- 0:00Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Thursday morning, eighteenth day of September. I'm Wes, thanks for
- 0:14Speaker 2: joining me. What a week, I mean, full week that
- 0:24Speaker 2: it has been. What a ride it's been in the
- 0:28Speaker 2: last seven days or so. Still a lot to try
- 0:34Speaker 2: to grasp, a lot to swallow, and now on the
- 0:37Speaker 2: heels of the I guess charges actually being filed now
- 0:43Speaker 2: against the alleged shooter. Not big on names say him sometimes.
- 0:50Speaker 2: I mean, we know the name. We've seen his mugshot
- 0:54Speaker 2: on TV a thousand times. Tyler Robinson is name twenty
- 0:57Speaker 2: two and we have the text messages. It certainly seemed
- 1:01Speaker 2: to be more than enough if they're able to be
- 1:05Speaker 2: verified as the confession for the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
- 1:11Speaker 2: And that's a big, big part of why the week
- 1:16Speaker 2: was what it was. We have to also address. There's
- 1:19Speaker 2: another thing that's been going on now for a while.
- 1:22Speaker 2: I guess almost a year back to December when Luigi Mangioni,
- 1:29Speaker 2: the accused shooter of the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
- 1:34Speaker 2: That was December fourth of last year, cold blood on
- 1:37Speaker 2: the street and the guy Mangioni was a manhunt. It
- 1:42Speaker 2: lasted about five days. They were able to bring him
- 1:44Speaker 2: in in Pennsylvania, Altuna, Pennsylvania. So that's been part of
- 1:51Speaker 2: this week because he's also been in court. Part of
- 1:56Speaker 2: the charges against him were dropped, were reduced, I guess
- 1:59Speaker 2: the tears threat aspect of all of this. There's still
- 2:04Speaker 2: federal things to come. There's more going on here than
- 2:07Speaker 2: just a liberal area in New York looking for a
- 2:15Speaker 2: way to reduce things and get this guy back out
- 2:19Speaker 2: on the street, because that's what we do. We let
- 2:21Speaker 2: people back on the street and give him a second
- 2:23Speaker 2: chance to or nineteen or fourteen chances to do it
- 2:27Speaker 2: again until it's captured on video on a subway or
- 2:30Speaker 2: a bus or wherever we can all see it, and
- 2:33Speaker 2: then we go, oh, well, that's horrible that that happened.
- 2:35Speaker 2: How did something like this happen? Well, we've failed him
- 2:37Speaker 2: from a mental health standpoint, so which, of course, that's
- 2:42Speaker 2: all been part of the month, right, It's just been
- 2:45Speaker 2: It's been a tough September in general. I have talked
- 2:50Speaker 2: a great length since December about this Luigi Mangione situation.
- 2:55Speaker 2: And I expressed then my disgust for people and human
- 3:00Speaker 2: beings in my life that thought that this was okay
- 3:03Speaker 2: to murder this guy CEO of a company that probably
- 3:10Speaker 2: statistically had zero impact on their lives at any point.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Maybe they're part of United Healthcare. I don't know, maybe
- 3:18Speaker 2: there was some impact there. But even then, I've had
- 3:23Speaker 2: companies that have done me wrong. I've had situations where
- 3:29Speaker 2: the DEI impact on me on my job. Many times,
- 3:33Speaker 2: I've had that impact. I've had companies that I worked
- 3:36Speaker 2: for that, you know, said some unbelievably racist things about
- 3:42Speaker 2: people that got jobs instead of me. I mean, the
- 3:48Speaker 2: very nature of what they said was incredibly racist, but
- 3:51Speaker 2: they gave the person the job for a very racist reason.
- 3:56Speaker 2: I've encountered that more than once, and never once did
- 4:01Speaker 2: I think, oh, my gosh, I need to you know,
- 4:05Speaker 2: execute the people responsible for that. No, you go on
- 4:08Speaker 2: with life. It stinks and you think this is awful
- 4:11Speaker 2: and this isn't fair. So when you've been the victim
- 4:15Speaker 2: of that, when something comes along, like a new president
- 4:18Speaker 2: that says we're going to start rooting out some of
- 4:20Speaker 2: this DEI stuff on the national level, We're going to
- 4:23Speaker 2: take it out of the federal government, and you think, well, good,
- 4:26Speaker 2: other people won't have to go through what I went
- 4:28Speaker 2: through in these particular situations. And then, of course, you
- 4:34Speaker 2: know for even thinking that you're ostracized, you're like, oh,
- 4:38Speaker 2: how can you think that? Of course, DEI is wonderful,
- 4:40Speaker 2: it's the greatest thing. Ever, you can't criticize it at all,
- 4:43Speaker 2: even if it's directly impacted you, and honestly in some
- 4:47Speaker 2: of the most racist ways possible. Imagine not getting a
- 4:54Speaker 2: job and being told that someone else got the job
- 4:59Speaker 2: because they figured I was less likely to sue the
- 5:03Speaker 2: company if I didn't get the job. Who's that more
- 5:08Speaker 2: racist against? In the name of DEI them? Right, I
- 5:12Speaker 2: mean the person who got the job, the people who
- 5:16Speaker 2: were put in a position to have the job instead
- 5:19Speaker 2: of me. That's a very racist thing to say in
- 5:24Speaker 2: the name of DEI. Yeah, that happened more than once.
- 5:29Speaker 2: So I can't sit back and say when people say, well,
- 5:33Speaker 2: DEI is great, and I can tell you I can
- 5:35Speaker 2: give you in my example of where one it greatly
- 5:38Speaker 2: impacted me, and then two it was very racist to
- 5:42Speaker 2: the people that it was supposedly giving diversity and equity
- 5:47Speaker 2: and inclusion to the most racist of ways. One of
- 5:52Speaker 2: those examples, by the way, immediately involved multiple phone calls
- 5:57Speaker 2: from my previous employer to ask me questions about how
- 6:01Speaker 2: to do the job that the people who were still
- 6:04Speaker 2: there were supposed to be doing because they didn't realize
- 6:06Speaker 2: they didn't know how to do it. But I digress.
- 6:12Speaker 2: At no point did I think what I should enact
- 6:15Speaker 2: the death penalty on anybody. That was never crossed my mind.
- 6:18Speaker 2: There was never a point where I thought someone deserves
- 6:21Speaker 2: to die. And there are people in my life that
- 6:24Speaker 2: think that they should celebrate Luigi Mangioni for executing a
- 6:29Speaker 2: guy in cold blood in the street and his family
- 6:32Speaker 2: growing up without him, his children growing up without him,
- 6:36Speaker 2: his wife having to live without him. Because rich people
- 6:42Speaker 2: are bad. That's the reason. That's why I attend Dragon
- 6:48Speaker 2: Con every year. I love the convention. And of course
- 6:50Speaker 2: there were a few people there that were dressed up
- 6:52Speaker 2: like this guy that was a costume to them comically,
- 6:57Speaker 2: that was supposed to be a costume, a Luigi from
- 7:01Speaker 2: Super Mario Brothers hat, and then everything else dressed like
- 7:04Speaker 2: that guy. Now, that's not reflective of all of the
- 7:08Speaker 2: people at Dragon Con. I'm just saying there were a
- 7:10Speaker 2: few people who for some reason thought that was an
- 7:12Speaker 2: okay thing to do, that it was okay to dress
- 7:17Speaker 2: up like a murderer and walk around. And I'm not
- 7:22Speaker 2: talking about like, hey, I'm going to dress up like this.
- 7:27Speaker 2: It was it was in the name of like, hey,
- 7:30Speaker 2: you know they we're holding signs that reflected his mantra
- 7:36Speaker 2: about killing billionaires. So that's been part of this week.
- 7:40Speaker 2: There were people that were there celebrating. There's still people celebrating,
- 7:43Speaker 2: and some of the same people celebrating Luigi Mangioni are
- 7:47Speaker 2: the ones celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk. And they
- 7:51Speaker 2: don't have a hero. They don't have a well I
- 7:52Speaker 2: guess maybe they do. I don't know we're going to
- 7:54Speaker 2: get to this point where this killer, this accused killer
- 7:59Speaker 2: of Charlie Kirk, becomes some kind of a hero. I
- 8:01Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know if we're going to get there.
- 8:02Speaker 2: I don't know. It's a sick place. But watching the
- 8:05Speaker 2: people walk out of the courtroom yesterday, smug people outside
- 8:09Speaker 2: celebrating once the charges were changed, and it's insanity. But
- 8:15Speaker 2: I don't know this Tyler Robinson become one of those
- 8:17Speaker 2: folk heroes. I don't know. So that's what we got,
- 8:21Speaker 2: that's who we have, and we're still still a long
- 8:23Speaker 2: stream of I think most of the ha haha, Charlie
- 8:28Speaker 2: Kirk is dead. People have kind of seem, at least
- 8:32Speaker 2: in my world, have toned it down a little bit.
- 8:34Speaker 2: There's a lot more of the butt people. And I
- 8:39Speaker 2: take a lot of issue with that, because there were
- 8:41Speaker 2: a lot of the butt people back in December and
- 8:44Speaker 2: into January about the Mangioni guy, and there's no butt,
- 8:51Speaker 2: there's no justification for murdering someone. We've gone through this
- 8:54Speaker 2: thing where we've had this growing consensus of people who
- 8:58Speaker 2: say it's okay to murder billionaires, okay to kill billionaires.
- 9:01Speaker 2: We've had the people that have gone after obviously tried
- 9:04Speaker 2: to assassinate Trump, They've tried to go after Elon Musk.
- 9:08Speaker 2: There's been people saying, is Elon Musk going to be next?
- 9:11Speaker 2: How are we going to get to him? How do
- 9:12Speaker 2: we get to Ben Shapiro, How do we get to
- 9:14Speaker 2: certain figures on the right, you know, how do we
- 9:18Speaker 2: do that? It's a sick place that we're at. It's
- 9:23Speaker 2: a sick place that we are and even some of
- 9:26Speaker 2: the people who I think are trying their best to
- 9:29Speaker 2: put a religious spin on it and say but and
- 9:34Speaker 2: then go into some your colors are clear that you're
- 9:38Speaker 2: seeing this through blue colored glasses and you're trying to
- 9:41Speaker 2: put this butt in there to somehow justify any of
- 9:44Speaker 2: the actions to it. And just be careful. It's a
- 9:48Speaker 2: really fine line that you're walking. I've heard people say,
- 9:52Speaker 2: you know, how can we say that Charlie Kirk is
- 9:54Speaker 2: a martyr? Look just you know your phone has a
- 9:58Speaker 2: dictionary in it, Google, look up what martyr is? I mean,
- 10:03Speaker 2: by definition, Charlie Kirk is a martyr. You don't have
- 10:05Speaker 2: to like it, you don't have to like what he
- 10:08Speaker 2: stood for, you don't have to like any of that.
- 10:12Speaker 2: But that's by definition what a martyr is. I mean
- 10:15Speaker 2: someone who dies for speaking up something that they believe in.
- 10:22Speaker 2: That's why Charlie Kirk died. We know that. Now. We've
- 10:26Speaker 2: seen people on the left try to say that this
- 10:31Speaker 2: alleged shooter as a maga person. That's not true. We
- 10:35Speaker 2: can stop all that. That's really neat. We knew that
- 10:38Speaker 2: pretty quickly that that was not the case. I think
- 10:42Speaker 2: as the information was coming in very quickly to the
- 10:45Speaker 2: media people were getting a pretty good grasp of who
- 10:47Speaker 2: this guy was. I don't think anybody would have, you know,
- 10:50Speaker 2: made a huge wager that he himself was, you know,
- 10:54Speaker 2: dating a guy who's been living as a woman. I
- 10:57Speaker 2: don't know that that was really on anybody's bingo card,
- 11:00Speaker 2: but there you go. And I don't think that's an
- 11:04Speaker 2: overly shocking thing that you know. I've heard some people say, well,
- 11:09Speaker 2: he was waiting for him to talk about trans stuff
- 11:11Speaker 2: before he shot him. If this guy could hear and
- 11:15Speaker 2: I don't know what the speaker system was like at
- 11:16Speaker 2: this event, but if he's up on the roof of
- 11:18Speaker 2: that building and he's listening to Charlie Kirk waiting on
- 11:20Speaker 2: him to say a certain word, he's got some sharp ears.
- 11:26Speaker 2: But I've heard people make that accusation. Another thing, just quickly,
- 11:30Speaker 2: and I just want to say this, all the people
- 11:31Speaker 2: who think that they well, I know that somebody gave
- 11:34Speaker 2: a hand signal and somebody did this, and there was
- 11:36Speaker 2: a guy there and they pointed and they did that,
- 11:37Speaker 2: and all these conspiracy people you can stop too. You're
- 11:43Speaker 2: certainly allowed to have an opinion, but this every time
- 11:46Speaker 2: something happens, the conspiracy people think they've got this all
- 11:50Speaker 2: worked out. They know everything about it before the details
- 11:53Speaker 2: come in, and they can tell you that fifteen people involved,
- 11:56Speaker 2: and they know the guy who did this, and it's
- 11:59Speaker 2: always ends up coming back to, you know, some of
- 12:02Speaker 2: this dark web stuff where oh yeah, but Tom Hanks
- 12:05Speaker 2: eats babies and that's what and just stop, let them
- 12:11Speaker 2: let them bury the guy. Before you do that, just
- 12:14Speaker 2: go back to your flat earth stuff and can can
- 12:17Speaker 2: we just just take a break, just let it all
- 12:22Speaker 2: settle down a little bit, that's all. You want to
- 12:25Speaker 2: say something positive about Charlie Kirk, go ahead. You want
- 12:32Speaker 2: to come up with all the conspiracy stuff and all
- 12:34Speaker 2: the reasons why you know that this this guy, the
- 12:37Speaker 2: person they've accused, he's the patsy. He is a patsy.
- 12:41Speaker 2: I think a lot of folks on the left they
- 12:43Speaker 2: know that they've got some of these useful idiots that
- 12:46Speaker 2: are just out there for him. And I don't mean
- 12:49Speaker 2: to say that everyone on the left feels like they're
- 12:52Speaker 2: charging the battery on these people for them to go
- 12:55Speaker 2: do this. I think that they don't care if it happens,
- 12:58Speaker 2: but I don't think that they're in intentionally trying to
- 13:00Speaker 2: create this. I think they say these really hateful and
- 13:03Speaker 2: harmful things during election seasons because for some reason they're
- 13:08Speaker 2: convinced that people in the center are going to say,
- 13:10Speaker 2: what's this? They said, he's a fascist? Well, I can't
- 13:13Speaker 2: vote for that guy. He's a fascist. What's this about?
- 13:17Speaker 2: A felony? Thirty four felonies. I can't vote for this guy.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Threat to democracy. I can't vote for him. The bald
- 13:28Speaker 2: lady on MSNBC said, I wasn't supposed to vote for him.
- 13:31Speaker 2: I'm not going to vote for him. How could I
- 13:33Speaker 2: do that? It's not how it works anymore. Sadly, it
- 13:39Speaker 2: could start happening that way again, though it could work
- 13:41Speaker 2: that way easily. Well, we got to be vigilant about
- 13:43Speaker 2: all this stuff. No offense to joy read. I don't
- 13:46Speaker 2: know what the hair situation is. I'm sorry. I'm not
- 13:49Speaker 2: trying to be meet I'm just tired, tired. Can we
- 13:53Speaker 2: all get just a little bit of we're all tired
- 13:56Speaker 2: after a week of all of this, My goodness. So
- 14:03Speaker 2: as the words that are chosen by folks on the
- 14:06Speaker 2: left are intentional, and they're hurtful, and they're harmful. I've
- 14:10Speaker 2: said before. You know, I think there should be consequences
- 14:13Speaker 2: if you call somebody racist and you can't back it up.
- 14:17Speaker 2: I mean, I think there should be. Don't we don't
- 14:19Speaker 2: do the whole You know, you get somebody for libel
- 14:21Speaker 2: if they say, oh, this person's racist. All right, let's
- 14:26Speaker 2: get some evidence, present your case in the public square.
- 14:29Speaker 2: Why is this person racist? Well, another thing you just
- 14:31Speaker 2: said constitutes being racist, So you know, then we go
- 14:36Speaker 2: at them with something I don't know, some kind of
- 14:39Speaker 2: a civil case against him. Shouldn't we be able to
- 14:41Speaker 2: do that? Shouldn't that be there? He's a fascist? What
- 14:44Speaker 2: makes him a fascist? I don't even know what that means.
- 14:48Speaker 2: I just know that I've heard people say he's a fascist,
- 14:50Speaker 2: so I'm gonna say it. All right, Well there's a
- 14:54Speaker 2: medio here's You're fine. I'm not a big government guy.
- 14:58Speaker 2: I'm really not for that. I just think we should
- 15:01Speaker 2: find some sort of way to check ourselves when we
- 15:04Speaker 2: decide that we're going to call people names and make
- 15:06Speaker 2: accusations about them. Because see what happens is the political
- 15:10Speaker 2: leadership will say it because there's no consequences to them
- 15:14Speaker 2: for saying it. I'll give you this example. It hasn't
- 15:18Speaker 2: anything to do with a conservative at all. Kamala Harris
- 15:21Speaker 2: was running against Joe Biden the primaries before she failed
- 15:25Speaker 2: miserably and dropped out, and she said a lot of
- 15:29Speaker 2: nasty things about Joe Biden. She called him racist and
- 15:32Speaker 2: sexist and all these things. And then after she dropped
- 15:39Speaker 2: out and we got to where okay, it was clear.
- 15:42Speaker 2: It was clear the fix was in. Joe Biden was
- 15:46Speaker 2: going to be their weekend at Bernie's President and they
- 15:49Speaker 2: were just looking for a vice president who would be
- 15:52Speaker 2: equally incompetent to just kind of be there. And they
- 15:56Speaker 2: had said, we're going to pick a black woman that
- 15:57Speaker 2: be the vice president, and they looked at some other women.
- 16:02Speaker 2: Some of them were a joke. Some of them I
- 16:05Speaker 2: think would have actually been pretty decent vice presidents. I've
- 16:09Speaker 2: told you before I thought Tammy Duckworth would have been
- 16:11Speaker 2: a great pick for him. But that's not who he picked,
- 16:14Speaker 2: and I don't think that's who any of the people
- 16:16Speaker 2: behind the scenes wanted. They were really looking for somebody
- 16:19Speaker 2: who was going to be just as incompetent as him,
- 16:24Speaker 2: and they picked Kamala Harris. And all the reports were
- 16:28Speaker 2: that Joe Biden didn't like Kamala Harris because of the
- 16:32Speaker 2: nasty things that she said about him in that debate,
- 16:37Speaker 2: and when they finally asked her later, what about the
- 16:39Speaker 2: things that you said about Joe Biden, And she said,
- 16:42Speaker 2: oh's a debate, it's politics. It was a debate. That's
- 16:46Speaker 2: what you do. That lays it out for you right there.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Doesn't matter what you say, doesn't matter how hateful it is,
- 16:53Speaker 2: doesn't even matter if it's true. I mean, the things
- 16:57Speaker 2: that she was saying about Joe Biden were very spot on,
- 17:00Speaker 2: accurate and true, but it doesn't matter. You can say
- 17:03Speaker 2: anything in the context of a debate. You can say
- 17:05Speaker 2: anything in the context of while I'm running for office,
- 17:08Speaker 2: I want people to vote for me. I can say anything.
- 17:11Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? You can say anything, even
- 17:16Speaker 2: if it means calling someone a Nazi or a fascist
- 17:19Speaker 2: or Hitler or any of those things, the kind of
- 17:21Speaker 2: things that would make people say, this person's so hateful
- 17:24Speaker 2: they don't deserve to live. They want you to take
- 17:26Speaker 2: the humanity away. It's the justification of slavery for thousands
- 17:31Speaker 2: of years on the planet. These people are beneath us,
- 17:36Speaker 2: so we can treat them however we want to. They're
- 17:39Speaker 2: not even either subhuman. What's the justification for the Holocaust?
- 17:48Speaker 2: Hitler thought Jewish people were beneath them, So yeah, you
- 17:54Speaker 2: can execute them, kill them. They're not either subhuman. As
- 18:00Speaker 2: we walk around now in society in America in twenty
- 18:03Speaker 2: twenty five, and we talk about how billionaires aren't human.
- 18:08Speaker 2: We talk about how people who preach the gospel on
- 18:12Speaker 2: college campuses and talk about conservative ideals, they're beneath human.
- 18:18Speaker 2: Therefore they can be shot, they can be executed, and
- 18:20Speaker 2: people can say, well, God's good, that's what should have happened.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Not human, CEO of a healthcare company, not human. What
- 18:33Speaker 2: does that guy know about our problems? He deserves to die.
- 18:35Speaker 2: And I still know people who are praising the Luigi guy.
- 18:39Speaker 2: They get on social media and they think it's hilarious.
- 18:41Speaker 2: They think this is the best thing in the world.
- 18:44Speaker 2: The guy just got executed. They don't know anything about
- 18:47Speaker 2: this guy. Most people don't know anything about Charlie Kirk either.
- 18:52Speaker 2: This is my challenge, This is my challenge to the
- 18:54Speaker 2: people who are just hearing the things about Charlie Kirk.
- 18:57Speaker 2: Just he's dead. Now, just take a minute to listen
- 19:01Speaker 2: to some of the things go back and listen to
- 19:02Speaker 2: some of his videos videos from the last two three years.
- 19:06Speaker 2: Tell me if what he's saying in there is hateful
- 19:08Speaker 2: rhetoric or is it just something that you don't politically
- 19:10Speaker 2: agree with. Listen specifically to some of the things that
- 19:14Speaker 2: he said about his faith. Listen to him defend gay
- 19:19Speaker 2: people that work for him to people that are saying,
- 19:22Speaker 2: how can you let those gay people work for you?
- 19:24Speaker 2: They're gay? Listen to him defend that. Listen to him
- 19:30Speaker 2: explain how my faith tells me this about homosexuality, but
- 19:34Speaker 2: I don't think that people should be treated differently. Listen
- 19:38Speaker 2: to some of the things that he said that I
- 19:40Speaker 2: don't think that you realize that he ever said. Take
- 19:44Speaker 2: a minute to do that. Just take a minute hear
- 19:49Speaker 2: what he had to say and tell me that he's
- 19:52Speaker 2: really as bad as what the talking heads convinced you

- 21:48Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
- 21:51Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
- 21:57Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
- 22:00Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
- 22:04Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
- 22:08Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
- 22:10Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
- 22:13Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
- 22:15Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
- 22:19Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
- 22:21Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
- 22:24Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
- 22:28Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
- 22:31Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got with colder or
- 22:34Speaker 2: warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
- 22:38Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
- 22:40Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
- 22:44Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
- 22:46Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
- 22:50Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
- 22:52Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
- 22:55Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
- 22:56Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
- 22:59Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
- 23:02Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
- 23:05Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
- 23:08Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
- 23:11Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty

- 23:22Speaker 2: Right after the break, well, we've gotten through the summer.
- 23:33Speaker 2: We're knocking on the door of what eventually becomes proposal.
- 23:38Speaker 2: Season kind of starts in the fall, I mean the
- 23:41Speaker 2: burr months, I guess technically, and we're in one of those.
- 23:44Speaker 2: But you get into the fall, and then you get
- 23:46Speaker 2: into over the holidays and that's when people have a
- 23:51Speaker 2: tendency to get a ring and put a ring on it.
- 23:56Speaker 2: And often it's the holidays. Often it's maybe a Thanksgiving
- 24:00Speaker 2: being a gathering of family. Sometimes it's a gathering of
- 24:02Speaker 2: family and friends at Christmas, whatever it is. So there
- 24:07Speaker 2: is now the folks that a diamond is forever. They
- 24:10Speaker 2: created what they call a proposal Destination Index and they
- 24:14Speaker 2: have ranked the thirty most romantic spots to propose And
- 24:22Speaker 2: I guess these are all within the US. And they
- 24:24Speaker 2: say cost, accessibility, instagram, worthiness, surprise factor, overall vibe. And
- 24:30Speaker 2: here's the top five they've got in the US. Okay,
- 24:34Speaker 2: they say the Garden of Phoenix in Chicago is at
- 24:37Speaker 2: the top of the list. It's a serene Japanese garden
- 24:39Speaker 2: with cherry blossoms, coy ponds, peaceful paths, and ideal for
- 24:43Speaker 2: a quiet romantic moment. They say that, sorry, and I'm not.
- 24:50Speaker 2: I haven't been to Hawaii. I don't know all the
- 24:53Speaker 2: destination spots, but it's Kuwana al Beach. I guess I
- 24:58Speaker 2: don't know it's on the Big Island. Sorry, you're probably
- 25:01Speaker 2: groaning or rolling your eyes at me blowing it, but
- 25:04Speaker 2: that's my best shot at pronouncing it. So basically, it's
- 25:08Speaker 2: just known to be a gorgeous beach, white sand, beautiful
- 25:11Speaker 2: water trees, and one of the most picturesque beaches, and
- 25:15Speaker 2: I guess it has a high instagram worthiness factor on
- 25:19Speaker 2: that Viskaya Museum and Gardens in Miami, the Many Glacier
- 25:24Speaker 2: Hotel at Glacier National Park in Montana, and the White
- 25:28Speaker 2: Sands National Park in New Mexico, or the top five.
- 25:30Speaker 2: So if you're thinking about a proposal, these are the
- 25:36Speaker 2: places that the folks in the know, I guess, or
- 25:39Speaker 2: at least the folks that have been paid to tell
- 25:41Speaker 2: you to go to these places. I don't really know
- 25:44Speaker 2: exactly how all of this works. I do like that
- 25:47Speaker 2: their website does, in fact list their methodology for all
- 25:52Speaker 2: of it, so you got that. But anyway, I mean,
- 25:56Speaker 2: you know, there's a lot of the typical kind of
- 25:57Speaker 2: places that you would think are on there, whether it's
- 26:01Speaker 2: Niagara Falls, whether it is trying to see what something
- 26:06Speaker 2: that's kind of nearby US would be. But anyway, they
- 26:10Speaker 2: do have some places I guess listed in other parts
- 26:12Speaker 2: of the world, but those were the top five within
- 26:16Speaker 2: the US. According to a new survey, nearly seventy percent
- 26:20Speaker 2: of Americans say they experienced traveled dysmorphia, that feeling that
- 26:24Speaker 2: they haven't seen enough of the world compared to others.
- 26:28Speaker 2: I would think instagram worthiness has a big play in
- 26:31Speaker 2: that as well, as you see the photos and you go, well,
- 26:36Speaker 2: what about me? I want to go where they just went,
- 26:40Speaker 2: and people do that all the time. Forty eight percent
- 26:43Speaker 2: say that they're satisfied with how much they've traveled. Social
- 26:47Speaker 2: media fueling that sense of inadequacy. See Thirty five percent
- 26:51Speaker 2: say that they see travel posts from friends and family
- 26:53Speaker 2: and makes them feel like they're missing out. Thirty two
- 26:55Speaker 2: percent feel the same after talking with friends about their trips.
- 27:00Speaker 2: The feeling becomes even stronger among gen z, with forty
- 27:03Speaker 2: seven percent say that influencers and YouTube content contributes to
- 27:08Speaker 2: their travel dysmorphia, and fifty five percent admit that social
- 27:13Speaker 2: media makes them feel like they're failing I guess in
- 27:17Speaker 2: general and falling behind in life. That's not good. This
- 27:22Speaker 2: is not a good testimony to the social media, is it.
- 27:26Speaker 2: I mean not at all. That's not good at all.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Let's this is a real dark turn, real fast at
- 27:33Speaker 2: the end. There didn't it? I So if you know
- 27:36Speaker 2: the lebooboo craze or whatever they're called. Let's talk about
- 27:40Speaker 2: this person who really really wanted laboo boos. A twenty
- 27:45Speaker 2: six year old Russian woman named Karina sold her soul,
- 27:51Speaker 2: signing a contract in her own blood for one hundred
- 27:55Speaker 2: thousand rubles And with that money, by the way, that's
- 27:59Speaker 2: eleven hun undred and eighty dollars. Seems like a pretty
- 28:03Speaker 2: good deal for the soul purchaser, I would think. But
- 28:07Speaker 2: she is getting into some dark stuff as well, isn't it.
- 28:10Speaker 2: She bought a collection of labooboo dolls and a concert ticket.
- 28:14Speaker 2: The offer came from a marketing expert named Dmitri, who
- 28:19Speaker 2: posted on the Russian social network Telegram saying he'd pay
- 28:22Speaker 2: anyone willing to sell their soul. He didn't expect anyone
- 28:26Speaker 2: to take him seriously, but Karina did. He followed through,
- 28:29Speaker 2: even posting a photo of the signed contract with her
- 28:32Speaker 2: personal info blacked out. Well, she doesn't own it anymore, right,
- 28:37Speaker 2: Dmitri says he has no idea what he'll do with
- 28:39Speaker 2: this newly purchased soul. It was meant to be a
- 28:42Speaker 2: social experiment. Here's what you can do. You can wash
- 28:46Speaker 2: your hands of all of this evilness. That's what you
- 28:48Speaker 2: can do, Dmitri and maybe I don't know, give her
- 28:53Speaker 2: back her soul. That's probably a good step in the
- 28:55Speaker 2: right direction. Just saying that'll do it for this Thursday
- 29:00Speaker 2: edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons.
- 29:03Speaker 2: Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
