Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Monday morning, twenty sixth day of August. I'm Wes, thanks
0:14
Speaker 2: for joining me. Kicking off this I guess final week
0:22
Speaker 2: of August pretty much September, the week that rolls right
0:28
Speaker 2: into Labor Day weekend, which means dragon Con coming up
0:32
Speaker 2: this weekend. Actually it gets started on Thursday. We're going
0:35
Speaker 2: to be really technical about it. Dragon Con starts on Thursday,
0:42
Speaker 2: and that's when we'll be there, and we've got some
0:47
Speaker 2: interviews and things lined up for while we're there. We'll
0:50
Speaker 2: have be there for the whole weekend. That's what we're
0:54
Speaker 2: planning to do. I hope you had a chance to
0:56
Speaker 2: catch the dragon Con pregame show. You had some opportunity
1:00
Speaker 2: over the weekend on radio two hundred and eight radio
1:04
Speaker 2: stations something like that around the state of Georgia, and
1:08
Speaker 2: that any of those stations that were in Georgia or
1:10
Speaker 2: maybe even licensed into a state nearby also would have
1:14
Speaker 2: been at coverage in Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida.
1:20
Speaker 2: I just named all the states around. I think I
1:22
Speaker 2: named them all. So yes, opportunities to hear it throughout
1:27
Speaker 2: the weekend, many different times over the weekends, and I
1:29
Speaker 2: hope you were able to catch it. If not, the
1:31
Speaker 2: good news is there is a podcast version of the
1:35
Speaker 2: dragon Con pregame show, and what you would have heard
1:38
Speaker 2: on the radio would have been the short form version.
1:41
Speaker 2: The podcast much longer, extended interviews, extended commentary, extended suggestions
1:48
Speaker 2: on what you need to do for dragon Con this weekend.
1:53
Speaker 2: But it starts Thursday, I mean, and it's a party.
1:55
Speaker 2: It starts Thursday, it goes through Monday, and then it's
1:59
Speaker 2: Labor Day and you're back to work Tuesday. That's the
2:01
Speaker 2: way it works. And it's a huge costume party on
2:04
Speaker 2: top of everything else. So it's cosplay. It's basically every
2:09
Speaker 2: form of pop culture that you can enjoy as well
2:12
Speaker 2: as you know, things grounded in reality, whether it's actual
2:16
Speaker 2: real scientists. For example, on tomorrow's Made of Stars podcast,
2:25
Speaker 2: normally we do Made of Stars on Thursdays. We did
2:27
Speaker 2: it early this week because we've already we recorded it.
2:30
Speaker 2: Because the show, which will be available beginning tomorrow morning
2:36
Speaker 2: on the Made of Stars podcast. Right where you're picking
2:39
Speaker 2: up this show wherever you're listening to this. We have
2:41
Speaker 2: an astronaut joining us, the second time we'll have had
2:45
Speaker 2: an astronaut on Made of Stars in about a thirty
2:47
Speaker 2: day period. This time it is Katie Coleman and she
2:53
Speaker 2: is just fantastic. We had a great time talking with her,
2:57
Speaker 2: and that interview will be availab as I said tomorrow,
3:01
Speaker 2: because we could have waited and Relea stood on Thursday,
3:04
Speaker 2: but the reason we did not is because we talk
3:09
Speaker 2: about Dragon Con. Katie will be there with a large
3:12
Speaker 2: contingency of folks from NASA as well as other scientists.
3:17
Speaker 2: There are many scientists who work on TV shows, consultants
3:21
Speaker 2: for Star Trek and other doctor Aaron Oh gosh, what's
3:26
Speaker 2: her last name? Aaron McDonald? Blank in there for a second.
3:30
Speaker 2: That Shawn and I interviewed two years ago before Dragon Con.
3:35
Speaker 2: She works for Star Trek. She helps keep the science
3:39
Speaker 2: in Star Trek as real as possible. So you can
3:42
Speaker 2: go back and listen to that interview from Meta Stars
3:44
Speaker 2: from about two years ago. Wow. But she'll be there
3:48
Speaker 2: again this year, and Katie Coleman is going to be
3:51
Speaker 2: there signing copies of her book and telling stories and
3:56
Speaker 2: her books called Sharing Space an astronaut's guide to mission,
4:01
Speaker 2: and we just had a great time talking with her.
4:03
Speaker 2: You're gonna enjoy that tomorrow. A real life hero. And
4:06
Speaker 2: I like to talk about when I go to dragon
4:08
Speaker 2: Con and I meet and I've met other astronauts at
4:11
Speaker 2: dragon Con, and I like to point out there's people
4:14
Speaker 2: all around signing autographs and taking pictures with fans that
4:20
Speaker 2: dress up as heroes. This is an actual hero, a
4:24
Speaker 2: true American hero, a true world hero, if you will,
4:27
Speaker 2: someone who has spent about six months in space, lead missions,
4:34
Speaker 2: specific tasks at missions and things. She's just fantastic. Two
4:39
Speaker 2: Shuttle missions and actually it was did one soul use
4:43
Speaker 2: mission up and you know, lead teams. She's just fantastic,
4:48
Speaker 2: great time we had talking with her. Check that out
4:49
Speaker 2: on Met of Stars tomorrow, probably remind you about this
4:52
Speaker 2: tomorrow as well, and the Maid of Stars podcast with
4:58
Speaker 2: past interviews. Like I said, we talked to another astronaut
5:00
Speaker 2: about a month ago and just some great content on
5:05
Speaker 2: there about the Artemis to mission. And we talk also
5:11
Speaker 2: about a bit of news that we're going to roll
5:13
Speaker 2: into here today. But so dragon Con Pregame show and
5:16
Speaker 2: Made of Stars, two other podcasts you should be listening
5:18
Speaker 2: to quickly. I just want to touch base on this,
5:21
Speaker 2: and again Made of Stars will have plenty of coverage
5:24
Speaker 2: about it. But the astronauts who went up on the
5:27
Speaker 2: star Liner. You've been hearing about this on the news
5:29
Speaker 2: probably for a while. They went up on a Boeing's
5:34
Speaker 2: rocket up there on the star Liner craft. They're docked,
5:36
Speaker 2: they've been saying, or are they stuck? Are they not stuck? Well,
5:39
Speaker 2: it seems NASA has decided it isn't our best interest
5:43
Speaker 2: not to have them come home on the star Liner
5:48
Speaker 2: craft as planned, so they will stay put and hitch
5:52
Speaker 2: a ride back to Earth in February with the latest
5:58
Speaker 2: SpaceX crew Dragon, the number nine. They're going up in September,
6:06
Speaker 2: so they'll go up, and the two astronauts who are
6:10
Speaker 2: effectively it's a word I haven't been comfortable using because
6:14
Speaker 2: it was being used before it was the case, but
6:17
Speaker 2: apparently now they are effectively stuck. And to say that
6:20
Speaker 2: they're stuck, all it means is they're getting more time
6:24
Speaker 2: in space on the International Space Station doing work and
6:28
Speaker 2: they enjoy that. And that conversation is part of what
6:31
Speaker 2: we talked with Katie Coleman about. Okay, so last week.
6:35
Speaker 2: I guess it was probably Thursday. We had gotten a
6:38
Speaker 2: little bit of the news that it was about to happen,
6:42
Speaker 2: and that was the news that we were going to
6:45
Speaker 2: lose a candidate in this race. No, not Joe Biden.
6:49
Speaker 2: Biden was already out by that point. We were going
6:52
Speaker 2: to lose RFK Junior as the third party candidate for president,
6:57
Speaker 2: and we talked about that on Thursday. Briefly it seemed
6:59
Speaker 2: like it was about to happen. It happened officially on Friday,
7:03
Speaker 2: taking himself out of the race and then endorsing Donald Trump.
7:09
Speaker 2: Kennedy lost astray from the Democrat Party who is endorsing
7:15
Speaker 2: the Republican candidate for president and welcomed by Republicans, welcomed
7:22
Speaker 2: by people who actually say, hey, a democratic process is great.
7:28
Speaker 2: We need to elect the people. We don't need to
7:31
Speaker 2: have people chosen to like, for example, I don't know
7:34
Speaker 2: to be the candidate for president, because Joe Biden was
7:39
Speaker 2: picked by voters and he was pushed out the door
7:42
Speaker 2: in favor of Kamala Harris and so yes, if you're
7:46
Speaker 2: really going to scream that Donald Trump would bring about
7:48
Speaker 2: the end of democracy, I think you have to acknowledge
7:52
Speaker 2: the fact that you've taken the democratic process out of
7:56
Speaker 2: your primary one by not even having a which is
8:01
Speaker 2: part of why you're in this RFK Junior mess to
8:04
Speaker 2: begin with. He said, give me an opportunity. Mary Anne
8:08
Speaker 2: Williamson said, give me an opportunity. I'd like to run.
8:11
Speaker 2: I don't think Joe Biden is still capable of doing
8:14
Speaker 2: this job and leadership on the Democrat side, members of
8:19
Speaker 2: the Biden cabinet said, he is more vigorous and vibrant
8:24
Speaker 2: than all of us. He runs circles around all of
8:27
Speaker 2: us every day, and we all saw what he was doing.
8:29
Speaker 2: We knew he wasn't really doing that, but they lied
8:32
Speaker 2: to us repeatedly. Kamala Harris lied to us, complicit in
8:36
Speaker 2: this big cover up. Again. We hear all the time, Oh,
8:40
Speaker 2: you're just falling victim, You're just falling prey to these
8:44
Speaker 2: conspiracy theories. That is just a conspiracy theory. If you
8:48
Speaker 2: honestly believe that Joe Biden isn't more than capable of
8:52
Speaker 2: being president for four more years because he's so vibrant
8:56
Speaker 2: and so sharp and quick witted in all those things.
9:00
Speaker 2: But he wasn't, and we saw it play out in
9:03
Speaker 2: the debate. It was embarrassing. It was embarrassing as an
9:08
Speaker 2: American citizen to see a president of the United States
9:10
Speaker 2: behaving the way that he was, realizing that he's not
9:13
Speaker 2: fit to do the job. Now, So what did they do?
9:17
Speaker 2: They forced him out. They didn't give him an option.
9:20
Speaker 2: They pushed him out the door and made him bend
9:23
Speaker 2: the knee. And then they praised him. They praised him
9:27
Speaker 2: at the DNC. Oh, what a great He's so amazing.
9:30
Speaker 2: He should be on Mount Rushmore. I heard someone. I
9:33
Speaker 2: wish I could give the person credit. I heard someone
9:35
Speaker 2: say the other day that they should put him on
9:37
Speaker 2: Mount Rushmore and he should be you sniffing the hair
9:42
Speaker 2: of one of the other people on Melfs. I thought,
9:45
Speaker 2: that's pretty good. I wish I could give credit. It's
9:47
Speaker 2: not my joke. I heard someone say it or repeat it.
9:50
Speaker 2: I don't know where it came from. It's a good line, though.
9:54
Speaker 2: So they said always should be on Mount Rushmore because
9:56
Speaker 2: he was brave enough to step down at a time
9:59
Speaker 2: when America needed him to to save democracy, to save America,
10:06
Speaker 2: that's what he did. He was willing to make that
10:08
Speaker 2: sacrifice for all of us. And then They let him
10:12
Speaker 2: speak on the first night of the DNC at eleven
10:15
Speaker 2: thirty at night, way past his bedtime. We all know,
10:18
Speaker 2: we've already heard he's got like a four hour window
10:21
Speaker 2: every day to do anything, so they pushed him way
10:24
Speaker 2: past all of that. He spoke. I guess he did
10:27
Speaker 2: better than during the debate. I don't know. As long
10:30
Speaker 2: as he's reading a prompter, he's all right. And then
10:32
Speaker 2: we just kind of get Kamala Hanah shoved right into it.
10:35
Speaker 2: You're just gonna let her have it. We're not gonna
10:37
Speaker 2: any these other people that actually said that they were running,
10:40
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. We're gonna let her run. And then we're
10:42
Speaker 2: going to have all the media gush over her how
10:45
Speaker 2: great she is. They're going to tell us that she's amazing,
10:47
Speaker 2: she's wonderful, and she's gonna pick a guy who a
10:51
Speaker 2: compulsive liar, apparently to be her running mate, caught again
10:56
Speaker 2: claiming an award he won from some chamber of commerce
10:59
Speaker 2: that to Nope, that's not true, you didn't win that.
11:02
Speaker 2: You don't have any awards from us. Please take down
11:05
Speaker 2: the line, get rid of it. So that's what we're
11:08
Speaker 2: dealing with. And then they call the Republicans weirdos because
11:12
Speaker 2: they believe in actually, you know, having the voters select
11:15
Speaker 2: who the candidate is and then letting the voters decide
11:18
Speaker 2: who the winner is, you know, just letting the actual
11:22
Speaker 2: voters decide who the winner is. Are we going to
11:25
Speaker 2: get that? Is that going to be something that we're
11:29
Speaker 2: going to see play out? Because we're already getting a
11:31
Speaker 2: repeat of the strategy from four years ago when Biden
11:36
Speaker 2: just kind of didn't talk to anybody, laid low. Harris
11:40
Speaker 2: kind of doing the same thing when they ask her
11:44
Speaker 2: questions when she stop and talks to the press. The
11:46
Speaker 2: questions are things like, they say, you're not going to
11:49
Speaker 2: talk to us, what are your thoughts on that? Well,
11:51
Speaker 2: here I am talking to you, and I'm really glad
11:53
Speaker 2: to be talking to you. Yeah, but what do you
11:55
Speaker 2: think about what they said? Well, you know, I'm obviously
11:57
Speaker 2: talking to you. Thanks a lot, and then she walks away.
12:01
Speaker 2: She's not being pressed, she's not being challenged, she's not
12:04
Speaker 2: being questioned. Nobody's asking her about the things that she
12:07
Speaker 2: stood for when she tried to run for president four
12:10
Speaker 2: years ago. It's really really sad, but not as sad
12:16
Speaker 2: as this. This to me has to be And this
12:22
Speaker 2: hurts because we get into this political season where there's
12:27
Speaker 2: people that we like, you know, entertainers, musicians, there's people
12:33
Speaker 2: that we like, and then they stand up for the
12:37
Speaker 2: other candidate, They stand up for the other party, they
12:39
Speaker 2: stand up for something that you don't necessarily believe in,
12:44
Speaker 2: and they say things that are kind of embarrassing. I understand.
12:48
Speaker 2: We have this political thing that happens where bands say, hey,
12:52
Speaker 2: you're playing our music. You don't have permission to do that.
12:55
Speaker 2: We don't support you, so you can't use our music badly.
13:00
Speaker 2: That's just part of it. It's just part of the dance.
13:03
Speaker 2: It's frustrating. I like the Foo Fighters. They didn't like
13:06
Speaker 2: the fact that I guess the Trump team was playing
13:10
Speaker 2: my hero by the Foo Fighters when RFK Junior came out,
13:16
Speaker 2: didn't like it. Gave them a cease and desist, which
13:18
Speaker 2: I guess is the strategy to do it once. There's
13:21
Speaker 2: an old expression that we would say about people say
13:24
Speaker 2: about radio and you say, like, you know, you can
13:26
Speaker 2: say anything on the radio live once you know you
13:31
Speaker 2: can't say that, Well, you can say it once and
13:33
Speaker 2: then that's probably it. That's probably and that's the way
13:35
Speaker 2: it is. With the season desist.
13:37
Speaker 1: If you do it.
13:37
Speaker 2: Once and they tell you to stop, well they don't
13:40
Speaker 2: do it again. I can't imagine they want to, you know,
13:43
Speaker 2: put any more food fighters out there or whatever. But
13:46
Speaker 2: I like the band. It's complicated, isn't it. You want
13:49
Speaker 2: to like them and support them, but you know, what
13:51
Speaker 2: are you gonna do? Either listen to their music and
13:55
Speaker 2: support a candidate for president that you don't support, or
13:59
Speaker 2: you know, indirectly because that's what you're doing anytime you
14:02
Speaker 2: give them money. That's what it's called. Anyway. So I
14:05
Speaker 2: like Ben Stiller. But did you see Ben Stiller did
14:08
Speaker 2: a he was trying to raise some money for Kamala
14:10
Speaker 2: Harris and he said, this is great. He said, I'm
14:15
Speaker 2: so genuinely excited about the potential to actually win this election.
14:21
Speaker 2: Referring to Kamala Harris being in he says, what's happened
14:24
Speaker 2: in the last couple of weeks just the turn of
14:26
Speaker 2: the tide, and that, you know, Vice President Harris can
14:29
Speaker 2: actually win this thing if we just if we all
14:32
Speaker 2: just rally around and really take advantage of this incredible energy.
14:38
Speaker 2: I just want a decent person in the White House,
14:40
Speaker 2: you know, a person who cares about democracy more than themselves,
14:43
Speaker 2: who doesn't lie? Nice? Nice? Those two back to back
14:49
Speaker 2: are so perfect. And then itself is a lie, right,
14:53
Speaker 2: A person who cares about democracy, who did not get
14:57
Speaker 2: you know, four years ago, was not selected in the primary,
15:02
Speaker 2: and hasn't had anyone cast a vote for her. No
15:06
Speaker 2: citizen has cast a vote for her. You know, they
15:08
Speaker 2: went through their process as far as you know her
15:11
Speaker 2: getting the nomination, but you know citizens didn't vote for
15:15
Speaker 2: and doesn't lie. Who's not fomenting anger and rage? Someone
15:22
Speaker 2: who cares about people, And that's what Kamala Harris is.
15:26
Speaker 2: And he says she's like a human being and acts
15:28
Speaker 2: like a human being. She has empathy, she has humor,
15:32
Speaker 2: and it's beautiful when she laughs because she's a real
15:35
Speaker 2: person who's reacting to things. I don't guess he's actually
15:38
Speaker 2: heard her laugh, the very robotic thing that she does.
15:42
Speaker 2: And he says she wants to put an end to
15:43
Speaker 2: gun violence in this country, and the fact that she's
15:46
Speaker 2: going to fight for a woman's right to choose. All
15:49
Speaker 2: these things that he likes about her. We haven't even
15:51
Speaker 2: gotten to the really weird part. Because this gets weirder,
15:53
Speaker 2: and it's coming up. And this may tie into this
15:55
Speaker 2: whole selection of this VP pick and not going with
16:01
Speaker 2: the Jewish guy, but I just quickly want to point
16:04
Speaker 2: out it's kind of silly to say that she wants
16:07
Speaker 2: to put it into gun violence. In this guy. Everybody
16:09
Speaker 2: wants to put it into gun violence. Everybody wants to
16:12
Speaker 2: Everybody has different ideas about how you do that. One
16:15
Speaker 2: side says, let's, you know, get rid of all the
16:18
Speaker 2: guns and then only the criminals have them, because they're
16:22
Speaker 2: going to have guns. Even the criminals right now that
16:25
Speaker 2: aren't supposed to have guns, some of them have guns.
16:29
Speaker 2: You know. You hear about, Oh, that convicted felon shot
16:32
Speaker 2: up a place. Yeah, but he wasn't supposed to have
16:34
Speaker 2: a gun. So some have that strategy, and some say
16:37
Speaker 2: we need to protect ourselves and enforce the laws that
16:40
Speaker 2: are in place and do a better job of that.
16:43
Speaker 2: But here comes the funt part. I'm Jewish and Irish.
16:47
Speaker 2: He says, I wish I was black. Every white Jewish
16:51
Speaker 2: guy wishes he was black. It's just get out there
16:55
Speaker 2: and vote and donate and like take advantage. So we
17:01
Speaker 2: know that Shapiro was the better strategic pick. We know
17:05
Speaker 2: that he probably has a lot more character. He has
17:09
Speaker 2: a lot more it probably has a cleaner resume as
17:14
Speaker 2: far as blemishes. He's never claimed he was something in
17:16
Speaker 2: the military that he wasn't. He's never talked about seeing combat,
17:21
Speaker 2: you know, action in combat when he didn't. He hasn't
17:25
Speaker 2: claimed any awards from Chambers of Commerce. So Shapiro was
17:31
Speaker 2: the better pick. He gave her the better chance of
17:34
Speaker 2: bringing home Pennsylvania. And I know they're saying Pennsylvania's in play,
17:37
Speaker 2: and all these states are back in play, and that's
17:39
Speaker 2: you know, you're gonna get your surge, your honeymoon period,
17:42
Speaker 2: your surge. The election really starts now. It actually probably
17:46
Speaker 2: really started on Friday with the RFK junior announcement. That
17:51
Speaker 2: was a great strategic move by the Trump campaign. That
17:54
Speaker 2: and of course patching things up apparently with Georgia Governor
17:57
Speaker 2: Kemp because that little feud Trump taking shots at Brian
18:03
Speaker 2: Kemp wasn't getting anything done. He needs a united front
18:07
Speaker 2: and that was a big one. That's a big one.
18:10
Speaker 2: Good for both of them. If this happened the way
18:12
Speaker 2: that we're all hearing it, great, that's what needs to
18:14
Speaker 2: that needed to happen. But back to this comment, I'm
18:18
Speaker 2: Jewish and Irish. I wish I was black. Every white
18:20
Speaker 2: Jewish guy wishes he was black. I know he was
18:24
Speaker 2: trying to be funny, but is there some element of
18:27
Speaker 2: truth there? As we're now in an era where we're
18:31
Speaker 2: seeing the Democrat Party turn away from Israel, turn away
18:36
Speaker 2: from its Jewish voting blog. And I'm sorry, I don't
18:39
Speaker 2: typically sit here and tell you who to vote for.
18:41
Speaker 2: But if you're Jewish and you're still voting Democrat, I
18:45
Speaker 2: don't know what you're thinking. I don't know what's going
18:47
Speaker 2: through your mind. If you think this party still cares
18:50
Speaker 2: about you. There's a lot of Black Americans that are
18:52
Speaker 2: coming around as saying, wait a minute, they don't care
18:54
Speaker 2: about me. They're worried about people coming across the border,
18:57
Speaker 2: and that's who they're focusing all their attention on. They
19:00
Speaker 2: promised us things were going to be better when we
19:02
Speaker 2: put Biden in, and it's not. They promised us that
19:06
Speaker 2: having a black vice president was going to be better
19:08
Speaker 2: for us or I don't even know that they were
19:10
Speaker 2: calling her that then. I don't know. I'm still in
19:12
Speaker 2: this club of She was very proud of her Indian heritage,
19:16
Speaker 2: and she should be proud of both this mixed race thing.
19:19
Speaker 2: That's where we need to be biracial. Why not embrace it,
19:23
Speaker 2: But don't just embrace it when you're in a southern state,
19:26
Speaker 2: or you're standing in Atlanta, or you're standing in front
19:28
Speaker 2: of a crowd of you know, a black caucus group.
19:31
Speaker 2: Don't just embrace it. Then embrace it all the time,
19:35
Speaker 2: but also embrace the Indian heritage, all of it. Anyway,
19:39
Speaker 2: so they've moved away, they've moved away from they assume
19:45
Speaker 2: that both of those groups are going to vote for them.
19:48
Speaker 2: They don't have to court you. They have to court
19:51
Speaker 2: they think now the Hispanic vote, because they've lost quite
19:54
Speaker 2: a bit of it, and now they're a little confused
19:56
Speaker 2: about why these other groups might go. I don't know,
19:58
Speaker 2: maybe because you're not standing with Israel. Maybe because you're
20:04
Speaker 2: more focused on people coming across the border than you
20:08
Speaker 2: are on this block of black voters that you've had
20:12
Speaker 2: for a long time. And now they're starting to say, hey,
20:16
Speaker 2: what have you done for us lately? And they should
20:18
Speaker 2: be asking that both of those groups should because the
20:22
Speaker 2: answer ultimately is not a whole lot. Today's show brought
20:24
Speaker 2: to you by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science
20:28
Speaker 2: Center inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders
20:34
Speaker 2: and STEM career holders that really of all ages. I
20:38
Speaker 2: mean they do it for school age kids as school
20:41
Speaker 2: age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but
20:44
Speaker 2: they also do it through their university programs where you
20:47
Speaker 2: can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space
20:53
Speaker 2: and STEM fields are booming right now. And you can
20:56
Speaker 2: learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website
21:01
Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out some
21:07
Speaker 2: of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that
21:12
Speaker 2: they do with the schwob School of Music from Columbus
21:14
Speaker 2: State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any
21:18
Speaker 2: concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one
21:21
Speaker 2: of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
21:24
Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
21:27
Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
21:33
Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
21:37
Speaker 2: Science Center. And the new season of Music under the Dome.
21:40
Speaker 2: Check out upcoming dates for the shows and also check
21:45
Speaker 2: out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up, where you
21:47
Speaker 2: can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola
21:51
Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
21:55
Speaker 2: city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you
21:57
Speaker 2: can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events also
22:00
Speaker 2: on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan
22:05
Speaker 2: says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind
22:09
Speaker 2: you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center
22:13
Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
22:17
Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
22:20
Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
22:27
Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
22:30
Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
22:34
Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
22:37
Speaker 2: squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you
22:40
Speaker 2: can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
22:42
Speaker 2: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
22:45
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
22:49
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
22:51
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
22:54
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
22:57
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
23:01
Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder, warmer weather, sometimes that
23:05
Speaker 2: stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at
23:08
Speaker 2: a situation where you'd like to add a screen door
23:11
Speaker 2: to your garage door system that you can put down
23:13
Speaker 2: and you can use your garage space as a sort
23:17
Speaker 2: of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to
23:19
Speaker 2: work on your own cars in there, or maybe you
23:22
Speaker 2: just want a little man cavid you'd like to be
23:24
Speaker 2: able to open the door up and not invite all
23:26
Speaker 2: the insects in. They can do that for you as well,
23:29
Speaker 2: and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse
23:32
Speaker 2: than that thought of having your car trapped inside your
23:35
Speaker 2: garage and your garage door won't open and you need
23:37
Speaker 2: somebody to come help, and they do those as well.

23:51
Speaker 2: break forget check out the Dragon Con pregame show podcast
24:02
Speaker 2: powered by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science, and
24:06
Speaker 2: I forgot to say that in the last segment, so
24:08
Speaker 2: I said it. There it is, and we appreciate them
24:11
Speaker 2: sponsoring our coverage at dragon Con every year. The CEO
24:16
Speaker 2: of Novo Nordisk is defending its companies high costs of
24:22
Speaker 2: we go Vi and Ozempic did an interview with NBC
24:26
Speaker 2: Nightly News. The CEO Lars Free Reguard Jorgensen. I thought
24:31
Speaker 2: Regard was his last name, No, that's his middle name.
24:34
Speaker 2: He said, the high cost of the prescription drugs is
24:36
Speaker 2: actually helping Americans reduce the amount of money they have
24:38
Speaker 2: to contribute to obesity. He said, if you just look
24:41
Speaker 2: at the cost of obesity in the US, it's a
24:43
Speaker 2: disease that costs Americans more than four hundred billion a year,
24:47
Speaker 2: and we're actually providing products that's actually helping take this
24:52
Speaker 2: cost burden off. So it's okay to raise the price,
24:56
Speaker 2: he says, in the name of lowering the price of
25:01
Speaker 2: what you're spending on keeping yourself obese. So yeah, we
25:07
Speaker 2: go Vy and ozembic, both things that you know a
25:11
Speaker 2: lot of people are using not to lose weight. That's
25:13
Speaker 2: what they're trying to do, all right, dorm rooms popping up,
25:19
Speaker 2: you know, people going back to school. People are back
25:22
Speaker 2: in school. It's happening well. Dorm rooms and luxury don't
25:26
Speaker 2: typically go together, but that's a new trend sweeping social
25:31
Speaker 2: media as students transforming their dorm spaces into stylish havens
25:36
Speaker 2: with custom artworks, chandeliers, plush rugs, and more. How do
25:41
Speaker 2: you put a chandelier in there? I mean it's going
25:45
Speaker 2: to require some electrical right. Some parents sparing no expense
25:49
Speaker 2: hiring designers to turn their kids room into a dream dorm,
25:52
Speaker 2: while others are getting creative a DIY projects. In one
25:56
Speaker 2: video circulating on social media one point seven million views,
26:01
Speaker 2: a designer showing off a dorm room that she decorated
26:03
Speaker 2: for two college students that features a bark Art, custom art,
26:08
Speaker 2: a couch and throw pillows, and a glass coffee table.
26:11
Speaker 2: It's pretty exquisite. That's nice. Sounds like, I guess this
26:15
Speaker 2: is the video I can see here and they're showing
26:17
Speaker 2: it off, so good work, I guess. More and more
26:21
Speaker 2: people are opening up about the idea of eating insects
26:23
Speaker 2: as an alternative source to protein. I don't think so,
26:26
Speaker 2: but some people maybe are. At least you get these
26:29
Speaker 2: new stories that tell you more and more are and
26:32
Speaker 2: although you maybe aren't. Apparently bugs are becoming more insects,
26:39
Speaker 2: I guess is the right way to say it too.
26:41
Speaker 2: I know they're saying bugs, but really it should be insects,
26:43
Speaker 2: shouldn't it becoming more popular on plates? So here people
26:48
Speaker 2: that are eating things like crickets and meal worms. Researchers
26:51
Speaker 2: looked at a number of factors, including Google searches for
26:54
Speaker 2: edible insects, the types of edible insects that are available,
26:58
Speaker 2: and the number of restaurants, and they found that California
27:02
Speaker 2: is the top state for eating bugs. What a shock,
27:05
Speaker 2: seventeen edible species, twenty one restaurants serving them. New York
27:09
Speaker 2: was number two, North Carolina, Minnesota, Florida, Virginia, Massachusetts, Illoway,
27:14
Speaker 2: Georgia was at number nine. That's really why I brought
27:17
Speaker 2: this up, and Ohio at number ten. I've eaten them.
27:22
Speaker 2: I've eaten mealworms, I've eaten crickets. I didn't do it
27:26
Speaker 2: for the sake of the environment. I didn't do it
27:28
Speaker 2: for the sake of you know, thinking that I was
27:30
Speaker 2: somehow cutting back calfarts or whatever. At the time, either
27:35
Speaker 2: I or my wife were working at Oxville Meadow's Environmental
27:38
Speaker 2: Learning Center and we were, you know, having events. We
27:41
Speaker 2: had an insect festival that I was either while employed
27:46
Speaker 2: there for a period handling their marketing in PR or
27:50
Speaker 2: while I was working in radio helping to host those events. Yeah,
27:55
Speaker 2: the opportunity came up. Dee Armstrong and I shared a
27:59
Speaker 2: chocolate chirp cookie, which was a chocolate chip cookie with
28:02
Speaker 2: crickets in it, and she and I both split one
28:04
Speaker 2: of those, and you know, it was fine. I wouldn't
28:09
Speaker 2: want to replace my normal protein. I'd rather just have beans.
28:14
Speaker 2: If I'm getting rid of the meat for my protein sources,
28:18
Speaker 2: I would just go with beans. And I know that
28:20
Speaker 2: they would say, well, we don't have enough beans for it,
28:22
Speaker 2: and I say, well, in that case, so maybe we
28:23
Speaker 2: should eat some of the other proteins like the meats.
28:26
Speaker 2: But I know there's parts of the world where they
28:28
Speaker 2: eat bugs. Insects is what it should say. But still anyway,
28:33
Speaker 2: interesting though that California and New York at the top
28:36
Speaker 2: of the list. Not a big shock, not a big surprise,
28:38
Speaker 2: I don't think. Twenty five year old man from Portland, Oregon,
28:41
Speaker 2: was arrested after urinating in the aisle during a flight.
28:44
Speaker 2: The man, who said he had to relieve himself because
28:47
Speaker 2: the seat belt sign was on, admitted to police that
28:50
Speaker 2: he'd had several whiskies before getting on the flight and
28:54
Speaker 2: drink even more on his layover in Chicago. The flight
28:58
Speaker 2: originally headed to Manchester, New Hampshire, had to make an
29:01
Speaker 2: emergency landing in Buffalo because of the impromptu bathroom break.
29:05
Speaker 2: The man who was arrested for decent exposure claimed in
29:09
Speaker 2: the criminal complaint that he had a medical urination problem.
29:12
Speaker 2: That was a Seinfeld plot, wasn't it. That was a
29:15
Speaker 2: Seinfeld plot. I believe, you know, make it into a
29:18
Speaker 2: medical emergency and then that's your excuse. And finally, if
29:23
Speaker 2: you want to make your water taste like ice cream,
29:26
Speaker 2: here you go. There's a notorious water brand called Liquid
29:30
Speaker 2: Death is teamed up with Van Lewin ice Cream for
29:36
Speaker 2: and they're known for quirky flavors like Kraft mac and
29:38
Speaker 2: cheese pizza and others. And they've teamed up for a
29:41
Speaker 2: hot fudge Sunday Sparkling Water. A limited edition flavor is
29:45
Speaker 2: available online from Liquid Death and Amazon and at some
29:49
Speaker 2: select Van Lewin ice cream shops. I don't know of any.
29:52
Speaker 2: If you're in a listening area here and you know
29:55
Speaker 2: where there's a Van Lewin nearby, you can let us know.
29:58
Speaker 2: But I guess it's already sold out in most of
30:00
Speaker 2: the actual store, so you have to try to find
30:01
Speaker 2: it online. So hot fudge Sunday flavored sparkling water, if
30:06
Speaker 2: that's your thing, you know. I don't know. I would
30:10
Speaker 2: think it needed to be milk. I just think if
30:12
Speaker 2: it's gonna taste like ice cream, it should be like
30:16
Speaker 2: a milk base. I don't know that I want it
30:17
Speaker 2: to be a water base. That'll do it for this
30:20
Speaker 2: Monday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons.
30:24
Speaker 2: Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
