Episode 169: White Trash Millionaire

IAP Radio

This week we dig into the financial mess of last week's Biggest Pickle, Malik Beasley. From million-dollar defaulted loans to unpaid dentist bills and garnished wages — Beasley’s off-court troubles may outweigh his on-court contributions.

Then we head to Florida (of course) where former NFL safety Reshad Jones was scammed out of $2.58 million in a jaw-dropping financial fraud and money laundering scheme — complete with strip clubs, shopping sprees in Mexico, and handwritten checks like it’s 1999.

We also revisit the NBA’s Health and Welfare Benefit Plan fraud scandal, where Sebastian Telfair has officially fumbled his probation and is heading to prison to join “Big Baby” and the rest of the jailhouse all-stars.

From there, we shift to some heartbreaking news with the tragic deaths of Premier League footballer Diogo Jota and his brother in a fiery car crash, the passing of former MLB pitcher Bobby Jenks, and a local Boston legend mourned by the city and longtime WAAF fans.

And finally, this week’s Biggest Pickle: Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin, who celebrated the Fourth of July with a weed stash, an un-holstered 9mm pistol, and a 97 MPH joyride. Let’s just say the fireworks came a little early.

where bad decisions are never out of season.
