0:01
Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Friday morning, third day of October. I'm west Thanks for
0:14
Speaker 2: joining me. I know it's Friday. We try to keep
0:16
Speaker 2: it kind of light. That's what we do on Fridays.
0:21
Speaker 2: But before we can do that, I've got well, I've
0:25
Speaker 2: got a story. I feel like it is worth mentioning,
0:27
Speaker 2: it's worth noting, and I feel like we need to
0:31
Speaker 2: at least discuss it. University of Delawar's Student TV network
0:38
Speaker 2: included at the end of their I Guess TV shows.
0:43
Speaker 2: At the closing credits to one of their shows, they
0:46
Speaker 2: had some special thanks listed and Charlie Kirk's Killer was
0:50
Speaker 2: one of the people that received special thinks it's ud
0:55
Speaker 2: student run STN forty nine. I Guess is the name
0:58
Speaker 2: of the show, and they listed some other what they think.
1:02
Speaker 2: It's a live sketch comedy show biweekly that they do
1:06
Speaker 2: and also in there was cocaine and violence were other
1:09
Speaker 2: things that were thinked. They did take I Guess eventually
1:14
Speaker 2: take that down. The network overseen by someone on faculty
1:19
Speaker 2: and advisor. It's part of their calm department. It said,
1:24
Speaker 2: the University of Delaware unequivocally condemns the deeply offensive and
1:28
Speaker 2: insensitive language that appeared in the rolling credits of the
1:31
Speaker 2: live broadcast of a comedy program that was produced by
1:34
Speaker 2: the student led television station. Following the live streamed comedy show,
1:40
Speaker 2: a member of the station immediately raised concerns among student
1:43
Speaker 2: peers about offensive language and the credits. Recognizing the negative
1:47
Speaker 2: impact of that language, the group decided within hours of
1:50
Speaker 2: its original broadcast to remove the rolling credits before posting
1:53
Speaker 2: the content to their site. We want to state clearly
1:58
Speaker 2: that UD does not condone the use of any language
2:01
Speaker 2: that diminishes the value of human life, respect, and civility,
2:05
Speaker 2: or core university values. UD remains committed to fostering opportunities
2:10
Speaker 2: for dialogue about civility and the responsibilities that come with
2:14
Speaker 2: free expression in a diverse and inclusive community. So there
2:21
Speaker 2: you go. This is I guess the former President Biden's
2:26
Speaker 2: alma mater. I don't know if that's relevant. I don't know.
2:30
Speaker 2: It's just worth noting that this is the kind of
2:33
Speaker 2: school that puts out Joe Biden. That Nick Miles, by
2:39
Speaker 2: the way, it was the executive director of this program,
2:45
Speaker 2: and he had this quote. This program operates under faculty oversight,
2:48
Speaker 2: with taxpayer funded resources, and carries the university stamp of approval.
2:52
Speaker 2: For something like this to make it on air is
2:54
Speaker 2: both disturbing and unacceptable. So yeah, a little bit. It's
3:01
Speaker 2: a little bit unacceptable. It's not okay, not at all.
3:05
Speaker 2: You gotta wonder if the flood of people who decided
3:10
Speaker 2: that it was funny that Charlie Kirk was killed and
3:14
Speaker 2: that they should go online and post about it, or
3:17
Speaker 2: the people who you know, went you know, just streaming. Yes,
3:21
Speaker 2: who's next, those kinds of things. Those people losing their jobs,
3:24
Speaker 2: many of them that did work at universities. It makes
3:28
Speaker 2: you wonder if that had any influence somehow. Quickly this
3:32
Speaker 2: was pulled down that someone there at the school. I
3:35
Speaker 2: mean they're saying that it was someone involved with this
3:37
Speaker 2: show itself decided that it was in the best interest
3:43
Speaker 2: for it to be pulled down, so anyone. Sometimes we
3:47
Speaker 2: have to talk about these things. It's unfortunate. I'd like
3:49
Speaker 2: to do it on a Friday. I like to keep
3:51
Speaker 2: it light. You know. We like some weird news, we
3:54
Speaker 2: like some fun, positive news, we like all of those things.
3:59
Speaker 2: Before we jump on over to the good news because
4:03
Speaker 2: we like the happy, happy news before we get into
4:05
Speaker 2: the less happy news, just want to remind you that
4:10
Speaker 2: the Nutcracker Ballet, presented by the Columbus Ballet is coming
4:15
Speaker 2: again to the Columbus River Center and don't miss your
4:22
Speaker 2: chance to get your tickets to the show, and we
4:26
Speaker 2: want to see you there in attendance. And we'd like
4:29
Speaker 2: to remind you yet again that don't get your tickets
4:35
Speaker 2: from any of the third party sellers. That's not the
4:38
Speaker 2: way to go when you go online to get your tickets.
4:42
Speaker 2: If you're buying them online, you should get them from
4:45
Speaker 2: the Columbus Ballet dot org or directly from the River Center.
4:48
Speaker 2: You can get them from the River Center's box office
4:51
Speaker 2: as well. And you shouldn't be paying these up price
4:55
Speaker 2: these up charged ticket prices. You're getting ripped off. You
4:58
Speaker 2: don't want to pay one hundred bucks for tickets to
5:02
Speaker 2: the show, You shouldn't have to do that. And the
5:04
Speaker 2: show Saturday, December thirteenth, seven thirty pm. Sunday December fourteenth
5:09
Speaker 2: at two thirty pm, the matinee show at the River Center,
5:13
Speaker 2: and we'd love to see you there. I'll be on
5:15
Speaker 2: stage and the role of Mother Ginger for the seventh time.
5:18
Speaker 2: I'm very excited about getting back to the stage. I
5:22
Speaker 2: did my next surgery with this show in mind. My
5:27
Speaker 2: recovery will have me ready to go back on stage,
5:30
Speaker 2: back on the stilts, and ready to perform for you.
5:34
Speaker 2: So we hope to see you there and again. Ticket
5:37
Speaker 2: prices from the actual people selling the tickets the Columbus
5:44
Speaker 2: Ballet through the River Center or whatever. Thirty five dollars
5:48
Speaker 2: to fifty nine dollars, that's your price. Ticket range, tickets
5:51
Speaker 2: range for the prices. You don't want to pay one
5:53
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars at Someone tell me one day,
5:56
Speaker 2: I was trying to get some seats down near the
5:59
Speaker 2: stage and they were like three hundred dollars, and it's like,
6:01
Speaker 2: what where are you getting those from? You don't want those,
6:06
Speaker 2: nobody want, You don't need that. That's not how much
6:09
Speaker 2: those tickets cost. Someone is buying those tickets and reselling
6:13
Speaker 2: them to you. That's what's happening. And you don't fall
6:16
Speaker 2: prey to that. You don't want to be a victim
6:18
Speaker 2: of all that. Nobody needs that. That's not what we
6:21
Speaker 2: need at all. December thirteenth and fourteenth at the River Center.
6:25
Speaker 2: Get your tickets from the River Center box office or
6:28
Speaker 2: the Columbus Ballet dot org. Rivercenter dot org is the
6:32
Speaker 2: website for the River Center's box office. All right, let's
6:35
Speaker 2: jump into some good news, some positive news, some happy news,
6:40
Speaker 2: some things that we can feel good about. And how
6:43
Speaker 2: about this one. I like animal stories. We all like
6:45
Speaker 2: a good animal story, right, I mean, when we get
6:49
Speaker 2: to the weird news, if we can get a story
6:52
Speaker 2: about a bear breaking into someone's kitchen and you know,
6:57
Speaker 2: eating all of their honey or something, that's it's right too.
7:00
Speaker 2: But this is a good news story. I mean, that's
7:02
Speaker 2: a good news story for the bear. This one is
7:05
Speaker 2: about a pig. Story about a brave little piglet in
7:08
Speaker 2: Iowa with a happy ending. Animal rescuers and Cedar Rapids
7:12
Speaker 2: say that this little pig, which has been named Peppa,
7:17
Speaker 2: leapt from the back of a moving truck on a
7:19
Speaker 2: highway in a desperate jump for freedom. She suffered a
7:22
Speaker 2: few bumps and scrapes, but Cedar Rapids Animal Care treated
7:24
Speaker 2: her and said in a social media post that she's
7:28
Speaker 2: doing so sow l soalwell. The pig Peppa spent her
7:37
Speaker 2: first day of freedom, getting warm hugs from staff needing grass.
7:41
Speaker 2: But the story gets better. After hearing about her harrowing story,
7:44
Speaker 2: the Iowa Farm Sanctuary offered to take her and give
7:48
Speaker 2: her a forever home where she will get to enjoy comfort,
7:51
Speaker 2: care and an occasional role in the mud. I would think,
7:55
Speaker 2: as a pig, you want plenty of roles in the mud, right,
7:59
Speaker 2: So give them tow her. Just give him to her,
8:02
Speaker 2: Let her have her roles in the mud. Back on
8:06
Speaker 2: July fourth, phasin Chawdry lost his Faison. Faison, maybe be
8:13
Speaker 2: that's what that is? Childhrey lost his phone. It's an
8:17
Speaker 2: iPhone fourteen promax. He was tubing on the Delaware River
8:21
Speaker 2: along the New Jersey Pennsylvania border. But two and a
8:25
Speaker 2: half months later he got a call from a woman
8:27
Speaker 2: named Mattie Wells, who spotted the phone during a Did
8:31
Speaker 2: I say he lost the phone? He lost the phone
8:33
Speaker 2: during a canoe trip and brought it back to him
8:36
Speaker 2: amazing or it brought it home amazingly, eaving that the
8:38
Speaker 2: phone was submerged in water for months, it powered on
8:40
Speaker 2: still worked perfectly. Maddie called Faison with the good news
8:45
Speaker 2: she had his phone and it was working Faison was
8:47
Speaker 2: shocked by the news. He even thought it was possibly
8:49
Speaker 2: a prank, and he said, I was sketchy about it
8:53
Speaker 2: at first, thinking I might be getting scammed or something,
8:57
Speaker 2: but he changed his mind when Maddy sent him a
8:59
Speaker 2: text with a picture of his phone. Faison drove to
9:03
Speaker 2: meet Mattie and get his phone back. I just couldn't
9:05
Speaker 2: believe it, he said, and I was just mind blown.
9:09
Speaker 2: I mean, you wouldn't expect something like that after two
9:11
Speaker 2: and a half months being in the water. That is wild. Phone.
9:16
Speaker 2: My phones don't have I have to put them in cases,
9:19
Speaker 2: and even then, if they get dropped or scraped, there's
9:23
Speaker 2: always going to be some issue with it. All right,
9:25
Speaker 2: let's move over to some strange and bizarre news. A
9:27
Speaker 2: stretch of highway in LA was left looking like the
9:31
Speaker 2: morning after a wild frat party when a multi vehicle
9:34
Speaker 2: crash spilled beer, kegs and cans all over the road.
9:38
Speaker 2: According to the California Highway Patrol, several vehicles were involved,
9:42
Speaker 2: including some semi trucks. One truck's trailer was ripped open,
9:46
Speaker 2: spilling its entire load of cors like cans and kegs.
9:50
Speaker 2: All westbound lanes were initially closed following the crash, but
9:53
Speaker 2: crews were able to move the debris to the right
9:56
Speaker 2: two lanes, allowing traffic to pass on the left. No
9:59
Speaker 2: s curious injuries were reported. But it's a scene, man,
10:06
Speaker 2: It's a scene, you know, straight out of Animal House
10:10
Speaker 2: or any of those movies. A school in Ohio briefly
10:15
Speaker 2: offered students of course in yak wrangling after I heard
10:19
Speaker 2: of yak's escaped from a nearby ranch and ended up
10:21
Speaker 2: in the school yard. During recess, five large bovines got
10:24
Speaker 2: out of their enclosure at Hidden Nook Ranch, located about
10:28
Speaker 2: a mile from Indian Lake Middle School. Some sixth grade
10:32
Speaker 2: teachers noticed the animals munching on the grass while students
10:35
Speaker 2: were outside for recess. Sheriff's deputies in personnel from the
10:39
Speaker 2: ranch responded to the scene and tried to wrangle the
10:42
Speaker 2: animals into a trailer, but the yaks wouldn't budge. It
10:45
Speaker 2: took several people using gates to finally lead them into
10:49
Speaker 2: a truck and ultimately get them taken back to the ranch.
10:56
Speaker 2: How about that for a story. I mean middle schoolers
11:00
Speaker 2: es chipping in helping out. I don't know. Police in
11:04
Speaker 2: Germany recently pulled over a bright pink car because they
11:08
Speaker 2: thought it looked a little suspicious, and they were right.
11:10
Speaker 2: Officers approached the car and opened the trunk to find
11:13
Speaker 2: a Shetland pony just chilling out on a rolled up
11:16
Speaker 2: carpet in the back seat. The little horse even got
11:20
Speaker 2: a bucket of feed in front of it, and it
11:24
Speaker 2: was settling in for a road trip. The driver, a
11:27
Speaker 2: woman from the area, didn't seem to think anything was wrong.
11:30
Speaker 2: She'd tied the pony to a metal hook it insisted
11:32
Speaker 2: that it was safe. Police, though, weren't convinced. They explained
11:36
Speaker 2: that in the event of a crash, the pony could
11:37
Speaker 2: be thrown forward with a force of about seven and
11:40
Speaker 2: a half tons, posing a serious danger to everyone on
11:44
Speaker 2: the road. The woman was issued a forty one dollar
11:46
Speaker 2: ticket that she refused to pay because she didn't think
11:49
Speaker 2: she did anything wrong, but authorities disagreed. She was stopped
11:53
Speaker 2: from continuing her journey with the pony in tow and
11:56
Speaker 2: faces criminal charges. It's a forty one dollar ticket.
12:00
Speaker 1: Pay the ticket.
12:01
Speaker 2: You're getting off easy with a forty one dollar ticket,
12:04
Speaker 2: believe me. I mean now, it's like forty one dollars
12:09
Speaker 2: for jaywalking, right, I mean at least parking in the
12:13
Speaker 2: wrong spot, you're gonna get forty one bucks. I think
12:16
Speaker 2: I've got more animal stuff, Peta, calling for a criminal
12:19
Speaker 2: investigation into a teacher at a high school in Texas
12:23
Speaker 2: who was accused of feeding a week old kitten to
12:26
Speaker 2: a live snake in her classroom. Now, this is the
12:29
Speaker 2: case where Pete I think is okay to be involved.
12:32
Speaker 2: Often Peta chimes in on things, and I think you
12:35
Speaker 2: know what, Stay in your lane, Peta. But this might
12:38
Speaker 2: be one where Peter should be involved. An advance to
12:43
Speaker 2: animal science teacher at Albert High School allegedly brought in
12:47
Speaker 2: four kittens that were born to her own cat and
12:51
Speaker 2: fed one of them to the snake. The incident came
12:53
Speaker 2: to light after a student, who was very upset, took
12:56
Speaker 2: home remaining kittens. Unfortunately those kittens. Later students in the
13:00
Speaker 2: classroom say the teacher told him that she had more
13:04
Speaker 2: pregnant cats at home and had fed kittens to the
13:07
Speaker 2: snakes before. Because you can't save them all is that
13:11
Speaker 2: the Pokemon slogan? That's sort of it's close right, can't
13:15
Speaker 2: catch them all right. Peter's filed a complaint calling for
13:18
Speaker 2: a criminal investigation to Meanwhile, the school superintendent says the
13:21
Speaker 2: teacher is an experienced educator and an animal lover and
13:25
Speaker 2: has apologized. She also has removed all snakes from her classroom.
13:29
Speaker 2: Peter said in a statement, anyone who would demonstrate such
13:33
Speaker 2: cruel and disturbing behavior shouldn't be around children or animals.
13:36
Speaker 2: Like I said, normally, I don't tend to be like Pete,
13:40
Speaker 2: and I often see things like when they were complaining
13:43
Speaker 2: about Uga and they said it should be a robot
13:46
Speaker 2: bulldog and all those sorts of things. I can't side
13:49
Speaker 2: with Pete on that, but in this case, and I
13:53
Speaker 2: also would just like to point out this as well,
13:56
Speaker 2: allowing her to take the snakes home where she says
13:58
Speaker 2: she has more pregnant cats. I don't know that that's
14:02
Speaker 2: really a good idea. I mean, I really don't know
14:08
Speaker 2: that that's in the best interest of those cats, because, yeah,
14:13
Speaker 2: you're basically sending the snakes to the house where the
14:18
Speaker 2: other kittens are. Right, all right, A little different now.
14:23
Speaker 2: A man in China went viral on social media after
14:26
Speaker 2: he got his head stuck inside a traffic light. Probably
14:29
Speaker 2: doesn't sound likely, but here's how it went. The man
14:33
Speaker 2: was riding an electric scooter collided with a temporary traffic light.
14:37
Speaker 2: Somehow his head got stuck inside the metal casing and
14:40
Speaker 2: was wedged so tightly that it took firefighters nearly forty
14:43
Speaker 2: minutes to cut him free. Fortunately enough for him, though
14:47
Speaker 2: the bizarre scene was captured on camera. I mean probably
14:52
Speaker 2: not fortunately for him, but fortunately for him they will
14:54
Speaker 2: get him out.
14:55
Speaker 1: I guess.
14:55
Speaker 2: Shared all over social media. The video showed him lying
14:58
Speaker 2: in the street with an illuminated train light stuck on
15:00
Speaker 2: his head. While physical injuries should heal, the embarrassment not
15:05
Speaker 2: going away anytime soon. That's pretty rough. It looks weird.
15:10
Speaker 2: I mean, if you haven't seen the video, it's certainly
15:12
Speaker 2: worth checking out. It's weird. And finally, a thirteen year
15:16
Speaker 2: old boy took his curiosity to new heights. Literally. He
15:19
Speaker 2: managed to slip past security at an airport in Kabul
15:22
Speaker 2: and climbed into the wheel well of a passenger plane
15:26
Speaker 2: bound for Delhi. No one noticed, so he remained in
15:31
Speaker 2: the tight, freezing space with little oxygen for the entire
15:35
Speaker 2: two hour flight. Miraculously, somehow he survived. When the plane landed,
15:40
Speaker 2: he wandered around the tarmac until finally someone saw him
15:43
Speaker 2: took him into custody. He told him he was curious
15:46
Speaker 2: about the plane's landing year and didn't know how dangerous
15:48
Speaker 2: it was to climb into it. He also said he
15:51
Speaker 2: wanted to go to Iran and he believed that this
15:54
Speaker 2: particular plane would take him there. The boy was eventually
15:57
Speaker 2: sent back to Afghanistan on the Sandeane, although inside the
16:02
Speaker 2: cabin for that trip. Today's show brought to you by
16:05
Speaker 2: Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and
16:10

16:20
Speaker 2: it for school age kids as school age kids visit
16:23
Speaker 2: the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do
16:25
Speaker 2: it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
16:31
Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
16:36
Speaker 2: right now. And you can learn more about maybe getting
16:39
Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
16:46

16:49
Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwobe School
16:54
Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
16:57
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
17:02
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
17:04
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
17:08
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
17:13
Speaker 2: right here in Columbus. Inside the planetarium at the Coca
17:17
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
17:20
Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
17:25
Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
17:28
Speaker 2: Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
17:31
Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
17:35
Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
17:37
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events.
17:40
Speaker 2: Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean
17:45
Speaker 2: Crusan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just
17:50
Speaker 2: remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science
17:53
Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
17:57
Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
18:01
Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
18:07
Speaker 2: that it's time for it's always good to get maintenance
18:10
Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
18:14
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
18:17
Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
18:19
Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
18:22
Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
18:25
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
18:29
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
18:31
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
18:33
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
18:37
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
18:40
Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or
18:43
Speaker 2: warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
18:48
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
18:50
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
18:53
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
18:55
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
19:00
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
19:02
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
19:04
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
19:06
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
19:09

Speaker 2: Right after the break Well, a newlywed couple in India's
19:42
Speaker 2: called it quits less than a year of marriage. And
19:48
Speaker 2: it wasn't because of money. It wasn't because of in
19:50
Speaker 2: laws or cheating. It's because their dog and cat couldn't
19:53
Speaker 2: stand each other. Yep, the dog and the cat constantly
19:58
Speaker 2: fighting and despite trying to make peace, the couple just
20:00
Speaker 2: couldn't handle the chaos and neither wanted to give up
20:02
Speaker 2: their pet, so they chose divorce instead. Maybe this is
20:08
Speaker 2: just a lesson that we could apply to life and say, hey,
20:11
Speaker 2: if you start getting in a serious relationship and you
20:14
Speaker 2: have pets, maybe spend some time with the pets together.
20:17
Speaker 2: You know, they say it's important that you spend time
20:20
Speaker 2: with your future in laws, and I agree with that completely,
20:25
Speaker 2: especially spend time with your future spouse and their in laws.
20:29
Speaker 2: They say, you know, for men, you want to watch
20:32
Speaker 2: the way the dynamic between your lady friend and their father,
20:39
Speaker 2: and then the opposite. For women, you know, you want
20:42
Speaker 2: to check the guy out and how he interacts with
20:44
Speaker 2: his mom when possible, and then maybe you want to
20:47
Speaker 2: just you know, get your dog and your cat in
20:50
Speaker 2: the same room, see how they get along, and then
20:54
Speaker 2: you may, well, maybe we could give this a run.
20:56
Speaker 2: Maybe this has a chance, if it's going to be that,
20:59
Speaker 2: if it's a deal breaker for you. Americans this Halloween
21:03
Speaker 2: expected to spend a record thirteen point one billion dollars
21:06
Speaker 2: on costumes, decorations, candy, and greeting cards. What According to
21:11
Speaker 2: the National Retail Federation, greeting cards costumes account for the
21:15
Speaker 2: biggest expense, with about four point three billion dollars expected
21:18
Speaker 2: to be spent. Three point nine billion will go towards candy.
21:21
Speaker 2: The average person this year, we'll spend about one hundred
21:24
Speaker 2: and fourteen dollars, which is also a record. One of
21:27
Speaker 2: the reasons for the record Halloween spending is an increase
21:30
Speaker 2: in the price of candy, which is up about eight
21:32
Speaker 2: percent compared to a year ago. A new study says
21:38
Speaker 2: a lot of young singles are hitting pauls on dating,
21:40
Speaker 2: and the reason isn't app fatigue or ghosting its money.
21:46
Speaker 2: According to research from datingnews dot Com and the Kensey Institute,
21:49
Speaker 2: nearly half of young singles are going on fewer dates
21:53
Speaker 2: and over a third or cutting back on dating altogether.
21:56
Speaker 2: Why Because it's too expensive. Gen Z is feeling it
22:00
Speaker 2: with as far as the most, with fifty percent saying
22:04
Speaker 2: financial stress is making them hesitant about pursuing a relationship.
22:09
Speaker 2: So it's not just the cost of the dates, it's
22:12
Speaker 2: also about the potential cost of being in a relationship.
22:17
Speaker 2: So yeah, there's that. If you think just throwing money
22:22
Speaker 2: away and redistribution of wealth around the world in the
22:27
Speaker 2: name of climate change and green New Deal and all
22:31
Speaker 2: that fun stuff doesn't have a long term impact on
22:34
Speaker 2: everyday citizens, well here's another example of how it does.
22:38
Speaker 2: How much is a decent night of sleep worth for you?
22:43
Speaker 2: It's a question posed by the eight Sleep Company and
22:47
Speaker 2: their new pod pillow cover. The cover is designed to
22:51
Speaker 2: slip over your existing pillows without changing their shape or firmness,
22:55
Speaker 2: and it uses silent hydro channels to circulate temperature control
23:00
Speaker 2: old water beneath your head. The sleeper can pick an
23:03
Speaker 2: exact temperature anywhere from fifty five to one hundred and
23:06
Speaker 2: ten degrees fahrenheit, and the cover, they say, will maintain
23:11
Speaker 2: that all night long. Price to keep your head cool
23:16
Speaker 2: or to always have the underside of the pillow up
23:19
Speaker 2: top ranges from a well it's one thousand forty nine
23:23
Speaker 2: dollars for one, or you can get a pair of
23:26
Speaker 2: them for sixteen forty nine, as in sixteen hundred forty
23:30
Speaker 2: nine dollars. For close to five decades, the Jack Daniels
23:35
Speaker 2: Distillery in Tennessee has been helping the local economy in
23:37
Speaker 2: an unusual way by giving it's spent grains to cattle
23:41
Speaker 2: farmers for feed. But no more. The distillery has struck
23:44
Speaker 2: a deal with Three Rivers Energy to turn the stillage
23:48
Speaker 2: into renewable gas and fertilizer. It's a move to try
23:53
Speaker 2: to help the environment. Bad news for the farmers though,
23:55
Speaker 2: who had come to rely on the feed. One of
23:58
Speaker 2: them says, all I know is it's going to destroy us.
24:01
Speaker 2: And of course the move comes when beef prices are
24:04
Speaker 2: high and an all time high, and it makes farmers'
24:07
Speaker 2: lives even tougher. So there you go. That'll do it
