After many delays, we finally finish up our series on the gold medalist of molestation, Larry Nassar. While nothing could be enough punishment for this guy, he (and some of those who enabled him) finally gets taken off the streets forever - unless he lives to be 231 years old.
Sorry for the delay, guys. We know you're feeling pretty itchy for the thrilling conclusion of the story of Larry "Funny Fingers" Nassar. We'll be back to our regular schedule and the conclusion of the tale of the world champion of child molesters next week. Stay tuned!
This week we present the first episode of a new podcast from Jason Voshall and Michael Blank called Civil Serpents. It's a show about the worst people in civil service jobs, such as police officers, judges, politicians, lawyers (Blank gets a pass), and anyone else who served the public, and then themselves by committing crimes. In the inaugural episode, Blank and Voshall tell the story of Christopher Dorner, the LAPD police officer...
We continue our dive into the disgusting world of child molesting superstar Larry Nassar by looking at the supporting players who knew about his horrific hobby and enabled it, then helped him cover it up.
This week on Field of Screams, we cover one of the most disgusting criminals ever to exist: gymnastics doctor and sexual predator Larry Nassar who molested hundred of girls (and one boy) over the course of 20 years.
This week we get into the case of Darren Sharper: a man who decided drugging women and raping them was more fun than winning the Super Bowl.
This week's topic is a top contender for our darkest episode to date. Brazilian soccer star Bruno Fernandes de Souza says he's not perfect, and the woman he had murdered and fed to dogs would probably agree with that. We don't know for sure, since she's not around to ask. Also, Blank's not on steroids anymore!
This week we discuss a topic near and dear to Blank's heart: sports betting. We consider the crimes of NBA referee and degenerate gambler Tim Donaghy. And as usual, Blank says a bunch of stuff that probably shouldn't be recorded and released to the masses.
We're back!!! In what we have randomly decided to call the start of "Season 2" due to our long absence, we are covering the murder/suicide committed by wrestler Chris Benoit. We are also joined by our first guest host, our resident wrestling expert, Mike Orgo! Listen and learn so much about wrestling, weights and who Blank thinks would rock on his fantasy football team.
After being gone so long you've probably forgotten about us, we're back! We've got a new RSS feed and new episodes coming your way.
In the fourth (and FINAL) episode of our OJ Simpson coverage, we look at OJ’s post acquittal life, including his inability to stay out of trouble and committing armed robbery at a Las Vegas casino, which will lead to him finally getting some jail time!
In part 3 of our O.J. Simpson coverage we take a deep dive into the actual trial part of the “Trial of the Century” and the eventual acquittal by a very suspect/lazy jury pool! As an added bonus, learn more about how Blank is a soft touch for beggars in the bathroom line and why he has the phone numbers of prostitutes saved into his phone… Enjoy!
In part 2 of our O.J. Simpson coverage we delve into a cornucopia of (alleged) criminals, con men and courtroom characters leading up to the Trial of the Century!
So in part 1 of OJ Simpson we got a bit off track and started talking about Bob Uecker -- well, I totally misrepresented the story and found Norm MacDonald's version on Letterman and wanted to share. Waaaay better than what I screwed up.
Join us this week as we discuss more health emergencies, Nazi memorabilia somebody’s family displays, Jesse’s continued crap taste in TV shows — oh, and even manage to spend a few minutes on ex-NFL star and convicted serial killer, Anthony Wayne Smith!
In this episode we cover Sally McNeil, who somewhat prophetically gave herself the nickname “Killer” years before she became one. Join us as we delve into the violent relationship Sally and her fellow bodybuilder husband, Ray, had from the beginning all the way through to his murder over some chicken.
This week we cover the roller coaster life of the fastest man with no legs, Oscar Pistorius. He rose to fame and became an inspiration to millions for overcoming his disability, but it all came crashing down on Valentine’s Day 2013 when he murdered his girlfriend while she was on the toilet. So join us as we (well, Jason) robotrip through one of the biggest crimes in South African sports history.
This week we cover one of the biggest sleazebags of all time, Don King. From running a gambling syndicate in his youth, to murdering people, then to fleecing boxing icons out of millions of dollars, Don King has done it all — while still rubbing elbows with celebrities and even multiple presidents. Join us as we coat ourselves in this terrible and disgusting human being….and that doesn’t even cover h...
Proving that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, we have recorded a mini-episode (a mini-sode?) on the new revelations that the son of Jerry Sandusky has ALSO been convicted of child molestation. Join us as we dive into that family cesspool once again, get an update on Blank’s latest gambling setbacks and also why his nose bleeding.
This week we take a look at what happens when you combine bodybuilders, steroids, drugs, a love triangle and Vegas (Hint: Nothing good). Join Jesse, Michael, and a very St. Patrick’s Day version of Jason as we discuss the very dysfunctional relationship of Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan and their brutal murder of Melissa James.
