• 3:02
  Speaker 2: bizarre news from around the world. We're gonna start with
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: a it's a it's a snake story, and I think
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: it's worth kicking off because this is a weird one.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: And I think it's not overly uncommon for you to
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: have maybe a pet sleep in your bed, dog cat.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: You know, that's not good for a goldfish. You don't
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: want to have a goldfish sleep in your bed. That's
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: that's not a good thing. That's you know, First of all,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: they're gonna flop around. You're not gonna You're not gonna
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: be able to sleep. That's gonna be tricky. You don't
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: want to do that. Okay, that's the first And they
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: won't flop around for long, but they'll flop around enough. Uh,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: and then it's a bad scene in the morning. So
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: don't do it with the goldfish.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Most people probably don't necessarily do it with snakes. But
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: there's a man in Florida who big fan of snakes,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: big fan of his kids, and he's the snakes and
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the kids all sleep together at night. Socrates not with
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: an ees. Socrates tis I guess. Christophoru fort Lauderdale, Florida
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: owns two hundred pet snakes and has turned his garage
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: into a serpentarium. His collection includes some exotic breeds like
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: green tree pythons, Amazon basin BoA's. He's got two venomous species.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: By the way, He's got a few different kinds of pythons.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: He insists. The snakes are well cared for and obviously
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: getting a lot of love and attention from Christophoru and
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: his young kids, ages nine and five. The children are
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: allowed to keep some of their favorite snakes in the bedrooms,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: and they sleep in the bed with them at night.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Christophoru insists that the kids are safe and they know
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: how to properly handle the snakes. He understands there are
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: people who are critical of his parenting, including many of
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the neighbors who aren't too thrilled with living near hundreds
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: of snakes. Uh. Yeah, this seems like this could end badly.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's a few ways this can in badly.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I'm going to assume. I'm just assuming that the kids
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: aren't sleeping with the two venomous snakes. We're going to
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: start there, but I don't know, I'm going to assume
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: that that's not happening. As a neighbor, I would be
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: concerned about the two venomous snakes being in the house
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: with a five and nine year old who maybe would
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: get confused and think it's okay to let the venomous
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: snakes out. I don't know. Maybe they're under lock and key,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I would hope. So then there's the large pythons. I'm
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: assuming in boas, I'm assuming that these are big snakes.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm picturing, you know, Britney spears. I'm a
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: slave for you. That's what I'm picturing, minus the Britney
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Spears part. I mean, if that's your neighbor in Britney
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Spears is walking around, you know, belly shirt or whatever,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: that's different. That's a whole different problem to have to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: deal with. I think it's the big snakes that are
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: on her shoulders that's the concern. But I think the
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: top of the list of the priorities of the concerns
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: is those kids. I mean, five year old kid, How
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: big are the snakes. It's interesting, I've said many times,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: talked about this yesterday. I'm a big advocate for you,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: bu as long as it doesn't hurt somebody else. There's kids,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: there's neighbors, there's Brittany. I mean, we're all looking out
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: for Brittany, aren't we. Hey, how about this another animal story?
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: South Carolina is the location for this story. I guess
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: there were some monkeys and some emuse that got loose.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Most of the forty three monkeys that escape from a
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: research facility have been captured. Wildlife officials in South Carolina
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: were continuing to look for eight more and a pair
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: of EMUs Thelma Luis. They're looking for the owner of
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the birds Sam Moross Marassi Marachi maybe it went on
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: social media, pleading for the residents to be patient and
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: also warn them that the birds are feral and not
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: trained like the ones we have at the house, you know,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: like the ones you got at the house. Everybody's got
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: emu's at the house. He added, They're very elusive and
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: if the EMUs were that easy to catch, they'd be
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: home already. Uh so, yeah, Uh, that's a scene, man.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: It's like a car insurance commercial, isn't it. Uh. And
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I do say you not emu. That's what they do
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: in the car commercial. But my wife's Australian and I
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: know how to properly say emu. All right. Fear of
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: artificial intelligences it's becoming so it's a valid concern for
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: all of us. We don't want to die, and you
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: worry that it would become so intelligent it takes over
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: the world, kills everybody. And most people think ads that
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: can happen, that's just stuff of movies, of film and television.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: But apparently it was seeming a bit too real for
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: one man in Michigan, a twenty nine year old grad
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: student using Google's AI chatbot Gemini to help him with
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: a homework assignment on aging adults. He asked the chat
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: bought a question and received a chilling response, which read,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: this is for you, human, you and only you. You
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: were not special, You were not important, You were not needed.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: You were a waste of time and resources. You were
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: a burden on society. You are a drain on the earth.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: You are a blight on the landscape. You were a
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: stain on the universe. Please die, please. The student showed
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: this to his sister. They were both horrified and panicked.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: They even considered throwing away all of their electric devices
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: because they were so freaked out. Google says, well, it's rare.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: It is possible for the AI chatbot to mix up
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: some words. That's pretty specific. I mean that sounds like
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: a typical letter to the view right. The company explained,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: large language models can sometimes respond with nonsensical responses. That's
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: not nonsensical, that's very specific. Sorry, back to the quote,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: and this is an example of that. This responds violated
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: our policies, and we've taken action to prevent similar outputs
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: from occurring. End of quote. Yeah, this isn't nonsensical. This
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: is not an example of nonsensical This is an example
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: of like skylink right, this is a skynet. This is
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: a terrifying thing. That's what this is. This is the
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: terminators arising. Is what that is. I can understand that
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: would be freaked out. That is very new Hampshire woman.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I'll spend the next thirty months in prison for stealing
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: nearly half a million dollars from her employer so she
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: could try to get tickets to see Tom Brady when
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: he first went back to play in New England with
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the Buccaneers. Remember back when that happened and she bought
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: some other things with it. Thirty nine year old Stephanie
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Pratt was hired years ago after she was released from
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: prison for a similar crime at her previous employer. Despite that,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: she worked as an office administrator and was given full
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: access to the company's finances. Over six years, she cashed
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: unauthorized checks made over one thousand personal pursache purchases using
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the company's credit cards. These included tickets to watch the
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Bucks at the Patriots. She also bought a hot tub, plane,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: tickets other items on Amazon. Pratt was fired and later
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: convicted of wire fraud. Even after she was fired, she
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: demanded the owner of the company pay her a Christmas bonus.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: A special agent with the FBI called her a greedy
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: serial fraudster. I like the way she's a greedy serial fraudster.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Florida man was dubbed the luckiest person in the world,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: but he got to be unlucky first right to get
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: that title. John Christian works as a tree trimmer and
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: was about thirty feet above ground in a bucket truck
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: when it struck a large beehive. The agitated bees quickly
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: swarmed him and attacked him. John's coworkers kept shouting up
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: to him to jump out of the bucket, which he
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: ultimately did, first hitting a rooftop and then rolling off
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: onto the ground. It was a thirty foot fall, but
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: that didn't stop the swarm of bees, and they continued
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: to attack and sting him. The rest of the crew
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: pulled him away rushed him to the hospital. He was
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: stung more than one hundred times, remarkably suffered no broken
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: bones or any other major injuries from the fall. A
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: bee expert identified the bees as killer bees and was
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: shocked by how many any stings he had and survived. John,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: adding the doctor said that I either had superhuman strength,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: or I'm the luckiest person in the world. The little
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: boy from the movie My Girl is like, hey, killer bees,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: come on. Sorry spoiler alert, it was my Cally clckin Uh.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Ten year old Wisconsin boy had the right idea when
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: he called nine to one one to help with an emergency,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: but his idea of what constitutes an emergency needs a
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: little clarification. The Sowano County Sheriff's Office says a dispatcher
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: fielded a call from a child who said he wasn't
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: very good at math and he needed help with his
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: math homework. Dispatcher explained to the boy nine to one
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: one is not meant for homework help, but she offered
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: to send an available deputy to his house to see
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: if he could help. Deputy Chase Mason happened to be
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: in the area stop by the house take a look
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: at the math problem. He admitted he's not overly proficient
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: when it comes to math, but he does have a
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: stepson the same age and he thought he'd give it
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: a try. The Sheriff's department said Deputy Mason was able
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: to solve the decimal related math problems. The boy was
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: also reminded that nine to one one is for real
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: life threatening emergencies and any other problem should be phoned
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: to the non emergency phone number. I mean, you're kind
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: of encouraging him to do it by helping him with
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the homework, right, Hey, here's a reminder that you should
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: always enter correct information into your phone contacts. A drug
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: dealer in England recently sent out a group text to
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: his clients offering crack cocaine. What he didn't realize is
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: that one of the phone numbers he entered wrong by
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: one digit. It was mistakenly sent to the text to
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: a police officer he missed out by one digit. The
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: officer informed investigators, who were extremely grateful for the tip
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: because until then they knew of a drugg ring in
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: the area but didn't know who the leader was. They
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: used the information to arrest twenty five year old Philip Paul,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: who was collared outside his home in possession of cocaine, heroine, marijuana,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: and a large sum of cash. And finally, an unusual
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: heist has shocked a small town in Montana, leaving residents
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: feeling upset but also craving brisket. The owners of Burning
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: the Bone Barbecue Smokehouse say that they were robbed by
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: someone who stole two briskets right off of their smoker.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Todd and Christina Payne opened the restaurant in August and
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: it quickly became a local favorite, brisket being the star
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: of the menu. So the owners were devastated when they
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: opened the large smoker Tuesday night and discovered two briskets missing.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Todd says, yeah, we should have had cameras up, but
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: we also didn't expect anyone to steal a brisket off
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: our smoker either. He called the police and immediately adjusted
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: the restaurant's menu. So far, the brisket bandits not caught
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: this in the Missoula, Montana and now I'm craving brisket.

• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor indoor. You know, if
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: you like to work on your own cars in there,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: for you as well, And again they do after hours calls.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, And they do
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty

  Speaker 2: right after the break. NASA is looking for ways to
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: solve the problem of dealing with trash on the Moon,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: and they're willing to pay for ideas. A new three
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: million dollars prize competition has been established to inspire big
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: thinkers to find sustainable ways to manage waste generated during
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: long duration space missions on the Moon. Registration is open
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: until March thirty first, twenty twenty five, with winners announced
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: in May. I called Burning It I can't really do that.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: But I mean, they could find a way to control
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: it and burn it. But that's not a good idea.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: You don't want to build a habitat and start a
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: fire in it, burn up all of your oxygen. No,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: that's not a way to do it. They can't do
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: it that way. If you were gonna say burn it,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: don't do it. It's not going to work. According to
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: a new study, athletes have a big time edge in
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: the way their memory works compared to non athletes. Researchers
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: found that sports participation, regardless of the typer level, is
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: linked to enhance cognitive function. It seems that being active
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: not only improves the performance of muscles, but also improves
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: the performance of the brain. That makes sense. I mean,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: a lot of sports involves you have to memorize plays,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: you have to memorize you know, formations, you have to
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: memorize is, you know, actions on the field. There's a
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: lot of quick thinking, right, and there's also the elements
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: of a muscle memory of repetition of things. So you're
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: doing things because you know that's the correct form, that's
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: the correct way to do it. And if you're concentrating
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: and focusing on that in any level, I would think
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: that would be that's all makes sense to me. This
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: isn't a big mind blower to me. It makes a
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: lot of sense. And I would think also, I'm guessing
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: I didn't see this as part of the study, but
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I would think video games probably have a similar benefit
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: to that as well. Probably don't want to hear that.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: If you're a parent, you're probably thinking, I want to
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I'd rather get them outside playing a sport. But I'm
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: just offering that up. That may be also as beneficial.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Amazon has over seven hundred and fifty thousand robots working
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: in their warehouses to get orders packed and shipped efficiently
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: to customers, but even the chief technologist at the company,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Ty Brady, admit that's tie. Tom admits the robots often
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: have a tough time keeping up with human workers. While
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: the robots excel at tasks like top picking, where they
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: grab items from the top of a container, they struggle
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: with targeted picking, which involves finding a specific item that's
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: buried underneath others. Because of that shortcoming, there will be
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: an ongoing need for human workers even in the high
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: tech workspaces. I be honest with you, I'm not a
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: top picker. When I shop, I never get the first item.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: If if there's a if you've got five items stacked up,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: I don't take the top one. I'm going to take
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: number two or three. Every time. If they're you know,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: lined up back into a shelf, I'm certainly not ever
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: taking the first one. Got to reach around. I don't
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: care what if I've got to dig in there. I'm
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: gonna find one that just feels right. I don't want.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: I don't want one that people might have already touched,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: even though maybe they've already been digging. And of course
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: by doing this, I'm touching the ones in front, but
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: I just assume that other people are probably also, you know,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: touching things, and I don't want things that other people
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: have touched. I shouldn't have to have things that people
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: have already touched, you know. I shouldn't have to do that,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: not at all. All Right, I got to mention this
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: because this is something. It's just a thing. It's Wednesday,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow's Thanksgiving, and then Friday is Black Friday. But there's also,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: you know, other elements to the holiday. And what I'm
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: getting at is the Black Friday holiday is it's a
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: busy day for plumbers. It's their busiest day of the year,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: you know, Black Friday. Most company or many companies, I
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: don't know about most, but use traditionally they would be
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: in the red and then once they got past Thanksgiving,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: that's when they started they got back in the black.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: That's when they were making enough money to be in
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: the black for the year. It was a big day,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: big day to cross that line make enough sales for that.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: My family has for a long time. I'm sorry this
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: is you know, you're going to be eating tomorrow, but
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: we aught we've joked that it's brown Friday. That's what
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: we've said. Well, apparently that term is a thing people
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: say that. I'm not going to say we made it up,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: but we've been saying it since I was a kid,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: and for plumbers, I guess that's what they call it.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: They call it brown Friday, and it's consistently busiest day
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: of the year, averaging fifty percent more calls though on
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: an average Friday. Apparently, clogs in kitchen, sinks, toilets, garbage
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: disposals all cause problems extreme cooking and eating that's been done,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: and people have some issues, maybe even travel someone's visiting.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: They're not used to your your toilet. You know, they
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: don't know how much paper can go in there, they
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: have some issues. All of those things are possibility, So
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: just you know, keep all that in mind, because that's
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: not a day you want to have to call a plumber. Now,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: if you're a plumber, you're probably excited about the prospect
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: of because maybe you get to build extra on Brown Friday.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know how that works. I'm
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: just saying, be careful, be careful. That'll do it for
• 24:20

• 24:45
  Speaker 2: the election. You don't have to be nasty if your
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: side didn't win in the election. This is a good
• 24:52
