- 2:10Speaker 2: You don't have to wait until this weekend to hear
- 2:13Speaker 2: either of the shows. You can listen to them right
- 2:16Speaker 2: now online. And some of the guests who were back
- 2:19Speaker 2: again this year, like William Shatner, among the other interviews.
- 2:23Speaker 2: All right, let's talk a little bit about presence when
- 2:30Speaker 2: it comes to the presidency. Let's talk about presidents who
- 2:36Speaker 2: show up for work presidents who show up prepared to work.
- 2:41Speaker 2: The importance of having presidents who are able to do
- 2:46Speaker 2: things and get things accomplished and make things happen. We
- 2:54Speaker 2: just went through four years of a president who, you know,
- 3:01Speaker 2: we learned many of us started to be suspicious of it.
- 3:06Speaker 2: We started to say something's not right. I talked on
- 3:11Speaker 2: the show. I know many of you felt the same way.
- 3:13Speaker 2: But we weren't supposed to say it out loud. We
- 3:15Speaker 2: were told, you know, just pretend that the president is
- 3:19Speaker 2: doing a great job, that Biden is doing a great job,
- 3:22Speaker 2: and we're just supposed to pretend that, and we're not
- 3:24Speaker 2: supposed to acknowledge any of the issues that we were
- 3:27Speaker 2: all seeing playing out, the clear cognition problems that he
- 3:31Speaker 2: was going through. It wasn't fair. You know, it's agist
- 3:36Speaker 2: if you point out those things, if you see him
- 3:38Speaker 2: struggling in a conversation and you point it out, you
- 3:41Speaker 2: can't talk about it because then you're making fun of him.
- 3:44Speaker 2: And I told you at great linked on this show.
- 3:46Speaker 2: I've got a number of people in my family and
- 3:49Speaker 2: my past that have had issues with cognition, with dementia,
- 3:53Speaker 2: with memory problems. Some we've had people use the term
- 3:58Speaker 2: Alzheimer's the family in the past, and I don't know
- 4:01Speaker 2: how many of them had Alzheimer's or were just dealing
- 4:04Speaker 2: with dementia. I don't know how many of those things.
- 4:06Speaker 2: You know, there's a you can have dementia and Alzheimer's.
- 4:10Speaker 2: You don't necessarily have Alzheimer's if you have dementia. Alzheimer's
- 4:13Speaker 2: is a very specific other thing altogether. So I have
- 4:18Speaker 2: that in my family. I have a history of that
- 4:21Speaker 2: in my family. There's nothing funny about any of that.
- 4:26Speaker 2: There's nothing comical, there's nothing humorous. There is nothing other
- 4:30Speaker 2: than sadness and devastation. It is painful to watch someone
- 4:39Speaker 2: that you care about go through that. It is painful
- 4:42Speaker 2: to see someone really that you don't know go through that.
- 4:45Speaker 2: It's not funny. And I've never expressed any sort of
- 4:50Speaker 2: feelings of humor in watching Joe Biden deal with what
- 4:55Speaker 2: he was dealing with, And I've addressed that a number
- 4:58Speaker 2: of times. It was sad. It was sad to watch
- 5:02Speaker 2: an American president struggle with that. It would be sad
- 5:05Speaker 2: to see anyone go through it. I promise you, if
- 5:09Speaker 2: you're blessed enough to not have experienced that if the
- 5:13Speaker 2: worst thing that you've experienced in your life with a
- 5:16Speaker 2: loved one was that they got a little forgetful. But
- 5:20Speaker 2: we're not talking about being a little forgetful. We're talking
- 5:22Speaker 2: about people who get lost in thoughts. We're talking about
- 5:25Speaker 2: people who forget where they are, who they are, what
- 5:29Speaker 2: year it is, who they're talking to. They struggle with
- 5:33Speaker 2: remembering specific events in life. They think that maybe they
- 5:36Speaker 2: just happened, even though they happened twenty thirty years ago.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Those are very hard to experience. My grandfather struggled at
- 5:43Speaker 2: times with trying to figure out who this woman was
- 5:48Speaker 2: that was in his house. It was my grandmother, but
- 5:51Speaker 2: he remembered my grandmother from when they got married. He
- 5:54Speaker 2: didn't remember my grandmother from earlier that day or from yesterday.
- 5:59Speaker 2: Those are whole horrible things to witness to see. And
- 6:04Speaker 2: if you've ever experienced just someone who was lost roaming
- 6:08Speaker 2: the streets and you stop to talk to them and
- 6:10Speaker 2: you say are you okay, and then they tell you
- 6:12Speaker 2: I don't know where I am and they start to cry.
- 6:15Speaker 2: And that's not even someone in your family, that's just
- 6:17Speaker 2: a human being. And if you still have empathy, and
- 6:20Speaker 2: you still have the ability to care about human beings.
- 6:24Speaker 2: So I'm not talking about the people and the people
- 6:27Speaker 2: who maybe laughed at what Biden was going through. I
- 6:31Speaker 2: think it's because they don't really know how to process it.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Some are just not good people, and it's just the reality.
- 6:39Speaker 2: They just you know, they want to laugh at it
- 6:41Speaker 2: because they don't like him, and they don't understand that
- 6:43Speaker 2: we're all in this together. You know, there's people that
- 6:46Speaker 2: have attacked Trump mercilessly, really some on both sides, and
- 6:52Speaker 2: just hate him just because of who he is, and
- 6:56Speaker 2: confuse the fact that they're being used as a tool
- 6:59Speaker 2: by some of the people that really want to keep
- 7:01Speaker 2: the deep state going. But anyway, oh, I could do
- 7:05Speaker 2: so much on all of that. But my point is
- 7:08Speaker 2: the people who think it's funny aside the rest of
- 7:12Speaker 2: us that realize this isn't funny, this is serious. And
- 7:16Speaker 2: we saw this starting to happen with our president, and
- 7:20Speaker 2: we started to ask questions like who's running things, who's
- 7:23Speaker 2: in charge? Why does he have short working days? Why
- 7:26Speaker 2: is he available from like ten to four every day.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Presidents should be available twenty four hours a day. And
- 7:31Speaker 2: I understand he was a very senior man. I get that,
- 7:37Speaker 2: and he had kind of been out of the public
- 7:40Speaker 2: eye for a little while he was drafted to come
- 7:42Speaker 2: back in. I would say to you now, the reason
- 7:45Speaker 2: he was drafted back in, what we now know, is
- 7:47Speaker 2: that they wanted someone who would just kind of be
- 7:49Speaker 2: a puppet, somebody that they knew that they could abuse
- 7:55Speaker 2: and just you know, as his son has told us,
- 8:00Speaker 2: they're going to give him a pill and tell him
- 8:01Speaker 2: to go to sleep right here, just take this pill
- 8:04Speaker 2: and go to sleep, just go rest, while he was
- 8:07Speaker 2: already apparently sleeping most of the day or not available
- 8:11Speaker 2: for work most of the day, and they're, you know,
- 8:14Speaker 2: giving him a pill and telling him to go take
- 8:16Speaker 2: a nap. So yeah, that means there were people that
- 8:21Speaker 2: were running things when he was not available, and possibly
- 8:24Speaker 2: running things even when he was available. And we've learned
- 8:27Speaker 2: all of those things. But we were all suspicious something
- 8:29Speaker 2: wasn't right, and while we had a president who seemed,
- 8:33Speaker 2: I guess incapable of doing the job, or was you know,
- 8:37Speaker 2: told to take a pill and go take a nap
- 8:39Speaker 2: or whatever was going on behind the scenes. And this
- 8:41Speaker 2: is coming from his son, because his son's the one
- 8:43Speaker 2: who said they were giving him pills. Right. His son's
- 8:47Speaker 2: the one that said they're giving him an ambient all right.
- 8:51Speaker 2: So while he was not doing anything, while he was absent,
- 8:57Speaker 2: and while we were focusing on all the wrong things
- 9:01Speaker 2: in America, and we started we shut down our ability
- 9:06Speaker 2: to manage our own fuel sources here. You know, we
- 9:12Speaker 2: were fully self sufficient, we were overproducing, we were selling
- 9:17Speaker 2: to other countries. Well, we shut it down, and we
- 9:20Speaker 2: decided we're going to start buying it from other places.
- 9:22Speaker 2: And we started buying it from Russia and built up
- 9:24Speaker 2: a nice surplus of money for them that they used
- 9:27Speaker 2: to invade Ukraine. And then we said, oh, we better
- 9:29Speaker 2: stop buying it from them. We'll buy it from somebody else.
- 9:33Speaker 2: Not let's start producing it ourselves again at the level
- 9:36Speaker 2: we were, but let's buy it from someone else. So
- 9:41Speaker 2: this invasion took place, and we had a president who
- 9:45Speaker 2: was at the wheel, and you could say, asleep at
- 9:49Speaker 2: the wheel. I don't know, ambient induced or whatever his
- 9:51Speaker 2: son's accusing. I don't know, but I know that the
- 9:55Speaker 2: people that were running things on his behalf weren't focused
- 9:58Speaker 2: on what was going on there. And we've gotten these
- 10:01Speaker 2: indications now that you know, Putin says Russia probably wouldn't
- 10:06Speaker 2: have invaded Ukraine if trumpet won re election. So what
- 10:11Speaker 2: does that say about the people who voted against him.
- 10:13Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. But my point is
- 10:17Speaker 2: when you got somebody who's not really in charge and
- 10:19Speaker 2: not really running things, some bad things can happen, and
- 10:22Speaker 2: they did, and a lot of people have died. So
- 10:26Speaker 2: now in the span of just a couple of weeks,
- 10:30Speaker 2: we've made a lot of progress. We've made a lot
- 10:34Speaker 2: of progress as President Trump, who has organized meetings, He's
- 10:41Speaker 2: organized now meetings with Putin and Zelensky and world leaders
- 10:47Speaker 2: and made great strides on bringing the war to an
- 10:51Speaker 2: end in just a couple of weeks. And he's almost
- 10:57Speaker 2: the same age as Joe Biden. You can have an
- 11:01Speaker 2: eighty year old man and a seventy eight year old
- 11:03Speaker 2: man that are at a couple of different levels of
- 11:06Speaker 2: you know, energy, different levels of needing, naps or whatever.
- 11:11Speaker 2: But when you take the seventy eight year old or
- 11:14Speaker 2: seventy nine year old wherever we're at now with Trump
- 11:16Speaker 2: and say he's going to go organize this meeting. They're
- 11:18Speaker 2: going to have this meeting and not just a meeting
- 11:21Speaker 2: in Alaska, First of all, there's so many of the
- 11:25Speaker 2: optics there, the bomber going overhead, having the meeting in
- 11:29Speaker 2: Alaska that we got from Russia to begin with. There's
- 11:33Speaker 2: a lot of flexing that went on there. It was nice.
- 11:38Speaker 2: It wasn't necessary, it was nice. I like the flexing.
- 11:42Speaker 2: I really do. When you're trying to have diplomacy through strength,
- 11:46Speaker 2: sometimes you flex a couple of muscles. Sometimes you show up,
- 11:51Speaker 2: you know, with the sleeves cut off your shirt, and
- 11:53Speaker 2: you just kind of go, eh, look what we got
- 11:56Speaker 2: going overhead. This is the same one we used in
- 11:59Speaker 2: Iran not long ago. It's not necessary, but probably doesn't hurt,
- 12:07Speaker 2: you know, just a little flex, just a little bit
- 12:11Speaker 2: of a flex. And then he has a meeting and
- 12:14Speaker 2: he plays at two days two days of golf, energy vibrants,
- 12:21Speaker 2: and all the left can say is a Trump cheats
- 12:22Speaker 2: of golf and he's weak by giving Putina a platform
- 12:26Speaker 2: to talk on. He's trying to save lives. He's trying
- 12:30Speaker 2: to end a war. It's been going on, an unnecessary war,
- 12:33Speaker 2: a war that only made some people some money, the
- 12:38Speaker 2: warmongering business, you know. I mean, it's not like we
- 12:42Speaker 2: just had a first family that was, you know, really
- 12:46Speaker 2: connected and strong ties with Ukraine. We didn't just have
- 12:50Speaker 2: that at all. That wasn't something that we just went
- 12:53Speaker 2: through and they got a bunch of pardons with an
- 12:55Speaker 2: auto pen to make sure that they wouldn't have to
- 12:58Speaker 2: suffer for any other things that they may or may
- 13:00Speaker 2: not have done during that window of time when he
- 13:03Speaker 2: was vice president all the way up until he left office,
- 13:07Speaker 2: and wrote a big giant check to Ukraine right as
- 13:10Speaker 2: he was leaving, heading out the door, another multi billion
- 13:14Speaker 2: dollar check to them, promising them that. But it's a
- 13:18Speaker 2: difference between having someone capable of doing the job and
- 13:23Speaker 2: someone not capable of doing the job, or having someone
- 13:28Speaker 2: whose actual interest is let's end the war, let's not
- 13:32Speaker 2: have wars, let's not have hostility on the planet. Let's
- 13:36Speaker 2: do what we can, even if it means this weird
- 13:39Speaker 2: flex in Alaska and the bomber going overhead. And I
- 13:42Speaker 2: say weird just for the people who are critics of it,
- 13:45Speaker 2: I still say I like it. I still like the flex.
- 13:50Speaker 2: And if the flex in any way saved lives, if
- 13:52Speaker 2: it saved one life, it saved a million lives, if
- 13:56Speaker 2: it saved a thousand, it's worth it. Then right, And
- 14:02Speaker 2: it's the difference between having someone capable of that versus
- 14:05Speaker 2: having someone who got elected during COVID, the weird COVID
- 14:11Speaker 2: election that there's no way, there's no way the numbers
- 14:15Speaker 2: come out the way they were, if not as far
- 14:18Speaker 2: as the voter turnout, if not for the pandemic, if
- 14:22Speaker 2: not for COVID. But we had that, then you get
- 14:24Speaker 2: Biden and people running the country and by proxy, the
- 14:31Speaker 2: world behind the scenes, unelected people that are just running things.
- 14:37Speaker 2: This is the deep state people that we talk about,
- 14:40Speaker 2: and we weren't supposed to talk about it when Biden
- 14:42Speaker 2: was president. We weren't supposed to acknowledge it. We're supposed
- 14:44Speaker 2: to pretend it wasn't going on. And then he's out
- 14:46Speaker 2: of office, and then we've even got reporters writing books
- 14:49Speaker 2: about it. We have information that they attained while he
- 14:55Speaker 2: was president and wouldn't talk about it while he was president.
- 14:59Speaker 2: So this is what's the difference. Some actual progress can
- 15:02Speaker 2: get made in a really short amount of time if
- 15:05Speaker 2: you've got someone in the White House who's capable of
- 15:07Speaker 2: getting things done. Today's show brought to you by Columbus
- 15:10Speaker 2: State Universities Coca Cola Space Science center inspiring and educating
- 15:16Speaker 2: the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders
- 15:21Speaker 2: that really of all ages. I mean they do it
- 15:24Speaker 2: for school age kids as school age kids visit the
- 15:27Speaker 2: Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
- 15:30Speaker 2: through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
- 15:36Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
- 15:40Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
- 15:44Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
- 15:51Speaker 2: also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got
- 15:54Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwobe School
- 15:58Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
- 16:02Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
- 16:06Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
- 16:08Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
- 16:12Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
- 16:17Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
- 16:21Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
- 16:25Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows
- 16:29Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy night's coming
- 16:32Speaker 2: up where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it
- 16:35Speaker 2: at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside
- 16:39Speaker 2: somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
- 16:42Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events.
- 16:45Speaker 2: Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean
- 16:49Speaker 2: Crusan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org. I just
- 16:54Speaker 2: remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science
- 16:57Speaker 2: Center CCSSC or today's show brought to you by Overhead
- 17:02Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
- 17:05Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
- 17:12Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
- 17:15Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
- 17:19Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
- 17:22Speaker 2: squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you
- 17:25Speaker 2: can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
- 17:27Speaker 2: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 17:30Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 17:34Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 17:36Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 17:39Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 17:42Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
- 17:46Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 17:49Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 17:53Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 17:55Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 17:58Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 18:02Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 18:04Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 18:06Speaker 2: you just want a little man caved. You'd like to
- 18:09Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 18:11Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 18:14Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 18:17Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 18:19Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
- 18:22Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
- 18:25Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thory five eight forty five

- 18:36Speaker 2: after the break, Do you have trouble sleeping at night? Well,
- 18:49Speaker 2: maybe you've tried melatonin or warm milk or camameal tea
- 18:53Speaker 2: or any of those things. Maybe that's not what you
- 18:56Speaker 2: need at all. According to a new study, it suggests
- 19:01Speaker 2: that eating one avocado a day can help you sleep better.
- 19:05Speaker 2: Researchers found that adults who regularly included avocados in their
- 19:09Speaker 2: diet reported improved sleep quality over a six month period
- 19:14Speaker 2: compared to those who rarely ate them. Avocados are packed
- 19:19Speaker 2: with trip to fan fol eight, magnesium. These are all
- 19:22Speaker 2: nutrients that help your body produce melatonin, and of course
- 19:27Speaker 2: if you're taking melatonin and you can get it naturally,
- 19:31Speaker 2: melatonin is that hormone that regulates sleep cycle. So magnesium
- 19:35Speaker 2: important key role in muscle relaxation, and that can help
- 19:39Speaker 2: you wind down at night. Interestingly, the study wasn't even
- 19:42Speaker 2: focused on sleep. It was originally designed to look at
- 19:45Speaker 2: heart help, but participants started to report better sleep as
- 19:50Speaker 2: a side effect. Interesting. I always like when those studies
- 19:55Speaker 2: it doesn't say what the study told us about the
- 19:57Speaker 2: heart health. I'm assuming that might be positive as well.
- 20:02Speaker 2: That's just a hunch. I don't know I've heard whether
- 20:06Speaker 2: this is true, but I've heard avocados are good for
- 20:10Speaker 2: that good cholesterol, so that probably would also be a positive.
- 20:14Speaker 2: But again that's just what I've heard a Florida woman
- 20:19Speaker 2: who will answer the question, well, what did you do
- 20:21Speaker 2: this summer with you know, hanging around the Everglades wrangling
- 20:26Speaker 2: Burmese pythons. A lot of people choose to use their
- 20:30Speaker 2: summer to travel and you know, enjoy the beach or relax,
- 20:36Speaker 2: spend time with family. But not not Taylor Stanbury, who
- 20:44Speaker 2: is on our way to winning the twenty twenty five
- 20:47Speaker 2: Florida Python Challenge wrangled Burmese pythons in the Everglades. The
- 20:52Speaker 2: twenty nine year old, who is just short of five
- 20:55Speaker 2: feet tall, caught sixty invasive snakes over a ten day
- 20:59Speaker 2: period to become the first woman to win the challenge.
- 21:02Speaker 2: The contest brings together amateur and professional snake catchers to
- 21:06Speaker 2: hunt the pythons, which threaten the state's psychology by preying
- 21:11Speaker 2: on birds, mammals, and other reptiles. Challengers must capture and
- 21:15Speaker 2: humanely kill the pythons and not harm any native species.
- 21:19Speaker 2: A total of two hundred and ninety four pythons were caught,
- 21:22Speaker 2: the most ever in the annual challenge. As the winner,
- 21:25Speaker 2: Standbury received a grand prize of ten thousand dollars. I mean,
- 21:31Speaker 2: if you're into hunting and killing snakes, and you you know,
- 21:38Speaker 2: or happy to spend your summer doing that, I would
- 21:41Speaker 2: think that the ten thousand dollars grand prize is just gravy.
- 21:45Speaker 2: You know, you're already happy with what you spent your
- 21:48Speaker 2: time over the summer doing, all right. So, sometimes couples
- 21:55Speaker 2: like to write their own vowels when they get married,
- 21:58Speaker 2: but it is in fact twenty so it's probably not
- 22:02Speaker 2: a big shock to tell you that if you've been
- 22:06Speaker 2: to a wedding this summer, or you go to a
- 22:09Speaker 2: wedding that takes place this fall or winter or into
- 22:13Speaker 2: next year, it is entirely possible that those couples aren't
- 22:17Speaker 2: really writing their own vowels if they say they are,
- 22:20Speaker 2: as more and more couples are in fact using AI
- 22:23Speaker 2: to write their wedding vowels, and then they won't admit it.
- 22:27Speaker 2: A recent survey found fifty one percent of couples are
- 22:31Speaker 2: fine with using chat GPT to write their vowels. One couple,
- 22:36Speaker 2: Evi and Bejeon, said that their guests had no idea
- 22:40Speaker 2: that they used chat GPT, but they said that they
- 22:43Speaker 2: were our words, our emotions just a little more polished.
- 22:47Speaker 2: And AI isn't just being used for vowels. It's being
- 22:51Speaker 2: used in virtually all aspects of the wedding, from managing
- 22:54Speaker 2: budgets to finding a wedding inspiration to writing toasts and speech.
- 23:01Speaker 2: I would imagine that if you've got somebody officiating the wedding,
- 23:05Speaker 2: they might use it. I have not done that officiating
- 23:08Speaker 2: a wedding, but I would imagine that would be something
- 23:10Speaker 2: that also might come up from time to time. Engineers
- 23:14Speaker 2: are working hard on plans to land humans on the
- 23:16Speaker 2: Moon in the next few years. NASA fast tracking plans
- 23:19Speaker 2: to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon by twenty
- 23:21Speaker 2: thirty two, which would power future lunar bases and long
- 23:25Speaker 2: term for long term missions. Because the nights up there
- 23:29Speaker 2: last two weeks, solar power isn't really reliable. The big
- 23:32Speaker 2: idea is to have nuclear energy, which could generate one
- 23:35Speaker 2: hundred kilowats of energy, enough to power up to one
- 23:37Speaker 2: hundred homes and give astronauts plenty of flexibility whether it's
- 23:41Speaker 2: light or dark. China and Russia also trying to do
- 23:45Speaker 2: the same thing. Theirs is a combined effort, though, so
- 23:50Speaker 2: back in nineteen thirty seven, legendary aviator Amelia Earhart and
- 23:53Speaker 2: her navigator took off in a plane that completely disappeared,
- 23:56Speaker 2: never to be seen again, and for eighty eight years
- 23:58Speaker 2: there's been no trace of the plane. Now, a pilot
- 24:01Speaker 2: named Justin Myers believes that he has found the wreckage
- 24:04Speaker 2: off the coast of Nikoma Row Row, an island that
- 24:09Speaker 2: is in the western Pacific Ocean. And I know I
- 24:12Speaker 2: didn't pronounce it correctly. Myers wasn't even a hunting for
- 24:16Speaker 2: the plane. Instead, he was messing around with Google Earth
- 24:18Speaker 2: and spotted a group of shapes he believes to be
- 24:20Speaker 2: fragments of the plane. Myers now wants to conduct an
- 24:23Speaker 2: expedition to the location to see if his theories are
- 24:26Speaker 2: true and he actually discovered Earhart's famous plane. That'll do
- 24:31Speaker 2: it for this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks to
- 24:33Speaker 2: our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch
- 24:37Speaker 2: you back here tomorrow morning.

- 26:34Speaker 2: Sean Cruisin and I often like to discuss the science
- 26:39Speaker 2: behind the science fiction and the connections between where science
- 26:45Speaker 2: fiction sometimes leads to science science sometimes leads to science fiction.
- 26:48Speaker 2: It's just a weird connection that's already there. It's built
- 26:51Speaker 2: into it. And I say it's weird, but it's really not.
- 26:54Speaker 2: It makes perfect sense. The two go together very well.
