Also did you catch that one of his children was named Mintgomery? 👀 Brennan's been dropping lots of little Easter eggs!

Melissa Shilale

Your flowers, Erika, here are your flowers 🌹🌸💐🌺🌷🌻🥀🌼💮🪷🪻

I’ll add my praises for the great mystery but also I need to say I’ve never wanted to throttle a man over a joke more than when Brennan said the next Green child was Hunter

Phoenix Vizva’i

SOLVED! 💖‼️ Lol great mystery 🥰 did anyone else spend the first half though thinking Miss Brown was secretly in the mansion, probably working with Mrs. White or Scarlett? 😅

CarpeBootium

FACTS!

CarpeBootium

Masterfully done, Erika! Loved it!

Heydon Hensley

Ah, but how do you feel about Pickle?

K C

Mintgomery— I hope Izzy is naming the kids

Carrie Mook Bridgman

Nah. She's too much of a free spirit to marry him. I was catching sparks and wondering about a romance until Brennan couldn't resist naming his three children.

Derek Davidson

This whole thing was so fucking good!!! Amazing, Erica! Great! Simply Great! The whole team of this podcast just keeps raising the bar and leaving me wanting more.

Alisa Davies

Wow! What an absolute triumph!! So much nostalgia for a game I remember playing perhaps only twice between 7-9. I fell for the red herring, I was shook at the reveal! So masterfully brought together by everyone with the perfect amount of real drama and reference to the inspiration. Damn that was a hoot!!

Chris Atienza

Gaahhhhh!!!! The stingers were simply amazing! And the Who, Where, and the How at the end were just so perfect! Y'all can't keep getting away with these phenomenal endings

Adarsh Nednur

Genuinely I think this says something very profound about intersectionality and intersecting circles of privilege and marginalization that I can't quite articulate but I'm gonna be thinking about it for a while

chey

this was so fantastic!!!

Cullen Driscoll

Loved this series. I could watch Brennan play a 20s fixer for hours.

Adarsh Nednur

This show absolutely fucking rules

Aabria you freaking legend!!! This was a tidy little mystery Erika, Professor Plumb’s quietness and lack of scandal reveal + the fact that there were two shots fired (Ms. Peacock) lead me to believe they were the two most likely for the job. However, there were enough details sprinkled throughout to still have many of the other players continue to be viable suspects. As a fellow mystery lover, I think Agatha would have gotten a kick out of your mystery. 😁

Kat

I don't think I've ever been more satisfied with a "they all lived happily ever after" kind of ending. 💜

Nym

Sorry to intrude but I love your handle 😂

And then: 💥 🪟 💨👨🏻‍✈️👵🏼👨🏾‍🌾💃🏽🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️ 😮‍💨

As someone who grew up going to Hershey park, goddammit Lou 😂

Eric Stokien

There definitely seemed to be more desserts than deserts in that episode, though perhaps the Bodie mansion wound up a bit of a wasteland.

Aberdeen B

I loved this whole story so much!! And the incredible stingers and wrap up at the end with the envelopes and the baked Alaska and Erika’s last line just put the most perfect, wonderful bow on top of this incredible gift

Tifani

I actually did guess who the killer and accomplice were (but I guessed the killer would be the accomplice and the accomplice the killer) but I did NOT anticipate how they’d cover it up. Or that Erika would one up Brennan on the ridiculously punny baby names. Pickle is the kind of stupid shit you could get away with naming someone in the 1920’s.

Worlds Beyond Number

It is not a typo. It is correct.

Channing Kimble-Brown

This was incredible 😭 also I super thought that the desert was gonna come up somehow as a play on "just desserts" but after listening I think the title might actually just be a typo 😂 regardless, I absolutely loved this story and I'm so glad everything turned out ok ❤️❤️❤️

Jazz

You can always bet on Brennan to figure out how to say fuck the cops at least once. ✊ Hilarious series, Erika is a genius and so is everyone at the table. What a fun little series.

MJ

"So he heads south, to Pennsylvania... in a little town... called Hershey." You can FEEL the commitment kick in partway through

Witch of the western waves

Hahahaha I let out a proper cackle when I heard the last word. Bravo. 👏🥂

Deborah Kate

I love y’all, but I just gotta tell you. Attorneys aren’t allowed to write up (and notarize) wills that name them as the single beneficiary unless it’s immediate family. 😂 But hell yeah, go Mr. Green.

Sara Elizabeth Nesbit

Oh Sugar Plum ❤️ I was little sad that Mr Green was married. I think Miss White would be an excellent attorney's wife. ❤️❤️

Dukinator

I KNEW IT

Abigail Agnew

We love a black woman winning.

Zephry Wright

Everyone: 🤬🏃🏿💃🏽🔫🤼🏽‍♂️👵🏼 Abria: 👩🏿‍🍳🔥 Everyone else: 😯

Devon

Such a good campaign - absolutely loved Claw’s self preservation instincts kicked in here in such an impersonal way. No vendetta or hatred just “I gotta get mine and get out of here, you all can and will fend for yourselves” I also love that Cassidy was willing to burn down his own home if needed. This was so fun WBN crew! Such levity amidst my relisten to the WWW (the gang is about to head into 12 brooks and this arc is just as interesting as it is sad)

Skeletal Cleric

Brennan: Nothing will ever put us above the public suspicion of 1920's high society. Aabria: What about racism?

Kelso31415926

Amazing! Outstanding ending! Bravo Zulu and I can't wait for more!

1man2hands

Curious to see how a desert ties in.

Jesús Blanco

Nah, Cassidy's a man of integrity and family, and Claw's tastes are too french to find him anything other than merely interesting.

Steven Collins

Incredible! What an ending!

Bean Planter

Ahhhhhh! Wait, so Claw and Cassidy weren't having an affair? I had so much monopoly money riding on that.

Perrin Jasper

This was such a satisfying ending!!😭

TPK_light

The baked Alaska! 😂

PriscillaG

Ahhh! This was so good and with a banger of a closing line! Hats off to Erika! I hope they are riding a tidal wave of awesome with this and a certain video game recently released 😊

xatlern

Well now I'm just curious where everyone ends up when WWII starts up, especially with Claw in Paris 👀 although I guess if she's friends with Josephine Baker she might end up a resistance spy as well.

Erin

Bravo! This was so fun! I would die for little Pickle.

Sir Tibbles

I had to hold myself back from screaming when Brennan mentioned the potential name of his son being Hunter. Perfect reference, no notes.

Michelle Spurgeon

Well that happened

The Witch of the Well-Struck Flint

This was so much fun! Did not see the ending coming this whole episode was wild!!

Carl Shotwell

This series was really good! I loved listening to it!

VforVenlee

I lost my MARBLES when plum started describing a quiet life before he ever said a town

Shannon Brooks

Sugarplum I’m so proud of you 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Izer

45:00 "ALRIGHT WHERE'S BODDY WHERE'S HE HIDING?" 'He's hiding in the study, eh?'

Abigail M

This whole thing was an absolute joy to listen to!

Zoop

This is exactly the corner of humor my father and I have overlap in. You captured the vibe so perfectly I now miss him which is crazy cuz I visited home two Days ago, but then again, I wouldn’t expect any less from the great power of wordplay so deeply dorky & simple it transmutates into a line worthy of an action/fantasy hero quip pre/post/mid fuckin up some poor scheming schmucks whole month (& face). Moreover, your use of “shall” instead of the poor man’s knock off, “Will” was definitely the right choice & absolutely necessary. 😤 TDLR: you made me chuckle out loud w/ the kind of pseudo-joke I make w/ my dad & I highly approve of your specific word choice— (un)necessarily substituting “Will” out for “Shall” never fails to amuse me.

Pep

As someone from the Hershey area, I had to pause the episode when I realized what Lou was setting up

Skeletal Cleric

Not just desserts?

The Pompous Peasant
