HANDSOME MAN.
CHARMING.
CHARMING, HANDSOME, BRITISH.
I'M ONLY BUT ONE OF THOSE THREE THINGS.
>> James: WELL, IT'S THAT TIME.
IT'S TIME FOR...
THE NEWS.
(OVER THE TOP NEWS THEME) AS YOU KNOW, PRESIDENT BIDEN
RECENTLY CALLED FOR COVID-19 BOOSTER SHOTS AT EIGHT MONTHS
AFTER VACCINATION, THEN CUT IT TO SIX MONTHS, AND NOW IS SAYING
FIVE.
WELL YESTERDAY, TWO TOP F.D.A.
REGULATORS RESIGNED IN PROTEST, SAYING BIDEN REFUSED TO SEEK THE
AGENCY'S INPUT IN THE PLANNING.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY'RE ANGRY.
BIDEN'S DECISION-MAKING HAS BEEN PRETTY SPOT-ON LATELY.
THE ADMINISTRATION'S TOP-DOWN BOOSTER APPROACH SHOULDN'T HAVE
COME AS A SURPRISE.
ANYONE WHO'S EVER SEEN BIDEN IN A SIXTY-SEVEN CORVETTE KNOWS
HE'S A TOP-DOWN KIND OF GUY.
NOW KEEP IN MIND, THESE F.D.A.
REGULATORS ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO GAVE THE GREEN LIGHT TO
MACARONI AND CHEESE FLAVORED OREOS AND MOUNTAIN DEW
TOOTHPASTE, SO IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE THEM RESIGN IN
DISGUST.
IN OTHER NEWS, A NEW POLL FOUND THAT AMERICAN PARENTS ARE
DIVIDED ON SCHOOL MASK MANDATES.
48% OF PARENTS WANT ALL STUDENTS TO BE MASKED AT SCHOOL, WHILE
41% SAY THEY OPPOSE A MANDATE.
BUT 100% OF PARENTS AGREE THEY CAN'T TAKE ANOTHER DAY OF
(BLEEP) ZOOM SCHOOL.
CHILDREN ARE NOW GETTING CAUGHT UP IN THE DEBATE OVER MASKS.
YOU KNOW WHERE A LOT OF THESE PRBLEMS STEM FROM?
PEPPA PIG.
HUGE ANTI-VAXXER.
AND THAT IS TRUE, SHE IS, SHE IS, SHE IS, DADDY PIG HAD A
BOOSTER, BUT IS ALSO IMMUNE.
MOMMY PIG HAD MODERNA.
GEORGE, OBVIOUSLY TOO YOUNG TO BE VACCINATED BUT AND PEPPA IS
DRIVING AN ABSOLUTE WEDGE.
THEY WON'T EVEN JUMP IN THE SAME MUDDEE PUDDLES AS HER.
>> I HEARD HER ON JOE ROGAN.
>> James: YES, SHE WAS ON JOE ROGAN.
IT HAS CAUSED A MASSIVE, MASSIVE-- SUSIE SHEEP WON'T TALK
TO HER.
ALL OF THEM, ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL.
BRUTAL.
BUT WHERE I THINK WE'VE ALL GOT A RELATIONSHIP LIKE, THAT WE'VE
ALL GOT SOMEBODY.
IN A WAY THAT IS RELATABLE THAT ALL OF THE PIG FAMILY ARE
EXPERIENCING WHAT WE'RE ALL GOING THROUGH.
>> YEAH.
YET AGAIN, PEPPA PIG HOLDING A MIRROR TO SOCIETY AND SHOWING US
WHAT WE REALLY LOOK LIKE.
>> James: IN A VERY, VERY REAL AND TRUE SENSE.
>> Reggie: JAMES, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE ACTORS WHO
PLAY THOSE CHARACTERS?
SWRZ WHAT?
THEY'RE REAL PEOPLE, PIGGY, PEPPA PIG, IT IS A DOCUMENTARY.
>> I'M SORRY, I DON'T KNOW.
>> James: A DOCUMENTARY SEERS OF A FAMILY WHO LIVE ON THE TOP
OF A VERY, VERY STEEP HILL PARENTS ARE COMPLETELY SPLIT
OVER MASK MANDATES.
HONESTLY, I HAVEN'T SEEN PARENTS THIS DIVIDED SINCE THE GREAT,
"IS HARRY POTTER TEACHING KIDS WITCHCRAFT?" DEBATE.
WHICH WAS REAL, DO YOU REMEMBER, THAT DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN PEOPLE
WERE SAYING IS HARRY POTTER TEACHING MY CHILDREN WITCHCRAFT.
PEOPLE THAT PEOPLE WATCH MUSICIANS AND SAY SOMETHING LIKE
THAT'S NOT MAGIC.
YOU EVER WATCH THE MAGICIAN AND GO THAT IS NOT MAGIC, I KNOW HOW
HE DID IT.
OF COURSE IT'S NOT [BLEEP] MAGIC, MATE, IT'S A TRICK, GO
ALONG WITH IT IT >> James: AND WE WANTED TO TELL
YOU ABOUT THIS.
A WOMAN WAS RECENTLY KICKED OFF A SPIRIT AIRLINES FLIGHT TO FORT
LAUDERDALE BECAUSE SHE SAT DOWN ON THE PLANE AND LIT UP A
CIGARETTE.
THE WOMAN'S DEFENSE WAS THAT SHE'D HAD A QUOTE, LONG DAY.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.
I CAN'T BELIEVE A SPIRIT AIRLINES FLIGHT TO FLORIDA
HAS RULES.
FLIGHT ATTENDANTS SAID THEY SMELLED THE SMOKE, AND BECAUSE
IT WAS SPIRIT AIRLINES, THEY WERE JUST RELIEVED IT WASN'T THE
ENGINE FALLING OFF AGAIN.
AND THIS IS INTERESTING.
A NIGHTCLUB IN GLASGOW, SCOTLAND HAD FOUND A WAY TO HARNESS
ENERGY FROM THE DANCERS IN THE CLUB.
IT'S THE FIRST SUCH PROGRAM IN THE WORLD.
THE SYSTEM TAKES THE BODY HEAT GENERATED BY PEOPLE DANCING AND
CONVERTS IT INTO ELECTRICITY TO POWER THE NIGHTCLUB.
TURNS OUT, RHYTHM IS A DANCER.
BUT SHE'S ALSO AN EXCELLENT SOURCE OF ENERGY.
THOUGH IT WILL BE A BIT CONFUSING BECAUSE NOW IF SOMEONE
COMES UP TO YOU AT A CLUB AND YELLS CAN YOU FEEL THE ENERGY?
YOU DON'T KNOW IF THE GUY IS ON MOLLY OR AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER
DOING MAINTENANCE WORK.
>> James: AND WE WANTED TO SHOW YOU THIS.
THE COMPANY THAT MAKES MRS. DASH SEASONING BLENDS HAS COME OUT
WITH A NEW SEASONING MADE FROM, GET THIS: TWIX CANDY BARS.
SO AGAIN, F.D.A. REGULATORS WILL RESIGN OVER COVID BOOSTERS, BUT
NOT THIS?
THE TWIX SHAKERS SEASONING BLEND SAYS IT COMBINES THE BAR'S
CRUNCHY COOKIE, SOFT CARAMEL, AND MILK CHOCOLATE FLAVORS.
YOU KNOW WHAT THIS WOULD GO GREAT ON?
A SNICKERS.
BUT LOOK, THEY'RE PROMOTING THIS WITH A PICTURE OF CHICKEN WINGS.
ICE CREAM, SURE.
COFFEE, MAYBE.
BUT CHICKEN WINGS?
TWIX, WE ARE FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN HERE IAN, WOULD YOU TRY
I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT, THIS IS THE SORT OF MOMENT WHERE, I WILL
REMEMBER IT, THIS IS WHEN I REALIZED WE WERE GENUINELY
[BLEEP] >> James: AND FINALLY, A JUDGE
IN MICHIGAN RECENTLY ORDERED A COUPLE TO PAY MORE THAN $30,000
TO THEIR FORTY-THREE- YEAR-OLD SON BECAUSE -- THIS IS TRUE --
THEY THREW AWAY HIS PORNOGRAPHY COLLECTION.
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO PARENTS BEING SUPPORTIVE OF THEIR
CHILD'S INTERESTS?
BY THE WAY, YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TOO MUCH PORN WHEN IT'S WORTH AS
MUCH AS A BRAND NEW HONDA ACCORD.
HIS PARENTS HAVE TO PAY HIM FOR THROWING AWAY HIS PORN
COLLECTION.
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, MAYBE HE'LL FINALLY BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE
INTERNET.
AND THAT'S THE NEWS.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE "LATE LATE SHOW"
