My good friend and (former?) Al Franken fan Michael Springthorpe makes his third appearance to discuss the resigned Senator and comedy legend's sexual harassment scandal that lead to his downfall. We have an earnest and frank discussion on the political ramifications of a sexual harassment scandal, as well as the role of comedy in sexual harassment. Also, Springthorpe does a good Mitch McConnell impression in there.

In a post-Super Bowl special, comedian Mike Mulloy joins the pod to talk about the two alleged rapes committed by NFL Pro Bowler and future Hall of Famer Ben Roethlisberger, as well as the possibility of other offenses.

Utah Jazz social media manager and delightful person Angie Treasure joins the pod to talk about the transgressions of previous boy band heartthrob Nick Carter, specifically how he sexually assaulted two women in the 2000s.

Host of The Chase Down podcast on the Leverage the Chat network Justin Rowan and I read accounts of Jason Kidd's awful behavior towards his wife and those around him during his playing career. Not only is there a domestic abuse arrest that is oft-forgotten, but some great stories of infidelity and drunk driving. Additionally, we discuss how Jason Kidd should be fired for reasons unrelated to his transgressions.

My twin brother Michael re-joins the show to talk about Vince Offer (AKA Offer Shlomi AKA The ShamWow Guy) and how he made himself a two-pitch wonder. We discuss his infamous rendezvous with a South Beach prostitute that ended with a bitten tongue and an assault charge, as well as his honestly disturbing harassment and abuse of his assistant. Not lost are his two terrible comedy movies that are not necessarily sordid, but merited discussion nonetheless.   Rate, review, and subscribe!   Follow the show: @Sordid_History Follow me: @TheJakeChristie Follow Michael if you see him in public
