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. 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? Well, Dakota, luckily it's I'm not afraid of a scary story week on the OK Storytime podcast. So we'll find out soon. This person writes, My neighbor has been blasting music every day and doing dirt rituals. And now my ceiling is collapsing. I try to report them, but things keep getting weirder.

I think they might be part of a cult. Hold up. Real life cult? And what is a dirt ritual? No clue, Dakota. Find out how it ends. Listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, everybody, it's snacks from the trap nerds.

All October long, we're bringing you the horror. We're kicking off this month with some of my best horror games to keep you terrified. Then we'll be talking about our favorite horror and Halloween movies and figuring out why black people always die further. And it's the return of Tony's horror show, SideQuest written and narrated by your strength. truly. We'll also be doing a full episode reading with commentary. And we'll cap it off with a horror movie Battle Royale. Open your free I-Hard radio app and search trap nurse podcast and listen now. 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 lose it. They sort of went nuts. Until one night, everything spins out of control. Listen to hell in heaven on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey man, welcome back to the 85 South Show. We are live here at the 2025 B-E-T Awards. Now, media house, man. We're here.

Super popular. Who we got that? Who we got that? Who we got that? Come on, Johnny. What's up with y'all? We're in the building. Johnny Venus, look, I thought you had just changed your name than this right here.

I thought when your people handed me this, we were like, oh, this is where he's going by now. My boy, you on a horse. Yeah, that's out in Ghana. That's out there in Ghana. Yeah, we was out there in Ghana Parlaying. Man, that looked like an introduction to an Old Spice commercial. Yeah, I mean, hey, if they got the check, if they got the check. Look like you're about to look at the camera and say, look at your man.

Yeah. Now look at me. Now look at my horse. Now look back at your man. They got the check. We'll do it. Yeah. But, no, man.

Hey, first of all, congratulations on all your accomplishments, man. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. You're up until this point. You're going crazy. Likewise, man. Likewise, likewise, man. We've seen y'all get it out of the mud, man.

You know what I'm saying? For sure. It's supposed to be done. You're introducing the world to Johnny Vaney. Yes, sir. Yes, sir, yes, sir. What's the journey been like on that side? Man, the journey's been great, man.

Everything that we kind of, like, been building and pulling together from, like, the music that we've been making since 2000. You know what I'm saying? In 2002, whatever, anything, yeah, you got to pay attention. You got to pay attention. You know what I see what you're looking at. No, hey, hey. You got me. You got this.

I'm tripping. I'm going to put some glasses on. You fuck me up. Hey, man, look. You're going crazy. He's on a horse. I'm fucking with that thing you're doing, bro.

Shit. Yeah, yeah, what you said, boy. Yeah. Damn, bro. We can edit that out. No, we ain't. It's laugh. Hey, that's so real, man.

But, no, we've been making great music, man. And, like, I just want to put that into my art. That, the stories, you know what I'm saying? Everything that I've been a part of everything that I've experienced. You know what I'm saying? Like, I mean, We see it, you know what I'm saying? We start something, and then it grows into something else,

and it evolves, and it keeps evolving, and it's like, yeah, I want to tell this part of the story. Now, it's a new chapter, so I want to tell this part of the story of my life, and I think everybody could resonate with that. No, for sure. Now, check this out. You say, he was on a horse in Ghana. So that means you've been over there chilling enough to feel comfortable enough

to be like you at the crib. Yes, sir, yes, sir. Like, as an artist, how does that impact your art? Because people say once you go to Africa and you touch the soil, It's a life-changing experience. He's getting deep. I like this, man. He's getting deep right now.

He's getting deep. I'm going to try to figure this out how to say this. It's like, it's just like a reminder, you know what I'm saying, to like how far, how fly you are. You know what I'm saying? Because, you know, we over here. We've been over here four, five hundred years, whatever, give a take, whatever you want to say. And we got only so much that they let us know about ourselves. And we like, we get, you know, we don't did our thing.

We can't, we tall tees, you know what I'm saying? We don't swat it out. Went through a whole of. We did the dandyism and all that. You know what I'm saying? We're hydraulic, chop the cars, put dubs on things. Like, we're super creative. But then when you just hop across the water,

they'd be like, yo, they've been, this is a part of us, and they've been doing this for thousands of years. And it's like, it's just so much more that we can just pull out of, like, the mine, the gold mine is just so much larger. Exactly. And it's still. Exactly. So it's like the gold mine is just so much larger.

And you realize, you hear it in the music. You be like, oh, this from this Tia, song remind me of these brothers out here playing these kungas you know what I'm saying out here so it's like okay and then this from this this this this this this this burner boy song remind me or something you know I'm saying it's like oh it's all I got it now I can figure it out you know what I'm saying see that's why I got to go everybody got to go yeah at least one I got to go at least once you got to and then you got to like jill get yourself like 10 days because that flight scale a lot
