Speaker 1 (01:37):
Much of the dismay of Andy the Comic Book Guy,
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
vast and planetarily powerful microphones of FSR AMMA nating live
from the Circus Overnight the chit Chat Circus under the
Big Top, although not Circus Circus because it's a dump
from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved
(01:58):
by JJ in Rent and the Great Danny DeVito. That's right,
he loves our show. He's our favorite trash man in Boston,
the Great Danny DeVito, who tells me this portion of
the show made possible by Tire Act. For over forty years,
ti Iraq has been helping customers like Alf and Fergdog
and Mister Knights Guy find the right tires for how,
(02:18):
what and where they drive ship fast and free, which
makes Charlie in Wisconsin very happy backed by free road
hazard protection and convenient installation options like mobile tire installation
tire act dot com. The way tire buying should be.

He's looking forward to me playing the Initials game later,
which I'm told I'm playing, And he says, hey, Ben,

mad Jack very very happy. So our lead this hour,
(03:42):
we're gonna circle back around to the story everyone's yapping about.
The football game was absolute dog, absolute dog. So I
wanted to go back to the underworld, if you will.
I got a story involving the Italian Mafia, basketball players,
a lot of money, poker, sports wagering, all that stuff.
(04:05):
Just really cool stuff. So it's the story everyone's talking about. Yeah,
and if you missed it, I could have missed this.
I mean, my god, Blazer's active head coach, Chauncey Billups.
If you're old, this guy was big balls Billups for
the Pistons back of the day. Chauncey Billups has been
popped by the FEDS for rigging poker games. There's some
(04:25):
chatter on the internet that he was also involved with
futzing around with basketball outcomes. Who knows if that's true
or not. The bigger issue is to me at this point,
and then we'll see what happens with the Billups story.
If it's just a poker story, okay, that's not great.
But the part of it involving fixing or prop bets
(04:46):
or outcomes of games. That's a much bigger deal. That's
a much bigger deal. And Heat guard Terry Roseier is
in the mud on this one. Former selt he was
not a scary Terry. He's in the deep doodoo at
this point. Now, if you haven't been following the Feds,
the FBI says that Terry Rozier, who has bounced around,
(05:07):
played with the Celtics Hornets and heat This happened when
he was in Charlotte. Terry Rozier told the defendants that
the mob guys that he was going to leave a
game early. This is in March of twenty twenty three.
He was going to have an injury. He somehow knew
he was going to have an injury. It's very interesting
that he was gonna have an injury. So the defendants
then went out and did what anyone would do if
(05:28):
they knew that the player was going to leave the
game early. They placed more than two hundred thousand dollars
of wagers at various sports books that Rosier would go
under all the prop bets that they had for that game.
And sure enough, as he said, he's a man of
his word. Terry Rozier recorded the FBI left the game
after nine minutes. Whoopee, damn knew they won all their bets.
(05:53):
There's one thing the sportsbooks don't like, losing bets anyway.
You combine that with the fact that the people in
Major League Baseball have put not one but two pitchers
for the Cleveland Guardians, Luis Ortiz and Emmanuel class A
on paid administrative leave for yep fusing around with prop bets.
(06:15):
Both accused of throwing non competitive pitches, uncompetitive pitches to
fix the outcome of prop bets. Now, I'm somebody likes
to gamble, you know, casual at it. Obviously, sometimes I'm
better than an other times. Nobody is consistently that great
at it. Right, you pick your spots. You can do
well if you pick your spots. Most people can't pick
their spots and they want to have a little action
(06:38):
every day, and that's where you get in trouble, and
that's part of the problem. So the fact that we
now have a basketball player, we've actually had two. We
have Johntay Porter, the original guy that started this, the
first Domino, Johntay Porter with the Raptors. Terry Rosier with hornets,
now with the heat two baseball players, So let us
discuss as that's the jumping off point the question, will
(07:02):
this massive gambling scandal with the basketball player Terry Rosier
throwing prop bets, that's the allegation, combined with Cleveland Guardian
pictures doing the same thing, will it lead to all
of sports gambling being outlined? We talked earlier in the
show in a previous hour about prop bets being outlawed,
but what about just everything just saying well, we can't
(07:24):
do it. The only place it will be legal again
is in Nevada, where we happy to be doing the
show here in Vegas, the mecca of sports gambling, as
the Great Mike Harmon sent me a message. Good timing, Yeah,
the good timing where its happened to be here on
the day the biggest gambling scandal in recent times has broken.
So to answer the question, though, will all of this
(07:44):
lead to sports gambling being outlawed? One hundred percent. I've
got b ANDNG Foods, TOFU Salad and CB Radio and
we'll combine all of these things together and we're going
to try to win a little bit of babaganooche on
the roulette wheel. Okay, now to kick off here, the
(08:06):
sports gambling ship, if you look at it as a
sports gambling ship, a big, giant, massive ship. It didn't
just leave the port. It burned the dock, it kissed
the lighthouse goodbye, and is now halfway to Bermuda. It's
going right to the Bermuda Triangle as we speak right now.
(08:28):
And so the ship, I'm trying, it's sale. You can't
unring the bell. I don't know how many other ways
I can say this here. The leagues, the States, the Feds,
the books, they're all knee deep in this. And everyone
involved in this part of the world, everything involved in it.
They're all big fans of B and G foods, iconic mascot,
(08:51):
the jolly green giant big statue there in Minnesota. They're
making too much money. Now, as we mentioned, what you
will get is more government oversight. That's obviously. You don't
need me to tell you that. You know this kind
of stuff. Politicians love free publicity. There'll be more red tape,
they'll be public hearings, there'll be statements about integrity from
(09:12):
the commissioners. And we are on the bottom of that.
We're gonna get the bottom of as and all you
feed me on that, you feel me on that, yes,
or you feed me from Chicago. So let's be honest here.
It's the sports books themselves that are catching most of
this stuff. And from what I understand the FBI, all
of the FBI's investigation was based on the sports books saying, hey,
(09:33):
wait a minute, we're losing money and this isn't kosher.
Something's going on, and so that's going to be the defense.
That's going to be the span. It's like, there's going
to be gambling no matter what. We want this to
be the way it is because we're the good guys.
We're the ones that are policing this, and that's just
(09:55):
the way it is. And of course they want you
to gamble. I like the game, well, they don't care
as long as you don't count cards. And in sports wagering,
if you're someone who's I don't know, an NBA player
and you tell your buddy, say bet a bunch of
money there, because I'm gonna take myself out of the
game and I'm not going to hit any of my props.
(10:17):
And if you do that, that's sports gambling's card accounting taboo.
Can't do it, you'll get dinged. However, keep it legal,
keep it legal. Piece everybody everyone involved here, the league,
the operators, the networks. Everyone is on the gravy train.
(10:37):
They're on the gravy train. It's a gold rush. And
you put all these things together. I ain't up rules
and whatnot. It's like anything in society. There are rules
against murder. People still kill people. There's rules against drugs.
People still do drugs. There's rules against drinking and driving.
People still knuckleheads and do that. But bad actors will
(11:00):
always exist. Whatever we're talking about. We happen to be
talking about sports gambling now, and whatever the vice is,
it's just part of the human condition. So you don't
ruin it for the grownups who just want to bet
a three team parlay after working twelve hours at a
sweatshop warehouse. And so there is some nuance here. There's
no outlaw Burger on this one. It's America's obsession. And
(11:27):
I imagine they'll cut back in some of the advertising stuff,
which I don't support, you know, so I'll be come
in the advertising business now. Furthermore, we mentioned this NBA
gambling mess is getting a We said what's going to
be a Netflix true crime guarantee, there'll be a four
part true crime Netflix docu series. We can't do it
(11:48):
yet because it's going on right now. Can't do it,
cannot do it. It's tropicana, freshly squeezed juice. The nectar
of the Gods is what this is here? So question
you want to make a bet, wink wink where this
NBA gambling scandal is headed. In addition to the Netflix now,
(12:08):
there have been rumors there have been names that have
been tossed out. People have been sending me names. I'm
not gonna repeat them because I don't want to get sued.
I just want to enjoy my weekend. I don't want
to get sued, so I'm not going to repeat them.
But we're talking about some of all time greats. One
of the great boxers of all time. People have been
sending me his name. There's a very well known basketball player,
more well known than Chelsea Billips whose name has been
(12:30):
mentioned to me. So we'll see if those names pop
up or not in the coming days. The FBI is
claiming that there's going to be more to this story. However,
forget about that as a distant relative of Nostra Damis
and a friend of Nostradinas. The ghost of Christmas future
tells me that this movie is not Netflix, a real movie.
(12:54):
The movie Pitch is going to be great. It's got
a court date attached to it, but it's going to
be absolutely great. Hollywood, lay up, lay up for Hollywood.
They're gonna make this thing into a movie faster than
you can say Ocean's eleven with a jump shot. Man again,
it's perfect, one hundred percent. This is gonna be a movie. Uh.
(13:15):
You got altered shuffling machines, You've got X ray poker tables,
you've got contact lenses, reading cards. This is James Bond,
but modern James Bond, all over a gambling ring. The
fact that they've cooked up these devices is fascinating. We
talked about it earlier in the overnight. You probably weren't listening.
(13:36):
Then this is like Mission impossible, pick and roll edition
and right out of Central Casting. Can you not see
Jamie Fox as Chauncey Bhillips. I can see that. Who's
gonna play Adam Silver? Who's gonna Who's gonna do that?
How about that Steve Withskemi? Right? That guy? I could
I could walk around there, and he could. If you
(13:58):
found some kind of cock coach and his tofu salad,
you could have the off site person calling plays like
they're calling audibles, like Peyton Manning when he played O
Maha omaha o ma at the line of scripts. Somebody's
getting the Hollywood glow in this story. And we even
have our signature scene. So I was obsessed with I
(14:20):
was reading all about it as we were driving here
to Vegas. I forced the wife to drive so I
could read all about this stuff. So the signature scene
from my movie is scary Terry Terry Rosier who took
himself out lingering to win a prop bet for his
buddies who in the mafia, and those bets paid big
(14:42):
tens of thousands of dollars in profits. And the FBI
says the defendants and Rosier again, this is their version.
Who knows if it's the truth or not. Sometimes they
embellish these things. But they're claiming that Rosier counted the
money at his house with the defenders they won all
this money, which I that seems like bull crap because
(15:04):
it's a lot of stuff's done digitally. So the idea
that they're in my head. They say, count the money.
That's like they're laying around and you know, wearing wife beaters,
they got X ray goggles on. They're smoking cigars, eating
spaghetti and meatballs with Marinera sauce, and they're surrounded by
a bunch of money. Like it's the El Choppa or
something like that. All right, we move away from that
(15:25):
story now the last thing. To the NFL we go,
and we are not going to talk about the morbid
vikings who decided and I wish they had let me
know they weren't going to play hard. I would have
gone the other way on the game speaking of gambling.
But to the NFL, we go, Miami, Miami, Miami, where
the Cheetah has weighed in on whether or not he's
dun Skis. He says that he is undecided at this
(15:49):
point whether or not he will ever play again in
the NFL. So the question, all right, Dolphin star wide
receiver Tyreek Hill saying in a recent interview that he's
undecided about what to retire or continue playing in the NFL.
What do you expect for Tyreek Hill? All right, So
there is a better chance that there's a collab between
(16:13):
Pillsbury and the people that make ozempic, and you have
the Pillsbury dough boy losing weight on ozebic. There's a
better chance that that co lab happens. The answer is,
there's no chance r Tyreek Kill is going to keep
playing stop right, squad Douche. Is the chance that he's
not gonna play. You'll have to get Sonic the Hedgehog
(16:36):
level headge trimmers to cut the uniform off Tyreek Hill. Why,
as our friends the truck drivers say on the CBE
radio ten four good buddet, Tyreek Hill has at least
ten kids with at least four baby mamas ten to
four that well, he's the daddy. Yeah, yeah, a lot,
a lot of daddy. So this ain't a guy who's
(16:58):
walking away to go work the deep friar at Arby's.
That's not happening. Okay, it's not abby. He goes the
moment he stops playing in the NFL ten kids child
you know, in payments to have to go to all
the kids, for the for the the moms or whatnot.
So he goes from the penthouse to the poorhouse in
the blink of an eye. The moment he stops playing.
(17:21):
We all know it. He's not retiring and if anything,
he's just kind of chilling right now. He can't play
anyway because he's injured. He won't be able to play
for like a year, and he is cooked in Miami.
He's dun Ski's in Miami. The Dolphins are expected to
release him at the end of this season, and we
one of the roster moves the Dolphins making, so then
(17:42):
go back to Kansas City or somewhere else and he
can hop around on one leg. It is the Ben

I'm not a huge Springsteen fan, but you know whatever, No.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
You know who loves Springsteen. These baseball writers. They always
when I was covering baseball, those guys loved Bruce Springsteen.
They were like there was a cult of baseball.
Speaker 11 (33:25):

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (33:27):
Moving over to television, we have a documentary out this weekend.

Is this who Killed the Montreal Expos thing on Netflix?
Speaker 11 (34:14):
I did not even know about that.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Yeah, it came out a couple of days ago. And
I'm really I was tight with Kevin Malone, who was
the GM of the Dodgers, but he was with the Expos.
And Kevin always had a poster We're not posted that
photo of the Expos, the ninety four Expos. They never
got to play in the World Series because there was
a strike, and he said that was the greatest team.
Of course he was biased because he was in Montreal,
(34:37):
but he's the greatest team ever and they never got
to win and all that. But I'm looking forward to
seeing that. I hear, I hear they trash this guy,
David Samson, who I know him a little bit back
in the day. I knew him, So I'm looking forward to.
It's gonna be fun.
Speaker 10 (34:49):
That's interesting because I literally just I mean yesterday, the
day before explained to my wife because she was like,
because you know, she sew CCS. Wh's in the World
Series And she's like yeah, She's like what, so like
that team just represents all of Canada and I'm like, yeah,
pretty much.
Speaker 11 (35:04):
And then I was like, but not always. There used
to be a.
Speaker 10 (35:07):
Team in Montreal, and then interestingly enough, they moved to
our capital.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Of all. Yeah, well they were run by Major League
Baseball for a few years when they were before they
left Montreal. But yeah, they were talking about getting rid
of the team altogether, which was never gonna happen. But
they had some amazing players. Pedro Martinez perform the Red Sox,
Larry Walker flat to Lattie. Yeah, yeah, I went to
your angels, I mean, And there was always when I
was around the Dodgers, it was always tough for guys
(35:34):
to go to Montreal. Not because Montreal was good, they were,
but the Ballet coop in Montreal legendary. Oh the ballet there.
The players were distracted by the ballet.
Speaker 11 (35:43):
So next Canadian meet and greet Montreal.
