We'd love to talk. Business. And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Welcome to chewing the fat. How in the world are you? So Uncle Ben's, yes, Uncle Ben's rice products, has finally got the hit. And it's about freaking time. Okay? We mentioned it when all the Antimima stuff was going down.

Did they do anything? No. Well, they finally have. They are dropping. the Uncle Ben's rice products to Ben's original and they're dropping

the logo depicting a Chicago headwaiter as part of the company's previously plans to create a more inclusive brand oh okay so it took them all this time to figure out that they were going to still use the same blue font and

orange packaging and it's going to say Ben's original we're just getting rid of of a black guy on the cover. Oh, okay. Yep, I know. So I sure there's heightened criticism. When the origins are rooted in racial stereotypes, are they? Are they?

Mars Rice brand was named in the 1940s for Uncle Ben. Nobody knows if it's a real character or not. It's a product with a name. They gave it a story, a black rice farmer from Texas, renowned for his high-quality crop. It featured the face of Frank Brown, head waiter at an exclusive Chicago restaurant who posed for the Uncle Ben's portrait. I'm guessing he posed under duress. Because he never would have done that had he realized that the company was going to use his face on the product to sell the product. Wait, he knew that? Yeah, okay.

Oh, okay. I guess for some, it had overtones of servitude. Okay, did it? I mean, when you purchased a box of Uncle Ben's rice, and I have one in my cupboard as we speak, did you think, oh, there's that guy, it's got overtones of servitude? No, no.

Also, what's good is the privately held food and pet products company is also going to partner with the National Urban League and donate $2 million to a scholarship fund for aspiring black chefs. And the company will donate another $2.5 million to educational programs and food access efforts within the community of Greenville, Mississippi, where the products have been manufactured for 40 years. Yeah, employing people in this community hasn't been enough. Okay. All right. Well, anyway, like I said, they finally got the news. Thankfully, it's no more Uncle Ben's original. Okay? I don't want to hear it. I don't want to see it. I want it off the shelves now. It's just, I mean, it is Ben's original. Who, screwed that up. It's not Uncle Ben's.

It's Ben's original with no picture. So you can feel better about, purchasing rice. So did you see the story about the oldest living US Marine in the United States? She joined the Marines in 1983 and that's right I said she she trained at Camp Lejeune stationed at Quantico primarily in an administrative rule. She is 107 years old. That's pretty darn good. Now there was no mention in the story of her diet or what she's been doing and how she's been getting along, but you don't live to 107 without a little pain in your life.

So I hope that if she has a lot of pain, someone goes to her and says, hey, relief factor would work for you. Don't you know that? Don't you know that sergeant dot Cole? I hope she does. If she doesn't, somebody get her a message that she needs relief factor. Okay?

I mean, over 50 million Americans miss work due to pain. Obviously. And I don't know. I say obviously, she probably hasn't worked in a while at 107. But she might. She may still be working. And if she does, she could be in a lot of pain. So she probably needs relief factor.

Somebody should tell her, hey, dot, go to relieffactor.com and get yourself some help. You can get their three-week quick start for only 1995. 70% of the people who order the three-week quick start go on to order more. And I bet she would be in that 70%. Okay? I mean, really, of the people that are spending money on pain relief, 66% of them expect to live the rest of their life in some pain. Wow.

And look, I've been in pain with my knees and my shoulders and back for, you know, almost my entire life. My first knee surgery was when I was 14 years old, and that was back a long, long time ago. So I understand the need for some sort of pain relief, and that's where relief factor comes in. It works. It's amazing. Relief factor.

I take it three times a day. I've run out once, and that was a huge mistake. A huge mistake. Don't run out. Don't be like me and run out. I feel fine. Oh, I need relief factor for. Dummy, that's why you feel fine.

taking Relief Factor, oh, okay. So get yourself the three-week quick start and get yourself feeling better and out of pain with Relief Factor. Go to ReliefFactor.com. Get that three-week quick start for only 1995 and get out of pain today with ReliefFactor. Go to Relieffactor.com. I don't know about you, but I was concerned at the grocery store the other day because there weren't huge displays of canned pumpkin in the stores. And I thought, hey, is there a pumpkin shortage?

Well, I'm not alone. There were people all over commenting about, hey, how come there's a shortage on pumpkin? Of course there's a shortage on pumpkin. It's 2020. Guess what? Nope. No shortage. They just had a late crop.

Okay, there's plenty of pumpkin. Relax. You'll be able to get your canned pumpkin and enjoy it. There's nothing like sitting down to a brand spank a new open can, a pumpkin. Put a little whipped cream on that bad boy, and you're good to go. Or you can use it to make pies or whatever you want to use your pumpkin for. But there is no shortage. Okay?

Yeah. I know. I know. One of the farmers said, hey, don't worry about it. Sure, there was a late crop. Yeah, we're fine, though. and Libby's pumpkin scanning is good to go. Okay, we're processing.

We're just a little bit behind on our processing because of the late crop. All right? We planted late because of rain delays. So it's fine. They go on to say that, you know, sure, it's not an overabundant crop. It's just a normal crop. So there's going to be plenty of pumpkin for Halloween and Thanksgiving. So.

Take a breath and know that you're going to have your pumpkin by. So I see the headline Tommy DeVito died, and I thought Tommy DeVito, yeah, he was in the group four seasons. And, you know, that was ages ago, right? I mean, they got together back in the 50s under a different band name. I think they were called the Valley in the Veritones and the four lovers. And then in 1960, they created the four seasons. and he was one of the co-founders. Now, he hasn't been with them since 1971.

All right. Now, he came and came back when they had Jersey Boys, the movie, and, you know, Broadway was doing some stuff. But he hasn't been a part of the group, really, since 1971. And I thought weird. And I remember hearing that the one guy laughed because he couldn't hear anymore, he went deaf. Yeah, that's not what happened.

Okay? we find out now that he and he passed away all right and I'm sorry about him passing away it was 92 he died of complications from coronavirus you know it was sad and I don't want to see anybody pass away from anything but I was interesting to finally read a little bit of the story about what happened because the four seasons has always been you know their origins about you know being brushes with the genovese mob family and you know the drug addiction and you don't know Frankie Valley and you know he was in the he was in the Sopranos which means he was in a TV show about the mob so he had to know about the mob right and so he did DeVito left the group in 1971 and publicly they said it was a hearing problem wrong he had run up enormous gambling debts and and a tax bill and so they kicked him out of the group Valley and the other guy one of the other seasons or season errors, said, you know what, we'll pay the bill. So they got him, they kicked him out of the group. They paid his gambling debt, which I'm sure was to the Genovese mob family. And they saved his life, right?

They said, don't kill him, we'll pay him off. And they did. They paid him off. They paid the tax bill off, but they kicked him out, have a nice day, right? So I'm guessing that it's still the gambling thing may have been a little bit of a problem. because he was reported that he passed away in Las Vegas, Nevada. Now, I don't know. It's sure you could live in Las Vegas and not gamble.

Absolutely you can. But if you were known to have a huge gambling problem in your younger years, why would you be living in one of the gambling capitals of the world? Anyway, I just found that fascinating to know. that what the truth was behind him, I'm sorry, behind him leaving the group in 1971. Just struck me funny.

And of course they had the, they get together with defund the mob. I mean, with the brushes with the mob, they paid the gambling debts off. I was thinking about defunding because I was reading the Alyssa Milano story is just incredible to me.

You know, there was reported that she called 911. And because they, she thought she had, someone was shooting a weapon on her property. And, you know, they were concerned.

And I get being concerned, you know, someone's shooting a weapon off on your property. She lives in this, I don't know, acre and a half property, just north of L.A. It's,

you know, an 8,000 square foot, two and a half million dollar home, gated community, gated driveway into her property. I get that. I mean, for Alyssa Milano to only have 8,000 square feet worth two and a half million, kind of a dump, but I digress.

So they heard the gunshots, and instead of going out and checking out what was going on, it's reported that hubby calls 911. And again, I get it. She had a stalker before, and I'm sure she's had more than one stalker. You know, so it's, it's a, you know, a safety thing. However, however, the Alyssa Milano hypocrites, who have done nothing to promote the police department. They have done everything to rip apart the police department

with their hashtag defund the police movement decides the first thing when she needs help. She's going to dial 911 and hope for the police show up. Okay, and they did. Seven Ventura County Sheriff Vehicle shows up. One canine unit, a police helicopter. one Los Angeles fire department team.

I mean, they were, everybody showed up and good, right? I mean, that's what they're supposed to do. But miss defund the police. You're lucky they showed up. My friend, you're lucky they showed up. That might not happen, especially with seven county sheriffs, the canine unit, the police helicopter. I mean, the fire department, yeah, defund them.

defund them. No problem. A, if they have that at the ready, and B, do they want you to, do they want to show up at your place that fast? I don't know. I hope they do. I mean, that's their job, right?

But they did. And they searched the property. They were looking for this gunman. In fact, it was reported that they were looking for this, an older, 40-year-old man dressed in black. Oh. Okay. No problem.

And that's what they were looking for. Except, uh, no. One of the, one of the teenagers in the area was out shooting his, uh, air gun. And he was shooting his air gun at squirrels. And he witnessed the emergency response and said, Hmm, I wonder if they were looking for me. So he turned himself in. And he said, yeah, I was out shooting my air gun at squirrels.

So it wasn't an older man, it was just a teenager in the neighborhood. It doesn't say whether he was shooting the gun on Alyssa's property or not, but close enough for them to hear it, right? They only live on a little over an acre. Like I said, it's a dump. But my point is that Ms. Defund the police was quick to call the police.

And she took such a beating for it that she did an interview with Fox, which is surprising in and of itself, that it wasn't. And this is why she did it because she was getting beat up by many people who you know, I would say frequent Fox

News and the Fox Network that it was a neighbor who called the police. Oh! Oh, so the original stories where they were talking about you and your husband and how worried he was because you had a stalker

and they were concerned for your safety that they immediately called police. That wasn't true. Oh, okay, no problem, Melissa. You go ahead and keep with your hashtag defunding the police department, okay? Don't you worry about it? They'll come when you call. You know they will.

Right? Right. You know, throughout this pandemic, this lockdown that we've been in since, you know, the first of April, mid-March, you've found out who you. your local leaders are, I'm sure. And you've also realized that these people that have been put in charge that were elected, and you maybe didn't vote, or, you know, you didn't vote in that last mayoral election, you know, the city council, you missed that vote. And so you just, it's, you know, you just don't seem to care. Well, this is where, uh, these are the times when you realize

how important your vote is. Oh my God. I sound like Facebook. can't go on to any social media account with the register to vote you must vote you must vote that's another story but my point is is a story broke about Washington DC and the new plan called streetery winter ready now this was uh you know promoted by the mayor Muriel Bowser who has proven just what a smart cutting edge think out of the box leader She is. She announced that an investment of $4 million to help small businesses winterize outdoor dining areas and maintain outdoor dining operations in the district through the streetery winter ready grant program. So it's a grant. I mean, they're giving you the money.

Okay. And they, they're giving you the money. So there's restrictions on indoor dining. Restaurants are, you know, really struggling. And, you know, And so many restaurants opened up eating venues out on their sidewalks. They put in umbrellas and whatever so that they could be open and serve food, right? And it's outside. So the big deal is, you know, you're still social distance. If you're indoors and capacity is only 25% at every third table, whatever it is. And you have to wear a mask when you walk in.

You don't have to wear it while you're eating. It's just a little overwhelmingly stupid. Well, did you think it could get stupider? because it can't. They have this program, this street-to-e-eatery program, is going to help businesses winterize like it was reported.

So they're going to be able to let restaurants work with these grants to bring in tents, heaters, propane, lighting, furniture, advertising, marketing, and outdoor operational costs. They want to preserve dining in D.C.

Well, what they're doing is this, really, is they're creating indoor dining outdoors. So that's just the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Why not? It just seems like common sense that, you would allow these restaurants to be open. If you want to go into a restaurant, that is your choice. Now, if you want to give these restaurants grant money,

give them money to help create a better airflow inside. Look at their air conditioning system and or their heating system and their air movement from the kitchen to outside and the airflow from the front door to the back, back and vents to the front to the back so that you're creating an airflow because the whole point of not allowing COVID to get in you is that you're outside, right? But now we're going to pretend that we're still allowing people to eat outside only inside. Wow. Wow. Just dumb. Dumb is what it is.

I just, it's the only word that characterizes the streetery winter ready grant program. Dup. All right, let's go to the break room and get something ice cold to drink and refreshing. And full-sized today, by the way. Yes, I found some in my local area. The regular 12 fluid ounces. All right, so a clickbait story is one that would say, let's say the headline says,

a Florida woman has been accused of driving a motorized shopping cart through Target, drinking wine, eating sushi, and cinnamon roll. Now you think to yourself, that's a story I want to read. At least I would. That's a story I want to read. So I click on it. Although, because you think to yourself, wait, so what? If I'm shopping at a target and I'm on a motorized shopping cart or I'm pushing a cart,

if I want to eat something, I eat it. And you leave the package in the cart and you pay for it when you go through the line. That's the way it works, right? I mean, who among us has not done that? Don't tell me you haven't eaten something and put it in your cart to pay for it later as you go through the line and it's already gone. You just have the packaging. I mean, that was the deal. That's the deal with produce, right?

You can, that's tough because you have a banana or you have grapes and you're eating the grapes. And since it's, you know, you're purchasing the grapes and other products by weight, it's tough to. to purchase them later. But you still, you know, you kind of add maybe, you know, you four apples in a bag and you eat one. Well, you know, then you add another separate apple at the end, right? You pay, you put three on the scale, and then you take one out of the bag and you put one more on the bag.

That's how you pay for that. All right. Of course, you would never just throw the apple core away and not pay for it. That would be wrong. Anyway, uh, so there's, There's the headline. And you think all of those things are going through your mind. You're like, oh, there's a great story.

What happened? I want to know what happened. And they have a mug shot up as part of the story when you click on it. And then you see the headline is a Florida woman has been accused, right? Well, why is the mugshot say Atlanta, Georgia? That's because it's not a real story. And it's very disappointing. It's a story you want to be real, but it's not.

And it's a, they go back and they show you, you find out that it's an old picture. and it's an old, these websites are really doing a disservice to great stories. And that bumps me out because I really wanted that story to be real. And I wanted to be mad at Target. I wanted to be mad at the people who would be for not sipping some wine and eating some sushi and cinnamon rolls while she's shopping at Target. And plus, I mean, is it? you're drinking wine eating sushi and cinnamon rolls that doesn't sound too good together wine and sushi sure cinnamon rolls no that does not sound you add cinnamon rolls to that i love cinnamon rolls i'm a fan

i know that comes as a surprise i'm a fan of cinnamon rolls just not while drinking wine and eating sushi but anyway i i just i just be careful websites are putting out those clickbait stories and And we all get caught and it's very disappointing. It's very, very disappointing. I know. I don't look at me like that. I mean, you should be able to peruse your way through a grocery store and or an all-purpose target. And if I'm done, they're the ones that put the groceries in the store.

And I'm hungry. I've got the cart. And I want some crackers and maybe some cheese and a soda. You know, I'm good to go. Well, that's, you should be able. you're allowed to do that. And I say you should be. I've never had a problem.

I mean, I've grabbed sodas and stuff like that and drank them as you're going through the store and just bring them up as you go out. I mean, people, all people put stuff in a shopping cart and they think it's their stuff as you're going through the store when technically it's not. Right? I mean, that's the argument, too, of you eating and drinking things that you put in your shopping cart. because technically it's not your product until after you pay for it. But, you know, that's a good legal argument of making the food in whatever you put in a shopping cart as your property. Right. So silly.

Thank you. Hear that sound? That's the clock ticking on the Ellen DeGeneres show. I thought that maybe her, you know, this first week and the opening monologue would buy her a little bit of time. But I think I was wrong. I think I was wrong there. And I'm right at. she's done it's over right we've already seen the headlines now that opening

monologue gets slammed for being completely tone deaf and so they're giving her hard time about that doesn't seem authentic Ellen's statement was tone death it was just incredible that she got beat up for that and I didn't think it was that bad because she's a comedian too or comedian or whatever you want to call her so I mean she's got to be kind of funny that's what made her famous right well then we get the story. We get the story the next day that talks about Ellen DeGeneres is already getting annoyed

and how nice she has to be on set. So, I mean, the story is that now everybody thinks they can come up and talk to her and tell her things and, you know, silly drama and she's not going to get any work done. And they go running into her office and talk to her about everything and complain about little things. And she has to be nice to them. Well, I would say a couple things to that. No. That's why you have an assistant.

And you create that little wall between you and the workers. I know that sounds evil, but that's the way it works. But right now, maybe she can't. So she's, you know, been put in this vulnerable situation. okay, all right, no problem. So she's getting beat up for something that, you know, isn't, we don't even know if it's really happening, right? We just know it's being reported from a source

that she's getting annoyed because everyone thinks they can walk into her office and complain. So her days are numbered. I'm right. This proves it. This first week is going to be, I mean, I'm big on on watch your face

Drew Barrymore taking over the Ellen DeGeneres slot and so last week was her first week. She got great press I talked to you a little bit about the fashion statement she needs to make like get away from what she's wearing but the breaking stuff this week

is just let the show kind of go the second week. Let Ellen have a little bit of the heat and let her get beat up and then come back strong at least if I were you know part of the Drew Barrymore marketing team. They can call me. I'll help them out. But, you know, they probably don't need my help because they've already listened to the show and they know what they have to do to bring down Ellen and it's working. So I'm telling you, I believe that all along, I was right. The clock

is ticking on the Ellen DeGeneres show. And you heard it from chewing the fat first. So you remember the clock? Maybe ticking on the Chicago mayor too, Lori Lightfoot, because there's another mayor of a major city that has proved just what a smart, forward-thinking person she is over this pandemic. But anyway, so the other day, I see a headline that says, Live Now, Man on Horseback, Leads Police Chase in Illinois. That's the only headline I see.

And I laugh, and I joke, there's a little snapshot, and it looks like, you know, the same horse that the census cow was riding. Remember the census cowboy from Chicago? And I laugh and I and I and I tweeted out. I quote it. Is this the census cowboy? I'm thinking that it wasn't. You know, it was just a stupid little joke of somebody, a man on a horse in Illinois. I didn't even know it was in Chicago. And it's come to find out it was the census cowboy. He was taken into custody after his horseback protest on the Dan Ryan Express. breastway. Wow.

He was holding a sign. Cars and tow were reading signs with kids' lives matter. He said he was riding his horse, a new new, the major thoroughfare to bring awareness to children, which is good, I guess. But did he really bring awareness

to kids? Kids' lives matter while riding his horse new new on the Dan Ryan with people holding up traffic and nobody even in the original breaking story didn't even mention that it was the census cowboy tried to make a statement it was just guy on a horseback yeah guy on a horseback I was just really really weird really weird and I you know I guess I you know good for him that he's able to you know, get out there and make a little noise for kids because kids' lives do matter whether you're on horseback or in a car.

Whatever you're riding, it does make a difference. Kids' lives do matter. So just a reminder that if you want to communicate with the show, you can always email Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. I was reading a story about Gwen Stefani the other day, who, well, they were talking about the truth about Gwen's plastic surgery, and I'm fascinated by, you know, people getting a little

work done. And you know, my theory, three cuts to clown face. So, you know, these people were, you know, making the case that Gwen has had all this work done. And she still looks pretty good, actually, for the work that you think she probably had done. Now, according to this story, it looks like she's had cheek filler, rhinoplasty, smooth out the bump, on the side view of her nose, a Botox to drop her upper lip to reduce her gummy smile, lip injections, and a chin implant. Now, another doc, a cosmetic and laser medicine expert,

noted that it appears she's had Botox to soften her crow's feet and lift her brows and may have also had lip augmentation. Now, they also give the disclaimer that, look, it is her makeup and lighting. The plastic surgery, well, it certainly filters as well. You know, it's whatever she may or may not have done, she's a beautiful person, and it's definitely hard to deny that. So with all that, see, that's still, that's why I was thinking of,

you know, changing up my three cuts to clownface because you could do so much now that doesn't really constitute a cut. Or does it? And then I get an email, so, funny that was how that happens. I got an email to Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com telling me that they had just finished a Helen Hunt movie called I See You. Now, that was out before the movie that got me realizing that Helen Hunt was in big trouble

called The Night Clerk on Netflix. Okay. So it wasn't too far before the night clerk. I mean, ICU, I think, was... in 2019. If I remember, right, we can look at the old Helen Hunt IMDB page and

see what that is. Nightclerc was 20-20. I see it was 219. Yeah, yeah, okay. So it was pretty close. Within the three cuts to clown face stage. And the email from

well, we'll just say he, her, she. I don't think T strong as you know I don't know what they identify as so we'll just say an email

said that they just finished she was laughing saying that I'm wrong Helen Hunt is Groot if she were two or three cuts to Clown Face it wouldn't be so bad Cloudface would be an improvement I know

and if you're getting that from the movie a year before night clerk oh boy because night clerk was not good not good at all and i'm sure that she's had you know there's cuts there's cuts going on not only cheek filler and you know botox to you know drop the upper lip and reduce the gummy smile maybe some lip injections but you start talking about chin implants and rhinoplasty, those are cuts. The Botox I'm giving you aren't cuts, but it does delay the clown face. But it doesn't, I mean, it helps, right?

I mean, obviously, if you could do it and do it safely, you'd do it. Everybody wants to look better. I get it. But, you know, when you start implanting other than just injections, now you're talking about cuts. and you're well on your way. Three cuts to clownface. And we may have breaking news before this podcast ends today

because it was announced that the grand jury announcement for Breonna Taylor would be announced today this afternoon. And we've got a reporter in Louisville. And, you know, at the History Center, Museum in Frankfurt. So, you know, I'm just saying we were there. Remember we told you yesterday that they, have everything boarded up and are ready for people being a little upset. They've got federal buildings boarded up and people getting ready to burn down the house in

Louisville, depending on the outcome of the grand jury. So we're going to find that out today. We don't need the sounder because there is an actual breaking news right now. But it's possible before this show ends that we have breaking news on the Brianna Taylor case, the officers charged or they want them to be charged and went to the grand jury. So we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. You know, one quick thing I wanted to talk about today that I haven't had an opportunity to get to yet is movie theaters.

Do you know that the stories are surprised? Like people aren't coming back to movie theaters. Really? Duh. You drove us into the house. You told us we couldn't go into the theaters, and now you want us to think it's fine? I mean, I'm okay with you going to the theaters. Go, I don't want to go to begin with.

I wanted the movies in my house. So you people have effectively, and I say you people, I know it wasn't the movie theater industry. They've been hanging on by their fingernails for quite some time. And those fingernails are definitely bending, if not having a few already broken, because they're talking about the numbers are not good for any of these big movies. I mean, they're happy with, you know, small outcomes. And it's incredible, right? I mean, it's just, I don't know, it's incredible that they thought that, hey, the theaters are open and we've got these huge movies.

We're all going to go back. Oh. Okay. No. What's going to bring in the money is let me watch these movies in my home. And I know you movie theaters don't want to hear about it. and I'm okay with everybody going to the movie theaters to see these movies, but even prior to the lockdown, I told you how I wanted the deal done.

You didn't do it. You came close. You made a worst deal than I would have made for you. But you made the deal so that I can watch these movies in my home. Okay? So let's get them to my home. You already realize Hollywood movie industry that you need viewers. Okay. So don't talk to me about, oh, the movie theaters are limping along and we're trying to get these big movies and why aren't people going to the movie theaters?

Yeah, I know. I know, Mr. I know it's extraordinarily challenging marketplace. Well, I realize that, but it's going to be less challenging when I get to watch it in my house. Okay? So let's make that happen. Let's move up the page. just a little bit. Okay. Thank you. And just a quick update on bears killing humans. Yes, a grizzly bear has Malden killed a hunter in an Alaska park this past weekend.

Rangel St. Elias National Park and Preserve, America's largest national park in Alaska. Guy was on a 10-day moose hunt and he was not bear aware. So if you're out in the parks, be sure you are bear aware. This public service announcement is brought to you by Chewing the Fat. Chewing the Fat is a podcast on the Blaze Podcast Network.

Well, we have no news when a COVID-19 vaccine will arrive. They're already downplaying the fact that it may arrive before November 4th. but we do have a new way of detecting or at least attempting to detect COVID-19. Finland at Helensky Airport is using dogs to sniff and see if you have COVID-19. It's called Wise Nose, a smell detection agency. They have 10 dogs, four per shift. Apparently there's a study that the dogs can detect COVID-19 with about 100% certain. tea. Huh. Isn't that interesting? So they are, if you're tested, you're also going to receive a

conventional check to make sure the animals are accurate. So if the dog says, hey, this person smells like COVID-19, then you get a test to see if the dog is right. I guess what you do is you swab your skin with a wipe, which they then drop into a cup, and they give it to the dog in a separate booth. Okay. And so they want to protect passengers' anonymity and also protect the dog handlers.

Anyone who test positive will be sent to an information point at the airport. So they want to protect your anonymity, but if you test positive, hey you, fat man, you tested positive. Go over to that booth. Get yourself tested again. We want to make sure

our dogs are right. Okay? Pretty. credible, if that's true. According to the program, they can train the hounds to sniff out the coronavirus. I guess it's being run with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine

in Durham University with funding from both the government and the public. So that's good news. That's good news. Dogs can sniff out COVID. Soon, we'll have dogs sniffing out everything.

You will not want to see dogs. and they won't care about your anonymity. I guarantee you that. It'll be the dog coming up, sniffing you, and you being thrown down the COVID-19 escalator to get retested and be contact traced and get the hell out of here. I'm just joking. I would never do that.

My gosh. Wow. And, of course, with COVID-19 on most people's minds, the CDC has released their holiday rendition of coping with COVID-19. So let's start with Halloween, shall we? Many traditional Halloween activities can be high risk for spreading viruses. There are several safer alternative ways to participate in Halloween. If you may have COVID-19 or you may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19,

you should not participate in in-person Halloween festivities and should not give out candy to trick-or-treaters. There's some lower-risk activities like you can carve or decorate your pumpkins with members of your household and displaying them, carving or decorating pumpkins outside at a safe distance with neighbors or friends. You can decorate your house, apartment, or living space, doing a Halloween scavenger hunt where children are given lists of Halloween-themed things to look for while they walk outdoors from house to house,

admiring the Halloween decorations at a distance, having a virtual Halloween costume contest, having a Halloween movie night with people you live with, having a scavenger-hunt-style trick-or-treat search with your household members in or around your home rather than going house to house. And that's special. And that special.

I think it is. I think it's really special. So don't do Halloween. no trick or treating don't do that don't go out and participate in a holiday that is Halloween a holiday

I guess don't participate in this event where they want everyone to wear masks and the event is wearing a mask I mean I told you I told you they weren't going to let it happen

just no way no way they let it happen it's just ridiculous that we're being asked to forego events that bring people together and share their lives. Everyone could do their own thing carefully. You realize that.

One of the things they talk about is not sharing masks. Okay. Raise your hand if you ever in your life thought, you know, they tell us to wear a mask. Okay, I'll just share it with Bill, my accountant. Nobody thinks that. Why don't they have to say that? It's just dumb.

We are, this is the dumbing down of America. Every single day is just, I cannot believe what I'm seeing and reading every day. All right, let's go to Thanksgiving. What do they say about Thanksgiving? You can have a small dinner with only people who live in your household. Oh yeah, thank you. You could prepare traditional family recipes for family and neighbors, especially those at higher risk for severe illnesses.

and delivering them in a way that doesn't involve contact with others. Just throw it over the fence. Having a virtual dinner and sharing recipes with friends and family, that sounds like fun. Just, you know, you can Zoom or Skype or FaceTime with your aunt that you've already Zoom or FaceTime or Skype 8 billion times in the last six months. You can watch sporting events, parades, and movies from home.

Yes, you could, except there aren't any. parades, which is a Thanksgiving Day event, which is great. Now, you're going to be able to see the flying turkey in the air in Manhattan, but just in a block radius are going to be up in the air, you know, held down by golf carts. We already learned that. Oh, it's just incredible. I don't know.

This doesn't surprise me. And yet, it does. And as long as we're on the CDC, I mean, they posted stuff on Friday about how you, catch COVID-19. It's airborne. It's not airborne. Then they changed it this weekend. I mean, we need to make up our minds, please. The director, or deputy director of infectious disease, said, oh, it was posted in error. Unfortunately, an early draft of a revision went up without any technical review. So the CDC is just allowing, you know, Betty to post stuff with without any kind of review.

Just, oh, you know what? This is a new, looks like a new study. Yep, post. That's it. What's that, Doc? It's wrong? Oh, what's that? This was just a preliminary email that we were getting ready to have in drafts to send out if needed.

Well, I just figured it needed to go up. So I put it up. Oh, okay. Thanks, Betty. We appreciate it. All right. We do have some breaking news. sounder, that means there's breaking news. And of course, that means that when, as always, when

CTF records, news happens. So when you hear that sounder, there is breaking news here on chewing the fat at the CTF headquarters. Let's go to our man on the street who is in Louisville, Kentucky right now as we speak. Jeff, how are things out the street? Where are you and what's going on? Well, I'm fine. Jeffie, right now I'm fine. I mean, Louisville has been bracing for this Brianna-Taylor announcement. Right now there's a state of emergency declared by the city and the police department. There's a curfew imposed. Roads are closed. Crowd control barricades. Businesses boarded up and the National Guard has been activated. And we have an announcement from the grand jury. I'm going to have to give you a quick announcement from the grand jury. Otherwise, I'm going to be kicked out because

here comes the police and the regular city workers who are asking me, I'll be right there. I know I have to leave. I'm just doing a report here in front of the courthouse for the grand jury. Okay, so just leave me alone. I want two of the fat. This is two of the fat show. All right now. I'm on, I'm live right now. So, uh, only one officer of the three has been indicted in the Brianna Taylor shooting death facing charges of wanton endangerment. Your question is exactly right, Jeff. Uh, first degree wanton endangerment. Uh, It sounds like it could be big trouble for this particular officer. You never want first degree wanton endangerment.

Hey, this is Jeff Fisher reporting live from Louisville. They're kicking me. I'm moving right now. I'm doing a live shot for chewing the fat, okay? So back to you in the studios, Debbie. I got to go. I'm leaving. Get your hands off of me.

Okay, thank you. Thank you for reporting live. Breaking news here on Chewing the Fat. Of course, Louisville, Louisville. Louisville. Bracing for a big trouble as a state of emergency has been declared by the city and the police department, curfew imposed, road closed, crowd control barricades, businesses boarded up, National Guard activated, and we'll see what happens after one of the three officers

have been indicted with first-degree wanton endangerment. This has been breaking news on chewing the fat, of course. When CTF records, news happens. And when you hear this sounder, that means there's breaking news. Good day.
