00:00Bro, bro, bro, bro, wait, hang on.
00:08My hair looks crazy today.
00:09Dude, it's a podcast.
00:11Yeah, and thank God, because you look horrible.
00:13Okay, we got to start.
00:15Listen, today's a big show, because I'm ready to call him.
00:19Someone take Coach W to the vet and euthanize him.
00:22He's lived a good life, but it's time.
00:25Dude, you're calling him?
00:26He's done.
00:27And I don't say this lightly.
00:28I mean, we are talking about Coach Russell Willoughby.
00:33This man has how many NBA titles?
00:34A lot of NBA titles.
00:35Yeah.
00:35That's true.
00:36A legend.
00:37And if my dude had just stayed retired, that'd be the end of it.
00:40But at age 106, he decides to coach college.
00:44He's 74, but continue.
00:45I'm like, okay, interesting.
00:47St. Ivins has sucked lately.
00:49Maybe he builds the program back into what it was.
00:52Boy, was that a bad bet.
00:53Okay, hang on.
00:54They've lost three games.
00:56It takes years to rebuild, bro.
00:58I'm not talking about the record.
00:59You know what I'm talking about.
01:01Clearly, basketball is like the last thing on this man's mind right now.
01:05You're acting like we don't know exactly who to blame.
01:08Dude, I feel like if I mention her name, she'll put a hex on my ding-dong.
01:11She's not Voldemort, man.
01:13She might be.
01:14We're talking about the biggest story in sports right now.
01:17Don't you say her name.
01:18Peyton Ramsey.
01:20I said it.
01:20Well, now she's going to hex you a ding-dong.
01:22Good thing you never use it.
01:24Hey, speaking of that, today's podcast is brought to you by Shape and Skate.
01:29Fellas, you know how bad it hurts when you're using clippers down there and you catch a bit
01:32of this script.
01:37Have you listened yet?
01:38Hey, beautiful.
01:40Listen to what?
01:41Mwah.
01:43We can't let these guys keep talking about us like this.
01:46You know my media policy.
01:48Peyton, just tune it out.
01:49Focus on the fundamentals.
01:51These guys have millions of followers, okay?
01:53And by the way, they're still quoting inside sources, which means that your players are still DMing them.
01:59Ah, I told you that I don't know what DMing means.
02:04Anyway, listen.
02:06Pey, come on.
02:07Deep breath, okay?
02:09I will reiterate our media policy at the next team practice.
02:14Also, I had some thoughts about some of the guys' socials, but I don't want to overstep.
02:19No, no, no, no.
02:19I think it's a great idea.
02:20I'm sure that the guys would appreciate your advice.
02:23Thank you, babe.
02:24Thank you, thank you, thank you.
02:25Hmm.
02:25Hmm.
02:26See you in a bit.
02:46Hey, Peyton.
02:47You need to delete your ex-account.
02:49I don't think I have one of those.
02:51It's what they call Twitter now.
02:52And your old profile still has posts of 15-year-old Marcus saying,
02:56Do you think they spell it boobs because the two O's look like boobs?
03:04No.
03:04Just found out no school because it's Yom Kippur.
03:08Hope all you Jews out partying and getting laid.
03:12Yeah, what's wrong with that?
03:13Yom Kippur is a day of atonement.
03:15No offense, but why do you care?
03:17Because I manage Coach W's personal brand now.
03:20So if one of his players posts something offensive,
03:22then it's bad for his brand.
03:24Now, if you don't want to take my advice,
03:26then maybe he rethinks tomorrow's starting five,
03:27and we go from there.
03:30Hey, Dave.
03:31Marcus, could you give us a minute?
03:37Okay.
03:41I'm going to be very clear.
03:44You need to stop what you're doing here.
03:46What?
03:46But why?
03:47No, let's don't make a big thing out of this, okay?
03:49We both know that you've taken advantage of Coach's affection for you
03:53to adopt a role that's completely inappropriate to your age
03:57and your experience,
03:58and that your presence here has become a distraction.
04:01You find me distracting?
04:03Creep.
04:05When I recruited Coach W to St. Ivins,
04:07it was the greatest moment of my career.
04:10Or it should have been.
04:12But you ruined it.
04:14You ruined him.
04:15Why?
04:16Because I finally got him to do something about his eyebrows?
04:18You turned a legend into a sad, pathetic loser,
04:21posing for selfies,
04:22doing sandwich commercials.
04:24You single-handedly destroyed a great man's legacy.
04:27The best thing you could do would be to lose his number.
04:29But I can't make you do that.
04:34So I'm doing the one thing I can do.
04:36I'm banning you from the premises.
04:37And what does Russell think about that?
04:43If you really care about him, you'll go quietly.
04:49Okay.
04:50Okay.
04:52Well, until you get the balls to tell Russell
04:54that you think he's a...
04:56Sorry, what was it again you called him?
04:57Right.
04:59A sad, pathetic loser.
05:01I will be seeing you around, Dave.
05:03Payton, if he sticks with you,
05:04he'll be gone before a long two.
05:06So you tell me.
05:08If you think he'll choose you
05:09over his career.
05:20Fellas.
05:20It's not just that she's hot.
05:30Coach W is rich and famous.
05:32There's hotter girls he could pull,
05:34and they wouldn't try to do his job for him, either.
05:36I think she's got some kind of blackmail on him.
05:38I do.
05:39I'm telling you, dude.
05:41She's a witch.
05:42Oh, yeah.
05:43She's definitely a witch, dude.
05:50Jeez, he's scared me.
06:02Hey.
06:03It's late.
06:04Why are you still awake?
06:05Ah, couldn't sleep.
06:07Just watching tape.
06:12You okay?
06:14We're good.
06:16You do your job,
06:17and you let me do mine.
06:20I'm just saying,
06:24if I were with some old, rich guy,
06:26I don't think I'd be able to, like,
06:27poach this team for him.
06:28She's kind of impressive.
06:29But, babe, this team keeps losing.
06:33Oh, I think I'm gonna pee my pants.
06:34Oh, we're seven blocks from the dorm.
06:36No, I can't make it that far.
06:38I'm gonna win.
06:39Okay, okay, just go over there.
06:41Where?
06:42In that alley?
06:43No, thanks.
06:44Not trying to get murdered.
06:45Babe, do you want a UTI?
06:47I'll keep lookout.
06:47What?
06:48Fine, okay.
06:49Bye-bye.
06:50Ugh.
06:59Ah!
06:59Ah!
07:07Hey, Elsbeth, watch where you're going.
07:13Sorry, Captain.
07:14I was on my phone.
07:15Oh, Meryl Canada's mysterious redhead identified.
07:18Uh-oh, someone finally named you?
07:20Yeah, New York Confidential.
07:22They do celebrity gossip.
07:23I guess that makes you a celebrity?
07:25Hardly.
07:26They spelled my name wrong.
07:27Elsbeth with a P.
07:29Yeah.
07:29It's actually the more common variant.
07:31Yeah, are any of them common?
07:33Just email them with a correction.
07:35Oh, no.
07:35I wouldn't bother.
07:37Besides, who cares, right?
07:40Certainly not me.
07:42Uh, this is Detective Taylor.
07:43Just transferred from the 15th.
07:45This is closer to my kid's preschool.
07:46Cute.
07:47Detective Taylor, where are we?
07:48We've got a positive ID.
07:49Dave Coppins.
07:50He's the athletic director.
07:51Cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head.
07:54What's this about?
07:55Two St. Ivan students found a body on the street near campus last night.
07:59I'm headed there now, Captain.
08:00Good.
08:01Uh, the administration is gonna want to wrap this up quick.
08:03Oh, sounds like an important case for the NYPD to get right.
08:06Maybe I should tag along?
08:08You like college sports?
08:09No, no.
08:10But I had a roommate who was on the softball team.
08:13I think she stole my Wham album.
08:19We've probably got it handled.
08:21Bring Elsbeth along, just in case.
08:23Oh.
08:24You're Elsbeth.
08:25With a B.
08:26Like Liza.
08:27What?
08:28Liza with a Z.
08:30Sorry.
08:31I played sports.
08:39None of this was here in my day.
08:41You went to St. Ivan's?
08:43Class of 2012.
08:44Field hockey.
08:44Cool.
08:45We're very grateful to our donors.
08:47Any working theories, detective?
08:49I'm still in shock.
08:50It appears he died of severe blunt force trauma to the head.
08:54Body had signs of exposure, frostbite, women's urine, but we accounted for that last part.
08:58Frostbite?
08:59No wallet or phone.
09:00Maybe a random mugging.
09:02It's still early.
09:03Ooh.
09:04Is that, uh, is that your school's mascot?
09:07It is.
09:08The St. Ivan's thing.
09:10We call him thingy.
09:11What is it?
09:13When they replaced the old mascot, they let the student body vote on the new one.
09:17Huh.
09:19Of course, the students turned it into a joke.
09:22What was the old mascot?
09:24You don't want to know.
09:25I really do.
09:28Dave liked to lift weights after work.
09:31May we take a look?
09:33Sure thing, detective.
09:34Oh, found it.
09:36Oh, no.
09:38That is not okay.
09:46Dave usually worked out here late when he wouldn't be in any of the players' way.
09:49Our facilities are state-of-the-art.
09:52I'll say.
09:53Ooh.
09:55Stuff.
09:57Uh, excuse me.
09:59Oh, that's okay.
10:02Interesting.
10:02Ma'am, you can't just take people's things.
10:06Criminal justice.
10:08That was my major when I was here.
10:10Oh, cool.
10:11Mine too.
10:12You're Jason Roberts.
10:13My wife and kid love you, by the way.
10:17We have season tickets.
10:18Nice, nice.
10:20Who, uh, are you?
10:22This is Detective Taylor with the NYPD.
10:26Dave Coppins was found murdered on the street last night.
10:29There's going to be an announcement.
10:30Detective, your associate!
10:32Murdered?
10:33Holy...
10:34Uh, wait, do they know who did it?
10:37Why do you?
10:42Something I need to know?
10:47Ma'am, excuse me.
10:49Uh, we really prefer you not touch the equipment.
10:52Right.
10:52State-of-the-art.
10:53Also, it's about to be evidence.
10:55Why?
10:56What do you mean?
10:57Detective, if I could just...
10:58Who's that?
11:00That's Coach Willoughby.
11:02Oh.
11:03And that's his daughter?
11:04No.
11:05Oh.
11:07Oh.
11:08Uh, Detective, I found something that you might want to see.
11:11Coach W.
11:12Who's asking?
11:13Detective Nina Taylor, NYPD.
11:15We found the body of Dave Coppins murdered about a block from here last night.
11:21It's karma.
11:22Amanda's dead, Miss Ramsey.
11:24You know my name.
11:25I follow the team.
11:26You loom pretty large these days.
11:28Detective.
11:29Detective.
11:30Ooh, I love your nail polish.
11:32Is that chartreuse?
11:34No.
11:35Huh.
11:36It sucks that he got killed, but I'm not going to act like I'm going to miss him.
11:39I heard you two had a big fight yesterday.
11:41You didn't tell me about that.
11:43Detective.
11:43Got an alibi.
11:44I do, but my alibi is none of your business.
11:46Detective.
11:46What?
11:47Oh!
11:48Wow.
11:48You scared me.
11:49Um, you need to see this.
11:51I found the victim's school ID badge in this cubby right here.
11:58But if he left for the night, why wouldn't he take this with him unless he didn't leave
12:05for the night?
12:07I don't follow.
12:08Well, I remember that you told me we have frostbite, which is strange because when I
12:15walked Gonzo last night, it wasn't that cold.
12:18It doesn't have to be that cold if you're out for a long time.
12:20Can you get to the point?
12:21Oh, yes.
12:22Uh, this is an ice therapy bath.
12:26Very cold.
12:28And look at this.
12:31What am I looking at?
12:32Blood.
12:33I mean, not much.
12:34Maybe Dave was killed in the ice bath, and then when the killer cleaned up the mess, they
12:39missed a spot.
12:40I mean, it's hard to see against the school colors.
12:43There are a lot of heavy objects around here you could use to kill someone.
12:47Exactly.
12:48Maybe the killer dressed the body and then moved it across the street to make it look
12:57like a robbery.
12:57Okay.
12:58I'm calling this in so we can process it as a crime scene, and then I'm going to bring
13:02Peyton in for questioning.
13:03Wait.
13:04Uh, the coach's young friend?
13:06Yeah.
13:07She had a fight with the victim.
13:09She's got no alibi, and she has access to the facilities for some reason.
13:12But how does such a tiny little woman move that big body all by herself?
13:25I'm sure we'll figure it out.
13:42All right.
13:46You want to tell me what I'm looking at here, Lieutenant?
13:49Those are the results of the department's internal cybersecurity stress test.
13:52I wanted to give you a heads up because they identified several weak spots, including, well,
13:59you.
14:01Excuse me?
14:02All department employees received an email containing a link to an unsecured website
14:06duped to look like the NYPD's login page.
14:08Yeah.
14:09I remember this email.
14:11Why won't they ever just let us use an old password?
14:14I don't know.
14:16But it was a phishing test, and you handed over your credentials two minutes after the
14:20email went out.
14:21Let me get this straight.
14:23You played a trick on me?
14:24Not a trick.
14:26A cybersecurity stress test.
14:28Well, it sounds like police entrapment to me.
14:30Sir, I recognize you have some anxiety around technology.
14:33No, I have some anxiety around whether or not my own people are looking to make a fool of
14:37me.
14:38Sir, departments have lost millions of dollars to ransomware hackers using these methods.
14:43You put the department at risk.
14:45Oh, no, I didn't.
14:46Because there were no real hackers.
14:48There was just you.
14:49All you need to do is pass a simple, quick remedial retreat.
14:53Say remedial one more time and find out what happens.
14:56Captain?
14:58Is she here?
15:03This isn't over.
15:09Several players overheard Dave say you were banned from the facilities.
15:13And yet you were back this morning, almost like you knew Dave wouldn't be a problem.
15:18No, I did know that.
15:20Because he didn't have the balls to tell Russell how he felt.
15:23We're sending a team to your home with a warrant.
15:26We're going to comb through everything.
15:27Your clothes, your shampoo.
15:29If one speck of Dave's blood turns up, you're done.
15:33If there's anything we should know, you can save everyone a lot of trouble if you tell
15:37us now.
15:38Or I could hire a lawyer.
15:40Huh?
15:40Do you think I'm stupid?
15:41David, if you're this dead set on pinning this on me, then I'm not talking to either
15:46one of you guys.
15:48And I want a lawyer.
15:54I still don't understand how someone as petite as Peyton could have moved Dave's frozen body
16:00all the way out to the street.
16:02Did you see her manicure?
16:03Flawless.
16:04What does that have to do with you?
16:05Well, don't you think she would have at least chipped a nail?
16:07Maybe she had an accomplice.
16:09Or a good gel manicure.
16:10Yeah, good point.
16:11Have you looked into Coach Willoughby?
16:13I'll check his alibi, but eh.
16:16He didn't know about Peyton's fight with Dave.
16:18She didn't tell him.
16:19And neither did any of the players who heard it.
16:21Plus.
16:22What?
16:22He doesn't seem up to it.
16:25I was excited when they announced the hire, but it's sad seeing him like this.
16:30He should have stayed retired.
16:31That seems a little harsh.
16:33They've only played three games.
16:34It's not his record.
16:35It's the way he's letting this woman embarrass him.
16:38He looks ridiculous.
16:40Trust me.
16:41She's the one calling the shots.
16:43Are you sure you're not letting your fandom cloud your judgment?
16:46Oh, come on.
16:47She's a nightmare.
16:48Exactly.
16:49What?
16:50It's not how you would behave if you needed to keep a low profile.
16:54That's your defense?
16:55She's acting too guilty?
16:56Yes.
16:57Well put.
16:58Okay, Counselor.
16:59If your girl didn't do it, why doesn't she just tell us her alibi?
17:03Good question.
17:04I don't know.
17:05Well, if you want to clear this woman, Elsbeth, you need to find out what she was doing the
17:09night of the murder.
17:11Come with me.
17:18Somerville?
17:19Captain?
17:21Miss Tassioni?
17:22Elsbeth needs you.
17:23Help chasing something down.
17:25Of course, sir.
17:26I thank you for the opportunity.
17:27I won't let you down.
17:28Okay.
17:29Calm down.
17:29What's a cybersecurity retraining module?
17:32Oh, it's embarrassing.
17:35I failed the department phishing test.
17:37You?
17:38But you're so youthful.
17:40Oh, I love those phishing tests.
17:43They're like a game.
17:44They're like Wordle.
17:45Only easier.
17:46I mean, they haven't tricked me yet.
17:48But it's fun to see all the ways they try.
17:51That night, I was in coach's office.
17:58We were watching some tape.
17:59Great.
18:00That's exactly what he said.
18:01Mm.
18:02Hey, between us, what do you make of his girlfriend?
18:04Oh, Peyton?
18:06Uh, I don't know.
18:08I mean, kind of weird, I guess.
18:10She's like super young.
18:12He's like super old.
18:14She must be a real distraction.
18:16Not really.
18:18I mean, the media makes it seem like it's this big thing,
18:21but honestly, she's giving me some good tips
18:23on monetizing my socials, yo.
18:25Mm.
18:27That's positive.
18:28Yeah, and like I was all nervous when coach got hired
18:30because he used to like be famous for throwing balls
18:33at players at practice and stuff.
18:35Actually, he's been super chill.
18:37So maybe he just need to get laid.
18:40Hey, is there like a reason you were interviewing everybody
18:43on the court?
18:44Oh, no.
18:44Honestly, this is just a real dream for me.
18:48Oh, bro.
18:50In that case, let me put one up in your honor.
18:57Can we take a selfie for my kid?
18:59Yeah, yo, gotta get back.
19:03What up, kid?
19:05Oh, I don't believe this.
19:07What's that, man?
19:09Another website just spelled it wrong.
19:11Mysterious Red Hat E-L-S-P-E-T-H.
19:14They're just copy-pasting the New York Confidential.
19:17Is my son the last fact-checker working in all of journalism?
19:22Is that like a job people used to have or...
19:24Oh, here we go.
19:26Is that your sports club?
19:28My fantasy league, yeah.
19:28One of my guys might actually have something.
19:31Okay, here.
19:31Pull up this morning's episode of the Steve Trey Show.
19:33Okay, what's that?
19:34Uh, sports radio guy.
19:36Okay, he says start at two hours and 13 minutes.
19:39The show is longer than two hours?
19:41And people like that?
19:43Well, if you're joining us, it looks like Peyton Ramsey may not just be an evil succubus.
19:48She may also be a murderer, allegedly.
19:50Uh, Big Lou from Queens, drawn with Steve Trey.
19:54Now, in your opinion, did Peyton Ramsey murder the St. Ivins Athletic Director?
19:59I'm gonna have to say no, Steve.
20:01No?
20:02Well, you're in the minority here, Big Lou.
20:04Make a case.
20:05I drive a cab for a living, and last night, I swear to God, I took Peyton Ramsey all the
20:10way out to Long Island.
20:12No way she was anywhere near that murder when it went down.
20:16Lou, can you verify this?
20:17Nah, she paid cash, but I know it was her, and may I say that is a fine set of...
20:23Okay, that's enough.
20:26Wow.
20:27If only we're always that easy.
20:29So, worth checking out, huh?
20:31With all due respect to Big Lou, it must have been a lookalike.
20:34Why?
20:35Just in from the lab.
20:37They identified some smudges found on Dave's tracksuit.
20:39It was L-Mem's August Wind Shade of Concealer.
20:42Guess what shade of cover-up we found at Peyton's house.
20:45September breeze?
20:47We're bringing her in.
20:59What happened to your lawyer?
21:01He was an idiot.
21:03And I didn't murder anyone, so why would I pay some overpriced lobotomite for his crap advice?
21:08Great.
21:09Well, then you can explain to me how your makeup was found on the sweats Dave was wearing when they found his body.
21:14It doesn't feel like my job.
21:17Maybe he brushed up on me that day.
21:19I...
21:19He was a creep.
21:21The makeup was under his armpits.
21:23Like you had it on your hands when you were lifting the body.
21:27Well, then someone is framing me.
21:29I still don't think this is enough to charge her.
21:37The killer might just wear the same shade of makeup as Peyton.
21:39L-Mem makes over 150 specific shades of concealer.
21:43That would be quite the coincidence.
21:44Where are we on that alibi?
21:46Well, Captain, we are not nowhere, but we are also not somewhere.
21:52So that leaves you where?
21:53Exactly.
21:55Let's hold her 24 hours.
21:56Elspeth, you're running out of time.
21:58Even if Coach weren't all horned up, he'd be struggling.
22:05I mean, college is a completely different skill set from the pros.
22:08It's all about recruiting and with all this NIL stuff now going on.
22:12Right.
22:13And that is all very interesting.
22:15But again, the question that I asked about 20 miles back,
22:18how did you know it was Peyton in your cab the night of the murder?
22:22Did you speak with her?
22:23Oh, I tried.
22:24Yeah.
22:24There we go.
22:26Because if she's the one really coaching the team,
22:29then boy, do I have some advice for her.
22:31I mean, some of these offensive sets that they're running,
22:34way too much pick and roll.
22:36You know, you can't expect these young kids
22:37to figure it out all by themselves.
22:38Totally.
22:39Yes.
22:39Yes, and I really want to hear more about that.
22:42But when you said you tried...
22:44She said if I didn't quit yapping, she wouldn't tip.
22:47That does sound like her.
22:49Yeah, because it was her.
22:51Anyway, what I would have told her
22:52is that they got to go back to the flex offense
22:55that got them the championship in the 90s.
22:57Absolutely.
22:58Because the 90s came around.
22:59It was a beautiful game, right?
23:00If I could just...
23:00And there we go.
23:02And you said that she said to drop her at this house.
23:06That's the one?
23:07Yeah.
23:07Do you need a ride back?
23:08Because I can wait.
23:10You know what, Lou?
23:11I think I'll take the train.
23:13Okay.
23:22Lieutenant.
23:24You're looking at the freshly minted graduate
23:26of NYPD's Remedial Cybersecurity Refresher Training Online Module.
23:31Congratulations, Captain.
23:32I hope you'll take these cybersecurity issues
23:34more seriously going forward.
23:36Mm-hmm.
23:39Hmm.
23:41Oh, no.
23:42No cash?
23:43No, no.
23:43I've got some right...
23:44Well, consider this a gesture of goodwill.
23:51No worries about the entrapment business.
23:54It was an internal stress test.
23:56Never mind.
24:07Hang on, Peg.
24:08Someone's at my door.
24:09Hi.
24:10I said no contact delivery.
24:11You could just leave it on the doorstep.
24:13Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
24:14Sorry.
24:15I'm Elsbeth Tassioni.
24:17With a B.
24:19And I am with the police.
24:20Uh, sort of.
24:21What does sort of mean?
24:23This woman says she's with the police department.
24:25She's dressed like a sour patch kid.
24:26I'm so sorry to bother you,
24:28but do you know this woman?
24:29Hang on, Peg.
24:31No.
24:32Never seen her.
24:33Really?
24:34She didn't come and visit you the other night?
24:36Or someone who looks like her, maybe?
24:38No.
24:38Listen, I gotta go.
24:40No, Peg, not you.
24:41Um, so sorry.
24:43Is there anyone else who lives here?
24:45Maybe.
24:45No.
24:46Okay.
24:46Good luck.
24:47Have a good day.
24:53Rats.
24:55Strange.
24:56I know where you were the night of the murder.
25:15Cool.
25:16Me too.
25:17Do you think that if I order sushi to the precinct, they'll bring it back to me?
25:21I don't.
25:22But I do think that while someone was murdering Dave Coppins, you were meeting with a potential
25:27recruit.
25:28Oliver Ashford of John Adams Jr. High School.
25:30Woo.
25:31That is one tall 14-year-old.
25:33Is that where Oliver said I was?
25:34He wouldn't give you up, but by the way, eighth grade seems very premature for college recruiting.
25:42You don't think he's talking to every program in the country right now?
25:44Well, if everyone is doing it, then why won't you tell the truth?
25:46Because when I do it, it's an international scandal.
25:52Why do you think people react so negatively to you?
25:58It seems like you're just trying to help.
26:00People act like it's the age difference between me and Russ, but really, I just think they're
26:04miserable, lonely losers who hate to see two people who are actually happy.
26:08Right.
26:11Have you ever tried approaching people in a less conflict-forward manner?
26:19And do what? Act quirky and naive so people find me less threatening?
26:24Is that what you think I'm doing?
26:26Maybe it's generational.
26:28But I do think it's a little sad that you feel like you have to do all of that to be
26:31taken seriously.
26:34Me, I'm just not going to apologize for being direct.
26:37And how's that working out for you?
26:40You're not going to get me to tell you where I was that night.
26:43Besides it being illegal, it would ruin Russ's reputation.
26:46No one would believe that he didn't know, and it would be tape gate all over again.
26:52Tape gate.
26:53Big Lou used that word, too.
26:55What's tape gate?
26:56So, when Russ was coaching the NBA, the visiting team found a wiretap in their locker room.
27:02It was the assistant coach, and he swore that Russ didn't know, but Russ's haters just couldn't
27:07accept that.
27:08You know, when you win, as much as Russ does, people just want to take you down.
27:12A bugging device.
27:13Interesting.
27:15Are you sure I can't order the sushi?
27:17Uh, no need.
27:18You're, uh, you're free to go.
27:19What?
27:20Yeah, you might not want to admit it, but I convinced them that you were in Long Island,
27:24so they're not pressing charges right now.
27:28Feels like you could open with that.
27:30Where are you going?
27:32Are you going to call someone to tell them to let me out?
27:36Hello?
27:36Hello?
27:41Elspeth, what's going on?
27:42What are we doing here?
27:43Shh.
27:45Uh, remember?
27:47We asked some of the players to meet us here.
27:51To, you know, sign some autographs for your son.
27:55Right.
27:56I remember.
27:57Really?
27:58That would be amazing.
27:59Oh, no.
27:59I'm improvising.
28:02Okay.
28:04What kind of autographs are we looking for?
28:07Well, uh, I'm not sure yet, but, um, we'll know them when we see them.
28:12Well, will we be looking for them long, do you anticipate?
28:17Uh, hopefully.
28:18Not long at all.
28:28You should wear the new bomber I got you, babe.
28:43Hmm.
28:44Whatever you say.
28:45I'm just glad that those police have stopped harassing you.
28:49Right?
28:49I mean, we've had this resi for, like, months.
28:52Yeah, but I don't understand how they can keep holding you without any evidence.
28:55I told you.
28:56It doesn't matter.
28:57Yeah.
28:57You just focus on the job, and I'll do.
29:03What are you doing?
29:04Oh, uh, this?
29:05No, no.
29:06It's stupid.
29:08Sorry.
29:08I just, when we were doing that photo shoot, I thought that you were looking at my age spot.
29:14So I thought I'd borrow this from you for a little while.
29:16So you've been wearing my concealer since when?
29:20Since, since last week?
29:23Yeah, I know it's, it's vain.
29:26I didn't think you'd mind.
29:30It's cute.
29:31Well, what can I tell you?
29:33You make me do crazy things.
29:43Why would he bug his own player's locker room?
29:46We're guessing he instilled The Wire because he wanted to know which players were talking about him and Peyton to the media.
29:51He could have listened to the tapes late that night and heard Dave insulting him.
29:56Big Lou told me all about Coach's old rage issues.
29:59Who's Big Lou?
30:00Don't ask.
30:01Maybe he saw Dave in that ice bath, and, oh, he got so angry!
30:06Just one problem.
30:07Coach was watching tape all evening with one of his players, Xavier Dunlap.
30:11The kid confirmed it.
30:12Sounds like we have to go back and kick the tires on this alibi.
30:14On it.
30:15Will do.
30:16Oh, no, did you lose something, Lieutenant?
30:24What?
30:25No.
30:28Hey, Elizabeth with a B.
30:30Nice hustle.
30:38Coach?
30:40Coach?
30:41Is that that police lawyer?
30:44Coach, whoa.
30:46Oh, my gosh.
30:47Let me handle that.
30:48I'm winded.
30:50You two are very fast walkers.
30:52Yes.
30:52Well, we have places to be.
30:54Right.
30:54I'm sorry.
30:55I'm just following up on...
30:57Oh, by the way, do either of you know any good orthopedists?
31:02Because my knees are, um, sorry, uh, following up on Dave's murder.
31:08Uh, don't worry.
31:09I know both of your alibis.
31:11Oh, by the way, coach, I've been watching a bit of game tape myself.
31:17It is so exciting.
31:19Squeak, squeak, squeak.
31:21Do, do, do.
31:22Woof.
31:22Woof.
31:23Woof.
31:23Ah.
31:25Swish.
31:26All that stuff.
31:27What game were you and Xavier looking at?
31:31No.
31:31Russell watches so much tape.
31:33It's okay.
31:34I was looking at a cut-up of last week's practice.
31:37So, if that's all you need to know, I've got a lot to do.
31:40Oh, right.
31:41I'm sorry.
31:44Good luck, coach.
31:52What are you doing here, Elspeth?
31:53Well, in the interest of being direct, I'm wondering how much you trust your boyfriend's alibi.
31:58No.
31:58Mm-mm.
31:59Husband, no.
32:01Sweet Leo.
32:02What a rock.
32:04When did this happen?
32:06We got the idea at dinner last night, and we just couldn't let it go.
32:09Oh.
32:09What better way to silence the haters?
32:12We just got back from City Hall.
32:13Congratulations.
32:15It's so romantic.
32:16And it must be such a relief to have that financial security in case anything should happen to him.
32:23I don't know what you're implying.
32:24And as much as I would love to stand here and answer all of your invasive questions, that would be violating my spousal privilege.
32:30Actually, spousal privilege only applies in court testimony, but I guess you fired your lawyer.
32:37Ms. Tassioni.
32:39Hi.
32:39Hi.
32:39I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave.
32:42Pardon me?
32:42You're harassing team personnel, and frankly, you're becoming a distraction.
32:46Ooh, never a good sign when they call us that.
32:48So unless you have a warrant...
32:49Did coach send you out here?
32:50Consider yourself unwelcome in these facilities going forward.
32:54Oh.
32:55Okay.
32:56Oh, sorry.
33:00Swish.
33:02Oh, thank you, sir.
33:11Hello.
33:11Hello.
33:12Hi, is this Stephen Connor?
33:14Yes.
33:15This is a courtesy call, as we may have detected some fraud on your account.
33:20Okay.
33:21I'd love to just run through a few unusual purchases with you if you have a moment.
33:25Did you purchase a bachelorette sash and tiara set for $56.17?
33:31What?
33:32No.
33:32Okay, looks like there may have been a breach.
33:35Let's run through a few more purchases to make sure.
33:37A phallus-shaped pool floatie for $86.05?
33:42Phallus-shaped, no, definitely not.
33:46I am so sorry to hear that.
33:47May I ask, do you have your physical card on your person?
33:50Well, no, I can't actually find my wallet.
33:53So someone must have...
33:54Lieutenant?
33:56You left it unattended on the conference room table after the department Y.
34:00I kept meaning to return it.
34:02And yet, it slipped your mind?
34:04Well, you know, Lieutenant, protocol requires us to report a missing badge.
34:07I know, but I was sure it would turn up, and it's just so much paperwork.
34:12Oh, yeah, it's kind of like the remedial NYPD cybersecurity refresher training online module.
34:22You didn't actually buy a phallus-shaped pool floatie on my card, did you?
34:26No.
34:27That would be fraud.
34:28Well, I trust you take these security matters a bit more seriously going forward.
34:51Dude, where are you buying a super light?
34:53I was at the police station.
34:57What?
34:58What's going on?
35:00Nothing.
35:01Come on, man.
35:02I'm your captain.
35:05Bro, the other day, coach asked me to say that we were watching tape together when Dave died.
35:13He asked you to lie?
35:15Yeah.
35:16He said he was doing some recruiting stuff, and he didn't want them to know.
35:19But the cops, like, figured out we lied.
35:21And now they think it was either him or me.
35:25For real?
35:26Then, dude, you just got to tell them where you were.
35:28I did.
35:29I fell asleep in the players' lounge playing Xbox, and I got nobody to vouch for that.
35:33I'm freaking out.
35:34Okay, all right.
35:35When I talked to them, they were thinking that it was Peyton.
35:38Apparently she had an alibi.
35:40Really?
35:40Because I thought they had, like, forensic evidence or something.
35:45Okay, all right.
35:46When I talked to them, they were thinking that it was Peyton.
35:49Apparently she had an alibi.
35:50Really?
35:51Because I thought they had, like, forensic evidence or something.
35:54Yeah, apparently they found her makeup on Dave's body because they were asking him like I framed her.
36:00How would you know what kind of makeup Peyton wears?
36:02Right?
36:03Like, maybe look at the guy who lives with her.
36:05Wow.
36:05Do you really think that coach could have killed Dave?
36:09Maybe he framed Peyton because he's too afraid to break up with her.
36:11Before we go out there, I want to say something.
36:24Been a hard week.
36:25Hmm?
36:25We lost Dave Coppins.
36:28I know that tragedy is hanging over you.
36:31It's, um...
36:33It's hanging over me.
36:35So, no one would blink if you guys went out there today and played like crap.
36:43But you know what we don't do here at St. Ivins?
36:45We don't let adversity deflate us.
36:49Because we stay in the game.
36:53Do you guys want to go out there and shove all those expectations in their damn faces?
37:00Come on.
37:01You guys have done the work.
37:03Now, I want to see you all go out and play the game the way I know you can.
37:08As Dave would want you to.
37:10So, get out there and win this game for Dave.
37:13All right?
37:13Come on, let's go.
37:14Come on, let's go.
37:18Let's go.
37:20Let's go, Ryan.
37:21Ready?
37:21Let's go, Ryan.
37:40Whoop!
37:42I always wondered what kind of visibility these mascots have.
37:46But, turns out, you can see pretty much everything.
37:48You cannot be in here.
37:50Yes, I know.
37:50However, Thingy can go wherever he...
37:55She?
37:57Thingy can go wherever Thingy wants.
38:00And did Thingy just witness you planting evidence?
38:04Yep.
38:06Babe, where?
38:09Oh, boy.
38:11Let's turn to the replay!
38:13Huh!
38:14Huh!
38:15Shall we tune out the noise?
38:18That was your philosophy.
38:19That was your philosophy.
38:20But when Peyton said that your own players were talking about you to the media, you had to know which ones.
38:27So you bogged your own locker room.
38:28And to think, I defended you all through Tapegate.
38:30Late one night, you listened to the day's recordings and you heard something you didn't like.
38:42You heard Dave confronting Peyton, but more importantly, you heard all the stuff that no one would say to your face and that pissed you off.
38:52It triggered your old rage issues.
38:56You had been lifting weights, getting fit for your lady, so when you threw something at Dave that night in the ice bath, you didn't know your own strength. You killed him.
39:05You have no way of knowing this.
39:08We know you tried to frame one of your own players just now.
39:11Not cool, Coach.
39:12You mind if you show us your hands?
39:15Well, sure. I'm not wearing any makeup, but nice try.
39:18Oh, no. I just need to put handcuffs on her.
39:22You know what they say. It's not the crime. It's the cover-up.
39:28Hey, thanks for the help.
39:35All I did was ask a good friend a few questions.
39:37Well, when you're done playing ball and looking for a job in criminal justice, give me a call.
39:43I guess St. Ivins needs a new coach.
39:47There's always next season. Well, not for all of us.
39:51I was wrong about you. You're plenty confrontational when you need to be.
40:05Sorry about all of this.
40:08No, you're not. You should lean into that.
40:21Officer?
40:35Good work helping Elizabeth on this one.
40:38And, uh, thanks again for the help on that cyber course.
40:42Of course, sir. It's just a fraction of the things I learn from you every day.
40:46You'll give me a heads up if I ever turn into that old guy that no one wants to tell when to move on.
40:52Not if I'm in an ice bath. I won't.
40:54Fair enough.
41:04You've reached the tip line of New York Confidential. Give us the tea.
41:09It's Elsbeth. E-L-S-B-E-T-H. Have some integrity.
41:18Taking a page from Peyton Ramsey's playbook, I see.
41:21I don't know why it bothered me so much.
41:23Oh, no one likes losing control of their narrative.
41:26The media companies aren't always kind to women connected to powerful men.
41:31Even men like Alec Bloom.
41:33Yeah, I really like Alec.
41:36I'm just not so sure I'm cut out for mayoral politics.
41:40I'm not like Peyton.
41:42I don't know.
41:44Yeah, she made a real Cinderella run, but I'm not sure we'll be hearing much from Mrs. Russell Willoughby anymore.
41:51My guest this week is the founder of Paramore Cosmetics, which recently sold to Elmem for an eye-popping nine figures.
42:03Peyton Ramsey, welcome to the podcast.
42:05Thank you for having me, Ava.
42:07Now, you developed your patented concealer formula after the police accused you of a murder that was actually committed by your ex-husband.
42:15I've always loved makeup, but being wrongfully accused really showed me that there's a gap in the market for high-end smudge-free products.
