- 0:02Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:06Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Friday morning, a third day of July. I'm Wes. Thanks
- 0:14Speaker 2: for joining me two hundred and fifty years ago. Today,
- 0:21Speaker 2: there's some big decisions going on, probably a lot of
- 0:25Speaker 2: consultant with the wife talking things over with mates. Do
- 0:32Speaker 2: they call them mates back then they're friends? I don't know.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Rolling into this special holiday weekend really is many of
- 0:44Speaker 2: you have today off. It's a holiday for many today
- 0:48Speaker 2: since the holiday itself falls on a Saturday, which is
- 0:51Speaker 2: pretty cool as well. Just know, like all holidays that
- 0:57Speaker 2: have a tendency to have people imbibing, you know, get
- 1:02Speaker 2: into those adult beverages. When it falls on a weekend,
- 1:10Speaker 2: there's a tendency for people to drink just a little
- 1:13Speaker 2: bit more than they even would have on a regular
- 1:17Speaker 2: old day, right, So keep that in mind. And I'm
- 1:21Speaker 2: talking about all the holiday all the big drinking holidays.
- 1:25Speaker 2: When you got Cinco de Mayo, you got Saint Patrick's Day,
- 1:30Speaker 2: Independence Day, they're just when you got them that fall
- 1:34Speaker 2: on a Saturday. When that happens in Halloween, that's another one.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Just be just be careful, just be aware there will
- 1:42Speaker 2: be people partying pretty hard. So as you're moving around
- 1:45Speaker 2: in the evening trying to see fireworks or whatever it is,
- 1:48Speaker 2: there's a few options I know here locally in Columbus
- 1:52Speaker 2: and surrounding cities part of our valley area. Then just
- 2:00Speaker 2: know the Chattooche Valley. Just know that there's options there
- 2:03Speaker 2: you can go to. But if you're going to be
- 2:04Speaker 2: moving around much, be very aware of what you've had
- 2:08Speaker 2: to drink. Is you shouldn't be driving if you have,
- 2:12Speaker 2: And then of course taking advantage of things like Uber
- 2:16Speaker 2: and lyft. And for the record, they get it wrong
- 2:19Speaker 2: in movies and TV shows. You don't call an uber
- 2:22Speaker 2: or a lyft. It's not a taxi. Taxis are options
- 2:25Speaker 2: as well. Just being real particular on this idea, you
- 2:29Speaker 2: just order up an uber. I don't know what the
- 2:31Speaker 2: terminology is. I know people say call. I know it's
- 2:34Speaker 2: not that important for some of us it is. The
- 2:37Speaker 2: semantics matter. But just know you've got options, and ideally
- 2:41Speaker 2: you're you've got a friend along that can make sure
- 2:45Speaker 2: that you know they're not drinking. They're going to make
- 2:48Speaker 2: sure you get where you want to go and this
- 2:51Speaker 2: will be us a good family holiday. So just be
- 2:53Speaker 2: aware and if fireworks are involved, and there will be
- 2:57Speaker 2: a lot of fireworks that will be part of celebrations.
- 3:02Speaker 2: This is one of those deals. Normally I'll say on
- 3:04Speaker 2: Independence Day, can we keep the fireworks till you know,
- 3:07Speaker 2: ten o'clock? But this is a big celebration. I get it.
- 3:10Speaker 2: I wish in a perfect world we'd all stop the
- 3:12Speaker 2: fireworks by ten and be done with it. But they'll
- 3:15Speaker 2: be going all night and driving dogs crazy. Keep your
- 3:20Speaker 2: dog somewhere where your dog is just as a reminder,
- 3:23Speaker 2: it's a public service. Don't have your dog where they
- 3:26Speaker 2: might freak out and somehow escape from your yard. Put
- 3:29Speaker 2: them inside if you can, put them in a place
- 3:31Speaker 2: where they can be maybe sheltered a bit from the noise.
- 3:35Speaker 2: They're gonna hear it. They have very sensitive ears. And
- 3:38Speaker 2: if you're in a neighborhood or an area where people
- 3:41Speaker 2: are going to be shooting a lot of fireworks, just
- 3:42Speaker 2: remember and if you got one of those shirts you
- 3:47Speaker 2: can put on them, those tight things that give them
- 3:51Speaker 2: an extra bit of compression. Shirts. You know, this is
- 3:53Speaker 2: the time to break those out. Just be safe, be smart,
- 3:57Speaker 2: and celebrate two hundred and fifty years of this country.
- 4:01Speaker 2: And you think back to sacrifices made two hundred and
- 4:06Speaker 2: fifty years ago. Just know there were a lot of
- 4:11Speaker 2: sacrifices made for very specific reasons. There were people that
- 4:15Speaker 2: put a lot on the line so that we could
- 4:17Speaker 2: have freedoms and not be socialist or communists. Just know,
- 4:24Speaker 2: if your tendency is to lean in that direction in
- 4:27Speaker 2: this country, you don't honor their sacrifice. The idea of
- 4:32Speaker 2: big government is something they were fighting against. If you're
- 4:35Speaker 2: for big government, then you don't even need to bother
- 4:39Speaker 2: celebrating this weekend. That's not what the founders wanted. They
- 4:43Speaker 2: were fighting against big government. So I mean, you can celebrate,
- 4:47Speaker 2: we want everybody to celebrate, but I'm just pointing out
- 4:50Speaker 2: the fact that if big government is your thing, and
- 4:52Speaker 2: if you're one of those people that's going hey and
- 4:54Speaker 2: folding your arms and I'm not going to celebrate, then
- 4:58Speaker 2: you're probably a big government person. And you know that
- 5:02Speaker 2: everything that's being celebrated this weekend is the celebration of
- 5:06Speaker 2: small government, of self government, of a truly representative form
- 5:12Speaker 2: of democracy, not a true democracy, a republic, a democratic
- 5:19Speaker 2: republic elected representatives, and that's just that's what we are,
- 5:25Speaker 2: and we've held on to it for two hundred and
- 5:27Speaker 2: fifty years. That's what we've been able to do so far.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Can we hold on for another to fifty? Can we
- 5:32Speaker 2: hold on for another fifty? Are we trying to give
- 5:35Speaker 2: it away to birthright citizenship and all that? I worry.
- 5:39Speaker 2: I worry a lot about that. I understand the importance
- 5:43Speaker 2: of birthright citizenship at a time. It's interesting that the
- 5:47Speaker 2: people that say, well, they put that in place. They
- 5:50Speaker 2: had that in place for a reason, and they wanted
- 5:53Speaker 2: it to always be in place. But let's get rid
- 5:55Speaker 2: of that second Amendment. Let's get rid of elements of
- 5:58Speaker 2: that first Amendment. So just keep all those things in mind.
- 6:03Speaker 2: I don't want to preach at you. I just want
- 6:05Speaker 2: to celebrate. I want to be happy. One more thing
- 6:08Speaker 2: before I get into my normal Friday stuff, And it's
- 6:11Speaker 2: a little personal. I've shared with you before that I
- 6:15Speaker 2: have had a number of family members on both sides
- 6:19Speaker 2: of my family with dementia issues, memory issues. I've told
- 6:24Speaker 2: you many times. I did not think anything going on
- 6:27Speaker 2: with the former President Biden was funny. I thought it
- 6:32Speaker 2: was embarrassing. I felt like he was being taken advantage of.
- 6:35Speaker 2: I think the people that were behind the scenes, taking
- 6:37Speaker 2: advantage of him with the auto pen and pushing legislation
- 6:41Speaker 2: through that at times people around him said he didn't
- 6:44Speaker 2: even know about the fact that they were choking ambient
- 6:47Speaker 2: down him. According to his son, If that's true, Hunter
- 6:50Speaker 2: Biden said that in an interview they were making him
- 6:51Speaker 2: take ambient. Seems to me like, if you're sedating the
- 6:55Speaker 2: president of the United States so that you can change
- 6:58Speaker 2: laws and whatever you want to do, if you want
- 7:02Speaker 2: to come in there and push legislation forward and from
- 7:06Speaker 2: that side as the president and auto pen signatures onto
- 7:10Speaker 2: things or executive orders, yeah then then I think that
- 7:15Speaker 2: counts as elder abuse. But you know, nobody cares what
- 7:19Speaker 2: I got to think about it. Apparently from a from
- 7:23Speaker 2: a you know, law standpoint, nobody's going to go after anybody.
- 7:28Speaker 2: But I've told you that memory issues, dementia challenges and
- 7:32Speaker 2: things have been something cognition problems have been something that
- 7:35Speaker 2: have plagued my family over the years. And I saw
- 7:40Speaker 2: this story this week and it just it made me
- 7:43Speaker 2: sad because he's a, you know, an actor that has
- 7:46Speaker 2: been in a lot of things that many of us
- 7:49Speaker 2: really like. I met Danny Glover once and tried to
- 7:54Speaker 2: coordinate getting him to Dragon con one year. I thought
- 7:57Speaker 2: we were going to be able to make that work.
- 7:59Speaker 2: It didn't. Quit might work out, But just have him
- 8:02Speaker 2: come in as a guest of mine is what I
- 8:04Speaker 2: was trying to do, and have him there to just
- 8:07Speaker 2: check it out and see if we could get him
- 8:08Speaker 2: back as a guest of the convention later. But Danny
- 8:12Speaker 2: Glover announced he's seventy nine years already announced that he
- 8:15Speaker 2: has an Alzheimer's diagnosis, and he I like what he
- 8:20Speaker 2: had to say about it. He said that life continues
- 8:23Speaker 2: despite the uncertainty of it, and that he basically said
- 8:27Speaker 2: that he's focusing on the present and trying not to
- 8:30Speaker 2: focus so much on the future, and basically encouraging others
- 8:36Speaker 2: to basically, if you have cognitive changes and issues, seek
- 8:42Speaker 2: medical advice, and that the families get affected by Alzheimer's
- 8:48Speaker 2: and that they're not alone. So you know, this is
- 8:53Speaker 2: good advice, good things to hear. And you know, we've
- 8:58Speaker 2: gone through it with my grandfather, We've gone through it
- 9:00Speaker 2: with my grandmother, We've gone through it with my uncle.
- 9:03Speaker 2: We're going through elements of it with my dad now
- 9:06Speaker 2: and seeking a really good and very patient neurologist to
- 9:14Speaker 2: help with it and for testing and things. So yeah,
- 9:17Speaker 2: I hate to hear that about Danny Glover, but glad
- 9:19Speaker 2: he's using his platform for something very positive for everybody.
- 9:25Speaker 2: All Right, we don't have a lot of time left,
- 9:26Speaker 2: but I want to get to some good news, some
- 9:28Speaker 2: positive news. I like this story a lot three year
- 9:32Speaker 2: old boy being called a hero after helping save his
- 9:35Speaker 2: great grandmother following a fall. The toddler's name Bridger Peabody,
- 9:40Speaker 2: was alone with his seventy seven year old great grandmother
- 9:43Speaker 2: when she fell outside. She hit her head on concrete
- 9:46Speaker 2: steps and could not get up. There was no phone nearby,
- 9:50Speaker 2: so she asked Bridger to retrieve it from her car.
- 9:53Speaker 2: There's a problem, though it was dark outside and the
- 9:56Speaker 2: boy was afraid of the dark. Bridger pushed through his fear,
- 9:59Speaker 2: and according to the story, he was inspired by one
- 10:04Speaker 2: of the characters from his favorite show, Paul Patrol, and
- 10:08Speaker 2: he found some courage. Security camera footage outside the house
- 10:12Speaker 2: shows him giving himself a pep talk, repeating don't be afraid.
- 10:16Speaker 2: As he walked to the car, grabbed the phone and
- 10:18Speaker 2: brought it back. That allowed his great grandmother to call
- 10:20Speaker 2: nine one one She was taken to the hospital where
- 10:23Speaker 2: she needed twenty two staples in her head and has
- 10:26Speaker 2: been recovering at home thanks in a large part to
- 10:30Speaker 2: Bridger and our friends at Paul Patrol. Love it. This
- 10:34Speaker 2: is what these news stories are all about on these days.
- 10:37Speaker 2: This is exactly what we need. But I suppose if
- 10:44Speaker 2: you do too many good things like that as a hero,
- 10:47Speaker 2: almost a superhero, you could get into some trouble. And
- 10:50Speaker 2: so we shift over to strange and bizarre news from
- 10:52Speaker 2: around the world and just below our border, our friends
- 10:56Speaker 2: in Mexico are dealing with a mysterious vigilante own is
- 11:00Speaker 2: the Mexican Batman, and he has been making headlines. In
- 11:05Speaker 2: the city of Alagos de Moreno, at least five suspected
- 11:10Speaker 2: motorcycle thieves were reportedly found duct taped to lamp posts
- 11:15Speaker 2: and left for police to discover. In one case, the
- 11:17Speaker 2: word thief was written on the suspect's forehead and a
- 11:21Speaker 2: stolen motorcycle was found nearby. Authorities investigating and stressed that
- 11:25Speaker 2: the bound men are being treated as victims while the
- 11:28Speaker 2: facts are sorted out. The incidents of spark debate online,
- 11:31Speaker 2: some praising the vigilante, other condemning the use of vigilante justice.
- 11:38Speaker 2: I mean, on one hand, but on the other, I
- 11:44Speaker 2: don't know. I think if I had the ability to
- 11:47Speaker 2: be even Mexican batman'd be hard to pass it up
- 11:51Speaker 2: if the opportunity is there. All right, we'll go back
- 11:55Speaker 2: stateside in head to Florida, where a woman in custody
- 11:58Speaker 2: on resisting arrests charges connected to a traffic stop picked
- 12:03Speaker 2: up an additional felony charge when deputies saw a bag
- 12:07Speaker 2: of cocaine fall out of her butt during the jail
- 12:10Speaker 2: intake process. I mean, where else would it fall out
- 12:16Speaker 2: of if they're doing the intake process. Well, sorry, didn't
- 12:19Speaker 2: mean to even bring that visual up, but yeah, I
- 12:21Speaker 2: guess that's one of the places that could fall out.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Isn't it.
- 12:25Speaker 2: Authorities say that a body scanner detected an abnormality, and
- 12:28Speaker 2: during a follow up search, the bag reportedly fell to
- 12:31Speaker 2: the floor. According to the Sheriff's office, thirty year old
- 12:35Speaker 2: Reagan Cox denied knowing that cocaine was there, but allegedly
- 12:38Speaker 2: told deputies it may have been left behind during an
- 12:40Speaker 2: intimate encounter. Authorities were unconvinced and charged her with introducing
- 12:47Speaker 2: contraband into a detention facility. Sheriff's office later joked about
- 12:51Speaker 2: the incident social media, writing, you really just can't make
- 12:55Speaker 2: this stuff up, but spelled with two t's, you sure
- 12:59Speaker 2: can't and try to put this in the ole. Those
- 13:08Speaker 2: are not my pants. Excuse to shame. Yeah, it does
- 13:14Speaker 2: put that to shame. Uh yeah, you know I would say, yeah,
- 13:22Speaker 2: I know they ask you you got anything that could
- 13:25Speaker 2: hurt me. When I watch a lot of those videos,
- 13:27Speaker 2: I like watching people get arrested. I like watching the
- 13:30Speaker 2: traffic stops that go south and people get there's justice involved,
- 13:34Speaker 2: because I feel like when you watch the news, you're
- 13:36Speaker 2: seeing the non justice, and then you watch these things
- 13:38Speaker 2: online and you see people actually get arrested and they say,
- 13:41Speaker 2: do you have anything on you that could hurt me,
- 13:44Speaker 2: like stab me or poke me? And then any contraband
- 13:47Speaker 2: because you know if we get to jail with it,
- 13:50Speaker 2: that's going to be another charge. Well there you go,
- 13:52Speaker 2: even if it's in your butt. Three men facing charges
- 13:56Speaker 2: in Memphis after they tried to break into prison. Investigators
- 14:01Speaker 2: say the suspects arrived at Shelby County Penal Farm at
- 14:04Speaker 2: two am, dressed in black, carrying bags filled with contraband
- 14:08Speaker 2: they hid from a patrol car, then cut through a
- 14:11Speaker 2: barberire fence and then tried to pass the bags inside
- 14:14Speaker 2: to inmates. No word if the bags were in their butts. Deputy,
- 14:19Speaker 2: I don't think they were. Deputies arrested two minute the scene.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Later tracked down a third accused of driving them. Authority
- 14:24Speaker 2: say the bags conning drugs, cell phones, vape gear, cigarettes,
- 14:28Speaker 2: other prohibited items. All three suspects now faced serious charges
- 14:32Speaker 2: and are getting used to their new surroundings inside the prison.
- 14:38Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, we know that Red had a
- 14:43Speaker 2: way of getting things at Shawshank, So I don't know.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Maybe this is one of those ways that those things
- 14:49Speaker 2: took place. A translation mistake left city officials in Ottawa, Canada,
- 14:54Speaker 2: embarrassed and scrambling to make a correction. French language posters
- 14:58Speaker 2: promoting a new city program to create public gathering spaces
- 15:02Speaker 2: accidentally use the French word for pubic instead of public,
- 15:07Speaker 2: thus announcing the creation of a so called pubic squares
- 15:11Speaker 2: in the town. The signs were part of an initiative
- 15:16Speaker 2: to close off sections of downtown for community events through
- 15:20Speaker 2: the summer and early fall. The mistake quickly spread on
- 15:22Speaker 2: social media, and organizers say the posters have now been
- 15:26Speaker 2: taken down and will be corrected. I would hope so.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Local officials called the error unacceptable, noting the importance of
- 15:32Speaker 2: getting French language messaging right in a bilingual city. Yeah,
- 15:39Speaker 2: that's kind of a big one. You know. That's a
- 15:42Speaker 2: bit of a big one. It's not everything happens in Florida.
- 15:46Speaker 2: We do have some stories in Georgia. And eighteen year
- 15:48Speaker 2: old driver in Georgia facing serious charges after deputies say
- 15:52Speaker 2: he had one hundred and thirty eight miles per hour
- 15:54Speaker 2: on I eighty five, nearly double the speed limit. Authority
- 15:59Speaker 2: say the team refused to pull over and we through traffic,
- 16:03Speaker 2: even cutting off tractor trailers at highway speed. They pursuit
- 16:07Speaker 2: ended when deputies coordinated a stop in an exit ramp
- 16:09Speaker 2: and boxed in the BMW at gunpoint. Body camera video
- 16:13Speaker 2: shows officers ordering the driver to the ground. When asked
- 16:18Speaker 2: what he was doing, he reportedly replied, what do you mean.
- 16:21Speaker 2: He's charged with speeding, reckless driving, felony, fleeing, and eluding.
- 16:25Speaker 2: No injuries reported, thankfully, but that could have been really ugly.
- 16:30Speaker 2: See it does happen in Georgia too. Today's show brought

- 18:53Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 18:57Speaker 2: to be, and you need some repair work done to
- 18:59Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 19:02Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 19:05Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
- 19:09Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 19:13Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 19:16Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen

- 19:21Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 19:25Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like

- 19:34Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 19:37Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 19:40Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped

- 19:45Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
- 19:48Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thorty five eight forty five

- 19:54Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right
- 19:59Speaker 2: after the break well There is now scientific research that
- 20:11Speaker 2: suggests that how much you like the way your partner
- 20:15Speaker 2: smells can make or break your relationship. Our bodies you
- 20:21Speaker 2: sent to pick up a healthy mate with just the
- 20:24Speaker 2: right genes and a relationship. If it's not going great
- 20:30Speaker 2: or is going great, I guess the partner's natural smell
- 20:33Speaker 2: tells your brain things are rolling, But if they're not,
- 20:35Speaker 2: then it tells you it's not rolling. In fact, just
- 20:39Speaker 2: smelling a shirt they wore can instantly lower your stress.
- 20:44Speaker 2: The flip side to all of this is that if
- 20:46Speaker 2: it does go sideways, or you stop trusting your partner,
- 20:50Speaker 2: your brain starts to rewire itself. Suddenly the exact same
- 20:53Speaker 2: smell will make you feel stressed and uptight. Experts say
- 20:58Speaker 2: that if you suddenly can stand the way your partner smells,
- 21:01Speaker 2: it's a huge warning that the relationship is in deep trouble.
- 21:05Speaker 2: I would guess. Also, perhaps it's a sign that maybe
- 21:08Speaker 2: your partner needs to take a bath. That's another part
- 21:10Speaker 2: of it. Maybe they've been eating, you know, the wrong foods.
- 21:14Speaker 2: There's a few reasons that you could not like the
- 21:17Speaker 2: reason that the way that they smell, and some possible
- 21:21Speaker 2: things behind that. Many have made bad decisions after throwing
- 21:25Speaker 2: back a few tequila shots, and some tequila experts say
- 21:29Speaker 2: that pouring that liquid gold and a shot glass is
- 21:32Speaker 2: the wrong way to drink it. They suggest using a
- 21:35Speaker 2: type of glass called a tequila flute. These specialized glasses
- 21:39Speaker 2: direct the tequila aromas toward your nose, and the stem
- 21:44Speaker 2: also prevents your hand from warming the drink too much.
- 21:49Speaker 2: So if you don't like adding the process of adding
- 21:53Speaker 2: a new glass to the dishwasher, the champagne flute will
- 21:56Speaker 2: work also as a potential substitute for this. So if
- 22:00Speaker 2: you have tequila in your weekend plans to celebrate Independence
- 22:06Speaker 2: Day and why not, you know, why wouldn't you do that?
- 22:10Speaker 2: Keep that in mind. Maybe part of your celebration this
- 22:14Speaker 2: weekend will involve watching a movie. Some people are just
- 22:18Speaker 2: going to lay low. They don't feel like getting out
- 22:20Speaker 2: into all the activities and things, and they might want
- 22:23Speaker 2: to watch a movie at home, and maybe it's time
- 22:26Speaker 2: just to enjoy a funny movie. Well, the website called
- 22:31Speaker 2: top tens has ranked the ten funniest movies of all time,
- 22:36Speaker 2: and basically a lot of classic movies on this list.
- 22:43Speaker 2: In fact, the only movie to crack the top ten
- 22:46Speaker 2: or the most recent movie to crack the top ten
- 22:50Speaker 2: is at number eight on the list as far as
- 22:53Speaker 2: the release date goes, so here they are. Top tens.
- 22:56Speaker 2: Dot Com says that the ten funniest movies of all
- 23:00Speaker 2: time in reverse order, super Bad, Blazing Saddles, the Hangover
- 23:06Speaker 2: is the two thousand and nine movie. Step Brothers is
- 23:09Speaker 2: two thousand and eight, so that's around the same time
- 23:11Speaker 2: super Bad was actually seven, so that was maybe a
- 23:13Speaker 2: sweet spot for those, So yeah, step Brothers at seven,
- 23:16Speaker 2: Happy Gilmore and the number six spot, Anchorman Borat Dumb
- 23:22Speaker 2: and Dumber, Airplane at number two, and Monty Python and
- 23:26Speaker 2: the Holy Grail holding the Sacred Holy Grail spot at
- 23:30Speaker 2: the top of the list for the funniest movie of
- 23:35Speaker 2: all time. There's some very good ones in this list.
- 23:40Speaker 2: I think, honestly, for me, the funniest movie in this
- 23:44Speaker 2: list and I love I love most of these movies,
- 23:51Speaker 2: I really do, and many of them I've seen multiple times.
- 23:57Speaker 2: But I will say this, I think, to me, the
- 24:01Speaker 2: funniest movie in the list was borre At and it's
- 24:05Speaker 2: just one of those movies that when the and I
- 24:08Speaker 2: went to an advanced screening of this thing and they
- 24:11Speaker 2: were probably about twenty to thirty people in the room
- 24:16Speaker 2: watching it, and me and my brother and I were
- 24:18Speaker 2: two of the thirty that were in there, and some
- 24:21Speaker 2: got up and walked out very early. And he and
- 24:25Speaker 2: I laughed pretty much from the opening credits through the
- 24:29Speaker 2: closing credits NonStop. Just did not even like, couldn't get
- 24:35Speaker 2: enough air, just just could not breathe. We laughed so hard.
- 24:41Speaker 2: So yeah, if you're looking for something funny over the
- 24:44Speaker 2: weekend to do and maybe not get out in the
- 24:47Speaker 2: in the crowds of the fireworks or any of that stuff.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Samsung has been the leader in making foldable phones. Now
- 24:54Speaker 2: apparently they want to make a smartphone with a rollable screen.
- 24:58Speaker 2: The phone report orderly will have a ten inch display
- 25:01Speaker 2: which slides out of the phone, and we'll expand to
- 25:04Speaker 2: a sixteen to nine aspect ratio like a tablet. Samsung
- 25:09Speaker 2: wants to have the rollable screen out for the first
- 25:11Speaker 2: half of twenty twenty eight, which marks the tenth anniversary
- 25:14Speaker 2: of the company's first foldable phone. And less than twenty
- 25:18Speaker 2: percent of Americans know how to use a manual transmission
- 25:22Speaker 2: in a car, but that number might jump up with
- 25:25Speaker 2: the news of a study out of Japan that says
- 25:26Speaker 2: using a stick shift can significantly improve brain health and
- 25:30Speaker 2: may even prevent dementia. How about this, Scientists at Tohoku
- 25:35Speaker 2: University say driving a manual car activates a prefrontal cortex
- 25:39Speaker 2: of the brain by requiring simultaneous clutch operation, gear shifting,
- 25:45Speaker 2: and accelerator control, as well as awareness of surroundings. This
- 25:48Speaker 2: helps stimulate the brain because having to access these parts
- 25:54Speaker 2: of the brain while assessing the situation and then choosing
- 25:58Speaker 2: the right gear places greater to on cognitive function than
- 26:01Speaker 2: driving an automatic transmission. Also, when I drive, I've got both.
- 26:07Speaker 2: My truck is a manual and I d have an
- 26:10Speaker 2: automatic car as well, So when I alternate between the two,
- 26:13Speaker 2: and when you're driving the automatic, you just kind of
- 26:14Speaker 2: feel lazy. You feel like there's other things you could
- 26:17Speaker 2: be doing while you're driving, shifting gears and whatnot. This
- 26:21Speaker 2: is good to know. I definitely can appreciate all of
- 26:26Speaker 2: these things as it comes to for driving. That'll do
- 26:29Speaker 2: it for this Friday edition of the show. Thanks to
