  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, second day of August. I'm West Thanks for
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: starting your day with me. I failed to mention some
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: of the schools in the area started back yesterday. We
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: got more getting things underway next week. I tend to
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: be a little more focused on the school district in
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: which my kids reside, so that tends to be my focus,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: and I failed to mention some of those were back
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: at it as of yesterday and more at it again
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: obviously today. So if they're starting back and you're starting back,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: and if you're one of the teachers, and I know
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I've got several school teachers that listen, I thank you,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and I appreciate being part of your routine as you
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: get into work every day, or maybe you're listening while
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: you're on a planning period or whatever. I know a
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: few of you have mentioned that to me as well,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: So anyway, it's flattering that I get to be a
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: part of it. And I know you have a very
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: stressful time ahead of you. This is that period where
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: you start the year and you got to get the kids,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: you got to scare them, and that's the strategy. They
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: come in and you go, oh my gosh, we're going
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: to do so much work. And don't you kids think
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: we're going to be goofing around in here. This is
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: going to be serious business. We're going to load you
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: up with so much work, and you're going to do
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: so much work. And then you know, sometimes they get
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: around all that work. Sometimes it's not so much. But
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: you put the fear of God in them right at
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the beginning. That's a strategy. That's what you got to
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: do with it. You got to get in there and
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: you got to just rattle the cages a little bit
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and get them a little worked up, a little a
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: little afraid of what's coming, and then you can back
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: off a little bit. I know, I know that's the strategy.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. If there's kids listening right now that are going,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: is that what they do? I didn't know that. I
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: don't mean, I don't mean to break k fabe as
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: they say in wrestling. I'm just you know, letting you
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: know I can sympathize with you. I've got friends that
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: are teachers. I know how this works. But godspeed on
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: a great school year, and God bless you for what
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: you do. A tough job. Some of you just love
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: it and you go it's not a tough job because
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I love it. For some of you, I know, maybe
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: you're in that stretch where you're going, you know, retirements
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: around the corner. Got to get there, and I get it.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: That's where it is with a lot of jobs. But
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: for the time that you put in the benefits of
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: what you do. God bless you, and good luck with
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the next school year. It is Friday. Friday means it
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: is time for some strange and bizarre news from around
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the world. As always, there tends to be just a
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: bunch of these stories out of Florida. That's just the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: way it goes. I think that kind of fits something
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: in the stereotypes. I don't know. I don't know how
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: that works. So we will touch in and out of
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Florida a little bit this morning. First and foremost, though,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: let's jump into this story because I got a couple
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: of drug related stories this morning. So police say a
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: forty one year old whose name is Lauren Riley, was
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: a passenger in a car that was pulled over because
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: the driver wasn't wearing a seat belt. The police officer
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: looked inside the car saw Riley trying to hide drug
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: paraphernalia on the floorboard, and that prompted a subsequent search
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: of her purse and a discovery of a small bag
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: labeled bag of drugs. Inside the bag was a needle, straws,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: a metal spoon, four glass pipes, plastic baggies containing crack cocaine,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: crystal meth also in their xanax pills, and some other narcotics.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: The bag of drugs was seized and Riley was arrested
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: on multiple charges. Interesting on the labeling of the bag
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: of drugs, it made me think when I read this
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: story a few days ago, it actually made me think
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: about the the old movies, the old silent movies, when
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: they would have like the bag of cash, and they
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: would hold up the bag of cash, and you know
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: what was printed on the bag of cash just a
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: dollar sign. I'll let you know there's big money in
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the bag, just the big dollar sign. It doesn't seem
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: like a good plan. If you're trying to hide either
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: money or you're trying to hide drugs, why would you
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: label it with that? Maybe they would just think that
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: you would say, surely this bag labeled a bag of
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: drugs isn't full of drugs, and then move on to
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the next thing. I would think that maybe if you
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: put something like, you know, bag of hot wheels, cars,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I guess maybe they might be worth something.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: You got to put something that's really insignificant, something that
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: people would never ever bag of collectible spoons, you know,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: something like that. Nobody would want to go in there.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: They would probably just toss the bag aside and say,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: let's look around somewhere else. Another drug related story, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: this is a story really about determination. This is a
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: story about not giving up, okay, And we would always
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: hear these stories about people Helen Keller. Boy, that's a
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: story of determination. Well, this is a more modern story
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: of determination. US Customs and Border Protection officers at Seattle
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Tacoma International Airport caught a man from Europe who was
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: attempting to carry illegal drugs through the airport. Turns out
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: they knew the man well because just five days earlier,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: he was caught trying to do the same thing. In
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the first arrest, the forty three year old had just
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: arrived from Amsterdam and was found with twelve pounds of
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: ketamine and two pounds of codeine. He was detained and
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: eventually released after posting bail, but just ten days later,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: he showed up at the airport again and attempted to
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: board a flight to London carrying nearly a pound of ketamine.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: He was arrested again and charged with possession with intent
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: to distribute. So maybe he just thought the codeine was
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: the problem. Maybe that was the thing. He was like,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: you know what, this ketamine's fine. The codeine is what
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: they were really focused on more than anything else. I mean,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: that could be the confusion. And can you blame him?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: If that's what he thought, why wouldn't you try again?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: You know, he's not a quitter. Who wants to be
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: a quitter in the drug dealing business, in the drug
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: muling business, who likes a quitter. Nobody likes a quitter,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: even if it's in the drug muling business. A nurse's
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: aide who was working at the Indiana State Prison known
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: for her incredible lasagna that she makes. It's a delicious
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and addictive and there's a reason for that. Official say
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: at the Maximum Security Facility say that the forty six
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: year old Regina Davis was caught trying to smuggle in
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: cocaine and marijuana by burying it deep inside frozen lasagna.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Guards became suspicious when Davis, whose job at the prison
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: is to distribute medication to inmates, placed the lasagna through
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the X ray machine and they noticed something unusual inside.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: They dug around inside and found packages wrapped in an
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: electrical tape containing cocaine and marijuana. Davis initially told guards
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: that a friend gave her the lasagna and she had
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: no idea there was contraband inside, but she changed her
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: story and said that she was coerced into doing it
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: and threatened with bodily harm if she did not. Ah,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: there's the excuse. Regardless of the story, Davis was arrested
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: and charged with narcotics trafficking. You would like to think,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: you know that if she was released and back to work,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: she wouldn't quit. She wouldn't give up. I mean, that's
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the message. That's the moral of these stories, right, is
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: that you just don't quit. You don't quit. How many
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: times did she successfully pull this off before they checked it.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I didn't say. Maybe she did. Maybe
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: she had some success and thought, well, this is going
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: to be easy this time. I don't know. Sheriff's deputies
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: in Marion County, Florida Here we Go attempted to stop
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: a car that was exceeding one hundred miles an hour
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: and driving erradically. The driver of the car ignored the
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: deputy's flashing lights and refused to stop until she pulled
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: into a gas station. The deputy approached the driver, identified
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: as Christina Bermudez, as she was getting out of the
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: car to pump gas. She appeared to be surprised by
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the officer. Bermudez told him she didn't notice his bright
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: flashing lights because it was nighttime and it's so dark.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Will that make the lights more attention grabbing if it's
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: dark and the lights are flashing anyway, The officer asked
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: her to get out of the car, at which point
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: she realized that she was missing one of her shoes.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: She appeared to be impaired, but she said she'd only
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: had one beer. As the officer was questioning her, she
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: proceeded to unscrew her gas cap and start to fill
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: per tank. The deputy said, you're not getting gas now,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: and then placed her under arrest on suspicion of drunk driving.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: She later provided a breath sample showing a blood alcohol
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: level of more than double the legal limit. Yeah, I
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: don't know that it was too dark to see the
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: lights is a valid excuse? That seems weak? Don't you
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: think that just seems it seems a little weak. All right,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: here's a gross one. Residents of a Toronto apartment complex
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: recently received a letter from the property management company asking
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: them to please stop throwing feces at electrical workers. Yeah,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: you heard me. The bizarre letter showed up at the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: doors of residents who are frustrated by ongoing power outages.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Workers have been on site trying to fix the problem,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: but have only come under attack, according to reports by
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: residents who have been throwing things off their balconies at them,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: including waste. I'm assuming from the story of the Human variety.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Someone posted a letter on social media and said, yes,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: they're still without power, which is nuts. Though one elevator
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: now works. I don't know how that does. How do
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: you have one elev elevator working if there's no power?
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: But anyway, Ah, but can you imagine flinging pooh at
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the people trying to fix the situation. I'm just reading
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: a quote, Okay, I wouldn't dare say the word pooh
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: unless it was in a quote. I guess I just did.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: The management company urges residents to leave the workers alone
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: to do their work because throwing things at them from
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the upper balconies is disrupting their efforts. Also, it's disgusting,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: all right? Can we establish that that it's not okay
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: to ever do that? Ever, there's no circumstance where that's okay.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I mean maybe if they threw it at you and
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: you threw it back. Okay, maybe there's a couple circumstances,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: but certainly not people that are just that are just
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: trying to do their jobs and help you out. I
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: guess a man is in jail. This is in Florida,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. And they call this the Florida man
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: TRIFECTA Public intoxication, theft and indecent exposure. Police responded to
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: a call about an unruly man in a Marriott hotel
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: on Marco Island. When officers arrived, a group of people
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: at the pool say an extremely intoxicated man identified as
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: fifty one year old Alberto Hernandez stole their phones, which
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: they had wrapped up inside a towel and left on
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: a table. While the group was arguing with Hernandez, three
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: women approached the officers and told them that while they
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: were in the tub, Hernandez exposed himself and was also
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: saying how you doing to himself and then, as if
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: that wasn't enough, deputies were questioning him, Hernandez stood up
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: from his chair and pulled down his swimsuit, again exposing himself.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Arrested in charge with exposure and disorderly intoxication. So it
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: doesn't say theft, attempted theft even in there, but that's
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: pretty it's pretty good grounds for, you know, Florida Man
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: of the Year. I guess something like that back in
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Florida again and Dustin a Florida man under arrest but
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: clean as a whistle after broke into a terrified woman's
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: house and took a shower. Cops in Deston say they
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: received a phone call from a homeowner about five point
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: thirty in the morning saying a man had forced his
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: way into her home through the bedroom door and she
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: was hiding out in a locked bathroom. Officers entered the
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: home found the intruder, identified as twenty seven year old
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Harrison Lee, taking a shower in the master bathroom. He
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: was placed under arrest, wrapped in a towel, and removed
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: from the house, charged with burglary and criminal mischief. Homeowner
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: was frightened but unharmed. I guess when you get to
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: the jail and they have to do the full like
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: body check and like in Shawshank, did they still dump
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: the lye on you and all that stuff. I guess
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: that would be easier. I mean, he would all be,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: you know, undressed. They just have to take off the towel.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Texas man who first appeared in the
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: news back in April when he legally changed his name
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: to literally anybody else and then announced that he's running
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: for president is still taking his candidacy seriously and asking
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: for write in votes. Mister Elise, a thirty five year
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: old middle school math teacher and a military veteran, formerly
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: known as Dustin e. B eb e Y not eBay.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's pronounced eBay, but it's eb e Y, says
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: he changed his name to protest presidential politics because he
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: doesn't like any of the options in this year's election.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: He failed to get his name on the ballot in
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Texas because he fell short of the one hundred and
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: thirteen thousand signatures required by the Texas Secretary of State.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: So he launched a write end vote campaign. Oh, he
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: didn't get enough of the votes. This is just suppressing
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: the votes of the people, the will of the people,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: he told heuston ABC affiliate. It's not necessarily about drawing
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: attentions to my grievances, but about giving a place for
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: anyone who shares these grievances to come together to a
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: focal point. We have these scattered opinions like life going
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: on every which way, as my dad would say, and
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: this name gives everybody something to point to, to channel
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: that being to one movement, to one message, and that
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: could hopefully have a meaningful impact. He has else, I
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: guess is his last name. Has even picked a running mate,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: a New Yorker named Neil David Sutz who is currently
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: living in Switzerland. So I think they should have changed
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: that name too. I don't know that literally anybody else,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: and Neil David Suttz quite has the pop to it,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: you know. I mean, maybe he could change his name
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: to you know, Michael Rotch and they could have fun
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: with all of their I guess I don't know police
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: in Vero Beach, Florida. I had a bizarre run in
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: with royalty when cops responded to calls about a man
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: sleeping in a stairwell of a senior living apartment and
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: arrived to find forty four year old Gregory Gornell standing
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: sand's clothing in the common area. Gornell told officers at
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the apartment complex was under new management and that the
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Emperor had granted him permission to stay because he's the
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Emperor's helper. When asked how to get in touch with
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: this so called Emperor, Gornell told them that they can
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: communicate through the electric lines. Gornell, who had previously been
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: banned from the building, was arrested and charged with trespassing.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: There's an Emperor's new clothes joke in here somewhere. I
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: feel like that could be made somewhere. It's there, but
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: it's just more exciting fun from Florida, right, all right, Well,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: jump to Georgia. I'll be fair and I'll do one
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: in Georgia and wrap things up with this one. A
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: pizza order has landed a Georgia woman behind bars if
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: she asked for extra cheese, and apparently physical violence cops
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: responded to a Sam's Club store where a mother and
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: her two daughters ordered a pizza as the store was
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: about to close. The worker told them they were closing
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: and would not have enough time to make their order.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: That's when the mother later identified is Andreanna McKnight and
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: one of her daughter's Victoria Wilson, who happens to be
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: twenty weeks pregnant, entered the kitchen and punched the worker
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: in the face. Other workers had to jump in and
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: break it up. Mgnight has been arrested. Her pregnant daughter,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: who was taken to the hospital to be checked out,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: now has a warrant out for her arrest. So people
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: get serious, they get serious about them Sam's Club pizza slices.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: I mean it's pizza by the slice. It's a good price.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can can't blame them for getting serious
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: about it. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: University's Coca Cola Space Science inspiring and educating the youth

• 19:08
  Speaker 2: care of square in that away for you, and while
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe You're looking at a situation where you'd like to
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid, you'd
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: for you as well, And again they do after hours calls.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,

  Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right after
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: the break well, the latest AI is taking our jobs
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: story hits us at Taco Bell. They say, in an
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: effort to reduce labor costs and improve speed of service,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Taco Bell rolling out an AI drive through ordering service.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: They say they'll have the new systems in place at
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: hundreds of locations by the end of the year. How
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: does the AI play into this. If you're driving up,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: can it tell what you want to order by what
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: kind of car you're driving or does it look at you?
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Is it kind of gauge based on your appearance, how
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: much food you're going to order, or what you might
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: like to eat. I don't know. I'm a little confused
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: at how this might work. You probably have noticed that
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: over the years the planet Uranus slowly became Urinus. That's
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: always been a sore thing for me, because I don't
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: understand why the change. Well, astronomers are saying, well, the
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: reason for that is because it's always been Urinus and
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: not Uranus. So my question ultimately is how is one
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: less likely to make middle schoolers giggle than the other?
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: One is you know, Uranus and the other one is Urinus.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: I don't understand how it's an improvement, But they say
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: it's not about that. It's really just about this is
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: the right way to say it. How about we call
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: it by its original name, George, or the Georgian planet,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: since that's what Herschel wanted to call it to begin with.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: After King George. We'd have some connections here in the
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: state of Georgia to the planet right. I mean that
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: would make it a little bit more of a connection,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: or we can just call it uranus if that's what
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: we want to do. A new study says lifting weights
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: reduces body fat as effectively as doing cardio. Researchers in
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Europe found that doing cardio definitely helps your heart and lungs,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: but lifting weights pumping iron just as effective, maybe even
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: more effective, in actually taking on fat in our bodies.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: So keep that in mind. During some recent interviews, Olympic
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: swimmers admitted to some things that we probably all assumed
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: were happening all along. Yeah, they be in the pool.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: It takes swimmers in some cases about twenty minutes to
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: get into their really really skin tight swimsuits, and they're
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: hydrating right up until race time. So what are they
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: going to do? How are they going to go to
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the bathroom? If it takes twenty minutes to do that,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: they don't have time to do all of that. So, yeah,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: they're In most cases, it's a big pool. I guess
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: that's the one that's the one little bit of consolation,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: is those Olympic sized pools or big they're really really
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: big pools. So maybe that helps with the I don't know,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: but they're all doing it, I guess, and they pretty
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: much know they're all doing it, so I don't know.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I forgot to mention yesterday. So it's August. So we're
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: kicking off National Wellness Month, National Peach Month. That's good
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: here in Georgia, National Golf Month, Family Fun Month, Romance
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Awareness Month. Are you aware of romance? If not, you
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: should definitely pay more attention in the month of August
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: so that that way you can become more aware of romance.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: National Fishing Month. Yeah, there you go, Inventers Month, Happiness
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Happens month, and get ready for Kindergarten month. So that's
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: good as people are going back to school and all
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: of that. Right, Well, do you have the August blues?
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: If so, you're not alone. August is apparently a downer
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: for many people because it signals that summer is ending.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: For some, it means the end of all the summer fun.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: For others, it makes them aware summer's almost over and
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: they didn't go on a good vacation, or they didn't
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: do fun things they wanted to do. Some get overwhelmed
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: with back to school or back to work or that
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: back to reality. Scrambling and scheduling and all of those
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: things that take place once school gets back underway. They
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: say August has all the ingredients to stew up blues.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: According to Joshua Clapal, a psychologist and professor at the
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: University of Alabama at Birmingham, for many people, it creates
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: a feeling of funk, a feeling of down, and a
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: feeling of sadness. It all makes sense and you're getting
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: to that point, you know, people like to do the
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: summer relationships or those kinds of things, and then maybe
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff is ending, and then you
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: start trying to shift that focus over to the you know,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: fall and winter holidays, and some people get bloozy about that. So,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is kind of that transition month. I
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: guess it's just one of those months where you're kind
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: of going into a lot of different things. There's a
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: lot going on. Recent high school grads are considering other
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: options besides four year college for a variety of reasons.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: As we're into that season where a lot of people
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: you would think would be, uh, you know, moving on
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: to college, and they say they could be because they
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: feel unprepared for life after high school. Not wanting to
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: take on a bunch of student loan debt. A new
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: survey found that instead of traditional four year college, about
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: twenty four percent of high school grads are jumping straight
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: into the workforce. Twenty one percent are opting for community colleges.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Others are considering trade schools, gap years, or the military.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Students and parents alike. Field schools should focus more on
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: life skills, job skills, mental health support, and money management.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Friday edition of the show.
