About this episode

The episode explores the story of Christopher Hiscox, who committed a 'gentle crime' by stealing a truck and living on a ranch, reflecting on themes of desperation and mental health.

When 33-year-old Christopher Hiscox ran out of money halfway across Canada, he didn’t rob a bank—he stole a truck, found a ranch, fed the cats and horses, did some laundry, made coffee, and settled in like he lived there. Rhys and Jesse dive into the viral “gentle crime” that captured headlines, what it says about desperation, comfort, and mental health, and why the weirdest part might just be the toothbrush.
