Guests: Dr. Marla Murphy & David Lindsay

you you You Know when you see them cuz they're so real already know exactly how you feel You Well good morning to you. Sorry about that. I got a little bit of something going on with my, throw a little sinus allergy stuff going on. Welcome to Patrick and the People. If you are tuning in and watching us, you're probably like, hey man, where are your people at? Well they're on the way. Trust me we've got top people coming in today. Number one Dr. Marla will be here shortly. Super excited about my other guests coming in

a little bit later this morning. David Lindsay. You know David Lindsay from Cabot Mechanical, but he's also our extended long-range rifle shooter. He's the champion of North America, really. I think he shot a target just over two miles to get that, but today he's doing show-and- and tell. He's going to bring in his sniper rifles and tell us more about it, go through it. Man, they are amazing to see. So it's going to be a really interesting show, I can guarantee you that. Again, big shout out to, just want to thank everybody again who tuned in and streamed Archin Brawl, our big wrestling event that we had.

We streamed to all sources about 8,000 people. So pretty awesome to do that. It was really great. Let's get to some news and stuff that you can use lots to talk about today. Search and rescue efforts continue in the Potomac River after that Blackhawk and airplane collided last night. There's info now about who was aboard the plane. US figure skaters at a group of athletes and coaches were on the flight that crashed into the Potomac River

after colliding with the helicopter near Reagan National Airport. That helicopter I believe being flown by the police. An agency reports the Russian figure skaters and coaches, two of the passengers. The organization released a statement last night saying the group of young athletes, coaches, family members were returning from the National Development Camp being held in Wichita. They're devastated of course as you can imagine. I think I read so far they've pulled 19 bodies out and the weird thing about it if you've seen the video and who knows what happened I mean you know there's a lot of facts to come out yet, and I'm sure lots of people are already assessing the video, probably throwing

out conspiracy theories, but it is odd that the Blackhawk went straight into the plane. Now they don't suspect anything right now, but it just seemed odd. I don't know what happened there. I don't know how that happens. I mean, visually you've got to be able to see the airplane It's a jetliner in front of you So it's it's real weird If candy is the way to your loved ones heart M&M has your back. They just dropped white chocolate strawberries and cream It's a limited edition for Valentine's Day. So, you know if you need that get that

Interesting edition for Valentine's Day so you know if you need that get that. Interesting, Wendy Williams is fighting to get out of her conservative ship. She fired her lawyer. A source bills that Wendy fired the lawyer, the TV host court appointed personal attorney. The insider said the attorney was supposed to file paperwork to get the ball rolling for a trial to decide whether the guardianship is necessary, but never did. Williams said in an interview she's not able to get incoming calls and has no access to electronic devices aside from a non-smart phone at the assisted living facility she's been put in. Didn't we learn from Brittany? We freed Brittany. Have we been happy about that? I mean, you know all she's done

is put up nude pictures since she got freed. I mean, I don't know. Do we need to free Wendy? Maybe we need to think about this one a little bit more than we did Brittany. I don't know. There was always going to be people that called 911 for stupid reasons. In Wales, the Welsh Ambulance Service is trying to remind people to only call them in emergencies. They're highlighting some of the off-the-wall calls. About 15% of their calls last year were non-critical. Among them, someone got their finger stuck in a beer bottle and called 911. You couldn't figure that one

out, monkey? Someone's pet alligator got loose in a home. Yeah, that's, no, we're not coming for that. Good luck. You brought it in there. You deal with it." One person was unable to remove a tight bracelet. A caller said, I stuck my finger in a plug socket and I felt no effect, but I'm ruling out if I electrocuted myself. Really? And then another person called and said,

I've got a question, a general question, mate. My GP refuses to give me sleeping pills. How do I get a hold of sleeping pills to sleep? Wow. Maybe don't drink. Maybe don't drink. Let's see what else is going on here. The White House reversing an order.

Well, they reversed a memo. Freezing federal grants. President Trump ordered a pause on federal aid earlier this week. The memo itself led to some confusion. A judge put a temporary stay in place. That memo caused some chaos. It appeared to jeopardize programs that funded school, housing, and health care. That memo was rescinded. The press secretary said the executive order is in full force and will be implemented by all the agencies, but they did that to clear up any confusion about those programs. Let's see what else is going on here. An Oregon, in Oregon a 94 year old

woman is, man she's living life to the fullest I'll tell you that. Elizabeth Perez of El Paso, Texas decided to take a road trip and was busted for flying down I-84 at 106 miles an hour. Bonus, she had a kid in the car. She was fine for speeding, a kid not in a car seat and no insurance. Wow. This is funny. Travis Kelsey, exciting news I guess for him. He's now an award nominee. Yeah, a few weeks after facing the Eagles at the Super Bowl. What does that say?

A few weeks after facing the Eagles at the Super Bowl. Oh, he'll compete for favorite surprise guest at the iHeart Radio Music Awards. You see what these awards have come to now? They just throw anything in there to get somebody famous in and make news. So apparently his competition is Chapel Rowan, Cher and Selena Gomez. He acted shocked by it. Look, it's a crap award, man. You know this. It's trash. I wouldn't even accept that award. That's junk. What's the award for? Showing up at Taylor's concert? Really? Come on, man. That's not an award. That's some wildfire news. Wildfires have been national news due to the catastrophe in LA, but now North Carolina might be facing the same problem, believe it or not.

A wildfire called out of control by McDowell County Emergency erupted near the western North Carolina town of Old Fort yesterday. The Cricut Creek fire had burned 250 acres as of last night, only 15% contained. Evacuations have been ordered for the area as one of the hardest hit when Hurricane Helene hit in September. Meta announced yesterday it's going to write a large check to settle a lawsuit with President Trump. Four years ago, Trump filed a lawsuit against the company over their decision to suspend

his accounts after January 6. Metta spokesperson Andy Stone confirmed yesterday that $22 million will go to a fund for Trump's presidential library. The remaining $3 million will go to legal fund for Trump's presidential library. The remaining 3 million will go to legal fees and other plaintiffs. The settlement doesn't require Metta to admit any wrongdoing. Well, sounds like Zuckerberg's paying to play, right? You know, fattening it up a little bit there. Judge Sidney Stein sent its former Senator Bob Menendez to 11 years in prison yesterday.

He was taking bribes of gold and cash and acting as an agent of Egypt. While addressing the court before his sentence was pronounced, he said that he'd lost everything he cared about except his family. He said he was innocent and plans to appeal FBI agency searches house found 480 grand in cash and 150,000 in gold bars yeah come on man you're a senator what are you doing with that I mean you don't have that kind of money bro you know what that's from we're not stupid you know you didn't get that being a senator it's not the bonus you don't have a bonus plan.

It's ridiculous. You know, I heard Trump, I do agree with him on this for sure. He had proposed maybe people in Congress shouldn't be allowed to own stocks and bonds and things like that while they're in Congress. Maybe that's not a bad idea. You know, maybe they shouldn't. Maybe they shouldn't be able to invest in anything during that time. I don't know. OpenAI has a theory about how its Chinese rival DeepSeek seemed to come out of nowhere with its own AI chatbot that seemed to be

competing with ChatGPT for a fraction of the cost. The theory deep-seated. OpenAI said the Chinese company may have inappropriately taken data from ChatGPT to help get its product going. You don't say. You don't say that China steals intellectual property. Really? Shocking. Come on, man. With new administration settling into place, news has come out that senior Justice Department officials are talking about the case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The Mayor indicted on five counts of corruption in September, bribery, conspiracy, campaign, finance violation charges. He's pleaded not guilty to all charges, and now it's being said that those Justice Department officials have held discussions with prosecutors about possibly dropping charges.

The Justice Department has no comment on the report so far. After eight years apart, an Arizona man reunited with his long-lost dog, Paul Gilboats' dog, Damien, went missing in 2017 during a cross-country move from Massachusetts to Arizona. He got loose during a stop in Oklahoma. They stayed in Oklahoma for a week, posted about the missing dog for five years. Eventually, they just lost hope, or maybe fell prey to a mountain lion that they'd encountered during their initial search. But earlier this month driving to California with his husband to donate supplies to wildfire victims, he got a call from an unknown number. He got a text that your dog Damien's been found.

It was a woman in Oklahoma City that nearly hit the dog with her car, then took him to her brother who cared for him before taking him to a vet. A microchip confirmed that it belonged to him, who he immediately drove 14 hours to be reunited. Despite being older and scruffier, he recognized his owner and was real happy to see him. So eight years later, that's pretty damn wild man. And here's another good piece of news. Topeka mail carrier has recently been named the Western Region Hero of the Year by the National Association of Letter Carriers for his life-saving actions. Jerry Loney was delivering mail last year when a man

covered in blood approached him for help. He immediately provided aid following instructions from a 911 operator to apply a tourniquet to the man's wrist using part of his shirt to slow down the bleeding. He stayed with the man comforting him, praying till emergency responders arrived. The police later told the mail carrier they were grateful for his quick response, noting a lot of people would have just kept going. The NLC commended him. He, by the way, lives with PTSD from a past incident.

Each year, a panel of judges selects heroes from stories in the postal record, which recognizes mail carriers in a lot of different situations. A little bit of Hollywood news. Eddie Murphy coming back to the big screen. He's playing to his strengths in Blue Falcon. It's a spy comedy that has him playing a retired super spy attending his son's wedding, only to find a longtime rival in the area. No word on when production starts. This movie I think has a trailer out. SNL vets from two different eras are joining forces. The upcoming hitman comedy Rip Wrap, Bill Murray and Pete Davidson are gangsters looking to take care of a retired criminal who's vacationing in a remote cabin.

It also has Ed Harris, Jennifer Coolidge, Gabby Union, Louis Pullman, and a lot of other people. It hits theaters February 28th. And M. Night Shyamalan is back. He's teaming up with the notebook writer Nicholas Sparks and Jake Gyllenhaal. Gyllenhaal will star in Shyamalan's supernatural romantic thriller based on an original story co-created with Sparks. And then this is bad. A massive stroke suffered earlier this month landed former MTV VJ Matt Penfield in a conservatorship. He suffered a stroke January 6 after enduring a lot of health struggles.

His daughter filed to manage his health and financial decisions over concerns his girlfriend may withdraw his money. He was the face of MTV's alternative programming, serving as the host of the channel is 120 minutes after MTV worked at a record company as an executive and had a lot of gigs in Southern California radio. Boy, if you want a Super Bowl ad, it's not going to be cheap for you, I promise. If a company is going to advertise during the Super Bowl, you know they're going to have to bring some serious duckets. Yesterday, multiple reports said at least 10 commercials that air on Fox during Super Bowl 59 sold for $8 million a piece.

Fox announced that all ad time for the big game had been sold out for what was said to be record pricing. Historically, the price of a Super Bowl ad increases about $100,000 a year, but this year that increase was closer to half a million. Well, what isn't going up? Man, an Eagles fan, this is bad news. There's a reason they greased the street polls in Philly when there's a potential championship looming. 18 year old Temple's university student Tyler Savathy has passed away succumbing to injuries he suffered from what? Falling off a street pole

during a Sunday evening celebration after the Eagles beat the commanders. Video showed him falling off the pole, falling flat on his back. He was taken to a hospital with a brain injury and you know he was pronounced dead a couple days later. That's sad. A lot of baseball fans are crying foul when it comes to the spending spree of the Dodgers on this offseason. That crying as of now falling on deaf ears because the Dodgers aren't the problem. Just a symptom of the massive whole Major League Baseball is dug for itself when it comes to competitive imbalance and economic disparity. Even Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner has admitted that it's difficult to keep with the pace

the Dodgers are setting right now. This offseason they've spent over $450 million in guaranteed money. That pushes their 2025 luxury tax payroll to about $390 million. There are penalties for teams that go over the $241 million threshold. That means the Dodgers are going to pay a total of about $500 million. General Manager Brandon Gomez was asked directly, he said, if the money being spent is bad for baseball, he laughed it off and said, you know, he's tasked with making sure our team is as good as possible. If that's creating an ire someplace else, that's fine because I think that means our

fans are very happy, which is what the goal is. A spoiler alert, by the way. The current MLB bargaining agreement expires in December of this next year, 2026. Look for a big time work stoppage as baseball tries to figure out a way out of this mess it's in. And here's a good high school story. Well, not good, but interesting. A head coach of a big deal powerhouse high school football program in California hit with a serious accusation. Jason Negro has been the head coach at St. John Bosco High in Bellflower since 2010, played a major role in building the

Braves into one of the top programs in the country. Now there's a lawsuit filed by three plaintiffs accusing him of embezzlement. They say they were fired after reporting concerns over the way Finances were being conducted the suit alleges he only accepted cash as payment for st. John Bosco run youth camp here Provided by the team by Nike was sold for cash and the proceeds from parking game programs and raffles were paid in cash to him Also allegations of under-the-table cash payments to assistant coaches that were not reported for tax purposes. You gotta win at all costs, right? Hey Hall of Famer Reggie Miller is joining NBC Sports as its top color commentator when the NBA returns to the network later this year. He'll call all the games alongside play-by-play broadcasters

Mike Tirico and Noah Eagle, starting with the 2025-26 season. An NBA spokesperson declined to comment on that. And in August, the NBA announced a new 11-year, $77 billion media deal with ESPN and newcomers what does it say media deal with incumbent ESPN and newcomers NBC and Amazon Prime that goes into effect next season Miller if you don't know is inducted in Hall of Fame in 2012 the five-time All-Star shooting guard averaged about 18 points a game

with 18 seasons with the Pacers I'll'll tell you what, in his prime though, he was as good as it gets, man. He could drain a three from anywhere. I saw that dude score like 12 points in 9 seconds. Just an amazing player. Well according to this, it's beginning to become quite clear that Bronnie James is not ready for the NBA. The son of the NBA all-time leading scorer was called up from the G League at a Tuesday's game and he got to play 15 minutes which is the most by far he's played in his career, his 13th appearance.

So it was a struggle. He went 0-5 from the floor, committed 3 turnovers. James has made just 1 shot of 16 from the floor this season, which adds up to a 6.3 shooting percentage. It's unfair. I mean, it's not beneficial. He said, I'm really trying to be as respectful as possible towards LeBron, one of the top two or three players in the history of basketball. I'm pleading with LeBron as a father, stop this. We all know that Bronnie James is in the NBA because of his dad. He said he didn't have issues with that. He said LeBron earned that privilege. But he said he's not doing his son any favors. He said we know he's not ready yet. I'm saying it with compassion. I'm asking the greatest player in the game, one of the greatest we've ever or will ever see, who's a basketball survive. You know, you're exposing your son.

Now, I understand what he's saying and he is right in a way. But I will say this, Brawny has been doing quite well in the G League. I think he got off like 30 points the other night. When he gets comfortable, he is a good player. I don't know if he's an NBA player or not. He may not be. But when he does get comfortable, he's a great shooter and a great finisher. So he may still work into his NBA career. The NFL team that wins the Super Bowl at the end of the season is handed the Vince Lombardi

trophy. Now you may not know Lombardi was the head coach of the Green Bay Packers. He led his team to two straight victories over the AFL champions, the Chiefs and Raiders respectively, wasn't until the third NFL-AFL championship game that the term Super Bowl was even coined. But Lombardi's Packers, one of the most dominant teams of the era, led Green Bay to three other NFL championships before the idea of an NFL versus AFL was even conceived. So it's been named after him a long time however coach Bill Belichick was talking about the Super Bowl with Jim Gray and he said maybe they should name it the Brady trophy he said he won seven of them you know I mean maybe they could they could do that couldn't they all right let's move on to something else.

Oh hey, it's Dr. Marla. Finally. Come on in. Hi. How are you? Oh, I'm good. Yeah, how are you? I am, actually I'm in lots of pain today.

I'm still struggling. I don't care. I know you don't. I know you're still hot. You care less. You're still hot, aren't you? A little bit. A little bit.

She's still a little bit hot about it, you know. I don't want to talk about it. Yeah. Hey, did you have fun though at Ark and't you? Little bit. Little bit. She's still a little bit hot about it. I don't want to talk about it. Hey, did you have fun though at Ark and Brawl? I did. We didn't stay too long because we had somewhere else to be. I watched your fight though online. Did you? Yeah.

I think you were robbed. I was robbed. That is true. Man, I can show you the clip when it happened, but there was a part in the the match where I jumped off the ropes on on to Jimmy and He went into fell into the ropes and all of his weight came down right here on these two ribs I thought I broke them that day Honestly, are you bruised?

Well, they feel I'm not bruised really bad here externally, but it hurts so bad. Yeah. I mean just, like breathing hurts. You know what I mean? You might crack them. Or at least you bruised them. You could bruise my bones, you could probably muscle strain, but you did good. Well, you know I-

I feel really tall. Do what? Oh. I feel really tall. Here, hold on is that better yeah oh yeah yeah that's much better much better so what's been going on with you this week um working and working yeah yeah okay it's good your friend didn't call though no no? No. Well I'm sure they will. They're better.

They're better, yeah I know, I know. Let's talk about this. I think, you know, it's Thursday, day before Friday. It'll be fun to talk about. So, astronomy doesn't stop on Christmas Day. Researchers have made a discovery with the identification of a 196-foot asteroid hurdling towards Earth. Now, this rock is about 27 million miles away from the planet, but coming in pretty fast. A slim chance of striking the Earth in the near future. Soon after its discovery, it's called 2024 Wire 4, it went to the top of NASA's risk list. And so here's what they're saying about it. The object's half as wide as a football

field. It could reach the earth within the next eight years. Now according to NASA's research, the asteroid is projected to come within 66,000 miles of Earth. Now that sounds like a pretty long way away, but by Earth's standards, it's not very much. It's in the margin of error. Once it says that if the analysts put the probability of a direct hit on the Earth at 1 in 83, that's enough to earn it a rating of a 3 on the risk scale which measures the danger of asteroids. Now, odds have slightly increased to 1 in 83 is what the engineer in Asteroid Hunter said. This is one of the highest probabilities

of an impact from a significantly sized rock we've ever seen. People should absolutely not worry about it yet. The probability is still low, but so that's kind of crazy. That scares the hell out of me. Doesn't it? It says, he said what really matters is what it's made of. He said if it's made of iron it'll punch right through the atmosphere with little trouble and make an impact crater yeah that doesn't say impact crater doesn't sound good does it that and sink holes are my two sink holes yeah and asteroids yeah yeah never happened but still they might the sink holes are kind of that is kind of crazy when you see those just happen. Just terrifies me. Yeah you know and I guess there've been a

handful of people who have died there was a I remember a lady in a house the whole house went to sinkhole and they never got hurt. And every time something comes on the news my lovely husband sends me a clip of it. Hey look another sinkhole he's so great. Yeah he likes to stir the the bottle. Yeah. Yep. I understand that I freak out for the rest of the day. Yeah. Yeah It's so funny that different people, you know different things Bother them because you know, I never Almost never think about things like that. I just figure if it's gonna hit it's gonna hit So do you have do y you all have a bunker yet?

We have a garage that's the whole footprint of the house. Does that count? Yeah, maybe. But the door's open. So no. We were talking about all these ultra-rich bunkers that the rich people are getting out. I had a boss that had one. Really?

Yeah, it was crazy. He had an actual bunker? Yeah, it was underground. He had an actual bunker? Yeah, it was underground, and it was stockpiling toilet paper and food, you know, like quick mix foods. What all was it under there? Just anything you could need. I mean, did he have a bath? I guess he had a bathroom, right? Yeah.

So he just had everything in there. Yeah. How many people would it fit? It was pretty big. He had a massive house, and it was a pretty big, it was probably the whole footprint of the house too. Yeah, so it was sub obviously. Yeah, maybe like you didn't go down like stairs like but you did walk down you know he wasn't like in deep deep deep deep deep deep deep. I get what you're saying. But it was um he was so weird but um yeah and it's right off like in Fountain Lake. Really? Yeah. I wonder

how many people have some kind of bunker. I've wondered that too. You know I wonder. You know I know that around here a lot of people or you know there are a number of preppers but that doesn't necessarily mean you have a bunker but you want a bunker if you're a prepper don't you? I mean isn't that the ultimate goal if you have a bunker, but you want a bunker if you're a prepper, don't you? I mean, isn't that the ultimate goal? If you're a prepper to have a bunker, I would think so. And this was like 2010, it was well before the pandemic and toilet paper stuff, but he was, I mean, he, we, I was, we were just blown away being Jason and our youngest one. Because you know that's so expensive to do. Yeah, I mean, that's an outrageous amount of money. Yeah and their house is like 5,000 square feet. Yeah, but yeah, it's crazy. I wonder if you know when you go to sell a home

like that I guess it's a unique property so you can't necessarily value the bunker but there's a value. Oh sure yeah. I mean it was a great house. It was really cool. Yeah. But it's kind of like Arkansas location so there's this massive house and then across the street yeah a trailer now that's fine yeah very sling county that's how I grew up house trailer house trailer empty lot burned down trailer house really nice house you know yeah it is weird too sometimes like if you go out like Sardis area way out there or Congo Burndale and you'll see some homes that are you know two million dollar houses and then a block away you got a trailer with a car

on blocks and it's amusing to see. When I lived out there and I would go down like Lawson Road to Little Rock and they'd be big massive pretty ones and then yeah dumpy trailer with a pig in the front yard nice house. I just really wanted the pig. Yeah that's funny that's funny that's funny. Alright let's see what else we got going on here. Now let me ask you this as a physical therapist and you know somebody who helps people to you know overcome different situations that you know often involve pain, are you an advocate of medical marijuana? Yep. You are? Okay, okay. You've seen good benefits from it in general. I haven't. I would much rather they do that instead of come in oxy, hydros, which they do.

Yeah. Drive up in there. I talked to someone yesterday who said that, you know, they've had a pretty significant injury, you know, but said that they had, since they had that injury and it had been maybe a couple years or so that they were taking hydros every day but now also take oxy every day and I was like man that sounds like a lot. They are not pooping I can guarantee you that. Is that what that does? Oh yeah because it's like it'll slow down all your motility of everything. Oh

really? Yeah. Okay. It's like after surgeries and people can't go to the bathrooms with all the pain meds. I did not know that. That is okay. Well, uh, this... Yeah, pot is much better. Well, it says think cannabis effects wear off once you decide to quit for good. Think again. New research suggests that heavy marijuana use, and I don't know how they define that. My son. No. Could impact your brain's memory function long after your last use. The finding comes from one of the largest studies ever conducted on how cannabis affects

brain function. Against a backdrop of course, you know, the growth of the cannabis industry, they put this together and let's see, let's get to what it says. As the research team looked at brain scans from 1,003 young adults from 22 to 36, found that people who had used cannabis heavily throughout their lives showed less brain activity during memory tasks compared with those who rarely or never did. The difference most

noticeable in the brain regions that help you pay attention, make decisions, and temporarily store information. So what do you think? Do you think, what do you think about that? I agree. You agree with that? Yeah, no, it's hard to disagree with that. I mean, everybody I know, I mean, every joke about weed is always losing your memory, forgetting stuff, things like that. But I still think to your point, while you know, ultimately, it'd be great if we never did anything wrong and only put the best things in our body. I mean, you know, ask your husband. He's the only one I know that does.

But most of us do not succeed at that, you know. And I think to your point, I would much rather, you know, see someone mitigate their pain with weed than I would pharmaceuticals. Yeah, chemicals. I just think they're much harsher on the pharmaceuticals. Well, and the receptors that they bind to help with many other things.

A lot of anxiety is way better treated with weed than any type of presence. Well, I know that's right. I know that's right. Yeah, it's got that fook it all in it. Now, man, I mean, I remember I didn't even try it until I was about 17. And I was way behind.

But it was because, this is this is where parents set set you up they mess up when they think they're doing the right thing you know but my mom had told me from the time probably I was in I don't know fourth fifth grade it don't mess with with marijuana you might see dragons stuff like that and so I was scared to death that that's what would happen I'd smoke it starts seeing dragons shit. That didn't sound like a good, you know, it didn't sound fun to me. To me, I think that sounds kind of cool.

Well, it would be now, but in that lens of, you know, fourth, fifth grade, it did a little terrifying. So I, I remember as a matter of fact, I used to walk to Safeway at the time. Then it became Harvest Foods, but it was a few blocks away and I'd walk through this creek area in a little woods that went from by miles to the store. And there was a guy out there smoking weed. And when I smelled it, I just started running.

I was just so scared, I just started running. But anyway, fast forward to about the time I was 17 and my buddy Matt he said and you smoked this joint I'm like bro listen I'm not trying to see crazy hallucinate and whatnot and he goes are you on acid I'm like what he goes and this is weed bro it didn't do that I was like really he goes no I swear and so then I had to try everything to see if my mom was right about it, you know? And to go through all of it.

No dragons? No dragons, no. No, as a matter of fact, I've tried a multitude of things and I've not ever seen any dragons at any point. I wish that I would see dragons. Now I'm mad about that. Yeah, it is. Now I'm not mad at this.

You see, two times in a way that she fibbed to me, I'm mad that I haven't seen me. I'm mad that I haven't seen dragons and I'm mad that I got scared to try it before then. Well, it's probably good for me. Probably. Maybe you have an addictive personality. It might have been, starting that early might have been too much. Well, I can't imagine that I could have an addictive personality. I mean, my mom only put me on uncut Colombian Ritalin at about nine. You know, how could I ever have? How could I ever have? Well, it was just Ritalin, you know. As a matter of fact, they put me on so

much Ritalin, and I don't even think you can legally do this anymore, but they gave me something called Melarell with it. And Melarell was... Helps you mellow? It takes the edge off. So they were giving me so much speed that they needed to take the edge off. I was speed balling Yeah, you know from time I was 15 that's what they were told to do. Well, yeah, absolutely. Well, they tried to beat it out of me that didn't work No, I just you know, I I'm incorrigible to be honest when it comes to running my mouth It's you know, I'll die running my mouth

And look where it's got you. Well nowhere, huh? All right. Let's talk. This is crazy. This story is wild First of all, you know you can argue about Whatever you think about the administration, but I do love the idea And I've said it before that since I was a kid There's been a running joke about the Department of Defense paying $100 for a hammer, which I'm sure it's much more now.

We've always, as a government, just wasted tons of money. We know this. We just don't know where all the time. And so the idea that this Department of Government efficiency is going to go through and get some of this stuff out. Pretty exciting to me. And this is exactly why. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's decision

to freeze foreign aid over the weekend included millions of dollars worth of US funding for, you ready? Condoms for Gaza. That's right, that's right. The revelation came as officials explained that a separate memo from the Office of Management and Budget would pause the grant for this stuff. They're literally sending, it says the OMB found that there was about to be 50

million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza. Now what the hell are we doing sending 50 million dollars in condoms anywhere? First of all, send them to your own people. You know, maybe send them here if you're going to send them, but do we really need to be funding condoms around the world? I don't think that's true. I think that's been fact-checked and it's not right. You think this is not right? Right. Why do you think that? Because I heard of it yesterday being debunked. Where was it? Tell me what they said. How did they debunk it? There's no way you could send that many like dollars worth of condom that's more than condoms for people in the whole world. And it was from the WHO. There's a lot of crap

coming out. I can't talk politics but I think no keep them in your home. I will lose some further research because if it isn't true, if it is debunked, I want to know but I still think if we are sending any condoms anywhere for any amount it's still insane to me. You know but I would like to see more and so I will follow up on this and see because I think it's a funny story I think it's interesting No For bombs you could use them for that Where was it they did they?

There was somewhere that they they quit sending condoms because they were using them that way for bombs to make But I don't remember Mommy can make us feel it full of water and make water bombs I'm just like I don't know I don't know I don't know all right did you did you see the thing with bill burr all right so bill burr you said right yeah bill burr the comedian bill burr all right so I was talking about it a couple days ago. We watched it. I don't remember. I think Laura turned me on to it.

Because I'd heard for years there were rumors, and people would put up pictures side by side of Bill Burr and Billy Corrigan and say, oh, they must be related. You know, it's a running joke. And I'd heard kind of Bill Burr blow that off at a point before so when Laura came to me and said hey have you heard that that Bill Burr and Billy Gorgon are related? I was like I mean I've heard that rumor but they've kind of dispelled it a few times. She said really? She kind of did you know the

thing and I said well that's that's just what he said and she said well watch this and so Bill Burr goes on Howie Mandel's show and apparently he has a podcast and he's a weird dude by the way Howie he's a weird dude but anyway he has him has Bill Burr on the podcast and probably about halfway through he surprises him and brings out Billy Corrigan. Now Billy Corrigan knew it was gonna happen but Billy Corrigan said that how he told him it was cool and so he brings out Billy Corrigan and then proceeds to ask them about being brothers. Now I was expecting them to blow this off but in fact it was true. It's true that

they have the same dad. Apparently he was a traveling musician and a whore. Really? Yeah. Wow. Yeah so as you can imagine it was a really awkward and uncomfortable place for Bill Burda to be right? I mean he was pissed off. They were visibly both pissed about it and so here's the fallout he ain't happy he appeared on Howie Mandel does stuff that's the name of the podcast he doubled down on his disappointment of being blindsided when Mandela ambushed his interview by bringing out smashing pumpkins front man Billy Corrigan revealed he was you know Burr's half-brother talking Talking about the unsolicited therapy session, he said how he did what he did

because he's a Hollywood whore and he doesn't care what happens. He said he just brings up all that weirdness. When Rich Eisen asked Burr if he was pissed, Burr said you know he tries to avoid speaking publicly about personal aspects and he didn't appreciate it at all. He said look Billy's fine. That's the first time I ever met him. It was like fine or whatever but I didn't appreciate what Howie did. Not at all. Now he's not saying he's never gonna talk to Howie again or anything but I thought that was pretty wild. Corgan had previously

claimed that his stepmom had told him you know who Bill Burr is. Bill Burr might be one of the children your father cited in his days as a traveling musician. So and they're both named Bill. Yeah that's wild too you know that that is one of the things that is kind of funny when they were talking about is named them both Billy and Bill. that's I get Bill Burr side because that that would that's too personal yeah no I mean it's that's not well it's look I get that it you know it
