In three, two, one... Ah, that's good stuff.

Okay, I'm really puzzled by something that I don't understand. I shouldn't have this much light in here, but apparently I do. So it seems to be working well.

Here's some stories for the day. No surprise, when Trump was in the news the other day, all of the cable news had higher ratings, and so did I. It turns out that there is nothing as interesting as President Trump. There's nothing you can do. You could try to ignore it, but you can't. He's just the most interesting thing in the world, apparently. So I would expect my ratings will go up if he runs for president, and everybody else's ratings will go up if he runs and gets nominated. Which makes me wonder, is there any chance he won't be nominated, given that everybody in the news business would make a lot more money if he is? It pretty much guarantees he gets nominated, doesn't it? Doesn't guarantee he wins, but it does guarantee he gets nominated, I think. Yeah.

DeSantis is boring, isn't he? What's up with that? I still think he might not run, but I guess I would be a contrarian there.

I saw Michael Pollan talking about how home cooking has declined. Apparently the number of people who cook at home is at an all-time low since the '60s, and people are getting fatter than ever, which is more evidence that our food supply is killing us. I think our food supply is killing us. I don't think there's anything more dangerous in the world than just the food you buy at the grocery store.

Have you noticed that when you see these street fights — I see all these videos of people getting in fights in public — have you noticed how many women weigh 400 pounds in these street fights? I've never seen such gigantic human beings. We've gone way beyond overweight. It's gone to gigantism.

Sorry about my hand.

So how many of you cook at home? I almost never do, but I'm trying to. I'm trying to cook at home, but it's the only way you can get food that isn't filled with preservatives. It's the preservatives that I'm allergic to — sulfites. So I've been running a little experiment to see how I would feel if I got my processed foods as close to zero as I could. Now, I can't really get it to zero, but I'm trying to cut way, way back, and I feel pretty good, I have to say. It's almost immediate. I've got a feeling our food supply is so bad for us that it's almost like the pharma companies should buy the food companies and make sure they don't improve so you can sell more drugs to people later. But that might be the biggest problem in the world that we just don't talk about, because I guess we're just used to eating crappy food.

All right, here's the biggest story, I think. I don't know if you know this, but there's a new drug that's a tranquilizer called xylazine that fentanyl users are looking for, sometimes intentionally, and sometimes it's just mixed in their fentanyl and they don't know it. Now, here's the problem. Not only does it make the fentanyl more deadly, but it makes the treatment for it — the naloxone, what do you call it? Narcan. So Narcan is the stuff you can spray up somebody's nose if they're dying from fentanyl. It doesn't work if the fentanyl is mixed with tranq. It won't work. So just when we start getting Narcan in a lot of places where maybe it can make a little bit of a difference, coincidentally the people who ship us the drugs mixed in the chemical that makes the Narcan not work. You still die.

Now, do you think that's a coincidence? Do you think that just when we come up with some way we can not defeat it but at least slow it down a little bit, they add a second poison? Now, apparently the addicts actually like it because it makes the high last longer, I guess. But it also makes your skin rot. Makes your skin rot. Like just big pieces of your skin will rot and fall off, leave like a hole in your arm. That's how bad it is. But that's also how good it is, because people are still willing to do it even though the pieces of their body are rotting and falling off.
