It must mean you secretly took the jab then. Hypocrite!

Yep, he cleaned up during the 900# era. All $25 a pop. And he kept all that, nothing associated with Feist.
I called it a few times, he bailed me out one late Saturday night with Michigan at Hawaii in the 90s.

It would be appreciative if you could refer to her going forward as "2-term Kamala"
It's enjoyable watching the Freak party squirm.

Great story JK, you must have so many memorable characters, shows and events, Thanks for the Stardust Line invite to do the show with you and Dave many years ago JK when the 10 other people couldn't make it! Thanks for the sports talk chats Dave, RIP!

I'd love to hear John tell stories about what happened before and after the show and the conversations while commercials ran.
I have a feeling some people aren't what they appear when on air

I was there for some of these shows and during breaks when Gene Harvey (Board Op extraordinaire) ran things the panel would take off their headsets and talk among themselves and the people in the book.
Said this before, but: It was funny to see JK sign off the air ASAP on the 9-10P Saturday show and haul ass out the door, run across LV Blvd. (before they put barriers in the middle island to keep people from doing that) to make it to The Riviera sportsbook in time to host the 10-11P show there.
That was always the best - those 2 sportsbooks could be accessed within seconds of each other and back then it was quite common to see the lines have a 1/2-point to full-point difference. I always think back to my UCSB/Pacific bet I made that day at The Stardust and the ticket I saw on the floor at The Riviera.

Called a scammer’s 800 line free pick, naively from my home phone. He sold my number to another scammer who thanked me for calling his 900 line; told him wasn’t me, I’d never pay for picks, he said that’s ok, he could work for free.
All touts are scammers though he was a gentleman. Gave me more winners than losers but I prefer to bet my own picks.
As a goodbye, he literally”pulled the plug” on the farewell call.
Many here likely have similar stories …

I called Dan Pastorini's 800# from my home phone ONE TIME!
I got calls for the next FIVE FUCKING YEARS from scammers. Got one call at 6:30A. "Kindly" informed that that was illegal since it was not 8A in CA. They said it was 9:30A where they were so it was legal. I then said: So if I am calling from London and it is Noon there and 4A in CA, that is legal? Fucker said "YES." Tried to get his number (Pre-caller ID) or service but "shockingly" never gave it to me.
When I busted scammers I did it from a pay phone that received incoming calls. That was great. Can't do that any more. I missed busting those fuckers. Especially Stu(pid) Feiner

Jim was or still is the dirtiest player in the game

Yep, little did I know they sell their client list to other touts. Similar story... stupidly called Wayne Allen Root for a free MNF analysis, literally next week bombarded with calls from everyone.
The sales pitch was always the same, of course their first question is how much you bet. I take it the more you wager, the higher the package they upsell.

I miss the old school guys like Price, Warren, Root, Feist et al.
It was like the WWF....the promotion was way better than the product.
How many different names did Brandon Lang have?
At least those guys gave you a consensus line and usually -110.
