0:01
Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Tuesday morning of fifteenth day of April. Tax Day. For
0:14
Speaker 2: most of you, most people got to get them done
0:18
Speaker 2: by today, right, Some people got I don't know, just
0:21
Speaker 2: do whatever. Not everybody even pays taxes, right, I mean
0:26
Speaker 2: you got to file something. I guess, I don't know.
0:28
Speaker 2: I don't know what. What do they do if you
0:29
Speaker 2: don't pay anything and you don't file, and you know,
0:35
Speaker 2: then do they make you paying you're already not paying.
0:37
Speaker 2: Most people don't pay I think, I think the majority
0:39
Speaker 2: of people don't pay anything. It's always fascinating to me that,
0:43
Speaker 2: And I understand there's circumstances for some people that don't pay.
0:49
Speaker 2: I just I get curious about the people that you know,
0:53
Speaker 2: play you know, very overly critical, overly anal about you know,
1:02
Speaker 2: the billionaires that have one tax bracket on their business
1:07
Speaker 2: versus everybody else, when it's a few percentage points different
1:10
Speaker 2: or whatever, but they still pay, you know, in some
1:15
Speaker 2: cases billions more than everybody else. They pay more than
1:20
Speaker 2: everybody else combined. Outside of that, you know, dreaded one
1:25
Speaker 2: percenter club, and people are so worried about that, and
1:27
Speaker 2: they're not concerned about the people. They don't pay anything
1:30
Speaker 2: about anything at all with you know. And I understand
1:34
Speaker 2: there's people in different circumstances of their life. I get that,
1:37
Speaker 2: but it's just interesting where we put that focus. But anyway,
1:42
Speaker 2: speaking of rich people, just for quickly talk about Jeff Bezos,
1:48
Speaker 2: because yesterday Blue Origin, his rocket company, launched the new
1:56
Speaker 2: Shepherd rocket into space, the eleven minute space tourism flight
2:02
Speaker 2: that we know. William Shatner went on, Michael Strahan went on.
2:06
Speaker 2: This latest mission, if you call it that, is it
2:10
Speaker 2: a mission? It's just a launch in a land right.
2:13
Speaker 2: The mission, I suppose is those few minutes of wait,
2:16
Speaker 2: like three minutes, four minutes of weightlessness they get before
2:19
Speaker 2: they get out, float around, and then they get back
2:21
Speaker 2: in the seat and then get ready to come back down.
2:23
Speaker 2: I guess that's the mission. I mean, it's not like
2:26
Speaker 2: it's they're going up to to do science. You know,
2:30
Speaker 2: They're going up just to go up. And that's fine.
2:34
Speaker 2: I don't I don't have any I don't have any
2:36
Speaker 2: issues with that. I think this whole thing and I
2:40
Speaker 2: want to address a little bit of that in a
2:42
Speaker 2: minute when it comes to the significance of space tourism
2:46
Speaker 2: and what's going on. But what I would like to
2:49
Speaker 2: just quickly address is this was hyped as the first
2:52
Speaker 2: ever all female crew, and there's a lot of hype
2:56
Speaker 2: about how this was the first time it was all
2:59
Speaker 2: women who were launched into space, and in this case
3:04
Speaker 2: because it was you know, the blue origin, it was
3:06
Speaker 2: the you know, giant phallic thing that launches into space
3:10
Speaker 2: and no offense. That's just theuodynamics of all of it.
3:14
Speaker 2: I just couldn't help the more they talked about how
3:16
Speaker 2: it was all women that I thought, it's just interesting
3:20
Speaker 2: the shape of the rocket. But anyway, if you listen
3:24
Speaker 2: to the Mate of Stars podcast that doctor Sean Cruisin
3:27
Speaker 2: and I do together, we've talked a lot about space tourism.
3:30
Speaker 2: We've talked over the years. We've talked about the significance
3:34
Speaker 2: of these trips. And I've got friends who were critical
3:39
Speaker 2: of you know, they were all they like to say, Oh,
3:42
Speaker 2: this is just you know, rich people spending rich people money.
3:46
Speaker 2: It doesn't really affect the rest of it. It does.
3:49
Speaker 2: It affects all of us to a degree. And I
3:53
Speaker 2: know not everybody thinks sort of big picture when it
3:59
Speaker 2: comes to these things. But let me just point out, like, yes,
4:04
Speaker 2: this is something that is pretty much exclusively for wealthy
4:09
Speaker 2: people right now. These are expensive tickets someone you know
4:13
Speaker 2: paying their way or funding it or in some cases
4:16
Speaker 2: for publicity. Gail King from CBS was one of the
4:21
Speaker 2: people that was on this particular rocket, And this is
4:24
Speaker 2: like what Michael Strahand did. This is someone who can
4:27
Speaker 2: tell everybody about the experience and say, look what I did,
4:31
Speaker 2: and you know, I was part of this, I did
4:34
Speaker 2: this thing. Here's how it was life changing or life
4:38
Speaker 2: affirming or whatever whatever this everybody has a different version
4:42
Speaker 2: of it. William Shatner came through it and you know,
4:46
Speaker 2: said hi, praise for it, and then later was like
4:49
Speaker 2: it was it scared me. You know, it was one
4:51
Speaker 2: of the like I looked into the deep abyss of
4:53
Speaker 2: space from that height and I said, I don't this
4:56
Speaker 2: is terrifying. And everybody has sort of a different experience.
5:00
Speaker 2: And I think right after doing it, there's probably so
5:02
Speaker 2: much adrenaline. You're talking about an eleven minute trip up
5:05
Speaker 2: and down. It's not a long process. It's very much
5:10
Speaker 2: a quick trip. But here's the thing and Sean and
5:14
Speaker 2: I have talked about this on Meta Stars a number
5:16
Speaker 2: of times. I've probably addressed it here. There was a
5:19
Speaker 2: time when your motor vehicle was a luxury just for
5:24
Speaker 2: the rich. There was a time when certainly getting on
5:27
Speaker 2: an airplane and flying across country was a luxury just
5:31
Speaker 2: for the rich. There was a time when certainly international travel,
5:35
Speaker 2: you know, trans continental flights were a luxury just for
5:39
Speaker 2: the daring, and then a luxury just for the rich.
5:42
Speaker 2: And the fact that the rich did it is what
5:45
Speaker 2: ultimately paved the way for it to be affordable for
5:47
Speaker 2: everybody else. Now, is the idea of everybody else going
5:52
Speaker 2: to space just to barely kiss, you know, space, get
5:56
Speaker 2: just barely high enough to say, hey, I was in space,
5:59
Speaker 2: and come back down. Is that a particular thing that
6:02
Speaker 2: is going to be, you know, this widespread thing in
6:07
Speaker 2: the future that that eventually, you know, everybody can afford.
6:10
Speaker 1: To do it.
6:11
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I do know that if you know,
6:15
Speaker 2: the people funding private space companies have their way, space
6:21
Speaker 2: tourism could be a thing. There could be you know,
6:23
Speaker 2: floating space stations in the sky that people can go
6:26
Speaker 2: up and you know as a hotel. I mean, this
6:29
Speaker 2: is something that's been worked on the idea that we
6:33
Speaker 2: want some sort of colonizing on the moon in Mars.
6:36
Speaker 2: These are all things that again at the beginning, are
6:40
Speaker 2: going to be reserved exclusively for the wealthy, and before
6:44
Speaker 2: that it'll be exclusively for the military, to be exclusively
6:47
Speaker 2: for space force, and it'll be exclusive and in some
6:50
Speaker 2: cases you're going to have private companies that are going
6:53
Speaker 2: to be involved in all that. But just know that
6:57
Speaker 2: right now, yes, the rich people are the ones that
6:59
Speaker 2: can afford it, and they're the ones that are going
7:00
Speaker 2: up and saying, hey, I've been to space and I've
7:02
Speaker 2: come back down. But they're paving the way with their
7:05
Speaker 2: money for the future for it, because now we have
7:08
Speaker 2: two companies that are bringing boosters down and landing them upright,
7:12
Speaker 2: and sustainability is a big part of moving forward with.
7:15
Speaker 1: All of this.
7:16
Speaker 2: So just no, there's more to it than just boy,
7:19
Speaker 2: these are rich people blowing through money that's not helping
7:22
Speaker 2: to cure cancer or you know. And Jared Isaacman, who
7:29
Speaker 2: you know, was Trump's pick to run NASA. He was
7:33
Speaker 2: he'd been criticized for that for some of his trips.
7:36
Speaker 2: So when he went up and did a spacewalk as
7:39
Speaker 2: a private citizen. He made it into a fundraiser for
7:43
Speaker 2: an opportunity to donate money to cure childhood disease. So
7:48
Speaker 2: there's more. You know, your criticism isn't unheard, but there's
7:53
Speaker 2: more to it than that. It's very small minded to think, oh,
7:55
Speaker 2: this is just but understandable. But I'm just pointing out
8:00
Speaker 2: this is not me being critical of people who have
8:03
Speaker 2: this opinion. I think if you have this opinion and
8:05
Speaker 2: then someone points out that this is paving the way
8:08
Speaker 2: for bigger things and you still have that opinion, well
8:11
Speaker 2: that's different. But if you're coming into this and just saying, wow,
8:14
Speaker 2: rich people can afford this, that's an understandable thought. But
8:18
Speaker 2: this is an explanation for why that's not really seeing
8:21
Speaker 2: the big picture. And that's all I mean by that.
8:23
Speaker 1: Now.
8:24
Speaker 2: The other criticism I have of this is the hype
8:26
Speaker 2: about this being the first all female crew to go up,
8:31
Speaker 2: and among them not just Gail King, Oprah Winfrey's good buddy.
8:37
Speaker 2: Also on board was Katie Perry, the singer and former
8:41
Speaker 2: American Idol host. She's not on there anymore, right, And
8:43
Speaker 2: I think Carrie Underwood came in there and then also
8:50
Speaker 2: and there were I guess a total of six of them. Okay,
8:54
Speaker 2: but Lauren Sanchez, who is the fiance of Jeff Bezos,
9:00
Speaker 2: I think they're set to get married, and she said
9:02
Speaker 2: about this mission and going up, I've got to get
9:04
Speaker 2: back down. We've got a wedding coming up. So they
9:07
Speaker 2: go up eleven minutes sixty two miles above the Earth
9:10
Speaker 2: and they say, you know, passing the Carmen line, which
9:12
Speaker 2: designates outer space. There's a lot of discussions about is
9:16
Speaker 2: it an astronaut If there's no mission, that's that you
9:20
Speaker 2: can debate that, that's a great question. But for the
9:22
Speaker 2: purposes of did they go into space, therefore making them
9:25
Speaker 2: an astronaut, this conversation and it'll never really be resolved never.
9:31
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe at some point there should be probably
9:35
Speaker 2: a designation. But and what I'm getting to is there
9:38
Speaker 2: is a reason we should have a designation because this
9:42
Speaker 2: all female crew. They got in, they strapped in, they
9:46
Speaker 2: were launched, they weren't you know, it wasn't a pilot.
9:51
Speaker 2: There wasn't you know, there's not an engineer on board.
9:54
Speaker 2: They don't have a chief medical officer and have a crew.
9:57
Speaker 2: They've just got six passengers, because this is a tourism
10:01
Speaker 2: trip going to space. That's what it was, and there
10:06
Speaker 2: is an importance to it for the purposes of space tourism.
10:11
Speaker 2: There's a purpose to it. Like I said, to work
10:14
Speaker 2: on eventually working out a number of things with this
10:17
Speaker 2: so that it does become more affordable, so average everyday
10:21
Speaker 2: people could possibly do this and achieve this. But to
10:26
Speaker 2: hype this as the first ever all female crew to
10:32
Speaker 2: take a trip to space, at some point there will
10:38
Speaker 2: be a launch NASA astronauts of women that will go
10:44
Speaker 2: to space and it will be all women. At some
10:46
Speaker 2: point that's going to happen. Obviously, when it comes to
10:50
Speaker 2: doing those sorts of things, there's a number of factors
10:53
Speaker 2: that come into play. But at some point we're going
10:56
Speaker 2: to have that happen. And now this will take away
10:59
Speaker 2: from that. If you consider these people astronauts, If Gail
11:03
Speaker 2: King and Katie Perry are now truly astronauts as part
11:08
Speaker 2: of the first ever all female crew to go to space,
11:13
Speaker 2: when three or four qualified astronauts launched a space legitimate
11:19
Speaker 2: astronauts going to the International Space Station or going to
11:24
Speaker 2: the Moon or going to Mars or whatever, at that
11:27
Speaker 2: point doesn't this take a little away from that. If
11:30
Speaker 2: you're calling it all of these things, if you're calling
11:33
Speaker 2: them astronauts and an all female crew, it's all female passengers,
11:37
Speaker 2: I think there should be a designation. They don't ask
11:40
Speaker 2: me for my thoughts, my feedback on this, but as
11:46
Speaker 2: someone who is part of space journalism covering Made of Stars,
11:49
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you this is a bit of a
11:53
Speaker 2: reach to call this what it was called. It was
11:57
Speaker 2: a nice publicity, I think, you know, sending Jeff Bezos's fiance,
12:02
Speaker 2: you know, Lauren Sanchez, sending her to space along with
12:06
Speaker 2: you know, Katie Perry and Gail King, gives a lot
12:08
Speaker 2: of opportunity, a lot of eyes on it. And here's Bezos.
12:11
Speaker 2: Bezos himself has been up on one of these, an
12:14
Speaker 2: opportunity for him to say, look, she went up, now too,
12:17
Speaker 2: she's gone up. She was part of this all all
12:20
Speaker 2: women trip.
12:22
Speaker 1: So is what it is.
12:24
Speaker 2: People talked about it yesterday, a few people still talking
12:27
Speaker 2: about it today. I'm sure CBS will be talking about
12:29
Speaker 2: it as long as they possibly can. With Gail King understandably,
12:33
Speaker 2: that's what they want people to do. That do it,
12:35
Speaker 2: And honestly, if they called up Sean and I and said, hey,
12:38
Speaker 2: we'd like you guys to go up. Yes, Native stars
12:41
Speaker 2: would love to go into space and be astronauts. We
12:46
Speaker 2: would love to It's very different when you're trying to
12:52
Speaker 2: hype it as space tourism, and it's very different when
12:54
Speaker 2: you're trying to say that you're actually going up and
12:57
Speaker 2: doing science and you're going up and actually crewing a
13:00
Speaker 2: mission of some kind. That's the only point that I've
13:02
Speaker 2: been trying to make one more quick thing. And I
13:05
Speaker 2: was going to talk about this yesterday, but I wanted
13:08
Speaker 2: to spend a little bit of time actually watching it
13:11
Speaker 2: because I did not get a chance over the weekend
13:14
Speaker 2: to watch it. But I wanted to talk about that.
13:16
Speaker 2: Bill Maher had his first showback after his dinner with
13:22
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. This was something that was set up by
13:27
Speaker 2: Kid Rock Bill Maher and I know him as Bob.
13:31
Speaker 2: I met Kid Rock a long time ago. Super nice guy,
13:34
Speaker 2: and yes, he told me to call him Bob. He
13:39
Speaker 2: you know, says, hey, I'm friends with the president. I
13:42
Speaker 2: really think that you and Bill should sit down and
13:46
Speaker 2: you know, just have a meal together. And I guess
13:48
Speaker 2: Dana White from the MMA was also there, and they did.
13:54
Speaker 2: They had this I guess it was a couple of
13:56
Speaker 2: weeks ago. They sat down, they had a meal together,
13:59
Speaker 2: and it was an opportunity for Bill Maher to just
14:03
Speaker 2: get to know Trump. Didn't know him nothing but shouting
14:06
Speaker 2: insults back and forth at each other over the years,
14:08
Speaker 2: that's what they've done, and this was an opportunity for
14:12
Speaker 2: them to sit down together. Mar's report and I'm going
14:16
Speaker 2: to give a just kind of a quick summary of it,
14:18
Speaker 2: but he basically said, Trump that he met, Trump that
14:22
Speaker 2: he spent a few hours with in the White House,
14:24
Speaker 2: is not the guy that we see on TV. And
14:27
Speaker 2: he doesn't know why the guy we see on TV
14:29
Speaker 2: isn't the person that Trump really is. But he said
14:32
Speaker 2: Trump was gracious, Trump had a sense of humor. Trump
14:36
Speaker 2: didn't take things personally. Mar said he lobbed a few
14:39
Speaker 2: shots at him, a few jokes, and Trump laughed at
14:42
Speaker 2: them or just kind of said, oh yeah, good point.
14:46
Speaker 2: And then there were a couple of issues that he
14:48
Speaker 2: specifically asked more, Hey, you're a smart guy. What do
14:50
Speaker 2: you think about this? What do you think about Iran
14:52
Speaker 2: and nuclear? What do you think about these things? Mar
14:56
Speaker 2: even said, I told him what the Obama administration was doing,
15:00
Speaker 2: seemed to be working and you canceled that, and he
15:03
Speaker 2: said Trump didn't take it personally, and he basically sort
15:07
Speaker 2: of seemed to take it in. Does that mean anything?
15:10
Speaker 2: Does that mean Trump's going to listen to what Mars suggests?
15:13
Speaker 2: Probably not. It doesn't sound like the two of them
15:15
Speaker 2: are going to stop hurling some insults at each other
15:18
Speaker 2: publicly either, because Mar certainly did it on the show
15:23
Speaker 2: and he said, look, this doesn't make me maga. I'm
15:27
Speaker 2: not a Trump guy now, but I do have a
15:30
Speaker 2: bit more confidence in what's going on in the White House.
15:33
Speaker 2: I do feel like it's not as bad as I
15:36
Speaker 2: thought it was, because he's not the guy that we
15:39
Speaker 2: see on TV in the White House. He's not that
15:44
Speaker 2: guy all the time. There is this other side to
15:47
Speaker 2: him that seems to be the person that everybody was saying.
15:49
Speaker 1: That he was.
15:51
Speaker 2: It was a nice review. It was nice to hear
15:55
Speaker 2: someone talk candidly about this side of Trump, even at
15:59
Speaker 2: the risk of the beating that Mar has taken since
16:02
Speaker 2: because he has a lot of people have said, oh,
16:04
Speaker 2: he sold out, He's just doing this to keep his show.
16:08
Speaker 2: I think Keith Olberman, what was Keith Olberman last relevant
16:11
Speaker 2: good gracious. So anyway, that was his report. It's worth
16:17
Speaker 2: hearing the whole thing or just looking up the text
16:19
Speaker 2: of it to get his specific words about it. But yeah,
16:24
Speaker 2: it wasn't like he then decided his show was going
16:26
Speaker 2: to be a pro Trump show. He still was critical,
16:29
Speaker 2: but he said Trump told him that there were you know,
16:31
Speaker 2: they didn't agree on anything, and he said, actually, there's
16:34
Speaker 2: a lot of things we agree on, and Mar you know,
16:37
Speaker 2: rattled off those things. Maybe the best part of the
16:41
Speaker 2: whole thing was Mar had gotten someone on his staff
16:43
Speaker 2: to print out a list of all of the insults
16:45
Speaker 2: Trump has said about him over the years, and he
16:49
Speaker 2: took it in and showed it to Trump and he
16:50
Speaker 2: got him to sign it. It's a nice touch. Nice
16:53
Speaker 2: touch by both of those guys. I think today's show
16:55
Speaker 2: brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space
16:59
Speaker 2: Science Center in inspiring and educating the youth and future
17:04
Speaker 2: STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages.
17:09
Speaker 2: I mean, they do it for school age kids as
17:12
Speaker 2: school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center,
17:15
Speaker 2: but they also do it through their university programs where
17:18
Speaker 2: you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics and the careers in
17:24
Speaker 2: space and stem fields are booming right now, and you
17:27
Speaker 2: can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their
17:31
Speaker 2: website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out
17:38
Speaker 2: some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration
17:43
Speaker 2: that they do with the Schwob School of Music from
17:45
Speaker 2: Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike
17:49
Speaker 2: any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's
17:52
Speaker 2: one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
17:55
Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
17:59
Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
18:04
Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
18:08
Speaker 2: Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome.
18:12
Speaker 2: Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check
18:16
Speaker 2: out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up where you
18:19
Speaker 2: can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola
18:22
Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
18:26
Speaker 2: city lights you don't want any light interference, and you
18:28
Speaker 2: can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also
18:32
Speaker 2: on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan
18:36
Speaker 2: says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org. I just remind
18:40
Speaker 2: you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center
18:44
Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
18:48
Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
18:52
Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
18:58
Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
19:02
Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
19:05
Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
19:08
Speaker 2: square in that away for you, and while they're there,
19:11
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
19:13
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
19:16
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
19:20
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
19:22
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:25
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
19:28
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
19:32
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes
19:36
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
19:39
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
19:41
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
19:44
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
19:48
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
19:50
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
19:53
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid, you'd like to
19:55
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
19:57
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
20:00
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
20:03
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
20:05
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
20:08
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
20:12
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thory five eight forty five

20:18
Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com More West Carrol Morning Show right
20:22
Speaker 2: after the break, Well, if you have a kid who's
20:32
Speaker 2: a school age kid, even in college, you're probably familiar
20:36
Speaker 2: with the fact that kids are, or if you're teacher,
20:39
Speaker 2: kids are using AI to help them with their homework.
20:42
Speaker 2: It's just a reality, and there's different ways to do
20:46
Speaker 2: it and try to pull it off or not get caught.
20:50
Speaker 2: And I don't know, I guess teachers both sides AI
20:53
Speaker 2: helping the teachers is getting smarter. The AI helping the
20:56
Speaker 2: kids is getting smarter. But now apparently kids are also
21:00
Speaker 2: using AI to ditch school. They're getting AI to mimic
21:04
Speaker 2: their parents' voice. A recent Instagram reel went viral after
21:09
Speaker 2: writer Nathan Ramos Parks shared the story of a friend
21:13
Speaker 2: of a friend's thirteen year old girl who used AI
21:16
Speaker 2: to mimic her voice and call out of school. Parks
21:21
Speaker 2: says the girl even used the AI voice to trick
21:23
Speaker 2: her dad into thinking her mom had given her permission
21:26
Speaker 2: to go to a sleepover. Yikes. This kind of ties
21:31
Speaker 2: in to this warning that we've been getting from various
21:35
Speaker 2: law enforcement agencies. If you're getting a call from someone
21:39
Speaker 2: you know, a loved one, their voice telling you that
21:42
Speaker 2: they desperately need you to send them money, or that
21:46
Speaker 2: you know they've been kidnapped, or whatever it is, it
21:49
Speaker 2: could be AI. You need to verify all of those
21:53
Speaker 2: things before you start sending anybody money, especially if your
21:58
Speaker 2: voice is out in the post public a lot. I
22:03
Speaker 2: can think of at least one person talking to you
22:05
Speaker 2: right now who has that problem. But just know your
22:08
Speaker 2: kids may be using this for this as well, so
22:11
Speaker 2: and it's think anything when somebody's asking you for money
22:14
Speaker 2: or telling you somebody's been kidnapped, you know, not panicking
22:18
Speaker 2: and doing something right away. But when it comes to
22:21
Speaker 2: your kids and getting out of school, I don't know.
22:26
Speaker 2: I don't know what the solution is on this short
22:28
Speaker 2: of having a secret code word that you have to tell.
22:30
Speaker 2: You should have that, by the way, for the kidnapping problem,
22:33
Speaker 2: but you should maybe have a secret code word with
22:36
Speaker 2: the school if you find out your kids have been
22:37
Speaker 2: doing it, so you can say, look, if I call
22:39
Speaker 2: out my child, I'm going to give you this secret
22:43
Speaker 2: code word. I don't know. Kids right now mad at
22:45
Speaker 2: me for pointing that out, But there you go. After
22:48
Speaker 2: years and years of working in pajamas kitchen tables, America's
22:53
Speaker 2: heading back to the office this year, with many more
22:56
Speaker 2: companies forcing that. A new Newsweek survey found fifth seven
23:01
Speaker 2: percent of workers planning to return to the office full
23:03
Speaker 2: time this year. There's a generation divide, though twenty eight
23:07
Speaker 2: percent of gen Z prefers fully remote work, sixty three
23:10
Speaker 2: percent of boomers want to get back in the office
23:13
Speaker 2: full time. There's a gender divide to men more likely
23:16
Speaker 2: than women to want to return full time to the office.
23:20
Speaker 2: The key though, will be flexibility experts saying the best
23:22
Speaker 2: workplaces will be those that host flexible arrangements to keep
23:26
Speaker 2: everyone happy and productive. We talked about this yesterday because
23:30
Speaker 2: this dress code thing, people saying, hey, can we come
23:33
Speaker 2: in and just you know, wear sweats, right, Can we
23:38
Speaker 2: come in and just have a more casual and honestly,
23:42
Speaker 2: if you run a company and you run an office
23:44
Speaker 2: and there's not a lot of face to face for
23:47
Speaker 2: your employees, maybe you should because I understand you don't
23:50
Speaker 2: want it too sloppy, but maybe allowing some flexibilities with
23:54
Speaker 2: that will certainly help cushion things when it comes to
23:57
Speaker 2: people coming back into the office. This is that flex
24:00
Speaker 2: ability that they were talking about. So there you go,
24:04
Speaker 2: all right. Clever Real Estate sponsored a study to determine
24:08
Speaker 2: the one hundred best cities for pizza in the US.
24:12
Speaker 2: They consider the number of pizza restaurants per capita, the
24:15
Speaker 2: average price of pies in the area, the cities perceived
24:18
Speaker 2: pizza quality, and something called Clever's Pizza Passion score. A
24:24
Speaker 2: rundown of the top five cities when it comes to pizza, Rochester,
24:31
Speaker 2: New York was at the top, Philly, Boston, Detroit, and
24:34
Speaker 2: Buffalo Or tied for fourth place. Detroit and Buffalo tied
24:38
Speaker 2: for fourth place. The bottom five on their list, Wichita,
24:43
Speaker 2: Kansas was number one hundred, Stockton, California, McAllen, Texas, Augusta, Georgia, OUCH, Columbia,
24:49
Speaker 2: South Carolina. Ouch. So there you go. Not great pizza
24:53
Speaker 2: towns apparently. And finally, you've probably seen robot dogs being
24:58
Speaker 2: tested by police departments and other authorities just to prove
25:03
Speaker 2: that science can create something creepier. Japan's Kawasaki Heavy Industries
25:09
Speaker 2: Group has announced plans for a horse robot. The Corleo
25:14
Speaker 2: Robot as four legs for navigating uneven ground and has
25:17
Speaker 2: been pitched as the all terrain alternative to motorcycles. While
25:20
Speaker 2: the company is calling it a robot horse, its movement
25:23
Speaker 2: design are set to evoke agile animals like deer and panthers.
25:29
Speaker 2: Oh Caesar, you're like a gazelle.
25:33
Speaker 1: That'll do it.
25:34
