Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:05
Speaker 1: Carol Morning Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, sixteenth day of July. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:14
Speaker 2: joining me. We are inching our way through the month
0:20
Speaker 2: of July, and we'll get through a few more weeks
0:25
Speaker 2: than it will be August, and then we'll get through August,
0:30
Speaker 2: and then September will be upon us. In this year,
0:36
Speaker 2: because of where the month falls, we get into Labor
0:43
Speaker 2: Day weekend into September. I guess this is the latest
0:48
Speaker 2: that Labor Day can happen in the calendar. So that's
0:52
Speaker 2: what we'll get this year. And Labor Day weekend in
0:57
Speaker 2: Atlanta means dragon Com and it is your chance to
1:03
Speaker 2: be a part of the largest pop culture convention that
1:07
Speaker 2: takes place anywhere in the universe. I was going to
1:10
Speaker 2: say in the world, but on the you know, on
1:12
Speaker 2: the Earth seems to limit it because you know, we're
1:15
Speaker 2: not aware of there being anything anything like Dragon con
1:19
Speaker 2: off planet. So here you go. It happens in five
1:24
Speaker 2: four star hotels in downtown Atlanta, and it's different than
1:29
Speaker 2: other conventions in that this is not something that takes
1:32
Speaker 2: place exclusively or almost exclusively in a convention hall. It
1:37
Speaker 2: takes place in these hotels and for the most part,
1:42
Speaker 2: you pretty much don't even have to go outside once
1:45
Speaker 2: you get settled in at dragon Con, it's not something
1:49
Speaker 2: that like most conventions that you may go to or
1:52
Speaker 2: you may be aware of. You go and then at
1:55
Speaker 2: like five o'clock they shut it down. Everybody goes and
1:58
Speaker 2: gets something to eat and goes back to a hotel somewhere,
2:01
Speaker 2: maybe by car, and then you know, you wait until
2:04
Speaker 2: the next morning, and then you go back and you
2:06
Speaker 2: get started. That's not how dragon Con works. I saw
2:09
Speaker 2: a great line using the line from the movie Infinity War,
2:16
Speaker 2: the Marvel movie where there's a scene where Bruce Banner
2:20
Speaker 2: comes off a plane and he's told by another character Rody,
2:25
Speaker 2: to bow to to Chala because they're in Wakanda, and
2:31
Speaker 2: he's like, he's a king, you bow, and he goes
2:33
Speaker 2: to bow, and then you know, Black Panther says, we
2:36
Speaker 2: don't do that here, and that's kind of and I
2:39
Speaker 2: saw a joke about dragon Con and you know, nighttime
2:42
Speaker 2: shutting down, we don't do that here. It really is
2:45
Speaker 2: something that just begins officially on Thursday. There's people who
2:50
Speaker 2: will be there Monday and Tuesday of that week before
2:53
Speaker 2: like they will. They will be there the week before
2:56
Speaker 2: Labor Day all the way through Labor Day. But there's
2:59
Speaker 2: no pressure to be there for that part of it,
3:01
Speaker 2: although some people get fomo about not being there early.
3:04
Speaker 2: But it officially starts on Thursday, and it really doesn't
3:07
Speaker 2: shut down fully until you know, sometime after lunch on Monday,
3:14
Speaker 2: and it's an all night There's lots, it's just a
3:16
Speaker 2: costume party that goes on all hours of the night,
3:20
Speaker 2: and then at some point you got to get some
3:21
Speaker 2: rest in. There will be some that won't be resting,
3:24
Speaker 2: and then you know, you get up the next morning
3:26
Speaker 2: and you do your thing, and then you know, as
3:28
Speaker 2: late as you can handle it. I'm getting old. This
3:31
Speaker 2: is my twenty fifth year covering this convention called Dragon Con,
3:35
Speaker 2: and I will be, you know, covering it for the
3:39
Speaker 2: twenty fifth time. There was that year for COVID, I
3:41
Speaker 2: covered that year while it was a virtual convention. But
3:45
Speaker 2: this is my twenty fifth year covering it. I can't
3:48
Speaker 2: stay up quite as late as I used to be
3:50
Speaker 2: able to, not if I'm going to get up and
3:52
Speaker 2: do interviews and things while I'm there. So speaking of interviews,
3:56
Speaker 2: and we'll be talking more about it as we get
3:59
Speaker 2: closer and closer to Labor Day weekend, As we get
4:02
Speaker 2: closer to September, I just need to mention to you
4:06
Speaker 2: that we will have the dragon Con Pregame Show podcast
4:11
Speaker 2: that'll be coming that weekend before Labor Day weekend, and
4:16
Speaker 2: it will be airing on radio on about two hundred
4:19
Speaker 2: radio stations around Georgia and the states that border Georgia.
4:23
Speaker 2: You'll get a chance to hear it on those, and
4:26
Speaker 2: then also we'll have the podcast currently, the dragon Con
4:31
Speaker 2: Pregame Show Podcast. There are past episodes of that waiting
4:35
Speaker 2: for you to listen to them. Wherever you get this podcast,
4:39
Speaker 2: you can listen to those interviews with people like William
4:42
Speaker 2: Shatner and stars from The Walking Dead and the Marvel
4:46
Speaker 2: Universe and the DC Universe and more. Doctor Who's a
4:53
Speaker 2: lot of people in there, Disney and others. Check it
4:57
Speaker 2: out there. Dragon Con Pregame Show Podcast. This year's show
5:01
Speaker 2: and many of the past shows sponsored by Columbus State
5:04
Speaker 2: University's Coca Cola Space Science Center. We appreciate them as
5:07
Speaker 2: always for sponsoring our coverage in the past as well
5:12
Speaker 2: as this year, and excited to be back at it.
5:15
Speaker 2: I've been looking over the guest list. I've been working
5:18
Speaker 2: on my list of requests for my interviews for this year.
5:23
Speaker 2: I don't have anything to announce yets very early in
5:25
Speaker 2: the game for that, but I'll have some of those
5:28
Speaker 2: for you in the coming weeks. All right, So what
5:31
Speaker 2: we'll talk about today is this idea of when you
5:38
Speaker 2: purchase something in the world of entertainment, some kind of
5:44
Speaker 2: media that you purchase, and whether or not you have
5:47
Speaker 2: the right to own that particular thing. And this has
5:53
Speaker 2: come up a few times because now that streaming has
5:58
Speaker 2: become the norm for most of the content that's out there,
6:03
Speaker 2: and we've just kind of allowed ourselves to slip into
6:07
Speaker 2: this mode of, well, we don't get to really own it.
6:11
Speaker 2: There's things that you own because you bought it in
6:13
Speaker 2: the past. There's things that you may own because occasionally
6:16
Speaker 2: you will purchase a copy of something on DVD or
6:20
Speaker 2: Blu ray and then in some case or maybe you
6:23
Speaker 2: got those old laser discs I don't know, but or
6:28
Speaker 2: the old vhs, the really old vhs if your VCR
6:31
Speaker 2: isn't chewing up your VHS. But this idea of us
6:38
Speaker 2: not really owning it continues to rear its head when
6:42
Speaker 2: you realize this idea that you're now effectively paying to
6:49
Speaker 2: stream something but you don't actually end up owning it.
6:53
Speaker 2: And in some cases if you purchase something like a
6:58
Speaker 2: digital stream of something on law like, there's cases where
7:01
Speaker 2: people have purchased it and then found out a couple
7:04
Speaker 2: of years later that even though they bought it and
7:07
Speaker 2: didn't rent it, they didn't rent it for one viewing
7:09
Speaker 2: they bought it, they're not able to watch it anymore
7:13
Speaker 2: because there was some sort of technicality in the clause
7:16
Speaker 2: in the contract that says no, no, no, you only
7:19
Speaker 2: had it for two years, you didn't permanently own it.
7:24
Speaker 2: That should scare you a little bit when you think
7:26
Speaker 2: about the fact that there's probably some things that you
7:28
Speaker 2: bought once upon a time and you may not even
7:30
Speaker 2: remember that you bought it, and you're going, well, wait
7:32
Speaker 2: a minute, how does this work? And it's come up
7:35
Speaker 2: again now with video games, as a number of people
7:40
Speaker 2: have been basically saying if we purchase it, if we
7:44
Speaker 2: purchase a video game and download it to our game system,
7:48
Speaker 2: our PlayStation or Xbox or switch, whatever it is, if
7:53
Speaker 2: you purchase the game and you download it and then
7:56
Speaker 2: eventually the company that you bought it from, whether it's
8:00
Speaker 2: Sony or Nintendo or Microsoft, whatever, if you've purchased it,
8:05
Speaker 2: you've downloaded it, and then they eventually decide, no, we're
8:09
Speaker 2: not gonna do updates for it, and we're not gonna
8:12
Speaker 2: provide any content for it unless you're still playing it
8:16
Speaker 2: online with us. This has recently come up with Mario Kart,
8:23
Speaker 2: as Nintendo has basically said, look, if you've got it
8:26
Speaker 2: and you're going to play it at home, that's fine.
8:29
Speaker 2: We're not going to provide any more updates to that
8:34
Speaker 2: version of it. If you're playing it and you're streaming
8:36
Speaker 2: it on our system and you're paying like ten bucks
8:39
Speaker 2: a month or whatever it is. I don't think it's
8:42
Speaker 2: that much because we have that streaming service so that
8:45
Speaker 2: my boys, they're definitely Nintendo fans more than anything else.
8:49
Speaker 2: They have a PlayStation five, but they play on their
8:54
Speaker 2: switch and they and we pay so that they can
8:59
Speaker 2: play online. But I don't believe it's ten dollars a month.
9:03
Speaker 2: I forget what we pay. It's surprisingly less than you
9:06
Speaker 2: would think. But they can continue to get updates on
9:10
Speaker 2: anything to do with Mario Kart versus the people that
9:13
Speaker 2: just want to not play it online, and they're saying
9:16
Speaker 2: that they're going to cut that out. Now, which versions
9:18
Speaker 2: of Mario Kart I don't know. I know there's different
9:20
Speaker 2: versions of it. There's the new version that's in the
9:22
Speaker 2: switch to and all those sorts of things. But so
9:26
Speaker 2: that's come up, and there's been this significant push by
9:31
Speaker 2: some folks that are saying, look, if we're buying it
9:34
Speaker 2: and you're telling us we don't own it, then you
9:38
Speaker 2: can't be mad at us if we're pirrating it and
9:41
Speaker 2: we're stealing it, because you're basically being disingenuous with us
9:46
Speaker 2: and you're stealing from us. So if we steal back
9:50
Speaker 2: a lah Robin Hood, well then so be it. It's
9:54
Speaker 2: not like you're not running around with blood on your
9:57
Speaker 2: hands as well. It's an interesting thought, know, anytime people steal, lie, cheat, whatever,
10:03
Speaker 2: they often find some sort of way to justify it.
10:06
Speaker 2: Does it make it right? Look, if one side is
10:10
Speaker 2: saying we're going to be doing everything by the book
10:13
Speaker 2: and we're going to pay for this game or this
10:15
Speaker 2: movie or whatever it is, only to find out that
10:20
Speaker 2: the people who sold it to you aren't really selling
10:25
Speaker 2: it to you. They're still just renting it to you.
10:28
Speaker 2: Then I can understand where we start getting into these
10:31
Speaker 2: great areas of is it justified. So here's another example
10:37
Speaker 2: of people that have been saying, hey, buy the actual media,
10:44
Speaker 2: buy it a physical copy of it instead of streaming.
10:49
Speaker 2: And this came up again. It's popped up from time
10:52
Speaker 2: to time. It has popped up again, and it got
10:55
Speaker 2: some attention, I guess from Elon musk on X as
10:59
Speaker 2: well as other people. But this is it's got to
11:06
Speaker 2: do with the movie Gone with the Wind, and Gone
11:11
Speaker 2: with the Wind is not streaming on Netflix. You can't
11:15
Speaker 2: watch it on Netflix. That was my chair. I don't
11:17
Speaker 2: know what that noise was, but I rolled back a
11:19
Speaker 2: little bit and it made a weird noise. I don't
11:21
Speaker 2: know if that was audible, but that was what that was.
11:25
Speaker 2: That was one hundred percent my chair. I could probably
11:27
Speaker 2: make it do it again, but I'm not. No, it
11:30
Speaker 2: didn't do it again. All right, Well, now you're just
11:32
Speaker 2: gonna think whatever you're gonna think, but I promise it
11:34
Speaker 2: was my chair. So it's not streaming on Netflix. Netflix
11:38
Speaker 2: is not the home for Gone with the Wind. That
11:41
Speaker 2: is not something that they have, but they have apparently
11:45
Speaker 2: for a very long time had a placeholder for Gone
11:49
Speaker 2: with the Wind. So sometimes when a company says we're
11:53
Speaker 2: going to be streaming, you know movie XYZ be a
11:58
Speaker 2: great name for a movie, they go ahead and they
12:00
Speaker 2: build a placeholder for it, and then that way, when
12:04
Speaker 2: the movie comes in, that's where you're able to download
12:07
Speaker 2: it from. People can learn about it. They can read
12:09
Speaker 2: information about that movie before it comes out, see who
12:12
Speaker 2: the stars are. They know everything that they need to
12:14
Speaker 2: know about the movie, so that when you do release it,
12:17
Speaker 2: it's there, it's ready to go. And it may not
12:20
Speaker 2: even be a movie. It may be a live concert,
12:22
Speaker 2: it may be a live sporting event, it may be
12:25
Speaker 2: a comedy show whatever. So they have one for something
12:30
Speaker 2: that they're not streaming, something that they're not going to
12:33
Speaker 2: stream at all. It's Gone with the Wind. And if
12:35
Speaker 2: you apparently go on Netflix and you pull up Gone
12:38
Speaker 2: with the Wind, you get a description for it, which
12:43
Speaker 2: is basically, Gone with the Wind is a nineteen thirty
12:48
Speaker 2: nine American Civil War epic known for its racism, and
12:53
Speaker 2: then it says to learn more about black lives in America,
12:56
Speaker 2: search black Lives Matter, and then it's got content related
13:00
Speaker 2: to black lives matter that you can link, you know,
13:06
Speaker 2: to that instead of watching Gone with the Wind. So
13:09
Speaker 2: they basically they think that if you go in and
13:12
Speaker 2: you're looking for Gone with the Wind. Hypothetically, if you're
13:17
Speaker 2: a person who says, man, I want to watch Gone
13:20
Speaker 2: with the Wind. I haven't watched that for a really
13:22
Speaker 2: long time and it's a classic, and I want to
13:25
Speaker 2: sit down and I've got, you know, twelve hours to
13:28
Speaker 2: spare or whatever. And you think, I'm gonna sit down
13:30
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna watch Gone with the Wind, and I'm
13:32
Speaker 2: so excited. I remember my grandmother used to watch this
13:35
Speaker 2: with me. My great grandmother used to watch it with
13:38
Speaker 2: my mom, and oh, man, I can't wait to sit
13:41
Speaker 2: down and watch Gone with the Wind. And then you
13:43
Speaker 2: sit down and you go, let's oh, maybe it's on Netflix.
13:46
Speaker 2: And you click on Netflix and you go to the
13:49
Speaker 2: car the placeholder and you click on it and then
13:52
Speaker 2: you go, oh, oh yeah, I guess it is known
13:55
Speaker 2: for its racism. And you know what, instead, I'm gonna
14:00
Speaker 2: I want to watch the movie Hidden Figures. That's what
14:03
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do. I want to watch this movie Crash.
14:08
Speaker 2: I want to watch one of these movies. Is really
14:11
Speaker 2: got this straw I'm gonna watch Sandra Bullock, you know,
14:17
Speaker 2: rescue a football player from the streets and the blind side.
14:20
Speaker 2: That's what I'm gonna do. I don't know that counts
14:22
Speaker 2: as Black Lives Matter because of you know, you got
14:25
Speaker 2: the white savior complex in there. But the point is,
14:28
Speaker 2: I wonder how many people whose minds they think they're
14:31
Speaker 2: gonna change with this earth shattering revolutionary approach to marketing
14:39
Speaker 2: Black Lives Matter, because that's what people go to Netflix
14:41
Speaker 2: for is to be preached to about politics. That's what
14:45
Speaker 2: they want. I mean, it is for some people, you know,
14:49
Speaker 2: they've got these well they have a show on there
14:51
Speaker 2: now that I guess Barack Obama's producing this series, and
14:56
Speaker 2: it's Larry David and others that are preaching to you
15:00
Speaker 2: about racism and things. Jimmy Kimmel I think is in there. Yeah,
15:05
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know how many people are
15:07
Speaker 2: walking into a movie set at the time of the
15:11
Speaker 2: Civil War going, wait a minute, there's racism in this movie.
15:16
Speaker 2: You mean there was racism back in the time of
15:19
Speaker 2: the Civil War. I can't believe it. I can't believe
15:22
Speaker 2: those Southern Democrats during the Civil War were racist. I mean,
15:28
Speaker 2: is that really what they're trying to do. They're trying
15:30
Speaker 2: to hide that. I don't know. It seems like a
15:32
Speaker 2: good theory. So yes, this has led to this push
15:36
Speaker 2: now for people to say, you know what, just buy it.
15:39
Speaker 2: Just if you want to watch Gone with the Wind,
15:41
Speaker 2: go buy the movie. Don't rely on these streaming services.
15:45
Speaker 2: And then you know, you got, you know, a twelve
15:48
Speaker 2: hour movie you can watch. It's plenty, that'll cover you
15:51
Speaker 2: for at least a week. Right, it's not that long,
15:54
Speaker 2: but it's like it feels like it's twelve hours if
15:56
Speaker 2: you haven't watched it. It's been a long time since
15:58
Speaker 2: I watched it. This isn't something that I watched with
16:00
Speaker 2: my grandmother and great grandmother. No, no, no, I watched
16:04
Speaker 2: it at school, and believe you me, it was every
16:09
Speaker 2: bit the six hours whatever it is. It was one
16:14
Speaker 2: of those movies that back in the day, you know, hey,
16:16
Speaker 2: we're gonna have an intermission so you can go to
16:18
Speaker 2: the bathroom. We're getting back there. Yeah, Chris Nolan in
16:22
Speaker 2: the Odyssey, maybe they need to work in an intermission
16:25
Speaker 2: with that. So yeah, you know, I don't think they
16:29
Speaker 2: do this with all of their movies that have themes
16:31
Speaker 2: that involve racism. But this is definitely targeting the movie
16:36
Speaker 2: Gone with a Win. And it's another reason, whether it's
16:39
Speaker 2: you know Mario Kart or you know some song. I
16:44
Speaker 2: remember Metallica back in the day trying to shut down
16:47
Speaker 2: the people doing the pirting. That was a different thing though,
16:50
Speaker 2: that was a genuine like, hey, we make music, we
16:52
Speaker 2: sell music. You're stealing it on lime Wire right on
16:56
Speaker 2: Napster Knock it off. That's different. That's a different topic.
17:00
Speaker 2: We're not talking about that or movies like Gone with
17:02
Speaker 2: the Win that you're trying to find a stream and
17:04
Speaker 2: you're getting preached to about Black Lives matter. It's this
17:08
Speaker 2: call to actually buy it and own it physically and
17:13
Speaker 2: quit renting it from people that don't care about you.
17:15

19:04
Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
19:08
Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
19:11
Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
19:17
Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
19:20
Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
19:25
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
19:28
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
19:31
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
19:33
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
19:37
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
19:40
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
19:42
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:45
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
19:49
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
19:52
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes
19:56
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
19:59
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
20:02
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
20:05
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
20:08
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
20:11
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
20:13
Speaker 2: you just want a little man caved, you'd like to
20:15
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
20:17
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
20:20
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
20:23
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
20:26
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
20:29
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
20:32
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thorty five eight forty five

20:38
Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
20:42
Speaker 2: after the break. Yesterday was National hot Dog Day and
20:54
Speaker 2: Pringles has gotten into the hot dog game with limited
21:00
Speaker 2: edition potato based pop dog buns inspired by three of
21:06
Speaker 2: its most popular flavors, sour cream and onion, barbecue and
21:09
Speaker 2: honey mustard. The flavored buns will be available through Pringles
21:13
Speaker 2: once you pop marketplace. Customers can get the buns free
21:17
Speaker 2: with the purchase of a Pringles three pack priced just
21:20
Speaker 2: under seven dollars. The promotion is part of the brand's
21:23
Speaker 2: latest campaign to bring its signature flavors beyond the It
21:27
Speaker 2: says the chip can but they're not chips. They're crisps, right,
21:31
Speaker 2: because it's just they're not really chips. They're kind of
21:35
Speaker 2: ground up and then put into those perfect shapes of chips,
21:38
Speaker 2: but anyway, or the shapes of duck bills if you
21:41
Speaker 2: flip it around and put in your mouth. So they
21:43
Speaker 2: try to get ready for the summer barbecue menu. They
21:47
Speaker 2: want to be there. So I've got no hate for
21:51
Speaker 2: honey mustard. But when I think of pringles, I definitely
21:54
Speaker 2: think of sour cream and onion and barbecue. But I
21:56
Speaker 2: think of the original. I don't necessarily think of honey mustard.
21:59
Speaker 2: But it makes sense why they'd want to make a
22:01
Speaker 2: honey mustard bond, you know, that just makes sense. Smartphone
22:06
Speaker 2: addiction can be blamed for a lot of things, distracted driving, sleep, disruption, anxiety, stress.
22:14
Speaker 2: Tattoos can apparently be added to the list. Lal Hardy,
22:18
Speaker 2: a veteran tattoo artist in London has been inking people
22:22
Speaker 2: for nearly fifty years, says mobile phones are the worst
22:26
Speaker 2: thing to happen to tattooing. He says that clients are
22:30
Speaker 2: constantly reaching for checking and dropping their phones, and that
22:34
Speaker 2: causes problems while they're getting tattooed. Because tattooing involves drawing
22:40
Speaker 2: it with a needle directly onto the skin, sudden movements
22:42
Speaker 2: can lead to mistakes and injuries already, says, artists regularly
22:46
Speaker 2: remind customers to sit still and focus during their sessions,
22:50
Speaker 2: but many people instinctively reach for their phones anyway. He says,
22:54
Speaker 2: tattooists have to stay alert because unexpected movements can happen anytime.
22:59
Speaker 2: I think this is all so an issue when you're
23:01
Speaker 2: getting your hair cut. There's been a couple of times
23:05
Speaker 2: where I know I'm getting a haircut and I move
23:07
Speaker 2: kind of quickly because my phone rang or something, and
23:10
Speaker 2: I realized, oh, I may have just caused a problem.
23:12
Speaker 2: But Jessica, who cuts my hair and say anything about it?
23:16
Speaker 2: She didn't say like oops, what did you do? Like
23:18
Speaker 2: nothing if there was an issue. She's used to it enough,
23:23
Speaker 2: probably like tattoo artists, where they just kind of go,
23:26
Speaker 2: we're gonna keep moving and we'll cover up whatever it is.
23:28
Speaker 2: We'll deal with it. So a new study suggests that
23:32
Speaker 2: for some women, cosmetic procedures can become more than just
23:35
Speaker 2: an occasional touch up. As researchers surveyed more than sixteen
23:40
Speaker 2: hundred women found that about twenty percent who had undergone
23:43
Speaker 2: cosmetic treatments showed a moderate to high risk of what
23:46
Speaker 2: they describe as an addictive cosmetic procedure use. In other words,
23:52
Speaker 2: they kept coming back for more treatments, found it hard
23:54
Speaker 2: to stop, or continued even when it led to negative consequences.
23:58
Speaker 2: Think about that catley, remember the cat lady and was like,
24:01
Speaker 2: what's going on with that cat lady? H Yeah, she
24:05
Speaker 2: just kept going back and going back and going back.
24:08
Speaker 2: The study found that the risk was actually higher than
24:11
Speaker 2: rates typically seen for some behavioral addictions, including gambling. Among women.
24:16
Speaker 2: Researchers say that social media appearance pressures, low self esteem,
24:23
Speaker 2: and body image concern may all play a role. While
24:26
Speaker 2: most people who get cosmetic work done don't develop problems,
24:29
Speaker 2: the findings highlight the importance of recognizing when a desire
24:33
Speaker 2: for self improvement turns into a compulsive cycle. So you
24:39
Speaker 2: got to be anything, You can get addicted to anything.
24:42
Speaker 2: But clearly, when you see people that have had all
24:44
Speaker 2: this work done, and then they're trying to chase get
24:46
Speaker 2: more work to fix the bad work, and then chase
24:48
Speaker 2: more work to fit. Then you go, okay, these are
24:50
Speaker 2: or you get people that get the you know, enlargements,
24:53
Speaker 2: the augmentations, and then they go bigger and bigger and bigger,
24:56
Speaker 2: and it's like, Okay, I think maybe there's an addiction there.
24:59
Speaker 2: I'm not an expert on addiction or on cosmetic surgery,
25:06
Speaker 2: but I can tell you sometimes you could kind of
25:08
Speaker 2: recognize I think this person might have a problem here.
25:11
Speaker 2: I think there might possibly be some kind of an
25:14
Speaker 2: addiction going on. Move over, body T. It's time for
25:18
Speaker 2: body coffee. That's the evolution of the viral term body
25:23
Speaker 2: t where gen z or say someone is attractive or
25:27
Speaker 2: has a great physique. But now some users are taking
25:30
Speaker 2: it a step further with body coffee, joking that tea
25:33
Speaker 2: simply isn't strong enough to describe how good someone looks.
25:37
Speaker 2: So basically, if someone's body is coffee, they're getting an
25:40
Speaker 2: extra strong compliment. If I had a nickel for every
25:44
Speaker 2: time I got called body coffee, oh my goodness, I'd
25:49
Speaker 2: have enough for a cup of coffee that I made
25:52
Speaker 2: at home, and the compliments are coming only from my wife,
25:57
Speaker 2: and I don't even know that she would call me
25:58
Speaker 2: body coffee. I'll do it for this Thursday edition of
26:01
Speaker 2: the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thanks for listening.
