Help me get James some health insurance. Let's do that. That'd be important. My goodness, Jimmy, do we have a crazy episode this week. We have a pile of nuts for you here. This is a fun one. Mixed ones. It's insane.

This is a fun one. We're going to get into it right now because there's so much to get into. It's wild, and we have a ton of shout-outs at the end we're going to do also. Laundry list. Holy shit. We don't have time for that, but let's get right into our fellow this week. His name, Jimmy, is amazing. If you are a new listener and you don't know, there's an excessive amount of juniors.

It's crazy. People with the so-and-so junior. It's literally, I think, 15 out of our 55, now 56, 55 previous have been juniors, which is a really excessive amount. So we always note, like, we can't believe how many of these people are juniors. And they all name their kids junior. It's insane, right? Well, our fellow today is Otis Nixon. He's the next baseball player.

But his full name, I could not make this up if I tried, Jimmy. Oh, my God. Otis Junior Nixon Junior. What the fuck? Double junior. Are you shitting me? It's a double junior. You're kidding.

This is... How... I don't even know what to say to that. The ultimate crime and sports athlete. He was named junior twice. Twice twice get the fuck out of here once was not did you look it up in the legal document i looked it up on get out of here when i first heard that i said no there's i read it and i went there's no fucking way his name is otis junior nixon jr that's impossible that's his name his name by the state is recognized as otis jr nixon jr

whoever whoever whoever coined the term what in the actual fuck blew it completely blew it if they didn't know about the man named jr twice if you saw a breakfast egg sandwich with some chicken on it and were shocked and your mind was blown by the chicken genocide and you said, what in the actual fuck? You blew it. Because this is ridiculous. This is way crazier. This is ridiculous. We could just end the show now.

We don't even have to tell you what he did. You know he's fucked up. You know he was a menace. Dude, don't even worry about it. He was whacked. Somebody named their son and forgot how to name him Junior first, and they named the dad Otis Junior Nixon. And then he was dumb enough.

He went, I'm going to name him after me, Otis Junior Nixon Junior. This is what we're dealing with here. And he doesn't think this is odd at all. He's fine with it. What a fucking idiot. Otis Nixon Junior Junior. Or Otis with it. What a fucking idiot. Otis Nixon Jr. Jr. Otis Jr. Nixon Jr. I'm sorry we're spending so much time on this.

The way to say it is so it fucks you up. It's a mess. I can't believe this. This was the thing I've looked up most of anything. I fact-checked like crazy this. I'm like, no way his name is Otis. They have it mixed up. It's got to be wrong.

His grandfather thought that's how you name your son Jr. Little yeah so i don't want to give him my name i'll call him junior and that way we'll just call him junior this one he gets the brunt of it old otis nixon uh otis nixon uh he starts his cursed life yeah on january 9th 1959 no chance with a double junior come on you can't you can't outlast that. Unbelievable. That's worse than J.R. Ryder naming his kids the third and the fourth after him. An episode there. It really is worse.

J.R. Ryder, an athlete we had a few back, named his first son J.R. Ryder the second or the third because he was the second and then named his other son J.R. Ryder the fourth. That's not how it works. That's not how it works, Tommy. That's not how names work. But this is worse, I think.

This is dumber. Legally, you can because somebody went out there and named a kid DeBricashaw. You can name a kid anything you want. You can name a kid Hercules if you want. It's happened. I'm positive. No problem. But Junior Junior?

You can't do that. You never have a chance, man. And J.R. Ryder Jr. IV is not a fucking name. Sorry. That's stupid. So this particular junior, Otis Nixon Jr., junior, junior, is born in Evergreen, North Carolina. Okay. He's a small-town boy, Otis Nixon.

He's a very small-town guy. Down home. Down home. He goes to West Columbus High School in Evergreen, North Carolina. Small community. He's a wiry guy, Otis Nixon. He's 6'2", and he's listed at 190, but I would be shocked if he was 190. Was he a shortstop?

He looks like he's about 160. Not in the big leagues. When he first came up in the minors, he was a shortstop, but he moved to center field and left field for his career as an outfielder. Speedster. You'll recognize him by he's possibly the ugliest man to ever play professional sports. Worse than Sam Cassell. Oh, God.

Jesus. He looks like if you took Sam Cassell and stuck a fireplace thing in him and sucked all the air out of him, he'd be Otis Nixon. Sam Cassell with an eight-year crack habit would be Otis Nixon. Oh, my God. That's terrible. He looks like an eight-year crack habit would be Otis Nixon. Oh, my God. That's terrible. He looks like he's about 30 years older than he is always.

His rookie card I saw, his rookie baseball card, he looks like he's 48 years old in his rookie card. He's like 23. It's the silliest thing ever. That is fantastic. He's a terrible-looking man. It's remarkable. Like I normally don't just say, this guy's ugly. This guy is

incredibly ugly. It's shocking. It's shocking. You can't believe how ugly he is. His name and his appearance already ruins him. He's a disaster. He went to college to play baseball. He went to Lewisburg College,

a small college in North Carolina. You just looked him up, didn't you? Oh, my God. He's on your face. Oh, my God. He's not a handsome man. That is terrible. Everybody should be looking that up.

He's not a handsome man. He is scary looking. Holy shit. His rookie card, he does look 55 years old. He does. The one where he's on the Indians? Yeah. He looks, it's insane.

What the fuck? He plays baseball in college at Lewisburg. It's a small college in North Carolina. He is the most successful baseball alum of the school, too, in the end, he turns out to be. They also produced a guy who has the best name in the history of baseball, Razor Shines. Shit, yeah. That was his name, Razor Shines.

That's amazing. That's a badass name, dude. That's a cool fucking name. I hope he got into crime, too. I want to cover that Razor Shines. That's amazing. That's a badass name, dude. That's a cool fucking name. I hope he got into crime, too. I want to cover that guy. Oh, I looked him up. I wanted it so bad. Please tell me Razor Shines killed a guy.

Please tell me he did. Razor Shines played from 83 to 87. He also went to that college. But anyway, 1978, while he's in college, he plays for the U.S. in the Pan American baseball tournament there, the Pan American baseball team. So he's the Pan-American baseball tournament there, Pan-American baseball team. So he's a top-notch prospect. Very good. June 6, 1978, the 1978 baseball draft, he's drafted by the Cincinnati Reds.

Now, he's drafted in the 21st round. And in baseball, if you don't like where you're drafted, it's not like football. In football, you get drafted, you're stuck with that team. They own your rights, and you're screwed, basically. You have to bully them into trading you if you don't want them. If you get drafted in baseball, you just go, nah, don't want it. And that's it. You just, nah, don't want them. And then you're eligible for the next draft.

It's one of those things. He went back to school and said, no thanks, don't want to go to Cincinnati. This happens all the time. Guys that are never going to play in the majors and never even going to play baseball get drafted into baseball all the time. Really? Because they have so many rounds, they can just throw it at a guy who they don't know. They can take chances.

They used to have like 80 rounds. It was like, whatever, who cares? Well, John Elway was drafted too, wasn't he? Multiple times. Many times. We'll get into that too. A couple other football players as well. January 9th, 1979, so six months later, he is drafted in the January secondary baseball

draft by the California Angels. This time with the fourth pick in the first round. Holy shit. That's high. We want that ugly man. Some signing bonus. That's decent. He doesn't sign. What?

He does not sign. Holds out more. I don't know why he doesn't sign, but he decides. Well, he can't go to L.A. with that face. No, there isn't. It's going to be bad for him. He's going to spend all his signing bonus on Botox and shit. Totally.

Absolutely. So finally, on June 5th, 1979, it's the secondary June draft. He's drafted by the Yankees with the third pick overall. Drafted by the New York Yankees. And he signs with the Yankees. A couple days later, on June 9th, he signs with the Yankees. Later selections in the 79 draft, too. This is one that had some great players drafted late.

Brett Butler, longtime San Francisco Giant. Gary Gaietti, the longtime twin who won World Series with them, was the third baseman with a nice mullet on him. Von Hayes of the Phillies in the 80s. If you don't know who Von Hayes is, if you've ever watched Always Sunny in Philadelphia in the Christmas special, when they're

looking for the robot, Matt goes in and goes, you're telling me that Von Hayes walks in here. You don't have a robot for him. Famous Phillies player. That's how you might know him from. And also drafted that year football player-wise, John Elway, drafted in 79. Jay Schrader, the ex-Redskin Raider quarterback. He looked like a goofy sitcom dad when he was 22.

He was like bald and blonde. He was terrible looking. And Dan when he was 22. He was bald and blonde. He was terrible looking. And Dan Marino was drafted. No kidding. Yeah, a Hall of Fame NFL quarterback drafted in the 79 draft. Did the Yankees draft Elway? I'm not sure in 79 if that was the time, if that's when they drafted him. I think they drafted him later.

I think they drafted him after his senior year at Stanford when they actually could have got him. But I'm sure he got drafted every year probably. That's what happens. And teams would draft guys that didn't even play the sport. That's crazy could have got him. But I'm sure he got drafted every year probably. That's what happens. And teams would draft guys that didn't even play the sport. That's crazy. It's weird, but he played. But he ends up playing in the minors. He plays for the Yankees minor league system here, 79 through 82.

He plays in Paintsville, Greenboro, Nashville. So this is not the glamorous major league. This is on a bus in the minors, staying in motels. Not just any bus. It's one of those old-ass shit bus. It's like from a league of their own. I was going to say, it's the one in the league of their own that they need Tom Hanks to drive when the guy walks away and is too drunk to do it.

He becomes a huge base stealer. That's what I remember him for. He was fast. In 1982, and combined in all the teams he was on in 82, because they move him around from A to high A, single A, he steals 107 bases in 82, which is obscene. That's ridiculous, by the way, if you're not a baseball fan.

That's way too many stolen bases. It's a lot. He has 94 stolen bases in 1983. That's in AAA for Columbus, so he's getting ready to move up. He's moved to the outfield in 82 because he's a terrible shortstop. In 127 games in 81, 1981 at shortstop, he made 57 errors. What the fuck? You can't even fathom that.

If a guy in the majors has 20, they're like, Jesus Christ, this is ridiculous. 57 in 127 games. So that is a terrible good move to the outfield. He's making an error every two games. That's crazy. It's wild. Yeah, he's a terrible shortstop. Really good outfield. He's super fast and he gets to a lot of his great range.

The balls are sailing through the gap. Oh, absolutely. On him. He's going right through his legs. Now, September 9th, 1983, he makes his major league debut for the New York Yankees at age 24. Had to be feeling good. Even as ugly as he is, he still had to feel good about himself.

Age 24 with a 55-year-old face. He's like, look, I'm hideous. I have a jerry curl. I look like I'm 60, but I'm playing for the Yankees. So I have a chance here. I'm a straight-up monster, and I'm in New York. I have a chance. In his rookie year, he only plays in 13 games for the Yankees

because they bring him up in September. They just bring up kids when the roster expands, and they let you just, yeah, let's see what this kid's got against Major League Pitching. Let's see how he looks in the uniform. Oh, terrible. Look at him. Jesus, he's ugly. Send him back down.

Pull the hat down lower. It doesn't go any lower. Keep trying. I don't care. You look like Hatchetface from Crybaby. Get him a ski mask. A Yankee with a logo, a Yankee logo right on the nose. Get some pinstripes on a ski mask.

Man. He only plays in 13 games for the Yankees that year. Has two hits and 14 at-bats. He has two steals, though. It seems like he's a pinch runner, probably, because he only has 14 at-bats. So that seems like they bring him into pinch run. Handy guy in the eighth when they need a run.

Exactly. He's super fast. There's no doubting that. February 5th, 1984, he's traded to the Cleveland Indians. All right. For a bunch of nobodies that never did anything and never made it to the majors. Plays in 49 games for Cleveland in 84, so he's starting to get himself into the mix. He has a Cleveland face.

He's got a face. Kids, you've got a face for Cleveland. Sorry, Cleveland. No, we're not. No, we're not. Sorry. There's a reason why everyone runs screaming from there. Maybe that's what it is.

It's all just Nixon's face. They're all like, ah. It started in 87. Everyone just ran away. Or 84. His face is terrible. It's awful. 1985, starts to work himself into the lineup for the Indians.

Scores a high. He's in 104 games. Hits 235, but he steals 20 bases. He's caught stealing 11 times, which is terrible. He's just not experienced enough yet to know how to do it. He has three home runs that year, which is his career high. Three? Three home runs is his career high. I feel like the ball was just running

away from his face. That's what it was, man. He won't have another home run for like four more years now. He has no power whatsoever. Coming up with a drought. Absolutely. 1986, he plays in 105 games for cleveland now he's in the lineup he's a regular he hits 263 he has eight rbi 23 steals only caught stealing six this time so he's getting experience he made 97 500 in 1986 all right which

isn't bad for a young kid like that but uh, you know, still for major leagues nowadays, that's hilarious. That's funny. You'd hear me, like, 97 grand. Guys would be like, I'm not fucking, I wouldn't show up for April for 97 grand. Never mind for the whole season. I wouldn't show up for spring training for that. No. Now, his brother, Donnell, is also a baseball player.

Donnell Nixon. He has a better name. It's not Junior Junior. He ends up playing in the majors from 1987 to 1990. Wow. He plays for Seattle, San Francisco, and Baltimore. Another decent base stealer. In his rookie year, he had 21 steals. Wow. So he had some potential, but he ends up flaming out. But still,

that family produced two professional baseball players, which is not too shabby. Pretty impressive. And Donnell looked nothing like him. Really? Donnell was a normal looking human. Like, he had to look at Donnell and go, you motherfucker. Like, if Otis Nixon didn't get the baseball talent out of the two, he would have killed his brother, without a doubt. Like, if I'm out of the league in three years and I look like this, I'm killing everybody.

I can't do this shit. He looks like he caught on fire in a game and Donnell stomped his face with his cleats. That's what he looks like. Maybe that's what happened. It's terrible. And then he did cocaine for ten years after that, too. He looks legit terrible. I have never seen a man that's what happened. It's terrible. And then he did cocaine for 10 years after that, too. He looks legit terrible. I have never seen a man that looks so horrible in his 20s. No.

Now, in 87, he only plays in 19 games for the Indians. His brother actually played more in 87 than he did in the majors. He hits 0-59 in 17 at-bats, so he doesn't get much. He had one hit and two steals. And there's a reason why he doesn't come up more. Okay. Because then they would send kids up and down to the minors. And he was in the minors and never got really back up that much because while in Buffalo, the minor league team, Buffalo, he is arrested for possession of cocaine.

And this is a theme, a common theme. He likes his cocaine. Because he's got 97 grand in his pocket. He can afford some coke. I've never seen a man look like they like cocaine as much as this guy actually does, and he fits all categories. It's amazing. That's amazing. It's a perfect drug for him.

It's perfect. You already look like you've been doing it for 15 years. What a face. What a face. Because of this, he's going to have to undergo—now the league is on top of him with a microscope. He's going to have to undergo frequent drug the league is on top of him with a microscope, he's going to have to undergo frequent drug testing like multiple times a week drug testing and he also has to get counseling

as part of the MLB program. They have a whole thing they started in the mid-80s when they had the huge Pittsburgh cocaine deal there. I believe we did an episode where that was involved back in the day so listen to that. I don't remember which one it was but listen to all of them and you'll find out. You'll find it. They busted a bunch of people in Pittsburgh for cocaine and the league really buckled down and clamped down on it to that. I don't remember which one it was, but listen to all of them and you'll find out. You'll find it. They busted a bunch of people in Pittsburgh for cocaine and the league really buckled

down and clamped down on it after that. He ends up pleading guilty to a reduced charge on this because it's his first offense. And he serves 30 days in a drug rehab program. That's it. That's all he gets for the possession of cocaine. Wow. He's a young guy. He's got a job.

He's not like he's a bum. But you look at his face and you go, this isn't your first offense. You didn't just start doing this. Come on. Come on. You've done this a while and you just haven't gotten caught. Yeah, let's be realistic here. Now, October 15th, 1987, bad timing because his contract's up at the end of 87.

So he's a free agent at the end of 87. Cleveland doesn't resign him because they're like, oh, that kid who hit 059 and got busted for coke? Yeah, nah. I don't think we need him really. Yeah, the ugly one. Yeah, no. He don't think we need him, really. Yeah, the ugly one. Yeah, no. He's hideous. He scares my daughter.

No. He scares my children, man. He scares my dog. God. So March 5th, 1980, he signs as a free agent with the Montreal Expos. So he's going up to Montreal to not understand French at all for a while up there. Good luck scoring coke up there. Yeah.

But Montreal was a good team in the late 80s. I know they're defunct now, and they're the Washington Nationals now, but they were that late 80s Montreal. They were a force to be reckoned with, and as we'll find out, another team that he gets sent to wasn't. In 1988, he hits.244 over 90 games, has 46 steals. Wow, that's not bad. So he's starting to be a major leaguer now.

That's solid. Those are MLB stats. Those are MLB stats. 1990 with Montreal, he hits 251 with 50 steals. Wow. And a home run. They're ticking up. How about that?

There it is. There it is. 50 steals, though. That's a lot. And in the 90s, the game changed from the mid-80s when Vince Coleman and those guys were stealing 100 bases. That 50 is a lot in 1990, and 50 is a lot now. Guys lead the league with 60 now, commonly.

April 1st, 1991, the 91 season, April 1st, like right before opening day, April Fool's Day, he is traded to Atlanta. The Atlanta Braves. April Fool's for a guy named Jimmy Kremers who only played one season, and that was this season when he was traded to the Braves. He played one season and hit 110. Yeesh. And that was it.

And he went back to the minors, never to be heard from again. So bad trade for Montreal because Otis Nixon becomes kind of a star. And Otis is pissed about going to the Braves. Really? The Braves in 1990 were terrible. They were awful. And Montreal was good. And he's like, what, did you just trade them into a shit team?

Now, granted, nowadays we're thinking Atlanta ruled the 90s. They're about to get John Smoltz. Calm down. They're about to become a dynasty. They're about to sign Greg Maddox away from the Cubs. They're about to do a lot of things. They're about to become a semi-dynasty. They only won one World Series, but whatever. We'll give them...

They won the division every goddamn year. Every year, and Montreal became defunct. So, in the end, good thing for him, but at the time, he'll give them. Listen, they made runs. They won the division every goddamn year. Every year. And Montreal became defunct. So in the end, good thing for him. But at the time, he's super pissed. He's so mad that when they play Montreal on June 16, 1991. He's going to send a message. He sends a message. It's a game in Montreal versus the Expos.

He records a record-setting six stolen bases that day. Wow. Just runs the shit. And he said he just camesetting six stolen bases that day. Wow. Just runs the shit. And he said he just came from there. He knew all the pitching. He knew how it worked. And so he was just slapping base hits and walks. How about that?

Six steals. How did the team to go be so pompous that they're just like, yeah, we're just going to run the same pitch count, same everything. Their team has a player of yours. Yeah, they didn't care. They didn't think much of him, apparently, either. He wanted revenge on the Expos for trading him. Now, also, this steal at the time, this was a record setter.

No one had ever stolen six bases in a game before. Since then, it's been done twice, once by Eric Young and once by Carl Crawford a few years ago of the Tampa Bay Rays. That's it? That's it. It's been done three times in the history of baseball. And even in the time when people were stealing

hundreds of bases, back in the day, whether it was the 60s with Maury Wills or the 80s with the Vince Coleman's and those guys, Tim Raines

and those kind of guys, nobody stole six in a game. That's a shitload. Ricky Henderson never did that. Never stole six in a game. That's unbelievable. No. You would think they'd just

throw over every pitch after five. Yeah. You wouldn't forget it. But still. This ratchet-faced fuck does it to you. Yeah, because he was under the radar or something. Or he was on coke.

Also, too, seeing the pitchers that much, he might have known their move to the bag. And that's helpful if you know a guy's move. Now, here you have an in their own words. Awesome. Our first in their own words on steals as a revenge to the team. He says in their own words, quote, the Braves were the worst team in baseball. I wasn't comfortable with that trade, so I had some animosity toward the Expos

when they did that on April Fool's Day. So I was like, I'm going to show you guys a few things here. So he said he does. I got my own tricks. Yeah, I'll steal everything on you sons of bitches. Look at me. I'm hideous. I'm a goblin.

All I can do is steal. I wonder when they traded him, if they did some shitty thing because it was April Fool's Day. How are you doing? Are you enjoying being an expo? That was a thing, too. He keeps saying in these interviews, he keeps talking about April Fool's Day. I really feel like when they told him, he didn't believe them.

He was like, yeah, right. They're like, no, no, dude, seriously, here's your plane ticket. And he was like, that's an expensive prank you just pulled out. That's a printed out plane ticket. You got one of their uniforms? How the fuck did you do that? Oh, shit, I am going to Montreal. I am going to Atlanta.

God damn it. Unbelievable. So, yeah, he plays for Atlanta in 91. And anybody who knows anything about baseball knows that was the start of Atlanta dominating the National League East. You betcha. They went to the World Series that year. And they were a hot team all through the season. That was their big first run.

series that year and they were a hot team all through the season that was their their big first run um now in july 91 during the middle of this and otis is a main cog in this too i mean they he's fitting right in he tests positive for cocaine in july on a major league test and he's he's constantly being tested like we said and we'll find out exactly what happened because he tells us um he can test the results of this test. So he says, no, that's not true. He says it must be a false positive. And this is, I think, scientific testing was a little different back then. And basically they made a big thing like, look, he's been tested hundreds of times, two, three times a week since 87.

He's never had a bad test. And now he has a bad test and he's claiming it's not bad. And they basically, so they tested him again a couple of times and he was clean. So the league gave him the benefit of the doubt. Wow. And the league said, you know what? Fine. We will not suspend you, which is pretty, you know.

That's pretty fucking nice. That's pretty decent of him, honestly. You know, like that's, they've said it must have been a false, false positives do happen. Yeah, of course they do. And they were like, probably. All right, fine. We'll give you the benefit of the doubt. So you figure at that point, you know, he's like dodged a bullet.

I better get my shit together and stay on the straight and narrow. So September, while the Braves are very hot in September on a pennant run, September 17, 1991, Otis fails another cocaine drug test. God damn it, Otis. Another one. You fucking idiot. How could you? You can't say that's bad. No.

They tested this one multiple times right away because the last time too they made sure you tested positive asshole so now he looks like an even bigger jerk for saying he wasn't doing it before it's the worst so he suspended anybody that stood up for him too in that because you know he had teammates and management and people management people were speaking so highly of his character and he fucked him silver-haired middle-aged white men lined up out of the back of the building. Everywhere. Agents, managers, the GM will hear how disappointed he was. Not disappointed in his behavior. Disappointed that he got caught, basically.

Glavin and Smoltz's managers are in there, too. Everybody's coming to his defense. Bobby Cox is pissed off. Leo Mazzone's rocking back and forth. Oh, Jesus. He's suspended for 60 days for this, which is a big deal considering that's the rest of the season. And that's their playoff run. He misses the World Series. Wow.

The Braves make it all the way to the World Series that year against the Minnesota Twins in an epically tight, as tight of a series as you can get. It goes extra innings in game seven with Jack Morris pitching like 11 innings of a complete game shutout. And he missed it. I think it's a 1-0 game. That was game seven was a 1-0 game. He missed it. I'm sorry, a 2-1 game or something like that. Something where a little stolen base here, a little bunt slap over the sink could have been the difference in winning the World Series.

And this guy blows it with his stupid cocaine habit. He's like, I'm this ugly, I have to. His agent, Joe Sroba, says that he will enter a rehab program in Richmond, Virginia at this point. He tried to appeal this also, and he's appealing the sentence and everything. He will not take his consequences, this

guy. That's one thing he will not do, is take consequences for his actions. That is too reasonable for this man to ever do. Bullshit with him. He's got to deal with the consequences of that face. That's enough for him. That's enough for him. His actions, god damn it. Braves general manager, John Sherholtz, who's still around now. I don't know if he's

a Braves, but he's around somewhere. He said about the situation, quote, you hate like anything to lose a guy like Otis, but there's nothing we can do about it. And then they asked him what happened because he was the one that told Otis he was suspended. And they said, well, what happened?

He said, quote, he was very quiet. I can't accurately read his emotions. He didn't respond at all. So that was it. Like, he just sat there like, shit, I'm busted now. I can't accurately read his emotions because he just stone faced it. And his face is literally made of stone because he was he made a gargoyle face and just sat there. He looked like he belonged on a building.

Kind of looked like a goblin. Is that an emotion? Is goblin an emotion? He looked like he belonged on a building in Gotham City. That's it. He was feeling slightly goblin. If I had to put a finger on anything. That's all I can...

That's all I know. A little gobliny, I think, is where he was going with it. He said to me, I wish I had some coke to get through this. That's what he said. Because you know he sat there, too, like, fuck, I can't argue this one. Like, they let was going with it. He said to me, I wish I had some Coke to get through this. That's what he said. Because you know he sat there too like, fuck, I can't argue this one. Like they let me out of it, dodged a bullet, and then I do this. I have really blown it. I got to eat this one.

I could use some Coke right now. His season was fantastic in Atlanta, though, in 91. 124 games that he played in. 297 average is best. 72 steals, career high. That's fantastic best 72 steals career high that's fantastic 72 steals is great that season is so long it's so long 172 games 162 62 that's so many games a lot of fucking games god jesus had a 371 on base percentage huge part of the whole run and not there for the world series not there and they really could have been the difference. Yeah. Really could have been.

Now, in an article, I was reading about all this, right? I'm reading an article. I'm reading all these. I'm reading all these old newspapers. And I got to tell you guys, September 25th, 1991, Otis Nixon was very disappointed in himself and looking forward to the future. He was saying how he let the kids down more than anything. And he even said, he's like, your kids, my kids, all the kids. I let all the kids down. I have to put these kids. That was one of his questions. He's like, your kids, my kids, all the kids. I he let the kids down more than anything and he even said he's like your kids my kids all the kids i let all the kids down that was one of his questions he's like your kids my

kids all the kids i let all the kids down like he just kept saying that the kids look up to me and i let them down it's like no the kids think you're a monster they're not looking at you they're going look i don't like i don't want to be him the kids look up at you in fear yeah the kids look like the kids want to be john smoltz they don't't want to be you, you fucking goblin. They'd rather be Jim Abbott with his gimpy fucking hand than you. Yeah, but I was reading this article, and it's really hard because it's so interesting that I couldn't even concentrate on Otis Nixon because I was so blown away by the sales over at Brad Reagan Tire and Appliance at 619 East Tennessee Avenue in Florence. What have they got? They got, these sales are top notch, a 25-inch color TV with remote. Oh, my God.

General Electric, dude. Yeah. 398.48. Holy shit. By the way, that TV is a piece of shit CRT. What size? How many inch? 25.

25 inch. 398. You can get like a 60-inch flat screen now for that. That thing's a doorstop these days. Yeah, huge, big time, man. It's a, I was going to say a paperweight, but it's like a weight for a tarp if you needed to hold something down. Put that on the firewood and then put the TV on it.

Keep it from blowing away. Keep the rain off the firewood. I'm telling you. Also a JVC lightweight VHS camcorder. All right. It was like a newfangled at the time lightweight VHS camcorder. All right. It was like a newfangled at the time. It's a single hand. Single hand.

$698.48 for this piece of shit. Holy shit. And everything on there looks terrible. If you grew up in the 90s and watched America's Funniest Home Videos and they're all grainy and shitty, you could barely see the guy who gets hit in the nutsack with the wiffle ball. This is the camcorder they were using. With that static bar across the top. Yeah, with the time and date sitting on there because you can't figure out how to get the stamp on.

And it's never right. Never right. Never right. It says it's 1873. I don't think that's correct. So, yeah, that's $698. Those things were obsolete after the Y2K bug, I think. I think so.

Yeah, since phones. They didn't even update the date, so it's all over in 2000 anyway. It just doesn't matter. But since this is Brad Reagan Tire and Appliance, also, while you're looking at these two, deciding which piece of electronics, modern day, top tier electronics you're going to get, you can get an oil and lube job for only $10.88. That is a deal. With coupon.

Do not forget the coupon. Guys, go to the paper, get the coupon. You better clip that shit. So if you're in September 25th, 1991, get down there for the sales because it's amazing. If you're listening from 1990. If you are listening from 26 years in the past, please, please go there and get in on these sales, man, because they're top notch. $10.88 is a

great deal for an oil change. That's unbelievable. That's what I mean. If I could time travel, I'd be getting an oil change tomorrow on that shit. That's perfect. Now, December 7th, 1991, Otis had been petitioning the league to shorten his suspension. He wants to

shorten it to time served, basically. I sat out the end of the season. I missed the World Series. That's enough, right? Let me come back next year. At the beginning of the year, they say, go fuck yourself, you ugly son of a bitch. He'll miss the first 18 games of the 1992 season, which is, I believe, 21 days. Comes out to 18 games.

But that's still money. That's the problem. That's the money he's losing also. That's the money that he's looking for. He lost a decent chunk of it from the last year. It's over $100,000, I believe he lost from the last year for missing that last chunk and all the bonuses too. You win playoff

series, you get bonuses and he's not getting any bonuses. You get to the World Series, you get a check. You get a check. You get a championship ring, which they probably gave him a ring because that's up to the team. The team votes on who gets a ring. Guys who came up and went down and shit like that. He was a pretty big part of it. But I would have been like, hey, fuck you.

You couldn't wait another month to do cocaine, you asshole. Save the team a little bit of cash on your stupid fucking ring. Yeah, we could have won the World Series and then you could have snorted your brains out for six months. But you had to do this now, you fucking idiot. We find out why, though, in a moment. Now, he is a free agent on November 11, 1991. Bad timing.

Twice now, right before his contract runs out, this guy gets busted for cocaine. What is he doing? He's a fucking idiot. But back then, too, it's still silver-haired, middle-aged white men lined up as far as the eye can see. Just to defend your honor. Let's brush that under the rug quick here. He's re-signed by Atlanta, the team he just fucked over, on December 12, 1991.

For a pay cut, I hope. Five days after they found out, too, that he was going to have to miss the first 20 games, 18 games of the season. No, no, not a pay cut. He's making a little bank. In the 92 season, he makes $1.8 million. Wow.

A million of it is bonus, but I think that might be just don't get arrested for cocaine. Literally, it might be if you don't get suspended, you get a million-dollar bonus. Here's your contract. It's 800 grand and a million if you're not a jerk-off, too. So you get $1.8 million. So he starts making money now. This is the beginning of his high-dollar contracts. And he makes good money over the course of his career, too.

It doesn't do too bad. kind of high dollar contracts and he makes good money over the course of his career too doesn't do too bad uh january 1992 there's an articles about now otis is coming out and spilling the beans about the cocaine and why he did it and what happened and his excuses are great though it's it's here's the thing though he's a moron with addiction it's so sad because a man with his face should never make a million dollars ever in their life combined. And he didn't expect it. And he's getting a $1.8 million contract. He should look in the mirror and go, hey, ugly fuck.

Yeah. You will never do drugs ever again because we just got an amazing gift bestowed upon us. No, no, no. This is much better than having a good-looking face. And we even have statements about it, too, where he talks about, like, you know, small small town kid with that much money. I didn't know what to do. I really figured he's like, I'm from the middle of nowhere. I look like a monster. I look like a burn victim. I'm probably going to work, you know, in a field somewhere in a factory. There's no way I'm going to make millions of dollars. So he just didn't have that mindset set out to be on the straight

and narrow. That's crazy. So he says that there was a huge custody dispute with his ex-wife over his daughter that drove him to do the cocaine. This is a problem with women. We're going to get into lots of marriages and lots of problems and all this sort of thing here. He says that a pharmacist friend of his gave him eight or nine lines of cocaine. First of all, that's a shit. I don't think it is not in his official capacity as a pharmacist.

He was just a pharmacist who happened to also have cocaine, I believe. I don't think he was like, hey, Otis, let me see that slip. I'm going to prescribe you. I'm going to go ahead and give you eight or nine lines of cocaine. I hear you suffer from chronic fatigue. Yes. This will help. This will get you going.

This will get you going. See, I said the pharmacist gave him eight or nine lines of cocaine, which is a shitload of cocaine. Yeah, and told him, take this with food. Well, yeah, take two. So the friend also told him that gave him a way to beat the test was the thing. The friend told him, look, dude, do the cocaine. You need to relax.

He told him, you just make a cocktail with an herbal tea tablet and vinegar. Oh, boy. And he tried to do like shit you did in high school like you know drink a cap full of bleach bro that'll clean it all out like three bottles of golden seal drink a bunch of water man it's cool yeah so he's got this idiot drinking herbal tea tablets and vinegar like a fucking asshole and doesn't work i think otis was confused though when the pharmacist pulled out the coke he was like oh thank you and he's like no no that's for me that's what i need to look at your fucking face you really do because it's rough man it's rough you should see what i have to give my wife i have to sedate her in the other room she's frightened to have you in the home my kids moved i sent my kids with my parents because

i just my wife divorced me and i lost custody of my children over your fucking face that's how ugly you are dude seriously. Seriously. Unreal. That's highly possible, too. That's the sad part. Now, on drugs, we have an in their own words on him from this point. He said, in their own words, quote, I had dropped the ball in trying to lead my life around. I let my guard down enough to see if it would work.

I'm stronger now than I've probably ever been. My life is better. My relationships are better. I can talk about things. I have no secrets to hide. I am who I am, and I know where I'm stronger now than I've probably ever been. My life is better. My relationships are better. I can talk about things. I have no secrets to hide. I am who I am and I know where I'm going. But I still have this face. Can't help this.

Can't help what I got going on here. Somebody should tell him he has a million dollars. Fix your fucking face. They're still fixing that face. You could sit down. They would need the face-off movie technology where they could literally just absolutely replace his face with a more attractive person's face. Anybody else's face is more attractive. Charo's face is better.

His face, the way it looks, it looks very shriveled up, which is really weird because his head is very tiny also. He's got a very tiny head. He looks like someone, like a witch doctor shrunk his head. And then reinflated it. And then reinflated it. But it's the same face. But yeah. The face didn't expand.

But didn't hydrate it properly. It's like a shrinky dink that you, he's a used shrinky dink. He started out this, you know, looked like a motorcycle. He put it in the oven. That's tiny and twisted around. I'm like, I don't want that. It's like a motorcycle. He put it in the oven. That's tiny and twisted around. I'm like, I don't want that. It's like a cardigan that you put in the dryer. Now it's just shrunken and fucked up.

Otis Shrinky Dink Jr. Nixon Jr. But the buttons all stay the same size because obviously those don't shrink. They're not going to shrink. They're metal. That's a mess when that happens. His face is so fucked up. It's so bad. It's so bad. It's so bad.

This is what we're dealing with here. Now, 1992, on the field, you want to laugh at his face some more, don't you? You're having fun with his face. I should have showed you his face ahead of time. That hurts so much. It's hard not to, man. How does he get through life? I don't know. It's way worse now too I know I don't get it

it's so bad I remember when I was a kid we used to make fun of him that Otis Nixon is an ugly motherfucker isn't he when we were like 13 we were like god damn I want to know the worst things that were ever said to him about his face cause he's gone through it for his whole life if I interviewed him that would be that's the only thing I want't know the worst things that were ever said to him about his face because he's gone through it for his whole life.

No, no. If I interviewed him, that would be. That's the only thing I want to know. I want to know nothing about drugs because I've got that. James has got you on lock with that. And women like him. That's crazy. That's how much success will get you women.

You could literally be the most hideous man in your entire profession. And the women will still come to you. If you have millions of dollars it is such a man's world jesus god if you get money you can do fucking anything imagine if a woman looked like that oh my god men would be marrying her especially not like successful women like we'll get into the people who married him these are like famous people that married him and you're like are you out of your fucking mind? Have you looked at this guy? His face looks like a California raisin. What worse?

One that got like left in a car and stepped on down on the carpet and mushed around. The dates, the dried out dates that my grandmother eats so that she can shit look much better than his face. Otis Nixon will make you shit. I think looking at him will make you shit. He just looks at people and they're like, oh, thank you. I've been constipated for weeks. Settling back to on the field here. On the field, 1992, he has a huge, huge famous play that's still famous to this day.

He makes what they call the catch in Atlanta. It's a catch. He robs Pittsburgh Pirates' Andy Van Slyke. You probably remember him. Center fielder for the Pirates in the 80s and 90s. Loved him. Robs him of a home run. It's an amazing catch.

Jumps up over the wall. Really? You know, catches it over the wall, and it saves the game, and it saves the Braves' 13-game winning streak that they had going at the time. It's a huge deal, like a big, big, giant deal. So that was the first round of the playoffs. I mean, it was a giant deal. He saved the game. Big deal. So this is a, that was a, it's the first round of the playoffs too. So, I mean, it was a giant deal. He saved the game. Big deal.

So that's the kid that was on the outfield wall that was going to get that ball. See that dude's face coming out. They weren't holding their hands over the wall. They gave him a wide berth. He had about three rows of play. It's fine. No one's coming in all day. It was no Steve Bartman. Was that his name, Steve? Yeah, yeah, Steve Bartman.

I'm telling you, man. Now, on the field, in addition to making a spectacular catch, he has a fine year on the field. Hits 294 with two home runs. The power. He must be roiding. The power. He must be just roiding up. If you don't know when Crystal Pepsi was discontinued,

because I don't care either way who does what with themselves, but there's been rumors forever that Mike Piazza's gay. As fuck. That's always been the rumor. Well, in this interview, it's from 97, he's talking about marveling at Otis Nixon's body.

What? And he's like, you know, I take care of myself. And he's like, but Otis Nixon, man, he's just ripped. He's got like 2% body fat. He's just a god, man. Like he was just going on in a whole article about how Mike Piazza wants to fuck Otis Nixon. It was the weirdest fucking article. Somewhere halfway through that article, they'd be like,

are we going to talk about what we were supposed to talk about or are you just going to talk about how you want to jerk Otis Nixon off? What's going on? I came here to talk about your regimen and diet for your workout, not fucking that guy's cock. Slow down. He was just looking at him from across the room. He was pointing him out like, look at him.

He was literally like, look at him, like a dude would do with a girl. Look at those titsies. He's like, look at him. Like he was literally like, look at him, like a dude would do with a girl. Look at those tits. He was like, look at her, man. Look at him, man. He's a 2% body fat man. He's like, we can't compete with that, man. He's just a god.

It's a total butter face. Yeah. Also, you know who else is cut like that? Cokeheads. Yeah. Cokeheads. They're real cut. Not a lot of extra fat on them, the Cokeheads.

Their metabolism just constantly burning that shit. He also had 41 steals in 92 in addition to his massive power output of two home runs. Now, in 1992, at the same time after the season, Otis's ex-girlfriend is suing him for paternity support for their twin sons. He's got twin sons and a daughter. So he's got that going on with two different women. He's got a daughter with an ex-wife and he's got two sons with an ex-girlfriend. He goes through the women like crazy.

His courtships are fast. He gets married immediately. He's a fucking idiot. He lives fast like a cokehead. He lives fast like a cokehead, like he runs. Now October 1992 here starts his romantic escapades. October of 92, this is during the playoff run of the 92 season,

he begins a romantic relationship with Juanita Leonard. Juanita Leonard is Sugar Ray Leonard's ex-wife. What the fuck? Sugar Ray Leonard, the world-famous champion boxer from the 80s. They had gotten divorced a year before this, but this is Sugar Ray Leonard's wife, basically. And Sugar Ray Leonard's two kids are here, the 80s. They had gotten divorced a year before this, but this is Sugar Ray Leonard's wife, basically. Sugar Ray Leonard's two kids are here, the whole deal. She also had just been dating

Peebo Bryson, the musician. How did she do this? Him also. She must be amazing. She's okay. It's so funny. It's hard to tell because the one picture I didn't look up more than, there's the one picture I saw of her was her and Otis Nixon.

Yeah. And Otis is like he's looking like Otis Nixon. He can't look happy. He just can't. His face isn't capable of it. And she's like hugging him, but she looks like she's angry or frightened or something. She's not smiling. So I can't tell.

Is that the one that's on the cover of a magazine? I don't. It's not in a magazine. I got it out of a 1992 Jet magazine. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I got. Jet magazine.

Yeah. Yeah. It's on the cover of Jet. Oh, you see when you look at the picture of him? Okay. I read the article that was in there. That's the one on the cover of Jet. Yeah.

So that's Jet magazine. So yeah, he's hooked up with Sugar Ray Leonard's ex-wife. This is October 92. He has her and her two sons sit behind home plate for playoff games, sends them the limo. She said she was so impressed with the limo rides and all that. Basically treats her like Mel Hall treated his underage girl that he was trying to have sex with. Go back and listen to Mel Hall.

I think it's episode 17 or something. It's really terrible. He's a piece of garbage, but let's go on there. Now, on Juanita, we have an In Their Own Words on how he felt about Juanita. And this is just wow. He was a poet. No, no, no, no. OK.

This shows how he just falls head over heels for people immediately. Gotcha. He's so needing input. Yeah. He's either doing cocaine, getting married, being in a relationship, doing this, doing that. Like he can't just sit still. He needs to plug other things into his life to have things constantly going on i guess to keep up with that fast ass metabolism of his two percent body fat that mike piazza's drooling over and stroking his cock too so in their own words on

on his love of juanita yeah here let's see here in their own words quote during batting practice i was thinking about juanita during the game i was thinking about juan. And I told her we lost the game because I was thinking about her. I fell in love with her, and I just felt like this was the person I wanted to spend my life with. My God. He blew—well, he didn't really blow it, but their season ended in the playoffs that year on an extra inning bunt attempt that did not work by Otis Nixon. Really? He did get the game-tying RBI

to send it to extra innings, which the kids and Juanita must have been very excited about. But then he was trying to do basically a squeeze bunt for a base hit at the end of the game. And he was a good bunter, but it failed. That happens. It's a fucking bunt. It's not a perfect science. So he was basically saying, I told Juanita

that's your fault. I wasn't concentrating. Thinking about that snap and gyro. I was thinking about that shit, basically saying, I told Juanita, that's your fault. I wasn't concentrating. I was thinking about that snapping gyro. I was thinking about that shit, man. So they asked Juanita, like, you know, why are you with this guy who's been busted for cocaine and, you know, looks like, I don't even know, looks like he ate a firecracker. What about that guy? How does that work? I mean, the drug use, they asked him the whole deal. And she said, quote, it didn't frighten me or deter me at all because I know Otis.

They've been together. This is literally two months later. That was about his face. They've been together for two months. Yeah. Didn't frighten me. Didn't frighten me. I know him.

He's got a face. He's a human. She said, I know Otis. Yes, it was an unfortunate situation. He was at the wrong place at the wrong time doing the wrong thing then. Now he's really good about going to his meetings, getting tested. His sobriety is something that he works really hard at accomplishing. He got somebody else to say I'm good now for him. That's amazing. I was going to say, he got not only somebody, a beautiful woman with options.

Yeah. Was married to a champion of the world. And she has money because I'm sure she took Sugar Ray for a good amount. Because Sugar Ray was an asshole, cheated on her, did a bunch of drugs, and knocked her around a couple of times. So guaranteed she got paid off for that. She has options. She ends up with a goblin who's on cocaine, literally enabling him to the press,

saying, look, guys, he's good now. He's good now. He's good now. Somebody else is saying it for him. For him. That's fucking amazing. That's the power of money and apparently ugly and maybe cocaine. Who knows?

He got a beautiful black woman to become a silver-haired middle-aged white man for him. That is amazing. Incredible. He's a magician. He's a magician. That can't change his face. If only there was a spell for that, a magic wand that would accomplish that. Fucking who needs Harry Potter more?

Shit, it's worse now. Fuck, never mind. So he loves her so much that on December 21st, 1992, after being together for about three months, they sneak off to a secret ceremony and get married in Jamaica. Wow. Not smart, first of all. All of his marriages are like this. You're in trouble already.

They're all like, we're getting married now. Let's do it. I've known you for a month. Let's get it on. Let's go to Sandals and get married. Yeah. So, I mean, he's doing fine. He plays the 93 season with Atlanta.

He's got his Juanita there and the kids. Everybody's doing fine. He's living in Atlanta, having a happy time. And then he's a free agent at the end of that year. Uh-oh. December 7, 1993, he signs as a free agent with the Boston Red Sox. Oh. Big money.

First year, he makes $3.25 million. Wow. So now he's stepping it up. Now he's had three years. He's had three years of being a top base stealer and everything else and for a good team, and he's been on plenty of exposure. The Braves were on national TV every goddamn day on TBS, and they were in the playoffs.

Yeah, that's when TBS was big with them too. They were playing every damn game they played and so it's because the Braves were popular back then. I remember people wearing Braves gear. Everybody loved them. Because they came out of nowhere and were good. And then we all hated them by the late 90s. So yeah, he signs with Boston so the whole family there, they're going to

still stay in Atlanta and living in Atlanta but he's in Boston on 94 season. Has 42 steals. It's 274 for Boston. So life is good for Otis, man. Life is going very well. On December 9, 1994, after the season, he's traded by Boston. Oh, no.

Gets traded with Luis Ortiz to Texas for Jose Canseco. How about that? So let's get another lunatic in here. Yeah. For Jose Canseco. Unbelievable about that? So let's get another lunatic in here. Yeah. For Jose Canseco. Unbelievable. Can you believe that? Unbelievable.

What a deal. Jose Canseco. Yeah, that's an interesting deal. It's a good deal for Texas, actually, because Jose Canseco was on his last legs at that point. Ended up having a little resurgence in the late 90s there in Tampa. I think he had like 50 home runs. Then he knocked around some chicks, too.

Oh, he always did. Jose had some problems with that. He's terrible. Jose's got issues. Jose's got issues. I enjoy him. I enjoy him after baseball. I do, too. Jose had some problems with that. He's terrible. Jose's got issues. Jose's got issues. I enjoy him after baseball. I do, too. He is fucking great after baseball.

Yeah, he's hysterical. He's so funny. I just love how he came out with his book, calling everybody out, calling the system out, and everybody came out and they were like, he's such a liar. He said every single thing he said has been true. Yes. Every single thing he said. Because it's been over 10 years now.

Didn't lie about nothing. He was telling the truth in that book about every scumbag in baseball. So now he's in Texas. Good season for Texas in 95. Was that with Julio Franco? Was he there then? Yeah. Podge was there.

Juan Gonzalez. Juan Gonzalez. He was great. He was great. I know this for a fact because I saw the 96 Rangers play the Yankees in the first game of the playoffs that year in New York. So that was – I loved Julio Franco's batting style. Oh, yeah, he had the weird –

Yeah, way up over his head. Yeah, Kenny Rogers pitching back then. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's what we were dealing with then. Now he hits 295, like I said, that year, 50 steals. Wow. No home runs, but that's fine. He's not there for that.

They're not looking for that. They got Juan Gonzalez down there. They got plenty of power. No big deal here. So he plays out the 95 season with Texas, and now he's a free agent again because he had signed a three-year deal. He's a free agent. On December 7th, 95, he signs with Toronto, and he's getting old now.

He's in his late 30s now. Still 1.6. His face is in its 70s. He looks 87 years old. That's the thing. When he's a rookie, you're like, ooh, that guy looks terrible if he was 40. But by the time he's 40, you're like, that guy is elderly. Like, he's elderly.

That's an elderly man that they have out there. That guy looks terrible if he's 40. Someone should sit him on a bench in the mall and just have him hang out there. You know, go hang out down at the tire appliance shop. And it's hot in Texas. and they sent that face to Texas? Dry him right out. It makes him worse. Sucks it right out of him.

At least in Atlanta, he's getting the moisture put back in. You never know. So he ends up signing with the Toronto Blue Jays. Going back to Canada makes $1.9 million for the 96 season. That's incredible. He's still in high demand because he's a base dealer. There's not a lot of them, And he's got a track record. In Toronto, 96,

he hits.286 with 54 steals and one home run. He's doing what he's supposed to do still. That one home run coming up. Hit over.280, steal a bunch of bags and hit a home run. Throw that in for good measure. Swing for the fences, mister. So in 1997,

he is traded on August 12th. Real quick. Yeah. Every home run was an absolute accident, just so you know. Totally. He's like, there it is. He's trying to put one in midfield. I just picture a windy day.

Yeah. It's one of those where it's like wind's blowing out to right field. He goes with a pitch, and he's like, it's going. It just carried it. It just really scrapes over the wall like a line drive. Every one of them was an accident. He didn't ever hit like a 500-footer that he watched as he walked up the baseline. That didn't happen ever.

He hit it and hauled ass and got to almost second. And he was like, oh, it went out. Yeah, his coaches were like, no, no, it's good. And they were like making the whirl around. Go around, but slow it down. You can trot. You can trot. They say, you look like you're on cocaine running that fast all the time for no reason.

Jesus Christ. August 12th, he's traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers for a guy named Bobby Cripps, who never played a game in the majors. I looked him up, and he is a nobody. He hits.266 in 1997 combined on the both teams, because he's in Toronto and L.A. Hits.266, 59 steals. So even at 37, he can still move. That's amazing.

That's amazing. That's amazing. And two home runs. The power he's getting in this late career. Good God, watch out. Listen, I'm 35. Hey, everybody, move back. Otis is out. No, no, get back to the warning track.

He's coming. I'm 35, and I can't. I mean, if I had to outrun a pitcher that's- He could steal 60 bases. No way. No way. I don't think so. I'm a major league catcher.

Is it 38 feet? Or no, it's 60. 90 feet. Is it 90? Holy shit. 90 feet to each base. 60 bases? No way. Don't think so? No way. What is it, 38 feet? Or no, it's 60. 90 feet. Is it 90? Holy shit. 90 feet to each base. 60 is a little bit. No way.

No way I can do that. No way I can run 90 feet in the time that it takes a pitcher to turn around and toss a ball. No way. I could stop and they'd have to chase me back into the base, but I wouldn't even be sliding at that point. It would be a pickle situation every time. I don't know. I'm not sliding there. I'd look like Sid Bream.

That's an Atlanta reference for you baseball fans. He lumbered around to win a playoff series. It was Barry Bonds, missed the throw. Anyway, December 11, 1997, now after the 97 season, he signs with the Minnesota Twins. Oh, boy. And a one-year deal worth $2 million. He's still getting paid, man, for the 98 season.

It'll be 38. He's still getting paid. This has got to be something to do with the union contract negotiations. No. Somebody late in their career. No? No. I mean, they don't have a minimum.

A league minimum? They have a league minimum, but it's like $350,000 for rookies and shit. They're paying him $2 million a year at 38 years old. 38 years old. That's bananas. He's worth it, though. He had 59 steals the year before. Still bananas.

Yeah. If you want 60 steals in your lineup and some speed, right? You've got to pay $2 million. And that's what it is. People go, we need some speed. That's some speed right there. We can get him. He hasn't been busted for cocaine in like six years.

Hey, you know what? He might be 78. Have you seen him? Age is not a factor with this guy. That's what it is. They're like, this guy is fast as fuck for 72. If he was from the Dominican, I'd say he played until he was 86 years old. They lied about his age, and he played until he was 80.

When he came into the league, he was really only three. Right. Or he was, you know, he was 48, and they said he was three. And it's, yeah, it's ridiculous. But he's an American, so we're pretty sure his birth certificate's accurate. He's just hideous. So he has, in the 98 season with Minnesota, he hits 297 it's almost 300 in 110 games 37 steals which is still damn good and one home run he's still cranking him out he's on a power

tear on a tear he's got four in three years a tear uh now 1998 in the beginning of the season during that season here he he has a little – the reason why he only played 110 games is because he got kicked in the face in the beginning of the season. And it improved his looks. Yeah, he was never looked better because they bandaged him and they were like perfect. Perfect. Just like that. He's a model now.

Yeah. He was sliding into second base during a double play and Kansas City shortstop Felix Martinez kicked him in the face and broke his jaw by accident. Wow, broke his jaw. Yeah, broke his jaw. So he was out for a few weeks. Did he slide into second? Slid into second trying to break up a double play.

He got kicked, and the guy came out, Martinez came out and apologized. I didn't mean to kick him in the face, which he might have. He's in his old age now at this point, and he forgot when you break up a double play, you slide in feet first, you stupid fuck. You know what? The jaw is actually a better result because he could have broken a hip. Let's be realistic here.

He could have broken a hip. The man's geriatric. I don't know if he drank his Ensure that morning. His bones are brittle. He's got osteoporosis. Somebody listening may have seen that coming, but I sure the fuck didn't, and that's why I just laughed so hard. coming but i sure the fuck didn't and that's why i just laughed so hard oh my god okay go on that's awesome awesome awesome oh i love it so much man

he's such a mess so much fun tonight this is so great this is a good time man this guy otis nixon's a good time yeah and he's crazy, like, some interesting crime coming up too. We're going to, it's kind of, we have one incident that he has that's almost a callback to Jared Wyatt. Oh, terrific. It's a, it was, he almost had a Jared Wyatt situation. Really? I mean, this is our second guy, put it this way, it's our second guy who was naked with

a knife in less than a month. All right. That's a teaser for a little bit from now here. Let's get into this. Now, December 1st, 1998, he signs with Atlanta at age 40. He is 40. They give him $1.5 million for the 99 season. He has made so much money.

He's made a lot of money. He has made so much money. The 1997-1999 season, 84 games. He only hits 205. Still has 26 steals, though, at 40 years old. Somehow stealing bags. He's so fast. I guess it's that 2% body fat that Piazza finds so attractive.

Yeah, it's 17 years total he played in the majors. Crazy. 17 years. That's a great career. That's unbelievable. That's unheard of. Wait, the average career is like three years or something. So 17 years. Over the course of his career, he hits 270. So he's a great career. That's unbelievable. That's unheard of. The average career is like three years or something.

So 17 years. Over the course of his career, he hits 270. So he's a fine hitter. 11 home runs in 17 seasons. He doesn't even average one a season. No, no, no. That lets you know that all 11, 100% accident. Oh, yeah. The year he hit three, he was like, I don't know what the fuck's going on.

I just said, shit, windy out. He just guessed right. Windy. Yeah. He has 620 steals in his career, which is the big one. 658 OPS. But the 620 steals, he has the most steals for the least amount of at-bats in a career. Wow.

Like, for guys with under 6,000 at-bats, he's got the most amount of steals by a long shot, by like 100. Wow. Over the next guy with under 6,000 at-bats. Who's the next one? I steals by a long shot, by like 100. Wow. Over the next guy with under 6,000 at-bats. Who's the next one? I don't remember. It's an old guy. Not even Ricky Henderson?

Ricky Henderson's all-time leader. Okay, yeah, yeah. He's all-time, but he has a shitload of at-bats. Okay, that's what it is, yeah. He played for 26 years or some crazy shit, 23 years. He did, didn't he? Yeah, Ricky played until he was 45. Also a guy with a Coke problem.

Did he have a Coke problem? I'm pretty sure he did. I don't remember him getting busted for Coke, but he might have got suspended for Coke or some shit like that. But I don't remember any arrests. I'm pretty sure. Or else he'd be on my radar. I think I know that.

Now, career-wise, he ranks 16th all time in steals. Really? That's the history of baseball to this day. 16th. That's not when he retired. When he retired, he was way higher up the list. That's impressive as fuck. I think he was 7th when he retired or something. 8th or some shit like that. But 16th. That's not when he retired. When he retired, he was way higher up the list. That's impressive as fuck. I think he was seventh when he retired or something, eighth or some shit like that.

But 16th, that's impressive. He has the most steals for any player never named to an All-Star team. So that's an interesting thing. How about that? Never named to an All-Star team. You know why? Because the fans were voting MLB and they were like, I'm not voting for that ugly son of a bitch. Yeah, no doubt.

I don't want to see him anymore. No more. That's an extra day of baseball. Not that face. I don't want to see him. This is more. That's an extra day of baseball, not that face. I don't want to see him. This is just a joy, a fun day, the All-Star game. It's not a day to look at goblins. Let's not do that.

So of his career and on his career, we have an in their own words on his career here. This is basically on his off-field fuck-ups and his constant disaster here. He says, and he's talking about talking to the Braves GM, John Sherholtz. He says, in their own words, quote, I told John what happened is when you give a country boy that didn't have any money 10 million. I didn't know what to do. I was like a kid in a candy store. I believed everybody, bad, good, and everything.

Then I got caught off the field. I didn't know how to handle getting that much money. He has no fucking... Which makes sense. He's like, I don't know. I just went and partied. Kid in a nose candy store. Jesus. One moment I'm an ugly kid from the middle of nowhere. The next minute I'm marrying the champ's wife. I got it going on. This is great. Might as well start

some cocaine. Unbelievable. Here's something interesting that we're going to get into now. Ricky Anderson, just for the record, does not have a coke problem. No, I didn't think he did. I Googled it. He's just crazy. I thought he did. He's just insane.

Yeah. That's the thing with him. It's just the steroids. I'm pretty sure there was steroids. He was one of those guys. Yeah, maybe. That's possible. He was another guy who was built like a-

Oh, God. I mean, Piazza must have fucking jerked off on him a lot. His thighs were ridiculous. Yeah, he was built like a statue. He really was. He was wild. He had tree trunks for legs for real. He did.

The grooves and everything. You saw them through the fucking pants. It was ridiculous. Yeah, those giant quad muscles he had. All right, now we sound like Piazza. Let's calm down. Steve, put that thing away. Come on.

Jimmy, put it away, buddy. Not in the studio. Okay, let's go. Come on. The other people have to use the studio. The radio show is going to come in in the morning. They're going to be like, what the fuck happened? What is all this yogurt?

Why is my chair damp? Why is there yogurt on the seats? So now we know that Otis Nixon, he's got a Coke problem, obviously. He had one issue, but he's had it twice now. And you're pretty sure that that's going to bubble up again. At this point, he starts getting into charity, starts getting into religion, finds Christianity. No.

Hardcore. Oh, God. Guys, Junior, don't find fucking religion. He's breaking all the rules right now. He's getting married every time there's problems. Constantly. He just gets married whenever, just all the time. Son of a whim.

He doesn't give a shit on a whim. Unreal. So in the late 90s, now he's already divorced from Juanita here by the late 90s Juanita Leonard she's out of the picture that didn't last long obviously because no one can last with this lunatic as we'll get into the late 90s he befriends Whitney Houston what okay now we all know of Whitney Houston's well-documented problems with substances such as cocaine crack and that sort of thing and uh if you've ever heard not only just basic, any kind of documentary, any kind of news footage, but if you listen to Joey Diaz, the comedian, ever talk about he used to get cocaine for –

he used to live in the same area and he used to get cocaine for Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown. He did? Oh, yeah. I've never heard this story. It's on Joe Rogan. He talked about it. Amazing. He basically would get them like an ounce

a day. What? They were working on some show thing or something, but they'd give him their per diem money every day, which was like a grand. And he'd go get him a bunch of Coke, and he said, you know, I'd take a fucking bunch of money, and I'd steal some of the Coke, and I'd fucking give him whatever, and they didn't care. They just wanted to smoke a bunch of crack. He's like, every single day they wanted it, though.

Wow. That's what we're dealing with here. Whitney Houston's a mess at this point, especially. And she ends up, obviously, sadly, her life turned out very, very sad. Her life is as ugly as Otis's face. It really is. It really got ugly. And Whitney Houston, beautiful woman, too. Oh, my God.

These two hanging out, you can't get any more polar opposites. Even at her death. Yeah. Even when she died, she was still a beautiful girl. She was really pretty. And so you can't get any two more opposites than Whitney Houston and this goblin. But they have something in common. They both live in the same gated community in Atlanta, and they both like cocaine.

Love cocaine. But this is what, at this point, he is crediting Whitney Houston for helping him get into doing charity work and encouraging him along in his sobriety. He's crediting Whitney Houston for helping with sobriety. When Whitney Houston helps your life, you are fucked up. With sobriety. Yeah. That's insanity. That is fat shit.

You get as sober as me and you'll be fine. That's like asking Randy Woodfield to help with your sexual compulsions. Like, no, he's not going to help you. Look two episodes back. It's not going to work. It's just not going to work with your sexual compulsions. Like, no, he's not going to help you. Look two episodes back. It's not going to work. It's just not going to work. Oh, my God. They became so close that Whitney Houston and her children moved in with him.

What? In Atlanta. They lived in the same house. They were living in the same house. Apparently, there was a documentary coming out in March where he's on it heavily because of the whole Whitney Houston thing. It was all filmed then? No, no, no. It's all filmed now, talking about then. Oh, okay. Otis Nixon is on this

documentary a lot, talking about Whitney Houston because he knew her well, apparently, and lived in the same house with her. He said, quote, Whitney's daughter Bobby Christina moved in with my daughter Genesis. Wow. So Whitney Houston's dead daughter lived in his house with his daughter Genesis in the same room. Yeah, he was like, I like Sega.

She was born in the 80s. Yeah. Still. Genesis. Whatever. It was because she's the start of his happy life because he's fucking religious. What a dickbag. Yeah.

He's very religious, too. He has ministries. Oh, my God. It's wild. It's his bouncing from like, I'm into God. Shit, I'm under arrest. I'm into God. Oh, no, I'm fucked up again.

It's amazing over the next 15 years. His post-baseball life is beautiful, man. Now, so they live there. He says, like I said, Whitney encouraged him to be sober. Unbelievable. And do charity work, which he's very into charity work, I've got to say. Very much into it. which he's very into charity work, I've got to say.

Very much into it. Of course, it's kind of a little less relevant, your charity work, when you are doing cocaine and getting arrested for the shit that he's getting arrested for, as we're going to get into. Hope she didn't teach him how to take a bath, too. Oh. Glove, glove, glove. Let's hope not.

And let's hope his daughter didn't hang out with the other one, too. Now, that didn't work out well. Now, August 2000, Otis becomes friendly with one of his longtime neighbors. They live in the same gated community, and they both, unreal, they both are on the Trinity Broadcasting Network a lot. She has been on the Trinity Broadcasting Network for a while now. She is another one that kind of just found religion. He befriends Perry Pebbles Reed. Pebbles was

a pop star in the 80s. She had a few hit songs, R&B type songs. And then later on in the 90s, she became the manager of TLC. What? Yes, TLC. What? Yes, TLC, the big mega pop R&B group. Don't go chasing waterfalls, chicks. Yes, exactly.

She was their manager up until 1995 when they declared bankruptcy because they said her management group stole funds from them. Stole all their money. Yes. Oh, wow. This wasn't just Pebbles. Pebbles was their manager, but the whole management company was owned by her and her husband. It was a guy who they got a divorce at this point, too. And he's a shady character.

She was blaming him for it. So Pebbles here, pop star, TLC manager, and now Trinity Broadcasting Network. Because she found God. She found God. So now she's a personality on there, and she's singing gospel songs. This woman, unfortunately, has Otis walk into her life and steal something, I'm sure. He steals. He's a stealer.

They begin talking at a prayer meeting. Oh, boy. Which is, in our experience on this show, any professional athlete that meets a girl in a prayer meeting, run far away. Run far away. Because you found religion. Now you're finding a girl in religion, which is going to completely fuck everything up. So they begin talking.

She had only become a Christian in 1997. So she's a new Christian, but she said, hey, there's a career here. You betcha. I could be on TV doing this shit rather than, you know, working a regular job. Trying to swindle pop stars out of their cash. I'll just swindle. Trying to swindle crazy pop stars who burn down wide receivers' houses. And then crash cars and die.

And then crash cars and die. And then crash cars and die. It happens, man. So September 30, 2000. This is August 20th. It's August 2000. They started talking. September 30, 2000, Nixon and Reed get married. Oh, God.

He can't be with someone free. He's like, I just met you. I need to marry you now. He's so impulsive. He's made of cocaine. He's like a giant crack rock. That would explain the divots and the cuts. Oh, now. He's so impulsive. He's made of cocaine. He's like a giant crack rock. That would explain the divots and the cuts. He's a crack rock. There's so many marks

in his face. He's a crack rock. They get married in the Bahamas, too. He needs to go to the islands to get married all the time. He's an island man. Reed said she plans to keep working with the ministry and also to work with his ministry that he's got going on because he's got charities and Otis Nixon ministries. He marries him on the beach so that the sun's in their eyes and they can't see his face.

Imagine him squinting. That face squinting isn't good. She's like, yeah, I do, I guess. Shit. You got cocaine, right? Okay. You saved your money? Okay, good.

Fine. I'll marry you. You're a country boy with 10 mil. Let's do this. So now he's married to her. A couple of years goes by. He's working charity events. He's working for the Trinity Broadcasting Network. Robbing old ladies

out of their money. Exactly. He's doing all that sort of thing. Now, January 8th, 2004. Still married. Otis is at a Town Place Suites Hotel in Georgia. Sounds lovely. And it's not. It's a seedy motel from what we find out later on. There's no free

breakfast. No continental breakfast there. Otis had his bodyguard with him. What the fuck does he have a bodyguard for? What does he have a bodyguard for? Who is bothering Otis Nixon? Your face will scare anyone away. Why do you have a bodyguard? Nobody's going to believe that you played baseball.

No. You look like a crackhead. They'd say, when did you play baseball? With Babe Ruth? What are you, 116 years old? Look at you, you disaster. So he looked like he looked at Medusa and just turned to stone. Like, that's his face. So he's got his bodyguard, Kevin Brown, with him for some fucking reason. I don't know why.

He tells Brown to go out and pick up a female friend of his and bring her back to the room for him, basically. While driving, he takes off. Kevin Brown takes off to go pick the girl up. While he's driving, he gets a phone call from Otis Nixon saying, no, no, never mind. Turn around. Come back to the hotel. Go pick her up. Okay.

So who knows what's going on? Maybe he found somebody better. Maybe he changed his mind. Maybe he's going to stay faithful to his wife. Let's not get crazy now. Let's keep it light, Jimmy. Let's not make wild accusations like he'd be faithful to his wife or not do cocaine or something let's not be crazy

so brown said when he gets back to the room he opens the door and otis is naked as shit yelling into a cell phone like okay so he's totally naked walking around the room not sitting on the bed not under the covers just walking around like, where the fuck is my pizza? It's been 35 minutes. That's not what he said, but he's yelling into a cell phone. So Brown, feeling uncomfortable that his dong is swinging around in front of his face, asks him if he could please put some clothes on. Otis ignores him, continues to walk around the room with his dick swinging, yelling into

his cell phone. So Brown then asks him for money that he's owed. Later on – That's your second question? Because you put pants on. You're not putting pants on. Can I have money? Well, he's owed him money, and we find out – I didn't find this out.

This wasn't in any reports until the prosecutor who prosecuted this case wrote just like a little thing about Otis Nixon. Was like, you know, he seemed like a nice guy back then with a drug problem and talking about his time as a prosecutor. He said he remembered this incident and the altercation was over money for crack. Good God. Basically, Nixon sent him out to get him crack and the guy got him crack and then he was like, where's the money for the crack? And he was like, go fuck yourself. Like, that's what it was.

He owed him money for the crack he went out and got him. So that's why he's got a bodyguard. You owe money. I don't even know where my pants are. I can't find pants. I got a phone, though. So he also has another thing here because Brown asked for the money, and Otis becomes enraged.

Yeah. Enraged, puts his cell phone down because he needs to have his hands while he's, mind you, he doesn't even put a pair of boxers on. Still completely naked, arguing with him. First of all, if I get into an argument with a guy guy if me and you were talking and i'm naked for some reason then we start arguing i'm putting clothes on as we argue i don't feel comfortable being like yo fuck you man with my balls hanging out it's very vulnerable but i'm gonna tell you something if you tell me fuck you man with your dick out i'm like maybe fuck me i'm gonna walk away out of here all right you win

you win this one buddy this round goes to you. This round, we got this. So instead, he's completely naked. He grabs a kitchen knife from the room. He grabs a kitchen knife and chases Brown from the hotel room. No, don't do that. With the kitchen knife. Butt naked with a kitchen knife. This is our second guy in a very short amount of time who is butt-ass naked with a kitchen knife threatening somebody.

He also produces a black folding knife that he had somewhere. He takes that out. He's got two knives now. This is before they went out. He grabbed that, too. He's got two knives now, buck naked in the hallway threatening this guy. And he is heard to yell by tons of hotel guests, quote, I will cut your heart out. Otis Jr., Nixon Jr., folks.

I will cut your fucking heart out. So now he's butt naked threatening to cut a man's heart out. And I'm like, where have I heard this before? Holy shit. Jared Wyatt. And he's got three pieces that he's going to do it with. One of these knives or this dick. And he's Otis Nixon.

He's crazy. He's enraged. He's naked. He's on cocaine. Who knows if he's waiting on a woman's crazy he's enraged he's naked he's on cocaine he's who knows if he's you know waiting on a woman and all that it's insane body of a god the face of a goblin no shit yeah Mike Piazza's

looking down the hallway like shit is that oh yeah that's what I'm talking about I'm gonna beat to that Piazza's just hanging at the end of the hallway just like chewing on a toothpick slow stroking uh huh just staring licking his lips. Uh-huh, yeah, yeah.

Otis, do me a he's he's flipping 20s adam shitting making it rain making it rain he's like otis otis when you're approaching him if you

You know Piazza's done that shit before. You know he has. He has. He has. Good God. Hey, Otis. Fucking Mets. Otis.

So, I think he keeps the S long. Yes. Otis. Let me ask you something, Otis. Oh, my God. All right. So the police arrive, obviously, because people are like, hey, there's a crazy man naked with two knives threatening to cut a man's heart out in the fucking hallway. Even in a shit motel, that'll gain attention a little bit.

So he's, you know, obviously the police arrive. Now, Nixon claims that Brown was the aggressor. If two men are fighting and one of them's naked, the naked guy's the aggressor. Period. The guy with clothes on would have rather not had that altercation. Every single time. Naked man, always the aggressor. In public, mind you.

Not just in the room. You know what I mean? He left the room because of the knife and he followed him out. He's like, hey, get your dick back in the room. That's the aggressor every time. Every single time time he said that he was only naked because a woman was coming over gets right down to business doesn't he she was gonna walk in he's naked on the cell phone yeah come on over here do this i'm paying by the hour i'm not gonna waste some time taking clothes off not even a pair of pants and no shirt or some boxers or a pair of basketball shorts if he's lounging he's getting his money's worth. He sent the guard out, and he's like, all right, take my cock out and get ready.

All right, he'll be back here in about 20. One hour time starts soon as that door opens. Hold on, let me get it ready. Piazza, fluff me. Piazza, juggle my balls. Come on. I got you, Otis. I got you, Otis.

He's just under the bed. He pops out slow, and he's like, let me see those balls. Why don't you lower them down here? So Nixon. You know I'm good catching balls. You know nobody can catch like me. Made a career catching balls. Nobody.

Like my mullet. He had a fine mullet. I just found out he's a catcher. He's a catcher. He was a fucking catcher. He's a catcher. Nobody catches like me, Elvis. I'm an all-star.

I'm an all-star. Oh, this one's been fun. Let's go. This is good. So Nixon is arrested, obviously. He can't talk his way out. I fucking hope so. He always tries to talk his way out of shit.

He never just goes, that busted. He's always like, no, no, no, but I was this and it was me and it was the guy and he came with the thing and I don't know what happened. And now my dick's out. Cocaine. He runs away. So he's arrested. He's charged with aggravated assault, obviously.

He's taken to Gwinnett County Jail. He's in jail for like three days. He's finally released on $3,300 bail on that one. Now February 2004, this is the next month. He's still married, mind you. This is the next month. Yeah. He's still married, mind you.

Otis is arrested when police are called to his home because a woman called them on him because he had been inappropriately fondling her inside of his home. His wife? No. Some other broad. God, no. Some other chick. No. He's inappropriately fondling her, apparently, against her will.

A month after he's chasing a man threatening to kill him. So he's unstable at this point. He's doing cocaine again. It's unwinding. It's unwinding. Rapidly. Quickly. He's arrested and charged with misdemeanor sexual battery, which he's probably lucky it's a misdemeanor.

No doubt. Judging by his criminal record, too. So big shocker, a couple months after that, Otis and Pebbles divorce. He's like, okay, so you've been arrested naked trying to cut a man's heart out and fondling a woman in our home. Yeah, we're going to call this a day. Thank you. I'm going to go back to the ministry and we're going to fucking work this out. I'm going to go steal from old ladies and you just do whatever you do.

I'll steal from old ladies since TLC's all dried up. I stole everything I could out of them. Yeah, music manager and then evangelist. You can't get any more shady than that unless they were a boxing promoter. It would be the only other way that you could get worse. And she promotes fights on the side. That would be the only other way that you could get worse. And she promotes fights on the side. That'd be the only other way she could be shady at this point. Oh, that's awesome.

Now, October 15, 2004, Otis is arrested again. He's stacking. He's stacking right now. He's arrested when his bond for sexual battery is the bond is revoked because he missed a court date because he's a fucking moron. Dumb, dumb. So you gotta go for your court dates, jackass. You're telling me he's

not reliable to keep a schedule? date because he's a fucking moron. Dumb, dumb. So you got to go for your court dates, jackass. You're telling me he's not reliable to keep a schedule? No, he's not reliable at all. And he has, like I said, he has three kids now. He's got three kids. He's got two, three wives, three wives and an ex-girlfriend that he's had kids with. Probably never paid nothing or anything. Piazza's been eyeballing his cock forever and he can't get a piece of it. He's assaulted a woman, threatened to cut a man's heart out, let the entire city of

Atlanta down in the 91 World Series, cost them a goddamn parade. I feel bad for all these people, Jimmy. I feel so bad for all these people. No way. But not nearly as bad as I feel for Otis Nixon, independent arts and crafts professional in Norfolk, Virginia. How about that? And of course Otis Nixon, an automotive

repair professional in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They actually are having better lives than this Otis Nixon. Somehow. Somehow. A mechanic in fucking New Mexico. As if that life isn't bad enough, he happens to have that fucking name. Like Otis Nixon.

Ooh, you're ugly. Thank God he didn't have Otis Jr. Nixon Jr. as his fucking name. Poor guy. No one is that stupid except for his parents here. Now, December 19th, 2005, he is arrested again for violation of his probation because he's a fucking idiot

and he has to be arrested for everything again. He's just constantly... Every mugshot's worse, too. It's like a flipbook. It's a fucking idiot and he has to be arrested for everything. Again, he's just constantly, every mugshot's worse too. It's like a flip book. It's a flip book, man. Started at 87 and flipped to 2016. You're going to go, oh my God, I watched that man die and then decompose. It's amazing. It looks like he got caught on, it's like if you strike a match and then you put it

out in water, let it dry out and then light match and then you put it out in water, let it dry out, and then light it up again, put it out in water, and then just keep doing that over and over again. It just deteriorates. That round tip just slowly turns into a point. That's his head. And it's getting smaller, his head, too. It is like a raisin. The weird part about his hairline

is that it's starting to recede, but in seven different spots yeah yeah you know people get those two little spots he's just got a little hair yarmulke on top of his crusty disgusting head yeah he's got tentacles he's got hair tentacles looks like somebody took half an orange and then just set it on his head and all those spots where it splits oh god that's it is what it looks like and he went that, that's hair now. That works for me. Now, through this time, past 2005,

while all this is going on, he is still a major contributor to the Trinity Broadcasting Network. So he's working the Christian scene. He's godding it up with all this shit going on. Oh, by the way, while all this is going on, he has some serious charity work. He's got his ministry. He's got the otis nixon

foundation wow we'll get into some of his deals here some of them are legitimate some are legitimate not all uh october 22nd 2009 he releases a book of course of course he does because what's it called keeping it real oh boy he is full of shit on every aspect ever keeping it real no you're not keeping shit real. What you're doing is ruining people's lives and including your own. What year was that? 2009. 2009.

October 22nd. That is after Dave Chappelle's When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong. Oh, yeah. Way after. He was like, I like that phrase, keeping it real. Yeah, that's good. I'm going to use that. I feel like that's what he says.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, keeping it real. When keeping it real goes wrong, brother. You turn into Otis Nixon. That's what happens when'm going to use that. I feel like that's what he says. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep it real. When keeping it real goes wrong, brother. You turn into Otis Nixon. That's what happens when keeping it real goes wrong. Unreal, man. And this is when Otis knew he fucked up. He fucked up. Now, we have an in their own words on the book.

We have an in their own words on the book and everything, how he feels about why he's releasing this book. He says, in their own words, quote, I made some boo-boos off the field. Well, no shit. Some boo-boos. He's hilarious. I made some boo-boos.

It happens. Sometimes you threaten to cut a man's heart out. These things happen. What a boo-boo. You can be the best man in the world, best businessman, best writer, best baseball player, and it's still challenging to be a better man. You don't have to make the mistakes I made, that Tiger made, that some of the presidents made, that some of the governors made. And at the end of the day, I've got a book on how to and how not to.

Oh, boy. Let's unpack that shit, okay? First of all, boo-boos, amazing. Second of all, when he said best businessman, best writer, best baseball player, I feel like he was sitting in the room with a businessman and the writer was interviewing him and he's a baseball player. And those are the only three professions you could think of. It's like you could be the best. Bob's a businessman. Like his agent was there.

You're a writer, a baseball player. Had no other job lined up for that. Second of all, he brings up, I love how he compares himself to Tiger Woods. Best at his profession possibly ever. On a completely different stratus than Otis fucking Nixon. Presidents and governors. Or jerk-off crackheads

who just marry people after a month and then threaten to stab people when they didn't get to have sex with a prostitute. They got super lucky to play in a league at the time that they needed speed so fucking bad. That's what I'm saying. They needed it and that was perfect that's unreal though unbelievable that statement i'm just like did he just say because he thinks he's like a legitimate dude yeah in his mind he's like no no

i am a straight and narrow guy everyone should see that by my records obviously clearly clearly now in 2010 otis gets married again. Oh, God. Again. After another short, short courtship here. It's unreal, man. He marries a gospel singer at this point and former disco singer named Candy Statton. Okay.

She also works for Trinity Broadcasting Network. He doesn't get around. She is 19 years older than him and looks 10 years younger than him. Wow. She's 70 years old. She looks way younger than him. When I saw him, I was like, oh, he did well for himself. And then I'm like, oh, shit, she's 20 years older than him. And he looks way worse than her.

Unblue. Way fucking worse. Yeah. Staten covered Stand By Your Man in 1970, which was a big hit. You know, the Tammy Wynette song had a 1976 hit called Young Hearts Run Free, which was a disco song. It made it to like number 30 in the UK. So she had some success.

And she's been a gospel and Christian singer since the late 70s, though. And she is in the Christian Music Hall of Fame. Oh, this woman. So she's very, very, very big in that world. Wow. Yeah. Otis is her sixth husband. Oh, my God.

So she missed whatever part of religion said not to get repeatedly married and divorced. I don't know what part that was. She just skipped that part of the Bible. In her defense, maybe she was getting, maybe she just picks the wrong dudes. She's marrying Otis. Clearly, she doesn't have the best judge of character. No, she married. One guy was a musician. Other guy, she married one guy who was a musician.

Other guy, she married like a Harvard graduate who was like a pianist or something. And then she would marry like a thug. She really had a vast array of marriages. Maybe those pianists are mean fucking guys. Maybe. Now, October 2010, he just got married. October 2010, local people in Jersey, Georgia form a group to stop Otis from using a home that he purchased. He purchases a home at 3330 Daly Road, and he wants to start a halfway house to help people coming out of jail.

And his charity recently filed a zoning, a thing to have it zoned so he could do that. And the local people freak out. The neighbors are like, no, don't do that. They form a group to protest the situation. And it was in Georgia? It was in Georgia. And he ends up definitely having halfway houses, as we'll get into. So they don't stop him.

Now, his charity worked in 2011. Otis Nixon and John Rocker together. Oh, my God. Hi, welcome the two biggest idiots in the history of the Braves, everybody. How you doing? Not just John Rocker, but John Rocker to get these two. Oh, my God. Hi. Welcome to Two Biggest Idiots in the History of the Braves, everybody. How you doing? Not just John Rocker, but John Rocker's wife. Everything involved in John Rocker's life is fucking crazy. So these two address a group of college baseball players in South Carolina.

Basically, the importance of not being a jerk off and staying away from drugs. Hi. Wasn't it John Rocker's wife that said, if he ever cheats on me, I'll fuck his whole team? I don't know if that was his wife. I think it was his wife. I don't know. I'm more familiar with his statements.

They're wacky. I'm pretty sure it was John Rocker's wife. And you know Rocker said a racial slur about Nixon under his breath during the thing. He's like, thank you for hanging this fucking thing around. What was that? Oh, nothing. Nothing, buddy. Nothing.

It's all good. Sorry. I just can't help myself. Unbelievable. Now, early in 2011, his ministry, On Track Ministries, On Track, he calls his ministry. I'm on track, man. Oh, boy. On Track Ministries, his ministry and him, because he is the sole whatever of On Track.

He called his ministry, I'm good now. I'm good now in ministries. So, I'm good. They are fined $1,090 by the state of Georgia for running an unregistered, unlicensed halfway house. Wow. He just said, I'll just open a halfway house with no license. I'm going to call that charity. That's charity now.

Yay. So he's a fucking moron. Doesn't go through the proper channels. Doesn't stop everyone else, though. March 2nd, 2012, he's the keynote speaker at Coastal Horizons Annual Fundraising Luncheon in Wilmington, North Carolina. Polite Society keeps inviting this guy back. No kidding. Constantly.

Wait till you hear some of the events he does here. He used to talk about winning his battle with addiction. That's all he's going to talk about. Winning my battle with cocaine. I got a feeling you're not winning anything, sir. Winning. He's winning the battle with cocaine. Jimmy, he's winning.

He's fine. He had a couple of speed bumps but he's fine jesus piazza stroked it right out of him don't worry december 12 2012 candy divorces him that lasted two years done she's done uh we'll have some words on from her on that marriage and exactly what happened there because there she had some uh interesting interesting things to say about him now he says on the whole religion and charity, everything like that, we have an in their own words. Great. He says in their own words, quote, God has called me.

I've been chosen. I was chosen for this, not knowing it. I have a passion for helping people. I'm an evangelist. I don't have a church and members. I go from church to church. I have an outreach ministry. I'm a regular on TBN,

Trinity Broadcast Network. I do a lot of traveling trying to help people wherever I can. So, I am good now. I am good now. Everything is fine, right? No problem. Read that again. No problem. Read that again. Which part? Which part? The part that he,

right before, I'm an evangelist. Oh, he said, I have a passion for helping people. Yes. A passion. Of course. I'm an right before, I'm an evangelist. Oh, he said, I have a passion for helping people. Yes. A passion. Of course. I'm an evangelist. I'm an evangelist. I don't have a church of members.

I go from church to church. I have an outreach ministry. Jesus called me. Called me. I'm not one of these pussies that sits in a church waiting for people to come to me. I go to them. I was naked. I had two knives, and I was on a cell phone screaming at God.

Listen here, Lord, make me not so ugly. What'd you do to me? So February 12, 2013, Nixon's ministry has been working with the prison system, finding reentry homes for released convicts in his ministry's halfway house. His program is no longer approved by the state, though, even though Nixon boasts about friendships with both former governor, governor at that time, Nathan Deal, and parole board head James Donald. He brags about these things to people because he's been running a little bit of a scam. Uh-oh. This is what ends up happening. Nixon has been offering his halfway house and telling prisoners' family members

that he can help with the parole board and then help get them on their feet with his halfway house afterwards. Because look at me. I have a ministry. I'm a nice guy. It's only going to, you know, there's some feet. You know, I need to take care of some stuff. So it's going to cost you like $750, $1,000.

That's what he would do. He's taken money from people when parole wasn't even an option for them. Wow. He lied to them and said, oh, I know the governor and I know the parole board. I can get parole as an option. I can get parole and into my halfway house. house, going to cost you $1,000. And see, there may be good evangelists out there. There may be great preachers that are very good-hearted people. There's people that want to help people.

It's all they want to do. They're really people with huge hearts. There really is. But then there are people like Otis that will fucking prey on people that are down and out, like old ladies that are just trying to get their son out of jail and trying to buy their way into heaven. Absolutely. And they're giving their money to the preacher.

And then they want to help their nephew that stole a fucking car. You know it, man. That's exactly what it is. And he's fucking robbing them blind. What a scumbag. That's what it is. And it's not even like this is alleged. This is an alleged thing.

This is all fucking documented. A Fox 5 reporter in Georgia. Who is this reporter? A guy named Randy Travis, not the musician. I love you, Randy. Randy Travis posed as a person trying to get a family member out of jail. And they have video footage and everything. He was told that Otis said, well, I only have two beds left.

So if you pay a little extra, I only have two beds left, you know, so if you pay a little extra, I can make it happen. Promised to get him out of jail using connections in addition to getting him into the halfway house if he just paid him a little bit extra. And so Otis thought he had scammed a guy good. He walks outside and there are six cameras there. The whole thing is on. You're on TV.

They put a mic in his face. What do you think about what you just did? He fucking bolts out of there because he's fast. He's like, I see second base. I'm going. Forever and ever. Amen. That's awesome.

Un-fucking-real, man. That's what he's doing there. So that's his nice scam with that. There's a guy that's – sorry. I was just going to go on a tangent anyway. Randy Travis, who he's who that reporter is great. Absolutely. Named fantastic.

He's absolutely named after the country singer. Maybe. And that is a man whose face rivals Mr. Otis Nixon. Oh, yeah. He's terrible. Holy shit. Was he a horrific looking man? He's white Otis Nixon.

He's white Nixon. Now, Otis Nixon here. If you want to help out a nice cause, there's the Otis Nixon Foundation. This is amazing. On Yelp, it's got a Yelp page. Oh, boy. And an Angie's List page, too. No reviews on either one, though.

It is listed as a life coach company. So get your life advice from him. Yeah. Well, here's what I would do. I'd do cocaine. I'd lie to everyone. I'd be a sex object for Mike Piazza. And if you meet a woman, marry her in a month.

Always. Just marry her. Quick. Here's how to be a life coach. Don't fucking do it. Don't participate in any of that shit. Not this guy, at least. Here's a life coaching tool.

Get a job. Get another job. Then get another job. Then another one. And every one of them should be better and pay better. That's your job. That's life coaching. That's all it takes. There might be people that can help people though, that can give people better advice, but not this fucking guy.

Everything he does is wrong. That's all you need is a life coach. That is all you need. Don't do drugs. Raise your kids. Be a good person. It's simple. Good job, good job, good job good job good job keep getting better jobs work less do it more that's the job that's the fucking life coach if you need to hear this right from otis you can go on amazon.com and you can buy his book keeping it real oh boy uh you can get there's 10 of 10 copies used for uh from one cent uh four new from 59

dollars and 66 cents for brand new ones. I don't know what the fuck they're thinking. What the fuck? And two, quote, collectible ones for $9.95. I looked. One of them had a signed poster of Otis Nixon in it. So you get a signed poster for $10. The book came with a poster?

Yeah, and then he got it signed, too. So he's got a signed poster of Otis Nixon in his book. So you can get an autograph and a book for $9.95 here from there. Now, on May 5th, 2013, shortly after midnight, a driver on the Interstate 575 in Cherokee County called 911 to report a Dodge Ram truck weaving and driving erratically on the road. So a sheriff deputy and a state trooper pull over the truck. Guess who it is?

Randy Travis? No! Surprising enough. So a sheriff deputy and a state trooper pull over the truck. Guess who it is? Randy Travis? No. Surprising enough. It's Otis, but then they thought it was just Otis, and then Mike Piazza's head popped off. And they're like, what's this all about? He's getting a hummer and swerving. And swerving.

So police pull him over because of that. They're like, hey, you were swerving. He goes, no, he's got a female friend with him. He's like, no, I was just taking my friend home here, and I wasn't swerving. I don't know what you're talking about. about what's her name i don't know that that was never said so yeah because he doesn't know it either it's cinnamon or sugar you know it's a prostitute police pull him out of the car they search him up a little bit they find a crack pipe in his pocket surprise surprise this is 2013 a crack pipe in his pocket then when they shine the flashlight and they see crack rocks all over the car.

He took a bag of crack and just flung it around the car like if I'll just mush it into the carpet, like my shit's dirty, they won't notice it. They're just picking crack rocks up off the seats, off the floorboards, crack rocks everywhere, all over the car. So the deputy writes in the report, and that's not the funny part about this, Jeremy. This isn't the funny part. The funny part is his excuse for it. Awesome. He's always got an excuse. Always. This is from the

sheriff's deputy's report. He says, quote, Otis admitted to me that the substance was crack cocaine but said it didn't belong to him. Otis said the crack cocaine and pipe belonged to his son. Oh my God. He tells the cop and he tells police that no, no, no. I found my

son with this drug so I took it out of the house and I'm going to get rid of it. That's what he told them. He's like, I'm Otis Nixon. I'm driving crazy because I can't believe it's all over this truck. Here's my card, Otis Nixon Ministries. I'm trying to get my son in the straight and narrow and I find crack in his room and now I've got to throw it out. And they're like, wow, that's terrible. Yeah, but we still have to look in the truck more and just claim he was doing that.

Just trying to help the kids, man. That's all he does. I think he expected them to let him go with that. But they went, oh, no, no, you're Otis Nixon. You get busted for crack all the time. They don't believe him and they continue to search the truck. Guess what they find? Another crack pipe.

Oh, my God. Was that another one you were going to throw out? Oh, guess what? A baggie of cocaine with residue on the floor. Cocaine residue on the floor. And guess what else they find? More crack rocks. More.

So they don't believe his story, obviously. How much shit did you find in your son's room? They cuff him and put him in the back of the car. So, you know, someone gets arrested. They're sitting in the back and the cop's, like, doing their paperwork and computer work up on the thing while they're sitting back there. While the deputy is doing that, Otis turns. He's got his hands cuffed, but he can reach. He turns and hands the deputy another bag of cocaine that he had on him that they didn't find.

Since I'm going away for a while. Because if you don't say it then, then it's another charge because it's contraband down at the prison. It's another charge. So he's experienced enough in the system to know that, first of all. the prison it's another charge so he he's experienced enough in the system to know that first of all hey how much do you guys have there because uh yeah i might have some more in case this isn't a complete fucking felony forever at this point i just picture him like looking down the way like here you go i got this will this make it will this make it trafficking yeah like when frankie the crime and sports dog has like a shoe and she comes at me like i have this shoe i

know i'm in trouble i'm like you motherfucker you motherfucker. That's what it is, basically. I have this cocaine. So he's charged with possession of cocaine and a drug-related object. He's released after a couple days on an $18,880 bond. My God. What? I mean, how does he? It's unreal.

I mean, he's got to be lost. He's released on the bond. He's wandering the streets. What's he going to do at this point? Where is he going? Where is he going? Maybe he's hungry. He's very skinny. He's had a lot be lost. He's released on the bond. He's wandering the streets. What's he going to do at this point? Where is he going? Maybe he's hungry. He's very skinny.

He's had a lot of cocaine. He's very hungry. He's gaunt. He needs some protein. Yeah, he needs some lamb. He opens the door, and it's the shawarma man. And he says, How is it you've come to arrive here?

What the fuck is your problem, man? I don't curse. I'm from place, no curse. I believe in religion. You know bad, you bad. Sign say closed. No, you cannot have prisoner sleep on top of my table. No, I will not allow it on my court.

No, I don't have any relative in jail. Get out of shot. No, sign say closed. You go. You go Get out of shot. No. Sign say closed. You go. You go. Hold on. You leave a trail of crack rock. Why you do that?

Why? Take crack rock with you. What do I? Gone. Otis Nixon. How is it? Good Christ almighty. How is it you fucking come to arrive here?

That's unbelievable. That's so much crack. So much crack. All over the truck. It's in his pockets. He's got two crack pipes and then pulls it back. Just in case I ran out of crack. Boom.

Got this, too. Here's some more. So they're like, I thought this was your son's. It obviously isn't my son's. So June 9th, as if things aren't going bad enough for him here, June 9th, 2003, there's a fire. Or June 9th, 2013. Very good.

Thank you. There's a fire at his home that he owns. He doesn't live there, but he owns a home in Ackworth, Georgia, and his home is burned to the ground. Nixon's son used to live there, but at the time of fire, it was a guy named Mike Mosley that lived there. There was a dispute with a neighbor, and the neighbor was arrested and admitted to burning the house to the ground. So his ex-neighbor burned his house to the ground also. He had nothing to do with that one. This is not on him.

He wasn't like cooking up crack rocks and burning the thing down and nothing like that. That would be a great story though. Absolutely. So August 13, 2013, he's indicted for the drug charges for May for all that crack and cocaine because good Christ. January 18, 2014, he is arrested for violation of probation. Wow. They pick him up early in the morning. He got probation for all that?

He was on probation still. So this is a violation of another violation. He might not have met with his officer. There's a million ways to violate. So they pick him up early in the morning on January 18th. He's held until January 22nd. Wow. So he's there until he gets out on bond.

I don't know why. Now, in November of 2014, Candy Statton starts talking. Oh. His ex-wife there. Fantastic. This one is 20 years older. She gives an interview saying that. She's heard some stories.

She tells some stories. She gives an interview saying that she, quote, knew the marriage was over two weeks after I said I do. Wow. So this did not last long. Otis is a disaster. We got back on a plane from the Bahamas to America, and I was like, this was a bad idea. Shit, was I drunk when I did this?

She says of the marriage, quote, it was hell on earth. My God, it was the most terrifying and devastating time in my whole life. I was going through the fires of hell trying to figure out how to live with him, then trying to find a way out of that crazy marriage. That's a religious lady that just said that. She's too religious. Fires of hell. My God. There's a bunch of shit.

This is like some fire and brimstone being married to Otis Nixon. She details his substance abuse, his verbal abuse, physical abuse, everything. He's a nightmare to her. Treated her horribly. Unbelievable. Big shocker. He's a fucking cokehead. So April 2015, this is after all this, after all these arrests, Otis volunteers at a kid's camp.

Big old fluff piece on him. What? The kids love Otis here. It's somewhere in Georgia. It's a 5- to 12-year-old baseball camp. It's a big fluff piece on how he's so great with the kids and they love him. They don't mention it at all. Oh, by the way, he's probably got cocaine in his pocket when he's talking to these kids and he sneaks away for a crack pipe.

On his floorboard. in his pocket when he's talking to these kids and he sneaks away for a crack pipe. It's all over on his floorboard. Wednesday, September 23rd, 2015 at the Ironwood Country Club in Greenville, North Carolina. They have a big event for charity. It is the, Jesus Christ, the Otis Nixon Celebrity Golf Classic. What? The Otis Nixon Celebrity Golf Classic. Shouldn't the person it's named after at least be a fucking celebrity other than forgetting bad things happening to you?

They're having a charity tour with this guy's name on it. Wow. Like it never happened. Like he didn't just keep getting busted. Like his wife didn't say he does tons of drugs and beats the shit out of her and yells at her. What the fuck? And just two years ago he was arrested in a Dodge Ram with cocaine falling out of it. He was doing a prison scam through his charity, acting like he was helping people.

He was scamming charity before that. What the fuck? On his charity work. We have it in their own words for it on this whole thing. He loves it. He says in their own words, quote, I have a gift. Just like the gift I had to play baseball, I have a gift in the ministry. It's my duty and my calling to give back, most importantly to the kids.

I try to lead by example now. I try to teach the kids how to stay on track. Oh, boy. I'm good now. November 25, 2015, a Dodge Chargers pulled over for driving erratically. He likes Dodge vehicles. The driver was 16 and has no license. Oh, my God.

There are also two 15-year-olds and an 18-year-old in the car. The officer smells weed and finds six grams of weed in the car. They also find a BB gun rifle with a blue bandana wrapped around it like they thought they were gangbangers with a BB gun. What does this have to do with Otis, you might be asking? Is this car registered to Otis Nixon? Not even registered. The aforementioned Dodge Charger is a rental car. Oh, my God.

Rented to Otis Nixon. Oh, my God. So you think, okay, these kids stole the car. Yeah, yeah. These are jerk-off kids. They stole the car. Otis' body is somewhere. That's what the police said, too.

They must have stole the car. Nope. Until the 16-year-old reaches in his pocket and produces a letter written and signed by Otis, giving the child permission to use his rental car. This kid does not have a license. Otis doesn't know how... Obviously, you can't authorize an unlicensed minor to drive your car, no matter

how religious you are. You don't write a note to the police. No matter how sexy you are to Mike Piazza, no matter how much God loves you, no matter how much charity work you do, no matter how many wives you've had, you cannot make that person older and licensed by your will. How does the 16-year-old not go, Otis, Uncle Otis, I don't have a license? Because he's like, shit, this guy's famous.

I'll write you a license. Yeah. He's a baseball player. He thinks he can write driver's licenses. He's a big shot. He tells everyone he's friends with the governor. He thinks he's above the law. And the kids are like, oh, it's Otis' car.

It's no problem. And the car was swerving all over the place. Oh, my God. So Otis ends up getting arrested. I would hope so. For letting an unlicensed driver drive and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Because he said, and I quote, and I quote, I try to teach the kids how to stay on track. Because I love the kids.

I love them. Drive when you don't have a license, and while you do it, have drugs on you. That's very important. That's an important part of it. And then have some weapons in the car that makes it look like you're a gang member. Yeah, really get it working. And then, don't worry, I'll write a note, and it'll make it all go away. I think the cop would be like, oh, Otis Nixon says you're a good driver, so it's fine.

Plus, it's a rental car. You're not allowed to let other people drive. It's not even your car, man. There's a million reasons why that's not okay. Unreal. So he's released on $ car, man. There's a million reasons why that's not okay. Unreal. So he's released on $2,500 bond at that point. And that's where we are right now. If you want to get yourself, OtisNixon.com used to be his website.
