We meet Pao (she/they), the perfect ingredient for a fun interview from start to finish. She’s a young actress in Central Florida, who played the Cannibal Chef in Zero the Writer‘s play Who Mothered the Corpse? at The Orlando Fringe Festival in 2023.
Welcome to our tenth episode! Thank you for following and listening to us in our intro season. There's more to come as the show continues evolving. We're having a blast making it, and hope you are doing the same while listening.
Pao is one of Orlando’s up-and-coming, fresh and energetic talents. We learn about her acting, her family and her roots, and her personal views on sexuality and gender. This week of Orlando Pride, we share her message of positivity, acceptance and her go-getter attitude. She shares about her passion for acting and performing, and lets us in on what makes acting and inhabiting new characters so enticing. For Pao, experiencing new characters is a break from reality.
🚨The interview starts with an ASMR segment, but then goes back to regular conversation. Please keep in mind that the regular sound levels do come back ‼️ 🚨
Before the interview with Pao, Lex and Tony give an update on the state of Tony’s voice. He has an inflammation at the fold of a vocal cord, mostly an annoyance that’s very much in the way of everything ☹️. Tony has dealt with it before without surgery. Surgery would instantly fix the symptom, but not cure the problem which is chronic. We’ll keep you updated on his progress toward recovery. Send us good vibes and join us on instagram to keep up with us!
Lex, on the other hand realized he signed up for skydiving! This would happen sometime in March next year. We’ll keep you posted as we get closer to the moment of truth. 🚀

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.
