Get ready for a new drinking game! Play along with Katy as Hannah tells her the story of George Barnes (aka: George Kelly) and the spectacular, if not poorly planned, kidnapping he pulled off during America’s Gangster Era. And see if you can figure out which infamous figure we’re talking about before Katy does (no cheating!) From smooth talking bank robbers, to fumbled kidnappings (with IOU’s), to an unnecessarily complicated ransom-exchange plan, the girls cover it all, and go through a whole bottle of wine.
So pour your own drink of choice, sit back, and join us for this indulgence in Hannah’s 1930’s fixation

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.
