Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to The West Carroll Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, seventh day of April. I'm West thanks for
0:16
Speaker 2: joining me. Getting some fantastic images coming in from Artemis
0:23
Speaker 2: two of the moon, just some fantastic stuff. And I
0:29
Speaker 2: gotta tell you right now, I heard from a number
0:32
Speaker 2: of you yesterday congratulating me on the naming of Carol Crater.
0:38
Speaker 2: No it's not me. I'd love to take credit for it,
0:42
Speaker 2: but it's actually a really sweet thing done. Reid Wiseman,
0:45
Speaker 2: the commander of the mission. His wife passed away in
0:49
Speaker 2: twenty twenty and her first name was Carol, spelled like
0:53
Speaker 2: my last name. So I guess there is a chance
0:56
Speaker 2: there's a common relative somewhere, because normally the name Carol
1:02
Speaker 2: would be spelled you know, the traditional woman's name Carol
1:06
Speaker 2: would be spelled with one R and one L. So
1:11
Speaker 2: perhaps she's named after someone in the family lineage who
1:17
Speaker 2: had the last name Carol. But anyway, really sweet, really nice.
1:21
Speaker 2: The astronaut's being given opportunities to use some names along
1:26
Speaker 2: the way. But those of you who heard it and
1:30
Speaker 2: thought it, I mean, what a flattering thing it would
1:33
Speaker 2: have been just to know that someone on Artemis too
1:38
Speaker 2: had been listening to Made of Stars. Now I can
1:40
Speaker 2: tell you this, there are people who have worked on
1:44
Speaker 2: the mission who have listened to the Made of Stars
1:48
Speaker 2: podcast and are familiar with Sean Cruizen and Eye, and
1:51
Speaker 2: some of them we know personally. Some of them we've
1:53
Speaker 2: gotten to know personally. But when we were down at
1:57
Speaker 2: the Kennedy Space Center a couple of years ago for
1:59
Speaker 2: the arrival of the Artemist booster, we got to interview
2:03
Speaker 2: a lot of the project managers and different department heads
2:08
Speaker 2: and people that would be working on the Artemist two.
2:12
Speaker 2: So many of the people who are really having a
2:15
Speaker 2: great stretch having the best week ever, remember that show.
2:20
Speaker 2: They've been having the best week ever since the Artemist
2:22
Speaker 2: two launched. So anyway, as flattering as it would have been,
2:30
Speaker 2: you know, realism kicks in and you go no, no, no.
2:34
Speaker 2: And I was able to say no, it's a relative
2:38
Speaker 2: of the commander of the mission because I had had
2:42
Speaker 2: already heard it. But I do appreciate those of you.
2:44
Speaker 2: You know, if you want to believe it, you want
2:46
Speaker 2: to believe it was because of me, you can you
2:48
Speaker 2: can believe whatever you want. I'm not here to tell
2:50
Speaker 2: you why you can and can't believe. That's not my job.
2:56
Speaker 2: That's not what I do for a living. I get
2:58
Speaker 2: paid to do other things. They get paid to make
3:00
Speaker 2: and try to make some points on here from time
3:04
Speaker 2: to time and occasionally have an opportunity to say, hey,
3:09
Speaker 2: I told you so, And I got one of those
3:11
Speaker 2: coming up a little bit later on now so much
3:13
Speaker 2: and I told you well, I mean it's and I
3:14
Speaker 2: told you so, But it's just I don't know. There's
3:18
Speaker 2: things that some people just see. You can see where
3:21
Speaker 2: things are heading and where they're going, and something that
3:25
Speaker 2: I called a while back as starting to it's playing
3:29
Speaker 2: out in a lot of ways. But anyway, we'll get
3:32
Speaker 2: to that in just a second. I did want to
3:35
Speaker 2: point this out, and I think we'll probably address this
3:37
Speaker 2: a little bit on the next Mate of Stars podcast
3:41
Speaker 2: that we'll release on Thursday. And you know, if you're
3:46
Speaker 2: not already listening to Met of Stars, this is the season.
3:49
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot going on with Artemis two.
3:52
Speaker 2: This is the time that you should be definitely checking
3:55
Speaker 2: it out. And with more and more pressure for our
3:58
Speaker 2: federal government to release more information about possible UAP discoveries,
4:05
Speaker 2: or some people have even challenged alien life and all
4:08
Speaker 2: these things. I mean, it feels like the time is
4:12
Speaker 2: now to get hooked on the Mate of Stars podcast.
4:14
Speaker 2: But anyway, we'll probably discuss this on Thursday. But I
4:19
Speaker 2: just thought it was worth mentioning because I talked about
4:21
Speaker 2: it here and if you did it, then you're in.
4:27
Speaker 2: But I talked about the the plushy that was made
4:34
Speaker 2: and that was sent on board the Artemis mission. It's there,
4:42
Speaker 2: no gravity check. You know, you have it inside the cockpit.
4:45
Speaker 2: It floats around in there. It lets you know what
4:48
Speaker 2: the gravity levels are and things once it starts floating.
4:51
Speaker 2: That's something they've been doing now with missions for a while.
4:54
Speaker 2: And inside that particular plush she is the thumb drive
5:03
Speaker 2: that has the names of all of the like five
5:05
Speaker 2: million people who submitted to have their name put on
5:09
Speaker 2: a thumb drive so that their names at least could
5:11
Speaker 2: travel around the Moon. So if you did that, if
5:14
Speaker 2: you took up NASA on that offer and you heard
5:18
Speaker 2: me talk about it and said, hey, I want to
5:20
Speaker 2: do that, your name is inside that plushy, which is
5:22
Speaker 2: kind of cool, and it's traveling around and I you know,
5:26
Speaker 2: I assumed that it was somewhere on board. I hadn't
5:28
Speaker 2: heard any mention of it. And then yeah, my lovely
5:33
Speaker 2: bride said that she saw the story about them putting
5:35
Speaker 2: it in the plushy and I said, well, there you go.
5:38
Speaker 2: So I thought I would mention that. They said like
5:40
Speaker 2: five million people were part of that, So that's pretty
5:43
Speaker 2: cool that it got to that number. So my name,
5:48
Speaker 2: hopefully your name, the name of my all of my
5:51
Speaker 2: members of my family, including my dog, and including a
5:55
Speaker 2: mention of the Mate of Stars podcast, all currently in
5:59
Speaker 2: deep space now relatively speaking, deep space from us. I mean,
6:03
Speaker 2: that's how you have to look at it as they
6:07
Speaker 2: make this historic trip for a number of reasons. Okay,
6:13
Speaker 2: and we'll have all the latest on that on Thursday
6:16
Speaker 2: on Meta Stars. So now I want to talk about
6:20
Speaker 2: something that I told you was coming, and sadly it's
6:23
Speaker 2: playing out as go back. You know, weeks we were
6:29
Speaker 2: talking about Gavin Newsom, who was trying to paint this
6:34
Speaker 2: picture of independent journalist Nick Shirley as being some kind
6:39
Speaker 2: of a creepy monster. Remember, he was posting on x
6:44
Speaker 2: and other social media platforms this ai picture of someone
6:49
Speaker 2: that was supposed to be Nick Shirley, and he was
6:52
Speaker 2: going into like a daycare saying, ah, and to take
6:56
Speaker 2: pictures of your kids, let me see your kids, just
6:59
Speaker 2: making him just creepy and icky, and you know, just
7:05
Speaker 2: I mean, lots of things were being implicated there. And
7:10
Speaker 2: if you weren't listening then and you're not familiar, if
7:12
Speaker 2: the name Nick Shirley doesn't ring a bell, that's okay.
7:15
Speaker 2: This is the guy who went He's gone to a
7:18
Speaker 2: number of protests. He talks to protesters and things at events,
7:22
Speaker 2: ask them questions about you know, the oh Ice is
7:25
Speaker 2: deporting him illegal alien? What does illegal mean? He asked
7:27
Speaker 2: questions like that. And the other thing that he really
7:32
Speaker 2: made a name for himself for is he's the guy
7:34
Speaker 2: who was in Minneapolis Saint Paul area and going to
7:39
Speaker 2: the daycares that had gotten millions of money in federal
7:45
Speaker 2: or money from the state in Minnesota to have these
7:49
Speaker 2: daycare facilities to get assistance there. This is all part
7:53
Speaker 2: of the Minnesota scam that has been a fraud that
7:59
Speaker 2: was you know, ruled over by the governor there, guy
8:03
Speaker 2: who ran for vice president. I mean, it's it's just
8:10
Speaker 2: it's just ridiculous. So governor. Walls there who you know
8:15
Speaker 2: in charge? Buck stops with him. He's not going to
8:20
Speaker 2: run for governor again. A disgrace. And I told you
8:23
Speaker 2: back when we talked about that he was the useful
8:26
Speaker 2: idiot they were hoping would be a vice presidential useful idiot.
8:31
Speaker 2: It's what they're looking for, it's what they This has
8:34
Speaker 2: been their strategy and their game plan, and if they
8:37
Speaker 2: continue to do it, you can expect to see Republicans
8:40
Speaker 2: in for a while. Although it's worked. It just worked
8:43
Speaker 2: with the Biden Harris campaign. It worked with Obama and Biden.
8:48
Speaker 2: Biden was the useful idiot that Democrats wanted as the
8:52
Speaker 2: VP for Obama. So Nick Shirley exposing going to these
9:00
Speaker 2: daycares saying where are the kids? Why are there no
9:03
Speaker 2: kids here? If this is a daycare, and there were
9:06
Speaker 2: no answers. People were confused, they didn't know why he
9:09
Speaker 2: was there. He's showing them the address, He's showing them,
9:12
Speaker 2: you know the receipts. Here's here's where you got two
9:15
Speaker 2: point six million dollars to have this as a daycare.
9:19
Speaker 2: Why is it not a daycare? Where are the kids?
9:21
Speaker 2: And the people would pretend not to speak English, or
9:23
Speaker 2: maybe not speak English, I don't know, and then run
9:27
Speaker 2: and hide. And there's no evidence that there's been any
9:29
Speaker 2: work done to a facility to have kids there as
9:31
Speaker 2: a daycare. One place in particular at least made the
9:35
Speaker 2: effort to say, oh, they are on a holiday break,
9:41
Speaker 2: and then like the next day or two days later,
9:43
Speaker 2: in the same week, they invited the press to come
9:46
Speaker 2: and see all the kids there, and the press went
9:48
Speaker 2: and did you know what the press tends to do
9:50
Speaker 2: now showed up and said, oh good, Nick Shirley's wrong,
9:55
Speaker 2: not never once asking the question, if you're on a
9:57
Speaker 2: holiday break, did you end the holiday b to bring
10:00
Speaker 2: in a bunch of kids and say, look, it's a daycare?
10:04
Speaker 2: Cause they didn't. They didn't do that. They should have.
10:08
Speaker 2: It should have been the most obvious question of all.
10:10
Speaker 2: If Monday it's a holiday and they've got the week off,
10:14
Speaker 2: and then Wednesday there's kids there, whatever the days were,
10:17
Speaker 2: the question should have been why are they here if
10:20
Speaker 2: they're on a holiday break, if they've got the week off.
10:25
Speaker 2: That should have been a question that any rational human being,
10:29
Speaker 2: especially someone who's supposed to be inquisitive as a journalist,
10:34
Speaker 2: you should be asking those questions, right. So that's what
10:39
Speaker 2: he's primarily known for, exposing the fraud there. And he
10:42
Speaker 2: came out with a message on x saying, if you
10:46
Speaker 2: thought the fraud Minnesota was bad, wait till we expose California, which,
10:51
Speaker 2: of course I mean Ultimately, his work in Minnesota took
10:59
Speaker 2: down Governor Wall's ability to say I'm I'm gonna run
11:03
Speaker 2: for governor again. He had to give it up. Governor
11:06
Speaker 2: of California, Gavin Newsom the worst kept secret in history
11:10
Speaker 2: that he wants to be president. And I guess he's
11:12
Speaker 2: been traveling the country and I saw a story. I
11:16
Speaker 2: didn't actually dive into it. I just saw where it
11:18
Speaker 2: said that his wife had made a comment about they
11:21
Speaker 2: wanted to go in the country, especially in the South,
11:23
Speaker 2: so the kids could see racism up close or something.
11:26
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's true. It sounds believable, It
11:31
Speaker 2: completely sound. Remember when Phonsie went to the South to
11:35
Speaker 2: exposed racism and he fixed it and went to a
11:38
Speaker 2: He went to a restaurant and went to the counter
11:41
Speaker 2: and fixed it anyway, And then remember Rocky fixed racism,
11:45
Speaker 2: but he did that in Philadelphia. I think I think
11:49
Speaker 2: he was in Philly with Pollo Creed. Remember he did
11:52
Speaker 2: that and they ran on the beach and they fixed
11:54
Speaker 2: it and they hugged and everything was fine. And then
11:56
Speaker 2: he ended communism in Rocky four. Rocky was he man?
12:01
Speaker 2: I mean, Phonsie did good work, but Rocky, I mean
12:05
Speaker 2: ended the Cold War in Rocky form. Sorry spoiler alert,
12:09
Speaker 2: What was I talking about? Sometimes you get off on
12:14
Speaker 2: a tangent. So Gavin Newsom wants to be president, and
12:20
Speaker 2: we could derail things if this Nick Shirley stuff is.
12:24
Speaker 2: You know, this could completely throw things out of whack.
12:27
Speaker 2: Could completely throw things out of whack, is what it
12:30
Speaker 2: could do for him. He's just seen Tim wall say
12:34
Speaker 2: I can't run for cover anymore. And then you got
12:37
Speaker 2: a guy who's, you know, I want to run for president.
12:41
Speaker 2: He'd been doing his little tour around the country into
12:44
Speaker 2: the South to see racism up close or whatever, oppression
12:47
Speaker 2: and all those things. I think that was his wife
12:50
Speaker 2: though that was the story. The report said that his
12:53
Speaker 2: wife said it, but in fairness, I didn't vet it.
12:56
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna be honest here. I'm not a journalist,
12:58
Speaker 2: but I try to be as accurate as I can.
13:00
Speaker 2: I did see that that was said, but anyway, it
13:04
Speaker 2: was his wife. Can't necessarily hold his uh you know,
13:09
Speaker 2: him accountable for that if if that's what she did.
13:12
Speaker 2: But anyway, can't afford to get derailed, cannot afford to
13:20
Speaker 2: get derailed if he's going to be the president he
13:23
Speaker 2: thinks he is. He thinks that's what he's going to do.
13:26
Speaker 2: So he fired shots at Nick Shirley and he posted these.
13:29
Speaker 2: He basically, you know, attacked him on social media. And
13:34
Speaker 2: I told you then that I was concerned for Nick
13:39
Speaker 2: Shirley because I felt like this wasn't being done to
13:44
Speaker 2: just say, let's let's go after his credibility. This was
13:48
Speaker 2: there to paint him as evil, demonic, someone who you
13:54
Speaker 2: know in this in this conversation of what a lot
13:57
Speaker 2: of people on the left like to do, they ultimately, indirectly,
14:02
Speaker 2: sometimes directly, put a hit. That's what they're doing. They're
14:08
Speaker 2: sending up the target and they're saying, Hey, this guy's creepy.
14:12
Speaker 2: He wants to look at kids, he wants to go
14:15
Speaker 2: out and look at kids. This guy's should give you
14:18
Speaker 2: the e should just give you the creeps. Man. If
14:21
Speaker 2: he doesn't give you the oh, this guy's a problem.
14:24
Speaker 2: He's dangerous and I told you this has been a
14:28
Speaker 2: while now. I was concerned that he could end up
14:32
Speaker 2: being a target for them because I felt like that's
14:35
Speaker 2: what they were trying to do. Well. Nick Shirley now
14:39
Speaker 2: has appeared on a show and has talked about the fatacy.
14:46
Speaker 2: The name of the show that he was on. I
14:48
Speaker 2: want to give credit to the person who did the interview.
14:51
Speaker 2: But he says that he has to travel with security now,
14:56
Speaker 2: that he has to have security now. And this is
15:02
Speaker 2: where I told you that this was going This was
15:04
Speaker 2: going to be a thing that if he wanted to
15:07
Speaker 2: have safety, he was going to need security, and I
15:10
Speaker 2: was concerned about him. And now we're seeing that this
15:18
Speaker 2: seems to at least be the case. Sean Whalen, it's
15:21
Speaker 2: the guy's name, the Sean Whalen Show, and he says
15:25
Speaker 2: that he is having to, yeah, travel with security, and
15:30
Speaker 2: he says, you're seeing how evil the world is. I mean,
15:34
Speaker 2: they killed Charlie Kirk not far from here. Who is
15:36
Speaker 2: he a Christian man spreading the truth and they killed him.
15:43
Speaker 2: And he believes that basically that people think that they're
15:53
Speaker 2: doing missionary work is the term he used through their
15:57
Speaker 2: actions and he basically said that he was worried about
16:01
Speaker 2: his personal safety. He said, I have to have security
16:03
Speaker 2: with me now because people have openly said they want
16:05
Speaker 2: to kill me too. It's not fun. I don't enjoy it.
16:09
Speaker 2: Like not being able to go out or feel like
16:11
Speaker 2: you can go out and do stuff is not the
16:13
Speaker 2: funnest thing in the world. And he says it's not
16:16
Speaker 2: the funnest thing, honestly, to have to plan everything. Okay,
16:21
Speaker 2: I'm going to be here for this long, be there
16:23
Speaker 2: for that long. This is the life that he's now
16:27
Speaker 2: living because of his work that he believes is an
16:30
Speaker 2: act of faith. He says, I feel like I've been
16:34
Speaker 2: doing what God wants me to do. I feel like
16:36
Speaker 2: I'm in line with that. And he said, I think
16:39
Speaker 2: the most important thing to think is to think with
16:43
Speaker 2: common sense. If things don't sound right and they don't
16:45
Speaker 2: feel right, there's a possibility or there's probably something that's
16:49
Speaker 2: not right about what's going on. So he talked about
16:55
Speaker 2: political protests, he talked about a number of other things,
16:57
Speaker 2: but basically, he says, when you know that you're at
17:00
Speaker 2: least seeking for the truth, you shouldn't be afraid to
17:03
Speaker 2: voice your opinion. And that's something that he said to
17:05
Speaker 2: younger people that feel like they can't speak up, well
17:11
Speaker 2: when you have, even if it's just a very vague
17:15
Speaker 2: and very veiled threat on you that is coming from
17:19
Speaker 2: high ranking people that want high office. You know that's
17:24
Speaker 2: happening on X, or it's happening on social media or
17:29
Speaker 2: wherever it's happening. Just know, there's a reason that people
17:34
Speaker 2: feel like they can't poke their head up without worrying
17:37
Speaker 2: about whack them mole, you know, and whack in a
17:42
Speaker 2: soprano sense, or just whack in a cancelation sense. Whatever.
17:48
Speaker 2: But he's right to think of himself in terms of
17:50
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk because he's getting the threats and he's got
17:53
Speaker 2: people that are making these threats and telling him that
17:58
Speaker 2: you know, they'll get him, that they're going to kill him,
18:01
Speaker 2: and how can you not take it seriously? There was
18:03
Speaker 2: a time when maybe you just go these people aren't serious.
18:06
Speaker 2: They're serious, And when you got the governor of California
18:10
Speaker 2: trying to paint you as a creepy little pedophile and
18:13
Speaker 2: a daycare certainly gives people the opportunity to say, oh,
18:19
Speaker 2: that guy, he's a creep, he's dangerous, and you know
18:22
Speaker 2: what happens when they convince you that someone's dangerous. They
18:26
Speaker 2: said Charlie Kirk was dangerous and Donald Trump at least
18:30
Speaker 2: his ear was dangerous. Right. Today's show brought to you
18:33
Speaker 2: by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring

Speaker 2: do it for school age kids as school age kids
18:50
Speaker 2: visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also
18:53
Speaker 2: do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
18:59
Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
19:03
Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
19:07
Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,

Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
21:13

21:21
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
21:25
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like
21:27
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
21:30
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
21:32
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
21:34
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
21:37
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
21:40

Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show right
21:59
Speaker 2: after the break, well with things in the world chaotic,
22:12
Speaker 2: and they are They're chaotic. Apparently, parents of young kids
22:17
Speaker 2: are rediscovering gentle TV. What is gentle TV? Well, it's
22:22
Speaker 2: those calm, slow paced kid shows from the nineties and
22:27
Speaker 2: early two thousands, shows like Little Bear, Franklin, Max and
22:32
Speaker 2: Ruby making a comeback because they offer something that today's fast,
22:37
Speaker 2: flashy kid shows don't really and that soothing story, soft colors,
22:42
Speaker 2: and more relaxed pace. Experts say the slower shows can
22:46
Speaker 2: help us with focus, or help them with focus more importantly,
22:49
Speaker 2: but I guess us as a parent sometimes emotional regulation
22:54
Speaker 2: and even make them more prepared for kindergarten. Many parents
22:58
Speaker 2: say that the Gendler vibe feels like a welcome break
23:01
Speaker 2: from over stimulating modern programming and the kids seem calmer
23:05
Speaker 2: because of it. My kids watched a lot of like
23:10
Speaker 2: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Wiggles and things like that. Wiggles
23:14
Speaker 2: the Australian influence, and I know you don't have to
23:16
Speaker 2: have an Australian family to appreciate the wiggles. But you know,
23:21
Speaker 2: we did a lot of wiggles, a lot of music
23:24
Speaker 2: in the house, and our kids are very musical from it.
23:27
Speaker 2: And I mentioned the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse largely because one
23:31
Speaker 2: of the things that got me through some of the
23:33
Speaker 2: and I didn't for the most part, I didn't mind
23:37
Speaker 2: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Of my kids. I could sit there
23:40
Speaker 2: and watch it with them and it was fine. But
23:42
Speaker 2: I did have moments where I would kind of phase
23:45
Speaker 2: into this idea that I was just watching Seinfeld. And
23:50
Speaker 2: if you think about it, there are some character similarities.
23:54
Speaker 2: You know, Mickey's Jerry Donald is absolutely George Costanza. You know,
24:03
Speaker 2: Goofy as Cramer fits many of course as a lane,
24:07
Speaker 2: you know, you could go Susan and Daisy. I know
24:10
Speaker 2: that was but that's as close as you're gonna get.
24:12
Speaker 2: But you go Susan as Daisy, that's fine. And then
24:15
Speaker 2: you got Newman his Pete. It fits. And if you
24:19
Speaker 2: just kind of sit there while you're watching it with
24:21
Speaker 2: your kids, at least used to be the case. I
24:23
Speaker 2: could just kind of just imagine I was watching an
24:26
Speaker 2: episode of Seinfeld where you know, toodles would have to
24:30
Speaker 2: come in and fix something, you know, so Bob Sakamano
24:34
Speaker 2: or something. I don't know. Maybe tootles was just generic
24:37
Speaker 2: for whatever character had to come in and fix something
24:39
Speaker 2: in that episode or help out. But it got me
24:42
Speaker 2: through a lot of episodes of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. There's
24:46
Speaker 2: a Chinese company called Galbot Robotics has developed a humanoid
24:50
Speaker 2: robot that can hold its own in a real time
24:53
Speaker 2: tennis rally against a human. The robot uses specialized AI
24:56
Speaker 2: systems to track fast moving balls and navigate the court
25:01
Speaker 2: with a millisecond level reactions. Unlike previous robots that relied
25:05
Speaker 2: on rigid, preprogrammed scripts, this thing taught itself to play
25:10
Speaker 2: by studying fragments of human movement, learning to swing, step
25:14
Speaker 2: and aim just like a real athlete. In simulation tests,
25:17
Speaker 2: a return shots with a staggering ninety six percent accuracy.
25:21
Speaker 2: Let it play against girls? Why not just let it
25:26
Speaker 2: play against women? It let the robots dominate against women.
25:30
Speaker 2: It seems fair, doesn't it? You know, it just seems fair.
25:35
Speaker 1: All right.
25:35
Speaker 2: It's been twenty years since the International Astronomical Union the
25:38
Speaker 2: IAU stripped Pluto of its planet status, but it could
25:44
Speaker 2: change back back in two thousand and six, the IAU
25:48
Speaker 2: updated the definition of what can be classified as a planet,
25:51
Speaker 2: and Pluto failed to meet one of the requirements, which
25:54
Speaker 2: is it lacks the gravitational forces necessary to clear its
25:57
Speaker 2: orbit of debris, therefore reclassified as a dwarf planet. But
26:01
Speaker 2: now Jared Isisagman, the new head of NASA, has hinted
26:04
Speaker 2: that he supports President Trump using an executive order to
26:07
Speaker 2: officially restore Pluto as the Night's planet. He's not the
26:11
Speaker 2: first person to call for reclassification. Other NASA directors have
26:14
Speaker 2: asked for it as well, and so has a star
26:18
Speaker 2: trek Icon and friend of the show, William Shatner, who
26:22
Speaker 2: once called the IAU just a bunch of corrupt nerds
26:26
Speaker 2: on a power trip. President Trump has not yet weighed
26:28
Speaker 2: in on it, but we have seen him, you know,
26:32
Speaker 2: rename a thing or two, so it's possible. And that'll
26:35
Speaker 2: do it for this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks
26:38
Speaker 2: to our sponsors and patrons. Thanks for listening. Catch you
26:41
