0:01
Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:05
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:08
Speaker 2: Friday morning, thirteenth day of December. Oh, Friday the thirteenth.
0:16
Speaker 2: Not as bad as Monday the thirteenth, though we've covered this.
0:19
Speaker 2: It would be way worse if it were Monday the thirteenth.
0:22
Speaker 2: At least it's Friday, at least the weekend's here. Probably
0:26
Speaker 2: going to do some Christmas shopping this weekend, I would
0:29
Speaker 2: guess maybe that's on your agenda. We're getting getting down
0:32
Speaker 2: to cases, as they say, getting ready to make the
0:37
Speaker 2: miracles happen. So this is the weekend for that, so
0:41
Speaker 2: or one of the weekends. You got a couple of
0:42
Speaker 2: weekends left, and then it's here. I mean, we are,
0:45
Speaker 2: you know, twelve days out. That's where we're at, twelve
0:48
Speaker 2: days of Christmas. Baby, Start buying them birds. You don't
0:51
Speaker 2: have to buy them in the order. You don't have
0:53
Speaker 2: to buy the partridge first, you don't. You could go
0:56
Speaker 2: with the geese as long as they're a laying. You
0:59
Speaker 2: can start in any doesn't matter, long as you get
1:02
Speaker 2: all the birds. Enough with the birds, Just get the birds.
1:08
Speaker 2: Last night we had the hooding ceremony for Columbus State
1:10
Speaker 2: University's graduation. Thanks again to them for letting me be
1:15
Speaker 2: part of that. I'll be part of today's regular graduation
1:17
Speaker 2: ceremony also for the hooded people are also invited to
1:21
Speaker 2: walk today, but for folks that are graduating without their
1:26
Speaker 2: masters or getting the doctoral candidates. So I'm looking forward
1:31
Speaker 2: to that and I appreciate them letting me be part
1:33
Speaker 2: of that every year. It is an honor. It is
1:36
Speaker 2: something that I enjoy doing. It's one of those things
1:39
Speaker 2: that you either run away from the thought of it
1:42
Speaker 2: like most people, or there's a handful of us that
1:44
Speaker 2: run to a task like this, appreciate the challenge and
1:49
Speaker 2: trying to get those names right, trying to do the
1:51
Speaker 2: best we can. That's what we want to do. We
1:53
Speaker 2: just want to get the names right because you want
1:56
Speaker 2: to hear your name, your family wants to hear your name,
2:00
Speaker 2: and you know, potentially their surname right, and then your
2:03
Speaker 2: friends want to be able to celebrate you, and you
2:05
Speaker 2: just want the idiot down there reading the names to
2:08
Speaker 2: get it right. That's me. I'm that idiot. Yesterday, yesterday
2:15
Speaker 2: the New York Stock Exchange opened with the Man of
2:20
Speaker 2: the Year. That's right, the Man of the Year. We
2:25
Speaker 2: talked about or the Person of the Year. But he's
2:27
Speaker 2: a man, so you can say Man of the Year.
2:29
Speaker 2: But I guess the PC woke thing is to say
2:32
Speaker 2: person of the year. Time Magazine's Person of the Year.
2:35
Speaker 2: We told you last week they were down to their finalist.
2:37
Speaker 2: We told you who some of them were, and I
2:40
Speaker 2: had no inside or info. I just felt like it
2:43
Speaker 2: had to be the President of Electnald Trump. I mean,
2:46
Speaker 2: that had to be. Who else was going to win
2:48
Speaker 2: it out of that list of potential candidates. Seems pretty
2:52
Speaker 2: obvious to me. You know, the comeback story of my
2:58
Speaker 2: lifetime in a political capacity, maybe the biggest political comeback
3:03
Speaker 2: of all time. I know there were people saying that
3:05
Speaker 2: it seemed a little hyperbolic, but I don't know of
3:08
Speaker 2: one that was bigger. I mean, you can make a
3:12
Speaker 2: case Nixon, but I don't think even that was quite
3:15
Speaker 2: this much of a comeback. This is pretty remarkable. And
3:18
Speaker 2: yesterday he opened the Stock Exchange and nice celebration, nice
3:23
Speaker 2: spike of the football, if you will, for him being
3:27
Speaker 2: awarded the Person of the Year, following Taylor Swift from
3:31
Speaker 2: last year. What an interesting shift in gears from Taylor
3:36
Speaker 2: Swift to the president elect, the former president, the president elect.
3:41
Speaker 2: I'm ready for him to get sworn in so I
3:43
Speaker 2: can stop having to say all that. He'll just be
3:45
Speaker 2: president again. I mean, technically, you say President Clinton, President Obama.
3:50
Speaker 2: You know you mentioned them by a president. Well, he's
3:53
Speaker 2: still president, but you mentioned them by name, because that's
3:55
Speaker 2: the highest honor that they've earned, that's the highest title
3:58
Speaker 2: that they've gotten. So I'm just ready to stop saying
4:00
Speaker 2: president elect and get back to president. And that's like
4:03
Speaker 2: a little over a month away. So what else do
4:07
Speaker 2: we Oh? One more thing concerning the current president. Biden
4:11
Speaker 2: granting clemency to fifteen hundred people, all of them non
4:15
Speaker 2: violent offenders, in the largest I guess act of clemency done.
4:24
Speaker 2: It says that the fifteen one hundred, twelve hundred of
4:27
Speaker 2: them were named Biden. No, no, that's not true. I
4:30
Speaker 2: made that part up. It was only eleven hundred named Biden.
4:37
Speaker 2: Anybody that's named Biden that has ever worked for or
4:42
Speaker 2: been affiliated with a company in Ukraine, you know, just
4:48
Speaker 2: to be clear, it's not eleven hundred. It's not quite
4:50
Speaker 2: that many people. It's Friday, and Friday means time to
4:55
Speaker 2: dive into some strange and bizarre news from around the world.
5:01
Speaker 2: We got a couple stories here that have a little
5:06
Speaker 2: bit of the double entendre kind of stuff to it,
5:08
Speaker 2: at least that feel to it. And then some are
5:11
Speaker 2: just right there when you lay out what the story is.
5:17
Speaker 2: You're familiar with yellow snow. How about brown snow? Well
5:20
Speaker 2: Residents in Rumford, Maine being advised to stay away from
5:23
Speaker 2: brown snow. A snowfall earlier in the week covered the
5:28
Speaker 2: town in a layer of brown snow. Officials say it
5:30
Speaker 2: was a malfunction at a local paper mill, which sent
5:35
Speaker 2: a byproduct of the paper production product billowing into the
5:40
Speaker 2: air and mixed in with the snow. And as they
5:43
Speaker 2: say that the brown snow is not toxic, it could
5:46
Speaker 2: irritate your skin if you touch it. Children told not
5:49
Speaker 2: to play in the brown snow. Dog owners are advised
5:51
Speaker 2: to keep their pets away from it. See what I mean?
5:54
Speaker 2: It sounds like we're talking about one thing when you
5:56
Speaker 2: talk about brown snow and yellow snow, but we're really
5:59
Speaker 2: talking about out something else. Here's another one, California highway
6:03
Speaker 2: they're calling the Hershey Highway. See that means something else.
6:08
Speaker 2: It means something less literal normally you know the old
6:13
Speaker 2: Hershey Highway. In this case it means literal California Highway.
6:20
Speaker 2: Over the weekend had a truck that caught fire and
6:24
Speaker 2: it covered the roadway in more than thirty pounds of
6:26
Speaker 2: melted chocolate. Investigators say a mechanical issue with the trucks
6:30
Speaker 2: break breaks likely caused the fire. Firefighters arrived at the
6:34
Speaker 2: scene and extinguished the large blaze, but the chocolate had
6:37
Speaker 2: all melted and was flowing across the road. Luckily, no
6:42
Speaker 2: one was hurt and the driver was able to get
6:44
Speaker 2: out of the truck in time. Clean Up took several hours.
6:50
Speaker 2: You could get about, you know, twelve or so four
6:54
Speaker 2: year olds, and I think they'd clean that up pretty quickly.
6:57
Speaker 2: I don't think it would be very difficult. I think
6:59
Speaker 2: they would get done. They'd get the job done. The
7:01
Speaker 2: chocolate would be gone, they'd be a mess, but the
7:04
Speaker 2: chocolate would be dealt with. Queen Elizabeth spent seventy years
7:08
Speaker 2: sitting on the throne. Ironically, it's thrown at a school
7:11
Speaker 2: named in her honor that has caused classes to be
7:14
Speaker 2: canceled for two days. The Queen Elizabeth Public School in
7:19
Speaker 2: Salt Saint Marie Ontario. I think I got that right.
7:24
Speaker 2: Has been closed for a week because the toilets have
7:27
Speaker 2: all overflowed, creating a pretty nasty mess. Now this time,
7:31
Speaker 2: it's literally that the school's in session. On Tuesday, when
7:35
Speaker 2: the backup suddenly occurred and students had to be evacuated.
7:38
Speaker 2: A plumbing crew was called in to fix the problem,
7:41
Speaker 2: but when it happened again, the school was canceled the
7:43
Speaker 2: following day. It's unclear when they'll be able to open
7:46
Speaker 2: the school back up again. A car dealer sells you
7:50
Speaker 2: a lemon, and you can either make lemonade or just
7:53
Speaker 2: crash the lemon right through the front of the showroom.
7:56
Speaker 2: A Utah man named Michael Murray purchased a used car
7:59
Speaker 2: from a dealer's in Sandy, Utah on Monday, and almost
8:02
Speaker 2: immediately noticed mechanical problems. Hours later, he drove the vehicle
8:07
Speaker 2: back to the dealership wanted to return it. The manager said,
8:10
Speaker 2: can't take it back. Vehicle was sold as is. Murray
8:13
Speaker 2: was pretty upset, threatened to drive it through the front
8:16
Speaker 2: door of the showroom if they did not return his money,
8:20
Speaker 2: and that's exactly what he did. He left the business,
8:23
Speaker 2: got inside the car, slammed through the front door. Amazingly,
8:27
Speaker 2: no one was hurt. Cameras caught the shocking scene on video.
8:29
Speaker 2: He was arrested on charge of felony, criminal mischief, and
8:33
Speaker 2: reckless endangerment. That's a pretty extreme thing. I mean, he
8:39
Speaker 2: really could have hurt somebody over a bad car purchase.
8:42
Speaker 2: I mean, he really could have hurt somebody. Christmas has
8:46
Speaker 2: been saved, thanks in part to firefighters in Norwalk, Connecticut.
8:52
Speaker 2: During a recent Norwalk holiday extravaganza, Santa Claus repelled down
8:58
Speaker 2: the side of a thirteen story building. Unfortunately, part of
9:01
Speaker 2: Saint Nick's wardrobe got tangled up in the rigging, and
9:05
Speaker 2: he was left dangling sixty feet off the ground. Firefighters
9:08
Speaker 2: rushed in to rescue Father Christmas. They first made contact
9:14
Speaker 2: with him through a six floor window and eventually were
9:17
Speaker 2: able to pull him inside. Thankfully, Sanna and no one
9:20
Speaker 2: else was hurt. That could have been a big disaster.
9:25
Speaker 2: That could have been a bigger desa. Well, that could
9:27
Speaker 2: have been really bad. I'll just leave it at that.
9:29
Speaker 2: That could have been a really, really big disaster. Police
9:33
Speaker 2: in Florida, I've arrested a man who was found inside
9:36
Speaker 2: a stranger's South house with no pants on and in
9:38
Speaker 2: possession of a carpet cleaner. Cops in Winterhaven say after
9:43
Speaker 2: they received the nine to one to one call from
9:45
Speaker 2: residents of the home, and the residents say that they
9:47
Speaker 2: were awoken by a loud bang at the front door.
9:51
Speaker 2: They then found a man in the living room wearing
9:53
Speaker 2: only a shirt, no pants or shoes. They also noted
9:57
Speaker 2: he was holding a carpet cleaner, which belonged to the
10:00
Speaker 2: owner of the house. One of the residents yelled at
10:04
Speaker 2: him to leave, and the man dropped the cleaning device
10:06
Speaker 2: and ran out. Officers arrived to the area within minutes
10:11
Speaker 2: arrested twenty three year old Austin Alexander. He told him
10:15
Speaker 2: he had no recollection of breaking into a home because
10:18
Speaker 2: he was on meth you think, charged with burglary and
10:22
Speaker 2: occupied dwelling and being held in the county jail. Unclear
10:27
Speaker 2: why he had on no pants. I got a suggestion
10:32
Speaker 2: the meth. It's also not clear what he intended to
10:36
Speaker 2: do with the carpet cleaner. Something meth related. I mean,
10:41
Speaker 2: that's at least the cause. Most people break into someone's
10:46
Speaker 2: house naked, at least semi naked, grab a carpet cleaner
10:53
Speaker 2: and start walking around the house and then they tell
10:55
Speaker 2: you later they were on meth. I'm thinking the myth
10:58
Speaker 2: would be the cause. It's just a hunch, just a theory.
11:02
Speaker 2: I know. I'm no expert, I'm not a forensics guy,
11:06
Speaker 2: I'm not CSI. I think it's the myth. Here's another
11:10
Speaker 2: one of those double entendra things. How about a snake
11:12
Speaker 2: in the sheets. Just when you thought stories about people
11:17
Speaker 2: finding snakes and their toilets were enough to scare you,
11:20
Speaker 2: how about this story out of South Africa. A reptile
11:24
Speaker 2: wrangler was summoned to a home after an owner found
11:27
Speaker 2: a snake slithering under the pillow. It was not just
11:32
Speaker 2: a regular snake either, It was a very deadly uh
11:35
Speaker 2: copra cobra. I'm saying a cape cobra. I don't know
11:39
Speaker 2: which one you say, but it's a cobra. Uh one
11:42
Speaker 2: of the most dangerous I guess a cape cobra. One
11:45
Speaker 2: of the most dangerous snakes in South Africa. Snake catcher
11:47
Speaker 2: Emily Russo equipped not something you want in your bed,
11:52
Speaker 2: and then added that the cape cobra is by far
11:55
Speaker 2: the most dangerous cobra along with the black mamba. It
11:58
Speaker 2: accounts for the majority of fatal snakes bites in South Africa,
12:06
Speaker 2: not Australia. Just pointing it out. Everybody thinks all the
12:09
Speaker 2: snake stuff happens in Australia. It does not. Sometimes it
12:14
Speaker 2: happens in South Africa, which is where my sister in
12:17
Speaker 2: law is from. A you're traveling by air this holiday season,
12:21
Speaker 2: make sure you leave your TSA banned items at home,
12:24
Speaker 2: including grenades. A passenger was detained at New York School
12:30
Speaker 2: LaGuardia Airport on Monday when security agents found a grenade
12:33
Speaker 2: inside his carry on bag. He was pulled aside for questioning.
12:37
Speaker 2: The explosive was confiscated. Authorities determined the grenade was real
12:42
Speaker 2: but inert. The man explained that he bought the grenade
12:46
Speaker 2: as a gift from a museum and assumed that he
12:48
Speaker 2: could take it on the plane. Since the device was inert,
12:52
Speaker 2: police decided not to charge him. He was allowed to
12:55
Speaker 2: continue his travels, just without the grenade. You know, there's
13:01
Speaker 2: that old joke. I forget who had the joke about
13:03
Speaker 2: the I think it was a Jerry Seinfeld. Maybe about
13:05
Speaker 2: the candle shaped like a cannonball in your bag. Yeah,
13:10
Speaker 2: the grenade would fall into that category. They're X ray
13:13
Speaker 2: in those things. They're scanning those things to see what
13:16
Speaker 2: might be in your bag. A grenade is going to
13:19
Speaker 2: be a red flag. A man in China was bared
13:22
Speaker 2: looking for something to do. He pretended he wanted a
13:25
Speaker 2: wanted to be a criminal and encourage people to come
13:28
Speaker 2: find him. The man, identified by his surname Wang, created
13:31
Speaker 2: a wanted poster which contained his name, photo, and a
13:35
Speaker 2: list of fake crimes that he never committed. He then
13:37
Speaker 2: posted it on social media with the promise of a
13:40
Speaker 2: four thousand dollars reward for anyone who finds and turns
13:43
Speaker 2: him in. Poster claimed that he had extorted four million
13:47
Speaker 2: dollars from a company and owned a machine gun with ammunition.
13:50
Speaker 2: The post went viral, received more than three hundred and
13:53
Speaker 2: fifty thousand views. One of those views was by police,
13:56
Speaker 2: who suspected something was fishy and detained him. Search of
14:00
Speaker 2: his home found no evidence of any weapons and there
14:03
Speaker 2: was no proof he'd committed any crimes. Wang told him
14:05
Speaker 2: that he was sorry for misleading them and was acting
14:09
Speaker 2: out of boredom. He's been charged with causing social disruption. Again.
14:17
Speaker 2: It's not double entendre, but the guy's name is Wang.
14:21
Speaker 2: I mean, I know that's a pretty common name surname
14:25
Speaker 2: in China, but gotta be something in there. Looking for Wang,
14:30
Speaker 2: searching for Wang, a criminal Wang? I don't know, there's
14:35
Speaker 2: something there. At least there's got to be something there
14:38
Speaker 2: right Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's
14:41

15:23
Speaker 2: incredible collaboration that they do with the schwob School of
15:28
Speaker 2: Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
15:31
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
15:36
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
15:38
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia. You think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
15:42
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens

16:18
Speaker 2: Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I
16:23
Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
16:26
Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
16:31
Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
16:34
Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
16:40
Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
16:43
Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
16:48
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
16:51
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
16:54
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
16:56
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
17:00
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
17:03
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
17:05
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
17:08
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
17:12
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
17:15
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes
17:19
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
17:22
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
17:25
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
17:28
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
17:31
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like
17:34
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
17:36
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
17:38
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
17:40
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
17:43
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
17:46
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
17:49
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
17:52
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
17:55
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six orty five eight forty five hundred,
17:58
Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight four five hundred o
18:01
Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after
18:05
Speaker 2: the break, well, have you heard of this trend called
18:16
Speaker 2: uber eats Roulette. Apparently this is a social media thing
18:21
Speaker 2: where a group of people, I guess friends, maybe not
18:24
Speaker 2: necessarily a family. They set a dollar amount and everybody
18:30
Speaker 2: orders food from you know, uber eats or whatever, and
18:34
Speaker 2: then in some cases maybe thirty dollars worth of food
18:38
Speaker 2: and then the food arrives without telling anybody what's going
18:41
Speaker 2: to show up. And when it all arrives, that's when
18:43
Speaker 2: you eat. And apparently this is caught on People are
18:47
Speaker 2: doing this with a crazy results and people are sharing
18:51
Speaker 2: it on social media. White Christmas this year, they say,
18:56
Speaker 2: for many of us, keep dreaming, and I know everybody
19:01
Speaker 2: wants one. The closest we've gotten here, I guess in
19:04
Speaker 2: the Columbus area has been you know, we get flurries.
19:07
Speaker 2: We've done that maybe twice in my lifetime. Well, it
19:12
Speaker 2: seems only a small portion of the country is going
19:14
Speaker 2: to get snow on Christmas Day. Last year, seventeen point
19:18
Speaker 2: six percent of the lower forty eight states enjoyed a
19:22
Speaker 2: white Christmas. Wait a minute, seventeen point six percent of
19:27
Speaker 2: the states. There's fifty states. It should be a pretty
19:32
Speaker 2: easy equation. Shit, how do we get seventeen point six
19:34
Speaker 2: per Oh? Oh, it's only counting the forty eight. I
19:37
Speaker 2: did just say the forty eight. I was thinking, Wait
19:39
Speaker 2: a minute, so, but I would think you get an
19:42
Speaker 2: automatic yes and a no for Alaska and then Hawaii. Anyway,
19:49
Speaker 2: seventeen point six percent of the lower forty eight enjoyed
19:52
Speaker 2: a white Christmas. And they say that means at least
19:56
Speaker 2: one inch of snow on the ground on Christmas morning.
20:00
Speaker 2: And they say in twenty twenty two, though, fifty two
20:03
Speaker 2: percent of the Lower forty eight had a white Christmas.
20:08
Speaker 2: So what are your chances? The Weather Channel has broken
20:10
Speaker 2: it down by region according to historical data. Your best
20:13
Speaker 2: chance for a white Christmas this year in the Lower
20:15
Speaker 2: forty eight will be the northernmost parts of the Northeast,
20:20
Speaker 2: the midwest, the plains, and of course the highest elevations
20:23
Speaker 2: in the western mountains. Cities with the best odds. Marquette Michigan, Duluth, Minnesota,
20:28
Speaker 2: Cariboo Maine, Tahoe City, California, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Bismarked, North Dakota, Burlington, Vermont.
20:38
Speaker 2: If you're the type who can never have enough Christmas
20:40
Speaker 2: lights and try every year to make a run on
20:44
Speaker 2: the Griswolds, you better brace yourself for what your next
20:48
Speaker 2: electric bill could look like. If you haven't already switched
20:51
Speaker 2: to LED lights, which used ninety percent less electricity than
20:55
Speaker 2: traditional incandescent lights and therefore they're more cost efficient. With
21:01
Speaker 2: the LEDs, your holiday display this year could cost you
21:04
Speaker 2: around sixty three dollars more this month on your electric bill.
21:08
Speaker 2: This according to Duke Energy, led lights will only cost
21:12
Speaker 2: you another nine dollars this month. There's the expense of
21:18
Speaker 2: getting the LEDs, but they'll save you money in the
21:21
Speaker 2: long run. I'm sure the last longer too. Right. It's
21:25
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, and you wouldn't have known that if
21:28
Speaker 2: you were in Newtown, Pennsylvania last weekend for their annual
21:31
Speaker 2: holiday parade. That's because more than two thousand people filled
21:34
Speaker 2: the street to do the macarena. No, they're not stuck
21:38
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety six, but they do like to get
21:41
Speaker 2: together for attempts to break Guinness World records and they
21:45
Speaker 2: think they may have broken it for the largest macarina dance.
21:49
Speaker 2: Do people do that regularly or is this just an
21:52
Speaker 2: occasional thing for trying to set a record. The previous
21:56
Speaker 2: record twenty two hundred and nineteen people, was set in
21:58
Speaker 2: twenty eleven in England. Dan Petty of the Newton Business Association,
22:03
Speaker 2: I'm sorry the new Town. It's different than Newtons. A
22:07
Speaker 2: w in there says, based on our participant list and
22:11
Speaker 2: based on all the people we had here, I think
22:14
Speaker 2: we came pretty close, if not breaking it, we think
22:16
Speaker 2: we entered the record books today. That'll be up to,
22:19
Speaker 2: of course, the folks at Guinness, and there is a
22:21
Speaker 2: process for submitting to Guinness. Been there, done that? A
22:25
Speaker 2: former Guinness World Record holder myself so well, it's hard
22:29
Speaker 2: for us to go a long time without our phones.
22:31
Speaker 2: But a woman in China recently won thirteen hundred and
22:34
Speaker 2: eighty dollars in a contest and all she needed to
22:37
Speaker 2: do was stay away from her phone for eight hours.
22:40
Speaker 2: Ten people participated and she was the only one who
22:43
Speaker 2: could do it. To be fair, there were some rules
22:46
Speaker 2: that made things extra challenging first contestants had to lie
22:48
Speaker 2: flat on their backs. They also had to avoid distractions,
22:51
Speaker 2: which meant they couldn't listen to music, watch movies, or
22:54
Speaker 2: read a book. They also couldn't sleep. So that was
22:56
Speaker 2: my first thought when I first heard about the story.
22:58
Speaker 2: I thought, Ah, you just sleep eight hours or six
23:02
Speaker 2: of it. I don't know that I could sleep eight
23:04
Speaker 2: straight hours. But the hardest part was that they couldn't
23:07
Speaker 2: show any signs of anxiety, which was monitored by a
23:10
Speaker 2: special pulse detecting wristband. So there you go. That'll do
23:16
Speaker 2: it for this Friday edition of the show. Thanks to
23:18
Speaker 2: our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch
23:21
