The Final Podblem: The Read Headed League, or: What If Holmes, But Crime?

in ,

 The chapdudeladbois discuss being ginger for fun and profit, what the  hell a Raffles is, how capitalism turns adherence to the law into a  luxury not everyone can afford, and the finer points of objectively  insane Minnesotan vernacular. Also, Nick shares his very own real-life  Minute of Deduction and Casey is literally as wrong about how this story  ends as it is possible to be, like it's almost kind of impressive how  backwards he got it.

The Detective Soup of the Week is: Suspicious Delicious.
