• 3:24
  Speaker 2: going to be there for the full weekend, for the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: full show, doing more interviews and getting some more content.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Together for you.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: All Right, it is Friday. We like to start our Oh,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: before I get to this, I want to do this
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: good news stuff. I want to get to that before
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I get to that I want to talk about the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: new marketing for a cracker barrel. I feel like I
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: should just save this for Monday. Maybe I should save
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: it for Monday, but I just quickly just want to
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: point this out. I saw the new logo and I
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: thought that's dumb, but whatever. And then the more I've
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: seen about it, the more it sounds like they're really
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: trying to completely do a complete overhaul of what cracker
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: barrel is. I have a history with cracker barrel. I'm
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: not going to go into it now, but I'm just
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: gonna tell you cracker barrel has kind of been a
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: thing for a long time. Imagine one day they change
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the logo of waffle House and they don't sell waffles anymore.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Sounds like that's what they're trying to do a cracker barrel.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I don't understand. I don't get it. I like the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: guy leaning against the barrel. They've gotten that away from
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the logo. Apparently the peg game it no longer is
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: going to say on it if you don't get less
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: than four pegs or five pegs or whatever it is,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: it's not going to call you an ignoramus anymore. I
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: don't know why apparently they've already taken these out of
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: some of the locations.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: I don't understand. I don't get it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: You know, you get some person in that says we're
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: going to revolutionize and revitalize the brand and the company.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: And why people come because they're on the road and
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: they want to eat some you know, good home cooking.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: That's what they want to do. They want they eat
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: some or breakfast at dinner, they want some Brenner. Anyway,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I maybe do more on this next week.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I just don't understand. It's baffling some of the decisions
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: that get made at a marketing level. All right, positive news,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: some good news to roll on into our weekend. Let's
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: start with this story. Back on August tenth, there were
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: two ten year old girls who made chess history from
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: opposite sides of the planet. In Liverpool, England, bod Hannah
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: sevenanadn ten year old girl five months on top of
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the ten years, stunned sixty year old grand Master Peter
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Wells at the British Chess Championships, becoming the youngest female
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: player ever to beat a grandmaster. Hours later, in Akron, Ohio,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Kaya jaw ten years old in nine months defeated Brian Smith,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: clinching the US record for youngest American girl to do
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the same. Of course, the success that Bodadhna and Kaya
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: recently enjoyed that didn't happen by accident. Both started playing
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: chess at the age of five during the pandemic. Since then,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: their passion and skill have driven them to the top
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: of the chess world, which is filled with many passionate, skilled,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: and much more experienced players. Great job for those two.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: What a cool thing to have happened, like, you know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: hours apart. These two girls that started playing chess around
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: the same time, the same age, just a few months
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: apart in age.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: What a great story, all right.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: One more, Taylor Orlando met her husband when they were
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: both teenagers working at Baywin Senior Living Center in Webster,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: New York. She was a server, he did maintenance. Jump
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: forward a few years, they got engaged. Wanted to honor
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the place where it all began, So instead of stopping
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: for one celebration, Taylor and Jason held a second wedding
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: at the senior center. So they did their normal wedding
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: and they did another one at the Senior Center. The
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: two hundred grandparents they share could be part of the
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: big day.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I like it.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Couple's decision to exchange vals at Baywin was special because
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the place is so important to their history in their relationship.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: It also highlighted the deep bonds they formed the community there.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Having the support of the residents as they start a
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: new life together is something that they will treasure forever.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: What a great story. Good for them and good for
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: all of the people involved. All right.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Soul, South Korea, has increased police presence around the city,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: but not like in DC with National guardsmen. Their method
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: is a bit more high tech. Every evening between seven
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: and ten pm, part goers can expect to see tall
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: uniform police officers standing watch, but if they look closely,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: they'll realize it's not real. It's a hologram. Sole police
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: have been testing life size holographic officers to make people
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: feel safer and discourage crime. And believe it or not,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: it's worse the hologram created by tech company hollow Grammica.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Maybe the same marketing people this cracker barrel, I don't know.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think we could do a better name
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: than that. Stands about five foot seven and delivers friendly
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: reminders like the police will respond immediately in emergencies, and
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: there are surveillance cameras everywhere. It's all part of a
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: high tech effort to boost public safety without adding more
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: boots on the ground. Since the holograms were installed back
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: in October, crime in that area has dropped by twenty
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: two percent. How about that a man in Tanzania recently
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: walked into a hospital complaining of a sword nipple. Yes,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: men have them too. What doctors found next left everyone stunned.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: After running some tests, they discovered the man had been
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: living with a large knife blade lodged in his chest.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: The man recalled a violent fight he was in eight
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: years ago where he suffered multiple cuts to the chest.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: He was treated by doctors and stitched up, and then
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: went on with his life. He never suspected anything was
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: still inside him. He had no chest pain or breathing problems,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: but that recently changed when he started feeling pain around
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the nipple area. When doctors took an X ray, they
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: saw the blade clearly. It had entered in through his
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: back and somehow missed all of his major organs. The
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: infection was caused by dead tissue that had built up
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: around the foreign object. Surgeons carefully removed the knife, cleaned
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: out the infected area. The man spent a day in
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: intensive care and then recovered in the general ward. Amazingly,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: he is doing well now.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Ouch. I don't know what else to say. It just
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: sounds ugh. Kind of made me shiver a little bit
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: just sitting here. Yikes.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: And that's why you don't ignore the warning signs. You
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: get a sword nipple, you go to the doctor. By golly,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: that's what you do. Sunday was a wild day for
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: one Florida family. I don't think we had any Florida
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: stories last week, so I'm glad we're getting back to Florida.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: As they woke up to find that their property suddenly
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: was invaded by raccoons. Richard Klerner says the chaos was
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: caught on home surveillance footage and it looked like the
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: raccoons were throwing a party. He says they were on
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: the steps in the jacuzzi, three of them, splashing around.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: They ate all the cat food, spilled water bowls, scared
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: our cats half to death. He and his wife counted
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: at least eight raccoons around their house. Some invaders came
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: in through the kiddie door. Clerner says that it was
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: so bad he called nine to one one. The Florida
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Wildlife Commission came in for help and removed them. He
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: hopes it was a one time thing, but it's taking
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: some preventive measures that he's doing, like shutting the cat
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: door and trying to help make sure that they don't
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: come back, at least that they don't get back inside.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: If they do decide to come back, at least they
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: won't be able to get inside the house.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Might want to do some things that might keep.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Them out of the chacuzzie, because I mean, who could
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: blame them for wanting to go to the jacuzzie. A
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: jilted lover in Kentucky under arrest for taking her rage
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: out on her ex's car. Oh, this is an old story.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Thirty one year old Stephanie carl Quist may have taken
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: some cues from Carrie Underwood's before he cheats. According to police,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: she poured glitter in the air conditioning vent, cracked the
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: windshield and rearview mirror, busted the vehicle's radio screen, and
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: poured salt into the vehicle's engine. The total damage ran
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: up to twelve five hundred dollars. The vehicle was declared
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: a total loss. Her ex also told police that she
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: had previously slashed one of his tires. Carl Quist was
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: held on a twelve thousand dollars bond. Her parents wanted
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: to keep her from having a felony on record, have
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: promised to make her pay for all the damage get
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: him another car. Whether or not he accepted the offer
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: or not unclear, but I mean, I think that would
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: be the goal. You know, you want to you still
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: want some punishment, but if you least get a car replacement,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: that would be nice.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: That's better than just not having a car.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: You're never too older and brace your inner child, except
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: for when your inner child wants to go down a
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: children slide.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: At a playground.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Emergency crews in Vernon, Connecticut, were called to an elementary
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: school Saturday afternoon to rescue a forty year old man
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: who got himself stuck inside a tube slide. Firefighters sent
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: a man was wedged feet and head first in the
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: middle of the slide, folded at the waist. Cruise brought
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: in ventilation equipment to keep him cooled in the summer heat,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: and eventually had to cut open part of the slide
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: to reach him. After about thirty minutes, the man was
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: free checked out by EMS, although he refused further medical treatment.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: He probably wanted to get home and into hiding as
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: quickly as possible. I don't blame him for that. Nobody's
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: got time for, you know, interviews. Nobody wants to do
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: an interview if you get stuck in a slide. A
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Florida man was arrested after he allegedly threatened a landscaper
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: with a twelve inch dagger, all while dressed head to
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: toe in a Jester costume. At least say, fifty one
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: year old Anthony, that is, Marzola wasn't clowning around when
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: he confronted landscaper Brian Hanson, who was mowing lawns on
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: the street. Upset by the noise, Marzola reportedly grabbed the
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: blade from his car and marched towards Hanson, shouting that
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: he had to stop mowing. The landscaper used his stand
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: on mower as a shield, and a neighbor witnessed the
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: whole bizarre scene. Marzola runs a business called Psychedelic Jester
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Smoke Shop, which might explain why he was dressed as
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: a gester. I would think it seems like a reason.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: That you might do that.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: It doesn't explain why he had the dagger in his car, though.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: He's been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: and the judge ordered him to stay away from the helicopter.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: If you run a smoke shop, you might have people
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: come in. Maybe you need a knife, and you want
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: to be as intimidating as possible, dressed like a gesture
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: waving around a knife. I would say that would be
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: a reason to maybe not go into the smoke shop
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: if and cause problems.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: That'd be my opinion.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Anyway, an Illinois man would love to go back in
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: time and undo a poor decision that he made to
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: drive drunk. That man is twenty eight year old Michael J.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Fox. No, it's not that Michael J. Fox. This one's
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: twenty eight.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I was arrested after he drove drunk led police on
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: a high speed chase, possibly trying to, you know, get
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: to eighty eight miles an hour maybe. Police say it
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: all started with a hit and run in West Chicago.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: When police tried to stop him, Fox allegedly stepped on
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: the gas led officers on a high speed chase, which
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: eventually ended when he ran a red light and slammed
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: him in another vehicle with two people inside. They were
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Cops took f
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: into custody noticed clear signs of intoxication with an open
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: bottle in the car. A breathalyzer later revealed his blood
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Michael J.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Fox faces multiple charges, including aggravated DUI and aggravated fleeing
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: and eluding, along with several traffic violations.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: This Michael J.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Fox Jay with a period. The other Michael J. Fox
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Jay's not as middle names, so there's no period. That's
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: how you know it's not.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Marty. I mean that in the fact that he's twenty eight.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: all ages. I mean, they do it for school age
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Science Center, but they also do it through their university
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: careers in space and stem fields are booming right now,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: and you can learn more about maybe getting your degree
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School of
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
• 16:34

  Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: events also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As

• 17:28
  Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid, you'd like to
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: as well. And again they do after hours calls. There's
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help. And they do those
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six orty five eight forty five hundred,

  Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carrol Morning Show. Right after
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: the break, well, did you notice over the course of
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: the summer that bikinis were smaller and tinier this year?
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: It seems that and this is just the way it's written.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Please pardon me. This is not my verbiage. This is
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: from the story Thongs and cheeky cuts ruled the beach
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: and pool designers, scrambling to keep up with demand for
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: less fabric and more sass brands that once focused on modesty,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: have had to pivot, and they say that some of
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: this has been driven by shows like Bachelor in Paradise
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: in Love Island, where not a whole lot is covered
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: up and some is just part of a bigger trend.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Isabella McKay, founder of swimwear brand Isabella Miera, explained five
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: years ago, we'd probably sell seventy percent full coverage. Now
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: I'd say we probably sell seventy percent cheeky.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Her words, not mine. That's a quote.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Wonder if uh Sidney Sweeney has any ads come in
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: front of these companies. I'm just curious. Meeting people in
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: real life is back. Hiking clubs are the latest answer
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: to dating app fatigue. There's a lot to love about
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: it besides the appeal of getting to know someone while
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: exploring the great outdoors. Hiking is inexpensive, good for the wallet,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: good for you, great way to boost your physical and
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: mental health. And you know right away you found an
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: activity that you both like if you both go on
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: these hiking club adventures together. So the definition of adulthood
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: seems to be changing. A recent census report found that
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: fewer young adults are hitting the traditional milestones like moving out,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: getting a job, getting married, having kids, all those things.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: In nineteen seventy five, forty five percent of twenty five
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: to thirty four year olds had checked all four boxes.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: These days, it's about twenty one percent have done all
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: four of those things. Of course, things have changed since
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: nineteen seventy five. Not everyone is on a mission to
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: settle down and have kids, so if you take marriage
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: and kids off the table, the census report found that
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: twenty eight percent of young adults have moved away from
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: home and started working, which is still a lot less
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: than fifty years ago. Interesting, not surprising, but interesting. Nothing
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: can ruin a day at the beach quite like a
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: menacing seabird flying overhead, making you wonder when it's going to,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: you know, relieve itself. And eventually they do. That's a certainty.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: According to seabird researcher Leo Yusaka, scientist at the University
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: of Tokyo, has spent countless hours watching bird footage or
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: that many seabirds only poop wall flying, and they are
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: very regular, usually every four to ten minutes. Even when
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: they're perched atop something or floating in the water. They
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: will take flight when they need to do business and
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: when they do it, though, it's still a mystery exactly
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: why they do it. Usaka says that while no one
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: wants to get pooped on, it's simply just science.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: In action, but still a mystery.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, isn't that what the scientists are supposed to
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: be getting to the bottom of though? I mean I
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: thought that was the whole point, right. Iikia known for
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: furniture that you have to assemble yourself and maybe struggle with,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: and they're also known for their Swedish meatballs, and now
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: the company finally launching an item to hold its world
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: famous food. It's a twelve piece Gustav Westman collection that's
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: launching on September ninth, including a chunky blue serving dish
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: shaped to fit exactly eleven of the delicious morsels. The
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: company says it puts them in a celebratory row, Westman
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: says in Swedish meatballs, Westman says, in Sweden, meatballs mean
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Christmas and this plate is my way of honoring that tradition.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: That design is simple, lining up the meatball so each
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: one is visible, like they're sitting on little thrones. Why eleven,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what the why eleven?
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Is there an answer to this question? It really bothers
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: me about a dozen meatballs, you know. I mean, if
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: there's two people in your family, it's an odd number.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: If there's three people in your family, it's still an
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: odd number of meatballs to go around. If you got
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: four or five, there's no way to make this make sense.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: Unless there's eleven people in your family, then everybody gets
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: one meatball. Ever thought about what your legacy be when
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: you eventually leave the world, or do you care? According
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: to a new survey, fifty four percent of Americans so
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: they want to leave a mark on the world. Eighty
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: percent said they care more about the impression they leave
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: on their loved ones. Eighty two percent of people say
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: they think about this more and more as they get older.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: The survey also finds that aging changes what we value
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: the most. As people grow older, sixty one percent say
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: they appreciate small things more, while fifty three percent deliberately
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: savor good moments instead of rushing through them. Forty nine
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: percent say they said that they see the beauty in
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: life more clearly. Forty five percent say they're determined to
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: make everyday count. Fifty percent say as they get older,
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: maintaining tight relationships with family and friends becomes the most
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: important thing.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: That's nice.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Friday edition of the show.

  Speaker 2: Space Science Center, where doctor Sean Cruisin and I often

  Speaker 2: like to discuss the science behind the science fiction and
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: the connections between where science fiction sometimes leads to science
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: science sometimes leads to science fiction. It's just a weird
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: connection that's already there. It's built into it. And I
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: say it's weird, but it's really not. It makes perfect sense.
