There are lots and lots of tennis "one-liners" - little bits of tennis advice that are summarized in just one sentence. And a lot of times, they're actually great! They can be simple to understand and easy to apply. So how often have you heard this one? "Take the ball on the rise." Your tennis pro may have said that to you. Or maybe you've heard a commentator talking about a pro doing it during one of the Slams. And maybe you're already doing that - taking the ball on the raise. But maybe you're not. Maybe you've heard that one-liner and wondered - what the heck does that even mean, take the ball on the rise? And how do I do that? And why would I even do that?  In this episode, we're talking about taking the ball on the rise and why you should try it out the next time you hit the tennis court.

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.
