Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode. I tell you, hey, Dubbs in
layman's terms, what's going on with this gambling bit? Dude?
People are just literally out of the Yeah, they're like
heading to the court ready to play basketball and they're
getting yanked off to jail. What's up? Yeah? One of
them is an old timberwolf.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah, Chauncey Billups. He is the coach for the Portland Trailblazers.
After the game on Wednesday, FBI rested them because he
was involved in illegal gambling. It was a poker ring
with a mafia crime family, and I.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Mean he really got into it right. Yes, he was
part of the X Ray table, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah, So he was what they consider a face card,
so he would bring in celebrities or other players to
play in these poker games where the people that they
brought in would lose money because they have X ray
machines built into the tables to read face down cards.
They have contact lenses and glasses that read pre marked cards,
and then secret camera secret cameras in like the card shufflers.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Whoo.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
So basically a question everything, yeah, oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
And then there was another player that got caught one
of the crime families. Like for sports betting, he gave
them intel or he'd be like, hey, so their props
if he would get twenty points in the game or
four rebounds, five assists. Yeah, Terry Rogier, he said, bet
my unders because I'm going to go out of the
game tonight early.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
They bet like two hundred thousand dollars on it, and
they would literally count the money after the game on
his kitchen table.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, he would fake an injury. Yeah, he can take
the cash.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
And I've bet on that guy before and I'm mad
I bet over that.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
They rushed thirty Yeah, thirty people. Yeah, who knows how
many more? I suppose, right, I mean because people are
going to talk and get more people involved. I imagine. Yeah,
how did it work with Chauncey Billups? How did that work?
So it wasn't at a casino, right, they would be
like somebody They went.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
To somebody's house or some like secret spot somewhere and
he would be like, hey, come with me, We're gonna
play some poker at whoever.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Blah blahs house in a private setting. But they had
an X ray machine in the table underneath, and it
could see the cards. Yep, that is unreal.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I swear we're in a movie. We're back in the
nineteen twenties. We got a major jewel heighs happening at
the Louver or wherever it was.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And then we got this in the nineteen twenties, though
they didn't have the glasses and the contact lenses to
quite scan the cards for you.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I know, but you got mafia crime families and sports scandals.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
M jeez, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
He knows because he's Chicago. Guys. Sorry, that's why we
am Chicago. They grow. Yeah, he's from He's from Kirk County, right,
that's what we call it, back County.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Didn't a lot of these mafia crime families like seek
shelter in Minnesota or something in Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Capone would come up here.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah, yeah, I have like secret places that they would
stay here.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
My wife's family used to make the hoots for the capons.
I think it was the phones back in the Dayah. Really,
what was the name of that whiskey? Is it twenty
one whiskey something? Nineteen? I CA it was a number.
My wife's mom knows all about it, and they were Yeah,
I don't think they knew though. I think they're just like, oh, yeah,
we're making a whisky. One discuss your light suit down
(03:13):
to Chicago. Were stripping a bunch down to him? Was
during Trombition.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Wow, that's awesome. I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
All it depends on how you look at it.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Sure, that's super cool.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, yeah, it's a real breaker.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
They're making whiskey during prohibition.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I think so the way I understood it. And I
hope I'm not speaking out of turn because I don't
want to be hauled out of here myself.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Yeah, haul you out. Happen during Prohibition. That had nothing
to do with you. You didn't do it, well.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I know, but they don't know that, you know what
I mean? They can ask you much a question.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Were you alive during Prohibition?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Was it? When? Was that the nineteen twenties? Let's see,
I was pretty close.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
You weren't You were in high school? My buddy his
house had a tunnel that ran like they bricked it over,
but it was one of like the tunnels that ran
to the bar.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Your buddy in high schools around in the nineteen twenties.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
The house that he lived, Oh.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Why didn't he take down that brick wall.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, I was like, why are we breaking this down
and checking it out?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Maybe, like I guess, put up a door on a
lock on it, I guess. But if you have a
tunnel that leads you straight to the bar and straight home,
are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Maybe you don't want to find out what's on the
other side of that tunnel now, but I do. There
could be some people waiting for you over there have
been waiting around since the nineteen twenty. They're hungry, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Cannibals living at.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Something from Chicago, aren't they. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
There's there's videos that pop up sometimes on TikTok or
anywhere online where people discover tunnels under their house like that,
and they start exploring.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
And it's weird. I get really into that stuff though.
I think it's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Do you think it's real all of them?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I mean, who knows.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
I'm sure there's some that are fake, but some of
them seem super super legit. There'll be the people who
like bought a house or something, or they're doing some
yard work and then they're like, what is this door
in the ground that we've never noticed before?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
That's what makes me suspect a little bit. I don't
know people have had home inspections sin it's like, oh,
do you know you have you know, I mean you
think they'd figured that out. Those people are really good.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
If it's like a home inspection, yeah, but if there's
something like I don't know out.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
In the yard that's some bushes or something.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah, like one hundred yards away from the house and
it's buried under a bunch of brush and stuff. Yeah,
especially in Europe, because they'd have tunnels that were a
little like bomb shelters that would connect houses in the
neighborhood to each other.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Which is really scary.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
I don't think I would want to have a house
that had tunnels connecting me to other houses around.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, that's really really weird.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
That would know if I buy anything anymore. AI and
the videos and stuff are so convincing. Now they have
been for years be able to put stuff together, but now,
I mean it was kind of convincing. I should say
years ago, I would catch your eye then you catch
the fake. But now it's I mean it's pretty dialed in.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
It is hard, you know, Yeah, But imagine being a
little kid like Lena or like my baby. They're going
to grow up in this world where AI is already
so smart and it's so convincing to us, and we've
watch this progression happened. That's their only reality. They only
are going to know a world where AI is that smart,
and it's only going to get smarter. So nothing's gonna
(06:08):
feel real. And I think that, and I hope that
there's going to be some kind of shift where I
don't know, where people are going to really demand some
kind of proof that things are legitimate and oh get it.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I don't know how. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Maybe maybe people start not being as not being online
as much.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Maybe yeah, oh, they'll just come completely off the grid.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Kind of like a full yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Maybe, I mean, because you already see parents trying to
like avoid putting their kids' faces on social media sometimes
and things like that to at least give the kid
a choice.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
But I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I just wonder sometimes if it'll actually circle around where
they're like, this is nothing's real.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I don't want to be here.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Somebody sent me something there was it a week or
two ago of dubs that I'm making out, and I'm like,
I don't think that happened. I don't remember it, do you?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Very convincing? Oh is that you?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
That was real?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Oh that was real? Yeah? Why did that happen? Yeah?
How drunk? Kuse? I want to remember that looked very passionate.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Don't you guys worry about it? Just don't don't think
about it. When I give you a cup of water
in the morning, don't think about it.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
That's what it was.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
It makes sense.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Starting to come back was on a Tom Cruise movie.
There it's okay, No, it's not really.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I shouldn't joke like that.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
You guys promise I think we know it. Would would
put it for you to do it, just to do it,
not for any intent, just like hear right?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Watch them pass out fakefully the UBG crowd gets that.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Take some pictures, drink this Cosby cocktail.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, I don't have to worry about you guys.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Well, Steph, your face is so grizzly. I love it. Bear.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Guys can nuzzle your beards together. Although Doves doesn't have
a beard today, No trimmed it. You shaved it off.
Speaker 1 (07:53):

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
