  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, fifteenth day of May. I'm Wes. Thanks for
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: joining me. We are getting ready to roll into this
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: weekend together, and of course Friday means a little strange
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: and bizarre news from around the world and a little
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: bit of positive news for you before we do that. First,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I've kind of already addressed this this week, but I
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: would just like to mention it again. Last night I
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: got to be part of the Columbus State University hooding ceremony.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I am the name reader for graduation ceremonies. I've got
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: three more ceremonies to do today. I greatly appreciate Columbus
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: State asking me back to do this again. I'm working
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: on like ten years of doing this. Actually it may
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: be there. I think this may be the mark of
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: finishing up ten years of doing it, and I hope
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: to do it many more years. I enjoy the opportunity
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: of interacting with the new graduates, try to give them
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: something to remember with the ceremony, try to give them
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: something for their families to remember. And it's a big day.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Graduation is a big day, and you know these hooding
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: ceremony last night. It's fine. It's a little bit more
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: more opportunities for the people graduating to be able to,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: you know, give some thank yous to family members and
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: people like that, and acknowledge their professors and things with
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: comments that doesn't really happen in today's ceremonies. But I'm
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: going to finish this and I'm gonna head out the
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: door and get straight over there because the first ceremonies
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: get started early this morning. Well the ceremonies aren't early,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: but the people start arriving early, and I have to.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I want to greet them all because I want to
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: make sure I'm trying. I'm doing my best to pronounce
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: their name correctly. That's my objective, that's my goal. So anyway, again,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: you know, if you happen to be at a graduation
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: for someone today and you get a chance to say,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I'd love to say I to you, I like, you know,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: it's a little break from that constant reading names, reading names,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: reading names, and then I get a little break, a
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: little downtime, and then names names names. If I don't
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: talk quite as much as I normally do. If you
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: see me, I just know I'm resting my voice just
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: a little bit. It's a lot of hydrating today, a
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: lot of it. And speaking of which, I'll have myself
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: a little sip. Can't start too early, can't start too early,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: wet in the whistle, hydrating the instrument, whatever you want
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: to call it. So anyway, there's you know, long day
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: ahead of me reading names. So let's get to this then,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: because I got some positive news for you, some uplifting news,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: if you will, And this is is pretty good. I
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: like this story a lot. An ice cream truck in Gardner,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Massachusetts has been really having an impact on the community
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: where kids come up want to buy ice cream, and
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: they have kind of a cool start to this thing
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: that just kind of took off online. They basically had
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: a boy that came up to the Maddie's ice Cream
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: and More truck and when they realized the boy didn't
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: have any money, he walked away in tears. The owner
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: of the truck is named Madison Silvic Noley good practice
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: for today for the names. Didn't hesitate. She called him back.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: She put together a custom ice cream for him, a
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: scoop with all the toppings, and said, you want ice
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: cream from Maddie's You're going to get an ice cream
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: from Maddie and the video of that moment they shared
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: to social media and it got millions of views, and
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: it basically had people saying, you know, it's sad that
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: there's kids that can't afford ice cream and they come
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: up to the truck and they think it's free or
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: they just don't have any money. So viewers from all
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: around the world started sending Madison donations saying how can
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: they pay for the next kid?
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Scoop?
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: And because of the overwhelming generosity, Madison announced for the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: rest of the summer, every single child who visits the
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: truck gets free ice cream. Madison says it's more than
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: just about sweet treats. It's about creating special memories for
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: everyone involved. She says ice cream trucks or childhood and nostalgia.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: People remember their ice cream truck. It's a great story.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Nicely done on her part to take care of that kid,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: and then nicely done on people that are decided, hey,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: we want to pay for the next kid's ice cream.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: This is kind of interesting. A data editor at Google
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: named Simon Rodgers has a big job. He spends days
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: looking at all the questions that are asked by people
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: in every country over the last twenty years. He goes
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: so far as to call this the world's brain. Based
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: on their searches, and Simon has noticed some recent trends
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: that might shed some light on what attitudes and hopes
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: maybe we have these days. He says, plenty of people
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: ask Monday and questions about basic life skills. How do
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you boil an egg, how do you fix a toilet?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Things like that. Simon has also found that a lot
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: of people are asking questions about impacting others in a
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: positive way, and he says for years, one of the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: top career related searches was careers that pay well, and
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: he says that's changed since the pandemic. These days, many
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: searches are for jobs that help people. He says, I
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: guess this trend is one of those things that people
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: are trying to find kind of fulfilling paths rather than money.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: And another trend involves more general questions about being there
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: for those in need. Searches for how to help have
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: never been higher than they are now in the US
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and the UK. The top search question in that category
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: is how to help someone with depression, followed closely by
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: anxiety and panic attacks. These searches show compassion. They also
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: show greater awareness and important mental health, especially when someone
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: is struggling. I know, I'm trying to stay positive on this,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: so but it's just a little scary that we have
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: so many people that are struggling with depression and mental health.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: That we have people, but it's nice to know that
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: people are looking for ways that they can't help those
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: in their life. So that's really really good. All right,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: let's switch over to some strange and bizarre news. We
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: can't stay all positive and Kumbai Yai all morning. We
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: got to get to it, and let's get to it
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: first and foremost. A McDonald's in Massachusetts is now under
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: investigation because a viral video appeared to show an employee
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: putting fries in her mouth then dumping them back into
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the serving box, presumably for a customer. The employee and
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: a coworker are seen laughing throughout the disgusting video, which
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: was shared on social media and then quickly went viral.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Outraged locals called the eclip disgusting and unsanitary, many saying
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: that they're swearing off that location. Police on the Board
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: of Health they're investigating after receiving numerous calls and online tips.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: McDonald's franchise owners say the worker that was involved, both
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: workers I guess involved, even the one that was laughing,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: has been fired, calling the behavior unacceptable, insisting no public
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: health violations were found. Authorities still trying to determine whether
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: any customers were actually served contaminated food. You know, we
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: got some couple of cruise ships with some real health problems.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: There's a couple of them. You don't want to be
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: eating French fries that have been in somebody's mouth. I'm
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: not saying that these McDonald's employees have been on cruise ships.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I'm just pointing out the fact that we don't want
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: to do all this again. We've done this when it
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: comes to pandemics. We've done this when it comes to
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: people licking ice cream and things in the stores. We
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: don't want to do this again. None of this all right.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: The morning commute in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, got a little
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: smelly when a truck spilled thousands of gallons of liquid
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: fertilizer all over the road. Police initially called a hazardous
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: materials incident and shut down a stretch of road just
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: west of Marietta, telling drivers to find another route. Photos
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: from the scene showed hazmat cruz working to clean up
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: the slick, foul smelling mess. A few hours later, authorities
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: reopened the road gave motorists they all clear, wishing them
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: safe travels. They may just want to keep the windows
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: rolled up for a few days, though. I mean, it's
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: pretty pretty gross, pretty disgusting, but not as disgusting in
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: my opinion, as someone staying French fries in their mouths
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: and then you know, serving them to somebody at a McDonald's.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: That's much grosser. A real life medical case looked like
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: a scene out of Willie Walk and the Chocolate Factory,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: when a woman suddenly turned blue after taking a common antibiotic,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the medication minus secline minus cycline. I don't know this
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: medicine minus cycline. I guess I often prescribed for rosation
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: other infections. Clearly I haven't had or I wouldn't know
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: that medicine mina minus cycline cycline. It's got to be it, right,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: see why? I see? Practicing again for graduation usually works safely,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: but in rare cases it can cause skin discoloration, and
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: doctors were surprised just though how quickly it happened. Just
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: two weeks after she started taking the drug. The woman
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: first noticed dark patches on her legs, which later spread
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: to her arms, even her tongue. Doctors diagnosed it as
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: a drug induced hyperpigmentation, told her to stop taking the
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: medication and avoid sun exposure. Six months later, the discoloration
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: it faded somewhat, but had not completely disappeared. Experts say
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: the side effects this particular side effect, I guess effects
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: A very small percentage of patients usually shows up after months,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: not weeks, of use, and the drug is generally considered safe.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Doctor stress that patients should be aware of rare but
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: potentially serious skin reactions. So yeah, if you're being treated
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: for roseatia, just be aware that this is a possibility.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: You know, I wouldn't have guessed. I mean, I've assumed
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: maybe that there were drugs that could, you know, turn
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: your colors. It sounds like something out of a er
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: or house or you know, the pit one of those shows.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: It sounds like something in one of it sounds like
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: something in the pit. Actually, federal prosecutors say a seventy
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: three year old Florida veteran looking at ten years in
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: prison for faking blindness for several years so he could
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: collect two hundred and forty five thousand dollar VA benefits.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Jerry Smith pleaded guilty to falsely claiming he was blind
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: to receive disability payments. He committed this fraud from twenty
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: seventeen to twenty twenty one. Investigators eventually looked to him
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: into his claims discovered he was actually able to drive,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: read and work. Even held jobs as a school security
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: guard and firearms specialists. Those are jobs where you need
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: to be able to see, and you need to be
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: able to see pretty well. That's just that's my take
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: on those jobs you need to be especially the firearms
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: specialist and the driving. Smith faces up to ten years
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: in federal prison with sentencing still pending on that. That's
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: a lot of money to take pretending to be blind.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you fake blindness with a doctor, though.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: If we investigated the we're looking into whether the doctor
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: is in on this. I just just asking a question,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: all right. I know we had a couple of great
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: animal stories last week. This is another good animal story,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: and Arizona man was doing yard work, and he was
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: greeted by a surprise swimmer in his pool. That happens,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: you know sometimes there's like a toad in there, like
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: a frog probably more likely that might be in there.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: You might have, you know, a lizard or something swimming
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: around in there, something small, maybe a squirrel. People have
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: that every now and then. In some places you might
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: even have an alligator. Well, in this case, Eric Johnson,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I assume not. The musician was outside his home in
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Peoria when he heard a loud splash and discovered that
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: an Asian water monitor, the world's second largest species of lizard,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: was in his pool. Wildlife experts say the lizard, which
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: is native to Southeast Asia and can grow more than
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: six feet long, was likely an escaped pet. Johnson snapped
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: photos as it swam and then climbed out to sunbathe
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: before wandering off on its own about twenty minutes later.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: No one was hurt, but yeah, it did end peacefully
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: at the very least didn't end up being a major
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: major deal. That's some uh, that's some pretty scary stuff there.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: When you got this animal that big, it looks gaitorish
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: is what I'm saying. And that's the scary part of it.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: A Southwest Airlines flight from Oakland to San Diego was
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: delayed about an hour when a humanoid robot that was
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: found on board. A seventy five pound robot named Bebop
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: was traveling as a passenger with an events company and
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: danced at the gate, drawing a crowd of travelers and kids.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Once on board, though the airline staff discovered the robot's
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: lithium battery was larger than the airline safety rules allow
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: because lithium batteries pose a fire wrist. The crew stopped
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: departure until the battery was removed. Southwest confirmed the robot
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: had its own purchased seat, but said the safety concerns
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: required action and the battery was taken off. The flight
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: was able to continue, and the robot eventually made it
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: to his destination, though its battery had to be driven
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: and shipped separately to another event. Southwest says the situation
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: was handled professionally and highlights why strict battery rules exist
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: even when the passenger happens to be a dancing robot.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: So thankfully it wasn't a robot pilot. That's probably coming
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: one day, but thankfully that was not the case this time.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and
• 14:36

  Speaker 2: all ages. I mean they do it for school age
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Science Center, but they also do it through their university
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: and you can learn more about maybe getting your degree
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: incredible collaboration that they do with the schwob School of
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center. And the new season of Music
• 15:44

• 15:48
  Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: outside the city lights don't any light interference, and you
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want. It
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: to be, and you need some repair work done to
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,
• 17:48

  Speaker 2: the break. Well, just in case you're not old enough.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: To know.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Who this person is, I'm going to explain a little
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: bit that there is a certain age and a certain
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: age group that is iconic and that people would be
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: aware of within a certain age group and certain like
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: age down may be not aware of who this person is.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: The daredevil known as Evil Canevil, and his name is
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: brought up in scenarios where people may have heard the name.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Maybe they don't really know who he is, but a daredevil,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: a guy who would you know, jump cars on his
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: motorcycle and launch over the Grand Canyon and a rocket
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: things like that. Well, his honor, his legacy will live
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: on beginning this summer in Las Vegas with the Evil
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Canevl Experience, a museum that will feature some of his
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: most famous vehicles, including the infamous X two sky cycle
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: from his nineteen seventy four Snake River Canyon attempt. The
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: experience also includes a VR jump simulator that puts visitors
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: on a motorcycle and simulates a death defying jump over
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: sixteen cars without the risk of, you know, breaking every
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: bone in your body and causing some permanent damage and
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: all of those things. Sounds like fun to me, you know,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: I just like, there's gonna be an age group that's
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: going to be interested in this, and then there's gonna
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: be people. And now daredevils are things now too. You
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: just had that guy, you know he climbs buildings and
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: set that record for climbing that building. I don't know
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: that guy's name, I know Evil Canevl. So yeah, if
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: your plans involved going to Vegas this summer, it might
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: be worth checking it out. But one of those things
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: that might get people to be aware of the legacy
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: of Evil can Eevil. Maybe Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley IronPigs Minor
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: League baseball team is capturing the imagination of their fans
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: with groundbreaking innovations like the beer zipline. It's a zipline
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: that delivers cans of cold beer to consumers and not
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: really convenient. It's not efficient, it takes a while for
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: the beer to zip down the line, but it arrives
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: cold and it's some next level fun to be part
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: of the extreme beer delivery history that is the zipline.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Whatever gets the beer sold, whatever gets the beverages sold
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: and flowing and whatever, and makes a name for the
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: baseball team. I mean, that's what those things are about.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Millennial guys seem to be avoiding the midlife cliche of
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: buying sports cars instead or spending their fun money on
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: looking good and staying healthy for as long as possible.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Experts calling it the shift from a lifespan to hot span.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: The trend is more than just buying high end skin
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: creams and things and shampoos, but men spending thousands on
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: scientific blood work to tract metabolism, hormones, biological age. They're
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: also you know, looking at expensive peptide therapy that repairs
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: their cells and boost collagen to hang on to their
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: youthful appearance and performance and all those fun things. Yeah,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: that makes more sense than you know, buying a motorcycle.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: You know, it makes a lot more sense than that.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, nothing against that. That's never been something for
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: It was ever on my radar, not something I ever
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: had any considerations for, you know, buying a motorcycle. So
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: it doesn't really you know, it just I remember I
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: had a former employer who said that he, you know,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: wanted everybody to come out at work and see his
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: brand new motorcycle that he had just bought. And you know,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: it was a nice bike. You know it it is,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: you know what it is. That's it's a motorcycle. And
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I just remember telling him it was the nicest midlife
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: crisis i'd seen. He wasn't. He didn't like my comment.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: It just kind of came out of my mouth. That
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: happened sometimes, but that's what it was. It was definitely
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: a midlife crisis, and you know, guys just aren't doing
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: it these days. Apparently, the Social Security Administration has released
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: its baby named data for twenty twenty five and looks
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: like a lot of pairs. It's looking to the stars
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: and beyond for inspiration. Moon stars, those kinds of names.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I guess sixty five babies named Moon, one hundred and
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: one babies named stars still holding strong. The real trend
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: is planets. Mars is officially taken the throne as the
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: most popular planet name. Wow, Jupiter just behind it. Aris,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: the dwarf planet, is actually the top on the planet's list,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: but it's a dwarf planet, so it's not a real
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: planet like Pluto. But yeah, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Pluto
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: is in there at number six as a dwarf planet. Mercury,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Earth and Neptune. So there you go. I don't see
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: uranus represented in there, So maybe, just maybe next year
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: for the twenty twenty six numbers, we'll get uranus in
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: there somewhere. That'll do it for this Friday edition of
