- 0:13Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, ninth day of September. I'm Wes. Thanks for
- 0:20Speaker 2: joining me. I'm going to make a note. Got a
- 0:23Speaker 2: friend I got to text today. That whole 9-9 thing
- 0:26Speaker 2: kind of crept up on me. It's what happens when
- 0:29Speaker 2: DragonCon's so late in the year. It's kind of late
- 0:31Speaker 2: in the year next year as well, as it'll still
- 0:35Speaker 2: be in September. It just won't be quiet. It'll be
- 0:39Speaker 2: like a day, a day earlier. That's the way it's
- 0:42Speaker 2: going to work next year. But anyway, we're not going
- 0:45Speaker 2: to talk a whole lot about DragonCon other than remind
- 0:47Speaker 2: you to check out DragonCon pregame show powered by Columbus
- 0:51Speaker 2: State University's Coca-Cola Space Science Center. on the DragonCon pregame
- 0:56Speaker 2: show podcast. Wherever you get this podcast, you can find
- 1:00Speaker 2: that podcast. Interviews from this year, interviews from past years,
- 1:05Speaker 2: various celebrity interviews, including Zachary Levi, who I had a
- 1:09Speaker 2: great conversation with years ago, and kind of at the
- 1:12Speaker 2: beginning of things starting to change for him, I think,
- 1:16Speaker 2: in a lot of ways. One of those people who,
- 1:19Speaker 2: not quite your standard Hollywood leftist by any means, definitely
- 1:26Speaker 2: came over to the Trump side of things, not because
- 1:29Speaker 2: of Trump, but because of RFK Jr. and other things. Now,
- 1:32Speaker 2: at this point, we weren't talking about that, but we
- 1:35Speaker 2: were talking about mental health and some other things that
- 1:37Speaker 2: probably led him in the direction of RFK as a supporter. Also,
- 1:42Speaker 2: William Shatner, Evangeline Lilly. This year's show featured my interview
- 1:47Speaker 2: with Tricia Helfer from Battlestar Galactica. Last year, Katie Sackhoff
- 1:52Speaker 2: from Battlestar Galactica. Those two were the best of friends.
- 1:56Speaker 2: And we talked a little bit about that on this
- 1:57Speaker 2: year's show. But Katie Sackhoff, also part of the Star
- 2:00Speaker 2: Wars universe. Check out all those interviews galore from Dragon
- 2:05Speaker 2: Cons and plenty more at that on the Dragon Con
- 2:08Speaker 2: pregame show podcast. My other big adventure from the past week,
- 2:14Speaker 2: and this is just kind of on the way up
- 2:17Speaker 2: to Dragon Con. I don't think I talked about this yesterday,
- 2:20Speaker 2: but on the way up on Thursday of last week,
- 2:24Speaker 2: we had to make a stop on the way up.
- 2:27Speaker 2: My brother Matt and I were going up with my
- 2:29Speaker 2: friend Sarah. The three of us were riding up together.
- 2:32Speaker 2: And we had this message from my mom, who lives
- 2:38Speaker 2: along the way. And she basically said that she was
- 2:42Speaker 2: having issues with, well, it wasn't quite as we were leaving.
- 2:45Speaker 2: I had time to actually prepare a little bit for this.
- 2:48Speaker 2: But she let me know that she was having an
- 2:51Speaker 2: issue with something with her toilet, one of her toilets.
- 2:54Speaker 2: And so we stopped to take care of that for
- 2:56Speaker 2: her quickly. Being good sons that we are. And Sarah
- 3:01Speaker 2: being a good friend to my mom. So we stopped
- 3:05Speaker 2: and took care of that. And it was a quick, like,
- 3:08Speaker 2: let's get this thing taken care of. Replace the innards.
- 3:12Speaker 2: I didn't have time to even analyze anything. I just
- 3:14Speaker 2: took the innards of the toilet with me. brand new
- 3:18Speaker 2: and said, I'm going to do this and then we're
- 3:20Speaker 2: going to get out of here. And that's what we
- 3:22Speaker 2: did because we were hustling to get up to DragonCon.
- 3:26Speaker 2: That was Thursday. Yesterday, I spent a large chunk of
- 3:30Speaker 2: my day repairing a toilet in my own home. I
- 3:34Speaker 2: had gotten a message at DragonCon there was an issue
- 3:37Speaker 2: with one of our toilets. And it's the toilet that
- 3:41Speaker 2: the boys use. So, uh, one of them messaged me
- 3:45Speaker 2: and said, Hey, it's, it's, it's doing something weird. It's
- 3:48Speaker 2: making a noise in there and it seems to just
- 3:49Speaker 2: be running water and all that. So, uh, I had
- 3:52Speaker 2: to take care of that yesterday. And that one was
- 3:55Speaker 2: a little tricky. Many years ago, I had put in
- 3:59Speaker 2: one of those, uh, you know, the two, two different
- 4:01Speaker 2: type flush systems in it. And that was a bit
- 4:04Speaker 2: of a fight for me. Who's not a very experienced plumber,
- 4:08Speaker 2: but you know, Uh, this time I was switching it
- 4:12Speaker 2: back to like the regular, cause they don't, you can
- 4:14Speaker 2: still get those, but it's a little tricky and it
- 4:16Speaker 2: was not great. I was excited when I got the
- 4:20Speaker 2: other one because that's what they use in Australia. It's,
- 4:23Speaker 2: it just conserves water and you can do like, you know,
- 4:26Speaker 2: like a half flush and a full flush. I don't
- 4:29Speaker 2: need to be more specific than that. Uh, but anyway, it,
- 4:32Speaker 2: it just wasn't quite. what I thought it was going
- 4:35Speaker 2: to be as far as, uh, you know, the reliability
- 4:38Speaker 2: of how it worked. It did fine. We used it
- 4:41Speaker 2: for many years. Uh, but then the half flush part
- 4:45Speaker 2: of it broke and then we just, it was like,
- 4:48Speaker 2: what's the point? So I thought, well, let's just switch
- 4:50Speaker 2: it to the other system because that's what we need
- 4:53Speaker 2: to go. Just go to another, another, uh, system altogether, uh,
- 4:56Speaker 2: back kind of a more old school, not old school,
- 4:59Speaker 2: but kind of, uh, like the new one that they're
- 5:01Speaker 2: using instead of the old school. But I had this
- 5:04Speaker 2: moment yesterday where I was in the store and I
- 5:07Speaker 2: was buying it and I was talking to Jill and
- 5:09Speaker 2: I said, I'm getting the innards to fix the toilet.
- 5:11Speaker 2: And I said, I'm basically a plumber now. I mean,
- 5:15Speaker 2: if in a week, in the span of a week,
- 5:17Speaker 2: I have to repair two toilets, you know, I'm plumbing.
- 5:21Speaker 2: That's what I'm doing. I've plumbed twice in less than
- 5:25Speaker 2: a week. So that was a big part of my
- 5:27Speaker 2: day yesterday. And I'm just sharing that because apparently... You know,
- 5:33Speaker 2: and we know, we all know plumbers make really good money.
- 5:36Speaker 2: So if you need, you know, if you need somebody
- 5:40Speaker 2: to come over and plum, I'm available. I don't know
- 5:45Speaker 2: that I've earned plumber money yet. I know that I
- 5:47Speaker 2: have not, but I'm just saying that plumber money sounds good.
- 5:53Speaker 2: It's one of those jobs that's not going to be
- 5:54Speaker 2: affected by AI. Hey, I got a cool story coming
- 5:58Speaker 2: up a little bit later about a guy who's figured
- 6:00Speaker 2: out a way to use AI against itself. And this
- 6:04Speaker 2: isn't just that, like, I'm going to ask it a
- 6:06Speaker 2: question that it can't answer. No, no, no. He has
- 6:08Speaker 2: come up with something that basically is camouflage from AI.
- 6:13Speaker 2: So stick around for that coming up a little bit later.
- 6:16Speaker 2: I'm excited about sharing that one with you. All right.
- 6:19Speaker 2: I haven't talked about anybody on The View in a while.
- 6:23Speaker 2: I know we touched a little bit on the view
- 6:25Speaker 2: when the whole FCC thing was happening or getting started
- 6:29Speaker 2: and all the people freaking out. Well, ABC can do
- 6:33Speaker 2: whatever they want to do. They have no obligation to
- 6:36Speaker 2: the citizens of the country. Just do whatever you want
- 6:39Speaker 2: to do. Say whatever you want. There's no need to
- 6:42Speaker 2: be even remotely fair and balanced or anything for the
- 6:47Speaker 2: American people. We just do whatever we want to do.
- 6:49Speaker 2: And one of those things is. On The View, we
- 6:52Speaker 2: can have whoever we want as a guest, and we
- 6:54Speaker 2: can bring that goofy-looking Tallarico guy on and his stupid
- 6:58Speaker 2: face and hair, and we're going to have him on
- 7:00Speaker 2: and let him talk about why he knows what Christianity
- 7:05Speaker 2: is better than Jesus did. So we can do that
- 7:09Speaker 2: and then tell everybody why Republicans are stupid and bring
- 7:13Speaker 2: all these people on. They're allowed to do whatever they want.
- 7:16Speaker 2: They can just, you know, Jimmy Kimmel can say whatever.
- 7:19Speaker 2: Every now and then he'll say something that goes a
- 7:21Speaker 2: little bit too far. Everybody goes, ah! But I digress.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Because just every now and then it actually does get
- 7:29Speaker 2: someone's attention. And occasionally The View will get someone's attention because,
- 7:34Speaker 2: you know, I don't know. Who's... Who's watching The View
- 7:38Speaker 2: during the day? That's what I don't understand. So anyway,
- 7:41Speaker 2: they had an episode, I guess, where they've brought up
- 7:45Speaker 2: this idea. I guess they had a summer break. I
- 7:48Speaker 2: don't know that I knew that they did that. Maybe
- 7:51Speaker 2: that's why I haven't had many View stories here lately.
- 7:54Speaker 2: But they had their summer break, and one of the
- 8:00Speaker 2: hosts on the show, Sonny Hostin. I always said Hostin.
- 8:05Speaker 2: That's what I thought it was, but I guess it's Hostin.
- 8:07Speaker 2: I think I've been saying Hostin for a while, but anyway.
- 8:12Speaker 2: So here's what we got as we're getting a couple
- 8:14Speaker 2: of months away from the midterms. And this is the game.
- 8:19Speaker 2: This is where they're going with this. Sonny Hostin comes
- 8:23Speaker 2: in and says, My question is, do we really start
- 8:27Speaker 2: in earnest? And I mean this honestly, considering the 25th Amendment.
- 8:33Speaker 2: As if she... is one of the people who gets
- 8:36Speaker 2: to decide this. That's one of the other things that
- 8:39Speaker 2: I love about this whole, uh, uh, arrogance, this whole
- 8:45Speaker 2: like presumptuous, like nature of these people that host these shows. Um, nobody,
- 8:52Speaker 2: nobody cares. Does anybody really care what they have to say?
- 8:57Speaker 2: Most of the time, they're just kind of this regurgitate this,
- 9:01Speaker 2: you know, Message from the left, let people come on
- 9:04Speaker 2: to talk about whatever, just spout off talking points that
- 9:07Speaker 2: they're getting from somebody at the DNC. And they come
- 9:11Speaker 2: on and then they just spout off stuff like, should
- 9:14Speaker 2: we really be, I mean this honestly, maybe we should
- 9:18Speaker 2: be thinking about this. Again, as I talked about yesterday,
- 9:23Speaker 2: you're not part of the revolution. You don't really have
- 9:26Speaker 2: a say in this, who is going to be considering
- 9:30Speaker 2: anything for the 25th Amendment. And then she said, I
- 9:35Speaker 2: think when the Republicans lose the House and they lose
- 9:37Speaker 2: the Senate, they're going to want to have some control
- 9:42Speaker 2: over this person, this person that is in the office.
- 9:46Speaker 2: And J.D. Vance would then be that replacement. And I
- 9:49Speaker 2: wonder if the Cabinet looks at each other and says, okay,
- 9:53Speaker 2: we've got to take control of this 25th Amendment. And
- 9:59Speaker 2: if you're not schooled on this, I know you've heard
- 10:02Speaker 2: it because they like to talk about it, but of
- 10:04Speaker 2: course this is basically an opportunity for a president's cabinet
- 10:09Speaker 2: to take him from office if he's not able to
- 10:11Speaker 2: do the job. He or she don't want to be sexist.
- 10:18Speaker 2: And Cause we've had two, uh, hell of a candidates.
- 10:22Speaker 2: We had two hell of a candidates, uh, from the
- 10:26Speaker 2: Democrats on that lady side of things. Uh, so anyway, uh,
- 10:34Speaker 2: two hell of a candidates. So we just came out
- 10:39Speaker 2: of a presidency where let's go back. It was just, just,
- 10:44Speaker 2: and I've said this before and I'm just, um, um,
- 10:47Speaker 2: we all observed. The decline in faculties, the cognition problems,
- 10:55Speaker 2: not mocking it, not even, not even a little bit.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Okay.
- 10:59Speaker 2: This, uh, dementia and Alzheimer's and all these things, they
- 11:04Speaker 2: run in my family. It's the last thing I'm doing
- 11:06Speaker 2: is making fun of that. That's not what I'm doing.
- 11:09Speaker 2: I think it's a very serious thing, you know, so quite, quite, um,
- 11:16Speaker 2: contrary to that, I am saying to you that it's
- 11:19Speaker 2: very serious and it should have been taken seriously during
- 11:23Speaker 2: the previous administration because we were watching all of this
- 11:28Speaker 2: take place. And then as time went by and we
- 11:32Speaker 2: found out about the auto pen and his son, Hunter Biden,
- 11:37Speaker 2: said that they were, you know, force-feeding him Ambien. Not him,
- 11:42Speaker 2: that might have been different for Hunter, but His dad, Ambien,
- 11:47Speaker 2: because he blamed the bad debate performance on that. And
- 11:51Speaker 2: I've told you before, if all of that's accurate, and
- 11:54Speaker 2: who knows with Hunter Biden, but if that's true and
- 11:56Speaker 2: they're force-feeding him Ambien and sedating him and then running
- 12:01Speaker 2: the country behind his back, that's elder abuse. You know,
- 12:06Speaker 2: that's what that is. And there were people that were
- 12:09Speaker 2: doing it according to Hunter Biden. And I would say
- 12:13Speaker 2: that that would fall under the category of elder abuse,
- 12:15Speaker 2: and that's crime. I don't think that anything was done
- 12:19Speaker 2: to anyone for that. And then, of course, they moved
- 12:23Speaker 2: him aside and put someone up for one of them
- 12:28Speaker 2: hell of a candidates that I've told you was a bigger,
- 12:31Speaker 2: useful idiot because that's what they wanted. They liked the
- 12:34Speaker 2: useful idiots on the left. And then they pick a
- 12:38Speaker 2: VP pick. with Wall, so they said, we're going to
- 12:43Speaker 2: get him, and he's going to be our useful idiot.
- 12:46Speaker 2: So anyway, we had that scenario. But I think one
- 12:51Speaker 2: of the things that I find most interesting about these
- 12:55Speaker 2: comments from Sonny Hostin, first of all, the eye roll
- 12:59Speaker 2: of like, oh, here we go again, 25th Amendment, and
- 13:01Speaker 2: they did nothing to get a president out of office
- 13:06Speaker 2: who was clearly not able to do the job and
- 13:10Speaker 2: they had no issues with it. There was only a
- 13:12Speaker 2: point where they decided that he's not going to win.
- 13:17Speaker 2: So we got to get rid of him and we
- 13:19Speaker 2: could say, Hey, maybe people will just vote for a
- 13:21Speaker 2: black woman just because she's a black woman, even though
- 13:24Speaker 2: she's slurring her speech and may or may not be
- 13:26Speaker 2: drunk while she's talking and saying a lot of completely
- 13:31Speaker 2: incoherent things. Again, useful idiot. someone that will just kind
- 13:36Speaker 2: of be there while they're running things behind the scenes.
- 13:40Speaker 2: So that probably should have happened at some point. At
- 13:43Speaker 2: least the discussion should have been a serious conversation. I
- 13:47Speaker 2: wonder if we, and I mean this, honestly, you and
- 13:50Speaker 2: me who has no say in this, I wonder if
- 13:54Speaker 2: we should have been thinking about that. Um, But she's
- 13:58Speaker 2: kind of revealing one of those things that we've all
- 14:01Speaker 2: been told that we're conspiracy theorists for believing in. And
- 14:04Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I know people behind the scenes that
- 14:07Speaker 2: will tell you to your face. Not only that there
- 14:11Speaker 2: is this shadow government thing that takes place. And he
- 14:16Speaker 2: can tell you who some of the people are. He
- 14:18Speaker 2: knows them by name. He worked for multiple presidents. And
- 14:23Speaker 2: he can tell you who they are. And he knew
- 14:26Speaker 2: when they were coming and going after an election and
- 14:30Speaker 2: he's maintained that the only president that he worked for
- 14:33Speaker 2: over all these decades that didn't play that game was Trump.
- 14:38Speaker 2: And that's the reason that they hate him. And they say, well,
- 14:41Speaker 2: that's not what really happens. That's not what goes on
- 14:44Speaker 2: behind the scenes. That's your conspiracy theorist. Think about what
- 14:49Speaker 2: she just said. And this is not even, this is
- 14:52Speaker 2: somebody who thinks that, that she could whip out the
- 14:56Speaker 2: 25th Amendment. But she says, I think when the Republicans
- 15:01Speaker 2: lose the House and they lose the Senate, they're going
- 15:04Speaker 2: to want to have some control over this person, this
- 15:07Speaker 2: person that's in the office. And J.D. Vance would then
- 15:10Speaker 2: be that replacement. She's laying out the plan. I agree
- 15:17Speaker 2: that Republicans aren't going to do this, as many have
- 15:21Speaker 2: pointed out after she said it, And even Alyssa Farrah
- 15:27Speaker 2: Griffin saying that they didn't do it after January 6th,
- 15:31Speaker 2: the first go-round, blah, blah, blah. But anyway, I agree
- 15:35Speaker 2: with that. They're not going to do this. But yeah,
- 15:38Speaker 2: I'm sure there are some of these people behind the scenes,
- 15:41Speaker 2: these swamp people that Trump has talked about in the
- 15:44Speaker 2: first administration, that would want him gone. Again, there were
- 15:48Speaker 2: a lot of Republicans who didn't like him. There were
- 15:51Speaker 2: children of warmongers in... uh, that were in office that
- 15:57Speaker 2: didn't like him, you know, they wanted him gone. They, they,
- 16:01Speaker 2: you gotta get rid of Trump. He's terrible. And you go, well,
- 16:04Speaker 2: my family made a lot of money off war. So
- 16:07Speaker 2: we got to make sure this guy's not around. Cause
- 16:10Speaker 2: we need to be able to, I don't know. I
- 16:12Speaker 2: just presume that that's what's going on behind the scenes.
- 16:14Speaker 2: I don't know. That's what I think the conversations might've
- 16:17Speaker 2: been like in some of the households, uh, some Nepo babies.
- 16:21Speaker 2: But anyway, uh, and, Yes, there were definitely some people
- 16:27Speaker 2: on both sides that loved the idea of someone not
- 16:31Speaker 2: elected running things behind the scenes. We even knew when
- 16:35Speaker 2: Elon Musk was in doing the whole Doge thing and
- 16:39Speaker 2: he was cleaning things up and saving some wasted monies
- 16:45Speaker 2: and people were saying, nobody elected him, but at least
- 16:48Speaker 2: we knew who it was. This wasn't people behind the
- 16:52Speaker 2: scenes that You just didn't even know who they were
- 16:55Speaker 2: or how they had any sort of authority that was
- 16:58Speaker 2: delegated to them by a president. These were people that
- 17:02Speaker 2: running things on behalf of a presidency, not even for
- 17:07Speaker 2: a president, especially not if they're choking Ambien down him,
- 17:11Speaker 2: but they're just laying it out. I mean, my question is,
- 17:16Speaker 2: when do we really start in earnest? I mean this honestly,
- 17:22Speaker 2: considering the 25th Amendment. I just love the fact she
- 17:26Speaker 2: seems to think that she has some sort of a... Now,
- 17:32Speaker 2: she could put the thought out there and maybe just
- 17:34Speaker 2: have that one person somewhere in the cabinet go, maybe.
- 17:39Speaker 2: But do we really think we got people in this
- 17:40Speaker 2: cabinet that are watching The View? Just looking for ideas?
- 17:44Speaker 2: I don't think so. Today's show brought to you by
- 17:46Speaker 2: Columbus State University's Coca-Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating

- 19:49Speaker 2: It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has
- 19:52Speaker 2: parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead
- 19:56Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that
- 19:59Speaker 2: away for you. And while they're there, you can always
- 20:02Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
- 20:05Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
- 20:08Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
- 20:11Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
- 20:13Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
- 20:17Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
- 20:23Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
- 20:27Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
- 20:30Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
- 20:33Speaker 2: door system. that you can put down and you can
- 20:35Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor,
- 20:40Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
- 20:42Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 20:44Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
- 20:46Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
- 20:49Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
- 20:51Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
- 20:54Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
- 20:57Speaker 2: your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
- 20:59Speaker 2: come help. And they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.
- 21:11Speaker 2: More West Carol Morning Show right after the break. Well,
- 21:22Speaker 2: if you're afraid that AI is going to be the
- 21:26Speaker 2: end of us all, or if you're just concerned about
- 21:30Speaker 2: surveillance and things like that, There is a bit of
- 21:34Speaker 2: good news, but it's kind of one of those one-two
- 21:38Speaker 2: punches where it's good news with a little bit of
- 21:40Speaker 2: bad news built into it, I suppose. I don't know.
- 21:43Speaker 2: A German designer has basically figured out a way to
- 21:48Speaker 2: use AI to defend a human from AI. His name
- 21:56Speaker 2: is Simon Weckert. That's how you say it. He used
- 22:00Speaker 2: AI and he created what he said was the world's
- 22:03Speaker 2: ugliest Hawaiian shirt. And there's a specific purpose for it. Basically,
- 22:10Speaker 2: it's to help people avoid detection from AI surveillance cameras.
- 22:15Speaker 2: The shirt he's referring to as digital camouflage is covered
- 22:20Speaker 2: in a colorful abstract pattern that looks strange to humans.
- 22:24Speaker 2: But the important thing is that it actually confuses humans.
- 22:28Speaker 2: artificial intelligence systems trained to recognize people. Weckert says that
- 22:33Speaker 2: he repeatedly tested designs until camera software could no longer
- 22:37Speaker 2: reliably identify the wearer as an actual person. So it
- 22:44Speaker 2: makes people stand out to people, just not to AI systems.
- 22:51Speaker 2: Pretty clever stuff. But I just feel like if we
- 22:55Speaker 2: honestly think The Terminators are coming at some point. It's
- 23:00Speaker 2: eventually going to solve this problem. But I like where
- 23:02Speaker 2: he's going with it, and I hope that maybe, just maybe,
- 23:05Speaker 2: he's on to something here that could have long-term ramifications.
- 23:10Speaker 2: We hope, if necessary. If you're already thinking about Halloween,
- 23:16Speaker 2: and that's where we are, we should be thinking about
- 23:18Speaker 2: Halloween at this point. And every store is already... you know,
- 23:24Speaker 2: decked out in Halloween stuff. I was actually in a
- 23:27Speaker 2: store yesterday looking at some Halloween stuff. But one store
- 23:32Speaker 2: chain in particular, Costco, has a new bit of Halloween
- 23:37Speaker 2: treats for you. They are selling a giant chocolate Frankenstein's
- 23:43Speaker 2: monster head that weighs in at about five and a
- 23:48Speaker 2: half pounds, comes stuffed with more than a pound of
- 23:50Speaker 2: gummy candies. It includes a small mallet that you can
- 23:55Speaker 2: use to smash it open at your party. The monster-sized
- 23:58Speaker 2: candy comes in at $ 55. While some shoppers say it's
- 24:03Speaker 2: too expensive for a seasonal novelty item, others point out
- 24:06Speaker 2: that the amount of chocolate alone could justify the price.
- 24:09Speaker 2: Either way, it's designed more as a Halloween party centerpiece
- 24:13Speaker 2: than something that you would necessarily be handing out to trick-or-treaters. Now,
- 24:18Speaker 2: I will say this. If I know you personally... and
- 24:22Speaker 2: you find out that anyone happens to be giving these
- 24:25Speaker 2: things out as trick-or-treat items, and you don't notify me,
- 24:30Speaker 2: I'm going to be upset with you. There was a
- 24:33Speaker 2: time when I was young, I was even maybe in
- 24:38Speaker 2: my 20s, and I would just say, look, you find
- 24:40Speaker 2: out they're giving out the really big Snickers bars. I
- 24:46Speaker 2: need to know. I need to know just for a
- 24:50Speaker 2: friend And, you know, you find out, we even did
- 24:55Speaker 2: it with as a radio stunt. Once we went and
- 24:57Speaker 2: somebody was handing them out and we went and got
- 24:59Speaker 2: a bunch of those suckers. It was great. So I'm
- 25:01Speaker 2: just saying, if somebody has given out the giant Frankenstein's
- 25:04Speaker 2: monster head, you got to let me know. That's, that's
- 25:07Speaker 2: all I'm asking. A new national survey suggested Americans are
- 25:12Speaker 2: spending too much time. Sorry, spending too much indoors to
- 25:17Speaker 2: little time outdoors. It's strangely worded the way, the way
- 25:21Speaker 2: this says, but, That's what they're getting at. Too little
- 25:24Speaker 2: time outdoors, too much time indoors. And missing out on
- 25:28Speaker 2: health benefits that come with connecting with nature. Researchers at
- 25:31Speaker 2: Texas A & M say that even 10 minutes outside
- 25:34Speaker 2: every day can improve mood, reduce stress, and may help
- 25:38Speaker 2: support your immune system. The survey of more than 3,000
- 25:40Speaker 2: people found that nearly 45% spent less than two hours
- 25:45Speaker 2: in nature during the previous week. Researchers say that increased
- 25:49Speaker 2: screen time and conveniences like home delivery services may be
- 25:52Speaker 2: keeping more people indoors. The study also found that while
- 25:57Speaker 2: only about 20% of people have never been advised by
- 25:59Speaker 2: a doctor to spend more time outdoors, 83% said that
- 26:03Speaker 2: they would, in fact, do so if their health care
- 26:08Speaker 2: provider recommended it. So I would recommend it.
- 26:14Speaker 1: I mean.
- 26:14Speaker 2: I don't do the food delivery things because I was
- 26:17Speaker 2: already not doing it. And then I heard the story
- 26:19Speaker 2: about the person who was delivered a cup of urine
- 26:22Speaker 2: and it was supposed to be a milkshake. And that's
- 26:24Speaker 2: because the person kept a cup to pee in in
- 26:28Speaker 2: the cup holder of their car because they were so
- 26:31Speaker 2: busy doing food deliveries. They didn't have time to stop
- 26:34Speaker 2: and go to the bathroom. And that means that the
- 26:37Speaker 2: milkshake they were supposed to get was in the next
- 26:39Speaker 2: cup holder and they picked up the wrong thing. That's
- 26:42Speaker 2: reason enough for me. to just go outside and get
- 26:46Speaker 2: some sunshine when I've got to go pick up some
- 26:48Speaker 2: food or whatever. So I'm just saying. That'll do it
- 26:52Speaker 2: for this Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks to our
- 26:55Speaker 2: sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch you
- 26:58Speaker 2: back here tomorrow morning.
