Wild Ride: The Carriage House Murder-for-Hire

In game theory, there’s this thing called the Hawk-Dove game,
better known to most of us as “chicken.” It’s when two players get
themselves into a sort of standoff—a situation where it would be
better for everybody if somebody would back down, but nobody wants
to be the first to give up. So they both just keep going, with no
regard for their personal safety, until
finally—hopefully—somebody’ll say uncle at the last possible
second. It happens on the road sometimes—often with bloody results.
And sometimes, it happens in business. Join us for a story of pure
greed and ego, set against the unlikely backdrop of the horse-drawn
carriage business in 90s Kansas City, Missouri.
