Strange and Bizarre News Before a Holiday Weekend · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

0:01
Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews you need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. This is the West Carol Morning.
0:08
Speaker 2: Show, Wednesday morning, July second. I'm West Thanks for joining me.
0:17
Speaker 2: A cool start to the day here in Northern Queensland
0:23
Speaker 2: as the Big Old Australian Adventure continues, and quite a
0:29
Speaker 2: bit cooler last night here. And when I say cooler
0:33
Speaker 2: for wintertime, I just want to make sure that you
0:36
Speaker 2: understand we're talking mid fifties to high fifties. Was the
0:43
Speaker 2: very chilly night we had last night. So yeah, this
0:47
Speaker 2: morning it's up at about sixty sixty one maybe, so
0:52
Speaker 2: I am still doing the show outdoors in shorts. And
0:57
Speaker 2: again this isn't a brag. I know you guys are
0:59
Speaker 2: getting some pretty serious heat that's been really gripping the
1:05
Speaker 2: northeast and the south is the South. We know what
1:09
Speaker 2: happens when it gets hot, and I know there's been
1:11
Speaker 2: some rain and things, but just a very pleasant, almost
1:17
Speaker 2: like a fall day that we're getting here as we
1:21
Speaker 2: start our day here on the second. Now, this is
1:24
Speaker 2: of course a holiday week, and this will be our
1:28
Speaker 2: Friday edition of a show. Since it's you know, the
1:32
Speaker 2: last show of the week. I'll take the third and
1:36
Speaker 2: Independence Day third and fourth. It's called the fourth of
1:40
Speaker 2: July here. That's all it is. There's no Independence Day here.
1:44
Speaker 2: And that's not knocking these guys. It's just they don't
1:47
Speaker 2: have our Independence Day. I remember my dad was here
1:50
Speaker 2: on a trip with me back at my wedding, and
1:53
Speaker 2: he asked someone if they had Fourth of July here.
1:56
Speaker 2: Of course they do. It happens every year right after
1:58
Speaker 2: the third of July and just before the But this
2:01
Speaker 2: will be our end of week edition of the show,
2:05
Speaker 2: and I'll get to strange and bizarre news and even
2:07
Speaker 2: some of our positivity that we've started our shows with
2:11
Speaker 2: now on our Fridays, which is, you know, Wednesday this week.
2:16
Speaker 2: But before we get to that, I just want to
2:17
Speaker 2: quickly touch on the big beautiful bill, the tie break
2:21
Speaker 2: cast by the Vice President, and it moves ahead. It's done.
2:26
Speaker 2: And this of course has reignited the fury, the feud,
2:32
Speaker 2: the war between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, as Elon
2:35
Speaker 2: Musk is vowing to start his own political party and
2:39
Speaker 2: do everything he can to shut down Republicans who voted
2:45
Speaker 2: for this bill. And there is a considerable amount of
2:56
Speaker 2: what's the word here, there's a little bit on the
2:58
Speaker 2: left of people going to, you know, celebrate rating at
3:01
Speaker 2: Trump and Musk are back to feuding again. There's some
3:04
Speaker 2: on the right saying, you know, screw you, Elon Musk.
3:08
Speaker 2: We didn't need you anyway. I don't know where all
3:12
Speaker 2: of this plays out in time. I do know that
3:16
Speaker 2: someone like Elon Musk, certainly I think as a business
3:20
Speaker 2: owner and someone who is capable of really diving into
3:26
Speaker 2: budgetary things, someone who himself is an engineer, someone who
3:31
Speaker 2: views things and says I can fix things and has
3:34
Speaker 2: been very good at it. Someone who's had success with
3:38
Speaker 2: electric car, someone who's had obvious success with rocket science,
3:44
Speaker 2: which is not easy. There's a reason that we say,
3:48
Speaker 2: you know, this isn't rocket science. And you know, when
3:52
Speaker 2: you start putting it on the caliber of brain surgery
3:55
Speaker 2: and all those sorts of things, you know, rocket science
3:58
Speaker 2: isn't easy. Rockets isn't easy. Space is hard, doctor Seawan
4:03
Speaker 2: Cruise and my good friend and I talk about this
4:06
Speaker 2: on Mate of Stars all the time. It's hard. Space
4:10
Speaker 2: is hard as a reason that it takes time before
4:14
Speaker 2: we can do things. We can make launches and make
4:17
Speaker 2: launches happen, and make missions like going back to the
4:20
Speaker 2: Moon happen and going to Mars, and sometimes it's just
4:23
Speaker 2: a matter of launch and fail, launch and fail. That
4:26
Speaker 2: is a system that the folks at SpaceX do. So
4:31
Speaker 2: my point is Elon Musk is an engineer, and that's
4:34
Speaker 2: someone who takes things and fixes them. Something's broken, he
4:38
Speaker 2: fixes them him taking a look at the budgets and
4:42
Speaker 2: looking at expenses and waste. As the as a volunteer
4:48
Speaker 2: for DOGE, I think his services by most on the right,
4:54
Speaker 2: many in the middle, we're appreciated. Now. Whether he's capable
4:58
Speaker 2: of going off and starting his his own political party
5:01
Speaker 2: remains to be seen. I think it's worth at the
5:04
Speaker 2: very least acknowledging the fact that most things he makes
5:09
Speaker 2: an attempt at he seems to be reasonably successful. I
5:13
Speaker 2: just saw pelican swoop in and grab I guess fish
5:17
Speaker 2: out of the water. That was a pretty impressive thing
5:20
Speaker 2: to see and witness on a random Wednesday morning for
5:24
Speaker 2: me and I have a little work truck going by.
5:29
Speaker 2: It's the I guess one of the weeds. They spray
5:34
Speaker 2: for weeds, I guess is what they're doing. But anyway,
5:37
Speaker 2: so here we are on a Wednesday morning, which is
5:40
Speaker 2: kind of a Friday morning, and that means it's time
5:44
Speaker 2: to get into strange and bizarre news. But first I
5:46
Speaker 2: want to talk about this shelter dog named Sienna made
5:53
Speaker 2: a big impression at an adoption event in Virginia by
5:56
Speaker 2: alerting a man that she'd never seen before that he
6:02
Speaker 2: was about to have a seizure. During the event, Sienna,
6:05
Speaker 2: three year old lab and pit bull mix, suddenly pulled
6:09
Speaker 2: her hammer towards a man named Josh and gently placed
6:11
Speaker 2: her paw on his leg. Wasn't a cute moment. It
6:15
Speaker 2: was a cute moment, but that's not really what was
6:17
Speaker 2: going on. Josh has epilepsy and had forgotten his medication
6:21
Speaker 2: that morning. Somehow, some way, Sienna knew that something was
6:25
Speaker 2: wrong and very likely helped Josh avoid having a seizure.
6:29
Speaker 2: Josh and his family benefited from the event, and so
6:32
Speaker 2: did Sienna, as she found a forever home with a
6:35
Speaker 2: woman in Roanoke who, amazing as it sounds, happens to
6:39
Speaker 2: have a son with epilepsy. Some good news on our
6:44
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, right, How about this story? Molly Schaeffer wasn't
6:51
Speaker 2: exactly the most outgoing student at Wannakee High School in Wisconsin.
6:56
Speaker 2: I think I'm saying that right during her teenage year Wisconsin,
7:00
Speaker 2: and I'm pretty sure I said that one right. It's
7:03
Speaker 2: the Wanna Key. I'm not sure there's extra vivals in there.
7:06
Speaker 2: During her teenage years, Molly worked through social anxiety issues,
7:11
Speaker 2: which made it difficult to connect with her classmates on
7:13
Speaker 2: a personal level every day. Even though Mollie didn't make
7:17
Speaker 2: daily connections, she still cared about her classmates, and that
7:21
Speaker 2: care unveiled at the end of her senior year of
7:25
Speaker 2: high school when she presented forty four of her classmates
7:28
Speaker 2: with hand painted portraits. Her classmates were stunned and moved,
7:33
Speaker 2: many expressing regret for not getting to know her sooner.
7:36
Speaker 2: Mollie said she put about thirteen hours into each painting,
7:40
Speaker 2: which adds up to about six hundred total hours of work.
7:44
Speaker 2: The time and effort that she put into the incredible
7:48
Speaker 2: project is incredible, according to one student that had a
7:53
Speaker 2: painting made for them. Molly explained that the painting adventure
7:56
Speaker 2: helped create connections, even if it wasn't the normal back
7:59
Speaker 2: in forth exchanges during the day. You can't go through
8:03
Speaker 2: life thinking that you don't have friends because they don't
8:06
Speaker 2: like you. Molly explained, because that's not the case. People
8:09
Speaker 2: aren't thinking that hard about you. It's all in your head.
8:12
Speaker 2: You just have to try. That is really solid advice,
8:16
Speaker 2: and I think it's something that a lot of people
8:18
Speaker 2: don't take time to realize, is there are many moments
8:22
Speaker 2: in our lives where we sort of what's the term,
8:25
Speaker 2: we let people live rent free in our heads in
8:28
Speaker 2: a space. And I think that absolutely applies in a
8:31
Speaker 2: case like this, because this is someone who basically said,
8:36
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm not going to convince myself these
8:38
Speaker 2: people are all sitting around thinking about me, because in reality,
8:42
Speaker 2: they probably aren't thinking about me at all, not in
8:44
Speaker 2: a negative way necessarily. And you can take the fact
8:47
Speaker 2: that they're not thinking about you at all and turn
8:50
Speaker 2: that into something where you feel sorry for yourself. But
8:53
Speaker 2: that's not what she did. Molly decided, Know what I'm
8:55
Speaker 2: going to do is I'm going to make this an
8:59
Speaker 2: opportunity for me to do something very special for each
9:02
Speaker 2: of them. And at the very least they're going to
9:05
Speaker 2: remember her now and when the reunions come around, they'll
9:09
Speaker 2: certainly be thinking very much about her. But it is
9:14
Speaker 2: I appreciate the fact that they see this as a
9:17
Speaker 2: missed opportunity to connect with her, and that they did
9:21
Speaker 2: not do that while they were there in school with her.
9:24
Speaker 2: So nice job, Molly, nice and thoughtful. Now, I do
9:29
Speaker 2: also understand that for some maybe this was a bit
9:31
Speaker 2: of a creepy thing, because you know, there she is
9:35
Speaker 2: for thirteen hours staring at some sort of a photo
9:39
Speaker 2: or something of them. Or did she just memorize their faces?
9:43
Speaker 2: Did she take pictures secretly with her phone. There could
9:47
Speaker 2: be an element of creep to it, but I'm going
9:48
Speaker 2: to not focus on that. I want to focus on
9:50
Speaker 2: the positive this morning. So good for you, Molly. All Right,
9:54
Speaker 2: that's enough of the happy news stuff or slightly creepy
9:57
Speaker 2: happy news stuff. Let's get into some strain engine bizarre
10:00
Speaker 2: news from around the world. Last week we brought you
10:03
Speaker 2: a story about an alligator. I'm in Australia, you know,
10:07
Speaker 2: land of the crocodiles. But typically when we have these
10:13
Speaker 2: stories out of Florida, they don't involve crocodiles, usually gators.
10:20
Speaker 2: And we have another gator story for you to kick
10:22
Speaker 2: off our stringe and bizarre news. Let's do this. It's
10:25
Speaker 2: the heat, of course, it's driven so many people either
10:30
Speaker 2: to cooler climates, or you know, to some sort of
10:34
Speaker 2: an activity to cool down, like you know, jumping in
10:37
Speaker 2: the pool. But it's also important to remember that animals
10:42
Speaker 2: sometimes get so hot that they just need a dip
10:45
Speaker 2: in the swimming pool or some kind of water. But
10:47
Speaker 2: if the only water they can find is a swimming pool,
10:52
Speaker 2: so be it. Florida man walked up to his backyard
10:55
Speaker 2: swimming pool found a large alligator swimming lapse of swimming laps.
11:00
Speaker 2: But that's the way it's written. Edward mcclama decided it
11:04
Speaker 2: wasn't a good day to dive in his pool, and
11:06
Speaker 2: he called the Florida Fish and Wildlife to come get
11:09
Speaker 2: the gator out. A trapper arrived successfully coaxed the intruder
11:13
Speaker 2: out of the pool, serving as a reminder make sure
11:16
Speaker 2: to look in a pool before you jump in, especially
11:20
Speaker 2: if you know there's wildlife in the area, and especially
11:23
Speaker 2: if you live in Florida probably parts of Australia as well,
11:27
Speaker 2: you'd have to worry about crocs being there. With severe
11:30
Speaker 2: weather that's happened in a few places and recently out
11:36
Speaker 2: in the Middle, specifically in Indiana and Indianapolis, some heavy
11:41
Speaker 2: rain and something weird dropped out of the sky into
11:45
Speaker 2: a neighborhood. A large, mysterious dome suddenly appeared in a
11:49
Speaker 2: neighborhood on the city's east side, sparking curiosity and confusion.
11:53
Speaker 2: It was the first time noticed after a strong storm.
11:57
Speaker 2: No one knows for sure exactly where it's from and
12:00
Speaker 2: how it got there. Early reports suggesting it was a
12:04
Speaker 2: ray dome, which is a protective shell for radar equipment,
12:08
Speaker 2: and was likely carried by the wind from a nearby facility.
12:13
Speaker 2: Regardless of what it is or where it came from,
12:15
Speaker 2: it became a bit of a tourist attraction as people
12:19
Speaker 2: stopped by to take photos of this weird dome that
12:24
Speaker 2: dropped out of the sky onder North Pasadena Street in Indianapolis.
12:30
Speaker 2: It's good to know that we, the people of Columbus,
12:34
Speaker 2: Georgia and the Chattahoochee Valley aren't the only ones that'll
12:37
Speaker 2: take some smallish I mean, it's not small, but what
12:42
Speaker 2: would normally be kind of an insignificant thing and turn
12:44
Speaker 2: it into a tourist attraction. So good for the people
12:47
Speaker 2: of Indianapolis enjoy the things that drop out of the sky.
12:52
Speaker 2: I guess I would have been concerned. Maybe it came
12:54
Speaker 2: from deep space and that it would crack open and
12:57
Speaker 2: suddenly something or someone would come out of it. But
13:02
Speaker 2: apparently that's not the case all right. When you think
13:08
Speaker 2: about Buffalo Wild Wings, you probably think of chicken wings certainly,
13:15
Speaker 2: and you know that's what they do. But typically when
13:19
Speaker 2: you're at Buffalo Wild Wings you see chickens and sauce
13:23
Speaker 2: and served on a plate. But not necessarily the case
13:26
Speaker 2: at Buffalo Wild Wings in Des Moines, Iowa, where a
13:30
Speaker 2: live chicken was spotted strutting up to the front door
13:33
Speaker 2: of the restaurant, prompting a call to animal rescuers. The
13:36
Speaker 2: Animal Rescue League of Iowa responded and safely wrangled a
13:41
Speaker 2: feathered intruder before it could be a customer, I guess,
13:47
Speaker 2: before it could actually enter the restaurant and maybe end
13:50
Speaker 2: up on the menu. Officials joked on social media, what
13:53
Speaker 2: the cluck talk about? A chicken on the wrong side
13:56
Speaker 2: of the road. The hen, described as poor and confused,
14:02
Speaker 2: was rescued in safe and sound. Typically, when you're walking
14:05
Speaker 2: up to a restaurant and there's an animal nearby, you
14:08
Speaker 2: assume that it's a pet, right you know, you see
14:14
Speaker 2: like restaurant dogs restaurant cats. Cats aren't always good some
14:18
Speaker 2: types of restaurants. Having a cat nearby, it's not necessarily
14:21
Speaker 2: a good thing, but you know, you might have a
14:23
Speaker 2: restaurant dog. A restaurant chicken would be weird, especially if
14:28
Speaker 2: it's a chicken restaurant, as it was in this case.
14:32
Speaker 2: A quick bathroom stop has landed a Pennsylvania man behind bars.
14:35
Speaker 2: Police say forty seven year old Jeremy Hartman of Martinsburg
14:40
Speaker 2: is facing multiple charges after he allegedly detonated a commercial
14:44
Speaker 2: grade firework inside a toilet at River's Casino in Pittsburgh.
14:51
Speaker 2: Casino security had initially detained Hartman for trespassing in a
14:55
Speaker 2: closed restaurant and attempting to steal up to four thousand
14:58
Speaker 2: dollars worth of alcohol. While being escorted to a secure area,
15:03
Speaker 2: he asked to use the restroom. That's when police say
15:06
Speaker 2: he lit the firework placed it in the toilet of
15:09
Speaker 2: an employee restroom. The explosion lightly injured a casino worker
15:15
Speaker 2: who was nearby. A search of Hartman's vehicle in the
15:18
Speaker 2: casino garage turned up more fireworks, prompting a full sweep
15:22
Speaker 2: of the bomb squad and canine unit. Hartman now faces
15:25
Speaker 2: a list of charges including felony, arson, theft, criminal mischief,
15:31
Speaker 2: and risking a catastrophe. I think risking a catastrophe is
15:37
Speaker 2: a charge that we don't use enough. I think there
15:39
Speaker 2: should be more of that anytime. They could just lump
15:44
Speaker 2: that in as an extra charge for someone. Any word
15:47
Speaker 2: on whether or not he told an employee of the
15:49
Speaker 2: casino that he really dropped a bomb in the restroom,
15:52
Speaker 2: that's another question I've got for this story. A deputy
15:56
Speaker 2: in Washington State showed off some impressive roping skills to
16:00
Speaker 2: corrala suspect and probably not his first rodeo. Police in
16:05
Speaker 2: Pierce County, Washington, responded to a call at a residential
16:09
Speaker 2: property where a man was reportedly threatening his parents with
16:12
Speaker 2: a chainsaw. When deputies arrived, the thirty two year old
16:15
Speaker 2: suspect ran into a swamp on the property with his
16:18
Speaker 2: chainsaw and refused to come out. Deputies were patient, remained
16:23
Speaker 2: in a standoff with him for an hour until a
16:25
Speaker 2: deputy got the idea to put on his cowboy hat
16:29
Speaker 2: and grab a lasso. Seconds later, the chainsaw wielding man
16:33
Speaker 2: was tied up and dragged out of the swamp. He
16:36
Speaker 2: was arrested and taken to the hospital for mental evaluation.
16:42
Speaker 2: I really have more questions than we got answers in this.
16:46
Speaker 2: With the chainsaw, this, I don't know. This seems like
16:49
Speaker 2: it could be could come in handy in a horror
16:53
Speaker 2: movie with some kind of crazy chainsaw wielding killer. I
17:01
Speaker 2: didn't know that it would just be that easy. Tie
17:04
Speaker 2: them up with a with a rope. You know. Usually
17:08
Speaker 2: they have to cut their heads off and bury him
17:11
Speaker 2: and then they somehow come back to life again. But
17:13
Speaker 2: if you could just tie them up, maybe that's the
17:16
Speaker 2: way to go. I don't know they do that in
17:17
Speaker 2: the old vampire movies. I know you had to put
17:19
Speaker 2: the stake in the heart and then tie them up
17:21
Speaker 2: with ropes laced with garlic. I don't know. Today's show
17:26
Speaker 2: brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space
17:30
Speaker 2: Science Center.
17:31
Speaker 3: Hey everyone, this is doctor Sean Cruisin. I'm the executive
17:34
Speaker 3: director of Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
17:38
Speaker 3: I want to tell you about a very special exhibit
17:41
Speaker 3: that we have on display the summer. It's so big
17:44
Speaker 3: that it can't even fit in our own exhibit gallery.
17:47
Speaker 3: It's just too many pieces. This is a collection of
17:51
Speaker 3: items from the personal collection of astronaut David R. Scott.
17:57
Speaker 3: Dave Scott flew on Gemini eight with Neil Armstrong, he
18:00
Speaker 3: flew on Apollo nine a dress rehearsal for the moon landing,
18:04
Speaker 3: and then most importantly perhaps he commanded Apollo fifteen, where
18:08
Speaker 3: he became the first person to ever drive a car
18:10
Speaker 3: on the service of the Moon. Because Dave's brother, Tom
18:14
Speaker 3: lived and worked here in Columbus, Georgia, with our Columbus
18:17
Speaker 3: Chamber of Commerce, we got to be good friends with Tom.
18:20
Speaker 3: Tom has coordinated a very generous donation of artifacts and
18:24
Speaker 3: memorabilia from the Scott Brothers collection to us here at
18:28
Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center. And again, that collection got
18:32
Speaker 3: so overwhelmingly large we couldn't put it on display here.
18:35
Speaker 3: That's why we're doing the exhibit at the Bow Bartlet Center.
18:38
Speaker 3: They are open from eleven am to four pm Tuesday
18:41
Speaker 3: through Saturday. Go down and check out this great exhibit
18:45
Speaker 3: on display at the Bow Bartlet Center. Check out all
18:47
Speaker 3: the other wonderful pieces of art work down there as well,
18:50
Speaker 3: and then come visit us here at Columbus State University's
18:53
Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center.
18:55
Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of
18:57
Speaker 2: Columbus for all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
19:02
Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
19:07
Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
19:10
Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
19:14
Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of square in that
19:16
Speaker 2: away for you, and while they're there, you can always
19:19
Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
19:22
Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
19:25
Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
19:28
Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
19:31
Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
19:34
Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
19:38
Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got.
19:41
Speaker 2: With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in
19:44
Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
19:48
Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
19:50
Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
19:53
Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
19:58
Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
19:59
Speaker 2: cars there, or maybe you just want a little man caved.
20:02
Speaker 2: You'd like to be able to open the door up
20:04
Speaker 2: and not invite all the insects in. They can do
20:07
Speaker 2: that for you as well, and again they do after
20:09
Speaker 2: hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having
20:12
Speaker 2: your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door
20:15
Speaker 2: won't open and you need somebody to come help, and
20:18
Speaker 2: they do those as well. Seven oh six thorty five

20:29
Speaker 2: Morning Show right after the break, all right, what exactly
20:41
Speaker 2: is it that makes you cool? Has this kind of
20:45
Speaker 2: been one of those things that we just kind of
20:47
Speaker 2: understand And sometimes it's easier to put a finger on
20:53
Speaker 2: it than others. Sometimes there's no real explanation. Sometimes people
20:58
Speaker 2: are cool and it doesn't make any sense. Sometimes people
21:02
Speaker 2: are cool and it makes perfect sense. And I guess
21:07
Speaker 2: what we really needed was science to get involved, or
21:12
Speaker 2: at the very least somebody to put a study together
21:14
Speaker 2: and let's get to the bottom of what makes someone cool.
21:17
Speaker 2: And someone did that. A global study done of six
21:20
Speaker 2: thousand people in thirteen countries across six continents found the
21:25
Speaker 2: traits of coolness that are universal. Researchers identified these six
21:31
Speaker 2: personality traits of what they call cool people extraversion, hedonism,
21:39
Speaker 2: and that's just defined as seeking pleasure and enjoyment, at
21:43
Speaker 2: least in this study. I think there are other definitions
21:46
Speaker 2: for hedonism, power, having influence and control, adventurousness, openness, and
21:52
Speaker 2: autonomy just valuing independence and self direction. It says, however,
21:58
Speaker 2: the traits that make someone cool a different from what
22:01
Speaker 2: makes someone good. And while good people are often warm, agreeable,
22:05
Speaker 2: and traditional, cool individuals tend to be daring, independent, non conforming,
22:11
Speaker 2: and pleasure seekers. So there's a difference between being a
22:15
Speaker 2: good person and a cool person. I guess it's possible
22:19
Speaker 2: to be both. Researchers also found that coolness plays a
22:23
Speaker 2: social role by challenging norms, inspiring change, and influencing trends.
22:29
Speaker 2: So yeah, there you go. If you wanted to know
22:32
Speaker 2: that could pinpoint it. Fonsie is cool, you know, and
22:36
Speaker 2: Phonsie was a good person. Remember he went to the
22:38
Speaker 2: South and ended racism that time, which I think is commendable.
22:42
Speaker 2: And it's also cool, you know, anytime you can, at
22:47
Speaker 2: least in that TV Universe of the Happy Days and
22:51
Speaker 2: morek and Mindy Universe and Happy Days, More and Mindy
22:56
Speaker 2: And wasn't there another show connected to all that? Anyway?
22:59
Speaker 2: If you can Laverne and Shirley, that was all part
23:01
Speaker 2: of that too, wasn't it. So if you can end
23:04
Speaker 2: racism in the South, you know, late sixties, early seventies,
23:11
Speaker 2: whenever he did that, I think that's pretty cool. And
23:14
Speaker 2: then you jump the shark on the motorcycle normally that
23:17
Speaker 2: would be cool. Doesn't necessarily make you a good person, though,
23:20
Speaker 2: So there's that wind picking up here as we're moving
23:25
Speaker 2: on through the show. Do you ever need a vacation
23:28
Speaker 2: to recover from your vacation? I may be in the
23:30
Speaker 2: middle of one of those vacations myself, not complaining, but
23:34
Speaker 2: this month long trip to Australia could be one of
23:37
Speaker 2: those vacations where I get home and think, man, I
23:40
Speaker 2: need some recovery time. We're just very active, and that's
23:43
Speaker 2: a good thing. When you come this far halfway around
23:46
Speaker 2: the world. You want to do everything that you can
23:48
Speaker 2: possibly do. That's definitely something I've picked up from my
23:51
Speaker 2: Australian family and friends in the last thirty years of
23:56
Speaker 2: it's been almost thirty years since my first trip here,
23:58
Speaker 2: by the way. All right, so if you do need
24:03
Speaker 2: recovery time after a vacation, then you're probably a parent.
24:07
Speaker 2: A new survey of parents found that seventy one percent
24:10
Speaker 2: said they need a vacation without their kids to recover
24:13
Speaker 2: from a family trip. The parents surveyed also said it
24:16
Speaker 2: took two and a half days to recover from the
24:18
Speaker 2: stress of a family trip, and one of those one
24:22
Speaker 2: out of three of those, I should say, said it
24:24
Speaker 2: took under an hour for the peace to be broken
24:27
Speaker 2: on a family vacation. Thirty percent said their child has
24:31
Speaker 2: frequent meltdowns while traveling. So Way's parents can keep peace
24:36
Speaker 2: on family vacations. I'll see if we've been guilty of
24:39
Speaker 2: any of these. I'm pretty sure we have bribed the
24:43
Speaker 2: kids with candy or snacks. There we go. We've already
24:46
Speaker 2: pinged this. They're definitely having more junk than they normally do,
24:51
Speaker 2: which is interesting because my in laws here don't eat
24:55
Speaker 2: a lot of junk. But we've definitely bribed our boys,
24:59
Speaker 2: especially the young one one, just to keep some peace.
25:03
Speaker 2: Bought them a toy. Yeah, I did that already on
25:06
Speaker 2: this trip. So we're two for two. Made up a game.
25:11
Speaker 2: I don't know if we've done that yet on this trip,
25:13
Speaker 2: but we've done that on pass trip. Certainly carried them
25:16
Speaker 2: because they didn't want to walk there. Too big for
25:18
Speaker 2: that these days. Let them have screen time with no limits. Yes,
25:23
Speaker 2: there have been some of those days as well on
25:25
Speaker 2: this trip. Promise them a treat or outing when they
25:29
Speaker 2: get home. Haven't had to do that yet. Fed them
25:33
Speaker 2: a treat as a meal. Yes. Made up a song, absolutely, No,
25:39
Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell you what the song was.
25:40
Speaker 2: It was a different version of the song happy. We
25:43
Speaker 2: changed some lyrics around, made up a story. Not on
25:48
Speaker 2: this trip. I don't think. Faked a bathroom break to
25:51
Speaker 2: cry or breathe alone, thankfully. No, haven't done that. Let
25:55
Speaker 2: them wear pajamas or a costume out in public. I
25:58
Speaker 2: think our boys are officially too old for that, so
26:01
Speaker 2: I think we're okay in that regard. So all right.
26:04
Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Wednesday edition of the show.
26:07
Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
26:12
Speaker 2: Be safe over this weekend. Independence Day is certainly a
26:17
Speaker 2: big day for folks imbibing, having a beverage or two
26:22
Speaker 2: to celebrate our country's birthday, So remember really easy to
26:29
Speaker 2: get a ride or take an uber. These days, it's
26:32
Speaker 2: not that difficult to accommodate those things. But be careful
26:36
Speaker 2: while you're out there on the roads, knowing that other
26:38
Speaker 2: people might be having some beverages and making some bad decisions.
26:43
Speaker 2: And then be really careful with the fireworks and maybe
26:46
Speaker 2: have a little respect for times. This isn't New Year's.
26:49
Speaker 2: You don't have to shoot fireworks at midnight dark. That's
26:54
Speaker 2: all you gotta do. If it's dark, you can shoot them.
26:56
Speaker 2: Then cut everybody in the dogs and everything some slack
26:59
Speaker 2: and be a little sensitive. If you got some veterans,
27:03
Speaker 2: especially if you know they have PTSD that live in
27:05
Speaker 2: your neighborhood, an opportunity for you to be considerate and
27:09
Speaker 2: cut them a little slack as well. And you know
27:12
Speaker 2: you want to have your fun, you want to go
27:14
Speaker 2: to a fireworks show, just try to leave that with
27:17
Speaker 2: the same number of fingers that you had when you
27:20
Speaker 2: started your fireworks. If you're doing that at home, and
27:23
Speaker 2: be considerate of those around you, and again just respect
27:27
Speaker 2: those evening times and dogs in your area, because you
27:31
Speaker 2: know a lot of pets go wild and loose when
27:34
Speaker 2: fireworks are being shot, So again, thanks for listening and
27:38
Speaker 2: I'll catch you back here Monday morning.
