00:00I ran across this tweet from TMZ, and I'm going to just read you exactly what the tweet said.
00:06It said, breaking, hashtag breaking, Olympian-turned-drug-king pin on the FBI top 10 most wanted list has been accused of ordering the murder of a witness.
00:20Wow.
00:21I'm like, whoa.
00:22There's a lot of things happening there.
00:24I'm like, wait a minute.
00:26Let me click this link right now.
00:28Let me see what's happening.
00:29You got me.
00:29You got me.
00:30They gave me a whole feature film.
00:32I'm like, whoa, that sounds like a Netflix feature.
00:34That's what I'm saying.
00:35I'll watch 90 minutes of that.
00:37I will watch 90 minutes of that on a Saturday if I don't have nothing going, right?
00:41A Saturday in March when there's not much happening.
00:44Yeah, and they got a picture of him snowboarding.
00:46I'm like, whoa, wait a minute.
00:48Is that a euphemism for something, or he was actually snowboarding?
00:51He might have been snowboarding a little bit.
00:53All right.
00:54Yeah.
00:54Okay.
00:55Yeah, he was playing with that snow.
00:56I bet he was.
00:57I ain't talking about no white women.
00:58So here is CBC News on the whole situation where Ryan Wedding's path from Olympian to drug kingpin.
01:10For years, former associates and rivals have been turning up dead from Canada to Colombia.
01:19A long trail of bodies leading to an unlikely suspect.
01:23Ryan Wedding, once an Olympic snowboarder from B.C., now one of the FBI's most wanted, with a $10 million bounty on his head.
01:33Wedding went from being an elite athlete to an alleged drug kingpin and murderer to now a famous fugitive.
01:39At the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City, somewhere in that Team Canada crowd was a promising 20-year-old Olympic rookie, seemingly destined for a long career on the slopes.
01:506'3", and with grandparents who owned a ski hill in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Wedding proved a natural, flying down the giant slalom course.
02:03Though this would be his only time competing on the world's biggest stage.
02:08Failing to qualify for the next round, within years, Wedding would be forging ties with a Mexican drug cartel.
02:15Good Lord.
02:17Man, he was on those slopes all right, man.
02:19Yeah, he was.
02:19He went from snow to snow.
02:21Yeah.
02:22Goodness gracious.
02:24Man.
02:24Yeah.
02:25So, he's still out there?
02:26He's still out there.
02:27Oh, he's on the run.
02:28He's on the lambs.
02:28Yeah, they're still looking for him.
02:29He was on the FBI's most wanted list.
02:31We ought to do with this dude what we did with those cats from New Orleans.
02:34Man, I'm scared to do that.
02:35Nah, man.
02:36He might pull up here.
02:37I don't know what you're talking about.
02:38Nah, yeah.
02:39I don't know nothing about that going on over there.
02:43Yeah, I don't know nothing about that.
02:45I don't know what they doing over there, but I ain't.
02:47I don't know.
02:49What is this voice?
02:50Yeah, I don't know.
02:51That's the I don't know voice.
02:53That's the Aaron Glenn.
02:55I don't know nothing about that.
02:57I don't know nothing about that trade for Brees Hall stuff.
02:59I don't know nothing about that.
03:01Yeah.
03:01I thought that was crazy.
03:03I can't.
03:03This got to be a Netflix series at some point.
03:06Yeah.
03:06When it's all said and done.
03:08When it's over.
03:09Oh, wow.
03:10832 said they recently increased his bounty to 15 mil.
03:14Yeah.
03:15Well, because I think this has been around earlier this year, but they just recently had a press conference pretty much talking about this.
03:22It's kind of just like a kind of a I say throwaway line, but one that you could let slide.
03:28He said a line of bodies between.
03:30Yeah.
03:30Yeah.
03:33Yeah.
03:33With this season stuff.
03:34And I was like, oh, he's taking out the competition like this really is.
03:37No, he's really a kingpin.
03:39That doesn't name.
03:39Just no cute little word.
03:41Yeah.
03:41He's not just implicated in a murder like he is planning and, you know, a number of different.
03:48Yeah.
03:48Only on Paramount Plus.
03:49Yeah.
03:51Olympic kingpin.
03:52Yeah.
03:53Yeah, man.
03:53This sounds like some power type stuff.
03:56Man.
03:56I'm trying to figure out who would play him in the Paramount Plus.
03:59Have you seen his face?
04:01No, I have not.
04:04There's a there's a particular player or actor that is that is coming to mind, but I can't
04:09remember his name that I feel like would play him in a movie.
04:12Woody Harrelson.
04:13No.
04:14He looks a little bit like Woody Harrelson.
04:16Woody's a little too old for that.
04:17Now he's a little older.
04:18Yeah.
04:19Now he's a little older.
04:20But and if you're friends with the Mexican drug cartel, you're you're you're bad news.
04:26And honestly, I know it was getting down like that in Canada.
04:30I I'm I'm going to be honest.
04:31I had that thought and I was like, that's very prejudiced of you.
04:34Isn't that where they're bringing the drugs in now?
04:36Probably so.
04:37If he's the top dog over there.
04:39Why would you ask me?
04:41Why do you think I have any insight into where drugs work?
04:43Isn't that what?
04:44I was like, Reggie, you would know.
04:45Why would I know?
04:46Hey, Reggie, part of the Nigerian cartel over there, man.
04:50See, at least at least get the stereotypical crime, right?
04:52It'd be like it'd be like credit card fraud or something.
04:55Yeah.
04:56Nigerian prince.
04:56The Nigerian cartel just makes sure you go to college.
05:01And I did.
05:03My mom is very proud of that.
05:06It's the midscape in the Loot Sports Radio 16.
05:10So are you.
05:13You guys familiar with Pinson?
05:14Yes, very familiar with Pinson.
05:16With the UNC.
05:17UNC Hooper.
05:18Bounced around in the NBA for a while.
05:20The wood was burning.
05:21Yeah.
05:21Yeah.
05:22He bounced around a little bit.
05:23And my greatest memory from him was the video that turned into a meme when he was looking
05:29up at the scoreboard.
05:31And I think it was Anthony Davis' stats for that night.
05:36It was a timeout going on.
05:37He looked up.
05:38He let out a big old GD looking at the scoreboard.
05:41Look at them numbers.
05:42Yeah.
05:43Yeah.
05:43So, yeah, that's where I kind of, that's my greatest memory of him.
05:48Which tells you a lot about Theo Pinson as a player on the NBA level.
05:51Yeah.
05:51Talking about somebody else.
05:52Yeah.
05:53Exactly.
05:53Yeah.
05:54And by the way, AD numbers was 34, 26, 4, 1, and 3.
05:59Dang.
06:00So, 34 points, 26 rebounds.
06:03That's like Josh Allen last night.
06:05What are we doing?
06:06Yeah.
06:07Yeah.
06:07But, anywho, he's out here wilding.
06:11I don't know if y'all probably saw this, especially if you're on Rockets Twitter.
06:15Here's Theo wilding out on, I want to say this is called the Baja live stream.
06:21He do a live stream with a couple former NBA players.
06:25And this is the trade he kind of came up with.
06:28Oh, I didn't know who this is.
06:29I think it would be good for Houston.
06:30If Kyrie goes to Houston, oh my God.
06:34Houston's going to have to get back one of your pieces, though.
06:36Bye-bye, amen.
06:37Bye-bye, amen.
06:38If you could find a way to not get rid of amen.
06:41Would you give up Sangoon?
06:42Would I give up Sangoon?
06:43Ain't no way.
06:45Ain't no way.
06:46For Kyrie coming off of ACL?
06:47No way.
06:48I got to think about it, D-Wall.
06:50I got to think about it.
06:51I don't know if I can say no way.
06:54Kyrie's injury prone.
06:56But if he's not.
06:56If he's not injured, at this point, he's in championship mode.
07:02My brother, you are tripping, man.
07:04He lost me with the...
07:07I mean, got to go.
07:09Wait, hold on, man.
07:11Hold on.
07:12The reason the Rockets are good is Sangoon.
07:14Yeah.
07:15I'm like, nah, you were tripping for Kyrie.
07:18Has Theo Pinson...
07:18Did Theo Pinson stop watching the NBA when he left the league probably about three or four years ago?
07:22He got to be good friends with Kyrie.
07:24I think he did play with Kyrie, to be fair.
07:26I believe he did in Dallas.
07:27But brother, man.
07:28He might have crossed over just a little bit.
07:30He played in Dallas and he played in Brooklyn.
07:33That's right.
07:34He was in Brooklyn.
07:34He was in Brooklyn.
07:35That's where the meme came from.
07:37I'm like, my brother, what are you doing, man?
07:40You know, Figgy, I see what you did.
07:41You connected these two stories.
07:42You had the drug kingpin of someone who's clearly on drugs.
07:44Yes.
07:45Yeah, he might be playing in that snow a little bit.
07:48I got my third eye open, Fig.
07:50I see what you're doing here.
07:51Yeah.
07:51There's a thread running through here.
07:53No, this is absolutely asinine.
07:55This is something we didn't talk about because I couldn't get myself to bring it up.
07:57The idea of, do you think the Rockets could trade for Kyrie?
08:01No.
08:02No.
08:02I think that...
08:03No.
08:03There is something he said for looking for a point guard.
08:06I don't know that you need a Kyrie, especially because...
08:08You turned into the Brooklyn Nets at this point, man.
08:11Yeah, no, you already got Kevin Durant, which you didn't really have to give up a lot for.
08:16I mean, you gave up Jalen Green and Dylan Brooks.
08:18Right.
08:18But, nah, man, giving up our man Thompson for Kyrie Irving?
08:22And funny enough...
08:23Are you crazy?
08:23That doesn't do it.
08:24You need a salary match.
08:25You're giving...
08:26Yes, I do, yeah.
08:26Like, whatever you're giving up is way too much for...
08:28Admittedly, Kyrie Irving, I've always referred to him as the best difficult shot maker.
08:34That, he can be a true point guard that runs an offense.
08:37I don't really like him in that role nearly as much.
08:40Yeah, nah, that's...
08:41To me, that's Brooklyn Nets all over.
08:43And then, when you start talking about the health aspect of it, nah, I'm good, man.
08:48I'm out of this conversation.
08:50That boy on drugs.
08:51Yeah.
08:53All right, it's the Mixtape and Loose Sports Radio 610.
08:57We got to make the kids happy.
08:59All right?
08:59All right.
08:59So, I was listening to the broadcast last night.
09:03Andre Weir, Mark Vandermeer, and Johnny Harris.
09:08So, they usually, when you listen to it, they always go down to John Harris and like, hey, what you got for us?
09:15And they give us a little port.
09:16And I think this is going to make the kids happy.
09:17Let's go down to the field and check in with John Harris.
09:19Johnny.
09:20You know, this is, what'd you say, Mark?
09:2142-ish, 40 range.
09:23I got to be careful.
09:24Kimey's got to get this thing up quickly.
09:26Dale Walker and Greg Russo are about 6'7", 6'8", next to one another.
09:32If he's a low trajectory, those two guys can get a hand on it right there in the middle on their field goal block.
09:37So, he's got to get this up quickly, put it between the uprights, take a four-point lead.
09:41About 6'7", Johnny?
09:43And a 6'7", 43-yard kick coming up here.
09:47John was just like, nope.
09:49I'm not going there.
09:51That's how you know it wasn't intentional, because I'm sure that John was just like, damn it.
09:55They got me.
09:56Yeah, Andre, where?
09:57Boy, the kids have just ruined it.
10:00They just ruined it.
10:01No, they haven't ruined anything.
10:02You sound like somebody's granddaddy right now, without question.
10:05I think we ruined it.
10:06Maybe.
10:06Like, this is the one time where I'm like, man, kids are going to look at us.
10:10Yeah, sit it out.
10:11Yeah.
10:12Like, thinking it's all cool now.
10:16It ain't even cool anymore.
10:17I'm trying to remember what in the instance was, and maybe it doesn't even matter the specifics,
10:21but I remember some older gentleman at one point.
10:24And you know, you can tell when somebody's using slang incorrectly, because they put too
10:27much emphasis on it.
10:29Yeah.
10:29Yeah, man, I think that was dope.
10:31And you're like, oh, no, don't do it like that.
10:32No, the one I come to all the time is Chris Carter.
10:35Remember, everybody used to dab.
10:38Oh, yeah.
10:39He's like, kids got these things called bapping.
10:42Yeah.
10:42Yeah, what he do, bapping.
10:44And I was just like, oh, my God.
10:45Yeah.
10:45This brother said bapping.
10:47That was when Chris Carter had real prominent TV.
10:50Yeah.
10:50Oh, yeah.
10:51These are what the kids doing now.
10:53You know, a thing called bapping.
10:54Bapping.
10:55I'm like, oh, God, it's over now.
10:57The best part is, I just imagine, like, the kids who might have been, you know, in the
11:02bathroom at that point at NRG or just riding in the car.
11:05They were doing the whole thing.
11:07And then as soon as they heard that 6-7, 6-8, they're like, yeah, 6-7.
11:11Yeah.
11:14All right, we got to get fat, man.
11:16We got to get fat.
11:17Oh, Big Back?
11:17Big Back, Big Back.
11:24Big Back, Big Back.
11:26Yeah, my back is loaded up with snacks and different foods.
11:31Squeezed into this tiny shirt.
11:33My Big Back has no room.
11:35All right.
11:35Big Back.
11:36So, you got some Big Back activity going on right here.
11:39Trill Burger.
11:40They tweeted out this.
11:42Thanksgiving in a sandwich, the Trill way.
11:46So, they got a picture of a, it looked like a sandwich from far back.
11:50But when you look closer, it is house gravy, homemade stuffing, garlic is a crema, toasted
12:00breadcrumbs.
12:03It's all inside.
12:04All in one sandwich.
12:05Yeah, so it's a bun, and in between the buns, it looks like stuffing.
12:09Your Thanksgiving dinner.
12:11Yep.
12:11Basically, all in a sandwich.
12:13And then they got the fries around it.
12:14So, I want to know if y'all willing to try this.
12:17Definitely willing to try it.
12:19I'm interested in this, and I say this with a lot of love for Trill Burger, so please don't
12:23take this the wrong way.
12:24Uh-oh.
12:24Uh-oh.
12:25The way that Trill Burger stack their burgers, I don't know that all that stays on the burger.
12:29No, no, it won't.
12:29Yeah.
12:30Like, Trill Burger is one of those sandwiches where it kind of looked like the lean
12:35entire burger at times, and I'm like, all those things are already sloppy enough.
12:39I feel like it's going to be difficult to keep them on a sandwich.
12:41Well, beyond the semantics of it all, I just want a turkey sandwich, man.
12:47You can get it right here, though, man.
12:49That's the post.
12:50Unless you're having this as your Thanksgiving dinner, which I think they're more in line
12:54with before and after Thanksgiving, you can have this.
12:56Yeah.
12:57So, this is available, I guess, this week at all Trill Burger locations, and they are
13:03closed on Thanksgiving, so you can't get it on Thanksgiving.
13:06Yeah.
13:07Yeah, but, uh, so, we all, all three of us will try this.
13:10I would try this.
13:10That's me Monday, we got to do the Trill Burger turkey sandwich, is that what's happening?
13:14We can.
13:15Hey, you don't have to ask me twice.
13:17Big bag, big bag.
13:18All right, so, we all got some big backs over here.
13:20Yeah, man.
13:21We're willing to try this one.
13:22All right.
13:23I love that we've said that we're going to try all sorts of food, and we ain't taking
13:26a bite first.
13:27We haven't taken a single bite.
13:28Hey.
13:28I kind of use this as a metaphor, man.
13:31It's just like, oh, I'll try it.
13:34Let's do it today.
13:35What?
13:35You know what I really do, right?
13:37Oh, yeah.
13:38Got to give a special salute to our guy.
13:41He's been a listener for years, man.
13:43Great dude.
13:44You probably know him on Twitter as Michael Beckman.
13:47Yes, he came up here.
13:49He hit us up on social media.
13:50Salute to him.
13:51He had to get another Twitter account because his original one got hacked.
13:55Man, those hackers out here working.
13:57Yeah, out here working for the holiday.
13:59But he decided to bring us up some fried chicken from his wife.
14:03Mm-hmm.
14:03So salute to him.
14:04Salute to his wife for making us some fried chicken.
14:07It was pretty good, man.
14:08It was.
14:09It was very good.
14:09It was really good.
14:10I loved it.
14:10Except for that one piece that I took a bite of.
14:13That was unfortunate.
14:13Yeah, you loved it so much.
14:15You took the drumstick out of Lopez's hand.
14:17Honestly, I was trying to be nice.
14:20That made me so happy.
14:20I was trying to be nice because I was like, all right, there's a few pieces.
14:24I had four pieces of chicken.
14:25He brought it in one bowl, and that's fine.
14:28We could share it.
14:29Warmed it up.
14:30I was like, I had already had a couple, and I wanted one more.
14:32And I was like, Lopez ain't having it.
14:34I was like, let me get the smallest piece so I wouldn't take it.
14:37But the reason why it was the smallest piece.
14:39Because he ate.
14:39He had already taken a bite out the thing.
14:41I didn't even know.
14:43So I felt real bad.
14:45Yeah, the chicken was good, though, man.
14:46Appreciate it.
14:47Appreciate your wife.
14:48Salute to your wife.
14:49We love the little note that you left us to.
14:51Yeah.
14:51Incredible.
14:52Your wife.
14:53Yeah, yeah.
14:53So salute to Michael Beckman.
14:55And also salute to my guy G-Man, 97.9 The Box.
14:59Okay.
15:00I hit him up the other day, or I think it was yesterday,
15:02to try to catch up with him at the game.
15:05And I thought he was going to be tailgating, but he wasn't tailgating.
15:08And he said he loved the mixtape.
15:10He loved the station.
15:11He loved our show.
15:14Man, he's not the only one that loves mixtape,
15:17and more importantly, Figgy.
15:18I've been doing these tailgater of the games for, I guess,
15:21a year and a half now.
15:23And yesterday was probably the most times that I've had us just rolling
15:28around the lots and just somewhere out of nowhere, deep off in the lot.
15:33Figgy, Fig.
15:34Hey, Fig.
15:35Fig.
15:35Fig.
15:35Fig.
15:36I was like, man, I'm rolling with a real-life celebrity.
15:39Everybody knows Figgy, Fig.
15:41And not even knows Figgy, Fig.
15:43It's like they sense Figgy.
15:44They can barely even see him.
15:45It's like, oh, that's Figgy over there.
15:47I see him.
15:47I'm like, I wasn't even wearing nothing loud or anything.
15:50I understand if I was wearing something loud.
15:51Oh, they saw the hair.
15:53That's the bat signal.
15:54That is the bat signal.
15:56Yeah, salute to everybody, man, that was out there tailgating
15:58and all that stuff, man.
15:59Very good.
16:00Very good.
16:00I mean, and of course, when I was driving out of the stadium,
16:03I was there for a little bit after.
16:05And when I was leaving the stadium, I had my windows down
16:07because it was nice out in Houston, Texas in the fall.
16:10And I'm hearing people bumping in the lot still.
16:12Oh, it was buzzing.
16:13I can't imagine how late people got home.
16:15And then when they got home, I can't imagine people got to sleep quickly.
16:18Yeah.
16:19I couldn't sleep last night.
16:20And that was because of a good thing because I was just so excited.
16:23I was just watching all the clips.
16:25I thought it was just me.
16:26But apparently, I saw a couple people texting in saying they couldn't sleep either
16:29because of the wind.
16:31And that could go both ways at times, man.
16:32Yes, it can.
16:33You also can't sleep when they lose real bad.
16:36Thankfully, it's a good way.
