  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the Wes
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carroll Morning Show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, second day of October. I'm Wes. Thanks for
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: joining me. Friday is the day that we dive into
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: some strange and bizarre news from around the world. But first,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: of course, we dive into some positivity. Some good news,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: if you will. Something that will inspire you. And I
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: don't know, maybe give you something to actually get on your,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, some of these strange and bizarre stories you
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: probably want to look up. But in this case, you
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: may want to look these up just for something positive,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: some good news, something to feel good about. And we
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: began over in the UK across the pond, if you will,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: when a retired couple in England who has spent the
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: last 15 years fostering 59 rescue dogs in their home.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: and they have zero plans of stopping. Nicole and Gary
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Woodsworth take in pups from a local shelter whenever the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: dogs get too stressed or overwhelmed by kennel life. The
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: dogs end up staying anywhere from a couple of nights
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: to 18 months and come in all shapes and sizes,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: including everything from a cuddle-loving husky that does a happy
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: food dance to a giant American bulldog. Nicole and Gary
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: love helping the nervous pups relax. uncovering their unique personalities
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: to find their forever homes. While the dogs enjoy the stay,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Nicole and Gary get a lot out of the experience
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: as well. They say it's so rewarding, this is a quote,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to see them relax and find their little personality poking out.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: You're doing a good thing. This is from Gary. Of
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the aforementioned Nicole and Gary Wordsworth, Uh, and you get
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: to have a furry friend by your side. So it's
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: a win-win. Love it. What a great story. 59 dogs
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: probably have even passed that by now at the rate
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: that they've been adopting them. Uh, I say adopting, fostering them.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: So nice job for those two. And I know those
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: dogs appreciate it. And I know the people in the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: kennels appreciate it as well. So, uh, all right. How
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: about this? Uh, Jake laser. I don't follow this guy.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Maybe I should. He's a popular engineer on YouTube. Jay
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Laser Video is his company or his channel. And his
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: father was an avid marathon runner and found out that
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: he had multiple sclerosis and that confined him to a
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: manual wheelchair and Jake recently fulfilled a childhood promise to
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: his dad by turning a $ 100, 000 industrial robot dog into
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: a high-tech off-road wheelchair. This is to help his dad
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: get back into the great outdoors. Jake reprogrammed the four-legged
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: robot and mounted a custom illuminated racing seat on top.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Now equipped with motorized wheels on its feet, the bionic
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: leg chair glides down paved roads, steps over rocky riverbeds,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and climbs steep dirt hiking trails. During trial runs, Jake's
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: dad was beaming from ear to ear, declaring himself the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: king of the road as he conquered nature trails that
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: he hadn't been able to visit for the last 20 years. Uh,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and the images, uh, and the videos, uh, beaming is
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: exactly right. And you've seen these, these robots, these dog
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: robots that, uh, probably seen them. I mean, they, they're
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: kind of strange looking, uh, dog esque, but the fact
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: that he's been able to, yes, put this chair on
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: top of this thing. Uh, he's like, he man on
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: battle cat, you know, he's just riding this thing. Just
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: a fantastic story. And also, you know, if you're going
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to be an engineer and you're going to be on
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: social media, you want to be named Jake Lazor. Is
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: that really his name? I don't know. But I feel
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: like it's an appropriate name for what he's doing. Great work.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Great that he did that for his dad. Love stories
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: like that. All right. You didn't just come here for positivity.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: It's Friday. You came here for some strange and bizarre news.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: And we start with A story out of Florida. I
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: try to do that for you when I can, and
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I can do that. I actually got two Florida stories.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe I should flip a coin to decide which one
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: to start with. Let's go with this one. 76-year-old Florida
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: man arrested for DUI, but at the same time commended
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: by police for his honesty and cooperation during his arrest.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I thought this was a good one to start with
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: because it's a strange story. But it's also got some
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: positivity in it because you get that commendation from the police.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Charles Duckling. I added an L. It's Ducking. Charles Ducking
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: was pulled over. Duckling would have been a great name.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Pulled over after a deputy spotted him swerving on the road.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: He noticed Ducking smelled of alcohol and was slurring his speech.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: When he asked to provide his driver's license, Ducking told him,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I can't show you my driver's license because it's suspended
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: because of DUI. And I have been drinking a little
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: bit right now. And then he pulled out a thermos
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and said, this here is my rum I'm drinking. A
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: further search of the vehicle also turned up cocaine. Ducking
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: admitted he had done a line about 10 minutes before
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: he was pulled over. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: in a statement, while we appreciate Charles Ducking's cooperation during
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the traffic stop, The fact of the matter is, he
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: is lucky he hasn't yet killed someone or himself while
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: driving drunk and high on drugs. He has tempted fate
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: too many times, and he needs to make some serious
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: changes in his life before it's too late, ducking at
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: nine prior arrests that go back to 2001, including multiple
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: DUI convictions. So it's the positive that he came clean,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: but it's also like, what are you doing, man? Come on, Chuck.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: What are we doing? I wish his name was Duckling.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Also in Florida, a man facing DUI charges after his
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: own mother alerted police to YouTube videos she said showed
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: him intoxicated and making threats. She told police where to
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: find her son, and officers tracked down 37-year-old Thomas Leninger
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: in Vero Beach. They stopped him after seeing him make
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: an illegal U-turn. According to police, Linegar showed signs of
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: alcohol impairment and admitted to having a few shots. Well,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: here's another guy admitting it. And he struggled with field
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: sobriety tests. Officers said that he later told them he
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: had been taking shots all day long and breath tests
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: registered more than twice the legal limit. Linegar was arrested,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: charged with DUI, later pleaded no contest, was ordered to
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: pay a $ 1, 000 fine in court costs. Case also serves
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: as another example of how content posted online can attract
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: attention of both viewers and law enforcement, especially when your
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: mom is going to rat you out. And I'm not
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: knocking her for that because she may have saved lives,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: and that's good. You want to save lives, so. All right,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: let's go to Texas, where two customers are suing Popeyes
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: and its parent company for $ 1. 5 million, claiming they found
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: a condom-like object embedded in a piece of fried chicken
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: that they purchased at a Houston restaurant. According to the lawsuit,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: one customer bit into the chicken, discovered the object, and
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: both plaintiffs say they became nauseated and worried. that they
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: may have consumed contaminated food. The lawsuit alleges the couple
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: experienced emotional distress and says restaurant employees failed to adequately
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: address their concerns. Popeyes disputes the claim, saying an internal
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: review suggests the object was likely a restaurant glove that
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: accidentally fell into the batter. The chain says it refunded
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the customers and apologized while maintaining the incident does not
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: reflect its standards. The case will actually head through the
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Texas court system. A glove. I guess you could bite
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: into a piece of chicken with a glove in it
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: and go, this is a condom. But if you really investigate,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: it's going to be larger and different shaped. You know,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I don't want to get into all the specifics. I
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: don't want to get political here. I'm just pointing out
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: the fact that it's a different shape and size, and
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: it's very different in a number of different ways to
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: just kind of being a condom. So I think that
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: it should be easy to determine whether or not it's
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: a glove or a condom, you know. It's just like
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: if you were opening up a condom and then a
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: rubber glove came out, you probably wouldn't just go, well,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: this is just the way they make condoms now. I
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: would assume you would say, I think this is a
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: rubber glove. That's what I would think. An Amazon delivery
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: driver is in some trouble after he was caught on
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: security video allegedly turning a New York City apartment lobby
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: into his own personal restroom. The incident happened in August,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: and the tenant says that shoes, furniture, and other belongings
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: in the lobby were damaged and had to be thrown away.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: The tenant complained to Amazon and says that he was
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: offered a $ 50 gift card which he refused, calling it
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: an inadequate compensation. Amazon said the driver worked for an
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: independent delivery contractor, not directly for the company, and that
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: the individual is no longer delivering Amazon packages. The resident
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: is reportedly considering legal action and says the incident has
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: left him weary about future deliveries. Let me just say this,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: and again, I'm not a legal expert. I'm not even
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: a condom expert in case that wasn't clear from the
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: previous story. Okay. I'm not a rubber glove expert. I
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: just make observations. That's all I do. But I'm just
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: speaking from the perspective of somebody who just kind of
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: reading this story and thinking, okay, the guy didn't, whoever
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the delivery person was, let's say he, yeah, I guess he, if,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: you know, urinating around, Um, yeah, it said his, so
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: if they don't work for Amazon, but they are, you know,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: employed because of an Amazon delivery, like Amazon has done
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: sort of some sort of contract work with them. Right.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's, that's how I think this works. So
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I think there should be, shouldn't there be some accountability there?
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: from the folks at Amazon, just some bit of accountability
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: for whatever was done in the process of delivering.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: A Pokemon card collection got turned into evidence in a
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: drug case over in the UK when police say 26-year-old
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Jack Young Larder accepted Pokemon cards as payment for cocaine
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: and cannabis. even encouraging customers to steal sealed card packs
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: to settle their debts. During a raid, officers found drugs, cash, phones,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: and a valuable collection of trading cards. Investigators say that
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: text messages and videos on his phone helped build the case.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Young Larder was sentenced to three years and four months
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: in prison, and authorities have confiscated his card collection, which
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: won't be returned. A detective on the case noted that
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: the Pokemon cards may be fun collectibles, but using them
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: to trade for illegal drugs, that's no game, mister. That's
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: not exactly how he said it, but that's how I
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: imagine he said it, like, you know, except with a
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: British accent. That's no game, mister. Mister bloody guy or
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: whatever they say. I don't know. I think bloody is
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: a swear. It is a swear there. It's not here,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: you know. So I'm not offending, I mean, unless you're
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: British and listening, which some people, or Australian or part
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: of the Commonwealth maybe, and you hear me say bloody,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: you're like, I can't believe it. But, you know, it's
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: not here. We just say bloody and move on. We
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: don't really say it. Sometimes you just got to do
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: what you got to do unless it involves being naked
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: in a home goods store. Back in Florida. where a
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: man faces indecent exposure charges after police say he stripped
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: completely naked inside a home goods store in Cape Coral.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: According to authorities, 43-year-old Billy Thomas walked into the store,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: approached a shopper, apologized by saying, I'm sorry, I have
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: to do this, and removed his pants and exposed himself.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Police later found him in a nearby Aldi store. Thomas
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: reportedly told officers that his clothes and bicycle had started smoking,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: although officers said they never found a bicycle. Schaufer said
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: they were shocked and concerned, especially about children potentially witnessing
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: the incident. Police arrested Thomas, and records show he'd been
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: arrested dozens of times in Lee County since 2002. Did
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: he say what he did in the Aldi store? I just,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: you know, wanted to make sure. Was he still naked?
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I guess he was still naked. He went over there
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: while naked, apparently, so. Uh, yeah. Uh, you know, home
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: goods would seem like a, I mean, the exposing yourself
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: thing is not okay, but there are some stores that
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: are kind of just, uh, inviting. I mean, it says
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: a lot about the products. If you just kind of
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: feel comfortable there and you think, wow, this would be
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: a great place to just strip naked in, uh, the
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: exposing yourself to a customer. That's not, it's not good. That's, that's,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: that's where I crossed. That's where you crossed the line.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: If you're just going, boy, this bedding over here looks
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: comfortable and these pillows, uh, And I want to kind
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: of see what it would be like to just, you know,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I sleep in the nude, so let's strip down. I'm
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: not advocating for this, but I could just kind of
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: understand that maybe, you know, you just think this seems
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: like a good idea to test it out. Again, not
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: advocating for it. But this kind of shenanigans at Aldi,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: that's where I draw the lines. Well, if you're like
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: me and my family, you struggle probably to come up
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: with something different in the regular meal rotation every single day.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: We plan out our week. We try to figure out
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: what we're going to have for our meals in the evening.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: And we just struggle to put that list together every week. Well,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: let me offer this for you, something to add into
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: the rotation list. People often say, I like to eat
• 15:51

  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial...
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: or residential, maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: away for you. And while they're there, you can always
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: come help. And they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.

  Speaker 2: More West Carroll Morning Show right after the break. America's
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: oldest living person, Naomi Whitehead, just celebrated her 116th birthday.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Makes her the oldest known person in the U.S., the
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: second oldest person in the world, and the last living
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: American born in 1910. Her milestone is more than just impressive, though.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: It helps scientists learn what it takes to live an
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: exceptionally long life. New research suggesting that genetics may play
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: a much bigger role in longevity than previously thought, potentially
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: accounting for up to half of the differences in how
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: long people live. Researchers are studying supercentarians like Whitehead in
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: hopes of identifying genes linked to healthy aging, stronger immune systems,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: heart health, and protection against diseases like Alzheimer's. But experts
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: say that good genes aren't the whole story, that staying active,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: eating well, avoiding smoking, maintaining strong social connections, all may
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: help stack the odds in your favor. And since Whitehead
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: comes from a long-lived family, scientists are especially interested in
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: what her DNA could reveal about secrets to a longer life.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: So happy birthday, Naomi. I'm sorry, Ms. Whitehead. And yeah,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: here's to, you know, at least another, I don't want
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: to say another 116. That would be a lot, you know,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: but many more. How about that? We're getting closer to midterm.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: We're like a month, a little over a month away
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: from the actual midterm election day. And just know that
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: social media can get very frustrating in this time of year.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: And you could get to the outrage and anxiety and
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: politics and all that stuff. So there is an algorithm
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: that's in play, but you can actually retrain your algorithm.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: So here's a couple of things to think about when
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: it comes to this. So there's a reset that you
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: can use for this. And I didn't know that this
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: was a thing. I mean, I kind of knew that
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: there might be a behind the scenes. So on Instagram...
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: You can go to content preferences, hit reset suggested content,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: which wipes the recommendations and explore reels and suggested posts
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: without affecting your account or who you follow. TikTok similarly
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: has an option under settings and privacy, content preferences, refresh
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: your for you feed. All right. The other thing that
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: you can do is you stop the hate watching. The
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: algorithm doesn't care whether you love or hate a video. Basically,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: if you watch the whole thing, it assumes that you
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: like it and you want more. Hit not interested aggressively.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Every political rant, conspiracy theory, or argument thread you don't want,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: tell the app. Switch to feeds based on people that
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: you follow. Chronological feeds tend to feel less chaotic because
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: you're seeing friends, family, and accounts that you actually choose.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: basically retrain your feed by taking about a week of
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: watching dog videos, recipes, looking at travel discounts, basically feed
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: the algorithm what you want it to be, right? Or
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: whatever it is that you want from your social media.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: So basically it's not showing you everything. It's showing you
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: what you've taught it to show you. It's made suggestions.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: And you have kind of rolled with it in some way.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: So keep that in mind. Another thing is know that
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: in a couple of days, we're going to get to
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: that 30-day mark to the midterms, to election day, I
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: should call it. And basically, you can go in and
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: you can snooze people for 30 days. You can get
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: on the other side of the election before you see
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: anything else from those people because some people just can't
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: help themselves. That's all that they're going to talk about
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: for the next 30 days. So keep that in mind. Game,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: the video game Grand Theft Auto 6 is apparently going
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: to feature some stormy weather and lots of animals. There's
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: new details coming out about the game, which is due
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: in November. And they've revealed that it looks like the
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: game's going to feature some extreme weather events and ecosystems
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: with 170 animal species. Players will drive through tropical rainstorms,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: feel localized wind gusts, and watch water ripple in the bay.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: The map will also be packed with wildlife, including sharks, birds, gators,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: and rare legendary beasts to track down in the swamps.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: When I said feed, I was thinking that when I
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: saw sharks, birds, and gators, I mean, you could feed them.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Don't you think you could do that? And Voodoo Ranger
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: IPA launched a nationwide contest giving away free beer open
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: to anyone who can legally prove that their name is
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Michael Myers. This is a great first day of October story.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: The winners will receive the cash equivalent to a year's
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: supply of Voodoo Ranger beer along with a copy of
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: upcoming movie Halloween the Game. Over the next week, eligible
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: adults with the name Michael Myers can visit Voodoo Ranger's
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: website to enter with contest winners being revealed October 19th.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: And that's the, you know, birthday of Michael Myers from
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: the movies. You know, maybe you didn't know that. I'm
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: a big fan of those movies. I didn't know that.
• 26:56
