- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
- 0:06Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, eighteenth day of August. I'm West thanks for
- 0:18Speaker 2: joining me. We are approaching, fast approaching Dragon Con happening
- 0:26Speaker 2: that first weekend of September, Labor Day weekend downtown Atlanta,
- 0:33Speaker 2: five for five four star hotels and the America's Mart.
- 0:38Speaker 2: That's where all of the vendor action takes place. And
- 0:41Speaker 2: I was just talking to someone the other day and
- 0:43Speaker 2: they were saying, I'm assuming there will be lots of
- 0:48Speaker 2: special items, limited edition items, because this being the fortieth
- 0:52Speaker 2: dragon Con, I.
- 0:54Speaker 3: Would assume the same.
- 0:56Speaker 2: Last year I spent some time in the vendor hall
- 0:58Speaker 2: interviewing some of the vendors and there were a lot
- 1:02Speaker 2: of special items then for the forty yes, I would
- 1:05Speaker 2: assume that would be the case there in America's Mart.
- 1:09Speaker 2: And yesterday I chatted with Tricia Helfer from Battlestar Galactica
- 1:18Speaker 2: and the show Lucifer and a number of other projects.
- 1:23Speaker 3: Movies.
- 1:24Speaker 2: She's done a bunch of some Hallmark Christmas movies, but
- 1:27Speaker 2: I think she's working on a Lifetime movie now.
- 1:28Speaker 3: That's where she was yesterday when we were talking.
- 1:32Speaker 2: And I met her at twenty fourteen, I think, so
- 1:37Speaker 2: it was good catching up with her again. And she
- 1:40Speaker 2: will be part of our Dragon Con pregame show that
- 1:43Speaker 2: will take place on August of twenty ninth, that's when
- 1:46Speaker 2: it will officially be released. But I chatted with her.
- 1:50Speaker 2: I've got a conversation coming this week with Tom Welling.
- 1:53Speaker 2: I've got another interview waiting to hear final word on.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Hope to have some an update on that soon. But
- 2:01Speaker 2: it will be a fantastic show to get you ready
- 2:03Speaker 2: for Dragon Con. It is powered by a Columbus State
- 2:05Speaker 2: University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, and you can hear
- 2:09Speaker 2: it on radio on the twenty ninth and thirtieth of August,
- 2:13Speaker 2: and you can hear it on a podcast beginning on
- 2:16Speaker 2: the twenty ninth as well.
- 2:19Speaker 3: Might slip it in there a little early.
- 2:21Speaker 2: Might slip it in a little early, but we'll have
- 2:24Speaker 2: it's a shortened version of the show for radio and
- 2:27Speaker 2: then the full interviews. I had a great conversation with
- 2:30Speaker 2: Trisha Hilfer though yesterday. She is just one of the
- 2:33Speaker 2: nicest people that I've been around, and when it comes
- 2:37Speaker 2: to these conventions, and she's great with the fans, and
- 2:41Speaker 2: she's somebody who an actor, she's a model, a producer
- 2:46Speaker 2: and has done voice work for animation for video games.
- 2:52Speaker 2: And I asked her the question, like, what video games
- 2:54Speaker 2: do you play? You can find that out on the
- 2:56Speaker 2: Dragon Con pregame show. And which of the Hallmark Christmas
- 3:01Speaker 2: movies she's watched and liked. That's two of my questions
- 3:05Speaker 2: I asked because I needed to know, you know, I don't.
- 3:08Speaker 2: I haven't watched any of those. I need to know
- 3:10Speaker 2: if I got to get caught up, which ones do
- 3:12Speaker 2: I get caught up on? So get ready for that.
- 3:16Speaker 2: And then Tom Welling looking forward to chatting with him
- 3:18Speaker 2: this week as well. From Smallville Superman. I mean, if
- 3:22Speaker 2: you can get Superman on the show, and you can
- 3:25Speaker 2: get Siline number six from Battlestar on the show, you
- 3:28Speaker 2: do it. You get them on the show and you
- 3:31Speaker 2: talk to him. And I've interviewed multiple people from Battlestar,
- 3:36Speaker 2: multiple people from Smallville. The Smallville has the edge right now.
- 3:40Speaker 2: I've interviewed more of the cast from Smallville, and many
- 3:43Speaker 2: of the people I've already interviewed are going to be
- 3:45Speaker 2: there this year. So excited about a chance to talk
- 3:48Speaker 2: with him, because I mean, Superman.
- 3:51Speaker 3: How many times you get a chance to talk to Superman?
- 3:54Speaker 3: Not many, not many. You don't get many chances of that.
- 3:58Speaker 2: So he'll be part of the show as well. And
- 4:00Speaker 2: again thanks to Columbus State University's Cocola Space Science Center. Okay,
- 4:05Speaker 2: and by all means, listen to past episodes of the
- 4:08Speaker 2: Dragon Con pregame show on podcasts wherever you get this podcast,
- 4:14Speaker 2: you can get that podcast.
- 4:15Speaker 3: Check out old episodes.
- 4:18Speaker 2: With other cast members from Smallville and Battlestar and you know,
- 4:22Speaker 2: William Shatner, people like that. All right, let's talk about
- 4:27Speaker 2: the campaign in Michigan only just because I think this
- 4:34Speaker 2: is relevant in a nationwide.
- 4:35Speaker 3: Thing, and we know that.
- 4:39Speaker 2: This the way things are shaping up kind of in
- 4:42Speaker 2: Middle America, kind of some of these places like in
- 4:46Speaker 2: Michigan where we're seeing this push for it and this
- 4:50Speaker 2: Minnesota is obviously already out of control, but kind of reshaping,
- 4:55Speaker 2: kind of trying to change the way things happen in
- 4:59Speaker 2: the Democrat Party in these states. And I think it's
- 5:02Speaker 2: important from a national standpoint when you start looking at
- 5:06Speaker 2: the fact that and we've been talking about the fact
- 5:09Speaker 2: that the party is really pushing further to the left.
- 5:13Speaker 2: You have a lot of and I'm just going to
- 5:15Speaker 2: say it, there's a lot of cowardice when it comes
- 5:18Speaker 2: to some of the more left of center, mainstream, true
- 5:25Speaker 2: mainstream Democrats. Some are standing up to this, some are not.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Some have no problem with, like, we need them. We
- 5:33Speaker 2: run the risk if we don't include them in the party,
- 5:36Speaker 2: which you don't have to do, by the way, you
- 5:37Speaker 2: can always just say we don't want Democratic Socialists of
- 5:41Speaker 2: America to be part of the Democrat Party. But what
- 5:45Speaker 2: they run the risk of is they would alienate them.
- 5:49Speaker 2: They would maybe start their own party, and it would
- 5:52Speaker 2: obviously just cripple and take the absolute legs out from
- 5:56Speaker 2: under the Democrat Party. Because there are younger vote oters
- 6:00Speaker 2: who are falling for this just mindlessly. They're college professors,
- 6:05Speaker 2: and you know, in some cases high school professors. I
- 6:08Speaker 2: used to know a high school not professor, but a
- 6:11Speaker 2: high school teacher who bragged to me that he was
- 6:15Speaker 2: converting all of his students to Communism, one student at
- 6:17Speaker 2: a time. This was local, by the way, he's not
- 6:21Speaker 2: teaching now, but this was local, and he used to
- 6:24Speaker 2: brag about it all the time. So just keep in mind,
- 6:27Speaker 2: like it's one thing if you want to say, well,
- 6:29Speaker 2: we've got the alt far right people that are you know,
- 6:32Speaker 2: they're white supremacists and they're crazy, and then embrace the
- 6:37Speaker 2: alt left crazy people that are. You know, there have
- 6:42Speaker 2: been many occasions where people on the right have said,
- 6:45Speaker 2: we're not associating with those people on the far right.
- 6:47Speaker 3: That's not who we are.
- 6:50Speaker 2: And here's a good, good opportunity for many on the
- 6:53Speaker 2: left to say this is not who we are. We
- 6:56Speaker 2: are not this, this is not our party. You got
- 6:59Speaker 2: some modern that are going that are kind of doing
- 7:02Speaker 2: the Elon Musk move where they're saying, the line's pushing
- 7:06Speaker 2: so far left for the middle that you're going to
- 7:09Speaker 2: end up pushing us, and we're going to be on
- 7:10Speaker 2: the right, not pushing us, but it's just going to
- 7:12Speaker 2: move past us. And then all of a sudden, we're
- 7:15Speaker 2: going to be right of center and we didn't move.
- 7:19Speaker 2: You know, Bill Maher is not there yet, but he
- 7:21Speaker 2: kind of is starting to say that could happen.
- 7:23Speaker 3: Stephen A. Smith is starting to say that.
- 7:26Speaker 2: And he's a sports guy, and I know he's talked
- 7:28Speaker 2: about dabbling into this world of politics and saying he
- 7:31Speaker 2: might run for president, and he has kind of also
- 7:35Speaker 2: voiced some of this, Hey, we're going to see how
- 7:39Speaker 2: far this push is to the left and if we
- 7:41Speaker 2: are going to allow the party to go there, and
- 7:45Speaker 2: whether or not we're going to pursue these candidates in
- 7:50Speaker 2: the party. And they're scared, they don't know if younger
- 7:53Speaker 2: people are going to want to move on with them,
- 7:58Speaker 2: go elsewhere. I just think you have to draw a
- 8:01Speaker 2: line in the sand, and you have to tell people
- 8:02Speaker 2: this is not We're not going to tolerate this. This
- 8:05Speaker 2: is not what we're going to allow to happen in
- 8:07Speaker 2: our party. You know, go be an independent, go elsewhere,
- 8:11Speaker 2: do whatever it is that you got to do, but
- 8:14Speaker 2: you're not going to be part of the Democrat Party
- 8:16Speaker 2: and we're going to run and we're not.
- 8:17Speaker 3: Going to support you.
- 8:19Speaker 2: We're not going to send money your way from our donors.
- 8:24Speaker 2: And they're probably concerned about, you know, donors from the DSA,
- 8:30Speaker 2: A spectrum of all of this. But I mentioned all
- 8:33Speaker 2: this because again, we can't express enough how out of
- 8:39Speaker 2: touch the Democratic Socialists of America are and they seem
- 8:43Speaker 2: to be paving the way. One of two things with
- 8:47Speaker 2: this midterm election with some of these candidates, We're either
- 8:51Speaker 2: going to hear a resounding like this is what the
- 8:54Speaker 2: American voter wants now and it's terrifying and you better
- 8:59Speaker 2: believe it's not going to be good moving forward, or
- 9:04Speaker 2: this is going to be a huge embarrassment and a
- 9:07Speaker 2: lot of egg on the faces of Democrats who thought
- 9:10Speaker 2: they were ready for this big blue wave in this
- 9:14Speaker 2: midterm and more and more things seem to be pointing
- 9:19Speaker 2: to that for me, and that's not me coming at
- 9:22Speaker 2: this from a polling standpoint. I'm just I got people
- 9:25Speaker 2: in places they feel good about things. On the right,
- 9:29Speaker 2: they got there are a lot of uncertainty on the left,
- 9:34Speaker 2: and you know, there's still not a twenty twenty eight
- 9:38Speaker 2: serious candidate in the mix. When you start saying AOC
- 9:43Speaker 2: Kamala Harris or Jack Assoff, I mean John Ossoff are
- 9:48Speaker 2: the people that are being named, and you just go,
- 9:53Speaker 2: I just don't I don't know, I don't know, And
- 9:56Speaker 2: I'm not going to say that you know a person
- 9:59Speaker 2: who you wouldn't expect to be a candidate to be
- 10:03Speaker 2: able to win. We've seen that happen before. We saw
- 10:08Speaker 2: Trump's first win. We saw Trump's second win, that one
- 10:13Speaker 2: didn't seem as much of a shock to me. That
- 10:15Speaker 2: seemed more on par the Biden thing. You know, that
- 10:19Speaker 2: was COVID and we know what was going on there.
- 10:21Speaker 2: But there's certainly been campaigns where you just kind of
- 10:25Speaker 2: like didn't know what was going to happen. I didn't
- 10:27Speaker 2: really think that Obama was a real thing. I mean,
- 10:31Speaker 2: I understood the electricity. I just didn't know that Americans
- 10:35Speaker 2: were ready to vote for a guy named Barack who
- 10:38Speaker 2: sing Obama. That didn't seem like a real possibility. And
- 10:43Speaker 2: you know, just from a name standpoint, I'm glad that
- 10:48Speaker 2: wasn't going to hold him back.
- 10:49Speaker 3: I just didn't think we'd be there.
- 10:52Speaker 2: There's other things that have been obstacles, and people can
- 10:55Speaker 2: just say, well, people didn't want to vote for Hillary
- 10:57Speaker 2: Clinton because she was a woman. I know some people
- 11:00Speaker 2: who didn't vote for Hillary Clinton because she was a
- 11:01Speaker 2: woman of their Democrats and they voted for Trump. They're
- 11:04Speaker 2: probably were same people that would have voted, you know,
- 11:07Speaker 2: for Trump instead of Harris. But I think a lot
- 11:11Speaker 2: of people didn't vote for Harris because they just have
- 11:13Speaker 2: a lot of confidence in Harris, and I think they.
- 11:15Speaker 3: Knew that what Trump had been through was what Trump
- 11:16Speaker 3: had been through.
- 11:17Speaker 2: But anyway, I wanted just this thing in Uh, this
- 11:21Speaker 2: is just one of those perfect examples of not getting
- 11:24Speaker 2: it and certainly something that may be pointing in the
- 11:27Speaker 2: right direction. So the Mike Rogers campaign, the Republican who
- 11:33Speaker 2: is running for Senate in Michigan, and this is one
- 11:34Speaker 2: of those seats that people go, yeah, the.
- 11:36Speaker 3: Democrats could grab this one. This is a possibility.
- 11:39Speaker 2: This is Michigan, Michigan. Okay, when you think Michigan, what
- 11:45Speaker 2: are the things? When you think Detroit, what do you
- 11:47Speaker 2: think historically? What has Michigan been known for? All Right,
- 11:56Speaker 2: So he has a campaign ad Mike Rogers, and it's
- 12:00Speaker 2: him in an antique red Ford pickup truck and it's
- 12:06Speaker 2: you know, this antique classic. It's a gorgeous looking truck,
- 12:10Speaker 2: whitewall tires. It's got the Mike Rogers sign on the
- 12:14Speaker 2: side of it and American flags all over it and
- 12:20Speaker 2: Toby Keith's American Ride playing. And the post that was
- 12:26Speaker 2: put online it says, got to love this American Ride.
- 12:28Speaker 2: No better way to do the Woodward Dream cruise. And
- 12:33Speaker 2: this is done from the Mike Rogers campaign.
- 12:35Speaker 3: All right. So Mike Rodgers for Senate. So this.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Is hitting right in all the places that you'd want
- 12:45Speaker 2: to hit for an ad in Michigan. To me, I mean,
- 12:50Speaker 2: I'm not an expert on this, but when I saw it,
- 12:53Speaker 2: I thought, this is hitting right where they need to hit.
- 12:56Speaker 2: This is this is a dead on the money ad
- 13:01Speaker 2: in Michigan for Mike Rogers getting a positive response in general.
- 13:08Speaker 2: So one of his opponent in the Senate, in the
- 13:13Speaker 2: Democrat for Senate, Abdul l Sayed, and one of his
- 13:18Speaker 2: staffers decided to get on social media on x and say,
- 13:24Speaker 2: Mike Rogers campaign has the aesthetics of a nineteen sixties
- 13:29Speaker 2: white flight suburb and a KKK crossburning. So this is
- 13:38Speaker 2: Mason Presler and that is the political manager for l
- 13:42Speaker 2: Sayed in northern Michigan. The Rogers campaign quickly jumped on
- 13:50Speaker 2: this post and said that Presler think Mason Presler thinks
- 13:57Speaker 2: driving a Michigan made for a truck is a kin
- 13:59Speaker 2: to the k KK and the campaign saying old Ford
- 14:03Speaker 2: trucks is basically one of the things that El Sayed hates,
- 14:10Speaker 2: another thing that he hates on top of all of
- 14:13Speaker 2: the other great things about America. It's an interesting like
- 14:16Speaker 2: this game that we're playing about the clan. Anything coming
- 14:23Speaker 2: from the Democrat Party is laughable really when you want
- 14:26Speaker 2: to start really digging into all this clan speak and
- 14:31Speaker 2: just missing, missing so badly on this now and in
- 14:37Speaker 2: the defense of the El Sayed campaign, they said that
- 14:41Speaker 2: this guy is posting on his own he's not posting
- 14:43Speaker 2: on behalf of the campaign. That's a convenient excuse to
- 14:47Speaker 2: just have you know, he's not speaking for us. That's
- 14:52Speaker 2: not what he's doing. He's not speaking on our behalf.
- 14:57Speaker 2: He is speaking on his own behalf for him. That's
- 15:00Speaker 2: his opinion. So that's gonna be and that'll be the
- 15:04Speaker 2: convenient thing too, when you know Hassan Piker and all
- 15:08Speaker 2: those people, when it really starts to get down to
- 15:11Speaker 2: crunch time on election day, when you have these controversial people,
- 15:15Speaker 2: that that'll be the They don't speak for everybody. They
- 15:18Speaker 2: just speak for themselves. They're not speaking for our campaigns
- 15:22Speaker 2: who have been leaning on this guy for support.
- 15:25Speaker 3: That's all it is.
- 15:27Speaker 2: It's not really it. You know, we love Ford, we
- 15:31Speaker 2: love for it. We love the aesthetics of the KKK.
- 15:33Speaker 2: That's what we that's what we love. It's interesting. You know,
- 15:40Speaker 2: it's interesting that this is the same people with this again,
- 15:46Speaker 2: Hassan Piker who thinks that uh, you know, Mao and
- 15:50Speaker 2: communist China was great and that America deserved nine to eleven.
- 15:53Speaker 2: These are the people that l Saied has around him,
- 15:56Speaker 2: and one of them thinks that a red Ford pickup
- 15:59Speaker 2: truck with American flags on it represents the Klan. Get
- 16:02Speaker 2: ready for Dragon Con forty. It's the fortieth Dragon Con
- 16:08Speaker 2: and it happens Labor Day weekend in downtown Atlanta September

- 19:38Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
- 19:41Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular

- 20:07Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 20:10Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 20:12Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 20:15Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 20:19Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
- 20:22Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes
- 20:26Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 20:29Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 20:32Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 20:34Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 20:38Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 20:41Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 20:43Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
- 20:45Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 20:47Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 20:50Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 20:53Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 20:55Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
- 20:58Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
- 21:02Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred

- 21:08Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right after
- 21:12Speaker 2: the break, well, are you familiar with the seven seven
- 21:24Speaker 2: seven rule?
- 21:25Speaker 3: Not the tax thing?
- 21:27Speaker 2: This is when it comes to dating, and it's a
- 21:30Speaker 2: relationship trend that is catch on. It became the nine
- 21:34Speaker 2: to nine to nine the tax thing at some point,
- 21:36Speaker 2: isn't it anyway?
- 21:38Speaker 3: So here's the guideline.
- 21:39Speaker 2: They say, Well, help a couple stay connected, all right,
- 21:44Speaker 2: and I assume this would be any phase of the relationship,
- 21:47Speaker 2: but obviously when you get to the the you know,
- 21:50Speaker 2: the later sevens, you can kind of go, yeah, this
- 21:53Speaker 2: is probably a little bit more serious relationship, But here
- 21:56Speaker 2: we go. They say that you should have a date
- 21:58Speaker 2: night every seven day, and a special outing or an
- 22:03Speaker 2: overnight stay every seven weeks, and then an extended getaway
- 22:08Speaker 2: every seven months. Relationship experts say that it's less about
- 22:12Speaker 2: strictly following the numbers and more about making quality time
- 22:15Speaker 2: a priority. So the goal is to avoid letting work
- 22:20Speaker 2: kids schedules everyday routines push the relationship to the back burner.
- 22:24Speaker 2: Supporters of the rule say regular shared expenses help couple
- 22:27Speaker 2: stay connected, create new memories, and keep the relationship from
- 22:31Speaker 2: slipping into autopilot. That sounds nice, I mean it makes sense.
- 22:36Speaker 2: And every seven days, as far as the date night goes,
- 22:39Speaker 2: I think that's attainable for most people. And then you know,
- 22:43Speaker 2: a special outing every seven weeks that's typically attainable. Extended
- 22:48Speaker 2: get away every seven months. That may be a little
- 22:51Speaker 2: bit harder when you consider vacation schedules, but you know,
- 22:54Speaker 2: it could probably make that work. Makes sense if you've
- 22:57Speaker 2: ever needed a reason to skip the elevator. A new
- 23:00Speaker 2: study says that regularly climbing stairs can lower your risk
- 23:03Speaker 2: of dying from heart disease by thirty nine percent. I
- 23:07Speaker 2: don't know where these percentages come from, but they do
- 23:10Speaker 2: these studies and then they come up with these very
- 23:12Speaker 2: specific numbers, and you are right, thirty nine percent.
- 23:15Speaker 3: There you go.
- 23:16Speaker 2: Researchers review data for more than four hundred and eighty
- 23:19Speaker 2: thousand people and found that those who routinely took the
- 23:22Speaker 2: stairs were also twenty four percent less likely to die
- 23:26Speaker 2: from any cause and had lower risks of heart attack, stroke,
- 23:31Speaker 2: and heart failure. Experts say stair climbing one of the
- 23:34Speaker 2: easiest ways to sneak in exercise into your day. No
- 23:37Speaker 2: gym membership, no special equipment needed or special workout schedule required.
- 23:44Speaker 3: That all makes sense. We've heard that before. Take the stairs.
- 23:47Speaker 2: You know, does it count if you go down the stairs,
- 23:50Speaker 2: Because it doesn't say oh, it does say climbing down
- 23:53Speaker 2: the stairs. I can definitely do so. If you ever
- 23:57Speaker 2: put off the things that would improve your life, speaking
- 24:00Speaker 2: of things like taking the stairs to have a thirty
- 24:03Speaker 2: nine percent less risk of heart disease, but you put
- 24:08Speaker 2: things off because they seem like too much work, and
- 24:10Speaker 2: that's pretty common. New survey found sixty percent of those
- 24:13Speaker 2: responding have put off making changes to their home, their health,
- 24:17Speaker 2: or their career because they figured the effort wouldn't be
- 24:21Speaker 2: worth the payoff. Commonly postponed tasks include starting a new
- 24:25Speaker 2: fitness routine, climbing the stairs, no, but that would be
- 24:29Speaker 2: part of that, decluttering, redecorating home repairs, even applying for
- 24:34Speaker 2: a new job. Funny thing is when people actually did
- 24:37Speaker 2: take action, seventy percent said the results were better than expected,
- 24:41Speaker 2: and that nearly two thirds wished that they had done
- 24:44Speaker 2: it sooner.
- 24:45Speaker 3: That probably checks.
- 24:46Speaker 2: Nothing about that surprises me, Nothing about that at all
- 24:51Speaker 2: surprises me. That all seems pretty much on par for
- 24:54Speaker 2: where I would expect things to be.
- 24:57Speaker 3: Right.
- 24:58Speaker 2: So, Virgin the Galactic is asking the public to help
- 25:02Speaker 2: them pick the official name for its brand new spaceship.
- 25:06Speaker 2: They have put some limits to it so that they
- 25:09Speaker 2: can avoid another body mcboat face mess. The company gathered
- 25:14Speaker 2: nearly three hundred submissions from staff and customers who bought
- 25:17Speaker 2: tickets to space narrow the field down to four finalists, Horizon, Explorer, Ascend,
- 25:25Speaker 2: and a Peerion. Now public voting is open, and that
- 25:31Speaker 2: It'll happen online through the twenty seventh of August to
- 25:35Speaker 2: pick the winning name. The new spacecraft, designed to fly
- 25:38Speaker 2: up to eight missions a month, is set to start
- 25:41Speaker 2: test flights in October and should start blasting paying passengers
- 25:46Speaker 2: into space by early next year. So there you go.
- 25:50Speaker 2: Which one of those is the ASCEND? I kind of
- 25:53Speaker 2: like if I were voting, I would vote on Ascend.
- 25:57Speaker 2: I don't think any I don't think any of those
- 25:58Speaker 2: are bad, but I do think.
- 26:01Speaker 3: A send would be my vote. I don't know whatever
- 26:03Speaker 3: you think.
- 26:04Speaker 2: According to a new study, man who drink more coffee
- 26:07Speaker 2: every day show significantly higher total testosterone levels compared to
- 26:11Speaker 2: those who drink little or no coffee whimps, even after
- 26:16Speaker 2: factoring in weight, smoking, exercise, and alcohol intake. Researchers also
- 26:21Speaker 2: found that heavy coffee drinkers tended to have less body
- 26:24Speaker 2: fat and more muscle mass. It's not clear if coffee
- 26:29Speaker 2: actually boosts testosterone or if guys with higher testosterone just
- 26:32Speaker 2: happened to crave more coffee, but there certainly is a
- 26:35Speaker 2: connection and that will lead to more research. You know,
- 26:40Speaker 2: that's enough, I think to get the funding for the research.
- 26:44Speaker 2: That's what they need. They just just need the funding
- 26:46Speaker 2: for the next phase of the research. Hey, that'll do
- 26:48Speaker 2: it for this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks to
