Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
And excited to talk to our next guest here, Richard
Skinner of course Local twelve and Skinny. We got to
ask you first about this NBA the gambling situation. It's
kind of a two parter. It's there's Chauncey Billups and
his involvement with some high stakes poker games or there's
some cheating and some X ray glasses and stuff, and

(00:21):
then there is a second part of it with that
has to deal with Terry Razira player possibly using some
inside information, possibly you know, playing not playing to affect align.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Well, what's your overall thoughts on this.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
It's probably the tip of the iceberg. And I'm gonna
guess there are some players and maybe coaches and whoever
else that are probably very nervous.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
At the moment.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Yeah, they are two separate situations because the Chauncey builds
one was involving high stakes card games. That I mean,
it is just it's right out of like James Bond
and and Mission Impossible in every kind of weird movie
you can think of. Yeah, he was involved in I
say's card games with the mafia. Terroo Zier was just
was gambling on it on himself for lack of better

(01:07):
giving information to others, So what he would do would
be and those who maybe aren't don't know. Most every
wet betting site out there, you can do the following
things on players. They have player props, like they'll set
a number for I'm just gonna throw. I'll throw Steph
Curry out there for Steph Curry tonight to score twenty
five points or more and to have eight assists or more,

(01:28):
to make three three pointers or more. And if a
guy knows he's not gonna play, or he figures he
can make a quick cash pay day out of this
and get some buddies and get his his posse, you know,
some some coin along with it, he may say, oh,
five minutes in the game, I've got an alley and
he has told all those players all my props spent
them under the probat these guys is this. They're doing
it in legal websites and in legal ways that raise

(01:48):
red flags, like you normally wouldn't have all these bets
on this player for under props, and so they're they're
actually stupid to do it because it's easy to flag it.
You remember, we had the betting scandal that involved a
couple of members of UC's baseball program titles Alabama where
they walked into the then bet MGM sportsbook downtown and

(02:09):
put a bunch of money on an Alaba, a random
Alabama Friday night baseball game, betting against them, and the
flag was wait a minute, nobody bets on college baseball,
Nobody bets on Alabama and Cincinnati. Nobody bets this amount
of money on Alabama in Cincinnati, and so it raised
the red flag. So I think those are good things,
but I do think this is the tip of the
iceberg because I just imagine there are some others out
there that are going to get dragged into this as well.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
Yeah, and guys, we've been talking about this all along
with now forget about it. It's national sports betting is
now allowed. It's pervasive in our society. And did we
not think this wasn't going to happen? The money, the
temptation is too.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
World, guys, the tempo, it's so easy, I know, but
it's easy to get caught, Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Well, the thing is, and I think it's a lot
of these players come from nothing, right, they get the
big money, and you know, Antoine Walker, an NBA player
con former, Kentucky player gambled his whole career earnings away.
I mean, it was a shame. He made eighty million
his career and he gambled it all away. But then
you have you have your boys, right, I mean we

(03:19):
all have our guys we grew up with and maybe
still hang around with. I mean, I know friendships change
over lifetimes, but there's still your crew, and your crew
has nothing and you have everything, and you have a
way to get your crew a little a little bag
of cash.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yep, you're gonna tell your crew.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Hey, you three four guys. Man, I'm gonna sit this
one out. I'm only gonna play five minutes. And it
might be true. Maybe he did have an alley. Nobody
knew it but you, and you're like, I'm just I'm
hurt enough to where I can pull this off. Guys,
just everybody go back the under. But again, when everybody
goes and touch it and it raises the red flag,
it's just stupid because it's going to raise the red.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Flag, all right, and it is. It's it's the greediness
of it. It's you know, if if you only told
one buddy, or if that buddy didn't bet you know,
twenty thousand dollars or some big number on some odd
obscure prop bet. It probably wouldn't show up if you
had a little discipline. But I mean that's usually what

(04:12):
gets people. You know, you probably do it a couple
of times. You're like, well, you don't look at it
like I'm I'm winning five hundred bucks. You look at
like I'm losing ten thousand, because if I just bet
a little more, it's a sure thing, like what am
I doing here?

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Right? Yep, that's right. I mean, we saw a player
get banned from the NBA for life in the offseason
because of these type of things, and I don't think
they'll stop, or maybe they will. Maybe players will finally
realize that they're thinking of doing this, like no, man,
this is too easy for me to get caught by
doing it, you know, betting it legally. And I think

(04:48):
that's a good part of the legal betting is you
can you know, raise the red flags on these where
we've had we've had point shaving scandals going back to
the nineteen fifties in sports, primarily in college basketball. You know,
we had fifties and sixties, we had the Boston College
point shaving scandal in the early nineteen eighties. We had
Steven had eight Smith at Arizona State in the nineteen nineties.
They were doing it illegally, but it raised enough of

(05:10):
red flags where they were betting where somebody was being
laid off, Like you're you're gonna get caught, I mean,
you just are. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Well, and I did see this somewhere somebody said, like,
what was the first year of baseball, like eighteen seventy.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Seven or something like that.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, but the first year of people, you know, a
gambling scandal in baseball was like eighteen seventy eight, like
like the next year. So it's been going on for
kind of forever. So yeah, but you're right with it
being legalized. I think that that helps a little bit
more of the checks and balances. But I also just
think with how how easily done it is. And also

(05:49):
I think also players like like when I played, it
was like you don't even you don't even go there
at all, like you, I mean, they would they would
talk all the time.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Once a year, there'd be a big meeting.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
We're like told away from gambling, don't even think about it,
don't look at it. Well, now these leagues, and these
teams are in bed with these betting agencies. So I
think the player goes, you know, it seems like it's
kind of, you know, kind of kosher.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Now, and what's what's it heard?

Speaker 1 (06:14):
If I I'm already gonna be out the game anyway,
it's I'm not lying. So if I tell a couple buddies,
they make a couple of bucks, everybody wins. But that's
that's how bad things start.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
Yes, indeed, we're talking to Richard Skinner and Skinny switching
gears here.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Let's talk about that poker thing. Now.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
When you get the mafia involved, guys, stuff gets real.
As we say on the street, and I've heard some
guys talking today, and it makes sense. Do you do
we think that maybe Chauncey Billups did one thing a
little favor for the mafia and then they go, we
got you, so here's what we need you to do

(06:55):
for us.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Right, yeah, no that and now he is staunchly, through
an attorney, denied all of this, and so you know,
at the moment you take him at his worries and
this is untill prove Hi guilty. But you can see
how something like that happens like you are betting illegally.
Maybe he wasn't. But if somehow they find a way
to get their hooks into you, like the Boston College scandal.

(07:16):
I don't know if you guys have seen it. ESPN
years ago did a thirty for thirty on it. I
just was on he other morning, on a Sunday morning,
I watched it again. It just still fascinates me. You know,
they they scared these kids into Hey, man, we paid you.
Now you're into us, and now you can't turn back this.
We already made you dirty, and you got to keep
doing this, and you just keep digging a hole and
digging a hole and digging a hole till final the

(07:37):
FBI busted busted that up and got some mob associates
along with it. So that's the thing, man, if their
hooks are into you, you're probably you're in a tough spot.
I'll tell you it's an easy spot to be in.
But you know, if that's the case, it seems like
they they had their hooks into some people. For whatever reasons,
they were able to have these guys recruit high end,

(07:57):
high end players who would then come and lose the money.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Richard Skinners our guests, and Skinny, real quick, I did
want to talk some Bengals. So the Jets are starting
likely Tyrod Taylor, Sauce Garters out, Garrett Wilson's outs already
own seventeen. No way the Bengal's gonna lose this, right, Skinny.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
Well, I'm never gonna say that again because I know
I literally said that on your show and on most
show last year before the Patriots game, like there's no
way there is a way if they don't tackle better.
I mean, if you have another poor tackling game and
somehow that lets the Jets rudloff the hook a few times,
or if Justin Field gets in the game and you
know he takes a read option eighty yards for a

(08:37):
touchdown only because you didn't tackle. That part would scare
you a little bit, you know. Quinn Williams upfronts of dude.
I mean, he is literally a dude, and so you
have to account for him. But I mean, this Jets offense,
I got a chance obviously this past Sunday because the
Bengals played on Thursday night. To do with the rest
of America, do is I put my feet up and
watch red Zone and every time they would go to
that Jets Panthers game. I'm watching Tyrod Taylor and make

(08:58):
one horrific pass after another, and they just look awful.
And then you take the best receiver on that team
by a mile, in Garrett Wilson out of the mix,
and you take a Pro Bowl caliber cornerback out of
the mix. You know that that's one of the read
They're a winless team for a reason. I will tell
you this, so you know they lose the Broncos thirteen
to eleven. They had minus ten yards passing in that game.
By the way, they lost earliest year to the Jets

(09:20):
by two. They only lost that Panthers game. They made
multiple chances to drive down and tie it. So they're
not far away. And I think those are the scary teams.
But I just think with the Bengals from a confidence
standpois at least offensively, it's got to be at a
very high level right now. This would be a game.
Get that lead early, get up fourteen to nothing, fourteen
to three, because I think a team that's winless at

(09:43):
that points goes, yeah, well was us. Let's finish this
thing off and get the hell on the plane and
go back home, so don't let them hang around. And
that's kind of what the try what the Patriots did
last year that over they just kind of hung around
and hung around, and you felt like the Bengals were
gonna stap out of it, and they never did. I
just think this team really looked at this three game stretch,
even though they talk about take a game to game
as as the stretch to kind of write the ship

(10:04):
a little bit here before the bye week, and and
I don't think they're gonna let that opportunity to pass by.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Well, Skinny, I totally agree with your point where about tackling.
That that's probably been the lack of tackling or the
poor tackling has been probably the most consistent thing in
every Bengals game this year.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
So that's gotta be good.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
But also, I mean, god, do you'd like the for
the Bengals to to have consecutive weeks running the ball better?

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Right?

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Finally that run game got going against Pittsburgh. You'd like
to see him do that again here this week.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah. So I wrote a story on that yesterday of
you know how that the reasons why they kind of
unlock things and can't it continue? But it was funny
when I'd ask I have Zach in a press conference.
I asked Dan Pitcher, the opensive coordinator. He had a
session with the writers once a week, and you know,
they really didn't pinpoint it at any one specific thing.
It was. It was, you know, one play, we did this,

(10:52):
another play some of us. The pass game helped open
things up. Getting under center a little bit more, I
think helped the run game. Wasn't all the runs from
under center somewhere from the gun, but seem like they
got a little momentum from going under center and and
popping one. You know, is it the combination of Dalton
Riiser at left guard and Jalen Rivers at right guard
and you know, for a second straight week, is that
settled things down? Although I don't think I be honestly,

(11:14):
I think Dyllan Fairchild's gonna start on Sunday in place
at Dalton Risers, so they're switching left guard again. You know,
I kind of would rather go with the hot hand,
but yeah, I mean that's the thing. Is it just
a one off? Was Pittsburgh's defense that bad? Or did
you indeed finally unlock something in the run game. I
think we're gonna find out because that's again, that's a
good that's a good Jets defensive front.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
All right, well, Skinny, we will see what happens. And
Rock and I talked to we do every Thursday, to
Jason Hoffman, and he is the sports editor for The Inquirer,
as we all know, and I was telling him. I
was like, Okay, flacoh, Madia, we get it. But now
we know, uh where Flacco eats. Uh, we know basically
what kind of toilet paper he uses, where uh he

(11:56):
novels right his favorite author.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
We know everything we could possibly know about Joe Flaco.
So uh, let's hope that that continues and we get
to learn more and more about our QB.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
With that, SKA will hit.

Speaker 6 (12:12):
You, Thanks buddy, Thanks our good friend Richard Skinner Local twelve.

Speaker 5 (12:22):
And I love giving Hoffmann crab about that because again
every day it's does he like Skyline?

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Does he?

Speaker 1 (12:29):
But that that one in particular, that that is such
a Cincinnati thing. Is you know, like did you? Okay,
we kind of like you. But here here's this, this
is the be all and on do you like Skyliner?
Gold Star? Have you ever eaten Greaters ice cream? And
if you say no or I don't like him, then.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Yes, our good friend, John matteris don't waste your money.
And John, I think we talked last week about you know,
the Christmas decorations are already up at the local home
depot and at the lows.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
But some of these, according to you, are are getting
kind of pricey. John. I saw this story. You posted
this on the website the other day and was like,
are you kidding me right now?

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Yeah, it is unbelievable. You know, I've talked to you
about those Halloween decorations because you know everybody wants those
twelve foot skeletons. Yeah, I think they call them skelley
you know. And you see those a whole around and
those things cost two hundred and fifty to three hundred bucks.
So that's skeleton.

Speaker 6 (15:17):
Now.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Of the good news is you can put a Bearcat's
jersey on it on Saturday, in a Bengals jersey on
it on Sunday. You see people doing that. But that's
two ard to fifty to three hundred bucks. That's a
chunk of change. Well, now, if you check out Home
Depot and Low's, they're switching over to Christmas. Yes already,
it's not Halloween. They're switching over to Christmas. You've got
to walk into Low's because it's turning into a tourist attraction.

(15:40):
They have this giant Lootolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, set
of animated lawn figures, and I mean the Abominable Snowman.
He's twelve feet high. I mean, it's unbelievable. It's a
whole set of them, they move, they talk. You got
Yukon Cornelia on u car On Cornelius. You know you
got fat. You got Herbie saying I don't want to be
a Dennis. I mean, it's it's unbelievable. It's the whole

(16:03):
cast from Rudolph.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
It's incredible.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
I was in there the other day doing this story
and like some older couple comes up and they start
taking pictures of themselves in front of it. They go,
we can't afford it, but we'll take pictures in front
of it. You gotta get You got to hear us
in the price. They're all about three to four hundred dollars,
you know, just like that skeleton. But you can't just
put Herbie the dentist in your front yard. You need multiples,

(16:29):
you know, you need a bunch of them. The whole
set is one thousand, three hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (16:38):
Now see that's what you need, rock dude. You got
plenty of space out there. You could buy one hundred reindeery.
Just sprinkle them around your property.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Don't don't give her any ideas that I know.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
I'm trying this right now. I'm trying to think. Yeah,
like okay, because I'm actually on the website.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
I'm looking.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, there's multiple different characters you can get. You can
get uh, you know, the minor looking guy, you can
get the I think you got to get the Abominable snowman.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
You got to get Rudolph the Abominable.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
You got to get Abominable. He looks just like the
one in the show and he roars. I mean it's incredible,
but dude, is four hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
I can't do it. It's not.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
Well, you've got to be one of those people though,
that you count on. You know, you want to be
a Christmas attraction. You know the people do that. They
decorate the house and they're playing with the music, so
you know they're already dropping five eight grad that's.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
One of the houses. Yeah, for one of those houses
that you know, there's like a line of traffic to
see the house, you know because of all the lights
and everything. And you go put that Rootolph set in
your yard. You're going to be the bomb of the neighborhood.
I tell you. But I would make sure you put
a good bike lock around all those figures because wow,
they're expensive.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
That's the thing.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah, I mean people could jump up in your yard
and snatch that thing. You're experience, It's not like you
lose twenty couple couple hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
Yeah, yeah, it's not a twenty dollars inflatable, you know.
It's it's some real jack. But I've got the story
on my Instagram and on my Facebook page if you
want to check it out, because we got them all
to talk. He was so cool, kind of you know,
got video of the whole thing, and there's there's Yukon
Cornelius and there's Rude Off with his nose glowing, and

(18:23):
it's it's quite impressive, I will say. And you can
see it lows and take your picture in front of it,
and that won't cost you anything.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Did you think a thousand bucks.

Speaker 5 (18:33):
Talking about stealing those things? Did you guys see that
video not too long ago of the woman who pulled
up in front of some guy's house with their car
and he had one of those giant inflatable skeletons out there.
She walks up and just takes it down. Yeah, sticks
it her trunk and drives away. Yeah, in the in broadwaylight.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
The inflatables are easy targets because they fold down.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Now these you.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Know, the abottom was smell snowman here from the I'm
looking on the picture on your website, John it looks
like it's a real plastic giant thing.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Yeah, it is a giant thing. Yeah, it's not unflatable
to take the air out and uh take the air
out and stick it in the trunk of your car.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
So those are and you know what, you probably need
a big three.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
Car garage to store. I mean, we're you going to
put that soccer for that for the summer?

Speaker 5 (19:23):
Yeah, you drop three grand on your Christmas display. Now
you got to rent a.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Two hundred bucks a month to keep them.

Speaker 6 (19:36):
So what else we got going on, Johnny, Well, we've
got all sorts of consumer issues and alerts and schemes
that we've been reporting on.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
And did I warned about the garage door scam last week?
I might have I'm truck remember that one.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
I was not here Friday, so I don't remember if
we Uh.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Yeah, we did story story about it. And it's a
good warning that you need a garage door fixed, and
people are going We had a woman out in Claremont
County one on her phone and said garage door repair
near me and Bingo makes a call call some number.
Turns out it'stand in Florida somewhere. They send Jimbob out,

(20:20):
who basically, you know, scariest character you've ever seen in
his old rusty truck and uh, you know, three times
the initial estimate, and she just pays them cash to
get him out of the house. It's like, this guy's scary,
but there's so many of these. It also happens with locksmith.
Let's say you lock yourself out of the house. We've
had this one come up before where some woman's like

(20:41):
she contacted me. She said, John, I locked myself out
of the house. Luckily, out of my phone, I looked
up locksmith's near me, and up comes some you know
Cincinnati aaaaa locksmith you know how they do it at
the top of the phone book whatever, and looks up
one of those locksmith comes over and again it's Jimbob
and an unmarked truck. And he said, you know when

(21:02):
she called, they said, oh, we'll let you in your
house for one hundred bucks. You can deal with that.
Jim Bob comes over, said, here, I need a new
lock charges like eight hundred dollars to let her in.
Her house after she locked herself out. So you've got
to be so careful when you're looking for a garage
door repair or you're looking for a locksmith to get
you into your house, you need to look up and

(21:25):
makes just make sure it's a real company. Just don't
put in locksmith near me. That's where you fall victim
to these scamps. We're everywhere. And I like to say
a scheme.

Speaker 5 (21:38):
My brother went out with a locksmith for a while.
Her father owned a lock that's that was his business,
and she did it with with him. And I'll see
she had some really weird stories talking about uh, you know,
you got the irate ex husband who's, oh, I'm a

(21:58):
locked house here and blah blah blah. And he was like,
you had to be real careful.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yeah, yeah, life changes the lock husband can't husband can't
get in because she's like, you're out on the street
to change the lock. And then you must have had
like the kinky people who's like, I'm locked in my
bedroom and I can't get out.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
My mind didn't go there, it didn't at all, but
didn't go to that one.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Now I will leave. I will leave you with that image.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
The hardware store wearing a trench coat and the top
and if a Dora either.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
So, uh, I guess I'm behind.

Speaker 11 (22:42):
There.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
You go, Hey, guys, have a good weekend and don't
waste your money.

Speaker 5 (22:47):
Yes, uh well there's a John Mattery's and uh yeah,
that's the first thing I thought of. I'm locked in
my handcuffs in my bedroom.

Canada will eventually pull a TV ad that angered President Trump.
This is the four o'clock report. I'm Matt Reese breaking now.
Ontario Canada says it will pull a TV ad that
features former President Reagan criticizing trade tariffs, but not right away.
That ad has caused President Trump to stop trade talks

They're going to continue airing this ad through the weekend
because of the World Series. The Toronto Blue Jays are
playing the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, so

We're talking about while we're there to talk talky, Yeah,
because it's like straight out of a movie.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
I mean, you got the mafia involved. Who knew the
mafia was powerful? These days?

Speaker 1 (29:09):
You got card viewing technology and X ray glasses and
you know this person's in on it, that person's in
on and then that's almost even separate from then you
got the situation with Terry Rozier possibly using inside information
to hedge some prop bets, and it's kind of a mess.
And look, the NBA season just started and here we

(29:30):
are right out of the gate. Just not a good
look for the NBA right now. Well, we bring in
our guest. He has been around the business so Brown
sports and broadcasting for over forty years. He is Mark
elfenbeien elf How you doing today, man.

Speaker 17 (29:46):
Dollas, how were you happy? Weekend coming up?

Speaker 5 (29:48):
It's Sarah so Elfa in your opinion? What was this?
A long time coming? But we were talking about it earlier.
With the gambling being as pervasive as it is now,
it was only a matter of time, right.

Speaker 17 (30:04):
Oh, one hundred percent. I mean, listen, this was not
a shock.

Speaker 18 (30:08):
It was maybe a little bit of a surprise. It's
just that, you know, look, it's been going on forever.

Speaker 17 (30:13):
We all know it.

Speaker 18 (30:14):
Everybody's been betting, gambling. My father's gambled, everybody gambled, and
it was kind of the hush hush, God forbid you
say anything on TV even when a game is being played.
But listen, now they've made it open. They've made it clear.
You can't see a TV crawl without betting. You can't
have any TV show without talking about gambling. Not only
gambling on the game, guys gambling on the play, I

(30:36):
mean gambling on halftime. And I think the thing that
caught I guess a little bit of us off guard
is when you hear a name like Hall of Famer
Chauncey Billups, who was an active, an active coach in
the NBA involved, The first thing I thought of is
he's involved in something regarding the games, and he was

(30:57):
the one that was involved in the gambling thing with
the cards in the mind afia, which scares the hell
out of me because I don't want to get involved
with in the mafia.

Speaker 17 (31:04):
I like those guys. I want to be friends with them.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Yes, yes, we all do.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
I think that the shocking thing to me, it's not shocking,
I guess because with so many different ways of gambling.
We have a gambling guy we talked to every Thursday
to talk about the NFL action, and there's all these
prop bets, all these you know, things that I don't feel.
I don't think existed even a couple of years ago.
But it's kind of odd wagers you can make on

(31:31):
a certain amount of points that Guile score in the
third quarter of the game. And it sounds like what
Terry Rozier did, If I'm not mistaken, it would be
taking some of these prop bets and would you know,
either play or not play a certain amount of time
in one of those those quarters, and then maybe pass
that information along to some of his friends or whoever,

(31:51):
and they would place bets. But it would kind of
be a red flag because all of a sudden there'd
be a ton of money on some obscure prop bet, right.

Speaker 17 (31:59):
Oh yeah, yeah, And look, I mean you and everybody else.

Speaker 18 (32:02):
We all been talking to people all with the country
that passed twenty four hours and prop bets have always
been out there. But one of the things that every
team in the league has to do is, you know,
you got to hey is so and so playing?

Speaker 17 (32:13):
You have so many.

Speaker 18 (32:13):
Hours before the game starts. You got to let be
known who's playing who's not. Well, if I find out
Luka Doncons is not playing tonight for the Lakers, guess
you want betting on, right, And that's part of what
you know Terry Rozier, and I can promise you dozens
of others have been doing and if you if you've
seen the highlights state they've been showing the last twenty

(32:35):
four forty eight hours, is the game that Rosier was
involved in that the I guess he said he was
going to be under his total and he was just
throwing the ball away, throwing the ball away. And then
I then I found out today that that day of
that game that Vegas was taking more action on the

(32:57):
under for Terry Rosier than they've ever had. The Vegas
contact in the NBA and told.

Speaker 17 (33:03):
Them, and the NBA didn't do anything. Wow, told them.

Speaker 18 (33:08):
Hey, we got a lot of action coming on Rosier
an obscure game that nobody cares about.

Speaker 17 (33:14):
But this is a little odd for us, and here
we are in Vegas.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
It would almost be like if they if you didn't
give that information to as many people and they weren't
so greedy, were they made you know, some you know,
big time money wagers on this, you probably would have
gotten away with it.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
But those red flags show up, right, Yeah.

Speaker 17 (33:35):
I mean they do.

Speaker 18 (33:38):
Listen, what was it ten twelve, fifteen years ago than
Tim donaghy the scandal with him, you know, and we
we kind of joked it was like, wow, you know,
what official.

Speaker 17 (33:48):
Or what player in any sport has.

Speaker 18 (33:51):
The most ability to change the outcome or you know,
fix a game. Is it a referee? Is it an umpire?
Is it are in football? Is it the player?

Speaker 11 (34:02):
You know?

Speaker 17 (34:03):
And Donna, he showed it. Oh I can do it.
Oh no, you traveled no way? Did Yeah you did? Sorry?
You know I need the over tonight.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
You traveled right, No, no doubt about it. And Mark
alvin By is our guest here in I mean, is
are we to believe Chauncey Billups is the only one
that was involved even in the in the poker thing.
I have to imagine this is going to go a
lot lot further right.

Speaker 17 (34:26):
Oh yeah, I think it's a lot deeper.

Speaker 18 (34:28):
I think the thing again that kinda is surprising to
me is the FBI agent said Chauncey Willis was involved,
and I'm thinking, oh, okay, he's involved now as an
NBA coach. Wow, that's shocking. He said, no, no, no,
we go back to when Chauncey Billups was playing, is
what he was involved in? These poker games? And that's

(34:49):
the part that I was like, wow, when he was playing,
he was involved, and he was the one that was
really in charge of getting other people friends of his
to play with, someelebrity people. And according to the FBI,
everybody was in on the take, including Chauncey and I
was still but his friends and his buddies.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
The amazing thing is, if you're Chauncey Billups. I looked
it up.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
He's made one hundred and eighty million dollars in his career.
Terry Razier's made one hundred and sixty million. You know,
why would you get involved in this?

Speaker 2 (35:22):
Is it? I guess the thrill, the.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Win and but but I guess the case I would
make is, you know, Michael Jordan liked the gamble and
because he liked the juice, he liked the action, he
liked the tension. But there's not really the tension if
you if the game is rigged, right, I mean, it's
there's no real there's no real rush that that you
would get. I would I would imagine, No.

Speaker 18 (35:42):
Well I don't know that, and I imagine you don't.
But it's again what I've been hearing lately. It's it's
the addiction, just the flat out addiction to you know,
they need that to them. I guess it is that
rush of even if I'm betting on a game.

Speaker 17 (35:58):
And it's over and I know the over and it's
one game, having all that money doesn't do anything. They
still need.

Speaker 18 (36:06):
More action, and I, yeah, it's crazy. I find it amazing.
You know, I don't have that kind of bread.

Speaker 5 (36:14):
Well, some of something we were talking about earlier is
some of these guys, Yeah they don't need the money,
but say, you know their posse, they're guys, you know
they got look, uh, you know, I'm having a little
trouble again meat alimony or whatever the case might be.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
And so it's like, yeah, yeah, the player doesn't want
to hand them money, but he said, heym not gonna.
I'm not gonna.

Speaker 5 (36:38):
I've already given you one hundred thousand dollars, bro, but
I will sit this one out for just for you.
Put ten thousand dollars on me tonight to score under
thirty or whatever the case might be.

Speaker 18 (36:49):
Right, all of a sudden, my ankle is gonna be
hurting me in the second quarter.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Watch Yeah right, Yeah, that's that's part. So I mean
what I in a way.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
I guess that the fact that there's so much legal
gambling going on now is maybe a big reason why
this was even caught, right, So I guess the question
is this gambling culture that we're in right now, where
that's so pervasive when sports, is it a good thing
or is it going to lead to more of this
kind of thing?

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Do you think?

Speaker 18 (37:19):
Well, look, it's been going on forever. I mean, my
father gambled when I was young. I took the phone
calls from him every Sunday. It never led me to gamble,
but I know it always went on, and it was
always looked at it. Well, there's only a couple of
states in our country you can gamble, and it's you're
not supposed to gamble anyway, but everybody did it.

Speaker 17 (37:36):
They had offshore guys.

Speaker 18 (37:38):
Well now that look nil is open, right, They still
seated and gave players money before. Now it's just I'm
giving to you on top of the table instead of
under and gambling. Now that it's it's pretty legal, and
they talk about it, and all the teams have got
all the advertising non stop, right, we watched you know,
Get Up and all the ESPN they I mean non stop.

(38:00):
The crawl on the TV and every game, every play,
every every I mean, all the athletes are doing it.
They're all talking about it. The problem is is what
does the NBA do now? I mean, you really got
to have something either in place immediately or you gotta
make it where Okay, listen, pretty simple. You're done, you

(38:20):
get nailed, You're done forever, you know. I mean, baseball
still got their band in the Hall of Fame. I
don't know what the hell you do with Shauncey billups now.
I mean a lot of people, you know, you're not
guilty until you're proven guilty.

Speaker 17 (38:32):
All right, he's guilty.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
I mean, the FBI doesn't bring charges and you're we'll
see already, right astigate you're.

Speaker 17 (38:41):
Not gonna put egg on their own face? Right?

Speaker 3 (38:44):
Well?

Speaker 5 (38:44):
Elf, this this really hits home here in Cincinnati because
of a certain baseball player who shall go nameless. But yeah,
but but you think about all the stuff that's happened
over the years, and what the possibilities could have been
and what you know, we all want to believe, right,
we want to believe that this is pure and these

(39:06):
guys aren't doing anything beneath board, and that everything is
you know, right level level, but man, humans are humans, right, Yeah.

Speaker 18 (39:18):
And you know, it's like I've been asked for years.

Speaker 17 (39:22):
I mean doing a talk show for so long. You know, everybody, Hey,
what do you want to play fantasy football? I said, no,
they go why not? It's fun?

Speaker 18 (39:28):
I said, because it changes the way I watched the game.
I start watching players instead of the game. I want
to enjoy the game. And I found the one or
two times I succumb to the begging of fantasy football.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
I'm watching the guy.

Speaker 17 (39:42):
I'm looking at the guy to score. No, I want
drama from the football game. And uh, I think betting
is kind of the same thing.

Speaker 18 (39:50):
You know, people might enjoy the game, but betting on
a game adds that extra bit of juice, that extra
bit of excitement that some people they can't stop it,
They can't stop themselves.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
You know, if I've told this sto around here. But
I got a buddy who and nothing crazy, but he bets,
you know, a decent amount of games weekend. I'm like,
to your point, I'm like, I can't really enjoy the game.
Like if I got a lot of money on it,
is I don't. I wouldn't want to do it. He goes,
I don't know how you watch a game without gambling
on it, Right, He's like, I'm more engaged in it

(40:23):
I I watch it. But but the other thought I
had too was this Mark was I feel like today,
more than ever, people are there's all these conspiracy theories
that the NFL is rigged and baseball is rigged, and
the referees are are doing this and that, and which
I think is largely overall bs. But but things like

(40:44):
this don't help that case, right, They don't help the
case that it's a pure sport and the and the
athletes decide the outcomes, that that sort of thing.

Speaker 18 (40:53):
Yeah, I mean, we want to believe it is pure.
We want to believe, you know, the right things happened.
I Yeah, the uman element of the game. That's why
we bitch and moan about, you know, not having umpires
in baseball. How could you possibly do? That takes away
the human element. Okay, they'll still find a way to,
you know, to do what they want to do.

Speaker 5 (41:12):
To talk machines and the cheating machines. Right, they programmed
that that robot umpire to call that a ball.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
With the with that elf, we will let you go man,
Thanks so much.

Speaker 17 (41:28):
Fellas, have a great weekend.

Speaker 5 (41:29):
Thanks so much. Appreciate Mark, Elf and bye. And It's true,
are we all like little kids in that regard? We
all want to believe that it's uh, it's pure and
that these guys will walk on clouds, and I.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
Think it is in my experience, it is for the
most part. But things like this don't don't help that.
They don't help ease some of those concerns that people
have if there's somebody's gambling on it and you know
that that.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
Sort of thing.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
So anyway, we'll see how this goes. I imagine ed
we'll be talking about this. We talk about this next week,
and by the time we talk about it on Monday Tuesday,
it's going to be there's even more people going to
be involved in this deal.

schedule to get try to get another win? It would

(44:44):
be the New York Jets. Unfortunately, and join us right now.
He's an ESPN reporter covering the New York Jets. Rich Samini, Rich, how.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
Are you partner?

Speaker 3 (44:55):
Great?

Speaker 1 (44:56):
Good to be with you guys, Very good, so Rich,
I guess, look, give us the state of affairs up
in New York with his Jets team oh and seven.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
I know Aaron Glenn, I mean, I know a.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
Lot of folks had a lot of you know, thought
he could do a great job. Then there's the quarterback situations.
To just give us the lay of the land and
what's going on with this Jets team.

Speaker 4 (45:18):
Yeah, I mean, I don't think anyone thought they'd be
a playoff team this year. But I don't think anyone
thought they'd be O and seven either. I mean, they're
just underachieving right now. They do have some good players
on the roster. It's not a roster, you know, the
cupboard is not bear here. Yet they're playing like an
expansion team at times. I mean, they're just you know,

(45:39):
one week, the offense will do okay and the defense
will be poor, and then they'll flip it the next week.
That's the sign of a bad team. I thought Aaron
Glenn would come in and run a very buttoned up
operation in terms of like managing the game and you know,
time management and things like that. But there's been a
lot of glitches in that department as well. So the

(46:00):
Jets have totally earned their oh and seven record right now.

Speaker 5 (46:04):
So let me ask you, Rich, I'm talking about different
players and whatnot. Obviously Sauce Gardner would a lot of
interest here in Cincinnati. And what's his problem right now?

Speaker 4 (46:18):
Well, he's not playing this week. He has a concussion,
so won't be what it was.

Speaker 8 (46:24):
Yeah, he did not.

Speaker 4 (46:25):
He got banged up in last week's game, and uh,
you know it's unfortunate. I know he was looking forward
to going back to Cincinnati and he's one of their
best players. And it's gonna make it a lot harder
for the Jets to cover those Cincinnati wide receivers.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
No doubt.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
But it seems like one of the Jets have been
able to do is run the ball with with with
Bryce Hall a fantastic running back.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
And I don't know how much you've watched the Bengals, Rich,
but the Bengals can. If they've had one consistent problem
all year, it's tackling. I mean, they've been a very,
very poor tackling team all year, which makes you kind
of susceptible. How I guess, how well do you think
that Jets rushing attack and do against the Bengals defense.

Speaker 4 (47:09):
Yeah, that's probably the Jets' best way to win this
game is just to get that running game going.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
You know, it's been.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
They started off really well this year running the ball.
It's kind of been a hit or miss lately. But
you know, Breese Hall is a good running back. He
can catch the ball out of the backfield, although for
some reason they don't need to be throwing it to
him as much this year.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
But you're right.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
If the Jets have a game plan, and I'm sure
their game plan is heavily leaning on the run game,
that's who they want to be anyway. That's as they
like to say, it's our DNA. Sometimes it vanishes on
them their DNA for a while, as it did last
week against Carolina. But yeah, I totally think they will
make a concerted effort to try to pound the rock

(47:51):
against that soft Bengals defense.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
And Rich, let me ask you about justin Fields because
I mean, he's a guy. Look, he's got all the
tools and he's produced. There's been games there's a game
in I was reading this week, Yeah, twenty twenty three
against the Broncos. He throws for three hundred and thirty five.
He's had a big game against the Steelers recently. I
recall what's been Justin Field's issuear here with the Jets

(48:16):
this season.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
Well, part of.

Speaker 4 (48:18):
It is is this that he's with the Jets. I mean,
they're just a historically a poor team for developing quarterbacks,
and they thought they could take his talent and harness
it and make him better than he has been in
the past. But that has not been the case. He's
actually been worse than he has been in the past.

(48:40):
I don't think they really coach him that well. I
think they're trying to run a dropback offense.

Speaker 3 (48:45):
It's basically like the Detroit offense.

Speaker 4 (48:47):
You know, their coordinator came from the Lions, and they're
trying to make him a drop back quarterback and it's
been a disaster. He looks tentative, he's indecisive, he looks
lost at times, and so he got benched at time
last week and now they have not announced who their
starter is going to be this week. I think it's
going to be Tyrod Taylor. That's what I was told

(49:08):
earlier in the week. Aaron Glenn is trying to keep
this a secret. Is if that's going to, you know,
cause some problems for the Bengals that I don't really
think it matters which quarterback they play well.

Speaker 5 (49:18):
Rich in your opinion, is Taylor an upgrade or is
it just almost a punishment at the stage.

Speaker 4 (49:27):
Not a punishment.

Speaker 3 (49:29):
He does give.

Speaker 4 (49:31):
Yeah, I mean he he gives them their best chance
to win. I'm talking about Tyrod Taylor. I mean, Field
has to be used a certain way. When Fields is running,
you know, with the Reid option and scrambling and doing
things like that, he can be in effect their quarterback.
But they have lost all sense of that their offense.
They don't seem to be calling those plays anymore. And

(49:52):
Fields when he drops back to pass is basically a liability.
And even the owner came out a few days ago
in basic lead, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
Publicly ripped Justin s. Fields.

Speaker 4 (50:03):
Now what he said was true, I mean it was
an accurate, you know, description of Fields's play.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
But you're the owner.

Speaker 4 (50:11):
You don't come out and say stuff like that about
one of your players, which is just you know, he
just put his foot in his mouth, as he often does.
But I think Tyrod gives him their best chance. He
can operate from the pocket. You know, he tends to
push the ball down field more and so I think
their receivers will be more involved.

Speaker 6 (50:29):
You know.

Speaker 4 (50:29):
The one thing there though, is that Garrett Wilson is
not playing, you know, their best receiver. He's out this
week with a knee injury.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
Now now Rich among the conversations in New York, is
there real concern that this team could go own seventeen?
I mean he played the Bengals this week, which, look,
the Bengals have not been a great team this year.
Cleveland next week, you know, always a tough opponent than
at New England. Baltimore looks like they could probably turn

(50:57):
it around. You would think they would. Is there real
concern that that will happen? Is this team that I mean,
I guess rudderless at the moment.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
Yeah, I can't. I can't really argue with everything you
said there. I mean, they're just not blame not playing
good football. Now, they've been in games. It's not like
they're getting blown out. They they've had five games where
it's been one score games and they just have not
been able to find the winning formula. Can they go
oh in seventeen? I mean that's really.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
Hard to do.

Speaker 4 (51:28):
No one's ever gone to O in seventeen. My sense
is that they'll probably get a win or two along
the way. You know, they have you know, the bye.

Speaker 3 (51:36):
Week next week.

Speaker 4 (51:37):
Then they have Cleveland's for all their issues. Cleveland has
a really good defense. I don't see how the Jets
are going to score a touchdown against Cleveland. And so
they have Miami coming up there. That Miami that yeah, yeah,
Miami might be worse and worse shape than the Jets.
And they play New Orleans later on, so there are

(51:58):
a couple opportunities. Don't think he'll go oh in seventeen.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
All right with that, Rich, we will see what happens
on Sunday. Thanks so much, man, all right, you're welcome.
Have a good day. Yeah, thanks for joining us.

Speaker 5 (52:12):
Yea, Rich Samanie, he reports on the Jets for ESPN s.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
He's just when you think it's bad, ed, there's always
someone else that has a little worse.

Speaker 5 (52:22):
Well, as soon as he said Miami, I was like, well, hey,
look there's a dub.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
And it's so funny because not two years ago, three
years ago. Mike McDaniels. Oh, he's the new age coach.
And he's cool, he's you know, he's different, he thinks
so and yeah, I think he is all those things.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
I just think he's a play caller more than a coach.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
I still think, and I feel like I've been proven
right over and over and over. A coach that kind
of lays the law down a little bit is usually
going to have success over the guy who's just the players.
Even Tony Dungeye, he was not a yeller.

Speaker 5 (53:02):
He was not an intimidating guy.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
Yeah, but but but he also was was no bs
like he had he had his own just kind of
a certain way of of being tough about things. And
it was just very kind of you know, like like
very matter of fact and not yelling at you. But
but he'd lets you know if you weren't playing well
right like you know. So his style is maybe different,

(53:26):
maybe he's maybe he is the outlier to some degree,
but yeah, I just think that the coaches that you
know kind of manage every everything and you get the
coordinator to call the plays, and you know, I feel
like that works.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
And uh so that the dolphins certainly don't.

Speaker 5 (53:41):
Have see I was going to ask you about Dungee
in regard to he seems like the dad that you
wouldn't want to disappoint.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
Oh totally, yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (53:52):
Yeah, like he doesn't have to yell at you, like
you know, you do something screwed up, and he just
looks saying, he goes, man, I thought you were better
than that.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
It just melt. Yeah, it was.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
I remember being in you know, in a film session
and you know something of somebody I forget it was
didn't make a play and you know, mess misattackle something,
and you know, one of the defensive coordinators was like, oh,
you know, so what happened here? And the players like
trying to argue what happened this and that, and you know,
and and Tony don't. It wasn't even the meeting, but
he like walked past the hall, poked his head and

(54:24):
he said, well that's just number fifty two not making
a play, coach, That's all it is. And he's just
been like walked out like whoa, where where did he
come from? And it was just so matter of fact,
you know, and it's like even though you think he's
not watching and engaged.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
He he most certainly is so. Yeah, he had his
own way of doing it with that way. Check in

Speaker 2 (56:44):
All right, ed?

Speaker 1 (56:46):
You might be interested in this story here and I
feel like you're seeing this more and more. You know,
the obviously pod is legalized that in a lot of
different places.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
Right, yeah, far taken, but once or twice.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
But a Washington, DC tenant was ordered to stop smoking
marijuana after his neighbor sued him and claimed that the
constant wheat smoke was ruining her quality of life. This woman,
seventy six years old, said her neighbor, Thomas Kackett, who
is seventy three, which is awesome, smoked marijuana quote twenty

(57:23):
four to seven, and that the foul and pungent odor
made her violently sick. The woman claimed in court papers
that her niece had not visited her her place, wouldn't
come over and visit her aunt because of his constant smoking. Now,
a DC Court of Appeals ruled that Cackett must quit
smoking weed. And what could be a landmark decision across

(57:46):
the United States, And I think people that don't smoke
that would be one of their number one pet peeves
with it is the odor of it. I mean you
can't you can't drive through downtown Cincinnati or frankly any
city melling it all over the place, and frankly a
lot of times even like going going down the highway

(58:07):
at times, which is odd to me, but you're like, oh,
that guy in that car right there, dude.

Speaker 5 (58:12):
I was driving down I seventy five today, and I
think we all know how busy I seventy five is.
And it wasn't like I was stuck in traffic. We're
going sixty five miles an hour and I smelled weed
wasn't in my car. I don't know how you smell
it going that fast in an open road.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
And the thing with me again, I don't not my thing,
But there's so many other ways to do it, right
with the gummies and the vapes and the they got
the drinks. Now, it's like you can do it without
being a burden on everybody else, in this case, your neighbor.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
I don't know why you folks would wouldn't do that.

Speaker 5 (58:52):
Well, it's what gets me is how powerful and pungent
it is, though, you know what I mean. Yeah, back
in the day, you could, you know, be smoked a
little weed in your bedroom, maybe your parents, your parents
probably could even smell it out in the living room,
but of course you were in there smoking the joint,
blowing the smoke out the window and whatnot. Of course

(59:14):
I wouldn't know that. But but the fact that you
can smell that. Like, like I said, driving down the
freaking interstate, man, that's strong stuff.

Speaker 2 (59:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
But but no, I think this is, as I said,
a landmark case here, because you know, it's kind of
setting a little bit of a pressing in here for
some other folks that I think would would tend to
agree with its lady.

Speaker 5 (59:37):
So, speaking of driving down the interstate rock, I was
with my lovely wife and they have those message boards, right, yeah,
the things, you know what I mean, the billboards, the
traffic boards. Yeah, they could say, you know, blah blah blah,
ten minutes, you know, wreck on the right shore, order up,

(01:00:00):
you know, two miles ahead, or whatever the case might be.
But he also those little messages, right, those cute little
messages like a post it note or something. Hang in there, baby,
you know, like those old things. Right, but they always
have cute little messages like plenty kind of things. And
the one that I saw today and I just want
to talk to my friends who do that. Okay, it

(01:00:23):
says teen fourteen drivers, Uh, texting and driving is totally
cringe or right, distracted it's distracted driving is totally cringe.
And I looked at deb and I said so you
got a sixteen year old kid driving down the road.

(01:00:43):
He looks up to read that side and he goes,
what does that say?

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
Boots many ass? Yeah, reading that thing.

Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
I think that message is the most cringe thing of all,
is it correct? Trying to be cool, trying to be hip.
That's why don't use some of those most of those words.

Speaker 4 (01:00:59):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
I knew if I threw out whatever the latest lingo
is by the kids, it would look dorky.

Speaker 5 (01:01:05):
So well, that's the thing that my wife said that
to me today. She said, isn't that pass?

Speaker 19 (01:01:12):
Do now?

Speaker 6 (01:01:13):
You go?

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
I don't know.

like anytime a word becomes something like that becomes cool,
it's not cool in two weeks.

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):

and I actually do think it's it's I actually like
it as no cap no cap like, which means I'm
not I'm not messing with you, right, Like you know Dan,
you know, went to school and this kid just walk
up and punch this other kid no cap. You know,

I don't think this is anything new. The one in
I think it was one in three. Shoot, I have
it right here in front of me. One, yeah, one
and three gen Z singles admit to going out on

(01:09:14):
a date so they could get a free meal. Now,
and I've been out on dates before, well back in
the day. Best I can remember where you knew that
basically they were only in it for the for the
spaghetti ditterer or whatever.

Speaker 11 (01:09:35):
But are they calling that the foody call a foodie
call instead of a booty call.

Speaker 2 (01:09:41):
I didn't see that. That's that's clever, though, I do
like that.

Speaker 11 (01:09:45):
I'm shocked that one slip past you guys, how But yeah, well,
age old trick. I mean, it's not like this hasn't
been going on forever. However, I'm sure that now that
there's you know, the economy has said what it was,
it is, uh, you know, you're probably seeing a little
more of that. And there are women and they are

(01:10:09):
I guess they're talking about it on TikTok, even though
I'm not on TikTok, but they're talking about how they
do it all the time and bragging about it. So
it's it's definitely a thing. And there are some women
that do it all the time, so always have see
how they make up, that's how they survive.

Speaker 1 (01:10:27):
I would weigh it like, I mean, okay, what is
it you know, probably all together between getting ready and
going out and what I mean you're talking two or
three hours is two or three hours worth you know
getting Uh yeah, as Ed said, some grilled chicken somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
I don't know. I guess some women see it that way.

Speaker 4 (01:10:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:10:47):
You know, it's interesting because a lot of women will say, well,
you know, I go out and buy a new outfit
and you know, spend all this time getting ready that
they at least owe me a meal, So you know,
you hear that, and hey, I will say this though,
I think we're also you know, looking at trends with
the with the younger women, you know the guests. Are

(01:11:09):
there ones that are on tuty calls, yes, and looking
for a free meal. Yes, but there's there's a lot
of these women too that want to split the check.
So you know, expect that's been something that we've seen
on the rise lately too, and especially if the woman
isn't interested in the man, she doesn't want to owe
him anything, and so well.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
Yeah, my next part is, yeah, you would feel like
he owed somebody something. But yeah, if they split the check.
We live in the age of women empowerment. If they
want to do that and feel better about themselves, that's
that's fine.

Speaker 11 (01:11:45):
Yeah, yeah, you know that is that is one of
the most interesting questions. And to hear men men especially
be all over the board about it. Like there's some
men that will say, not a chance that you're going
to pay for that, And then there's other men that
don't mind at all. You can split the check, pay
for it. They don't care. They're like, oh, thanks, I've

(01:12:08):
run into that too. I've been on you know, meetings
or something. It doesn't matter who calls it. I'll go
to get my card out. Oh thank you. The guy
will say I'm surprised that men allow that. You know,
I'm shocked. I mean, at least at least you know,
object and let her insist, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12:31):
You should horseback once or twice. No, you know, I'm
not gonna let you do that. No, no, no, I'm okay.

the one guy goes, oh, dude, I got I got
these beers or whatever. You go, oh, man, let me,
I'll get mine, and they go no, I insist, okay, perfect,
go ahead, get to the next time.

Speaker 11 (01:12:51):
Right right. Yeah, So I know, and I've, like I said,
I've been out with guys too as friends, and they
would look at me like if I could pull my car,
don't you dare touch your walk? Don't you go near that,
you know, And so you know it. I think people
are all over the board when it comes to this,
But I do think men need to I do you

(01:13:11):
think men need to watch out? I think that there
are plenty of women that are looking for a free meal,
or a free Louis Baton, or are a free trip
to you know, Paris, France.

Speaker 2 (01:13:22):
So yeah, it escalated quickly.

Speaker 1 (01:13:26):
Who isn't looking for a free driven Paris. I'll charm somebody.

Speaker 17 (01:13:30):
I'll charm it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
Go to Paris, man.

Speaker 5 (01:13:35):
But by the same token, Jen Rocky and I were
talking about it, and I talked to you a little
bit about it, and then text the other day is that, yeah,
you're looking for a free meal. Well, I'm looking for
a prostitute for the cost of a cheeseburger and fries.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
So there you go, even Steven.

Speaker 11 (01:13:53):
Yeah, there you go. Hey, guys, you know it's funny.
I just was talking to somebody about this. You know,
women these days are not even pretending to want a
pre meal. I mean, I actually, I don't know if
I've sent the text messages to you. A guy friend
of mine forwarded me some messages and he said, I'm
getting these from women lately, and then other guys have confirmed,

(01:14:13):
oh yes. When I posted them, they're like, oh yeah,
I'm getting them too. These women are telling the guys
not only do I if you want to date me,
do I require that we go to a four or
five star restaurant at least? But if you date me,
I'm telling you up front, I get a monthly stiphon,
I get a you know, they get paid monthly and

(01:14:34):
Oh yeah, it's crazy, but I've seen it, like I'm
seeing these text messages and it's insanity. Yeah anyway, Yeah,
I mean, only beta males would would go after a
woman that makes all those demands.

Speaker 1 (01:14:48):
I mean, if ed knows my fascination with Gwen Stefani,
she will always be the love of my life.

Speaker 2 (01:14:53):
And Susan stupid country singer, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:14:56):
She in Law's if she gave he said, Rock, you
know what, I want to give you a shot, but
you know what you're gonna be paying. You gotta pay
me a monthly stipend and I gotta be like, no,
I'm not gonna do that. I got a little, you know,
a little integrity here myself. I got a little I
think of myself a little bit. I'm not going to
do that.

Speaker 5 (01:15:16):
It's crazy you're talking to us. I know exactly what
would happen.

Speaker 2 (01:15:21):
Well, I really don't want it, but she'd be like, Rock,
it's your it's your shot.

Speaker 5 (01:15:26):
You've been waiting your whole life since you were a
teenager and was teen years old now much telling you.

Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
I just can't believe women. Women act like that. That's
I mean, there's there's not many men out.

Speaker 4 (01:15:39):
There that.

Speaker 3 (01:15:41):
Kid.

Speaker 2 (01:15:42):
Yet that sounds like that to me. So what about
this thing? What about jen throning?

Speaker 5 (01:15:48):
That's a we we talked a couple of weeks ago
about shreking, where you did an ugly person, they're going
to treat you better.

Speaker 2 (01:15:59):
Now, owning is the opposite of that. What is that.

Speaker 11 (01:16:04):
Throning is when they're just focused on somebody's social status,
so they're more interested in what you can do for
them versus anything else. So it's, you know, they're attracted
to somebody that's got to t I see this all
the time. A title or money or you know, has
the ability to get them a great job. Yeah, I'm

(01:16:27):
telling you right now, I see a lot of this
in Dallas, Texas.

Speaker 1 (01:16:30):
But this is not something new either. I mean women
have been going after high high profile men for a
long long time to elevate their social.

Speaker 11 (01:16:40):
Status, right, one hundred one hundred percent. None of this
stuff is new. They just like to come up with
new names for it, you know. I mean that's that's all.
And you know, TikTok's all about, you know, trying to
create a trend or something, you know, some kind of
viral trend. So they name it. But yeah, No, people
have been doing this forever. Uh, you know, of course,

(01:17:03):
mainly women to men. You know, gosh, guys just have
to be where, don't they. After today, all your bye
listeners are going to be like, oh my god.

Speaker 5 (01:17:11):
Well, let me ask you, is it do guys do
this at all? Because you're basically trying to be a
jigilow or something. I don't know what you call that,
but yeah, if you're going after a rich woman just
because hey, it's going to make me look good, I
mean I would think that if you go okay, I like, well, okay,
rocky case in point Gwen Stefani, guess what you are

(01:17:35):
start telling people, Well, I left my wife and family,
but now I'm with Gwen Stefani. You don't think all
your friends are going to go bro do bad about
your family.

Speaker 2 (01:17:44):
But that's cool, that's awesome.

Speaker 17 (01:17:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:17:51):
Well, let's just I mean, honestly, I think there's there's
plenty of men that that are looking women that can
support them. I mean, I've seen it a lot more
lately than I've been ever in the past. Uh, in
the past couple of years, men seem to have gotten

(01:18:11):
very comfortable letting a woman pay for things and support him.
So uh, I feel I mean, I see a lot
of it. Again, I don't know it's just because I
live in Dallas, but there are a lot of wealthy women,
and there are a lot of wealthy men, and I
do see it happening amongst the women too, where they're
getting they're getting the same thing. I have to tell

(01:18:31):
some of my wealthier women to be careful, you know.
Just you know, that thirty five year old guy that's
hot and you're sixty five, there may be something else,
you know, besides your dashingly good looks that is attracting him.

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):
So yeah, but it does happen.

Speaker 2 (01:18:48):
It shouldn't be that way though, right.

Speaker 1 (01:18:50):
It should be the man kind of, you know, being
the you know, I want to say, the provider in
it all. But you know, it's kind of I think
you're a little moreditional, correct.

Speaker 11 (01:19:02):
I am? I am? I do I And you know
I do see two. I do see women and men,
but mostly women saying that I have a lot of money.
The women will say, I don't care if the guy
makes less money than I do or just earns a
good living, as long as he's self sufficient, you know,
So he's not you know, trying to.

Speaker 1 (01:19:22):
Live off right, right, Yeah, how he's got something going on.
It doesn't have to be my level. But as long
as he's just not sitting there being a deadbeat.

Speaker 11 (01:19:32):
Yeah, But then you know, there's all kinds of problems
that go into that, uh issue when a woman is
flipping the bill for everything, so she wants to go
to we'll say Paris because that's our city today. She
wants to go to Paris, and she wants somebody to
go with, and he can't afford the plane ticket. So
you know, she's sugar mama. So uh yeah, there's plenty

(01:19:53):
of guys that are comfortable doing that. So yes, it
works both ways. I mean, I guess we have moved
into to an area of relationships where there's a lot
of arrangements. They've become more popular over the last decade
or half a decade, I should say, But but arrangements
are a lot more popular than they used to be.
So for us that really do value relationships, And I

(01:20:16):
know you guys love your wife so much, you guys,
I think it's amazing how sweet your relationships are with
your wife and how often you talk about them and
tell stories, and it's amazing and you still value them.
But people just aren't valuing relationships like they used to.
And it makes me sad. I mean not to say
that there aren't people that still are that still do,
but we're, you know, we're we are moving into a

(01:20:39):
society of Okay, the arrangement's okay, I'm getting what I want,
You're getting what you want. It's fine.

Speaker 2 (01:20:46):
Why is that?

Speaker 1 (01:20:47):
Is it just overall materialism? Is it social? Is this
social media thing? Or are we going to blame that? Like, like,
what is that? Why don't people want real relationships?

Speaker 3 (01:20:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:20:58):
You know, I think that. I think I think that
a lot of people have given up on love. We've
seen you know, people overdoing it on the dating apps,
getting burned out, not finding the right person, not thinking
the right person exists, so just settling for an arrangement
that something that makes them feel good, so they don't
they kind of take all their expectations off the table

(01:21:21):
because they've learned that they they or they learned that
they weren't going to get them met even though they
still could get met. They're just not looking in the
right place. But I think online dating has really done that.
And then of course the online dating is done to
social media has done to society and made people think
that everything's so easy to get and there's ten more

(01:21:41):
around the corner, so people don't value what they have,
you know, talk hard, say about it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
Yeah, grass is always greener, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:21:51):
Yeah, well I do think I've always said this. I
think social media has done that. The Internet has done that.
You know, in the fifties, you know, most of the
time you were gonna you know, date and marry someone
within your county because you didn't see all these Instagram
models rolling all over Facebook and stuff. But but now,

(01:22:11):
like you, if you go to a city, you know,
if you go to Nashville and you'll look in your
in your Instagram, you will see like, you know, Hollywood
looking girls running around in Nashville, Like, well, hell I
can get one of these too.

Speaker 2 (01:22:24):
This has got to be easy.

Speaker 1 (01:22:25):
And of course they got twelve filters on and all
that sort of thing, so you you pass up the
thing that's actually good and keep chasing the thing that
isn't actually real one hundred percent.

Speaker 11 (01:22:37):
One hundred percent. Yeah, and so much of so much
of what people put on social media or accounts as
a persona, it's not who they are and yeah, it's
it's definitely gotten a lot harder. I don't want people
that are listening to your show to lose hope, though,
because there really are still a lot of good people
out there still looking for the right thing. There are,

(01:23:00):
uh they're just a little harder to find because they're
not on the dating apps and they're not you know,
blanching it on social media. So you just have to
look in different places, and you know, and look harder.

Speaker 5 (01:23:11):
All right with that, Jen, we will let you go.
People want to find out more about it, what it
is you do?
