3w ago00:41:50Tap to summarizeWhat has two PhDs, a huge smile, and an unshakeable belief in aliens?

Transcribe →Desperate Bride: Toni Jo Henry
Apr 2300:50:23Tap to summarizeLife was hard for Toni Jo Henry in 1940s Louisiana. She was in the forced-to-grow-up-too-fast, creepy-men-all-around, dead mom, and alcoholic father club. So when she finally met a man who loved her for who she was, she was all in. But then her new husband was thrown behind bars, and Toni Jo decided that she needed to get him money for an appeal, and to get money she needed to rob a bank, and to rob a bank she needed to hijack a car…and suddenly she was on the long, dank rode to the electric chair.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Transcribe →Cowboy Bob: Peggy Jo
Apr 200:35:12Tap to summarizeWhen bank after bank kept getting robbed in 1990s Dallas, the feds were convinced they had a male criminal on their hands. I mean, the guy wore a cowboy hat! His mustache was so…manly! And most importantly, he was damn good at what he did. Surely the mild-mannered middle-aged woman with a series of dead-end jobs had nothing at all to do with the case…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
