  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the Wes
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carroll Morning Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, 25th day of September. I'm Wes. Thanks for
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: joining me. First and foremost, just a little bit of
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: celebrity stuff. And I know it's Friday and we don't
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: really get into like a heavy stuff, but I just
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: saw a story, and this is not to be all
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: gossipy or anything. I just thought it was interesting that
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: this happened because we've now had, I guess, two... I
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: don't know about the third kid. I know there was
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Zachary Ty Bryan, who's been in and out of jail
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a few times, and he came out as a conservative,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: you know, and then they really went after him. Like,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: they were just going after that guy. And then... Now,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor Thomas arrested for public intoxication after a traffic
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: stop in California. And so that's two of the three
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: kids from Home Improvement, you know, that have had some problems.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: And famously, you know, Tim Allen, before he became famous,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: sorry to use famous two different ways, two different versions
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: of it. An adverb. Anyway, so he was arrested a
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: long time ago for cocaine possession, I guess with intent
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: to sell or whatever it was, some cocaine charge. And
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: that was kind of the thing that he turned his
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: life around and then became a comedian, got a number
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: one sitcom, hired these two guys, and then now they
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: got some issues. So hopefully maybe they'll have the same,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: like they turn their life around after whatever they got
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: going on. It's just interesting to me that like you got,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: you know, and I know this is kind of true
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: with child stars, but we've had a little streak now
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: where I think we've maybe had more child stars like
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: walk in the straight and narrow than not so much.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I may be wrong on that. That's just how it feels.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: It feels like, For every, you know, Zachary Ty Bryan,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: there's like, you know, I don't know, 20 Hillary Duffs,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: you know. I know we got Shia LaBeouf. I know
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: that there's been some of those. I'm not saying, I'm
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: just pointing out the fact that it feels like some
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: of these kids maybe had a different experience growing up
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: or whatever. But anyway, I interviewed Jonathan Taylor Thomas years
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: ago on radio. He was doing a guest appearance on
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the show Smallville. So the fact that he has popped
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: up back in the news reminds me that he was,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: in fact, on an episode or two of Smallville, like
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: a guest appearance. And that's what he was promoting when
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I interviewed him. And so I have to now add
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: that to my list of Smallville people that I have interviewed.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I know you were wondering, but You can check out
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: some of my Smallville people that I've interviewed on the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Dragon Con pregame show, on the Dragon Con pregame show podcast,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: powered by Columbus State University's Coca-Cola Space Science Center. But
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: some of those interviews are there for you, just waiting,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: just there, just sitting there waiting for you. But anyway,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: he was a nice kid. You know, that was a
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: long time ago. That was like 20-something years ago when
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: he was on Smallville. maybe 23, 24 years ago. So
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: it's been a minute. But, you know, I hope for
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the best for him. You hate to hear this, but
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I just thought it was interesting that we now have two.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: And that other kid may have had some trouble. I
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: don't know. He kind of played the one on the
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: show that seemed like he was going to be trouble.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: So it's interesting that maybe the other two are the trouble. But,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you know, they're just people dealing with some stuff. I'm
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: not judging. I hope that they get things together. It
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: is Friday, and on Friday, we begin our Fridays with
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: some positive news. Some good news. You know, things to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: go into the weekend thinking, hey, maybe the world's not
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: so jacked up. It is jacked up, but these are
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: some things that we can smile about at the very least. First,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: a man in Boise, Idaho. He was homeless, and he
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: had addiction. And he won a $ 200, 000 prize on a
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: lottery ticket. And the first thing that he did, what
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: sounds like a tithing act here, is he gave $ 20, 000
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: back to the shelter that helped him get his life
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: on track. He's keeping his name anonymous, but he went
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: into the interfaith sanctuary shelter. gave him 10% of that
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: cash prize, told the staff he wanted to thank them
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: for saving his life, and thanks to care and compassion
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: he received at the shelter. Sober now for over two
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: years and living in his own home. The director of
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the shelter, Jody Peterson, said the donation is the largest
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: monetary gift ever received from a former shelter guest and
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: will fund about 500 nights of care to those in
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: need in the community. Well done, sir, whatever your name is.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I think Jody Peterson knows his name. So maybe at
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the very least, she could pass along her kudos. So
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: back in December, there was a 200-foot-wide wildlife bridge, largest
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: in North America, opened over Interstate 25 in Colorado with
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the goal of keeping animals and drivers safe. These are
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the numbers now at almost 10 months in. And basically...
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: They say that this is a success, this bridge, because
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: collisions involving animals have dropped by 91% with cameras catching
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: herds of elk, bears, pronghorn, coyotes, all just safely going
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: across the bridge. How are they trained to do that?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But they're trained to do that. They
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: figured it out. Well, not trained, but naturally they figured
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: it out. Wildlife officials have reported smaller critters like frogs
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and mice enjoying safe travels. A special log path is
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: designed to protect them from predators. Those involved with the
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: project still working to make the bridge even more inviting
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: by adding vegetation, which could improve the safety numbers even
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: further in the months and years to come. Again, I
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: don't know how it works, but nicely done. The animals
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: have figured it out. They're smarter than maybe we give
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: them credit for. Finally, one more animal story. A 54-year-old
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: chimp in Louisiana named Pierre is seeing the world again
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: after a successful cataract surgery. Pierre had gone completely blind,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: forcing his devoted care team to train him using sound cues,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: positive reinforcement, so he can learn how to function in
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: captivity at Chimp Haven. The care team brought in a
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: top veterinary eye surgeon, and the procedure was a huge success.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Within hours, Pierre was visually recognizing his favorite human caregivers,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: and within days, he was back hanging out with his
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: best chimp pal, Jill. I got one of those. She's
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: not a chimp. She's not a chimp. She's not a chimp.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Don't tell her I said that. Staff at Chimp Haven,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: who I'm saying a best pal, Jill. Right? Not a chimp.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: The staff at Chimp Haven who have known Pierre for
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: over 25 years say watching him look back at them
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: for the first time in years was an unforgettable moment
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: and thrilled that he continues to reconnect with people, chimpanzees,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and activities familiar to him. Nice! I love stories like this.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: He's a chimp and he can see again. Especially his
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: good pal Jill. Mine is not a chimp. Now for
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: some strange and bizarre news from around the world. Let's
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: start in Florida, shall we? Where a man faces hit
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and run charges after authorities say his own iPhone helped
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: lead deputies right to him. Investigators in Lee County say
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Christopher Brewer crashed his Tesla into a light pole in
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: two trees, causing an estimated $ 20, 000 in damages. Maybe that
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: guy who won the lottery has another $ 20, 000 he can spare.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Deputies say Brewer left the scene, but his iPhone's crash
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: detection feature automatically called 911 when it sensed the collision.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: According to Apple, the feature contacts emergency services if the
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: user does not respond within 30 seconds of a detected crash.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Deputies later tracked Brewer down at a nearby home after
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: learning he had not gone to the hospital as reported
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: and charged with hit and run. Crash detection is a
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: serious business. I remember one day knowing that my brother
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Matt was at Disney and I knew he had been
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: there all day. And then I got a message saying
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: that he was involved in a car accident. And I thought,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: my gosh, what happened at Disney? You know, how did
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: this happen? And then I called him and he answered
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: and he said, oh, he was on a ride or
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: something that jolted him around in a certain way. And
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: then he didn't turn it off in time. So that's
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: what it was. Makes sense. I don't know if they've
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: fine-tuned that. It hasn't happened again since, and he's been
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: back to Disney since, certainly. So anyway, it was just
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: a weird, like, what? And I was looking, kind of
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: telling me where he is, like inside, like on the
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: rockin' roller coaster, the Aerosmith thing. It's not that anymore,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: but anyway. Uh, Kentucky's biggest Powerball winner, back in trouble
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: with the law, James Farthing, who shared a record $ 167. 3
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: million jackpot with his mother in 2025, was arrested on
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Sunday after deputies found him asleep in a running car
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: in a Walmart parking lot. Authorities say they were responding
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: to reports of a car stopped at an intersection before
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: it moved to the Walmart lot. Deputies found Farthing alone
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: in the vehicle and said he showed signs of intoxication,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: including slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, trouble keeping his balance, and
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: he was charged with public intoxication. This arrest marks Farthing's
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: fifth run-in with the law enforcement since winning the lottery
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: a year ago. Previous headline-making arrests have included kicking a
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: cop in the face, burglarizing a house, drug possession, domestic
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: violence-related charges. Some charges were dismissed. Others remain pending. You
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: won the lottery, man. You know, $ 167 million. It should
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: be pretty easy to just stay at the house. That's
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: what I'm thinking. Like, just stay home. Why are we
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: venturing out anywhere? Just hang out at the house, man.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: You know? You don't have to go anywhere. I think
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: back to when the New York Giants won the Super
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Bowl over the Patriots. Undefeated Patriots. Plaxico Burris. Star wide
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: receiver for the Giants. Catches the game-winning, Super Bowl-winning touchdown.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: And then over the next few months, he's out like
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: at a club. And he's got a pistol in his
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: pocket because them clubs are dangerous and he shoots himself
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: in the leg.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Season.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: You know, they had a chance to make a run
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: on a second one. Sorry, I'm a Giants fan and
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: that one still stings. So why are you going out
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: to the club where people might be trying to hurt
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: you and you need a gun in your pocket? Don't
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: do it. That was years ago. I'm still bitter. An
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Oregon woman tied a man to a tree. tattooed nasty
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: words on his face, and left him tied to the tree.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: But she says she shouldn't be punished because another guy
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: made her do it. Chelsea Moore, who was taken into
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: custody shortly after the victim called 911, told cops that
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: she was also a victim, and her public defender says,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I don't even know why she's in jail. I got
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: a general idea. The 38-year-old said a man named Ephraim
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Palanox Polonox. One of those two. Don't know. And I'm
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: a professional name reader. Forced her to commit the acts
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: while he was holding a gun on her. Surveillance cameras nearby.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Hospitals showed Moran. I'm going to say Polonox. Forcing the
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: victim out of the facility against his will. Both Moran.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: That says Palafox. This is why it's confusing. Both Moran.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go with Polonox. have been charged with
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: first-degree kidnapping, assault, menacing, and unlawful use of a weapon.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Her lawyer also told the court that Moore has a
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: brain tumor, and that might have impacted her actions. I mean,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: if you've got excuses, just stack them up. As many
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: as you've got, let them know everything. Then there'll be
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: women outside the jail, outside the courthouse, with signs. You've
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: just got to stack them up. Stack them all up.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: A man from Zimbabwe was arrested last week after trying
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: to illegally fly to Botswana while carrying a hidden bag
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: stuffed with what customs officials said were male body parts.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Authorities say they were made aware of the smuggling scheme
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: after someone gave them.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: A tip.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Yasha Mugazeri was remanded into custody after a hearing in
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: which prosecutors said he should be denied bail since he
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: was trying to enter the country illegally while toting the bag.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Police still looking for where the male body parts came
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: from since no one has come forward to report missing
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: male body parts. Not a Florida story. Not a Florida story. Hey,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: this is a Florida story. A Florida man nicknamed the
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Lego Bandit behind bars after his criminal enterprise finally came
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: apart at the bricks. Deputies near Jacksonville say they were
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: investigating a theft at a Target store when they tried
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: to stop 45-year-old Ronald Tipton. who allegedly fled in a
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: U-Haul truck. Authorities say the pursuit ended when deputies pinned
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: the vehicle against a tree. Investigators believe Tipton was connected
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: to an organized retail theft ring and accuse him of
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: stealing more than $ 20, 000. What is it? $ 20, 000 is in
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: all these stories today. $ 20, 000 worth of merchandise, including expensive
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Lego sets. He's linked to at least three thefts dating
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: back to August and now faces charges that include retail
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: theft and aggravated fleeing. He was fleeing, but he was
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: also aggravated. Maybe the guy with the lottery money. If
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: my count is correct, right? He gave 10% to the home.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: He could give 20% to that other guy. And then
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: now he's got 20% that maybe he could give. So
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: he's still coming out way ahead. I don't know what
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: the tax situation is, but he's still coming out way ahead, right? Well,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: if you're like me and my family, you struggle probably
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: to come up with something different in the regular meal
• 16:15

• 16:21
  Speaker 2: try to figure out what we're going to have for

  Speaker 2: Space Science Center. And the new season of Music Under
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: the Dome, check out upcoming dates for the shows. And
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: also check out when the next astronomy night's coming up
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: the Coca-Cola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside, somewhere
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming astronomy night.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: events also on their website. It's ccssc.org. As Sean Cruzan says, charliecharliesamsamcharlie.org.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I just remind you that it stands for Coca-Cola Space
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Science Center, ccssc.org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: commercial or residential, maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: squaring that away for you. And while they're there, you
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: door to your garage door system. that you can put
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor, but indoor, you know, if you like
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: you just want a little man cave that you'd like
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: to be able to open the door up and not
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: invite all the insects in. They can do that for
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: you as well. And again, they do after hours calls.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help. And they do
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com. More West Carroll Morning
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Show right after the break. We talked a little bit
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: yesterday about the fact that this idea of overlapping scent, smell,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: scentscaping is what they call it. And you try to
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: figure out all the different smells that you should have
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: in your house. Well, apparently, if you like Dunkin', well,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: here's some good news. Because Dunkin' has teamed up with
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Febreze to attempt to replicate some of the scents of
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: their products. Strawberry Frosted Donuts, Cinnamon Roll, and Vanilla Latte
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Air Freshener Sprays. Plug-in Oil Refills and Car Vent Clips.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Now on sale exclusively, I think it's exclusively, through Walmart. So, yeah,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: you want to drive around smelling donuts and coffee, and
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: you can do that anytime you want. Cinnamon rolls, that
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: would just make me hungry. Scents are tied in with
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: our appetite, so if you're driving around with those smells,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: you're going to crave stuff, aren't you? Americans know the
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: drive-thru ritual. You place your order, voice comes out of
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the speaker, gets it wrong, you correct them, and then
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: you get the please pull forward words. McDonald's says they're
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: looking to monetize those precious few minutes between ordering and
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: getting your food. So the chain is testing a system
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: now that will show ads from other companies on its
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: digital menu boards after you've placed your order and while
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: you're waiting to creep toward the pickup window. McDonald's says
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: the test is meant to show customers content they might
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: find helpful, relevant, and interesting. That may be the case.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: But let me ask you this. If they did this
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: instead of raising inflation prices, you know, if this was
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: something that they said, we're going to do this, and
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: that way we won't have to make the price of
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: the dollar, you know, value menu, two and three and
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: four and $ 5 value menus or whatever, I'd be completely
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: down with it. I don't mind. And I know we
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: got to a point where we all got a little
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: spoiled with things like Netflix and you go, well, you
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: can watch Netflix and there's no ads involved. And it's great.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: You know, you watch it. There's no ads. It's perfect.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: And then suddenly it's like, well, we're going to give
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: you the ad version. It's going to cost less. And
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: then we'll give you the ad version. And people went, oh,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I can watch some ads. We used to watch ads
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: all the time, and then streaming made us not want
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: to watch ads, and then some of the streaming things
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: that we watch have ads anyway. We've talked here about
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Roku and their slop AI ads. Slop. And if we
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: can watch slop ads, maybe they give us some slop
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: ads on the McDonald's board. Just don't accidentally tell us
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: that Burger King's got Whoppers on sale or something. That
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: would be embarrassing for them. And for us, because we'd
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: pull out and like, sorry, I'm leaving. My bad. Didn't
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: mean to come here. I meant to go there for
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: the Whopper. A new survey found young adults aged 18
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: to 29 are leading the way when it comes to
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: everyday kindness, performing an average of five generous acts each week. Suckers.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Just kidding. More than 80% of... It's Friday! It's Friday. Sorry,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: I'm just in a mood this morning. More than 80%
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: of Gen Zers consider themselves generous, with many donating to charity,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: volunteering their time, or helping people in need. That's not
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: sucker behavior. I'm just joking. That said, every generation is
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: pitching in. Millennials are the biggest financial donors. Boomers are
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: especially likely to donate goods and lend a helping hand
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: on a regular basis. A survey also found that generosity
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: isn't just good for the recipient. Nearly three-quarters of people
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: said helping others boost their mental well-being. More than three-quarters
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: said it simply makes them happier. As for the most
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: common good deeds, donating unwanted items, giving to charity, treating
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: friends to gifts, helping strangers, and buying someone a coffee
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: all made the list. These are all nice things. I'm
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: just kidding. I'm just kidding when I call them suckers.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, some of the things they fall for are
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: their suckers, but not all of them. These are all
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: good things. It does feel good to donate. You know
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: I've talked about that many times. I hate when we
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: lose our ability to make a donation voluntarily Because our
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: government takes the money and donates it for us after
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: it runs through bureaucrats and pays a bunch of salaries
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: and then maybe 3% of it actually makes it to
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: the cause. I have issues with that. I have issues
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: with that. I don't have issues with people donating their
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: money and time and goods. All of those things are great. Finally, Hollywood...
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: as something to pay attention to as a new study
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: found movies written by women generate bigger profits than male-led productions,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: yet most of the industry's biggest budgets still go to men.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Researchers looked at nearly 200,000 films released over the last
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: 30 years, found movies written by women earned about 34%
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: higher median profits and delivered a better return on investment.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Some recent box office giants like Avatar, The Way of Water, Barbie,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Jurassic World, were co-written or co-directed by women. Despite that success,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: women underrepresented behind the camera. Fewer than one-third of films
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: include a woman as a writer or director. A vast
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: majority of biggest budget movies still led by men. It's
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: an interesting stat. I'd love to get deeper into all
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: of this. If we're hanging a handful of... This statistic
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: is based on just a small... like number of movies
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: that have boosted the numbers on it. You kind of
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: have to pay attention to that. I know that we're
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: looking at like a sampling here or trying to say, well,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: this is the study. And I get it. You could
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: always kind of look at the specifics and whichever numbers.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: I'd love to look a little more into the study.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. That'll do it for this Friday
• 27:56
