How do I even begin to describe this episode?
Well, in 1963, Paul Zahl, head guy at National Geographic coined a phrase when referencing the Coast Redwoods and Giant Sequoias in California. He called them the Mount Everest of living things.
Fossils and seeds from these majestic beauties have been discovered in a place that can't be explained. Some date back 45 million years.
What started as a simple assignment from my acting coach turned into an expansive journey that left me trying to connect the dots using the reintegration of wolves to Yellowstone National and a story about a tree that fell in the woods over one hundred years ago.
Tune in to listen to one of the most difficult episodes I've ever recorded and quite possibly one of my favorites.

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.
