00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:22.920
spider Man's Control are good morning.
Seven thirty four Tuesday, March twenty

4
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:27.000
sixth is the date you're listening to
your friendly neighborhood down Beat. It's Covin

5
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:31.199
turned anybod else. Mike's Roy JJ
Jackson is here with us, holding our

6
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:34.119
hand. Thanks for listening, Thanks
for I don't know, being a part

7
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.439
of our little party in the mornings
and all day long until six pm.

8
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:41.840
Live programming on ninety seven to one
The Freak, Mavericks Basketball Tonight, after

9
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:46.920
things on the live mics get done, don't miss dingusborning news coming up at

10
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.840
eight thirty. That's an hour from
now. But at eight o'clock we have

11
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:55.520
a look, I suppose, into
the excitement of opening Day, which is

12
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.920
right around the corner for your World
Series champion Texas Rangers. All the food

13
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:04.280
stuffs have been announced, all the
wild foods they got out the ballpark.

14
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.359
Every radio station in DFW is talking
about the foods, and we're gonna do

15
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:12.319
that. We're gonna go through what
the foods are. But then we actually

16
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.439
we're supposed to have this. I
have a list of the rejected food items

17
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:25.959
that the Rangers apparently considered and decided
not to serve at a Globe Life field

18
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:34.239
this season. Now we're blowing the
whistle. Shocking, very shocking. I'm

19
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.000
learning that they've reconsidered a number of
these items and they might be offering them

20
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:44.159
as off menu selections, way off
menu. For some of these. You

21
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:47.920
have to really be in the know
and know the secret handshake to obtain these

22
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:56.920
morsels of goodness generally a pretty safe
close to the vest organization that this world's

23
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.959
serious title has got into their head
or what because some of the things that

24
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:07.240
were voted down. Yeah, just
to pre pre reiterate, pree, these

25
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.840
are not going to be served at
Ranger games this season. That's all we're

26
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.240
saying. Yeah, I don't even
know if we should say they were considering

27
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.520
these, they did, they didn't. But do not miss eight o'clock when

28
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.360
we talk about some rejected food stuffs
that will not be available at Major League

29
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.800
at our major League park here in
Arlington. That's coming up in just about

30
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:31.120
twenty minutes. But right now it's
time for Kevin Turner in the scuttle Button.

31
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:42.400
All right, brought you by advanced
hair restoration. Yeah, we'll get

32
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:46.520
to the p Diddy story at eight
thirty in Dingu's Morning News. He was

33
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.879
investigated or he was raided two of
us. Oh, it isn't even said

34
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.520
that he owned the houses. Houses
that he was in connection with, one

35
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.680
in Miami, one in LA were
raided yesterday. More on that at eight

36
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:04.240
thirty in Dingu's More News. The
big story on the Globe is this Baltimore

37
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:08.240
Bridge collapse. The Francis Scott Key
Bridge, which was built in nineteen seventy

38
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:14.159
well started construction in nineteen seventy two, was finished in nineteen seventy seven.

39
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:20.560
It was hit around twelve thirty Central
last night by a huge ship called Dolly.

40
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:28.039
This was a cargo ship from Singapore. The Dolly lost propulsion as it

41
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.759
was leaving the port, and then
they did warn Maryland officials of a possible

42
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:39.080
collision, so they were seeing delights
on That is that they got ahead of

43
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:43.080
the fact that they were going to
hit that bridge, which that means they

44
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.800
did the right things there and that
might help explain why the search is on

45
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:52.919
for seven people. We were told
that construction workers were on the bridge at

46
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:58.400
the time of the collision, which, again, just talking about this doesn't

47
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.599
do it justice. You do need
to see video of the bridge hitting I

48
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:08.080
mean of the ship hitting the bridge
and seeing the full collapse. This is

49
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:13.800
over a part of six ninety five
in Baltimore over water, and it is

50
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.079
a big This is big on big. The ship is nine hundred and eighty

51
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:23.160
four foot cargo ship. Just close
your eyes and think of those big shipping

52
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.600
container ships, and this is about
as I don't know, I think,

53
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.040
as big as they get. Yeah, when you're talking over three football fields

54
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:33.120
in length, absolutely packed as high
as it can be packed with shipping containers.

55
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:40.120
Yeah, the scope of this thing
cannot be fully grasped just by looking

56
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:46.279
at the video on your TV.
You're talking about three football fields long of

57
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.600
a ship. Yeah, I was
just watching it. It looks like a

58
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:55.720
tiny boat when you just watch it
on TV. It doesn't look all that

59
00:04:55.959 --> 00:05:00.480
violent. But the nearly immediate collapse
of I don't know, maybe a quarter

60
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.160
mile length of bridge in the middle
is quick and violent. I was just

61
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:10.959
watching an angle I suppose that I
hadn't seen yet, and it was sort

62
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.959
of a time lapse for a full
minute prior to the boat hitting. It

63
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:18.240
shows the boat their lights flickering and
sort of veering off course toward one of

64
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:24.839
these support beams of the bridge,
and you could see a fair amount of

65
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:30.879
traffic passing over the bridge. You're
just watching traffic go by, and this

66
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.879
is as amateur reporting as you can
get. But right about when it does

67
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.959
hit, there is a what appears
to be a gap in the traffic.

68
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.199
I don't know how lucky you know
I mean this is, but I mean

69
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:51.079
I saw trucks, maybe four cars
at a time going over the bridge that

70
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:56.959
collapsed moments later, but the instant
that it hits, I didn't see any

71
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.480
cars right above it. And then
I looked to the right portion where the

72
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.480
traffic would be coming from, and
I didn't see any any other vehicles.

73
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:09.199
I don't I mean, relatively speaking, they may have gotten a little lucky

74
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:14.800
on the amount of traffic that was
on top of the bridge in that exact

75
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:19.800
moment. But terrifying nevertheless, and
there were confirmed construction workers working on that

76
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:25.360
portion of the bridge that we're not
in moving vehicle. Just brutal, terrible

77
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.639
story. It's got you know,
people are finding out. If you're waking

78
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:31.720
up this morning and you see the
video, you'll you kind of know it's

79
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.839
a wild thing to wake up to
a bridge collapsing. Also, what's going

80
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:40.759
to effect here? And it's looked
again their search and rescue for seven people

81
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:45.079
right now as there, whether they
were in a vehicle not or whether they

82
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:49.199
were construction workers working on the street
that collapses. It's one hundred and eighty

83
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:54.759
five foot fall at the top at
the highest peak, probably the lowest,

84
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:58.399
I don't know, one hundred Yeah, you know, everything about it is

85
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.879
far bigger than it looks like on
the That bridge is bigger, it's taller,

86
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:05.000
the boat is bigger, the collision
was more violent. The scale is

87
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:10.040
nuts. How it can yeah,
you know, it can change your perception

88
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.879
of what it is. But when
you really can zoom in and see it,

89
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.040
you're like, oh, holy crap. This port supports one hundred and

90
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:20.399
forty thousand jobs. Thirteen straight years. This port has led the nation and

91
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:27.839
importing, exporting cars and light trucks. The port also supports the cruise industry,

92
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:30.319
so lots of cruise ships passed through
there as well. I mean,

93
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.399
this is going to be again,
I'm looking for seven people first, right,

94
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:38.560
but they're gonna shut that down.
It's going to affect the traffic and

95
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:44.079
it could have a little bit of
a supply chain effect for a little while.

96
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:47.079
I would imagine, and I don't
know people that live in Baltimore just

97
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.680
freaking out, like, hey,
drive over that every single day, good

98
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:55.279
Lord, And they gotta go around
wherever you're headed, and tunnels are going

99
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:59.439
to be crammed. This is one
person said, This is a person who

100
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:05.439
serves on a This sounds weird,
but Transportation subcommittee in Baltimore said, I

101
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.399
believe this will take a very very
long time to fix. God. Yeah,

102
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:15.480
I mean that's that's probably phase seven. Yeah, but it's that's one

103
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.040
of the more tangible, you know, issues that Baltimore's facing here is result

104
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.560
of this. But they're doing search
and rescue right now as a priority.

105
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.839
As Danny said earlier, they're using
sonar and infrared technologies as well as drones.

106
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:30.920
He said they have identified vehicles submerged
in the water, and the Governor

107
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.279
of Maryland has declared a state of
emergency following the collapse of the bridge.

108
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.879
Please say no all in on saving
and finding. But you know, with

109
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.440
the temperature of the water, which
is sub fifty degrees. You know they

110
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:46.399
are I don't think all that optimistic
that they're going to continue to find survivors.

111
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:52.960
I am reading here that the search
and rescue mission not only the temperatures

112
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:58.080
are a massive concern, but the
missions being complicated by rising tides. But

113
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:03.519
they said that they're going to continue
until divers determine they have reached the quote

114
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:11.039
non survivability point. Jeez. But
upwards of seven people are missing, two

115
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:16.519
have been rescued. One of them
is very seriously injured. Yeah, they

116
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:20.559
said one was uninjured and the other
one is hospitalized right now, very serious

117
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.080
condition. Boy. I bet the
one that is uninjured, we'll have a

118
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:31.039
story to tell. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Absolutely. Now. I

119
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.000
was going through kind of how time
does this happen in the United States.

120
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.519
I mean, there's been a few
in you know, over the nation going

121
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.000
back to the year two thousand.
Couple in the year here Port Isabel,

122
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:48.120
Texas in South Padre eight killed thirteen
survivors. Back in two thousand and one

123
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.279
on concrete bridge. It said four
loaded barges veered one hundred and seventy five

124
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.320
feet west and struck one of the
bridge supports causing a big collapse of the

125
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:05.080
bridge. I forty Bridge disaster and
Weber's Falls, Oklahoma, fourteen people were

126
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.759
killed. A barge struck one pier
of the bridge, causing a partial collapse.

127
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:13.240
That was two thousand and two.
There was one. There was another

128
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.120
big one that was I'm trying to
get through. Like we talked about the

129
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.919
one in Minnesota earlier, that was
two thousand and seven, and that one

130
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.080
killed over one hundred people, and
that one was a big Yeah, I'm

131
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.799
sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I light on that one that was

132
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.879
thirteen killed, that killed one hundred
and forty five people were hurt thirteen somehow

133
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:35.639
it was just thirteen. But that
was on I thirty five, And that

134
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.200
was that was not anything hitting it. That was just a total bridge failure

135
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.559
like that started or stories of people
driving and seeing just the road in front

136
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:48.120
of them start to shake, you
know, and collapse. You know.

137
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.360
Seven You can kind of keep going
through. You can find a few that

138
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.519
have happened, you know, in
the United States, but nothing in the

139
00:10:54.600 --> 00:11:00.000
recent history that I had seen,
you know, because it's a big story,

140
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:01.919
it would stick with you a little
bit too. But I haven't seen

141
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:07.519
anything, you know, crazy like
this in a long time. There was

142
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:11.399
one in Mexico a few years ago. So there's If there's anything that we

143
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.360
need to update you on with that, we will be sure to do that

144
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.000
right here, don't remind you.
Tonight Alamo draft House and the Cedars were

145

showing step Brothers. Uh seven dollars
tickets. Go to draft House dot com

146
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:26.559
for your tickets. Me, Mike

147
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:30.399
you're going to the movie tonight.
I actually won't be able to make it

148
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:37.200
nice. She's going to a real
movie that came out now from years ago.

149
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.679
Right, we're handled the two thousand
and eight viewing. Yeah, I'm

150
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:48.000
going to see Kong ca. Yeah, who's Kong fighting this year? They're

151
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.799
a teaming up fighting some I'm from
the ground on Long and Zilly or on

152
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:56.559
the team now teaming up Now Kong
and Godzilla are best friends. Yeah,

153
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.440
yeah, they put their fast they
all. So. Do people think they're

154
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:03.120
gonna fist bump at any point in
this movie? I hope? So that'd

155
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.799
be great. Why not, they're
already over the top. I heard there's

156
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:13.039
actually a very passionate sex scene in
this movie between a gorilla and a lizard.

157
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:18.879
Yep, Okay, well that's stupid, but I'm not going all in

158
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.559
that he's in correct, and I
won't look away. No, is Kong

159
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.879
Kong is a boy? Yeah right, it is Kong a boy. I

160
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:33.639
assume, yeah, it's king,
but they don't ever show it. I

161
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:39.480
don't think. Yeah, they can't
that in the budget the CGI. Now

162
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:41.480
the hair covers it up. What's
the deal with the gorilla is? You

163
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.039
can never see their wings? Would
you think when they get down? When

164
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.080
they get down, I think I
don't know how it appears. It bursts

165
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.559
through the pubic hairline. Ground.
I'm just saying, you see these male

166
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.720
gorillas running around the zoo, and
you would expect like a freaking elephant trunk

167
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.919
just warn what yes to and fro
and you never see that. Yeah,

168
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.120
let's get literally everyone else want to
answer that. He's a school teacher.

169
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:11.480
He probably knows that's the kids.
I've asked him that Usually our questions are

170
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.799
about a seventh grade level. It
will probably be the first topic that comes

171
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.600
up in the debate. Guys,
Actually, thanks for calling me. Actually

172
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.879
have something on this. I think
a lot of people are sick of the

173
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:26.279
old school nature of you know,
not knowing if gorillas have a penis or

174
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.759
not. But I mean, I'm
sure that the male gorilla has one.

175
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.600
You just would expect it to be
more pronounced and available. But if you're

176
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:37.320
tired of not knowing, here's another
option for you. Okay, let's do

177
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.000
some audio right here, JJ,
if you don't mind, I have Otani.

178
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:46.600
Yesterday Otani spoke. This is another
those sports stories that crosses over into

179
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:56.080
mainstream news because he spoke yesterday four
forty five press conference and he's got new

180
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:03.960
translator, just a guy named Will
next to him, and Otani speaks,

181
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.720
and then the translator writes it down
as if he didn't have the statement with

182
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:16.000
him, and I got two clips
here. Here is number one. So

183
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.960
I never bet on baseball any other
sports, or never have asked somebody to

184
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:26.399
do it on my behalf. And
I have never went through a bookmaker uh

185
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:31.720
to bet on sports. It has
been stealing money from my account and has

186
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:37.840
told lies. So I has been
telling everybody around that he that has been

187
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:43.320
communicating with shohe on all of this
account, and that hasn't been true.

188
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.840
Okay, here's the second part here. So up until that team meeting.

189
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.840
I didn't know that I pay had
a gambling addiction and was in debt.

190
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.720
I did not never agreed to pay
off the debt or you know, make

191
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.720
payments city bookmaker. And it was
revealed to me during that meaning that he

192
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:09.159
paid admitted that he was sending money
using my account to the bookmaker. Obviously

193
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.360
I was. It was an absurd
thing that was happening, and I've contacted

194
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.039
my representatives so you know, in
conclusion, I do want to make it

195
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:22.480
clear that I never bet on sports
or have woefully sent money to the bookmaker.

196
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:28.919
So no going back on things,
no taking up free pay nos all.

197
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.080
Basically, he did it and now
he pays. Probably looking at some

198
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:37.799
prison. That's likely how this is
going to go down, I would imagine,

199
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:41.840
because I thought he could maybe soft
pedal it if he wanted to take

200
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:48.759
up for his boy. But his
statement was pretty matter of factly, we're

201
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:52.480
gonna go with he did. He
did it, and then he took the

202
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.399
money, and I'm devastated by it, so he can burn in hell.

203
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.679
I've made my theory clear on this, and I don't I'm not wavering from

204
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.960
it. But the one thing I
didn't see this, but I talked to

205
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:07.559
my brother Cash yesterday and he saw
it, and he's like, Cash believed

206
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.600
him, he said, because he
wasn't like really using too many notes,

207
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:15.879
like he seemed to be talking very
from the heart about this. It's the

208
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:21.759
pursuit of legal action that makes you
kind of wonder, you know, like

209
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:27.320
if team Otani is really pursuing to
have this guy pay the you know,

210
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:33.240
go to jail essentially, which he
will. That's a convoluted thing with a

211
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.879
lot of evidence and a lot of
text messages, you know, and interactions

212
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:44.919
that they can certainly dig up.
I don't know if his quest for legal

213
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:48.639
justice is performative. Yeah, and
then behind the scenes it'll be you know,

214
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:53.000
charges have been dropped and Epay is
now back in his hometown in Japan,

215
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:57.120
and this whole thing just goes away. But assuming he does pursue it

216
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:02.440
thoroughly, then that does lead you
to think that there's a chance. O

217
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:06.680
Tawny truly didn't know anything about this
and didn't place any bets. But I

218
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:11.119
don't care who you are. If
your annual salaries five hundred thousand dollars and

219
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.680
that's what you're betting on a college
basketball game or some soccer match that that's

220
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:23.680
doesn't feel like a logical explanation for
when you work for someone who's making hundreds

221
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:27.759
of millions a dollar. The only
thing that would make this make sense for

222
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:33.400
his debt to be that big if
he was you said, he's making half

223
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.000
a million a year doing this,
Is that right? That's what Kevin said

224
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:38.720
a couple days ago when this first
broke that that was about his salary.

225
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:41.079
Yes, he was making three hundred
to five hundred. Let's say that he

226
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:47.200
had a real deep, hardcore gambling
addiction and you know, maxed out,

227
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:52.039
maxed out his means. You know, then you start getting into lines of

228
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:59.200
credit that a bookie might extend you
and then oh, I can't pay you

229
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:03.680
know what the the interest on something
like that is if they're if they're totaling

230
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:07.559
the note for you. You know, we watched The Gentleman on Netflix,

231
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:14.319
and we saw how a relatively you
know, manageable debt can get out of

232
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:19.559
hand with just that revolving interest that
just you know, a cruise daily and

233
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:22.039
you have these deadlines to pay it
off and the next thing you know,

234
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:25.920
you're in debt four million dollars.
It's like what this was like one hundred

235
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:29.799
thousand dollars. Bet bro, I
don't know, bookie, take a half

236
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:33.079
billion dollar bet when you know the
person is chasing. If they were betting

237
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:37.680
fifty five thousand to win fifty thousand, you know, and they are getting

238
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:38.799
a little hole, all right,
I'd like to bet two hundred and fifty

239
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:45.720
thousand. His connection to Otani might
have afforded him some a larger line of

240
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:49.599
credit than than that was outside of
his means by him telling you, oh,

241
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:53.079
my boy's got my back, you
know he's good for it. But

242
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:57.000
just think, I don't know,
if you're Otani, you actually allow financial

243
00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:03.799
access to any of your bank accounts. I mean, you know what level

244
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.680
of friendship and trust that has to
entail. And then you're gonna say we

245
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:12.240
have that level of relationship. But
I don't know that his life is on

246
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:17.799
the line because he's betting his entire
annual salary on one basketball game. It's

247
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.720
just not logical, No, it's
not. So we'll see the level of

248
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.200
pursuit that he has the you know, on the legal front. Uh,

249
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:30.319
and if that proves at all,
no questions from the press, bs BS

250
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:36.400
take questions. We okay, we're
gonna do us. We're gonna we're gonna

251
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:40.799
get ahead of this here because that's
a big super segment coming. The absolute

252
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.640
thing you need to know about the
new ballpark foods that were unveiled yesterday because

253
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.359
there's something that they did not tell
you. You cannot read this in the

254
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.200
Dallas Morning News. We'll give you
that at eight. But we also talked

255
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:55.960
to someone who has family in Baltimore
who can see the bridge and has some

256
00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:59.359
info on the bridge collapse that's next
on ninety seven. Won the Free
