Speaker 2: the cast. You know there'll be some time hanging out
3:23
Speaker 2: with me. If you're one of those first act people,
3:26
Speaker 2: maybe you won't see me so much. If you're one
3:28
Speaker 2: of those second act people, you probably see me from
3:31
Speaker 2: time to time. I mean I am around during the
3:34
Speaker 2: first act often getting makeup or getting wardrobe and all
3:38
Speaker 2: those sorts of things. But you know, I got to

Speaker 2: look my best. That's what you gotta do. Second act

3:52

Speaker 2: the house and I don't apologize for it.
3:58
Speaker 3: That's what we do. Join us tomorrow.
4:01
Speaker 2: It's happening at the ranking at the Columbus Ballet. Be
4:06
Speaker 2: a part of the show. It's Friday, and that means
4:10
Speaker 2: we need to get into some strange and bizarre news
4:12
Speaker 2: from all around the world. We will start with this
4:17
Speaker 2: story from Texas. A man unleashed the fury of his
4:20
Speaker 2: neighbors after going for a walk with his dog. That's normal,
4:24
Speaker 2: people like to go walk their dogs. I don't see
4:26
Speaker 2: any problem with that.
4:28
Speaker 3: Oh, he was naked.
4:30
Speaker 2: The man who likes to just walk around in San
4:34
Speaker 2: Antonio was detained after a number of his neighbors called
4:38
Speaker 2: nine win one to report the problem. Authority say that
4:41
Speaker 2: he was high on mushrooms and they gave him a
4:44
Speaker 2: courtesy ride home. One of the locals who reported the
4:48
Speaker 2: man who was naked walking his dog laughed off the
4:51
Speaker 2: whole situation and said, how dare he walk his dog
4:54
Speaker 2: without a leash? That's the kind of neighbor you want,
4:58
Speaker 2: somebody that's got a sense. We're not the naked guy.
5:01
Speaker 2: You want the one who lived in the neighborhood, who
5:05
Speaker 2: had the sense of humor about it. That's what you
5:07
Speaker 2: want in a neighbor. Yeah, you gotta be careful with
5:12
Speaker 2: I'm allergic just to normal mushrooms that people eat. I
5:16
Speaker 2: assume I would be allergic to this kind of I'm
5:18
Speaker 2: definitely allergic to this this guy's allergic to this kind
5:21
Speaker 2: of mushrooms. A Chicago woman found out that All you
5:25
Speaker 2: Can Eat has its limits after getting arrested for sharing
5:30
Speaker 2: her unlimited appetizer. Shawnisha Cobbs and some friends were seated
5:36
Speaker 2: at an Applebee's when she ordered the all you can
5:38
Speaker 2: eat appetizer, which includes double crunch shrimp tender riblets, boneless
5:43
Speaker 2: buffalo wings, all for just fifteen ninety nine. That's not
5:48
Speaker 2: bad unlimited, it depends on how much you can eat.
5:51
Speaker 2: Cobbs thought, oh, it's a better deal if I could
5:54
Speaker 2: split the dish with everyone at the table. And the
5:56
Speaker 2: scam worked for a few servings, and the waitress put
5:59
Speaker 2: an end to it by point out the fine print
6:00
Speaker 2: on the menu, which reads one person only. Cobbs got
6:04
Speaker 2: angry and began shouting at the server and other customers,
6:07
Speaker 2: even putting her hand over the mouth of another diner
6:10
Speaker 2: when that person started shouting back. After being warned of
6:13
Speaker 2: potential arrest for disorderly conduct, Cobbs continued to be disruptive
6:19
Speaker 2: and was put in handcuffs and taken away in a
6:22
Speaker 2: police car. I hope she got her fill of the
6:28
Speaker 2: unlimited app I know she was sharing them, but I
6:30
Speaker 2: hope she at least got her fill before she started
6:33
Speaker 2: sharing them with I mean, I know they say, like
6:35
Speaker 2: on an airplane, make sure that you take care of
6:38
Speaker 2: yourself first, put the oxygen mask on you before putting
6:43
Speaker 2: on others. And I think that rule would apply if
6:45
Speaker 2: you're trying to, you know, sneak, share your unlimited.
6:50
Speaker 3: Appetizer with other people.
6:52
Speaker 2: She might have gotten away with it if not for
6:54
Speaker 2: the fact that it was the double crunch shrimp. I mean,
6:57
Speaker 2: that's probably what got them suspect. You know, can't be
7:02
Speaker 2: going with them high end foods.
7:04
Speaker 3: You can't do that.
7:06
Speaker 2: Nearly twelve thousand homes in Newport News, Virginia, were plunged
7:10
Speaker 2: into darkness over the weekend after power was knocked out
7:14
Speaker 2: by a snake. Officials with Dominion Energy said the power
7:17
Speaker 2: was suddenly cut Saturday night and crews were dispatched to
7:20
Speaker 2: find the calls. That's when workers discovered that a snake
7:24
Speaker 2: had slithered into a high voltage area and came in
7:27
Speaker 2: contact with a transformer. Not Optimus Prime, not Megatron, It's
7:31
Speaker 2: a different kind of transformer. They were unable to identify
7:35
Speaker 2: the type of snake. I mean, roasted is that the
7:39
Speaker 2: type of snake deep fried. Perhaps it's stunk. I'm sure
7:45
Speaker 2: whatever kind of snake it was. Power remained cut for
7:48
Speaker 2: about an hour and a half before it was finally restored.
7:51
Speaker 2: So when a snake gets electrocuted, does it still move
7:57
Speaker 2: around like it does when the head gets cut off.
7:58
Speaker 2: I don't know how that works exactly. Hope to never
8:02
Speaker 2: find out, honestly. A Texas man is under arrest after
8:05
Speaker 2: cops searched his car and found he had hidden drugs
8:08
Speaker 2: inside plush toys from BUCkies.
8:10
Speaker 3: Uh Oh.
8:12
Speaker 2: Cobs conducted a routine traffic stop smelled marijuana coming from
8:15
Speaker 2: inside the car. The forty seven year old driver said
8:18
Speaker 2: he had no drugs on him and gave officers permission
8:21
Speaker 2: to search the vehicle. He looked in the back seat
8:24
Speaker 2: saw several stuffed beavers from BUCkies plush toys had an
8:29
Speaker 2: unusual stitching on them. An officers soon discovered there were
8:32
Speaker 2: bags of marijuana and ecstasy inside. At that point, the
8:36
Speaker 2: driver started complaining of chest pains and was transported to
8:39
Speaker 2: the hospital. The drugs were seized and the driver was
8:43
Speaker 2: later arrested. They got everything at BUCkies. But I'm pretty
8:48
Speaker 2: sure it's safe to say they do not sell the
8:53
Speaker 2: BUCkies beavers stuffed with drugs. This had to be created
8:57
Speaker 2: by this guy at home. I'm just saying, it seems
9:00
Speaker 2: like they've got just about everything at BUCkies. I'm like
9:05
Speaker 2: ninety nine point nine percent sure. I'm one hundred percent
9:12
Speaker 2: sure they didn't sell it at BUCkies that that's not
9:14
Speaker 2: something that they sell. Now, if you want to go
9:16
Speaker 2: get a like a thong that has like that beaver
9:19
Speaker 2: on it, you could probably find that. You know, if
9:23
Speaker 2: you want to get like a red flip flop and
9:25
Speaker 2: a blue flip flop with that beaver on it, you
9:27
Speaker 2: probably can. You know, a surfboard, sure they probably have that.
9:33
Speaker 2: A banana pudding. I've had it. I've had I'm not
9:35
Speaker 2: ashamed to admit I'm a little ashamed. I've had banana
9:38
Speaker 2: putting at BUCkies. I paid way too much for it.
9:41
Speaker 2: It was okay, it wasn't bad, certainly wasn't.
9:43
Speaker 3: It was actually not bad at all.
9:46
Speaker 2: Definitely not as good as the price, but it was good.
9:50
Speaker 3: But that's what you do when you stop at BUCkies.
9:52
Speaker 2: You splurge on things that maybe you wouldn't buy.
9:54
Speaker 3: In other places.
9:55
Speaker 2: Definitely not drugs, though it overworked. An exhausted Chinese woman
10:00
Speaker 2: sided at the age of thirty eight. She desperately needed
10:02
Speaker 2: to slow down and enjoy a more RESTful life, so
10:04
Speaker 2: she packed up her belongings and moved to a retirement home.
10:08
Speaker 2: The woman known only as Miss Yang worked as a
10:12
Speaker 2: screenwriter in the film and TV industry for eleven years.
10:16
Speaker 2: The amount of work and her hectic schedule really took
10:20
Speaker 2: a toll on her mentally and physically, so she decided
10:23
Speaker 2: to slow things down, take it easy. She's a little
10:25
Speaker 2: research into homes where she could relax and recuperate. Stumbled
10:28
Speaker 2: into a retirement home which promised to provide.
10:31
Speaker 3: Everything she needed.
10:33
Speaker 2: Miss Yang says that she loved how the facility is quiet, relaxed,
10:38
Speaker 2: offers medical treatments and all of her meals. She says
10:40
Speaker 2: she gets to spend the day reading books, writing novels,
10:44
Speaker 2: and authoring memoirs of other residents who were all at
10:47
Speaker 2: least twice her age. She goes to bed every night
10:50
Speaker 2: at nine o'clock. Miss Yang has lived there for three
10:52
Speaker 2: months and it considers it to be a temporary home,
10:55
Speaker 2: although she hasn't decided when she'll leave. I don't know
10:57
Speaker 2: how this works. This is very intriguing to me. How
11:01
Speaker 2: is she just allowed to be there? I don't get it.
11:04
Speaker 3: How can she just.
11:05
Speaker 2: Live in a nursing home and she's thirty eight? I
11:09
Speaker 2: don't understand. I mean, good for her. I guess is
11:12
Speaker 2: this one of those like only in China? I don't know.
11:16
Speaker 2: Police and the Czech Republic are on the hunt for
11:18
Speaker 2: an escape kangaroo that broke free from a prison, and
11:23
Speaker 2: you're probably now wondering what I'm wondering. Why was a
11:26
Speaker 2: kangaroo locked up in prison? Officials at the prison located
11:29
Speaker 2: outside Prague say two kangaroos actually broke out of the
11:32
Speaker 2: facility on Saturday, and one of them returned. The other
11:36
Speaker 2: remains at large, and the public is being urged to
11:38
Speaker 2: contact authorities if they see the kangaroo and don't approach it.
11:44
Speaker 2: The animal could be aggressive. Maybe that's why it's in prison.
11:48
Speaker 2: Aggressive kangaroos, you know, they's a serious business. Gotta be careful.
11:53
Speaker 2: Remember the guy that fought the kangaroo that was holding
11:55
Speaker 2: his dog. Remember that video That thing went viral. That
11:58
Speaker 2: kangaroo's serious Kangaroos were housed at the prison not for
12:02
Speaker 2: committing crimes, but for providing therapy for some of the inmates.
12:07
Speaker 2: Prison has a program which the inmates near the end
12:10
Speaker 2: of their terms can learn skills in farming an animal
12:13
Speaker 2: husbandry as a form of therapy. Animal husbandry with kangaroos.
12:20
Speaker 3: That seems a little weird.
12:22
Speaker 2: Maybe that's why they're telling everybody to stay away from
12:24
Speaker 2: the kangaroos. They don't want to know about all the
12:26
Speaker 2: animal husbandry, you know.
12:30
Speaker 3: I'm just saying.
12:31
Speaker 2: Could be If an Illinois woman arrested for driving while
12:35
Speaker 2: under the influence wanted to show police that she wasn't drunk, expected.
12:38
Speaker 3: An unusual way to do it.
12:39
Speaker 2: Thirty five year old Mallory Griffin was pulled over by
12:42
Speaker 2: police in Wisconsin. Ordered to stay put, she ignored their
12:45
Speaker 2: comments and took off. She eventually came up to more
12:49
Speaker 2: officers who were waiting for her, and finally stopped. She
12:52
Speaker 2: was placed under rest on suspicion of driving under the influence.
12:55
Speaker 2: While she was being booked at the police station, she
12:57
Speaker 2: left at officers and denied being drunk, but as an
13:00
Speaker 2: officer was questioning her, Griffin proceeded to pull down her
13:03
Speaker 2: pants and then show off some yoga poses, even asking
13:08
Speaker 2: can you do what I can do? Can you do
13:10
Speaker 2: this and you're a cop and I haven't worked out
13:13
Speaker 2: in three years? Based on her behavior, police determined that
13:16
Speaker 2: she had to be under the influence of something. In
13:18
Speaker 2: charge to with operating while intoxicated, resisting arrest, speeding, driving
13:23
Speaker 2: an unregistered vehicle. No charges for the naked downward dog,
13:28
Speaker 2: don't I don't that seems like it's like that should
13:30
Speaker 2: be a charge. Shouldn't it is that legal? Can you
13:32
Speaker 2: just strip naked and do yoga? I'm not necessarily against
13:36
Speaker 2: it in all circumstances, most I would think, at least
13:40
Speaker 2: in the police station, although at the police station maybe
13:43
Speaker 2: that's just something. Maybe it was helpful as they were
13:45
Speaker 2: arresting her is or they have to do a check,
13:48
Speaker 2: they throw you down with lie like in Shawshank. I
13:50
Speaker 2: don't know how that what they do exactly, but hey.
13:54
Speaker 2: A Texas man was arrested and accused of booby trapping
13:57
Speaker 2: toilets in local businesses with pressure activated fireworks. Place in
14:03
Speaker 2: San Antonio, say, forty six year old Paul Moses Alden
14:07
Speaker 2: rigged the toilets with fireworks that would explode when someone
14:10
Speaker 2: sat on it and cause minor injuries. Many of the
14:13
Speaker 2: businesses targeted were car washes, including some where he was
14:17
Speaker 2: a regular customer. In fact, employees were able to quickly
14:20
Speaker 2: identify him from the surveillance footage and from his membership card.
14:25
Speaker 2: Alt in charge with arson causing reckless damage and bottling
14:28
Speaker 2: injury and is out of jail on a fifty thousand
14:31
Speaker 2: dollars bond. So, uh, moral of the story is, you know,
14:37
Speaker 2: check the toilet. Check the toilet before you go if
14:40
Speaker 2: you're going to be uh, you know, a car wash,
14:44
Speaker 2: using the bathroom. I know this water, there's things, you know,
14:47
Speaker 2: you know, sloshing around. Maybe you get the urge to
14:50
Speaker 2: go to the bathroom. I mean, I don't know, but
14:53
Speaker 2: you just want to have just a peripheral just look around,
14:56
Speaker 2: make sure that nothing's going to explode when.
14:59
Speaker 3: You take a seat.
15:00
Speaker 2: An Oregon woman siphoning gasoline from a U haul truck
15:03
Speaker 2: into her own van uh decided to smoke a cigarette
15:09
Speaker 2: while she was doing it. Police say forty seven year
15:11
Speaker 2: old Jennifer Holmes drove a delivery van for a local bakery,
15:14
Speaker 2: pulled up to a parking lot, where she proceeded to
15:17
Speaker 2: siphon gasoline from a truck into her vehicle and in
15:20
Speaker 2: the midst of doing it, she lit up a smoke
15:24
Speaker 2: and it set two U haul trucks on fire. Holmes
15:27
Speaker 2: got into her van and drove home.
15:28
Speaker 3: I mean, what else are you gonna do?
15:30
Speaker 2: Call the police, Call the fire department, call the folks
15:34
Speaker 2: at U Haul. Days later, investigators reviewed surveillance camera footage
15:38
Speaker 2: in the area and saw the bakery van at the
15:40
Speaker 2: location right before the fire broke out. Police located homes
15:43
Speaker 2: at a farmer's market and she admitted to siphoning gas
15:45
Speaker 2: and smoking a cigarette at the same time. She was
15:49
Speaker 2: arrested in charge with first degree criminal mischief and reckless burning.
15:52
Speaker 2: I don't know that was the thing. Reckless burning. I mean,
15:58
Speaker 2: can you have a wreck full burning? Is there a
16:00
Speaker 2: burning that you can do that is okay? Reckless burning?
16:05
Speaker 2: That seems pretty severe. And finally, a New York man
16:09
Speaker 2: is suing the city's Museum of ice Cream after he
16:11
Speaker 2: broke his ankle diving into the sprinkle Pool. Museum, which
16:16
Speaker 2: is essentially a fantasy land for ice cream lovers and
16:20
Speaker 2: anyone looking for instagram worthy photos, features ice cream themed installations,
16:25
Speaker 2: free ice cream, and an opportunity to dive into the
16:27
Speaker 2: sprinkle Pool, a ballpit like pool of oversized plastic sprinkles.
16:34
Speaker 2: Jeremy Shore visited the museum with his daughter last year
16:36
Speaker 2: took an opportunity to jump in the sprinkles, but he
16:39
Speaker 2: broke his ankle, and he's now suing the museum for
16:41
Speaker 2: causing severe and permanent personal injury. Sure argues the museum
16:45
Speaker 2: created the reasonable but false expectation that the sprinkle pool
16:50
Speaker 2: is fit and safe for that activity. He is seeking
16:55
Speaker 2: unspecified damages. I mean, if they encourage you to jump
16:59
Speaker 2: in it and that's part of the fun, and then
17:02
Speaker 2: you jump in and get injured, I'm just saying, I
17:06
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know all the specifics of this,
17:08
Speaker 2: but it seems mighty suspicious to me. If they tell
17:10
Speaker 2: you to jump in and then you jump in and
17:12
Speaker 2: then you break your ankle. I mean, who's really at
17:14
Speaker 2: fault here? Sounds to me like maybe the behavior was encouraged.
17:20
Speaker 2: But I don't have any more details than what I've
17:22
Speaker 2: already shared with you. Today's show brought to you by
17:24
Speaker 2: Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring and
17:29
Speaker 2: educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career
17:35
Speaker 2: holders that really of all ages, I mean they do
17:38
Speaker 2: it for school age kids as school age kids visit
17:42
Speaker 2: the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do
17:44
Speaker 2: it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
17:50
Speaker 2: and the careers in space and stem fields are booming
17:55
Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
17:58
Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
18:05
Speaker 2: also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got
18:08
Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School
18:13
Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
18:16
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
18:21
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
18:23
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
18:27
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
18:32
Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
18:36
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
18:39
Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows
18:44
Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
18:47
Speaker 2: Where you can get outside, sometimes you do it at
18:50
Speaker 2: the co Cola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside
18:53
Speaker 2: somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
18:56
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events.
19:00
Speaker 2: So on their website it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean
19:04
Speaker 2: Crusan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just
19:08
Speaker 2: remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science
19:12
Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
19:16
Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
19:20
Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
19:26
Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
19:29
Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
19:33
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
19:36
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
19:39
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
19:41
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
19:45
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
19:48
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
19:50
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:53
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
19:57
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
20:00
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder, warmer weather, sometimes that
20:04
Speaker 2: stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at
20:07
Speaker 2: a situation where you'd like to add a screen door
20:10
Speaker 2: to your garage door system that you can put down
20:13
Speaker 2: and you can use your garage space as a sort
20:16
Speaker 2: of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to
20:19
Speaker 2: work on your own cars in there, or maybe you
20:21
Speaker 2: just want a little man caved, you'd like to be
20:23
Speaker 2: able to open the door up and not invite all
20:25
Speaker 2: the insects in. They can do that for you as well,
20:29
Speaker 2: and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse
20:32
Speaker 2: than that thought of having your car trapped inside your
20:34
Speaker 2: garage and your garage door won't open and you need
20:37
Speaker 2: somebody to come help, and they do those as well.
20:41
Speaker 2: Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred, seven oh
20:43
Speaker 2: six three five eight forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot
20:48
Speaker 2: com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break,
20:59
Speaker 2: the company called American Rounds has created vending machines that
21:06
Speaker 2: dispense rounds of live ammunition, and they're already in place
21:10
Speaker 2: in ten grocery stores in Alabama, Oklahoma, and Texas. The
21:15
Speaker 2: machines that are apparently state of the art high tech
21:18
Speaker 2: vending machines are equipped with ID reader and facial recognition,
21:22
Speaker 2: and only except credit cards, buyers must be at least
21:25
Speaker 2: twenty one. If the machine verifies their ID, they'll be
21:27
Speaker 2: able to purchase an assortment of twelve gage shotgun shells
21:32
Speaker 2: and nine millimeters rounds. The company insists of the vending
21:35
Speaker 2: machines are a more secure way to purchase AMMO, while critics,
21:39
Speaker 2: of course argue that it makes it easier for people
21:43
Speaker 2: to buy bullets. I don't know that the bullets part
21:46
Speaker 2: is the complicated part of the gun buy. You know,
21:50
Speaker 2: that seems like that should be one of the easier
21:53
Speaker 2: things to do. But the fact that there's an ID involved,
21:57
Speaker 2: the fact that you have to use a credit card,
22:00
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, I'm not saying it's a great idea.
22:04
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it sounds like something that you have in.
22:07
Speaker 3: The free market, right.
22:09
Speaker 2: According to some medical experts, walking barefoot can be good
22:12
Speaker 2: for your feet.
22:13
Speaker 3: It's not great for people who don't like to look
22:15
Speaker 3: at feet.
22:15
Speaker 2: Studies show that going barefoot and wearing minimalist footwear can
22:19
Speaker 2: help with foot strength, muscle size, balance and the way
22:23
Speaker 2: your limbs swing when you move around. There's even evidence
22:26
Speaker 2: that barefoot walkers have a reduced risk of falling.
22:30
Speaker 3: But beware, if you're interested in.
22:31
Speaker 2: Leaving behind your old shoes and starting a barefoot lifestyle,
22:34
Speaker 2: you have to take it slow. They say, switching too
22:36
Speaker 2: quickly can be a recipe for injury. Give your body
22:40
Speaker 2: time to adapt and grow, or just don't. I don't
22:44
Speaker 2: know that we need to be walking around bear? Is
22:46
Speaker 2: that a good idea?
22:48
Speaker 3: People?
22:48
Speaker 2: Just wat I know, they make the shoes that look
22:51
Speaker 2: like feet. It's almost like a glove for your foot,
22:55
Speaker 2: and that's a shoe. Maybe start with that. Maybe that
22:57
Speaker 2: should be all that we do. Know, we got some
23:01
Speaker 2: of those sandals people at church and they take them
23:04
Speaker 2: off and they walk around, and I'm not a big
23:05
Speaker 2: fan of that. You know, at least you keep the
23:08
Speaker 2: sandals on. I understand there's a thin line. But you
23:13
Speaker 2: got the sandals and then the bare feet. It's not much.
23:16
Speaker 2: There's not a whole lot of difference. I like to
23:19
Speaker 2: wear slides a lot. I do, especially when it's you know, hot,
23:22
Speaker 2: and it's summertime, and I like to do that. And
23:25
Speaker 2: I understand my feet are mostly visible. But I don't
23:28
Speaker 2: know that we just need the bare feet just walking around.
23:31
Speaker 2: I don't know that we need that. So maybe just
23:33
Speaker 2: you know, find those like glove shoes, whatever those things
23:35
Speaker 2: are called.
23:37
Speaker 3: It seems like, you know.
23:39
Speaker 2: A sociologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, that's the MIT,
23:46
Speaker 2: is studying married men who have developed strong relationships with
23:49
Speaker 2: AI girlfriends. These guys turning to AI chatbots, which offers
23:56
Speaker 2: such messages as I care about you, I love you,
23:59
Speaker 2: take care of me like real people.
24:02
Speaker 3: But they're not real people.
24:04
Speaker 2: Even though they say they can make men feel more
24:07
Speaker 2: alive with the messages about optimism and validation. The sociologist
24:11
Speaker 2: has a warning, of course, calling these messages pretend empathy,
24:15
Speaker 2: pointing out the obvious. The machine does not empathize with
24:18
Speaker 2: you and it does not care about you. So you
24:21
Speaker 2: got to be careful those AI girlfriends. You know, that's
24:26
Speaker 2: the beginning of the end. You have the AI girlfriends,
24:29
Speaker 2: and then we're all at soon, right, We're just all
24:32
Speaker 2: dead if you go down that path. Does it sound
24:36
Speaker 2: like Scarlett Johansson? I remember that movie heard that was
24:38
Speaker 2: a good movie. I like that, but a dangerous right,
24:43
Speaker 2: I mean that movie was definitely telling us that that
24:46
Speaker 2: wasn't a great idea. Some companies are working on technology
24:50
Speaker 2: that would lift tourists into the stratosphere one hundred thousand
24:53
Speaker 2: feet above the ground using pressurized capsules and massive gas
24:57
Speaker 2: filled balloons. The balloon rides will last about six hours
25:01
Speaker 2: and will not take passengers all the way to space,
25:04
Speaker 2: but instead we'll reach heights of only fifteen to nineteen
25:09
Speaker 2: miles above the surface of the Earth. The start of
25:12
Speaker 2: space is fifty miles up or so even at fifteen
25:16
Speaker 2: to nineteen miles, passengers will still get an epic view
25:18
Speaker 2: of the planet. With prices ranging from fifty thousand per
25:22
Speaker 2: set to about one hundred and eighty four thousand, Space
25:26
Speaker 2: Perspective selling their tickets, Sorry, that's Zefalto is the name
25:29
Speaker 2: of that company, and Space Perspective selling theirs for one
25:31
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five thousand. So you could go up
25:34
Speaker 2: in a balloon, and you could get that high up,
25:37
Speaker 2: and you could see the Earth from that perspective, and
25:40
Speaker 2: you'd still people say it's still flat. It's a flat Earth.
25:43
Speaker 2: I can see that it's curved, I can see that
25:45
Speaker 2: it's round. This high up, you'd have that much of
25:48
Speaker 2: a view and then still be convinced because they just
25:51
Speaker 2: want to believe that that's what they want to believe.
25:54
Speaker 2: If you're under a certain age akaold. Sorry, if you're
25:59
Speaker 2: of a certain age and you know, not under. If
26:01
Speaker 2: you're under, you've never heard of them. But if you're old,
26:04
Speaker 2: you probably remember a Sony discman, you know, portable CD
26:09
Speaker 2: player and it had the anti skip technology. That's when
26:12
Speaker 2: we knew we were something. Man. We had the anti
26:15
Speaker 2: skip because you could run with it. You could walk
26:17
Speaker 2: with it. I'm not kidding anybody. I wasn't running with it.
26:20
Speaker 2: Well that maybe during soccer, soccer practice or you know,
26:24
Speaker 2: just conditioning for soccer.
26:26
Speaker 3: Maybe I would.
26:27
Speaker 2: The company has reimagined old school portable CD players and
26:31
Speaker 2: will soon be releasing their very own called the DM thirteen,
26:38
Speaker 2: just like the dismant At plays CDs one at a time.
26:41
Speaker 2: There are some improvements. You don't have to use wired
26:43
Speaker 2: headphones right now. They've got the high fidelity wireless because
26:47
Speaker 2: that's where things are. But if you're going to use
26:50
Speaker 2: the old technology, though, why not use the headphones? No
26:53
Speaker 2: more need to keep changing the DOAA batteries. It has
26:56
Speaker 2: a DM thirteen with a modern built in rechargeable battery
27:01
Speaker 2: with eight hours of playback per charge. So I think
27:05
Speaker 2: you should have to use the double A batteries. Just
27:07
Speaker 2: let them suck down and then you got to get
27:10
Speaker 2: another battery.
27:11
Speaker 3: That seems like the right way to go.
27:13
Speaker 2: And finally, a London based pet food company called Meatley
27:17
Speaker 2: has become the first European company allowed to produce and
27:20
Speaker 2: sell lab grown pet food. Meatley plans to launch commercial
27:25
Speaker 2: samples of its first pet food product, grown from chicken
27:28
Speaker 2: cells this year. Industry insiders believe the stuff to be
27:33
Speaker 2: it'll be kind of expensive, but also expect the price
27:36
Speaker 2: to drop as more people start buying this stuff as
27:38
Speaker 2: the technology improves. That'll do it for this Friday edition
27:42
Speaker 2: of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank
27:46
Speaker 2: you for listening. I'll catch you back here Monday morning.
