This is one of the most personal and honest episodes I’ve ever done. I take a step back and reflect on the darkest season of my life — the moment I almost ended it all — and why I’m grateful I didn’t.


This episode is about more than just my story. It’s about the pain we carry, the battles no one sees, and the choice to keep going when quitting feels like the only option.


If you’ve ever felt like giving up, I want you to hear this: your story isn’t done. You are not alone.

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and this is one of the most personal episodes I’ve ever recorded.


In this remastered episode, I reflect on the darkest season of my life — the moment I almost ended it all — and why I’m grateful I didn’t. This conversation is for every Marine, veteran, and anyone out there who’s ever felt like they couldn’t keep going.


Your story isn’t done. You still have time to rewrite the ending. You still have a purpose.

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.
