Welcome to the program. The 10-day ceasefire that's been negotiated by POTUS between Israel and Lebanon. Now, for the background on it, if, you know, just to do it, if you're unfamiliar with it, Lebanon, it's not Lebanon that's actually firing at Israel, the rockets at Israel. It's Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. And as you know, Hezbollah is a proxy terror group for Iran. They are entirely funded by Iran. And so they have been, you've had Hezbollah to the north of Israel in southern Lebanon,

and then you've had Hamas in the southern part in Gaza. And so when the strikes first, when the first strike fell against Iran, that's when Hezbollah started firing rockets at Israel, which was weird, right? Why would they do that? Oh, but they were doing it on behalf of their patron, Iran. Even though Iran was always like, no, no, no, they're totally separate. We don't. Not our circus, not our monkeys.

I mean, it's just totally not us. But it was because they fund them entirely. They send them munitions, equipment, everything. So when that happened, Iran decided that they were going to use that as leverage and to protect their proxy group. So in the very beginning, and I wrote a whole post about this, we talked about this last week. In the very beginning, when Trump came out and posted on truth social, he said he was talking about, you know, hostilities, going after the civilization, all that. And he specifically mentioned Iran, only Iran. He mentioned them twice, only them. Then it was Pakistan's leader who decided to screw everything up.

And don't forget that their defense minister who initially was pushing this idea had to scrub his timeline. but not before everybody caught it. He was going off on Israel. He was going off in the United States, even being nice to Israel, who's going off on some of these other Gulf allies for the Abraham Accords, all of that. And so he was scrubbing his timeline.

So the Pakistani government came out and said, no, no, no, yes, we've had this amazing ceasefire, and it includes Lebanon. No one in the United States included Lebanon. Pakistan just frittered that out of the ether. as a favor to Iran because Iran wanted to protect their terror proxy. And then we have all these mouth breathers in the United States, these woke Rikers and these other lefty barely passing as a coalition member's lefties who are like, well, Pakistan said that

Lebanon was included. Now, these are the America First people who will tell you America First, but then they allow Pakistan to dictate foreign policy for us, whatever. Pakistan said that Lebanon was included. Trump was incredibly clear. They ain't. Even Vance said they ain't. Leavitt went out and said, they ain't.

They're not a part of this. Never have been. Then Lebanon hit back of Pakistan and said Pakistan does not negotiate for Lebanon. Lebanon negotiates for Lebanon. That was their literal prime minister. So fast forward to now. There's a broker deal now between Israel. Israel and Lebanon. Hezbollah has to abide by it, though. Because again, this is not Lebanon. It's

Hezbollah, but Lebanon is signaling they're going to do something about this. POTUS had put out, quote, that he had an excellent conversation with the highly respected president, Joseph Aoun, of Lebanon. Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu of Israel, they've agreed. In order to achieve peace, they're going to begin to attend a ceasefire. They're going to meet for the first time in 34 years in D.C. with Marco Rubio. etc. So great. So that puts, that kind of pushes the, I guess the deadline to have a larger agreement out to what, the end of April? I assume. Because the current, I mean, right now it's not even really a ceasefire in the, between the United States and Iran. And from what I understand, that expires in, uh, what, seven days? So if, I mean, it seems like,

like Hezbollah is just going to sit there for a few days and then go back to what they're doing. That's the big thing. How do you even, how do you get Iran's terror proxy in Lebanon to agree with it? Now, I love how they have this phrase, Hezbollah lawmaker, Hassan Fadala, said that we were informed by Iran's ambassador in Beirut that a one-week ceasefire could begin this evening. So Netanyahu called for an emergency meeting to discuss the whole deal. Some of their cabinet officials said they were blindsided by it. Apparently, it happened very, very quickly, and apparently it was because Trump's strong on them into it.

Into making a very public statement. Some are accusing him of jumping the gun. I don't think that that's necessarily the case. And I think that the cabinet members who weren't privy just need to suck up and suck it up and just roll with it. But what I don't understand is how Lebanon is going to have Hezbollah. How are they going to get Hezbollah to follow this? It's not like Lebanon's government was doing this. It was Hezbollah.

So what's the answer to that? That's what is not made clear. And I'm hoping, you know, maybe later in a press avail that is. But, I mean, I don't have the answer to that. I mean, what do you, right? I mean, how do they get? Because Hezbollah is a separate thing from Lebanon. It's not part of Lebanon's government.

Right. I think that they've lost a lot of support because of the way that Trump has destroyed Iran. So now I don't think Hezbollah has the backing that they used to. No, definitely not. I think this 10-day ceasefire was something that, Hasiblea, probably welcomed because they've got a lot of regrouping to do. And they're getting from what I understand from, so open source intel was saying that they're getting fewer and fewer resupplies from Iran because Iran's, they're being totally depleted. And they can't get there. And remember, there are other alternative route of getting anything.

And this is where it gets really weird, was through Syria. And remember, Syria shut their airspace to Iran. and they stopped being a transit for Iran. I don't like a lot of stuff with the Syrian leadership because the guy literally came from Taliban. However, in this specific moment, this is where you have to put emotions and sentiment aside, geopolitical issues require robotic-like Vulcan logic

that is completely absent of any kind of feeling, sentimentality, and even loyalty. This is being used just for this purpose. So there are other transit of resupport. supply is closed. And remember back when POTUS was over speaking with all those Arab nations and he got up when we were saying, excuse me, Syria can be open for development. He was, they got, he got a standing ovation for that, which is huge. You had the crown prince of Saudi Arabia get up and give him a standing ovation for that. And so I, it's still, they're diminished

but not to the point where they are harmless. So I think as this goes forward, we'll get maybe perhaps some more detail on that. But now there are some. Now this piece, I'm looking at Axios, believe it or not, has a piece where they're discussing some within the remnants of the regime are tired of this and they want to go to the negotiating. table. So our plan of wearing them down, they thought they were going to wear us down. It didn't

happen. We're wearing them down and the cracks are already forming in the remnants of the regime. So Axios was even saying, yeah, there are some that are pushing them towards sitting down at the table and having a discussion. They want to get back to the table. They're desperate. and the situation is getting more desperate by the day because of that blockade. I just, can I just for a moment, I'm, I don't want to tempt the Lord by engaging in too much schadenfreude, but I really hope some people choke on Crow. I really do. Because now you see it.

Now you see it. We run every choke point that China depends on number one, Venezuela. Panama, well, the Venezuelan oil, but the Panama Canal, and now this, every choke point that China needed, we run now. Remember that episode of South Park where Stan Marsh had to drag his beans in a wheelbarrel? It's where we're at right now. I'm trying real hard, Kane, not to be that way. I think Sinan Wittkoff and Kush, that was just a fool's errand, but it was designed for a purpose. Buying time for the Saudis to open that East-West pipeline.

So you bypass the straight, you blockade Iran, You allow the remaining ships to go through, make the transit. You push out China. China's freaking out. They're going to have to come to us with hat and hand to beg for oil. I'm all right with that. This is pretty good. So guys, we're in a good spot right now.

You know who isn't in a good spot right now is Democrats in Virginia. So I don't know if you heard this story. This is an insane story. This happened overnight. Actually, it was about midnight. Former Democrat Virginia lieutenant governor, Justin Fairfax, shot and killed his wife before he took his own life, according to Fairfax County Police. Why?

He was enraged over the divorce proceedings. And they look, honestly, it looks like they were kind of living the American dream, if I'm being honest. Like they had a real nice house. They had their happy little kids, a little storybook kind of life. But he was upset. So he murdered his estranged wife, killed himself in their million-dollar-plus home. This is what really gets me. They're 16-year-old and 14-year-old.

Their son and daughter, respectively, were at home. They were unharmed. They're being tended to by relatives. From what I understand, it was a 16-year-old son that called 911, and there's audio of it. I don't want to play it on the show because it is hard. I didn't listen to all of it, but it is really heart-wrenching. I mean, you're hearing a son's heartbreak. That child is going to be permanently scarred.

God love him. Pray for those kids. I don't care about their dad. Pray for those kids. And he had been recently served paperwork indicating when he was next to to appear in court, and apparently that was the spark. They were living together despite the fact that they were separated. And they had already had officers visit the home in January

because he claimed that his wife assaulted him. They found no evidence to support that, so they left. Just heartbreaking. They had a dental practice. They were successful, like all American family, even though he was a Democrat. Here's the thing. He was a giant gun control supporter. In 2020, he was the deciding vote that passed red flag laws in Virginia. As the lieutenant governor, he came in and passed red flag law.

He was a huge supporter of quote unquote universal background checks. He was advocating for outright confiscation because he believed that all semi-automatics ought to be classified as quote-unquote assault weapons. All of the gun control laws that, and he was Bloomberg supported, he could. got a ton of money from gun control groups. He was endorsed by Mom's Demand. So this is the second time in a week that Mom's Demand have really stepped in it. They were real cozy with Eric Swalwell, and they were real closey with Fairfax here. Now you got Swalwell and the trouble. Of course, all predators support gun control. Let's look at the facts here. Texas-born and base company formed out of the UT Health Science Center. It is the company Human and their Super Beach.

You guys know we've been talking about them forever. Well, just to answer your questions really quickly, they have a new zero sugar product. It's the heart chews zero sugar. Now, they didn't add a ton of sugar to it before we're talking about the natural fruit sugar. This is pomegranate berry flavor and chocolate flavor. It tastes like a titsy roll. But you're helping, you're working with a company that's likeminded. It's actually based in science. And it's actually based in outside of Austin, not in Austin, but outside of Austin. But it's a great product. No added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no stimulants, no caffeine. And a lot of people say that it's the best tasting heart chew yet. I'm partial to the the pomegranate berry, the chocolate flavor. If you like chocolate, you'll love it. So support your heart health with the new superbeats, heart choose, zero sugar.

Bring some of it here. Bring some of the sunshine here. Take back your dumb rain. Done with it. I don't care. Everyone's like, Dana, April showers, spring, Mayflower. I don't care about flowers. I'm tired of the rain. I'm tired of Daisy going outside and being like, oh, there's mud? I just had a bath.

Let me get in it. Sounds great. But they said that there's going to be some higher temperatures. Wednesday afternoon, literally they're looking like, is it going to be that hot out there, Steve? For real, this is New York filling D.C. Is it going to be 90s for you? Stop it.

Give it back. That's Texas's weather. Dave Chappelle, you know he's actually considering doing, he's like apparently considering restarting his show. True. He said the Republican Party weaponized transgender jokes and he goes, that's not what I was doing. Oh my gosh. Just bitch more.

Okay. Just, you know, shut up. Cash your check. Live your life. Stop it. Smoking is cool again. And apparently they're blaming Hollywood. It's just FYI. People in Europe never stop smoking.

But apparently, they're smoking more and more in movies and that now. I mean, the vapes look more carcinogenic than a cigarette. Although cigarettes smell like stink. They're nasty. It smells so nasty. Why can't people just roll tobacco like the good old days? Why do you have to have all the stuff in it, right? Just roll tobacco.

I mean, if you're going to do it, do that. At least make this smell pleasant for everybody. And scientists develop a drug that can extend dogs' lifespan by a year. Is that a guarantee? Stick with us. The folks at chapter, they want to make everything with Medicare less confusing because it is ridiculous. Like hearing, you know, my folks talk about it, basically you have to go to the government website or some rando insurance agent and then surprise, your plan doesn't at all cover what you actually need. Medicare is purposefully confusing. And that confusion is exactly how people end up in the wrong plan and they're undercovered,

but over pain. So you need to find. find somebody truly on your side. That's what Chapter does. They exist to cut through all of the confusion. They're not going to sell you on a couple of companies. They're going to, they're the only advisor out there that's comparing every Medicare plan across the nation to find out what actually fits your doctors and prescriptions and budget. They're an honest translator for this. They explain all of your options in plain English. They help you avoid plans that are great for insurance company profits, but horrible for you. And people who work with Chapter save about $1,100 a year on health care costs just because they got on the right plan. It is free and fast to talk to

chapter and end in under 20 minutes, they can review your current coverage or walk you through your choices if you're about to enroll. So whether you're already on Medicare or getting close, they'll answer any question you have, explain the enrollment and help you feel confident instead of overwhelmed. This is the route you should take. If you're on Medicare or considering it or rather getting there, take control of your Medicare and dial pound 250 on your phone. Say the words, my Medicare. Pound 250. Say the words, my Medicare and get your options reviewed by chapter today. Did you know that Scott Bessent lives in a pink house?

Oh, that is that really good? From all the reports that I've seen, he lives in a historic, prominent pink stucco mansion in Charleston, South Carolina, known as the John Ravenel House. Sold in 25 for 18.1⁄4 mill. The house is pink as the day is long. How do I describe this house?

For those of you who are not watching the simulcast, what color of pink is that? That's like an Easter pink. It's almost... It's not flamingo pink. No, it's like a lighter pink than pepto. I mean, when I say the house is pink, the whole damn house is pink. There's three floors. The wall is pink.

Oh, I'm showing it to you now. If you're watching the simulcast, you're seeing it. That thing is this pink. I don't know. Is a hello kitty pink? Is that a good way to describe it? Pink. Now, I say this because, you know, he's a gay dude in the administration.

If you're a gay dude in the vein of who is the guy on the fashion show, the real snotty guy, the Heidi Kloom fashion show, I don't watch any of the reality. I hate reality TV. Despite the fact of what a clout chasing pervert tried to sell on me during the Parkland days, your girl never pitched a godforsaken reality show. And that dude was a pervert, by the way. Major perv, sliding into my DMs. And I'm like, no means, no, dude. I'm not kidding you.

Like, he was really weird. It was a total Weinstein thing. And I think he got mad because they turned him down. Anyway, so the pink house, this is Scott Besson's house. This is the house that I would expect a gay member of the administration to live in. It borders on tacky. But that's like the. color for that area. You know what I mean?

If you've, Charleston's a beautiful town, if you've never been. But I think that that's in keeping with the aesthetic of the neighborhood. Now, the reason I bring all of this up, here we are. So man lives in a pink house, right? And apparently

he just frequently beats the hell out of people, beats a hell out of them. In the executive wing, people that make you mad, people that he doesn't like. I am not making this up. There's a story that is out about Scott Besson. The rumors and chatter with the media are swirling that he got into a physical fist fight with Kevin Hassett two days ago

over economic policy disagreements. I don't know. That's just what I know. He even really heard anything else about it. This is the first time that he had, or not the first, first time that this has happened. He seems pretty, for a gay dude, he seems pretty fighting, right? Didn't he punch one of the, didn't he punch one of the other dudes in the administration? He was asked about it on CNBC, I think.

He like hit somebody else. Didn't he hit Musk too? Like Elon Musk got mad at him. They were having, they're kind of on the same page, but they had a disagreement. and Musk reportedly exploded. This is according to Daily Mail. And then he tried shoving Scott Besson and Besson hit him or something to that effect.

So this would be the third dude that Scott Besson hit in the executive wing. He just randomly lives in his peak house, randomly just beats people up in the executive wing. This might be my favorite story today. I feel like you need a break as we start the show already. I feel like you need a break. he just he just beats a hell out of people it's hysterical so we have this very as was observed on x a very snarky gay treasury secretary who lives in an unapologetically pink house in charleston who has made a habit now of beating the hell out of people that he doesn't like in the executive wing came yeah i like them i do too

Yeah, I kind of like him. I mean, when someone gets sassy with him, he hits him. And I realized, so this is what's weird. Like our society is telling us, but he's gay. He's a floof and he lives in a pink house, right? I don't know. I'm just saying it's just kind of funny. So I had to put that out there because that was one of the, that was circling all day yesterday.

And his people haven't denied it. And you know what that means, Kane? That's true. It's a true story. And tonight it's a true story. I'm just saying. So he was talking about Iran, Iran, whatever. I say it both ways because I just don't care.

I'll call them whatever I want to. That country over there with the gay one-legged Ayatollah who's half dead. The blockades, there's no other block. Iran can't get anything. Other ships are allowed to go through. The economy is on life support. the IRGCs hit right where they live. I don't know how Iran gets out of this at this point.

How do they get out of this at this point? There is no way. And that's what Scott Besson was talking about. He was hinting that they're going to drop yet another shoe on them. I think people underestimate how many cards that Trump has to play. He's physically made of cards right now. He's actually, did you really just put gloves on Scott Besson? You guys can't see this on the simulcast.

Juan's over here putting boxing gloves on Scott Besson. This little pink house, little pink houses for you and me. And then you get hit by Scott Besson. So Besson is also smacking the Iran regime. He's saying, no, no, no, we haven't even started maximum pressure. Wait, if you haven't even started that, what does it even look like? So he says, no, no, no, here's what we're doing. They're working with the Gulf allies, and they are opening up.

Iranian regime bank accounts to the Treasury, they're freezing all their assets. That's what they're doing. Freezing all of their assets. This is pretty stunning. And I mean, they have their, this is, because this is going to just expedite the strangling of them economically. He says they pushed out to them the request that they're freezing the funds of all of the leadership of the IRGC. Any members of Iranian leadership, I'm reading his quote.

quote. They're also telling companies that if you're buying Iranian oil, that money that's sitting in your bank accounts, now you get secondary sanctions on that. Oh, wow. He just, he just destroyed them. That's pretty epic. All right, so let's be honest here. Shaving is not self-care. It's just something you've got to get done.

right now in Florida. This is all crazy. So first up, we got this lady a Florida woman, Cammy Ellis, charged with the DUI after she got pulled over, driving the wrong way. And instead of handing the police, her license cane, she don't handed them a Barnes & Noble gift card. Aw. How's her name on it?

She was so drunk. She was driving the wrong way down the road. And then when they pulled her over, she handed them a Barnes and Noble gift card. 52-year-old Ellis was pulled over in Tampa, Hillsborough County. The officer, I love this sentence. The officer noticed her vehicle traveling the wrong way and jumping a curb.

So the officer goes, are you feeling okay? And the body camera footage. And she's like, yeah, I'm good. And he's like, you don't know how to shut your car off? And then she really struggles. And then he goes, can you hand me your license? And then she handed her a credit card. And he goes, well, this is your credit card.

And then she's like, oh, wait a minute. And she handed him another card. And that was her Barnes & Noble card. And he's like, ma'am. And then he got her. They had a handcuffer. She had a blood alcohol content of 0.209. You don't say.

Yeah. Oh, more car stuff. A Florida man claims that he forced his girlfriend in the trunk because she said she'd rather be there than with him. Oh. Oh, well now. Dade County, 24-year-old man was arrested Wednesday morning because deputies at the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office

said he forced his lady into the trunk of her car during a domestic dispute and then drove with her inside of it. He later struck her. Travis Tr. Oh, gosh, these names. Travis Tillman. You can't have two consonants like that. And the victim, they were in a relationship.

They previously lived together. Clearly, it was a rocky patch. And he grabbed her and shoved her in the trunk. But he told police, no, no, no. She told me that she would rather be in the trunk and not in my vicinity. So he obliged and put her in the trunk. That didn't work with the police. So they charged him on a couple of things.

Aggravated assault with a firearm, improper exhibition of a firearm, resisting an officer without violence, like detainment, all of that stuff. I mean, I'm not going to read all these charges. He got a lot. In one fell swoop. He had a lot of them. Let's see. We also, oh, oh, Florida man fell asleep and lost control of his tractor trailer that overturned on I-75. That's bad.

This Florida man used magnets to steal diesel. Yeah. In fact, several arrests have been. made. It's an organized diesel fuel theft scheme that apparently spans multiple counties. There are a number of guys that are involved in this, but the pop-up ads on this Godforsaken website make it almost impossible to read their names. Do better, WeRTV. Your website is literal feces. In Pensacola, they had a number of these defendants, but they're all facing felony charges, but they were using magnets on fuel pumps overriding their components that control the fuel to

allow, you know, to come out freely. And they bypass the payment system that way. It's not all sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes you have to embrace the suck. When there's a lot of market volatility, you have to embrace the suck. If you have a high-quality portfolio with high-quality companies, you should be fine. No need to worry. Check out the Watchdog on Wall Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcast.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. situation in Westlake yesterday. Police and the family of a 91-year-old woman unable to get a hold of her, but officers never could have imagined what they were about to find when they went to check things out. Or Scott Null explains. Westlake Police at the home of a 91-year-old woman Thursday night. 7-83 garage doors open. We're going to make entry. Police, her family, all unable to get a hold of the homeowner. Vehicles in the garage. The woman, a part of the Are You Okay program? This time another woman not answering the call. Everyone's a little bit alarmed that she was missing these these contacts. What would police find this time?

What's like police? To protect the woman's identity, police didn't release any more of that video, but what happens next? No one would have guessed. Turned out to be all okay. Everyone got a good laugh out of it. Police found her all right in her room. We'll let the officers call to dispatch explain the rest. We're here with her now. She's playing video games in her Police say not just playing video games, but trying to beat her record level, officers say. In the process, missing those attempts to check in on her. But we're told, thankful police came out. In Westlake, I'm News 5 Investigators.

This is the most amazing story. That's going to be me when I'm 91 years old. My kids are going to have to do a welfare check because I'm going to be trying to beat my record. That's practically you now. What do you mean you at 90? Okay. Hold up a little bit. I got some hobbies.

I'm not like a professional gamer. I'm a casual gamer. There's certain things that I will play. And I got started very young with Nintendo and Duck Hunt and Super Meyer brothers. I think you're just above the average player. Graduated to Mortal Kombat, Doom. I was playing Mortal Kombat legit right up until I had my first baby. My husband's like, we've got to go get induced now.

I'm like, oh, I hold up, you know. My kids, I used to beat levels for them. And so now, you know, then graduated a call of Duke. Duty, dark tide, you know, anything in the Warhammer universe, Space Marine, Hell Divers, which is my absolute jam right now. I love Hell Divers. I think I'm a level 61, 62 on Hell Divers. You don't even know what that is.

Yeah. I don't play those games. I play more, you know, sporty type games, you know, digitally. I wish I could join you on this Hell Divers stuff. You won't jam up, man. You're already at level 61 and you want me to squat up and I'm not even level one. It wouldn't work out. Yeah, but you could.

You could make it happen. You could make it happen. I mean, I'm just saying, you know, that could make it happen. So I just, it's a lot of fun and it's, you know, it's hand-eye coordination. And it's a great way to, like if your family lives in different parts of the country, there are different parts of the state and not at you, you literally can squat up and couch co-op. I just think that I kind of laugh because I literally created my own squad. I gave birth to my own actual squad.

I don't think there's anything more hardcore than that. You know what I mean? Like I gave birth to like some pretty phenomenal players, I have to say. So whenever I want to roll out, you know, I got like a ready made built-in squad. And it's just like the American dream, you know, got my garden patch. I got my dogs and I got my own squad. It's just, you know, it's a lot of fun. People think it's nerdy and weird.

None of my girlfriends understand it. They are like, you are the, you are a Martian. You're the weirdest person. But that's my thing. baking crochet shooting and then playing games. And I'm particularly partial to first person shooter. It is great. And I love to see like older people like that 91 year old lady.

Why didn't they tell us what she was playing? That's a good question. I was, I looked everywhere to find out what she was playing. Not a single report. And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. A hiker was rescued by Firecrues after being busy. by a rattlesnake in Montecito, California.

Man, you cannot mess with those things. Ooh, that's scary. I remember being at the Reagan Library up on that hill out there. And, well, I can't remember. Oh, my gosh, I can't remember where it was now. But California, obviously, I can't remember the town. But where they had signs everywhere. Beware rattlesnakes.

Beware rattlesnakes. And that's not too far from Montecito. They said Firecruz found the woman three quarters of a mile up the trail the Buena Vista Trail. She got bitten on the ankle. And they instructed her to blow the whistle that she had. And she did not have adequate service

to call 911, but she did text somebody who was able to call 911 for her. She was sent to the hospital. They don't know about her condition, but apparently this is, there's a rise in rattlesnake bikes. Rattlesnake bites in California this year. I don't know why, but that's kind of terrifying.

Easy jet passengers left in the heat. Oh my gosh. We're left in the heat vomiting and passing out in a three-hour border control chaos. This sounds horrible. 100 easy jet passengers were left stranded in Milan after they faced up to three-hour lines at the Linnaete airport due to their new border control checks in Italy. And people were vomiting and passing out in the heat. And it's not even like peak heat season yet. It's northern Italy for crying out loud.

Oh my gosh. That's horrible. A chunk of ice fell from the sky. and through an L.A. County resident's roof, a giant chunk of ice. So, and it's apparently, it was dirty and it really smelled badly. They said that a large, this chunk of ice that went through this wittier home, Northern California. I know what that was. What?

It's from an airport lavatory, an airplane lavatory. I guarantee you it. You think it's poop ice? Yeah, it's poop ice. They said that it crashed through his living room ceiling. There's a giant hole. There's literally, you can see it, a chunk of ice in it. So gross.

Oh, I can't. Man, I, mm-mm. No, I don't like that. Well, let's see. Ooh, God of Chaos asteroid. Apopsis. Apophis. Is it going to blaze across the sky?

Is it going to hit us? No, it's not. I don't care. I don't care about seeing it unless it's barreling towards Earth on a collision course. And in Kenya, I didn't know that. Ant smuggling was a thing, but Kenya sentenced the Chinese ant smuggler to a year in jail. It's a Nairobi court. This guy tried smuggling thousands of ants.

It's apparently very lucrative. And they were going to China. They become pets and you buy them for $100 each. We're in the wrong business, Kane. Stick with us.
