#208 - Championship Level Drama - The Litigiousness of Scottie Pippen
May 12, 2020 04:13 - 2 hours - 160 MBThis week, we look at a very successful person, who never seemed like they'd turn out to be so successful. He was a six time NBA champion, who played next to the great of all time. He also spent money in dumb ways, drove a little tipsy, was a little careless with guns, and the police know the address where he and his reality show star wife lived. Not to mention, more lawsuits than you could shake a stick at, including one that names a 5 year old girl as a target. What a mess! Gr...
#207 - A Mushy Minded Murder - The Audaciousness of Del Fontaine
May 05, 2020 02:19 - 2 hours - 139 MBThis week, we go back in time to look at man who had it rough. He had over 100 boxing matches, back before we even knew what CTE was, the 1920's/1930's. This all resulted in bizarre behavior, culminating with a jealous outburst at both his mistress... and her mother. He admits to the crime, but will his diminished capacities keep him from hanging in London's gallows? This is a wild & crazy ride through history!! Go to the bathroom in a freezing hole in the ground, fight so much ...
#206 - A Fiend For Violence - The Savageness of War Machine AKA Jonathan Koppenhaver
April 28, 2020 04:05 - 2 hours - 150 MBTW/CW.. This week, we look into a man who makes it REALLY hard to like him. His first, second, and third responses are all the same, violence. He attacks people in public, in bars, and worst of all, in their own homes. All the signs were there, but the world wasn't sure just how awful of a human being he is, until he commits an act so heinous, that he may never get out of prison! Screw up every opportunity that you get, make sure to say all of your craziest thoughts in public, a...
#205 - Diving Into Death - The Ironicness of Bruce "The Comeback Kid" Kimball
April 21, 2020 02:58 - 2 hours - 132 MBThis week, we jump into the deep end of a murky pool. A man who was raised to be a champion, from the time he was in diapers. He was on a clear path to a gold medal when tragedy struck, and he was severely injured in a car accident. His remarkable comeback, all the way to the Olympics was nothing short of amazing, but he quickly threw it all away. In the end, people are killed, and so is a legend! Work your way back from horrific injuries, throw it all away with booze & pills, t...
#204 - Handcuffs & Wedding Rings - The Domesticatedness of Jerramy Stevens & Hope Solo
April 14, 2020 03:50 - 2 hours - 155 MBThis week, we take a look at a guy whoo seems to have been getting arrested since birth. From high school, and beyond, he developed a pattern of having no regard for rules, the law, or other human beings, then having people get him out of trouble. He continues this pattern, until he meets his future wife, soccer star, Hope Solo. She seems to fit right into his lifestyle, as they end up entangled with police, as a couple, on more than one occasion, in addition to having her own probl...
#203 - More Lives Than A Drug Addicted Cat - The Profligateness of Marty Jannetty
April 07, 2020 04:12 - 2 hours - 163 MBThis week, we bodyslam our way through the story of a man who defines the term "wasted potential". No one in wrestling history has been given more chances to be employed, or screwed those chances up quite so badly. He did plenty of drugs, fought cops in bar parking lots, and that's only the beginning. Tales of his debauchery are legendary. Some are hilarious, and some are downright criminal. He is a unique kind of disaster! Have sex with your cousin, snort your way out of every ...
#202 - The Junkie Debating Society - The Obstinateness of Alan Wiggins
March 31, 2020 04:39 - 2 hours - 155 MBThis week, we check out a nearly forgotten baseball player, who was once the catalyst behind a team that went to the World Series, but just a few short years later, he was out of the sport, all together. Why? Cocaine, and plenty of it. Also, he had quite the attitude, causing fights with everyone from friends, to teammates, to his team's manager. His post-baseball life was sad one, complete with a penthouse apartment, specifically for shooting heroin. This is a wild tale! Live y...
#201 - Pouring Champagne On A Fire - The Downhillness of Steve "Franchise" Francis
March 24, 2020 04:04 - 2 hours - 151 MBThis week, we talk about a man who somehow went from dropping out of high school, to the NBA in a matter of a few years. He sold crack, and ran the streets but always kept his basketball dreams alive, and eventually it paid off, at least in money. But he has been full of problems like being belligerent to cops, drinking to excess, getting robbed, committing a burglary, and a whole lot in between. He leaves you with only one question... WHY?? Drop out of high school, be intimidat...
#200 - Elvis Dies Tonight - The Vengefulness of Tim "Doc" Anderson
March 17, 2020 04:22 - 3 hours - 168 MBThis week, we take an extra long look into one of the strangest stories that we've had in all 200 episodes. A boxer, a large, redheaded man called "Elvis", drugs, a threatened quadriplegic, guns, murder... This story has it all. When a boxer feels he is wronged by his slimy manager/promoter, he takes matters into his own hands. Was it justified, or just a brain damaged delusion? Find out! Spike up your hair, take your vitamins, and kill Elvis with Tim "Doc" Anderson!! Check ...
#199 - Heads Are For Hitting - The Conspicuousness of Mark Gastineau
March 10, 2020 03:25 - 2 hours - 147 MBThis week, we follow the trail of a man who has been living on the edge for 40 years. A star NFL player, from a tiny school, that ends up setting the single season sack record. He also started a Studio 54 brawl, went out with movie stars & models, had a crazy mustache, and got arrested. A lot. Court orders mean nothing, and people who don't want to be slapped around, mean even less. Can he turn it around to something positive, or will his story end sadly?? Dance your best sack d...
#198 - Many Musclebound Murders - The Anabolicness of David Bieber
March 03, 2020 04:04 - 2 hours - 154 MBThis week, we look at a man who was obsessed with looking good. He even tried to make a career of bodybuilding, but ended up selling steroids, getting involved in love triangles, and plotting murders. Just when police are closing in on him, he disappears. Seemingly gone for good, but actually living in a another country, and under an assumed name. Will he just quietly hide out, or brashly make his presence known, and participate in more horrific murder?? Fill yourself full of st...
#197 - Hard To Defend - The Irritableness of Anthony "Rumble" Johnson
February 25, 2020 04:04 - 2 hours - 141 MBThis week, we check out a fighter, with fierce reputation, in the ring, and a less than stellar reputation, outside of it. He came from a less than ideal background to make it to the top level of MMA, but little things, like pesky arrests kept getting in the way. From his history, let's just say that he seems to have a slight problem with women, and leave it at that. Bruised girlfriends, and flying yogas mats are his specialty. But will that lose him his job, or will it be pushed as...
#196 - A Violence First Approach - The Hardness of Vinnie Jones (And The Scummie Awards!!)
February 18, 2020 12:07 - 2 hours - 157 MBThis week, we look into a man who always used violence as a first resort. He was a football mainstay due almost entirely to his force of will, and the sheer terror that he inflicted on his opponents. On the streets, he seemed to approach life the same way, and when you get up in the sky, he's even more aggressive. Luckily for him, he turned this image into a pretty healthy movie career, becoming a familiar face, all over the world. It's Vinnie Jones!! Also... THE SCUMMIE AWARDS!! ...
#195 - When Sad Becomes Stupid - The Insistentness of Mookie Blaylock
February 11, 2020 04:18 - 2 hours - 155 MBThis week, we celebrate our 4th anniversary, and head down the road with a man who certainly shouldn't be driving. He fought his way from community college, to a big time program, to being an NBA All-Star, seemingly using nothing but will, and determination. Unfortunately, he didn't seem to have the determination to not get arrested. His actions escalated, until a seemingly inevitable tragedy takes place. Will he ever learn his lesson? Fight your way to the NBA all-star game, ge...
#194 - The Death Of An Image - The Depravedness of Rusty Torres
February 04, 2020 04:01 - 2 hours - 148 MBThis week, we find out about a man who lived his childhood dream, making it to the major leagues, and even on to his lifelong favorite team. His baseball career fizzled out, but after a couple bumps in the road, he pulls his life together, and even does good for the community. That is, until shocking, and horrifying charges are leveled against him, and nobody thinks he's such a great guy anymore! This one is insane!! Work your whole life to achieve a goal, then achieve that goal...
#193 - None Of This Is Good For You - The Capriciousness of John Kordic
January 28, 2020 04:14 - 2 hours - 154 MBThis week, we try not to blink because we would miss this shooting hockey star, and his unraveling life. A Canadian kid, achieving his goal by making it all the way to the NHL, and serving as the resident goon, beating up anyone in his path. The problem is when you have a propensity for violence, and you mix it with a cocaine addiction, and an enormous amount of steroids, you get a whole lot of insane things happening, in a very short amount of time! Skate around with the Stanle...
#192 - Money Never Sleeps... In Jail - The Exacerbatingness of Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr
January 21, 2020 05:01 - 3 hours - 168 MBThis week, we check out the life of one of the richest, most successful athletes in the world. Unfortunately for world, and especially for the women in his life, he is an absolute jerk, in every sense of the word. From jealous rages, to controlling people with his money, and lashing out at home owner's association security guards, bouncers, jail guards, or anybody who happens to be around, this guy never misses an opportunity to disappoint!! Be an undefeated champion, own a flee...
#191 - Dancing To His Own Beat - The Restrainedness of Clarence Kay
January 14, 2020 03:47 - 2 hours - 154 MBThis week, we explore the life, and considerable screw ups of a man who was a national champion in college, and played in three Super Bowls, only to be overshadowed by a slew of almost innumerable run ins with police. He is apparently a terrible driver, and he makes it even worse by never having a license. What he does have, is a lot of cocaine, and several women with orders of protection against him for his insane behavior! Play in multiple Super Bowls, but never win one, alway...
#190 - The Prince Has Problems - The Troublesomeness of Brian "Grandmaster Sexay" Christopher Lawler
January 07, 2020 04:11 - 2 hours - 158 MBThis week, we check out what it's like to follow your legendary father's footsteps into the profession that made him famous. We find out that it has advantages, and disadvantages, but it doesn't explain the road that he went down. He just couldn't understand that taking several different kinds of drugs, on a regular basis, wasn't a good life plan. The whole thing comes to an absolutely crazy conclusion, filled with many more questions than answers!! Struggle to follow your famou...
#189 - Funkadelic Toothlessness - The Flyness of James "Fly" Williams
December 31, 2019 03:50 - 2 hours - 136 MBThis week, we check out a legend of the New York City playground basketball scene, who made it all the way to the pros, before his interesting personality, and flair for the dramatic got him banished back to the playground, and eventually to a much worse place than that. He seemingly cleaned up his act after recovering from a gunshot wound, and some time in prison, by helping kids, and becoming a role model... until the police came breaking down the door, accusing him of being a dru...
#188 - Killing In The Name Of... - The Senselessness of Mark "Gator" Rogowski
December 17, 2019 04:03 - 2 hours - 161 MBThis week, we circle back, and take a fresh look at a man who we covered in our 10th episode, with an all new episode! He was a beloved, and famous icon of skateboarding, in the 1980's, until things started to go downhill, both personally & professionally. His dark path continued until it culminated in one of the most heinous, horrid things that we've ever talked about. He's a truly awful person, and we have so much information that we didn't have time for, way back in 2016!! Be...
#187 - Porn Stars, Brain Damage & Murder - The Variableness of Justin "The Executioner" Levens
December 10, 2019 03:03 - 2 hours - 145 MBThis week, we try to get into the head of a man with a tough upbringing, that put his anger into fighting, inside the ring, instead of in the street. He eventually worked his way up to UFC, but injuries, lack of conditioning, and a serious drug habit kept him from becoming a champion. As his life unravels, and he faces charges in court, and the end of his fighting career, he does something so drastic, that there's no coming back from it! Grow up angry, develop a nasty drug habit...
#186 - He Offers No Apologies... Or Candy - The Pleasantness of Albert Belle
December 03, 2019 03:34 - 3 hours - 167 MBThis week, we duck flying objects as we look at a man who exhibited behavior that can be described best as "aggressive", and at worst as "insane". He was an eagle scout, and an honor student, but he unleashed a real fury when he played... and the rest of the time, too. No one was safe, teammates, thermostats, clubhouses, girlfriends, strangers, fans, trick or treaters, Hannah Storm, it really didn't matter. This guy was a general menace, and it's simply hilarious! Be one of the ...
#185 - Put That Christmas Tree Down! - The Productiveness of Oliver "The Atomic Bull" McCall
November 26, 2019 04:12 - 2 hours - 157 MBThis week, we take a gander at a man who came from a troubled background, and was never supposed to about to anything. He shocked everyone by becoming the heavyweight champ. He also attacked festive hotel lobbies, robbed homes, fought cops, smoked a lot of crack, and had one of the strangest moments in the history of sports during a world title fight! It's Oliver McCall!! Shock the world by becoming champion, have your robbers come back to ask follow up questions, and never hold...
#184 - A One Man Crime Wave - The of Expeditiousness Chris Henry
November 19, 2019 03:40 - 2 hours - 146 MBThis week, we check out a man who may be the definition of "shooting star", as he rose from obscurity to reach his NFL dreams. Once he got there, things didn't go so well, as he fell in with the wrong crowd, seemingly never able to get out of his own way, but always in the path of the police. He was falsely accused of a horrible crime, by a teenaged prostitute, turned insane murderer, and that is considered heart warming compared to the rest of this tale. It's Chris Henry!! Be a...
#183 - A Cop Punching, Face Slashing Good Time - The Derangedness of Kelly Petillo
November 12, 2019 11:27 - 2 hours - 134 MBThis week, we fire up the engines to bring you one of the wildest, craziest people in the history of the show. He was a dare devil & race car driver from the days before they even wore helmets. He was an Indianapolis 500 winner, cementing his place his racing history. This all seemed to go to his head, as after that he seemed to think it was okay attack police officers (multiple times), shoot at service men, home from WWII, attack women (multiple times), sometimes with a knife, amon...
#182 - I've Never Even Seen Crack - The Bionicness of Kevin Stevens
November 05, 2019 04:33 - 2 hours - 163 MBThis week, we skate directly into the eye of a storm of bad circumstances, luck, and behavior, with a man who was at the top of his game, winning championships, and making big money. This all changed with both a head injury, and a newly found love of cocaine. This culminates in a sleazy hotel, gangster, prostitute, bribed cab driver, crack rock kind of evening that leaves his problems exposed to the public. It only gets worse from there, with the FBI getting interested in his dealin...
#181 - Get Me My Gun... And The Shovel - The Enormousness of Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson
October 22, 2019 04:58 - 2 hours - 131 MBThis week, we look into a man who came along at just the right time to get rewarded greatly for his considerable talents. Unfortunately, that may have made him think that he was entitled to do whatever he wanted to do. This includes fighting with female gas station attendants, driving a Bentley while drunk, and barging into his ex's house at 3am with a frightening request. It's a story of someone who never wanted to follow his father's footsteps, but does he? This a crazy story, com...
#180 - Sprinkle Some Cocaine On That Child - The Uncontrollableness of BJ Penn
October 15, 2019 03:30 - 2 hours - 142 MBThis week, we explore what it's like to be prodigy, become a champion, and blow it all due to stupidity, and lack of temperament. This guy is no stranger to unsanctioned bar brawls, as well as championship UFC fights. No one seems safe when he's on the warpath, bouncers, friends, children, his girlfriend, uniformed police, it simply doesn't matter to the man who seems to have gotten more chances than anyone in UFC history. He's a mess, and only getting worse. It's BJ Penn!! Have...
#179 - House Phones & Forehead Punches - The Phenomenalness of Dwight "Doc" Gooden
October 08, 2019 04:25 - 3 hours - 175 MBThis week, we see what it's like to get everything that you could ever want, by age 20. The spoiler is that apparently results in heavy drinking, bad driving, non-payment of debts, domestic violence, and more cocaine than you could shake a stick at! He lived as high of a life as was possible, and ruined one of the most promising baseball careers in the history of the sport. Just when you think he's good, now... He's most certainly not. Get blackout drunk to break your slumps, al...
#178 - Dogs, Weed & Ladies of the Night - The Consequentialness of Nate Newton
September 24, 2019 03:21 - 2 hours - 155 MBThis week, we ease up to a buffet of bad decisions, bad instincts, and just plain stupid. He worked his way into the NFL, becoming a Super Bowl champion, on a dynasty of a team. With all that glory comes excesses of every kind. From food, to drugs, to women, and he sampled it all. His crimes are just as dumb as some of them are awful, and his tendency to give a hilarious, if not insane quote serves the story well. This one has all the crazy one could want in an episode!! Dream o...
#177 - Did Rocky Shoot Adrian? - The Impetuousness of Paul Spadafora
September 17, 2019 03:35 - 2 hours - 154 MBThis week, we wander down a path of crazy, with more idiocy jumping out from behind every door. He came from a terrible situation, and tried to make Pittsburgh proud, by becoming a champion. Problem is, he also became a drunk, a crack head, and someone who would shoot his girlfriend, and put a 63 year old woman in a head lock, for no reason. Not to mention his penchant for intra family rumbles with just about anyone he's related to... and that's just the start of his storied record....
#176 - Footloose & Fancy-Free - The Unfortunateness of Kerry Adkisson AKA "Kerry Von Erich"
September 10, 2019 03:37 - 2 hours - 126 MBThis week, we look at some good ol' Texas style tragedy! He was royalty in the world of wrestling, along with his father & brothers. They were worshipped by the locals, and idolized by fans, all over the world... For a while. Drugs, arrests, tragedy, a nasty motorcycle accident, and the loss of his brothers were just more than he could handle, as he slipped further down a path of destruction! This one is deep with crazy! Fight off adoring women as you walk to the ring, wrap a la...
#175 - As Messed Up As He Wants To Be - The Outlandishness of Dennis Rodman
September 03, 2019 05:03 - 2 hours - 156 MBThis week, we check out one of the all time legends of basketball, and stupidity! From the humblest of starts, he was literally a late bloomer, who figured out that basketball could take him places. He has done everything from championships, to arrests, to dating Madonna. His exploits are enough for about 3 episode, but we manage to squeeze it into one wild & wooly tale!! Buckle up, this guy is an all timer!! Steal watches from the Dallas airport gift shop, slap Carmen Electra, ...
#174 - Jesus Is Better Than Meth...? - The Highness of Christian Hosoi
August 27, 2019 03:03 - 2 hours - 133 MBThis week, we peek into the air to see a man soaring over head... then crashing hard, down to earth. He was a beach kid, turned one of the most exciting skateboarders on earth, mixing technical precision with daring heights, and cool style, all his own. But the party scene got to him. He tried it all, but settled on meth, and continued to destroy his career & life, until a warrant for his arrest makes him miss the opportunity to make millions, and be more famous than Tony Hawk! Plus...
#173 - Machette, Paint Thinner & Gasoline - The Unsparingness of Ugueth Urbina
August 20, 2019 03:49 - 2 hours - 133 MBThis week, we look at man who came from nothing, and achieved his dream of being a major leaguer. Not only that, he was an all star, and World Series Champion... But that all unraveled, and it ended up with some nasty charges involving a machete, some gasoline, a little paint thinner & a lighter. These charges would land him in Venezuelan prison with his good name ruined. He also indiscriminately fires hand guns from car windows & is not above a bar brawl. Did we mention that his mo...
#172 - Beware The Russian Reaper - The Dangerousness of Alexander "The Grim Reaper" Emelianenko
August 13, 2019 03:33 - 2 hours - 133 MBThis week, we take a peek at the life of a man who started out, behind the iron curtain, growing up in the streets. From there, he learned how to fight in the ring, and became one of MMA's most feared punchers. Problem is, he likes to punch things, out of the ring, as well. Like fellow airline passengers, or random bar patrons. He is also proficient in sexual assault, having feuds with his own family members, and saying some really dumb things. He is a roller coaster, from start to ...
#171 - Shooting, Punching & Arugula - The Conscientiousness of Adam "Pacman" Jones
July 30, 2019 03:26 - 2 hours - 130 MBThis week, we take a long look at a man who, despite immense talent, was always a bigger force of nature, off the field, than on it. He showed flashes of brilliance, only to have his progress be taken back 2 steps, by yet another arrest. Fighting? Absolutely. Drunken strip club attacks? You know it. Cheating at a casino? Threatening the lives of police? Punching a woman? Indeed. And then some. He's truly one of the most requested episodes that we've had, and it's still better than a...
#170 - Praise The Lord... Pass The Crack! - The Phenomicalness of Aaron "The Hawk" Pryor
July 23, 2019 03:15 - 2 hours - 150 MBThis week, we check out a legendary boxer. One of the greatest of all time. One of the most prolific punch throwers... and crack smokers in history! He fought his way out of a childhood, where sleeping outside was preferable to being home, to become a true legend. Then he discovered crack, glorious crack. This led to fights with everyone, including his mother, crazy crack house confrontations, getting shot by his "wife", lies, restarts, rehabs, jail, more arrests, panhandling, a ton...
#169 - Trouble Keeps Bubbling Up - The Photogenicness of Todd Carney
July 16, 2019 03:04 - 2 hours - 132 MBThis week, we look at a man who keeps dousing his own dreams... and not with water. He played for big time teams since he was a child, but never quite learned how to stay out of trouble. Alcohol is the main source of his issues, and he sure knows how to put on a show! Whether it's running from the police, getting banned from being in an entire city, or having some very unfortunate pictures make the social media rounds, this man never disappoints!! Refuse to quit drinking to exce...
#168 - Just Put It In My Bucket - The Bigness of Oliver Miller
July 09, 2019 03:22 - 2 hours - 151 MBThis week, we gaze upon a buffet of disaster, as we check out a man who had all the potential in the world, but couldn't stop screwing up long enough to fulfill it. There were dark accusations of a horrible act, family troubles that led his father to murder his uncle, and a few gun problems for himself. Not to mention the fact that the scale was his worst enemy, pushing nearly 400 pounds at some points in his career! This one is biiiig fun!! Weigh in, every day, blow all chances...
#167 - I Don't Recall That Stabbing - The Fogginess of "Dirty" Dick Slater
July 02, 2019 03:13 - 2 hours - 142 MBThis week, we head down a well traveled road with a man who was respected among his peers, as well as feared. He achieved his dream of big time wrestling, but the life of the road, the booze, the ladies, and eventually the injuries got to him, causing a very quick slide into drugs, knives, thievery, and just plain embarrassment. It's a crazy tale, full of insane stories, gunplay, knife wielding, fights, and some of the most ridiculous statements ever uttered!! Beat Dusty Rhodes ...
#166 - No Concept Of Failure - The Delusionalness of Lenny Dykstra
June 25, 2019 03:26 - 3 hours - 176 MBThis week, we dip back into the crazy waters of a man that we covered in our first year of the show. Problem is, he's lived more than an episode of his insane existence since that time, so we've had to circle back, and pick up the pieces. What more has he done? Wrote a crazy book, been arrested a LOT, accused Charlie Sheen of murder, and ruined an otherwise quaint New Jersey neighborhood, to name just a few. He's a menace, and we are all the beneficiaries, because we get to explore ...

#165 - He Did More Than That - The Historicalness of O.J. Simpson
June 18, 2019 04:09 - 2 hours - 155 MBThis week, we delve into the history of a man who came from humble beginnings to become an icon, that almost transcended race, while compiling a Hall of Fame football career, starring in countless tv shows & movies, and appearing in commercials for every product imaginable. Under the smiling facade, was a very flawed person, who also enjoyed cocaine, many, many women, and rocky circumstances with his long term relationships. His world crumbles amid early domestic violence, strong ar...
#164 - Magical Mystery Brain Damage - The Untoldness of Roberto Medina
June 04, 2019 03:55 - 2 hours - 136 MBThis week, we take a look at a man who came on to the boxing scene, literally out of nowhere. He seemingly had no past, but he certainly had a future in fighting. He made it all the way to the national stage before questions arose. Questions like "who is this guy?" cause his secret to be exposed, and his world to crumble. Just when you maybe start to feel bad for him, you find out something even more sinister!! Start boxing at an older age than usual, have all your secrets expos...
#163 - Too Fast, Too Soon - The Put-uponness of Jennifer Capriati
May 28, 2019 03:46 - 2 hours - 154 MBThis week, we once again look at the question of just how young is too young to force your child to be a bread winning, family supporting professional athlete. I think we can now safely say that 13 might be the answer. She burst on to the international tennis scene as a 7th grader, and quickly took the world by storm. She also began to hate her forced profession, and all that surrounded it, leading to years of problems & resentment. After a major career comeback, an injury forces he...
#162 - The Cathouse Killings - The Unsalvageableness of David Tyner
May 21, 2019 04:51 - 2 hours - 160 MBThis week, we crawl into the life of a man who had plenty of promise. He was a state wrestling champion, and even earned a college scholarship. But it all fell apart. He tried his hand in some MMA competition, but ultimately washed out of the sport, much like college, and the Marines. What's left for a guy like that? Enforcer for a drug kingpin, of course. But when he thinks he's not being compensated like he should for his work, a plan is hatched... This plan results in some of the...
