And what happens is they don't want to get caught.
And there is history.
And in episode four of the podcast, the bookie at the center of all this even says to me, oh, yeah, I have plenty of athletes.
I've had athletes who have shared an account with a buddy or the buddy is what's called the beard.
The person who is making the bets at the direction of the famous person who doesn't want to get caught.
Right.
Because it is illegal in the United States, well, it's illegal across the United States to use an illegal bookie.
And more importantly, Major League Baseball has very specific rules.
Not only can you not bet on baseball, that's the big no-no, and I think everyone knows that one, but you can't use a bookie.
You can't use an illegal bookmaker.
Oh, yes.
And I am so pleased you brought that up because episode three was an episode that I really wanted to get done.
Because when you're telling these stories, you're kind of working on your assumption that the reader or the listener knows these things.
And what the 30 for 30 podcast, The Betrayal of Shohei Ohtani, has allowed us at ESPN to do is really explain the universe in which Ipe and Shohei were growing up and operating within.
so yes you get to hear the interview with ipe but in episode three in particular we asked this big question who is ipe and at the same time who is shohei and you realize these two men had very different ways of growing up to your point shohei became very isolated he was an absolute phenom at a very young age it's kind of like lebron everyone in japan knew this is going to be
the kid who really goes places.
And so he teams up with Ipe when he's very young.
They met at the Nippon Ham Fighters, which is a baseball club in Japan.
And Ipe was actually an interpreter for American baseball players who came to Japan to play.
And so the American baseball players' lockers were next to Shohei Ohtani's lockers.
