Funding for the SNAP food assistance program has run out.
Michigan is not going to issue benefits starting in November
as the federal budget standoff in Washington enters. It's fourth week.
It's been a whole month. This move affects about one
point four million Michiganders, and state leaders say that they
are working to soften the blow for families who rely
(00:35):
on this program. TikTok, November's coming.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, hell if we do get to what if we
get into full on travels. I realized people's jobs are
more important than other people traveling. Like they're they're getting
they're not getting paid. But now I'm thinking about that
where like end of November, that's heavy travel season, December
heavy travel season, to.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
The holidays, Like it's just it's crazy. Chauncey Billups, former
Detroit Pistons point car remember that. Yes, now he's the
head coach of the Portland Trailblazers. Well, I don't know
if he is anymore. But he was among more than
thirty people arrested in an FBI investigation into illegal gambling
(01:19):
and organized crime linked poker and sports betting schemes. Here's
where this gets crazier. The allegations include rigged high stake
poker games tied to mafia families. Oh boy, it's not
afia family, and use of insider NBA information to place bets,
(01:41):
with the league placing him on immediately. He's not the
only one wrapped up in this. There are a lot
of other players and coaches too. There are thirty. But
and again important to mention that these are allegations. These
are not convictions. Nothing has been No one's been in
court yet.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Sure yeah yeah, but if people start missing, if people
start missing and the mobs involved, Like he walked out
of h he was released yesterday. He walked out of
there and he didn't talk to anybody, but they as
he's walking out, he rubs his chin. I immediately went
to the comments, like is he talking to somebody? Is
he's like, he just does a simple like itch, but
(02:21):
like the way that it stood out.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
He's like signaling someone yes, yes, Like.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I didn't say it. I did so I looked it
up just because I went down a rabbit hole. None
of this could be true. I looked it up on
the internet. Okay, but according to the Internet, somebody scratching
their chin and the Italian mafia could be like a no, no, no,
Like I didn't say anything.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Stop it.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I don't know that that's real, because we don't know
that any of this is real.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
But I, oh, it's real.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
That's the rabbit I mean, the fact that he worked
with him is reel. But I don't know that the
chin scratching thing is actually signaling anybody.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Is that crazy?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Crazy? You think Michael Jordan and it's like.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Oh yeah, he probably got away with a lot. I
don't think he ever cheated the game. He was too
competitive for that. But the dude had a Michael Jordan
had a gambling problem.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Oh yeah, like bird Oh yeah. Hunting and fishing licenses
increasing for the first time in ten years for us
locally in the state of Michigan, they're only going to
go up about five ten bucks. But if you live
out of state and you want to hunt in state,
those are the ones that are growing up, like twenty thirty,
forty fifty dollars, depending on what you want to do.
So crazy first time in ten years they're going up,
(03:31):

us want wamp. That's three things you should know. Here's
one you probably shouldn't.

not pretend they aren't dinosaurs. Horses, horses, I get that
one a little bit because they're unpredictable, and they're so big.
They're so big, like you don't realize how big of
a horse or a horses until you stand by them.
Aquariums in the dark room constantly repeating sounds or be

a new phone. But is that really like a terrifying
life changing event? An alligator attack would be terrifying and
life change one.

that list, I think these are some of these things
are things that you can definitely be a scared or
be afraid of. I'm afraid of, Like I don't like heights.
I'm not afraid of it, but I don't like heights.
But that's like a common normal thing.

Same. Someone asked me one time, like, are you afraid
of the height though or are you afraid of falling?

the side of this thing.
