  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Thursday morning, twenty fourth day of July. I'm Wes. Thanks
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: for joining me. I finally watched the New Superman movie.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: A couple of thoughts. First, of all, movies not bad.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: The people saying it's bad, it's a stinker. It's not bad.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: It's really not. It's not great either. Let's be honest.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: There's people that want it to be the most amazing
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: thing ever. It's fun, it's good. It's as good as
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: you know, I would say most of the mid level,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: maybe even upper mid level Marvel movies. It's not elite.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: It's not among the best superhero movies ever made by
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: any means. But it's not bad. It's just it's a
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Superman movie. It's made by the guy who made Guardians
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: of the Galaxy. It's kind of what you expect, right.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of comedy. There is, you know, a
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: blend of superheroes in the movie, not necessarily all ones
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: that the average person in public would have heard of.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I knew them, but not everybody knows them. They were there,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and he did a fine job of working them all
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: into the story. A different version of the Green Lantern
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: than most people are familiar with, but he was great,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: one of the standouts in the movie. It was fine.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: The people who were freaking out about it and telling
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: us that this was some woke messaging that was interlaced
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: with it. Nothing jumped out at me. There were a
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: couple moments. There were a couple of things in there
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: that you kind of go eh, all right. They used
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the word alien a lot. I didn't take that to
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: be some kind of symbolism for anything there was. If
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: that was the messaging they missed, it was a big
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: swing and a miss. If they were trying to push
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: some kind of illegal alien message that was supposed to
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: change our views on people who snuck into the country.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was nothing more than what we've seen
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: before with conversations about Lex Luthor calling Superman an alien.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: That's all. That's all it was. I would say that
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: there have actually been other representations where they went closer
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: to trying to make it into something a story about
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: illegal aliens. It just wasn't there. I don't know what
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: people were watching. I don't know if they just heard
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: that you know there was a chance of it, but
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: sure they've dropped the truth justice in the American way
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: that was gone a long time ago. That wasn't dropped
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: for this movie. I don't know that any of that
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: slogan was anywhere in the movie, So I think that's
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: also a bit of overhyp But for people to say
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: it was great, come on, it wasn't. It was. It
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: was fun, it was okay, it wasn't great. It wasn't outstanding.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: It wasn't anything close to what we've seen in these
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: upper level movies. It wasn't. It was fine, though. It's
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: a good time, good time at the movies. We got
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the new Fantastic Four movie getting ready to come out,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: so this is a good time for you know, superhero movies.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I like the idea that we're gonna get a Fantastic
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Four kind of set in the time for the Fantastic Four.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I guess it's a different universe, but we know this
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: is all coming together for whatever the next Marvel phase
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: is with everything. But I like the Fantastic Four that
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: we're you know, trying to beat the Russians to space
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: and all that. I like that. I like that, So yeah,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: it'll be another option for you coming up this weekend.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: So you got that new movie. But Superman was fine.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: It wasn't great, it wasn't terrible. It was above average.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: It was good. It was a good time. I laughed
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: a few times. I loved Crypto. You know, anytime you
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: can get the I can get a dog in a
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: movie and the dog doesn't die. I just sorry if
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: that counts as a spoiler, But I don't think it's
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: a spoiler. He's a super dog. I don't think there's
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: any spoiler to that. If you're expecting to watch the
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: movie and see Crypto die and you were hoping for it,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I've just spoiled it for you. But anytime you get
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: a movie that's got a dog in it and the
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: dog doesn't die, I'm usually pretty happy with that. You know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the movie is not that great. I just I don't
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: need to see any more movies where the dog dies
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: unless I'm just it's that day that comes about every
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: ten years where I go, man, I need a good cry.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: And if that's the case, you know, put in my
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: dog's skip or whatever. Just put it in. I can't
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I never, I can't do that one. I'm a Jack
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Russell guy, I can't. That's one that I can't watch,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: not at all. It's fine. There's really no like big, nasty,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: mean message in it. If there was, I didn't catch it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: If you felt differently, I'd love to hear from you.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I just I don't know that there's really that message
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: there that we've been told. This boogeyman that we've told
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: is there. So all right, let's go to the story.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Hunter Biden, I guess did an interview on a podcast,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: and I don't know. I mean, I guess I can
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: understand why if you're hosting a show and you think, hey,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I want to get Hunter Biden on. I suppose this
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: is it worked. He gave them plenty of content, plenty
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: of things for them to put on the show, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: plenty of stuff for people like me and news outlets
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: to talk about. But one of the things that I
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: think got missed in what he was talking about was
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: remember it. Do you remember when the infamous debate came up?
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: We had the debate that ultimately tanked Biden's campaign. We
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: all knew he wasn't ready for a debate. Everybody knew it.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: His people had to know he wasn't ready for it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I believe they were given an option to do the
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: debate at like seven o'clock. Eight o'clock, I know was
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: an option, but I think they even gave them the
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: option of doing it at seven, and the Biden camp said, no, No,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: nine o'clock is fine, we'll do it at nine. I
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: don't know if they were worried about optics, about if
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: we do it it's seven, it's going to like we
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: asked for it to be at seven, and which, honestly,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the media would have carried the water for him anyway.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: But there was already this conversation and talk about how
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Biden couldn't stay up late. He didn't do anything after
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: four o'clock every day. That basically eleven to four I
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: think was the window of time when he could really
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: be counted on to do anything, or ten to four
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: with a nap somewhere in there, which I'm not knocking
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: him for the nap. Let's be honest, you get up.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I'm already at a point where I could stand to
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: have like a ten minute nap every day anyway, just
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: a short, little power nap. Anything longer than that I'm cranky,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: So ten maybe twenty minutes, that's my Max. I can't
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: knock him for wanting to take a nap. I think
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: they should all take a nap, especially when there's at
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: any given moment, you could be up at three in
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the morning ordering you know, bunker Busters to go somewhere.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: That's always a possibility that's there, and worse, so many
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: worse things that they could be up having to do
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: at any given moment. So I'm not knocking the nap.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I'm knocking the fact that it seems that apparently he
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: was doing, you know, maybe like four or five hours
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: of available time every day as president, and then vacationing
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: three or four days every weekend, always at the beach,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: riding a bike, falling down, whatever he was doing, looking
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: real pale. Again, not knocking him for it. I have
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: my pale moments, probably have many many pale moments once
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I get into my eighties. I just assume. So anyway,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: so there was already that talk can't do it early
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: than that, we have to do this thing at nine o'clock.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: It's get in prime time, all right. Trump was ready.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: We knew Trump was going to be fired up and ready.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: This debate he'd been waiting on since losing in twenty twenty.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: He was ready. He came in ready to swing, and
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: then the debate started and we saw what happened. It
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: was a complete disaster. But before the debate happened, there
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: was conversation about from the Trump campaign. They were asking,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: can we do a drug test? Both of us do
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: a drug test? Because I think there was at least
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: a hint a suggestion that there was a concern that
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Biden's cognition, problems, his energy level, all of those things
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: would somehow be defeated by putting him on some kind
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: of drug. I don't know what the drug was going
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: to be. I don't know if he was going to
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: come out all narked up. I don't know what they
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: were thinking. Was he going to come out coked up
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: and you know, just all over the place. I don't know.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the thought was. Or maybe it
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: was just a word game. Maybe this was just kind
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: of planning that seed of like, maybe he'll be on drugs.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's how if he's got any energy, because we
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: know he doesn't have energy. Is he going to be overcaffeinated?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Is he going to slam like ten red bulls and
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: come out here and trutt a debate probably could have
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: stood to have a couple of red bulls. But and
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the Biden administration thought that was ridiculous. They thought it
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: was absolutely ridiculous that anybody would even ask whether or
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: not there should be some kind of a drug screening.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: And the quote from a Biden spokesperson, Donald Trump is
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: so scared of being held accountable for his toxic agenda
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: of attacking reproductive freedom and cutting social security that he
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: and his allies are resorting to desperate, obviously false slies. Okay.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: So then they were pressed again, well what do you
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: think about it? And they said, that was my answer.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: It said, the accusation from Trump on drugs is a desperate,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: obviously false lie. Okay, So back to the and skip ahead,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: skip ahead now to like a year later, and let's
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: talk about the Hunter Biden interview. And in this interview,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: the discussion came up about the debate, and Hunter Biden said, basically,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: in this interview, he said, I know exactly what happened
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: in that debate. He flew around the world, basically the
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: mileage that he could have flown around the world three times.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: He's eighty one years old, he's tired, as pooh pooh,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: that's what he said. He didn't say poop for them.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: He says they give him ambient to help him sleep.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: He gets up on the stage and he looks like
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: he's a deer in the headlights. And it feeds into
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: every blinking story that anybody wants to tell. Uh, ambient, Okay,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: they were giving him ambient. Now that is something that
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: people take. You know, maybe if you've got insomnia, right,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: so wouldn't have been something that could have been deemed
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: as a performance enhancer. But if he had taken some
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: kind of a drug test, I guess the question might
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: have come up, Well, why was he taking an ambient?
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Why were they giving him? Who was forced feeding him ambient?
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: They make he makes it sound like they're just choking.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: You know, take this, old man, you're not sleeping enough.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Take this. What were they giving him ambient for? And
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: wouldn't this have showed up on this drug test? And
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: for people to say, oh, there's no reason for it's
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: ridiculous to say that he would be taking drugs. I
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: got another question. It's not just the obvious, now lie
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: about the drug test. I got another question for you,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: And I think it's a fair question to ask, who's
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: giving him ambient? Whose decision was that? It doesn't say
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: that he was asking for it, didn't say that he
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: felt he needed ambient. That's not what was said. What
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: he said is they give him ambient to help him
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: to be able to sleep. If he's only working five
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: hours a day and sleeping the rest of the time
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: and unavailable, who's giving him ambient? Is this tie into
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: those questions that we had just a month ago about
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: the auto pen and who was signing what and this
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: possibility of elder abuse. See, if you got somebody in
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: your life who's eighty plus years old and you're trying
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: to do things on their behalf and you don't want
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: them really involved, maybe you would give him some kind
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: of a heavy sedative and force it on him. Here,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: take this, go to bed, old man. We'll take care
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: of all the paperwork. You just go to bed, take
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: your pill, and go to sleep. Is that what was
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: going on was why was he being given ambient? Maybe
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: we'd like to know this, as the American people, who
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: already feel like we got very short changed on this president,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I think we deserve to know who decided to give
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: him ambient? Was it his call sounded like In the interview,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Hunter Biden didn't seem to like it. I wouldn't have
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: somebody's force feeding pills to my dad to make him
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: sleep so he'll stay out of their way and let
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: him run the country. Sounds like a problem. Sounds like
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: a problem for the entire country, not just for his son,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: not just for his immediate family. Sounds to me like
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: it could. I'm not making the accusation. I'm just asking
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the question that it could fall into the category of
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: elder abuse. I mean, think about it. If someone we're
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: doing this to, it's just a famous actor. We've had
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: cases with famous actors or celebrities where their families have
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: apparently taken advantage of them. We've heard all these stories
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: about a number of celebrities that this has happened to.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: And that's just the celebrities. We hear about them because
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: they're famous. It happens apparently all the time. It happens
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: a lot to just average people, but we don't hear
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: about that. What we hear about is what it happens
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: to famous people. Given somebody a pill to keep them
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: out of the way, I mean, that would be elder abuse,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: especially if you're using it to take advantage of the
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: power that he has and that you now have because
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: you have the ability to sign papers in his name.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Take your pill and go take a nap, Joe, take
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: your pill and go watch Mattlock go fit the sleepy
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Joe name that Trump gave you.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Go.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Just take your ambient, get out of the way. There
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: was all this talk about them referring to him as
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: their zombie president and they were able to just do
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: whatever they wanted to do. All those accusations seems like
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: it could fall under that right. But at the very least,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I want to know who's giving him ambient. Whose decision
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: was that did he want ambien? Did he have insomnia problems?
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Because if he was sleeping nineteen hours a day, I
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: mean that's getting close to Koala numbers. You probably don't
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: need ambient. If anything, maybe you just need a cup
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: of coffee in a cold shower and get back to work.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Today show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Hey everyone, this is doctor Sean Crusin. I'm the executive
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: director of Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: I want to tell you about a very special exhibit
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: that we have on display the summer. It's so big
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: that it can't even fit in our own exhibit gallery.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: It's just too many pieces. This is a collection of
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: items from the personal collection of astronaut David R.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Scott.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Dave Scott flew on Gemini eight with Neil Armstrong. He
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: flew on Apollo nine, a dress rehearsal for the moon landing,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: and then most importantly perhaps he commanded Apollo fifteen, where
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: he became the first person to ever drive a car on.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: The service of the Moon.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Because Dave's brother, Tom lived and worked here in Columbus,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Georgia with our Columbus Chamber of Commerce, we got to
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: be good friends with Tom. Tom has coordinated a very
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: generous donation of artifacts and memorabilia from the Scott Brothers
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: collection to us here at Coca Cola Space Science Center.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: And again, election got so overwhelmingly large we couldn't put
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: it on display here. That's why we're doing the exhibit
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: at the bul Bartlet Center. They are open from eleven
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: am to four pm Tuesday through Saturday. Go down and
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: check out this great exhibit on display at the bul
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Bartlet Center, check out all the other wonderful pieces of
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: arn't work down there as well, and then come visit
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: us here at Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of square in that
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: away for you, and while they're there, you can always
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: man cavid, you'd like to be able to open the
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: And they do those as well. Seven oh six or
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: five eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: eight forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show right after the break. According to a
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: new study, America's sports betting boom is coming with some
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: serious side effects that go with it, as gambling spending
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: has surged three hundred and sixty nine percent, with irresponsible
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: betting up three hundred and seventy two percent. What a shocker.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Who could have possibly seen this problem coming? As they
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: advertise all the gambling sites while you're watching sports. Since
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: gambling has been legalized. This all has been side effects
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: to come with it. While thirty eight states are ranking
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: in tax revenue and social costs like increased alcohol use
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: and helpline calls are starting to pile up, especially with
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: people betting beyond their means. Again, who could have seen
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: that coming. Sorry, I'm not a big fan of the
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: gambling on sports. Just don't like it. I understand there's
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: a lot of a there's opportunities for people to tax
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: it and make money and whatever they're trying to do,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: but it's ruining the sports man. It's ruining it all right.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Just taking a look at fast food restaurants and some
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: number crunchers at World Atlas decided to take a look
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: at the menus of fast food restaurants to figure out
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: which ones were the least healthy and the big winner
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: or loser, depending on your perspective. Was Wendy's the triple
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: baconator meal when paired with fries and a frosty twenty
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: twenty one hundred and sixty calories in that meal. Yeah,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: that's a lot, I mean over the daily for most
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: right Sonic they have that forty four ounce Reese's Peanut
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: butter cup Master Shake that's pretty dangerous. A lot of
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: calories there. Taco bells, loaded burritos and combos loaded with
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: calories and sodium, dairyween blizzards and fried combo baskets can
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: push one meal above two thousand calories KFC's breaded chicken,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: which of course is deep pride in oil. So there
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: is the calorie price to pay with that. So keep
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: that in mind, you know, just keep it. If you're
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: eating a meal that's all of your daily calories, you
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: just got to be really careful, that's all. A new
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: massive drone named sky Dweller has been unveiled, and it
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: has the ability to fly for ninety days without landing.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: It's got seventeen thousand solar cells spread across a wingspan
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: wider than a Boeing seven forty seven. The thing was
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: designed for surveillance, and it also is equipped with an
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: AI system with self healing codes that allows it to
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: fix software issues while still in the air. Engineers behind
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: the project aren't done, though. They continue to tweak the
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: design and the hardware with hopes of keeping sky Dweller
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: in the air for even more than three months. All
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: of this is coming will be longer and longer and longer,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: until eventually they never have to come down, and then
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: they decide that we will now start raining bombs on
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: all the people down below, and we will take over
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: the world. That's where it's headed eventually, right, or you
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: know Mars. I mean, we've already had one on Mars.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: We had one on Mars. That can just stay up
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: like that, but eventually it's coming, right. A new study
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: from the website smile Hub ranked all fifty states for
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: sports lovers. They looked at stuff like the number of
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: professional teams, sports related jobs, fan engagement, among seventeen other factors,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: and Ohio tops the list, followed by New York, Illinois, California,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: and then Indiana rounding out the top five. Hawaii was
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: deemed to be the worst state for sports fans, followed
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: by Alaska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Idaho. I don't think
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: there's any big surprises in any of those lists, honestly,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean, I understand if you want to
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: talk college football some you know, I mean, you got
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Ohio state obviously represented there, but let's be honest, got
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: to get it into the South if you want to
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: get serious. Just saying college basketball represented there with some
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: of those schools like so of states like Indiana with
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: schools there. But anyway, all right. For years, jeep owners
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: been placing rubber ducks on their jeeps on the dash,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: called jeep ducking, and it promotes a sense of community
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: with people who drive and love jeeps. There's another trend
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: that's starting to gain steam though, that involves Subaru owners.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Instead of sharing rubber ducks, people participating in Mumo Subaru
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: share tiny toy cows and pun filled notes. Both of
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: these trends are just part of the car culture, which
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: might be fun. If not, you'll have to avoid jeeps
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: and subarous because it seems you can't really avoid the
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: fellow owners of those vehicles, and they're probably going to
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: give you some of those things, and eventually you're probably
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: gonna cave in. Just what happens. Eventually peer pressure gets
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: you and you're stuck with ducks and cows on your dash.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Thursday edition of the show.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
• 24:16

  Speaker 2: fiction sometimes leads to science science sometimes leads to science fiction.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: It's just a weird connection that's already there. It's built

• 26:33
