Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews you need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show
0:09
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning.
0:11
Speaker 2: It is the tenth of February. I'm Wes. Thanks for
0:15
Speaker 2: joining me, kicking off your day with me, or whatever
0:18
Speaker 2: time of day you tune in. Love to hear when
0:22
Speaker 2: you listen. I've heard from many of you, and I
0:24
Speaker 2: always like hearing from you. And typically people reach out
0:28
Speaker 2: on social media. I'm on some of them. I'm number
0:34
Speaker 2: ones that have blue in the name. I don't really
0:37
Speaker 2: do a whole lot on Twitter, but if you reach
0:39
Speaker 2: out to me on Twitter, I'll get notified. I just
0:41
Speaker 2: don't go on there. It's a or X sorry, that's
0:45
Speaker 2: what it's called now X my bad. I get notifications
0:50
Speaker 2: and say it's from I think it says it's from Twitter,
0:52
Speaker 2: though I don't know. I think that's a lot. Whenever
0:55
Speaker 2: I hear from maybe it does say X now. But
0:58
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear from you. And then I have
1:00
Speaker 2: an email address Wes at Wescarrol Broadcasting dot com. That's
1:04
Speaker 2: a home website for the shows. And I don't know
1:08
Speaker 2: if you're however, you're listening, I love to hear from you,
1:11
Speaker 2: and then we've got of course Facebook pages and all
1:14
Speaker 2: that fun stuff for the shows. So I'd love to
1:16
Speaker 2: hear from you as far as when you're listening. This
1:20
Speaker 2: isn't me trying to drive up social media likes. I
1:24
Speaker 2: was just talking with my brother recently about when you
1:27
Speaker 2: see these posts it'll say like what's everybody eating for
1:30
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, and it's they don't care. I mean,
1:35
Speaker 2: it's not really what they're doing. In most cases, I
1:38
Speaker 2: can't say all the cases, but in many cases, what
1:40
Speaker 2: they're doing is they're trying to drive up traction on
1:44
Speaker 2: their page. And if you want to support them in
1:46
Speaker 2: that way, then you should give a comment or you know,
1:49
Speaker 2: just say you know, beat bob boop or whatever on it,
1:52
Speaker 2: and then you you know, would be supporting that's what
1:57
Speaker 2: they want. It's not really about. And then the people say,
2:00
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give it a frownie face or a thumbs
2:04
Speaker 2: down or whatever, and you're still giving them what they want.
2:08
Speaker 2: I mean, So you can support them even by doing that,
2:12
Speaker 2: because that's really what they're trying to do is get
2:14
Speaker 2: some awareness about their brand or their product. That's why
2:17
Speaker 2: you'll see things that'll say like check out the podcast,
2:21
Speaker 2: and if you type podcast as a comment, then I'll
2:26
Speaker 2: send you the link to the podcast. How about just
2:30
Speaker 2: give them the link to the podcast. How about just
2:32
Speaker 2: do that? That would be the way to go. But
2:33
Speaker 2: that's not what they're doing. They're trying to drive up
2:36
Speaker 2: that awareness on social media. That's what they're trying to do.
2:39
Speaker 2: I just have heard a lot of stories over the years,
2:40
Speaker 2: and it's always fun when someone says they like to
2:43
Speaker 2: listen while they're having their coffee, or they like to
2:46
Speaker 2: listen on their way to work, or they like to
2:48
Speaker 2: listen on their lunch break in the car. That's one
2:51
Speaker 2: of my favorites is the thought of someone just sitting
2:53
Speaker 2: in their car and trying to get away from their
2:56
Speaker 2: colorkers by listening to me in the car listen while
3:00
Speaker 2: they're working. And I've had a few tell me they
3:03
Speaker 2: love Thursdays because they get two shows that they can
3:06
Speaker 2: listen to with Made of Stars, and then they've got
3:09
Speaker 2: two chances to kind of get away, and I imagine
3:12
Speaker 2: they probably have headphones on most of the time that
3:15
Speaker 2: they're working. Anyway, that's my guess, And if it was
3:18
Speaker 2: you thatged me that, I'm just guessing that you probably
3:22
Speaker 2: are listening to some other shows as well during the day.
3:25
Speaker 2: If I could only come up with a solid eight
3:29
Speaker 2: hours of content every day, I mean, I do seven
3:32
Speaker 2: plus shows a week, and that's when I'm not doing
3:35
Speaker 2: interviews on other shows, or that's not when I'm doing
3:38
Speaker 2: one of my shows, like my dragon Con pregame show,
3:42
Speaker 2: where there's even more stuff going on. So it's just
3:45
Speaker 2: at least seven a week that I typically do. So
3:49
Speaker 2: I try, but that's still not eight hours a day.
3:52
Speaker 2: I mean, trying to fill forty hours of content, I'd
3:55
Speaker 2: have to go. I'd have to go off the deal.
3:57
Speaker 2: I'd have to be one of those conspiracy theories people,
3:59
Speaker 2: wouldn't I. I'd have to do that. I'd have to
4:02
Speaker 2: really dive into the conspiracies and try to jump into that.
4:05
Speaker 2: Although the record on these conspiracies starting to look more
4:11
Speaker 2: like the conspiracies are winning. It's weird. We'll get to
4:15
Speaker 2: that later on maybe today, maybe not today, but we'll
4:19
Speaker 2: talk about it. I wanted to quickly mention, speaking of
4:22
Speaker 2: DragonCon pregame show, I do this show every year. This
4:25
Speaker 2: is my twenty fifth year that I'll be covering dragon
4:28
Speaker 2: Con this year at consecutive and I covered it for COVID.
4:33
Speaker 2: They did that twenty twenty year, they did a virtual
4:37
Speaker 2: convention and I covered it that year. So this is
4:40
Speaker 2: number twenty five for me of covering the convention. So
4:45
Speaker 2: every year they have a charity partner, someone that they
4:49
Speaker 2: team up with and proceeds go to that particular charity
4:54
Speaker 2: for that year. A lot of great causes over the years.
4:58
Speaker 2: This year their charity partner an organization called Hope Atlanta
5:03
Speaker 2: and it is basically about helping with homelessness and trying
5:11
Speaker 2: to help eliminate that and make sure that people have
5:15
Speaker 2: the things that they need and they trying to find
5:20
Speaker 2: the exact wording on their like their catchphrase. But what
5:23
Speaker 2: I wanted to share with you though, is because they
5:26
Speaker 2: are teaming up with them and they have an Amazon
5:29
Speaker 2: wish list that they are using to if you buy
5:37
Speaker 2: twenty five dollars or more worth of supplies for Hope Atlanta,
5:42
Speaker 2: then you will be entered for a chance to win
5:44
Speaker 2: a reservation at a host hotel. And if you've ever
5:47
Speaker 2: gone to Dragon Con, and if you've ever booked a
5:50
Speaker 2: hotel at Dragon Con, you know this is not something
5:53
Speaker 2: that's easy to do. Getting the host hotels is difficult,
5:57
Speaker 2: and thankfully I've been able to do it, you know,
6:00
Speaker 2: every year. But now I'm on the grandfathered in like
6:04
Speaker 2: I'm the first grandfathered like first person to be grandfather
6:10
Speaker 2: into a room at the hotel where I stay. I
6:12
Speaker 2: have that distinction and I pushed for it for a
6:15
Speaker 2: long time before it finally happened and then they started
6:18
Speaker 2: doing it for everybody, but I did it the year
6:20
Speaker 2: before they started the grandfather ind of the rooms. Anyway,
6:23
Speaker 2: that's not a brag. It kind of it sounds like
6:25
Speaker 2: a brag, but that's not it. I'm just pointing out
6:26
Speaker 2: it's really hard to get rooms, so to get in
6:28
Speaker 2: the running and if you basically they've got instructions on
6:34
Speaker 2: their social media. So if you're like on Dragon cons
6:37
Speaker 2: Facebook page, you'll find a link there and it says basically,
6:40
Speaker 2: if you purchase twenty five dollars or more with the supplies,
6:44
Speaker 2: and they said, do a screencap of your order and
6:47
Speaker 2: post it in the comments by Valentine's Day at nine
6:49
Speaker 2: pm and they're going to select a winner the following day.
6:53
Speaker 2: So just jump on their social media. That's the best
6:55
Speaker 2: thing you can do. They've got the Amazon wish list there.
6:59
Speaker 2: I would read it to you, but it's like not
7:02
Speaker 2: a user friendly shareable thing. There's a lot of letters
7:06
Speaker 2: and things and I'm not going to do that to you.
7:08
Speaker 2: But check it out, and yeah, I'll look forward to
7:10
Speaker 2: learning more. And typically I get opportunities to talk with
7:15
Speaker 2: the either marketing people or the CEOs of some of
7:18
Speaker 2: these charity organizations. They work every year, and I look
7:20
Speaker 2: forward to doing that. Coming up for this year's dragon
7:23
Speaker 2: Com pregame show, I want to follow up a little
7:26
Speaker 2: bit on what we talked about yesterday, and I can't.
7:30
Speaker 2: I was not in any way trying to be dismissive
7:33
Speaker 2: when it came to the halftime show. I if that
7:39
Speaker 2: was the show for you, then God bless you. I
7:41
Speaker 2: wanted to distress that yesterday I thought I did. I
7:43
Speaker 2: got a few people a little upset. Didn't necessarily mean
7:47
Speaker 2: to I must admit I don't live my life trying
7:51
Speaker 2: not to upset people, but I definitely I mean, I
7:55
Speaker 2: don't say the things I say thinking this is definitely
7:57
Speaker 2: not gonna upset people. I do live my life to
7:59
Speaker 2: try not to upset. I do, but sometimes it happens,
8:02
Speaker 2: and I understand that, and I don't mean to do it,
8:06
Speaker 2: and believe me, I've been on the other side of
8:07
Speaker 2: that many many times where someone upsets me. I can
8:12
Speaker 2: get my feelings hurt too. I can pretend to be
8:15
Speaker 2: thick skinned. I'm really probably not a thick skinned as
8:18
Speaker 2: I kind of wish that I was sometimes, but I
8:22
Speaker 2: was not trying to upset anyone. I could not be
8:25
Speaker 2: more sincere and genuine to say that the people who
8:29
Speaker 2: select the halftime shows are not I'm nowhere. My demographic
8:34
Speaker 2: is nowhere on their radar. They don't care if I
8:37
Speaker 2: watch it. It's not about me. They now take me
8:41
Speaker 2: for granted that I'm going to watch the Super Bowl
8:44
Speaker 2: watching FL games. If I was going to do it,
8:47
Speaker 2: I'm in and that's it. That's what they believe. And
8:51
Speaker 2: I don't know that they fully understand that they are
8:54
Speaker 2: capable of running off fans. They ran many off over
8:58
Speaker 2: the last five, six, seven years. Some of them maybe
9:03
Speaker 2: came back, some did not. I know people who've been
9:05
Speaker 2: done with the NFL for a while. I know some
9:07
Speaker 2: that are now done with college football. They've moved on
9:10
Speaker 2: to other sports, hopefully curling. If we can get that
9:14
Speaker 2: to catch on and really take off, maybe, just maybe
9:19
Speaker 2: so I hope that they're not taking some of the
9:22
Speaker 2: fan base for granted, I think they do, at least
9:25
Speaker 2: when it comes to the halftime show. Now, there have
9:28
Speaker 2: been halftime shows that I was interested in and I
9:31
Speaker 2: still didn't really watch. It's just not me, So it's
9:34
Speaker 2: not going to affect me one way or the other.
9:37
Speaker 2: What concerns me about the situation is that this has
9:42
Speaker 2: become a one of those things that people are saying
9:46
Speaker 2: that if you didn't like it or support it, then
9:50
Speaker 2: you're their enemy. That happened to me. That's where it
9:56
Speaker 2: doesn't so much hurt my feelings as much as it goes,
9:59
Speaker 2: are we really going to do this? This is really
10:01
Speaker 2: where we're going. We can't be friends if I'm not
10:07
Speaker 2: pro the halftime show of a certain super Bowl. So yeah, yeah,
10:16
Speaker 2: that came to light yesterday. And that's a little worrying,
10:22
Speaker 2: isn't it. That we're there. I mean, I I get
10:27
Speaker 2: frustrated with it about lots of things, but we're getting
10:29
Speaker 2: really we're getting really petty if this is something that
10:34
Speaker 2: is going to help decide friendship or not. So Yeah.
10:40
Speaker 2: The other part of this is that it felt like
10:43
Speaker 2: yesterday was a giant tidal wave of people saying, you know, well,
10:50
Speaker 2: I I don't have to give you my two cents.
10:52
Speaker 2: Let me tell you my two cents about the halftime show.
10:56
Speaker 2: You're mad because of this, and you're not mad because
10:59
Speaker 2: of that, and bah bruh. Like think about this. You
11:04
Speaker 2: ever ever been to uh ever been to the like
11:08
Speaker 2: the store, like a shopping I'll give this as a
11:11
Speaker 2: specific example. One of my very close friends, we've joked
11:16
Speaker 2: for years that because we hang out a lot, she's
11:20
Speaker 2: very close with my family. She and Jail are close.
11:22
Speaker 2: She's close with my boys. My friend Sarah, who does
11:26
Speaker 2: my makeup for Mother Ginger for the Nutcracker, we got
11:31
Speaker 2: to the point where we started joking. There's a Seinfeld
11:33
Speaker 2: episode where Jerry has a girlfriend and they've got a
11:35
Speaker 2: pet name for each other and they say it and
11:37
Speaker 2: it drives everybody crazy and it makes them sick, and
11:39
Speaker 2: then pet name is Smoopy. Sarah and I call each
11:42
Speaker 2: other that as a joke, and their aunt Smoopy to
11:47
Speaker 2: my boys. Jill calls her smoopy. Many of my friends
11:51
Speaker 2: call her that. We always joke about the fifteenth being Well,
11:55
Speaker 2: it used to be a joke and now it's serious business.
11:58
Speaker 2: But We used to joke that she was my side
12:00
Speaker 2: and then on the fifteenth of February, which is side
12:04
Speaker 2: Ho Day, you know, we celebrate side Home Day. She's
12:09
Speaker 2: not really my side ho, it's but it's that's the
12:12
Speaker 2: term that we use because we're just very close friends
12:15
Speaker 2: and she's she's close friends with my wife, she's close
12:18
Speaker 2: friends with my friends, my family, my brother. Like it's
12:23
Speaker 2: she's my side Hoe for side Ho Day. Right. So
12:28
Speaker 2: she and I frequently will do our grocery shopping together.
12:33
Speaker 2: Jill does not like to shop for groceries. Sarah does
12:36
Speaker 2: not like to shop for groceries on her own. I've
12:40
Speaker 2: become like her emotional support person for grocery shopping, and
12:44
Speaker 2: it's kind of vice versa. It's it's fun. We just
12:47
Speaker 2: get to hang out, we do our grocery shopping. And anyway,
12:52
Speaker 2: this past weekend, we were shopping and while we were
12:55
Speaker 2: in one of the stores, there was a couple that
12:59
Speaker 2: had kids and they were fighting, like just bickering, and
13:02
Speaker 2: the whole time they were in the store, and they
13:06
Speaker 2: had their kids with them, and it felt like they
13:08
Speaker 2: were you know, the stores are kind of set up specifically.
13:11
Speaker 2: I don't know how what you've researched the merchandising and
13:14
Speaker 2: marketing of grocery stores, but there's set my I come
13:18
Speaker 2: from a family, and I myself worked in a grocery store.
13:22
Speaker 2: One of my well, my very first job, but my
13:24
Speaker 2: first few couple of jobs were in grocery stores. And
13:28
Speaker 2: then my parents both worked as merchandisers for companies. They
13:32
Speaker 2: would go in, they would stock stores, they would do orders,
13:35
Speaker 2: they worked in sales and merchandising. Stores have a very
13:38
Speaker 2: specific way that they're set up. You go to the
13:40
Speaker 2: like a large store, they want you to go to the
13:42
Speaker 2: back and work your way forward, and they've got like
13:44
Speaker 2: a maze that they've built for you, and there's a
13:46
Speaker 2: certain system that they want you to go through where
13:48
Speaker 2: you're going to see certain things more likely that you're
13:51
Speaker 2: going to pick up things. So these people were in
13:53
Speaker 2: the same sort of maze trajectory that we were in.
13:56
Speaker 2: We're going through this, they're going through They're around us
13:59
Speaker 2: the whole time. And I don't know that Sarah at
14:02
Speaker 2: first realized it was the same couple. She just said,
14:04
Speaker 2: why are all these people in the store fighting today?
14:08
Speaker 2: And I said, I don't know, but we you know,
14:10
Speaker 2: kind of could change our direction a little bit, maybe
14:12
Speaker 2: go opposite the maze, maybe go back a couple of
14:15
Speaker 2: ailes and reset and get away from them, and it
14:19
Speaker 2: sort of tie. And that kind of thing happens sometimes
14:21
Speaker 2: we in life, we experience that we're around people, we
14:25
Speaker 2: see people, they're fighting, they have an awkward circumstance situation,
14:30
Speaker 2: and then you know, but what we do is we
14:33
Speaker 2: keep our mouths shut. You don't unless you see something
14:37
Speaker 2: that's really like harmful to the children involved, you just
14:43
Speaker 2: you mind your own business. There's no need to get
14:46
Speaker 2: involved in whatever their little bicker is, whatever their fight is.
14:51
Speaker 2: So what is it about social media keyboard warriors that
14:57
Speaker 2: makes us feel so comfortable or so obligated that when
15:01
Speaker 2: there's something like, okay, a couple of people are you know,
15:04
Speaker 2: I didn't like the show, I loved it, I'm hispanic,
15:07
Speaker 2: I'm not. There's this thing about us where we lose
15:12
Speaker 2: that ability to just go who cares, it's not my fight,
15:18
Speaker 2: it's not my I don't care. You guys can bicker
15:22
Speaker 2: all day and then you get accused of like not
15:24
Speaker 2: being pro like you're not jumping in feet first into
15:29
Speaker 2: something that it does not matter to me. I think
15:32
Speaker 2: I made that clear yesterday. The time show was not
15:36
Speaker 2: put on for me. They didn't care if I watched.
15:40
Speaker 2: They honestly probably expected me not to watch. And they're
15:44
Speaker 2: okay with that, and I'm okay with it too. Would
15:48
Speaker 2: it be nice if they picked my favorite bands every year?
15:51
Speaker 2: Sure I would. I would be much more likely to watch.
15:56
Speaker 2: But I can't even guarantee that. I don't know that
16:00
Speaker 2: I would. But I'm trying to understand what it is
16:03
Speaker 2: about us culturally, so that this isn't just about the
16:07
Speaker 2: halftime show, but it's about all of it. Like why
16:09
Speaker 2: can't we just let people say their dumb thing and
16:13
Speaker 2: then move on. We feel an obligation. I think there
16:16
Speaker 2: is some pressure from people you have to say something,
16:18
Speaker 2: you have to, but you don't. You don't have to
16:22
Speaker 2: say anything. What is the point? What are you accomplishing
16:25
Speaker 2: by getting into someone else's fight? And believe me, I
16:30
Speaker 2: see fights and dumb things and all the time on
16:32
Speaker 2: social media and I had to condition myself to stay
16:37
Speaker 2: out of it because it's so tempting to jump in.
16:42
Speaker 2: Believe me, I have. I have jumped into these things
16:47
Speaker 2: many time, be times before. I absolutely have. I have.
16:54
Speaker 2: I've started some of these things just to see what
16:56
Speaker 2: would happen. I have troll I'm one of the very
17:01
Speaker 2: early trollers of the Internet. I was in doss based
17:06
Speaker 2: chat rooms trolling people before people even knew what was
17:10
Speaker 2: going on. They had no clue what was going on.
17:15
Speaker 2: And I think it's funny now. I mean I really
17:19
Speaker 2: thought it was funny then, But the thought of doing
17:22
Speaker 2: that now in any sort of regularity, it's exhausting to
17:28
Speaker 2: me and my ability to just stay Why can't we
17:31
Speaker 2: just stay out of it? And I know a lot
17:32
Speaker 2: of people have just gotten off of social media, that's
17:34
Speaker 2: the easy way to do it. But I still like
17:37
Speaker 2: hearing from people. I still like when people post funny things.
17:40
Speaker 2: I like pictures of dogs and vacations and children and
17:44
Speaker 2: finding out what's going on. I like staying in touch,
17:48
Speaker 2: but I'd love to stay in touch without all the
17:50
Speaker 2: other stuff, without things that are intended to get people's
17:54
Speaker 2: blood up. Because unlike these pages that I was talking
17:59
Speaker 2: about the beginning, say hey, tell me why you're what
18:02
Speaker 2: you're eating for breakfast tomorrow. Those people that are trying
18:06

21:54
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.

22:06

22:09
Speaker 2: five hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five
22:12
Speaker 2: hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show
22:17
Speaker 2: right after the break. So I had not looked ahead
22:28
Speaker 2: to next year's Super Bowl, and I didn't find this
22:30
Speaker 2: out until yesterday. So I was talking about how this
22:33
Speaker 2: talk about pushing the super Bowl back another week. If
22:36
Speaker 2: they add another game, it's gonna happen in twenty twenty seven.
22:41
Speaker 2: So next year we have Presidents a weekend will be
22:45
Speaker 2: the Presidents. They will be the fifteenth. The super Bowl
22:49
Speaker 2: will be on the fourteenth, so there will be a
22:52
Speaker 2: day off after the super Bowl. However, the super Bowl
22:56
Speaker 2: is taking place on Valentine's Day, So okay, hey, let's
23:02
Speaker 2: figure out how all that's gonna work exactly. So there
23:07
Speaker 2: you go Super Bowl sixty one, Valentine's Day, and then
23:13
Speaker 2: Presidence Day very next day. Interesting, So we'll see how
23:17
Speaker 2: that works out for the Valentine's Day crowds. I guess
23:19
Speaker 2: there'll be a lot of people going out on the
23:20
Speaker 2: thirteenth to celebrate Valentine's Day, or some disappointed guys or ladies.
23:27
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know how that's gonna work.
23:30
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll come up with an artist who is you know,
23:34
Speaker 2: sings a lot of love songs, and people might go, hey,
23:39
Speaker 2: that'd be great this. Let's have an artist has a
23:42
Speaker 2: lot of love songs and then it won't be as
23:46
Speaker 2: controversial or whatever. I don't know. All right, So you've
23:53
Speaker 2: heard of things like protein maxing or electrolyte maxing, fibermaxing.
23:58
Speaker 2: Did you know that Larry Dave maxing is a thing.
24:01
Speaker 2: Larry David maxing is embracing the cranky, brutally honest, socially
24:04
Speaker 2: awkward traits of Larry David Younger Generman Rations discovering Larry
24:10
Speaker 2: David's classic rants and awkward chaos from Kurbyr Enthusiasm and
24:14
Speaker 2: Seinfeld and it's catching on more and more. Welcome to it,
24:19
Speaker 2: young people. I didn't realize how much of some of
24:23
Speaker 2: those I have those moments. I can't say I'm a
24:26
Speaker 2: lot like him, but I definitely have those moments where
24:30
Speaker 2: what should just be a small annoyance becomes a much bigger,
24:34
Speaker 2: much bigger annoyance and it shouldn't. I'll give you an example.
24:40
Speaker 2: This has become a thing, and it's happened several times,
24:44
Speaker 2: happened kind of recently again, but it's so I almost
24:51
Speaker 2: want to do it in a Larry David voice. It
24:54
Speaker 2: would goes like to a funeral and then someone who's
24:57
Speaker 2: at the funeral just like you are, and you're not family,
25:01
Speaker 2: and you're not one of the you know, like the
25:03
Speaker 2: people that are kind of hosting, like the family has
25:07
Speaker 2: the funeral, and then everybody else is just attending the funeral, right,
25:12
Speaker 2: and then you occasionally get this person who's just there
25:15
Speaker 2: just like you are, and they'll say to you when
25:18
Speaker 2: they see you, they'll say, oh, thanks for coming, and
25:22
Speaker 2: I just in my head I immediately go to like,
25:26
Speaker 2: thank you for coming. Like the people that take ownership
25:30
Speaker 2: of funerals, I'll turn into Larry David. It had to
25:36
Speaker 2: suppress it at a funeral. So the term itself for
25:41
Speaker 2: Larry David Maxing came from a content creator named Matt,
25:45
Speaker 2: who said he would spend twenty twenty six complaining about
25:47
Speaker 2: all the small annoyances, calling people out, grabbing lunch with friends,
25:51
Speaker 2: and then stumbling through social situations just like Larry David.
25:54
Speaker 2: So good, good for you. It sounds like a sounds
25:58
Speaker 2: like a way to live. And then at the end
25:59
Speaker 2: you could have, you know, Festivus close to Christmas and
26:02
Speaker 2: air grievances and all of that fun stuff. How would
26:06
Speaker 2: you describe the inside of your car? Clean and fresh smelling?
26:13
Speaker 2: Not everybody is there, Some people are. They say that
26:17
Speaker 2: there's a third of drivers, according to a new survey,
26:20
Speaker 2: whose cars are crossed between a trash can and a closet.
26:23
Speaker 2: Thirty three percent said that they keep closing their car.
26:26
Speaker 2: Thirty six percent said they have an assortment of empty bottles, cans,
26:31
Speaker 2: takeout cups inside the car. Twenty three percent said there
26:34
Speaker 2: are a lot of old food wrappers inside their car.
26:36
Speaker 2: Twenty one percent said that there's dropped food on the
26:40
Speaker 2: floor of the car. Interestingly, though the youngest drivers had
26:43
Speaker 2: the cleanest cars, it's because they still care and they're
26:46
Speaker 2: trying to impress people. I don't know. Thirty two percent
26:49
Speaker 2: of Gen z ors describe their cars as very tidy. Boomers,
26:52
Speaker 2: on the other hand, most likely to admit that their
26:54
Speaker 2: cars are messy because grandkids in the cars making a
26:58
Speaker 2: mess and they don't care. I mean, the kids don't
27:01
Speaker 2: and the grandparents don't. So. A new survey shows almost
27:04
Speaker 2: half of Americans are planning a budget friendly Valentine's Day
27:07
Speaker 2: this year. The good news you don't need to splurge
27:10
Speaker 2: to make it meaningful. Eighty seven percent think that inexpensive
27:14
Speaker 2: gifts can be just as special. Practical presence are especially popular,
27:17
Speaker 2: with many saying that they feel even more thoughtful than
27:22
Speaker 2: the traditional romantic ones. With that said, thirty nine percent
27:25
Speaker 2: of people in the relationships said that they had no
27:27
Speaker 2: idea what to get their partner for Valentine's Day this year,
27:33
Speaker 2: and it is on a Saturday. Next year it's on
27:36
Speaker 2: a Sunday Super Bowl Sunday. So Surrey found twenty five
27:40
Speaker 2: percent of people would break up with their partner over
27:42
Speaker 2: a bad Valentine's Day gift. But according to the survey,
27:45
Speaker 2: it's not about the price, as we just mentioned. People
27:48
Speaker 2: prefer sentimental gifts, homemade cards, romantic experiences over luxury items
27:52
Speaker 2: some people. Some people prefer those things, some do not.
27:57
Speaker 2: Just proceed with caution. That'll do it for this Tuesday
28:01
Speaker 2: edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons.
