specifically Nashville Tennessee I would say be very careful because now we're finding out that we have a state trooper a Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper who is arresting sober drivers as if they were under the influence. He's done, like, we know of nine that he has done specifically.

And I think the grand total is in the teens of Tennessee state troopers who have arrested people, 16. Sorry, did I say, whatever, 16. All right, there's 16 times a sober driver has been identified as having a DUI. Now, in the story, it says 16 have been arrested by a state trooper. That we know the one state trooper, James Zahn, officer Zahn, is responsible for many of those. Okay, we know that. We have people telling stories about, hey, I'm, I think I'm like the eighth person that's been arrested by this guy.

That's eight too many. Seriously. Now, the one story from this person said that he called her in, wrote that she had bloodshot, watery eyes, and appeared to be impaired. She said, I'm 71 years old. I've been a wreck. I felt like I was doing really well on the field sobriety test. I felt like my friend with me felt the same way. Nope.

And then she got arrested for it. So then come to find out, after she was handcuffed and arrested and off to jail, she goes. And all the trauma around that. Seriously, especially if you're not under the influence, okay? Let a lot. I mean, if you're under the influence, you know, I guess the so tough, you deserved it. your choice. But if you're not, and you're still being put through the entire process of being,

that's a problem. And now her blood work later came back, no alcohol, no drugs, except for her sleep medication she'd taken the night before. So the charge was null, and the prosecutors aren't going to prosecute. Oh, well, then I guess it's all over then, except that her insurance gets dropped. She has to lose how many days of work. And you've been arrested for DUI. You've been arrested for DUI. I mean, the world looks at you different now. It's amazing.

So now I guess they're going to start looking into it. The governor said he's going to have some kind of transparency on these cases. Uh-huh. Maybe we, I don't know. Go to the state troopers, the Tennessee Highway Patrol, and say, dude, especially James is on. dude what are you doing uh if you're that dumb maybe we pull you off the streets right and if you're doing it just to prove that you can do it then we need to pull you off your job but i'm not saying

anyone should lose their job i'm just saying this is why people this is why people back the blue okay this is why uh you back to blue 100 percent it gets so angry because you have this happens I don't I don't understand how I mean how many times people will say I wasn't drunk I wasn't drunk

I wasn't drunk but if multiple people are coming back sober without any drugs in their system any alcohol in their system or legally prescribed drugs in their system

like they were supposed to have nothing illegal no illegal substances and yet they still got arrested for DUI that's a problem that's a big problem you can quote me on that

so just remember those of you going through the great state of Tennessee you may want to make sure you are recording everything if you get pulled over man somebody needs to be recording that because along with the state trooper

because you know you don't know if I'd like to see the video I'd like to see you know if he says she looked drunk to me she looked impaired to me let's, you know, let's take a look. Shall we roll the tape? Let's look at that.

Anyway, just a heads up. If you're rolling through the great state of Tennessee, be careful. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. All right, today's probably just going to be all over the place Friday for chewing the fat because I have so many stories that I, first of all, I got a ton of stories that I haven't gotten to all week. I've been doing stories on Pat Gray on Least. I've been doing stories on the Glenn Ben,

Radio program and I've been doing stories for you here on Chewing the Fat and I you know I want you to have the information but I'm all over the board today because there's no theme or anything happening. So let's, we'll just, we'll just start you and me. Okay. We'll go down. We'll go down the list. So John Roberts, the, uh, one of the anchors on Fox News. All right. Now he's been missing and I, no, nobody really doesn't say anything. You just, I've noticed I have Fox News on here at the studios where the, this place is where this show is recorded. And I noticed I hadn't seen him. And they, in fact, brought in this new guy that we were saying, oh, my gosh, he's on an anchor desk now. And he started, we remember seeing him down at the border during the Biden administration,

saying what a great reporter he was. And now he's sitting at the desk in New York. I remember talking about that. Well, why did that happen? Well, John Roberts is missing. he left after he had uncontrollable shivering on the air. Okay? And you wonder, he said I'd been hurting from the top of my head to the tip of my toes.

So he has been hospitalized and he's been diagnosed with a severe case of malaria. Right? I mean, now you're thinking, okay, so did he go to the, uh, special house around the corner from Fox News and take care of a little bit and catch a little malaria? I don't know. But he's 68 years old. And it was definitely, you know, it's a scary part. He was diagnosed with a parasitic mosquito-borne illness.

That is, I don't really necessarily wish that on anyone. So he started shivering. He started leaning toward Bath and maybe I've got the flu. He said, you know, it's blood work. showed that he has platelets and white blood cells were both low. My rheumatologist told me to go to the ER. Well, who doesn't have a good rheumatologist to tell you to go to the ER? So once hospitalized, they received the official diagnosis and, you know, malaria.

And then, well, how does John Roberts get malaria? Now, he says that he got the disease. while on vacation in Indonesia, spending two weeks there before returning in early August. He doesn't remember being bitten. Uh-huh. Or he didn't start feeling sick until about 10 days after returning home. Yeah, that's the way it works, John.

You know, there's that whole time period. Anyway, so malaria is a mosquito-borne disease, most commonly contracted in tropical or subtropical. countries and they most likely at whorehouses. No, I mean, it doesn't say that here. I'm just reading that between the lines. It does not say that.

Of course, of course you go to Indonesia for a vacation to relax. You're John Roberts on Fox News. Of course you do. But as long as we're here, I mean, there's a reason we come to Indonesia. I think you know what I'm saying.

Anyway, so you get headache, chills, muscle aches, fatigue as well as gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and of course there's probably, yeah. Yeah. So I don't know. Heads up. There's malaria in the country.

And I don't recommend that for anyone. So I hope he's okay. Now I guess he was treated with IV artisanate. It's the first line treatment to severe malaria, duh, which he calls it. big gun for getting rid of parasites. So good. It's all healed up now. Or at least he's better.

He'll take a little bit of time to recover because I'm sure malaria kicks the crap out of you. Yeah. Hopefully, John, you are better because, my gosh, we don't need... Yeah, we don't need that. I don't wish that. Stop. Shut that off.

Don't even pretend. It's not even funny. Good luck, John. Then there's a story out of the UK. And you can't keep a good guinea pig down. Okay? Uh, there's a male guinea pig and they say his name is Randy. I think they named him after they found out what he was doing.

But, okay. Uh, the guinea pig, Randy, uh, broke into a female only enclosure and I impregnated all 100 of the female guinea pigs, uh, nothing but guinea pig a bidness going on. Okay. So apparently he, and he didn't do it all at once. Okay. So he'd go in, take care of a little business every night. Take care of a little business every night.

I already said that. They don't need me saying it back to me. Anyway, so it's this UK animal shelter, and the staff started discovering that he was sneaking over and taking care of a little guinea pig business because they're all pregnant. And that's why guinea pigs expanded their population fast because they can breed all year round.

And so... They are not keeping me out of that pen. I'm going to tell you that right now. They're going to shut down this shelter. And I'm going over there and taking care of a little business, okay? They're not keeping a good guinea pig down. You call me whatever you want to call me. But I'm coming, ladies.

You can write your own jokes after that. It is interesting, though, that the shelter didn't neuter Randy because I thought that's what shelter. shelters did, right? I mean, the animals come in and if after a short, well, maybe this was before, you know, we hope that somebody adopts them. But guinea pigs are there to feed the other animals, right?

The other people, the other animals that they have, aren't they? Aren't they, for us to feed the snakes? And, you know, they toss them to do a, you know, tiger or a lion. Oh, those are, that's a zoo? Okay, never mind. With MX Platinum, 400,000. in annual credits for travel and dining

So yesterday we talked about how Vanity Fair employees were all wound up and they threatened to walk out and my comment to them is go. We were going to try to do this for the company

and you work for the company. Do your job. Well now, and we've talked a little bit about Microsoft their employees have been all upset because the company, this Azure program, is doing business with Israel, and the Microsoft employees cannot have that. All right. So here's my thing.

Get out. Leave. Have a nice day. They've been protesting in front of the building. Microsoft has asked them to leave. Then they came back and protested again. And then they destroyed some property throwing, I guess, red paint.

all over the logo and stuff out in the front of the building. So they had those people arrested. I don't know if anything came of it, but they had them arrested and removed. Well, now Microsoft employees have been locking themselves into offices. Two employees now fired good who joined others. Now, they all should be fired. Anybody that was part of this, have a nice day.

They barricaded themselves. inside the president's office and because they were they know affiliation with a zure for Israel. We ate the Jews and the Azur is apartheid

and we demand that the company and the contracts no, the company's in business to make money and this program is helping to do that. So no. Unbelievable. Now they're starting to protest outside of

executives homes and an encampment at the headquarters. I thought those people were arrested, but maybe they're still there. Microsoft launched an investigation into these allegations earlier this month because they were concerned. They believe that Israel, along with Microsoft Azure, A-Z-U-R-E, were storing recordings of phone calls by Palestinians that it then uses to select bombing targets on Gaza, okay? If that's true, so.

So, they started it. Oh, they did not. The Jews are so bad. Ah, yeah, okay. So Microsoft said, we looked into these allegations and guess what? No, there's no evidence of Azur being used to target civilians or cause harm in Gaza after the earlier report on the IDF's ties with the company. And here's the thing. Again, I want to reiterate, so? That should be the corporate response.

So, get out. If you don't want to do this, get out. Because I remember last year, oh, shoot, there were 50 employees at Google. I'm pretty sure they got fired. They were protesting against the cloud contract between Amazon, Google, and Israel. And they were so upset they got fired.

If you get out, get out. If you're working for one of these tech companies, and I'm sure they're making a pretty good wage, there's going to be people that want your job at these tech companies. Leave. If you believe in the cause so much, if you believe that the Palestinians, I mean, it's just the, they're being wiped out,

by Israel and that's Israel's fault. Then get out. Wrap yourself in a Palestinian flag and head on over to Gaza and stand up for them there instead of locking yourself into the president's office

and saying, and the contract, and the contract. I seriously, it just drives me completely insane. So I know I mentioned this on one of the programs this week, but I don't know if I mentioned it here. We have another cartel leader heading to prison, former

leader of Mexico's Sinaloa cartel. Now I thought that was El Chapo, but this guy apparently started it with El Chapo. Ismail El Mayo Zamada Garcia. So he entered a plea two weeks after prosecutors

said they would not seek the death penalty against him. So we decided you know what we won't kill you. That's what he was saying. No death penalty. You can just rot away at the Supermax. Oh, okay. So he's expecting to be sentenced on January 13th.

I'm not sure where he's at now. They haven't alerted me where he's at now. Is he in the same Supermax as El Chapo? Anyway, the 75-year-old pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy, one count of running a continuing criminal enterprise. Now, what's interesting about how he was arrested is that he was set up by one of El Chapo's sons. I know. Joaquin Guzman-Ropez set him up, got him on the plane,

said they were going to fly to some country. I forget which country, but they ended up landing in Texas. And as soon as they landed in Texas, hello, they were arrested. Hello. So, I mean, he's a co-founder of the Sinaloa cartel. And he and Joaquin El Chapo Guzman shipped at least 1.5 million kilos of cocaine since 1980, largely to the United States, and maintaining control through the use of regular violence, bribery, and murder. Yeah, pretty much what they do. He admitted in court,

he directed people under my control, his control for our purposes, to kill others to further the interest of my organization. Yeah. And I killed, yeah. And he even said, during the Mexican drug wars of the 80s and 90s, many innocent people were killed. It didn't matter. Yeah, it did not matter at all. I recognize the great harm illegal drugs have done to the people

in the United States and Mexico. Do you? Okay, all right, you do. So I guess we're all safe for now. Ismail El Mada Garcia is off the street. So, man, that's great. And we just had the big announcement this week that the Coast Guard offloaded,

76,140440 pounds of illicit narcotics valued at $473 million, making the largest quantity of drugs offloaded in Coast Guard history. The Coastcutter Hamilton's crew offloaded approximately 61,740 pounds of cocaine and 14,400 pounds of marijuana. Now, they seized this contraband as a result of 19 interdictions in international waters, the eastern Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea. At the press conference, Rear Admiral Adam Chami, C-H-A-M-I-E, the Coast Guard Southeast District Commander, he said, to put this into perspective,

the potential 23 million lethal doses of cocaine seized by the U.S. Coast Guard and our partners are enough to fatally overdose the entire population of the state of Florida. Okay. Okay. Thank you, Rear Admiral. Adam, Jemmy, Coast Guard, Southeast District Commander. Thank you. We appreciate all your hard work. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Desperately. This is going to come as a surprise, but I was not one of the million-dollar winners.

It said Texas, somebody had a million-dollar winner, and this is... It wasn't me because I did check my tickets yesterday because I had to get tickets for the new drawing, right? So we have Mega Millions jackpot drawing tonight. For those of you listening live, it is the 29th of August, 2025. Mega Millions is $277 million, $124.6 million on the cash payout. And tomorrow, tomorrow night, the 30th of August, this year, 2025, the Powerball drawing.

950 and it may go past that by tomorrow night. 950 million dollars $428.9 million cash payout. Yeah, we did mention this yesterday

because I remember thinking and I think we talked about it. Man, 428.9 million is awful nice, but man, what a rip-off. You win almost a billion and they're only going to give you 428. And then after that, you're going to pay taxes on that you're walking away with under three probably wow for a three dollar ticket i know so i i know

that that's the point but yeah they're telling you oh it's a jackpot uh you got a nine hundred fifty million dollar jackpot and we'll give you cash payout at four and twenty now you can get the 30 year payout and that works out to the billion dollars that might not that may be you know some of the experts will tell you that's what you need to do take the 30 years because because then it works its way out and you get the most money. You have to believe, and it works out better taxes-wise, because then you're able to build up some equity and some things that will save you taxes in the long run.

But I'm not a tax expert by any means. Just ask my friends over there at the three-letter building. They know. Anyway, don't ask them. They know about me enough. I will say that a lot of experts tell you to do that. The problem is you've got to believe that it's going to be around in 30 years. I always kind of in the back of my head, I'm like, after 10, they're going to go,

yeah, we're out of money. It hasn't happened. It hasn't happened. But, you know, some states have said they weren't going to pay people. I think it was Illinois that postponed paying. And I don't know that those people have gotten all their money yet. But they did say, yeah, we love you and everything. But yeah, we can't give you that.

have money right now. And so, you know, if that happens, what's your, what do you could do? Nothing, because it was a lottery ticket. And I mean, you could sue all you want, but who are you going to sue? The state, the lottery commission, they don't have the money. That's what they tell you. So, I mean, that's a tough call. Now, I would say, okay, you have to believe that you get the cash payout of, you know, you end up, you win the $950 million, and you take the cash at $428.9, and you end up with whatever you get after that, and I'm saying under three, I don't know exactly what that would be.

But whatever you take home, you believe that you could do more with that, yourself, in the next 10 years, than getting the full amount, the $950 billion, every year. And I think it's 30 years, right?

It's not 10 years. So is it the payout of 30 years? I got to see, hold on. Yeah, this is 20 to 30. I think most of them are 30. a 30-year payout plan. So in 30 years, you'd get, you know,

$950 million. You'd have the full amount. And, or you could take that $300 million and be done with it. Personally, be very difficult for me to turn down the $300 million. Although I can see

getting that yearly check, man. and knowing that it's going to be there every year. That's the thing. You've got to believe in your heart of hearts that it's going to be there every year. And maybe it is. Maybe it is. But then maybe it isn't.

And that's kind of where I get to tell you one guy that's not worried about the freaking lotto is Micah Parsons, a defensive guru from Dallas, Texas, who had been pissed Jerry Jones and saying he didn't want to play. He was laying out the training table during the training game. He showed up.

He just wasn't dressed and he wasn't ready to play. And he said he wanted to be traded. And Jerry wasn't ready to trade him. I found it interesting when the word first broke about Green Bay Packers wanting him. The report was Jerry wasn't ready to look at that yet. That was an interesting way to word that. Jerry wasn't ready to look at that yet. But he became ready to look at it because Micah was traded to the Green Bay Packers

yesterday. Incredible for two-round draft picks, two first-round draft picks and a defensive player what's his name, Kenny Clark. Who's a pro-bowler, but he's a little older guy and he's been around, he's been in the NFL. And he's going to sign this four-year deal,

$188 million, $136 million guaranteed. I think it's actually like $120, fully guaranteed, and then the rest of the millions are negotiable guaranteed. surprisingly, just so you know, Micah hasn't let me take a look at the contract. I know, I know, I know.

Micah, you can reach out to me. I'm happy to go over it with you. But that makes him about, this makes it at $188 million for four years. That's $47 million a year. And that's the highest paid player other than a quarterback in the NFL. So congratulations to Micah Parsons.

Congratulations to the Green Bay Packers. The fans believe this puts them over the top and we'll put them in the running for the Super Bowl. The Dallas Cowboys are, you know, people, the fans are upset saying, why did you do that, Jerry? Why did you just ruling the team? And Jerry says, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That doesn't says, I can't take one of these first round draft picks

and make a trade today, get another top player today. Don't discount that. So, okay, so Jerry's got a plan for the Dallas Cowboys. And so you want to talk about Jerry creating headlines? that's what he does, baby. Create headlines, and he definitely created a headline here. All right, so I would have been to college football this weekend.

Oh, my gosh. I could talk to you about football, you know, for the rest of the show. I won't, I promise. But Missouri, the Missouri Tigers played last night. They kicked the crap out of Central Arkansas, which I believe they should have. Actually, I was pissed because I didn't watch the last half. I went to bed.

They were up, I don't know, it was 20-something-and-nothing-nothing. half time. I don't remember the score. I went to bed. But I woke up and they won 61 to 6. And I looked at the box score and Central Arkansas scored in the fourth quarter, scored a touchdown. I guess they went for two probably because they did get the extra point. They obviously didn't score the two. What the hell? What do we do and let them score a touchdown with hardly any time left on the clock in the game? Are you kidding me? That's unacceptable. Seriously. Seriously. If I'm a coach, I'm pissed. Because that's unacceptable. I don't care who you have in the game.

I don't care what kind of fifth round, fifth grade pick you've got out there playing defense for you. I don't care. Yeah, you can't have walk-ons anymore. I hear it my ear, walk-ons. They don't allow that anymore. Yeah, there's no more walk-ons. I know. I know. The game is ruined. Damn NIL, portal. Yeah, Rudy's done. There's no more Rudy's. Have a nice day. Yeah, NIL put that anyway. See, I told you I could talk about it forever. Anyway, and something needs to be done, damn it. Somebody needs to take the bull by the horns for this college football, and it needs to get it in line real quick.

I digress. I digress. I've got a few ideas, but they have not contacted me either. Weird, I know. So anyway, they kicked their butt, but 61 to 6. And then Nebraska won, which I love because Nebraska beat Cincinnati in Kansas City. I'm pretty sure Travis Kelsey was there. I didn't watch it.

But Travis was supposed to be there because that's his team. Cincinnati, he played for Cincinnati. And he was, I don't know if Taylor, I mean, did he bring Taylor? Holy cow. No, that would have been, I would have seen that this morning. If that happened, that would have seen that. But both Kelsey brothers probably were there,

rooting on Cincinnati at Kansas City. Eh, eh, sorry about it. Can't do it. No good. I like that a lot That made me happy The score was What the 20 to 17

But they were in the lead The whole game They were I believe If I looked at that box score right They never trailed So they beat Cincinnati And then we got Saturday I mean hello

Saturday football And then Monday night We got the return of Bill Belichick To college football Or in coaching in general The UNC Tar Heels Taking on the TCU Corn Frogs on Monday night football

And the only reason they're doing that because that's Bill Belichick, baby. That's Bill Belichick football, baby. He's going to be out Monday night football. Welcome. UNC is like, we're back, baby. This is Tar Heel football now. He better, oh my gosh.

If he, if he, here's the thing. If UNC does not win and does not look good, holy cow. man it will be Billichick spending too much time with his younger with the young girlfriend not paying attention what are we doing he doesn't know what he was doing

no wonder New England got rid of him that Apple TV Plus special was right it wasn't him it was Brady it didn't have anything to do with Bill Belichick he's nothing that's going to be loud if he doesn't win

I'll tell you that well now maybe if he if he loses and it's a like loses on a last second field goal or uh you know uh they go into overtime and they they lose okay he's still okay because they've got a showing but if he loses where tc uw walks out of there going you and see who that's going to be it's going to get loud i mean not as loud as it is it gets when you get the new frontier magazine when you get the new frontier magazine it gets loud it does uh it gets really loud i i commercial here makes, I should read it word for word for you.

She wrote, actor dies at the age of 93, Floyd Levin. Now, you, I don't know if it was Floyd Levin or Floyd Levine. I don't know how he pronounced it, I apologize.

But he's one of those, oh yeah, that guy. He played various roles. And when you see him, he'll go, oh, yeah, that guy. He's dead at the age of 93. His family said he was a loving father, and they loved him, and he was the best ever. It doesn't say what the cause of death was, but there is a picture of him in the hospital with his, you know, being surrounded by family and, well, he doesn't look that great.

It doesn't look like, it does not, it does not look ready to hit the beaches of Baywatch. So he doesn't even look ready to hit the beaches of murder, she wrote. So rest in peace to Floyd Levin. Another, oh yeah, that guy, dead at the age of 93. Then we have Thomas Allen Smith. Thomas Allen Smith dead at the age of 36, father of three children, very sad. He fell from a mountain in Wales. How often has this happened lately? People falling and dying. It's amazing to me. I must be, I put it out in the system out in the world thinking about it. But they, he fell from multiple injuries from a fall.

he did fall it is interesting that he would fall into Wales right this is the country shut up okay when you get the joke you'll laugh it's

W-A-L-E-S wasn't W-H-A-L-E-S anyway rest in peace to Thomas Allen Smith but I just started to become you know it started to become a problem people falling off cliffs and dying

that's all I'm saying starting to be a problem Thomas Allen Smith dead at the age of 36. Then we have a story here that there's an Oregon man who died mid-flight beside his wife.

Let me ask you a question. All right? So you're flying. You're flying from, let's say South America. And you're flying, your home is in Oregon. Let's just use that an example. You're flying from South America to Oregon. And you look up in your husband's dead. All right? And you go, holy crap.

What are you? Yo. Hey Bob, what do you do it? No, he doesn't need anything to drink right now. Oh, he's good. And so do you just end up, I will say, be quiet. Cover him up with a blanket. And then when you get to your destination,

then as people are getting off the plane, you tell the plane, hey, my husband is dead. and you know, we got to I need somebody help me haul his ass off of this plane, okay? But we let everybody get to their destination. Nope, we got to say something. And so then they have to do an emergency landing in Colombia, in Colombia.

So they do an emergency landing because, I mean, he's already dead. We know that, but no, we have to maybe try to save him. Okay. So now they got to try to spend, and then they go on to their destination without him. And now they got to try. Columbia says, well,

you know, if you want your husband, that, well, you could send it to Oregon for $25,000. That's on you. I mean, that was you.

You shouldn't have sent anything. You could have made it to Oregon for just the price of the ticket. But you had to say something. On the way. Ah. So I'm just saying, I know,

look, sad that, it's sad that the guy, died. I'm very sorry about that. I don't watch that on anyone, no matter where they die. I don't want anybody to want to die. Okay. And I guess

at 39, you may think maybe we need to try to save it, but you know if a person is not living next to you. You know that. You don't even need that. Obviously, you don't want that to be going off on the airplane, but you don't even need that. Because you already know.

Andres. I need to talk to you about something. Andres, Andre's isn't answering. So rest in peace to Andres Castro, dead at the age of 39. However, I guess they've got a GoFund be set up now because the wife, you know, wants to, has to pay the 25 grand to Columbia because she opened her mouth and said he was dead on the plane instead of going to Oregon. So I just, I don't understand. Here's this is a good rule of thumb.

If someone, if they're suffering, if it's a medical emergency, medical emergency, obviously you've got to do something. I know that. But if the medical emergency has already happened and you were dreaming or watching a movie and hubby,

your boy, Andres, had his medical emergency and didn't say anything to anybody and then dropped dead, get to your destination. I would want my wife to lean over and go, ooh, he does not look alive.

I need an extra blanket and let's get to the destination and then we'll take care of it. You know what I mean? I would expect my wife to do that. For me. Because I don't want all these people on a plane need to get to the destination.

Is it just me? All right, it's just me. So remember the guy, oh, shoot, Borgworth, I'm sure we talked about Borg Ward because that name rings in my head B-O-R-G-W-A-R-D-T

father of three they reported him missing last year in August following a trip to the lake they found a kayak and he wasn't there he was supposed to go he was supposed to be out of kayaking

and he wasn't there and they believed him to be dead and they never found a body okay so then they found out that he had used his passport in Canada on August 13th, which would be the next day. And that, you know, so that put up kind of a red flag like, oh, maybe he's not dead.

He just took off. So a month later, the sheriff revealed that the office had made contact with him and had spoken with him almost daily over the course of 10 days trying to convince him to come back to his family. all right because this was in Wisconsin he was long gone but he was alive and well

and the sheriff wasn't sure where he exactly was but he said he was somewhere in Europe so they then conducted a digital forensic analysis of Borgwart's laptop where they found evidence that he had been in communication with a woman from Uzbekistan

they also found inquiries and who doesn't I mean, who doesn't chat with women from Uzbekistan all the time. They also found inquiries had been made about moving funds to foreign banks. An airline gift card had been purchased, and a new $375,000 life insurance policy had been taken out. He also cleared his browser the day he disappeared. Well, authorities finally got in touch with him.

He told them. I just wanted to stage my own death. Yeah, I overturned by Kai. I dropped my phone into the lake. And when I reached the shore, I had an inflatable boat with me. When I reached the shore, I took an e-bike to Madison. Then I boarded a bus to Detroit. And then from Detroit to the Canadian border, then I got out of a plane.

Oh, okay. So he's leaving. I mean, he wants everyone to think that he's dead, but he's got the wife and the three kids. Holy cow. How do they feel, right? Oh, my gosh. So the investigation later determined that he had tried. travel to Canada, then France, then to a country in Asia, before he landed in the European

country of Georgia, according to the criminal complaint. Borgworth returned to the U.S. in December, citing his family as the reason for his return. Interesting. Okay. So he deeply regretted his actions that I did that night and all the pain that I caused my family and friends. Do you? His attorney said that while Borgworth made decisions that he deeply regrets, he has

since made some very good and positive decisions. You know, like turning himself in and return to the U.S. So now, well, yeah, the wife already filed for divorce right away as soon as he, you know, days of him being back, knowing that he's back. So he was, there's no really law in Wisconsin

covering what he did. But they ended up getting a plea deal. He paid $30,000 before the hearing. The money was divided between Green Lake County Sheriff's Office and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. It will help reimburse the departments for some of the resources spent on finding Borgwath across the 58-day period.

But they already knew. All right, I'd like to see the detailed bill of that. But okay. And then let's see. He was only part of the more than 51,000 owed to the two departments. Okay. So they ended up giving him, I think, 60 days in jail. 60 days in jail.

But no wife, no kids. I mean, that's over. I mean, who doesn't want to leave their wife and three kids to someone and go to someone in Uzbekistan? It doesn't say here, if the reason he wanted to come back to the states in December and turn himself in, is if the Uzbekistan girl wasn't real.

What if that was just an internet ruse? And once he got to Uzbekistan, yes, hello, this is, I'm looking for, I'm looking for Judy. This is Judy. Or if, I mean, or maybe, maybe Judy didn't exist at all, you know. But, wow. I would say 89 days in jail, you have to repay all this.

And now you're just, I mean, everybody looks at you like you're nothing. I mean, you got to leave. You can't stay in West, in Green Lake County, Wisconsin. Wow. And yeah, he didn't want them anyway, which is heartbreaking in and of itself. I mean, yeah, my dad died. What happened to your dad? Oh, my dad, I created a whole plan to go to something.

baby in Uzbekistan. I mean, the kids will get over it, but the wife, holy cow. That's how bad you are. I went to Uzbekistan to get rid of you. Wow. That is not good. It's not good at all. This episode is brought to you by Peloton.
