This video is PEAK comedy gold. I felt this in my SOUL. 😂

“Can’t stand these fckn bicyclists” — my brother, you just narrated my morning commute.

He nails it: Grown-ass men in skin-tight neon spandex outfits looking like a pack of radioactive Power Rangers, riding three-wide like it’s the Peloton Championships on a residential road. No one’s handing out medals at the cul-de-sac, Kyle. You’re not transporting a heart for surgery. You’re just expensive, slow-moving road geese with $10k carbon fiber attitudes.

One? Fine. Eight? That’s a tactical formation. That’s how civilizations fall.

I’m honking, I’m crying, I’m in agreement. Save us from the Lycra Legion. He nails every reason I can’t stand the bicycle militia.

This is rich coming from her. Here's a personal story of the irony here: 2007, CH does The Tonight show w Jay Leno. She makes fun of Angelina Jolie & her newly adopted son, 3 yr old Pax, who is Asian.

CH: “He probably doesn’t even realize he’s Asian yet! He certainly doesn’t know he’s going to be a horrible driver… or that he’s going to be amazing at doing nails!”

The next few days there was plenty of outrage, disappointment & accusations of racism levied against NBC.

2 weeks later, I'm booked on The Tonight Show & I've already had my set approved. I was told, I can't tell any of my jokes because of the blowback of her hacky, racist jokes. Yes, I couldn't tell jokes about being Asian because she did so much damage making fun of Asians.

Then, weeks later of 2007, I performed at a showcase where CH was present. Prior to, I had never spoken to, met or interacted with her & as I was wrapping up my set, I mentioned her in the crowd? It's odd to see a comedian sitting in a showcase watching w audience, so I mentioned it in passing. She then yelled out "you're doing a great little Asian job".

MY POINT: I personally know Shane & Tony aren't racist. In fact, I don't think Chelsea is racist. Sure, she's got a long history of promiscuity, an affinity for day drinking, publicly stated she's prescribed a healthy dose of anti depressants, rumored to be awful to work for or with, has a punch card to a plastic surgeon, accused of punching down in her comedy, never been married or had kids & lives alone in her 50s, had dinner with Jeffrey Epstein but c'mon gang, she's not racist.

Looks like he slammed on his brakes and didn’t actually hit him

17 year old @PhilMickelson qualifies for the 1988 Shearson Lehman Hutton at Torrey Pines.

His swing is so elegant and supple, hitting it hard clearly wasn't a thing back then.

Joe Rogan just explained how one Lone Star tick bite ends your ability to eat red meat for life. Eat a burger for dinner. At 2am you wake up in anaphylaxis with no idea why. 450,000 Americans have alpha-gal syndrome.

The tick injects a sugar called alpha-gal into your bloodstream. Your immune system tags it as a threat and starts making IgE antibodies. The same alpha-gal sugar sits in beef, pork, lamb, venison, and rabbit. Every meal from a mammal becomes a delayed reaction three to five hours later.

That's why he's down to eggs.

Fish is safe. Chicken is safe. Turkey is safe. Alpha-gal is found in nonprimate mammals only. Old World primates lost the gene that makes it about 28 million years ago. Birds and fish never made it in the first place. So the only safe protein comes from species across an evolutionary line drawn before humans existed.

For some patients dairy goes too. Gelatin capsules and gummies go. The cancer drug cetuximab, manufactured in a mouse cell line, has triggered fatal first-dose anaphylaxis in alpha-gal patients. Pig heart valves have triggered reactions on the operating table.

Between 2010 and 2022 the CDC logged over 110,000 lab-confirmed cases. The actual number sits closer to 450,000 because alpha-gal syndrome isn't nationally reportable and most physicians outside the Southeast don't recognize it. A 2025 analysis of 114 million patient records showed mammalian meat allergy diagnoses rose 5,500% from 2015-2020 to 2021-2025.

Climate change pushed Lone Star ticks north of their Southeast range. White-tailed deer populations recovering from near-extinction and second-growth forests fueled it. Suffolk County, Long Island is now a hotspot. Martha's Vineyard hit establishment by 2014. Forestry workers in heavy-tick regions test 20-30% positive for alpha-gal IgE.

In summer 2024 a 47-year-old man in New Jersey died after what his wife later remembered as 12 itchy ankle bites. He had assumed they were chiggers. The autopsy went unsolved for months until allergist Thomas Platts-Mills identified it as the first confirmed AGS fatality on record. There are almost certainly more. The trigger food gets eaten three hours before the cardiac event, so nobody connects the steak at dinner to the call to 911 at midnight.

Eggs are safe because birds never made the sugar.

And folks still wonder how @RyderCupEurope have won 9 of the last 12 Ryder Cups....

[Love World Peace @LoveWorldPeace9]

This therapy may be able to reverse alpha-gal syndrome, aka tick induced meat allergy...

Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT) uses acupuncture in the ear, a single needle placed for 3-4, weeks to help the immune system "reset."

Western medicine isn't really sure how it works but there's some evidence that it's quite effective. (PMID 35003502)

126 patients treated, 121 (96%) reported symptom remission.

More studies are needed, but this is compelling data.

Red meat (beef, lamb, venison) and dairy + collagen are incredibly nutrient-rich foods that are vital for optimal health.

Not being able to eat these is a big deal. I hope this therapy is studied more widely and this information gets to those who are suffering with alpha-gal.
