Chuck E. Cheese Arrest?! Gambling Scandals, and Marcus Morris Sr. | Ep. 51
This week on Gambling Mad with Norman Chad, we take a scenic, zigzagging tour through the week’s headlines—stopping just long enough to wonder how we got here. Marcus Morris adds an arrest to his résumé, Gilbert Arenas returns to the legal spotlight, and even Chuck E. Cheese seems to have traded his animatronic band for a booking photo. Along the way, we stumble into the culinary fever dream of tuna fish and chips—because apparently, fish wasn’t fish enough. We also wade into the worlds of Donald Trump and Big Pharma, two topics that—much like bad parlay bets—are best approached with caution and a stiff drink. As always, expect plenty of detours, digressions, and dubious connections, because in Norman Chad’s world, the shortest distance between two points is a winding, pothole-filled road through the absurd.
