00:00Or oh, thanks, Sam.

00:01Well, hold on, hold on.

00:02You said, whoa, while getting close to his phone.

00:05That means that there could be something breaking.

00:07It's not Jimmy Butler related, but it's still whoa.

00:11Because, well, there's a story from,

00:15I guess, the Wall Street Journal that is.

00:20You got notifications on them, too.

00:22No, no, no, no.

00:23Actually, it's somebody else's notifications led me to this.

00:26Gotcha.

00:27So it's a story from the Wall Street Journal.

00:30I'm just going to read the tweet because I haven't read the article yet.

00:32And I kind of want to.

00:34But it says here's just the tweet.

00:35Federal prosecutors have been investigating

00:38whether NBA player Terry Rozier manipulated his performance

00:42as part of an illegal sports betting scheme.

00:45The inquiry is part of a wider government investigation

00:48that has already ensnared Jonte Porter.

00:51That would be.

00:53How can you do that?

00:54You make 20 plus million a year.

00:55They think, OK, it's not enough.

00:58Can I can't pay you enough money to risk it?

01:02Right. He this from Anthony Chang that he was referring request

01:05for comment to the NBA NBA spokesman Mike Bass.

01:08Lee conducted an investigation and did not find a violation of NBA rules.

01:12We are now aware of an investigation by the U.S.

01:14Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York related to this matter.

01:18And I've been cooperating with the investigation.

01:20It's associations, by the way.

01:23That's all it is.

01:24Right. If you're associated with someone,

01:29then they're going to question you if they were caught up in some stuff.

01:34To me, it's less about the potential of him actually doing it.

01:37I don't think he did it.

01:39I just think it's going to be hilarious.

01:40And if I was in that locker room, I'd totally bring it up

01:43that you were so bad for two months.

01:46The NBA is like this, unless it explains him being so bad.

01:50OK, because he was historically bad.

01:53I think it was like 15% or like it was it was a ridiculous.

01:58So now here's the other crazy thing.

02:03Basketball is weird in that you go through these stretches.

02:06What if all of a sudden he turns it around?

02:08I don't want to say he did it then.

02:11He's in a no win situation just because of the circumstances he's under.

02:14He's in. Right. That's a weird thing.

02:18Right. If all of a sudden he goes out and scores 35

02:21and goes like eight for nine in the playoffs, right?

02:26Like, isn't that not crazy?

02:29People in those unders do.

02:32If you bet under on Taros here for the entire month of December

02:37and January, you made a decent amount of money, but not 20 million.

02:42OK, here's from Tim Reynolds.

02:44The Wall Street Journal reports a terrorist's performance

02:46in a March 23rd 2023 game with Charlotte.

02:50Oh, he's being probed by federal investigators.

02:53Rozier has not been accused of wrongdoing. We can confirm.

02:56Oh, OK. All right. So there you go.

02:59So it's the associates that I guess they're the associates, not him.

03:09Barry, you were so bad during January.

03:11They've launched an investigation on you, dude.

03:15That I really thought this was like, yeah,

03:19I think it puts it well into it.

03:21I thought this was central.

03:21Like, I thought this was NBA central being parodied.

03:24All right. I thought we were being. I don't know.

03:26I mean, obviously, we'll get more of the details on this.

03:29This is a going a lion fast and heavy, but ish.

03:36All right. Wouldn't that be something to what?

03:40That's what you're thinking about, right?

03:41Yeah, I think once you tell me you're clear, I hope he's cleared.

03:47They just said he's not under investigation.

03:51Just wanted to be questioned.

03:55Should we say we're probably put out this?

04:02Oh, man. Wow.

04:05That's a day. So I told you eight dog.

04:09He's got Nate Dogg at eight.

04:11He nailed it. We got a contest for you guys.
