Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for that's incredible. That's incredible.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Incredible stories from around the world and beyond. We'll start
with this. North Carolina is reportedly dealing with an infestation
of fish native to China. They look like snakes, feed
on other fish, birds, and mammals, and can survive on
land for up to four days.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Survive on land.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yes, didn't we have a fish problem with fish from
China and our great legs?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Invasive carps something like that.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Yeah, And don't those stink bugs come from China.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
And they don't do well here because they can't be
an extreme cold and they don't care about eating the
food in your house or just trying to find warm.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Yeah, but they do stink smells so bad you kill
them when you kill them.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
A restaurant in Miami Beach is going viral for serving
caviar and a cocktail in a thirty three thousand dollars
as birkin bag.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Why would you do that? I mean, just to be
talked about. That's obnoxious. Oh, of course it's a really
expensive bag. Don't be getting your caviar all over.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Speaking of fish, right, that's the the fish eggs. Yeah, horrible.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I've never had caviar. I would like to try it, though,
I have to get clarification on how it's made, because
we were talking about getting some caviar because we've never
tried it either.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
And that seemed like something you would eat.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
No, but I do like to try things sometimes, Yeah,
and then I'll be like, Okay, I tried it. I
came across an article though that the way we procure
the caviar may.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Not be.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
In line with my beliefs.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I have to research more.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I I know that that trek trendy I watch all
the time, that guy who does the first class flights
and he's constantly, constantly with the caviar and all those
things that come with it.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Yeah, I didn't know what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
How many videos does he pump out a week?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Is it just not? No, he doesn't do a week.
He does like maybe every two weeks.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I'm surprised you have time for him still.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Oh no, Yeah, he's he's on like the B list.
You know, he's not my priority one.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Been a male British Airways flight attendant arrested after being
caught dancing naked in a bathroom last week. They say
drugs may have been involved. About fourteen million honey bees
escaped after a semi truck overturned in Washington State.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Have a little bit of that.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
When they said two hundred million bees, they meant it.
So when I heard that this had happened, we thought, well,
we got the suits, let's go and see what we
can do and help. So we're basically one by one
rebuilding the beehives over there, putting the frames back in
and then having to stack them.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
It calms them down with the smoke.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Sometimes it works when they're really angry like this, it
doesn't really work too well. We've had a number of
the bee keepers they've gotten stung, as well as a
couple of our deputies.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
That's a lot of bees we lost.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
It just reminds me of a nine to one one episode.
They literally made that thing go on for three episodes.
It was bees like take over a city.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Really yeah, because the bees went up in the air,
they could not see through them.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Oh yeah, gets a little lot.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
They fly with instruments, the tiny little instruments, the bees
talking out the plane. Oh no, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Oh, you want to make your burgers taste more like
McDonald's burgers. Here's a former corporate employee who breaks down
what's in the meat, and it's pretty simple.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I'm a former McDonald's corporate chef. I am going to
divulge some information for you. Nobody believes me. Just to
confirm this magic seasoning, they legally have to post the
ingredient statement on their website. I'll even put the meat
ingredient statement. It's just salt and pepper. There's literally no
other things in it. Eighty six percent salt, fourteen percent pepper.
The Hamburger, the mcdouble, the Double Cheeseburger, and the Big Mac.
(03:36):
Same seasoning is used on their quarter pounders. If you
do not think this is true, along with the beef
being all beef, go sue them. You could bring that
product to an independent lab.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Okay, I think McDonald's is gonna maybe should take that
guy down.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
No, why would I think what he's saying is good?
Don't you have to sign an NBA?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Okay, well, oversult McDonald's over saltan pepper. So are you?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I understand why you have to print ingredients because there's
a lot of allergies out there, But is KFC putting
up their original recipe?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Oh, it's interesting you say that.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, no, because I just also think that some restaurants
don't want their proprietary blends out there that everyone can make.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I did find out that in the KFC Original Herbs
and Spices, one of them is white pepper, which, ever
since I found that out, always buy white Pepper's good.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
It's really it's a different it's a difference maker. You
season everything now with.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
No.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I'm just saying that sometimes you know, it tastes good,
like when you when you're like when you're breading chicken,
you do a little white pepper, a little paprika, right,
paprika right
Speaker 1 (04:48):
The pap all right, Uh, there you go there
