Dear blug.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
So the other day, I don't even know which day
is which around here anymore, but we were all collectively
having a day on the show.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
It's just one of those days.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
We're having some technical issues, you know whatever. It's just
a day that like it hits nine am and you
like today drained me and today hasn't even happened anyways.
So I was like, oh my goodness, I totally forgot
I have to talk to a group of high school
children today also, And by that time I looked dishoveled,
like my hair was up, like we were all just
like what just happened? And I was a little bit nervous.
(01:01):
I've talked about this before, but like younger kids scare
the crap out of me. I think gen Z did
that to me a little bit. They're very unfiltered, and
it's not a them problem, it's a me problem. I'm
a little bit sensitive. I'm working on me. But so
I was a little bit scared, like, what are these
kids going to say? Are they going to find this
interesting interesting? Of course the teachers want it for them,
but do they want it for them? So I gave
(01:22):
them a little tour and they actually shout out Wheeling
High School, by the way, and they actually were giving
me like hope for the future.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Now.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I don't know if they're a new generation or if
they are gen Z, but they were actually really locked in.
They were excited, they were engaged. They asked really good
questions while we were in the studio, and there was
never an awkward moment where somebody didn't have a question.
There was a few people who asked multiple questions. However,
we did at one point get to something that if
(01:51):
you've ever talked to kids and you're talking about your career,
you know it may be coming and you kind of
dread and it happened. I essentially got asked how much
I make? I say, and for us, like in our industry,
it's always like who's the coolest celebrity you've met, like
you know, those kinds of things. And I took a
second because I'm like, listen, like everybody struggling right now.
(02:12):
The economy is hard. I want to give these kids
hope for the future, a realistic expectation, and also not
say how much I make on the dot. So I
like panic for a little bit, and I was like, listen,
you know, I'm comfortable.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I can do X, Y or z.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Now you should always think that you're worth more.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
You should always strive for more. I tried to turn
it into like a little.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Lesson as opposed to like because the whole room mensil,
and they went, you know, like it got real weird.
But I danced around that one. Have you guys ever
been asked any like wild questions when kids the youth,
and I.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Get the stuttering like yeah, anyway, like that question how
much do you make? Like you and I don't want
to crush your dreams, you know, like I'm like, you
know what the the earning potential is endless.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
In this industry.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
If you put it, if you put your mind to it,
you can make whatever you set your price.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
A boy, how you carry yourself to sail out of one?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Do?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah? You saw a lot of words that they get tired.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Yeah, And I was wondering what was going on in
here because you were in here a long time and
my computer was still in here, and I was like,
I ain't going in there because I don't come there.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I didn't know what I was doing here. I was like,
some kids roasted her. She on her own, Okay, that's yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
I was speaking through the window like, wow, I don't know.
Maybe she dropping some real gems on the children. But
what I dropped, you survived, so you made it out.
That's all that mattered, barely.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
And they were all making me feel very old, like
my mom wants a photo. She loves you guys, my
aunt you know, And I'm like, what about you guys.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
It's never the high school kid. It's always you know,
someone else, and whatever. He was very sweet? Is your
mom hot?

Speaker 1 (03:55):
I want to say, Daddy, this is right.
Speaker 2 (03:57):

lead there were groups anymore. They asked the ladies to
do it instead. I don't know how I would have
answered that question.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yeah, like how because I mean on your feet it's like,
oh my goodness, yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:10):

It's a long road. It's not about the destination, it's
about the journey.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.

The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
