FULL SHOW | Massive NBA Gambling Scandal Uncovered Leading to Dozens Arrested; Disgraced Songwriter Kevin McCall Calls Out Artists Who Cannot Sing; Trina and Towanda Braxton Talks New Season of The Braxtons; and MORE

In this week’s episode of the Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast, the hosts unpack a series of heavy-hitting stories. A sweeping federal anti-gambling operation that arrested more than 30 people — including Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier — in connection with rigged poker games and insider sports-betting schemes tied to organized crime. Next, controversial songwriter/artist Kevin McCall caused a stir by publicly declaring that several high-profile R&B and pop singers “can’t sing,” including Patti LaBelle, Keyshia Cole, Alicia Keys and others, igniting debate about vocal talent and industry standards.  Then, reality television takes center stage as sisters Trina Braxton and Towanda Braxton discuss the new season of The Braxtons — a series that delves into family dynamics, legacy and the late sister Traci’s impact on the show’s return. Lastly, with the federal government shut down, millions of Americans are being warned that holiday travel could be disrupted by TSA and air-traffic-controller staffing shortfalls, potentially affecting flights, security lines and vacations.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/rickey-smiley-morning-show  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
