The Saint Albans Raid - Welfare Napalm

This episode holds a special place in my heart for a couple of different reasons. First, it happened in my home state of Vermont, and secondly, I got to spend a couple of hours hanging out with my little brother. We talk about fun trips we took in our childhood, hospital trips with Dad for an axe wound, the beauty of childbirth and even about this one time that a bunch of Confederate soldiers came down from Canada and robbed a series of banks in the Town of St. Albans to try and get some payback for perceived war crimes. They came up with a great, well-thought-out plan and executed it, until they realized the people of the Green Mountain State are VERY big fans of the 2nd Amendment. Oh, and the best part is, this great plan that they came up with was basically a comedy of errors and incompetence; they should have made off with WAAAAY more money than they did, but they were bamboozled by some of the locals. With all that said, somehow, this story ends in a way that nobody saw coming, the leader of the raid doing a complete 180 and completely redeeming himself as a human. This one was a ton of fun to do, and I think you’ll hear that in the recording!Get episodes a week early, and ad-free access to all episodes on Patreon: https://patreon.com/1159media
