- 0:35Speaker 3: gaming is your thing or music, TV, movies, fantasy, actual science.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Got the dragon Con pregame Show on the dragon Con
- 0:47Speaker 3: Pregame Show podcast, where you can hear it right now

- 0:59Speaker 3: dragon Con and Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center,
- 1:03Speaker 3: Meta Stars podcast. Normally it's a Thursday show that Doctor
- 1:07Speaker 3: Sean Cruise and I do together. We talk about space news.
- 1:11Speaker 3: In the last thirty days, we've had two astronauts on
- 1:14Speaker 3: the show, Katie Coleman, the most recent after we talked
- 1:18Speaker 3: with Doug Hurley about a month ago while we were
- 1:21Speaker 3: down in Florida the Kennedy Space Center for the Artemis
- 1:26Speaker 3: two course stage arrival and Katie Coleman joined us for
- 1:31Speaker 3: a special Tuesday episode of Maya Stars that came out yesterday.

- 1:53Speaker 3: the right questions. But Katie Coleman, great time talking with her.
- 1:56Speaker 3: Look forward to seeing her maybe as soon as tomorrow
- 2:00Speaker 3: when I arrived at Dragon Con. So there we go,
- 2:04Speaker 3: all of it powered by Columbus State University's co Cola
- 2:07Speaker 3: Space Science Center.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Got it all covered, all right.
- 2:10Speaker 3: So it's kind of weird that we're at this stage
- 2:13Speaker 3: now where we're just you know, really it's almost September, right,
- 2:18Speaker 3: so we'll just say September and then October and then
- 2:23Speaker 3: you know we're right there to election day. That's how
- 2:26Speaker 3: close we are. We're just you know, we're getting down
- 2:29Speaker 3: to cases. As they say, some people say that you
- 2:32Speaker 3: may not say it. But some people I've heard it,
- 2:34Speaker 3: I've said it getting down to cases, down to the wire.
- 2:39Speaker 2: That's where we are.
- 2:40Speaker 3: It's down to the end, the end game, if you will.
- 2:44Speaker 3: And I said yesterday this is we'reth the phase now
- 2:46Speaker 3: where you know, I guess really as a Friday last week,
- 2:50Speaker 3: this is where the election really begins. This is where
- 2:54Speaker 3: campaigning really gets started. And I gave the the Trump
- 3:02Speaker 3: team credit for the Friday RFK Junior endorsement, and then
- 3:10Speaker 3: Monday we had the Tulsi Gabbard endorsement. So two former Democrats,
- 3:17Speaker 3: you know, one from this family that has all turned
- 3:22Speaker 3: on him now they can't stand him because he's supporting Trump.
- 3:25Speaker 3: He's supporting the party that did not go out of
- 3:29Speaker 3: its way to keep him off ballots and to and
- 3:33Speaker 3: it's interesting, isn't it. It's this notion of trying to
- 3:36Speaker 3: keep people from being able to vote for their options,
- 3:39Speaker 3: like just trying to take away the choice and then
- 3:42Speaker 3: screaming that Republicans are the ones that are anti democracy.
- 3:49Speaker 3: And then Cheryl Hines, who was married to RFK Junior,
- 3:53Speaker 3: getting threats from former cast mates and people going after
- 3:56Speaker 3: her for not standing up for Kamala Harris you know,
- 4:02Speaker 3: how dare you support your husband? There's vows, there's wedding vowels.
- 4:07Speaker 3: I realize you don't have to agree with each other politically.
- 4:10Speaker 3: There's lots of families that don't agree, the husband and wife,
- 4:14Speaker 3: parents and kids. There's all kinds of dynamics that go.
- 4:16Speaker 3: You got you know, you got the keatings, and then
- 4:19Speaker 3: you got Alex. He doesn't agree with them. They don't
- 4:21Speaker 3: agree with him, but you know, they're a family. It's okay.
- 4:25Speaker 3: She can support her husband. She doesn't, and I don't
- 4:28Speaker 3: know that she. I think she's kind of like taking
- 4:31Speaker 3: a knee. She's defaulted on saying who she supports. I
- 4:34Speaker 3: think she's basically said, I'm not necessarily supporting Trump. I'm
- 4:38Speaker 3: supporting my husband. That's what I'm doing. And good for her,
- 4:40Speaker 3: that's what she should do. And the people that are
- 4:42Speaker 3: going after her for it's ridiculous. That's a good indication
- 4:46Speaker 3: of where we are as a country, isn't it. You
- 4:49Speaker 3: got people that like former co workers, feel like, yay,
- 4:53Speaker 3: you should be with us, not your husband. You should
- 4:57Speaker 3: support what we tell you to support. You shouldn't be,
- 5:00Speaker 3: you know, supporting your husband and things you need to
- 5:03Speaker 3: go with us. I don't know if they were. Maybe
- 5:05Speaker 3: they were critical of her when it looked like maybe
- 5:10Speaker 3: or FK. Junior was going to take votes away from
- 5:12Speaker 3: Biden and ultimately hand Trump the White House.
- 5:14Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 5:15Speaker 3: I don't know where they were on that anyway. So
- 5:18Speaker 3: those were I think great moves, perfectly timed and orchestrated,
- 5:21Speaker 3: and now here we go. Return of the Jedi or
- 5:26Speaker 3: the Empire strikes back is probably the better analogy, but
- 5:29Speaker 3: maybe more revenge if you're going to invoke Jedi. But
- 5:35Speaker 3: I tend to think of the current party in power
- 5:38Speaker 3: more as the Empire. That's what's always interesting to me
- 5:42Speaker 3: is when people start talking about parallels of movies and
- 5:45Speaker 3: TV shows with politics, and they can kind of see
- 5:49Speaker 3: certain things, maybe through their colored glasses.
- 5:52Speaker 2: But it's weird.
- 5:54Speaker 3: To me that anybody could take you know, they've we've
- 5:58Speaker 3: had a few TV shows and things where people have said, well,
- 6:01Speaker 3: clearly this is an attack on Trump and exposing Trump
- 6:05Speaker 3: for this. But I mean, if I'm looking at, you know,
- 6:08Speaker 3: the evil Empire from Star Wars, I kind of think
- 6:11Speaker 3: of them as more in par with the people who
- 6:14Speaker 3: you know, don't want you to have options, they don't
- 6:16Speaker 3: want you to have choices in the election, and they've
- 6:20Speaker 3: taken as many of them away as possible.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Right.
- 6:24Speaker 3: I kind of thought when all of those charges came
- 6:27Speaker 3: up against Trump, and I've voiced this many times, I thought,
- 6:30Speaker 3: when the charges came up and they said, we're going
- 6:32Speaker 3: to indict him on all these things, and they was
- 6:34Speaker 3: like boom boom, boom boom four times real quick, and
- 6:37Speaker 3: I thought, this is clearly what's going on here. They
- 6:39Speaker 3: want to if they feel like they can get him out,
- 6:42Speaker 3: get him off ballots, then they'll force Republicans to ultimately
- 6:48Speaker 3: select somebody else. Right, they're going to have they'll be
- 6:51Speaker 3: forced to pick a different candidate, maybe even at the convention.
- 6:56Speaker 3: And who that candidate would be, you know, would it
- 6:59Speaker 3: be Nicky Haley, would it be Ron DeSantis? I think
- 7:02Speaker 3: they expected it to be DeSantis. I don't think they
- 7:05Speaker 3: wanted it to be And I think that they were
- 7:07Speaker 3: very afraid of him because you know, he has been
- 7:11Speaker 3: very successful in Florida and they didn't want him. They
- 7:13Speaker 3: probably would have wanted Haley instead, but I think they
- 7:16Speaker 3: kind of expected it to be de Santis.
- 7:17Speaker 2: But either way, they didn't necessarily want you know, Republican.
- 7:21Speaker 3: Voters to be able to decide who the Republican candidate
- 7:24Speaker 3: would be. And I think once that would have happened,
- 7:27Speaker 3: that would have allowed them to be in a position
- 7:30Speaker 3: to better say, well, now we can ask Biden to
- 7:33Speaker 3: step down and by doing so, we can you know,
- 7:37Speaker 3: set up another candidate for us. And I really do
- 7:41Speaker 3: think that it was going to be Gavin Newsom. I
- 7:44Speaker 3: said all this, you know, months ago. That's where I
- 7:47Speaker 3: thought that was their objective, and they failed. They failed
- 7:50Speaker 3: on every level on that. Obviously, we know these We
- 7:54Speaker 3: had one conviction which is going to be overturned and appeal.
- 7:59Speaker 3: That one's the one in New York and you know,
- 8:02Speaker 3: it relates to the hush money trial, and that one
- 8:05Speaker 3: really was the one that sort of ultimately backfired on
- 8:08Speaker 3: him because in spite of the fact that they can say, oh,
- 8:11Speaker 3: he's a convicted fella, and you don't hear a lot
- 8:12Speaker 3: about that right now. I think that's probably coming when
- 8:16Speaker 3: we get to the debates and all that stuff, if
- 8:19Speaker 3: we have them. If we have them, but the others
- 8:26Speaker 3: you know, fell apart, one of them dismissed.
- 8:30Speaker 2: But it's back. Oh yeah, it's back.
- 8:32Speaker 3: Because of the you know, the rulings of overturning the
- 8:37Speaker 3: election interference case. Special Counsel Jack Smith has said.
- 8:43Speaker 2: You can't just dismiss me. I'm not going anywhere.
- 8:45Speaker 3: I'm gonna find a way to rewrite this indictment so
- 8:48Speaker 3: that we can slip it past the Supreme Court. And
- 8:51Speaker 3: now he also filed, by the way in the Eleventh
- 8:55Speaker 3: Circuit Court of Appeals just days ago, he asked them
- 9:01Speaker 3: to reverse that federal judge dismissal in the classified documents case.
- 9:07Speaker 3: He's also part of that one.
- 9:09Speaker 2: But here we go.
- 9:10Speaker 3: We had a forty five page indictment that has now
- 9:15Speaker 3: been rewritten by Smith, and this time he has taken
- 9:20Speaker 3: out any of the references to the Department of Justice,
- 9:28Speaker 3: because according to the Supreme Court, a president would have
- 9:31Speaker 3: immunity if he was being charged with something or she
- 9:36Speaker 3: was being charged with something as it pertained to them
- 9:41Speaker 3: doing their job, them actually working.
- 9:43Speaker 2: So for them to be.
- 9:47Speaker 3: Charged with doing something and like it would be a conflict.
- 9:51Speaker 3: They're doing their job, they should they should be able
- 9:54Speaker 3: to do the job and not worry about repercussions. They
- 9:59Speaker 3: should also be allowed to be a candidate for president
- 10:02Speaker 3: and not have to worry about repercussions. But anyway, so basically,
- 10:07Speaker 3: according to a Justice Department spokesperson from yesterday, the superseding indictment,
- 10:18Speaker 3: which was presented to a new grand jury that had
- 10:20Speaker 3: not previously heard evidence in the case, reflects the government's
- 10:23Speaker 3: efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court's holdings and
- 10:27Speaker 3: remand instructions. Okay, so basically taking out any references to
- 10:36Speaker 3: the Department of Justice, where they basically said, you know,
- 10:41Speaker 3: Trump referenced the Department of Justice in his when he
- 10:45Speaker 3: was talking about the sham investigations, and he said they
- 10:50Speaker 3: were using the Department of Justice conduct sham investigations. So
- 10:55Speaker 3: they took a lot of that stuff out, anything that
- 10:57Speaker 3: could fall under Department of Justice, and it's a removed
- 11:02Speaker 3: all references to it. And that was a big part
- 11:06Speaker 3: of what was supposed to be in the charges. And
- 11:10Speaker 3: now that the Supreme Court said, well, if he's talking
- 11:12Speaker 3: about the Department of Justice, that sounds like he's working
- 11:15Speaker 3: as the commander in chief. He's working as the President
- 11:20Speaker 3: of the United States. So they said, well, we'll just
- 11:22Speaker 3: take all that out. It's interesting, isn't it that you
- 11:25Speaker 3: can write up this document and then you can just
- 11:27Speaker 3: thin it down, take out some specific references to things,
- 11:31Speaker 3: and then say, well, we're just going to follow it again. Now,
- 11:34Speaker 3: obviously we're at a point where this is all just
- 11:38Speaker 3: for the sake of throwing mud. I mean, at this
- 11:40Speaker 3: point they're not going to be able to do anything
- 11:42Speaker 3: with this before the election. None of this stuff is
- 11:45Speaker 3: going to produce anything. They can't get him off ballots,
- 11:48Speaker 3: they're not going to be able to stop anything. So
- 11:50Speaker 3: basically this is just to give some more fodder to
- 11:53Speaker 3: boy he's a criminal, he's terrible, and the Trump campaign
- 11:57Speaker 3: is just going to have to say, here we go again.
- 12:00Speaker 3: May actually work to their advantage. I don't know it
- 12:02Speaker 3: very well, could work to their advantage and backfire again.
- 12:07Speaker 3: And that's what's interesting about all of this is that
- 12:09Speaker 3: we have these situations where they just don't seem to
- 12:13Speaker 3: be able to not end up hurting themselves and they
- 12:18Speaker 3: do these things and end up shooting themselves in the foot.
- 12:21Speaker 3: So anyway, I do want to talk about this. I
- 12:26Speaker 3: thought this was an interesting story, and it's it's changing
- 12:31Speaker 3: topics quite a bit here. But about the sale of Paramount,
- 12:40Speaker 3: this thing that's happening, there's a merger that is happening
- 12:44Speaker 3: and Paramount is you know, it was for sale and
- 12:50Speaker 3: George Klooney had some comments about this and its sky
- 12:56Speaker 3: dance is who it seems to be. Is I guess
- 13:00Speaker 3: merging with them? I guess there's they're investing eight billion
- 13:04Speaker 3: dollars into this being a merger, merger, and let me see,
- 13:12Speaker 3: I wanted to make sure I've got the I want
- 13:14Speaker 3: to I want to get Clooney's words on this because
- 13:16Speaker 3: I thought they were interesting. And here we go and
- 13:20Speaker 3: he talks about, uh, he basically says Hollywood is being
- 13:24Speaker 3: eaten up by the big Walmarts and Amazons around the world.
- 13:28Speaker 3: When he was talking about the merger with with Paramount
- 13:32Speaker 3: and it being sold and this is back, you know,
- 13:36Speaker 3: as this was all in the stages of happening, and
- 13:39Speaker 3: he referenced basically he sort of called Paramount like a
- 13:43Speaker 3: mom and pop, you know, like it's a small business.
- 13:47Speaker 3: But here this is this is where this gets kind
- 13:49Speaker 3: of interesting. And I can appreciate what he was saying.
- 13:51Speaker 3: A lot of people critical of what he said, but
- 13:54Speaker 3: he basically said, uh, Paramount's one of the great original studios.
- 13:59Speaker 1: Uh.
- 14:00Speaker 3: But some of you just have no say in some
- 14:04Speaker 3: of it. You just have no say in because the
- 14:05Speaker 3: business it's all getting eaten up. It's like everything, it's
- 14:09Speaker 3: all getting eaten up by the big Walmarts and Amazons
- 14:11Speaker 3: around the world. Our version of mom and pop shops
- 14:14Speaker 3: small town is paramount. And people were like, well, you know, paramount.
- 14:19Speaker 3: They made a lot of money. They made a lot
- 14:21Speaker 3: of money. How can you compare them to a paramount?
- 14:26Speaker 3: So this is from Variety. They said, sky Dance and
- 14:29Speaker 3: its partners will invest more than eight billion, and sky
- 14:33Speaker 3: Dance said the deal has an enterprise value of twenty
- 14:36Speaker 3: eight billion. Sky Dance itself valued at four point seventy
- 14:39Speaker 3: five billion. So basically now as what he's referencing, and
- 14:47Speaker 3: he said, this is more of the quote. He says,
- 14:48Speaker 3: they haven't developed stars the way the studio system used to,
- 14:51Speaker 3: and this is referencing all of the other options that
- 14:54Speaker 3: there are now for getting stuff Apple and Netflix and
- 14:57Speaker 3: all of the other studios. He says, we kind of
- 15:02Speaker 3: were at the very end of that where you could
- 15:04Speaker 3: work at a studio and do three or four films
- 15:07Speaker 3: and there was some plan to it. And I don't
- 15:09Speaker 3: think that's necessarily the case anymore. So it's harder for
- 15:12Speaker 3: you to sell somebody something on the back of a star,
- 15:16Speaker 3: he says, but it's a great time as a young
- 15:18Speaker 3: actor because when I was a young actor, if you
- 15:21Speaker 3: looked at the back of the La Times every Monday morning,
- 15:24Speaker 3: they had the sixty four shows that were made, and
- 15:27Speaker 3: of those sixty four shows, if you're actually on one
- 15:29Speaker 3: of them, you're trying to be in the top twenty
- 15:31Speaker 3: to keep your show on the air.
- 15:33Speaker 2: But that was it.
- 15:34Speaker 3: Then the studios were doing five films a year. Now
- 15:37Speaker 3: there are six hundred shows, so there's a lot more
- 15:40Speaker 3: work for actors. And he says it's a great time,
- 15:43Speaker 3: you know, for young actors because there's more opportunities there.
- 15:46Speaker 3: So just digesting a little bit of what he said,
- 15:49Speaker 3: so comparing Paramount to mom and pop shops, and what
- 15:53Speaker 3: he's saying is and I can't attest to this specifically
- 15:57Speaker 3: for Paramount, but I would imagine that this is accurate.
- 16:00Speaker 3: You do sort of see Paramount with deals that do
- 16:03Speaker 3: seem to run these You see an actor doing a
- 16:05Speaker 3: movie on Paramount and with a Paramount production, and then
- 16:10Speaker 3: it does seem to sort of rattle off. They do
- 16:12Speaker 3: a series of movies. You got people that have been
- 16:14Speaker 3: working with Paramount for years, big name actors it still
- 16:17Speaker 3: continue to work with Paramount, and it doesn't mean that
- 16:21Speaker 3: they can't do other projects in other places. But I
- 16:23Speaker 3: think what Clooney is saying here is also true of
- 16:27Speaker 3: a lot of things. We're seeing this happen in the
- 16:30Speaker 3: music industry. You know, the days of Hey, we're going
- 16:33Speaker 3: to sign you to this record deal and you're gonna
- 16:36Speaker 3: do four albums for us, and you know, and we're
- 16:39Speaker 3: going to work you and this is going to be
- 16:40Speaker 3: how we work you. A lot of that has drastically changed,
- 16:44Speaker 3: and it's a byproduct of the change first of all
- 16:47Speaker 3: with digital media, but it's also a big byproduct of
- 16:50Speaker 3: what's happened with radio. And I can attest to this
- 16:54Speaker 3: because this is where things have changed and the number
- 16:58Speaker 3: of people making decisions on what gets played on the
- 17:01Speaker 3: radio is dwindled, and you have large companies. I'm not
- 17:07Speaker 3: going to pick on any companies that I have worked
- 17:09Speaker 3: for in the past. There's a couple of big name
- 17:12Speaker 3: ones that I've worked for in the past, and I
- 17:14Speaker 3: can just tell you that it is it's exactly what
- 17:20Speaker 3: Colooney's talking about. It's they are the Walmarts and amazons
- 17:24Speaker 3: of the world. They have destroyed a lot of the
- 17:27Speaker 3: local components of radio. Hate to break it to you,
- 17:31Speaker 3: but most of what you listen to that's considered live
- 17:35Speaker 3: in local radios not live. Most of it is not local,
- 17:39Speaker 3: especially when it's one of these large companies, and even
- 17:42Speaker 3: some of the companies that say, hey, we're your local state,
- 17:46Speaker 3: like they got people recording and leaving for the day,
- 17:49Speaker 3: or you know, they record everything and they go home,
- 17:51Speaker 3: or they record and they go record in another studio
- 17:53Speaker 3: for another station. Just the way business is done right now,
- 17:57Speaker 3: and the smaller places are having to do with the
- 17:59Speaker 3: bigger places are doing. If you're listening to I would
- 18:03Speaker 3: say thirty five forty percent of the stations. I'll say
- 18:08Speaker 3: here in Columbus where I record, you're probably hearing something
- 18:12Speaker 3: that's pre recorded. There's not a whole lot of people
- 18:14Speaker 3: still working live on the air.
- 18:16Speaker 2: There's just not. There wasn't when I.
- 18:19Speaker 3: Was still doing a morning radio show, I was one
- 18:25Speaker 3: of the last ones still doing it live. And sometimes
- 18:27Speaker 3: even that we would have to record it because we're
- 18:29Speaker 3: being asked to be in two places at once sometimes
- 18:31Speaker 3: and you had to do what you had to do.
- 18:33Speaker 3: Just the reality of it. I was still doing it
- 18:36Speaker 3: live into twenty twenty, covering the election, covering COVID, all
- 18:41Speaker 3: that live. But no chances are and when you call
- 18:45Speaker 3: and you say I'm going to call and request something,
- 18:48Speaker 3: there's a reason that no one answers. There's no one
- 18:50Speaker 3: in there. If someone's answering the phone and it's not
- 18:52Speaker 3: the person that you hear on the air, then what
- 18:54Speaker 3: you're hearing on the air is probably prerecorded and it
- 18:57Speaker 3: relates exactly to what Cloney's talking about. This is that
- 19:00Speaker 3: effect of you know, the mom and pops, the local
- 19:05Speaker 3: aspect of it going away, and it's a sad reality.
- 19:09Speaker 3: How many times do you go into one of the
- 19:11Speaker 3: big box stores. I'm not going to put specifically pick
- 19:13Speaker 3: on one that I've already mentioned about four times, but
- 19:15Speaker 3: how many times do you go in there and the
- 19:17Speaker 3: people working in there, you know, Hey, where do I
- 19:20Speaker 3: find so and so? It's over there somewhere. That's if
- 19:23Speaker 3: you can even get an answer. I actually was in
- 19:26Speaker 3: a store the other day and the person that I
- 19:28Speaker 3: was I needed to help me get something out of
- 19:30Speaker 3: a case because it was locked, was on a personal
- 19:32Speaker 3: phone call, hiding around the corner, peeking at me while
- 19:35Speaker 3: making a personal phone call.
- 19:39Speaker 2: I don't hate it.
- 19:41Speaker 3: You know, maybe there's something really important going on there
- 19:44Speaker 3: at home, but no place for that in the workplace,
- 19:47Speaker 3: and just an acknowledgment.
- 19:49Speaker 2: I'll be right with you.
- 19:50Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Even that would have been nice. I move on.
- 19:53Speaker 3: I'm not going to make a big deal about it.
- 19:55Speaker 3: I'm mentioning it here because it relates to this. It's
- 19:58Speaker 3: the reason that person all aspect of all of it
- 20:01Speaker 3: goes away. So people that are criticizing Clooney for saying this,
- 20:04Speaker 3: and I don't defend Clooney on a lot of things
- 20:06Speaker 3: that he says publicly, but yes, I think Paramount probably
- 20:10Speaker 3: is the very last of those sort of mom and
- 20:12Speaker 3: pop studios, and we're not ever going to really see
- 20:16Speaker 3: that again.
- 20:16Speaker 2: I don't think.
- 20:17Speaker 3: I mean, maybe some of these little small studios, but
- 20:20Speaker 3: it's not going to be the same because there's still
- 20:22Speaker 3: going to be really small studios. And are they going
- 20:24Speaker 3: to be able to develop four picture deals the way
- 20:28Speaker 3: that Paramount was still able to do. I don't know.
- 20:31Speaker 2: Probably not.
- 20:32Speaker 3: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca
- 20:35Speaker 3: Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and
- 20:41Speaker 3: future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of
- 20:46Speaker 3: all ages. I mean they do it for school age
- 20:49Speaker 3: kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space
- 20:52Speaker 3: Science Center, but they also do it through their university
- 20:55Speaker 3: programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the
- 21:00Speaker 3: careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now.
- 21:04Speaker 3: And you can learn more about maybe getting your degree
- 21:08Speaker 3: on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also
- 21:15Speaker 3: check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this
- 21:17Speaker 3: incredible collaboration that they do with the schwob School of
- 21:22Speaker 3: Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
- 21:25Speaker 3: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
- 21:30Speaker 3: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
- 21:32Speaker 3: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
- 21:36Speaker 3: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
- 21:41Speaker 3: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
- 21:45Speaker 3: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
- 21:48Speaker 3: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows
- 21:53Speaker 3: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up,
- 21:56Speaker 3: where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
- 21:59Speaker 3: the Cola Space. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
- 22:03Speaker 3: city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you
- 22:05Speaker 3: can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also
- 22:09Speaker 3: on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin
- 22:13Speaker 3: says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind
- 22:18Speaker 3: you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center
- 22:22Speaker 3: CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
- 22:26Speaker 3: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
- 22:29Speaker 3: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
- 22:35Speaker 3: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
- 22:39Speaker 3: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
- 22:43Speaker 3: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
- 22:46Speaker 3: squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you
- 22:48Speaker 3: can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
- 22:51Speaker 3: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 22:54Speaker 3: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 22:57Speaker 3: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 22:59Speaker 3: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 23:02Speaker 3: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 23:06Speaker 3: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
- 23:09Speaker 3: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 23:13Speaker 3: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 23:16Speaker 3: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 23:19Speaker 3: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 23:22Speaker 3: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 23:25Speaker 3: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 23:28Speaker 3: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 23:30Speaker 3: you just want a little man cavid, you'd like to
- 23:32Speaker 3: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 23:34Speaker 3: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 23:37Speaker 3: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 23:40Speaker 3: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 23:43Speaker 3: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
- 23:46Speaker 3: you need somebody to come help, And they do.
- 23:48Speaker 2: Those as well.
- 23:50Speaker 3: Seven oh six thory five eight forty five hundred seven
- 23:52Speaker 3: oh six three five eight forty five hundred O dccolumbus
- 23:57Speaker 3: dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after the
- 24:00Speaker 3: that's great. So apparently Tom Cruise has a body odor problem,
- 24:13Speaker 3: least according to insiders. Apparently this has been something I've
- 24:17Speaker 3: never heard this before. I've heard it about a few
- 24:20Speaker 3: people I heard it about, like Michael Stipe from Rim
- 24:23Speaker 3: back in the day that people would say, oh, man,
- 24:25Speaker 3: he's a nice guy, but boy he stinks. And apparently
- 24:28Speaker 3: Tom Cruise has a bo problem and it's something that
- 24:33Speaker 3: people have, you know, noticed, but everyone seems to be
- 24:37Speaker 3: afraid to tell him because.
- 24:39Speaker 2: He's Tom Cruise.
- 24:41Speaker 3: And this has come up again because he was just
- 24:45Speaker 3: of course at the Olympics for the closing ceremonies and
- 24:48Speaker 3: the Olympians have all been commenting about, Yeah, I met him,
- 24:52Speaker 3: he's stunk. He needed you know, deodorant or something. A
- 24:58Speaker 3: source claiming that Tom seems to be in denial. He's
- 25:01Speaker 3: always been a sweaty guy, but lately it seems to
- 25:05Speaker 3: have gotten worse. And that's the challenge, isn't it. It's
- 25:08Speaker 3: like the Elvis thing, you know. Apparently Elvis surrounded himself
- 25:11Speaker 3: with people who would just agree with him. Didn't want
- 25:14Speaker 3: anybody to argue with him. They just wanted him to
- 25:17Speaker 3: serve as that echo chamber for him and tell him
- 25:19Speaker 3: that everything he's doing.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Is great.
- 25:24Speaker 3: So, you know, you never get any sort of constructive criticism,
- 25:28Speaker 3: and that's how you walk around stinking apparently. I don't
- 25:32Speaker 3: know you ever been on a plane and looked up
- 25:36Speaker 3: at the eliminated no smoking sign and wondered why it's
- 25:39Speaker 3: even there when smoking hasn't been allowed on planes in
- 25:42Speaker 3: more than thirty years. It's a fair question, But the
- 25:46Speaker 3: sign is always lit up anyway, even though the pilot
- 25:51Speaker 3: actually has the power to turn it off. It's because
- 25:54Speaker 3: of an old FAA rule that has remained on the books.
- 25:57Speaker 3: It states that all passenger planes must be equipped with
- 26:00Speaker 3: a switch that allows the pilot to turn that sign
- 26:03Speaker 3: on and off, even though there's never a reason to
- 26:08Speaker 3: do it. Nobody even thought about the rule until earlier
- 26:11Speaker 3: this year, when United Airlines was forced to ground a
- 26:14Speaker 3: new fleet of planes after it was discovered that they
- 26:17Speaker 3: were not equipped with the switch. As a result, the
- 26:21Speaker 3: FAA has finally decided to toss out the rules. From
- 26:24Speaker 3: now on, airlines will not be required to have that switch.
- 26:30Speaker 3: How about that?
- 26:32Speaker 2: All right?
- 26:33Speaker 3: You get finished off the last pickle from the pickle jar.
- 26:37Speaker 3: Maybe you're making a nice plate of spaghetti and meatballs,
- 26:40Speaker 3: and you're, you know, putting pickles on top like I do.
- 26:43Speaker 3: You can say it's gross, but until you try it,
- 26:45Speaker 3: you can't convince me that you know that it's gross.
- 26:48Speaker 3: You got to at least give it a shot before
- 26:50Speaker 3: you can just say, hey, that's gross, um, because it's
- 26:56Speaker 3: really tasty. It really is. Now only if you like
- 26:59Speaker 3: like a meatball and you put pickles on it, that's
- 27:02Speaker 3: when it works. If you don't like that, then you're
- 27:04Speaker 3: not gonna want to try it. So maybe you've just
- 27:07Speaker 3: done that and you've finished up the pickles. But is
- 27:13Speaker 3: the pickle jar really empty? Well, of course not, as
- 27:17Speaker 3: many pickle experts are saying you shouldn't just pour the
- 27:20Speaker 3: pickle juice down the drain. April McGregor, chef and fermentor
- 27:24Speaker 3: at a restaurant in Philadelphia, says there's so many great
- 27:27Speaker 3: uses for the leftover pickle brine and makes these suggestions
- 27:32Speaker 3: for it. She says, use it to make more pickles.
- 27:35Speaker 3: She says that she reuses the brine two or three times,
- 27:37Speaker 3: but sometimes add a little more salt, vinegar, and spices.
- 27:41Speaker 3: She says you should use it to make salad dressing.
- 27:43Speaker 3: Just whisk it in like you would lemon juice or vinegar.
- 27:48Speaker 3: Makes sense. I like pickle juice on my salad anyway.
- 27:51Speaker 3: Add it to soups or stews, tacos, scrambled eggs, and anything
- 27:54Speaker 3: else you want to give a little boost to flavor too.
- 27:57Speaker 3: Use it to brian meat. There you go, like chicken, right,
- 28:00Speaker 3: Chick fil a style. They'd like to brind it in
- 28:02Speaker 3: the pickle juice, so brianett before you cook it, and
- 28:06Speaker 3: then add it to a cocktail like a bloody mary
- 28:08Speaker 3: or a dirty Martini.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 28:10Speaker 3: I don't make a lot of bloody Mary's and dirty Martinis.
- 28:13Speaker 3: But the other stuff, you know, I can see where
- 28:15Speaker 3: all of that would come in is or you make
- 28:16Speaker 3: the pickle popsicles. Kids seem to like those for some reason.
- 28:20Speaker 3: I never really understood that one, but you know it's there. Okay,
- 28:25Speaker 3: so you've heard, you know, babies do the little babbling
- 28:29Speaker 3: and people think it's cute when they babble and go
- 28:31Speaker 3: on and on. It turns out baby talk isn't just cute.
- 28:36Speaker 3: A new study from the University of Texas at Dallas
- 28:39Speaker 3: reveals that those adorable sounds babies make are actually their
- 28:43Speaker 3: way of practicing for real speech. Researchers found that even
- 28:46Speaker 3: the tiniest kids are busy clustering their sounds into patterns
- 28:52Speaker 3: like little vocal exercises. So the next time you hear
- 28:55Speaker 3: a baby babbling or chattering, remember they're not just making noises.
- 28:59Speaker 3: They're gearing up for the next phase of communication. They're
- 29:03Speaker 3: practicing ultimately so that they can eventually talk to you.
- 29:07Speaker 3: So see, it's more than just you know, do all
- 29:10Speaker 3: that stuff. They're really working on it. That'll do it
- 29:12Speaker 3: for this Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks to our
- 29:14Speaker 3: sponsors and patrons.
- 29:15Speaker 2: Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
