- 2:11Speaker 3: bonanza of the overnight from the world famous Fox Sports

- 2:51Speaker 3: dot com. The way tire buying should be Sorely this
- 2:54Speaker 3: hour is from pro bouncy Ball and not the Vikings
- 3:01Speaker 3: and the Charges, which was a terrible game. If the
- 3:04Speaker 3: Vikings didn't want to play, they could have just let
- 3:06Speaker 3: us know and say, well, we're gonna save the money.
- 3:10Speaker 3: It takes a lot of fuel to get from Minnesota
- 3:11Speaker 3: to LA. We'll just stay back in Minnesota. Just give
- 3:15Speaker 3: the wind to the Chargers. My god, that was gutlass. Anyway,
- 3:19Speaker 3: that was a dog game and in the hood in Inglewood.
- 3:23Speaker 3: And you know, it takes a heck of a lot
- 3:27Speaker 3: for us not to begin the overnight sore A with
- 3:32Speaker 3: an NFL Island game.
- 3:33Speaker 2: I mean, like a lot of stuff has to happen
- 3:36Speaker 2: for us not to go there. But I assume you've
- 3:39Speaker 2: heard and been partaking in the feeding frenzy that has
- 3:43Speaker 2: been taking place the last twenty hours or so, not
- 3:47Speaker 2: that long, I tell you that that would be the Feds.
- 3:51Speaker 2: The Feds have arrested an active NBA head coach and
- 3:55Speaker 2: an active NBA player.
- 3:58Speaker 1: That seems like a big deal.
- 4:00Speaker 2: That seems like a big don Now, you are obviously
- 4:02Speaker 2: innocent until proven guilty. Chauncey Billups, mister big shot, Piston's
- 4:09Speaker 2: legend who's been coaching toiling on the Oregon Trail with
- 4:13Speaker 2: the Portland Trailblazers, going back to their roots as the
- 4:16Speaker 2: Jail Blazers.
- 4:17Speaker 1: And Terry Rozier.
- 4:19Speaker 2: Who at one point was a valuable member the Boston Celtics.
- 4:23Speaker 2: She's been bouncing around the NBA, currently with the Miami Heat,
- 4:27Speaker 2: although I'm I'm guessing he's never going to play for
- 4:29Speaker 2: them again. But anyway, so you had Rosier, you had Billups.
- 4:34Speaker 2: They were among thirty people who had a really bad day.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Thirty people had.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Really you think you had a bad Thursday, They had
- 4:42Speaker 2: a worse Thursday. And two separate, they claim related, but
- 4:48Speaker 2: separate federal gambling investigations that involved.
- 4:51Speaker 1: The NBA and the Mob. The NBA and the Mob.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Hello, now again, this is the version of the FBI.
- 5:01Speaker 2: They don't bat a thousand, but they bat about nine hundred.
- 5:05Speaker 2: So cardingly, the FBI these schemes. Boy, this is good reading, man,
- 5:08Speaker 2: This is good reading, is what this is. So one
- 5:10Speaker 2: of them focused on insider sports betting, another that rigged
- 5:16Speaker 2: poker games coast, stuck coast and bordered the border, and
- 5:21Speaker 2: this went on for years, involving they claimed tens of
- 5:24Speaker 2: millions of dollars. Now, remember the problem the Feds have
- 5:27Speaker 2: with gambling illegally is they don't get a cut of
- 5:30Speaker 2: the money, right, they don't get the Yeah, they're not paying.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Taxes on that.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Of course, from what I read as I understand the story,
- 5:37Speaker 2: there's also some very wealthy people that got their pants
- 5:39Speaker 2: pulled down in this and they're not happy about it.
- 5:43Speaker 2: So those things together create the situation we have now
- 5:47Speaker 2: where there's tens of millions of dollars of illicit gains.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Wire fraud, that's what they couldn't remember that.
- 5:54Speaker 2: I remember in a book years ago about how they
- 5:56Speaker 2: took down the mob right wire fraud, that was the
- 5:58Speaker 2: thing right before that. They couldn't take down the mone
- 6:00Speaker 2: wire fraud, money laundering, extortion, all the big hits there,
- 6:04Speaker 2: and of course gambling.
- 6:06Speaker 1: So that's a good jumping off point. It's a massive,
- 6:09Speaker 1: massive story.
- 6:11Speaker 2: So let us discuss the question, what was your initial
- 6:16Speaker 2: reaction to Trailblazer's coach Chauncey Bilts and heat guard Terry
- 6:21Speaker 2: Roseier both being arrested by the NBA?
- 6:26Speaker 1: All right, so that's the question.
- 6:27Speaker 2: So I've got Einstein Brothers, Apollo Theater, and Farmers Market.
- 6:33Speaker 2: We're gonna mix all of these things together, and we're
- 6:35Speaker 2: gonna make a three team parlay. Is what we're gonna make,
- 6:39Speaker 2: all right. So a my first thought here is absolutely bowkers.
- 6:47Speaker 2: Where the capitol b bonkers?
- 6:51Speaker 1: Is what I'm thinking. That was my initial thought here.
- 6:55Speaker 2: This story actually started bubbling up before I went to bed.
- 6:59Speaker 1: I got some crazy sleep schedule going on.
- 7:02Speaker 2: So peple were blowing up my phone a little bit,
- 7:06Speaker 2: and by the time I woke up, there was an
- 7:08Speaker 2: FBI news conference in Brooklyn that it took took place
- 7:12Speaker 2: taking place, and so it was it was like all
- 7:13Speaker 2: hell brook Lows and uh oh my, uh wow uh
- 7:20Speaker 2: And I's like, no, this is this kid?
- 7:22Speaker 1: Is this really? Is that really what happened? Okay?
- 7:24Speaker 2: Okay, wow, I want to know more about it? Uh So,
- 7:26Speaker 2: uh what a way to tip off the NBA season.
- 7:29Speaker 1: How about that Adam Silver that's you like? That is
- 7:32Speaker 1: as that taste? Yeah? Good? Okay?
- 7:35Speaker 2: Uh so yeah, you know what happens when you assume
- 7:38Speaker 2: we assume the storylines that we would be gapping about
- 7:41Speaker 2: here to begin the NBA season were wemby Joel mb
- 7:44Speaker 2: looking like he should have a wheelchair and load management.
- 7:48Speaker 2: But no, no, we're talking about the FBI kicking in
- 7:53Speaker 2: doors and taking away NBA guys in handcuffs after games.
- 8:00Speaker 2: After games, Wawi Becauzawi would apply here.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Now.
- 8:04Speaker 2: I mentioned my phone blew up and when I woke up,
- 8:08Speaker 2: and I had an idea that it was about this. Now,
- 8:10Speaker 2: normally this only happens when somebody gets fired, I get fired,
- 8:13Speaker 2: or someone dies. So the story I was looking into
- 8:19Speaker 2: the details here, and I assume you've heard some of it.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Maybe not, Maybe you actually have a life and you
- 8:23Speaker 2: don't obsessed with this kind of stuff. So I'm digging
- 8:26Speaker 2: into it. I'm getting really deep into it. I'm like,
- 8:29Speaker 2: this is great. I mean, I mean, I'm all about
- 8:31Speaker 2: this action. And this story is like going to Einstein
- 8:36Speaker 2: Brothers the bagel shop and ordering the everything bagel.
- 8:41Speaker 1: It's got something for everyone.
- 8:43Speaker 2: It's got a Hall of Famer, a man that hit
- 8:46Speaker 2: some massive baskets. If you're of the age to remember
- 8:49Speaker 2: the Pistons that that no name, no Hall of Fame
- 8:53Speaker 2: type team and the no all time great player the
- 8:56Speaker 2: Pistons team that ended up winning the championship. Of course,
- 8:59Speaker 2: he is a whole all of Fame level ballplayer, Chauncey Bellos.
- 9:02Speaker 2: But the team when they beat the Lakers, of course,
- 9:04Speaker 2: that was more with the Laker injuries and whatnot in
- 9:06Speaker 2: the NBA Finals.
- 9:08Speaker 1: But you got that.
- 9:09Speaker 2: You got Terry Rozier when he played for the Celtics,
- 9:11Speaker 2: he had the nickname Scary Terry. If you like mob movies,
- 9:14Speaker 2: he got the Italian Mafia. It spans eleven states. You
- 9:18Speaker 2: got rigged poker games over here in places like the Hamptons.
- 9:22Speaker 2: That's where all the aristocrats hang out, all the a
- 9:24Speaker 2: holes in the Hamptons, Miami Vegas, where we're broadcasting from Manhattan.
- 9:30Speaker 1: This is like watching a Scorsese flick, is what this is.
- 9:34Speaker 2: It's Goodfellas NBA edition, Goodfellas NBA Edition, and my favorite
- 9:41Speaker 2: mob movies, not The Godfather.
- 9:42Speaker 1: It is Goodfellas.
- 9:43Speaker 2: I love Goodfellow great, just absolutely great and you could
- 9:46Speaker 2: not script it better. You got Rosier, you know, based
- 9:50Speaker 2: on what I read here, telling the mob that if
- 9:54Speaker 2: you believe the FBI story, and again it's a version
- 9:57Speaker 2: of the truth, not the whole truth, but Rosier telling
- 9:59Speaker 2: the mob, Hey, I'm gonna fake an injury so you
- 10:02Speaker 2: guys can hit the under on the on the prop bets.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Which you know, I don't know what I just do
- 10:07Speaker 1: an overnight show, do I know? But that doesn't seem
- 10:09Speaker 1: very subtle.
- 10:11Speaker 2: It's like walking into the casino wearing a neon sign
- 10:15Speaker 2: that says I'm fixing the game I'm playing over here,
- 10:20Speaker 2: you know.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Hello.
- 10:22Speaker 2: Yeah, this isn't some tiki tac violation. This is the
- 10:27Speaker 2: doomsday scenario for the for the NBA. And it's it's
- 10:30Speaker 2: funny because obviously I like gambling. I think adults should
- 10:34Speaker 2: be able to gamble. This is obviously part of the deal.
- 10:36Speaker 2: You're gonna have to deal with this kind of stuff
- 10:38Speaker 2: from time to time. But you know, it's just this
- 10:42Speaker 2: is what the commissioners for years, Oh, you cut out
- 10:44Speaker 2: have gambling, this is the worst thing in the world.
- 10:46Speaker 1: And all stuff.
- 10:47Speaker 2: But then all of a sudden they saw the checks
- 10:49Speaker 2: that they got from gambling and oh, yeah, we're fine,
- 10:53Speaker 2: but this is the worst not the worst case. I
- 10:55Speaker 2: guess the worst case scenario would be we like the
- 10:58Speaker 2: Chicago black socks scandal from back back in the day.
- 11:02Speaker 2: But nonetheless, uh, you know, it's been been like they've
- 11:05Speaker 2: been pretending this can't happen and all that stuff, and
- 11:08Speaker 2: well it's it's happened.
- 11:10Speaker 1: So now it's real.
- 11:13Speaker 2: And this is gonna make one hell of a great
- 11:16Speaker 2: Netflix true crime doc and I'm in on it. I
- 11:18Speaker 2: will watch every episode. I will binge watch it, binge
- 11:21Speaker 2: watch it. I don't normally binge watch. I can't sit
- 11:24Speaker 2: there for that long. I have to go do stuff,
- 11:26Speaker 2: but I will binge watch. And this is still in
- 11:29Speaker 2: progress right now. And you know, who knows what to
- 11:31Speaker 2: believe if people are sending me messages this, you know,
- 11:34Speaker 2: naming certain people they think are are gonna come chopping
- 11:37Speaker 2: down next. And the theory is these guys were not alone.
- 11:41Speaker 2: This was not a one off situation where normally these
- 11:44Speaker 2: guys hang out with other friends who are from former
- 11:47Speaker 2: employees they worked with or whatever, and former co workers
- 11:50Speaker 2: are basketball players or current basketball players.
- 11:53Speaker 1: So there's some people.
- 11:55Speaker 2: Right now who know these gentlemen and know they might
- 12:00Speaker 2: be on some kind of list or something like that
- 12:03Speaker 2: that are not sleeping.
- 12:04Speaker 1: We'd like to welcome them to the mal or militia.
- 12:07Speaker 2: And I don't know what they're gonna call the Netflix
- 12:09Speaker 2: true crime doc maybe whack Jobs and point guards or
- 12:11Speaker 2: something like that. But you can get the ominous piano
- 12:15Speaker 2: music playing and all that, and imagine a world where
- 12:18Speaker 2: the unders hit early and the FBI hits earlier.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Yeah, something like that. I think that she could work. Yeah,
- 12:25Speaker 1: I think that it would work.
- 12:26Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. But you guys, strap in there,
- 12:29Speaker 2: because this is this is not going away. This is
- 12:32Speaker 2: a nuke in Adam Silver's lap. And the chatter again,
- 12:37Speaker 2: the chatter who knows what's right not? You know, nobody
- 12:39Speaker 2: knows anything, and people are people love to gossip and
- 12:43Speaker 2: they love for some reason they have to tell me crap.
- 12:45Speaker 1: I don't know why. What do I know?
- 12:47Speaker 2: They're claiming there's some other big fish, including a very
- 12:50Speaker 2: well known boxer who will be involved in this.
- 12:52Speaker 1: We'll see if that happens or not.
- 12:54Speaker 2: And I don't want to get sued, so I'm not
- 12:56Speaker 2: naming anyone at all. I know nothing. I see nothing.
- 13:01Speaker 2: I'm not naming anyone. You can figure it out on
- 13:04Speaker 2: your own. I don't feel I don't want to get sued,
- 13:07Speaker 2: So boom, there you go anyway turning the page, but
- 13:10Speaker 2: not far as we bite in to the meal and
- 13:15Speaker 2: there's a lot of meat on the bone.
- 13:17Speaker 1: There's a lot of meat on the bone.
- 13:20Speaker 2: So the headlines, which are just delicious, and this thing
- 13:25Speaker 2: has been blowing up all day long into the night now.
- 13:28Speaker 2: And one of the questions, I think it's a legitimate question,
- 13:31Speaker 2: and it's kind of the obvious one. It is like
- 13:33Speaker 2: you see these headlines, Oh my god, oh man, oh mercy.
- 13:37Speaker 2: You know, there's a big effing And so if you
- 13:41Speaker 2: get down to it, how much jail time are Terry
- 13:45Speaker 2: Rosier and Chauncey Billups actually facing?
- 13:48Speaker 1: How much are they actually facing?
- 13:49Speaker 2: So if let's just take out the mallor of machete
- 13:53Speaker 2: and cut through the dog and pony show. So the
- 13:56Speaker 2: FBI put on their own and pony show, right, that's
- 14:01Speaker 2: what they put on.
- 14:02Speaker 1: You know, that's a big deal, high profile arrests.
- 14:06Speaker 2: Law enforcement loves it because it gets a lot of
- 14:07Speaker 2: attention and people love to talk about it and makes
- 14:10Speaker 2: them look good.
- 14:10Speaker 1: And so the FBI loves when they can.
- 14:13Speaker 2: Nail the the big ragou, and so this is good
- 14:17Speaker 2: for them. But you hear these very big numbers being
- 14:21Speaker 2: tossed around, you read different things, and you're like, well,
- 14:26Speaker 2: social media facing up to ten years or up to
- 14:29Speaker 2: twenty years in jail and that part of it.
- 14:33Speaker 1: And maybe I'll be wrong on this. I might be
- 14:35Speaker 1: wrong on this.
- 14:36Speaker 2: However, it is my theory that those early reports are
- 14:41Speaker 2: a trip to the Apollo Theater, and there's a special
- 14:44Speaker 2: showing at the Apollo Theater. It's called Kabuki Theater er go,
- 14:50Speaker 2: It's it's all a mirage. Now my hot take, you
- 14:54Speaker 2: ready for Buckle up? Benny's hot take, first hour hot take,
- 14:58Speaker 2: when the dust settles. None of these cats, the in
- 15:02Speaker 2: terms of Billups and Rosier, are gonna do real hard time.
- 15:05Speaker 1: Now.
- 15:05Speaker 2: It's easy for me to say, you know, we've got
- 15:06Speaker 2: guys that are incarcerated listening to the show. And I
- 15:09Speaker 2: know our buddy in Pennsylvania who's he's getting out from Chicago.
- 15:13Speaker 2: He's getting oounced at some point here, not that far away,
- 15:15Speaker 2: but he's doing some serious time. You know. I would
- 15:18Speaker 2: for me, serious time would be like, you know, a day. Now,
- 15:21Speaker 2: that would be that would be pretty bad.
- 15:23Speaker 1: But what's gonna happen here is the lawyers are gonna
- 15:25Speaker 1: get a bag.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Everyone else will be given the opportunity to sing like
- 15:30Speaker 2: a canary. And before you know it, these guys are
- 15:33Speaker 2: going to be having cocktails in Cancun. And remember up
- 15:38Speaker 2: to up to is a classic weasel phrase. Now, the
- 15:43Speaker 2: first domino to fall in this story was Johntay Porter
- 15:48Speaker 2: of the Toronto Raptors formerly and he hasn't been sentenced yet.
- 15:52Speaker 2: He's going to be sentenced in December, and so he's
- 15:56Speaker 2: looking at here we are in late October.
- 15:57Speaker 1: He's looking at up to four years.
- 16:00Speaker 2: However, it is believed that he snitched, which likely led
- 16:04Speaker 2: likely possibly led to what we have going on the
- 16:07Speaker 2: last twenty four hours. He gave the right names up
- 16:09Speaker 2: and so he'll likely get a sweetheart deal. As for
- 16:12Speaker 2: Billups and Rosier, they're not exactly El Chapo, if you
- 16:16Speaker 2: know what I'm saying on that. So they are celebrities.
- 16:21Speaker 2: Billups a bigger name, but he is he's a former celebrity.
- 16:24Speaker 2: You don't have a star when you're coaching the Trailblazers.
- 16:26Speaker 2: And Rosiers and roster spam at this point, so their accessories.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Though in a gambling ring, you gotta find a way
- 16:33Speaker 2: if your billups to blame the interpreter, right, it's always
- 16:37Speaker 2: the joke here, Just find a way. Say I have
- 16:41Speaker 2: an interpreter who he interprets the Italian mob for me.
- 16:46Speaker 2: That's the silver Bullet. Otani's playing in the World Series
- 16:50Speaker 2: on Friday Night, and he was involved in one of
- 16:52Speaker 2: these stories. Now, the worst case is these guys get
- 16:56Speaker 2: sent inced a couple of years in jail or something
- 16:57Speaker 2: like that. But realistically, you're gonna get a little jail
- 17:00Speaker 2: time at club fed and then some probation. You're gonna
- 17:03Speaker 2: have to pay a big fine and all that, and
- 17:04Speaker 2: your reputation is trashed. And that's what's gonna happen. But
- 17:07Speaker 2: when they just you know, they have to update their
- 17:10Speaker 2: passport to find a new gig, and you can go
- 17:12Speaker 2: coach in Vatican City. I think there's a team called
- 17:15Speaker 2: the Vocaro's in Vatican City or the Monaco mad Men
- 17:18Speaker 2: or something like that. But the only people guaranteed to
- 17:20Speaker 2: win here Again, to the lawyers, they always win. They
- 17:23Speaker 2: always win, they do all right. Last word, So we
- 17:27Speaker 2: go down thirty thousand feet in the sky, and we
- 17:32Speaker 2: asked the question for the esteem panel, what is the
- 17:35Speaker 2: fallout from this latest wrinkle in the NBA gambling underworld,
- 17:43Speaker 2: if you will, So, what is the fallout on this? Well,
- 17:45Speaker 2: the streets have been talking, and there's and we're gonna
- 17:48Speaker 2: talk about as we go through the overnight. But we're
- 17:50Speaker 2: hearing the you know, Congress is already there's people trying
- 17:53Speaker 2: to get some free publicity like, well, we're gonna, we're
- 17:56Speaker 2: gonna look at this and so that to me, that
- 17:59Speaker 2: is Congress is going to ride in on their white
- 18:01Speaker 2: horse and save America from prop bets. There'll be special
- 18:06Speaker 2: hearings on Capitol Hill and this is rather obvious stuff here.
- 18:09Speaker 2: Lawmakers are going to drag Adam Silver, Roger Goodell, rob Manfraud,
- 18:14Speaker 2: and Gary Bettman, the four horsemen of the gambling Apocalypse,
- 18:18Speaker 2: to DC. And the chatter is that Congress is going
- 18:22Speaker 2: to propose out long or putting restrictions on prop bets
- 18:25Speaker 2: and all that stuff.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Now you know who wins on that. Here's the ironic part.
- 18:29Speaker 2: If you play this out and looking at this logic,
- 18:32Speaker 2: can't tell me if I'm wrong or not.
- 18:33Speaker 1: I don't think I'm wrong on this. Okay, of course
- 18:35Speaker 1: I never almost never think I'm wrong.
- 18:38Speaker 2: But let's assume go down the rabbit hole where Congress
- 18:41Speaker 2: eventually bans prop bets.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Okay, you with me on that so far, you're good? Okay,
- 18:46Speaker 1: you shaking hand? Yes, all right?
- 18:47Speaker 2: So you know who ends up winning? The Italian mafia
- 18:50Speaker 2: they win. Congress is not saving anyone from anything. They're
- 18:54Speaker 2: just pushing it back to the to the alley behind
- 18:57Speaker 2: the sub shop. Seriously, if if the US, if Congress
- 19:02Speaker 2: bans prop bets, okay, the mob throws a welcome home party.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Doctor Vinnie Boombots has got balloons and Canoli's waiting.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Come on down, and don't fool yourself.
- 19:16Speaker 2: The props are have become the lifeblood of modern gambling.
- 19:21Speaker 2: And you take that away, the action is not gonna stop.
- 19:26Speaker 2: It's not It's just gonna go underground. That's just the
- 19:30Speaker 2: way it is. You go to the farmer's market, it's
- 19:34Speaker 2: forbidden fruit, the forbidden fruit effect, prohibited items gain mystique.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Have you read about prohibition and what that?
- 19:43Speaker 1: Did you know? A million years ago in America.
- 19:45Speaker 2: The mob propapalooza, cash, no oversight, no paper trail, of
- 19:50Speaker 2: course everything's done on phones now, so they'd have to
- 19:52Speaker 2: have something online, but it would be prohibition two point zero.
- 19:55Speaker 1: You cannot outlaw demand, and so you're just gonna hand it.
- 19:59Speaker 2: If they did banned these things and outlaw them legally,
- 20:02Speaker 2: you're just gonna hand them back to the wise guys
- 20:05Speaker 2: and make sure you put a nice big.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Red bow, big red bow on top.
- 20:09Speaker 2: So if this happens, Congress gets it's it gets you know,
- 20:13Speaker 2: it's press conference.
- 20:14Speaker 1: The League gets to say, hey, you know, we've got.
- 20:17Speaker 2: Integrity now we want our fans to know everything's good,
- 20:21Speaker 2: and the mob gets rich again. Brilliant what should go wrong?
- 20:26Speaker 2: Great plan? Anyway, those are some of my opening thoughts.
- 20:30Speaker 2: You want to chime in on this. I can only
- 20:31Speaker 2: imagine what the Malord militia has to say on Oh God, anyway,
- 20:35Speaker 2: if you want to reapart eight seven seven nine six

- 23:09Speaker 7: Just love a good scandal.
- 23:10Speaker 1: I do too.
- 23:11Speaker 2: Scandal to me, scandal radio is the greatest type of radio.
- 23:16Speaker 2: I love it. I can't get enough of it. It's
- 23:19Speaker 2: a feeding frenzy. Every morsel I would just I'd like
- 23:23Speaker 2: to chew every morsel. It's delicious, just great tabloid fodder.
- 23:30Speaker 2: And the reason, well the reason scandals in general are
- 23:35Speaker 2: are wonderful is because you get secondhand pleasure you do, right,
- 23:40Speaker 2: It's just it's it's titillating people bending boundaries and things
- 23:45Speaker 2: like that and enjoying the possible punishment was getting a workout. Well,
- 23:51Speaker 2: there's delight from watching someone either get away with it
- 23:57Speaker 2: or you know, even if they don't either way, and
- 24:00Speaker 2: then they beg you for forgiveness. And it's just a
- 24:04Speaker 2: nice distraction from our everyday lives and all that. So
- 24:07Speaker 2: it's not for those involved, but the upheaval, the disruption, disturbance,
- 24:14Speaker 2: all of that, all of that just a wonderful gift
- 24:18Speaker 2: for those of especially.
- 24:19Speaker 1: You do talk radio. I mean, my god, holy crap
- 24:23Speaker 1: is that great?
- 24:23Speaker 2: Is that not just a wonderful as mister irrigation from Houston? Right, So,
- 24:28Speaker 2: and it says great story, he enjoyed it a lot.
- 24:31Speaker 1: Who else do we have to see?
- 24:32Speaker 2: Page down Mister nice guy says, sent a random message
- 24:37Speaker 2: from somebody who pointed out back in January of this year,
- 24:42Speaker 2: January thirtieth, that Billups was involved in some shady stuff
- 24:47Speaker 2: as coach of the Trailblazers.
- 24:50Speaker 1: And yeah, there are.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Some some whispers that it's not just the poker thing
- 24:55Speaker 2: for billups that he's tied with the other part of
- 24:58Speaker 2: it as well, which is interesting. Nature Boy, answering the
- 25:03Speaker 2: Call to the Wild, says, the initial reaction to the
- 25:07Speaker 2: gambling story, this story might be bigger than the Travis
- 25:11Speaker 2: Taylor love story.
- 25:13Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 25:15Speaker 2: Andy in the Bluegrass says, a great call. Goodfellow is
- 25:19Speaker 2: the ultimate mob movie, perfect film. He points out Big
- 25:23Speaker 2: Rig Rob, who's now Big Bus Driver Rob, but he
- 25:27Speaker 2: still keeps the hand on whatce You're known by a name,
- 25:29Speaker 2: you can't change the name.
- 25:30Speaker 1: It's rules of overnight talk radio.
- 25:32Speaker 2: So Big Greg Rob says, Hello, Ben, cannot wait for
- 25:35Speaker 2: your opening monologue as usually nailed it. Thank you use
- 25:38Speaker 2: the money I saved from my tire rack dot Com
- 25:42Speaker 2: purchase to he says, to lay three team Parlay. I'm
- 25:47Speaker 2: pretty sure there are some nervous pro bouncy ballers out
- 25:50Speaker 2: there and that tool Adam Silver is done. It's gotta
- 25:56Speaker 2: be tough for them. The basketball writers like worship Adam Silver.
- 25:59Speaker 1: He's like a god. He's like a god, and so.
- 26:03Speaker 2: I don't know what they're gonna do, Like this is
- 26:05Speaker 2: not a great look for Adam Silver. Doc Dan from
- 26:08Speaker 2: Minnesota rights and he says, hey, man, consider yourself lucky
- 26:11Speaker 2: you were not in La at that Viking Charger game.
- 26:14Speaker 2: The Vikings left the enormous stank cloud over LA. As
- 26:18Speaker 2: a Minnesotan doc, Dan says, I'm hoping the aircraft controllers
- 26:22Speaker 2: call in sick. Well, they're all they're not getting paid,
- 26:25Speaker 2: he says, so they have have to land in Milwaukee,
- 26:28Speaker 2: or they should make him make them fly into like
- 26:33Speaker 2: Detroit and have to bust back over to Minnesota or
- 26:35Speaker 2: something like that. You know, yeah, yeah, I was gonna go.
- 26:37Speaker 2: I was supposed to go to that Viking Charger game.
- 26:39Speaker 2: I was scheduled to be there. And then the reason
- 26:42Speaker 2: I'm in Vegas is the boys from Kfan the Power
- 26:44Speaker 2: Trip Morning Show, which is a monster morning show. They
- 26:49Speaker 2: somehow like our show and so they invited me. It's
- 26:52Speaker 2: a little closer to get to Vegas from LA than
- 26:54Speaker 2: it is to Minnesota. So they're doing a show from Vegas,
- 26:58Speaker 2: their morning show after our show because we're there leading
- 27:01Speaker 2: to their show, and I'm gonna pop on over there
- 27:04Speaker 2: and hang out with those guys for a little bit.
- 27:06Speaker 7: So some back to back action this morning.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Huh, yes, you know.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Consider it a lot of radio, A lot of radio
- 27:13Speaker 2: I'll be running on fumes and they play this I've
- 27:17Speaker 2: been invited Lorena. They play this game called the Initials Game,
- 27:20Speaker 2: which is very popular, and I'm thinking, if I'm coherent,
- 27:25Speaker 2: i'll be fine. But by the time they play the game,
- 27:27Speaker 2: I want to be on Fume, so I'll be like hollering, James,
- 27:31Speaker 2: it's gonna be it's gonna be bad. So but I'm
- 27:33Speaker 2: scheduled to play that, so we'll see how that goes,
- 27:35Speaker 2: which is like yeah, but I'm excited. I mean, those
- 27:38Speaker 2: are good radio They're good radio dudes, so I'll have
- 27:41Speaker 2: we'll have some fun.
- 27:41Speaker 1: We'll have a good time. Love hanging out with radio dudes.
- 27:44Speaker 2: Fat Daddy writes in says Big Ben some great in
- 27:48Speaker 2: depth investigative reporting. There's no investigative reporting. I just told
- 27:51Speaker 2: you what I saw to that fiasco. As you just
- 27:55Speaker 2: know how to do a monologue and just investigate, investigate.
- 27:59Speaker 1: Great work. I'm pretty sure.
- 28:01Speaker 2: Uh, he says this is from Fat Daddy, not yeah,
- 28:05Speaker 2: he is the daddy.
- 28:06Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that coop de loop. You know, I

- 28:12Speaker 2: Chauncey Phillips, Cooper Loup, you never did, right, You've never
- 28:15Speaker 2: played poker with Coop?
- 28:16Speaker 1: With him? No, No, I did not.
- 28:20Speaker 7: But that being said though, yeah, and I don't know,
- 28:23Speaker 7: like whatever, I don't care. Uh, I do play at
- 28:27Speaker 7: a game that Glenn Davis was at at one point.
- 28:34Speaker 1: Well, he's in jail and the in jail, yes.

- 28:48Speaker 1: Yea, he did not. Okay, I got you. I got you?
- 28:52Speaker 2: Uh? Now are you scared at all? The thing that
- 28:55Speaker 2: blew me away? All the toys? I tease this like
- 28:59Speaker 2: I wasn't own. There's shady people involved in anything. And
- 29:03Speaker 2: I work in radio. There's a lot of shady people
- 29:05Speaker 2: in my business. And in gambling there's a lot of
- 29:07Speaker 2: shady people because there's money involved. You can win some
- 29:09Speaker 2: quick money. But the details of how the FBI claims
- 29:14Speaker 2: they were rigging these poker games is like James Bond
- 29:19Speaker 2: on steroids.
- 29:20Speaker 1: It's wild.
- 29:21Speaker 2: They had the video went viral of these glasses you
- 29:26Speaker 2: could buy in China that are X ray glasses and
- 29:30Speaker 2: then you can mark the deck and they'll tell you
- 29:33Speaker 2: what the cards.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Are so cool, it's wild They have rigged shufflers. These
- 29:39Speaker 1: are things they don't even know about that are out there.
- 29:42Speaker 1: That's crazy.
- 29:43Speaker 2: The lenses, they're like, they're really that's like wild man.
- 29:46Speaker 2: How many people? How many people ran to t mood
- 29:48Speaker 2: to try to buy those classes.
- 29:51Speaker 7: I've known about technology like this, I'm not too concerned.
- 29:54Speaker 7: I'm not playing at high stakes poker games and a
- 29:57Speaker 7: lot of this stuff like those, the rigg shufflers and
- 30:00Speaker 7: like the x X ray tables, I'm putting that in quotes.
- 30:05Speaker 7: Those are very expensive equipment. And like the games that
- 30:10Speaker 7: I go to, you're not like seeing I don't know,
- 30:15Speaker 7: hundreds of thousands of dollars being played, like at you know,
- 30:18Speaker 7: the Chauncey Billups games.
- 30:21Speaker 1: Yeah, so I just don't know that it's worth it.
- 30:23Speaker 7: And and in the situation of the marked cards, the
- 30:27Speaker 7: people who run the games would have to be in
- 30:29Speaker 7: on it. And you know, at least at least if
- 30:32Speaker 7: they look like the video, you know where the cards
- 30:34Speaker 7: are sealed already marked. But you know there's still stuff
- 30:38Speaker 7: that you can like you can market yourself as you're
- 30:41Speaker 7: playing on on legitimate cards if you have some sort
- 30:44Speaker 7: of substance on your finger.
- 30:46Speaker 2: You know what I mean, Like, yeah, yeah, for sure.
- 30:49Speaker 2: It's uh, it's wild man, It's it's crazy. And they,
- 30:53Speaker 2: you know, they were explaining you know who knows you
- 30:55Speaker 2: know this again, this is the FBI's version. I'm sure
- 30:57Speaker 2: there'll be a different version when they if this goes
- 31:00Speaker 2: to trial at some point, good luck on that. I
- 31:04Speaker 2: doubt this will go to trial, by the way, I'd
- 31:06Speaker 2: like to point that out.
- 31:07Speaker 1: Just go on the record early. I don't think it'll
- 31:08Speaker 1: go to trial, you know, go down the line.
- 31:11Speaker 2: But they said that they told the mob guys told
- 31:16Speaker 2: Chauncey he was winning too much to let the mark
- 31:19Speaker 2: win because he kept winning.
- 31:21Speaker 1: According to the FBI. Thing.
- 31:24Speaker 2: But the thing about the Feds, and it's one of
- 31:27Speaker 2: the great quotes of all time from Bino Cook, the
- 31:31Speaker 2: old long ago a college football guy, long long.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Gone, Bino Cook.
- 31:37Speaker 2: But Bino Cook once said the greatest line about the Feds.
- 31:41Speaker 2: They never have a road game, and they are the
- 31:45Speaker 2: favorites every single time they go to trial, and they
- 31:49Speaker 2: cover just about every time. You know, it's like they
- 31:53Speaker 2: have home field advantage and they're favored to win, and
- 31:56Speaker 2: they win, what is it eighty ten percent of the
- 32:00Speaker 2: time when they go to to trial. So the lawyers
- 32:03Speaker 2: will advise you to take a plea deal because you're
- 32:05Speaker 2: not gonna beat them, and that's usually how that goes.
- 32:08Speaker 2: Every once in a while, it does happen.
- 32:12Speaker 1: So we'll see.
- 32:12Speaker 2: Spots Weed writes and says, I remember when Chauncey Billups
- 32:16Speaker 2: was hired as the Trailblazers coach in twenty twenty one
- 32:19Speaker 2: over Becky Hammond. There were some assault issues in his past.
- 32:25Speaker 2: People in Portland were not happy and he was hired anyway.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Well, you don't have to worry about that, spots Weed.
- 32:30Speaker 2: I'm relatively confident that Chauncey Billups has coached his final
- 32:35Speaker 2: game in Portland or in the NBA G manage in Chicago, writes,
- 32:41Speaker 2: and he says, excellent monologue A plus. If prop bets
- 32:44Speaker 2: get banned by Congress, I'll be placing my wagers with
- 32:47Speaker 2: the trash man from Naperville, Illinois. Louis lardlegs JJ from
- 32:55Speaker 2: Reent and says, the gremlins almost got you, Ben, they
- 32:57Speaker 2: almost got Well, they can attack me all they want
- 33:00Speaker 2: my problem, that's not somebody else's problem. Let's see what
- 33:04Speaker 2: else you have? A page n gunners naming people he
- 33:07Speaker 2: thinks are going to get in trouble. Can't read that,
- 33:12Speaker 2: Ferg Dog says, the happiest man on earth right now
- 33:16Speaker 2: is Steve Balmer. He's worth more than one hundred and
- 33:19Speaker 2: fifty billion dollars. And not a single person is talking
- 33:23Speaker 2: about the Kawhi Leonard, no show job.
- 33:27Speaker 1: The Clippers are feeling pretty good. Feeling pretty good? Sure?
- 33:32Speaker 1: Why not? Absolutely? What else you have?
- 33:34Speaker 2: See page and pilots, love props bets, prop bets from
- 33:39Speaker 2: Eke in Roseville, Minnesota.
- 33:43Speaker 1: Let see, I can't read that. We'll take some calls here.
- 33:45Speaker 2: By the way, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
- 33:49Speaker 2: is the number eight seven seven nine nine six sixty
- 33:52Speaker 2: three sixty nine.
- 33:53Speaker 1: Let's go to B in Bismarck. What's going on? Be welcome? Hello, B?
- 34:00Speaker 4: How you doing?
- 34:01Speaker 2: Man?
- 34:03Speaker 1: If I if I.
- 34:04Speaker 2: Was any better, if I was any better, I'd be
- 34:07Speaker 2: a Billups. But not Chauncey Billups because he's having a
- 34:09Speaker 2: bad day.
- 34:10Speaker 7: I agree.
- 34:11Speaker 4: I agree, Speaking of which, we might have to change your.
- 34:14Speaker 2: Draft Kings thing because not all of everybody's favorite players
- 34:19Speaker 2: are playing in the NBA anymore. Well, I'm pretty sure
- 34:22Speaker 2: none of the commercials have Terry Rozier in the.
- 34:28Speaker 1: I don't.
- 34:29Speaker 2: I'm not speaking for any sponsor. I'm just I'm pretty
- 34:31Speaker 2: confident that no one's you know, and dropping his name.
- 34:34Speaker 2: I'm just saying, you know, what, do I know?
- 34:37Speaker 1: Maybe they are?
- 34:38Speaker 2: So Pete Rhodes is never allowed to be in the
- 34:41Speaker 2: Hall of Fame because there is gambling issues or any
- 34:44Speaker 2: of these nuts going to be allowed to have a
- 34:47Speaker 2: chance at the Hall of Fame. Well, Terry was here,
- 34:50Speaker 2: could buy a ticket to go to a Hall of Fame.
- 34:53Speaker 2: I don't know what you do with Chauncey Billups. They'll
- 34:56Speaker 2: argue right now, it's just.
- 34:57Speaker 1: A poker thing. They're rumors, it's more than that.
- 35:00Speaker 2: We'll see how that that all shakes down. But uh,
- 35:04Speaker 2: you know, he's he's in the middle of it. That's
- 35:07Speaker 2: that's for sure. He's in the thick of it. And
- 35:09Speaker 2: uh so you know he's he's got all kinds of
- 35:13Speaker 2: all kinds of all kinds of records and all that stuff.
- 35:16Speaker 1: And I'm very decorated career, but yeah, what what's that?
- 35:21Speaker 1: What's that?
- 35:21Speaker 2: B I feel like I feel like the NBA was
- 35:24Speaker 2: so desperate for for some ratings that they had to
- 35:28Speaker 2: bring this investigation in during the games. Oh, I promise
- 35:31Speaker 2: you they did not want this. I guarantee they did
