WEBVTT 00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.310 What's up, sunshine? Welcome to CNN 10, 00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:16.230 the best 10 minutes in news because of 00:00:16.240 --> 00:00:18.390 you. I'm your news dude, Coy Wire, and I 00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:20.070 have a lot to tell you about. Not a lot 00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:22.310 of time to do it, so let's get to it. 00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:24.230 Ever hear those famous lyrics, you like 00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:26.310 potato, I like potato, you like tomato, 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:29.029 I like tomato. Turns out those two foods 00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.109 may be way more connected than just a 00:00:31.119 --> 00:00:33.270 classic Ella Fitzgerald song. A team of 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.830 biologists and genomic scientists have 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:37.750 discovered where potatoes come from, 00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:39.750 tracing its origins to a chance 00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:41.910 encounter with a tomato millions of 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:44.470 years ago. CNN's Ashley Strickland has 00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:46.389 today's Did You Know? 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:48.709 >> Did you know the potato's origins began 00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.270 with tomatoes? This inner species love 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:52.950 story occurred about 9 million years 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:54.790 ago. According to research published in 00:00:54.800 --> 00:00:56.709 the journal of cell, the humble potato 00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:58.310 is the result of an ancient genetic 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.150 mashup between a wild tomato and a 00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:02.389 tuberous plant called euberosum in South 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:02.950 America. 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:04.549 >> And it was only when those two are 00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:06.310 together that you get this tuber 00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:07.030 creation. 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:08.789 >> This surprise hybrid inherited the 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.190 perfect combo. A gene from the tomato 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.109 that tells it when to make tubers, a 00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:14.870 plant part that stores nutrients, and 00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:17.429 one from each roum that tells it how. 00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.590 The result, a brand new plant that could 00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:21.749 grow underground food, survive cold 00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:23.830 climates, and reproduce without seeds. 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:25.670 Perfect for life in the Andes Mountains, 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:27.429 where potatoes were first domesticated 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.830 some 7 to 10,000 years ago. That 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:31.749 evolutionary jackpot led to the more 00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:33.990 than 100 wild potato species that we 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.069 know today, and eventually to the fries 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.710 on your plate with a side of tomato DNA. 00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:39.910 >> Everybody says, "Well, potatoes and 00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:41.190 tomatoes have nothing to do with one 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:42.550 another." But actually, if you look at 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.870 the plants themselves, you can see start 00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:46.870 to see lots and lots of similarities. 00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:49.350 Now we know why potatoes and tomatoes go 00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:50.870 so well together. 00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:52.710 >> This next story is welcome news for 00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:55.109 anybody who hates goodbyes. Because the 00:01:55.119 --> 00:01:57.429 TSA is bringing back something from what 00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.910 it calls the golden age of travel. Young 00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:01.590 people gather around. Once upon a time 00:02:01.600 --> 00:02:03.429 you could go through airport security 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.990 without a plane ticket. Wild, right? 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.670 Friends and family could walk all the 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:09.669 way to your gate, wave goodbye as you 00:02:09.679 --> 00:02:11.910 boarded, or be right there waiting when 00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:14.150 you came home. That largely ended after 00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:16.550 the September 11th attacks. But now a 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.510 version of it is coming back. The TSA is 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:21.430 rolling out a free program called 00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:25.270 Gateside by TSA Pre-Check at 13 airports 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.589 across the country. Eligible TSA 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:29.750 PreCheck members can apply to enter the 00:02:29.760 --> 00:02:32.309 secure side of the airport without a 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.190 ticket to say goodbye, say welcome home, 00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:38.150 or even meet somebody during a layover. 00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:40.309 You have to apply online one to three 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:42.550 days beforehand. And if you're approved, 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:44.949 your pass is good for that calendar day. 00:02:44.959 --> 00:02:47.030 More airports are expected to join in 00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:49.190 the coming months. So, airport goodbyes 00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:51.589 are getting an extended runway and 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.190 long-distance lovers everywhere just 00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:55.990 said love is in the airport. Sorry, had 00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.670 to 00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:59.750 pop quiz shot. Long before it was 00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:01.509 acquired by Disney, which famous 00:03:01.519 --> 00:03:04.470 filmmaker owned Pixar? Steven Spielberg, 00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:06.550 George Lucas, James Cameron, or Tim 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:10.390 Burton? 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.550 If you said George Lucas, wise like 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.869 Yoda, you are. Pixar began as the 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:16.710 computer graphics division of Lucas 00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:20.149 Film. In 1986, Apple's Steve Jobs bought 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.470 the division and named it Pixar. And in 00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:25.030 2006, Disney acquired the animated film 00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:29.589 giant for about 7.4 billion bucks. 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.509 What do cowboys, space rangers, and 00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:33.910 sports cars all have in common? Turns 00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:35.670 out they're part of a one-of-a-kind 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:37.670 collaboration proving that with enough 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.710 dedication, camaraderie, and ingenuity, 00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:43.670 you can take creativity to infinity and 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.869 beyond. Toy Story 5 dominated the box 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.910 offices this summer as Jesse, Woody, and 00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:52.070 Buzz returned to the big screen for the 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.110 storied franchise's latest installment. 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.869 And to celebrate their new adventure, 00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.270 Pixar teamed up with Porsche to bring 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.350 them to life in a way you simply have to 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.390 see to believe. The result, three 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.350 one-of-a-kind iconic 911s, each 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:09.750 customdesigned to embody the essence of 00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:12.710 the iconic trio. But the amazing end 00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:15.910 result is only part of the story. Every 00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:18.229 single detail, from cuttingedge paint 00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:21.189 jobs to one-of-a-kind interiors, even 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:23.510 custom light-year tires were part of a 00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:26.390 monthslong globe spanning collab. 00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:29.189 animators, project managers, designers, 00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.350 and engineers, all coming together to 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.350 help create a final product that'll make 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.510 you want to shout, "There's a snake in 00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:37.670 my boots." We got the chance to speak 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:39.430 with the bright minds behind the 00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:41.430 collaboration to learn how the cars went 00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:44.629 from ideas to real life works of art. 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.430 >> It's all about emotions. And there is 00:04:47.440 --> 00:04:49.350 one thing both worlds have in common. 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.030 Um, our custom Sund cars and the Pixar 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.670 film characters both begin with an idea. 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:57.990 Uh the design teams in both worlds, they 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.150 visualize characters. And in this 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.710 special project with Pixar, uh we 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:04.550 translated the Pixar characters into 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:07.270 three sports cars. For a project this 00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:09.830 ambitious with cars and characters this 00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:11.909 iconic, you'd better go right to the 00:05:11.919 --> 00:05:13.990 source. And nobody knows Toy Story 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.629 better than Pixar's Bob Paulie. 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.029 Pauliey's Toy Story roots run deep. Real 00:05:19.039 --> 00:05:21.510 deep. Think designed to buzz lightyear 00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:23.590 deep. Now Paulie's helping bring his 00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:25.189 creations from the big screen to the 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.830 racetrack as part of this project. 00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:29.270 >> Here's Jesse. There's some pictures of 00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:32.230 Jesse, right? You know, red, the hair, 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.150 the uh the outfit. So, we want to get 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.150 those visual elements in there. The 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:37.749 other aspect of it is really the 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:39.430 character, the personality. 00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:41.830 >> Now, when you had this design team from 00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:44.230 Pixar, design teams from Porsche coming 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.710 together, did you feel there was any um 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:48.870 learning or teaching involved between 00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:51.990 the two teams? It's funny how cars and 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:53.590 the movie, they kind of overlap in terms 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.230 of the how they're created. It starts 00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.629 with two good stories or ideas, right? 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.790 And then somebody's doing drawings, 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:02.950 designers doing drawings and sketches. 00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:04.469 And then it gets in our case story 00:06:04.479 --> 00:06:08.070 boards and in in Porsche's guess case, I 00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:09.909 guess starting to work with engineering. 00:06:09.919 --> 00:06:12.070 >> The concept for Buzz Lightyear for the 00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:15.670 GT3 RS was the one which was most clear 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.830 from the beginning. Pixar is famous for 00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:19.990 Easter eggs, tiny little details and 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.150 homages hidden throughout their movies. 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.150 And these cars are no exception. 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.790 >> I love the emblem. It's on the headliner 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.390 of the Buzz Lightyear wings and the 00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:30.870 rocket. That's pretty outstanding. But 00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:33.270 then the tires themselves and you know 00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:37.749 tires. It has lightyear and it has so 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.070 many cool details in it. The me main 00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:41.830 mere fact that they made these tires is 00:06:41.840 --> 00:06:43.270 pretty amazing. So for Woody, the 00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:46.150 designer actually imprinted GAN fabric 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:47.189 onto the paint. 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:48.790 >> With Street Legal Cars, we find 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.110 ourselves in a completely different 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.590 world to that of animated films. 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.830 >> Mr. Polly always knew he wanted to be an 00:06:55.840 --> 00:06:57.670 artist, but sometimes chasing your 00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:59.830 dreams is far from a straight line. The 00:06:59.840 --> 00:07:01.670 path to success can be bumpier than 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.270 hitching a ride on a Pizza Planet 00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:05.510 delivery truck. So what's his advice for 00:07:05.520 --> 00:07:07.350 the next generation of engineers, 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:09.990 animators, and creative trailblazers? 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:11.830 >> I always knew I wanted to draw. I love 00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:14.230 drawing. I want to be in art design. And 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.150 I had parents that were very supportive. 00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:18.870 If you find work that is kind of your 00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:20.790 joy or what you like doing, it's not 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.430 work. It's it's what you want to do. You 00:07:23.440 --> 00:07:26.710 know, if I I um don't tell anybody, but 00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:28.550 I'd almost work for free here, okay? 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.550 Because it's so much fun. I like doing 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.469 this. And while I couldn't take this 00:07:32.479 --> 00:07:34.950 exact spaceship for a spin because all 00:07:34.960 --> 00:07:36.629 the cars were sold to raise money for 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.870 charity, I got to go to Infinity and 00:07:38.880 --> 00:07:45.350 Beyond in another 911 GTS. Oh my god. 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.990 >> This is Garrett. And Garrett took my 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.309 driving skills to a whole new level. 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:51.670 This is kind of weird. It's going to be 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:53.430 a lot of unlearning good highway habits 00:07:53.440 --> 00:07:55.589 when it comes to track driving. You see 00:07:55.599 --> 00:07:57.270 how the hands kind of drift in a little 00:07:57.280 --> 00:07:57.749 bit more? 00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:59.670 >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That changes 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:00.790 everything. 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:02.710 >> As you start to unwind the hands, you 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:03.990 can start to add power at the same rate 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:11.270 that you unwind the hands here. 00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:22.070 >> Oh, baby. 00:08:22.080 --> 00:08:27.909 >> Get up. Get up. 00:08:27.919 --> 00:08:31.430 about 00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:35.029 Louis Hamilton coming your maintain a 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:36.149 little bit of power here. You don't want 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:44.949 to add it to the hand. 00:08:44.959 --> 00:08:49.110 >> Just add a little bit of power. 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.190 >> You can feel it, right?
