  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, twentieth day of December. I'm Wes, Thanks for
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: joining me. We are rolling into what is for most
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: final day of school before the Christmas holidays, big travel
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: day today. Many that are going to be driving somewhere
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: maybe for Christmas might be beginning that journey this afternoon
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: after school. Some may be deciding to forego school all
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: together today and keep the kids out and get a
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: head start, get a jump on things. Probably smart from
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: a travel sense as far as your transport. Maybe not
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: smart for your kid if they need the time. Sorry,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I'm popping a cough drop. I still have a nagging,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: little tickle cough that just won't quite go away. But yes,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: we'll be grabbing the kids from school today, maybe even
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: checking them out early, getting on the road. Any of
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: those things may be playing out or you know, possibly
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: ending up on a plane. That could happen as well.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: We did that a few years four years ago actually
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: around this time, as we made our way to Australia
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: for the holidays, and we did that right before COVID happened.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Still very thankful that we were able to get our
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: trip in before the world went crazy. I mean, it
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: was still kind of going crazy, and it's still kind
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: of is crazy. It's sad, and it's you know, there's
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: all these things that kind of weigh down on us heavily.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: But I do like to try to remind you from
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: time to time there's a lot of good in the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: world as well. There's a lot of good. We don't
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: have to constantly be bogged down with it. We hear
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: all these people that stress about who the president is
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: or who the president's going to be. Realistically, we put
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: more emphasis on who's in the White House then we
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: really need to. I know that for some there's a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: sense of optimism because we've had, you know, four years
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: of our economy doing really bad things, and we're looking
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: forward to maybe getting things back to where they were
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: five years ago. I get it. I understand that. But
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: there are people who don't like who's coming back into
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the White House. And to them, I say, it's gonna
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: be okay. If nothing else, you don't have to see
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump run for president again, this will be the
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: end of all of that. And you know, I know
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: you're gonna say, well, I got to get through these
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: four years. But after the four years, it's an opportunity
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: to move on to something else. Now I understand, based
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: on history, based on recent history, whoever the next Republican
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: candidate will be for president, If it's JD. Vance, if
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: it's someone else, Ron DeSantis, whoever, they will be the
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: most evil person that's ever lived. We'll move on from Trump.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: George W. Bush was once the most evil person that
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: ever lived. And he was hit and he was terrible,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: and he was just the absolute worst. And you know,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: now it's Donald Trump. Theylways talk about it being DeSantis
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: because the people were worried that if they could push
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Trump out and keep him out of the race, that
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: DeSantis would be the worst. But just reminding you, this
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: is a time where we can the very least just
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: think about what we have, think about what we want
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to where we'd like to see things go moving forward
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: for us personally, it doesn't have to Everything doesn't have
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: to be about the agenda of a political party. You're
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: allowed to sit back and have your own personal goals.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: You're allowed to start thinking about I'm probably going to
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: eat too much in the next week or so, and
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: start thinking about how you're going to try to lose
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: that weight in the new year, and any sort of
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: resolutions you might have. You can take time, especially with
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the kids getting out of school. Spend some time with
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: your kids if you've got them, spend them time with
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the grandkids. Spend some time with your family if they're
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: going to be visiting. Spend some time focusing on yourself
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: if that's what you want to do. Spend some time
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: focusing on your faith. It's a lot of things that
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: you can do. When people tell me, oh my gosh,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the world is so horrible, I just have to remind
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: them when I know them to be someone who believes
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: in a God who's in control. Let's take a few
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: minutes and do that, at least in the holiday season,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: right over the Christmas break. I mean, just take some
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: time to remember that it's not Things are going to
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: be okay. You know. I know it's frustrating, and I
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: know we have you know, shootings and schools, and we
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: have an economy that's got a lot of people having
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: to make tough decisions and choices. But just know that
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: it's going to be okay. We're going to get through
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: all of this together. That's what we're going to that's
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: what we do. That's what we're going to do. And
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I do occasionally have to remind myself to stay positive
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and optimistic about things. So as you're getting ready maybe
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: to travel, you're getting ready to spend time with family,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: just remember best to not bring up some of these things.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Some of the politics. You can bring up the positive stuff.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Just don't bring up the issues that are going to be,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: you know, fodder for fights and arguments and it's not
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: worth your time. Just enjoy each other, Maybe work on
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: a puzzle together. There's no politics when you're working on
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: a puzzle. You're just trying to find where that eyeball
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: is or whatever, So you can do that. Maybe, all right,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: let's it's Friday. It's the final show before we go
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: into what will be our break next week. We'll take
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the week off here on the show, and I know
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: many of you'll be traveling. And if you're not traveling
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and you're hoping to hear the show next week, maybe
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: it's a chance to go back and get caught up
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: on some of your shows maybe you missed. Maybe check
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: out one of my other podcasts, I've Got Made of Stars,

  Speaker 2: into just weird comedy and that's the best way to
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: describe it, you can check out the n QLN podcast
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: that we do on Monday. So there's a couple of
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: other options for you if you want to check those
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: out while we're not doing a show here next week,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: but we'll be back the following week, ready to roll
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: in a brand new twenty twenty five with some of
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: that optimism and positivity I was talking about. It's Friday.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: This is when we do strange and bizarre news from
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: around the world. We'll see how many of these we
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: can get in over the next few minutes. How about
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: this story. You know you've been in a movie theater,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: probably maybe not lately, but you've been in one before,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: and you know, people like to leave they litter in there.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: You feel like it's not littering because there's people that
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: come in and clean it up, but it's still littering.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Even when you litter in public, there's someone usually that
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: cleans it up. Or I mean maybe not around Columbus,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: but there are people that will sometimes litter and they
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: do it inside and it is technically littering when you
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: just leave all your trash laying around inside of business.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: But yeah, there's people there to do it to clean
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: it up. Well, how about this they you know, maybe
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: you don't want to leave behind some things. If you're
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: leaving your litter behind, you don't want to leave your
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: phone or your car keys, or in this case in Wisconsin,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: someone left behind a deceased loved one's remains. Theatre in
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin finds all sorts of lost items, but yeah, finding
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: an urn with ashes inside probably would be the most memorable.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: The theater initially kept the earn and It's Lost and found,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: expecting its owner to come rushing back to retrieve it.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: When that didn't happen for a few weeks, the theater
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: turned it over to police, who were now trying to
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: find the owner. They're asking for the public's help, hoping
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: that word will get out to whoever it belongs to.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Let me just throw this out as a possible theory
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: on all of this, maybe their deceased loved one really
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: liked movies and they felt like, if we can just
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: leave them in the movie theater, they can enjoy movies forever.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Maybe that was the thinking. I don't know, I don't
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: really know how any of that works, but I think
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: that's a possible idea, isn't it. Visitors at a zoo
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: in Australia were puzzled last week when workers conducted a
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: surprise animal escape drill and didn't tell anybody. Officials at
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the Rockhampton Zoo have held escape drills before, but never
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: during operating hours with guests in the park. The drill
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: featured zoo staff and shields chasing after an escaped Ostriche. Sorry,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: the staff with shields escaped Ostriche not a real Ostrich.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: The role was played by zoo's director, who ran around
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the park dressed like an Ostrich while being pursued by
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: the staff, which confused a lot of people when they
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: saw someone running around dressed as an Ostrich. All those
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: people in Rocky. The zoo issued a statement explaining the
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: exercise was kept a complete surprise, with staff only realizing
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: that it was a drill after it began. It was
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: also a surprise to zoogoers on the day who were
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: able to see the training and action, with some even
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: getting to take part. The staff communicated well, followed procedures,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: and safely returned the fake Ostriche to the enclosure. So
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: there you go. Chinese man fell forty feet down and
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: abandoned well and suffered some pretty bad injuries, but felt
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: good about his chances of being rescued because he knew
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: there were plenty of people around to hear his cries
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: for help. He was kind of right about that. Twenty
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: two year old Lou Chennaiyi, suffering a broken wrist and
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: concussion when he fell down the well. He immediately began
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: calling out for help, assuming people in the village would
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: get him out quickly, but that never happened. He ended
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: up trapped underground for three days, not because the villagers
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: didn't hear his cries for help, but because they heard
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: it and believed that they were hearing a ghost. Well Eventually,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: right villagers so afraid that they stayed away from his location.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: It wasn't until one person decided to call the police
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: to investigate the ghostly noise coming from the woods. Officers
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: stumbled upon where he had fallen in saw Lou at
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: the bottom of the well in terrible condition with no
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: food or water, managed to pull him out, take him
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: to the hospital, and treat his injuries. I mean, that
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: would have been one of those self fulfilling prophecies, right,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: if he died down there and then haunted the well
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: in the area. But interesting that the first assumption that
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: they had was ghost, not hey, someone might be in danger.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's kind of bad, right, that they didn't
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: assume that maybe someone was in trouble. A drunk driver
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: in Colorado caused a multi vehicle crash and told police
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: not to be concerned about his drunkenness because he's a
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: professional drinker. Well that's an excuse. When officers arrived at
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: the scene, they imediately found the visibly intoxicated driver and
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: asked how many drinks he had consumed. The unidentified driver
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: responded that he had probably ten drinks and said, I'm
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: going to tell you right now, like I'm a professional drinker.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Officers made him take a breathalyzer test and recorded a
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: blood alcohol hall level of a three sorry point three
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: two six that's four times over the legal limit. He
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: was quickly placed under arrest. Fortunately, no one was seriously
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: injured in the crash. Well, it's because he's a professional.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, someone easily could have gotten injured, but he's
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: a professional drinker, and that makes all the difference. It's
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: kind of like being a stunt man, right, but with drinking,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: or one of those professional eaters, those guys who eat
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: all the hot dogs. A couple of jewelry thieves in
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Washington State led police on a wild pursuit that included
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: multiple modes of transportation and ultimately ended in a leaky rowboat.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Sounds like an episode of Andy Griffith, doesn't it. I
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: think it kind of was a man and a woman
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: stole eleven thousand dollars worth of jewelry and it was
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: in a shipping container, and they fled in an suv.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: A witness called nine to one one to report the theft,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: and police began their pursuit. They came upon an suv
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: that had been in a rollover crash, but found no
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: one inside. Then deputies looked around and saw the couple
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: fleeing on foot. They eventually headed to the bay, where
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: they stole a row boat and attempted to paddle away. Unfortunately,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the boat began taking on water and was sinking, unfortunately
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: for them, but not for the police right so the
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: thieves had to ditch the boat swamed ashore, where they
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: were quickly arrested. It's unclear if the stolen jewelry had
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: been recovered, or do they drop it at the bottom
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: of the sea. Spoiler alert Like at the end of Titanic,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: It's only kind of like an Andy Griffith episode, except
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: remember he told the guy indirectly where the boat was
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: so he could get captured. Chimneys get a lot of
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: attention this time. Of year thanks to Sanna, who you
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: know comes down the chimney. But he's not the only
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: one who goes down the chimney. A Massachusetts man wanted
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: on drug charges tried to hide from police as they
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: executed a search warrant at a home. So he got an
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: idea he would climb up on the roof shimmy down
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: the chimney until they left. Unfortunately for him, he got
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: stuck and needed to call the officers to rescue him.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's a ghost. He was eventually pulled out of
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: the chimney and placed under arrest for multiple drug offenses.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Another wanted man inside the house was able to flee
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: the sea. See that guy did the smart thing. He
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: just fled instead of you know, crawling down in a
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: chimney and getting stuck and being a ghost. Residents of Bend, Oregon,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: appear to have a great sense of humor, even as
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: city officials try to be a buzzkill. Many of the
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: city's statues and sculptures have recently been adorned with a
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: pair of googly eyes, the apparent work of a prankster
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: or multiple pranksters. The work has drawn a lot of laughs,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: but not from city officials who just want it to stop.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: A post on the city's Instagram page, reading while the
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: googly eye is placed on various art pieces around town
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: might give you a chuckle. It costs money to remove
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: them with care as to not damage the art. While
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: we don't condone the wreaths, lays, and Santa hats, let's
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: stay away from the adhesives, graffiti and all things that
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: can damage the art. The city claims the Google guye
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: removal has already cost the city fifteen hundred dollars. If
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: you do go to a Dragon Con, the popular arts
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: convention in Atlanta every Labor Day weekend, you'll know that
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: googly eyes are a big part of that convention, and
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: they're stuck on all sorts of things over the course
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: of the weekend. So if they're really looking to get
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: to the bottom of who might be doing it, maybe
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: check and see who's been Atlanta over Labor Day weekend
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: over the past year or two. That might point you
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: in the right direction. Not that I'm trying to, you know,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: dob them in. I don't want to do that. I'm
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: just saying, knowing how much Dragon con attendees love the
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: googly eyes me included. I didn't stick them on anything.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I'm just pointing out that that could possibly be an
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: area for them to investigate. Today's show brought to you
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: career holders that really of all ages. I mean they
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: do it for school age kids as school age kids
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also
• 16:44

  Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get

  Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.

  Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: there you can always ask them questions about some of
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: want it to be and you need some repair work
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: of installation issue that you've got with colder, warmer weather,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: looking at a situation where you'd like to add a
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: screen door to your garage door system that you can
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: put down and you can use your garage space as
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: like to work on your own cars in there, or
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd like
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: to be able to open the door up and not
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: invite all the insects in. They can do that for
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, And they do
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five

  Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show right
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: after the break Well, they're calling them virtual reality, but
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I kind of almost think they're wasting an opportunity just
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: to call them smart. Scientists at the City University of
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Hong Kong have developed a lollipop shaped device that can
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: simulate nine different flavors. They've created what they're calling virtual
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: reality lollipops that use safe, low power electrical signals to
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: transport flavor chemicals to the tongue, all with the goal
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: of making virtual reality more real by allowing users to
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: taste what they see in their virtual environments. It's a
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: step in that direction. I understand that's why they're calling
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: them virtual reality, But in a way, it's just kind
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: of a smart lollipop. Isn't it to be able to
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: change the flavors? But could be a big step for
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: virtual reality, so and a little scary, and you know,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: could also be something for bringing a taste to you
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: if they can be really specific from maybe if you've
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: moved away from home in your favorite restaurant. I mean,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: if there's ways to tweak this, there's a lot of
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: potential for this down the line. According to a new
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: study from University College London, thirty minutes of moderate to
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: vigorous exercise, along with sleeping at least six to six
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: or so hours a night, goes a long way toward
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: improved brain functions the next day, and it doesn't take much.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Researchers found that simple stuff like a brisk walk or
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: cycling can significantly boost cognitive function. Nothing new, I don't think,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: but just a reinforcement that we should be getting a
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: decent amount of sleep every night and getting some sort
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: of vigorous or moderate at least exercise. Engineers in China
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: have developed a new crime fighting gadget for police, RoboCop
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: bowling balls. The robots resembling large balls, are equipped with
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: cameras and sensors that detect criminal activity and alert human
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: officers if they sense anything suspicious. While these things are
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: mostly designed to deter crime, they can also be equipped
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: with non fatal police gear like net guns, tear gas sprayers, grenades, loudspeakers,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: and sound wave dispersal devices. All right, China, if you're
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: going to start this that we have to have a
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: discussion about what we all know is potentially a bad thing, right,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: This whole idea of you know, robots taken over the world.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: We gotta be careful, right. A British phone company, Virgin
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Media two, has created an AI character named Daisy that
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: is designed to outsmart phone scammers by wasting their time. Daisy,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: who sounds like a grandma, holds lifelike conversations with scammers,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: keeping them on the line line for as long as possible,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: in some cases up to forty minutes. With a warm
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: and relatable grandmotherly personality, they talk about everything from her
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: family to her knitting hobbies, even providing fake personal information
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: to frustrate the person on the other end of the line.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: This is great. Some people do this on their own,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: you know, just people do this and they pretend to
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: be you know, elderly people that scammers get very excited
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: about the opportunity to try to scam. So I like this,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: this is a great idea. And I've seen some video
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: of this, and the scammers get very very angry. They
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: don't like you wasting their time. They are trying to
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: get as much money from as many people as possible
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: for themselves or for their supervisors or whatever. That that's
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: what their goal is and if you're wasting their time,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: they don't appreciate it. So a VR granny who can
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: waste their time is pretty amazing. The world's most expensive
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: dinosaur fossil, a stegosaur skeleton, nicknamed Apex, is currently on
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: display at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: The one hundred and fifty million year old fossil, bought
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: for a staggering forty four point six million dollars by
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: billionaire Kenneth C. Griffin, is one of the most complete
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: specimens ever found, and luckily for everyone interested in seeing
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: the prehistoric marvel, Apex will be on public display for
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: four years there. So if you're going maybe to the
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: New York area for the holidays, you get an opportunity
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: maybe to go to the American Museum of Natural History
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: check out Apex right there, live and in person. It's
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: pretty cool. It's good stuff.
• 24:54
