Hey, it's King Scott, and there's been a huge improvement in my life. Yes, the last few months have been crazy with the fence, work, and a pregnant wife, so I've been off my routine of making great healthy meals at home. That is until I heard of Factor, so I decided to give it a try. The meals arrived at my door, I opened the box, loaded with chef-crafted meals from Factor, and two minutes later, I ate like a king with a grilled filet mignon and truffle mushroom tortellini. And my wife, she enjoyed the balsamic beurre blanc filet mignon with risotto and Brussels sprouts. And what else is incredible is I could spoil myself with these incredibly delicious meals because they're designed by dieticians so I can eat as clean as I want. And like I said, Factor meals are ready in two minutes and they require no prep time, there's no cleanup. So even on those busy days, you can still have a great meal. And this is why I use Factor and you should too. Let's eat real.

Hey, this is Chris Jericho-Fozzie, and you're listening to The Rizzuto Show.

**Moon** (2:39)
Welcome to this Thursday show. August 6th. August 6th. Isn't that wild?

**Rizz** (2:46)
Yeah.

**Moon** (2:46)
That is wild.

**Rizz** (2:47)
I know. It feels like the fifth.

**Moon** (2:49)
We're already halfway through August. On this day, 136 years ago, back in the day, 1890, the electric chair was first used.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:59)
Yes.

**Lern** (3:00)
On whom?

**Moon** (3:01)
In a prison in Auburn, New York, convicted ax murderer William Kimmler fried for killing his girlfriend. Now, guys, did it work out perfectly?

**SPEAKER_7** (3:09)
No, it didn't. Absolutely not.

**Moon** (3:12)
They botched it and had to zap him twice.

**Lern** (3:15)
We've seen an electric chair in person before.

**Moon** (3:18)
Yeah.

**Lern** (3:18)
It's wild to see.
It's like, I don't know, like the Museum of Torture or whatever. Wild.

**Rafe** (3:25)
I saw some bit. I can't remember the comedian. I don't even know if it was a comic, but I saw something online where someone's like, do you guys know the first electric chairs didn't have straps? There's a problem because everybody just got up and moved to a different chair.
They used to just put you in and not strap you down. They're like, sit still.

**Moon** (3:43)
All right. Now you hang out. I'm going to go over here on this big switch on the wall.

**Rafe** (3:49)
It's just going to tickle.

**Lern** (3:51)
That's crazy.

81 years ago, 1945, the Enola Gay dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. 70,000 people died instantly, another 60,000 dying in the next four months. 90% of the city was leveled. It was the first time the atom bomb had been dropped on a populated area and the first time it was used in warfare. Enola Gay co-pilot Robert Lewis wrote in his logbook that day, My God, what have we done? 64 years ago, 1962, Jamaica became an independent nation within the British Commonwealth. 61 years ago, 1965, the Beatles released Help.
