This week, we begin a special series about one of the most iconic, famous & absolutely insane people that we've ever talked about! We discuss his origin, where a few severe blows to the head may have helped contribute to his daredevil ways. His young life is filled with crime. From petty thievery, burglary, frauds, schemes, and outright extortion, to all the way to winning his wife, by kidnapping her. He also figures out that you have to be outrageous, to draw a crowd, or even to sell insurance.

Grow up in a rough & tumble mining town, become a criminal mastermind by the time you're a teenager, and get your wife to marry you by dragging her by the hair, from her family home with Evel Knievel - Part 1!!

This week, we finish up this terrible tale, with Tom fighting to get out of prison, all while even more unspeakable charges are leveled against him. His legal team call it a "giant conspiracy", that may even involve the Atlanta Hawks! He is eventually released from prison, tries to become a boxer & does some bit acting parts. Then, he does it, again. And this time, he's caught in the act, by 2 police officers. Will he ever be "good, now"?? It's Tom Payne - Part 2!!

Be sued by a cellmate for an unprovoked attack, cal the whole legal & basketball system "a giant conspiracy" against you, and be caught, in the act of doing the exact thing you've always denied with Tom Payne!!

This week, we dive back into the "brain damage sports" with a man who played both pro football, and had a decent career as a wrestler. He's a giant Minnesota guy, who grew up with many of the famous wrestlers of the 80s & 90s, but never quite broke through to the main event level. Where he is a main event talent, is in getting arrested. He has been arrested over 15 times for basically the same thing! Keep this man away from all car keys! He's certainly a menace, but a very entertaining menace, who has done enough crazy stuff for 3 normal lifetimes!!

Be a giant man in Minnesota, follow in the mold of Bruiser Brody, and never drive, if you're sober enough to see the road with John "The Berzerker" Nord!!

This week, we go back in time to look at the life of a major league baseball player. His career ended in the 1920s, so he switched his profession to drinking, and trying to get a younger woman to like him, regardless of the fact that he's married. Not surprisingly, this ends badly, when he tracks his young lady friend to a hotel, where a ukulele playing suitor serenades the object of Sam's affection. Gunshots, ukulele beatings, and a gauntlet of good samaritans make this wild scene even more interesting! A very wild ride!!

Play baseball before The Dodgers were even The Dodgers, drink yourself into looking 30 years older than you are, and always answer any perceived slight with gunfire with "Lucky" Sam Crane!!

This week, we check out the happenings of one of the most vilified athletes of the 21st century. He went from an incredible level of college glory, to doing just about nothing right, in the NFL. He drank, he did drugs, he didn't study films... and of course he got arrested. Quite a bit. The type of arrests that result in shirtless, smirking mugshots, that could drive anyone insane! In the end, he was done with football by his late 20s, and had solidified his reputation as one of the worst decisions that a pro franchise ever made, and a general menace to society!!

Come from oil money, that allows you to grow up at a country club, set all sorts of amazing college football records, then throw it away by making every mistake that is humanly possible with Johnny Manziel!!

This week, we look into the life of a man who won an Olympic medal, before sneaking into the US, from Cuba, on a cargo ship. Within a few years, he committed one of the strangest crimes, in the history of Florida, which is saying something. He ends up having a half decent MMA career, at an older age, but then gets himself involved in one of the most callous, and brutal murders that is possible to commit. What starts out as a nice story, quickly turns to a very scary one!!

Float to the US amongst some cargo, on a ship, start your MMA career, after you seem to already have brain damage, and set up of a kidnapping/torture/murder, while training for your next fight with Alexis "The Exorcist" Vila!!

This week, we check out the life of a man who had plenty of good things happen to him, due strictly to the fact that he is 7 feet tall. He squandered his opportunities, while smiling his way out of a job, and eventually, his freedom. He was called "the worst driver of any Detroit athlete" by a newspaper, and that was only the start. He ends up being very familiar with prison, due to his constant drug use, and apparent intent to distribute cocaine! Did he ever turn it around, or is he still wandering through life, just hitting his head on things??

Be the worst driver in Detroit, threaten to fight a cop, while you have a car full of weed, and be careful not to get "back stabbed" with William Bedford!!

This week, we delve into something completely different, by discussing a Dutch beach volleyball player, who is accomplishing a very infamous feat, by getting an episode of this show, before his 30th birthday. Based on that, you know he did something horrible, and you're right. He absolutely did. He has everything a person could want, but that's not enough for him, as he also has to insist on being one of the worst people that you can be! Does this take his career away? Not at all. Partners will still play with him, and tournaments will allow him to compete. Like it never happened!

Be from a place that's famous for eating the livers of a couple of prominent citizens, be 6'6" and able to spike a volleyball, and make everybody sick, not only with your actions, but your reactions to your actions with Steven Van de Velde!!

This week, we look at a man who was can best described as equal parts violence, and desire. He fought his way to the NFL, and all the way to being a Super Bowl trivia answer & a member of the "Legion of Boom", but along the way, everything seemed to fall apart. It started with a drug charge, but ends up with an increasingly dangerous & violent streak, directed mainly toward his ex girlfriend, and her family. He takes it to a serious extreme, causing himself to face a possibility of life in prison! A wild ride of a story, and a crazy "where are they, now?"!!

Fight your way from Canada to the NFL, be one of only 7 people on earth to do a particular thing, and break into your ex's house, through a window, and cause mass havoc!!
