Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:05
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning.
0:06
Speaker 2: Show Tuesday morning at twelfth day of November. I'm Wes.
0:12
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining me. Made it through that holiday weekend.
0:19
Speaker 2: I talked about our veterans on Friday kicking off the
0:26
Speaker 2: show on Friday, but again, I hope you took some
0:33
Speaker 2: time to acknowledge a veteran or two, appreciate them, appreciate
0:37
Speaker 2: their sacrifices that they make, and just being a veteran
0:43
Speaker 2: and committing to one of the branches of the service,
0:48
Speaker 2: to their families for being with them along the way,
0:53
Speaker 2: for the sacrifices that get made, just in being committed
0:58
Speaker 2: to that lifestyle, by the fan, by even the friends.
1:03
Speaker 2: It is important that we take the eleventh of November
1:12
Speaker 2: and acknowledge our veterans, and I think it's important also
1:16
Speaker 2: to acknowledge their families. But I hope you enjoyed your day,
1:22
Speaker 2: and to our veterans that listen in their families, I
1:25
Speaker 2: appreciate you very much. It's always when I think about
1:33
Speaker 2: folks who've served, This especially hits me Independence Day. It
1:38
Speaker 2: especially hits me on Memorial Day. But I often think
1:42
Speaker 2: about the early days of this country the beginning of
1:48
Speaker 2: this country, the origins of this country, And I think
1:52
Speaker 2: about sacrifices that were made, decisions that were made when
1:57
Speaker 2: farmers decided, Am I going to join this battle? Am
2:01
Speaker 2: I going to support this war for independence? Am I
2:04
Speaker 2: going to support this declaration? Am I going to make
2:10
Speaker 2: this commitment to this cause because I think it's something
2:14
Speaker 2: that's worth fighting for. And all the way up to
2:18
Speaker 2: the actual founders, the folks that signed the declaration, the
2:22
Speaker 2: folks that put their name on a document, that knew
2:26
Speaker 2: what it meant to sign their name to it. Some
2:29
Speaker 2: of them had come from other places where signing your
2:35
Speaker 2: name to a similar document could cost you everything. A
2:40
Speaker 2: certain Charles Carroll of Carrollton, who took the time to
2:48
Speaker 2: sign and knowing just a couple of generations earlier his
2:53
Speaker 2: grandfather lost everything back home overseas in Ireland. So yes,
3:02
Speaker 2: a commitment was made so that we as a nation
3:07
Speaker 2: could begin with this idea that is America. That term.
3:16
Speaker 2: The first person I heard really use it regularly was
3:18
Speaker 2: Bono from you two put politics aside just for a second.
3:23
Speaker 2: But that is sort of the way a lot of
3:25
Speaker 2: the world sees us, is this is an idea it's
3:27
Speaker 2: not so much a country, it's not so much a
3:32
Speaker 2: lot of the ways that we ascribed. It's an idea,
3:35
Speaker 2: it's a promise, it's something that really has stood out
3:40
Speaker 2: and been different. And then we have our elections, and
3:46
Speaker 2: we have our process where we choose our leaders. We
3:51
Speaker 2: have an opportunity to choose our leaders, We cast our votes,
3:56
Speaker 2: and decisions get made, and then you move on with
4:01
Speaker 2: your life. And I understand that we now live in
4:05
Speaker 2: a world that our founders couldn't have fully understood. There
4:08
Speaker 2: are elements of what we do now that our founders understood.
4:12
Speaker 2: They were brilliant, They were very very brilliant, and they
4:17
Speaker 2: understood what was at stake. They understood the importance of
4:22
Speaker 2: this balance of power that we have. They understood that
4:26
Speaker 2: we had to have everyone in check. And that's what
4:29
Speaker 2: we have. But we put so much emphasis, in so
4:33
Speaker 2: much stress on one of those branches. We put so
4:38
Speaker 2: much stress and emphasis on the president. Like the other
4:43
Speaker 2: elections don't matter, the other battles don't matter. They all matter,
4:46
Speaker 2: They're all important. And yes, you could say, well, a
4:50
Speaker 2: president that has control of you know, Congress, a president
4:56
Speaker 2: that also is able to select members of the supreme.
5:00
Speaker 2: It all ties in, there's all a connection there, but
5:05
Speaker 2: the role is to keep each other in check. That's
5:09
Speaker 2: what you're supposed to do. That's the way it's supposed
5:12
Speaker 2: to work. But there is an importance to selecting these leaders,
5:16
Speaker 2: and there's an importance to understanding that the outcomes of elections,
5:19
Speaker 2: while they do have consequences also or just part of
5:24
Speaker 2: our lives, doesn't dictate everything that we do. And I'm
5:30
Speaker 2: learning more and more, especially after the last end of
5:35
Speaker 2: last week and the weekend through the holiday. It's been
5:38
Speaker 2: about a week now, and I'm learning something that I
5:44
Speaker 2: don't know that I had really been able to put
5:46
Speaker 2: into specific words. And I think I've got a term
5:49
Speaker 2: for it. Well, I didn't come up with a term,
5:53
Speaker 2: but it's a term that I've never specifically ever thought
5:57
Speaker 2: to associate with elections. We talk a lot in some
6:04
Speaker 2: of us talk about it. Not everybody, but this idea
6:07
Speaker 2: of a low information voter. I was joking last week about,
6:11
Speaker 2: you know, get out and vote, but not everybody should
6:13
Speaker 2: be encouraged to get out and vote. I don't think
6:16
Speaker 2: low information voters should be pressed to get out and vote.
6:19
Speaker 2: They're certainly allowed to. That's another one of the great
6:23
Speaker 2: things that people sacrificed and gave their lives for for
6:27
Speaker 2: us all these years later, almost two hundred and fifty
6:31
Speaker 2: years later, which heard a couple of commentators point out
6:36
Speaker 2: President Trump will be presiding over the two hundred and
6:40
Speaker 2: fiftieth anniversary of America, which is kind of cool, as
6:45
Speaker 2: well as a World Cup as well as the Olympics
6:47
Speaker 2: in la But everybody can. But it doesn't mean everybody
6:54
Speaker 2: really is armed with the information that they need to
6:58
Speaker 2: cast a vote. And part of the indictment I guess
7:04
Speaker 2: in this election is that our media, our journalism is broken.
7:11
Speaker 2: For a lot of people say it's dead. I don't
7:13
Speaker 2: know if it's dead, but we know it's broken. But
7:16
Speaker 2: this we've known for a while that it's broken. Folks
7:19
Speaker 2: on the right have looked at it and said this
7:21
Speaker 2: is messed up, and folks on the left just kind
7:25
Speaker 2: of exist in this echo chamber and feel like it's
7:28
Speaker 2: not broken or messed up. We're doing what we're supposed
7:31
Speaker 2: to do. We're pushing a candidate and trying to make
7:33
Speaker 2: the world better because we are smarter than the people
7:37
Speaker 2: who read our newspapers then watch our news networks that
7:42
Speaker 2: listen to our podcasts or whatever it is. We're smarter
7:45
Speaker 2: than them. The people who watch our late night talk
7:48
Speaker 2: shows that are supposed to be comedy, We're smarter than them.
7:53
Speaker 2: We know more than they do. We understand what it's
7:56
Speaker 2: how it's supposed to go. And when they don't do
7:59
Speaker 2: what they're supposed to do do, that's when we have
8:02
Speaker 2: to berate them for it. We have to chastise and
8:06
Speaker 2: we have to tell them you got it wrong. You're
8:07
Speaker 2: going to cause the end of the world. So this
8:13
Speaker 2: low information voter that maybe just gets a little bit
8:16
Speaker 2: of news from one of the news networks, and I understand,
8:21
Speaker 2: I believe me. I'm not going to sit back and
8:24
Speaker 2: say that a right laning network like Fox doesn't also
8:28
Speaker 2: have its share of low information voters. I'm not going
8:32
Speaker 2: to pretend that people who went into this election and
8:36
Speaker 2: voted for Trump all had a full and complete grasp
8:41
Speaker 2: of everything that is Donald Trump. What they did know
8:47
Speaker 2: was that the economy sucks. They did know that our
8:52
Speaker 2: border sucks. They did know that where the country is
8:58
Speaker 2: headed sucks. They did know that you have folks on
9:03
Speaker 2: the left that are putting one percent of the country
9:07
Speaker 2: less than one of the percent of the country ahead
9:10
Speaker 2: of everyone else. They're letting people that have come across
9:13
Speaker 2: the border become entitled immediately to tax money that the
9:21
Speaker 2: people who live here contribute, and then when the tax
9:24
Speaker 2: money was needed in places like Hawaii or North Carolina,
9:29
Speaker 2: the money's not there. They're not able to come up
9:32
Speaker 2: with the money, and they're able to say, well, we
9:36
Speaker 2: could give you this much money. And by the way,
9:40
Speaker 2: these reports that FEMA wasn't doing their job, and they say, ah,
9:43
Speaker 2: but FEMA is there. They're lying to you, not for everybody.
9:47
Speaker 2: FEMA didn't take care of everybody, And seven hundred and
9:50
Speaker 2: fifty dollars wasn't taking care of everybody. And if you
9:54
Speaker 2: think some of those counties in North Carolina didn't make
9:57
Speaker 2: sure that they were heard kidding yourself. So people also
10:04
Speaker 2: feel like, why is my money going to support wars
10:08
Speaker 2: overseas when we need it here right now? Coming out
10:13
Speaker 2: of a pandemic, coming out of really our entire life
10:18
Speaker 2: being upended collectively and trying to get back on track,
10:25
Speaker 2: trying to get careers back on track, trying to get
10:30
Speaker 2: you know, livelihoods re established, start saving again, paying off
10:34
Speaker 2: credit cards, and people felt like you're putting trans issues
10:40
Speaker 2: ahead of just the rest of the country. You're putting
10:45
Speaker 2: folks that have come in illegally ahead of you, put
10:47
Speaker 2: the war overseas for Ukraine ahead of everybody here. We've
10:54
Speaker 2: got a weird sense of there's no justice. You're allowed
10:59
Speaker 2: to commit certain crimes and there's no punishment for it.
11:03
Speaker 2: So we do have these low information voters, but that's
11:11
Speaker 2: what they're coming from. Like, that's where a lot of
11:14
Speaker 2: this is coming from. It's not all of it. Some
11:16
Speaker 2: just looked at Trump and said he's more likable than her.
11:20
Speaker 2: That's been the ongoing thing for years. Who would you
11:23
Speaker 2: rather have a beer with? It's not her, And it's
11:27
Speaker 2: not because she's a woman. It's because is she even human?
11:32
Speaker 2: It's and I don't want to be just insulting, but
11:35
Speaker 2: she's not a normal person. She's very much a politician.
11:42
Speaker 2: She was very much given one hundred days to figure
11:46
Speaker 2: out how to convince everybody that you're not just a puppet.
11:52
Speaker 2: But we're going to have all of the strings in
11:56
Speaker 2: place so that we that's a marionette, though, isn't it.
11:58
Speaker 2: We're going to have everything in place so that we
12:00
Speaker 2: can coach you through this and you're going to pretend
12:04
Speaker 2: that we're not working you through it. So we know
12:07
Speaker 2: the low information voters are there, we know that. But
12:12
Speaker 2: we have something now that I've really witnessed a lot
12:16
Speaker 2: over the last several days, and that is the emotionally
12:25
Speaker 2: inadequate voter. You have the voter who isn't capable of
12:31
Speaker 2: processing the outcome of it. It's like a sports event
12:37
Speaker 2: of some kind. We'll just say, imagine a football game.
12:41
Speaker 2: Two teams play, and then one of the two teams
12:46
Speaker 2: it goes out, plays hard, loses, says good game, we'll
12:52
Speaker 2: see you next time, and the other team gloats, points
12:57
Speaker 2: at you, says, haha, we won, right. And then the
13:02
Speaker 2: next year they play again and the outcome flips and
13:07
Speaker 2: the team that lost the previous year maybe they have
13:09
Speaker 2: a little haha we won, but for the most part
13:12
Speaker 2: they won, and the other team goes to pieces. They cry,
13:16
Speaker 2: they scream, they yell, not all of them, but some
13:21
Speaker 2: of them. They're incapable of processing emotionally what just happened.
13:28
Speaker 2: And there's no hey, we'll see you next year. It's
13:33
Speaker 2: we refuse to accept this outcome, and it's not even
13:38
Speaker 2: so much. Wait a minute, you guys, cheated or wait
13:42
Speaker 2: a minute, the refs cheated. This wasn't one of those situations.
13:46
Speaker 2: This was an election that was clearly, clearly a referendum.
13:53
Speaker 2: I think I used the word diapment a minute ago,
13:55
Speaker 2: but I mean it's it's that solid testimony. You've been
14:03
Speaker 2: doing it wrong. And you can say, well, but we
14:07
Speaker 2: won with Biden, Okay, that was your win. Now Trump
14:12
Speaker 2: won again. You wasted your win on Joe Biden. Like typically,
14:18
Speaker 2: there's this, you know, there's this pendulum that goes back
14:23
Speaker 2: and forth. That's the way politics has worked for a
14:26
Speaker 2: very long time. One side wins, then the other side wins,
14:31
Speaker 2: and then the other side wins, and then the other
14:33
Speaker 2: side wins. It goes back and forth. Part of what
14:37
Speaker 2: keeps us all in check. That's the way the two
14:39
Speaker 2: party thing works. I know, the two party things not
14:42
Speaker 2: always great. I get it. You have situations where you
14:45
Speaker 2: go Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Really these are our options,
14:50
Speaker 2: and then you have situations where you go Joe Biden
14:53
Speaker 2: and Donald Trump. Really these are our options. I won't
14:58
Speaker 2: necessarily say and truthful, you know, Joe was a likable guy.
15:04
Speaker 2: Our president. Now, he was a likable guy. That's why
15:09
Speaker 2: he was the pick because they knew as a likable guy,
15:14
Speaker 2: they could just let him kind of lay low. People
15:16
Speaker 2: knew who he was, and then they said, uh, okay,
15:20
Speaker 2: well now he's the president, and you go, all right,
15:22
Speaker 2: well that's that's your pick. And nothing really to show
15:28
Speaker 2: for four years except the inflation, poor economy, screaming and
15:35
Speaker 2: yelling about these incredible job gains that they got that
15:38
Speaker 2: are really nothing more than the jobs that came back
15:41
Speaker 2: after COVID, screaming and yelling about how Trump lost all
15:45
Speaker 2: these jobs. No, COVID cost people all these jobs. And
15:49
Speaker 2: the way that our government reacted to it. And you
15:52
Speaker 2: can't just say it was federal. It wasn't just Trump.
15:56
Speaker 2: We had leaders telling us shut everything down. Anytime Trump
16:00
Speaker 2: questioned something that Fauci said, it was like, why is
16:03
Speaker 2: he trying to kill people? He's trying to kill grandmas.
16:07
Speaker 2: So there was pressure on Trump to do everything they said,
16:11
Speaker 2: which was shut everything down, make the economy get really
16:15
Speaker 2: really bad, and people lose their jobs. So what happens
16:19
Speaker 2: is that starts to go away and people go back
16:21
Speaker 2: to work, and Biden's the president and he says, ah,
16:23
Speaker 2: that guy lost all those jobs, and look at all
16:25
Speaker 2: the jobs. I brought back even low information voters. I
16:30
Speaker 2: think a lot of them were able to go you're lying,
16:35
Speaker 2: you're not being truthful with us, But some just buy it,
16:38
Speaker 2: some eat it up. So what happens if you're a
16:41
Speaker 2: low information voter and you don't really understand that For
16:46
Speaker 2: the past one hundred days, we've had a candidate for
16:49
Speaker 2: president who was telling us lie after lie after lie.
16:55
Speaker 2: That was the strategy. An insult. You're a he's a misogynist,
17:02
Speaker 2: you're for supporting him. You're a fascist, he's Hitler, he's Mussolini,
17:06
Speaker 2: he's Stalin Project twenty twenty five. The Project twenty twenty
17:11
Speaker 2: five thing has been debunked. It doesn't have anything to
17:14
Speaker 2: do with Donald Trump. You can let it go, sure
17:19
Speaker 2: if you want to be aware of it. But your
17:22
Speaker 2: time to really fight twenty Project twenty twenty five. If
17:27
Speaker 2: you really believe the lies that you were told was
17:30
Speaker 2: before the election. If you really believe that Donald Trump
17:34
Speaker 2: is not a Nazi or Hitler or whatever. Your time
17:37
Speaker 2: to fight all of that was before the election. Now
17:40
Speaker 2: you have to process it, move on. We all go
17:44
Speaker 2: back to work. We got four years and then see
17:48
Speaker 2: what happens in four years. But just sitting around and
17:52
Speaker 2: stewing and being angry and crying Jimmy Kimmel crying on TV,
17:57
Speaker 2: and people just being an emotional wreck over it, and
18:02
Speaker 2: the need to go on social media. The number of
18:05
Speaker 2: people on Instagram. I don't even go on X. I
18:10
Speaker 2: can imagine what that looks like. But it's just this
18:16
Speaker 2: need to express all of these things. You don't have to.
18:21
Speaker 2: You're allowed to just kind of process it, mourn it
18:25
Speaker 2: a little bit, get on with your life. That's what
18:29
Speaker 2: everybody else does. But if you don't have the emotional
18:32
Speaker 2: maturity to be a voter, maybe you shouldn't vote. I mean,
18:38
Speaker 2: maybe you should be asking yourself, am I going to
18:40
Speaker 2: be able to do this and still be a functional
18:44
Speaker 2: member of society if it doesn't go the way that
18:46
Speaker 2: I want it to, And if the answer is no,
18:50
Speaker 2: maybe you shouldn't be participating. I'm not telling you not to,
18:56
Speaker 2: I'm just asking a question. Is it in your best interest?
19:01
Speaker 2: Should you just shut it out all together? I know
19:03
Speaker 2: people who've done that. I know people who shut it
19:06
Speaker 2: out all together for years and years and years, and
19:08
Speaker 2: then one day they just decided, I'm going to get
19:10
Speaker 2: involved in this. I want to be wrapped up in
19:13
Speaker 2: politics now and they kick everybody out of their life
19:16
Speaker 2: who has different views than them because they're evil. They're bad,
19:20
Speaker 2: they're horrible. You don't have the emotional maturity to be involved,
19:25
Speaker 2: You just don't have it. Low information voters are bad.
19:31
Speaker 2: Emotionally immature voters might just be worse. Today's show brought

22:03
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
22:06
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
22:09
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
22:13
Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
22:17
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
22:20
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
22:22
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
22:25
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
22:29
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like
22:31
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
22:34
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
22:36
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
22:38
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
22:41
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
22:44
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
22:46
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open, and
22:49
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
22:52

23:03
Speaker 2: right after the break. A new study reveals that millennials
23:14
Speaker 2: are leading increasingly sedentary lives. Researchers from the University of
23:19
Speaker 2: Colorado at Boulder and the University of California at Riverside
23:23
Speaker 2: found that millennials now spend more than sixty hours a
23:27
Speaker 2: week sitting, between long hours sitting in a desk, commuting,
23:31
Speaker 2: and evening spent streaming shows or scrolling through social media.
23:35
Speaker 2: Researchers warn that sedentary behavior is linked to higher risk
23:39
Speaker 2: of developing heart disease and age related health problems much
23:43
Speaker 2: earlier than previous generations. They say young adults tend to
23:48
Speaker 2: think they are impervious to the impacts of aging. They figure,
23:51
Speaker 2: my metabolism is great, I don't have to worry until
23:53
Speaker 2: I'm in my fifties or sixties. But what you do
23:56
Speaker 2: during this critical time of life matters. This comes from
23:59
Speaker 2: LEAD research Ryan Bruhlman. So what can you do? You
24:04
Speaker 2: can exercise. Study found that those who engaged in thirty
24:07
Speaker 2: minutes of vigorous daily exercise like running or intense cycling
24:12
Speaker 2: showed health markers similar to people five to ten years
24:16
Speaker 2: younger who sat the same amount of time but didn't
24:19
Speaker 2: exercise vigorously. With that said, the study found that even
24:24
Speaker 2: that level of intense activity couldn't completely neutralize the negative
24:27
Speaker 2: impacts of all of the sittings. So exercise, get up,
24:31
Speaker 2: move around more during the day. It will be of
24:34
Speaker 2: benefit to you. And honestly, if you're trying to process
24:38
Speaker 2: this election and you're trying to handle it and deal
24:41
Speaker 2: with it, get some fresh air. Go outside and get
24:45
Speaker 2: some air. It's not the worst thing that you can do.
24:48
Speaker 2: And those alarms on your watches and things that tell
24:51
Speaker 2: you to get up, and you've probably turned them off.
24:54
Speaker 2: Here's an idea. Maybe you could turn that back on
24:57
Speaker 2: and help you get up. I need to do better
25:00
Speaker 2: trying to chastise. I'm not trying to tell you that
25:03
Speaker 2: you're doing it wrong. I'm just offering it up as
25:06
Speaker 2: maybe I'm talking to myself. Hey, Prime Video has expanded,
25:09
Speaker 2: it's X ray recaps feature to offer viewers recaps of
25:14
Speaker 2: episodes or full seasons of certain shows. The feature uses
25:18
Speaker 2: AI to create summaries of shows, all personalized to the
25:21
Speaker 2: exact minute of where viewers are watching, letting people catch
25:25
Speaker 2: up on the story, all supposedly spoiler free. The ideas
25:29
Speaker 2: to help viewers who have drifted away from a show
25:31
Speaker 2: get back into the swing of things quickly when they
25:34
Speaker 2: start watching again. I guess that's for times when you
25:38
Speaker 2: can't stream. I don't know. It just kind of gets
25:41
Speaker 2: you caught up, gets you back to where you are.
25:43
Speaker 2: But I don't know how do you do that without
25:45
Speaker 2: any kind of spoilers in there. I don't really understand
25:49
Speaker 2: how that. That's what's confusing to me. Researchers at the
25:54
Speaker 2: University of Melbourne have created a high speed three D
25:56
Speaker 2: bioprinter that makes human tissue anything from soft brain matter
26:01
Speaker 2: to bones. This breakthrough not only speeds up the printing process,
26:06
Speaker 2: but also improve survival rates of cells by reducing the
26:09
Speaker 2: time the cells are exposed during the printing process. So
26:13
Speaker 2: to be clear, they're not three D printing actual human
26:15
Speaker 2: beings yet anyway. Instead, the process just creates cells, which
26:21
Speaker 2: allows researchers to study the tissue while they develop new
26:24
Speaker 2: treatments for diseases. They're not printing people yet, but maybe
26:31
Speaker 2: they could be printing, you know, I mean, do you
26:34
Speaker 2: have to have a cadaver bone? If they could print
26:37
Speaker 2: a bone, I mean, can we get to that point?
26:39
Speaker 2: At least? The idea of the cadaver bone still concerns
26:42
Speaker 2: me because you know, I've seen those movies where you
26:43
Speaker 2: get a cadaver bone from a serial killer, and of
26:46
Speaker 2: course that means that you become a serial killer, right,
26:52
Speaker 2: isn't that the way that works? I mean, I think
26:54
Speaker 2: that's the way the whole process works. Back to AI.
26:58
Speaker 2: A new superhuman on an AI system in England called
27:02
Speaker 2: Air uses electro cardiogram results to peek into your heart's
27:07
Speaker 2: health and even estimate your risk of early death. If
27:10
Speaker 2: the thing works, doctors will be able to intervene earlier
27:14
Speaker 2: and prevent diseases before they become serious. According to a
27:19
Speaker 2: new study, people can feel empathy for robots, especially when
27:23
Speaker 2: they show signs of distress, like sad sounds or trembling arms.
27:27
Speaker 2: Researchers had people shake a robot that made pitiful noises,
27:31
Speaker 2: and sure enough, many of the people started feeling emotional
27:33
Speaker 2: distress because they were mistreating the robot. I remember there
27:37
Speaker 2: was that robot dog that they made. Didn't have a head,
27:41
Speaker 2: it was just four arms, and it just kind of
27:43
Speaker 2: crawled around like an insect on the ground or in
27:47
Speaker 2: like a big insect. But I mean, it was kind
27:49
Speaker 2: of a weird looking thing, and they said it was
27:50
Speaker 2: a robot dog. And someone in one of the demonstrations
27:56
Speaker 2: for it kind of kicked the thing, and people went,
27:58
Speaker 2: why are you kicking that dog? It's not a real dog.
28:02
Speaker 2: But yes, people can feel empathy for robots, clearly, all right.
28:09
Speaker 2: Fireball Simon Whiskey is letting sports fans celebrate their teams
28:13
Speaker 2: and mock their enemies with their latest creation, crier Ball,
28:17
Speaker 2: which will be crafted with real human tears. I feel
28:22
Speaker 2: an election joke is in here. It just feels like
28:25
Speaker 2: it's there, but I'm not going to do it. I
28:27
Speaker 2: kind of did to make the stuff. Fireball workers will
28:30
Speaker 2: be stationed at some big rivalry football games later this season,
28:34
Speaker 2: and we'll last fans to shed their tears as they
28:36
Speaker 2: leave the stadium after their team's loss. The Fireball employees
28:39
Speaker 2: will gather enough tiers through the use of sealed jars
28:43
Speaker 2: and tear droppers, and the tears will be mixed into
28:46
Speaker 2: some actual fireball, turning it into crier Ball. Should it
28:51
Speaker 2: go according to plan, cryer Ball will be ready for
28:54
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty five twenty twenty six football season. And
29:00
Speaker 2: there's nothing weird or disgusting about this at all. This
29:04
Speaker 2: is a perfectly normal thing for a company to do.
29:09
Speaker 2: Can they just make the tiers with that three D printer?
29:12
Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Tuesday edition of the show.
29:14
Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
