I'll do a show. Let's welcome tonight's guest. He looks like the guy who high fives policemen. Fox News contributor Tom Shaloo. If they say laughter is the best medicine, I guess that makes him Dr. Kavorkian. Actor, writer, comedian Jamie Lissau. He's only here to make everyone else seem informed. Wow. Yeah. Comedian Sharad Small. She's so southern. She puts great. on her moonshine, host of the bottom line of box business taken McAwa. Before we get to some news stories, let's do this. Bregg's Leftovers.

It's leftovers where I read the jokes we didn't use this week, and as always, it's my first time reading them, so if they suck, we'll put Joe Mackey in a Caitlin Clark jersey and send him to a waffle house. Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy confirmed that President Trump wants to rename Penn Station to Trump Station. Not to be outdone. Bill Clinton wants to rename Arkansas Bonertown.

So stupid. In a recent interview, rocker Tommy Lee said he used to inject Jack Daniels into his veins when he ran out of heroin. Let this be a lesson to you, kids. Don't run out of heroin. The more you know. More you know. Two people in New York City were stabbed in broad daylight by a man yelling a la Akbar. Cops arrested him, but not before the mayor gave him the key to the city. Oh. You know, I look at this shirt and I keep thinking there should be a little dog pulling down my shorts.

Right? Like a little copper tone ad. Do you remember that? The State Department issued a worldwide caution alert for Americans, not because of the not because of the Iran War, but because of the lettuce at Taco Bell. During a hearing on the Iran War, lawmakers complained the war is unpopular, costly, and spiraling out of control, which didn't faze Pete Heggzeth. He'd heard the same criticisms when he worked at Fox and Friends. This week, Jasmine Crockett said,

it is a fact that there is a violent, exclusionary, sexist, racist part of American history. Then the theater usher told her to get off the phone since people are trying to watch a movie. Shut up, Greg. The Trump administration has announced that the reflecting pool will open soon, but only after it passes its first test, tossing Hillary into it to see if she floats. Wet t-shirt. President Trump just announced new tariffs on countries that use.

slave labor. On a related note, we've been forced to increase the price on the official Greg Gutfeld coffee mug and T-shirts. On Wednesday, Oprah Winfrey stunned fans by revealing that her legal birth name is actually Orpa.

Not to be outdone. This TV host reminded everyone that his legal name is not douchebag. Family name. A new report says AOC spent nearly $2,000 on hair and makeup in 2020. But before you complain, it was money well spent. Here she is before the hair and makeup.

And apparently, AOC is leading the Democrats among the 28 Democratic nominees with Mayor Pete in second place. But Pete's excited because it's the first time he's ever been behind a woman. Meanwhile, Kamala is only at 5% among Democratic nominees. The last time she went down on a poll this fast, it belonged to Willie Brown. A Japanese firm has created the world's first fridge for humans, which cools a person instantly. It's perfect for busy cannibals who can now prepare meals for the entire week. According to a new study, a single dose of cocaine in mice

changes the way their brain functions. It's true, they end up staying up all night, wondering why they're in one man's ass. And finally, a judge has ordered Seattle to crack down on people publicly. masturbating at a well-known nude beach. Still, the signs they put up send a mixed message.

According to the Washington Post, fat phobia is making a comeback, claiming that we're sliding back into the fat shaming culture of the early 2000s, which is an idiotic premise. Back then we had John Goodman, Jack Black, Rosie, Drew, Kerry, Al Roker. Hell, you couldn't throw a donut without hitting a fatty. And some would happily cast them with their mouths. There was nothing phobic about fat back then or now. In fact, the word phobic is BS.

No one is scared of fat people unless they're falling from a window. But rather than honestly confront an issue that might be a problem, whether it's trans, Islam, or obesity, the media turns their ire on the people who are legitimately concerned, calling them phobic, which puts the blame on them and not delicious cheese-filled pizza crust. The Post offers no data, just anecdotes from people saying that these jokes hurt their feelings, which is fine. But wanting you or your loved ones to be thin doesn't mean you hate fat people. It's evolutionary biology. If you want to find a mate and reproduce, you've got to be physically fit and healthy, like me. And not look like you'd crush your partner during sex.

Of course, people will say, Greg, your show is full of fat jokes. It's jokes about annoying stupid people who also are fat. Thank you. It means a lot. I mean, you think Pritzker's Ozempic journey makes him any less reprehensible? No, his stupid ideas means he's still a target, just a smaller one. But it's amazing that Post writes about fat jokes and never mentions this show. It's like writing about men crying and not referencing Kimmel.

And it's sad. our writers are heartbroken. We've all been to Walmart and seen a five-fat scooter pile up in the candy aisle. Ireland denied the U.S. permission to use the airspace above Rosie O'Donnell.

The public saw what they saw, their credibility would disappear like Stelter's feet after Thanksgiving dinner. No one made a bigger splash than Lizzo, seen here wearing the dress previously worn by Wrigley Field

during a rain delay. I mean, the competition isn't exactly Fierce the last time Chris Christie took his shirt off, Greenpeace tried to roll it back in the water. But still, even when naked, you can't see J.P. Pritzker's penis. New artificial intelligence is finally decoding the secret language of whales. The Wales's most common request, Greg, please stop comparing us to Joy Behar. So, how did the post miss all that? Well, they missed an even bigger story. Fat phobia isn't replacing the woke-inspired body positivity.

Ozempic is. Suddenly the movement that once said it's heroic to be as big as a GMC Yukon goes away once weight loss became easy. GLP1 drugs come along and those same people who said they're proud to be plumped, then flocked to them like a pastry truck around Chris Christie. So we spent four woke years being lectured that obesity was an identity to be embraced if we could only get our arms around it. Only to watch its own role models shed the flab the minute weight loss became low effort.

But don't you remember all those magazine covers? What a glorious time to lose your remote control and a belly roll. As the rest of us had to pretend it was physically appealing, even noble. Of course, Lizzo should grace the cover of this swimsuit issue. Who needs to see another hot, incredibly fit supermodel that I used to date?

But science just poked a gaping hole in the whole identity grift. Because if obesity was appealing, why are all the outspoken faties shrinking? The minute people were given an easier way to lose weight, they took it. That's the story the post missed while counting fat jokes on TikTok. That an entire cultural movement spent years telling us obesity wasn't the problem, then waddled off to the nearest clinic to end it. Turns out people prefer looking thin and would rather buy it. shirts from J. Crew rather than tents from camping world.
