- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Monday morning, eighth day of June. I'm Wes. Thanks for
- 0:14Speaker 2: joining me. Tomorrow a big primary day in Maine. We're
- 0:20Speaker 2: gonna do a little bit more on Grand Platinir. Just
- 0:24Speaker 2: some things have come up since the end of last week,
- 0:26Speaker 2: but we'll get to that in a second. First, I
- 0:29Speaker 2: just want to say, eight year old west deep down
- 0:34Speaker 2: inside of me is a happy kid, somewhere deep down inside.
- 0:39Speaker 2: You know. They do that exercise where they say, if
- 0:42Speaker 2: you could go back in time and you could talk
- 0:45Speaker 2: to yourself when you were a kid, what would you say,
- 0:49Speaker 2: you know? Or what would you go back to twenty
- 0:51Speaker 2: one year old you or eighteen year old you? And
- 0:54Speaker 2: I would love to go back to me as a kid.
- 0:59Speaker 2: And I say eight year old me because that would
- 1:01Speaker 2: be around the age when I was, you know, really
- 1:03Speaker 2: into He Man and the Masters of the Universe and
- 1:07Speaker 2: all that. By the time they got around to making
- 1:11Speaker 2: a he Man movie, I guess that was like eighty seven,
- 1:15Speaker 2: so I would have been twelve at that point and
- 1:20Speaker 2: excited at that point to go, oh, They're gonna make
- 1:22Speaker 2: a movie of he Man, and I can't wait, like
- 1:25Speaker 2: I want to check it out. I was, you know,
- 1:27Speaker 2: weaning myself off of some of those children's things, and
- 1:32Speaker 2: then I got older, I was like, yeah, I like
- 1:34Speaker 2: this stuff again. But that was the phase where you know,
- 1:37Speaker 2: I'm starting to work my way into I was in
- 1:39Speaker 2: that tween phase and starting to notice other things in
- 1:43Speaker 2: the world, not so much just you know, the childhood toys,
- 1:47Speaker 2: and I was into a little bit older toys by
- 1:50Speaker 2: that point. I was probably like I would go like
- 1:52Speaker 2: shooting guns with my dad and things like that. So
- 1:56Speaker 2: at you know, twelve or so, they put out this
- 1:59Speaker 2: he Man movie with Dolph Lundgren and it was nothing
- 2:06Speaker 2: close to what you know he Man was back then,
- 2:10Speaker 2: and I was disappointed. So if I could go back
- 2:12Speaker 2: to even twelve year old me or eight year old
- 2:15Speaker 2: me would be great, but twelve year old me to
- 2:17Speaker 2: just say hang in there, because you know, twenty twenty six,
- 2:26Speaker 2: they're gonna get around to making a he Man movie
- 2:29Speaker 2: that finally gets it right, and it's gonna look like
- 2:32Speaker 2: something from your childhood. It's going to bring back this
- 2:34Speaker 2: like flood of memories and good times from your childhood
- 2:39Speaker 2: and all that, and you're gonna get to experience that
- 2:42Speaker 2: in your early fifties, Like, you're gonna get to that
- 2:44Speaker 2: and it's gonna be great. You're going to enjoy that
- 2:47Speaker 2: at fifty one. So just be disappointed now and hang
- 2:51Speaker 2: in there, and you'll get your chance one day to
- 2:54Speaker 2: enjoy a movie that looks a lot like the cartoon
- 2:59Speaker 2: that you grew up with and the toys that you
- 3:02Speaker 2: grew up with. Kudos to the folks that finally got
- 3:08Speaker 2: it right. I guess this was like an Amazon deal.
- 3:11Speaker 2: I guess it'll be on Prime later. I know they're
- 3:14Speaker 2: calling this thing a huge flop. I don't know. I
- 3:18Speaker 2: know they had high hopes for this, that it was
- 3:20Speaker 2: going to become, you know, a franchise like and I
- 3:26Speaker 2: hope that maybe they will. I don't know. I know
- 3:30Speaker 2: it wasn't a big certainly not a big win at
- 3:33Speaker 2: the box off. They didn't do great, not what they
- 3:37Speaker 2: were hoping to do. I think it was close though,
- 3:39Speaker 2: to what they anticipated. I do think that it came
- 3:42Speaker 2: pretty close to that. So there's that. But you know,
- 3:48Speaker 2: they were it was a very expensive movie to make.
- 3:50Speaker 2: There were several years of rewriting, and I guess there
- 3:57Speaker 2: were director changes. I don't know. There's a whole story
- 3:59Speaker 2: by hind, the story on all this how it came
- 4:02Speaker 2: to be. But they finally got it together, and they finally,
- 4:07Speaker 2: you know, created this movie, got it made, got it
- 4:10Speaker 2: in theaters, and I think there is an audience for
- 4:15Speaker 2: it to move forward. I don't think they can spend
- 4:17Speaker 2: two hundred million dollars again or whatever it was. I mean,
- 4:21Speaker 2: if you're bringing in like thirty million that opening weekend,
- 4:24Speaker 2: that's not enough to justify it. I wouldn't think. But
- 4:29Speaker 2: you know, there was some little cliffhangers in the post credits.
- 4:34Speaker 2: No spoilers here, but you know, they set things up
- 4:36Speaker 2: to move forward. So maybe they'll get around to that
- 4:40Speaker 2: or find a way to do it. Maybe it's a
- 4:41Speaker 2: straight to prime release or I don't know. I know
- 4:44Speaker 2: it had to be very expensive with a lot of
- 4:46Speaker 2: CGI in it. But it felt like the he Man
- 4:50Speaker 2: that I grew up with as a kid. It felt
- 4:53Speaker 2: like that story, those characters. Was it perfect, No, it
- 5:00Speaker 2: wasn't perfect. Was it a fun summer you know, blockbuster
- 5:06Speaker 2: kind of like you know, over the top, have that feel,
- 5:10Speaker 2: that blockbuster feel to it. In spite of the fact
- 5:13Speaker 2: that it wasn't a huge financial success. Did it do
- 5:17Speaker 2: justice to the cartoons and the comic books and some
- 5:20Speaker 2: of the story?
- 5:21Speaker 1: Yes?
- 5:23Speaker 2: Was it close to perfect for what you would want
- 5:26Speaker 2: in a movie like this, Yes it was.
- 5:29Speaker 1: It was.
- 5:30Speaker 2: I got little to complain about with it. You know,
- 5:33Speaker 2: there were like ten fifteen minutes were dragged a little bit,
- 5:38Speaker 2: but I don't even care. It was you know, ten
- 5:40Speaker 2: or fifteen extra minutes of you know, being an attorneia
- 5:43Speaker 2: and having fun with it. So so kudos to the
- 5:47Speaker 2: people involved with I think they did it justice for
- 5:51Speaker 2: the fans. I've got a very good friend of mine.
- 5:55Speaker 2: He is the voice that you hear at the beginning
- 5:58Speaker 2: of this show and and I guess at the end
- 6:01Speaker 2: of the show. And he's done some incredible voice work
- 6:06Speaker 2: for me over the years. And he is not artificially intelligent.
- 6:10Speaker 2: He is a real human being and fantastic at what
- 6:13Speaker 2: he does. And if you need someone to do voice
- 6:16Speaker 2: work for you, I highly encourage you to reach out
- 6:20Speaker 2: to Joey Williams, and you can reach out to me
- 6:22Speaker 2: to get in touch with him. And if you need
- 6:26Speaker 2: like that voice, great, If you need this voice, I
- 6:28Speaker 2: can do it too. The two of us would be
- 6:30Speaker 2: a great one two punch for you. But Joey a
- 6:33Speaker 2: huge fan of the he man mythos and collectibles and
- 6:38Speaker 2: things he's got, and you know, talking to him right
- 6:41Speaker 2: before I went to see it, and he's like, Man,
- 6:43Speaker 2: you're gonna you're gonna appreciate it. You're gonna enjoy it.
- 6:46Speaker 2: And then afterwards I called him and he was like,
- 6:49Speaker 2: what'd you think? And I was like, it was perfect.
- 6:51Speaker 2: It is exactly what I wanted it to be in
- 6:53Speaker 2: nineteen eighty seven, That's exactly They couldn't have pulled this
- 6:56Speaker 2: off then because of so much CGI. But this is
- 6:59Speaker 2: what I'll I was hoping for back then, and we
- 7:01Speaker 2: finally got it. All right, enough about it, he man,
- 7:04Speaker 2: and you know, disappointing opening, but it is what it is.
- 7:09Speaker 2: Tomorrow is I guess the primary day in Maine. I
- 7:15Speaker 2: know we've kind of been assuming what everybody's been telling
- 7:18Speaker 2: us is that Graham Plattner will be the Democrat nominee.
- 7:22Speaker 2: It certainly seems likely. Are there enough people in Maine
- 7:25Speaker 2: to kind of go, I don't know, I don't know
- 7:28Speaker 2: about this guy. He's he may not be what we
- 7:33Speaker 2: want moving forward, but the and there's a few things
- 7:38Speaker 2: to process and all this so let's go to a
- 7:40Speaker 2: little bit. You know, we've talked about him on the
- 7:42Speaker 2: show that he's got this is the guy with the
- 7:48Speaker 2: Nazi tattoo. Say, he didn't know what it was. He
- 7:50Speaker 2: was drunk. He was drunk when he got it in
- 7:53Speaker 2: Croatia or something, and he had no idea what it was.
- 7:57Speaker 2: He called himself a you know, a history buff and
- 8:03Speaker 2: knows a lot about history, but didn't recognize the Nazi
- 8:06Speaker 2: symbol that was tattooed on his body. For the twenty
- 8:09Speaker 2: years that he had it, walked around either with no
- 8:12Speaker 2: one saying, hey, that's kind of a Nazi thing, or
- 8:15Speaker 2: you know, he just kept it and didn't care. So
- 8:19Speaker 2: I don't know what to think about that. I mean,
- 8:22Speaker 2: I don't know which is worse. If you're just rocking
- 8:24Speaker 2: it and going yep, or you know, hey, you got
- 8:28Speaker 2: a Nazi thing there, maybe you shouldn't uh get rid
- 8:32Speaker 2: of it, and then you know, eventually I guess he did.
- 8:35Speaker 2: I don't know is it worse? I guess I'm asking
- 8:38Speaker 2: is it worse to not know? Or is it worse?
- 8:40Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 8:40Speaker 2: Then rocket, I think I said the same thing twice there,
- 8:42Speaker 2: but you get my point. I don't know. I don't
- 8:45Speaker 2: know what's worse, but as we can sometimes do, we
- 8:49Speaker 2: get a good saying the part you're not supposed to
- 8:53Speaker 2: say out loud. Perspective on this from the view Sonny Houstin,
- 8:59Speaker 2: I always said hosting, but I guess it's Hostin went
- 9:02Speaker 2: into this whole thing about how Platner was a racist,
- 9:05Speaker 2: an anti Semite, a liar, but still we gotta vote
- 9:11Speaker 2: for him. She said, we got to hold our nose
- 9:15Speaker 2: and pull the lever because it's it's more important that
- 9:17Speaker 2: we win the Senate than it is that we not
- 9:20Speaker 2: have a liar, racist and anti semite in the seat
- 9:23Speaker 2: in the Senate. That's the part you're not supposed to
- 9:26Speaker 2: say out loud. You're just not You're supposed to pretend no, no, no, no,
- 9:32Speaker 2: he's changed. He's different. He's a completely different person. These
- 9:37Speaker 2: stories about him grabbing an ex's arm and ripping her
- 9:40Speaker 2: out of a taxi cab that if it was moving
- 9:43Speaker 2: or not moving, I don't, I don't know. There's so
- 9:45Speaker 2: much to this guy, and I think it's just a uh.
- 9:50Speaker 2: It's this idea that it's just more important to win
- 9:57Speaker 2: than it is to win with integrity. That's that's the thing.
- 10:02Speaker 2: Isn't it. And I know you got some folks on
- 10:05Speaker 2: the left they try to say, well Trump did this
- 10:07Speaker 2: and that, and the left of this con job of
- 10:13Speaker 2: how can we we want to label the president a
- 10:16Speaker 2: felon so that way, you know, nobody will re elect him,
- 10:20Speaker 2: nobody will want to And they even threw that around, Hey,
- 10:23Speaker 2: he's the president's a felon. We got to get somebody
- 10:26Speaker 2: in the Senate. We got to take over the Senate
- 10:28Speaker 2: so we can keep him in check since he's a felon,
- 10:31Speaker 2: it convicted felon. In all these talks, and again, when
- 10:35Speaker 2: you're you know, absolutely bending and at times I think
- 10:42Speaker 2: maybe not quite breaking the law, but stretching it so
- 10:45Speaker 2: far that you just do whatever you can do to
- 10:48Speaker 2: label him this. You know, we went through this whole
- 10:51Speaker 2: thing where he got impeached twice on these ridiculous charges
- 10:56Speaker 2: and no chance of him actually being convicted. But I
- 11:00Speaker 2: just wanted to hang that on him. So again, it's
- 11:03Speaker 2: more important to go through some of that so that
- 11:06Speaker 2: you have these things that you can later say, well,
- 11:08Speaker 2: it's okay if we elect a liar, a racist, and
- 11:13Speaker 2: an anti Semite to the US Senate, because we just
- 11:17Speaker 2: got to get control. We got to get Susan Collins
- 11:20Speaker 2: out of there. That's the most important thing. And the
- 11:22Speaker 2: other thing that I thought was interesting is Houstin was
- 11:26Speaker 2: throwing the stat around where she said fifty one percent
- 11:29Speaker 2: of the people of Maine said that they would vote
- 11:33Speaker 2: for him over Susan Collins versus I guess the other
- 11:37Speaker 2: candidate for the nomination, it would be forty two percent
- 11:43Speaker 2: that they would vote for or whatever it is. And
- 11:45Speaker 2: I thought that was, like, we're it's not even a
- 11:49Speaker 2: slam dunk. And I think that fifty one percent comes
- 11:53Speaker 2: at a time before every like all this new information
- 11:56Speaker 2: has come out about him. It's the equivalent of the
- 12:00Speaker 2: October surprise, you know, like during a presidential cycle, to
- 12:05Speaker 2: have this early June primary surprise or this late May surprise.
- 12:12Speaker 2: But the thing is, there's a lot of things about
- 12:14Speaker 2: this guy that weren't surprises. I mean not there should
- 12:19Speaker 2: be no shock about who this guy is or what
- 12:23Speaker 2: he potentially is. They feel like, hey, he can win,
- 12:28Speaker 2: and that's all that matters. That's the whole focus that
- 12:32Speaker 2: they think matters is whether or not he can win
- 12:34Speaker 2: and whether or not he can keep Trump in check
- 12:37Speaker 2: or whatever it is. It's this ridiculous. And let me
- 12:44Speaker 2: also say this, because we talked about this a little bit,
- 12:46Speaker 2: that there is a clause you can go back to
- 12:48Speaker 2: listen to I think it was Thursday Show. There is
- 12:53Speaker 2: a clause that says that if he gets the nomination,
- 13:00Speaker 2: they could in fact ultimately remove him from the ticket
- 13:06Speaker 2: and give it to someone else. Now, I don't know
- 13:08Speaker 2: if they're required to give it to the other candidate
- 13:12Speaker 2: whoever finishes in second place in that situation, or is
- 13:17Speaker 2: this one of those deals where they do then get
- 13:20Speaker 2: to hand pick a candidate and figure out who they
- 13:23Speaker 2: think would be the best person there. I don't know
- 13:25Speaker 2: if they're currently have people moving to Maine. I don't
- 13:28Speaker 2: know what they're doing. But that's been the mo already.
- 13:31Speaker 2: We've already seen them do this for President of the
- 13:35Speaker 2: United States while screaming, you know from the rooftops, Republicans
- 13:41Speaker 2: and Donald Trump are trying to take away democracy, and
- 13:44Speaker 2: we're going to take away your ability to vote on
- 13:46Speaker 2: who the Democrat nominee is. You've already cast your votes,
- 13:52Speaker 2: you've cast your ballots. Joe Biden is your pick, but
- 13:56Speaker 2: we're going to force him out, and then we're going
- 13:58Speaker 2: to pick who we think should be the nominee, and
- 14:02Speaker 2: we're going to hand it to the person that we
- 14:03Speaker 2: think you're going to vote for, as you know, this
- 14:06Speaker 2: biracial woman that we're gonna like she's the VP. Nobody
- 14:11Speaker 2: really wanted her anyway. I stress that all the time.
- 14:15Speaker 2: I've had people tell me before that, uh yeah, a
- 14:19Speaker 2: big part of why I voted Democrat was because she
- 14:22Speaker 2: was the VP pig And I was like, would you
- 14:24Speaker 2: have voted for anybody else? Well? No, but well then
- 14:28Speaker 2: you didn't vote for her, Like don't let's don't pretend.
- 14:32Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sorry, but you're full of it if
- 14:34Speaker 2: you tell me that the Biden Harris ticket for you
- 14:39Speaker 2: was the real Like she's the one who got you
- 14:44Speaker 2: to vote for him in the primary. There was absolutely
- 14:49Speaker 2: no interest in her when she was running against Biden
- 14:53Speaker 2: and called him a racist and a sexist and all
- 14:56Speaker 2: these things. So there was no interest in her. She
- 14:58Speaker 2: drops out, and then they'd side, well, we got to
- 15:01Speaker 2: pick a black woman, and then they do a biracial,
- 15:06Speaker 2: you know, black an Indian woman and they go, this
- 15:09Speaker 2: is this is our pick, even though Jill Biden didn't
- 15:12Speaker 2: want her. And then they said this is the pick,
- 15:14Speaker 2: this is who we're going to get, and then you know,
- 15:16Speaker 2: but I've covered all that. I think it's the useful
- 15:19Speaker 2: idiot syndrome. I think that's the reason Harris got the
- 15:22Speaker 2: nominee for president. I think that's the reason she picked
- 15:26Speaker 2: Walls for vice president, a more useful idiot than even her.
- 15:30Speaker 2: And we've seen some things playing out in you know,
- 15:34Speaker 2: Minnesota there letting us see all of that play out.
- 15:38Speaker 2: So yeah, I think this is what they maybe want.
- 15:41Speaker 2: Maybe they I think they think Platner can win. If
- 15:43Speaker 2: it starts to look like he can't, they'll bump him
- 15:45Speaker 2: off the ticket. They'll get somebody else in there that
- 15:48Speaker 2: they think like without any votes, you know, they can
- 15:54Speaker 2: pick somebody else they got like two weeks or maybe
- 15:56Speaker 2: they have to have some special election. I don't know.
- 15:59Speaker 2: I don't know what they'll do. They'll find a way
- 16:00Speaker 2: to kind of wedge somebody in there, probably not the
- 16:05Speaker 2: person who's in second place, and see if they can't
- 16:08Speaker 2: make it happen. But I think they still think this
- 16:10Speaker 2: guy can win. And I think they're selling their souls
- 16:12Speaker 2: to the devil if they're putting all of their eggs
- 16:15Speaker 2: in the Grand Platinir basket, But we'll find out how
- 16:17Speaker 2: this plays out tomorrow. Today's show brought to you by

- 18:40Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 18:43Speaker 2: to be, and you need some repair work done to
- 18:45Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 18:48Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 18:52Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
- 18:55Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 18:59Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 19:02Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 19:05Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 19:07Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 19:11Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 19:14Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 19:16Speaker 2: you just want a little man caved. You'd like to
- 19:18Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 19:20Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 19:23Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 19:26Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 19:28Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
- 19:31Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
- 19:35Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thorty five eight forty five

- 19:41Speaker 2: o dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
- 19:45Speaker 2: after the break. There was a time when people hated cubicles.
- 20:00Speaker 2: The thought of working in an office space and having
- 20:03Speaker 2: to be in a cubicle. People just hated them. And
- 20:07Speaker 2: it turns out now people are actually kind of taking
- 20:10Speaker 2: some of that hate back, or maybe just cubicles in
- 20:13Speaker 2: general are getting a little bit of a comeback as
- 20:18Speaker 2: this whole idea of open offices with people realizing that
- 20:22Speaker 2: that is not functional at all for many people. I
- 20:29Speaker 2: worked in a building where we all, almost all of
- 20:32Speaker 2: us had separate offices. I guess by the end everybody
- 20:34Speaker 2: had their own office, and you know, there were more
- 20:37Speaker 2: offices and we had people really but we were in
- 20:40Speaker 2: a situation where I guess before like the final cutback
- 20:44Speaker 2: started to come in and there was talk then about
- 20:47Speaker 2: we're going to do this open office format. It's going
- 20:51Speaker 2: to be great, everybody's going to love it. And I
- 20:54Speaker 2: don't do well at all in that format. I don't,
- 20:57Speaker 2: you know. I would do my job, I would get
- 21:00Speaker 2: my job done and hit my goals and complete all
- 21:03Speaker 2: of my tasks. I just didn't want to sit in
- 21:06Speaker 2: a big room where people are walking up and small
- 21:09Speaker 2: talk is not something I'm a fan of. Small talk
- 21:11Speaker 2: is not something that I have time for in my day.
- 21:15Speaker 2: While I made some friends over the years at work,
- 21:20Speaker 2: there were many people that were work associates and acquaintances,
- 21:23Speaker 2: and we've all moved on, and that's fine. I had
- 21:27Speaker 2: no intentions of keeping lifelong friendships with some of the
- 21:30Speaker 2: people that I worked with, and it hasn't hurt my feelings.
- 21:34Speaker 2: I hope I haven't hurt theirs. But I didn't go
- 21:36Speaker 2: out of my way to spend time sitting in their
- 21:39Speaker 2: offices staring at them, and I certainly wouldn't have wanted
- 21:42Speaker 2: an open format where they could just walk up and
- 21:45Speaker 2: you know, boy, what are you doing this weekend? That's
- 21:48Speaker 2: not for me. And apparently I'm not the only one,
- 21:51Speaker 2: because people are struggling to get work done. People working
- 21:57Speaker 2: at home during the pandemic got very used to having
- 22:00Speaker 2: their own space, and then they get back into work
- 22:03Speaker 2: and people want them to be in open formats and
- 22:06Speaker 2: suddenly privacies out the window and they feel like something
- 22:10Speaker 2: that many employees want to have. So cubicles are making
- 22:15Speaker 2: this big comeback. No they're not fancy, No they look
- 22:19Speaker 2: boring when you just see those images of them in
- 22:22Speaker 2: hallways and things. But the reality here is if you're
- 22:26Speaker 2: trying to get people to come back to work, you're
- 22:29Speaker 2: probably gonna have a hard time enticing them to come
- 22:32Speaker 2: back to work in an office if they're going to
- 22:34Speaker 2: be in one of these open formats. People are really
- 22:40Speaker 2: really used to some privacy and some quiet time away
- 22:44Speaker 2: from people. So just know that whenever you are alone
- 22:50Speaker 2: in a quiet room and there's no noise and then
- 22:53Speaker 2: there's like a low humming sound that seems like no
- 22:56Speaker 2: one else can hear. Well, there's an estimated two to
- 22:59Speaker 2: four percent of people who experience what is known as
- 23:01Speaker 2: the hum phenomenon, a distant engine, a low rumble, even
- 23:05Speaker 2: a vibration that you can feel. For some, it's bad
- 23:07Speaker 2: enough to disrupt their sleep and daily life. Now, scientists
- 23:11Speaker 2: say there may not be just one explanation for it.
- 23:15Speaker 2: In some cases, the sound could be real low frequency
- 23:19Speaker 2: noises that come from things like industrial equipment or infrastructure
- 23:23Speaker 2: that only certain people can detect. In many cases, researchers
- 23:26Speaker 2: think it might come from inside the body, a form
- 23:29Speaker 2: of low frequency tenatus or unusually sensitive hearing. This is
- 23:34Speaker 2: Georgia Tech story. Scientists that Georgia Tech have invented a
- 23:37Speaker 2: new mobile app called Cobalt that lets anyone control a
- 23:41Speaker 2: real robot arm from anywhere on Earth using their smartphone.
- 23:45Speaker 2: Users don't need any tech experience. Instead, they just move
- 23:48Speaker 2: the phone around and the robot arm thousands of miles
- 23:52Speaker 2: away will instantly mirror the exact hand movements. It even
- 23:56Speaker 2: has simple buttons on the screen to let users grab, move,
- 23:59Speaker 2: and release objects, making it feel just like a mobile
- 24:03Speaker 2: video game. The researchers envision a future where this creates
- 24:07Speaker 2: a new gay economy, kind of like Uber for robots,
- 24:11Speaker 2: where people could log into the app from their couch
- 24:13Speaker 2: and get paid to remotely control a robot helper to
- 24:16Speaker 2: wash dishes, full laundry for someone on the other side
- 24:20Speaker 2: of the planet, maybe even in a cubicle that'll do it.
