  • #422 - Blood Out Of A Turnip - "Hurricane" Rubin Carter - Part 3
    Aug 20 2024

    This week, we catch up with Rubin, as a convicted murderer. The original witnesses are now recanting their stories of seeing Rubin at the murder scene. Meanwhile, Bob Dylan has written a popular song about him, and Muhammed Ali has taken up his cause. This leads to the charges being set aside, and a retrial. Problem is, while out on bail, he's also accused of beating a woman half to death! Will he stay out of prison??


    Have Bob Dylan write a song, turning you into a folk hero, get out of jail, due to a large force of celebrities on your side, and be retried for the same murders, hoping for a different result with "Hurricane" Rubin Carter - Part 3!!

  • #421 - Dead Men Don't Smoke - "Hurricane" Rubin Carter - Part 2
    Aug 13 2024

    This week, we start with Rubin's career going downhill, fast. Fighting three times in one month. From there, it gets worse. After a night out at a local night spot, he is accused of going into a bar, with an accomplice, and murdering 3 people, in cold blood, while making one very unlucky man's life even worse. There is very little evidence, and Rubin passed a polygraph, but never the less, we end this episode with Rubin sent to prison for consecutive life terms. Will the truth ever come out??


    Have everybody comment of your facial hair, be accused of triple murder, even though one of the surviving victims said it wasn't you, and begin serving your prison time, while reading law books in your cell with "Hurricane" Rubin Carter - Part 2!!

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.

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.
