So, are you wondering who that guru, who that inspiring individual and all around intriguing person who has chosen to make time for us today is…. 

Well, you may have noticed someone missing from the start of the show and there’s a reason for that. Our guest, my guest, I can say is a friend, a colleague and a partner.

Please welcome my co-host, Debbie Lundberg. 

 

Debbie: Thank you Barb. 

Barb: You are welcome Debbie. Before we get started, as you know we like for listeners to get to hear something special, unusual, or defining about you that for some reason, if you don’t get to it today we may not otherwise know?  

So Debbie, the secret is out, what is the one thing that we wouldn’t know otherwise about you? 

 

Debbie: Oh boy, thanks for asking Barb. Something a lot of people don’t know about me is I’m not from Tampa. I’m not a Tampanian, rather I’m front Flint, Michigan and we get called Flintstones.

Barb: Wow! Did you say that right? 

 

Debbie: I did, I did and I love it. Well, about 80% of the time I just pop up before my alarm even goes off, I still set an alarm because Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays I’m registered with what we call our “5am Mafia” at Orangetheory in South Tampa and on Wednesdays I run with my friend Linny.

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.
