• 3:09
  Health inspectors also found mouse droppings
• 3:11
  near a storage shelving unit during the inspection.
• 3:15
  This is not the first instance, as inspectors
• 3:18
  reported mouse droppings last winter, and a Yelp
• 3:21
  reviewer noted seeing a mouse while dining in
• 3:24
  August. While this particular location has faced
• 3:27
  issues, other legal seafoods locations have not

  reported any rodent problems this year. Now on
• 3:39
  to sports. Number 16 Southern California visits

  Number 6 Oregon in a marquee matchup with college
• 3:47
  football playoff implications. Southern California

  to secure a playoff spot. The Trojans also need

  to win their season finale against rival UCLA.

  This crucial game influences everything for both
• 4:05
  teams. Trojan's coach Lincoln Riley expressed
• 4:09
  confidence in his team. Oregon is under pressure,
• 4:13
  too, as a loss could end their playoff hopes.
• 4:17
  Coach Dan Lanning acknowledged the excitement
• 4:19
  of high -stakes games. And over to pro football.

  eight times, and Kellen Bullock forced three
• 4:29
  turnovers. With his second interception sealing
• 4:32
  the Texans, 23 -19 win over the Buffalo Bills

• 5:03
  The Texans regained the lead with an 8 -yard
• 5:06
  touchdown pass just before halftime. In local
• 5:10
  sports, with the way Drake May is performing
• 5:14
  and the struggles of Cincinnati's defense, Joe
• 5:17
  Burrow's potential return on Sunday may do little
• 5:20
  to change the outlook for the Bengals. Borov
• 5:24
  has been a full participant in practice this
• 5:26
  week, working his way back from a turf toe injury
• 5:29
  he sustained on September 14th against Jacksonville.
• 5:34
  Bengals coach Zach Taylor stated, I am not there
• 5:37
  yet. We will use the time we have and come up
• 5:40
  with the best decision. May has completed 71
• 5:44
  .9 % of his passes for 2 ,836 yards, both lead
• 5:50
  best. Cincinnati's all -pro receiver Jemar Chase
• 5:55

  announced a new biometric kiosk system for travelers
• 6:17
  without real identification. charging $18 for
• 6:21
  10 days of airport security access. Facial recognition
• 6:26
  technology will verify identity, though security
• 6:29
  clearance is not guaranteed and additional screening
• 6:33
  may still occur. Travelers could be subject to
• 6:36
  this new airport security screening program without
• 6:39
  a real identification or passport. It remains
• 6:43
  unclear when the new system and fee will be implemented.
• 6:47
  The Transportation Security Administration is
• 6:50
  working to ensure security and efficiency at
• 6:53
  checkpoints. In business news, real estate investors

• 8:47
  back to the show. Let's talk tech. Amazon's lawsuit
• 8:53
  against perplexity has opened the door to the
• 8:55
  major conflict over AI browsers. This dispute
• 8:59
  highlights what is now being called the DoorDash
• 9:02
  problem. At its core, this issue concerns the
• 9:06
  impact of AI interfaces on service providers
• 9:09
  like DoorDash and their relationships with consumers.
• 9:14
  If users increasingly rely on AI agents to order
• 9:17
  products, traditional business models could be
• 9:20
  jeopardized. Amazon's legal action aims to stop
• 9:24
  Perplexity's AI -powered Comet browser from shopping
• 9:28
  on its website, which it claims violates the
• 9:31
  Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. This confrontation
• 9:34
  signals a significant shift in the economic landscape
• 9:38
  driven by AI. And in entertainment news, Christopher
• 9:46
  Nolan revealed to Empire magazine that he shot

• 9:55
  this year. The movie is Nolan's adaptation of
• 9:59
  Homer's Greek epic and Marx's follow -up project
• 10:02
  to Oppenheimer. which won him the Oscars for
• 10:05
  Best Picture and Director. Nolan noted, as a
• 10:09
  filmmaker, you're looking for gaps in cinematic
• 10:12
  culture, things that haven't been done before.
• 10:16
  Matt Damon reunites with Nolan to headline The
• 10:18
  Odyssey in the lead role Hodesius, alongside
• 10:22
  a stellar cast including Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway,
• 10:25
  and Zendaya. The film is set for release on July
• 10:29
  17th. 2026 from Universal Pictures. Well, alrighty
• 10:35
  folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And
• 10:39
  today, our quote comes from the American diplomat
• 10:43
  and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, George C. Marshall.
• 10:48
  And he said, Peace is more than the absence of
• 10:52
  war. It is a positive force, a vital force, a
• 10:56
  constructive force. And that's a wrap for this
