Today's show is brought to you by new 7-up Zero Sugar. Now with more sugar than ever. Oh, no wonder why I look so fat. K-H-J Los Angeles! Portions of the day is programming are reproduced by means of electrical transcriptions or tape recording. You're listening to the radio! The radio program you're currently listening to is both Lowbrow and Esoteric at the same time. It's just two guys making out, relax! The following program is brought to you in living color on NBC. So, another Jack Lay salmon and anything for you. Wait, what is Jack Grace? It's our special sauce that we put on the salmon. It's molasses and honey and jack Daniels. It has alcohol in it? No, no, he doesn't drink. Oh, don't worry. The alcohol cooks down with the fish. But what if you get the sauce on the side and it isn't cooked with the fish? That would explain why we have so many drunk kids here. Unfortunately, something horrible happened. I don't think it's anybody's fault. It's just one of those things.

It's an accident for a reason. That is so stupid. Getting drunk in the morning. Who are you? Kathy Lee Giveth? We may not hook up with women, but we really understand women. Is it Friday yet? That's part of my job here at SOS to tell you what day of the week it is. My favorite day of the week is Friday. What day is today? Friday. You know what that means? I want to be a DJ. You do? Woo! Let's go to work. The boss is Friday. Of course. It's a freaking Friday. It is Friday. Everybody, I've got big plans for the weekend. A fantastic show. Let's get to it. Show time. Yeah, it is the mic show. So darn happy you could join us right here right now on Radio 434, the Radio 434 apps and Radio434.com. We're also on your Alexa. Yeah. How does that work? You just say Alexa play Radio 434. And she will. And unless she's an older model Alexa and then you have to enable the skill.

You just say Alexa enable the Radio 434 skill. You get our podcast on Alexa. You just say Alexa play the mic show VA podcast. And she will. So we do the live show between 8 ish and 11th. 11th ish Monday through Friday. And that's on Radio 434. And then we repack all those show segments and put them together into a full length daily podcast. Usually drops around noon or so and you can find that wherever you get your podcasts, Apple Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, RSS.com, wherever. But we really encourage you to get our brand new app. It's at the App Store in Google Play. It's a free download. And we never charge a subscription fee or anything like that. So just get the new app because we have our live feature channel which is Radio 434. We've got a button on the app that you can access the podcasts, all the podcasts.

And we've got a button on the app that you can access our videos. And not just our show videos. But we also produce a car show that's called Test Drive Interviews. And we've got those. Brand new one just dropped yesterday. We'll have another one dropping today. So Test Drive interviews. How many do we have at this point? I believe we have, I believe we have, this will be episode 96. We'll be dropping today. And then we've got episode 97 in, well wait a minute. Yeah, episode 97 we're recording in this month next week. Episode 98 will be recorded in November. Episode 99 will be recorded at the beginning of December with Santa Claus. And that's usually our annual Christmas edition of Test Drive with Santa Claus. So that means, episode 100 of Test Drive Interviews is in January.

100 episodes. Wow. Okay. Well, okay. So, yeah, I get it because we are on episode 180, I believe, just this year alone of season 26 of the mic show. But that's because we do a daily show. And we produce it, you know, as a morning show and we produce it on the fly. Test Drive Interviews is like, that's a lot of camera angles and B-roll and a lot of editing that we do and all that. So that usually, we really can only, I mean, we could probably produce, you know, maybe two a month or three a month if we had the budget for it. But right now we only have the budget to produce one a month. So, and that's fine. I'm happy with one a month. Well, the business of the week videos, that was also a lot of camera angles and a lot of editing.

And, you know, it took quite a bit of time, but we produced one of those every week. I know. Okay. A little maybe, if I'll tell you what, if Beacon Credit Union or Bank of the James or somebody like that wants to increase their commercial business awareness and wants to send along a representative from their commercial lending department to meet 40-some business owners that we will have a connection with if we record these business of the week segments. Well, then hit me up. Mike at Radio434.com will be happy to bring back business of the week. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, anyway, it's Friday. Why are we doing all this heavy thinking? It's, it's Friday. Well, I mean, it's not heavy thinking. When you, when you really think about it, you know, this gives us the opportunity to maybe put some feelers out there and, and see if we can attract some more customers. That would be nice.

It would be very nice. Um, okay, so what are we doing on today's program? Well, of course, we have your five random facts. So we get smart. We've got, I said, we get smart. We've got your, we got your stupid criminals in. Dot news. So we get dumb. I said we get dumb. No. Yep. But, but because it's Friday, we have, we have a weekly roundup of science news. It's called nerd news. This weekend science, just science. Don't be afraid. Or with all the AI stuff, be very afraid. I don't know. Anyway, we also have Darious joining us from Lynchburg Community Market. Darious is going to be letting us know what's going on at the market this weekend. We have shrimp fest. I'm actually going to be the MC of shrimp fest. It's at the, it's at the Boonsboro Roarton Club.

And if you, I don't know if they're sold out yet. I don't. It's with the Kiwanis. So if you hit up Lynchburg Kiwanis to find out if they still have tickets, you may want to grab some tickets and join us because, number one, it's all you can eat shrimp. Wait, it's all you can eat shrimp. It is the, it is the freshest shrimp. They literally drive down to North Carolina. Like overnight. And then they load up all this fresh shrimp in North Carolina. First thing in the morning. And then they, it's all packed in ice and coolers. And they drive it up to Lynchburg. Same day and boom that afternoon. They, they, they, they have it ready for you. So it's a peel and eat shrimp. It's all you can eat shrimp plus all the sides, the grits and everything. It's a benefit for the Lynchburg Kiwanis.

And they do such great work. So hit them up on their website. And we'll even link that up if you, if you can still buy tickets. So I'm going to be the MC for that. Tomorrow Saturday in the in the later afternoon for Kauanna Shrimp Fest. And that is at the Boomsboro Roarton Club this year. All right. What else? What else? Oh, yeah, we told you, we told you about the, you know, the nerd news. We told you about Darius joining us from Lynchburg Community Market on the Saturday Market. Last night I had, I've still, I've had the windows open. Yeah, I know. I got the new AC unit and literally two days later after I had the brand new AC unit. After I had been sweating, my butt shakes off. Well, I still have some back there. But after I was just sweating profusely for weeks and weeks and weeks waiting for this AC unit to get installed.

Yeah, the weather turned and it was so nice. Just so nice. Yeah. Anyway, so I've had the windows open this whole time. And I haven't, I haven't messed with the, with the AC unit. Haven't kicked on the AC at all. I do, I did find. And I don't know. I was this many years old when I, when I found out, when I figured out. Maybe this is a new feature on these, on these new, on these new fancy thermostats. Because I got a, I got a brand new fancy touch screen thermostat. I've never had that before, by the way. So I've got this brand new fancy when they installed the new AC unit and then put the, put the new AC unit up on the roof that they had to get a crane to lift up there. And then the air handler and everything. I've got this, I've got this touchscreen thermostat that, I'm rich. You're not. Oh, that, that it has, it has, it has a fan mode that just circulates the air.

It doesn't kick on the compressor, it doesn't kick on the heat. It just circulates the air. I don't know, that, I mean, yeah, the fan on, but it's not fan on. It's fan circulates. So it doesn't stay on the whole time. It, it, it just, it comes on, it moves the air around, it shuts off. And then it comes on again, moves the air around, it shuts off. But having the windows open was, it has been really, really, really nice. And last night, I don't know, I don't know where the, if, if, if it was down at water dog, they've got the fire pits going. And I was smelling that. Or if there was somebody down, you know, camping at the river. And I was smelling that. But it, I had, I had the, the, the whole fire pit smell was coming into the house. And it was, I just absolutely loved it. It, you know, fall, it's one of those fall smells that you, that you always remember.

And, and, and combine that with, if you're, if you're driving up, Bedford Ave or Holland, is a Holland's mill, you're driving up there. And, and the, and, and the bakery is cranking out stuff. You, I've smelled the bakery all the way down a church street. I, it's such a great smell. Well, we're going to talk about good smelling cities and bad smelling cities. All right. And, and, and, okay. So when you talk about the smell of cities, typically you're thinking of, well, like in New York. Okay. New York. And not every, no, I don't, I don't want to say every part of it. But, okay. If you're in the more touristy areas and time square in the more congested areas, it smells like weed and urine. It just does.

And, and it's just one of those things that you just have to deal with. If you're in an area that has like a harbor or or or something like that. If you're if you're in Baltimore or Boston or something, you know, or if you're, you know, down on the down the beach, you always have that beach smell. No, no, New Jersey has some dicey, dicey places. But, especially, especially around the water or the rivers or the, you know, the, the shore, they've got a couple stinky spots. But, so we're going to talk about the best smelling cities in America. Okay. That's the headline. Best smelling cities in America. We've got the top 10. Now they, they only surveyed 30 cities. Okay. Overall, they surveyed 30 of the biggest cities. So we'll, we'll delve into that. We've got the top 10. But I think, I think we can share, we'll share like a couple others. And then we'll share the ones from the bottom.

Out of the out of the top 30. And of course, we did a top list for this. Top signs, your city smells. Okay. That's that's all on the way.

The mic show on Radio 434. Radio 434. Now it's time for another episode of A Few Seconds Inside a Man's Head. Oh, Bill's car always stinks. I can't do this carpool anymore. Bill's a bigger pig than I am. And that was another episode of A Few Seconds Inside a Man's Head. Yeah, it is. It's the mic show. So should we have gone with that one? Because we're going to be talking about the best smelling and worst smelling cities. So I was searching the archives and that was about the closest thing. Well, I mean, I actually didn't actually didn't type in best smelling or worst smelling cities here about how about worst smelling, not selling, smelling cities. Okay, let's see. No items found. Okay, so we didn't we didn't have anything

better than that. But I did have this. I did have this. If you, let's say, hey guys, if you're if your city smells, maybe you might want to try a clone or no, that doesn't work. Maybe you might want to hear this is this is something this is here. Get rid of that. Just get rid of that. It's something something the smells. There are there are many celebrity fragrances out there, but there's only one that truly smells like the celebrity whose name is on the spray can. You may never have his movie star looks or capture his laid back vibe, but now you can have his smell introducing Maconna Spray. The first era saw that captures the unmistakable set of Matthew McConaughey. Thanks to a unique blend of weed, sweat, jerky, grime, hickory, patrulley, and good old-fashioned natural bio. McConaughey will leave that special someone in your life saying,

holy s***, what the f*** is that stench? McConaughey. Were you just carrying an animal carcass? Available wherever fine colognes are sold. When was your last shower? November? Yeah, it's been well. All right, so new data. When people talk about the smell of cities, it's usually not a compliment. We said that. In fact, I've never heard someone gush over how incredible city of smelled. Except for last night and I mentioned this in the show open. I had my windows open and either the fire pits down at water dog or somebody was camping on the river banks and there was this there was this whole fire pit smell that was happening and it was that was nice. And then I was up the street and I literally could smell the bakery that's up on the corner of Bedford Ave and Hollands Mill. Yeah, I mean, so I had this fresh baked bread and fire pit kind of

thing going. So I think I think our city, our town, smells pretty darn good sometimes, most of the time. Anyway, so here, let's get back to the story. New research has ranked the best smelling cities and they're considering factors like local candle stores, okay, bakeries, perfumeries, florists, and what they should be ranking it on overall cleanliness. Other factors included air quality, that's a good one. Garbage disposal satisfaction, like did they clean up after the place, and an abundance of green spaces. So they didn't specifically deduct points for like New York, the overwhelming smell of pee and weed on the sidewalks. So anyway, in the end, here are the top 10. I'm going to do it from the bottom up. That's the way I like to do it.

Number 10, Las Vegas. And these were bigger cities. They only ranked 30. So they ranked the top 30 bigger cities based on these factors. Number 10 was Las Vegas. Number 9, number 9 is Detroit. I've never been there. Baltimore. Number 8, yeah, you got a lot of harbor stuff going on and Denver. Number 7, Portland, Oregon. Number 6, Philadelphia. We got a story, by the way, from Philadelphia about, well, I think we're going to put it in stupid criminals. Yeah, somebody was assaulted in Philadelphia with a cheese steak. Somebody threw a cheese steak at somebody in Philadelphia. Go figure. Seattle. Number 4, best smelling city, San Francisco. Number 3, Washington, DC. Really? Number 2, Boston.

I guess I cleaned up that harbor pretty good. Boston, according to this, is the best smelling city. In the US, Chicago is number 11. New York City. If you can believe it, number 13 on the list. How do they rank it again? Local candle stores, bakeries, perfumeries, florists, cleanliness, air quality, garbage disposal, satisfaction, abundance of green spaces? Did they actually walk around and just sniff? Anyway, overall, they considered these 30 cities. And Jacksonville, Florida, was the worst smelling. I think I mean, you can't even transpel, I wouldn't go that far. Followed by Oklahoma City, San Antonio, El Paso, Texas, and Memphis. I guess the aroma of barbecue wasn't a considering factor because Louisville was the sixth worst smelling, followed by Houston,

Nashville, Phoenix, and Indianapolis. And with that, and I did, I brought up the full ranking and like the, I mean, Baltimore was number 10. The closest to us would be Charlotte at number 20. And here, let me, I'm trying to get this thing to scroll down. Yeah, so that's, that'd be the closest to us. Anyway, get rid of that graphic. So that brings us to our top list with baston. Being listed as the best smelling city in the US in Jacksonville, the worst, Jacksonville locals already knew that since they can relate to so many things on today's list. It's our top list today. Top signs, your city smells. We're just gonna, just gonna dig them off. Okay, here we go. Number one, the key to your, the key, oh, take two. Take three. The key that you take four.

They're flying direct from Lynchburg to Washington, Dallas, International Airport, the number two smelling, best smelling city. They're also flying to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, the number 11 best smelling city, as well as Charlotte. I got rid of the graphic. Was it number 20? It was number 20, wasn't it? I don't know what you say. I got to bring it up, bring it up again. Yep, Charlotte, number 20, the 20 best smelling city. So you're doing pretty well.

that sperm ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex I will may have a tougher time navigating in space like conditions they did an experiment they didn't experiment nice beaver wow thank you yeah I just had it stuck anyway that simulated weightlessness and found that the spermis were not as successful traveling through a narrow channel a former pilot named Andy Green was the man who who sperm was known he wasn't a former pilot named Andy Green was the man who set the world land speed record nearly three decades ago when he traveled over 763 miles per hour in a jet car that's faster than the speed of sound it was a jet car yeah now Andy is back but this time he set a new land speed record with a hydrogen powered vehicle he got up to 406 miles per hour

at the Bonneville salt flats in Utah and I said the Bonneville salt flats a new study found that if humans switched to genetically modified milk they can make any transplants maybe I don't know it would dramatically reduce the amount of land needed for dairy production uh it's a process called precision fermentation and it uses it uses yeast to create the same milk proteins found in cow's milk but without having to raise cows in recent study from the imperial college in in London there they are found that replacing conventional milk with lab produced dairy proteins could use up to 96% less land the thing the the thing that I I find more disturbing and I might be completely wrong but the lab produced dairy proteins hmm that doesn't sound as good as you know and I wonder wonder what our dairy farmers would
