Billie Eilish, Yes, the Baby first. 83 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: He's a North Carolina native, and I think the Baby 84 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: will replace Pete Pablo Lil. 85 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: Nasax definitely took advantage of his superstardom and took that 86 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: all the way to the top.

Yes, and Hot 102 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: Girl Summer. Everybody was talking about it. I don't care 103 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 2: who you were, your mama, your grandmama, your granddaddy. Everybody 104 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 2: was talking about Hot Girl Summer. My mom better not 105 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 2: be saying hot Girl Summer. But yes, everyone was talking 106 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: about Hot Girl Summer. And everybody was also talking about 107 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 2: her extraordinary ability to work. Megan thee Stallion has vibranium knees. 108 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 3: Yes, how old is Megan thee Stallion. 109 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: She's like twenty four. I don't think I could have 110 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 2: done that at twenty. 111 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 3: Four, I don't think. 112 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 2: So she gets low and she stays down there and 113 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 2: I'm like, you, okay, sis right, somebody would have to 114 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 2: help me up. 115 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: It's amazing to me, and I thought, let's do a 116 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: little bit of science behind that, because people are not 117 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: really appreciating what Megan thee stallion is doing. 118 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: So let's break down the art of getting low. 119 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 2: And I think in order to do that, we really 120 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 2: have to kind of just turn the complex twerks that 121 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 2: megane stallion does into a basic movement. Yes, the square root, oh, 122 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 2: like the square root of a twerk. 123 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 3: Is a squat. 124 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 2: Absolutely so for a squat, the major muscles that you 125 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 2: are using are your quads, your calves, and your glutes. 126 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 2: But there are also other ligaments and tendons that are 127 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,559 Speaker 2: super important, like your IT band. 128 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 3: This is your. 129 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 2: Illeo tibial band. Okay, this ligament is right along the 130 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 2: thigh bone, so it extends from your knee all the 131 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 2: way up to your hip. It is the thickest and 132 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: longest tenon in your entire body. 133 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: Basically your IT band and the muscles that are associated 134 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: with it help you extend, abduct, and basically rotate your hip. 135 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: It also contributes to knee stabilization. 136 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 3: And that brings us back. 137 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: To what you said, TG that meganistallion has knees of vibranium. 138 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and so I think the vibranium pieces are 139 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 2: her it band for sure. But there are also some 140 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: other parts of your knees that are very important. Right. 141 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: Yes, your knee has tons of ligaments to keep it stabilized. 142 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: So first you have your ACL, and that's your anterior 143 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: cruciate ligament. And so I think everybody's heard of that 144 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: athletes tear the ACL all every other day. 145 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 3: It's really a sad story. 146 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: The MCL, that's your medial collateral ligament, and that stabilizes 147 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: the inner part of your knee, and the outer part 148 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: of your knee is stabilized by the lateral collateral ligament 149 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: or the LCL. 150 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 2: Okay, so ACL in the front, MCL in the middle, 151 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: and LCL on the side, and all of those things, 152 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 2: those powers combined prevent you from flipping your leg backwards 153 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: like a cricket. 154 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 3: That's right. 155 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: Keeping everything in line. Now, some of y'all at play sports, 156 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: you know you've seen a torn ACL, MCL, whatever, l 157 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: or just somebody taking a nail, and I haven't seen 158 00:07:58,760 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: her take one. 159 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 2: That's right. So with all those things in mind, it 160 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 2: seems like Megan the stallion, those ligaments and tendons are 161 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: just superior to the rest of us. Really, there's no 162 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 2: way you can become like Megan the Stallion if you 163 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: aren't already. Now, I've seen some of you on these internets, 164 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: and some of you are Megan the Stallion adjacent because 165 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: of your ability to get low and stay low. I 166 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 2: am not there. 167 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll just continue reporting. Okay, we're ready to move 168 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: on to our next category. Next up is sports. Now, 169 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: first we got to shout out DC Sports. 170 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 2: Yes, that's the home team. So men Zakia live right 171 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 2: outside of DC in Maryland. So all those DC teams 172 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 2: are the home team, except for the football team because 173 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 2: they need to change their name. The Nationals, the Capitals, 174 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 2: and the Mystics, they all brought the chip home this 175 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 2: year and so we are very proud. 176 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: Another proud moment in sports was a women's soccer team. 177 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, that was so funn the watch. 178 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 3: Yes, Megan her Pino. 179 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 2: Is a hero. Yes anything and Sports and Sports Illustrated 180 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 2: made her their Athlete of the Year. 181 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 3: I'm behind that, I can see it. 182 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 2: You know. 183 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: Team USA did their thing and they really had her. 184 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: She was a great leader on and off the field 185 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: this year. But the Dope Labs Athlete of the Year. 186 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: My inner Dominique Dolls is very very proud Simone Biles. 187 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: That's right. 188 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: Simon Bows showed y'all that you ain't never done a 189 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: flip like that before. 190 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: You thought you was flipping, but you wasn't. You was 191 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 2: just standing still. 192 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: You don't know what power is, and I definitely don't 193 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 1: understand gravity or physics when it's coming. When it comes 194 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: to what she is doing. I saw her do a 195 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: flip in some jeens. Okay, sometimes I feel like my 196 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: jeens don't even cooperate when I sit down. 197 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 3: Let me tell you, into my chair. 198 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 2: I was sitting too long in a pair of jeans, 199 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 2: and I thought I was going to die. I couldn't 200 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 2: do a flip. 201 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it. 202 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 2: Simone Biles has not only just obliterated the playing field 203 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 2: like no one is coming close to her, she also 204 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: is doing these new tricks that are being named after her. 205 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 2: There's the Biles and then there's the Biles two. 206 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 3: One wasn't even enough. I am blown away. I'm like, 207 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 3: what's next? 208 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 2: Right? So for this section, we're gonna be dissecting the 209 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 2: Biles two, which is a triple double flip. She's doing 210 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 2: two flips and three twists. That's how you get the 211 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 2: triple double. 212 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: So here's the biles too. She begins to jump up 213 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: defy gravity, and she begins her first twist. As she's 214 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: doing that twist to rotate around, she's completing her first flip. 215 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: Before that flip is done, she does a complete rotation again, 216 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: another three sixty degree twist. Then she completes her second 217 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: flip as she's twisting for the third twist, second flip, 218 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: and she lands smooth as butter perfect ten and she lands. 219 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: So it just seems so soft too. I don't know 220 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 2: how she does it her ankles. What are her ankles 221 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 2: made of the same stuff that Megan the Stallion's knees 222 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: are made out of. So the Biles two can be 223 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: broken down into three basic movements, a jump, a flip, 224 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 2: and a twist. So first you have a jump. So 225 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 2: we're all held to the ground by gravity, the gravitational force, 226 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 2: and that's called G when somebody's in space. That's why 227 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 2: they say zero G because there's no gravity. So in 228 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 2: order to just get off the ground a jump, you 229 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 2: have to exert enough force to cancel out the force 230 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: that is holding you down to the earth. Then as 231 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 2: soon as you jump, you're exerting more force up than 232 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 2: you are down, so you're able to get up off 233 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 2: the ground. 234 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 3: Okay, so to jump. 235 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 2: High you really have to propel yourself up. 236 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 3: So if you want to jump up and stay up, which. 237 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 2: Is what Simone is doing, she's practically levitating up there, 238 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 2: you've really got to be very very strong. 239 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: And then you have a flip. And the flip is 240 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: your heels coming up above your head. Yes, so when 241 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: we think of like a summrsault, that's. 242 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 2: A flip exactly. But the technique that she uses is 243 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 2: what's really special. When she's doing this flip, she tucks 244 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 2: her arm in her leg while she's in the air, 245 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 2: and this actually makes her speed up while she's doing 246 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 2: the flip. What right, then you have a twist, and 247 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 2: the twist part, she also has another special technique that 248 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 2: she does where she puts one arm up and one 249 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 2: arm down and it's an angular momentum twist. So by 250 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 2: redistributing the mass, it also creates like a kind of 251 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 2: like a counterbalance that also makes her speed up, so 252 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 2: she's able to do the three rotations and two flips. 253 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: That is crazy. So Simone Bowles is a physicist. That's 254 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: what you're telling me. 255 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 2: Yes, give that girl a PhD, doctor, Simone Biles. So 256 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 2: far we've discussed music and sports, but coming up after 257 00:12:50,440 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 2: the break, we're gonna jump into technology and politics. And 258 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 2: we're back and next up in our mixtape is tech. 259 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: There are a lot of great things that happen. The 260 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: iPhone eleven came out. Yes, I didn't know I needed 261 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: three lenses, but I did. 262 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 2: We all did. I have three lenses Now. 263 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: I think the technology that I've seen advancing and just 264 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: appearing everywhere is facial recognition software. 265 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 2: As so, absolutely it is everywhere. None of us, let 266 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 2: me repeat, none of us have not used facial recognition technology. 267 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 2: A lot of y'all are out there thinking that you haven't, 268 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 2: but you have all these filters, honestly, every single filter. 269 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 3: I think that's where it started. 270 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 2: Snapchat. You know. 271 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: I used to say Snapchat is creepy, Snapchat is crazy, 272 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: And before I knew it, I had dog gears and it. 273 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 3: Happened so fast. 274 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 2: It was the flower crown. 275 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: I was enjoying it great, and then I was like, 276 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: how does it know where to put these freckles? How 277 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: does it know where to put this nose because it 278 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: recognizes your face. 279 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 2: Girl, exactly. So the way that facial recognition technology works 280 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 2: is that one it's technology that's able to recognize a 281 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 2: human face and then measure its features. And every face 282 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 2: has distinguishable landmarks and different peaks and valleys and things 283 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 2: like that. Your face is a map, right, Like Zakia 284 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 2: has big eyes and I have a big fourhead. Do 285 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 2: you not have big eyes? I can see will the 286 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 2: white parts don't see? But and each human face has 287 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 2: about eighty nodal points, which are these landmarks. And so 288 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 2: what the software does is that it measures everything. So 289 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 2: it's able to measure the width of your forehead, the 290 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 2: width of your nose, the length of your jaw, the 291 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 2: width of your smile, your mouth, the distance between your eyes. 292 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 2: And then what these social media apps do is they 293 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 2: take the those measurements and then they're like, okay, so well, 294 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 2: then this is where I'll put the dog ears, this 295 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 2: is where I'll put the flower crown, this is where 296 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 2: I'll put the whatever. 297 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: Yes, And we didn't even stop there. We said thank you, Snapchat, 298 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: I'll have another, and then we started doing these things 299 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: where we were saying age me ten years exactly. I 300 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: want to see what I'm going to look like when 301 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: I'm wrinkley, And a lot. 302 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: Of people did it. It's a lot of fun. But 303 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 2: the difference, I think the difference is is like what 304 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 2: folks are doing with that information later on, and the 305 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 2: technology is advancing. So facial recognition used to only be 306 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 2: two D. Now we have three D facial recognition. 307 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 3: What what does it mean. 308 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 2: That iPhone that you have when you have unlocked with 309 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 2: your face. But when you were trying to. 310 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 3: Set that up, it said to turn to the side. 311 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 2: It said look to the camera, look into the camera, 312 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 2: and turn your head all around. So I did it 313 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 2: to that three D facial recognition technology knows every nook 314 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 2: and cranny of that face. 315 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: And that makes so much sense because now now they 316 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: have all the markers on my face, right. So that's 317 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: why when I have my sunglasses on, it still knows 318 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: who I am because it has all these other markers 319 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: from all around, right. 320 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 2: Or if your phone is on the table and you're 321 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 2: looking down at it, it still knows that it's you. Yeah. 322 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: But you know what, when I'm sleepy and I swipe 323 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: up in that phone unlocks, I say thank you Steve Job. 324 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 2: But this technology is really cool and really useful for 325 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 2: a lot of other things. So people are able to 326 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 2: use this, like for crimes and things like that. Like 327 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 2: if you have a mugshot, they're able to scan that 328 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 2: mugshot into facial recognition technology. And let's say they're looking 329 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 2: for that criminal or the alleged criminal in a sea 330 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 2: of people, They're able to locate that person based on 331 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 2: that Based on that mugshot. The government already has your face. 332 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 2: If you have a government issued ID like a passport 333 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 2: or a driver's license or any type of government issued 334 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 2: documentation that has your photo, they have your face. And 335 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: so they use they have all that information stored. 336 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, I felt like I'm just 337 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: gonna take it back. And y'all some of y'all might 338 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: not remember this, but I remember y two K and 339 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: people were scared of computers. Okay, we were like, oh, 340 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 1: what are they gonna do when it resets to two thousand. 341 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 2: Everybody's withdrawing all their money from their bank account. 342 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 3: Yes, we had so much bottled water. 343 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: And when you think about that and how skeptical we were, 344 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: and now I'm like, when I can't purchase with Apple 345 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: pay or PayPal or something where I have my information 346 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: stored and it just needs to scan my face. 347 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 2: I cancel it. Yeah, I'm like, no, you think it 348 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 2: ain't worth it. 349 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 3: You want me first of all, I'm shopping in the night. 350 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 2: You want me. It's shopping by the light of the moon. 351 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 2: You want me to throw those covers back. Damned up 352 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 2: with my non MEGANI stallion knees and non someone biles ankles, 353 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 2: risk my it band, risk it all to go get 354 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 2: that wallet. It's not happening. 355 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: And by the time I make all those steps, I'm like, 356 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: you don't need to buy this. You have enough candles. 357 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: How many greeting cars. 358 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 3: Do you need to buy? I love to buy people's 359 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 3: art own greeting cards. 360 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 2: I said this the other day. I was like, you 361 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 2: do not need a sweatshirt. This is cool, aunt, Yes, 362 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 2: you do. 363 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: The thing what people forget is that all of this 364 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: technology has to be It needs data to be trained. 365 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: And I feel like no one is slowing down and saying, 366 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 1: wait a minute, is this the best idea? 367 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 2: Yes? 368 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 1: Like t T said, this technology takes all of these 369 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: different pieces of information and it's relational. It says, okay, 370 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: I see this is these peaks are up here. Those 371 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 1: are your eyebrows, and some of y'all drawing them too high, 372 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: but that's not what we're going to talk about. 373 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 3: And they say, these are your eyebrows. 374 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: And then over here this shiny part right here, these 375 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: are your cheeks, you know, And so it makes a. 376 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 3: Match highlighter too much highlight? 377 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 1: Okay, that nars albatross t tbot that four years ago, 378 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: and I'm. 379 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 2: And we've been painting ourselves with it Tennyson's and so 380 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 2: it takes all this information. It says, this is a face. 381 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: But one of the things that we've been seeing come 382 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: up in the news about this type of technology is biased. 383 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: When people are pro and creating this software, they're saying, 384 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: this is what a face should look like. And if 385 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: you only train these systems or this technology on a 386 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 1: certain type of face, then yeah, you always expect the 387 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: face to look narrow, plenty nose, little eyes. 388 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 2: Some of us have big eyes. Okay, And I think 389 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 2: it's so important. 390 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: You know, this technology is only as good as the 391 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: people designing it and the data sets that they use 392 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 1: to train it. So this is great technology, but there's 393 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: so much room for improvement to eliminate bias, right, and 394 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: that bias can lead to technology that ends up being 395 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 1: sexist or racist, and that's also been in the news. 396 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: So while yes, we all love dog ears and flower 397 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: crowns and the smooth skin filter on Instagram. 398 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 2: Yes, it's perfect on a long day, there's still so 399 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 2: much more to do when we think about this technology 400 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 2: being implemented in other areas and it's inclusivity. And next 401 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 2: up in our mixtape is politics. 402 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 3: And you may be thinking, why do we have to 403 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 3: hear about this. 404 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 2: Again, Well, it's because all these things are very important 405 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 2: to our everyday lives. It's important who is in these 406 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,199 Speaker 2: positions of power and what they're doing and all these 407 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 2: things like that, So we're gonna talk about it. I 408 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 2: feel like the story of the year has been crime. 409 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 2: Who's doing crime, When did the crime occur, who was 410 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 2: in on the crime? How many crimes did they do? 411 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 3: Was it enough crime? More importantly, is it enough crime 412 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 3: to be impeached? 413 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: Right? 414 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: So our twenty nineteen political moment is around impeachment. Now, 415 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 1: I've seen your tweets, I've seen your Instagram stories, and 416 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 1: I'm a little worried because it seems like y'all think 417 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: impeachment is actual removal from office, and I hope I 418 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: don't sound ridiculous, but that's not what impeachment is. Impeachment 419 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 1: is just the filing of formal charges. You can be 420 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: impeached and still remain president. I know y'all didn't forget 421 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton, right, who was impeached but then remain president 422 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 1: and president. So let's get down to the nitty gritty. 423 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 2: In Article two, Section four of the Constitution, it gives 424 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 2: the House of Representatives the sole right to impeach an official, 425 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 2: and an official can be the President, the vice president, 426 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 2: or any civil officers of the United States. 427 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: There is Congress, right, and Congress is split into two houses. 428 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: The higher house is the Senate, in the lower house 429 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: is the House of Representatives. I thought that Congress had 430 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: the right to impeach. I didn't know it was only 431 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives. 432 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 2: So the reason why the framers, which is the people 433 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 2: who drafted up the Constitution, put this into it was 434 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 2: because prior to the Constitution being drafted up, each state 435 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 2: had impeachment laws for their government officials, and so they 436 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 2: saw that and said, this is really important, and it's 437 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 2: important because it keeps all of our government officials in check. 438 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 2: They know that they are not above the law, and 439 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 2: if they do things that will harm the public or 440 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 2: abuse the powers of their office, that they can be 441 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 2: tried and possibly removed from that position. 442 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: So let's give the general flow chart of how impeachment works. 443 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: Impeachment starts in the House of Representatives. So the House 444 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: has this committee called the Judiciary Committee, and if impeachment 445 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: is pursued, the House tells the Judiciary Committee to review 446 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 1: all the evidence and see if there are sufficient grounds 447 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: to impeach. Then the whole House votes on whether or 448 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: not to impeach, and all it requires is a simple majority. 449 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: If the House chooses to impeach, the Senate then holds 450 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: a trial to decide whether the officer that could be 451 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: the president or any other official should be removed and 452 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: barred from holding federal office in the future. 453 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 2: Just a quick note here, we've actually never had a 454 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 2: president be forcibly removed from office as a result of 455 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 2: an impeachment. We've had two presidents that were impeached, and 456 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 2: neither of them were Nixon. 457 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 3: Yep. 458 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 2: Nixon actually left before the House voted on impeachment. 459 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 3: He was like the writing's on the wall, I'm out 460 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 3: of here. 461 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 2: It was actually former President Johnson and then former President 462 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 2: Bill Clinton. 463 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: So there's a trial at the Senate, and if the 464 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 1: Senate chooses to convict the president, that president is forcibly 465 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: removed and the current vice president becomes the new president. 466 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: So hopefully you have a better understanding of what's going on, 467 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: what's been happening, and what's coming up. 468 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 2: This was a lot of fun. 469 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 3: I could have gone on for hours, all right. 470 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: So what would you say was the most important piece 471 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: of cinema in twenty nineteen? 472 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 2: In twenty nineteen, Yeah, definitely when they see us. 473 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: Yes, I was gonna say that and us. A lot 474 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: of people are talking about Queen and Slim. I haven't 475 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: seen it, so I haven't. I can't really talk about 476 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: it right me either, but when we have to go 477 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: see it. 478 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 2: What is your favorite meme from twenty nineteen, it's. 479 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 1: Kickie Palmer, hands down. Sorry to this man, I hope 480 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: I don't saund ridiculous. What's your favorite thing that's happening 481 00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: in your scientific field? 482 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 2: Oh? For me, I think it's the redefinition of the kilogram. 483 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 2: So before twenty nineteen, the kilogram, which is how we 484 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 2: standardize all weights for everything. Was an actual physical thing 485 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 2: that is housed under vacuum somewhere in Paris or somewhere 486 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 2: in France. Okay. And so now they have this thing 487 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 2: called a kibble balance that uses electro mechanical measurements to 488 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 2: define a kilogram. It's very cool. What's your favorite science moment? 489 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: When I learned that mosquitoes could taste deep with their feet, 490 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: which is why they don't land on you, I have 491 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 1: my mind has been blown. They're not tasting with their mouth, 492 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: they have receptors on their feet. 493 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 2: And if you want to hear more about that, listen 494 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 2: to our episode called Predator. 495 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: Yes, that's when I went down that rabbit hole and 496 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: I haven't come back. 497 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 3: Between that and our truth Pie episode. 498 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: So I started reading this book called fourteen twelve, and 499 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: now I'm reading all about the landscape of the Americas 500 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: before the settlers. 501 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 2: It is wild for me. The book that I started 502 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 2: reading after an episode was after How Not to Get 503 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 2: Away with Murder? Our guest on there she has a 504 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 2: book called Inside the Cell, very very good. That's it 505 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 2: for Lab twenty.
