In this episode of Hidden Thorns: The Names They Gave Us, The Stories They Told, we explore the profound impact of the names and labels we’ve been given—by our parents, families, and society—and how they shape the stories we live by. These words, whether uplifting or painful, often become the foundation of our identity and self-worth. Join me as we examine how these labels have influenced us, and discuss ways to reclaim our personal narrative, heal from past wounds, and redefine the names that no longer serve us.

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.
