  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, twenty third day of May. I'm Wes. Thanks
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: for joining me. Rolling on into Memorial Day weekend. And
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: it's multiple things, let's be clear on this. Most importantly,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: it is the Memorial Day holiday, which commemorates the fallen,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: those who gave all, and that's what the holiday is.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I understand there'll be people in your life that will
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: be telling you Happy Memorial Day and those sorts of things,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and some people can be quite hard on them. Just
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: know they probably don't realize what they're doing. It's okay
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: to cut them some slack, give them the benefit of
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: the doubt. We've all misspoken before. Cut them a little slack,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: that's all I'm saying. Just cut them a little slack
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: when it comes to that. It is important, though, that
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: we take some time to honor those in whatever way
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: we can, even if it's just being appreciative for their sacrifice.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: And in some cases it's about talking to someone that
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: you know who has served, that knows someone who did
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: not make it home with them, didn't make it back,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: someone who they lost that was serving, whether it was
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: in combat or someone that they lost while that they
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: were serving in those situations, So spending some time with them,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: taking a moment and another thing that I know that
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: i'd just like to mention. And I know that this
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: isn't Veteran's Day. That's another big misconception people have. They
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: confuse the Memorial Day holiday with Veterans Day, and that's
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: not what it is. But it is something that I
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: like to mention, especially around Veterans Day, and I think
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: it's also appropriate over this weekend, you will probably notice
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: more people wearing hats signifying their service. And I say
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: this because it's just something that I started doing, you know,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: years ago, where I actually started to think about this
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: in perspective of you know, maybe you leave your house
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: in its football season, and you're going to leave the
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: house and you're going to put a baseball hat on,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and you think too or a T shirt, but a
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: baseball hat for this analogy, and you say, I'm going
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: to wear the hat of my favorite team, and then
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: you kind of deliberately put it on, Whereas if it
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: wasn't football season or whatever sports ball you support, maybe
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: you just put on a regular hat that someplace that
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: you visited, or it's a hat that is, you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: just kind of a generic hat that you want to
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: cover your face. But during whatever sports season, you deliberately think,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I'm going to put this hat on. Whatever the hat
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: is your team and you wear it around. Well, when
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you see someone wearing one of those military style hats,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that signifies maybe you know when they served, which combat situations,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: they saw, which branch, which unit, whatever it is, know
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: that they made a conscious decision that day to put
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: that hat on. Right, they got up that morning and said,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go to the store, I'm going to
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: go out in public, I'm going to go for a walk,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to wear this hat while I'm out.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I try to make it a point to acknowledge their hat.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Most of the time they appreciate the acknowledgment. I can't
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: say I'm batting a thing. Sometimes I'm gonna hurry and
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: they don't look like they want anyone to talk to them.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: But for the most part I do it and they
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: are appreciative because again they started the day with I'm
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: gonna wear this hat, and I'm gonna wear this hat
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: that acknowledges my service. And again this isn't Veterans Day weekend.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: It's a Memorial Day. But this is someone who may
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: know someone who made the ultimate sacrifice. So taking a
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: moment to acknowledge it, even if it's just this weekend.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I understand some people don't do it all the time,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: some people don't have time, some people aren't thinking about it.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: But just maybe this weekend is a weekend to do that.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: It is Friday, so it's time for us to dive
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: on into the wonderful world that is strange and bizarre
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: news from around the world. And our first story certainly
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: a has a halfway around the world connection to it.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: It didn't take place halfway around the world, but it
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: does now. It wasn't long ago we had a story
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: here in the Chattahoochee Valley area about a pet kangaroo
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: that was on the loose on Interstate eighty five kind
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: of near Auburn, near Tuskegee in that area. Well, we
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: have another kangaroo story Durango, Colorado, where police were called
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: to wrangle a loose kangaroo. The kangaroo named Erwin. That's nice.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I like it. Steve Irwin, Bendy Irwin, any of them right,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: any of the Irwins basically got out of its owner's
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: house and started hopping around town. Officers responded safely, corralled
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: in the animal, and they were able to, you know,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: get the kangaroo back home. And they knew how to
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: handle the situation because they have dealt with kangaroos before
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: this specific kangaroo. In fact, when they were called back
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: in October to capture Erwin who escaped and was hopping
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: around town in a diaper, I think we had that story.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: If we didn't, I remember reading that story, if it
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: didn't make it onto the show. So they were familiar
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: with Erwin. They're keeping tabs on Irwin. Let's go to Florida,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: as we always eventually do, just about except for the
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: week when I intentionally stayed out of Florida, where a
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Florida man commonly known around his neighborhood as the most
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: annoying neighbor ever did something to help solidify that distinction.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: For twenty five years, Alan Davis has been racking up
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: code violations for a collection of junk piled high on
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: his property. The locals call him the junk Man. The
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: town keeps citing him about the mounds of scrap metal,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: rusted appliances, junk cars, a fuselage of an airplane on
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: his front lawn on the front lawn. The violations added
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: up to over five point four million dollars in fines.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: He refuses to pay them. He argues he's exercising his
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: First Amendment rights and has no plans to stop. In fact,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: he recently commemorated the twenty fifth anniversary of his first
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: code violation by installing a six foot tall fierglass sculpture
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: of human buttocks. Davis says the sculpture sends a message
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: to his neighbors and county officials that keep citing him.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: He says, you can kiss my buttocks, adding I pile
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: it up intentionally to aggravate them, the sixty nine year
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: old says. And he says, I've been to renegade all
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: my life and adds that freedom has a look. This
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: is what it looks like. This is freedom. Yeah. So
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: how he's kicking off his Memorial Day weekend with freedom? Yeah?
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: All right. Oh. The other things I was going to
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: say about Memorial Day is it's the unofficial start of summer.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: School's ending all those sorts of things. There's a few
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: things going on this weekend all right? Charleston, South Carolina,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: where police recently got to see a new side of Superman.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: They were observing a man walking in nothing but his
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: underwear and shoes and yelling incoherently. They say that he
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: kept insisting he was Superman and God. He was also
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: yelling about vague historic events and appeared to be drunk
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: or on drug some sort of intoxication. Police took the
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: man into custody, later to determine that he was not,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: in fact Superman, but fifty three year old William Mullins
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: McLeod junior, a well known local attorney and former political
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: figure who once ran for governor. In twenty ten, he
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: was arrested in charge with disorderly conduct. Too bad he
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: didn't win that governor's race. He could pardon himself. How
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: often do you pop your car's hood just to have
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: a look wildlife? Officials in Missouri think you should do
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: it somewhat frequently, just to make sure there's not an
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: animal hiding out in the engine compartment. The warning comes
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: after a mother in Eugene, Missouri, was driving her son
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: to baseball practice when suddenly spotted a black rat snake
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: pointing its head from underneath the hood. She and her
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: son pulled over and tried to scare the snake out
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: of the car, but it slithered back underneath the hood
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: and refused to leave. She ultimately drove over to the
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: school where she works and summoned some colleagues to help
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: her get the snake out of the car. Took a
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: lot of effort, but they eventually removed the snake and
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: safely returned it to the wild. Wild Life officials urge
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: other residents in the area to look under their hood
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: every so often because snakes can be attracted to the
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: warmth of the engine compartment, especially after a drive, and
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: they like dark, enclosed spaces. So, by the way, rat snake,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: good snake. I mean, really, she should have taken it
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: back home and let it go near her house. I
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: know you probably think I'm crazy for saying it, but
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: those they are good snakes. That's the kind of snake
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: that you want around. The rat snake. A prison inmate
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: in Vermont has been trying to secure an early release,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: but all he's really been able to do is extend
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: is stay behind bars by racking up a whopping eleven
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: hundred contempt of court charges. Fifty one year old Todd
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Slade really wants out of Marble Valley Correctional Center, where
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: he's doing time for domestic assaults. So he's been trying
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: to get in touch with a victim in his case,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: hoping they would change their story to investigators to help
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: him get out. He attempted to reach the victim by
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: phone or internet not once, but eleven hundred and forty
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: six times. That's over a four month span. Each time
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: he tried, he was charged with contempt of court. Slade
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: remains locked up and will be a ragin on the
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: new charges next month. Yeah, maybe just let it go.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I don't think this is working out the way you
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: were hoping, and now you got these new charges that
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: don't really have anything to do with the victim, So
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: probably not going to go your way anyway, right. A
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: five year old in Pennsylvania nearly turned their kindergarten class
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: into a frat party when they passed around jello shots
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: to some of the classmates. You already see where this
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: is coming, right, This is going in a very specific direction.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: The Greater Johnstown School District says the student brought the
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: shots to the school and served them to three other
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: children before staff quickly intervened. The district called it an
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: isolated incident and said emergency services were called immediately. The
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: children were checked by the school nurse and taken to
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the hospital as a precaution. Fortunately the kids were okay.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Police investigating how the child got access to the jello shots. Yeah,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: you had to know what was coming, right, We're gonna
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: be kids actually taking the jello shots. Uh. Dropping a
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: phone on the floor scary thing unless you got one
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: of those otter boxes. I swear by him. People think
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I'm weird while you got a box, You're an old man.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Case I don't care. I dropped my phone a lot,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: but I've never dropped it fourteen thousand feet. Casey Flay,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: a British skydiving enthusiast, recently jumped out of a plane
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: at fourteen thousand feet for got to close one of
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: the pockets on his wingsuit and his iPhone thirteen pro
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: mac slipped out fell to the ground. After he landed safely,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: he used the fine iPhone app and located it four
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: miles away from where he landed. He headed over to
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: where it was and was shocked. Not only that he'd
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: found it, but it was still working, and he said
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: it was even working better than before because a button
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: that had been stuck ever since he accidentally spilled a
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: drink on it now seems to be working perfectly. I
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: always saw you're just supposed to, like put your phone
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: in rice if you spilled something on it. I didn't know,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: like to get the water out. I didn't know dropping
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: it fourteen thousand feet was even an option to fix it.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: But hey, if it works, go with it. I'm not
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: encouraging you to do it. I'm just saying it worked
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: for this particular fella. Yeah, a road rage incident landed
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: a Texas grandfather in jail, all because of a flying burrito.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Police say fifty six year old Orturo Villarreal was in
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: a Dollar Tree parking lot. This has all the makings
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: of a great story. Dollar Tree parking lot grandfather, Texas
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: flying burrito. He's in the Dollar Tree parking lot with
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: his granddaughters when he got into a heated argument with
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: another driver. Villarreal attempted to drive away. When the other
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: driver reportedly threw a burrito at his car. Villariol responded
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: by turning his car around and ramming the other driver's vehicle,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: causing major damage. Police were called an arrested villar Reel
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The other driver
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: who threw the burrito was not arrested because the burrito
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: caused no damage to the car and it is not,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: in fact a deadly weapon unless it does some serious
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: damage to your intestines, which sometimes it happens. It'll get
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: your gut in your intestinal track, and it can cause
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: problems in which case, But apparently if you don't eat
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: it and it just hits your car, it's not considered
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: deadly at all. All right, cats and nine lives, you
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: know how this works. And apparently some cats may also
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: have GPS installed. George, a determined cat in Lakeland, Florida,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: escaped from a vets' office after being neutered. As soon
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: as he awoke from the anesthesia, George busted out of
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: his cage, scale a fence ran off into the wild.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: He was eventually found a week later back at his
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: home about three miles away, where his stunned owner found
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: him sitting in his favorite chair. George had apparently figured
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: out his way home, which required him to dodge traffic
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: cross multiple roads, all while still groggy from the anesthesia,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: and loaded up with other drugs. His owner, Bob Beascock, said,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: George looked like he'd returned from a granded and was
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: a bit thinner, clearly hungry, but otherwise no worse for
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: the wear. I'd like to see a movie made about
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: George's adventure. You know, groggy, little loopy, you know, neotered,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: all these things going against this guy, and he somehow
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: found his way home. It's kind of a sweet story,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: isn't it. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State

• 17:04
  Speaker 2: brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that

  Speaker 2: and while they're there, you can always ask them questions
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: quite what you want it to be and you need
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: it's some sort of installation issue that you've got with
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: like to add a screen door to your garage door
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: system that you can put down and you can use
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: garage door won't open, and you need somebody to come help,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: And they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five eight
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Morning Show right after the break. All right. The delay
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: of Grand Theft Auto six until next May is costing
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: the gaming industry a lot of money. Some industry number
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: crunchers concluded there will be a staggering two point seven
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: billion dollar decline in revenue in twenty twenty five because
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: of one game's delay. It's a lot of money, but
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: the gaming market will survive and thrive. It's expected to
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: cross that two hundred billion mark this year thanks to
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: in some degree, the release of the Nintendo Switch two,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: which is coming very soon. Yeah, the Grand Theft Auto
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: franchise is this is a highly awaited release and a
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: lot of talk about it. So next year sometime, but
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: it's interesting to think they had kind of planned it
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: into their budgets, I guess, and they're getting ready for
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: that hit. The Indianapolis five hundred happens this weekend. If
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: you can't wait for the race. They say today on
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports, they'll be running the Wiener five hundred. You'll
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: get a six oscar Myer Wienermobiles racing at the end
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: AMPLEUS Motor Speedway. So yeah, if you got nothing going
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: on today, you can check out the Wiener five hundred
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: six Wienermobiles. Writing. So, the Wienermobile came to town once
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: and I was trying really hard to get let me
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: drive it, and they won't do that. You know, they're
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: they're not really big on letting you drive the Wienermobile.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: I thought, can I just drive it? Afoot? Can I
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: just drive it a short distance? That's all I want?
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Just like I'll just let me just pull it forward
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: a foot and that's it. I thought it would be
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: a good. No, they wouldn't let me do it. And
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: I guess I could always accidentally push the gas too
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: hard and the Wienermobile go flying, and that would be bad,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: you know. Legendary actor James Earl Jones passed away less
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: than a year ago, and AI is allowing his voice
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: to live on in the game A Fortnite. James Earl
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Jones Actually he gave permission to Star Wars, his family
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: and everything to get any proceeds from using his voice
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: moving forward. He wants to always be the voice of
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Darth Vader. So the Darth Vader character returned as a
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: boss in the game Fortnite. In the Battle Royale, the
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: players can ask Vader questions which will be answered in
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Vader's voice using conversational AI and yeah, blessings for this
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: specific use of his voice. As Darth Vader came from
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: the Jones family and kind of neat, nice way to
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: blend the two nerdoms. I guess the gaming as well,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: and I say that and only the most affectionate way possible.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Some people consider the grain keene waw to be a
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: super food because of all the nutrients he contains. Brew
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Theory Brewery is trying to unlock all the goodness of
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: keenwa by using it to brew beer, and they've had
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: some success as their beer is gluten free and supposedly
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: helps people avoid that bloated feeling that regular beer delivers.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: As they perfect the recipe, they hope that it will
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: appeal to people who were more health conscious, the health
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: conscious beer drinker. That's their specific audience that they're going for.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: So a unique car renovator in Wales named Tamir Ali,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: turned an old private jet into an Airbnb. A year
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: and a half ago. Ali purchased the nineteen seventies Hawker
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: jet that was previously used by oil executives. He removed
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: the wings and renovated it to include two bedrooms, a
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: fully functioning kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower. It's
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: now listed on Airbnb, available for rent for up to
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: two adults and two children. I like stories like this.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I think it's really great. Whenever you got this kind
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: of situation where their take making an old like a
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: plane or just some real cool thing and turning it
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: into something. I know there's ones that they say, oh,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: this is a potato you're sleeping in, but it's not
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: a real potato. This is a real jet that you
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: can sleep in, so for the second you're in a row.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Corona has topped the charts as the world's most valuable
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: beer brand in the world for its yearly Global Rankings report.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Number crunchers at the marketing company Cantar figured out Corona
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: is worth about nineteen billion dollars down in second place. Gee,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: I wonder why Budweiser, Heineken, MODELO, michelob Ultra Brahma, Bud Light, Skull,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Stella Artois, and Guinness rounding out the top ten. So
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: it's kind of interesting, isn't it. All the COVID Corona
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: talk and somehow that came to the top. It's just
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: an interesting thing. But also, you know, you know why
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Budweiser dropped. We all know the story. They had a little,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: just a little controversy, just a little and they still
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: haven't fully bounced one hundred percent back. So all right,
• 24:06
