    #451 - Human Christmas Toy - Evel Knievel - Part 4
    Mar 4 2025

    This week, Evel keeps getting crazier, with both his jumps, and his lifestyle. The movie about his life premiers, shooting him into superstar fame. His toy becomes the smash hit of Christmas. He carries trademark cane, sometimes made of heavy lead, and pummels photographers with it. He has no regard for anyone's well being, but he sure does spend a LOT of money! The bigger he gets, the bigger his lies get!!


    Call George Hamilton names, after he makes you famous, fill your hands with diamond rings "so your family will have security when you die", and pattern your showmanship after Liberace with Evel Knievel - Part 4!!

  • #450 - Gang Brawls, Tall Tales & Hollywood - Evel Knievel - Part 3

    #450 - Gang Brawls, Tall Tales & Hollywood - Evel Knievel - Part 3
    Feb 25 2025

    This week, we keep this crazy tale going, as Evel acquires a bit of fame, but is too injured from his numerous crashes to take advantage. He goes on a one man publicity blitz to promote his non existent jump over the Grand Canyon. He also cuts casts off of body parts in order to jump, gets in a bleacher clearing brawl with The Hell's Angels, and is approached by a major Hollywood actor, who wants to make his life into a movie!!


    Be so physically broken that you have to be helped on to your motorcycle, in order to jump things, attack a man by jumping off a moving motorcycle, and be played by George Hamilton in a movie with Evel Knievel - Part 3!!

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.

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.
