Speaker 1 (01:11):
You know I do.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Jane Goodall, the famous scientists who studied chimpanzees, has died
at the age of ninety one. She passed Wayne, California.
During a speaking to ry she was still at it.
I guess very much still at it. A Goodall 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 humans, sometimes kind and loving, sometimes aggressive.

(01:35):
Her work started in nineteen 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,

(01:56):
Jane Goodall was a groundbreaking scientist and passionate conservationalist inspired generations.
I always thought it was cool growing up watching her,
and she was like she was one with the wild animals.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Man, Yeah, and you know that I believe I can
reason with the wild animal, and this woman could. She
was so selfless and that took me out yesterday.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
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 2 (02:22):
I know that accidents haven't but I would feel kind
of silly if I were part of this one.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
I hate to say.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Two Delta Regional jets collided while taxiing on the ground
at LaGuardia. The wing of the departing plane hit the
body of the one arriving. Now, these, I mean, these
are big airplanes and 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 coulna be that
I hit a plane on the ground. I need more
than that. I need something more cessational, you know, I

(02:48):
need a top gun moment where it's like, hey, pilot Fred,
you were going so fast, you know what I mean,
Like he suspeeded sound or were you doing in that thing.
Both planes passed were taken back to the terminal, given
food and lodging, and rebooked. The airlines at the operations
at the airport weren't disrupted, No passengers were hurt. It's
just kind of a kind of a bummer way to

(03:10):
get investigated by the FAA, right, 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, and I'd
be like, dude, you got one job is to hold
that stick up and make sure I don't hit another plane.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Shut the review mirror, bro Yes, exactly. Cameras the review cameras.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
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.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
I thought they were cheerleaders. Yeah, well they are. They're
cheering on the fireways like you too, good job.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
This is craziest gutt ever and his instructor survived after
both of their parachutes failed. To open 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 parishute worked as well as they were supposed to,
according to one of the other instructors, the skydiverm, one

(04:04):
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 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

(04:26):
Vegas Police and the United States Parachute Association are looking
into the incident.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah, I should say, so, that is wild. That is crazy.
You found him eleven thousand feet and you're alive to
talk about it.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Miracles 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,
politics won't be used, so they say, but there's no
opt out option. The change take it takes effect on
December sixteenth. So everything you're typing in that the phone's

(05:03):
listening to you, we all know that. So you're not
really safe. You never really have been saved from any
of this. But you know, be careful what you tell
an old chaed GPT over there, because now it's going
to start selling you like you know, antidic presence or
you know, handcuffs or something. I don't know, for all
the fights that you get in with Hobby that you
type in there.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, that's that's true.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
I don't know you guys. I feel like I'm kinda
going to have to back off from auch.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Anger management books and stuff like.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
That's the one like I feel like I need to
back off because I feel like uh Che, which isn't
as trained I 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 is.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Crazy because it's not a person. So it's well it's
not a human being and it's it's a computer. It
Sorry about the breakup. Yeah, I'm still user of brother stuff.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
We'll make some money together, but we're not We're definitely

the free therapy is concerned, we're.

Speaker 1 (05:56):

wasn't going to work.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
A 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 thousand, one hundred and fifteen
dollars after strong performances that included thirty five grand in
the standard round. She advanced a bonus round, chose the

(06:25):
living Things category, and accurately solved the puzzle packup coyotes
in like a second she knew it like immediately to
claim what turned out 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 ever one thousand and thirty five dollars
of one hundred and fifteen dollars. I guess her boss

(06:47):
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, then I don't want
to work there anymore.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Tried to think. It's like, you know, it's a lot
of money.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
And A Florida woman won a video game tournament and
went 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

(07:21):
the end of the month.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
I love a woman, but all, yeah, I want to
talk about that prize. Yeah, I want to talk about that.
That's all. That's all you could come up with. Twenty
eight dollars she deserves like a metal of freedom. I
don't know, that's crazy. It's like influencer deals now or whatever.
