Starting point is 00:00:00 Is it the matcha or am I this energized from scoring three Sephora holiday gift sets? Definitely the sets. Full size and minis bundled together? What a steal. And that packaging? So cute. It practically wraps itself. And I know I should be giving them away, but I'm keeping the Summer Fridays and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. I don't blame you. The best holiday beauty sets are only at Sephora. Gift sets from Summer Fridays, Rare Beauty, Way, and more are going fast.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Get full-size favorites and must-have minis bundled for more value. Shop before they're gone. In-store online at Sephora.com. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Well, it looks as though some things are doing great. Spam. Spam has hit a record high for the seventh year in a row. Yay!
Starting point is 00:00:50 Hormel, the company that makes the iconic brand, delivered record sales, 3.5 billion in the three months. the end of October. The firm's boss said, hey, we're going to be expanding our range of products next year. So let's look forward to that. We've got record growth going on.
Starting point is 00:01:12 I didn't realize, or at least I, you know, didn't remember that Hormel took over the planter's peanut brand in June. That was huge for them. So even with the supply chain issues, I guess they have worked out a deal, a five-year deal,
Starting point is 00:01:30 with pork suppliers, which apparently is the main ingredient in spam. I didn't know that outside the U.S., especially Asia-Pacific region, spam is huge. And it's been a household name in Hawaii since it was introduced in 1937. It can be found on menus across the islands with spam, eggs, and rice. A yum, I will say, that spam cut things. thin and fried up in a frying pan, it isn't bad. It isn't bad.
Starting point is 00:02:06 I have eaten it before. I know this is going to come as a surprise, but I have eaten it before. So, you know, congratulations. Anyway, congratulations are in order to spam, who once again hit a record high for the seventh year in a row. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fast.
Starting point is 00:02:30 So as I was scrolling the old interwebs of this weekend, I came across a question that I'd be thinking a little bit. And it may, you know, I asked, I asked my son this question and he was like, no way, I'm not doing that. Now, he's, what, 18, 19? And then I thought, well, you know, maybe it's to do with age because I would seriously think about it. And it's kind of a squid gameish question. So would you take a 50-50 chance at $5 million or death? And, you know, they want to know why or why not. So it's just, you know, asking the question.
Starting point is 00:03:17 One answer that I chuckled at was, yeah, either way, I don't have to work tomorrow. But it brings, you know, it's an interesting thought of would you do it? Would you do it? A 50-50 chance. You're either going to die or you're going to get $5 million. Now, no one wants to die. I mean, I got it. There are some people out there that, you know, want to do it. I get it.
Starting point is 00:03:44 They, you know, if they feel that's the only way out. If you feel that's the only way out, please get help because it's not the only way out. Okay. I mean, you can call the suicide prevention hotline 800-273-825. 800, 273, 8255. It's the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline available 24 hours a day. All languages, just call the number if you think that ending your life is the only way out. Now, I digress a bit.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Let's get back to the question. 50-50 death, right? You have a chance at 5 million or death, would you take it? And it got me thinking that it probably is more age-relative. than anything else. So the older you are, the better and you aren't a multi-millionaire or billionaire, you would probably think, well, you know, I'm going out a few years left. I might as well take a shot, right?
Starting point is 00:04:45 What's the worst that could happen? Well, the worst that can happen is that you would be dead. But if you survived and you went for the deal, you'd be $5 million richer, right? So it's just a question that had me thinking a little. It's something to think about. You know what? Email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
Starting point is 00:05:10 And you can answer the question, would you take, we'll do it, chewing the fat poll. Just chewing the fat poll. Email chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Would you take a 50-50 chance at $5 million or death? So a German man has won a court battle that I'm surprised hasn't taken place here in the U.S. yet, but maybe there has been no need for it yet. So a German man who slipped on a flight of stairs in his house and injured his spine while he was on his way to his work at home office. And so he was walking from his bedroom to the home office, fell down the stairs, injured his spine.
Starting point is 00:05:53 He claimed the health insurance company, said, no, we're not paying for that. So subsequently, he moved to the court. And the court said, yeah, you know what? The insurance claim is right. They don't need to pay for that. Ooh, I guess the lower court said, now the trip from the bedroom to home office
Starting point is 00:06:13 doesn't come under commuting. The man then went to the country's apex court, the court of the land, a higher court, to claim his insurance amount. and the federal social court said, you know what? Yep, that's occupational accident insurance, and you go ahead and you need to pay the insurance bill.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Oh, okay. The court noted that while the social court viewed the first morning journey from bed to the home office as an insured work route, the regional social court judged it as an uninsured preparatory act that only precedes the actual activity. Okay. So anyway, he finally won and they're going to have to pay, although it didn't say what they were going to have to pay and how much, you know, what he was going to have to pay out of pocket.
Starting point is 00:07:08 I don't know how much the court costs and attorneys cost. But it is an interesting thought that you're working from home and get injured. That should be workplace accidents, right? I mean, they are forcing you to work from a home. And so if you have an accident, that's kind of a workplace accident, right? Now, if you're walking to work and you slip and fall, that's not a workplace accident, right? So, I mean, it could be caused because of another business causing you the harm, which you then could sue. But are you going to sue yourself for causing yourself to slip and fall?
Starting point is 00:07:51 No, you've been working. You were working at the time, and that's a workplace incident. Okay, all right, I guess so. I'm surprised that hasn't happened here in the U.S., though. That's really surprising that someone hasn't hurt themselves while working at home and, you know, sued their workplace for compensation. I bet it's coming soon, though. Want to know why robots are looking better and better as workers
Starting point is 00:08:21 for American companies. A cafe advertising vacant positions has been slammed online. After the chain claim, they were looking for staff members
Starting point is 00:08:33 who don't cry or never late and have no excuses. So? They just want a good employee. So when you look at the sign, the sign is from this creation organic,
Starting point is 00:08:46 and the sign says, still looking for that special person, you know the one, actually of a person. has an open schedule doesn't cry is never late has no excuses works hard has no bullsh smiles no matter what that one think you might be the one we're hiring and then there's the QR code well we can't ask that anymore that's for sure uh this whoever wrote that sign does not value other human beings really okay seriously okay they're just
Starting point is 00:09:21 looking for a good employee. They don't, it's amazing to me that that's so literal. They just want an employee that's going to show up and work and do a good job and be happy about it. That causes quite a, you know, quite a stir. Am I crazy? Or did they just write a job requirement for a slave? No, you're crazy because that's not what they wrote. They just want a decent employee.
Starting point is 00:09:47 Also, you're looking for a person with no family commitments, no education, commitments, no hobbies, no medical appointments, who won't ever stand up for themselves to make minimum wage. Yeah, that's exactly what they're looking for. Now, the job pays $15 an hour plus tips, and they're required to be able to stand during the entire shift, often up to eight hours with frequent bending, squatting, and lifting plates, boxes, and objects, up to 30 pounds, up to five times a shift. And they just want energetic, friendly, and prompt... people who are going to be employed there.
Starting point is 00:10:24 That's all. And they're being, you know, they want somebody that can work evenings and weekends and, you know, fun and energetic. That's all they're looking for. You know, like a real business that has customers, they don't want the customers to be treated like crap from a crappy employee that doesn't want to be there if they show up. Well, they took the sign down.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Yes, I know. And in today's world, they, of course, apologized. I know. Look, thank you for bringing the posted hiring signage to our attention. As you know, we took the sign down right away. The sign was created by our HR hiring manager and did not go through the normal approval process for marketing materials through the C.O. Marketing manager or owner before print.
Starting point is 00:11:17 From a newly hired HR perspective, their explanation was that they are in a very very frustrating position, giving the current climate with the job market and difficulty retaining good employees. While their intentions with the sign were good and lighthearted, we absolutely agree that the wording on the signage was way too harsh. That makes me sick. I can't believe. Of course, in today's world, they apologize and it was too harsh. They were just looking for an employee to do a good job. Doesn't anyone get that anymore? No, no, they don't.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Okay, all right. I got you. I know that we have this great letter from a CEO that I don't believe is real. Now, you could say, sure it is, it's real. I just, I don't believe it. It's too good to be true.
Starting point is 00:12:13 And any time we see things that are just too good to be true these days, guess what? But it isn't. Now, I want it to be true. It's a letter from a CEO to his employees. Dear employees, as the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Joe Biden is our president and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a big way.
Starting point is 00:12:42 To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off of 60 of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me since I believe we are a family here, and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go. So this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found 60 Biden Harris bumper stickers on our employees' cars.
Starting point is 00:13:14 And I have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change. I gave it to them. Funny. And I like it, but no way that's true. Just no way. It's not true.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh my gosh. So good. Okay. So today, if you're listening to. Listening live is the 13th of December 2021. Wow, we are so close to Christmas.
Starting point is 00:14:03 It's just amazing. Anyway, I can't decide who should be in the Who Died Today segment. So I can't decide whether it's Chris Wallace from Fox News or formerly from Fox News. He signed off from his Fox News Sunday show this week saying that he was done. He was giving up Fox News Sunday, and he's not going to work for Fox anymore. He's worked there for at least 18 years, and he's done. Well, immediately after that show, they announced that he's going to be part of a new CNN online show, or their network streaming service, CNN Plus.
Starting point is 00:14:45 So I can't decide having Chris. Holy cow. Anyway, good luck. I wish you best. Or whether it was Brian Williams who signed off this Friday. day. He said goodbye. Have a nice day. I'm done. It's over. And, you know, he talked about how they've decided that, hey, we're just going to burn it all down. And it's over for me. I don't know. Does that mean that he's dead now? It's possible. I don't know. Or it's one of those.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Is Chris Wallace? Is it Brian Williams? Or is it Steven Spielberg's West Side Story? I don't know if I did the story. I think I blew it off on Friday about how much Spielberg thought this was going to be this great film and what he did, you know, how beautiful it was going to be. And I thought, as I was reading
Starting point is 00:15:39 that, I'm thinking, Steve, you don't have any idea what America is like anymore, do you? And I, and of course he doesn't. Because it woke, it woke, yes, it woke. It is woke and it woke up to
Starting point is 00:15:55 only $10 million this weekend. A bomb! I mean, West Side Story is dead. Have a nice day. I mean, the catastrophe of In the Heights was $11.5 million. It didn't even reach that. Have a nice day. And West Side Story, I mean, Spielberg dumped a bunch of cash into that.
Starting point is 00:16:20 And so, it is bad. And I knew it would be, and it's proof that it is. And apparently it was really woke. I mean, he was, it's just bad, bad, bad, bad. And I don't want to see it, although I may end up seeing it just to say that I saw it, but it died. So I can't decide who died today. It's either Chris Wallace leaving Fox News for CNN Plus,
Starting point is 00:16:50 Brian Williams leaving NBC, MSNBC to the ethers. Steven Spielberg's West Side story they might as well just pull that from the theaters right now. Send it to streaming
Starting point is 00:17:03 and hope for the best. Or we really did have a star who who died today. Michael Nesmith from the monkeys. I know. He was 78.
Starting point is 00:17:15 It's sad. Rest in peace. He was 78 years old. Wow. Michael Nesmith's from the monkeys. He was, you know, TV pop star from the monkeys. He was,
Starting point is 00:17:24 ended up being, according to this, a prophetic figure. Prophetic? Yeah. Prothetic, prophetic figure on the Los Angeles country rock scene, of course. When you think of L.A. Country Rock, you think of Michael Nassmith. And then a multimedia entrepreneur. So he was, and everybody loved him and he was a great guy. And he died at 78.
Starting point is 00:17:46 So there actually was a sad death to report today. Yeah, that's who died today. So have you seen Sex in the City yet on HBO, the new one? Yeah, I know. I watched the first couple episodes, and, you know, HBO dropped the first two. I don't know if the other ones are out yet or not, but it was, you know, look, I was forced to watch it over the years. And so I watched it again with my wife. And, wow, it's pretty woke, man.
Starting point is 00:18:18 I think I might have mentioned it. I mean, it is a woke business. And that's going to be the death of it. Maybe they should have just let it go. I mean, I love all the characters. And what's her face? Samantha didn't come back. And there was a couple of times in the show when you expected her to show up.
Starting point is 00:18:36 It would have been when she showed up. And yet, no, no show up. But we find out that Peloton is a little unhappy with the show because of a death that happened surrounding a Peloton bike. Now, this is going to be, you know, am I spoiling it for you? Is there a spoiler in it? here's the spoiler somebody dies and so because of that they died around the peloton and velton is not happy so apparently the show got permission from the company for the product placement but they didn't tell them what the product placement was going to be around the scene
Starting point is 00:19:24 So the company tried to deflect from the story, noting that the character's use of the device may have even helped delay his cardiac event. Oh, is that a spoiler again? Oh, no. Oh, no. So plus, so in the show, they have this death. And then during the filming of the show, they had the other guy that was their big star. He died for real, in real life.
Starting point is 00:19:53 So there's no Samantha. They had, I'd be interested to see how they get rid of the guy that actually died, because he's in the first couple episodes. And then they killed off another one. So, I mean, what are we even doing here, HBO? But they let it go. They let it go because you can't say no to sex in the city. Right?
Starting point is 00:20:13 Right. And Pelotons had a tough year anyway. Right. I mean, they've, they've had a tough year. And apparently, thanks to this, they're blaming this, obviously. that their stocks have fallen to the lowest level in 19 months. And they've had a tough year anyway. I mean, they're treadmills they had to recall.
Starting point is 00:20:32 It's been a tough year for the old Peloton. So they weren't ready for the, they were hoping that maybe the reboot of sex in the city with their little cameo would have boosted their shares a little bit. But nope, it did not. It worked exactly the opposite. Plus, I will say it. Back to Sex and the City.
Starting point is 00:20:54 I will say that while getting rid of this character, it goes against what the show... I mean, the show's going to go completely woke. I mean, they're going to be without this character. They're going to be without the other character that dies in real life. And they're without the Samantha that didn't want anything to do with the reboot. So, holy cow. Almost makes it worth watching just to see how bad it's going to be.
Starting point is 00:21:20 That's what it's going to be. It's going to be a sex and... the city accident and I'm going to slow down and watch it okay you know what I watched all weekend though really I mean damn near all weekend was Hannah on prime holy cow I mean I saw I hadn't watched it there's three seasons so I hadn't watched it I saw the promotion for season three drop and I thought you know I've never watched Hannah and I asked around and a couple people have watched it and said it was good and so I started watching it and I got through the first season You know, it was good.
Starting point is 00:21:54 It was good. And I wondered if they were going to pick up the pace and how it was going to go. I watched the second season this weekend. The entire second season this weekend. Awesome. And now I got them just waiting, holding on for the third season whenever I can binge that, man. Because I know once I start it, I'm not going to want to stop. So I've got a hold off until I can get to it.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Because we've got Yellowstone. And I've got Succession. And I've got Mayor of Kingston. There's things to watch. There's things to do. So with no football, no college football. Oh, it's the Army Navy game, Jeff. I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:22:31 But with no big time college football going on. I mean, what are you going to do on Saturday? I mean, chores around the house? Stop it. Stop it. There's shows to binge.

We know that the United Kingdom actually has said that their first death from Amacron has happened. And we also know this weekend, that a Wisconsin wedding with super responsible vaccinated people led to the outbreak. And we cannot have these people getting together. Okay?
Starting point is 00:23:48 We just can't do it. Now, the wedding was November 27th in Wisconsin. Okay. And that's, of course, man. That's when the Amacron was making its way around the world. Yeah, that's right. Now, these were people who worked at the Oakland Medical Center. according to, you know, attendees.
Starting point is 00:24:10 They all were work there. And they had cocktails and they went to the dance floor. And because they let their guard down and they were all vaccinated, they went to the dance floor and left their masks behind. Those bastards! And they just forgot about it. And now they've, they traveled back to Oakland. And they had been infected.
Starting point is 00:24:35 And now they're busy infecting other. people. And what they've done is more than a dozen wedding attendees went home infected with COVID-19, including 11 people who worked at this hospital. Some of those people went to work before finding out they were infected, causing potential exposure to the virus to a total of 38 other employees. Now, no one has come down with the virus, but they could have, and it's possible. It's possible that this could happen. And it's possible that these employees could have infected other people. It's good that they were all fully vaccinated.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Everything's fine. Right? Everything's fine. Shut up. The CDC has now said that 80% of Amacron cases found in the fully vaccinated. Wait. What? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:31 A third of them had received a booster dose. Oh, so wait. 80% of the case. from Amicron were founded fully vaccinated human beings, not animals, and a third of those had received a booster dose. Huh. Now, the symptoms are mild in both the unvaccinated and the vaccinated, according to the CDC. So it's almost as if the vaccinations doesn't have anything to do, cannot prevent you from getting
Starting point is 00:26:03 Omicron or prevent the severity of the virus from being stronger or weaker. Huh. Weird. Really weird. Did you see the interview from the CEO of Pfizer? He was part of a Wall Street Journal CEO Council Summit. I don't know, about a week ago. And he was interviewed by Wall Street Journal's
Starting point is 00:26:33 Jamie Heller, and they were on stage, and he was talking about the severity of the boosters and what might happen in the future with the vaccines. He had some really interesting thoughts. Back to Israel, but first, in terms of having this extra vaccine, how would it work? Like right now, I think your expectation is that people, you've seen. said it would be like an annual booster but if you need to put this vaccine in place would it be like next year people would get two shots we don't know yet we don't know oh we don't be that one first of all I repeat it could be that we don't need one right and we will know the good news is that if we need one we will have one
Starting point is 00:27:25 excellent and if we have one in March just to answer I don't know if we will need just one booster on what already we heard or you need to go from the beach beginning, that would be the worst case scenario, but you need to start the whole series again. We don't know that. Oh, we don't know. Okay. All right. No problem.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Now he did say that it's possible you don't need any of them. Right. I mean, yeah, it's possible. It is possible there, Albert Borla, B-O-U-R-L-A, who is the CEO of Pfizer. He's a Greek-American veterinarian. I'm glad he's in church. of Pfizer. I'm sure he's a good man. I've never met him. I'm sure he's a good man. And he did say that it's possible that we don't need to do anything. The good news is twofold.
Starting point is 00:28:15 If it's needed, Pfizer's going to be there for you. Right? And we don't know if it's going to be one or multiple boosters or we just have to start the whole thing again. But either way, that's good news. Pfizer is there for you. Right? Right. Of course, that's good news. That's good news. news. I see where New Zealand has a man that they got 10 COVID-19 shots in a single day. So an investigation has been launched. I'll tell you that. Why is he getting 10 shots in one day? What do you mean? He's doing that because some people wanted him to take the shot for him and he was charging
Starting point is 00:28:59 them for it. Yeah, it looks like that was the case. Some people didn't want to get vaccinated, but you know, you know how Zealand is and so they got to, you know, make sure everybody's vaccinated. So they're paying this guy to get the shot. So he got 10 of them in one day. Now, according to all the vaccinologists and associate professors, they claim that it's unlikely that the man would suffer any serious harm. She said those who are over-vaccinated are more likely to experience increased fever of pains and headaches. But that's, that's all. Don't worry. But we know that people have an error been given the whole five doses in a vial instead of being diluted. We know that's happened overseas.
Starting point is 00:29:50 We know with other vaccines, errors have occurred and there's been no long-term problems. Oh, okay. All right. We know, we know there's a 91-year-old man in Ohio who got two COVID-19 vaccine doses in a day, which caused him to go into shock. That's it, though. He recovered. So shut up. All right? Everything's fine.
Starting point is 00:30:17 I don't think I would advise that. I'm just going to go out on a limb and say, chewing the fat does not advise anyone to get 10 COVID-19 vaccine shots in one day. That's just me, though. I'm just saying I know I'm way out on a limb. Just don't do it. I see where Japan has made a mask now that can detect if you have COVID-19. That's kind of cool, except I don't know that I want to use what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:30:47 So Japanese researchers have developed these masks, and you obviously put them on, and then you take them off, and it changes color to let you know if you're breathing those spiked proteins of COVID-19. Now, what they've done is they use ostrich, antibodies in the mask. And so it glows under ultraviolet light. I don't know that I want to breathe ostrich
Starting point is 00:31:13 antibody cells that are made in the mask while I'm out and about and then having, you know, I have to shine it under the old ultraviolet light to see if the virus is present. The filters worn by people infected with COVID-19 glowed around the nose and the mouth. Okay, I mean, that's kind of cool that we're getting there to where we can detect whether you actually have it or not, whether you're vaccinated or unvaccinated.
Starting point is 00:31:43 But apparently this professor, another veterinary professor, by the way, the same as the Pfizer CEO, has studied ostriches for years. And really who hasn't studied ostraces for years? Looking for ways to adapt their immunity power to fight bird flu, allergies and ores. other diseases and it's actually kind of a really cool thing. I don't know how to downplay this plan because it's actually kind of cool. I just think of, you remember the movies Sideways when, What's His Face runs home naked from cheating on his, cheating on that girl. And he has to run through an ostrich field.
Starting point is 00:32:28 And he goes, ostriches are mean. That's the only thing I could think of with ostriches. Ontario, the weight is over. The gold standard of online casinos has arrived.

I mean, as long as we're talking about mean animals, did you see the story where the Massachusetts woman was left multiple cuts and bruises and bites on her arms because she was attacked by a raccoon? I know. So I guess she was putting up Christmas lights around some bushes outside her home. And she heard some kind of hiss noise. And it was like, hey, what the heck is that? So she turned around and there's a huge raccoon. Raccoons could get pretty big, about 10 feet away from her. And so she looked at the raccoon and then the raccoon jumped at her,
Starting point is 00:34:20 latching onto her arm and started biting her arm and hollering and screaming. And so she, she claims it's the worst nightmare of my life. I bet. You're in the battle with the raccoon right then, man. She said both me and the raccoon were screaming so loud. At one point, the raccoon fell from her arm before resuming the attack. And that's when she got the raccoon into a headlock.
Starting point is 00:34:46 and held it there for a while. And the raccoon just continued to bite her as she's got this raccoon in a headlock. And she said I could hear bones breaking in its neck. She said she let go of the raccoon when it stopped screaming. At which point, the animal wasn't dead. It just walked away. She thought she was going to die, I bet.
Starting point is 00:35:08 And it would be a battle like that. But then, you know, finally the animal stopped screaming. And she let go and it walked away. It was about a 45 pound. raccoon. Ordeal lasted about several minutes and she, I mean, she's a 70 year old female, right? I mean, that's a battle. That's a battle for anyone, let alone a 70 year old female. So she was obviously put on a course of rabies vaccine shots and guess what? Ah, the raccoon is still out there. I know. They conducted a search and couldn't find it. Now, did it die because of its battle
Starting point is 00:35:40 with this lady? I don't know. But they can't find it. So it could still be out there ready to attack other humans in Lancaster, Massachusetts. So be careful. Keep your head on a swivel for the attack raccoons in Massachusetts, man. And I see where the, remember we talked about the pole assassin, you know, the stripper, who was the girlfriend of the Texas Longhorns assistant football coach. Well, his, and according to this, It's his ex-girlfriend now.
Starting point is 00:36:18 So I guess they're not together. I mean, he's still with Texas. He didn't get the organ job. So, you know, I don't know what to tell you. But according to this story, ex-girlfriend. So they're being sued now by parents of a child who was bitten by the stripper's pet monkey. Oh, no. The monkey is attacking people?
Starting point is 00:36:39 Yeah. Well, the Austin resident, Daniel Thomas, the former stripper, who performed under the name Pole Assassin, the former stripper? Okay, was she just living off the money that Jeff is giving her now that they're not together? All right. Now, apparently they claim that
Starting point is 00:36:58 this, the Thomas lady, I'm sorry, Pole Assassin, invited these people to a backyard Halloween display to see her monkey. And, you know, the ex, don't even just, write your own jokes. And so
Starting point is 00:37:17 the children, I guess, you know, we're in the backyard, and they were told, the monkey gives people high fives. So the little kid goes up to give the monkey a high five, and the monkey bites him. You're not high five of me. I'm going to go and refuse to let go. So they had to forcibly remove pry this monkey's jaw open from the
Starting point is 00:37:38 kid's arm. And there was so much blood, according to the mom. And they because of that they were unable to see the full extent of the injury. So did they rush the kid to the hospital? No. They went down the road to a nearby home of a man who they knew was a doctor. So I guess if you're a doctor, why go to the ER when you can just run down the street to the doctor? Hopefully he's home, which he was.
Starting point is 00:38:03 And he doctored him up and off they went. And so then the family wanted to say, well, hey, my kid going to have to go through rabies shots. And so, you know, they're going to have to do that because the lady, Pole assassin, refused to supply the family with the monkey's vaccination records. And now they, a lawsuit alleges that, you know, they've embarrassed the family. And I mean, they don't, she doesn't want to lose her monkey. She denied knowing anything about the, about the bite. And she said that she never invited the kids to see the monkey. Oh, okay. I was on aware that the boy went into the backyard.
Starting point is 00:38:44 So we'll see what happens. According to this, Coach Banks is named in the lawsuit, but it's not known whether he was around or not. And according to this story, that's his ex-girlfriend, so maybe he wasn't even around at all.
Starting point is 00:39:04 I mean, that is something that would stink, man. You go in the backyard to meet some dangleberry's monkey. And the monkey. Does I want anything to do with you, man? I'm going to bite you. Okay, you got it?
Starting point is 00:39:17 I don't want your little kid around me giving me high fives, all right? I mean, that's terrible, terrible. No matter how it happened, it's terrible. No children should be attacked by any kind of wild animal, even a pet wild animal. Is there such a thing? All right, so let's talk about the holidays, shall we? You know, it is the holiday season. Times sometimes appear to be bad and people don't care about other people.
Starting point is 00:39:48 And it's just a terrible thing. Now, for real, we had the dozens of tornadoes hit the six states, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee. And, I mean, we've lost of life and loss of homes and communities are all, you know, showing up today. It's horrible. and Mercury One will be there to help.

Starting point is 00:40:23 This man drove an hour and a half with his cooker and his grill and brought water and said that, and said this. I know they don't have all this, so I just figure I'd do what I can do. Show up with some food and some water. That is fantastic. that's what makes America right there for real that's what makes America also another thing that makes America is when people you know lose money you try to help them out and I saw a post this weekend as well that showed just the heart of America this man talked about meeting a woman outside a mall she was crying upset obviously distraught she had lost $200 so this man
