- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Friday morning, twenty first day of August. I'm Wes. Thanks
- 0:14Speaker 2: for joining me. We're going to get to our Friday show,
- 0:19Speaker 2: which is, you know, strange and bizarre news from around
- 0:22Speaker 2: the world. We'll get to that. Some positive news. We'll
- 0:25Speaker 2: get to that first. I just wanted to mention this
- 0:28Speaker 2: because I thought this was pretty interesting. This whole concept
- 0:34Speaker 2: of you know, Spider Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe,
- 0:40Speaker 2: like The Apprentice, almost almost the ward, they've made a
- 0:44Speaker 2: joke of that to Iron Man, to Tony start like
- 0:47Speaker 2: he followed along this trajectory, he learned, he was smart,
- 0:52Speaker 2: he got into tech, he did all these things right
- 0:54Speaker 2: there with Tony Stark had the internship quote unquote, and
- 0:59Speaker 2: that relationship with those two characters was was great. Fun
- 1:02Speaker 2: to watch it progress, fun to watch it develop. What's
- 1:06Speaker 2: interesting to find out is that it seems now I
- 1:10Speaker 2: haven't heard an official connection in this, but it certainly
- 1:12Speaker 2: sounds like it. One of the things that happened in
- 1:15Speaker 2: the Marvel Cinematic Universe is that Robert Downey Junior, who
- 1:20Speaker 2: played Iron Man, was smart enough when he got in
- 1:24Speaker 2: on this at the beginning, with Iron Man being the
- 1:26Speaker 2: movie that kicked off the whole MCU officially is that
- 1:31Speaker 2: he set up his contract as he went on with
- 1:35Speaker 2: this where he was making money, but he was also
- 1:38Speaker 2: getting like a back end on these movies. So when
- 1:40Speaker 2: these movies would make, you know, a billion dollars, he
- 1:43Speaker 2: did well. He did really well. And a movie makes
- 1:46Speaker 2: two billion, and he really did well. So now we're
- 1:51Speaker 2: learning a little bit more about Tom Holland's contract with
- 1:55Speaker 2: spider Man. Brand New Day, so the base pay for
- 2:00Speaker 2: him to play Spider Man in his in its fourth
- 2:04Speaker 2: movie as Spider Man. He had done like the lead.
- 2:09Speaker 2: He had done other movies. Obviously he did, you know,
- 2:12Speaker 2: Civil War and Infinity War and End Game, so he's
- 2:15Speaker 2: he's been Spider Man in more than four movies, but
- 2:17Speaker 2: this was the fourth Spider Man movie that he was doing.
- 2:21Speaker 2: And for Brand New Day, which has made a ton
- 2:25Speaker 2: of money, he got a twenty million dollar base pay,
- 2:29Speaker 2: and then he also set up a back end deal
- 2:32Speaker 2: a lah Robert Downey Jr. And it's not capped. So
- 2:39Speaker 2: Tom Holland is continuing to make huge money on this
- 2:44Speaker 2: and they say it could end up being one hundred
- 2:46Speaker 2: million dollars or more. I guess he may already be
- 2:50Speaker 2: at one hundred million dollars and that it will continue
- 2:53Speaker 2: to grow as the movies at like two billion dollars
- 2:55Speaker 2: or whatever. It's made so smart thinking. And it also
- 2:58Speaker 2: probably means if they keep giving him this deal, then
- 3:03Speaker 2: he will be in, you know, the Spider Man costume
- 3:07Speaker 2: for a really long time. At age twenty, he signed
- 3:10Speaker 2: a six film deal and that started with Civil War
- 3:15Speaker 2: that paid him two hundred and fifty thousand dollars five
- 3:18Speaker 2: hundred thousand in Spider Man Homecoming. So he's doing alright.
- 3:23Speaker 2: You know. He also is in The Odyssey, which is
- 3:27Speaker 2: also doing really well in spite of people thinking it
- 3:31Speaker 2: wasn't going to do very well. And apparently I guess
- 3:34Speaker 2: some of the cast from the movie Barbie movie, they're
- 3:40Speaker 2: in to do a sequel. They want something similar to
- 3:42Speaker 2: all this. That's what everybody should be trying to work out.
- 3:46Speaker 2: I just don't know that everybody's going to get that,
- 3:49Speaker 2: cause some of these studios will find a way to
- 3:51Speaker 2: tell you that their movie flopped even when it made
- 3:53Speaker 2: a lot of money. That's been a thing that used
- 3:56Speaker 2: to be a thing I don't know if it still is,
- 3:59Speaker 2: but that used to be a thing. They'd find a
- 4:01Speaker 2: way say this movie didn't make any we lost so
- 4:05Speaker 2: much money on advertising or whatever. We lost a lot
- 4:11Speaker 2: of money in that. So anyway, all right, let's get
- 4:14Speaker 2: to some positive news as we get ready to roll
- 4:17Speaker 2: into our weekend, and we will start with this story.
- 4:20Speaker 2: A few weeks ago in New York City, a woman
- 4:22Speaker 2: named Susannah shared some terrible news with her husband Victor.
- 4:27Speaker 2: She had accidentally tossed a platinum ring into the garbage.
- 4:32Speaker 2: And it wasn't just any ring. It was a century
- 4:35Speaker 2: old family heirloom that survived the Soviet Union after Victors
- 4:39Speaker 2: I guess I should have said Victor, his great grandfather
- 4:43Speaker 2: snuck it out of the country in her mouth in
- 4:48Speaker 2: nineteen eighty nine. Upon hearing the news of the blunder,
- 4:52Speaker 2: Victor took action. He headed down to Brooklyn to their waste
- 4:56Speaker 2: transfer station to dig through a staggering twenty thousand pounds
- 5:02Speaker 2: one hundred foot long pile of rotting garbage. Seeing him
- 5:06Speaker 2: tackle the mountainou smelly trash, a long, kind hearted sanitation
- 5:09Speaker 2: worker Javier Gomez, stepped into help, and after just an
- 5:14Speaker 2: hour of searching, Javier spotted the white bag that Victor
- 5:17Speaker 2: had described and found the ring inside, Victor calling it
- 5:22Speaker 2: truly a miracle. Before Victor left the station, he posed
- 5:26Speaker 2: for a photo with Javier. Victor says he plans to
- 5:28Speaker 2: pass the ring down to his fifteen year old son
- 5:32Speaker 2: and display the photo at his son's wedding should he
- 5:35Speaker 2: get married. As an added bonus, Victor and Javier, Xavier
- 5:43Speaker 2: will likely get an invitation to the wedding from Victor,
- 5:47Speaker 2: according to Victor, so that would be nice. Gets to
- 5:50Speaker 2: come to the wedding, be an honored guest. I think
- 5:54Speaker 2: he should be like best man something, maybe not best man, groomsman.
- 5:59Speaker 2: He should get some some props up there, I think,
- 6:03Speaker 2: all right, how about this. Over the past decades, some
- 6:05Speaker 2: senior women in Massachusetts have been making waves by free
- 6:09Speaker 2: diving into local freshwater ponds to haul out thousands of
- 6:14Speaker 2: pounds of submerged garbage. Founded in twenty seventeen by eighty
- 6:19Speaker 2: five year old Susan Bauer, the Old Ladies Against Underwater
- 6:23Speaker 2: Garbage or oh LuAG. I don't know. It's one of
- 6:28Speaker 2: those acronyms O log maybe I don't know what they
- 6:31Speaker 2: call it. An elite team. I like that it's an
- 6:35Speaker 2: elite team of about thirty women, all sixty four and up,
- 6:40Speaker 2: who kayak and dive across Cape cod. The group has
- 6:43Speaker 2: removed over six thousand pounds of trash, pulling up everything
- 6:47Speaker 2: from beer cans and golf balls to car tires, even
- 6:51Speaker 2: an eighty pound toilet. That's a heavy toilet. To join,
- 6:57Speaker 2: members must pass a rigorous swim test. For these women,
- 7:00Speaker 2: the mission goes beyond physical fitness and environmental cleanup. As
- 7:04Speaker 2: Susan explained, we weigh out of the water wetter kind
- 7:08Speaker 2: or happier and more empowered women. It's the zin of
- 7:13Speaker 2: trash picking. Ah, nice job ladies, the old ladies against
- 7:18Speaker 2: underwater garbage. You gotta draw the line in life at something.
- 7:22Speaker 2: They've drawn the line at underwater garbage. They've drawn the
- 7:26Speaker 2: line at eighty pound toilets submerged in the water. So
- 7:31Speaker 2: good for them, you know, I you look. I know
- 7:35Speaker 2: that their efforts would be wasted. But maybe they could
- 7:37Speaker 2: just come to hear my hometown, Columbus, Georgia and just
- 7:40Speaker 2: pick up trash off the street. Because everybody just seems
- 7:42Speaker 2: to think that's what you do with your trash? Is
- 7:45Speaker 2: you just throw it in the street and it'll just
- 7:47Speaker 2: stay there forever, and nobody's gonna mind. But we mind,
- 7:51Speaker 2: many of us mind. Not all of us, but many
- 7:53Speaker 2: of us mind. So all right, let's get to some
- 7:57Speaker 2: strange and bizarre news from around the world. We had
- 8:00Speaker 2: to Florida, where a man is behind bars after winter
- 8:05Speaker 2: Haven police found him hiding under a mattress while serving
- 8:09Speaker 2: a felony battery warrant. Police say that they paid a
- 8:13Speaker 2: visit to the home of twenty four year old Segri
- 8:15Speaker 2: Nombree and were greeted by his mother, who told him
- 8:19Speaker 2: he's not here. While conducting a search of the home,
- 8:24Speaker 2: they discovered a mattress on the floor with a large
- 8:26Speaker 2: lump in the middle and lifted it up, and there
- 8:29Speaker 2: he was underneath. Cordio investigator's Nombre began calling out for
- 8:33Speaker 2: his mother, who then came running into the room and
- 8:35Speaker 2: started punching. A sergeant's sea. That doesn't go well. She
- 8:40Speaker 2: was already kind of in trouble anyway, He's not here,
- 8:44Speaker 2: he was there. Officers used a taser before taking her
- 8:48Speaker 2: into custody. Authority say methamphetamine was later found on the
- 8:53Speaker 2: mother during a medical evaluation. And another man at the
- 8:57Speaker 2: property was also arrested after officers allegedly filed on meth
- 9:00Speaker 2: and drug parafernala on him too. Nombre was booked on
- 9:05Speaker 2: the outstanding felony battery warrant and faces additional charges. I'm
- 9:10Speaker 2: guessing they may have something to do with meth. I
- 9:14Speaker 2: know that they have to do with resisting officers and
- 9:17Speaker 2: violence and battery on a law enforcement officer. But yeah,
- 9:22Speaker 2: I mean, nothing like going down and then taking your
- 9:24Speaker 2: mom down with you, right, But hey, she's sticking up
- 9:27Speaker 2: for her kids. She's throwing punches or bows or whatever
- 9:30Speaker 2: she's doing, so I mean, at least there's that. Hey,
- 9:35Speaker 2: let's go to the other down under. As a woman
- 9:38Speaker 2: in New Zealand ran into a really tough meter maid
- 9:42Speaker 2: who forced her to pay up even though she died
- 9:45Speaker 2: and came back to life. During her spell of illegal parking.
- 9:50Speaker 2: The fifty four year old, whose name was not released,
- 9:52Speaker 2: collapsed in a supermarket parking lot and was briefly pronounced
- 9:56Speaker 2: dead until a passerby performed CPR and brought her back.
- 10:01Speaker 2: Paramedics arrived at the scene took her to the hospital
- 10:03Speaker 2: for observation, but did not manage to move her car
- 10:07Speaker 2: before her allotted ninety minute parking time was up, leading
- 10:10Speaker 2: to the ticket. The driver received an eighty dollars breach
- 10:14Speaker 2: notice in the mail a few days after her resurrection
- 10:18Speaker 2: after the circumstances were explained to authorities, though the fine
- 10:21Speaker 2: wasn't waved, but merely reduced the thirty dollars. I got
- 10:27Speaker 2: a stupid ticket once for running a red light in
- 10:30Speaker 2: the middle of the night, like four am. And the
- 10:34Speaker 2: light was broken, it wasn't changing, it was malfunctioning. And
- 10:38Speaker 2: I did what you're supposed to do. I stopped and
- 10:41Speaker 2: it was clear, and I waited and it was clear,
- 10:44Speaker 2: and I turned and there was one car on the
- 10:47Speaker 2: road way off in the distance. It happened to be
- 10:48Speaker 2: a police car. And when I got to court to
- 10:52Speaker 2: object to this shenanigans, which it should have just been
- 10:55Speaker 2: thrown out, that judge said, ah, I will reduce it.
- 10:59Speaker 2: I did exactly what supposed to do. And I even't
- 11:01Speaker 2: found out from one of our previous mayors that he
- 11:05Speaker 2: run well, he doesn't anymore, but he he used to
- 11:08Speaker 2: run lights in the middle of the night like that
- 11:10Speaker 2: all the time. He's like, yeah, I just stop and go.
- 11:12Speaker 2: But you're the mayor. I think you could get away
- 11:15Speaker 2: with it. I clearly could not. Let's go back to Florida,
- 11:20Speaker 2: where a man was arrested for driving one hundred and
- 11:22Speaker 2: seventeen miles an hour and swerving in and out of
- 11:25Speaker 2: lanes and told cops he was in a hurry because
- 11:28Speaker 2: he needed to get to the nearest BUCkies. We've all
- 11:32Speaker 2: been there, you know. Start thinking about those beaver nuggets.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Maybe you want, you know, a sandwich. I like the
- 11:41Speaker 2: vanilla pudding. I mean the banana pudding. It's vanilla pudding,
- 11:44Speaker 2: but it's banana pudding because it's got banana, isn't it.
- 11:47Speaker 2: I like the banana pudding, right, big fan of that.
- 11:49Speaker 2: I like the cookies, those are good. The brisket sandwich
- 11:54Speaker 2: pretty good, solid. We've all had that moment, especially to
- 11:59Speaker 2: get to those beaver nuggets. According to the Sheriff's office,
- 12:03Speaker 2: thirty year old Omar Solomon told deputies he was speeding
- 12:08Speaker 2: because he urgently needed to use the bathroom at BUCkies.
- 12:11Speaker 2: And I see that's a different reason to get the BUCkies.
- 12:13Speaker 2: But we've been there too. Who hasn't needed to get
- 12:16Speaker 2: to the bathroom at BUCkies? Problem was the nearest BUCkies
- 12:20Speaker 2: was more than sixty miles away in Daytona Beach, so
- 12:25Speaker 2: he faces a reckless driving excessive speed and was booked
- 12:30Speaker 2: into the county jail on a five hundred dollars bond.
- 12:33Speaker 2: Sheriff's office joke that while Buckis' bathrooms are famously clean,
- 12:36Speaker 2: drivers should probably be a little closer than sixty miles
- 12:40Speaker 2: from their restroom destination before using that excuse. But is
- 12:44Speaker 2: there a better excuse? Then this is going to be
- 12:46Speaker 2: a really clean bathroom, and you just really really need
- 12:51Speaker 2: to go. One hundred and seventeen's kind of fast, though,
- 12:56Speaker 2: I would think going one hundred and seventeen, Oh, that
- 12:58Speaker 2: might have been the reason he needed a bathroom, because
- 13:01Speaker 2: if I was a passenger in that car, I would
- 13:03Speaker 2: need a bathroom at that point. So, you know, just
- 13:09Speaker 2: seems like it's a long way to go or a bathroom,
- 13:13Speaker 2: that's all.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Now.
- 13:13Speaker 2: If he was saying that he was trying to get
- 13:15Speaker 2: the beaver nuggets, maybe he's got a shot. A tortoise
- 13:19Speaker 2: in Manitoba, Canada made at home after two weeks on
- 13:23Speaker 2: the slow run. Molly, a fifteen year old African spurred tortoise,
- 13:28Speaker 2: escaped from her owner's property and was missing for two
- 13:31Speaker 2: weeks before turning up more than twelve miles away at
- 13:35Speaker 2: a nature preserve. Steph initially dismissed reports because tortoises aren't
- 13:40Speaker 2: native to Canada, but a visitor's photo confirmed Molly's identity.
- 13:44Speaker 2: After a two day search of the preserve, animal rescuers
- 13:47Speaker 2: eventually found her in a parking lot and traced her owner.
- 13:51Speaker 2: Officials say Molly may have walked the entire distance herself,
- 13:55Speaker 2: although they suspect a well meaning passer by I may
- 13:58Speaker 2: have picked her up and dropped her off. Maybe she
- 14:01Speaker 2: was just going on vacation. That seems like a good
- 14:03Speaker 2: vacation destination for a tortoise. That would be my guess.
- 14:09Speaker 2: You know, if the walking was done wrong, if somebody
- 14:11Speaker 2: dropped her off, that that cancels it out. Let's go
- 14:14Speaker 2: to Kentucky now, where a woman got an unexpected late
- 14:17Speaker 2: night visitor when a bear wandered into her home through
- 14:21Speaker 2: an open front door and helped itself to some leftover
- 14:24Speaker 2: KFC Kendra north of Harlan County says that she and
- 14:30Speaker 2: her partner left the door open for fresh air and
- 14:33Speaker 2: forgot to close it before bed. After a call from
- 14:37Speaker 2: her sister reporting a bear nearby. North discovered the animal
- 14:40Speaker 2: was actually inside her house. The bear and the fried
- 14:43Speaker 2: chicken damage glass table all also in her house. North
- 14:48Speaker 2: says that the experience taught her a lesson the front
- 14:55Speaker 2: door stay shut at night, especially during what she now
- 14:57Speaker 2: calls bear time. Spare time means something else to different people.
- 15:03Speaker 2: Different spelling means something else to different people. So Hey,
- 15:07Speaker 2: a Colorado mom was having a tough time getting her
- 15:10Speaker 2: son to pose for a first day of school picture,
- 15:12Speaker 2: so she got creative and had him arrested. Fifth grader
- 15:16Speaker 2: Colton Stoltz refused to pose for the photo. Mother enlisted
- 15:20Speaker 2: the help from local police officer in Kennisburg. The officer
- 15:25Speaker 2: stage a playful arrest, complete with handcuffs and patrol car,
- 15:29Speaker 2: while the laughing youngster posed for photos. Pictures went viral
- 15:34Speaker 2: and the family and police department emphasizing that it was
- 15:36Speaker 2: all the joke in a fun way to connect with
- 15:38Speaker 2: kids in the community. Well done, all around. Nice job
- 15:43Speaker 2: for mom, Nice job for the police department. Nice job, Colton,
- 15:48Speaker 2: you worked the angle, you got something that you wanted.

- 19:33Speaker 2: your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have
- 19:39Speaker 2: regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to
- 19:42Speaker 2: get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and
- 19:46Speaker 2: have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus

- 19:55Speaker 2: about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to
- 19:57Speaker 2: make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't
- 20:01Speaker 2: quite what you want it to be and you need
- 20:03Speaker 2: some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you
- 20:06Speaker 2: need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making
- 20:10Speaker 2: a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe
- 20:13Speaker 2: it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got with
- 20:16Speaker 2: colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and
- 20:19Speaker 2: it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd
- 20:23Speaker 2: like to add a screen door to your garage door
- 20:26Speaker 2: system that you can put down and you can use
- 20:28Speaker 2: your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
- 20:32Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
- 20:34Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 20:37Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
- 20:38Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
- 20:41Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
- 20:43Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
- 20:46Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
- 20:50Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help.
- 20:53Speaker 2: And they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five

- 21:04Speaker 2: Show right after the break. Choosing your college major big decision,
- 21:17Speaker 2: and according to career experts, some grads are more likely
- 21:21Speaker 2: than others to wish that they had picked a different path. Now,
- 21:26Speaker 2: this is currently where things are. This isn't necessarily where
- 21:30Speaker 2: things are headed over the next few years as we
- 21:33Speaker 2: get deeper and deeper into AI. A ZIP Recruiter graduate
- 21:38Speaker 2: survey was done and they say that the majors linked
- 21:42Speaker 2: to the most regret are political science and international relations
- 21:49Speaker 2: and public policy. That's all one area that's at the
- 21:52Speaker 2: top of the list. Next communications, media studies and public relations,
- 21:58Speaker 2: and then finally physical sciences like chemistry. Experts say these
- 22:03Speaker 2: fields often come with less divine career paths and lower
- 22:07Speaker 2: entry level salaries, which can leave graduates feeling frustrated, especially
- 22:12Speaker 2: if they're carrying student loan debt. The good news career
- 22:16Speaker 2: coaches stress that no major guarantees success or regret, and
- 22:21Speaker 2: they say adaptability, transferable skills and learning new in demand
- 22:25Speaker 2: skills can matter more than what was printed on your diploma.
- 22:31Speaker 2: So but you also, you know, well, you want to
- 22:35Speaker 2: think about it. You don't want to just dive into
- 22:38Speaker 2: the first thing without thinking about all of this, because,
- 22:41Speaker 2: let's be honest, AI is going to have a big
- 22:45Speaker 2: influence on even these majors and certainly many others. So
- 22:51Speaker 2: just keep all that stuff in mind, right. A new
- 22:54Speaker 2: twenty four hour coffee shop in Beijing has debuted and
- 22:59Speaker 2: it features a humanoid robot barista, and it smashed a
- 23:05Speaker 2: Guinness World record by serving two hundred and two cups
- 23:07Speaker 2: of coffee in a single hour. Customers place specialty orders
- 23:12Speaker 2: for sweetness and intensity using a self service system, and
- 23:17Speaker 2: then the robot barista prepares each cup, with an average
- 23:21Speaker 2: wait time of less than thirty seconds. Reviews were positive,
- 23:25Speaker 2: both about the flavor of the well balanced breused as
- 23:28Speaker 2: well as the speedy service. Of course, you're probably expected
- 23:31Speaker 2: to tip, you know, the robot. The robot deserves a tip.
- 23:36Speaker 2: You can't afford a tip a robot. Why are you
- 23:39Speaker 2: even buying coffee, make it at home. Why are you
- 23:43Speaker 2: buying coffee? Anyway? This is in China, so it's a
- 23:46Speaker 2: whole different thing. There. Some number crutchers at the website

- 24:10Speaker 2: What may be interesting to you is that in the
- 24:13Speaker 2: bottom group of states, number fifty was Alaska, Utah forty nine.
- 24:17Speaker 2: I would have thought that would have been fifty a
- 24:20Speaker 2: lot of Mormons, let's just be like a lot of Mormons.
- 24:24Speaker 2: But forty eight on the list was Georgia. What as
- 24:29Speaker 2: far as loving beer, Georgia number forty eight, that's kind
- 24:34Speaker 2: of wild to me. That doesn't seem to fit at all,
- 24:38Speaker 2: you know, I don't know, I don't know how that
- 24:40Speaker 2: even is a possibility, but that's what it says. Alabama
- 24:45Speaker 2: thirty two. By the way, if you were wondering, that's
- 24:48Speaker 2: where Alabama falls on this list. So, and as far
- 24:52Speaker 2: as most popular beer brands in the US, michelob Ultra

- 25:15Speaker 2: camera company Polaroid teaming up with Pokemon to launch a
- 25:19Speaker 2: limited edition lineup of three retro cameras modeled after the
- 25:23Speaker 2: iconic poke ball pikachuw And I don't even know how
- 25:27Speaker 2: to say this one, Sylvion is that it sorry, never
- 25:33Speaker 2: did the Pokemon thing. I don't know, and I got
- 25:35Speaker 2: nothing against it. I just never did it, So I
- 25:37Speaker 2: don't know how to pronounce sylvion. Maybe it's a cool
- 25:41Speaker 2: throwback considering digital cameras were just starting to get popular
- 25:45Speaker 2: when Pokemon was introduced thirty years ago, so messing around
- 25:49Speaker 2: with an instant camera these days while also celebrating Pokemon
- 25:52Speaker 2: should offer a serious double dose of nostalgia. You know,
- 25:59Speaker 2: you're able to really just dive into all of that
- 26:01Speaker 2: fun all in one shot. I like it. Last week,
- 26:07Speaker 2: an earthquake hit Japan. It was intense, as you've heard,
- 26:10Speaker 2: and it resulted in injuries, deaths, damage to thousands of
- 26:13Speaker 2: buildings and homes. In response to the tragedy, Nintendo of
- 26:17Speaker 2: Japan made a huge donation to relief efforts there. The
- 26:21Speaker 2: company also took the extra step to provide free repairs
- 26:24Speaker 2: of the products for anyone affected by the incident, regardless
- 26:27Speaker 2: of whether or not the products are still under warranty.
- 26:30Speaker 2: Good job, Nintendo, well done. That'll do it for this
