Charles Barkley calls Shaq a ‘Karen’ on Inside the NBA

Former NBA player turned a $350,000 into a $600 million Wendy’s franchise
This is an awesome story!
1) Ulysses Lee “Junior” Bridgeman, born and raised in Chicago, was selected in the 1st round of the 1975 NBA Draft by the LA Lakers.
His time in LA didn’t last long though, Bridgeman was immediately traded to Milwaukee as part of a package to bring Kareem Abdul Jabbar to LA. pic.twitter.com/ACIeL6P1oz

2) Bridgeman wasn’t a superstar, but with a career total of over 11,500 points and almost 3,000 rebounds, he certainly wasn’t a slouch either.
Playing 10 years with the Milwaukee Bucks and 2 years for the Los Angeles Clippers, Bridgeman excelled as a sixth man.

4) To prepare for life after basketball, Bridgeman spent his offseason working the drive-through at a local Wendy’s to learn more about the fast food business.
By the time he entered retirement, Bridgeman already owned 3 Wendy’s franchises. pic.twitter.com/KQlqARXAwd

6) In 2016, as part of a bottling and distribution deal with The Coca Cola Company, Bridgeman agreed to sell off his Wendy’s and Chili’s franchise locations.
The agreement with Coca Cola granted Bridgeman exclusive operations in parts of Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Nebraska. pic.twitter.com/hMrE3C5dPl

8) Were often fed astonishing facts about an athlete’s mismanagement of money.
With Junior Bridgeman, it’s refreshing to see a player recognize the opportunity in front of them and put in the hard work and self-education necessary to transition from NBA player to business titan.

That’s real hard work on, and off the court!
What is the male equivalent of a Karen?
A nice redditor went through a lot of data to figure out what the male name is the equivalent to Karen.
Is it Greg? John? Keith?
Well, take a look.
I analysed 70 years of baby names in the US to decide what to call a male Karen. It’s Terry. [OC] from r/dataisbeautiful
Congrats to the Terrys out there.
Things are about to get a lot tougher for you!

UFC 252: Miocic scores big win, Cormeir suffers eye injury
It was a gnarly and bruising finale for Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic in their third main event UFC bout for a world heavyweight title prize on Saturday with Miocic pulling out the decision victory. The fight’s results appear to be tainted in the eyes of some, and specifically the left eye of Cormeir who was brutally poked in the eye during the fight.
Cormeir appears to have fought his final bout, even with the injury he put on a strong performance. He openly said after the fight during an interview with Joe Rogan that he was not able to see anything out of his injured eye.
AMC Theaters reopening with 15 cent movies & safety precautions
AMC Theaters have been closed since March and are preparing to reopen on August 20 with a huge deal. Internet Today breaks it all down in their latest video above. It’s worth noting we don’t share their exact grim sentiment of the entire situation, but we hope if you do venture out to a movie theater that you follow all of the safety rules and be safe.
To get people back in the seats AMC has announced that when they reopen they will offer “movies in 2020 at 1920 prices.”That’s right when AMC theaters reopen you’ll be able to see a film for only 15 cents! It’s worth noting this will not apply to any new movies but rather classic films.
Not all local AMC locations will open around Chicago on the 20th, with some select locations opening later on September 3rd so make sure you check ahead of time.
Comedian Big Jay Oakerson gets assaulted on stage
Comedian Big Jay Oakerson was assaulted and yanked off stage this week by a heckler who was in the process of getting kicked out of a show. You can see in the video posted by fellow comic Ari Shaffir, that Oakerson took quite the spill at the socially distant comedy show thanks to this [insert acceptable insult here}.. Page Six covered the entire story in detail with the producer of the show, Joel Richardson saying “Jay couldn’t have handled it any better,”.
Jay is a very talented comedian with a loveable flair for the filthy side, but his cigarette-smoking heart is still a heart of gold. He’s visited 101WKQX in the past and has always been an incredibly sweet guy to all of us. He did not deserve this, and frankly, no one deserves this.
As a fan of comedy and comedian myself, hecklers and people who disrupt shows are the thorns in our collective butts. You have to be wildly out of touch with the space you are in, emboldened by too many drinks, or some selfish sense of ‘this needs to be about me’. There will be people with comments that they think to help the show, but if the comic performing does not address for a comment, keep it to yourself. Imagine everyone you see in those ‘I won’t wear a mask’ fight videos floating around, you can lump in that behavior in with these narcissists. Besides this is not even heckling, it goes beyond that into a new darker real of behavior you would expect from a villain in an 80’s teen comedy.
Hopefully, this does not come off as preachy or anything just a reminder to be nicer to one another.
This is not the first time Oakerson has fended off an assailant. Here is a hilarious story he told about his run-in with a senior citizen who forced him to defend himself with a bike.
Backyard gardening problems
I have had quite a season so far with my quarantine backyard garden. Things took a turn when the neighborhood squirrels discovered my prized tomatoes. I asked for your advice:
I've got squirrel problems… <3 Lauren O'Neil
Posted by 101 WKQX on Wednesday, August 5, 2020
And quickly put some of your suggestions into practice. I have since regained control over my produce and coexisting beautifully with my little furry buddies once again.
But one of my favorite tips came in the form of this video, the squirrel ninja obstacle course by Mark Rober (the Package Thief vs. Glitter Bomb Trap guy,) enjoy!
