Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Friday morning, eleventh day of October. I'm Wes, thanks for
- 0:12Speaker 2: joining me. We get ready to roll into a holiday weekend,
- 0:19Speaker 2: and we are now coming another end of another crazy
- 0:24Speaker 2: week with hurricanes. Obviously with this second hurricane to hit Florida,
- 0:31Speaker 2: and obviously a lot of damage, a lot of devastation,
- 0:34Speaker 2: a lot of people still without power. They still need
- 0:37Speaker 2: our prayers, they still need they're gonna need assistance help.
- 0:42Speaker 2: I know, folks, I've got friends that are alignment or
- 0:46Speaker 2: that are married to linemen that have been loaning out
- 0:50Speaker 2: those spouses to other places, that have been doing great
- 0:55Speaker 2: work to get people power and get people's lives back
- 0:58Speaker 2: to some form of restoration form of moving forward. I
- 1:03Speaker 2: do want to just take one quick minute because I
- 1:05Speaker 2: think it's important. When there were conversations about how Milton
- 1:10Speaker 2: was the most powerful storm on record and it was
- 1:13Speaker 2: going to be and you know, we start already got
- 1:15Speaker 2: the climate alarmists that are screaming about how bad the
- 1:19Speaker 2: hurricanes are and how much worse they are now than
- 1:22Speaker 2: they've ever been, and the frequency of them, and I
- 1:25Speaker 2: just wanted to share this and I don't want to
- 1:27Speaker 2: politicize this. I'm just trying to explain why stats are important,
- 1:34Speaker 2: why keeping accurate records are important, and why you can't
- 1:38Speaker 2: cherry pick the stats that you want a cherry pick
- 1:41Speaker 2: to make your case. And just to understand when people
- 1:46Speaker 2: start talking about how severe storms are, when they talk about, oh,
- 1:51Speaker 2: the number of you know, the worst storms we've ever had,
- 1:54Speaker 2: and they start naming the storms and they start saying,
- 1:59Speaker 2: you know, a lot of times they're talking about fatalities,
- 2:04Speaker 2: and they're talking about financial damage, the things to rebuild
- 2:10Speaker 2: or replace things. Those are, of course, I mean, the
- 2:15Speaker 2: most important thing. Lives lost are the most important thing.
- 2:19Speaker 2: But that's not a conversation about how climate change has
- 2:24Speaker 2: affected the strength of hurricanes. That's not what that is
- 2:27Speaker 2: at all. Fatalities have increased in storms because there's more people.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Governor DeSantis just did a press conference where this was
- 2:37Speaker 2: brought up, and he addressed that you got more people,
- 2:39Speaker 2: there's more likelihood for lives to be lost a cell
- 2:44Speaker 2: phone today versus the cost of I don't know, one
- 2:48Speaker 2: hundred horses back in eighteen fifty one, when they really
- 2:52Speaker 2: started keeping really accurate records on these things, you know,
- 2:56Speaker 2: a new iPhone costs more than one hundred horses dead
- 2:59Speaker 2: back then, so there's a lot of financial damage that
- 3:04Speaker 2: will come from a storm like this. And again, your
- 3:07Speaker 2: livelihood's been upended, it's been uprooted. This is nothing to
- 3:11Speaker 2: just be dismissive about. But for the folks saying that
- 3:14Speaker 2: Milton was the strongest storm, and they typically they'll measure
- 3:20Speaker 2: this by the pressure of the MSLP for the storms,
- 3:25Speaker 2: and I just want to mention concerning the intensity the
- 3:29Speaker 2: HPA or whatever the storms so at landfall. And this
- 3:35Speaker 2: stat was put together by meteorologists Chris Martz on X.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Chris Martz WX is his handle on the X. If
- 3:47Speaker 2: you just look at hurricanes that made landfall in Florida,
- 3:51Speaker 2: Milton is tied for eighteenth place, and I think it's
- 3:55Speaker 2: actually should be tied for nineteenth place if I'm looking
- 3:57Speaker 2: at this right, because he's actually got two number eights
- 3:59Speaker 2: in here. Didn't adjust for the tie, so it may
- 4:03Speaker 2: be that these are actually tied for nineteenth place. And
- 4:06Speaker 2: actually with a storm. The hurricane name then was Florida
- 4:10Speaker 2: back before the current naming cycles, and that was nineteen
- 4:14Speaker 2: forty nine. And if you look at the strongest you
- 4:18Speaker 2: go back to nineteen thirty five, which was Labor Day.
- 4:23Speaker 2: That was the name of that storm. And I'm just
- 4:26Speaker 2: going to run through a couple of years here on
- 4:27Speaker 2: these top storms. Michael in twenty eighteen is number two
- 4:31Speaker 2: on the list, Andrew in ninety two was third. Florida
- 4:36Speaker 2: Keys nineteen nineteen, Okachobee nineteen twenty eight, Miami nineteen twenty six,
- 4:43Speaker 2: Donna nineteen sixty, Ierma twenty seventeen. Helene jumps in there
- 4:49Speaker 2: at number eight Florida and Ian is also part of
- 4:55Speaker 2: this tie. I guess that should be for ninth place,
- 5:01Speaker 2: nineteen forty six and twenty twenty two. What I'm getting
- 5:03Speaker 2: at here and you get down to number you know, nineteen,
- 5:06Speaker 2: the tie for nineteen with Milton, and many of the
- 5:10Speaker 2: other storms in here go back to the early nineteen hundred.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Some of the eighteen hundreds, the storms aren't getting and
- 5:16Speaker 2: these are just ones to make landfall in Florida. This
- 5:18Speaker 2: isn't even looking at all the others the storms We've
- 5:25Speaker 2: had hurricanes. There's nothing different. We've had hurricanes. The news
- 5:29Speaker 2: breaks because we have more coverage of it. We understand
- 5:32Speaker 2: that more lives are lost, more damaged, property. But you
- 5:36Speaker 2: look at the years and you can't say that this
- 5:39Speaker 2: is specifically caused by gasoline powered engines and that's it,
- 5:43Speaker 2: because there's no explanation for any of these storms in
- 5:47Speaker 2: the eighteen hundreds or early eighteen ninety nine. The Louisiana
- 5:52Speaker 2: is the name of that storm what was then eighteen
- 5:58Speaker 2: eighty two Pensacola. So you know, you can't You just
- 6:04Speaker 2: can't say, oh, you're you're cherry picking. If you're trying
- 6:07Speaker 2: to base your stats off of damage and lives lost, horrible.
- 6:12Speaker 2: I'm not in any way saying that lives don't matter.
- 6:14Speaker 2: That's not what I'm doing. The point is you can't
- 6:18Speaker 2: just jump in and say, well, you know, we're going
- 6:20Speaker 2: to cherry pick what we want to have with these stats,
- 6:23Speaker 2: and we want to decide that what we're concerned about
- 6:28Speaker 2: is the you know, the amount of dollar amounts used
- 6:33Speaker 2: to rebuild or to fix things, and saying, well, that
- 6:35Speaker 2: makes it the strongest storm. And it's not. They're not
- 6:38Speaker 2: becoming stronger based on power. It's just we're more aware
- 6:44Speaker 2: of them. It's a different time. You go back to
- 6:47Speaker 2: the eighteen hundreds of hurricane hits on the other side
- 6:49Speaker 2: of the country. Some people don't even know about it.
- 6:53Speaker 2: So it's just let's all take a minute before we
- 6:57Speaker 2: start trying to turn this into something with for you know,
- 6:59Speaker 2: less than four weeks to the election, because that's what
- 7:01Speaker 2: some people are trying to do and it's not where
- 7:04Speaker 2: we should be. It is Friday, and it's a holiday weekend, Friday,
- 7:09Speaker 2: so we're going to jump into some strange and bizarre
- 7:11Speaker 2: news from around the world. Let's start well, a woman
- 7:14Speaker 2: who was known as Britain's most prolific thief back in
- 7:18Speaker 2: jail again. She's been there before. Forty three year old
- 7:22Speaker 2: Tanya Little or it could be Liddell. I think it's Little,
- 7:26Speaker 2: was arrested for shoplifting again, just weeks after a court
- 7:29Speaker 2: banned her from all stores in her area. Little had
- 7:33Speaker 2: been arrested more than four hundred times, convicted one hundred
- 7:36Speaker 2: and seventy two times. She's well known to local businesses
- 7:39Speaker 2: and police. She continues her brazen shoplifting activities by disguising
- 7:46Speaker 2: herself with big hats and sunglasses. She's even posted how
- 7:49Speaker 2: to steal videos on her TikTok account. In one such video,
- 7:53Speaker 2: she boasts about her thievery lip syncs to Michael Jackson's
- 7:56Speaker 2: smooth Criminal. On September twelve, she received a civil injunction
- 8:01Speaker 2: banning her from all local stores except pharmacies, clothing stores,
- 8:05Speaker 2: and supermarkets. A few weeks later, she was arrested again
- 8:08Speaker 2: for shoplifting, and while appearing before a judge, admitted to
- 8:11Speaker 2: committing other crimes. She's been given a conditional discharge, which
- 8:16Speaker 2: local businesses say is insufficient because it's not going to
- 8:19Speaker 2: stop her from stealing from those stores. It doesn't sound
- 8:20Speaker 2: like it, not if she's posted on social media. She
- 8:24Speaker 2: really does seem quite proud of herself, doesn't she. Water
- 8:28Speaker 2: levels in Ladybird Lake in Austin, Texas recently dropped two feet,
- 8:32Speaker 2: leading local officials to wonder what was causing the mysterious phenomenon.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Turns out, a little problem, several little problems. The Longhorned
- 8:41Speaker 2: Dam experienced to malfunction of the adjustable gate, which allows
- 8:45Speaker 2: precise water level control. As a result, the gate wasn't
- 8:48Speaker 2: allowing proper flow of water. The cause of the malfunction
- 8:53Speaker 2: explained by Austin Water saying that ants intruded ann on
- 9:01Speaker 2: the instrument panel, shorting it out and tripping out the
- 9:03Speaker 2: circuit breaker, which caused the water gate to only open partially.
- 9:06Speaker 2: The problem was fixed and the ant problem was eventually
- 9:10Speaker 2: taken care of. That's wild, isn't an ant's getting in
- 9:12Speaker 2: there clogging things up. A woman who heads up a
- 9:15Speaker 2: British charity that helps people struggling with alcohol addiction might
- 9:19Speaker 2: not be the best person for the job after she
- 9:22Speaker 2: was arrested for drunk driving. Twenty six year old Eliza Loftis,
- 9:26Speaker 2: an executive at the Be Well, Stay Well Foundation, had
- 9:31Speaker 2: just left a pub and crashed her car into a tree.
- 9:34Speaker 2: She then hid in the bushes so the police wouldn't
- 9:36Speaker 2: find her, but her cover was blown by a witness
- 9:39Speaker 2: whop pointed officers to her hiding spot. Loftus eventually emerged
- 9:42Speaker 2: from the shrubs and said, I'm sorry. She's pleaded guilty
- 9:47Speaker 2: to drunk driving and turned to her own charity for
- 9:51Speaker 2: some assistance. It's a good call, I mean, at least
- 9:55Speaker 2: she knew where to go. An elevator maintenance worker at
- 9:58Speaker 2: an art museum in the Nether World ones did his
- 10:00Speaker 2: part in helping to keep the museum clean, or so
- 10:03Speaker 2: we thought. The worker was walking through the Lamb Museum
- 10:08Speaker 2: outside of Amsterdam and noticed a couple of empty beer
- 10:12Speaker 2: cans inside a glass elevator shaft, so he picked them
- 10:14Speaker 2: up tossed him in the trash. What he didn't realize
- 10:17Speaker 2: is the beer cans were actually a thirty six year
- 10:20Speaker 2: old art exhibit called All the Good Times We Spent
- 10:23Speaker 2: Together by Alexandra Lavett. The museum's director said, the theme
- 10:29Speaker 2: of our collection is food consumption. Our art encourages visitors
- 10:33Speaker 2: to see everyday objects in a new light. By displaying
- 10:35Speaker 2: artworks and unexpected places, we amplify this experience and keep
- 10:40Speaker 2: visitors on their toes. The curator knows the exhibit was missing,
- 10:43Speaker 2: launched a search, eventually found it inside a trash bag.
- 10:46Speaker 2: It was about to be sent out for a disposal.
- 10:48Speaker 2: Fortunately the cans were undamaged and now back on display
- 10:52Speaker 2: on a traditional support stand. Yeah. I mean, look, I
- 10:57Speaker 2: get it. I understand in theory what they're trying to do.
- 11:01Speaker 2: But if you take a piece of trash and you
- 11:04Speaker 2: put it next to a trash can and you say
- 11:06Speaker 2: it's art, you can't be surprised that somebody picks up
- 11:09Speaker 2: the trash and tries to throw it away. That used
- 11:12Speaker 2: to be something that we applauded. Hey, thanks for putting
- 11:15Speaker 2: that away. Thanks for disposing of that. A seventy year
- 11:20Speaker 2: old British woman had just recently found out why she
- 11:22Speaker 2: didn't get the job as a motorcycle stunt driver she
- 11:25Speaker 2: applied for nearly fifty years ago. Tizzy Hodson mailed an
- 11:29Speaker 2: application for the job in January of nineteen seventy six
- 11:34Speaker 2: and never received a response. She always just assumed she
- 11:37Speaker 2: didn't get the job, but couldn't understand why she never
- 11:39Speaker 2: heard back. Last week, the application was returned to her
- 11:43Speaker 2: after her local post office found it stuck behind a drawer.
- 11:48Speaker 2: It was a note posted to the return mail explaining
- 11:50Speaker 2: the delay. Hodson wondered, how they found me when I've
- 11:54Speaker 2: moved house fifty odd times and even moved countries four
- 11:59Speaker 2: or five times is a mystery. It means so much
- 12:02Speaker 2: to me to get it back after all this time.
- 12:04Speaker 2: I remember very clearly sitting in my flat in London
- 12:06Speaker 2: typing the letter. Every day. I looked for my post
- 12:10Speaker 2: and there was nothing there, and I was disappointed because
- 12:13Speaker 2: I really really wanted to be a stunt rider on
- 12:16Speaker 2: a motorcycle. Although she didn't land her dream gig, she
- 12:19Speaker 2: did go on to enjoy a pretty adventurous career as
- 12:21Speaker 2: a snake handler, an arabotic aerobatic not aerobatic pilot, and
- 12:28Speaker 2: a flying instructor. That's pretty daredough. Well, that's pretty good,
- 12:31Speaker 2: you know, and maybe it saved her life. Who knows.
- 12:33Speaker 2: Maybe she would have not done well on those motorcycles.
- 12:37Speaker 2: A Florida woman ordered Dominoes and was angry when the
- 12:39Speaker 2: pizza arrived cold and uncut. She called the company and
- 12:42Speaker 2: calmly expressed her disappointment and politely asked for a refund. No,
- 12:46Speaker 2: she didn't. She drove to the establishment and fought with
- 12:48Speaker 2: workers and threw the pizza at an employee. That seems
- 12:52Speaker 2: more like it. Twenty two year old Ricky Holly told
- 12:56Speaker 2: police that Dominoes delivered her late night pizza cold and uncut,
- 13:01Speaker 2: and decided to drive it back to the location to complain.
- 13:04Speaker 2: When she got there, she immediately started yelling at workers
- 13:06Speaker 2: and ultimately threw the pizza at one of them. She's
- 13:09Speaker 2: also accused of damaging the stor's telephone. Police arrived and
- 13:13Speaker 2: arrested Holly for criminal mischief. She spent the night in
- 13:15Speaker 2: jail and was released on her own recognizance. All right,
- 13:18Speaker 2: let me ask you this since the first scenario that
- 13:22Speaker 2: I laid out. If she walks back and you know,
- 13:24Speaker 2: calls in or goes in and says, hey, the pizza
- 13:27Speaker 2: was cold and uncut, and then someone gets a video
- 13:30Speaker 2: of her and says, eh, look at this Karen. Ha ha,
- 13:34Speaker 2: look at this Karen wanting her pizza to be hot
- 13:37Speaker 2: and cut. Haha. She's in here complaining. I mean, if
- 13:42Speaker 2: we're gonna make fun of that, we can't be surprised
- 13:45Speaker 2: when people get mad and come in and start fighting
- 13:47Speaker 2: with employees, right. I mean you might also, but at
- 13:49Speaker 2: least you know, you get little street cred. You're not
- 13:51Speaker 2: called a Kuna's Karen's e You're Karen. Australia's Quantas Airline
- 13:58Speaker 2: has issued an apology after a glitch with an in
- 14:01Speaker 2: flight entertainment system that led to a graphic R rated
- 14:03Speaker 2: movie being played on every screen during the flight from
- 14:08Speaker 2: Sydney to Tokyo. The crew experienced a problem with a system,
- 14:11Speaker 2: but we're unable to play one movie for all the passengers.
- 14:15Speaker 2: So with the system and we're only able to play
- 14:18Speaker 2: one for all the passengers since someone requested the film
- 14:20Speaker 2: Daddy O starring Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn. The crew
- 14:23Speaker 2: decided to play it. Unfortunately, they had no idea contains
- 14:27Speaker 2: frontal nudity, and many passengers were horrified, especially those with children.
- 14:32Speaker 2: When the crew realized it, they quickly shut it off
- 14:35Speaker 2: and switched to family friendly children's alternatives. Did somebody complain
- 14:40Speaker 2: with Aya Karen? Yeah? What is the nudity? I'm a Karen.
- 14:47Speaker 2: I don't understand why that Karen thing is still a thing.
- 14:49Speaker 2: Just a message to tell women to shut up. You
- 14:52Speaker 2: don't need to talk. Shut up, That's what it is.
- 14:55Speaker 2: But you know it's time to stop the Karen things
- 14:58Speaker 2: once it's still going. The British woman's recovering what she
- 15:01Speaker 2: says our injury she sustained in a terrifying cauliflower accident.
- 15:07Speaker 2: Forty two year old Sammy May says she was shopping
- 15:10Speaker 2: in a supermarket when her husband, when I had a cauliflower,
- 15:14Speaker 2: fell off a top shelf and plunked her on the head.
- 15:16Speaker 2: She claims the impact of the fallen vegetable knocked her out.
- 15:19Speaker 2: When she finally came to, she saw the cauliflower next
- 15:21Speaker 2: to her on the floor and a worker picked it
- 15:23Speaker 2: up and placed it back on the shelf. May says
- 15:26Speaker 2: she went to the hospital with severe headache, nausea, dizziness
- 15:28Speaker 2: and was diagnosed with a concussion. She says the supermarket
- 15:32Speaker 2: gave her a thirty dollars gift card, which she described
- 15:34Speaker 2: as insulting. What a Karen May says she's considering getting
- 15:40Speaker 2: a lawyer involved. Yeah, that's the way to go with it.
- 15:43Speaker 2: That's the way to go with it, And that's what
- 15:44Speaker 2: you need to do. Just get a lawyer, get involved.
- 15:49Speaker 2: You got to hit on the head with cauliflower. They
- 15:51Speaker 2: should have done something about it. You know, Flora already
- 15:55Speaker 2: has more than enough issues. But now apparently Satan is
- 15:58Speaker 2: there assaulting women. According according to police report, Robert Landy's
- 16:05Speaker 2: Pania was arrested after police say that he entered a
- 16:09Speaker 2: women's home naked, jumped on her and said he was
- 16:13Speaker 2: Satan and that it would be her last day on earth.
- 16:15Speaker 2: The twenty six year old entered the victim's home. That
- 16:17Speaker 2: sounds terrifying. Twenty six year old entered the victim's home
- 16:21Speaker 2: when she stepped outside to fix her key card, then
- 16:24Speaker 2: grabbed her and told her that he was the devil.
- 16:27Speaker 2: She managed to get away and call the cops, who
- 16:29Speaker 2: arrived on the scene to find Panya screaming and saying
- 16:34Speaker 2: that he didn't do anything and that the victim was
- 16:36Speaker 2: actually his wife and a guardian angel. They're going to
- 16:39Speaker 2: keep him in custody for a little while longer. That's
- 16:41Speaker 2: probably a good call. Today's show brought to you by
- 16:43Speaker 2: Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and
- 16:48Speaker 2: educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career
- 16:54Speaker 2: holders that really of all ages. I mean, they do
- 16:58Speaker 2: it for school age kids as school age kids visit
- 17:01Speaker 2: the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do
- 17:03Speaker 2: it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
- 17:09Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
- 17:14Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
- 17:17Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
- 17:25Speaker 2: also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got
- 17:27Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwobe School
- 17:32Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
- 17:35Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
- 17:40Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
- 17:42Speaker 2: in Columbus Georgia. You think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
- 17:46Speaker 2: I mean this is a major city attraction that happens
- 17:51Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
- 17:55Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of music
- 17:58Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
- 18:03Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
- 18:09Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
- 18:13Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
- 18:15Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean
- 18:23Speaker 2: Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just
- 18:28Speaker 2: remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science
- 18:31Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
- 18:36Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
- 18:39Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
- 18:45Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
- 18:48Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
- 18:52Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
- 18:55Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
- 18:58Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
- 19:01Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 19:04Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 19:07Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 19:10Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 19:12Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 19:16Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
- 19:19Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes
- 19:23Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 19:26Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 19:29Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 19:32Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 19:35Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 19:38Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 19:40Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
- 19:43Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 19:44Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 19:47Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 19:50Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped

- 19:59Speaker 2: as well well. Seven six five eight forty five hundred

- 20:05Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after
- 20:10Speaker 2: the break, Well, if you want to bite into a
- 20:21Speaker 2: hot pepper, researchers say you need to think happy thoughts.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Researchers saying they've discovered that positive thinking can actually make
- 20:29Speaker 2: spicy food taste less intense. When you expect to enjoy
- 20:34Speaker 2: fiery hot sauce, for example, your brain activates pleasure centers,
- 20:38Speaker 2: making the heat more bearable. On the flip side, if
- 20:41Speaker 2: you dread the spice, your brain reacts with pain signals,
- 20:45Speaker 2: making it feel even hotter. So the next time you
- 20:47Speaker 2: have to eat something super spicy, stay positive, think good thoughts.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Maybe this is why people who enjoy spicy food can
- 20:56Speaker 2: eat exceptionally hot food and then and like you know,
- 21:00Speaker 2: think culturally, think Indian or Thai food that has a
- 21:03Speaker 2: lot of extra kick to it. They enjoy it, they're
- 21:06Speaker 2: excited to eat it, therefore doesn't really bother them as much,
- 21:10Speaker 2: and they're you know conditioned to it as well, but
- 21:12Speaker 2: are probably conditioned to it, want to eat it, So
- 21:16Speaker 2: I think that fits into this mode. Do you have
- 21:20Speaker 2: kitchen envy? If you do, then you're not alone. A
- 21:22Speaker 2: new survey found ninety percent of respondent said their kitchen
- 21:25Speaker 2: needs to be better looking than any other room in
- 21:27Speaker 2: their home, and fifty percent said they get kitchen envy
- 21:30Speaker 2: when they see a kitchen that's nicer than theirs. Sixty
- 21:33Speaker 2: one percent of those with kitchen envy say they get
- 21:36Speaker 2: jealous when they see a better kitchen. Forty four percent
- 21:40Speaker 2: said they see green when someone's kitchen has high end appliances,
- 21:44Speaker 2: especially refrigerators. So just a small update, our kitchen project
- 21:53Speaker 2: repair project isn't done yet. We're almost at a month,
- 21:55Speaker 2: so just fyi. I've been telling you i'd fill you
- 21:58Speaker 2: in as we go. It's still not done yet. It's
- 22:01Speaker 2: been almost a whole year. End of the month, it'll
- 22:03Speaker 2: be a whole year since the initial damage happened with
- 22:08Speaker 2: a leak under our dishwasher. But we're getting close. We're
- 22:12Speaker 2: able to function in there, We're able to kind of
- 22:14Speaker 2: have our kitchen. But speaking of refrigerators, do you snoop
- 22:18Speaker 2: in other people's refrigerators? The same survey found thirty six
- 22:21Speaker 2: percent have snooped through someone else's refrigerator to see what
- 22:25Speaker 2: groceries they buy or how things are organized. Gen Z
- 22:28Speaker 2: more likely to do this than other generations, with fifty
- 22:31Speaker 2: seven percent admitting that they have snooped through a friend
- 22:34Speaker 2: or family member's refrigerator. If you have ever bought a
- 22:40Speaker 2: new home and made getting rid of the old seventies
- 22:43Speaker 2: era decorps your first order of business, guess what it's
- 22:47Speaker 2: all back in style or that's what they say. Wood

- 23:36Speaker 2: difference between a cell by date and an expiration date?
- 23:40Speaker 2: A lot of people don't. They confuse the two. So
- 23:43Speaker 2: to make it a little bit easier for everybody in California,
- 23:45Speaker 2: the state is getting rid of one of them. Governor
- 23:49Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom recently signed legislation that bans cell by dates.
- 23:54Speaker 2: The reason behind it is that many consumers mistakenly believe
- 23:57Speaker 2: cell by dates are when the food expires, an end
- 24:00Speaker 2: up throwing away foods while they're still good. The new
- 24:03Speaker 2: law aims to combat food waste by printing only expiration
- 24:09Speaker 2: dates on foods to avoid the confusion. You know, let's
- 24:13Speaker 2: get the government as involved in all this as we
- 24:15Speaker 2: possibly can maybe get rid of you know, like when
- 24:18Speaker 2: milk they say it's good ten days after the expiration date,
- 24:21Speaker 2: why don't we put the ten day point? Are people
- 24:23Speaker 2: ditching milk before it's really bad? I'd like to know.
- 24:26Speaker 2: Let's get involved. Let's get more involved, Governor Newsom. There
- 24:32Speaker 2: are many topics that most people find taboo to discuss

- 24:48Speaker 2: finances with the people they're closest to. That's compared to
