Sordid History

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?"

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.

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. Follow Tyler: @HaHaChatham Follow the show: @Sordid_History Follow me: @TheJakeChristie

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.
