It’s another week of wild takes, viral moments, and productive conversations! Matt dives into the latest in pop culture — from Timothée Chalamet officially winning “White Boy of the Year” to the internet debating whether Jacob Elordi could actually pull off James Bond. We also break down Netflix’s chilling new Ed Gein series and that viral “What am I doing wrong?” photo everyone can’t stop talking about.

Then we get deep: were Al Pacino and Diane Keaton truly the loves of each other’s lives? Should George Strait have done the Super Bowl halftime show instead of Bad Bunny? (The answer is no but people tried to make it happen)

Plus, we rank the Top 5 Trash Male Hobbies, discuss things you should never say to a single person, and answer this week’s Sex and the City Questions of the Day.

We wrap with some Nuclear Opinions and a nostalgic showdown between the Dudley Boyz and the Hardy Boyz — because wrestling icons deserve their flowers too.

Pop culture, chaos, and truth — all in one productive conversation.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

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.
