- 0:54Speaker 2: a weekend romantic getaway and you're gonna go to Camp
- 0:58Speaker 2: Crystal Lake, yeah, probably be concerned. I advise against that

- 1:08Speaker 2: you have that plan, cancel that, you know, or at
- 1:12Speaker 2: least maybe go tomorrow. Don't don't go today, go tomorrow.
- 1:16Speaker 2: I don't know what the rules are. I wouldn't go
- 1:18Speaker 2: to camp. Crystal Lake anyway doesn't seem like a good plant.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Do we still have.
- 1:24Speaker 2: I don't even know what the PC term for it
- 1:26Speaker 2: is now a living facility an area. We used to
- 1:32Speaker 2: call it a trailer park. I don't know if that's
- 1:33Speaker 2: what you're allowed to call it anymore. It's a place
- 1:35Speaker 2: where trailers all Do we still have one of those?
- 1:38Speaker 2: Crystal Lake? I wouldn't live there either, I would, I
- 1:42Speaker 2: would maybe maybe then you want to go on a
- 1:44Speaker 2: vacation this weekend, at least for today. You don't want
- 1:48Speaker 2: to be there, you know, and maybe you're watching Olympic hockey.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Things could get scary, is what I'm saying. This Friday,
- 1:55Speaker 2: the thirteenth. But other than that, it's also Valentine's Day weekend.
- 2:02Speaker 2: So I'll just say this, just laying it all out there,
- 2:06Speaker 2: and you might be able to hear it in my
- 2:07Speaker 2: voice now.
- 2:08Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 2:08Speaker 2: But we are now four for four in the Carroll
- 2:10Speaker 2: House for sickness. Jake missing his fourth day of school
- 2:16Speaker 2: yesterday for the week. Yeah, just had the crud all week,
- 2:21Speaker 2: just the crud. So he missed the whole week. Because
- 2:25Speaker 2: today is a holiday for our school district, Luke missed
- 2:30Speaker 2: almost three days. He went on Tuesday and then called
- 2:35Speaker 2: and said, I got to come home.
- 2:36Speaker 3: I can't do this. So that's what we've been dealing with. Jick.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Jill has now missed a couple of days of work,
- 2:43Speaker 2: and I've been working, but it's Yesterday was really the
- 2:47Speaker 2: day that it kind of all started to hit me
- 2:49Speaker 2: by the end of the day. And you know a
- 2:52Speaker 2: few people have been expressing like, well, I hate that
- 2:57Speaker 2: you were having to take care of your family on
- 2:59Speaker 2: your birthday. It's like, because that was Wednesday, and look,
- 3:03Speaker 2: I try to live by this. I get to do it.
- 3:05Speaker 2: And you know, there's worse people to have to take
- 3:07Speaker 2: care of on your birthday than your family, than the
- 3:10Speaker 2: people that you love and that you care about, right,
- 3:13Speaker 2: So I got to do that. That's how I have
- 3:15Speaker 2: to look at things, and that's the best I can
- 3:17Speaker 2: do with it. Speaking of taking care of your family
- 3:19Speaker 2: and taking care of yourself and taking care of others,
- 3:22Speaker 2: and this is one of those things that I feel
- 3:27Speaker 2: it's important that we talk about. It's not one of
- 3:31Speaker 2: those topics a lot of people want to talk about,
- 3:34Speaker 2: but we have lost another celebrity to colo rectal cancer.
- 3:39Speaker 2: James Vanderbeek, who has died another high profile person. Now
- 3:44Speaker 2: I understand that when the star of the Black Panther.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Movies and many Marvel movies.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Dies from it's that's another very different thing than you know,
- 3:56Speaker 2: it's not to discount the celebrity of James vanderbiet Beek.
- 4:01Speaker 2: He is somebody who did you know, the CW used
- 4:05Speaker 2: to be the WB and he had a big show
- 4:08Speaker 2: on the WB and then he had a movie career.
- 4:11Speaker 2: It's not like he was, you know, a complete nobody,
- 4:15Speaker 2: and he was quite the heart throb back in the day.
- 4:17Speaker 3: So he had a.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Lot of fans, a lot of fans. And we're talking
- 4:23Speaker 2: about two guys who prior to being fifty years old
- 4:28Speaker 2: found out that they had colorectal cancer, and James Vanderbeek
- 4:33Speaker 2: is the latest.
- 4:34Speaker 3: And this is.
- 4:38Speaker 2: One of the reasons that they said, we're you know,
- 4:41Speaker 2: they used to test you at fifty and now they
- 4:44Speaker 2: test you at forty five. And there were a lot
- 4:47Speaker 2: of different ways that they can test you. You know,
- 4:51Speaker 2: there's a few things that they did, I shouldn't say
- 4:52Speaker 2: a lot. There's a couple things.
- 4:54Speaker 3: That they do.
- 4:55Speaker 2: The most accurate one that they can do certainly is
- 5:00Speaker 2: you know, you get your colonoscopy. It's the most thorough
- 5:03Speaker 2: way to do it. While they're in there, they're able
- 5:07Speaker 2: to remove some things if necessary. I have someone close
- 5:10Speaker 2: to me, very close to me, who had that happen.
- 5:13Speaker 2: It was a very small thing, they removed it, they
- 5:16Speaker 2: tested it. It was what they were concerned about. It
- 5:20Speaker 2: was cancerous and they were able to say but we got.
- 5:22Speaker 3: It all out.
- 5:24Speaker 2: They've since done their follow up. Everything's good, nothing to
- 5:28Speaker 2: worry about, continue to go on with life and get checked.
- 5:33Speaker 2: So when you have people that are high profile in
- 5:37Speaker 2: some regard that are diagnosed with colorectal cancer. In this
- 5:43Speaker 2: case James vanderbig w he was forty seven when he
- 5:46Speaker 2: found out. So the fact that we've had these high
- 5:49Speaker 2: profile cases where it's you know, really gotten the attention
- 5:54Speaker 2: of the public. It's part of this justification from moving
- 5:57Speaker 2: the age to forty five. So obviously if there are
- 6:02Speaker 2: now there's col of guard, there's some of these other options.
- 6:05Speaker 2: And that's why I say there's options, but the best
- 6:07Speaker 2: way to get checked, and some people have issues with
- 6:12Speaker 2: doing it the colonoscopy way and they have to do
- 6:15Speaker 2: col of guard. I know a few people who've had
- 6:16Speaker 2: to take that approach. I understand the most thorough is
- 6:21Speaker 2: going to be the colonoscopy because of what they can
- 6:23Speaker 2: do while they're in there. Now, I know it's not fun.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Nothing about this process is fun. I've done it a
- 6:30Speaker 2: few times. I had to get I got tested for
- 6:33Speaker 2: diverticulitis many many, many years ago, and that involved basically
- 6:41Speaker 2: two colonoscopy preps for that. It's not fun. It's not
- 6:45Speaker 2: something that you're like, man, sign me up. But it's
- 6:49Speaker 2: nice to get on the other side of it and
- 6:51Speaker 2: get a and all clear. That's what you want, or
- 6:53Speaker 2: get a hey we found something, we took it out,
- 6:56Speaker 2: You're good to go. That's what you want to hear,
- 7:00Speaker 2: what you want to get to. So this is just
- 7:02Speaker 2: a reminder again, fifty is not the age anymore.
- 7:07Speaker 3: It's forty five.
- 7:08Speaker 2: You should be getting checked and the people that you
- 7:10Speaker 2: care about you should be encouraging them to get checked
- 7:12Speaker 2: as well. This is the recommendation by doctors.
- 7:17Speaker 3: It's not coming from me.
- 7:19Speaker 2: I'm not a doctor. I didn't get a medical certification
- 7:25Speaker 2: and degree.
- 7:25Speaker 3: On the internet.
- 7:26Speaker 2: I'm just telling you from experience, having someone close to
- 7:31Speaker 2: me that I care about go through this process and
- 7:34Speaker 2: the fact that I wouldn't say to do it unless
- 7:37Speaker 2: I myself was up to date on all this. And
- 7:40Speaker 2: I tell believe me, ask any of my friends who
- 7:44Speaker 2: are hesitant about doing it the number of times that
- 7:46Speaker 2: I've texted them.
- 7:49Speaker 3: And reminded them.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Sometimes I think funny, maybe they think disgusting, but sometimes
- 7:55Speaker 2: they get a text message that has I call it gift.
- 7:58Speaker 2: You can call it whatever you want want. I send
- 8:02Speaker 2: them things to remind them, and I will do it
- 8:05Speaker 2: to you.
- 8:06Speaker 3: Now. You should do that to.
- 8:08Speaker 2: The people in your life that are afraid of it.
- 8:10Speaker 2: It's just a process. Nobody wants to do the prep.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Nobody wants to It's not something, but it's something that
- 8:15Speaker 2: you gotta do according to the experts. Again, I'm not
- 8:18Speaker 2: gonna pretend to be an expert. That's not what I'm
- 8:22Speaker 2: gonna do. I'm not gonna sit here and tell you
- 8:26Speaker 2: that I am somehow an expert on this particular topic.
- 8:31Speaker 2: All I can share is my personal experience with it,
- 8:34Speaker 2: and I have done that, and we have had a
- 8:36Speaker 2: reminder with James vanderbeet. All right, let's jump into some
- 8:41Speaker 2: positive news. I know that that's not anything we want
- 8:44Speaker 2: to think about on a Friday morning.
- 8:46Speaker 3: That's not what you want to think about.
- 8:48Speaker 2: So let's jump into something that's going on for like
- 8:52Speaker 2: today through the weekend. Madison County in Kentucky, their animal
- 8:58Speaker 2: shelter is inviting people in the community to host a
- 9:01Speaker 2: shelter dog over this weekend for Valentine's Day. They're calling
- 9:05Speaker 2: it Sweetheart Sleepovers. It's a short term fostering program that
- 9:09Speaker 2: allows the dogs to get a much needed break from
- 9:12Speaker 2: the loud shelter environment and let their true personality shine.
- 9:15Speaker 2: At the same time, it allows people a low pressure opportunity.
- 9:19Speaker 3: To get to know some dogs.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Right, no obligation to commit long term, but of course
- 9:26Speaker 2: there's always a possibility to make it official. I like
- 9:29Speaker 2: this idea. I think this is great. I think there's
- 9:32Speaker 2: probably a lot of animal shelters around that do this.
- 9:35Speaker 2: This is great the positive thing, and who knows, maybe
- 9:38Speaker 2: we'll have people that you know, fall in love with
- 9:39Speaker 2: these dogs they have for the weekend and they'll get
- 9:42Speaker 2: that opportunity to do that all right. Also in Kentucky,
- 9:46Speaker 2: three year old boy went missing in Louisville or Louisville.
- 9:50Speaker 2: He wasn't king Lua, he was Louis. I know they
- 9:53Speaker 2: have their way they say it, but let me say
- 9:55Speaker 2: it the way I want to. Police and helicopters launched
- 9:58Speaker 2: a massive search. It will He's a neighborhood dog who
- 10:01Speaker 2: cracked the case.
- 10:02Speaker 3: Though another dog story.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Just as the search was getting tense, a straight dog
- 10:07Speaker 2: appeared out of nowhere began barking at Officer Josh Thompson,
- 10:11Speaker 2: begging Josh.
- 10:12Speaker 3: To follow along. It was like Lassie.
- 10:15Speaker 2: The dog led Josh straight to a parked car and
- 10:18Speaker 2: sat right by the bumper, leading him directly to the
- 10:20Speaker 2: frightened but safe toddler. The boy was so happy to
- 10:23Speaker 2: be found he gave the officer a giant bear hug.
- 10:26Speaker 2: According to neighbors, the dog has a home but wanders
- 10:28Speaker 2: the neighborhood on warm days, and he's now familiar face
- 10:32Speaker 2: in the community, being called a hero by everyone involved
- 10:34Speaker 2: in the search. He's a rock star man. He is
- 10:37Speaker 2: absolutely a rock star. That is a great story, straight
- 10:41Speaker 2: from the pages of Lassie, isn't it. Australia's Sidney Water
- 10:47Speaker 2: Service says cruise. Oh, we got to jump into this
- 10:49Speaker 2: is weird news. Sorry I didn't make the transition. Let's
- 10:51Speaker 2: go to Australia. To start our strange and bizarre news, let's.
- 10:54Speaker 3: Do this Australia.
- 10:56Speaker 2: Sydney Water service crews have discovered a massive fat bird,
- 11:00Speaker 2: the size of four buses, lodged beneath a wastewater treatment plant.
- 11:06Speaker 2: What is a fatburg, you ask, Well, it's a giant,
- 11:08Speaker 2: hardened mass of fats, oils and grease. This one may
- 11:14Speaker 2: finally explain the mysterious black balls that have been washing
- 11:17Speaker 2: up on Sydney beaches since twenty twenty four. Those balls
- 11:22Speaker 2: were first thought to be from tar and oil, but
- 11:25Speaker 2: instead the testing at the University of New South Wales
- 11:30Speaker 2: revealed something very different. They contained human waste. Sydney Water
- 11:37Speaker 2: says that the fat burg is sitting on what it
- 11:40Speaker 2: calls an inaccessible dead zone of the tunnel system. Crews
- 11:44Speaker 2: can't safely reach it, so its exact size is still unknown.
- 11:48Speaker 2: The debris balls form It's likely anyway when water flows
- 11:53Speaker 2: across the surface of the fat berg, breaking off small
- 11:56Speaker 2: pieces eventually wash out to see. Sydney Water already a
- 12:00Speaker 2: major overhaul of the wastewater system, a project expected to
- 12:04Speaker 2: take about ten years to complete. About seven months ago
- 12:09Speaker 2: six seven months ago, Yeah, I was in Sydney. We
- 12:13Speaker 2: weren't really able to get in the water because it
- 12:15Speaker 2: was winter there. Seems pretty good that we weren't. No
- 12:19Speaker 2: that we know all of this sounds interesting. I hope
- 12:24Speaker 2: they have it resolved by the time we want to
- 12:25Speaker 2: get in the water in Sydney. I mean we stuck
- 12:27Speaker 2: our feet in.
- 12:28Speaker 3: Does that count?
- 12:29Speaker 2: A small oopsie grew into a huge problem for United
- 12:32Speaker 2: Airlines passenger who accidentally got boarded on the wrong flight
- 12:36Speaker 2: and ended up in an entirely different continent. Traveler was
- 12:39Speaker 2: supposed to fly from la to Nicaragua with a quick
- 12:44Speaker 2: stopover in Houston. Instead, he somehow boarded a flight bound
- 12:48Speaker 2: for Tokyo. United Airlines confirmed the mix up, saying they're
- 12:51Speaker 2: investigating how the passenger was allowed to board.
- 12:53Speaker 3: The wrong plane.
- 12:55Speaker 2: The airline apologized offered travel credits reimburse the traveler. According
- 12:59Speaker 2: to reports, the passenger didn't realize something was off until
- 13:03Speaker 2: mid flight, when he asked the flight attendant why the
- 13:05Speaker 2: three hour trip to Houston was taking six hours, and
- 13:09Speaker 2: that's when the flags went up. Plane eventually landed in Tokyo,
- 13:15Speaker 2: where the passenger spent two nights in a hotel while
- 13:17Speaker 2: United worked out a new itinerary to get him to Nicaragua.
- 13:22Speaker 2: The story blew up on Reddit, where users chimed in
- 13:25Speaker 2: with everything from sympathy to disbelief. One person joking, if
- 13:29Speaker 2: six hours go by and you're not in Houston, something's wrong.
- 13:34Speaker 2: Another said they'd love to end up in Japan by mistake.
- 13:36Speaker 2: They were baffled, saying there were so many signs the traveler.
- 13:39Speaker 3: Should have noticed. Well, the airline should have also noticed.
- 13:43Speaker 2: I think the moment that you know, they scanned his
- 13:46Speaker 2: sporting pass, right, shouldn't there have been some sort of
- 13:51Speaker 2: an alert that, hey, you're getting.
- 13:52Speaker 3: On the wrong plane.
- 13:56Speaker 2: I thought that's what the whole point of the boarding
- 13:58Speaker 2: pass was, right, it'd be nice to have a couple
- 14:01Speaker 2: of days in Japan. I mean, unless he was urgently
- 14:03Speaker 2: trying to get to Nicaragua, which is possible at a professor,
- 14:09Speaker 2: by the way, who that's how she pronounced it every
- 14:11Speaker 2: single time. And I don't think she was Latin in
- 14:14Speaker 2: any way. It's just the way she pronounced it, and
- 14:16Speaker 2: she did it every single time, and I have to
- 14:19Speaker 2: do it now because I don't know, it's like a
- 14:22Speaker 2: tribute to her. Maybe I don't know, or maybe it's
- 14:25Speaker 2: just stuck in my head?
- 14:26Speaker 3: Now, all right?
- 14:27Speaker 2: How about this video making rounds on Chinese social media
- 14:30Speaker 2: appears to show a goldfish swimming around a tank headless.
- 14:36Speaker 3: Here's the scary part.
- 14:38Speaker 2: It's not ai, it's real, and it's completely backed by science.
- 14:44Speaker 2: A month ago, a goldfish owner in China posted a
- 14:46Speaker 2: video of his fish cruising around its tank with a
- 14:49Speaker 2: gaping hole where the head should have been, no eyes,
- 14:51Speaker 2: no mouth, part of its brain even missing. The little
- 14:56Speaker 2: guy kept swimming as if nothing had happened. So how
- 14:59Speaker 2: does this happen? Owner explained that the issue on the
- 15:01Speaker 2: fish's head started dying, likely from an infection, and the tissue.
- 15:10Speaker 3: Started to weaken.
- 15:11Speaker 2: The other fish in the tank began pecking at it,
- 15:13Speaker 2: eventually leaving the fish effectively headless. Here's where the science
- 15:18Speaker 2: comes in. A goldfish's brain is stretched out in a
- 15:21Speaker 2: line that runs from the head into the body. The
- 15:25Speaker 2: front part handles things like sight smell, but the real
- 15:28Speaker 2: life support system is tuck safely inside the body, so
- 15:31Speaker 2: as long as the brain stem stays intact, the fish
- 15:33Speaker 2: can breathe, keep its body moving blood flowing. According to
- 15:38Speaker 2: the owner of the headless goldfish managed to survive for
- 15:41Speaker 2: about two weeks.
- 15:44Speaker 3: That's crazy. That is crazy. I want to say it's gross,
- 15:48Speaker 3: but it's kind of fascinating, isn't it.
- 15:49Speaker 2: I mean it sounds disgusting, but all right. You know
- 15:55Speaker 2: the claw machines at the arcade, they get those cheap
- 16:00Speaker 2: plush toys or maybe those giant balls, and designed to
- 16:07Speaker 2: lure in those customers, especially young kids. Well, it's happened again.
- 16:13Speaker 2: At a soccer complex in Missouri. A toddler watching his
- 16:17Speaker 2: older brother play at the Vetta Sports soccer Dome, two
- 16:22Speaker 2: year old Cooper King managed to climb inside the claw machine.
- 16:25Speaker 2: His mom, Megan, says that she looked away for fifteen
- 16:27Speaker 2: seconds before hearing someone shout Cooper's name. She turned to
- 16:31Speaker 2: see her toddler sitting calmly inside the machine, surrounded by toys.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Like it was just normal.
- 16:38Speaker 2: Cooper's standing there for about twenty minutes, playing completely unfazed.
- 16:41Speaker 2: Police and firefighters arrived.
- 16:43Speaker 3: In the end.
- 16:44Speaker 2: It wasn't a rescue operation. That freedom was a service
- 16:46Speaker 2: tech with a key. Cooper's doing all right. Sounds like
- 16:51Speaker 2: he had a good time at the very least. Today's
- 16:53Speaker 2: show brought to you by Columbus State University's COCA Cola

- 19:06Speaker 2: square in that away for you, and while they're there,
- 19:09Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
- 19:11Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 19:14Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 19:18Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 19:20Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 19:23Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 19:26Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
- 19:30Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 19:33Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 19:37Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 19:39Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 19:42Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 19:45Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 19:48Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 19:50Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
- 19:53Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 19:55Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 19:57Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours. There's nothing
- 20:01Speaker 2: worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside
- 20:03Speaker 2: your garage and your garage door won't open and you
- 20:06Speaker 2: need somebody to come help, And they do those as well.

- 20:18Speaker 2: more West Carol Morning Show right after the break. Well,
- 20:29Speaker 2: if you've been watching the Winter Olympics and seeing this
- 20:36Speaker 2: fall by Lindsay Vaughn and some of the others, probably
- 20:40Speaker 2: an indication that winter Olympics sports can be very dangerous, right,
- 20:46Speaker 2: can be very dangerous and can cause some serious harm
- 20:51Speaker 2: to the body, And it seems at the very least
- 20:56Speaker 2: maybe they're more dangerous than the Summer Olympic sports. Now
- 21:00Speaker 2: there's a few of those as well that I would go.
- 21:01Speaker 2: I'm not doing that, but I've accepted the fact that
- 21:06Speaker 2: at my current age and lack of experience, there are
- 21:10Speaker 2: many of these sports I wouldn't even be able to
- 21:12Speaker 2: try without hurting myself really badly. I've been known to
- 21:15Speaker 2: hurt myself stretching or just turning my head to the side.
- 21:19Speaker 2: Those those things have happened to me. It's just how
- 21:23Speaker 2: it goes sometimes, or as my friend Ron said, that's
- 21:28Speaker 2: just how it be correct Ron. So I guess there's
- 21:34Speaker 2: some people that are watching the Olympics and trying to
- 21:37Speaker 2: figure out which of these sports could I actually try.
- 21:41Speaker 2: And I'm talking about with no experience. I'm not saying
- 21:43Speaker 2: if you already are a good skater and you go, well,
- 21:47Speaker 2: I could play hockey, or I'm a good skater, I
- 21:50Speaker 2: could try figure skating or something. I mean and not
- 21:53Speaker 2: fall or I ski. Okay, we're talking about the people
- 21:57Speaker 2: that are doing the skiing where they're jumping up on
- 21:59Speaker 2: those like rail things and coming off and you haven't
- 22:03Speaker 2: done it before, or you know these things at Lindsay
- 22:07Speaker 2: Vaughn where they're flying and I know someone who told me, oh,
- 22:11Speaker 2: I could do curling. Let me just point this out,
- 22:15Speaker 2: and I'm not saying curling is probably a reasonably safe
- 22:19Speaker 2: option for you, especially if you have some experience with skiing,
- 22:23Speaker 2: but just remember that they're on ice and they're wearing
- 22:26Speaker 2: those little shoes with the little donuts on the bottom
- 22:28Speaker 2: where they can slide around on that ice.
- 22:30Speaker 3: I would probably.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Damage my lower spine the old atomic drop in professional wrestling,
- 22:39Speaker 2: that's where I would do. It would basically be doing
- 22:42Speaker 2: that to myself on the ice. I've done that before
- 22:45Speaker 2: on roller skates when I was a kid. So as
- 22:48Speaker 2: much as I love watching curling and it's a fascinating event,
- 22:53Speaker 2: I don't know that I could do it without really busting.
- 22:56Speaker 2: I'd love to try it, but I'm pretty sure I
- 22:58Speaker 2: would end up on my butt on the ice. Hey
- 23:02Speaker 2: McDonald's tried to go fancy for Valentine's Day this year,
- 23:06Speaker 2: and it worked really well. They're dealing with these McNugget
- 23:11Speaker 2: caviar kits. The kits pairing crispy nuggets with actual caviar,
- 23:19Speaker 2: and they were available for free back on Tuesday, mcnuggetcaviar
- 23:24Speaker 2: dot Com. The whole thing vanished online in minutes. Fan
- 23:27Speaker 2: say they the site basically crashed while bots scooped up
- 23:31Speaker 2: the freebies. Each kit had a ten of caviar twenty
- 23:34Speaker 2: five dollars, arch card, Mother of Pearl Spoon ninety five dollars.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Retail kits popping up on eBay for hundreds, So if
- 23:44Speaker 2: you missed out and you really really want to get
- 23:47Speaker 2: on it, that's where you need to go. It's to
- 23:50Speaker 2: eBay and be ready to pay. I don't know that
- 23:53Speaker 2: I want caviar from McDonald's. I don't know the last
- 23:57Speaker 2: time I had a McNugget.
- 23:59Speaker 3: I actually had to.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Yeah, I do, only because someone said I can't eat
- 24:03Speaker 2: this McNugget.
- 24:04Speaker 3: Do you want it? And I thought, I.
- 24:05Speaker 2: Haven't had one in a really lotly years. So all right,
- 24:10Speaker 2: here's a trend that we can probably get behind. You're
- 24:14Speaker 2: familiar with doom scrolling, or you're just endlessly scrolling through
- 24:18Speaker 2: negative news and upsetting posts and stressful content all designed
- 24:22Speaker 2: to get you upset by the way spring's coming. Maybe
- 24:25Speaker 2: you could start bloom scrolling, so it's the opposite of
- 24:29Speaker 2: doom scrolling. Instead of diving into a pit of depressing headlines,
- 24:35Speaker 2: you plant good things into your feet, choosing positive, calming,
- 24:38Speaker 2: and inspiring content. It's all about being intentional about what
- 24:41Speaker 2: you feed your brain and curating your social media space
- 24:45Speaker 2: so it lifts you up instead of stressing you out.
- 24:48Speaker 2: Animal videos, peaceful travel tips, wholesome moments, creativity, anything that
- 24:53Speaker 2: makes you feel lighter. People embracing the idea as a
- 24:55Speaker 2: digital self care habit, swapping out constant negativity for content
- 25:01Speaker 2: that boosts their mood and helps them to reset. Guess what,
- 25:06Speaker 2: That's not gonna make you a social media content creator
- 25:08Speaker 2: superstar if you do that. Sorry, I'm just laying down
- 25:12Speaker 2: the reality. It's just not the way it's made to work.
- 25:16Speaker 2: They don't really, they don't really want you doing that,
- 25:22Speaker 2: all right. Scientists at the University of Maryland developed what
- 25:24Speaker 2: might be the most unexpected piece of wearable tech yet,
- 25:27Speaker 2: smart underwear. Oh yeah, this is my story. It's specially
- 25:34Speaker 2: designed underwear that tracks your gut health by measuring your flatulence. Really,
- 25:41Speaker 2: Researchers say, the Tiner sensor clips into your regular underwear
- 25:45Speaker 2: monitors hydrogen gas produced by your gut bacteria. That makes
- 25:50Speaker 2: it surprisingly accurate windows for what's going on inside your
- 25:54Speaker 2: digestive system. They did a study with thirty eight volunteers
- 25:59Speaker 2: a device to detected changes in diet with nearly ninety
- 26:02Speaker 2: five percent accuracy. It also revealed that most people pass
- 26:05Speaker 2: gas an average of thirty two times a day, even
- 26:09Speaker 2: if we don't admit it. Researchers now launching into what
- 26:11Speaker 2: they call Human Flatus Atlas, a nationwide project to map
- 26:17Speaker 2: out typical patterns and better understand how diet and gut
- 26:20Speaker 2: bacteria interact. Team has filed patents and started a company
- 26:23Speaker 2: to bring the technology to market. They say it could
- 26:26Speaker 2: eventually help people pinpoint which foods trigger digestive issues. That'll
- 26:34Speaker 2: do it for this Friday edition of the show. Thanks
