My guest today is director Kareem Tabsch. Kareem is an Emmy-nominated filmmaker whose work focuses on documenting that which exists on the fringes of mainstream society.

Kareem is here today to talk about their newest full feature documentary NAKED AMBITION, the story of Bunny Yeager, who once heralded as the world's prettiest photographer, had a huge influence in 20th-century pop culture though few people know her name.
Ladies and gentlemen, the incredible full feature documentary film NAKED AMBITION, the story of Bunny Yeager, who once heralded as the world's prettiest photographer, had a huge influence in 20th-century pop culture though few people know her name.
Whether by popularizing the bikini, helping discover Bettie Page, shaping the image of Playboy or inventing the selfie, Bunny was a trailblazer whose work bucked against conservative 1950s America and helped pave the way for the feminist movement and the sexual revolution. Yet the very changes she helped usher in would soon render her a forgotten relic...till now.
Featuring Dita Von Teese, Bruce Weber, and Larry King's last film appearance, Naked Ambition is a rediscovery of a brilliant and talented forgotten artist. Thank you Kareem for sharing this amazing documentary about Bunny Yeager with me today.

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.
