This was, unsurprisingly 100 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: in USA Today, written by a very good journalist. When 101 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: it comes to shipping pandas out of the country, deporting pandas, 102 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: look no further than Zoey Wells oh Man. 103 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,679 Speaker 2: Zoe does most of the Bear Front four facing news 104 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: and uh and she is the best in the visit 105 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: what she. 106 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: Does, she is there will soon be. This is actually insane. 107 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: This is a truly banana story. There will soon be 108 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 1: no pandas in the United States for the first time 109 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: since nineteen seventy two. 110 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: This is crazy. 111 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: After US zoos have agreements with China and they are 112 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: set to expire at the end of next year. So 113 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: I don't even know if the La Zoo has pandas. 114 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: Obviously zoos are problematic for a lot of people. Yeah, 115 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: they are prison for wild animals, but they. 116 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: Also do they've got to do a lot of conservation 117 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 2: work as well, so it's a it's tough. 118 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: It's maybe children love animals. I know I loved the 119 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: Baltimore Zoo as a little green banana, So. 120 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we go to La Zoo a lot 121 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: because we live two minutes from it. She did. The 122 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: kids love it so desperately, and I used to dislike 123 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,799 Speaker 2: them as a as a as a as a twenty something, 124 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 2: and now as a parent, ethical considerations are are muted 125 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: or are muted because the children love it. 126 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: That's that's very understandable. I'm sure a lot of ban 127 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: animals are nodding along. The National Zoo in Washington, d C. 128 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: Announced that it's pandas Tian Tian and Meijing and Jiao Jiaozi, 129 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: g oh good, I did my best. And there's so 130 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: many more in this. Because Zoe Wells hates bananas, will 131 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: return to China by this December. According to the zoo, 132 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: this is due to its three year agreement with the 133 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: China Wildlife Conservation Association. Okay, however, the Smithsonian Institution will 134 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: renew contracts when the time comes. This but they've been 135 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: trying to do this, but these attempts have failed. Sounds 136 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: like there might be something more going on. I don't 137 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: This move comes as zoos in Memphis, Atlanta, and San 138 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: Diego have all already had to return their pandas or 139 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: are going to at the end of the year, marking 140 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: the first time in fifty years the United States will 141 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: not have any pandas. 142 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 2: I mean, look, if the San Diego Zoo is getting 143 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 2: rid of its pandas, that's like, that's the premiere zoo 144 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 2: for some reason. Who knows why. I think it's just 145 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 2: because of late night talk shows. But and the weather, 146 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: and the weather's I was. 147 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: There two days ago. I was at San Diego Zoo 148 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: two days ago, so that's. 149 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: Where that was from. I saw those pictures. 150 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: When you and I were flying back from Atlanta and Raleigh. 151 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: I usually have tsa pre check and I didn't have it, 152 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: and I got so boned in Atlanta. I mean, I 153 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: I don't think I've waited that long in ten years, 154 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: and I was like, I got to fix this. And 155 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: my Global Entry for international travel had expired. It had 156 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: been ten years. So the only appointment I could get 157 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: was at the San Diego Airport a week away, because 158 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: at LAX it was over nine months until I could 159 00:08:58,920 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: get an appointment. 160 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 2: Oh my god. 161 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: So I drove down and went to Global Entry and 162 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: had to kill some time. Didn't hit traffic, hit up 163 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: that old San Diego Zoo, saw the new Quala exhibit. 164 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: It's incredible, is it really? It's awesome. It's worth taking 165 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: your kids down to. It's all right. And I passed 166 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: Lego Land. I was like, oh, hip Kurt had to 167 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: drive this farm. HM did not see panda, so I 168 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: will say that, yeah, there are lots of kualas all sleeping. 169 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 2: I wonder about this when they ship the pandas out, 170 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 2: I imagine, I don't know. To me, it seems like 171 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 2: pandas are just such a docile creature that they just 172 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 2: strap them into first class seats. 173 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: Yeah you know, yeah, they give them all the bamboo 174 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: they can chew and just put them in a first 175 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 1: class seat and strap them in their own emotional support thing. 176 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 2: Is it pandas or koalas that get high off the eucalyptus. 177 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: Qualas eat eucalyptus, and they did look stony. 178 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: I gotta say, oh, and pantas eat bamboo makes sense, 179 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 2: got it. 180 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: We're figuring stuff out, just little bits at a time. 181 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: It's an educational podcast. Some suspect the relations between the 182 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: United States and China are why the pandas are now 183 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: returning to China. The US was awarded its first panda 184 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: by China in nineteen seventy two.

And I hit Both's secret was 322 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: like I was just thinking to myself, how could you like? 323 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: That was what his secret was? That I had done 324 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: something not specific at all. And she was like okay, cool, great, interesting, 325 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: and Scotty, what was your secret? And I said my 326 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: secret was I imagine that Bo was responsible for killing 327 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: every panda on the planet. And she leapt to her feet. 328 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: Sheila was like, yes, that's it. You have to pick 329 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: something that will completely affect you, that'll change you. You 330 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: have to buy into it. And Bo was like white 331 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: as a ghost because he was like what the hell 332 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: are you talking about? Really, that's the time where I 333 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,479 Speaker 1: became a writer. In seven Acts, I was seething looking 334 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: at him. BO killed every panda on the planet, and 335 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:13,719 Speaker 1: he's just like, how could you? He probably loses every relationship.

It's not us doing it. They're 462 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: actually doing it in Suffolk. 463 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 2: And it's as part of the council's turning our town 464 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 2: around projects. 465 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: Don't even do it. 466 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 2: Residents in businessvie. 467 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 1: Every word of this is dirty to a thirteen year 468 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: old boy's mind. 469 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 2: Turning our town around and going to town project.

Just respectful and publicly accessible 475 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 2: but secluded locations such as this. It is sadly common 476 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 2: to find raised tombstones being used as tables to consume 477 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 2: alcohol and drugs. They also are sometimes the site of 478 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 2: sexual activity. Police were offering their opinions on ways to 479 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 2: design out crime at the planning stage of the redevelopment. 480 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 2: This included protection of raised tombstones, which the FOCE said 481 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 2: were sometimes the site of sexual activity. You said that, guys, yep, 482 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 2: it is said that it is. I mean, like, this 483 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 2: is crazy. They're just repeating themselves. It's said it's also 484 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 2: counterfined raised tombstones being used as tables for alcohol and drugs. 485 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 2: This is where maybe Rachel maybe like race wrote a 486 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 2: bunch of and then guy wrote the same stuff, and 487 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 2: then nobody really read it after they wrote it. 488 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: No, and why would they They were all hot under 489 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 1: the collar. 490 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 2: They're all hot, bothered gonna go bone in a cemetery. 491 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 2: It said, it's also common, Oh my god, they wrote 492 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 2: it in a religious setting. The anti social behavior is 493 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 2: particularly disrespectful. I think so it is more likely that 494 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 2: this will occur in the area at the back of 495 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 2: the church when the protective railings are removed. 496 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: The force set are they talking about? 497 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 2: It recommended measure to deter activity on top of the tombstones, 498 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 2: including creating enclosures for individual tombstones or small railings at 499 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 2: the top edge of the tombstones as used in other 500 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 2: parts of the town.
