  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, twenty fifth day of July. I'm Wes. Thanks
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: for joining me. It is Friday, and you know what
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: that means. Some good news followed by some strange and
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: bizarre news from around the world. We got these happy
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: stories to set the tone, just to give us something
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: positive to think about. It's Friday. We got to shake
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: off some of the things that happened during the week.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Some of us had a rough week, some of us
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: had a good week. You know, some of you are
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: just waiting for the snark that comes with the strange
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: and bizarre news, and some of you say, hey, give
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: me something inspiring, some bit of inspiration. Well, I'm gonna
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: try to give you both of those things, and we're
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: going to start with this story. While renovating their home
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: in Nottingham, England, Charlotte England, Black and her husband stumbled
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: upon a rather unusual time capsule tucked away in the attic,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: an empty toilet paper roll with a message from a
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: seventeen year old girl written on it. The note was
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: written in red marker thirty five years ago. It began,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: my name is Emma Waddingham. My birthday is February the fourth,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: and I was born in nineteen eighty two. I'm seven
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: years old, nearly eight. And Emma closed the message by writing,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I hope you enjoy staying here, lots of love from
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: a friend.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Charlotte posted about the toilet paper roll time capsule on
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: a Facebook community page, and it took less than an
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: hour for now forty three year old Emma to be located.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Emma says she doesn't remember writing the note, but does
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: recall her childhood home, even small details like patterns on
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: the wallpaper. In the future, when Charlotte moves out, she
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: plans to leave the cardboard tube in the attic for
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the next homeowners so they can discover the time capsule.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: In another thirty five years, someone else might find it.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Charlotte said, it's nice to see if it gets found.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: It's a good story like it. I like it. Good
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: for you, Charlotte, like that you found the origin of
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: the note all right. Earlier in the month, a nine
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: year old girl, Ava Dalbeck of Superior, Wisconsin, was inspired
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: to set up a lemonade stan and raise money for
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the Northland Canine Foundation in Douglas County. Her goal was
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: to sell lemonade, cookies, and other treats and donate the
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: money to hard working police dogs in her area so
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: they could enjoy extra training and equipment. Ava's lemonade stan
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: was a huge success. It reached threes three hundred dollars.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: She says, their dogs protect our city from like anything
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: that happens, So I appreciate the fact that they can
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: protect our city and make us all safe. Douglas County
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Sheriff Matt Izard was very appreciative of Ava's generosity and
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: praised a for her community spirit. She's a very competitive kid. Obviously,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: she sets her goal and she wants to achieve them.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Like I said, every dollar helps when it comes to
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the canine funding. I like, you know when you get
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: kids that say we're gonna have a lemonade stand, all right,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: that's nice. We're gonna get a lemonade stand for dot
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: dot dot. When it's a cause like dogs specifically canine
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: units Way to Go, that's a good specific cause that
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Ava wanted to support. Tim Pereira is walking across America
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: from California to Virginia Beach to raise awareness for men's
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: mental health and suicide prevention again Great Cause. From twenty
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: sixteen to twenty twenty ten, battled a roller coaster of
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: depression and anxiety. It was a scary time, but Tim
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: worked his way through it, and it inspired him to
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: call attention to the problem by walking across the country, walking,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: not running. So far, he's walked more than two twenty
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: five hundred miles through five states warn seven pairs of shoes.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: If everything goes according to plan, he'll end his journey
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: in Virginia Beach and will have raised fifty thousand dollars
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: for men's mental health organizations along the way. Tim says,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I think the stigma is really strong for men. Providing
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: is good, protection is good, standing up for others is good.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: But the armor we carry and never take off really
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: weighs on us. It's good message, good idea. I like
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: that he's doing it. It does make me think of
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Forrest Gump. I can't help it. And if at some
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: point he's not thinking the song running on empty, I
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: think he's not doing it right. I think at least
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: he should should pop in his head at least once.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: All right, so good for them. Now it's time for
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: strange and bizarre news from around the world, and we
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: start with a man who was arrested after he got
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: drunk and decided to take his lawnmower for a ride
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: on the highway in Florida. Yeah it's in Florida. Highway
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: patrol received multiple calls about a man driving a lawnmower
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: radically on the highway and making sudden movements as if
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: he was mowing imaginary grass on the highway. Trooper stopped
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: thirty eight year old Christopher Spain of Tampa suspected he
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: was impaired. That seems like a good thing to suspect
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: if his poor decision making didn't give it away. His
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: small pupil's flushed skin, dry mouth, and visible irritation to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the inside of his nose sure gave it away. He
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: refused a series of field sobriety test and was arrested
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: on the suspicion of driving under the influence. I know
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: there's a minimum speed on most highways. I assume this
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: is true in Florida. I don't think the mower could
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: have been able to get up to that speed. That's
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: just a hunch. Police in Bangor, Maine were called out
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: to a neighborhood when a half naked man was on
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: a homeowner's roof trying to retrieve drug rugs from the chimney.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Drugs not Christmas presents. Thirty nine year old Stephen at
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Nason was wearing nothing but shortz climbed up on the
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: roof at about four am and stunned the homeowner, who
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: was awakened by strange noises. She and her boyfriend went
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: outside to investigate saw a ladder leaning up against the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: back of the house. They then noticed a strange man
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: sitting on the chimney, refusing to come down. He kept
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: shouting that he was trying to retrieve drugs from the chimney.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: If he's sitting on the chimney, he might have been
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: doing something else. I don't want to be graphic, but
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying he's sitting on the chimney. Maybe he
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: was leaving a Christmas present. Police and fire crews arrived,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: along with crisis negotiators. The fire department even raised a
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: rescue basket to the roof, hoping to coax Nason down gently,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: but instead of climbing in, he made a leap into
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the basket, grabbed the axe attached to it and jumped
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: back onto the roof, where he allegedly started chopping hole
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: in the roof. It wasn't smart. Why did they give
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: him an axe? After hours of negotiating, Nason finally surrendered.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: He was taken to the local hospital for evaluation and
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: arrested for aggravated criminal mischief creating a police standoff. And
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I suppose he should be charged with, you know, chopping
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: holes in the roof of a house with an axe.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Whoever sent the axe up I think is at least
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: partly responsible. That's just my thoughts. Emergency crews in Fresno, California,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: rushed to a canal after receiving a nine to one
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: to one call reporting a body trapped in the fast
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: moving water. Their concern wasn't the only thing that was inflated, though.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: It turns out it wasn't a person at all, but
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: a life sized blow up doll that was called against
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: a middle grade. Police and firefighters already were on the scene,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: ready to rescue, and instead found themselves dealing with a
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: very different situation. Authorities contacted the local irrigation to to
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: have the doll remove There's no word on how the
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: doll got there, probably better that we don't know. I mean,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know that there's anything positive to come out
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: of finding out exactly where the inflatable doll came from? Right,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: is there something positive to comfort? Do we need to
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: know whose inflatable doll it was? I don't know that
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: we need to know that. I think it's probably best
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: just to move on. A Louisiana man who was caught
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: red handed enjoying himself inside a display shed at Low's
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: has pleaded guilty to an obscenity charge. Sixty six year
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: old George Klivas was arrested after he was found inside
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: a display shed in the store's parking lot and treating
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: it like his own personal pleasure dome. A store manager
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: saw him through a window in the shed and called
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: nine to one one. When officers arrived, they found Cali
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Voss partially undressed, watching something on his phone. He was
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: taken into custody and later admitted to the act and
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: said he was missing his inflatable dolt.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: No.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Cali Vas pleaded guilty to a felony obscenity charge. Authorities
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: are reminding customers that they're free to display browse the
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: display sheds, but they're not private spaces. You can't just
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: move in. You can't go in there and do the
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: peewee herman. I don't know. Maybe that's bad. Maybe that's
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the data joke. Sorry. A woman in Key West is
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: facing assault charges after she allegedly attacked another driver with
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: bear mace to avenge the murder of a chicken. Thirty
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: eight year old Cynthia Sosa stopped at an intersection to
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: let a chicken cross the road. Unfortunately, she was never
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: able to get an answer to the age old question
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: about why it was crossing, because an impatient driver behind
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: her sped past her and ran over the chicken. You monster.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Sosa wasn't having it, so she chased the other driver
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: down and blocked their car. She tried to yank the
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: driver's door open, but when that didn't work, she opened
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: up a can of bear mace and sprayed it into
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the open window, hitting the driver directly in the face.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Sosa fled the scene, but was later arrested charged with
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: aggravated battery and burglary with as salt with bear mace. Yeah,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: I never thought about this, someone mentioned to me the
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: other day, And maybe I'm just way behind on this,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: but Apparently the joke the wand did the chicken cross
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: the road joke to get to the other side kind
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: of ties into like this story because I heard someone
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: say that it actually literally means that the chicken was
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: crossing the road to get hit and killed and to
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: go on to the other side, as in death, as
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: in to go to heaven. And that's what it means
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: for the chicken to get to the other side. It's
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: not the literal which is I think what made the
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: joke funny either trying to get to the other side
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: of the road, right unless another car comes up and
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: slams into you, and then of course then you go
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: to the other side. I had never thought about it
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: in those terms before, but someone made this point to
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: me recently, and I thought, Okay, never crossed my mind.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Don't know that I would have ever gotten there by myself,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: but anyway, a moment of on wonder at church goers
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: in the Philippines looking up to the sky last week
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: when Jesus suddenly appeared. Parishioners at a Catholic church were
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: left stunned when a cloud formation appeared to take the
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: shape of Jesus. The striking image was spotted during a
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: religious gathering, and many onlookers described it as a powerful,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: spiritual soign video of the cloud has gone viral, showing
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: what appears to be a robed figure with an outstretched
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: arms glowing in the sunlight. Some witnesses said it gave
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: them chills, while others called it a moment of divine reassurance.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Meteorologists chalk it up maybe as a coincidence of cloud dynamics,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: but many in the crowd said no, it was really
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: something much more meaningful to us. Let them have it, meteorologists,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Why do you have to ruin everything? Just let them
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: have their moment. How do you know it wasn't divine, meteorologists? Naked,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: covered in mud and destroying a van is no way
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: to go through life. But we're back in Florida for
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: this story. Deputies in the town of Austin, northeast of
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Orlando said they received a call from a property owner
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: who reported suspicious activity and damage to his work van.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: When they arrived, deputies discovered thirty one year old Zaid
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Khan emerging from a barn, completely naked and covered in mud.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Deputy say Khan told them that he had been following
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: the sun under the guidance of a so called higher
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: power and couldn't fully recall what had happened. His clothes
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: were later found scattered across the property. The homeowner reported
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: that shattered windows and opened a driver's door on the
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: van were found. Deputies also found a patio door left open,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: water running from a hose, and furniture moved around. Con
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: was taken to a hospital for evaluation and later booked
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: into jail, facing charges of burglary, trespassing, and indecent exposure,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: and for not admitting that he was trying to fight
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the predator. That's why you strip naked and get covered
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: in mud. Come on, predator, can't see you under that mud.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Get your torch and scream at him. Finally, a drunk
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: driver in northern California recently landed in the in prison
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: after officers found seventy empty beer cans inside his vehicle.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: The article's written, it said, in a can in the
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: can like for jail, and I just refused.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: To do it.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Cops stopped the suv after noticing the driver having a
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: hard time keeping the vehicle in a lane. An officer
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: approached the driver and noticed an empty beer can and
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: the cup holder suspecting the driver was intoxicated, conducted a
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: field sobriety test, which showed a blood alcohol level of
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: point twenty five percent, three times the legal limit. The
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: officer's suspicion also confirmed by the discovery of seventy empty
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: bud light cans strown all over the suv driver was
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: also driving on a suspended license related to a prior
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: DUI conviction. Uh, seventy empty cans. I mean, maybe he
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: was just collecting him because he was going to turn
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: him in and you know, get some money for him.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's what he was doing the whole time. Today's
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Space Science Center.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Hey everyone, this is doctor Sean Crusin, the executive director
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: of Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center. I
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: want to tell you about a very special exhibit that
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: we have on display the summer. It's so big that
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: it can't even fit in our own exhibit gallery. It's
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: just too many pieces. This is a collection of items
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: from the personal collection of astronaut David R. Scott. Dave
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Scott flew on Gemini eight with Neil Armstrong he flew
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: on Apollo nine a dress rehearsal for the moon landing,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: and then most importantly perhaps he commanded Apollo fifteen, where
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: he became the first person to ever drive a car
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: on the surface of the Moon. Because Dave's brother, Tom
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: lived and worked here in Columbus, Georgia with our Columbus
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Chamber of Commerce, we got to be good friends with Tom.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Tom has coordinated a very generous donation of artifacts and
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: memorabilia from the Scott Brothers collection to us here at
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center. And again, that collection got
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: so overwhelmingly large we couldn't put it on display here.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: That's why we're doing the exhibit at the bul Bartlet Center.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: They are open from eleven am to four pm Tuesday
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: through Saturday. Go down and check out this great exhibit
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: on display at the Bull Bartlet Center. Check out all
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: the other wonderful pieces of Arn't work down there as well,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: and then come visit us here at Columbus State University's
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Columbus for all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of square and that
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: away for you, and while they're there, you can always
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: and they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five

• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Morning Show right after the break. Well, the new survey
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: says video games not just for kids anymore. It took
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: a survey for people to find that out that adults
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: like to play video games twenty eight percent of the
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: roughly two hundred and five million gamers in the US
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: or over the age of fifty. The survey also found
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: that nearly half of Americans in their sixties and seventies
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: play some form of video game every week, as do
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: thirty six percent of people in their eighties. It seems
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: these older adults aren't just playing brain games either. Instead,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: many of them mixing it up with younger players on
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: multiplayer systems, giving them a boost of mental stimulation as
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: well as a social connection. All right, couple of observations.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: First of all, people that are fifty and up. And
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I'm fifty, so I can speak to that. But a
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: lot of us Gen X people are we grew up
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: playing video games. Therefore, as adults, we play video games
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: and we think if our kids are going to have
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: this expensive gaming system, then maybe we should also be
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: playing as well. All that applies to people of that
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: age fifty and up. Okay, So that's there, That's built
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: into the whole psyche of who we are.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: When you start talking about people in their sixties, maybe
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: some of them fit into this, But you start going
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: into the seventies and eighties, and I know this says
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: they're not just playing brain games. I got that. But
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: I do think the lions share probably doing something that
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: involves moving a jewel around. I think that's probably a
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: safe bet, right, they're moving a jewel around. Maybe are
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: we counting stuff like Wordle? Is that a video game?
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know, but I'm just saying,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: you get to a certain age, those are primarily the games.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: They're not playing Madden is all I'm saying. Some of
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: them are, I understand, I get it. According to the survey,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: can't be a lot of them though, a lot of
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: them are moving one jewel to another jewel and making
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: it go right. Isn't that what most of them are doing?
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: And that's fine. I'm not knocking it. It's actually good
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: for the brain. I'm not knocking any of it. Maybe
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: they're playing solitaire. That's fine too. I like to play
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: solitaire sometimes. I used to like to play some of
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: those jewel games. I don't really do that anymore, but
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you it's where a lot of the
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: gamings happening. Engineers have developed a gadget called the photon
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Matrix that uses AI and lasers to detect and zap
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: up to thirty mosquitoes per second, all without harming humans
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: or pets. Inventor Jim Wong says this thing can spot
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: a bug midflight and take it down in just three milliseconds,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: creating an iron dome for bugs. Wong and his company
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: are raising money to get the photon Matrix into production.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: If they pull it off, a basic version would be
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: priced about five hundred dollars, and a professional model we'll
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: clock in at about six hundred dollars. Yes, I think
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: we should insist that our in the Southeast, like every
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I think every city should have like one hundred of
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: these things spread around. We have mosquito problems. Man, maybe
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: thousands of these things everywhere. I could use two or
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: three just in my yard alone. So yeah, we're gonna
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: need more than we need to need. Ten thousand. Let's
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: go ahead and put an order in ten thousand of
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: the professional models.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Please.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Oh they're so bad that we're anywhere that we're just
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: really getting into the hot part of the season. It's
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: just really still coming. Still got some rough days ahead
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: of us, and they're still just everywhere already. Hey, uh,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: magic mushrooms in the Fountain of youth. This is according
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: to a new study. Psychedelic mushrooms could be the secret
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: to a longer, healthier life. Researchers found that silas cybin
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I guess that's how you say that silas sigmund a
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: compound found in certain mushrooms, might reduce cellular stress and
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: increase life span. Along with finding the stuff working on
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: aging mice, the scientists also found that human cells lived
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: up to fifty seven percent longer in lab conditions. Just
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: be careful, you know, there was a stretch where everybody
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: was trying to tell us that there were no negative
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: side effects of vaping. No negative side effects of marijuana
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: in marijuana and vaping are just everywhere. No vaping not
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: as a parent, because typically you don't smell that marijuana
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: vaping you do. I guess I smell it sometimes and
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I go I didn't even see anim Oh it's indoors
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: and they've got a vapepent got it. But just know
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: might not be quite as safe as they say. That's all.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not an expert. I'm not a mush tmologist. I'm
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: just telling you as a fact that just takes some precautions.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: This is one study. Don't necessarily need to go psychedelic
