big story here is the Los Angeles Dodgers. They are

let's talk to Caleb Lindsay is with us. He's actually
(01:12):
with RNL Carriers, and one to have you in for
a couple of reasons. One is I grew up my
dad grew up in Ohio. He grew up outside of Cleveland, Ohio,
in a small place called Sugar and Falls, Ohio. And
then I enjoyed my grandparents in that part of Ohio
so much. I went to Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
And every other truck you see on the freeway in
(01:35):
Ohio is RNL Carriers. Welcome to the show. Nice to
see you man. Have you had talk right in the
mic there? Nice to see you, buddy, Thank you. I
appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
RNL started in Ohio, isn't that right?
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Yes, sir, nineteen sixty five, Our original founder started it
with just a moving truck, and him and his wife
started it out and it loomed from there.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Is it bigger now than just him and his wife just.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
A little bit? You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (02:05):
I think we went from one truck in nineteen sixty
five to over twenty one thousand employees with fourteen thousand trucks.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Now we want to welcome you to California. You've been
here for a while, but you guys have just put
together the biggest center or biggest you know what do
they call it a facility in southern California.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
It's huge out in the Inland Empire.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, we call them terminals or service centers. We just
massive massive, Yeah, yeah, definitely. We're real fortunate.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
We came from a smaller terminal in Fontana and was
able to get a terminal in Blue Meeting, California.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And we went to a small.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Five acre, seventy door terminal to a three hundred and
twenty five door, sixty acre facility. Yeah, with three hundred
and fifty percent door capacity from where we were before.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
That's huge.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Now you guys, you don't just do the United States.
You're worldwide. Oh yes, sir. Yeah, and you guys have
containers going back and forth from China all the time.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yes, sir, we do all that.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
We do that, and then we also do truckload, you know,
just like one big volume shipment to wherever it needs
to go, so we cover the Gamuta freight.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I was a big when when I was younger, When
I was ten years old, I wanted a CB for
my birthday because I used to love talking to truck drivers.
I was an odd child. I used to love talking
to truck drivers. We lived in Encino at the time,
and I could pick them up in Calabasas and talk
to them until they got to about Glendale and I'd
lose them. And I literally would be up until two
(03:41):
am as a nine or ten year old talking to
truck drivers, you know, all night. And I always thought like,
that's something I wanted to do, you know, get my
own truck with my own cab, a sleeper cab and
be on the road alone. That was like a fantasy
of mine when I was a kid, and I still
love that that action. You know, those guys that are
(04:04):
you know, guys and gals that are driving those trucks,
they're the real heart and soul of America. This country
shuts down without those guys.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yeah, definitely agree, you know what I mean, They're the
ones that keep America moving, you know, that's right. And
if you bought it, a truck brought it, you know
what I mean. Yeah, you know, especially like you said
when you were coming up, I'm sure the CW McCall, CD,
the ust or.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
That's what it was.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
And yeah, boy you heard you know, come on truckers
all the.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Time, right, But I'd ask my dad, you know, I
asked him probably when he was eighty and you know I.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Was a little younger than that.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I said, Dad, when I was ten and I got
a CB for my birthday, I wanted to thank you
for that.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
He goes, oh, yeah, you're welcome, no problem.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I said, do you think it was odd that your
ten year old was talking to truck drivers till two
am every night? And you know what he said, Never
thought about it until just then. But it's a different time.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, you know, yeah, no, I I'm a third generation.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
My grandfather and his brothers drove, my dad and his
uncle and my uncle.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Is that right, yes, sir, So you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
I grew up in the truck yard, either polishing or
riding or sitting in the truck thinking. I drove a
thousand million miles one day, you know, by myself without
moving in the yard. So you know, that's kind of
the generation I came from.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
They're the greatest guys in the world. I'll tell you
a quick story about my wife was driving to Oregon
This was two years ago. It was the middle of
summer one hundred and you know, fifteen degrees outside of Reading, California,
and she gets a flat tire. I'm right after Shasta,
so right between Shasta and the Oregon border, and she's
(05:41):
the middle of nowhere. You know, it's very flat. After
you get out of Shasta, it's very flat. And she
pulls over and she calls me. She's crying. The son's
about to go down, and she doesn't what to do.
And a truck pulls over and she goes, oh, she goes,
this is it. I'm locking the doors. Another truck pulls over.
These two guys get out and they fix her tire
for nothing. They don't on any cash, they don't want anything.
They just saw a woman by herself on the side
(06:04):
of the road with a flat tire. Get out, they
fix her tire, and they move on. That's that's what
you get behind the wheel nowadays, you know, with these guys.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Yeah, definitely, you know what I mean, there's still some
of the guys out there that you know, you see
that I always want to take care of people, and
they are, you know, the last American cowboys.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Now that's right.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
All right, So RNL Carriers the website r l C right,
RLC dot com. Yes, sir, and and you guys expanding.
You know here in southern California, you have a hundred
what would you say your employees were employees right now?
We have a little over twenty one twenty one thousand.
But you're always looking for another guy.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Oh yeah, definitely, definitely.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
What is it what kind of truck driver make nowadays?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
It just averages you know, for the for the average
that we do. We try to be across the market,
so you know, you start off with your experience and
then we're on a three year tier, so you know,
we try to keep a competitive mark market and then
usually it starts out somewhere in the thirties and then
you work your way.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Okay, do long haul drivers guys are going nationwide?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Are they making more money than local guys?
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Oh? You know what, yeah, because they live in a
truck for five days a week. And the great part
about us is that you know, when you drive for
US and you drive team, usually are on the road
for five days and then you're home for two with
your family. Compared to somebody else that would just go
out there for you know, weeks or months at a time.
So you know, our fam our company is family based,
family value. You know, they want you to be home,
(07:30):
but also you know, you got your job and then
you know, you get home and you enjoy your time.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, if I were doing it, I would like the
long haul just to see the country. You know, what
are the maximum hours now you can drive? It is
eleven hours of drive time, you know what I mean. Yeah,
that's what you get now, no matter what.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
That's the law. Eleven hours of drive time.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
And they keep track of that pretty closely. Oh oh
that's a federal law.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, yes, sir.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Wow, all right, so eleven and you're done.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
You got it, and you're done. And the elogs and
everything they got. It's all computerized.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Now. It's not like back in the day when you
probably could.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Get away with a little more about like thirty probably
runs as much as you want to do back then,
you know what I mean. Now it's right now, it's
definitely regulated, and it's they oversee everything.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I used to love watching the movies, you know, but
the you know the.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Truck driver movies.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Duel was a great movie, right, and then you know
the convoy all those great you know those great songs
and and the bandit, yeah, smoking the bandit, right, yeah,
but you know that's like the last business where there's
real cowboys out there, and there's real guys out there,
you know on the you know, obviously delivering stuff like
(08:41):
you know you do it all RNL carriers, but really
living that lifestyle like it could not be nineteen seventy
two out there again, right, yeah, you.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Know a lot of them like to get out there
and drive. You know, there's no bosherut on the olds. Right,
You're doing your thing. You know, it's it's freedom.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
There's more freedom in that job than any other job
in America.

dot com. Conway Show in for John coll Belt. He'll
be on tomorrow one pm.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
All right, let's talk about crime in southern California. It
every single night, every time he turned the news on.
There's another store, jewelry store, there's another apartment, there's another
home being invaded, and in this case it's Arcadia out
near Santa Nita and a couple of guys came in,
(10:27):
robbed the house of everything, everything.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
This couple longs I'm out of Arcadia.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
The search is on for four people who broke into
a home and tied up two people at gun and
knife point police day. The suspect stole jewelry and one
of the cars belonging to the victims. It happened today
on Foothill near the Hastings Ranch Plaza. The victims were
eventually able to free themselves and they had minor injuries.
The car was found later in.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Wesley, Okay. That's in Arcadia. Arcadia's had two robberies have
gotten attention in the last week or so. There's a
jewelry store where they came in and robbed it and
took over a half million dollars worth of merchandise.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
And the.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Couple that owned the jewelry store only had ten thousand
dollars worth of insurance. So you can do the quick
math and you're right, they're out four hundred and ninety
thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
It was an older couple.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
They don't have time to, you know, to reinvent themselves
and start a new business. Their entire retirement is gone,
and so the lifestyle that they were used to is
not going is going to change radically, and it happens
every night in southern California, and a lot of people,
(11:47):
you know, you talk to different you know, cops or chiefs,
and they'll tell you that, oh, crime is down and
murders are down. It just doesn't seem like it. It
might be that I think a lot less people are
reporting crime. Here's another one in West Hollywood. This guy
tries to steal a dude's Rolex watch and he picked
(12:08):
the wrong guy. This guy is a professional fighter.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Now.
Speaker 9 (12:12):
That man was walking down Sweetser Avenue with his girlfriend
in West Hollywood when someone jumped out of a car
with a gun and targeted his rolex. But the gunman
didn't get away with anything. In fact, he was beat
up and the scuffle was caught on camera.
Speaker 10 (12:28):
And I'm not sure, but something's gone on. Please come.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
Surveillance cameras captured the chaotic scene in West Hollywood as
a neighbor frantically called nine one one after witnesses say
an armed man tried to steal someone's rolex.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Look, I don't know who's wearing rolexes nowadays. You know
you're wearing a watch. It's worth twenty thirty two hundred
thousand dollars and you're casually walking around knowing that people
are targeting you for that. Who's wearing ear rings? Diamond
ear rings? Are diamond necklace or rolex?
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Who's doing that?
Speaker 7 (13:04):
You know?
Speaker 4 (13:04):
You hear the stories.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
They're on KFI every day, They're on your local news,
you can google it. They're after these expensive pieces of jewelry.
So who's who's continuing to wear that?
Speaker 11 (13:15):
Its I mean, it just sucks, I know, but people
can't wear what they want. They have to be worried constantly.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Do you do? You have to be and that's just
it's not a way to live.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
You're right, But until we get this crime, you know, situated,
until we knock this crime down.
Speaker 11 (13:30):
Which it's never going to happen. I don't think it's
ever going to happen. I don't think crime is ever
going to get better.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
And I feel for you. That's Deborah Mark, because you
live in do do you tell people where you.
Speaker 12 (13:41):
Live in the West San Fernando, Okay, West.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
San Fernando Valley. They there's a lot of homes being
targeted out there.
Speaker 12 (13:47):
I know it's crazy and same with businesses.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Does that flip out your neighbors?
Speaker 12 (13:52):
It flips out all of us.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Yeah, so now you have to worry about getting robbed.
And you and I share this fear earthquakes.
Speaker 12 (13:59):
Oh god, I worry every day tim about earthquakes.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I wake up every morning thinking this is going to
be the day. You really do every day every day,
And sometimes I've got to talk myself out of it,
like I'll be like, Okay, it's going to happen in
five minutes's going to happen right now, It's going to
happ right in And I gotta go, hey.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
You got to talk yourself out of this. You got
to stop doing this.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
But you know, I was, I was in bed the
other day and I have like five of these, you know,
earthquake alerts.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I have these apps, and it went off.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
You know.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
It's a duck cover roll duck cover. Yeah, it was
a week ago. It was last Friday. Take cover, take cover,
take cover. It was a drill. Yeah, it was an
effing drill. So I've taken all of those things off
my phone because that's what's going to give me the heart.
Speaker 12 (14:45):
Attell oh, no, you have to put you have to
put one back.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
No.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I would rather not know, you know, because I'm sure,
you're loaded up with these things.
Speaker 11 (14:53):
I have one that works, and I forgot which one
it is, but it's the one that when there's an earthquake,
I get a two second warning.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I've taken all of them off my phone. I'd rather
not know, because look, you when you get that alert,
what do you do?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
You panic?
Speaker 12 (15:08):
I do?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Yeah, you go crazy.
Speaker 11 (15:09):
I grab my dogs, honestly, because it's usually when I'm
in bed when I get that, right, I grab my dogs.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Yeah, and then nothing happens, you know, a little bit
of shaking.
Speaker 12 (15:18):
Maybe you know we're due, man, We're due.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Yeah, And this is what who's the lady the Lucy Jones?
Lucy Jones told us this. I thought, it's pretty good.
It's not gonna help you or me, but it's pretty good.
When the big one hits, nobody will utter the words.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Hey, is this The big one will know?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah, it's going to be one hundred and twenty seconds
of the most radical shaking you've ever had.
Speaker 11 (15:44):
Let's just not put that out there. I didn't realize
you were as paranoid.
Speaker 12 (15:50):
As ion I.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
After the Northridge quake, I slept with my shoes and
socks and my jeans on for six months. I believe you,
six months. Every single night. Not a chick magnet. You know,

to the bed. I'm ready to a roll.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
All right.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Well, when we come back, we'll talk a little more
about the crime. We've got the Dodgers playing tomorrow. That's
big news. And this NBA investigation, this is blowing up

of my house.
Speaker 9 (17:35):
The target turned out to be a retired professional fighter
who was out for a walk with his girlfriend.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Ah, what are the odds of that?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
You know, your first solo grab where you're gonna go
grab somebody's Rolex and bang, turns out to be a professional,
a professional fighter in West Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
What are the odds of that?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
To have a professional fighter on the streets of West Hollywood.
You go to rob him and he kicks the crap
out of you.
Speaker 9 (18:01):
That retired fighter didn't want to show his face, but
he spoke exclusively with NBC four.
Speaker 10 (18:06):
Small black sedan pull up.
Speaker 13 (18:07):
Guy jumped out with a gun, came out me and
attacked me. I was able to disarm and take the
gun from him. I had him pinned down. He was
trying to get up.
Speaker 12 (18:15):
No wait, but not let him go.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
When the gun was loaded.
Speaker 13 (18:17):
The sun was loaded when they pulled it, when they
pulled the chair back, when popped out of the shavers.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
So wow, that guy was ready to roll. That guy
was ready to shoot that gun.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
It was ready to go.
Speaker 10 (18:25):
His girlfriend quickly jumped into help. You saw his gun too.
Speaker 14 (18:29):
I'm knowing that when the gun felt, when the gun
was wrestled to the ground, I'm the one that went
and grabbed it and picked it.
Speaker 15 (18:34):
Up and threw it over the apartment fence.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Okay, all right, the woman got involved too, That was cool.
It's a nice girlfriend or wife. I don't know how
my wife would react in that case. Maybe she would have,
you know, teamed up with the guy trying to steal Rolex,
and I would have my ass kicked by both of them.
Speaker 9 (18:51):
LA County Sheriff's deputies responded and took the gunman into custody.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Now, I wonder how long he's going to be in custody.
Will he stay in jail? Will he bail out? Is
there no bail? Is this guy gonna be on the
streets tomorrow? Who knows? LA's a odd odd But.
Speaker 10 (19:07):
The getaway driver took off.
Speaker 9 (19:09):
This incident on Sweetsir Avenue in West Hollywood happened less
than two weeks after a similar story a half mile away.
Speaker 10 (19:15):
On October tenth, three men dressed.
Speaker 9 (19:18):
In all black hopped out of a car on Hacienda Place,
then stole a Rolex wedding ring and phone from Abram Cortez,

Speaker 5 (19:40):
I saw three guys, two of them with guns and
one with a crowbar backed up.
Speaker 15 (19:44):
I threw my keys down and I started giving them
my things.
Speaker 9 (19:48):
It is unknown if these two incidents are related. Still
the news has neighbors concerned. But for someone to be
robbed at gunpoint at one pm in daylight on a Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Yeah, that's they're becoming very brazen. It is. There is
no place where you feel safe anymore.
Speaker 10 (20:04):
In la is freaky and very scary. What is your
message to the community.
Speaker 15 (20:09):
Stay vigilant and keep your head on a swivel.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Stay safe, be prepared.
Speaker 13 (20:13):
You know it's California makes it tough to carry a gun.
But you know, if everybody had a gun, this wouldn't happen.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
That's right. That's a great comment right there. It's true.
Speaker 13 (20:21):
You know, if everybody had a gun, this wouldn't happen.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
If everybody had a gun, this wouldn't happen. That's one
hundred percent correct. There's a small town that was featured
on sixty Minutes I believe in Georgia, and it was
the law that everybody in that town had to be armed.
You had to go through classes, you had to buy
a gun, and you had to have it on you
at all times. The crime rate in that town zero zero.
Speaker 13 (20:46):
You know, if everybody had a gun, this wouldn't happen.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
And as I mentioned, deputies arrested one person. The getaway
driver took off. We are working to get you a
good description of the getaway car and the people in it.
Speaker 10 (20:58):
We don't have that.
Speaker 9 (20:59):
Just if you have any information that may help investigators here,
you're asked to contact I don't La County Sheriff's Department.
We're live in West Sally with Tonight Time Alex Rosier,
NBC four New.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, and it's uh, it is rough. People buy expensive
homes and condos to try to stay away from this stuff,
but it doesn't. There doesn't seem to be anywhere in
LA that you feel safe nowhere. And they've got they've
got to get a handle of this.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
All right.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
We're live on KFI. It's Conway Show in for John Colebelt.
He'll be on tomorrow one o'clock. We'll be on till
four to fifteen. And then the Chargers take on the
Minnesota Vikings. To be a good game. The spread on
the game is minus three and a half for the Chargers,
I believe, and Duke of Sports has that line moved
at all?
Speaker 16 (21:49):
I was actually just checking South. You brought it up
still Chargers minus three and a half. If you want
to bet the Vikings money line, you'll get it at
plus one fifty five, so that one hundred dollars you'll
win a hundred fifty five bucks.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
That's pretty good. That's pretty good, all right, enjoy the game.
It starts right here at four to fifteen on KFI.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
It's Conway Show in for COLEVELT.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
So four fifteen that's when the Chargers will play the
Minnesota Vikings. Conway is sitting in for John COLEVELT. And
that that familiar laugh is Michael Krozer is back with us.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Nice to see you, Bob. What are you here till
nine ten?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Um?
Speaker 7 (22:34):
Four fifteen?
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Oh, that's that right. Everyone leaves the building at four fifteen.
Speaker 17 (22:37):
Yeah, pretty much play empties out and I think Eric's
gone for fifteen as well.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
All right, Eric Sklar, Yeah he's going, Eric Sklar.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
I asked Don McClain, who's with Petros right now? Bab boy,
MISSI American Pah took the Chevy to the levee.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
But the Levey we must hate that song. Oh he's
got it.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Yeah, he said that big problem for the NBA. These
two stories that came out today. Petro said it's a
huge problem. Brad Garrett, on a scale one to ten,
called it an eleven, and the Duke of Sports on
a scale of one to ten, called it at twelve.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
This is a big I think.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
I think it has the potential for that. I think.
I don't know if you've if you've brought it up.
Speaker 17 (23:17):
On the air or not, but the whole thing with
Rosier specifically, oh yeah, the fact that he didn't play
the rest of the year after he went out. It's
great that the implication of like maybe the NBA was
somehow trying and knew about it and kept him on
ice just to kind of cover up. That to me
could be huge exactly like what you guys are saying.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Right, because it's always the cover up that's even bigger,
you know, a bigger crime.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Than the crime.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Yeah, always, And so you know, and I'm sure that
the FBI is going to be taking a look at
that as well, you know, I.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Mean, what did you know and when did you know it? Yeah?
That big deal.
Speaker 16 (23:52):
FBI director Cash Motel said this investigation is not over,
so they're they're looking into more stuff and there could
be more arrests, more players, more coaches, who knows.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
And we have some more information on it as well.
If you're just tuning in. The NBA is had they
had a ton of arrest today, and they're looking at
two major stories. One of them inside trading, inside moves,
inside information, and people gambling on games, and the other
one is putting together these fake poker games where people
(24:23):
are cheated out of what would you say, seven million dollars.
Speaker 16 (24:27):
Yeah, these illegal poker games that Chauncey Phillips was allegedly
involved in and Damon Jones, the former coach for the
Cleveland Cavaliers. Apparently these games have been going on reportedly
since twenty nineteen and victims have been taken for over
seven million dollars.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
And they were cheating. They were the cards that they
were using were marked, Yeah, cards were marked.
Speaker 16 (24:47):
They had special dealing machines, the tables had X ray capabilities,
they had hidden cameras in the chip trays.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
And when these guys lost Monday to these former NBA
players and they couldn't pay, the NBA players turned.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
To the mob.
Speaker 16 (25:04):
Well, yeah, so the Mob was running these games supposedly,
and the Mob was supposedly paying Chauncey Billups to be
the face for this game and like the bait to
get all of these other people to the game, being like, hey,
you can play at this poker game and Chauncey Billups
will be their former NBA player, NBA champion, Hall of
Famer coach blah blah blah. That was a way to
(25:24):
entice all of these gamblers to come to this illegal
poker game.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
It's a big drawn. And then the poker game was fixed,
Oh god, and then the mob would go out and
collect the money. Yeah, all right, Well we'll see there's
more information on. Let's find out the latest on the
big WNB I'm sorry, NBA scandal, not WNBA yet, they
haven't looked into them yet.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
That might be something there as well. But NBA scandal,
it's going on right now.
Speaker 18 (25:47):
Federal investigators now say that lakerstar Lebron James is mentioned
in the indictment, however, is not directly involved in the case.
James is not accused of any wrongdoing. Agents say that
former Cleveland Cavaliers player Damon Jones got a to before
a Lakers game in February twenty twenty three that a
star Lakers player would be sitting out, and player turned
out to be Lebron James, and Jones allegedly use that
(26:08):
information to tip off other betters. In addition to Jones,
Portland Trailblazer's head coach Chauncey Billups and Mighty Heat guard
Terry Rogier are among more than thirty people charged in
the illegal gambling scheme. It consists of insider sports betting
as well as rigged poker games, both allegedly backed by
the mafia.
Speaker 15 (26:27):
The fraud is mind boggling. It's not hundreds of dollars
they had of the FBI. The fraud is mind boggling.
It's not hundreds of dollars. It's not thousands of dollars.
It's not tens of thousands of dollars. It's not even
millions of dollars. We're talking about tens of millions of
dollars in fraud and theft and robbery.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Across a mall. I wish she had started with lower
denominations here.
Speaker 15 (26:49):
The fraud is mind boggling. It's not hundreds of dollars.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
I wish she had start with. It's not pennies, it's
not nickels. It's not times, it's not quarters, it's not
fifty cent pieces. It's not silver, a fiver.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
It didn't he was kind of going down that road.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
It's not a ten.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
It's not a twenty dollars, it's not a fifty, it's
not one hundred.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Man, that guy should have went.
Speaker 15 (27:08):
Hundreds of dollars. It's not thousands of dollars. It's not
tens of thousands of dollars. It's not even millions of dollars.
We're talking about tens of millions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
I wish you would have said that first, because a
lot of people listening to KFI and watching the news
can put that together and theft.
Speaker 15 (27:25):
And robbery across a multi year investigation.
Speaker 19 (27:29):
My message to the defendants who've been rounded up today
is this, your winning streak has ended.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Your luck has run out.
Speaker 19 (27:36):
Violating the law is a losing proposition, and you can
bet on that.
Speaker 18 (27:41):
Federal prosecu say that six.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
That you can bet on it, and you can bet.
Speaker 18 (27:47):
On that federal prosecutor say that six defendants or accused
participate to get a conspiracy that exploited confidential information about
NBA athletes. Billips, a former Clipper and NBA champion with
the Detroit Pistons. Is it his fifth season as Portland's
head coach.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
That's all.
Speaker 18 (28:03):
Rosier currently is a guard for the Miami Heat. Drafted
by the Boston Celtics in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Oh man, what a mess?
Speaker 3 (28:12):
All right, before we take a break here, the Duke
of Sports gets a bonus of fifty dollars if he
reaches a certain threshold in social media.

Yeah, fun.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
But Angel is the only one who ran literally ran
into a sing alert on the way to Moronco.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
How ironic, you know.
Speaker 20 (31:06):
It was that whole thing with the five through Penalton.
I was in San Diego earlier that day and I
hit the road as soon as I could and then
boom boom.
Speaker 12 (31:18):
It's like a three hour drive.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
But thanks for coming out. You always come out on
your own dime. You make a time to come out,
and we really appreciate it.
Speaker 12 (31:26):
It was a blast.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Thanks for having me, Angel Martinez.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
All Right, maybe you love eggs like my wife, my daughter,
they love eggs. I don't really care form, but there's
a recall because six million of them might be contaminated.
Speaker 14 (31:41):
Six million eggs from Black Sheep and Ken's hens have
been recalled for this possible Slamonella contamination. The AFDA, adding
recalled products from the Black Sheep Egg Company were also
sold to retailers.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
What else do you expect from the Black Sheep Egg Company?
Speaker 14 (31:57):
Recalled products from the Black Sheep Egg Company we're also
sold to retailers and other wholesale companies in several states
including Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas between July ninth and September seventeenth,
twenty twenty five, where they may have been repackaged and
distributed to more states sell them Nello symptoms. They typically
(32:17):
start six hours to six days after swallowing the bacteria.
The most common are diarrhea, fever, and cramps.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Ah, did you hear that your eggs could produce quite
an evening for you?
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Are diarrhea? Yeah?
Speaker 14 (32:29):
Our diarrhea, fever and cramps?
Speaker 3 (32:31):
You know, I'm I have I'm lactose intolerance, so I
get that with normal eggs.
Speaker 14 (32:36):
Our diarrhea, fever, and cramps.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
According to the.
Speaker 14 (32:38):
CDC, if you have those recalled eggs, don't eat them.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Okay, wait, what's the rule?
Speaker 10 (32:44):
Don't eat them?
Speaker 1 (32:45):
All right?
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Don't eat them.
Speaker 14 (32:46):
Don't eat them, throw them out or return them for refund,
and be sure to sanitize any surfaces As for what
this means for egg prices, I spoke.
Speaker 10 (32:55):
To a number of analysts.
Speaker 14 (32:56):
They believe it's likely to be much more muted than
what we witness with.
Speaker 10 (33:00):
The bird flu.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Yeah, eggs are cheap at Walmart the other day. I
think it was like two eighty five a dozen. They've
really come down. Eggs are like dirt cheap now.
Speaker 14 (33:08):
Because of the size of this recall, six million eggs
versus many tens of millions, and because this is a
problem with the eggs and not the chickens themselves, some
great expectations there are not.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
The chickens themselves.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Where did the eggs come from? What's going on there?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (33:25):
How do they get contaminated afterwards?
Speaker 1 (33:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Yeah, diarrhea? What were the other symptoms? There's a diarrhea and.
Speaker 14 (33:37):
Donate them, throw them out a return.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
That's good here.
Speaker 20 (33:40):
If you have terry.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
Yeah, yeah, no, you're right, angels one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Right.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Diarrhea is hereditary. I don't know if you know that.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Yeah, but if your mom and dad had you know,
bad vibes with eggs die. Diarrhea is hereditary. I know that, yeah,
because it runs in your gene whatever a week.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
It works three minutes.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
It works on the four to seven show, so it
doesn't work here.
Speaker 8 (34:11):
It show.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
It's an extended version of the One o'clock Show, extended version,
the dance version of the One o'clock program. We have
time for this, Okay, breaking in Newport. We've got a
lot of people listening down in Newport Beach. Bad vibes
in Newport in Balbo Island.
Speaker 21 (34:31):
Seeing the location here, it's Marcus Avenue on thirty sixth
Street in the Balboa Peninsula of Newport Beach.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
Now they're talking about methane gas.
Speaker 21 (34:39):
Sometime yesterday so methane gas was detected in the area
and evacuations were ordered for a number of homes here
along Marcus Avenue near thirty sixth Street. The officials are
saying that this is all caused from a possible oil
intrusion from an abandoned private well underneath the property. So
(35:00):
for public safety, they have evacuated many homes. Me think
gas you know, can be toxic if it hailed in
large quantities, and is also considered flammable if ignited under
particular conditions. So again, public safety, local emergency here and
Balboa Peninsula. We can see the fire department here on.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Okay, so Balboa, bad vibes. They've got methan gas. Let's
sneak this in real quick. I love Toys r Ours.
