EARLIER TODAY EARLIER TODAY, THE F.D.A.
GRANTED FULL APPROVAL TO THE PFIZER VACCINE.
IT'S THE FIRST CORONAVIRUS VACCINE TO BE FULLY APPROVED.
EXACTLY WHAT PARANOID ANTI-VAXXERS HAVE BEEN WAITING
FOR A STAMP OF APPROVAL BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
MEANWHILE, THE MODERNA AND JOHNSON-AND-JOHNSON VACCINES
DON'T NEED F.D.A. APPROVAL.
THEY SPENT LOCKDOWN LEARNING TO LOVE THEMSELVES.
THE PFIZER VACCINE IS NOW FULLY APPROVED BY THE F.D.A., WHICH
SOUNDS LIKE A BIG DEAL, UNTIL YOU REMEMBER THAT SO IS MOUNTAIN
DEW BAJA BLAST.
TWHRS HAS FD TAXER APPROVAL, APPROVED BY THE PDA, AMAZING ALL
THE [BLEEP] YOU CAN BUY IN A 7-ELEVEN.
WHAT YOU DO I THINK, IAN, IS THIS GOING TO CHANGE ANYBODY'S
MIND TO HAVE ANOTHER VACCINE, DO YOU THINK THEY WILL DO IT NOW?
>> THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THIS WILL CHANGE THEIR MIND, IS THE
SAME AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT GET APPLES AS A SIDE AT MCDONALD'S.
LIKE IT IS AN OPTION BUT IT'S-- IT'S THERE-- I BUNGLED
THAT JOKE, AM I SURE IT IT WAS GOOD IN THE FIRS PLACE?
I DON'T KNOW.

>> James: YEAH, IT THERE BE INTERESTING TO GO THROUGH THE
DRIVE THRU AND JUST ORDER THE APPLE SLICES.
(LAUGHTER) JUST TO SEE THE PERSON'S FACE,
WELCOME TO MCDONALD'S.
WELCOME TO MCDONALD'S, HOW MAY I TAKE YR ORDER.
>> James: CAN I JUST GET THE APPLES PLEASE, LITTLE BAG OF
APPLES.
>> YOU HAVE TO GET A MEAL TO IN ORDER THE APPLES AS A SIDE.
>> James: I CAN'T JUST GET THE APPLES ON THEIR OWN.
>> WE'RE NOT LEGALLY ALLOWED TO JUST SELL THE APPLES.
>> James: OKAY, CAN I GET THE APPLES AND A BOTTLE OF WATER?
>> YOU KNOW THEY SELL APPLES OTHER PLACES.
>> James: YEAH, BUT I-- I REALLY-- I REALLY CONSIDER
MCDONALD'S APPLES TO BE THE.
>> WE NEVER EVEN ACTUALLY SEE THE APT ELSS.
WE GET A BOX FULL OF BAGS, IT ST NOT LIKE WE ARE CUTTING APPLES
AND-- .
>> James: I ALSO HAVEN'T GOT A KNIFE SO I NEED THE CUT APPLES.
>> ALL RIGHT, YEAH.
>> James: I HAVE A DENTAL ISSUE SO THAT MEANSES I CAN'T
BITE INTO AN APPLE SO YOU GUYS ARE REALLY MY PERFECT STOP FOR
APPLESES.
I'M MAKING AN APPLE PIE.
>> YOU KNOW, WE SELL APPLE PIE.
>> James: THEY'RE GOOD.
>> James: IN POLITICAL NEWS, POLLS SHOW THAT PRESIDENT
THE RECALL VOTE FOR GAFFE INNEWSOM IS LESS THAN A MONTH
AWAY.
ACCORDING TO POLL THERE IS A PRETTY MUCH A 50/50 CHANCE THAT
HE GETS RECALLED THAT IS HOW IT GOES THAT IS POLITICS, YOU WIN
SOME, YOU NEWSOM.
BUT GAVIN NEWSOM COULD BE REPLACED BY CAITLYN JENNER OR
RADIO HOST LARRY ELDER.
COME ON, IS THIS NOT AMERICA, IF WE'RE NOT HAVING A POINTILESSLY
EXPENSIVE CONTENTIOUS ELECTION WITH A BUNCH OF CELEBRITIES.
THAT'S REALLY ALL IT HAS BEEN SUNS I MOVED HERE.
I'VE GOT LIKE TWO YEARS OF OBAMA AND THEN JUST BEEN THIS [BLEEP]
FOR THE RECORD I'M AGAINST NEWSOM BEING RECALLED, I AM.
BUT I HAVE TO SAY THERE IS A TINTY PART OF ME THAT ENJOYS
WATCHING SOMEONE THAT HANDSOME SWEAT ABOUT LOSING THEIR JOB AND
WE WANTED TO SHOW YOU THIS.
DUE TO A LULL IN THE SPORTING SCHEDULE, ON SATURDAY ESPN
BROADCAST A RERUN OF A RACE FROM EARLIER THIS SUMMER.
AND IT WASN'T TRACK AND FIELD TRK WASN'T HORSES, IT IT WAS
CORGIS HAVING A RACE.
TKE A LOOK.
>> AND CORGIS AWAY JACKS WAS OFF TO A GOOD START, ZOE FLYING NOW
AND BOY, IT WAS A CLOSE FINISH.
>> James: I LOVE TO PICTURE THE QUEEN STANDING AT THE FENCE,
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, WITH A FIST FULL OF CASH, GOING ON COME
ON, MAMA NEEDS A NEW PEA COAT!
THAT WAS ON ESPN.
SO SOMETHING I DON'T THINK WE ARE THINKING IT ENOUGH ABOUT
WE'VE GONE STRAIGHT TO-- IMAGINE THE CONVERSATION THAT HAPPENED
FOR THAT TO MAKE THE AIR AT ESPN.
WHAT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE HAVE NO SPORTS.
>> HONESTLY, THERE'S NOTHING.
THERE IS NO SPORTS.
>> THAT'S WHAT WE DO.
WE JUST DO SPORTS.
>> I KNOW, IT IT WAS LIKE A CORGI RACE A MONTH AGO.
>> GET IT TON TV NOW.
>> DID YOU SEE HOW ONE OF THE CORKIS JUST IMMEDIATELY TURNED
LEFT AND JUST RAN INTO THE GRASSY AREA?
HAVE A LOOK.
>> AND CORGIS AWAY.
OFF TO TAY GOOD START ON THE INSIDE.
>> James: EVEN THE CORG SI LIKE THIS IS STUPID, GUYS.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY NEED, THOUGH, JKEES, LITTLE MONKEY
JOCKEYS.
PUT A LITTLE MONKEY ON THE BACK THERE NOT A BIG MONKEY, LIKE THE
ONE IN FRIENDS.
MARCEL, EVERY CORGI HAS A MONKEY ON THEIR BACK BUT DRESSED AS A
JOCKEY.
I ACTUALLY THINK THAT WOULD BE AMAZING.
>> I AGREE.
>> James: WELL, THAT'S IT.
THAT, FIRST ONE BACK, BUMPY LANDING BUT I THINK WE BROUGHT
IT IN.
THAT'S THE NEWS.
