He doesn't dance in the streets—but he films the people who do. In this episode, I sit down with the man behind some of Louisiana's most viral videos: Mr. John Weatherall. We talk about the unexpected rise of his internet fame, the King Cake Festival, working behind the camera at Mardi Gras parades, and the viral dance and song that bear his name. From quiet creator to cultural icon, this is the story of a man who captured the soul of the South—without saying a word.

Plus: camera talk, creative advice, and stories from behind the lens.

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.
