- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Thursday morning, ninth day of April. I'm Wes, thanks for
- 0:14Speaker 2: joining me. We are. We got Artemis two coming back
- 0:21Speaker 2: and we're getting close. Tomorrow's the big day as they
- 0:24Speaker 2: are set to return home after this incredible journey, record
- 0:30Speaker 2: breaking and historic on so many levels. Journey around the
- 0:36Speaker 2: Moon just exciting. It's an exciting time, and it's we're back.
- 0:42Speaker 2: You know, we're back. We're back in this whole idea
- 0:47Speaker 2: of going to another body in space. You know that's next,
- 0:53Speaker 2: that's next. We are and I guess the booster. I
- 0:58Speaker 2: just saw that the booster is getting ready to make
- 1:01Speaker 2: its way to Kennedy and we were doctor Sean cruising
- 1:06Speaker 2: and I my friend from the Meta Stars podcast. We
- 1:09Speaker 2: were there at Kennedy when the Artemis two booster arrived.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Who knows, maybe we'll be there again for the Artemis
- 1:16Speaker 2: three booster that will actually take this next mission is
- 1:21Speaker 2: going to take people back to the surface of the
- 1:23Speaker 2: Moon and there will be some historic accomplishments and feats
- 1:26Speaker 2: that will take place with that feats, feats and feats
- 1:32Speaker 2: on the Moon. You know that's going to happen to
- 1:35Speaker 2: We're going to finally get that back again another trip
- 1:39Speaker 2: to the moon. But this is the step. This is
- 1:42Speaker 2: a test mission. This is what they do. They go.
- 1:44Speaker 2: A lot of things were tested, the space suit. There'll
- 1:48Speaker 2: be lots to talk about that in the coming days.
- 1:49Speaker 2: And actually we'll do that on Meta Stars later today
- 1:53Speaker 2: and when this week's show drops. It feels weird because
- 1:55Speaker 2: we did the show. Last week's show, we record, did
- 2:00Speaker 2: this Saturday prior because it was Made of Stars live.
- 2:04Speaker 2: We did that inside the Omnosphere Theater there at the
- 2:08Speaker 2: Coca Cola Space Science Center, of which Sean Crusin is
- 2:11Speaker 2: the executive director, and we did it with a live audience.
- 2:15Speaker 2: We took some audience questions. We had a great time.
- 2:17Speaker 2: But it just feels like, Man, I haven't done Made
- 2:19Speaker 2: of Stars in almost two weeks, and Sean and I
- 2:24Speaker 2: do it the only time. We have cases like that
- 2:27Speaker 2: where we do it. We recorded ahead of time for
- 2:29Speaker 2: special occasions like that. We've done that a couple times now,
- 2:32Speaker 2: and then like over the holidays, we record ahead or
- 2:35Speaker 2: if one of us has a vacation or something, we
- 2:37Speaker 2: try to record ahead. This just worked out that I
- 2:39Speaker 2: had a vacation at the time that you know, we
- 2:42Speaker 2: were going to be doing the Made a Stars Live show,
- 2:46Speaker 2: so that worked out great. That panned out perfectly for us.
- 2:50Speaker 2: But we'll be talking a lot on Meta Stars. So
- 2:52Speaker 2: check us out there if you haven't already, and you know,
- 2:56Speaker 2: it's wherever you get this podcast, you can get that
- 2:58Speaker 2: podcast Made a Star And thanks for checking us out
- 3:01Speaker 2: if you do, and if you go. Space is n't
- 3:03Speaker 2: my thing, you know, I don't need to hear the
- 3:07Speaker 2: inner workings of all of this. That's fine, but just
- 3:09Speaker 2: know as we get closer and closer to Artemis three,
- 3:13Speaker 2: I mean, I realize Artemis two isn't currently over yet,
- 3:16Speaker 2: we're getting close, but as we get closer to it,
- 3:19Speaker 2: we're in a space race again. And this is a
- 3:21Speaker 2: time of national pride and world pride and all these
- 3:25Speaker 2: great things that are taking place with it. So you
- 3:28Speaker 2: can check out Sean. I'll give us the breakdown I'm
- 3:30Speaker 2: sure on the show today about all of the tests
- 3:34Speaker 2: and things that have been taking place and these incredible
- 3:37Speaker 2: photos that I know you've probably already seen, but we'll
- 3:41Speaker 2: be talking about some of those and some of the
- 3:44Speaker 2: reasons that they're doing some of the things that they've
- 3:47Speaker 2: been doing, because there's very specific things they've been up
- 3:50Speaker 2: there testing and getting ready for. And this is a
- 3:53Speaker 2: test mission to make sure that the next crew is
- 3:56Speaker 2: able to safely get there. And you know, now we're
- 4:00Speaker 2: at the phase now with landing them on the Moon
- 4:03Speaker 2: and then getting them back off the Moon, and it's
- 4:05Speaker 2: been a long time since we've done that currently the
- 4:08Speaker 2: only ones who've successfully done that. So also something else
- 4:12Speaker 2: to consider as we're in this next era of a
- 4:16Speaker 2: space race. So yeah, and the people and I touched
- 4:20Speaker 2: on this a little bit, but you got the people
- 4:22Speaker 2: that are the you know, the flat earthers and that
- 4:24Speaker 2: we never went to the moon people, and they're not
- 4:26Speaker 2: really in space and and all of those things. And
- 4:29Speaker 2: let's just be real here for a minute. They believe
- 4:32Speaker 2: what they're going to believe, or they say that they
- 4:35Speaker 2: believe it. Even if they don't, there's no real changing it.
- 4:38Speaker 2: There's no real altering where they are, where they're coming from.
- 4:42Speaker 2: None of those you're you're you're not going to be
- 4:44Speaker 2: able to change their minds. They're just convinced and that
- 4:48Speaker 2: is whatever it is that they believe, whatever they've been
- 4:52Speaker 2: spoon fed all of those things. There are countless numbers
- 4:58Speaker 2: of evident and reasons to know that we have been
- 5:01Speaker 2: to the Moon in the past and we are going
- 5:05Speaker 2: to go again. And it doesn't matter what we see
- 5:08Speaker 2: in the live feed, it doesn't matter what's going on.
- 5:10Speaker 2: There's people who break down the International Space Station and
- 5:13Speaker 2: they say, well, they're just not floating enough up there.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Clearly they're not floating and that's not what's taking place.
- 5:19Speaker 2: And I just it's amazing to me. And if you
- 5:23Speaker 2: think that for a minute, any like during this previous
- 5:26Speaker 2: space race with Russia, if they thought for a half
- 5:29Speaker 2: a second that we didn't really go to the moon,
- 5:31Speaker 2: don't you think they would have told everyone everyone that
- 5:35Speaker 2: it was a hoax. But no, that's that's not the
- 5:37Speaker 2: way that played out. But anyway, but they're they're difficult
- 5:42Speaker 2: and that they're just going to believe what they want
- 5:44Speaker 2: to believe, no matter what the situation is. And that's
- 5:46Speaker 2: kind of where we are. Everything now, sadly has become
- 5:51Speaker 2: a religion. You know, everything is now something that we
- 5:55Speaker 2: put all of our faith in it, even if you know,
- 6:00Speaker 2: even if there's evidence to the contrary, it's all just
- 6:04Speaker 2: become that. It's it's what we do now. So all right,
- 6:08Speaker 2: so let's get on to something for today. And this
- 6:11Speaker 2: is kind of a unique story. It's not completely like
- 6:15Speaker 2: unheard of. I think it's happened in the past, if
- 6:17Speaker 2: if I remember hearing correctly. But you know, we've had
- 6:20Speaker 2: this this situation where the international flight where a baby
- 6:27Speaker 2: was born and this is a you know, this discussion.
- 6:32Speaker 2: I guess this happened on Friday, Kingston, Jamaica coming into
- 6:36Speaker 2: New York and they were had some drama in the air,
- 6:43Speaker 2: a baby was born, and they're saying that the baby
- 6:46Speaker 2: baby was born in American airspace, therefore it gets birthright
- 6:51Speaker 2: citizenship because of that. Uh. This is one of those
- 6:58Speaker 2: things that adds to the complications of this discussion that
- 7:03Speaker 2: we've been having for a little while now about birthright
- 7:07Speaker 2: citizenship and whether it's being used as it was intended
- 7:11Speaker 2: by the founders and by well, I say the founders,
- 7:18Speaker 2: but you know, really that came a little while later.
- 7:20Speaker 2: But when we start talking about trying to give some
- 7:24Speaker 2: citizenship claims and things for slaves that was part of
- 7:30Speaker 2: all of it, that were born on American soil, it
- 7:35Speaker 2: is a this is and to me, this situation with
- 7:42Speaker 2: this airplane and airspace and all of these things, there's
- 7:45Speaker 2: a lot there's a lot of misconceptions about things. There's
- 7:49Speaker 2: a lot of people that want to stretch and take
- 7:52Speaker 2: things and turn them into things that's not what they
- 7:55Speaker 2: were intended, what they were supposed to be. And this
- 7:58Speaker 2: is obviously going to be another layer to this birthright
- 8:02Speaker 2: citizenship thing. And I'm only I'm bringing this up one
- 8:05Speaker 2: because it's an interesting story and it's an interesting thing
- 8:08Speaker 2: that we're gonna see how this plays out and how
- 8:10Speaker 2: far does that go. You know, if you're in an
- 8:13Speaker 2: air space, could someone just you know, get on a plane,
- 8:19Speaker 2: make their way into what is some area of American
- 8:23Speaker 2: airspace and have a baby in the air and just say, well,
- 8:26Speaker 2: that's it. I was in airspace. It's this baby was born.
- 8:32Speaker 2: And another thing that people often get wrong on some
- 8:35Speaker 2: of this, And I just want to make sure because
- 8:37Speaker 2: we've had this discussion over the years about you know,
- 8:40Speaker 2: American citizenship. There were people that said that John McCain,
- 8:44Speaker 2: because he was born overseas on a military base, that
- 8:47Speaker 2: he wasn't an American citizen. He wasn't born on US
- 8:49Speaker 2: soil or Ted Cruz born in Canada, you know. And
- 8:54Speaker 2: then the discussion, of course, infamously, one of the things
- 8:57Speaker 2: that put Donald Trump on the map in the first
- 8:59Speaker 2: place was the conversation about whether he was born in
- 9:03Speaker 2: the US or not, whether he had a birth certificate
- 9:06Speaker 2: in Hawaii, and whether or not he was, you know,
- 9:10Speaker 2: really an American citizen and all these things. So a
- 9:13Speaker 2: couple things, and I had friends that said, oh, Ted
- 9:16Speaker 2: Cruz isn't even eligible to run for president when he
- 9:18Speaker 2: was running wrong. Ted Cruz's parent had you know, you
- 9:23Speaker 2: have an American parent and you're born, you have American citizenship.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Barack Obama had a mother who was an American citizen.
- 9:31Speaker 2: That's it didn't matter where he was born. Could have
- 9:33Speaker 2: been born on the moon, doesn't matter. An American parent
- 9:38Speaker 2: grants you American citizenship. It's not about being born on
- 9:41Speaker 2: American soil. There's two sides of this citizenship coin and
- 9:44Speaker 2: this birthright thing. And people think that, you know, if
- 9:48Speaker 2: an American was traveling overseas and was born in another country,
- 9:52Speaker 2: that means they don't have American citizenship for their child.
- 9:56Speaker 2: And obviously that's and that's where all of this stuff
- 10:01Speaker 2: just gets it gets exhausting to have these conversations with
- 10:05Speaker 2: people because people really thought that, you know, Obama, Oh,
- 10:08Speaker 2: he wasn't really an American citizen. His mother was, therefore
- 10:13Speaker 2: he was. That's the end of the discussion. Ted Cruz
- 10:16Speaker 2: parents American end of discussion. John McCain end of discussion.
- 10:21Speaker 2: It's just the way it works. But obviously we're just
- 10:28Speaker 2: I don't know this. This thing with the plane is
- 10:30Speaker 2: going to be interesting where this where this all can go,
- 10:34Speaker 2: and how this discussion will go. But part of all
- 10:38Speaker 2: of this, and it kind of ties into this idea
- 10:41Speaker 2: of you know, folks that have come into the country illegally.
- 10:47Speaker 2: I have been talking to more and more people that
- 10:53Speaker 2: I feel like, maybe I don't know, a couple of
- 10:56Speaker 2: years ago might have said we have too many people
- 10:59Speaker 2: in the country, and now they seem to be sort
- 11:04Speaker 2: of shifting into this, Well, we have so many riches,
- 11:07Speaker 2: and we have so much wealth, and we have so
- 11:08Speaker 2: much opportunity for people from around the world to come here,
- 11:12Speaker 2: and we should just let them come here. What Now,
- 11:18Speaker 2: there's a few sides to this, and to say we
- 11:21Speaker 2: have so much opportunity, we don't have endless wealth here,
- 11:28Speaker 2: we don't have endless resources. We will lose this country
- 11:33Speaker 2: if we just open the borders and just let anyone
- 11:35Speaker 2: come and accept handouts. The thing about having a situation
- 11:42Speaker 2: with an open border, this is my take on it.
- 11:45Speaker 2: I'm just telling you. If you wanted to have a
- 11:48Speaker 2: country and say we're going to have an open border
- 11:50Speaker 2: and people can just come and go as they please
- 11:52Speaker 2: and we're not going to worry about it, that country
- 11:56Speaker 2: cannot be a socialist or country. You can't just have
- 12:04Speaker 2: open borders with the complete ability to just sap all
- 12:11Speaker 2: of the money and resources in the country. Those two
- 12:14Speaker 2: things can't coexist. And we have enough social programs that
- 12:18Speaker 2: allowing people to just come in is not going to
- 12:24Speaker 2: be sustainable. That's the problem that we have, and it's
- 12:28Speaker 2: the problem with some of this birthright stuff. You have
- 12:31Speaker 2: people that are looking for loopholes to just get people
- 12:35Speaker 2: in the country so that they can then take part
- 12:38Speaker 2: in some of these programs, and not everyone who comes
- 12:41Speaker 2: in illegally wants to do that. You have some people
- 12:43Speaker 2: who actually come into the country illegally, but they do
- 12:47Speaker 2: want to get to a place where they have citizenship
- 12:50Speaker 2: and they want to participate in this country. To that,
- 12:54Speaker 2: of course, as the spouse of someone who came into
- 12:57Speaker 2: the country legally from another country and is now a citizen.
- 13:01Speaker 2: You have to get in line. I mean, that's the
- 13:03Speaker 2: only fair way to do it. But we're also a
- 13:05Speaker 2: country now where it seems like fairness is not or objective.
- 13:10Speaker 2: We're not looking for justice or fairness anymore. We're looking
- 13:13Speaker 2: at well, they've got it they've got it rough. Let's
- 13:16Speaker 2: bump them ahead of everyone else. They've had it rough.
- 13:18Speaker 2: They've had it bad. They don't need to be prosecuted.
- 13:21Speaker 2: They've had it bad. They've had it rough. Whatever crime
- 13:25Speaker 2: that maybe they committed is justified. Somehow. They've had it bad.
- 13:29Speaker 2: They've had it rough. They're burning police cars and throwing
- 13:32Speaker 2: things at police officers, but they're doing it in the
- 13:35Speaker 2: name of protests, so just let them do it. We're
- 13:38Speaker 2: not looking at things from the perspective anymore of what's
- 13:41Speaker 2: fair and what's right and what's just. We're looking at
- 13:44Speaker 2: it from the perspective of we have politicians who are
- 13:48Speaker 2: leaning on us, and we have politicians, honestly that are
- 13:51Speaker 2: telling us we have this abundance of space and resources,
- 13:57Speaker 2: and we have the ability to let people come in
- 13:59Speaker 2: and make a better life for themselves. And look, if
- 14:05Speaker 2: open borders is your thing, if you're taking the libertarian
- 14:08Speaker 2: route on this and you think, oh, we should just
- 14:10Speaker 2: have open borders and people should be able to come,
- 14:13Speaker 2: and you can't do it with any sort of socialist
- 14:16Speaker 2: programs or people that are just coming and going cannot
- 14:21Speaker 2: come in and take things unless they've contributed to them.
- 14:25Speaker 2: It's just not going to work. There's no way for
- 14:27Speaker 2: those resources to maintain themselves. People coming in should have
- 14:31Speaker 2: to participate in whatever, contribute to the coffers. They have
- 14:40Speaker 2: to contribute to the funds. They have to be part
- 14:43Speaker 2: of whatever is going to be pulled from for later use.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Otherwise it's not there and it won't be there. And
- 14:50Speaker 2: the people who live here that are contributing to it
- 14:53Speaker 2: are always going to feel like they're being taken advantage of.
- 14:57Speaker 2: And it's what's happening in states. I talk to a
- 14:59Speaker 2: friend the other day and I said, you know, California
- 15:02Speaker 2: is garbage. And it's not the state, it's not good
- 15:08Speaker 2: people who live there. It's just being poorly run. It's
- 15:11Speaker 2: being poorly managed. And that's what I'm talking about. And
- 15:14Speaker 2: you have mayors and cities that just have let bad
- 15:17Speaker 2: things happen, and there's no explanation for why they just
- 15:20Speaker 2: allow bad things to happen. You have a governor there
- 15:23Speaker 2: who incompetent and is eyeing bigger things, thinks that he's
- 15:30Speaker 2: entitled to the presidency, and they're running out of money fast,
- 15:35Speaker 2: and we're seeing it happen in real time. We're watching
- 15:38Speaker 2: a state just collapse. I mean, think about Greece. Maybe
- 15:41Speaker 2: you don't remember, but Greece just fell apart and it
- 15:44Speaker 2: was just done. And some of the same kind of
- 15:47Speaker 2: things are happening in California. And this is not a
- 15:49Speaker 2: state that is going to it's not thriving at the moment.
- 15:54Speaker 2: And you have studios in Hollywood just closing. People don't
- 15:58Speaker 2: want to make movies there anymore. They don't see that
- 16:01Speaker 2: as a state, and that people are taking businesses out
- 16:03Speaker 2: of there. For all of these reasons that we're talking about.
- 16:06Speaker 2: You can't just bring people in truthfully for the purposes
- 16:11Speaker 2: of you know, building up. Hey, we're going to bring
- 16:13Speaker 2: in illegals, let them get counted on the census, and
- 16:15Speaker 2: then we don't care what happens to them. We're just
- 16:17Speaker 2: worried about census years. And that's what they're doing. They're
- 16:20Speaker 2: building them up for the census years, they get them counted,
- 16:23Speaker 2: and then they don't really care where they go from there.
- 16:25Speaker 2: They can they could be deported after that for all
- 16:27Speaker 2: they care. They're looking for patting those numbers for population.
- 16:31Speaker 2: You don't have to be a citizen, or legal or
- 16:34Speaker 2: have a green card, any of those things to be
- 16:37Speaker 2: counted in the census. That's what they're looking for. They're
- 16:40Speaker 2: looking at patting those numbers. They're looking at, you know,
- 16:43Speaker 2: trying to add more seats to their state so that
- 16:46Speaker 2: they can take And that's why you have sanctuary cities.
- 16:48Speaker 2: It's the purpose. It's not about trying to help people
- 16:52Speaker 2: get a better life and have resources and all the things.
- 16:55Speaker 2: That's not what it's about. That's what they tell you
- 16:57Speaker 2: it's about. But it's honestly, it's just about trying to
- 17:01Speaker 2: pad those numbers. That's what they want to do. And
- 17:04Speaker 2: that's why they don't care if people are living in
- 17:06Speaker 2: tent cities, because they're there they can be counted. They're
- 17:09Speaker 2: going to make sure they get counted in the census,
- 17:11Speaker 2: and they're also going to make sure they get registered
- 17:13Speaker 2: to vote at some building where like a thousand people
- 17:16Speaker 2: are registered to vote so that they can walk around
- 17:18Speaker 2: with a tablet and get them all set up and
- 17:20Speaker 2: then you know, get them vote in elections. That's all
- 17:23Speaker 2: part of the goal. Today show brought to you by
- 17:25Speaker 2: Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and
- 17:30Speaker 2: educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career
- 17:36Speaker 2: holders that really of all ages. I mean they do
- 17:40Speaker 2: it for school age kids as school age kids visit
- 17:43Speaker 2: the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do
- 17:45Speaker 2: it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
- 17:51Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
- 17:56Speaker 2: right now. And you can learn more about maybe getting
- 17:59Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
- 18:06Speaker 2: also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got
- 18:09Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School
- 18:14Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
- 18:17Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
- 18:22Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
- 18:24Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus Georgia.
- 18:28Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
- 18:33Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
- 18:37Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
- 18:40Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
- 18:45Speaker 2: and also check out when the next astronomy Night's coming up.
- 18:48Speaker 2: Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
- 18:51Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
- 18:55Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
- 18:57Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming astronomy events
- 19:00Speaker 2: also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean

- 20:05Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking

- 20:11Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 20:14Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 20:17Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 20:20Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 20:22Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
- 20:25Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 20:26Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 20:29Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 20:32Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 20:35Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
- 20:38Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
- 20:41Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred

- 20:47Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after
- 20:52Speaker 2: the break. Well, this is one of those things where
- 21:03Speaker 2: you hear all the time, get up and go for
- 21:05Speaker 2: a walk, get moving, get out there, go for a
- 21:07Speaker 2: walk and do that. It'll be good for you. It
- 21:09Speaker 2: gets you off your butt, gets you doing things, get
- 21:11Speaker 2: you moving around. Walking is good, right, well, apparently it
- 21:16Speaker 2: is good, but according to researchers, it's not enough. A
- 21:23Speaker 2: large national study found that while nearly half of American
- 21:26Speaker 2: adults say that walking is their go to workout, only
- 21:29Speaker 2: about one in four walkers actually meet federal guidelines for
- 21:33Speaker 2: both aerobic exercise and muscle strengthening workouts, which is one
- 21:38Speaker 2: hundred and fifty minutes per week to going with moderate
- 21:43Speaker 2: to vigorous aerobic activity at least two days a week
- 21:46Speaker 2: of muscle strengthening exercises. On top of that weightlifting, resistance
- 21:50Speaker 2: training and all that. So they say more than twenty
- 21:53Speaker 2: percent don't meet either guideline at all. Researchers say that
- 21:56Speaker 2: walking is a great start, but to real protect long
- 22:01Speaker 2: term health, it works best when combined with activities like
- 22:04Speaker 2: strength training or cycling, and where you live also matters.
- 22:08Speaker 2: People in cities were more likely to meet activity goals
- 22:12Speaker 2: than those in rural areas. And the takeaway walking good,
- 22:16Speaker 2: but you got to mix it up and do some
- 22:18Speaker 2: other things on top of it. It's never enough. It's
- 22:21Speaker 2: never enough. Whatever we do, it's not enough. It's just
- 22:26Speaker 2: how it goes. Health officials in New York City recently
- 22:30Speaker 2: shared an update that has some good news for seafood lovers,
- 22:34Speaker 2: not so much the local fish though they announced it
- 22:36Speaker 2: for the first time in fifty years, the fish in
- 22:39Speaker 2: the Lower Hudson River area can now be eaten. Yeah,
- 22:42Speaker 2: how about that. Not since the seventies have people been
- 22:47Speaker 2: able to catch and eat fish in the New York
- 22:50Speaker 2: City from the river that separates New York and New Jersey,
- 22:55Speaker 2: and it was because of pollution and toxic chemicals in
- 22:58Speaker 2: the water. But now, according to New York State Department
- 23:01Speaker 2: of Health says, go for it. The toxicity levels in
- 23:04Speaker 2: the water have dropped enough to ease restrictions, so people
- 23:08Speaker 2: can go get some of the striped bass. They say,
- 23:12Speaker 2: avoid the carp and the small mouth bass though, so
- 23:16Speaker 2: if you catch a fish fish that is riddled with mutations.
- 23:22Speaker 2: You know, don't eat it, you know it's probably not good.
- 23:25Speaker 2: I like that there's no unacceptable amount, and I know
- 23:28Speaker 2: that's true with everything. There's an acceptable amount of you know,
- 23:31Speaker 2: waste in foods or whatever. There's acceptable less, say waste,
- 23:34Speaker 2: like you know, enough, you have enough insect parts in
- 23:39Speaker 2: chocolate or whatever it is, and chocolate's good, so we're
- 23:42Speaker 2: going to keep eating it. But I don't know. I
- 23:44Speaker 2: don't know about my comfort level if I was there
- 23:48Speaker 2: eating the fish from there, but it's good. I guess
- 23:50Speaker 2: it's some progress on cleaning it up.
- 23:52Speaker 1: That's good.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Gen Z is trying to bring back I don't know
- 23:57Speaker 2: if they're trying to specifically do that, but effectively bring
- 24:00Speaker 2: back the dive bar mentality. Rather than looking for the
- 24:04Speaker 2: hyped hotspots or restaurants that are hard to get reservations
- 24:09Speaker 2: to and you know, sharing their meals on Instagram, apparently
- 24:13Speaker 2: gen Z is looking for They're doing regular maxing. I
- 24:18Speaker 2: guess that's what they call it. So you sort of
- 24:20Speaker 2: become a regular at a bar, a cafe, or just
- 24:24Speaker 2: some dive where people actually know who you are. Cheers,
- 24:30Speaker 2: central perk, things like that. From TV so basically they're
- 24:34Speaker 2: looking for familiarity, not necessarily something that's trendy or exclusive,
- 24:39Speaker 2: but they want some kind of comfort community. It's a
- 24:44Speaker 2: generation that's burned out on apps and endless scrolling, and
- 24:46Speaker 2: they're showing up at the same spots week after week.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Gives them a feeling of being grounded. And restaurants love
- 24:54Speaker 2: it too, because loyalty becomes harder to come by with
- 24:57Speaker 2: many restaurants. We have so many options when it co
- 25:00Speaker 2: to restaurants and places, So I'm sure that the restaurants
- 25:04Speaker 2: really love it. They they don't necessarily, you know, want
- 25:09Speaker 2: to have you come in once every you know, three
- 25:12Speaker 2: months or whatever. They liked the idea of people coming
- 25:14Speaker 2: in quite a bit, so that's good. That's really good stuff.
- 25:19Speaker 2: Last month, Lego launching a new smartplay system with bricks
- 25:22Speaker 2: that react to motion and sounds as part of a
- 25:26Speaker 2: few new Lego Star Wars sets, And now they're bringing
- 25:30Speaker 2: in a Star Wars icon to basically do the you know,
- 25:36Speaker 2: the ads for it to talk about playing with the
- 25:39Speaker 2: Lego sets. So basically they had an opportunity for people
- 25:46Speaker 2: to call and talk to Mark Hamill. I guess this
- 25:49Speaker 2: was yesterday and he was basically talking about the new
- 25:53Speaker 2: smart Play system and how the bricks worked with the
- 25:57Speaker 2: Lego sets, and different people calling into the hotline got
- 26:01Speaker 2: an opportunity to go into a live video chat with
- 26:04Speaker 2: Luke sky Walker himself to talk about Star Wars and Lego.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Pretty good stuff. They were doing that yesterday, so yeah,
- 26:12Speaker 2: Or he could just tell you about politics. Sure, he'd
- 26:15Speaker 2: be happy to do that as well. Or would have
- 26:16Speaker 2: been happy to do that. I guess it was yesterday.
- 26:19Speaker 1: All right.
- 26:19Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Thursday edition of the show.
