And it allowed his online contender to deliver the closing line “That’s what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes”. ---

> [@JohnT](#): > > And, to be honest, it’s more _fun_ to believe this happened, which matters too. 😀 When I heard the pizza box theory, I thought of the movie “Midnight Run”, where Deniro catches Marvin (the bumbling rival bounty hunter) when he takes a polaroid of the fugitive (Charles Grodin) and fails to notice that the motel name is on the towels in the background. ---

There was a real case where a criminal on the run was caught by a letter to a friend where his wife mentions a local pizza place. IIRC, it was one of those pizza-and-arcade places, where their son had a birthday party, a market that’s almost cornered by Chuck E. Cheese, except in a small geographic area where the mascot is instead a bear. ---

Reminds of a case that was solved when the suspect used the term, “devil’s strip” for the strip of grass between the sidewalk and the street, which was used in a very specific part of Ohio. Don’t have the citation at hand. ---

> [@Al128](#): > > or at least beats “being a chess grandmaster” by a country-mile Is/was Andrew Tate a “chess champion”? I can’t find any record or a USCF or FIDE rating and his [chess.com rating](https://www.followchain.org/andrew-tate-chess-record/) from blitz games is about 1600. ([Magnus Carlsen’s blitz rating](https://www.chess.com/ratings/blitz) is apparently above 2800). His father, [Emory Tate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emory_Tate), was a FIDE International Master, which is an elite level for a chess player. He was apparently a pioneer, one of the first internationally ranked black players and is famous for the teaching and mentoring he did in chess. ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > He inquires about what Tate did wrong, “Who are the victims? What are their names?” > > that, right there, is all kinds of not ok To be fair, the clip has no context. I don’t think Carlson was demanding the names of victims of rape or sex trafficking committed by Tate. I’m **guessing** he is auggesting that Tate’s pick-up artist shtik has no victims. _I could be mistaken though._ if anyone does know the full context of that clip, I would be grateful. I don’t agree with that suggestion either, but that’s a different category of problematic. ---
