Are the Aces in Trouble? Plus, Celebrity Cannabis and Hawaii’s War on Gambling

It’s Friday (whoop whoop) and we’ve made it to the end of the week, which means you get to treat yourself to this week’s roundup of the news. Today, co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Vogue Robinson welcome Thelist.Vegas publisher and culture maven Andrew Kiraly onto the show. They talk about the recent allegations against the Aces and the WNBA’s investigation into whether or not the team used under-the-table payments to circumvent the league’s salary caps. But the question also arises… why are the WNBA salary caps so low? Next, with Jim Belushi in town this weekend to hawk his cannabis brand, we discuss the rise of celebrity-owned cannabis companies, and which celebrities we’d want to buy weed from. Third, a senator from Hawaii is proposing a bill to ban gambling ads from Nevada (and Nevada only) — why? And will banning those ads actually address problem gambling? Last but not least, we get into the Black History Month eventsyou should be checking out (one of which features our very own Vogue Robinson!).
