You're listening to the best of the men that broken. Well, it's the holiday. This is the last broadcast I'll be doing before the holidays.

Usually, that means when we go on vacation, but Pat is here with me, Hi Pat. Usually, that means we screw off and we don't get anything done.

But we are dedicated to you. None of that's going to be happening. I wanted to go through some of the news. As a surprise guest, is Carl the ELF. Hi Carl.

Hey, Glenn. How are you? I'm pretty good. I'm pretty good. It's a surprise to have you here in the studio. I didn't know that you would.

You literally scheduled me to come in here. I thought the ELFs were all about magic.

Yeah, it's not magic. We can be up early for a very long commute. Your commute was long?

Yeah, it was freaking cold. Yes, I have. But at least it wasn't congested. Okay, Carl. I just have to do some news with Pat if you just want to join us for this.

Are you sure that wasn't you? Is he listening to this show? Is that what's going on?

Yeah, it's good that the Republicans are the fear mongers. Right. Right. Yeah. Carl. Yeah. Are you vaccinated?

No, you're not. No, I mean look, I'm begging for death at this point. You're begging for death. Yeah, I'm sorry. Are you guys slaves to build toys all year? I am. I know what that life is like. I didn't sucks. Yeah, I didn't think you were slaves.

I mean, you're you're up there in the North Pole. You're always seemingly very happy. Well, I guess you could call it indentured servitude that doesn't end. There's another way of looking at it if you want to make the holidays nice and warm.

Okay. All right. Well, thank you for chiming in on that. Here's the next story. And I hate to bring this to you, you know, so close to Christmas. But the FDA is going to permanently allow abortion pills by mail.

Now, this is coming from the New York Times. They have lifted all the restrictions that would make the abortion medication more accessible. 19 states have already banned telemedicine visit for abortion pills. And so women are going to have to travel to get their mail, I guess, in other states.

Wasn't that long ago that you couldn't get are you 486 anywhere in the United States of America? You're going to be able to get them in junior high. Yeah, and machines right. Yes, they'll have them good.
