Episode description

Do you have a nickname? Is it better than "Jazz"? The answer is no, we're telling you now. Tune in this week for a much more lighthearted listen as Shannon tells Emma all about the Great Brink's Robbery, one of the most notorious crimes in American history, or so we've been told. Not only was it one of the biggest cash heists in history, it also was chock full of perfect names. We've got Fats, Gus, Trigger,  Specs, and a few more we picked up along the way in this Ocean's 11-esque heist of the century.
