All right, so earlier this week and last week, you guys talked about that scandal involving the former now Wheel of Fortune announcer, Jim Thornton. So he was caught on an airplane in like a pedophile chat room, being like real creepy.
So now the chat room people have something to say, the people that run the chat room.
Lern (3:42)
Oh, yeah. What about those chat room people?
Rizzuto (3:44)
The collateral damage, huh?
Moon (3:45)
I saw this. I thought this was very fascinating.
Because you would think if it's an actual, what do you call it, like a pedophile chat room, like an illicit dark web chat room, they're not going to come out and say anything. There's no they, right? It's just a nobody.
Scott Rizzuto (4:04)
But this is an organization.
Moon (4:05)
It's an actual organization. Check this out. Lern, did you read the story?
Rizzuto (4:09)
You guys know the story. So again, so this guy, his name is Jim Thornton, former Wheel of Fortune announcer. He was on an airplane and some fellow passenger sculpted him out, you know, on this chat room, designed for individuals with pediophilic thoughts.
SPEAKER_7 (4:30)
So the organization, The Rizzuto Show, Crap on Celebrities, The Rizzuto Show, Traffic in Western, Up, The Rizzuto Show.
Rizzuto (4:40)
Maybe they don't want us talking about it.
