What's Trending with Victor Lewis (This Morning with Aaron Keck)

Trending today: a fun study finding that people are more likely to give up subway seats to pregnant passengers if a guy dressed as Batman is in the car with them. (Not because it’s Batman – people are just more aware of their surroundings when weird things are happening around them – but hey, if you want to give Batman all the credit, go for it.)

Trending today: scientists are using mosquitos to 3-D print extremely fine nozzles, which are hard to manufacture but useful in many applications. (Also, Aaron and Victor debate the pronunciation of “micrometer” and “proboscis,” and Victor hates 3-D printing.)

Trending today: do you think you could hit a home run in Boshamer Stadium? UNC recently held a student home-run derby, so non-players could see for themselves. (Aaron used to be a good baseball player – but only defensively, so hitting a homer wasn’t ever in the cards.) Erstwhile would-be second baseman Michael Koh fills in for Victor.

Trending today: a March Madness-style bracket competition to determine the best U.S. state flag, courtesy of something called the Sickos Committee. Aaron and Michael Koh break down the final four (New Mexico, Alaska, Maryland and Minnesota), and Aaron offers his suggestion for what North Carolina’s state flag should be. (He’s not wrong.)

The post What’s Trending: Sicko Vexillology appeared first on Chapelboro.com.

Trending today: a hoax story about a famous 193-year-old tortoise, which fooled thousands into believing he had died. The fake story came from a single Twitter account, leading Aaron to get on his soapbox and remind everyone: especially with so much misinformation and slop out there, remember to check the source before you automatically believe and share a story. (I’m talking to you, Facebook Friend Who Shared An Obviously Phony Report That Roy Williams Was Coming Back To Replace Hubert Davis.) Michael Koh fills in for Victor.

Trending today: the draconian internal regulations that exist to maintain the secret of Raising Cane’s secret sauce recipe – including some packaging choices that make the sauce a little less appetizing than it might otherwise be. Victor doesn’t actually like the sauce all that much – but he’s desperate to crack the code. (Also, a happy ending for a previous Trends segment: Angus the cow lived after all.)

Trending today: a big spike in global saxophone sales, thanks largely – and very specifically – to retirees in China. Victor shares fun saxophone facts (including the fact that the instrument was once banned by the Vatican), while Aaron disses the trombone.

Trending today: matcha tea, which is increasingly popular – and increasingly grown outside of Japan, despite its close association with Japanese culture. Self-confessed cultural appropriator Victor offers one possible solution: like champagne, should we only call it ‘matcha’ if it’s explicitly grown in Japan?

Trending today: marine scientists are using drones to study whales – which is teaching us a lot more about whale behavior. Specifically, Victor shines the spotlight on one exciting new drone-based program – whose actual name is SnotBot. (Also, Victor wishes we could go back to the days when drones were just cool and not ominous, and Aaron shouts out Sigourney Weaver.)
