Dr. Oz Goes To Wegner's? Or Did He Mean Wegman's? Or Redner's? In Bizarre Viral Video
A video television personality and Republican US Senate candidate for Pennsylvania, Dr. Mehmet Oz posted on social media in April 2022 has gone viral in August as Lt. Governor and Democratic candidate vying for the same seat, John Fetterman, turns the doctor's flob into fodder as campaign merchandise. "I'm at Wegner's," Oz says at the start of the strange clip filmed in a supermarket. He appears to have conflated the names of two grocery store chains — Redner’s and Wegman's — creating an imaginary third market called “Wegner's," the key word being imaginary as there is no Wegner's.

Pauly D Talked Inflation On Fox News And The Internet Is Having A Field Day
Memes are here. MTV's "Jersey Shore" star DJ Pauly D knows a thing or two about inflation: That it's getting out of hand. At least, that's what he told Fox News' Jesse Watters on a segment that aired last week, where he also shared his thoughts on when kids should be kicked off their parents' payroll, tough love and — of course — tanning. The 5-minute interview with Pauly, whose real name is Paul Delvecchio, aired in late April, but gained traction among the youth this week. And the internet can't get enough. Ah yes, the inflation guru: DJ Pauly D. https://t.co/a3Ah6oJ4NG — Jeff Dri…
