Hello and welcome to Crime and Sports. Yay!

Yeah, indeed Jimmy. Let's bask in it. My name is James Petrogallo. I'm here with my co-host.

I am Jimmy Wiseman. Thank you folks so much for joining us this week on Crime and Sports. God, do we have an insane episode this week?

It's a wild one. First of all, I want to thank everybody this week for your iTunes reviews. All of your support, your Patreon donations, your iTunes reviews, PayPal, everything like that. You guys, honestly, keep us feeling good. You keep us going. You keep us in business here. It's what it is. You keep it. So it's worth, you know, not sleeping for days to find crazy Swedish criminals like the U.S.

We find like we have for you today. It's crazy. If you haven't done it yet, please, please get on iTunes. I know it takes 30 seconds, but this takes like days and hours and it takes like 40 hours to put an episode together. So if you could get on there, please just give us five stars. It doesn't matter what you say. You can say you're following instructions, following directions. We don't care. It's just the five stars that help us on the business end. It's not for our egos. We promise it's for business. It really, really helps. And speaking of business, you'd like to hear some inside talk in the

podcast business. More specifically rant on the podcast business with me using my most colorful language. Please, please stay tuned till the end of the show because you're going to get a fucking earful. Let me tell you right now. Also to if iTunes reviews are not enough for you, you can get on patreon.com slash crime and sports. And you can make a donation there. Every scent is incredibly appreciate. Also, if you'd like to go to PayPal, if you don't want to do Patreon, you could do PayPal. You can do a one time donation there using our email address, which is critical.

Crime in sports at gmail.com every dime is more appreciated than you could possibly know. He can't fathom. He can't fathom it. You really can't. It's it's ridiculous. How, how much are how appreciated this is really is it's it's I can't even describe it. It's that it's that it's that it's it's

touching whenever my phone says you there's a new donation. My mind is it's spins. I can't believe that thank you guys. People can that much, but we really, really appreciate it.

Thank you. And we'll tell you you'll find out later on in my rant exactly how much it keeps us going. And for what reason it keeps us going because we have some shit heads to talk about.

Terrific. Besides that hope you enjoyed last week's Cody East episode was that guy and asked all of the day one or what that was just a mess unbelievable from the moment he came into any kind of public

guy. Yeah to really current day. We have today. This is by far and away the most difficult episode I've ever had to do research for. Yeah blows everything else out of the water.

Not even close. Not even close. This guy did nothing in a country that ever spoke English. Ever. That's helpful. So everything I found was in other languages and had to be translated.

And when you translate things, especially from Swedish. It doesn't just come out in normal sentence. It's like a word jumble where you have to go. Okay, there's eight words. And make a sentence somehow.

But I don't they're not the right one. So you just have to put it together and go, okay, that's sort of makes sense. Here's a Caesar salad. But if I change him around, it's a cob. So what the fuck? Oh God, it's so difficult to track. And the last country he ends up in where this one crime at the end is just it's crazy how hard this was.

So any confusion anything if I repeat myself is because I might have written it down in my notes three times because I thought I was saying one thing and then I said something else. And I haven't slept for three days. But still it's a crazy, crazy, crazy story. Unlike anyone we've ever covered before. It's the story of Kenneth Erickson. Okay.

That is Erickson spelt in a very Scandinavian way. It is E R I K SS O N. Oh boy Erickson. Yes. A lot of those in the States exactly spelled like that. Why is it spelled like that? Because he's from Sweden. He's born in Sweden. He's a fucking Viking. He's a Viking. All right. Where do you see his Viking behavior? He pillages this guy boy. He's a pillager.

This story of the other thing here. This story. Very little sports in this story. Yeah. We will be done with sports in 10 minutes and moving on to nothing but assholary and the neckery and fuckery as far as the I can see. He, like I said, he's born in Sweden. He's from Kram Fores K R A M F O R S. I am not even apologize for this pronouncing sweet as shit.

Yeah. No, we already did. No idea. I know we have listeners in Sweden. We have actually a decent amount of listeners. We apologize. We will fuck up every name. Every city name. Every everything. We really do apologize. Yeah. We really do apologize. But if you're hearing us, you probably don't speak perfect English. So you're probably like, you know, it's the same thing. You're gonna translate us a little off. We're gonna translate you a little off. We'll work on it. Okay. I probably think we're funnier than we are probably. Yeah. Just because we're idiots. Right. Like we ask of all of our foreign all of our

foreign cases, anyone from there, we do ask that you find our ignorance charming. That's what we ask every time we beg you to find our ignorance charming. We're trying our best. I'm not even going to speak for James, but I'm a fucking idiot. So I wouldn't say you're an idiot. I'm not an idiot, but we're trying hard here. I give my best effort, which sometimes is valiant. Other times is not. We try our best. We really do. Sweden in case you don't know. They often say that about the kid that's like,
