The John Kobylt Show Hour 3 (10/23) - Tim Conway Jr. fills in for John. Caleb Lindsey, Director of Operations for R+L Carriers SoCal, highlighted the company’s impressive new Bloomington Service Center, one of 13 California hubs. The state-of-the-art terminal features 325 dock doors and a 350% increase in door capacity over the previous location, plus a multi-bay maintenance shop—a major boost to the company’s Southern California freight operations. Crime continues to surge in Arcadia, where a jewelry store heist saw burglars tunnel through a wall to loot valuables, followed by a home invasion where armed intruders tied up victims, stealing both jewelry and a car. In West Hollywood, a Rolex thief picked the wrong target—his victim turned out to be a professional fighter, who tackled and subdued him on the spot. The NBA gambling scandal deepened as U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. condemned the alleged mob-linked insider betting ring involving Rozier and Jones, calling it “one of the most brazen sports corruption schemes since the legalization of online betting.” Officials say the operation manipulated confidential NBA player information to rig wagers and rake in millions. Angel checked in with Thursday’s traffic hotspots, while national headlines included a massive egg recall—over 6 million eggs pulled due to Salmonella risk—and methane gas leak evacuations on the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach. Rounding out the hour, Toys “R” Us announced a nostalgic comeback with 30 new stores opening nationwide just in time for the holidays.

And then the big story here is the Los Angeles Dodgers.

(00:53):
They are going to start tomorrow. They are four wins
away from their next World Series, and if they do
win the World Series, I think the trophy is being
shipped back by RNL carriers. Maybe maybe not, who knows.
All right, let's talk to Caleb Lindsay is with us.
He's actually with RNL Carriers, and one to have you

(01:15):
in for a couple of reasons.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
One is I grew up my dad grew up in Ohio.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
He grew up outside of Cleveland, Ohio, in a small
place called Sugar and Falls, Ohio. And then I enjoyed
my grandparents in that part of Ohio so much. I
went to Bowling Green State University in Ohio. And every
other truck you see on the freeway in Ohio is
RNL Carriers. Welcome to the show. Nice to see you man,
have you talk right in the mic there? Nice to

(01:42):
see you, buddy.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Thank you. I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
RNL started in Ohio, isn't that right?

Speaker 5 (01:47):
Yes, sir, nineteen sixty five, our original founder started it
with just a moving truck, and him and his wife
started it out and it loomed from there.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Is it bigger now than just him and his wife
just a little bit?

Speaker 3 (02:04):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 5 (02:05):
I think we went from one truck in nineteen sixty
five to over twenty one thousand employees with fourteen thousand trucks.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Now we want to welcome you to California. You've been
here for a while, but you guys have just put
together the biggest center or biggest you know what do
they call it a facility in southern California.

Speaker 5 (02:30):
It's huge out in the Inland Empire. Yeah, we call
them terminals or service centers. We just massive, massive, Yeah, yeah, definitely.
We're real fortunate. We came from a smaller terminal in
Fontana and was able to get a terminal in Bloomington, California,
and we went to a small five acre, seventy door

(02:51):
terminal to a three hundred and twenty five door, sixty
acre facility. Yeah, with three hundred and fifty percent door
capacity from where we were before.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
That's huge.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Now you guys, you don't just do the United States.
You're worldwide.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Oh yes, sir.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Yeah, and you guys have containers going back and forth
from China all the time.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yes, sir, we do all that.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
We do that, and then we also do truckload, you know,
just like one big volume shipment to wherever it needs
to go, so we cover the Gamuta freight.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
I was a big when when I was younger, When
I was ten years old, I wanted a CB for
my birthday because I used to love talking to truck drivers.
I was an odd child. I used to love talking
to truck drivers. We lived in Encino at the time,
and I could pick them up in Calabasses and talk
to them until they got to about Glendale and I'd
lose them. And I literally would be up until two

(03:41):
am as a nine or ten year old talking to
truck drivers, you know, all night. And I always thought like,
that's something I wanted to do, you know, get my
own truck with my own cab, a sleeper cab and
be on the road alone. That was like a fantasy
of mine when I was a kid, and I still
love that that action. You know, those guys that are

(04:04):
you know, guys and gals that are driving those trucks,
they're the real heart and soul of America. This country
shuts down without those guys.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yeah, definitely agree, you know what I mean, They're the
ones that keep America moving, you know, that's right.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
And if you bought it, a truck brought it, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
Yeah, you know, especially like you said when you were
coming up, I'm sure the CW McCall, CD, the UST.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Or Yeah, that's right, that's right, it was, that's right.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
And yeah, boy you heard you know, come on truckers
all the.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Time, right, But I'd ask my dad, you know, I
asked him probably when he was eighty and you know
I was a little younger than that. I said, Dad,
when I was ten and I got a CB for
my birthday, I wanted to thank you for that.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
He goes, oh, yeah, you're welcome, no problem.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
I said, do you think it was odd that your
ten year old was talking to truck drivers till two
am every night? And you know what he said, Never
thought about it until just then. But it's a different time.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Yeah, you know, yeah, no, I I'm a third generation.

Speaker 5 (05:01):
My grandfather and his brothers drove, my dad and his
uncle and my uncle.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Is that right, yes, sir, So you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
I grew up in the truck yard, either polishing or
riding or sitting in the truck thinking. I drove a
thousand million miles one day, you know, by myself without
moving in the yard. So you know, that's kind of
the generation I came from.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
They're the greatest guys in the world. I'll tell you
a quick story about my wife was driving to Oregon.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
This is two years ago.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
It was the middle of summer one hundred and you know,
fifteen degrees outside of Reading, California, and she gets a
flat tire. I'm right after Shasta, so right between Shasta
and the Oregon border, and she's in the middle of nowhere.
You know, it's very flat. After you get out of Shasta,
it's very flat. And she pulls over and she calls me.
She's crying. The son's about to go down. She doesn't

(05:49):
know what to do. And a truck pulls over and
she goes, oh, she goes, this is it. I'm locking
the doors. Another truck pulls over. These two guys get
out and they fix her tire for nothing. They don't
want any cash, they don't want anything. They just saw
a woman by herself on the side of the road
with a flat tire. You get out, they fix her tire,
and they move on. That's that's what you get behind

(06:11):
the wheel nowadays, you know, with these guys.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah, definitely, you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (06:15):
There's still some of the guys out there that you know,
you see that always want to take care of people,
and they are, you know, the last American cowboys.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Now that's right, all right, so R and L Carriers
the website r l C right RLC dot com.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yes, sir, and and you guys expanding.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
You know here in southern California you have one hundred
would you say your employees were? How many employees right now?
We have a little over twenty one twenty one thousand.
But you're always looking for another guy?

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Oh yeah, definitely, definitely. What is it?

Speaker 2 (06:45):
What can a truck driver make nowadays?

Speaker 3 (06:47):
You know what?

Speaker 5 (06:48):
It just averages, you know, for the for the average
that we do. We try to be across the market,
so you know, you start off with your experience and
then we're on a three year tier, so you know,
we try to keep a competitive mark market and then
usually it starts out somewhere in the thirties and then
you work your way.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
Okay, do long haul drivers guys are going nationwide? Are
they making more money than local guys?

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (07:10):
You know what, yeah, because they live in a truck
for five days a week. And the great part about
us is that you know, when you drive for US
and you drive team, usually are on the road for
five days and then you're home for two with your family.
Compared to somebody else that would just go out there
for you know, weeks or months at a time. So
you know, our fam our company is family based, family value.
You know, they want you to be home. But also

(07:31):
you know, you go into your job and then you know,
you get home and you enjoy your time.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Yeah, if I were doing it, I would like the
long haul just to see the country. You know, what
are the maximum hours now you can drive? It is
eleven hours of drive time, you know what I mean. Yeah,
that's what you get now, no matter what.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
That's the law.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
Eleven hours of drive time. And they keep track of
that pretty close. Oh yeah, oh that's a federal law. Yeah, yes, sir.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
Wow, all right, so eleven and you're done. You got it,
and you're done. And the elogs and everything they got.
It's all computerized.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
Now.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
It's not like back in the day when you probably could.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
Get away with a little more about like thirty probably
runs as much as you want to do back then,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Now it's right now.

Speaker 5 (08:11):
It's definitely regulated, and it's they oversee everything.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
I used to love watching the movies, you know, but
the you know the.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Truck driver movies.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
Duel was a great movie, right, and then you know
the convoy all those great you know, there's great songs
and and the bandit, yeah, smoking the bandit, right, yeah,
but you know that's like the last business where there's
real cowboys out there, and there's real guys out there,

Belt he'll be on tomorrow one pm.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
All right, let's talk about crime in southern California.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
It every single night, every time he turned the news on.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
There's another store, jewelry store, there's another apartment, there's another
home being invaded, and in this case it's Arcadia out
near Santa Nita, and a couple of guys came in,
robbed the house of everything, everything, this couple.

Speaker 7 (10:31):
Of I'm out of Arcadia. The search is on for
four people who broke into a home and tied up
two people at gun and knife point. Police say the
suspects stole jewelry and one of the cars belonging to
the victims. It happened today on Foothill near the Hastings
Ranch Plaza. The victims were eventually able to free themselves
and they had minor injuries.

Speaker 8 (10:51):
The car was found later in Wesley, Okay.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
That's in Arcadia. Arcadia's had two robberies that have gotten
attention in the last week or so. There's a jewelry
store where they came in and robbed it and took
over a half million dollars worth of merchandise.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
And the.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
Couple that owned the jewelry store only had ten thousand
dollars worth of insurance. So you can do the quick
math and you're right, they're out four hundred and ninety
thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
It was an older couple.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
They don't have time to, you know, to reinvent themselves
and start a new business. Their entire retirement is gone,
and so the lifestyle that they were used to is
not going is going to change. Radically, and it happens
every night in southern California, and a lot of people,

(11:47):
you know, you talk to different you know, cops or chiefs,
and they'll tell you that, oh, crime is down and
murders are down. It just doesn't seem like it. It
might be that I think a lot less people are
reporting crime. Here's another one in West Hollywood. This guy
tries to steal a dude's Rolex watch and he picked

(12:08):
the wrong guy. This guy is a professional fighter.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Now.

Speaker 9 (12:12):
That man was walking down Sweetser Avenue with his girlfriend
in West Hollywood when someone jumped out of a car
with a gun and targeted his rolex. But the gunman
didn't get away with anything. In fact, he was beat
up and the scuffle was caught on camera.

Speaker 10 (12:28):
And I'm not sure, but something's gone. Please come.

Speaker 9 (12:31):
Surveillance cameras captured the chaotic scene in West Hollywood as
a neighbor frantically called nine one one after witnesses say
an armed man tried to steal someone's rolex.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
Look, I don't know who's wearing rolexes nowadays. You know
you're wearing a watch. It's worth twenty thirty two hundred
thousand dollars and you're casually walking around knowing that people
are targeting you for that. Who's wearing ear rings? Diamond
earrings or diamond necklace or rolex?

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Who's doing that? You know, you hear the stories.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
They're on KFI every day, they're on your local news,
you can google it. They're after these expensive pieces of jewelry.
So who's who's continuing to wear that?

Speaker 11 (13:15):
It?

Speaker 12 (13:15):
I mean, it just sucks, I know, but people can't
wear what they want. They have to be worried constantly.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Do you do?

Speaker 4 (13:22):
You have to be and that's just it's not a
way to live. You're right, But until we get this crime,
you know, situated, until we knock this crime down, which.

Speaker 12 (13:31):
It's never going to happen. I don't think it's ever
going to happen. I don't think crime is ever going
to get better.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
And I feel for you.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
That's Deborah Mark, because you live in do do you
tell people.

Speaker 8 (13:41):
Where you live in the West San Fernando, Okay, West.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
San Fernando Valley. They there's a lot of homes being
targeted out there.

Speaker 12 (13:47):
I know, it's crazy, and same with businesses.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Does that flip out your neighbors.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
It flips out all of us.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah yeah, so.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
Now you have to worry about getting robbed. And you
and I share this fear earthquakes.

Speaker 12 (13:59):
Oh god, I worry every day tim about earthquakes.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
I wake up every morning thinking this is going to
be the day. You really do every day every day,
And sometimes I've got to talk myself out of it,
like I'll be like, Okay, it's going to happen in
five minutes. It's going to happen right now. It's gonna
happ right in And I got to go, hey, you
got to talk yourself out of this. You got to
stop doing this.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
But you know, I was.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
I was in bed the other day and I have
like five of these, you know, earthquake alerts.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
I have these apps, and it went off. You know
it's a.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
Duck cover roll duck cover. Yeah, it was a week ago.
It was last Friday. Take cover, take cover, take cover.
It was a drill. Yeah, it was an effing drill.
So I've taken all of those things off my phone
because that's what's going to give me the heart.

Speaker 12 (14:45):
Attell you, oh, no, you have to put you have
to put one back.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
No, I would rather not know you know, because I'm
sure you're loaded up with these things.

Speaker 12 (14:53):
I have one that works, and I forgot which one
it is, but it's the one that when there's an earthquake,
I get a two second warning.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
I've taken all of them off my phone. I'd rather
not know, because look, you when you get that alert,
what do you do?

Speaker 2 (15:07):
You panic? I do, yeah, you go crazy.

Speaker 12 (15:09):
I grab my dogs, honestly, because it's usually when I'm
in bed when I get that, right, I grab my dogs.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
Yeah, and then nothing happens, you know, a little bit
of shaking.

Speaker 8 (15:18):
Maybe you know we're due, man, We're due.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
Yeah, And this is what who's the lady the Lucy Jones?
Lucy Jones told us this. I thought, it's pretty good.
It's not gonna help you or me, but it's pretty good.
When the big one hits, nobody will utter the words, hey,
is this the big one will know? Yeah, it's going
to be one hundred and twenty seconds of the most

(15:43):
radical shaking you've ever had.

Speaker 12 (15:44):
Let's just not put that out there. I didn't realize
you were as paranoid.

Speaker 8 (15:50):
As ion I.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
After the Northridge quake, I slept with my shoes and
socks and my jeans on for six months. I believe you,
six months, every single night. Not a chick magnet.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
You know.

Speaker 12 (16:04):
It's like, hey, you're going to be so sexy, but
you know what, it's still smart.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (16:08):
I have five slippers, five peers.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
I bet you have a flashlight too. I do, Yeah,
I do too. I got nine of them right next
to the bed. I'm ready to a roll.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
All right.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
Well, when we come back, we'll talk a little more
about the crime. We've got the Dodgers playing tomorrow. That's
big news. And this NBA investigation, this is blowing up
and it's the worst nightmare for the National Basketball Association,
absolute worst. We'll get the latest on that as well.
It's Conway Show sitting in for John Colevelt. He'll be
back tomorrow one o'clock. I'll be on till four fifteen

(16:38):
and then the Chargers play the Minnesota Vikings.

Speaker 2 (16:41):

He hates vacationing for two weeks and he's going to

Tomart one PM right here on KFI. There's another story

(17:10):
we didn't get to this, The role X Guy. So
a guy is buzzing around West Hollywood and he's got
a very expensive Rolex on The guy tries to rob
him with a gun and turns out the guy with
the rolex a rolex is also a professional fighter. Wrong dude,
to try to take the rolex from.

Speaker 10 (17:31):
Someone's got a gun. Someone pulled it on someone. Someone
shout to tackle a nice lady. It's happened in front
of my house.

Speaker 9 (17:35):
The target turned out to be a retired professional fighter
who was out for a walk with his girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Ah, what are the odds of that?

Speaker 4 (17:43):
You know, your first solo grab where you're gonna go
grab somebody's Rolex and bang, turns out to be a professional,
a professional fighter in West Hollywood.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
What are the odds of that?

Speaker 4 (17:55):
To have a professional fighter on the streets of West Hollywood.
You go to rob him and he kicks the crap
out of you.

Speaker 9 (18:01):
That retired fighter didn't want to show his face, but
he spoke exclusively with NBC.

Speaker 13 (18:05):
Four small black sedan pull up guys jumped out with
a gun, came out me and attacked me. I was
able to disarm and take the gun from him. I
had him pinned down. He was trying to get up.

Speaker 7 (18:15):
No wait, let him go.

Speaker 10 (18:16):
And the gun was loaded.

Speaker 13 (18:17):
Sun was loaded when they pulled it when they pulled
the chair back, when popped out of the shavers.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
So wow, that guy was ready to roll. That guy
was ready to shoot that gun.

Speaker 13 (18:24):
It was ready to go.

Speaker 10 (18:25):
His girlfriend quickly jumped into help. You saw his gun too.

Speaker 14 (18:29):
I'm knowing that when the gun felt, when the gun
was wrestled to the ground, I'm the one that went
and grabbed it and picked it up and.

Speaker 15 (18:35):
Threw it over the apartment fence.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Okay, all right, woman got involved too. That was cool.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
It's a nice girlfriend or wife. I don't know how
my wife would react in that case. Maybe she would have,
you know, teamed up with the guy trying to steal Rolex,
and I would have my ass kicked by both of them.

Speaker 9 (18:51):
LA County Sheriff's deputies responded and took the gunman into custody.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
Now I wonder how long he's going to be in custody?
Will he stay in jail?

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Will he bail out?

Speaker 4 (19:01):
Is there no bail? Is this guy gonna be on
the streets tomorrow? Who knows? LA's the odd odd?

Speaker 10 (19:07):
But the getaway driver took off.

Speaker 9 (19:09):
This incident on Sweetsir Avenue in West Hollywood happened less
than two weeks after a similar story a half mile away.

Speaker 10 (19:15):
On October tenth, three men dressed.

Speaker 9 (19:18):
In all black hopped out of a car on Hacienda Place,
then stole a Rolex wedding ring and phone from Abram Cortez,
who was visiting from San Francisco.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
Ah, what a break for that guy. Huh down here
from San Francisco to enjoy the sights, get a little
R and R and then bang La hits you?

Speaker 2 (19:37):
And man, does la hit you hard?

Speaker 15 (19:39):
I turned around.

Speaker 5 (19:40):
I saw three guys, two of them with guns and
one with a crowbar backed up.

Speaker 11 (19:44):
I threw my keys down and I started giving them
my things.

Speaker 9 (19:48):
It is unknown if these two incidents are related. Still,
the news has neighbors concerned. For someone to be robbed
at gunpoint at one pm in daylight on a Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, that's the becoming very brazen.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
It is.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
There is no place where you feel safe anymore.

Speaker 10 (20:04):
In la is freaky and very scary. What is your
message to the community.

Speaker 15 (20:09):
Stay vigilant and keep your head on a swivel.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Stay safe, be prepared.

Speaker 13 (20:13):
You know it's California makes it tough to carry a gun.
But you know, if everybody had a gun, this wouldn't happen.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
That's right. That's a great comment right there, and it's true.

Speaker 13 (20:21):
You know, if everybody had a gun, this wouldn't happen.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
If everybody had a gun, this wouldn't happen. That's one
hundred percent correct. There's a small town, it was featured
on sixty Minutes, I believe in Georgia, and it was
the law that everybody in that town had to be armed.
You had to go through classes, you had to buy
a gun, and you had to have it on you
at all times. The crime rate in that town zero zero.

Speaker 13 (20:46):
You know, if everybody had a gun, this wouldn't happen.

Speaker 9 (20:48):
And as I mentioned, deputies arrested one person. The getaway
driver took off. We are working to get you a
good description of the getaway car and the people in it.

Speaker 10 (20:58):
We don't have that just yet if.

Speaker 9 (21:00):
You have any information that may help investigators here, you're
asked to contact I don't La County Sheriff's Department. We're
live in West Sally with Tonight Time Alex Rosier, NBC
four New.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, and it's it is rough.

Speaker 4 (21:15):
People buy expensive homes and condos to try to stay
away from this stuff, but it doesn't. There doesn't seem
to be anywhere in LA that you feel safe nowhere.
And they've got they've got to get handle of this,
all right. We're live on Cafe. It's Conway Show in
for John Colebelt. He'll be on tomorrow one o'clock. We'll
be on till four to fifteen, and then the Chargers

(21:35):
take on the Minnesota Vikings. To be a good game.
The spread on the game is minus three and a
half for the Chargers, I believe, and Duke of Sports.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Has that line moved at all.

Speaker 16 (21:49):
I was actually just checking something. You brought it up
still Chargers minus three and a half. If you want
to bet the Vikings money line, you'll get it at
plus one fifty five, so that one hundred dollars you'll
win a hundred fifty five bucks.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
That's pretty good. That's pretty good, all right, enjoy the game.
It starts right here at four to fifteen on KFI.
It's Conway Show in for COLEVELT.

Speaker 6 (22:10):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.

Speaker 4 (22:16):
So four fifteen that's when the Chargers will play the
Minnesota Vikings. Conway is sitting in for John COLEVELT. And
that that familiar laugh is Michael Krozer is back with us.
Nice to see you, Bob. What are you here till
nine ten?

Speaker 13 (22:32):
Um?

Speaker 8 (22:34):
Four fifteen?

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Oh, that's that right. Everyone leaves the building a four fifteen.

Speaker 17 (22:37):
Yeah, pretty much play empties out and I think Eric's
gone for fifteen as well.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
All right, Eric Sklar, Yeah he's gone, Eric Sklar. I
asked Don McClain, who's with Petros right now? Bab boy,
missi American Pah took the Chevy to the Levy.

Speaker 8 (22:54):
But the Levey we must hate that song.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
Oh he's got it, yeah, he said that big problem
for the NBA. This these two stories that came out today.
Petro said it's a huge problem. Brad Garrett on a
scale one to ten called it an eleven, and the
Duke of Sports on a scale of one to ten
called it at twelve.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
This is a big I think.

Speaker 8 (23:13):
I think it has the potential for that. I think.

Speaker 17 (23:16):
I don't know if you've if you've brought it up
on the air or not, but the whole thing with
Rosier specifically, oh yeah, the fact that he didn't play
the rest of the year after he went out. It's
great that the implication of like maybe the NBA was
somehow trying it and knew about it and kept him
on ice just to kind of cover up. That to
me could be huge exactly like what you guys are saying.

Speaker 4 (23:35):
Right, because it's always the cover up that's even bigger,
you know, a bigger crime.

Speaker 8 (23:39):
Than the crime.

Speaker 4 (23:40):
Yeah, always, And so you know, and I'm sure that
the FBI is going to be taking a look at
that as well, you know, I mean, what did you
know and when did you know it?

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (23:51):
That big deal.

Speaker 16 (23:52):
FBI director Cash Hotel said this investigation is not over,
so they're they're looking into more stuff and there could
be more arrests, more players, more coaches, who knows, And we.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
Have some more information on it as well. If you're
just tuning in. The NBA is had they had a
ton of arrest today, and they're looking at two major stories.
One of them inside trading, inside moves, inside information, and
people gambling on games, and the other one is putting
together these fake poker games where people are cheated out

(24:25):
of what would you say, seven million dollars.

Speaker 16 (24:27):
Yeah, these illegal poker games that Chauncey Phillips was allegedly
involved in and Damon Jones, the former coach for the
Cleveland Cavaliers. Apparently these games have been going on reportedly
since twenty nineteen and victims have been taken for over
seven million dollars.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
And they were cheating. They were the cards that they
were using were marked, Yeah, cards were marked.

Speaker 16 (24:47):
They had special dealing machines, the tables had X ray capabilities,
they had hidden cameras in the chip trays.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
And when these guys lost money to these former NBA
players and they couldn't pay, the NBA players turned to
the mob.

Speaker 16 (25:04):
Well, yeah, so the Mob was running these games supposedly,
and the Mob was supposedly paying Chauncey Billups to be
the face for this game and like the bait to
get all of these other people to the game, being like, hey,
you can play at this poker game, and Chauncey Billups
will be their former NBA player, NBA champion, Hall of
Famer coach, blah blah blah. That was a way to

(25:24):
entice all of these gamblers to come to this illegal
poker game.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
That's a big drawn. And then the poker game.

Speaker 4 (25:29):
Was fixed, Oh god, and then the mob would go
out and collect the money. Yeah, all right, Well we'll
see there's more information. Let's find out the latest on
the big WNB I'm sorry, NBA scandal, not WNBA yet.
They haven't looked into them yet. That might be something
there as well. But NBA scandal, it's going on right now.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Federal investigators now say that lakerstar Lebron James is mentioned
in the indictment, however, is not directly involved in the case.
James is not accused of any wrongdoing. Agents say that
former Cleveland Cavaliers player Damon Jones got a before a
Lakers game in February twenty twenty three that a star
Lakers player would be sitting out, and player turned out
to be Lebron James, and Jones allegedly used that information

(26:09):
to tip off other betters. In addition to Jones, Portland
Trailblazer's head coach Chauncey Billops a Mighty heat Guard Terry
Rogier are among more than thirty people charged in the
illegal gambling scheme. It consists of insider sports betting as
well as rigged poker games, both allegedly backed by the mafia.

Speaker 11 (26:27):
The fraud is mind boggling. It's not hundreds of dollars.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
This is the head of the FBI.

Speaker 11 (26:31):
The fraud is mind boggling. It's not hundreds of dollars.
It's not thousands of dollars. It's not tens of thousands
of dollars. It's not even millions of dollars. We're talking
about tens of millions of dollars in fraud and theft
and robbery across a mall.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
I wish she had started with lower denominations here.

Speaker 11 (26:49):
The fraud is mind boggling. It's not hundreds of dollars.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
I wish she had start with.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
It's not pennies, it's not nickels, it's not times, it's
not quarters, it's not fifty cent pieces. It's not silver
dollar or a fiver.

Speaker 8 (27:01):
It didn't even kind of going down that road.

Speaker 4 (27:03):
It's not a ten, it's not a twenty dollars. It's
not a fifty, it's not one hundred. Man that guy
should have went.

Speaker 11 (27:08):
Hundreds of dollars. It's not thousands of dollars. It's not
tens of thousands of dollars. It's not even millions of dollars.
We're talking about tens of millions of dollars.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
I wish you would have said that first, because a
lot of people listening to KFI and watching the news
can put that together and theft.

Speaker 11 (27:25):
And robbery across a multi year investigation.

Speaker 18 (27:29):
My message to the defendants who've been rounded up today
is this, your winning streak has ended.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Your luck has run out.

Speaker 18 (27:36):
Violating the law is a losing proposition, and you can
bet on that. Federal prosecu say that six all that
bet on it, And you can bet on that federal
prosecutor say that six defendants or accused participate to get
a conspiracy that exploited confidential information about NBA athletes. Billips,

(27:56):
a former Clipper and NBA champion with the Detroit Pistons,
is in his fifth season as Portland's head coach.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
That's all.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Rosier currently is a guard for the Miami Heat, drafted
by the Boston Celtics in twenty fifteen.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Oh man, what a mess?

Speaker 4 (28:12):
All right, before we take a break here, the Duke
of Sports gets a bonus of fifty dollars if he
reaches a certain threshold in social media.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
So I do, yes, you do, Yes, you do. I
just saw the paperwork.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
So if you follow, it's the Duke of Sports, right
thchg Yes, the Duke of Sports on Twitter or Instagram.
He's got a lot of great hot takes on sports.
He's in three fantasy leagues in football. But if you
follow him, you don't have to check in with him
every day. But if you followed him the Duke of Sports,

(28:47):
he's going to get a little tiny bump. He's going
to get fifty dollars I think if he reaches the threshold.
So let's follow on Twitter and Instagram the Duke of Sports.

the fifty. Look what he's wearing. Look at this guy.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
Yeah, listen, please don't talk to that one.

on Saturday at Marongo. Everyone was into checking you out
and hanging with you and talking to you.

Speaker 20 (30:51):
Fun.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
Yeah, but Angel is the only one who ran literally
ran into a sing alert on the way to Moronco.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
How ironic, you know.

Speaker 19 (31:06):
It was that whole thing with the five through Penalton.
I was in San Diego earlier that day and I
hit the road as soon as I could and then
boom boom. It's like a three hour drive.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
But thanks for coming out. You always come out on
your own dime. You make a time to come out,
and we really appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
It was a blast.

Speaker 19 (31:27):
Thanks for having me.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Angel Martinez.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
All Right, maybe you love eggs like my wife, my daughter,
They love eggs. I don't really care form, but there's
a recall because six million of them might be contaminated.

Speaker 14 (31:41):
Six million eggs from black sheep and Ken's hens have
been recalled for this possible salamonella contamination.

Speaker 15 (31:47):
The FDA adding recalled.

Speaker 14 (31:49):
Products from the Black Sheep Egg Company were also sold
to retailers.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
What else do you expect from the Black Sheep Egg Company?

Speaker 14 (31:57):
Recalled products from the Black Sheep Egg Company we're also
sold to retailers and other wholesale companies in several states
including Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas between July ninth and September seventeenth,
twenty twenty five, where they may have been repackaged and distributed.

Speaker 15 (32:14):
To more states. Sell them noello symptoms.

Speaker 14 (32:16):
They typically start six hours to six days after swallowing
the bacteria. The most common are diarrhea, fever, and cramps.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
Ah, did you hear that your eggs could produce quite
an evening for you?

Speaker 15 (32:27):
Are diarrhea?

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (32:29):
Our diarrhea, fever, and cramps?

Speaker 4 (32:31):
You know I'm I have I'm lactose intolerance, so I
get that with normal eggs.

Speaker 15 (32:36):
Our diarrhea, fever, and cramps. According to the.

Speaker 14 (32:38):
CDC, if you have those recalled eggs, don't eat them.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Okay, wait, what's the rule?

Speaker 15 (32:44):
Don't eat them?

Speaker 3 (32:45):
All right?

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Don't eat them.

Speaker 14 (32:46):
Don't eat them, throw them out or return them for refund,
and be sure to sanitize any surfaces. As for what
this means for egg prices. I spoke to a number
of analysts. They believe it's likely to be much more
muted than what we witness with the bird flu.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
Yeah, eggs are cheap at Walmart the other day. I
think it was like two eighty five a dozen. They've
really come down. Eggs are like dirt cheap now.

Speaker 14 (33:08):
Because of the size of this recall six million eggs
versus many tens of millions, and because this is a
problem with the eggs and not the chickens themselves, some
great expectations there are not.

Speaker 8 (33:21):
The chickens themselves. Where did the eggs.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Come from them? What's going on there?

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (33:25):
How do they get contaminated afterwards?

Speaker 3 (33:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
I don't know. Yeah, diarrhea, what were the other symptoms?
There's a diarrhea and.

Speaker 15 (33:37):
Donate them, throw them out a return.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
That's good here if you have yeah, yeah, no, you're
right angels one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
Right.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Diarrhea is hereditary. I don't know if you know that.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
Yeah, but if your mom and dad had you know,
bad vibes with eggs die. Diarrhea is hereditary. I know that, yeah,
because it runs in your gene whatever it works three
minutes it works on the four to seven show, So

(34:10):
it doesn't work here.

Speaker 13 (34:11):
It is.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
It's an extended version of the One o'clock Show, extended
version the dance version of the one o'clock program. We
have time for this, Okay, breaking in Newport. We've got
a lot of people live listened down in Newport Beach.
Bad vibes in Newport in Balbo Island.

Speaker 20 (34:31):
Seeing the location here, it's Marcus Avenue on thirty sixth
Street and the Balboa Peninsula of Newport Beach.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
Now they're talking about methane gas.

Speaker 20 (34:39):
Sometime yesterday so methane gas was detected in the area
and evacuations were ordered for a number of homes here
along Marcus Avenue near thirty sixth Street. The officials are
saying that this is all caused from a possible oil
intrusion from an abandoned private well underneath the property. So

(34:59):
again for public safety, they have evacuated many homes. Methic gas,
you know, can be toxic if it hailed in large quantities,
and is also considered flammable if ignited under particular conditions.
So again public safety, local emergency here and Balboa Peninsula.
We can see the fire department here.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
Okay, so Balboa bad vibes. They've got methane gas. Let's
sneak this in real quick. I love Toys r Ours.
