Imagine growing up in a home where both parents struggle with mental illness, addiction, and other challenges. What would that feel like?

Justin Pickens doesn’t have to imagine—he lived it. But instead of letting those hardships define him, he turned them into stepping stones to success.

Join Randy McNeely - Captain Kindman and Justin Pickens as  shares how a "village" of friends, teachers, and mentors helped him push through—and how he’s now paying that kindness forward, empowering others to rise above their challenges.

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.
