- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Friday morning, ninth day of May, Nueve Demayo. All right,
- 0:16Speaker 2: that's it. That's really the last one. I'm not going
- 0:18Speaker 2: to carry it in the next week. It's graduation day
- 0:21Speaker 2: for Columbus State University. Last night was the hooding ceremony.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Today the graduation ceremonies. If you know someone who's graduating
- 0:30Speaker 2: and walking in the ceremony today, I'll be calling the names.
- 0:34Speaker 2: I'd love for you to say hi if you can
- 0:36Speaker 2: catch me. I'm there with the graduates before the ceremony
- 0:40Speaker 2: and then after I kind of disappear very quickly, but
- 0:43Speaker 2: sometimes I'm around on the outside. But I'd love to
- 0:46Speaker 2: say hi if you happen to be there and your list,
- 0:48Speaker 2: especially if you're listening to the show this morning, that
- 0:51Speaker 2: would be fun. It is Friday. It's the day that
- 0:54Speaker 2: we do strange and bizarre news from around the world.
- 0:58Speaker 2: I want to start with this story out of Texas.
- 1:03Speaker 2: An eighteen wheeler that was traveling north of Dallas overturn
- 1:09Speaker 2: and spilled a hall of dimes. About eight hundred thousand
- 1:14Speaker 2: dollars worth of dimes, the change thrown all over the
- 1:17Speaker 2: road and onto the grassy shoulder. Investigator say the driver
- 1:21Speaker 2: of the truck veered off the road and rolled onto
- 1:24Speaker 2: its side. Both he and a passenger were hurt taken
- 1:28Speaker 2: to a hospital. Traffic completely shut down while Cruz tried
- 1:32Speaker 2: to I mean, it's a tough job to get all
- 1:36Speaker 2: of the eight million dimes off the road again the
- 1:43Speaker 2: smallest of coins, and workers were seen picking up dimes
- 1:47Speaker 2: by hand and trying to use vacuums to suck them
- 1:51Speaker 2: all up. It's eight hundred thousand dollars worth of dimes.
- 1:55Speaker 2: That's a lot of stuff to pick up on the
- 1:57Speaker 2: road and from the grass. No word on if they
- 1:59Speaker 2: were able to get it. It was all accounted for
- 2:02Speaker 2: by the time it was all done. Residents of Massachusetts
- 2:05Speaker 2: are looking for help and dealing with an angry woodpecker
- 2:10Speaker 2: that was pecking cars and causing significant damage. The woodpecker
- 2:15Speaker 2: had been pecking what car mirrors and trim all over
- 2:20Speaker 2: the coastal town of Rockport, Massachusetts. Wildlife experts believe it's
- 2:24Speaker 2: likely mistaking its reflection for a rival woodpecker, causing it
- 2:29Speaker 2: to get aggressive as residents have been advised to cover
- 2:33Speaker 2: their car mirrors when parked. About twenty five vehicles had
- 2:37Speaker 2: been vandalized. Town officials say they're working on some solutions
- 2:41Speaker 2: to the problem. But the woodpecker, I mean they're going
- 2:44Speaker 2: to woodpeck. You know, the tiger doesn't go crazy. The
- 2:48Speaker 2: tiger goes tiger. The woodpecker is not vandalizing. The woodpecker
- 2:52Speaker 2: is just going woodpecker. I mean, that's that's what they do.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Or maybe they thought it was a Tesla. May they thought, oh,
- 3:00Speaker 2: we're vandalizing Tesla's still did that stop. We haven't heard
- 3:04Speaker 2: a lot about that lately. Maybe that finally calmed down.
- 3:07Speaker 2: If someone calls you on the phone wanting to give
- 3:09Speaker 2: you money, it's typically a scam. You're wise to assume
- 3:15Speaker 2: that it's probably a scam. Well, Michigan state trooper recently
- 3:19Speaker 2: found five thousand dollars in cash lying in the middle
- 3:21Speaker 2: of the road, not dimes. The trooper, wanting to do
- 3:24Speaker 2: the right thing, contacted a nearby bank and they were
- 3:27Speaker 2: able to confirm that a customer had just made a
- 3:29Speaker 2: five thousand dollars withdrawal. So the trooper set off on
- 3:32Speaker 2: a mission to return the money to the rightful owner,
- 3:35Speaker 2: which you would think would be easy. But every time
- 3:38Speaker 2: the trooper called the individual, he hung up, thinking it
- 3:40Speaker 2: was a scam. It happened multiple times. Finally the man
- 3:42Speaker 2: took the call and stayed on the line long enough
- 3:45Speaker 2: for the trooper to convince him it wasn't a scam
- 3:47Speaker 2: and he was trying to return his five thousand dollars.
- 3:50Speaker 2: The man told him he had left the bank and
- 3:52Speaker 2: somehow the cash fell out of his pocket. The Michigan
- 3:55Speaker 2: State Police wrote on social media, the subject must have
- 3:58Speaker 2: been listening to our public service announcements being a victim
- 4:00Speaker 2: of fraud and believed that he was being scammed. Or
- 4:05Speaker 2: maybe he's familiar with this practice of you know, you
- 4:08Speaker 2: get a call and they say, hey, you won Iron
- 4:11Speaker 2: Bowl tickets, and then you show up and they arrest
- 4:13Speaker 2: you because of some outstanding warrant. So maybe he was
- 4:16Speaker 2: just you know, concerned about who the call was coming from.
- 4:20Speaker 2: And apparently that's a common call you get a call for,
- 4:22Speaker 2: not necessarily the Iron Bowling, but it is a common call.
- 4:25Speaker 2: He gets a call from a scam, I should say,
- 4:27Speaker 2: you get a call from some sort of a sheriff's
- 4:30Speaker 2: office or police agency and they tell you, oh, you
- 4:34Speaker 2: missed a court session or you missed you were supposed
- 4:37Speaker 2: to come in and testify, and we're going to come
- 4:39Speaker 2: arrest you and you got to pay this and that anyway,
- 4:42Speaker 2: So be aware of that as well. But if they're
- 4:44Speaker 2: calling to tell you, hey, we got your money and
- 4:45Speaker 2: we're giving it back, you should probably take that call
- 4:49Speaker 2: at least give him a chance to say what's going on.
- 4:52Speaker 2: A Florida woman had a scary run in with a
- 4:54Speaker 2: black bear and got away unscathed because she fought the
- 4:58Speaker 2: animal off with a bag of cookies. It's a good plan.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Kristin Savage was out for a walk with her Chihuahua,
- 5:06Speaker 2: Ringo when she stopped to look at the bird that
- 5:10Speaker 2: she happened to see in a tree. Probably not a woodpecker,
- 5:13Speaker 2: but maybe could have been, I don't know. Then suddenly
- 5:17Speaker 2: something came at her leg and she thought it was
- 5:19Speaker 2: a dog off a leash. She realized it was a
- 5:21Speaker 2: large head, and before she knew it, the bear was
- 5:24Speaker 2: going after Ringo. At one point, the bear had the
- 5:27Speaker 2: tiny dog in her mouth, but did let go. Thankfully.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Kristin lifted the thirteen pound dog over her head to
- 5:34Speaker 2: keep away from the bear and swung a bag of
- 5:35Speaker 2: cookies she had with her at the bear's head that
- 5:38Speaker 2: frightened the bear. Kristin says, I kind of feel bad,
- 5:42Speaker 2: but I smacked the bear across the face with a
- 5:43Speaker 2: bag of cookies and I threw them at her face.
- 5:47Speaker 2: No one was hurt in the end. Let me just
- 5:50Speaker 2: tell you this, Kristin, as a dog lover, myself, as
- 5:54Speaker 2: a dog lover who's had other dogs charge at their
- 5:57Speaker 2: dog before and try to get aggressive, you didn't do
- 6:01Speaker 2: anything wrong by protecting your dog. I mean, you don't
- 6:05Speaker 2: need to feel bad about smacking a bear in the
- 6:06Speaker 2: head with cookies. You smacked the bear in the head
- 6:08Speaker 2: with whatever you got to smack the bear in the
- 6:10Speaker 2: head with to save your dog and probably yourself as well,
- 6:13Speaker 2: since you're holding the dog over your head. Holding the
- 6:16Speaker 2: dog over your head and smacking the dog in the
- 6:19Speaker 2: bear in the head with a bag of cookies with
- 6:22Speaker 2: the dog over your head in the other hand, is
- 6:24Speaker 2: a commendable act. That's some serious self defense stuff there
- 6:27Speaker 2: that you did. Good for you, all right. Crowds of
- 6:31Speaker 2: people at a beach carnival and Connecticut ran for safety
- 6:34Speaker 2: after someone opened a can of flatulence spray as a prank.
- 6:41Speaker 2: Police wrote in a social media post that pranksters had
- 6:44Speaker 2: a little fun with stink spray, but people panicked and
- 6:48Speaker 2: made a run for it, causing a chaotic scene. The
- 6:50Speaker 2: Fairfield Police Department said we want to assure everyone that
- 6:53Speaker 2: despite rumors circulating online, there were no weapons, no physical altercations,
- 6:58Speaker 2: and no injuries at any time. It's unclear at this
- 7:03Speaker 2: point if anyone involved with the fart spray Shenanigans was
- 7:07Speaker 2: arrested for it. So, I mean, it's a First Amendment right.
- 7:11Speaker 2: If you got fort spray and you want to just
- 7:14Speaker 2: set it off in a crowd of people, I mean,
- 7:16Speaker 2: it's your right. There's nothing that says you can't illegal
- 7:20Speaker 2: immigrant with fart spray. Sure, they can't stop you. You
- 7:24Speaker 2: got all the same rights as everybody else, criminal, illegal immigrant. Yeah,
- 7:30Speaker 2: do it. Just crack open the fart spray, no harm,
- 7:34Speaker 2: no foul. You have First Amendment rights too. A twenty
- 7:37Speaker 2: seven year old mountain climber is safe and sound after
- 7:40Speaker 2: he was rescued from the peak of Mount Fiji and
- 7:45Speaker 2: Japan for the second time in five days. It's a
- 7:49Speaker 2: college student who became stranded on the mountain when he
- 7:52Speaker 2: lost some equipment and was feeling sick from the altitude
- 7:57Speaker 2: Mount Fiji being more than ten thousand feet high. Rescuers
- 7:59Speaker 2: were to reach him and safely bring him down the mountain. Then,
- 8:03Speaker 2: five days later, rescuers received another emergency call from the
- 8:06Speaker 2: same man who had climbed back up the mountain to
- 8:09Speaker 2: retrieve his phone that he accidentally left behind on his
- 8:12Speaker 2: first climb. This time, he suffered some cuts during the
- 8:15Speaker 2: climb needed medical attention. Rescuers carried him down the mountain
- 8:19Speaker 2: on a stretcher and treated his injuries. It's unclear if
- 8:22Speaker 2: he was able to retrieve his phone. If not, might
- 8:25Speaker 2: be going back up there again. I mean, got to
- 8:29Speaker 2: get his phone. He's got his priorities set. He's got
- 8:32Speaker 2: to go back up there and get that phone. I
- 8:35Speaker 2: mean he went up there five days after, you know,
- 8:39Speaker 2: having some serious issues altitude sickness. Got to go back
- 8:43Speaker 2: up there and get that phone. Take a bag of
- 8:45Speaker 2: cookies in case there's a bear up there. That's some
- 8:47Speaker 2: serious stuff, and you just don't ever know if you're
- 8:49Speaker 2: gonna have to whack a bear in the head with
- 8:51Speaker 2: a bag of cookies, especially if you're using a dog
- 8:54Speaker 2: to track down the phone. Parents, if you're gonna let
- 8:57Speaker 2: your kids play with your phone, make sure you've logged
- 9:01Speaker 2: out of the apps, especially ones where your kid might
- 9:04Speaker 2: order things, especially things that kids would really, really like
- 9:08Speaker 2: to have an abundance of. Holly La Favors of Lexington,
- 9:13Speaker 2: Kentucky was shocked when thirty cases of Dumb Dumb lollipops
- 9:18Speaker 2: arrived at her door. She had no idea why the
- 9:20Speaker 2: candy was delivered to her house until her second grade son, Liam,
- 9:24Speaker 2: admitted to ordering them on Amazon while playing with her phone.
- 9:28Speaker 2: The delivery contained seventy thousand lollipops and it cost her
- 9:33Speaker 2: forty two hundred dollars. Holly contacted Amazon, and the company
- 9:37Speaker 2: initially agreed to allow her to return just eight of
- 9:40Speaker 2: the cases. She was going to attempt to sell the rest. Then,
- 9:44Speaker 2: her story went viral on social media and it was
- 9:46Speaker 2: picked up by multiple news outlets. Amazon reached out to
- 9:49Speaker 2: her and agreed to take all the cases back and
- 9:53Speaker 2: refund the money. Yeah, you're gonna want to be really
- 9:57Speaker 2: careful with those kids playing with your phone. Log out
- 10:01Speaker 2: of Amazon. That's just a word of advice, and any
- 10:03Speaker 2: other app with it it stocks. I mean They're probably
- 10:06Speaker 2: not going to start ordering stocks on your behalf, but
- 10:08Speaker 2: you got to be careful. An Ohio woman is under
- 10:11Speaker 2: arrest following a crazy traffic stop where police discovered a
- 10:15Speaker 2: pet raccoon holding a meth pipe in the driver's seat.
- 10:19Speaker 2: This is Ohio. This is not Florida. All of you
- 10:22Speaker 2: thinking that, how is this not in Florida. That's what
- 10:25Speaker 2: I thought when I found this story. I thought, surely
- 10:27Speaker 2: this has to be It has to be in Florida. No, no, no, no,
- 10:32Speaker 2: just outside Cincinnati. The officer stopped a vehicle after identifying
- 10:37Speaker 2: it as belonging to a registered owner with an active
- 10:39Speaker 2: warrant and a suspended driver's license. The driver of the
- 10:42Speaker 2: car three, sorry, fifty five year old. We'll call her
- 10:46Speaker 2: fifty three. She's had a rough day. We'll give her.
- 10:48Speaker 2: We'll knock two years off. Victoria Vidal was taken into
- 10:52Speaker 2: custody without incident, placed in the back of a police cruiser.
- 10:56Speaker 2: When the officer returned to the car's when the officer
- 11:00Speaker 2: found the raccoon named Chewy, sitting in the driver's seat
- 11:04Speaker 2: was with a glass meth pipe in its mouth. A
- 11:07Speaker 2: subsequent search of the vehicle turned up a large amount
- 11:10Speaker 2: of meth amphetamine, cracked cocaine, and other used meth pipes.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Vidal charged with possession of drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia,
- 11:18Speaker 2: driving under suspension. Chewy was unharmed. But how about I
- 11:23Speaker 2: don't know, maybe putting the animal in some kind of
- 11:26Speaker 2: jeopardy a pet Police, I don't know. Is that a crime.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Police say it should be. Police say he's a registered
- 11:32Speaker 2: to someone's pet, but I'm not determined if he belongs
- 11:35Speaker 2: to a Vidal or to someone else. How do you
- 11:37Speaker 2: have a pet raccoon and you don't name it rocket?
- 11:40Speaker 2: That's just my question. You know, I'm sure Chewy chews
- 11:43Speaker 2: on a lot of things. It's got to be the reason,
- 11:47Speaker 2: all right. Walmart known to have pretty much anything you
- 11:52Speaker 2: need when you go in their store, right, I mean
- 11:54Speaker 2: they carry just about everything under the sun. Anything you
- 11:58Speaker 2: can imagine. Something that they don't carry necessarily is exorcisms.
- 12:06Speaker 2: Seventy three year old Angelo Velasquez to Toborda, I got
- 12:11Speaker 2: that right. I got a practice for reading off some
- 12:14Speaker 2: names coming up later today. This morning, I tried to
- 12:21Speaker 2: walk out of Walmart store with a bag containing more
- 12:23Speaker 2: than one hundred and twenty dollars worth of items shampoo, socks, men,
- 12:26Speaker 2: shorts that she did not pay for. Security guards stopped
- 12:29Speaker 2: her and she vehemently, vehemently denied stealing the items. Then
- 12:36Speaker 2: a short while later, as she was being held at
- 12:38Speaker 2: the store for police to arrive, she admitted to attempting
- 12:41Speaker 2: to leave the store with the items, but she only
- 12:43Speaker 2: did so because the devil told her she had to
- 12:46Speaker 2: get them for other people and she didn't have enough
- 12:48Speaker 2: money for it. So she was rested charge with theft.
- 12:52Speaker 2: The devil thus far has not been charged in this case.
- 12:56Speaker 2: I think the devil could be charged for a lot
- 12:58Speaker 2: of things, a lot of crimes. We could charge the
- 13:01Speaker 2: devil with. Seven year old boy in Utah is in
- 13:05Speaker 2: a bit of trouble after he took the keys to
- 13:09Speaker 2: his mom's suv so he could drive his five year
- 13:12Speaker 2: old sister to McDonald's for breakfast. Police say they responded
- 13:17Speaker 2: to a call of a vehicle driving erradically and chose
- 13:21Speaker 2: not to chase it because the caller said the driver
- 13:23Speaker 2: appeared to be a child. The siblings had cash, drove
- 13:28Speaker 2: nine miles from the house never made it to McDonald's,
- 13:30Speaker 2: though they hit another vehicle at some point. As you
- 13:33Speaker 2: would expect a seven year old to do, before eventually
- 13:36Speaker 2: hitting a parking strip and coming to a stop. The
- 13:39Speaker 2: driver of the other vehicle said the kids got out
- 13:42Speaker 2: of the suv and gave them the finger. Police called EMC.
- 13:48Speaker 2: You thought this was a sweet, little innocent story about
- 13:50Speaker 2: two kids. No, no, no, these kids got attitude. Police called
- 13:53Speaker 2: EMTs to the scene, and they determined the kids were unhurt.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Police notified their mother, who was understandable be upset. She
- 14:02Speaker 2: had been sleeping and had no idea The kids left
- 14:04Speaker 2: the house let alone took the car. She was relieved
- 14:06Speaker 2: the kids were okay and even a little impressed they
- 14:09Speaker 2: both knew to wear their seat belts. She said her
- 14:12Speaker 2: son wants to be a truck driver when he grows up.
- 14:16Speaker 2: She also told police that he's had some behavior problems
- 14:20Speaker 2: and will be grounded for a long time, to which
- 14:24Speaker 2: he then flipped her off. I guess ah, all right,
- 14:27Speaker 2: let's get back to Florida. A Florida man who was
- 14:30Speaker 2: arrested thirty times not really good at evading authorities, was
- 14:35Speaker 2: arrested again after daring police to catch him if they can.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Jeffrey hickers Corn has a rap sheet with seventy four
- 14:44Speaker 2: prior felony hirsh coorn I blew that one Jeffrey is
- 14:48Speaker 2: not a good sign for my day while be reading
- 14:50Speaker 2: names of graduation Jeffrey Hirshcorn as a rap sheet that
- 14:54Speaker 2: contained seventy four prior felony charges, thirty convictions, five incarcerations.
- 14:59Speaker 2: Police say a low car dealership called them after several
- 15:02Speaker 2: failed attempts to collect thousands of dollars that Hirshcorn owed them.
- 15:07Speaker 2: Police got an arrest warrant, located Hirshcorn, and arrested him
- 15:12Speaker 2: again for fraud. So all right, finally still in Florida.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Not many great expectations for a drunken, pantsiless Florida man.
- 15:25Speaker 2: This is right, got himself arrested and told cops that
- 15:28Speaker 2: he was Charles Dickens. Police picked up the man who
- 15:31Speaker 2: was walking around a parking lot with only a T
- 15:34Speaker 2: shirt and no pants. They noted that his privates were
- 15:37Speaker 2: on display and he had two bottles of wine and
- 15:41Speaker 2: a can of beer. When he was asked to identify himself,
- 15:44Speaker 2: he said his name was Charles Dickens, yes like the writer.
- 15:49Speaker 2: But officers had their doubts and soon learned the fifty
- 15:52Speaker 2: six year old was in fact not Charles Dickens. His
- 15:57Speaker 2: name Vincent Conroy, and he was arrested with indecent exposure
- 16:01Speaker 2: and providing a false name to police. So yeah, there's
- 16:09Speaker 2: a lot of jokes that you could do with this.
- 16:12Speaker 2: I mean, the fact that he was a naked drunk
- 16:15Speaker 2: man in Florida and knew who Charles Dickens was is
- 16:17Speaker 2: probably an accomplishment. Today's show brought to you by Columbus

- 19:09Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
- 19:12Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
- 19:14Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
- 19:17Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
- 19:20Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
- 19:24Speaker 2: And they do those as well. Seven oh six thy

- 19:34Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show. Right after the break, all right, let's
- 19:45Speaker 2: talk dog names by state. Most popular dog names. There's
- 19:50Speaker 2: sixty eight million households in the country with at least
- 19:52Speaker 2: one dog. And I mean dogs have names. This report
- 19:59Speaker 2: says every dog has a name. But I don't know
- 20:01Speaker 2: that every dog has a name. I think that's uh,
- 20:05Speaker 2: it's kind of you know, I mean, some dogs maybe
- 20:08Speaker 2: don't have names. I've known some dogs I don't know
- 20:11Speaker 2: that they had names. But most popular dog names throughout
- 20:15Speaker 2: the US Luna, Bella, Charlie, Max, and Daisy. There's more
- 20:20Speaker 2: dogs named Luna than any other name. When you break
- 20:24Speaker 2: it down by state, though Bella is at the top
- 20:27Speaker 2: of the list in twenty two of the states. Other
- 20:33Speaker 2: popular names in there Lucy, Coco, Milo, Cooper, and Teddy
- 20:40Speaker 2: among the most popular names for dogs Georgia and Alabama. Yep,
- 20:45Speaker 2: Bella where Bella states here. South Carolina is a Teddy state,
- 20:53Speaker 2: and Florida is a Luna state. Other than Florida and
- 20:57Speaker 2: South Carolina, throughout the southeast really all the way over
- 21:01Speaker 2: to Texas. A lot of Bella states, with Arkansas being
- 21:05Speaker 2: the only I guess Chloe state in the country. Kind
- 21:09Speaker 2: of interesting. But if you're basing this on the fact
- 21:14Speaker 2: that every dog has a name, I suppose if you
- 21:16Speaker 2: met a dog that you didn't know its name, you
- 21:18Speaker 2: could just call it Bella and probably be safe. I
- 21:20Speaker 2: don't know, I knew. JD Power customer Satisfaction survey of
- 21:24Speaker 2: airline passengers has Jet Blue in Southwest earning the top scores.
- 21:29Speaker 2: Jet Blue topping the list and customer satisfaction for the
- 21:32Speaker 2: business slash first class cabins and was second for its
- 21:37Speaker 2: Premium Economy and Standard Economy products. Southwest the preferred economy
- 21:41Speaker 2: carrier for a fourth straight year. The survey also found
- 21:46Speaker 2: that despite a struggling economy and recent problems with flights
- 21:50Speaker 2: and FAA shortages, overall passenger satisfaction is actually up from
- 21:55Speaker 2: one year ago. Maybe people are just a little more
- 21:59Speaker 2: optimistic than they were a year ago. I don't know.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Just loving not a possible idea. Would you donate an
- 22:06Speaker 2: organ to save a loved one. Maybe it's something you've
- 22:11Speaker 2: thought about before, Maybe you've never even pondered this. Well, surprisingly, maybe,
- 22:17Speaker 2: a new survey finds that the majority of us would not.
- 22:22Speaker 2: The survey found just thirty nine percent of respondents said
- 22:25Speaker 2: they'd be willing to donate an organ to a family
- 22:27Speaker 2: member or a friend, so they wouldn't give them a kidney.
- 22:34Speaker 2: But what would they do for a loved one? Eighty
- 22:37Speaker 2: two percent said that they would share a windfall of
- 22:39Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars. Sixty two percent said they would
- 22:42Speaker 2: act as a reference for a job or housing. Fifty
- 22:45Speaker 2: three percent said they would wait in line for them
- 22:48Speaker 2: at the DMV. I don't know if that means with
- 22:51Speaker 2: them or just wait in line on their behalf, but
- 22:55Speaker 2: there you go. I think I understand the DMV is
- 22:58Speaker 2: not a fun experience, but that's set in the bar
- 23:00Speaker 2: pretty low. And if only fifty three percent of people
- 23:03Speaker 2: would wait in line with or for you on behalf,
- 23:08Speaker 2: that's kind of strange, all right. Well, there's a woman
- 23:14Speaker 2: on social media who says that she asked chat gpt
- 23:20Speaker 2: about whether or not she should quit her job, and
- 23:22Speaker 2: chat GPT told her to do so. Apparently, she laid
- 23:26Speaker 2: out some scenarios there and said she's got a toxic
- 23:30Speaker 2: work environment, she's underpaid, underappreciated for years and stress was
- 23:33Speaker 2: affecting her mental and physical help. And that's when I
- 23:39Speaker 2: guess she reached her limit and she asked chat GPT
- 23:41Speaker 2: point blank what she should do, and according to her post,
- 23:46Speaker 2: told her that she should quit. This is how she
- 23:50Speaker 2: this is what it said. Drop the project, stop working.
- 23:53Speaker 2: You've already exceeded your capacity, given explicit warnings and been ignored.
- 23:58Speaker 2: Continuing reward rewards their dysfunction and punishes your body. Let
- 24:02Speaker 2: the consequences fall where they belong. Your health is not
- 24:06Speaker 2: collateral for bad leadership. Walk away from the task. Now
- 24:10Speaker 2: leave early. You've already worked through breaks and picked up
- 24:14Speaker 2: extra tasks. Log your hours is full. Do not ask,
- 24:19Speaker 2: do not announce, just go And she said for her,
- 24:23Speaker 2: it clicked and she decided, you know what, this is
- 24:26Speaker 2: what I'm going to do, and she did it. You know,
- 24:30Speaker 2: there's a couple of things that chat GPT does really
- 24:35Speaker 2: well for us, whether or not giving this kind of advice.
- 24:42Speaker 2: I mean, obviously it hit for this person and probably
- 24:44Speaker 2: was maybe the right call for them, at least we hope.
- 24:48Speaker 2: But you know, these sort of therapy scenarios in chat
- 24:52Speaker 2: GPT therapy doesn't really tell you things like you need
- 24:57Speaker 2: to go do this, So it's not really so much therapy.
- 25:00Speaker 2: This is more magic eight ball. I guess I don't know.
- 25:03Speaker 2: So if you decide that you're gonna ask chat GPT
- 25:08Speaker 2: what to do about your job and it tells you
- 25:11Speaker 2: to quit or gives you solid advice, I would love
- 25:15Speaker 2: to hear about that. That's an interesting way that things
- 25:19Speaker 2: played out for her, So I hope it works out
- 25:23Speaker 2: for the best. For if it's true, it's on the internet,
- 25:26Speaker 2: so maybe it's not even real. That'll do it for
