  • When Austin Powers tried to steal the crown jewels
    May 3 2022

    Hazel tells Shane all about the extraordinary life of Colonel Thomas Blood, the infamous con-artist who after botching a kidnapping took the next logical step: attempted the only known heist of the Crown Jewels. Cue lots of innuendos.
