  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, sixth day of March. I'm Wes, thanks for
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: joining me. Oh there's those moments where there's information that
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: you know and you just can't talk about it, can't
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: say anything about it. You just kind of have to
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: sit there with it and not discuss it. And then uh,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: and then finally you're able to talk about it. This
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: feels good when like it's a burden. Sometimes. One thing
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: about this job is sometimes you know things that your
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: your little head if they have you know, those moments
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: sometimes with news where they say you have to you
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: have to sit on this for a while. And I'm
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: not saying that specifically what this is going on about today,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: but uh, they do this embargo thing sometimes, Like I
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: will get information sometimes about I don't even know how
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: much I'm allowed to say in that regard. I'll get
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: information sometimes concerning I'll say space things, space news and things,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: and then I'll get told there's an embargo on this
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: information until you know tomorrow or whatever date, which is
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: usually not overly tricky or complicated because I do a
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: space podcast called Meta Stars. Wherever you're listening to this podcast,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: you can find meta stars. And usually because we do
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: that every Thursday, you know, usually for somebody to say
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: on a Friday, hey, this is embargoed till Monday, it's
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: not that difficult for me to just sit on it.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: It's a major breaking news story. Of course, we would
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: release it at whatever time on Monday if we need
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: to do that. But sometimes there's just things that you
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: know in general, and you're just you have to wait
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: before you can talk about it. And then it feels
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: good when it's just out because then you think, I
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: don't slip up and say something. You don't want to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: accidentally slip up and say anything. So anyway, so that
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: feels good. I just had to get that off my chest,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: all right, all right, so let's get into some stuff today.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: So Christy Noam no longer the UH. She's been moved
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: to a different role in this administration. She won't be
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: heading up Department of Homeland Security. Instead, she will be
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. Senator
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Mark Wayne Mullen from Oklahoma expected to succeed NOME as
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: DHS has to go through the approval process that'll start
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: at the end of the month. If everything goes according
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: to plan, this comes as basically we have you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the threats of government shut down and things, basically saying
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: we get some kind of a change in how things
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: are being run in Department of Homeland Security and ICE
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and things. We need an oversight, we need a complete oversight.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: We need a change. And hey, this is a change,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: that's what this is. So basically, apparently Mark Waye Mullin
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: was informed that he would be the person asked to
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: do this DHS thing. I guess just before the official announcement,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: and you know that's where things are exactly what this
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: new role will be. And Christinome did go to social
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: media and thank the President. This was on X thank
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: you Potus Trump for appointing me a special envoy the
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: shield of the America's Secretary Rubio. And this is at
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: SEC War, which of course is Pete Heseth are incredible
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: leaders and I look forward to working with him closely
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to dismantled cartels that have poured drugs in our nation,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: killed our children and grandchildren. This is the post that
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: she put online. So that has taken place. Now that
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: will be as much as you had Folks on the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: left pushing for this to happen. You'll have people on
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the left saying, look, Trump's already firing people. He's already
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: blowing out people. Keep in mind, in the first administration,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: there was a stretch where there were people that he
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: had brought into the inner circle that he dismissed from
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the inner circle, and there were several at the very beginning.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: He attributed that to the fact that he was kind
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: of new in office. He trusted people around him when
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: it came to decisions that were made, and he realized
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: some of those decisions and advice that he was given
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: to make those decisions weren't good and he made changes.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: That's what he's attributed to, which would make sense because
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: he in every way came in as an outsider and
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: had to deal with some of those things right from
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the beginning. I have not in any way held back
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: from the fact that I do believe all the swamp talk,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: all of the people behind the scenes that do not
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: want to give up control. And I know that there's
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: people on both sides that do that. I know that
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: for a fact, So it doesn't surprise me that he
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: got in and got given some bad advice concerning appointments
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: and people around him, and then he had to make
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: some changes. This time he came in with a different approach,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: and that's kind of how he's been doing things. This
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: is what the left is asked for. He's accommodated something
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: that they wanted him to do, which was to make
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: some change concerning the way immigration isn't for immigration deportations
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: specifically or enforced. And you know, there's been some critics
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: on the right, Senator John Kennedy in Louisiana basically saying
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: that the two hundred million dollar ad campaign that Gnome
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: oversaw and appeared in for DHS was effective in name
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: recognition for her. So that's what's going down. That's where
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: things go. She will get moved over to another position.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: That is kind of the way Trump has done things
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: when it's someone that he does still respect or still
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: wants around, but understands that the current role is not
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: going to be something that they can effectively move forward with.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: So there's that, And now with that, we'll jump over
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: into some of our positive news before we get into
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: are strange and bizarre news from around the world. Because
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: it is Friday, Friday the sixth, that means we're a
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: week away from Friday the thirteenth, Go ahead and call
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: out from work or whatever you got to do for
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: next week. It's our second one, because it's the way
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: it works. When you got it in February. If it's
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: not a leap year, you get it again in March.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: It's just the way things roll. And we will start
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: with this world wind romance story out of Columbia, Missouri
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: or Missoura. Dave Barry had a great joke once the
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: second time I quoted day Berry. This week the Missouri compromise,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: where it was decided half of the country would say
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Missouri and the other half would say Massoura. Ninety two
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: year old Dave Witchman eighty two year old Jackie Witchman
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: recently were married in a ceremony that took place in
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: a senior living community where they first met. Just weeks ago.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Dave and Jackie lost their previous spouses, and they found
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: a surprise connection an over Bible study in community events
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and decided to tie the knot as quickly as possible.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: With the help of the staff at Westbury Senior Living,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Dave and Jackie enjoyed a wedding ceremony in the dining
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: room that featured an arch of pink and gold balloons,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: with family and friends looking on for us to find
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: each other. I think neither of us really expected it
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: to find that either, but we did, and when we
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: saw it, we grabbed it. Dave said, we both had
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: grief and we both worked through it. We were blessed
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: to find each other. Newly weeds began the plans to
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: move into a bigger apartment together this month and are
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: excited to start their new life together. And I suppose
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: at ninety two and eighty two, you know what's the
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: expression when you're you find that you have been on
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: the person you want to spend the rest of your
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: life with. You ready for the rest of your life
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: to begin. Now, I guess that's what they were doing.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: They rushed into it. They said, let's get this done.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: In the nineteen eighties, Garrett Vanden Belt of Houston, Texas
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: began donating blood. By the way, if you're able to
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: give blood and it's something that your body will allow
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: you to do, and it's something that your mind will
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: allow you to do, you should try to do it. It's
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: very rewarding, it's very satisfying to do it and a
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: lot of good comes from it. And I understand as
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: always there's a shortage of blood. It feels like we're
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: always in a drought. We're always in a blood shortage.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: There's never enough blood, and there's an emergency, so it's there.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: And if you're able to give platelets and plasma, those
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: are also things that are needed. So this particular gentleman,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Garrett vanden Belt, started giving blood back in the eighties
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: and he was rewarded with free Rock and Roll T shirts.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: He enjoyed collecting the shirts, but also enjoyed the feeling
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: of helping others. Garrett is now sixty nine years old
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: and recently achieved an amazing milestone. He just donated his
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: one hundred gallon of blood. I hope it wasn't all
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: in one sitting. That would not have been a good donation.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: It's helped thousands of people in need over the years. Garrett,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: who now donates life saving platelets once a month, said,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: once you're poked, it's the easiest thing in the world.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: He's gone as far as to compare the experience to
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: simply relaxing and watching TV at home. I'm proud of it,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Garrett said, but I don't consider it a great accomplishment
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: because it's easy to do. You should donate blood because
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: people need it. Amen, well done. That's a big commitment
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: for that period of time's in platelets is a long
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I'm a universal platelet donor. It's a longer process to
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: do it. So he can say, oh, you're just sitting
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: there and watching TV, and you all are, but you're
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: committed to being in that chair and not being able
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: to go to the bathroom once it starts, and sometimes
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: you get you know, the fluids get pumped in you
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: and you just want to go to the bathroom. But
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: it's worthwhile. And one of the great things about like
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: and I know the Red Cross from that's where I've
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: done my donations primarily, is that they will send you, like,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: your platelets helped a kid with cancer in Georgia in
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: a blank city. They don't tell you the kid's name, obviously,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: and that feels good. So just offering that up there.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get to some strange and bizarre news
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: from around the world. We go into the Middle East.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: That's where a lot of the news has been lately.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: So let's just let's just dive into this a camel
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: beauty contest with an ugly cheating scandal, again taining the
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: popular event that celebrates glossy coats, long necks, full lips,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: firm humps these camels. Latest scandal put a stain on
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: this year's festival in Oman, where twenty camels were disqualified
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: for using botox, lip fillers, silicone implants, artificially inflated humps.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Cheating has been a big problem over the years at
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: these contests, which offer big prize money for the best
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: looking camels. Judges say breeders use botox to relax facial muscles,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: lip fillers to plump the mouth, silicone implants to reshape noses,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: growth hormones to boost the size of the humps. A
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: similar scandal occurred five years ago in Saudi Arabia, where
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: forty three camels were disqualified for cheating. If you can't
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: trust the camel beauty contests, I mean what can you trust?
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: What a complete It's the hypocrisy that gets you right.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Government that sounds so made up, doesn't it? Government offices
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: and it's from the Times of India, that's the name
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: of the publication. Government offices in Medina County, Ohio were
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: recently knocked off the Internet thanks to a squirrel who
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: thought some cables were something to chew on, some kind
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: of a toy, perhaps phones. An Internet service for several
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: offices was down for a while after a squirrel bit
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: into I'm sorry, bit a nest inside the fiber infrastructure,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: and then bit into multiple lines in that area, perhaps
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: looking for more things for the nest. I don't know.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Officials first suspected at contractors had cut cables, but later
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: discovered that it was in fact the squirrel. The outage,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: which hit places like the County Prosecutor's office, prompted the
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: county to work with providers on new safeguards to keep
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: wildlife from causing similar disruptions. Squirrels have a long track
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: record of triggering utility outages across the US, and this
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: is just the latest to join the list. But where
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: any of these squirrels enhanced to be more beautiful? I mean,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I think that's a fair question, isn't it. Isn't that
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: a fair question? A Long Island man in a peeing match,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: you know, with the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: won his battle thanks to the power of the press
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: to recap a sixty nine year old named as Seth
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: by Kofski said the DMV revoked his vanity license plate.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Remember we talked about this recently PB four we go,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: P before we go. He says it never caused any
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: problems or offended anyone. In January, DMV told him the
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: plate was no longer in compliance, and with the helping
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: media attention, by Kofski appealed to directly to Governor Kathy
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Hochel and it worked. Hochel personally called by Kofski to
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: let him know he can keep the plates. She told
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: him she thought it was hilarious and said, I think
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: everybody should be reminded to pee before you go. I
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: support the effort wholeheartedly. Baikowski's saying it was very heartwarming
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: and good to know that the government stands up for
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: our rights not only under the First Amendment, but to
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: laugh and to laugh at ourselves and to laugh at others.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: So good, right decision made there. Pennsylvania man on the
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: run from police after accidentally burned down his own townhouse
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: and three others while trying to kill spiders. We've all
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: been there. Best to get her, say thirty six year
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: old Sean McDermott, Wait a minute. The coach was seen
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: lighting small fires inside his home throughout the day, even
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: as a witness repeatedly tried to put them out. At
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: one point, police say he placed a love seat over
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: a smoldering fire on the floor. When McDermott's and the
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: witness left and later returned, the tire building was in gulf.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: McDermott then fled on a U haul truck and wanted
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: on arson and aggravated arson charges. Apparently, at last check
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: they were still looking for him. So and police in Saskatchewan,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Canada determined that a recent power outage in a small
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: town wasn't from weather or any natural cause. It was
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: from thieves who somehow managed to steal a power pole.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Power went out for about two hours before utility workers
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: were able to get it restored. Investigators noticed that there
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: was a missing power pole on an abandoned farm. Police
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: believe the thieves pulled the pole with the transformer out
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: of the ground and then loaded it onto a truck.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: So far, police have no leads the pole not found.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: They believe copper theft might have been the motive, but
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: warned that the crime is extremely dangerous because the pole
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: carried high voltage live power. They're asking if anyone saw
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: anything suspicious activity in the area to contact them. That
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: just sounds crazy. That doesn't sound like anything good for anybody.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's nuts, right. Today's show brought to you
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring

  Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: square and that away for you, and while they're there,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help and they do those
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,

  Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: the break. Well, if you're someone who always has music playing,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: you're doing your brain a big favor. A new study
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: found that older adults who frequently listen to music have
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: a thirty nine percent lower risk of developing dementia. Research
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: at Monash University followed more than ten eight hundred people
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: over the age of seventy and found that regular music engagement,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: whether listening or playing an instrument, was linked to better memory,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: higher cognitive scores, and significantly reduced cognitive decline. So turn
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: it out, the old If it's too loud, you're too old. No,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: it's always been too loud. That's not me. It's always
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: been too loud. Sensitive ears, man, sensitive ears. But you
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: should listen to it. It's good for you, especially if
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: it's this time of year and you're listening to, you know,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: some great Celtic or Irish music. It's the season. Why
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: don't we have radio stations flip into all Irish music
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: until Saint Patrick's Day. I don't understand they should have
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: been doing it. I don't know, since Groundhog Day, something
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: like that Valentine's Day. Maybe there's an interesting wave of
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: nostalgia currently crashing over Americans who are frustrated with streaming services.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Physical media like DVD's, Blu rays, even VHS tapes making
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: a comeback, especially among people in their twenties at the
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: LA Video stores. Vidiots. Young customers say renting discs lets
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: them cut down on pricey streaming subscriptions while still finding
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: movies that aren't available online. In fact, consumer reports a
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: survey says that nearly half of Americans still watch DVDs
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: or Blu rays, fifteen percent still use vhs. I do
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: still have a VCR. The last time I put something
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: in it, it started chewing up the tape, so that's
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: probably why I stopped using it. Experts say the revival
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: is driven by emotion, practicality, and culture, and with streaming
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: prices rising, content scattered across many platforms, some viewers are
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: feeling digital fatigue. I mean renting the movies if you
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: own them, that's one thing. If you have a huge
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: collection of DVDs and Blue rays, and if you still
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: have a work in VCR, then yes, I understand if
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: you're renting them, though I mean you're doing that regularly.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Does that add up to the cost of a streaming service?
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. A wine fridge perfect
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: place to store bottles of wine. But if you don't
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: have one, there's other spots around the house that are
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: good spots, some that are not so good. According to
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: a couple of Somalier's wine needs a cool, dark, stable environment,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: and the wrong spot can spoil Red's whites or sparkling
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: wines faster than you'd expect. They've listed six places you
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: should never keep a bottle of wine top of the refrigerator.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: There's heat coming off that refrigerator and they often vibrate.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: That's not good. It's okay for the refrigerator, it's not
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: good for the wine anywhere in the kitchen. Experts say
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: kitchen changes temperatures all the time thanks to ovens, dishwashers
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: and appliances, So don't do that. Definitely, don't keep it
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: in the car. Is not many things you should be
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: given in the CORP. Bottled water, by the way, just
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: sitting in your car, that's not good. That is not
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: good at all. Basically, don't put it somewhere for it
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: to age. Not all wines improve with age. Many ones
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: you bring home should be open and enjoyed straight away,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: so don't think, oh, I need a good spot for
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: this age. And the garage dark usually kind of cool,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: but experts say there's too many temperature swings there as well.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: You don't want any place where those temperatures can jump
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: up and down, so keep all that in mind. And
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: electronics enthusiast in India has officially said a Guinness World
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Record building a fully functional arcade machine that stands point
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: nine to eight inches tall despite being smaller than a
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: paper clip. The tiny cabinet features a working screen, four
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: buttons that allow you to play a game of Space Invaders. Look,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I think it's really cool. I like video games. I
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: like video game cabinets, and this thing is about half
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: excuse me, half the size of a like a double
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: a battery standing up next to it. I just don't
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: know how you're really able to play the game. I mean,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: I see the buttons. I just don't really understand how
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: you're able to actually play the game other than to
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: just go, hey, look, I played the game. According to
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: a recent survey, nearly seven to ten young men have
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: never updated or rarely update their dating app profile. Put
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: me in that group because I don't have one either.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Dating a profile app that dating experts suggests the one
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: thing that's slowing you down in a big way if
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: you're looking for a partner, A simple picture update with
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: an action picture instead of a boring selfie could go
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: a long way from generating more interest out there in
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: the dating world. How about the selfie where you're just
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: looking down at your phone. That's always a good one.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: If that's your profile picture on any social media, you
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: should change that. Just staring down at it. You know
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: you got the big double chin all that it's no
