He's going to get what he deserves.
On the podcast, The Matchup with Aaliyah, I pair prominent female athletes with unexpected guests.
On a recent episode, I sat down with undisputed boxing champ, Clarissa Shields, and comedian, Wanda Sykes, to talk about Wanda's new movie, Undercard, the art of trash talk, and what it really means to be ladylike.

This episode features descriptions that some listeners might find upsetting.
Please listen with
Case 1.
A lady, aged 20 years, in feeble health, was extensively burned by her mosquito curtains and calico bed cover being set on fire after she had fallen asleep.
The flames enveloped her head, neck, and arms and were not extinguished for 20 or 30 seconds.
Ardent spirits were first applied, then flaxseed oil, and lastly a calcareous soap of the same oil and lime water.
Laudanum was administered freely, both externally and internally.
Case two.
The editor, while rescuing the patient described in case one, was severely burnt on both hands from compressing the burning clothes with his bare hands until the flames were extinguished.
The cuticle exfoliated from nearly the whole right hand and the cutis vera sloughed in seven places.
The left hand suffered much worse.
The whole cuticle was separated and much of it was rolled up,
especially that which covered the space between the wrist and hollow of the hand and extended up the inner side of the thumb as far as the middle of the second phalanx.
Between these limits and the metacarpal bone of the little finger on one side and the corresponding bone of the thumb on the other, the true skin was killed and turned black.
Immediately after the accident, he immersed both hands in whiskey, then in a liniment of flaxseed oil and lime water, after which the affected parts were wrapped in rags dipped in a painter's mixture of the same kind of oil and white lead, ground together.
In three days, this was replaced by carrot poultices with yeast and Peruvian bark, the deeply burnt parts being stimulated at different times with tincture of myrrh, oil of turpentine, ammoniated alcohol, and other excitants."
