Fiery 10 Freeway Tragedy | NBA Gambling Scandal EXPLOES — LeBron & A.D. Dragged Into Insider Bets (10/23)D

10/23/2025
The John Kobylt Show Hour 1 (10/23) - Tim Conway Jr. fills in for John. Reporter Jayson Campadonia detailed that 21-year-old Jashanpreet Singh of Yuba City, California, has been identified and charged in connection with the fiery 10 Freeway crash that killed three people and injured four others. Authorities allege Singh, an Indian national who entered the U.S. via the Mexico border in 2022, was driving under the influence of drugs and failed to brake before the collision. Later, Eric Sklar (“The Duke of Sports”) joined to discuss the NBA gambling scandal, highlighting a developing story that reportedly involves both a current coach and player. Betting lines for the Chargers vs. Vikings game were also mentioned (Chargers –3.5). The scandal reportedly ties to former NBA player Damon Jones, who is alleged to have traded insider information—including details about LeBron James missing a 2023 Lakers game—as part of a broader gambling probe shaking the league.

NBA SHOCKWAVE! Coach & Player ARRESTED in Mafia-Linked Gambling Scandal |Farewell to Iconic Gladstone’s — Malibu’s Oceanfront Legend Crumbles (10/23)

10/23/2025
The John Kobylt Show Hour 2 (10/23) - Tim Conway Jr. fills in for John. ABC News Crime & Terror Analyst Brad Garrett broke down shocking new details in the NBA gambling scandal — the Portland Trail Blazers’ head coach and a Miami Heat player were arrested alongside 30 others in two sweeping federal cases. The FBI says the groups ran multi-million-dollar betting and poker schemes allegedly tied to Mafia families, fixing outcomes and manipulating wagers. Dean Sharp, The House Whisperer, shared tips on “How to NOT Live in a Haunted House,” offering design and energy-flow advice to make homes feel peaceful and balanced. He also promoted the upcoming Kellogg House Ghost Tour in Santa Ana (Oct. 27) and discussed how California’s Coastal Commission is making it nearly impossible for Palisades fire victims to rebuild — only four permits have been approved so far. Sharp added that Malibu’s septic tank regulations are another major hurdle, with removal and replacement costs running sky-high. The hour closed with news that Gladstone’s, the iconic Pacific Palisades oceanfront restaurant, will soon be demolished and replaced by a celebrity chef fine-dining venue, signaling the end of a beloved L.A. landmark.

Arcadia Crime Wave! NBA Gambling Scandal EXPLODES |R+L Carriers Unveils Mega Terminal | 6 Million Eggs Recalled + Toys “R” Us Makes a Comeback! (10/23)

10/23/2025
The John Kobylt Show Hour 3 (10/23) - Tim Conway Jr. fills in for John. Caleb Lindsey, Director of Operations for R+L Carriers SoCal, highlighted the company’s impressive new Bloomington Service Center, one of 13 California hubs. The state-of-the-art terminal features 325 dock doors and a 350% increase in door capacity over the previous location, plus a multi-bay maintenance shop—a major boost to the company’s Southern California freight operations. Crime continues to surge in Arcadia, where a jewelry store heist saw burglars tunnel through a wall to loot valuables, followed by a home invasion where armed intruders tied up victims, stealing both jewelry and a car. In West Hollywood, a Rolex thief picked the wrong target—his victim turned out to be a professional fighter, who tackled and subdued him on the spot. The NBA gambling scandal deepened as U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. condemned the alleged mob-linked insider betting ring involving Rozier and Jones, calling it “one of the most brazen sports corruption schemes since the legalization of online betting.” Officials say the operation manipulated confidential NBA player information to rig wagers and rake in millions. Angel checked in with Thursday’s traffic hotspots, while national headlines included a massive egg recall—over 6 million eggs pulled due to Salmonella risk—and methane gas leak evacuations on the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach. Rounding out the hour, Toys “R” Us announced a nostalgic comeback with 30 new stores opening nationwide just in time for the holidays. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
