Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Friday morning, June sixth. I'm Wes, thanks for joining me.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Told the story a few times, but it's always worth repeating.
- 0:18Speaker 2: I remember on June sixth of two thousand and six,
- 0:24Speaker 2: I have a friend who's very paranoid about the numbers
- 0:29Speaker 2: six sixty six. She's just afraid of it. She doesn't
- 0:32Speaker 2: like it and she just avoids it. Not so much
- 0:35Speaker 2: she's afraid of it, but she just, you know, a
- 0:37Speaker 2: little superstitious about it. And if you listen to the
- 0:41Speaker 2: NQLN podcast that I do, it's Becca from that show. Well,
- 0:45Speaker 2: Becca doesn't like anything to do with sixty six to six.
- 0:49Speaker 2: And she was telling me back on June sixth of
- 0:51Speaker 2: two thousand and six, and she was just going to
- 0:52Speaker 2: stay home. She didn't want to leave the house, she
- 0:55Speaker 2: didn't want to go anywhere. She just wanted to stay
- 0:58Speaker 2: at home because of the numbers. And I on that
- 1:02Speaker 2: particular day, remember that I went to six Flags with
- 1:07Speaker 2: a friend and I rode one of the larger roller
- 1:14Speaker 2: coasters six times and Goliath, I guess is the name
- 1:20Speaker 2: of that one. And I was wearing one of my
- 1:23Speaker 2: Zonker's jersey T shirts that had the number six on
- 1:27Speaker 2: the back. I did all that just for her, but
- 1:29Speaker 2: I wanted to make sure. I wanted to make sure
- 1:32Speaker 2: that she knew that the number has no power. But
- 1:38Speaker 2: she thought I was crazy. And I suppose if the
- 1:41Speaker 2: you know, the roller coaster card had come off and
- 1:44Speaker 2: thrown me miles away, six miles away, maybe then she
- 1:49Speaker 2: would have been able to say, well, there you go.
- 1:51Speaker 2: But I survived. And I think about that often when
- 1:56Speaker 2: it's June sixth, that we continue to move forward. It
- 2:03Speaker 2: is Friday, and that means it is time for some
- 2:05Speaker 2: strange and bizarre news from around the world. Not a
- 2:11Speaker 2: big surprise that we're going to start in Florida. I mean,
- 2:14Speaker 2: eventually we get to Florida. I know, we did a
- 2:16Speaker 2: whole show where we stayed out of Florida. But you
- 2:19Speaker 2: know we're gonna get there. You know it's gonna happen.
- 2:22Speaker 2: There's gonna be Florida stories. It's just the reality of it.
- 2:27Speaker 2: We start in Florida today, where a man who goes
- 2:33Speaker 2: by the name or his name, I mean it is
- 2:34Speaker 2: his name, it's not the name. He goes by his name. Well,
- 2:37Speaker 2: it's both his name is John Publics, and he was
- 2:41Speaker 2: arrested after he was caught stealing from It's Florida. It's
- 2:46Speaker 2: a grocery store. Yeah, it's Publics. Police in Hollywood, Florida
- 2:51Speaker 2: said that Public's the man walked into Public's the store
- 2:54Speaker 2: wearing black and pink dress. A black pink dress is
- 3:00Speaker 2: what he was wearing. He had a face wrapping mask.
- 3:04Speaker 2: He grabbed a green public shopping bag, filled it with bananas,
- 3:08Speaker 2: icelandic water, coke, zero vanilla, frappuccino, and some fried shrimp.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Total value about twenty five bucks twenty five to twenty
- 3:18Speaker 2: six dollars in that range. He left the store without paying.
- 3:21Speaker 2: Police caught him a short distance away. He had ditched
- 3:23Speaker 2: the disguise and was wearing only tight black pants and socks.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Police placed him under arrest, charged him with petty theft,
- 3:31Speaker 2: and insisted I guess suppose he got trespassed from the
- 3:36Speaker 2: store and all that he resisted arrest, A battery on
- 3:38Speaker 2: a police officer, A bunch of fun stuff. So John Publics, Now,
- 3:46Speaker 2: the funny thing about this is it's a go to
- 3:50Speaker 2: for me whenever I talk about a business, and like
- 3:55Speaker 2: when you enter a public store, when you go into Publics,
- 3:57Speaker 2: they usually have a sign of the guy who I
- 4:01Speaker 2: guess founded Publics. I don't even remember his name. I
- 4:06Speaker 2: will often say that's Percy Publics, like I'll just you know,
- 4:11Speaker 2: like his last name was Publics. So this guy John Publics.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Maybe in a different alternative universe he is the guy
- 4:19Speaker 2: who founded the store Publics, and he's not stealing from them,
- 4:23Speaker 2: or I guess he is. But you know, it's like,
- 4:25Speaker 2: you know, Batman begins Bruce. Wayne can't exactly steal from
- 4:30Speaker 2: Wayne Enterprises. So maybe in some other universe that's what's
- 4:35Speaker 2: happening right now. I prefer the name Percy, but this
- 4:38Speaker 2: guy's name is John, and I can't fix that. So
- 4:40Speaker 2: there's that, all right. Let's go to Washington State. As
- 4:48Speaker 2: a tractor trailer carrying more than seventy thousand pounds of
- 4:52Speaker 2: beehives tipped over in Watkam County, near the Canadian border
- 4:58Speaker 2: and basically, of course, turned a white stretch of highway
- 5:01Speaker 2: into chaos. More than fourteen million honey bees were released,
- 5:07Speaker 2: and authorities were forced to shut down a stretch of
- 5:09Speaker 2: the road so beekeepers could get to work and try
- 5:13Speaker 2: to recover as many of the hives and bees as possible. Yeah,
- 5:21Speaker 2: they believe that's the way the story's written. Most of
- 5:24Speaker 2: them have been recovered and returned to their hives, but
- 5:27Speaker 2: many flew from the scene and are likely looking to
- 5:30Speaker 2: start new colonies somewhere else. So it happens. It's sad
- 5:37Speaker 2: we have a b shortage. We hear that all the time,
- 5:40Speaker 2: that there's a bee shortage. But there you go. Yeah,
- 5:44Speaker 2: that's a lot of bees. I mean, we get two
- 5:48Speaker 2: or three wasps near our front door, and we could
- 5:51Speaker 2: shut the whole thing down. I got kids that don't
- 5:53Speaker 2: want to go through the door. I don't particularly want
- 5:56Speaker 2: to walk past them, but you know, I just power through.
- 5:59Speaker 2: It's not fun. Stung me last year my finger got
- 6:01Speaker 2: very swollen. It happens. I know, it's not I know
- 6:05Speaker 2: that sounded very that sounded very muchoed it. It's not fun.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Nobody likes being stung. Fourteen million bees. I would imagine
- 6:15Speaker 2: there's a lot of parents trying to get kids through
- 6:19Speaker 2: all of that somewhere else. But yeah, I guess you
- 6:21Speaker 2: can't just drive over the hives. Just you can't just
- 6:26Speaker 2: run them over, is what I'm saying. All Right, you
- 6:29Speaker 2: never know what obstacles you could encounter when driving on
- 6:31Speaker 2: a highway. You know, here in the area. We had
- 6:37Speaker 2: not too long ago in the Auburn area, a kangaroo
- 6:40Speaker 2: had escaped and was hopping along the highway Tennessee Murphysboro, Tennessee.
- 6:47Speaker 2: Traffic on Interstate twenty four in that area encountered a
- 6:53Speaker 2: pet zebra that escaped. I don't understand the wild and
- 6:58Speaker 2: I mean, if I had a pet kangar or a
- 7:00Speaker 2: pet zebra, I would make sure that they're not getting loose.
- 7:05Speaker 2: It just seems like the kind of pet you want
- 7:07Speaker 2: to make sure stays on your property. The pet zebra
- 7:12Speaker 2: escaped from the owner's hall made a run for it.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Police say the owner had just received the zebra on Friday,
- 7:17Speaker 2: and apparently it didn't care much for suburban life and
- 7:21Speaker 2: went for a run on the highway and you know,
- 7:26Speaker 2: born free. I don't know, but instead of dodging the
- 7:30Speaker 2: typical kind of serengetti type animals, lines and hyenas, it
- 7:34Speaker 2: was dodging you know, broncos and rams and jaguars and mustangs. Cars.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Traffic was stopped and a portion of the road was closed.
- 7:44Speaker 2: The zebra ultimately ran into the woods. And I'm not
- 7:49Speaker 2: sure that it's even been caught. At the time of
- 7:50Speaker 2: publication of this story, it had not been caught. I
- 7:53Speaker 2: would hope that it's been captured by this point and
- 7:55Speaker 2: returned home or maybe back to somewhere else that's not
- 7:59Speaker 2: necessarily someone's backyard that doesn't seem like a backyard animal.
- 8:04Speaker 2: And I think about this. I passed some judgment on
- 8:07Speaker 2: letting it escape, but if they just got it, maybe
- 8:09Speaker 2: they didn't know what zebras were capable of. I went
- 8:12Speaker 2: to the Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain with my
- 8:17Speaker 2: family years ago and it started chewing on the windows
- 8:20Speaker 2: of the car, just chawing down. And you know, I
- 8:27Speaker 2: know that that's a different case because those animals are
- 8:30Speaker 2: coming up to the car for food. But still, maybe
- 8:32Speaker 2: they didn't know what they were getting their hands on
- 8:34Speaker 2: with a zebra. Passengers on a flight from Thailand to
- 8:37Speaker 2: India had no idea they were on a plane with
- 8:40Speaker 2: dozens of venomous states snakes until they landed and the
- 8:43Speaker 2: smuggler was captured by customs officials. Authorities in Mumbai, India,
- 8:48Speaker 2: arrested the man after they found forty four Indonesian pit vipers,
- 8:52Speaker 2: three spider tailed horn vipers, and five Asian leaf turtles
- 8:56Speaker 2: inside his checked luggage. The snakes were all packed in
- 9:00Speaker 2: individual bags. Highly venomous breeds. The turtles or a protected
- 9:05Speaker 2: species under international wildlife flaws. Photos released by Mumbai customs
- 9:10Speaker 2: show the snakes squirming in plastic buckets. That's where you
- 9:14Speaker 2: want them, You want them, just kind of squirming around
- 9:17Speaker 2: in a plastic bucket. Animal smuggling common in Mumbai airport. Recently,
- 9:22Speaker 2: officials have seized a number of exotic animals, including rare birds,
- 9:25Speaker 2: a small alligator, even small apes. However, the latest incident
- 9:30Speaker 2: involving snakes the most dangerous is that how you get
- 9:34Speaker 2: a zebra into Murphysboro, Tennessee, coming out of Mumbai. I
- 9:40Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know how that works. But all right,
- 9:43Speaker 2: let's go back to Florida. A couple more stories out
- 9:46Speaker 2: of Florida. Actually, police we've been looking for a man
- 9:50Speaker 2: who snatched a ferret from a Petland store and left
- 9:53Speaker 2: with it nestled in his crotch. That's what you want
- 9:58Speaker 2: the suspect, described as a The man in his thirties
- 10:01Speaker 2: with a long mustache allegedly fondled the ferret for quite
- 10:04Speaker 2: some time. The joke's there. It's easy. It's a low
- 10:10Speaker 2: hanging fruit. I'm gonna move on. He then shoved it
- 10:13Speaker 2: down his shorts casually walked out of the store. The
- 10:16Speaker 2: joke just keeps building itself and building itself. But I'm
- 10:19Speaker 2: going to press on. He was holding the crotch area
- 10:23Speaker 2: of his shorts to support the ferret as he walked
- 10:27Speaker 2: past all points of sale without paying. A store employee
- 10:30Speaker 2: followed him outside watched as he drove away in a
- 10:32Speaker 2: white van. Police are reviewing surveillance footage have a good
- 10:37Speaker 2: picture of the suspect. They had been looking for the
- 10:40Speaker 2: public's help to identify him. You know, a pet ferret
- 10:46Speaker 2: goes for about six hundred and fifty bucks at this location,
- 10:49Speaker 2: So good luck, good luck trying to track down the
- 10:53Speaker 2: man with the ferret in his pants. All right. Also
- 10:56Speaker 2: in Florida, a man wearing a ski mask carrying tools
- 10:59Speaker 2: will stop by pulling. He very nonchalantly told them he
- 11:02Speaker 2: was on his way to watch his ex girlfriend's sleep.
- 11:08Speaker 2: That's pretty terrifying. Deputies naturally suspected twenty year old Jalen
- 11:13Speaker 2: Valley host and searched his truck. Inside they found a
- 11:16Speaker 2: backpack containing duct tape, wirecutters, spray paint, and a sledgehammer.
- 11:23Speaker 2: Valley Hosts then offered up another nugget of information he
- 11:28Speaker 2: thought deputies might care to know that he's actually been
- 11:31Speaker 2: going to his ex's house for more than six months
- 11:33Speaker 2: to watch her sleep. He said he didn't know what
- 11:36Speaker 2: he might do with all the tools, but brought them
- 11:39Speaker 2: along just in case he ever considered prying open her door.
- 11:44Speaker 2: He's charged with aggravated stalking, attempted armed burglary, loitering and prowling,
- 11:49Speaker 2: possession of burglary tools, and criminal mischief and was held
- 11:54Speaker 2: without bail. Probably a good idea, Probably a good idea
- 11:58Speaker 2: for her to move. I mean, I understand you can't
- 12:03Speaker 2: just move all the time, but if there's any chance
- 12:07Speaker 2: of this guy ever getting out, it's almost certainly a
- 12:10Speaker 2: good idea that she no longer live in the place
- 12:13Speaker 2: where he knows where she lives. That's just the kind
- 12:16Speaker 2: of thing that seems like it makes sense. The idea
- 12:20Speaker 2: that he's just standing over her, or peeking in the
- 12:22Speaker 2: window or whatever he's doing watching her sleep with all
- 12:26Speaker 2: of those tools doesn't seem like a place to continue
- 12:31Speaker 2: to sleep at night. That's all, all right, It can
- 12:35Speaker 2: be very frustrating when a doctor misdiagnoses your condition, like
- 12:40Speaker 2: saying that you're dead but you're not. That happens sometimes.
- 12:44Speaker 2: An eighty eight year old woman in the Czech Republic
- 12:47Speaker 2: was nearly buried alive and she suddenly woke up inside
- 12:50Speaker 2: a coffin. Started when the woman's eighty seven year old
- 12:54Speaker 2: husband found her unresponsive at home. She wasn't moving, didn't
- 12:58Speaker 2: appear to be breathing, so he assumed that she had
- 13:01Speaker 2: passed away and called emergency services. A coroner arrived and
- 13:05Speaker 2: officially declared her dead. Funeral workers came to collect her
- 13:10Speaker 2: body and transport her in a coffin to the funeral home.
- 13:15Speaker 2: As they were placing her in the coffin, she suddenly
- 13:18Speaker 2: opened her eyes and started breathing. They rushed her to
- 13:21Speaker 2: the hospital. She remains under medical care. All right, A
- 13:26Speaker 2: few things here just to process. She I'm sure was
- 13:32Speaker 2: startled at waking up inside a coffin. That's a pretty horrifying,
- 13:36Speaker 2: scary thing to experience. I'm sure her husband, who you know,
- 13:43Speaker 2: called and had her declared dead. I don't think that
- 13:46Speaker 2: was his intention, but ultimately his phone call is what
- 13:51Speaker 2: you know. He thought she had died. He called, they came,
- 13:54Speaker 2: they checked. I mean, that's what they're all supposed to do.
- 13:58Speaker 2: And then I think about the fact that the funeral
- 14:01Speaker 2: homeworkers are the ones I actually feel the worst for.
- 14:04Speaker 2: I don't feel great for her, but at least she
- 14:08Speaker 2: got the kind of ending that you say, well, I'm
- 14:10Speaker 2: alive and it's scary to be stuck in a coffin,
- 14:13Speaker 2: but at least I'm still alive. And the husband got, hey,
- 14:15Speaker 2: my wife is still here, assuming that that's what he wanted.
- 14:19Speaker 2: And I'm just going to hope in the name of love,
- 14:24Speaker 2: that's what he wanted. But these poor funeral homeworkers who
- 14:29Speaker 2: were putting her in the coffin when she suddenly sat up,
- 14:33Speaker 2: that's not something that leaves you, you know, that's a
- 14:35Speaker 2: career changer. I think I can't imagine that you'd want
- 14:39Speaker 2: to continue to keep that job. Kind of like if
- 14:41Speaker 2: you're the guy that finds the bucket of snakes at
- 14:43Speaker 2: the Mumbai airport, you know, maybe the customs job is
- 14:50Speaker 2: not for you anymore. I don't think I would want
- 14:52Speaker 2: it anymore. I think I would probably, you know, leave
- 14:56Speaker 2: the funeral home, leave the buckets of snakes to somebody else.
- 15:01Speaker 2: And I don't know, but maybe the snake bucket guy
- 15:03Speaker 2: got a nice fat reward or something, some kind of
- 15:06Speaker 2: a bonus for catching all those snakes. If only they
- 15:10Speaker 2: had been caught before the flight, though, I think maybe
- 15:13Speaker 2: the bonus could be deserved. Today's show brought to you
- 15:16Speaker 2: by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center. Hey.
- 15:20Speaker 3: Everyone, this is doctor Sean Crusin. I'm the executive director
- 15:24Speaker 3: of Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center. I
- 15:27Speaker 3: want to tell you about a very special exhibit that
- 15:30Speaker 3: we have on display the summer. It's so big that
- 15:34Speaker 3: it can't even fit in our own exhibit gallery. It's
- 15:37Speaker 3: just too many pieces. This is a collection of items
- 15:41Speaker 3: from the personal collection of astronaut David R.
- 15:45Speaker 2: Scott.
- 15:46Speaker 3: Dave Scott flew on Gemini eight with Neil Armstrong. He
- 15:49Speaker 3: flew on Apollo nine, a dress rehearsal for the moon landing,
- 15:53Speaker 3: and then, most importantly, perhaps he commanded Apollo fifteen, where
- 15:57Speaker 3: he became the first person to ever drive a car on.
- 16:00Speaker 2: The service of the Moon.
- 16:02Speaker 3: Because Dave's brother Tom lived and worked here in Columbus, Georgia,
- 16:05Speaker 3: with our Columbus Chamber of Commerce. We got to be
- 16:08Speaker 3: good friends with Tom. Tom has coordinated a very generous
- 16:12Speaker 3: donation of artifacts and memorabilia from the Scott Brothers collection
- 16:17Speaker 3: to us here at Coca Cola Space Science Center. And again,
- 16:20Speaker 3: that collection got so overwhelmingly large we couldn't put it
- 16:23Speaker 3: on display here. That's why we're doing the exhibit at
- 16:26Speaker 3: the Bow Bartlet Center. They are open from eleven am
- 16:29Speaker 3: to four pm Tuesday through Saturday. Go down and check
- 16:33Speaker 3: out this great exhibit on display at the Bow Bartlet Center.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Check out all the other wonderful pieces of artwork down
- 16:38Speaker 3: there as well, and then come visit us here at
- 16:41Speaker 3: Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
- 16:47Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
- 16:52Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
- 16:56Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
- 16:59Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
- 17:03Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of square and that
- 17:06Speaker 2: away for you, and while they're there, you can always
- 17:08Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
- 17:11Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
- 17:14Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be,
- 17:17Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
- 17:24Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
- 17:27Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got.
- 17:30Speaker 2: With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in
- 17:33Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
- 17:37Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
- 17:40Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
- 17:42Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
- 17:47Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
- 17:48Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 17:51Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
- 17:53Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
- 17:56Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
- 17:58Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
- 18:01Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
- 18:04Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
- 18:07Speaker 2: And they do those as well. Seven sixty five eight
- 18:11Speaker 2: forty five hundred seven oh six three five eight forty
- 18:13Speaker 2: five hundred o dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning
- 18:18Speaker 2: Show right after the break. All right, if you're one
- 18:29Speaker 2: of the people who managed to get their hands on
- 18:30Speaker 2: a switch to yesterday or maybe even today, Probably not
- 18:35Speaker 2: so much today, but if you get one today, if
- 18:37Speaker 2: you get one in this first couple of months, it's
- 18:40Speaker 2: being recommended that you fight the urge to remove the
- 18:45Speaker 2: screen protector. Gaming insiders have discovered that the protector is
- 18:52Speaker 2: designed to stay on the console to prevent fragments scattering
- 18:56Speaker 2: in the event of damage. So for the sake of
- 18:59Speaker 2: your new toy, don't peel it off. They're not cheap,
- 19:02Speaker 2: they're hard to find, so just no, you need to
- 19:05Speaker 2: keep that on there. I think most cases, those little protectors,
- 19:08Speaker 2: most people just peel those things off because I think
- 19:11Speaker 2: they're just temporary. But this is intended maybe to be
- 19:14Speaker 2: a long term one. It sounds like they have that
- 19:16Speaker 2: in mind at least, So fight the urge if you've
- 19:19Speaker 2: got one of those new switch tos. Just saying. Scientists
- 19:22Speaker 2: have figured out how to mess around with the genes
- 19:24Speaker 2: of mosquitos in a way that would make the females infertile.
- 19:29Speaker 2: This could eliminate mosquitoes completely from the face of the earth. Now,
- 19:34Speaker 2: considering mosquitoes are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of
- 19:37Speaker 2: thousands of people every year spread diseases like malaria, don't
- 19:42Speaker 2: forget the dingy fever, killing them all seems like a
- 19:45Speaker 2: decent idea, But some researchers who actually care about ethics
- 19:49Speaker 2: say that could be dangerous to drive an entire species
- 19:52Speaker 2: out of existence, So they say that maybe there'd be
- 19:56Speaker 2: a way to get rid of malaria without getting rid
- 19:58Speaker 2: of mosquitoes. Can we at least cut the numbers down?
- 20:02Speaker 2: I don't necessarily think. I understand there may be some
- 20:05Speaker 2: other animals that feed on mosquitoes. I think that's the
- 20:08Speaker 2: thing I'd be thinking about. I get the ethic side
- 20:11Speaker 2: of it, but I mean, I think the ethic side
- 20:15Speaker 2: of it maybe is that it would cause some problems
- 20:17Speaker 2: in the food chain. That's what I'm saying. But I'm
- 20:19Speaker 2: not a fan of mosquitoes. I'm not advocating on behalf
- 20:22Speaker 2: of mosquitos. I do not like them, and they seem
- 20:27Speaker 2: to be very very bad. This year already, researchers have
- 20:31Speaker 2: developed the temporary electronic tattoo that sounds an alarm when
- 20:35Speaker 2: your mind is working too hard. The e tattoo read
- 20:39Speaker 2: your brain waves and eye movements to figure out how
- 20:41Speaker 2: mentally overloaded you are. It's sort of a fit bit
- 20:45Speaker 2: for your thoughts. The high tech gadget was engineered for
- 20:48Speaker 2: people with stressful, high stakes jobs like air traffic control
- 20:52Speaker 2: or medicine. It would allow people in these careers to
- 20:55Speaker 2: know when they need to take a break before a
- 20:58Speaker 2: lapse in concentration could cause some serious trouble. There's a
- 21:03Speaker 2: lot of professions I think they could benefit from this.
- 21:06Speaker 2: I like it. It sounds a little weird, it sounds
- 21:08Speaker 2: like it could be a little dangerous, but it also
- 21:11Speaker 2: sounds like it could be beneficial. So another sign that
- 21:15Speaker 2: people are getting nervous about the economy. A lot more
- 21:18Speaker 2: people cooking from home. I don't know that this is
- 21:21Speaker 2: something new. This was going on during the last administration.
- 21:23Speaker 2: I think it's continued on people tightening their belts, trying
- 21:27Speaker 2: on aprons. Research from Campbell's says that people are now
- 21:30Speaker 2: cooking at home at the highest levels since the start
- 21:34Speaker 2: of the pandemic. And this comes from the folks at
- 21:36Speaker 2: Campbell's who say, please buy our products so that you
- 21:39Speaker 2: can cook at home. It's not great news for restaurants,
- 21:43Speaker 2: great news for companies like Campbell's. That's all I'm saying.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Are you someone who worries that you left an appliance on,
- 21:49Speaker 2: or a door unlocked, or forgot to mess with the thermostat,
- 21:53Speaker 2: or you left the garage door open, any number of
- 21:55Speaker 2: concerns when you leave for a vacation. Well, here's a
- 21:58Speaker 2: hack for you, According to a expert, Suneil Metcalf, take
- 22:02Speaker 2: a photo. It's similar to forwarding your emails to a
- 22:06Speaker 2: colleague or leaving your pet in the care of someone
- 22:09Speaker 2: you trust. If you take a picture of the locked
- 22:11Speaker 2: back door, the closed garage door, the unplugged appliance, that'll
- 22:16Speaker 2: give you a little piece of mind and let you
- 22:18Speaker 2: go and be fully present in your vacation. It's a
- 22:22Speaker 2: great idea. I do it with parking spaces. I don't
- 22:25Speaker 2: have a great sense of direction and just being blunt
- 22:29Speaker 2: and sometimes I can lose my car in a parking space.
- 22:31Speaker 2: And I'm not talking about like at a grocery store.
- 22:34Speaker 2: I'm talking about although I have done that. I'm talking
- 22:39Speaker 2: about you know, you're in an airport lot or something
- 22:42Speaker 2: and you think I need to remember where I parked
- 22:45Speaker 2: and I take a picture. I just try to do that.
- 22:48Speaker 2: That's what I try to do to make sure that
- 22:50Speaker 2: all of that is covered. So that's good, eliminate those
- 22:54Speaker 2: moment of panic at moments of panic, and it probably
- 22:56Speaker 2: be helpful for any number of people that maybe have
- 22:59Speaker 2: a little CD, a little stressed about things. Don't want
- 23:03Speaker 2: to have to go back and check it again. If
- 23:05Speaker 2: there's something that you can do, I think that's a
- 23:08Speaker 2: good call. I think that's a really good call. All
- 23:10Speaker 2: right that I'll do it for this Friday edition of
- 23:12Speaker 2: the show. Thanks to our sponsors and Patronspatreon dot com,
