  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, seventeenth day of October. I'm Wes, thanks for
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: joining me. It was a short week, man, it has
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: flown by. First two weeks in change of October have
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: flown by. This all went by so quickly that I
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: did not even acknowledge the fact that we had the
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: dreaded Monday of the thirteenth. I didn't do a show
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Monday because of the fall break that my kids and
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: many other kids in the area. I've heard from a
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: few of you saying, I guess that the fall break
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: for some schools a little different than what they were
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: doing for Muskogee County. But Monday the thirteenth, of course
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: worse than Friday the thirteenth, because it's Monday. Everybody can complain.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I'm superstitious. I don't like Friday the thirteenth. Whatever your
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: deal is with Friday and thirteen, it's not as bad
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: as Monday the thirteenth. And we survived that this week,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: so we got that going for us. And it was
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: a shorter week because of that, at least for me,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: not everybody.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Some of you maybe took the day off or a
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: couple days off this week because of the fall break
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: situation with kids.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: I hope you got some extra time with them at least,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: or they just played video games.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Kids do that. They like to stare at phones and
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: play video games and text their friends breaking news, other
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: breaking news.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Water is wet.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: A couple things I want to mention. I know you've
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: heard me talk about Nutcracker. Get your tickets from the source,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: not from the people who have bought the tickets and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: marked them up for you. That is a regular problem
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: that happens with the show. So go to River Center,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: get them at the box office, get them through Rivercenter
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: dot org, get them through Thecolumbus Ballet dot org. Don't
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: overpay for the tickets. Show coming up thirteenth and fourteenth
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: of December. It's Saturday and Sunday evening show and Mattine's show.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: My seventh time in.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: The role of Mother Ginger.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Hope you'll join us for the Nutcracker Ballet and annual tradition,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: one of the great traditions this time of year. And
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I say that just, you know, not just because I'm
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: part of the show that I'm you know, arguably technically
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the biggest star of the show physically and taller than
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: ever after my next surgery after adding three quarters of
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: an inch getting me back to my original height. So
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I got that going for me. I'll be bigger than
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: ever on stage. Don't miss it the Nutcracker, Thecolumbus Ballet
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: dot org or Rivercenter dot org or the River Center
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Box office. Another quick plug I want to give you.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I haven't really talked about this much here. I don't
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: know that I've talked about it at all here, but
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I want to make sure that you're aware of it.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: If you're a regular listener of this show, and maybe
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: you don't listen to the space podcast we do, Made
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: of Stars, but maybe you have someone in your life
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: who would find this interesting because we are doing something
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: we have not done yet. Yesterday it was our two
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: hundred and fiftieth podcast of Made of Stars. It is
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: a space news podcast we do. We cover the events
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: going on not only out in deep space but on
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Earth and all the work that happens towards, you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: getting people into space, as well as the science behind
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: all of that and the studies and things that happen
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: in conjunction with what's being discovered in space or on Mars,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: or on the Moon or you know, moons of Saturn
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: or Jupiter and all the fun stuff. We cover all
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: of that and then some and we do it in
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: a way that we hope will encourage and inspire the
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: future STEM career holders in the world. And maybe you
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: got one of those kids in your life. It's not
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: uncommon to have a kid in your household that says
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I want to be an astronaut, or I want to
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: work for NASA one day, any of those things. That's
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: part of what they do at Columbus State University's Coca
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center. We try to bring that energy
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to the show that we do every Thursday. As I
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: said yesterday, it was our two hundred and fiftieth podcast
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: version of the show, and we also did it on
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: radio for you know, since two thousand and seven, so
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: a lot of episodes there, and then you know, two
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty exclusively as a podcast. And we're doing
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: something on November first we've never done before. We're going
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: to do Made of Stars live in front of an
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: audience at the Coca Cola Space Science Center in the
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Omnosphere Theater right there in the Planetarium. If you've ever
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: been to Music under the Dome, It's it's going to
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: be like that, except without all the musicians. It'll just
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: be me and doctor Crusin talking about space stuff, and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: we hope that you'll join us. It's free. Happens at
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: six o'clock on Saturday, November first, and then immediately after
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: we finish, they'll have Astronomy Night if you'd like to
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: stick around for that. That is also a free activity.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Doctor Rosa Williams and team will be showing you the
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: nighttime sky, talking about what you're going to see in
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the sky, getting y' all filled in on everything, and
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: then you know, assuming there's no clouds in the way,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: a chance to check out the telescopes and things and
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: get a good look at the evening sky. And that
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: will all happen on November the first back to backfun
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: but we hope you'll join us. Form Ada Stars Live.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Sean will have all the facts and I'll be there
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: asking the questions and just being me. That's what I do.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: That's what I do. You give me an audience, and
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: that's what I do. We have no idea what to expect.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: We've had a lot of interest in this. I hope
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you all turn out. We'd love to fill the place up,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and we'd love to make this a regular event. But
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: we hope to see you there. Made of Stars Live
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: on November first at Columbus State University's Cook Cola Space
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Science Center on Front Avenue. All right, let's talk about
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: some good news as we get ready to kick off
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: the Friday edition of the show with I like story.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: This could have been a bad story. Spoiler alert, it's
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: a good story. There was a runaway tortoise named mister
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: T and decided to take a slow stroll down a
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: busy railway line in England. Passengers standing on the platform
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: waiting for their trains spotted the tortoise on the tracks.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Quickly alerted railroad staff workers responded immediately and safely removed
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: mister T from the tracks, treated to a snack of
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: lettuce and water at the station cafe while the staff
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: posted his photo online, hoping to find his owner. Just
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: a few hours later, mister T's very relieved owner came
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: forward and explained that the tortoise curious, had escaped from
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: a nearby home and gone on a little adventure. Thankfully,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: mister T was unharmed and is now back where he
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: belongs at home. Hopefully his curiosity has been quenched, that
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: thirst for knowledge has been attained, and maybe he knows
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: now not to go on train tracks. Kola is testing
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: out something called reverse vending machines at three college campuses
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: in Scotland, which allows students to trade empty bottles for
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: and cans for credits that they can use at school cafeterias.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Machines are being tested as part of a new program
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: organized by Coke and an environmental charity group in Scotland.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Under the current deal, students will receive twenty seven cents
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: credit for each bottle or can they return to the machine.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: That money can then be used at the campus cafeteria.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: The idea to encourage students to recycle rather than throw
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: away their empty cans, bottles and trash, and maybe even
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: pick up.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: A few things.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you know it's worth twenty seven cents,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: then you pick it up and you take it in
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and you can use it in the cafeteria. Joe Padwick,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: one of the directors of the program, thinks the reverse
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: vending machines will be something that will soon be part
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: of everyday life. And could lead to billions of beverage
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: containers being recycled instead of just tossed into life fills.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Great story, great idea. I like it. How do we
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: get it in high schools? Maybe even all the way
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: down to elementary schools? I think that would be great.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: One more good one because I like this one a lot.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Manolo betten Kerr, owner of Manolo's Bakery and Charlotte, North Carolina,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: has been quietly doing something for the past twelve years,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: baking and delivering free birthday cakes to people experiencing homelessness.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: His mission is simple, to make sure everyone feels seen
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: and celebrated on their big day. He started his tradition
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: after realizing how many people go unnoticed, especially those living
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: on the streets. For Manolo, it's not just about the cake.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: It's about dignity, kindness, and reminding people that they matter.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: He calls the recipients his neighbors, emphasizing that homelessness doesn't
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: make someone any less deserving of joy. This year, betten
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Kerr and his employees hit a milestone delivering their three
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: hundredth cake. Well done, and you gotta know this is
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: made some people feel great. All right, let's get to
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: some strange and bizarre news from around the world. We
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: have a story that actually, if you listen to the
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Mate of Stars podcast yesterday or this week's edition, we
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: had this story on the show, and I thought, well,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: this is too good of a story to not include
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: it in this week's Strange and Bizarre News. So a
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: woman in West Texas was looked up and saw this
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: massive parachute drifting in the sky and it ultimately crash
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: landed in her property on her ranch. Anne Vincent Walter
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: thought the object that landed was a weather balloon called
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: the sheriff's office. Little did she know that the sheriff
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: was already aware of something falling out of the sky,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: because he had received a call from NASA asking if
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: he had located a piece of equipment that they had misplaced.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Lost is the right word, I guess.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Turns out the equipment had been launched from Fort Sumner
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: in New Mexico by NASA's Columbia Scientific Balloon Team. It
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: was part of an experiment to improve telescope accuracy, but
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: strong winds had blown it far off course. Walter was
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: so intrigued she called her job to ask if she
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: could come in late, they said yes, and she got
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: to witness the retrieval of the high tech gear firsthand.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: She later shared her experience on social media, calling it
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: a once in a lifetime moment. Good stuff, And we
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: dig a little deeper into some of that, and even
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: we talk about Breaking Bad because there's a West Texas
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: connection to Breaking Bed, specifically Marty Robbins connection to the
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: show Breaking Bad.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: We talk about that.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: So check out Mata Stars wherever you listen to this podcast.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: A former strip club employee in Tampa was arrested last
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: week for a drive by attack. Not with a gun,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: but with a cheeseburger.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Makes it a little easier, you know it was a cheeseburger.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Police say twenty six year old Jordan Cotto pulled up
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: outside the Atlantis Gentleman's Club hoping to speak with management.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Things quickly escalated into a heated argument. That's when investigators
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: say he reached down, grabbed a cheeseburger, and hurled it
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: at the man, hitting him on the shoulder. The victim
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: wasn't seriously hurt, but the burger did cause police what
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: police called bodily.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Harm to the man.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: So not seriously hurt, but there was some bodily harm.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I think it might have just been shame he got
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: hit with a cheeseburger for crying out loud. No, I
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: would imagine that could hurt. I know somebody who once
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: hit somebody in the face with a burrito. So and
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know the outcome of that, but I would
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: imagine it didn't feel great. And I also know there
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: was probably some shame at getting hit with a burrito.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: But I don't know the person who got hit. I
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: know the person who did the hitting. When questioned, Cotto
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: reportedly admitted to the burger toss showed zero remorse. In fact,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: he told officers he would do it again. Kotto was
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: arrested and charged with mist meter battery and released on
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: his own recognizance. So he's not sorry. I mean, you
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: hit somebody with a burger, probably not gonna be sorry
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: about it, probably not going to show too much for
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: more so, I would think you did it, you commit.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: To it, you own it.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Giant Food stores is issued to recall on their hard
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: taco dinner kits. After discovering something unexpected inside. You might think, oh,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: it's a wood glass or metal. Oh no, the kits
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: were taking off the shelves because some of them contained
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: hot chocolate packets. For some reason, the packets of cocoa
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: found their way into the kits, which you know, could
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: be a problem if you got a milk allergy. They
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: could also be a problem if you were, you know,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: hoping for tacos. The packages don't typically list any milk
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: allergions in the ingredients. The Giant company says, anyone with
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: one of these kits who would like to return it
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: can do so.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: At the store where they purchased it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not making light of the milk allergy because obviously
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: that could be a big problem, but again, it's hot chocolate.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: That's not going to do much to satisfy your craving
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: for tacos either. A restaurant in Everglade City, Florida, is
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: offering customers free pizza and all they have to do
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: is bring in a dead Burmese python. The restaurant, Wildman's Pizza,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Pasta and Pythons, is owned by Dusty Wildman Crumb. Of course,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: it is well known local python hunter who has devoted
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: much of his life to saving the Everglades ecosystem. Burmese
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: pythons are an invasive species causing major ecological damage to
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the region. We have talked about some of these python
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: hunters and things already, but this is a different version
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: of it. They've drastically reduced populations of native animals like bobcats, raccoons,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: and possums. So in order to combat the problem and
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: encourage community involvement, Crumb is rewarding python hunters with a
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: large specialty pizza if they do, in fact bring in
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: a dead python. So good luck, good luck on The
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: python hunting and armed standoff in Washington State finally came
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: to an end, not by violence, but by use of
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: a dairy queen. Police and pullman Washington were locked in
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: a tense standoff with a man suspected of setting his
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: own apartment on fire. Forty year old Elijah Reagan launched
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: a mortar style firework into his ceiling, sparking a blaze
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: that damaged eight apartments and forced dozens of residents to evacuate.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: After the fire, Reagan reportedly called as a strange wife
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: and said, I bombed my apartment. He then led police
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: on a high speed chase while smoking meth. I assume
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: he was smoking meth, not the police. It's a strangely
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: worded story, he led police on a high speed chase
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: while smoking myth anyway, it was him, not police. According
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: to the story, His car was eventually stopped with a
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: spike strip. Police surrounded the vehicle and he refused to
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: get out. Cops negotiated with him and ultimately agreed to
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: surrender in exchange for a dairy queen blizzard. They're good,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean that could get me out of
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: a car. Officers picked one up for him, along with
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: a hamburger, and used not to be thrown at anybody,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: used a tactical robot to hand it to him. When
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: he was done, he gave himself up and he faces
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: charges of arson and eluding police. The blizzards are good, man,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: They're good. I don't know that they make one that
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: has meth in it though. And things got a little
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: bananas at a recent festival in South Carolina when a
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: spider monkey got loose them spider monkey stories. Police in
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: the festival were stunned to see the little primate running
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: around the town. Clerk got together with the mayor and
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: his wife to pursue the monkey, and they eventually found
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: her sitting on the back of a parked car outside
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: of barber shop. She had a lease attached to a collar.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: The They say that the monkey was screaming and clearly frightened. Yeah,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: it's probably true. So the mayor's wife got the idea
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: to see if maybe spider monkey's like coffee. She placed
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: her hot cup of coffee on the ground and backed away.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: It turns out the monkey does like coffee, walked right
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: over to take a sip when the mayor's wife stepped
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: on the leash, scooped her up. A short while later,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: a woman came by to identify the monkey as her pet,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: named Ava. Glad they included the pet's name in the
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: story because that was important to the story, not the
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: fact that a spider monkey was running around and drinking coffee.
• 16:41

  Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise

  Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they I do after
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: won't open and you need somebody to come help. And
• 20:09

• 20:30
  Speaker 2: people who likes the idea of having an aquarium but
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: doesn't like all of the upkeep. There are a lot
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: of upkeep. They really are. I had an aquarium in
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: my office once and then someone just threw it in
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: the trash.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know why.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: It wasn't at home, it was in an office where
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I was working at the time, and for some reason
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: it was thrown in the trash. I still don't understand that.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I would love to have my aquarium again. However, they
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: are a lot of work to keep them up.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: They just are.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Well how about if that's you and you don't like
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: the upkeep and you really like Lego, Well, boy, if
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: we got the story for you. Lego has introduced their
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Lego Icon's Tropical Aquarium. It's a massive, forty one hundred
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: plus piece set designed for adults. It features levers and
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: cranks that make the brick built fish and coral move
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: in a black frame that mimics an actual aquarium. It's
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: not available till mid November on the sixteenth. The price
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: four hundred and eighty dollars. Look it looks like a
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: neat Lego set, That's all I'll say. I mean, I'm
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: not against it.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: I would just.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Rather have like the real fish. It's just I love
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Lego I do. I just think it's you know, it's
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: not a real aquarium, but if that's your thing, and
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: maybe your kids would love it as well. Just in
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: time for Christmas, a new study has to determined that
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: boys and young men aged fifteen to twenty four have
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: become even more glued to their screens. The American Time
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: You Survey tracked that in twenty ten, guys of that
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: age range spend an average of just under five hours
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: a week playing video games. Last year, twenty twenty four,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: they've doubled that to over ten hours a week, and
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: it's mostly against other people using the internet. Ninety seven
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: percent of teenage boys say they play games online. I mean,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: first of all, the fact that they're playing against each
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: other is gonna have an effect on how much they're playing,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: because you know, yeah, one person playing against another person.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Then they're however long they play, you know, both of
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: them are contributing to this time, the two to tango scenario.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: It's a little scary. It doesn't surprise me though, In fact,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: I would have maybe thought that ten hours.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: A week seems low. That's just me.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: That's almost low, but it's still a lot. Almost everyone
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: you know complains about getting sleep Researchers have found that
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: young adults are turning to either alcohol or cannabis to
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: help make sure that they can tune out the world
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: as they shut their eyes. University of Michigan's Institute for
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Social Research says twenty two percent of young adults in
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: the US are now using alcohol or cannabis to help
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: them fall asleep, and among those saying that they have
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: used cannabis in the past year, over forty one percent
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: say that they have used it exclusively.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: To help them fall asleep. Interesting.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I know a few people who do this. This is
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: how they shut out the world and slow their brain
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: down and allow them.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: To actually go to sleep. So interesting.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Hollywood's desire to mine other intellectual properties for content may
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: have hit. I don't know if they're calling this a
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: new low, but I mean it kind of is. It's interesting.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, I can think of some scenarios where this
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: could be interesting in the right hands, and I think
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: it may be in the right hands. But anyway, you've
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: seen Battleship, You've seen you know, Pirates of the Caribbean
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: was one of those things. They went this is a
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Disney ride, and they're gonna make a movie about it
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: and then it ended up being like an amazing with
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: four movies that.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: They got out of that Battleship.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: I know, it's kind of you know, some people loved
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Battleship for it kind of being so bad it's good,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know. But they've done this with a few.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Games and here we go. Here's something a toy that
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: they have decided to turn into a live action series,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: and it's the Magic eight Ball, and it's in the
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: hands of m Night Shymalong and the old matel magic
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: eight ball. You know, you pick it up, you shake it,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: you look at the bottom, and you get, you know whatever.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: The answer to your question is who you're going to
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: take the prom? Should I take this person? Should I
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: ask that person? I don't get. It doesn't give you
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: like you're not going to say who do I take
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: to prom? And it's not going to tell you like
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Sally if so, that is one magic eight ball. But no,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: primarily you get try again. I mean, that's what you
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: get over and over.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: And over again, you know.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: So basically, Shaymalan, I never know if I'm saying his
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: name right. It says that the plan is to reimagine
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: the Classic Magic eight Ball is the centerpiece of a
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: high concept, character driven supernatural drama that blends psychology, intensity,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: and cultural intrigue. You know, I mean, if there's somebody
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: to do this in a psychological drama series, I mean,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: that's the guy. People are just going to be waiting
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: for the twist ending at all times. I guess that's
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: the way it usually works.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: With his stuff.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Friday edition of the show.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thanks for listening. I'll
• 26:05
