  Speaker 2: Friday morning, third day of April. I'm West Thanks for
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: joining me. Good Friday. Rolling into Easter weekend. No Easter Monday. Sorry,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: still think we are not doing ourselves a service by
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: not having Easter Monday as a holiday. So many places
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: around the world do we don't do it. For whatever reason,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: we just don't do it. I guess they think we
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: have too many holidays. Some of these other holidays are
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: much more important than I don't know, Easter, so that's
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: what we do. But anyway, it is Easter weekend. It's
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: also many schools in our main primary home base area
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: are winding down on spring break, and I guess this
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: is the end of spring break for the kids in
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the area. I don't know they got about what are
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: we at? Five more weeks of school, six more weeks,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: somewhere in that range, depending on you know your school
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: district and what's going on. It's coming up fast. It
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: is coming up fast this end of this school year,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: so brace yourself for that because this will be very
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: much a you know, on the other side of spring break,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: teachers have it rough. Kids start shutting down. If you've
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: got kids that are doing any kind of end of
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: year testing, that stuff will be kind of the official
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: beginning of the end. But we are definitely wrapping up
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: this twenty twenty five twenty twenty six school year rapidly,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and it's it's going down. So yeah, enjoy these last
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: couple of days if you are still on spring break.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I know many in the area have already gone back
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: to school, so many wrapping things up this week, some
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: still traveling. Some had the advantage of being on the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Florida coast as the rocket was launching. I got lots
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: of friends who were like, we were just going to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: be here anyway. This was great. So that's how it
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: goes sometimes. And on a good Friday, you know, people
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: have been wrapping up. If he gave up something for LNT.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I have a son who said he was going to
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: give up ketch up for LNT, and I believe it
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: or not, he got there. He's a ketchup addict. I
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: mean he inherited that. I guess for me at his age,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I was definitely eating a lot of it, so much
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: so that he was eating something for dinner last night
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: and he said, I'm I'm gonna wait until sunset because
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I want to have ketch up with this. So that's dedication.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, he could have given up, you know, when
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the sun was still up and just eating it and
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: just told himself, well, this is close enough. But that's dedication.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I give him that. So I'm impressed with that. And
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: my wonderful bride, my lovely, amazing wife, is back on
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: sweets now. She had given up sweets for Lent, so's
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: she's good. She did that I guess over Christmas or
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: at some point during Christmas. She was able to do
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: maybe the beginning of the year, right after Christmas. It'd
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: be really hard to do it at Christmas time. And
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: she did that again. So she's kind of done a
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: second cycle of giving up sweets. And I know she's
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: healthier and better off for it, but she's able to.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I guess maybe she had some dessert last night. I
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: didn't really notice. I wasn't keeping tabs on it. It
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: is Friday, and it is time for some strange and
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: bizarre news from around the world, but not before we
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: do a couple of positive news stories on Good Friday.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I almost thought about doing all good news stories for
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Good Friday, but like you like the other stuff, so
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: we'll do that too. You know. Artemis two has been
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: making its way to the Moon, and one of the
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: things that they took on board besides the four person crew,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the Rise. It was a baseball cap wearing plushy designed
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: by Lucas Ye, a second grader from Mountain View, California,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: serving as the missions official zero gravity indicator. The stuffed
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: animal was the first to let the crew know they
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: had reached orbit the moment that it began to float
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: freely in the cabin. Rise was selected from over twenty
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: six hundred global entries and was inspired by the iconic
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: earth Rise photo taken during the original Apollo missions. For
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Lucas the Ultimate Show and tell honor to have a
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: hand drawn dream that has turned into an act thing
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: that will circle the moon. And this is something that
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: this is a common thing you take up usually just
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: some kind of a plushi or stuffed animals. I believe
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: that some of the earlier missions that were doing this
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: just kind of did it on their own, and then
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: it became sort of a thing to use it as
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: a way to incorporate a kid like in this case.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know if this is how many times that
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: they've done this, but it's a cool story and really
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: really nice story to go along with this mission. And
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: by the way, not only is Rise making the trip
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: around the Moon, but if you were one of those
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: people and I advised you on this on this show
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and on NTE of Stars, if you were one of
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the people who submitted your name to take a trip
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: around the moon with the crew, it's also on board
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: on a thumb drive. So if you did that, then
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: your name has success fully launched it as well on
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: its way to the Moon at this point. So there
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you go. Let's do this. Is we hear so much
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: bad stuff, bad publicity for athletes or the way that
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the sports organization that they play for, the league that
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: they play for, handling when people try to be good.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: We know that's just been going on in the NBA,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: But this is a good story about a young player
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: in the NFL. Drake May just finished his second season
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: for the Patriots and it just played in the Super Bowl.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's pretty good for your second season in
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the NFL. And he is working on doing things to
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: make an impact off the field as well. He and
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: his wife and Michael just launched their own charity group,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the may Day Family Foundation, to support children and families
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: facing hardships. Drake and and Michael have already I don't
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: know it's Michael or Michelle, but it's spelled like Michael
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: already hit the ground running with a three year pledge
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: to fund a childlife therapist at Boston Children's Hospital, helping
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: young patients navigate emotional challenges of cancer treatment through play
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: and art. They hope to make an impact in all
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: lives in the Boston area as well as their home
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: state of North Carolina that's where he was a tar
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: heel when he was in college, focusing on providing the
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: resources family's need for a brighter future. They also have
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: something fun to look forward to and are hosting a
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: celebrity softball game in May that's may m a y
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: not m Aye how he spells his name, and they're
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: going to have a home run, derby and fireworks, all
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: with the goal of raising money for their charity efforts.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: So nice job to both of them, And yes, we
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: need to hear some positivity. I know there's a lot
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: of athletes that have different programs and they get those
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Walter Payton Man of the Year awards and things. But
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: that's nice, and it's nice that he's doing it to
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: two areas that he's had an impact or had an
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: impact on him, and that he's playing in those areas. Okay,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: let's do this strange and bizarre news from around the world,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: and we begin in Oregon, where an attorney is being
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: fined after he was caught submitting a legal brief filled
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: with information that he made up with artificial intelligence. An
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: appellate court has ordered Bill Your Show to pay ten
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars after finding that his opening brief contained multiple
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: fabrications and an opinion filed March eighteenth, judges said the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: document included fifteen citations and nine quotes that were contrived
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: from thin air. He also told the court that he
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: was dealing with serious health issues at the time that
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the brief was filed, and he said he delegated some
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: research work to staff and did not personally verify the
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: material before submitting it. The court ordered him to file
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: a corrected brief and pay the fine within three weeks.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: This is it the first case in Oregon of its kind.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Back in December, another attorney was fined two thousand dollars
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: after an appellate court found that he had cited made
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: up cases and fabricated quotes, also relying on AI. So
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: it's not just teachers that have to keep an eye
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: on this, it's also you know, judges who would have
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: guessed that the same thing that can be used to,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: you know, make videos of people singing songs that nobody
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: really asked for the video of I mean, I get it,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: if you go, I would take a video of my
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: family photo and have us all singing a song together.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: That's fine, But I don't need to see people from
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: old classic sitcoms. I don't need to see, you know,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Lucile and Ricky Lucy and Ricky Lucille Ball and Ricky
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Ricardo singing Don't Go Breaking my Heart by old John A.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Kiki D.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: We don't need that. There's no reason for that, right,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: but it keeps popping up in my feet.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know why.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: So the same service that can do that can apparently
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: just make up stuff for you for you know, you
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: could lead, you could lead a lot of a lot
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: of protests and quest for rights by just making up
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: stuff and stealing it too. But now there's AI makes
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: it even easier, I guess, But then you get caught
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: if you're a lawyer. All right. New zoo that was
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: supposed to open in Albuquerque, New Mexico, earlier this week,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: officials suddenly had a trunkload of reasons not to do it.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Just hours before abq Biopark was supposed to open, staff
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: noticed that Alice, a fifty two year old Asian la elephant,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: had gone for a walk outside of her enclosure, somehow
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: pushed through the part of the steel barrier to get out.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Officials found her on a public walkway, casually out for
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: a stroll. Emergency protocols were quickly put into place. Keeper
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: safely guided Alice back without incident. She was checked by
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: vetstaff and later returned with her daughter, Rosie. The zoo
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: says that repairs are now underway and the elephant area
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: remain closed for a couple of days while fencing is reinforced.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Officials say at no point was the public in any
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: real danger. I mean, unless you count the possibility of
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: encountering an elephant just just out walking the streets. But
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: obviously this is a pretty team elephant. If they're saying
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: there was no real danger. A woman who made a
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: ball escape from police custody in West Michigan back behind bars.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Authority say the woman was caught on a bystander cell
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: phone video slipping out of a patrol car window while
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: handcuffed over the weekend and was recaptured. The Muskegon County
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Prosecutor's Office confirms that thirty eight year old Kendra Any
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: was back in custody by Tuesday morning. The video showed
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: her squeezing through a partially open window of a police vehicle,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: lowering herself to the ground, and then running off, still
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: in handcuffs. It started Saturday afternoon when officers spotted a
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: car parked at an abandoned business. When they approached the vehicle,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: one passenger later to find as Any couldn't provide identification.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Fingerprint scanner confirmed Anie had an outstanding parole violation warrant,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: and she was arrested placed in the back of the
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: patrol car, but before officers realized what was happening, Anie
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: slipped out and started to run. About an hour later,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: they say she broke into a home and remained on
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: the run until she was captured Tuesday morning and now
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: being held on parole violation along with the breaking and
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: entering charge to go on top of it. So it's bold.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I don't understand why the window was down. That doesn't
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: seem like a smart move from a law enforcement of
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: enforcement standpoint. I don't know. Maybe there's a maybe it
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: was just hot that day. I don't know. A Kentucky
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: maybe they don't have air conditioning and their police cars
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: in Michigan, I don't know. In Kentucky. A man who
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: made headlines a year ago when he won a massive
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Powerball jackpot got arrested in Florida for kicking a police officer.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Now back in the headlines, this time for burglarizing a house.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Police in Lexington's say fifty one year old James Farthing,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: a career criminal who won one hundred and sixty seven
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: million dollars a year ago in the power Ball, hasn't
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: grit given up his criminal life. He broke into a
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: home over the weekend, stealing twelve thousand in cash. Police
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: say surveillance video showed Farthing entering the house and then
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: driving away in a black Porsche. Officers later stopped him
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: and reported finding marijuana in the car. It's Farthing's third
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: arrest since winning the lottery. Since his in he's also
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: faced charges in Florida for assaulting a hotel guest and
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: a deputy, plus other cases in Kentucky that are still
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: pending far than currently being held in the Fayette County
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Detention Center as all of his cases will move forward.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: So there's a Florida tie there. I don't know that
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I've actually got a true Florida story this week, but
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: that has a Florida tie because of the throwback. So
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: all right, Authorities in Europe hoping for a break in
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: a case the missing Kitcat Bar is more than four
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: hundred thousand kit Cat bars were stolen after a truck
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: carrying twelve tons of candy remember this while headed from
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Italy to a distribution site in Poland. Nestle says the
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: stolen chocolate could turn up on unofficial markets, but each
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: bar has a batch code that can help track it.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: The company joked that the thieves took the slogan have
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: a break too literally, while warning that cargo theft is
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: a growing problem across Europe. Nesli added, whilst we appreciate
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: the criminal's exceptional taste, the fact remains that cargo theft
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: is an escalating issue for businesses of all sizes. So yeah,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: they are good, though, I mean, I don't know what
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: you're gonna do with that many of them other than
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: sell them. But it seems like a strange thing to
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: be like, Hey, I found a box of these fell
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: off a truck and all the serial numbers were scraped off. Oh.
• 15:30

• 18:00
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking

• 18:17
  Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thtory five eight forty five

  Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: after the break. Are you a member of gen Z
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: still getting some kind of help or support from your parents?
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Are you a parent of a Zen gen Z or
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Z whichever one of those gen Z child who is
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: giving support to your kids? Well, a new You're not alone.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: First of all, a new Fortune report says about sixty
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: four percent of parents with gen Z kids say that
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: their adult children are still relying on them for financial support,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: and more than half admit that it is putting a
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: strain on their own budgets. Contrary to the stereotype, parents
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: aren't funding lavish lifestyles for their kids. They're pitching in
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: on rent bills and essentials. While gen Z deals with
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: high costs, sluggish entry level hiring wages that haven't kept up,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: and parents are seeing it as a living inheritance, helping
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: now when young people really need it instead of decades
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: down the line. The issue, though, is silence. Experts say
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: financial stress often comes from unclear expectation. So if money's
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: changing hands, you need to talk it through. Is it
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: a gift or alone? How long will it last? What
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: happens if circumstances change. Because support isn't the problem. Confusion
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: is the problem. So just keep that in mind if
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: you are doing that, and if you're doing it exclusively
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: as a gift or you know, the living inheritance or
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: whatever it's called, just make that clear if that's what
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: you're doing. So a lot of young adults speaking of
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: situations with you know, parents and helping out their kids.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Apparently a lot of young adults are treating their parents'
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: house like a long term storage unit after they move out.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: A new survey says most people move out for the
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: first time around the age of twenty three, and they
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: can only take about half of their things with them.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: So what happens to the stuff that's left behind, Well,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: it gets tossed or just left behind with the parents.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Ninety two percent of those surveys said they've left behind
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: at least one of their belongings with their parents. Forty
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: one percent. I would say it should be higher than
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: ninety two. I know that's a high number, but most
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: people I would think have left at least something behind
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: almost everybody. Forty one percent said that they've left it
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: there for safe keeping, while twenty five percent said they
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: leave things there in case they need them later. On average,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: people leave nine boxes or large items at a home
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: with their parents after moving out. Thirty percent say that
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: they have plans to clear out their stuff within a year.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Forty four percent have plans but aren't sure when they'll
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: get around to it. There are twenty seven percent who
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: have no plans to ever get their things out of
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: their parents' house whatsoever, at least not while the parents
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: are still living. You know, there is a definitive end
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: there at some point point where you're gonna have to
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: get your stuff out at some stage, I guess, unless
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: you're planning to move back into their house. I don't know.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Many adults go to extremes so look younger than they are.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: But would you describe yourself as an aging prevnter. It's
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: a term being used now by researchers in a new
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: YUGAV poll to describe people who say it's more important
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: to slow or prevent the signs of aging on your body.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Survey found about thirty percent of Americans are aging preventers.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: About thirty percent say they're mostly indifferent about how they
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: look as they get older, and roughly a quarter take
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: a middle of the road maintenance approach. The biggest difference
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: shows up in spending. Aging preventers are far more likely
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: to put real money behind their goals. Nearly twenty percent
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: spend more than fifty dollars a month on skincare supplements
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: anti aging products. While awareness of treatments like botox and
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: led masks is high, actual use remain with people sticking
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: with basic skin care. I think once you start committing
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: the higher budget items, that's when you're starting to get
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: really serious, and maybe that's when you sort of transition
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: over into that other category that they're talking about. Traffic
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: lights haven't changed much in a century, but researchers at
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: North Carolina State University say it's time to add a
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: fourth color to the mix, and that color is white.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: The new signal would specifically work with the rise of
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: self driving vehicles, acting as a go sign for the
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: robot hive mind, where self driving cars communicate with each
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: other to coordinate traffic flow. When the light is white
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: and it's active, it would signal to human drivers to
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: simply follow the car in front of them, allowing the
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: AI driven cars to operate at the most efficient speed
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: and spacing. During the test, the white phase could reduce
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: traffic delays by over ten percent, which would be nice.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of people aren't happy with the
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: self driving cars. I know there could be some bad
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: effects to it. I just get kind of excited at
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: the thought of, you know, being able to nap in
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: the car while you're on a long car trip. I mean,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: if you're brave enough. But if the cars are doing
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: what they're supposed to be doing, I don't know. I
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: just had a long car trip from the Florida Coast
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: in a car that was doing I mean, not self driving,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: but doing a lot of the driving for me. Made
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: it a lot easier. Twenty twenty six International Pizza Expo
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: wrapped up a few days ago in Vegas, and it
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: looks like the pizza business is headed for a high tech,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: high protein makeover, with owners of Pizza Reas investing in
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: AI voice and chat ordering systems, as well as other
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: automation system to handle surging sales on the menu, the
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: protein craze is heading towards a massive comeback. We have
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: heavy meat toppings like brisket, chreizo, often paired with trendy
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: flavors like hot honey and Calabrian. Is that how you
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: say that Calabrian Chili's I guess that's what it is, Calabrian.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: I should be able to say that, shouldn't I? I
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: wanted to say Calabrian, but that's that's not I was
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: going into Caribbean, I think. And a bunch of those
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: different styles being offered, Detroit style deep Dish, to Sicilian,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: to Grandma which is a thin, rectangular pan baked pizza
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: with a crispy, almost fried crust. The best ones to
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: get at the buffets. Let's be honest. Those are the best,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: at least the best value for money if you're going
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: in there. It's interesting, though, as people are saying that
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: you are showing white privilege by ordering meat and that
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: you don't care about the environment. So it's interesting that
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: that is a trend that's growing as I guess it's
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: just making people go crazy. They'll get some of those
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: you know, printed signs. People will show up outside the
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: pizza restaurants with the pre printed signs, so they can
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: do this, you know, grassroots protest to the meats. Maybe
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: they could do that, but that's the trends where pizza
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: is going. Those people will like it or not. That'll
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: do it for this Friday edition of the show. Thanks
