  Speaker 2: have a host hotel or two pop up if you
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: want to stay in one of those, as some cancellations
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: have inevitably happened as we get closer to the actual

  Speaker 2: Labor Day weekend. Otherwise, there are some spillover hotels where

  Speaker 2: you can book your weekend. We're just planned for a

  Speaker 2: It's one of the largest parades that happens in the
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Southeast period all year, definitely the largest of its kind.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: You know, this isn't Saint Patrick's Day. This isn't Marty Gras.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: This is not specifically associated with a holiday. It's just

  Speaker 2: celebrating fandoms. It's fun, it's a great day. It's a
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: great way to kick off a Saturday. If you go
• 1:30

  Speaker 2: Dragon Con Pregame Show and dragon Con Pregame Show Podcast
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: powered by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Only guess I can confirm I told you I might
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: have another one to confirm today, not just yet, not
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: so fast. Maybe tomorrow soon though, because the interview may
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: be happening very soon. But I can only confirm at
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: this point. Katie Sackoff Battlestar Galactica, the Star Wars franchise
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: was a Longmire. Yep, she was on that show. My
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: dad loves some Longmire. Never gotten into I need to
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: do Longmire. Apparently I was told if you like Justified,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you'll like Longmire, So I guess I should do that.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: So confirmed, we'll have her on the show on the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Dragon Con pregame show plus past episodes waiting for you
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: wherever you listen to your podcast. Okay, So one of
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the things that came up often on my trip to Australia.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: You go overseas and people will ask you questions, especially
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: if we have at the time a president who is
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It takes a beating from the media.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I mentioned before, I was in Australia during the Clinton
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Lewinsky scandal. A lot of people ask questions about that.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: They wanted to know, They want to know what was
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: going on there, what the deal was, some explanation of
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: what was what. We had an election that was coming
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: up on one of my trips, and I remember being
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: asked by many where I thought things were going to go.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Notoriously bad at predicting elections. I'm not good at it
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: at all. I'm being honest. Although this past election I
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: was able to predict the exact turnout as far as
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: exact scoring, if you will, as far as the electoral
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: votes that were or one got it exactly right. I
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: named every state, first time I've ever done that. I'm
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: notoriously bad at predicting. But although one of my trips
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I was asked about who I thought the next president
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: would be. I said George W. Bush. That happened, That
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: was one that I predicted, But that was the gap
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: from that George W. Bush and then his re election
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: to this most recent election. Haven't been good at predicting.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: The others just been wrong, wrong, wrong, But anyway, got
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: them right this time. Maybe I should stop. I had
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: really stopped, but I thought, you know, for the purposes
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: of the show, I should at least make some sort
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: of a prediction, And I laid out what I thought
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the electoral votes would be, and that's where we got to.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: That's where things played out. So anyway, the point is,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: you go overseas when there is a president that is
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: maybe questionable, you get people that will ask questions. And
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: when I say questionable, but based on what they hear
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: from the media. And I've told you that while I
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: was in Australia on this most recent trip, just a
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: few weeks ago I was there, there were people who
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: would ask questions, some curious, Hey, this stuff we're hearing
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: about him can't be true, is it. I think, well,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: a lot of what we hear about him is not true.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: A lot of it is way off the mark. So
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know exactly what you've heard, but here's what
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I can tell you, and then fill in the blanks.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: And occasionally people would ask about things as they pertaining
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to tariffs, Oh my gosh, he's giving this country or
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: that country a beating, and he's picking on this place
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: or that place. And all I could say to that
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: was you got to give it time to play out,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: because weeks ago we didn't really have any answers yet.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: You know, when I left for that trip, we didn't
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: have answers. Seemed like things were going to start playing
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: out as we got into the summer, really into the days,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: but we didn't really know where things were headed at
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the time. In fact, and I'm going to get to
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: an example of this, but there were predictions that the
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: economy would blow up by Independence day, that Trump's moves
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: towards tariffs and his attempts to negotiate deals with other
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: countries was going to tank us. We'd be in a
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: recession by Independence Day, and that didn't happen. I think
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: it was really largely coming from a place of people
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: wanting to see him fail and hoping badly that he
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: would fail, and that didn't happen. And all that I
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: could tell people when they would ask me about things
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: or take little shots and jabs. One person even told
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: me something about, as our boys were enjoying some ice cream,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: well you better have it now because it'll be you
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: won't be able to afford ice cream by the end
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: of the year with those tariffs, which didn't make any sense.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: But it was clearly just an attempt at trying to
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: make a little comment and take a jack or whatever.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't take that stuff personally. I
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: know I could if I let myself get into this
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: place of like you're messing with me. Because dot dot
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: dot but I think it was just really a boy.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: You know your president's going to ruin things, and you
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: just let it go because there's no real benefit. There's
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: an old adage about you know, you don't live here,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: you don't vote, so honestly, you can have whatever opinion.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can have whatever opinion you want if
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: you live here. But I care more about the opinions
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: of people that live here, no offense, people that are
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I should say, people who can vote here. I care
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: more about their opinions really than just about everybody else,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: especially people that don't live here at all. But obviously,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: why would a tariff on ice cream even be a fact?
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Like we're not importing a lot of ice cream, it's
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: not a big import thing, or not just shipping in
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: ice that ice cream from you know, Scandinavia. We don't
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: do that. I mean, I'm sure there are some fabulous
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: ice creams from Scandony, but I don't know that. You know,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: you're gonna hit me more if you go, boy that
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Irish whiskey you like, ah might want to start drinking
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: some American whiskey, which I think is kind of the
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: point of some of these tariffs. But anyway, so now
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: we're getting a little bit of answers on things because
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the economy didn't blow up by independence date. It's actually
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: doing fine. It's actually doing pretty well, showing more signs
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: of improvement. And now we've had a few of these
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: tariff deals made and yesterday the announcement, well I guess
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: it kind of came over the weekend that it was
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: getting done. But a deal with Europe, a deal with
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the UK, after a deal with Japan that's just gone through,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I would say some progress has been made. And to
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: the folks that were hoping this economy was going to
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: blow up and that this president was going to fail,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: and you know what, anything can still happen, right, anything
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: can happen. But these are the kinds of deals, these
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: trade deals are the very things that Trump came in
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: and intended to get done.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: See.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: The argument here is that we've been raked over the coals.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: We shipped something somewhere and there's these crazy tariffs and
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: fees and things that we have to pay. So why
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: isn't everybody else paying their fair share? And I had
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: people say, well, he bullied countries, that's what he was doing.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: He was pushing people around the things that he did
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: to Canada and the things that he was doing to
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I guess, I don't know what he was doing to Australia.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Was he doing something to Australia. I had people there
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: a saying, oh my gosh, the things he's done to
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: us here, and I'm not really schooled on that. I
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: didn't realize that that was going on. But ultimately, the
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: goal is to get a deal that's fair for everybody.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: And that was the point that I made to everyone. Look,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: when this all settles, he can threaten, oh, I'm gonna,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: you know, put a three hundred percent tariff on your
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: stuff coming in. But in the end, when an agreement
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: gets made and trade gets resolved, this is what his
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: intention was. Make it fair for everybody involved. And when
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: two sides can negotiate, shake hands, sign the papers, and
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: move forward, and it's beneficial to both of them to
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: do that. Well, how dared American president look out for
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: the interests of the American people. It's not something that
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: we've had for a while. It's nice to have that
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: and know that there are those interests being looked out for.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: And I think everybody should want their leaders to look
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: out for their interests makes sense, doesn't it. I know
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: you want to feel like, oh, well, we're looking out
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: for the interests of the whole world. Well, yeah, that's
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: what these deals end up doing. I'm no terifologist. This
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: isn't my specific area of expertise. So it's not like
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I can say, look, here are the specific implications of
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: each of these percentage points. All that I can tell
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: you is we've got some deals that have now been made,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: and the ink is dry, and we move on. And
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: right now we have a president already ready to go
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: on to the next one. Let's get another trade deal made.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Let's make sure that everybody involved is getting a fair
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: shake in all this. And I can admit I'm not
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: an expert on this. I don't know everything about it.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I don't. You probably don't either, just being honest, I mean,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: maybe you do. Maybe this is your field as you're listening,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: But chances are, of all the people that are listening,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: probably not a lot of people that are experts in this.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: And if you're just regurgitating whatever you hear, positive or
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: negative from the news, I mean, that's all it is,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: is a regurgitation. You can't sit back and say, hey boy,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: this is what I know. I learned everything about tariffs
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: in three days, and I can tell you everything. And
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I've been doing it now for six months. I can
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: tell you everything about it. Now, let's jump over to
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: what's just happened with the Club Random podcast. Bill Maher
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: has admitted another time for Bill Maher to say, you
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: know what, let me swallow my pride a little bit
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: and admit I was wrong about something with Donald Trump.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: And on his Club Random podcast, he said that he
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: was wrong about tariffs and Donald Trump, and he says
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: he's got to own it because this economy right now
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: is thriving, and he says, just to take an example, tariffs. Now,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I remember that I, along with probably most people, was
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: saying at the beginning, oh, you know by the fourth
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: of July, the economy was going to be tanked by then.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: And I was like, well, that seems right to me.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: But that didn't happen. It could happen tomorrow. I'm just saying,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: that's reality. So let's work first from the reality of that,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: not from I just hate Donald Trump, because that's boring
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: and it doesn't get us anywhere, and it leads you
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: to dishonesty. The truth is. I don't know what his
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: strategy is, but look, the stock market is a record highs.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I also drive around. I don't see a country in
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: a depression at all. I see people just out there
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: living their lives. I would have thought, and I've got
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: to own it, that these tariffs were going to sink
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: this economy. There's an explotive in there too by this time,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: and they didn't. How do we deal with that fact
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: because that's the fact, and that's a real reality that
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: people are starting to adjust to now. Most on the
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: left don't want to admit that, and that's become this
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: new Bill Maher that we're all still adjusting to, where
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: he'll say really horrible things about Trump and then sometimes
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: I have to go back later and go, eh, that
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: was wrong. I'm gonna keep saying bad stuff about him,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: but about this when I was wrong, and that's that's fine.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I think that's what you should do. I've defended people
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: in politics over the years. I've defended actions and defended
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: things and been debt wrong about it and had to
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: come around and admit later that I was wrong. Thought
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I had an understanding of that, and I did not.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I when and I've meant I've talked about this here
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: and radio, and I can tell you this. I didn't
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: think Trump was serious. I didn't think he was a
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: serious candidate for president. I didn't didn't think that at all.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: And I really thought he was just kind of in
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: there to lose, you know, boost his profile. It's just
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I don't want to thought. And then the closer we
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: got to election day and I went, he seems to
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: be actually trying to win, and then he did. I
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: didn't know that he could, so that it was like, well,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: let's see what he can do. And then he did
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: some really good things. And by the way, on that
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: during that first presidency, our previous trip to Australia before
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: the most recent one, people then were saying things to
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: me like, man, everybody says bad things about Trump, but
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: he's doing really great things for the economy and it's
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: rolled over to our economy and that's a good thing.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: When he does things that boost your economy, it boosts
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: our economy, and we're excited about it. These are people
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I knew who worked in finance. These are people I
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: know who worked in their specific field, rotated around how
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: the economy was doing in Australia as it rolled down
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: from US. So, yes, we're doing pretty well right now.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: And a couple of big wins here recently, now three
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: big wins recently when it comes to trade deals. So
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there's some more in the works. I'm sure
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: there's some more good things coming. Feels like it certainly
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: feels like things are starting to turn around. We're starting
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: to get some of that relief we've been waiting on
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: since COVID because we had a president right after COVID
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: and enduring it, really overlapping it, and he was asleep
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: at the wheel, but the people running things were hell
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: bent on making sure we didn't recover. I mean, this
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: was a we have other things to accomplish. We can't
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: let people get a break. We've got them down. Let's
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: put our foot on their throats and let's pass some
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: green legislation that's not happening right now now, and we're
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: actually getting an opportunity to pull out of this and
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: feel some positivity for once. Today's show brought to you
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Hey everyone, this is doctor Sean Crusin. I'm the executive

  Speaker 3: director of Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: I want to tell you about a very special exhibit
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: that we have on display the summer. It's so big
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: that it can't even fit in our own exhibit gallery.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: It's just too many pieces. This is a collection of
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: items from the personal collection of astronaut David R.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Scott.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Dave Scott flew on Gemini eight with Neil Armstrong, he
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: flew on Apollo nine, a dress rehearsal for the moon landing,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: and then most importantly perhaps he commanded Apollo fifteen, where
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: he became the first person to ever drive a car
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: on the surface of the Moon. Because Dave's brother, Tom
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: lived and worked here in Columbus, Georgia with our Columbus
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: Chamber of Commerce, we got to be good friends with Tom.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Tom has coordinated a very generous donation of artifacts and
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: memorabilia from the Scott brothers collection to us here at
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center. And again, that collection got
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: so overwhelmingly large we couldn't put it on display here.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: That's why we're doing the exhibit at the Bow Bartlet Center.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: They are open from eleven am to four pm Tuesday
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: through Saturday. Go down and check out this great exhibit
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: on display at the Bow Bartlet Center. Check out all
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: the other wonderful pieces of arn't work down there as well,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: and then come visit us here at Columbus State University's
• 18:35

  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of square in that
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: away for you, and while they're there, you can always
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: man cavid, you'd like to be able to open the
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: They do those as well. Seven six thorty five eight

  Speaker 2: Right after the break, well, do you remember the woman
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: in China who moved into a retirement home in spite
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: of the fact that she was I think in her
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: thirties or forties. Well it's happened again. Now an Australian
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: woman has moved into a retirement home and she loves
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: her new home, loves the other residents, she enjoys the
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: daily activities bingo, chair yoga, morning walks. She's thirty eight.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: After a long term relationship ended, she needed a place
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: to live. She stayed at an airbnb for a while,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: but after visiting her aunt at a retirement community, she
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: fell in love with the place and decided to move in.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: She says she's never been happier. She believes the slower
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: pace is good for her mental help, and it only
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: costs her about five hundred dollars a month, a fraction
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: of the cost of an apartment in Melbourne. She's heard
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: the criticism from her own family and others on social
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: media who say she's too young to live in a
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: retirement community, but she doesn't care. She's embraced the lifestyle
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: and has no plans to leave. That's got people talking,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: how does it sound? Does it sound too young to
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: start that lifestyle? Or does it sound the exact right
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: pace for maybe the exact right person. I don't know,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: but now it's happened a second time, so or at
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: least a second time. There may be others who've given
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: this a tribe, all right. Grandmothers, warm and sweet, most
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: of them are, and some of our fondest memories may
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: be growing up spent with our grandparents, well many grandparents,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: though maybe not around anymore. I guess more aren't around
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: than are around. I mean, if I'm being quite literal
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: with my observation on this, but many people don't still
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: have their grandparents. I don't still have my grandparents. For example,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: a company in Japan is giving people an opportunity to
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: rent grandparents. Company called Client Services, which has all sorts
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: of convenience services available. Convenience Services is offering something called
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Okay Grandma. For about twenty three dollars an hour. You
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: can rent a senior woman between the ages of sixty
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: and ninety four to cook you a homemade meal, give
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: you life advice, or just keep you company. Some are
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: expert chefs, others are master housekeepers. Many are just great listeners.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Company says their life experience, warmth, and wisdom make them
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: irreplaceable companions. I like it. I like it. Next, we've
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: got Pepsi launching a soft drink designed to help your insides.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: It's Pepsi's Prebiotic Cola and it will be available beginning
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: in November online only and start appearing in stores next year.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Available in two flavors, Original Cola and cherry vanilla, each
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: with thirty calories, five grams of cane sugar, three grams
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: of pre biotic fiber, and no artificial sweeteners. The company
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: says that the original cola designed to taste just like
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: normal pepsi. There's a number of these prebiotic and probiotic
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: type drinks on the market, so we'll see as Pepsi
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: sticks a toe into those prebiotic waters. I guess all right,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: if you heard of the tea app for the Ladies
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: in your Life. Basically, it's a women only platform and
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: it's the number one free app on the Apple Store
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: right now. This allows women to anonymously share experiences and
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: opinions about men in their cities. Women sharing red flags
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: and green flags to rate guys and offering comments such
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: as describing bad date experiences or vouching for the guy
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: as a friend. The app let's users run background checks,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: search for criminal records, and reverse search photos to make
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: sure that their dating app pictures are actually legit and
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: really them. So this is obviously very popular. If it's
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: the most downloaded app right now in the Apple Store
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: of the free apps, so would you use it? I
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: could see where it could be a valuable resource if
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: you are trying to get to know a guy that
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: maybe you want to date or whatever, and you get
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: some little bit of inside track on finding out what
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: they're really like from women who've encountered them. And researchers
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: in Spain are trying to figure care out the health
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: effects of moderate drinking a four year study that involves
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: ten thousand adults aged fifty to seventy five. During the
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: four years, the researchers will be providing study subjects with
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: free wine. The catch, though half of the participants will
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: get free wine, the other half will get nothing and
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: have to completely abstain from any alcohol throughout the research period.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: And you don't know which group you'll be in when
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: you sign up. So if you like wine, you got
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: a fifty to fifty shot at free wine. If you
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: don't like wine, you got a fifty to fifty shot
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: at having a drink wine. I guess that's how that
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: would work. So that'll do it for this Tuesday edition
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: you for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.

  Speaker 2: I often like to discuss the science behind the science
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: fiction and the connections between where science fiction sometimes leads
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: to science science sometimes leads to science fiction. It's just
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: a weird connection that's all already there. It's built into it.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: And I say it's weird, but it's really not. It
• 28:03
