This is really neat. A boxing gym and Makita, Illinois
is helping people in recovery by offering structured workouts focused
on physical and mental well being. It's founded by a
gentleman named Joe Leonard. He and his family established this
in memory of his late brother Brian. It's called BVL
Boxing Solutions, and they provide a supportive space where participants

can rebuild strength and confidence while trying to recover from
their addiction. Operating as a nonprofit, the gym allows people
to pay what they can while using boxing based fitness
to help them stay on track in their recovery. I
just think that is so neat, and that's why it
makes our smile file this morning.

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.
