Speaker 5: I'm Gary and I actually buckled down up.
Speaker 3: I just like to be different. I've never noticed that
Speaker 3: I'd said it twice today I have not. Well, I
Speaker 3: should start listening to you. Huh. I'm Gary. My son
Speaker 3: sold a Ford Ranger to John from Chips. Oh that's
Speaker 3: a poll. That is a poll. I'm Gary in a
Speaker 3: boyfriend for you and half and his name is Andy.
Speaker 3: And I'm still jealous. Oh my god. Everybody remembers every
Speaker 3: single thing.
Speaker 1: It's what else is going on?
Speaker 3: No, it's only because you are.
Speaker 1: You have very few flaws, so it's nice to pile
Speaker 1: on a little bit.
Speaker 3: I got a bunch of them.
Speaker 1: California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Laura is going to meet with
Speaker 1: representatives from State Farm and Consumer Watchdog to discuss what's
Speaker 1: going on with the recent price hike. A request when
Speaker 1: it comes to you know, insurance and how we can't
Speaker 1: get it in many places.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we know that State Farm was looking for a
Speaker 2: twenty two percent increase for non tenant homeowners, fifteen percent
Speaker 2: for tenants, fifteen percent for renters, fifteen percent for tenants
Speaker 2: that were unit owners, and thirty eight percent for rental dwellings.
Speaker 2: And at first Ricardo Lara rejected that request but basically
Speaker 2: said that he's going to need to meet with them.
Speaker 2: It said that he wouldn't agree to the increase without
Speaker 2: meeting with them. Now that he's met with them, he
Speaker 2: says he's going to carefully consider the request and hopes
Speaker 2: to reach your decision sometime in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: This is happening everywhere.
Speaker 1: To Oh, sorry, this is my stupid computer. I got
Speaker 1: a silence at there I go. This is happening everywhere where.
Speaker 1: These catalytic converters are being stolen right and just sold off.
Speaker 1: The pupil are stealing Our car was stolen, one of
Speaker 1: our cars stolen for them to steal the catalytic convert
Speaker 1: They didn't they didn't want the car. They just wanted
Speaker 1: the metal that goes with the converter. Well, sometimes the
Speaker 1: people that steal these will shoot and kill you, so
Speaker 1: don't mess around with it. Englewood police searching for two suspects.
Speaker 1: Man shot and killed when he interrupted one of these
Speaker 1: thefts outside his home on Tuesday morning. He was heading
Speaker 1: to work when he heard a noise at the neighbor's
Speaker 1: house and he tried to stop the theft, shot in
Speaker 1: the chest and killed.
Speaker 2: This is exactly what happened to Johnny Whacter, that soap
Speaker 2: opera actor back in May. He was shot by people
Speaker 2: trying to steal his catalytic converter. Unemployment claims have risen
Speaker 2: to two hundred and forty two thousand. That's the highest
Speaker 2: in three months. The number of people filing for benefits
Speaker 2: rose for the first time by twenty two thousand for
Speaker 2: the week that ended February second. Analysts had predicted that
Speaker 2: or two hundred and twenty thousand, but they actually got
Speaker 2: two hundred forty two thousand. Tomorrow, No, not tomorrow, be
Speaker 2: next Friday, we will get our unemployment report for the
Speaker 2: month of February.
Speaker 1: We told you about the death of Michelle Trachtenberg yesterday,
Speaker 1: just thirty nine years old.
Speaker 3: She was in Buffy she was Spy Kids or what
Speaker 3: have you.
Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly what that movie was gossip Girl
Speaker 1: euro Trip, a very prominent actress if you were coming
Speaker 1: of age late nineties, early two thousand's, and she died
Speaker 1: at thirty nine. She had recently had a liver transplant,
Speaker 1: problems with alcohol had been there for a long time.
Speaker 1: She died, and the initial report was maybe the liver
Speaker 1: did not take to her body, that her body rejected
Speaker 1: that transplant. The family now is objected to an autopsy
Speaker 1: for religious reasons, so the medical Examiner's office was unable
Speaker 1: to determine how she died. And that's just the way
Speaker 1: it's gonna that's just the way it's going to be.
Speaker 1: No suspicion of foul play have been associated with her death,
Speaker 1: and I mean, I get it. This is somebody who
Speaker 1: was appearing in recent videos, very frail, unhealthy, and why why,
Speaker 1: why would you need to go through with the autopsy
Speaker 1: as a family and pinpoint exactly what the problem was.
Speaker 2: Today is a national strawberry Day pointed that out Era
Speaker 2: one is selling a single strawberry for nineteen dollars.
Speaker 3: Of course they are, They do that every day, right.
Speaker 2: It's called the Elie Ami fruit strawberry from clear packaging.
Speaker 2: There's a TikTok person whose name I'm not going to
Speaker 2: tell you that did this said, Yes, this is the
Speaker 2: best strawberry I've ever.
Speaker 3: Had in my life, she said.
Speaker 2: She shouted out in the middle of the store and said,
Speaker 2: I'm going to eat every last bit of it.
Speaker 1: You're an idiot if you've got enough money to throw
Speaker 1: away nineteen dollars on a single strawberry and then you're
Speaker 1: going to brag about it. Come on, isn't this a
Speaker 1: overprice place where you pay through the nose for your foods?
Speaker 2: It sounds like it's a place from Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 2: But I've never been to Erawe as a grocery store.
Speaker 3: I've heard it's great but wildly overpriced. Yeah, that sounds me.
Speaker 1: And then it kind of takes away the greatness of it.
Speaker 1: It's like you buy a boxed meal or whatever and it's,
Speaker 1: you know, twenty five dollars and it's delicious, but you're like,
Speaker 1: I just paid twenty five dollars for lunch?
Speaker 3: What am I doing? I mean, you're full, but you're
Speaker 3: punching yourself for doing that. I don't think.
Speaker 1: Full is their endgame there. I think it's more like,
Speaker 1: you know, locally sourced honey fed mites that eat the
Speaker 1: sparkles from pelicans.
Speaker 3: And that's where your berries.
Speaker 1: Come from, honey fed mites. Listen, I'm just making things
Speaker 1: up because I'm a doctor.
Speaker 2: Dude, I'm Gary.
Speaker 3: I like to eat strawberries in the nude. What that
Speaker 3: was a visual? That guy had a little extra at
Speaker 3: the end.
Speaker 4: Oooo. It's Pahito is pehito ens and Maso was gott
Speaker 4: Gottia sel Mecurti, el mas bonito, elm.
Speaker 3: So stupid socid. It's good, so good, all right?
Speaker 2: Uh Oscar winning actor Gene Hackman and his wife and
Speaker 2: one of their dogs found dead in their home in
Speaker 2: New Mexico. Foul play not suspected, but they're not ruling
Speaker 2: anything out as of right now because the investigation is ongoing.
Speaker 2: Gene Hackman was ninety five years old, his his wife,
Speaker 2: Betsy Arakawa, sixty three years old. Deputies entered their home
Speaker 2: to do a welfare check just about one five yesterday
Speaker 2: afternoon when those bodies were found.
Speaker 1: They say it appeared that her body had decomposed more
Speaker 1: than his had, and that her hands and feet to
Speaker 1: a point were mummified. And I looked it up and
Speaker 1: science says in a typical mummification process, hands are considered
Speaker 1: one of the fastest parts of the body to dry
Speaker 1: out and mummify that it usually takes only a few
Speaker 1: days due to their relatively small size and exposure to air.
Speaker 1: So they say the process could be complete within a week,
Speaker 1: depending upon conditions, but that it could start just in
Speaker 1: a few days, which I found to be fascinating.
Speaker 3: You know what.
Speaker 1: The next part of the body to become mummified is
Speaker 1: the hands, the feet, and then guess what.
Speaker 3: You would guess? Nope, uh is it bottom? The bottom?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: The scrotum, Gary, Oh, well, not everybody has the hands
Speaker 1: and the feet and then the scrotum first parts of
Speaker 1: the body to show significant desiccation due to their high
Speaker 1: surface area to volume ratio.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm Garyespol. You speak Spanish quite well, I do. Era.
Speaker 3: You don't get You're not free from this dera. I'm
Speaker 3: a vegetarian and an animal lover, but all my vegans
Speaker 3: are leopard skin for some reason.
Speaker 5: Eh, I'm a vegan, I'm not a vegetarian.
Speaker 3: Well, they can't get everything right.
Speaker 1: I do love that you wear animal stuff. I didn't
Speaker 1: think about that. It's funny.
Speaker 3: Just leopards. It's really good stuff.
Speaker 1: Would you have like a stuffed snow leopard in your home?
Speaker 1: Oh God, No, I mean like a fake one, not
Speaker 1: like a real stuffed snow.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I have a little stuffed little leopard kind of a thingy,
Speaker 5: a little like a bear that's dressed in leopard.
Speaker 3: I should say, does he have a name?
Speaker 5: No, but I can bring it in and you can
Speaker 5: name it. It's like it has a little it's a
Speaker 5: beanie baby. It's a beanie baby. It has a little
Speaker 5: leopard hat.
Speaker 3: And a little leopard coat. I love that.
Speaker 5: I don't even remember how when I got it.
Speaker 3: But I've got it, or Ken probably gave it to you.
Speaker 3: Sounds about right.
Speaker 2: A woman in North Carolina has been charged with attempted
Speaker 2: murder after allegedly locking her boyfriend in a storage unit.
Speaker 2: He was stuck there for several days with no food
Speaker 2: or water. This fifty two year old woman has been
Speaker 2: arrested on attempted murder and kidnapping charges. Her fifty one
Speaker 2: year old boyfriend had been locked in the unit Thursday.
Speaker 2: She allegedly convinced him to crawl to the back of
Speaker 2: the unit to get her something, and then slammed it
Speaker 2: shut and yelled out, this is what you get.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what a horrible monster. He had no food, water,
Speaker 1: or power source. There were two locks on the storage unit.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: He called nine one one Monday and told the dispatcher, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the girlfriend locked me up. I've been locked in a
Speaker 1: storage unit for about a week now, and I've just
Speaker 1: now found my phone.
Speaker 2: I didn't quit. I don't know that part. I don't understand.
Speaker 2: Did he drop it on the way in or I guess.
Speaker 3: It's Pitts black. We all learned it in silence of
Speaker 3: the lambs.
Speaker 2: Well sure, everybody, He said, Sai, I just need to
Speaker 2: get out of here.
Speaker 3: I can't breathe. I haven't had nothing to drink or anything.
Speaker 3: They have a.
Speaker 1: Girlfriend that would totally do this' she looks about my age,
Speaker 1: about late forties fifty. I have a girlfriend that would
Speaker 1: totally do this. Like if she called me and she
Speaker 1: said I locked you know whoever her boyfriend is into
Speaker 1: the storage you know, I'd be like, yeah, of course
Speaker 1: you did.
Speaker 3: We probably gonna have to get him out of there.
Speaker 3: What did he do? That's the question on the table.
Speaker 3: What did he do to get locked in to deserve
Speaker 3: that this is what you get. In Wyoming.
Speaker 2: Back in nineteen eighty two, a guy planted a bomb
Speaker 2: and injured his estranged wife. And now the guy, living
Speaker 2: in New Mexico under the assumed name of Walter Lee Kaufman,
Speaker 2: has been found by the FBI. His double life began unraveling.
Speaker 2: Remember he was on the run since nineteen eighty two
Speaker 2: when he tried to murder his estranged wife. In twenty nineteen,
Speaker 2: he tried to renew his driver's license and it was
Speaker 2: tipped off. Investigators were tipped off that something wasn't right.
Speaker 2: They were both engineered. He and his wife both engineering
Speaker 2: students at the University of Arkansas in the mid seventies,
Speaker 2: and then he was able to obtain a driver's license,
Speaker 2: a passport, and even a Social Security guard a card
Speaker 2: in the name of Walter Lee Kaufman somehow using Kaufman's
Speaker 2: name in Muskogee, Oklahoma address. He was living like that
Speaker 2: for decades, even taking out Social Security benefits to the
Speaker 2: tune of one hundred and forty thousand dollars. But when
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen he tried to renew his driver's license,
Speaker 2: it triggered a check by agents from the National Passport
Speaker 2: Center's fraud Detection Unit, and a few years later they
Speaker 2: discovered that he'd built the original Walter Kaufman had been
Speaker 2: long dead, and that his identity had been used fraudulently
Speaker 2: for decades. So the FBI SWAT team went in and
Speaker 2: executed a search warrant in New Mexico to find the
Speaker 2: Walter Kaufman, but also Stephen Campbell whichever name he was
Speaker 2: going by at the time.
Speaker 1: Muscogee, Yeah, yes, trying to figure out what Muscogee is
Speaker 1: known for.
Speaker 2: That's the town of Muscogee. Yeah, Oklahoma.
Speaker 3: I'm Gary. My stumpy dog is better than yours. That's
Speaker 3: not we can't go after the dog or the children. Guys,
Speaker 3: there are rules when we are roasting. He's just mid level.
Speaker 3: Your tongue is so cute. I'm Gary, and my wife
Speaker 3: won't let me show my sexy picture of my nipples
Speaker 3: hanging out of my knit shirt.
Speaker 1: It's not because she's keeping them nipples for herself. It's
Speaker 1: because she's protecting him from embarrassment.
Speaker 3: Let's be clear.
Speaker 1: She's happy to share his nipples with you. It's just
Speaker 1: for his own saving face. And it's not about your
Speaker 1: nipples that are the problem. It's the top, like, to
Speaker 1: be honest, the whole mesh. It's the mesh top that's
Speaker 1: the problem.
Speaker 2: Those shorts were not a thing either.
Speaker 3: I don't remember the shorts.
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to pay attention to the shorts
Speaker 1: with that top and the nipples and the whole. My
Speaker 1: eyes are up here by the way with the Okie
Speaker 1: from Muskogee song.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm thinking of.
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of stumpy dogs, there is a new pill
Speaker 2: that the FDA has approved that could keep your older
Speaker 2: dogs living.
Speaker 3: For a little bit longer. We'll talk about that when
Speaker 3: we come back. And we've got hot bird news coming
Speaker 3: up in Strange Science.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of bird stories in that Strange So
Speaker 2: damn right there are bless me.
Speaker 3: And they were going to talk about you just sneeze,
Speaker 3: but turn off your mic.
Speaker 2: Yes, I learned that when I was a freshman in college,
Speaker 2: that you're supposed to do that.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm Gary.
Speaker 1: I learned when I was a freshman to turn off
Speaker 1: my mic before I sneak. U.
Speaker 3: Gary and I won't fight in the car, even though
Speaker 3: it's one of the funniest things a man can do. Oh,
Speaker 3: my wife doesn't want it in her hair.
Speaker 4: In her hair either i' Gary and I have a
Speaker 4: boomshuk and lama ew I'm Gary.
Speaker 3: Don't let me near your spice cabinet or I might
Speaker 3: get a little spicy. It's a good pull.
Speaker 2: That's like all those Yes, some of those are pretty
Speaker 2: uh pretty, they got hair on them now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they do chest hair and face hair. Dog owners
Speaker 3: we do.
Speaker 2: We do everything to keep our companions happy and healthy.
Speaker 2: And there is a new anti aging pill that might
Speaker 2: be coming your way for canine owners.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is fascinating because I think everybody has had
Speaker 1: that point when you have a pet and the pet
Speaker 1: is getting older and you know what direction this is headed,
Speaker 1: and you just hope that the pet will not suffer,
Speaker 1: and it's just it's awful. So this is called Loyal,
Speaker 1: the biotech startup that's come up with this. They're based
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, and they say that their drug that
Speaker 1: they've developed to increase canine live span has passed a
Speaker 1: significant milestone on the way to regulatory approval. They may
Speaker 1: start circulating this thing before they get the full approval though,
Speaker 1: so they can record data on it it's safe. If
Speaker 1: they just don't know if it's as effective as they're hoping.
Speaker 2: This brings up some interesting issues because there are things,
Speaker 2: and it's not just with dogs. I mean, we, I think,
Speaker 2: don't do death great. We humans. Obviously, it generates ridiculous
Speaker 2: amount of fear in some people. It's sometimes not pretty.
Speaker 2: It can be very painful, even not the person dying,
Speaker 2: but I mean painful to watch somebody die. And there's
Speaker 2: this weird thing that we do with our pets where
Speaker 2: we anthropomorphize them. We make them into humans a lot
Speaker 2: of times. I mean, we give them, we give them
Speaker 2: human names many times like oh.
Speaker 3: Peter, some of us do.
Speaker 2: But but so we play out this thing, you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, many of us are going to have multiple
Speaker 2: pets die throughout the course of our lifetime. But we're
Speaker 2: only going to have, you know, so many of our
Speaker 2: loved ones pass away because we only have so many
Speaker 2: loved ones. But you're gonna have five or six or
Speaker 2: eight or ten of your pets die throughout the course
Speaker 2: of your life. And I just I'm not sure that
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that this is the right way to
Speaker 2: do this.
Speaker 1: It's one thing if the dog is in good health,
Speaker 1: I mean, but how do you know what's going to happen, right,
Speaker 1: you don't want to extend the suffering if your dog's
Speaker 1: good And who the hell am I to say? I
Speaker 1: mean everyone is going to Dogs are like children. You're
Speaker 1: going to make your own rules for your own house,
Speaker 1: the whole bit. But you know, say your dog is
Speaker 1: in good health at ten years and then you give
Speaker 1: the dog the drug, and then it prolongs at another
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen years or what have you.
Speaker 3: I don't know how it works. This is just hypothetical.
Speaker 1: But the dog gets sick, you know, two years into this,
Speaker 1: do you just I guess at that point you stop
Speaker 1: giving the drug because you don't want your dog to
Speaker 1: live longer being sick. But if the dog's in good health,
Speaker 1: you can keep the dog alive.
Speaker 3: Is that how it works?
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I don't know if they know that
Speaker 1: yet until they start trying it out. Yeah, because that's
Speaker 1: one thing. If your dog's ten or twelve years old
Speaker 1: and you want to extend this dog's life, it's the
Speaker 1: dog is fu I can understand, you know, wanting to
Speaker 1: go another six eight years if you could.
Speaker 2: I uh, yeah. And there's a point where we've talked
Speaker 2: about humans living past a certain time. You don't want
Speaker 2: to live past the age of about fifty eight, I
Speaker 2: think is what you capped it out at, is that
Speaker 2: forty six, So forty left. Forty six is going to
Speaker 2: be where you top out and at that point where
Speaker 2: you're just going to venture off into the sunset somewhere. No,
Speaker 2: but there's a there's a thing where our bodies we
Speaker 2: can keep alive. Bodies we can. There's a lot of
Speaker 2: scientific advancements that allow us to keep the human body
Speaker 2: ticking for a very long time. But it brings with
Speaker 2: it the questions of should we you know, what what
Speaker 2: quality of life was?
Speaker 3: Because we can doesn't mean we should.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I mean then this this kind of for me,
Speaker 2: this falls into that the cost consumers is yet to
Speaker 2: be determined, but they said that they want to make
Speaker 2: it accessible to as many doctors as possible, ideally for
Speaker 2: less than one hundred dollars a month, which is still
Speaker 2: that's still a lot for you know, for people on
Speaker 2: top of the normal care of keeping in care of
Speaker 2: a pet one hundred bucks a week to people.
Speaker 1: Pay thousands of dollars, Oh sure, or just a chance,
Speaker 1: just a chance that their pet will be saved.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we ran through that. We did that.
Speaker 2: Our previous dog had a pretty sizable tumor and the doctor,
Speaker 2: when my wife took him to a specialist, the doctor
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, we could, we could try to do surgery,
Speaker 2: but you're leaving him with a partial jaw, and dogs
Speaker 2: don't do well with partial jaws.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, he turns out. They liked the whole thing.
Speaker 2: It's amazing how they do that. I mean, you could
Speaker 2: sit there and nurse the dog and you know, intravenously
Speaker 2: feed the dog and keep them alive for whatever amount
Speaker 2: of time. But then that, I mean, that is such
Speaker 2: a drain on that dog's quality of life or whatever.
Speaker 3: Pet. Anyway, that's all sad. Stop talking about sad stuff.
Speaker 1: The good thing is is that you know, maybe if
Speaker 1: your dog's in good health, you'll be able to hang
Speaker 1: on to that dog a little bit longer.
Speaker 3: So there's there's a silver lining. That's good. It's time
Speaker 3: for strange science, and we'll go with that. Strange. It's
Speaker 3: like weird science, but strange. Well.
Speaker 2: I hate to steal the Puffin story, but I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: I'm back, yes, right, I don't know what happened, but
Speaker 1: it got rid of me. And I thought my way
Speaker 1: back to give the puffin news.
Speaker 3: M good.
Speaker 2: I see, I see that it was the puffins that
Speaker 2: drew you out of your slumber.
Speaker 1: I love puffins, right, I just I love the idea
Speaker 1: of puffins. And I was very old when I first
Speaker 1: saw a puffin up in Alaska, and I was startled
Speaker 1: because I thought puffins, when you'd see a picture of
Speaker 1: a puffin, were these big, massive birds. And when I
Speaker 1: saw them, they were these little baby birds. I had
Speaker 1: no idea they were so small.
Speaker 3: Did you make that same mistake or no.
Speaker 2: I have never seen a puffin in real life that
Speaker 2: I can recall. Actually I probably haven't a zoo somewhere,
Speaker 2: but I don't think i've I've definitely not seen them
Speaker 2: in the wild.
Speaker 1: There's a small rocky island off Iceland that's home to
Speaker 1: the world's largest breeding colony of Atlantic puffins. When breeding
Speaker 1: season is in full go, there are about one point
Speaker 1: five million adults that pair up and nestle into burrows
Speaker 1: on the grassy seaside slopes. Once the chicks hatch, puffin
Speaker 1: moms and dads to vote about six weeks to caring
Speaker 1: for their babies. They bring them meals of small fish,
Speaker 1: they fend off predators like seagulls, and then by August
Speaker 1: or early September, the little pufflings are mature enough to
Speaker 1: live on their own. Their instinct is to head for
Speaker 1: the open ocean, where they will spend most of their lives.
Speaker 1: But sometimes they lose their way. Really, I mean, this
Speaker 1: town near Iceland or in Iceland, only got electricity about
Speaker 1: a century ago. So sometimes the puffins take a wrong
Speaker 1: turn because they're dazzled by the night lights.
Speaker 2: Well they talk about this. It's not puffing or puffin patrol.
Speaker 2: It's the puffling patrol searches for and rescues these birds
Speaker 2: that have gone astray.
Speaker 3: The baby puffing puffins.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's funny. They call it puffling puffling. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to get a little shirt, says I.
Speaker 2: Puffle for food?
Speaker 1: Or will puffling puffling? Not puffling puffling?
Speaker 3: Luffling?
Speaker 2: Oh, I get it, like baby puffin got it? Never mind,
Speaker 2: got it, got it?
Speaker 3: I get it. Look at you. You made an error.
Speaker 1: I asked for an air four hours ago and I
Speaker 1: finally got one.
Speaker 3: Okay, it wasn't a heroin needle in your arm. No,
Speaker 3: But the day is young.
Speaker 2: A boy sciences have developed a new artificially intelligence powered
Speaker 2: modeling method that mimics how birds produce songs, similar to
Speaker 2: how large language models like chat GPT would generate human sentences.
Speaker 2: They said they train these AI models on birds song
Speaker 2: recordings and the model can successfully recreate sequences of Bengalese
Speaker 2: finch songs, revealing important insights into how birds structure their vocalizations.
Speaker 3: That we Bengalese finch, that.
Speaker 2: We birds and humans can arrange our vocal expressions in
Speaker 2: very structured ways. When it comes to human speech, the
Speaker 2: words follow specific grammatical rules of birds sing in organized
Speaker 2: syllabic patterns.
Speaker 3: This is strange way to put it. So look up
Speaker 3: what the bengales finch sounds like. It sounds a little
Speaker 3: bit like this. I'm gary, I'm a carbon based life.
Speaker 1: For get it, strange science, I get it. That's very funny,
Speaker 1: and listen.
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly where it started, but this was
Speaker 2: the first one of the day because.
Speaker 3: I don't remember.
