Crime in Sports - #40 - Would You Kill For A Pizza? - The Homelessness of Darrell Allums

Episode Date: November 1, 2016

This week, we take a look at a man who was as much of a failure on the basketball court as he was in life. His career was short, but that just left him more time to pursue other activities, s...uch as finding crack, smoking crack, then finding ways to get more crack. He was a menace to any polite society, especially the poor pizza delivery men of Los Angeles. It's sad, twisted, sordid tale of human disaster. In other words, he's right up our alley.Get cut by your team, grab a screwdriver, and steal anything that isn't bolted down with Darrell Allums!! Check us out, every Tuesday.

Starting point is 00:01:50 Let me tell you something. This crazy train is moving. I hope you guys enjoyed last week's episode. Lee Murray, that was by far one of my favorite stories that we've done.
Starting point is 00:02:00 What the fuck? I'm still... An insane person. I can't believe it. He's crazy. And by the way, guys, I have a Lee Murray tidbit for you guys. Stay tuned to the end of this story
Starting point is 00:02:11 that we're going to get into here, our weekly lunatic, for a Lee Murray piece of information that is awesome. I can't wait. It's a little thing, you know, maybe if somebody wants to correspond with him. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:02:22 You never know. Terrific. We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it. But thanks everybody also for iTunes reviews this week. Thank you for interacting with us. We really appreciate it. Thanks for being on board.
Starting point is 00:02:32 It took up my whole goddamn week. Well, yes. There were so many people. Yeah. You guys are awesome. And I had to, I just did, I feel like a shithead when I see one that's just hanging out there and I don't acknowledge it.
Starting point is 00:02:45 So I like being able to talk to people. And there's so much, though. It's pretty daunting. It's a daunting task to keep up with. And we want more. Yeah. We love it. Just thank you guys.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Any help, thank you guys. Thank you for spreading the word. We've had a very good week with listeners and everything. And thank you guys so much. We're going to do a little thing also this week right now. We're going to give we have city and country rankings so you guys can compete with each other.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Because I know you guys have gotten kind of territorial about it. Number one city this week was London England of course. London is our number one city every single week. I can't believe that. We have three times
Starting point is 00:03:25 as many listeners here in the States as we do in the UK. There's more people, basically, but London is our strongest city. Every week they represent. God damn it,
Starting point is 00:03:34 we love you London so much. It's unbelievable. New York number two this week, which is usually Chicago, but Chicago's distracted with the World Series going on and everything like that. They got other shit to worry about.'ve got other shit to worry about.
Starting point is 00:03:45 They've got other shit to worry about. The countries, too. We have US, UK, 1 and 2. And then we have Australia just edging out Canada. Way to go, BuzzFeed. You guys are within 20. Way to promote, BuzzFeed.
Starting point is 00:03:59 You're really close, you and Canada. You guys are fighting it out. Our number 5 country this week was El Salvador, which I have no idea how El Salvador got into the game, but they are. That's so weird. You guys can compete out there for listens and get more listens coming from your home region. Please, we beg you.
Starting point is 00:04:17 I don't know. We're trying here. We depend on you guys. The crime and sports movement, you've done it so far for us. Thank you so much. It's been amazing. So thank you. I can't believe it.
Starting point is 00:04:27 And to say thank you and to show you guys just our love and gratitude. Undying affection and appreciation. We have a goddamn maniac for you this week. Just as a here you go, guys. This is from us. Thumb through this. Thumb through this. This gentleman here.
Starting point is 00:04:44 I didn't do a Halloween. We didn't pick a Halloween-themed episode this week. They're all Halloween. They're all scary. They're all dressed as normal people, but they're assholes. But they're assholes, yes. This guy's costume is he's a giant asshole dressed up as a basketball player in this particular case. Yeah, that's the Halloween costume is their fucking uniform.
Starting point is 00:05:05 It is. It's their uniform. But underneath it all, they're a piece of shit. And these particular guys, usually a jumpsuit from a prison, an orange one, probably zipping up in the front.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Some DOC numbers down the leg. Something like that. What Lee Murray wore into the ring, basically. Right. And tonight's lunatic is Daryl Alums. Now, a lot of you guys probably never heard of him.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Jim, you ever hear of him? Never. Ever heard of him before we brought this up? I haven't either. He played a short-lived stint in the NBA. All right. And he's a crazy person that nobody knows about. These are the stories I love.
Starting point is 00:05:35 We said it before. We could do Michael Vick, and we could do Chris Benoit, and we could do all the, you know, whatever, all just the stories you've heard a million times. But we kind of like finding the weird. And we'll get to all those, too. Don't get me wrong. We will get to those and we'll do them our way.
Starting point is 00:05:50 We'll really dig on them deep. But we like these little weird stories of strange people you've never heard of. The nuggets that are tucked away. Yeah. They're so fun. That's what I like to look for. Do you know where it might be? Because some of these guys we've never heard of.
Starting point is 00:06:05 But people like to discover. That's what it is. Or we've heard of some of these guys we've never heard of. But people like to discover. That's what it is. Or we've heard of them, we know they've committed a crime, but we don't know the extent. I feel like it's being buried and we are the little scumbags with the flashlights,
Starting point is 00:06:15 shining lights on these assholes. We're trying. We do our best. We're not journalists, we're comics. You haven't heard about this because the NBA
Starting point is 00:06:22 didn't want you to hear about it. Yeah. I mean, we do all we can. I break my ass. I do as much research as humanly possible with the resources that I'm allotted. I'm not a reporter. I can't go fly around the country and ask people questions and interview them and that sort of thing.
Starting point is 00:06:37 I'm a comedian. If I happen to be where you are, maybe I'll ask somebody. Probably not, though. I'll probably just find the information. I don't really want to get involved that deeply with these people let's get into daryl alums a formal a former nba player he is daryl wilbert alums killer middle say it with me now yeah junior joining our junior hall of fame with such winners such as eddie johnson and mel hall you know people like that carlton dodson i think was a junior also these fucking idiots a ton of Junior Hall of Fame with such winners such as Eddie Johnson and Mel Hall.
Starting point is 00:07:06 People like that. Carlton Dodson, I think, was a junior also. Complete fucking idiots. There's a ton of juniors, honestly, if I remember. But joining our junior lunacy here. We have done, this is number 40, and I would venture to bet that there's at least 12 or 15. I was going to say at least 25% are juniors, which is insane. It's crazy. Everybody. We'll say it before we've 25% are juniors, which is insane. It's crazy. Everybody.
Starting point is 00:07:25 We'll say it before we've said it before. We'll say it again. Don't name your kid after yourself. Never. Especially, especially if there is any chance of that kid having even the slightest shred of athletic prowess. Don't name him after yourself. Or the opportunity that you may leave. Don't leave that kid wandering around the world with your fucking name.
Starting point is 00:07:43 He will grow up, get famous, and fuck up and just destroy your goddamn name. So don't do it. Don't leave that kid wandering around the world with your fucking name. He will grow up, get famous, and fuck up and just destroy your goddamn name. So don't do it. Don't do it. And that is your penance. You deal with that. And even if you were good, though, to them, like some of these guys, they had a nice upbringing, they're still disasters. It's like, good God. You deal with it because you deserve it.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Remember poor Stanley Wilson? His poor Bible-reading parents sitting on the couch going, what happened to Stanley? Hilarious. Oh, it's awful. So Stanley, I almost said it again, Daryl,
Starting point is 00:08:10 Daryl Alums here. He's born September 12th, 1958. Another Los Angeles kid, just like Stanley a couple weeks ago. That city will ruin you. Well, hey, man. He grows up in Linwood,
Starting point is 00:08:22 goes to Linwood High School. Not a lot is known about his early life, childhood. Apparently he had a stable environment, it seems like, later on. His mother's still around. She's not on some walkabout like Carl Dodson's mom or something like that. Forced him to go buy crack and stuff.
Starting point is 00:08:40 She's not making him buy crack like Keith Wright's mom later on. He seems to have a normal upbringing. crack and stuff. She's not making him by crack like Keith Wright's mom later on. So we're, you know, they seem to have a normal upbringing. The school, I saw his yearbook. I found the Linwood yearbook for his senior year and I saw a picture of the basketball team
Starting point is 00:08:55 and he's, he grows up, he's 6'9 when he graduates, when he goes to college. So he's the center of the team. He's 18 years old, 6'9. Yeah, and he's this giant, six foot nine yeah and he's this giant giant black kid and like the other kids are way shorter and most of them are much whiter yeah so you can tell this is not a basketball powerhouse like inner city school well is kevin bacon their coach did he go probably the air up there he went and snagged him off the plane somewhere. From some fucking canyon village.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Unbelievable. But he actually leads Linwood High School to a 3A championship. I guess that's the level, the 3A high school championship. It depends on how many kids populate your high school that determines how many A's you have, I guess. I only know that because I went to a 5A school. That's a bigger school, right? It's a big school. So 3A in Los, right? Right, it was a big school. So 3A in Los Angeles means you live kind of out in the street. Right, you're out in the sticks.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Yeah, yeah. Because otherwise they'd cram as many people as they could fucking cram into there. Tax dollars. They've got to stretch themselves as far as they can. Come on, guys. Let's go. Keep it moving. They just put a funnel in and just shoot them through.
Starting point is 00:10:02 He came into high school as a freshman. He was only 6 foot one so think about that because he must have can't come into school and he's only six one and even if he liked basketball it's not like they're like hey join the team we need you he's just same height as a lot of other kids i'm sure six foot one when he came into high school six one in in ninth grade yes at 15 years old yeah he. He was six foot one. He was only six one, which was normal. I was six three.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Were you? In ninth grade, yeah. Oh my God, I was four foot eight. I grew nine inches in the summer between eighth grade and beginning of ninth grade. Basically, I went from being kind of average to average and a little bit pudgy and sort of, you know, fat, I guess you could say and then like three months later I was six foot three and I have not been able to gain any weight since
Starting point is 00:10:50 then no matter how much ice cream I fucking eat that's hilarious exactly that's it's I think he had a similar experience here only stretched out over high school and I never grew to six nine thank god I graduated high school five foot three no nice so I what is that that's That's 8 inches.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Yeah, that's not bad. 8 inches when you're 4'8", ain't shit. No, that's not great. That's not helping much. You're hoping for more. Yeah. As a senior in high school, he was dominant as a player on the floor. Really?
Starting point is 00:11:18 18, averaged 18 points and 18 rebounds a game. Yeah. So you're averaging 18 and 18. That's strong. That's pretty impressive. You're looking strong. Like I said, in the 3A pool, though, who knows? There might have been like a 5-foot, or, you know, a 6-foot-3 white kid trying to guard
Starting point is 00:11:33 him, and he's 6-foot-9 dunking on him. They got no chance. Yeah. He's very clutch, too, in high school. There's a story that one of his coaches tells about when they won the state championship, he went to the free throw line, and they were down by one, and he hit both shots to put them up by one to win the championship. Oh, look at him.
Starting point is 00:11:51 That was the end of the game. Pin rows on his nose. Yeah, so he's got some clutch. So in that area, you would think the local colleges would see that and be like, we want that kid. He's a tall kid, 18 and 18, and ice water in his veins. He's training free throws at the end. So UCLA comes after him, comes a-calling. that and be like we want that kid he's a tall kid 18 and 18 and ice water in his veins yeah free throws at the end yeah so ucla comes after him comes a calling oh how about that and they
Starting point is 00:12:10 they're in the 70s ucla now or you know if you follow college sports they're mediocre but you know they're top 25 here and there but they're not a powerhouse national championship in any sport really at the moment i don't know about volleyball or something like that but real sports that people pay attention to they're not they're not uh sorry volleyball players if you play volleyball good for you but there's not 40 000 people watching you for a reason that's there's a point there's no vva no so whatever it is or nva yeah the march there's no volleyball march madness that doesn't occur where people bet on it and have brackets. But, so, yeah, UCLA was a powerhouse through the 60s and 70s. John Wooden was their coach.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Not a basketball, not a college basketball fan. John Wooden still was. He's the most legendary coach in the history of coaching. Kind of the shit. Pretty much anything of any sport and any sort of... He's their Bear Bryant. Absolutely. Wooden had coached there from 1948 to 1975.
Starting point is 00:13:12 1948 to 1975. That's how long he was there. Damn near 30 years coaching college basketball. That doesn't happen. No. You don't stick around that long anymore unless you're Coach K. Or somebody that's just really great at what they're doing. That gives you an idea of what he did.
Starting point is 00:13:28 And from 63 to 75, they won 10 championships. Holy fuck. Ten. Think about it. Teams don't win 10 total ever nowadays, 10 national championships. He's got a ring for each finger. And including, they went through a period there where they won seven in a row. Just every year, they win the championship.
Starting point is 00:13:46 It's ridiculous. So that's how dominant. It's just wooden. No one's ever been more dominant in college basketball before or after, for that matter. Even more after. Not at all. But he leaves in 75. And 76 is when alums come to the program.
Starting point is 00:14:04 All the luck so all the luck all the luck so they're in a bit of a transition period at this point from having this legendary czar of basketball
Starting point is 00:14:12 to now you know some of his assistant coaches start taking over like Gene Bartow is his first coach alums has three college coaches
Starting point is 00:14:21 really he has three college coaches wow that's terrible in four years three coaches you get three head coaches. Wow. That's terrible. In four years, three coaches. You get three head coaches in four years. It's unstable, basically. A bit.
Starting point is 00:14:29 So he has Gene Bartow. When you're a college basketball player, that's essentially your father figure. That's the guy that... He recruited you. Can you imagine having three fathers in four years? Well, in college, what they do is they come to your house. Yeah. And they tell you how...
Starting point is 00:14:43 They talk to your mom. You guys are going to take... You guys, together guys together are gonna be a family and do great things right and then they're gone and there's just some other guy that shows up and is like jesus it's like a stepdad that you didn't even like meet first the mom didn't even bring him over for approval right she just got married and he came in with a movie this is your father yeah you all showed up with some guy and she was like, he's moving in, call him dad now. Alright, moving on. That's hilarious that we both take and give that
Starting point is 00:15:09 woman, a woman that would do that to her children, that voice. She smokes a few cigarettes. She's smoking. I feel like. It's like she's watching Mary Tyler Moore, some guy wanders in and goes, go clean your room and you're like, who are you? And then she goes, respect your father. She drinks cheap gin. You know the lady.
Starting point is 00:15:26 We all know the lady we're talking about. She's very sad because she played volleyball in college and no one paid attention to her. She's very upset with that. She's just upset. So, yeah, Gene Bardo comes in here, and he does the first year of alums college. He coaches them the first year. He leaves, though though to create the
Starting point is 00:15:45 athletic department at uab which is the university alabama birmingham which they're a tournament team and everything they didn't even have teams at that point right he came in and built an athletic department became their first coach so i don't know that was an interesting uh something for him to do to leave ucla i think he just saw the writing on the wall. Probably. Yeah, and also, too, there was an investigation in 1976 that ends up getting dropped, but maybe he kind of smelled the smoke on that one and wanted to get out of the line of fire, possibly. But there's an article kind of about their disappointing 1975-76 season, their first without John Wooden, and the article, honestly, it's pretty boring. I'm not going to bore you guys with the details. They basically say they didn't win the
Starting point is 00:16:30 title, and they always win the title, and it'll be a time of transition. But the thing that got me was this amazing sale at Kingsbury Tire. That's what got me in 1976. So if you're in la and you're in 1976 stop by kingsbury tire for a dual for some some dual steel radial truck tires are only 39.99 a pop 40 bucks a tire you get some compact car tires for 1995 a piece ball joints are only 49.99 and delco batteries are 25 off And if you come in today, and I mean today, March 30th, 1976, you get a lube and oil change for only $5.88. Wow, what a deal. Also, from what I read, Delta Airlines is very excited to announce 35% off any round-trip ticket you make to freeway purchase. That's just something you want to do. But that car that required that maintenance cost three grand brand
Starting point is 00:17:25 new oh absolutely that's unbelievable to me we'll get into some car prices here in a moment yeah so 1976 here this is the first time daryl tries cocaine guys surprise cocaine's gonna be a character in our story this week why the fuck we've had a few of these late 70s early 80s boy that was like i can't get over it in thes, it was like a magic elixir. Yeah. They were like, you snort this. I saw an episode of Taxi a while back. Remember Taxi?
Starting point is 00:17:52 Yeah. With Danny DeVito. Okay. I saw an episode of Taxi because... I'll sit and watch an old episode of Taxi. Shit, yeah. So I'm watching an old episode of Taxi. Isn't it crazy how Danny DeVito actually, throughout his life, has gotten better looking?
Starting point is 00:18:06 Like, when you look at that show, you're like, is that guy dying? Is he sick? And Danny DeVito, by the way, in Taxi is pretty much what he is in Arrested Development. Always Sonny and Philly, just when he was younger. It's like the Frank character 30 years earlier. With longer hair, same bald spot.
Starting point is 00:18:22 It's so bizarre. Anyway, back to the Coke. I'm watching Taxi, and Latke gets his grandmother's cookie recipe. Latke's Andy Kaufman, who played Latke. He can be that guy. I love him. He basically gets this recipe, and this recipe are these cookies that everyone says taste gross, but they can't stop eating them because they're full of cocaine, right?
Starting point is 00:18:44 And on the show show this is like mid 70s like 77 i think this aired they're like basically everybody's in the crowd it's laughing it's the studio audience is going crazy because they're like you know louie's like well what's coke what's this gonna do then you know cocaine and and jim there's christopher lloyd right we all know he said he's sitting there and he's like well you know it makes you feel good and it makes you love everybody and it makes you love everybody and it makes you do... And he starts saying all these, like,
Starting point is 00:19:08 positive things about it because that's all people thought it was back then. That's unbelievable. And everyone's, like, clapping and no one said, like, oh, yeah, by the way, there's a lot of side effects. It'll also fuck your whole life up.
Starting point is 00:19:17 It will take your life, grab it by the arms, tear them off, and beat you over the head with it. It will draw and quarter your life. It absolutely will. That's what it will do. It will draw and quarter your life. It absolutely will. That's what it will do. It will tie your hands and legs to four different horses, and they go running in each direction.
Starting point is 00:19:30 That's what cocaine does to your fucking life. Especially if you're in the NBA, apparently. Right. Every guy we talk to here, or we talk to, we talk about that is in the NBA and likes cocaine. Boy, their life falls apart very quickly. He likes coke right away. Of course he does.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Yeah, he's really. It spoke to him. It spoke to him. He likes it. Here's a little tidbit. On February 4th, 1977, Darryl plays in a JV. His freshman year at UCLA, he played part of the year on the JV squad. He was playing other JV squads.
Starting point is 00:20:05 And he plays in a JV game where he scores 25 points and gets 16 rebounds in this game. So he's looking good. You want to bring him on that varsity squad soon. The event was billed as, quote, beef barbecue and basketball doubleheader. When the food is first billing. First. You are second billing to food. And the food came first.
Starting point is 00:20:27 This is what they did. You get a barbecue beef dinner that they served in the cafeteria at the gym at some junior college somewhere. Oh, my God. You get a barbecue beef dinner, and then everybody goes over to the gym and watches the game. And you get all this for $2.50. What a deal. That's a good deal. That's a bargain.
Starting point is 00:20:45 You get a basketball game and a beef dinner. You get a beef dinner, and then you get to go sit in a gym where everybody in the gym has eaten that beef dinner and is now shitting beef farts. Beef farts everywhere. You blend in. But this is like a four-hour event. What?
Starting point is 00:20:59 This is like a four-hour event with food and entertainment for $2.50. The smell in that room is, if you could bottle it, I'd charge $2.50 for that bottle. Oh, man. I think your inventory would stack up. I don't think anybody would. It'd be like a prank. Jimmy Stink Juice. Come get Jimmy Stank Juice.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Come on down now. It's the bottled concentrate of 5,000 barbecue beef farts. Y'all come on down here. Too fitty a bottle. 5,000 barbecue beef farts. It's the compressed... Barbecue beef farts, by the way, lays potato chips. They've been, like, making all these new flavors.
Starting point is 00:21:38 How did you miss that one, you fuckers? Yeah. That's what your chips smell like when you open the bag. We want royalties. We want royalties on barbecue beef tart Lay's potato chips. We want it. I love it. So also, too, I found out from this article about the barbecue, beef barbecue, and basketball dinner
Starting point is 00:21:54 that at this point in time, February 4th, 1977, you can get a 1977 Monte Carlo coupe for $109.80 a month. Wow. So not bad. Rush on down there. Multiply that. You can take that over to Kingsbury Tire, slap some tires on it for a good price of 588 lube and oil. You got yourself a lean, mean 70s machine right there. Multiply that by 60 and account for the finance rates and all that. That's probably 4200 car that's beautiful that's that's what it should be god damn it you couldn't i don't want to pay 38 000 for a vehicle anymore you can't get a car that's a piece of shit you couldn't get a car that runs for 4500 now it just wouldn't
Starting point is 00:22:36 happen 4200 so on the court at ucla in his freshman year Doesn't play much on the varsity, on the real team here. Only six games. He scores up half a point a game, half a rebound a game. Just doesn't play. Oh, Jesus. 18 total minutes played. So he's just not on the floor. They just brought him in and said, here, sit down and get used to the bench.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Is there 11 guys on the team? I think 12, but I'm not sure about the college roster. He's like the last guy. Yeah, there was a couple. I think that's what they would do, too. They'd. So he's like the last guy. Yeah, and there was a couple. I think that's what they would do, too. They'd bring him off the JV team, kind of like in baseball when you bring guys up in September. Get used to the majors in case you make the team next year, you won't be flustered by it. I think it's one of those things.
Starting point is 00:23:17 He scores three total points. One basket and a free throw. It was his whole season there. That's depressing. Not much. Now, 77, they get a new coach was his whole season there. That's depressing. Not much, you know. Now, 77, they get a new coach, Gary Cunningham. And all these guys that have short tenures, too, they all have good records.
Starting point is 00:23:35 This guy was 50-8 in his two years there. So that's fine, Gary Cunningham. Now, 77, there's this article in Sports Illustrated about, you know, that UCLA isn't that great after John Wooden. Oh, they just realized that? Yeah, they're just, you know, it's not as going as well. They're decent, but not great. Do you expect them to rattle off seven more championships? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Like a random-ass guy? They seem surprised. These articles were all like, they're not the same team since Wooden left. No shit, really. You don't think he was the piece of the integral piece of the pie you fuck? I don't know. I think they just constantly got lucky with the greatest alien players of the planet that no one ever
Starting point is 00:24:16 saw before. So they say that, this is great, they're describing Daryl Alums and some of the other players that were coming in and it says how the major opinion of people watching basketball is that 6'9'' sophomores Greg Sims and Darrell Alums are neither good enough nor tall enough to enable UCLA to win its 12th consecutive Pac-8 title.
Starting point is 00:24:37 By the way, they were Pac-8 back then. At 6'9", he's not big enough. They're centers. Those are their centers. He would have to be 13 feet tall for them to win. Yeah, no shit at this point. So yeah, 70-70 plays in 28 games, which I think is what they played back then. 4.6 points a game, 3.9 rebounds, 14.9 minutes a game. So just not playing much. That's all. I mean, that's all there is to it. He's a bench guy. He's a second tier guy. 78-79 is when Larry Brown comes in. Larry Brown, you might have heard of.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Hall of Fame coach. Coach of the Indiana Pacers. The Sixers. He had Allen Iverson. Won a championship with Detroit Pistons, if we remember. That's right. One horrible, mistaken year with the Knicks. The fucking Knicks.
Starting point is 00:25:21 I'm not going to get into the Knicks. We're not going to talk about it. One horrible, mistaken year with the Knicks. Yeah, Knicks. I'm not going to get into the Knicks. We're not going to talk about it. What a horrible, mistaken year with the Knicks. That is a painful reminder for you, apparently. It just is. 78-79. 28 games again for our
Starting point is 00:25:35 buddy Daryl here. 3.2 points. 3.0 rebounds. So that tells you which we're dealing with there. 14.2 points a game. Minutes per game. Same thing. But he hits 30 of 33 free throws. So it's just a free throw machine. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:25:51 That's Mark Price level. That's like step hurry shit. If they had a designated shooter, he's it. He's the guy, which is weird for a young center. Young centers aren't usually your good free throw shooters. I don't think of Patrick Ewing and Shaquille O'Neal when I think of amazing free throw shooters. And the next year, though, his senior year, it goes right back down to like 60%.
Starting point is 00:26:10 I don't know what the hell. This guy is a complete flake. So 79-80 is when Larry Brown comes in. He plays in 30 games, Darryl Alums, this season. 4.1 points a game. 3.5 rebounds. 12.3 minutes. 50% field goal percentage, which is good. When he's down there, he'll put it in and not fuck it up, basically.5 rebounds 12.3 minutes 50 free throw our field goal percentage which is good
Starting point is 00:26:26 when he's down there he'll put it in and not fuck it up basically so good for you on that one uh 1980 season the ucla team goes 22 and 10 and i'm talking so much about them because they end up going all the way through the tournament to the championship game they get to the final game of the nba tournament, which is remarkable because they were only 22-10 in the year. They turned it on late. Alums was not really a part of this at all. He was a bench player, didn't do much. They lose to Louisville in the championship game. This was before they had all the problems that they have now with escorts and prostitutes, and we'll talk about it someday. I guarantee you we will. I can't wait. Them and Baylor, I can't wait. Those
Starting point is 00:27:04 two have got me riveted. Absolutely. Also, we're going to talk a little bit about Alex Fernandez later, but we'll get into that at the end of the show here. We'll get into that. I've guessed so much. We've got a lot to say about that. We both have a lot to say about that.
Starting point is 00:27:17 So, in the championship game, Alums only plays in four minutes. He plays four minutes, has four points. In the championship game. In the championship game. That shows you how much they respected his ability. And he's a senior, too. He's a senior, so you'd think they'd want him.
Starting point is 00:27:32 It's his last game he's ever going to play in college. He plays four minutes. Not a lot of respect for him there. But they take it as, like, what a great guy he is, too. His mother later on would say, his mother Claudine Walton would say, quote, but Darryl wasn't the type of person to get down there he was on the bench next to the coach cheering so he's a team guy still he's not playing he's not sitting there sulking he's not pulling a you know a scotty pippen right because they called you know he's not doing that he's he's he's cheering
Starting point is 00:28:00 and going on you know i'm still gonna want the to win, but still it's kind of sad, the whole. Unbelievably sad. He's sitting on the bench because he's not playing, obviously. It's last game in college. That's the sad part. He's the cheerleader. But he kind of deserved it because he wasn't very good. But we'll talk more about this.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Now, I talk so much about UCLA because I want to get into a scandal they had while it was going on, while alums was was there and it really came to a head the year after he graduated it's involving a gentleman named sam gil gilbert is our is our he is the silverest of silver-haired middle-aged white men you could get he's the definition of it it's almost like he made it his job description where he put on his resume first and foremost he's like you know facilitate athletes fuck athletes' fuckery. Enable them. You know, do... Score coke.
Starting point is 00:28:48 Do everything I can to society's detriment and my personal gain. That's what he basically does. He's a UCLA booster and general asshole. He's one of these guys who went to the school and hangs around and thinks it's his personal fucking duty to make things happen and give players things. He wants to win, basically. He has a closet full of UCLA shirts. He has three guys that he is business partners with that went to USC that he wants to talk shit to. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:17 And that's what rich guys do. He has toilet paper in his bathroom with USC's logo on it. He has UCLA shirts and hats and fucking visors. He has a visor. That's a man that wears a visor. Oh, absolutely. They measure dick size and how many wins the college football team had the year before. So that's what this is, and that's exactly who this guy is.
Starting point is 00:29:42 He didn't even graduate from UCLA. He went there never actually graduated awesome in the in the in the 60s early 60s he makes a fortune or i'm sorry in the in the 40s makes a fortune as a contractor back then which means that people's legs got broken as we've discussed in the past that's you know contracting back then in any major metropolitan area toilets in for people yeah you, you had some connections to some bad people. Started hanging around the Bruins and the UCLA team in the early 60s, giving out apples and oranges to the players,
Starting point is 00:30:15 like he's some kind of fucking team mom on a kid's soccer team or something. Here's your orange wedges. Who's got oranges this week? Who's got the oranges and the apples? Oh, it's Sam. It's Sam. oranges and the apples? Oh, it's Sam. It's Sam. Whose dad are you? Oh, nobody's dad.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Nobody's dad. I got some apples for you. Yeah, I went to the school. Come on, guys, win. I got to show my dick's bigger than my buddy over here. Come on. So that's who this guy is. Take your vitamin C.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Unreal, man. Did he take them out for pizza afterwards also? Yeah, no doubt. He said, come on, guys, we're going out. Pizza and ice cream on me. Only one topping. Come on, guys. I'm not made of money here.
Starting point is 00:30:45 I didn't make that much of a fortune in contracting. My mob connections aren't that great. They only go so deep. So deep. This is how silver haired this man is. He is known to the players as Papa Sam. Oh my God. Are you serious? How silver haired middle aged asshole can you get? Doesn't get any better than that.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Papa Sam. His nickname is Papa. Papa Sam. That's awesome. He's in the fabric of the program all through the 60s and 70s when Wooden was there. Now he's, Wooden is supposed to be, John Wooden is supposed to be the pillar of upstanding he's supposed to be like Cal Ripken
Starting point is 00:31:17 basically. Or you know George Washington. I don't know. Whoever your country's version of an upstanding person is you know cal ripken's about as solid as it comes i don't like cal ripken but fine you know yeah you could hate me for not liking cal ripken i'm a yankee fan i'm just sick of hearing it and he's not half the fucking i don't care about it's a star we're gonna take a sidetrack here you want to talk about consecutive games played in a row that's fine don't act like that was more impressive
Starting point is 00:31:42 than what lou fucking garrig did because when Cal Ripken did it, not only did he have goddamn airplanes, he wasn't riding on fucking trains from city to city playing fucking day games. Play some day games, Cal. See about that. Not playing 730 when you have time to get therapy all day. Play it 105, motherfucker. And by
Starting point is 00:31:59 the way, in the 20s and 30s, what the fuck is therapy? There is none. There's no trick therapy is tape and here's a beer and a pack of luckies smoke up lou there you go you're feeling better there's muscles starting to ache what's wrong with you oh you died cal ripken's still fucking walking around he's fine he wasn't dying when he was playing was he no lou garrick was lou garrick had to walk away because of it. Right, Cal Ripken couldn't, okay, I'm done with Cal Ripken.
Starting point is 00:32:29 I hope Cal Ripken gets ALS. It would be very fitting. It would be very fitting. Very fitting. Then, then, feel free to talk about it in whatever exalted terms you'd like to. But until then, Lou Gehrig is the Iron Man
Starting point is 00:32:42 and the king of that shit. Sorry, if you're not a sports fan, you still know who fucking Gehrig is. We just wished disease on somebody. All right, let's move forward. Not really. I did. And I really believe it.
Starting point is 00:32:52 But it was Jimmy, the irony of it. It wasn't us. It was the universe pushing. It was Lou Gehrig. It was Lou Gehrig from heaven reaching his hand down, his crippled ALS-r als written hand and placing it upon cal's shoulders you want my record fine you also get my burden here my friend so anyway sam gilbert back to him here nothing to do with any of these people he would have players over to his house for
Starting point is 00:33:20 dinner and like big dinners and would quote just advise them he was the big advisor yeah he would negotiate listen to this he would have guys who got drafted into the league into mba or the aba back then yeah he would negotiate some of these ucla guys pro contracts for them because they didn't really have agents back then and he would do it for just one dollar for like no fee just a one dollar thing, just to help them out. Oh, that's a bit scary. That is what the fuck does that guy want? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:49 That's some mob shit. I'll help you out. No, no. You know what? You don't owe me a thing. You don't owe me a thing. Unless you make the championship game and I happen to have some money riding on it. Down the road, I might call you.
Starting point is 00:33:58 You never know. But for now, don't worry about it. It's one of those. Wait for your phone to ring in a while. One day, I may ask you a favor, and that day may never come. That day may never come. But it might. You never know.
Starting point is 00:34:09 So former player, UCLA player, Lucius Allen, said of Gilbert, quote, there were two people I listened to. Coach Wooden, as long as we were between the lines, outside the court, Sam Gilbert. So that's Coach Wooden, who is the pinnacle of godliness. And I'll be all college sports. And I'll be all. And this fucking asshole. And this orange-wielding douchebag.
Starting point is 00:34:30 And Papa Sam with an orange wedge. Papa Sam with a basket full of oranges flinging them to the seven-foot-tall people. They're like, you know, we have food. They feed us here at the college. So, unbelievable. We just played in a barbecue brisket steakhouse fucking championship. fucking yeah weren't
Starting point is 00:34:46 you there there's tons of barbecue beef oh barbecue beef farts you open the door it's poured out like cheech and chong smoking a cheech and chong car clam bacon asshole smoke so we have a uh uh that remember the investigation i said in 77 that I thought possibly had something to do with the one coach wanting to take a hike? Right. An NCAA field investigator was told to drop his inquiry into UCLA in 77. And personally, now that we kind of know behind the scenes how things work, I think it's pretty clear that they said, hey, asshole, if you find out they've been corrupt for the last 20 years, then our last seven in a row champions, 10 out of our last 12 championships,
Starting point is 00:35:30 that's all tainted. That's all tainted. We all look like shit. It all looks like ill-gotten gains. Let's just say that John Wooden's a god and everything's fine and he's not a silver-haired middle-aged white man and he's not doing anything. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:35:44 And the investigator said, quote, if I had spent a month in Los Angeles, I could have put them on indefinite suspension. So he was confident. You know, he hears shit, and he knew of the fuckery that was happening. It's pretty obvious. Yeah, and including this fuckery here, who found it was the LA Times. Those bastards are sneaky. They found it all later.
Starting point is 00:36:02 They did a lot of good reporting here. These are journalists I like in this case here. They did an investigation piece interviewing dozens and dozens of program and former program people about Sam Gilbert and the whole culture there and what they were up to. Uncovered a ton of improprieties, including they called Gilbert in the article, quote, a one-man clearinghouse who enabled players and their families to receive goods and services, usually at big discounts, sometimes at no cost.
Starting point is 00:36:32 That is the definition, babe. That's the silver-haired, middle-aged white man charter right there. That's the charter. That's the one. They said he laid it down. We had the guy last week that was perfect, too, or two weeks ago. This is right there. So good. It said even during the wooden era, because this is from the mid-'60s
Starting point is 00:36:51 when he came around with his Johnny Appleseed over here, Papa Sammy Appleseed over here flinging fucking apples out, said that even during the wooden era, Gilbert helped players get cars, clothes, airline tickets, and low prices for UCLA season tickets for, you know, friends and buddies. They missed a key one that I guarantee is in there, is girls and coke. Also, co-signed for at least one player's car, and here's the kicker, or even arranged for players' girlfriends to have abortion.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Boom! Yes! He set up abortion. That's awesome. A basket of, just a basket of apples under one arm and a basket of coat hangers under the other. What the fuck is going on in UCLA? That's awesome. Gee, wonder why they didn't want this to come out
Starting point is 00:37:36 with their, you know, exalted godlike coach and all their championships. They have literally an abortion fixer over here. He's an abortion manager. He's a monster. He's a monster. He really is. He's like,
Starting point is 00:37:49 we need a car, this, that, this girl. Oh, you know, she's in trouble, it's all right. Drop her off at my house, I'll take her over to the place. Responsible for basketball
Starting point is 00:37:57 seed genocide. That's awesome. I mean, whatever. If a girl wants to do what she wants to do, that's her fucking business. I mean, I don't care if you're against it for it.
Starting point is 00:38:05 No, no. We're not getting into that with you guys. We don't care. He probably saved a bunch of lives in the process of taking all those. If this, yeah, with these psychopaths, a bunch of juniors running around. We don't want that. But this psychopath probably talking girls into it and forcing them and things like that, which is what I see like, you know,
Starting point is 00:38:25 oh yeah, I've got my girl pregnant and he would go, that's alright, I'll talk to her and he'd go, listen honey, you don't want to ruin your life,
Starting point is 00:38:29 you're a pretty girl. Right. You're a pretty girl. Get your whole life ahead of you. This guy's not going to marry you, you don't want that,
Starting point is 00:38:34 why don't you, you're going to ruin yourself, nobody's going to want you. That's what he probably did back then. In the 60s? Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:39 That would fucking work on her. Absolutely. That's insane. You know what happens to your pussy. Psychopath, yeah. Jesus Christ. He's insane. You know what happens to your pussy. Psychopath, yeah. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:38:47 He's showing them like the miracle of childbirth videos. It's going to look like a wave after it crashes. Don't. Don't do it.
Starting point is 00:38:55 You don't want to do it. Have an apple. Have an apple. Tell you what, that's why he had the oranges. He needed to get their strength up
Starting point is 00:39:03 after their forced abortion. Jesus Christ. This Sam Gilbert guy's an asshole. I hate him. So John Wooden here, they got a quote from Wooden about this, and he's so waffling. He has a quote in a minute that's going to be infuriating. I always thought he was a great guy, and now I'm just like,
Starting point is 00:39:19 I heard this quote and I'm like, oh, no. Not this one, but later. He says here, quote, maybe I had tunnel vision. I still don't think he's had any great impact on the basketball program, talking about Gilbert. I think maybe he's had some impact. Quite a bit. Yeah. In December, enough impact to where in December 1981, the NCAA cited UCLA with nine infractions,
Starting point is 00:39:51 NCAA cited UCLA with nine infractions, gave them two years probation, a one-year tournament ban, and they had to vacate their 80 season. That is steeper than the Penn State penalties. Yeah, for a lifetime of kid diddling. This is worse. This is worse. 40 years of kid fucking, and this guy. They took away previous. The year before when alums was in the final, they're not in the final now. That's like official NCAA record.
Starting point is 00:40:07 They aren't there. They vacate all their tournament wins. The five that led up to the final game aren't theirs anymore. I don't know. That's the stupidest thing I ever heard of they take wins away from you. Right, because they don't give it to the other people.
Starting point is 00:40:17 And the other people wouldn't want it. If you gave it to them, they'd be like, no, we lost that fucking game. No, we'll win a game, and then you can give us that win. And then you can give us a trophy. We don't want anything outside of that. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:40:26 So, yeah, they're on probation there and whatever. An L.A. Times reporter, Alan Greenberg, said, quote, Wooden knew about Gilbert. He knew the players that were close to Gilbert. He knew they looked to Gilbert for advice. Maybe he knew more. He should have known much more. If he didn't, it was only because he apparently chose not to look.
Starting point is 00:40:45 So he's saying, fuck you, John Wooden, basically. John Wooden is Joe Paterno. Well, exactly. He didn't do it himself, but if things were happening
Starting point is 00:40:53 that were helping him inadvertently, it's fine. This silver-aged white, middle-aged white man, Credo. If I can fuck everybody in society over,
Starting point is 00:41:01 but it makes me win by three points, I'd see him all sitting in a circle in black cloaks saying that in the middle of the night. Oh my god. With like chicken blood. Him and Pete Rozelle and like you know, all the different coaches
Starting point is 00:41:13 throughout the year. Coach Pagone from Lawrence Phillips. If anything happens that benefits us, we saw nothing. It's okay. Yes, yes. I'm telling you, they are. It's some sort of messed up secret society. I know it. I see it now.
Starting point is 00:41:27 It's a fucking skull and bones shit. Of? Of basketball. Of college sports. College sports and God knows what. Professional all sports. Of noodnickery. No doubt.
Starting point is 00:41:36 General noodnickery. So Wooden in this 81 LA Times article with the whole expose of this thing, he says this quote that pisses me off royally. He says, quote, there's as much crookedness as you want to find. There was something Abraham Lincoln said. I'm going to pause here for a second. Are you shitting me? The second someone starts quoting Lincoln, I think they're full of shit.
Starting point is 00:42:04 That's just because you can't imp full of shit. That's just, because you can't impugn Lincoln. That's the thing. What are you going to be like, oh, fuck Lincoln. You know what, that's a bullshit quote. If you quote Roman Polanski,
Starting point is 00:42:12 they could say, he's a fucking child molester. But if you quote Lincoln, people just have to go, well, yeah, Lincoln, it was smart. He did free the slaves. He did free the slaves.
Starting point is 00:42:19 Exactly. So he said, there was something Abraham Lincoln said. Abraham Lincoln said, he'd rather trust and be disappointed than distrust and be miserable all the time. Maybe I trusted too much. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:42:30 Wow. He acted like he was the victim. Maybe I trusted too much and they took advantage of me. No, you benefited. Yeah. That's why players went there. Well, that and you were winning a lot. But in the beginning, he said, I can get you cars.
Starting point is 00:42:42 I can get you clothes, airline tickets. Your girlfriend knocked up. Take her over to my house. No problem. We got a one-stop chop shop. Don't worry about it. Car, airline. What we do is we get in there.
Starting point is 00:42:53 We suck that baby right out. We stick her in a new car on the way to the airport to fly off to get discount season tickets anywhere in the country. It's like 35% off on delta on any round trip flight that you want i just saw the ad you need tires by any chance it's kingsbury tire let me tell you okay anyway yeah this unbelievable maybe i trusted too much yeah and oj loved nicole too much fucking assholes swear to god all of them i'm so angry with this whole lot right now. So finally, he's done with college. Mr. Daryl Alums here, not Sam Gilbert.
Starting point is 00:43:34 June 10, 1980, he's drafted by the Dallas Mavericks, the expansion Dallas Mavericks. The worst team name in the history of the NBA. Now, yes, we'll talk about how they got that team name in a second, too. Dallas Mavericks, this is their inaugural they they're this is their first draft class they draft him with the 11th pick in the fifth round so nowadays there's only two rounds of draft that's high that's way out there yeah they're not expecting much from 11 pick in the fifth round the fifth round yeah he's he's down there isn't even five rounds now they draft kiki Vanderwey with the number eight pick, I think,
Starting point is 00:44:06 over a number 11 pick overall. That's awesome. And he ends up not playing for them because he doesn't want to play for an expansion team. Where did he go? Denver they traded him to later on. He played for the Knicks. Yeah. But, yeah, so that was.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Did he play for the Sixers and the Clippers too? I believe so. He got around because he wasn't as great as they thought he was coming out of college. And now he's a commentator. Yeah, when he was hot shit coming out of college. He wouldn't sign with Dallas, which made alums make the team because they needed another forward. Wow.
Starting point is 00:44:30 So they were just like, shit, we need a roster spot. We need to fill a forward spot. We'll take this fifth round guy. He got it by default. By default, that's it. And there was an article saying, yeah, Kiki won't sign, so alums is going to make the team instead, basically. Wow.
Starting point is 00:44:41 They didn't care about him at all. He's the only player drafted behind him worth a shit, because I looked to see who they could have had rather than this idiot. And the only guy was this guy named Lorenzo Ramar. I didn't know who he was. He played five years in the NBA with Golden State, Milwaukee, and Detroit. I don't know. But he was the only guy who played more than one season in the league,
Starting point is 00:45:02 basically. And most of the guys didn't play at all in the league back then. That was the year Kevin McHale was the only guy who played more than one season in the league. Most of the guys didn't play at all in the league back then. Kevin McHale was the big star of that draft. He was number three overall by Boston. That makes sense that they would trim the draft down. You've only got 12 players that make the fucking team anyway. There's more teams now, too. What do you need fucking five rounds for?
Starting point is 00:45:20 Five guys aren't going to make your team. That's half your team. You're not going to redo half the team. That's half your team. Yeah. You're not going to, you know what I mean? They're not going to redo half the team. That's just breaking hearts every year. Absolutely. So the Mavericks, they were awarded the franchise in 79. First year they played was in 80. Their last, Dallas used to have a basketball team
Starting point is 00:45:35 called the Dallas Chaparelles. Oh boy, where'd they go? They moved to San Antonio, became the Spurs in 73. So that's who the Spurs are, or that's who the Spurs were. Yeah. They named the Mavericks after the TV show Maverick. Get the fuck out in 73. So that's who the Spurs were. They named the Mavericks after the TV show Maverick. Get the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 00:45:49 Starring James Garner, the 50s and 60s TV show. Swear to God. Garner was part of the ownership group, which was part of it. They named it? I think God Lassie wasn't about yet. Well, this is the other thing, too.
Starting point is 00:46:01 They were chosen by fans in a mail-in campaign. Their fans are that dumb? This is how they... Raptors for Toronto got chosen. That's right. Because Jurassic Park was popular, and they had a fan vote. And the kids were like, I want the Raptors.
Starting point is 00:46:14 They're cute. Or whatever. They're cute. They're deadly. I like them. They're cool. They sound bloodthirsty. They're bloodthirsty.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Basketball, a blood sport. What? Jesus. So this was in a mail-in campaign. 4,600 postcards were sent in to the Mavericks. This is a different time we're talking here where postcards are sent in. Somebody actually spent money on a stamp. Yep, stamped it.
Starting point is 00:46:36 And a postcard. Jesus. Yeah, and the postcard. So the name Mavericks beat out Wranglers and Express as the two teams. They named everything Express. They were just devoid of anything. In the 80s there was like five wrestling tag teams with the name Express. The LA Express USFL team.
Starting point is 00:46:54 All Express. Isn't there a WNBA team called the Express? I wouldn't be surprised. Probably. I don't know. 1980 he gets married after this so things are looking up. He gets drafted. He's in the NBA. Vanderway doesn't sign. He married new team things are not going to be going well for him for much longer guys i'm just going to tell you we're in for a lifetime this is the pinnacle shit is a bit we'll say shit's about to hit the fan there's someone standing in front of a large large fan an
Starting point is 00:47:19 industrial fan with a big shaking off signs shaking Looking for the heater. Yeah. And he is going to deliver it in a moment and it's going to be wall-to-wall shit in a second here. I'm telling you. Makes his NBA debut on October 11th, 1980.
Starting point is 00:47:34 That was my favorite just Monet painting we've ever painted, by the way. That was gorgeous. And it's about to be a Rorschach. That's fucking amazing.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Oh, it's coming. Yeah. Trust me. Here comes the wave. It's about to be a Rorschach. That's fucking amazing. Oh, it's coming. Trust me. Here comes the wave. It's about to crash. Sorry, ladies. So he makes his NBA debut October 11, 1980 against the San Antonio Spurs, formerly what?
Starting point is 00:47:56 The Dallas Chaparrals. I bet nobody fucking knew that out there. That's fascinating. That's why you come to crime and sports for that kind of shit and a whole lot of crime coming up. Alums scores two points in this game, so just lighting up the world. Monster of the game.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Lighting up the world. I mean, you know the people where kids were swooning and looking for autographs. That guy that scored that one basket in garbage time. That's what it was. Probably. He didn't have any rebounds in the game. No?
Starting point is 00:48:21 No, it was just two points. It was just an assist and he's wide open. He was there. Nobody gave a shit. Oh, shit. I got the ball any rebounds in the game. No? No, it was just two points. It was just an assist, and he's wide open. He was there under the hoop. Oh, shit. I got the ball now, and he put it up. Only played in 22 games in the 1980-81 season for Dallas. 12.5 minutes a game, 2.7 points per game, three rebounds. Was it an 82-game season then?
Starting point is 00:48:39 I think that's when they just moved the cut, yeah. Three rebounds per game, 2.1 defensive, 0.9 offensive, 1.1 assists, 0.2 steals, 0.4 blocks. I go through all of his stats because those are his NBA stats, period. That's it. That's it. We're not getting any more stats from him. Done deal. Because December 1st, 1980, he is waived by Dallas.
Starting point is 00:49:00 Yeah. Gone out of Dallas. He played a fourth of the season, and he was garbage. That's basically what happened that's all he did so he ends up now for some reason while looking all this shit up there's a site called landofbasketball.com
Starting point is 00:49:13 and for some reason one of their posts was a side by side comparison of alums with NBA Hall of Famer Elgin Baylor and I'm like why are you comparing these two? And the comparison was ridiculous because it's like 14 seasons total to one season total.
Starting point is 00:49:30 12 playoffs to zero. 11 All-Stars to zero. 27.4 points per game to 2.7 points per game. Why would they do that? Who the fuck is comparing these two people? Why is that on the internet anywhere? None. Delete that page.
Starting point is 00:49:44 It's the stupidest thing I ever saw. I should have contacted the site administrator. What are you doing? What the hell are you, sir? I have a question for you. How boring is your fucking life? You're fucking about
Starting point is 00:49:57 is what you're doing right now. And I don't care for it at all. At all. So, 81, he signs in the Philippines. The Philippines, like, the other in the Philippines. Mm-hmm. The Philippines, like, the other... That's where I go. Yes, like, the country of the Philippines. He has to play.
Starting point is 00:50:11 He goes and plays basketball. He does not want to sell cars. No, he does not want to sell cars. And he doesn't graduate from UCLA, either. That's the other thing. He goes all four years, but doesn't ever get his degree. He signs with the Utex Wranglers over over there he goes from the mavericks who are
Starting point is 00:50:26 almost the wranglers to the philippines to a team called the wranglers and it's also the u-tex it sounds like texas but you know what it is that sounds much more southern than the dallas mavericks it absolutely does but you know why it was called the u-tex wranglers because it would the owner it was named after the universal textile company that the owner of it oh named after the Universal Textile Company that the owner of it owned. Oh, Jesus. All of the teams over there are named after corporate sponsors. Wow. They're like bad little league teams, you know?
Starting point is 00:50:53 Yeah, of the Philippine Basketball League, the PBL, which I couldn't make up if I tried. Yeah, alums led the league that year in rebounds with 495 total rebounds. Wow. So when he's jumping over tiny Filipino men, it's fine for him. Probably a lot of European guys over there, too. And a few washed-out college players. They had a lot of guys who didn't get drafted by the NBA.
Starting point is 00:51:15 There's a couple of him over there. Those sixth-round draft picks where you go, they're not going to make the team. That's where they're playing. That's where they are. The owner was Walter E. Ewang. He owned the textile company. He was apparently a huge character over there.
Starting point is 00:51:27 With that kind of last name, his parents chose Walter as his first name. Walter. The teams in this league right now include the Moralco Bolts, the NLEX Road Warriors, the Phoenix Fuel Masters, the San Miguel Beer Men, and my personal favorite, the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters. I picture them just a team of Mexican painters going out no matter what. They're out there in coveralls playing basketball.
Starting point is 00:51:54 One of my favorite defunct team name was the Toyota Super Corollas. That's my fucking favorite. The Toyota Super Corollas because they're corporate sponsors. And one of the teams right now, the Mahindra Enforcers, are coached by Manny Pacquiao. What the hell does Manny Pacquiao know? How does he have time?
Starting point is 00:52:11 What does he know about basketball? Yeah. He's 5'8". Yeah. And I've never seen him play basketball. I've never seen his hands without gloves on, for Christ's sake. Coach, but what if they're all crowding the lane? Fucking right cross.
Starting point is 00:52:21 I'm going to make an album run for Congress, fight that guy, and then what the fuck, let's run some wind sprints, guys. Come on, layup drills. Suicides, let's go. Let's do this. What are we talking about here? You missed the game winner. You're running stadiums. On these couple of years with the Mavericks and in the Philippines,
Starting point is 00:52:38 we have our first in their own world for Mr. Darryl Alums, and it's a great one. This is, you know, his what he has to say about his pro basketball career up to this point. It's in their own words, quote, I was introduced to free base cocaine. Oh boy. That was the worst
Starting point is 00:52:55 mistake I ever made in my life. It would later be my destruction. Yeah. And it would. Yeah. And it will, it's not even later. It's very quickly. You should have known that right away. Yeah. 82, he leaves the Philippines and signs with a club team in Puli or Puli, I don't know, Puli, Switzerland.
Starting point is 00:53:13 He goes and plays in Switzerland, signs a two-year deal over there because he was ripping it up and led the league in rebounds over there in the Philippines. So they sign him in Switzerland, two-year deal, plays over there for there for about 18 months does really well he's clean at this point too he later on says this was a clean period i don't know if you just couldn't get cocaine i don't know how much crack they had in switzerland in the early 80s you know what i mean so how much how many free basers there were over there so uh halfway through his second season over there in 83 tears up a bunch of ligaments in his right knee oh no back then you couldn't just fix a knee like you can do now in 1983 so he's done halfway through his second season over there in 83, tears up a bunch of ligaments in his right knee. Back then, you couldn't just fix a knee like you can do now in 1983.
Starting point is 00:53:49 So he's done. Can't play ball anymore. He's injured. He has to come home, retire. The team is paying him for another six months, so that's a good thing. They don't even do any surgery just to fix it. They just tell him, get the fuck out of here. I think they might have did some kind of surgery, but that was not enough to where he could play anymore.
Starting point is 00:54:03 He was marginal anyway. So you take some spring out of his step and back then a knee surgery would not take all the spring yeah I would knock it down some that would lose a step guys all your springs they're all gone can Mickey Mantle he was a bass dealer and then he hurt his knee when his rookie year and then he wasn't a bass dealer it was the end of the end of the deal there so on overseas playing we have a nice in their own words and this is this is him at his nicest here yeah this is a well thought out statement that he wanted to represent
Starting point is 00:54:31 him well in the public this is non-crack right here he's not on crack when he makes this statement non-clouded statement yep they asked him how he liked uh playing in switzerland and he said quote in their own words quote i enjoyed it immensely It was an opportunity to travel abroad and see another culture. The basketball was competitive, and you were appreciated for your talent. That's just, what a good guy, right? He gave a shit about it. That's a smart PR statement right there. Anybody would think so.
Starting point is 00:54:59 Now, 83, 84, he moves back to Los Angeles and is forced to take a job. This is after six months when the team's money runs out and he starts to get broke. I can't wait to hear this. He takes a job in the mailroom of a Los Angeles appliance manufacturer. Oh, no. Because he didn't have a degree either. He's the Maytag man. Not even.
Starting point is 00:55:19 He works in the mailroom. Yeah. They don't even trust him with the washing machine. They don't even trust him going out to fix a flywheel. He's got to stay in. Yeah, he gets the Maytag man's mail. Yeah, and sorts it. That is brutal.
Starting point is 00:55:29 And drops it off at desks and cubicles. He makes his salary for this $10 an hour. Yeah. Which in 83, 84 wasn't like $10 an hour now, but it's still not great if you were playing professional basketball a year ago. Yeah, if you were playing pro ball a year ago, that's making $20,000 a year. If you were playing pro ball a year ago, that's not okay for you. You're not liking that. Now, we have an in their own words on his
Starting point is 00:55:49 mailroom stint here. He actually spoke about it. He did. He spoke later on trying to act like this was later on when he was summing up everything trying to make it come together nicely. He said, quote, in their own words, I wasn't really satisfied with what I was doing doing but at the same
Starting point is 00:56:06 time it was a situation that was convenient was it on his fucking bus route or something what is right do you not have a seven-year-old jaguar like stanley wilson that he could get to place it was close by you know they don't drug test that's a plus i like that that helps i don't have to do shit but walk and grab things. So he's doing that. He's trying to get by as a regular person. Not going so well because in 1985, he checks himself into a 21-day detox program for drugs, obviously.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Everyone said that as soon as he got out of rehab, he went in, he was kind of a mess, got in, 21-day detox and rehab program, whatever they had in 1985. Gets in there. They said as soon as he got out, his drug problem just 100 times worse. Just as bad as it could be. He got out and it was like, just lit the room on fire.
Starting point is 00:56:58 Whoever was holding the shit clump just let go of it. 98 miles an hour toward the industrial fan. Boom. Tell me what you see in this picture. I miles an hour toward the industrial fan. Boom. Tell me what you see in this picture. I've got to go do 28 days worth of Coke right now. Unbelievable, man. 86 is now his life starts to unravel. He separates from his wife of six years.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Remember, he got married in 1980. That was only six years ago where he was drafted into the league, into basketball, be a professional basketball player. Just came from this most storied college basketball program in the country. He's doing well. He gets married. Things are going great. Now he's losing his mailroom job and losing his wife and going to rehab.
Starting point is 00:57:37 He's losing the job of housewives writing letters about their piece of shit whirlpool. And being angry about it. Right. And he's got to just deliver that to the guy that's got to deal with it he's like fuck i can't even open those anymore i really want to see what's going on with those may tags man yo the washers man they were messed up i wanted to help so yeah he he at this point he breaks up with his wife moves in with his girlfriend and this one she must have been a peach this one because they seem like the perfect couple uh they spend the woman's they they they move in together into a five dollar a night motel room in in lynwood first of all he's back
Starting point is 00:58:12 in lynwood back in california he's back in lynwood specifically did we tell you guys back home don't name don't move back home never go back to your hometown go somewhere you don't know anyone live in the street stay away from familiar shit it's better than moving back home because you will get in trouble he moves back five dollar a night hotel which is odd because they say that they spent the woman's and they quote it as saying a substantial a bank a substantial bank account that she had on drugs now why did they move into a five dollar a night bank account if she had a five dollar a night motel room you would end up in a five dollar one after two months you work down you work down you start off i mean nothing fancy you get a red roof in or something just something maybe they looked at a substantial
Starting point is 00:58:54 amount and we're like we can make that last on coke if we live immediately more crack right more crack this is great okay we're gonna move into this shithole just piles of crack every day maybe they had a jar this is our motel savings money and every day they took that out and bought crack with it
Starting point is 00:59:11 like people were quitting smoking so yeah they spent that and I don't know also too it's five dollars a night unreal that's got to be
Starting point is 00:59:18 a piece of shit absolutely so they blow through this woman's bank account so now he's got a coke problem no job no wife no career career, no degree.
Starting point is 00:59:27 Shit's not going well, clearly, at this point. So where do you go from here? Fucking to jail. To jail, because in 1986, alums and a friend both need drug money, so they start scheming to steal things. So now they start robbing places they start out small they end up really the thing they get into is stealing shit from target target stores i don't know if they have target in other countries it's a big department store that's
Starting point is 00:59:54 everything it's one step above walmart yeah it's it's better than walmart it's it's where if you're too attractive for walmart you go to Target, basically. So they start stealing high-end electronic-type shit from Target. That's their game for crack money. He steals a radio for crack, which is even worse. A clock radio or a boombox? That's more 80s than this. VCR, even. VCR is high-end 80s fuckery, like Eddie Johnson and Stanley Wilson.
Starting point is 01:00:23 So July 21, 1986. you know it's bad when we know the exact date at a target store in south gate a store security guard sees alum take both a radio and a camera and tuck them into his wrist you're six nine you're six nine jesus this is what i don't understand you grab attention right away do you cannot be a right if you're an nba player and especially if you're a center you can't do illegal do you cannot be a right if you're an nba player and especially if you're a center yeah you can't do illegal shit you'll get caught look at tom pain yeah he was going around going it wasn't me you're a giant how many seven foot one rapists are walking around the neighborhood none just you sir it's you also a junior i think also right
Starting point is 01:01:00 if i'm not mistaken but unreal so he's that's what he is the most conspicuous person ever so dumb you could just walk down you know the aisles come about six foot six
Starting point is 01:01:10 right your fucking head is poking above they see you if they're not even in the aisle with you they can see you they see you looking
Starting point is 01:01:16 both ways to make sure the coast is clear sir yeah so this security guard who sees him looking both ways
Starting point is 01:01:22 sees him tuck the camera and a radio in his waistband. He's so big he can tuck a radio. A radio. It's probably a boom box. He just put it in there. They used to carry it on their shoulder, and he just jammed it in his waistband. And he's gained a lot of weight, too, by this point. Now he's 275. He's 6'9", 275. He's a big guy. You can't tackle that guy.
Starting point is 01:01:45 No, they let him leave the store with his stuff. They watch him leave the store. They call the police. The police were able to find him pretty easily in the neighborhood because he's the only guy
Starting point is 01:01:53 who's 6'9 walking around. He's the guy that's the size of a refrigerator. Yeah, whatever shirt he had on, he's got a red shirt. He's 6'9".
Starting point is 01:02:01 He'll be the only guy out there that's 6'9". You shouldn't have too much trouble finding him. He's enormous. Can't. He's 6'9". He'll be the only guy out there that's 6'9". You shouldn't have too much trouble finding him. He's enormous. Can't miss him, especially back then. So 1986 robbery, this particular one from the Target. The police pick him up.
Starting point is 01:02:13 He ends up pleading guilty to burglary on this. So he's smart. At least he pleads. They got him on burglary. They got him on burglary, yeah, because I guess he was intending to go do it. But they didn't have shoplifting back then? I don't know. That's fascinating.
Starting point is 01:02:23 But that's what he pleads to. So maybe that was a compromise between robbery and, you know what I mean, and some misdemeanor thing. They said, how about burglary? Right in the middle.
Starting point is 01:02:33 So he spends 53 days in county jail for this. Which, you know, that's nothing to, that's something. No, in county, 53 days, that's over a month.
Starting point is 01:02:42 That's almost two months in county. That's nothing compared Just so you know, overseas, county is a shithole. It's a shithole. That's where you month. That's almost two months in county. That's nothing compared to where he's been. Just so you know, overseas, county is a shithole. It's a shithole. That's where you sit and wait on your sentence for prison if you did something really bad. And it's where you go for a longer bid like this when you do something stupid like this.
Starting point is 01:02:55 He spends a lot more time there later on. We'll get into that. But yeah, he spends that time. He's placed on three years probation in 1986. And he has to submit to regular drug tests. He's got to stay clean, Jimmy. He's going to stay. I believe in him.
Starting point is 01:03:10 He's good now, right? I believe in him. He's good now. He stole some shit, the radio. He's fine. He's not fucking about. He's ready to do his thing. Within the first six months of probation, he fails four drug tests.
Starting point is 01:03:21 In six months? Four drug tests positive for cocaine between late 86 and early 87. Every 45 days he's taking a drug test. Every month. And he's failing. And he's failing. Yeah, he's failing one, yeah, four times already. So the night after his fourth positive test.
Starting point is 01:03:37 60%! 60%! Of his drug tests are dirty. Unreal, right? What an idiot. This guy gets dumber and dumber and dumber. He hasn't even, we haven't even scraped
Starting point is 01:03:47 this dumb surface. If you don't believe that drugs kill brain cells, please pay attention. It's, oh. He's fucking stupid. He's stupid. So the night after
Starting point is 01:03:55 his fourth positive test, he is out driving. First of all, how is he out? Yeah. He's on probation. What the fuck? His fourth test,
Starting point is 01:04:02 put this fucking idiot in jail already. Put him in prison. So anyway, he's driving through Englewood. He ends up on 99th street is where this whole thing happened he pulls his car over to a curb where there's some guys hanging out tries to buy asks for two twenty dollar uh crack rocks from the guy he's trying to buy some crack the guy gets him the crack obviously because that's what he does he's on the whatever he hands him the alums the crack alums handed him back some wadded up newspaper and drove off quick oh no you don't do that you don't do that instead of money so what enough newspaper never good to burn drug dealers
Starting point is 01:04:36 first of all but it's even worse if that drug dealer is an undercover cop because that's who it was an undercover cop i mean technically he didn't buy anything yes that's true he didn't purchase anything unless the newspaper is currency unless the cop can convince a newspaper's currency to me i'm okay with that so he's arrested obviously because they see him drive away they go chase him down he's arrested he's charged with uh cocaine and a probation violation possession of cocaine obviously probation violation he is released on his own recognizance which i don't know why he can't pass a goddamn piss test i don't know why you're going to put him back into the world hearing date set for april 1987 uh now also in 1987 in march of 87 i believe sam gilbert our buddy our silverist of silver-haired middle-aged
Starting point is 01:05:22 white man our enabling son of a bitch is indicted by federal prosecutors for racketeering and money laundering. That's some hardcore federal shit. That's how connected that fuck was. Only thing is, they didn't know it, but four days before they filed these charges, he died. So he never had to face shit. He went through his whole life, didn't even know they charged him. He died peacefully.
Starting point is 01:05:48 They charged him when we're finally going to get this prick. Bring him in. Fuck. He died. I just pictured like... Do you want his cadaver or do you just want his death certificate? That's it. I just picture like in a movie,
Starting point is 01:05:58 like they make the call. All right, it's finally there. The warrant's in. Go get him. And he's like, all right. Smash cut to two agents standing at his funeral while Amazing Grace plays. And they release the warrants and go get him. And he's like, all right. Smash cut to two agents standing at his funeral while Amazing Grace plays. And they release the doves.
Starting point is 01:06:08 His widow and his children are crying and they're looking at each other like, motherfucker, I totally see that. And they're like, bop, bop, bop, bop. He beat him. Bop, bop, bop. Yeah. So April 87, he's supposed to have his hearing
Starting point is 01:06:22 for the last thing here. And some interesting things start happening around Torrance, Long Beach, and Gardena areas of California. Domino's pizza delivery men start to get robbed all over the place. Left and right. Was it by a 6-foot-9, 270-pound dude? It's weird because in each case, a man calls the Domino's Pizza at all different locations and orders the same thing, a small pizza and a six-pack of soda.
Starting point is 01:06:47 That's his order. Same order every single time when the driver would arrive at the address. No one would be at the home of the address or it would be a vacant house and they would instead be accosted and intercepted by a, quote, very tall robber
Starting point is 01:07:00 with either a knife or a screwdriver depending on the day. I don't know. He had to hawk his knife for crack sometimes and he'd get a knife or a screwdriver depending on the day i don't know he had to he had to hawk his knife for crack sometimes and he'd get a hold of the screwdriver break into a fucking mechanics locker or something yeah so you figure that might happen once or twice right you know how about 13 times over the next two months wow 13 times this is happening he figured something out he's like this is what he does for a living like the smartest thing he's done he's like fuck it this is my job he's like that's nine o's like, this is what he does for a living. This is the smartest thing he's done. He's like,
Starting point is 01:07:25 fuck it, this is my job. He's like, it's nine o'clock, shit, let me call Doug. Yeah, I need a small pizza
Starting point is 01:07:29 and a six pack of soda. All right, honey, I'll be back later. And he kisses her and gets his lunchbox and goes. This is before email
Starting point is 01:07:36 and like corporate communications, obviously. Yeah. Because if you're a Domino's delivery driver, you should know, by the way, small pizza, six-pack.
Starting point is 01:07:46 Don't deliver that. Don't deliver that or call the cops and have them escort you to that one. Or bring like three guys with you if you're going to do it. So this happens that many times. The messed up thing is he would take their money pouch that they kept and the soda, but not the pizza. Oh, Jesus. He'd take the soda. He'd say, give me your money and I want that six-pack of soda.
Starting point is 01:08:04 Give me that six-pack of Pepsi. I don don't want the pizza is he lactose intolerant or like what i he's got a gluten allergy gluten allergies a little uncomfortable i just get upset down there i don't want it it gives me some acid reflux but i'll take that sprite yeah so the that's 13 robberies happen, and now in June 1987, a 14th is attempted. A Gardena Domino's delivery driver is robbed. That was the 13th robbery. He's robbed. His name's Anthony LeBlanc. And a few nights later,
Starting point is 01:08:35 somebody calls that Domino's and just orders a small pizza. Not the six-pack, just a small pizza to be delivered. LeBlanc, the delivery driver, recognizes the voice on the phone because he's not an idiot. You recognize the voice of the guy that robbed you,
Starting point is 01:08:49 the giant monster who robbed you with a screwdriver. So he recognized him as the same voice of the guy who robbed him three days ago and said... Three days later, he tries it again at the same Domino's. Same guy. Same guy.
Starting point is 01:09:02 And the same driver answers. And the driver answers the phone and takes the order too. And the problem is he can't just, he's not sure. He's a driver. What if it's just some guy
Starting point is 01:09:10 who sounds alike and he orders a small pizza and he's like, fuck you man, I'm gonna call the cops. And he's like, what the fuck? He calls and complains
Starting point is 01:09:16 to his manager. LeBlanc's getting fired at that point. So he's gotta like, feel it out. Unless, unless Alums has the voice of like a recognizable
Starting point is 01:09:24 like Christopher Walken. Something like that, yeah. I would like a pizza. Give me a pizza. I don't do it for Christopher Walken. I tried very hard there. I'm terrible at it. And then the second I said give me, I was like, don't do this.
Starting point is 01:09:36 Yeah, let's cut this off right now. Fucking abort. No, let's abort. Abort. Where's Sam Gilbert? We need an abortion now. I could use Sam Gilbert to abort this Christopher Walken oppression. That would be something he'd be good at.
Starting point is 01:09:48 So LeBlanc takes another employee with him to the address to scope it out. He says, come with me. Let's go scope it out. We won't pull right up. We'll kind of hang out down the street and scope it out like we're Omar on the wire here. And so, you know, they pull up to the address and they see the same man who robbed LeBlanc sitting outside the address in a Datsun 280Z just sitting out there waiting all cracked out. He's got a car. He's got a car, yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:12 It's a fun car, too. It's probably his Jaguar, basically. Like, he still had it from back then. They call the police and, you know, they call the police, say the guy's in this car, whatever. The car is, of course, traced back to a Lums because it's his fucking car that he takes to do a robbery because he's not very bright. And on June 22nd 1987, he's arrested for 14 robberies of Domino's
Starting point is 01:10:32 delivery drivers and held in county jail in lieu of $100,000 bail, so they're not messing around at this point. $100,000 bail they want now. He's charged with all of them and so at this point, okay Jimmy, I'm going to ask you, and listeners, everybody, crime and sports movement guys. Hold on, before we get to this.
Starting point is 01:10:50 Yeah. That LeBlanc character. He's smart. Who can't keep his life together, or maybe he's a young kid. He's just starting. He's probably a college kid. He's a pizza delivery driver. I hope that kid is a fucking detective today. Oh yeah, he's smart. Because he is a genius. He's either managing the dominoes or something. He better have some sort of accommodation for that. They should have gave him a promotion for that. Get him off the streets, this guy. So, what do you do
Starting point is 01:11:16 at this point, Jimmy? And anybody out there listening, you've been arrested. You're in jail. You're facing serious charges. 14, basically charges of, you know, strong-arming money for delivery. This is a serious charge. We're looking at prison time. You're in a lot of trouble.
Starting point is 01:11:30 You're in a lot of trouble. What's the first thing you do? Cocaine. Well, no, no, no. You're in jail. There's no cocaine. What's the first thing you need to get together? Call my mom and apologize.
Starting point is 01:11:40 And have her do what for you? Help me out. Get me a lawyer. Get me a lawyer. Thank you. Everyone out there, whatever country you you're in i don't know how your system works but if you're in some i don't know if el salvador is like some sort of you know third world nation where they just pull you in front of the presidente and he decides what to do with you i'm not sure but here you need an attorney alums he should this too, but he's such a bright guy.
Starting point is 01:12:06 You know who he gets as his attorney? Oh my God. Himself. Get out of here. He fucking represents himself. Get out of here. Like he's Ted Bundy. This doesn't ever end well.
Starting point is 01:12:16 Ladies and gentlemen, yeah, yeah, that's where I was going, is that never in the history of criminal law has anybody represented themselves and been like, that was a good move. You are never going to explain your way out of it, ever. You don't know fuck about law. That's the other thing.
Starting point is 01:12:32 He's not even a college graduate. He knows nothing. Jimmy, look at us, okay? I study a lot of crime stuff. I know how many episodes of Law and Order have we seen? I read true crime books and actual books of case law and shit. I'm really into this stuff. I have to be for this so I can interpret things.
Starting point is 01:12:48 I would have no clue. I would know more about this than the average person. I would have no idea where to start in representing myself in hardcore robbery charges that have prison time attached to them. I wouldn't argue my way out of a parking ticket. I'd want somebody there to help me with it because I don't know how to do that. This guy, I got it. I'm good now. No problem. I'm finding
Starting point is 01:13:11 the best lawyer that I can afford. You know what? I'm in jail. I can't smoke crack. Got a lot of time on my hands. I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna start reading books. He conducts months of pre-trial discoveries. He's a complete pain in the ass about it, too. Issues dozens and dozens of subpoenas for police reports and robbery investigations for all this shit.
Starting point is 01:13:30 He actually is a real pest and a pain in the ass. If he had focused this kind of attention to basketball, maybe he'd have fucking stuck around. You know, when he was at UCLA, he maybe could have done something with that. Well, they have one of the best medical centers in the country. Well, he contends that after researching all of these reports, he contends that it couldn't have been him
Starting point is 01:13:47 that did the robberies because there's still robberies going on and he's in jail. They didn't accuse you of being a Batman villain that was causing all the crime in the city. Just those ones where there's... There are no more pizza huts and dominoes being robbed, sir. No more giant people with screwdrivers
Starting point is 01:14:03 are robbing drivers. Costing a guy with a small pizza and a six- being robbed, sir. No more giant people with screwdrivers are robbing drivers. Costing a guy with a small pizza and a six-pack of Sprite. Unreal. They weren't charging you with all the crime, just 14 of them. That's it. He's challenging the identifications of the drivers. He's saying that they don't know what the hell they're talking about. Meanwhile, you're pretty sure you're going to see this guy.
Starting point is 01:14:21 It's pretty striking. He's in jail. He gives an interview from jail saying that his basketball career seems far behind him and you know just the basic sob shit imagine he says that you know this is while he's awaiting his trial because he's in he's he awaits in jail for about 21 months he's in county jail for 21 months awaiting his trial filing it's he's filing all sorts of motions and we were talking about being in county county for 53 days being hell this is almost two years yes in county and it's his doing because he's filing he's he's getting stays and he's filing shit and he's you know what he's doing he's trying to get as much time served
Starting point is 01:14:55 credit as he can i feel like that's the other thing five years yeah get two years time served and he says that the backboard there's no back there's backboards but no rims on the hoops at jail so he can't play anyway and he says that he's just embarrassed and disheartened to even be there but he denies any involvement to no rims they were ripped down the rims people ripped them off and they never put them back up yeah like a shitty park some gangster dunks it and rips the room off yeah like that's the game that's it all right so we're playing half court and there's no like cop there going, I'll go get another one. I'll be at Sports Authority.
Starting point is 01:15:26 I'll be right back. So March 2, 1989, the trial begins. It's expected to last in the neighborhood of two weeks. He's on trial for 14 robberies. Opening statements are made by both the deputy district attorney, Julie Sulman, and, of course, dipshit Darrell Alums, acting as his own attorney, making opening statements. I wish I could have seen this trial.
Starting point is 01:15:48 Suleman told the jury, she's the district attorney, that, quote, a very tall black man confronted Domino's Deliveries employees as they tried to deliver to homes in Gardenia, Long Beach, and Torrance, and other communities, and were robbed. What year was this? The robberies were in 87.
Starting point is 01:16:02 The trial was in 89. This is March 2, 89. This is more riveting than the court TV should have covered this year. Yeah, this is great.beries were in 87. The trial was in 89. This is March 2, 89. This is more riveting than the court TV should have covered this year. Yeah, this is great. This would have been hilarious. Amazing. Much better. Yeah, much more stuff going on.
Starting point is 01:16:12 Suleman said that he would take the driver's cash pouches, like we said, usually leave the pizza. I think once or twice he took the pizza. Must have been real hungry. Yeah. Or he said, hey, I'm going to go out. You want anything? And they said, pick up some pizza.
Starting point is 01:16:22 And he went, no problem. Yeah, I can handle that. I got that. Don't worry about it. So, alums now is alleging he is the victim of both faulty
Starting point is 01:16:32 identifications by the delivery men and on top of that, moreover, even more, a vindictive police investigator. Oh, God.
Starting point is 01:16:41 Quote, unquote. They've got a vendetta against you. Against you. Ugh. Dipshit. So, in his opening statement, here's an in their own words from his, police investigator quote unquote they've got a vendetta against you against you oh dipshit so he had in his opening statement here's an in their own words from this is our first in their own words from an opening statement because they thought they were a fucking lawyer no one else we've done we've done some dumb people yeah no one else was dumb enough to act as their own attorney
Starting point is 01:17:00 that's a great point. No clue. No clue. No speaking. I've played in the Philippines so long, I speak Filipino. Absolutely. I'm a Filipino, or whatever they speak over there. So his opening statement, in their own words, quote, I am not a robber. I am innocent of these crimes. Actually, sir, you're a burglar. Convicted. Actually, yes, more of them.
Starting point is 01:17:38 You're more of a burglar. That was yours. So in the trial, eight delivery drivers in total, ID alums. Alums acts as his own attorney, like we said, like a lunatic. He's convicted on eight counts of the 14. The jury was deadlocked on six of them, so the judge dismissed him, because I guess there was whatever. Eight's enough. It's fine.
Starting point is 01:17:56 They said, eight is enough. It's a show. Don't worry about it. We do everything on TV shows. Fine. We name basketball teams, and we convict people. Eight's enough. We're the express.
Starting point is 01:18:05 Moving on. Fuck it. So, sentencing April 3rd comes out that sentencing for the robberies is delayed
Starting point is 01:18:14 at the request of alums for some reason. I don't know why he wants to do whatever. On April 3rd, 89, there's an article about him waiting for sentencing
Starting point is 01:18:22 and it's about his mother having a news clipping hoping that the judge takes mercy on him. It's a news clipping of him in his UCLA uniform and, you know, blah, blah, blah. And she's so worried. Check and see if all your news clippings are there, because he may have taken a handful of them to go pay an undercover cop for coke. Oh, yeah. You never know.
Starting point is 01:18:41 That's highly possible. He faces 13 years in prison total which is that's no joke right there that's steep so at this point i mean look at this shit it's a mess he he's he's he's in jail his mother's got a thing here his wife whose life he ruined he's sitting in his cell once again i mean what the only where is he going to go from here jimmy where is he going to go down down he's? Where is he going to go? Down. That's it. He's going to get a little hungry.
Starting point is 01:19:10 He's going to get a little hungry. Check if the chow hall has some shawarma. He's going to bust in there and then there's going to be the shawarma man and he's going to say... How is it you've come to arrive here? Why are you here? Why are you here? Why are you come here?
Starting point is 01:19:26 You go to college. You do a decent defense. You come in here. Why are you here? Signs say closed. You come. Why? You want Schwarm?
Starting point is 01:19:33 I make for you. But why? I make for you. I don't know why. Keep cocaine away. I have problem. I don't want the cocaine. I don't know why.
Starting point is 01:19:41 I do not take newspaper glippings. I don't take. I don't know. And then out of nowhere there's a knock on the door and they open it and it's the Mexican pimp and he's standing there
Starting point is 01:19:51 guns blazing and he says how is it you've come to arrive here huh how is it how is it you've come to arrive here? Huh? How is it? How is it you've come to arrive here?
Starting point is 01:20:07 What are we doing? Schwarmman comes over and he says, hey, why are you here? Signs say close. You knock on my door? No, I tell him. No, I tell him why. Put the gun away.
Starting point is 01:20:17 Put the gun. I'm not scared of you, okay? You don't know where I come from. You don't know my life. Schwarmman been through a lot, okay? I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of Lee Murray. I'm not afraid of you either. I don't don't care he says so then eventually they make an agreement and the pimp says i i understand i understand i'm on your territory now i go away for a while i have
Starting point is 01:20:35 things to do but maybe we could compromise and they get together and they decide that sometimes it'll be the shawarma man sometimes it it'll be the Mexican pimp, depending on the situation. We'll mix up on this one. They shook hands. The pimp poured a shot for each of them. Shawarma man shaved off some lamb. I make for you. You want lamb?
Starting point is 01:20:55 I make for you. And they ate in peace, and it was beautiful right there. And that's really the key to this story, Jimmy, the beauty between these two men loving each other. The compromise. So anyway, at this point... Jesus Christ, that these two men compromise so anyway at this point that
Starting point is 01:21:06 was fun so anyway at this point in this insanity uh in this article high school his high school coach from lynnwood a silver-haired middle-aged white man as they come bill notely says that he's he never thought this of alums and he still doesn't believe it he's seen his share of troubled teens he called them bandits which i think is insane i like it and uh he said that alums was not one of them he said quote he never missed practice and he loved basketball he would practice for three hours and then would stay afterward he would go play three on three well that means he didn't rob anybody because he loved that okay he plays three on three he played a three on three said he was a b-plus student which is he seems smart actually actually. He's decent with the legal briefs here.
Starting point is 01:21:47 Now, alums at this point sends the judge an 11-page handwritten letter, which I scoured. I spent about four hours trying to find this goddamn. I wanted this letter so bad. Oh, it's so verbose, I guarantee. It's begging for mercy and saying how much of a victim he is. It's amazing. he says you know his drug problem got bad and in pro ball and he started experimenting with drugs in high school
Starting point is 01:22:11 and it's all drugs and he just wants to get off the drugs and please give him rehab blah blah blah june 16th 1989 where it's sentencing alums tries to get the judge to sentence him to rehab still his lawyer he's got a lawyer he's doing this but they all have a counsel that helps him with paperwork, basically. He gets a whole bunch of people to testify. The name of this article... On his behalf? Oh, yeah, for the sentencing. One of the articles I read, the name of it was
Starting point is 01:22:36 ex-UCLA star hears praise, then sentence. That's like the funniest thing. It's amazing. All these people, former UCLA coach... Talk about a rollercoaster of emotion. Yeah amazing all these people former UCLA coach talk about a rollercoaster of emotion yeah all these people
Starting point is 01:22:48 saying great things about you and then the judge has something horrific to say former UCLA coach Jim Herrick which says as silver-haired
Starting point is 01:22:55 a statement as possible said that alums is quote a young man prepared to contribute to society no he's not no
Starting point is 01:23:02 he's going to contribute fear to Domino's pizza drivers. Contribute license plates to fucking, from prison to society. That's what he's going to do. What an idiot. So, they also get an old UCLA assistant coach, Brad Holland. He said that
Starting point is 01:23:17 alums always rose to the occasion in big games. You could always count on him. His mother got on the stand, called him a loving, giving, caring person. But in this also, too, alums has to admit to these robberies. games you could always count on him his mother got on the stand called him a loving giving caring person and but in this also too alums has to admit to these robberies because he's trying to get a lower sentence and that's you got to plead for mercy that's tough so he says he admits to the robberies and he says in their own words to the judge begging for mercy we have a good in their own words begging here quote it was. Quote, it was a situation
Starting point is 01:23:45 where I had no control over it. I never intended to hurt anyone. It was just a means to get money to get drugs. I was out of control. No shit.
Starting point is 01:23:54 Understatement of the fucking year. I was robbing people every week on a weekly basis. So Judge William R. Hollingsworth actually says he feels a lot of sympathy
Starting point is 01:24:04 for him because he knows he feels a lot of sympathy for him because he knows he has a drug problem and he says that's what he thinks is wrong with him. He's got some heart here. He compares him
Starting point is 01:24:12 to Len Bias, the University of Maryland star who died of a heart attack and says, because this was a couple years later. Except for the fact
Starting point is 01:24:18 that Len had promise. Yes, yeah. But he was just saying how he threw it away. He was the best college basketball player He was a number one draft pick. This guy was barely making the, you know, he threw it away. He was the best high school or college basketball player. He was a number one draft pick.
Starting point is 01:24:25 This guy was barely making the team. Best guy in the country. He played four minutes in the final game of his college career. The judge says, quote, I am convinced that but not for drugs, Mr. Alums would never have been here. So he thinks he is. So you would imagine he's going to be a little light on him, a little lenient. He feels for him.
Starting point is 01:24:42 He knows it's just the drugs. You'd think that, but instead nine years. Sentences him to nine years. You, sir, may fuck off. For real. Nine years is a good sentence. That's strong. That's already after 21 months served already, too. You're getting
Starting point is 01:24:58 nine. On top of it. On top of it. And, you remember that little cocaine issue? He had back in 87? That thing, he still has to face trial for that a week later on June 22, 1989. And if he's convicted, he faces another possible two years on top of the nine that he just got. So he's having a bad fucking week, basically. Not a good week.
Starting point is 01:25:18 It's not great. June 22, the trial begins for the spring 1987 possession charge. For $25 worth of crack is what they figured out the amount was. Yeah. Judge William Hollingsworth Jr. is again the judge, the one who just sentenced him. Oh, shit. He dismisses the charge. What?
Starting point is 01:25:36 Yeah, he dismisses it. This is a total change of heart here in a week. Dismisses the charge. Alum's lawyer, Patrick McGinnginnis said that charges were dismissed because quote it was a it was such a minor offense i was just gonna say 25 bucks and and it's been two years right so judge got nine years already the judge is probably like listen yeah just fucking learn your lesson and judge hollingsworth also indicated that he may reduce the nine-year sentence that he just gave him last week uh alums had been in jail since june 22nd 87 this judge is a sweetheart
Starting point is 01:26:06 right mcginnis the lawyer again said alums has been quote a model prisoner while in la la county jail judge hollandsworth ordered a report from jail authorities due to him on october 23rd of 89 and on his conduct in jail right and he usually it says when there's a report like that in the article they talk about when a judge orders that kind of usually it says when there's a report like that in the article they talk about when a judge orders that kind of report it's because he's considering either reducing or completely relinquishing a sentence yeah basically trying to make sure that dot their i's and cross their t's that he hasn't been making fucking wine in his toilet bowl before they let him out so out of all this now this is like a whirlwind the district attorney just convicted him they got
Starting point is 01:26:42 all this and now they're like hey let's get a jail thing. Maybe we'll release him. Never mind that drug charge. So district attorney Julie Sulman here is like, slow down, guys. Can we pump the brakes? He's still a fucking menace. He just robbed 14 people. Are you nuts? So she said of this whole debacle, quote,
Starting point is 01:27:00 the bottom line is he wielded a screwdriver and robbed people. I don't think nine years in prison is too harsh of a sentence he's like can we fucking yeah can i be the voice of reason here i'm sure she said that right in open court just stood up and was like listen guys i get that you and this and this giant guy giant man are falling in love with each other and you're really trying to help him you know but fucking slow down we have 14 people whose lives are kind of fucked up right now. And I would also add that just the act of you acting as your own attorney shows that you don't have intelligence enough to operate on him.
Starting point is 01:27:31 Sorry, you're too stupid. You are too egotistical and stupid just like Ted Bundy. You don't get the gravity of this case. So, yeah, he's a mess. He goes to jail there. He does about seven years. It's really, really hard to find information on exact release date. We think he's released
Starting point is 01:27:45 in about 96. From there, he starts wandering around. He becomes homeless at this point. Of course he did. He goes from, he's in Austin, Texas
Starting point is 01:27:53 at some point, spottily in between being in LA also. And most of his things happen in LA. Right in the train. Yeah. And I would have
Starting point is 01:28:02 completely lost track of him because he has, like if you guys just go to Daryl Alam's Wikipedia, it is so, there's like two little paragraphs. in LA. Right in the train. Yeah. And I would have completely lost track of him because he has, like, if you guys just go to Daryl Alam's Wikipedia, it is so, there's like two little paragraphs. There's nothing there. They're like, he was convicted of some robberies of pizza men. There's no details. There's no anything. There's no drug charge. There's no earlier robbery. There's no, none of this shit exists on here. And this one, I couldn't even find anything on it i found a 2002 case of his that i'm going to talk about i found this reading through an appeal from 2007 in a case called the people versus sean allen fletcher where it's an appeal in a case where drug where there were charges against sean allen
Starting point is 01:28:40 fletcher this guy whoever he is in cal California, for transportation of cocaine. He was sentenced to six years in prison. And he's citing, in his appeal, he's citing Darrell Alum case, an alum's case from 2002, because he's trying to say that the, Fletcher's trying to say the police officer in his case was corrupt and has a history of planting drugs. So he cited a whole bunch of other cases where the person accused where the you know the the perpetrator accused the police officer daryl got arrested for drugs in 2002 so i claim that the officer planted it yeah so i found through this appellate case i found all the details of of of dude of this guy's case and no one you are a son of a bitch it's insanity man so i found this
Starting point is 01:29:25 there's a 2002 case here uh where he's alums is charging this officer in the documents it sends a lot it says alums was homeless yeah at this point and i love the quote but real quick he's like in the hall of fame of homeless people he's got a wikipedia page yeah very few homeless people got a wikipedia that's a really good point that is a really good point that is royalty homeless royalty right there so he said that's something you're status you're going for this is my this is my cargo car on this train no i believe it's mine sir i have a wikipedia hobo royalty right here you're kidding me my bindle's bigger than all of you fuckers so in these documents it said that alums was homeless and, quote, spent time hanging out and panhandling with other homeless persons near the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Federal. Which I just loved.
Starting point is 01:30:12 And spent time hanging out and panhandling. Might as well have said consorting. Yeah. So an undercover detective, Detective Saragueta, approaches, quote quote alums and his companions and inquired about some rock cocaine that's the quote from the court documents
Starting point is 01:30:29 alums told him that they didn't have any cocaine I'm sure he wished he fucking did it's like you have no idea that'd be great how much
Starting point is 01:30:36 I really really I wish I was your guy all I have is a Wikipedia page first of all who the hell approaches bums
Starting point is 01:30:43 for coke yeah drug dealers have homes that's silly I hell approaches bums for coke? Yeah. Drug dealers have homes. That's silly. Yeah. I bet those bums have a bunch of drugs. No, they'd have homes
Starting point is 01:30:50 if they had a bunch of drugs to sell. So, Saragwada leaves the detective. He leaves. Comes back 20 minutes later and says,
Starting point is 01:30:58 hey, can you guys get me any, do you have any cocaine or marijuana? They, again, this is a bunch of homeless people going, dude, get away from me. Normally, people are shooing homeless people away, dude, get away from me. Normally people are
Starting point is 01:31:05 shooing homeless people away. They're shooing them away like, bro, we're trying to have a talk here. We're trying to figure out something. We're trying to sort out this last garbage can hot dog. Yeah, Stinky McGee's
Starting point is 01:31:15 running for Congress. We need to really get his campaign together. So, you know, they tell him again, we don't have any. We wish we did, trust me. So Sarah Guader returns
Starting point is 01:31:24 25 minutes later now to bother them again. Off't have any we wish we did trust me right so sarah guader returns 25 minutes later now to bother them again offers alums 40 to get him some crack he says i'll give you 40 bucks if you get me some crap so hey he's a fucking homeless guy he's like all right fine so alum says that i don't have any access to it i don't there's nobody around here i don't know anybody that has it right off the bat but maybe i could make a phone call for you and maybe i could get it he's just bullshitting the guy to get his money, but he's like, all right, fine. If you're going to bother me and stick money in my hand, fine.
Starting point is 01:31:50 So Sarah Gueda goes. He gets change from a parking lot attendant, comes, gives alums $20, and gives him change to make his call. Alums says, it might be a while. I don't know how long the guy will be, but I'll go get it. Goes to a phone booth,
Starting point is 01:32:03 and while he's on the way to the phone booth, police are watching him because this is all a setup he takes the 20 bill and sticks it in a flower bed along the sidewalk there's out in front of a business he sticks it in that he's gonna go grab it later but he doesn't want it on him so he goes to a phone booth acts like he's making a call or whatever uh he ends up coming back tell sarah gueda the detective that he went and saw the crack guy alums is like i saw i saw the crack guy got that taken care of and i gave him your 20 sarah gueda leaves that's that he thinks oh i just jacked this guy for the 20 and i'm gonna take the 20 and go do whatever i'm gonna go get a real hot dog yeah so or some crack right so soon or maybe go follow up
Starting point is 01:32:39 on that crack call soon after this a marked police car pulls up to alums and says where's the money and he says he didn where's the money? And he says he didn't have the money, he tells him, which he might not have by then. Police take him into custody. Alums is thinking he's getting charged with stealing the guy's $20. Instead, he's charged with possession and sale of cocaine. What? Which is insane.
Starting point is 01:33:02 So when he was asked if he was in possession of any drugs later on in court, when he was acting as his own homeless, crazy attorney. He said, in their own words, quote, at the scene, there were no drugs. Later on, when I came to court, all of a sudden, there were some drugs. They just, drugs popped up. He's saying they planted them.
Starting point is 01:33:19 So under cross-examination, he of course had to admit to all his robbery convictions and that he's a crazy person that stole, was robbing Domino's. He was getting between $20 and $100 from the Domino's guy. So this is really a hand-to-mouth operation. There's no forethought here. So now alums filed a complaint
Starting point is 01:33:35 against Saragueta with the LAPD Internal Affairs Division saying that Saragueta planted evidence and produced the drugs falsely is how they say it. And so there was, in this appeal, there were several other people
Starting point is 01:33:48 claiming the same exact tactic of Saraguita, basically forcing you to do what he asked you to do and then busting you for it whether you have the drugs or not saying you did. Whatever.
Starting point is 01:33:58 Saraguita's an asshole. So yeah, he's in this problem. He's homeless. He's representing himself. These drugs are an issue. His mother's crying with a newspaper clipping in his hand. The ex-wife, thank God, got away from him.
Starting point is 01:34:09 The one girl's got her bank account wiped out. John Wooden's legacy's fucked up. Sam Gilbert's dead. He's dead. Sam Gilbert's fucking dead. There's a stadium full of people with beef farts. Oh, beef farts. Poor LeBlanc over there has got PTSD from getting a screwdriver stuck in his neck.
Starting point is 01:34:26 And I feel bad for all these people, Jimmy. I feel so bad for them. But not as bad as the two things I could find that were even close to Daryl Alums on the Internet. These people. Number one is the only other person on the Internet that I could find with his name and his spelling. Unbelievable. D-A-R-R-E-L-L Alums. A-L-L-U-M-S.
Starting point is 01:34:49 One guy. And he's on Facebook. And I couldn't find any of his information. It was all hidden. And it's just a picture of a middle-aged, squatty guy with a bad mustache. Looks like he's about 5'3". And he doesn't look very happy. And that's Daryl Alums.
Starting point is 01:35:03 Because he's got a shit name. Yeah, and that's why. Because happy that's daryl he's got a shit name yeah and that's that's why because if you search daryl alums yeah you're gonna get if you google me you don't even find me uh yeah he probably had to shut the facebook page down also them and d alums fabrications limited you should have chose a better name for your company an electrical and electronic manufacturing outfit with one to ten employees in worcestershire uk jesus so sorry uk again we apologize for giving you shit sorry about him absolutely so um anyway so some time goes by i don't know what happened in that case there's
Starting point is 01:35:37 no information i found the appellate thing there's no conclusion there's no i don't know if he got out of it i don't know what happened he got out of it enough to where on November 26, 2011 he wasn't in prison anymore. Wow. November 26, 2011, he walks into a BevMo store. If you don't know what a BevMo is overseas, different parts of the country, it's a big store that sells wine and booze
Starting point is 01:35:58 and shit. They buy bulk amounts of booze so that they can sell it cheaper. It's a big booze box, basically, and you go in there and buy cheap wine. It's a booze Costco. You buy eight bottles of wine at a time, like fucking maniacs. Eight bottles of wine and you get the second one for a nickel.
Starting point is 01:36:11 Yeah, like gluttonous Romans. So he goes into the store at 3212 Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles and begins intimidating and threatening employees with his giant size. He's 300 pounds at this point. What does he want? He wants booze.
Starting point is 01:36:24 Yeah. He steals $350 worth of wine and leaves the store. That's a shitload of wine. That's a shitload. He's got big arms and he can tuck things in his waistband
Starting point is 01:36:33 like nobody's business. Yeah. So he is, in the article. He's got a holster for wine in his waistband. And in the article, my wine holster,
Starting point is 01:36:40 in the article, they don't even mention who he is. It's in LA. It's a Santa Monica, it's a Santa Monica publication. What? They don't mention that he went to ucla for four years was on a final game team played for the mavericks and was also signed by the lakers and dismissed right away also was a fucking convicted robber none of that they just say a homeless s Monica man. That's it. That's it. That's what he's resorted to.
Starting point is 01:37:05 That's it. Reduced to. How about, how about fucking search him. Find his Wikipedia page. Well, he doesn't get, yeah, he has a Wikipedia page.
Starting point is 01:37:13 So he, anyone over 6'7 should have a Wikipedia page. Let's keep track of him. So he's, that's November 26th. He doesn't get arrested. He gets away.
Starting point is 01:37:22 Yeah. Smart. He just leaves, right? Never come back. Yeah. You especially don't wait a month and on November, or December 27th come get arrested. He gets away. Smart. He just leaves, right? Never come back. You especially don't wait a month and on December 27th come back again.
Starting point is 01:37:29 2011, start intimidating employees at the BevMo. They call 911 because they're like, that's the guy, that's the guy. He's back a month later. Yeah, he grabs a couple of things and jets out the door. They call the police. The police show up and start searching for him in the area around there
Starting point is 01:37:45 because you know he's the only guy who's six foot nine with a bunch of booze under his arm so they find him on ocean park boulevard arrest him book him on suspicion of robbery probation violation he also had two outstanding warrants at that point don't know what those were for because these shitty reporters didn't tell me of this crappy Santa Monica patch bullshit, it's called. It's a nice neighborhood. It's nice, yeah. They report like shit. They should be a little more vigilant.
Starting point is 01:38:10 They're a little lazy because they've got the beach right there. Absolutely. Somebody got arrested. Somebody got arrested. I've got to go to the beach. He's very tall. I think he's homeless. Moving on.
Starting point is 01:38:17 I've got to go to the beach. I've got to go to the beach. Weed will be legal very soon. So he's being held in lieu of fifty seven thousand five hundred dollars bail which is the same amount that uh that uh uh wilson jr yeah i thought it was funny uh he the the patch article is called this is what it's called it's not uc former ucla nba player it's called quote tall robber nabbed for alleged 350 dollar wine theft maybe ask why he's so tall maybe go hey how was that guy so tall i don't know how did that huge man become homeless do your job it's
Starting point is 01:38:53 la it's la where he played for that huge guy should have played basketball and that's the last we've heard of him he's homeless out there wandering around i looked for all these i found this is i found this too I mean I was I had to dig deep to find that and that wasn't even like I said under basketball
Starting point is 01:39:08 or anything else that was just you know Darryl Wilbert alums and I had to put the age together that that's his middle name
Starting point is 01:39:15 and that's his date of birth okay that's him and there's only two people on earth named Darryl and we know no one else is named Darryl alums except for apparently
Starting point is 01:39:21 his dad because he's a junior that's it he's the only other one so that's Darryl alums and he apparently his dad because he's a junior. That's it. He's the only other one. So that's Darryl Alums and he's a fucking mess as much of a mess as anybody we've ever covered.
Starting point is 01:39:30 It doesn't get any sloppier than that. His life just He's a disaster. It just went away so fast. So fast. I've never seen anything like it before.
Starting point is 01:39:38 And he had it all he had a college career he could have fucking got some sort of degree He could have had something together. And then planned life so that just in case basketball doesn't work out.
Starting point is 01:39:48 I don't know. Because I'm kind of okay at this. He even worked your way out of the mail room. Yeah. That's something. Yeah, you had a job. I think I'll rob some targets. Stick a radio in my waistband.
Starting point is 01:39:57 You got some crack. Jesus. Holy shit. Unbelievable. So that's Daryl Alums. Done deal. Anybody hears anything about Daryl Alums, let us know. Holla.
Starting point is 01:40:07 And I honestly do. I'm an idiot. I do, like, post-research, too. So if I hear, if I find anything else, I'll let you guys know. Because I did some post-research on last week's episode, and I came up with a gem here. Awesome. Let's talk about Lee Murray for a moment. I couldn't leave well enough alone with Murray.
Starting point is 01:40:24 It was one of those things. And I don't blame you because that one was so fun. I felt like there was something missing. Like I didn't see everything. And I know I did. I know I combed it. I mean it was a two hour episode you guys. It was an hour 58. I combed that shit man. But I didn't get one thing.
Starting point is 01:40:40 I didn't get his mailing address. I didn't get his mailing address. So I found it now. In fucking Morocco. So if you would like to write to Lee Murray in Moroccan prison, we have you covered. If you do, words of warning. Yes. If you're from the UK, probably don't give him a real mailing address.
Starting point is 01:40:59 Find a P.O. box or your equivalent. No return address, because he probably will find someone to kill you. Absolutely. And don't mention us, please. No word don't mention us don't you never do you know who we are don't even fucking code it don't say he will correct that yeah yeah yeah but yeah he's smart enough to pull off a 53 million pound height yeah leave me the fuck out of leave me out of it don't say you we know you're not fucking about don't do it it's tempting i know you i've heard about you know our listeners you guys are sick bastards we love you for it believe me but that

It's Lee... Send him biscuits. Biscuits and little gloves. Biscuits, yeah. It's Lee Brahim, B-R-A-H-I-M, as in Mary. Lamrani, L-A-M-R-A-N, as in Nancy. I dash hyphen Murray, M-U-R-R-A-Y, Murray.

There's no zip code or anything?
Starting point is 01:42:26 I think the zip code is the 46908. They just have it like that's how they do their addresses. They're backwards. That's a really easy prison address. That's not bad. Yeah, all the other ones. Saleh McNeil. There's like an X in numbers.
Starting point is 01:42:35 There's a 45-digit number you have to follow. It's crazy. That's it, man. That's Lee Murray. That's Daryl Alums. Let's visit this week in crime with Jose Fernandez. Yes. One other thing, too, I want to announce real quick, too.
Starting point is 01:42:50 We know we've talked about we're having another podcast that we're adding. That is still in the works. We haven't forgot about it. And we haven't, like, we're not even putting it off. We have some possible big things happening. We have some things cooking right now. Which is fucking exciting. It's really exciting.
Starting point is 01:43:05 We can't wait to tell you guys. but it's not 100% nailed down. It's a pain in the ass, but it's super exciting. It's very, very cool, and you guys will be happy for us, hopefully. And so we're going to announce that kind of with that whole thing, and the second podcast is wrapped up in that. So it's coming. Here it is. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 01:43:22 Let's talk about Jose Fernandez today. Real quick. We'll do two minutes on Fernandez. We've got to get out of here. They deitized him. What's the word? Oh, God. They made him. Oh, my God. They had such a dedication to him. Fine man. They all liked him.
Starting point is 01:43:36 Good teammate. Great player. A man that worked so hard in... No problem. Was it Cuba? It was in Cuba, right? Yeah. He came over. He's a hero. He worked so hard in Cuba. Yeah. Worked so hard in Cuba. Got to America, followed a dream, became a starting pitcher, and an ace. A great one. Unbelievable ace for the Marlins.
Starting point is 01:43:53 He was fantastic. And then disintegrated himself and his two friends. And then signed autographed balls or washing up on the beach because he was obviously out there with his buddies doing whatever he had to do. Now. Now we find out why. And they all said, oh, he's oh he's a great guy and all this and he probably is a great guy we're not saying he's a he's a 23 year old kid great person to look up to and apparently he also liked to do some coke and drink before he went boating which i hate to laugh i hate it's
Starting point is 01:44:20 terrible but jesus fucking christ man him that i'm laughing at no it's terrible, but Jesus fucking Christ, man. It's not him that I'm laughing at. No, it's the whole culture of everything. And the majors, the majors. The Major League Baseball had this huge, had they known then what they know now? That's the thing, and they deitize him, and it's fine. And you know what? It's even fine that he was on cocaine and alcohol. I'm not even upset with that.
Starting point is 01:44:39 I'm just upset with he's either a perfect angel, and this is to MLB and to the press I mean. He's either a perfect angel or he's a drug addict piece of shit that deserved to die in a boat. There's no, you know what, the guy had some problems and he was pissed off and he blew off some steam. He went out there and he fucked up and it's kind of sad. That's never it. He's perfect. It's so sad.
Starting point is 01:44:59 Look at his pregnant girlfriend. They're all angels. Everyone's an angel or else he's the devil. Holy shit, he's on cocaine. He deserved to explode in a boat. It's nuts. How about any sport commissioner comes out and says, when somebody dies, give a statement, we are terribly sorry to learn of this person's passing, we need to wait for all the facts to come out. Yeah, and we'll talk about it.
Starting point is 01:45:20 And then we'll talk about it. Absolutely. And then when the facts come out that he was clean in the autopsy. It doesn't embarrass us. Right. Then it's fine. Then go we'll talk about it. Absolutely. And then when the facts come out that he was clean and the autopsy was done. It doesn't embarrass us. Right. Then it's fine. Then go ahead and proceed with your whole dedication.
Starting point is 01:45:29 Let's be realistic. I know. He's in Miami. He was on cocaine. Of course. Obviously. Of course. He's boating.
Starting point is 01:45:34 He's drinking. Who goes on a boat and doesn't drink? The season's over. He doesn't give a fuck. God damn it. So anyway, that's Jose Fernandez.
