Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the city that changes the world, peers Rose with
three things you need to.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Know are your Friday Rose, what you got for us?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
So, Maryland State Police are reminding people to drive responsibly
this weekend because it is technically Sinco Tomayo weekend, even
though Sinko Tomyo's on my dam. Yeah I've heard about that. Yeah,
San Toyo is on Monday. So people are going to
be celebrating for sure this weekend. But in an effort
to keep the road safe, there will be increased patrols
(00:28):
and all twenty three barracks in the state will ramp
up enforcement to combat impaired, distracted, and aggressive driving. State
police efforts will focus on designated hot spots, including nine
ninety five, the Baltimore Belwet and Route fifty corridor.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Say please say.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Anyone who plans to drink alcohol should designate sober driver
of course, or use ride share, taxi or public transportation.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
So this is kind of crazy news.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yesterday, six Flags of America and Hurricane Harbor in Prince
George's County, Maryland.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
They are after the season. Yeah, they made the announcement.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
So the six flags that six Flags set in a
statement announcing the decision to close the parks that the
amusement parks are not a strategic fit with.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
The company's long term growth plan.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Six Flags America opened for the season on April twenty first,
and it's going to have its last day of operation
on November second. It has some seventy full time employees
and severans and benefits will be provided to eligible workers,
which is very nice to hear. And since her birth
in March, the Maryland Zoo's newest baby giraffe has lived
(01:35):
without an official name, and the zoo did have a
contest where anyone who donated one hundred dollars or more
was entered to this contest where they could submit a
name to be chosen from. So they have officially revealed
the baby giraffe's name.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Okay, do you want to think again?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Long neck?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
No see, I was thinking along the same lines, but
they went with h to Tally, which.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Is blue for butterfly, which is.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Actually kind of sweet because to Tally's mom, Kipepo also
means butterfly in Swahili.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I was like, that's pretty cute.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I mean, name an animal after a different animal. This
is I mean, it's my hamster. I named him horse.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Stop it right now? Could you imagine my horse? His
name is Hamster.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Okay, why why do you think? I have no idea?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Just thinkings are really sweet that they share the same
name but like different languages.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Okay, anyways, I'm rous. Those are the three things you
need to know for the day.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Thank you, ros, You're welcome. Tickets are on sale right now.
There's we're getting close to the low ticul alerts, so
June twenty if June twenty first, I'm doing a weekend
a stand up shows intern John's Chewy Forever at the
Arlington Draft House. Tickets are fifteen bucks. This is special
on two fronts. A number one for me personally obviously
to keep the memory of my buddy Chewy alive, who
(02:52):
passed away on New Year's but also helping out the
Warrior Canine Connection.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
And it's been crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I mean, we've done a lot with Fisher House, raised
over one hundred thousand dollars. Everybody loves Fitscher House. I
didn't realize how many deep fans there are of Warrior
Canine Connection, and it makes sense. They raise puppies to
be service dogs for veterans. Very cool, it's a very
important organization, so the tickets benefit the Warrior Canine Connection.
Grab yours Internshioncomedy dot Com. I'm gonna be honest though,
(03:19):
like this is it's just one weekend. There's not gonna
be any other shows. There's not any other venues. It's
it's a one one shot Internshohncomedy dot Com.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Real quick too.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I am a dinosaur girly uh Dursted Park one of
my favorite films video games. I'm all for bringing back
the dinosaurs. Is it gonna be a horrible idea?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Terrible idea, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I'm here for it. The new trend in fashion is
purses made from a t rex, like an actual t
row Oh yeah. This company claims they're making leather from
sixty six million year old dinosaur DNA.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Now, uh, we'll see that. Yeah, DNA for like a dinosaur.
To question is that they're calling it getting it from
a mosquito. That's getting ember crew.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Dun't be a child now listen, they're calling it jirash chic.
So researchers and bioengineers are working to create the next
cruelty free, sustainable luxury handbag, grown leather from fossilized t
rex remains as the prehistoric creatures. So they say, we're
unlocking the potential to engineer a leather from the prehistoric
(04:27):
species starting with.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
A t rex. I don't love it. It is interesting.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So they're saying lab grown, fossilized t Rex collagen will
be used as a blueprint to manufaction material that's structurally
identical to traditional leather. It will also be biodegradable, which
is the innovative and ethically sound. I don't know if
it's ethically sound is a loose term for you know,
cloning and bringing back animals, and if we go with
(04:54):
that route, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I find it so fascinating that companies will make these
big announcements about something that they're going to do that
could potentially not even work.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Well, here's the thing, so they have said, his team
has spent fifteen years in university doing tissue engineering, then
three to four years at the company gets the point
of making the skin and the leathers. So it is
in the infancy. But like imagine, if you went to
school for fifteen years, you probably weren't going thinking you're
going to bring back dinosaur skin for purses. You probably
(05:25):
thought I'm doing Jurassic work.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
And also if this does happen where these purses come out,
you know that they are going to be so very expensive.
Guess they're saying, I'm assuming t rex DNA is not plentiful.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
No, so they're saying it it's like the collagen too.
So that's even like the more they say, we have
no preserved t rex DNA, so there's no t rex genes.
It's they're kind of taking like collagen and things from
bones and that kind of stuff. They say DNA starts
to decay as soon as animal dies, but some fragments
that remain in the environment for a few million years.
(05:59):
The oldest preserved DNA records about two million years old.
The t rex was extinct sixty six million years ago,
So there are some questions asked, how I don't know
what the saints through the collagen, So they say it
gives them something unique that can justify a much higher price.
The photos they have, what'sn't look like it looks like
alligators skin.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
So uh, I mean that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah, but that's also like if I saw somebody's bag
and I'm like, oh, what's that and they go t rex,
I'd be like Oh, this person's high.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yeah, they're on something. DOCI now intern John in your
