Bonus video! Brooklyn's bungling gay bank robbers
Added 2025-03-23 16:00:11 +0000 UTCHello there!
It's hard to believe how many mistakes John Wojtowicz & company made when they decided to rob a bank in August of 1972 -- the heist that was eventually dramatized in the film Dog Day Afternoon. That movie includes a few of their goofy missteps, but it leaves out some of my favorites: The three failed attempts that began the day; the terrible timing with the armored car; and my favorite detail of how the bank manager cleverly managed to tip off his colleagues about a robbery in progress. I've got all the details in this week's bonus video, plus a completely unrelated invitation to join me in Monster Hunter with the friend code WH38N3SN.

I saw it as a teenager in the 70s and to this day 50 years later my favorite line is "Kiss me, kiss me, I like to be kissed when I'm being fucked." I still use it in business.
