a lot to do today, so let's get things going.
Y'all know how to do this all together?

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Now? Three two one. Today is Friday.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
It is November the fourteenth, the year of Our Lord
twenty twenty five, and it is indeed a day worth celebrating.
It is International Girls' Day. It's also loosen Up lighting

Speakers Association Day, I have no idea, And it is
World Diabetes Day on this day in history, in eighteen

(01:59):
nine twenty six, Power Planet Niagara Falls begins Operation Matgine,
flipping that switch. In nineteen ninety four, the first public
trains run through the Channel Tunnel, the chunnel linking England
and France under the English Channel. I remember being in
school when that happened and they were talking about what

(02:20):
a historical moment that was. Like I thought the whole
world was celebrating this thing, and it would be something.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
That would celebrate every year. And then life moved on.
On this day.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
In nineteen twenty two, the bbcve against daily radio broadcasts
from the two LO transmitter at Marconi House.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Nineteen ninety one.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Michael Jackson's Black or White music video with groundbreaking morphine
effects premieres simultaneously in twenty seven countries on MTV, Fox
TV and the BBC's Top of the pops. I remember
that via reasons to celebrate it's stif for us to
look local. The John C. Campbell Folk School hosted its

(03:07):
Forging for the Future Live auction on Saturday, November the eighth,
drawing artists, supporters and craft lovers to the Keith House
Community Room for a night of creativity and community. Guests
bid on one of a kind pieces from the Folk
School's centennial Artists collection, and the event was a major success,
raising nearly forty thousand dollars to support the school's mission

(03:28):
of preserving traditional craft, music, and art. Organizers expressed deep
gratitude for the strong turnout and the continued support from
the community. Meanwhile, the Union County Fire Department has received
a donation of forty eight smoke alarms from City Plumbing
and Electric Supply Company. Residents in need of alarms can
contact the Fire department at seven oh six four three

(03:49):
nine six oh nine to one, or submit an online
request through the Union County website. The department says the
donation will go a long way in improving home fire
safety and it's grateful for the ongoing partnership that is
Today's local Look. It is now time for Today's official
dad joke. Don't try this at home. I'm a professional.

(04:12):
Why did the boy throw a stick of butter out
the window?

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (04:16):
What?

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Because he wanted to see a butterfly. It's sign for
your Mountains Sports Report, brought to you by the Clay
County Recreation Center. We've began with the Friday Night Lights
Playoff edition in one A in North Carolina. It's a

(04:40):
matchup of two Smoky Mountain Conference teams in round number
two as Andrews travels to Robbinsville to take on the
Black Knights Andrews two and nine, Robbinsville seven and three.
I think you know which team I am picking for that.
I would love for Andrews win, but I don't see
that happen. The Singing with the Football Murphy will host

(05:05):
alvamar Murphy eight and two, Albamarle five and six, and
Hayesville travels to East Wait. This says Murphy's on the road.
Maybe they are anyway, They're playing Albamarle. Hazel's on the
road to take on East Wilkes Yellowjackets seven and four.
East Wilkes seven and three. Switching to basketball, now, big

(05:26):
big game here in the area and for the Mountain
Buzz as two of our teams face off. The rivalry
between the Union County Panthers and Towns County Indians continues tonight.
Ladies tip off at six o'clock, with the men to
follow at seven point thirty. Towns County the Men and one.
This will be the first game of the season for

(05:48):
the Panthers. So plenty of high school sports in our
area tonight. Also, there is a basketball tournament men's tournament
happening at Young Harris College today and tomorrow sorrow, and
I will be on the call for at least one
game over there. So plenty to do in the sports world.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Today, the Nashville Predators have settled in Sweden and they'll
take on the Pittsburgh Penguins for the opening game of
the twenty twenty five NHL Global Series at avisil or
a VC There You Go a VC Arena in Stockholm
for one pm puck drop. Today's contest is the first
of two meetings between the Preds and Pens in Sweden.

(07:36):
They'll conclude the Global Series on Sunday before.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Heading back home.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
After arriving on Tuesday and practicing on Wednesday and exploring
stot Colm on Thursday, Preds are now ready to get
back to the game action halfway around the world. They're
relation the opportunity to play NHL games in a place
like Sweden. But they're also well aware of their current
situation in the standings. Yeah, I'm glad they're will aware now.

(08:02):
Prior to Monday's game, the Prads recalled for yo Keem
Kimmel from Milwaukee. Kimmel did not dress against the Rangers.
Willsby returned from injury on Monday night and was paired
with Spencer Statsney. Justin Barron was a healthy scratch. Nashville
practiced on Wednesday, like I said, and then enjoyed yesterday
a day off to explore they did. They'll hold a

(08:23):
morning skate today ahead of the first meeting with the Penguins.
So look, it's a cool thing that they're getting to
do this. But one pm on a Friday, puck drop.
I don't know how many people will be able to
watch that, but anyway, maybe they'll come. If they win

(08:43):
both games in Sweden, maybe they need to become the
Sweden the Swedish Predators. It'll be interesting to see who
the home team of the home crowd there decided to
cheer for. I would say probably the Penguins. I don't
know why. I just think that's that's what they'll do.
We'll see what happens. I'm going to go out on
a limb and say the Preds fall in both games

(09:06):
in this one.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
I really hope I'm wrong. I'm just trying to be honest.

Speaker 7 (09:11):
Here.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
That is a look at your Nashville Predators report, brought
to you by Carl Patterson Flooring in Hayesville. Give them
a call eight two eight three eight nine six two
two eight, or go by and see them. They've been
in business for over thirty five years ten eighty five
North Carolina Highway sixty nine and Hayzeil tell them trash
ain't you and go prids. Ladies and gentlemen, we need

(09:33):
to talk. You know what worries me more than anything
these days. No, not politics, not the economy, not even
my cholesterol. It's social media comments. I'm telling you, I
lay awake at night thinking about them. Forget the four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse. We got Aunt Linda and some
dude named hog Farm eighteen sixteen, spelling every.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Word wrong like it's a competition.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
I'll be scurling through Facebook and seeing news article totally
harmless like dog rescued from river, and think, oh, that's sweet.
And then I make the mistake, the fatal mistake of
opening the comments. First thing, I see no punctuation, none, zero,
just a seventy four word sentence that reads like somebody's
dropped their phone into a blender. You people don't know

(10:17):
the whole story of dogs are spies in the government
uses them to track your every dought. Wake up sheep,
and it has like eighty nine locks. Eighty nine people
said yes, yes, this person is making a very solid point.
Then you've got the grammar. Look, I'm not asking everyone
to sound like Shakespeare here. I'm just asking for one,

(10:38):
one complete sentence, just one. We don't even need a
capital letter. I settled for something close to English, but no,
instead we get stuff like they should have never rescued
that dog because them people is destroying American morality. And there,
and I'm sitting there like trying to diagram the sentence,
like I'm back in seventh grade English, you know, sweating

(11:01):
looking for an escape route. Don't even get me started
on spelling. The pung literally corrects it for you. And
people are still out there writing defiantly instead of definitely,
like they're angry on purpose. I'm defiantly not gonna let
my kid read books.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, I can tell.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
But the points the people try to make, that's what
truly scares me. Half the comments have nothing to do
with the actual post. It could be a recipe video
for banana bread and someone's like, well, if you vote
differently this November, none of us would need bananas, And
suddenly we're fighting over inflation, pets, politics, essential oils and
somebody's cousin who knows things. And the confidence, absolute confidence

(11:41):
with which these people say things that are very clearly
not true. So a guy are you for twenty seven
minutes in the comments that dinosaurs are fake because he's
never personally seen one. I mean, I've never seen the
Eiffel Tower, but I'm kind of leaning toward believing it exists. Listen,
if aliens ever land on Earth, which at this point
is probably over you, they won't need to fire lasers.

(12:02):
They'll just open Facebook comments, shake their head, get back
into spaceship and say nah, they're doomed and they did
it to themselves.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
So yes, social media comments worry me.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Not because they're mean, not because they're loud, but because
as they make me realize something terrifying we may actually
be the before picture for civilization.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
Win or Wick up in the morning.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
It's for city Hall.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Come on in and take a seat, get ready to
take notes as educate you on the ways of this world.
Today we're going to discuss how to interact with law enforcement.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
You're ready, all right, Here we go.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
In the UK, a driver was pulled over when an
officer noticed two of the car's tires were completely bald.
Now they have to be really bad if the cop
can tell that while it's moving, maybe he saw when
it stopped. After pulling behind the stock car. The officer
soon discovered there was a sheep in the back of
the car, and as you can imagine, the cop needed

(13:04):
to know. So when the cops asked why is there
a sheep in the back of the car, the driver
replied simply, well, he's just along for the ride to McDonald's.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
It's not illegal to ride with a sheep in the
back of the car, I don't think, especially if he's
wanting to go to McDonald's.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
There you have it.

Speaker 2 (13:24):

Com today's devotional scripture comes From James chapter One versus
two and. Three count it all joy when you fall
into various, trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces.
Patients have you ever witnessed a fight between your siblings

(20:49):
for no apparent? Reason one will be again pull into other's,
hair pinsion his. Skin little children also like name. Colin
mostly it's done to see if they can get a
reaction out of the other, child and often they. Do
it takes great restraint for the child not to start
a fistfight or a screaming. Match sad to, say it's
not just children who pick on each. Other grown adults

(21:10):
often do the same.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Thing the pain they.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Inflict upon one another goes much. Deeper they seem to
throw daggers instead of spit.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Wads do you know what it.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Was like to be mistreated as a? Coworker ever spread
lies about? You have you ever been the target of
unjust insults and? Ridicule perhaps someone else got the promotion
you clearly. Deserve how Does god want us to respond
when we are treated? Unjustly he wants us to respond with.
Patience being patient means not, retaliating means holding your spirit in.

(21:41):
Check the next time you are. Mistreated look at it
as an opportunity to grow in. Patience Barbara johnson, said
patience is the ability to idle your motor when you
feel like stripping your.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Gears that is today's, Devotion.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
News or. Nonsense got a question for. You what's creepier
than running into a rat in the. Dark, no you're,
wrong it's running into a bat in the. Dark but
what happens when a bat runs into a? Rat have
you ever sat and pondered on this question of? Life,
now thanks to a bunch Of german, scientists we know what.

(22:26):
Happens according TO, npr they are conducting research studying how
bats communicate when they. SWARM i didn't realize bats. Swarm that's.
Frightening and then this happened for the first. Time researchers
captured rats hunting bats by grabbing them from the. Sky,

(22:46):
yup there's a huge rat sitting on a window. SEAL
a bat flies by after a, BUG i, assume and
this rat just reaches out and grabs him uber meal
or not uber door, dash, whatever just grabs.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
IT a rat caught a bat right out of the
air and ate.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
It back to the, story we, thought, oh, well that's
an unlucky, coincidence says mar jem Norse child Canorse. CHILD
i don't know it's Not, smith co author of the
paper and head of evolutionary diversity dynamics at The museum
Of Natural history In.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
BERLIN i bet he's a party, animal don't.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
You but when it, happened but then it happened again and,
again the researchers wondered if this was unique due to
the location of a large city where there are lots of.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Rats so they.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Set up in a cave outside of town and saw
the same scenario go. Down rats showed up in the
cave and snatched bats out of the air in pure.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Darkness.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Huh so we all know that bats u's echo and
sonar and all that stuff to see in the, dark
but how are the rats able to see the?

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Bats, well apparently that's still a.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Mystery there's some speculations that the rats use their whiskers
to sense the. Movement, well that one makes, sense so you,
know to sense their movement flying through the. Air what
the researchers most worried about is the virus that bats
carry transmitting to, rats which is a step closer to human.
Transmission and we all know THAT covid came from. Bat

(24:32):
maybe it came from a bat that was eaten by
a rat that bit a man who.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
KNOWS i. Know there you. Go that's the stuff of
nightmarees rats eating.

Speaker 2 (24:42):

Minded Garyl.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Minded got a letter To Trev earlier we were talking
about the avatar that you could create from your grandma or.
Whoever so really they never die. Digitally got an email
From Becky hope you're doing. Well uh, Well i'll add
absolutely understand the desire to hold on to someone we've,

(36:03):
lost to keep a piece of them alive in some.
FORM i believe using an avatar in this way could
actually hinder the grief and healing process rather than. Help
one of the natural parts of grieving is coming to
terms with the fact that someone is, gone that life,
changes and that we grow in new directions without. Them

(36:24):
if you keep interacting with the digital version of, them
it might prevent true, closure and it might keep you
emotionally tied to the past instead of fully stepping into your.
Future maybe this will mate for any interesting discussing discussion
on the, show And i'd love to hear what you.
Think thanks for airing these, ideas for getting us to
think and forgetting us to. Think you're, Welcome, becky thank

(36:46):
you for reaching. OUT i think you're onto. SOMETHING i
think if you just keep these avatars. Around look this
week we had a story about a woman marrying HER ai. Boyfriend,
Right i'm not saying and you're going to make your,
grandma BUT i am saying that people's mental health is
already kind of, fragile and when you have, this who

(37:09):
knows what would. Happen SO i think you make excellent,
points and it would keep you from the grieving, process
completing and Getting you, know you never get over a,
loss but you do move on and come to terms with.
It if you can just pull grandma up at any,
time how do you come to terms with her.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Loss it's like your face time in her all the.
Time so valid, Points, becky and thanks for.

news or non Since american unhappiness has continued to rise
for decades and has accelerated in recent. Years what's the
cause behind that trend and what can be done to stop? It,

some apocalyptic event that's happening that, day and then when
it doesn't happen or it's not as bad as we,
