Time four? What's happening? Well, 17 00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:50.479 of course, what is happening is. 18 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:56.439 Wanter damage, fire damage, burglary called public adjuster abner gas 19 00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.560 eight one eight nine one seven five two five six. 20 00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:02.880 Hey, by the way, if tomorrow you do that, I 21 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.760 encourage everyone to raz. 22 00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.640 You for a direction. I do it every day I know, 23 00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.719 so why would tomorrow be any stupidly placed thing I've 24 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.920 ever heard in my life? Anyway, what's going on today 25 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.120 is this fire. It is a monster. It has exploded 26 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:20.599 to what'd you say, more than nineteen thousand acres what 27 00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:23.319 cal fire says. Blake Trolley from KFI News is on 28 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:25.680 this and joins us now and Blake, it seems like 29 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.439 well Channel seven had at about eighty three homes lost 30 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:29.280 as of this morning. 31 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.519 Yeah, there's no actual amount of homes loss, So I'm 32 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:34.599 guessing what these news companies, they've gone out and kind 33 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:36.680 of done their own surveys. We were just told in 34 00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:41.040 our latest press briefing that officials are still collecting that information. 35 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.799 They're sending ten teams into these neighborhoods to look at 36 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.200 this damage, to assess this damage, and to come back 37 00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.000 with a number. They say they want to be thorough 38 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.519 because they want to get this right the first time. 39 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.359 So I have seen some of those numbers. I've seen 40 00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.239 numbers like fifty you just mentioned, more than eighty. My 41 00:01:57.359 --> 00:01:59.879 guess is these are aerial surveys that the news come 42 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.079 copanies are doing. But keep in mind, the officials have 43 00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:05.799 yet to put out a number on the number of 44 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.240 homes lost. What they have put a number out on 45 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.719 is the acreage. Now, some potentially decent news I guess 46 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:14.919 you could say with this fire is that the growth 47 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.000 of this fire. Keep in mind, it went from fourteen 48 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.960 hundred acres to fourteen thousand acres yesterday. That's a multiplication, 49 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:24.240 of course, of ten times its size. For us A journalists, 50 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:28.159 wo are bad at math. And you know last night 51 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.240 it only grew by a few hundred acres, So it 52 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.599 grew massively yesterday, but last night it only went from 53 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.840 about fourteen two hundred acres to about fourteen thousand, five 54 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:37.560 hundred acres. 55 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:39.560 And I'm guessing what that is. 56 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.680 They didn't say this explicitly, but one of the things 57 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.360 that they highlighted in this news conference we just had 58 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.400 with officials is that they were able to run helicopters 59 00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.479 all night. And this is usually an issue when you've 60 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.639 got these types of winds of wind events, these can 61 00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:58.960 really impact those aircraft. And they say, last night, unusually 62 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:02.280 they were able to have a tankers doing drops all night, 63 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.479 and they said, this fire is responding to those and 64 00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:09.240 really slowing down. As far as the fire's movement, goes. 65 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.039 This fire is moving to the northwest, with the community 66 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.879 of Santa Paula kind of being the most impacted right now. 67 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:18.639 As for how it's moving, we're told it's moving in 68 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:20.919 kind of a mixed topography, an area where there's a 69 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.680 lot of ranch style homes, a lot of hillside but 70 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.879 that it does have potential to slide into some areas 71 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:28.360 that are more populated. 72 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.680 What are we looking at, weather condition wise out there 73 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:32.840 right now. I mean, we had heard that the red 74 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.479 flag conditions are going to stick around through this evening, 75 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.199 but what does it feel like out there now exactly? 76 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.199 And one thing that we should note about those red 77 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.439 flag conditions that you're talking about there, Gary, is that 78 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.479 yesterday they said these were extreme red flag conditions and 79 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.560 they've been really lowered back down to more of a 80 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.080 typical red flag condition and those are supposed to stick 81 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.319 around with us till about six pm tomorrow. Then winds 82 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.039 are supposed to be relatively light throughout the weekend. But 83 00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.680 you know, firefighters are going to really have a window 84 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:04.439 because they're eyeing potential more wind activity that could kick 85 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:06.400 up early next week. So they say they're trying to 86 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:08.400 get ahead of this. They're also trying to be prepared 87 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.599 for a potential other event or you know, any sort 88 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:13.879 of flare ups that could come early next week. 89 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.240 All right, Blake trolley out there near the fire lines. 90 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:17.680 Thanks man. All right, guys. 91 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.040 The other big story nationally today is the Fed Reserve 92 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:24.480 approved its second consecutive interest rate cut. 93 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:24.839 Today. 94 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.720 The FMC decided to take another step in reducing the 95 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.480 degree of policy restraint by lowering our policy interest rate 96 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:33.720 by a quarter percentage point. 97 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:35.759 In quick trivia question, what does he mean when he 98 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:37.759 says the FOMC. 99 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:39.199 Correct? 100 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.879 The Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight borrowing 101 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:46.160 rate by a quarter percentage point twenty five basis points 102 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.360 to a target range now of four and a half 103 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.639 to four and three quarter percent. This rate sets what 104 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.279 banks will charge each other for overnight lending, but can 105 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:59.600 influence other consumer debt things like mortgages, credit cards, auto 106 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.879 loans as well. If you missed it, man, you missed 107 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.160 a barn burner of a speech from Jerome Powell. 108 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:08.079 In the near term, the election will have no effects 109 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:12.319 on our policy decisions. As you know, many many things 110 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.600 affect the economy, and anyone who writes down forecasts in 111 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.720 their job will tell you that the economy is quite 112 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.800 difficult the forecast looking out past the very near term. 113 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.079 But this was not an unexpected In fact, it was 114 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:27.839 a very expected move this quarter point, which telegraphed both 115 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.000 at the September meeting and in some of the follow 116 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.920 up remarks from policymakers that they've been talking since then. 117 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:40.040 So this vote was hunanimous, hunanimous, unanimous, Unlike the previous 118 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.160 move that saw the first no vote from a FED 119 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.759 governor since two thousand and five. Michelle Bowman was the 120 00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.800 one who voted no last time. She instead went along 121 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:52.319 with the decision today. So the statement came out and 122 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:55.639 reflected a few tweaks in how the FED views the economy, 123 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.279 as he was referring to there an altered view, and 124 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.000 how it assesses the effort to bring down while trying 125 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:02.920 to support the labor market. 126 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:06.680 Wasn't there a movie where a bunch of monkeys escaped? 127 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:10.120 Go on, I don't. I didn't see the movie, but 128 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.120 it sounds familiar. I'm sure you saw the movie. Did 129 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:14.319 the monkeys take us over? 130 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.600 No, they just are infected with ebola? Oh and then 131 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:24.199 they kill all of us. Outbreak, outbreak. Dustin Hoffman Rene Russo, 132 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:28.600 Morgan Freeman, Donald Sutherland, Kuba Gooding Junior, Kevin Spacey, Patrick Dempsey. 133 00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:36.000 Quite a cast. What's the premise nineteen ninety five? Uh there, 134 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:37.160 let's what is it about. 135 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:44.720 A virologist for the United States is investigating an outbreak 136 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:50.720 of motaba, the deadly fever in Zayere wiped out an 137 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:51.639 entire village. 138 00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.839 This guy and his crew get information. Uh. 139 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.199 It turns out that one of the capuchin monkeys that 140 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.360 is to host the virus is smug into the country, 141 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.079 and a worker at a California animal lab is infected 142 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.839 when he steals the monkey. On and on and on. 143 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.240 I think it was, if I'm not mistaken, filmed up 144 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.839 in Ferndale, Ferndale along the coast northern California. 145 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:15.639 Anyway. 146 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.639 It's basically, it's an ebola like thing that gets out 147 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.199 and the government has to swoop in and they may 148 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:24.319 drop a nuclear weapon on that little town to prevent 149 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.199 this thing from getting out of control. 150 00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.199 So that's what they do, or we don't know. I 151 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.240 don't know. I never finished the movie. 152 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.360 Well I did, of course, I know what happens. So 153 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.399 what happens I gotta tell you. Watch the movie I'm 154 00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:41.399 not going to watch Outbreak from nineteen ninety five about 155 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:41.920 the monkeys. 156 00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.199 It's a good movie, Is it really Okay? Maybe I'll 157 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:48.439 watch it. A police search is underway right now in 158 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:52.480 real life. Forty monkeys have escaped from a research facility 159 00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:57.079 in South Carolina last night. They escaped from Alpha Genesis, 160 00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:02.120 a business that provides non human primate products and bio 161 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:08.920 research services. This sounds like when Ellwood's dog Bruiser wanted 162 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.079 to track down his mom and they found him in 163 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:18.959 a puppy research plant. Bruiser's mom was having experiments done 164 00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:24.079 on her and they had to break out Bruiser's mom. 165 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:25.680 How do you do you know how they did it? 166 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:31.680 This isn't Legally Blonde two that I never saw you 167 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:34.600 did it? It's a great movie, sure it is. I'm 168 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:35.879 not going to tell you how it ends because I 169 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:37.919 don't want to spoil it. Is there a Thermo Barrack 170 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:43.360 bomb involved? Possibly? Is the government called in? Yes, yes, 171 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:47.360 I saw that coming, but I bet you didn't know 172 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:56.240 who a member of the government is John Voight. The 173 00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:00.399 company works with monkeys to carry out clinical trials, including 174 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:04.240 on brain disease disorder treatments, has one of the most 175 00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:08.279 one of the largest and most comprehensive non human primate facilities, 176 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:12.360 specifically for monkeys. I say yay to these monkeys. I 177 00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:16.200 say yay to these monkeys. However, we don't know, unfortunately, 178 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.399 about the escaped monkeys. We don't know whether they were 179 00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:25.279 exposed to any diseases. And alpha genesis is Mum's the word. 180 00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:28.639 They're not talking to anybody about what these monkeys were. 181 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:32.919 You're making a joke. But these could be diseased monkeys. 182 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:33.679 I know that. 183 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:37.000 That's why I'm saying it. That should be a concern. 184 00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:41.879 I hope they make their way here. I hope they 185 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:44.799 make their their way all the way across the great 186 00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:48.879 Land and start to getting rid of some of these people. 187 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:54.240 Who who's on your list? Who's on my list? Don't 188 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:57.799 get me to incriminate myself and have a record of. 189 00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:00.519 It, Jacob, we're rolling on this right. Go ahead, tell 190 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:04.360 us what's on your list? Also, have you ever go on, 191 00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:06.600 go ahead? Have you ever heard that whole of the 192 00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:10.559 old adage that a million monkeys typing on a million 193 00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:15.360 typewriters for infinity would eventually come up with the complete 194 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:19.279 works of Shakespeare? No, you've never heard that, no, just 195 00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:21.879 I guess it's a way to describe that at some 196 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.799 point chaos becomes the norm. 197 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:26.679 I don't know if that's even the right way to 198 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:27.039 put it. 199 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:32.440 But there was a research team to figure out could 200 00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:35.639 a monkey eventually type out the works of Shakespeare if 201 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.879 they had an infinite amount of time. A researcher by 202 00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:44.320 the name of Stephen Woodcock, Professor Stephen Woodcock and J. 203 00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.600 Fletta from the University of Technology in Sydney set out 204 00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:51.519 to mathematically examine the infinite monkey theorem. 205 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:53.480 Consists. 206 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:56.279 They said that considers the infinite limit whether an infinite 207 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:59.519 number of monkeys on an infinite time period of monkey labor. 208 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:04.840 They said that they examined the probability of a given 209 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:08.240 string of letters being typed by a finite number of 210 00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:12.799 monkeys within a finite time period consistent with the estimates 211 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:14.240 for the lifespan of the universe. 212 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:17.639 The theorem can be generalized to state that any sequence 213 00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:21.480 of events that has a non zero probability of happening 214 00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.960 will almost certainly occur an infinite number of times given 215 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.600 an infinite amount of time or a universe that is 216 00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:30.519 infinite in size. 217 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:35.600 My head hurts, they said, the universe would long end 218 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.399 before any group of monkeys could bang out even one 219 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.279 Shakespearean play by accident. 220 00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:48.840 They said, consider the probability of typing the word banana 221 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.440 on a typewriter with fifty keys. Suppose that the keys 222 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.039 are pressed randomly and independently, meaning that each key has 223 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:59.639 an equal chance of being pressed, regardless of what keys 224 00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:03.120 have been pressed previously. I call this my roulette theory. 225 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:05.519 I bet on thirty two, it hits. You know what 226 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:07.879 I bet on next time? Thirty two. It's got just 227 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.600 as much probability as the next time. That makes sense. 228 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:15.039 Steven jobs his lottery numbers when when the California lottery. 229 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:18.519 Was run two three, four, five six exactly right, same probability, 230 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:19.279 they said. 231 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:23.200 One chimp typing on a thirty key keyboard would have 232 00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:27.480 a five percent chance of writing the word bananas within 233 00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:28.240 their lifetime. 234 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:33.200 Pretty crazy, All right, this is crazy. This is crazy, 235 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:34.840 isn't it craz You've got to go into a meeting 236 00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:39.799 right now? Who going to do? Fruitfly News and Orange County? 237 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:42.440 Oh strange, sad? Prof going on. We've got a new 238 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.200 record achieved from Mount Fuji, and I'll tell you why 239 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.840 that matters. Let's revisit our emperor penguin, shall we? 240 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:49.200 Why not? 241 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.799 Let's do it? Oh so also also also also the 242 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.480 largest terror bird ever found. 243 00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:59.000 Another chance for a couple of tickets to this weekend's 244 00:12:59.039 --> 00:12:59.600 Chargers game. 245 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:01.000 We'll tell you how you can win them. Did you 246 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:04.639 know that Jupiter has no surface? Your face has no surface? 247 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:12.879 Your face sucks strong? Comeback? All right, it's time for 248 00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:24.919 strange science. Strange it's like weird science, but strange. Well, 249 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:29.519 let me start with the invasive fruit fly in Orange County. 250 00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.480 Cities of Santa Anna and Garden Grove have been placed 251 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:37.240 under quarantine in light of the uninvited and unwelcome visitor, 252 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:42.639 the Oriental fruit fly. Well, that's racist, an invasive pest 253 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.080 that attacks over three hundred excuse me, two hundred and 254 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:48.039 thirty crops, including fruits, nuts, and vegetables. 255 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:53.480 It feels like has this been a problem in California forever? 256 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.320 Because I feel like when I was a kid, I 257 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.159 remember hearing about fruit flies. Yeah, and fruitfl like quarantines 258 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:04.039 and signs and checkpoints and all of that stuff. 259 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:07.200 So residents living in the quarantine zones can prevent the 260 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.840 spread by not moving those crops from their property. They 261 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:15.759 can consume or process their homegrown protuce if it hasn't 262 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:19.759 been contaminated. But if you want to dispose of it, 263 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.919 double bag it and place it into the regular trash, 264 00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:26.639 not the green waste bin. The quarantine zone in Orange 265 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:30.279 County is eighty seven square miles, bordered on the north 266 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.720 by Anaheim, on the south by John Wayne, on the 267 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.840 west by Huntington Beach, and on the east by the fifty. 268 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:39.399 Five Quick technological question for you, Yeah, do you know 269 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:42.360 what most satellites are made of? 270 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:44.679 It's funny because you know, I'm really used to people 271 00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:47.960 coming to me with tech questions, right, It's just I'm 272 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:53.000 like the go to for that that category of inquiry, 273 00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:55.960 and i gotta say, I'm stumped on this one. 274 00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:02.399 So satellite metallurgy is not your thing. No, not my wheelhouse. 275 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.200 Aluminum satellites are made with aluminum, which can be a 276 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.159 problem when they burn up in the atmosphere at the 277 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:11.879 end of their lives because they generate aluminum oxides that 278 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:15.360 can alter our thermal balance here on Earth and damage 279 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:16.519 the protective bozone layer. 280 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:18.200 So that's fascinating. 281 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:24.279 A scientist at Kyoto University has developed the world's first 282 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:31.440 wooden satellite, which almost sounds like a steampunk case play thing, 283 00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:39.240 but it was. They developed this Ligno sat with Sumitomo Forestry. 284 00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:41.480 All of this should be in Space Wars. 285 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.279 It's going to be a board a SpaceX Dragon capsule 286 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:48.519 or is actually on his way now to the ISS. 287 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:52.120 It's about four inches on each side, little cube, but 288 00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:55.360 it could end up having a big impact on spaceflight 289 00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:57.159 and exploration down the road. 290 00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:59.759 I've been meaning to tell you this. Did you hear 291 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.080 that a new Star Wars trilogy is in the works. 292 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.320 I'm not happy with any of the words you just spoke, 293 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:09.480 really why he likes Star Wars? 294 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:13.399 Yeah, but they did you want to hear the rest? 295 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:19.159 Lucasfilm has tapped Simon Kinberg to write and produce a 296 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:23.639 new saga of films. Kinberg co created the hit animated 297 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:27.320 series Star Wars Rebels and served as a consultant on 298 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:31.039 The Force Awakens. It comes as other Star Wars projects 299 00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:36.000 remain in development from filmmakers including Donald Glover, Taiko Watiti, 300 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:40.320 and James Mangold. How much Star Wars do we need? 301 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:45.159 That's my point. It's like you're cheapening the original stuff, preach. 302 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:49.799 I mean, it was perfect the way it was, Why 303 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:53.320 add more to it? It's kind of like a wedding gown, right, 304 00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:59.120 beautiful classic. Keana's wedding gown was perfect classic. If I took, 305 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:04.039 you know, a sequined shawl and put it over Keana's 306 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:08.559 wedding gown, her classic, beautiful wedding gown, it would cheapen 307 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:10.240 the whole look. And then if I threw on some 308 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:13.839 ruby slippers or something. That's what they're doing to Star Wars. 309 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:18.279 You're taking the Yeah, you're taking away by adding Wait, 310 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:22.119 I have a dark shirt. I was gonna wear it. 311 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:24.640 I think I'm nor my Luche door sweatshirt. 312 00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:26.519 I don't have a Lucur sweatshirt, but I do have 313 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:28.240 a luchaor T shirt, so I think I'm gonna wear 314 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:28.880 that underneath. 315 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.359 Okay, we could have probably talked about that off the air. 316 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:35.480 You know. Tell me about these Tell me about the dogs. 317 00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:39.920 One hundred over one hundred invasive lizards the size of 318 00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:44.359 dogs have been reported throughout South Carolina and are destroying 319 00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:47.400 the local ecosystem. Oh my gosh, They've got the monkeys 320 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:49.039 on the loose, forty of them, and now we've got 321 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:51.559 one hundred lizards the size of dogs. It's called the 322 00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:57.359 Argentine black and white tagu. It's been causing havoc. The 323 00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:59.920 lizard can grow up to four feet long, and it's 324 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:06.440 distinguished by its spotted scales and appetite, voracious appetite. It 325 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:13.400 eats about everything in sight, just like you, and it 326 00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:16.640 needs me too. No, No, I eat everything instead. You do. 327 00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:19.759 I get jokes. You do. I get jokes only because 328 00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:20.359 you're not a waste. 329 00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:26.359 Did you know that South Carolina has a state herpetologist, Oh, 330 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:27.400 Andrew Gross. 331 00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:30.720 You know him. Yeah, I didn't realize that. He said. 332 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.920 There's so far no evidence that these lizards have been breeding. 333 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:36.440 They're primarily being kept as pets. 334 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:36.839 They said. 335 00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:40.079 About seventy nine thousand of these things have been imported 336 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:45.039 to the United States in twenty the decade that ended 337 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:49.279 in twenty ten. Many of the ones originally spotted in 338 00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:52.960 twenty twenty were either released or had escaped from their captivity, 339 00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:58.160 so thirty two confirmed sightings around around seventeen different counties. 340 00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:02.799 Twenty nine of these were the black and white Take you, yeah, Andrew. 341 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:05.680 Has been the herpetologist there since I think July of 342 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:08.799 twenty eighteen. Why do you know that? Well? 343 00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:13.440 Are you related to the state herpetologist in South Carolina. 344 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:15.279 I just feel like it's kind of common knowledge. I 345 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:17.160 don't know why it wouldn't be in your purview. 346 00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:22.759 The planet Jupiter has no solid ground, no surface, no grass, 347 00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.960 no dirt, nothing to walk on, no place to land, 348 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.200 to spaceship. But how does how how does it stay together? 349 00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.000 Chemicals? Gas is. 350 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:37.839 Jupiter fife the largest planet in the Solar System, big 351 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:40.519 enough for more than one thousand earths to fit inside 352 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:41.480 room to spare. 353 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:46.720 It's got a mostly hydrogen and helium atmosphere. Yeah, but 354 00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:48.519 there's how do you get. 355 00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:52.599 I guess As the layers of the gas above you 356 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:53.839 push down more and more. 357 00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:55.400 It's like being at the bottom of the ocean. 358 00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:58.279 Instead of water, though you're surrounded by gas, and the 359 00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:02.920 pressure has becomes so in tense the human body would implode. 360 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:04.960 You would be squished. 361 00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:07.319 I would like to go to Jupiter, go down a 362 00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.000 thousand miles and the hot, dense gas begins to behave Strangely, eventually, 363 00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:14.839 the gas turns into a form of liquid hydrogen, creating 364 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:17.240 what can be thought of as the largest ocean in 365 00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:20.319 the Solar System, although it's an ocean without any water. 366 00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:24.880 New research shows that animals become less social as they age, 367 00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:29.440 just like people. I could see that animal's nature is 368 00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:34.440 to isolate as they age. You know. That's a Yeah, 369 00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:36.960 that's a sad thing. It's a sad thing to watch 370 00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:41.279 when pets start hiding because they're going to die soon. Yeah. 371 00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:46.880 You know you've been kind of mia recently.
