4:56
Speaker 2: Site Center on Front Avenue, c CSSC dot org to
4:59
Speaker 2: learn more about where they are. All Right, a few
5:02
Speaker 2: things we want to talk about. We're continue on with
5:03
Speaker 2: some of this not king stuff, but before we do that,
5:07
Speaker 2: I just thought it was an interesting thing that I
5:08
Speaker 2: saw and it's one of those news stories that you
5:12
Speaker 2: have to kind of break down based on, like there's
5:15
Speaker 2: two sides to this, and I'm just going to present
5:18
Speaker 2: you with the facts. You do with it as you please. Okay,
5:22
Speaker 2: but we know what happened with Jimmy Kimmel. Charlie Kirk
5:24
Speaker 2: gets killed, Jimmy Kimmel comes out, he's kind of nasty
5:27
Speaker 2: about it. He wasn't as I think aggressive about it,
5:31
Speaker 2: as many people kind of said he was. But you know,
5:35
Speaker 2: I have expressed many times since the Charlie Kirk murder,
5:39
Speaker 2: the assassination, and I have expressed this about the healthcare
5:44
Speaker 2: CEO assassination and murder and a few others, but specifically
5:50
Speaker 2: those two that became the ones that got really extra
5:53
Speaker 2: ugly with people celebrating and happy that human life was
5:57
Speaker 2: taken in the name of something that they disagree whether
6:00
Speaker 2: or their politics or whatever. And it's pretty sad. It's
6:03
Speaker 2: unbelievably sad. This is a this is a bad place
6:06
Speaker 2: that we've gotten to as a country, as a planet.
6:10
Speaker 2: It's just a bad place that we've gotten to that
6:13
Speaker 2: we don't believe in sanctity of life, and that starts
6:18
Speaker 2: with what we do with the unborn. I don't I
6:21
Speaker 2: have no problem saying that. I think once we start
6:23
Speaker 2: dismissing life and saying, you know this, this person who
6:29
Speaker 2: never had a chance, their life gets ended, and then
6:33
Speaker 2: we and people were celebrating that. When Roe v. Wade
6:36
Speaker 2: was still in place, there were people celebrating that ha ha,
6:39
Speaker 2: my fifth abortion was my favorite one. And those kinds
6:42
Speaker 2: of comments that we heard from celebrities and activists and things,
6:46
Speaker 2: and it's a horrible place to be, even if you
6:49
Speaker 2: think it's okay from a birth control standpoint, celebrating it
6:54
Speaker 2: and high fiving it is you know, that's the thing
6:57
Speaker 2: that leads to people going, we're gonna get Rovy Wade overturned,
7:00
Speaker 2: and then it happens, and then people are like but but,
7:04
Speaker 2: And the left put a lot on trying to make
7:08
Speaker 2: sure that that was the main issue for the last election,
7:12
Speaker 2: and it just wasn't the main issue for Americans. That
7:15
Speaker 2: wasn't the issue that they thought it was going to be,
7:18
Speaker 2: and it was going to be a woman president based
7:21
Speaker 2: on abortion rights and things are going to change, and
7:23
Speaker 2: it just didn't go the way they expected. But anyway,
7:28
Speaker 2: there's this whole issue with Jimmy Kimmel and what he said,
7:31
Speaker 2: and anything he said was anything short of this is
7:35
Speaker 2: a horrible tragedy. It should never happen again. And we
7:38
Speaker 2: have to stop talking about people and calling him fascist
7:40
Speaker 2: and nazis. Kimmel's not someone who's going to stop doing
7:42
Speaker 2: all that. I guess I don't know. I don't watch him.
7:45
Speaker 2: I haven't watched him for a very long time. I've
7:48
Speaker 2: found him funny at times, but it's nothing late night
7:53
Speaker 2: TV related. Has my interest at all. I have no
7:56
Speaker 2: interest in at all, and my phone's nearby. I want
7:58
Speaker 2: to make sure my phone hears me say that, just
8:00
Speaker 2: for the purposes of, you know, if it decides to start,
8:04
Speaker 2: you know, cramming content into my feed relating to any
8:09
Speaker 2: of those goons that are doing shows at night. So
8:12
Speaker 2: we know that Stephen Colbert has been canceled, but it's
8:16
Speaker 2: the delayed cancelation. He'll he'll finish things up in May.
8:19
Speaker 2: People said that Trump was there, the evil tyrant is
8:22
Speaker 2: what caused that to happen, when in reality, the show
8:26
Speaker 2: was bleeding money, losing forty million dollars a year. You're
8:29
Speaker 2: not there's not many jobs you can have and lose
8:31
Speaker 2: forty million dollars a year, and people just go, well,
8:34
Speaker 2: you know, we're going to keep paying you, and it's
8:37
Speaker 2: an expensive show to do, and they said, well, we
8:40
Speaker 2: can do this show for less, and that's what they did,
8:42
Speaker 2: and they tried to turn it into this he's a
8:44
Speaker 2: martyr and all these things. Same thing happened with Jimmy Kimmel.
8:48
Speaker 2: He ran his mouth about the Charlie Kirk assassination and
8:52
Speaker 2: didn't have to say anything, or he could have just said, hey,
8:55
Speaker 2: let's tone down the rhetoric. This is a horrible thing
8:57
Speaker 2: that happened, and he did a Jimmy Kimmel thing. Then
9:00
Speaker 2: he got out and he was canceled for a couple
9:03
Speaker 2: days or a week or whatever it was. I think
9:05
Speaker 2: it was a week. And that caused people to say, ah,
9:08
Speaker 2: there's Trump being a tyrant again, and he's you know,
9:10
Speaker 2: all these things. And then you know, the folks at
9:13
Speaker 2: Disney came out and said, no, it was us. We
9:16
Speaker 2: were worried about this, and they're kind of put themselves
9:21
Speaker 2: in a no win situation because when they put him
9:23
Speaker 2: back on a week later, it's now led to a
9:26
Speaker 2: number of cancelations for the Hulu and Disney Plus apps.
9:33
Speaker 2: And there's a few things too. This is when I
9:35
Speaker 2: say it's a complicated story. So they say normally four percent,
9:40
Speaker 2: it is like, I guess the drop off rate for
9:41
Speaker 2: them went up to eight percent, and they said they
9:45
Speaker 2: basically lost about three million subscribers. Hulu went up to
9:51
Speaker 2: ten percent. That's more than four million subscribers for that app. Now,
9:55
Speaker 2: the reason I say it's complicated is because they did
9:58
Speaker 2: have new sign ups in some ways saying that that
10:00
Speaker 2: offset that I don't know how that works, at least
10:03
Speaker 2: partially offset it. And then also because they've had some
10:07
Speaker 2: price hikes and things and they're getting ready to make
10:09
Speaker 2: some changes with Hulu and Disney Plus. But it's interesting
10:12
Speaker 2: that there was an actual financial aspect of this as
10:17
Speaker 2: well some pain that went with it. All right, I
10:20
Speaker 2: want to jump back to our topic this week has
10:22
Speaker 2: been the No Kings, and I think it's interesting that
10:26
Speaker 2: in the midst of all the No Kings, we've had
10:28
Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders, who is just that cockroach who won't go away,
10:33
Speaker 2: just that cockroach that you almost step on it. I mean,
10:35
Speaker 2: Hillary stepped on it once and then they just wouldn't
10:39
Speaker 2: let him have the nomination. They wanted to give it
10:42
Speaker 2: to her, and I think in some ways it did
10:44
Speaker 2: us a huge favor. But there's Bernie Sanders who just
10:48
Speaker 2: won't go away. But millionaire Bernie Sanders talking to everybody
10:53
Speaker 2: about rich people and how bad they are. And he's
10:56
Speaker 2: been whining and complaining about Elon Musk and all the
10:59
Speaker 2: bills that are for Trump. And I think he's just
11:03
Speaker 2: talking about Elon Musk. I don't know, but he says
11:06
Speaker 2: Republicans have all the money, and that's why they win
11:08
Speaker 2: all the elections. They've got the money, and they own
11:11
Speaker 2: the media. Now they've got the media, they have control
11:14
Speaker 2: of it. Because what if he's talking about ratings, and
11:18
Speaker 2: he's talking about like Fox and Newsmax. Sure the ratings
11:22
Speaker 2: are probably there, but you know, you've got all these
11:24
Speaker 2: other networks, and some of them are basically these networks
11:30
Speaker 2: that are supposed to be in the interest of the public,
11:33
Speaker 2: and they're supposed to be in the interest of the
11:34
Speaker 2: general public, and you know, they're voicing their opinions and
11:37
Speaker 2: doing things like they did with Jimmy Kimmel, and that's
11:39
Speaker 2: not good. But he basically is laying it down and
11:42
Speaker 2: he's saying that the whole situation with the millionaire, I
11:46
Speaker 2: mean the billionaires, he's not complaining about millionaires because he's there.
11:50
Speaker 2: He got there. He got there, man, this wealthy democratic socialist,
11:56
Speaker 2: which is such a weird thing, isn't it. I Mean,
12:00
Speaker 2: there's got to be something there, isn't there anyway. So
12:05
Speaker 2: it's just it's strange to find someone who's really a
12:07
Speaker 2: communist that's all about wealth for himself. But so he
12:11
Speaker 2: says Republicans have all the money, right, That's what it is.
12:14
Speaker 2: They have all the money, and they own the media,
12:17
Speaker 2: and they can do whatever they want to do and
12:20
Speaker 2: they're gonna have no problems with things. What I find
12:22
Speaker 2: interesting about this accusation about how Republicans now have all
12:26
Speaker 2: the money and they can buy the elections is we
12:29
Speaker 2: start getting to these NGOs that Elon Musk shut down.
12:33
Speaker 2: And I think if you follow the train of thought here,
12:36
Speaker 2: Elon Musk is a billionaire. Elon Musk is bad. He's
12:39
Speaker 2: helped the Republicans win. Republicans own the media, and they're
12:44
Speaker 2: never gonna they're buying the elections and they're never going
12:46
Speaker 2: to lose again. And there's been a lot revealed after
12:51
Speaker 2: the DOGE revelations. A lot has been revealed from the revelations.
12:56
Speaker 2: The revelations from the DOGE work is that, you know,
13:01
Speaker 2: the NGOs, we're doing a lot of work to support
13:04
Speaker 2: some of these places where the NGOs part of what
13:08
Speaker 2: was keeping the Colbear show at least propped up. I've
13:13
Speaker 2: seen people speculate that I don't know the facts on that.
13:16
Speaker 2: I know that there's a number of government agencies that
13:18
Speaker 2: people have said, well, they're out of money, because the
13:21
Speaker 2: NGOs aren't. They're not saying the injurines, so they're saying
13:24
Speaker 2: these you know, the Planned parenthoods they contributed, by the way,
13:28
Speaker 2: a lot of money to help make sure that the
13:31
Speaker 2: No Kings protest happen. And but the NGOs themselves, the
13:35
Speaker 2: non government organizations that have been doing a lot to
13:39
Speaker 2: prop up places and keep things funded, and then the
13:42
Speaker 2: funding has gone away and you're seeing some of these
13:45
Speaker 2: companies struggling. Now I'm wondering how Planned Parenthood has money
13:49
Speaker 2: to spend on, you know, putting these this event together
13:54
Speaker 2: with the No Kings protest. I don't know where they
13:56
Speaker 2: get their money from. If they're out of money, it
13:58
Speaker 2: would seem that they have something budgeted. Maybe they have
14:02
Speaker 2: a line item that they had to spend on protests
14:06
Speaker 2: and people that you know got out and didn't have
14:09
Speaker 2: anything to do over the weekend, so they got out
14:11
Speaker 2: and you know, in some places they got decent turnouts.
14:14
Speaker 2: In some places it was you know, twenty thirty people.
14:19
Speaker 2: But the NGOs in many cases, there's all this like
14:23
Speaker 2: it's government money that was being funneled around and helping
14:27
Speaker 2: to make these Democrat elections work. And that's what got
14:31
Speaker 2: revealed in some in I mean, I don't know how many,
14:35
Speaker 2: but in multiple cases they have found this. So the
14:39
Speaker 2: question becomes, is this what he's talking about? Is this
14:43
Speaker 2: what he's concerned about, because he's got you get the billionaires,
14:47
Speaker 2: and now they own the media, and they're going to
14:48
Speaker 2: buy all the elections and they have all the money
14:50
Speaker 2: and they're controlling everything. What are we talking about exactly?
14:54
Speaker 2: And again back to the question of if if you
15:00
Speaker 2: we're running big government, if you're using NGOs to help
15:04
Speaker 2: make sure Democrats want elections and help make sure that
15:07
Speaker 2: your influence in all of the media markets is there.
15:10
Speaker 2: Aren't you the king that you're protesting. Aren't you the one?
15:14
Speaker 2: I mean, a king wouldn't be saying, hey, let's go
15:18
Speaker 2: small government. Let's try to whittle things down to small government.
15:23
Speaker 2: And that's what Republicans are doing, and that's what as
15:26
Speaker 2: we're in this now, this whole government shutdown thing continues on.
15:31
Speaker 2: And I haven't talked a lot about that because it's politics.
15:35
Speaker 2: Play in politics, and it's silly to me when both
15:39
Speaker 2: sides accused the other of doing the same thing. Depending
15:41
Speaker 2: on who's in charge and who's able to be obstinate
15:44
Speaker 2: with it. But I've heard a number of people say,
15:47
Speaker 2: we know what the outcome is. It's just how much
15:49
Speaker 2: they're going to stretch out the pain and try to
15:51
Speaker 2: make Republicans look bad. That's what it seems like for Democrats.
15:56
Speaker 2: And Trump's approval rating has actually gone up. It's the shutdown,
16:01
Speaker 2: so Democrats that are trying to go after him, and
16:03
Speaker 2: I know they're saying, no, no, we're really going after Republicans.
16:06
Speaker 2: This is all about trying to set up things for
16:09
Speaker 2: the election next year and when we get to the midterms.
16:13
Speaker 2: But in reality, what's happening right now is they're trying
16:17
Speaker 2: to make American people suffer so that they will remember
16:20
Speaker 2: that suffering later and then they'll hopefully for them, that's
16:26
Speaker 2: what they think. They're going to remember the suffering, and
16:28
Speaker 2: then when they go to vote in the midterms, that
16:31
Speaker 2: means they're going to vote for Democrats. It's not unlike
16:35
Speaker 2: what we went through with the Roe v. Wade overturning.
16:41
Speaker 2: And then we had a number of people on the
16:44
Speaker 2: right saying, maybe there is a compromise on abortion, Maybe
16:48
Speaker 2: we could come up eight weeks, twelve weeks, whatever it is,
16:53
Speaker 2: maybe there's a figure that we could come up with
16:55
Speaker 2: and that would be the compromise, and we talked about
16:57
Speaker 2: that on the show. Some republic seemed willing to maybe
17:01
Speaker 2: come across the isle of Democrats, and Democrats said, then,
17:05
Speaker 2: even Kamala Harris before she was actually the candidate, no,
17:09
Speaker 2: we're not going to talk about this. We wanted to
17:11
Speaker 2: be back to Roe v. Wade, Law the Land and
17:15
Speaker 2: be able to have you know, abortions, you know, whenever
17:20
Speaker 2: the doctors see fit, which of course led to questions about, well,
17:24
Speaker 2: how late into the into the pregnancy do you think
17:28
Speaker 2: that abortions should be able to happen, and she said,
17:30
Speaker 2: we're not talking about that. We're going to talk about
17:32
Speaker 2: the fact that we needed to be law the Land.
17:34
Speaker 2: They bet everything on the fact that the American people
17:38
Speaker 2: were going to vote solely based on abortion. And there
17:42
Speaker 2: were people saying, but you got women that are dying
17:45
Speaker 2: left and right. There's just constant bodies of women that
17:48
Speaker 2: are dying because they're not getting their abortion care. And
17:53
Speaker 2: the question is if you could save those lives, if
17:57
Speaker 2: you could end that suffering, which, by the way, I
18:00
Speaker 2: don't know where all those stories are. There were a handful.
18:03
Speaker 2: I don't know where all those stories are. I don't
18:05
Speaker 2: know exactly how all that played out. But if you
18:08
Speaker 2: could end the suffering, and you could save women's lives
18:12
Speaker 2: by saying, hey, let's shake hands at twelve weeks, let's
18:15
Speaker 2: shake hands at fourteen weeks, whatever it is, whatever the
18:18
Speaker 2: number that both sides could say, this is where we're
18:21
Speaker 2: And there's many Republicans who weren't going to come to
18:23
Speaker 2: the table. There's many on the left who were not
18:26
Speaker 2: going to say anything short of you know, all the
18:30
Speaker 2: way up to the end week thirty nine, week forty,
18:34
Speaker 2: there's a couple that have expressed maybe not there's some
18:38
Speaker 2: who've expressed right up to forty okay, And there have
18:42
Speaker 2: some maybe not necessarily elected officials, but there are some
18:46
Speaker 2: who've expressed, you know, maybe as soon as the baby
18:49
Speaker 2: comes out. So there you go, this idea of a
18:55
Speaker 2: shutdown solely for the purposes of making people suffer so
18:58
Speaker 2: that maybe they'll later vote for them later. And it
19:01
Speaker 2: didn't work out in the presidential election, it didn't work
19:04
Speaker 2: out a year ago. I don't expect it to work
19:07
Speaker 2: out this time either. Today's show brought to you by
19:10
Speaker 2: Columbus State Universities COCA Cola Space Science Center inspiring and
19:15
Speaker 2: educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career
19:20
Speaker 2: holders that really of all ages. I mean they do
19:24
Speaker 2: it for school age kids as school age kids visit
19:27
Speaker 2: the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do
19:30
Speaker 2: it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
19:36
Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
19:40
Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
19:44
Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
19:51
Speaker 2: also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got
19:54
Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwobe School
19:58
Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
20:02
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
20:06
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
20:08
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
20:12
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
20:17
Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
20:21
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
20:25

20:39
Speaker 2: somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
20:42
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night
20:44
Speaker 2: events Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As
20:49
Speaker 2: Sean Crusan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I
20:54
Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
20:57
Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC org. Today's show brought to you by
21:02
Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
21:05
Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
21:11
Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
21:15
Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
21:18
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
21:22
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
21:25
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
21:27
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
21:30
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
21:34
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
21:36
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
21:39
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
21:42
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
21:46
Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
21:50
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
21:53
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
21:55
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
21:58
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage as a sort
22:02
Speaker 2: of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to
22:04
Speaker 2: work on your own cars in there, or maybe you
22:07
Speaker 2: just want a little man cavid you'd like to be
22:09
Speaker 2: able to open the door up and not invite all
22:11
Speaker 2: the insects in. They can do that for you as well,
22:14
Speaker 2: and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse
22:17
Speaker 2: than that thought of having your car trapped inside your
22:20
Speaker 2: garage and your garage door won't open and you need
22:22
Speaker 2: somebody to come help. And they do those as well.

22:33
Speaker 2: dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break, well,
22:45
Speaker 2: how much wine do you think is a good amount
22:48
Speaker 2: for you? A glass a day? How about a few
22:51
Speaker 2: drinks a week. According to new research published by BMJ
22:56
Speaker 2: Evidence Based Medicine, the answer is actually on. The research
23:01
Speaker 2: found that even like drinking just one to three drinks
23:04
Speaker 2: a week was linked to a fifteen percent higher risk
23:06
Speaker 2: of developing dementia. Ye, and the more people drink, the
23:12
Speaker 2: higher that risk climbed Doctor Randall Turner, a psychiatrist and
23:17
Speaker 2: addiction specialist, as the main takeaway from the study is
23:20
Speaker 2: that there's no evidence at all that any amount of
23:23
Speaker 2: alcohol is good for the brain. In fact, quite the opposite.
23:27
Speaker 2: He adds that finding a link between booze and dementia
23:30
Speaker 2: could be a game changer in how we understand alcohol
23:34
Speaker 2: and aging. So information like this, I don't know that
23:40
Speaker 2: it's going to slow people down. The links between dopamine
23:44
Speaker 2: schizophrenia or bipolar tendencies has not really had an impact
23:50
Speaker 2: on the increased use of recreational marijuana. So I'm just saying,
23:54
Speaker 2: I don't know that this is really gonna make a
23:56
Speaker 2: big difference. I'm just saying that, you know, yeah, how
24:04
Speaker 2: about this. A new content or a content creator named
24:08
Speaker 2: logan Ivy has come up with maybe a new This
24:11
Speaker 2: is where the new comes in a creative way to
24:13
Speaker 2: fight phone addictions. He did a three D printed six
24:16
Speaker 2: pounds stainless steel phone case. Six pounds, so the idea
24:22
Speaker 2: is that make your phone so heavy that you physically
24:25
Speaker 2: don't want to hold it for long. This started when
24:29
Speaker 2: he taped a five pound dumbell to his phone to
24:32
Speaker 2: see if it would help him scroll less, and he
24:34
Speaker 2: says it kind of worked, but it blocked the camera
24:37
Speaker 2: and that was really easy to remove, so he went
24:40
Speaker 2: all in. He spent two months designing a bulky case
24:44
Speaker 2: that looks like an old school eighties brick phone Zach
24:46
Speaker 2: Morris style. I guess. It even requires an Allen wrench
24:50
Speaker 2: to take it off, so there's no easy escape. The
24:52
Speaker 2: result his screen time dropped by three hours a day.
24:57
Speaker 2: He says the weight makes it inconvenient to carry it,
25:00
Speaker 2: especially to places like the bathroom or on walks, which
25:04
Speaker 2: naturally cuts down on uses. And then he turns out
25:09
Speaker 2: he was right. In an Instagram reel, he explains that
25:12
Speaker 2: the case was meant to make the phone feel more
25:14
Speaker 2: like a tool like your laptop or your camera, rather
25:18
Speaker 2: than something that you instinctively pick up and you look
25:20
Speaker 2: at for hours at a time. He says that He
25:23
Speaker 2: designed the case to look like an eighties phone because
25:26
Speaker 2: back in the eighties phones were just tools and not
25:30
Speaker 2: addicting fake dopamine machines. Back to dopamine, He says he's
25:35
Speaker 2: got a Kickstarter to sell the cases for those that
25:38
Speaker 2: are interested in It's kind of there you go. We're
25:42
Speaker 2: a little bit closer to Halloween. So what's creepier than
25:45
Speaker 2: a creepy doll? A bunch of them. The History Center
25:49
Speaker 2: of Almsted County in Rochester, Minnesota has opened its vaults
25:54
Speaker 2: to a haunting collection called Creepy Dolls Loose in the
25:58
Speaker 2: Vaults and exactly what it sounds like. A showcase of
26:02
Speaker 2: creepy dolls that look like they've stepped straight out of
26:05
Speaker 2: a horror movie. Chris Delile, the museums exhibit and event coordinator,
26:10
Speaker 2: says the idea is that the dolls are let loosen
26:13
Speaker 2: the vaults they curate to show themselves picking up objects
26:18
Speaker 2: they relate to the most. Each doll in the collection
26:21
Speaker 2: was donated by someone in the local community, and they
26:24
Speaker 2: all come with their own unique backstory and they also
26:29
Speaker 2: sounds like a terrifying thing I would never want to
26:32
Speaker 2: go to. Black cats are beautiful, but even the least
26:36
Speaker 2: superstitious people can't help but feel a little spooked out
26:38
Speaker 2: by seeing one, especially if it crosses your path, and
26:43
Speaker 2: that is why they've become a big part of the
26:45
Speaker 2: scariest night of the year. But local officials in Terasa, Spain,
26:52
Speaker 2: are taking steps to protect black cats around Halloween by
26:55
Speaker 2: banning adoptions from October first to November tenth. The concern
27:01
Speaker 2: that officials have is that people may adopt them just
27:04
Speaker 2: to use them at Halloween rituals or as disposable props.
27:07
Speaker 2: Town officials noted a spike in interest in adopting black
27:11
Speaker 2: cats during October, raising fears that some adoptions are impulsive
27:15
Speaker 2: or tied to occult themed celebrations. I think rememb're talking
27:19
Speaker 2: about this when I was a kid, right. The town's
27:22
Speaker 2: animal welfare service said that exceptions to the band may
27:26
Speaker 2: be made if the adoption is justified and carefully assessed. Well,
27:31
Speaker 2: that's good, you know, for the kiddie cats. You got
27:34
Speaker 2: to take care of them. How many times do you
27:36
Speaker 2: touch your face today? You probably do it a lot
27:38
Speaker 2: more than you think. A new study from the University
27:41
Speaker 2: of Houston and Virginia Tech found that we touch our
27:43
Speaker 2: faces up to eight hundred times a day, mostly without
27:46
Speaker 2: realizing it, and those touches, especially to the chin, cheeks,
27:49
Speaker 2: and nose, can actually signal rising stress levels. Researchers found
27:54
Speaker 2: that when people were doing mentally demanding tasks like reading
27:58
Speaker 2: or writing, they tended to touch the we're part of the
28:00
Speaker 2: face more often. And the touches weren't just fidgeting. They
28:03
Speaker 2: were linked to psychological stress responses and it can be
28:09
Speaker 2: gross depending on where those hands have been and if
28:11
Speaker 2: you're not thinking about it. That'll do it for this
28:14
Speaker 2: Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons.
