  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carol Morning Show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, thirteenth day of March. I'm Wes. Thanks for
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: joining me. Yep, another Friday the thirteenth. We just did
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: this right a month ago. It's not a leap year,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: and it's Friday the thirteenth, February. It's gonna be Friday
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: the thirteenth in March. That's how it goes. We get
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: him back to back. Relax, it's not Monday the thirteenth.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: You'll be okay, it'll be all right. Well, I don't know,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: maybe it won't be. I just don't think it's because
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: of the day. I don't think that's what it is.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I had a friend asked me yesterday you got he
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: plans for Friday the thirteenth. I was like, yeah, might
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: kill a guy, you know, just stab him. I'm not
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: gonna stab anybody, come on, not gonna do that. But
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: that would be in the spirit of the holiday, wouldn't it. No,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: it's a movie franchise that probably should be revisited. I mean,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: a couple of them, A couple of them are pretty good.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: A couple of them are just, you know, kind of
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: made to be intentionally bad, and that's just the way
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: it goes sometimes with movies, and there's nothing wrong with that.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: You can watch a bad movie and enjoy it. That's
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: all you're allowed to do that. I don't know. I
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: think I think one of the things about the world
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: right now is that it's a scary place. And I
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: don't know if horror movies help with escapism or if
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: horror movies just kind of make you feel worse about
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: all of it. You know, it's kind of hard to gauge,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and I'm not sure what the answer is. I do
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: like horror movies, I don't watch as many of them
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: as I did maybe once upon a time, because it
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: does feel like the world's a scary place. And I'll
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: segue from that into you know, this horrific terror attack
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: that took place in Michigan to a synagogue and it's awful.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: It's awful. Reform Jewish Synagogue, West Bloomfield, Michigan, happened yesterday
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: around lunchtime local time, and you know, anti Semitism, hate
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: against the Jewish community is alive and well, and we
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: have to do everything we can, everything we can to
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: shut it down. And that means not encouraging it, not
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: fostering it. It also means, and I'm sorry, but the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: reality here is if you're you know, part of the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Jewish community and your politicians or the people that are
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: supported by your politicians or pro anti Semitism, realized what
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I did there, But you know, you probably shouldn't vote
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: for those people. You should get rid of them. You
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: should get out of office, not get rid of them.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: The conservative side is not those people. They shouldn't, you know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: it shouldn't be fostered, shouldn't be encouraged, shouldn't be in
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: any way part of what our culture is about. There
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: was a time when this was very clear. This is
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: not something that you support. It's not something that you
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: allow in your political party. You just have to get
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: rid of it. You have to do that, and you
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: have to do it by voting them out. Now. Speaking
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: of that, we did have a message on social media
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: that came from the Mayor of New York zoron Mom Donnie.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: The attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan is horrifying.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: My thoughts are with the congregation and all who are
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: shaken by this act of anti Semitic violence. I am
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: continuing to closely monitor the situation. Out of an abundance
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: of caution, NYPD will continue to show more I got
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: to hit show more deploy high visibility patrols to Jewish
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: religious cultural institutions across the five boroughs. It's a great statement.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: This came just a couple of days after he, you know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: had a known anti Semite for dinner at his house.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: So you know, it's kind of one of those things
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: where you know, you can say something like that all day,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: you can jump in and go, yeah, this is a
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: bad thing, but it's going to actually take the effort
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to try to shut it down. It's going to take
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the effort to get rid of it. And again I
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: want to stress I'm not encouraging violence with it in
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: any way. That's not what I'm doing. I'm just pointing
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: out the fact that you can't say that you're against
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: it and then you know, have people who are for
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: it over for dinner at your house. You just can't.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: It doesn't work that way, not when they're publicly known.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: But then there's a certain amount of you feel bulletproof
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: when it comes to your party, especially if you're the
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: brand new mayor, you're able to just kind of, you know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: do your thing whatever you want to do, because you're
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: trying to cater to the people who put you in office,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: not to actually defeating horrible things like anti Semitism. It's
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: a heavy start for the day. I know it's Friday.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I know you probably came here hoping for something just
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: a little bit lighter. So we're going to do that.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: We're going to start with some positive news. I like
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: this story out of Mobile, Alabama. I saw it the
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: other day and I was like, this is this is nice?
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: An oyster house and Mobile. Where's the name of this place?
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Windsols Winstils paid out a legendary promise that's been hanging
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: on their wall for over fifty years. Nineteen seventy two,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: a sign at Winsl's has offered free oysters to any
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: eighty year old man who walks into the restaurant accompanied
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: by his father. People have found it comical, you know,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: for fifty years. Jimmy Rush, though, was determined to make
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: it happen, and on his eightieth birthday, Jimmy walked through
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: the front doors with his ninety nine year old father
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Jim right by his side, to claim the history making
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: meal the restaurant, following through on the deal, serving up
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the house specialty to the duo as sixty of their
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: closest friends and family members cheered them on a milestone
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: moment for the Rush family. They already have plans to
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: do it all over again when Jimmy's younger brother it's
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: eighty in just a few years. I like it. I
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: like everything about it. It's a great story, kind of
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: one of those things that they probably went into this
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: place often looked at the sign and said, we're going
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: to do this. We're going to do this, Dad, We're
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: going to make this happen. So I really like it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: How about this is as a better story. I mean,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: that's a great story of this better story. Omaha, Nebraska
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: doctor celebrated for a life changing decision that started in
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the operating room in twenty twenty two. That's when doctor
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Amy Beth walked in to get a five year old
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: boy named True ready for major heart surgery, and she
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: noticed that the little kid sitting there completely by himself,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: no family, no social workers, no one in sight. Amy
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: knew True was facing a seven hour procedure and was
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: rattled at the idea that he was facing the situation
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: by himself, had to be scared. Think about that. A
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: scary thing for an adult, really scary with a support system,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Really scary for a five year old who doesn't have
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: anybody there with him, or maybe didn't even understand the
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: full magnitude of it. Maybe that's a possibility as well.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: The surgery was a success, and after Amy dropped True
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: off in recovery at the hospital, she called her husband
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Ryan and explained she wanted to bring True into their
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: lives as parents. Amy and Ryan officially adopted True. Kindness
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: doesn't stop there, though, After learning that True had five siblings,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: all in the foster system, Amy began a mission to
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: find homes for every single one of them. She successfully
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: recruited her sister, her sister in law, and even a
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: coworker to adopt True's brothers and sisters, and Amy and
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Ryan took in one more of the siblings themselves, all
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: six children now growing up as part of one big, connected,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: fun family thanks to Amy, who demonstrated that saving a
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: life was much more than just the day job. That's
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: a great story, well done. Great that the kid's name
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: is True too, You know, it just fits the whole thing.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Things in this life. Just are true, aren't they? All? Right?
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Time now for some strange and bizarre news from around
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the world. We'll start in California. A highway patrol officer
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: a chip if you will, lucky to be alive after
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: a close call with a YouTube viewer. The officer was
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: responding to a three car accident on Highway one oh
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: one in San Matteo and was parked on the shoulder.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: He lit some flares closed off the right lane. Somehow,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: a driver and a pickup truck didn't notice the flares
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: or the flashing lights, and managed to crash directly into
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the back of the patrol car, narrowly missing the officer,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: who stepped out of the way just in time. Now,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: when I say somehow didn't notice the flares, there's a howl.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: There's a how, there's a why. The driver told officers
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: he'd been watching YouTube on his phone and didn't notice
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: the flares or the cars on the side of the road. Amazingly,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: he wasn't hurt. Charges I'm sure are coming for this,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's not watching YouTube. Not good, not good
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: at all. Watching Netflix while you're driving, it's not good.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: No one needs that. That's that's terrible, and it could
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: have been a whole lot worse. I mean, could be
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: adding some you know, at best, manslaughter charges at best,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: could have been much worse. A British man woke up
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: feeling a little blue. Recently. Forty two year old Tommy
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Lynch had a friend rush him to the hospital when
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: he woke up with blue skin. You know Avatar style,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Smurf style, you know blue daba d that song style.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: He was afraid he could be suffering from some sort
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: of circulation or oxygen problem, but doctors quickly put his
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: mind at ease. They wiped his arm with an alcohol swab.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: The wipe turned blue. Was determined that he was perfectly healthy,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: but he had turned blue because he slept in brand new,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: unwashed bed sheets that had rubbed a blue dye all
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: over his body. Lynch says. Everyone in the emergency room
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: stared at him and he was mortified, but the staff
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: got a good laugh once the mystery was solved. It
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: took him a full week of scrubbing the die off
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: in the bath. You made sure to wash the sheets.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna like, I don't know if that's a
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: sign of cheap sheets or a sign of quality sheets.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming that's a sign of cheap sheets, all right.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I mean that can't be fine quality artists in sheets,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: That's my guess anyway. That's what I'm assuming that we're
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: not talking about some of the finest sheets that money
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: can buy. I'm assuming that this is a low and
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not faulting. If somebody wants to buy in expensive sheets,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: that's what you do. However, I would think anybody, and
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: this is just me. You buy some sheets, the first
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: thing you do is wash them. I have worn a
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: T shirt before without washing it and then regretted it later,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: and you kind of need to wash the shirt first.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: It's true with the sheets as well, especially if they're blue.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: So keep that in mind. If you buy new sheets
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: and you sleep on them without washing them first, you
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: may end up the color of the sheets. It's just
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: the reality. Let's jump over to Fairfax County, Virginia now,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: as police have been asking it for the public's help.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: There's a series of early morning break ins involving a
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: nude suspect. Detectives say four incidents curve between March fifth
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: and March eighth, and the same cluster of neighborhoods. In
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: each case, the nude burglar entered homes through unlocked doors,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: often while residents were asleep. Victims reported seeing a nude
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: man inside their homes before he ran. All police believe
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: the same individual is responsible in all four cases. I
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: would hope so. I mean, I think the only thing
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: worse than a nude burglar, you know that's like serially
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: breaking into your, you know, homes in your neighborhood, would
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: be four nude burglars, possibly more. If it's more than
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: you know, one guy, there's always a possibility that, you know,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: there could be twenty of them. Just because they stopped
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: at four so far, it doesn't mean that's all. There
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: are police increasing patrols in that area, asking residents to
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: check home security footage from the early morning hours to
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: try to find any information they can to nab the
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: naked weirdo? Is it safe to just say weirdo? Is
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: that okay? I think we can do that, can't we?
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Does she think so? I think so weirdo seems like
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: the right term for it. A Missouri woman arrested after
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: police say that she walked into a home uninvited, not naked.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I assume poured fruity pebbles all over the kitchen and
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: then took a moment to pet the family dog, all
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: while the homeowner was outside doing yard work a child
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: inside the household. Officers he smelled something burning, went downstairs
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: found thirty three year old Tiara Smith, who was sitting
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: there not wearing pants, but I'm assuming not fully nude,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: just no pants. She just got comfortable. She was eating
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: fruity pebbles with milk petting the dog. Police say the
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: cereal was scattered across the floor and the stove. When
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: officers arrived, they say Smith told him that she didn't
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: want to stay in jail because she was due to
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: appear already in court. She's now facering another charge burglary,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: so she didn't want to stay in jail because she's
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: already facing court. And then she did something to get
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: her more time in jail. So it doesn't seem good.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: And finally we'll get back to Georgia for this last one.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Right back here, back to home. Back in Georgia, police
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: called to wrangle and escape tortoise. This very large tortoise
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: slipped out of its enclosure at a local high school
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: and decided to take a Sunday stroll as neighbors spotted
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: the wandering reptile. Called nine to one one. Officers say
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: it took teamwork and a lot of muscle to lift
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: the ridiculously heavy runaway and get him back home. The
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: police double checked the gate to make sure that the
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: tortoise wouldn't attempt another great escape, and in true good humor,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: the department Hinesville Police Department, by the way, I joked
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: that next time they'll remember to stretch before lifting. It's
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: a big, big tortoise. I mean, that's a big tortoise.
• 15:44

  Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid. You'd
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: those as well. Seven six five eight forty five hundred
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O

  Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show right after
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: the break, Well, what are people watching? At least according
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: to latest you gov audience streaming tracker, A lot of
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: people watching a lot of Netflix. We go through these
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: phases where people say I'm gonna get away from Netflix,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: I'm done with Netflix. Boy they're bad. But apparently a
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: lot of people are still watching Netflix, at least according
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: to this yougove poll top shows for January of this year.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: And I guess that's about how far back we go
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: when they look at what shows are being watched and
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: of the top ten, all but one are Netflix shows.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: I say Netflix shows not necessarily produced by Netflix, but
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: shows that are currently on Netflix like Seinfeld, for example,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: not a huge surprise that Seinfeld would be still lingering
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: around as one of the most watch shows. Top of
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: the list is a Netflix show, It's Stranger Things, His
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: and Hers, Fallout, The Closer, Runaway, Vin Seinfeld, Homeland, Prodigal Sun,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: The West, Wing and Found and Fallout. Only one of
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: those shows it's not on Netflix that is an Amazon
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Prime show. So yeah, you know, when people go through
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: these phases where they act like they're gonna get rid
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: of Netflix for one reason or another, there's apparently still
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: people that are, you know, right there down with the Netflix.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: A lot of people, at least. Engineers Northwestern University have
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: developed a new breed of meta machines made of independent
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: lego like structures that snap together to form hirely new
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: species of robots. Each individual part has its own motor
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: and brain, allowing these things to roll and jump on
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: their own or combine into strange AI powered shapes that
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: move like seals, lizards, or kangaroos. Because the machine is
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: essentially a collection of smaller robots, it's pretty much indestructible.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: If a leg is chopped off, then the main body
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: keeps moving while the broken piece simply crawls away and
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: tries to rejoin the group. Interesting, not scary at all.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Nothing terrifying about these little machines lego like structures, I
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: say little. I don't know how big they actually are.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: I guess I should maybe look into that before I
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: assume that they're small, because maybe they're definitely large enough
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: to destroy me. Yeah, they're not as small as you think.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: When you hear lego structure, basically looks like a series
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: of dumbbells attached to each other. So that's kind of
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: or maybe bicycle handles with little balls that connect them together.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: I guess I don't know, but I can say maybe
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: we're not in trouble yet. Certainly feels like it's coming, though,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: doesn't it. Researchers have successfully grown functional hair follicles in
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: a lab that actually behave like the real thing. The
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: big breakthrough was figuring out how to get these things
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: to naturally cycle through periods of growth and rest, which
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: has allowed the follicles to attach to tissue and sprout
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: hair without needing an immediate transplant. Haven't cured baldness yet,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: got to be clear on that, and they've only tested
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: this way of doing things on mice, but it does
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: look like it could be a significant breakthrough and a
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: massive leap toward being able to simply regrow a full
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: head of hair from scratch. NBA will look different, you know.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I mean there's a point where you just in the NBA, like,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: for example, it just kind of was like, you know,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: we're just gonna do the bald thing. We're just gonna
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: all be bald. A couple of guys are gonna hang
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: in there. Lebron kind of redrew his hair on or
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: whatever that story was. I don't know. But the point is,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: if this is people that can afford this at the beginning,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: pro athletes that want to make sure they've got their hair,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: they'd probably be the first ones to jump in head first,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: right pun intended Researchers have successfully taught a cluster of
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: living human brain cells in a peatrie dish to play
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: the classic video game Doom. Scientists translated the games three
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: D environment into electrical pulses and then program the mini
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: brain to navigate, spin, and shoot at enemies in real
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: time without any computer chips involved. While the cells currently
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: play like total beginners, the experiment proves that the brain
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: cells can process complex information in ways that standard computer
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: chips simply cannot match. Following this up with the other story,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think we got reasons to be, but
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: all three of these stories we have reasons to be
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: like ah, and then also ooh, you know the hair
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: one maybe not so much, but two out of three
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: are kind of given reason to raise an eyebrow and
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: go ooh. So that'll do it for this Friday edition
