### Amygdala, Fear Genes and GPS Memory Loss

New research from UC Davis suggests that fear responses are determined by specific gene clusters in the amygdala rather than its overall size. Another study indicates that heavy reliance on GPS navigation can weaken the parts of the brain responsible for memory and spatial orientation. The segment advises listeners to "put the phone in a drawer" to maintain cognitive health.

A report from UC Davis discusses the transmission of COVID-19 from humans to domestic pets, particularly cats. While most animals show mild symptoms, the hosts suggest this narrative is a precursor to marketing COVID-19 vaccines for pets. They joke about the public's likely outrage if the government begins mandating shots for dogs and cats.

The hosts continue reviewing the UC Davis language guide, focusing on myths about bisexuality and the prohibition of phrases like "you guys" or "fat ass."

Tucker Carlson interviewed Tammy Bruce regarding a controversy at UC Davis where the student body voted to remove the American flag from their meeting room. The hosts critique Carlson's interview style, which they describe as a "one-trick pony" formula involving a specific facial expression and repetitive questioning.

A UC Davis study claims that regular marijuana use leads to lower-paying jobs and relationship problems, based on data following participants in New Zealand. Dvorak dismisses the report as a "scam" funded to prevent legalization in California.

A study from the University of California, Davis, found that drug and bomb-sniffing dogs have an 85% failure rate when their handlers are misled into thinking contraband is present. The researchers concluded that the dogs are often influenced by their handlers' cues rather than actual scents, calling into question the legal reliability of canine alerts.

A Syrian defector claims the regime has already used "light chemical weapons" against its people, which the hosts equate to tear gas or pepper spray. They compare this to the use of pepper spray by US police against students at UC Davis, arguing that by the media's own definition, the US government uses chemical weapons on its own citizens.
