As we put it, always following directions, whatever you want to put. And have a good time with that. Yeah. But this week, Jimmy, oh my goodness. Last week's was so goddamn fun. Tommy Morrison was crazy.
Starting point is 00:02:38 I really loved doing that one. That was more than we could have expected it to be. The story just keeps unfolding and unfolding and unfolding. And it's stuff that I had no idea about. No. When we do these every week and we dig as deep as you do, we dig as deep as you do. When you dig as deep as you do and you get these things out, it's like, how are these not more mainstream? How are these not covered every goddamn day?
Starting point is 00:03:04 The media should be well thank christ they don't because if they did we wouldn't be that's true we wouldn't there'd be no need for us but there would have been no need for us so we would just it would have been fine those fuckers could be taking whoever's listening to us it's true i'm telling you those that's a story tommy morrison's famous guy was in a movie was heavyweight champ and then he got hiv and so like he was in the news for all these big moments right there was all of this stuff happening he's beating kids moms and biting this lady and that picture of him at the end oh that was that mug shot that was horrific wasn't it it doesn't it looks like every dude that stands on a highway off ramp begging for cash it looks like you put like uh one of those
Starting point is 00:03:41 uh like the air pumps that you do like an air mattress and you put it on reverse and you just sucked out anything he had sucked all the heavyweight material heavyweight sucked him into a fucking middleweight he was fighting bernard hopkins by the last picture forget about it just a soggy just a sad mess and at the same time just bragging about how healthy he was the entire time and then me i'm a picture of health and his mullet falls out that's just fucking that's gorgeous. There's nothing, there's nothing sadder than a redneck that loses his mullet. That's truly like a Samson moment right there. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:04:12 That's their power. That's their power. Oh, no, not my mullet. Not my mullet. He lost all his 40 chugging. Next thing you know, the transmission's going to go on the El Camino and forget about it. On the El Camino, on the house. That is true this was a this was a fully mobile home-laden episode no doubt that for people in other countries that will give that's america what we just no doubt that was like middle america yeah
Starting point is 00:04:38 we have tonight is not middle america this is like kind of unique to sort of unique to america but it's it's a crazy story this is one a lot of times last couple weeks we did like marvin barnes we did tommy morrison and both of these guys are very famous marvin barnes a famous guy who's on that 30 for 30 on espn so he's been put into the spotlight tommy morrison obviously is in a rocky movies heavyweight champ says we all knew who he was. Yeah. These are very famous guys that we kind of have an idea of their general story and then you listen
Starting point is 00:05:09 and we go, oh wow, I didn't know that, that, that, and that happened too. This one is one where I'm like, I never even heard of this guy. I don't know who the hell he is
Starting point is 00:05:16 and the story's insane. These are my favorites. This is what I like too because it's not, it's not about like this, the fame thing. It's about this, like actually a crazy, just unfolding of a shit life.
Starting point is 00:05:28 That had athletic prowess. That made it to the upper echelon and the pinnacle of the sport he played, and it all came crashing down. At some point, somebody made his life into a nice big shitburger patty. Boy, let me tell you something. And then toss that thing on the fucking 50-gallon drum that's salt and half grill. Yeah, that's exactly right. Just so sad.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Like a Tijuana taco. The shopping cart with a homemade propane setup. I love that. That's ingenuity, though. That's a great grill, yeah. That's ingenuity, though. That's amazing. That's ingenuity, though. That's a great grill, yeah. That's ingenuity, though. That's amazing. That's homeless desperation at its finest.
Starting point is 00:06:07 If you ever go to Mexico, if you see anybody with a shopping cart that they've made into some sort of cooking device, apparatus, buy whatever they have. Because it's going to be delicious. If they have any kind of meats they're going to make, it's a dog, they'll still make it delicious. It might have some chrome fucking coating chips on it from the fucking melting off. I think it's going's a dog. We'll still make it delicious. It might have some chrome fucking coating chips on it from the fucking melting off. I think it's going to be good. I'm sure it reverse
Starting point is 00:06:30 smelts that fucking cart in some way or another. If you haven't seen what we're talking about, Google grocery cart barbecue grill. It's fucking crazy what homeless people will do. Homeless? These aren't even homeless people. These are just people that are
Starting point is 00:06:45 entrepreneurs on the street. These are culinary entrepreneurs. Putting square marks on a burger or whatever the fuck they're grilling. It's crazy. But tonight, let's get into this guy here. Alright. Keith Wright is our
Starting point is 00:07:01 subject. I love it. That's a good, solid name. It is a good, solid name and he shares this name with a few others that we'll get into a little bit later. Maybe his father? Actually, I don't believe so, but we don't know because his father, never around. Weird. His father, I mean, gone before he was born. We're back to that full fucking... Gone before he was born.
Starting point is 00:07:19 They either stick around and beat the shit out of him, or they just disappear. Either way, you're going to be a criminal. What's worse, do you think? Would you rather disappear or be beat the shit out of them or they just disappear either way you're gonna be a criminal what's worse do you think would you rather disappear it doesn't matter it still ends up behind bars it still ends up bad it really does it really does well i mean there's the yeah the tommy morrison these are the two ends of the spectrum yeah disappear before you're born stick around to torment you and your type it's stick around to beat the fuck out of the whole family of your brothers your your mom at least it taught him how to fight it that's because without that i mean he may have been a football player yeah no rocky without you know what that's a great point because his dad stuck around beat
Starting point is 00:07:56 the shit out of him taught him how to fight he went into boxing had he not had his dad he may have gone down this road because he was gonna go go play football. That's true. He was going to go play for Emporia State. That's correct. If I remember correctly. So Keith Wright, he's born June 8th, 1980. He's a younger guy. He's so close to my age. Yeah, he's right around here.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Right around. He's born in Santa Clara, California. Beautiful place. Growing up, holy shit, did this guy have a childhood. Really? This is like straight out of the wire again. Fantastic. He is like, you remember Wallace,
Starting point is 00:08:30 the kid they killed that raised, he had like eight brothers and sisters that he would throw out juice boxes every morning to them and they lived in a boarded up building. Some dilapidated shit. Yeah, boarded up. It was an abandoned house that had the, you know, if animal trapped,
Starting point is 00:08:44 call this number sign on it and shit. Like, that's this guy's upbringing, basically. I never saw The Wire. Okay, well, this... I saw a couple episodes, but I never got real... I should absolutely... It's tremendous. It's the best.
Starting point is 00:08:54 It's Baltimore, right? I have it on DVD. It's great. I'll give it to you. All right. Yeah, it's Baltimore. It's on HBO Go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:58 So if you want, it's amazing. Listen, I don't have an HBO Go password. If anybody wants to tweet me, let us do that. We'll get it. Somebody DM Jimmy there. Sliding my DMs. I don't know what that term is i know it's flirting whatever father completely gone okay he grows up uh with his mom no no dad in southern california that's not so bad it's okay they moved to palo alto california at age six he grows up in and out of the sacramento area what what place is in Palo Alto?
Starting point is 00:09:25 That's like... Is it UCLA? No, I think that's Stanford. Stanford. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right. You're right. Up in that direction. So he moves there when he's six. They end up in Sacramento at some point here. That sucks. It's in Sacramento. It's real inner city shithole too. It's really bad. Mother complete crackhead. Surprise, surprise. Sacramento's a shithole. It's a shithole. It sounds beautiful, and it's the capital of California. It's the capital. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:09:49 But it's not fucking California. It's not great. No. It's more like meth-cooking central California than it is like northern San Francisco wine country. It may as well be fucking Fresno. It's no good. It's something like that. It may as well be fucking Fresno. It's no good. It's something like that. It's basically fucking Reno by the sea.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Come to Sacramento. Reno by the sea. Tourism board of Sacramento is going to love us. Hashtag Sacramento tourism. It's no fucking, it's no LA. It's no Santa Clarita. That's what it isn't. It's not fucking Phoenix. It's no fucking, it's no LA. It's no Santa Clarita. That's what it isn't. It's not fucking Phoenix.
Starting point is 00:10:28 No. It's a dump. Yeah, so anyway, so his mother's a crackhead. It's Phoenix with a beach. It's Phoenix. That's what it is.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Do they even have a beach or is it a little more, I guess it's kind of by the beach. It's inland, I guess. Reno, by the sea. Right,
Starting point is 00:10:39 okay, so go on. Reno on the Pacific. I gotta call, I'm gonna call Reno tomorrow morning. It's Reno with seagulls that eat diapers. That's what it is.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Diapers and crack rocks that are left behind by Keith Wright's mother, apparently. I love it. By age seven, she would have him going to the corner to buy her crack. Seven years old. She's already fucked that kid up. Oh, he's fucked, basically. He's completely ruined. He's ruined.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Listen, I have ruined my child in a different way, where he picked up my phone one day and was just scrolling through pictures. A friend of mine, okay, I'll get it real quickly. A friend of mine was sick and was telling me that he was going to start coffee injections into his buttocks. And I, being a comic, I thought I was going to be funny and send him a picture of somebody
Starting point is 00:11:30 else jamming food in their ass and tell him that the coffee is a gateway drug. And I found this chick with a corncob in her ass. Oh, my God. And I took the picture and I sent it to him, whatever. But I didn't delete it from my phone. And my kid is scrolling through my pictures and goes, Daddy, what's this? So my kid essentially is whatever this guy is and goes, Daddy, what's this? So my kid essentially is whatever this guy is.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Okay, I know your kid swings. Wherever we get to. I fucked my kid up too. But I never centered my crack rocks at seven. Let's just hope he makes the Olympics before
Starting point is 00:11:54 he kills a series of women. Before he kills a series of college students. That way we can do an episode on him. Let's just hope that happens. I can't wait. I'll push him into athletics.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Well, this kid is ruined. At age nine, he's going down to buy a crack. $20 worth of crack for his mom. Unbelievable. His mom had a nice little score, I guess. She's going to get a little $20 deal. That's terrible. This kid knows what $20 worth of crack looks like.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Yeah. That's too bad. He's arguing with the people. Like, ah, motherfucker. That ain't right. That ain't right. Pull that scale out again, bitch. I know what an eight ball looks like.
Starting point is 00:12:27 That's a 10. Give me two of those for 20. What the fuck you doing, man? Matter of fact, give me two for three. Give me three for two. Because you just tried to fuck me. You just tried to fuck me. I want three for two anyway.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Don't short me, motherfucker. Can you imagine the foul mouth this kid needs to have at that age? And later on, too, it's funny, too. We'll get into a coach that talks about that, where he actually asks the coach not to cuss or some shit. Really? Don't curse. Why? Because it reminds me of my childhood when I was buying Coke for my mom.
Starting point is 00:12:53 He's going down to buy a $20 crack rock, and he gets robbed. Of course he does. He gets robbed. This is on Meadowview Drive in Sacramento. So if anybody in Sacramento, shout out. Picture little Keith Wright getting his $20 crack money robbed on that street. So you can drive right down that street. You probably already know the street. It's probably the most popular crack street in the town.
Starting point is 00:13:15 It's got to be. It's probably Fremont Street. We have an in their own words on this robbery here. He says in their own words, quote, that's when I really lost my childhood. I have come a long way. A very long way. I don't think anybody on this team has been through what I've been through as a child. No, I don't think they have. Probably not.
Starting point is 00:13:34 He said that in 2005. That's a gold quote. He said that in 2005 in a fluff piece of epic proportions. Unbelievable. And it's terrible, too, because it's another one. Fucking journalists. Okay, guys. Journalists.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Yeah. When you title a fucking article, stop it with the wordplay. Just stop right goddamn now. It's not clever. It's the same idea everyone else had. If you have that idea, then don't use that idea. Use your 10th idea that's not good because that's an idea that's original. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:06 That's the writing tool that you use for comedy. Yes. You toss out your first three or four ideas and then go with your next one. When you get weird. Right. When you're like, that's strange. That's when it's funny.
Starting point is 00:14:17 This is called Life Headed in the Right Direction. W-R-I-G-H-T. You bet your fucking ass. You pun fucking throwing bastards you pun bastard this is from the East Valley Tribune in 2005
Starting point is 00:14:28 when he signed with the Cardinals East Valley Tribune from Mesa, Arizona Mesa, yeah bastard so this fucking piece later on
Starting point is 00:14:35 that son of a bitch that wrote that lives in the same town as I live in that's embarrassing yeah and this was this was going on just a few short years ago
Starting point is 00:14:42 well 11 but this was from 2005. We're still back when he was a kid here. We're in the 80s in Sacramento at this point. We're in 87. We're about 90 right now. At this point, he figures out how not to get robbed. He starts getting streetwise because he's like,
Starting point is 00:14:56 all right, I'm sure his mom beat the shit out of him. An angry crackhead, and you go back to her. You walk in that door. She expects crack at that point, and you're just shrugging your shoulders with your pockets turned inside out. She's going to whoop your fucking ass. A crackhead going through withdrawal.
Starting point is 00:15:13 And your kid comes in, Sorry, Ma. Sorry! Cocaine! A toothless crackhead. Eddie Johnson pops out of the bedroom. Did he bring the cocaine? No.
Starting point is 00:15:23 It was a fucking disaster. Because I'm sure he was roaming bring the coke? No. Fucking disaster. I'm sure he was roaming around somewhere at that point. Positively. So at 10 he decides, you know what? I didn't want to get robbed. In this game I see my mom's in the... I'm going to start selling crack. That's a good idea. At 10, you want to get
Starting point is 00:15:40 into the crack selling game. So this guy is a tenured... This is a fucking Spike Lee movie at this point. Then mom gets to do it for free. Yeah, or at least he can make a little money off mom because i'm thinking yeah it's another thing he's like i'm going down there i'm buying her crack i'm not getting shit out of this may as well just be like crack honey i need some crack yeah i'll go in the back room i've got some back there for you yeah that'll be twenty dollars please i'm sure he was charging her this is fantastic so yeah kid, he's selling crack at 10. At this point, like I said, this is a Spike Lee movie.
Starting point is 00:16:09 John Turturro's questioning him dressed as a police detective. It's very fucking bad. He gets to the point now where he's like a 10, 11-year-old kid. He's living in the fucking inner city. He's living in very impoverished circumstances. And the role model that he has to look up to is a complete drug addict. Is a crack addict. That is completely abandoning
Starting point is 00:16:30 her parental duties. I assume by now his role models are whoever he's found. Yeah. Whoever robbed him lately. Whoever's the best crack dealer. Now that guy. Whoever robbed him most recently, he's like, that guy knows how to rob motherfuckers. That's what I'm going to learn how to do.
Starting point is 00:16:45 You're right. I've got to get on this, man. I've got to get on it. So he starts at this point in school now. He is gambling on dice in school. Oh, my God. He's like 11 years old. This is like fifth grade.
Starting point is 00:16:59 He's gambling about $300, $400 a day on dice in school. He's a hard drug selling gambling and bookie essentially too. With a knot in his pocket. Unbelievable. And I'm thinking too, it's like 1990-1991 he's got the newest Jordans probably.
Starting point is 00:17:17 Rocking a white socks hat. With the new Chronic CD and his fucking Walkman. I'm picturing a gold Nike medallion or something like that. With a fucking marijuana leaf somewhere. Yeah, yeah. At 11. I'm sure he did too. So all of this wonderful behavior
Starting point is 00:17:34 at this point. He also too. He's also robbing convenience stores. Doing shit like that. Robbing places. Robbing people. He's a fucking 11, 12 years old. With a crackly voice. He's a little 11, 12 years old. With a crackly voice. He's a little hellion. Hey, give me all your money.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Hey, all your money. Probably not, though, because he's humongous by the time. Really? He's fully grown. He's 6'2", about 290, 300 pounds. Jesus Christ. So he's probably fucking 6 foot tall. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Too fucking 40 at this point. At 13. At 13. Go, give me your money. Yeah. He's a big guy, I'm sure. So by the age of 12, he ends up getting arrested for some of his behaviors, drug dealing, robbery, all of these things. That was how old I was when I stole that fucking...
Starting point is 00:18:13 When you stole the Tough Man game? When I stole Tough Man for Sega. Jesus Christ. But he should have sold crack. Right. Because at least he had $400 a day to gamble. Was he rocking like a big high-top fade or some shit? We don't have any.
Starting point is 00:18:26 We have no photographic evidence, but I'm sure he had a nice high fade. With that little line on the right side. Oh, yeah, I see. Yeah, I think he'd go with it. Basically, in your mind, he goes to a kid and plays. He sees House Party 2 and says, essentially, I need to look like that. Rocking some cross colors or some shit. You could do that.
Starting point is 00:18:45 That'd be good for him, I think. It's a good look for a young man in 1992. Yeah, but you do stand out when you're robbing a liquor store with cross colors on. That's true, with giant orange fucking pants on. And a big cross across the chest with green and yellow and shit. A big bright yellow Carl Canai shirt. You like Carl Canai? That's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:19:05 And some big, giant, tongued British nightshakers. Christ almighty. What the hell is wrong with that? And the early 90s
Starting point is 00:19:13 are coming back now. You can't get a pair of shorts that don't look like you're from 1991. Around this time, it's ridiculous. When we were kids,
Starting point is 00:19:21 when our parents were our ages, the 70s started to creep back in. It's because the people that control the money right now, that's what their childhood was, and they're going to start bringing that shit in. And that's the people in charge of shit.
Starting point is 00:19:34 That's the people in charge of making things. People in their mid-30s have a little bit of expendable dough. Assholes. I don't want to dress like I did when I was 13. I don't want to dress like that. I don't want to remember 13. I was an asshole. I was a jerk-off back then. I don't want to see it. I don't want to dress like that. I don't want to remember 13. I was an asshole. I was a jerk off back then. I don't want to see it. I don't want to hear about it. I love New York terms. Christ almighty. So anyway, at this point, he's busted dealing drugs, robbing convenience stores, being just a menace to society, being a general Spike Lee character.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Yeah, he was. He was arrested for Spike Leary, which is an interesting charge only in certain cities. He spends two years in juvie at this point. Goes to a juvenile corrections facility in California. It's a Sacramento basically reform home, but like an in-house you know, nasty little
Starting point is 00:20:19 juvie deal. He's there for two years. I mean, that's a good stint at that age. That's a bid at that age. 12 to 14. You're talking about a seventh of your life. He probably wasn't even jerking off when he was in it. By the time he came out, he was ready to... Fully blown loads.
Starting point is 00:20:36 That's a big change. He came out a different kind of cat. He came out needing to shave and shave. Yeah, needing to shave and bust one out before he fucking hits the world for his day. He found armpit hair in prison. That's crazy. That's what I mean.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Imagine the shenanigans he learned in there from the other young, upstanding young gentleman. No doubt. So he gets out after two years. Okay, so he's two years. You figure 12 to 14, he's in there. He's going to have to get out, try to be clean up a little bit.
Starting point is 00:21:05 You don't want to go back there. Not Keith Wright. He immediately, immediately, less than a month, he's arrested for transporting drugs across state lines. Wow. So, I mean, less than a month,
Starting point is 00:21:17 he's even stepping everything up. He's trafficking now. He's trafficking. That's what he learned from being in jail. He went in there and they were like, man, you can't just be slinging on the corner you gotta fucking take it to another state
Starting point is 00:21:27 you ever seen glow yeah you gotta take this is Reno by the sea motherfucker you take it from here to there you go to Portland
Starting point is 00:21:35 you go to Wyoming take it away from the sea god damn it you start a fucking what do they call the fucking Mexican mafia thing cartel
Starting point is 00:21:44 cartel let's start a cartel how do I miss a six Mexican mafia thing? The cartel. Cartel. Let's start a cartel. How do I miss a six-letter word? Let's start a cartel. That's what he's doing. A 14-year-old cartel. The right cartel. Jesus, what a mess.
Starting point is 00:21:54 So he's given options at this point. The judge gives him an option. Not nice when you're 14, you get options, okay? Yeah. He can go back to juvie, where he came from, where he was for two years, which is probably horrible. Yeah. Or he cannot be in the custody of the California Youth Authority,
Starting point is 00:22:10 and he can instead go to a place called the Arizona Boys Ranch. Oh, boy. Which is north of Tucson, Arizona. It's a very, very well-known place in Arizona. This is a well-known place. They did national stories about it. It's very big. Look this up.
Starting point is 00:22:23 This was a huge, huge huge scandal he may have wanted to just go the fuck back to juvie after we know now what we know well it's really odd how he reacts to this bill let's talk about the arizona boys ranch for a second where he's sent now this was a place basically if you've ever watched an episode of maury not a paternity test episode a bad teenager episode where the kid comes out and they're like, man, fuck my mama. I don't give a shit. What the fuck she think? I'm going to sell crack and I'm going to fuck all the guys I want because I don't care.
Starting point is 00:22:51 I don't care if I get AIDS. I want a baby. I'm 12 and I want a baby. I don't use protection. I'm 12 and I want a baby. Your trailer trash little piece of garbage. The mother's just sitting there going, I just tried to make her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and she punches me in the
Starting point is 00:23:07 face I don't understand it I even cut the crust off she throws it in my face so that you know those and then they bring out the guy who's like in
Starting point is 00:23:14 military fatigues and he's like I'm gonna stick your head up your own ass and I'm gonna make you fart out a twinkie and say some crazy shit and then he drags
Starting point is 00:23:22 him off to some detention facility for two weeks where he like makes him off to some detention facility for two weeks where he like makes him do crazy calisthenics and yells at him in a military-esque environment. With no gun.
Starting point is 00:23:31 This is that but for four years. Holy shit. This is that but worse. So he could go to juvie for two more years. Well I think it was
Starting point is 00:23:40 the sentences were the same but he could either do it here or you could do it there. Now here this is actually considered school too okay that's the difference you can this is actually when you get done with this you have your diploma you get credited yeah you're going to school too this isn't like a juvenile detention center which then you're kind of shit so so you're gonna go to a place where instead of the kids picking on you in high school you're gonna go to a place where the adults pick on the adults are gonna be absolutely horrific to you and they are they've lived life lessons
Starting point is 00:24:10 they know how to get to your fucking right to your core absolutely that place is horrible it's and and the students here the students or prisoners whatever the fuck you want to call them at this point they're woken up at 4 a.m the wards of the state 4 a.m wards of the state were woken up at 4 a.m for two hours of intense physical exercise yeah training as they called it which is basically military he's a soldier yeah he's a soldier uh they learned 16 but they also learned how to lay tile and do electrical work hey they got they're getting trades apprenticeships in this fucking getting trades so they're like we're going to teach you how to be a soldier and mexican those are the two things you need to learn how to be right now you're gonna be able to be on one of those fucking shows where
Starting point is 00:24:53 they flip houses no fucking problem man and this guy's a huge guy he could have been a character on one of those shows he chose the wrong path we'll get into his path in a minute here but uh so he still hasn't even played sports yet. This is how fucked up his childhood is. We're about 20-something minutes into this episode. He has not fucking stepped on a field. Hasn't touched a fucking ball. We can't even get there.
Starting point is 00:25:15 The only thing round he's touched is a fucking crack rock. That's it. And he's touched a lot of those. This was a very military yes sir, no sir type of thing. And at first he didn't like it obviously because he's kind of from you know a crack selling environment it's a little looser in the crack selling world uh but then he at the after a while he said it's the best thing that ever happened to me he said uh sometimes they would make you move a pile of sand for 10 feet for
Starting point is 00:25:40 no reason and he said that that built pride in him oh my god that sounds horrible but yeah somehow he took pride in that move sand 10 feet move that sand from there to there for no reason okay it's in the way over there people are tripping over it put it over here put it over here now while he's in his senior year here hold on i've never even thought about that as a punishment i'm gonna go get about 500 pounds a punishment. I'm going to go get about 500 pounds of sand and I'm going to fucking make my kid do that.
Starting point is 00:26:09 That's brilliant. That's like an old school military prison trick. That is brilliant. I saw that in some Robert Redford movie where they made him move a pile of rocks
Starting point is 00:26:14 from on it. Oh yeah, the last castle. It's like to break your spirit and you know to just fuck with you. And to make you sore
Starting point is 00:26:20 when you wake up. Because as you're doing it you're going but why? I just don't understand. If somebody makes you even if somebody made you suck their dick at least you know why you're doing it you know what the intended result is here you're like there's nothing we're not there's nothing here either it's all desert we're in oracle arizona it's tucson what are we doing here so when he's a senior he goes, we'll get into where he goes,
Starting point is 00:26:47 but in 1998, this Arizona boy's ranch, a 16-year-old boy died. Yes, he did. And it turned out that they were using exercise as punishment in the heat while he was complaining he was sick, and the nurse said he was faking and to make him do it, and he died. If you've never been to Arizona, today it was 110 degrees here. And that is the norm. This week, all week long, it's going to be 110.
Starting point is 00:27:12 When did that kid die? I think he died in June or May. Okay, June is the hottest month in Arizona. In 1990, June 26th, we had 122 degrees here. It happens. It gets hot as fuck. Yeah. Try going outside tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:27:28 The day you're listening to this, go outside tomorrow. It's summertime right now. Go outside tomorrow and do 100 jumping jacks and see if when you're done, you don't want to fucking die. No matter where you live. Yeah. And then picture doing that in 110 degrees or better. And if you are actually ill, which it turns out this kid was.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Oh, Jesus. he had the flu. He died. He had the flu and he's doing jumping jacks and moving sand. And after this whole thing, they did a huge investigation. They actually indicted a few of the workers,
Starting point is 00:27:58 like five of these workers from there on manslaughter charges. And then they ended up dropping the charges on them for some reason because they did a big investigation. Dropping them entirely? Yeah, on these people.
Starting point is 00:28:07 They closed a bunch of the facilities because it was a bunch of these camps. They closed a bunch of them and they also had like 17 of the employees from around
Starting point is 00:28:16 were put on like abuse registries for like abusing kids and shit. So it was seriously a fucked up thing and they still have them too by the way.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Look it up. I saw you can still send your fucking kid there. Yeah, it's horrible. I'm not sending my boy ever have them, too, by the way. Look it up. I saw you can still send your fucking kid there. Yeah, it's horrible. I'm not sending my boy ever. I don't care what he does. You shouldn't. Well, maybe when he starts serially murdering young college students.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Or selling crack rocks. You never know. Maybe he's trying to get him back on the straight and narrow. After that picture, Jimmy, it's going to be your fault. So send him to a good school, all right? So Wright is so big, he's a huge guy, that they decide that he needs to play football. They send him. He has no interest in football, by the way.
Starting point is 00:28:48 The School for Boys did this? Yeah. He doesn't like the game at all. He has no interest in football. He doesn't want to play football. They send him anyway to the Canyon State Academy in Queen Creek, which is outside of Phoenix. It's like an hour outside of Phoenix. They thought he'd be able to play football, so they sent him there to play football.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Talk about silver-haired, middle-aged white man just sending 16-year-old giant kids from the ghetto. Go play for that mother silver-haired, middle-aged white man. This is the original blindside. It's fucking ridiculous, man. No, at least they were doing nice shit for the blindside. They're sending him to another prison camp. They were buying... It's a prison. They took him shopping for new rugby shirts, at least they were doing nice shit for the blind side. They're sending him to another prison camp. The academy. It's a prison.
Starting point is 00:29:27 They took him shopping for new rugby shirts, at least. He didn't want to play football. So the coaches and the staff, because he was sent there to play football, and it's like, well, if you're going to be here, you're going to play football. As a punishment, they made him sleep on a very, very thin mat on a concrete floor until he changed his mind. So after two weeks, they tortured this poor fucking kid into changing his mind and playing football.
Starting point is 00:29:48 I mean, that's like, you don't want to till the field? Okay, fine. This is like a total slave tactic. It's fucking ridiculous. That's Chinese water torture. As much of a, as we'll get into this, but as much of a complete and utter piece of shit this guy is, like, this pisses me off that they would do that.
Starting point is 00:30:05 You know, you're going to play football for me. He's a giant man that they're making lay on a very thin mat on a concrete floor where you feel every fucking pebble Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:14 through that goddamn mat. And your sleep is so important. And he's 290 pounds. 290 pound man sleeping on a thin mat. There's physical activity to do here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:24 So when he started playing football, once he finally gave in, he never played football before and all the other kids, they were older, you know, this is 14, 15 year olds, 16 year olds. And now you've got a pissed off man that sleeps a prime and he's gonna fuck you up. Well he was like embarrassed at first. I got an in their own words here from him.
Starting point is 00:30:40 In their own words, quote I was lost. You'd think it's so simple to put on shoulder pads or to slide pads into your pants but i didn't know how to do any of it all the kids were laughing at me so he's like just this big kid going i don't know how pads work which i can understand he never played before he's like i don't know how the hell these are which do they back these are shoulder pads right you know which way they go on you know what i mean like out there in podcast world picture the shoulder pads thigh pads are thicker than my bed absolutely now here we get into the silver-haired middle-aged white man of the week we didn't get one last we didn't well tommy morrison
Starting point is 00:31:16 kind of they were all just once he started turning bad everybody just didn't like him yeah he's an asshole turn their backs on him anyway it was weird the individual sports they do that because they'll just move on to the next guy and a team sport that's i don't know what it is it's like we need to but we have canyon state athletic director and he was also a line coach defensive line coach with uh keith here jay reichenberger he's our silver-haired middle-aged white man of the week he's as German as they come he said quote about Keith he had the most natural pass rush I ever saw in a kid but the biggest thing was he was a respectful kid I'm not saying Keith wouldn't get a little
Starting point is 00:31:53 obstinate at times but he did things when we asked Keith will tell you this place saved him but we didn't change him he changed himself that is a hardcore single silver haired middle aged white man that sounds very very third reich it's ridiculous and he's also he keeps going here That is a hardcore single, silver-haired, middle-aged white man. That sounds very, very Third Reich. It's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:32:07 And he's also, I mean, he keeps going here. He says that this was in 2005. This came from the fluff piece here. He said that he keeps in contact with him up until 2005 here. Reichenberger said, if I use a curse word, Wright will say, Coach, you really shouldn't say that. So total Eddie Haskell at this point. Reminds me of my childhood, coach. Let's try
Starting point is 00:32:30 not to do that. Let's try not to cuss. Hey, you know, there was this large, large man that used to tell me to move that motherfucking sand. Yeah. Could you just say, hit this tackling dummy? Do you need any crack at all? Shit, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It just comes out sometimes.
Starting point is 00:32:45 I forget. I just... I want to sell crack. I don't know why. It's just... It's so much easier than moving sand. I have to. I just want to sell crack. So he actually graduates from this school in 1998.
Starting point is 00:32:57 He has a high school diploma. He puts in four years. Four years. I mean, this is... That's a rough high school. Like, that's... That's shit high school. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:04 Hard labor with a bunch of fucking other hardened shitheads. I was fucked with all through high school, right up until, well, very similar. I sold weed a lot. Yeah. I think that's past the statute of limitations. I would assume. I sold weed to kids, and when people found out that I had weed, that's when I started becoming popular and usable and friendly.
Starting point is 00:33:28 That's when people liked me. But until then, my sophomore and junior year of high school, people kicked the shit out of me constantly. I luckily got a two- or three-year reprieve from all of that. This man went four years of getting his ass kicked every fucking day, and he was three times the size of me luckily for him he was 290 pounds like you said he was three times your size you didn't have that luxury of being able to tackle a man away from you so he graduates in 98 which is amazing good
Starting point is 00:33:57 for him right he's got something going on he actually goes to arizona western college i don't even know where the fuck that is. It's in Yuma. But it sounds... Oh, God. Yeah. Imagine spending your time in Yuma. But even from Tucson, that's a step down. He's like on the...
Starting point is 00:34:12 And Tucson sucks. He's on a shit tour of the worst cities in America. And this place, too. Arizona Western College sounds like one of those colleges that's made up for a comedy movie. Yeah. Where Scott Bakula plays quarterback for a team. Like, I go to Arizona Western. It's not a real college.
Starting point is 00:34:28 What are you talking about? It's like whatever was in fucking Necessary Roughness. Exactly. That's what I think it was like. Texas West or some horseshit. I think it had like Tech in it too. Texas Tech Western or some shit. They had to make up some combination
Starting point is 00:34:41 that didn't exist of Texas colleges. Texas A&M Tech or some shit. Yeah, some horse shit. So he goes there. Now, he goes with five of the ranch boys, too. Five of the guys from the school, from the reform, whatever the fuck you want to call it. He talked five dudes into going with him. They all go there.
Starting point is 00:34:57 No, they must have recruited there. That's what they did. Because who the hell else is going to go to a college in Yuma to play football? And if you're the fucking athletic director there, that's a brilliant move. Yeah. Because you're getting hardened criminals. These kids are tough. That are straight up killers.
Starting point is 00:35:09 They're tough. These kids, no one's getting, they're not pushing these kids around. You're going to put them on your fucking offensive line. So, as a freshman, they go on a team trip to Mexico. Yeah. It's a bus ride.
Starting point is 00:35:23 All six of the boys' ranch kids get in a big brawl with each other. Oh, that's dangerous. They get in a big, just each other. Yeah. Like, they just start fighting amongst themselves, which is hilarious. So, it's a big fracas. They all get in trouble, whatever. Anyway, after his freshman year at Arizona Western, he has a dispute with the head coach.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Doesn't like the head coach. They have to get into some shit. Real quick, going back to the brawl, like, what sets that off? You know what I mean? Who the fuck knows? These people have been together a long time. And I imagine old habits die hard.
Starting point is 00:35:56 I imagine they've been, like, filing down toothbrushes and shit on the bus, on the ride in. I don't know how many shankings happened on that bus. You eat that cornbread and that shit going on. Yeah, there's a trail of bodies down the fucking,ankings happened on that bus you can eat that cornbread and that shit going on there's a trail of
Starting point is 00:36:06 bodies down the I can't even imagine down the Chihuahua I wish I would have watched that that would actually be surveillance footage from a six man
Starting point is 00:36:12 throwing beds six man football team bus fight that would have been amazing holy crap I wish I would have seen it
Starting point is 00:36:20 that sounds like a really good idea for a wrestling match we're going to put six guys inside of a picture of Vince McMahon coming out we're going to put six guys inside of a picture of Vince McMahon coming out. We're going to put six guys in a bus.
Starting point is 00:36:27 It's going to be amazing. This is essentially the plot. It's playing out the way every fucking football movie ever plays out. Oh, God, yeah. This is the program. This is every 90s college overdramatic. There's always infighting. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:36:40 There's always a brawl at a bar. Somebody laid in the middle of the road Will cars stream by him Or some shit like whatever crap movie that's from They go and fucking punch the opposing Fucking badass on the other team They're stealing mascots Yeah So he mercifully
Starting point is 00:36:57 Gets himself out of Yuma After his freshman year And transfers to Sacramento City College For his sophomore year. So he's going home. Doesn't sound like a big college. Probably a bad idea, yeah. But he actually does really well here.
Starting point is 00:37:10 He has 14 sacks that year and is an All-American. Wow. Not like a first team, but he's one of the All-Americans. So, I mean, he made a name for himself there. Such a good name for himself that he started being recruited by major universities to transfer there. So, I mean, we're picking up. He's gone from juvenile hall to a shitty ranch to a shitty college to a less shitty college to now to a real college.
Starting point is 00:37:34 It's easy to stand out in those places, I imagine, if you've got some kind of talent. And he had some kind of talent. I mean, he was on the way up. While he was touring colleges, he stopped at university of arizona in tucson all right made a stop there where him and a group of the recruits were accused and arrested of stealing a bunch of shit from the u of a campus because you know they bring a bunch of recruits in at the same time to show them around apparently they went on some kind of robbery binge books they got who knows what they were stealing i mean so they got pencils get them right
Starting point is 00:38:06 of course claim that it was all of the other recruits but he had nothing to do with it this that always comes up where he's like hey it wasn't me it was everybody else but i was just i was i was telling them not to but then they did it anyway he claimed it was the other recruits and went to trial actually didn't plead or anything he went to fucking trial and was found guilty and received probation. So they were going to give him like a community service type thing, but he was already committed to the University of Missouri
Starting point is 00:38:30 by this point. He went to Mizzou. Yes, he ended up at Missouri, so they had to give him probation here. It was a pretty short probation, luckily for him. Kid can't catch a break, but at least it's short.
Starting point is 00:38:42 At least it's short. He's trying here. Nothing in his life goes well, though. It really doesn't. He's a series of like up a hill, fall off the cliff, up a hill, fall off a cliff. This happens to him. And it's, I mean, he started with a crackhead mother and no father. So, I mean, at this point, he's in college.
Starting point is 00:38:59 He's beat the odds. Yeah. I mean, where he started, the odds of him ending up at the University of Missouri on on a scholarship that's incredible our fucking nil sure didn't happen to me slim to none yeah so he's doing great uh his junior year he's in missouri he has 68 tackles which is fantastic yeah they move him to the at this point he was a defensive end uh-huh in uh in high school and in early college like when he played at sacramento it's 12 games in college, right? It depends on what team you are. It was 12, 13,
Starting point is 00:39:27 now they're scheduling a little bit more. And Mizzou is Midwestern or is that SEC? No, I think it's, aren't they SEC, Mizzou? They might be SEC. Yeah, isn't that where
Starting point is 00:39:35 Michael Sam went? Didn't he go to Missouri? Yes. Yeah, and that was SEC because I can't say who's SEC. So SEC, that's a big fucking conference.
Starting point is 00:39:43 If I'm wrong, I'm not a huge college football fan. I like old college football. I know that shit. He has 68 there. Also, he has 68. Things are looking up. Junior season and also he's arrested.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Again, junior season. Obviously because he's got to get arrested. He's arrested for using a stolen credit card at a gas station. Oh my god. Now he claims it's his roommate's card which seems like that'd be a very easy thing to clear up. Yeah. Like that would not take long to clear up. Like, oh no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:40:11 I gave it to him and said he could borrow it. Totally cool. Over. Done and over with. But don't think that happened because he ends up pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge. Oh God. And he gets a... So he totally stole it.
Starting point is 00:40:21 He totally stole it. Gets a suspended sentence out of this. Thank God that probation wasn't too long. No doubt. Because then he'd be going back to Arizona in another work camp. Locked up in another boy's room. They are SEC. They are SEC.
Starting point is 00:40:32 That's what I thought. Okay, so he marries his girlfriend, Lori, in 2001. So, I mean, hey, things are going okay here. He's still in college, though. He's still in college, but, I mean, he's got a girlfriend and he's in college. He's married. He's trying to build a stable life here. He's trying to build some course. Trying to settle himself down and keep out
Starting point is 00:40:48 of fucking jail. Think about his life. I think maybe he's like, I'm going to try to set myself some sort of stability. I just have to not get arrested for a while here. When I grew up, I saw my mother not have a husband and I would like to have a stable life. I'm in college.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Nobody in my family, I'm assuming, has gotten there. I should get myself into a marriage that's stable and have a fucking stable life. I'd like my kids to not have to purchase crack for their life. That's what I'd like to do. That would be the ideal of what we're going for here. That would be something to celebrate. So 2002, he has 92 tackles and six sacks.
Starting point is 00:41:23 That's incredible. That's great. That's a really, really good season. Six sacks? Six sacks has 92 tackles and six sacks. That's incredible. That's great. That's a really, really good season. Six sacks? Six sacks and defensive tackles. I mean, that's mainly a run-stopping position anyway. Most guys don't get that in the NFL in the season. No, six sacks, 92 tackles is a great year at defensive tackle in college
Starting point is 00:41:35 because it's a shorter season, too. Insane. He's projected to be a third or fourth round pick in the 2003 NFL draft. That's huge. I saw his scouting report. He had a 4.8840-yard dash, which is fucking great for a guy who's 300 feet. pick in the 2003 NFL draft. That's huge. I saw his scouting report. He had a 4.88 40-yard dash, which is fucking great for a guy who's 300 pounds. For 300 pounds. That's a quick guy.
Starting point is 00:41:51 That's really fast. I don't know that I could run that. No, you couldn't run that. I guarantee you you couldn't run that. That's amazing. You would probably, your heart would explode at 38 yards. I can't believe his didn't. No.
Starting point is 00:42:00 From buying crack rocks to third or fourth round projected pick. That's incredible. That's great. He's got a wife. Things are looking up. That's insane. He's rated 15th out of 41 defensive tackles at NFLDraftScout.com. This is a guy that's been playing football for six years.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Yeah, he hasn't been playing until his junior year of high school. Yes, I mean, that's not bad at all. He graduates Missouri, gets two degrees. I mean, he's now graduated from college. I am blown away right now. No father, crackhead mother. Right there, your chances of graduating from a university are about... Minimal crimes.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Yeah. I mean, apart from drugs. Well, he was selling drugs and robbing convenience stores. Apart from that shit. Stealing credit cards. Once he went into prison. Robbing shit on the campus. All right. He was selling drugs and robbing convenience stores. Apart from that shit. Stealing credit cards. Once he went into prison. Robbing shit on the campus. All right.
Starting point is 00:42:48 He's done some crimes. He's done some stuff. But he's trying to clean it up. I get the other stuff. I get it. In college, minimal crimes. Minimal crimes. Where he came from, I get it.
Starting point is 00:42:57 It's amazing, though, when you're going on a recruiting trip to maybe go to a college, you decide, well, I think I'll steal some shit from here. That's insane to me. That will be had. That is mine. Unfortunately for him, he does not get selected in the third or fourth round of the draft. He goes in the sixth round of the 2003 draft. Still great.
Starting point is 00:43:15 He's still got a chance. You're still on the roster at that point. You get signed to a deal. It's the very end of the sixth round. He gets drafted by the Houston Texans, who at that year were an expansion team. That was their first year. So this is their extra expansion pick. All right.
Starting point is 00:43:29 So he's like an extra pick. That's beautiful. He's number 214 overall, but whatever. He's in the league, man. 213 men got into the NFL that year. Hey, you're in the league. Who was number one that year? That was Carson Palmer.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Carson Palmer. Carson Palmer from USC to the Cincinnati Bengals. Four picks ahead of him was David Tyree, who's the Giants' receiver. Oh, the fucking helmet catcher. Who caught the ball on his head, which is kind of funny, in the sixth round. Nothing of note after him. Only kicker Josh Brown went in the seventh, who's a half-decent kicker. He's decent.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Played for the Giants. Is he still with the Giants? I don't even know where Josh Brown is anymore. He kicked around. Another guy that went to the Giants. Two guys at the Giants. Is he still with the Giants? I don't even know where Josh Brown is anymore. He kicked around. Another guy that went to the Giants. Two guys at the Giants that late in the draft. Yeah, that's... I only know how to pick them late, I guess.
Starting point is 00:44:10 Even though Tyree, that was his only playing note in the entire... I think he's out of the NFL already. He never played another down after that catch. That was his last... That's it. But I mean, hey, way to go out, right? That's the best fucking way to go out. Go out on top right there.
Starting point is 00:44:20 Go out with the fucking ring. So he signs with Houston a three-year $925,000 contract. This is for 03-04-05. 925. He's making $300,000 and about $7,000 a year. Pretty much. I don't make that. The only thing, it's a $42,500 bonus, but in the NFL this is not guaranteed money.
Starting point is 00:44:43 That's the other thing, too. You've got to go through it. You've got to be on the team yeah to get paid so uh now uh he uses his bonus money puts it down and buys a house in sacramento for his family so he's trying to make a nice little in sacramento playing for houston well he's from sacramento he wants to maybe he's got it you know his mom needs him to go down to the corner and get crack for her. She's very old by now and she's feeble and she can't buy her own crack anymore.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Picture her mom with one of those old lady carts like they have with just, you know, I'm going to get my crack, dear.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Going to get my crack and tinfoil and my fucking I need to go get my Brillo pad. My Brillo pad. I'll see you later. So,
Starting point is 00:45:20 at this point too, as we go, his rookie season does not go great, as we'll get into here. Kind of expected that. July 30th. Now, this is training camp in July.
Starting point is 00:45:31 We have not started the official season, haven't played games yet. July 30th, he is injured, twists his knee, and this lingers through training camp. He pulls his hamstring three days later. Oh, God. Doesn't play in a scrimmage. The knee keeps him out for a couple of preseason games and practices. Who would have thought this guy wouldn't be conditioned?
Starting point is 00:45:50 I mean, he's been in the summer heat in Arizona. He should be in great condition. This man is tested. So, on August 31st of that year, he is waived by the Texans. He's already shit-canned. Next day, they signived by the Texans. He's already shit-canned. Next day, they sign him to the practice squad. Now, practice squad, if you're not a football fan,
Starting point is 00:46:12 that is basically their minor league team, pretty much. They have, I think it's like 10 guys they get to keep. You want to keep this guy so other teams don't sign him because you think maybe you'll be able to use him in the future. But right now, you don't have room for him on your active roster, so he's a practice squad guy. Was Carr the quarterback then? I think so. Yeah, I think he was.
Starting point is 00:46:30 So he essentially is the guy that, like, if Carr is injured, they're using him to scrimmage and play against for the backup quarterback so the backup quarterback is ready to play. Yeah, they're playing against the practice squad and throwing him. They're red-shirting. There's no hard hits, but he's getting close to them and pushing them down and stuff and knocking them around. So September 2nd, he's waived from the practice squad too,
Starting point is 00:46:56 which is so odd. They just decide that the next day. August to September, goodbye. No, I don't think so. See you later. So he's drafted. Everything's great. He's buying a house.
Starting point is 00:47:04 I have no job. A month later. So he's drafted. Everything's great. He's buying a house. I have no job. A month fucking later, he's out. November 10th of 2003, he signs with the Colts practice squad. Oh, that's nice. So the practice squad, they're probably making $60,000 a year or something like that, which is not great, but he's got a job. Yeah. It's better than selling crack.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Yeah. We'll say that. No doubt. Better than robbing a convenience store. He ends up getting released there. He's signed by the Bucs in 2004. 2004, his son is born. Oh, happy moment.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Happy moment. Very happy. He's bouncing around from practice squad to practice squad. But a happy moment there. The Bucs, he sticks around in the Bucs for a year. He's released in summer of July 27, 2005. He's released from the Bucs. He was actually on the Bucs active roster
Starting point is 00:47:45 and he was on the Colts active roster too. He wasn't just on practice squads there. That's great. Has zero NFL stats. He does not have a tackle. He does not have a fumble recovery. Nobody on that defensive line got injured. Like he never existed. Wow. He was on teams
Starting point is 00:48:02 on the roster standing there. His helmet shiny. Got a scratch on it. Pristine chin strap. I don't even remember what his number was. I wonder if he had the same number at every team. Or they were just like, no. Probably not.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Who knows? He's a defensive tackle. They probably still gave him like, you're like 18. I know it's against the rules, but we don't want to give you your right number. You're a loser. So at this point, he's a father. And Reichenbacher the silver our silver-haired middle-aged white man just says that keith is the most amazing father
Starting point is 00:48:30 he's first to jump in and feed that baby or change him he said quote he's changed every year since i've met him but especially now that he's a father it's so important to him what he saw growing up he didn't want to repeat that in his adulthood oh well, well, good for him. Good for him. He's just, he's a solid guy there. Just a great father. The picture I'm saying, though, with the German accent. That would be amazing, by the way. His hair flipping around and he's raising a fist and a fucking goofy salute
Starting point is 00:48:58 every time. He's changed every year! Every year! He's going crazy. My God. So he's signed in 2005 by the Arizona Cardinals on August 5th. And this is where we get the fluff piece. Coming back to Arizona. That was like, hey, he's going to make the Cardinals. This is great.
Starting point is 00:49:13 He does not make the Cardinals. In the article, he says he wants to get a good NFL contract so he can buy some land and build a group home. That's his goal. He wants to build a group home. He's his goal. He wants to build a group home. He wants to counsel troubled kids. I want to beat the shit out of kids because I get the shit beat out of me. I am going to teach them exactly how you make every last penny out of crack. Yeah. Let me see. If you have, you get yourself this much cocaine, I'm going to show you how to really stretch it. Teach him how to work a triple beam. Most crack for your dollar. That's
Starting point is 00:49:44 what he's looking for here. Learn that from Master P. That's it. You gotta get it, man. So his quote about this, in their own words, is, quote, I've seen what crack does to families. I've seen the effects of it. People will sell the food from their house or the clothes off their back. They'll sell their bodies for a rock.
Starting point is 00:50:00 So he said, he's trying, he's like, hey, I gotta, I'm gonna help the kids, man. But he's very aware of what can happen. Oh, he knows. He knows. And thank God he wasn't really, really into crack. Yeah, no doubt. Because he would have done even worse things than he fucking did,
Starting point is 00:50:14 which is hard to actually imagine. Hard to top, yeah. So Reichenberger here, he's just so proud of Keith at this point, bouncing from team to team. It doesn't matter. He says, Keith's biggest accomplishment is not playing football he's survived he's not selling crack on the street corner that is the silver harris yeah fucking statement ever that's just such a white older man like hey he should be selling crack on the street corner with the rest of those monkeys
Starting point is 00:50:42 running around he should be lucky to be unemployed like you can hear the racist and like the racism in his voice like he did what he said isn't racist but you know and you can just tell like i know what you meant motherfucker like that's it's coming through like archie bunker would you know what i mean like alionel you're one of the good ones you could be uh selling crack out of the good one you know that's how he would say it. It's a complete fucking Archie Bunker moment. What a dick. But it's like, are you really just gonna say
Starting point is 00:51:12 he should be lucky to be unemployed? That's what you just said. He's just hoping his son is big and stupid and gets in trouble so he can come play football for him at the fucking juvenile facility. And I can say fucking veiled racist shit about him, too. Yeah, so this article, you know, I mean, all systems go for the Cardinals.
Starting point is 00:51:32 He's going to be a Cardinal until August 29, 2005, about three weeks later when he gets released by the Cardinals. Yeah, not great. He remains unemployed until January 14, 2006. So you've got about four months, three months of him unemployed. Or he signs a two-year, and this is called a future contract with Tampa Bay. This is where NFL Europe comes in because this is like their minor league system, the NFL, with NFL Europe. He's a two-year future contract, base salaries of $310,000 for 2006, $385,000 for 2007.
Starting point is 00:52:07 So if he can make teams and play... That's a payday. That's more money he's ever made in his fucking life than he could use it. So, good lord. He's got a kid for... He's got kids. He's going to have lawyers. He's got a lot of problems.
Starting point is 00:52:19 He needs to buy some Pampers. Absolutely. And put some in the bank for this kid. No doubt. When you're not around anymore. So, Tampa Bay, they assign him to the Hamburg Sea Devils of NFL Europe. Sounds great. Yeah, Hamburg, Germany.
Starting point is 00:52:32 So you're going to Germany to play for a team called the Sea Devils. He can use Reichenbacher. Yeah, Reichenbacher's got some connections. Reichenberger, whatever it was. Reichenberger's going to be... Who gives a shit? Reichenberger. He's used to the German accent, so that's a good place for him.
Starting point is 00:52:44 It's perfect. Reichenberger, who I believe was, what, the Ministry of Propaganda, I believe. Third Reich. Once, yeah, so, Raoul Reichenberger there. God, I love that guy. He's such a jackass. What a horrible man. So, September 2nd, 2006, the Bucs release him.
Starting point is 00:52:59 So, he didn't last long there in that little contract, about nine months. I assume he played for NFL Europe because that was a spring league, summer league. And then when they brought him to training camp, the second two, that's like last wave of cuts. So he almost made the team. It was down to the last four guys, and they're like, we can keep this guy or this guy. Yeah, we're cutting right. Fuck him. Get rid of old Crack Rock.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Yeah, get rid of old Crack Rock there. Yeah, but come on. He's my crack cook-off. Yeah, but come on, he's my crack cook-off. When I'm in Sacramento, where else am I going to get Crack
Starting point is 00:53:28 Coach? Oh, don't worry, he'll be there. Don't worry, he's on the corner. He'll be on the street corner.
Starting point is 00:53:33 Just ask Reichenberger where to find him. Go find that $40,000 house he bought. God, they've fallen apart and shit.
Starting point is 00:53:39 Yeah. Probably look like the Clopex house from the Burbs. Yeah, it's the house he grew up in. It probably is.
Starting point is 00:53:44 He bought it to have memories of that, or he has, like, bodies buried under the fucking basement. So October 18, 2006, he signs with the Detroit Lions practice squad. Wow. Yay, right? That's a good deal. He is running practice squads. December 12, 2006, released by the Lions practice squad.
Starting point is 00:54:00 That's right. Not great. They should just call him Practice Squad, right? Practice Squad Keith over here. Yeah, no doubt. It's either Practice Squad or Crack Rock, either one, whichever you want your nickname to be. So Bill Bradley, who is not Bill Bradley, the senator,
Starting point is 00:54:15 and the ex-New York Knick, Bill Bradley, the director, he's the director of some sports website, and they were asking him about Keith Wright after he had some incidents later on some incidents later on what they say and he said this guy's bounced around he's seen a lot of nfl that's what life is for a lot of nfl players you're trying to stick with one team or catch on with another if you can't and that's what it is like you see the nfl players and you see your peyton mannings and you see your these guys getting giant andrew lux and these guys luck that motherfucker these guys are getting giant contracts, and they're getting all this attention.
Starting point is 00:54:47 They're on a million commercials. But for that, there's 53 guys on the team, 49 of which you don't fucking recognize. Didn't they up it to like 72 or some shit like that now? That's your active roster is 53. So you have your practice squad guys beyond that. They're technically on your team, but they're not active. So your 53-man active roster.
Starting point is 00:55:05 Yeah, so it's... There's still a shitload of guys that are going to bounce everywhere. There's like 49 guys where you don't know who they are.
Starting point is 00:55:14 Right. Well, you've got your Larry Fitzgerald that stays in place for the fucking whole career. Yeah, and you have a lot of your
Starting point is 00:55:19 solid offensive linemen that you've never heard of that will play for the same team for 10, 12 years will bounce around but get good contracts. And then you have a bunch of journeymen that fill it in that special teamers guys who just you know practice squad to practice squad keith wright
Starting point is 00:55:33 is the norm in the nfl wow this is what most of the players are like that most of the players aren't the other way so anything this is how that most of the time and it went up and you think you want to be in the nfl college football, and then this. Then you get to the rookie symposium. Whatever the word is. Symposium. Symposium, that's it. We'll mix a few more words.
Starting point is 00:55:52 You go to the rookie symposium, and then they tell you about this shit, and you're like, this isn't what I signed up for. What the hell is this about? I'm going to go use these two degrees that I got. That's the other thing. Why the fuck isn't he using those? Well, he's trying. He's still living, trying. Yeah, still he using those? Well, he's trying. He's still, he's living,
Starting point is 00:56:05 trying to play out that. Still in his prime. Yeah, he's still 20, what is he, 26 years old at this point? 25 years old. So he's 26 after the Lions released him.
Starting point is 00:56:13 So he's still thinking, I'm going to try. Now, that's it for football though for him. He's done with football. At some point between 2006 and 2010, he's arrested
Starting point is 00:56:23 for a felony of some kind. Now have i oh my god i can't tell you how much i tried to find this yeah and how exactly deep i went for this i cannot find out what the hell it was i can't unless i want to like pay money to the state of california for so it was in california it's probably it's definitely in California because I know this because his DNA was taken. This is the only reason I know this, and it's going to come up later, the fact that his DNA was taken and it's on record. It's kept on file at the Department of Justice's National DNA Database. a criminal case that involves somebody that is not wanting to be outed as a victim, they oftentimes bury those and you have to pay for those. I don't know what...
Starting point is 00:57:14 It's just not public record. Some felony that required him to give DNA to the Department of Justice's database. All right. So that's what we're going with here. It was a bad fucking felony. So something happened, but he didn't go to prison. No i don't know what if it got dropped i don't know what happened but something happened i would love to know but really there's just not a whole lot on this guy fucking reporters were not on top of their game with this bastard so that's fine that's
Starting point is 00:57:39 up till 2010 2011 we're in sac. Shit starts to get a little dicier on the Sacramento area. July 21st, 2011, there's a home invasion. Uh-oh. And this is in the Natomas. I don't know how you say that. Natomas? It's N-A-T-O-M-A-S.
Starting point is 00:57:58 Natomas? Natomas? Natomas, we'll say. All right. Natomas area, okay? Intruder broke in, threatened the people with a gun stole their property
Starting point is 00:58:07 stole their money basic home invasion yeah yeah type shit a giant man I imagine yeah this happens the description is of a very large black man
Starting point is 00:58:16 that uh you know was screaming screaming fuck the bucks fuck Detroit he had a Detroit hat a bucks shirt Arizona Cardinals sweatpants, and Houston Texan fucking cleats.
Starting point is 00:58:33 And his shoulder pads were on backwards. He didn't know how to put them on. And he had crack rocks dangling out of his pocket. So that was the description of the guy, or at least the big and black part. So a couple weeks go by uh our little time goes by here august 8th 2011 there's another home invasion in the anatomous area same thing he has a revolver the same deal the revolvers big guy suspect at this time this is a couple from uh qatar the country in the middle east right right? Or Qatar. I think it's Qatar. Qatar, whatever.
Starting point is 00:59:05 So he steals Qatari currency from them. Okay? Now, this is not a normal thing in Sacramento. There's not a lot of Qatari currency. It's not normal anywhere in America. No, not at all. So they steal that from them, and that's going to come back a little bit later.
Starting point is 00:59:23 Now, August 20th... As he goes to the fucking exchange place to get American shit you are ahead of your game jimmy because the way this breaks down but they don't find anything yet now august 21st 2011 this is 13 days later there's another home invasion 2 a.m officers sacramento police respond to the homecoming apartments at 4800 Kokomo Drive in Sacramento. Somebody's getting desperate. Yes. Calls for a home invasion. Suspect is said to have entered through an unlocked door.
Starting point is 00:59:53 And this one is bad. There's a sexual assault. Oh, no. He holds her at gunpoint, sexually assaults her. There's forces her to perform oral sex with a gun to her head. Oh no. Yeah, whole deal. Robs her,
Starting point is 01:00:08 steals her money. That's gotta be the worst way to give a blowjob. Jesus Christ. Robs her, steals her money, then takes her, makes her drive to the fucking ATM to different banks
Starting point is 01:00:17 and tries to make her withdraw money. Yes. After he just aimed a gun at her head and forced her to suck his dick. And also had sex with her I believe too. And now he's kidnapped her on top of that the only worst way to give a
Starting point is 01:00:30 blowjob is soaked in gasoline while the fucking guy with the boner is holding a lighter no like there's no other way lord a fucking gun pressed against your head oh shit with a cock in your mouth or that sounds horrific or if it's mel hall and he's just taking over your parents bedroom that's the other way it would be really bad yeah or with a dish towel over your head or a dish towel over your head and a seven foot two tom pain pinning you down in your back seat of your car so this fuck this guy at this point now uh this this is a serious deal here yeah and by the way the the second ATM withdrawal was unsuccessful for $300. So at least he's not even robbing, he's not even picking good targets.
Starting point is 01:01:09 Right. He's like, I don't have any more. Yeah, I don't have any more. He's like, what? What the fuck? So after the sexual assault. You broke bitch. You broke ass bitch, god damn it.
Starting point is 01:01:17 So he leaves some DNA behind. A lot. In the house, apparently, which is. It's probably dripping everywhere. It's going to come in helpful if only it's somebody with the DNA in the house, apparently, which is probably dripping everywhere. If only it's somebody with the DNA in the registry. Luckily it is, and luckily we find out this idiot,
Starting point is 01:01:32 fucking Keith Wright, as dumb as he is, becomes a suspect after he tries to exchange the Qatari money, which is a reali, I believe it's called, and he tries to go to just a run of the mill exchange place
Starting point is 01:01:47 fucking checks for cash or whatever it is yeah he just runs into whatever you can get an exchange he's with a woman also the woman gives an address her real address like a fucking idiot give a fake give an address of a motel something don't give a PO box
Starting point is 01:02:04 that somebody else's. Real address. Now, and the authorities, when they hear Qatari money was stolen, they put a thing out to all the people. And all the exchange places going, hey, if you get any giant black guys coming in with Qatari currency, give us a fucking little ring a ding if you would. Because probably going to be wanting to talk to that guy. We'd like to ask him a question or a couple of questions here my question is too if you've a foreign currency exchange sounds super shady like if you can't count on them to be a little shady who the fuck can you count on here's the other thing too if if somebody's got foreign currency throw that
Starting point is 01:02:40 shit away yeah what are you doing that's what i. He didn't even know if a pile of that is equal to $3. That's the risk he took to get caught. He's like, I don't even know what the fuck this shit is. There's some guy
Starting point is 01:02:51 with a turban on it. I don't know. I'm going to take it in. If I get Canadian cash change back and change accidentally from somebody that doesn't know
Starting point is 01:02:58 the difference, I'm just out a quarter and I just flick that shit out. You're trying to pass it off at the grocery store. I'm going to fuck somebody else's day off? Yeah. No. Who gives a shit? Get that shit out. You're trying to pass it off at the grocery store. I'm going to fuck somebody else's day up? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:07 No. Just who gives a shit? Get rid of it. You're trying to slip it by a soda machine at that point. Your day's ruined. You can't buy shit with it.
Starting point is 01:03:12 Oh, God, Jesus. That's the address the girl lives at. The authorities are like, well, let's check that address out. And what do they find on August 29, 2011?
Starting point is 01:03:22 A giant black man? They find a giant guy named Keithith right there it's at the corner of san juan road and duckhorn drive in sacramento if you guys want to go see where they took old keith right down anybody from there uh he is arrested for this uh the dna is they're working on that this year put in a real rush to see if that matches once they get him and i would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling kids. Oh, yeah, they pulled off a mask. And that goddamn Qatari money.
Starting point is 01:03:48 He was masquerading as an 82-year-old white man. And they pulled the mask off him, and he was a 300-pound, 28-year-old black guy. It was the weirdest thing. An 80-year-old spirit. He's like, I don't know what you kids are talking about. And then they pulled the mask off. He's like, I wouldn't want to weigh with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids. And the goddamn lions and the fucking bucks. God damn it. And they pulled the mask off. He's like, I wouldn't want to weigh with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids. And the goddamn lions
Starting point is 01:04:06 and the fucking bucks. God damn it. And the fucking Texans. All those bastards cutting me. Give me my Cardinal underwear. So he's arrested here. There's no bail. No.
Starting point is 01:04:16 Clearly. So now. I would fucking hope not. No bail. He knows he's taken. He knows he has DNA on file. And he knows they have DNA. And he knows about the Qatari currency.
Starting point is 01:04:29 He's in deep shit at this point. What about his wife and kid? Think about his wife and kid. He's got, like, what's his kid, six years old, seven years old at this point? Thinking of dad as, like, this superhero, and he wants to build group homes. And the girl, too, when she married him, seemed like a great guy. He's thought, you know, he's kicking around. Rags to riches shit. Rags to, too, when she married him seemed like a great guy. He's kicking around. Rags to riches shit.
Starting point is 01:04:47 Rags to riches. She's sticking with him. It's all right if you don't make the NFL. We'll take care of kids and getting a group home and all that. You get blowjobs at gunpoint? These people, yeah. This poor woman got to give a fucking gunpoint blowjob,
Starting point is 01:04:58 for Christ's sake, which is the worst thing I can think of. She's giving gunpoint blowjobs. There's poor immigrants who come to this country to make a better start they're having giant guys run into their house with crack rocks falling out of their pockets lift their useless fucking money off of them lion's hats falling in their living room and now i mean i feel bad for all these people i feel really really bad for these people but not nearly as bad as I feel for some of these people.
Starting point is 01:05:28 Like Keith Wright, the purchasing manager at Summit Systems, a telecommunications firm in the greater Atlantic area. Keith Wright is a U.K. true crime author. All right. A book called Addressed to Kill. He's got a million books. I just thought that was the first one to put up. He should read up on this fellow that we know named Keith Wright. Keith Wright. Yeah, just write about
Starting point is 01:05:46 him exclusively. Do some investigation. Find out what happened between 2006 and 2010, please, because I'd really like to know. Google yourself, motherfucker. Jesus. Keith Wright, New York City Assemblyman from the 70th District, which is Harlem. He was challenging for Charles Rangel's seat a little while ago
Starting point is 01:06:02 and lost in a race. Because people Googled him and were like, this motherfucker gets gunpoint blowjobs. He's raping people. Shit. Fuck him and his gunpoint blowjobs. I'm not electing him to shit.
Starting point is 01:06:11 Actually, that's the guy you send to Washington. Yeah, no doubt. You want to get shit done? You send the guy who makes gunpoint blowjobs happen. He's going to get shit done.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Oh, yes, Senator? Yeah. You don't want to vote for my bill? Hey, Hillary, you want to talk about your fucking emails? Come here for a minute.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Good telling you, man. She should have the gun, actually. She'd be the one with the gun, I think. Yeah. Making people suck her dick. Yeah, exactly. Or Keith Wright, M.D., who went to the University of Kansas Medical School
Starting point is 01:06:37 and has a family practice in Manhattan, Kansas. Oh, my God. Poor guy. Keith Wright, Allen Sport International Management in Inc. in Los Angeles. He's an entertainment, I think he's a fucking agent from Howard University there.
Starting point is 01:06:50 Yeah, he should know better. He should know, like, presence. He's Googling, I'm sure he's Googling himself every five minutes. He's going, change your name, fuckface. Why does it take me eight pages
Starting point is 01:06:59 to find myself? I'm behind UK true crime authors and murdering or raping football players. Keith Wright, managing director of global transaction services with Merrill Lynch in London, England. There are so many. Keith Wright, a dead Australian Baptist preacher who was super famous, ended up going to prison for raping an underage girl. I even feel bad for him. That man's living up to his name.
Starting point is 01:07:21 Even he's like, come on. My memory. living up to his neck. Even he's like, come on. My memory. Keith Wright, the poor sophomore running back defensive end on the Dublin High School junior varsity football team in Dublin, Texas. Change your name, sir. Even worse, Keith Wright, a senior defensive tackle
Starting point is 01:07:39 and offensive tackle at Helena High School in Helena, Alabama. Holy shit. He's 6'2", 330 pounds. You got the same name in stats, brother. Get rid of it. Except he runs a 6'3", 40-yard dash.
Starting point is 01:07:55 Keith, man, you got to get your dash time up. You're not going to make the NFL. I watched a couple of his plays, and he's a tough son of a bitch. Good for you, Keith. He's a big kid, and he plays hard. You know what, Keith Wright? I'm not going to rip you, buddy, because you're trying real hard. You stick with it. Please don't sell crack or make people give you fucking gunpoint blowjobs.
Starting point is 01:08:13 They beg of you. A four-year bid in an Arizona boys' ranch might do you some good, and you might make the NFL. Yeah, I think you can cut 20 pounds that way. Get down to old Keith Wright. At least just start moving sand, sir. Most of all, I feel bad for Keith Wright, the NFL wide receiver. No way.
Starting point is 01:08:29 That played for the Cleveland Browns from 78 to 80. Because that poor bastard, if you Google Keith Wright NFL, he has stats. He was a kick returner. So he's the first guy that comes up. So you're thinking, if you just think, just think oh Keith Wright and you see what he did you're going to think it's this guy more than likely
Starting point is 01:08:47 because I started writing about his childhood my first hour and a half how'd this guy go so wrong everything looks so nice no no
Starting point is 01:08:56 he actually ended up having problems going to jail also but he came back and had like a real redemptive thing maybe we'll talk about him and he was a coach
Starting point is 01:09:04 and everything he didn't do that much but I mean I just saw that he was in jail and it was a story but it was like a fluff piece on him out of jail i'm like i'm like first fluff piece here we go i'm gonna look at that later then i'm like looking and i did research for about two hours and i'm like this is not the same fucking guy because at one point they're like he's's returning kicks. And I'm like, he's 290 pounds. How's he returning kickoffs? What the hell's going on? Some desperation play. Some fucking refrigerator Perry shit.
Starting point is 01:09:31 I differentiated between the two. And I was like, oh shit, I got to start over. This is the wrong guy completely. I had like some of each of them in there. It was difficult, man. I'm telling you. So this is great. August 31st is two days after he's arrested he's going right to the press yeah
Starting point is 01:09:48 he's i'm an innocent man he goes to cbs 13 in sacramento and he says that he could not have possibly committed the 821 the august 21st sexual assault robbery ATM run there. Gunpoint blowjob affair. Because he has an alibi. He couldn't have possibly done it. He was at a family reunion in Madera, which is 150 miles away. Right. He says he has hotel receipts,
Starting point is 01:10:18 pictures from the reunion, and a hotel surveillance video that proves that there's no way he could have made it back in time to do the robbery you shoot jizz a hundred miles sir is that how it works i think so what he's trying to do is skewer the timeline yeah right and say well i was there at seven and it takes four hours even though it actually takes three right he's trying to pull that shit but i mean he's making a serious case for himself so what he really did was go to a goddamn family reunion and get so goddamn bonered up that he had to go rob and get fucking blow jobs
Starting point is 01:10:51 first of all where what family is this yeah where were they when he was a kid selling yeah crack on the corner where nobody said let's help this poor fucking kid out all he had was his mother he had no i hope his father's family hasn't come around now. Why are you reuniting with that family? They're assholes. They're complete pieces of shit. They abandoned you. They abandoned you. This one taught you how to cut rocks. What the hell's going on? What a dick. So Sergeant Andrew
Starting point is 01:11:17 Pettit here of Sacramento after he was said, you know, Keith Wright told his side of the story to the press. He said, quote, Mr. Wright will have his opportunity to give his defense in court. We feel confident that Mr. Wright is the correct suspect because we have scientific evidence that says that. Because there's these swimmers all over this chick's face that match the same ones in his dick.
Starting point is 01:11:39 And her comforter and her carpet. And pretty much all over the house. Oh, there's some in the front seat of her car. It's everywhere. Jesus. So, from the same article here from the 31st where he was just, you know, CBS 13 going at him. He's got his friends, too. His friend Derek Franklin here, who writes, quote, neighbor and friend.
Starting point is 01:12:00 Which says to me, he's a guy whose garage he goes over to sit and drink beer, basically. He's the guy they sit in the fucking garage and bitch about their wives together when they get drunk at like 11 o'clock on a weeknight. Absolutely. I feel like that's this guy, Derek Franklin. He said... Derek Franklin sounds like a guy that probably played some stickball or some street football with a friend.
Starting point is 01:12:19 He played some high school football. And, you know, he's like, oh, this guy played in the league. This motherfucker played for so many teams. He played in the league, man. That's what he's saying oh this guy played in there he played for so many teams he played in the league yeah and that's what he's saying he went all over the place he says that right is a devoted family man who always spends time with his wife and son called the charges just completely false said quote i don't believe it he's just not that type of person i mean they are just flabbergasted never forced me to give him a blowjob at gunpoint. Hey, every time I give him a blowjob,
Starting point is 01:12:45 it's voluntary. Let me tell you right now. He ain't never robbed me. When I borrow his money, I don't have to get it out of the ATM. I'm blowing for a great practice squad story.
Starting point is 01:12:55 At this point, they execute a search warrant of Wright's home and find property from all three robberies. Wow. All three victims robbed. So he just saved this shit.
Starting point is 01:13:05 Why don't you pawn the shit, you idiot? Get rid of this shit. He's trying to get rid of the currency but not their stuff. He keeps their stuff. Then he's linked with DNA when those results come back. DNA matches up to him in there so he is fucked. Basically at this point. There's no other way around it.
Starting point is 01:13:22 No doubt. We got science. We got all their shit here. Some guy said you tried to give him qatari money it's it's a mess so the jury convicts right on the three home invasions which have a 19 total charges wow this is october 22nd 2001 here are his convictions deep shit four counts of forced oral copulation three counts of first degree burglary four counts of first degree robbery five counts of kidnapping three counts false imprisonment holy shit that's a long list stiff yeah that's a stiff docket of charges there that is 19 and none of those charges are like you know driving without your seat no they didn't throw in any extras.
Starting point is 01:14:05 These are all heavy charges. These are fucking bad. And these are in California? Yeah, convicted, too. He's convicted. Where'd he go? Did he go to Pelican Bay? I don't know, because he got transferred around a little bit.
Starting point is 01:14:15 So I don't know where he is now, because nobody does any follow-up shit on him because nobody cares about this guy. Because he's lost. He's literally lost to time. I love it. This is the only comprehensive anything. I love it.
Starting point is 01:14:27 There's a story, like I said, you'll get a story from 2005 that talks about his childhood for a minute. And you'll get a story from the robbery time that just talks about the robbery. There's nothing that puts this all together. No one cares, basically. You guys are the only people that give a shit about this fucking guy. And us. We're the idiots that are telling you about it. So he is sentenced. Sentencing for november 16th 2011 all right
Starting point is 01:14:50 sentencing judge michael savage not the radio guy an actual judge michael savage one of the best sentencing fucking i feel like these guys practice this oh they do they write them out and then they do them in the mirror and they're like, I can't wait to deliver that one one day. This is their signature. Yeah. This is like a judge's signature, man. This is how you can
Starting point is 01:15:10 really throw your stink on something. Yeah. This is like when a doctor is in med school and they're like, how am I going to get this prescription signature down?
Starting point is 01:15:19 I've got to get it perfect. Yeah, this is their brand. And this is their shit. This is like when Walt Disney was drawing Mickey Mouse. Yeah. He was like, I want the ears to be like this. This is how they do it. This is, yeah, this is their brand. And this is their shit. This is like when Walt Disney was drawing Mickey Mouse. Yeah. He was like, I want the ears to be like this.
Starting point is 01:15:27 This is how they do it. This is their voice. This is Kanye's Yeezy shoe. It's like a comic's voice, basically. No doubt. A judge after a while when they're really, they have to practice insulting people the first couple of years. They're like, man, I ripped him, but I think I didn't rip him just right.
Starting point is 01:15:40 Like four or five years in, they're like, I think I'm finding my voice at this. I think I'm getting this. This is Larry the Cable Guy's getter done. Exactly. He's there. This is a great one here because this sums it up beautifully. He could say this to basically anybody we've covered so far. This is just a generic statement that covers crime and sports.
Starting point is 01:15:58 I'm so excited to hear this. We should make this like our cover photo and everything we have. Michael Savage, quote, should make this like our cover photo on everything we have michael savage quote i have the distinct impression that your ability to sack quarterbacks worked much like a get out of jail free card that may have given you the wrong impression about whether or not you are required to follow the rules of this society i love him you sir may fuck off and may he ever fuck off. He may fuck off for the longest sentence in crime and sports history. No doubt. He's the longest in prison guy that we've ever covered.
Starting point is 01:16:32 How much is it? He is sentenced to 114 years to life. Holy shit. Plus 120 years and eight months. Just to make sure. For a total of 234 years and 8 months to life. Holy shit. So just in case you're still alive after 234 years and 8 months,
Starting point is 01:16:54 not so fast, asshole. There's a little more. We have some leeway still not to parole you, you complete and utter piece of shit. Go find some sand to move. We got a big pile right there so oh on top of that restitution to the victims and he has to reimburse the county for the court of the prosecutor the cost of the prosecuting his 19 felonies which he's in jail for
Starting point is 01:17:16 243 years how many piles of rocks could you move he's got time to work out money yeah i know i don't know what is qatari currency worth in rock-moving money? You know what I mean? What is Qatari currency worth in rock-moving money? He really should have started the Reno by the Sea ad campaign. Absolutely. He would have had a much better life. That is so much time, though.
Starting point is 01:17:38 Just an amazing amount of time. That's me, my children, and my wife all together will never live that long. No. Combining our years together. No. That is so much time. That was like, I think that's like if George Washington got arrested, he'd be just getting out now. Think about that.
Starting point is 01:18:00 If the British arrested George Washington for oral copulation. For musket point for oral copulation for musket point blow jobs he'd be getting out now with his powdered wig and his hat this is confusing this world is a little different it's a little different yeah exactly so when he gets out there'll be spaceships whizzing by his head unbelievable he's and the whole time, too, he's yelling that this is on the trite and get a fair trial and that it's a, quote, miscarriage of justice. They have your DNA on this chick
Starting point is 01:18:33 and you have a bunch of shit that you stole from these people. The only miscarriage of justice is that you didn't take your prowess from college and transfer that into the NFL and have a fucking successful life. The miscarriage of justice is that you fucking ruined something.
Starting point is 01:18:48 You've ruined something. Not just that woman. You ruined whoever she marries forever because she's never sucking that man's dick. No. Ever. Unless it's at gunpoint because that's the fucked up psychology that people have. Yeah, no doubt. That's what she'll need now.
Starting point is 01:19:02 She needs that. It's the only way she'll get off now. I need it. It's true. And all the time, if you look at psychology, whenever kids get anything done to them,
Starting point is 01:19:10 that's what they need later on. Yeah. That's why people are fucked up. That's the whole point. The poor guy. Whoever she marries, I feel so bad for him.
Starting point is 01:19:18 I feel bad for just about everybody in this story. But like I said, the mistaken identity people in this story. That's so crazy. Because it's such a common name. There's such a common name there's so many and there's so many and i could have taken i mean i had to cut it off just so we didn't go all night with fucking you know in the amazing
Starting point is 01:19:34 part is that there's so many of them chasing a football dream too oh yeah now current ones chasing it and other guys who have been there and i think there was a cornerback named keith wright also what the fuck in the 2000s like at this around the same time that this keith wright was kicking maybe like late 90s i'm almost positive of it so it's it's crazy man the whole thing's nuts this guy is luckily in jail thank god which is good it's when he got when he's done in the league in 2006 like i get he's probably depressed, and he's like, practice squad, practice squad. Because when he got that deal with the Bucs there, that two-year deal, that had to be like a lifeline.
Starting point is 01:20:10 Shining moment. It's finally. Because he got the three-year deal and got cut, and this is two years later. So he had to be like, fuck, I'm redeeming myself. This is going to work. I'm going to go to Germany.
Starting point is 01:20:20 Yeah. Start over. He has two degrees. When he's done in the league, how do you resort to criminal activity? the nfl you have access to people you have access to business people that you should have been making connections you played on four professional football teams you know so many connections but i'm talking just i mean you how do you not get a job in one of these companies that sponsored the team that when they come in to meet everybody you said hello how do you not get a job in one of these companies that sponsored the team that when they come in to meet everybody, you said hello to them and all?
Starting point is 01:20:46 How do you not go, hey, man, do you need an extra guy to be like? I've got two degrees. I've got two degrees. Right. And I'm kind of, you know, people kind of know who I am a little bit. I kind of know stuff about this sport. Yeah. Anything in Sacramento, I'm kind of a famous guy there.
Starting point is 01:20:58 Yeah. Shit like that. Instead, no. He said, I'm going to be in Sacramento making women blow me for Qatari currency. Those are separate incidents, but still, good God. So luckily, he's in prison. Keith Wright. It's essentially over.
Starting point is 01:21:12 I guarantee you, you never heard of that guy. You never knew what the hell that guy did. I didn't know he existed. No, I had no idea that guy existed. And Jesus Christ, I'm not happy that he doesn't exist, to be honest with you. There's another person that's very very very regretful that he survived an abortion oh god
Starting point is 01:21:26 imagine his mother that would have been imagine if she just fell down the stairs at like three months pregnant the whole world saved a lot of trouble
Starting point is 01:21:34 not that I encourage or want bad things to happen to people but she didn't need a kid no she's a crackhead she clearly was an unfit mother
Starting point is 01:21:41 I would say she's sending her kid to buy crack at seven at seven holy shit we've all been mad at our parents yeah all of us all of us can look back at something our parents did and be like yeah they were really fucking assholes yeah they really did me wrong there i can honestly say they never made me buy crack ever i don't think they ever sent me to buy anything not crack no my aunt when i was a little kid used to make me ever sent me to buy anything. Not crack. My aunt, when I was a little kid, used to make me go to buy cigarettes. Really?
Starting point is 01:22:07 Yeah, she'd call them and be like, I'm sending my nephew to buy cigarettes. That's awesome. And she'd make me go buy cigarettes for her when I was eight years old. That feels borderline illegal. That's awesome. It was very illegal. Yeah, but I mean like. They didn't care.
Starting point is 01:22:17 Nobody gave a shit back then. But it was the 80s. Nobody gave a fuck. But it wasn't crack rocks. No. And I had no chance of being like you know
Starting point is 01:22:26 held up for my cigarette money for your 225 yeah for my two and a quarter back then or whatever but this guy sending him to get
Starting point is 01:22:34 crack rocks what a mess man unbelievable but yeah so that's Keith Wright guys in a nutshell that was a fun wow
Starting point is 01:22:39 it's a mess man I really liked it I liked it too I really did it was one where I feel like I feel like we earned that one because we really had to fight for it. We struggled with him.
Starting point is 01:22:49 It's not... Well, it was a struggle to find all that stuff. Yeah, that's what I mean. It was so much to find. There's just not a lot. He wasn't covered. And I don't know why. Why wouldn't you cover that?
Starting point is 01:22:58 It's so interesting. Good God, man. What's wrong with these people? There's so much going on from day one to fucking today. People with your goddamn journalism degrees, get your shit together. Because we're not journalists. We're comedians.
Starting point is 01:23:09 We're doing the best we can. He's eating off a steel tray right now, and nobody fucking knows it. Nobody, man. It's crazy. It's terrible. So that's him. We have to, before we wrap this up, we have to give a thank you to Mark Busby. Yes.
Starting point is 01:23:24 He is the ambassador of the crime and sports movement Busby. Yes. He is the ambassador of the crime and sports movement Australia Chapel. Yes. Because this guy sent us, last night we had our show with the Tempe Improv

Starting point is 01:23:48 And he's got a folded up piece of paper. I was terrified. And he said, I got an email. And we looked at each other like, what did we do last time we worked together? Oh, shit. Did we piss somebody off? Did we tell someone to go fuck themselves? Did you make somebody give you a gunpoint blowjob, Jimmy?
Starting point is 01:24:01 I swear to God. I told you to stop that. Did I call a patron a whore? Because I've done that before. Because that happens. Yeah. It's a comedy club. So it turns out he was just informing us that some crazy Australian man that he didn't know
Starting point is 01:24:15 Threatened to beat him with a wallaby. Threatened to beat him with a wallaby if we were not giving beers on him. On him. On Mr. Busby. So that is awesome. So Mr. Busby here, here mark busby wins the longest distance to send someone a beer contest from another from the other side of the world he sent a beer from tomorrow yeah all the way back in time he put it in a fucking time machine and sent that shit back

Starting point is 01:25:24 It's a big mash of shit of how many listeners you have. It is also reviews. It's a big mash of shit of how they do their algorithm. The algorithm is a fucking nightmare. So to get us on the charts, to get us in the top 150 in our category, that type of thing, reviews are what gets you there along with everything else. So we really, really need the reviews. Get us on
