Joe Biden says a lot of weird stuff, and the weirdest part is, most of it seems to be true. Remember when Biden told the story of his face-off with a razor-wielding gang led by a guy named CornPop? It turns out the story was true, and the media even tracked down CornPop, who died in 2006.

For some reason, video from that same campaign stop has surfaced over the weekend, and in this clip, Biden is talking about how the kids at the pool used to rub his legs and watch the blonde hair come back up again.

Jack Holmes writes at Esquire:

What the hell is this man talking about? This footage appears to be from the same 2017 event in which Biden recounted a poolside confrontation with a gang leader named “Corn Pop.” He remembered calling Corn Pop, “Esther” (???), and telling him to get off the diving board. Then they got in a near-violent altercation in the parking lot. What? Is this real, and if so, why would you bring it up next to an unrelated story about Biden’s time as a public defender? If that was a poorly crafted parable about race relations, it’s even harder to see the point of this story about kids touching his hairy legs in the pool. (Again, ???) This has nothing to do with Biden’s speech issues documented recently in an Atlantic piece by former Esquire editor John Hendrickson. Why is the former vice president telling this story? Does he realize it’s making people — like the young girl he puts an arm around at one point — uncomfortable and confused?

The video is making the rounds just after Biden made the news (and a lot of new memes) by biting his wife’s finger at a campaign stop.

Biden: “I got hairy legs that turn blonde in the sun and the kids used to reach in the pool and rub my leg down and watch the hair come back up again..and I tell ya what the men, the guys I worked with down here, they were all guys at the time” Yeah, totally relatable Joe! pic.twitter.com/amD4sRWN7M — Benny (@bennyjohnson) December 1, 2019

“The last time I asked whether it’s ageist to wonder how old you can be and still handle the rigors of running for and serving as president, some people got very mad,” Holmes adds.

Joe is compos mentis. He'd have seen the best neurologists and had MRIs by now and wouldn't be running nor getting big money from big donors if he had faculty issues. He's able to have arranged for Burisma scheme as well. We have years and years of Joe acting inappropriately. — Heather Champion (@winningatmylife) December 1, 2019

That little girl's eyes in the bottom left corner are basically saying that without me even having to click on the vid to hear the audio. Then when I clicked the vid and heard the audio.. it all made sense through that little girl's eyes. — Tim 'White Chocolate' Conneely (@TimGetsAwkward) December 1, 2019

I'm Donald Trump and I approve this message. <Roll clip/> — PEARLS FOR THE SWINE (@_PEARLSforSWINE) December 1, 2019

And here it is in cartoon form!

@svenstoffels I believe made it. Follow him & show him some love! — An0maly (@LegendaryEnergy) December 2, 2019

It’s because he’s senile. I am convinced it is a cruelty to allow this to continue. — James Hastings-Trew (@JamesHT) December 1, 2019

I do not think so. I honestly think he is fit, just weird and tired. Emphasis on weird. — Heather Champion (@winningatmylife) December 1, 2019

I would pay a not insignificant sum to be in the head of his campaign manager. — Tom Toth (@TomToth3) December 2, 2019

Someone needs to tell him to stop. He needs help. — ClassyFabGirl (@suzanne_fab) December 1, 2019

I think it's too late. He's buried himself already and it's been fun to watch. I sure do hope he is the lefts chosen one though. Trump vs. Biden debates would be awesome. — Beavers-Cavs-Dad19 (@CavsDad19) December 1, 2019

Biden would beat him like a drum, or so he says. But yeah, those debates would be straight fire.

OMG what the? Someone has to tap him on the shoulder today.

They need to tell him it’s all over and he can then fade away into the sunset and just wait for the FBI to investigate his and Hunters corruption.

The man has honestly lost all his marbles. — @chickybird949 (⭐️Rose?) (@chickybird949) December 1, 2019

I’m just to the point where I feel bad for the guy now. I feel like I’m watching people make fun of someone’s grandfather who’s suffering from dementia. — Ginja Ninja (@FatBaby3838) December 1, 2019

If he were't running for president, I'd probably feel the same way. — ACAB (@FlowStateATL) December 1, 2019

Yuck. I don't remember anything like this during my childhood. And if there was, I would have told my parents. — A Com News USA (@AComNewsUSA) December 1, 2019

Hard to believe he’s only a few years older than Trump. — Lo Keys (@LoKeys910) December 1, 2019

I read the transcript before hearing this. Thought it was a parody. This is very sad and should stop. — John McDonald (@jhnmcdnld43) December 1, 2019

It’s just Joe being Joe. This is who he is.
