When I got a great deal on a great gift at Winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. At just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious wool throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss?

Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at Winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners, find fabulous for less. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So it's kind of a sad day around here. The inventor of McDonald's Happy Meals just died.

Dead at 87 years of age. I should do a retro, but I won't do a retrospective. I'll just give you a little tidbit of Yolanda Fernandez di Caffino. Yolanda Fernandez di Cofino. She's from Guatemala. Anyway, so I'm not sure that's pronunciation or that sound is correct. How to pronounce her name. But she came up with the idea for the children's meal back in 1970 or in the 70s,

maybe not as far back as the 70s because McDonald's didn't start the happy meal until 79 here in the U.S. But she came up with the idea creating the Ronald menu that, would eventually become the happy meal. McDonald's Guatemala said it deeply regrets the sensitive death of its president. So I'm not real sure what that meant. I mean, I guess we're just sorry that she passed away. But they said that without a doubt, it's one of the most difficult and sad moments for the family,

the company, and its thousands of collaborators in Guatemala. Okay, no problem. Now, originally, McDonald's Happy Meal came with a hamburger, small fries, and an ice cream sundae. I'm good with that right now, to be honest with you. Let's bring that back. Maybe we had to do that in honor of Yolanda. Just an idea.

I'm throwing it out there for you, McDonald's. Now, they had also, in the version of the Happy Meal, the first one in the U.S., we started, America said we got to give the kids a toy. and that way we can sell the you know the deal with to toy companies and then to movies and everything and make a fortune but they did

they had to have the McDonald's toy they had come with a toy and it also gave the parents the option of ordering a hamburger with or without cheese it's the fourth most popular item on the menu

in today's world happy meal roughly 30 no oh that's not 32 that's 3.2 that still seems low 3.2 million happy meals are sold oh every day okay that that seems possible that that seems like that that's that seems like that's guy could be done is it jeff because that's what's being reported yeah that seems like it could possibly be true three per second every day that's pretty good i'm saying that's a pretty good deal McDonald's is probably going to keep the happy meal around. So Fernandez DiCofino was introduced to the idea of hosting children's parties.

It was her idea to give kids parties at McDonald's. And her contributions to the McDonald's restaurant chain, she's won the Ronald Award twice in 1980 and 1982. She's also won the McDonald's Golden Arches Award. That's the highest award the chain gives to it. employees. Yolanda's an employee? I thought she was like the McDonald's person of Guatemala. She's an employee. So she's just, she's just a lady at a working at the Guatemala McDonald's. Come on now. Right. I mean, she's just a cog in the McDonald's machine. What? All right. I

That ticks me off now. That ticks me off. She created the happy meal. She created bringing kids in for parties. And she's just, she gets the highest award that an employee gets. Okay, we've got, we were going to do a little investigation into Yolanda

and find out what the heck is going on. I want to know more about Yolanda Fernandez de Cofino. That's his former owner of Guatemala's first McDonald's. So she wasn't just an employee. It's just that McDonald's well, we got to give her something. All right, give her the employee award. She'll be happy with that.

Anyway, Yolanda Fernandez de Caffino dead at 87 years of age. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Okay, so I'm not sure how I would handle this, and this is something for you to think about if you were to find this out. So health authorities in Spain are blaming human error for the switching of two baby girls in a maternity ward 20 years ago. So the mix-up came to light after one of them discovered through a DNA test that, hey, these people aren't my parents. and so

then they went to the hospital and they said oh man that was look at that you're right that was man did we hate that person but it was dude it was all human error and we you know what

we haven't been able to find out who to blame ha ha ha ha it's just somebody somebody screwed up so apparently they were born five hours apart and since they were born five hours apart and since they were underweight,

they both were placed in incubators. And so then when they got the kids out of the incubators, they gave them to the wrong parents. I mean, we're to assume that that's what happened. Unless one of the parents went in and said, ooh, I don't like that one. That one doesn't look like me. I want the other one.

Give me that one. Yeah, that's my kid. I'll take that one. I mean, that could have happened as well. But we don't know. We don't know. The hospital doesn't know. The Spain medical is.

Association doesn't know. I think that's what they're called, right? They're the health chief of Spain and the Medical Association. Same thing. So they're saying now that the woman, now 19, who discovered she'd been given the wrong

parents, is demanding compensation because right now $3.5 million will make it better. Oh. Okay. The other woman who was handed to the wrong parents

has been informed of the mistake. It doesn't say what happened, what the other person is doing. Now, for real, what are you going to do? I mean, the people who raised you are your parents, right? They're just not your blood. So do you, and it's not their fault. They raised you as their own.

You just had to go out and get that silly DNA test and find out that they weren't your parents. Maybe she's probably, and she's probably, and she probably needs some kind of blood transfusion or something and some bone marrow thing and dad was like, yeah, let's go. And then you can't do it, you're no match. So that's it.

Have a nice day. Get out of here. So $3.5 million. Does that mean they both? I mean the other one, there's nothing in there about the other one, what happens? And is $3.5 million enough? I don't know.

and I would say My first reaction to 3.5 million Would be No You know what would make it better I'm 19 years old And someone screwed up 20 years ago You know at least 10 million makes it better

10 million an apology All right 15 million Because you got to give You got to give your folks 5 million Because you're dumping them Right The people that raised you You're like ooh you're not my parents

I'm done with you. No wonder I didn't like you to begin with. I didn't want to be here. Yeah, I'm out. But I'll give you $5 million of my $15 million. I'm deep in 10. We're out of here. Now, the other one, what's the other one do?

I mean, and what are the parents? Do they're out of a lot of money? Man, somebody owes somebody a lot of money. Because 3.5 does not even begin to pay for the suffering that I've been. through. We have to follow this story because I want to know how much this family

gets. Both families. Because the kids, the parents, and we have to find someone has got, someone needs to be held responsible. Got to find out who the deal. You know it was the nurse is already dead. Some old nurse that died 10 years ago and she was old

and haggard at the time. working in the incubators for the kids, the little NICU units, and his ass is yours. And they'll blame it on her. Yeah, she just gave you the wrong kid. Sorry. Wow, that would.

I don't know what I'd do. I mean, you love the kid you've raised. For real. Now, you love the kid you've raised because you've raised them as your own. And now everybody knows that you're not. Wow. That is...

That's really sad. But 20 million. All right, 25 million will make it feel better. I'll get over it with 25 million, okay? And I don't want to have to pay for health care anymore from your health care chain. If something's wrong with me, I'm coming right in. In fact, that room right there, that one's mine. When I get a little cough, that's my room.

I'm in there, okay? If I ever come down with, I'm getting right in, okay? All right. We have to talk a little bit about the dumbing down of human beings in America. All right. And it's a sad day, really. Years ago, we, on a show called Pat and Stu, we used to do a segment called Russian dash cam videos.

And we did segments of people all over Europe. and really in America too, but mostly all over Europe, getting hit with cars, and you'd watch it on the dash cam, and we made the joke of no one was killed in any of the videos, and you saw great crashes and people get hit. But the reason all these cars in Russia and Europe had these dash cams is because people used to do insurance fraud claims, and they would walk out in front of people's cars and pretend to get,

oh, oh, oh, you hit me. And people would be backing up and, oh, oh, oh, my leg, my leg, and they would sue the insurance company for money. So they all put dash cams in so that they could avoid getting sued by people trying to, you know, scam them by getting hit. So in Slidell, Louisiana, I'm not saying that I'm not casting any aspersions on people from Louisiana because it could be, you know, dumbed down criminals in any state.

This just happens to be in Louisiana. I mean, it's no Mississippi, but it's, you know, it's Louisiana. So a man tried to walk behind a Tesla. I guess he thought the person who had a Tesla had some money. And, oh, oh, you hit me, you hit me, you hit me. Ow, ow, ow. Only he didn't realize that, you know, Tesla has cameras on it. That's what they do.

There's cameras all around on the Teslas. And so there's video of him not getting hit by the car. and just falling down and yelling that he was hit. So it's kind of the dumbing down of American. We have to figure out a new scam, okay? You ought to already know that. That scam's been pulled. Now, maybe you'll work out something new, what's possible?

And you know what? You just have to pick the right car. Right, after you can't. And they all have cameras. Remember, we just had the, did we talk about it or not? I don't know that I ever talked about. We had the guy that took the vet for a drive, a test drive after it was fixed, and he ended up racing on the interstate with another car.

You know, I watched that, by the way. And I hope that guy still has a job because I don't think he deserved getting fired. We didn't talk about it because I remember talking about him. They replaced it, right? The car dealership gave the guy who owned the car a brand new car. You had a brand new car because this mechanic raced it on the interstate for a few seconds.

Give me a break. He was doing 148 miles an hour in it. Oh my gosh. That's what you want. He was there to test drive the car after it was fixed. And he got off on the right exit. He didn't go out of the way. I'm telling you, the fix was in.

That was a realized. That's why that's like the, you know it'll make this better it's $25 million will it okay you know right you shouldn't have done that okay back to my original point

everyone has a camera there's cameras everywhere you're on you're on film everywhere no matter what you do you're pumping gas you're robbing the old lady in front of Walmart

wherever you're at there's a camera all right you gotta upgrade your thinking on how to scam and get some money out of people because you're on camera. They just watched a video earlier today about a jewel thief saying that he fired his gun at a jewelry store. I didn't say anyone was hurt. He just fired his gun.

That was the story. So it must have been in New York. A gun was fired. And he got away with 100,000. I looked at the video of him. Now, I'm pretty sure that if you, and you could quote me on this, if you, if you're, If you know him, you know him. If you know who he is, you know who he is.

But he's got a hood on and he's wearing a mask. I mean, he's thinking of personal other people's health. That's for sure. Because that's the kind of mask he had on. But, you know, he's going to get away with it. Now, you know, he's thinking there. He knows there's cameras. Maybe that's the lady throwing eggs at Larry Elder.

She's wearing the gorilla mask. He doesn't want people to know who she is. You got to upgrade your thinking a little bit. You got to know that. you're on film at all times. That is actually a good rule of thumb. Always believe you're on film.

Always. Don't ever think, it's my privacy and they shouldn't be not in today's world, man. Everybody's got a camera. Look at all the footage we get from people's door cams and garage cams

and car cams and butt cams and every other damn in America. Yeah. That's right. You didn't see the butt camp once? No, you should go to buttcamp.com.

Hey, welcome to buttcap.com. I mean, we see them. There's cameras everywhere. It's my point, okay? All right, we'll move on. You get my point. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately.

So good. Did you see where Steve Burns? Remember Steve Burns, the guy who played, well, Steve on Blues Clues? Nick Jr. Don't look at me like that. You remember Blues Clues and Nick Jr. Hello. Well, he left, right?

I mean, Steve just left. I mean, the show was top of the world when he left. and he, I guess, is coming back now for the anniversary. And I guess it's been, what, 25 years or something like that? Wow. Since Blue's Clues? Is that right? That can't be right.

25 years. Is that right? Yeah. 25th anniversary. Wow. Okay. So anyway, he's coming back to explain why he left. and Nick Jr. tweeted it out.

I have not listened to this. This is two minutes long. It could get agonizing, so we may have to cut it up. But Steve is going to explain to us why he left. And I thought he, didn't he get busted in the park, you know, touching himself in the park? I think he did. Or he got busted with a bunch of drugs or something.

Are those just urban legends? Okay, maybe they are. but that's what I remember hearing. So anyway, let's hear what he has to say, why he left. Hi. You got a second? Oh, my, it's like 80 now. You remember how when we were younger, we used to run around and hang out with him and find clues and find clues.

I did. I do remember. I do all the fun stuff. And then one day I was like, oh, hey, guess what? Big news. I'm leaving. This is my brother Joe. He's your new best friend.

and then I got on a bus and I left. Yeah, that's when you got busted for a bunch of cocaine. And we didn't see each other for like a really long time. Yeah. Can we just talk about that? Yes, that's what we want. Great. Because I realized that that was kind of abrupt.

Yeah. Are you out of prison now? Went to college. Oh, that was really. Okay, stop for a little moment, please. Okay, that's what we're going to call prison. Went to college. Yeah, clown college.

All right. Go ahead. Go ahead. Don't start messing with clowns, man. I love clowns. Challenging, by the way, but great, because I got to use my mind and take a step at a time, and now I literally am doing many of the things that I wanted to do.

Are you? And then look at you, and look at all you have done. Yeah. And all you have accomplished in all that time. Zero, but go ahead. Oh, he's not talking to me? Right. I mean, we started out with clues.

Right? You know, it's what? Student loans and jobs and families. Probation, that kind of thing. It's been kind of hard. You know? Yeah. I know you know.

I do. Right. I do. And I wanted to tell you that I really couldn't have done all of that without your help. You're welcome, and I know that. And in fact, all the help that you helped me with when we were younger is still helping me today. Oh, my gosh. That's so nice.

And that's super cool. I guess I just wanted to say that after all these years, I never forgot you. Oh, we don't forget you either, Steve. And I'm super glad we're still friends. Yeah, me too. You look great, by the way. Thank you.

Don't be using my line. That pisses me up. He's using my lines like that. Oh, you look great, by the way. Don't be using Jeff Fisher two of the fat lines. Don't do it. So anyway, Steve is back for their 25th anniversary. And we're going to get a bunch of bull crap.

The guy has done so well. And he wants you to know that he's doing things he wants to do. He's going to come back and do the 25th anniversary for Blues Clues to make a little extra cash. I guess why not? I guess the real story or the story he likes to tell is that he left because he was losing his hair too fast. And he didn't want to go bald doing Blue's Clues. So that may actually be the truth. And that might not have been his choice.

Nick Jr. might have said, Steve, you're out. Okay, we're not having a baldy run around here with a blue dog looking for clues. That's possible. And if you look at some of the pictures as the show progressed,

he needed some keeps.com desperately. But, and I don't know, I thought, who was the guy that got arrested for playing in the park? I'm asking. Well, pee-wee was in the adult theater. No, not peewee.

Herman. He got a raw deal. I love Pee Wee Herman. I love Peewee Herman. That was ridiculous. The amount of payment he had to do for that. Peewee's Playhouse was a genius show. Genius. One of my favorite segments of all time is in Peewee's Playhouse.

That was the theater he was in, right? The Peewee's Playhouse. Yeah. If it was in today's world, he could just be home online and nobody would know. Back in those days, he had to go to the theater to do it. Unless you were, you know, you get tired with magazine, so you had to go to the theater, okay? It was just the way it was.

That's what my grandfather used to tell me. Anyway, so Peewee's Playhouse, he had one of my favorite bits in Peewee's Playhouse was the foil collection. And he would get a piece of foil from something and he would go, oh, what other piece of foil? foil, it would be a really tiny piece of foil. And he'd go to the window, and this giant roll of foil would roll up to the window.

And he'd just paste the little piece of foil on it. And then it would roll back. It's just a funny bit. As long as we're talking about pee-wee, I'll move on from Pee-wee's Playhouse. It's fine. But speaking of P-W-A-P-W-A? No, P-Wee. California.

Now I can't stop thinking about Pee-wee's Playhouse. All right. California, they're going to have a new law that is going to outlaw stealthing. We're talking about, as long as we're talking about peewee and peewees. Stealthing is removing a condom without permission during the act. So, I guess you got to, you're going to have to ask permission. That joke we did, we made the bit a long time ago about having to ask for permission every single step of the way. I mean, that's turning to be fact. I mean, every step of the way.

So it doesn't change the criminal code, according to Governor Gavin Newsom, but instead it would amend the civil code so that a victim could sue the perpetrator for damn. including punitive damages. So if you were to have been stealth done and then you have to sue because you can't ever be clean again, what would make you feel clean again? $10 million? Okay. All right, good.

I'm guessing, and it's just a thought. I don't know this, but if you're a stealther, You may not have 10 million laying around. I don't know that, though. I don't know. It's very possible. I don't know that. But inside the story, it talks about them getting help and having support from the erotic service providers' legal educational research project.

I've never heard of the erotic service providers legal educational research. project, but it said that it could allow sex workers to sue clients who remove condoms during otherwise consensual sex. Okay, that makes sense, I guess. I don't know that that would work out well for the sex workers, Your Honor. I have the support of what is erotic service providers legal education? educational research project. What is that?

Eslurp? Islurp? Nah, nobody. We won't call him that. That's just mean. Never mind. That's fine. Never mind. Are you going to sue if you're a professional sex worker? You're going to sue the guy?

I mean, you might, if you don't beat his ass or hers. Sorry, I don't mean to be judge, whatever, whatever pronoun you want to use. You're a professional sex worker. You can be whatever you want. But you're going to do some butt-beat. There's other jokes in that, too. Let's move on away from that. According to this also in this story,

it talked about how the state senate moved to treat the rape of a spouse the same as the rape of a non-spouse. The bill removes an exemption to the rape law if the victim is married to the perpetrator. So wait. They want to treat rape of a spouse the same as the rape of a non-spouse. First, I'd like to say I thought rape was rape.

I'm not really sure what that is. And I'd like to know what the difference, how they treated that. Because, I mean, people have gotten into trouble saying you can't rape your wife. A lot of people disagree with that, saying that you can't rape your wife. I'm just saying, according to this, they're going to treat it different, and you're going to be able to be treated the same if you're married to the perpetrator.

It's still a rape. So in California is one of 11 states that distinguish, oh, here we go. It sounds distinguished between spousal rape and other forms of sexual assault. why the bill supporters said the distinction lingers from a time when women were expected to obey their husbands man you do not get those

days back oh just stop don't look him it's just a joke no it was just a joke I was just kidding really silly it was just a joke

stop looking at me like that hack the holidays with the PC Holiday Insiders Report. Try this PC Porchetta. Crackling, craveworthy. You gonna eat that? Who are you? I'm the voice for the next ad, car commercial.

But I noticed that show-stopping roast and... Help yourself. Mmm, designed for indulgence. Precision crafted to navigate every corner of my mouth. All for just $18. Okay, okay. Try the season's hottest flavors from the PC Holiday Insiders Report. Please feast responsibly.

So I see this story about Timothy Armstrong. He was issued a criminal citation for public intoxication and disorderly conduct following an in-air disturbance aboard a flight from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City. Now, the guy is clearly intoxicated. I just saw a video that we talk. These airlines, man. this guy was really drunk and they wouldn't let him on the plane. Now, remember the day when you could just get drunk and get on a plane and fly?

Nah, I don't either. But it used to be able to at least pretend you could get drunk and get on a plane. Why do they sell alcohol airside if they don't want you drunk on the plane? I'm just asking, you know, for a friend. So this guy starts growling and barking on this plane. Nobody does anything. If I'm on the plane, I'm telling, dude, sit down and shut the up. I'm going to say something.

I'm not just going to sit there. So I see this news report, and they're talking to this guy. I guess his name is Dennis Bush. I guess that's his name, because he's the guy that says in the news report. I started filming. It makes me think I know now why you didn't say anything. Go, display the report. Now, now.

Watch as this belligerent passenger argues with a pilot on this American Airlines flight from LA to Salt Lake City. They brought the pilot out. The passenger then appears to stumble backwards through the aisle, and put his face mask over his eyes before shouting... You'll find it! Really? Once seated, the passenger appears to growl, snarl, and chew on his mask, physically agitated. That's awesome.

He was swearing, he was yelling, he was flipping them off. Dennis Bush was connecting through LA from Hawaii and started shooting this video after the first incident halfway through the flight, directed at a woman seated nearby. He started saying that that wasn't her seat, that they didn't belong there, and the couple was of Asian descent, and...

Oh, stop right there, wait, just a moment. Dennis, it's very uncomfortable. and the couple was of Asian descent, so it had to be some sort of racist attack. It couldn't be just a drunk on a plane. All right, that ticks me out. But go ahead. It's a fact of the story, Jeff.

Go ahead. She started to cry, realized this was going to be more than just one racist outburst. Bush says the passenger then directed his anger toward the flight staff repeatedly getting out of his seat to confront them. Each time that he got up, you could just feel the anxiety

in the whole cabin as everyone kind of tensed up not knowing how about you stand up yourself really asked us to to not engage and I think um everyone could just see okay stop that that that would not happen on fisher here uh we have a passenger a non-ruly passenger barking growling and snarling at uh at other passengers you're allowed to get up and kick his ass go ahead set him down come on now Hello? Hello? This is Fisher Air Pilot. Satan?

Go ahead. Kick his ass. Have him bark again. I am in love with Satan air. I might have to turn Fisher Air. Now just Satan is the pilot. Yeah, it's Fisher Air. Satan is the pilot.

And he'll take care of it. I mean, I'm frustrated because I believe that there's no way anyone could hijack a plane in today's world. At least I used to believe that because I think people are drunk and hollering and they're pissed and they've had to wait in the airlines

and it's not all the passengers' fault being frustrated with these airlines. Yes, that's right, Mr. Flight Attendant, you heard me. It's partly your fault too or your company's fault for overbooking, for being delayed, for waiting, for dissuade,

for deciding. I mean, there's other issues just than passengers. But I think. So let's just say that the guy is drunken out of control. Okay, I got you. But no one does anything. No one stands up, does anything.

They're asked to disengage. I don't think that would happen. I don't think it would happen. Maybe if they were like Dennis and they were upset and worried, then it's possible that someone could hijack a plane in today's world. I still don't believe it. I don't believe if someone tried that in today's world, we wouldn't let it happen. And I know we're 20 years out. Today is the 9th of September, 2021, two days, two days, away from the 20-year anniversary of 9-11 and the 18-month anniversary of

the pandemic. The coronavirus, COVID-19, SARS-V-2 pandemic from the world. World Health Organization. So, I mean, the celebrations are in order all around. Everybody, party and have fun. At least, at least this weekend, we'll be able to say our prayers and remember 9-11, and then let's play football. We've got that going for us, so we're good to go. and today, for those of you listening live on the 9th,

we have our president, Joe Biden. I try to back off from politics a little bit on chewing the fat, but he's giving us his six-point plan, and we are going to be saved from that. You can count on that. Pudding. He's going to be, it's going to be agonizing. And he's going to be able to say that he got everybody out of Afghanistan.

They've announced that they're going to go ahead and let the final 100 or so people that they claim are the only Americans or allies left in Afghanistan that want to get out are going to get out. It's funny because there's multiple flights with thousands of people on lists to get out of that country. Yet all we care about is just this hundred and we're to believe those are the only hundred to get out.

Interesting. That's interesting, Mr. President. It's interesting. But you go ahead and claim. whatever you want to claim today, because you can count on him claiming success today. It may not have happened exactly as we planned, but we were in a 100% agreement that we needed to get out of Afghanistan, and we got out, and now we're 100% out,

and were there a few mistakes made? Yes, but we're looking forward to the future, and we're out of that damn country as it is. Oh, okay, thanks. Now, I want to give you the six-point plan of, I should have thought about what my six-point plan would be from Joe Biden. Everybody wears a mask. We'd like to get this masking thing stopped, but it's, we can't.

We've got to get climate change under, we've got to get climate change fixed. We've got to get, we've got to get, to do with the masking, we've got to do some, oh, I can't mandate federal governments, but more and more companies need to mandate being vaccinated. We've got to get you vaccinated. Got to get people vaccinated. We've got to get people some extra money in their pocket.

So I'm going to need a few billion here and a few billion there and a few billion there. You know what I'm tired of asking for it. So what I want you to do is just give me the go-ahead to just give the money where I want to give it, when I want to give it, and how much I want to give it. Thank you. Good night, everybody. My name is Joe Biden. It's putting time. It's the matcha or the three ensemble Cicot of Cephora of the FACET that I just

deniches, who energize o'clock? Mm, it's all right. The form of standard and mini regrouped, what? And the embellage, too beau, who is practically pre to donate? And I know that I'd

I'd love these Summer Fridays and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. I'm just the most ensemble, the Cado of the Feds the Fesferra Category, yeah, CIFRA Collection, and other, part of Vite.

Procurre you, Cepore Newmeree for a All right, just some quick COVID headlines. I know it's not headline Friday, Fat Pile Friday, but I looked at my list of stories underneath Corona and it's growing longer every day. And so I just want to get rid of them today, go with some headlines, just some things you need to know under the coronavirus heading. Hospitals, some hospitals in the United States are growing close to reaching full capacity as COVID-19 continues to spread. And soon officials could be making choices about who gets an ICU bed.

That was Dr. Anthony Fauci who said that. So soon, not right now, but soon, hospitals could be making choices about who gets an ICU bed. Now, there's plenty of people, plenty of stars, spokespeople for the masses, saying that if you're unvaccinated, you shouldn't be allowed. to go to the hospital. You shouldn't be allowed to get medical help. I would like to say, I almost said F, the real F you.

This wouldn't be the first time on this show, I know. But I would really, seriously, Joy Behar, Jimmy Kimmel, and plenty more in other stories. Again, listen, if you're unvaccinated, you should seek, you should be able to be able to go into the hospital. You're unvaccinated. F*** you.

What hell do you think you are? That's what hospitals are for. I really... I will say? No, I won't say that. We'll just go back to headlines. We'll go back to coronavirus headline. American Airlines, Alaska Air

is going to stop company pay protections for unvaccinated employees, though. So if you're unvaccinated, you don't get... No, no, no, not going to be any health benefits or... No, we're fine right now. I mean, the list of companies requiring vaccines get longer every single day.

And a Vietnam man was just jailed for five years for spreading coronavirus. I don't know if he did that stealthing or if it was just him spreading, because I have to actually open the story to tell you what he did. So, okay, I will. I'll bypass the. the headline here and see exactly what he did. He was convicted of spreading dangerous infectious diseases. One day trial.

People's Court of the Southern Province of Kama. State-run Vietnam News Agency reported success stories, traveled back to Kama from Ho Chi Men, breached the 21-day quarantine regulations, infected eight people. How do they know that it was him that infected the eight people? That's what he needed a better. attorney. If he got five years

for that? Wow, because they're saying he breached the 21-day quarantine and infected aid people. Wow. Okay. All right. Vietnam is battling a bunch of cases. Yeah, but so what? He didn't infect all of these people.

Five years for Brink? Come on. You don't want to be in Vietnam in today's world. Did you ever? Really? I mean, is that the... Okay. Back to headlines. on that, okay? Oh, Macy's. Good news, though. Macy's says that the public can return to watch the Thanksgiving Day parade. Yay!

Yay! Because it was kind of, eh, this year. I mean, we watch it. I watch it every year on television. I've been to a Macy's Day parade. I love going to the parade. But, you know, it was a little boogie this year on air. So, I mean, they need to up that game a little bit. And we still watched it. But you can visit now.

We can get people back. If you can get back into New York, maybe just New Yorkos would be able to go. Because I don't think you're going to be able to visit New York. It could be me, though. We're finding out that, ooh, we're finding out that, I don't know why this is in my coronavirus pile, but we're finding out that Ecuadorians are the biggest number

sneaking across the borders now. And it's only costing them 15 grand. So if you're from Ecuador and want to come to the U.S., 15 grand and you're in, I guess, thanks to the, you hop on the back of a coyote and you're right into the country. That's how you get snucked into the old US of A. Italy mandates vaccine cards to fly, take a train, or go to university.

Wow. So in Italy mandates all around. Now you don't have to get vaccinated, but you can't fly, take a train, or go to university. Just like the kid in New Jersey, he can't go to school.

Rutgers, it's not going to let him go to school even though he was going to school, you know, virtually. But no, no, even though you're, all students must be vaccinated. I know, but I don't go to campus. I just take classes. is online.

Nope. Tough. It's the way it goes. Not going to happen. You have to be vaccinated. Oh, okay. And we get the lady here that says the doctor, a doctor was uninvited to her best friend.

And I would, would she really be considered a best friend? She was uninvited to the best friend's wedding because she was a health care worker. And around sick people, nasty people that might have COVID. and we can't be sure. Oh, you have not been quarantined long enough. And, you know, I love you and everything, and we're best friends. But no, you are uninvited to the wedding, okay?

I'd love to have you here. But, no, I can't, we can't have you coming to the wedding, sapping all things up with your nasty, dirty germs coming to the wedding. Oh, okay. Can we still be best friends then? Oh, yeah. No, we can't do that. Now we have the new moo variant,

and I had a story this morning, as I was filling in for Pat Gray, about the new virus in America. The new, here it is right here. The new Nipa. Nipa. N-I-P-A-H. It's more deadly than COVID-19.

D-da-da-da! Thank you. It's more deadly than COVID-19. So officials in India are racing to contain a virus outbreak that has claimed the life of a 12-year-old boy. Now, let me get this right. So one 12-year-old boy died. And we're worried.

It doesn't bode well for the virus. So the boy was taken to the hospital in southern Karela state with a high-grade fever and suspected brain inflammation. After blood tests, he was diagnosed with the NIPAA, NIPAA virus, and then died. Officials are using contact tracing, quarantine, and hospitalization. of the 188 people who have come in contact with the preteen to prevent a widespread outbreak. This is one of those viruses we really need to pay attention to.

That's what a research professor at the University of Florida's Environmental and Global Health Department told U.S. Is it? Is it? Do we need to watch out for Nipa? All right, fine. The reemergence of the Nipah virus. is compacting a problem in a nation already grappling with the effects of COVID-19. Oh, so we're more concerned about India than. We just don't want Nipah spreading through India.

Okay, so the Nipah virus first discovered in Malaysia and Singapore in 1999 after multiple pigs and people became sick. Okay, so far, the only recorded outbreaks have occurred in Asia. Yeah, that's going to you know that's going to be ending really quick. It's classified as a zoonotic virus that initially spreads

from animals to people so it jumps and can also be transmitted through contaminated food and directly between people. That's great. That's great. I'm excited. So we can catch it

from animals and we can also catch it from contaminated food and once I catch it from Porky the Pig I can spread it to my family. That's great. Nipa. How about Nipai you? Okay.

Nipai you. Is that how you say it? N-I-B-A-H? Yeah, that's right. Nipai you. Sure. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts.
