This week, we explore a story filled with wall to wall crime, and crazy. He played with reckless abandon, and lived with even less care. A kid from the back woods makes it big in the NHL, and somehow ends up living in a dingy trailer, on a swamp, with a prostitute, a nasty crack habit, and facing the electric chair for kidnapping, and murder. If you think that's wild, wait until you hear about his father. It's a tale of insanity, from start to finish! Fire up a big crack rock, build a truck out of an airplane, and kidnap a small time gangster with Brian "Spinner" Spencer!! Check us out, every Tuesday. We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!

New listeners, you've picked a peach to jump into the fray on because boy do we have a wild one tonight. This is insane and it's so much fun. So much fun.

Thank you. Thank you. |
1:06.0 | It's awesome and life spinning out of control. No pun intended. We'll find out why that's a pun later on. But yes, before we get into the main story this week, just want to thank everybody for their iTunes reviews and other interaction this week. So important. The iTunes reviews mean the world to us. They help us move up the charts. They help us get better sponsors. They're just so important. So please, please, if you haven't got on there yet, please get on there and give us five stars. Tell us your following instructions. Whatever you want to say inside jokes, jargon. |
1:35.0 | All sorts of crap. But whatever you do, please, please do that. Yeah. All right. I hope you enjoyed also last week's not case. That I didn't know so much. And I was really impressed how much stone cold you found. Oh, yeah, to quote. Yeah, yeah. There was so many. Oh, you wrote a book. I found it online. I'm going to today's references. Thank you. Google books. Yeah, no, that's just that because I'm not buying that shit. That was a fun one. That was fun. God. He was nuts. Why isn't he? |
2:04.0 | He was like, he was a crazy person. It's one of those things where it's like you don't have to know anything about wrestling. Yeah, care about that. It's crazy. It's a crazy part. No, just sit back. We'll tell you. We'll tell you about a crazy person. Cause that's what we do every week here. If you're a new listener, we're just going to. It doesn't matter if you're into sports. It doesn't matter if you're into. You don't have to be into true crime comedy or sports in particular. All any of them really just trust us. This comes together. We'll sprinkle enough of each together. Exactly. |
2:33.0 | And make it fun. It's a nice cocktail we make. It's very smooth. Do you ever sit and watch date line 2020 or 48 hours? Any of those crime shows and just go, this is so serious and so sad. Yeah, like I need comic relief for that. I need to it. It's making |
2:48.0 | ridiculous. We fill that void. And not only shit about other countries and ripping on them. I need that. Well, let's do it. Let's get into this week's subject. It's he's from another country. Fantastic. Other than the US. Not very far away though. He's Brian Roy Spencer. Brian Spencer. |
3:04.0 | He's known as he's a hockey player and a lunatic from day one here. Guess in Canada. Canadian. You got it, baby. Born September 3rd, 1949 in Fort St. James in British Columbia, Canada. |
3:19.0 | So Western Canada. He's from the back woods. Fort St. James is not. Not on the coast. It's not on the coast. It certainly isn't Toronto. It's not Montreal. This is a woods town. These are these are rugged people back here. |
3:33.0 | There's a lot of flannel. Lots of flannel layers of flannel. So I think it's stop a bullet. Just flannel layers. That's how thick it is. It's very popular there. Absolutely. It's a rural area. Back woods. This Fort St. James area. It's a forest. It used to be a trading post. So I mean, that's how you know they just take some furs out there back in the day. I'm |
3:54.0 | going to get some people from over there. Yeah, some people from over here and some people from over there are meeting in this middle of nowhere place. It's 600 miles from Vancouver. |
4:03.0 | Okay. So that's it's out there in the woods of British Columbia. We need a plane to get to civilization. Absolutely. His father Roy and he's got a mother Irene. He's got a twin brother as a matter of fact. Not identical. |
4:15.0 | They're not identical. So they're not creepy. Whatever, but they're fraternal brothers and this that come on parents. This is bad. This is worse than the American junior. It's well, the parents here will blame them Roy and Irene. |
4:27.0 | Irene's a school teacher. Roy is a mechanic and does all sorts of kind of laid out things. Roy, you're going to like Roy a lot. Roy is wow. He's a trip. Roy is a more of a story than Brian. I think just in terms of interest for me anyway. |
4:42.0 | As you'll see, but what did they do with the twin brother? Okay, it's Brian and the twin brother's name is Byron. No, it's Byron. I re-did this, but they didn't even do it like it's not. Okay, it's not B-R-Y-A-N and B-Y-R-O-N. It's Brian, B-R-I-A-N, and byron, B-Y-R-O-N. So it sounds kind of cool together. It's fine. |
5:06.0 | And they dress for them alike. I'm sure identical flannel. It's identical flannel. It's holes. And made them play hockey. Roy, okay, Roy did the right thing getting in the sports. Roy allowed mom to veto and choose the names. That's what I'm going with. That's probably Irene did it. |
5:26.0 | I said Irene was a school teacher. Like I said, she was, oh man, you were close to getting a knock right in the ball sack from across the table. She deserves that for that bullshit pick on there. |
5:39.0 | She's actually right. You're actually right. It's a terrible pick. Roy said these fucking kids are going to play hockey. God damn it. And they played hockey. He's got to make them tough. They're going to pick on them. |
5:49.0 | Well, there's no one to pick on. He would quiz them every day on hockey knowledge. He'd be like, all right, boys pop quiz and he'd be like, so you're skate. I don't know what you're supposed to do in this situation. |
6:04.0 | Who do you pass to? You're in the corner and it's got shit like that. He wanted them to know they're hockey. Who's the best off of hockey? Absolutely. The hockey equivalent of that. Who do you check when this happens? |
6:15.0 | Who do you check? And that's what he wants. He wants them to be tough. He is father eventually buys up like a thousand acres of forest out there in the middle of nowhere, which probably was, I don't know what that cost in the middle of nowhere. It was called Spencer Ridge. Is there the Spencer's obviously? |
