Speaker 2: joining me. This will be the final show of twenty
0:16
Speaker 2: twenty five as I will put myself back into vacation mode.
0:20
Speaker 2: I do have one more thing to take care of
0:23
Speaker 2: before the week is over, but I will be basically
0:26
Speaker 2: on vacation mode. I still have one more episode Made
0:30
Speaker 2: of Stars podcast as doctor Sean Cruise and I are
0:34
Speaker 2: counting down all of the biggest space news stories of
0:38
Speaker 2: the year. We did part one last week. We released
0:43
Speaker 2: that on Christmas Eve, and we basically made it halfway
0:48
Speaker 2: through the year and we have got to wrap up
0:51
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five with the biggest news stories in the
0:54
Speaker 2: second half of the year. So if you're into space
0:59
Speaker 2: news and space exploration and what's going on, maybe you've
1:02
Speaker 2: got a kid in your life who is interested in
1:05
Speaker 2: growing up and getting into a steam profession, maybe introduce
1:09
Speaker 2: them to the Mate of Stars podcast. Content's clean and
1:14
Speaker 2: we talk about things going on at private space companies
1:18
Speaker 2: and what's going on at NASA. Sean and I were
1:21
Speaker 2: actually at the Kennedy Space Center when the Artemis two
1:24
Speaker 2: Booster Rocket arrived. We were down there invited to cover that,
1:28
Speaker 2: and we plan to be at Kennedy when Artemis two
1:31
Speaker 2: launches in a couple of months, actually like a month
1:35
Speaker 2: and a half. But more on that to come. But
1:38
Speaker 2: you can check that out. What you're listening to this
1:41
Speaker 2: podcast somewhere, so whatever your podcast preferences made of stars
1:47
Speaker 2: is there for you as well, so you can check
1:49
Speaker 2: that out. And that will be I guess, my final
1:53
Speaker 2: show of any kind for twenty twenty five. So we're
1:58
Speaker 2: here on this two Tuesday morning, the final show for
2:02
Speaker 2: me for the year. And it look a lot happened
2:05
Speaker 2: this year. A lot happened this year, and this will
2:09
Speaker 2: kind of also be a little bit of one of those,
2:11
Speaker 2: you know, Friday type shows. I like to end the
2:14
Speaker 2: week with one where we have some good news and
2:17
Speaker 2: some strange and bizarre news. Don't have a lot of
2:19
Speaker 2: stories for this week. A couple of nice good stories
2:23
Speaker 2: to end the year on as far as the positive stuff,
2:26
Speaker 2: and then a couple of you know, unfortunate stories. I mean,
2:32
Speaker 2: they are what they are, but we'll get to those
2:34
Speaker 2: coming up in just a few minutes. Few things before
2:37
Speaker 2: we get to that, I want to just touch on
2:39
Speaker 2: as we've wrapped up things for twenty twenty five. Yesterday's show,
2:47
Speaker 2: By the way, about kwanza was and I think I
2:51
Speaker 2: made this very clear in the show. It wasn't in
2:54
Speaker 2: any way to be derogatory to anyone who decides they
2:58
Speaker 2: would like to celebrate the holiday at Kwansa. I was
3:01
Speaker 2: just trying to point out the fact that we don't
3:04
Speaker 2: always hear the whole story about Kwanta. We don't really
3:07
Speaker 2: know a lot about where it came from. We have
3:10
Speaker 2: kind of been led to believe that this is a
3:13
Speaker 2: centuries old, you know, maybe even thousands of years old holiday,
3:21
Speaker 2: and it's not. I mean, there's elements of it. You
3:24
Speaker 2: can listen to yesterday's show. I'm not going to rehash
3:26
Speaker 2: all of it again. I just wanted to point out
3:29
Speaker 2: the fact that I don't know anyone who celebrates it.
3:34
Speaker 2: You may not either, Chances are you probably don't. It's
3:38
Speaker 2: a very low number of people. You know, half a million,
3:44
Speaker 2: you know, between a half a million, and they say
3:47
Speaker 2: as many as two million. In cases like that. I
3:52
Speaker 2: tend to err on the side of low because I
3:55
Speaker 2: just feel like when someone says half a million, two million,
4:02
Speaker 2: it seems to me like it just feels like half
4:05
Speaker 2: a million's probably more accurate. But who am I. I'm
4:10
Speaker 2: not an expert on you know, holidays that are less
4:13
Speaker 2: than sixty years old. That's not my particular area of expertise.
4:19
Speaker 2: If you celebrate it, do it, enjoy it, hope the best.
4:23
Speaker 2: You got a few more days of it before we
4:25
Speaker 2: get into But I just feel like we needed to
4:30
Speaker 2: have a little bit of a reality check when it
4:33
Speaker 2: comes to that particular holiday and it's origins and the
4:37
Speaker 2: fact that it was, you know, a black separatist, anti
4:41
Speaker 2: Christian takeaway Christianity, and I just feel like when that's
4:47
Speaker 2: your origin and that's your intention, people shouldn't know before
4:51
Speaker 2: they feel obligated to mention it. I feel like we
4:56
Speaker 2: have a tendency now like this time of year. Christmas
5:02
Speaker 2: is the one that people they they mention it, but
5:04
Speaker 2: they kind of don't want to mention it because they
5:06
Speaker 2: want to you know, well, I don't want to upset anybody,
5:09
Speaker 2: and then they kind of skip to like Kwanza and
5:12
Speaker 2: then they go to Honkah and there's a lot more
5:14
Speaker 2: people that celebrate Honikah's That's just kind of my point.
5:18
Speaker 2: But again, you be you. I don't want to take
5:21
Speaker 2: from anyone whatever makes this season special for you. I
5:27
Speaker 2: want you to have that. I want you to know
5:28
Speaker 2: and if you celebrate it and anything I said, you
5:33
Speaker 2: know you found offensive, that was not my intention. I
5:37
Speaker 2: don't think I was offensive at all. I'm just pointing
5:39
Speaker 2: out some things. Now there are people that would be
5:43
Speaker 2: you know, much more extreme on the left that would
5:46
Speaker 2: find everything I said about offensive that it was again
5:49
Speaker 2: not my intention. I just think it's important that we
5:52
Speaker 2: take a moment to know what it is, why it
5:56
Speaker 2: was created. We can try to zero in on you. Oh,
6:01
Speaker 2: it's about celebrating heritage, and that's people should celebrate their heritage.
6:06
Speaker 2: You know, my people will do it in in uh,
6:11
Speaker 2: you know, March, like around mid March. You know, there's
6:15
Speaker 2: a lot of there's a lot of that then, and
6:19
Speaker 2: you know, any opportunity to uh, you know, celebrate something
6:24
Speaker 2: that's that's part of my heritage. I mean, I've got
6:27
Speaker 2: a diverse background, largely from the same general area, but
6:34
Speaker 2: not all of them celebrate Saint Patrick's Day with the
6:38
Speaker 2: same reverence. But that's all. That's just the point that
6:43
Speaker 2: I'm trying to make, is you you celebrate your heritage.
6:46
Speaker 2: You should celebrate your heritage. You should just know if
6:49
Speaker 2: someone creates a holiday and tries to sell you that
6:53
Speaker 2: it's one thing, but it really was about something else.
6:56
Speaker 2: And I just feel like we are in a time
7:00
Speaker 2: when religion is certainly under attack. We know what's happening
7:04
Speaker 2: to Christians and a number of places around the world,
7:10
Speaker 2: right we know what's happened, and it's horrible. We know
7:14
Speaker 2: what's happened to you know, Christians here Stateside. We know
7:17
Speaker 2: what's happened at churches, we know what's happened by groups.
7:21
Speaker 2: We've gone through this process of denigrating people to make
7:26
Speaker 2: people feel okay with hurting them or doing something horrible
7:30
Speaker 2: to them. Sadly, and even if that's not the specific intention,
7:33
Speaker 2: it certainly has opened the door to it. So if
7:37
Speaker 2: you have another holiday whose original intention was to take
7:41
Speaker 2: some of the steam out of or to direct people
7:44
Speaker 2: away from Christmas and Christianity, I just think it's important
7:48
Speaker 2: that we call it what it is. That's all. That's
7:51
Speaker 2: all the show was about yesterday. It's not about being offensive,
7:55
Speaker 2: it's not about taking away something from someone, and that's that.
8:00
Speaker 2: That's all. So we're going to enter into the new
8:03
Speaker 2: year in a little bit. We're going to it's a
8:05
Speaker 2: milestone anniversary for the country. It's going to be we're
8:11
Speaker 2: going to need to be on high alert, quite frankly,
8:13
Speaker 2: because of all the aforementioned things of people that want
8:15
Speaker 2: to hurt us, want to do bad things to us.
8:18
Speaker 2: Brace yourself with that. We're also entering into a year
8:21
Speaker 2: that will be mid terms, and once we get into
8:25
Speaker 2: these more consequential election years, there has a tendency. I'm
8:28
Speaker 2: not a conspiracy guy, but we do have a tendency
8:32
Speaker 2: when there are significant elections coming up that it seems like,
8:37
Speaker 2: for some reason, we have this run on horrible things
8:40
Speaker 2: happening and then people having a need to get out
8:43
Speaker 2: and ride in the streets. It's almost as if the
8:47
Speaker 2: riot in the street people are just kind of right
8:51
Speaker 2: now amassing more money that they can pay the protesters
8:54
Speaker 2: to go out. Now we know there are professional protesters.
8:59
Speaker 2: We know that our companies I hear from them occasionally.
9:03
Speaker 2: We'd like to come on your show and talk about
9:05
Speaker 2: what we do to pay people. I may take one
9:07
Speaker 2: of them up on that. That has been one of
9:08
Speaker 2: those things where you vet these people because you want
9:11
Speaker 2: to get a better understanding of who they are and
9:13
Speaker 2: what they want to talk about, and we'll see maybe
9:16
Speaker 2: that's something that we do in twenty twenty six. But
9:19
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just question whether or not they're
9:21
Speaker 2: trying to get the word out because they need more
9:24
Speaker 2: money to pay more people to get out and burn
9:27
Speaker 2: things down. So brace yourself for all of those things.
9:30
Speaker 2: I don't want to be pessimistic as we go into
9:32
Speaker 2: the new year. I want to be positive. I want
9:34
Speaker 2: us to think about, man, we got some great things
9:36
Speaker 2: ahead celebrating this incredible anniversary for this country. But you
9:42
Speaker 2: just got to be ready, and you got to know
9:44
Speaker 2: when something bad happens, you can just kind of go, oh,
9:47
Speaker 2: here they go. Here we come with the craziness because
9:52
Speaker 2: you got to be ready for it. All right, Sorry,
9:55
Speaker 2: just the reality check. I don't want to end on
9:57
Speaker 2: a downer and start the year on a down But
10:01
Speaker 2: let's jump into some positive a positive news though, A
10:04
Speaker 2: couple of good stories as we get ready to close
10:07
Speaker 2: out the year. This is a cool story. It involves
10:10
Speaker 2: a Low's store in Richmond, Virginia, and for like ten
10:15
Speaker 2: years there was a stray cat named Francine that sort
10:18
Speaker 2: of just made its home in the garden department of
10:21
Speaker 2: a Lowe's and it just became part of the family
10:24
Speaker 2: of the store. Customers would come in, they would see
10:27
Speaker 2: Franccene well. A while back, Francine disappeared. There was an
10:31
Speaker 2: employee there named Wayne Schneider who had become sort of
10:34
Speaker 2: the main caretaker. Got a little concern Francene could have
10:37
Speaker 2: wandered into a freight truck that was headed to a
10:40
Speaker 2: distribution center in North Carolina, about eighty five miles away.
10:45
Speaker 2: So Wayne realized that finding Francine was going to be
10:49
Speaker 2: a challenge, but he reached out to the warehouse managers,
10:54
Speaker 2: Preston Bullock Taylor taking it in North Carolina. Taylor said
10:57
Speaker 2: that they treated the challenge like a missing fan family member,
11:01
Speaker 2: and they tried to lure Francene with cat food and
11:05
Speaker 2: flew a thermal drone over the area days past, no
11:08
Speaker 2: success until surveillance video finally captured a grainy image of
11:13
Speaker 2: fran scene in a cargo truck parking area, and it
11:17
Speaker 2: paid all. Francine was found safe and sound, return to
11:20
Speaker 2: her store family in Virginia and she's at Lowe's. Enjoyed
11:24
Speaker 2: the holidays at Loewe's and pretty great story for this
11:28
Speaker 2: time of year. Sounds like a movie in the works,
11:31
Speaker 2: the very least could be a Hallmark movie, right, and
11:35
Speaker 2: then here's another one. Two thousand and nine was the
11:38
Speaker 2: start of this for farmer Darren Greer of Reiner of Virginia,
11:42
Speaker 2: who's been donating produce and working with the Society of
11:45
Speaker 2: Saint Andrew to help those in need. He was recently
11:48
Speaker 2: honored because he hit a milestone. One million pounds of
11:51
Speaker 2: fresh fruits and vegetables donated. Each apple, each bushel of corn,
11:56
Speaker 2: creative tomatoes went from his soil to food pantry the
12:00
Speaker 2: local shelters and families in the community. Darren is passionate
12:03
Speaker 2: about farming, happy to see his hard work make an
12:06
Speaker 2: impact on the lives of others. He says, I've got
12:08
Speaker 2: the means to do it, and I guess it's just
12:10
Speaker 2: become my hobby to help people. I don't want to
12:13
Speaker 2: see anybody go hungry. The Society of Saint Andrew held
12:17
Speaker 2: a surprise celebration for Darren at his farm, presented with
12:20
Speaker 2: a Feeding Virginia Award. Man. Good stuff happening in Virginia,
12:24
Speaker 2: right or you know? Two positive stories anyway? By coincidence
12:31
Speaker 2: and also let him know he was responsible for providing
12:33
Speaker 2: healthy food for more than four hundred thousand people think
12:37
Speaker 2: about that as an impact. So good stuff. All right,
12:41
Speaker 2: we're gonna jump over to some strange and bizarre news
12:44
Speaker 2: from around the world. I suspect they won't both be
12:48
Speaker 2: from Virginia. I don't believe it. Either of them is
12:50
Speaker 2: Virginia if I remember correctly. But they are strange, they
12:56
Speaker 2: are weird, and one of them, well, it's just what
13:00
Speaker 2: it is in this story. I didn't do it a
13:02
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago when I first heard about it.
13:06
Speaker 2: I wanted to save this one for the kind of
13:07
Speaker 2: the end of the year. But it was basically one
13:12
Speaker 2: of those food delivery stories that you kind of go
13:16
Speaker 2: gotta be a little hesitant. Now people say to me
13:19
Speaker 2: all the time you have do you do the door dash?
13:21
Speaker 2: Do you do the Uber Eats? I don't. I've heard
13:24
Speaker 2: some bad stories, and here's one of those stories. That
13:29
Speaker 2: is one of those bad stories. And thankfully to a
13:31
Speaker 2: doorbell camera that was installed. This was in Indiana when
13:37
Speaker 2: a DoorDash delivery driver. According to investigators say the driver
13:41
Speaker 2: was caught on camera appearing to spray an irritant substance
13:46
Speaker 2: onto a customer's food. The customer, Mike Cardon, said his
13:50
Speaker 2: wife took one bite of the meal and immediately began
13:53
Speaker 2: choking before getting sick. Recovered within about ten minutes, the
13:57
Speaker 2: couple realized something was wrong. Cardon noticed the residue on
14:02
Speaker 2: the bag and inhaled some of the fumes himself. He
14:05
Speaker 2: checked the doorbell. Camera footage saw the female driver drop
14:09
Speaker 2: off the food and spray something on the bag before
14:11
Speaker 2: walking away. And they said, basically, you know, you're looking
14:16
Speaker 2: at charges of battery and food tampering and everything. Just
14:21
Speaker 2: you gotta take a look at it. The deliveries. We've
14:24
Speaker 2: had stories where a guy was urinating in a cup
14:27
Speaker 2: for a restaurant and delivered that instead of the cup
14:30
Speaker 2: that was supposed to have the milkshake or the beverage
14:33
Speaker 2: or whatever in it. That's scary stuff. And I'm not
14:38
Speaker 2: putting these companies down. There's a lot of great drivers
14:41
Speaker 2: and I don't know, I don't know what the reason
14:43
Speaker 2: would be behind doing this, but all right, this is
14:46
Speaker 2: a disgusting one. I'm gonna warn you that right now.
14:49
Speaker 2: It's really gross. But here we go. One last story
14:53
Speaker 2: out of Florida before we wrap up twenty twenty five,
14:57
Speaker 2: a Florida man Palm Beach was arrested twenty seven year
15:01
Speaker 2: old Jonathan Houston after witnesses reported seeing him slice open
15:06
Speaker 2: a hog and start eating the animal's carcass on a
15:11
Speaker 2: public street. He had a camera rolling to capture the
15:14
Speaker 2: disgusting scene. Police took him into custody charged him with
15:16
Speaker 2: criminal mischief. A fire rescue crew had to be called
15:20
Speaker 2: in to clean the blood off the sidewalk. Houston, who
15:24
Speaker 2: posts videos of himself eating raw meat on social media,
15:27
Speaker 2: admitted to the act and even uploaded clips to Instagram
15:31
Speaker 2: thousands of followers he has. He was booked in a jail,
15:34
Speaker 2: pleated not guilty, defended his done on Instagram, calling it
15:38
Speaker 2: part of a traditional diet. Sorry if you're listening over
15:43
Speaker 2: some bacon or ham this morning. Today's show brought to
15:46
Speaker 2: you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center,
15:50
Speaker 2: inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and
15:56
Speaker 2: STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean
16:00
Speaker 2: they do it for school age kids as school age
16:03
Speaker 2: kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they
16:06
Speaker 2: also do it through their university programs where you can
16:09
Speaker 2: learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and
16:15
Speaker 2: stem fields are booming right now. And you can learn
16:18
Speaker 2: more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC
16:25
Speaker 2: dot org. While you're there, also check out some of
16:28
Speaker 2: their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they
16:33
Speaker 2: do with the Schwob School of Music from Columbus State
16:36
Speaker 2: University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert
16:40
Speaker 2: experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of
16:43
Speaker 2: those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
16:46
Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
16:49
Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
16:54
Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
16:58
Speaker 2: Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome.
17:02
Speaker 2: Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check
17:07
Speaker 2: out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you
17:09
Speaker 2: can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola
17:12
Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
17:16
Speaker 2: city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you
17:18
Speaker 2: can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also
17:22
Speaker 2: on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin
17:26
Speaker 2: says Charlie, Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org. I just remind
17:31
Speaker 2: you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center
17:34
Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
17:39
Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
17:42
Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
17:48
Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
17:52
Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
17:55
Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
17:58
Speaker 2: squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you
18:01
Speaker 2: can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
18:04
Speaker 2: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
18:07
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
18:19
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
18:32
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
18:41
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
19:02
Speaker 2: as well. Seven O six thy five eight forty five

19:08
Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show right
19:12
Speaker 2: after the break. Well, as we are winding down twenty
19:24
Speaker 2: twenty five, embracing ourselves for all ahead in twenty twenty six,
19:30
Speaker 2: it's hard not to look back and think about how
19:33
Speaker 2: quickly some things advanced throughout this past year. And one
19:38
Speaker 2: of those things, of course, was ai. AI was around,
19:42
Speaker 2: but it certainly made huge strides over the course of
19:47
Speaker 2: this past year, and one of those areas that some
19:50
Speaker 2: people seem to think was a big stride is one
19:55
Speaker 2: that experts say, not so fast, let's don't make this
20:01
Speaker 2: commitment just yet. And that is in the areas of therapy.
20:08
Speaker 2: And a new study done says that AI chatbots do
20:11
Speaker 2: not have emotional intelligence yet, so they can't be your therapist.
20:17
Speaker 2: Researchers found that chatbots are getting better at conversation but
20:20
Speaker 2: still struggle with the subtle art of building real human connections.
20:25
Speaker 2: And it seems that even humans who are not particularly
20:28
Speaker 2: trained to be counselors are still better at mirroring and
20:32
Speaker 2: responding to others, which is a key part of building
20:35
Speaker 2: trust in therapy. So for now, AI can be conversation,
20:41
Speaker 2: just shouldn't quite be your therapist just yet. One of
20:46
Speaker 2: those things that you would think that people might understand.
20:50
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of misinformation about where we are
20:53
Speaker 2: when it comes to therapy and AI. So if you
20:58
Speaker 2: think you are someone who needs therapy, your best bet
21:03
Speaker 2: is still an actual therapist, So just keep that. And
21:06
Speaker 2: I'm a proponent for therapy. I am a proponent for
21:10
Speaker 2: mental health. So by all means, if you think that
21:13
Speaker 2: you need it, you should talk to an actual therapist,
21:16
Speaker 2: and there's some great options out there for you, even online,
21:20
Speaker 2: even video therapy. We're at that point of the year
21:23
Speaker 2: as we're getting into bowl games and where we're into
21:26
Speaker 2: ball games, but we're getting deeper into ball games, and
21:28
Speaker 2: we're getting deeper into the college football playoff. One of
21:32
Speaker 2: the things the best selling game of last year and
21:39
Speaker 2: well for twenty twenty four for the end of the year,
21:41
Speaker 2: and then rolling on into the success of that into
21:43
Speaker 2: this year is of course the College Football twenty twenty
21:48
Speaker 2: five and then College Football twenty six and it basically
21:51
Speaker 2: this new version of the game that's been out for
21:53
Speaker 2: a little while now has a thing in it which says,
21:56
Speaker 2: when you choose to play in the online versions of
22:01
Speaker 2: this game as a school that counts, it gives credit
22:06
Speaker 2: towards the school earning a portion of a royalty pie,
22:11
Speaker 2: a collection, if you will, a pool of five million dollars.
22:15
Speaker 2: And so the more you play with your favorite team,
22:18
Speaker 2: the better the chances of your favorite team getting some
22:21
Speaker 2: of that money. So keep that in mind. And look,
22:24
Speaker 2: if you don't have a particular I was gonna say
22:27
Speaker 2: dog in the fight, but animal in the fight or
22:31
Speaker 2: mascot in the fight and you're just looking for a
22:34
Speaker 2: way to maybe support a school that's closer to you. Well,
22:38
Speaker 2: get on Madden twenty twenty six and play as one
22:43
Speaker 2: of those smaller schools and see if you can't give
22:46
Speaker 2: them a little portion of that pie. That's all back
22:49
Speaker 2: to AI or I guess, sort of like AI, but
22:52
Speaker 2: into robots. There's a University of California, Berkeley robot has
22:57
Speaker 2: one leg and it's able to land on small targets
23:01
Speaker 2: with pinpoint accuracy. It's called Salto. It's inspired by squirrels,
23:07
Speaker 2: who can leap long distances and land precisely on branches,
23:11
Speaker 2: and after studying the leaping mechanics of squirrels, the scientists
23:14
Speaker 2: gave Salto a grasping claw, propeller like flywheel helps it
23:18
Speaker 2: adjust in midair, allows it to jump off walls like
23:21
Speaker 2: it's in an action movie. A'll lah, Jackie chan I guess,
23:25
Speaker 2: And it could be put if it was just sprinting,
23:27
Speaker 2: I would say, alh, Tom cruise. You know, he does
23:29
Speaker 2: his own stunts too. Could be put to work in
23:32
Speaker 2: search and rescue mission someday, and could navigate other difficult places,
23:37
Speaker 2: including the possibility of using it in space. How about that?
23:42
Speaker 2: So you know, land it on another body, whether it
23:46
Speaker 2: be on the Moon or Mars, those being some or
23:49
Speaker 2: you know one that we're not hoping to put people
23:51
Speaker 2: on just yet and explore around and be able to,
23:55
Speaker 2: you know, drop into very specific places and perform tasks
23:59
Speaker 2: or community or any of those things. So kind of
24:02
Speaker 2: a nice idea. You know, you're may be facing the
24:07
Speaker 2: possibility of putting yourself on dry January come January one,
24:14
Speaker 2: the idea of not having any alcohol in the month
24:17
Speaker 2: of January to basically reset yourself after maybe having a
24:21
Speaker 2: little too much in the month of December. People tend
24:25
Speaker 2: to do that as they celebrate in the holidays. But
24:29
Speaker 2: just offering this up. This isn't me telling you not
24:32
Speaker 2: to participate in Dry January. It's not me telling you
24:36
Speaker 2: to participate in it. I'm just offering a little bit
24:39
Speaker 2: of information. First. There's been a loosening of some guidelines
24:45
Speaker 2: when it comes to alcohol consumption. The official guidelines established
24:49
Speaker 2: by the Department of Health and Human Services and the
24:51
Speaker 2: Department of Agricultures currently say that there should be a
24:56
Speaker 2: limit of two alcoholic drinks a day. That would be
24:59
Speaker 2: a twelve ounce beer, a five ounce glass of wine,
25:02
Speaker 2: or a one and a half ounce serving of hard
25:04
Speaker 2: liquor for men, and that women should stop at a
25:07
Speaker 2: single serving. But apparently the two departments have been working
25:10
Speaker 2: on trying to figure out what a moderation limited amount
25:16
Speaker 2: of alcohol would make sense for each, So we'll see
25:19
Speaker 2: where that goes moving forward. And then conversely, a new
25:24
Speaker 2: study says that when you drink alcohol as you are
25:27
Speaker 2: recovering from an injury, that's a no no, and the
25:32
Speaker 2: top reasons to skip drinking as you're hamstring or acl
25:36
Speaker 2: heel is healing, you should basically not let alcohol be
25:41
Speaker 2: part of that healing because it could disrupt immune cells
25:44
Speaker 2: ability to reach and repair the injured tissues, slowing down
25:48
Speaker 2: muscle protein synthesis. So it's the process of repairing and
25:53
Speaker 2: rebuilding your muscle. So extending the healing time for broken
25:55
Speaker 2: bones could happen if you're drinking, could blunt the hormones
25:59
Speaker 2: in the bar, ability to repair the connective tissues. All
26:02
Speaker 2: of those things could play out, So keep that in
26:04
Speaker 2: mind as maybe another incentive for dry January. I'm not
26:09
Speaker 2: telling you to do it one way or the other.
26:11
Speaker 2: That's moderation and not drinking while you are recovering from
26:17
Speaker 2: an injury, things that would seemingly make sense, but not
26:21
Speaker 2: everybody's there that'll do it. For this Tuesday edition of
26:25
