1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,119
Speaker 1: Orcas in the Pacific are embracing a new fashion trend.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: The whale watchers and scientists in the US have spotted

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: orcas with dead salmon on top of their heads. Apparently

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,159
Speaker 1: the orcers are wearing the salmon like hats. And this

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: is not the first time it's Happened's actually the second time.

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: I know, second time it's happened. Is that you Dan

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: just chipping in?

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: Sorry?

9
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: Yes, this, Dan waiting in line. So shocked at this

10
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: that whales are wearing salmon like hats. Apparently they started

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: doing it in nineteen eighty seven, and then by the

12
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: following year they decided that the trend was passe. And

13
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: nobody knows why the orcers are doing it. That is

14
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: quite shocking and weird, isn't.

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 2: It, Dan? It is.

16
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 3: I'm sorry about that. You know you're getting older when

17
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 3: you start talking back to the radio. I just didn't

18
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 3: realize we were listening at the time.

19
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: What that's what we were all doing in our heads,

20
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: So you only said it out loud. Hey, So Putin

21
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: loves Trump by the sounds of things, he's Stokeday.

22
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: He does, he does, calling him intelligent and experienced. And

23
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 3: I find this interesting that he's saying. This is all

24
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 3: these tensions are ramping up between Russia and Ukraine right now,

25
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 3: and of course, as you just mentioned, you've got the

26
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 3: US and the long range missiles that have been given

27
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 3: the go ahead by Biden too. So it'll be interesting

28
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,279
Speaker 3: to see what happens when Trump gets into the office,

29
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 3: because he was the guy, don't forget that said he

30
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 3: could end this whole war between those two countries on

31
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: day one, within twenty four hours of getting into the

32
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: White House.

33
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: So might be getting a hit of himself here a

34
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: little bit. Because we were all laboring under the impression

35
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: that what was going to happen was Trump was going

36
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: to get in and force Selen Zelenski to give up

37
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: land for peace. But actually a counter narrative has started

38
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: to emerge, which is possibly what Trump is going to

39
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: do is just armed Zelensky to the teeth and let

40
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: him rain hell down on Putin.

41
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and I think that's why we may be

42
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: hearing some of these nice comments from Vladimir Putin as

43
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 3: well too, you know, because Trump has said, you know,

44
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: we're going to secure peace through strength, So take that

45
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: as you will. And I mean this is also just

46
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: a big sort of turnaround from what the Kremlin's been

47
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: saying over the last few weeks, last couple of months,

48
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 3: actually against Biden the whole administration, because he's been accusing

49
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: the US and Joe Biden specifically of escalating this war

50
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: with the Ukraine.

51
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: Dan, why is it that we are now all of

52
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: a sudden thinking gen z as might be the loneliest

53
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: generation just.

54
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 2: Because they're spending so much time on social media.

55
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: They're spending six hours or more a day, and I mean,

56
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 3: this is you know, this is loneliness is an emotion,

57
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: as psychologists are saying right now, and they've come out

58
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 3: with a study and they're saying, at some point we're

59
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: all going to be lonely in our lives, and especially

60
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 3: since the pandemic. The problem is gen z is feeling

61
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,279
Speaker 3: lonely all the time and they feel like this loneliness

62
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 3: is never going to go away. And this is ironic,

63
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: I guess you could say, because they're finding new ways

64
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: every day to connect without connecting, aren't they.

65
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 2: I mean seventy three percent.

66
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 3: Of these kids say I said, kids twenty something years

67
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 3: old say they fill alone and disconnected, but they're not

68
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 3: willing to go out and make that human interaction.

69
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: You know.

70
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: You talk to my daughter and she says, I've got friends. Okay,

71
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 3: are you going to talk to your friends?

72
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: Oh? I don't talk to them. Have you seen them? No?

73
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: I text with them. And that's what this generation is

74
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: doing with them, and they call them friends.

75
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: Okay. So does your daughter go out and have a party.

76
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: Does she drink? Does she no? Look up with no people?

77
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: No?

78
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: Nothing, no, No. Same with my son. They're twins, they're

79
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 3: both they're both eighteen, and most of their friendships and

80
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 3: their school friends and college friends are are the same.

81
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: I mean, they'll interact with each other in the classrooms,

82
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: but outside of the classroom, most of them are on

83
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 3: their phone texting with one another.

84
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: And that's why they live with one of them? Does

85
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: the other one is away on living on campus okay?

86
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: And the one that lives with you, do they go

87
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: out at the weekend or do they hang about at home?

88
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: No?

89
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: No, total introvert, just totally gaming, doing homework online. That

90
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: doesn't really socialize with anybody, even though he was in

91
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: abandoned school and stuff.

92
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: I know it does.

93
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 3: It does because I find that when this generation goes

94
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 3: out and they have to interact with people in the office,

95
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: or they have to that first big interview when they

96
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 3: graduate from university. It's like, well, how are you going

97
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: to get these social skills if you're not around real people.

98
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, totally. I'd be worried about it too, Dan, Listen,

99
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: tell me quickly. This California man went missing for twenty

100
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: five years and then his sister sees his picture in

101
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: the news and finds them. How does she recognize him?

102
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: Though, Well, he just vanished.

103
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: It was just happened to see a picture of him

104
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 3: online in an article and said, well, wait a minute,

105
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: this homeless guy looks very familiar. So contacted police. Police

106
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: reached out for help with the sheriff's apartment with a

107
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 3: missing person's unit. They were able to fingerprint this guy

108
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: who had been hospitalized, and they were able to positively

109
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: identify him as.

110
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: The same person who went missing in ninety nine. He was, Yeah,

111
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 2: he had just forgotten who he was and was just

112
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 2: down on the streets.

113
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: So I mean, it's a I guess you could call

114
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 3: it over here at least a nice Thanksgiving or a

115
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 3: nice holiday miracle.

116
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,040
