Emmy-winning producer Shannon Malone-deBenedictis joins Lauren for a raw, hilarious, and unfiltered chat about showing up unapologetically in a world full of BS. From surviving Hollywood’s image obsession to calling out the epidemic of weak leadership hiding behind subtext, Shannon breaks down why being direct is the ultimate power move. Expect F-bombs, stories of sharks and water buffalo, and a no-holds-barred look at fat bias in media, the myth of mentorship, and why problem-solving—not perfection—is the real career flex.

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.
