Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's daily highlight from Elvis Duran in The Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Oh my gosh, look at this.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
We have all collected in this one little room to
celebrate the fact it's Friday.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
What day does this feel like to you?

Speaker 1 (00:22):
It feels like a Friday, Elvis dan in the Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
My God, this place, I swear to God.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Are we on?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (00:41):
So you know, let's look at it this way. You know,
in the world of science, give me my science music scary.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
In the world of.

Speaker 5 (00:46):
Science, you know, women have two X chromosomes, right, correct, Yes,
men have one typically one y one X right.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Well, this is how it works. Xy okay, x y.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Z.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
So go ahead and Nate, go ahead, tell everyone what
I'm talking about. Turn off the music, scary, and turn
off Nate's microphone while you're at it. Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
The point is this the why chromosome has been rapidly disappearing.
And I say rapidly, I mean in the world. I
mean you give him the scope of what rapid means, Gandhi.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Millions of years, but or the time that we have
been here on Earth, it's been pretty rapid.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yes, pretty rapid. So what does this mean? Well, I
think if you think it through.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
Unless something severely wacky happens without having that hy chromosome,
that means there's no more people.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
I mean, we will be extinct.

Speaker 5 (01:47):
Correct, Yes, but they're saying there's a there's a wild,
weird thing that could happen. We're not quite sure what
it is, right, They're to say, we're assuming maybe something
could happen.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
We don't.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Let's not panic, right.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
So, I mean, I learned a lot about chromosomes in
this Apparently the X chromosome has about nine hundred genes
with multiple functions, whereas the Y has about fifty five genes,
with only twenty seven of them being male specific. And
I mean, this is the article, and it's not insulting.
This is just hell science is presented. It says that
the Y is made of repetitive junk DNA, so it's

(02:18):
not very stable and because of that, it's starting to
get weeded out.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
They only care, but they only care about their junk.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
So there is that.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
And I mean we have example right in this room
about how the white chromosome.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Is kind of junking among us exactly.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
So there's that anyway, So look, I know, I know,
maybe it's not our responsibilities today to try to figure
out how to fix this. But it's interesting just to
kind of keep an eye on how this is evolving, right,
and so this is what got you interested in this
this story, right.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yes, I'm fascinated by what it's going to look like.
You know. The first thing is okay, well, we don't
want men to disappear. That would be terrible. So how
is it that we can fix it? Well, you can't
because evolution is doing its thing and it's going to
weed out the stuff that it doesn't want. However, what
they're saying is that a million years from now, let's say,
if people from another planet or something from another planet
were to come to Earth, humans may not exist at all,

(03:18):
or they would be completely different because they think that
that could just evolve into a completely different chromosome to
keep things going. So it might not look like the
men that you see today, but there will be something
because you need to keep reproduction going. So if nature
does her thing, it'll just evolve into something else, which
I am fascinated by.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Well, could they look could you imagine they'll look like
they look like.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
What'd you say?

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Maybe they look like Shrek coming in the future.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
Oh, God, you know what, Shrek would probably be a
lot better better than what they're saying. Yeah, I mean
so there's a chance that one day if women are
still a part of the you know, breeding process, and
they may be breeding with like plants. You know, we
don't know, I mean no, no, I'm being serious. It

(04:05):
could it could evolve into you know, shrimp. You know
you're you're having sex with shrimp. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
So this is what happens if the Y disappears. When
humans run out of Y chromosome, they might become extinct
if we haven't already extincted ourselves, or they might evolve
a new sex gene that defines new sex chromosomes. We
will have to wait and see. If somebody visits Earth
in about eleven million years, they might find no humans
or several different human species kept apart by different sex
determination systems.

Speaker 5 (04:32):
Wow, so what we can do now is we can
start developing these new chromosomes.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, this is up to us.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
How are you gonna do that?

Speaker 2 (04:40):
How we got work to do?

Speaker 5 (04:41):
Really, we wasted four hours a day here when we
could be in the in the laboratory coming up with
Sometimes I'm sorry, I said, I have a question, Okay,
go right ahead.

Speaker 6 (04:53):
So I know that the male produces the X or
the y X becomes female, it becomes male. So is
there something we can eat or to be to produce
more y? So the Y can because the Y is
also the weaker of the two sperm. The Y sperm
like chromosome chromosome, right, the chromosome in the sperm, right,

(05:15):
but it's given carries the X of the Y. So
my question is, is there a way we have to
change our diet? Can we we have to go to
the root cause to produce more y? So more why
fertilizes the egg?

Speaker 5 (05:27):
Interesting you asked that because you know in this article
they really they talk about how the chromosomes are all
chromosomes are junkie, by the way, but for some reason,
the why is junking up faster than the X.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
So why is that?

Speaker 3 (05:40):
You know?

Speaker 5 (05:41):
Do they get into why our y chromosome is is evaporating?

Speaker 1 (05:48):
No, I mean I didn't see that in the stuff
that I read. Isn't something that's new. It didn't just
start happening. They're saying since humans began that the Y
chromosome has been weaker and since it's weaker. It's just
been getting don't.

Speaker 6 (05:59):
Finished the race the way the X does. That's why
that the x X becomes the female.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Doesn't the why.

Speaker 7 (06:06):
They'll decide on a couple of things, like I thought
that the male chromosome decides uncertainly.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
The why decide where we're going for dinner? Usually I
don't know.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
So I mean, if I if I can, if I
can cram a semi glue tide into my body once
a week and it makes me full faster, how come
how come I can't put a little injection in there
and make my white chromosome a little stronger, and and
then if I breed and create life, it goes down

(06:39):
the line. But you know, we've got a million years
of work to do.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
I guess we'll have to ask a scientist. Can a
scientist call us right now.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Exactly what?

Speaker 5 (06:49):
They're out there? They're out there listening, they're sitting there
going these people are stupid.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, yep.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
Anyway, I find it fascinating love that Gandhi is so
so so attracted to any and all stories like this.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
It's cool. I just think it's fascinating to think, Okay,
where did we come from? Where are we going. Do
you change it? Do you even want to change it?
If this is how evolution's going, maybe you just leave
it alone and let it do its thing. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
Well we left it alone and we got scary. Can
we talk about what happened yesterday in the studio was scary?
This could be a great example.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
No scary. Scary by the way, has a million things
going on at all times.

Speaker 5 (07:31):
I mean, he he's running the computers, he's making sure
we're on time, he's doing this and that, and then
he tries to speak sometimes, and it's a lot of
it's a lot of stuff going on. So yesterday he
was here in the studio recording commercial right, yes, yes,
And it was.

Speaker 6 (07:50):
After the show and all was quiet, and in the
middle of my read I start hearing like snap, krackle, pops,
And I thought people were grewing with me. I'm like,
we are they trying to interrupt me? What's going on?
And then I found out that there was a faulty
circuit breaker that was about to set the studio on fire.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
This thing was on its own.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Right, Well, you you thought it was a joke in
the beginning.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
People were trying to like play things through your speaker
to throw you off during your read correct. And then
you you know, smelled smoke, which is an elaborate hoax.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
And the USB started flashing.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Fire.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
Fire was coming out of the flame came out of
the USB socket that.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
I'm staring at right now.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Which one? Where is it?

Speaker 6 (08:31):
The one next to Gandhi?

Speaker 5 (08:32):
Huh, Well, let's investigate that in a moment. All right,
so we actually have the sound. Gandhi has the sound
from yesterday when when the inferno began here in the tower.
All right here here it is. And I called Scotty
and Jeff, okay, let's play there and skilled trades training
design to.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
The food?

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Is that.

Speaker 6 (08:57):
The food?

Speaker 4 (09:00):
What the food is going on? Dude? What I heard
like twelve popping noises like something a cold Jeff could Jeff,
I'll plug Jack, Jeff, Oh my god, Okay, is it

(09:21):
the candle?

Speaker 8 (09:22):
No, it's it's Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, help come down here.
The USB port is exploding in front of Gandhi's thing.
I heard that sixteen pocks you smell it.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
Oh my god, the fire alarm is gonna go on.
Come down here, please. If I'm recording, I'm rolling on
a commercial video recorded again, and it's smoked because when
you know, all won't have when he comes here. Of
course that was it because something was plugged in. No,
it's proofed out of there.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
That's ow it.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Oh my god, I'm still recalling.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Training design to accelerate entry into the workforce. You got
back to this because well he gets paid to do that.

Speaker 7 (10:03):
Now takeaway is what Scary is losing it and Scotty
is the most calm. You better record that because it
probably won't happen once he shows up. Scotty was so calm,
and Scary was just like in a dizzy.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
Scary Scary freaks out. We've seen him throw people against
the wall. He threw Daniel against the wall and the
transmitter went out. So anyway, so this is coming out
of a socket over by Gandhi's Gandhi's uh place or
her microphone.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
That's weird.

Speaker 5 (10:35):
So did you tell jeff the engineer why you believe
that thing was exploding?

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Gandhi?

Speaker 1 (10:40):
I did, and then I was told to be quiet
tell anyone.

Speaker 6 (10:43):
Else, Jefferson, this thing is kind of came off. It's
like a Tamu extender that we probably should have paid
more money.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
See what what happened was.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yesterday.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
I was going to set my laptop down and a
drink spilled and I yell, oh, no, my drink spilled,
and I think it went in the socket, but I'm
not sure that. I looked and it didn't look like
there was any liquid in the socket. Nate saw. We
cleaned it up, wiped it up with a wet wipe.
Everything was good. Hours later, something starts sparking and popping
and there's fire, and I can only assume that it

(11:16):
was actually liquid that did get down there.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Well, you didn't see twenty four hours later, you.

Speaker 5 (11:22):
Didn't see the liquid in there because it dripped down
onto the transformer.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
It must have.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
It must have just immediately gotten sucked in there because
we looked around like, okay, this is cool, We're fine,
And then oops, if somebody wasn't in the studio, would
it have been bad.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Well, you guys didn't do anything to stop it, did you.

Speaker 6 (11:42):
Well, no, Jeff ripped out the circuit. He goes, no,
we got to change this out here and put a
bit of one in.

Speaker 5 (11:48):
Well, I do believe I need to believe that something,
some breaker would would hit somewhere and turn off all
the electricity to that. I don't know you were supposed to,
so that's how it's supposed to work. But anyway, but no,
my takeaway here is scary.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
One Jeff, Jeff Jeff.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
What do you do if Jeff? There is no Jeff.

Speaker 5 (12:10):
Jeff is the nine one one of iHeart, I don't know,
call him in all emergencies.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
We got to move on.

Speaker 5 (12:14):
But anyway, so there you go, scary in his habitat
the Y chromosome.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
There it goes
