Get ready for a new drinking game! Play along with Katy as Hannah tells her the story of George Barnes (aka: George Kelly) and the spectacular, if not poorly planned, kidnapping he pulled off during America’s Gangster Era. And see if you can figure out which infamous figure we’re talking about before Katy does (no cheating!) From smooth talking bank robbers, to fumbled kidnappings (with IOU’s), to an unnecessarily complicated ransom-exchange plan, the girls cover it all, and go through a whole bottle of wine. 

So pour your own drink of choice, sit back, and join us for this indulgence in Hannah’s 1930’s fixation
