#68 - Pumped For Murder - The Brutalness of Bertil Fox 16.05.2017

This week, we look at a man whose outer perfection masked an insecure, angry, and very dangerous inside that eventually earned him the harshest sentence in CIS history. He was a prodigy at his profession, but his brain didn't seem to grow with his body, leaving the circumstances perfectly set up for violence, and tragedy. This is a hilarious tale of strange people, doing strange, and ridiculous th...

#67 - A Penchant For Prison - The Thickheadedness of Patrick Cote 09.05.2017

This week, we head down the lunatic trail, and end up in a crazy place, with a man who could never get enough of two things... fighting, and prison. He destroyed his career with drugs & alcohol, but destroyed his life by doing everything a person could do to get back to jail. Drug trafficking, violent intimidation, and bank robbery, to name a few of his tactics. He is truly a mountain of wasted po...

#66 - The End Of The Crime Rainbow - The Feloniousness of Charles "Krazy Horse" Bennett 02.05.2017

This week, we take a deep look at a man who never backed away from a fight, in his life. Problem is, that includes women, both pregnant and not, other fighters... backstage, logic, reason, and federal & state drug distribution laws. A man so crazy, that he changed his nickname from "Krazy Horse" to "Felony" because he figured that everyone already knew he was crazy. A truly entertaining guy, in th...

#65 - The Death Of Black Superman - The Debaucherousness of Billy Ray Bates 25.04.2017

This week, we look at a man who always lives in the moment, and never learns from his mistakes. His drinking, drug use, and general shenanigans were legendary, even among the party crowd of the 1980s. He ruined his chances at fame & fortune, and even screwed up enough to be escorted from the Philippines. A beloved figure, on the court, due to his wild antics, and uncanny ability for producing exci...

#64 - Killers Are Sometimes Golden - The Deceptiveness of Keli Lane 18.04.2017

This week, we look at a woman who came from a prominent family, and had an extremely bright future ahead of her, if only she didn't end up with that pesky murder charge. From the outside, she looked like the perfect person, but that's only because no one knew that she was lying to everyone, about everything, including her family,police, judges, lawyers, boyfriends, medical personal, adoption agenc...

#63 - The Path Of A Dangerous Individual - The Erraticness of Trevor Berbick - w/ SPECIAL GUEST Dan Cummins 11.04.2017

This week, we take our special guest, the hilarious comedian, and host of the amazing "Timesuck" podcast, Dan Cummins with us, as we head down a long path of unravelling, that negatively impacts the lives of everyone this man came in contact with. Especially the women he attacked, the other women, he held at gunpoint, the men he held at knifepoint, and of course, his large brood of children, and f...

#62 - Hard Time For A Hard Man - The Inexplicableness of Peter Storey 04.04.2017

This week, we check out the tale of a man that seemed to make the wrong choice, at every turn, even if it defied all logic, or his own best interests. He went from being feared by all that he played against, to being feared for his erratic, and dangerous behavior. It's a fall from grace, that just keeps falling... and becoming more hilarious! Kick an injured man, crank up the fake gold machine, an...

#61 - Colder Than A Killer - The Tyrannicalness of "Hardbody" Harrison Norris 28.03.2017

This week, we are neck deep in a hole, filled with deception, violence, and more arrogance than we can dig our way out of. It's the story of a man that thought so highly of himself that he forced his will on countless people, using them to fill his pockets, and his ego. His business was to pretend to be violent in public, and actually be a monster in private. He's a dangerous man, and possibly one...

#60 - The Sudden Violence Of Bad Decisions - The Madness of Vernon Maxwell 21.03.2017

This week, we see what happens when a man lives by two rules: Never think before you act, and never, ever take any responsibility for your actions. Living by these simple rules helped him to break nearly every law he could probably think of, including drugs, assault, kidnapping, gunplay, never paying child support, and a slew of other infractions, both scary, and hilarious. A champion o the court,...

#59 - If OJ Simpson Had A Little Brother - The Explosiveness of Tommy Kane 14.03.2017

This week, we explore a tragic tale of a love story & life gone terribly wrong. He went from a being hero in his community, to becoming what can only be described as a monster. Like many others, he had trouble adjusting to life, out of the spotlight, but not all the others reacted with a life of madness, cocaine, and eventually murder. It's a roller coaster ride of sorrow, and despair. And jokes!!...

#58 - If He Could Kill The World... - The Terribleness of Viacheslav Datsik 07.03.2017

This week, we explore a new frontier of violence, delusion, and all around crazy. A man who was deemed too crazy even for Russian prison. He made a name for himself with his MMA antics, then made an even bigger splash with his robberies, violence, and racism. He has a lot of opinions, only some of which are relevant to the planet earth. From mental institution escapes, to brazen criminal behavior,...

#57 - Death Was His Co-Pilot - The Obliviousness of Salt Walther 28.02.2017

This week, take a peek into the world of a man with no limits to his desire for speed, drugs, and getting arrested.

From his near death on the race track, to his guest spot on The Dukes Of Hazzard, to one of his many run i...

#56 - The Naked, Knife Wielding Evangelist - The Ugliness of Otis Nixon 21.02.2017

This week, we delve into a story of constant criminal stupidity, followed by second chances, and even more criminal stupidity. He must have thought he could get away with anything, based on his behavior. Doing things like scamming people when they're at their lowest, sexual assault, naked knife wielding, and a whole lot of cocaine, to name a few. His tumultuous life goes from charity events, to co...

#55 - Demons In The Air Conditioning - The Regalness of Ike Ibeabuchi 14.02.2017

This week, we travel down the road of huge potential, squandered by stupidity, arrogance, and just plain crazy. A man who came to the United Stares from Nigeria, and achieved his dream of being a champion, then quickly drifted away into madness. He took his nickname of "The President" a little too seriously, along with being a menace to escorts, prostitutes, and basically any woman he could get hi...

#54 - A Genuine, Bona Fide Serial Killer - The Viciousness of Randall Woodfield 07.02.2017

This week, we check out a man who went from having all the potential in the world, to taking & destroying more lives than can be counted by authorities, and earning the nickname "The I-5 Killer". A kid from a good family, handsome, drafted by the NFL, and harboring a deep desire to kill. He committed some of the most henious acts possible, in the most calm & callous manner that can be imagined. It...

#53 - The Heart For Murder - The Gruesomeness of Jarrod Wyatt 31.01.2017

This week, we look at one of the craziest, most depraved, and bloodiest stories we've ever heard about. An up and coming MMA fighter begins to unravel, culminating in a brutal murder that is both insanely horrific, and just plain insane. See what happens when things go wrong during a mushroom trip, and a trained fighter, with a sick mind, mistakes you for the devil. It isn't pretty. But we do make...

#52 - Couldn't Read The Warning Signs - The Untruthfulness of Dexter Manley 24.01.2017

This week, we journey into a world of stupidity, lies, and most of all, cocaine. From being a champion, to ruining the lives of those around him, he ended up as low as a person could be. He let down family, friends, wives, team mates, fans, judges, and anyone else he may have come in contact with. This is truly a story about a person, never learning their lesson, as he goes from world famous, to i...

#51 - Murder Ruins A Garden Party - The Passionateness of Marc Cecillon 17.01.2017

This week, we look at a man who was a hero to his country, but devolved into a sad tale of alcohol, rage, depression, and finally violence.

This story is a crazy ride, that will leave you wondering just how some peopl...

#50 - You Can Kill With A Toaster - The Torturousness of James Waithe 10.01.2017

This week, we look at an enforcer for a vicious drug dealing crew, that used incredibly brutal, and creative techniques to get people to pay up. Possibly the coldest, most callous person that we've covered yet, he used his Olympic Judo skills, toasters, boiling water, and worse to get the message across. Let's just say that you don't want to owe him money. Another word of advice would be not to me...

#49 - The Killer Of Common Sense - The Disastrousness of Isaiah "JR" Rider 03.01.2017

This week, we take a peek at a man who started out, only hurting himself, before quickly moving on to the rest of the world. We crawl through the muck of a disastrous life, filled with heartbreak. And arrests. So many arrests. He ran afoul of a litany of laws, including violence, thievery, kidnapping on multiple occaisons, and a whopping helping of drugs. His acts were both dark, and hilarious, as...

#48 - The Grinch Who Stole Lives - The Evilness of Joe Son 27.12.2016

This week, we explore a tale of mild success, hilarious failure, and pure evil. A man who was one of the worst fighters in the history of UFC, but didn't let that stop him from having a memorable role in a blockbuster hit movie, and being one of the worst human beings we've ever come across. His crimes are absolutely hideous, and the first one took place on Christmas Eve, making anything the Grinc...

#47 - Cocaine Plus Brain Damage Equals Gunplay - The Stubbornness of Clifford Etienne 20.12.2016

This week, we present of story of promise, stupidity, redemption, and complete disaster. In that order.

#45 - Everything But A Killer - The Ceaselessness of Alvin Robertson 06.12.2016

This week, we take in a hearty helping of criminal activities, with a man who was has a lot of experience both on the court, and in the courtroom.
