A fugitive for 20 years has now been caught. We are safe. We're safe because this man has been caught. So this man has been on the run for 20 years. He was under an assumed identity and he was arrested thanks to a credible tip to the U.S. Marshals. Okay. So Dr. Richard Graydon, who was serving as chief medical officer at a Los Angeles biotech company, IMEX biopharma, was arrested. And he was on America's most wanted fugitive list. Incredible. So this guy was on his yacht, and they arrested him.

Now, he was also arrested on his dock, on his yacht, when they arrested him in Rhode Island in 2003. He stood trial in 2005. Then he disappeared. He said that he gave his daughters his cars. He told them to clear out their belongings from his home. And then he got rid of one car, a Jaguar, and then he disappeared. Okay. He also wrote a letter to his lawyer.

saying, yeah, I'm not going to risk conviction. I'm going to be safe and secure and comfortable, either in the United States or abroad. And then he vanished. So he used the name Richard Graydon for years. His real name was Fisher, Ronald Fisher. Then he used his alias Richard Graydon, spent two decades working in several pharmaceutical companies.

And then they got the tip, and they arrested him on his yacht off the New Jersey coast. Now, he's been arraigned in Rhode Island. The judge set to bail for 20,000. His next court appearance is scheduled for August 17th. He was found guilty of first-degree sexual assault back in 2005, and he now faces a felony bail-jumping charge and a federal charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. Now, I will say this, I find this a little weird.

They got this credible tip, and then they worked it out and arrested him. However, the U.S. Marshal's office said that they wanted to congratulate themselves on outstanding investigative work, exceptional intelligence analysis, and seamless coordination between agencies. Fisher is finally in custody. We hope today's arrest brings a measure of justice and long away. closure to the victim and everyone impacted by these crimes. Well, yeah, I hope that's true as well. However, your outstanding investigative work and exceptional intelligence analysis only worked because someone said, hey, you know that guy Graydon, who's in charge of the

biomedical firm? Yeah, I don't think that's him. I think that's Ronald Fisher. And then you arrested him. You didn't know where he was for 20 years. But hey, congratulations, and we're all just that much safer. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat, Fat 5 Plus.

Yes, Chewing the Fat 5 Plus is back. Good to have you along for the ride. Thank you. You just know, I took a couple months off. I know. Don't look at me like that. I took June off for Pride Month, And then I had my private health reasons for taking off August, or I mean July, okay?

It's August now, and I'm back, okay? So, come on. Let's go for this. And know that I have not won the lotto yet. I know. The Powerball, for those of you listening live, today is the 3rd of August, 2026. And the Powerball lottery is going to be drawn tonight for 700. $48 million.

$325.1 million is the cash payout. Saturday's drawing, I looked at the drawing and it said one winner won a million dollars from Texas. I did not want to find out where that was because I wanted to believe for just that instant that it was me. But it wasn't.

Congratulations to whoever bought the ticket in Allen, Texas for winning that million dollars. from the Powerball on Saturday. No, really, I mean it. And then Mega Millions is only going to be worth $60 million. That drawing is tomorrow, 8-4, 2026, for $60 million. And that's a $25.5 million cash payout. So there's that to look forward to.

I mean, you know, I would take it if they said you won. But, you know, I'd prefer the Powerball tonight, to be honest. Speaking of the lottery, you know, I read a story where a U.S. Postal Service worker was arrested on suspicion of stealing a winning lottery ticket in Florida. Now, the story is fascinating. So the Florida Lottery announced that they had, well, along with the Joint Investigation by the Florida Lottery Division of Security and the U.S. Postal Service. And you've got all those people looking into you. That's the problem. The Florida Lottery Division of Security and the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General, which I would love to still be the Inspector General or on the board of governors,

resulted in arrest of a United States Postal Service employee accused of stealing a winning lottery ticket from the mail and fraudulently claiming the prize. Now, the prize was only $2,500, and I say only. It was $2,500. bucks and I think 2,600 was the total amount of the winning ticket. So really kind of weird. So this person mailed the ticket to a family relative in South Florida in an effort to help the relative with funeral costs according to an arrest affidavit.

So that's why the ticket wasn't signed. Okay. So when the ticket was not delivered, the buyer made a report to the floor. Florida lottery that the ticket had not been delivered by the U.S. Postal Service. Now, U.S. Postal Service letter carrier, La Cacia Lockhart. Yes, LaCacia Lockhart. And if you're looking at her picture along with myself, you know, LaCacia is an African-American woman, accused of redeeming the ticket and at the lottery's

Miami district office. Now, it talks about her, you know, stealing the ticket for $2,600 bucks. and it has to be redeemed, if it's over $600 or $599, something like that, it has to be redeemed at the lottery office. That's what happens to every ticket. Show me the picture again, I want to see Latiche. That's La Cacia.

Lacasia. Yeah, Laccia. You call that black? Lacartretaire is an African-American female. Huh. I just want to make sure we have the same picture. Yes, we do. Because I'm looking at my phone and you're looking at, I'm looking at you.

Okay. Maybe it's me. Maybe it's just me. I think it's just me. I'm sorry. Okay. I apologize, Chris. That's what I thought. That's what I thought.

Okay. But I want to know how she knew there was a lottery ticket worth $2,600 bucks in this envelope. I don't, it never says anywhere in the story or any of the stories that I read, how she knew that the lottery ticket was in the envelope that had $2,600, and it was worth $2,600. bucks. So she's charged with grand theft, of course, and dealing and stolen property, filing a Paltz claim of for payment, two counts of unlawful use of a two-way communications device. Wait, what? Two counts of unlawful use of a two-way communications device and mail theft.

I have no idea what the unlawful use of a two-way communications device is, but maybe that's something to do with the U.S. Postal Service. Now, I'll find that out when I become the postal director. But I just find it, I mean, it was only $2,600.600. And I don't know how she knew that the ticket was in the envelope. Yeah, but I'll be curious to know, is there some insider trade in here going on? There has to be, right? She knew that this envelope, yeah, I agree with you. Because find the mastermind. Because you said, that's her picture, right? Is La Caccia clairvoyant? I'm saying this, she doesn't look like a mastermind. She looks like a lemon.

She's a lemon or slash minion. I know. Find me the mastermind. I don't understand. Maybe they will. Maybe it's still an ongoing investigation. Is that the quote at the bottom of the story? Yes, it's an ongoing investigation.

I think it's over. No, it didn't say that at all. That's what I mean. It didn't say. So, La Cacia has taken the fall. Because she's black. Bless her heart. Yum! Yum!

Oreo China has launched a limited edition cookie featuring a salty filling inspired by KFC's original recipe seasoning. Yum! Did you know that? I meant it. Yum! Yum! The 2026 collaboration replaces the traditional cream with the taste of fried chicken. Would I try it? Sure. If it's... Here, I'm going to try it. Do I want to? I don't think so. It has the colonel's logo on it, KFC Oreo, fried chicken flavor.

I mean, isn't that going to be good dipped in milk? Maybe. I mean, we do have the mashed potatoes and white gravy, so maybe the milk will bring out the flavor. But, man, I'm glad right now that it's only in China. And if the Chinese like it, then that means it'll be coming here shortly. So something to look forward to Oreo KFC fried chicken cookies. Yum, yum. If you want a $3,000 a month payday for life, what would you feel free to do?

Okay, so now we have Netflix in the News. Netflix in the News. They're paying $500 million to keep the walking dead. Five-year AMC Global Media Deal covers the flagship and all six spinoffs, 371 episodes, starting next year in 2027 with AMC Plus also streaming everything, including the original for the first time ever IP. Some IPs refuse to die. AMC Plus is staying alive.

They at least are keeping alive. So Netflix is continuing on with the Walking Dead franchise for another five years. It's also paying $200 million. I guess they've got so much money. They don't know what to do with it. So they're paying $200 million. to carry the broadcast rights for the U.S. and Canada for the 27 FIFA Women's World Cup. No, come on now.

$200 million, they're going to get their money back for the FIFA Women's World Cup? I don't think so, but they certainly do. So congratulations to them. They are also facing a $105 million lawsuit. after an unreleased copy of Nicholas's Cage, Nicholas's Cages, I'm going to say that right, it's Nicholas Cage, World War II thriller Fortitude, allegedly stolen from its Los Angeles office. Yeah, apparently, the director, writer, producer Simon Ephraim, and his company,

Op dash fortitude, accused Netflix of compromising the sale of World War II spy thriller by losing a copy of the movie that was shared for screening. The unencrypted master copy of the movie was in one of several drives that were stolen from Netflix office last month. Oh, okay. Netflix says we don't bear any risk of loss for a film delivered without the proper industry standard safeguards. while we don't know. What did we do with that movie? We dropped the mom.

I don't know. It was mailed to us. It was dropped off to us. Now we don't know what happened to it. Really? So apparently the executives expressed interest in purchasing fortitude after receiving promotional materials. Yeah, I'm sure.

It's a movie that Netflix would put up there. No problem. And Nicholas Cage is going to be some kind of draw for them. But apparently Netflix instructed the fifth. filmmakers to provide the key to what's called a digital cinema package, the vehicle through which films are delivered for screening that limits unauthorized access, so the company could internally test the movie. But apparently he hand-delivered the drive to Netflix office at Sunset Bronson Studios.

And what did they do with it? There it goes. We don't know what happened to it. It just, it's missing. And so what are you going to do? What are you going to do? You didn't do what we asked, and so you're out. No, he's suing them for $105 million.

I would venture to guess that very soon there's going to be someone that says, hell, look what I found. It fell between the desk here and the phone cords, and it's right down there. And look at that. Now we have it. So you don't have to sue us for $105 million. And you know what?

we'll put it up on Netflix just out of the goodness of our heart so that and here's 25 million how about you keep your mouth shut so we will look for that in the news for sure on chewing the fat

Well, let's begin with Vincent Pestori. Vincent Pestori, the soprano star, has passed away at the age of 80. Apparently, he was found at his home in the Bronx, where he's from this past Saturday. uh he was uh he played uh big pussy uh on uh the sopranos he was awesome and uh he played what a big pussy so that's what was his name pretty sure it was i didn't even well i'm pretty sure that's who that was now i have to look it up gosh darn it yeah i was right yes thank you i didn't need to look it up thank you i said doubted myself when you questioned me yeah just don't google it at that word computer

because that's not what comes up it's not what comes up I had to put sopranos after that nickname from the show because I thought it was just going to show up

normally when I typed something like that on my computer in this building and it just comes up but you can't get to it here I use dot dot go so what they do is they just blur the pictures but even blur

you can still yeah mine just says, no, you're not getting there from here. You've got to use a different VPN. That's why you have to use Dr. Go. Oh, there you go. Yeah. So rest in peace to Big Pussy, dead at the age of 80.

And so, you know, that's, we lost him. Very sad. I mean, he was 80 years old. So young, my God. The prime of his life. Also, rest in peace to Irish singer Glenn Hansard. Now, Glenn Hansard has got plenty of all kinds of awards, and I have no idea who he is.

He's an Irish singer. He's dead at the age of 56, sad that he passed away. I think he got into a motorcycle crash in Dublin. And, you know, nobody wants anyone to die that way at all. Well, no one wants anyone to die, but no one wants anyone to die in a motorcycle crash. But he was in this musical drama once. And I think he has a Grammy.

He may even have an Oscar. and they're telling me how I'm supposed to know this guy, and I don't. So if you know Hansard, then you are way ahead of me. But rest in peace to Glenn Hansard dead at the age of 56. If you want a $3,000 a month payday for life, what would you feel free to do?

Thank you for coming along for the ride today. I did want to talk a little bit about the teen that shot up the high school in Georgia. He killed four at the Appalachia High School. And he was sentenced to life in prison. Colt Gray, 16, pleaded guilty, 55 counts, including murder. And the September 4th, 2024 shooting at the school, about 45 miles northeast of Atlanta. Now, it's just really sad. Look, the kid deserves everything he gets.

He was a nightmare, and he wanted to be a mass murderer, and he became one. And then he is now being sentenced and has been sentenced to life in prison. I just can't get over. 16 years old, and he's going to spend life in prison. It's just really, really sad. Really, really sad. Now, the other sad thing out of this story is that his father, was sentenced to 15 years in prison over the mass shooting.

Now, his father, I don't know if you know, it didn't have anything to do with it. But apparently his father didn't see the signs of his son's deteriorating mental health. Okay, well, sorry about that. I hate this idea and this plan that we're at now. where parents are being tried for their children's crimes. I know he's a minor, I got it,

and apparently this dad bought his son a rifle when he was 14, like many fathers do, by the way, but just not seeing the signs of his son's deteriorating mental health was enough to put him in jail for 15 years, years, the jury found him criminally responsible for the mass shooting. Wow. I disagree with that 100%. I didn't think we were supposed to be responsible for our bloodline.

That was the whole point of the United States of America, right? Because back in the King's Day, your bloodline would only, gets you so far and you couldn't break out of that but apparently we're going back to that so okay the kid getting life in prison agreed 100% sad

very sad but I agree with it the parents getting sent to prison for something the kid did I don't like that at all I am not a fan of that at all all right let's get out of here I'm going to leave you with the joke of the

day. Before you do that, before you do that, are you going to address why you took off? I did, but you know, you listen to the only part of the show. I addressed it. I would have June was. And you apologize? June, I took off for Pride Month. Okay. And then August was, you know, I mean, July was personal health reasons. And so you can't question me. You can't question me. You can't question me. What, HIPAA? That's right. There's a, Hippo laws, and you can't question me, and that's just the way it is. Look, if senators and congressmen could just go away and not report to anyone for months at a time, so can I.

Good enough for them is good enough for me. And do I need to apologize? Yes. All right. To your audience? Yes. All right. Look, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for taking this time off away from you. I missed you more than anything, more than I'm sure that you. more than I'm sure that you missed me, but I missed you, and especially you. Yes, you, the way you're looking at me right now. What they're wearing right now, it's not like the best outfit. Like they chose to wear that on purpose.

That's okay. That's okay. Are you sure? Yeah, it's okay. I don't care what they wear. That's fine. Well, except for maybe that. All right, let's get out of here with the joke of the day.

This is from my King of the Dad joke calendar There's 2026, give you a couple of them. You know, this is my apology to you. Two jokes of the day for the first day back, okay? C, E, C, I got to do the joke right. C, E flat, and G walk into a bar. Sorry, said the bartender. We don't serve minors here.

See, if you know music, you know that C and E flat, and you got it. And hey, did you hear about the guy who invented the knock-knock joke? No, I didn't hear about the guy who invented the knock-knock joke. Yeah, he won the Nobel Prize. Oh, you know you're going to use it.
