Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the Wes Carroll Morning Show.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, 20th day of October. I'm Wes. Thanks for
- 0:17Speaker 2: joining me. Like a week out from my RFA procedure.
- 0:23Speaker 2: I would say more good days than bad. Yesterday, A
- 0:29Speaker 2: little tightness, stiffness in there, but I think that's to
- 0:31Speaker 2: be expected after, you know, you got a guy, got
- 0:34Speaker 2: a pain specialist in there doing his thing, working over
- 0:39Speaker 2: the neck. I mean, that's part of it, but, you know,
- 0:42Speaker 2: doing the injections and doing the burnings and the things
- 0:45Speaker 2: that have to be done to ease that pain. And
- 0:48Speaker 2: I've told you, I got a great pain relief guy, Dr. Shaw.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Veritas is the name of his office, his practice. If
- 0:57Speaker 2: you got pain, and he's not paying me anything to
- 0:59Speaker 2: do this. If you got pain, I recommend him. That's
- 1:02Speaker 2: all I can tell you. I went a long time
- 1:06Speaker 2: living with chronic pain, and he's done wonders to help
- 1:09Speaker 2: me navigate through this journey. We're not to the finish line.
- 1:14Speaker 2: It's just part of the process. And if it's chronic pain,
- 1:17Speaker 2: there may not be a finish line. But when you
- 1:19Speaker 2: got somebody in your corner that can help you out,
- 1:22Speaker 2: he's been a great addition to my care team. I've
- 1:27Speaker 2: had some multiple needs for care team over the years,
- 1:31Speaker 2: as you know. So I just offer that up to you.
- 1:35Speaker 2: We're like a week out. Here's to another good week
- 1:38Speaker 2: moving forward. And just also on the subject of health,
- 1:43Speaker 2: I want to mention this. I know, I feel like
- 1:49Speaker 2: everything that happened with COVID, even now that we're six
- 1:53Speaker 2: years out, It hasn't been done for six years, but
- 1:58Speaker 2: we were in the thick of all of this six
- 2:00Speaker 2: years ago. It was full scale. Can you even go vote?
- 2:05Speaker 2: Stay home if you're a Republican.
- 2:07Speaker 1: No, no.
- 2:09Speaker 2: I mean, that kind of would have been the message,
- 2:11Speaker 2: but they couldn't just say that. So that's not what
- 2:14Speaker 2: they said. But anyway, I mean, people kind of say
- 2:20Speaker 2: that anyway. I say that when I say if you're
- 2:23Speaker 2: not informed. Then why don't go vote? I'm not one
- 2:27Speaker 2: of those people who says, election day, get out there
- 2:31Speaker 2: and vote. You got to do it. You have no excuse. No,
- 2:35Speaker 2: get informed and then go vote. And if you're not
- 2:38Speaker 2: going to get informed, just stay home. Nobody wants you
- 2:43Speaker 2: to vote if you're uninformed. And if you can be
- 2:45Speaker 2: easily manipulated by, you know, like the press to go vote,
- 2:52Speaker 2: If you're so inclined, if you think that some of
- 2:55Speaker 2: the things in the news aren't just conveniently being brought
- 2:58Speaker 2: up just in time to manipulate you to vote and
- 3:02Speaker 2: then suddenly become like not an issue at all. You know,
- 3:05Speaker 2: just like all we talked about was Cornell for what,
- 3:09Speaker 2: like two weeks? And then that kind of fizzled out,
- 3:13Speaker 2: didn't it? I don't know. They're still talking about it
- 3:14Speaker 2: on some of the channels. I haven't seen it. I
- 3:17Speaker 2: haven't heard much about Cornell in a while. But back
- 3:20Speaker 2: to COVID, back to 2020. I know that COVID and
- 3:24Speaker 2: the vaccine is something that it caused a lot of
- 3:30Speaker 2: people that were getting other vaccines to stop. And there's
- 3:36Speaker 2: a layered conversation to go with all of that. I
- 3:40Speaker 2: have always been an annual flu shot guy. I just have.
- 3:45Speaker 2: And I've had one year, the last time that I
- 3:48Speaker 2: got the flu.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Uh, I can remember it was the day or the
- 3:55Speaker 2: day after I got the flu shot and some people went, well,
- 3:57Speaker 2: it gave you the flu and that's, that's not how
- 3:59Speaker 2: it works. That's well, everything that we've been told, we
- 4:04Speaker 2: questioned it starting six years ago, didn't we? Uh, but no, I,
- 4:09Speaker 2: I obviously it was already in my system when I
- 4:11Speaker 2: got the shot. You know, you don't just suddenly like
- 4:15Speaker 2: get the flu, like you've been injected and now, you know,
- 4:18Speaker 2: you have the flu later that day. That's too quick
- 4:21Speaker 2: of a turnaround. But, you know, that was a case of,
- 4:25Speaker 2: you know, I got the shot too late in the game.
- 4:28Speaker 2: I don't think, and there may have been one time
- 4:31Speaker 2: that I've gotten the flu sense. I'm trying to remember.
- 4:33Speaker 2: And I think it might've been a year I didn't
- 4:35Speaker 2: get the flu shot. And I don't know, you know,
- 4:37Speaker 2: they say you get the flu shot and if you
- 4:39Speaker 2: don't get the right shot and you're going to get
- 4:42Speaker 2: it anyway. I'm just mentioning this because we're in that window,
- 4:47Speaker 2: early window of getting flu shots. And flu season got
- 4:52Speaker 2: like a really early start this year. So I'm just
- 4:55Speaker 2: bringing that up with a rise in cases, and especially
- 4:59Speaker 2: if you got kids in school or you're working somewhere
- 5:03Speaker 2: out in the public, a lot of shaking hands and
- 5:05Speaker 2: all those kinds of things. It is a really high
- 5:09Speaker 2: instance of it. And I don't know if it has
- 5:11Speaker 2: to do with people, their hesitance now to get vaccinated.
- 5:14Speaker 2: I don't know. All I'm telling you is that if
- 5:16Speaker 2: you're a flu shot person, And I'm not telling you
- 5:20Speaker 2: to do it one way or the other. I don't
- 5:22Speaker 2: remember telling anyone to get their COVID shot. I didn't
- 5:25Speaker 2: do that on the radio or here. What I did
- 5:28Speaker 2: do was say that you should consult your doctor and,
- 5:32Speaker 2: you know, you know what's best for your health. And
- 5:34Speaker 2: that's the case with the flu shots. A lot of
- 5:36Speaker 2: experts say that flu shots are great. And then you
- 5:39Speaker 2: got some people say, oh, all them vaccines are bad.
- 5:42Speaker 2: All I can tell you is you got to do
- 5:44Speaker 2: what's best for you and hope for the best. Right?
- 5:48Speaker 2: That's what it comes down to. And if your doctor
- 5:52Speaker 2: is telling you to do something that you don't think
- 5:56Speaker 2: you should do, or your doctor is telling you to
- 5:59Speaker 2: not do something that you do think you should do,
- 6:01Speaker 2: then you should get another doctor. You know, if you
- 6:04Speaker 2: don't trust them and you're not going to listen to them,
- 6:07Speaker 2: you should get another doctor. That's another thing that I'm
- 6:10Speaker 2: a firm believer in. So anyway, that's just throwing that
- 6:13Speaker 2: out there to you. That's where we are right now.
- 6:15Speaker 2: There's a lot of flu cases everywhere. And I know somebody,
- 6:20Speaker 2: I was just talking to somebody over the weekend, got
- 6:23Speaker 2: flu shot, went out of town, somehow got the flu,
- 6:28Speaker 2: got a strand of flu that was not the strand
- 6:31Speaker 2: that the flu shot was for, maybe because they had
- 6:33Speaker 2: gone to another part of the country. I don't know.
- 6:37Speaker 2: I'm not a fluologist, so I don't know how that works.
- 6:40Speaker 2: All I can tell you is there's a lot of
- 6:42Speaker 2: cases of it around. A lot of people are sick.
- 6:45Speaker 2: We've had some sort of a respiratory thing in our house.
- 6:50Speaker 2: It's not the flu, but we've had something that's involved
- 6:52Speaker 2: a lot of coughing and hacking and all that stuff.
- 6:55Speaker 2: So just letting you know, this is your window where
- 7:00Speaker 2: you should probably be thinking about it. Yesterday's show, I
- 7:03Speaker 2: talked at length about about whatever's going on in Europe. France, Italy,
- 7:14Speaker 2: people setting things on fire. And one of the things
- 7:16Speaker 2: that I talked about with it was the fact that
- 7:23Speaker 2: we've gone through this phase here in the state, stateside, of,
- 7:29Speaker 2: to me, I don't think there's any other word to
- 7:32Speaker 2: describe it other than terrorism. I don't know why people
- 7:34Speaker 2: don't use that word, but when people are rioting in
- 7:37Speaker 2: the streets, and I'm not talking about, you know, holding
- 7:42Speaker 2: arms or hands and crossing a bridge. I'm not talking
- 7:45Speaker 2: about peaceful, like we're going to march, we're going to walk,
- 7:48Speaker 2: we're going to be seen, we're going to let people know.
- 7:50Speaker 2: I'm talking about we're angry and And there's people showing
- 7:56Speaker 2: up with signs and weapons and sticks and Molotov cocktails.
- 8:01Speaker 2: And they pull up in trucks and everybody's holding the
- 8:03Speaker 2: same sign. And it's, here's your mask to hide your face.
- 8:07Speaker 2: And let's get out there and cause destruction and chaos
- 8:10Speaker 2: and set things on fire. That's what I'm talking about.
- 8:14Speaker 2: I'm not talking about peaceful protest. I'm talking about people
- 8:17Speaker 2: blocking the roads and dragging people out of cars and
- 8:19Speaker 2: setting police cars on fire. and looting businesses and robbing
- 8:26Speaker 2: people on the streets. That's what I'm talking about. There's
- 8:30Speaker 2: no excuse for that. There's none. And I don't care
- 8:32Speaker 2: who you are. You get to a point where when
- 8:34Speaker 2: things get violent, then law enforcement should also extend the
- 8:40Speaker 2: same kind of violence back to calm it down. And
- 8:43Speaker 2: we just now have a society where they're not allowed
- 8:45Speaker 2: to do that. You go, no, you can't get, no, no, no, no.
- 8:50Speaker 2: You're going after a child molester murderer that raped somebody
- 8:55Speaker 2: in another country and came here and they're just trying
- 8:57Speaker 2: to blend in and they're hanging out near the elementary
- 9:00Speaker 2: school and you got a warrant for their arrest so
- 9:03Speaker 2: you can throw them out of the country. Don't do that.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Leave them be for crying out loud. They snuck in
- 9:08Speaker 2: here fair and square. Leave them alone. And then you
- 9:12Speaker 2: go to get them and then they run and then
- 9:13Speaker 2: they start driving a car at you and then you
- 9:16Speaker 2: shoot them. And then you're the bad guy because you
- 9:21Speaker 2: shot back or whatever. They tried to run you over
- 9:24Speaker 2: with a car or someone tried to run you over
- 9:26Speaker 2: in a car to protect them. Because it's not about
- 9:31Speaker 2: right and wrong anymore. It's just about chaos and anarchy
- 9:35Speaker 2: and doing everything we can to obstruct. So that's what's
- 9:39Speaker 2: going on in Europe. And I told you this is
- 9:44Speaker 2: terrorism outright. That's what it is. And when people are
- 9:48Speaker 2: trying to use fear to manipulate what you do, we
- 9:54Speaker 2: just had all this with Bill Burr, the comedian who
- 9:59Speaker 2: went on a podcast. and said, yeah, healthcare people are
- 10:03Speaker 2: hiring security, barricading themselves in their offices rather than listening
- 10:08Speaker 2: to what people are trying to tell them. You know,
- 10:11Speaker 2: somebody gets shot and killed. So what do they do?
- 10:14Speaker 2: They protect themselves and their families rather than just changing
- 10:18Speaker 2: the whole healthcare system. They should listen to what people
- 10:21Speaker 2: have to say. I mean, that's a passive plea to
- 10:26Speaker 2: listen to the terrorists. That's what that is. He's a comedian.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Comedians say things. I don't think he was trying to
- 10:33Speaker 2: be funny there. Nobody really got overly outraged by that.
- 10:38Speaker 2: I mean, some people on the right weren't particularly happy
- 10:40Speaker 2: with it. But a lot of people on the left
- 10:43Speaker 2: thought it was great. Yeah, that's right. Listen, Luigi's our hero.
- 10:49Speaker 2: How dare these people want to be able to live
- 10:52Speaker 2: their lives and do their jobs. Shane Gillis goes on
- 10:58Speaker 2: SNL and says that women, I don't want to women
- 11:02Speaker 2: dress like, and then he used a word that a
- 11:07Speaker 2: lot of, it was a lot of men. There were
- 11:10Speaker 2: women who were upset, but a lot of men jumped
- 11:12Speaker 2: out quickly on this. How dare he say women dress
- 11:16Speaker 2: like that? Actually, that's not even what they said. It's
- 11:22Speaker 2: a more colorful way to say prostitute, in case you're
- 11:24Speaker 2: out of that loop. He said that women at the
- 11:27Speaker 2: gym dress like prostitutes. And there were a lot of
- 11:34Speaker 2: male celebrities who jumped in and said, he's calling women prostitutes.
- 11:42Speaker 2: It's another word that says, this time of year we
- 11:44Speaker 2: watch horror movies. And you have to be careful that
- 11:47Speaker 2: you get all the syllables in there. Horror movies. You
- 11:51Speaker 2: follow me? All right. And that's not what he said.
- 11:54Speaker 2: He just said that, hey, people are dressing like this.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Women are dressing like this at the gym. And you
- 11:59Speaker 2: got to be careful you don't get caught looking in
- 12:01Speaker 2: their videos because they're making videos at the gym. And
- 12:05Speaker 2: then you're a creepy guy looking in the background. He's
- 12:07Speaker 2: a comedian. He was making a joke. More people took
- 12:11Speaker 2: offense at that than Bill Burr basically saying, how dare
- 12:15Speaker 2: these health care employees and president's. want to keep themselves
- 12:20Speaker 2: and their families safe and have security and not caving in.
- 12:26Speaker 2: How dare they? How dare they? All right, and I'll
- 12:30Speaker 2: only bring this up again because we talked about it yesterday,
- 12:31Speaker 2: but I wanted to bring it up again because, hey,
- 12:35Speaker 2: what do you know? Congressman Ro Khanna, who thinks he's
- 12:38Speaker 2: going to be president. He's one of those people that's
- 12:42Speaker 2: in the thick of things. He wants to run for president.
- 12:46Speaker 2: And he.
- 12:49Speaker 2: It went on, uh, X and he basically said, uh, that, uh,
- 12:57Speaker 2: what are we sure I get this quote, right? Here's
- 12:59Speaker 2: the quote. Uh, this is what happens when nations let
- 13:02Speaker 2: wealth and power accumulate in the hands of a few. Right. Uh,
- 13:07Speaker 2: and he basically, uh, taking a lot of flack for
- 13:11Speaker 2: the comments because he's saying that, uh, ultimately, um, It's
- 13:19Speaker 2: an excuse for political violence. He's basically saying that you
- 13:26Speaker 2: need to listen to the young. And a lot of
- 13:31Speaker 2: people on the right going, what are you trying to
- 13:33Speaker 2: say here, Roe? What exactly is it that you think
- 13:39Speaker 2: we should be listening to? One of those people was
- 13:42Speaker 2: Spencer Pratt, who was running for mayor as a conservative
- 13:46Speaker 2: in L.A. And he says, of course, and this is
- 13:51Speaker 2: the way he wrote it. This was on, I believe,
- 13:55Speaker 2: also on social media. Of course, Rohit Khanman, that's what
- 14:00Speaker 2: he called Ro Khanna, sees mass communists riots destroying businesses
- 14:05Speaker 2: and historic buildings in Paris and lies about it as
- 14:09Speaker 2: some noble ask for justice. These commies lie as easily
- 14:14Speaker 2: as they breathe. Um, yeah. Uh, Shannon Watts, Democratic gun activist, uh,
- 14:24Speaker 2: has been, uh, critical of, uh, the far left portions
- 14:30Speaker 2: of the Democrat party said, uh, also on X, if
- 14:36Speaker 2: you're a member of Congress who condemned the January 6th insurrection,
- 14:39Speaker 2: you don't get to excuse riots in France as a
- 14:41Speaker 2: cry for help. Political violence doesn't seem acceptable just because
- 14:46Speaker 2: you sympathize with with the people who are committing it. Yeah,
- 14:53Speaker 2: well said. Terrorism, that's what it is. And if you're
- 14:57Speaker 2: telling people to cave to the terrorists because you agree
- 15:00Speaker 2: with them, then you're part of the problem, right? Because
- 15:07Speaker 2: you're justifying it. And now you understand why there's so
- 15:11Speaker 2: many people who think that it's some sort of psyop
- 15:15Speaker 2: or at some sort of conspiracy theory that is accurate.
- 15:21Speaker 2: When you say, oh, well, that's just a conspiracy theory.
- 15:23Speaker 2: These people aren't pulling up in vans and handing out
- 15:27Speaker 2: signs and equipment and weapons and things. Sticks, two-by-fours a
- 15:33Speaker 2: la Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Remember that guy? If you didn't
- 15:39Speaker 2: watch wrestling back in the day, you don't. And then
- 15:42Speaker 2: you say that's a big conspiracy theory. And then you say, oh,
- 15:45Speaker 2: here's a video of one of the vans handing out
- 15:48Speaker 2: signs and two-by-fours. And you go, oh, and masks and
- 15:55Speaker 2: changes of clothes. Oh, it's still just a conspiracy theory.
- 15:59Speaker 2: This isn't real. This can't possibly be real. It can't
- 16:04Speaker 2: be real that these are funded things. quote-unquote spontaneous grassroots
- 16:10Speaker 2: protests can't possibly be funded. It just happens to be
- 16:15Speaker 2: the same thing with the same equipment in different places
- 16:19Speaker 2: just popping up around a city or a country. And
- 16:23Speaker 2: they're speaking a message that politicians are trying to jump
- 16:27Speaker 2: on and take advantage of in the states because of
- 16:30Speaker 2: a midterm election. I'd like to say you're better than this,
- 16:35Speaker 2: Ro Khanna, but I don't know that you are. Today's
- 16:37Speaker 2: show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca-Cola Space

- 16:54Speaker 2: kids visit the Coca-Cola Space Science Center, but they also
- 16:57Speaker 2: do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
- 17:04Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
- 17:08Speaker 2: right now. And you can learn more about maybe getting
- 17:11Speaker 2: your degree on their website, ccssc.org. While you're there... Also
- 17:19Speaker 2: check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this
- 17:22Speaker 2: incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School of
- 17:26Speaker 2: Music from Columbus State University called Music Under the Dome.
- 17:29Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
- 17:34Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
- 17:36Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia?
- 17:40Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
- 17:45Speaker 2: right here in Columbus and Inside the Planetarium at the
- 17:49Speaker 2: Coca-Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
- 17:52Speaker 2: Under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows
- 17:57Speaker 2: and also check out when the next astronomy night's coming
- 18:00Speaker 2: up where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it
- 18:03Speaker 2: at the Coca-Cola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get somewhere
- 18:07Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
- 18:09Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming astronomy night
- 18:12Speaker 2: events also on their website. It's CCSSC.org. As Sean Cruzan says, CharlieCharlieSamSamCharlie.org.
- 18:21Speaker 2: I just remind you that it stands for Coca-Cola Space
- 18:25Speaker 2: Science Center. CCSSC.org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
- 18:30Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial...
- 18:35Speaker 2: or residential, maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for.
- 18:40Speaker 2: It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has
- 18:43Speaker 2: parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead
- 18:47Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that
- 18:50Speaker 2: away for you. And while they're there, you can always
- 18:53Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
- 18:56Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
- 18:59Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
- 19:02Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
- 19:04Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
- 19:08Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
- 19:12Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
- 19:14Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
- 19:18Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
- 19:21Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
- 19:24Speaker 2: door system. that you can put down and you can
- 19:27Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor,
- 19:31Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
- 19:33Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 19:35Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
- 19:37Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
- 19:40Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
- 19:42Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
- 19:45Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
- 19:48Speaker 2: your garage door won't open. and you need somebody to
- 19:51Speaker 2: come help. And they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.
- 19:55Speaker 2: More West Carroll Morning Show right after the break. The
- 20:13Speaker 2: latest bit of nostalgia has returned in the form of
- 20:20Speaker 2: the McDonald's Boo Buckets. Remember these things from Halloween's of
- 20:26Speaker 2: yesteryear where they're back for 2026 and gone over to
- 20:32Speaker 2: the dark side. There's a Disney theme going on here.
- 20:38Speaker 2: So beginning today, McDonald's rolling out their new collection of
- 20:43Speaker 2: Disney Villain Boo Buckets with Happy Meals at participating location.
- 20:48Speaker 2: The lineup includes some fan favorites, Ursula, Maleficent, Scar, Jafar,
- 20:57Speaker 2: and Cruella de Vil. Each bucket comes with villain-themed lids
- 21:01Speaker 2: and sticker sheets so that fans can customize their collectible pail.
- 21:06Speaker 2: The Boo Bucket first debuted in 1986 and have become
- 21:10Speaker 2: a nostalgic Halloween tradition. McDonald's says the buckets will only
- 21:15Speaker 2: be available while supplies last, which means collectors and Disney
- 21:18Speaker 2: fans and parents could be making a few extra drive-thru
- 21:22Speaker 2: runs before Halloween. Especially the Disney fans, because you know
- 21:27Speaker 2: they want to get their hands on these things. It's
- 21:29Speaker 2: a cool way to reintroduce it, I guess. I just
- 21:32Speaker 2: miss the old ones. You know, the ones that had
- 21:35Speaker 2: like a pumpkin or, you know, whatever they had. I
- 21:40Speaker 2: don't know. I don't miss them that much. We weren't
- 21:43Speaker 2: really big Happy Meal family. We kind of just went
- 21:47Speaker 2: in and like my kids, I don't know that my
- 21:50Speaker 2: kids have ever had a Happy Meal. And, you know,
- 21:53Speaker 2: they've had McDonald's. They just don't necessarily do the whole
- 21:56Speaker 2: Happy Meal thing. Also in the spirit of spooky stuff,
- 22:01Speaker 2: this is like an exercise thing that you can do,
- 22:05Speaker 2: but it involves something kind of, I don't know, demonic.
- 22:10Speaker 2: I mean, you can see it that way. I don't
- 22:12Speaker 2: think that's the intention with it. But there's basically a
- 22:17Speaker 2: 666 walking challenge. Get it and see where we're going
- 22:22Speaker 2: with this. So it's actually just kind of like you
- 22:26Speaker 2: walk for 60 minutes. at 6 a.m. or 6 p.m.,
- 22:31Speaker 2: and there's a six-minute warm-up at the beginning and a
- 22:34Speaker 2: six-minute cool-down, so that's what you got. You got 6 a.m.
- 22:38Speaker 2: or 6 p.m., and then you got a six-minute warm-up
- 22:43Speaker 2: and a six-minute cool-down, and then your 60-minute walk. So
- 22:47Speaker 2: it's actually 6-6-6-60, or you could put the 60 maybe somewhere,
- 22:53Speaker 2: you know, it would be, I guess, 6 a.m. or
- 22:55Speaker 2: 6 p.m. That's a six. And then you got a
- 22:59Speaker 2: six-minute warm-up, and then 60, and then you got another six.
- 23:03Speaker 2: So that breaks it up, and that makes it a
- 23:05Speaker 2: little less, you know, Mark of the Beast and all
- 23:07Speaker 2: that stuff. Experts say the structure makes it easy to
- 23:10Speaker 2: stay consistent, and the hour-long walk helps boost cardiovascular health,
- 23:15Speaker 2: increases daily step counts, helps you burn more calories than
- 23:18Speaker 2: just a quick stroll around the block. The challenge has
- 23:21Speaker 2: been blowing up on social media because of, you know,
- 23:25Speaker 2: the name, I guess. I don't know. It seems like
- 23:27Speaker 2: a reason for people to. jump into it. So I
- 23:31Speaker 2: got one friend who is ridiculously infamously fearful of the
- 23:41Speaker 2: number 666. She doesn't like it at all. She doesn't
- 23:44Speaker 2: like it at all. So she would not be into this,
- 23:47Speaker 2: but maybe if you put the 60 in there, she might.
- 23:50Speaker 2: And she's probably listening. She listens to the show. So
- 23:55Speaker 2: how about this for a trend? I think... Some of
- 23:59Speaker 2: us have certainly taken advantage of grandparents, especially the grandmothers,
- 24:06Speaker 2: when it comes to raising our kids. There's something about
- 24:09Speaker 2: this current wave of kids where grandparents are very involved
- 24:16Speaker 2: with helping to raise the kids. But one thing that
- 24:18Speaker 2: people kind of take for granted, I guess, is that grandparents,
- 24:21Speaker 2: especially grandmothers, just have an endless amount of energy to
- 24:24Speaker 2: take care of their grandkids. And it's because they love
- 24:26Speaker 2: them and they want to take care of them. But
- 24:29Speaker 2: there's something that's being referred to now as the depleted
- 24:31Speaker 2: grandmother syndrome, basically to describe the physical, emotional and financial
- 24:37Speaker 2: burnout that can come from providing regular child care for grandchildren.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Many grandparents are stepping in and have been for a
- 24:45Speaker 2: long time to help with the price of child care up.
- 24:50Speaker 2: And they say that if they can watch the kids
- 24:53Speaker 2: several times a week or even on a full time basis,
- 24:58Speaker 2: And they do love the time, but they say that
- 25:00Speaker 2: it does wear them out and it's kind of complicated.
- 25:03Speaker 2: And there's things maybe that they'd also like to do
- 25:06Speaker 2: in their daily life other than just taking care of
- 25:08Speaker 2: the kids, even though they love them. They're just putting
- 25:11Speaker 2: them first. They're making that self-sacrifice. And that's what ultimately
- 25:14Speaker 2: can lead to this whole idea of depleted grandmother syndrome.
- 25:18Speaker 2: So keep that in mind as you're leaning on the grandparents.
- 25:23Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that they don't want to. Don't
- 25:26Speaker 2: you dare tell the grandparent in your life that I'm
- 25:30Speaker 2: saying that they don't want to. That's not what I'm
- 25:32Speaker 2: saying at all. I'm just pointing out the fact that
- 25:34Speaker 2: you should respect the fact that maybe some burnout going
- 25:38Speaker 2: on and check in with them on that every now
- 25:40Speaker 2: and then. That'll do it for this Tuesday edition of
- 25:43Speaker 2: the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you
