Remember last season's episode with Chelsie, a surrogate in Wisconsin? Today, on a brand new episode of Hope Works, we are thrilled to introduce you to Michal, one of the dads who Chelsie helped to become a father. Michal is a dad from the Czech Republic who flew overseas with his husband, David, to meet their surrogate, Chelsie, over five years ago. Today, thanks to help from Chelsie, Michal and his husband are the proud dads of two beautiful twin girls. Michal always knew he wanted to be a dad, but before he met David, he had no idea how he’d become a father. And he certainly didn’t know that a mom in Wisconsin would totally change their lives forever. What was it like to build a family with help from across the ocean? Press play to hear Michal share his story! You can follow Michal and his husband David on Instagram at @dvatatove where they share their growing family. And listen to Chelsie's episode to hear her side of the story! Thank you so much, Michal, for sharing your incredible story! We're so proud to be part of your journey!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

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. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
