Madison Fincher opens up about the years she spent dependent on alcohol, the night that sent her to the ER, and the long road that followed. She shares what withdrawal really felt like, why “high-functioning” nearly hid the truth, and how choosing treatment, ketamine-assisted therapy, and radical honesty helped her rebuild. If you are struggling with addiction or love someone who is, this conversation is a hand on your shoulder. You will hear the early signs she missed, the hard ultimatum that finally landed, and the hope she found on the other side of three years sober. If questions about cutting back are already in your head, this episode will help you listen to your gut, ask for help, and take the next right step.

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.
