Dive into a thought-provoking episode of "Just ON with Jonty James" titled "Changing The Description of Addiction" with our special guest, Drew Wild. 🌟

Join us as Drew Wild embarks on a mission to transform how our world perceives and addresses addiction through a lens of trauma.


His aim? To shatter the stigma often attached to the term "addiction." According to Drew, the phenomenon of "addiction" or distraction has infiltrated every corner of our lives. In a hyper-connected society, people are increasingly seeking to numb themselves or divert their attention away from their inner selves.

From substances like alcohol and drugs to habits like social media, dating apps, overeating, and workaholism, this overindulgence in distraction prevents individuals from authentically experiencing and processing their emotions.


Drew believes that addiction is a symptom of a more profound underlying issue, a coping mechanism employed to suppress past hurts and pain. To truly address the global issue of addiction, Drew urges us to shift our focus from "why the addiction?" to "why the pain?"—to unearth the root causes and heal on a deeper level.

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.
