You know the tune — but do you know the man behind the feather in his cap? From his questionable fashion sense to the strange evolution of his place in American folklore, we’re digging into who Yankee Doodle really was, why he became a symbol of patriotism, and what “macaroni” has to do with anything.
We’ll take you through the lesser-known details of his connection to the Revolutionary War, his odd rise to cultural icon status, and of course, share a few laughable facts along the way. Was he a colonial hero or just the punchline of a song? Either way, his story is far more chaotic than you might expect.
Get your feather caps ready, and cook up some macaroni--because you know the vibes.
**disclosure that we are obviously NOT professional historians and don’t know shit about shit. there most definitely will need to be personal fact checking at every corner 👀. Ok love you. Bye**

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.
