Scheduled hang outs? Impossible. FaceTime? Too much chin. In the eyes of comedian and writer Jo Firestone, the spontaneous phone call is where it’s at. Ellie and Scott may be skeptical of this particular form of communication, but after laying out all the positives, Jo might now have two new people she can catch up with while driving home from Burger King.
Please note: Ellie, Scott, and Jo recorded this episode before the Los Angeles wildfires began. Their hearts are with the rest of their LA community.

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.
