Special 3 - Operation: Fast & Furious

We're back! Once again, we return from a rather lengthy hiatus with a very special episode! After a whole lot more reading than is usually required for one of these (see links below), Zach presents the true story of Operation Fast and Furious, the real-world government scandal we've alluded to a few times on the show. And Joseph, of course, will be playing the role of the audience, because he didn't do any of the homework. Featuring shadowy government agencies, superweapon development, a plethora of crimes, and of course fast cars-- it has all the makings of a Fast and Furious movie, except for a happy ending. Because of the truthful nature of this episode's content, it's a little heavier at times than you might be expecting, but we hope you'll stick with us as we present Operation: Fast & Furious.

A big thank you once again to our brother David for the "original" piano music featured in this episode!

Content Warning: This episode discusses the September 11th terror attacks (00:09:28 - 00:14:14) and real-world gun violence, including the killing of law enforcement professionals (00:50:38 - 00:53:30, chapter title "Part 7: Tragedy"). If you'd like to skip either section, you can use the chapter markers (if your player supports them) or just scrub past the timestamps.
