Sound the alarms. Alert. Alert. Darius, a continental giant rabbit. Is missing. It's believed to have been stolen. Of course, it couldn't have run away. No way.

It is the world's longest rabbit. Well, it was in 2010. Over four feet long. You see the picture of this rabbit. It's a mighty big rabbit. And you'd get a lot of stew out of that rabbit. rabbit. Oh, no, I mean, no, you couldn't cook a rabbit like that. The owner, Annette Edwards, from Worcestershire, uh, Stolton, Worcestershire, by the way, uh, to be specific, has offered a

thousand euro reward for his return. And it's a very, very sad day this past weekend when she went out to his enclosure, which is in the garden, and he's gone. Now, Darius is too old to breed. So you couldn't steal them for breeding purposes. I mean, you could and then realize, dude, why don't you hop to it? Get it? Hop to it, but he couldn't. So if you have seen Darius or know someone who has, you know, mistakenly taken the world's longest rabbit, you need to turn it in.

No, actually, it's not. There is a new layer in the earth. Apparently, innermost, which will soon be a movie, the Earth has another layer in its core. Wait, what? The science isn't settled? Yes, scientists have discovered yet another layer deep inside the core of the Earth. Now, this new layer is difficult to observe.

Its existence may point to an unknown dramatic event in Earth's history. Investigating the structure of the inner core can help us. understand more about Earth's history and evolution.

Okay, so it happened again. Swab accident.

puts $1.2 million into a customer's fidelity account. Uh, what? Every time we do these stories, you know, it's just incredible that people think they're going to get away with it because, you know, we talked about it. I would too. You figure, well, you know, you take a shot. What's the worst that can happen? So in February, a customer asked for $82.50.

$0.26. Okay. By accident, because of a software enhancement, they transferred $1.2 million into her account. So when the company finally realized, hey, that was a mistake. We are missing a little over a million bucks. And, you know, like almost, uh, 1.2 million and we don't know where it is. Oh look we put it into this lady's account down in

Louisiana. Huh. So they attempted to get their money back. She did not answer the phone. So they kept trying for a month and then they said, oh, we're going to file a complaint and we're going to get a hold of the sheriff's department and we're going to have them look her up. Yeah, they found her. They arrested her. She is now been arrested on charges of bank fraud, theft, and illegal transmission of monetary funds. Okay. You sent it to her. Why is that illegal for her to transfer?

Oh, wait, it's not her money. She transferred about $350,000 into another account and used it. Most of the money has been recovered. Most of the money has been recovered. I mean, come on now. So she transfers $350,000 into the other account. she bought a new car, a 2021 Hyundai Genesis sport utility vehicle, and a home. Bless her heart.

So they got most of their money back. It was your mistake over your, you know, software enhancement issue. You can't just let her keep the car in the house? Or maybe you just say, hey, sell the house and you keep the car. Sorry. Okay. I don't know. They, look, they, it's their money and it was a mistake.

And you know it was a mistake when you got it. Or at least, you know, you, you pretty much know that it's not the $82.50. And 56 cents that you had requested. Hey, is that, well, with inflation, my 82 bucks is worth a lot now. Yeah, it's not quite worth one point two minutes. million though. So now, that having been said, all right, she's now fired from her job because of this. Wow. And, uh, you know, she's not, of course, answering phone calls or answering emails to find out how she feels about it. But I just, okay, are we going to,

she deserves to lose her job over that? Come on now. Come on now. That just doesn't seem fair. And remember, Swab has, this isn't new for Swab. You know, remember, and then we had the big story from Deutsche Bank, where they inadvertently transferred 28 billion euros to one of its outside accounts. Eh, you know, I'm sure that that was just a software enhancement issue. But we've talked about it before. You know, it would be so, it would be so. difficult not to spend that money. Now really what she could have done and they probably

would have let her get away with that. The government doesn't let you get away with this but Schwab probably would have had you invested the 1.2 million, right? And then when they called and you just you know invested it so you, you know, even if you just put it into a interest bearing account and just take as much as you can for as long as you have the money. So when they They call and they say, hey, we realized we had a little software enhancement issue, and we erroneously transferred $1.2 million into your account. And you were only supposed to get $82.56.

Remember that? Back in February. And you say, oh, yeah, I was wondering about that. I didn't want anything to happen to it. So, you know, I put it in this other account. Do you need me to transfer that back to you? Or can I keep it? And when the guy who it doesn't have any humor at all says,

well, that's funny, man, but we're going to need our money back. Okay, no problem. Let me send you the $1.2 million. So whatever money you've made on the interest for that with the amount of time that you've had it is yours. And they get their money back and you can make, I'm guessing, I could be wrong. But I'm guessing between the time you got the money and they asked for it back, you know, maybe you don't take the first call. Let me wait until the second call.

And you take your, the interest that you make on that money is probably going to be more than $82.56. So you come out ahead and everybody's happy, right? No? They'd still want that money back. I know the government says, no way, right? If we've heard stories before where the government sends people, you know, the wrong amounts of money, and they try that. And they want it all back. They want the interest back.

They want it all back. That's the ill-gotten gains. Well, that's the government. Does Charles Swab the government? Well, maybe in today's world, they are. You know, maybe we'll get into that a little bit laid around on the show. But, I mean, you know, Netflix and Viacom and Amazon, you know, some stars all signed that big letter opposing voter integrity laws. so they certainly think they have the

the power of the government behind them. That's for sure. Remember, not too long ago, you know, just a few days ago, we were talking about the ever-given, the ship that, you know, had the Suez Canal blocked for almost a week. And so it has been seized by the Egyptian authorities. I mean, they just took the boat or the ship.

They're seeking 916 million. in compensation from the owners for blocking the Suez Canal. Oh, wow. So good luck. We're just going to take your ship. You know what? You don't have to pay us the 916 million, but we're just going to go ahead and take your ship.

Well, we're kind of like our ship back to... No, sorry, not until you pay us. It'll be interesting to see how fast they work out a deal. And they'll probably work out some kind of deal, right? The company will say, look, we can't come up with 916 million today. I mean, you want to cash? So, you know, we'll pay you over time, but just give us our ship back so we can actually make some money. So you'll, that'll be, that'll be what happens, I'm pretty sure.

But the good news is, is that U.S. consumer prices have increased the most in nearly nine years. Yay! Oh, that's great. Driving more than half of the increase, gas price. prices shot up almost 10% month over month. I don't want to, you know, don't, I don't want to bog you down with facts, but it was 9.1% month over month. And they claim that Americans are buying with gusto because the states have eased restrictions.

While at the same time, supply chain bottlenecks have led to lower inventory levels for businesses. Okay. So should be worried about inflation? Ah, no, stop talking like that. What are you out of your mind? Don't worry about it. We've got nothing to compare it against. People a year ago were, you know, we were simply not buying anything.

We were stuck at home, so we can't compare it to anything. It's fine. Don't worry about it. Oh, okay. Well, I mean, some economists are concerned that too much stimulus is going to cause, you know, an overheated economy. Oh, no. Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about that former treasurerary secretary who said, you know, what's being done is substantially excessive. Can we quote you on that, Larry? Yes, we can. What's being done is substantially excessive. Yeah, no kidding. Now, the Fed just, you know, they expect it's a temporary bump in prices. It's going to smooth out.

the supply chains figure that out. Oh, so the supply chains you're blaming on what? Oh, that's right. There was a ship blocking the Suez Canal with all those goods on it. That's right. Right. So the whole supply chain thing has been out of kilter because of the ship, you know, the one that was seized by the Egyptian government. Oh, okay.

All right, I guess if you say so. Did you know this? that more than 50% speaking of goods and services, more than 50% of the global market share for seeds, seeds, is controlled by Bear, DuPont, and Sigenta. Or I guess it's Syngenta, Syngenta, Syngenta, S-Y-N-G-N-T-A, Syngenta,

DuPont and Bear. So three corporations own half of the global market for seeds. Seeds. And a farmer's rights activist, are worried about the growing privatization of the genetic sequences of plant. What? Why would you be worried about? Nothing like that.

Stop it. It's fine. People are so crazy. It's so crazy. Did you also see? I'm just going down now. I can't. I can't.

So it's tech season. You know, I guess today is, if you're listening live, today is the 15th of April, 2021. So it's, you know, technically. tax day, but not really, because everybody's been pushed off. If you haven't been in some kind of disaster area in your state, you've got until next month, I think, and the rest of the people in all these disaster states

have got until June or July or whenever. They'll figure it out. When they come knocking at your door, that's when you owe them money. So they believe that tax evasion in the U.S. cost the government about a trillion dollars a year. Now, a decade ago, they claimed that it was $440 billion a year, so it's gone up a little bit. And they claim that it's not your everyday Americans that are causing this shortfall of government money being taken from you and me.

It is the wealthy Americans and large corporations. Yeah, it's the rich and the corporations, you bastards. you bastards you are costing the government a trillion dollars a year how dare you how dare you and you know we're talking about goods and services my daughter is going to be so bummed as so bummed as you may as well be too okay and you might well be as bummed as she is all right so you know the uh the bobo tea that i you know my daughter loves the stupid bobo tea and you get the extra large straw and you get the bubble and the T-lid and, you know, whatever. The Bobo supply chain is drying up.

Oh, no. The slurpable little tapioca balls? Yes, the supply train, because of the pandemic, is going down to nothing. There's a shortage. Right. So, 99% of the U.S. Bobo is imported from overseas.

Taiwan is the biggest supplier of the pre-made balls. but even U.S. shops that roll out their own pearls depend on tapioca starch from the cassava plants grown in Thailand. So good luck. Good luck getting your bobo. Bobo shops are going to be shutting down if they were trying to reopen anyway. And they're saying that it could take months to get the supply chain back. Wow. Just amazing.

I mean, we talked about the, we talked about the, the global supply trains for all the other stuff that's happening throughout, because of the pandemic, the, the semiconductor chips. We have the shortage of just, now the Bobo T.

We have the price of chlorine shooting through the roof. All right, because they're saying that, they're saying that they're, because of, there's a shortage of chlorine used to, you know, treat swimming pools. And they're claiming that, yeah, it could run out because, you know, the increased demand for residential pools during the COVID-19 pandemic and a fire at one of the largest chlorine plants. You're just that, you know, just wrecking one of the biggest chlorine plants in the country.

That may have had something to do with it. Really? Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy right now. So anyway, you know, we're just trying to get that chlorine back. And, you know, we may or may not be able to get that chlorine pipeline back up and running, but that means the price is going to skyrocket. And you know, as soon as we can get this factory up and running,

those prices will drop right away. Will they? And we have more food shortages, according to this. All right. It says in here, possible short supply as restrictions ease. Yeah, we're blaming it on. Oh, these states are opening up. And now we've got a shortage of food.

People were still buying food all through the pandemic. What are you kidding me? So they're saying bacon, hot dogs. Bacon and hot dogs, there may be a shortage of. What? People didn't buy bacon and hot dogs during the pandemic. So now this is a big surprise because the supply train has been squeezed? No.

Stop it. I won't believe it. I don't. This is just a way. to raise the prices. And it's working. You know what? We can't for the life.

We'd love to be able to get hot dogs to the grocery stores. But because states are opening up restrictions, opening up from their restrictions, people are out buying more. They might be buying more others selling up than buying the same amount of food. Come on. Now, they may even be buying less food

because they realize, you know, I sat at home and ate hot dogs and bacon. this past year. Maybe you ought to cut back on that a little bit. Come on now. Come on. Come on. Aren't you happy? Aren't you happy?

We've got a new administration in the government, the White House. Boy, they're just making things that much better, aren't they? Yes. Yes, they are. Yes, they are.

Wow. All right. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Desperately. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I'm going to have another sip.

Did you see where AP Stylebook has now told us that, and this is actually something they brought up a few years ago, too, for people not to use the term mistress for a woman who is in a long-term sexual relationship with and is.

financially supported by a man who is married to someone else instead use an alternative like companion friend or lover on first reference and then provide additional details so just on first reference when you're talking about someone who is a mistress don't call him that on first reference you know is provide additional details later my favorite there were some great some great comebacks to this. AP Stylebook posted this on their Twitter account. And the first one that I saw was, call them vice president.

I mean, that's not funny, and I didn't laugh at it at all, at all. Some others that came along wore sidepiece home wrecker. Just, you know, some of the things that you might want to call a mistress as you provide additional details later. One of my other favorite responses was obviously somebody at AP is banging a married dude. That's what they said on Twitter. I'm just repeating what is said on Twitter.

Okay. It's all I'm saying. I didn't, you know, not doing that. So apparently this has been kind of a thing with AP style book for a while. because there's no male equivalent. So we need to be nice about the female mistress or companion, friend, or lover, and, you know, provide additional details later because there's no male equivalent. Well, sure there is.

I'm pretty sure that, pretty sure, homewucker and sidepiece are pretty gender, gender even? Right? Those are gender fluid terms. Yes. You can be a side piece and a homewrecker, or a homewrecker,

and be male, female, or whatever, gender you want to be. It's the same thing, right? This is Harry. He's a homewrecker. This is Mary. She's a homewrecker. Both mistresses.

You can provide additional details later, right? Yes, I think so. I think so. I'm pretty sure that's the case. Also, I saw all these stories kind of tie in together in my mind. So, you know, if they don't tie together with you, sorry, this is my show and it's my mind. That's kind of a promo there. It's my show. It's my mind. David Hasselhoff's daughter is going to be Playboy's, Playboy magazine's first plus size news model. nude nude nude it's also news but she's going to be the first plus i'm already i'm torn over this whole

story she's going to be the first plus size nude model to grace the cover now i started doing a little research on haley hasselhoff and i know this makes it a surprise but she's going to be You know, on the cover of Playboy, Dutchlands may issue. And she thanked everyone, and she's deeply humbled and honored to be the first ever curve model on a European cover of Playboy. But she says, I am overcome with emotion around what is what this cover signifies for inclusivity and its greater purpose towards female empowerment. Well, you know, I started doing a little research on Haley. And while she is a plus model, she likes to call herself the first curve model. While that is the case, she's not what you would use.

She's not what you think of when you think of plus sized females. So it's a little misleading because if you go to her Instagram, yeah, you know, I get that she's, she is more of a curve model than a plus size model. But this gets Playboy off the hook, right? They're good with, you know, hey, we've, we had fat people on. I mean, plus size people on. And look, we got Haley Hasselhoff on the cover in Europe.

You know, we're promoting it all over the world, of course, because of dad, David. And so she's fine. We've already got that covered because she isn't really plus sized. she's more of, as she calls herself, a curve model. She's more of that. So congratulations to Haley and, you know, anybody that makes Playboy, you know, congratulations. You're doing a great job with your life. But I am just saying that she's not really what you think of when you think of a plus size model.

so congratulations Haley congratulations so an only fan's mom is getting in trouble getting a little taking a little heat because she enlisted her 13 year old daughter to take what's being headlined as raunchy picks of her well okay so she's got an only fans account and she said that she you know her teenage daughter 13 years old.

I mean, that's, you know, it's a little girl, but it's not a little girl. I get it. That's who takes the pictures of her. Now, she's a 40-year-old mother of five, and her children, you know, don't mind her showing off her body. I probably not because she's making a fortune off of,

you know, off of her account. I guarantee she's making a little cash on the only fans account. And why not have it? Stay in the family. let the kids take the pictures I mean come on now

so the people are a little upset at her about that but I'm torn I'm torn don't look at me like that I'm just torn she's not doing you know she's so she and she says raunchy picks while I haven't been

to Carrie's only fans account I'm guessing that whatever they are. It's not what, you know, it's not what they haven't seen when mom gets out of the shower every day. So she has the 19 year old or the 13 year old taking picks. She's got a 19 year old and 18 year old. Then she has a 13 and a 12 year old with the second husband and a 6 year old.

Wow, she's gone through a couple husbands. It's kind of a surprise. that she's gone through a couple of husbands. So the 19 and 18 year old are with one ex-husband. The 13- and 12-year-old are with second husband, and the six-year-old with the late X. So she had an X that died in her second husband. You can well understand. You can well understand why she has her daughter

taking the pictures up. Yeah, look at this. It says here. She's raking in, according to her. Now, I don't know. I don't know if this is, you know, she's saying this just for taxed purposes or not. But according to her, she's raking in $200,000 a month

on this only fan's site. Okay. All right. I'm good with that. I'm good with that. Oh, no, this isn't her. No, this is the other, this is the Christian lady we talked about. That's right.

the minister lady who decided, yeah, man, I'm a big fan of being a minister in church and everything, but I'm more of a fan of 200,000 a month by people looking at my pictures online. So she did that. But so it doesn't say what our girl is making, Carrie, having her daughter take those pictures. But, you know, come on now. If the Christian lady, the Christian lady's making a couple hundred thousand, you know that this, uh you know former uk pop star carrie katona uh is going to rake in more than that so she's doing okay so let's keep it in the family right am i right am i right of course i am i right yeah of course i am

you see where disney again these stories are all just kind of together you know mixed up with each other the disney adopting the gender inclusive costumes for the theme park staff oh that's so good of them makes me want to go to Disney even more. So they now are allowing cast members at its theme parks to show up to work, showing their tattoos and wearing whatever gender costume they like. We want our guests to see their own backgrounds and traditions reflected in the stories, experiences, and products they encounter

in their interactions with Disney. That's not what Disney was for! Okay, I get it. This is where we're living in a new world, okay? But they wanted to, you know, they're titling in a place where everyone is welcome. Well, it always was a place where everyone is welcome. But it was a place for you to go and get away from everyday stuff.

It was part of, I can't. I can't, I can't, I can't. I'm just going to move on from the story because I'm getting angry and I shouldn't get angry. should just be happy. It's the happy place. It's Disney. It's happy.

It's Disney. Courtney Stott. She has come out as non-binary. Good for you, Courtney. Good for you. She claims she's lived too long hiding from who she really is. Amen. Amen, Courtney.

Now, she says, and this is according to a tweet from her, they, them, theirs. I don't. identify as she or her. I've never felt like I ever fit in anywhere. I was bullied horribly in school because I was different. The other girls never understood me. I never really connected with anyone my age. My spirit is fluid with a kaleidoscope of colors. Oh, that's so special. Courtney, right? Courtney Stanton, good for you. Good for you. Good for you. I mean, it's good.

I know you never fed in. And, you know, I believe you. And, you know what? I'm going to go ahead and believe you that you were bullied because that's what you say. So I'll believe you. But, you know, I'm just happy that your spirit is fluid with a kaleidoscope of color.

That's really, really nice. And Jojo Siwa, you know, the dance mom. And I'm sure you catch the, you know, the dance mom star. She has now come out neither gay nor straight. She, while presenting the award for outstanding children's programming at the 32nd annual Glad Media Awards, during her speech, she told kids that they can be in love with whoever they want. She said that I recently just came out as part of the LGBTQ community. And I have the best, most amazing, wonderful girlfriend in the entire world who makes me so,

so, so happy. And that is all that matters. I think it's really cool now that kids all around the world who hook up to me can now see, I'm sorry, not just me thinking out loud. Let's go back to her, what she said. I think it's really cool now that kids all around the world who look up to me can now see that loving who you want to love is. totally awesome.

If you want to fall in love with a girl, if you want to fall in love with a boy, if you want to fall in love with somebody who is they, them, or who is non-binary, that is incredible. Love is awesome. You can be in love with whoever you want to be in love with and it should

be celebrated. amazingly, now today in the world, it is. Amen, Jojo. Amen. So McDonald's, McDonald's is mandating anti-harassment training worldwide. Ha!

Right. Okay. Good. They said that it's going to mandate. Mandate worker training to combat harassment, discrimination, and violence in its restaurants worldwide. Is that a problem at McDonald's? I mean, when you work at McDonald's, are you getting harassed if you're not working the drive-thru window? Are you getting harassed because you're the one making the French fries and not the burgers?

I just want my food, man. What are you talking about? So the training is going to be required for 2 million workers at 39,000 stores worldwide. It's really important that we be very clear. A safe and a respectful workplace where people feel like they're going to be protected is critically important for our business. I don't necessarily disagree with that. They're Chris Kemsensky, the CEO and president of McDonald's. It's just what society is expecting.

Yeah, it should be that way. You know what? You're right. I don't know that we need the training for that, but maybe we do. It should be right. I should be able to just go into McDonald's and say, hey, how can I help you today? What would you like?

Okay. It'll be this much. thank you have a nice day and that should be that should be it and then when the manager comes up and says hey there's stuff spilled there can you mop it up that's part of your job it shouldn't be all you're bullying me at work you're doing that you're only doing that because i'm the new girl yeah that's why i'm doing it yeah it's not because you're a black girl a brown girl a yellow girl a white girl a red and yellow girl it doesn't matter i just mop the floor so Anyway, congratulations.

Apparently, apparently workers have complained about unwanted touching. Well, that is a problem. That is a problem. Lude comments, verbal abuse, and physical assaults while on the job. Yeah, those aren't not good. However, let me say this.

You have 2 million workers at 39,000 stores around the world. I'm guessing here, but you're going to have a few problems. There's going to be a few people that, you know, fall through the cracks. So maybe if you have this training, it helps you out. I don't know. I don't know.

Come on. I know that, you know, we've had people complain about stuff happening at their stores. I get it. And their feedback. Especially nobody wants to be touched unwontedly or have lewd comments or verbal abuse or physical assaults while on the job. Actually, I would say that nobody wants that. to happen whether they're on the job or not.

That's, you know, just me. I figure that everybody is, you know, against unwanted touching, lewd comments, verbal abuse, and physical assaults, whether you're on the job or not. And some workers have accused managers of ignoring their complaints

or retaliating by giving them fewer shifts or transferring them to other stores. So, you bastards. Hugh bastards, we're going to fix that right now. You hear me? We're going to fix that right now. And one of the ways we're going to fix that is we're going to make sure that we have executives who represent us, which is why veteran CBS News executive Kimberly Godwin has now been tapped to lead ABC News.

She's going to be the first black executive to run a major U.S. broadcast news division. Good for her. Good for her. in February. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. CBS News has been tapped to lead ABC News. She was going to be the first black executive to run a major U.S. broadcast news division. Wait a minute. What I thought my man? What about my man?

Lester Holt. Isn't he in charge of NBC News? I mean, he does the NBC Nightly News and the Dateline stuff and his other special stuff, but I guess maybe he's not in charge of NBC News. Right? Because Rashida Jones, became the first black woman to head the cable news network at MSNBC, right? So, okay, I guess Godwin takes over ABC and they're calling that a, you know, major U.S. broadcast news division and not NBC. All right, I guess if you get that, all right, fine, fine, fine, we'll see.

Look, it doesn't matter if they can do the job, great. I don't care again. It doesn't matter. That's the point. Just don't do it because it's the right, the good thing, the good thing to do. Do it because it's the right thing to do for your company. You know, okay, just good for you. Good for you.

I mean, this is where we're at now is, remember the TV show Luther that Idris Elba did? And I love that show. It was great. He plays a, you know, detective. And he did it for, I think, four seasons. And the last season was a shortened season. And he, you know, I don't think he's ever going to go back to it, although he's been asked to do it a bunch of times.

I think he just got tired of doing that be in that character. And he's done a few other things to make him a little bit of cash since Luther. But apparently, according to the BBC's head of creative diversity, Ooh, his character falls short in the realness department. Wait, what? He's a black police officer? Yeah, but he doesn't have any black friends, and so it doesn't feel authentic.

And he doesn't eat any Caribbean food, so it's just not real. Wait. A fake character about, a on a make-believe TV show doesn't seem real enough okay all right thank you bbc's head of creative diversity thanks for coming along for the ride today ugh i can't i just can't have you decided whether you're going to get the vaccine or not i mean either way people are uh hardcore on whatever side they're on that's for sure i know

that we had, you know, we talked about the Asperazeneca issues with blood clots. We talked about the Johnson and Johnson issues with blood clotting or, you know, the presumed blood clotting issues. They don't necessarily know if it's the vaccine or not that causes them. Plus, there's all kinds of drugs that we take or that are on the market that cause possible blood clotting. And that's why you go to a physician and get, you know, get it taken care of so that they are prepared and have you prepared for anything that may or may not be an issue with whatever

medicine you're on, right? But it doesn't matter with the vaccine because now, you know, just get the vaccine, right? I mean, they're fine. They're safe. Stop it. Now, I think the Johnson & Johnson is still paused. I don't know about the AstraZeneca. That may be paused some places around the world.

I was real close in my mind to getting the Johnson and Johnson. So, you know, we'll see. I don't know where I'm at anymore with it. I really don't. I know that we have, you know, there's plenty of places now that are saying, we're not going to allow you to do things

unless you've been vaccinated. I mean, I know that they're, you know, made a big deal about the pass in Israel. And they're going to make sure that you, you know, have been vaccinated. They're going to have a vaccine, pass in New York. I know that

the league in the NFL here in the U.S. has vowed that no NFL employee would be required to get the vaccine. However,

if you don't get the COVID vaccine, you're going to lose access to the facilities and the players. So if you lose access to the facilities, the and the players, you really won't have any job, will you? Yeah, that's it, though. You just have to get the vaccine if you want access to the facilities and work with the players.

That's it. Now, they'd say there's going to be exceptions, and that would be if you can document some sort of medical or religious reason for not getting the shot. Okay, well, good luck. Good luck in having that done. You're going to have to jump through some serious hoops to prove that you are an exception to the vaccine mandate rule. That you just will. You just will, man.

It will have to be, what did they say, a bona fide medical or religious reason for not getting the vaccine. People are not happy about it. I know I saw one NFL wife saying that, we have pregnant wives. Wives are breastfeeding. Wives who have already had COVID. It's so dangerous to get vaccinated now. None of us are comfortable with getting the vaccine. None of us would be forced to do so in order to watch our own husbands play live. We're not forcing you. I don't know why you keep saying that. You could watch your husband's live on television at home. Not in these parks, though.

You can watch them anywhere you want. We're not telling you you got to get vaccine. We're just telling you that if you want to come in this particular place, and deal with any of these people that are working at this particular place that you need to be vaccinated. That's it. That's it. We're not telling you you have to get vaccinated. What are you, stupid? I mean, it's amazing.

It's amazing. It really is. And so now, I mean, I don't know. They're developing microchip. Pentagon says that they're developing a microchip that will continuously detect the virus in the body. So, let's see, they're attempting to develop a coronavirus vaccine that would protect recipients from all variants and add implantable microchip technology that could detect the virus in the body.

So they want to develop a coronavirus vaccine that would protect the recipients. from all the variants, I don't know that that's even possible. And add implantable microchip technology, I'm sure that is possible, that will detect the virus in the body. So do they wave, do they have a detection wand that they wave over your body? Oh, yeah, he's fine. I mean, it's Star Trek, right? I mean, it's, okay, it's good.

This is what's wrong with them? I got to fix it. Done. Is that what's happening? And so when they develop that, is that going to be for you and me walking on the street? Or is that just going to be for the military? So they'll say, we're not mandating it for everyone. But if you want to be in the military, you've got to get this vaccine and this particular microchip technology.

That's what will come first. No question. And look, we're not telling you that everyone has. to do it. But if you want your family to live on base, you know, to live on government property, while you're actually in the military, well, they're going to have to get it as well. So we're not telling you, I mean, they don't have to live here. You can have them live somewhere else off government property. But I mean, that's what's coming, right? That is what's coming. My gosh. Things are moving really, really fast, aren't they? They sure are. I mean, we can go, I could go down

the list of things that are that are going on in this country that it just seems like they're moving so fast and you turn around and something that you thought would you know used to take a while as being done or being talked about being done and it's just incredible and it's been since i mean things have been moving fast for quite some time now but they have really sped up since this new administration and i you know i know i try to stay away from politics on the show. But, I mean, this administration has really picked up the pace. And they need to, right? Because now they have, they have the House and they have the Senate with their vice president pushing them over the top. And if they get rid of the filibuster and they add to the Supreme Court and they've got to do it now.

Because everybody's concerned that, you know, in 2022, they're going to lose the House and they're going to lose the Senate. I don't even know that that's going to happen, to be honest with you. But things are moving pretty fast. So just be careful and love your family. Wow. That is not the way I thought about ending this show today. I'll tell you that. But thanks for listening to Chewin the Fat.

All right. I can't end. I can't end the show with that. So let's just end with a piece of information. Okay? This is something that I learned today. And you can give it to you for free here on Chewing the Fat, okay? Gore, G-O-R-E.

You know what it is? All right. It's the, do you know? Don't look at me like that. I'm just telling you what it is, okay? What you call, what you call the centerpiece between the cups of a bra. I know. I didn't know that either.

I just thought it was, you know, the centerpiece between the cups of the bra. But it's gore. That's what they called. All right, that's what they're called. And experts say, you know that a bra fits. when the gore lays flat against your chest. So now in the future, thanks to me in this show, you'll know that when you hear someone say,

well, if the gore doesn't lay flat against your chest, then that's a problem. You'll know that they're talking about the fit of your bra. I mean, you're welcome.
