Along the way Pete and Fran will meet Hollywood stars involved in bizarre plots and speak to famous figures from history, all in the name of finding something, anything, that's better than Robin Hood.

    Elvis Fast, Boston Furious

    Pete interviews a commuter about the Covid-19 outbreak but is he a pirate? We practice our Boston accents and watch 'The Fast & The Furious' (2001). Finally, we have a recording of Elvis Presley viewing some property. SHOW NOTES Those who engage in acts of piracy are called pirates, while dedicated ships that are used by them are called pirate ships. The earliest documented instances of piracy were in the 14th century BC, when the Sea Peoples, a group of ocean raiders, attacked the ships of the Aegean and Mediterranean civilizations. Boston is the capital and most populous city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States, and the 21st most populous city in the United States. Fast & Furious is an American media franchise centered on a series of action films that are largely concerned with illegal street racing, heists and spies. The franchise also includes short films, a television series, live shows, video games and theme park attractions. It is distributed by Universal Pictures. Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), also known simply as Elvis, was an American singer and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "The King".
