The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (5.29) Friday is here, and Conway is ready to take the edge off! The crew kicks things off with weekend buzz talk, student love for Fridays, and the universal mission of getting through the week and into relaxation mode. But nothing kills a good buzz faster than the wrong snack — especially when Trader Joe’s candy starts giving people the runs. That’s right, the crew gets into the ultimate Friday night disaster: trying to feel loose and happy, only to have candy turn your weekend into a bathroom sprint. The show also dives into the wild fact that 60 Minutes has been on the air for 57 years, Conway hosting the massive OC Business Awards, and a possible medical breakthrough involving a new gene-editing cholesterol drug that could change how high cholesterol is treated. Then things get weird with the internet’s latest obsession: “hot rodent men.” From Timothée Chalamet-style features to Hollywood’s strangest beauty trend, the crew breaks down why rat-like is somehow now attractive. Conway also admits he likes gambling on new medicine, comparing it to carnival rides, Vegas casinos, Whiskey Pete’s, and his love for Primm Casino. Plus, he pitches a genius idea for reviving Primm with “The Oasis.” Later, the show turns serious with a Riverside apartment complex fire that displaced around 150 people, including UC Riverside students forced out during finals. And somehow, it all circles back to viral fire interviews, Michelle Dobney’s unforgettable “Not today!” moment, Elvis Presley’s legendary bathroom demise, and a Friday night reminder: protect your buzz, choose your candy wisely.

A cat jumps on the stove to get leftovers, accidentally turns a burner, and starts a kitchen fire. The homeowner has heard of an exclusion that applies to damage caused by animals owned or kept by an insured, and is concerned that the fire will not be covered. Exactly how mad should the homeowner be with their cat? (And how long can they stay mad at that face?) Notable Timestamps [ 00:00 ] - A kitchen fire caused by a pet can initially alarm insureds who may believe the animal exclusion automatically bars coverage for any damage involving their cat or dog. [ 00:53 ] - The discussion highlights how insureds may hesitate to disclose that a pet caused the loss because they fear the claim will be denied under the policy language. [ 03:39 ] - Investigating unusual fire losses often requires origin-and-cause experts, especially when evidence suggests a stove burner was turned on without any appliance malfunction. [ 05:07 ] - The key distinction is that animal-caused property damage itself may be excluded, while the resulting fire can still qualify as a covered peril under the policy. [ 05:50 ] - Claims involving uncommon exclusions remind adjusters to carefully read the actual policy wording instead of relying on assumptions about what is or is not covered. [ 06:12 ] - Ordinary pet damage like chewing, scratching, or staining is different from a sudden accidental event such as a kitchen fire. [ 07:24 ] - Adjusters generally approach claims by looking for coverage where it exists. [ 08:45 ] - Animal exclusions are often intended to address ongoing maintenance-type damage rather than fortuitous accidental losses. [ 10:10 ] - While some courts have interpreted animal exclusions broadly, the cited cases involved extreme situations with dozens of pets causing extensive property damage. [ 11:54 ] - Maintaining good communication and rapport with insureds can help overcome misconceptions about coverage and encourage honest discussion during the investigation.

In this episode, we host Dr Giulia Gallo to explore hantavirus, the recent MV Hondius cruise ship outbreak, and why a rare but serious infectious disease can generate global headlines without necessarily becoming a pandemic-style threat. Drawing on her work in molecular virology, viral-host interactions and viral glycoproteins at The Pirbright Institute, Dr Gallo explains what hantaviruses are, why they are not new, how they are carried by rodents, and why different hantaviruses cause different disease patterns in different parts of the world.  We discuss the difference between Old World and New World hantaviruses, why Andes virus is unusual because of its capacity for limited human-to-human transmission, and what public-health officials mean when they describe that transmission as “limited”. Dr Gallo explains why hantavirus can be extremely severe for an infected individual while still presenting a low risk to the wider population, and why the difference between individual severity and population-level transmissibility is so important for public understanding. The conversation also examines the MV Hondius outbreak, including the possible land-based exposure in Argentina, the role of the cruise ship as a confined environment, and why enclosed spaces, close contact, limited airflow and international travel can make outbreak response more complex. Dr Gallo also takes us into the science of viral glycoproteins: the proteins on the outside of viral particles that help viruses enter host cells. She explains why viral entry matters, how it shapes infection, and why studying these mechanisms helps scientists understand how viruses move between animals and humans.Dr Giulia Gallo is a postdoctoral scientist in the Viral Glycoproteins Group at The Pirbright Institute. Her work sits at the intersection of molecular virology, viral-host interactions, viral entry, immune responses and zoonotic spillover. Her research has included work on orthohantaviruses and how viral proteins interact with human immune responses, making her especially well placed to explain hantavirus biology, viral transmission and the scientific uncertainty surrounding rare but serious infectious diseases. Her expert commentary on the hantavirus outbreak has featured on Sky News, BBC World News, Channel 4 News, Associated Press and other national and international media.The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

Well, Spurs take Game 1 in 2OT, so perhaps they have more poise then any of us gave them credit for before the playoffs started. Wemby gets mad and plays accordingly. Castle needs a better handle on the ball, but it all works out in the end when you have someone like Wemby who just hates everybody on the court not wearing a Spurs Jersey. Oh yeah, and congrats to Aaron Rai.

Welcome back to the Peskies Pest Control Podcast, where we look beyond the common household nuisance to discuss the serious health risks associated with local wildlife. In this episode, Travis dives into the recent headlines surrounding the MV Hondius cruise ship outbreak to explore the realities of Hantavirus—a severe respiratory disease with a staggering 40% mortality rate. While the news may be focused on the Atlantic, the danger actually begins on land with the rodents that enter our homes and workplaces. Join us as we discuss how professional exclusion and monitoring are your family’s best defense against these invisible pathogens. Podcast Transcript:Host: Hey everyone and welcome back to another episode of the Peskies Pest Control Podcast. So today we don’t necessarily want to discuss the nuisance side of pests, but we want to talk a little bit about the dangerous side of pests. So anyone who has been on social media, watched the news lately, you probably seen headlines referring to the MV Hondius. If you’re not familiar with that, it is a cruise ship that was out in the Atlantic Ocean and is dealing with a now deadly outbreak of what is known as Hantavirus. So three people have died, there's quite a few more being monitored around the world. CDC says they’re on high alert and it just sounds like something out of a horror movie, right? Or a suspense movie of some sort. You got a Hantavirus outbreak out in the middle of the ocean, but the truth is this is not a cruise ship problem, this is not an ocean problem. This is a rodent problem. Very often it starts on land, even in some of the places where you live and you work.What is Hantavirus?Host: So you may ask yourself, what exactly is Hantavirus? In short, it is a severe respiratory disease. So, you know, we have different strains of Hantavirus, but you know, the scary part is is that it has a mortality rate of nearly 40%. So compare that to the flu or even COVID-19 and you realize, you know, how potentially serious this can be. So, you know, you may be wondering how do you get Hantavirus? Well, you don’t get bitten by a mouse or a rat to get sick from this virus. It’s actually a lot easier than that and you don’t even have to contact a live rodent to get it. But the virus is carried by rodents, some mice, some rats, and they usually shed or disperse the virus when they urinate or when they defecate or even from their saliva. So you can get it from urine, their droppings, their spit. And when their droppings dry out and you sweep them up or you vacuum them or you clean them up, especially in large rodent infestations, the virus almost becomes aerosolized, you know, floating around in the air and then you breathe it in and you are at risk for Hantavirus in that moment or at that time.The MV Hondius ConnectionHost: So realistically, you know, how did this happen on a cruise ship? Well, the outbreak, you know, we can speculate all we want to but it likely started before the passengers were even on the boat. You know, there are reports that the first victims may have been exposed while birdwatching or visiting remote areas in Argentina. But two things to note here. The virus has quite a long incubation period, so somewhere in the upwards of 8 weeks. So you might not even really know that you’re sick until way after you’ve already been exposed. And you could see where somebody maybe got on the cruise ship having already been exposed to this virus. And it only takes one small interaction with an infested area, you know, to set this off. So on the ship, because it was a certain specific strain, it began to spread through close contact between the guests on the ship. And this is why we say, you know, that pest control isn’t just about property itself. Yeah, we love protecting your property from insects and from rodents and wildlife, but the big picture of pest control really is about public health.Bringing it Home – Why Pest Control MattersHost: So I know what you’re thinking now, it’s like, well, I’m not on a cruise ship in the Atlantic, or I’m not going to get on a cruise ship in the Atlantic. But here’s the unfortunate reality: every time that a rodent, a mouse or a rat enters your crawlspace, your attic, your kitchen pantry, they are bringing what is on the outside and bringing it in. So they’re not just looking for your food, they’re leaving behind a biological footprint that can in the long run affect you, your pets, your children. In Peskies, we don’t just kill bugs. You know, we create barriers between you and your family and your pets and we create the barriers between that group and these types of groups, the insects, the rodents, the wildlife, that sort of thing. So for rodents specifically, exclusion is extremely important and when I say exclusion, I mean sealing off the entry points so that they cannot get in in the first place. And then on top of that, sanitization is extremely important. If you find droppings, it may not be the best idea to sweep them up. It might be a better idea to call a professional who knows how to disinfect, who has the appropriate personal protective equipment or PPE to deal with that type of issue just to protect you and your family from aerosolizing those those types of diseases. And then of course after exclusion and sanitization, monitoring is important. Rodents didn’t advance as long and as far as they have without being experts at hiding. So professional monitoring and inspection finds them before it becomes this massive huge infestation which can then in turn become a massive and huge health risk for you and your family.Closing & Call to ActionHost: So, you know, from our point of view and definitely the world’s point of view, the news, you know, coming from that cruise ship, the MV Hondius, is definitely a tragedy. But I do think that it is a broader wake-up call. You know, we share our world with different insects, with rodents, with wildlife, but our living spaces we shouldn’t have to share in terms of the air with these pathogens that they, you know, spread. So do not wait until you see a mouse running across your floor because chances are they’ve been there for a lot longer than you have actually realized or then that you have actually seen. If you hadn’t had an inspection, if you don’t have general pest control on a regular basis, give us a call at Peskies Pest Control. Let’s make sure that your home stays a sanctuary for yourself and your family and not a habitat for rodents, wildlife and pests. So stay safe, stay pest-free, and we’ll see you next time here on the Peskies Pest Control Podcast. The post Hantavirus: What You Need to Know! appeared first on Peskies Pest Control.

Episode Date: 05/09/26 Episode Number: 458Episode SummaryThis week on Home In Progress, Dan tackles one of the most dreaded things a homeowner can face — the smell of a dead animal somewhere in the house — and walks you through exactly how to find it, remove it, and get your home smelling normal again. Then he shifts to the practical side of Art Deco: how to bring that bold, geometric style into your own home without going overboard. And finally, Dan makes the case that paint finish is just as important a design decision as color — and shows you some surprisingly elegant tricks you can pull off with nothing more than a change in sheen.In This Episode[01:46] — Dead Animal Smell: How to Find It, Remove It, and Prevent It[19:25] — Art Deco at Home: A Practical Guide[33:26] — Paint Finish as a Design ToolSegments 1 & 2: Dead Animal Smell — Finding It, Removing It, and Preventing It [01:46]Dan's son Caleb bought a house and discovered a smell that turned out to be a dead possum under the floor — frozen all winter, then very much not frozen come spring. Dan uses that story to kick off a practical, no-nonsense guide to dealing with dead animal odors in your home.How bad will it be — and how long will it last? Size of the animal, temperature, humidity, and airflow all determine severity and duration. The rough timeline:Mouse: a few days to about a weekRat or squirrel: a couple of weeksPossum, raccoon, or larger: several weeks — potentially up to two months in a warm, damp, enclosed spaceHow to find the source:Use your nose. Walk slowly, close doors to isolate rooms, and track where the smell intensifies.Check near outlets, baseboards, vents, attic hatches, crawl space doors, and under stairs.Let your pets help — a dog or cat obsessively sniffing one spot is a clue worth following.Watch for blowflies. Large, metallic-looking flies congregating indoors often indicate a nearby carcass. Follow them.Note: the smell often seems to come from vents, but pest pros say the animal is almost never inside the ductwork — it's usually in a wall or attic space near a duct run. The HVAC is just moving the odor around.Once you've found it — how to remove it safely:Wear gloves and a mask, especially in enclosed spaces.Get air moving before you start: open windows, run a fan.Do not sweep or vacuum rodent droppings — that stirs particles into the air and can spread disease. Instead, spray droppings with a disinfectant or a 1:10 bleach-and-water solution, let it soak 5–10 minutes, then wipe with paper towels and mop the area again.Double-bag the carcass and dispose of it per your local regulations.What happens after removal depends on the surface:Hard, non-porous surfaces (concrete, metal, vinyl): Clean promptly, ventilate well, and the smell usually clears quickly.Porous materials (insulation, carpet pad, unfinished wood, drywall, ceiling tile): Decomposition fluids soak in and the smell can linger — or seem to come back on humid days — long after the animal is gone. In these cases, remove the contaminated material, clean with disinfectant, and then apply an enzymatic cleaner to break down any remaining organic residue at the molecular level. This is the step that eliminates the odor rather than masking it.If you can't find or access the source: The intense phase will eventually pass on its own as the carcass dries out. While you wait:Activated charcoal bags — place them as close to the affected area as possible. They trap odor molecules physically rather than adding a scent. Recharge them in sunlight every couple of weeks. Available at most stores for around $10–15 for a multi-pack.Foaming enzymatic cleaners (like BAC-A-Zap) — drill a small hole into the wall cavity, inject the foam, and the enzymes go to work on organic material from the inside. Available online or through pest control suppliers.Use both together for best results — but be honest with yourself: if fluids have soaked into porous materials inside that wall, you may eventually need to open it up.The final step — odor-blocking primer: Once the source is removed and the area is clean and dry, if you're still worried about lingering odor, you can seal hard surfaces with a shellac-based odor-blocking primer like BIN. Important: this is the last step — a lock on a problem already solved — not a first response.Two things worth knowing:Not every mystery smell is a dead animal. Propane and natural gas have a chemical odorant added to them that some people experience as a decay or skunk smell rather than the classic "rotten egg" description. If you can't find a source, the smell isn't fading, or it has a sharp chemical edge, leave the area and call your gas company.The "poison makes them leave the house" idea is a myth. Rodent poisons do not cause mice or rats to go outside searching for water, and they don't dry out the body to eliminate odor. The rodent eats the bait, gets sick over several days, and dies wherever it happens to be — usually inside a wall, under insulation, or behind an appliance. This is one of the reasons pest professionals often recommend snap traps inside the home instead of poison: you know exactly where the animal is.Prevention — sealing entry points:Inspect the exterior of your home for gaps and holes.For small openings: skip foam or caulk alone — rodents chew right through it. Pack the gap first with copper or stainless steel mesh, then seal over it with exterior-grade caulk or pest-blocking foam.For larger openings: use hardware cloth, metal flashing, or other chew-resistant materials.Check chimney caps, vent screens, damaged soffits, loose siding, and gaps around pipes and utility lines.Go into your garage, close the door, turn off the lights. If you can see daylight around the door frame big enough to fit a dime, that's a mouse entry point.Segment 2: Art Deco at Home — A Practical Guide [19:25]Last week Dan covered the history and origins of Art Deco. This week he makes it practical: how do you actually bring Art Deco into a real home without making the space feel like a 1920s movie set?The good news: Art Deco translates surprisingly well into modern interiors — especially when you borrow selectively. You don't need to go all in. Borrowing a few core principles can give any room more elegance, confidence, and visual impact.Three core ingredients of an Art Deco-inspired room:Shape — Art Deco loves geometry, clear lines, and repeated patterns. Think: a mirror with a stepped frame, wallpaper with a fan or geometric motif, a rug with bold linear structure, a light fixture with globes and symmetry, a vanity with fluted details, or a cabinet with curved corners and brass pulls. It's a structured style — not casual.Contrast — Art Deco works best when there's tension in the room: light against dark, gloss against matte, soft upholstery against hard metal, cream walls against black trim, jewel tones against warm metallic finishes.Sheen — Art Deco has always had an affinity for surfaces that reflect light: lacquer, mirrored materials, polished metal, glass, smooth stone, sleek tile. Even if your paint color is quiet and reserved, bumping up the sheen can push a room toward an Art Deco feel without committing to bolder colors.Color: Art Deco isn't just black and gold (though black, ivory, brass, and chrome is certainly one classic palette). The style also works with:Rich jewel tones: emerald green, sapphire blue, deep teal, burgundy, plumSofter palettes: blush pink, dusty rose, pale aqua, warm cream, smoky taupe, elegant grayWhat matters most is that the color choices feel deliberate — polished and intentional, not random.Two approaches to bringing Art Deco in with paint:Go dramatic: A deep green in a dining room, a rich navy in a bedroom, a charcoal in a powder room — especially when paired with brass lighting, crisp trim, and geometric accents.Go soft and elegant: Warm cream, pale blush, or a light gray-green on the walls, and let black accents, metallic fixtures, and geometric shapes carry the Art Deco energy. This is often the smarter route — the paint creates the atmosphere and the accessories do the style work.The golden rule: make a statement, not ten statements. Art Deco becomes overwhelming when every element is competing for attention. Let one or two things speak.Best rooms to try it:Powder rooms — small, high-impact, and a great place to experiment with darker, glossier choices. A jewel-toned wall, brass sconce, bold mirror, black vanity, and geometric tile can be a knockout.Entryways — Art Deco is great at first impressions. A strong console, a sunburst mirror, and a crisp wall color can make an entrance feel intentional and elegant.Dining rooms — Art Deco...

Two Waikato scientists, turned modern day pied pipers have been playing rodent chatter through speakers in the forest to lure rats into traps. If it works, it could cut pest erradication costs and be more efficient than waiting for rats to wander into traps. Speakers mounted on trees played the rat sound track on a loop day and night in forest at Tuateawa on the Coromandel Peninsula and Te Hoe near Hamilton. Wintec lecturer and researcher Dr Rhys Jones spoke to Lisa Owen.

In this episode, Michael addresses a couple of text messages regarding the KGM case, specifically the speech and debate protection of Congress. A listener, claims the clause applies only to the floor of the chamber, but Michael corrects this, explaining that it actually protects legislative acts in either house, including committee hearings, reports, and conversations. Michael also discusses a Colorado bill aimed at restricting the use of rodenticides, citing a study that found 100% of coyotes in the Denver area were exposed to deadly rodenticides, but questioning the bill's logic and potential consequences.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Zone two has been sold to you as the gold standard for mitochondrial health, fat burning, and longevity. But what if it was built on culture, not science. In this episode, I sit down with Kristi Storoschuk, a PhD researcher whose work is challenging some of the biggest claims in the exercise world right now. We break down why zone two training lacks the scientific evidence everyone assumes it has, why higher intensity zones three and four are actually more potent for mitochondrial adaptation, and why the 80/20 training split from elite athletes was never designed for someone exercising four days a week. We also get into why fasting doesn't activate the same cellular pathways in humans as it does in rodents, why cortisol from exercise is not the same as chronic stress, the truth about fasted exercise for women, and what lactate actually tells us about our metabolic health. Kristi also shares her current research in collaboration with Dr. Andy Galpin and Dr. Tommy Wood on whether lactate threshold can serve as a non-invasive proxy for mitochondrial content.

In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater discusses (Whitetail Landscapes) the importance of land management and habitat improvement for hunting properties. Joined by Austin Unruh from Trees for Grazers, they explore various topics including the significance of plant diversity, integrating trees into pastures, protecting young trees from wildlife, and the benefits of specific tree species like honey locust for deer. The conversation emphasizes practical strategies for enhancing hunting landscapes and ensuring ecological balance. This conversation delves into the ecological and nutritional significance of mulberries, particularly in relation to wildlife management and sustainable land practices. The speakers discuss the benefits of mulberries for deer and other wildlife, their role in ecosystem design, and best practices for planting and managing these trees. They emphasize the long-term advantages of integrating mulberries into land management strategies, highlighting their cost-effectiveness and nutritional value. Takeaways Diversity of plants enhances the landscape's ecological services. Leaf litter is a nutrient resource for insects and birds. Tartarian honeysuckle can negatively impact native plants. Integrating trees into pastures provides shade and food for livestock. Shade is crucial for the health of deer and cattle. Protecting young trees from wildlife is essential for survival. Tree tubes can be a costly solution for protecting trees. Honey locust pods provide critical energy for deer in winter. Trees typically produce biennially, affecting food availability for wildlife. Choosing the right cultivars can maximize benefits for wildlife. Mulberries serve as an important food source for wildlife. They can be managed for both fruit and foliage. Mulberries have a high protein content compared to other fruits. The tree can be maintained as a shrub or allowed to grow tall. Mulberries are known for their vigorous growth and resilience. They can bear fruit in as little as one to two years. Integrating mulberries into land management can enhance wildlife habitats. Long-term strategies can lead to sustainable land use. Mulberries provide energy and nutrients during critical seasons. Cost-effective management of mulberries can yield benefits for decades.   Social Links https://whitetaillandscapes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/whitetaillandscapes/ https://www.instagram.com/whitetail_landscapes/?hl=en https://treesforgraziers.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCmkofs5dbH-_AxrNf9B2GA/videos Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Some dates in history collect oddities the way a junk drawer collects batteries and old keys — you open it up and wonder how all of this ended up in the same place. FEBRUARY 2ND is one of those. We've got soldiers looking up at an impossible sky, archaeologists crawling into a forgotten tomb full of mummies, a castaway whose stubbornness saved his life, a secret society that terrorized an island for decades, and a beloved rodent whose job performance would get anyone else fired.
