  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, twenty fifth day of March. I'm west thanks
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: for joining me. Even with some rain, pollen craziness continues.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: And I was in an area yesterday where I think
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: the pollen count was a little bit less than it
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: was here in the Chattahoochee Valley, and it's an interesting scenario.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I drove several hours to Buford, Georgia. I'll get to
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: that in a second, but I was there most of
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the day yesterday. I was coughing quite a bit, but
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: because I think that, as I've pointed out, my lungs
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: are basically like a really really old vacuum cleaner bag
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and just full of dust and debris and I don't
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: know sand, that's what it feels like. It's just all
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: kinds of crud in there. And you can hear it
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: in my v this morning. And I was there most
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: of the day yesterday. And then when I got home,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: and this is a one hundred percent true story, I
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: pull into my driveway, I stopped the car and immediately
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: sneeze the very first I hadn't sneezed the entire day,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: as soon as I got home, I sneezed and then
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: proceeded to blow my nose for I don't know, twenty minutes. Sorry, disgusting,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I know, but it was just all that kind of happened.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: As soon as I got back home. I got back
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: in the vicinity of whatever it is with steria or
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: the pear tree. I don't know. I don't know what
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: the deal is. But my point is I was away
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: from home all day yesterday in an area with a
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: lower pollen count. It wasn't so bad. As soon as
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I got home, the sneezing and the nose blowing started.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: The coughing continued. But anyway, why Buford, Georgia, you might ask, Well,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: my son Luke was competing in a state wide math
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: competition yesterday for his middle school, and he they won
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the regional competition, and then they were actually seven from
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the school went for including Luke, and three others were
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: part of the team that went to compete at the
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: national level in Beford, Georgia. And then there were three
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: others that ranked high enough overall in individual scoring that
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: they were also invited to be part of this competition
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: for some of the individual levels and rounds and it
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: was great, great to be there. This is something that
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Jake now sixteen year old, who is on the math
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: team at Columbus High School, competed in in the past
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: and now his brother is competing in and it's pretty cool.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: It's a cool opportunity. I think it's great to get
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: all those kids from all those different places together, highly competitive.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I think there were two hundred plus students that were
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: involved in this competition, and they're always looking to grow
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the whole event. It's called Math Counts, and if you've
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: got a math kid that's at a school that doesn't
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: participate in Math Counts, you should. Apparently, according to the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: very nice woman who runs the event, is encouraging people
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to tell their math teachers to reach out and find
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: out how their school can be a part of the
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Math Counts competition with there's levels to this, and then
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: there's also now a national competition that the four kids
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: that scored the highest yesterday, not any kids from our area, unfortunately,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: no kids from my son's school, but the four kids
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: who scored the highest will go and compete at the
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: national level in DC in May. So that's the way
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: it works, and that's pretty cool. So anyway, we were
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: there for that. We had to we road tripped yesterday.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I make this comment a lot to people. I've probably
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: said it here before, but I've got a lot of friends.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: You know, my kids played soccer, we did, and I
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: coached soccer for a long time, four through four to
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: twelve for both of them, sometimes overlapping coaching two teams
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: at the same time. And a lot of kids I
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: know now, even some of the kids I coach, they're
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: now competing in travel soccer or have moved on to
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: travel baseball and all the travel sports. And I say
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: this all the time. My kids, they do travel math.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: That's what we do. We get on Jake. On Saturday,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I had a math competition in Macon and then Luke
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: was in Beauford, Georgia yesterday. We had to leave early
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: yesterday and get on the road and get to Buford
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: for this competition. So that's what my day was like yesterday.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: And I just stressed the whole time. I was there.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Minimal interaction with polland I mean I think there was
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: some in the air certainly, and I admit I was coughing,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: but I think the coughing is residual from what's been
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: going on for a little while now. But anyway, so
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: another part of the story, and I just thought I
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: would share this because this is something that and I
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: may have discussed this before, I'm not sure, but this
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: is something that happened yesterday and I highly encourage it, okay,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: And I'm certainly no expert on this. I have been
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: covering politics in some capacity now for a long time
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: since I guess that probably about seven minimally in other
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: you know, radio endeavors and things over the years, but
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: you know, doing it as an actual person covering news
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: at times trying to have journalistic integrity about important news things,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: while at times just giving you my opinion on things.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And when people call me a journalist sometimes I get
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: a little uncomfortable with that. I'm not someone who sees
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: himself as a journalist. However, there are some issues that
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I understand there's an importance to covering them with some
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: journalistic integrity. I feel like I covered COVID right in
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty when things let's just be honest and blunt here,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: when all hell broke loose, I covered COVID, I think,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: with as much journalistic integrity as I could throughout the process.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: There were elements of it that I certainly applauded the
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: fact that there were developments and things that were happening
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: from the Trump administration to help with things. But overall,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: in general, my coverage of it was from a perspective
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: of here's what the experts are telling us, here's what
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: we're being told, here's the information coming from. Interviewed the
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Surgeon General. I had him on the show, and you know,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: passed along the information that he had to share. I
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: talked with other people out of the White House. I've
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: talked with our governor. I talked with people all around
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the state. That's what you do. That's what you do
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: when you're trying to approach things. And it's not about
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: my opinion or my thoughts of it. It's about covering
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: things as much as a journalist as you can. And
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: so there's times when that's what I've done. You know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I've had to cover significant events. I've covered elections, and
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: sure I have my opinions on many things. And that's
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: why I don't necessarily say, hey, look at me, I'm
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: a journalist. Now. I do a show on Thursdays that
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: typically comes out on Thursdays. That's about space news and
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: what's going on in in space, what's going on on
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Earth as it pertains to what's going on in space,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: and that show I very much do to. I don't
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: go into it with opinions. I do that from a
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: journalistic standpoint. I consider myself a space media there. Doctor
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Sean Cruisin and I both treat that with as much
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: respect as we can without diving into our personal opinions
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and vendettas or whatever you might want to say. So
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I've been doing this for a while, right, and sometimes
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: when I talk to people, they sort of treat me like,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm, you know, getting my information from whatever source.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: And I can just say this, I know where. I
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: can usually tell when I'm talking to somebody where they're
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: getting their information from. They don't know where I'm getting
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: mine from. Right. They may think they do, but they don't.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: And part of all of this for me is that
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I am, certainly when it comes to my opinions, rooted
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: in opinions that come from specific places. And so what
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I wanted to just discuss here this morning is I
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: think there's an importance to letting people know important people
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: in your life that need to know where you're coming
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: from in Some of those people are your children. I've
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: told my children many times before. Certainly they're teenagers at
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: this point. They're still in my house, They're still under
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: my roof and the roof of my wife, and they're
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: going to follow certain rules. That's what you do when
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: you're not an adult, and you have adults that are
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: trying to raise you to be a decent human being,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: that are trying to raise you with a certain set
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: of principles and values and so that you can be
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: someone that you can contribute to the world in a
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: positive way. My boys know where I stand politically, they
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: know where I stand religiously. We share that they're still
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not someone who tells my thirteen year old and
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: my sixteen year old boy, you have to have the
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: same opinions that I do on politics. And I'm not
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: going to even go into the views that they have
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: because those are their views. This isn't a show for
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: talking about what their political views are right and they're
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: really young to have them. Where are they getting their
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: information from, Who are they getting it from, how are
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: they getting it? And those are all relevant to the
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: question or to the conversation maybe so. I think it's
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: important that we talk to our kids when they do
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: know where you align politically. I think it's important that
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: they understand why you align that way politically. And this
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: was a conversation that I've had with Jake several years ago.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Jake understands where my values come from. He understands why
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I believe what I believe, and that's important to me.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: And yesterday, with a nice long car ride with Luke,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I had the opportunity to do that with him. And
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: it's interesting when you ask your kids questions about what
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: they know and how they know it, and why maybe
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: you feel the way you feel, or why you vote
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: the way you vote, to get their perspective on what
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: they think the reasoning is behind it, and it's often
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: not really accurate. I mean, there's some elements of it.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: They certainly understand certain aspects of why I believe the
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: things that I believe, but they don't. In this case,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Luke did and Jake now does, but he didn't certainly
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: back then. But after having a long conversation, Luke now
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: understands why I vote the way that I vote and
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: why on principle I believe the things that I believe
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: when it comes to how the country was founded, some
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: of the foundations for how the country was founded, basic
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: things like the importance of a very small federal government
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: minimal government of any kind for us, and why we
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: should be governing ourselves and we should have the ability
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: to govern ourselves, and why the larger the government, the
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: more opportunity there is for corruption, and giving them examples
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: of corrupt governments, including how quickly our entire process can
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: go astray when we don't have a strong leader in place,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: or a leader at all in place, when we have
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: someone who is in the White House but not actually
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: running the country, the person that was elected to run
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: the country but isn't running the country. And that's what
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: we had for four years, And how much different it
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: is when someone gets elected and they are there doing
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: the things that they promised that they would do during
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: their campaign. They won a you know, resounding win. You know,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, you start talking about a Republican president who
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: wins every battleground state and then wins the popular vote.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: And there's a reason why with a mandate you say,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: this is what I was elected to do, this is
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: what I'm going to do, This is what I promised
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: you I would do, and why that's important and why
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: you know, a person with cognition problems incapable of doing
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: the job and having people around him just auto signaturing
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: god knows what during his term and making decisions on
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: behalf of the American people as the president when the
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: president wasn't involved, and we know there were some of
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: these decisions where he wasn't involved, so that's important. I
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: think it's important that you sit down with your kids.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I think it's important that you talk with them. And
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: this is just me coming from you know, Like I said,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not an expert on this particular field, but I
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: can tell you that I can't control where my children
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: will eventually land politically. But it's important for me and
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: it's important for them that they know and understand where
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I'm coming from. They need to know the basis for
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: why I vote the way I vote, and why I
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: believe what I believe when it comes to the most
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: effective way to run a government that was instilled with
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: basic principles that in some cases we still follow, and
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: some of them we just sort of push aside because
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: they're inconvenient or because they stand in the way of
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: some other plan that is attempted to be put in place.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I can't tell you what to tell your kids. You
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: can explain to your kids why you believe what you believe,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: but it's important that they know that even if you
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: disagree with me, even if you have a completely different
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: and I have people that listen to the show that
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: I know don't agree with me on a lot politically,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: but it's important that your kids understand why you believe
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: what you believe. Obviously, when it comes to the things
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: that I believe in, I do this show and often
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: cover some of the basics of it, and I have
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to tell my kids, Look, this is why
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I vote the way I vote, This is why I
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: believe what I believe. And I can give them specific examples. Hey,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: when I was on the phone with filling the blank
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: on which person and it is someone who has, you know,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: served in a cabinet level position or is currently serving
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: in a cabinet level position when it comes to, you know,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: handling an issue of the day. And I've had the
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: opportunity to talk to some of these people and not
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: only get the official stance, but also the off the
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: record stance. On things, and yes, sometimes that's very important
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: and that's very relevant, and I'm able to share that
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: experience with them, and I know not everybody has that,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: but still I think it's important that our kids know
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: where we're coming from because see what what we hear
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: in the news and what they're sometimes hearing in the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: classroom and what they're sometimes hearing from, you know, outside sources,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: is that one side's good, the other side's evil. And
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: that goes both directions. Right. So if you have a
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: logical reason, a religious reason, and a very strong personal
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: reason that you vote the way that you vote, but
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: your kids know that you vote the way that maybe
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: people at school are saying is evil, well they need to.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: They have a right to know why you vote the
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: way you vote. And it can't be just as simple
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: as you know, mom and dad vote this way. Therefore
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: it's right they need to understand why mom and dad
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: vote that way. Because right now, at thirteen, maybe it
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: feels fine to say, oh, they're right, they're my parents,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I trust them. But what happens when they're eighteen, nineteen,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: twenty years old or they go to college and then
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: they've got people screaming about how horrible. People who vote
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: a certain way are and there's no foundation or justification,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: and then suddenly Thanksgiving becomes really awkward, coming home for
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Christmas becomes really awkward, and then you don't recognize who
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: that kid is anymore because they can't connect with you.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: At least, maybe if they understand where you're coming from,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: they're going to have some understanding of it where you
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: can at least have that sort of a connection because someday,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: if they come home with a different opinion, you might
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: be able to ask them, well, how did you come
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: to that conclusion? And it's a fair question because you
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: offered it to them when they were younger, so it's
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: fair that they should be able to explain it to you. Right.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: all ages. I mean, they do it for school age kids,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: but they also do it through their university programs where
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: space and STEM fields are booming right now, and you
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: can learn more about maybe get your degree on their
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: that they do with the Schwobe School of Music from
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: city lights you don't want any light interference, and you
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: can do that as well. Upcoming Ronomy Night events also
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan says,

  Speaker 2: Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org. I just remind you

  Speaker 2: that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC

• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put down,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: and you can use your garage space as a sort
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: work on your own cars in there, or maybe you
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: just want a little man cavid, you'd like to be
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: able to open the door up and not invite all
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: the insects in. They can do that for you as well,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: than that thought of having your car trapped inside your
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: garage and your garage door won't open and you need
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: somebody to come help, and they do those as well.

• 22:01
  Speaker 2: A new poll done by Pew Research says that there's
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: no right time for life's milestones, and that would include
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: a lot of the big ones. Pollsters asked Americans the
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: best time to get married, best time to have your
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: first child, best time to buy a house, best time
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: to retire, and in all of those cases, this poll
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: says there's no best age. Now those that did give
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: a best age. If this gives you any perspective on
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: what the people that were polled think getting married between
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: twenty five and twenty nine. Twenty three percent said so
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: having your first child twenty five to twenty nine. That's
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: twenty eight percent of people buying a home thirty to
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: forty years old, with eighteen percent jumping in and retiring
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: between sixty five and sixty nine with twenty six percent.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: So those numbers being so low shows you people are
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: not very like. These aren't decisive, and there's probably a
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: time when those would have been kind of the ideal
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: numbers for all of that. Hold on to your coffee mugs,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: because your office coffee machine might be more doing more
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: than just fueling your work day. It could be messing
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: with your cholesterol levels and increasing your risk of heart disease.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: This is one of those things that we don't like.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Anytime there's a poll that says bacon's good for you,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: eat lots of bacon, we hang on to those. When
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: it says coffee is good for you, drink it, we
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: do that. But when the ones that say bad, but
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: we have to share it all my talk about anything
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: remotely journalism related. Earlier, Swedish researchers found that coffee brood
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: in workplace machines has a higher level of cholesterol raising
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: compounds compared to paper filtered coffee. The sneaky comp pounds
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: can boost your LDO cholesterol, the bad kind link to
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: heart disease, while paper filters typically trap these compounds. Those
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: metal filters, which are typically found in commercial coffee machines,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: just allow them to get right into your cup. Easy fix, right,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: just switch over to the paper filtered coffee. Yeah, I
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: used to have one of those, and it wasn't We
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: had the big work machine at a previous job. But
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: we use the paper ones anyway that went in there,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: So I feel pretty good about that. However, at home,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not even I am I allowed to just say that
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I have a cure. I don't know if you're supposed
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: to admit that because some of the people that don't
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: like that for environmental reasons. Now, I do have some
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: of the ones that have the metal filter. Sometimes I
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: use those. I don't know if they're getting the job done,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: but I don't use those regularly, so I don't know.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know where this stands on this the individual serve.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: I guess I need to do more research. I need
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: to dig into this thing and see where everything stands
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: on all of this? All right? Scientists have created sound bubbles.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Researchers at Penn State have created sound bubbles, which are
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: localized sound spots that allow users to step into them
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: and listen to audio that people on the outside of
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: the bubble aren't able to hear. The breakthrough could be
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: used and shared places places like museums, offices, and vehicles. Vehicles, Yes, please,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: it's like having a virtual headset in a certain space,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: but without actual headphones. Can we just surround the whole
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: car with it and then the guys at the gas
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: station that want everybody in the entire one hundred mile
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: radius to hear the song. The other day I heard
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: someone with bass music going going down the road, just
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: that thumping, annoying base, and I thought, this is like,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: is this Please tell me this isn't coming back? And
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: who still thinks this is a thing? Video game industry
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: big shots got together last week for the Game Developers
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Conference and gave out awards for the best games of
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, and the awards were voted on by
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: artists and crafts people who actually make the games. The
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: big winner was and this is a game. I don't
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: play so balatrowe It's a spin on the card game Poker.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: It involves building unique decks of cards. The other nominees
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: for Best Game award included Astrobot, Black Myth Wukong, Hell
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Divers II. Oh man, if you haven't played that, Hell Divers,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: just you wait for Hell? Do I need to play
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Hell Divers to play Hell Divers too? Final Fantasy seven
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Rebirth and Metaphor ref Fantasio tell that I'm into that game. Yeah,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know what this Balatro It's got me a
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: little interest interested, I get is this something that you play?
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: This is obviously a video game? Is this an app?
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of curious about that one. Many of these
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: others not so much. And finally, a new robot named
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Aletta has been programmed to draw blood more efficiently with
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: less pain and less pain at least than experience humans
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: who draw blood. The Aletta uses infrared light to locate
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: the veins, sprays the patient's arm with alcohol to clean it,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: and then an AI driven probe inserts the needle into
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: the vein and collects blood into tubes. The thing even
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: puts a bandage on the area to finish things off
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Aletta supposedly has a ninety five percent success rate when
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: it comes to drawing usable blood on the first attempt,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: and the machine can be especially useful for patients who
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: might otherwise be difficult to successfully stick. Pretty interesting. As
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: someone who gives blood regularly, I am very interested in this.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: This is uh, you know, can this be something done
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: at that level where you're donating blood or platelets or something?
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: All right that I'll do it for this Tuesday edition
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: you for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
