  • #457 - Down To His Last Yacht - Evel Knievel - Part 9

    #457 - Down To His Last Yacht - Evel Knievel - Part 9
    Apr 15 2025

    This week, Evel is in hot water, after beating a Fox executive with a baseball bat. He is sentenced to jail, but like Evel always does, he figures out a way to make it a spectacle, and a show. How does he do that? By renting limos for all the prisoners, and causing a major traffic jam, while angering everyone in the jail system. He also claims he's going to jump out of a plane, with no parachute, and that he's near broke, and "down to his last yacht"!!


    Check yourself into jail, get out out of jail on work furlough & spend your days, drinking, in Beverly Hills, and tell everyone that you're going to jump from 40,000 feet with no parachute with Evel Knievel - Part 9!!


    Check us out, every Tuesday!


    We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

    #456 - Don't Talk About My Mother - Evel Knievel - Part 8
    Apr 8 2025

    This week, Evel is again considering retirement, but not before he does a huge, primetime tv jump, that he hopes will allow him to make even more money. He needs that money, because he also gets really into yachts, and yacht decor. He stars in a movie about himself. He is also sued by just about everyone, and is arrested for a brutal baseball bat attack on movie executive, that dared mention the existence of Evel's mother, in a tell all book!!


    Start to tone down your jumps, because getting injured hurts your golf game, star in a movie, even though you can't act, and attempt to murder a man, in front of dozens of witnesses with Evel Knievel - Part 8!!

Back from the Brink

This podcast deserves all the love it can get. Take a journey as James and Jimmie follow the rise and fall of criminal athletes. Consider The Atomic Bull who was heavyweight champion of the world. He got robbed of a million dollar check from Don King while wandering the streets of St. Louis at 3 am looking for crack. (He was hiding the check in his sock for safe keeping). Later he will attack a Christmas tree in a hotel lobby and break down crying in the middle of a boxing match. The show has it all. Crazy stories, thrills of victories, agongies of defeats, exploitation by silver haired middle aged white men, and cocaine; oh so much cocaine.

James and Jimmie have an exceptional chemistry and find fun in the turns of these stories. If you're not listening yet, I don't know what's wrong with you.

These two are so funny. I laugh the whole time. I've learned so much useless information about athletes.

Even If You Don't Love Sports...

Totally worth the listen and interesting take on sports beyond just "they get paid too much" or "why can't they stop being so stupid." Lot more to athletes than I realized.

The real story of your childhood heroes

You may have loved the on field heroics, but wait till you learn of the off-field horrors. Great stories about athletes you thought you knew.
