It's Episode 24 on the 24th - make a wish!

Evelyn drags Nick into a true crime-themed episode of the RJ Pod… but instead of murder, we’re going straight to heists. First: a wildly French museum jewel robbery that Nick somehow missed entirely (despite being a true-crime guy). Then Evelyn hits him with Canada’s proudest, stickiest headline: the Great Maple Syrup Heist, featuring a strategic syrup reserve, barrels getting topped up with water, and a criminal empire that screams “OH! Canada!"

Nick counters with what he calls the most quintessentially American true crime: MLMs and confidence schemes, plus a detour into Bernie Madoff, Ponzi scheme logic, and why luxury brands basically benefit from chaos. 

This episode's got jewel heists, syrup heists, and enough reminders that the only way to properly pronounce anything en français, is likely with with a mouth full of syrop d'érable while wearing a toque.
