There’s no competition quite like the one that exists between brothers. From Cain and Abel to the Bee Gee’s brothers have always been at each other’s throats trying to outdo one another.

For those who made it this far, thank you for listening. Normally I would post a reading list, but this is a story I saw unfold right in front of me. Kansas City was literally the happiest place on earth for one month and I will never forget that feeling. Matt Fulks' "Out of the Blue" is a nice little book that covers the story but leaves out all the devil magic and such, but it is a nice little dose of nostalgia that will help fans forget about every season since 2017; for an afternoon at least. Thanks again for listening and stay tuned for "Enemies of All Mankind" A high flying tale of high times and high crimes in the city of Pittsburgh and how a parrot brought down the once dreaded Pirates.
