Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, Boris wants Britons to shape up 

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s latest strategy to fight the Coronavirus is an anti-obesity campaign. Being obese or heavily overweight increases the risk of severe Covid-19 symptoms. Not unlike the US, Britain has one of the highest rates of obesity worldwide, with nearly one in three adults classified as obese. The new measures include tools to help people lose weight, restaurants displaying calorie counts, and a ban on junk food advertisements before 9p.m. Which makes sense, because everyone knows the best time to eat junk food is right before you go to bed. (Additional out) British Trump loses a few pounds and suddenly he’s a weight loss expert.  

Tease: In ___ minutes, online amateur detectives dig up evidence that would make the Tiger King proud  

Online amateur detectives have dug up evidence that could prove Carole Baskin was lying about Don Lewis’ disappearance. A spokesman for Don’s family claims a Facebook collective has discovered a new lead that supports Joe Exotic’s theory that Don Lewis is buried under the septic system in the animal sanctuary. The Lewis family recently announced a $100,000 reward in exchange for information that will help solve the case. Throw in a signed copy of every Joe Exotic album and I’m on it. (Additional out) I believe them, anyone who laughs like she does is guilty of something.  

Tease: Coming up at ____, the pandemic can’t stop ninjas  

American Ninja Warrior returns despite the pandemic. The NBC competition series will debut its 12th season on September 7th, marking the first series on the network to complete a full season during the health crisis. The entire season was filmed inside a dome in St. Louis and will feature 50 athletes from previous seasons. Personally I’m glad the thing I only watch when absolutely nothing else is on is back. (Additional Out) I’m assuming the first obstacle is a temperature check slash nose swab station.  

Tease: A Canadian chainsaw fight? I’ll tell you more in _____ minutes  

Two chainsaw-wielding men terrorized Toronto beachgoers recently. Police in Toronto arrested two men after responding to reports of a large brawl at a beach park and finding the men covered in blood yelling at people while carrying chainsaws. Facebook footage shows the incident unfold. Authorities say the two were involved in an earlier fight and then returned to the scene with their power tools. But since they’re Canadian I’m sure they apologized profusely. (Additional out) I know what will deescalate this situation, let’s both grab our chainsaws we oddly carry around with us at all times.  

Phone Topic/Web Poll: David Blaine will float in the air in a new live stunt on August 31st. The magician plans to be elevated by helium balloons to soar across the Hudson River.
