We read another book! This week, Thomas and Sarah talk about, 'Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman', the memoir of the Nobel prize winning physicist who worked on the Manhattan project and the committee to investigate the Challenger disaster. He was also an exceptional drummer, painter, and lock-picker. This book is one of Tom's favourites, and while Sarah had no idea who Richard Feynman was, couldn't put it down. Conversation includes some rough explanations of quantum physics, whether it's okay to steal a door from your fraternity house, and the music of Macklemore.
We also discuss the fact that we now have merch available! Unfortunately, one of the designs we promoted has been taken down due to copyright issues, but our new logo is still available on a variety of items.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
