As the intro goes, Pelham Place is casual conversations with interesting people… and some of those people just happen to be friends of mine. So, in a pinch, this week I’m giving you a short edited conversation that was recorded during a weekly call with Chris Koss, better known as K-oss to his fans. K-oss and I have been friends for the better part of 10 years or so, and we have yet to meet in person. Our mutual friend, Thommy Noodlez, introduced us back in 2012 or 13 to work together on various radio and podcast projects… and we’ve remained friends. The three of us… K-oss, Thommy, and Myself have stayed more in touch throughout this pandemic, and K-oss and I now hold weekly Wednesday night zoom calls to catch up. It’s really our own little mastermind group where we share ideas and resources to help motivate each other on projects that we are working on, but there’s always other little side conversations. And, this is one of those side conversations that fits right in with the topics that he’ll be covering on his podcast “From the Mind of K-oss” - we get into the new NFL rules around COVID, we talk TV, specifically me trying to convince him to watch Ted Lasso, and K-oss teaches me the basics of sports betting.

If you or someone you know need help with a gambling problem, the National Council on Problem Gambling offers help and hope. The national helpline can be reached at 800-522-4700 or online at ncpgambling.org.
