- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Friday morning, ninth day of August. I'm Wes, thanks for
- 0:11Speaker 2: joining me. Getting ready to roll on into the weekend
- 0:16Speaker 2: for some closing out the first week of school even
- 0:20Speaker 2: if it's just a couple of days for some of
- 0:22Speaker 2: the kids. Some getting ready to go into that final
- 0:25Speaker 2: weekend before school starts back next week or in the
- 0:29Speaker 2: next couple of weeks, at least in this area. I've
- 0:32Speaker 2: got friends with kids and other states and they still
- 0:36Speaker 2: got close to the end of the month, and I
- 0:39Speaker 2: think at least one telling me they don't go back
- 0:42Speaker 2: until September, so after Labor Day. That's what we did
- 0:45Speaker 2: when I was a kid, But we also got like
- 0:49Speaker 2: a whole three months off, and we didn't get all
- 0:51Speaker 2: these holidays. We didn't get all the smattering of holidays
- 0:54Speaker 2: here and there all.
- 0:55Speaker 3: Throughout the school years.
- 0:56Speaker 2: So it is a little bit different in that regard.
- 0:59Speaker 2: Speaking of Labor Day, get ready for the dragon Con
- 1:04Speaker 2: pregame show twenty twenty four edition. It is my annual
- 1:10Speaker 2: celebration of all things that are This convention known as
- 1:15Speaker 2: dragon Con. It's a popular arts convention. Your perception of
- 1:19Speaker 2: dragon Con may be, Oh, that's one of those nerdy
- 1:22Speaker 2: conventions where people get together. That's not all I mean,
- 1:26Speaker 2: that's part of it. That's certainly part of it. I
- 1:29Speaker 2: try to tell people that don't think of it as
- 1:31Speaker 2: it's just one of those old nerdy star trek conventions
- 1:34Speaker 2: or whatever. It's actually a lot more than that. Think
- 1:38Speaker 2: of a collection of some of the finest hotels in Atlanta,
- 1:43Speaker 2: Georgia in the downtown area, having a gathering of fan
- 1:50Speaker 2: bases from just about every type of pop culture that
- 1:53Speaker 2: you can imagine. Okay, if you can imagine the pop
- 1:57Speaker 2: culture genre, it's probably represent it at this convention. Whether
- 2:03Speaker 2: you're into books, whether you're into comic books, whether you
- 2:07Speaker 2: are into movies, TV shows, are you into music, are
- 2:14Speaker 2: you into video games? Are you into tabletop games? Are
- 2:19Speaker 2: you into card games? Are you into wrestling? And I'm
- 2:26Speaker 2: not even covering all of it. I mean, this is
- 2:28Speaker 2: just a scratch of the surface of what's there. Yes,
- 2:32Speaker 2: there will be guests for you to come and meet.
- 2:34Speaker 2: You'll have an opportunity to get photos and autographs with
- 2:38Speaker 2: guests who are there. The full guest list for dragon
- 2:40Speaker 2: Con is on their website. DragonCon dot Org. I'm just
- 2:44Speaker 2: going to tell you this without going through and last
- 2:47Speaker 2: year we couldn't mention the projects that people worked on
- 2:50Speaker 2: they had to do with the writer strike. It's been
- 2:52Speaker 2: a weird like being someone who has covered this convention
- 2:56Speaker 2: since the early two thousands and that's when I hearted, Okay,
- 3:01Speaker 2: early two thousands. I'm working on twenty five years of
- 3:03Speaker 2: covering this convention every single year. And I'll just tell
- 3:08Speaker 2: you this COVID was we didn't we did a virtual
- 3:11Speaker 2: convention because of COVID. The year after COVID, it was
- 3:15Speaker 2: what are we going to do as far as keeping
- 3:17Speaker 2: people safe and what are going to be the guidelines
- 3:19Speaker 2: for gathering and all that. Even the last you know,
- 3:23Speaker 2: last year, as we kind of come on the other
- 3:25Speaker 2: side of COVID, it's still like limited numbers. It was
- 3:28Speaker 2: a good size crowd of people. But last year, i
- 3:33Speaker 2: mean the COVID after year, it was strange. There weren't
- 3:36Speaker 2: a lot of people coming. This year, they've got so
- 3:38Speaker 2: many great guests and we can actually again talk about
- 3:41Speaker 2: the projects that they're in.
- 3:43Speaker 3: So let me just I'm going to.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Run through a few without naming specific names. I'll just
- 3:47Speaker 2: say this are you into Star Wars or Star Trek,
- 3:49Speaker 2: especially Star Trek this year. Great representation for Star Trek
- 3:53Speaker 2: this year. Star Wars does have representation. There are people
- 3:58Speaker 2: from a lot of people from Doctor Who who will
- 4:00Speaker 2: be there this year. Whether you're into video games that
- 4:06Speaker 2: hire voice actors, there will be many who will be
- 4:08Speaker 2: there in attendance. All four of the original voices of
- 4:12Speaker 2: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be there, as well
- 4:16Speaker 2: as the voice of April O'Neill. I'm excited about that.
- 4:20Speaker 2: I have I haven't met the voice actress who plays April.
- 4:25Speaker 2: I have met and interviewed all four of the Ninja Turtles.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Keep in contact with a couple of those guys. They're
- 4:30Speaker 2: great and I know they're excited about coming back to
- 4:33Speaker 2: Dragon Con. Rob Paulson in particular, who was on the
- 4:36Speaker 2: Dragon Con pregame show about five years ago. Maybe we
- 4:41Speaker 2: want an award from the Gabbies for that. So also
- 4:46Speaker 2: folks from the Walking Dead, folks from the Marvel Universe,
- 4:50Speaker 2: folks from the a lot of different video games. I'm
- 4:57Speaker 2: trying to think of maybe the best video game representation.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Check out the full list online because I don't want
- 5:06Speaker 2: to do any Injustice. There's some of these games that
- 5:08Speaker 2: I don't play. There are some that I do, there
- 5:12Speaker 2: are some that I don't. And I've had people say,
- 5:15Speaker 2: oh my gosh, you know that game is going to
- 5:17Speaker 2: have people there, and I was like, yes, they will,
- 5:21Speaker 2: and there are just a fantastic guest list. Now I
- 5:24Speaker 2: want to mention just two people because one of the
- 5:28Speaker 2: genres that we don't normally talk about is, you know,
- 5:32Speaker 2: animation or animation comedies. There are at least two cast members.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Seth Green is one, okay, Patrick Warburton is the other
- 5:44Speaker 2: two cast members at least from the show The Family Guy.
- 5:49Speaker 2: I'm more of a Patrick Warburton fan because of Seinfeld
- 5:54Speaker 2: or even Rules of Engagement. I really like that show
- 5:57Speaker 2: out of the Adam Sandler production company. But I'm excited
- 6:01Speaker 2: to be able to tell you that Patrick Warburton is
- 6:03Speaker 2: scheduled to be at Dragon Con this year, and that's
- 6:06Speaker 2: pretty darn exciting.
- 6:08Speaker 3: So there you go.
- 6:09Speaker 2: You look up the full guest list, you can see
- 6:11Speaker 2: the names that will be there. Now, I will have
- 6:13Speaker 2: the Dragon Con pregame show on radio two hundred plus
- 6:17Speaker 2: stations at the end of the month. It will be

- 7:25Speaker 3: All Right, it's Friday.
- 7:26Speaker 2: I know I spent some time talking about dragon Con.
- 7:28Speaker 2: I wanted to do that, but I also want to
- 7:29Speaker 2: get into some strange and bizarre news from around the world.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Let's start in is this Nantucket? Yeah, because it's from
- 7:38Speaker 2: the Nantucket Current. Noah Carberg spent the day fishing, went
- 7:44Speaker 2: into the supermarket to get some groceries and says that
- 7:49Speaker 2: he was in his fishing shirt and board shorts and
- 7:52Speaker 2: he had no pocket to keep his wallet in it,
- 7:54Speaker 2: and he placed it down in a shopping cart as
- 7:57Speaker 2: he loaded bags of groceries into his truck, and a
- 8:01Speaker 2: seagull swooped down into the cart and flew away with
- 8:04Speaker 2: his wallet.
- 8:05Speaker 3: Bird landed on the.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Roof of the grocery store, where it proceeded to pluck
- 8:09Speaker 2: all the cash out before grabbing the wallet in his.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Mouth and flying away for good.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Car Works shared the story on social media and said
- 8:18Speaker 2: anyone who finds his wallet can keep the cash that
- 8:20Speaker 2: remains inside. He's offering a one hundred dollars award for
- 8:23Speaker 2: the safe return of his license and credit cards. Though, so,
- 8:28Speaker 2: I mean, it's a funny story. You hate it for
- 8:31Speaker 2: the guy because yeah, that's one of those things where
- 8:34Speaker 2: you go, well, of course, that's what just happened. A
- 8:37Speaker 2: New York City subway worker feeling the heat, not just
- 8:42Speaker 2: because it's one hundred and twenty degrees in some of
- 8:44Speaker 2: the underground stations. In New York, fifty four year old
- 8:47Speaker 2: Henry Herring accused of slashing his own hand with a
- 8:50Speaker 2: knife and claiming he was the victim of a slashing
- 8:53Speaker 2: attack inside the Queen Station. Unfortunately for him, there's surveillance
- 8:57Speaker 2: cameras inside the station and they caught him inflicting the
- 9:00Speaker 2: wound on himself. He later told investigators he did it
- 9:03Speaker 2: because he wanted the rest of the summer off because
- 9:05Speaker 2: it was just too hot down there. He was suspended
- 9:08Speaker 2: without pay and charged with falsely reporting an incident. Sunday
- 9:14Speaker 2: dinner at a family's home in Florida came to an
- 9:16Speaker 2: abrupt end when police showed up to arrest a man
- 9:18Speaker 2: who had just assaulted his own mother with spaghetti.
- 9:22Speaker 3: Police say.
- 9:23Speaker 2: In Saint Petersburg, forty one year old Anthony Fiaco got
- 9:28Speaker 2: into an argument with a sixty one year old mother,
- 9:31Speaker 2: which led to the physical altercation. Anthony allegedly threw the
- 9:34Speaker 2: spaghetti at his mother, striking her in the head and
- 9:37Speaker 2: leaving her covered in sauce. That happens when you throw spaghetti.
- 9:43Speaker 2: The victim called the police, and Anthony attempted to flee
- 9:45Speaker 2: before officers arrived. Cops arrived found Fiaco holding I'm sorry,
- 9:51Speaker 2: hiding behind a bush. I was pausing because Fiaco, I
- 9:55Speaker 2: want to say Flacco and twice I've looked back. So
- 10:00Speaker 2: cops find found Fiaco hiding behind a bush. Inside the home.
- 10:05Speaker 2: He tried to run away, and the five ft six,
- 10:09Speaker 2: two hundred fifty pound man was not able to shake
- 10:11Speaker 2: officers and he was arrested. Cops charged him with domestic
- 10:15Speaker 2: battery and resisting an officer. Police in Portland say that
- 10:22Speaker 2: a runaway tortoise was found on the side of Interstate
- 10:26Speaker 2: two five. It was a slow speed chase, but officers
- 10:31Speaker 2: were able to wrangle him and hold him until animal
- 10:33Speaker 2: control officers arrived. They identified him as Bowser, a pet
- 10:36Speaker 2: tortoise who was reportedly missing two days earlier. His home
- 10:40Speaker 2: was located on the other side of I two five,
- 10:42Speaker 2: which means he managed to crawl across that very busy
- 10:45Speaker 2: interstate and survive. Police spokesperson said it's not clear where
- 10:49Speaker 2: Bowser had been for the last two days or how
- 10:51Speaker 2: he traversed the highway, but PPB gratified that he is
- 10:57Speaker 2: safe and sound and back home with his family, so
- 11:04Speaker 2: it's a good ending to the story. But yeah, that's wild.
- 11:09Speaker 2: I mean, when I see an animal like that, especially
- 11:12Speaker 2: a turtle, tortoise, whatever, crossing the road, I think I
- 11:15Speaker 2: should stop and help it to where it's going.
- 11:17Speaker 3: But on the highway, it's not really easy to do.
- 11:19Speaker 2: That, is it. A Frontier Airlines flight from Houston to
- 11:22Speaker 2: Dallas was canceled after the plane in good condition, the
- 11:27Speaker 2: weather was fine, passengers were ready to board. The problem
- 11:30Speaker 2: is there was no pilot. He had been taken off
- 11:32Speaker 2: the plane at handcuffs. Passengers watched at the gate out
- 11:37Speaker 2: the window as police led the pilot off the plane
- 11:40Speaker 2: in handcuffs and put him in the back of a
- 11:42Speaker 2: police car. The Houston Police Department later identified the pilot
- 11:46Speaker 2: as forty five year old Seymour Walker and said he
- 11:50Speaker 2: was arrested on a warrant related to an alleged assault
- 11:52Speaker 2: on a family member. Since no replacement pilot was available,
- 11:57Speaker 2: the flight was canceled. Passengers were offered a full fun
- 12:00Speaker 2: credit or re accommodation on the next available Frontier flight
- 12:06Speaker 2: later that evening. Seymour Walker more like Seymour walker into
- 12:11Speaker 2: the police car. I think my fifteen year old came
- 12:15Speaker 2: up with a joke. Hey, I'm not gonna put it
- 12:18Speaker 2: on him. It's a kind of joke he would make up. Hey, Flora,
- 12:21Speaker 2: he influenced it about that a Florida man had enough
- 12:24Speaker 2: of one local alligator's antics, so he handled the problem
- 12:28Speaker 2: in a very Florida man way got himself arrested. Seventy
- 12:32Speaker 2: one year old Robert Colin says he often feeds the
- 12:36Speaker 2: turtles in a nearby swamp, something he started doing after
- 12:39Speaker 2: having heart surgery because it was therapeutic to him. Unfortunately,
- 12:44Speaker 2: there's one alligator that likes two feet on the turtles,
- 12:47Speaker 2: which had been making Colin very angry. Something that's not
- 12:51Speaker 2: so good for his heart. Colin decided to take matters
- 12:55Speaker 2: in his own hands, so we grabbed a nylon rope
- 12:58Speaker 2: waited for the gator to appear in the canal. Once
- 13:00Speaker 2: he spotted the nine foot reptile, he lowered the rope,
- 13:02Speaker 2: lassoed the gater's upper jaw, then tied the other end
- 13:07Speaker 2: of the rope to a middle handrail, and called nine
- 13:10Speaker 2: one one. When police arrived, Colin told him he was
- 13:12Speaker 2: in the area happened to find the lassoed gator in
- 13:15Speaker 2: the canal.
- 13:15Speaker 3: Unfortunately for him, there's cameras.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Everywhere and this times, so one of the cameras happened
- 13:24Speaker 2: to catch Colin roping the gator himself and tying it
- 13:27Speaker 2: to the railing. He was forced to come clean and
- 13:29Speaker 2: was arrested on a charge of illegally injuring an alligator
- 13:32Speaker 2: without authority. Sadly, the gator did have to be euthanized
- 13:37Speaker 2: after all. That Well, that's not a good ending to
- 13:39Speaker 2: the story at all. A New Zealand woman walking her
- 13:42Speaker 2: dog on the beach had a scare after she stumbled
- 13:45Speaker 2: across a headless corpse in the sand. Alice Cowdrey's heart
- 13:51Speaker 2: skipped a beat when her dog, Sadie, sniffed out what
- 13:53Speaker 2: appeared to be a dead body. She said she saw
- 13:57Speaker 2: the torso and could make out the fingernails and toes.
- 14:00Speaker 2: She said she immediately felt sick and called police. When
- 14:03Speaker 2: officers arrived, they took a closer look and nudged the
- 14:06Speaker 2: body with their feet and discovered it wasn't actually a
- 14:09Speaker 2: real human torso, but a discarded sex doll that was
- 14:12Speaker 2: very realistic looking.
- 14:14Speaker 3: The water logged.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Plaything was so heavy it required three officers to drag
- 14:18Speaker 2: it off the beach. Awdrey said that she was very
- 14:22Speaker 2: relieved that she didn't find a murder victim.
- 14:24Speaker 3: Are you really that relieved?
- 14:26Speaker 2: I mean, I know you don't want it to be
- 14:27Speaker 2: a dead body. I get that I do, but that's
- 14:32Speaker 2: a weird thing.
- 14:32Speaker 3: To find anyway. I mean, you can be relieved, but
- 14:35Speaker 3: she can't be completely relieved. What a strange thing for
- 14:38Speaker 3: somebody to discard at the beach or in the ocean wherever.
- 14:43Speaker 3: However it came upon the shore. Who knows.
- 14:45Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Kalmbas State University's Coca

- 15:38Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
- 15:43Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
- 15:45Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
- 15:49Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
- 15:54Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
- 15:58Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
- 16:01Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,

- 16:16Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
- 16:18Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean
- 16:26Speaker 2: Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just
- 16:31Speaker 2: remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science
- 16:34Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
- 16:39Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage
- 16:42Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
- 16:48Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
- 16:51Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
- 16:55Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
- 16:58Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
- 17:00Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
- 17:03Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
- 17:06Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
- 17:10Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
- 17:12Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
- 17:14Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
- 17:18Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
- 17:21Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or
- 17:24Speaker 2: warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
- 17:29Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
- 17:31Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
- 17:34Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
- 17:36Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
- 17:41Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
- 17:43Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid. You'd
- 17:45Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
- 17:47Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
- 17:50Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
- 17:53Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
- 17:55Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
- 17:59Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
- 18:02Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six three five eight forty
- 18:04Speaker 2: five hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five
- 18:07Speaker 2: hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show
- 18:12Speaker 2: right after the break. Do you watch TV with your dog?
- 18:25Speaker 2: If you do, you're not alone. A new survey found
- 18:28Speaker 2: that forty three percent of Americans would rather watch a
- 18:31Speaker 2: movie with their dog than with their partner and the
- 18:35Speaker 2: reasons why. They say that dog owners who are in
- 18:39Speaker 2: a relationship would rather crawl up on the couch TV
- 18:41Speaker 2: with their dog because the dog doesn't interrupt them. They
- 18:45Speaker 2: also don't ask questions during the movie, and they are
- 18:48Speaker 2: better cuddlers during the movie. I know people that do
- 18:55Speaker 2: I like to, you know, with my dog will be
- 18:57Speaker 2: sometimes curl up at my feet, but he gets the
- 19:00Speaker 2: music gets him all worked up. If it's a movie
- 19:03Speaker 2: that has music or there's some sort of a high
- 19:06Speaker 2: tense moment, he can sense that he doesn't like it,
- 19:09Speaker 2: and he'll probably just excuse himself to the next room
- 19:13Speaker 2: where he can't hear the TV. So I mean keep
- 19:16Speaker 2: that in mind too, if you had a dog that's
- 19:17Speaker 2: sensitive to that stuff. People don't tend to forget their
- 19:21Speaker 2: first car, and New Survey found ninety percent of respond
- 19:23Speaker 2: and still remember their first car, and sixty percent said
- 19:26Speaker 2: they wish that they could go back in time and
- 19:28Speaker 2: take better care of it. Boomers ninety one percent, gen
- 19:33Speaker 2: Xers eighty nine percent are especially nostalgic for their first cars.
- 19:39Speaker 2: I think fondly of my first car. I'm not going
- 19:43Speaker 2: to tell you what it is, because that's one of
- 19:44Speaker 2: those questions that they ask you when you you know,
- 19:48Speaker 2: sometimes have like a super secret security question, and I
- 19:52Speaker 2: think people should keep that in mind. I think just
- 19:55Speaker 2: things good discussions like this. Conversations like this lead to
- 19:58Speaker 2: these you know, post what your first car was and
- 20:03Speaker 2: then give us your social Security number. No, you don't
- 20:06Speaker 2: need to tell everybody what your first car was, your
- 20:08Speaker 2: first concert was, or any of that stuff. That's sometimes
- 20:11Speaker 2: people use that for those I mean, if you don't
- 20:13Speaker 2: ever use those questions by all means, but it is
- 20:16Speaker 2: a way that people can sometimes find a way to
- 20:19Speaker 2: hack into your stuff. It looks like scientists are working
- 20:23Speaker 2: on a robot that has human skin on its face.
- 20:27Speaker 2: The face skin is a cultured mix of human skin
- 20:30Speaker 2: cells grown in a collagen scaffold and placed on top
- 20:35Speaker 2: of a three D printed resin base. If you're not
- 20:39Speaker 2: creeped out enough, I'll continue. If a skin also has
- 20:42Speaker 2: the equivalent of the ligaments that in humans and other
- 20:45Speaker 2: animals are buried in the layer of tissue beneath the skin,
- 20:48Speaker 2: holding it in place and giving it incredible strength and flexibility.
- 20:52Speaker 2: Scientists hope they will have the face, allowing machines to
- 20:57Speaker 2: emote and communicate in a more life like way as
- 21:02Speaker 2: they move forward. So that's kind of horrifying, just a
- 21:06Speaker 2: little bit, right. Mattel has announced that by the end
- 21:10Speaker 2: of the year, eighty percent of its gaming portfolio will
- 21:14Speaker 2: be made accessible for people who are color blind. For
- 21:18Speaker 2: a game like Uno, the four colors used in the
- 21:21Speaker 2: game will be distinguished by simple symbols that are added
- 21:25Speaker 2: to each card. That's a pretty good I mean, I
- 21:30Speaker 2: like that I know people that are affected by color blindness.
- 21:33Speaker 2: I know people that are, you know, impacted by it.
- 21:36Speaker 2: I even have a buddy who's got the glasses and
- 21:40Speaker 2: he wears them to help him out. He's thirteen or so,
- 21:43Speaker 2: twelve or thirteen, and he wears the glasses and that
- 21:47Speaker 2: helps him. Know, you know, he can see colors with
- 21:50Speaker 2: those glasses. He wears them all the time, which I
- 21:53Speaker 2: didn't know when I first heard about those glasses. I thought,
- 21:56Speaker 2: are these made for everyday use? Should people be wearing
- 21:58Speaker 2: them all the time? But those are his glasses. I
- 22:00Speaker 2: think that's great. And yeah, I know it's made a
- 22:04Speaker 2: difference in his life. It's changed things for him, So
- 22:07Speaker 2: that's great. You know for people. There's a lot of
- 22:10Speaker 2: people that are colorblind, I think for a long time
- 22:12Speaker 2: and don't even realize it, because I know some people
- 22:14Speaker 2: who lived a lot of their life without ever knowing
- 22:16Speaker 2: they were real the color blind. They just thought that's
- 22:18Speaker 2: how everything's just gray, that's just how things are. So
- 22:24Speaker 2: NFL season's coming up fast. I know we've jumped into
- 22:27Speaker 2: the preseason realm of things. Kansas City Chiefs will be
- 22:30Speaker 2: playing on Christmas this season, so they're going to have
- 22:34Speaker 2: a Christmas movie. The team and Hallmark Channel, which is
- 22:38Speaker 2: based out of Kansas City, have teamed up for a
- 22:41Speaker 2: Christmas film called Holiday Touchdown, A Chief's Love Story. The
- 22:45Speaker 2: plot of the film is that a woman who's a
- 22:47Speaker 2: chief super fan family, who has a chief Superfan family,
- 22:51Speaker 2: I should say, is in line for the team's Fan
- 22:53Speaker 2: of the Year contest and falls in loves with the
- 22:56Speaker 2: Chiefs director of Fan Engagement. The film begins reduction next
- 23:00Speaker 2: month and it'll be shot maybe this month, shot around
- 23:06Speaker 2: Kansas City, including some shots inside Arrowhead Stadium. So yeah,
- 23:10Speaker 2: I guess they're working on that now. They crank those
- 23:12Speaker 2: suckers out and get them ready to go, and people
- 23:15Speaker 2: like love stories and the Chiefs apparently that's what I hear.
- 23:19Speaker 3: Anyway.
- 23:21Speaker 2: The latest trend in flying is guys staring at a
- 23:25Speaker 2: GPS map shows you where your flight's headed. Guys get
- 23:29Speaker 2: on board and their flights and they have no book,
- 23:32Speaker 2: they have no smartphone to watch anything.
- 23:34Speaker 3: They aren't listening to anything. They just mindlessly stare at
- 23:38Speaker 3: the screen.
- 23:39Speaker 2: One flyer that does the practice said they did it
- 23:41Speaker 2: because they're nervous and they generally can't focus on anything
- 23:45Speaker 2: on the plane. No movies or TV shows or nothing.
- 23:48Speaker 2: They have no success with that, so they just stare
- 23:51Speaker 2: and watch it go and wait for it to arrive.
- 23:55Speaker 2: Is that like a watched pot thing not boiling? Because
- 23:58Speaker 2: I've stared at a pot and then it started to boil,
- 24:02Speaker 2: and I thought, well, clearly they've just been lying to us.
- 24:06Speaker 2: They've just been lying to us about the watch pot thing.
- 24:10Speaker 2: So I don't want to hear I don't want to
- 24:12Speaker 2: hear anything about the watch pot. I think this is
- 24:15Speaker 2: a If this is what calms them down while they're flying,
- 24:18Speaker 2: then do you stare at your phone?
- 24:20Speaker 3: You just stare at it.
- 24:23Speaker 2: Ferrari has opened a four hundred and fifty thousand square
- 24:25Speaker 2: foot factory that will be producing combustion engine cars and
- 24:28Speaker 2: the company's first ever electric vehicle, and the factory powered
- 24:32Speaker 2: by solar energy. They're calling it an E building, and
- 24:35Speaker 2: the goal is to produce high voltage batteries, electric motors,
- 24:39Speaker 2: and axles, all with renewable energy and by the end
- 24:42Speaker 2: of the year and then moving forward, they have plans.
- 24:44Speaker 2: Ferrari does to produce its first electric car.
- 24:48Speaker 3: By the end of next year.
- 24:50Speaker 2: So I could I guess, I don't know. Is that
- 24:54Speaker 2: are people I think people have kind of been rejecting
- 24:57Speaker 2: the electric car, so I don't know if that's if
- 25:03Speaker 2: that's in the best interest.
- 25:04Speaker 3: But you do your thing. You know, whatever you think
- 25:07Speaker 3: is going to.
- 25:07Speaker 2: Make everybody happy, right, whatever should be.
- 25:11Speaker 3: With your shareholders in mind. I guess whatever's making the employees.
- 25:15Speaker 2: And the people who own stock in the company or whatever,
- 25:19Speaker 2: they should be looked out for first and foremost right
- 25:22Speaker 2: and the customers.
- 25:24Speaker 3: I mean, you look out for the customers.
- 25:27Speaker 2: That'll look out for everybody else.
- 25:29Speaker 3: That'll do it.
