⛰️ Summit Stories & Trail Laughter: Climbing Humphreys Peak with Friends 🥾🎉
Season 11 kicks off with a bang—and a summit! In this special in-person premiere episode, we hit the trail to the highest point in Arizona—Humphreys Peak—joined by friends Kelly, Bekka, Britt, and Grant for an unforgettable group hike. Recorded both before and after our 11-mile, 3,300+ ft climb, this episode captures the nerves, excitement, trail talk, and post-hike hilarity that can only come from a shared summit adventure.
We get into hiking superstitions, trail mix preferences, altitude surprises, and what it really takes to push past the tree line—together. From group encouragement to summit celebrations, this episode is all about community, challenge, and the joy of doing hard things with good people.
🎙️ Tune in for trail laughs, summit vibes, and the perfect start to Season 11.

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.
