This episode of the Need to Know Morning Show dives deep into a massive NBA illegal gambling scandal, featuring connections to high-profile players, coaches, and even the mafia. The hosts discuss the FBI's two operations, "Nothing But Net" and "Royal Flush," which uncovered rigged betting on games, insider trading of player information, and elaborate poker scams involving four of New York's five major crime families. Former NBA player Damon Jones and Portland Trailblazers head coach Chauncey Billups are mentioned as being connected to the investigation. The conversation includes clips from FBI Director Kash Patel and commentator Will Cain, who break down the sophisticated criminal scheme and address the controversial suggestion that the investigation is political retribution against the NBA. In other segments, the team covers local news and events, including the Fargo-Moorhead weather forecast—expect mild, breezy, low-60s weather for the weekend before cooler temperatures and rain move in early next week. They also celebrate National Bologna Day and United Nations Day. Sports talk includes the Minnesota Vikings' disappointing loss and North Dakota State Bison's basketball exhibition win. Finally, Beth Janssens and Lisa Gedros from Fargo Paranormal join the show to discuss the second weekend of paranormal investigations at Bonanzaville, sharing spooky stories of being touched and witnessing objects move on their own. They share details on how to join a ghost tour, including available spots on Halloween night, and talk about Fargo Paranormal's work investigating private residences.

This is a pioneer village and museum that is home to 43 historic buildings and over 400,000 artifacts. The historic park has been operated by the Cass County Historical Society since 1967. The buildings have been collected from various places and bring more than just historical stories with them, several of the buildings are reputedly haunted.
