    #446 - Coke Booger Boogie - Darrell Porter
    Feb 4 2025

    This week, we look at the life of a World Series MVP, who seemed to have a roller coaster of a career, from being a marginal player, to being one of the best catchers in the league, and back again. That may be because he was also doing every drug he could get his hands on, including his favorites, quaaludes & cocaine! He made a big show of being clean, for many years, only to find out that it all may have been a sad act!


    Be the best overall athlete in the state of Oklahoma, jump into the stands to punch a heckler, and make everyone think you're Mr Clean, while doing coke, and crashing your car with Darrell Porter!!


    Check us out, every Tuesday!


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

She tries to do movies, but ends up in many porn titles, while sliding into a hole of addiction/depression. She is arrested several times, including trying to stab Japanese police, after an apparent attempt to take her own life. Finally, her sad demise...


    Do porn with your ex boyfriend, have your manager send Dr Drew emergency messages, concerning your addictions, and get gang tackled by Japanese police, so they can disarm you with Joanie "Chyna" Laurer - Part 3!!

    #444 - Meth, Misery & Mini Me - Chyna AKA Joanie Laurer - Part 2
    Jan 21 2025

    This week, we continue the tale with Joanie, starting a life after wrestling. It's a bit bumpy, to say the least. She poses more for Playboy, tries her hand in multiple less than blockbuster films, and some tv shows, including "The Surreal Life", where she fights with Mini Me, dances drunk & naked, and fights with X-Pac. She's also arrested for a domestic issue, and has developed a nasty meth habit!


    Start your new life, away from the wrestling ring, get pummeled by Joey Buttafuoco on national television, and barricade yourself in the bathroom, so you can be left alone with your meth with Joanie "Chyna" Laurer!!


    Check us out, every Tuesday!

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.

I Fucking love these guys!

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

A fantastic show presented by hilarious comedians about different athletes rise to fame, then inevitable fall from grace. 6/5

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.
