  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, eighth, the day of August. I'm west thanks
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: for joining me. We are just really a few weeks
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: now away from dragon Con. Three weeks basically Labor Day
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: weekend in downtown Atlanta. I guess things kind of start
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: getting going really on Wednesday, before Labor Day. It's not
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: an official day of dragon Con, things really start to happen,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: some of it even Tuesday. Just being honest, it's become
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: like a full week long event. Don't feel overwhelmed, though.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: If you're thinking of going, you don't have to go
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: for all of those days. You don't have to go.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: If you're planning to attend dragon Con for really anything
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: more than a day, you can go for one day
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: and you can fit a lot in in a day. Now,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: if you want to go the entire weekend, you have
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: to be very strategic in booking your accommodations. You should
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: start planning for next year as soon as Labor Day
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: is finished, and just start making the plans. You can't
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: most of the host hotels you can't book right away,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: but you can get your plan in place at the
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: very least, or you can start looking at other hotels
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: that are nearby. There are some spillover hotels that are
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: taking sometimes special rates as well, and there's opportunities to
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: do that. So if you are thinking of attending the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: convention but you're not quite sold on exactly which day
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: to go or what you want to go see, some
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: of that we will cover with this year's dragon Con
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: pregame Show that happens on the twenty third and twenty
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: fourth of August. Radio stations around the state of Georgia
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: about two hundred stations plus. We will have the Dragon
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Con Pregame Show podcast. In it, we'll talk about some
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: of the things that you need to know. The parade,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: for example, big topic of conversation for dragon Con. Go
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: on Saturday. You watch the parade, and then you go
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: and you can check out a lot of stuff at
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the convention. The parade is also a good time to
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: kind of check out some of the things that maybe
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: will have a longer line if you're trying to get
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: into the vendor area and that sometimes has a huge line, well,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: it will have a really huge line immediately following the parade.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: So if you'd like to go when the parade is
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: going on, for example, see these are insider tips that
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I can give you to help you have the kind
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: of dragon Con you want to have. Now, maybe you
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: want to see the parade, and the parade's fantastic. It's
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: one of the best parades that you can see in
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the Southeast anywhere. And it really I mean, if you
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: want to talk about Marty Gras, you want to talk
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: about Saint Patrick's Day in Savannah, there's a handful of
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: other parades that happen. I know they're all big deal,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: but to see this many people in character in the
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Georgia heat walking through downtown Atlanta is really quite remarkable
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: and it's something you need to experience at least once
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: in life. You know, there's things you just need to
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: experience just once. This is one of those things. And
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: we will talk about all of that on the dragon
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Con Pregame Show and the DragonCon Pregame Show podcast. We
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: got past episodes of that going back to I think
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: twenty eleven something like that. Most of those are there.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: You can check out interviews with some now recently passed icons.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Lonnie Anderson comes to mind. I've got an interview with
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: her on there you can check out, and some that
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: have passed away since my interviews, it would Earnest Borg
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: nine and others, and I just encourage you to go
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: back check them out. You can hear some of the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: conversation topics, some of the basically some are timeless. Some
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: of the interviews will live on forever. Some you know
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: you're kind of hearing them, little time capsule and things,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: but it gives you an idea of what some of
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the guests are like that will attend the convention, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: you can get ready. I saw just I guess yesterday
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Dave Boorannas and others from the show Bones announced and
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: it's pretty exciting. I know a lot of people that
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: are fans of the show Bones, so that'll be another
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: group that will be there. They kind of book guests
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: in groups, and there's a good Star Wars contingency that
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: will be there this year as well, so that's not
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: always been the case. They kind of go in waves
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: where they've got different fandoms that are represented, so pretty
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: good stuff. There long list of guests on their website
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: DragonCon dot org, and you can check out past episodes
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: of the dragon Con pregame show some of those winners
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: at the Gabby Awards over the years. And I've just
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: really enjoyed covering this convention now for almost twenty five years.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I'm coming up on twenty five next year, so I
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: have to come up with something special to do. Thanks
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: to our sponsor for our coverage, Columbus State University's Coca
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and in a few weeks that
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: week of dragon Con. And this isn't really Dragon Con
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: pregame show, but there is a little pregame component to it.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Les Johnson who works at the Marshall. He's the chief technologist,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: so when I say he works there, he's kind of
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: a big deal at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: And Sean Cruisin and I, who do the Mate of
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Stars podcast together, talked with him today. We recorded an
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: interview with him for the week of dragon Con. I
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: think we're going to release it on the Tuesday before
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Labor Day, so to be like a full week before
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Labor Day kind of. I'll give you a chance to
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: check that out or interview with him. That'll be that
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: week's episode of Made of Stars. And we talked to
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: him about science and science fiction. And that's one of
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the reasons that the Coca Cola Space Science Center sponsors
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: are dragon Con coverage. There is a direct correlation. It's symbiotic,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: that relationship between science and science fiction. Once upon a
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: time you would go their science and then their science fiction. Well,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Les Johnson is a science fiction writer, very accomplished writer
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: at that, and he does both. You know, he works
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: at NASA and then he also writes science fiction books.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: So if that doesn't tell you that there's a connection there.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: And he will be at dragon Con this year with
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: some of the science tracks, talking with folks there about
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: actual science and then also talking about some of his
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: books and things that are coming up. So get ready
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: for that and again both of those podcasts wherever you're
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: listening to this show. All right, it's Friday. Let's get
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: into some good news, as we like to start our
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Fridays with good news first and foremost. This is a
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: good story Buffalo Bill's football team. You know, the teams
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: are all getting into their preseason swing, and the Bills,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: of course one of those teams. They lost the four
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Super Bowls in a row. There's been high hopes for
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: them over the past few seasons, everybody keeps thinking they're
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: finally going to get over the hump, and then something
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: goes wrong and they're so close. What are something positive
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: that the team is doing is they're now in preparation
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: for the new football season and trying to live up
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: to the hype and expectations for them. And you know,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: you get some good karma out there if you're want
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: of those believers in that. Maybe that's what they're doing.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe they're just doing something nice. I
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: like to think of that. So the charity organization behind
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the team basically put together a donation of more than
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty seven thousand dollars to fund summer
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: meals for area kids in Buffalo. So they basically gave
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: the kids a chance to meet some of the players
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: at training camp back on Monday, and while they were there,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: the children received free backpacks and water bottles. Before they left,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: the one hundred and sixty seven thousand dollars check was presented,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: which will go a long way towards the No Kid
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Hungry New York that will be providing lunches, school lunches,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: and different organizations in rural areas providing free summer meals
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: to kids a nice way to close out the summer
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: right and Rachel Sabella, director of No Kid Hungry New York, says,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: this event is more than a day at training camp.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: It's a powerful statement about what's possible when communities come
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: together support children nicely done. You know, I don't know
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: if this means they get over that hump and get
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl or win a super Bowl finally,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: but if they do, we can maybe look back to
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: this moment and think, See, they put good things out there,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: and good things happen. Let's do one more around the world,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: only in theaters for a limited time, Cat Video Fest
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: has returned. The event, which is a seventy five minute
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Greatest Hits reel of cat video is projected on the
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: big screen, has been around since twenty sixteen and has
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: grown quite a bit. It's now on five hundred screens
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: in the US and Canada. Last year, Cat Video Fest
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: grows more than a million dollars, and through the years
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: it's raised hundreds of thousands to support rescue shelters. Many
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: theaters partner with organizations to courage moviegoers to adopt or
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: foster cats. This year's collection of cat magic hits theaters.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Anyone interested in an afternoon of pure cat bliss, and
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: anyone interested in helping cats in me encouraged to check
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: for local listings. I don't know of us having any
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: here in the Chattahoochee Valley, but wherever you're listening, check
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: and see if they're I don't know, maybe that is listed.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I didn't see it. But let's check for local listings.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: See if the festival of Fun is coming to your hometown.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: But doing good things and taking care of cats. You know,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I've told you before I am a dog guy, but
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I got nothing against cats. All right, let's get into
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: some strange and bizarre I do like cats. Set it
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: that way. That was so dismissive. I like cats. I've
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: had cats in my life. We had a number of
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: cats when I was growing up. I'm just a dog guy. Now,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: all right, strange and bizarre news from around the world,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: and we'll transition from cats to rats, or at least
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: a really big rat. A British family has basically been
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: given a sign it's time to move out of their
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: home in New Yorkshire. The family discovered that they had
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is like rodents of unusual size from
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: the Prince's Bride type rat. They called in pest control
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: to trap this rodent, and when the worker captured the
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: two foot long rat that was yes about the size
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: of a cat, local councilors shared a photo of the
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: monster and warned that the rat problem in the area
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: was getting out of control. You think, they say this
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: wasn't just a one off, but a sign of a
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: growing infestation issue across the borough. They're calling for a
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: full vermin plant to battle the problem had on before
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: more residents encounter these massive home intruders. You gotta wait
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: for the flame right to come up out of the ground.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: That's what you gotta do. You hear the noise. Anyway,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: it's been a minute since I watched the movie. I
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: can't remember what the flames are called, all right. A
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Minnesota woman who was arrested for auto theft after cops
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: read her diary, turns out will avoid jail time. This
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: is a follow up story for us. Let's go back
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: to when we had this story. Vanessa Guerrera was accused
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: of stealing a Ford van about a year ago and
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: then selling it for scrap. At first, she denied it
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: and then later, during a search of her home, police
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: found a personal journal belonging to her, which included an
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: entry where she wrote, totally stole a car today, something
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I never thought of doing. Super freaking out about it.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Prosecutors use this as an admission of guilt, and Gera
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: took the plea deal. She had been looking it up
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: to five years in jail, but a judge said last
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: week it was decided he would take it easy on
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: her sentenced her to three years on probation. She was
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: ordered to pay four hundred and fifty four dollars fine
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: and barred from possessing alcohol, drugs, AMMA or explosives. She
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: will also be subject to unannounced searches. Maybe she could
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: move to the house that it has the giant rat
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: and then when they do the searches, they could also,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: you know, look for rats. Traffic came to a sizzling
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: standstill in Pennsylvania on Interstate eighty three after a thousand
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: hot dogs spilled across the highway. A multi vehicle crash,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: which involved a tractor trailer loaded with frozen hot dogs,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: shut down a portion of the interstate for hours. Four
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: people were taken to the hospital with injuries. The cleanup
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: took a long time because thousands of hot dogs were
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: scattered across the road and it was quite a mess.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: The greasy residue left on the pavement made the cleanup
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: more difficult. The road remained closed for about seven hours
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: before traffic was finally allowed to resume. You know, you
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: get seven or eight of those guys, the Joey Chestnuts
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: and those guys that come in and compete in those
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: hot dog eating competitions, they could have cleaned that thing
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: up in you know, twenty minutes. I mean, how many
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: hot dogs are we talking about. These guys seriously can
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: eat hot dogs at a very rapid rate. Why not
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: at least bring them in as experts. Just give them
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to show what they can do. I mean,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: we've seen what they can do. We know what they're
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: capable of, So why not bring them in, give them
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: the water, Right, they get the water and then they
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: dip the There's no buns involved, I guess, but still
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: they would definitely have an opportunity come in, clean it up,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: eat it up, move on, and they just be training.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: They could write the whole thing off. That's just my
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: thoughts on it. And finally, an Ohio woman has chosen
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: a clever method of revenge against a car dealership that
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: repossessed her vehicle even though she had been approved for
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: a loan. Tim McCreary bought a twenty twenty two Kia
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: kfive from Taylor Kia of Lima in February of twenty
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: twenty four. She was approved for a loan and then
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: drove off a lot, but a month later, the dealership
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: repossessed the car while she was at work and said
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: the financing fell through. McCreary wasn't having it, so she
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: got to work on her revenge, did a little research,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: did a little digging, and discovered the dealership. It let
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: its registration for the name Taylor Kea of Lima expire
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: and they never reregistered it, so she registered it herself.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: She then sent a cease and assist letter to the
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: dealership telling them they could no longer do business under
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: the name without her consent. That battle has now gone
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: to court, McCreary suing the dealership and the lender, claiming
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: fraud and violations of consumer protection laws. The dealership tried
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: to push the case to arbitration, but an appeals court
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: sent it back to trial court. It could for her.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know anything about what's going on with the loan.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know anything about the lender. All I know
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: is this is a clever person. This is the kind
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: of person that you don't want to upset and make mad.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: That's what you don't want to do, because they realize
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: there's more than one way to come back at you.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: It's not just the most direct thing hit you where
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: it really hurts. So I say good for you, Tia.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca

  Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: events also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Shaan Crusen says, Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org. I
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of your
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thorty five eight forty five
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: o dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: after the break, South Florida's battle I guess invasive Burmese
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: pythons is getting very serious. The pythons have read the
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: local ecosystem because they breed rapidly and compete for food
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: with many native animals, including mammals, birds, iguanas, and alligators.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Snake hunters are there using solar powered remote control robot
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: rabbits to lure pythons out of their hiding for easier capture.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: The robot rabbits are equipped with cameras to monitor the
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: movements of the pythons and alert officials once they are detected.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Let's keep the robot rabbits in check, because once they
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: get any form of artificial intelligence or in trouble. I've
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: said many times before my concern with AI is when
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: we start producing anything that has AI that can self replicate. Right,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: you've heard me talk about this. If you get some
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: sort of machine that can reproduce it and it has
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: artificial intelligence, that's when we're done. What more clever way.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: It is a little scary than putting it in a rabbit.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: You know, you know what they're known for. I mean,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: they're known for eating carrots, but they don't really eat carrots.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: The other thing they do, and they do it a lot.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: You get two rabbits and then suddenly you know, you
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: got a thousand rabbits. That's all I'm saying. So let's
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: be aware of what's going on with the robot rabbits.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Scientists may have officially found a hangover hack that works
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: running Good luck with that. Researchers at the University of
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Houston compare different hangover cures from eggs and bacon to electrolytes,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: vitamin cocktails, caffeine drips, and it seems that sweating out
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: a hangover with high intensity exercise does the most to
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: get your body right after a night of drinking. The
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: trick is to trigger endorphins in the body, and not
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: just to leisurely stroll. You got to really get some
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: sweat going on, and that's when the endorphins kick in
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: and the exercise decreases inflammation caused by drinking too much
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: alcohol in a short period of time. Listen, I myself
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: never been hungover, never been intoxicated. I've had beverages. I
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: do enjoy the occasional beverage. I do not drink to
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: the point where I get hungover. And you have these issues.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: But I hear from friends, and I've witnessed friends that do,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: and I can tell you they don't want to go
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: for a run typically the next day. I can understand
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: where it could be beneficial. They always say, when you're sore,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: your muscles are sore after exercising, the best thing to
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: do is more exercise probably works basically the same way.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: But my point is basically, you probably will have a
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: hard time being motivated if you're hungover. That's the whole point.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: But it seems like it would make I mean, it
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: makes sense that it would work, So I'm not arguing
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: with the fact that it would work. I'm just questioning
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: whether or not you could get motivated enough to do
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: it if you are in fact truly hungover all right,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: most people are looking to different alternatives to ways to
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: meet that special someone I told you. I think at
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: the beginning of the week, people are traveling and going
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: places to meet people. They're kind of ditching the apps.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: They're probably ditching some of the speed dating. So there's
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: a new thing now apparently called read dating. And the
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: way it works is singles go to a bookstore cafe
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: with their favorite books in hand, and then they make
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: a connection with someone. They give them their book, which
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: has their contact info inside, and what happens next, you know,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: unwritten like the song goes. I assume that means they
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: bring their books from home or they buy books in
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: the store. I hope you're not encouraging shoplifting. You don't
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: want your first day to be going to bail each
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: other out of jail because you know Shenanigan's at the bookstore.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Hines and Smoothie King if teamed up to answer the
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: age old question if tomatoes are a fruit, then is
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: ketchup a smoothie? The Hines Tomato Ketchup Smoothie says, the
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: answer is most definitely yes, it's available. It selects Smoothie
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: King locations while supplies last. The smoothie contains the Hines
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: original fifty seven ketchup a chai sorbet, apple juice, strawberries
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: and raspberries. Sounds interesting. Don't know that it sounds good,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: but it sounds interesting. Disney has made a big announcement
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: that the Hulu app will be going away next year.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: The company already has a Hulu page built into Disney
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Plus for bundle subscribers. Next year that will become the
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: only way to access Hulu. Customers will still be able
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: to buy a Hulu only plan, but Disney is hoping
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: to get many more bundle subscribers with this new move.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I think it'll and I know that there's some things
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: changing at ESPN. I've heard rumblings that there are some
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: changes coming there. So we'll see how all this plays
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: out for all of those bundles. That'll do it for

  Speaker 2: the science behind the science fiction and the connections between
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: where science fiction sometimes leads to science science sometimes leads
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: to science fiction. It's just a weird connection that's already there.
