Chapter 2: How does Nick Wright plan to address gambling scandals?
Thank you, Dan. I don't believe people get to see this side of you that often.
Yeah, so is that a shot at the viewership numbers of the pod? Because if that's charming, they get to see it quite often. It's three days a week, mass platformed. But on that note, this is kind of a perfect synergy because you're talking about the show getting younger. I'm about to make the show feel a hell of a lot older because I am not doing the podcast. Greg's going to love this.
with my son for the next few weeks because he is out because as of yesterday, he's on paternity leave, which means Greg Cody, I'm with you on team grandpa. You and me, I need to brush up on the Ethel Lerman news because we're not getting younger boys. We're getting older. Grandpa Nick Wright. Grandpa Nick Wright. How about that? I know, man.
It's got to be so confusing to people that just casually drop into this show or my show or the pod or whatever. If I get referenced as a grandfather and they're like, wait. The guy with the gambling problem and the jewelry, that guy's a grandpa. Nobody understands it. I'll be honest, I don't totally understand it. But it is what it is. And so, yeah, so that's the big news.
That's the as of two days ago. And I got to think, I think I'm, I think the last grandfather on, no, because Wilbon or Kornheiser, one of them's got to be, right? I'm not taking, I'm not being, that wasn't me being fresh. Like, I don't know they're the, but I was going to say, am I the first grandfather on daytime sports TV since your dad?
Okay, so you're not talking Lee Corso category. You want the grandpa. Hold on. I thought you were feuding with Pablo and Mina.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the Nico Harrison firing?
Now you want the grandpa demo? I want it all.
I want it all. And by the way, listen, I'm not feuding. I'm not feuding with Mina. And I thought Mina's tweet this weekend was pitch perfect and really well done. And I'm very excited. I mean, on pins and needles, refreshing the feed for the only honest journalist left in America for the long-form episode on, so, huh, what is that Stephen A. Solitaire app all about?
Listen, no sacred cows, I'm sure. I'm sure Pablo's furiously working on it. And listen, I know he's got a lot of irons in the fire, but I mean, it feels like, It's like, is it gambling? Is it not sports people? Listen, the Phil Mickelson texts are great and I'm all in for it. It gets a little stickier to do this story, but you know, the journalism goes wherever the story is.
I'm excited to hear the episode. Hi, Greg.
How you doing, Nick? Hey, do you have the over or under on the delivery date for your?
Well, no, I would have. I mean, yeah, I mean, that that that bets in. She was she was a few days late. My wife's out there.
Two days ago. Wait a minute. What kind of question is that? He just said as of two days ago. He said it like a minute ago. Guys, that kind of thing. Don't worry about it.

Chapter 4: How do fans react to the Mavericks' recent decisions?
I thought it was a pending birth. I didn't know it was. Greg, it's fine. It's fine, Greg. Don't worry about it, buddy. I appreciate it. He's just asking, and you know what? I was going to play along. I was going to act like, you know, I had the over and I lost. I knew it was a mistake, but it doesn't matter. Greg, us old folks got to stick together. I hear you. Us old folks got to stick together.
I hear that. You look like my grandson. He's a young kid. What the hell is going on? I know. This is unbelievable. So that's the news, Dan.
Congratulations. Thank you. I am thrilled for you, and I didn't realize that the Poppy Lane is open on being a grandpa publicly, growing up in front of sports fans as a grandpa. But I actually want to tackle the thicket of the gambling stuff with you becauseā
You are somebody who must be fascinated, like really riveted by everything that's happening here from the amateurism surrounding Terry Rozier and Chauncey Phillips and just how buffoonish all of this is. The FBI, the NBA investigation, the mafia, all of it seems pretty dumb. Then you have the baseball.
scandal which gets less attention and i'm not sure why when you're talking about you're going to get lifetime bans there as well one of them from one of the great closers uh in the game how how do you take the map and then there's the and the poker piece which again i don't want pablo knock knocking on my door but um and maybe i should respond to some of his text messages bad job by me but i mean i like
I read those indictments, the full indictments. And I'm like, oh, I recognize at least two of those names. And so the poker piece was real. Those are not games that I play in, but those are... But those are, you know, six degrees of Kevin Bacon, we'd be a couple degrees.
But when you're reading the details on this, even the most amateur of poker players would know that those games were rigged in a way that's not sophisticated.
Oh, I disagree with that. I disagree with that. I think the way those games were rigged was super sophisticated. I think that any... I think that any...
you know person that regularly plays poker for real money knows hey one of the skills of being someone who plays cards for money is being able to sense out if the game's on the level or not but there's so many there are a lot of ways people dan and i know we can get to the the sports betting piece of this but just on the poker piece because this is like super I'm really in that.

Chapter 5: What personal experiences does Nick Wright share about gambling?
So, I mean, I kind of caught him, but there's nothing I could do. Like in rounders, you just grabbed his hand? Was there a hanger? It was a private game in a casino, but it was private. It was in a casino. James Bond? I shouldn't have played. As soon as I got there and they're like, oh, there's a bigger game upstairs you can play in, I should have been like, that's a bad idea. But I was an idiot.
And I was winning a very little bit. And then I told them, I was like, hey, I got one more round, then I got to leave.
and second to last hand was one of these setup hands like that you hear about but those happen those happen in real those happen just organically or it could be a setup where i get aces someone else has queens all the money goes in pre and the queen comes out and i lose like god dog it you know bad luck and so that i did not know it was rigged because of that it was like it's bad luck
and I left and then about three minutes after I left, when I go to get my wife who's playing blackjack, I'm like, oh man, I left my sweatshirt up there and I went back And as I'm walking back, I hear them all talking about it and laughing. I'm like, God dog it, bad job by me. It's like, it's a bad job by me. It's like, it's a bad job by me. But I did that to myself.
I could have played in a safer game. The sentence, though, I played in a game that was rigged in Milan. It really did. It did make him sound like James Bond, did it not? Yes. Even though he's the sucker in the story.
Yeah, no, I'm the sucker. Yeah, I'm the sucker.
The other part of this, though, the OK, outside of the poker and you just you took out Stephen A. Smith and you took out.
I didn't take out anybody. I'm just waiting for the journal. The only journalist left in America to, you know, listen, maybe that'll make cocktail parties a little uncomfortable at times. I just want the truth. But go ahead.
Pablo Torre, do you have anything else for him? You've been very critical of his award winning podcast.

Before we get to our bet and before I get your thoughts on Nico Harrison being let go, because you just can't let a guy you're going to fire eight months later make that trade, Nick.
Well, I don't think they had any idea they were going to fire him. And I heard your guys blasting Mark Cuban. That's so unfair. And it's not even like I'm a huge Cuban fan, even though it does appear he and I have very similar feelings on the podcast. But I do think that if I had my family home that my family's lived in for 100 years and it's like, you know what, it's time to sell.
The market's great. And I sell it to an otherwise seemingly normal person. And then three months later, they lighted on fire. I don't think it'd be fair for my son to be like, why didn't you see that coming, Dad? That's where we grew up. I'm like, well, I didn't think they were going to burn it to the ground for sport.
I don't think Cuban could have saw they're going to trade Luka Doncic in the middle of the night because Nico Harrison is so bothered by the fact that there's someone in the organization more powerful than him.
Yeah, your home doesn't have fans, though, Nick. Like, the only people who care about the home are the people living in the home at the time. The franchise has millions and millions of people who care about it.
My home has fans.

Chapter 8: How does the episode conclude regarding the future of the Mavericks?
Oh, there he is. Oh, that's a good-looking fellow. You're right.
You can't imagine how happy you've made him. How much is this bet going to be worth?
No, so listen, it's not even a bet. Because I'll be in the clear. Because I still feel bad. And, Dan, you don't have to put anything up. If the Chiefs beat the Broncos by at least three and a half, I'll give the shipping container plus Louis $2,500 to distribute amongst themselves. Per person? No, relax, Cody. And, Cody, you're about to be cut out. From the beginning. You're really on a thin ice.
What I would like to do with Dan, but I don't know if now we have time to do it because it's such great content. I would like to do a Super Bowl champion draft. Me versus Dan. And whomever ends up with the Super Bowl champion, the other person's got to give them the white Corvette. Yes, I like this. That's what I want to do. But do we have, I don't know how much time you have left in the show.
Do we have time to pull that off?
Yes, I think we can.
We're not going to do the draft right now.
We will do the draft next week. Next time you're on, we will do it, but we will commit to that bet. But right now, what you're committing to is the shipping containers rooting five people just because there was confusion about this last time.
Yeah, it's the four people there today plus Louis, so it's 500 bucks a man is what they'll get. Wow.
