Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Friends, the biggest stories of the day. Is it because
it's like still hot? The transmitter is like it's hot.
Why is the transmitter just like the rest of us
saying it's October wire? Is it still hot? Or is
it humid or something? Because I don't know. People that
sit there having a hard time hearing us in certain
places this morning, then get on the iHeart app that
that's the case. We think that works that I don't know.

(00:20):
We checked it does, Oh it doesn't. Yeah, okay, it's good. Yeah,
I'm it on it. Yeah, I'm behind the scenes over here,
behind the scenes time up on a tower. I did,
and you blew the cartridge. I blew the cartridge you did. Yep,
we should be good now crossed. Okay, you know did
what I could just like Nintendo sixty four. You know,
you know I do. Yeah. Jane Goodall, the famous scientists

(00:42):
who study chimpanzees, had died at the age of ninety one.
She passed Wayne California. During a speaking to her, she
was still at it, I guess very much still at it.
A good Old changed science by studying wild chimpanzees instead
of ones in captivity, and she showed that chimps used tools,
have personalities and acted ways similar to you, and sometimes
kind of loving, sometimes aggressive. Her work started in nineteen

(01:03):
sixty in Tanzania and continues to influence primatology today. She
also spent her life protecting nature, speaking around the world
about wildlife and environmental issues, even traveling to nearly or
nearly three hundred days a year into her eighties. In
twenty twenty five, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of
Freedom for her lifelong work. In short, Jane Goodall was

(01:23):
a groundbreaking scientist and passionate conservationalist who inspired generations. I
always thought it was cool growing up watching her, and
she was like, she was one with the wild animals. Man, yeah,
and you know that I believe I can reason with
the wild animal and this woman could.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
She was so selfless and that took me out yesterday.
Also remember most recently she was on Call her Daddy
and everybody was like, what yeah, but if you can
go back and listen to that she was kind of
recently on that podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
I know that accidents haven't but I would feel kind
of silly if I were part of this one. I
hate to say. Two Delta Regional jets collided while taxiing
on the ground at LaGuardia. The wing of the departing
plane the body of the one arriving. Now, these, I mean,
these are big airplanes and the wings are way back
there and you can't really see them. But man, if
I'm gonna if I'm gonna have to go to the
pilot chief pilot's office to talk about something, it's could

(02:10):
be that I hit a plane on the ground. I
need more than that. I need something more sensational, you know,
I need a top gun moment where it's like, hey,
pilot Fred, you were going so fast, you know what
I mean, Like he s the speed it sound? Or
were you doing in that thing? You both planes. Passengers
were taken back to the terminal, given food and lodging
and rebooked. The airlines to the operations at the airport

(02:32):
weren't disrupted. No passengers were hurt. It's just kind of
a kind of a bummer way to get investigated by
the FAA. You know, you hit something on the ground,
like they when they suck in a cart or something,
which isn't their fault either because you know, they don't
know what's behind them or I don't know when they
back into another plane. It'd be like, dude, you got
one job is to hold that stick up and make
sure I don't hit another plane. Shuck the mirror, bro Yes, exactly.

(02:54):
Cameras the review cameras. Some of them do, actually, but
I don't think it's you know, completely helpful. So why
you see those guys that stand there like with the
stick at the end of the thing, the little wand
or whatever it is. I thought they were cheerleaders. Yeah,
well they are. They're cheering on the file. It's like,
you too, good job. This is craziest skydiver and his
instructor survived after both of their parachutes failed to open

(03:16):
during a tandem jump in the Nevada Desert. So neither
parachute open and they're alive. They plummeted from eleven thousand
feet to the ground at thirty five to forty five
miles an hour after neither parachute worked as well as
they were supposed to, according to one of the other instructors,
the skydiver, one of them, came from the UK to
celebrate his twenty fifth birthday last month. He fractured his pelvis,
broke several ribs, had several fractures in his back and

(03:38):
suffered a perforated lung and lacerated kidney. That all sounds
really bad, his mother said. As of a week ago,
he was walking with the help of a walker. The
instructor remains in critical condition, but his injuries are not known.
The Las Vegas Police and the United States Parachute Association
are looking into the incident. Yeah, I should say, so

(03:59):
that is wild. That is crazy. You found them eleven
thousand feet and you're alive to talk about it a miracle.
Meta plans to use data from users chats with its
AI products like Meta AI This is for You, ray
Ban smart glasses and image video tools to show more
targeted ads on Facebook and Instagram. Sensitive topics health, religion,

(04:22):
politics won't be used, so they say, but there's no
opt out option. The change take takes effect on December sixteenth.
So everything you're typing in that the phone's listening to you,
we all know that. So you're not really saved. You
never really have been saved from any of this. But
you know, be careful what you tell an old chat
GPT over there, because now it's going to start selling you,
like you know, anti depressants or you know, handcuffs or something.

(04:43):
I don't know. For all the fights that you get
in with Hobby that you type in there, Yeah, that's
that's true. I don't know, you guys.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
I feel like I'm kind of going to have to
back off from much.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Like anger management books and stuff. That's the one like.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
I feel like I need to back off because I
feel like Chetchi, which isn't as trained that like her
to be when it comes to just like personal issues.
You're arguing with Chad, not arguing, but I'm not really
feeling what she's putting down, which.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Is crazy because it's not a person, so it's wild.
It's not a human being and it's it's a computer.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
It.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Sorry about the breakup, Yeah, I'm terrible. Still use our
brother stuff.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
We'll make some money together, but we're not We're definitely
not this partners only as far as the free therapy
is concerned, we're moving on from that.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
I tried it and you learned. Yeah, I experienced it. Yeah,
if only somebody had told you that wasn't going to work.
Connecticut Woman made game show history on Tuesday Night, becoming
the biggest winner in Wheel of Fortune's forty nine year history.
This woman named Christina. She took home a record one million,
thirty five thousane hundred and fifteen dollars after strong performances

(05:47):
that included thirty five grand in the standard round. She
advanced a bonus round, chose a living things category, and
accurately solved the puzzle pack of coyotes in like a second.
She knew it like immediately to claim what not to
be the million dollar grand prize. She's only the fourth
contestant to secure Wheel of Fortunes million dollar grand prize
and the first in over a decade and the winningest

(06:08):
ever one thousand and thirty five dollars of one hundred
and fifteen dollars. I guess her boss maybe was in
the audience. I saw part of the clip and it
was like, what do you say to your boss? It's like, ah,
that I don't have it if I win a million dollars,
that I don't want to work there anymore. Tind to think.
It's like, you know, it's a lot of money. And
a Florida woman won a video game tournament and went

(06:30):
viral while holding her daughter just five days after giving birth.
The woman answered the mortal Kombat Excel tournament this past
weekend and defeated three other players, including her own husband,
all while holding the five day old baby. She won
the grand prize of twenty eight dollars and won a
trip to a gaming festival in Atlanta at the end
of the month. I love a woman, but all, yeah,

(06:51):
I want to talk about that prize. Oh yeah, I
want to talk about that. That's all. That's all you
could come up with twenty eight dollars she deserved like
a medal of freedom. I don't know, that's crazy. It's
like influencer deals now or whatever. But there she was
playing the video game, holding the baby, combat probably breastfeeding
or pumping, doing everything right. Good for her. It's National
