29: Lost and Found pt.2: Money and a Gun

Forget what you think you know about Patty Hearst. This week Maia launches us into Part 1 of the Patty Hearst story. From the headline grabbing antics to the violence the SLA (Symbionese Liberation Army) was willing to (and did) commit. We meet a host of characters who are complex and controversial as we begin to dig into what happens when a young person has Money and a Gun. How does a millionaire heiress end up robbing banks alongside her kidnappers—and what on earth do plumbing disasters and chaotic book clubs have to do with it? Join hosts Maia and Grant as they hilariously unravel the surreal, shocking saga of Patty Hearst and the radical, oddly theatrical Symbionese Liberation Army. From wild carjackings and infamous shootouts broadcast live on national TV, to unexpected detours about quirky pets, fantasy novels, and DIY home repair nightmares, this episode blends dark humor, personal anecdotes, and unbelievable historical twists into one unforgettable ride. Prepare yourself to laugh, cringe, and question everything you thought you knew about victimhood, radicalization, and the absurdity of revolutionary antics in 1970s America. If you thought history couldn't get weirdly funny—think again! 00:00:00 Intro 00:23:19 Money and a Gun 00:25:00 The 1970s Scene 00:29:44 Cobra Branding 01:08:06 Hearst Kidnapping 01:34:25 Billionaire Ransom 01:47:04 Revolutionary Training 02:41:06 Bank Heist Mayhem 03:05:39 Shootout Showdown 03:20:44 To Be Continued Connect with Us Love a good laugh?
