- 0:14Speaker 2: for joining me. I have a seventeen year old son.
- 0:18Speaker 2: It's happened today. Officially, he was born already, so he's
- 0:24Speaker 2: seventeen officially, you know, past the birth minute. The kid
- 0:31Speaker 2: who made me a dad is seventeen. So if you
- 0:35Speaker 2: happen to see my oldest son Jake today, my older son,
- 0:39Speaker 2: I guess eldest is the correct when it's two of them, right,
- 0:43Speaker 2: tell him happy birthday. By all means, I don't know
- 0:44Speaker 2: that you'll bump into him. Maybe you'll bump into him
- 0:47Speaker 2: at some point later in the week. But sorry, I
- 0:51Speaker 2: got a little rasp.
- 0:52Speaker 3: In the voice.
- 0:53Speaker 2: I hope that's not a sign of things to come.
- 0:56Speaker 2: So yeah, I've got a seventeen.
- 0:58Speaker 3: Year old in the house. I want to quickly remind you.

- 1:36Speaker 2: We were did one I guess at the Space Science Center,
- 1:42Speaker 2: but we were just kind of set up at a
- 1:43Speaker 2: table there and that was really, you know, wasn't really
- 1:48Speaker 2: an audience. There are a few people around, but not
- 1:49Speaker 2: really an audience. So we'll see how the turnout is
- 1:53Speaker 2: for this, and we hope if it's enough, we'll make
- 1:55Speaker 2: this a regular thing. We're excited at the chance to
- 1:58Speaker 2: do it. I've done other podcasts and shows and things
- 2:01Speaker 2: in front of people, but this will be the first
- 2:03Speaker 2: time really for Native Stars, and we just hope that
- 2:08Speaker 2: you will come by and join us.

- 2:54Speaker 2: check out the podcast live. Sean and I look forward
- 2:57Speaker 2: to you know, we'll do basically what we do anyway.

- 3:06Speaker 2: and we hope you'll join us for it. It's free

- 3:22Speaker 2: Center box Office, the Columbus Ballet dot org, any of
- 3:25Speaker 2: those places you get your tickets. Now. That one's not free,
- 3:28Speaker 2: but it's a very economical price, and it's a fantastic experience.
- 3:33Speaker 2: It's one of the great traditions that happens cities all
- 3:38Speaker 2: around the world. I don't know if it's an overly mail.
- 3:41Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure other countries do it, but especially
- 3:44Speaker 2: this time of year. As we get into the Christmas season.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Say this time of year, we're almost there. We've got
- 3:51Speaker 2: to get out of the Halloween season and we get
- 3:53Speaker 2: into the Thanksgiving Christmas season. I know, people get mad,
- 3:55Speaker 2: they say, why do they roll them into one holiday?
- 3:58Speaker 2: It's not one holiday, but it's just too big family
- 4:00Speaker 2: holidays that happened close together. But it's a great tradition
- 4:03Speaker 2: that happens, I assume around the world. But there won't
- 4:07Speaker 2: be a show like this show that we're doing here
- 4:10Speaker 2: in Columbus because I'm not in those other shows. My
- 4:14Speaker 2: seventh time is Mother Ginger on the stilts inside the

- 4:28Speaker 2: So get your tickets from and I say economical tickets.

- 4:43Speaker 2: the correct price for the tickets. And there's tickets available now,
- 4:47Speaker 2: so get your hands on those all right.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Quickly.
- 4:51Speaker 2: We've gone through this whole week of no King's a
- 4:54Speaker 2: lot of talk about that, a lot of discussion about that.
- 4:57Speaker 2: The latest installment of the no King thing is the
- 5:01Speaker 2: construction that's going on at the White House the Trump
- 5:04Speaker 2: administration taking down on the East Wing. It's an outdoor
- 5:08Speaker 2: like walking area. They've ripped it down, they're adding something,
- 5:13Speaker 2: adding to the ballroom, adding some things, paying for it
- 5:17Speaker 2: out of his pocket, and some donors are paying for
- 5:19Speaker 2: the construction. So taxpayers aren't even paying for this. They
- 5:23Speaker 2: didn't even have to get the Doge department involved. No
- 5:26Speaker 2: one there had to come in and say, hey, is
- 5:28Speaker 2: this you know, economical, And it's made people just go nuts.
- 5:33Speaker 3: This is the latest in the well.
- 5:34Speaker 2: This is a guy who never plans to leave. This
- 5:38Speaker 2: is his castle. He is just adding to his castle.
- 5:42Speaker 2: He has no plans to leave. He thinks he's the king,
- 5:46Speaker 2: and in reality it's what many presidents have done in
- 5:49Speaker 2: the past. You know, you go back to at least
- 5:52Speaker 2: one case of hey, it was set on fire and
- 5:55Speaker 2: they had to do construction. But there have been other
- 5:57Speaker 2: constructions that have been done, whether it's swimming pools or
- 6:01Speaker 2: just an add on here and add on there.
- 6:03Speaker 3: Moving something.
- 6:04Speaker 2: And in this case, I believe at least what this
- 6:09Speaker 2: administration has said is they'd like to leave something behind.
- 6:14Speaker 2: They'd like to leave something lasting. And let's be honest,
- 6:17Speaker 2: at some point we're going to get this nice ballroom
- 6:20Speaker 2: or whatever it's going to be in the White House,
- 6:22Speaker 2: and people are going to want to be there. It's
- 6:25Speaker 2: a great move for it's there's an old adage where
- 6:30Speaker 2: if you like when you're dating, and if it's somebody
- 6:36Speaker 2: that you really like and you think, well, this has
- 6:38Speaker 2: some potential, you can give someone a gift. It doesn't
- 6:43Speaker 2: even really I mean, it works for dating, but it
- 6:45Speaker 2: doesn't have to be for dating. Give a person a gift.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Take the dating aspect of it out. It works for dating,
- 6:52Speaker 2: but give someone a gift, and if you give them
- 6:55Speaker 2: something that they're going to wear or use every day,
- 7:01Speaker 2: then in some small way, they'll think about you often, right,
- 7:05Speaker 2: You give someone a nice watch. Every time they wear
- 7:08Speaker 2: the watch and they look at the watch, there's at
- 7:10Speaker 2: least a possibility they're going to think about you because
- 7:12Speaker 2: you gave it to them, or someone's gonna ask, hey,
- 7:13Speaker 2: where'd you get that watch? Oh, Ted gave it to me.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Oh great, Ted's a good guy. Whatever. Oh Tabitha gave
- 7:22Speaker 2: it to me, She's great, that's a nice watch. I
- 7:25Speaker 2: mean it certainly would if you give someone a ring.
- 7:27Speaker 2: You give them someone something that they'll think about you often.
- 7:31Speaker 2: It's just a it's a nice thing to do that
- 7:35Speaker 2: has puts you on their mind, right, Just a little
- 7:39Speaker 2: subtle thing. It's a nonverbal thing, but it's a nice
- 7:41Speaker 2: little thing that you can do. And I'm giving you
- 7:45Speaker 2: that one for free. That's that's free with just listening
- 7:49Speaker 2: to the podcast. The other one that I tell you
- 7:51Speaker 2: all the time, know your spout, your wife, know their
- 7:55Speaker 2: favorite flower, because you know on anniversaries, it's nice to
- 8:00Speaker 2: get the flower, the stargazer lily. It's a big one
- 8:03Speaker 2: here in the Carrol House because I know that's my
- 8:05Speaker 2: bride's favorite flower. It's another freebie on their birthday. Whatever
- 8:09Speaker 2: you want to get them. Some flowers you get them
- 8:11Speaker 2: the flower from the wedding, and that's their favorite flower.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Typically that's the one from the wedding. And then you
- 8:17Speaker 2: do that, and then they're gonna always you know, they're
- 8:20Speaker 2: gonna be.
- 8:20Speaker 3: Like, wow, you remembered.
- 8:22Speaker 2: It's another freebe I'm giving you anyway. So this is
- 8:26Speaker 2: a good move. Every time someone uses this new ballroom,
- 8:29Speaker 2: every time someone's there, even the people who hated his guts,
- 8:33Speaker 2: they're gonna be in there and they're going to be like, Wow,
- 8:35Speaker 2: this is a great ballroom, or Wow, I'm excited to
- 8:39Speaker 2: be at this event with all these dignitaries and world
- 8:42Speaker 2: leaders or whatever. And that's where they're gonna be. They're
- 8:44Speaker 2: gonna be, you know, in this at an event going
- 8:47Speaker 2: on in this room, and deep down inside, they're gonna
- 8:50Speaker 2: know this is a room that Donald Trump put there.
- 8:54Speaker 2: So it's a great move on his part, and it's
- 8:56Speaker 2: kind of a subtle little thing, but it's also really
- 8:58Speaker 2: nice to be able to make those kind of improvements.
- 9:01Speaker 2: So I think it's a nice move. But it's driving
- 9:04Speaker 2: people crazy. Yep, he's tearing down the people's house. All
- 9:09Speaker 2: these kinds of comments, and you know.
- 9:11Speaker 3: The absurdity of that is ridiculous.
- 9:16Speaker 2: I mean, it is absolutely ridiculous that it's like he's
- 9:21Speaker 2: just leveled the whole building and he's rebuilding it gold.
- 9:24Speaker 2: That's what they're kind of suggesting, and people are losing
- 9:28Speaker 2: their minds. But anyway, so that's just the latest installment
- 9:31Speaker 2: in the he thinks he's a king legacy. Let's move
- 9:38Speaker 2: on to another topic. I want to talk about this
- 9:40Speaker 2: Graham Platiner. He is oyster farmer who is from Maine,
- 9:51Speaker 2: and he is a Democrat trying to challenge Susan Collins
- 9:55Speaker 2: for the Republican who's the Republican senator there in Maine,
- 10:00Speaker 2: and Bernie Sanders one of the people that has endorsed him,
- 10:06Speaker 2: and I guess there's another person who's running for that
- 10:13Speaker 2: nomination there as well. It's the governor there in Maine,
- 10:18Speaker 2: Janet Mills. And probably probably not a good thing for
- 10:25Speaker 2: someone who is not very well known, that is, you know,
- 10:28Speaker 2: running for the position. But anyway, so here's here's where
- 10:35Speaker 2: some things have come to light here lately, and a
- 10:38Speaker 2: few things that have come out about Platiner, and it's
- 10:44Speaker 2: just it's a weird place that we're in, uh with Platiner.
- 10:49Speaker 2: So he has had some verbal diarrhea.
- 10:56Speaker 3: If you wear, if you will.
- 10:59Speaker 2: He has been a p opponent publicly of political violence.
- 11:04Speaker 3: He has.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Sorry, this is one of those grown up words, but
- 11:09Speaker 2: it's not one of those really bad grown up words.
- 11:11Speaker 2: But he's referred to police as bastards. I guess he's
- 11:16Speaker 2: an oyster guy. So he's called the lobstermen there pieces
- 11:19Speaker 2: of poop used a different word. That's a word I'm
- 11:23Speaker 2: not going to say necessarily unless I get really really
- 11:27Speaker 2: worked up. Apparently, and then he's made comments also about
- 11:32Speaker 2: how black people don't tip. I don't know. That's all
- 11:37Speaker 2: not typically something that you go for. You would say,
- 11:40Speaker 2: if you're running for an office as a Democrat. Maybe
- 11:47Speaker 2: you get away with it in Maine. That's all I'm saying.
- 11:49Speaker 3: Maybe you get away with that in Maine.
- 11:51Speaker 2: Apparently he's kind of skated on that for a little while.
- 11:55Speaker 2: But anyway, so now there's some other stuff that's come out,
- 12:00Speaker 2: and I guess he's been actively on Reddit. There was
- 12:04Speaker 2: a time when he identified it himself as a communist.
- 12:12Speaker 2: He said that people in the military were worried about
- 12:20Speaker 2: being We're worried about being raptured by kevlar underwear. He's
- 12:26Speaker 2: had a number of things that he has said that
- 12:27Speaker 2: have come out, but this communist thing is something that
- 12:30Speaker 2: he needs to be concerned about. And he's got people
- 12:37Speaker 2: that have endorsed him, and now that some more things
- 12:39Speaker 2: are coming out, they're still sticking with him. So I
- 12:42Speaker 2: guess there was a time when he I don't know
- 12:45Speaker 2: where he was. I don't know what this photo was taken,
- 12:48Speaker 2: but it's a There was video of him lip syncing
- 12:52Speaker 2: a Miley Cyrus song and he had his shirt off
- 12:56Speaker 2: and there was a Nazi tattoo on his chest that
- 13:00Speaker 2: he still has, by the way, And this comes out
- 13:04Speaker 2: after he's apologized for some of the comments that he's made.
- 13:07Speaker 2: But yeah, he's got this German death's head skull that
- 13:13Speaker 2: was used, you know by the elite guard in Germany.
- 13:17Speaker 2: It's no big deal, right, So that's nothing. But these
- 13:22Speaker 2: are the people that you know, you know, killed like
- 13:25Speaker 2: six million people, right. This is we're not just talking
- 13:29Speaker 2: about like this is a symbol.
- 13:32Speaker 3: For one of the little groups that went.
- 13:36Speaker 2: Happy about this. They're gonna kill me if I don't
- 13:38Speaker 2: do it. No, no, no, these are the people like
- 13:41Speaker 2: doing the work for the Nazis. The horrific work for
- 13:46Speaker 2: the Nazis, right, these are the people that guarded the
- 13:49Speaker 2: concentration camps. That's the tattoo this guy has on his chest.
- 13:56Speaker 2: The political director of his campaign resigned last week and
- 14:03Speaker 2: he said she said, Genevieve is her name. McDonald said
- 14:09Speaker 2: on social media, Graham has an anti Semitic tattoo on
- 14:12Speaker 2: his chest. He's not an idiot. He's a military history buff.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Maybe he didn't know it when he got it, but
- 14:18Speaker 2: he got it years ago and he should have covered
- 14:20Speaker 2: it up because he knows damn well what it means.
- 14:26Speaker 2: So and Genevieve McDonald, the former political director of the campaign,
- 14:32Speaker 2: who by the way, didn't resign over this, resigned over
- 14:34Speaker 2: the other idiotic things, basically has said that the campaign
- 14:40Speaker 2: released footage of him lip syncing with his shirt off
- 14:43Speaker 2: to try to get.
- 14:43Speaker 3: Ahead of it.
- 14:45Speaker 2: And that's where that's where things currently are. So there's
- 14:51Speaker 2: a number of people that are saying that they will
- 14:54Speaker 2: continue to support and Bernie Sanders continues his support for Platine,
- 15:01Speaker 2: basically saying that he thinks Platner got the tattoo when
- 15:06Speaker 2: he was inebriated and that he's not the only one
- 15:11Speaker 2: in America who's gone through a dark period.
- 15:16Speaker 3: So there you go.
- 15:18Speaker 2: Platner's comment on all this, I think you pretty much
- 15:20Speaker 2: find out where I stand on Nazism and anti Semitism
- 15:23Speaker 2: and racism in general. That he's not a secret Nazi.
- 15:28Speaker 2: This was something that he said on a podcast. He's
- 15:32Speaker 2: not a secret Nazi, and he's shown support for Antifa,
- 15:37Speaker 2: by the way. So Sanders, also referring to that dark period,
- 15:41Speaker 2: said people go through that. He apologized for the stupid remarks,
- 15:45Speaker 2: for remarks that he made, and I'm confident he's going
- 15:47Speaker 2: to run a great campaign and he's going to win.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Here's another good one. Martin Heinrich, Democrat senator from New Mexico,
- 15:58Speaker 2: says the Democrat Party needs to be big enough to
- 16:00Speaker 2: accept people who have hard lives, who have made mistakes
- 16:04Speaker 2: and actually owned up to the mistakes. And that's what
- 16:07Speaker 2: he's done.
- 16:10Speaker 3: Okay.
- 16:11Speaker 2: Heinrich says that he likes Platner because what he's campaigning
- 16:15Speaker 2: on in the way he's connecting to working class voters.
- 16:20Speaker 2: These are the same people who accused Elon Musk of
- 16:25Speaker 2: throwing a Hyle Hitler sign when he hid hisself on
- 16:28Speaker 2: the chest and said, you know, my heart goes out
- 16:32Speaker 2: to all of you. I just want to point out
- 16:34Speaker 2: the fact Elon Musk did an like an unfortunate sort
- 16:40Speaker 2: of gesture. I didn't see it and immediately think, ah,
- 16:44Speaker 2: he's a Nazi.
- 16:46Speaker 3: This guy literally has a symbol.
- 16:52Speaker 2: For not just Nazis in general, but the people guarding
- 16:57Speaker 2: the camps and executing people on his chest and has
- 17:01Speaker 2: had it for years. And he is a self proclaimed
- 17:05Speaker 2: history buff. How does he not know what that means?
- 17:09Speaker 2: Let me just remind you also that we have gone
- 17:11Speaker 2: through folks on the left saying that if you throw
- 17:14Speaker 2: up an ok sign with your hand, that means white power.
- 17:19Speaker 2: That if you have a don't tread on me a
- 17:22Speaker 2: T shirt or sticker or flag anywhere, that because there
- 17:27Speaker 2: have been some white supremacy groups that have embraced that flag,
- 17:31Speaker 2: that then makes you want even though the flag has
- 17:35Speaker 2: nothing to do with white supremacy, nothing to do with it,
- 17:41Speaker 2: the okay white power symbol has nothing to do with
- 17:45Speaker 2: white supremacy. They just grabbed it and said we're gonna
- 17:49Speaker 2: throw it out because it looks like your three fingers
- 17:51Speaker 2: are ABU and then your index finger and thumb and wrist.
- 17:57Speaker 3: I guess make a Peece. So that's white power.
- 18:01Speaker 2: These are the same people who went after soldiers who
- 18:04Speaker 2: did this at a football game, the Army Navy game,
- 18:07Speaker 2: when someone threw up an OK sign and it wasn't
- 18:10Speaker 2: even that they were doing it as an OK sign.
- 18:12Speaker 2: It had something to do with some group or a
- 18:15Speaker 2: fraternity or something. We saw black people throwing up the
- 18:20Speaker 2: OK sign as part of their fraternity, and people accused
- 18:24Speaker 2: them of being white supremacists because they were in the
- 18:26Speaker 2: military under Donald Trump.
- 18:29Speaker 3: Just want to remind you.
- 18:30Speaker 2: While we're running around forgiving people for going through hard
- 18:33Speaker 2: times and forgiving people for having this symbol tattooed on
- 18:37Speaker 2: their body forever while singing, and we're not even getting
- 18:41Speaker 2: into the fact that the guy was singing Miley Cyrus songs.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Is that even forgivable? I don't know, all right, I've
- 18:49Speaker 2: sung to my race. But my point is I don't
- 18:53Speaker 2: hate the Miley ray Cyrus. I really don't. My biggest
- 18:55Speaker 2: issue with Miley Ray Cyrus is that for years called
- 19:00Speaker 2: her Miley ray Cyrus on the radio, not knowing that
- 19:03Speaker 2: her middle name was actually Ray. And I said it
- 19:06Speaker 2: for years because I thought it was just a funny
- 19:08Speaker 2: thing to call her. Because of her dad and then
- 19:10Speaker 2: you find out, oh, no, her name is Miley Ray
- 19:12Speaker 2: Cyrus and I thought, well, it just kills.
- 19:14Speaker 3: My whole joke.
- 19:15Speaker 2: Or maybe it endeared me to the Miley's Race Cyrus fans.
- 19:21Speaker 2: Either way, Nazi tattoo making a video of yourself singing
- 19:27Speaker 2: Miley Ray Ciris songs at the very least, that combination
- 19:30Speaker 2: should be unforgivable. Today's show brought to you by Columba
- 19:33Speaker 2: State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating
- 19:39Speaker 2: the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders
- 19:44Speaker 2: that really of all ages. I mean, they do it
- 19:47Speaker 2: for school age kids as school age kids visit the
- 19:50Speaker 2: Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
- 19:52Speaker 2: through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
- 19:58Speaker 2: and the career in space and STEM fields are booming
- 20:03Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
- 20:06Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,

- 20:24Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
- 20:29Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
- 20:31Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
- 20:35Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
- 20:40Speaker 2: right here in Columbus. Inside the planetarium at the Coca
- 20:44Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music

- 21:04Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night
- 21:07Speaker 2: events Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As
- 21:11Speaker 2: Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I
- 21:16Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
- 21:20Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
- 21:24Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
- 21:27Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
- 21:33Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
- 21:36Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
- 21:41Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
- 21:44Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
- 21:47Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
- 21:49Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 21:53Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 21:56Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 21:58Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 22:01Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 22:05Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
- 22:08Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes
- 22:12Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 22:15Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 22:18Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 22:21Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 22:24Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 22:27Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 22:29Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
- 22:31Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 22:33Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 22:36Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 22:39Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 22:42Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
- 22:45Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help. And they do those
- 22:48Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thory five eight forty five

- 22:58Speaker 2: after the break, What do you remember when it seemed
- 23:10Speaker 2: like the cruising industry was done? Go back to COVID
- 23:15Speaker 2: a few years ago, and you know, people on cruise
- 23:18Speaker 2: ships were dying, people were getting sick. It was just,
- 23:22Speaker 2: you know, we had ships that couldn't dock. It was
- 23:24Speaker 2: just all these horrible scenarios plan out. There were even
- 23:28Speaker 2: points not even COVID related. Remember when they had outbreaks
- 23:32Speaker 2: of you know, all sorts of things on cruise ships
- 23:36Speaker 2: unrelated to COVID, and it seemed like, oh, are they
- 23:40Speaker 2: ever going to be able to get it together again? Well,
- 23:43Speaker 2: a new report from Tripleas projecting that a record twenty
- 23:46Speaker 2: one point seven million Americans will sail the High Seas
- 23:50Speaker 2: on a cruise ship in twenty twenty six, representing a
- 23:53Speaker 2: four point five percent increase from this year. During the pandemic,
- 23:59Speaker 2: nearly two million Americans took cruises, and it was believed
- 24:02Speaker 2: the industry would never bounce back, but it did obviously
- 24:05Speaker 2: in a big way. Industry experts say the surge is
- 24:08Speaker 2: fueled by pent up demand new ships over with over
- 24:11Speaker 2: the top amenities, growing appetite for all inclusive floating vacations.
- 24:15Speaker 2: The majority of passengers, according to TRIPAA, fifty five and
- 24:19Speaker 2: older and seventy two percent of cruisers will choose Caribbean itineraries.
- 24:24Speaker 2: So that's not a big shock because that's.
- 24:26Speaker 3: You know, it's an easy one. It's an easy one.
- 24:30Speaker 2: For people kind of all on like the eastern half
- 24:33Speaker 2: of the country, right, I mean, there's other options, but
- 24:35Speaker 2: that's an easy one. So when you think about what
- 24:39Speaker 2: scares us, we're in the Halloween season, so scary stuff.
- 24:43Speaker 2: But typically this time of year especially, people think about
- 24:47Speaker 2: all the Halloween type stuff that scares you, but the
- 24:51Speaker 2: things that are actually keeping Americans up at night, according
- 24:54Speaker 2: to a new pole, Researchers at Chapman University in California
- 24:58Speaker 2: have released their annual survey of amer fears, and for
- 25:02Speaker 2: the eleventh year in a row, government corruption tops the list.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Sixty nine percent saying that they're afraid of it. Next
- 25:08Speaker 2: on the list people becoming seriously ill that you love,
- 25:13Speaker 2: and financial collapse. Other things that made the list cyber terrorism,
- 25:20Speaker 2: the US becoming involved in another world war, pollution of
- 25:24Speaker 2: drinking water, Russian nuclear weapons, pollution in the oceans, lakes
- 25:30Speaker 2: and rivers, I guess all bodies of waters, and government
- 25:34Speaker 2: tracking private data. Some of the least frightening things on
- 25:37Speaker 2: the list flying strangers, sharks, and needles. Kind of surprised
- 25:43Speaker 2: at some of those, but I mean strangers scare me,
- 25:46Speaker 2: and I'm an adult, so all right. There's a man
- 25:49Speaker 2: in Turkey who was ordered to pay compensation to his
- 25:52Speaker 2: ex wife after she discovered that he had saved her
- 25:55Speaker 2: name as Chubby in his phone contact list. The nickname
- 26:00Speaker 2: came to light during divorce proceedings, and the woman argued
- 26:03Speaker 2: it was insulting and had a negative impact on their marriage.
- 26:06Speaker 2: The court agreed and ordered the man to pay his
- 26:08Speaker 2: ex wife financial compensation for putting it in his phone.
- 26:16Speaker 2: This is in Turkey, though, but obviously this story went
- 26:20Speaker 2: viral and a lot of people saying, wait a minute,
- 26:22Speaker 2: could have been a good nickname. It wasn't I'm sure,
- 26:26Speaker 2: but the idea of having to pay a financial penalty
- 26:29Speaker 2: is pretty ridiculous, though, isn't it? All right? Remember shreking
- 26:34Speaker 2: the idea of you date down in the hopes that
- 26:38Speaker 2: a person who is you deemed to be less attractive
- 26:40Speaker 2: than you might actually treat you better. Well, there's a
- 26:43Speaker 2: new trend making its way through social media, and it's
- 26:48Speaker 2: called throning. And that's where you try to date up
- 26:51Speaker 2: and get with somebody who will.
- 26:52Speaker 3: Boost your social status.
- 26:54Speaker 2: It's about clout more than anything else.
- 26:56Speaker 3: It's not really about love.
- 26:58Speaker 2: The idea of marrying up old digging certainly isn't new,
- 27:02Speaker 2: but throning isn't just dating someone for money. It's about
- 27:05Speaker 2: gaining followers, fame, or influence. Sounds like the plot of
- 27:09Speaker 2: just about every teen angst movie, right, most of all
- 27:15Speaker 2: of them. But there was a period where that.
- 27:16Speaker 3: Was kind of all of them.
- 27:17Speaker 2: Maybe the nineties that was most of them.
- 27:20Speaker 3: All right, Uh, there was a word I'm gonna say
- 27:25Speaker 3: it was a heigi. Is that how you say it?
- 27:27Speaker 2: Danish word that meant all things comfy, cozy and relaxing.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Sorry if you're Danish and I screwed it up. Well,
- 27:34Speaker 2: there's a new Scandinavian custom that is out there that's
- 27:38Speaker 2: catching on, and it is.
- 27:40Speaker 3: Called free luft slive.
- 27:45Speaker 2: That's not what it looks like, but apparently that's how
- 27:47Speaker 2: you pronounce it, and it means open air life health
- 27:50Speaker 2: psychologist Carry Leebowitz from Amsterdam, explaining that it's about connecting
- 27:55Speaker 2: with nature and the outdoors as part of your everyday
- 27:57Speaker 2: life hiking, biking, gardening, ski rucking. That means walking with
- 28:01Speaker 2: weight on your back and more in any kind of weather.
- 28:05Speaker 2: Even sitting outside on the porch swing wrapped up in
- 28:08Speaker 2: a blanket with a cup of tea constitutes freeloof slove.
- 28:15Speaker 2: You gotta remember to dress for the weather, though, and
- 28:17Speaker 2: go release some stress. It's not a race. It's about connection.
- 28:23Speaker 2: So I can get down with that one. I like that.
- 28:27Speaker 2: I like the I like to sometimes just sit out
- 28:30Speaker 2: on my deck when it's cold in a blanket.
- 28:35Speaker 3: We had our snow.
- 28:36Speaker 2: Last year, and you know, I would sit out there
- 28:38Speaker 2: and watch movies, especially movies that had snow in them. Yeah,
- 28:41Speaker 2: it was a fun way to the gray Liam Neeson,
- 28:45Speaker 2: you know, fighting wolves.
- 28:47Speaker 3: I did that.
- 28:47Speaker 2: That was a good time. That kind of I think
- 28:49Speaker 2: that should count as freeloof slove. That'll do it for
- 28:53Speaker 2: this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors
- 28:56Speaker 2: and patrons. Thanks for listening. Catch you back here tomorrow morning.
