  • This is an iHeart podcast.

  • Hello, America's sweetheart Johnny Knoxville here.

  • I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crime List,

  • Hillbilly Heist, from Smart List Media, Campside Media and Big Money Players.

  • It's a wild tale about a gang of high functioning nitwits who somehow pulled off America's third largest cash heist.

  • Kind of like Robin Hood, except for the part where he steals from the rich and gives to the poor.

  • I'm not that generous.

  • It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon,

  • then just totally muffed up the landing.

  • They stole $17 million and had not bought a ticket.

  • to help him escape.

  • So we're saying, like, oh, God, what do we do?

  • What do we do?

  • That was dumb.

  • People do not follow my example.

  • Listen to Crimeless, Hillbilly Heist on the I Heart Radio app,

  • Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

  • I live below a cult leader, and I fear I've angered her.

  • Wait a minute, Sophia.

  • How do you know she's a cult leader?
