Hold on, is this an after show exclusive? This is
an after you're bringing the heat to the podcast.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
In the heat, no one else has heard this story,
bringing it to you. Okay, our boss calls me on
Friday and says, hey, remember that thing I talked to
you about like a couple of months ago, Well it's happening.
I said great. He goes, yeah, you are going to
run a half marathon. I was like what? And when
did I say that I was running a half marathon.
(01:46):
He's like, yeah, don't you I don't know. He goes,
I don't know. But marathon sports. You know we're gonna
You're going to go into partnership with them, and they
know you're a runner, and you talk about it on
the show a lot, which I do. I think maybe
at some point I I said I was thinking about
running a half marathon, and the word is thinking about
so now I am running a half marathon when I
(02:08):
think it's going to be November twenty second. It's in Pabody.
It's a Live Strong charity event. Happy to do it.
So yeah, so I started my training yesterday. I ran
twelve miles.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Oh yeah, you got this in the bad.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I'm fine with it. But again I was like, okay,
I guess I'm doing this.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
But you have been talking about it for years about
running the Boston Marathon as an ultimate goal.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Well, the BAA has this thing, they have a three
race thing that they do during the year, and I
had signed up for it like a couple of years ago,
and then you know, I was I couldn't do the races.
So it's like a five k to ten k and
then a half marathon. So their half marathon is November ninth,
and I'm going to be out. I'm going to be
away that weekend, so I can't do it. So that's
when the November twenty second date came around. So yeah,
(02:53):
I've been talking about it, and this is like pushing
me to do it.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
You know what, this is a turkey trot. It is
it's right before Thanksgiving. You're right, right, it's kind of
like a turkey traad.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I can have like a second piece of pie.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
So you did twelve miles, so you got this in
the bag.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah, I think I'm okay. Like I just had to,
Like I was like, how will my body feel? And
I feel fine?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Well, the thing about you is you've been running a
long time. You love to run, and a lot of
people might not know that. You get up super early,
even earlier than us in run most days.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Write I mean, there will be a lot of women
out there are going to relate to this. But sometimes
as a woman, you wake up in the middle of
the night, get two thirty, and you just can't go
back to sleep, right, So we get up at like
three forty five anyway, So I'm kind of like, why
would I just lay here for an hour? Why don't
I just get up, get my workout in, and then
like check that box.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
You get it out of the way exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, so then you can go home and do whatever
you need to do or take a nap.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
So yeah, so you get up to if you went
two thirty, you wake up, you get on the treadmill.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, I mean I don't do it all the time. Yeah,
but I've done it a couple of times. Definitely.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah, you are a big runner, so this is actually perfect.
I'm actually happy that they did this Marathon Sports. Yeah,
I'm surprised someone hasn't done it sooner.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
It's marathon Sports and PbD. So what we're gonna do
is we're gonna sort of document my journey on social
leading up to the race.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Okay, that's cool. Are you gonna have to like give
updates while running?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
That would be funny. That would be funny.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I know.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I just hope the weather's okay. Oh yeah, and if
it's like a day.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Like today, hopefully the sun is shining, you know what.
Speaker 3 (04:31):

it's going to work out. But yeah, so you'll see
me out in Pebty on November twenty second.

exclusive for our listeners.

right away? Dms and talkbacks get Lisa on, you know,
because this is more of an unfiltered Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
You don't go in them.

I was thinking about doing the Abington one.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
That one's scary.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Okay. The last time I was there, I dropped Max off.
He was probably in tenth grade with a bunch of
his friends. I'm I for some reason, I got out
of the car in the parking lot, walked them in.
Getting back to my car, they have.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
People in the park yeah, with chainsaws and chainsaws.
Speaker 3 (06:36):

I was like, get me out of here. I was terrified,
so I didn't even imagine what goes on inside. But
I want to go.

Yeah, it's fun. It is fun, gets scared. Lisa Gemma went,
she's still. She didn't go press, she didn't go in
the haunted houses, but she was walking around with the
scary guy. She got to scared a couple of times.
Did they touch you, No, they can't talk. Yeah, they
can't touch you. But you know, when you go in
with your kid, it's like, you know, you've got to
be strong for him. But they got me a couple
of times.

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.
