Hardy And Sons

The boys crawl across the field in a thinly veiled metaphor for how the author writes these three chapters.

The boys ignore child abuse and other crimes to focus on Breakfast Food

The boys remain unimpressive and we find ourselves distracted.

Every good trick has three parts. The Promise, The Turn... AND THE PRESTIGE. 

In this episode, we examine the first half of one chapter of the original book, but just as we near our break, David's phone dies, and we lose our connection with each other. However, the integrity of our recordings is unscathed. We had planned on recording the second half before posting this, but Shaun has been traveling. So you can have this first part of the eighth part of our comparison. Goodnight!

We end up talking about the book a bit.

The boys are given a boat and they make bad decisions.

However questionable, the boys make much more modest decisions for rescue apparel than their 1960 rewrite brothers.

The boys visit Carl Stummer

We talk about hurting people for fun and soap.

We find rabbit holes and take them as deep as they go. We explore parts of the books and ourselves that had only just been discovered. 

We make it through three chapters of the original 1927 version. It's pretty dense.

The boys ask direct questions and the criminals incriminate themselves without hesitation.

This chapter was fine. 

The boys find a hidden room.

The boys discover a science trick and make bad assumptions. 

The boys finally start to realize what they did not for the last 15 chapters.

The boys talk to an even younger boy for clues.

Our recording quality has changed. We are staying isolated to abate the spread of the Corona Virus. The boys enjoy lemonade and a good story from their dad.

Cops allow teenagers into an active and explosive crime scene.
