Speaker 2 (00:12):
Hi, I'm Josh Dean very serious investigative podcast journalists, and.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I'm Rory Scovell, extremely serious comedian, actor, lover and fighter.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
We want to tell you about our new show Crimeless,
from the ingenious minds at SmartLess Media, Campside Media, and
Big Money Players. It's coming out this fall, and it's
like a new kind of true crime podcast one where
we dig into the stupider side of breaking the law.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
That's right. Every week, we're going to tell you about
some ridiculous attempted crime, all dreamed up by some of
the dumbest criminals in the world.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
And we're going to start the whole thing off with
an extra long tail, almost too good to be true.
It's called Crimeless Hillbilly Heist, and it's hosted by a
friend of ours.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
A friend who's kind of a jackass himself. Oh God, Johnny,
that's your cue.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Thanks, Rory. I'm Johnny Knoxville, and I'm going to kick
the Crimeless train off with the wild and wooly tail
about a gang of high functioning netwits who somehow pulled
off America's third largest cash heist.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
The Pile of money I ended up with weighed over
a ton. Literally, I say I stole a ton of money.
It's true, the.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Crew has hold of an entire bank ball full of catch,
and they've got the FBI and the media hot on
their trail. But if you got so much dough and
there's no way to hide it, why not put it
to good use.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
They bought a mansion, bought a BMW.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Bought a tahoe, bought a forty three thousand dollars ring
pressed in plants for his sisters.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
And don't forget the leopard print staircase develove at Elvis Painting,
and a wine cellar stocked with the finest cheap beer.
Regular folks who risked everything just so they could buy
their way into a different life.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I remember saying it's bitch now.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Kind of felt good, kind of like Robinhood, except for
the part where he steals from the rich and gives
to the poor. I'm not that generous.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out
there who's ever shot for the moon. Then just totally
muffed up the landing.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
He was just going to leave the method up to
me because I was a trained assassin.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
They still seventeen million dollars and had not bought a
ticket to help him escape.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
So we're saying, like, oh God, what do we do?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
What do we do?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Come for the true crime twists and turns, and stay
for the screw ups.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
It was kind of like the perfect storm and a
sewer that was dumb. People do not follow my example.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Introducing Crimeless Hi'llbilly Heist, a podcast that proves almost anything
as possible from SmartLess media, campsite media, and big money players.
Come October fifteenth, with new episodes every Wednesday for eight weeks,
