Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Friday morning, twenty fifth day of April. I'm Wes, thanks
- 0:12Speaker 2: for joining me. Last week, I did my best to
- 0:17Speaker 2: stay away from any Florida stories. I know that Florida
- 0:22Speaker 2: Man Florida woman seems to be a regular occurrence on
- 0:26Speaker 2: our Strange and Bizarre News from around the World. My
- 0:30Speaker 2: buddy Colin pointed it out, and I thought, well, I'm
- 0:32Speaker 2: gonna try to do a whole week where I didn't
- 0:34Speaker 2: have any Florida stories. We managed to pull that off
- 0:38Speaker 2: last week. Now the end result is because I didn't
- 0:41Speaker 2: spread them out over the two week period, we have
- 0:44Speaker 2: an abundance. It won't be all though. I got a
- 0:47Speaker 2: couple of good ones out of China if we get
- 0:49Speaker 2: to all of them, but I've got an abundance of
- 0:52Speaker 2: Florida stories. We'll start in clear Water, Florida, where a
- 1:01Speaker 2: basically forty nine year old Daniel Sirieo something like that,
- 1:08Speaker 2: who appeared in an Applebe's parking lot, dressed in a
- 1:10Speaker 2: pink wig, fake breast, pink thong and started to cause
- 1:13Speaker 2: a disturbance. This was at an Applebee's clear Water Florida.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Witnesses say he was drunk, you think, stumbling around trying
- 1:20Speaker 2: to interpart cars. Police recalled and he was questioned by deputies.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Couldn't answer simple questions about where he was or what
- 1:28Speaker 2: he was doing. He lives in an apartment near that
- 1:31Speaker 2: Applebee's location. Was arrested for disorderly intoxication. No one seems
- 1:37Speaker 2: to know why he was dressed the way he was dressed,
- 1:41Speaker 2: which again was fake breast's pink wig and a pink thong,
- 1:47Speaker 2: and I guess nothing else. So all right, let's sad
- 1:51Speaker 2: down to or over to Orlando. Stopping a truck driver
- 1:55Speaker 2: in investigating him for human trafficking sounds like a busy
- 1:59Speaker 2: day at work a police officer, or at least a
- 2:01Speaker 2: drunk man pretending to be a police officer. The fifty
- 2:06Speaker 2: one year old Orlando man was arrested for impersonating law
- 2:09Speaker 2: enforcement after he allegedly approached a driver of a Walmart
- 2:14Speaker 2: truck because he suspected him of human trafficking. The victim
- 2:19Speaker 2: told the real cops that a man named Michael Diaz
- 2:23Speaker 2: approached him in his truck outside a Walmart store and
- 2:26Speaker 2: asked for his license. He then ordered him to climb
- 2:28Speaker 2: out of the truck. The driver complied, but became suspicious
- 2:32Speaker 2: when he knows Diaz didn't have a gun or a radio,
- 2:35Speaker 2: and maybe most importantly, I don't know the gun's pretty important.
- 2:39Speaker 2: He didn't have a badge, just a business card containing
- 2:42Speaker 2: his name and a Florida Sheriff's Association logo on it.
- 2:46Speaker 2: The truck driver called the police, and that's ultimately when
- 2:50Speaker 2: Diaz got in his vehicle and left the scene. Police
- 2:53Speaker 2: caught up with him and arrested him for impersonating an officer.
- 2:57Speaker 2: He also appeared to be intoxicate. He told officers that
- 3:02Speaker 2: he suspected the truck driver was guilty of human trafficking.
- 3:06Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, at least he wasn't wearing a
- 3:14Speaker 2: thong and a pink wig, right, if you didn't already
- 3:19Speaker 2: know cocaine was dangerous. This story coming again from Florida,
- 3:24Speaker 2: Florida Police notifying that a man named Edward Cocaine was
- 3:28Speaker 2: arrested over the weekend and pulled a knife on an
- 3:32Speaker 2: employee of a fast food restaurant. The appropriately named forty
- 3:36Speaker 2: five year old lost his cool when he and a
- 3:38Speaker 2: friend went into a neighborhood subway restaurant and met with
- 3:41Speaker 2: an employee who they say had a bad attitude. Cocaine
- 3:45Speaker 2: started shouting at workers who ignored him, and that upset
- 3:49Speaker 2: him even more enough that he jumped over the counter
- 3:51Speaker 2: and threatened one with a knife. Cocaine then raised his
- 3:56Speaker 2: knife that he'd picked up over his head, drawing it
- 3:58Speaker 2: back in a manner suggested of potential strike. According to
- 4:02Speaker 2: the report, he faces charges of aggravated assault, burglary with
- 4:06Speaker 2: assault or battery and battery. Let me get these chargeses try.
- 4:11Speaker 2: I not only am not a police officer, I also
- 4:13Speaker 2: don't impersonate one faces charges of aggravated assault, burglary with
- 4:20Speaker 2: assault or battery and battery. I don't know what that means,
- 4:23Speaker 2: but that's what it's worded. This comes from the Sheriff's office.
- 4:26Speaker 2: I'm assuming Michael Diaz may have been the one who
- 4:29Speaker 2: filled out this report. It doesn't say what. It doesn't
- 4:32Speaker 2: say what city, which particular city in Florida where this
- 4:37Speaker 2: took place. So perhaps it took place in Orlando. I
- 4:40Speaker 2: don't know. All right, let's shove up to Canada. Montreal
- 4:43Speaker 2: man fighting the city over an egregious and sneaky parking
- 4:47Speaker 2: ticket that he got earlier in the month. Leno Monteleone
- 4:53Speaker 2: says his daughter parked a car in the street in
- 4:55Speaker 2: front of their home overnight, as she does every night,
- 4:59Speaker 2: and then when I in the morning to find a
- 5:00Speaker 2: ticket on her car, it made no sense to him
- 5:03Speaker 2: until they noticed the sign that had been installed making
- 5:06Speaker 2: that particular section of the street a city bus stop.
- 5:09Speaker 2: They were stunned and reviewed the doorbell camera footage and
- 5:12Speaker 2: saw the crew working earlier in that morning putting in
- 5:16Speaker 2: the sign. A short while later, a parking agent left
- 5:19Speaker 2: a ticket on the car. Monteleone made a contact with
- 5:25Speaker 2: a city authority and said he was told it can't
- 5:28Speaker 2: be canceled once it's been issued and they will have
- 5:30Speaker 2: to go to court to contest it. Crazy Canadians made
- 5:34Speaker 2: the situation even more frustrating for him. Monteleone says that
- 5:38Speaker 2: since the sign was installed, he hasn't even seen one
- 5:41Speaker 2: bus stop there, so maybe it's coming, but it just
- 5:47Speaker 2: hasn't happened yet. I suppose all right. Chinese man has
- 5:52Speaker 2: been evicted from his second apartment this year, all because
- 5:55Speaker 2: of his unusual pet. Probably thinking snake, that's what most
- 6:00Speaker 2: people kind of think when they hear this. That's Honestly,
- 6:02Speaker 2: what I thought probably some kind of reptile, but it's not.
- 6:07Speaker 2: It's what it should be, something that you just think
- 6:09Speaker 2: of when you think of pets in China, A buffalo.
- 6:15Speaker 2: I don't know how you get a buffalo in China.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Do they have lots of them? I don't know. I'm sorry,
- 6:19Speaker 2: pardon my ignorance on this. The thirty year old retired
- 6:22Speaker 2: boxer and fitness coach wanted a pet, planned to get
- 6:25Speaker 2: a dog and then opt instead for a young buffalo
- 6:29Speaker 2: because he thought it would inspire him to work hard
- 6:32Speaker 2: and not overdo it. I don't know what that means.
- 6:34Speaker 2: I don't know what that means. Does that make any sense?
- 6:37Speaker 2: The animal has gotten big and messier than most other pets,
- 6:42Speaker 2: so landlords have kicked him out twice because he refuses
- 6:45Speaker 2: to part with his buffalo calf that he named Bold
- 6:49Speaker 2: Demon King. That's what you name in buffalo? I mean, famously.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Has there ever been a buffalo not named Bull Demon
- 6:56Speaker 2: King a pet? When anyway? Video is showing the man
- 7:00Speaker 2: caring for the buffalo gone viral on social media, and
- 7:03Speaker 2: he takes the animal out for walks, puts clothes on him,
- 7:06Speaker 2: bathes them in the shower. Of course, he says, Bull
- 7:09Speaker 2: Demon King is very gentle and calm and only becomes
- 7:13Speaker 2: restless when he's hungry, which is probably all the time.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Some critics on social media have accused him of using
- 7:21Speaker 2: the buffalo for attention. Who would use social media for attention?
- 7:26Speaker 2: But he insists that he wouldn't keep risking eviction if
- 7:29Speaker 2: he didn't genuinely love his pet. He's got a point there.
- 7:34Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard to argue with that. You can
- 7:35Speaker 2: argue maybe with the having a pet buffalo, You can
- 7:39Speaker 2: argue maybe with naming him Bull Demon King, but you
- 7:42Speaker 2: can't argue with he probably loves the pet that he's
- 7:46Speaker 2: keeping and being evicted and taking from place to place.
- 7:50Speaker 2: All right. Mail carriers work hard every day and they
- 7:54Speaker 2: deserve to take a lunch break, just not liquid lunch.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Postal worker in Melbourne, Florida was arrested on dui charges
- 8:02Speaker 2: after she delivered mail to a house. A female man
- 8:06Speaker 2: delivered mail to a house where a was it. The
- 8:09Speaker 2: Simpsons delivered mail to a house where a party was
- 8:13Speaker 2: going on decided to stay and have a few drinks.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Thirty three year old at Caitlinde was arrested after police
- 8:20Speaker 2: received a call about a postal truck driving the wrong
- 8:23Speaker 2: way and swerving. When officers pulled her over, they noticed
- 8:27Speaker 2: that she appeared confused and disoriented. She ultimately failed a
- 8:31Speaker 2: field sobriety test. Officers say she told him she was
- 8:35Speaker 2: invited to the party and had some vodka shots. So
- 8:39Speaker 2: let me just say this, and certainly don't ever drink
- 8:42Speaker 2: and drive. I am no advocate for drinking and driving
- 8:45Speaker 2: in any way, all right, And if you go to
- 8:47Speaker 2: a party and you have some vodka shots, by all means,
- 8:50Speaker 2: even if you're a postal worker, you know you should
- 8:53Speaker 2: make other arrangements. I know you're probably going to get fired,
- 8:57Speaker 2: but you should make other arrangements. You know something, Hey,
- 9:01Speaker 2: the my postal truck broke down. Something. Even if you've
- 9:05Speaker 2: got to yank the spark plugs out, you got to
- 9:07Speaker 2: come up with something so that you don't have to
- 9:09Speaker 2: drive the car around. But here's the other thing. You're
- 9:12Speaker 2: in a postal vehicle. I assume it's one of those
- 9:14Speaker 2: ones where you're driving on the wrong side of the car.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Probably very confusing. If you're intoxicated, you know, you're sitting
- 9:21Speaker 2: on the wrong side of the car. Maybe everything's kind
- 9:23Speaker 2: of flipped backwards. Probably really easy to start going the
- 9:26Speaker 2: wrong way on the street, That's all I'm trying to say. So, yeah,
- 9:29Speaker 2: pull a spark plug, call for some assistance, try to
- 9:34Speaker 2: sober up, you know, let them take you back. I
- 9:37Speaker 2: don't know what they do at that point. Do they
- 9:38Speaker 2: put you in a different car, do they work on
- 9:40Speaker 2: it while you're there? I don't know how that works.
- 9:43Speaker 2: I'm just trying to help. You shouldn't have driven, That's
- 9:45Speaker 2: what I'm getting at. Probably shouldn't have taken the vodka shots,
- 9:48Speaker 2: all right? Still in Florida, a Florida man who keeps
- 9:51Speaker 2: getting arrested for impersonating a cop. Oh, we got another
- 9:54Speaker 2: one of these. Not very good at it, because this
- 9:59Speaker 2: is a six year old Albert Dolan pulled over another
- 10:03Speaker 2: driver for speeding and asked for his license and registration.
- 10:06Speaker 2: The driver complied and then asked to see the fake
- 10:09Speaker 2: officer's badge. Dolan ignored him, said he was going to
- 10:13Speaker 2: let him off with a warning, but the driver was
- 10:15Speaker 2: suspicious called the real police gave him Dolan's license plate number.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Police later spotted Dolan's car and immediately recognized him because
- 10:23Speaker 2: he has multiple arrests for doing the same thing, and
- 10:26Speaker 2: he's actually served time in jail. Police say Dolan as
- 10:28Speaker 2: a history of buying former police vehicles and then posing
- 10:32Speaker 2: as an officer. All right. Another one in Florida offering
- 10:36Speaker 2: someone a drink friendly thing to do, just not necessarily
- 10:41Speaker 2: the police. A Florida man, Richard Christopher Smith, was arrested
- 10:47Speaker 2: after offering deputies a hard seltzer doing a miles long
- 10:51Speaker 2: car chase. The pursuit began when deputies responded to a
- 10:53Speaker 2: report of a theft at a convenience store. Smith was
- 10:56Speaker 2: circling the store in a black mini van before speeding off.
- 11:00Speaker 2: At one point during the chase, Smith led sorry. He
- 11:03Speaker 2: held out a kettle on vodka, sprints out the window,
- 11:07Speaker 2: and told deputies, I was just going to offer you
- 11:09Speaker 2: a drink. That's it. The chase, which has now gone viral,
- 11:14Speaker 2: came to a head in an airport parking lot, where
- 11:16Speaker 2: Smith tried to ram his van into two patrol cars.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Officers had to deploy spike strips to stop him. As
- 11:23Speaker 2: Smith slowly exited the vehicle, he was calmly smoking a cigarette.
- 11:26Speaker 2: Nast deputies. You guys had fun, though, right. Deputies not amused,
- 11:31Speaker 2: and they arrested him on charges of aggravated assault on
- 11:35Speaker 2: a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest, EUI, and petty theft.
- 11:40Speaker 2: So none of this adds up to a good time.
- 11:45Speaker 2: I mean, I guess for this guy, maybe he enjoyed himself.
- 11:48Speaker 2: I don't know. But this is this is even more
- 11:53Speaker 2: dangerous than the postal worker situation because he got a
- 11:57Speaker 2: high speed chase. You got people chasing you all right
- 12:00Speaker 2: back to China. Chinese man landed in the hospital with
- 12:03Speaker 2: a fungal lung infection due to a bizarre and disgusting
- 12:05Speaker 2: habit he has. Doesn't involve a buffalo. It's a habit
- 12:09Speaker 2: of smelling dirty socks, dirty dirty socks. Man took himself
- 12:16Speaker 2: to the hospital after days of suffering from a persistent
- 12:19Speaker 2: cough that was not getting better with cough medicine. Doctors
- 12:24Speaker 2: Rantesque performed some scans which showed some suspicious shadows in
- 12:27Speaker 2: one of his lungs. A broncoscobee then helped doctors determine
- 12:32Speaker 2: he had a fungal infection. Upon questioning, the man admitted
- 12:37Speaker 2: to doctors that he had developed the habit of smelling
- 12:39Speaker 2: his own dirty socks at the end of every day.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Doctor sent his socks to the lab for analysis and
- 12:46Speaker 2: found traces of a fungus known as aspergillis, which was
- 12:52Speaker 2: likely the cause of his infection. That's a strange I
- 12:58Speaker 2: don't want to judge. I don't want to judge. People
- 13:01Speaker 2: got their I got my quirks. I got my things
- 13:04Speaker 2: that I do, I got my things that I say,
- 13:06Speaker 2: I got my own bad habits. This is a weird one.
- 13:10Speaker 2: I don't want to judge. This is a weird one.
- 13:13Speaker 2: At the end of the day, taking a big old
- 13:15Speaker 2: inhalation of your nasty, fungus ridden socks. Maybe you didn't
- 13:21Speaker 2: know there was a fungus there. I don't know. Residents
- 13:24Speaker 2: of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, were having a bit of a
- 13:27Speaker 2: cow man back to the Simpsons last Wednesday overheard of
- 13:31Speaker 2: cattle that stampeded through several neighborhoods. A storm had apparently
- 13:36Speaker 2: spooked the cows at a farm in Doylestown, and twenty
- 13:39Speaker 2: five of them started running to Electric fences were no
- 13:42Speaker 2: match for the determination as they made it into the streets,
- 13:46Speaker 2: where locals were shocked. At one point, the herd split
- 13:49Speaker 2: into two. One group went into the woods, the other
- 13:52Speaker 2: went through people's front yards. Ten of the cows were
- 13:54Speaker 2: wrangled up outside a beer distribution center, with local police
- 13:59Speaker 2: and some residents working together to eventually recapture all of
- 14:02Speaker 2: the remaining cows except for one have her named Gracie,
- 14:05Speaker 2: who kept running for more hours, a few more hours,
- 14:09Speaker 2: I guess, until she was eventually corralled and brought back
- 14:12Speaker 2: to the farm. But they eventually got them all. You know,
- 14:17Speaker 2: No word on where the small buffalo was. All right,
- 14:22Speaker 2: go to Silicon Valley now as computer nerds who a
- 14:25Speaker 2: week ago hacked into a crosswalk and basically a few
- 14:30Speaker 2: California cities. They were playing AI generated messages impersonating Mark
- 14:35Speaker 2: Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. They seemed to have taken their
- 14:40Speaker 2: hacking now up the coast to Seattle. Pedestrians and the
- 14:43Speaker 2: Emerald City recently pushed crosswalk buttons at some intersections and
- 14:47Speaker 2: heard an AI generated recording of the voice of Jeff Bezos,
- 14:51Speaker 2: founder of Amazon. The message said, Hi, I'm Jeff Bezos,
- 14:54Speaker 2: as crosswalk is sponsored by Amazon Prime, with an important message,
- 14:59Speaker 2: please don't tax the rich, otherwise all the billionaires will
- 15:03Speaker 2: move to Florida too. The Seattle Department of Transportation is
- 15:08Speaker 2: investigating the hack and said, we are concerned that someone
- 15:12Speaker 2: would disregard people's safety to make a political statement. Doesn't
- 15:17Speaker 2: seem like words to come from people in Seattle, does it.
- 15:20Speaker 2: We take this matter seriously and have been working as
- 15:22Speaker 2: fast as we can to respond to the situation. We
- 15:25Speaker 2: are also working with our vendor to explore stronger security
- 15:29Speaker 2: measures to prevent future hacking. Not to pick on the
- 15:32Speaker 2: people of Seattle, I just remember when they took over
- 15:35Speaker 2: some buildings and sections of a city, and so they
- 15:38Speaker 2: don't want any political statements. What do you call to
- 15:40Speaker 2: people's safety being in danger? Certainly not at all. Today's
- 15:45Speaker 2: show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola
- 15:48Speaker 2: Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and future
- 15:54Speaker 2: STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages.
- 15:59Speaker 2: I mean they do it for school age kids as
- 16:02Speaker 2: school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center,
- 16:05Speaker 2: but they also do it through their university programs where
- 16:08Speaker 2: you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in
- 16:14Speaker 2: space and STEM fields are booming right now and you
- 16:17Speaker 2: can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their
- 16:21Speaker 2: website CCSSC dot org. While you're there. Also check out
- 16:27Speaker 2: some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration
- 16:32Speaker 2: that they do with the Schwob School of Music from
- 16:35Speaker 2: Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike
- 16:38Speaker 2: any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's
- 16:42Speaker 2: one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
- 16:45Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
- 16:48Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
- 16:54Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
- 16:58Speaker 2: Science Center and the new Sea of Music under the Dome.
- 17:01Speaker 2: Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check
- 17:06Speaker 2: out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you
- 17:08Speaker 2: can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola
- 17:11Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
- 17:15Speaker 2: city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you
- 17:17Speaker 2: can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also
- 17:21Speaker 2: on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin
- 17:25Speaker 2: says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind
- 17:30Speaker 2: you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center
- 17:34Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
- 17:38Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage door needs,
- 17:41Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
- 17:47Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
- 17:51Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
- 17:55Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
- 17:58Speaker 2: square and that away for you, and while they're there,
- 18:00Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
- 18:03Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 18:09Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 18:12Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 18:14Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 18:18Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
- 18:21Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 18:25Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 18:28Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 18:31Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 18:34Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 18:37Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 18:40Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 18:42Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid. You'd like to
- 18:45Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 18:46Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 18:49Speaker 2: as well, And again they do after hours calls. There's
- 18:52Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 18:55Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
- 18:58Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
- 19:01Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,
- 19:04Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O
- 19:07Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after
- 19:12Speaker 2: the break. All right, So, a lot of folks in
- 19:23Speaker 2: the gen Z age group think that AI is going
- 19:27Speaker 2: to make college degrees irrelevant. A new Harris poll finds
- 19:32Speaker 2: nearly fifty percent of gen Z's in the job market
- 19:36Speaker 2: today gen Z's gen Zs say that AI has made
- 19:41Speaker 2: their college education unnecessary, compared to thirty three percent of
- 19:44Speaker 2: millennials who feel that way, and the trend of minimizing
- 19:48Speaker 2: the importance of a college degree in job listings has
- 19:50Speaker 2: cost half of the gen Z job seekers to see
- 19:54Speaker 2: getting one as a waste of their time and money.
- 20:00Speaker 2: I suppose that sentiment could have been applied to smartphones
- 20:04Speaker 2: in general, the computers, the Internet. I don't know, I mean,
- 20:08Speaker 2: I get, I guess where this thinking is. But it's
- 20:10Speaker 2: interesting to me that this hasn't already been applied in
- 20:14Speaker 2: other areas as well. So, and what happens when the
- 20:18Speaker 2: system goes down? When it crashes and goes down, and
- 20:22Speaker 2: then you need people to have some sense, you know,
- 20:28Speaker 2: I mean? Anyway, speaking of Ai China, an AI powered
- 20:34Speaker 2: shampooing machine is taking over hair salons, causing an AI
- 20:39Speaker 2: shampooing craze. These high tech gadgets apparently use infrared sensors
- 20:44Speaker 2: to scan your scalp and choose the perfect shampoo and
- 20:48Speaker 2: washing technique based on your hair type. I suppose head
- 20:51Speaker 2: shape too, and it not only washes your hair, but
- 20:55Speaker 2: also gives you a massage. No more awkward small talk
- 20:58Speaker 2: with a person shampooing your hair, where you just sit back,
- 21:01Speaker 2: relax and let the robots do the work. Doesn't sound
- 21:05Speaker 2: bad until you start thinking, well, what happens when the
- 21:07Speaker 2: robots want to smash some skulls? And I assume they
- 21:10Speaker 2: would be capable of that. If you needed a college
- 21:14Speaker 2: degree to wash people's hair, I would think that this
- 21:17Speaker 2: would be an area where maybe you would decide not
- 21:19Speaker 2: to get a college degree based on AI, right. I
- 21:24Speaker 2: mean that just kind of makes sense, doesn't it. Well,
- 21:28Speaker 2: you may have seen it on social media already, but
- 21:32Speaker 2: it is starting to gain even more momentum and starting
- 21:36Speaker 2: to I mean already caught on. I've seen it from
- 21:39Speaker 2: a number of people, but seems to be mostly young
- 21:41Speaker 2: people that I've seen doing it. But if you remember
- 21:44Speaker 2: the ice Bucket Challenge from back in twenty fourteen, it's
- 21:48Speaker 2: now called the Speak Your Mind Ice Bucket Challenge about
- 21:51Speaker 2: raising awareness for mental health. The original OG Ice Bucket
- 21:56Speaker 2: Challenge was to raise money and awareness about als. The
- 21:59Speaker 2: new challenge UNGE, created by students at the University of
- 22:02Speaker 2: South Carolina, has already raised nearly three hundred thousand dollars
- 22:06Speaker 2: for Active Minds, a national youth mental health nonprofit. Just
- 22:11Speaker 2: like the original OG, you grab a bucket full of
- 22:14Speaker 2: ice water and dump it or have someone dump it
- 22:17Speaker 2: on your head and record it and challenge your friends
- 22:19Speaker 2: to do it. Controversy, of course comes with it. It
- 22:23Speaker 2: was there with the first one. Some say the new
- 22:24Speaker 2: challenge overshadows the original, which was meant to bring attention
- 22:28Speaker 2: to a disease that few people knew about. Others say
- 22:32Speaker 2: the new challenge will actually help bring more attention to
- 22:34Speaker 2: the original als ice Bucket challenge, and of course, others
- 22:38Speaker 2: say bringing attention to mental health is also important. Peyton Manning,
- 22:43Speaker 2: James Charles others taking part in this starting to some
- 22:48Speaker 2: bringing attention to both. I guess James Charles saying he
- 22:51Speaker 2: wants to bring attention to als and mental health. So
- 22:56Speaker 2: there you go. I've never heard of James Charles. I'm
- 22:59Speaker 2: just to be honest with you, and I see I
- 23:02Speaker 2: guess a video of James Charles, and yeah, I'm not
- 23:08Speaker 2: even sure. And this is not me making a joke.
- 23:10Speaker 2: I don't know if I got the pronoun right, so
- 23:13Speaker 2: I want to be respectful. Turns out dogs are our
- 23:16Speaker 2: best friends. A new study reveals that dog owners are
- 23:19Speaker 2: more satisfied with their pups than most humans in their lives,
- 23:22Speaker 2: with the exception of their kids. I think we talked
- 23:25Speaker 2: about this yesterday, didn't we, or at least a couple
- 23:28Speaker 2: of days ago. This week. According to Researcher's, dog owners
- 23:31Speaker 2: say they get more emotional support and companionship and have
- 23:35Speaker 2: fewer conflicts with their dogs. Compared to relatives, partners, or friends.
- 23:38Speaker 2: The bond between dogs and their owners it's kind of
- 23:41Speaker 2: like a parent child relationship, full of affection and very
- 23:45Speaker 2: little drama. But dogs don't replace our human connections, they
- 23:49Speaker 2: actually make them better. The study found that people who
- 23:52Speaker 2: have strong relationships with others also tend to have strong
- 23:55Speaker 2: bonds with their dogs, showing that furry friends boost our
- 23:59Speaker 2: social connecttions rather than taking their place. So there you go.
- 24:08Speaker 2: I guess James Charles is a makeup artist. I just
- 24:12Speaker 2: wanted to be I'm curious and see there's no pronouns
- 24:16Speaker 2: listed on the page. But yes, like I said, I
- 24:20Speaker 2: was not trying to be rude. I just was pointing
- 24:22Speaker 2: out the fact that I did not know the correct
- 24:26Speaker 2: pronouns and I just went with the name James Charles.
- 24:29Speaker 2: So it's one of those things that makes it just
- 24:32Speaker 2: a little bit tricky. Painted, I guess is the James
- 24:35Speaker 2: Charles painted dot co maybe is?
- 24:37Speaker 1: So.
- 24:38Speaker 2: Yes, James Charles is a makeup artist. That'll do it
- 24:41Speaker 2: for this Friday edition of the show. Thanks to our
- 24:44Speaker 2: sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch you
