Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 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.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, twenty fourth day of June. I'm Wes, thanks
- 0:15Speaker 2: for joining me. Getting closer and closer to the Independence
- 0:21Speaker 2: Day celebration that much of the country is excited about.
- 0:28Speaker 2: This an interesting time to be alive. You would think that,
- 0:33Speaker 2: you know, this would be this big two hundred and
- 0:36Speaker 2: fiftieth birthday, this celebration would be something that maybe people
- 0:40Speaker 2: could come together on and it would have taken I
- 0:43Speaker 2: don't know, alternate history, alternate universe. What would we have
- 0:48Speaker 2: gotten if we had had a Kamala Harris presidency for this,
- 0:54Speaker 2: I suspect we would have It would have been more
- 0:59Speaker 2: of a of a unit, not necessarily unified, but more
- 1:03Speaker 2: of a collective celebration. But there would have still been
- 1:09Speaker 2: people that, you know, the miserable people who just hate
- 1:12Speaker 2: everything that you know, want the country to go as
- 1:16Speaker 2: as just go as south as possible. That's their goal,
- 1:19Speaker 2: that's their intention, that's their hope. They'd have a president
- 1:22Speaker 2: who would probably either assist with the process or at
- 1:26Speaker 2: the very least just turn a blind eye and not
- 1:29Speaker 2: really care, so that would be one of the differences.
- 1:34Speaker 2: I do think we'd have this situation where we'd have
- 1:37Speaker 2: people that would be, you know, celebrating on the right,
- 1:42Speaker 2: similar to what we're doing now, but the folks on
- 1:48Speaker 2: the left, I think there'd be more that would be
- 1:51Speaker 2: kind of willing to celebrate it, because you know, you
- 1:53Speaker 2: have people who just don't want to touch anything to
- 1:55Speaker 2: do with Trump, and they hate him more than anything else.
- 2:01Speaker 2: They hate him. I truly believe that we would have
- 2:05Speaker 2: a situation where they would so many people, so many people,
- 2:13Speaker 2: and I know some people on the right that I
- 2:16Speaker 2: think this applies to that just they hate him so
- 2:21Speaker 2: much and they just hate him so much. But then
- 2:26Speaker 2: I think there's a considerable number of people on the
- 2:28Speaker 2: left that would happily just see every all of the
- 2:31Speaker 2: freedoms that we have, that we'll be celebrating on Independence Day,
- 2:37Speaker 2: and that we should be celebrating every single day that
- 2:41Speaker 2: we are walking around and blessed to be in this country.
- 2:45Speaker 2: And like, I think they would just happily lose all
- 2:50Speaker 2: of those things if it meant his end. Like I
- 2:54Speaker 2: think they would just happily say, we'll just forfeit all
- 2:56Speaker 2: those things, all the freedoms that people all over the
- 2:59Speaker 2: world dream of and just you know, pray at night
- 3:05Speaker 2: that they could could have some of the things that
- 3:08Speaker 2: we have. And I think people there's some people on
- 3:10Speaker 2: the right that I will acknowledge this. I've had these
- 3:13Speaker 2: conversations with friends before where you know, there's some people
- 3:17Speaker 2: on the right who say, we just were giving away
- 3:19Speaker 2: our freedoms and we're giving them up. And I do
- 3:23Speaker 2: believe that, but I also think we have to take
- 3:27Speaker 2: a moment and still remember that, even in letting it
- 3:31Speaker 2: erode itself, we still have so much more than just
- 3:35Speaker 2: about everybody else. Well I think that everybody else, because
- 3:39Speaker 2: there's not even the other countries that we used to
- 3:41Speaker 2: be able to say, well, they're not too far off
- 3:42Speaker 2: from us. You know, there's people in England getting arrested
- 3:46Speaker 2: for making jokes on Twitter. Canada is a mess. So
- 3:51Speaker 2: I mean, we do have more. And I love my
- 3:55Speaker 2: Australian family and friends, and Australia is obviously means a
- 4:01Speaker 2: lot to me. You know, I've lived almost a whole
- 4:07Speaker 2: year of my life there and you know, just cumulatively, right,
- 4:13Speaker 2: it not not like one stretch of time. Five months
- 4:16Speaker 2: is the longest that I was there for one period
- 4:19Speaker 2: of time, but you know, there's there's so many, so
- 4:22Speaker 2: many things there that again, I mean, they may be
- 4:27Speaker 2: the closest to us. And then we hear all these
- 4:29Speaker 2: stories during COVID about you know, people being locked away
- 4:33Speaker 2: in these little camps, and you just think, what is happening.
- 4:36Speaker 2: But and this ties into what I want to talk
- 4:41Speaker 2: about today, because I told you yesterday I kind of
- 4:43Speaker 2: wanted to get into this a little bit. But one
- 4:47Speaker 2: of the things that's been great about the World Cup,
- 4:50Speaker 2: and look, let me let me there's a few things
- 4:53Speaker 2: I want to say about the World Cup. I am
- 4:56Speaker 2: someone who I didn't play soccer when I was really young.
- 5:01Speaker 2: I started playing around seventh grade. That's when I you know,
- 5:07Speaker 2: i'd probably played it a little bit pick up and
- 5:09Speaker 2: things like that, but not in any sort of organized way.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Seventh grade for me is when we started playing it.
- 5:17Speaker 2: At school. We had a fantastic history teacher, American government teacher,
- 5:26Speaker 2: someone who got me passionate about a lot of the
- 5:28Speaker 2: things that I talk about here. But he was he
- 5:34Speaker 2: was a huge soccer fan. Ultimately, our soccer coach got
- 5:38Speaker 2: our team started at our high school and because we
- 5:42Speaker 2: didn't have one when I got to the school. At
- 5:44Speaker 2: first it was private school that didn't have basketball was
- 5:47Speaker 2: our focus. It was everything they would say at our
- 5:49Speaker 2: school that we're not all about basketball, like this school
- 5:54Speaker 2: does not revolve around basketball, but we love our basketball.
- 5:59Speaker 2: We have great basketball programs in the in the division
- 6:03Speaker 2: or whatever we were in for private schools and had success.
- 6:08Speaker 2: And they would say, but but remember this school is
- 6:12Speaker 2: a school first. Well we're a church first because it
- 6:16Speaker 2: was at a church. But then we're you know, this
- 6:19Speaker 2: is this is about God, this is about Jesus, This
- 6:23Speaker 2: ain't about basketball, and this is about education. We don't
- 6:26Speaker 2: revolve around basketball. And at some point after I graduated,
- 6:31Speaker 2: they did some construction at the school and they literally
- 6:34Speaker 2: built the school around the gym. So I thought, well,
- 6:40Speaker 2: it's kind of revolves around basketball like you would you
- 6:43Speaker 2: would walk. I guess I never went at that period,
- 6:47Speaker 2: but I've been in the building. I've played indoor soccer
- 6:50Speaker 2: in the in the gym there and you look up
- 6:53Speaker 2: and you can see the classroom door. So I'm guessing
- 6:55Speaker 2: as people are changing classes, people could look down into
- 6:58Speaker 2: the gym, or if you were, you know, leaving a class,
- 7:00Speaker 2: you could look down and watch pee or whatever happening.
- 7:03Speaker 2: So it kind of did revolve around it. But anyway,
- 7:08Speaker 2: soccer is something that I came to love, not as
- 7:12Speaker 2: a small kid. I didn't grow up in a time
- 7:14Speaker 2: where we had the beautiful soccer complex and all those things,
- 7:17Speaker 2: and I played baseball as a kid. I played one
- 7:22Speaker 2: season of football. It wasn't a great season of football,
- 7:29Speaker 2: not for our team, not for me, but I tried
- 7:32Speaker 2: it because my older brother had played, and I thought,
- 7:34Speaker 2: and my dad coached, and I thought, I want to
- 7:36Speaker 2: give this a shot. I liked baseball a lot more.
- 7:39Speaker 2: I think if I had played soccer when I was
- 7:41Speaker 2: young and been in the right circumstance, I probably would
- 7:44Speaker 2: have enjoyed that. But that wasn't where we were in
- 7:47Speaker 2: my childhood. We didn't have that. There were places to
- 7:50Speaker 2: play Matt. I think my younger brother, Matt played. I
- 7:55Speaker 2: don't even know if he finished a season he started.
- 7:58Speaker 2: He didn't like it. I don't know who his coach was.
- 8:03Speaker 2: It's probably somebody that I've maybe have known over the years.
- 8:06Speaker 2: But anyway, it was a different time for soccer, and
- 8:10Speaker 2: soccer has become a lot more in the States, in
- 8:14Speaker 2: our area than it was back then, and I just
- 8:17Speaker 2: say that to say that I fell in love with
- 8:19Speaker 2: playing the game. We played a lot of indoor soccer
- 8:22Speaker 2: when I was in high school. We had tournament indoor
- 8:24Speaker 2: soccer tournaments. We ended up started a team at the
- 8:29Speaker 2: school that you know, was traditional outdoor soccer and played
- 8:35Speaker 2: on it captain of the team. Co captain, I guess
- 8:38Speaker 2: to be technical, and you know, loved it, just loved
- 8:42Speaker 2: the game. I didn't like watching it so much. It
- 8:44Speaker 2: wasn't something that I thought, Man, I want to just
- 8:46Speaker 2: sit down and watch soccer. It wasn't that I disliked it.
- 8:50Speaker 2: I just didn't, you know, it was I loved playing it.
- 8:54Speaker 2: I didn't necessarily love watching it. And then I got
- 8:59Speaker 2: to a point point as an adult where I started
- 9:01Speaker 2: playing rec league soccer. And again the team that I started,
- 9:09Speaker 2: like in ninety four is still going the club if
- 9:13Speaker 2: you will, I coached, you know, youth teams with the
- 9:15Speaker 2: same name. The adult league team is still playing. And
- 9:21Speaker 2: you know, I had to retire. I just my hips
- 9:25Speaker 2: did not allow me to continue, my neck would not
- 9:28Speaker 2: allow me to continue. It probably was for the best
- 9:31Speaker 2: overall for me that I stopped playing when I did,
- 9:34Speaker 2: for my hips because I was having some issues with
- 9:37Speaker 2: my neck that I didn't even know about yet. So
- 9:40Speaker 2: I say all that to say that since and there
- 9:43Speaker 2: was a point while it overlapped and I learned to
- 9:45Speaker 2: really enjoy watching soccer. I learned to enjoy and I
- 9:49Speaker 2: don't watch a lot of it, to be honest. I
- 9:53Speaker 2: like watching Atlanta United play. I do like when the
- 9:56Speaker 2: big tournaments, you know, when you get to the Olympics,
- 9:58Speaker 2: when you get to the World Cup. I like those scenarios.
- 10:01Speaker 2: And there's some you know, uh saga I watch from overseas.
- 10:06Speaker 2: So and it didn't hurt that the women, the US
- 10:10Speaker 2: women national teams, you know, have had some a lot
- 10:13Speaker 2: of success. Uh. They were fun to watch a lot
- 10:16Speaker 2: for a while, and then it became something else and
- 10:19Speaker 2: and sadly it that that's emblematic. I think it's it's
- 10:24Speaker 2: like a metaphor for hey, America, we got this great thing.
- 10:28Speaker 2: How can we try to ruin it? And that's the
- 10:33Speaker 2: fact that people are, you know, not necessarily, some Americans
- 10:39Speaker 2: won't embrace watching the World Cup. They just don't care.
- 10:42Speaker 2: They find it boring. And that's fine, I understand. But
- 10:47Speaker 2: I say all this because one of the things that's
- 10:50Speaker 2: been a byproduct of this is that you know, you
- 10:52Speaker 2: have you're a host country, you get an opportunity to
- 10:56Speaker 2: have people come in from all over the world. That's
- 10:59Speaker 2: what's been happening. And we've been hearing all these news stories,
- 11:02Speaker 2: these social media posts, all this excitement about people coming
- 11:08Speaker 2: to the country and realizing America is not this hot
- 11:12Speaker 2: mess that our press is telling us that it is.
- 11:15Speaker 2: And you know, we're just hearing this regurgitated news and
- 11:21Speaker 2: we were expecting things to be just like a war
- 11:24Speaker 2: zone when we got here, and it's not. And it's amazing,
- 11:27Speaker 2: and the food is great, and the country is great,
- 11:30Speaker 2: and we're enjoying all these different cities that we're visiting
- 11:32Speaker 2: and all these fun things. And that has been i
- 11:38Speaker 2: think one of the absolute high points in what's going
- 11:43Speaker 2: on in this World Cup. Now, it doesn't hurt that
- 11:45Speaker 2: the US is you know, they've won their group, they've advanced.
- 11:50Speaker 2: That's been great. We haven't had a lot of success
- 11:52Speaker 2: from the US men's team over the years. It's kind
- 11:55Speaker 2: of exciting. It's kind of fun as the host country.
- 11:58Speaker 2: And then you got some of the best players that
- 11:59Speaker 2: have ever played the game that are all playing lights out.
- 12:02Speaker 2: That's all great, but it's still hard to me as
- 12:05Speaker 2: an American to have even the game itself and there's
- 12:09Speaker 2: messy and he's doing, you know, scored all five of
- 12:12Speaker 2: the goals for Argentina. Yesterday Ronaldo for Portugal had two
- 12:18Speaker 2: goals and it kind of broke out of a little
- 12:21Speaker 2: funk he was in. He was he was a little
- 12:24Speaker 2: drought on goals and he was able to do that.
- 12:27Speaker 2: And we just have in England, France, Germany, all these
- 12:33Speaker 2: teams that are you know, the contenders, all looking you
- 12:36Speaker 2: know great. So there it's it's just there's a lot
- 12:41Speaker 2: to it. And the fact that for me, as someone
- 12:44Speaker 2: who is a fan of the sport of the game,
- 12:48Speaker 2: that this non Americans getting a chance to see America
- 12:54Speaker 2: and loving what they're seeing and reporting back to the
- 12:58Speaker 2: world that it's not a cesspool the way that we're
- 13:03Speaker 2: being told. And I experienced some of this last year
- 13:08Speaker 2: when I went to Australia and I talked about this
- 13:10Speaker 2: and this was you know, I've been as I mentioned
- 13:13Speaker 2: many times, in this particular case, we were going you know,
- 13:17Speaker 2: as a family, we were specifically going to see my
- 13:21Speaker 2: in laws. We had a little bit of you know,
- 13:23Speaker 2: We had a Sydney stop and cans up in the northeast,
- 13:27Speaker 2: but we were mainly going there to see in laws
- 13:31Speaker 2: and family and spend time with my mother and father
- 13:35Speaker 2: in law. But when we got there, there was we
- 13:40Speaker 2: had more gear than what was anticipated, so Jake and
- 13:43Speaker 2: I had to take an Uber, and the uber driver,
- 13:46Speaker 2: immediately recognizing that we were Americans, started laying out this
- 13:50Speaker 2: whole thing of like, you know, our media here tells
- 13:54Speaker 2: us that Trump is horrible, but it can't be what
- 13:59Speaker 2: they're telling us, just you know, And this was a
- 14:02Speaker 2: genuinely curious person. Now I had just been on you know,
- 14:07Speaker 2: like a thirty hour trip to get there. Well, it
- 14:10Speaker 2: was longer than that because we had the long layover
- 14:12Speaker 2: in LA that ended up being an overnight layover. But
- 14:15Speaker 2: that's another adventure I discussed then. But I was exhausted,
- 14:22Speaker 2: and you've just traveled and you've done multiple you know,
- 14:25Speaker 2: connections and layovers and all that, and you get there
- 14:28Speaker 2: and you're just tired. And I didn't want to have
- 14:30Speaker 2: a debate. I didn't want to have I didn't want
- 14:32Speaker 2: to be at work on vacation. So I just thought, well,
- 14:37Speaker 2: let me hear her out. And when She sort of explained,
- 14:39Speaker 2: this can't be what we hear. And I heard that
- 14:42Speaker 2: from person after person. Everything that we're hearing about the US,
- 14:47Speaker 2: it can't be real. And the fact that we had
- 14:50Speaker 2: these skeptics that were, you know, looking at it through
- 14:53Speaker 2: these eyes of doesn't seem right. And I'll just tell
- 14:59Speaker 2: you this my my general impression, my bubble of Australians.
- 15:08Speaker 2: I have some that certainly look at things that way,
- 15:11Speaker 2: but I have many people that I know that that
- 15:15Speaker 2: country doesn't have a distrust of their leadership and their
- 15:20Speaker 2: media the way that we do. It's just different. And
- 15:25Speaker 2: I've explained this to people there before when they say,
- 15:28Speaker 2: I don't know what's the deal with the guns, and
- 15:31Speaker 2: it's like, well, you know, we were founded here under
- 15:35Speaker 2: a premise that you can't always trust your government, and
- 15:39Speaker 2: I knew situations there where, you know, there would be
- 15:42Speaker 2: some specific type of knife that they would say these
- 15:45Speaker 2: are banned now, and people were just turning them in.
- 15:48Speaker 2: There's no hesitancy. It's just like, let's turn it now.
- 15:51Speaker 2: I know they all didn't turn them in, but this
- 15:54Speaker 2: thing of let's just turn them in. So when I'm
- 15:57Speaker 2: hearing this and I'm hearing this from some of the
- 15:59Speaker 2: people that I think before would have said to me,
- 16:02Speaker 2: you know, they probably had more trust of their media
- 16:05Speaker 2: and their government than they seem to now, and they
- 16:09Speaker 2: were questioning it. Now some just take it like we
- 16:13Speaker 2: do here. We've got some people here who just everything
- 16:15Speaker 2: they hear, they just assume that this is like these
- 16:17Speaker 2: people that are obsessed with this stupid fountain or it's
- 16:20Speaker 2: not the pool, this reflecting pool, because they're being told
- 16:25Speaker 2: that's important and they're just running with it and they're they're,
- 16:28Speaker 2: you know, trying to fit. Now it's up to sixteen
- 16:31Speaker 2: million dollars, the amount is going up. But having people
- 16:38Speaker 2: come here and saying, hey, it's not a war zone.
- 16:42Speaker 2: We see footage of riots and it's a war zone,
- 16:46Speaker 2: and we get here and it's not, and that's not
- 16:48Speaker 2: what's really happening. Now. The sad part about this is
- 16:51Speaker 2: I have seen some people that I know in America
- 16:54Speaker 2: on the left that are trying to say, yeah, they're
- 16:57Speaker 2: just the world is anxious to come here and tell
- 16:59Speaker 2: it said, they don't hate us, they just hate our leadership,
- 17:03Speaker 2: and they don't. They don't. Some of them do, of course,
- 17:07Speaker 2: but collectively, you can't just say that they all hate us,
- 17:11Speaker 2: just like I can't say that they all don't hate us.
- 17:13Speaker 2: But my point is they're not coming here to tell
- 17:16Speaker 2: us that. They're coming here to say, oh my gosh,
- 17:18Speaker 2: we got here and everything's great, and we're hearing it's not,
- 17:23Speaker 2: and they're hearing it's not from American media that's trying
- 17:28Speaker 2: to drive clicks and trying to push, you know, certain candidates,
- 17:32Speaker 2: and they're trying to push campaigns, and they're trying to
- 17:35Speaker 2: push the agenda of people like Mom Donnie who want
- 17:38Speaker 2: to take the country down, the aocs, the Bernie Sanders,
- 17:42Speaker 2: they want to take it down, and they're just regurgitating
- 17:46Speaker 2: that into media overseas. It's just saying, well, let's just
- 17:50Speaker 2: tell everybody what we're hearing. And then they get here
- 17:53Speaker 2: and they realize that's not what it is. It's refreshing.
- 17:57Speaker 2: It's nice to know that people they're getting here and going,
- 18:01Speaker 2: hang on, how does that affect what happens when they
- 18:06Speaker 2: go back. I don't know. I kind of feel like
- 18:08Speaker 2: they're going to go back and nothing's going to change,
- 18:11Speaker 2: but at least they'll know that they have to question
- 18:14Speaker 2: what they're being told. Right Today's show brought to you

- 20:20Speaker 2: get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and
- 20:24Speaker 2: have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus
- 20:28Speaker 2: can take care of squaring that away for you, and
- 20:30Speaker 2: while they're there, you can always ask them questions about
- 20:33Speaker 2: some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make
- 20:36Speaker 2: to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite
- 20:40Speaker 2: what you want it to be and you need some
- 20:42Speaker 2: repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need
- 20:44Speaker 2: a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a
- 20:48Speaker 2: noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's
- 20:51Speaker 2: some sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder
- 20:54Speaker 2: or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
- 20:59Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
- 21:01Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
- 21:04Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
- 21:07Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
- 21:11Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
- 21:13Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
- 21:16Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
- 21:17Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
- 21:20Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
- 21:23Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
- 21:25Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
- 21:29Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, And they do
- 21:32Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six thorty five eight forty

- 21:42Speaker 2: Right after the break, I remember reading about this a
- 21:53Speaker 2: while back, and I think we talked about it here,
- 21:56Speaker 2: but I don't couldn't say for certain, but it was
- 22:00Speaker 2: this idea that there was a natural version of like
- 22:05Speaker 2: ozempic or we go v one of the golp ones,
- 22:08Speaker 2: and it is basically the idea is that you put
- 22:13Speaker 2: unflavored gelatine in warm water, you mix it together, and
- 22:17Speaker 2: then you drink it, and they call it natural ozempic,
- 22:20Speaker 2: and it's basically like, as it thickens, it's in your
- 22:24Speaker 2: stomach and it makes you feel fuller faster, and it's
- 22:27Speaker 2: supposed to help you eat less. But of course many
- 22:32Speaker 2: of the more level headed or I don't know, medically
- 22:37Speaker 2: savvy people saying this is a bit of an overhype
- 22:41Speaker 2: to it that gelatine can slightly curb your appetite by
- 22:45Speaker 2: physically filling your stomach and triggering fullness signals. It doesn't
- 22:50Speaker 2: really work the way that those medications do, and it
- 22:54Speaker 2: doesn't have the fat burning effects and things like that,
- 22:56Speaker 2: so dietitians warn that you shouldn't replace real meals since
- 23:00Speaker 2: it's not a nutritionally complete meal. So at best, they say,
- 23:06Speaker 2: temporary appetite hack, not a miracle solution. Look, I know
- 23:10Speaker 2: people that are saying as GLP ones are very expensive.
- 23:15Speaker 2: If you can get them even on your insurance, there
- 23:18Speaker 2: still can be quite expensive. So I know people are
- 23:21Speaker 2: looking for ways to to, you know, figure out those hacks.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Everybody's looking for that hack. I just you know, can
- 23:29Speaker 2: you just eat the jello? I mean, I know that
- 23:31Speaker 2: wouldn't have the same effect. I guess it's going down differently.
- 23:35Speaker 2: I don't know. Bottom line though, if you're gonna do that,
- 23:38Speaker 2: you definitely would have to, you know, make sure you're
- 23:40Speaker 2: taking a multi vitamin or whatever, because you're there's no
- 23:43Speaker 2: nutritional value in just drinking warm gelatin water. And I'm
- 23:49Speaker 2: not a doctor, but I can just tell you they
- 23:51Speaker 2: can't be a whole lot. It's good for you in
- 23:54Speaker 2: that as all. So weight loss and swim seas and
- 24:00Speaker 2: kind of go hand in hand. And now that we're
- 24:02Speaker 2: officially into summer, by the astronomical summer, but remember that
- 24:12Speaker 2: swimsuit color matters, and it may matter more than you
- 24:15Speaker 2: would expect. And one of the ways that it matters,
- 24:20Speaker 2: I mean, you got the ones that are slimming, you
- 24:22Speaker 2: got the ones that you don't necessarily want to go
- 24:25Speaker 2: with the horizontal stripes. You know, in some cases sometimes
- 24:29Speaker 2: you do. Sometimes you want to enhance things. But if
- 24:33Speaker 2: you're trying to slim yourself down, I guess I'm thinking
- 24:35Speaker 2: in that. But the other thing to think about and
- 24:37Speaker 2: consider is the value of bright, high contrast colors when
- 24:42Speaker 2: it comes to saving lives. Colors like yellow, orange, pink,
- 24:47Speaker 2: red much easier to spot in the water, whether you're
- 24:50Speaker 2: in a pool, a lake, or the ocean. Darker shades
- 24:53Speaker 2: like black, blue, green tend to blend in and can
- 24:56Speaker 2: be harder to see. That's why they have swimming qualities.
- 25:00Speaker 2: That said, safety experts emphasize that no color can replace
- 25:04Speaker 2: close active supervision, especially if it's kids that are involved.
- 25:08Speaker 2: But just keep in mind, and I guess you know,
- 25:11Speaker 2: if you're like the ocean especially might make it easier
- 25:15Speaker 2: for you know, the baywatch crew to be able to
- 25:17Speaker 2: come in and find you. Just saying, all right, back
- 25:23Speaker 2: to food stuff. Do you eat your meals at the
- 25:26Speaker 2: same time every day? A new study suggests that that
- 25:30Speaker 2: could be important, may matter almost as much as what
- 25:36Speaker 2: you eat, unless, of course it's gelatine warm gelatin water.
- 25:40Speaker 2: But they say that the meal times are important for
- 25:42Speaker 2: mental health people who have irregular meal schedules or frequently
- 25:46Speaker 2: skip meals are more likely to experience symptoms of depression
- 25:50Speaker 2: compared to those who eat at consistent times. Skipping breakfast
- 25:53Speaker 2: in particular seems to make things worse, while eating a
- 25:56Speaker 2: wider variety of foods can help offset some of the risk.
- 26:00Speaker 2: Researchers aren't totally sure why, but they say it could
- 26:03Speaker 2: come down to how inconsistent eating disrupts your body's internal clock,
- 26:08Speaker 2: mood related processes, things like that. So basically, you know,
- 26:13Speaker 2: this particular study suggests sticking to regular meal times could
- 26:17Speaker 2: be a small but meaningful way to support your mental
- 26:20Speaker 2: well being. And I would ask this because it mentions
- 26:23Speaker 2: the breakfast thing, skiving breakfast. But what if that's your
- 26:26Speaker 2: regular routine, you know, if you just if you fast
- 26:31Speaker 2: until lunchtime, if that's your consistent thing, I guess there
- 26:35Speaker 2: would be a benefit to it, But I don't know. Again,
- 26:39Speaker 2: not a doctor, all right, one more meal thinks being
- 26:42Speaker 2: a breakfast. Hotel breakfasts, I guess are having a bit
- 26:46Speaker 2: of a moment right now. It's sort of a social
- 26:51Speaker 2: media thing where it's happening. It's not just about the food,
- 26:54Speaker 2: it's just the vibe like the trace set up, the lighting,
- 26:58Speaker 2: the pastries, the coffee, relaxed morning feeling, and they say
- 27:03Speaker 2: that it's really tapping into something bigger for people, and
- 27:05Speaker 2: it's why it's kind of blowing up on social media
- 27:09Speaker 2: and sort of a luxury, but it's still relatable. So
- 27:13Speaker 2: it's sort of like high class, you know, like a
- 27:18Speaker 2: first class fight flight where you get the kind of
- 27:20Speaker 2: high class treatment in there, or you know, really expensive resorts.
- 27:24Speaker 2: Hotel breakfast is something that people can experience themselves experiencing
- 27:30Speaker 2: where maybe they don't have money for a first class flight.
- 27:33Speaker 2: So basically they say, you know, normally breakfast gets rushed
- 27:37Speaker 2: and it's inconsistent. So the hotel version feels kind of special, structured,
- 27:41Speaker 2: indulgent and gives you that little mini main character moment.
- 27:46Speaker 2: That's what the kids call it. So that'll do it
- 27:50Speaker 2: for this Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks to our
