Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Friday morning, nineteenth day of December. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:15
Speaker 2: joining me. Less than a week to Christmas. The countdown
0:20
Speaker 2: is really and truly on a final day of school
0:25
Speaker 2: for many area kids. I know some are already done
0:29
Speaker 2: and they're already thinking about well, they're not thinking about anything,
0:34
Speaker 2: but they're thinking that they don't have to do a
0:36
Speaker 2: whole lot until twenty twenty six, which is certainly the
0:39
Speaker 2: case of school is out for them. I know, you know,
0:42
Speaker 2: most of the colleges, I guess are done, finals are done.
0:45
Speaker 2: People are back home or if they're going home or
0:49
Speaker 2: whatever they're doing. But for the most part, today is it.
0:53
Speaker 2: This is the final day of some of the school
0:57
Speaker 2: time hassles of all of it. So we have had
1:00
Speaker 2: a heavy load of homework for our kids, especially the
1:05
Speaker 2: younger one, and he is excited to be on the
1:09
Speaker 2: other side of the giant load of homework that has
1:13
Speaker 2: been piled on on these last few weeks. So he's
1:16
Speaker 2: earned a break and needs to recharge that little battery
1:19
Speaker 2: of his And I understand, I get it. We all
1:23
Speaker 2: need it. We all absolutely need it. So it's important.
1:27
Speaker 2: So that's good that they're they're getting to this point
1:30
Speaker 2: in the year. Now, if your kid, wherever you live,
1:33
Speaker 2: has some school days next week, hang in there. It'll
1:36
Speaker 2: be close. It just depends on geographically where you are
1:39
Speaker 2: and how long your summer was. Here we have a
1:43
Speaker 2: shorter summer, so they get a few more days here
1:46
Speaker 2: and there, kind of stacked on and piled up. I
1:49
Speaker 2: want to jump into our positive and good news as
1:55
Speaker 2: we get closer to the holiday next week, now less
2:01
Speaker 2: than a week away, and have a couple stories I
2:04
Speaker 2: want to jump into. First and foremost, I want to
2:08
Speaker 2: talk about this story. It is out of Newburgh, New York.
2:12
Speaker 2: Students and faculty at Mount Saint Mary College hit a
2:18
Speaker 2: holiday milestone that collected more than a thousand toys for
2:22
Speaker 2: families in the Hudson Valley. It's an annual drive. It
2:26
Speaker 2: is led by campus chaplain, Father Gregory Flutt, and it
2:33
Speaker 2: is a hard working group of student athletes. Obviously, they
2:36
Speaker 2: spent weeks rallying the community to ensure that no child
2:39
Speaker 2: in the region goes without a gift from students to
2:42
Speaker 2: staff the entire campus stepping up to unpack and deliver
2:46
Speaker 2: a massive haul to charities in time for the holidays.
2:51
Speaker 2: For the organizers, it's about much more than just hitting
2:53
Speaker 2: a number. It's about helping their neighbors during a special
2:58
Speaker 2: time of year. As father Gregory explained, the season is
3:03
Speaker 2: a season of miracles in light that calls us to
3:06
Speaker 2: open our hearts to see more than a thousand toys
3:09
Speaker 2: gathered for local children as a beautiful reminder of what
3:12
Speaker 2: we can achieve when we come together. And there's stories
3:15
Speaker 2: like this all around the country, but this is one
3:20
Speaker 2: a spotlight. I think it's a great story, so good
3:23
Speaker 2: for good for them, And it's that joy that you
3:27
Speaker 2: get when you are able to help that I think
3:30
Speaker 2: sometimes gets taken away. I've talked about this at great length,
3:33
Speaker 2: but when we're in a situation where it feels like
3:36
Speaker 2: the government wants to be the one to provide for
3:38
Speaker 2: people and kind of takes away some of that from
3:42
Speaker 2: us by taking more of our money to give to people,
3:45
Speaker 2: and then we miss out on the opportunity to enjoy
3:47
Speaker 2: what it feels like to be a part of it.
3:50
Speaker 2: A nonprofit group in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, called Bridge to Brighter
3:54
Speaker 2: is helping young men who aged out of foster care
3:57
Speaker 2: and then found themselves out on their own and leaving
4:00
Speaker 2: them to fend for themselves. The charity places men seventeen
4:03
Speaker 2: to twenty four years old in their own apartments and
4:07
Speaker 2: provides safe housing, mental health support, and time to figure
4:10
Speaker 2: life out. Bridge to Brighter doesn't just hand over the
4:13
Speaker 2: keys and vanish. They are expected to go to school
4:16
Speaker 2: or work and learn some real life skills like budgeting
4:20
Speaker 2: and cooking, attend counseling, and gradually take on the responsibility
4:23
Speaker 2: of paying rent. The goal isn't just housing its stability,
4:27
Speaker 2: it's confidence, its independence. With the Bridge to Bright Water
4:32
Speaker 2: is now just four years old and only a handful
4:34
Speaker 2: of residents have graduated out, early signs show the program
4:37
Speaker 2: making a difference. I like this. This is a good thing.
4:41
Speaker 2: Those involved think it could be a model that could
4:43
Speaker 2: work anywhere in the country, changing lives in Milwaukee, and
4:47
Speaker 2: they say it's helping these young men transition into adulthood
4:50
Speaker 2: out of bumpy childhoods. So that's great. The executive director
4:56
Speaker 2: of the program says, I want them to feel love,
4:58
Speaker 2: I want them to feel supported, I want them to
5:00
Speaker 2: have self worth. I think you're giving them that, and
5:03
Speaker 2: that's great, and I think that's it is something that
5:06
Speaker 2: maybe could be modeled other places around the country. All right,
5:12
Speaker 2: let's suid around the world. Let's dive into some strange
5:15
Speaker 2: and bizarre news, because that's what you're here for. It's Friday,
5:18
Speaker 2: it's the Friday before Christmas. Let's get into some good stuff,
5:23
Speaker 2: all right. Everyone can agree that spitting in public is nasty.
5:27
Speaker 2: I don't know that everyone can agree on that. A
5:30
Speaker 2: lot of people can agree with that. Many would even
5:33
Speaker 2: be okay with the spitter receiving a fine for doing so.
5:37
Speaker 2: But people are rallying in Sport of an elderly Englishman
5:39
Speaker 2: who has recently ticketed for littering because he blew because
5:44
Speaker 2: a leaf blew into his mouth and he spat it out.
5:48
Speaker 2: So he's walking down the street, leaf falls in his mouth,
5:50
Speaker 2: he spits it out and then he gets fine for it.
5:53
Speaker 2: Eighty six year old Roy Marsh says that he stopped
5:56
Speaker 2: for a rest while walking through a parking lot when
5:59
Speaker 2: the wind blew the leaf into his mouth. He immediately
6:03
Speaker 2: had the reaction of spit it out. That's something in
6:06
Speaker 2: my mouth that shouldn't be there. Some police officers approached
6:10
Speaker 2: him in cited him for littering, which carries a fine
6:12
Speaker 2: of three hundred and thirty five dollars. At first, he
6:14
Speaker 2: thought the officers were kidding and he called him a
6:17
Speaker 2: silly boy. And that's when things, I guess got extra
6:21
Speaker 2: serious and he got the ticket. Mars says he was
6:23
Speaker 2: able to get the fine reduced to two hundred dollars,
6:27
Speaker 2: and he still expected to pay it. A local lawmaker
6:30
Speaker 2: accused the police of being heavy handed with enforcement. That's
6:33
Speaker 2: not what you hear often about the British police. They're
6:35
Speaker 2: rarely heavy handed with enforcement of things. You said, what
6:39
Speaker 2: on Twitter? Eh, you're going to jail, buddy. It's ridiculous.
6:47
Speaker 2: I mean, what if the guy thought it was an insect,
6:50
Speaker 2: that'd be my first thought. You know, you're walking down
6:53
Speaker 2: the street, you stop to take a rest, something falls
6:55
Speaker 2: in your mouth. It's brown. Is it a roach? Eh?
6:58
Speaker 2: Sorry if you're eating cheerios. But yeah, you'd want to
7:02
Speaker 2: spit it out whatever it was. I mean, maybe you
7:05
Speaker 2: could argue he could have just taken it out with
7:07
Speaker 2: his hand, But it's pretty sudden for something to just
7:10
Speaker 2: suddenly be in your mouth and you didn't intend for
7:14
Speaker 2: it to be there, all right, let's get back across
7:17
Speaker 2: the pond to Florida, where a woman was arrested after
7:20
Speaker 2: police say she drove a stolen van to the federal courthouse,
7:24
Speaker 2: where she was scheduled to stand trial for her part
7:26
Speaker 2: in a massive COVID relief fraud case. Thirty nine year
7:30
Speaker 2: old LaToya Clark was pulled over just blocks from the
7:34
Speaker 2: courthouse after a license plate reader flagged the vehicle. The
7:38
Speaker 2: van had been reported stolen by U haul you. When
7:41
Speaker 2: officials explained why she was being detained, Clark reportedly replied, oh,
7:46
Speaker 2: I know why. I'm on my way to court for
7:48
Speaker 2: a federal crime. Court records show that Clark rented the
7:52
Speaker 2: van two months ago for just one day and never
7:55
Speaker 2: returned it. The failure turned into a felony charge and
7:58
Speaker 2: landed her in county jail instead of a courtroom. Clark
8:02
Speaker 2: already facing serious federal charges. Prosecutors say that she and
8:07
Speaker 2: five others ran a scheme that filed ninety two fake
8:10
Speaker 2: COVID relief applications, netting twenty nine million dollars in paycheck
8:15
Speaker 2: protection program funds. The money was allegedly launched through shell companies,
8:20
Speaker 2: three of which Clark controlled. She had been free on
8:23
Speaker 2: two hundred fifty thousand dollars bond, but now with the
8:27
Speaker 2: new arrest, the judge revoked that. Clark now faces not
8:30
Speaker 2: only the fraud charges that's about twenty years in prison potentially,
8:34
Speaker 2: but now also a stolen vehicle charge. So you know,
8:39
Speaker 2: if you're gonna defraud people during COVID, maybe you know,
8:43
Speaker 2: just do it in Minnesota. I mean, that's the first
8:45
Speaker 2: piece of advice. Do any of those kind of things
8:49
Speaker 2: in Minnesota, and then you might not even you know,
8:53
Speaker 2: be on the radar. Potentially, it may never get on
8:56
Speaker 2: anyone's radar. Sheriff's deputies in se Arisota, Florida, have once
9:03
Speaker 2: again had to remove a massive alligator from a public place,
9:08
Speaker 2: and apparently it's been happening so much that you know,
9:13
Speaker 2: they're getting good at it. A week after officers removed
9:17
Speaker 2: a giant fourteen foot, six hundred pound gator from the
9:19
Speaker 2: middle of a road, they were called out again to
9:22
Speaker 2: a seven eleven store to remove a ten foot alligator
9:27
Speaker 2: which had been loitering inside the store. I don't know
9:29
Speaker 2: if that's loitering. I mean, it is, but it's not.
9:32
Speaker 2: It's possible it was just there for a gatorade. I
9:37
Speaker 2: don't know, but it seems that the workers there had
9:42
Speaker 2: no intention of trying to deal with it themselves, so
9:48
Speaker 2: the sheriff's office was called in. They shared video of
9:51
Speaker 2: the capture on social media, saying, Yep, happened again another day,
9:54
Speaker 2: another ga gator Sarasota is really determined to make this
9:59
Speaker 2: a weekly serious So you know, no word if they
10:02
Speaker 2: ran and went kriike and dove on it or any
10:05
Speaker 2: of that. Looks like they're just pulling it with a
10:06
Speaker 2: big rope. So there's that they didn't sign up for that.
10:11
Speaker 2: Maybe when they joined the force. I would think. Police
10:15
Speaker 2: in Delaware say an auto theft investigation took an odd
10:17
Speaker 2: turn when they received a phone call from the suspect.
10:23
Speaker 2: Officers responded to a report of a stolen Hyundai Sonata
10:26
Speaker 2: or High Unday, depending on how you want to pronounce it,
10:28
Speaker 2: I say Hyundai. The owners said that they left the
10:33
Speaker 2: car running unattended and someone left with it. The following day,
10:38
Speaker 2: police received a call from twenty one year old Kon Baxter,
10:42
Speaker 2: who told him he stole the car and then had
10:44
Speaker 2: been towed. The reason he was calling was because he'd
10:47
Speaker 2: left something inside the vehicle. And wanted to get it back.
10:49
Speaker 2: Police arranged to meet with Baxter, placed him under arrest,
10:52
Speaker 2: and the car was recovered from a local towing company.
10:57
Speaker 2: So what was in the It was in the back
11:01
Speaker 2: of the car. Can we get that information? Why do
11:05
Speaker 2: we not know what the item was? I think that
11:09
Speaker 2: should be part of the story, shouldn't it. More than
11:11
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty passengers were left stranded over the
11:14
Speaker 2: weekend in Paradise after their KLM flight from Aruba to
11:19
Speaker 2: Amsterdam was canceled because of a rat on the plane.
11:24
Speaker 2: The rodent was spotted during the plane's first journey from
11:26
Speaker 2: Amsterdam to Aruba. KLM spokesperson says the pilot chose to
11:30
Speaker 2: continue on to Aruba rather than turn back to Amsterdam.
11:35
Speaker 2: When the plane landed, it had to be taken out
11:37
Speaker 2: of service for the crews to try to capture the
11:41
Speaker 2: rodent and then give the plane a thorough cleansing. Two
11:47
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty four passengers were waiting to board the
11:49
Speaker 2: plane for a flight back to Amsterdam, but with no
11:51
Speaker 2: other plane available, KLM had to provide them with hotel accommodations.
11:55
Speaker 2: Thirty six hours later, the rat was removed, the plane
11:58
Speaker 2: was cleaned. The passengers, who were forced to spend an
12:00
Speaker 2: extra day in Aruba then headed home to Amsterdam. So
12:04
Speaker 2: I realize, let me just say this, I realize you
12:07
Speaker 2: can look at this and say they're in Paradise, they're
12:10
Speaker 2: forced to spend an extra day and a half there,
12:12
Speaker 2: poor them. Reality though, is you don't know what they
12:16
Speaker 2: Maybe they had connecting flights. I'm speaking from some experience
12:22
Speaker 2: of having to go through some of these kinds of
12:23
Speaker 2: hassles because of connecting flights. That's all I can tell you.
12:26
Speaker 2: That's all that I can lay out for you is
12:29
Speaker 2: let's not mock it too much, because yes, they had
12:34
Speaker 2: extra time there and it seems like it would be nice,
12:37
Speaker 2: but there's always that possibility that it's really disrupting something
12:41
Speaker 2: in their lives. The next flight or whatever it is
12:44
Speaker 2: trying to get to a loved one, which is what
12:47
Speaker 2: we were trying to do. So imagine opening your door
12:50
Speaker 2: finding amount of packages that aren't yours. It happened to
12:54
Speaker 2: one Washington, d C. Family and they say it's been
12:56
Speaker 2: happening more than hundreds of times over the past six months.
13:01
Speaker 2: A resident identified only as Britney says that the deliveries
13:05
Speaker 2: were meant for the Arlow Hotel, which is about a
13:08
Speaker 2: mile away. She believes the guests are ordering through Amazon,
13:11
Speaker 2: mistakenly clicking her address instead on Amazon's list of delivery options.
13:16
Speaker 2: She says her home pops up just before the hotels.
13:20
Speaker 2: She says, we received everything from cat food to vitamin supplements,
13:25
Speaker 2: even a chainsaw. Even a chainsaw. Luckily, that guest came
13:31
Speaker 2: to pick it up and they said we didn't answer questions.
13:35
Speaker 2: We didn't even answer the door on the chainsaw. I mean,
13:38
Speaker 2: it's a chainsaw. It doesn't make them a villain in
13:42
Speaker 2: a horror movie. They just wanted a chainsaw. They need
13:44
Speaker 2: to cut something up a tree, hopefully. Britney says the
13:49
Speaker 2: confusion may come down to a single letter difference between
13:51
Speaker 2: her address and the hotels, but the mix up have
13:53
Speaker 2: led to late night knocks on her door, which she
13:55
Speaker 2: says is tough when she has a child at home.
13:58
Speaker 2: Amazon says it's invested gating the issue and trying to
14:03
Speaker 2: work on a fix for it. Yeah, that seems like
14:07
Speaker 2: that should be that should be taken care of. That's
14:10
Speaker 2: rough when you've got a kid at home. I mean,
14:14
Speaker 2: it's very difficult, isn't it. I mean, and I think
14:19
Speaker 2: the thing with the chainsaw. Let's be honest here. The
14:23
Speaker 2: chainsaw is one of those things that I know what,
14:27
Speaker 2: maybe you're uncomfortable that somebody bought it, but let's give
14:30
Speaker 2: them the benefit of the doubt. Chainsaws do have a
14:32
Speaker 2: specific purpose. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State
14:35
Speaker 2: Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the
14:41

Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
15:30
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
15:32
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia. You think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
15:36
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens

15:56
Speaker 2: Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
15:59
Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
16:04
Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
16:06
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night
16:08
Speaker 2: events also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As
16:13
Speaker 2: Sean Crusan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I
16:18
Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
16:21
Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
16:26
Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
16:29
Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
16:35
Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
16:38
Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
16:42
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
16:46
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
16:49
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
16:51
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
16:55
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
16:58
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
17:00
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
17:03
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
17:07
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
17:10
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
17:14
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
17:17
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
17:20
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
17:22
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
17:26
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like
17:29
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
17:31
Speaker 2: you just want a little man caved you'd like to
17:33
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
17:35
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
17:38
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
17:41
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
17:43
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
17:46
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
17:50
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thorty five eight forty five

Speaker 2: hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred
17:56
Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show Right
18:00
Speaker 2: after the break. A survey by badcredit dot org found
18:12
Speaker 2: that more than one hundred and ten million Americans admit
18:16
Speaker 2: to regifting or reselling unwanted presents. Number seems low. The
18:24
Speaker 2: state with the most regifting is Rhode Island, where eighty
18:27
Speaker 2: three percent say that they have no issues with dumping
18:29
Speaker 2: and wanted gifts on someone else. Behind Rhode Island is Nevada,
18:35
Speaker 2: New York, Arizona, and Utah, So if you are planning
18:41
Speaker 2: to offload on wanted gifts, you should know. The survey
18:44
Speaker 2: also found forty eight percent of people have been caught
18:46
Speaker 2: regifting or selling a gift, So just know it comes
18:52
Speaker 2: at a potential cost. Right, there is a possibility that
18:57
Speaker 2: is going to be the case. H Buddy the Elf
19:02
Speaker 2: told us that the best way to spread Christmas cheer
19:05
Speaker 2: is singing loud for all to hear. Study found that
19:08
Speaker 2: singing Christmas carols together isn't just a great holiday tradition.
19:11
Speaker 2: It actually is good for you singing, especially with other people.
19:17
Speaker 2: Releases feel good hormones helps you bond with people and
19:21
Speaker 2: lifts your spirits. We could all use some of that.
19:24
Speaker 2: So yeah, enjoy the Christmas music, even if that means,
19:28
Speaker 2: you know, just trying to get other people to break
19:32
Speaker 2: out in songs. Say hey, it's good for us. Let's
19:34
Speaker 2: all sing together. Instead of going big on one pricey present,
19:39
Speaker 2: lots of people are opting for a handful of smaller,
19:41
Speaker 2: more thoughtful mini gifts. A survey found twenty two percent
19:44
Speaker 2: of respondents say that they're choosing to give micro gifts
19:47
Speaker 2: this year, so cozy socks, chocolates, candles, bath goodies. Gen
19:53
Speaker 2: Z especially is embracing the trend thirty six percent choosing
19:56
Speaker 2: this gift giving style. Nearly half of people think, I
20:00
Speaker 2: think it's the perfect way to stay on budget while
20:02
Speaker 2: still delivering meaningful surprises. Thirty six percent say shopping this
20:07
Speaker 2: way just feels more festive. Seventeen percent said they would
20:11
Speaker 2: much rather unwrap a bundle of cute little treats than
20:15
Speaker 2: just one splurge item, So keep that in mind. Let's
20:21
Speaker 2: talk eggnog. It's everywhere as it should be, spice, spiked, flavored,
20:26
Speaker 2: and more. I've got a friend who makes really really
20:28
Speaker 2: good spiked eggnog and maybe even spiced. I don't know
20:32
Speaker 2: what he only puts in there. I just know it's tasty.
20:36
Speaker 2: But while it may be synonymous with the season, it's
20:39
Speaker 2: not universally loved. According to Yugov poll, twenty three percent
20:43
Speaker 2: say they love it, thirty two percent say they like it,
20:46
Speaker 2: seventeen percent hate it, sixteen percent just dislike it. Eggnog
20:51
Speaker 2: dates back to medieval times. Did you know then? It
20:56
Speaker 2: was called posset, and it was made with sweetened and
20:58
Speaker 2: spiced milk, curdled with a or wine, and served hot.
21:02
Speaker 2: Monks in the thirteenth century enjoyed this mixture with additional
21:05
Speaker 2: eggs and figs. So is it bad for you? That's
21:10
Speaker 2: one of the things that people wonder this time of year. Well,
21:15
Speaker 2: not totally. Some of your favorite holiday indulgences are not
21:21
Speaker 2: always healthy, but that's why you kind of only enjoy
21:24
Speaker 2: them seasonally and not all year long. Right, So, eggnog, eggs, cream, milk, sugar, spices.
21:33
Speaker 2: It can taste rich and delicious, but has enough fat,
21:36
Speaker 2: calories and clusterol for all twelve days of Christmas, right,
21:40
Speaker 2: it's the holidays though, so focus on the good stuff.
21:43
Speaker 2: Believe it or not. Eggnog does in fact have some
21:47
Speaker 2: health benefits. It's loaded with dairy, so it gives you calcium, potassium, protein,
21:52
Speaker 2: vitamins A and D, and the eggs provide protein, so
21:58
Speaker 2: you know, kind of good for you. Right. If you
22:03
Speaker 2: had alcohol and spike it, then that's different. But you know,
22:06
Speaker 2: that's another conversation for another time. So just look for
22:10
Speaker 2: the positives in it, you know, I know, it's not
22:13
Speaker 2: really okay anymore. To quote Bill Cosby, remember the how
22:17
Speaker 2: you could eat chocolate cake for breakfast because eggs are
22:19
Speaker 2: in chocolate cake milk, so you kind of have to
22:24
Speaker 2: figure out how to navigate it. Right. Like most things,
22:28
Speaker 2: It's a Wonderful Life was a flop when it came
22:30
Speaker 2: out in nineteen forty six. The movie's copyright holder forgot
22:34
Speaker 2: to file the renewal, so the movie went into public domain.
22:38
Speaker 2: In nineteen seventy four, TV networks were able to air
22:44
Speaker 2: it for free and it became a Christmas classic. It
22:46
Speaker 2: was licensed again in the nineties. That's interesting, isn't it
22:52
Speaker 2: That it was a flop and it kind of found
22:55
Speaker 2: its audience by being able to airit for free, and
22:57
Speaker 2: that's why it was you know maybe in child that
23:00
Speaker 2: it was aired on multiple channels in different places. But
23:05
Speaker 2: it was filmed in the summertime nineteen forty six and
23:08
Speaker 2: they had to shut down production because that was a
23:11
Speaker 2: year that had a lot of heat waves. Interesting stuff.
23:15
Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Friday edition of the show.
