Today's True Weird Stuff - The Fall of Fatty In 1921, Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars—beloved, bankable, and untouchable. But a wild party at San Francisco’s St. Francis Hotel changed everything. When young actress Virginia Rappe fell mysteriously ill and later died, Arbuckle was accused of murdering her, igniting one of the first major celebrity scandals in American history. The tabloids turned the tragedy into a feeding frenzy, but the truth of what really happened that night remains murky over a century later.

Dari Nowkhah Show - Hour 1 - 9-4-25 - A little Ben Arbuckle. No, that's not Lincoln Riley.
Ben Grant and JB are here to get you through Toronto's second bye week of the 2025 season - one that couldn't have come at a better time. At the heart of this episode is the looming quarterback question: Nick Arbuckle is on a six-game tear, completing 74% of his passes for 2,137 yards, 14 touchdowns, and just two interceptions - a pace that would put him in Doug Flutie territory over a full season. But Chad Kelly has teased his return on Instagram for Toronto's next game. If he's healthy, is there a debate to be had about who gives Toronto the best chance to win? The guys dig into what's fueling Arbuckle's hot streak, Kelly's intangibles, and whether Coach Dinwiddie risks upsetting team chemistry with an abrupt switch. They also set the table for the final six games of the year, including a playoff path that runs through Saskatchewan and Calgary. Off the field, the Argos announced a special tribute: on September 13th vs. Edmonton, the team will honour John Candy, with the first 5,000 fans at BMO receiving a commemorative t-shirt. Ben and JB share memories of Candy's legacy as an owner and a Canadian icon. Plus, as always: Pick Six, Put Me Down for 20, and Challenge Flag.
The Toronto Argonauts pulled off a shocker this past weekend when they beat the Hamilton Tiger Cats in the Labour Day Classic, keeping their playoff hopes alive in the east division.

The Argos dropped another close one, losing 28-20 in Edmonton and falling to 0–6 in games decided in the last three minutes. It was a night of near-misses and bad breaks. Nick Arbuckle threw for 382 yards and a touchdown, spreading the ball to seven different receivers with over 20 yards apiece. But the Argos came up short on key moments: Arbuckle hit the uprights on what looked like a touchdown pass to Dave Ungerer III, Janarion Grant was tripped up by a shoestring on what could have been a return TD to end the half, Kevin Mital dropped a ball in the end zone after it appeared he was contacted early, Arbuckle fumbled in the red zone, and a high snap on a punt proved costly. The loss also came with concern: injuries to Wynton McManis, Deonta McMahon, Damonte Coxie, and Jonathan Edouard will need further evaluation. Ben Grant and JB break down all the action and revisit the missed opportunities.
The Royals Senior Advisor to the General Manager Mike Arbuckle is our Pregame Interview! Mike talks about what he has seen from the Chasers, Jac Caglianone, what players he thinks the Royals could call up this season and more.
The Argos dropped another heartbreaker, falling 46-42 to Ottawa in a wild game that saw Toronto jump out to a 22–1 lead after the first quarter. Now 0-5 in games decided in the last three minutes and sitting at 2-7, the Boatmen will need to string wins together quickly to stay in the playoff hunt. Despite a defensive touchdown from Jordan Williams on a long scoop-and-score, the Argos' defence allowed Ottawa to throw five touchdowns in the final three quarters. Special teams added to the frustration, giving up multiple big returns. The bright spot was an outstanding offensive performance. Toronto's offensive line was brilliant, and Coach Ryan Dinwiddie crafted a masterful plan to keep Nick Arbuckle upright - moving the pocket, mixing in creative misdirection, and designing plays we've never seen from this team. Arbuckle delivered, but the Argos still finished one score short. Ben Grant is joined by guest host JC Abbott to break down all the action and bring you radio replays from TSN 1050.

Food Safety New Zealand says a study of campylobacter infection rates is unnecessarily alarmist. The Public Health Communication Centre claims more than 10 percent of the population contracted the infection from eating chicken in the past few years. It suggests it's caused 9000 hospitalisations, and at least 60 deaths since 2008. Food Safety NZ's Vincent Arbuckle says the numbers are way off. "Every time there's a death, the clinician has to determine the primary cause and that goes on record - and the primary cause has been only three cases."

The show announces a new presenting sponsor, Lee gets bleeped, and then we finally start talking about OU football. The guys are back on the practice field following spring break. Is anybody else getting a clear Dillon Gabriel/Jeff Lebby 2022 feeling with Mateer/Arbuckle? Is the Mayfield/Riley 2015 analogy more fitting? Plus fun nostalgic MTV Spring Break thoughts (2:50)! OU released a mic'd up video of Arbuckle and Mateer. There's a couple of interesting takeaways, mainly regarding two apparently key WRs (14:00). Lee doesn't understand the unnecessary expectations that was thrusted on two promising young offensive linemen. Grant doesn't find it to be that big of a deal (21:00). More reactions to the Oklahoma Breakdown Podcast as they recently talked about OU's running back room. Why does that position group not have any difference makers at the moment (32:40)? Mike Gundy's Bedlam spring proposal (42:40). Breaking down John Mateer's play in Washington State's 29-26 win over SDSU in Week 9. This game showed us something about Mateer that hopefully is a very positive sign for the future (46:00). For basketball fans, we talk about OU's first round exit to UConn in the NCAA Tournament (1:13:55).
Gary welcomes back Michael Benson, an author known for his insightful explorations of organized crime and Hollywood history. Benson has collaborated with Frank DiMatteo on several mob-related books, including The Cigar: Carmine Galante and Mafia Hitman, illustrating the intricate ties between criminal enterprises and key figures' personal stories. In Hollywood Moguls: The Lives and Times of Hollywood Film Pioneers Nicholas and Joseph Schenck, Michael documents stories of corruption and mob infiltration and reveals that Craig Reeves, Superman, was murdered and did not commit suicide. As the conversation unfolds, the host and Benson delve into the Skank brothers' encounters with organized crime. They recount how notorious Chicago Outfit extortionists sought to muscle in on the movie theaters by taking over the projectionists' union. The brothers cleverly turned this threat into an opportunity, negotiating a deal that ultimately benefited both sides while ensuring their continued financial success. This anecdote exemplifies the intertwining of crime and commerce during the era, showcasing how the Skank brothers operated in a morally gray space to maintain power. Benson narrates incidents from Hollywood's scandalous past, explicitly focusing on Fatty Arbuckle, one of the Skank brothers' most prominent stars, whose career unraveled due to a notorious scandal in the 1920s. Arbuckle's involvement in a tragic incident highlighted the dark side of celebrity culture and the lengths to which the Skank brothers went to protect their financial interests, including paying for Arbuckle's trials. Through Arbuckle's story, the conversation touches on the reputational risks that could derail even the most profitable careers and the measures Hollywood took to manage public relations crises.

Colder in hell here in Kansas City today, as you can tell by [0:06] the flannel shirt I'm wearing. And I see my guest, Michael Benson, is wearing some more cold weather clothes, too. So anyhow, Michael Benson is our guest today. I've had him on before. He has written several mob books with Frank DiMatteo. I just actually just really read with, in detail, really read through this story of Carmine Galante's cigars. It's really, really a good book. It was kind of interesting to really sit and go through a book, you know, line by line rather than just, you know, going through it real fast is really good. Well-written. And then we got Mafia Hitman by Frank DiMatteo and Michael Benson. That's, that's the story of the guy that really killed Joey Gallo. Not the Irishman. So you got a couple more, I believe. We love Scorsese, but he prefers stories that aren't quite true. And he tells them really well. Yeah. But it's not history. Yeah. And Frank had a kind of a front row seat to a lot of these. You're a co-author. [1:05] He is the authority. Yes. He is. He truly is. He's a good guy too. The first book he wrote about his own father and a lot about that. It's got to be. Well, you know, the deal that he wrote a book called Lion in the Basement. About Joey Gallo and the lion in the basement on President Street. And Gary Goldstein at Kensington Books read it...
The guys jump right into the news that DeMarco Murray was a candidate for the Penn State running backs coach job, but will stay at OU after all. Lock in for another DeMarco Murray/OU running backs discussion (1:30). Lee did not quite realize how lowly ranked OU's 2025 signing class is. This takes us on a journey of OU's previous recruiting classes. The 2017 class was incredible (28:05). Over to the John Mateer/Ben Arbuckle 2024 watch as Washington State won a 54-52 2OT shootout against San Jose State. Mateer and Arbuckle continued to show a lot of promise, while Mateer also provided two massive lowlights. Through 4 games we are still very much pleased about what we've seen from both Mateer and Arbuckle (41:20). Jalen Hurts and the Eagles dominated the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, it was a very poor game (1:14:00).
