  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, second day of October. I'm Wes, thanks for
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: joining me. We are less than five weeks to election day.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: We've crossed that hump. We crossed it yesterday. The countdown
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: is on. I guess when we get down to four weeks,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: we can really start to feel like what's gonna get intense,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: and then maybe we'll start to feel like we're purging things.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Last night was the VP debate. I'm gonna be completely
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: honest with you. I went to bed early last night.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I did not watch it. I have it to watch
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: today and we can talk about that a little bit
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: more later in the week. If there was really anything important,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I didn't check it out at all this morning, and
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I didn't stay up to watch it at all. So
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I'll dive into that maybe a little bit tomorrow. If
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: it's relevant. There may be a little little bit. I
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: don't know. I really I really didn't check it out
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: at all, and I think most Americans probably did not either.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know that this is really that important, but
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: they have to check the box and say, look what
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: we did, This is what you might have if if
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: you know, if you elect the presidential candidate that they're
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: attached to, and something goes wrong, you know you might
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: have them to deal with. But that's really the whole
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: purpose of it. But the expectation, of course going into
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: it was that you know, you were going to have
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: one guy in walls who's got a lot of explaining
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: to do, and then you got a guy in vance
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: who would probably serve as the attack dog. I would
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: imagine that's how it went last night, But we can
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: talk more about that later in the week. Like I said,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I went to bed early, wasn't feeling great yesterday, so
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I crashed and I did not stay up to watch
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: it at all. So a couple of things I do
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: want to talk about today, and I was planning to
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: talk about this maybe tomorrow. So I'll just kind of
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: flip flop because I was at least going to address
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: some of the VP debate if it was worth even
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: diving into. And I could probably guess. Honestly, I could
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: probably guess how it went. I got a fair just
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: you know, as far as predicting how it might have gone,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I think I'm probably pretty accurate. But anyway, I won't
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: do that we'll talk about that later in the week.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: All right, so let's talk about well, I guess it
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: would be tomorrow. I mean, that would be the day
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: to do it. I want to talk about free speech.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about where we are in this
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: country when it comes to free speech. And I don't
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: think that I need to tell anyone listening to this
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: show that it is very important that we you can
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: take if you want to sit back and you want
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: to say that there are other aspects of our Bill
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: of rights that you've got issue with. Okay, there's people
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: who take issue with the Second Amendment. Right, there's people
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: who say, you know, we don't we don't need those
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: That's an ancient thing, that's, you know, hundreds of years ago.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: That might have been relevant, it's not relevant anymore. That's
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: a conversation that I think you can have a two
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: way conversation on, right. I think there's elements certainly of
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: that where you can talk. Now I understand what the
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: founders intended with the Second Amendment. It wasn't about having
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: a rifle for hunting. That's not really what it was about.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: It wasn't even just about having it for self defense.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: That's really not in the big picture, it was, but
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: that's not exactly what the intention of that was. It
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: was about trying to be able to preserve the others,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and I think they put a focus on what they
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: decided would be the First Amendment as being important and
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: then understanding that that might be the hardest one to protect,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: so then you got the second Amendment would be the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: way to protect that. And of course there's others at
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: play down the list, and there's some of those others
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: that maybe you might say, well, I'd like to take
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: a I don't know that this is important, or I
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: don't know that and if you want to argue those,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: you knock yourself out. The one that I think that
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: we should all be uniform on is that First Amendment.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: The importance of everything that falls under that, specifically our
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: ability to express ourselves, our ability to uh, you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: to worship as we desire, but our ability to express ourselves,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: our ability to assemble peacefully, our for a free press,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: all the things that we need to exist for us
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to truly have actual freedom. If we can't express ourselves,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: then do we even have anything that we're trying to
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: hold on to. If we give that up, you know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: how important is that, How important is that to us
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: as a country as a people for this idea that
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: is America. And I would argue that it's the most important,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and I think that's why they made it the first one.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I think it's everything that's laid out in there, because
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: they could have had more than ten amendments in the
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Bill rights, and they could have broken some of those
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: things down, but they felt like they all belonged together
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: in one group, and they were a big part of
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: why people came here and settled and why they wanted
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: to get away from where they were before. It was important.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: And now here we are twenty twenty four and we
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: are looking at a situation where we have not just
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Americans in general, you get some that would say that
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the first amendments not important. There's a certain amount of
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: irony in that in that that's obviously wrong and it's dumb,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: but I respect their right to say it. They, however,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: don't respect the rights of others to say things that
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: they think are dumb or wrong. We just and it's
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: when it's just kind of average Americans that say things
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and they make statements, oh, you should have to have
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: a license to have a child. You know, one of
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: those arguments, we should have laws that say that if
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I can see your underwear at all, you go to jail,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: or you get you know, taken out and executed, or
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: you know, there's people that have these ridiculous like because
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: they just don't want to see somebody's underwear. I remember
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: having this discussion with someone who it was in a
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: leadership role. I want to say exactly who it was,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: but it was someone who was in a leadership role
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: in our community, and they said to me, you know,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: it should be against the law. You know, if I
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: can see your underwear, then you should go to jail.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Don't you think so? And I said, no, not at all.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think so at all. And I said, what
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: you don't you want to see people's underwear when they're
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: walking around. I said no, no, no, no, you're you're
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: playing this debate in a different angle. Just because I
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: said I don't think they should go to jail if
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: their underwear is visible, that's different than saying I want
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: to see their underwear, because that's one of the little
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: games that we play. And I said, in fact, i'd
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: like fewer laws. That's not a law that I think
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: is important. Now, Do I want to walk around and
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: see people's underwear? Have I been in situation? I had
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: someone recently doing work in my home, and you know,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I saw almost all of his underwear while he was working,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and it's I didn't need to see that. I didn't
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: want to see that. It's in my home. I felt
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: like my home, my sacred place, had been violated. Did
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I think he should go to jail for it? No,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: it wasn't intentional. He just happened to have on pants
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: without a belt that day. That's all it was. That's
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: all it was going on. We can disagree with what
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: we think is right and wrong. We can disagree with,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: you know, what we think should be said out loud.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: People can say I have a license to have a kid. No,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: there's no real way to enforce that. How are you
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: going to enforce that? That doesn't make any sense. Long
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: list of reasons why that's a bad idea. But they
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: should have a right to say it. They should have
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: a right to say it. That's important. We have leadership
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: in this country who does not seem to support the
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: first and anymore. And this is where a lot of
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: people said, if you start scratching out, even if it's
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: just in your own belief system. Different amendments. You go
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: through the Bill of Rights and you say, well, this
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: one's not important. We shouldn't have this right anymore. We
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have this right to bear arms anymore, we shouldn't
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: have these things. Then you put at risk the first one,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: which again I still say is the most important. The
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: others are important too. I really truly believe that our
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: founders were very intelligent. And then you go to the statues,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: and people want to take down the statues. And I
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: understand when someone says, I don't want a statue of
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: a Confederate general in my town in the town square.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I understand all sides of this argument. I do when
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: someone says, hey, that's just a part of history in
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: this town. That's you know, good luck to So there's
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: still people who are calling it Fort Benning, by the way,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I don't want it associated with that Confederate general. It's
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Fort Moore and his wife or whatever. And I get it,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: that's the reality of where we are. Things get changed,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: But the question becomes, okay, well, if you're saying we
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: have to change the statues of the Confederate Democrat by
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: the way generals and leaders and things in the past,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: and then they get confused. They think, well, we need
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: to rip down a statue of Abraham Lincoln. Why we
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: need to rip down a statue of Thomas Jefferson. Why, oh,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: well he owned slaves. Okay. So when we start going
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: after the founders and the people who actually had their
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: hands on writing these documents, that's another way to attack
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: this Bill of rights that we're talking about. It's another
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: way to attack the basic tenets of what our government's
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: founded on. Because you got people who don't like any
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: of it. Right, They don't like the Second Amendment because
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: that's how you make sure that you hang on to
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: your First Amendment and the others as well. So we
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: got leadership that doesn't like it, we have people in
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: government that don't like it. And then we've got people who,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: you know, we got a guy who ran for president,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: John Kerry, and he's been talking lately about how we
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: uh the people who spread misinformation on climate change on
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: social media. There should be a punishment for that. It
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: should be a crime to spread. And there's a growing
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: number of people who want this, like they want to
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: go after they've been trying to go after Elon Musk
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: because he dared to buy Twitter and he dared to
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: make it where other people could just say whatever they
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: wanted to say. We've had people going after Joe Rogan.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: They've pushed people like Elon Musk and Joe Rogan over
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: the more conservative side of things. Said, I heard a
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: clip the other day. I guess Joe Rogan was talking
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: about the John Carey thing, and it sounds like he's like,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Trump's gotta win. I don't listen to Rogan enough to
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: know if that's still how he feels. But this is
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: a real issue that we have in front of us
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: because they say if you spread misinformation that the government
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: should be able to punish you or step in or
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: so we know the misinformation things have been thrown around
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: on some of these social media platforms because they're saying,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: you know, they get to decide if it's misinformation or not,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: or if the government is leaning on them to decide
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: that your thoughts on COVID or the way COVID was
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: handled or Fauci's involvement. Oh, that's so much misinformation. But
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: this latest bit of misinformation is a whole different story.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Because now it's specifically with John Carey, this is about
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: climate change. John Kerry's basically saying, if we can't control
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: the misinformation, we can't really get the climate under control. See,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: we've created this new crisis, this new emergency, because you know,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: in a case of a country saying, hey, we've got
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: a state of emergency, we're gonna have to hold off
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: on elections, or we're gonna have to hold off on
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: some of these freedoms. We have a pandemic going on,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: you have to stay home and you can't show up
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: and vote. You're gonna have to mail in your ballots
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: that I don't know. Maybe the ballots can be counted
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: or not counted. We don't really know. We don't know
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: how this is all going to work. We just know
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: you're gonna mail them in and then we'll take care
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: of it from there. We're gonna cut out this whole
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: process of you know, you go in, you show your ID,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: someone verifies your signature, someone verifies it you, they look
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: at your picture, they look at you, and they say, okay,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: going in and vote. We're gonna cut all that out
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: as much as we can, because it's in the name
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: of a emergency. Well, throwing out this idea of it
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: being an emergency of a crisis. They've been telling us
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the planet is in crisis. Climate change that's been going
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: on since the beginning of time, since the Big Bang,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: maybe the most drastic bit of climate change ever. Right,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: there's nothing and then boom, it's hot. Climate change been
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: going on forever, but they tell you it's the most important.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: This is important. We have to even if we have
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: to sacrifice our freedoms of expression, our freedoms of speech,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: we have to eliminate those things for some people because
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: what they're saying isn't true. That's the essence of science
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: is it's the very essence of science for thousands of years.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Is when somebody comes along and says, this is a science.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: It's decided the universe rotates around the Earth. And then
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: another scientist comes in and says, no, no, no, no, I've
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: been looking at this. You know it's the Earth is
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: rotating around the Sun and the Sun is also rotating.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: This is not We're not the center of the universe.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: And they're like, yeah, kill him, just kill him. He
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have any rights. We got to kill him with
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: that's heresy. How dare him say that? Well, imagine if
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: that was just standard at everybody that ever brought it
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: up again, no matter what the evidence was, was also killed.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: That would still be the norm. That would still be
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: the standard because people would be terrified to speak up. See,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: that's not how science works. You could sit back and say, oh,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: the scientists agree, We got them all together and we decided.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: You know, ninety eight percent of scientists agree this is
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: what's going on with climate change. It's probably higher than
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: ninety eight percent, you know, going back in them sundays,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: going back in them days is probably higher than ninety
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: eight percent. I don't know exactly what the stats were,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: but I can tell you it took somebody with a
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: lot of stones to step up and say, are we
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: sure about this? Yep? Put them in jail. Yeah. It's
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: important that people ask questions, and it's also important that
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: people have the right to be wrong. It's important that
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: you know, I've taken flag for this in the past.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: But when through the whole Colin Kaepernick thing, do I
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: think it's disrespectful what Colin Kaepernick was doing.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Sure?
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Do I think it's even more disrespectful when it's an
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Olympic team or a national team that's not standing up
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: and at least being respectful to the flag. Absolutely, just
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: like I don't want to see somebody's underwear that, you know,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: that's just walking down the street, or that's in my
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: kitchen fixing my dishwasher. I don't want to see that.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: But I don't think it should be against the law.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's you know, I think it very
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: much fits within the spirit of the First Amendment to say, hey,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: somebody wants to not stand up and acknowledge the flag
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: at a sporting event, give them the right to stay
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: in the back if it's such a distraction and a problem.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I'm glad this isn't still something that's dominating the headlines,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: by the way, and I'm certainly not trying to make
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: it happen again. I'm just making the point we have
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: to have our First Amendment. We've got to protect it
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: at all costs. And when you got people that are saying, hey,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: we have a world emergency, it's not even a national emergency,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: it's a world emergency. And if they have views that
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: are different than whatever the status quo is for scientists
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: with climate change, then we ought to be able to
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: prosecute them. We ought to be able to take away
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: their rights so that they can't say the wrong thing
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: or something that we disagree with. It should concern you,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: It absolutely should. Today's show brought to you by Columbus
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders

• 18:28
  Speaker 2: for school age kids as school age kids visit the
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: this incredible color collaboration that they do with the Schwobe
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: really in Columbus Georgia. I mean this is a major
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: new season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: dates for the shows, and also check out when the
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can get outside.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: don't want any light interference, and you can do that
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: as well upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also on their website,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie

  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of square and that
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: away for you. And while they're there, you can always
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: And they do those as well. Seven oh six thy

• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show right after the break. Well, now that
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: we're into the second day of October, the I guess
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: this has been going on for a little while. Now,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know how long this is existed. You know,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: October of course Breast Cancer Awareness month, and there's a
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: few other things in October, but this one is kind
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: of new. And of course this is one that has
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: become a thing different months of the year. They do
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: dry January, there's another one I guess where people cut
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: it out, but sober for October is what this one's called.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: And it's basically a thirty day challenge to cut out
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: booze before you get into November December, before you get
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: into Thanksgiving and Christmas or whatever your December holiday is
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Christmas for most people, right, I know that there's others, right,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: there's certainly others that people celebrate, but you know, Honikah, Kwanza, whatever,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: whatever your holiday is in December. The point is some
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: people are revving up to just get sloshed in November
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: and December by having sober for August October. And apparently
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: this is sort of like the whole no shave November
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: where it's supposed to be about you know, testicular cancer
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: and those kind of things, men cancers. Sober for October
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: that people are doing. I guess they're encouraged to sign
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: up and raise money for breast cancer, so see it
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: ties into the October thing. That's nice and it's probably
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: not a bad idea. But I guess with more and
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: more of the sober holidays or months or whatever it is,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: you you know, you probably get to a point where
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: you just kind of stop all together, couldn't you. I mean,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I know some people shouldn't have to, but some people,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: if you feel like you need to, you know, start
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: the the burmonth. Well, I guess September is a ber month,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: but if you start the period of you know, if
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: you need the whole month of October to be sober,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: and I guess it's a thirty day thing. It's supposed
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: to go up until Halloween and then you can drink,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I guess, but that would cause some difficulties at some
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Halloween parties. But if it's that bad, you know, maybe
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: you should just think about cutting it out all together.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Have you heard of chroming. It's a new trend on
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: social media, specifically I guess on TikTok, and it relates
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: to this idea of huffing. Remember, people used to huff aerosols.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: I think that's why you still have to get somebody
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: to come and help you when your self checkout at
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: the self checkout and you get like, you know, spray
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: paint or something. Well, huffing is now chroming. It's people
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: inhaling aerosols instead of aerosols. Sorry, the vapors from chrome
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: based products, nail polish, permanent markers, paint, things that are
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: giving you sort of a short lived high, I suppose.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: But the problem is is it's ridiculously dangerous and you
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: should make sure that your kids are aware of that
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: if they tend to be on you know, TikTok or
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: one of these social media places and maybe don't have
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: the information that they need to know that this is dangerous. Hallucinations,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: slurred speech, dizziness, nausea, vomiting could potentially trigger heart attacks, seizures, suffocation, suffocation,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: even death, you know, which could tie into some of
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: those other things that we mentioned and it's on the rise.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Number of American adolescents using inhalence declined from six hundred
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: and eighty four and twenty fifteen to five hundred and
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: fifty four thousand in twenty twenty two, rose again last
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: year to five hundred and sixty four thousand. This according
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: to the US Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Another trend on social media that doctors are warning against
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: where folks are saying, hey, if you'd like to clear
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: up your acne, then you could get a sunburn or
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: use tanning beds. Dermatologists strongly advising against this. Exposing your
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: skin to UV radiation increases your risk of skin cancer
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: and accelerate skin aging. UV exposure can actually worsen acne
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: by increasing inflammation and seaburn production, which is a risk
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: factor for acne. So there you go. A new survey
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: found that nearly half of Americans feel lonely at least
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: some of the time. The survey of some sixty thousand
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: respondents found that the lonely estates are Alaska, Oregon, and Virginia,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: while Iowa, Delaware, and Wisconsin are the least lonely. The
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: survey suggesting that weather might play a role in those feelings.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Cold winters can make people feel more isolated, and you
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: know Oregon on that coast, in that upper Pacific coast cold,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I guess they also deal with some of the wetness
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: that Seattle is known for, and I guess Vancouver. So
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: there you go. Does i'll transparency create better teamwork and who?
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Study from Cornell University found that knowing your coworker's salary
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: might actually make you want to team up with them more,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: especially if they earn more than you. Surprisingly, instead of
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: feeling jealous, people tend to think of higher paid colleagues
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: as being more competent and prefer working with them. This
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: trend holds even if the coworkers have similar skills and experience.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I think this could cause some problems
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: if they are paid more than you, and you probably
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: think you should be paid more than them, I'm guessing,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: and maybe you want to team up with them in
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: situations where you think maybe the boss, if they're paying
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: them more, might give them the benefit of the doubt
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: on mistakes. I don't know. That's just kind of a
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: weird and interesting, but you know, that's what the study says.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: It is from Cornell University. Clearly they know what they're
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: talking about. That'll do it for this Wednesday edition of
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you
• 28:00
