Starting point is 00:00:36 What is this world coming to? We can't even trust monks any longer. I mean, last week we had the two or three monks or four monks that got busted because they were smoking crack, you know, for their pain. But now we have a Shaolin Temple monk under criminal investigation. His name is Abbott She. Amorphophalis. No, that's not how he pronounces it. Y-O-N-G-X-I-N.
Starting point is 00:01:07 He is accused of embezzling project funds and temple assets, engaging in long-term relationships with multiple women, and fathering at least one illegitimate child. and they are saying in this expose out of Hong Kong that he may have fathered over a hundred and a 70 children with numerous women. And he allegedly misappropriated, when I say misappropriated funds, $41.3 billion. We can't even tell you.
Starting point is 00:01:52 trust a Shaolin monk any longer. My gosh, what is happening? So, he is not a Buddhist monk any longer. The allegations against him have made China's Buddhist association, and I love them, revoke his ordination certificate, citing severe damage to the religious community, you think? Image and Shaolin Global. standing. Yeah, he's definitely damaged the image of the Shal Lynn global standing. What is this world
Starting point is 00:02:32 coming to? We cannot even trust a Shal Lin monk. Wow. I mean, I get it. Nothing like some serious business needed, even for the monks, but that's not what you're supposed to be doing.
Starting point is 00:02:52 He's just taking money and and spending it on women. One of the oldest reasons ever to embezzle money. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. I read a story last night, and maybe it was sent to me.
Starting point is 00:03:12 I don't remember where I saw it. And if you sent it to me at Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com, thank you. But this story is from last year, 2024. And it's dated, all of them are dated right around the middle of the year last year. And I don't remember talking about this. Maybe we did, but I have no memory of it. So maybe I need to stop drinking. Anyway, this disabled woman in France is upset that her employer failed to give her any work for 20 years, despite still paying her full salary.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Okay. So this lady named Lorenz van Wozenho, that does not sound like a female name. But Lawrence Van Wassenhove has filed a lawsuit against her former employee, Orange, which is a large telecommunications company. This almost now sounds like it's not real. But I think it checks out. I check to see what the outcome was, and they say there has not been an outcome to this. The case is still ongoing. But now that I'm reading it out loud to you, I feel like it's not real.
Starting point is 00:04:23 But we'll go with it anyway. Let's say that it's real for now. I want to believe, okay? So she's accusing Orange of intentionally barring her from working after she attempted to transfer to a different part of the company due to her disability. So she initially joined Orange in 1993 as a secretary and human resources representative, as it accommodated her partial paralysis and epilepsy. In 2002, she attempted to transfer within the company and it was approved. Now that's when she alleges her employer stopped assigning her tasks due to her inadequate performance in the new position. But they continued to pay her salary. Yeah, they just didn't want to deal with it. Just keep giving her a salary. We just
Starting point is 00:05:09 don't want to hear about it. She claims that the whole ordeal led to moral harassment, isolation, and a loss of professional purpose. And of course, her legal team agrees. You think? And they argued that Orange could have done more to accommodate Van Wausenheim. Now, they claim, this is her attorney, is one of my favorite lines in the story, they claim that she could have developed depression from the situation.
Starting point is 00:05:43 She didn't, but she could have. Now, of course, Orange disputes the claims and say, saying that they did what they could to accommodate her conditions, but faced with difficulty because of her frequent need to take time off. And so, you know, they continued to pay her. I mean, they just didn't want the pain. They just continued to pay her. It's a handicapped person who has trouble, just get her into a position,
Starting point is 00:06:08 keep her on salary, and then everything will be fine. Nope, not even. Can't do that. Oh, okay. She, you know, was paid for, 20 years. It's pretty hard for me to believe that someone worked for a company for that long without someone saying, you know, make a phone call. Do this. Do that. Could you refill the paper in the copy machine? Something, right? That seems really weird. And now, you know, as I read this,
Starting point is 00:06:39 it almost sounds like it's not real. But they say the case is still ongoing. And she has significant psychological distress and so we'll see what happens to Lorenz Van Wassenhoff, the French woman with disabilities who has now sued because she was paid for decades
Starting point is 00:07:03 and they didn't expect any work from her. How many jobs out there that you would like to say I just want to show up, take my paycheck and go home? I don't want to have to actually provide anything for a company. And Orange was doing that for her. And now they're paying the price.
Starting point is 00:07:22 It's really sad. When you think of Tesla, you think of Elon Musk, duh. Well, Tesla just awarded Elon $29 billion worth of stock to keep the CEO focused on Tesla. They granted Musk 96 million restricted shares, saying it was the first step, good faith gesture, toward retaining its CEO and keeping his focus on the company amidst his other projects. He previously has written to turn his attention to developing AI elsewhere if he didn't get more control of Tesla. Obviously, everybody knows he's the richest guy in the world. He hadn't been paid in years because of legal disputes over his 56 billion 2018 pay package,
Starting point is 00:08:11 which a Delaware court tossed out, which is incredible to me that that actually happens. as improperly granted twice. Prompting it Tesla is appealing that and noting that the company's value on the stock market has gone up by $735 billion since 2018. So those shares that they gave him will be forfeited if Tesla prevails in getting the earlier compensation package restored. Okay, that's great.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Now, this comes at the same time that they lost the case in Miami. We talked about this case in Miami. me about the pedestrian that was killed and left another person badly injured when the car was in autopilot mode. So the jury has awarded the plaintiffs $43 million in compensatory damages for pain and suffering, plus 200 million in punitive damages, which were intended to detour future harmful behavior by Tesla. Wow. Now, this. They obviously are going to appeal that. Uh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:19 The eight-person jury said that Tesla was partly to blame for the crash in the Florida Keys. Six years ago, when neither the driver or the Tesla sedan nor the autopilot software braked in time for an intersection. The jury assigned Tesla one-third of the blame and assigned two-thirds to the driver, who was reaching for his cell phone at the time of the crash. He was sued separately and settled the case. Uh, but Tesla was not settling this case. So I guess they're going to have to pay one third of that, which is $43 million and then $129 million.
Starting point is 00:09:54 So I guess that works out to $160, $172 million, if that's correct. I'm not sure what Tesla will have to pay if they lose the appeal. Now, the verdict is incredible. I mean, it was just against Elon. You know, I know that. I don't know that they will ever admit that. But you and I both know it was because of Elon Musk. The driver admitted that it was his fault.
Starting point is 00:10:20 I mean, he settled the deal. However, he did say, on the stand, he believed the autopilot failed him. Oh, okay. My concept was it would assist me should I have a failure or should I miss something? Should I make a mistake? That the car would be able to help me. And in that case, I do feel it failed me. Oh.
Starting point is 00:10:43 So then I guess Tesla is that fault because, you felt that way. Well, that's what the jury thought as well. So, wow, it's just incredible. We'll see what happens, you know, in the appeal to this system. But we know that we know because, I mean, his name came up in the trial. He did not appear at the trial or testify in the trial, Elon Musk, I'm talking about. But they believe that Tesla lulled drivers into a false.
Starting point is 00:11:16 sense of security, causing drivers to become distracted. Okay, well, this guy, we know the story. The guy dropped his phone and was bending down to pick up his phone. When then it crashed into this car in the keys. And that is Tesla's fault. Well, that's what the jury said. Well, at least one third at fault. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. What? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won! Feel the fun.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Morning will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating. 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close to you, call 18665330 or visitcomnetontera.ca. Before I get to another lawsuit that is fascinating to me, just a heads up, Sean Diddy Combs, and I know those of you that have been concerned about Sean Diddy Combs and his outcome, the judge said, yeah, you're not going to get out before the sentencing in October. So he has to remain in jail. Wow.
Starting point is 00:12:57 According to the judge, Judge Arun, Subraman. Amorphophalus. Now, that's not how he pronounces it. Subramian, S-U-B-R-A-M-A-N-I-A-N. He believes that Combs fails to satisfy his burden to demonstrate an entitlement to release. So that's 62-page letter to the court advocating for his release. Ah-uh. So Sean Diddy still remaining in jail.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Wow. I mean, they're just not letting this guy out at all. It's not funny. If I'm him, I am bummed. Now, do you think if he were to... be released, he would run? You know, a lot of people say yes to that. He says no.
Starting point is 00:13:47 So, I mean, I guess we just don't take him at his word, right? Okay, that's fine. But anyway, he's not getting out, so we don't have to worry about it. He will remain in jail prior to his sentencing date, October 3rd. So you can rest easy. All you, Sean Diddy Combs, haters. Okay, so I've had this story in the fat pile, and I mean to get to it. This Argentine man,
Starting point is 00:14:10 sued Google and he won. Apparently, Google Street View camera took a picture of him in his backyard while he was naked. Now, he is a policeman there in this small town and he was behind his six and a half foot wall when a Google camera captured him in the buff from behind. In 2017, his house number and street name were also laid bare. They broadcasted on a Argentine TV shared widely on social media. The man claimed the invasion exposed him to ridicule at work and among his neighbors. Yeah. Another court, last year, dismissed the man's claims for damaging ruling.
Starting point is 00:14:55 He only had himself to blame for walking around in inappropriate conditions in the garden of his home. Yeah, it's behind his fences in his home. You get to do that, okay? You get to do what you want in your, the man. I know this is Argentina, so a man's home is in his castle there. Anyway, Google said that, yeah, the perimeter wall was not high enough. Oh, okay. So six and a half feet, that's not tall enough.
Starting point is 00:15:24 All right. Now, the appeals judges said, nah, no, no, no, no. His dignity had been flagrantly violated. And they awarded him an amount in Argentine pesos, which I guess works out to be like $12,500. payable by Google. That's a lunch for Google, man. Okay, man, they lost.
Starting point is 00:15:45 I get it. And good for him. He won his case. But $12,500 for Google? That's not even lunch. That's brunch. Okay, $12,500? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:15:58 They lose $12,500 turning around. Anyway, you know, they obviously say that there's no doubt in this case that there was an arbitrary intrusion. into another's life. Yeah. And so he won and good for him. Now, according to this,
Starting point is 00:16:20 you can block your entire house, car, or body on Google Street View if you request using the report a problem tool. Oh, okay. Now, in 2019, Google agreed to pay 13 minutes. million settlement over the company's collection of people's private information through its Street View project. Uh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Which leads me to believe they paid $13 million in this settlement. And did those people get $12,500? Probably not. Those settlements are all worth, you know, $10. Yeah, we'll settle. $13 million. Send everybody $10. In 2010,
Starting point is 00:17:02 Google acknowledged that it trespassed when it took a photo of a Pittsburgh area house for its Street View service. but only paid a dollar in damages to the couple who sued. Wow. I mean, come on. Okay, so at least, you know, you can fight Google and win. Good luck, get any cash. Oh, you know, and speaking of jail, did he staying in jail until his sentencing?
Starting point is 00:17:26 I saw where Jis Lane, Jalane, I got it. Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker and longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, had they moved her from a festival. federal prison in Florida to a lower security facility in Texas, in Brian, Texas. I don't know what it means. I know that she's been interviewed a couple of times now, and she's seeking some kind of pardon or commutation in exchange for cooperation in the Epstein investigation and the broader sex trafficking issues.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Okay. You know, they've talked to her for a couple of days. if we're going to make it happen, make it happen. But, I mean, quit dancing around this thing. So anyway, she is now in the custody
Starting point is 00:18:16 of the Bureau of Prisons at Federal Prison Camp Brian in Brian, Texas. And that's all that they can say. Okay, so she's in a lower security prison in Brian, Texas.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Just don't cross that line. And that's the end of your, that's the end of your, that's your jail. right there. Don't cross that yellow line. Don't do it. Don't do it. So they won't say why she was transferred, but they will say that, you know, individuals to institutions being moved are based on several factors. So those factors include the level of security and supervision the end may requires any medical or programming needs, separation and security measures to ensure the
Starting point is 00:19:01 individual's protection and other considerations, including proximity to an individual's release residents. The same criteria apply when making decisions for both initial designations and redesignations to transfer to a new facility. Thank you. We got it. Okay. So did she make a deal? Does Trump going to give her the deal? I don't know. I don't know. I think the world wants them to make the deal. Let's hear it. Put her in front of a camera and let's hear it all. Okay. It'd be done with this thing. and let her go back to doing whatever she wants to do, because Epstein is dead, or is he? And so just let her go and be left alone for a while.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Good luck with that, too, Jalane. Be sure to follow me on my socials at Jeffrey JFR on X. Jeff Fisher Radio on Instagram and Facebook, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher on YouTube. I've been trying to do a short a day. That's my mantra. Short a day. So just to subscribe to

Starting point is 00:23:42 The New York Post, I'm sorry, the New York Post Media Group, has announced that they are going to begin the California Post starting early next year. Wow, congratulations. So the new outlet will be set up its headquarters. in Los Angeles, with Nick Papps as the California Post editor-in-chief. The publication will be available, print, mobile, desktop, video, audio, social media, and will be a separate entity from the existing post. Okay, sure.
Starting point is 00:24:19 They say that this next manifestation of our national brand, California is the most popular state in the country. I wonder how long that's going to last. And is the epicenter of entertainment, the AI Revolution, and advanced manufacturing. Yeah, I think Texas might have something to say about that. But not to mention a sports powerhouse. Again, I think Texas may have something to say about that.
Starting point is 00:24:41 So Florida as well. Yet many stories are not being told and many viewpoints are not being represented. So they're going to have California Post. I mean, they do need a Texas Post and the Florida Post. Absolutely. That needs to happen. But I guess, you know, baby steps for the New York Post, baby steps. So I look forward to the,
Starting point is 00:25:02 California Post being available beginning next year, 2026. Congratulations, I guess, are in order to Jimmy Fallon. He just signed an extension to his deal until 2028. Wow, I thought these talk show hosts, these late-night hosts, were getting the axe. Nope, not Fallon. So he's going to be also hosting his new reality show on brand. That debuts next week, and he's appearing on password. So I'm sure that's all worked in to his new deal.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Plus, they cut him back earlier this year, I think, where he just does four nights a week. I can't tell you the last time I watched Jimmy Fallon show actually live. I've seen many clips from it. But he does four days a week now and not five, and there's a repeat on Friday. And I guess Seth, Myers show still hangs on, but they gave his house band the cut, saying, you know, for expenses,
Starting point is 00:26:10 no more house band. Okay. Weird. Anyway, so I guess they're still hanging on. Colbert got the axe, obviously, have a nice day, but he gets his 10th month pity party. I don't know what's happening with Kimmel. I'm not sure. I'm not privy to Kimmel's contractual arrangement, but we'll see what happens to him. But we still have. We still have have Jimmy Fallon to kick around at least until 2028. We'll see, though. I mean, at any time, if the numbers don't hold, they break it down.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Yeah, we'll still pay you, but you're only going to do three nights a week. We'd rather pay you and not pay all the other costs. So we'll see. But congratulations for now to Jimmy Fallon for extending his, I'm sure his multi-million dollar contract. until 2028. You know, in business, they say you can have better,
Starting point is 00:27:07 cheaper, or faster, but you only get to pick two. What if you could have all three at the same time? And that's exactly what Cohere Thompson from Reuters and specialized bikes have, since they upgraded to the next generation of the cloud,
Starting point is 00:27:23 Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

How is it faster, you ask? Well, OCI's block storage gives you more operations per second. Cheaper, OCI costs up to 50% less to compute, 70% less for storage, and 80% less for networking.

Starting point is 00:28:26 Try O-C-I-4-free. Oracle. slash jeff that's oracle.com slash jeff now if you're listening live today is the fifth of august 2025 and according to this on the 8th of august just three days away what a burger is having an anniversary deal so they have 75 years of what a burger and they're going to be selling 75 cent burgers on august 8th i guess that That's cool. I am not a big Waterburger fan, but it's Waterburger. Yeah, I got it. But apparently August 8th is National Waterburger Day.
Starting point is 00:29:18 So go celebrate with Waterburger on Friday with 75 cent burgers. And happy anniversary to Waterburger. You know, speaking of deals, though, which I may have. to go to very, very soon. Red Robin said they've introduced the big yum burger deal. I'm a fan. The value-packed offer available for just $9.99 at participating locations. The one closest to me better be participating.
Starting point is 00:29:48 This dine-in only promotion is available all day, every day, and includes a full meal featuring some of the chain's most popular items. So for $9.99, you get Red Robbins double tavern burger. made with two smashed and seared burger patties, topped with the secret tavern sauce. Ooh, no thank you. Make that plain. American cheese, lettuce and tomato,
Starting point is 00:30:11 all served on a toasted sesame seed bun. Yeah, I like the sign of that without the secret tavern sauce. But I'm not a big fan of the bougie sauces. And with your burger, you're going to get bottomless sides, choosing from steak fries, sidehouse salad,
Starting point is 00:30:27 everything Caesar salad, steamed broccoli, or Yukon chips. Oh, I get to choose. One of those? I wonder which one I will choose. The meal also comes with a bottomless beverage, including options like soda, lemonade, or iced tea. What about their shakes? Hold on. For an additional charge, diners can upgrade their order with premium selections,
Starting point is 00:30:53 such as specialty bottomless lemonade, chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry milkshakes. That's what I'm talking about. but they're not going to take me over the $9.99 charge. Bottomless root beer floats, premium sides like garlic, Parmesan fries or sweet potato fries, burger add-ons for extra customization. Okay, so you can get the deal for $9.99,
Starting point is 00:31:16 but that's without the shakes. And that's a tough one. I mean, you might have to just go in there. Fine, I'll take a bottomless beverage. But for that additional charge. You can get that bottomless milkshake, you might be willing to pay the extra couple of bucks. I don't know how much that extra couple of bucks will be, so it'll be more than $9.99. But I think I like that a lot better than the National Waterburger Day coming up.
Starting point is 00:31:47 But, you know, that's just me. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel buck. But your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with a 60-year-old Chris Reschke.
Starting point is 00:32:27 R-A-S-C-H-K-E-C-K-E-C-Riss died trying to break the land-speed record. He reached 280, or I'm sorry, almost 280 miles per hour before crashing, and he lost control of his vehicle while attempting to set the new land-speed record at the annual Speed Week event in Utah. The cause of the accident is currently under investigation. So it's still going on. Speedweek is still happening. And so rest in peace to Chris Rashkey, 60. When they say he's trying to break the land speed record,
Starting point is 00:33:10 now he, the land speed vehicle at approximately the two and a half mile mark is when he lost control. Now, the land speed record, I think, is like over 700 miles an hour. I think that's what the Guinness Book of World Record says. I mean, those guys are doing some distance. So 280 miles an hour, man, he had some climbing and he had some speed to get to. But I guess, you know, if you're out there, you are attempting to break the record whether you're going to come close or not. Very sad.
Starting point is 00:33:43 They say that they tried to revive him. And, you know, of course, they have, you know, all kinds of, you know, medical professionals there on the scene. And they tried to treat him. And then, well, they failed. And he died. I don't know what caused the thing to crash, but it did crash. So rest in peace to Chris Ratchke 60, who passed away attempting to break the land speed record. And at the time, he was going almost 280 miles per hour.
Starting point is 00:34:20 You know, the other day, we talked about Ozzy Osbourne's funeral procession there in England. and I thought that that was it. That's it. I don't know why I thought they were done with it. They had their moment for the crowd on Black Sabbath Bridge, and the family was all there, and then that was it. They were done.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Well, not really. He was buried on his private property in Buckinghamshire, England, at his private pretty sweet house. The family mansion there in Buckinghamshire, England, and it was attended by Marilyn Manson and Elton John and James Hetfeld and Zach Wilde and Rob Zombie, Corey Taylor, and they all, and many more actually, they were all there for the funeral. So they did actually have a funeral for Ozzy. It wasn't just the procession there.
Starting point is 00:35:17 But he is buried on his property at Buckinghamshire, England, and that's a pretty sweet piece of property too. According to this, it was built between, 1898 and 1899 by this politician. And then it was bought and sold a couple of times. And it looks like it's about 140 acres. So it's not a bad place. It's been a national heritage site in England.
Starting point is 00:35:46 And Ozzie and Sharon bought it in 1993. Okay. And since it's had some renovation, uh-huh. And expansion. Uh-huh. And so it's got an alternative driveway, a tennis court, a gymnasium. And the house was definitely chosen by Sharon. And it was built of red brick, has two stories with Dutch-style gabled attics.
Starting point is 00:36:09 The gardens of Welder's house were featured in the 2017 book, The Secret Gardeners of Victoria Summerlee and photographer Hugo Ritson Thomas. In 2022, Welder's House and its history was covered extensively. And Jack Osborne's haunted horrid. homecoming mini-series on Discovery Plus. So it's pretty sweet. And that's where Ozzy is buried. Rest in peace to Ozzy Osbourne.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Then we have this story out of Denmark, which I love. Okay, no one supports zoos more than this show, Chewing the Fat, and myself, Jeff Fisher. And this is a story of a zoo in Denmark that they are asking for donations of small pets as food for its predators. Why not? The Aliborg Zoo said it's trying to mimic the natural food chain of the animals housed there for the sake of both the animals' welfare and the professional integrity and offers assurances that the pets will be gently euthanized by trained staff. Well, if they're trying to mimic the natural food chain, these animals should be fed to these predators alive, don't you think? But no, no, they're not doing that. So they explained in a post that if you have a healthy animal that needs to be given away for various reasons, why don't you donate it to us? Donate Fluffy to the zoo and let the lions and tigers eat fluffy, okay?
Starting point is 00:37:39 So the zoo points to guinea pigs, rabbits, and chickens as possible donations. After being euthanized, the animals will be used as fodder in the zoo. That is awesome. Nothing goes to waste. we ensure natural behavior, nutrition, and well-being of our predators. That is awesome. Now, listen, you can, when you donate, you need to, you know, set a picture of your animal. And we're not, right now, we're also interested in receiving some horses, okay?
Starting point is 00:38:12 They want some horses, too. That is awesome. Now, I will say this. If you donate horses, they can't be sick. In the last 30 days, you've got to provide some medical reports. And they have to have a legal animal passport if you're outside of Denmark. I guess. Maybe you have to have a passport to move the horse off your property to the zoo.
Starting point is 00:38:41 But the Al, I love the zoo. Let's go ahead and feed your animals to our predators. Okay. Donate your animals. So when little fluffy gets too old and not too sick, you know, you don't want sick animals. They don't want to feed sick animals to the predators. But the Aliborg Zoo wants to at least have, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:05 fluffy be able to bark a little. That's good for all involved. And so let's do that. Let's do that. Okay. That is outstanding. It's going to be, look, your animals are euthanized by a zookeeper and a veterinarian. So they kill them humanely.
Starting point is 00:39:28 So don't even worry about it. When Fluffy gets eaten by the tiger or the lion or the other predators, it's already dead. We've already killed it. So they're just mimicking real life for these predators. Now, people are all wound up about it. I'm sure this, look, I don't know that zoos in America are asking for donations, but they have to be, right? They've got to have some kind of track to feed their predators.
Starting point is 00:39:50 I'm telling you, the lions and tigers aren't eating kale all day. Okay, they need meat. That's what they eat. So they've got to do that. So maybe the zoos here in America are just, they have a deal with the meat packers or something. I'm going to have to find out. I'm going to have to reach out to a big zoo here in America and find out how they feed their predators. Because it can't be just, it can't be just kale.
Starting point is 00:40:17 It just can't be. I'll be disappointed if it is just kale. While our friends at Pita would be happy, I would not be. At Desjardin, we speak business.

So they were having the track and field championships in Eugene, Oregon, the United States track and field, whatever they call themselves. Yeah, yeah, the USATF, you got it. And they're having the US track and field championships in Oregon.
Starting point is 00:41:30 and our girl from Texas, Shakari Richardson, who, by the way, is the champion. Hello. So she gets an automatic buy. I don't know why she was, I guess you have to show up and run, prove that you're still running,
Starting point is 00:41:47 but she's the reigning 100 meter world champion. So she gets a buy. I don't know why. I guess she just showed up and said, yeah, I'll run, but, you know, I still get to be in the championship. Hello. I am the champion.
Starting point is 00:42:01 But apparently she was arrested at the airport. She's always in trouble. If it's not smoking pot, it's, gosh darn it. It's assaulting. She was arrested on fourth degree domestic violence. Apparently, she got into a fight with her boyfriend, and she assaulted him at the airport. Not a good move. And so she was booked into the South Correctional Entity in Des Moines, Washington.
Starting point is 00:42:29 and I love that place. And she was only in there for, I don't know, she went in Sunday night and they let her out Monday afternoon. She wasn't in there very long. And of course, her agent didn't immediately reply. And the USATF said that we're aware of the reports. They were not commenting on this matter. So will she be running in the championships?
Starting point is 00:42:56 Sure. Why not? I mean, it was just beating up her boyfriend at the airport. So, and as long as we're talking about being arrested, I guess they arrested the one fan who threw the adult sex toy, like their children's sex toys, but this adult sex toy on the court of the WNBA game last week, the first of two incidents during the week. So they found the one person, and that person, I guess, has been arrested and ejected
Starting point is 00:43:27 faces the minimum year ban. Oh, the hell. You won't be able to go to a WMBA game for a year. So I guess we know the one person who threw the dildo onto the court. I mean, the sex toy onto the court. But I don't know if they got it doesn't say that they caught the second person. I just don't know why. I don't know what the bid is.
Starting point is 00:43:52 I want to understand the bit, darn it. Why are we doing? doing it. I don't, I don't, look, we already talked about this. You know, they should be throwing objects out of the court. The second one wasn't thrown out of the court, although technically, I guess it was, but it was thrown, you know, on the out of bounds line before it reached the actual court. Still, obviously, somebody could step on it and hurt themselves, and we don't want that. And I mean that, seriously, we don't want any of the athletes to step on that and hurt themselves. However, I want to know why it's being done. What's the bit?
Starting point is 00:44:27 Because it's not going to stop. I don't think it's going to stop. I think we're going to have it happen again. And it's going to be a little bit more sneaky. I don't want it to happen again, but it's going to. And so we'll see. We'll see. If I don't know what you arrest them for,
Starting point is 00:44:50 I guess it's just arena security standards. So you break the arena security standards and you're putting the safety and risking hurting the game and game officials. So part of the fan code of conduct. Okay. Okay. So here we go. The WNBA fan code of conduct.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Guests who throw objects will be immediately ejected from the arena. Guests who do not adhere to the code of conduct will be subject to a penalty, including but not limited to, ejection without refund, revocation of their season tickets and or prevention from intending attending future games. Yeah, so that's it. Hugh, you won't be able to go to any more games. And that is just horrific to think about, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:45:38 Also, speaking of the WNBA, I see where the Connecticut Sun, the WNBA team, is reportedly being sold for $325 million and could relocate to Boston. But apparently, the group led by Boston Celtics minority owner reached a deal to purchase the franchise
Starting point is 00:46:02 from the Mohican tribe for $325 million. That's the highest price ever paid for a professional woman's team. Okay. All right. So I guess we'll see if they move, if they get a new practice facility, they're going to be spending money. Pay us what you owe us.
Starting point is 00:46:21 And I guess the prices keep going up for professional teams, especially the WNBA, although I will say they're going to have to start making money sometime, aren't they? Yes is the answer, but I don't think they're going to be held to that. And maybe that's just me. All right, let's get out of here. Let's give you the joke of the day, if that wasn't a joke enough of the day with the WNBA. This joke sent from William, who sent it to Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com.
Starting point is 00:46:57 A man got on a train with both of his front trouser pockets full of golf balls and sat down next to a beautiful, yep, you guessed it, blonde. The puzzled blonde kept staring at him and his bulging pockets. Finally, after several curious glances, he said, it's golf balls. And she kept looking and thinking hard. finally asked, does it hurt as much as tennis elbow? See, because she... Nah, you got it.
