Hello and welcome to Crime and Sports. Yay! Hey, indeed, Jimmy. Yay indeed. My name is James Petrogall. I'm here with my co-host. I'm Jimmy Wiseman.

Thank you, folks, so much for joining us on another crazy insane wild roller coaster. We like to call Crime and Sports. Hope you enjoyed last week. Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

It doesn't get any crazier than that, man. That was one of our heavy hitters, obviously, our most famous people. We spread the famous, very famous people in every once in a while. We did them all at once. They'd be over with.

You know, also our lightest reader. Yeah, he's definitely. I don't know how you did it. If you sat through interviews with that guy, I don't know how you did it. It's not easy. It's painful. It's not easy at all yet to get his words and copy them down. Imagine listening and then having the cut. What would he say there and then copy the words down as he pauses? It's not easy. It's terrible. It's rough. So if you enjoy the show and if you want to do something for the show, what you can do is you can give us five stars on Apple Podcasts. That purple icon. We don't know why that helps. It's something.

We don't understand why, but for some reason that helps drive you up the charts, which makes people see your show. And then it helps you. So if you could do that, give us five stars. Doesn't matter what you say and say you're following instructions, following directions. It doesn't matter. It's just for business purposes. Also, of course, head over to shut up and give me murder.com for everything. All sorts of new merch up also all your small town murder stuff. Get it there. Also get tickets to your live shows there. That's what I'm talking about. All sorts of small town murder live shows. Just a couple first two are sold out. But if I'm not sure, I'm going to say that I'm going to be a little bit more careful. I'm going to say that I'm going to be a little bit more careful. I'm going to say that I'm going to be a little bit more careful. I'm going to say that I'm going to be a little bit more careful. I'm going

to say that I make sure that I'm going to be a little的chosener. I'm going to say that I'm going to be a little bit closer to my life. So long before the end of the show, it's always been a very tight period. I want you to take this video, and I want the spirits to be a little bit more stable. So, I'm going to do that later am going to say I might, ughhhhit's kinda a lot of stuff'll come out and they are just kidding, I'm going to take this video to play around. Then when I talk about how happens I'm going to turn it this way sometimes. He's a little extra for me. Although he's not very popular, I'm still going to tell you a bit about my life andma translation and stuff. Most importantly, I'm there to label it like things about some old thing. Just going to get it harder, if you don't like it, I'm going to have that so far. Just going to let us go save whoa, I

think the people we're going to gush about at the end of the show are producers who are just the best people in the world. And you can also head over to Paypal, use our email address, crimeinsportsatgmail.com. And you can make a one-time donation there. And that will make you just as much of a producer. And honestly, just as much of a close friend that we love to death. So thank you for that. Everybody that does that. We have for you today, a wild episode. It's a hockey episode. So once we get into all the brain damage sports, obviously,

we're going to be the fun ones. And the problem like Floyd Mayweather, he's in a brain damage sport, but he's been hit like eight times in his whole career. So his brain damage was minimal. This was, that was him at full capacity, full mental capacity. So that's tough. Today, we have a guy who quite possibly, if the whole CTE thing was around at this moment in time, would have definitely probably registered on that scale, I believe, and probably explain a lot of his actions and mixing it up with what he was doing.

It's interesting, but this is kind of one of the shooting star kind of legends of hockey. That's not legends in terms of one of the greatest players ever, but just like the story of him is what could have been. Yeah, it's this weird legend. So let's talk about it. John Cordeck, you ever hear of him? John Nicholas Cordeck here. Oh, nickel. Yeah, the Nicholas. Yeah, well, him.

John Cordeck, nobody knows that as posted John Nicholas. That's what you say. Well, you're looking used to look at his driver's license. I know. So that's the thing.

He used to seeing his official identification. So March 22nd, 1965 is when he's born. He is a Canadian fella. As you might imagine, he's a hockey player. And he's a good one. So he's probably Canadian. He's born in Edmonton, Alberta. No, that's that's got his hockey country right there.

That is oil and hockey. That's the two things I care about. Those two words are very specific to a region. Yes, that's Edmonton, Albert, you know, that word is what I mean. It is oil and it is people drinking after they've worked on oil. Right. That's pretty much what Edmonton is. And then hoping the hockey games are so cold there. It's shocking. The oil doesn't freeze. That's the yeah, they're thank fuck it doesn't. Yeah, imagine that all winter. Well, there goes that job eight months out of the year. We don't have that. So that's not going to work.

Now his parents, John's parents are immigrants. Not from they're from immigrants from Europe. Actually, they are his parents, her names are Ivan and Regina and they're from Yugoslavia. Yeah, they came there. They came in the in the early 60s to Canada from Yugoslavia. So that's, you know, they have a different to different.

They have an upbringing. If you if you have immigrant parents or even like if you had to grow up in an immigrant parents grandparents house, it's a weird feeling of being different of like just the normal things you see on TV like in sitcoms. You're like, well, we don't have meatloaf for dinner. You know what I mean? Like it's just little things and even as it goes on further.

I can't really relate. No, I felt that way in the 80s as a little kid. You'd watch like sitcoms and everybody is like sitting around on a couch eating popcorn together. You know, fucking that. No one screaming at each other. There's no, you know, drama. There's no, you know, nobody in a house coat chasing you with a kitchen utensil.

I mean, you with little James life was not alpha. It wasn't alpha. It wasn't family ties. I'd look at that and go, wow, look at them all eating breakfast together. It's just different. So you feel like, you know, even though you're American and nobody knows, but you feel like everyone knows that that's at home. Yeah.

And like you ate something weird last night that they wouldn't know what it was and shit. Yeah, how smell funny. Yeah, you feel different. It's a different feeling, which is, you know, telling you is, I feel for people.

And going the opposite way as somebody that did kind of have that life apart from the beatings. Going into friends houses where they were immigrants or their family were immigrants, that smell in that house. It's a very straight. You know, fuck.

Yeah, fucks happening in here. Yeah, that's what I mean. What do you guys do? That doesn't smell like child abuse. That's, yeah. What's happening? Well, if it is, it's an ethnic child abuse. It's different. It's.

So like your family loves you and they're beating you to guide you. Yeah, that's not abuse for like getting aggression. Oh, no, that was just overreaction to you. Not, not fulfilling your potential.

Mainly that's an immigrant beating. You could have been better. Damn you beat for that. I didn't fly. I didn't fucking come all the way over here. So you could be a lazy son of a bitch.
