When Joe Carter hit that home run, Joe Warmington wasn’t just reporting the story — he was living it. The veteran journalist joins Shane Hewitt to revisit what it meant to witness one of Canada’s most iconic sports moments from both sides of the line: as a reporter and as a fan. The two explore the shared thrill and tension of that instant — what Joe calls a “Canadian cheek-clenching moment” — and how it became more about unity and emotion than victory itself.
From politics to pop culture, they reflect on why that collective joy still matters today.

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.
