  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, tenth day of October. I'm Wes, thanks for
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: joining me. It's a day two of fall break for
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: school kids in our area, for some for the Muscogee
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: County kids at the very least, I guess there may
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: be some others also enjoying a fall break. This is
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I think we have an inconsistent fall break. It's around
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: the same time every year, but I think there's some
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: inconsistency to it. I don't I feel like the number
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: of days that they get off for fall break isn't
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: always the same, and it's not like a full like
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: spring break, where they're getting you know, a full week
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: off from school. You know, spring break is a five
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: day and you got the two weekends. There's, you know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: an extended period of time for people to travel and
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: do things as a family and all those sorts of things.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: The complication I think with fall break, And maybe I'm wrong,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember fall break
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: maybe being sometimes it would be like a Friday and
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: a Monday, and then they would have the weekend built
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: into it. And then sometimes you know, you have a
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: long weekend, which is great, and then sometimes I think
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: it would just maybe be Thursday Friday. I may be
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: wrong on that. I don't remember it being like two
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: weekdays and then a Monday and then like a five.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm glad. Good for them. They need it,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and they're finishing their first nine weeks of school and
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: their first half of the first semester or whatever, so
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, good for them. I'm glad. I know my
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: kids need a little break. Was like it was a lot.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: It feels like they were sprinting in this first part
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: of the school year, so I know the break is needed.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not in any way being critical of it. For
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: some kids in the in the Muskogee County area, they
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: were doing p. S. A t's before they went on breaks.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: So basically it's Thursday Friday, and then they've got Monday
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: out as well, so Monday I'm counting as a holiday.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: So this will be you know, I'll do the show
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: today and then we'll take a break Monday, and we'll.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Be back attered on Tuesday.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: That's what we're doing because it's a holiday for them
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and we're going to be doing some family stuff. We
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: don't have a trip planned. We do know some of
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the kids in the area whose families do have trips
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: plan and that's great. Our big trip, I mean we've done,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you know, some things already, but our big trip was
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the Australia trip.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: For this year.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: And you know that's that's one of those you don't
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: have a lot of other trips. When you do a
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: big trip, big international trip, you don't always have other
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: trips planned in the same year. That's not how it
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: always works. All right, it is Friday, so we're gonna start,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: obviously with some good news. We like to give you
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: some of that. And we have a couple of the
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: first up. Two high schools in Greenville County, South Carolina
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: have been doing this. They have a competition between the
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: two schools and they have now raised over a million
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: dollars for charity and a week Greenville High brought in
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: five hundred three thousand dollars for Jasmine Road, a nonprofit
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: helping survivors of trafficking and addiction.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: J L.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Mann High School raised a little bit more five hundred
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: and thirty two thousand dollars for the Dream Center, which
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: supports women and children in crisis. The friendly fundraising feud
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: has become a tradition in the community. This year's Blue
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Past Expectations setting example about how all of us showing
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: an example for all of us, showing what an amazing
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: thing can be possible in a short amount of time
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: when you set your mind to it. And I think
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I talked about this maybe last year when they did.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: This has become an annual thing for them, so fantastic,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: over a million bucks. And I know you get into
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the competition part of it. High schools can do that
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: with each other. They can get very competitive obviously in sports.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: This is one of those things where there's no loser.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: You know, everybody comes out with a positive there. Everybody
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: can feel good about the work that they did. How
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: about this story, This is out of the UK. Fourteen
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: year old Layla Warren was traveling home on a bus
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: from a friend's birthday in Birmingham, England, and a young
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: woman had a severe epileptic seizure and stopped breathing. Layla
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: quickly called nine nine nine, that's their version of nine
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: one one and performed CPR under the guidance of the dispatcher.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: By keeping calm and staying brave, Layla helped revive the
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: twenty two year old and kept her stable until first
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: responders arrived. The local head of police, Simon Foster, praised
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Layla's bravery, saying what she did on that bus was
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: nothing short of heroic. The rescue efforts resulted in Layla
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: attending the Outstanding Citizen Awards ceremony earlier this month, where
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: she was formally recognized for her bravery and dedication to
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: her community. And that's a cool story there for a
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: fourteen year old. All right, how about this story? This
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: is one of those things that maybe kind of slips
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: through the cracks when you hear about a restaurant closing.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: So this is in Keenesburg, New Jersey. It's a place
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: called the Beach Gallery. It's a restaurant that recently closed
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: because of government permit issues. What a shocker. Government regulation
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: caused a problem in New Jersey. So you would think,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: all right, well, restaurants come and go. It's tough to
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: run a restaurant. It's a tough business to run, and
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: you know many times restaurants struggle to stay open. But
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: in the case of the Beach Gallery, the abrupt closing
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: calls some other problem albums because it is a very
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: popular wedding venue and there's at least two ceremonies that
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: were scheduled there, and the closing left those couples looking
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: around for a plan. B. Well, the restaurant's closed, beach
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Gallery's gone, there's nothing that they can do about it.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: So what are we going to do? Well, there's another
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: restaurant in Keenesburg called half Moon decided that they could
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: help out. Diana Gracie, who runs half Moon with her
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: husband Emiliano, says that she was surprised when a couple
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: approached them after hearing the news about the Beach Gallery.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: She says, we weren't even open yet and I was
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: at the restaurant when I suddenly got this knock on
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: the door. It was a couple, a man and a woman,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: standing outside, and they were just informed that the Beach
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Gallery would not be reopening and would I be able
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: to host their wedding in a week. Shortly after that,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the couple left, I guess another couple showed up with
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the same story in the same request. So Gracie and
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Emiliano got to work and they were starting to prepare
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: the half Moon for two weddings. Assuming everything goes to plan.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Half Moon will be hosting a brunch wedding for seventy
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: people tomorrow and a dinner time wedding later in that
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: evening for forty people stepping up. I mean, this is
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: a good move. This is a good move for them,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: and obviously it's got folks like me talking about them.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: And I'm nowhere near New Jersey, but it's got to
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: be a good story for the people there in New Jersey,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: and especially to know if they've lost people that love
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: this place as a wedding venue, now suddenly they can
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: start looking at another place as a possible wedding venue.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: People that are willing to go above and beyond to
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: help out. All right, Now, let's dive into some strange
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and bizarre news. We'll go back to South Carolina for this.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: A couple is asking neighbors to stop calling the fire
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: department to report that their house is on fire. It's
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: not on fire, it just looks like it is. Sam
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Lee and Amanda Riggins Pedan or Peden say that what
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: appears to be a raging house fire is an elaborate
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Halloween display at their home. It's so realistic with bright
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: yellow flames and white smoke that the fire department has
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: received multiple calls from concerned neighbors. Each time, a fire
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: truck was sent over to the house just to make
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: sure there wasn't actually a fire. The couple turns on
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: the display every night between eight and ten and ask
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: people not to call nine one one. Reactions to the
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: display have been mixed on social media, with some expressing
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: amazement at how realistic it looks, and it does looking
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: at an image right now, it looks like the house
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: is on fire. Others criticizing the couple for all the
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: false alarms called to the fire department. And then the
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: obvious question that comes along for me is what if
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the house actually did catch on fire. I don't know
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: what they're using to like the house up. I assume
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: there's bulbs inside, and I guess smoke machines or whatever
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: are giving off the smoke. But what if something did
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: catch fire and then they called and said, hey, there's
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: a house on fire, come help us, And then you
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: know it's the fire department. Come, there's a cry wolf
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: thing to all of this, isn't there? Because and I
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: really don't. I mean, it looks great. It's a nice
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: display of a home that looks like it's on fire.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I don't really understand what that has to do with Halloween.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: When did having a house on fire. It's not a
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: haunted house. It's not a house that looks like there's
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: spirits and things coming out of it. It just looks
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: like a house is a blaze, and I don't really
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: know that I understand what the purpose of that is.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I don't get it, but you know, to each their own,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I suppose it's going to be a problem though, if
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: the house actually does catch on fire. Speaking of Halloween displays,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: there's often a certain amount of acceptance and even people
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: tolerating Halloween displays, but there are some lines that shouldn't
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: be crossed. You could make a case that having a
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: display that looks like the houses on fire would be
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: one of those. But there's at least one man in
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Kentucky who's been arrested for crossing a line that absolutely
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: shouldn't be crossed. Police say they arrested Stefan Markham because
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: his Halloween decorations depicted dead bodies of local public officials.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: They say he had five fake bodies and trash bags
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: that were individually labeled. One was labeled District Judge The
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: others were labeled mayor zoning men, manager c A I
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: guess record of appeals and then Sis Markham has been
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: a long running been in a long running legal dispute
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: with the town of Stanton over zoning issues, and was
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: recently fined two hundred dollars for a violation. He's now
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: facing charges of terroristic threatening and witness intimidation. This is
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: just a protest in Portland, right, I mean, this is
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: just a average old This is just an average day.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: This is but a peaceful protest, isn't it? Has he
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: done anything wrong? He just wanted to see the bodies
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: on display.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Whatever, I don't know.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: A beloved dinosaur mascot is now back home in Los
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Angeles at a gas station after a bizarre theft caught
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: the attention of the Internet and even actress Jamie Lee.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Curtis Claire. A four foot tall, fifty pound Fiberclass dinosaur
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: was stolen about a week ago from outside seeing Claire
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: gas station in Brentwood. Surveillance video showed someone using power
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: tools to remove the statue and loaded into a white
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: pickup truck. The theft sparked outrage online, with even Jamie
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Lee Curtis posting a video of the incident, calling out
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: the thief, saying not cool, dude, not cool. Fans of
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: the dinosaur even left flowers at the scene, but then
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: early Monday morning, Claire mysteriously reappeared. She was wrapped in
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: fabric and left outside the gas station with a note
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: attached reading I'm sorry for stealing. Please don't charge me.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: There's been no arrest made. Police still investigating. I mean,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: they ultimately did the right thing. We went through something
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: with our you know, Katie the cow here and the
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: little smaller version of the cow. We've been through that
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: here locally. We know what that feels like. There were
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: no big time celebrities involved or Jamie Lee Curtis. So yeah,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I do like Halloween though. It makes me realize I
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: haven't watched Halloween yet this year.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Need to do that. Maybe this weekend.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Maybe that could be a fall break activity for the family.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: The best man at a wedding has a lot of responsibilities.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: The groom expects him to plan the bachelor party, hold
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: the rings, make a memorable toast. In rare cases, like
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: at a wedding recently in Minnesota, he may be called
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: upon to handle a wedding crasher with extreme prejudice please say.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Thirty three year old Steve and Andrew James was the
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: best man at his friend's wedding in Maplewood when an
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: uninvited guest showed up and tried to confront the groom.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: James reportedly stepped in and shot the wedding crasher in
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: both of his legs. Wedding guests used the belts as
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: makes use their belts as makeshift tourniquets to stop the bleeding,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: and then rushed him to the hospital. Police later found
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: James at his girlfriend's home, and he was arrested, charged
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: with second degree assault and is being held on two
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand bill. Yeah. I mean, look, I
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: don't know what the confrontation was about. I don't know
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: what was happening there, but you're definitely crossing the line
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: when you start shooting people at a wedding. I mean,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: if the other guy was threatening violence and you know,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: trying to hurt somebody, it's different.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: But I don't know.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: All that'll have to come out in court.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: I suppose.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Hey, A fire department Germany, Germany, finally found the root
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: calls of a suspected gas leak after making multiple trips
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: to a neighborhood in response to repeated calls from residents.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: In the end, it wasn't a gas leak at all.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: People kept detecting a strong gas smell, but each time
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: the fire department arrived, they investigated and their meters found
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: no reading of gas. In fact, there wasn't even a
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: gas hookup anywhere in the immediate area. When they responded
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: to the scene for the fourth time, they figured out
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: the culprit and exotic fruit the Durian fruit, notoriously bad
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: smelling fruit I found in Southeast Asia. It was on
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: the shelves of an Asian supermarket in the area, and
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: it's powerful smell known to resemble noxious gases. The smell
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: had apparently gotten into the store's ventilation system and billowed
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: out into the neighborhood. Who's eating the fruit that smells
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: like you got a ghast leap? That's my question. Today's
• 15:21

  Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder warmer weather, sometimes that
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: a situation where you'd like to add a screen door
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: to your garage door system that you can put down
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: and you can use your garage space as a sort
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: work on your own cars in there, or maybe you
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: just want a little man cavid you'd like to be
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: able to open the door up and not invite all
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: the insects in. They can do that for you as well,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: than that thought of having your car trapped inside your
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: garage and your garage door won't open and you need
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: somebody to come help, and they do those as well.

  Speaker 2: dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: All right, we're working our way like a third of
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: the way now through the month of October and working
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: our way towards Halloween. This is the month of pumpkin
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: spice and some of those seasonal flavors, and one of
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: the seasonal flavors happens to be a certain a certain
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: type of candy or flavor that has multiple ways to
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: pronounce it. And I haven't said it yet because I
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: have the way that I pronounce it, and I think
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: most people I know maybe pronounce it the way that
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I do, but you may not. And some people are
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: very touchy about it. So for some it's a three
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: syllable word, for some it's two syllable word. And I'll
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: just now, I'm just gonna say it because you get
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: another word. I pronounce the word caramel. Some people call
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: it caramel. Some people pronounce it with two syllables and
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: call it carmel. I don't think there's a caramel. Maybe
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: there is a caramel with two syllables, but carmel, caramel,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: and cararamel, I think are the three main ways that
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: are pronounced. So there's a survey that was done by
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: the folks at were Through's original fifty seven percent of
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Americans they say pronounce it caramel, which would be, you know,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: in the majority. So if you pronounce it that way,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: and they say that, it's consistent across every part of
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: the country except the Midwest, where that same percentage fifty
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: seven percent pronounce it carmel, but the rest of the
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: country overall says caramel. I don't know why this is
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: one of those words, but it is one of those
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: words that has different ways that people pronounce it. I
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: guess pecan and pecan and I like to say pekin.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: And I didn't know that that's a British thing until
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I saw one of those British baking shows and they
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: were calling them pekins, and I was like, I was
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: just saying in a different way just to be annoying
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: when I was younger, my teenage years, But apparently that's
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: the thing. Do you have special occasion items? How often
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: do you use them? A new survey found eighty percent
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: of homeowners have special dishes, glassware, utensils, linens or cookware
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: they reserve just for special occasions, and that sixty four
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: percent never use them. Forty eight percent say the reason
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: is that they're worried about damaging them, forty five percent
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: say that they're impractical, forty two percent say that it
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: can be a hassle to hand wash.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Those specific items.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Then, of course comes the question, well why do you
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: have them? What are you going to do with them?
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: If you never use them. They're just there, they're you know,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: getting dusty. How much care can you take of them
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: if they're not ever being I mean, I guess they're
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: protected if they're not being used. All right, how about
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: this if you're vegan or a vegetarian. I think this
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: is more vegan, but have the expensive taste. I don't know,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: maybe it is vegetarian as well. Well, there's apparently we
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: you know, we've had the impossible burgers. There's very there's
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: a bunch of different varieties of those, but these different
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: plant based like hamburgers, hot dogs, bacon, sausage, all these things.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: More and more of these items have have come along,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: and now we have one that I'll be honest, I
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: don't know that I ever really imagined this would be
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: a version of a plant based food item, but we
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: have one.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: There's a company called zero z e r Oe Caviar, Yes,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: plant based caviar. They've developed a fresh egg alternative made
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: entirely from weed and then different herbs and spices. Reviews positive,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: with some chefs at Michelin Star restaurants agreeing that it
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: tastes like the real deal. The company said in a statement.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: With its delicate textures and exquisite flavors. Our caviar will
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: take your taste buds on an unforgettable journey made with
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: a deep commitment to marine conservation. Or guilt free caviar
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: lets you savor each bite with a clear conscience. And
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: it's also quite a bit less expensive than actual caviar.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: But it depends on the caviar I suppose, I mean probably,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: depending you can probably get some really cheap caviar. That's
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: all I'm pointing out. Yeah, I don't know what the
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: point of this is other than there's just certain groups
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: that are going to want to have their caviar, but
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: not cross that line, I guess, I don't know, going
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: into breaking their vegan or vegetarian ways. Sweden has launched
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: a new wellness tourism initiative called the Swedish Prescription, which
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: encourages doctors to prescribe travel to Sweden as a way
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: to improve mental and physical health. It's backed by research
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: from the Carolinska Institute and Global Yugov Survey. The program
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: highlights how activities like forest bathing, sauna use, viewing the
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: northern lights, and even attending music festivals can help reduce stress,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: improve sleep boost, mood support, heart health Visit Sweden has
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: created a downloadable guide that doctors can use to recommence
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: specific experiences, from cycling scenic trails to going to museums.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: The idea is to treat travel not just as something
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: for leisure, but also as a form of therapy. I'm
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: on board with that. But is this a real thing
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: unless you're able to have your health insurance pay for it.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: That's when it becomes a real like is it a
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: prescription or is it just kind of a novelty thing.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Is it like that note that you got the doctor
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: saw or somebody to sign. Maybe your employer had to
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: sign it so that you could get the day off
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: to watch, you know, World Cup soccer. Remember those things
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: were going around. You had to try to go get
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: someone to sign it, like your middle management boss, so
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: that the people above you would give you the day
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: off to watch soccer. I mean, I'm all on board
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: for that, and I'm all on board for a trip
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: to Sweden. I'd love to go watch the Northern Lights
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: in Sweden. That sounds great. I just need to know
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: that I can pay for it with my insurance they're
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: going to cover it. That'll do it for this Friday
