• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, back with Randy. Hey, Randy, before we get
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: into your plays, I put a tweet up in honor
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: of Malik Beasley pleading guilty to gambling today. I never
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: seen that video, though. Malik Beasley was really upset. I
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: guess he told his buddies over three and a half rebounds.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: He did not get that rebound with like 13 seconds left.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: You could see he's visibly upset. Then luckily enough, he
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: did get the last. I don't even know how that
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: fast he got the last rebound. We were lucky to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: get it. But I never seen the video. Did you?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw it a few times when they were
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: suspecting him of gambling allegations. And just crazy, these sports people.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: You know, the NBA and then, of course, the major
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: leagues with these pitchers throwing a ball.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Wow. You know, why give up your livelihood and now
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: the NBA? You know, they think.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: They're not going to be caught. And now, you know,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: guys that are making millions of dollars, what are they thinking?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: How much money can you get down a player prop?
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, exactly. Crazy.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Let's go into your NFL last week. That might have
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: been your first losing week on the show this year.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: It was one and two and two broke the streak, unfortunately. Yeah,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: could have had that Saints game. Of course, the Raiders
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: didn't really show up with their defense.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: No, the Raiders were wrong.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: You know, Saints game had a bad second half.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: What was the Saints final score? 16-10. 16-10, yeah.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: We were getting three and.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: A half, yeah. Yeah, that field goal at the end.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: And missed the field goal, yeah.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Missed the field goal, yeah. All right, what do you
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: got this week to bury everyone with?
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: All right, first game, Baltimore-Buffalo.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take the Bills here, kind of against
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: these model people. You know, sometimes these model guys, they
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: get obsessed with a certain team. And Baltimore, last couple years,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: has been one of them. You know, sometimes we make
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: a joke. Sometimes these model guys need a reboot. But
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: we'll see if they do in this situation. Buffalo coming
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: off a bye. And I did get criticized by a
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Buffalo fan. I remember I was reading the comments. You
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: always go against Buffalo.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, I've seen that comment.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Well, here's your chance now. I'm on the bills this week.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: They have a week of rest. Their defense should be
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: recharged here. Their defense isn't good, but we're getting a
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Baltimore team. Sure, they might have Jackson back. How good
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: is he going to be? That blows leads. 13-0 lead
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: they had against Cincinnati because I had Baltimore in the
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: teaser plus eight and a half when the line went
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: to two and a half.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Somehow lose a teaser.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: In the second half, they get blown out. So.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I like Baltimore here. You know, they've been on a
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: winning streak, and hopefully they come off the bye strong.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: You like Buffalo here, right?
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Excuse me, Buffalo. Lay the three points.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Here, it's three minus 15 here, minus three minus $ 1. 12.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Bet MGM minus three flat at South Point. So the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: threes are out there because a lot of the wise
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: guys are on Baltimore plus three and a half. So
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: this line now settling at minus three. Let's call it
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: minus $ 1.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: 15.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: All right, what else you got?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: All right, back on the Cleveland Browns train here. We've
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: been on them a few times and not going to
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: shy away from this situation either. Teams that play internationally
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: coming back and deciding to play. Remember, they have the
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: option here to take a bye week. The Pittsburgh Steelers,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: too cocky here, not taking their bye. They're taking their
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: bye next week for some reason. Teams in this situation
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: are 0-8 against the spread. 0-8 straight up, 1-7 against
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the spread.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: All right, so Pittsburgh, 3.5-point favorite here. You can get 3.5
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: mostly anywhere. 3.5 minus $ 1. 15 here on Cleveland, plus 3.5
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: minus $ 1. 15. There are some 3.5 flats out there I'm
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: seeing at South Point. So you like that division game.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: You like the dog there.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I still recommend.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I got 4.5 in pocket. I still recommend a 3.5.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I think it's still a solid bet. I like the
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: way the Browns have been playing, and I'm surprised by
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: this coach. It seems like they actually got a direction
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: now with this Munkin. You know, his brother's a coach
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: at Army, so you know they got structure there.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: But this Munkin that they got in Cleveland, looks like
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: he's bringing in a little structure to this. You know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns have been through so many troubles, you know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: losing organization, that maybe this is the first time that
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: they have some life here so we'll see and I
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: believe this will be one of those slobber knocker low
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: scoring type you know Cleveland already beat them once so
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I think it'll be one of them type games where
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: it'll come down to a field goal and we're good
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to go with Cleveland plus three and a half.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Alright what do you got? What's next?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Alright I'm still going to recommend this total even though
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I took it under 41 it's under 40 and a
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: half now big match up here With Casey against John's
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Denver team.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Right, right. No, this is, it was 41 this morning
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: when a source gave it out this morning also. So
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: now it looks like it's a 40 and a half,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: pretty solid. Yeah, there's only 40 and a half on
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the screen.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: And I would take it all the way down to
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: 40 here. I make the number right around 38. Okay,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: they already played one time already. And these are usually
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: home and home games where the home team usually wins.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: So I kind of favor Denver a little bit in
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: this matchup. Like the total a little better. The first
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: matchup was 31 to 10, so that's a 41 there.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Denver forgot how to tackle in that first game. They've
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: learned how to tackle since. Their defense has been playing
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: really well. Two great defensive coordinators here that don't get recognized,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Steve Spagnola for Kansas City and Vance Joseph for Denver.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Both longtime coaches.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Both have been head coaches and failed, but both of
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: them really good defensive coaches, and both have really good
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: defensive talent on both sides against struggling offenses that.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Don't really give up big.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Neither of them have big play options on their offenses,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: so this should be a grinded-out division battle as well
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: in Denver. Never know about the weather, but I know
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Mile High pretty well. I've been to games there, fun
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: place to go, And this is going to be a
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: great one here in Denver.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Is that it? Three of them? Yeah, three plays. Three-pack
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: from Randy. We got Randy in and out. He has
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to go be some more important places. He wants to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: leave us. No, he's going down to... To see our
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: buddy Jim Feiss and Albert down at Dom DeMarco's, which Wednesday,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: every Wednesday they have their show at noon. Wednesday. Are
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: you on the panel today?
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: I am not.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I'm going down to, you know, have lunch with a
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: friend of mine and see everybody. And then tomorrow night,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: going to the Big Metallica.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: You went? Yeah.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Thursday night's the better show.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I'm going Thursday night with my buddy. Eddie got me
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: a ticket, so shout out to him as well. And Gambler,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Bill and I know.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Not just a gambler.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Not a gambler. Just one of the best gamblers. I
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: don't know if he's that much of a gambler. How
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: about this? I think you mentioned that. I was going
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: to mention this with John. But I'll tell you. How
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: about the Venetian put out $ 100 and $ 25 Metallica chips?
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have J.H. put that. That's so cool.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. Why wouldn't we go down
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: there and buy a couple thousand dollars worth? No matter what,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: we can always get our money back. Just for everyone
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to see if you guys can see from here.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Isn't that cool? Like, they have to sell for more
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: immediately on eBay.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: I missed the show at the Hard Rock.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I had something else going on when Metallica was there
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: in the old joint. And there's still chips out there
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: from that.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Because they did the same thing.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And the Venetians probably copying that same deal with them,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: which is smart.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: You know, some smart.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: They're not doing a $ 5 chip. I know how smart
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: they are.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there were five and a quarter back
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: then during the hard rock days. Maybe somebody can put
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: on the comments if they still have one. But I
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: should have kept those back in the day. Unfortunately, I
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: didn't get to go to the show at Joint at
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the time, but I've seen them once since, so this
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: will be my second time seeing them.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: So the listings here, people are selling these already on
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: eBay for $ 25 to $ 75 more. The $ 25 one's selling
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: for up to $ 50. The $ 100 one, actually, there's one
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: on eBay for $ 349, which is ridiculous, but they've sold
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: for $ 175 on there already. I mean, if they're available,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: it's just good to have them anyway, not even just
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to keep it for your own collection.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll probably buy in for $ 125 and get one
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: of each.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I could sell you one for $ 125, Randy. I got you.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I got you. I got you. You know, speaking of which,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: there was going to be two subjects there I was
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: going to talk about there for the metallica so metallica
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: has uh at venetian there's a store that's open in
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the morning or the afternoon i know my wife went
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and bought all her supplies shirt a hoodie everything there
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: uh it's a pop-up store is what it's called and
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: it was unbelievable it was unbelievable to pop up store
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: so That's something that you may want to. Also, someone
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: in your stature, not me, but you, you may want
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: to go to the Stake and Destroy at Carver Stake,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Resorts World, Metallica Sphere Residency. While it's going on, there's
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: a $ 20, 000 package there, which you might want to go to.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Seared foie gras with 24-karat gold, a guitar signed by
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: all four members of Metallica, high-end bourbon named Master, after
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: one of their songs, right? And you get a steak
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: dinner for $ 20, 000, and you get, don't forget, there's a $ 4, 000
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: tip included with that, so I figure you'll probably go
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: for that, someone like in your.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what a deal that is.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: What a great deal that is.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: I do like Carver steak, though.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: That is very good.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: You get the guitar and everything, Randy. Randy will be
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: there on the weekend. Signed guitar, Metallica.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Will they let you keep the knife, too, like they
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: do in the... Oh, I've seen that. Would he eat
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: the regular steak?
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they do. But anyway, yeah, that's something I noticed.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll let Randy get out of here, and
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: we'll see you next week, Randy.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: All right, thanks, guys.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Hey, guys, welcome back to Wisecracks. Bill Krackenberger, John Orlando
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: over here at the fabulous Circa Sportsbook. John, many subjects
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: to get through here today. You yourself sent me a
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: photo last night of– An accident on the 215 on
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the way home. John, I just talked about this yesterday
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: to someone in the morning.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: How bad the drivers are compared to... Now, we live
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: in the moment, you'd think. I swear, though. The drivers
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: here just seem like they're so much worse than anywhere
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I've ever been. I agree. I mean, you're talking about, like...
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I lived my life on the BQE and the Verrazano
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and literally the Cross Bronx, which is a mess every day.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: But I swear, if you go by... Per capita, I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: think that here is just so much more dangerous.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I absolutely agree.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: I think, you know, obviously the Las Vegas Strip, people
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: are drinking, they're having fun, they're on vacation.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: But also, we have so many local bars on almost
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: every corner here.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I never thought of that.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: People are just drunk. I mean, last night was crazy, man.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: There had to be someone that was. She was driving
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: by herself. It had to be under the influence of something.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure. She either passed out while drunk.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Right in front of John. This is right in front
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: of John.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, on the 215.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: The car just spiraled out of control, hit the barrier.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: Almost hit me twice. She was in the fast lane.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: I was in the lane next to it, and she
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: lost control. I was probably three or four car lengths
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: behind her. So I saw her lose control, and she
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: went all the way that way, so I'm braking, and
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: then she started coming back. It's like she spun out.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean? She went all the way right,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: and then all the way left across.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: John was the only one to stop, which I see
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a lot too, you know? John was the only one
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: to stop, called 911 right away, and they were right
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: there instantly. Yeah. But you actually... It was just you
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and her. You tried to almost get her out of
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the car. You didn't want to touch her. She had
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: blood all over.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, she was slumped over the wheel. I had to
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: lift the airbag, like a side airbag, you know? I
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: don't think it was the steering wheel airbag.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: You're a little bit much like a prima donna. Do
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you have gloves on or anything?
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: No gloves.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: I didn't touch her. But I had to lift the
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: airbag up.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: And she was banged up. Give her some words of encouragement.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Her windshield smashed. You'll see. Well, I sent you the pics.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: She couldn't have had a seatbelt on. How do you
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: hit the window with a seatbelt on? And the airbag
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: deployed instantly.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Her arm was all cut up. You'll see the picture.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: He'll put it in there. The windshield is smashed up.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Her face was bloody. There's a lot of blood.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: We probably won't put it in there, but just do
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: explain it. It's enough.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Speaking of bloody and... Speaking of bloody, there's Bugs E.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Segal. That's Bugs E.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Segal? Yeah, that's the shot. This is a real shot.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: That's when he got killed. That's him when he got
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: shot in the eye. So, yeah. Oh, wow. You don't
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: see that photo a lot.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: No, I don't think I've ever seen that photo.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I've seen it. I've seen it.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: So, this is pretty cool, though. So, for 80 years,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I don't understand this.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: For 80 years.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: The L.A. Police Department, Beverly Hills Police Department, your area,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Beverly Hills, would not release Bugsy's items that he had,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: you know, that were left behind. Why? So, I don't know.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Maybe because the murder's never, ever been, it hasn't been solved.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's evidence or something?
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Interesting. What happened here is amazing. So, it took 80 years.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: for Beverly Hills Police Department to release these. They were
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: immediately sold by his granddaughter, who got them, to the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Mob Museum here in town, which I think is cool.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: The Mob Museum has. So, the exhibit titled What Bugs
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: He Left Behind includes a Social Security card, Meyer Lansky's
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: business card, which identifies him as a distributor of Wurlitzer
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: jukeboxes in New York.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Interesting. Photograph of Virginia Hill, a wallet-sized photograph. Sweetheart Benny,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I love you on the back of it. Nevada certificate,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: vehicle ownership. Photos of his daughters, Barbara and Millicent. I
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: think it was pretty cool, including a photograph of the
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: sisters as teenagers shortly before their father was murdered. Other things, too,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: but the Mob Museum, which I was just there a
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: few weeks ago. um, first show me and Gil Alexander went,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: it was fantastic. It just, I've been there in the past.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: What a great job they did with that. Um, earlier
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: effects of the wallet, the old, the old, uh, it's
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: funny how the old watches were so thin. They weren't, uh,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the show off ones that like guys like you wear now, um,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: they were the thinner kind, you know, they were just
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: a real classic, classy watches though. So 22 items going
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: on display. And, um, She's actually going to be at
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the Mob Museum on November 12th. And it's called What
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Bugsy Left Behind. She's going to be speaking over there.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of interesting. The Grand Order is actually speaking.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Will you go to that?
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I probably won't. I did go there for some other things, though,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: and I really enjoyed it. A couple weeks ago, I went,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and I would go again in a minute. They did
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a great job over at that Mob Museum. It's a
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: great thing. Spend the day there. Seriously, you come to town,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: you want to spend, we don't want to go in
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: and out there. You want to spend two, three hours
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: in there. I mean, it's just so cool in there
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: if that's one of your things, you know. John, let's
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: talk a little bit about our local team here. The Raiders.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: So they were 3-0. Now they're 3-4. Now we're hearing
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Max Crosby's name thrown around as being traded again. Max
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: having a great year. Gives it his all. This is
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: a guy who gets there first 6 a.m. in the morning.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Doesn't leave until last.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Dedicated. They almost did a trade with Baltimore, which was
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: kind of strange. The beginning of the season, I thought
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: it was a done deal. They said it was done.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Baltimore said no. He might have some physical issues. Obviously,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: he doesn't because he's having a great season. He's out there,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: and he's just such a leader. I just don't know
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: how you can get rid of, you know.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: And who else do you have? Who's the franchise player?
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: He really is one of the all-time greats.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: He's the guy.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: For this iconic franchise. And he's still, let's just say
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: he's still in prime shape here.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: We'll take him.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: We'll take him out.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Now, you say will. Denver?
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: I'm representing Denver.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: We'll take him.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Well, wherever he goes, if he does go somewhere, they
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: should accept no less than two first-round picks for someone
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: like this.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: Now, do you possibly— I know you don't like to lock
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: up money long-term, but— No, I do.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Do you— well, for a Super Bowl pick. For a Super
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Bowl pick.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: No, the reason why I don't do that— Do you
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: try to speculate.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Where's he going to go and maybe bet on the—
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: Those teams?
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: That would definitely be something I would bet on.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, if I get some kind of word that
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: some team's looking at him, maybe from a beat reporter
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: or someone like that. Yeah, that's the idea of, you know.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: I got his number. You want me to text him? Yeah,
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: you think he'll tell you? Does he spill the beans?
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. John, I have an interesting subject. So Steve Wynn
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: was in town last week at the Golden Nugget. Yes.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: And the night he was in town, we may have
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: even talked about it. He was with his daughter and
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: his current wife. And Steve, when his daughter, she was
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: kidnapped years ago. Kevin. Kevin.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: I know Kevin.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she was kidnapped. Oh, you actually know her? Yeah. Yeah,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: so she was kidnapped years ago. And I read a
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: story on, I never knew this whole story with these
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: genius kidnappers.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to read something to you guys.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: 1.5, right? 1.5.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: 1.5, I remember. John knows a lot about this. I
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: don't know if you weren't involved here. Wynn gets home
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: from dinner in July 1993. Car phone rings. His daughter, Kevin, Daddy,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I've been kidnapped. The man takes the phone. Do exactly
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: what we say. We won't kill her. The orders to
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: go back to the Mirage. Stand at the cashier's cage.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Wait for a call, and you're being watched, Mr. Wynn.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Cage phone rings. Give me a million and a half.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: The chairman and CEO. He probably can't empty the cage,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: but there was really nothing. Nothing was going to stop him.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: It's his daughter. Takes $ 1. 5 million out of the $ 100 bills.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Gets it to the kidnapper. The cash goes into a
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: shopping bag so heavy he carries it like a baby.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Security guy leaves it on the seat of the Mercedes
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: where he's told to leave it. Doors unlock, windows down.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Two hours later, airport, oversized parking. Last row, she's tied
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: up in the back seat. I'm sorry to put you
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: through this, Mr. Wynn, the kidnapper says. She was alive.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: She was fine. The next day, the genius kidnapper goes
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: to a local Ferrari dealership here.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: Stop.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Come on. And spends $ 130, 000 in cash with the marked
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: bills and obviously gets caught right away.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: That's how he got. Yeah.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, maybe you don't know. I thought you knew.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: I figured it was something to do with you. No,
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: I didn't know. But look, look.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Wow. If that's on the phone thing, you got to
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: cut that out. But anyway, yeah, so I just amazing
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: when you see these things.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: You just forget, even though it was 33 years ago.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: Does it say how long did he get for that? Like,
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: is he out? Or is he still alive?
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: It doesn't say.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: Wow. Crazy.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: It doesn't say. The audacity. I see you didn't get
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: in any trouble yet, so that's good. Now, this reminds
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: me of, the reason why I bring this up, Did
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: you see this genius that was in the United Airlines?
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I fly this flight a lot.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: You tried to hijack the plane or something?
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I fly this flight because there's only one airline that
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I know of that flies nonstop from Newark, New Jersey
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: to Las Vegas now. It's United. That's their big hub
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: in Newark. There was a couple. Spirit was there, but
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: they're out of business now. I think someone else might
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: have bought one of the routes, though. But as far
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: as I know, it's United. So I always fly that
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: United Airlines. They have like six nonstops a day. So
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: this flight was leaving Las Vegas, going back to Newark.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: 25-year-old Dante Malin, the passenger, was arrested texting about hijacking
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: the plane to his buddies. Now, how did the guy next.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: To him saw it?
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: It actually says that the stewardess seen it. It was
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: literally shortly after departure, a flight attendant alerted a cockpit saying,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: after allegedly seeing his text indicating that his intent to
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: hijack the plane. Like, does the story just go around
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: reading people's texts?
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: Delivering a drink, maybe? She just happened to see it?
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she could have. It's crazy. But it was supposedly banter,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: like fooling around with his friend, but you can't fool
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: around like that.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Nope.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: There's no fooling around like that. So aircraft turned around
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: at 11.05 p.m., touched down at 11.36 p.m., arrived at
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the gate without further and he no one he they
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: made up a lie we have to turn back around
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: folks sorry about this and didn't say why so there
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: was not obviously nothing going on there um but just
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: based on him saying it uh yeah he's going to
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: be in a lot of trouble because it actually caused
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the whole plane to uh not even yeah they had
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: a deep plane and weren't allowed to take off till
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: the next morning yeah so uh they had to get
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: a different plane Because of the flight crews.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Years ago, my dad had a bass player. This is
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: in the 90s.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: He was from Missouri, and he hadn't had a lot
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: of flying experience, and he just joined the band. I
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: forgot where we were going, but we were flying out
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: of Springfield, Missouri somewhere. It was his first flight with us,
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: and he made some sort of remark as he was
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: putting his bass up in the overhead. He made some
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: sort of bomb joke. Thought he was making an innocent funny.
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: Musicians have a twisted sense of humor usually. Yeah, we
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: all got taken off the plane.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: The whole day my dad had to smooth it over. No, no,
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: just kidding, whatever.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Was your dad on the plane?
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. My dad was furious.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, he had to be.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Dude, come on, you don't make those jokes. No bomb jokes.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: John, New York Sports Handle hits its biggest since... I
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: saw this. Now... I want to tell you why this
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: is a story to me. New York sports betting handled
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: 5% year over year to $ 2. 4 billion for September. Sports
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: betting capital in the United States. Year-to-date handle. But the
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: revenue actually went down year-to-date. And the reason why is
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: probably because the Knicks won the NBA championship. It was
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: the first month New York actually lost money. Everyone had
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: the Knicks. So that's probably why. But their handle went
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: up for September so much.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: And.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: This growth, it's just like in contrast to what has
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: happened with these prediction markets. They say, oh, yeah, the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: sportsbooks are really hurting. This shows me that they're absolutely fine.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: No one has to worry about the sportsbooks. New Jersey actually.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Their handle did decline 4%. But their prediction markets are
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: very big in that area there. So they're big in
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: all these states, really, that have them. Here in Nevada,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: we do not have that. But I just find that
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: very interesting. $ 2. 4 billion. Oh, my God. They're holding about 10%.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: So you're talking about $ 240 million in profit for the sportsbooks,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: even though they have this 50% tax rate. It's still
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: one of the most successful sportsbooks making so much money
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: there because of this kind of volume. And, yeah, are
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: prediction markets hurting the sportsbooks? Yeah, I think for the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: bigger better, the more serious better. But Joe Public, they're
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: playing with DraftKings, FanDuel, Seizures, MGM. They want to play
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: where the celebrities are advertising, the ex-athletes. Now you have
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: celebrities or athletes calling you at home, hey, why aren't
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: you betting anymore? You know, it's sick. It really is sick.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: If you think about how predatory some of the advertising
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: campaigns are. But anyway, I thought that was kind of interesting.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Because everyone, they're in so much fear of this happening,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: of these prediction markets taking over. Next thing. I noticed now,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: this is the second or third time now, maybe the
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: third time, that... These slot machines, these cashless slots, you
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: go up to the slot, you could put tickets or
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: cash in, but you can also put your phone up
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: next to it for Apple iPay and load money from
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: your Apple iPay.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: To the slot machine? Yeah.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Now, this one is.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Here in Vegas?
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Actually, I believe that one of them you can do
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: them at the stations, casinos.
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: But this one is called Rapid... Rapid play cashless slot
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: machines at Crystal Bay Casino in Nevada. I don't know
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: where that's at.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Crystal Bay Casino. I should have looked it up. But
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: this is a new one.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: That they're... Oh, yes, yes. L & W plans to
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: expand technology across Nevada following Station Casino's recent rollout of
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Apple Pay gaming machines. I know I heard.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Does it happen to say, do you pay a fee
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: to do that?
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I'm sure... There is some kind of a fee.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: Maybe not as bad as the ATM?
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: It doesn't really say it here, but Lights and Wonder
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: first announced Rapid Play Cashless Gaming Solutions in 2024. This week,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the gaming supplier confirmed its first wave of slot machines.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Pay-by-bank technology are officially live in Nevada. So this is
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: coming to a casino near you. This person who is
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Jeff Allen, I guess he's the director of product management, says,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I think of it as an ATM at the slot machine.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Rather than the player walking over withdrawing money from an
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: ATM and inserting it into the machine, they can do
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: everything right here at the point of play. Wow. I
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: just think that's going to accelerate their loss so much.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: For sure. So fast. For sure. They just want to
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: break every living human. Let's go into some of our
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: darker areas here, which I do like. I only do
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: this to protect the people, too. I don't know if
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I talked about it in this space last week. The
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia police are still searching, though, for these armed robbers
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: who ambushed a woman. I don't think I did. I
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: don't think so. Yeah, they ambushed a woman at the casino.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: So this lady at the parking lot of Live Casino,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: which I've been to many times, right there in the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: heart of South Philly, Pretty much a safe area there,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: I would think, compared to, like, there's a casino over
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: on Delaware Avenue there. I think it's a Rivers Casino.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Not in the best of areas. So, for this one,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: this is a better one over there. It's by the stadiums.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: It's right in back of the Link. I think it
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: shares the parking lot with, I almost said the Vet.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: The Vet, the Link, no. The Link and Citizens Bank Field.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I think that's the Phillies where they play. Citizens Bank Park. So,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: it shares parking lots with them. Pretty safe area, but
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: obviously this woman, they seen her win $ 4, 000. These guys
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: robbed her in the parking garage, took off in their
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: white Honda Accord. Philadelphia police are investigating this third floor
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: garage robbery, which occurred shortly before midnight. If I can
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: give you anything, I like to park, not that I
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: even do this, but I would say park on the roof.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: The camera's there that's light out. This may have happened
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: at nighttime.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: Harder to hide.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Harder to hide in a parking garage. If I'm going
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: in to make bets and stuff, I'm going in the casino,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I know if I'm carrying my bag or something, I'm
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: going to go to valet, give the guy $ 10, leave
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: my car there, right at the front. But this incident
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: does come as Philadelphia crime statistics through late October show
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: homicides are down 23%, total property crimes down 8.5% year
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: over year. We talked about that last week in Atlantic City,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: crime going down. So hopefully that's a good sign. This
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: did happen in a parking garage. I want to make
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: sure you guys know. Just watch your head in a
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: parking garage, any parking facilities, in casinos.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: And girls, just valet girls.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Man, I see.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: Women in the parking garages so often late at night.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: I just don't know what.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: I know it's expensive to valet, but you've got to
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: be careful.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: In these casinos. How about this $ 150, 000 casino heist in Missouri?
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: People don't like these flock cameras. They've come under a
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: lot of attack for privacy concerns and stuff, but The
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: reason why they actually found these people that robbed the casino,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: they went in and robbed the casino. Two suspects were arrested,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: allegedly stealing more than $ 150, 000 from St. Joe Frontier Casino
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: in Missouri. Missouri's Flock Network tracked the suspect to a
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: black Jeep along Highway 36 where the police stopped the
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: vehicle and the $ 150, 000 was right in the backseat. So
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the reason why the Flock camera, they have crime fighting capabilities.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: I don't know what the Flock camera is.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: The Flock camera is these cameras that have like, they
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: have solar panels on them. I've seen them a couple times,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: but they also get your... Your driver's data right away.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, right. You mentioned this like a week ago or
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: two on the show.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry. So it did. Like
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: you can see a photo of that right there. See
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: like there?
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I've seen those.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're. But I know from doing other
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: shows with Alan Boston. By the way, we're going to
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: have Alan Boston on, guys. Tomorrow he's going to have
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: some futures in college basketball. Hopefully we get that out.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Friday morning, still a couple days before the season, we'll
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: have that out. Our producer will have that out. But, yeah, Allen,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: you know, he's... I don't even know what he is.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: He's libertarian, I think. I don't follow politics. I think
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: it's somewhere in the middle.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: He's fired up is what he is.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's somewhere in the middle. But anyway, yeah, so
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: this was an amazing thing. The suspects pinpointed the cash,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: and they had it right in the backseat. So, yeah,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: that was a... Like I said, this flock controversy... They
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: operate in 49 states, 120,000 active flock cameras. When a
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: vehicle passes by a flock reader, the camera registers its make, model,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: and distinct identifying features like dense, scratches, anything. And proponents
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: are spitting here. Public safety technology surveillance allows law enforcement
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: to easily track suspects. Listen, I don't know why anyone
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: would be against it. I mean, isn't it to help?
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Isn't it to help other places?
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Another thing here. How about this? I think we talked
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: about this, but I'm not sure. Because this article came
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: out only five days ago, and we shot seven days ago. So,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: this was in Italy. This was a $ 27 million in
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: lottery tickets. Six of the lottery employees and former employees
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: identified four multi-million dollar winning tickets before they reached the
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: retailers telling them to buy the tickets from them stores. So,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: it's amazing, though. They got away with the first $ 7 million. Like,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: How much money do you want? They got away with
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: the first $ 7 million telling you where to go and
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: scratch your tickets at. Right. But it just, it breeds
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: so much more contempt. We got away with the $ 7 million.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Let's see if we can get away with more. Finally,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: up to $ 28 million.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: And.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Actually, it says 28 million in assets were seized, 27
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: million in scratch-off jackpots in the hands of relatives or
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: friends involving those employees and former employees. This is between
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: 2015 and 2019. They allegedly used legit login credentials to
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: access the company's servers, identifying where the tickets were going
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: to be sold, and their knowledge of knowing in advance
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: when they were delivered to that store So they would
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: buy up batches of the tickets. They had the guaranteed
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: winners there. And it's just amazing how they just get
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: so greedy. Not that I'm for it, anyway. I'm just saying,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: you're so greedy to get all this, and now you're
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: going to bang them out of $ 28 million. Of course, eventually,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: you're going to get caught. John, let's do our wager
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: wire segment here. Four-leg parlay. Four legs here. Now, Two
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: legs already cashed. Don't mind me. I've never heard of
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: this tennis player. Karolina Makova. Maybe I have. The more
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I think about it. Makova would beat Coco Gauff. I
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: know who Coco Gauff is. That one already won. The
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: next one is Tampa Bay to win the American League.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: That one. The next one is Ohio State plus 550
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: to win the football championship and Florida to win the
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: NCAA basketball championship. Ready for this wager? $ 1, 100 to win $ 663, 000. Whoa. Yeah,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: let's round it down. $ 662, 000.
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: Obviously, I don't follow college.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they won the first two Ohio State games. Yeah,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're not as good as people thought they
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: were going to be at the beginning of the season.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: But this is a giant four-legger. Right now, because Tampa
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: won and Carolina McCovell won, It is worth over $ 11, 000
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: over on WagerWire. I'm sorry. Excuse me. The buyout through
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the sportsbook where the ticket was purchased is worth $ 11, 000.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Over on WagerWire.com on the WagerWire app, $ 15, 768. A $ 14, 668 profit.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: My thing is, is that.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think this person should sell because if you
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: have the money to bet $ 1, 100 on a parlay, I
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: don't know how much $ 15, 000 will do for you compared
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: to $ 600, 000.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: No chance.
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: And I wonder, was he originally going to do it
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: for like $ 500 and he saw the payout?
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: And then he was like, you know what? Double it. $ 1, 100.
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: I don't think he just randomly picked $ 1, 100 as the number.
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: I think he probably was going lower, saw $ 300, 000.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: Ah, let's double it.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: And the bet value is probably unlikely to change unless
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Ohio State does win this title game, and then it
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: would swell to six figures. The payout offer. The current
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: cash-out offer isn't awful, 70 cents on a dollar, but
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: 70 cents profit there. So I don't know if I
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: would— I would say this is a bigger-staked player. They're not
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: going to.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: Be— Would you want to buy in a small piece
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: of this?
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Ohio State and Florida? Yeah, if I can get a
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: lot of buy, I would buy. Yeah, I would say
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: you can definitely buy at a piece of this situationally.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: College football has been upset city, so any given week,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: it's almost like any given Sunday. Any team can and
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: will win. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good thing.
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: Kind of like the Dolphins money line that I told
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: you at Dom DeMarco's last week.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Do you remember that?
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: Oh, Dolphins money line.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: I said Dolphins money line. You did say that.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: I've been hot two weeks in a row. I said
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Browns money line last week. Dolphins' money line this week.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Do you want to give everyone something else this week?
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: I can give it to you. It's easy. Oh, not Broncos.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: It's like free money. Yes, Broncos beat the Chiefs.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: But the Chiefs is your guy, Mahomes, I thought. You
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: wouldn't bet this game.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: That's true, but Broncos beat the Chiefs.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you're saying the Broncos on the money line.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: Money line, yeah.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: So the money line, the money line game should be
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: about even.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: It's like minus 105, which is terrible.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can get plus 105.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: Can you?
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, plus 105.
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: Bill, what is this– We talked about it before, but
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: I really pay attention to stuff more now, more and more.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: Both teams are a minus. This thing that seems to
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: happen a lot. The dog is still a minus.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: How can that be? It's happening a lot.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: What do you mean the dog's a minus?
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: Right now, if I'm looking at the board right here
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: at Circa, for Chiefs, the money line is Chiefs minus 115,
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: Broncos minus 105.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: How does this, how is it, shouldn't there?
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Well, the Chiefs are a one and a half point
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: favorite in the game, or a one point favorite.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: They're a one point favorite here. So, Chiefs are a
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: one point favorite here. They have to be a small
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: money line favorite.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: I'm looking right now. It's minus 115, minus 105.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, so.
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: But shouldn't it at least be, like, there's another game
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: where it's even and minus 120.
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: Like, even should be.
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: I feel like my point is 10 years, five years ago,
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: it was either there's a minus and at worst even,
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: but usually there's a minus and a plus.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Well, if it's only a one point game or one
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: and a half point game, That's up to the public.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Is the one worth something very important to you or not?
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Kansas City. You can bet minus one, minus $ 1. 10. Let's
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: use Circa's odds. Minus one, minus $ 1. 10. Or you can
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: use the money line, lay an extra five cents in
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: case the game is 21-20 or something like that.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: Or like baseball, I see it a lot.
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: Minus 120, minus 105 in baseball.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: If you're betting with that, you should change your bookmaker.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: But I see it a lot.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: What happened was, John... These books came to the country,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: you know, eight years ago, and they were using this
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: pricing that they got. They literally made the public that
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: never bet before. They said, oh, it's minus 120 one way,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: minus 110 the other way. Right. And the public was like, oh, OK,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: that's the way it is. No, it was never that
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: way here. It was minus 120. Come back plus $ 1.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: 10. Right. So.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: We're back to the 10-cent line starting point, at least,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: at some of the books. But the books back east,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: some of those big books, they're still charging ridiculous money lines.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I would not even think to play the money line
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: unless they have too much one-sided where you're still getting
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: a value on one side or the other side.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you this. Baseball. Did you watch World
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Series last night?
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Exciting innings.
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: Great comeback for the Rays. I'm looking right now at
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: circa the board. To win the series, I know it's crazy.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: But if the Rays did win tonight, two wins and another.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: It could happen. When's the last time it happened? The Yankees, maybe,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: I think, when they were down 3-0?
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: The Yankees were up 3-0? It's very rare.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Was that Boston?
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: It might have been Boston.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Boston.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Cowboy up.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: Came back.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: It can happen. Plus 875 right now.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: Okay. Milwaukee's a giant favorite tonight.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: Well, they have their ace on the mound also.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Mizorowski?
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: You could take $ 1.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: 45. Wow.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: That's an unbelievable home dog.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: But momentum being a thing?
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Sure, sure.
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: $ 100?
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: That's the end of them.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee is an easy winner. John won't stop until everyone's
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: in a homeless shelter.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying I would do it. I was just wondering,
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: do you like stuff like that?
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sure. Why not?
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, why not?
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Gamble, gamblero. That's Johnny. Johnny boy.
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: No gamble, no future.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Gamble, gamble, no future, yeah.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Anyway, all right, John. So we're good. I'm having a
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: good guest come on to talk about these Ticketmaster things. Ticketmaster,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: they screwed me on Metallica tickets. They screwed some kid
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: on the Game 1 of the World Series. What are they?
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: Explain the Metallica thing.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Ticketmaster, I think I talked about it here. Ticketmaster, they're
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: just a marketplace. I didn't... Not Ticketmaster. StubHub? Ticketmaster's bad, too, though.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Ticketmaster's bad, too, on the resale market. They're pretty bad, too,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: with StubHub. Have you had any experience at all with StubHub?
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: Nothing bad.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Tell us what happened. You bought tickets, no problem?
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: I bought tickets to Dodger games with StubHub.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: You know what's funny? I bought tickets to.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: It's very rare I'm buying tickets to sporting events crap,
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: because I usually.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you get them free.
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: I get them free.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Johnny Hollywood.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: You know, comedy crime. Of course. Crime don't pay.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: But... I bought them for the Padres game a couple
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: years ago, and it was not a problem. But I
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: have had problems now two out of three times. I
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: bought great tickets on StubHub, and then all of a sudden,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: the day before the show, they said, yeah, we don't
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: have your tickets. Sorry, we'll give you your money back.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: I had great seats. What happened was StubHub said the
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: guy pulled his tickets off there. They were back on
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: there for $ 300 or $ 500 more per seat. That's the problem.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: I bought them for $ 700 a seat, and they were
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: back up for over $ 1, 000 a seat. And I never
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: got them back and stuff. I wanted nothing to do
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: with it. They're a terrible, terrible organization. Terrible. And maybe
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: all the ticket agencies are like that. So I have
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: someone that knows about these different ticket companies. And you're
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: going to tell us a little bit more about that. Okay.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: We'll have that on, guys. Thank you.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: That's next week?
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: No, that's this week. We're going to have it on
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: next week. Hey, guys, we've got a special for you here.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: We've got a buddy of mine that I followed on Twitter.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: And either I followed him or he followed me back.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: One of the two. But Scott Friedman. Now, Scott, tell us,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: and you'll have to remind me here. So I think
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: I put up a tweet on my StubHub ordeal that
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: I had with them. And I think... either someone sent
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: me to you or you're following me, something happened. And, uh,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: and then I seen you had a channel that you
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: have your own show. First of all, tell us a
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: little about yourself. Where am I calling you at?
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: Where are you at?
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: What part of the country?
• 41:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Scott Freeman.
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: I'm a temporarily in Myrtle beach, Ohio, Myrtle beach, South Carolina,
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: based in Cleveland, Ohio. So obviously I travel around, like
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: to see different places around the country. I mean, I
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: obviously love it out in Vegas too. I'm a regular, uh, Three,
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: four times a year guy in Vegas. Love your show
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: with sports betting and everything. But I founded the Ticket
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: Talk Network two years ago and been a.
• 42:08
  Speaker 7: Ticket sales, live marketing guy my entire life.
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: Have worked on the team side, have worked as a
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: ticket reseller, have worked for some of the biggest.
• 42:17
  Speaker 7: Consolidators, ticket resellers in the space.
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: And just kind of like the ticket expert for all
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: live events, and we track the biggest live events happening
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: each and every day, whether that's the World Series going
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: on right now, whether that's Taylor Swift, whether that's Super Bowl,
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: FIFA World Cup, we're like the main hub for all
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: live events and tracking ticket prices for the biggest live
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: events daily, and really the second part is of how
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: we got to know each other is um calling out
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: stuff comes um practices they're just screwing over fans yeah
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: single day they're deceptive they're um in my opinion allegedly
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: running a uh really like a ponzi scheme just to
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: like make cook their books make their books look good
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: not refund um buyers that have been wronged by by
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: stubhub i know that you're one of the victims from
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: it and It's just at such scale, we even had
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: to hire an attorney to represent people. And Brad Clements'
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: law has recovered over $ 10 million.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: Wow. Where are they located, Scott? Where's Brad Clements? You said,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: where are they located?
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Brad Clements is located in Texas, and he actually
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: practices law in California where StubHub's based. So it's actually
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: a huge arbitration case and mediation's going on to help–
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: victims of StubHub recover their victims as we speak. I
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: think they have a hearing in early November to hopefully
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: settle those cases and get the buyers back their money.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: A lot of them have been recovered already. Some obviously haven't.
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: And Clements Law, through our partnership, has done a fantastic job.
• 43:56
  Speaker 7: Doing that for us. And we're very grateful to him.
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: And we just hear horror story after horror story, though,
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: every single day. And there's been World Series horror stories.
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: If milwaukee latin this past weekend and it just keeps
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: getting worse it seems.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Well like for my example was my wife wanted to
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: go see metallica i bought two seats where i thought
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: were really good seats i'm sure i paid about double
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: face value which i was happy with doing they were
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: aisle on the end and they were a good section
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: i thought it was perfect for me and uh and
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: then 24 hours before the show they said yeah, those
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: seats are no longer available, so we're going to refund
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: you the money or give you some other options. But meanwhile,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: they were back up on StubHub for about $ 300 to
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: $ 500 more per seat. I don't understand. I didn't understand
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: how that worked.
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: So what actually happened there was, I guess, the seller said,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, I can get more frig this guy.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: And StubHub is an intermediary.
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: They're a middleman.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Is that the way it works, Scott? You can tell me.
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the way it works. I mean, your scenario
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: happens every single day.
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: Whether it's a stub hub causing it, or they're in
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: cahoots with the seller causing that, that they sold too
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: cheap and they want to cancel the order and sell
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: the order for more when events surge, like Metallica is
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: at the sphere currently. That's definitely all allegedly could be happening.
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: And it's just so many. Shouldn't that be illegal?
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Shouldn't it be illegal?
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: Absolutely legal. And, Like I said, U.S. Congress is on
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: them to find out more facts. Lawsuits are happening all
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: over the place. This needs to stop with StubHub. There's
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: just so many variables of illegal things going on, screwing
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: buyers every single day with examples such as yours not
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: filling the orders, seeing your same ticket, same seat numbers
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: back on StubHub ironically. It happens all over the country
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: every single day. We're trying to get to the bottom
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: of it. We want to get it fixed and We
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: just have to keep fighting. They're a massive brand, the
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: number one brand on the secondary. And obviously people are
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: just getting to get it around this now. They're obviously
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: aware of it, but obviously it's a lot of work
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: needs to be done. I can't be the only voice
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: out there that tells folks not to do business with
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: them anymore, but it's, we're making a lot of progress
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: and we're talking $ 10 million in claims.
• 46:13
  Speaker 7: Clements Law did a great job. Congress wants answers on why.
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: This deceptive stuff is happening with the company and we're
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: definitely making a lot.
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: Of strides lately.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Well, they're making so much money. I'm sure this little
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: 10 million is a little nothing to them. Right. So
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: they're making so much money, but so like even the
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: world series, I seen a kid was screwed out of
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: his tickets or something. That's why I said to have
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: you on here, this kind of the practice. Now, does
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: this happen on other sites than, or just StubHub? Does
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: it happen on the Ticketmaster secondary market or the other ticket,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: whatever else, you know, Does it happen there, or are
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: we singling out StubHub, or is it everyone that sells
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: resale tickets?
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, the great thing about Ticketmaster, I mean, their
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: tickets have to be verified. So on TMTM resale, like 99%,
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: there's no issues.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: For the most part.
• 47:03
  Speaker 7: Oh, okay.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 47:04
  Speaker 7: The other smaller sites, I mean, Vivid Seeds, TickPick.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, TickPick.
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: They sometimes have issues, but not to the scale of StubHub.
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: Why? Why?
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: The StubHub is definitely allowing this more often.
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: Because they're allowing this.
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: And like you said, they're the Amazon of ticketing, the
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: biggest company out there. So they figure they could just
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: bully me, you, the average person, and just keep going
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: along and cut their losses and keep selling and continue
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: to be a $ 2 billion valuation.
• 47:36
  Speaker 7: So it's truly sickening.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: So if you're Joe Public, and this is what I
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: wanted to bring you on for, my viewers are people
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: that want to buy tickets to go to shows, come
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: here to Vegas, go to the Sphere, maybe go to
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: a secondary market, of course, especially for big sellouts like that,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: or even the big shows that come to MGM, Grand
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Garden Arena, T-Mobile. What should they do? I always buy
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: tickets last minute. but what should they do? Even the
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: world series now, what should they do to get their
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: best value and to make sure they're going to have
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: that ticket in hand when the event starts? Yeah.
• 48:15
  Speaker 7: Great question. Number one, don't use stuff up.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: What I recommend for any fan to do for Vegas
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: shows or any events nationwide and Vegas is the mega
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: capital of the world for live events. So many shows
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: going on. The Vegas sphere is unbelievable. MGM shows, Coliseum shows.
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: So Vegas is the best, live entertainment capital of the world.
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: So what I recommend everyone to do, it's very simple.
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: You want to compare the primary. So whether it's a
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: Ticketmaster for the Vegas Sphere or whatever primary box office
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: MGM uses, I think it's AXS or the Coliseum or
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: any other of the smaller theaters in Vegas, compare the primary,
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: then compare that to SeatGeek.
• 48:56
  Speaker 7: SeatGeek's the most reliable secondary site out there.
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: It's not perfect by any means, but they are much
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: more likely to fix an issue right away than a
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: site like StubHub. So if you compare the primary to SeatGeek,
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: whether that's last minute like you, or I mean, I'm
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: a last minute type of guy too. I like to
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: get the best deal possible. Do those things. two methods
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: and you won't have any issues and hopefully you'll find
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: the best price.
• 49:25
  Speaker 7: Between the two.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow, SeatGeek. I never even knew SeatGeek was a
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: seller of seats. I thought SeatGeek was a place where
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: you could show you where a seat's going to be.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: So there are ticket sales places also. I didn't even know.
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: They started as an aggregator, more to your motto, about
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: a decade ago. They've really evolved the last five, six
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: years into a marketplace. And I respect them because literally
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: we work with them. If there is issues, I have
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: a contact in the C-suite to make that issue.
• 49:54
  Speaker 7: Corrected right away.
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: So that's why I praise them because they're more than
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: happy to help if there is any situation with your tickets,
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: which there isn't often with SeatGeek.
• 50:04
  Speaker 7: So compare SeatGeek.
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: To Ticketmaster or whatever primary ticketing system the venue is
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: using in Vegas or nationwide.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, so where can people find you and find your podcast?
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Do you have a weekly podcast?
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll have you on the pod. I love sports betting, too.
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: So we'll definitely talk sports betting. We'll have you back
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: on my pod.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: I actually don't like talking sports betting. I talk Vegas shows,
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: Vegas entertainment, more than actually sports betting. But I do,
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: of course, sports betting is how I've been living for decades,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: and I still do. But in general, about Las Vegas shows,
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: I love shows. Love going to Broadway shows. love going
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: to stuff. So tell them again, I didn't mean to
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: interrupt you.
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 50:43
  Speaker 7: So take, yes, yes.

  Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach? Have a house there?

  Speaker 7: No, just visiting now.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: And, um, my, no, my brother, my brother-in-law, it was
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: secret service retired to Myrtle Beach. He's a cop now

  Speaker 1: in Myrtle Beach. I was like, wait, okay, cool. All right.

  Speaker 5: and keep grinding away. But yeah, I travel all over
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: the place. So we'll definitely connect when I'm in Vegas next.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: Awesome. Look forward to it. Great to have you on.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about what people go through a
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: little bit like myself. We've got to stay away from
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: StubHub and use some of the other networks. And you
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: said SeatGeek, which I didn't even know. So that could
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: help some people here. And we appreciate having you on
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: and look forward to having you on again. And I'm
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: happy to come on your show too. Thanks, Scott.
