• 0:06
  Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Morning Show Monday morning, second day of June. My name
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: is Wes. Thanks for joining me here. We are month
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: of June, not just month of June. Second day of June,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: which happens to be the eightieth birthday of my father.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: So if you see him today, wish him a happy birthday.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: By all means, if you know him well enough to
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: text him. He's not the best text He tries, he
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: really does. He tries get lots of lols in text
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: messages from him that he thinks means lots of love. Comically,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: in those moments where he'll say, like, you know, so
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: and so's really sick, thought i'd let you know. Loll see,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: he doesn't know. I think he now knows. He still
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: goes with it though. I think he's just insisted, no,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: this is what this is going to mean for me.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: So this is what it means, and you know he's
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: just kind of run with it. Good for him. I
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: don't like this idea that people can just take things
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: from us. I did a whole segment on the radio
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: once it became almost like a battle cry for some
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I heard. It was one of the just what I
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: thought was just random things I talked about one day
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: on the radio that people messaged me, sit be texts,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: emailed me. I heard from more people about that sort
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: of just random thing. Now, there were other important things
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: that we talked about that were, you know, different. Doing
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: thirteen consecutive NonStop, commercial free hours of hurricane coverage got
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: us a lot of calls and emails. I'm not comparing
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: it to that. That's different because that was like a
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: marathon and led to a Gabby Award and co Broadcaster
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: of the Year from the Gabbys. But that's different. This
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: was just one of those things that you just kind
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: of think is just a regular old show, conversation show topic,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: and then it turned into a thing. And it was
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: specifically about I'm getting a little lot because I'm going
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: to get to a topic in a second. But we
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: were talking about this idea that people were putting saying
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: the OK sign with your hand if you threw up
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the OK sign, there were people saying that that stood
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: for white power, right, and because if you make the
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: OK sign with your hand, you got the three fingers up,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: which could be confused for a w if you didn't
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: know what the ok symbol meant, maybe you would think
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: that and then the finger and the thumb closed coming
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: down your hand would make the P. Now there's a
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: lot of I think there's some black fraternities who use
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: this symbol. There's that game that people would play where
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: they'd say, hey, if you look at it, and then
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: you get punched. But most commonly, I think many around
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the world recognize it to mean okay. So my question
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: on this particular show was why would we let somebody
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: just take it away from us, you know, by saying
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: if someone did the okay sign, they must be showing
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: white power. I think there was a story there was
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: a guy maybe at the Army Navy game or something,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: and they showed him on the sidelines. It was a
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: group of military guys and one of them did that
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: symbol on TV, and people said, ah, this is just
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: showing how a racist we are under this Trump presidency.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: They're throwing this white power sign anyway, So I understand that,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: like I don't understand why anybody would like not still
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: appreciate a rainbow just because there's been a group of
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: people who said the rainbow is hours now. I don't
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: understand that. I don't understand how the rainbow, which has
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: been a symbol of you know, promise and covenant and
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: all these things, it's a complete circle, and you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: it's biblical. It goes back to very early times, very
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: very early times, and you know, then all of a sudden,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: somebody says, no, no, that's ours, you can't have it. Or
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: you know, in the early days of the country, when
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: you know, the founders supported this notion of don't tread
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: on me and that kind of stuff, and people say,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: oh my goodness, that gets in flag. That means that's
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: a symbol of racist groups. Anything that you don't like,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: you can just take it away by saying that it
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: makes you racist. That's the way it used to be.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know that it's still that way anymore. Things
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: have changed quite a bit, haven't they. Amazingly just in
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the last seven months, or obviously just before the election,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: there were enough people that woke up to problems. But anyway,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: so yeah, I think if my dad wants to let
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: that be, if that's what he thought it meant, he's
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: not going to let other people take it away from him.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: So good for him. So anyway, if you see him today,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: tell him happy birthday. That's all I'm telling you. A
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: couple things I want to talk speaking of the way
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: things have changed in the last seven months. We had
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: this whole thing with Bruce Springsteen and Trump and apparently
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Springsteen out of the country and the UK or whatever
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: telling them how much are awful our president is and
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: all these sorts of things. And I guess there's some
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: shock that there seems to be an economic backlash here
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: in the States. And now one of my favorites, Bono
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: from You two, is taking Springsteen's side, and he went
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: on Jimmy Kimmel's show and took the easy, low hanging
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: fruit of saying things to that audience and Kimmel and
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: got some applause for it. But the rest of the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: country is not on board with all of this. And
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I you know, there's a couple of things that are
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: happening there. An American going to another country and bad
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: mouthing our president traditionally was frowned upon. The Dixie Chicks
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: did it. They suffered some a lot of backlash for that.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Do they still going? That might have been the end
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: for them, which actually has a funny story for me.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I was at a Dixie Chick show backstage with the
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: opening act talking to them, and the Dixie Chicks the
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: way that they part of how they had to do
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: the act to get them. They were doing a show
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: like in the round, but they also for security reasons,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: they had to put them in these boxes and roll
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: them out to the stage and then let them out,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: and they rolled right past us. So I was like,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: right there, they were just in the boxes, that's all.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: But anyway, that used to be a thing. You don't
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: do that. You don't go overseas and badmouth the president
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: in front of a big audience of people. But Springsteen
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: decided to do that. And he's certainly with an right,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: so he can do that, I guess if he wants.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: And then but it's again, you're going to see some backlash.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: You have freedom of speech, just there's not a freedom
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: from consequences. Well, then Bono comes to the States and
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: says some things about Trump to an audience that's different.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: He's not an American, but he's also been an advocate
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: for a lot of things, and he's he's bragged and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: talked about the importance of working with leaders, even the
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: ones that you may be politically disagree with. I'm a
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: big U two fan I am. I've been criticized for
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: that more and more lately by people who don't understand
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: his politics. And I've said this many times. I don't
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: need I don't want to hear his politics. I don't
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: want to hear Springsteen's politics. I like Springsteen's music. I
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: like their music, both of them, but don't need to
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: hear their politics. So I guess they shouldn't be surprised
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: when there's this kickback, there's this resistance to the message,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and it could be financial. Just look at Budweiser. Just
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: talk to the folks at Anheuser Busch and see how
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: that all plays out in the long run. So there's that,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: and then I want to I want to talk a
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: little bit about Elon Musk because now that he is,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: you know, left Doge, moving on getting back to his business.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I think it's been an interesting thing to say as
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: far as what Elon Musk did for free. Keep in mind,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: this whole Doge thing wasn't something that there was like
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: a position that they were getting paid for it. They
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: came in, they decided to cut a lot of excess
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: spending and ultimately to benefit the taxpayer, to benefit Americans,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: to change the way that the country did business in
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: a lot of ways, waste, just cleaning up a lot
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: of waste. So as that has happened, and we've seen
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: changes in you know, just a number of things. I
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: mean changes in immigration and border security, obviously cutting these
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: ridiculous things that are happening overseas, you know, paying for sex,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: changes for monkeys or lizards or whatever they were doing,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know, testing to see if a lizard could
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: dance if it was listening to music from a trans musician.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, I made that one up, but if it
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: was one, you would believe it. That's how ridiculous it
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: all was. Right, So with him departing and getting back
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to his businesses, some of the damage is done. Like
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: there's things that aren't going to undo I think for
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Elon Musk, now, this stuff all started for him long
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: before he was a dedicated Trump supporter. It was before
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: or he got into doge and started disrupting the money flow,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: the cash cow for a lot of politicians and their friends,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: their donors and supporters. Behind the scenes. It started when
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: he started making a stand for free speech, and he
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: started to call Twitter for what it was, which was
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: censoring views from people on the right. And we know
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: that that's what Twitter was. So you know when you
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: have the money that Elon Musk has and you say, well,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to buy it, and then he did,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: and people lost their minds. They couldn't believe that someone
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: was taking away this thing that they had, which was
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: their sacred thing that they could use to suppress views
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: of people on the right. They would stop you from
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: being able to make an argument or a case for
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: anybody on the right because they wanted that control of
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: this flow of information through this precious thing. Right, this
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: is the ring, This is the ring. It's my precious.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: And they said, you can't take away my precious and
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: he did. He bought it, and they hated him for it.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I knew people as that was happening, friends who would
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: say things to me about this guy who had managed
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: to do what not many people could have done with
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: electric cars, this guy who would eventually be working on Hey,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: we're going to work on neurology improvements with this chip
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: that we're going to put in people, and we're going
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: to help people eventually walk that can't currently walk, and
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: we're going to help people with brain function and things
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: with this chip. All these things that they're trying to do,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: and they've made progress with a guy who his space
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: company SpaceX is launching rockets and then reusing the boosters
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: and not just letting them fall into the ocean and
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: rust away. And sustainability and keeping costs down. All the
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: things that he's able to do for his company and
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: really for the planet, whether it's electric cars, whether it's
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: helping people with neurology problems with their brain, their spinal cords,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: whether it is sustainability in general, which is also pro environment,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, and putting satellites in space that people around
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: the world can use for communications. Now some for profits, certainly,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: but there are parts of the world that don't have
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: the ability to connect to the Internet without starlink. There
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: are people that have gone through fires and hurricanes and
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: natural disasters that had no means of communicating with anyone,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: and he's showing up with free starlink for people so
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: that they can communicate. This is a guy that they
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: just went after and they started going after him about
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Twitter and I had people he's just so weird, weird.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I had someone say that to me a friend. I
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: was sitting in her living room and she said to me,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: he's just so weird. And I said, then, I think
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: the words you're looking for is autistics. He doesn't have autism.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Yes he does, And if you want to say that
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: he's weird, that say that he's weird, if that's what
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: you want. But understand, that's what's weird about him. It
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: is a quirkiness. There's an odd social component to him
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: that can be attributed to his autism. He's talked about it.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: But if you're going to do it, and you're gonna
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: you're gonna say he's weird and that you don't like
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: him because he's weird, then you need to say the
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: thing that we all need to hear, you say you
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: don't like him because he's autistic. Now understand, this is
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: before Trump. This isn't associating it specifically with politics, because
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: at the time, yes, he was standing up for free
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: speech for people on the right, but he wasn't saying
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: I'm a Republican and I'm voting Republican. So then you
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: jump to the other things you start getting into. Okay,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: he says the left has gone so far left that
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: it's you know, the line has moved, and now he's
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: found himself in the same place, but now he seems
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: to be on the right of center. And then people
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: really start to lose their minds, and it's gotten to
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: the point now where politically they see him as you know, Hitler.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: As he got on stage and he threw an awkward wave,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: he put his hand on his heart and put his
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: hand out and something we've seen politicians on both sides
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: do similarly. But for musk Oh, he is Hitler. He's
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: a fascist, he is a Nazi. He's Hitler.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: He's horrible.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: People were attacking cars and car dealerships and scratching up
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: cars purchased by Democrats. When people were buying Tesla's, they
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: were Democrats because they loved the fact that this was
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: an electric car and they could get their hands on it,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: and they were like, we're going to support this company.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: So people would see them and scratch them all up. Now, yes,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there are many people on the right now
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: that are buying them to help support his company. But
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I had another experience with someone over the weekend who
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: basically came up to me and said, what do you
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: think about Elon Musk? And he keeps blowing up his
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: rockets and he's a failure. And they made this face
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: at me where they stuck their tongue out and we're
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: like eh, And I said, Eh, that's what they're going
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: to tell you on the news. That's what they're going
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: to tell you in places where they don't understand the
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: way SpaceX works as a company, which by the way,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: is primarily run by a woman. Elon Musk. Yes, he's
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: the CEO, but the COO is a woman, a very
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: successful engineer, Gwen shot, Well, she runs the company. I mean,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: this is her vision. She's the chief operating officer. Yes
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: he is Elon Musk, but he's been doing doge and
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: he's been running other companies, and she's the one who's
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: been launching rockets that have been blowing up. But before
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: we focus too much on the blowing up of the rockets,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: let's talk about agile development, because that's the reason that
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: you see a company like SpaceX launch a rocket that
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: blows up, and then they go, Okay, we'll make some adjustments.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Now let's launch another one, and if it blows up,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: they say Okay, well we kind of thought that might happen.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: We're gonna make some more notes and we're going to
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: launch again. So in this most recent launch back on
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: the twenty seventh, a week ago almost we basically saw
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: that it blew up, and everybody said, oh, it was
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: a failure. The Starship craft. They lost it, and they
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: had the the rud the rapid unscheduled disassembly, and they
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: had some issues with they were trying to do suborbital
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: objectives that they had they weren't able to successfully do.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: They failed to launch some more Starlink satellites. What you're
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: not hearing on the news, And this is what I
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: had to tell this person who looked very disappointed and
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: disgusted that I was telling them that there were some
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: positives from it because of this agile development strategy. They
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: it was a reflight for this super heavy the super
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: heavy booster the B fourteen first reused successfully performing boost
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: backburn and it did its first directional flip. Yes, that happened.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: They did get to plan velocity with Starship successfully really
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: reached velocity in space, and this was their first for
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: their Block View two ship. Yes, that's a win engine
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: reignition successfully reignited. It's thirty three raptor engines during the
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: boost backburn, which is good for sustainability and all the
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: environmental stuff. And they had data on the reusable booster
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: and the heat shield. They had wins. They had more
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: wins than losses, but of course it's reported as they
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: blew up. Seawan Cruisin and I doctor Seawan Crusin from
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: the Columbus State University co Cola Space Science Center. We
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: talk great length about this and other things on this
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: past Thursday's episode of the Mate of Stars podcast, And
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: if this kind of stuff is fun to you, you
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: could check us out wherever you're listening to this podcast.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: It's called mat of Stars. But the point is you
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: can't let your politics dictate everything about a person, or
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: you can. I mean, that's what we tend to do.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: And we look for those cheap little liners. We look
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: for those cheap little opportunities to take shots. He's weird,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Elon is weird he keeps blowing up his rocket or
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm gonna go on Jimmy Kimmel and I'm
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: gonna make some cracks about Donald Trump, which the kind
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: of jokes that they make are low hanging fruit. That's
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: what it is. I think the line Bono had was
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: there's only one boss in America. Okay, that's lame. Come on, Bono,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: you're better than that. You're a skilled, gifted songwriter, you're
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: a poet, You're better than that. That's not a good line.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: That's probably somebody else's line. I'm sure it's been used
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: a hundred times since this blow up between Trump and Springsteen, which,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: by the way, I think Trump is I mean, he
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: still takes his little jabs maybe, but he moves on.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: He's got other stuff to do, plenty of other things
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: to do. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State

  Speaker 2: brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: you have regular maintenance that it's time for It's always

  Speaker 2: of Columbus can take care of square and that away
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: for you, and while they're there, you can always ask
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: you need some repair work done to the outside door.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: can do that for you. As well, and again they
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: and they do those as well. Seven oh six thy

  Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show right after the break. All right, So
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, maybe we were talking about
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: this resort where you go and you have to turn
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: over your electronic devices. They want to take those from you,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: and it cuts you off from the digital world, and
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: that has had a bit of a growing sentiment. Some
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: people maybe gave up, you know, getting online, maybe not
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: necessarily their phones, but getting online for lent and those
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: kinds of things. That's been popular in the past few years.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: In some cases, well how about you know, the occasional
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: dropout of it by a club membership. There's a club
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: started to Amsterdam in twenty twenty four. It's called the
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Offline Club, and it's a movement about ditching screens and
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: rediscovering real life connections. People get together for dinner activities,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: like painting and doing puzzles, playing games, and basically the
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: idea is you unplug, you relax, and you connect with
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: like minded people. It's a nice thought.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: You could always just go for a hike and leave
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: your phone in your pocket. I mean, that's an option.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Go with some friends and do that, but there is
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: usually typically that one friend that's probably gonna break the
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: phone out and ruin the whole vibe.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Portugal is having a moment as more and more Americans
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: are choosing to go to Portugal as a vacation destination.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Not only that, many are actually choosing to stay there permanently,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: I guess. According to a new survey from travel company
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: ex Patsy ex Patsy seeing Expats, Portugal tops the list
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: for a Marria looking to move out of the country.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: It might have been Ireland and then Rosie O'Donnell moved there.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Just made that up. The site is a mix of
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: sunny weather, affordable living, welcoming culture, laid back lifestyle that's
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: hard to beat. Other top picks for expats include Spain,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: the UK, Canada, and Italy. Sixty one percent of those
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: poles said they're seeking adventure and a better quality of life.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: A British woman suspected that her husband could be cheating
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: on her and ultimately confirmed her suspicions by looking at
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: his tech. But it wasn't his phone or computer, it
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: was his electric toothbrush. She checked the Companion app for
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: her husband's toothbrush and noticed an unusual trend. He was
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: brushing his teeth at odd times of the day, like
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: when he was supposed to be at work. Uh oh.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: There were also times when she was at work and
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: the kids were at school, so no one would have
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: been home and that kind of would point to something's fishy. Also,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: many Fridays with the app logged his brushing during the
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: day when he was supposedly at the office, So she
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: finally confronted him and asked him about his toothbrushing log.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: At first, he denied being home at those times, but
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: then she discovered that her husband actually had not worked
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: in the office on Fridays for several months. After some interrogation,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: he finally admitted to having an affair with a colleague
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: at their home on Fridays. Not something that you think
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: is gonna dip you in the old toothbrush, I mean,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: how many relationships have been ended because a toothbrush righted
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: J Belle. How about that. Beer industry insiders say non
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: alcoholic beer is on its way to becoming the second
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: biggest beer category and will soon be out selling ale.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Many big beer companies have rolled out non alcoholic versions
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: to fill the need created by younger drinkers who were
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: leaning into sober, curious, and damp lifestyle trends. When non
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: alcoholic beer might be the biggest second biggest category, it
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: will never be the biggest considering and overwhelming. Ninety two
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: percent of all beer consumed is logger. So the German
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: company a Rine Metal has developed a breakthrough in electronic
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: cars that involves level two charging boxes built directly into
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: curbs on the side of the street. The current design
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: doesn't have a cable included, so drivers will need to
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: travel with their own, but being able to plug in
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: right at the curb seems a lot more convenient than
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: searching out and waiting at standalone charging stations in target
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: parking lots. I Guess and Ground Control Robotics is a
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: company that develops machines to help farmers grow crops. One
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: of the breakthroughs is a giant centipede robot that collects
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: data and removes weeds on farm lands, specifically bumpy farmland.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Engineers inspired by the Cree Crawley creatures or maybe the
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: old Fantastic video game in the Animal Kingdom, give this
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: thing many legs, and they say it helps it stay
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: stable and reliable while taking care of business in those
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: bumpy fields. The hope is that the centipede robot can
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: pull weeds under difficult plants like blueberries or strawberries, so
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: farmers can reduce the cost of having harvesting those crops
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: and having to deal with all the weeds involved. So
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: pretty good stuff there, all right. That'll do it for
• 28:28
