They chat about how Mets fans experience more pain than almost any other fans, and how whenever things look good, they go bad in the funniest way possible.

First, we look at snooker legend Jimmy White, particularly when he teams up with fellow madman Alex Higgins.

Next, we look at the total mayhem of mob football at the Atherstone Ball game.

Lastly, we look at the player who never played, Carlos Kaiser and his brush with organised crime.

This week we look at people who had too much money. 

Starting with F1 racer James Hunt, and his relationship with Lord Alexander Hesketh, a man who had money, and knew how to have fun with it.

Then there’s J. William Oldenburg, who owned the USFL team, the Los Angeles Express, and got into a spending war with Donald Trump.

Lastly, we look at James Gordon Bennett Jr, the youngest ever Commodore of the New York Yacht Club, who had a cow on his yacht so he could get fresh milk.

This week we look back at one of our favourite characters ever.

Albert Griffiths, or ‘Young Griffo’ began life in the slums of Sydney, as leader of a local gang.  This proved to be the perfect training for boxing, and before he was twenty he was the World Featherweight Champion.

Moving to the United States, Young Griffo would go on to be one of the greatest boxers of all time, despite never training and almost never fighting sober.

In a career spanning 232 fights, Girffo would only lose nine, despite multiple arrests, stints in jail and various asylums.

We're doing two live Sports Bizarre podcasts in Melbourne this February. Tickets on sale now.

Following the war, Keith Miller dazzled England in the Victory Test and returned to Australia a star.

Debuting for Australia, Miller would dazzle crowds around the world, while also clashing with Don Bradman on a regular basis.

Miller’s on-field antics were matched by the intense interest in what he did off-field. He was rumoured to have had an affair with Princess Margaret, and once while hungover, used a bike to switch fielding positions.

When it comes to cricketers, there have been many as exciting on and off the pitch as Keith Ross Miller.

Miller played VFL, flew fighter planes in the war, and was one of, if not the greatest, all-rounder of all time.

Miller combined movie star looks and incredible charm off the field, with a dark side few got to see.
