Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:05
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:07
Speaker 2: Monday morning, seventeenth day of November. I'm West, thanks for
0:13
Speaker 2: joining me. A birthday for two people in my life.
0:19
Speaker 2: My son Luke is celebrating today. He shares that birthday
0:24
Speaker 2: with his uncle, my brother Paul. Luke born on Paul's
0:29
Speaker 2: fortieth birthday, so we're having that double birthday thing in
0:35
Speaker 2: the family. I'm you know, we just had a birthday
0:39
Speaker 2: for Jake just a few weeks ago, as he is
0:43
Speaker 2: now a junior in high school, and that's kind of
0:46
Speaker 2: hitting us where you're starting to get to those birthdays
0:49
Speaker 2: where it's getting late in the high school run and
0:52
Speaker 2: kind of preparing for the next steps and things. And
0:56
Speaker 2: I don't want to get depressed and sad, feel like
0:58
Speaker 2: I'm watching the Toy Story five trailer again. But my
1:03
Speaker 2: point is having your youngest hitting that point where he's
1:07
Speaker 2: turning fourteen today and it's just like that's my you know,
1:10
Speaker 2: that's the baby turning fourteen today. So anyway, it's a
1:15
Speaker 2: big day and the Carroll family with two birthdays in it. All. Right,
1:21
Speaker 2: A couple of things I want to address today. First up,
1:28
Speaker 2: there's this weird thing that has happened where because of
1:32
Speaker 2: these Epstein emails. And I kind of addressed him a
1:35
Speaker 2: little bit on Thursday, but these emails have come out.
1:39
Speaker 2: We've seen some of this content before. Epstein didn't like
1:42
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, he hated him, and you know, said Trump
1:46
Speaker 2: was one of the worst human beings in the world.
1:49
Speaker 2: It's wild to me that Democrats over the weekend have
1:53
Speaker 2: been saying, see, Jeffrey Epstein hates him, that's how bad
1:56
Speaker 2: Trump is. And it's like, wait a minute, you're you're
1:59
Speaker 2: proud that you're agreeing with Jeffrey Epstein on something that's weird.
2:03
Speaker 2: That's a weird stance to take. To me. It almost
2:07
Speaker 2: seems best to just let that one go. I mean,
2:10
Speaker 2: what are we What is the purpose exactly of jumping
2:14
Speaker 2: in on the I side with Jeffrey Epstein argument, just
2:19
Speaker 2: because that's how much you don't like Donald Trump. That's
2:22
Speaker 2: a pretty weird place to be. The emails, of course,
2:26
Speaker 2: basically showed how much he hated Trump, thought he was
2:29
Speaker 2: the worst person on the planet, acknowledged somewhere in there
2:33
Speaker 2: that he had spent some time with one of the
2:36
Speaker 2: victims in the Jeffrey Epstein crimes. But the person that
2:45
Speaker 2: is being addressed in there, whose name was redacted and
2:49
Speaker 2: content with like previously unredacted and now being redacted, is
2:53
Speaker 2: the woman who worked at mar A Lago, and I
2:58
Speaker 2: guess at the time she was underage, but she herself
3:04
Speaker 2: before passing away, said that Donald Trump was always nice
3:08
Speaker 2: to her, kind to her, and that he wasn't involved
3:10
Speaker 2: in anything. But the Left has tried to turn that
3:13
Speaker 2: into a well, you can see here from the Jeffrey
3:16
Speaker 2: Epstein emails that Trump was around one of the victims,
3:21
Speaker 2: underage victims. This is nothing new. This is all information
3:25
Speaker 2: that we've had for a long time. So a wild
3:29
Speaker 2: thing that has happened here where it's turned into well,
3:33
Speaker 2: you know, Jeffrey Epstein is trustworthy. Jeffrey Epstein is someone
3:39
Speaker 2: that we should be proud to side with on the
3:42
Speaker 2: Trump thing. I would think if you saw that Jeffrey
3:46
Speaker 2: Epstein really hated Donald Trump and said he was the
3:50
Speaker 2: worst person ever, that should be grounds to at least
3:53
Speaker 2: take a step back and go, maybe we need to
3:57
Speaker 2: rethink this Trump thing. I mean, maybe you come to
3:59
Speaker 2: this conclusion that you still don't like him. But I
4:02
Speaker 2: would say that Jeffrey Epstein, not liking someone to me
4:10
Speaker 2: should at least give pause to reconsider just a little bit.
4:15
Speaker 2: But it's weird the whole idea that you have people
4:19
Speaker 2: on the left that suddenly have decided no, no, no,
4:22
Speaker 2: we're going that way. This is different than what they
4:25
Speaker 2: did with Elon Musk. Elon Musk supported Donald Trump. He
4:29
Speaker 2: said the left had gone too far left and that
4:31
Speaker 2: he was ready to move away from them. He supported Trump,
4:36
Speaker 2: he supported he was part of this coalition of people
4:40
Speaker 2: that Trump had put together, former Democrats and former left wingers.
4:43
Speaker 2: And suddenly people just really they were already starting to
4:47
Speaker 2: hate Elon Musk because of Twitter and you know, free
4:51
Speaker 2: speech and all these things. But again this is a
4:54
Speaker 2: similar but the other direction where it's like, no, that
4:57
Speaker 2: was our guy. He was all about making electric cars.
5:01
Speaker 2: Now we hate him because he likes free speech. We
5:05
Speaker 2: hate him because he's breaking up the monopoly that we
5:09
Speaker 2: have on manipulating the way that people thinks the monopoly
5:13
Speaker 2: on manipulating. That's the kind of professional talker you're getting today.
5:19
Speaker 2: So just the opposite of that. Now, there's another one
5:22
Speaker 2: that's similar to what's happened with the Epstein thing, where
5:26
Speaker 2: someone that they've hated, they decided to side with and
5:29
Speaker 2: by the way, they kind of went a little bit
5:31
Speaker 2: back towards it. They stopped hating on Musk when he
5:34
Speaker 2: and Trump were feuding. And but anyway, Marjorie Taylor Green
5:39
Speaker 2: is someone who has been really outspoken against Trump lately,
5:44
Speaker 2: and Trump has been vicious back to her because he's
5:48
Speaker 2: saying that she's not you know, he did a lot
5:50
Speaker 2: to help her, she's not supporting him properly. And suddenly
5:53
Speaker 2: you got people on the left going, yeah, look at
5:55
Speaker 2: Marjorie Taylor Green, Well, she's on our side. Now. Now,
6:01
Speaker 2: let me also say this, Republicans are not completely innocent
6:06
Speaker 2: of these shenanigans, because it's it's not it's not it's
6:14
Speaker 2: not Republicans being completely incapable of this because it happened
6:20
Speaker 2: with John Fetterman. You remember all the criticism of Fetterman.
6:24
Speaker 2: He's a big oaf, he's a big glut, he dresses
6:26
Speaker 2: like a slob. These are things that I sort of said, right,
6:29
Speaker 2: at least the slob part not competent to do the job.
6:34
Speaker 2: They wanted him to be the senator in Pennsylvania so that,
6:37
Speaker 2: you know, they could it would be one more seat
6:39
Speaker 2: they could win, and then all of a sudden, he's
6:43
Speaker 2: like one of the voices of reason, right, He's become
6:46
Speaker 2: one of those people that's just the you know, like
6:48
Speaker 2: Kirsten Cinema, just like, wait a minute, we're not far left,
6:53
Speaker 2: we're left of center. What are we doing here? Why
6:56
Speaker 2: would we decide that everything has to be so contentious
7:02
Speaker 2: all the time? So Republicans aren't completely incapable of this
7:06
Speaker 2: and the whole Margini Taylor Green things. She says that
7:09
Speaker 2: she's gotten threats since having opposition with Trump. She says
7:13
Speaker 2: that she's apologized now for getting involved in toxic politics.
7:20
Speaker 2: She said and did an interview last night on CNN,
7:23
Speaker 2: and she basically says that, yeah, being involved in toxic politics,
7:30
Speaker 2: I apologize for it. And anyway, so it's just wild
7:35
Speaker 2: to me someone that people on the left absolutely hated.
7:38
Speaker 2: I assume that they would still hate her if not
7:40
Speaker 2: for this, but they're starting to see, like we can
7:43
Speaker 2: kind of see where I think now. By the way,
7:45
Speaker 2: there's a lot of folks on the left that now
7:48
Speaker 2: hate John Fetterman. It's so weird how quickly these things can.
7:52
Speaker 2: You know, Fetterman had his issue with his heart. He fell.
7:56
Speaker 2: He's got the bruising and stuff on his face, and
8:00
Speaker 2: he says he's gotten messages from people. You know, it's
8:04
Speaker 2: saying they hope he has another heart issue or a
8:08
Speaker 2: heart attack or you know. This is what we're doing now,
8:12
Speaker 2: this is where we are. It's a crazy thing that
8:16
Speaker 2: we're doing now. Okay, So I want to I want
8:21
Speaker 2: to talk about something. This is a bit of a
8:23
Speaker 2: change in gears and it relates to some of this,
8:27
Speaker 2: but it also has to do with something from church.
8:33
Speaker 2: When something strikes me at church, I like to bring
8:36
Speaker 2: it up here on the show because, as I've said before,
8:42
Speaker 2: my faith is the top priority for me. If my
8:47
Speaker 2: faith suddenly was an obstacle for me and my politics,
8:56
Speaker 2: then excuse me. I've got the IO have Definitely, like I,
9:07
Speaker 2: politics for me is very second nature compared to my faith.
9:10
Speaker 2: That's the most important thing for me. And I talk
9:13
Speaker 2: about it here when something comes up and I think
9:16
Speaker 2: it's important. And I say this all the time. If
9:18
Speaker 2: your politics has the influence and the control over where
9:24
Speaker 2: your churches or where you are at church, or where
9:27
Speaker 2: your faith is, then you're not doing it right. You
9:29
Speaker 2: can't let your politics be your main focus. That can't
9:33
Speaker 2: be the one a in your life and you be
9:36
Speaker 2: doing religion properly. You just can't. You can't sit back
9:40
Speaker 2: and say, look, I've got to do everything I can,
9:44
Speaker 2: even at the expense of someone being murdered and me
9:47
Speaker 2: celebrating it, and then you know, turn that back into
9:51
Speaker 2: but I'm a person of faith. That's not how any
9:54
Speaker 2: of this works. That's not how it's meant to work. Anyway.
10:00
Speaker 2: Something that came up in church, and I wanted to
10:04
Speaker 2: to address this because I do think it is uh.
10:10
Speaker 2: I do think it was an interesting thing and it
10:12
Speaker 2: ties into some of the stuff that we're talking about.
10:16
Speaker 2: But yesterday this this came up at church, the idea
10:20
Speaker 2: of the importance of our faith being important not this
10:25
Speaker 2: isn't in the subject of politics, but in the subject
10:29
Speaker 2: of not taking someone like a Christian celebrity, someone who
10:35
Speaker 2: is famous, someone who is religious, and elevating them to
10:41
Speaker 2: the point of you know, your you look up to
10:44
Speaker 2: them so much, and that others do the same, and
10:49
Speaker 2: then suddenly these people then become above accountability. I was
10:56
Speaker 2: a fascinating point that was being made at church yesterday,
11:01
Speaker 2: and I think not just now, it obviously hits in
11:07
Speaker 2: you know what she was talking about yesterday, but it
11:10
Speaker 2: also hits on a number of levels because any time
11:16
Speaker 2: we take any person and it's someone that's famous, someone
11:20
Speaker 2: that we look up to, and someone that we look
11:23
Speaker 2: up to largely because they're famous, maybe you're you're rooted
11:29
Speaker 2: in the idea that you think that their music is good,
11:33
Speaker 2: or maybe you're rooted in the fact that you like
11:36
Speaker 2: some of the things that they say, some of the
11:39
Speaker 2: projects they've worked on, movies, whatever. But once you get
11:43
Speaker 2: them to that point where they're now elevated above any
11:47
Speaker 2: sort of accountability, they can say anything, they can do
11:51
Speaker 2: anything at all, and they get a pass for it.
11:56
Speaker 2: And we do it a lot with our celebrities, with
12:01
Speaker 2: our idols, with our people that we look up to.
12:04
Speaker 2: Now again, this message to church was not specifically addressing that.
12:08
Speaker 2: It was really talking about, you know, if you're following
12:11
Speaker 2: someone who's an outspoken Christian, for example, on social media,
12:16
Speaker 2: and they're doing things that you know, you that make
12:21
Speaker 2: you really sort of elevate them and promote them and
12:23
Speaker 2: push them, and then if they start to slip and slide,
12:26
Speaker 2: there's there's nothing really to be done to help them
12:30
Speaker 2: get back to where they should be and this is
12:33
Speaker 2: true very much in I think, in all aspects of
12:38
Speaker 2: our life. And then there's the other side of it,
12:40
Speaker 2: because we talk about often how the left in particular
12:46
Speaker 2: really loves to not just demonize people on the right
12:51
Speaker 2: or people who are sympathetic to the right, or the
12:53
Speaker 2: John Fetterman's of the world or Kristen Cinema, I mean
12:58
Speaker 2: anybody who is willing to the Bill Mahers who is
13:03
Speaker 2: certainly not a conservative, who is not a Republican by
13:06
Speaker 2: any means, but defends some of what conservatives have done
13:11
Speaker 2: and is pushing hard for Democrats to move back to
13:14
Speaker 2: left of center and saying, look, we're never going to
13:17
Speaker 2: win another race of any significance again, except in a
13:22
Speaker 2: hand places like New York. You know that's that's a
13:25
Speaker 2: case where it's different, but celebrating the upcoming the mayor
13:30
Speaker 2: elect in New York is not going to help them,
13:35
Speaker 2: and he's demonized for saying that. And we do this
13:41
Speaker 2: where you know, you call people hitler, you call people nazi,
13:44
Speaker 2: you call people all these horrible things for the purpose
13:47
Speaker 2: of trying to make them like you discredit them through that,
13:54
Speaker 2: and ultimately it becomes so hateful and so toxic to
13:58
Speaker 2: use Marjorie Taylor Green's word, that it puts them in
14:02
Speaker 2: a position where it certainly seems like you would be
14:05
Speaker 2: okay with them being killed, like it happened to Charlie
14:09
Speaker 2: Kirk and then he was killed. It's happened with a
14:11
Speaker 2: number of people. So we do this in both directions.
14:14
Speaker 2: We demonize them, and by when I say we, it's
14:17
Speaker 2: primarily coming from the left. And it's not to say
14:20
Speaker 2: that people on the right have never been guilty of
14:22
Speaker 2: doing toxic things. But people on the right are not
14:25
Speaker 2: calling for the death of people on the left. That's
14:28
Speaker 2: not what's happening in general. That's not what's happening in
14:33
Speaker 2: mass with mass examples. It's not happening with members of
14:37
Speaker 2: the media. It's not happening on college campuses. That's not
14:42
Speaker 2: it you're seeing right now, especially right now folks on
14:46
Speaker 2: the right saying, hey, let everybody be heard. Why is
14:48
Speaker 2: it dangerous to let people be heard? And then you
14:53
Speaker 2: have this other poison where you take someone And I'm
14:56
Speaker 2: not necessarily calling Taylor Swift poison. I'm not, that's not
15:02
Speaker 2: what I'm doing. But she is now at a position
15:05
Speaker 2: where she's above any sort of accountability. She's above, Like
15:10
Speaker 2: it would be impossible if Taylor Swift did something that
15:13
Speaker 2: was so horrible that I don't know that anything would
15:18
Speaker 2: happen to her. I don't know that it could. I
15:20
Speaker 2: don't know how long it would take before that would
15:23
Speaker 2: go away. Like she's just one of those people that
15:26
Speaker 2: people are willing to pay two thousand dollars. People that
15:29
Speaker 2: don't have two thousand dollars a ticket to go see
15:32
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift or buying two thousand dollars tickets to go
15:35
Speaker 2: see Taylor Swift more than happy to do it, spend
15:39
Speaker 2: whatever it takes to go see her because they just
15:41
Speaker 2: want to be in the room with her, to experience
15:44
Speaker 2: a show with her. By the way, I had a
15:47
Speaker 2: ticket to see her once and I gave it to
15:49
Speaker 2: someone else, a ticket to go backstage and meet her.
15:53
Speaker 2: I gave it to someone else. You know, in retrospect,
15:58
Speaker 2: probably you know, I'm glad that I did it for
16:01
Speaker 2: someone else before she became the megastar that she is
16:07
Speaker 2: when I gave that up. But anyway, I thought it
16:11
Speaker 2: was an interesting point though, as we take people and
16:15
Speaker 2: we and it Certainly I've talked about this before where
16:19
Speaker 2: I've heard people say things. Religious friends to say things like,
16:22
Speaker 2: you know, Trump is our only hope, and you just go, eh,
16:26
Speaker 2: there's another hope. There's another hope. I mean, I don't
16:31
Speaker 2: see any references to Trump in my Bible, but I
16:35
Speaker 2: do see references in there to another hope. His words
16:37
Speaker 2: are in read. Years ago, Jill and I were talking
16:41
Speaker 2: about the fact that when you make a purchase for
16:43
Speaker 2: something that you're going to use every single day and
16:47
Speaker 2: for many hours every single day, it's worth making sure
16:51
Speaker 2: that you purchase something that's high quality and it's something
16:54
Speaker 2: that's going to last for a really long time. And
16:57
Speaker 2: one of those things that we focused on was bed
17:00
Speaker 2: sheets and bedding, because you spend at least a third
17:05
Speaker 2: of every day in your bed eight hours a day
17:09
Speaker 2: or so, maybe six to seven. It depends on how
17:12
Speaker 2: much you sleep, but you might spend about eight hours
17:14
Speaker 2: a day in the bed, and you want the sheets
17:16
Speaker 2: to feel nice. You want them to last a really
17:20
Speaker 2: long time, because that's the other thing. When you get
17:21
Speaker 2: a nice set of sheets, you want them to last
17:24
Speaker 2: a really long time. Well, let's talk about Cozy Earth.
17:28
Speaker 2: The folks at Cozy Earth have their bamboo sheet sets.
17:31
Speaker 2: They're cooling they're comfortable, and they have an unparalleled softness,
17:36
Speaker 2: and they've got thousands of five star reviews for their products.
17:42
Speaker 2: And not only are we talking about bed sheets, we're
17:45
Speaker 2: also talking about other bedding. We're talking about pajamas. Yes,
17:49
Speaker 2: we're in that time of year where people want to

Speaker 2: get their pajamas so they can have their Christmas pajama
17:55
Speaker 2: photos maybe for their Christmas cards. And these are also
18:00
Speaker 2: so high quality comfortable pajamas. So when you talk about
18:03

Speaker 2: Sean Crusan says, Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I
20:29
Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
20:32
Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
20:37
Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
20:40
Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
20:46
Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
20:49
Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
20:54
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
20:57
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're
20:59
Speaker 2: there you can always ask them questions about some of
21:02
Speaker 2: the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your
21:05
Speaker 2: garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you
21:09
Speaker 2: want it to be, and you need some repair work
21:11
Speaker 2: done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand
21:13
Speaker 2: new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when
21:17
Speaker 2: your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort
21:20
Speaker 2: of insulation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather,
21:24
Speaker 2: sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're
21:28
Speaker 2: looking at a situation where you'd like to add a
21:30
Speaker 2: screen door to your garage door system that you can
21:33
Speaker 2: put down and you can use your garage space as
21:37
Speaker 2: a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you
21:40
Speaker 2: like to work on your own cars in there, or
21:42
Speaker 2: maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd like
21:44
Speaker 2: to be able to open the door up and not
21:46
Speaker 2: invite all the insects in. They can do that for
21:49
Speaker 2: you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
21:52
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
21:54
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
21:57
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help. They do those
22:01
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,
22:04
Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O
22:07
Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after
22:11
Speaker 2: the break Now you see me, Now you don't topped
22:22
Speaker 2: the box office for the weekend twenty one point three million,
22:26
Speaker 2: followed by The Running Man. So you had a sequel,
22:31
Speaker 2: the third installment and the trilogy or whatever it is,
22:34
Speaker 2: and then you had the remake of The Running Man
22:37
Speaker 2: in second place. Predator, bad Lands Regretting You, and Black
22:42
Speaker 2: Phone rounded out the top five, Predator hitting thirteen million,
22:47
Speaker 2: the other two both below five million, So not a lot.
22:50
Speaker 2: I mean, this is that time of year for November,
22:53
Speaker 2: we're not really in a big push for movies. The
22:57
Speaker 2: next big push for the box office for the year
23:01
Speaker 2: comes around Thanksgiving and then obviously on into Christmas and
23:05
Speaker 2: we start getting the movies that are coming out where
23:07
Speaker 2: they have high oscar hopes and all of those things.
23:10
Speaker 2: So so not a huge surprise, but the box office
23:15
Speaker 2: is really still down quite a bit in general, and
23:19
Speaker 2: I think Hollywood is in desperate need for something, and
23:24
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. I don't know what
23:29
Speaker 2: I mean. I guess it's that they need to get
23:31
Speaker 2: the Marvel movies back on track or the d I mean,
23:35
Speaker 2: they did okay over the summer, but I don't know,
23:38
Speaker 2: they just people aren't going to the movies as much,
23:40
Speaker 2: and I'm very curious to see how it's going to
23:42
Speaker 2: go between Thanksgiving and Christmas. So we'll see. Right The
23:50
Speaker 2: LA Olympics schedule starting to come out and they're putting
23:54
Speaker 2: women first basically. Organizers of the twenty twenty eight LA
23:58
Speaker 2: Olympics have announced the women's one hundred meter final will
24:03
Speaker 2: kick off the metal events, with the men's final following
24:07
Speaker 2: the next day. So I guess this is a big
24:11
Speaker 2: decision in that typically the men's one hundred final goes
24:15
Speaker 2: first traditionally and then women comes after, So a change there.
24:22
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know that it's really a
24:25
Speaker 2: significant thing that people are trying to make it out
24:29
Speaker 2: to be, but it is. It's something anyway. So question
24:34
Speaker 2: what's on your bucket list for next year? A new
24:37
Speaker 2: survey says forty three percent of US travelers plan to
24:41
Speaker 2: check a dream destination off of their bucket list next year,
24:46
Speaker 2: and the top of the list. This is interesting because, well,
24:52
Speaker 2: it's to see the northern lights Aurora borealis, and I
24:58
Speaker 2: guess a lot of Americans are craving it. Venture and
25:01
Speaker 2: fifty eight percent of those surveyed said that they would
25:03
Speaker 2: a dream trip would involve seeing a natural wonder. So,
25:07
Speaker 2: you know, seeing Aurora borealis is something that has happened.
25:13
Speaker 2: You know, in the last two years, there's been at
25:16
Speaker 2: least three major instances of it getting down very far south,
25:22
Speaker 2: like down into Florida, Puerto Rico once. So it's kind
25:25
Speaker 2: of interesting that there have been opportunities to do that
25:28
Speaker 2: no matter where you lived in the US. Last week,
25:31
Speaker 2: all fifty states had a chance to see northern lights.
25:35
Speaker 2: So fascinating when you think about how many areas of longitude,
25:43
Speaker 2: the latitude of coming down, but the longitude as far
25:45
Speaker 2: as spanning the Earth, it's pretty interesting. But I don't know,
25:48
Speaker 2: maybe they're thinking they'd like to get up high enough
25:52
Speaker 2: in latitude to see northern lights, you know, the green ones,
25:57
Speaker 2: the ones that are closer to the north, and maybe
26:00
Speaker 2: that's what they're talking about. Visiting the Grand Canyon, the
26:04
Speaker 2: Roman Colisseum, going on a safari, swimming in natural hot springs,
26:09
Speaker 2: whale watching, visiting Victoria Falls, the Great Wall of China,
26:15
Speaker 2: snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef, and visiting Machu Pichu. The
26:20
Speaker 2: top ten things for America's bucket list kind of interesting.
26:26
Speaker 2: By coincidence of all of this. In twenty twenty five,
26:30
Speaker 2: we have managed to see northern lights my family. We
26:34
Speaker 2: have been able to do a little whale watching when
26:39
Speaker 2: we were in Sydney. Nothing up close, but from a
26:42
Speaker 2: distance we were able to see whales in the distance
26:47
Speaker 2: on a hike we were taking, just kind of a
26:49
Speaker 2: long walk in Sydney, and then also snorkeling the Great
26:55
Speaker 2: Barrier Reef. We did three things on this list of
26:58
Speaker 2: ten this year. Not bragging, just saying it's, you know,
27:03
Speaker 2: kind of cool that that happened. And I thought it
27:05
Speaker 2: was kind of cool that we saw too, you know,
27:07
Speaker 2: wonders of the world in the year, but throw in
27:09
Speaker 2: the whale watching aspect of it's pretty good. All right,
27:13
Speaker 2: So Buddy Fluffy common names people might use for their pets,
27:19
Speaker 2: but apparently new data by Rover they say that the
27:24
Speaker 2: top trending pet names for this year Elfie at the
27:30
Speaker 2: top of the list for a puppy. Some of the
27:34
Speaker 2: I mean, Mufasa is in here, Oswald, Jellybean, Brookie, Gibbey,
27:41
Speaker 2: some interesting names in there. As far as kittens. Tater
27:45
Speaker 2: is at the top of the list. What not that
27:49
Speaker 2: that's a bad name it's just a crazy name for
27:51
Speaker 2: it to be that high on the list. Milton Gatsby
27:56
Speaker 2: Snowball is in there. Eleanor the only name it's in
27:59
Speaker 2: both this Caesar. I think that's the only name that
28:03
Speaker 2: is in both lists. So it's kind of interesting. Well,
28:05

28:09
