Summary

You've heard it over and over by now. Professional sports is rigged! Is that entirely true? Stigall turns to two industry experts after an enormous gambling ring was broken up by Kash Patel's FBI involving several former and active NBA players, a coach, and four mafia families. Dave Mason represents an online betting site and Stigall asks what is necessary to prevent this kind of cheating short of outlawing betting. Marc Farzetta is a tenured sports talk show host and Stigall asks him what the implications are for all of professional sports we enjoy watching. Plus, judges are using AI in their rulings now and getting it wrong! The government shutdown continues after Democrats say no to paying furloughed government workers in a failed vote yesterday. We talk with a former Trump Ambassador on his trade policy. How do you interact with a government the President is battling over trade deals? And open line Friday with a buffet of unusual subjects as usual.
