Welcome to Season 3 - Episode 9!
In this episode, I’m joined by my homeboy, Dustin! We’re diving into the final hours of Bobby Franks’ life and peering into the twisted minds of two wealthy kids who thought they were too smart to ever get caught—spoiler alert: they absolutely weren’t. We’ll talk Nietzsche, terrible alibis, why murder isn’t exactly a team-building exercise, and the hidden forces that turned an ordinary Chicago afternoon into a lasting nightmare the city would never forget. Come for the true crime, stay for the banter.
The poison in this episode is the South Side Fizz.
If you want to drink with us, you will need gin, soda water, lime juice and simple syrup.
The recipe for the South Side Fizz is as follows:
1.5 oz Gin
1/2 oz Lime juice
1/2 oz Simple syrup
Top with Club soda
Shake the gin, lime juice and simple syrup with ice in a cocktail shaker, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Top with club soda. Garnish with a mint sprig.
Enjoy!
