TONKA TRILOGY 1 It's CONplicated!

EP 1 It's CONplicated

Well, it's been a hot minute since we released Conning The CON to the World back in 2021, and since then, top of the list of questions asked is where can we hear the whole Tonka Trilogy? And so without further ado, we are sharing the actual recordings we made as we received the Tonka Trilogy.

Obviously, we can't get into Andrew's mind and understand what the hell he was thinking when he sat down and tipity typed out this bonkers attempt to convince Emma he was actually a spy, but we can share how we received it at the time. So to set the tone for these Tonka Trilogy bonus episodes, there is a lot of laughter in them, which might seem slightly incongruous with the rest of the podcast, but do keep it in mind.

As we recorded this, we were completely gobsmacked that this was Andrew's next move. And of course, Emma was spending the other 90% of her days in this state of anxiety keeping up the pretense that she was still dating this con man. 

So these recordings are the 10% of the day that we could finally have a little laughter therapy because imagine if you will

you've just found out that your boyfriend of six months is not only a serial conman but is trying to convince you that he's the world's most unassuming spy. 

I mean, I'm not sure that the term laughable has ever been more appropriate to a situation. 

And without further ado, let's take a little time machine back to April 2019 when Emma's inbox has just pinged with the latest email from Andrew......
