Hard Factor 3/18: Egging in New Zealand, Sex Parties in Italy, and a Real Life Horror Story in New York
EggBoi, of New Zealand, smashed an egg over NZ Senator Fraser Anning's head, and the internet went wild! Fraser claims that the link between muslim immigration and violence are undeniable… in the wake of the Christchurch mosque shootings. No matter how you fee about that, head over to the store to buy your UNBREAKABLE charity tee to support the victims of the shooting that claimed 50 lives. Former Italian Prime Minister, Silvio “The Knight” Berlusconi, is in hot water over paying a witness to falsify their testimony regarding his famous sex parties, and the fate of the women who attended them. Italian news does not disappoint. In the most terrifying story of the day, a woman in Long Island is suing a cemetery for $5 Million for leaving vacant space in the ground near her parents grave site that caused a sinkhole effect, plunging her into their burial plots, clinging to the gravestone to avoid falling in. Finally, a lightning round of other stories about Beto O'Rourke's bad weekend, Boeing black boxes, and a casino robbery gone wrong. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hard Factor 3/14: Aunt Becky's Daughter Is A Smoke, Mark Zuckerberg Still Sucks, A Priest On The Molester List Is Found Shot To Death, And Trump Smacks Down Boeing
The scandal that is shocking some, and not surprising to most who know how rich people operate, has many stars being named for paying off college coaches, as well as manipulating ACT and SAT scores to get their privledged kids into the college of their liking. We take a look at just how this scheme was operated, who was involved and most importantly, what is the link to Olivia Jade's Instagram profile.... Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg are under yet another investigation involving two large cell phone companies, and once again selling our private data, FUCK YOU FACEBOOK!! It looks like Zuckerberg will again be in a lot of official looking rooms, staring at water like he has no idea what it is. Also Facebook and Instagram were shut down yesterday, maybe still shut down, and everyone now knows just how addicted they are to those two social media sites. John Capparelli, a priest who was previously named on a list with other child molesting Priests, was found dead in his Nevada home, and police think it may have been a crime of Karma/Homicide. This guy had a long post being a creepy pedophile, including becoming a high school wresting coach where he forced his team to wear speedos during practice while showing them just how to perform certain moves, most of which ended with his crotch in their faces. He also ran a website dedicated to erotic sweaty male wrestling. What a peach, may you not rest in peace you piece of shit.

Hard Factor 3/13: Congressman Rodney Davis Joins To Talk Nickelback, Plus A Lightening Round
On today's Hard Factor we talk to our first Congressman, and maybe our first Nickelback fan, Representative Rodney Davis from Illinois. We discuss his new found fame after his hilarious interaction about his favorite band on the House floor, his love of Budweiser Beer, his stance on legalizing marijuana, and if he has ever made love to a Nickelback song. Overall a great guy and we cannot wait to be invited to The White House when he becomes President. Also in The Lightening Round: Brexit fails again, and Wes doesn't know what Brexit is. Rich people and celebrities were paying for their kids to get into elite colleges. Cardinal Pell of Australia is finally getting his comeuppance for a lifetime of touching choir boys. Michael Avenatti wants everyone on Twitter know that he no longer represents Stormy Daniels. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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
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 3/11: Plane Travel in the Soft Corner, Mark Zuckerberg is PARANOID, and a Lightning Round of Other Headlines
Plane travel takes a trip to the Soft Corner, as an Ethiopian Air flight crashed over the weekend despite being one of Boeing's latest models, and another Boeing Turkish Air flight experienced turbulence so bad that it broke bones and sent several to the hospital. New reports point out that Mark Zuckerberg spends almost $20 Million a year on personal security for him and his family. As you might imagine, many of his security protocols are outrageously nerdy and over-protective, listen to learn more. A Lightning Round of other headlines, including more high profile connections to "Orchids of Asia" rub and tug spot, this time it's President Trump. A doctor tells a family that a member is going to die via robot visit (pictured). Jaguar selfie mistake, and California arsonist blames "ghosts" for cause of fire. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hard Factor 3/7: SCANDAL in Canada, A Cure For HIV?, and a Vengeful German Gardener + Weight-Loss Update
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) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hard Factor 3/6: FDA Commissioner Resigns, A Sioux Falls High School Puts On A Controversial Play, And An Old Man Shoots A Disrespectful Amazon Delivery Driver
A 65 year old man shot an Amazon delivery driver after the delivery driver parked in a handicapped spot and then tried to beat the old man's ass for confronting him about it. The old man then fled to a nearby Famous Foot Wear where he was apprehended by police, perhaps looking for a faster pair of shoes to escape with. A Sioux Falls, South Dakota High School is in some hot water after putting on the play “The Foreigner” A play which featured many of the cast dressed in KKK garb, but does the play's positive message outweigh the racist costumes it requires? You be the judge. FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb is resigning from his post citing he needs to spend more time with his family. Sounds a little fishy, Scott. In some good news though, a nasal spray form of Ketamine will soon be available to fight depression and put you in a government induced K Hole. AWESOME!! And so much more in the ‘Lightning Round.'

Hard Factor 3/5: Trump Investigation 2.0, Michael Jackson Couldn't Possibly Have Been Looking At The Man In The Mirror, And Rich Girl Throws Phone
Sorry for the obnoxious title. Hard Factor has yet to attend blogger school. Let's get into today's news. It seems like the Mueller investigation is ending, although who really knows with that thing. So what's next, we just return to normal, roll up the sleeves and get to work? Apparently not. The House of Representatives is about to launch a very long and tedious brand new investigation against President Trump...sound familiar? Hard Factor is just hoping we learn about some obscure porn star we can look up and/or a pee tape comes out of this one. Uhhhhhhh. Uhhhhhh. Don't watch 'Leaving Neverland.' Spoiler alert: Michael Jackson fucks the daylights out of very young kids, a lot, allegedly. Nothing new here right? Well this documentary has the details from first hand victims and YIKES! A 30 year old unemployed rich girl from Potomac Maryland, decided to throw her Mom's giant landline phone directly at her head after her Mom didn't drive her to yoga. 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. Anyways this chick sucks and the story is fucking wild, so listen to the podcast to get the full details. And so much more in the 'Lightning Round.'

Hard Factor 3/4: SpaceX Masters Docking, Martian Lakes, the Jogger Who Claimed to Kill a "Mountain Lion," and Much More
Elon Musk's SpaceX team becomes the first commercial spacecraft to dock at the International Space Station, while new imagery from Mars confirms an ancient network of above and below-ground lakes that point to potential life in the planet's past. Listen to learn how Elon is inching closer toward the eventual goal of sacrificing humans to his Martian gods. The Colorado jogger who claimed he had killed a mountain lion that was "at least fifty pounds" actually just stomped out a baby kitten mountain lion, is a pathetic liar, and is headed straight for the Soft Corner. A man in Oregon got stuck in the snow with his dog in his 4Runner, and resorted to eating Taco Bell Fire Sauce packets to help him and the dog survive. Finally, a Lightning Round of other headlines, including the Senate likely voting to block the border emergency, deadly tornadoes in Alabama and Georgia, US/China trade deal inching closer, and another week of iTunes reviews for a chance at a Friday episode.

HARD FACTOR 2/27: Michael Cohen Disbarred, A Pennsylvania Murder, Retirement Community Has a Very Sexy Problem
Donald Trump's former personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen was officially disbarred yesterday by the New York State Supreme court. If you're confused WHICH later-middle-aged-white-dude-w/-a-legal-degree-who-served-our-president-Michael-Cohen-is... don't feel bad, we're not quite sure either. A tag team mother daughter murderous duo in Bucks Country, Pennsylvania killed five family members in one of the most gruesome murders to ever hit the Keystone State. When authorities arrived, the killers took a page right out of Livia Soprano's book and acted bewildered and unsure of what was going on. When questioned, the killers claimed their heinous acts were motivated by a sense of duty to their now-deceased family members who mutually agreed on a suicide pact. The Villages is a retirement community the size of a small city; just 62 miles from Orlando, it is known as “Disney World for Old People." This geriatric theme park is home to 100k+ residents of varying twilight-ages, with it's youngest member bringing up the rear of the Baby-Boom generation at 55 years young. This pristine Florida gem features thirty-three sprawling 9-hole golf courses and is a virtual oasis for both golfers lovers and golf-kart enthusiasts. Over one hundred miles of cart path "streets" support the estimated 55,000 golf karts that reside within The Villages city limits - this is by far the most golf carts in any single city in the US. It sounds like paradise right? And It is... That is... except for ONE, very sexy, problem. A problem that's been recently plaguing residents after dark... some of The Villagers have gotten so caught up in the fun and fancy free life style afforded by retirement at The Villages that they've been engaging in hangy public sexual intercourse in open air golf-karts.

HARD FACTOR 2/26: Trumpdate, Elon's World, and a Fake Weed Syndrome
When you're Donald Trump, life is not boring, but some weeks are crazy even for him, and on those weeks, we like to give a 'Trumpdate.' This week, there is a new sexual assault accuser, Trump is beefing with large Knicks fan and tiny individual/Oscar winner Spike Lee. Oh yeah, also the North Korea Summit Part Duex is happening this week. Guess what, another Tesla caught on fire. After a man drove his Tesla into a palm tree in South Florida, probably as an ultimate tribute to former WWF heavyweight champion The Macho Man Randy Savage, the car would not stop burning. It caught fire a half dozen times and the man was trapped in the car because the doors open upwards. Also the group of nerds at the SEC is on Elon's ass again for his tweets. Doctors/quacks are claiming there is a new weed syndrome for chronic marijuana smokers, which are those of us that smoke 20 times or more a month. The syndrome is called Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome or CHS and can lead to "scromiting" which is intense vomiting while screaming. Good news though, you can reverse the affects of CHS with a six hour long continuous hot shower. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hard Factor 2/25: PETA in the Soft Corner, R Kelly Can't Make Bail, and LA News Anchor Goes Out in a Blaze of Glory

This comes right on the heels of them trying to take on Marty Mush over the treatment of his bird, Rudy.R Kelly wasn't able to make his $100K payment on his $1 Million bond. Apparently loads of overdue child support payments, and other terrible financial decisions, have left him far less wealthy than he should be.KTLA news anchor Chris Burrous has passed away after one of the most epic sex romps ever reported in detail in the national news.

HARD FACTOR 2/22: The Softest People of the Week ...
On Today's Hard Factor... All the Soft Pieces of * From the Week We are throwing anti-vaxxers right in the soft corner. Anti-vaxxers make vegans look like the Fonz. Shocker, there are a a ton of anti-vaxxers in Portland, Oregon. Hey all you anti-vax parents, give your kids vaccinations. Our ancestors have been working their dicks off to create these fucking vaccinations and it's a miracle they even exist, so stop spitting in science's face you losers. The man pictured above is an all time psychopath. A father of six asked this micro-penised lunatic to stop blowing cigarette smoke into the faces of his six kids who were all under the age of 10. A normal reaction would be to be slightly embarrassed and upset, not to get in your car and run over the entire family. This guy is not normal. He ran over the family and then threw the car in reverse and backed over them. Not everyone in the family died, but the mother did. There is going to be a lot of hard ones for this soft heartless prick in prison. Let's all find out where he's going and mail him a letter with no writing, just pubes. If you think that statue looks like Robert E. Lee, you're as dumb as a group of anti-vax vegans from Dunn, North Carolina that tried to set fire to it, to get back at the dead leader of the confederate army. It's actually a statue of General William Lee a World War II hero and pioneer of airborne warfare. The statue just happened to be located outside of General William C Lee Airborne Museum. I guess these soft brained morons missed the velcro shoes and zippers on General William Lee's flight jacket. Below is a list of other soft people. Who'd we miss?

HARD FACTOR 2/21: Jussie Smollett Is In Trouble, ISIS Lady Wants To Come Home, Coast Guard Guy Almost Killed You
On Today's Hard Factor... Jussie Smollett is officially in deep shit for filing a false police report claiming he was the victim of a hate crime, so either he is completely insane, or really really wants more fame, you be the judge. A woman who previously pledged her allegiance with the United States' biggest enemy, ISIS, says she wants to come back home to America. Sure, she could have changed and no longer a soldier of ISIS, or she could be lying and wants to come home to do some ISIS shit. Probably a good idea to not let her back in. And a Coast Guard Officer had some big plans, to kill every person on the planet. Thank God they caught this crazy son of a bitch, because from the looks of his arsenal above, he was going to make a decent dent. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hard Factor 2/20: Bernie Is a Runnin' Again, Ever Wonder Why There Are So Many Catholic Orphanages ?, Hottest Trend In High Fashion: Black Face
On Today's Hard Factor... I hope America is ready to feel the Bern, because everyones favorite grumpy politician has declared he will be in-fact running for president, again... that's right the 77 year old Senator from Vermont is back for seconds. If he wins the democratic nomination he will have to go head-to-head against DjTrump - which I imagine would play out a lot like a third Grumpy Old Men movie; a movie no one asked for, a movie no one wants. On Monday, the New York Times published an article about the “next big scandal” in the Catholic Church… and guess what, it's all about the priests fucking the churchgoers again, but this time it's about the secret children that they father when they do it - because while they believe in the holy trinity, unfortunately their faith does not extend to condoms. High Fashion racism seems to be in this SPRING, and why not, black face knit sweaters and sweatshirts with nooses-for-strings make a statement wherever you go, and that statement is that I have more money than brains and I will sue you if you touch me. Gucci's CEO Marco Bizarri made a trip to Harlem to apologize to the African-American community for the brand's insensitive but sheik black face pull-over which retailed for the modest price of $890. (pictured above) The ever trendy Burberry couldn't let Gucci have all the fun - this year during London Fashion Week the brand unveiled their line of KKK Noose Hoodies. Creative Director Riccardo Tisci claimed the hoodies were "nautical themed". Like that makes it better? Seafaring racists are some of the worst racists. Oh yeah and a ton of other shit.

HARD FACTOR 2/19: Venezuela Loves Socialism, FEMA Loves KARMA and Enormous Headed Lacrosse Player
Venezuela still has two presidents one has the support of the military and the other the support of the United States of America. Guess what side Hard Factor internet pundit Digger who lives by the motto "nothing much to say, let's ride" is on? Pamela Taylor the woman who once got fired from her government official job for calling Michelle Obama an "ape in heels," is back in the news for defrauding FEMA. It seems like Pamela Taylor took advantage of FEMA's "we can't vet everyone" during emergencies policy and collected some funds by claiming her West Virginia house flooded when it really didn't. Oh Pamela you rascal you. There is a college lacrosse player who is riding the sidelines because the NCAA can't provide a helmet big enough to fit his gargantuan dome piece. Alex Chu was able to get around this problem in high school, when he had a company cut apart and weld two of their extra large helmets together, forming one mega helmet, but the NCAA has a no limousine style helmet clause which is preventing Alex from getting on the field.
