Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, some good and bad covid news
This Labor Day saw 300% more new Covid-19 cases on average than last year and experts fear the holiday weekend could make it worse. However, only 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 10,000 people who catch the Delta variant in the US are vaccinated causing health experts to further emphasize the importance of vaccination. Versus taking that cow medicine. (Additional Out) For the five millionth time.
Tease: In ______ minutes, the daredevil feat that helped a pilot set multiple world records
A hair-raising video has gone viral of a pilot’s record-breaking flight through a tunnel. 41-year-old Italian stunt pilot Dario Costa successfully maneuvered a custom-modified Zivko Edge 540 race plane through the 1,730 meter Twin Catalca tunnels in Turkey. Costa had just 4 meters between wing tip and wall on each side as he set five Guinness World Records. Hopefully he at least practiced it in Grand Theft Auto a few times first. (Additional Out) Including dumbest ‘hold my beer and watch this’ idea.
Tease: Coming up at _____, a rude customer learns a valuable lesson about fighting a Waffle House employee
A video of a fight between an Atlanta Waffle House employee and a customer has been viewed over 3.2 million times already. The footage shows multiple women arguing with a seated man until another worker comes over and drags him to the door. The customer then throws a punch at the employee and quickly regrets his decision as a full-on beat down ensues. Hence why you never try to send something back at Waffle House, you just eat it and keep your mouth shut. (Additional) Fortunately all the other customers were too drunk to notice.
Tease: In _____ minutes, good news about a toddler lost in the wilderness
A missing toddler lost in the Australian bush for three days has been found alive and healthy. On Friday at 12:30pm New South Wales Police responded to reports that three-year-old Anthony Elfalak had gone missing from his family’s property in the rural area of Putty. Hundreds of volunteers joined the search and helped find Anthony near a riverbank Monday around 11:30am and he’s since been reunited with his family. Much to the delight of his dad who I assume was tasked with watching him. (Additional) So little Anthony is considerably tougher than I am because I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t make it one afternoon stranded in the Australian bush.
