Take a quick listen to all of the shows on the Mouthy Michiganders A.K.A. The Bang Dang Network!

In this episode of Outlaws and Gunslingers, we take a look at Charles "Black Bart" Boles. During his "career" as an outlaw, he is said to have robbed at least 28 stage coaches. One thing separates him from others outlaws though, he supposedly never fired his weapon during a robbery or used swear words. Follow his story from mining for gold in California, to serving for the Union Army in the Civil War all the way to his very last robbery. As usual, we give you info all while adding some entertainment to the story!

**DISCLAIMER** There is a wood pellet stove running where we recorded this, and for some reason our new mic picks it up and makes a buzzing noise. Bare with us. In this episode of Sports History, we have March 2nd through March 8th! Some things that happened this week are: Wilt Chamberlain has his 100 point game. Cassius Clay changes his name to Muhammad Ali after converting to Islam. Shaq is born, Payton Manning retires and much much more!

Week 45 and one week removed from Hogan and The Outsiders shocking the world, we have two pretty decent main events. First up on RAW, it's Shawn Micheals vs. Billy Gunn for the WWF World Heavyweight Title. Then on Nitro, it's Lex Luger vs. Big Bubba Rogers. Also, for the first time since Bash at the Beach, Hulk Hogan appears on Nitro, dressed in black and challenges the Giant for the World Heavyweight Championship. Make sure to watch it with us!

It's finally here! We have made it the 1996 Bash at the Beach and the moment that pro wrestling changed forever! After weeks of terrorizing the WCW, The Outsiders finally get their match against WCW's best 3 guys, Sting, Lex Luger and Macho Man. Then, out of nowhere Hulk Hogan comes out and shocks the world! The next night on Nitro, they drop the ball as Hogan doesn't even show up, but the Outsiders say he will be here next week. We also have the main event of Sting vs. Arn Anderson. Over on RAW we have a dud of match. After taping with the same crowd for 4 straight events, this one really sucked. Unfortunately, we had to watch, and it's Bulldog/Vader vs. The Godwinns. The monday night matches are nothing special, but be sure to join us for that Bash at the Beach main event!

We are back with another edition of Outlaws and Gunslingers! In this one, we take a look at little known town Las Vegas. No not THAT Las Vegas, this is Las Vegas, New Mexico. Originally part of Mexico, the town was taken over by the US Army in 1846. From there the town continued to grow and after the railroad reached it, it rivaled cities like Denver in terms of size. Naturally when you get a lot of people coming to town, some of those are bound to be bad guys. Join us we go from the beginning of the town to it's outlaws and people trying to stop them all the way to what the town has become in present day. Some say this town was even more wild than the popular cities of the West you have heard of, listen and judge for yourself!

It's the go home show for Nitro heading into the historic Bash at the Beach! But up first, we have the main event of RAW, it's Goldust vs. Marc Mero with Stone Cold on commentary. Over on Nitro we have a couple appearances by the Outsiders, including almost getting into a brawl with the WCW roster. For the main event, it's an 8 man tag match between the Four Horsemen and Joe Gomez, Renegade, and the Rock n Roll Express! It's about to go down next week!

We got some random sports talk to start the show, including a little about the XFL. Then, we move into Sports History for the week of February 24th through March 1st with notable events such as: Muhammad Ali TKOs Sonny Liston to earn his first title, the NCAA cancels SMU's entire 1987 season for rules violations, a basketball game is televised for the first time, and many more notable events of the week! Finally, to end the show we have another installment of Trials and Tribulations of a Michigan Sports Fan!

AUSTIN 3:16 SAYS I JUST WHIPPED YOUR ASS! In one of the most iconic promos ever, we witness the King Of The Ring '96 final of Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Jake "The Snake" Roberts. It was the after match promo where Austin 3:16 was born! On the June 24th 1996 edition of RAW we have the Stone Cold push continuing when he battles the Undertaker. Meanwhile, on Nitro, the Outsiders are back and we have a triple threat tag team match for the titles with Sting/Luger vs. Steiner Brothers vs. Harlem Heat. Make sure to watch it with us!

It's starting to heat up! Kicking off week 41, we have The Outsiders teaching Eric Bishoff a lesson at The Great American Bash followed by the main event of Giant vs. Lex Luger for the World Heavyweight Championship. The next night on the June 17th 1996 edition of Nitro, give us the main event of Giant vs. Scott Steiner, also for the title. Then wrapping things up with the same nights RAW we have Goldust vs. Jake the Snake Roberts. Just a couple more weeks until the Bash at the Beach and the wrestling landscape forever changing!

In our second installment of Outlaws and Gunslingers we take a look at the Dalton Gang. Founded by three brothers, Bob, Grat and Emmett Dalton, their gang mainly robbed trains. Take the journey with us from their early days of stealing horses, their first train robbery that didn't go as planned all the way up to their last job, a double bank robbery that left 8 people dead in the streets. Not quite as famous as some of the names you hear about during the wild west days, but every bit as dangerous! Got any wild west topics you want us to talk about?

We take a look at the second week of the XFL season, the NBA naming to the All Start MVP after Kobe Bryant as well as take a look at the standings at the All Star break. Then, things get a little heated as we discuss the Astros and their sign stealing scandal. We also got sports history for the week of February 17th through February 23rd plus much more! 

It's week 40 and the June 10th 1996 editions of RAW and Nitro are here! Up first on Raw we have Undertaker vs. The British Bulldog, and Nitro brings us Arn Anderson and Ric Flair challenging Sting and Lex Luger for the Tag Team Titles. And we will find out what Scott Hall's "big" surprise is! Watch it with us!

On the debut of our Outlaws and Gunslingers series, we take a look at probably the first well known gunslinger in the Wild West: Wild Bill Hickok! Take a journey with us from his early days as a scout for General Custer, his many U.S. Marshall and Sheriff stints, his legendary confrontations, all the way up to that fateful day in a saloon in Deadwood.
