Episodes
  • The Gangster Golfer - Ryan Peake
    Mar 31 2026

    This week, we discuss an Aussie golfer, who had a very strange path to both golf, and crime. He grew up as a natural talent, but lacked some of the work ethic needed to become a star as a pro. So, he joined a criminally prominent biker gang, put the golf clubs aside. This continues until a very violent incident lands him in a terribly kept prison. Somehow, he turns it all around, and tries to continue in his golf journey. Will he stay out of trouble, and live up to his potential???

    Have a naturally powerful left handed golf swing, hang out the local biker gang, until you become a full fledged member, then try to be the probably the only pro golfer with gang tats with Ryan Peake!!

    Check us out, every Tuesday!

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

  • A Most Diabolical Murder Plot - Felix "El Diamante" Verdejo
    Mar 24 2026

    This week, we talk about a boxer, who seemed to have unlimited potential. He was supposed to be the savior of his weight class & he wanted to bring his people together. Unfortunately for him, he did bring his people together, but they came together with hatred for him, after he is convicted of one of the most gutless, and horrific murders that a person could imagine. The sheer brutality of it, and the innocence of the victim make him eligible for the death penalty!

    Become the guy who is supposed to be the next big champion at your weight, stupidly ride your motorcycle in a dangerous way, and almost kill yourself, and commit a murder so horrible that even the other prisoners want a piece of you with Felix "El Diamante" Verdejo!!

  • Drink Away The Debt - Adrian Peterson - Part 3
    Mar 17 2026

    This week, we finish up with Adrian, as he is starting to get a little bit too old to be an effective running back, but he's just the right age to go into massive amounts of debt, and get arrested, about once a year. He drives poorly while drinking, causes a delay on an LA to Houston flight, after he has to be removed from the plane, and is charged with domestic violence. He also still claims to hit his kids with a belt, and is in so much debt, that interest alone is thousands of dollars, every day! Will he get it together, or is this his future???

    Pile 4 more people into your car, after you've been drinking, open up a gym, when you're millions of dollars in debt, and make sure that everyone knows that you still hit your kids with Adrian Peterson - Part 3!!

I'm not a fan of sports, but how they take you through the episodes is engaging and funny!
Cannot recommend enough.

Excellent research, funny hosts, insane sportspeople who don't seem to think the law applies to them. Highly entertaining.

Entertaining even for non-sports-lovers

Hilariously funny, brilliantly researched, incredibly informative, and just fantastic. Sit back, listen to these comedians skip merrily through the daffodils of a sports personality's life, and try not to laugh too hard as said personality self-destructs in spectacular fashion right at the peak of their success.
Interest in sports absolutely not required, in fact it's just as funny if you are completely uninterested in sports. Almost as though it's about watching someone climb the heights of success only to throw themselves off, and not about the sports at all.

Thought I’d listen to this to learn about US sports, haven’t learnt a thing but I’ve listened to every episode!

The best way to learn nothing about sport!

Yay!
