Hello and welcome to Crime & Sports!

Yeah! Yeah indeed Jimmy, yeah indeed! Thank you guys so much for joining us. My name is James Petra Gallo,

here with my co-host. I'm Jimmy Westman. I'm telling you, if this is your first week of Crime & Sports, and we've had a lot of new, small town murder listeners have jumped on for some... something caught their attention. I think it was the Bernard Below story they wanted to see.

Thank you.

There was so much of you guys talking about it on social media that people were like, alright, I'm finally going to try it. And they've all liked it. Weird. We only told you for three goddamn years to give it a shot. But hey, what are you going to do? Thank you for joining us though. And if this is your first or second episode, please subscribe to our channel.

So, holy shit are you in for a treat? Cause there's one thing that you're going to know about Crime & Sports. If we take a week off, as I think this year is probably our only week off, the one we just took in maybe Christmas, if we take a week off, that means the one that you're going to get when we come back is extra crazy.

You get like an extra large insane edition. So, you know, to buckle up for that and wow, do we have a crazy one for you? It's a 70s slash 80s basketball player who love to free base. So that tells you a lot right there. It's going to be fun. Put it that way. Gonna have some good quotes. Very, very sly Williams type of situation. Very Bernard King.

He, matter of fact, he was traded for Bernard King at one point. So it's he's on a parallel with Bernard King. And if you remember that episode, you know that this is going to be a treat. Try the crackhead for crackhead.

Pretty much. Yeah, that's just one crackhead. We just scored a little better. It's all Bernard is a little better score. But that's all right. I hope you enjoyed the last few episodes. If you have, I hope you have gone to Apple podcasts, that purple icon and given us five stars, it helps a lot. We don't have any idea why it's a thing.

It's not our platform. No, it just that helps drive you up the charts. We don't know why. So do that. Give us five stars. Doesn't matter what you say. You can say you're following instructions or following directions or whatever the hell you want to do. It helps. Thank you.

And there's a ton of them and they come out every week. This week, we are going to do because I've had a lot of people ask about books. People are constantly asking about books. So I'm going to do a bunch of talk about a bunch of like crazy sports kind of memoir books and do recommendations on anything.

Yeah, she did. Yeah, you're going to discuss it with me and ask me questions and shit. That's our bonus. That's our bonus. That was there. Not anything complicated. They're about sports. It's like sports like we can start with water books.

It's like an internet, but with tree. It's like the internet, but made of trees. I believe is a family guy put it on. It's hilarious. You know, like the internet, but made of trees. So that's, yeah, it's it's pretty awesome. Actually, I'm going to talk about some wild. A lot of them are like, you know, expose a's on shit. So we'll talk about that.

This is going to be an all time classic. I love when I'm when I'm half hour in a research and I'm going, this is a lot of time right here. Like that's when you know it's good. There's been about 10 of those.
