Laughs Over Lattes and Prime Picks

I need a break from all the gloom and doom , the horribleness , the devastation , the sadness , the evilness that people do to each other and that they do to children . I've seen too many stories about children . I can't take it . So we're going easy today . But here's what happened . I decided I ordered my Starbucks from home on the app .

I even waited a few minutes before I left to give him extra time to make it , because I had a feeling Esteban was not going to be working . I got to see him two or three days in a row this morning , so I figured he'd be off today . And sure enough , I was right . So I'm sitting there , I pull up , go up to the drive-thru .

The voice comes over the intercom says I'll be with you in a moment . I could tell by the voice . I knew the voice . I knew the voice . It was the slow girls working today and there was already a car at the window ahead of me and I said , oh boy , oh boy . So I'm sitting there and I'm pull around and I'm getting ill .

You know , in the South , in the South we call getting angry or steamed or hot under the collar , we call it getting it getting ill . You know , even the Southerners , when we get mad , we have to make it sound nice or softer , all right . So I'm sitting there in the car behind the other car and I'm like , oh boy , you know't get here in time .

Blah , blah , blah , I'm getting hot , I'm getting mad . Finally the car pulls forward and she , the car in front of me leaves . And then I'm starting to pull up and the girl has the , has my Starbucks ready for me and she holds it out the window and it's in a bigger cup than I ordered . You know they , they're not allowed to .

I normally I order the venti , that's the large , but there's another one bigger than that one , but they're not allowed to sell the iced coffee in that bigger one . And I said , oh , this one's bigger than what I've ordered . And she said , yeah , I couldn't find the regular venti cup that it's supposed to come in . I said , said , oh , I like the big ones .

She gave me a side eye and I gave her a side eye . Oh my gosh , I can't believe I said that . Luckily she let it go and she said , um , and she just kind of whispered to me don't tell anybody that I gave , put that in that cup . We're not allowed to do that .

I'm like , okay , here I am on my podcast telling everybody , but you know , you don't know which one it is . It was all good , it ended up good , it ended up good , all right . Here we go with the topics this morning . Happy friday , we have Happy Friday , we have a story . Let me go to my X feed . Let's start with Cheetos .

Food dye turns mice transparent and scientists say there's a simple explanation . This is from the New York Post . However , they actually got this story from the Washington Post , which you need a damn subscription to read . I do not have . Therefore , we are reading from the New York Post . This is no puff piece , is how it starts . Come on .

Researchers have uncovered the fact that a popular food dye used in Cheetos can turn mice's skin completely transparent , making their organs visible . This is disgusting , and it's called tartrazine . The yellowing agent for the dangerously cheesy snack was tested on the stomachs and heads of mice with surprising results . What do you mean ?

In the heads of mice , researchers were even able to see muscle pulsations and blood vessels in their brains . The Wall Street Journal reported Okay , it's the Journal . How does this ultimate magic trick work ? It has to do with how cells are comprised of membranes that hold fats in a watery style . The outlet stated that I still have no idea what that means .

The fats and water manage light differently . In this case , when the dye is applied , it causes light to pass through when it hits their cells , thus ta the transparent opacity of invisible mice skin . I still don't understand how this works , but I'm not a scientist . Maybe you know how it works , I don't .

If you can explain it to me in simpler terms , please do so . Mr Shons , I know you can . It was one of those moments where you go that is both really clever and really simple . Researchers Christopher Rowlands , who reviewed the new study in Science , told WSJ .

Rest assured , though , it ain't easy for just anyone to catch a glimpse of your organs the next time you snack up for Sunday football . The doses found in the popular puff are substantially lower . Popular puff are substantially lower . The coloring agent is better known by its fda certified name fdnc yellow number five .

It is found in small amounts of some popular snacks and drinks . I wouldn't worry about making my belly or my gut transparent by eating a bag of doritos , said researcher researcher gusong hung . But the day is the but , the day could be coming . Researchers said the team was fully transparent about their plans to test the dye on humans next .

Oh , larger doses of dye can make searching veins for blood draw easier . Oh , I like that . Now I'll do some cheetos for that . They always have a hard time finding my veins . I normally try to drink a gob of water before the night before . There are the couple hours before I go in . It seems that helps .

According to Hong , who noted , the human skin is ten times thicker than that of lab mice . Well , there you go . Now you right next up . Three-year-old hero rescue dog saves elderly owner who spent hours calling for help in the woods . Again from the New York Post . All right , and this starts off . This dog is a super star , super paw star , get it .

A loyal washington rescue dog named gita saved her elderly owner's life by leading authorities to his location hours after he severely injured himself falling in the woods .

The heroic pup sprang into action on september 25th and was spotted sitting in the roadway of a remote wooded area in stevens county by a deputy who attempted to get Jeta into his vehicle , to no avail . The deputy searched the surrounding area for the dog's owner but , sensing something was wrong , returned to find Jeta in the middle of the road .

The deputy attempted to move Jeta off the road , but she took off up a lightly traveled unmarked roadway , leading him to her elderly owner , who was laying on the ground calling for help for a short distance from a nearby cabin . According to the sheriff's office , the 84 year old why are you in a remote location at 84 years old ?

Oh , had fallen , injured his leg and faced faced serious consequences if he wasn't found , authorities said , adding that the man who had hurt himself three hours prior also had other medical conditions that required treatment . Please , if you're 80-something years old , do not go out to a remote location by yourself .

Oh , I know he had the dog with him , but still , luckily , there was a deputy that was driving by . Wow , well , that's a feel-good story , okay , I think . So Next up , hopefully this is going to be some helpful tips for you .

Being a Prime member allows you to have access to unlimited photo storage with Amazon Photos . Now , I don't know if you want to trust Amazon with your photos , but obviously , if you're not doing anything nefarious , I think it'll be fine , unless you just don't want access .

Then you have Prime Visa and rx pass , though the rx means you're the amazon pharmacy . That's a lot . I think that's pretty good . I hope that was helpful .
