What Seth Learned on the Monsterweb
10:50 – Seth skimmed an article from Nate Anderson on the website ARS Technica, “Meet the men who spy on women through their webcams.” They’re using the “Remote Administration Tools,” (RATs), and are being called “ratters.” 46:01 – Seth read FireRescue1.com, and learned that in the last couple years firehouses have been phasing out the iconic brass firepole and replacing them with plastic looping slides, steel playground slides or staircases. They said no new firehouses built will have a pole, and if it’s being modded in any way, they will be pulled out. 56:44 – The Alabama tourism website is declaring it “The Year of Alabama Food.” Voting has begun. They’re doing the Alabama BBQ Bracket Quest for the Best, featuring the 32 best BBQ places in Alabama and they’re going to whittle it down to 1.
UYD Stories
3:45 – Jonathan got served the other night, but not in a dance-off. He received legal documents from some past issues. A man acting like he was a delivery guy holding a package served him at his front door. Jonathan thinks that would be a fun job to have, but if he did it he would hang out and talk it out with the people he served. 6:16 – Seth got a new television. It’s so new, that it’s 3D. It’s very tech-forward for Seth. Seth also has an Apple TV hooked up to it. 20:28 – Seth says Jonathan had the luxury of his father abstaining from luxury. Jonathan admits it may have been a luxury because he was home and more present and loving than he may have been if he were not sober. It also instilled in Jonathan a fear – but not necessarily a well-understood one – of alcohol. 21:44 – Seth had the opposite interaction with alcohol, where he grew up in bars. 23:35 – Jonathan did a popper the other night. He was at a club. 30:20 – Jonathan had some good early-morning J.O. kids’ seshes from watching the beautiful women of wrestling. 30:40 – Jonathan ate a Cool Ranch Taco Loco for the first time last night. He liked it better than the other ones, even though he was almost turned off by the disgusting beef inside of it. 1:01:25 – Jonathan lost some money at a casino in New Orleans. Jonathan said the city looks like shit but the people are the best. He ate a praline crème brulee at K-Paul’s which was one of the best things he’s ever consumed. Jonathan’s dad was given a “cut the line” card for Mother’s Restaurant that he owns for life, and was so stoked to receive it.
UYD News
3:35 – March is National Foot Health Month. 7:57 – In Sacramento, corrections officials are expressing concern over a rise in paroled sex offenders who are disabling their GPS tracking devices. 15:51 – Seth sees a lot of “World Class Driving” in Las Vegas where you can drive Ferraris and other exotic sports cars on closed courses, but starting April 1 they are unveiling the American Muscle Car Driving Experience. 24:40 – The Moonshine Festival will be held in New Straitsville in Perry County, Ohio, on Main Street, May 23-27. 32:15 – Temporary billboards placed on the University of Cincinnati’s campus are causing controversy among student. Twelve billboard-sized photos of vaginas will be placed outside McMicken Hall by the UC LGBTQ Alliance and UC Feminists. The student groups say the “Re-Envisioning the Female Body Project” is their way of countering an abortion protest that happened on campus last year. The group says The Genocide Project compared abortion and a woman’s choice to the Holocaust. “We’re using shock as a tactic to start a conversation,” said Kate Elliott, who helped organize the project. “Our hope for this project is to combat social inequalities and abuses through the use of our vaginas as a form of collective resistance to oppression and to claim our positions as individuals with unique experiences, perceptions and needs.” 45:26 – A high school teacher said that the state of Missouri should add bass fishing as a high school sport. Jim Huson, a teacher at Republic High School, said a proposal to add the sport will be on the spring ballot for high school administrators. Kentucky and Illinois are two states that already have it. 49:20 – Similar to Floridian peeds who are forced to congregate under a bridge to comply with local laws (Episode 162, 30:29), the city of LA is pulling a similar move. There is an apartment complex somewhere outside of LA that has basically become peed central (Episode 087, 25:32). The city made an ordinance where they’re building a park that’s about the size of a bathroom where sex offenders can congregate. 51:26 – Two beer companies, Anheuser Busch InBev and SAB Miller, now own 210 brands of beers in 42 different countries – 18 in the United States alone.
Awesome Studies
19:28 – USA Today Snapshots: How Often Parents Talk to their Kids About Alcohol. This was from a Century Council Survey of about 500 parents with kids ages 10-18. 10% - never; 12% - 1 time; 32% - 2-3 times; 46% - 4 or more times. 34:58 – The latest survey of more than 2,000 people in the U.S. by the travel review site TripAdvisor.com found that the biggest annoyance and most complaints from airline travel was attributed to uncomfortable seats with no legroom. 42:02 – In the latest journal Sex Roles, a trio of psychologists analyzed the advertising images in a slate of magazines targeted at men. From Penthouse to Field and Stream, they counted up the ads that depict men as violent, calloused, tough, dangerous and sexually aggressive, then indexed them with the magazine’s target demographics. Hyper-masculine images, the researchers found, are more likely to be sold to adolescents who find higher “peer-group support” for manly man behaviors. They are also sold to working-class men who are “embedded in enduring social and economic structures in which they experience powerlessness and lack of access to resources like political power, social respect and wealth, and thus turn to more widely accessible measures of masculine worth like physical strength and aggression.” The magazines pushing this image most aggressively are Playboy and Game Informer, whose ads play on hyper-masculine tropes about 95% of the time. 52:53 – When you let go of a helium balloon and it floats away in Tucson, Arizona, where does it end up? Erin Zylstra, a University of Arizona biologist, has a pretty good idea after taking the first-ever inventory of balloon waste in federal parklands surrounding the city. Shriveled latex in rainbow colors is ubiquitous in the Rincon and Tucscon mountain sections of the Saguaro National Park, where the air-filled orbs often land due to local wind patterns. Some hang from trees, others are in various states of decomposition – many half-melted onto the rocks like rubberized lichens. To her amazement, balloons greatly outnumbered desert tortoises and Western diamond rattlesnakes in the 120 square kilometers – which is roughly 75 miles of parkland – that she studies. In one square kilometer of land, it had an estimated density of 62 balloons, 30 tortoises, 26 rattlers and 29 plastic bags. 54:37 – Hugging someone can help reduce stress, fear and anxiety, and has a lowering effect on blood pressure, promotes well-being and promotes memory performance. These positive effects are caused by the secretion of the pepcide oxytocin, but only when we are hugged by someone we know very well. Hugging strangers can have the opposite effect. Oxytocin, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland, is primarily known for increasing bonding, social behavior and closeness between parents, children and couples. Increased oxytocin levels have been found, for example, in partners in functional relationships. In women, it is also produced during childbirth process and during breastfeeding in order to increase the mother’s bond with the baby.
Letters to the Editor
50:03 – Dear Amy / Jonathan: “I’m the grandmother of three beautiful children, ages 4, 6 and 10, whom I live with and help raise. Their mother (my daughter) has been involved in six relationships over the past three years with basically just two or three weeks in between them. I am wondering if it is a good idea for her to have these men sleeping in her bed every night, visible to the kids. I’m also wondering if it’s OK for the kids to sleep with her and the men.”
