- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Friday morning, seventeenth day of April.
- 0:11Speaker 3: I'm West thanks for joining me.
- 0:14Speaker 2: It is Friday and it is time to dive into
- 0:19Speaker 2: some positive stories to kick off our weekend. Something a
- 0:24Speaker 2: little lighter, a little more positive. We'll get to our
- 0:26Speaker 2: strange and bizarre news from around the world and a
- 0:29Speaker 2: few but first I want to start with this really
- 0:32Speaker 2: cool story out of Melbourne, Australia, my second home, not
- 0:35Speaker 2: Melbourne specifically, but you know, Australia is my home away
- 0:40Speaker 2: from home, the country I've lived in the most outside
- 0:46Speaker 2: of this one, how about that.
- 0:49Speaker 3: And it's been a lot.
- 0:50Speaker 2: It's been a lot, like almost a whole year in
- 0:52Speaker 2: my life, pretty close to a year of my life.
- 0:55Speaker 2: I haven't done the math lately, but I think last
- 0:57Speaker 2: year's trip may have actually pushed me up to a year. Anyway,
- 1:02Speaker 2: my home away from home and I've spent some great
- 1:05Speaker 2: time in Melbourne, got family in the Melbourne area. So
- 1:10Speaker 2: let's get into this story. A community in Melbourne. Really
- 1:17Speaker 2: cool story in spite of the fact it's going to
- 1:20Speaker 2: be in with someone's death. That's the downside of it.
- 1:22Speaker 2: But it gets better, I promise. An eighty eight year
- 1:25Speaker 2: old who was a resident there in Melbourne, Michael Purcell,
- 1:29Speaker 2: passed away and his family, who was in his native
- 1:35Speaker 2: home of Ireland, were able to make long distance funeral arrangements,
- 1:42Speaker 2: but because of things going on in the Middle East,
- 1:45Speaker 2: they weren't able to make the trip to Australia because
- 1:48Speaker 2: of flight disruptions. So Purcell was going to have to
- 1:53Speaker 2: have basically a funeral with no one there to pay respects.
- 1:56Speaker 3: At his memorial.
- 1:57Speaker 2: The funeral directors reached out to the community, inviting anyone
- 2:00Speaker 2: to come and simply be there, and people answered. On
- 2:06Speaker 2: the day of the funeral, the chapel filled a capacity.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Dozens more stood outside. Mourners formed a quiet guard of
- 2:14Speaker 2: honor as the hearse passed For strangers who attended. It
- 2:18Speaker 2: was simply about compassion, making sure no one faced a
- 2:21Speaker 2: final goodbye alone in Michael's family watch from Ireland via
- 2:24Speaker 2: live stream, witnessing and outpouring of humanity from people they
- 2:28Speaker 2: had never met. In many of them, most of them
- 2:30Speaker 2: I guess they'll never meet. What a great story, What
- 2:35Speaker 2: a great story. I mean, this is just to say,
- 2:40Speaker 2: standing room only and spilling outside just a fantastic story.
- 2:46Speaker 2: We often hear stories about the world's oldest person. You
- 2:50Speaker 2: know what I mean, This is the world's oldest person,
- 2:53Speaker 2: and this is how old they are, and all of
- 2:56Speaker 2: these sorts of stories, and then we don't really get
- 3:01Speaker 2: many stories about the world's oldest of a certain animal.
- 3:09Speaker 2: This is one of those stories. The Berlin Zoo just
- 3:12Speaker 2: threw a birthday bash for its longest residing tenant, Lady Fittwu,
- 3:18Speaker 2: the world's oldest living gorilla. Lady Fittwou turned sixty nine,
- 3:22Speaker 2: which is really old for a gorilla. They rarely make
- 3:27Speaker 2: it past their forties, and sixty nine is up there now.
- 3:31Speaker 2: I don't know about how Lady Lady Fitwu probably isn't
- 3:35Speaker 2: happy about having her age revealed. I would think, because
- 3:40Speaker 2: she's a lady. She celebrated the big day snacking on
- 3:43Speaker 2: a feast of soft vegetables, also enjoying a special visit
- 3:46Speaker 2: from her granddaughter Mapenzi. With a family tree that now
- 3:51Speaker 2: stretches at least three great great great grandchildren, Lady Fotwu
- 3:56Speaker 2: seems to enjoy sitting back, relaxing and being a world
- 4:00Speaker 2: famous star at the Berlin Zoo.
- 4:05Speaker 3: We don't often hear.
- 4:08Speaker 2: About animals getting up to these ages. So I think
- 4:11Speaker 2: that's a great story. Florida's new super speeder law. Oh
- 4:15Speaker 2: this is strange and Bazar. I just went right into it.
- 4:18Speaker 2: I forgot to tell you we were jumping over to
- 4:20Speaker 2: strange and bizarre newsm around the world. I was so
- 4:22Speaker 2: excited because we're starting in Florida this week. We often
- 4:25Speaker 2: don't start in Florida, but seemed appropriate because they got
- 4:29Speaker 2: this new super speeder law and it makes it a
- 4:32Speaker 2: crime for drivers who exceed fifty miles per hour or
- 4:34Speaker 2: more over the posted speed limit to drive one hundred
- 4:37Speaker 2: miles an hour or more. Right, so they or drive
- 4:44Speaker 2: one hundred miles an hour or more. Make sure I
- 4:47Speaker 2: got this right, a crime to drive fifty miles an
- 4:50Speaker 2: hour over the posted speed limit or to drive one
- 4:53Speaker 2: hundred miles an hour or more. I think that's what
- 4:56Speaker 2: I said the first time. I want to make sure
- 4:57Speaker 2: I get it right, because that's important. So while the
- 5:01Speaker 2: law has gotten into effect and we hear about it,
- 5:04Speaker 2: people have talked about it. It's been some news because
- 5:08Speaker 2: obviously you got other states looking at it, going how's
- 5:11Speaker 2: this going to work? But there's still people that are
- 5:14Speaker 2: breaking the law and going to jail for it, even
- 5:17Speaker 2: though the law is now in effect. So basically, there's
- 5:21Speaker 2: a case a twenty five year old name Soriah Lopez
- 5:27Speaker 2: who was clocked doing one hundred and twenty three miles
- 5:29Speaker 2: per hour and a fifty mile per hours on it.
- 5:31Speaker 2: So she broke both of these things right. She exceeded
- 5:34Speaker 2: the fifty and she was going over one hundred. She
- 5:38Speaker 2: told deputies that she thought she was allowed to speed
- 5:40Speaker 2: because she wasn't driving a Toyota Supra. Not only was
- 5:46Speaker 2: twice the legal limit, her blood alcohol level was also
- 5:50Speaker 2: twice the legal limit. She was arrested in charge of
- 5:53Speaker 2: violating the super Speeder Law DUI reckless driving faces up
- 5:57Speaker 2: to thirty days in jail on a five hundred dollars fine.
- 6:00Speaker 2: I think that the charges would give you a more
- 6:04Speaker 2: strict sentence, facing up to thirty days in jail for
- 6:06Speaker 2: that one hundred and twenty three miles an hour while intoxicated.
- 6:12Speaker 2: It might warrant it, you know, three months.
- 6:15Speaker 3: Maybe.
- 6:15Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not a judge, I'm not somebody
- 6:18Speaker 2: handing down sentences. I'm just saying it seems like it's
- 6:20Speaker 2: kind of a weak sentence. Give a little more time
- 6:24Speaker 2: to dry out. That's all I'm saying. The owner of
- 6:27Speaker 2: a mustard company in New Hampshire had spent years pumping
- 6:32Speaker 2: pollutants and dirty mustard water into a nearby river, but
- 6:38Speaker 2: probably should have known that eventually authorities would catch up
- 6:46Speaker 2: to him. It's the way the story's written. I was
- 6:49Speaker 2: you know, I knew it was coming. Mustard ketchup, do
- 6:55Speaker 2: go read together.
- 6:56Speaker 3: Sixty year old.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Charles Santitch was the owner of the Old Dutch Mustard
- 7:01Speaker 2: Company in Greenville and is headed to prison for eighteen
- 7:05Speaker 2: months for violating the Clean Water Act. According to prosecutor,
- 7:09Speaker 2: Santich directed employees to dump polluted water through an underground
- 7:13Speaker 2: pipe leading into the sohegan probably has a regional pronunciation,
- 7:20Speaker 2: but that's how I would say it river to avoid
- 7:22Speaker 2: disposal costs. Workers also said he would threaten their jobs
- 7:26Speaker 2: that they refused. The court found that the pollution caused
- 7:29Speaker 2: environmental damage likely led to a mercury fish advisory in
- 7:34Speaker 2: the area. That's not good. There's nothing good about all this,
- 7:39Speaker 2: nothing at all. You know. A runaway zebra callsed a
- 7:47Speaker 2: black and white situation in northern California after stormy weather
- 7:50Speaker 2: sent him wandering through a neighborhood near Sacramento. The striped
- 7:55Speaker 2: escape artist named Zeus was quickly corralled by place Sir
- 8:00Speaker 2: County Animal Services, who said he was calm, cooperative totally
- 8:04Speaker 2: stood out among the usual shelter crowd. After charming staff
- 8:09Speaker 2: and spending the night indoors, Zeus was safely reunited with
- 8:12Speaker 2: his owner. Officials say the adventure made everyone's week a
- 8:15Speaker 2: little more stripetacular, and thankfully no one had to hook
- 8:22Speaker 2: it for long. The puns today in the writing are
- 8:25Speaker 2: right on point. You don't, you know, we get these
- 8:28Speaker 2: stories about animals that escape sometimes. I know in our
- 8:32Speaker 2: area here in the Chattoochie Valley, there was a kangaroo
- 8:36Speaker 2: that was loose and was hopping around and people were
- 8:39Speaker 2: talking about it and I heard from you know, fifty
- 8:42Speaker 2: people sending me text messages about it, and that was fun.
- 8:45Speaker 2: I'm sure Jill got as many or more than I
- 8:47Speaker 2: did about it. Zebra's kind of a rare one. We
- 8:50Speaker 2: don't get a lot of, you know, kangaroos or wallabies.
- 8:54Speaker 2: We don't get a lot of zebras, So you know,
- 8:56Speaker 2: it's kind of nice when you get one and it's
- 8:57Speaker 2: not just a rate like an Ostrich in an Ostrich.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Last week, back to Florida, as a Florida woman faces
- 9:06Speaker 2: charges after police says she trashed a subway over peppers
- 9:11Speaker 2: on her sandwich. Investigators say the thirty three year old woman,
- 9:14Speaker 2: whose name is I'm Unique. I'm unique. I Monique. I
- 9:21Speaker 2: don't know, I'm Monique Clark. I know you're not keeping
- 9:25Speaker 2: score at home. It's all right if we get it wrong,
- 9:27Speaker 2: ordered a sub online using rewards points, but came back angry,
- 9:31Speaker 2: saying that it was made wrong, and she demanded a
- 9:33Speaker 2: new sandwich.
- 9:34Speaker 3: Employees refused.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Police say that she shoved equipment off the counter and
- 9:38Speaker 2: dumped trays of cookies on the floor.
- 9:40Speaker 3: Oh not those foot long cookies. The whole thing was
- 9:43Speaker 3: caught on camera.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Officers identified Clark because she used a real name and
- 9:47Speaker 2: phone number on the order. I'm Unique Clark was that
- 9:52Speaker 2: real name. She was later arrested on criminal mischief charges
- 9:56Speaker 2: and released on bond.
- 9:59Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 9:59Speaker 3: That's one of those tricky things, isn't it. Where if
- 10:02Speaker 3: you are.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Basically placing an order of some kind, right, you're you're
- 10:11Speaker 2: you're ordering something online, and then you're in a situation
- 10:17Speaker 2: where you order it, and then there's a problem and
- 10:20Speaker 2: you go back in and you really just uh, you know,
- 10:23Speaker 2: show your old backside. They got your name, they know
- 10:28Speaker 2: who you are. They probably know how to find you.
- 10:32Speaker 2: It's not it's just not uh, it's not it's not wise.
- 10:37Speaker 2: There's no way this that this ends in a favorable
- 10:41Speaker 2: way for you. Right, There's no way this works out
- 10:46Speaker 2: the way that you think it is, because you're basically,
- 10:50Speaker 2: you know, setting yourself, setting yourself up for failure.
- 10:55Speaker 3: That's all.
- 10:55Speaker 2: That's the whole point I'm trying to get to, right, Uh,
- 10:59Speaker 2: this is story form. A little while back, it was
- 11:02Speaker 2: a this is one of those stories that we kind
- 11:05Speaker 2: of missed but we needed to get to where a
- 11:09Speaker 2: violent scene happened at a game stop store Coma, California.
- 11:13Speaker 2: A pair of grown men got into a fight over
- 11:15Speaker 2: Pokemon cards, but at least say the fight reportedly started
- 11:19Speaker 2: when one man tried to cut in line to buy
- 11:21Speaker 2: Pokemon cards. Things escalated quickly when he allegedly struck another
- 11:26Speaker 2: man in the back of the head with a glass
- 11:28Speaker 2: mason jar.
- 11:31Speaker 4: If you've ever hear a guy in the back of
- 11:34Speaker 4: the head with a glass mason jar, you might be
- 11:37Speaker 4: a red nick a second suspect and this was in
- 11:41Speaker 4: California too.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Second suspect then used the brook sorry to Jeff Foxworthy,
- 11:46Speaker 2: I know he's going to be in town soon, broken
- 11:49Speaker 2: glass to stab the victim several times, so gets hitting
- 11:55Speaker 2: the head with a mason jar and then another person
- 11:58Speaker 2: grabs the broken glass and starts stabbing them. The victim
- 12:02Speaker 2: was rushed to the hospital with life threatening injuries.
- 12:08Speaker 3: Doing better.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Police arrested both suspects later that day, identified as twenty
- 12:14Speaker 2: seven year old Isaiah Calley's and forty nine year old
- 12:18Speaker 2: Miguel Arianis Flores. Both faced multiple charges, including assault with
- 12:23Speaker 2: a deadly weapon and conspiracy to commit a crime. Yes
- 12:30Speaker 2: an American Airlines flight out of San Juan, Puerto Rico
- 12:34Speaker 2: was forced back after a misunderstanding over a text message
- 12:37Speaker 2: sparked a security scare. The flight had taken off for
- 12:42Speaker 2: Dallas when a passenger noticed that her seat mate received
- 12:46Speaker 2: a message that read RIP and assumed it was a threat.
- 12:49Speaker 2: The passenger immediately notified the crew and the decision was
- 12:52Speaker 2: made to return to San Juan of an abundance of caution.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Authorities confirmed that there was no threat. The message was
- 12:59Speaker 2: actually from a grieving family member of the passenger who
- 13:03Speaker 2: just lost a relative and was cutting their vacation short.
- 13:06Speaker 2: American Airlines that the flight landed safely. Aircraft was cleared
- 13:10Speaker 2: to depart again after being inspected, the airline apologizing for
- 13:14Speaker 2: the inconvenience, emphasizing that safety is always top priority. That's scary,
- 13:20Speaker 2: it's dumb, but you got a passenger who had a
- 13:23Speaker 2: problem with it and freaked out, and then that led to,
- 13:26Speaker 2: you know, this over correction by the airline. It happened sometimes,
- 13:32Speaker 2: but it stinks, and it stinks for everybody involved, especially
- 13:35Speaker 2: when you got somebody who's got you know, a relative
- 13:38Speaker 2: or friend or whatever it was, with a grieving a
- 13:42Speaker 2: family member going on. So it's a messed up situation there.
- 13:46Speaker 2: But everybody just got there late. Everybody got there late
- 13:51Speaker 2: because of an overcorrection. What a chockra that an airline
- 13:54Speaker 2: might overcorrect in a situation. Today's show brought to you

- 16:09Speaker 2: care of square in that away for you, and while

- 16:14Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
- 16:17Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
- 16:21Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
- 16:23Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
- 16:25Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
- 16:29Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
- 16:32Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got with colder or
- 16:35Speaker 2: warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
- 16:40Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
- 16:42Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
- 16:45Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
- 16:47Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
- 16:51Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
- 16:54Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
- 16:56Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
- 16:58Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
- 17:01Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
- 17:04Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
- 17:06Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
- 17:10Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
- 17:13Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty
- 17:15Speaker 2: five hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five
- 17:18Speaker 2: hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show
- 17:23Speaker 2: right after the break. So this sounds like something from
- 17:34Speaker 2: April Fool's Day. Apparently it's not. But Oreo has a
- 17:43Speaker 2: new flavor. I'm gonna be honest with you when it
- 17:47Speaker 2: comes to the Oreo flavors. I'm not a big fan.
- 17:51Speaker 2: I like the regular Oreos. I like the golden oreos.
- 17:55Speaker 2: Occasionally you get something that, like the peanut butter oreos
- 17:59Speaker 2: are good, especially like the ones with reeses.
- 18:02Speaker 3: Those were really good.
- 18:04Speaker 2: But most of the other stuff I just you know,
- 18:06Speaker 2: mint that's fine, reminds me of the old grasshopper cookies.
- 18:09Speaker 2: That's that's pretty good. But it's a lot of those.
- 18:13Speaker 2: I just I couldn't get behind just so miny red
- 18:16Speaker 2: velvet oreos, and I love red velvet cake. No I
- 18:19Speaker 2: don't need a red velvet oreo. I don't need a
- 18:21Speaker 2: birthday cake oreo. It's just a bunch of them. I
- 18:23Speaker 2: just I don't need them, even the chocolate centered oreos. No.
- 18:30Speaker 2: Craziest thing for me with oreos would just be like,
- 18:32Speaker 2: you know, add extra stuff and I don't even really
- 18:34Speaker 2: I'd rather just have a regular Oreo than all that
- 18:36Speaker 2: extra stuffing, the most stuff and all those things. And
- 18:40Speaker 2: then sometimes they come in with these flavors and you
- 18:42Speaker 2: just go, what are they thinking?
- 18:43Speaker 3: What are they doing?
- 18:44Speaker 2: Or have they struck brilliance? Because I don't know, But
- 18:49Speaker 2: I can tell you that the dill pickle flavored fudge
- 18:53Speaker 2: oreos uh is a thing, a limited edition Oreo ways
- 19:00Speaker 2: and cream coated in a light green pickle flavored fudge
- 19:05Speaker 2: gives you that hit of vinegar and dil.
- 19:11Speaker 3: It's a thing.
- 19:12Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if I like pickles.
- 19:16Speaker 2: I just don't know about this one. I would kind
- 19:20Speaker 2: of like to try it, but I would imagine it's
- 19:22Speaker 2: not going to be great.
- 19:25Speaker 3: That's all. That's all I got to say.
- 19:28Speaker 2: If you try it and you like it, or you
- 19:30Speaker 2: don't like it, let me know. I'd love to hear
- 19:32Speaker 2: from you, because I haven't seen them yet, and I
- 19:35Speaker 2: can't imagine buying a whole bag of them. They need
- 19:37Speaker 2: to come in a sample size, I think, just so
- 19:40Speaker 2: you can check them out and gough or yes, and
- 19:44Speaker 2: then go buy a bigger bag if you want to.
- 19:47Speaker 2: Speaking of different flavors for things, it's back Doctor Pepper
- 19:55Speaker 2: Creamy Coconut back on shelves now and it will be
- 19:58Speaker 2: so through July first, available in regular and zero versions yep,
- 20:04Speaker 2: zero sugar. And fans are saying, why is this limited
- 20:11Speaker 2: time thing? Why is this not a permanent thing. I
- 20:14Speaker 2: haven't actually tried this either. I am more likely to
- 20:17Speaker 2: give this one a shot, I think than the fudge
- 20:21Speaker 2: dill pickle oreos I said I was done with that right,
- 20:27Speaker 2: all right, oscar Meyer giving a bold upgrade to breakfast.
- 20:31Speaker 2: They have launched their maple bourbon bacon. It's its first
- 20:36Speaker 2: new bacon flavor in five years. Thick cut bacon with
- 20:40Speaker 2: real Evan Williams bourbon and then slow smoked for twelve hours.
- 20:46Speaker 2: The result, of course, that sweet savory combo with maple upfront,
- 20:52Speaker 2: subtle vanilla caramel notes from the bourbon. The bacon is
- 20:56Speaker 2: rolling out to grocery stores nationwide this month, just in
- 20:59Speaker 2: time for grilling season. Oscar Meyer says this is the
- 21:02Speaker 2: start of a bigger push towards trend driven flavors, with
- 21:08Speaker 2: plans to introduce a new bacon variety every year. Again,
- 21:15Speaker 2: I could get behind this, this is all right, this
- 21:17Speaker 2: is this would be at the top of the list.
- 21:20Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. According to a new study, when
- 21:22Speaker 2: husbands take over grocery shopping, household spending jumps by about
- 21:26Speaker 2: five percent because they're buying maple bourbon bacon and those
- 21:33Speaker 2: creamy coconut doctor peppers.
- 21:36Speaker 3: I don't know, probably not the I don't know.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Maybe they are buying the pickles. It seems men tend
- 21:41Speaker 2: to make more frequent but shorter trips to the store
- 21:45Speaker 2: and often don't compare prices or use coupons to get
- 21:48Speaker 2: the most bang for their buck. I'll say this, I'm
- 21:52Speaker 2: a little offended by this study because I'm definitely the
- 21:55Speaker 2: exception on this. I am the grocery shopper in our household.
- 21:59Speaker 2: I enjoy I think I talked yesterday about the fact
- 22:03Speaker 2: that I worked in a grocery store for several years.
- 22:07Speaker 2: I have a pretty decent understanding of the way the
- 22:10Speaker 2: stores are set up, the way they're run, the effort
- 22:13Speaker 2: that goes behind the layout.
- 22:15Speaker 3: Of stores, where products are placed.
- 22:17Speaker 2: It's a very it's a science. And I do our
- 22:20Speaker 2: shopping and I'm the frugal one. I would just like
- 22:23Speaker 2: to point that out. My wife is also pretty frugal,
- 22:26Speaker 2: but she's also more likely to go into a store
- 22:29Speaker 2: that sells milk and over pay for it because it
- 22:32Speaker 2: was a convenience store nearby, not a convenience store, but because.
- 22:36Speaker 3: The grocery store was closer to where she was.
- 22:39Speaker 2: I will drive a little out of the way, not
- 22:41Speaker 2: a lot, but a little out of the way to
- 22:43Speaker 2: get it at the cheap price, because that's just the
- 22:45Speaker 2: way I roll. So I'm a little offended by that
- 22:49Speaker 2: over in not by her buying the milk, but by
- 22:53Speaker 2: you know, this idea that prices go up, spending goes
- 22:56Speaker 2: up because of men shopping. Over Norway, a fleet of
- 23:01Speaker 2: twenty flying electric ferries will be shuttling people around around
- 23:06Speaker 2: in the furds for the next year. The ferries computer
- 23:10Speaker 2: controlled hydrofoil wings will lift the hole completely out of
- 23:14Speaker 2: the water, slashing energy consumption by eighty percent and allowing
- 23:17Speaker 2: a silent zero mission cruising speed of about twenty eight
- 23:22Speaker 2: miles per hour. And because the boat literally flies above
- 23:25Speaker 2: the waves, passengers can enjoy a smooth.
- 23:27Speaker 3: Ride freely.
- 23:30Speaker 2: Because they're free from the sicknesses that come around the
- 23:33Speaker 2: country sixty two thousand miles of coastline. So yeah, you
- 23:36Speaker 2: get seasick and you have able to fly and just
- 23:40Speaker 2: enjoy it rather. That's pretty cool. Makes me want to
- 23:43Speaker 2: go to Norway and just fly around on one of
- 23:45Speaker 2: those ferries. I think that'd be fun. And if you crash,
- 23:48Speaker 2: you're probably not falling far. You land in the water,
- 23:51Speaker 2: slash around a.
- 23:51Speaker 3: Little bit and then they can just float you out
- 23:55Speaker 3: of there.
- 23:55Speaker 2: I guess that'll do it for this Friday edition of
- 23:58Speaker 2: the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patres Thank you
