couple of books. It never publishedthem, but why not? Oh they
won They weren't any good too.They kind of had a shelf life.

(09:18):
But you know, but then assoon as I walked into a college radio
station, I was like, oh, oh my god, I could do
this. This is this is easy. I could do this. I worked
in radio before I went to college. Oh did you Yeah. I got

okay. Did my internship for DVEin ninety oh okay, so there
was a couple of years in between. And then how did you get the
job at DVE? I applied,just applied for it. They were hiring

Privacy advocates say cars are now surveillancemachines on wheels, and they are
collecting gobs of information about you withsensors, microphones, and cameras. One

(13:54):
researcher, Misha Raikov says cars arerecording pretty much everything, biometric data,
demographics, race, sexual orientation,gender, everything, and people who have
addressed this issue with car dealers havefound it's very difficult to shut off the
data sharing. It's a lot morecomplicated than just clicking an unsubscribed button to
protect your privacy. The screen inmy car, every once in a while,

(14:18):
it'll a thing will pop up andit'll say data sharing. I'm like,
I don't care. I'm so boring. Nobody wants to know. That's
why I still drive a Model TFord because it's not technologically spying on you
exactly. Stories like this amaze me. Football linemen, of course known for
eating very big meals to keep uptheir weight. But Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman

(14:41):
Jordan Bilata really packs on the poundor the packs on the food to maintain
his six foot eight, three hundredand seventy four pound frow. That's a
big boy. He recently revealed thathe eats the exact same dinner the night
before every game. An entire boxof bow type pasta with shrimp, pink
sauce, spinach, sun dried tomatoes, and garlic. Now that would be

(15:03):
enough. Add a twenty out steak, Wow, and three pieces of garlic
bread. Now that's the night beforethe game. For breakfast on game day.
Yeah, he has an eight eggomelet. It's four eggs and four
egg whites with spinach, mushrooms andcheese. Then four to eight pancakes,

(15:24):
depending on how big they are kindto maintain his figure. Wow. Unbelievable
And speaking of sports, good newsfor fans. New research finds that seeing
your favorite team in action is goodfor your health. I agree, researchers
with Waseda University in Japan, foundthat watching sports isn't just entertaining, it
boosts both physical and mental well being. Beyond being a source of enjoyment and

(15:48):
relaxation for people, it also helpscreate a sense of community and belonging,
especially when watching in large crowds.They say the sense of connection not only
makes individuals feel good, but alsobenefits society at large by improving health,
enhancing productivity, and reducing crime.Unless they lose, then it sucks,
probably, like if you're a Piratefan, we all feel so well.

(16:11):
I don't know. Maybe we'll changeon Saturday. We'll see, all right.
