For Christmas Day I want to share my favorite story of the year! Because we all got duped! Do you remember playing the McDonald’s Monopoly game? You’d buy a meal and paper monopoly game pieces either helped you get park place and boardwalk, sometimes they were just instant wins for a free order of fries. Journalist Jeff Maysh joins us to tell us the story of how an ex-cop rigged the entire McDonald’s monopoly game and stole millions! The story includes mobsters, strip club owners, drug traffickers, one tenacious FBI agent and the anonymous tip that brought the whole scheme down.

Next, a new industry is booming, popping up all over the place and prompting cities to take a step in regulating them. Companies are hoping that their product can solve many of the problems of getting around in densely populated areas. Kia Kokalitcheva, tech reporter for Axios, will tell us about the electric scooter craze and how cities are handling this new e-scooter economy.
