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

I'm Jimmy Wiseman. Thank you folks so much for joining us today. We are super excited week off. Sorry about the week off but we needed to reload for such a huge episode today. We have a very famous person and most of all though we have the pageantry.

I know it was going to be impressive. It's crisp. It's crisp. We're dressed up. We're here for the pageantry of the semi awards in 2020. Hold on, I'll roll your chair over here for one second.

See there. That's got the Christmas Tuxedo on and the tie was just a skew. Not going to let you go down like that.

We are all set so before we get to that very, very quickly, just want to thank everyone for everything you've done for us. Your reviews, Apple podcasts, the purple icon, those mean a lot. We don't know why. It's been five years now. We have no idea why those help drive you up the charts but they do so.

So leave a review of you have not yet five stars and say whatever the hell you want because it really doesn't matter anyway. Also head over to shut up and give me murder dot com for everything you could possibly want to do with crime and sports and small town murder.

If you're not listening to small town murder, man, you are missing out. Please check it out. You can start last week. We did about like my hometown.

Absolutely brutal roasting on that. And you get kind of a little behind the curtain. Look at how you know we talk a lot about our growing up live. So it's fun. Check that out on small town murder. Also listen to PSA hate this movie where I'm forced to watch terrible, terrible movies and then rant and rave about them. So that's a lot of fun as well.

Patreon dot com. This is what you need. Patreon dot com slash crime and sports. My God have we been on on a roll lately. The last episode we did was Danny Almonte this last weekend. That's just a great talk about silver hair middle age white men just ruining just ruining a whole not even.

Not even a fault. Yeah, not even close to his fault. He had nothing to do with it. But instead ruined his life. And it's a it's a wild story and a lot of stuff I didn't know that we talked about. So if you think you know a little bit about it. Still it's there. Check that out. And also small town murder. We did that bonus episode. And you get access to everything on the Patreon crime and sports and small town murder.

We had the story of a family bush just a family bush a niece wife and a sister mother-in-law and a daughter of niece and a whole it's a crazy crazy shit murder tale. You need to be a

big and via it just twisted thorny so thorny and just a wrapped around itself and IV mixed with bug and via just a terrible mixture or even the flowers are pain in the ass. You don't even want that they're just terrible and everyone's allergic to them. So you get all of that.

And you can go to Patreon.com slash crime and sports anyone over the $5 level and Jimmy will brutally mispronounce your name at the end of the show. Oh, you not on purpose, but he'll know absolutely mangled and you will be a producer. That's why and we love you. And if you want to just be a good person with good karma and get your name

and the show don't forget about that. You can do that over at PayPal using our email address crime and sports at gmail.com that said lot of show. Let's get into it. All right. Right in with Michael Irvin. Oh, yeah. My goodness. Michael Irvin. We all know who Michael Irvin is. Everybody loved him. Well, most people hated him unless you're a cowboys fan. Yeah.

Not a ball. I was named a cowboys fan. I was just impressed without god damn good. He was. Oh, he's a good. Now skills and everything else. He's work ethic all that shit above reproach. Absolutely above reproach on the field. You can't get a guy who got more out of every ounce. He got every ounce of talent out of himself. He got everything he left it on the field. He was the first guy to get to the building. The last guy to leave practice. He's that kind of guy. But then when he left practice.

He was going right to the strip club to do cocaine off of a woman's ass. So that was that was the difference between with Michael Irvin though that's off the field.

Full on he's like kind of the Lawrence Taylor of wide receivers. In a way. He's that's the best way to think about him that I can do here. Michael Jerome Irvin. This is full name. It's funny because I'm surprised his parents didn't use use up Michael by then.

As we'll talk about how many siblings he has known as the playmaker. That's his nickname always and I remember they had football cards with the playmaker on them. Yeah.

And for those from like 91. A lot of this by the way. There's a bunch of stuff and I'll give credit where it's due over the course of the show. But Jeff Pearlman boys will be boys book.

A lot of good Michael Irvin insight. That wasn't really anywhere else because he went really in and did a lot of research. And he's terrific. Everything he does sports wise. He he gets in it and just inside of some cleans it out. There's no.

He really does if he's doing a subject. He's doing it 100%. So anytime you see him in a book. If you're slightly interested in the subject. Check it out because it's going to be thorough.
