#115 FBI Gets Drunk & Lies About Poker

from The Blackout Diaries · host Starburns Audio

An episode on one of our favorite kind of national news stories: cop embellishments. The FBI arrested NBA coaches plus "Italian Mobsters" this week, making some ridiculous claims on how these groups schemed to cheat poker players. We talk about this story along with some of our favorite examples of cop embellishments over the years like the time The Chicago Police accused jack ass home brewers of terrorism, when Boston PD shutdown the entire city over a Cartoon Network advertisement, or the time, out by Sean, where a cop tried to get out of a DUI by calling in fake bar fight. Remember to checkout the live show each Friday in Chicago and CJ Sullivan's other podcast, BOTTOM LINE BOMBS on SGN. And look for the podcast to return to weekly releases now that the crew is done filming our TV pilot.
