#311 - Orgasm & Obsession - The Compellingness of Adonis "Superman" Stevenson Jul 05, 2022

Show notes

This week, we tell the odd story of a man, who came to another country, as a small child, grew up in foster care, and ran the streets, putting himself in all kinds of dangerous situations. Luckily, he ended up a champion boxer, with an exciting, crowd pleasing style, and a growing fan base. So... What's the problem, right? Well, there was a whole lot about his past, that people weren't aware of. Like doing time in prison, for absolutely horrific, and downright disgusting crimes! Once it all comes out, no one looks at him the same, despite his winning ways. Finally, his career is ended by a series of punches that puts him in a coma, and makes his survival anything but assured!

Keep your terrible criminal history under wraps, be the boxer that everyone wants to see, and be punched into a coma with Adonis "Superman" Stevenson!!

#310 - Storm Clouds Gathering - The Abominableness of Chris "The Canadian Crippler" Benoit Jun 28, 2022

Show notes

This week, we explore the story of a man, who overcame his lack of looks, size & charisma to become one of the biggest wrestling stars, in the world, winning both WCW & WWE heavyweight titles. He had fame, money & a nice family, but there was something brewing inside of him that would lead to him committing the most horrid & depraved act imaginable, by wiping out his family, them himself, over the course of a strange macabre weekend. But why? Brain damage? Roid rage? He just snapped? We explore everything around this horrible tragedy, but are left with more questions than answers!

Make it big, even though your whole industry doesn't want you, steal your boss' wife, then commit one of the most horrendous crimes, that could possibly occur with Chris "The Canadian Crippler" Benoit!!

#309 - Nobody Gonna Break My Stride - The Uniqueness of Daniel Barrera Jun 22, 2022

Show notes

This week, we tell a story that starts differently from most of our episodes. Instead of being a renowned athlete, from an early age, he was a decent high school athlete, then joined the military, as a firefighter, where he did tours in Iraq. He also began fighting. His skills were just right for the burgeoning business of MMA, and he landed a spot on UFC's "The Ultimate Fighter", where his strangeness first came to light. In the years to come, his behavior became more bizarre, with odd attacks, strange & violent attacks, and some of the weirdest antics, ever seen in a courtroom!

Have war & fires not be quite dangerous enough for you, be the strangest guy on a reality show, and believe that you don't need medication, despite all the evidence to the contrary with Daniel Barrera!!

#308 - Beanie Babies & Booze - The Smugness of Jim Leyritz Jun 14, 2022

Show notes

This week, we explore the life of an unlikely World Series hero, who took all that good will, and flushed it directly down the toilet. A love of booze & amphetamines led to a tough transition to a life, after baseball. He never quite adjusted. A very public divorce & stalking arrest tarnished his image, but that pales in comparison to the time that he killed that lady, with his car, after hanging out with Playboy models! It's a real roller coaster of a story, from underdog, that you root for, to arrogant jerk, at whom you shake your head!

Break your foot, right before the MLB draft, come from obscurity to become a World Series hero, and ruin all the admiration for you,. with several acts of stupidity with Jim Leyritz!!

#307 - I Am Not Under Arrest - The Fieriness of "Mean" Gene Atkins Jun 07, 2022

Show notes

This week, we check into a man, who worked his way onto an NFL roster, almost exclusively on the back of his ability to use his body, with reckless abandon, to take down, and preferably hurt, opposing players. Some cracks began to appear, while still playing. He attacked a reporter, and fought with coaches & teammates. But once he retired, the full impact that his physical style began to show, on his brain. A charge of twice firebombing a business associate & long time friend. He had an epic, and disturbing showdown with police, who wanted him top stop choking & hitting his wife, with a remote control. But they didn't much better luck, with the whole thing escalating from violence to a showdown! All of this, and the NFL thinks his brain is fine!!

Make it to the top of your profession on pure grit & violence, deny firebombing your friend's family home, and try your best to remember the months of the year with "Mean" Gene Atkins!!

#306 - Defying Logic, But Not Gravity - The Insensibleness of Zach Randolph May 31, 2022

Show notes

This week, we look into the life of a man, was in trouble since middle school, and kept a steady pace of police interaction, through pretty much his whole life, so far. He came from bad circumstances, being called "crusty" as a kid, but used basketball to overcome that situation, making himself an extremely wealthy man, in the process. All of that, and he never left his friends behind. Which sounds nice, unless your friends continue to beat, shoot, attack, street race, and be accused of even worse. He never quite understands that each arrest made it a little harder to believe that he was trying to change!

Get tired of your husky pants, with snaps for a button, work hard to make something of yourself, and make everyone think you're not only a moron, but a bad guy with Zach Randolph!!

#305 - Rocky Is Real - The Bloodiness of Chuck "The Bayonne Bleeder" Wepner May 24, 2022

Show notes

This week, we check out the life of the man who inspired Sylvester Stallone to write the Rocky character. He came from the streets, liking a barroom brawl even more than a fight in the ring. In boxing, he was known mainly for two things, being the bloodiest fighter, maybe in boxing history, and getting a shot, out of nowhere, to fight Muhammad Ali, for the heavyweight championship of the world! Just like Rocky! He spends the rest of his life selling liquor, legally, and for a little while, selling cocaine, illegally. A federal investigation brings an end to that, but years later, he's in hot water, again, this time for being involved with memorabilia counterfeiting!! The crazy never stops with this guy!

Be tapped, out of the blue, to fight for the heavyweight title, become the inspiration for the Rocky franchise, and love to fight, any time, any place with Chuck "The Bayonne Bleeder" Wepner!!

#304 - The Drunken Eagle - The Impulsiveness of Ed Belfour May 17, 2022

Show notes

This week, we head under the mask, with a hockey goalie, who is a perfectionist, a hall of famer, and a huge drunk, who causes problems at hotels, and seems very willing to fight police officers. He was a hero, wherever he played, and that seems to be part of the problem, because even judges would tell him what a hero he was, while they were sentencing him. He persevered, though. And his latest arrest was caught on video, and it's as embarrassing as it gets! All of this, while owning a company that makes whiskey! What a mess!

Work your way into being a hall of famer, sharpen your own skates, and get into "a fighting stance", if any authorities tell you to leave!!

#303 - If Michael Jordan Was Crazy... - The Transcendentness of Diego Maradona May 10, 2022

Show notes

This 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 of mistakes is just as impressive!!

Come from nowhere to be the greatest soccer player that exists, be rich & famous beyond dreams, as a teenager, and throw it all away, with no concern for health, or legacy with Diego Maradona!!
