Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day and you're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Tuesday Morning, tenth day of March. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:16
Speaker 2: joining me March ten, Mr one to Oh Mario Day.
0:21
Speaker 2: Fans of Mario and everything that is Mario can celebrate today.
0:29
Speaker 2: You should. I'm planning to celebrate by acknowledging and playing
0:36
Speaker 2: one of my all time favorite games, which features the
0:39
Speaker 2: first appearance of Mario when he was known simply as Jumpman,
0:45
Speaker 2: and that would be arguably the greatest video game of
0:50
Speaker 2: all time, Donkey Kong. I know what you're thinking, really,
0:56
Speaker 2: Donkey Kong. And you know, is there a more iconic
1:03
Speaker 2: video game character that has lasted the true test of
1:09
Speaker 2: time than Mario. I don't know that there is. I
1:14
Speaker 2: don't even know that. I mean, you go, okay, pac Man.
1:16
Speaker 2: Pac Man's great. They're not. I mean, they may be
1:19
Speaker 2: making occasional pac Man games, but they're not making these
1:22
Speaker 2: mega hit games with pac Man. It's not happening anymore.
1:26
Speaker 2: Since the first appearance of Mario, one successful game after
1:31
Speaker 2: the next, so many He's the face of Nintendo. So
1:38
Speaker 2: many successful games, so many mega Hit games. He's transitioned
1:42
Speaker 2: into different actually gaming consoles, whether it's the Wii or
1:48
Speaker 2: the Switch or the switch to or whatever they're up
1:52
Speaker 2: to now is the switch to. He's transcended time. He
1:58
Speaker 2: and his brother. Did you know that Mario's last name
2:03
Speaker 2: is Mario? Yeah, his name is Mario Mario. That alone
2:09
Speaker 2: makes it iconic, and it also means that his brother's
2:12
Speaker 2: name is Luigi Mario. I don't know about you, but
2:19
Speaker 2: it would be interesting to me if my last name
2:22
Speaker 2: was the first and last name of my sibling. That
2:26
Speaker 2: would be strange. Doesn't work for everybody. It does work
2:34
Speaker 2: for Mario and Luigi. That's all it really matters. Mega
2:37
Speaker 2: Hit Movie one of the great movies made from a
2:43
Speaker 2: video game of all time. And I'm not talking about
2:45
Speaker 2: the one from Back in the Day. No, no, no, not
2:49
Speaker 2: that one, not the Bob Hoskins Mario. No, I'm talking
2:53
Speaker 2: to Chris Pratt Mario. The animated movie captures the essence
2:57
Speaker 2: of the games, well also being a lot of fun,
3:03
Speaker 2: all of those things. Now, I've had this discussion with
3:07
Speaker 2: some very nerdy people, nerdy people that I love, and
3:11
Speaker 2: I can tell you that they've tried to make the
3:12
Speaker 2: case for other games being more significant and greater all
3:18
Speaker 2: time games. And look, I know that those early games
3:21
Speaker 2: were important. I know the Pongs, I know the Asteroids
3:26
Speaker 2: and the Space Invaders and the pac Man, all those
3:29
Speaker 2: I love pac Man by the way, Miss pac Man
3:32
Speaker 2: one of my favorites. Miss pac Man and Donkey cong
3:34
Speaker 2: are like right there. But my point is that those
3:39
Speaker 2: games haven't. I mean, they're still iconic, certainly Centipede, all
3:46
Speaker 2: those old games that already say Pong, yeah, Pong even
3:50
Speaker 2: that they're important. You know, Madden important, the early days
3:57
Speaker 2: of Madden Tech Mobile. You know, those were important games
4:03
Speaker 2: for a number of different reasons. But my point, you know,
4:08
Speaker 2: and back to the other two games that I think
4:11
Speaker 2: would would get brought up by some very nerdy people
4:14
Speaker 2: that I love Tetris. You want to make a case
4:17
Speaker 2: for Tetris that one has definitely lasted, right, that one's lasted,
4:23
Speaker 2: that one still goes strong. And I've had this conversation
4:29
Speaker 2: with nephews who want to say Minecraft and now Minecraft
4:33
Speaker 2: even has Hit Movie under its belt, and sure, great game,
4:39
Speaker 2: it's one of the maybe the biggest selling game of
4:41
Speaker 2: all time. I'm not sure. I think that's one of
4:43
Speaker 2: the cases he made to me, but there's nobody in
4:48
Speaker 2: Minecraft that's the face of a company. So I'm just saying,
4:52
Speaker 2: you got to give. And I know, Donkey Kong is
4:55
Speaker 2: not really even the best game of the you know
5:01
Speaker 2: Mario universe. His name wasn't even Mario yet, I understand,
5:07
Speaker 2: But without Donkey Kong, there's no Mario Brothers, there's no
5:11
Speaker 2: Super Mario Brothers, and then there's no you know everything.
5:15
Speaker 2: We have probably not a park at Universal Studios that
5:21
Speaker 2: features Mario and Luigi, probably not if not for Donkey Kong.
5:25
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. You know, Professor Mario's and Doctor
5:31
Speaker 2: Mario's and all those things, that's all. That's all I'm
5:35
Speaker 2: trying to say. Refereeing Mike Tyson fights, all the things
5:39
Speaker 2: that this guy's done. Just give the man his props
5:42
Speaker 2: on his day. My nephews want to argue with me
5:48
Speaker 2: about it, and they're not wrong, and this is one
5:51
Speaker 2: of those fun conversation topics. I mean, they are wrong,
5:55
Speaker 2: but they're not wrong to try to make the case.
5:58
Speaker 2: That's all. They're wrong. They're just not wrong to try
6:02
Speaker 2: to have the discussions. That's the point I'm trying to make.
6:06
Speaker 2: It's not wrong, to try to be right when you're wrong.
6:11
Speaker 2: You want to try to be right. That's all. That's all.
6:16
Speaker 2: So it's Mario Day. Celebrate accordingly. You know, if you
6:18
Speaker 2: got one of those red hats with an M on it,
6:20
Speaker 2: wear it, if you got a green hat with an
6:22
Speaker 2: L on it, wear it. Does it matter? Warrior, what toad?
6:29
Speaker 2: You just be You enjoy your day, That's what you
6:32
Speaker 2: should do. I spent a Sunday and yesterday in Beauford, Georgia,
6:41
Speaker 2: north of Atlanta, for math competition. Math competition that's called
6:45
Speaker 2: Math Counts. They do, you know, different competitions as qualifiers
6:53
Speaker 2: in cities and school district areas, and then the winners,
6:59
Speaker 2: the top finish get invited to move on to the
7:04
Speaker 2: state competition. And you know, weeks ago, many weeks ago,
7:10
Speaker 2: we had the local Math Counts. Luke's school team was
7:16
Speaker 2: comprised of him and three other kids. You can have more,
7:21
Speaker 2: but you have your team of four. They won the
7:24
Speaker 2: tournament and were automatically invited to go to this state competition.
7:30
Speaker 2: The other four kids on the team that were also
7:33
Speaker 2: able to compete in the local where they scored high
7:37
Speaker 2: enough in the top ten, they were also invited so
7:39
Speaker 2: the entire team of eight was invited to the state competition.
7:44
Speaker 2: This is not my first time going. It is sadly
7:49
Speaker 2: my last time going to this particular competition because I
7:53
Speaker 2: now have a kid who is I think he's got
7:57
Speaker 2: one more math tournament coming up and then that's it
8:02
Speaker 2: for his math team, and then he moves on to
8:06
Speaker 2: high school and you know, I'm sure more opportunities for
8:09
Speaker 2: math team await. His brother is already on the math
8:11
Speaker 2: team at his high school, so a chance for them
8:14
Speaker 2: to have a little overlap, look a little jv little
8:16
Speaker 2: varsity together anyway, So it's it's a long trip up
8:22
Speaker 2: to Beauford from where I live, and I've done this
8:26
Speaker 2: drive like the morning of a few times, and this
8:31
Speaker 2: was our time to just say, this is our last one.
8:34
Speaker 2: We're gonna go up. We're gonna stay in a hotel,
8:36
Speaker 2: We're going to be there. We're not driving up at
8:39
Speaker 2: five six am. We'll just be there. You know, there's
8:42
Speaker 2: a lot of factors that come into play when you're
8:45
Speaker 2: going through Atlanta traffic, and you just don't want to
8:49
Speaker 2: take any chances that time of the morning. And we've
8:52
Speaker 2: taken the chances, and it's worked out but last year
8:56
Speaker 2: there were thunderstorms on the morning of the statewide Math
8:59
Speaker 2: Camp competition and that was really stressful. So we just
9:03
Speaker 2: decided this is the year we closed out strong. We're
9:06
Speaker 2: just there. We got a hotel that was like eight
9:08
Speaker 2: minutes from the facility, and that's what we did with it.
9:13
Speaker 2: We made we made a little trip of it. And
9:16
Speaker 2: I just I love the fact that and I've got
9:19
Speaker 2: all these friends that have baseball, soccer, travel kids, and
9:25
Speaker 2: math is our travel sport and I love it. I
9:27
Speaker 2: love the fact that when we go somewhere for state competition,
9:32
Speaker 2: it's for math. It's for math. Now, this is incredibly
9:37
Speaker 2: competitive at the state level. I mean it's competitive at
9:40
Speaker 2: the city level, but you know, for them to win,
9:43
Speaker 2: you just kind of go well done, You've earned the
9:45
Speaker 2: right to go to the state competition. It's so competitive
9:51
Speaker 2: that we've kind of learned. And this was the first
9:53
Speaker 2: year that we really did this and it wasn't a
9:55
Speaker 2: matter of like, you know, folding our arms and pouting
9:57
Speaker 2: and saying we're taking our toys and going home. We
10:01
Speaker 2: just kind of realistically know, probably not not going to
10:06
Speaker 2: score in the top ten, probably not the top four
10:09
Speaker 2: to go on to Nationals and if we were, they
10:13
Speaker 2: would let us know. So we left a bit early
10:16
Speaker 2: just so that we could get back home and get
10:19
Speaker 2: settled back in you know, where we belong, so we'd
10:22
Speaker 2: be here, you know. And Luke, as much as he
10:26
Speaker 2: tried to make us scuse we could stay another day.
10:28
Speaker 2: You know, you got school tomorrow, Like this is an
10:31
Speaker 2: excused absence and now you got to go back to school.
10:34
Speaker 2: But you know, and I just tried to remind the
10:37
Speaker 2: kids that were there with Luke school. There were some
10:41
Speaker 2: other kids that I talked to that were there from
10:43
Speaker 2: other schools and they just sort of like, you know,
10:46
Speaker 2: this is this is so hard, But you earn the
10:49
Speaker 2: right to be here. That's the thing you have to
10:51
Speaker 2: remind yourself sometimes. And sure you'd like to go, you'd
10:56
Speaker 2: like to compete and represent, well all of those things.
11:00
Speaker 2: I love to go to Nationals, but you're going to
11:03
Speaker 2: State and a lot of kids don't do that. And
11:06
Speaker 2: you've gone because you earned it. It's not like somebody
11:10
Speaker 2: just said, yeah, your charity case, we're going to let
11:12
Speaker 2: you go to State. No, there's a limited number of
11:15
Speaker 2: people that can go to State, and we're going to
11:16
Speaker 2: have you go to State. And represent and you got
11:19
Speaker 2: a chance to do that. So that's what I'm really
11:22
Speaker 2: proud of for all those kids, and you know, they went,
11:25
Speaker 2: they did their best. We haven't heard anything yet. I
11:29
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't I don't expect to at this point.
11:31
Speaker 2: Luke didn't expect to. If Luke kind of went into
11:34
Speaker 2: this thinking I got a shot at State, I think
11:36
Speaker 2: we would have stuck around. But that's that's not what
11:39
Speaker 2: he said. He said, I answered all the questions, but
11:42
Speaker 2: I don't know that I'm going to get invited to State,
11:44
Speaker 2: so we can we can head out, which was gracious
11:47
Speaker 2: of him because he was he was prepared to be
11:50
Speaker 2: there as long as possible, and we said we need
11:52
Speaker 2: you know, we need to go. We just need to
11:54
Speaker 2: get on the road and get moving. So a little
11:58
Speaker 2: sad though that that was the last of those for him,
12:01
Speaker 2: and we kind of will wrap up that phase of
12:04
Speaker 2: this and there'll be some tournaments. Jacob's to tournaments at
12:08
Speaker 2: his school and you know that's not a parent involved thing,
12:12
Speaker 2: Like they get on a bus and they ride somewhere
12:14
Speaker 2: and they compete and that's what he's done. So anyway,
12:17
Speaker 2: it'll just be different. I'm excited to thought of them
12:20
Speaker 2: traveling together. You know, they'll be on a bus together.
12:22
Speaker 2: Maybe is varsity and JV next year. So that's that's
12:25
Speaker 2: pretty cool. It's just going by too fast. So one
12:29
Speaker 2: of the news stories that was happening while we were there,
12:31
Speaker 2: because the other advantage of having the hotel is you
12:34
Speaker 2: take your kid to the math tournament and you drop
12:36
Speaker 2: them off and then you go back to the hotel
12:37
Speaker 2: and you just lie on the bed, maybe get a
12:40
Speaker 2: good hotel nap, and then you can kind of, you know,
12:43
Speaker 2: get caught up on the news, get a little caught
12:45
Speaker 2: up on some work. And I was able to do
12:48
Speaker 2: a little bit of that. I wasn't doing a lot
12:49
Speaker 2: of work, but I did a little work yesterday. But
12:52
Speaker 2: one of the stories that had my eye was this
12:54
Speaker 2: story about the Iranian women's soccer team that basically they
13:03
Speaker 2: were in Australia for the Women's Asian Cup as things
13:08
Speaker 2: started to happen in Iran, and they posted, you know,
13:13
Speaker 2: videos of their excitement. They should be excited things possibly
13:17
Speaker 2: changing in their home country and they would like to
13:20
Speaker 2: have some freedoms that you don't just get in Iran.
13:24
Speaker 2: It's different, it's very different. So they see this possibility,
13:29
Speaker 2: and they're excited, and then suddenly it becomes a big
13:33
Speaker 2: deal because they got people back home that aren't happy
13:36
Speaker 2: that they're there representing their country and not expressing kindness
13:42
Speaker 2: and gratitude and singing anthems and things for their homeland,
13:46
Speaker 2: and they were getting ready to be sent home, and
13:50
Speaker 2: it was potentially going to be really, really bad. Well,
13:54
Speaker 2: President Trump found out about this and put a little
13:57
Speaker 2: pressure on Australia and basically these were his words on
14:03
Speaker 2: true social Australia is making a terrible humanitarian mistake by
14:07
Speaker 2: allowing the Iran national women's soccer team to be forced
14:11
Speaker 2: back to Iran where they will most likely be killed.
14:13
Speaker 2: Don't do it, mister Prime minister, give asylum. The US
14:17
Speaker 2: will take them if you want. So. Apparently, yeah, the
14:24
Speaker 2: Prime Minister of Australia says, yeah, we'll take them. We're
14:28
Speaker 2: going to do this, and I guess five members at first,
14:33
Speaker 2: and there are some members that feel like they needed
14:36
Speaker 2: to go home because of their family and they were
14:39
Speaker 2: concerned about safety for them there. Australia's Home Affairs Minister
14:45
Speaker 2: Tony Burke making the announcement that they would be taken
14:48
Speaker 2: to the Gold coast from the Gold Coast to a
14:51
Speaker 2: safe location. So that's the status and that's great love
14:57
Speaker 2: that as an outcome for it. President of the US said,
15:02
Speaker 2: I just spoke to Prime Minister of Australia concerning the
15:06
Speaker 2: Iranian women's national soccer team and he said he's on it.
15:12
Speaker 2: Five have been taken care of. The rest on their
15:14
Speaker 2: way home. However, they feel they must go back because
15:18
Speaker 2: they're worried about the safety of their families. There you go,
15:21
Speaker 2: including threats to those family members if they don't return.
15:24
Speaker 2: In any event, Prime Minister doing a good job having
15:27
Speaker 2: to deal with this delicate situation. God Bless Australia. Yeah,
15:33
Speaker 2: I'll second that. God Bless Australia. Yeah, I'll second, third,
15:39
Speaker 2: and fourth it all day. This is a great move.
15:42
Speaker 2: This is and I guess it was just mainly them
15:44
Speaker 2: not wanting to sing the national anthem Iranians calling it
15:49
Speaker 2: a pinnacle of dishonor when they would not sing for
15:51
Speaker 2: the anthem while they were there. So yeah, that's that's
15:57
Speaker 2: the deal. This, I guess the Burke what did I say?
16:04
Speaker 2: His title was, this is sorry I'm to my Australian family. Sorry,
16:10
Speaker 2: I don't have all these titles. Now this is the
16:11
Speaker 2: Australian Home Affairs Minister, that's who he is, Tony Burke.
16:16
Speaker 2: He said, these women are tremendously popular in Australia. We
16:20
Speaker 2: realize they are a terribly difficult situation with decisions that
16:23
Speaker 2: they're making. The opportunity will continue to be there for
16:26
Speaker 2: them to talk to Australian officials if they wish should
16:29
Speaker 2: do it. So there you go, there you go. They
16:36
Speaker 2: basically they sang the anthem and saluted before their losses
16:41
Speaker 2: to Australia and the Philippines. I guess that was part
16:44
Speaker 2: of the story. But anyway, it's thankfully being taken care of.
16:48
Speaker 2: Good for President Trump for putting a little pressure on,
16:50
Speaker 2: Good for the obviously the Prime Minister kind of seeing
16:56
Speaker 2: the light in this situation, seeing the opportunity to do
16:58
Speaker 2: the right thing, and that good stuff on giving them
17:01
Speaker 2: the opportunity to stay if they wanted to. And five
17:05
Speaker 2: of them did. Today's show brought to you by Columbus
17:07

17:21
Speaker 2: for school age kids, as school age kids visit the
17:24
Speaker 2: Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
17:27
Speaker 2: through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
17:33
Speaker 2: and the careers in space and stem fields are booming
17:37
Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
17:41
Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,

17:59
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.

18:36
Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
18:38
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night
18:41

19:01
Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular

Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
19:19
Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while

19:26
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
19:30
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
19:32
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
19:34
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
19:38
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
19:42
Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or
19:45
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
19:49
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
19:51
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
19:55
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
19:57
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
20:01
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
20:03
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man caved. You'd
20:06
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
20:07
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
20:10
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
20:13
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
20:16
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
20:19
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
20:22

20:32
Speaker 2: right after the break. So we've all heard of superfoods.
20:46
Speaker 2: There's different things that they say. Sweet potato. You know
20:49
Speaker 2: you eat sweet potato. It's got so many vitamins and
20:53
Speaker 2: things in it, so many things good for your skin,
20:57
Speaker 2: whatever that you're supposed to eat sweet potato, and you're
20:59
Speaker 2: supposed to eat blueberries and avocados. And I don't even
21:02
Speaker 2: know if those are all still superfoods. At one time
21:04
Speaker 2: they were all called superfoods, and over the years there
21:08
Speaker 2: have been different foods that they would say this is
21:11
Speaker 2: a superfood. Some of the superfoods, like any of those
21:16
Speaker 2: three that I mentioned, I can eat those, that's fine.
21:18
Speaker 2: There's some that I would not really want to eat
21:21
Speaker 2: at all. Well, there's a new trend on social media,
21:26
Speaker 2: I guess TikTok specifically where parents have been discussing that
21:31
Speaker 2: there's a new superfood for their toddlers. And it's not
21:37
Speaker 2: the ones I mentioned. It's not kale. No, that's another one,
21:42
Speaker 2: and I can put that in smoothies. I'm not really
21:44
Speaker 2: like wanting to dive into kale. Maybe in a soup. No, no, no,
21:49
Speaker 2: These parents are talking about sticks of raw butter. Yeah,
21:54
Speaker 2: it's a so called butter baby boom. Yeah. They say
22:01
Speaker 2: toddlers love snacking on pricey grass fed, raw cultured butter
22:07
Speaker 2: from New Zealand. At least one person that's where they
22:11
Speaker 2: that's where they get it from, supporters saying it's packed
22:15
Speaker 2: with vitamins. A E k omega threes and say it
22:20
Speaker 2: gives you better sleep, better brain health, softer skin. Many
22:27
Speaker 2: saying yeah, this is a gross I mean, look, this
22:35
Speaker 2: is kind of a little bit. It fits in with
22:37
Speaker 2: the carnivore diet, right, It's it's a fat and I
22:41
Speaker 2: guess people that are into carnivore diets are doing this
22:44
Speaker 2: carnivore baby thing. So basically, if you're the kind of
22:49
Speaker 2: person that's feeding your babies, you know, meat and eggs
22:53
Speaker 2: and things and not doing processed foods, butter might very
22:57
Speaker 2: well be a superfood snack form. I'm not advocating it.
23:01
Speaker 2: I'm not a baby nutritionologist or anything. But if you're
23:07
Speaker 2: doing the carnivore thing and you're doing the carnivore thing
23:09
Speaker 2: with your baby, I'm just passing along the information. I'm
23:13
Speaker 2: not encouraging it. I'm not discouraging it. I like butter,
23:18
Speaker 2: I just don't eat sticks of it. I have looked
23:22
Speaker 2: like in my life there have been sorry I looked
23:24
Speaker 2: like I just ate sticks of butter. I did not,
23:28
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I think there should be some
23:30
Speaker 2: long term research on some of this carnivore baby stuff.
23:33
Speaker 2: I'm not again, I'm not claiming to be an expert.
23:38
Speaker 2: You're not an Airlines just did the impossible. It got
23:40
Speaker 2: the entire internet to agree that, basically by updating its
23:46
Speaker 2: rules to crack down on people blasting videos or music
23:51
Speaker 2: on their speaker on their phone. So since the twenty
23:57
Speaker 2: seventh of February, United's contract now says it can refuse
24:00
Speaker 2: service to anyone who won't use headphones. Many you can
24:03
Speaker 2: actually get kicked off a flight or banned for being
24:07
Speaker 2: a loud audio offender if you don't have headphones. United
24:11
Speaker 2: says they will hand you a free pair, so no
24:14
Speaker 2: real excuse. The movies earned praise from both sides of
24:20
Speaker 2: the political spectrum, people calling it a win for basic peace,
24:25
Speaker 2: insanity at thirty five thousand feet finally something everybody can
24:28
Speaker 2: get behind. Listen, can we do this? This resurgence that's
24:33
Speaker 2: come back? With the bass in the cars? Why does
24:39
Speaker 2: this just occasionally come back? Or the pulling up at
24:45
Speaker 2: the gas station and blaring your music. No one wants
24:48
Speaker 2: to hear that except you. No one turn the car off,
24:53
Speaker 2: get your gas, crank the car. Leave. It's just there's
24:58
Speaker 2: no consideration for other people anymore. And just recently at
25:03
Speaker 2: a restaurant, people were sharing videos with this loud, obnoxious
25:07
Speaker 2: audio that was sounded like it was destroying the speakers
25:10
Speaker 2: on their phones. And I just don't understand what the
25:14
Speaker 2: purpose in any of this is at all. Knitting it's
25:20
Speaker 2: long been a popular hobby off and on in times.
25:24
Speaker 2: Right well, researchers say that it's now genuinely good for
25:28
Speaker 2: your health. Studies show that the rhythmic repetitive motion of
25:32
Speaker 2: knitting can lower stress, slow your heart rate, reduce symptoms
25:36
Speaker 2: of anxiety and depression, can help with addiction. Works a
25:39
Speaker 2: lot like meditation, giving your brain something soothing and structured
25:43
Speaker 2: to focus on. And then there's also the social side
25:47
Speaker 2: to it. Knitting circles and community groups help people feel connected,
25:51
Speaker 2: which is especially important for older adults. Some research even
25:54
Speaker 2: suggests that regular knitting may help keep the brain sharp
25:58
Speaker 2: and delay COG decline. And it's not only about mental health.
26:04
Speaker 2: Knitting can improve fine motor skills, help with chronic pain
26:07
Speaker 2: by keeping the hands moving gently and keeping people with
26:11
Speaker 2: a sense of accomplishment. Now, some people would say, well,
26:17
Speaker 2: what do you do with all the scarves and hats
26:19
Speaker 2: and sweaters and things. I like a scarf, so you know,
26:22
Speaker 2: if you end up with an abundance of scarves. I'm good.
26:28
Speaker 2: I would love another scarf. My cousin knitted me a
26:32
Speaker 2: scarf years ago and it's great. I love it. I
26:35
Speaker 2: just packed it away because we're not I mean, I
26:37
Speaker 2: guess we got another little cold snap coming, but it's
26:39
Speaker 2: not going to be scarf weather cold. I don't think so.
26:42
Speaker 2: I'd happily take another scarf. Hey, that'll do it for
26:45
