On today's episode...

Today is the last show of the year for Hard Factor and the last show ever for Hard Factor with Barstool Sports. It's been an honor and a privilege and we have truly enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you to all of the Barstool employees that helped us and all of the stoolies that checked out our show. The show will go on for Hard Factor, every weekday morning, with no day's off starting Monday 1/4 everywhere podcasts are available, with the same name 'Hard Factor.' 

- To begin, the show Wes takes us on a run down of the current news related to COVID and the federal government including the death of a congressman elect and Mitch McConnell's new bill.

- Next up, Mark takes us on a year in review of the best Florida Man stories of the year as well as a few new ones. Also a first hand update on Majid “Magic” Esmaeili and Zaksee Parrot Conservatory in Tampa's status. Magic needs some help.

- Finally, Will runs through some quick crazy current news stories, reviews 'Death to 2020' and takes us home with some voice mails, reviews and a song.

Happy New Years Eve to everyone and have a great fucking day!

On today's episode...

It's WTF Wednesday which means all stories were listener submitted and they are all fucked up:

- It turns out the Satanic Temple which was deemed a church in 2019 is taking full advantage of that and The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 to perform religious ceremony abortions exempt from local laws and regulations.

- A 19 year old woman in Florida got arrested for DUI in Lee County after she drunkenly smashed her car into another car at 1:30AM last week. Police took her to the hospital to get checked for injuries where she then slipped her handcuffs four times.

- Nostradamus was a French doctor, and all around Gloomy guy who claimed he could predict the future in “Quatrains” - which are just 4 line poems. People are reading his poems for 2021 and saying he is predicting a Zombie Apocalypse, and a Famine in 2021. So not bad.

- You've all seen the video of the guy in the Circle K in Ohio get absolutely blasted with a Twisted Tea after being a racist dick. We play the video which you can see on our video podcast on youtube and discuss on the pod. 

- What if I told you that for the right price you could blow up an entire casino in Atlantic City, like push down the stick and watch it implode. So for around 6 years the Trump Plaza hotel and casino has been a vacant eye sore on the Atlantic City boardwalk and the city has plans to demolish it January 29th and the highest bidder gets to push the ignition. Currently the top bid sits at $175,000 and that money is all going to local boys and girls cubs of Atlantic City.

- A swan in Germany saw its life long mate fly into electric wires above train tracks and die like Brad Pitt in Deadpool 2 and lost all will to live. It just stopped flying and laid down depressed in the middle of the train tracks. It wouldn’t even move when people tried to shoo it away. The swan caused 23 high speed trains to delay for over an hour.

- A father in Sydney Australia that already had a broken arm suffered severe embarrasment after getting punched in the face and knocked out by a kangaroo in front of his family that he was trying to defend. That area of Sydney is now calling for a “Roo-Call” on kangaroos aka a roo cull or killing of kangaroos because they are all scared of catching that smoke.

- A Paraguayan soccer player 33 year old Raul Bobadilla got a little carried away after scoring a late second half goal last Wednesday giving his team Club Guarani, a 3-2 lead and eventual win over Libertad. Like most footballers the striker celebrated his goal by removing his shirt in celebration, but he didn't stop there and took his shorts halfway down as well warranting no discipline at the time but in review a three game suspension from the league as someone else in the same league pulled their cock out after scoring earlier this season.
