He's still out there doing stuff. I just did a search about McGruff, the crime dog.

Remember McGruff?

He is? He's still doing stuff.

Wow.

He said he's more, he's part of the National Crime Prevention Council.

He would have aged out.

Me too.

His focus has shifted to address issues.

Sorry.

He has a wider scope or a narrow. I think they wanted him more narrow now. Okay. All right. Issues. They don't want him out on the streets right now. And they shouldn't. Yeah. He's focusing on internet crime. He put his time in. Identity theft. Yeah. Yeah. He doesn't have to be out there. On the beat. It's a big mess. He's going to take a bite out of Internet crime. Internet crime. You know what's crazy, though? I was doing this research. I'm not kidding. The guy who did his voice for a long time. You know why he stopped? Why? Went to jail. Brent. No, he did. Are you serious? He did. Okay. Like 10 years, yeah. A literal bite out of crime.

Like, but...

Like...

Like... Oh, he did. Are you serious? He did. Okay. Like 10 years, yeah. So.

A literal bite out of crime.

Like, McGre.

It's so, so disillusioning to see McGruff himself taken off.

I am a believer in Jesus strongly. So is a producer Sherry. This is what we do here at the station. It's about him. I do appreciate a lot of atheists, though, who are really honest about some stuff. And one of them, I was just reading this. He's really famous. He's passed away now. His name is Richard Rorty. He used to be at Stanford and Yale and blah, blah, blah, blah. He's a leading atheist.

But he acknowledged something that I think is really interesting.

He said, hey, look, when it comes to the idea of human rights, which I'm really thankful for, that doesn't come from atheism.

That comes from Christianity.
