Dear Pennies and Pallers,
Please welcome our Pal and newest guest host, Ryan Sickler! In today’s letter Jacqueline asks about our thoughts on displaying yard signs and bumper stickers. We also talk about Ryan witnessing crime from his old balcony, Daniel’s brilliant brake light invention, finding porn as a kid, and more!
We wish you well, sincerely,
Your Pen Pals, Daniel Van Kirk and Ryan Sickler

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.
