    #456 - Don't Talk About My Mother - Evel Knievel - Part 8
    Apr 8 2025

    This week, Evel is again considering retirement, but not before he does a huge, primetime tv jump, that he hopes will allow him to make even more money. He needs that money, because he also gets really into yachts, and yacht decor. He stars in a movie about himself. He is also sued by just about everyone, and is arrested for a brutal baseball bat attack on movie executive, that dared mention the existence of Evel's mother, in a tell all book!!


    Start to tone down your jumps, because getting injured hurts your golf game, star in a movie, even though you can't act, and attempt to murder a man, in front of dozens of witnesses with Evel Knievel - Part 8!!


    Check us out, every Tuesday!


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

    #454 - Anal For Evel - Evel Knievel - Part 7
    Mar 25 2025

    This week, Evel finally makes his long awaited flight across The Snake River Canyon... with mixed results. From his parachute opening too early, to the thousands of people who nearly plummeted to their deaths, just to get a good view. He also heads over to England, causing much commotion, and drawing 90,000 people at Wembley stadium. This leads to a 2 day retirement, followed by more insanity!!


    Get all snuggled up in you rocket cycle, pull yourself from the bottom of a canyon, and take England by storm with Evel Knievel - Part 7!!

Entertaining even for non-sports-lovers

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

You’ll never be sorry you listened

Without a doubt the greatest podcast in the history of podcasts and if you disagree then, you sir may fuck off. Get to know about the crimes your favourite athletes have committed and even better the crazy stories of people you’ve never heard of, all with a funny twist. James and Jimmie have got podcasting down to a fine art and nothing is better than the original!!

The best way to learn nothing about sport!

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

Exactly What it Says

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.

Favourite and go to podcast.

This is my favourite podcast, although I enjoy both Small town murder and Crime in sports, I enjoy the sports stories very much especially the wrestling ones.
