"But then it just, I don't know. It continues to happen. Yeah. The rug gets pulled out from under you. Whatever the language is that you're using to describe that, you lose your blueprint. Right? Right. I always think of this as so silly, but I always think of the fraggles. Do you remember the fraggles? I do. Yeah. And the little, I think they were called doers. These little green guys that would like, their whole role in the show. First of all, they were so cute. They would build these little structures that were really in depth and the fragile will combine and eat them. But the thing, the users is that they never slowed down. They were just like, okay, and then they just kept building another thing, you know? Yeah. What weird little lesson was Jim Henson trying to teach us. And I think the thing about when you lose your blueprint is that it's so disorienting that we get tricked into thinking that the best way to reorient ourselves is to stop and figure out what happened. And we end up obviously there's a time and a place for that and that's important to understand. But we sometimes get stuck here, trying to sort out the past. Yeah. And you turn totally towards the past and you kind of forget completely that there's a future out there too, you know? Yeah. And I think when we get stuck like that, that's when we get exhausted and depressed. Yeah. I think it's also like, I don't know, I'm not sure how you feel about this, but when things maybe aren't going well and we have that tendency to just do the right things or the things that we think are the right things. And you kind of put your head down, you know, we both know people like this. You know, or are like this, you know, and different situations, then you kind of shut down in a way. Yeah. And that you're just like, and your intentions are good. You're trying to do the right things. And it's so frustrating. That after the string of right things that you're doing, that it doesn't turn out the way that you thought it would. Right. But I wonder what with your head down, doing all the right things if you're not seeing what's really happening in front of you. Yeah, that's a really good point. You know, is that a reaction to pain or confusion or I don't know. And also what are you missing? Because you're so frantically acting. Yeah, not reflecting. Yeah, yeah. It's funny, I was listening to this thing by Gabriel mate. Do you know him? No. This morning, he's a fascinating researcher. He works in he was, I think he was like a general physician for many, many years and then he became a trauma researcher and works in addiction and trauma. And his one of his whole main things is that there is no there is no addiction without trauma. But anyway, he was I was listening to this talk the other day and he was talking about he's a very charismatic, affable person.

"But he was taking a lot of UCB comedy classes in his late 20s. And he saw one for puppetry for comedy and frog players. And I didn't do improv, but he knew I liked Jim Henson and Muppets and things like that. He's like, this seems like a random, fun thing for us to do. Took the class, that ended up just igniting like, oh yeah, I freaking love this. I've always been fascinated by it since I was a kid, but whoever thinks that like, this is a thing that people normal people do. Who even realizes there's people under there doing that stuff, right? I did. I did. What, you mean, does a hand in there? It was not our world. It was not our world. But as a kid, I was fascinated because you would see these behind the scenes videos, and it's like they've got the microphones on their heads and their arms are above their, you know, like up in the air and these sets are raised and you're like, oh my gosh, it's all a magic trick. It's not really what it is on TV. It's so cool. But yeah, so doing this class sort of reignited like, oh yeah, this is really fun. And my teacher, he saw, I think he recognized some talent in me, so he took me on gigs and things like that and truly never thought to pursue it. I just thought, isn't that so cool that I get to leave my childhood dream every once in a while, like on a weekend or a little, you know, like somebody's like a little independent project or whatever. And then in 2014, sesame workshop held a puppetry workshop. It's auditioned only to get in. And everybody in that improv class was going to submit tapes. I wasn't, because I was like, none of us are going to get in.
The Wild

"Okay, make some coffee. Love some coffee. Finally, inside, and out of The Rain, Jim Henson makes me a warm drink. He has an old hand crank coffee grinder clamped to his desk to make a fresh brew. Jim's in his late 60s tall with high cheekbones. And a complexion that's seen a lot of time outdoors. He's a quiet man, but I sense he's ready to talk. His home for several months each year is a 12 by 12 box that was packed up here by mules and horses in 1932. There are big single pane windows on all sides with 360° views of all the peaks around us. But there's no view today. The storm means we're up in thick clouds. The lookout is 15 miles from the nearest road and 6 miles from Canada. I heard it described as a crow's nest for smoke spotters. Literally perched at 6100 feet. Desolation rises up, among other peaks with equally ominous names, mount despair, damnation peak and mount terror. Artwork, photographs and sun faded handwritten quote decorate the space, Jim points proudly to the small library as on his desk. I've added quite a few books to the librarian and there were quite a few up here when I came, but fire on the mountain. Mixed in with the essential Lewis and Clark, and a book simply titled alone. Jim's job is to look for fires. Here in the giant forests of the north cascades, like all over the west, fires are getting bigger and more common, which means jobs like gyms are more important than ever. At the center of the lookout is Jim's main tool, the Osborne firefighter. It's like a giant compass about the size of a large pizza, and it sits on top of a tool table pride of place in the middle of the tiny room, and the compass part spins around like a lazy Susan over a detailed map. There's a crosshair gauge to look through. It turns there's a bearing ring that turns on 360°, and on one end it has the brass affair you look through with a slot for your eye. When Jim sees smoke, he turns the Osbourne, and lines up the sights, so it points to the location of the fire. He can then get a direction, a bearing, with the compass, to give fire crews on the ground, or in the air a precise location. You have to really pay attention to details in this job. As we used to say, you've got to be on a lookout about four seasons before you made enough mistakes, actually be able to read the land properly. So it's not exactly high technology, is it? It's technological and very, very clever, but it's not high-tech. No, it's based on what early surveyors used. It's a surveyor's transit is what Osborne was basing it on and before there were laser laser surveying. And satellites and all that. It was just eyeball. This is an analog system in a digital world. For more than a hundred years the forest service has been using osbournes and fire lookouts like this one, placing men and women a top peaks and ridge lines to wait and watch for fire. One of Jim's most recent big fires was in 2018, he was hiking back up to the desolation lookout mid fire season. So I was taking him from my days off I was on a couple of days off and hiking in there. I knew there had been lightning, so I am looking around. And I was actually down fairly low on the trail and through a gap in the trees. I had just happened to see these smokes. Jim saw two plumes of smoke high on a ridge on the other side of the Lake below desolation. He describes the smokes as acting very differently than a cloud. Smokes have a bluish white color and they're not moved by the wind like clouds. They're pushed around by heat, created by the fire below. They're just more of an active animal unto itself. And hard thing to describe. Jim radioed into the park dispatch from the trail to tell them where he thought the fire was on top of a ridge above Arctic creek. Once he made the final push up to the lookout, he confirmed the location with the Osbourne firefinder. And they flew at some hours later, and it was starting to get bigger. And they gave it a name and unfortunately they didn't call it Arctic creek fire, which I thought they would. From the aircraft they said, yep, it's the right where you put it. And so this will be the Arctic gym fire. No. No, you can not do that. And so first did the name stick Arctic Jim? Of course. Yeah, it's on the map. The Arctic gym fire, really? Jim's pinned a picture of the fire on the wall of the lookout. Oh, there's the Arctic gym of August 2018. Got pretty big. It almost got Jim is a humble guy. He seems a bit embarrassed to have had a fire named after him. Doing it this way, using the Osborne to locate fires, hasn't really changed since the 30s, but more and more lookouts like Jim are being replaced with new technology. Although Jem's not afraid or loses job anytime soon, he's been hearing these threats since he first started doing this work in the 70s. You know, you guys are going to be replaced, you're not going to be doing this for very much longer. We're going to have things on the top of the roof to just go. We're not going to need people on the lookout. But technology is changing how fires are being monitored. Weather satellites are now used to monitor potential or ongoing wildfires, even solar powered drones are used to relay crucial information to firefighting crews on the ground. At one point the forest service operated 5000 permanent fire lookouts like this. Now there are only a few hundred left. But Jim provides something that GPS can't. Huge one is that I can talk to people. You know, this is very much even though desolation peak is so remote. Jim still gets frequent visitors to the lookout. People are drawn to the place. You can give the historical perspective on this and you can tell about its history. You can share the technology such as it was in the 1930s and still active. You can give a lot more information about the land about the wildlife about the vegetation and just it's a person. It's a person to tell stories. Like a mountain top ambassador, giving people a better understanding of and respect for the land. And Jim isn't the first person to tell stories from this hilltop. I came to a point where I needed solitude and just stop the machine of thinking and enjoying what they call living. I just wanted to lie in the grass and look at the clouds..

"I wrap it up. Which is nothing to do with the film. It's nothing to do with acting as such. And I've got a feeling you're going to turn around, because you're too young, I think, to remember these. But this is a character based question. I had the reason the history behind it is I had a guy on the show once who was a puppeteer for Jim Henson for 30 years still is actually for 30 years. You know, doing the labyrinth, the Muppets and all that kind of thing. And someone sent a question in. And I was like, you know what? I love that question. I've asked every single person since you're aware of them up it's before I go into the question. Yes, I am aware of the Muppets, yes. Right, that's a good start because there are some people who sit there and don't know who they are. If you could a Muppet created after you. What kind of Muppet would it be? Characterize. Or if there's one out there, you can merge a couple of exist. Like, this is a good question. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I'm calling you a Muppet, but if I could, oh right, yeah, but that's a bad thing. And. If I could be a Muppet, that's a good question. I don't know. I'd be. I would probably, I mean, I would want to be like. One of the Muppets, the Sesame Street mup, or I know this Sesame Street isn't necessarily the same things. The similar thing that a single thing that I grew up on, I always liked I was like the snuffleupagus. I remember that. Was that guy? I feel like I share somewhat similar personality type to that. That weird hairy elephant thing. But in terms of designing designing an original Muppet, you sort of put me on the spot. It's a good idea. I think I would want to be I would want to be related to the snuffleupagus in some way. I think that would be my answer. Maybe his brother or something like that. Look at that. That's a fair enough. That's not too bad. I've had cookie monster I've had animal that everyone likes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hadn't thought about that until you asked her I hadn't even remembered I don't remember the snuffleupagus till you. In my mind. If I was everyone that's great because it just it's everyone's like, well, it kind of thinks about the kind of character you can come out with. Is there anything I know you want to say about your movie or anything that you want to push out that I've not talked about that you just want to say now to people who are watching or listening to this? No, not really. I mean, it's a pretty nutty movie. It's great. We sort of off the wall. So I think that if people watch it just looking for a good time and some laughs, that's all you can really help.

The muppet show created by american puppeteer and filmmaker. Jim henson made its world premiere. On itv's stations throughout the united kingdom taking the form of a vaudeville inspired variety. Show complete with comedic sketches and musical performances. The show introduced audiences to future. Pop culture icons like kermit the frog gonzo miss piggy fosse bear and the swedish chef prior to the show's debut. Henson had made two tv specials featuring the muppets characters for the american broadcasting company or abc. The first special titled the muppets. Valentine show aired in nineteen seventy four and featured sketches riffing on romance in the idea of true love. the second special was an edgier affair and was given the tongue in cheek. Title the muppet show sex and violence it aired in hundred seventy five and use sketches based on the seven deadly sins as a way to parody the vulgarity of contemporary tv however neither special was well received prompting abc and the other american networks to pass on producing the muppet show as a regular series undeterred. Henson took the project abroad to british television. The show's success during its initial two weeks on the air lead. Us networks to rethink their decision and on september twentieth. The show began airing in syndication on. Cbs stations the first episode to air in the uk featured guest host. Joel grey an actor and singer. Best known for his role. As the master of ceremonies in both the broadway and film productions of the musical cabaret for the us premiere episode. The guest host was fellow musical. Star rita moreno. Who would go on to win an emmy for her appearance on the show. Each of the one hundred and twenty episodes of the muppet show's five season run featured a different celebrity host to make the most of their one and only appearance on the show. Guests would frequently request to appear in scenes with their favourite muppet. Miss piggy was said to be the most requested but animal. The drummer for the muppets. House band was a close runner up. Some of the most memorable hosts to grace. The muppet theater. Include julie andrews johnny cash vincent price bernadette peters monty python star. John cleese and sir elton john. Although the is live act premise made it seem like it was filmed before a full studio audience. The lengthy production time for each sequence made that impossible to preserve the illusion. though a laugh track was added. Henson was not a fan of the convention but conceded that it did help the flow of the show. His compromise was to occasionally poke fun at the laugh. Track like in season one. When kermit says that it's up to the laugh track whether the show is funny or not. The muppet show provided breakout roles for zini cast of characters. But for some of them. It wasn't their first appearance. Two decades earlier in nineteen fifty five. Jim henson created the muppets for a five minute. Tv show called sam and friends. It was aired twice a day for six years on an nbc station in washington dc. The show's star. Sam was a humanoid puppet who never achieved lasting fame but kermit. A friend of sam was a different story. Made from ping pong balls in an old coat donated. By henson's mother kermit was not yet a frog. But in abstract lizard like creature who lacked his trademark flippers and pointy collar when salmon friends ceased production. Henson's muppets began making regular appearances on the today show and on late night. Talk shows like the ed sullivan show in nineteen sixty nine kermit and a group of new muppets characters. Joined the first season. Cast of a children's show called sesame street as a career move working on the project. Seemed like a no brainer yet. Henson was reluctant to job speaking to a reporter that year. He explained his hesitation. Saying what i'm against is people thinking that puppets are exclusively for children. We've directed our work mostly towards adults. And historically puppets have often been for adults it's only fairly recently. The puppets have been pushed into strictly children's areas. As a theater form puppetry can do virtually anything thankfully for fans of big bird and friends. The show's co-creator. Joan ganz cooney was able to win over jim henson. She pointed out that. If sesame street did well he'd be able to leverage that success insecure funding for his own projects. She told him. Trust me. jim. It's just around the corner. You're not gonna be stuck in little kitty entertainment in time. Cooney was proven right less than a decade. After sesame street premiered henson was able to launch his own more subversive project. Something we know today as the muppet show. I'm gabe loose..

Apple acquires the full Fraggle Rock collection in first major licensing play
"And here's another interesting apple acquisition if you will. Apparently apple is involved in a reboot of the once popular kids TV Staple Frugal Rock. That's been under development at apple for a while now to be released on Apple. Tv plus it's involving a full partnership with the Jim Henson Company and it makes sense as Netflix's and Disney plus have shown having kids programming is key to getting families to lock into your streaming service. But what is new and potentially interesting because it suggests a strategy shift on. Apple's part is the further news. That apple has also quietly acquired frugal rocks back catalogue. All Ninety six original episodes of the TV show aired between Nineteen Eighty. Three and nineteen eighty. Seven have been quietly made available to stream on Apple. Tv plus so is apple shifting its original strategy of creating original content into a mix strategy of also licensing existing Ip. If so might that be a tall order because I mean since everyone in their mother is investing in streaming plays right now. Why would anyone be willing to part with valuable? Ip that they could leverage to make their own efforts viable quoting the Great Julia Alexander in the verge as Joseph adhaline reported in vulture this week with big studios like Disney Warner media and NBC UNIVERSAL. Quote looking to keep their best and brightest titles for their own streaming platforms. There simply aren't enough great titles around to justify making a play for a traditional library of licensed content instead it makes more sense for apple to look at acquiring full libraries for shows wants to reboot keeping everything in one place makes for a better consumer experience quote so were apple to end up doing a deal for the rights to the James Bond Franchise something which has been buzzed about. Since at least two thousand seventeen the company would also likely try to get the back library of bond films so it could market itself as the home for all things 007 at Elaine wrote apple like all streaming players. Right now is making licensing bets where they make sense. Apple isn't about to try to use NETFLIX's licensing strategy which helped the general entertainment platform catapult into a behemoth for its own gain as apple figures out which properties make the most sense to either resurrects remake or reboot building out. Full collections is also a smart play. Apple isn't calling this a strategy shift but it is one apple. Tv plus launched without any license content and CEO. Tim Cook reiterated at a shareholders meeting in February that Apple. Tv plus wasn't about hosting older series or films specifically saying that's not what Apple TV pluses about cook. Restated that Apple. Tv plus is about original programming and quote. It doesn't feel right for apple to just go out and take a rerun. Cook said now. The caveat seems to be if that original program is based on an older series or movie. It's likely that collection will wind up on Apple.

"I'd never seen the dark crystal <hes> because i mean i i like the the muppets right and i like sesame street but this is only very tangentially related to that in the dark crystal and yeah so it's a jim henson in produced feature film from nineteen eighty two. It's my friend was describing it as like jim henson trying to do a weird puppet version of star wars and the lord of the rings. I guess yeah i feel it yeah. It's like a dark christo was. It's like a dark ethic. Fantasies end to see sort of where you know. Everything is puppets and it's about this world called throb that has been subsumed by darkness because they're crystal. Which is there sort of animating life. Force has been tainted by evil specifically sc cs. Who are these really cool like grossberg bird things who are basically taking the essence out of the other dominant race in the world which is the gulf ling and they at this point can have pretty much killed all the gambling. There's only we think one gulflink left <hes> like the dirtiest thing that you've ever cuss soon. Okay so that's the thing right so i you hate fantasy. I hate fantasy so i've been trying to reconcile why i liked. I liked the the movie okay but i love the show which works as a prequel to the movie where there are lots of guelph ling and the sexiest aren't while they're evil but like the gulling don't know it yet it because they haven't killed all of them yet <hes> but yeah i was like why do i like the so much there's creatures this lore. There's weird made up language. I hate eight lord of the rings type stuff. I don't. I hate game of thrones type stuff but i think it's super. I really like it in that. It's this this very simple and kind of easy to understand setup. Honestly it's like there's one good guy race and one bag. I race and then like okay. I get it like it's not like. There's like oh and then also the still rocky language and the blah blah's and the white walkers and the shit and i'm like yeah. I don't understand this is crap but in this it's just like there's these guys who look kind of cute they have like cute elf ears and they don't look like gross ugly humans like their kilo puppets and then there's is these guys were ugly the funny looking and they're all animal. How do you feel about star wars all the things. I love star wars but that's jess space. That's the other thing. I love space operas but i do not like <hes>. This is so fancy so anything that's like high hi l. the thing i think i was watching what i was saying my friend while we were watching the movie and the show especially the show was this is like a p._g. Would wanna play because i love j. R._p._g.'s to ray so fan which are also fantasy like i love j. R._p._g.'s and honestly i think it comes down to like aesthetic for me like i liked the dark crystal aesthetic just like i like jay r._p._g. Aesthetic because it's like more cartoony it's not like super her <hes> realistic and you're trying to get me to buy that there. Are these like humans with british accents in year eight hundred we should get you to watch the lord of the rings animated made movie from god that he didn't know way. I liked the hobbit one. I watched that in third grade. It was great.

'The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance' makes CGI, puppetry a winning combo
"Light and Kevin car is here to tell us all about the new Netflix movie that dark crystal age of resistance good morning Kevin good morning Michael of the dark crystal age of resistance is a a revitalized series on Netflix if you recall the original the dark crystal was a movie made by the Jim Henson company back in the eighties and it was kind of ground breaking back then because of the use of puppetry to tell a fantasy story which itself is is is quite good and it in this one it's a prequel to the dark crystal. movie that they came out in the eighties in this one tells the story of these creatures that run this does sort of this fantasy world called axes which are the bad guys and they they're sort of like a press of leaders over this this group of creatures called Gulf wings which are basically little elf creatures in the woods and it tells the story of how they got to the point that the movie starts so I I don't want to take too much time to to go into into the weeds about the story but it is about this race of creatures that's basically being oppressed and being led by this group of I guess you see evil creatures that have seized power it's it's a new one to watch it's epic and is beautifully done and it shows that you don't need C. G. R. E. to have your fully realized characters you can still use Muppets at a certain point all right so we can't really afford crystal on this show so I don't know how many light bulbs are we giving the dark crystal age of resistance I'm going to give this one four out of five light bulbs and they're not purple they're bright bright white I thanks Kevin car with your little
Let's Talk Pets
How does a pet get cloned?
"Cloning how does that get cloned so the very first step if you are thinking you might potentially you want to call on your pet Sunday that first step is our genetic preservation service and what that involves is a veterinarian taking a few small skin biopsy samples from your pets and if you're planning in advance and it is best to have these biopsies done while the cat is still alive and healthy so if you're planning in advance it's best to order I biopsy kit and we can ship this biopsy can overnight to the veterinarian or to the client and this biopsy kit has everything that the veterinarian needs to take the samples and to ship them to us at the appropriate temperature so it's just a small four millimeter punch biopsy at the skin so very simple every veterinarian the world is that a punch biopsy before so very easy to do it can be done with the local anesthesia or it can be done under general anesthesia if you are planning in advance in the veterinary purse first to do a general anesthesia then you might consider having this done in conjunction with a dental cleaning something like that where the the dog is already under anesthesia so we have a lot of clients that she used to do it at that time so the the vet takes a biopsy samples very small and very minimally invasive or the pet and would like to have anywhere from to try by an overnight with the return and ex label that included in from these tissues are they going to sell culture and we will grow millions of cells that contain that had DNA and the cells will ultimately be the starting point where the cloning process that is absolutely amazing it really sounds like Jurassic Park so hope is it possible to do Jurassic Park dinosaurs are we just doing cats and dogs I should ask what species can be cloned so there are quite a few species clones Bijan pets was originally part of the company that cloned livestock so cattle pigs goats and sheep have been cloned over the past seventeen years and when we began and by Jim Henson equine we now just clone dogs cats and horses so those are the three species that we clone and weeping cloning courses for about seventeen years and dogs and cats for about almost four years and it's it's going very well the cloning is just growing and growing the more people find out about this and then it's a possibility it's really a growing field with cloning I think a lot of people have concerns and I had a lot of questions because it's not as a topic that was really broached when I was in veterinary school so with cloning I know that Dolly the sheep seem to be healthy land a shorter lifespan than a typical sheep of that particular breed what happens for a dog and a cat is there or horse is there a lifespan basically the same physical issues they have can a brief for instance yes all very good questions so in going back to Dolly the sheep the technique that we use for cloning is essentially very much the same as what was used for Dolly many years ago and it is technically called somatic cell nuclear transfer or S. T. and T. so a somatic cell is any cell in the body that's anything other than a sperm or an egg and for dogs and cats and horses the somatic cells all these are what we grow in the culture from the skin biopsies taken from the pet so that somatic cell is that source at the beginning so that process is essentially the same and how the embryo is made and all of the species is how we use that egg from a donor animal and we removed the nucleus of that egg and we transfer in one of the somatic cells from the skin sample and these agonist cell are now fused together in an embryo starts to grow and then we'll transfer that embryo into the surrogate animal for dogs and cats they're a little bit different than the worst because dogs and cats are litter bearing species so we do transfer multiple embryos into that surrogate mom so is there is that chance that there could be twins or triplets said usually small number of puppies or kittens in the later but that is a chance and usually the clients will take as many as are born in the letter and it's just the one let me go back to your question about the longevity of these animals so Dolly did live a shorter lifespan than normal and so there was speculation at the time twenty two years ago that this was because she was a clone animal there's been a lot of research done on cloned animals and stating their longevity and their health over the years and cloned animals have been shown to live a normal lifespan which is really refreshing for a lot of these pet owners because unfortunately Dolly kind of got a bad rap and because she did let us our lives so it is you know it's the sort of the myths surrounding cloning that cloned animals live a shorter lifespan than an average animal and that's simply not true so cloning animals have been shown to live a normal lifespan and should be just as healthy as the original animal now one question that we do get quite often is let's say you know the the original all dog developed cancer will the cloned dog develop cancer great yes that's comes right on it and the answer is it depends on the cause of that cancer so which we don't veterinarians don't usually no it's not really definitive what the causes of most cancers are but if it was something that was shown to be genetically linked type of disease or illness the net cloned animal is going to have those same genes so that same potential to develop that disease at some point in its life it's not automatically going to develop that disease but that potential is there so sometimes the client can know to watch out for symptoms they may see them earlier and your because they're looking a little more closely for them where there may be some diagnostics that can be done on the Pat to to make sure that this does not developing that disease that the original Pat may have had that should have just the same longevity and health status as the original animal so genetic counseling especially the situation like that because you say are and I have a golden retriever and this golden retriever died of a type of cancer and then she'll star coma but this is just the best dog in the entire world so I want another one just like Goldie and then there is that chance because of the genetic predisposition that the next at could have cancer also said that yes I think it's very important so Mylene you were talking about this genetic preservation that can go on and you'll sometimes have a cloned animal in Sir get that you may have three or four are they obligated to take all the pattern that later and if not what do you do with the other pets and I'm sure people are thinking how many cats and dogs and horses do they have to act to circuits so our litter sizes are usually small just one or two maybe three and puppies or kittens and the letter we did have some larger sizes we had up to five puppies in a litter and this is sort of earlier on in the cloning process when we were at yeah and it's fine tuning in the number of embryos that go into the store get to get the number of puppies or kittens that we're hoping for and most clients will only want just one or maybe two so yeah I can understand work five is a lot to handle so he we do sort of try to treat that but you never know it's kind of like IVF you may end up with twins or triplets and it's just a little bit of a risk that may be there I would say most clients if there are three parties let's say most clients are going to say yes I want every single copy that morning that's completely understandable I know I would end up actually I have my dogs those prisoners I've already talked to my family and that's it okay on my dog Zeus and there's three puppies I'm gonna take one and again my brother you'll take one right and my mother worked I'm gonna give you that so it within my family so I can keep an eye on them and I and that's what most clients will choose to do is is a date they may not keep every single one of them somewhere else but if there's more than they can really take care of it solely on three copies as a lot then they may Debbie does that now I have the claim is not obligated to you take every every cut your kitten that's born with the cloning agreement and they are guaranteed at least one healthy puppy or kitten they're not obligated to take any extra ones there's of course no additional fees for those extra puppies or kittens so in we've had a couple clients that have have said you know I can only take two can you find a good home for these other you know we do have the other ones and we've done that we haven't really get adoption program in the cases that we've done that before those copies of actually been adopted out to you our own employees so it makes it really nice because the the clients can keep tabs on those and they know that the copies went to again how so you have the genetic preservation I want to have the biopsies done small really not painful I agree with you doing little four millimeter biopsies with local anesthesia is so simple you can plan have that preserved how long can you preserve it so if somebody says you know this is really good dog I'm not really sure if I want to do this what's going to be going on later on my life how long can that genetic material be stored and how is it stored I mean I would say most of our clients are are wanting to just preserve the cells are now and it cost is quite a lot where the cloning itself so those clients are just holding on to that DNA we preserve the cells the cells and the cell culture that we do it takes about two to four weeks to complete the culture and then these cells are placed in a crowd files with a crow protected media and they're stored in liquid nitrogen tanks in the cells can be kept stored essentially for ever for decades and we have clients that have stored cells S. for seventeen years and we've actually called a couple of dogs in at least one cat who sells were stored for seventeen years and then they they contest that later on so it's really amazing so essentially forever the cells can be stored there is an annual storage fee for storing cells so they the initial cost of the genetic preservation in sixteen hundred dollars and that includes culturing the cells in the biopsy kit shipment to and from the veterinarian and that also includes the first year of self storage after the first year the annual storage fee is a hundred and fifty dollars per year in the great thing about this is all of the up front fees that the client pays for the preservation and any subsequent storage fees these all get combine an addict gather and then when they decide to clone down the road everything that they've paid to date gets applied toward the cloning so long term clients really like that so I think this is a fascinating way that you're doing this Mullane where you are saving the cells your happiness fee but then you're not being hit with additional fees you know way on top of that because you're paying for a little bit little all the way along that's great now again you are saving the cells it's not embryos because oftentimes we hear about in human medicine where they're saving this genetic material but you're actually saving embryos is that correct that's right for the genetic preservation work we haven't created the embryos just yet they're actually for pets there is not been a technique developed to be able to freeze embryos we can do that and horses so because we've been cloning horses for so long we have improved the technique and initially there was when we first started doing this there was no process available to successfully resent all embryos for horses but now we've developed these techniques we have some of the top cloning scientist in the world on staff your just amazing and so for horses that is our standard thing that we do with the cloning is we we create the cloned embryos and then they are frozen and then they can be shipped and in transferred into their reset mayor at that point but for dog and cat it has to be a fresh embryo so we don't create embryos just yet we just up from genetic preservation we're just simply producing the
Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist
Showtime's 'The Loudest Voice' Tells The True Story Of The Downfall Of Roger Ailes At Fox News
"The loudest voice. It's the new Showtime miniseries. Stories about the rise and fall of Fox News and particularly of Roger Ailes, the infamous founder of Fox News. Seth plays a character real life character named Brian Lewis. He was the head of public relations at FOX for many years. He came with Roger Ailes from CNBC when Roger was launching, Fox News. And he was most people would tell you the right hand of Roger Ailes. He was the pit bull. He guarded the company's internal business for Roche ously could be very tough with reporters obviously, but also anybody who tried to crack into the Fox News bubble. I think you'll be interested to hear Sestri bestirred drawing when he was two years old. He wrote a letter to Jim Henson studios when he was nine years old announcing that he was going to be a puppeteer and a cartoonist a kid who kind of knew what he wanted to be from the age of two and, you know, he gets into how do you do that? You have the dream when you're a kid, you move onto the Rhode Island school of design as he did. And. He was hired right away. They recognize his talent out to Hollywood worked on an animated show for a couple years before, again, when he was twenty four years old. He started family guy, which, by the way was cancelled twice was, not an immediate hit, I think people forget that. So to set the scene for you Seth and I got together at cafe. Carlyle at the famed Carlyle hotel in New York City. The cafe Carlyle is a jazz club. Seth has performed there a couple times because on top of everything else begin things that are scary. He sings in public. He's got five albums, including his latest once in a while, and he's been nominated for four Grammy award. So I got him to sit down at the piano, we got him to play a little bit sing a little bit. Do the thing that Seth MacFarlane does, but mostly to walk through fascinating life in fascinating career where the guy just does something different and surprises people all the time, a great conversation with Seth MacFarlane. We start by talking about the loudest voice, the series on Showtime. About Fox News. Thanks for doing this man for sure. So we've already gotten I think halfway through the show already we'll will start for the benefit of the viewers again. Yeah. I want to start with your character before we talk big picture, because I don't think most people know who he is. In fact, I know most people don't know, who is if you don't live in our media world Brian Lewis, who was he. And why is it important character in this big story, Brian Lewis was Roger Ailes PR chief for Fox News? And he also sort of functioned as his right hand man, and a lot of ways you know, this, this was the guy that Roger would blow off steam, too. And, and also the guy who was comfortable enough keeping keeping them in line when he may be got a little too off the rails. And, you know, according to the to Gabe chairman's book, and according to the series, he was also a guy was who was kind of on the outside of the. Emotional end of things. He was he was he was a democrat. Chocking way, working for Fox News. But more importantly, he was kind of a gun for hire. He was there because, you know, it was a good job and the ethics of it didn't really come into play. It was about, you know, being Boba fett. I guess. Liberal hire me, then he's a bounty hunter. So how did he to the extent? You got inside his head by reading the book. How did he reconcile knowing what he was doing was often wrong unethical? Yes. Doing the job. Well, I mean according to the material that I read that he, he at the end of the day he was. He could compartmentalize, he could put his family over here and his job over here, and essentially be two different people. But at a certain point. You know, he he idolized ales for a long time, and he really respected ails, as a marketer. And as as a as a promoter of whatever it was he wanted to promote. And he, I guess must have started to see him unraveling a little bit. And. It was probably a combination of genuine concern. Because there seemed to be a conscience there. And, and professional concern that, okay, I worked for this guy this reflects on me and, and he's starting to come apart at the seams.
