This week, we look at possibly the biggest lunatic that we've ever had the pleasure of researching. Don't let his past as a mediocre professional wrestler fool you, his real career was drug trafficking, extortion, violence, murder, the bombing of a police station, and possibly being the greatest used Jeep salesman in the history of North America. This episode is chock full of murderous, revenge seeking bikers, weak prison sentences, and absolute lunacy. Take off your shirt, visit the ol' bomb fridge, and conspire to kill dozens with Ion "Johnny K-9" Croitoru!! Check us out, every Tuesday. We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!
Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman

We'd rather have sponsors money. We don't want your money. Also too. We have speaking of sponsors, speaking of sponsors, we're going to do a little favor this week. We never do this up front. We never do anything like this. But Python cricket guys. They're fucking incredible. They sent us this back. They make a bat like nobody's business. This thing is beautiful. Now I have. I can honestly say it is the finest cricket bat. |
2:10.0 | I've ever held in my hands. That said, I have never held a cricket bat anywhere near my hands. This thing is solid one piece of wood. It's beautiful guys with a rubber wrapped handle and holding it. I told James, I feel like Casey Jones from the Ninja Turtles. The thing is fucking bad. I just want to whack a tennis ball of this fucking thing so bad and see how far it goes. I guarantee for blocks. I guarantee you. |
2:35.0 | But the guys from Python cricket sent it to us and we just want to thank them and we want to tell you guys everybody over there in the UK and Australia and wherever I held |

3:03.0 | She is there's a there's a box for you in the living room and it's it's kind of heavy. I don't know what's in it. And I and there's this long and right when I saw the shape of it, I knew I was like, oh cricket really sent it. |
3:14.0 | We're not fucking around. Python cricket really sent it. Good people. Thank you. Python cricket so much. It's kick ass. All right. That said we'll get to shout outs later. We're going to tell everybody we love later. But let's get into this right away. Let's go. |
3:28.0 | Also to hope you enjoyed Dave megat as big a trainer as we had. Wow. Was that a pile of insanity Dave. I had a blast with Dave megat personally. Apparently you guys liked our Schwarmaman. |
3:40.0 | A lot of Schwarmaman feedback which makes me laugh. That was fun. I coughed heavily. Oh god. I was dying on that. That was I felt ridiculous doing that. So laughing so much at it. Not going to have to speak. It was fun. |
3:55.0 | Doing it was great. I know the way to that. I don't know the fucking guy. No. She says you have money and not give to us. I make her okay without further ado. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a wild one. It's a wrestler. |
4:11.0 | A professional wrestler. Don't care if you like wrestling or not. Like we say you don't even have to like sports. If you're a new listener, you don't like sports. It doesn't matter. Stick around. Stick around. |
4:19.0 | Because there's very little sports. We set up the sports to just to show you where the downfall comes from. Where's the mountain top and where's he going? What kind of behavior sets up later behavior for us? |
4:31.0 | It's like almost like a little psychology thing we like to do. So it's a little trip. This guy is as big a disaster as anyone we've covered it may he would eat Dave megat for lunch. |
4:41.0 | This man. He absolutely would. He's a monster of a human being here. His name is Ion William Croy Toru. Now he's Romanian. Uh huh. His parents are from Romania. He's a he's born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He's a Canadian. Goes by John, by the way. So we're going to call him John. I'm going to call my on here. Yeah. |
5:01.0 | Ion or whatever the fuck Romanian way, but probably young. Yeah. And I don't know if it's like Quattaro or or Croy to I don't know what the Romain. I don't know. I didn't look. I looked up a lot for the next hour and a half. He is John. I have a lot of research. But I couldn't get into Romanian pronunciations and dialect. Like I couldn't do it. Guys. I don't have a fucking energy. And honestly, that's where I have to draw the line. It's a bit much. I love you people to death. But I can't. I'm not even interested in that. |
