This is an I-Heart podcast.
Hello, America's sweetheart Johnny Knoxville here.
I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast,
Crimeless, Hillbilly Heist, from Smartless 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's still,
from the rich and gifts 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
that 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 Crimless,
Hillbilly Heist on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.
Hey, I'm Kyle McLaughlin.
You might know me as that guy from Twin Peaks,
sex in the city, or just the internet stand.
I have a new podcast called What Are We Even Doing,
where I embark on a noble quest
to understand the brilliant chaos of youth culture.
Each week, I invite someone fascinating
to join me to talk about navigating this high-speed roller coaster we call reality.
Join me and my delightful guests every Thursday
And let's get weird together in a good way
Listen to what are we even doing
On the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts
Or wherever you get your podcasts
Two rich young Americans move to the Costa Rican jungle
To start over
But one of them will end up dead
And the other tried for murder three times
It starts with a dream, a nature reserve
And a spectacular new home
But little by little
They lose it, they actually
We lose it.
They sort of went nuts.
Until one night,
everything spins out of control.
Listen to hell in heaven on the I-HeartRadio app,

And this dog that we got in here with us right.

multi-talented

man BET Awards
2025 man it's like
It's a good time.
It's a good time right now.
Man, what you've been up to?
Get us up.
Just drop my album, May 2nd, title JL.
Season 7 of the Shire Inn right now.
No, for sure.
Renewed for season 8.
Damn, don't play with it, man.
Man.
Good, man.
Just working it out.
You know, that's big in the TV world.
Eight seasons?
They usually say anything past five.
Yeah, anything past five is lit.
So I'm super grateful.
I mean, because, you know, the film industry, like, turned off for a minute.
four minute like it was like a whole film strike so but y'all didn't took their franchise to a whole
another level yeah i mean shout out to lena man we it's it's a big ensemble cast like it's so
many characters and it's like it's a dope way for to bridge the gap between o g actors in the game
and then like a lot of these new actors that's just starting out this is the launching path for
their careers you know what i mean you know one of my favorite things about the shaft
yeah is watching how far the story can evolve yeah just watching the characters
develop you know yeah it's just real and raw like we we don't try to always please people with
things like you know what I mean Emmett's going through like some stuff like he's like he's
having to take responsibility but sometimes he complain a little bit you know what I mean
and the girls be like why he complaining that's his son but it's like that's life that's real life
you really stressed out you're not always like okay yeah I got it yeah that my next we was just
trying to pitch the shoulder Tyler pair about what the baby dad is be going through yeah
yeah we know about we need our story Tyler got a here bro you know what like even
on the show, like you show the sign of
like the baby daddy could be cool with
the boyfriend. Hey man, it can happen. People need
to see that in real life. It can happen. It's called
co-parenting. It can't happen.
That is called co-parent. It can't
happen. It's definitely. No,
definitely can't happen. So I mean, we
definitely, we're seeing like a young couple like
Emmett and Keisha be
forgiven and gracious and like work
each other's like things out
and you see this young couple
like really doing life together.
You know, and it's growing up, right? It ain't always
It's pretty, you know what I mean?
So it's like, I think it's so dope to see on screen because we're in a generation now
where it's like, you do one thing, it's, we're gone.
Your first little mistake, we're out of there.
We ain't about to, you know what I got so many officers.
And nobody's going through nothing, no.
You just fuck up one time and it's over with it.
Like, we done.
That's fair to music, too, don't you think?
Absolutely.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, we got to fight for the love, man.
We got to fight for unity and family.
Like, I think that's- You're bringing the love back.
I'm trying to do it, man.
You know what I mean?
R&B, I've always done it.
I think it's just the timing of just where I'm met right now.
Like, a lot of people don't even know I do music.
Yeah.
Like, that's, I feel like a new artist right now.
That's what I was saying, brads.
Like, I was about to ask you, you going and you're shooting this show that's wildly successful.
Then you're going to the studio to, like, basically your other job.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How do you keep the passion going for both and give them both 100%?
It's been times where I stayed out of the studio for like a year or six months.
You know what I mean?
So I've been working on the album since season four.
So I recorded a batch of songs that year, then was out of the studio for a few months,
live with those records.
I may listen to them in between scenes while we filming.
I'm like, oh, this still sound good a year later.
Like, you got to keep this one, got to buy this one, got to keep that in the vault.
You know what I mean?
And that's why I was like, let me take my time with this album.
So if I do drop an album, like, it's like, it's timeless.
It don't feel, it feel good, no matter what era we in.
Do that keep you hungry, though?
Like, even, you know, you're a successful actor,
but, like, you still want to prove yourself as a music.
So it's like, they're sleeping on me.
I got to wake them up.
Yeah, because, I mean, you got to think, like, nobody's reached all their territory yet.
You know what I mean?
It's the world's so big, man.
Like, it's countries that I could walk into, they've never seen the shot.
They've never heard of my music.
They don't even know who, you know what I mean?
So I think it's always good to know, like, hey, there's always more territory to conquer.
But also, just also focus on your fans, too, because sometimes you could drive yourself crazy trying to get the whole world involved.
But, you know, when you're just trying to create a business and create a brand, you just need your fans.
You need a good amount of your fans to be supportive, and you can capitalize on it.
Gotcha.
Yeah, it can't change too much too fast.
Yeah, that's right.
Because you've got to bring them alone.
Like, some people like to be a part of the movement.
Absolutely.
And the growth, then they see the potential and they want to be down with you to see you get to that other side.
Yeah, absolutely.
Because sometimes, like, when I find a new artist and then I see a show of theirs, I'm like, oh, they fans singing back to them, let me go listen to their album.
You know what I mean?
Because I think that's what's happening with a lot of artists.
You know what I mean?
So many artists out got their own following.
And they had that catalog.
That catalog.
And it's so much content dropping at once.
Now, you know what I'm saying?
It's like 80 albums a year from one artist dropping.
You know what I'm saying?
So, like, you got to really keep up.
They come and they go.
You don't even know they out until you hear somebody listening to it.
That's right.
All right, man.
For the 2025 BET Awards, we came up with our own segment.
Uh-huh.
And that segment is called, what the fuck you got on.
Okay.
And you just tell us what you got on.
