I believe many ubers have us on tens of them.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
This person then followed up, but well, that's why I
listened to you on iHeart so good. You can just
stick your little little thing in your ear and then
you got him. It's all good. Biggest stories of the day.
I do have Jason's NFL pick. Jason is in Miami
for the FISL iHeartRadio FISA Latina, which is I mean
every year he has to They have to have him there.
There's no way that they can even perform without Jason
(01:44):
because when I think FIS Latina, I think Jason Brown
obviously and a sixteen hundred day streak on Julipa whatever
it's called. But I have his picks here, and I
don't have the games. He just told me who's gonna
win now, he said the charges the Chargers are gonna win,
(02:04):
and I think they did win last night, So there's one.
So the charge is one. So he's one to o.
Maybe we should just stop there. Dolphins, Bears, Bengals, Panthers,
four Niners, Browns, Giants, Saints, Titans, as he would say it,
Cowboy Nation, Steelers, and Chiefs will all be winners this weekend,
(02:25):
and the par sleigh all financed.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Jalen Hurts will score a run in.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Jackson Smith And I'm sure I said that in the
last name wrong. I'm so sorry. He floods my basement
and is going to catch five times. And Jamar Gibbs
rather has lush his hair and will score one time.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Jamir did I say Jimmy the second time? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Anyway, Anyway, he is Lusha's hair, which is more important.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, and all that.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I'm just a little thrown off by that. I just
said that someone will make my will flood my basement.
So anyway, there you go. Those are your picks. You
can go back on the iHeart app and listen and
you can even bet. The fact that no one has
funsored this segment is unbelievable to me. The fact that
no betting site has come on board on Jason's Brown
NFL picks. I'm absolutely classic and epic and always correct,
(03:20):
So I don't know what's going on with them, speaking
of professional sports. I'm sad that Jason's out here to
report on this. Maybe that's what he's really doing. Maybe
he's not in Miami for a fies latina. Maybe he's
hanging out with the FBI and he's trying to get
all the inside scoop on this. But more than thirty
people I've now been indicted after a lengthy federal investigation
into illegal sports betting operations. Key names in the indictments
(03:42):
include Chauncey Billups, who's the head coach of the Portland
Trail Blazers, Terry Rozier, who's a guard for the Miami Heaton,
Damon Jones, who is a former NBA player and assistant coach.
The allegations insiders passed non public information like injuries, lineup changes,
and more to betters, and one scheme involved the u
of tech to cheat at underground poker games backed by
(04:05):
organized crime families.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
So this is wild.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You got the mafia, you got NBA professional sports, former athletes,
all this stuff. Lebron James has been indirectly linked to
the NBA's growing gambling scandal. After the investigators accused his
close friend and former teammate of leaking his injury details
to Better's. Prosecutors say that this guy told a gamber
to bet against the Lakers in February of twenty twenty
(04:29):
three because Shames wouldn't play, and he didn't. He allegedly
shared more injury tips for money, but isn't accused of
fixing games. Lebron James himself isn't under investigation and he's
not suspected of any wrongdoing either. And then the tech
they're talking about is that there were four major New
York crime families who teamed up in a high stakes
illegal poker ring using AI or advanced tech. Rather, the
(04:52):
tech included so called x ray poker tables that were
modified with LEDs or cameras to read the face down
cards through the felt, plus card trades with hidden cameras,
decoy phones with card reading ability, and decks with infrared
or barcode marking visible only with special glasses or contact lenses.
These devices are apparently being sold online for hundreds to
(05:12):
thousands of dollars. The games then targeted wealthy gamblers, including
former or current NBA stars. Losses to victims of it
I guess in some cases seven million dollars or more.
One victim alone reportedly lost one point eight million dollars
in a single game. So I don't know what all
this is, what all this means.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
What you know?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Between this and the louver thing, Like the news stories
feel like they're like old timey. It doesn't feel.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Real, like a George Clooney movie, Like.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah, okay, we're taking a ladder and we're stealing from
like one of the biggest museums in the world. And
now we got the mafia in illegal gambling rings.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, I have an update on that too. So the
excellent transition, I'll get to that tropical store. Melissa is
turning in the Caribbean Sea and will likely strengthened to
do a major hurricane by the weekend. Thedeurologists warn that
Melissa poses a serious flooding threat to Jamaica among other
places in the region, as heavy rainfall is expected to
persist for several consecutive days. The storm's outer vans are
(06:11):
already rushing Jamaica and western Haiti, where hurricane watches are
in effect. The Tropical storm warning is also an effect
for these islands, where officials are urging residents to prepare
for power outages, landslides, and dangerous seas. Alaska Airlines has
resumed operations after an information technology program forced hundreds of
flights to be grounded on Thursday. A groundstop for all
(06:32):
Alaska flights and its subsidiary, Horizon Air was looked at
eleven thirty pm last night. The groundstop was requested by
the airline about eight hours earlier when the IT outage began.
According to the FAA, they didn't immediately say what caused
the outage. Affected travelers said that some of the airlines
gates were crowded that the delays piled up. Alaska had
a similar problem in April of twenty twenty four, but
(06:55):
I guess the operations have resumed. French police investigating the
theft of one hundred million dollars in jewels from the
Loube have found a potential break in the case. Police
told ABC News that DNA evidence was found in a
helmet and a glove discarded by the thieves after the heist.
So they said that one hundred and fifty DNA samples,
(07:15):
fingerprints and other traces have been identified and that analyzing
them as a top priority. She said that the samples
could provide leads within a few days, especially if the perpetrators,
suspected to be career criminals have criminal records. But yeah, yeah,
we got mafia. Yes, we got dudes pulling up, yeah,
climbing in windows, ceiling crowns. And George Cooney was involved.
(07:36):
I swear he absolutely was. The Amazon Web Services out
is that we did talked about on I guess it
was Monday, did more than just freeze bank transfers and
disrupt Peloton workouts. It jolted some high tech mattress owners
out of sound sleep. So eight Sleep customers found themselves
stuck in uncomfortable positions, bathe in unexpected heat, or blasted
(07:58):
by alarms after their Internet connected beds malfunctioned during the
AWS downtime. According to The Washington Post, some beds locked
upright oh my, flashed lights, or simply became too warm
for comfort, some up to one hundred and ten degrees.
So eight Sleep smart beds, sold in packages that can
retail for over five thousand dollars, offer vibrating alarms and soundscapes,
(08:20):
customizable positions, and could adjust from temperatures to fifty five
to one hundred and ten degrees. One Reddit user claimed
that their bed set itself to one hundred and ten
degrees and wouldn't turn down. The CEO of the company
apologized for the root awakening and asshured customers and engineers
are networking on a backup mode designed to keep the
mattress functional even if cloud services go down again. By Monday,
(08:41):
most of the beds were back online, but your bed
was offline.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
And this is like final destination, Like every story is
crazier than the last.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Somebody else I saw online had like a coffee maker,
like a water purifire, something very basic that connected to
the internet. That that wouldn't work either, Like if the
internet's off, then you don't get no water for you. Sorry,
Like you know, I guess you have to use the sink.
Unless your sink is connected.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
To the internet. Then you wouldn't be able to do
that either. Yeah, or your fridge, the one with a
little TV. I'm assuming the house.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Fine with me, so mad imum a refrigerator with the
screen on the front of it. And then now I
gotta look at ads at my own house. I paid
for that.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I can't wait to have one. You want you want
to ads.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I do.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I do.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I want to feel like I'm immersed in something when
I'm in my kitchen. I like, I hate.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I don't want no TV, no phone. Just give me
my fridge, me and my fridge. Okay, just immerse into
here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
If you want to give me a fridge, or you
want to give me a very very cheap fridge, then
put ads on it. Fine, give me the fridge for free.
I'll put it in my house. You can put ads
on it. If I pay you for the fridge, then
a lot of money, then I don't. I shouldn't have
to look at ads. I have three things have ads
attached to them, like you know, like look, guys, there
(09:55):
are people who complained about the ads. You know, want
our show or whatever. I'm sorry, but but our our
advertising part anders are wonderful. And they got to pay
for this because we don't make you pay for it.
So there, I'm sorry about that. But if you had
to pay for this and then we were still putting
you know, and by the way, here's thirty minutes. But no,
that would be awful of us. It'd be terrible.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Like every streaming service I pay.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
For, well, that's too Yep. There is a restaurant and
I sort of like this idea. It's called Hush Harbor.
It's in Washington, DC, a new bar restaurant where phones
are locked up upon entry to create a screen free,
present moment atmosphere.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
The venue.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I guess as a Hell's kitchen, winning chef and Hush
Harbor references historical private gathering places used by enslaved African Americans,
highlighting the intention of creating a protected space for community
and conversation. Inside, guests place their phones in locked pouches,
which only open when they're leaving. Inside there are analog touches,
polaroid cameras, board games, books, and cozy vintage decorp The
(10:54):
aim is to foster real social connection, unplug time in community.
Imagine if you couldn't look at your phone for like
an hour.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Imagine there's a bar club in Detroit that takes phones,
like the ziploc bag thing. And watching my friend try
to get a girl's number was the funniest I was like,
this is how it must have been, because he had
he was trying to remember it, and then he was
trying to get a piece of paper.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
It was hysterical. You have to write it down, got
a napkin. I remember we used to do that. Yeah,
but they still do it to this day.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
They take your phone.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I don't hate this idea. I mean it's fun.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
I love going there, but I know a lot of
people freak od, especially if you have kids or whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
And this is for you and only Youkalin, because I
know you were a metal detectorist.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Really yeah, no, I knew.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Caln used to have a metal detector and she used
to like to try and find treasures.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Hey, the metal detective community has been supporting me.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
A metal detectorist from Cheshire, which is I think in Wales,
which in the UK, may have unearthed the largest Roman
coin horde ever found in Welsh history and was so
worried about losing it he slept in his car with
the loot for three nights.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
The guy's name is David. He's thirty six years old.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
He was left in disbelief after digging up two clay
pots containing what he estimates to be ten to fifteen
thousand coins in a remote part of North Wales in
August in a muddy field after six and a half
hours excavating the find with his friend Ian, which sounds
very I don't know Welsh, I guess. He alerted the landowners,
stashed the coins in a plastic box, drove home. Unwilling
(12:27):
to let the trove out of his sight. He spent
three nights camped out in his car before finally delivering
the hordes experts at the National Museum. Apparently they wanted
if they know what it is, then he gets a
reward with the landowner. He gets money, but he's like, no,
I'm sleeping on top of this stuff until we figure
out what it is.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I get my money. See rich from medel and detectorists.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I didn't even know that was a thing. I didn't
know you there was a term for what you do.
Edelin detectorist. Yeah, it's National Pharmacy Bayer Day today.

an hour.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Imagine there's a bar club in Detroit that takes phones,
like the ziploc bag thing. And watching my friend try
to get a girl's number was the funniest I was like,
this is how it must have been, because he had
he was trying to remember it, and then he was
trying to get a piece of paper.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
It was hysterical. You have to write it down, got
a napkin. I remember we used to do that. Yeah,
but they still do it to this day.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
They take your phone.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I don't hate this idea. I mean it's fun.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
I love going there, but I know a lot of
people freak od, especially if you have kids or whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
And this is for you and only Youkalin, because I
know you were a metal detectorist.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Really yeah, no, I knew.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Caln used to have a metal detector and she used
to like to try and find treasures.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Hey, the metal detective community has been supporting me.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
A metal detectorist from Cheshire, which is I think in Wales,
which in the UK, may have unearthed the largest Roman
coin horde ever found in Welsh history and was so
worried about losing it he slept in his car with
the loot for three nights.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
The guy's name is David. He's thirty six years old.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
He was left in disbelief after digging up two clay
pots containing what he estimates to be ten to fifteen
thousand coins in a remote part of North Wales in
August in a muddy field after six and a half
hours excavating the find with his friend Ian, which sounds
very I don't know Welsh, I guess. He alerted the landowners,
stashed the coins in a plastic box, drove home. Unwilling
(12:27):
to let the trove out of his sight. He spent
three nights camped out in his car before finally delivering
the hordes experts at the National Museum. Apparently they wanted
if they know what it is, then he gets a
reward with the landowner. He gets money, but he's like, no,
I'm sleeping on top of this stuff until we figure
out what it is.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I get my money. See rich from medel and detectorists.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I didn't even know that was a thing. I didn't
know you there was a term for what you do.
Edelin detectorist. Yeah, it's National Pharmacy Bayer Day today.
