Jeff: Three years later,

Mr. Dog Poop: Pre-COVID, it was 99 cents for eggs. Now it's $12 for eggs. Everything has doubled, tripled in two years.

Jeff: So, you think the taxpayers need to pay more money for food stamps as a result?

Mr. Dog Poop: No, I don't. I don't. I'm just saying the program is expiring now that the prices have tripled and now they're taking the money. They gave them extra money, which created the problem. And now they're taking away the money. So, if you're on Social Security, they increased your food stamps by $250. So, if you were getting $285 a month during the last two years for food, you're now getting $35. But everything's three times as much. So, why haven't you increased the benefits? Because you created this problem?

Jeff: Well, yeah. This is why the government shouldn't run anything. Because everything they touch is inflation.

Mr. Dog Poop: Hey, Jeff.

Jeff: It destroys Jeff.

Mr. Dog Poop: Jeff Macolino. I got news for you. The government runs this country.

Jeff: Yeah. And they shouldn't run charity. Look, and by the way, food stamp shouldn't be a lifestyle. It should be a safety net.

Mr. Dog Poop: It's a safety net. It is a safety net.

Jeff: Three years is a long time. I know people have rough circumstances. I've been in this situation having a child in college where they tried to say, you can get this if you make less than this, but if you make more, we're cutting your benefits. And I chose to say, well, screw, I don't want government handouts. I want to succeed as an individual. But so many people, they put a ceiling on them and say, you can't get a promotion at work. You can't get a better job, or we'd kick you out of your house. You don't get food stamps. And they can't afford it. And in fairness to them, they're trying to provide for their family. So, I don't judge them on that. It's just the government sets up programs to try to keep people down. It's a much longer discussion than what we have time for now. Now, I'm just saying the other factor is, anything the government does, legislates, becomes infinitely more expensive all the time. Everything. Every single thing. Go back to healthcare, college, everything. Everything the government tries to fix becomes out of control expenses.

Mr. Dog Poop: Because the Democrats try to fix it.

Jeff: No, they don't.

Mr. Dog Poop: They're throwing money.

Jeff: Democrats want to keep poor people under their thumb and needing the government to be their mommy and the daddy.

Mr. Dog Poop: First of all, there are going to be no more Democrats in Florida.

Jeff: The are no Democrats in Florida anyway.

Mr. Dog Poop: Florida democrats are now technically illegal. So, there's going to be no more Democrats in Florida.

Jeff: No. Stop. Stop. You're not going to make me cry. The government screws everything up.

Mr. Dog Poop: I am going to make you cry, Jeff. I'm going to bring up a Florida man story.

Jeff: Oh, here's joy. Wait, Jay Frog legitimately has a Nissan Rogue? Oh, no, he informed a Nissan Rogue driver. Okay. I'm like, that's weird.

Mr. Dog Poop: I actually don't think I have the story. We have a Florida man video. We have a Florida man on the truck video. Can we play that video?

[Video 1:00:26 – 1:01:27]

Mr. Dog Poop: So, we got this guy hanging on the hood of a truck. Florida man, hanging on the hood of a truck, punching at the windshield. You can see the windshield punched out and the driver of the truck is swerving.

Jeff: He trying to murder.

Mr. Dog Poop: Two trailers, trying to shake the guy off. So, he is got two trailers behind him. I don't know which is worse, right? The guy on the hood, or the truck driver that's going to crash two trailers full of probably my fryer that I'm waiting for.

Jeff: That is where your fryer is.

Mr. Dog Poop: My fryer swinging back and forth, trying to shake the guy off. The guy's punching the windshield, smashing the windshield. That's crazy that; that's Florida.
