 Hard Factor 3/26: Ave-Naw-T-Boy , Bad Week For Weed, Kid at Work Doses Everyone with LSD | File Type: audio/x-mpeg | Duration: 00:20:00

Michael Avenatti is a world class scumbag. The guy doesn't pay child support, rips off every business partner he ever had, makes an announcement saying he's no longer defending porn stars, and now it turns out embezzled money from his client, falsified tax returns and extorted NIKE (Allegedly). This greasy bald bastard is facing up to 97 years in prison and our thoughts are just hook is ass off the face of the earth with a giant cane and launch him into outer space.Not a great week for weed. That's not a sentence that makes a lot of sense, but New Jersey cancelled the vote to legalize recreational marijuana and expunge the records of people with prior marijuana related offenses and apparently a lot of idiots in Colorado are greening out on edibles and ending up in the ER. Let's get it together here people, stop eating too many edibles and fucking this up for the rest of us if you can't handle your shit.Do any of you have a 19 year old in your office that looks like he's probably dosing the water cooler with LSD. Well you might and if you worked at Enterprise car rental in Arnold Missouri, you did. Turns out the teenager was actually trying to help, admitting to dosing his co-workers water and coffee but saying he was only doing it to improve the negative energy in the office. Something tells me this kid is going to be dosing a few more offices before he just figures out every office has a negative energy and quits corporate life to become his own boss, selling tie dye shirts.Here's the best of the rest:- Cuck of the year flies his plane into building he thought wife was in but she and everyone else had evacuated so he just killed himself and on one else- The family that owns Krispy Kreme and Panera Bread had a closet full of Nazi German ancestors that did some real bad shit in Germany during WWII so they are going to donate a bunch of money to charity- A man was arrested at an Indonesian airport for drugging and smuggling an orangutan in his luggage

The report also contains other details about how Russia did indeed seek to influence the 2016 election.A cruise ship in Norwegian waters (first of all, why are people doing March cruises in Norway) lost control of itself in giant ocean swells and barely made it back to shore over the weekend.Mel B (Scary Spice) told everyone about how she went down on Gerri Hallwell (Ginger Spice) back in the day, and now there may be trouble with the upcoming Spice Girl reunion tour. Turns out Ginger Spice's conservative husband may not like her hanging around her old squeeze.The PowerBall is going to be at least $750 Million for the Wednesday drawing.

 Hard Factor 3/21: Huge Philly Coke Bust, Adderall & Hot Tea Are Bad, & We Put A Sick YouTuber In The Soft Corner | File Type: audio/x-mpeg | Duration: 00:29:00

Authorities seized 1,000 lbs of cocaine at a port in Philadelphia and coke heads in Philly are probably not happy about it.  The combined street value of the bust was 18 million dollars, but was not nearly the biggest bust in our great countries history.  In 1989 a warehouse in CA was busted with 21 tons of cocaine inside, at the time it had a street value of 6 billion.A woman who adopted 7 children and started a VERY popular YouTube in which she made them perform in sketches, has been arrested because she was not only collecting checks from YouTube, but also torturing her kids.  Her YouTube channel titled "Fantastic Adventures", which had over 250 million views and over 800,000 followers has since been taken down and her and her sons are going to jail and are permanently in the Soft Corner.Apparently Adderall can cause psychosis... Who knew that stuffing yourself with Government Methamphetamine could cause your brain to turn on itself??  Also, VERY hot tea can increase your risk of esophageal cancer, probably because when you drink 140 degree tea you are constantly burning your esophagus, leaving it susceptible to cancer...maybe.Lightening Round:- Crazy bus driver in Italy sets a bus full of middle schoolers ablaze.- President Trump needs to chill with insulting John McCain- Weight loss update 

 Hard Factor 3/20: Interview w/ 19y/o Porn Beater Gracelyn Sorrell, Robert Kraft's Busted Busting, and Other Headlines | File Type: audio/x-mpeg | Duration: 00:20:00

Florida prosecutors are offering Bob Kraft an essential draw, by giving him the option to get off on all blowjob charges, with some minor penalties, if he simply admits that if he were to go to trial that he could possibly be found guilty.  If Kraft were to take the deal he would be subjected to community service, some bullshit education classes on prostitution, and would have to pay court fees..  In addition, if he did take the deal he could also face some NFL penalties under their personal conduct policies/Roger Goodell is a very jealous man policy.  We will keep you updated and we stand behind Robert Kraft.Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Gracelyn Sorrell claims she figured out how to stop masturbating.. WHAT?!?!?!  Did she also cure cancer!?!?!  We aren't sure how and we aren't sure if we believe her, but she was a great interview none the less and is a must listen!!  In all honesty, she was a great sport and we hope all our listeners who are struggling with porn addiction, guessing about 100%, listen to the interview to find inspiration...

Frank "Franky Boy" Cali the boss of the infamous Gambino crime family was wacked off by a 24 year old Q follower? Come on, no way. One of the other four families or someone in his own family hired this easily brain washed punk in the perfect cover. Maybe they told him Franky Boy was hiding Muslims in the attic.Apparently Space is the last place you want to go if you have herpes, and you will never guess why? Any guesses? Its because just like on earth, the virus is activated by stress, and we imagine being locked inside a capsule for months at a time, unsure of whether or not you will ever get to eat another meal with your family or if you will just get incinerated upon re-entry plays a little bit of a factor on your stress levels as you peer out the window at our very round blue planet. Also it's kind of hard to hide from your fellow astronauts for a few days in a row. "Why does Jeff have his helmet on inside the spaceship?"And so much more in the Lightning Round.

 Hard Factor 3/12: Tucker Carlson Got A Little Loose Lipped On Bubba the Love Sponge, Venezuela is Powerless And The Iditarod Is the Craziest Race | File Type: audio/x-mpeg | Duration: 00:20:00

Look we've all said some things we regret or maybe don't even regret but wish not everyone heard right? We just probably haven't all done it on a shock jock radio host who arranged for his wife to fuck the Hulkster on camera's radio show for five straight years. Tucker comes off as a real asshole but the real story here is that the Hulk has a hammer and everyone that he leg dropped probably has CTE.Who has two Presidents and no electricity, that would be the country with the world's largest oil reserves, Venezuela. Venezuela is having a worse year than R. Kelly. Four days without power, that is one sweaty fucking place ... actually the weather is perfect right now in Venezuela.Nicolas Petit keeps getting close to winning the Iditarod but blowing it. First he couldn't navigate a blizzard in 2017 when he was about to win the race and likely ended up eating all of his dogs just to survive. Now two years and ten new dogs later and he finds himself with a commanding lead 83% through the race. All he has to do is not yell at his alpha dog in front of all the other dogs. Oops. Petit embarrassed lead dog Joey and Joey and all the other dogs said fuck you Nicolas and parked their asses refusing to race. Maybe next year.And so much more in the 'Lighting Round.'

 Hard Factor 3/7: SCANDAL in Canada, A Cure For HIV?, and a Vengeful German Gardener + Weight-Loss Update | File Type: audio/x-mpeg | Duration: 00:20:00

The Canadian government is in “shambles” because Canucks are so darn moral. Apparently Canada's favorite son (and possibly the son of one or more members of The Rolling Stones) has been pressuring cabinet ministers to give a break to massive engineering company SNC-Lavalin – who has apparently been doing some shady things in Libya. SNC-Lavalin happens to be one of the biggest employers for the people of America's hat via government contracts. There in lies the rub. Truth be told – if you're not bribing and doing business with an iron fist in Libya, you're doing it wrong. For the second time in history a person has been fully cured of HIV.  Which seems like amazing news – but  don't throw away your Trojans quite yet. It's possible to get the cure you might also need to get cancer…? That can't be right. Either way this is middling news. If you live in West Germany, you know that you DO NOT FUCK WITH 59 year-old German gardener Bernhard Graumann. He is a man who knows how to hold a grudge. The vengeful seedsman was found dead in his home on Friday leaving countless untrimmed hedges, oh and also a bunch of booby trapped bombs at the homes of anyone that ever crossed him – including his long time doctor and some other poor lady that probably criticized his mowing job.Also a Lighting Round of other headlines + a weight-loss update (Spoiler: we're slightly less fat)

She couldn't drive herself because along with not having a job she didn't have a driver's license. She probably thought that was how you use the phone, you throw it at the person you want to talk to.
