#261 - Nobody Likes A Cody - The Insipidness of Cody Ledbetter Jun 22, 2021

Show notes

This 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 a pariah from society while running from the law for your crimes with Cody Ledbetter!

#260 - Michael Jordan's Idol - The Unrealizedness of David "Skywalker" Thompson Jun 15, 2021

Show notes

This 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 throw it all in the garbage because of sweet, sweet cocaine with David "Skywalker" Thompson!!

#259 - Steroids, G-Strings & Federal Crime - The Swaggeringness of Jeff Gaylord Jun 08, 2021

Show notes

This 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 find your true career, bank robbery with Jeff Gaylord!!

#258 - Stabbed & Left For Drunk - The Disquietingness of Warren Wells Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

This 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. He continues to make mistake after mistake, leaving ex-teammates, family & spouses wondering why he can't get it together. He's a mess, but there is some serious crazy to this tale!

Be drafted into the Army, after your rookie season, drink so much that Raiders football players even think you have a problem, and never learn your lesson with Warren Wells!!

#257 - Smokin' & Cursin' & Drinkin' & Murderin' - The Unforgivableness of Willie "The Cannon" Shannon May 25, 2021

Show notes

This week, we tell a story of perseverance. Sort of. A young man is sent to prison at 15, but turns his life around, after finding boxing. It's downright inspirational... until the guy starts committing untold horrors upon the unsuspecting population. He is sent back to prison for what we think is the worst thing he could've done, until DNA solves a cold case, and we find out what REALLY is the worst thing he could have done!

Be sent to adult prison at 15, fight your way up the boxing ranks, and then be the monster that keeps people up at night with Willie "The Cannon" Shannon!!

#256 - Fill My Hat With Crack - The Jauntiness of Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd May 18, 2021

Show notes

This week, we tell a story that more people really should know about. He came from segregated Mississippi, all the way to the World Series, but the high of success could never match his love for a different high... Crack! He smoked crack at home. In the car. At the ballpark! Anywhere. He's such a character, that you can't help but root for him, only to mess it up with more crack!

Work hard from a young age, smoke crack at work, then sue a baseball team for not inviting you to Spring Training with Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd!!

#255 - Violence, Cocaine & Shotguns - The of Quarrelsomeness of Tyler "The Beast" East May 04, 2021

Show notes

This week, we explore a story that was seemingly very predictable. This is the first episode ever, where we cover the sibling of a CIS alum. He was aggressive, and very violent, which made him a pretty decent MMA fighter, but a terrible fit for any other situation. His constant bouts of violence, fueled by anger, and cocaine left people in fear, right up until the end of the story, which is possibly the craziest ending of any of our stories!

Be a three time state wrestling champion, follow in your older brother's footsteps in both crime & career, and end your story like a western movie with Tyler "The Beast" East!!
