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 4 (00:22):
It feels like a Friday, Elis in the Morning Show.

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

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Are we on?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Okay, so you know, let's look at it this way.
You know, in the world of science, give me my
science music scary. In the world of science, you know,
women have two X chromosomes, right, correct, yes, men have
one typically one y one X.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Right.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Well, this is how it works, okay, x Y. So
go ahead and Nate, go ahead, tell everyone what I'm
talking about. Turn off the music, scary, and turn OFFFS
microphone while you're at it. Okay. The point is this

(01:18):
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 4 (01:28):
Over millions of years. But for 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, unless something severely wacky
happens without having that WHY chromosome. That means there's no
more people. I mean, we will be extinct. 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,

(01:54):
They're to say, we're assuming maybe something could happen.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
We don't.

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

Speaker 4 (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 WHY 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 a science is presented. It says
that the Y is made of repetitive junk DNA, so
it's not very stable and because of that, it's starting

(02:21):
to get weeded out. They only but they only care
about their junk.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
So there is that. And I mean we have example
right in this room about how the HYE chromosome is
kind of junking on us exactly. 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.

(02:47):
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 4 (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. Well, could they look could you
imagine I feel and look like they look like.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
It?

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

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

Speaker 2 (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 4 (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 2 (04:32):
Wow, So what we can do now is we can
start developing these new chromosomes. This is up to us.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
How are you gonna do that?

Speaker 2 (04:40):
How we got work to do? We've wasted four hours
a day here when we could be in the in
the laboratory coming up with something. I'm sorry, I said,
I have a question. Okay, go right ahead.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
So I know that the male produces the X or
the y X becomes female 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 LIKEE chromosome

(05:13):
chromosome right, the chromosome in the sperm right, but it's
given carries the X of the Y. So my question is,
is there way do 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 2 (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. So
why is that?

Speaker 3 (05:40):
You know?

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Do they get into why our Y chromosome is is
is evaporating?

Speaker 4 (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.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
The race the way the X does. That's why that
the XX becomes the female.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
Doesn't the why they decide on a couple of things,
like I thought that the male chromosome decides on certainly.

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

(06:33):
and and then if I breed and create life, it
goes down the line. But you know, we've got a
million years of work to do.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
I guess we'll have to ask a scientist. Can a
scientist call us right now?

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Please? Exactly what? They're out there? They're out there listening,
they're sitting there going These people are stupid. Yeah, ye, Anyway,
I find it fascinating love that Gandhi is so so
so attracted to any and all stories like this.

Speaker 4 (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 2 (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. No scary. Scary by
the way, has a million things going on at all times.
I mean, he he's running the computers, he's making sure
we're on time, he's doing this and that. It's and

(07:37):
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 a commercial, right, yes, yes, And.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
It was 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 screwing with me. I'm like,
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.

(08:10):
This thing was on its.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Own, right, Well, you thought it was a joke in
the beginning. 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, and the USB started flashing.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Fire. Fire was coming out of the flame came out
of the USB socket that I'm staring at right now.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Which one? Where is it the one next to Gandhi? 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.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
And I called Scotty and Jeff, okay, let's play there
and skilled trades training.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Design to the food that.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
The foo?

Speaker 1 (09:00):
What the food is going on?

Speaker 6 (09:03):
Dude?

Speaker 5 (09:04):
What I heard like twelve popping noises like something? Was
it a cold Jeff?

Speaker 7 (09:15):
Could Jeff? I'll plugging Jack, Jeff, Oh my god, Okay,
is it the candle? No, it's it's Jeff, Jeff, Jeff,
help come down here. The USB port is exploding in
front of Gandhi's ding. I heard that sixteen pocks you
smell it. Oh my god, the firearm is gonna go on.

(09:35):
Come down here, please. If I'm recording, I'm rolling on
a commercial.

Speaker 6 (09:38):
Video recording because it again and its smoked because when
you know it won't happen, he comes here.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
Of course, was it because something was plugged in?

Speaker 2 (09:46):
No, it's proofed out of there that' saw it?

Speaker 5 (09:51):
Oh my god, I'm still recalling.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Training design to accelerate entry into the workforce.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
You got back to this because well he gets paid
to do that. You know what?

Speaker 6 (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 2 (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. That's weird. So did you tell Jeff the
engineer why you believe that thing was exploding? Gandhi?

Speaker 4 (10:40):
I did, and then I was told to be quiet
anyone else.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
This things kind of came off. It's like a TAMU extender.
We probably should have paid more money.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
See what what happened was yesterday 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

(11:13):
and there's fire, and I can only assume that it
was actually liquid that did get down there.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Well, you didn't see twenty four hours later, you didn't
see the liquid in there because it dripped down onto
the transformer.

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

Speaker 4 (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.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
If somebody wasn't in the studio, would it have been bad. Well,
you guys didn't do anything to stop it, did you.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Well, yeah, Jeff ripped out the circuit. He goes, no,
we got to change this out here and put a.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Bit of one in. 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 on Jeff, Jeff, What do you do? Jeff? There

(12:09):
is no Jeff. Jeff is the nine one one of iHeart.
I don't know call him in all emergencies. We got
to move on. But anyway, so there you go, scary
in his habitat the Y chromosome. There it goes
