#303 - If Michael Jordan Was Crazy... - The Transcendentness of Diego Maradona
May 17, 2022 00:40 - 2 hours - 162 MBThis week, we look at a man who was once the most famous human being, on the planet Earth. He was a hero of his country, and many others, as well. Given godlike status by fans, all over the world, his soccer prowess was unmatched, but so was his ego, and passion for partying. Cocaine, ladies of the night, and plenty of mafioso friends led him down a path of excess that got him in trouble with police, on multiple continents, and destroyed his health. His legend is enormous, his list ...
#302 - Meaner Than His Dogs - The Rabidness of Ray McDonald
May 10, 2022 00:38 - 2 hours - 163 MBThis week, we check in with a man who came from an athletic family, and followed in his father's footsteps, by going to dad's alma mater. All seemed set for a great career, and a good relationship with the community. The football didn't pan out quite like he thought, but the off the field violence does. Terrifying accounts of a very large, very drunk, very angry man, with a propensity for violence. The video of one of these incidents became widely available, and is quite disturbing,...
#301 - Smuggling, Scamming & Speeding - The Prosperousness of Vic Lee
May 03, 2022 00:48 - 2 hours - 138 MBThis week, we race into disaster, with an Englishman, who went from managing a car dealership, to running his own champion race team. But racing is an expensive sport to maintain, he found that out, first hand. His solution? Smuggle huge amounts of cocaine, in your car parts, while returning from other countries. Just when you thought he learned his lesson, he is busted, in a sleazy way, a trunk full of coke, in a Holiday Inn parking lot! None of this keeps him from landing, and kee...
#300 - Kill Me Twice, Shame On Me - The Recurrentness of Ron Lyle
April 26, 2022 01:00 - 2 hours - 145 MBThis week, we tell one of the most incredible stories, in history. Not just sports. He grew up with 18 brothers & sisters, in a good family, but he took to the streets, being convicted of murder, before any thought of a sports career took place. His rise from teenaged murderer, to fighting Muhammad Ali for the heavyweight title is remarkable. But not as remarkable as the fact that he wasn't done getting arrested. Fights with his wives, resulting in gunplay, and falls from second sto...
#299 - Too Much Hype, Too Many Guns - The Marketedness of Sebastian Telfair
April 19, 2022 01:38 - 2 hours - 151 MBThis week, we check out a guy, who was already signing autographs, while in the 6th grade. A prodigy, and phenom, on the level of Lebron James, but he could never quite live up to the hype. Instead, he screwed up. A lot. He seems to have particular liking of guns, specifically carrying them, in places that he shouldn't, such as planes, or New York City. He beefed with rappers, hung out with celebrities, and always ended up in trouble. He even took part in a huge financial scheme wit...
#298 - Off To See The Wizard - The Crookedness of Ken Clay
April 12, 2022 00:24 - 2 hours - 146 MBThis week, we look at a man who went from being a two time World Series champion, and the pride of his hometown, to being an embarrassment, to all concerned. His upbringing was one for the ages, complete with some things that not even we have heard about, before. His end in baseball came quickly, but his life of crime spans a good 20 years. Somehow, he thinks it's just fine to steal directly from his employers. He learns his lesson, then moves on to ripping off individuals, with som...
#297 - One Big Pose - The Boastfulness of "The Total Package" Lex Luger (Larry Pfohl)
April 05, 2022 01:44 - 3 hours - 177 MBThis week, we check out a very well known wrestlers, who worked for both WWF (at the time), and WCW, being on tv, just about every week, for more than 10 years, after his football career ended. He was known for his incredible physique, and also his incredible arrogance. It all came tumbling down, in a haze of pills, booze & steroids. From driving 167 MPH, to having a large stash of drugs found in his house, after an equally well known female wrestling star dies, in his condo. It get...
#296 - Escalating In Awful - The Contemptibleness of Dana Stubblefield
March 29, 2022 01:05 - 3 hours - 173 MBThis week, we dip back into the brain damage sports, with a longtime NFL player, who just happens to be a REALLY terrible person! He says all the right things, but they all seem to not be true. Like when he said that he didn't kick his girlfriend, in the head, because she wanted to feed their newborn baby at 4am, or when he said he didn't try to run that woman, on that bicycle down, with his SUV, or when he said that he didn't rape that developmentally disabled woman. Things like th...
#295 - The Nutsack Nibbler & UPDATES!! - Donovan Salvato, Tammy "Sunny" Sytch, Jeremy "Mayhem Miller, Ben Cousins, Adrien Broner & Joey Barton
March 22, 2022 00:30 - 2 hours - 154 MBThis week, we quickly get into a short, but insanely funny story, about an aspiring MMA fighter, who figured out a new kind of attack, on his roommate. Then, we catch you up on what some of our favorite CIS subjects, from the past, have been doing. Turns out, they've been getting arrested. A lot! Hear all the crazy details of new crimes by Tammy "Sunny" Sytch, Jason "Mayhem" Miller, Adrien Broner, Joey Barton, and, of course, Ben Cousins. How much meth do you think you can fit up yo...
#294 - Long, Thick & Massive - The Theatricalness of "Neon" Leon Spinks
March 15, 2022 00:56 - 3 hours - 174 MBThis week, we explore one of the most interesting, strange & wild careers that we've ever heard of, combined with a private life that can easily be described as "erratic". He has more arrests than you can count, but one thing remains true, that he's self destructive, but very nice person. An Olympic gold medalist, and member of a legendary boxing family. He became heavyweight champion of the world, in only his 8th fight, and it went downhill from there. Fast. He even had his teeth s...
#293 - Violence Starts At Home - The Acclaimedness of Bobby Hull
March 01, 2022 02:29 - 3 hours - 179 MBThis week, we check out the life of a legendary hockey player, who was the idol of fans, and had the cleanest reputation that there was, during his playing days, but the facade quickly crumbled. Angry, brooding, and taking it out on his family, while womanizing, all over the place. This was a definite deviation from his public image, of the perfect family man. On the ice, he was definitely an all time great, but off the ice, his real personality was harrowing & dangerous. As if all ...
#292 - Heroin, Murder & The 2022 Scummy Awards - The Gnarliness of Jay Adams
February 22, 2022 01:59 - 3 hours - 176 MBThis week, we look into a skateboarding icon, who many say invented the modern style of skating. He was just a kid, when he turned professional, but he certainly lived like an adult. An adult on the edge. He blew off commercials that he landed, and got into the LA punk rock scene, leading to his starting the ball rolling on a terrible murder of one man, and the near death of another. From there, his life continues to be a mess. He shoots cocaine, gets addicted to heroin, and makes t...
#291 - Bleaching Away The Rough Spots - The Inflammableness of Terrell "T-Sizzle" Suggs
February 15, 2022 01:45 - 2 hours - 159 MBThis week, we check out a very successful NFL player, who has a history of doing some dumb, and some just plain strange things, over the last 20 years. A brawl before the draft, an absolutely awful driving record, and some seriously wild accusations at home. He's been accused of hitting, throwing bleach on, and even dragging a woman from a car. Then, he got married to that woman. His off the field activities are as crazy as his on the field activities are successful. A huge, arcing ...
#290 - God Is Naked, Too - The Bewilderingness of David Vaughn Jr
February 08, 2022 02:21 - 2 hours - 144 MBThis week, we follow a multigenerational story of disaster. A 1970s basketball player, who did things like walk around, in the middle of the street, wearing ONLY a t-shirt, and taking cops on a 7 mile long chase, ending in craziness & gunplay. He then passes on the family legacy to his self named son, who plays with Shaq & Michael Jordan, before descending into arrests & homelessness, and trying to start a one man moving company. There is enough craziness for many generations in thi...
#289 - I'm Always Innocent - The Cinematicness of Vinny "The Pazmanian Devil" Pazienza
February 01, 2022 02:03 - 2 hours - 161 MBThis week, we dip back into the brain damage sports with a man, who is nothing, if not entertaining. He's a boxer with flash & power, but the story isn't all happy. He made his way back, from a broken neck, all the way to ring, to box for another 10 years. He was a champion, a lunatic, and great quote. He lost his money, several times, but got arrested, even more. Drunk driving, fighting cops, fighting women in bars, fighting women at home, bad checks at casinos, rushing into someon...
#288 - A Search For Sympathy - The Affrontedness of Julio Lugo
January 25, 2022 01:47 - 2 hours - 145 MBThis week, we take a look at a man who was accused of something pretty terrible, but he continued with his baseball career, like it never happened, even going on to be a World Series champion. But that dark thing was always hanging over his head, especially since his excuse was self serving, at best, a complete insult to everybody's intelligence, at worst. And it's not the end, as his other accused crime may even be scarier than the first, this time involving kidnapping & gunplay! T...
#287 - Soaked In Gasoline, Holding A Match - The Blatantness of Garry Sullivan
January 18, 2022 01:12 - 2 hours - 139 MBThis week, we find ourselves knee deep in some seriously serious crime. He was an Australian rugby player, with a need for gambling, and a penchant for high stakes robberies. He, and an unlikely accomplice become 2 of the country's top 10 most wanted men, after a years long campaign of armed robbery. Banks & armored vehicles were their thing, incapacitating guards, and getting away with millions of dollars. But it's not all fun & games, considering he wrapped a man's neck with a cha...
#286 - Someone Is Going To Die - The Decliningness of Larry Johnson
January 11, 2022 01:18 - 3 hours - 168 MBThis week, we venture into the "brain damage" sports to bring you a cautionary tale. It's cautionary because you wouldn't want to end up like him, or even near him. He has been arrested, multiple times, for attacking women, once for using a broken vodka bottle as a weapon, and plenty of other craziness. Speaking of crazy, he loves nothing more than shouting crazy conspiracy theories, from the darkest corners of the internet! He's a mess, and seems to be getting worse, by the day! Wh...
#285 - A Royal Mess - The Regalness of Jerry "The King" Lawler
January 04, 2022 02:41 - 3 hours - 181 MBThis week, we check out a legend, in his sport! He's been a fixture of the wrestling business for 50 years. He's well known, and a bit infamous, as well, for things that aren't exactly right. He has never had a drink of alcohol, or coffee, but has been indicted for sodomy of an underage girl. So, he's a bit of an enigma. He also was the owner & anchor of a wrestling territory, for decades, one of the main voices of the WWE, and an enthusiastic touch football player, twice a mayoral ...
#284 - Tuff Juice & Mountain Dew - The Vindicatedness of Caron Butler
December 28, 2021 01:17 - 2 hours - 152 MBThis week, we track a story that has been a long time, in the making, and has aq little bit different ending than we're used to. From extremely humble beginnings, he was selling both newspapers, and cocaine by age 11. He ran the streets, sold drugs, carried a gun, and was arrested more than 10 times, even being sent to prison at 15! Somehow, through all of that, he made a successful, and very lucrative NBA career happen. This is is wild tale, and we can't believe how it ends! Se...
#283 - Please Hate Me - The Hateableness of Marcelo "El Chino" Rios
December 14, 2021 02:11 - 2 hours - 152 MBThis week, we wade in to the story of a tennis player, that was hated by just about everyone he ever spoke to. He picked up the sport, later than most kids, with a natural talent that made him not have to plan his attacks like most players. He was also a HUGE jerk. Refusing autographs for kids, abusing the media, other players, line judges, legal judges, people in bars, his wife, and even his coaches. He seemed to relish being hated, but this had consequences on his life, his career...
#282 - Thy Brother's Robber - The Unsuspectingness of Michael Carbajal
December 07, 2021 01:00 - 2 hours - 157 MBThis week, we look at a hero of his neighborhood, who wouldn't even move away after he was making millions of dollars, an Olympic medal, and worldwide fame. From a tough place, he wanted to be a champion, from an early age, and he achieved it, along with his brother, who trained him. A dream come true... Until the bottom fell out. Some legal issues began to take the shine off of this hero, but that's nothing compared to what his brother did to him. This story has it all, a rags to r...
#281 - He's Fine... Maybe Not - The Abjectness of Quincy Carter
November 30, 2021 01:32 - 2 hours - 146 MBThis week, we check out a guy who always had all the potential, but the only potential that he fulfilled was his prolific arrest record. A sought after, two sports star, he was the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, but it all went away. Next thing you knew, he was in an off brand football league, and choking women, while punching them. His problems seem to be with alcohol, drugs, and even fear of success. Either way, he made a real mess of it all, and the only question is...
#280 - A Bad Samaritan - The Dopiness of Jon "Bones" Jones
November 23, 2021 06:38 - 2 hours - 159 MBThis week, we look into a man who rose like a rocket, to international success & fame, while punching & choking people into submission. Unfortunately, not all of these incidents took place inside the octagon. He isn't a very responsible driver, seems to love the strip club, enough to have several incidents at those establishments. Every time he gets another chance to be the star of UFC, he seems to blow it. No one is safe, especially pregnant drivers! A complete mess, that just didn...
#279 - The Next Big Nothing - The Loathsomeness of Steve "Gatorwolf" Ketcher
November 09, 2021 02:07 - 2 hours - 145 MBThis week, we can only hope that brain damage contributed to the this man's crime, because if it didn't, he's just one of the most reprehensible human beings that we can think of. He wasn't exactly a wrestling superstar, spending most of his career as a "jobber", who lost on a nightly basis to make others look good. Outside the ring, he was violent, mean, and was called "the description of a stalker & abuser", and that wasn't even his REALLY bad crime. He's not a good guy, but he su...
#278 - Cocaine Is My Only Friend - The Loneliness of Rod Scurry
November 02, 2021 01:06 - 2 hours - 157 MBThis week, we head back to the cocaine hazed 1980s, to talk about a guy who could have been the next Sandy Koufax, but his extra curricular activities ruined it all. He was a quiet kid, with major league dreams, but the loneliness of being on the road led him down a path of booze, cocaine, and invisible snakes. He had a few chances, but just couldn't get it together, in his career, or personal life. Things all come to a head on one crazy evening, just before Halloween, when his own ...
#277 - Trick AND Treat!! - The Decentness of Lorenzen Wright
October 26, 2021 01:08 - 2 hours - 164 MBThis week, we do things a little bit differently, and discuss a man who actually did most things right. He wasn't arrested, every 5 minutes, or considered an awful person. This episode is about what happened to this athlete. Marriage trouble & money problems are there, but is that what caused his demise? The last he is heard from is on a 911 call, full of audible gunshots. It's a true whodunnit, until an unlikely source breaks the whole thing wide open, and reveals a disturbing & br...
#276 - Microchips In My Ears - The Copiousness of Israel "Izzy" Lang
October 19, 2021 00:50 - 2 hours - 156 MBThis week, we found a gem of a story, about a guy who seemed to be on his way to a long life, as a respected NFL player & cultural icon. But it all went terribly wrong. Divorce, business failure, and possible brain damage sends him down a road of constant arrest. He was called "the consulate con man", as he terrorized NFL players by impersonating them, and stealing from their bank accounts. This in in addition to tirelessly trying to find his wife's murderer, and trying to out run t...
#275 - Eating Your Children & Ears - "Iron" Mike Tyson - Part 3
October 12, 2021 01:19 - 3 hours - 177 MBThis week, we finish off the saga of Mike Tyson, with an action packed episode, covering his "Baddest Man On The Planet" years. The whole thing is full of rage, and terrible impulse control! He grabs women, he kicks men, he punches everyone. But you're lucky to just be punched, because some weren't so lucky, with Evander Holyfield coming away with a little less of his ear, in the process. Lawsuits, accidents, arrests, cocaine... Let's just say that Mike didn't slow down, too much, a...
#274 - Serial Buttocks Fondler - "Iron" Mike Tyson - Part 2
October 05, 2021 00:32 - 3 hours - 167 MBThis week, we get into the middle years of Mike Tyson's career, when it all starts to fall apart. He suffers his first loss, while fending off a slew of lawsuits, paternity cases, and criminal charges. This all culminates in a trial for the rape of an 18 year old Miss Black America contestant, and his subsequent prison stay, which includes visits from Shaq, Hammer, Whitney Houston, and several other early 90s luminaries. Once out on parole, he tried to restart his career, but is the...
#273 - I'll Fight Your Father!! - "Iron" Mike Tyson - Part 1
September 28, 2021 01:16 - 3 hours - 170 MBThis week, we talk about the early years, rise to prominence, and beginning of the downfall of a man who was known all throughout the world for his incredible boxing ability, and tabloid life, outside of the ring. We look into the lurid details of a young, famous, and turbulent marriage, as well as his relationship with Don King. Find out what could turn a young man, into the most vicious fighter in boxing history! Give away a $183,000 Bentley because "it's bad luck", become the...
#272 - Battered Bloody Brutality - The Temperamentalness of "Torpedo" Tony Demers
September 21, 2021 00:22 - 2 hours - 143 MBThis week, we look at the story of a man, who did everything he could do to drink, and party his way out of the sport of hockey, but his talent kept him always employed. He had so much going on, that it's hard to describe his crazy life, but let's just say that his career finally ended when he carried a bloody, beaten, unconscious & nude woman into a hospital, with quite an unbelievable story to go with it! An old timey story, that will leave you wanted to leave "the good old days" ...
#271 - The Human Fireball - The Eruptiveness of Jos "The Boss" Verstappen
September 14, 2021 00:31 - 2 hours - 129 MBThis week, we speed into disaster, with a man who lived a wild, and crazy life. Racing cars, and punching anyone within reach. He never quite achieved the accolades he wished for, on the track, so he devoted his life to his passions, teaching his son to race, and getting arrested. Fractured skulls, bruised girlfriends, threatened ex-wives, and an absolutely enormous fire ball later... At least his son is successful. This is a crazy story, of just too much speed! Smash the back o...
#270 - Huge Ego, Small Calves - The Stuffness of Marcus "Buff" Bagwell
September 07, 2021 01:00 - 2 hours - 158 MBThis week, we look at a man who was on television, just about every week, for about a decade, which went right to his head. The problem is, it was gone, all at once. This caused him to spiral into an absolutely insane life, filled with drugs, arrests, more drugs, epic car crashes, and his very own profile, on a top Gigilo website, where he can be rented various increments of time, and very high prices. Oh, and more drugs, arrests, and even more car crashes! A wild one, from start t...
#269 - Earth Wind & Fryar - The Diversifiedness of Irving Fryar
August 31, 2021 01:50 - 2 hours - 158 MBThis week, we check out a man who has had about the craziest life you can think of. Coming from nothing, all the way to a long & lucrative NFL career, but with some insane stumbles. The list is a long one, including cocaine, alleged game fixing, fights at bars, knife fights with his pregnant wife, hollow point bullets, stab wounds, shotguns, trees that refuse to get out the way of his Mercedes, and white collar crime... with his mom. And that's not even all of it. A truly wild ride...
#268 - Pretending To Be A Murderer - The Almostness of Charles Shackleford
August 24, 2021 01:09 - 2 hours - 154 MBThis week, we take a look at a man who was so close to being what he wanted to be, but couldn't quite get there. In & out of the NBA, until no one would sign him anymore. He then embarked on a second career, consisting of being in the wrong place, at the the exact wrong time. He was forced to testify in the Rae Carruth murder trial, he pretended to be Jayson Williams, and just about every self destructive thing he could seemingly think of! Deny shaving points to benefit gamblers...
#267 - The Devil Incarnate - The Villainousness of Andrew Wadsworth
August 10, 2021 00:37 - 2 hours - 143 MBThis week, we explore a man with an infamous past, who makes quite the terrible name for himself. A short MMA career gives way to a long crime career. His mix of mental illness, drug addiction, and brain damage all add up to make him a danger to all around him. He beat people with a hammer, and worse. His final crime is indescribably heartless, and one of the worst things we've ever had to talk about on CIS! Be the son of "The Royal Reaper", have a short, mediocre MMA career, then...
#266 - Running From The Truth - The Amoralness of Rosie Ruiz
August 03, 2021 01:53 - 2 hours - 150 MBThis week, we explore the life of a woman, who had a whole persona, built on lies. She won the Boston Marathon... but did she really? Is she a sick person, who can't help but lie, or a persecuted person, who never had her true accomplishments recognized? Either way, a life of crime is the result, including some fraud, and participation in an "all woman cocaine ring". After disappearing from the public eye, does she ever resurface? Come out of nowhere to win a marathon, be a part of...
#265 - I'm Matt F#$*&$% Bush!! - The Fruitlessness of Matt Bush
July 27, 2021 01:43 - 2 hours - 155 MBThis week, we explore the tale of someone who had greatness written all over him. He was a number one overall baseball draft pick, but it all fell apart from there. Arrogance, ignorance, and a complete lack of empathy for others leads him down a terrible path, that leaves people hurt, and an elderly man, nearly dead. He was given chance, after chance, but will he ever get it together, and actually make the major league, or will he end up back in prison, instead?? It's Matt Bush!! ...
#264 - Charming The Cobra - The Shroudedness of Kabary "The Egyptian Magician" Salem
July 20, 2021 01:20 - 2 hours - 147 MBThis week, we check out one of the strangest stories that we've ever done. It is impossible to describe exactly how unexpected of a turn that it takes. A man who is a 2 time Olympic boxer, and also a pro boxer, with a very respectable record. He was also known as one if the dirtiest fighters to ever lace up the gloves, and this was brought to the forefront when an opponent ended up dead. But that's not the only person who ended up dead, around him! ! Save your brother from a magic ...
#263 - Busted, Prison, Rinse, Repeat - The Unremittingness of Charles Zwolsman Sr
July 13, 2021 00:55 - 2 hours - 128 MBThis week, we try to catch up with a man who built his whole life on speed. Fast cars. Fast money. And repeatedly getting caught for what he did. He financed a racing team on drug profits, after failing in the flower industry. Like most professional athletes, right? It's very unique story, and there is always more crazy, just around the next turn! Have your flower importing business go bankrupt, turn that business into importing drugs, then try to make it all okay by spending y...
#262 - Welcome To Death Row - The Burgeoningness of Marion "Suge" Knight
July 06, 2021 00:25 - 2 hours - 162 MBThis week, we try to scratch beneath the surface of a man who has had untold success. Not in sports, but in the entertainment industry, after a brief stint in the NFL. Founder of Death Row Records, and perpetrator of more crimes than we can even talk about. And those are just the things he's actually been convicted on, not to mention, drugs, guns, Tupac, Biggie... He's larger than life, and we can't stop marveling at what a crazy life it is!! Have an NFL dream, turn that dream ...

#261 - Nobody Likes A Cody - The Insipidness of Cody Ledbetter
June 22, 2021 01:07 - 2 hours - 153 MBThis week, we check out an under the radar story, of a not so successful athlete, who turned out to be a terrible person. He achieved great success in college, but pro success eluded him. No problem, he decided to coach, but that's all thrown of the rails by him, committing a most awful crime, getting a break from the law, then making it even worse. All of this, with a hugely shocking ending... Quite the mess! Have a pickup truck full of cheerleaders, set an NCAA record, then be...

June 15, 2021 02:03 - 2 hours - 146 MBThis week, we look at a man who could have been one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Number 1 overall draft pick & every accolade that exists. He was even Michael Jordan's idol. So, how did this sure thing turn so wrong? Cocaine. Cocaine. Oh, and cocaine. His career was even ended at Studio 54, of all places. A tragic story, that everyone should know about. A wild, unexpected tale! Win a national championship, float through the air like you're weightless, and thro...

June 08, 2021 02:24 - 2 hours - 151 MBThis week, we c heck out a man with possibly double the brain damage, as he was both a football player & a pro wrestler. His attitude made his football career less of an option, but he was perfect for wrestling. The only problem is that he can't seem to stay out of police custody. His charges are long & varied, but he couldn't stop doing one particular crime... bank robbery. A crazy guy & a crazy episode! Gain 70 pounds of muscle in a year and a half, be a mediocre wrestler, and...
#258 - Stabbed & Left For Drunk - The Disquietingness of Warren Wells
June 01, 2021 01:36 - 2 hours - 153 MBThis week, we tell a tale of potential, talent & repeated stupidity. He fought through coming from nowhere, and being drafted into the Army, after his rookie season, only to make a rocket like rise to superstardom, then comes crashing down, faster than a shooting star.
