So many families and businesses in Western North Carolina are still in the process of rebuilding their lives after Hurricane Helene devastated the area.

That's why Eblen Charities in Asheville, North Carolina has started a Hurricane Recovery Fund to pay for food, gas, and even housing costs for people who've lost work or wages.

Thank you for helping Western North Carolina

get back on its feet. To donate, go to ebblincharities.org. That's eB-L-E-N-charities.org.

We always have an odd one in the crowd, so it's kind of odd.

I'm excitedly odd. Isn't that strike you as a little bit odd? No, it doesn't strike me as a little bit odd. It's the Bob and Sherry Oddcast with stuff we wouldn't, couldn't, or shouldn't do on the regular show.

Now, here's the odd cast.

I want to just say, as someone who absolutely adores technology and social media, even though it's a garbage fire 90% of the time, I think that

it's broken us as people because the algorithms favor engagement and what drives engagement

more than rage, right?

The overlords look at how much traction the negative stuff gets, and they go, oh, they must

want more of that.

And so the algorithm just keeps pumping more of the awful stuff, but there's so much good

stuff.

And let me just say this about medical science.

And this is something that we touch on all the time in our True Word stuff podcast.

These, like, until very recently we were diagnosing people and just cutting them open and letting some of their blood drain

out um we we had no freaking clue DNA is a very new discovery our understanding of the body the brain the heart all of it very very very new and in our understanding of the body, the brain, the heart, all of it, very, very,

very new. And in a very short amount of time, we're able to operate on a baby while she's still

in the womb. And I don't understand. And you will never, ever be able to explain it to me or

convince me.

And if you try, I'm probably just going to block you.
