Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:05
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:08
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, twenty ninth day of August. I'm Wes, thanks
0:12
Speaker 2: for joining me. It's almost the holiday weekend. It is
0:17
Speaker 2: a Labor Day weekend. It's about to start. It'll get
0:21
Speaker 2: started for most tomorrow. You'll injure day at work and
0:26
Speaker 2: then you know, maybe get on to some sort of
0:29
Speaker 2: family activity, some sort of vacation, some sort of just
0:33
Speaker 2: time off. Maybe you get a break. Some folks won't
0:35
Speaker 2: have that. Some are just gonna be working. And that's
0:37
Speaker 2: okay too. I hope you get paid extra for working,
0:41
Speaker 2: maybe on Labor Day on Monday. So for some it
0:45
Speaker 2: means hey, really, college football getting started. I know it
0:49
Speaker 2: already started. We had what they call week zero. Now
0:52
Speaker 2: I don't really understand that. That gets really confusing to me.
0:55
Speaker 2: I mean, I understand it on principle what they're talking about,
0:58
Speaker 2: because you know, this weekend, Labor Day weekend, is you know,
1:02
Speaker 2: week one of the college football season, and there were
1:05
Speaker 2: games last week. There was kind of a big one.
1:09
Speaker 2: I know, Florida State fans probably don't want to think
1:12
Speaker 2: about it at all. Georgia Tech fans are still happy
1:14
Speaker 2: about it, but you know they had to, you know,
1:18
Speaker 2: come back and play again this weekend, I guess. But
1:21
Speaker 2: this is now week one, and to me, if you're
1:24
Speaker 2: gonna have I don't know, they're just calling it unofficially.
1:27
Speaker 2: I guess week zero or whatever. But we'll get officially
1:31
Speaker 2: started now this weekend. So that's what this weekend means
1:34
Speaker 2: for some I know Georgia and Clemson will be in Atlanta,
1:38
Speaker 2: not far from Dragon Con. It's a lot of fun,
1:43
Speaker 2: by the way, when there's a big game like this
1:46
Speaker 2: that happens at the same time that Dragon CON's going on.
1:51
Speaker 2: And that's the other thing. This is this weekend, by
1:52
Speaker 2: the way, But I'll talk about that in a minute.
1:54
Speaker 2: But when you're there Dragon Con and there's teams, you know,
1:56
Speaker 2: people that come in and they're staying in hotels and
1:59
Speaker 2: they've got I've got in their room, and they didn't
2:02
Speaker 2: really realize that this event was going to be going on.
2:06
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago, last year, a couple of
2:11
Speaker 2: Februaries ago, Jill said, Hey, it's President's Day weekend, let's
2:16
Speaker 2: go to Let's go to New Orleans and visit our
2:19
Speaker 2: friend Dorothy. And I said that sounds fine, let's go.
2:22
Speaker 2: We had talked about maybe doing Disney or something that weekend,
2:27
Speaker 2: going to visit a friend down there and doing Disney
2:30
Speaker 2: in Universal. We ended up doing that over spring break,
2:34
Speaker 2: but she said, now let's go, you know, President's Day weekend,
2:37
Speaker 2: see Dorothy. And I thought that's fine. I've never been
2:38
Speaker 2: to New Orleans before. I wanted to go, and I
2:41
Speaker 2: thought that'll be great. And it was literally while we
2:44
Speaker 2: were driving. This shows you how much I'm involved in
2:47
Speaker 2: the planning process. As we're driving down and the whole family,
2:53
Speaker 2: and then it occurs to me, hang on, this is
2:57
Speaker 2: this is Marty girl weekend. We just had know, Fat
3:00
Speaker 2: Tuesday and all that, and she's like, yeah, so we're
3:03
Speaker 2: going to New Orleans during Marty gra And I was like,
3:05
Speaker 2: what are we doing? Like this was this wasn't part
3:08
Speaker 2: of our family trip, but for Jill it was. She said,
3:11
Speaker 2: We're gonna go check out a few of the daytime
3:13
Speaker 2: parades and those sorts of activities, and I just I
3:16
Speaker 2: wasn't fully clued in that that's exactly what we were doing,
3:21
Speaker 2: and and it was it was, you know, it was
3:23
Speaker 2: Marty Gras. It was wild. Some of what we saw
3:26
Speaker 2: was not Jill and I did venture into the madness.
3:32
Speaker 2: We did venture into all of the craziness very briefly
3:37
Speaker 2: for the evening because we just thought we're here. You know,
3:40
Speaker 2: you got to go to Bourbon Street at least for
3:43
Speaker 2: five minutes, don't you. And we did, and we're the
3:46
Speaker 2: two of the least Bourbon Street people that you'll ever meet. Well,
3:50
Speaker 2: I don't know about least. We're kind of somewhere in
3:51
Speaker 2: the middle. We're not too people you would have imagined
3:55
Speaker 2: being fully comfortable there. I'll just say that we're probably
3:59
Speaker 2: maybe not the middle, but we're you know, we're not
4:02
Speaker 2: you know, like a minister. You know, we're not because
4:05
Speaker 2: that's probably the people you'd least like to expect to
4:08
Speaker 2: see there, maybe so or like a granny, you know,
4:12
Speaker 2: the average granny. I mean, some grannies were there and
4:14
Speaker 2: they were having a good time. My point is we
4:17
Speaker 2: just sort of for me, I just sort of stumbled
4:19
Speaker 2: into it. I didn't know I was getting into. And
4:20
Speaker 2: that's what happens when these college football games are happening
4:24
Speaker 2: during Dragon Con kickoff games happened one year in particular,
4:28
Speaker 2: Georgia was playing Boise State several years ago, and these
4:32
Speaker 2: people that came in, you know that were Boise State
4:34
Speaker 2: fans and they didn't know. They were looking around like,
4:36
Speaker 2: what have we gotten into? What is this hotel? What
4:39
Speaker 2: is going on? I don't understand. And then you know,
4:42
Speaker 2: a couple of days later they're you know, still there
4:44
Speaker 2: and they're like, this is amazing. We're gonna come back.
4:46
Speaker 2: This is a lot of fun. So you have that
4:49
Speaker 2: experience now when you got two teams, they don't have
4:52
Speaker 2: a whole you know, this is you know, two schools
4:54
Speaker 2: that don't have a long way to go. I expect
4:56
Speaker 2: we'll see some Clemson people there, and we'll see some
4:58
Speaker 2: Georgia people there. But overall, this is not a you know,
5:02
Speaker 2: a big larger contingency of people coming from out of town.
5:06
Speaker 2: When they're coming in to see Boise State. They're making
5:08
Speaker 2: a big road trip. And this has been the case
5:11
Speaker 2: a number of times with a number of schools, and
5:14
Speaker 2: you know that's what. The other thing is going on
5:16
Speaker 2: this weekend is Dragon Con. It's a wild scene, man.
5:21
Speaker 2: It's just a great giant costume party that goes on
5:25
Speaker 2: and it starts today and it runs through Labor Day
5:29
Speaker 2: and it's just there's really no stopping it's this huge
5:33
Speaker 2: convention celebrating all things pop culture and you know, nerdy
5:37
Speaker 2: things as well as non nerdy things, and you know,
5:40
Speaker 2: maybe you consider everything about this it's just fandom. And
5:46
Speaker 2: that's why I think it goes well with the opening
5:49
Speaker 2: weekend of college football. It just it's fandom. It's it's
5:53
Speaker 2: fanaticism about things, and it's you know, all these different
5:57
Speaker 2: elements of pop culture. It's a lot of fun and
5:59
Speaker 2: it's just a giant costume party that goes on for
6:02
Speaker 2: you know, all these days with you know, all hours
6:05
Speaker 2: of the day and night. It's a lot of fun.
6:07
Speaker 2: We have a good time when we go. And I
6:08
Speaker 2: appreciate Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center for
6:12
Speaker 2: sponsoring our dragon Con coverage for many many years. Now.
6:15
Speaker 2: The dragon Con pregame show podcast is waiting for you.
6:19
Speaker 2: Kristin Kruk from Smallville and a new show on Fox
6:22
Speaker 2: called Murder in a Small Town coming now next month September.
6:28
Speaker 2: Also on the show, we talked with the Well. I
6:35
Speaker 2: wanted to mention Katie Coleman on Mate of Stars podcast,
6:38
Speaker 2: another of our guests that wasn't on the pregame show
6:42
Speaker 2: but is on the Mate of Stars podcast and you
6:47
Speaker 2: have the opportunity to check that show out. That one
6:49
Speaker 2: just dropped. And again that's a show that I do
6:51
Speaker 2: with doctor Sean Cruising from Columbus State University's Coca Cola
6:56
Speaker 2: Space cun Center. I feel like I have to say
6:57
Speaker 2: that every single time. But she talked with us about
7:03
Speaker 2: the fact that there's this science contingency of people that
7:07
Speaker 2: will be there, of course this year at dragon Con,
7:11
Speaker 2: a number of folks from NASA as well as you know,
7:18
Speaker 2: obviously an actual, honest to god retired astronaut. Okay, so
7:21
Speaker 2: back to the pregame show, Catherine Tate from the Office
7:24
Speaker 2: and doctor who Ross mar Kwan from The Walking Dead
7:27
Speaker 2: X Men ninety seven and I always like to interview
7:30
Speaker 2: a cosplayer because costume is such a big part of
7:32
Speaker 2: dragon Con. A mom that lifts and I appreciate all
7:35
Speaker 2: of them from being part of the show. So there
7:37
Speaker 2: you go. Those two podcasts are Made of Stars and
7:40
Speaker 2: dragon Con pregame show. And because I'm leaving for dragon
7:44
Speaker 2: Con in just really a matter of a couple of hours,
7:47
Speaker 2: I'll be headed up, so this will be my final
7:50
Speaker 2: show from the week. And that means that because it's
7:54
Speaker 2: a special Thursday edition of strange and Bizarre news from
8:00
Speaker 2: around the world. And we got a lot of animal
8:02
Speaker 2: stories this week, which is kind of fun. They're not
8:04
Speaker 2: necessarily you know, they're kind of a little scary animal stories,
8:08
Speaker 2: but their animal stories just the same. We'll start with
8:11
Speaker 2: kind of a milder one and here we go. So
8:15
Speaker 2: three bison escaped from a farm in Connecticut on Sunday,
8:19
Speaker 2: and then a couple of days later four returned. Sounds
8:24
Speaker 2: like it's the opening like for a riddle, like one
8:27
Speaker 2: of those riddles where it's like, you know, Friday is
8:29
Speaker 2: the name of the horse, you know, one of those riddles.
8:33
Speaker 2: But no. Amanda moresca owner of three b Ranch in
8:37
Speaker 2: North Branford, Connecticut, said three adult bison knocked over a
8:40
Speaker 2: section of fence, made run for it, remained on the
8:45
Speaker 2: lamb until Tuesday night, when they all returned to the
8:48
Speaker 2: farm on their own, and there was a newborn calf
8:51
Speaker 2: in tow. Amanda Maresca is saying what we've been kind
8:55
Speaker 2: of saying was that the bison went on maternity leave.
8:59
Speaker 2: The the police department rode on Facebook. These fluffernators had
9:06
Speaker 2: a few eventful nights away meeting and greeting the locals,
9:10
Speaker 2: learning about the rules of the road. Everyone knows that
9:12
Speaker 2: buffalo have the right of way at every intersection now,
9:16
Speaker 2: and finally decided it was time to take a nap
9:18
Speaker 2: in the comforts of their own pasture. So yeah, had
9:21
Speaker 2: a baby and then came back home. So that's the
9:24
Speaker 2: nice one, all right. That's warming you up with just
9:27
Speaker 2: kind of a nice one, Okay, all right. Police in Vallejo,
9:31
Speaker 2: California were involved in a high speed chase that ended
9:34
Speaker 2: with the arrest of four people and a ten foot python.
9:37
Speaker 2: See this is where it's taking that turn. We're getting
9:39
Speaker 2: into the big snakes. Police were called out to an
9:42
Speaker 2: intersection to break up an illegal side show where cars
9:45
Speaker 2: took over the road to perform stunts and tricks and
9:48
Speaker 2: were let on a high speed chase by one of
9:51
Speaker 2: the cars involved. Officers ultimately stopped the car, place the
9:54
Speaker 2: occupants under arrest four of them, and weren't expecting to
9:57
Speaker 2: find the enormous yet non venomous snake inside. But the pythons,
10:03
Speaker 2: you know, they choke it down. It ain't about the venom,
10:06
Speaker 2: It's about they choke it down. One of the brave
10:09
Speaker 2: officers took custody of snake and posed for a photo
10:13
Speaker 2: with it draped over his shoulders.
10:15
Speaker 1: Ah.
10:15
Speaker 2: They they're nice snakes, especially if they're you know, they're
10:18
Speaker 2: like pets. They're nice snakes. That's all. They're just nice.
10:25
Speaker 2: All right. One more crazy animal story. And you know
10:29
Speaker 2: we heard at the beginning of summer and spring that, oh,
10:32
Speaker 2: the sharks are in the water. You know, down in Florida,
10:37
Speaker 2: watch out. The sharks will get you some shark attacks.
10:41
Speaker 2: Everybody was on alert, and most people weren't. Some people
10:44
Speaker 2: were on alert. Some people just went and went to
10:46
Speaker 2: the beach. They didn't care. They're just were going at
10:48
Speaker 2: the beach. But how about this. Japanese officials sounding alarms
10:52
Speaker 2: about a sharp spike and the number of dolphin attacks
10:56
Speaker 2: in Japanese beaches. The normally tranquil marine animals that people
11:01
Speaker 2: of all ages love to pet and swim with on
11:03
Speaker 2: vacation and you know, watch episodes of Flipper. That kind
11:07
Speaker 2: of stuff, have been responsible for at least eighteen attacks
11:11
Speaker 2: this year. Swimmers have reported being bitten by bottle nosed dolphins,
11:16
Speaker 2: including one attack that left a child with a deep wound.
11:19
Speaker 2: I said, that's not funny. That required more than twenty stitches.
11:23
Speaker 2: Most of the injuries, however, have been minor. Beach goers
11:26
Speaker 2: have been warned not to approach or touch the dolphins
11:29
Speaker 2: if they seem to be swimming along them in the ocean.
11:32
Speaker 2: One expert saying it's possible there may be one rogue
11:35
Speaker 2: dolphin that's been behind the attacks, based on the description
11:38
Speaker 2: provided by multiple bite victims. So they need to give
11:42
Speaker 2: this dolphin a name, you know, he needs, you know,
11:46
Speaker 2: just something that really puts it in perspective. I think
11:49
Speaker 2: he needs some you know, piraty type name or something.
11:52
Speaker 2: I don't know. He can't be flipper, but he spike,
11:57
Speaker 2: you know something something. All right, This one's kind of gross,
12:02
Speaker 2: but here we go. Things got hairy for an American
12:06
Speaker 2: Airlines pasture in Miami when he's pulled off a flight
12:09
Speaker 2: and arrested because he refused to properly bandage his head,
12:12
Speaker 2: which was bleeding from a recent hair transplant surgery. Police say,
12:16
Speaker 2: twenty seven year old Eugene I'm sorry, Eugenio Hernandez Garnier.
12:22
Speaker 2: Gardnier boarded the Las Vegas bound flight with his wife
12:27
Speaker 2: and was bleeding from the scalp. He had a bloody
12:29
Speaker 2: bandage wrapped around his head, which concerned other passengers and
12:33
Speaker 2: the flight crew. He was kindly asked to leave the
12:36
Speaker 2: plane and receive proper medical attention, but he refused. Police
12:39
Speaker 2: came on board and arrested Hernandez Garnier That's how I'm
12:43
Speaker 2: gonna say it, along with his wife, who had also
12:46
Speaker 2: recently undergone cosmetic surgery in Miami. They were both charged
12:50
Speaker 2: with trespassing and resisting an officer without violence. Meanwhile, all
12:55
Speaker 2: of the other passengers were forced to deboard the plane
12:58
Speaker 2: and the flight was delayed until the following day. The
13:00
Speaker 2: couple arguing that American Airlines discriminated against them and they
13:04
Speaker 2: are planning to fight the charges. Uh. You know, bloody
13:09
Speaker 2: had on an airplane. That doesn't seem good. There's there's
13:12
Speaker 2: a handful of things you don't want. You don't want
13:13
Speaker 2: to see, like the crying baby come on the plane,
13:16
Speaker 2: especially if it's a late night you know it's a
13:18
Speaker 2: red eye or something. You don't want the crying baby
13:20
Speaker 2: on there. You you also don't want, you know, the coffer,
13:26
Speaker 2: like the hacker or the coffer, or the guy that's
13:29
Speaker 2: just a little too drunk. You know, it looks like
13:32
Speaker 2: he's going to be a problem. And then you know,
13:33
Speaker 2: anybody bleeding, bleeding of the head, anybody part, you don't
13:37
Speaker 2: want that. Nobody wants to see that. Get on the plane.
13:41
Speaker 2: We did a red eye flight once in Australia, I
13:45
Speaker 2: think it was. We went from maybe Perth up to Townsville,
13:52
Speaker 2: which is where my mother and father in law live,
13:57
Speaker 2: and we there was a crying baby the whole flight.
14:01
Speaker 2: And it's when Jake was a toddler. He was, you know,
14:04
Speaker 2: not quite too and you know, as we were getting
14:06
Speaker 2: off the plane, people were looking at us like it
14:08
Speaker 2: wasn't us, and there were people saying it wasn't them,
14:10
Speaker 2: it was another kid. This kid wasn't crying. He wasn't
14:13
Speaker 2: crying at all. He did great, he slept, not them
14:17
Speaker 2: all right. A nine year old boy thought that he
14:20
Speaker 2: got out of going to school last week and he
14:22
Speaker 2: was caught playing hooky by a TV news helicopter. WCBS
14:27
Speaker 2: TV helicopter spotted a boy playing on the roof of
14:29
Speaker 2: a building and learned that he had been reported missing
14:31
Speaker 2: earlier in the day when he didn't show up for school.
14:34
Speaker 2: The pilot alerted the TV station, who called police. The
14:37
Speaker 2: helicopter then continued to hover over the apartment building until
14:41
Speaker 2: police officers arrived and gave them the thumbs up. Boy
14:45
Speaker 2: was not hurt, but was pretty upset that he got caught.
14:48
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like a Ferris Bueller thing, you know,
14:50
Speaker 2: you catch the you can't or all these opportunities you
14:54
Speaker 2: catch the foul ball, all the chances to get caught,
14:57
Speaker 2: and this kid got caught, and we learned nothing from
15:01
Speaker 2: Seinfeld and Kramer anyway, all Right, getting caught switching bar
15:07
Speaker 2: codes to purchase items at a cheaper price will get
15:11
Speaker 2: you put in jail, but they probably won't necessarily put
15:15
Speaker 2: you in the news unless you're a guy named Mark
15:18
Speaker 2: Brince of Florida. The fifty seven year old was caught
15:20
Speaker 2: manipulating bar codes at a Loews around Clearwater, Florida, and
15:25
Speaker 2: was arrested. It's newsworthy because it marked the seventy fifth
15:29
Speaker 2: time that he had been arrested. Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office
15:33
Speaker 2: set in a statement, despite this individual's lengthy criminal history,
15:37
Speaker 2: he still has not learned his lesson. We will not
15:40
Speaker 2: tolerate habitual offenders who continue to prey on our community,
15:44
Speaker 2: According to the Sheriff's office, Brent's has been in and
15:47
Speaker 2: out of jail since nineteen eighty five, and it's served
15:49
Speaker 2: eleven separate prison sentences. This latest arrest, which occurred while
15:54
Speaker 2: he was on probation for a prior offense, has in
15:57
Speaker 2: facing charges of organizing a scheme to defraud less than
16:00
Speaker 2: twenty thousand dollars, retail theft of three thousand dollars or more,
16:04
Speaker 2: and felony theft. So petite theft, I guess yeah, that's
16:11
Speaker 2: you get arrested so many times when you start, you
16:13
Speaker 2: have a punch card and you're like your tenth defence,
16:17
Speaker 2: it's free or whatever. That's bad. Seventy five times. That's
16:21
Speaker 2: that's a lot. Today's show brought to you by Columbus
16:23
Speaker 2: State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring and educating
16:29

16:37
Speaker 2: for school age kids as school age kids visit the
16:40
Speaker 2: Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
16:43
Speaker 2: through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
16:48
Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
16:53
Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
16:56
Speaker 2: your degree on their website seesc dot org. While you're there,

Speaker 2: somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
17:54
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night
17:57
Speaker 2: events also on their website, it's see we see SSC
18:01
Speaker 2: dot org. As Sean Crusan says, Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie
18:05
Speaker 2: dot org. I just remind you that it stands for
18:08
Speaker 2: Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show
18:14
Speaker 2: brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For
18:17
Speaker 2: all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe
18:22
Speaker 2: you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always
18:26
Speaker 2: good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that
18:29
Speaker 2: move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company
18:33
Speaker 2: of Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you,
18:36
Speaker 2: and while they're there, you can always ask them questions
18:39
Speaker 2: about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to
18:41
Speaker 2: make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't
18:45
Speaker 2: quite what you want it to be and you need
18:47
Speaker 2: some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you
18:50
Speaker 2: need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making
18:54
Speaker 2: a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe
18:57
Speaker 2: it's some sort of installation issue that you've got with
19:00
Speaker 2: the colder, warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in and
19:03
Speaker 2: it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd
19:07
Speaker 2: like to add a screen door to your garage door
19:10
Speaker 2: system that you can put down and you can use
19:12
Speaker 2: your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor.
19:16
Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
19:18
Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
19:21
Speaker 2: man cavid, you'd like to be able to open the
19:22
Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
19:25
Speaker 2: can do that for you as well. And again they
19:27
Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
19:30
Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
19:33
Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help.
19:37
Speaker 2: And they do those as well. Seven oh six thorty

19:47
Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show right after the break. All right, I
19:58
Speaker 2: don't know how I miss this, but I guess earlier
20:01
Speaker 2: this month, back at the beginning of the month in Minnesota,
20:03
Speaker 2: a new law went into effect that sets the stage
20:07
Speaker 2: for flying cars. The law pretty much allows flying cars,
20:11
Speaker 2: regulates where they can land and take off. I guess
20:15
Speaker 2: now we've always heard these flying cars were coming. It
20:18
Speaker 2: seems like the next obvious thing would be, you know,
20:21
Speaker 2: for somebody to actually make one that works and then
20:24
Speaker 2: they can test test this. It'd be great. I'm ready
20:29
Speaker 2: I'm ready for the flying car. I mean I think
20:31
Speaker 2: I'm ready. I don't know. It does seem a little scary,
20:33
Speaker 2: but I just remember those episodes of the eighteen when
20:36
Speaker 2: Murdoch would get in his little helicopter and fly around,
20:39
Speaker 2: and I thought, man, when are we gonna flying cars?
20:42
Speaker 2: Let's make this happen.
20:44
Speaker 1: Hey.
20:44
Speaker 2: A scientist in Israel claimed he's figured out how to
20:46
Speaker 2: grow male genitals, and doctor Knitsen Gonen seems like the
20:51
Speaker 2: right name. An Israeli scientist has been experimenting with cells
20:55
Speaker 2: extracted from mice. He hopes to be able to produce
20:57
Speaker 2: human versions within five years, could produce actual working swimmers.
21:02
Speaker 2: Doctor Gonan claims she's not trying to make men obsolete.
21:07
Speaker 2: She's just trying to help with the global crisis in
21:10
Speaker 2: male fertility. So yeah, doctor Gonan, Gonan, Gonan got it.
21:21
Speaker 2: Not anything else but Gonan. Coffee price is putting a
21:26
Speaker 2: big dent on people's budgets, and they say prices continue
21:31
Speaker 2: to climb due to rising costs for coffee beans, transportation, labor,
21:35
Speaker 2: and it's expected to continue. Various different types of beans
21:42
Speaker 2: especially have gone up, and some of the fancier ones,
21:45
Speaker 2: I guess and the supply disruptions from large producers in
21:49
Speaker 2: Vietnam and Brazil, as well as droughts in some of
21:51
Speaker 2: those areas, so growing demand for coffee and China as
21:55
Speaker 2: well as cutting into global supply. So that's what we need.
22:01
Speaker 2: We need prices going up on more stuff, don't we?
22:05
Speaker 2: All right? Do you hide purchases from your partner? If
22:10
Speaker 2: you do, you're not alone. New survey found that nearly
22:12
Speaker 2: two thirds of couples are hiding purchases from one another,
22:15
Speaker 2: going as far as hiding new shoes and their kids
22:17
Speaker 2: toy boxes, hiding new clothes and gym bags, sneaking boxes
22:21
Speaker 2: in when your partner isn't around, or sending purchases to
22:24
Speaker 2: the office instead of the house, washing new clothes to
22:28
Speaker 2: make them seem older. That's some sneaky things, but yeah,
22:31
Speaker 2: apparently two thirds of people do that, all right. Seems
22:38
Speaker 2: Gen Z is the generation most likely to have a
22:42
Speaker 2: negative view of plastic surgeries. A survey found thirty eight
22:47
Speaker 2: percent of Gen Z feels that cosmetic surgery made people
22:50
Speaker 2: less attractive, not far behind thirty five percent of millennials agreed,
22:56
Speaker 2: and twenty six percent for Gen X, twenty three percent
22:59
Speaker 2: for Boomer I think we can see the pattern here.
23:01
Speaker 2: I mean, the closer you are to a point where
23:04
Speaker 2: someone might argue that you need plastic surgery makes you
23:10
Speaker 2: more likely to not think it's a bad thing. I'm
23:15
Speaker 2: a gen x or who thinks it's not. Most of
23:18
Speaker 2: the time, it's not necessarily a good thing. So are
23:23
Speaker 2: you suffering from Rebecca syndrome? Rebecca syndrome is a new
23:26
Speaker 2: dating term for an emotion as old as time jealousy. Specifically,
23:30
Speaker 2: it's when someone in a relationship is consumed with jealousy
23:33
Speaker 2: over their partners x. It gets the name from the
23:36
Speaker 2: nineteen thirty eight novel Rebecca. The book tells the story
23:40
Speaker 2: of a new wife of a widower who is tormented
23:43
Speaker 2: over not being able to compete with the memory of
23:46
Speaker 2: her husband's deceased first wife, Rebecca. So that's where the
23:50
Speaker 2: name comes from. All Right, we're in that phase where
23:56
Speaker 2: it's August, and I know we've had the sort of
23:59
Speaker 2: false a fall thing going on, but we still have
24:02
Speaker 2: some hot days, and you know, you got to be
24:03
Speaker 2: careful about kids and pets in hot cars. But they
24:07
Speaker 2: say that there are some lesser known things that people
24:10
Speaker 2: leave in hot cars, and they should not be doing it.
24:13
Speaker 2: Things that could be potentially dangerous in hot summer days.
24:18
Speaker 2: Clear plastic water bottles that get left sometimes in the
24:21
Speaker 2: cup holder or on the floor where they're exposed to
24:24
Speaker 2: sun apparently could be a serious risk. Experts warn it
24:29
Speaker 2: could actually start a fire. The sunlight beams into the
24:32
Speaker 2: car gets reflected by the water in the bottle. Think
24:36
Speaker 2: about the old days with the magnifying glass and the ants, right,
24:39
Speaker 2: and it could actually ignite a fire inside the car
24:42
Speaker 2: based on that same principle, if it's hot enough and
24:44
Speaker 2: there's enough direct sunlight to it. Water that's been in
24:48
Speaker 2: extremely hot plastic bottles also could be contaminated with toxins,
24:52
Speaker 2: so you probably don't want to drink it anyway. Electronics
24:56
Speaker 2: with lithium batteries, vape, electric scooters, they could explode. Other
25:02
Speaker 2: everyday items that shouldn't be left in a hot car,
25:04
Speaker 2: things like aerosol, cans, cannon, bottled soft drinks, cigarette lighters, medicine, alcohol.
25:12
Speaker 2: It all makes sense. A lot of that's common sense.
25:14
Speaker 2: With the water bottle thing. I've heard that before, but
25:18
Speaker 2: I don't know that. I don't know that I've really thought.
25:21
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I've got a bottle of water in
25:23
Speaker 2: my car. Another think about it right now, I've done
25:26
Speaker 2: the kidney stone thing, so I may have left a
25:27
Speaker 2: bottle of water in there. All right. That'll do it
25:30
Speaker 2: for this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks to our
25:33
Speaker 2: sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I hope to
25:37
Speaker 2: see you with dragon Con this weekend, or maybe you're
25:39
Speaker 2: up for the Georgia game and I'll see you around
25:42
Speaker 2: one of the hotels nearby this weekend. Thanks again to
25:46
Speaker 2: Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center for sponsoring
25:49
Speaker 2: our dragon Con coverage. Remember Made of Stars podcast here
25:52
Speaker 2: has talked to a couple of astronauts over the last
25:54
Speaker 2: like five shows maybe and then retired astronauts. I guess
26:00
Speaker 2: tired NASA astronauts. It's probably the right way to word it.
26:03
Speaker 2: And then also the uh dragon Con pregame show is
26:06
Speaker 2: also waiting for you. You can hear my interviews with
26:08
Speaker 2: some of the guests will be there this year and
26:10
Speaker 2: get you ready for dragon Con. Thanks for listening. I'll
26:13
Speaker 2: catch you back here Tuesday morning.
