The Basketball Friends contributor Anthony Mayes joins the podcast, along with my old high school friend and ex-super-Belieber Allison Leonard, to discuss Justin Bieber's descent from lovable teen idol into the bad boy he is today. How many paparazzi did he assault? What nations is he banned from? How big is his penis? These questions will be answered during the course of the podcast.

Comedy

As the Democratic Primary soldiers on, Malik Marshall joins the show to look back on the adultery/paternity scandal that rocked the 2008 campaign. We question John Edwards's decisions from every angle, and ask important questions like, "How much of a scumbag is he? The biggest?"

063 — John Edwards Fires Live Ammo

If this episode seems uniquely juiced to you, it's because we're talking Jose Canseco with SBNation's Seth Rosenthal. We trace his Sordid History back to poor driving during his playing career, escapades with his twin brother Ozzie, and his current inability to stop posting.

062 — Jose Canseco Tweets Through It (with Seth Rosenthal)

Ahoy! Sordid History is back with its most frustrating episode. Guest Tyler Chatham and I recall Johnny Depp’s bad boy past and then waiver back and forth as to whether the domestic violence allegations against him from Amber Heard are true. You know evidence is conflicting when even I won’t jump to a conclusion.

061 — Johnny Depp Drinks Violently (or Maybe Doesn't?)

My close personal friend Michael Springthorpe makes his 5th appearance on the pod to talk about the sex scandal and downfall of Florida congressman Mark Foley, who he met as a child. We recount Foley's almost ten-year run of sending sexual messages to underaged men, and have a lot of questions. Then, as we are wont to do, we go on a tangent about the film Spotlight and then about Palm Beach County, where Springthorpe is from and Foley was a congressman. 

All in all, good stuff.

060 — Congressman Mark Foley Sent You a Message (with Michael Springthorpe)

As you might imagine, since there is a Sordid History episode about him, Morgan Freeman is not America's Grandpa like people think he is, unless your idea of a grandpa is a dirty old man. My good friend Andre Barrera joined the show to talk through the actor's years of sexual harassment and another long-running transgression that I do not want to give away in the description. So ha. You've gotta listen to find out now.
