Chris and Jesse's second experience with fost-adopt was "a completely different rodeo," as they became a beautiful family with a fragile baby and his toddler brother. Learn how they were supported through foster-to-adopt and family services organization Vista Del Mar as they worked to care for children who were victims of abuse and mental illness, the sacrifices they made to ensure the kids got the best physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and medical support, and the ways in which they're all thriving as a family of four today, with school age children learning about Mexican culture, Jewish culture, LGBTQ community and more. You'll feel the love when you meet this incredible pair of gay dads who've survived the dark times and come through to the light despite all obstacles.

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.
