What it is? This is my joeman Randy Savage. And this is our factor. And there is no one that does it better. Right now, yeah. Nobody does it better. I repeat myself, go ahead, tell me something right now. Yeah. I'm living on my own. I'm not a race. And I'm always doing it. Oh, yeah. Good morning and welcome. Episode 2035 of Hard Factor. It is Friday, September 11th, 2026. Never forget. But also, the NFL is all the way back. So sweet and sour.

Yeah. You know, thank you for cheating on the news with us. 80% accuracy. That's offence the ball, bit right? Guaranteed. Yeah. Well, patreon.com slash hard factor. If you need more hard factor today, who was up first? I mean, I'll do it. All right. You were up to which last second. Yeah. I don't think we have a ton of crazy important news today. No, I don't. I don't think I'm a slow news day. I'll go first. Big news of the Maryland Renaissance fair. Okay. That's why he needs no huge news. That's got to be the biggest story of the day. I'll go second with the huge sinkhole at Nick Cage's house. And Pat's going to support on that. It's such a big story. Both of us were drawn to it today. It's a big sinkhole. It's huge. Literally. And then and then Pat, well, Wes, then you're going to go with something. What do you got Wes? I got a viral dispute involving a man who's blaming his poor behavior on Parkinson's,

classic excuse. Oh, that's a good excuse, though. Yeah, it is a good excuse. Yeah. It is a legitimate disease. Is it? It sure is. I don't know if it affects your behavior. It certainly affects your mood, but I don't know if it if you can blame, you know, and being a dick on it. Well, maybe. And then I'll be the judge. I will be the judge. Yeah. And then Pat, you got another one for us, but are you going to wrap it? Rick Springfield killed a guy. He's like a brick or whatever from that command. Exactly. For my man, but it's Rick. Is it as Ted Nugent killed to do? Because if not, then Rick Springfield might. So I feel like Ted Nugent's the kind of guy that's had like a surviving the game style retreat at his house. Right. Yeah. You know what I mean? Come on now. It's me, the new city madman. He doesn't even consider them people, though. Of course not. But I don't drink out of smoke.

I just fucking hunt people. If he's ever admitted to killing a person, I just don't know. I mean, because if the Rick Springfield came out with it. Rick has now. Interesting. And so, yeah, and that's it. That's going to be the show for this one, this Friday. You guys excited? You guys are going to action riding on this weekend. NFL Open. Yeah, I do. And the boy it is doing really well. Okay. The boy it picked. Picked a New England yesterday plus three and a half points. Oh, just snuck in there. Yeah. Just snuck right in there. I've just been refining it. I set up a fit. I'm not so as horrible. And I'm waiting for Mark to join it so we can both refine it. Yeah, I got to get in there with my GitHub. Pat, what's the boy it liked in this weekend? Oh, do you want to know? Do you want to know the boy it's like in the speaking? Let me pull it up here for you, buddy. Let me pull it up. And you're going to like this, Mark. You're going to like this because you better believe that I put together a little UI.

Okay. You better believe I put together a little situation here, which is going to show you what the boy it's like in this weekend. Okay, so real quick, real quick, these are the boy it's NFL picks. Okay. It's liking it tonight. SF plus three and a half, which I like that too. It's liking Green Bay plus one and a half and Washington, Philly plus five and a half, Washington plus five and a half. Let's get over to the college football picks. If you like Washington plus five and a half at Philadelphia. Yeah, I look, hey, look, don't argue with it. You can understand this. I can't understand it. I'm wearing a commander's jersey. I mean, just saying, any college is far superior. Anybody who would understand it, it's far superior than intelligence is far superior. This isn't AI based off of Pat being the brain behind it. So it might be affirming him a bit though. No, no, no. I did give it example at the top when we started developing the model of Larry and me,

Tonsel being out and it just keeps going back to like, I've moved the line to commanders by 10. Okay, well, if you want to know, this is what it's like for college football. These are the overs. This is a Mitch mismatch over lopsided game. Okay. They like the, these are all overs. They only take overs. It doesn't take unders. I don't know. Illinois was constant East Tennessee, North Carolina. Campbell and Florida Charlotte and Ole Miss Wagner James Madison, Norfolk State Virginia, Rico or Rice Notre Dame, Tossin South Carolina, Grambling TCU, UT Mart West Virginia, Mercy Hunt in Mexico, West Sturgeon Kentucky, Georgia, Per View A&M Baylor, Villanova Louisville, Western Carolina Cincinnati, Louisiana Tech LSU, Florida A&M Miami Howard, Indiana, Southern and Houston. That's the overs. And then it likes Charlotte plus 45 and a half. Those are its picks. Hmm. Okay. I made out of you got to trust the boy out this weekend. It would find it more difficult. What is it like in the Texas game?

I have a pinion. I can ask it, but it won't give me its opinion if it doesn't think it's going to win. I can ask it. Yeah, yeah, just ask it. That's fair for the, I mean, of the boy out. All right, let me ask it real quick. If you want me to ask it, just real quick. And again, I said to get up. Hey, boy out. Is LSU going to get expelled from the SEC? Oh, he's supposed to vote on that. It said absolutely. LSU is getting expelled. You see that's what's saying. Is LSU expelled from the SEC? Let me see what likes the Texas game. Who do you like in the Texas game? Pick's engine. Who do you like? I asked I said, should I fork the college football in the NFL? Oh, okay. Okay, okay. So now everybody in the SEC says they were just joking. Yes, it's a joke. Well, we could do that. And we did release the press release and all. But April September fulls.

We was full and y'all. What? What? What if it was a joke? It was full. My buddy sent me the pricing of the Texas Ohio State game. Some of those lower level seats are over 30 grand. What? Holy. Yeah, moldy. It's thinking, Wes, it's spending tokens. We sent 14 tokens so far as it thinks. So I'll let you know as soon it gets me into it. It gets results because he has he spends the dollar. I'll let you know what I saw on the opener. I would go out of state. You better believe that I'm using Fable 5. Okay, here we go. Five point five point one came out. So maybe doesn't really have a signal either way. Here's the breakdown. Straight up model has Texas as a 56% favorite. Okay, which lines up with Vegas Texas minus one and a half. Against the spread, the model's own projected margin is Texas by only 0.8 softer than the market's.

Lines one and a half for Texas. So it's San Taco has state 1.5. Yeah, but there's no edge. The model doesn't have an edge. Okay. At that point, you just got to take Ohio State. Yeah, I mean, apparently Texas didn't look great last week. So we'll see. No. No, they didn't. Yeah, no, we'll see how the boy it does. We'll see how Texas does. But let's get to the Renaissance festivals. Okay. All right. Enough of this football crap. All right. Let's talk about red fares. Football is back. And so are the predictions who makes the playoffs.

Actually, I just passed the big billboard advertising the Texas Renaissance Festivals coming back in October. I was like talking to cam. I was like, we're going to go right. He's like, yeah, we go over here. They look like fun. I mean, I'd like to go and drink a huge beer. You'd be here to try and turn.

We'll come with us this. I will come with you. See the bucksome nerd showing off their cleavage. I have no issue with the horny nerds gathering at the field and drinking together. No, it's great. Yeah. Won't be going. I just don't know. It's not in the cards for me. It's hard to give up a full day of football for it. Well, start getting out there in football season. We're the real actionists if you want to know. No, it's not at the Renfair. It's at the campsite after the Renfair. That's where the real action is. That's where the slots are. The red here slots, dude. Well, do you remember the Texas guy that did the HBO documentary about the guy who owned the Texas one? King. The king and the opening scene was like, I want to die. I want to die ejaculating inside a whore when I die. That's how I want to go. That guy. He did for a couple of years. He did that. Then they did for a couple of years. Saturday nights were like a sex club after hours at that big Renfair. I think adult only and like rave sex stuff.

We're heading to the Maryland one, though. Apparently things aren't going well for the ultra nerds at the Renfair and Maryland. Where is it, Mark? Where is it? We're in Maryland, dude. It's in Revel Grove, which is very near anapolis. Okay. We'll call it anapolis because no one knows that we'll grow this. It's an interesting, anapolis is not a weird place. It's not necessarily typical America. A little less weird now because 50 years into their large Renfestival, they've decided to put the cabash to furry freaks that come to the festival dressed up like furries. They said, no moths to the furries. Festival president Jules Smith Jr said the decision followed repeated complaints. Patrons uncomfortable around the horny first suit wears unauthorized performances by furries. They just started performing and posing as cast members and refusals to cooperate with staff at security. Just a nightmare. Yeah. Yeah. It's not Halloween. Okay. You know what I mean? But I mean, Wes, isn't it though, like when your founder had orgies and the thing is known for just for just like goth chicks to just.

The Maryland founders. The Maryland founder didn't have the orgies that we know of him. I don't know. I mean furries and renfair people are the same Venn diagram. I don't really understand. That's why they keep popping up. This is an issue. This is like this is one of the most marons keeping it tight. Well, it's like you don't want to furry at a civil war festival. Right. It's like guys, we have enough horses and foxes. Okay. We need wenches. Now, this is like a comic book shop when they're surprised that the stinky yugio players showed up. It's like, yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's, it's, I think I think it's, I think it's a, it's, there's this typical outfit that you expect at a Renaissance festival in a furry. Okay, furries. Okay, furries. You're going to show up at every Comic Con. They're going to show up at every renfair. They belong, they belong at Comic Con. No, red fur is the same shit. It's nerd, it's a nerd festival. Well, look, they're, agree to disagree. The festival, the runner's a nerd festival. Right, but there is a man and are more or less.

There is a comic on two. It's not furries, but there's, but there's furry characters in, in comics. Sometimes. Yeah, that's what this is the whole point. They said while we encourage people to dress up, they're fucking werewolves, Wes, in, in, I was going to say, I, I, I mean, not, maybe in like, not, I don't think the Renaissance fair has, fiction, maybe, yeah, sure, there's, there's werewolves in all, and all, and all allow a fox or a sexy, yeah, a fox, a sexy fox or something like that. Well, you know what's fucking up is that, is that rob Disney Robin Hood, right? Like he's, he's like a fox. Yeah, in the sexy made Marion. Yeah, but look, the, the people are saying we encourage people to dress up and have fun, but we don't recall any horny humans dressed in giant animal costumes being around a medieval times. That's right. That would have probably been boxed and recorded, and we know about that. So this is all about here. There you go. There's a fox. Yeah, there's a fox. He's not allowed. Dude, see I don't allow the fox.

You're okay with the, because of Robin Hood, because Robin Hood. Yeah, exactly. This is because I'm saying, dude, nerds pushed acceptance clothes are so hard that now they have to accept furries. Well, guess what? The furries are not happy. And they claim them. You don't like acceptance culture? Well, I mean, when you push it so hard that you're, that you attract the furries, this is what, this is, you have brought it on yourself. You dug your grave nerds. Yeah, but we'll, now they're putting up, now they're putting up the race of sign that says, you know, they're kids allowed. Biggest, no, no, no. Because they're deep down. They're fucking big. It's like the rest of us. And they just don't want to admit it. Now they're putting up the sign. And they were not getting the race of sign. I'm sorry, then. That'd be a bridge too far. We can't accept you furries. We're, everybody's cool except for furries. You're a level of nerd too far and you're creeping us out. Guess what? They're not happy. The furries aren't happy. They claim they're being just discriminated against again, which is pretty much a part for the law. And they are, well, and they are.

It's tough being a furry. Wow. Here's Shauna, uh, past, past a, past a koala who traveled all the way from New Jersey to the Maryland fan and her, and her coyote and her coyote. Oh, that's a fox too. No, she's a coyote. Oh, she's a coyote. The gray. A brown-nosed coyote on the other side. She's a coyote. She's a coyote. Gray in the tent. The coyote. She's a coyote. The coyote. Whatever she says. She says. She says she's a coyote. Well, she wears a coyote mask and then it's, uh, undetermined how it with her very furry arms. And then she's got a tail. But the face is coyote. That's a coyote. That's a coyote. It's like a fox tail to me. She is a hefty coyote. I'll say that. What is it she looks like under there? She looks like a squirrel. She usually slender that, that animal. She's a big girl. And the tender big one. She thinks she would have gone with like a hog or something. That's real. That's me. That's me. That's me. That's me. That's me. That's me. That's me. That's me. You need to be a little more accepting. She's a coyote mask. That's me. Well, it's like me dressing as a mow.

She should be a hippo. She's. You guys have been real mean to shot. Oh, I'm not. I'm just making fun of it. Yeah. If I was a furry, if I was a furry, I would have an animal like a power animal. That lady's no, it's not a coyote. It's just not a coyote. I'm sorry. Well, Shawna took the trip all the way from Jersey as she does to go to this man. And she does to go to this Maryland fair every year, because it's her favorite one. And they turned her ass away. They said, no, this year, you know, coyotes. There's no coyotes in this fair. It's a little big to be. What do you mean? It's hard to go away. Chicken legs are chicken legs are that way, babe. Just take the mask off and go get your turkey like. And she said, I'm really angry. She identifies as a member of the furry fandom. That's stir clear them. She probably most died, died five times driving there and that thing. Yeah.

No, they keep some masks off. There was an air conditioning system in the world. Yeah. The line of sight. Yeah. Yeah, she's worse than the blonde guy. Yeah. This isn't how run fairs used to be. It used to be safe, safe, inclusive space for 50 years. And now it's completely switched over nice. She also said that muffled behind the coyote mask. But that's what she said. But it's true though. I mean, like that's the thing is like when you have a nerd festival and then you all of a sudden start excluding one group of nerds, it is fucked up. Like it's like they're saying it's true. I'm weirdly with the furries on this one. Almost never with the furries. But on this one, I kind of am with them because it's like they have been invited to all these nerd spaces for so long. And then now, because they're getting a little too sexual, they're being expelled from all the nerd spaces. When all the other nerds get super horny too. Well, I'll tell you what. Maybe that's the whole point behind is these nerds just want these, these women that not show up as giant foxes. They want them to, they want her to show some cleavage instead.

Yeah. But here's Ash, here's Ash Delmonico who travels like from Florida every year to go to this Maryland festival. Apparently it's a big deal. She's an elf. Is this okay? Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, that's sure. That's very met. Yeah. The guy on the right is not, doesn't look like a serious. Yeah. I guess there are. How could you, how could you not tell? That's an archer's shirt. Yeah. Dove, dovelet or whatever. They're like medieval term for shirt. They're dressed like medieval people, but then they add the Elvenirs, like a little fair. Like a small flair, not a furry, not the whole costume. Now she said the vibe seemed chillier this year without the furries, but does realize it's a slippery slope because they're going to take away my elf ears next year. Yes. These people are just looking for any excuse to dress up, dude. No magic at all. Barbecue. No magic at all. No magic at this friend fair, dude. You think I fucking put the wizard in the cage and shit? It needs to be real.

So that's the story. I mean, I hear him. I understand the furries weird everybody out, but the reality is you open Pandora's box. You let the furries in. You can't now just like kick them out. You know where they fucked up? It was earlier in the story when I told you they started like taking over performances from the actual paid performers, and they were jumping in line. Like that's what really kicked them out. Well, they're not only is they're the normal level of confusion and you're like, yeah, from the regular people, but then they start messing with the performers. Then they want to participate. Well, this isn't participating. This is like getting on stage and like interrupting a choreographed show. I will say the funniest thing came and I went to the other, came and I went to the other, we go to everyone, I sound special because you know nerds it hard, I guess. But the funniest thing was there were these guys walking around, not in Renaissance clothes, but they just had these like scary ass masks. Like they were just dressed like like scary ass dudes. And they would go stand up behind a nerd.

And when the nerd would turn around, they'd see this person and they would terrify them. They would have to run that funny. Dude, they went to a Renfair to just fucking tear-ass nerds. Yes. I've fallen around for like 15 minutes. I've got as a rapper too. Do you see any farries? I didn't see any, I might have seen like a fox. I definitely saw some elf ears in shit, but I don't think I saw a full furry now. Well, Maryland has a problem they used to. Taking care of now. I'm just gonna go somewhere else. Yeah, the Annapolis furries are gonna find a way to go. Oh, well this is a huge opportunity to open a furry festival, red and festival combo. There you go. There's a market. People are traveling from fucking Florida to Maryland. I mean, that's the pop it in the middle of the East Coast, you know? Is that the biggest one in the country? Or is the Texas one the biggest one in the country? Maryland's one of the biggest. I mean, they have, they have like furry festivals everywhere. I know, but this can be a furry red festival, as soon as I'm.

Right. And I think the furries want more than one festival per year. Yeah, they give them, they'll take it. It's a life. They'll take a mile. They'll take as many festivals as possible. Yeah, they will. How many? They hate being human. They're a fox hole. They'll take a burrow. They hate working. They hate being a human. They want to be in the costume. You're not going to turn down an opportunity to fuck your friends in a costume. They just like stinking. Stinking it up. Um, Hey, pouch users, I want you to listen up. Maybe you're someone who desperately needs a nicotine pouch every 15 minutes, just to feel normal. Sound familiar? How many pouches are cups of coffee or energy drinks do you need per day to stop yourself from crashing or even feeling nicotine withdrawal, right? Do these things cause anxiety? Make you feel on edge? Do you like it? Is it a funny how we'll do everything in our power to be healthy? Go to the gym, eat well, eight hours of sleep. But then stay reliant on putting chemicals in our body just for energy. It doesn't make sense. It's ridiculous. Did you know it's possible to feel this energized and focused without nicotine or caffeine?

What? Yeah. Do you feel less on edge or anxious compared to nicotine when you have a nicotine or caffeine? It's pretty easy ultra pouches, guys. That's what I'm talking about. I'm talking about ultra pouches. Yes. These are non nicotine pouches that enhance your memory.

They also have winter green, which is icy fresh tropical, which is producing vibrant watermelon, which is sweet and punch. I haven't tried that yet, but I'm excited. And blue razz, sweet and tart. Yeah. You should get after it, guys. Ultra is the new ultimate guilt free pouch. Delivering instant focus and mental clarity without nicotine or caffeine.

Yeah. You should be focused enough at that point to tell. Remember to tell them that hardfactor sent you to takeultra.com. Exactly. Do it. I was just popping in my new tropics right there to get ready to tell you about the sinkhole at Nick Cage's house. If you haven't heard by now, a giant sinkhole has opened at Nick Cage's residence in Malibu on Tuesday morning. I can't be a coincidence. Look at it. It's right there in his fucking driveway. It literally ate his driveway. Oh, not the whole. It's because he's doing sorcery in that house. I'll tell you that much. He's so fast. I mean, there's his last like 13 movies that like deal with like the supernatural, the one color movie color and then the Mandy. Like he's done like four or five incredibly. It's like 25 movies ago, Mark. Mandy is not 25. I was like, maybe he does a lot of movies to Pat's point. Hey, Pat, so you got this on a notification on your phone. It blew you away. I jumped at the article LA Times Malibu residents evacuate after massive, expanding

sinkhole opens at Nick Cage's house. Exactly. No. It is expanding. Look at this thing. While nobody is dead yet, the whole is about 30 feet deep. It's cavernous, like I'm saying. And then it's about 60, 60 feet wide. This fucking thing is huge. Okay. And it's been declared a city of Malibu emergency with several residents along sea level drive having to evacuate the area. The road has been totally closed. They evacuated everybody on that street. According to Yahoo and TMZ, the city says several homes have been red tagged because hazardous conditions. While another 24 residents are expected to be red tagged because vehicles can no longer get in or out safely. Gas services has already been shut off. The effect area and officials say water could be next, which look at the fucking water pipes. They're just literally out. They're just spraying into the open. And then most of this is so close to the ocean. It's just flowing into the ocean.

The ocean is coming into his house and then the water pipes from his house are just spraying into the ocean now. It sounds to me like Nick Cage left his outdoor hose on for like a month. Yeah, or he was digging in his basement. Yeah, definitely did. This is user error. Nick Cage did something. He's kind of digging. Yeah, he could have been building like an altar to the sea, believe it's a house. This is a one of my most used front. It's definitely an altar of some kind of will. Yeah. Yeah, dude. He's living them. Yeah. And so anyways, this thing is a problem. 32 houses evacuated so far. Four to five houses made just drop into the ocean. In fact, you said you might you have some videos that can highlight the situation. What? I gotta say it's kind of crazy because like if your house didn't burn down in Malibu two years ago, now it's going to fall into the sea. Like it's kind of Malibu Lebowski. For sure. These four or five houses, you got to, I mean, you can't sell. No, I got a crazy video.

The reason this is happening, guys, is the not the regular El Nino, but the El Super El Nino, the Superboy. Oh, wow. Right? There's a Super El Nino coming and Tropical Storm Marie is wiping out beaches all up and down the west coast of this country in ways that are absolutely insane. And I came across, which first I'll check this video in Long Beach. So the tide is super high, right? Look at this shit. This is a Long Beach. Look at the water coming down. That's fast. That's like a flash flood. Bye, car. Holy shit. Bye, cars. So it's definitely because of the hide tides, man. It's, I mean, Nick Cage probably was trying to build a real, it looks like fucking AI. It's crazy. No. That's right. The tide is super high. Holy shit. Oh, the Tropical Storm. Oh, the Tropical Storm. Marie didn't even hit. It's like way far out. Holy shit. It's just the Super El Nino is happening. But see how that neighborhood right there. Like there's a lot of neighborhoods just like this one in Malibu. They're built directly into the beach, meaning like sometimes they're surrounded by

ocean. Like on the island side. Yeah. Right. Exactly. Like that one was and then you're just completely, you're going to get fucked up by the tide. Check his, check that cage is water bill. Check this shit out. This shit blew me away. This is a video of local news. This is a video from the local news. Obviously Malibu is like probably the most expensive zip code in the country. This crew came out and was just blasting cement into the hillside trying to save these houses. And then you're going to get over your attention here to this because this is them pouring concrete. This team a last ditch effort to save this home from further falling into the ocean. They're trying to, oh, shit. It's not going to work. Because the tide comes back in whatever they can find and they have been doing this non-stop you know, that's not going to set. It's not going to set. No, not enough. This is the man behind it. You are being heralded. A hero, one good and. And this is the way it's called works, maybe. So we met. This guy was arrested by ice the next day. 4am, they were looking non-stop. At one point we saw them running.

That guy was. No, no, no, no, because people were so desperate for your help. They were saying, please, like concrete here and like concrete there. What has it been like? He's making a lot of money. It's been bad. But we've been saving them. Yep. Yeah, you see that one. That's what we're talking about. You just been lucky, dude. No. No. We'll know to know only four or five houses. I thought, how do you guys come over here? And now you're just, what are you guys doing? You're just putting as much concrete down. What are you guys doing? Yeah, we put that concrete down. It is poor, poor, poor. Yeah, you're wasting more of the concrete. It's a good way of waste. We have been. The waves hate concrete. When it's dry and the concrete. The ocean is the concrete. And he says no. No. The only of the ocean is concrete. He says no. No, no. The hell are you guys doing? One, one didn't discuss price. So they're going to get hit with a bill later.

Oh, yeah. But these people are so rich. So it's Nick Cage and then like his ultra richest neighbors who are closest to the ocean. Those four to five houses are the ones that are potentially falling in. And then the relative is the copulus. Right. And then the rest of the neighborhoods probably just freaking out and paying money because they don't want to fall into the fucking ocean. Like Nick Cage just did. So like, so yeah, he's making a shitload. Dude, him and the crew are telling me. I'm a little suspicious of Nick Cage's house having the sinkhole prior to the rest of the tides coming into the town. Mark everybody. Yeah. It's the harbinger. Everybody's worried that Nick Cage's house being the first to fall to hell. Ghost Rider is a bad sign. Yeah. Dude, it's fucking crazy though. Like down in Long Beach. A lot of beaches are just gone. Like straight gone down to stone. Yeah. Well, what's crazy about the videos you were showing or Nick Cage's house even like there's a beach there like it but the tide is so high that it's coming in like under the houses. So it's. It's the first video.

Put that first video again, Pat. That's crazy. Here you go. So this happened because the tides came in and it's a super elinio system and then the tropical storm hurricane Marie raised the tides. That looks like the polar wherever it was. It does. It looks exactly like a flash flood. Like it's a bad one. It is. It's a really, but it's just only happening in like small pockets little neighborhoods that are affected by it. You know, so it's crazy. Dude, water will fuck you up, bro. Yeah. Yeah, don't fuck with it. OK. It'll erode you. Yeah. Will. Yeah, well, certainly will. I got a I got a I got actually I got a flood related story. OK. OK. So this is in Dearborn, Michigan. You know, sometimes when when it rains a lot in the like your neighborhood streets get flooded, right? I mean, you know, it happened in my neighborhood all time growing up. We used to go fucking swim in that shit, which was disgusting.

But yeah, or like or like the creeks, like it would be like huge. Yeah. Your roads would flood to the point you could swim in them. Is that what you just said? Yeah. Yeah. So like parts of it were like in the drainage. Yeah. Yeah. You're not stopping in puddles, but like floating in the ultimate version. Pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the best puddle ever. Never have them in the big puddle area. Yeah. Well, it happens. I mean, if a lot of rain comes, neighborhoods flood. So in Dearborn that happened in neighborhood and one woman was so scared that she was going to get swept away in this flood that she drove on to a man's lawn. And he was furious about that. And he wanted her to do. He wanted her to go back into the flood. And it's gone by. Yeah, go die in the flood. Here's the local news story. In other news, now we saw a lot of storm damage last week all across. That's our boy. Detroit now. Charlie is in the desk now. He's in the homeowner and a driver that happened after some of that heavy rain.

Well, kind of one viral here. Now the homeowner is speaking to our own box. There's England Kelly. England was going on there in Dearborn. Right. Well, Charlie, you know, last week's turbulent while they're actually led to this turbulent exchange, you know, that heavy rainfall led to this street flooding. And so the driver came up here on the grass to avoid the flooded street. Take a look. You can see the tire print. Three inch higher than the street. Okay. Three out because he wanted to make sure that his system would not be damaged. And that's when things got heated. I thought it was like a raised yard. Why do you have sprinkler coming in? She almost hit me. Where did she need to do that? And then I smacked her wind or not a windshield, but the driver's side rear window. It's the part of the lawn in between the sidewalk and the street. Yes. Yes. A flat road. It's two inches above the road. Oh, these people need something to do. I have Parkinson's disease.

Okay. And when, okay, that's why he said home shaking really hard. It's hard for me to concentrate. I'm communicating with people and I get really agitated really easily. And it's all part of the disease. We're talking about maybe three inches of water in the road. Should have been the water on this fucking lawn. Why did she drive on his lawn? It's not a flooded road. No. Some sort of claim for a 25-dollar sprinkler action. This is just a horrible situation. Why is he being ridiculed from yelling at that lady? We're spoke to Fox 2 on the condition that he would remain anonymous, but he has a message that he hopes everyone will hear. The learning lesson here or what would you like to say to other people who are watching this? Very anonymous this guy. Sometimes things are said in the heat of the moment that it's not men. What did he say?

Or kind to each other? Oh, you get the fuck off my lawn. Let's use more common sense and go down the separate side street instead of someone's sidewalk. Is he getting ahead of a racial thing here? Because I don't understand. I think the lady was black, Mark. I do believe. I think the lady said, you know what? The fact that his work is so was not damaged. Basically, he's just going to let anything go away. He should no business driving in his life. He says that's not who he really is. But you know, he got him back. He never gets caught up in the heat of the moment. You know, he wants people to know. He didn't do anything wrong. He's right behind him. That street had to be apologized. He should be apologizing. He did have a lot of street. The driver is an idiot. She almost hit him. He's driving his grass. But again, you know what? We would like to hear from this driver if you are interested in your work. Yeah. Especially after we're on onto the hunt of this guy. It seems like he's feeling guilty about something. We really would like to talk to him. What did he say? That's the thing. We'd like you to confront this old white homeowner with Parkinson's live. He saw an angry at approaching for the interview.

Yeah. Did he say any? Is that why they sent angry because she's black and like they were like texting him? I don't know. I really be able to make it through the interview. If he just told her to get the fuck off his lawn, he did absolutely nothing wrong because this road wasn't flooded and she wasn't getting to safety by driving all over his lawn. No. So I don't understand why it's a story. No, dude, because like she was definitely in the wrong. You shouldn't have be driving on that guy's on that guy's side. If any story had she's in the wrong and wasn't said something crazy. Your car can drive through some water, man. It's not like it's going like two inches of water at most. Yeah. Yeah. Turn around. Turn around, man. Dude, but that was like the road you could see the road. Yeah, the road was three inches flooded. I mean, it wasn't like halfway up her tires. That's yeah, there was barely. She was like, she was like, she freaked when they got their paw wet. Yeah, she freaked out. And then drove on the guy's road and he's like, and then he freaked out because the sprinklers. Shit. That's weird. And then what the hell do you say? I know, man. Fuck you say. I started shaking and fucking just yelling at her.

No, I want to bring anonymous. I'm going to want you to know how Parkinson's. Yeah. I ain't going to. You especially need to know. Yeah. But this is all for disease. I don't know. Anyway. All right. Yeah, so. Are there any gay people on your crew? Because they also need to know. I'd really like to let them know. I'd really like to let them know. I'd really like to let them know. I'd really like to let them know. I'd really like to let them know. I'd really like to let them know that I'm Parkinson's as well. Rick Springfield, guys. Jesse's girl. Great song. Jesse has a girl. Great song. Except it's a little bit messed up because. He steals Jesse's girl. You just got to turn that part of your brain off. You know what I mean? Like you see, yeah, you might be a wreck moving in on his friend. You might be a wreck. You're a wrecked your boy's girl, but you just keep that to yourself. You don't write a goddamn song about it. You don't write a number one hit about it. Right. I hope it comes Rick Springfield. Yeah. If you leave your driver on like in Jesse's girl, you better believe it.

Jesse's right next to me. Yeah. If he leaves, I'm going to fuck his girl. If the original Scott, he doesn't know. Right. You leave your smoke around Rick. He's going to get smoked up. If you leave your bitch around Rick, she's going to get stuffed. Yeah, Rick Springfield, he's older now. He's, I think he's like 78. He's up to getting up there. Looks great. Looks fantastic. Yeah, he's ripped, dude. I saw his pictures when we were talking about this. Yeah. Yeah. He did the Joe Rogan experience on September 8th. Wow. He's really just like Jesus. He told Joe that he killed a guy in Vietnam on accident. And how? How? Here's my thing. It was Jesse. So in the rest is history. You finally have it out. Yeah. And uh, did that help for Jesse again? So this is about, I didn't really know until like kind of recently, but in the age of

podcasting, right, you got to be careful with your stories of your celebrity. I've given this advice to a couple of clients I've had like, hey, you only got so many stories. So if you got a good one, choose wisely and when and where you tell that story. Because it'll get clipped, it'll go viral. Like it was emailing with John Lerakette because he did the voice over the newest Texas Chainsaw Masker and he told me something that wasn't known that he got paid to do the original voice over for Chainsaw with a bag of weed. Uh, I thought that was very funny. Very cool. And then he later told that story. Um, I guess it a jog as a memory told us around a podcast once you're a viral, right? It was a little hidden gem. You just assume, I guess we're experiencing fields not doing the podcast circuit very often. But you'd assume that this story would be better known, but apparently not rigged, waited until his 78th year to drop this bomb that he killed a guy in Vietnam. So let's go back to 1968 when Rick, who's Australian, went over to Vietnam to entertain the US soldiers. He Rick said quote, soldiers wanted to see you know, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That math doesn't math. In 1968 he was in Vietnam.

Yeah. That's like 50. That's like 60. Oh, I'm sorry, 77. So he was 20 when you went over to Vietnam? Yeah, to entertain the troops. He was that famous at like 19. No, no, no, no, he wasn't that famous. You don't have to be famous to do the USO tour if you just listen to what I'm about to tell you. I was trying to do the math 32 plus 26 is 58 subtract. So he was 20. He was like 19. Yeah, but he was he was touring over there for the troops. Yeah, he's been famous for a while. Well, you're not again, you're not necessarily famous if you're doing a USO tour. You're not. You're semi, you're semi-famous. No, no, you have a career, but you're, you're providing service. You're in the biz. Yeah. You're in the biz, but that's what Rick said. It's his soldiers wanted to see, you know, girls that reminded them of home. So as long as we had a couple girls in the band, they'd hire us and you know, you could go tour Vietnam during the war zone. He said, he said, quote, it was pretty insane. We were there for about four months, which is entirely too long to be touring a war zone. I'll tell you that much. You want to get it out? That's awesome, dude. Yeah.

He said it was, I mean, that's crazy though. That's cool. Crazy. He said it was, quote, an insane way to earn some extra money and quote, of course, we didn't make any money. We spent all of it at the PX, the posters. Yeah. Hookers, dude. Yeah. Kill the man with. It's a 12 kids. Right. Right. But during his, it's his four month tour, literally, of Vietnam during the conflict. He was caught in what he called a freaky attack. And this is his quote. We met these guys and we really got along and well, we stayed overnight with them and we all got to the bunkers and the perimeter bunkers and I stayed in the radio shack and we got attacked. And I'm throwing mortars down the freaking tube of the radio shack. What? Yeah. He continues, the hardest thing for me that I had thrown a mortar down and it hit someone. And they came back the next day and said, hey, you got one. You got one. And that's still a hard place to land in me, you know, that it's really kind of one

thing I brought back with me that I couldn't really find a place for that to land. So is that the attack their base and he mortared something? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Kong pretty good, dude. Pretty nice moves by Springfield. Yeah, he didn't like kill us a million. That's what I was thinking. And I was just part of the war for defending himself. Same as on life. Yeah. Nice work, dude. Way to go, right? Rogan asked if he wanted to throw the mortars down the tube and he said it was John Wayne time, you know? As a young kid, I didn't really understand what I was doing. Yeah. Sure. I think it's so many who are still there. Yeah. So it's hard for me to land it. I really don't have a thing to do really what I what I was doing, you know, but as a kid and playing like I said, John Wayne, it was pretty heavy when you really think about it, I killed a guy. Right. Yeah, he did. That's an interesting story. Blue him up with a mortar, which is like actually one of the more impressive ways to kill somebody. Yeah.

Oh, anyway, Jesse's girl was a number one hit. And, uh, Jesse was playing with fire just existing. He was. Dude, Rick Springfield. What a fucking cat. Smoke disaster. You got killed by a Australian pop star. Yeah. It was 19. Yeah. Anyway, that's the show. Hope you enjoyed it. He about been. Yeah. I can't believe I've never told anyone this story before, but you hear about that in 1968. I killed a, killed a VC with a mortar. Hey, Rick, grab someone's mortar, throw them down the tube. We're getting attacked. I mean, anyone's going to do the same thing. You tell you. Yeah, yeah, they're getting shot at. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No shame in that. I thought he got like drunk and killed us. That's what I thought. I thought it was like he went over there like, like for pleasure and was just. Can I be a little more this guy? Yeah. Yeah. 13 years later, Jesse's grow at number one. And that's the show. Get out there and have yourself a great fucking weekend.

See you later, yeah. You're not going to be a dictator, are you? I said, no, no, no, other than day one. How did Donald Trump turn the presidency into a king? Well, it didn't start with him.
