Speaker 3: good day.
Speaker 1: All I want to say is you guys are freaking awesome.
Speaker 4: Okay, great show.

Speaker 4: What else is going on? Time for What's Happening?
Speaker 6: What's Happening is sponsored by Abner GA Water Damage, Fire
Speaker 6: Damage Burglary called public Adjuster Abner Gat eight one eight
Speaker 6: nine one seven five two five.
Speaker 2: Peals Court down in Georgia has disqualified the Atlanta prosecutor
Speaker 2: who brought an election interference case against President elect Trump.
Speaker 2: This was kind of a surprise move, but it throws
Speaker 2: the entire case now into disarray.
Speaker 4: Two to one decision.
Speaker 2: Three judge panel reversed the trial judge, who a few
Speaker 2: months ago had allowed Fani Willis, the DA in Fulton
Speaker 2: County to keep the case despite revelations about oh, you know,
Speaker 2: she was banging around with the guy who she hired
Speaker 2: to manage the prosecution. All three of the appeals judges
Speaker 2: happened to be Republican appointees, and it is likely to
Speaker 2: be appealed to the full Court of Appeals. If it stands,
Speaker 2: it would probably mean that entire case is going to
Speaker 2: fall apart. The EPA has granted a couple of requests
Speaker 2: from the state of California to enforce strict standards for
Speaker 2: vehicle emissions, including a rule aimed at banning sales of
Speaker 2: new gas powered cars in the state by twenty thirty five.
Speaker 2: The administration that is in coming, though, is likely to.
Speaker 4: Reverse the ban.
Speaker 2: I mentioned this first yesterday, but there's some more details
Speaker 2: about California Governor Newsom declaring a state of emergency to
Speaker 2: try to streamline and expedite the state's response to the
Speaker 2: bird flu. This declaration is a result of more cases
Speaker 2: being detected in southern California dairy cows. There no confirmed
Speaker 2: person to person spread of bird flu. Almost all the
Speaker 2: cases in California involved somebody who had been who had
Speaker 2: come in contact with infected cattle. The suspect in the
Speaker 2: killing of United Healthcare CEO is back in New York today.
Speaker 2: He's going to be facing federal charges of murder and stalking.
Speaker 2: Escalates this case after his earlier indictment on the state charges.
Speaker 2: He's going to go back to New York or he
Speaker 2: is back in New York and at a federal court.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, after his Pennsylvania court appearance today,
Speaker 2: was immediately turned over to at least a dozen New
Speaker 2: York Police officers who were in the courtroom.
Speaker 4: They led him to a plane.
Speaker 2: Plane took him to Long Island, then taken away by
Speaker 2: helicopter over to Manhattan. The FBI is looking into the
Speaker 2: death of a cruise ship passenger on board a cruise
Speaker 2: ship that had set sale from Sokal. This passenger died,
Speaker 2: they said, Friday, after an incident on a Royal Caribbean
Speaker 2: cruise ship that had departed Friday from San Pedro down
Speaker 2: to Ensnata. And the video that people took on the
Speaker 2: cruise ship, you can see this guy without a shirt on,
Speaker 2: yelling at a hallway, kicking a door. It's hard to
Speaker 2: tell if he was actually trying to kick it down
Speaker 2: or just make noise. The video also appeared to show
Speaker 2: a confrontation with some security personnel in the hallway. The
Speaker 2: Medical Examiner's office set a cause of death in the
Speaker 2: case has been deferred. The final medical report is expected
Speaker 2: about six to eight weeks because they have to do toxicology.
Speaker 2: How about some good this is good holiday news. Do
Speaker 2: you remember when COVID hit, We thought the world was ending.
Speaker 2: And one of the things that we was sort of
Speaker 2: concurrent with COVID was the murder hornets that had moved
Speaker 2: in to North America. Mark Davidson, Deputy administrator at the
Speaker 2: USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspectius Service, says, we are
Speaker 2: proud of this landmark victory in the fight against invasive species.
Speaker 2: That they have not caught any murder hornets in Washington
Speaker 2: State in the last few months, so they believe that
Speaker 2: they have eradicated murder hornets from the continental United States.
Speaker 2: We have something we can be happy about going into
Speaker 2: the holiday season. Our small business shout out coming up
Speaker 2: when we could all use it. How about Elite Fitness
Speaker 2: from downtown sant Ana. We'll talk with them when we
Speaker 2: come back to Gary and Shannon, Deborah Mark.
Speaker 4: Did a great job at zu Zoo. Thank you. What's
Speaker 4: going on?
Speaker 1: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 1: Am six forty.
Speaker 2: Shannon bugged out a little Loris. She's headed over to SOFI.
Speaker 2: Of course, the Broncos are at SOFI tonight to take
Speaker 2: on the Chargers Thursday night. Football winner is going to
Speaker 2: have a leg up on second place in the AFC WES,
Speaker 2: So it's a pretty important, almost playoff kind of game.
Speaker 4: Tonight.
Speaker 2: College bowl game if you're interested in the R and L.
Speaker 2: Carrier's New Orleans Bowl is tonight between the Georgia Southern
Speaker 2: Eagles and the Sam Houston Bearcats there in New Orleans.
Speaker 2: The stocks and bonds sold off yesterday. The Fed ended
Speaker 2: its policy meeting with a new set of economic projections,
Speaker 2: probably a slower pace of interest rate cuts next year
Speaker 2: than previously forecast. And we also saw a tenth straight
Speaker 2: day of the Dow Jones Industrial average in negative territory.
Speaker 2: As of right now, it's in positive territory, not as
Speaker 2: high as it was earlier in the day, but it's
Speaker 2: still up one hundred and eighty eight points right now
Speaker 2: at forty two thousand and five thirteen and then one
Speaker 2: of the other stories today is a twenty year old
Speaker 2: guy out of Carlsbad has been detained for allegedly planning
Speaker 2: a mass shooting at a government building in a parallel
Speaker 2: coordinated attack, apparently with the shooting at that Christian school
Speaker 2: in Madison, Wisconsin this week. This twenty year old Alex
Speaker 2: Paffendorf was exchanging messages with a fifteen year old shooter.
Speaker 2: Restraining order said that he admitted to the FBI that
Speaker 2: he told this girl that he was going to arm
Speaker 2: himself with explosives and a gun that would target a
Speaker 2: target a government building.
Speaker 7: Correct. This is good, so good.
Speaker 2: I can't tell if Shannon's part of the story or
Speaker 2: just interjecting actual lines from real life.
Speaker 8: Hey, I just wanted to say you guys did a
Speaker 8: phenomenal job on the Christmas Special today. It was really
Speaker 8: really well done. I really enjoyed it had some great
Speaker 8: funny parts. And then when Tim Conway Junior came in
Speaker 8: at the end, I mean like bringing in an.
Speaker 4: Actual movie star. Wow, that was.
Speaker 8: Awesome because he is a movie star. You know that.
Speaker 8: And anyway, great job, guys, Wow, I.
Speaker 4: Love your show. But whatever you're doing today after eleven
Speaker 4: o'clock is some of the worst radio I've ever heard
Speaker 4: it from my hire life. That's mean.
Speaker 2: Well, every Thursday, we'd like to jump into the small
Speaker 2: business shout out and we like to highlight some of
Speaker 2: those all businesses around southern California. Joining us today, Joaque
Speaker 2: Martinez is the owner of Elite Fitness Downtown right there
Speaker 2: in Santa Ana. Small group, personal training, fun, confidence, fitness,
Speaker 2: all that stuff kind of plays into this welcome in,
Speaker 2: thanks for coming in, Thank you for having me, Gaby Hey,
Speaker 2: this world of wellness, of working out, et cetera. How
Speaker 2: do you how do you make that into a career?
Speaker 2: How do you decide that's what you want to do. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was almost by accident.
Speaker 9: So I it wasn't a career option when I was
Speaker 9: growing up in high school. I graduated in ninety seven,
Speaker 9: and it wasn't It wasn't around. We had Bali's and
Speaker 9: the Big Gym's twenty four hour fitness, but nothing like this.
Speaker 9: I got into it pretty late, so I was thirty
Speaker 9: years old and I became a trainer at Bally's Total
Speaker 9: Fitness of Santana.
Speaker 4: And I loved it immediately.
Speaker 9: I knew this that was the fitness space was something
Speaker 9: I wanted to be into and talk to other trainers
Speaker 9: around and kind of ask what are what are their
Speaker 9: aspirations and what kind of the goals for them? And
Speaker 9: they said they want to open gym. So I thought,
Speaker 9: you know, I could do that too. And it took
Speaker 9: me about four and a half years from when I
Speaker 9: first started as a trainer, so opening my first location
Speaker 9: and I only have one, but the goal.
Speaker 2: Is to have multipay. That's why it's a small business.
Speaker 2: Ches right things. While we're not talking to ballets today,
Speaker 2: we're talking to waken appreciate this. There have been changes
Speaker 2: when it comes to health and wellness. I think in
Speaker 2: the last I want to say, probably ten to twenty years,
Speaker 2: ten to fifteen years something like that, where as I
Speaker 2: got older and started becoming more conscious of well, what
Speaker 2: exercising meant, how you're supposed to control diet and things
Speaker 2: like that. One of the big things that people say
Speaker 2: is that you can't outrun a bad diet or you
Speaker 2: can't outwork a bad diet. How does that play into
Speaker 2: what you how you coach people. So we coach people
Speaker 2: to really build muscle. First of all, nutrition is part
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 9: You have to have the exercise and the nutrition also,
Speaker 9: but there's other factors to like sleep stress that I'll
Speaker 9: plays a huge factor in your overall fitness level.
Speaker 4: We tend not to put people on diets.
Speaker 9: We don't like to restrict people and put them on
Speaker 9: calorie deficits. Not off the bat, we kind of bring
Speaker 9: them in and say, hey, let's start your routine first.
Speaker 9: Let's make that a habit. Let's put that on autopilot.
Speaker 9: Your brain likes that. And then once they once they
Speaker 9: have some kind of like winds quick wins, like the
Speaker 9: energy level comes and they're they're seeing some definition, the
Speaker 9: genes fit easier, then we kind of say, all right,
Speaker 9: you ready to really dial it in. We can do
Speaker 9: some tracking and macro tracking, macro nutrients, calorie tracking, and
Speaker 9: then it's not so tedious, you know what I mean,
Speaker 9: it's not overwhelming for them at that point.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like that idea. Getting those first early wins.
Speaker 2: Got to get it because if you know, you don't
Speaker 2: work out for a long time, you get back into
Speaker 2: the gym or do whatever you run or however you're
Speaker 2: going to do it, you're gonna be sore for a
Speaker 2: couple of days. But after that third day, you start
Speaker 2: to feel different. You sleep better a lot of times,
Speaker 2: you feel more confident, even if your body hasn't visually
Speaker 2: changed a whole lot. You start to feel that for
Speaker 2: the inside out. And I think that's a that's a
Speaker 2: great philosophy. Do you do you do a lot of
Speaker 2: large groups or is it small groups? Is it individuals?
Speaker 9: Yeah, we're a small gym, so about three thousand square feet,
Speaker 9: so it doesn't allow us to do big groups. I
Speaker 9: did one on one for the first I would say
Speaker 9: seven years that I was there, that I've been here,
Speaker 9: and then the last three years we transition to small
Speaker 9: group personal training. So anywhere from one person, we won't
Speaker 9: we won't cancel the session just because there's one person,
Speaker 9: but we will go to six. We won't go past
Speaker 9: six because then we could still keep an eye on people.
Speaker 9: Average is like three.
Speaker 4: And four right now.
Speaker 2: O C is probably right smack in the middle of
Speaker 2: people who love themselves a lot. I mean they're just
Speaker 2: I mean they're doing it because they want they want
Speaker 2: to look good for the beach or something.
Speaker 4: Absolutely. Yeah, well, there's nothing, there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2: I think that's great because it encourages people to get
Speaker 2: out there and do something. But what are some of
Speaker 2: the big falsehoods that people bring into the gym are
Speaker 2: the people, you know, beliefs that they may have thought
Speaker 2: when they grew up, this is the way we worked
Speaker 2: out because it was the best way to do it.
Speaker 4: Things like that. It's a great question, Gary, it's weight.
Speaker 4: It's the number on the scale.
Speaker 9: So they come in and they think that they that weight,
Speaker 9: the number on the scale should just go down, no
Speaker 9: matter what happens, it should just go down, and they
Speaker 9: focus just on the scale, the weight. So what we
Speaker 9: tell them, what we educate them on, is we don't
Speaker 9: want to just go on weight because it's such a variable.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 9: You got you got your blood, your water in there,
Speaker 9: you got bones, you got your tongue, you got nails.
Speaker 9: Everything's weight, right. But the things that we can't control
Speaker 9: that don't change your body fat and your muscle. So
Speaker 9: when people work out, especially for the first month, they're
Speaker 9: going to gain some muscle, right, and the body fat
Speaker 9: might come down a little bit. The scale's gonna show
Speaker 9: weight gain, right, And so if they just look at
Speaker 9: the weight, they think they failed. And that's about seven
Speaker 9: people and they stop or.
Speaker 4: They just stopped.
Speaker 9: They don't even go to another they just completely stop.
Speaker 9: See it's not working this time. I told you you
Speaker 9: know that kind of head trash. So when we tell
Speaker 9: them no, look you gain muscle. How do you feel
Speaker 9: you feel more energy? Yes, then then we can. Now
Speaker 9: we got them a quick win, and then we just
Speaker 9: build on that. Yes, it's the scale.
Speaker 2: You start the engine and then when you when you
Speaker 2: refine the fuel that goes into it, the engine runs
Speaker 2: even cleaner and it sort of probably takes care of
Speaker 2: itself a lot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can use that as you want. You can
Speaker 4: use that too.
Speaker 2: All right, We're just going to start the car. That's
Speaker 2: what you're doing. You start in the car. The gasoline
Speaker 2: may have been in there a while, and you're gonna
Speaker 2: you know, you'll fix it eventually. You just want to
Speaker 2: get this thing running.
Speaker 4: A little bit. I like that car analogy. Man're welcome. Also,
Speaker 4: that's to you for pretty cheap.
Speaker 2: And then you do You do have coaches, right, I
Speaker 2: mean that's kind of what you refer to yourself and
Speaker 2: other employees probably, Yes, coaches.
Speaker 9: We have three coaches, two full time in one part time,
Speaker 9: and we run an internship program. We stand on a
Speaker 9: college where we get people from their kinesiology department. Students great,
Speaker 9: and we'll bring them in and we'll do a three
Speaker 9: month internship with them. If we like them, we'll keep
Speaker 9: them on. If not, then hey, the world's got some
Speaker 9: better trainers out there.
Speaker 2: Christmas is coming up and a lot of people have
Speaker 2: fitness stuff on their on their lists. I assume you know,
Speaker 2: you can go anywhere from like a Peloton bike for
Speaker 2: a couple thousand, or a rowing machine or the treadmills,
Speaker 2: stuff like that, but there's also simple things like barbells
Speaker 2: or catibils. If you had to get one thing for
Speaker 2: someone to start this this fitness program, what would you
Speaker 2: get them.
Speaker 4: I would get them a personal trainer. That's a great answer. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't think.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think a piece of equipment is great in
Speaker 9: all but if they don't know how to use it,
Speaker 9: it's gonna it's gonna become a hangar for clothes. But
Speaker 9: if they get education, instruction, guidance, that's something that will
Speaker 9: last in my lifetime.
Speaker 2: And that's one of the things I think people is
Speaker 2: go to a go to a gym, go to Elite
Speaker 2: Fitness downtown, find what exercises work for you. Or which
Speaker 2: ones you enjoy doing and then get.
Speaker 4: A piece of equipment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys have an event coming up on Saturday, Yes,
Speaker 2: hike and brew at Peters Canyon.
Speaker 4: Would tell us about that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So we link up with the Assistance League of
Speaker 9: San Aana. It's a nonprofit organization and that's our charity
Speaker 9: where we donate to them a lot. So Saturday, we're
Speaker 9: having a hike for not just members, but everybody out
Speaker 9: there on our list, anybody listening. We will HiPE Peters
Speaker 9: Canyons about a three and a three point two mile
Speaker 9: track and then we head back to Elite And.
Speaker 4: One of our clients is a home brewer.
Speaker 9: He's an award winning home brewer and he donated a
Speaker 9: bunch of beer to the event. I think he's We
Speaker 9: got an ale and a a red.
Speaker 2: So post hike beer, it tastes better after that, it
Speaker 2: really does. And then you guys are also giving away
Speaker 2: a free complimentary week of training at Elite Fitness Downtown.

Speaker 9: getting there again.
Speaker 4: It comes up. Before, it was weird.
Speaker 9: Before it was like March for some reason, and now
Speaker 9: it's January.
Speaker 2: Well, here's I think the explanation is. In January, people
Speaker 2: say I'll do it myself, yes, and then a few
Speaker 2: weeks go by and they go, I can't do this myself.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 2: Joaquen Martinez, owner of Elite Fitness Downtown in Santa Anna.

Speaker 4: I appreciate you, Thank you for having me. Gary and
Speaker 4: Shannon will continue.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI. AM.
Speaker 2: Welcome to this Thursday, December nineteenth. A couple stories that
Speaker 2: were following. We know that Luigi Mangioni ended up back
Speaker 2: in New York. He was extradited from Pennsylvania to New
Speaker 2: York today to face federal charges of murder and stalking
Speaker 2: in the death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The
Speaker 2: case is Mangioni was in court in Pennsylvania this morning,
Speaker 2: waived his extradition. Judge Roberts damped it and within just
Speaker 2: minutes he was taken out of that courtroom by a
Speaker 2: bunch of New York Police Department officers. They led him
Speaker 2: to a plane that went to Long Island, taken to
Speaker 2: a by helicopter. He looked about the same. He's been
Speaker 2: clean shaven because he's been spending a couple of days
Speaker 2: in jail. They did not ask for bail, at least
Speaker 2: not right now. That could change. A government shutdown is
Speaker 2: at risk and House Speaker Mike Johnson's trying to figure
Speaker 2: out how to meet President elect Trump's dem and to
Speaker 2: try to keep his own job. Trump did say that
Speaker 2: he expects Johnson would easily remain Speaker for the next
Speaker 2: Congress if if he acts decisively and tough in coming
Speaker 2: up with a new plan to also increase the debt limit,
Speaker 2: which that was not part of the original deal that
Speaker 2: they thought they had yesterday, apparently CNN is reporting the
Speaker 2: Republican lawmakers they do have a government funding agreement that
Speaker 2: has been reached, but have offered no details. And again,
Speaker 2: this is to try it to try to avoid a
Speaker 2: government shut down late Friday night into Saturday morning when
Speaker 2: the current continuing resolution would expire. Sounds like all they're
Speaker 2: going to do is come up with yet another continuing
Speaker 2: resolution to kick this thing down the road about three months.
Speaker 2: As we have seen over and over and over again
Speaker 2: THEFI It's a Wonderful Life that played at eleven o'clock.
Speaker 2: We're going to play that back again next week at Christmas,
Speaker 2: So if you haven't heard it, you can actually catch
Speaker 2: it on the podcast, but we will play it again
Speaker 2: next week.
Speaker 4: Yes, that was the best.
Speaker 7: He nailed it.
Speaker 6: I love that movie.
Speaker 7: And you made it relevant to our lives of listeners
Speaker 7: on the CAFI Radio show, just holding back some tears.
Speaker 3: You guys are so cute.
Speaker 7: Merry Christmas, very funny.
Speaker 4: I loved it well. Charlie Brown's Christmas.
Speaker 11: Next, Oh my God, Gary and Shannon, my husband Bill
Speaker 11: and I Sparks Nevada.
Speaker 1: Just listen to it.
Speaker 11: It's a wonderful life and it was better than last year.
Speaker 4: It was awesome, absolutely awesome.
Speaker 6: Thank you for the good laughs.
Speaker 11: Keep it the God work, Take care of Merry Christmas, Happy.
Speaker 4: New Yearnon Merry Christmas from Ach and South Carolina. Love
Speaker 4: you guys.
Speaker 2: Used to see you guys every day out there in
Speaker 2: KFI when I was in California.
Speaker 4: Mission News and Bruise. Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Speaker 4: you too. Great job on the podcast. Thank you.
Speaker 2: There was a story that I wanted to revisit because
Speaker 2: it's been floating around and I've been seeing a lot
Speaker 2: of people talking about it on social media. It's this
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal article today that says how the White
Speaker 2: House functioned with a diminished Biden in charge. Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 2: you could argue leans a little bit more conservative than
Speaker 2: other media outlets, but it basically said that since Joe
Speaker 2: Biden was running for president, it actually refers to some
Speaker 2: campaign issues. But since he was running for president in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, aids and advisors have known he's not the
Speaker 2: same guy that he used to be. It's been on display,
Speaker 2: probably most prominently in June when he was in a
Speaker 2: very early debate with Donald Trump and had a hard time,
Speaker 2: and it was that debate performance that eventually led him
Speaker 2: to drop out of the race. There was a couple things, though,
Speaker 2: that this Wall Street Journal article points out, and that
Speaker 2: is that aids keep his meetings short. They're very careful
Speaker 2: to schedule them in short increments, never in the morning,
Speaker 2: because apparently he's not a morning guy. That some of
Speaker 2: the meetings with some of his most important cabinet officials,
Speaker 2: people like the secretaries of Defense and Treasury, etc. Have
Speaker 2: become fewer and farther between, because he's not able to
Speaker 2: keep up with those meetings. The way the Wall Street
Speaker 2: Journal puts it is presidents have always had gate keepers,
Speaker 2: but in Biden's case, the walls around him were higher
Speaker 2: and the controls greater than any other president recently. If
Speaker 2: you remember the fall of last year, President Biden had
Speaker 2: a interview with the Special Council who was interviewing classified documents,
Speaker 2: his storage of classified documents, and the President said he
Speaker 2: wanted to sit down for this interview, but the top
Speaker 2: aids around him knew that that was going to be
Speaker 2: an uphill climb, So they did practice sessions with him,
Speaker 2: literally three hours a day for about a week. They
Speaker 2: would do practice sessions so that when the President sat
Speaker 2: down with the Special Council, he'd know what answers, what
Speaker 2: questions to expect, and what answers to give. They said
Speaker 2: that during the practice sessions the energy levels were up
Speaker 2: and down, that he had a hard time recalling the
Speaker 2: lines that his team had previously discussed with him, and
Speaker 2: the White House official said that Biden was not showing
Speaker 2: his age in the prep and that anything that came
Speaker 2: out of the any concern that came out of those sessions,
Speaker 2: was actually related to his willingness to overshare, is what
Speaker 2: they said. But then he sits down with the Special
Speaker 2: Council and the interview did not go well. Multiple blunders.
Speaker 2: You can see him in the transcripts. Biden didn't recall
Speaker 2: that in the prep sessions he had been shown his
Speaker 2: own handwritten memo that argued against a surge of troops
Speaker 2: in Afghanistan.
Speaker 4: And that was just one.
Speaker 2: That was just one of the lengthy interviews with Biden
Speaker 2: over the last four years that concluded with this thing.
Speaker 2: You remember one of the reasons that they weren't going
Speaker 2: to prosecute the president for having the classified documents because
Speaker 2: a jury was likely to view him as quote, sympathetic,
Speaker 2: well meaning, elderly man.
Speaker 4: With a poor memory.
Speaker 2: This article relies on conversations with forty plus I think
Speaker 2: it's fifty members of Congress, members of the administration, presidential advisors,
Speaker 2: people close to him for that information. So it's a
Speaker 2: pretty crazy read about what it is that's going on
Speaker 2: in the White House. Up next our strange science stories.
Speaker 2: How about the mastodon jaw or micro plastics? What are
Speaker 2: we going to do about all of that strange science?
Speaker 2: When we come back to Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: A couple stories that we are following. The FAA has
Speaker 2: issued a month long ban on drone flights over a
Speaker 2: large swath of New Jersey. This band would continue through
Speaker 2: the middle of January and prohibits flights in airspace near
Speaker 2: twenty two different towns and cities in New Jersey, including
Speaker 2: three of the state's largest Camden, Elizabeth and Jersey City.
Speaker 2: Only the drone pilots authorized to operate for national defense,
Speaker 2: law enforcement, or disaster response are permitted to send those
Speaker 2: unmanned drones aloft in New Jersey again until the middle
Speaker 2: of January. Counter Terrorism officials in the UK say they
Speaker 2: have stopped three late stage terrorist attacks in just the
Speaker 2: last twelve months. Vicki evans Is, the Senior National Coordinator

Speaker 2: Before we get into strained science, the cast. Amy King
Speaker 2: was the narrator. Jacob Gonzalez was Joseph Shannon of course
Speaker 2: was Clarence I was Gary, the Handle was mister Gower.
Speaker 2: Oscar Ramirez was Pop's Bailey, Keana Ramondo was Mary Bailey,

Speaker 2: own Zuzu.
Speaker 4: It's time for stray science, strange science.
Speaker 10: It's like weird science, but strange.
Speaker 2: Well, scientists in China have come up with a possible
Speaker 2: solution to all of our microplastics, a biodegradable sponge made
Speaker 2: of squid bones and cotton. They're saying they want to
Speaker 2: use the kitan from squid bones and cellulos from cotton
Speaker 2: to create a biodegradable sponge. And then they tested the
Speaker 2: sponge in four different water samples, lake and seawater and
Speaker 2: found it removed up to ninety nine point nine percent
Speaker 2: of microplastics. That would be a huge, huge find if
Speaker 2: that thing comes comes to fruition. A complete mastodon jaw
Speaker 2: has been found in the backyard of a home in
Speaker 2: New York, along with some other bits and pieces of
Speaker 2: that herbivore. The first hints came in late in September.
Speaker 2: Residents found a couple of giant teeth in the shade
Speaker 2: of some plant fronds on the proper near Scotch Town
Speaker 2: in Orange County, New York. Little digging showed two more
Speaker 2: teeth just a few inches below the ground. And the
Speaker 2: guy said, when I found the teeth and examined them
Speaker 2: in my hands, I knew that they were something special.
Speaker 2: So we called in the professionals from the New York
Speaker 2: State Museum and the State University of New York and
Speaker 2: Orange to investigate even further. Mentioned this one a little
Speaker 2: bit earlier. Today, you see Davis study shows a novel
Speaker 2: behavior in squirrels here in California. They're now hunting like carnivores,
Speaker 2: taking down and then consuming other smaller rodents. It's ongoing
