Speaker 1: 0:19

Hey, good morning, happy Friday. We have three stories to get to. We have some UFC, dana White, tribulate, not tribulation, that is not the right word. Actually, it is the right word that I want to use. Tribulation is a noun that means suffering or distress that results from misfortune or cruel or unjust treatment. So, yeah, we got Dana going off over here about politics. Then we have some Netflix, boxing stuff happening, suing and all this stuff. People are not happy with the Mike Tyson, jake Paul fight and now they want their money back. Okay, and then we're going to talk about this damned dingleberry that decided to fake his own death and he got caught. Of course, all right, let's get right to it. Oh, let's see, dana white says he does not want to do this ever again. Meaning politics, he says it's some disgusting shit. Oh, don't let trump daddy balls.

Speaker 1: 1:19

Here you say that the ufc ceo said he's never working on a campaign again after he stumped for his longtime pal, donald Trump, helping the Republicans since the November election white 55 had. Why do they do that? Why do they have to put the age in there? Somebody tell me is there a rule, is there a guideline that says you have to do that? I'm just fascinated by that now, because every story starts. You got to put their age in there, why? All right, white, 55. And I'm older than Dana White. What the hell?

Speaker 1: 1:52

White 55 had some choice words on the topic when asked by the New Yorker at Saturday's UFC 309 match at Madison Square Garden, where the president-elect and his top supporters gathered. I'm never effing doing this again. He told the magazine I want nothing to do with this. Shit. It's gross, it's disgusting. I want nothing to do nothing with politics. Ooh, I think. Hmm.

Speaker 1: 2:23

White appeared at the Republican National Convention and spoke on behalf of Donald Trump July, delivering a glowing endorsement from the stage. He also helped the Republican nominee reach young male voters who watched UFC alongside male podcasters. Why doesn't he want to do this again? All he had to do is go out there and stump for him, give him some speeches, big whoop, and walk in and walk in with him at the arena at a UFC fight. That's all he had to do, from what I have witnessed anyway. But it appears his stumping was only out of loyalty to his friend of 25 years, as the UFC chief swore off politics during the fight at the famed big apple venue where the future president assembled his cabinet picks and other politicians. Donald Trump is a tougher and more badass than anybody.

Speaker 1: 3:15

White declared you can only pray that you're a quarter of the man that Donald Trump was when a guy tried to take seven shots at his head with a high-powered rifle with a effing scope on it. Yeah, I agree, dana, but why don't you want to do politics? You really didn't do politics, hon. All you did was go out there and, like I said, made a couple of speeches and showed up with them at a fight or two. That's all you did. And you going on talk shows talking. That was your deal. You could have said no, all right, we're moving on. I don't really care, whatever.

Speaker 1: 3:52

Mike Tyson and Netflix and Jake Paul. Netflix hit with a $50 million class action lawsuit over Mike Tyson. Jake Paul fights streaming glitches. A Florida man get that, that's how it starts. A Florida man, of course has filed a class action lawsuit against Netflix over the poor streaming quality that affected millions during the widely viewed boxing match between former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and YouTube personality Jake Paul on Friday. I thought this was going to be about the betting, but apparently it's about the poor quality. Ronald Blue Denton why do they have blue I guess that's his nickname.

Speaker 1: 4:36

A resident of Hillsborough County, florida, alleged that the streaming giant was guilty of breach of contract over the frequent glitches. According to TMZ, look, people will sue over anything. You can look at them wrong and they will sue you. The class action lawsuit filed in Florida state court is seeking damages of at least 50 million dollars. What kind of damage did you have for 50 million dollars?

Speaker 1: 5:04

60 million americans were hyped to see iron mike tyson the baddest man on the planet versus youtuber turner prize fighter jake paul. What they saw was the baddest streaming on planet. The lawsuit claims it was alleged that many viewers missed portions of the fight due to the interruptions. But how is that worth 50 million dollars? Netflix customers experienced massive stream issues. It should have known better, because it's happened before. Yes, it has. They were woefully ill-prepared, according to the lawsuit, citing over 100 000 people complaining online. The lawsuit claimed that boxing fans along with the average americans wanting to see. Okay, I understand we had glitches and you wanted to see the fight, but why are you suing for that amount of money? Really, you were that distraught over it. I don't know. You could go finish reading that.

Speaker 1: 6:03

We're going to move on to the dad, this husband and dad. This is some crazy bull BS right here. Dad and I talked about this on the podcast, I don't know, a week or so ago, when I first heard about it and I said we needed a follow-up, didn't I? Well, here we go. Dad who faked own death and fled to Eastern Europe reveals how he did it after cops find him through. Mystery Uzbek woman. Uzbek Uzbek, u-s-b-e-k woman. A Wisconsin man who how old is he? We need to know how old he is right.

Speaker 1: 6:38

A wisconsin man who faked his own death, ditched his family and fled to eastern europe has been telling the cops how he pulled off the bizarre stunt, but still won't say if he's coming back. Oh, father of three, ryan. Father of three, ryan borgwart, vanished during a kayaking trip in August, leaving his forlorn family fearing the worst after he never came home from Green Lake, about an hour and a half north of Madison. But last week Green Lake County Sheriff Mark Podol said at a press conference that the 45-year-old fled to Eastern Europe. And now Borgwart has opened up to the police about how and why he faked his drowning demise. Well, let's see, do tell.

Speaker 1: 7:27

During the trip, borgwart overturned his kayak, chucked his phone into the water and paddled an inflatable boat to shore, according to WYFF in Wisconsin. Then he rode an electric bike 70 miles south to the state capitol, where he boarded a bus for Detroit, then another to Canada, before hopping on a plane. The sheriff added Podol, who said Borgwald has spoken to cops almost every day since November 11th, even sent authorities a video of himself from his new digs. I'm safe and secure, no problem, borgwald said in the cell phone video. I hope this works. I hope this works.

Speaker 1: 8:15

Cops are still verifying Borgwalk's account, but they still aren't happy. He's okay. They what? But they said wait, but they said they're happy, he's okay. The great news is we know that he is alive and well, podol said. The bad news is we don't know where Ryan exactly is and he has not yet decided to return home.

Speaker 1: 8:32

Look, I don't want you to come home if you did all that to leave me. You ask and stay right on over there. He could be charged with. Well, he could be charged with a crime, yeah, an obstructing of. Yeah, I would say so. Meanwhile, cops are pulling at his heart strings to convince him to come back to his family. No, sir, your ass can stay right on over. I don't want your ass now that you did all that. No, you can just stay over there. That's what I have to say. Christmas is coming, podol said, and what better gift could your kids get than to be there for christmas? He left his children. Do you think his children I don't know, I don't know how old they are they might want to see him. I don't know, I don't know. But how do you come home and explain that to your children? Somebody answer that for me. I don't know, I don't know. I would be so effing pissed off. No, I wouldn't want him to come back, because he went to that extreme to leave and he and he feels like he's forced to come back. What is he gonna do then? No, thank you. Uh, let's see. But as the case wore on, the sheriff's office began scouring his computer, which not only put them on his trail, but showed that he'd been talking to a woman from a former. So that's how they found him and everything.

Speaker 1: 9:53

Well, la-ti-da, all right, we're moving on to the question of the day do you have a celebrity doppelganger? Has anybody ever told you you looked like a certain celebrity and if so, who is it? I've not really been told I look like anybody, I guess, in my younger days young, young, young, younger days uh, my family, of course, is my family. My cousins used to say I no, I'm not even gonna tell you because I don't think it's a look like at all. Um, all right, I guess that's. That's all I've got for now, and I will, the gent and I will be back tomorrow, because it's Saturday. Tonight is movie night for us. We're watching Casablanca. We decided to watch some older movies, humphrey Bogart movies and we're starting with Casablanca. All right, I have seen it, the gent has not, but I watched it a very long time ago. So tonight will probably be like watching it again for the first time. I mean, all right, thanks for listening. Y'all Appreciate it. Have a good one. Bye.
