  Speaker 2: Monday morning, twentieth day of April. I'm Wes. Thanks for
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: joining me. All the potheads giggle. It's four twenty ha ha.

• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, Monday the thirteenth, messed it up. You get
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: that after you get the Monday the thirteenth in April.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: So you're gonna get the four to twenty on a Monday.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: And I don't know, I always thought that was a
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: stupid thing for people to giggle about. But it's a
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: thing for people to giggle about. So better to giggle
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: about that than I don't know, be a jerk about stuff,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: you know, I think so. I would love, though, to
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: not spend most of my day today smelling weed all
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: over town the smoke. But that's just called Monday. It's
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: nothing of for twenty It's just because it's Monday. That's
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: what Columbus is like here and many I've got friends
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: live in different cities that have the same experience, so
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: it's just kind of especially in Georgia right now. So
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know. I could stand to
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: not smell it for I don't know, a year, it'd
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: be nice. There was a time when I was going
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: to a lot of concerts and I smelled it a
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: lot at those shows, but never tried it myself, never
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: had an interest in it, still don't, all right, So
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: a couple of things to get to. First of all,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: something that happened at the end of last week. It
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: happened actually on Thursday. I wanted to kind of save
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: it for today's show to talk about it, and it
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: was a milestone for me here on the show, a
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: milestone for us, especially if you've been listening for a while.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: But if you're listening now, you're part of this journey.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: But on Thursday of last week, when I recorded Made
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: of Stars with my good friend doctor Sean Cruising, the
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: podcast I do on typically on Thursdays with him, it
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: was my two thousandth podcast. I have done podcasts a
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: number of different places. I've got about seven shows a
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: week that I do. Now I've got, you know, different
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: times of year where I have more shows than others.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: When I'm doing dragon Con coverage, I've typically got interviews
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: and things that go with that, but two thousand podcasts
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: that I have produced and been a part of that
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: have for basically this endeavor of doing this show and
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Made of Stars and my MQLN show and then my
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: dragon Con some of the dragon Con shows I did,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: you know, years ago, and those have you know, accumulated
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: and then I've got them all in the Dragon Con
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: pregame show podcast. By the way, Celebrity interviews galory in
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: there if you want to check those out. We do
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: talk about dragon Con and all the wonderful things that
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: that convention is, but we also just talk about careers
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: of some of these, you know, different guests that attended
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the convention, William Shatner being, you know, kind of my
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: White Whale interview that I did, somebody that always respected
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: as an interviewer and I wanted to interview him. But anyway,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: it's part of that. But over the since I've really
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: been committed to doing podcasting full time since early twenty
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: twenty one, I'm accumulating now two thousand shows total over
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the years, and couldn't do it without you. Couldn't do
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: it without the advertisers, those of you that are sponsoring
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: us on Patreon and contributing to this. Anybody that's ever
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: listened to or downloaded a show, you know, every guest
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: that I've had on any of the shows include William Shatter,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: any of the co hosts that I've had over the years,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: anybody that has just taken part in it, anybody that's
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: contributed to a story in some way or sent me
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: something to talk about. All of you are part of
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: this ride. So I appreciate you. And two thousand seems
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: like a really big number. I mean, I thought a
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: thousand was a lot when we got there, and it was,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: and then you get but most people they don't get
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: past like five. I think that's the stat They just
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: don't get They it's something like ninety percent of podcasts
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: don't get past like five episodes or whatever. They start,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: they think, oh, this is going to be easy, and
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: then they realize it's not. And it certainly comes easier
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: to some than others, but it's still work. It's a grind.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I enjoy what I do. I love doing this and
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I love being able to share anything from my head
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: or you know, the interviews. As far as being able
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: to talk to people and help them share their stories
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: with you. I love it. I love doing it, but
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: it is work, and there's a lot of things I
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: do behind the scenes to make the small business work.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: So there are days when it is a grind. There
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: are days when it's just a lot of fun. And
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I couldn't do it without you. So I appreciate you.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I always at the end of every show, thank you
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: for listening, and I'm doing that again now. But just
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: a pretty cool milestone to get to last week, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I was great that as far as being a full
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: time podcaster. The flagship show for this network of shows
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: that I do was Made of Stars. That was the
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: first one that we launched, and Sean and I got
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: into that together. We had been doing a version of
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: that on the radio for years since like two thousand
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: and seven, so we wanted to continue on with it,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: and we thought, well, we'll do this as a podcast.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Have an opportunity to reach even more people than what
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: we were reaching before, and we've accomplished that, and again
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: people listening around the world to any of these shows.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I appreciate you very much. And you know a lot
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: of folks that were in the Columbus area that have
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: moved on somewhere else, whether it's for a career, whether
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: it's for you know, they retired and wanted to go
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: to warmer places and those kinds of things, or even
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: cooler places. You know, it's I'm blessed to have you
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: as part of this. And I know I've said it
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: several times, but I couldn't do it without you. I
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: mean I could. It would just not be nearly as fun,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: and I don't know that I would be able to
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: count it as a as a career at this point.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: So two thousand episodes, let's get about eight thousand more.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: That'd be in the next milestone maybe name for I realize,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: you know, just aim for twenty five hundred would be great,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: keep our focus on that. But I'm trying to think
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: big and think, hey, let's just get to I don't know,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: let's get to that big ten thousand number that would
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: be that'd be great. That's not it's not too ambitious.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think I think we could get to ten
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: thousand together, So let's do that. The other thing I
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: wanted to address that happened over the weekend is my
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: longtime radio partner, my very dear friend chosen family, that
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: we use that term with each other. Scott Miller, who
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I There was a brief period where I was out
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: of radio. I was publishing a magazine. It was something
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: that I really enjoyed, but I did miss radio and
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: there was a window there where I wasn't doing it
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: and I wanted to get back into it. Jill asked me,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: you know, what would it take for you to get
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: back into radio, you know, for you to be interested
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: in it, and I said, well, working with Scott. I mean,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: that was the easy answer for me, was, you know,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: a chance to work with Scott, and that within a
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: couple of days became a reality when he reached out
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: to me and said, hey, I need you, and I said,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I'm there. Let's do it. And just the way things
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: work out, the plan that God has for us, and
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the way those things play out. So that was two
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: thousand and seven when I started working with him, and
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: we had worked together. He was very much a mentor
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: for me in a lot of ways in radio and
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the guy that whenever I as a young programmer and
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I was I was program director of a station, Gosh,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: mid twenties, twenty four twenty five somewhere around there, when
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I got the job and had been working in radio
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: but I was not, you know, the guy, And at
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: that point I became the guy. And he was someone
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: that I could always just pop into his office and
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: sit down and bounce something at him. He'd give me
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: some like real world advice and took care of me
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: in that sense, gave me the advice that wasn't going
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: to cause more problems. The angry email I wanted to send.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Scott was always someone who would say, give it a
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: couple of days, give it a few hours at least
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: before you fire off that email. So our friendship certainly grew.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: We sat in a studio together from seven until the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: beginning of twenty twenty, and you know, sitting there every
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: morning together other than when he was doing a Columbus
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: State sporting event where he had to travel. And he
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: has now gotten to the fifty year mark of doing
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Columbus State University sports as their play by play announcer.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: And I have gotten to sit in with him many
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: times basketball baseball, you know, worked on both ends. There
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: were times where I had to be back in star
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: while he was there. We just I just was able
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: to experience some of these things through him in this
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: career that he's had with them. And you know, for
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: fifty years now. And I like to remind him, I
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: was in diapers when he started doing it. I was alive,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: but I was in diapers. But what a legendary career
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: he has had at Columbus State. And there were times
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: in his life where opportunities were there to go to
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: other markets and go other places. This was home for him,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: This was where his family was. His commitment was to
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Columbus State, and that's what he did. He stuck with it.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: He did it for so many fifty years of calling
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: play by play. I think it started with baseball, if
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I'm correct on that, and I think it just sort
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: of was, you know, let me, let me start doing this,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: and it became, you know, a passion and a career
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: for him. Sports is something that he is. You know,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: it's one of his great passions in life, especially baseball
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: basketball as well. You know, he's an avid fan of
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: many sports, but those are the two that you know, really,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: as far as his play by play experience, something that
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: he has really you know, did the deep dive into.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: As far as career goes, he's called other stuff. I mean,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: he's called high school baseball, he's calling football now, for Brookstone.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: So it's not to say that that's not you know,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: and he's done football. I know he did. He had
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: opportunities to do other markets in things like football, but
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: this was his home. This was his passion and the
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: relationships that he's had with students over the years, student athletes,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: their families, being that connection for the students that came
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: to Columbus to go to Columbus State and to be
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: here away from their fami families, and he was that
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: connection for them to be able to listen to games
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: that still is for so many years, and just those
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: relationships that he has built with those families and so
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: over the weekend on Saturday was the day that they
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: honored his fifty years and it was great. His family
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: came in, two of his brothers were here, his daughter
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: came into town, and some other friends that Josh Reebuck
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: who worked with us at the news talk station we
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: were at for years, and josh Rebuck was somebody who
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: did a lot of producing of games when Scott was
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: doing that. That was one of the jobs that Josh
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: had over the years, as well as filling in for
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Scott many mornings when I was doing in the morning show.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: With Scott and he had to be away and it
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: was great to see him. Sean Crusen was there for
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: the event. A lot of the Columbus State staff showed
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: up for the ceremony, and it was done just before
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: the game started. The teams were warming up and they
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: got the ceremony started for it. And one thing one
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: of the things that I observed and I just think
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: is great, is that one of the things about baseball
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: that is special is an event like this, a moment
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: like this that takes place you've been doing it this long.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: They were playing Augusta, who was in town for the game,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: and the other coach pulled all the players into the
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: dugout for this ceremony, brought him in to show respect.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: They clapped up Scott every time, you know, he had
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: anything he was talking about, they clapped him up. They
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: clapped up when the university presidence to what Rayfield was
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: there and she talked him up. The athletic director for
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: the school, justin Hay, talk him up. And they were
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: there like as if he was there. Play by play guy,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: and he has been, you know, not necessarily in their corner,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: but he's been the guy that's been calling their names
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: over the years as well, and it was nice to
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: see that respect. And they clapped everything he said except
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: for the end when he said, go Cougars, let's win
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: one today. So they honored him with that. Then they
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: made a couple of other announcements. One that these are
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: things that I've wanted to talk about, but I couldn't
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: really talk about because they were a little bit of
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: a surprise. But the press box there at Ragsdale Field
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: is now the Scott Miller press box. They honored him
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: by naming the press box after him, with a placard
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: to go up on there and everything, and it was
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: really cool. And then next was a scholarship is being
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: done in his name to help student athletes moving forward.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: And was that really got Scott emotional. And having my
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: wife working in the development office at Columbus State, she's
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: been working on that as far as you know, getting that,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: helping to get that set up. It's part of what
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: she does every day as her job was doing that
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: with scholarships and helping athletes and students, not just athletes
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: but all the students with scholarships and things. But anyway,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: it was a really special moment and I was really
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: glad to be there, and there were a number of
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: people coming into the Scott Miller press box just to
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: congratulate him and say hi to him as the game
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: was going on, and I had an opportunity to go
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: up and sit in with him for a couple of innings.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: And I've done that before, never in the Scott Miller
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: press box, so that was a first. So I really
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: proud of my friend, really happy for him, Happy that
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Columbus State acknowledged him in this world, what a special
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: thing to do for him, and just excited for him.

  Speaker 2: and his commitment to this area. So really proud of

  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: door opens closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: that you've got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: a situation where you'd like to add a screen door
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: to your garage door system that you can put down
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: and you can use your garage space as a sort
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: work on your own cars in there, or maybe you
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: just want a little man cavid, you'd like to be
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: able to open the door up and not invite all
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: the insects in. They can do that for you as well,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: And again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: than that thought of having your car trapped inside your
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: garage and your garage door won't open and you need
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: somebody to come help, And they do those as well.

  Speaker 2: dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after the break, Well,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: if you're trying to lose weight and you don't want
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: to do the glp ones or the ozimpics or the
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: we go v's or whatever they are. I don't know
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: a bunch of those things. You don't want to do it,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: even though it's now in convenient pill form. Well, one
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: thing that happens when you're trying to lose weight and
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: you're you know, maybe not eating as much food is
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: you have those cravings and apparently one of the things
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: that you can do is watch cooking shows or look
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: at pictures of food. There's new research suggesting that watching
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: videos of indulgent foods chocolate, pizza, burgers can actually help
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: curb those cravings for people, especially when they're dyeing. And
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: a series of experiments died or spent more time watching
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: high calorie food clips, but when given the chance to
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: eat afterward, they consumed less than the non dieters. Researchers
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: say it works through something called cross model satiation. It's
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: a lot to say for a professional speaker modal I
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: guess cross modal satiation, and they say that basically means
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: you see the food and it helps satisfy the craving
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: without ever taking a bite, and short your brain may
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: feel partially fed just by looking, making it easier to
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: resist real world snacking. It's pretty fascinating to know that
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: that actually works. You would think we would have figured
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: it out sooner though, but I don't know. The drug
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: companies seem to have a grip on us with it now.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: So maybe it just is a thing and a lot
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: of people just kind of look the other way for it.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Well, despite the handwringing over social media,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: most American teams say that apps like TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: aren't messing with their mental health for better or for worse,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: and according to new Pew research survey that was done,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: the majority of teens describe those platforms as having a
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: neutral effect on how they feel emotionally. With that said,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: many admit that apps can interfere with sleep and productivity,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: especially TikTok. Teens also point to some upsides, like staying
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: connected with friends partially I guess on various apps, but
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Snapchat may be their favorite for that. Unsurprisingly, parents see
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: things very differently, far more likely to believe social media
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: harms their kids' mental health and waste too much time
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: just being blunt here because we're wasting too much time
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: on it, and we just suspect that they're wasting too
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: much time on it as well. I mean, if we're
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: going to be honest and have an honest conversation about this,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: that's what I think is going on. We know what
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: we're doing, so we just kind of assume that that's
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: what they're doing. Does is your morning routine involve brushing
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: your teeth and drinking a cup of coffee. If so,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: it's important which one you do first. You probably haven't
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: given it a lot of thought, but dentists say timing
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: your toothbrushing matters more than you think. Experts recommend brushing
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: your teeth before you drink coffee and not after. Brushing
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: first removes plaque that builds up overnight and makes it
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: harder for your coffee to stain your teeth. If you
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: brush right after coffee, then you can actually damage your
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: enamel because coffee's acidity temporarily softens it. If you forget
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: to brush before your first nip, dentist say to wait
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: about thirty minutes before brushing, giving your enamel time to recover.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, rinsing with water or chewing sugar free
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: gum can actually help protect your teeth. It's pretty fascinating.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: I would have definitely assume boomed, and I think most
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: people assume that you're supposed to do it in the
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: other order, like you're supposed to drink the coffee and
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: then brush teeth. But makes sense there's some science behind it.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Speaking of science, here we go. This one's gonna hurt
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: a little bit for some of you, not all of us.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's sad for everybody, but brace yourself. New
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: research out of Sweden's University of Gothenburg has now settled
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: a long running debate, and it may make you feel
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: more guilty about one of those great delicacies in life,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: as scientists determine that lobsters really do feel pain when
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: they're boiled alive, and they suffer during the process. They
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: found that when lobsters were given painkillers like aspirin or lydakane,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: they stopped reacting to painful electric shocks that normally made
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: them try to escape. That response, scientists say, looks much
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: more like real pain than a simple reflex. Because of
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: those findings, experts calling for bands on boiling lobsters alive,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: a practice already illegal in places like Austria, Norway and
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: New Zealand. The researchers argue that if we wouldn't boil
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: a cow or a chicken alive, we shouldn't do it
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: to crustaceans either. They're urging more humane methods like stunning
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: it by putting it in the freezer from fifteen to
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: thirty minutes. Told you you might feel some guilt, but
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't need a lot of lobster,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: and be honest with you, when I've eaten it, I'm
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: sure it was probably boiled alive. I don't know. I mean,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: at some point I've probably eaten when it was boiled alive,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: but I don't know. It's hard to feel guilty when
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: you didn't know. I didn't actually drop it in the
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: hot water. So that'll do it for this Monday edition
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thanks
