#447 - One Man Circus - Evel Knievel - Part 1

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!! Check us out, every Tuesday! We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!  Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman  Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: [email protected]  Get all the CIS & STM merch at crimeinsports.threadless.com  Go to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things CIS & STM!!   Contact us on... twitter.com/crimeinsports  [email protected]  facebook.com/Crimeinsports  instagram.com/smalltownmurder See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
