Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Indeed number one touch show in the Ohio Valley. This
is the bloom Daddy Experience. Your host, bloom Daddy. His
goal inform, entertain and tick people off. The bloom Daddy
Experience on news Radio eleven seventy. WWVA starts now.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
The bloom Daddy Experience. It's seven oh six on news
Radio eleven seventy.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Money is the root of all evil.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Let's go to Scott Davidson, WTAM eleven hundred sports gambling expert,
Portland Trailblazers coach Chauncey Phillips, Miami Heat Guard Terry Rosier.
More than thirty other people charge a connection with these schemes.
Two schemes here, Scott involving illegal sports betting and rig
poker games backed by the mafia. So in the first case,
six defendants accused of participating in an insider sports betting conspiracy.

(00:51):
That first case, it was all about the prop bet
in guys taking them out of games. Rosier being accused
of taking himself out of a game with a footage
nine minutes in.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
That's right, he was planned for Charlotte them. This was
back in twenty twenty three. And by the way, this
isn't the first time this has happened. This is connected
to the John day Porter situation where he got banned
from the league for doing the same thing. So what
happens is and this one's called Operation Nothing but Bett.
I love the names of these things instead of nothing
but net. That's what they've named this one. And what

(01:23):
they do is is they're providing information with the help
of obviously these sinister crime families, two betters who are
placing large wagers on these guys, on prop bets. And
if you're not familiar with the prop bet I don't
want to get in the weeds too deep. But what
those are are They are specific bets on players performances,
not on the outcome of a game. For example, And

(01:46):
I'll make a simple one. Will Terry Rozier score more
or less than ten points in a game? Now, what
happens here is is they tell these betters that Rosier
is going to score less. There's no way to manipulate
these results by saying they're going to score more, because
you never know if he's going to make the shots,
miss the shots, that's impossible. The way they manipulate will

(02:09):
they score less than the ten points? It's very simple.
They tell the players to bet these large amounts on
the under. He goes into the game and this is
exactly what happened to him and a Johntay Porti border
and mysteriously, mysteriously has an injury after he's in there
for five or six minutes, where he tells the coach
he has he strained his foot, he hurt his ankle,
he did something to his knee. He goes out of

(02:30):
the game, he hasn't scored anything, two four points and
the bet cashes. And the thing is, these guys get
caught because of the bells and whistles that we've talked
about before that go off when these weird large bets
are made on strange props.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Well, in regard to Rochier, who went to Shaker Heights
High School born in Youngstown, he told other players that
he was gonna do this, I mean, how stupid can
you be because everybody talks number one and apparently you
know a lot of people get the information by threatening
Porter because of his pre existing gambling debts.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Well, you can't be much stupid or not only to
tell people, but to do it in general. Because all
of these prop bets and all of the bets made
in these legal sports books and people. I really find
it hard to understand when people say, look what sports
betting has done legally. If this was done illegally, like
it would have been done twenty years ago, it would

(03:26):
have been impossible to trace and catch. It would have
taken much more legwork. The algorithms that are set up
to find these bets and to make the bells and
whistles go off make it even dumber bloombaddy for these
guys to do it, because every one of them is
going to get caught. And the solution is to lower
the amount that these books will take on prop bets,
which they do to winning players. So I don't understand

(03:48):
how these guys are getting this much down. That's the
part that miffs me.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Some are calling for prop bets to just be vanquished period.
What are your thoughts on that?

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Again, I don't think vanquishing them is the right solution.
Lower the limits on them. If you let people bet
one hundred dollars on prop bets, or even two hundred dollars,
there's no way for these massive scams to go on.
These guys are betting thirteen fifteen twenty thousand dollars across
multiple sports books on the same prop and they're all

(04:21):
coming in on the same day and on the same game.
It is so easy to detect that I am blown
away by the brashness of these guys that think they're
going to get away with it.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Is it brashness or is it stupidity or both?

Speaker 4 (04:33):
Well, I would call it a combination of the two.
I mean it just it just how can you with
any crime? I watch a lot of Court TV. Does
that make me an expert on crime? No, but it
makes me know that there's a camera everywhere anymore. You
cannot get away with these crimes, especially these ones like this.
I mean it's really I think stupidity ranks number one

(04:56):
on it. Brashness is second.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
All Right, we covered the first case.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
The second case, to me is even more I don't
want to use the word incredible, but it's straight out
of Hollywood. You're talking about using former professional athletes to
use technology to steal millions of dollars in underground poker
games that were backed by mafia families. I mean, literally,
that is straight out of Hollywood. We're going to cover
that next, so don't go anywhere. You're listening to the

(05:21):
Bloom Daddy Show back with more after this money, money, money,
Everybody's always getting in trouble over money. Portland Trail Blazer's
head coach Chauncey Billups, Miami heat guard Terry Rozier among
more than thirty people charged in connection with schemes involving
illegal sports betting rig poker games backed by the mafia.
Also Damon Jones, former Cavs player and coach involved in this. Allegedly,

(05:45):
the money made out of a lot of this was
laundered by members of the ring, if you will, some
of it was converted into cryptocurrency to avoid being detected
by law enforcement. You had a confidential source record more
than three thousand phone calls and meetings with the targets
of this investigation. You also have a source introducing undercover
agents to the targets who participated in this rig poker game,

(06:10):
and that poker game involved cheating devices like a rigged
shuffling device. Scott Davidson WTAM, eleven hundred sports gambling expert
joining us.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
I wanted to ask you.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
We talked about the first one involving Terry Rogier, players.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Taking themselves out of games.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Early prop bets to make sure that people you know, whoever, whatever.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
They bet on would end up winning.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
But that relied on a network of strawbetter Scott, what
exactly is a straw better?

Speaker 4 (06:37):
Yeah, a strawbetter is and there's another term for it
called a beard. Is just simply a person who opens
an account under someone else's name. Now they can't do
it without that person's knowledge. So what they're doing is
they're opening sports book accounts in multiple sports books and
having multiple people open these accounts for them in someone

(06:57):
else's name, so are not detected as the person who's
making the bets, especially when they're caught on these wires
and b When other people who are unseasoned professionals open
these accounts at books, their limits are far higher than
if a designated sharp player opens an account. So this
is the way to a circumvent the rules and be beard,

(07:21):
meaning hide behind a mask.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
All right, Former Cavs player coach Damon Jones, what did
he do allegedly?

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Well, he did a lot. He was involved in both
of these indictments. He's the only player that was indicted
in both. So we'll get to the poker thing in
a minute. But he was passing on information just like
some of these other guys were about guys that were
going to tank the prop debts. But I also found
two instances when he was an unofficial coach with the

(07:48):
Lakers where he provided information to a large better. Now,
this is the first one you're going to hear about
bloom Daddy that doesn't involve a prop about a prominent
player not playing that night. For example, I think it
was Anthony Davis, but I don't want to say for sure.
The Lakers were playing Oklahoma City, and this Damon Jones

(08:09):
told a large better that Ad was going to miss
the game with an injury. The line moved four points.
In other words, this guy didn't move at four points.
When this word gets out and he starts the bet
and then tells other people the line moves extensively. Well,
the problem is he ended up playing. The information was
bogus and the guy lost his bet. He was charged

(08:31):
twenty five hundred dollars by Jones for the information. After
he lost one hundred grand, he tried to get his
twenty five hundred backs that info. But secondly it happened again,
and the other time I believe It was with Lebron
after he broke the scoring record of Jabbary. This guy,
Damon Jones, told the same guy that Lebron was going

(08:52):
to skip another game. This was against the Bucks and
they pounded Milwaukee and this one won. Lebron didn't play
and the bet went on to cat. So again, this
is another way that these things happen. These are just
really highly illegal things to be spreading that information as
an insider on the coaching staff to betters.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, it's like insider trading on Wall Street. It's the
same thing.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
All right, Let's go to case number two, Chauncey Billups,
because this is the one right out of Hollywood, this
illegal poker takedown. So you had individuals targeting victims known
as fish, who are lured in. They're told, hey, look,
you can play in these poker games, big money poker games,
and you could sit and play with big time stars

(09:33):
like Chauncey Billups and blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Those guys are known as the face cards.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
They're like the face, that's the face you're going to
use to lure the fish in.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
And the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Was rigged and the fish, the pro athletes know it's rigged,
and they were nailing these guys for a lot of money, a.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
Lot of money to the tune of seven million dollars
in lost money wow, by players who were playing in
games that they couldn't win. Before I explained, I want
to say one thing. There's a big difference between the
poker victims and the victims with the sports betting scam.
And here's the difference. The victim in the sports betting
scam is the sports book. They're the ones who are

(10:12):
getting built because all those bets win. It's hard to
feel sorry for some of them. They make millions and millions.
They're the ones who got built in this one. It's
individuals who are getting built by the scam that you
just set up, that you just described, which was called
Operation Royal Flush, and they used all kinds of high
tech equipment to scam these guys. So they get him in,

(10:34):
just like you said, with the face with the Chauncey
billups with the Damon Jones and tell them they're going
to be playing in these games. It lures these high
rollers in who think they're playing in the legitimate game,
but they were using all kinds of tactics here once
they got him into the games, high tech cheating gadgets
to steal millions from them. Like card readers. They had

(10:54):
cameras hidden cameras underneath the table that could read the
cards that were faced down on the that the guys
that were playing legitimately didn't know were there. They had
pre marked cards, They had shufflers that were rigged to
deal out cards in a specific way so that they
would not have the best hands. There was every safeguard
in place to make sure none of these guys ever won.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Like I said, right out of Hollywood and all this
is backed by Lecos and Ostra. So much for the
mafia being exonerated in the United States. Huh, not exonerated,
but vanquished. I should say that, yeah, they're not.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
They're around. And the thing is, these guys who were
playing in these games were completely had no knowledge of
this happening. Now, when you talk about the mafia getting involved,
this is where it went to another level. All of
the things that happened when the mafia gets involved with
high money things happened here, from having money laundering charges
to to you know, all of the things that they
do to hide money and shell corporations and so forth.

(11:51):
But the problem really came in for these guys who
lost millions of dollars when they didn't pay. You know, truthfully,
gambling when you bet with BOOKI is, before we had
all this stuff, is an honor business. You know, you
would bet with the guy, you go meet him under
the bridge on four to eighty, and you pay him
your portrait fee if you lose. But this, this is
a whole nother level. This is one of those things

(12:13):
where you know, you have a whale in here that
loses one point two million dollars who doesn't want to
pay or finds out that something was fishy and says
I'm not paying, and then uh, the intimidation started and
the violence started. So this is such a widespread thing.
This has been a day that really really upset me.
I mean, it's really unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Talking to Scott Davidson WTAM eleven hundred sports gambling expert,
it's unbelievable too because of the connections to Cleveland. You know,
we're still living the Emmanuel Classe Luis Ortiz major League
Baseball gambling investigation. Now you've got Terry Rozier, you know,
from Shaker Heights you've got Damon Jones, former Cavs player coach.
Not as involved obviously, or the connection not as strong

(12:56):
as Class A in Ortiz, but still nonetheless the two
biggest sports gambling scandals to Hint in decades, and they
both have links to Cleveland.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
Well, let's go to Rosier first and foremost. The guy
grew up in Youngstown. That's all you need to know.
I know, I mean, I know that is loaded with
the mafioso there and all this stuff. And one of
the things I always said, you know, and I've lived
in other places. I've been here a long long time,
but I also lived in Florida for twenty years. Ohio
is a hotbed of sports betting and gambling. It always
has been. It's you know, we love our sports here

(13:28):
and sports is a huge part of the fabric of
the lifestyle here in Ohio. And people have always met
with bookies and it's been going on forever. So I'm
not I'm not really surprised that there's connections to Ohio.
I'm disappointed, especially with what's happened today.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Real quick, there was a football game recently with a
couple of field goals that made zero sense unless the
head coaches knew what the line was on the game.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
You pointed it out to me. Explain it real quick.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Okay, this is a college football game, and there is
no way at this point that this is fixed. I
don't think it's fixed. What I think it happens here
is all these college football coaches want to please their
fans and their alumni. So this is something I have
never seen happen, and I'm going to try to do
it slow here. The points spread on the game was
twenty six. Indiana was favored. They're playing Michigan State, so

(14:23):
to win the bet, Indiana has to win by twenty
seven or more. Okay, understand, yep. They have the ball.
They are up twenty five with two minutes left. It's
fourth down and one. They're driving in to score a touchdown.
All you do there, what is go for it and
if you miss it, so what, it doesn't matter. They
at the two minute warning came out and kick the

(14:45):
field goal to make it go from twenty five to
twenty eight. Something I've never seen before. They cover the spread, right, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
You're up twenty five points, you just you just run
the ball on fourth down. You give it to the
other team game over, you've got your win, but instead
they be the spread over all the time.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
No, because this second part is the part that blew
my mind. Michigan State gets the ball back. They're down
twenty eight now, so they need at least three points
to cover. But they would never kick a field goal,
right because they're down four touchdowns. They got down there
and it was fourth down and thirteen on the twenty
going in for a touchdown. You're gonna chuck one into

(15:23):
the end zone to try and if you get a touchdown,
you cover the spread. That's okay. The guy for Michigan State,
that coach sends his field goal kicker out and says
right back at you, you know what, kicked the field
goal and made it go back to twenty five and
that's where it ended.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
So two field goals in those situations that ninety nine
point nine percent of the time are never even attempted.
Both are attempted and made, and the line switches twice
in the final two minutes. And that's what gets people
thinking that this stuff is fixed.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
I agree. I don't think it's a fix, but I
do think that these guys, these coaches, everybody knows the
spreads anymore. It's not taboo anymore, you know, and from
your from your family and friends down to alumni. Everybody
knows the number and wants to cover the number if
you're close to the number. And these two coaches really

(16:15):
should be called on the carpet for this, both of them.
It was almost unreal to me as I look back
on it. I've seen it happen one time. I've never
seen it come back the other way in a high
spread like that, like happened on Saturday. I was shocked.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Scott, thanks for the insight. As always, you got it right.
It's ka Bloem Scott David supports gambling expert.

Speaker 5 (16:37):
Welcome back. It's seven point thirty six the Bloem Daddy Experience.
Samon Otis or Typhoid Mary, whichever you prefer. Here on
news radio eleven seventy WWVA. I am here, I am back.

Speaker 4 (17:13):

Speaker 5 (17:13):
Well yeah, additional let's put it that way, additional meds. Which,
by the way, as we talked about, Wednesday was my birthday.
Let me tell you what I got for my birthday, folks.
Besides this lovely mess, I ended up going to doctor's
urgent care, which they were wonderful. I got a shot

(17:34):
in the bomb cheek hurt laika, you know what. It
still was quite tender, along with a card from my
mother that I had to bring in this morning for
OTIS because I open it up and all it has
on the very front of the card in giant word
or in giant letters, it just says moist. That's all

(17:57):
it says, folks. It doesn't say happy birthday, and on
the inside it says now your birthday can only get
better from here. Then my mother put couldn't resist. I
know how much you love this word. So there you
have it. I got a shot in the butt cheek
for my birthday and a card that says moist on
the front, and then of course the wonderful guests from OTIS.

(18:18):
But yeah, so that was fun. That was fun. But
the folks yesterday at Doctor's are urgent Care was wonderful.
So I may start on a coughing campaign. If I do, Otis,
I'm going to point at you because once I start,
I can't stop. Did you miss me yesterday?

Absolutely not.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
Do that.

Speaker 5 (18:40):
That's what I can't have you do what make you laugh? Yeah,
because then that's what makes me cough. One of the
things we didn't get to yesterday, or Otis didn't get
to free ice cream is usually what we do on

Smarty's so smarty that are just more sour than the regulars.
And then I don't know, I got like three or
four little candy things because I yelled at him, miss
where's your candy?

Speaker 5 (21:13):
I'm a three musketeer girl.

Speaker 6 (21:15):
Yeah, I can do three muskets chilled.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
It has to be chilled.

Speaker 6 (21:17):
Oh, I like, well, Reese cups are better at the fridge.
And I like the white chocolate ones better than I
do the regular ones.

Speaker 5 (21:24):
Really, white chocolate is just not even chocolate. It's like
pure sugar. There's no cocoa beans in it, Like it's
not chocolate.

Speaker 6 (21:35):
Well, they call it white chocolate for a reason, and
it's not. Jason Williams. That was his nickname when he
played in the Jason Williams went to high school with
Randy Boss. Okay, Randy went to the NFL, Jason went
to the NBA. And if you've never seen Jason Williams play,
I mean like the passes that he made. The stuff

(21:56):
that he did on the court was phenomenal, and his
nickname was White Chocolate. But if you go to it,
he's been to several card shows in the state and
like so autograph, he'll go and sign autographs, but it
specifically says he will not sign anything White Chocolate.

Speaker 5 (22:16):
Oh, he doesn't like the nickname.

Speaker 6 (22:18):
It's not that he doesn't like it. I just don't
think he I just don't think he wants to sign
it for I think it's out of fear of what
could come later. Oh you know, yeah, you know, I
mean it's just like some people take things well. I mean,
you know, you know you have what comedians and actors
that have dressed in black face and then it's come
back upon him.

Speaker 5 (22:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (22:37):
So yeah, like Darryl Dawkins was chocolate was Chocolate Thunder
and you know, then then Jason Williams, Like I said,
if you've never seen highlights of Jason Williams, just go
to YouTube. Like he makes a pass, it's behind the
back and then he hits the ball with his elbow
like he just he pushes his elbow back and he

(22:57):
passes it to the dude. It's like, how do you
even how do you even practice that? But he ended
up he played it. He played at Florida, played at Marshall,
and then he had a about a ten or twelve
year career in the NBA. And I've seen him on
a couple of these like podcasts that they do the
videos with them and they're just clips. They're they're normally

(23:20):
like on your Facebook reels or something, and like all
the guys that played in his air or like, dude
was tough. The dude was tough. And now, like you'll
see some reels where he's playing like pick up basketball
or he's playing like in an adult basketball league, and
it looks like they're playing at the Orlando Magic practice facility.

(23:43):
So I'm sure there's probably some former college and former
NBA players, and you know, some guys they're it's not
just your your typical pick up basketball at the local gym, right,
He's got.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
A different group of guys around him.

Speaker 6 (23:59):
Then, Yeah, I mean he's got he's got some players, right,
and he's he's got different contents and I mean he's
in his fifties and he's still i mean he's still hooping,
he still got the shot. I mean, that's Reggie Miller said,
the last thing that goes you're shot. So and Reggie,
Reggie should know because he was a shooter. Oh yeah, yeah,
not the best player in his family, but he was
a shooter.

Speaker 5 (24:19):
We never talked about basketball. It's been basketball heavy after
everything yesterday.

Speaker 6 (24:23):
Wow, wow what we were just talking because white chocolate
came up. That's the only reason. How about here we
go left turn.

Speaker 5 (24:32):
Yeah, somehow we went from from Halloween candy.

Speaker 6 (24:35):
To well that's like I think his name was Craig
that called yesterday from Byesville, and you know, we were
just talking about live music and so he we then
talking about like errors and he's like, oh, you know,
and then I kind of said, you know you like them.
You're influenced by your music at a certain age, so
like like somewhere between like thirteen and sixteen, and so

(24:55):
if you're a little bit older, like he's about ten
years older than me approximately, So you know, he liked
the stuff from the late sixties early seventies, so like
the Who and Zeppelin and all that. Whereas because there
was a list that came out and it was the
top twenty from this week in nineteen eighty eight, and
I think one of the one of the things was

(25:18):
don't be cruel by Bobby Brown and don't be cruel

Speaker 5 (27:14):
No, it's not shut up, no way, Yes.

Speaker 6 (27:17):
It is, like there's a calendar right there next to you.
Why do you have to look on your phone?

Speaker 5 (27:24):
Anyway, it probably would have been.

Speaker 6 (27:26):
Hey, Mike from what Wintersville gave us a call. Okay,
so he didn't give us his best candy or his
favorite candy. He said as a kid in going trigger treating.
The worst thing that you could receive as a kid
was the popcorn balls. And I'm gonna have to I'm

(27:48):
gonna have to say he's pretty darn close.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
He's pretty close.

Speaker 6 (27:52):
It's not candy, but those popcorn balls sucked. And if
you ever in like he said, like he said, for
a while there, that's all people gave out were popcorn balls.
Those did suck, but we they were drier than a popcorn.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
Oh god, yes, but we always got the little small
boxes of raisins.

Speaker 6 (28:12):
Oh there's that, and that almost was anybody gives. I
got a rock, That's what Charlie Brown says, I got
a rock.

Speaker 5 (28:22):
Where are you going?

Speaker 6 (28:23):
Come on?

Speaker 3 (28:24):
Man?

Speaker 6 (28:24):
Like you don't get the great pumpkin? Charlie Brown. Oh,
here we go again. I thought you were going to
do a coffee at time.

Speaker 5 (28:30):
I'm trying. I'm I'm fighting it. I'm fighting it. Let's
see here. Stephen on Facebook says anything receies, So I
guess he's saying recy.

Speaker 6 (28:38):
Cop rec Yeah. I don't disagree.

Speaker 5 (28:41):
I don't either. Michael says Snickers those are always a
fan favorite.

Speaker 6 (28:46):
They're all right, Snickers was never my favorite to me.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
Neither Ellen. I'm sorry, Ellen Darling, I usually agree with
you on this one. I must I must disagree. She said,
candy corn is the best.

Speaker 6 (29:03):
In small doses. It's good like you can't see, okay
candy like you know, like when you would get that
big Bronx bag of candy corn, like if you just
had like the small mini bag, that's one thing. Yeah,
but yeah, you can't do I mean because then like
you go into diabetic shock.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
Oh okay, you put out two balls of candy. One
is candy corn, one is miniatures of like harshy kisses
or three muskets. Here, there's always going to be candy corn.
Candy corn, and twinkies will be here after the human race.

Speaker 6 (29:38):
They will survive them in the in the the uh
you know when I was when I was a kid,
but that you know, because it was cheap to give
out because they weren't expensive. Where the pixie sticks came
in like this struck and then you'd be sitting there
going through your candy and you just pour that pure
sugar down your throat. Oh yeah, and you'd be going
then next thing you know, you'd be wired for like
fourteen days. It was like it was like okaye, for kids.

Speaker 5 (30:02):
Were you the dad that always gotten into your kids candy?

Speaker 4 (30:05):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (30:05):
Hell yeah, put it in a bowl, you know, you
we separated, put it into separate bowls, and then you
just go like you pick one out of one kids
and one out of the others. Ye, and then oh,
well he's too young, he doesn't need that much candy
or that much sugar. Oh yeah, oh you know it
was another one that sucked. Dots Dots. They were kind
of like juju Be's. Oh they were a little harder. Yeah,

(30:31):
they were kind of like they were like hard gummy bears.
But they were just they still sell them, and it's
good in Plenty day good and plenty sucked too.

Speaker 5 (30:42):
Are those the black licorice things?

Speaker 6 (30:43):
Well, they're they're they're like pink and white. Yes, and
then they look like they look like pills.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
They looked like, yeah, time and all pills. I think
they have black licorice in.

Speaker 6 (30:53):
Then maybe they were so bad. I mean like every
any time you got them that you hate, you give
it to your mom or your dad because you didn't
want him. But yeah, you gave him all the candy.
You gave your parents the candy you didn't like.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
Oh well no, not us. See, we got my brother
and I. We wised up once we got to a
certain age because my dad would come in and he
would take our pillow cases and empty them all out,
and he would pick through what he wanted. Well, we
got smarter and we would go through and hide stuff
before we went all the way back home, so that

(31:25):
he didn't get to get everything that he wanted. We
cut him off at the pass before he got the
chance to. So what are you laughing at?

Speaker 6 (31:34):
Oh okay one of the puns.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
Oh okay, okay, I got you.

Speaker 6 (31:39):
Yeah, I just do you remember everything you dressed up
as is a kid?

Speaker 5 (31:45):
Yes? Because none of them were ever any good?

Speaker 4 (31:49):
Were you? Were you?

Speaker 6 (31:49):
Basically? Were you a store bought costume or a homemade costume?

Speaker 5 (31:53):
Mine was a you've got six hours before trick or
treat starts, mom throws something together costume.

Speaker 6 (32:00):
I remember the one year somewhere between first and third grade,
maybe my mom took a pair of my pajamas that
I had, and she died as she went and put
to the store and bought die dyed my pajama's gray,
And then somehow she made me like a pair of
shorts and I went as Batman. She went to the

(32:21):
like the Ben Franklin or whatever and got like a
silky made the cow, made the cake, made the shorts.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (32:30):
I remember one year. One year I went is Phonsie
Nice I had to go actually bought me a pleither
coat or vinyl, I don't know. It wasn't leather for I.

Speaker 5 (32:40):
Remember one year I begged. I was a kid of
the eighties, I begged for the she were costume. She
ra It was the female version of he Man. But
if you're a kid of the eighties, you remember those
costumes that came in the box with the plastic masks.

Speaker 6 (32:54):
Yeah, no, they were on a hangar sometimes.

Speaker 5 (32:56):
The ones that we got were always in a box.
But those masks, if you stuck your tongue out of
the mouth hole the wrong way, it was like the
French guillotine to your tongue. Honest to god, they were vicious, man,
they were vicious. It was more like a torture.

Speaker 6 (33:13):
Do I remember more of the homemade constant like I
can remember three costumes after that, I don't remember any
of them. I remember Phonsie Batman. In my last year
I went trigger treating. We all went his chicks chicks. Yeah,
because it was easy.

Speaker 5 (33:28):
Yeah, I remember one year I was an old lady.
That's always a go to seven fifty eight. You're listening
to the bloo Daddy Experience, samon Otis News Radio eleven
seventy WWVA.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
See number one Tuck Show in the Ohio Alley. This
is the bloom Daddy experience. Your host, bloom Daddy. His
goal inform, entertain and tick people off. The bloom Daddy
experience on news Radio eleven seventy.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
Wv starts now.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
News Radio eleven seventy gets the Blue Daddy Experience. Hey,
it's eighth six. Let's get this hour. Rolling money is
the root of all evil. Good to Scott Davidson, WTAM
eleven hundred, sports gambling expert, Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Phillips,
Miami heat guard Terry Rosier. More than thirty other people
charge a connection with these schemes. Two schemes here, Scott,

(34:23):
involving illegal sports betting and rig poker games backed by
the mafia. So in the first case, six defendants accused
of participating in an insider sports betting conspiracy. That first case,
it was all about the prop bet in guys taking
them out of games. Rosier being accused of taking himself
out of a game with a foot injury nine minutes in.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
That's right, he was playing for Charlotte then. This was
back in twenty twenty three. And by the way, this
isn't the first time this has happened. This is connected
to the John day Porter situation where he got banned
from the league for doing the same thing. So what
happens is and this one's called op nothing but bet.
I love the names of these things instead of nothing
but net. That's what they've named this one. And what

(35:06):
they do is is they're providing information with the help
of obviously these sinister crime families, two betters who are
placing large wagers on these guys, on prop bets. And
if you're not familiar with the prop bet I don't
want to get in the weeds too deep. But what
those are are they are specific bets on players performances,
not on the outcome of a game. For example, And

(35:29):
I'll make a simple one, will Terry Rozier score more
or less than ten points in a game? Now, what
happens here is is they tell these betters that Rozier
is going to score less. There's no way to manipulate
these results by saying they're going to score more, because
you never know if he's going to make the shots,
miss the shots, that's impossible. The way they manipulate will

(35:52):
they score less than the ten points is very simple.
They tell the players to bet these large amounts on
the under. He goes into the game and this is
exactly what happened to him and a John tay Portie
porter and mysteriously, mysteriously has an injury after he's in
there for five or six minutes, where he tells the
coach he has he strained his foot, he hurt his ankle,
he did something to his knee. He goes out of

(36:13):
the game, he hasn't scored anything. Two four points, and
the bet cashes. And the thing is, these guys get
caught because of the bells and whistles that we've talked
about before that go off when these weird large bets
are made on strange props.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Well, in regard to Rochier, who went to Shaker Heights
High School born in Youngstown, he told other players that
he was gonna do this, I mean, how stupid can
you be?

Speaker 3 (36:38):
Because everybody talks number.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
One, and apparently you know a lot of people got
their information by threatening Porter because of his pre existing
gambling debts.

Speaker 4 (36:49):
Well, you can't be much stupid or not only to
tell people, but to do it in general. Because all
of these prop bets and all of the bets made
in these legal sports books and people. I really find
it hard to understand when people say, look what sports
betting has done legally. If this was done illegally, like
it would have been done twenty years ago, it would

(37:09):
have been impossible to trace and catch. It would have
taken much more legwork. The algorithms that are set up
to find these bets and to make the bells and
whistles go off make it even dumber bloombaddy for these
guys to do it, because every one of them is
going to get caught. And the solution is to lower
the amount that these books will take on prop bets,

(37:29):
which they do to winning players. So I don't understand
how these guys are getting this much down. That's the
part that miffs me.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Some are calling for prop bets to just be vanquished period.
What are your thoughts on that?

Speaker 4 (37:41):
Again, I don't think vanquishing them. Is the right solution
lower the limits on them. If you let people bet
one hundred dollars on prop bets or even two hundred dollars,
there's no way for these massive scams to go on.
These guys are betting thirteen, fifteen, twenty dollars across multiple
sports books on the same prop and they're all coming

(38:05):
in on the same day and on the same game.
It is so easy to detect that. I am blown
away by the brashness of these guys that think they're
going to get away with it.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
Is it brashness or is it stupidity or both?

Speaker 4 (38:17):
Well, I would call it a combination of the two.
I mean it just it just how can you with
any crime? I watch a lot of Court TV. Does
that make me an expert on crime? No, but it
makes me know that there's a camera everywhere anymore. You
cannot get away with these crimes, especially these ones like this.
I mean, it's really I think stupidity ranks number one

(38:40):
on it. Brashness is second.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
All Right, we covered the first case. The second case,
to me is even.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
More I don't want to use the word incredible, but
it's straight out of Hollywood. You're talking about using former
professional athletes to use technology to steal millions of dollars
in underground poker games.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
That were back by mafia families.

Speaker 6 (39:02):
You know, he goes into that in the second part
of the interview, and it's a little long, so we
kind of we played it in the first hour. We're
just gonna we're gonna eliminate it this hour. The fact
that you have gambling in professional sports, Like you had
to be an idiot if you didn't see this coming,

(39:24):
because with online betting and online gambling and they're advertised,
they are, they're taking out advertising at the arenas, advertising
in the programs, advertising on TV during the games.

Speaker 4 (39:41):
You know.

Speaker 6 (39:42):
I mean Pete Rose got banned from baseball because he
bet on baseball. That's what these guys are doing. They
should get lifetime bands. I listen, I liked Chauncey Billups
as a player, even though I'm not an NBA guy.
I always liked Chauncey Billups when he was in college
and then even into the pros, even though I didn't
really watch it that much. I just I just thought

(40:03):
he was kind of a classy guy. And now I've
lost all respect for it.

Speaker 5 (40:07):
Well, here's the thing though, this is just we're under
twenty four hours. Yeah, so my question is what other
names or who is currently shaking in their boots.

Speaker 6 (40:18):
The tops, what other sports? Yeah, you know, I mean this.
You know we had a story a couple of weeks
ago Marshall University, their athletic director was setting up an
information kind of seminar for the coaches and the players

(40:42):
because now college players and coaches can bet on professional sports.
It's like, no, yes, they can't, they can't fix the
professional But what happens who says they can't. Let's say
I have a teammate, a former teammate that's now in
the pros, and I say, hey, look, you know I'm

(41:04):
not gonna make it. Let's how about helping me get
to the level where you are. Let me get with
these people. We can fix a few games, I can
make a few bucks, and then I can retire comfortably.
You never stop, and then if you get tied in
with the mob or organized crime, you can't get out.

Speaker 5 (41:22):
That's a whole other Yes, channel worms, but like you said,
we have seen the absolute just over like the blast
of online gambling. It's everywhere. The draft Kings of the
world and all of that. It's on the base boards
around hockey rinks.

Speaker 6 (41:40):
DraftKings, ESPN, bet MGM, Fanatics now has one. You know,
there are so many online betting you know, opportunities, but it's.

Speaker 5 (41:53):
In the player's face twenty four to seven. I mean,
that's like putting what I want to say, sugary candy
in front of a diabetic all the time and saying,
don't touch it.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
Don't touch it.

Speaker 6 (42:06):
Just putting the pumpkin pie in front of the kid
at fat camp.

Speaker 5 (42:09):
Yeah there you go, so excuse me. Yeah exactly. But
like I said, I think we've just scratched the surface
on this.

Speaker 6 (42:16):
It's I think it's going to be a lot bigger.
I think it's going to be I think you're going
to see it in other sports. You're going to see
it in football especially.

Speaker 5 (42:27):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (42:28):
And then it's not just limited to players, coaches, officials.
You know how many times have you have we seen
games and said it's fixed, it's fixed, it's fixed because
there's a penalty or something. And then all of a sudden,
you know, the one team that you know, the team
that's getting the points, say they're getting three points and

(42:48):
it's a one point game. Well, all of a sudden,
there's a penalty puts the team in field goal range.
Guy kicks a field goal. Now they're up four. The
spot was three or three and a half. All it's
fixed because of that penalty. Well yeah, I mean he
still has to make the kick, don't get it wrong.

Speaker 5 (43:04):
But then you factor in the refs and and all
of that, whoa sorry and all of that. And here's
the thing. The NBA has been struggling for a while.

Speaker 6 (43:14):
And this isn't going to help him. Yeah, I mean
you look at I mean, back in the day, there
was a big scandal at Boston College in basketball point shaving.
I mean, and this goes back forever. I mean this
Paul Horney get back, the Notre Dame graduate played in
the NFL, got suspended for a season for gambling. I mean,
and that's in the fifties, you know, this is and

(43:37):
then you got the Black Sox scandal in nineteen whatever,
nineteen eighteen, nineteen nineteen. I mean, it's just this whole.
As soon as you started to see it in the
sports and they were advertising at the stadiums and arenas, Yeah,
you knew the poop poo was going to hit the fast.

Speaker 5 (43:55):
I remember talking about it. I remember talking about it,
saying this is going to lead somewhere that we don't
want it to go. And the integrity of sports is
now going to be questioned all the time. And we're
seeing it.

Speaker 6 (44:08):
We're seeing sports.

Speaker 5 (44:10):
We're seeing it right now. It's eight sixteen. Just a reminderer,
get in your registrations free ice cream Kirks seven zero
four seven zero, Text us name and phone number and
that's your registration. And coming up, we're gonna have a
family four pack to Blippy the stage show here at
the Capitol Theater, happening November. I'm sorry, that's too far away.

(44:30):
November eighteen. November eighteen. You're listening to the Blue Daddy Experience.
Samon otis here on news radio eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back.
It's eight twenty two on this Friday, The Blue Daddy Experience.
Samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Got a message

(44:55):
from a friend of show on Facebook asked if we
could pay. Asked this along about somebody who has been
missing for two weeks, so putting this out there. Her
name is Ashley Flatley. If you have seen her, please
get in contact with Wheeling Police. She's thirty four years old,
five foot seven, between one hundred and twenty and one

(45:17):
hundred and forty pounds will She was last seen by
the LaBelle Green Apartments in Wheeling, So just putting it
that's out there for a front of show. If you
have seen Ashley Flatley, thirty four years old, please contact
the Wheeling Police. She has not been seen for two weeks,
so wanted to pass that along. Also, we should probably

(45:41):
be a little bit serious today. Otis do you want
to be or no?

Speaker 6 (45:45):
I think go ahead.

Speaker 5 (45:47):
Just want to hit on some top headlines here. Locally,
police are searching for the driver of a vehicle that's
slammed into the back of a school bus and left
the scene. The hit and run was yesterday in Smithfield,
West Virginia. Nobody was hurt and the bus, but the
bus was filled with children. Anyone with information is asked

(46:08):
to come forward. So a hit and run of a
school bus children on board, So please if you know
anything about this, you are being asked to come forward. Also,
a Wheeling man was arrested Wednesday night in Saint Clairsville
after police say he attempted to meet with what he
believed was a fourteen year old girl was actually an

(46:32):
undercover officer. The gentleman in question is Gary Spence, thirty
three years old. He was taken into custody on Wednesday.
After this investigation was conducted through a decoy Fates book account.
Police say Spence began messaging the account, which he believed
belonged to a fourteen year old girl, and over time

(46:54):
the conversation went that way, which of course is sexual
one nature. Investigators alleged spent set explicit messages and photos
and arranged to meet the girl in person. When he arrived,
it was not the girl, it was police.

Speaker 6 (47:16):
Well, I can't do anything because I don't have that
story since you didn't share that one with me. But
there is something out there. I don't know if you
know this or not. West Virginians can now add their
driver's licenses and their state IDs to the Apple Wallet
on their iPhones. Governor Patrick Morrissey announced the launch yesterday,
making West Virginia the twelfth state to partner with Apple
for this technology. Residents can present their digital IDs at

(47:40):
more than two hundred and fifty TSA checkpoints nationwide, including
airports in Charleston, and Huntington in Pittsburgh. By the way,
officials encourage people to continue carrying physical IDs since not
all institutions except the digital version yet And I didn't
know if you knew this or not. But the lawsuit
that is challenging Governor Morrissey's deployment of Way Virginia National

(48:00):
Guard members the DC is set for hearing this morning.
The ACLU of West Virginia filed the suit in August,
arguing the governor exceeded his authority when he sent three
to four hundred Guard members to the nation's capital the
State Attorney's General. The State Attorney General's office is asking
the court to deny the request for a restraining order.
The deployment could last until late November, though ongoing federal

(48:23):
shutdown concerns have raised questions about Guard members pay. I
don't know if, and of course we have NFL. The
Chargers blew out the Vikings last night, thirty seven to
ten on Thursday Night Football to kick off Week eight.
Later on, the Steelers host Jordan Love and the Packers
on Sunday Night Football. Pittsburgh is coming off a tough

(48:45):
loss to the Bengals, but still leads the AFC North
at four and two, the Browns visit the Patriots, and
the Bengals host the Jets on Sunday afternoon. Cleveland is
two and five, while since He is three and four.
The Penguins extended their win streak after taking down the
Panthers five to three from Sunrise Sydney. Crosby netted a
pair of goals, as Pittsburgh has won four straight games.

(49:06):
The Penns host of Blue Jackets tomorrow night, and you
can catch the Penguins tomorrow night and the Steeler games
on Sunday night on our sister station Eagle one oh
seven five. So there you have that. As Sam is
still really just kind of on her own there. Don't
know if you saw this or not, Sam Adams. It's

(49:29):
the Boston Beer Company. Well, they are releasing an extreme
version of Sam Adams beer. The twenty twenty five version
of Sam Adams Utopias has thirty percent alcohol by volume.
Now keep in mind, like your IPA's and all your
the stronger beers, like the most you're probably going to
see is like maybe is somewhere around nine percent. This

(49:50):
is going to be thirty percent. It's only available in
thirty five States, and that's because fifteen states have lost
banning beer with such high alcohol content. The special beer
is present it in a unique bottle with a suggested
retail price of two hundred and forty bucks for a
bottle of beer. The beer is designed to be served
at room temperature. Two reasons why I would probably not

(50:13):
try it. Room temperature beer just does not get it,
and two hundred and forty dollars a buck of pop
isn't going to do it either. Florida's Magic Kingdom is
the most visited theme park in the world. That's according
to the annual TEA Global Experience Index. Not only did
Magic Kingdom top the list, Disney claimed four of the
five top spots. The report was put together before Universal

(50:37):
Epic Universe theme park opened. As I try to say
that more to Come, don't forget give us your favorite candy.
You can reach out via tex seven zero four seven zero,
You can call us one eight hundred and six two
four eleven seventy, or reach out to Sam at iHeartMedia
dot com your favorite Halloween candy. More to Come on

But you know, hey, I'm a glutton for punishment.

Besides that, nobody really missed you.

Speaker 5 (51:43):
Okay, I'm out, I'm out.

Michael Keaton. Well did you see what happened?

Speaker 7 (52:04):

Speaker 6 (52:06):
Well, holy spell check, no, because Batman, they spelled Keaton wrong.
They spelled Michael wrong. Now, so, like I don't know
if you've seen what what the the slab is. So
it's like a bronze star in a in a slab
a cement, and so it's got the person's name in
the star, and then underneath of it is a like

(52:30):
another bronze plaque rectangular that kind of says what what
the what they've done? You know, so like they're accomplished. Yeah,
like a little minute about kind of like what you
would see if you're familiar with the Baseball Hall of Fame.
So like they have the persons. It's all one piece
bronze and it's got the person, the teams they played

(52:50):
for or managed or whatever, and then it tells you,
like their accomplishments, the peaks, you know, the well, I
guess they realized after they end that they spelled Michael
m I c h e a L instead of m
I c h a e L.

Speaker 5 (53:08):
Whoops.

Speaker 6 (53:09):
Luckily, I'm sure that the place that does the bronze
plax is actually out of Pittsburgh. It's called Matthews Bronze.
I used them. They can fix I mean, they've made
plas for me, and they're the ones I think they
do the they do the Baseball Hall of Fame and
everything else as well. So yeah, but it's not a
like you can't just fix it overnight. You have to.
It's a it's a process.

Speaker 5 (53:31):
Well aren't they in the cement?

Speaker 6 (53:32):
Yeah, so you're gonna have to do that, you're probably
gonna have to bust that whole and they're not gonna chisel. Well,
they're probably gonna jackhammer it. But and take out the
take out the star. That's right. And then so I mean,
then you have to set up for that. So I
mean it's probably gonna be a couple of weeks before
that thing gets replaced. It may not, it may not
even be because with the cold weather and everything else,

(53:54):
you may not want to lay that into the ground.
Is it's cold, you know, with the you know, so
so it doesn't expand, and you want it to be
like a good average temperature.

Speaker 5 (54:07):
Human error. It happens, listen, But it's Michael, if they would.

Speaker 6 (54:13):
Have messed as a person that has as a person
that has been in that business that has made plaques
and everything else, I can honestly say that there's times
that you proofread stuff and you can proof read it
a hundred times and you cannot catch it because you're
sitting there and you're going, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 5 (54:30):
Your eyes play tricks on your brain.

Speaker 6 (54:33):
Yeah, And it's I remember one time when I the
word was university and I put an extra T in
it so it was universe titty. And that wasn't on
just one. It was on like seven plaques. So and

(54:54):
it was just one of those ones that I read it,
read it, read it, never saw it.

Speaker 5 (54:58):
I never saw it, and it just doesn't register.

Speaker 6 (55:01):
Nope.

Speaker 5 (55:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (55:02):
And then and then after you see it, you're like, ah, shoot,
only you didn't say shoot, or ah, fudge only I
didn't say fudge, as Ralphie would say in a Christmas
story University.

Speaker 5 (55:15):
That's pretty good, though. I don't know if I was
the student receiving that, I might want to just keep
the original just out of just for giggles, poops and giggles.

Speaker 3 (55:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (55:26):
Yeah, And by the way, we got an email from Adrian.
I just want to give a shout out. Anytime you
want to email us, all you have to do is
sam at iHeartMedia dot com. Otis and I both get
those emails. By the way, it's not just to me,
so it's a shared account.

Speaker 6 (55:40):
That week care for what you say people, Adrian.

Speaker 5 (55:45):
Says, I'm out here laughing with myself over the costume comments,
bringing back so many memories, especially the one of sticking
your tongue out of the mouth.

Speaker 4 (55:54):
Hole.

Speaker 5 (55:55):
Love to listen to you guys. By the way, I'll
be fifty four on Halloween, so I can remain relate
to the plastic costumes. I work on a cold strip,
usually by myself, and you guys keep me company. Great show, well, Adrian,
thank you so much. And I'm I'm assuming Adrian, you
are agreeing with my commentary on the tongue out of

(56:15):
the mouth hole on those plastic nineteen eighties masks, because
they were like a guillotine for your tongue.

Speaker 6 (56:25):
They really truth if your tongue could fit in them.
Some of them are so small, so tiny.

Speaker 3 (56:30):
You know.

Speaker 5 (56:31):
I can still smell that plastic. I can think about it.

Speaker 6 (56:34):
I can see them hanging on the rack at like
Hills Hills Hearts, Big Wheel, you know, all the all
the discount stores at the time.

Speaker 5 (56:47):
Yep, yep. And it's funny because yesterday.

Speaker 6 (56:50):
And I'm sure I had some of those the plastic costumes. Yeah,
but I just don't remember it, like like I can't
remember them, like I think maybe one time I had
a spider Man, I.

Speaker 5 (57:01):
Was Smurf Fat once.

Speaker 6 (57:02):
I remember I might have been Thor one time too,
because when I was a kid before Thor made it big,
when I would and again going back to the we
talked about this a couple of weeks ago, but the
school fundraisers and the magazine sales, the comic books that
I bought were Thor and The Fantastic Four. Don't ask

(57:24):
me why, Like I didn't buy.

Speaker 5 (57:26):
Batman or SuperM everything out there that.

Speaker 6 (57:28):
Marble, iron Man. Like Thor and The Fantastic Four. I
thought we're the two greatest comic books. Yeah, and then
you know they it is what it is. But I
like and I think I sold those way bargain cheap
to some kid too there. Probably he's probably made a
million bucks off probably.

Speaker 5 (57:49):
Well, the thing that's so funny yesterday being off right.

Speaker 6 (57:52):
Well you're off every day.

Speaker 5 (57:53):
Yeah, well off your rocker. Yeah, there's only like I
got to the point where yesterday I was stir crazy. Listen,
this job is very social and I was losing it.
So I went down the rabbit hole on reels and
it was if you were a kid of the eighties,
do you remember this cartoon? Do you remember this uh

(58:15):
excuse me, toy commercial? All of that kind of stuff.
Oh my god. It was it was like, oh, I
remember this theme song, I remember this cartoon, I remember
this candy or you know snacks from the eighties that
will never come back again, like clear PEPSI. Remember that
that was a huge, big deal.

Speaker 6 (58:33):
Crystal pepsi.

Speaker 5 (58:34):
That's it, Crystal pepsi.

Speaker 6 (58:35):
This listen, somebody on another radio show, national show, huh,
was talking about crystal pepsi when like about a week ago, really,
and they said it was like they said they had
to remove it because it was it was like crack.
That's why. That's why they had to stop some of it,
because it was the sugar content and everything was so

(58:55):
high that it just amped everybody up.

Speaker 5 (58:57):
I don't remember that.

Speaker 6 (58:59):
I don't even remember remember crystal pepsi. To be honest
with you, you.

Speaker 5 (59:02):
Don't remember it. All thought it was a big deal.

Speaker 6 (59:05):
It was I remember, I remember Pepsi free.

Speaker 5 (59:09):
Pepsi free. Yeah, I kind of remember that. But it
was so funny because I would go on it would
be one thing like snacks from the eighties that you'll
never see again, and then the next thing that will
pop up would be cartoons. Do you remember these cartoons?
This was on ABC on Saturday mornings, and then it
was do you remember these theme songs? And it was
I bet I sat and looked at these videos for

(59:29):
two hours yesterday, two hours and I'd go, oh, I
remember that, Oh, I remember that. Where do they find
this stuff? These people that make all these compilation videos.
It's like who has the time and where do you
find somebody.

Speaker 6 (59:43):
That's sitting at home when they're sick. To entertain them,
all you had to do was look in the mirror
and find the answer. Yeah, I mean, because if you
were looking at him, somebody had to set them up.
And they probably the same way man or they're doing
it because they get for every hit they get, they
probably get mon Oh.

Speaker 5 (01:00:00):
I'm sure. The best though, was the theme.

Speaker 6 (01:00:02):
Songs, not commercial songs too.

Speaker 5 (01:00:05):
No to TV shows like Facts of Life, Empty Nests,
Golden Girls, all that.

Speaker 6 (01:00:10):
There might be a CD in the DRAWID that has
theme songs from the seventies and eighties or show.

Speaker 5 (01:00:14):
I'm sure we probably do.

Speaker 6 (01:00:16):
It's either minor Stinks Stink had one and I had one.

Speaker 5 (01:00:20):
Well, I was singing them all to myself, and it's
amazing how in a split second it all comes back
to you. It all comes back to you. You know
every single word. I knew the Golden Girls, I knew
the Facts of Life, I knew growing pains. I'm like,
how do I remember this stuff? I can't remember my
husband's birthday, but I can remember the theme song to

(01:00:41):
Facts of Life? Who knew? It's amazing? What entertained you
when you're good? Yeah? Well thank you. Now it's gonna
be sucking my head again. I finally got rid of it.

So isn't that right? Isn't that what you said?

Speaker 8 (01:01:46):
Absolutely? You know I'm a little you know, a little
dry today.

Speaker 5 (01:01:49):
I get it.

Speaker 8 (01:01:51):
Okay, yeah, that's what I blame it all.

Speaker 6 (01:01:54):
Hey, did you survive yesterday?

Speaker 8 (01:01:58):
Did I survive yesterday?

Speaker 6 (01:01:59):
Yes? And it was you know, slapping irritating coworker today.

Speaker 5 (01:02:05):
I missed that. Yeah, of course the one day I
missed man, Yeah, because you'd got slapped like a wall.

Speaker 8 (01:02:18):
But I did survive, and you know, I didn't feel
the need to slap anybody either.

Speaker 6 (01:02:23):
Okay, okay, that's good.

Speaker 8 (01:02:25):

We got one at the end when you're done, We've
got one for you at the end here, So go ahead.

Speaker 7 (01:02:31):
What's going on, Hey, let's talk about the fun day
to get many is you know, Hyundai is probably one
of my favorite vehicles, especially when it comes to cutting
edge technology.

Speaker 8 (01:02:48):
Okay, they seem to be head and shoulders above everyone else, because,
as you well know, sometimes it's frustrating, you know, when
you're Bluetooth's not working correctly in your phone, update said it,
and then your car doesn't update you know you drop
a call, or you know the radio clips working or

(01:03:08):
you know, ways doesn't work like it's supposed to your navigation.
But Hundai seems to be just I mean when I
say on the cutting edge, they literally have some incredible
technology in these vehicles, especially for the money. Right, you're
talking about vehicles like twenty five I Lanta right now

(01:03:29):
out of ninety nine bucks, right, se loads of features,
full power, advanced safety, you know one ninety nine that's
that's just incredible.

Speaker 6 (01:03:39):
I heard of it is.

Speaker 8 (01:03:41):
Yeah, twenty five Mills Tucson se again loaded up all
the safety features, two hundred and seventy nine bucks. Right,
Have you seen the new Santa Fe? The twenty five
is not new anymore, the twenty five Santa Fe.

Speaker 6 (01:03:54):
I have seen the Santa Fees out on the road.
I'm not sure if they're twenty fives or not. I'm
not that I'm not that.

Speaker 8 (01:04:00):
Goodn't there are so many vehicles out there where they
kind of all run together. You know, you could take
some of the Sam coffee and again patter.

Speaker 6 (01:04:09):
On the back. Yep, you can hear, but everybody else
can god.

Speaker 8 (01:04:14):
So, But anyway, all the mid sized SUVs and full
size issues can sometimes kind of run together. They all
kind of look alike, right, Santa Fe, that is an
outstanding vehicle that stands alone, all right. I mean you
can definitely when you see one of those on the road,
you know exactly what it is. There's zero percent interest
available on those. Right now, you get behind the wheel

(01:04:36):
of one of them is little as three hundred and
twenty nine bucks a month. Wow, that's just And you
get a five year sixty thousand miles bumper to bumper warranty, Okay,
not five years sixty thousand miles power train, five years
sixty thousand miles bumper to bumper to warranty. Get a
ten year one hundred power train. And then the Strawb
Automotive Group has ever drive which stands behind it for
as long as you own it for the engine transmission.

Speaker 4 (01:04:58):
Into full drive track.

Speaker 6 (01:04:59):
I can always buy, no reason not to be buying.
I can always bought a Santa Fe because they have
the dog bone tail lights. You know, they look like
dog bones.

Speaker 8 (01:05:09):
Okay, I got that too.

Speaker 6 (01:05:12):
I mean that's how that's how I identify it. I mean,
I don't know how everybody's got their own way, so
all right, big weekend, had a big weekend plan. That's
not do you have a big weekend plan? Any concerts
you're in?

Speaker 8 (01:05:27):
Yeah, we have a big weekend plan. Man, this the
last few days of the month.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
Car Oh.

Speaker 6 (01:05:30):
I meant like personally, like, do you are going to
any concerts or shows or anything?

Speaker 4 (01:05:35):
No?

Speaker 8 (01:05:35):
No, we can't.

Speaker 6 (01:05:37):
Hey did you know that?

Speaker 3 (01:05:38):
Did you know?

Speaker 6 (01:05:38):
Today was National National Balogney Day?

Speaker 8 (01:05:42):
I did not.

Speaker 6 (01:05:44):
Did you know Jeffrey Jeffrey Dahmer's baloney actually did have
a first name.

Speaker 8 (01:05:49):
Oh and with that boys and Girls, I'm painting up.

Speaker 6 (01:05:58):
I think he liked it though, because he had that
like guilty laugh. That was the best part about that.
He had the definitely the guilty laugh. Hey are you back?
Oh no, but she's still coughing. There is a Florida
line cook. I don't know if you've ever been to

(01:06:19):
a restaurant, you know, you go to these places and
they have their wing sauces and they have all their
special sauces and everything. This guy's name is Carlos Francisco
gott Berg marquees Well. He faces theft of trade secret
charges after confessing to stealing three recipe books from Mordisco
Miami restaurant in Dral, Florida. The Venezuelan and Cariby Infusion

(01:06:41):
restaurant discovered missing cookbooks on October twentieth, then contacted the cops.
So Raill's footage allegedly shows Marquez taking two books. Police
arrested him at his second job at Shoma Bazarre Food Haul,
where he told authorities in Spanish, it's in my bike
and produced one cookbook from his moped storage compartment. Marquez
admitted stealing the books and told police he intended to

(01:07:03):
learn the recipes for use at another restaurant. The remaining
two copbooks were recovered from his home. I judge grant
and Marquees' pre trial release with twenty five hundred dollars
bond ordering to avoid mordsco Miami and Florida. Theft of
trade secrets carries maximum penalties of fifteen years in prison
and a ten thousand dollars fine.

Speaker 5 (01:07:24):
You don't mess with the secret sauce, with the secret recipes.

Speaker 6 (01:07:27):
Imagine if you were working at KFC with that secret
sauce or the secret recipe, whatever it's called.

Speaker 5 (01:07:32):
Did he like your Jeffrey Dahmer joke?

Speaker 6 (01:07:35):
Guilty? He was very like it was like a guilty
like he wanted it was a guilty pleasure. Well he laughed,
but he's like, okay, on that, I'm leaving.

Speaker 5 (01:07:43):
So taste level was questionable as well.

Speaker 6 (01:07:47):
Well, nobody said it was good taste.

Speaker 5 (01:07:48):
I say taste probably isn't the best word to use either.
In regards to Jeffrey Dahmer.

Speaker 6 (01:07:53):
Well, the secret sauce. Yes, it's all about the Secret sauce,
all right, one through fourteen.

Speaker 5 (01:08:00):
