Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: In the meantime, what else is going on? Time for
Speaker 2: what's happening?
Speaker 1: Wow? Five people have been charged in connection with Matthew
Speaker 1: Perry's death from that ketamine overdose last year, including the actors,
Speaker 1: live in assistant and two medical doctors.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we learned that listening to the news conference earlier.
Speaker 3: In US Attorney Martin Estrada also detailed just the money
Speaker 3: that was exchanged for these vials of ketamine, to the
Speaker 3: tune of nearly seventy thousand dollars in cash that Matthew
Speaker 3: Perry paid to get a hold of the kedemine.
Speaker 1: It seems like it all happened in that one minute.
Speaker 2: One month in October.
Speaker 1: He was getting ketamine treatment under medical supervision and intravenously
Speaker 1: and wanted more, and the doctors treating him said, no,
Speaker 1: that's a problem, We're not going to do that. So
Speaker 1: he was drawn to the reat ketamine operation and they
Speaker 1: were charging him two thousand dollars of vile when this
Speaker 1: street cost was twelve dollars a vile. So a lot
Speaker 1: of people facing a lot of real time in connection.
Speaker 3: With that death, including a woman who goes by the
Speaker 3: Ketamine queen. Go by the name Ketemine Queen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dream Big Kids.
Speaker 1: Hurricane Ernesto has dropped torential rain on Puerto Rico, knocked
Speaker 1: out power for nearly half of all customers there on
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico as it strengthens into a major hurricane en
Speaker 1: route to Bermuda.
Speaker 2: You know some places just can't get a break through
Speaker 2: a hurricanes.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I visited perto Rico last year for my first time.
Speaker 3: I loved it. Yeah, beautiful. Yeah, I'd love to go. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's really pretty.
Speaker 1: Schools have all been closed and we're going to probably
Speaker 1: get some rain, but it's going to miss the mainland US.
Speaker 1: Jd Vance has accepted a vice presidential debate with Tim Walls.
Speaker 1: The showdown will be October first. There may be more,
Speaker 1: but just one decided upon at the moment.
Speaker 2: He says he wants more. Also something too.
Speaker 3: I keep forgetting that the networks are hosting these debates
Speaker 3: now it's no longer who was doing it before the
Speaker 3: Commission what's the full name, Oh yeah, they're the Nonpartisan
Speaker 3: Commission on presidential debates and you will call back. In
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, the RNC voted to ban the GOP
Speaker 3: nominees from participating in debates hosted by that commission. So
Speaker 3: now it's like up to you know, CNN and Fox
Speaker 3: News whomever to host these debates.
Speaker 2: What does that commission do anymore? I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's a great question. This debate's going to be fiery
Speaker 1: between these two.
Speaker 3: I think I'm really looking forward to hearing the two
Speaker 3: of them. Yeah, me too, talk talk about you know,
Speaker 3: military service and record and you know, what were you
Speaker 3: doing before now for your stat as governor, for your
Speaker 3: you know, your your state as a center. They've both
Speaker 3: gotten heat for the stolen valor as they call it,
Speaker 3: because jd. Vance worked in public relations. I believe the
Speaker 3: Marines and Tim Walls never saw theater combat as well,
Speaker 3: So the two of them have both been kind of
Speaker 3: taken to task and veterans say, for by and large,
Speaker 3: from what I've read, stand down, like if you sign
Speaker 3: up to serve in the military, there are.
Speaker 2: So many jobs in the military.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I would be in the band, although I
Speaker 3: have no you know, music experience with the instrument.
Speaker 2: But you chose the band. Yeah, that seems like a
Speaker 2: cool job, Like.
Speaker 3: At an inauguration day they're marching and playing instruments.
Speaker 1: I could probably iron the uniforms.
Speaker 2: Probably a job.
Speaker 1: North America's first zero emission passenger train has come to
Speaker 1: sam Bernardino County.
Speaker 2: It's called ZMU.
Speaker 1: The acronym okay, uses hybrid hydrogen and battery technology to
Speaker 1: power the train. It's going to transport passengers on rail
Speaker 1: lines between sam Bernardino and Redlands.
Speaker 2: Okay, so there you have it. Maybe that'll be the future. Debra,
Speaker 2: do we go?
Speaker 1: Should we go to the earthquake desk for the update
Speaker 1: on the three point nine?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: And I.
Speaker 3: Am.
Speaker 4: She's been bothering herre I need to be more mature
Speaker 4: when it comes to her.
Speaker 1: I think I should tell I think I should tell
Speaker 1: this story on the air.
Speaker 2: You should tell her. Okay.
Speaker 1: So Deborah was going she wanted the job to anchor
Speaker 1: with John and Ken, and I was here and I
Speaker 1: had recently had that job, and so I was talking
Speaker 1: to our boss Robin about it. And Robin's thing has
Speaker 1: always been like, who does she want here and on
Speaker 1: the anchor desk when the big one hits? And I
Speaker 1: said to her, And this was years ago, and I
Speaker 1: said to her, you know, I really like Deborah for
Speaker 1: this role, Like I think Deborah Mark would be great.
Speaker 1: And you always say, you know, when the big one hits,
Speaker 1: who do you want? And I was, like, you want
Speaker 1: Deborah Mark? When the big one hits that little did
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: That Deborah loses.
Speaker 1: Her freaking mind over like a three point two. I
Speaker 1: had no idea.
Speaker 4: I absolutely hate earthquakes. But after Shannon told me that story,
Speaker 4: I said, Okay.
Speaker 2: Do you freak out or is it mostly the dogs?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: No, I freaking out? Oh?
Speaker 4: I absolutely And unfortunately my kids hate earthquakes too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's always so quick. I mean, but you all
Speaker 2: keep saying that one, the big.
Speaker 4: One, but it's not about Okay, Leila, here's the thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, I have to here five years now. I
Speaker 2: know enough about earthquakes. I can tell you the strength
Speaker 2: when I fill them now.
Speaker 4: But you know what, if we can just settle on
Speaker 4: a four to four like we had Monday, I'm cool
Speaker 4: with that, then I'd probably be okay and I would
Speaker 4: enjoy the rolling, right, But I'm always worried that it's
Speaker 4: going to intensify and it's going to be the big
Speaker 4: one and my house is going to fall on top
Speaker 4: of me, or the freeways are gonna buckle down. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's where I go. It's not about the little ones.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you catastrophize. I have that.
Speaker 1: Gary always says to me when we're sitting here in
Speaker 1: the earthquake kids, and he goes, why are you looking
Speaker 1: at me like that? And it's because, Sebra, I'm doing
Speaker 1: the same thing you are. I'm like, yes, this is
Speaker 1: starting off slow, but what if it intensifies.
Speaker 2: Rarely does that happen.
Speaker 1: I feel like in my experience, if it's a big one,
Speaker 1: it's big right away.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 4: But then also, you know, we have these four shocks, right,
Speaker 4: so maybe we have this little you know, four point four.
Speaker 2: I mean, it wasn't so little, and then.
Speaker 4: You know we're dealing with that, and then all of
Speaker 4: a sudden, damn we got the seven to five.
Speaker 1: All right. Well, one of the faces of the Olympics,
Speaker 1: one of the memes that we can't get away from,
Speaker 1: as you pointed out so well earlier, is Rachel Gunn
Speaker 1: aka Began b Girl, Reagan b Girl. I guess just
Speaker 1: means breaking dancing girl, break girl. Okay, Well, she went
Speaker 1: to the Olympics to perform I guess we'll use that
Speaker 1: term loosely break dancing for her country of Australia, and
Speaker 1: it was an unmitigated disaster. She's thirty six. She's actually
Speaker 1: a lecturer at a university.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's going to be hard to go back in
Speaker 2: front of the students. It will be. But how cool
Speaker 2: is that?
Speaker 1: Like if you turned up at the Olympics, your students
Speaker 1: at LMU would be stoked. Even if you went to
Speaker 1: the Olympics and totally crapped the bed.
Speaker 3: I think in front of them they're like, oh, professor,
Speaker 3: that was so cool. But when I turned my back
Speaker 3: in the class, they were like passing notes and laughing, right,
Speaker 3: because this generation is very honest with you.
Speaker 2: They are.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that would not go overwhelm.
Speaker 2: But why are they so honest?
Speaker 1: Is it because like, feelings have been completely taboo for
Speaker 1: so long and now you can talk about them and
Speaker 1: you can just be honest about everything.
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't know. Maybe because they spent a few
Speaker 2: years in the house.
Speaker 3: There's like you just say what you think now, it's
Speaker 3: not like you really think about the person's feelings.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's like a talk show who knows,
Speaker 1: So she notched straight three straight losses. I don't think
Speaker 1: she earned a single point in her round robin portion
Speaker 1: of breaking competition. In Paris, she was up against somebody
Speaker 1: from the United States, France, and Lithuania, and her moves
Speaker 1: turned her into a meme. And at first she thought
Speaker 1: that it was it was nice, it was kind of
Speaker 1: cool that she brought a smile to people's face. But
Speaker 1: now she's going online and asking people to please stop
Speaker 1: being such a holes that she's getting like threats and
Speaker 1: people are going after her family, and it's it's just
Speaker 1: it's too much, she says, please stop. There are petitions
Speaker 1: about her making their way around the internet. She says,
Speaker 1: I was able to appreciate the positivity and bring some
Speaker 1: joy into people's lives, and that's what I hoped for.
Speaker 1: But then the mean people came out, she said. I
Speaker 1: didn't realize it was going to open the door to
Speaker 1: so much hate. It's been devastating, she said. I went
Speaker 1: out there and I had fun. I did take it
Speaker 1: very seriously. I worked my butt off preparing for the Olympics.
Speaker 1: I gave my all, truly. I'm proud to be a
Speaker 1: member of the Australian Olympic team.
Speaker 3: And then her father in law speaking out and other
Speaker 3: family members are talking out today about her father in law,
Speaker 3: Andrew Free, the dad of her her husband, saying that
Speaker 3: the judges and their assessment of her routine they weren't
Speaker 3: they weren't fair and it was a pretty stack competition.
Speaker 3: First of all, I wouldn't call it stat competition. I
Speaker 3: saw all the dancers and great for them from making
Speaker 3: to the Olympics. I think if they're gonna put this
Speaker 3: back in in the future, we need some clear understanding
Speaker 3: as the audience on what they're looking for, like how
Speaker 3: these folks got there.
Speaker 2: Well, it was the first.
Speaker 1: Time, so like when we're watching gymnastics, the commentators are
Speaker 1: able to say, now that was a I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: something up three point turn, and that was a double
Speaker 1: barreled backflip, and that's important because they get three points
Speaker 1: for that, and like the difficulty level of But this
Speaker 1: is so new, I don't think anyone knew what they
Speaker 1: were talking.
Speaker 3: Well, it's the Olympics. You had four years to figure
Speaker 3: it out from the last one, Like what your plan was? Right,
Speaker 3: this is ridiculous And so for her now she's got
Speaker 3: this video on and Instagram and she's telling people like,
Speaker 3: you know, she's explaining herself and she looks all sad and.
Speaker 2: She's like the forlorn videos.
Speaker 3: Well, she should have taken the comments off because people
Speaker 3: don't care. They're calling for an investigation on how.
Speaker 2: She got there. Their point is, ma'am you trained for this?
Speaker 3: And when you watch that performance she gave, I thought
Speaker 3: she was just freestyling, like the little the.
Speaker 1: Move was choreographed, a little move that.
Speaker 2: The toddlers do when they're man.
Speaker 3: They screwed around in a circle like I've seen. I'm
Speaker 3: not being funny, I've seen. I've literally seen that with
Speaker 3: friends kid.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Sure there are experts at that little circle term on
Speaker 3: the shoulder, yes, And there was there was no like
Speaker 3: you know, flip or stand or And I don't know
Speaker 3: if she's even trained as like a breakdancer.
Speaker 2: I thought she was more of.
Speaker 3: Like a robot classicle or I don't know, some other
Speaker 3: kind of dancer.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I got a message from one of our listeners that
Speaker 1: said that one of her friends is Australian and it's
Speaker 1: kind of a classic thing to be over confident first.
Speaker 1: And I don't know anything about Australian women. So don't
Speaker 1: get mad at me. This is just don't shoot the messenger.
Speaker 1: But that it's an overconfidence thing, and that kind of
Speaker 1: rang true to me because when I saw that, and
Speaker 1: I saw the look on her face after she was done,
Speaker 1: and she was like proud of herself, proud of that
Speaker 1: in that.
Speaker 3: Golf outfit, she she thought she came out there and
Speaker 3: killed it.
Speaker 2: I didn't know what happened.
Speaker 1: So like every team they watched tape right on there
Speaker 1: on who the next team they're going to face, they
Speaker 1: spend all week. And if you've got four years to
Speaker 1: prepare for the Olympics, she just four years looking at
Speaker 1: tape of your competitor, who you're up against. And if
Speaker 1: I saw tape of if I knew my skill level
Speaker 1: was what hers was, and I saw tape about what
Speaker 1: the other skill level.
Speaker 2: Was, there's no way at hell I'm going to the Olympics.
Speaker 1: Em just for the sake of saying I'm going to
Speaker 1: the Olympics because I don't want to embarrass myself.
Speaker 2: Or that's all we're talking about now.
Speaker 3: I can't even remember the person who beat her and
Speaker 3: who won, Like who was that person? Everyone's talking about
Speaker 3: this and it it I think for people who take
Speaker 3: break dancing very seriously, not saying she doesn't, but people
Speaker 3: who take it very seriously. It was almost a mockery
Speaker 3: of the art form. It was, you know, people spend
Speaker 3: years learning how to perfect these moves, and none of
Speaker 3: what she did. I'd never seen any of this stuff before.
Speaker 1: They say that the breaking will not be featured in
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty eight Olympics, which will be held in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. They say that's ironic because it's been flourishing
Speaker 1: in New York other cities since the nineteen seventy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but those folks weren't there, that's true. You know,
Speaker 3: back in the eighties when my my sister, older sister
Speaker 3: and her friends were breaking, and you know, we see
Speaker 3: people doing the movies, it was cool and I wanted
Speaker 3: to learning, and they had these you know, these tricks
Speaker 3: and cool things they do.
Speaker 2: I didn't see any of that.
Speaker 3: I I saw people skipping around and rolling on their back,
Speaker 3: like I said.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, three year ol, I did not have either.
Speaker 3: I think what softball and baseball are coming back though
Speaker 3: with la h yes, which yes, that'll be fine. Other
Speaker 3: some other sports. Yeah, so sorry, sorry, Rachel, Reygun.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I hope you have a great school year. Reygun.
Speaker 2: She'll be fine. She'll be fine.
Speaker 1: I think she's old enough to weather this storm. Thirty
Speaker 1: six is old enough to.
Speaker 2: She will forever have those memes, so.
Speaker 1: You I know, they don't go away. That's unfortunate. Two
Speaker 1: Space is out of the tube. It's time for strange science.
Speaker 1: Strange Yah, it's like weird science, but strange. Are you
Speaker 1: watching Law and Order there, Jacob, he's talking to you?
Speaker 2: Or which one cso with iced tea?
Speaker 3: Ah?
Speaker 2: The original? It's a good one.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love an original Law and Order. I mean,
Speaker 1: I love all of them, but that was probably my favorite.
Speaker 1: Did they catch the guy yet or no, they're still
Speaker 1: looking for m Okay. Yeah, it's still early in the hours,
Speaker 1: so about twenty three minutes left of that episode. NASA
Speaker 1: is expecting to make a final decision before the end
Speaker 1: of the month as to when and how to bring
Speaker 1: home those two stranded astronauts. They've been stuck there for
Speaker 1: more than two months after leaving for just an eight
Speaker 1: day trip.
Speaker 3: How does a week and a half night and week
Speaker 3: and a half, a week and a day trip turn
Speaker 3: into an eight month trip.
Speaker 1: Alex Stone yesterday brought up an interesting point underwear.
Speaker 2: You're going somewhere for eight days.
Speaker 1: You're probably gonna pack pack ten pairs of underwear, right
Speaker 1: because we all launch a little extra no laundry in
Speaker 1: space and no laundry in space, so you're in the
Speaker 1: same underwear you've been in since June.
Speaker 3: They're probably up there just in their minds. There's no
Speaker 3: plan really to bring you home. They have options. One
Speaker 3: is the SpaceX Dragon capsule that's supposed to launch with
Speaker 3: new crew members now going up maybe with two and
Speaker 3: then you know, they can join them at the International
Speaker 3: Space Station and then when that trip is up, then
Speaker 3: they'll go back with them. But that extend your trip,
Speaker 3: you know, like another six months, which is not the plan.
Speaker 2: I don't understand.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen all the astronaut movies, the good ones,
Speaker 1: not the ones with Sandra Bullock, and I feel like
Speaker 1: part of the message that they hammer home in those
Speaker 1: movies is we prepare for every eventuality, We prepare for
Speaker 1: every problem. Like what astronauts do the majority of time
Speaker 1: is troubleshoot and figure out ways out of issues. This
Speaker 1: is implausible to me that because I've watched all those movies.
Speaker 1: I think NASA is just the smartest place in the world.
Speaker 1: And why would they find themselves in a pickle?
Speaker 3: Well, the star Liner, I wouldn't want to take that
Speaker 3: back because it just seems like it has too much damage.
Speaker 2: Boeing is in charge at the Starline. There's that too,
Speaker 2: and you wonder how much that's playing into this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like it feels like, you know, we don't know.
Speaker 3: It has a couple of issues. We don't think it's
Speaker 3: too dangerous, but we're not sure it's gonna be the
Speaker 3: safest way back home.
Speaker 1: So the prolonged stay, while not deadly, could have a
Speaker 1: major impact on their bodies. Of course, astronauts have spent
Speaker 1: long stretches in space before last month, NASA astronaut Frank
Speaker 1: Rubio returned from space after three hundred and seventy one days.
Speaker 1: That was the single longest space flight by an American.
Speaker 1: And they say according to NASCA NASA, the risk of cancer,
Speaker 1: heart disease, and cataracts increases because of the radiation in space.
Speaker 2: No thank you.
Speaker 3: Also, your muscles get weaker, your bones grow, weak, bones,
Speaker 3: loose density.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yeah, your muscles will shrink, they say, There
Speaker 1: is exercise equipment on board the ISS, but not enough
Speaker 1: to perfectly maintain and explorers muscles. Astronauts spend at least
Speaker 1: two hours per day working out to prevent the muscle loss.
Speaker 3: They're not doing that they're talking about at this point,
Speaker 3: they're over it. They're like, what is the plan? I
Speaker 3: should have been home already. Oh, they're just letting themselves know.
Speaker 3: They're probably our cameras like watching right now. They have
Speaker 3: these little cameras check and we can check in and
Speaker 3: see what they're doing. I want to ask about the
Speaker 3: underwear situation. Space eyes poor eyesight after being in space.
Speaker 3: Our hearts shrink while we're in space. That's a problem.
Speaker 3: And then the main issue is once they return to
Speaker 3: Earth they report having smaller and weaker hearts.
Speaker 1: Ooh, constipation becomes a problem.
Speaker 3: The problem.
Speaker 1: Without the assistance of gravity, food has a hard time
Speaker 1: working its way through the body. They say that astronauts
Speaker 1: do maintain a special diet. They often lose five percent
Speaker 1: of their body weight during a four to six months stay.
Speaker 1: That's all five percent. I guess you're not moving around
Speaker 1: that much.
Speaker 3: Well, you said they're doing two hours a day on
Speaker 3: the elliptical or whatever they have of there.
Speaker 1: For just iron is an issue. It accumulates in the
Speaker 1: body because blood is just floating around, not pumping as hard.
Speaker 2: And you couldn't convince me, no, I'm just cool. I
Speaker 2: thought it.
Speaker 1: I got to sound great to be stranded out there.
Speaker 2: I did. And now that I'm reading this, they want to.
Speaker 1: Be a crumpled, constipated iron.
Speaker 3: They can't get back home being Yeah, that's awful, you're
Speaker 3: stuck now.
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift, her lyrics in videos are helping fans cope
Speaker 1: with body image issues. She has these lyrics and things
Speaker 1: peppered throughout her songs. In her documentary Miss Americana, she
Speaker 1: discussed how she had to deal with hurtful words from
Speaker 1: the press and people's comments on social media. There were
Speaker 1: some food and science researchers at the University of Vermont
Speaker 1: who kind of seized on this and they wanted to
Speaker 1: understand it. So they searched through TikTok and read it.
Speaker 1: They went through all these posts and coded for the themes
Speaker 1: that they saw. They found that is a role model
Speaker 1: for those dealing with negative food issues, that her transparency
Speaker 1: on the topic destigmatizes eating disorders.
Speaker 3: You probably don't need research for that. I mean, I
Speaker 3: feel like, no, I think these I think these.
Speaker 1: Researchers just wanted to f around on TikTok or get
Speaker 1: some tickets for Swift concerts.
Speaker 3: Butketle will tell you from their own experience, if someone
Speaker 3: is speaking to an issue that they're having, and they
Speaker 3: can relate to that singer or whomever, and it might
Speaker 3: help them realize, like, hey, I'm not in this fight alone.
Speaker 3: Whether it's an eating disorder or you know, or another
Speaker 3: mental health issue, it's right. Just the relatability really anything. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's true. In her lyrics You're on your own kid,
Speaker 3: she talks about the mental anguish many of her fans
Speaker 3: have struggle with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.
Speaker 1: That's just you don't know, that's sowing up. I don't
Speaker 1: know that song either, and.
Speaker 2: Some of her other you know, older stuff. I went
Speaker 2: with a girlfriend and her daughter. Oh you did go,
Speaker 2: that's right? How was it? It was good?
Speaker 1: It was insanity. It was like I would imagine a cult.
Speaker 1: I didn't go to a big college football school, but
Speaker 1: I've seen those games and how crazy people get, and
Speaker 1: it was that kind of vibe. It was at Levi's
Speaker 1: Stadium up where the forty nine ers play, so I
Speaker 1: know it well. I've gone to NFC Championship games there.
Speaker 1: It has never been that insane. I mean the seats,
Speaker 1: my seat, even we were standing, all the entire stands
Speaker 1: were shaking because these kids never sat down and they're
Speaker 1: all dancing.
Speaker 2: And they're insane. How was your friend's daughter shame?
Speaker 1: I kind of just know she was chill. She was
Speaker 1: kind of like it all in, yeah, but I was.
Speaker 1: I was surprised by the number of songs that I
Speaker 1: did not know.
Speaker 3: I always look for the clips when they're online of
Speaker 3: the little kids who get the hats. Then no, Kobe's
Speaker 3: daughter got oh right at the show. But I always
Speaker 3: look at that clip because it always seem like the
Speaker 3: kids still, you know, so excited to see Taylor that
Speaker 3: close and get hurt her black.
Speaker 1: How do you come back from that moment as a
Speaker 1: young girl, Taylor Swift chooses you to give the hat
Speaker 1: to and.
Speaker 2: You walk around the house in that hat.
Speaker 3: You tell your parents, I don't do chores anymore because
Speaker 3: I have Taylor's hat.
Speaker 1: Exactly what monster she's making one of these children? Okay,
Speaker 1: we are in the midst of a strange science. I
Speaker 1: remember engaging in the Science Fair as a youth.
Speaker 2: It was scary for me. I never did well.
Speaker 3: I don't think I ever received a ribbon or you know,
Speaker 3: a certificate for a good job on your science project,
Speaker 3: because it probably was terrible and sucked.
Speaker 1: I think I got third place one year. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: creative one of the.
Speaker 2: Breaks on smart but thank you.
Speaker 1: It was the science experiment was do we have better
Speaker 1: balance with our eyes open or closed?
Speaker 2: And what did you do for your What I did.
Speaker 1: Is I would have I remember the board, you know,
Speaker 1: the three paneled board or whatever I saw, like to
Speaker 1: draw on them.
Speaker 2: That was my thing.
Speaker 1: I had less science, more.
Speaker 2: Creative stand up at the science Sure, stand it.
Speaker 1: Up, you know, and and I would have I had subjects,
Speaker 1: my friends come in, and I would have them balance
Speaker 1: on one leg and then I'd say, now close your
Speaker 1: eyes and would see how they could balance with their
Speaker 1: eyes open, their eyes closed, and male little graph and
Speaker 1: the whole thing.
Speaker 2: I don't remember the outcome.
Speaker 1: I think I feel like it's common sense that you
Speaker 1: would balance better with your eyes open. I mean, that
Speaker 1: sounds pretty stupid to me on a baseline hypothesis.
Speaker 2: But you've seen the studies that people get paid to
Speaker 2: do all the time.
Speaker 1: Right, like the women in Vermont who studied Taylor Swift lyrics, right,
Speaker 1: or someone who's like, how addictive is chocolate?
Speaker 4: Really?
Speaker 3: You're right, you know, on the study for the next
Speaker 3: year with different chocolate bars.
Speaker 2: You know, cheese is more filling. You're right. I am.
Speaker 2: I am a trailblazer in the scientific world.
Speaker 3: No, these kids are, yes, they are their team.
Speaker 1: Well they're from Texas, right, yes, yeah, Woodlands, Texas. And
Speaker 1: they invented with their Science Fair project that they're posing
Speaker 1: in front of, much more detailed than than the ones
Speaker 1: I remember. But they invented a unique water filtration device
Speaker 1: that uses a wall of sound to hold back microplastic
Speaker 1: particles from running water.
Speaker 3: And doing this, they've managed to capture as much as
Speaker 3: ninety four percent of microplastic containments by pushing them away
Speaker 3: from the water's outflow point.
Speaker 2: Their goal, they hope.
Speaker 3: Is that this technology can be used in wastewater treatment
Speaker 3: plants as well as industrial textile plants and rural water sources.
Speaker 3: They're thinking really big and deep and that's awesome.
Speaker 1: Well, and this is something everyone's talking about right now.
Speaker 1: These microplastic particles raining down from that jet stream blowing
Speaker 1: up to the summit of Everest, located at the deepest
Speaker 1: points of the ocean. Once ingested by humans, they've been
Speaker 1: found to infiltrate every organ that has been so far
Speaker 1: examined for them.
Speaker 3: Now, they were here in LA for the big presentation
Speaker 3: of the awards, and you mentioned earlier they won some big.
Speaker 1: Money, fifty thousand dollars. What do you do with fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars if you are a young scientist.
Speaker 3: Right living at home, not paying bills and all that
Speaker 3: good stuff. I don't know, video games, maybe junk food.
Speaker 3: Now that I'm I'm like invested in something, you know,
Speaker 3: But back then, I mean, who knows what you're thinking
Speaker 3: at sixteen or however, Oh, they are.
Speaker 2: Gift cards to their favorite fast food place. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe they're thinking big, like oh, this is for college.
Speaker 1: Or they're probably doing something smart with their money, unlike
Speaker 1: things that we would do.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Well, Leila, this has been so much, it's been wonderful,
Speaker 1: really long.
Speaker 3: We should come in here and hang out with you.

Speaker 3: text you I appreciated it.
Speaker 1: Where you texted earlier this week about the protest on
Speaker 1: the four oh five and things to your hell, it.
Speaker 3: Was because, you know, and I was heading in the
Speaker 3: opposite direction. I was heading northbound, and I believe the
Speaker 3: protesters had shut down the southbound side, but it was
Speaker 3: right where I was trying to get on it, so
Speaker 3: I had to do all the detours around the smaller streets.
Speaker 2: But again, people have the right to protest.
Speaker 3: That's fine, you want to exercise your right to vois
Speaker 3: your opinion, But why the four oh five.
Speaker 2: Don't do it on the forest five. Don't do it
Speaker 2: on the four all five during rush hour.
Speaker 3: Please pick somewhere else because the people you know who
Speaker 3: will hear your concerns aren't on the foural five.
Speaker 1: No one's gonna have any compassion for you screwing up
Speaker 1: their commute already, and it's already.
Speaker 3: Yeah, every day it was, But I was able to
Speaker 3: detour and make it to I had a live segment
Speaker 3: I had to get to, and I made it there
Speaker 3: early and plenty of time. But still I'm like, you know, listen,
Speaker 3: four or five, it's even like even when the Vice
Speaker 3: president comes to town and goes to her Brentwood home. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm like, madam vice President, if you don't pick another
Speaker 3: time besides eight am to catch your flight, like, do
Speaker 3: not I shut.
Speaker 2: Down the four five between rushot where it's like, do
Speaker 2: not do that.
Speaker 1: The hate transcends any political party for me when anybody
Speaker 1: comes to town. Leila Mohammed, you can find her on
Speaker 1: social media at Leila Mohammad TV. You can catch her
Speaker 1: on NBC and you can if you want to have her.
