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 sixth day of July. I'm Wes. Thanks
0:12
Speaker 2: for joining me. Getting ready to roll on end of
0:15
Speaker 2: the weekend. I do want to no Normally Fridays we
0:21
Speaker 2: kind of dive right into the strange and bizarre news.
0:25
Speaker 2: We've got several stories this week, by the way, that
0:28
Speaker 2: involve animals. I always like the ones that involve animals.
0:30
Speaker 2: Those usually pretty good. I mean, I don't like the
0:33
Speaker 2: ones that are harmful to animals, but you know, the
0:36
Speaker 2: ones that involve animals doing funny things. We've got a
0:39
Speaker 2: few of those together for you this week. But before
0:42
Speaker 2: we do that, there's a few things I feel it's
0:45
Speaker 2: important that we talk about. And I just this is
0:49
Speaker 2: a week where it was a little different. Obviously, I
0:52
Speaker 2: was down on the Space Coast for a couple of
0:54
Speaker 2: days this week, so that kept me from doing a
0:56
Speaker 2: couple of shows. So I do think there are a
0:58
Speaker 2: few topics that we should talk about. And I know
1:01
Speaker 2: I talked to some about this yesterday, and by the way,
1:06
Speaker 2: made a stars podcast about our adventures on the Space
1:09
Speaker 2: Coast is available now wherever you're listening to this podcast.
1:12
Speaker 2: You can listen to the Mate of Stars podcast. It's
1:15
Speaker 2: our Artemis two Live from the Kennedy Space Center, Part
1:22
Speaker 2: one podcast. Next week we'll do part two. Got some
1:24
Speaker 2: more interviews for you for next week, but for now,
1:27
Speaker 2: we got the part one episode up, which pretty good.
1:31
Speaker 2: I mean interviews with a retired astronaut and a Shuttle
1:37
Speaker 2: astronaut slash, a SpaceX astronaut so you know, or an
1:40
Speaker 2: astronaut should say that took a SpaceX ride to the
1:43
Speaker 2: International Space Station. And then the mission manager for Artemis
1:48
Speaker 2: two and one of the people responsible for them to
1:52
Speaker 2: put the rockets together. So that's three pretty good interviews
1:56
Speaker 2: for week one or for yeah, this week and then
1:59
Speaker 2: next week we have some more interviews for you for
2:02
Speaker 2: interviews actually for next week. So you know, that was
2:07
Speaker 2: our week the beginning of the week. So, like I said,
2:10
Speaker 2: we had a little maintenance to take care of because
2:12
Speaker 2: we didn't get a lot of shows and it was
2:14
Speaker 2: hard to do shows from down there while we were
2:18
Speaker 2: trying to stay up on current events and things. So
2:22
Speaker 2: let's talk about a couple of things before we jump
2:24
Speaker 2: into the strange and bizarre news. And the first thing
2:28
Speaker 2: that I want to talk about is this And I
2:32
Speaker 2: understand politics is one of those things that there are
2:39
Speaker 2: there's a lot of hyperbole. I think we and it's
2:43
Speaker 2: always been the case, it does feel like we're a
2:45
Speaker 2: little bit more hyperbolic as a society now when it
2:52
Speaker 2: comes to politics, and in part because of Donald Trump.
3:00
Speaker 2: Hear me out on this. He is, He's a guy
3:03
Speaker 2: who's going to He likes to say things. It's the
3:08
Speaker 2: way that he speaks, period. It's the way he's always spoken.
3:11
Speaker 2: If you go back to his even you watch the
3:14
Speaker 2: video clips of when he was younger and he talked
3:15
Speaker 2: about possibly, you know, oh maybe one day I'll run
3:18
Speaker 2: for president and all these sorts of things. There's a
3:23
Speaker 2: lot of these exaggerations that just kind of come out
3:26
Speaker 2: of his mouth. He likes to blame things on other
3:30
Speaker 2: people as far as rather than just say, boy, I
3:34
Speaker 2: did this, he likes to blame it on other people
3:37
Speaker 2: and say, yeah, people say how great what I did was?
3:41
Speaker 2: You know? That kind of thing I think has elevated
3:45
Speaker 2: the game when it comes to these sort of exaggerations. Now,
3:47
Speaker 2: it's Trump. That's who he is. That's what he does.
3:52
Speaker 2: When the hyperbole rolls over into blatant lies. That's when
3:57
Speaker 2: we got a problem because if Apaul Aetician is comfortable
4:01
Speaker 2: just lying to your face, that's where it becomes something else.
4:08
Speaker 2: And I'll say this, and I've done this on shows before,
4:12
Speaker 2: I've talked about this, but one of the things that
4:16
Speaker 2: the left has gotten good at, at least under the
4:22
Speaker 2: Obama presidency, under the Biden presidency, is saying things that
4:29
Speaker 2: are kinda true to cover up for the fact that
4:34
Speaker 2: they're not being completely forthcoming with you. One of those
4:38
Speaker 2: things was about Obamacare. We were told nothing's going to
4:43
Speaker 2: change with your healthcare, nothing's going to change. We were
4:48
Speaker 2: told during this inflationary period that under this White House,
4:54
Speaker 2: we're not making the prices go up. These are the
4:57
Speaker 2: greedy companies that are making the prices go up. That's
5:00
Speaker 2: not our fault. We're not making the price of gas
5:03
Speaker 2: go up. Yeah you are. You're making the price of
5:06
Speaker 2: gas go up, which is making the price of everything
5:08
Speaker 2: else go up. But technically it's the companies and stores
5:14
Speaker 2: and businesses that are raising the prices. But they're put
5:16
Speaker 2: in a position where that's what they have to do
5:18
Speaker 2: just to make a profit. Period. So that's the kind
5:21
Speaker 2: of games that they play, they try to do this
5:23
Speaker 2: sort of exaggeration with that. Now we're in this period
5:28
Speaker 2: where now that it looks like Kamala Harris is going
5:30
Speaker 2: to be the candidate, she's playing the let's say all
5:35
Speaker 2: these terrible things about Trump and what he's going to
5:37
Speaker 2: do that just have already been fact checked and disproven.
5:43
Speaker 2: Project twenty twenty five is not part of the Trump agenda.
5:47
Speaker 2: You've heard me say it here, You've heard a number
5:49
Speaker 2: of people, you've heard Trump himself say it. This is
5:53
Speaker 2: not part of the agenda. Somewhat at the Heritage Foundation
5:57
Speaker 2: came up with this, they put it together. Republicans right
6:02
Speaker 2: now running for offices have not embraced this. They haven't
6:05
Speaker 2: said that they're going to implement it, none of this.
6:08
Speaker 2: This is not something that they are working towards. It's
6:13
Speaker 2: much more radical and much more extreme. But the strategy
6:17
Speaker 2: for Democrats right now is to just try to throw
6:20
Speaker 2: that around and make sure that everyone knows that this
6:25
Speaker 2: is what Trump wants to do. Look it up, look
6:27
Speaker 2: it up yourself, and it's dishonest, it's disingenuous, it's lying,
6:32
Speaker 2: this is not accurate, and it's been fact checked, it's
6:36
Speaker 2: been disproven. Yet it is the strategy that the left
6:41
Speaker 2: is going with now. The other strategy is to deny
6:44
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris's role in anything to do with the current administration. Specifically,
6:50
Speaker 2: they're denying that she was appointed the Borders Are which
6:53
Speaker 2: is exactly the terminology that was used to say that
6:57
Speaker 2: she was going to be the person responsible for the
6:59
Speaker 2: board and determining root causes for illegal immigration in our country,
7:04
Speaker 2: which ultimately, as you recall, they blamed on climate change,
7:08
Speaker 2: because you can blame everything on climate change, and that
7:10
Speaker 2: just seems to satisfy people and they move on, well,
7:13
Speaker 2: clearly this is because of a climate change. We'll talk
7:17
Speaker 2: more on all of the Kamala cover ups and lies
7:21
Speaker 2: and distortions about her record. We'll get into more of
7:25
Speaker 2: that in the coming days and weeks, because that is
7:29
Speaker 2: certainly going to be part of the issue and part
7:32
Speaker 2: of the problem that we're dealing with as we get
7:34
Speaker 2: closer and closer to election day. But I just wanted
7:37
Speaker 2: to touch on those things. When they lie to you
7:41
Speaker 2: to your face, when it's common knowledge that they're lying
7:44
Speaker 2: about it, you have to be very worried about what
7:47
Speaker 2: they're capable of, and keep in mind Kamala Harris as
7:50
Speaker 2: a presidential candidate in twenty twenty during the primary session,
7:57
Speaker 2: when she didn't get any votes at all, none, No
8:00
Speaker 2: one voted for her, and she dropped out right away.
8:04
Speaker 2: She was labeled then the most progressive, most potentially socialists,
8:09
Speaker 2: the most far left candidate running. And now she is
8:13
Speaker 2: going to just slip right on end without one single
8:16
Speaker 2: American casting a vote in a primary for her. These
8:19
Speaker 2: delegates are just going to apparently be handed to her
8:23
Speaker 2: without any sort of democratic process. Yet Democrats continue to
8:28
Speaker 2: say Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. Oh the hypocrisy.
8:33
Speaker 2: All right, let's jump into some strange and bizarre news
8:37
Speaker 2: because it is Friday, and in spite of all of
8:40
Speaker 2: the Kamala talk that we had had to do a
8:43
Speaker 2: little bit of it. I do want to get into
8:45
Speaker 2: some of these stories because I've got some good animal stories.
8:48
Speaker 2: First up, a story in Greece. A flock of sheep
8:51
Speaker 2: were witnessed acting strangely as the owners of a cannabis
8:57
Speaker 2: farm made the decision about wine. Now you can already
9:00
Speaker 2: see where this is going. Of course, the sheep ate
9:03
Speaker 2: their cannabis. Wildfires, heat waves and flooding had destroyed most
9:08
Speaker 2: of the grass where the flock usually grazed, and that
9:11
Speaker 2: forced them to find a new food source. Eventually they
9:14
Speaker 2: found a greenhouse where medicinal cannabis was being grown, and
9:18
Speaker 2: they decided, this seems this is green, we can eat this.
9:22
Speaker 2: The starving animals ate more than two hundred pounds of weed.
9:25
Speaker 2: The owners of the farm said the sheep probably would
9:28
Speaker 2: have eaten even more, but much of the crop had
9:31
Speaker 2: also been destroyed by the harsh weather conditions. The shepherd
9:35
Speaker 2: caring for the sheep said that he noticed they were
9:37
Speaker 2: acting strangely and were jumping higher than the goats, which
9:41
Speaker 2: never happened. I wonder if that's literal or is he
9:44
Speaker 2: just doing a little play on words there, a little
9:46
Speaker 2: hyperbole if you will. Alama was on the loose in Bangor,
9:53
Speaker 2: Maine after it broke out of his pen made a
9:56
Speaker 2: run for it an attempt to escape a dentist appointment.
10:00
Speaker 2: Arena Pezner, who owns the Rebels Homestead farm, says her
10:05
Speaker 2: Lama Jeffrey, was due to have a dental cleaning. She
10:11
Speaker 2: opened up the gate to his enclosure to let the
10:13
Speaker 2: veterinarian in, and that's when Jeffrey busted out. He clearly
10:17
Speaker 2: didn't want anyone brushing his teeth, and he took off,
10:20
Speaker 2: running through a neighborhood and remained on the loose for
10:23
Speaker 2: a while. It was believed that the vet had left.
10:26
Speaker 2: That's when he came home on his own. Local police
10:29
Speaker 2: department set in a Facebook post, it is possible that
10:32
Speaker 2: Jeffrey hasn't kept up on brushing and flossing twice a
10:35
Speaker 2: day and was embarrassed that the whole barn would soon
10:39
Speaker 2: know about it. Nice ending to the story, I guess
10:42
Speaker 2: that he finally got his teeth taken care of and clean.
10:46
Speaker 2: Let's go to Pennsylvania where a curly haired pig named
10:50
Speaker 2: Dorothy turned a highway into a barnyard when she escaped
10:55
Speaker 2: from her trailer to avoid going to the vet. See
10:58
Speaker 2: a theme here with these animals doted going to the
11:01
Speaker 2: vet or eating medicinal marijuana. I guess the Hungarian Amanngelica pig,
11:07
Speaker 2: known for her long curly hair, lives in the Eastern
11:10
Speaker 2: Snout's Pig Adoption Center and was being driven along with
11:14
Speaker 2: another pig to the vet for a checkup. While on
11:18
Speaker 2: the entrance ramp to I seventy six, Dorothy managed to
11:21
Speaker 2: slip out of the trailer and made it run for
11:24
Speaker 2: it on the busy highway. Luckily, state troopers and some
11:27
Speaker 2: good Samaritans jumped into action and helped and got Dorothy
11:31
Speaker 2: back in the trailer. Other than a little road rash,
11:36
Speaker 2: doing just fine. I suppose a little scratched up from
11:38
Speaker 2: jumping out there on the ramp. Researchers in South America
11:44
Speaker 2: say thirteen sharks caught off the coast of Brazil have
11:47
Speaker 2: tested positive for cocaine, raising concerns that the ocean is
11:52
Speaker 2: contaminated with drugs, likely the result of drug smugglers or
11:57
Speaker 2: drug labs. Scientists collected thirteen sharp nosed sharks that were
12:03
Speaker 2: caught by fishermen off Rio de Janeiro, and during a necropsy,
12:09
Speaker 2: that's one of those words. I hate it. I've told
12:11
Speaker 2: you before. Those necropsy examinations found organs and muscle tissue
12:15
Speaker 2: laced with a high concentration of cocaine. Researchers say they
12:20
Speaker 2: don't know what the effect the cocaine may have had
12:23
Speaker 2: on the shark's behavior. I don't think we need any
12:26
Speaker 2: sort of I mean, it's like cocaine bear, but it's
12:30
Speaker 2: like cocaine shark that could not that could be a
12:33
Speaker 2: big problem. Right, you get them all. It's a little
12:37
Speaker 2: different than the than the medicinal marijuana. Right. You get
12:43
Speaker 2: sheep that are on medicinal marijuana. You get sharks that
12:48
Speaker 2: are on cocaine. That's not good. That sounds like it
12:54
Speaker 2: could be really terrifying. One more animal story and then
12:57
Speaker 2: we'll go on to some others. But a black bear
12:59
Speaker 2: appearing to be sad and depressed on the side of
13:03
Speaker 2: the road in Florida has been getting a lot of attention.
13:05
Speaker 2: The large bear had been sitting by a telephone pole
13:08
Speaker 2: and sulking along Highway ninety eight in Santa Rosa Beach.
13:12
Speaker 2: Passers by have slowed down to get a look at
13:15
Speaker 2: the sad bear, and some of them grab their phone
13:16
Speaker 2: snap of selfie with him. It's gotten to the point
13:20
Speaker 2: where people have felt comfortable and getting too close to
13:23
Speaker 2: him that police had to step in and remind people
13:25
Speaker 2: that it's a bear. Even if it's sad, it's a bear,
13:31
Speaker 2: a dangerous wild animal that should not be approached. Experts
13:35
Speaker 2: say the bear appears to be experiencing some stress, but
13:37
Speaker 2: does not appear to be injured. They've suggested that he
13:40
Speaker 2: was perhaps overheated and was just getting some rest. Fish
13:44
Speaker 2: and wildlife officials say that this is a busy time
13:47
Speaker 2: of year for bears in Florida when juveniles starts separating
13:50
Speaker 2: from their mothers to find their own habitat. So don't
13:54
Speaker 2: go near the bears. Don't do it if you take
13:57
Speaker 2: a photo from a distance of safety stants, far far away.
14:01
Speaker 2: That's what the zoom feature is for, all right. A
14:05
Speaker 2: gas station clerk in Tennessee in some trouble. You could
14:09
Speaker 2: say that he allegedly stole a winning lottery ticket from
14:14
Speaker 2: a customer that he sold the ticket to. It was
14:18
Speaker 2: worth a million dollars. That makes it a pretty big crime,
14:21
Speaker 2: doesn't it, police said Murphy's Borough. As I say, a
14:24
Speaker 2: twenty three year old customer walked into a store purchased
14:26
Speaker 2: two twenty dollars scratch off tickets. To save time. He
14:29
Speaker 2: simply scratched off the bar code and handed the tickets
14:32
Speaker 2: back to the clerk identified as Mere Patel to check
14:36
Speaker 2: if they were winners, which they were. One was worth
14:39
Speaker 2: forty dollars and paid out the prize to the customer,
14:43
Speaker 2: but he told him the other one was a loser
14:44
Speaker 2: and threw it in the trash. Once the customer left
14:46
Speaker 2: the store, Patel took the other ticket out of the
14:48
Speaker 2: trash and fully realized the amount of the prize, which
14:52
Speaker 2: was a million dollars. Patel brought the ticket to the
14:55
Speaker 2: state Lottery office to claim the prize, but he didn't realize.
14:59
Speaker 2: There's some things in place to prevent things like this,
15:04
Speaker 2: so they have a vetting process and they did a
15:07
Speaker 2: little research on the guy. Learned that he works at
15:09
Speaker 2: the store that sold the ticket. That's when the flags
15:12
Speaker 2: start going up. They reviewed the in store surveillance video
15:16
Speaker 2: saw the entire theft play out. The video showed him
15:20
Speaker 2: pulling the ticket out of the trash and celebrating once
15:24
Speaker 2: he realized how much the prize was. Investigators were able
15:28
Speaker 2: to identify and track down the rightful winner of the
15:31
Speaker 2: jackpot and informed him, Hey, you're a millionaire, Patel. I
15:36
Speaker 2: guess They also were able to track down charged him
15:38
Speaker 2: with theft, and of course he's got a whole series
15:42
Speaker 2: of problems ahead for him. Today's show brought to you
15:46
Speaker 2: by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring
15:50
Speaker 2: and educating the youth in future STEM leaders and STEM
15:56
Speaker 2: career holders that really of all ages. I mean they
16:00
Speaker 2: do it for school age kids as school age kids
16:03
Speaker 2: visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also
16:06
Speaker 2: do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
16:12
Speaker 2: and the careers in space and stem fields are booming
16:16
Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
16:20
Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
16:27
Speaker 2: also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got
16:30
Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School
16:34
Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
16:38
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
16:42
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
16:44
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
16:48
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
16:53
Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
16:57
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
17:01
Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows
17:05
Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
17:08
Speaker 2: Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
17:11
Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
17:15
Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
17:18
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night
17:20
Speaker 2: events Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As
17:25
Speaker 2: Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I
17:30
Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
17:33
Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
17:38
Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
17:41
Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
17:47
Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
17:50
Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
17:54
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
17:58
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you. Whther're there, you
18:01
Speaker 2: can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
18:03
Speaker 2: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
18:06
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
18:10
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
18:12
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
18:15
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
18:18
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
18:22
Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
18:26
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
18:29
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
18:31
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
18:34
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
18:38
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
18:40
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
18:43
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
18:45
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
18:47
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
18:50
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
18:53
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
18:55
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
18:58
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
19:01
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,
19:04
Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O

Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after
19:12
Speaker 2: the break, What do you feel older than your age?
19:24
Speaker 2: Says you are. A new study says that on average,
19:28
Speaker 2: Americans feel twelve years older than their actual age if
19:31
Speaker 2: they're over the age of forty five, and it's got
19:34
Speaker 2: to do with your joints, joint pain and other types
19:37
Speaker 2: of pain. Fifty five percent of those who say they
19:39
Speaker 2: feel older say it's because of that. Forty five percent
19:43
Speaker 2: said joint pain limiting how they live their lives. Knee
19:45
Speaker 2: pain in particular impacting forty percent of Americans, though suffering
19:50
Speaker 2: from knee pain, have had to make significant lifestyle changes
19:54
Speaker 2: because of it, including where they live, work, how they travel.
19:58
Speaker 2: Eighty five percent of Americans exp experienced some sort of
20:00
Speaker 2: joint pain, though half of those don't realize there's a
20:03
Speaker 2: link between increased muscle strength and reduced joint pain. Less
20:07
Speaker 2: than forty seven percent. Less than half feel optimistic about
20:12
Speaker 2: finding lasting relief from their joint pain. So yikes, AI
20:19
Speaker 2: sexist well a study of and also really into some
20:24
Speaker 2: stereotypes apparently. A new study of chat GPT's image creator
20:28
Speaker 2: found the app overwhelmingly depicts men as CEOs and successful
20:34
Speaker 2: successful business people, and it shows women to be secretaries
20:40
Speaker 2: when the images come up when asked with prompts like
20:44
Speaker 2: someone who works in finance or as a successful investor
20:49
Speaker 2: or the CEO of a successful company. Researchers noted that
20:53
Speaker 2: ninety nine of the one hundred image returned were white men.
20:56
Speaker 2: So there you go. I mean, get on that makers
21:02
Speaker 2: of chat, GPT or whatever they're pulling that information from
21:07
Speaker 2: to have those sorts of things. So different social media
21:10
Speaker 2: platforms attract different types of users for different reasons. Instagram users, though,
21:17
Speaker 2: aren't there for news or politics. Tell some of my
21:20
Speaker 2: friends that, according to Pew Research, just thirty three percent
21:24
Speaker 2: of them say that they go to the platform to
21:27
Speaker 2: keep up with current events. In a related poll, only
21:30
Speaker 2: twenty six percent use it to stay up to day
21:33
Speaker 2: on political issues. Compare that with x formerly Twitter, where
21:37
Speaker 2: sixty five percent say they use it for news fifty
21:39
Speaker 2: nine percent for politics. Even TikTok has higher numbers, with
21:44
Speaker 2: forty one percent of news and thirty six percent using
21:47
Speaker 2: it for politics. So if you're looking to just interact
21:50
Speaker 2: with friends, influencers, celebrities, Instagram apparently is the place to
21:56
Speaker 2: be and not having to deal with some of that
21:59
Speaker 2: other nonsensical stuff on some of those other platforms. A
22:04
Speaker 2: study found drinking coffee can be beneficial for those who
22:08
Speaker 2: sit all day. Hey, this is one of those good studies, right.
22:12
Speaker 2: The results of the study showed that coffee drinkers who
22:15
Speaker 2: sit for hours at a time have a lower risk
22:17
Speaker 2: of more mortality than those who sit for six or
22:21
Speaker 2: more hours a day but don't drink coffee. Those coffee
22:25
Speaker 2: drinkers who don't move much had a twenty four percent
22:29
Speaker 2: reduced risk of dying of any causes compared to those
22:32
Speaker 2: who were stationary and didn't drink coffee. And the more coffee,
22:38
Speaker 2: the better. Apparently, the study found that those who drink
22:41
Speaker 2: the most coffee, more than two cups per day, showed
22:43
Speaker 2: a thirty three percent reduced risk of mortality and fifty
22:47
Speaker 2: four percent reduced risk of cardiovascular disease compared with the
22:51
Speaker 2: non coffee drinkers. This is interesting because this goes against
22:57
Speaker 2: all the things that we've been told about, Right, you
23:00
Speaker 2: can't drink too much. You know, you can't sit while
23:05
Speaker 2: you're having it. It'll get all you have effects on
23:08
Speaker 2: your blood pressure and your heart rate, all those things
23:11
Speaker 2: that we sort of had been told for a long time.
23:15
Speaker 2: And now this is basically saying, hey, look, if you
23:17
Speaker 2: have to be somebody who sits a lot, drinking coffee
23:19
Speaker 2: can be good for you. So how's your hypergaming? Apparently
23:24
Speaker 2: this is a new trend in the dating world. It's
23:27
Speaker 2: a term for the pretty old dating concept. This is
23:31
Speaker 2: just a new name for it. It's when you're romantically
23:34
Speaker 2: attracted to someone of a higher social status. Forty percent
23:39
Speaker 2: of people surveyed think dating up will help improve their life.
23:45
Speaker 2: Supermarkets trying to speed up check checkout lines, and they
23:50
Speaker 2: do the you know, express lines. They've got self checkout
23:53
Speaker 2: machines in some cases. In some cases there's too many
23:56
Speaker 2: of those. In some cases, the stores have the checkout
23:58
Speaker 2: machines and they don't have any anybody to supervise them,
24:01
Speaker 2: so they shut those down, which is very frustrating. But
24:05
Speaker 2: not everyone in such a rush, and there are people
24:07
Speaker 2: who would actually like to slow things down at the
24:10
Speaker 2: checkout and not feel pressured by employees or other customers
24:14
Speaker 2: to pick up the pace. With these people in mind,
24:17
Speaker 2: there's a supermarket chain in Japan that has implemented extra
24:22
Speaker 2: slow checkout lines and they've become very popular among the elderly,
24:27
Speaker 2: the disabled, and pregnant women. And it's worked out well
24:31
Speaker 2: for the store too, seeing a ten percent increase in
24:34
Speaker 2: sales because more shoppers are coming to enjoy a less
24:39
Speaker 2: frantic shopping experience. I think we all need to slow
24:43
Speaker 2: down just a little bit anyway, I mean, I don't
24:46
Speaker 2: know about it at the store necessarily, although I will
24:50
Speaker 2: admit I was once upon a time I was a
24:53
Speaker 2: never self checkouter, and I learned to embrace it, especially
24:58
Speaker 2: during COVID. I just thought, well, you know what, if
25:00
Speaker 2: we're doing this, I can handle my own stuff, other
25:03
Speaker 2: people don't have to touch it, and a little bit
25:07
Speaker 2: of that social interaction that I don't have to deal
25:09
Speaker 2: with necessarily, and I don't mind it, but sometimes you
25:12
Speaker 2: don't feel like doing it, and it helped kind of
25:16
Speaker 2: open me up to the idea of doing the self checkout.
25:18
Speaker 2: But when they're busy and there's people staring at you,
25:21
Speaker 2: like hurry up, hurry up, let's go, let's go, and
25:25
Speaker 2: you do kind of feel that just a little bit.
25:28
Speaker 2: But anyway, are you a procrastinator who always waits to
25:32
Speaker 2: the last minute to complete a task or do you
25:35
Speaker 2: like to get it done right away known as a precrastinator.
25:40
Speaker 2: Whichever extreme you're in, experts warn there or downsides to both.
25:45
Speaker 2: Procrastinators put a lot of unnecessary stress on themselves to
25:48
Speaker 2: finish something right before a deadline. Procrastinators but the same
25:52
Speaker 2: amount of unnecessary stress on themselves to get it done
25:54
Speaker 2: as quickly as possible because they're afraid they won't get
25:59
Speaker 2: it done in time. So you probably will be surprised.
26:06
Speaker 2: People that know me might be surprised to know that
26:08
Speaker 2: I'm in some areas. One in some areas, the other
26:14
Speaker 2: often at work and work situations. I'm a procrastinator. I
26:17
Speaker 2: would you know, Hey, here's an assignment. Let me get
26:19
Speaker 2: it done as soon as possible, so I don't forget it,
26:22
Speaker 2: and I get it done right, and I put stress
26:24
Speaker 2: on myself for that, so I believe that.
26:26
Speaker 1: All right.
26:27
Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Friday edition of the show.
