In this episode, Rich and Kevin react to the shocking FBI investigation into NBA betting and poker games involving Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups. But that’s just the entry point. From scandal in sports to voter suppression in politics, the hosts draw bold parallels between unchecked power and broken systems.

They also unpack the meaning behind the recent “No Kings March”, Republican-led redistricting efforts that threaten fair elections, and the continued failure of Democratic strategy. With 2026 around the corner, this is more than a hot take—it’s a wake-up call to organizers, voters, and anyone still sleeping on the stakes.
