  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the Wes
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carroll Morning Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, ninth day of October. I'm Wes. Thanks for
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: joining me. A couple things that are going on. First
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: of all, this is a holiday weekend, so I'll be
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: taking Monday off. And I hope maybe you get, I
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: don't know, not everybody gets Columbus Day off or Columbus
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Day observed or whatever it's called. Some people don't want
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: it off, and you don't have to. You stay home
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: and not go to work. It's the holiday. You're allowed.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: For some people, for other people, it's not a holiday
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: at all, and you've got to go to work anyway,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: even if you want to celebrate it. So you just
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: figure you be you. If you want to celebrate it
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: and you don't get it off from work, you know,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: take a sick day. Whatever you got to do. Just
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: celebrate Columbus. Our city here where we do the show
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: from is named Columbus. So I would think that everybody
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: would have the day off in Columbus. But I know
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: this is a sensitive thing for some. And I'm not
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: here to get into the sensitive thing today. Not at all.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Because it's Friday. And Friday we do other things. Before
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: we roll on into our... We've got two really... Nice
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: positive news stories before we get to strange and bizarre
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: news from around the world. Before we do that, the
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: other thing I want to mention is, you know, we
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: got this hurricane. We finally got a hurricane for this season.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: And ECS, at the time we're recording at least, is,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: you know, it's going to have an impact on many
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: in the southeast, even if it's just rain and wind.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Okay. Okay.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: So be careful, especially if you are in some of
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the more dangerous parts of it. And depending on where
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: you're listening, you may be just that. If you're listening
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: in the Chattahoochee Valley, where I am, expect some rain
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and some wind. And, you know, secure the things you
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: need to secure around the house. Everybody needs to do
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: that if you're in the area for this storm. It's
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the first hurricane of this season. It's very late for that.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: And this is one of those things. It doesn't matter what.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: If it's crazy hot outside for long periods of time,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: we hear it's because of global warming and climate change.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: If the temperatures drop significantly, we hear it's because of
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: global warming and climate change. If we have lots of hurricanes,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: it's because of climate change. If we have the record
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: latest weather, hurricane forming or one of the latest hurricanes
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: forming on record, uh, then it's because of climate change.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: So it's one of those, like, if you just, you
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: can't lose, you can't lose. If that's going to be
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: your argument, it's always, you know, if we had an
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: ice storm and everything, the whole planet turned to ice,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: it would be, there was a time when it would
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: have been blamed on global warming. They did that with
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: a movie. Um, And then Al Gore made a documentary,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and he used CGI clips from that movie to show
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: exactly what was going on on the planet when it
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: came to climate change, or then global warming is what
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: they called it. But he used CGI for it, and
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: he won an Oscar. They never took it away from him,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: so go figure. Just be careful is what I'm saying.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: We've got some pretty serious weather going on, and just
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: be careful. All right, let's get to some positive news.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: First and foremost, there was a woman in Rhode Island.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: She gave her husband the ultimate 20th wedding anniversary gift,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: one of her kidneys. Saved his life just before their
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: big milestone anniversary. When Giovanni Ricci, any relation to Christina,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease a year ago, his
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: search for an organ donor led right back into his
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: own home. His wife Lisa turned out to be a
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: perfect match. Following a successful transplant surgery, the couple celebrated
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: two major milestones from their hospital beds. They renewed their
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: wedding vows surrounded by their daughters. Hospital staff made the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: day even more special by delivering an anniversary meal and cake.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: While the experience was, you know, certainly scary at times,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I would think so, Lisa said it was all about
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the family from the very beginning. Everything we do, we
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: do for our kids, she said. We wanted to make
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: sure he was around for our kids to have their
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: dad around and just be a family and be back
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the way things were. Love this story, and what a
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: cool anniversary experience to have with all of that. I
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: know it's tough, and they've got recovery and all of
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: those things, but what an opportunity to be able to
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: do that. I would think. I don't know, and I'm certainly...
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Not a doctor, and I'm not a transplantologist or whatever,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: but I would think it would be rare that your
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: spouse would be a perfect match. I just think that
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: that would not be a common occurrence, but I don't know,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: and I haven't done the research. Maybe that's what I
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: can do with my long weekend, do the research on that.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: 19-year-old Samantha and 17-year-old Kyan knew that they had been
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: adopted by different families. and enjoyed happy childhoods. And they
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: never met until recently. The two long-lost biological sisters were
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: reunited after facing off against each other in a high
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: school softball tournament. They were playing in a tournament in Montana.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: One of Samantha's teammates pointed out that an opposing player
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: looked a lot like Samantha. And they looked over the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: team roster, and Samantha's mom spotted the girl's name, Kyan.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: and recognized that it was the baby name given by
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: their birth mother. The two mothers met in the stands,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: compared hospital records, and confirmed the match. Beyond looking alike,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: the sisters discovered they both wore jersey number six, played
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the same positions in volleyball and softball, and shared the
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: exact same laugh. What a great story. I mean, what
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: a way to find your long-lost sibling you know, from
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: adoption and all that, and good spotting by their teammate.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: So whichever one it was, I guess it was Samantha's teammate,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: wasn't it? All right, let's get to some strange and
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: bizarre news from around the world. We start in Florida,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: as tends to be the case. I try. Where a
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: man had to go to Wyoming to get tackled by
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: cops for drunkenly trespassing on strangers' properties. while looking for
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen, who he hoped to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: lure to the Dallas Cowboys. Not a Dak Prescott fan,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I guess. The 43-year-old, who has not been publicly identified,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: was cuffed and collared after a homeowner called 911 to
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: report him for creeping around his house. Once in custody...
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: The suspect says he was looking for Josh Allen, who
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: had gone to the University of Wyoming before turning pro,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: in order to convince him to change teams. The Florida
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: man reportedly hit all the indicators for impairment on the
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: horizontal gauge and then allegedly blew a 0.238% blood alcohol concentration.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I think that's high. He said he would hire his
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: own lawyer and was given a $ 1, 000 cash only bond.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: No word whether or not Josh Allen is aware of
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: this diehard fan's admiration. But, I mean, if he wanted
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: to get Josh Allen, there's other ways to do it.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: And he left, I guess, it says he's from Florida somewhere. Um,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: did he go from Florida to Wyoming? That's a long
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: way to go, uh, while being impaired the whole time,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: you know, you would think he'd stop somewhere along the way.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Sober up a little, I would hope he's not doing
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: that whole trip completely blasted, but, uh, let's go to
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Indiana now where a woman was glazed by cops who
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: collared her for drunkenly doing donuts on the lawn of
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the county courthouse. The 68-year-old, whose name was not released,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: this is a pattern today, at least for these two stories,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: was caught in the act of tearing up the grass,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: probably tearing up too once she was arrested, in her
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: silver sedan and was described as visibly intoxicated at the scene.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Surveillance video captured the incident, which kicked up a cloud
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: of dust visible from well outside the courthouse gates. The
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: suspect's blood alcohol level measured 0.08. Now, see, that seems
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: more I mean, that's still too high, right? That's barely
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: above the legal limit. The other guy was.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: 238.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. Maybe he was blasted all the
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: way from Florida. I don't know. Jennings County Sheriff's Department
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: posted a Facebook message reading, If you've had too many
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: margaritas with dinner, please don't get behind the wheel and
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: definitely don't do donuts on the courthouse lawn. The sheriff's
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: office said she was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: And what it described as numerous other charges, which the
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: reports did not particularly itemize. But I think we get
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: the idea of roughly what was going on here. I mean,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: a number of other things. I like stories with animals.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I hope they're not sad stories. with animals, but this
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: one's not. I mean, it's a little sad, but it's,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I think, a happy ending. A kangaroo was returned to
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: a Missouri petting zoo after spending a day walkabout. Police
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: say the animal escaped from a petting zoo at the
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Saline County Fairgrounds after a child accidentally left a gate open. See,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: it's positive. I mean, it's sad to think that poor
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: little fella, or doesn't say which, or gal, was out
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: on the loose and probably scared, and that part's sad.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: But the positive news is return back to the petting zoo.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: And I feel bad for the kid. You know, a
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: kid leaves the gate open. I mean, unless this was
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: some kind of a plot to get the kangaroo to
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: come home with it. Let's go back to Florida, where
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: a man faces DUI charges after deputies found him passed
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: out behind the wheel at an intersection. Authorities say the
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: vehicle was still in drive, the driver's foot on the brake,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: and deputies broke a window when he wouldn't respond immediately.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: because they feared he was having a medical emergency. Deputies
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: found open and empty beer cans inside the vehicle and
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: identified the driver as Fernando Guillen Delgado. After he was
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: taken to the hospital, tests showed a blood alcohol level of... Okay,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: here we go.. 238, is that what the other one was?
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: And then we had the. 8.. 8 is the legal
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: limit in Florida, by the way. This guy, Delgado... 0.377. Again,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: are we not getting into dangerous territory with these numbers?
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Because they seem high to me. He was arrested on
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: a DUI charge, cited for driving without a valid license.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: That seems like crazy high. I'm not an expert. This
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: is not something that's ever... I've never had alcohol and
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: gotten behind the wheel of a car, so I don't
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: know anything about this. But I know... You start talking about. 8,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: you know, and you go, yeah, that's in the area.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: You'll get in some serious trouble. When you start getting
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: a point, and then it's like a two or a
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: three after that, that just seems highly dangerous. Let's now
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: go to Virginia, where a motorcyclist was apparently on a
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: very important mission, getting to McDonald's before it stopped serving breakfast.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: This was a plot in the movie Big Daddy, wasn't it?
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: They weren't on a motorcycle, though. Police say the rider
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: was clocked doing 72 in a 25 in Manassas. When
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: asked why he was speeding, the biker reportedly told the
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: officer he'd overslept and was racing to catch breakfast. So
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: instead of a McMuffin, he got a reckless driving ticket.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: The officer reminded him that at 72 miles per hour,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: if something goes wrong, he's not just missing breakfast, but
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: other meals as well. Police say it's a good reminder
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: that no hash brown is worth becoming a traffic statistic.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: It's not. Hash browns are good. McDonald's hash browns, very good.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Maybe the best part of their breakfast. Maybe that's controversial.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know. To me, the best part of the
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: McDonald's breakfast is the hash browns. I'll stand by that, okay?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Go to Hardee's for a biscuit. Nothing wrong with that, right?
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Those chicken minis, Chick-fil-A. maybe the best thing out there,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: but I'm just telling you, and I don't even really
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: do fast food breakfast. Rarely do I do that.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Finally, this is, uh, this is an interesting one. And this, uh,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: we go back to, uh, to Montana for this. Um,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: it started as a treasure hunt through world war two memorabilia,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: and it turned into an emergency response when a Montana man, uh,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: bought a storage unit, and found something not intended for collection.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Authorities in Broadwater County say that a resident purchased contents
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: of a storage unit filled with World War II items
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: and discovered a live grenade hidden among the memorabilia. Rather
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: than call the police and let them come deal with it,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: he decided to bring it to the sheriff's office. The
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: grenade had a toothpick where the clip should have been.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Officials immediately shut down the area and called a bomb
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: squad to dispose of the grenade. The process took several
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: hours before a unit safely transported the grenade to a
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: transfer station where it was disposed. The sheriff's office urged
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: anyone who finds an explosive device, leave it alone right
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: where it is. And call the police. They do have
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: experts in the area of bomb squattage that can come
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: and take care of that. I think also it should
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: be pointed out, like, leave it where it is. Call
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: the police. And if there's a toothpick keeping it from detonating,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: get away as quick as you can. That's another really good,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: solid piece of advice. Well, if you're like me and
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: my family, you struggle probably to come up with something
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: different in the regular meal rotation every single day. We
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: plan out our week. We try to figure out what
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: we're going to have for our meals in the evening.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: And we just struggle to put that list together every week. Well,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: let me offer this for you, something to add into
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: the rotation list. People often say, I like to eat
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: food like Indian food, but I don't know how to
• 15:58

  Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: events also on their website. It's CCSSC.org. As Sean Cruzan says, CharlieCharlieSamSamCharlie.org.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I just remind you that it stands for Coca-Cola Space
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Science Center, CCSSC.org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial...
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: or residential, maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: away for you. And while they're there, you can always
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: they can do that for you as well. And again,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: come help. And they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.

  Speaker 2: More West Carroll Morning Show right after the break. One
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: of the big new trends in dating right now is
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: the breakfast date. A new survey found nearly two-thirds of
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: singles are open to meeting for breakfast on a first date.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Kind of makes some sense if you think about it.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Many say that dating has gotten harder with dating apps
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: making it tougher to form genuine connections. So instead of
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: awkward dinners and pricey cocktails, singles opting for coffee and
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: and eggs in the morning. The biggest perks, less pressure,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: lower cost, easy escape route if there's no spark. And
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: if things do click, you've got the whole day for
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: an impromptu adventure. Dating experts saying that breakfast dates feel
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: more authentic, more relaxed, give people a chance to actually talk.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: I like this idea of less pressure. I like this
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: idea of, you know, if it does go south and
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: then you say, all right, well, see you later. And
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: then you, uh, have the whole day ahead of you.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: And yes, if it goes well, then you have the
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: whole day ahead of you. You can extend it as
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: much as you want. So I do like it, and
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: it's a little bit less pressure for the people that
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: are feeling like, well, they're just wanting a free meal,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: an expensive free meal. So breakfast doesn't have to be
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: an expensive thing, although it certainly can be. So I
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: like it. I like this as an idea of a trend.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: From zombie shows and post-apocalyptic movies to doomsday podcasts and
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: endless doom scrolling, our fascination with catastrophe is stronger than ever.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Experts say it's not because we want the world to end. Instead,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: apocalypse stories make us sort of try to make some
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: sense out of uncertainty, anxiety, and the chaos that's happening
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: around us. In a strange way, imagining worst-case scenarios can
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: make us feel more prepared and even more in control.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: These stories also strip away everyday annoyances and force people
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: to focus on what matters, survival, relationships, and your purpose. So,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: may seem gloomy, but our obsession with the apocalypse might
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: actually be the brain's way of coping when the world
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: sort of feels unpredictable. Yes, I agree with that. And
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I also think that we do this in a number
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: of different ways. I mean, it's not just the apocalypse.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: We do it where we just say, hey, if we
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: were stranded in the woods, could we survive? What would
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: happen if all the electricity was turned off? How would
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: we function? What if the internet went down or, you know,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: whatever it is? And you think, well, if I had
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: to live without the internet for three months... And there
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: was no electricity. What would we do? And I think
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: some of that is kind of fun to imagine and
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: think through. So I think it's also a little bit
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: of those kinds of things. A new survey found that
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: one in five, brace yourself for this, young adults leave
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: home without knowing how to use a washing machine. Nearly
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: 70% admit they've avoided doing laundry after moving out. Some
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: wore every item in their wardrobe before they finally washed
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: their clothes. And while others tried creative shortcuts like spraying
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: outfits with deodorant or body spray to help them seem
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: like they're still fresh. The biggest laundry fear is choosing
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: the wrong settings, ruining their clothes, not understanding water temperatures,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: and using too much detergent. Mistakes are common. More than
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: 90% of young adults reported a laundry disaster from leaving
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: stuff in their pockets or to turning whites pink. Survey
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: also found many new adults regularly call home for help
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: with chores, cooking, and budgeting. I'm for that over ruining things. Yes,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: call and ask. There's no issues with that. I am, however,
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: realizing that neither of my children, one of them is
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: about to turn 18, has any idea how to wash clothes.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: So I think maybe this weekend should be one of those.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Let's have a Laundry session or two this weekend and
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: see how things go. I think that's probably a good idea.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: I think people need to make sure to do that.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: I'll do it if you do it. How about that?
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for the Bearista? Because Starbucks unveiled its
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: 2026 Holiday Cup collection. People freaking out already. The biggest
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: buzz around the return of the wildly popular Bearista Cup,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: which sold out pretty quickly last year. This year, the
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: teddy bear design is getting the full treatment, including tumblers, mugs,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: and even a keychain. There's also a festive Christmas tree-shaped
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: cold cup, a nostalgic holiday village collection inspired by Starbucks
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Seattle Roots, and a Winter Wonderland line featuring icy blue
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: drinkware and shimmering accessories. The holiday merch will arrive November
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: the 5th. At least some of it will. So remember
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: the 5th of November if you need one of those
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: bear cups, right? That'll do it for this Friday edition
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. We're
