Starting point is 00:00:24 Thanks for coming along for the ride today. Just a reminder for those of you living in the Northeast. if you are still without power due to Tropical Storm Isasis, Tropical Storm Isis that blew through there. You might get your,
Starting point is 00:00:48 you might get your power back sometime in the next few days. Maybe. They're working on it. The president of Con Ed said, you know, the storm really packed the wallop. and it's an incredible impact on our infrastructure.
Starting point is 00:01:06 So, you know, we're getting on it. I'm not sure. I'm not going to tell you how it's being prioritized or anything like that. But we're getting on it. Okay. So don't worry about it. Look, I know the governor's mad at us. I know we, you know, we said we were going to bury a bunch more lines than we did.
Starting point is 00:01:28 But we're on it. don't worry about it. Sure, we charge 40% more for electricity than the rest of the country. Sure, that happens. But we're on it and we'll try to get your lights back on and your, you know, your refrigerators and your freezers and your dishwashers and, you know, anything power-wise because Lord knows we don't have enough things to plug in. We'll get it back on for you, you know, just hold on, cool your jets. But listen, Uh, there's a few places around the area that we're going to give you some, some dry ice. So we're providing you dry ice. Just go pick it up. We've got a couple of home depots and some food emporium and, you know, a place over there in Queens that George Sifford's Banshell parking lot.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Yeah, there's some dry ice over there for you too. So just go get your dry ice. dry ice and quit your whining. Okay? We'll get it back on as soon as we can. Speaking of Home Depot, though, they've got a thing for sale now that they're advertising for, you know, a Halloween decoration.
Starting point is 00:02:52 And my wife is so cute. She is so cute. She thinks there's going to be a Halloween. She is cute that way. So she sends me this story about a dragon that Home Depot has for sale. And I must admit, it's kind of cool. You know, you put it out in your front yard to scare the kitties.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Now, she wants to use it for, you know, photo shoots as well for her frame life photography. But of course it would have to go out in front of the house, you know, just for the, you know, just for the Halloween thing. That isn't going to happen. I guarantee you that. It's like 69 inches tall. And it's a, you know, it's got the, you know, it's got the, wings and it roars and the eyes light up and it's pretty cool uh it is i must admit it's kind of cool it would be kind of cool to have it it's only 400 bucks so shut up just go get it
Starting point is 00:03:52 at the home depot okay now sure it will blow smoke if you buy the separate fog machine and if you buy the separate fog juice that goes in the fog machine. So, and then if you're in the Northeast, you need power. Hopefully your power will be turned back on before Halloween. Or whatever the next holiday is that they're going to allow us to celebrate, which, by the way, will probably be, you know, Thanksgiving alone together. We'll all are going to have Zoom. Thanksgiving dinners, but, you know, and Christmas, of course, will be, you know, Zoom Christmases.
Starting point is 00:04:37 So don't even think about having Halloween. But, uh, so for, let's see, the, you got 400 bucks for the dragon. I'm sorry, $399 for the dragon. And then you did the fog machine. So you're probably going to get what? A fog machine is going to cost you, uh, at least 60, 70 bucks, right? So maybe 100. And then you got to get the fog juice, which is probably anywhere between 20 and 50 bucks, depending on what you spend.
Starting point is 00:05:10 So you're looking at, you know, a good, a good five to 600 bucks just to get this thing up and running the way you want it. Because if you just buy the dragon and have it sitting out there with the roars and the eyes lighting up, you're going to want the fog. You're going to want it so it looks like it's blowing fire. I mean, that's just what you're going to want to do. So maybe you get that next year. You know, you budgeted it in. I don't know. But it'd be kind of cool to have.
Starting point is 00:05:39 You know, it'd be kind of slick. Maybe she could write it off. Oh, anyway, the, uh, the dragon is kind of cool, but the whole Halloween thing, that's silly. You know you're not going to be celebrating Halloween, right? I know. I know. Dry your eyes. All right.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Look, it's a fat pile Friday. Headlines from the fat pile today. I've got just a, we just plow through some headlines and, you know, I'll try. I'll try to give you headlines and not necessarily, you know, the whole story. It's kind of tough to do on a lot of stories like this one about the grandmother who claimed, you know, that she was arrested. I mean, she claimed she was arrested. And she was arrested. I remember the story by Disney World's Magic Kingdom.
Starting point is 00:06:35 She was arrested for having CBD oil in her bag. And, you know, that was a deal when the, you know, when the story happened in April of last year. But now she's suing Disney. She was handcuffed in front of her 8-and-10-year-old grandchildren and says the entire ordeal was traumatizing. for the little ones, or traumatizing. The grandma says she panicked while being placed in the back of a police car,
Starting point is 00:07:06 began vomiting, denied medical attention, subjected to a miserable 15-hour ordeal. Wow. She got stripped down at the jail for a cavity search. This is what she claims.
Starting point is 00:07:21 And in the end, prosecutors did not pursue charges and closed the case against her. Now, the cops even traced the CBD oil and found no trace of THC. She's filing suit anyway. She feels traumatized. And of course you would, having this happen to you at Disney.
Starting point is 00:07:42 But she has a civil rights attorney. Ben Crump filed the suit against Disney, the Orlando Police Department, and the Orange County Sheriff's Department. And she has a 69-year-old lady from North Carolina with her grandkids. get arrested for that at Disney. The mouse house police arrested her for having the CBD oil. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Okay. That sounds like, you know, maybe she settles out of court for a couple of bucks. She is alleging assault and battery, false arrest and imprisonment, defamation, emotional distress, and according to this, more. There's always
Starting point is 00:08:27 and more. She is suing for $18 million plus additional damages for her husband and other family members. Now that does seem
Starting point is 00:08:46 a bit extreme. Who am I though? Who am I? If this happened to my grandmother, I'm absolutely suing Disney. For 18 million? I don't know. Ben Crump, I mean, he wants his payday. Hester, Berkhalter, the 69-year-old lady, she wants her payday. And the little ones, the 8-10-year-olds,
Starting point is 00:09:10 I mean, they've got to go to college. You can't deprive them of college, even though they're still traumatized by the arrest of their grandmother. You know, their 8- and 10-year-old kids now. I mean, they can't even survive for another 10 or 20 years without being traumatized by seeing their grandmother arrested at Disney. So, I mean, good luck. What do you think? Disney settles out of court for, you know, two million. Here you go.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Shut up. Maybe we never hear it about again, right? It settles. We'll hear that the case was settled, and there's no mention of how much or any of it. It just goes away. Just goes away. All right.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Okay, headlines, all right? Virginia man shoots an active robber in the store, is arrested himself. This is happening more and more now. around the country. This guy, they were robbing his store. He'd fallen asleep in the back of the store. I'm doing the story again, aren't I?
Starting point is 00:10:04 Not the headlines. Great story, though. I mean, the guy is asleep in the back of the store. The store is getting robbed. He comes out, fires the gun. And then, I guess he went back into the back room again and then came back out and fired again. And one of the people got shot,
Starting point is 00:10:23 who was a minor? and other two got away. And so he's apparently had an issue with the police before because he was charged
Starting point is 00:10:40 with malicious wounding, which, you know, the people were robbing the store. Reckless handling of a firearm and violation of a protective order. So I guess he was under a previous order to not.
Starting point is 00:10:54 legally possess a firearm but if the firearm belonged to the store and not him then it's just maybe they get them for you know reckless handling of a firearm you know it's just incredible protecting someone's property even if you're the worker at the store and you get arrested for protecting the property why did you just let him go why did you just let him go huh should have just done that caretaker caught on video abusing 88 year old man in a wheelchair This was out of Tampa, Florida. I don't know why I watched these videos. I try to make myself not watch them because it just pisses me off so bad.
Starting point is 00:11:34 This young punk is working at a nursing home facility in Hillsborough County. And that's my stop-of-ground. And this is an 88-year-old guy. Look, I can understand frustration. But if you are dealing with frustration with helping older people or younger, people, don't work there. Go get another job. You're supposed to...
Starting point is 00:12:02 The kid was slapping the old man, and you just want to slap this kid. You just... I don't want to be that angry against the kid, but I am. I really, I want to hurt the kid, and I shouldn't have watched the video. I knew better. YouTube stars charged with felonies after staging bank robbery pranks. You read the story.
Starting point is 00:12:24 they were let go one time, then they came back and did it again, and they got arrested. I mean, most people would say, good. What do you do on stage in bank robberies? Well, it's for a YouTube channel. What are they supposed to do? I was thinking about me,
Starting point is 00:12:37 I'd be doing that for chewing the fat. Maybe we staged a bakebacker. No, I wasn't. It's just a, just a joke. A woman detained by Myrtle Beach Police for wearing thong bikini. I watched this video. The video is like 20 minutes long,
Starting point is 00:12:50 and I'm about eight minutes in when I think, I don't know that I could make it all the way. And my wife, why don't you just fast forward? Just fast forward. Well, then I might miss something. Duh. You know, if you, look, if you've bought into the video, you know it's 20 minutes, you've bought into it for eight already.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Pretty tough. Pretty tough to let the other 12 go. Agonizing. The cops are just seemingly dumb. But, you know, the two, the two original police officers. and then they brought in the boss man, and he got it settled, where they ended up just agreeing to cover up more.
Starting point is 00:13:33 The girl in the video, even the headline picture, is not actually the girl that the complaint was about. It was her friend. And during the video, but she's the one that got handcuffed because she appeared to be trying to get away or whatever.
Starting point is 00:13:47 They're on a beach, and some lady got butt hurt because these girls were in their bikinis and were in their thonged bikinis. They had tops on. The one girl had a T-shirt, so, you know, it was wet and, you know, her breasts are showing through. And what they're saying is,
Starting point is 00:14:03 other people on the beach, now these guys over there are wearing thong bikinis, go talk to them. And the one cop at the end decides to go over there and talk to them. But in the end, the girl says, well, well, I'll just, you know, I'll just cover up some more then, okay? Can we go now? Yeah, go ahead. Get out of here. It's just agonizing.
Starting point is 00:14:19 It was a waste of time. And it does explain why these guys are police officers for Myrtle Beach. An Oregon drug dealer, Oregon, Oregon. An Oregon drug dealer bragged on video how much money he was making a week.
Starting point is 00:14:35 He got busted. Yep, he's going to prison. So good, good news on that. We have a man that they believed was murdered. In Europe, he's found. He was living in the woods.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Oh, okay. No problem. He just, he just, disappeared. It just went away. He was in Britain about five years ago, a Lithuanian man, and he became the subject. You know, they thought he was murdered, and they were been looking for him this whole time, and he's been living in the woods.
Starting point is 00:15:08 He just disappeared. And somebody, about a year ago, said, I think that's him. And then they finally caught up to him and realized that it was him. And he was like, I just went away, okay? They believe that he went away Because he was scared for his life So yeah And now we just got his face everywhere
Starting point is 00:15:28 Don't worry about it And more More police officers in the news This headline Cop reportedly shares Sexually Explicit photos Of college student After she files a police report
Starting point is 00:15:45 About extortion And the headline Continues with she was dead days later. The entire story is all about the horrific the horrific times that this young lady had and she ended up getting killed by her boyfriend who ended up killing himself and but the cop had explicit photos of the girl
Starting point is 00:16:11 and he was just happy to have the hot photos of the girl and they were angry at him for showing the you know the sexy pictures of the girl of the girl, especially after she was found dead. And he's like, well, look what she looked like before she died. So come on now, dude, what are you doing? A, you're not supposed to be sharing those pictures anyway, because they were given to you for another crime that she was trying to get rid of her boyfriend who was abusing her. And then she ends up getting killed by the boyfriend who was actually abusing her.
Starting point is 00:16:44 And the cop was like, yeah, but look how hot she was. Check out these pictures. So you deserve whatever you get. Now, let's continue to plow through some of these headlines so you at least have some idea of what's going on around the world and around the country. The hearing for the 17-year-old hacker, the Twitter hacker, they had a court hearing held via Zoom, of course, for the teen. And during the court hearing, it was hacked,
Starting point is 00:17:19 with rap music and porn. So yeah. He may have said it. I may have done that himself. Who knows? Facebook. I don't know if we talked about it on the air or not. I mean, it was definitely talked about.
Starting point is 00:17:34 I've done, you know, I've been on Pat Unleased for the last three days and I've doing chewing the fat. And I've talked my tongue to the bone for the last three days. But stories get mixed up on when and where I talked about them. So Facebook removed Trump's post over coronavirus, what they called misinformation. And, you know, I guess Twitter and Facebook are, you know, clamping down on misinformation, of course.
Starting point is 00:18:03 That's what they believe they have to do. I know there was a story, well, let's talk about it, where I can find it, with the we chat, doing the same thing, right? They're saying that they've created, we've got better, information so that we can stop the spread of misinformation. The WhatsApp, not the WhatsApp, piling in a new feature to fight misinformation. I'm glad that these social media companies are able to tell me what is misinformation.
Starting point is 00:18:38 I want them to do that. Man, am I happy they're doing that for me? I am. I am for sure. And I know that. You know, we've been beating up on TikTok for quite some time. And Trump signed a deal, right? They got 45 days.

So have you seen the troll doll, from the movie Trolls World Tour,
Starting point is 00:24:14 the Giggle and Sing Poppy doll, that a mom posted a three-minute video on her Instagram. Red Pill Babe posted a video on Instagram TV and on her Facebook and it was, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:36 it's rendered, you know, tens of thousands of views about the troll doll that her daughter got as a present. And it's, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:47 you touch the stomach and it laughs and sings and does all kinds of stuff and it does like 10 different things, I think. It says on the box if you touch the stomach. Now there are some special troll dolls
Starting point is 00:25:00 of which this lady's daughter received that has another button so that it makes other sounds as well and the mom is just a little wound up because the button is, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:16 down there. I know. I know. It's really kind of weird and you think When you first see it, if you, you know, looking at it from her standpoint, you're like, holy cow. Because you lay the doll down and you have to put the legs up for those sounds to happen. Now, some would say, well, you know, just hold the head and it sits down and then it makes these noises, right? It makes other sounds.
Starting point is 00:25:50 It's a special troll doll. It was a limited addition. troll dolls for ages 4 plus it says on the box and the box which she has in the video shows no mention of this special button that makes sounds now the mom in her video lays the doll down and shows shows what sounds the doll makes. Down here is a button right here on her privates. And if you push those, she makes these sounds. Now the mom is really upset about that. And she believes that it's disturbing.
Starting point is 00:26:51 It brings up the question about how these companies are prepping our kids for sex trafficking. It addresses things, you know, like this of the sexual nature that are thrown into our kids' faces without us even knowing it, right? It's not even on the box. It doesn't even talk about it. Now, of course, the social media gurus have now put a fact check label on it. So, and it says in the story, Instagram and Facebook, uh, same thing, my friends. Uh, same thing. Same thing. Um, same thing. But when you click on the fact check icon, it talks about independent fact checkers say this is partly false.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Well, how is it partly false? Because she shows the Dow doing exactly what she says it does. I bet I know. The button triggers giggly sounds when the Dow is placed in the sitting. position, not for grooming kids for sex. Oh, okay. Okay. Sure.
Starting point is 00:28:10 That makes sense. That makes this whole story partly false. She says it's her opinion. You know, she's wound up about it and how what's happening in the world. Incredible. Now, I will say that Hasbro, of course, said that there's no evidence. It's beyond the fears of some others, that the button is part of a secret strategy.
Starting point is 00:28:36 You know, so senior vice president of global communications for Hasbro, Julie Duffy told them, well, that's a good gig, right? VP of Global Communications for Hasbro, that's a good gig. Julie Duffy told them that not all the poppy dolls have that button. What are you stupid? She didn't say that I did. Just the Giggle and Sing version. Oh!
Starting point is 00:29:07 Okay, so if you don't have the Giggle and Sing version, then you don't get the special button in the private part area. This feature was designed to react when the doll was seated, and I'm sure that's what they originally thought. thought, but no one at Hasbro. Remember, this is a global company. It's not Bill's toy from the yard sale. Well, I mean, it still could be from a global company by then.
Starting point is 00:29:35 But Bill didn't make it just to sell at the flea market. This is Hasbro made it. And nowhere in the process did someone say, you know, if we put a button in the crotch, somebody's going to think that's a sexual thing. we probably shouldn't do that we should put it on the bottom of their feet or something or on their back or not at all
Starting point is 00:29:59 but nope it went through the entire process the entire we'll just put them in the private parts on the giggle and sing version of the dials we won't say anything about it it'll be a surprise and they will love it
Starting point is 00:30:13 anyway the feature was designed to react when the dial was seated but now now we recognize the placement of the sensor, you know, it may have been perceived as inappropriate. Sure. It certainly wasn't intentional. And look, we're happy to provide consumers with a replacement poppy doll of similar value
Starting point is 00:30:37 through our consumer care team, if you want. I mean, that's fine. I would say no to that, just simply because that's going to be worth a lot of money. Because according to senior vice-price, president of global communications for Hasbro, Julie Duffy, has said, we're in the process of removing the item for purchase. So we got that going for us, right? All you had to do is complain, silly parents. We gave you a toy with a special thing, and now you're reacting like it's some sort of sexual thing. That's because it's, you know, where the girl's private parts would be.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Wow. I mean, all right, fine. You know, you're whined enough. We'll take it off the market, okay? Wow, we try to do something nice. So if you have one of the Hasbro World Tour Troll dolls, the special, what is it, the special sing, oh, I'm sorry, the special giggle and sing version that has the special button.
Starting point is 00:31:47 The special little button. right there on where the private parts would be. You can turn it in or you can keep it and sell it later. Don't throw that box away. All righty, let's get back to some of these headlines. I mean, we've, okay, we just, I'm going to, we have so much to get to every day. And I try to give you as much as I can. You can quote me on that.
Starting point is 00:32:26 We have Lord and Taylor, the U.S.'s oldest department store file. for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Eastman Codex executive chairman granted options for the 1.75 million shares last Monday based on a previous understanding with the board. Those options are now worth tens of millions after last week's stock surge, and that's being investigated now as well. Major League Baseball drew much higher ratings for its first week than a year ago. Commissioner is determined to keep the season alive in spite of some players testing positive for coronavirus.
Starting point is 00:33:07 And so we'll see how that goes. Prepare yourself for Zoom office holiday parties. Yeah, that'll be fun. Yeah, I told you, it's going to be Zoom Halloween, Zoom Thanksgiving, Zoom Christmas, it's a Zoom world. I mean, invest in Zoom if you haven't already, man. that is for sure. Like, I am not an investment broker, and I do not have any money invested in Zoom
Starting point is 00:33:37 other than, you know, using their product. But I, you know, if I had your money, I might, you know, I might put a couple of bucks into the Zoom deal. Yeah, Uber said employees don't have to come back to the office through June of next year. I thought Uber worked out of their, cars. Anyway, a couple hundred thousand people at Google do not have to return to the office until next
Starting point is 00:34:06 summer as well. There's plenty of companies that are extending their work from home mandates. So if you like working from home, you can continue to do it. Just incredible. James Murdoch, Son of Rupert resigned from the board of News Corp. That's the parent company of the Wall Street Journal of the New York Post, citing disagreements over certain editorial content published by the company's news outlets and certain other strategic decisions. Oh. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Well, you're, we're on the board. So, I mean, I'm guessing you've got to say in some of that. Apple sales on their share, I'm sorry, Apple shares, if I could speak, surged after the earning report. So, I mean, it's now more than Saudi Aramco, right? I mean, we talked about that. They're just, I mean, worth a fortune. A couple hundred billion companies are pretty close to it. Chevron and Exxon Mobil, $9.4 billion loss last quarter.
Starting point is 00:35:25 and hackers have gained access or did gain access to traffic lights in a Denver suburb but they did it so they could show how they could improve traffic flow amen I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to do this in cities that I've lived in and now since I've lived in this area now for a while
Starting point is 00:35:52 there is a couple of thorough affairs that need this done. The problem comes into showing itself when you're going between cities. See, these metroplexes, you know, you're driving into different cities on the same road. Well, technically, Jeff, that's a different road because it's in the different city. Oh, okay, whatever. But so you have different city managers and different engineers, city engineers that are, working the roadways.
Starting point is 00:36:29 So what's good for one city may not be good for another, and it screws up the entire traffic flow because lights turn green and red off schedule. It's maddening, maddening. And good news, for those of you that thought Tim Allen was dead because he was trending on Twitter, he has informed everyone that he is still a lot of. A couple of tweets. He made joke of it. Imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning
Starting point is 00:37:02 to a beautiful day in Michigan, only to find out I'm dead. How did it happen? Can anyone tell me? I'm dying to know. Hashtag dead man walking. Then he tweeted, okay, I figured it out. Some noisy neighbor saw that I was having...
Starting point is 00:37:18 I can't speak. I can't speak today. Is it? Okay. I figured it out. Some nosy neighbor saw what I was having for lunch. and figured I was going to die. And he posted that with the photo of hot dogs.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Nobody knows why he was trending. I was looking. I was trying to find out, actually. He was trending because he was trending. I mean, it happens all the time. You see somebody's named trending. Your first reaction is, no, they didn't die. And you click on it.
Starting point is 00:37:49 So maybe Twitter does that on their own ever so often just to throw people off. Not that I would think Twitter would ever do anything like that ever. But it wouldn't surprise me. You just throw a celebrity's name up there in the trending list so that people click on the trend, thinking that that person has passed away. When they haven't, it's just a story about them running down the street.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Or a story about isn't a story. It's just a story of people. I mean, he starts to trend because they put his name in the trending list and people think that you're dead, so they're clicking on the trend, which there, in turn, makes the trend to trend. Got it? Okay, that's better. As long as we're talking about celebrities, we can talk about Ellen.
Starting point is 00:38:40 Just a little. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. But now, all right, remember, we talked about how she's got celebrities defending her. Well, now those celebrities are facing backlash because they can't believe. how insensitive that these celebrities are because Ellen has incentive to be nice to them.
Starting point is 00:39:06 And so they would see what an evil, dirty person she is. Okay. All right, fine. Don't stick up for anybody. And we have a story from a 52-year-old man. All right. So back in the 70s,
Starting point is 00:39:22 apparently. Ellen bullied this person, who is a man now. He was 11-year-old boy then, calling him fat and stupid. So, I mean, you know what kind of evil person she is if she called someone fat and stupid. In the 70s, we can't have her on television. She's done. She's done. I mark my words, Ellen is done.
Starting point is 00:39:57 with her talk show, maybe even the game show, she will go away. There's no way that show comes back. Download and subscribe to more content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. A couple of quick health updates for chewing the fat today. We found that hair loss may be a coronavirus symptom. A new study is found. So really, we're at a point now where anything that you have,
Starting point is 00:40:27 going wrong for you is possibly coronavirus. So be careful. If you have something going wrong with you, coronavirus caused it. And really scary news coming from the journal, Arthritis and Rheumatology. And who doesn't get the Arthritis and Rheumatology Journal? Gout is on the rise because
Starting point is 00:40:57 of our big indulgent appetites. That's right. Thanks to years of dietary overindulgence, gout is making a comeback. So if you have gout, it's because of your indulgence over your food, you fat, stinking, ugly American.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Well, I mean, or worldwide. We're just eating way too much. You know what? My friends, I bet you in this story, I know it's Headline Friday, but I bet you in this story. I bet you they are promoting eating bugs. Arthritis and rheumatology is talking, oh, this is their way of coming back to us and telling us that we need to eat bugs,
Starting point is 00:41:52 because we need to eat better. It's because of our fatness and our red meat. Risk factors, alcohol, red meat consumption, diabetes, heart conditions, old age, which are prevalent in the Western world. I hate the Western world so much. Increasing trend of gout burden is most likely to continue because of the aging population. And coupled with increasingly sedentary lifestyle, the COVID-19 lockdown. We've got the perfect storm for gout.
Starting point is 00:42:25 And a burden of gout require better awareness. especially of risk factors, early diagnosed in treatment, and, oh, no mention of eating bugs? What the heck? That can't be right. This story must be printed wrong. Eat bugs. And feel better about yourself.
Starting point is 00:42:45 Because if you don't eat bugs, you're just a fat Westerner. So, yeah, eat bugs. bugs, it never ceases to amaze me that the stories we enjoy are around, well, naked people. At least the stories I do. But it does surprise me that so many of them are around, well, naked guys. At least to me, the funny ones are all around naked guys instead of naked girls. You might be able to figure it out at some point in your life. I remember I told you the story about when I was surveying one summer,
Starting point is 00:43:43 land surveying with a friend of mine and I was like, yeah, during the summer, I might see some good-looking women. You know what I'm saying? The only thing I saw was one naked man coming out of his house and jumping in his pool. I guess that made it a good summer. Well, there's a story out of Germany where, at the naked park in Germany.
Starting point is 00:44:09 It's called Devil's Lake in Berlin. They have a picture of this naked man running after a boar, this pig. So the pig, and the pig has got two little pig babies. The pig takes the guy's laptop. and so he's chasing after it. The picture is tremendous. The guy is chasing the pig. The pig's got his laptop.
Starting point is 00:44:39 And he is, you know, obviously naked, but he is not going to let that pig have his laptop. Now, according to the story, the photographer got permission from the naked man to post the picture. And also it was reported that he did get his laptop back. So good news. And I'll be damned, damned if I let this wild boar take my laptop here at the nudist lake. No way.
Starting point is 00:45:11 I don't care if I'm naked or not. And the other thing that looking at this picture now that I'm talking about it reminds me of, most of the people at nudist colonies and here at the nudist lake, the other people in the picture seem to be clothed. It does look like there's Like one blanket that has a couple of people naked and a couple people with clothes But it does appear that You know, the people who we end up seeing naked aren't necessarily
Starting point is 00:45:45 They look like me You know, they look like me And so That's a little disheartening That's all It's a little disheartening So then I see this story and the headline.
Starting point is 00:46:01 Man loses, and the headline is the other word for man part to infection, which in and of itself is really a bummer. You don't want to lose your man part to anything, let alone infection. But the medical community
Starting point is 00:46:22 will not stand for it. This will not happen, my friends. Okay? Not going to have. happen. We are going to fix this. So apparently the man got a severe blood infection. I know. I know. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Don't look at me. I didn't have anything to do with it. All right. I just know that he had an infection that worsened into sepsis. And he saw his fingers and toes and man part turned black. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:46:52 He was completely gutted and his man part fell off. Now his other things his testicles were still intact. Now the doctors, again, were not going to have this. It just wasn't going to have it. So they decided
Starting point is 00:47:17 that they were going to grow this man, another man part. And they grew the man part on his arm. I gave him a skin graft. and gave him a man-part reconstruction, built him a new one. On his left arm, a tube and a hand pump. I said to allow the mechanical...
Starting point is 00:47:45 Well, I've seen that before we have the hand pump, so it's just... I gave him a man part, but it doesn't fully work, but he does have a man part. I mean, wow. Ugly enough. Right?
Starting point is 00:47:59 So, he's... for the operation to transfer the new man part to the groin area. It was pushed off because he did not feel well. Yeah, no kidding. I mean, his health is in trouble anyway, thanks to the blood poisoning. But, and so the picture, come on now, they've got it blurred out. I want to see the whole picture. I want to see the guy's new man part hanging from his arm.
Starting point is 00:48:33 All right. I mean, hold on a second. to find the picture i want to see if it's if it's actually uh man has man part growing on left arm i want to see if they say they claim that they gave him uh you know a larger man part than what originally fell off They're all blurred out. Come on. Are we even America or worldwide internet anymore? What kind of country have we come to?
Starting point is 00:49:18 When we can't see pictures of the man's man part growing on his left arm. It's for surgery. It's medicine. It's legal. How many of us? Who among us doesn't want to doesn't want a man part growing off our left arm, right?
Starting point is 00:49:45 I mean, it's a little embarrassing, really, to be honest, but why you got your left arm up? Are you just happy to see me? Yesterday we talked a little bit, if you listen to the podcast, if you're a podcast listener, you know, if you're listening live today, the 7th on the 6th of August the day before. We talked about the Blue Jays catcher Reese McGuire, who was busted in Florida, doing his thing in the car, parked in a parking lot there in Florida.
Starting point is 00:50:18 And they arrested him. And then they ended up, you know, he just paid the fine. And, you know, that was done. Well, last night, he, you know, the news broke the day before yesterday. And so last night was the first time that he played in a game. for the Blue Jays and he came up to bat. And while he was coming up to bat, the announcers, there was a video post
Starting point is 00:50:42 on Twitter of him walking up to the plate. And the announcers are talking about the pitcher and they're talking about while that's going on, the organist at the stadium in Tampa and Dunedwell, it's Dunedin, where the Blue Jays play. The organist is playing Beat It. The Michael Jackson song, Beat It.
Starting point is 00:51:05 That is awesome. Now that makes me think that we have not lost all of America. When the guy that got busted for beating it in a parking lot a couple of days before and has paid the fine and we've moved on with their life, we really haven't moved on, have we? No, there's still some jokes to be had at his expense. And hopefully he realizes that. because walking to the plate with the organist playing beat it is outstanding.
Starting point is 00:51:44 Outstanding. It makes me proud. Proud to be an American.
