0:10
Speaker 2: Monday morning, ninth day of March. I'm West Thanks for
0:16
Speaker 2: joining me, kicking off another week here together and working
0:22
Speaker 2: our way through this month to morrow. It's pretty much spring.
0:25
Speaker 2: I know. We talked about this some last week, and
0:27
Speaker 2: I always talk about how I kind of go with
0:29
Speaker 2: the calendar seasons more so than the astronomical Probably sounds
0:34
Speaker 2: weird considering the old Made of Stars connection. But speaking
0:40
Speaker 2: of which, I don't know that we've officially announced this
0:42
Speaker 2: on Made of Stars yet, but back around the Halloween,
0:47
Speaker 2: I think it was November first, we did our first
0:51
Speaker 2: ever Made of Stars live podcast inside the Omnosphere Theater
0:58
Speaker 2: at Columbus State Universe these Coca Cola Space Science Center,
1:02
Speaker 2: and we're working on doing this again right now. I mean,
1:07
Speaker 2: I guess I can just say this March twenty eighth
1:10
Speaker 2: is the date we're working on finalizing. So if you
1:14
Speaker 2: would like to come see a podcast recorded live, that's
1:19
Speaker 2: what we do. We had a nice crowd for the
1:21
Speaker 2: first one. We hope to expand on that. It's from
1:26
Speaker 2: the Department of Earth, and Space Sciences at Columbus State
1:30
Speaker 2: University hosted this for us and we did it at
1:33
Speaker 2: the Space Science Center. We had a really good time,
1:36
Speaker 2: and we're going to do it again the end of
1:39
Speaker 2: this month. We'll have some more details coming in the
1:43
Speaker 2: coming weeks, but we would love to see you there.
1:44
Speaker 2: And I had several people who because of Halloween and
1:48
Speaker 2: things were committed elsewhere. We're going to run into a
1:50
Speaker 2: little bit of the same problem because of that'll be
1:53
Speaker 2: the start of spring break for some that weekend, but
1:57
Speaker 2: it'll be a Saturday night and then they'll have astronomy
2:00
Speaker 2: immediately after. And that's the way we did it last time.
2:03
Speaker 2: So if you ever wanted to come and check out
2:07
Speaker 2: the sky from the big telescopes there at the co
2:10
Speaker 2: Co Cola Space Science Center or out on the lawn
2:13
Speaker 2: or wherever they are setting things up a combination of those,
2:17
Speaker 2: you'll get a chance to do that as well. And
2:18
Speaker 2: if you're interested in space stuff, check us out Made
2:20
Speaker 2: a Star's podcast wherever you get this podcast. And you
2:25
Speaker 2: know I tend to I'm a little like I host
2:31
Speaker 2: the Made a Star Show. I am basically there to
2:36
Speaker 2: be the voice of the audience. That's my role. Seawan Cruisin,
2:40
Speaker 2: the doctor Seawan Cruisin, the executive director of the co
2:43
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center, astrophysicist doctor Shawn Crusin. He's there
2:49
Speaker 2: to give us the knowledge. I'm there to ask the
2:52
Speaker 2: questions that maybe you're thinking. And we intended to take
2:55
Speaker 2: questions last time. We kind of ran out of time
2:58
Speaker 2: on that. So because we have the Astronomy Night kind
3:02
Speaker 2: of backing like right up against us, butting up against us,
3:06
Speaker 2: so we hope to do that this time. Give you
3:09
Speaker 2: the opportunity to ask some questions while we're there. And
3:12
Speaker 2: it was a great time. We had a really good time.
3:14
Speaker 2: Hope to see you there for a Made of Stars
3:17
Speaker 2: Live two. Can we call it.
3:20
Speaker 1: That the sequel?
3:23
Speaker 2: I guess we can call it that. I don't know anyway.
3:27
Speaker 2: That's what it is. It's the second part to it.
3:29
Speaker 2: But we've got many episodes of the show, you know,
3:33
Speaker 2: under our belt, so it's not like it's just it's
3:35
Speaker 2: just the second one that we've done that way, right,
3:40
Speaker 2: So that's where we are. This show, by the way,
3:44
Speaker 2: past a milestone when it comes to a number of
3:48
Speaker 2: episodes and I it just kind of happened and we
3:52
Speaker 2: blew right past it made of Stars, by the way,
3:56
Speaker 2: coming up on three hundred episodes in the next I mean,
4:00
Speaker 2: we still got about it'll happen this year, right, That's
4:04
Speaker 2: what we got. But this show West Carroll Morning Show,
4:08
Speaker 2: we've passed the one thousand podcast mark and kind of
4:13
Speaker 2: blew right past that without really even talking about it.
4:17
Speaker 2: But the other thing that the reason that I guess
4:20
Speaker 2: I didn't even really kind of catch that, is how
4:23
Speaker 2: close we're coming up on me having two thousand plus
4:27
Speaker 2: podcasts between this show and the other shows that I
4:31
Speaker 2: do and have done in the past. And that's not
4:34
Speaker 2: even counting the ones I've been a guest on, but
4:36
Speaker 2: once that I've produced and been you know on, We're
4:40
Speaker 2: about to hit coming up on two thousand, so that's
4:44
Speaker 2: kind of at about seven a week. This is about
4:46
Speaker 2: how many shows I do. I mean, we're you know,
4:50
Speaker 2: six maybe six weeks away from that, so we'll have
4:53
Speaker 2: more on that and have to do something special for
4:56
Speaker 2: that when we roll around to that Mileston, assuming that
5:01
Speaker 2: I remember to pay attention. It's not like I don't
5:04
Speaker 2: list these episodes by the number. Some shows do that.
5:09
Speaker 2: Some of the early podcasts did that, and then it
5:11
Speaker 2: became like a don't don't do that. That became kind
5:15
Speaker 2: of the rule for podcasting is, you know, don't do that.
5:18
Speaker 2: And I don't know that I ever understood the reason
5:21
Speaker 2: for don't do that. It just became the standard norm
5:24
Speaker 2: for it. And the shows that predated that rule continued
5:27
Speaker 2: to do it, but a lot of the people who
5:30
Speaker 2: you know came along after just you know, they just
5:34
Speaker 2: don't do it. So it's easy for it to kind
5:36
Speaker 2: of slip by. But I try to acknowledge the big ones.
5:39
Speaker 2: And like I said, I just blew right past one
5:41
Speaker 2: thousand episodes of this show. So what I wanted to
5:46
Speaker 2: talk about today is just something happened on Friday that
5:57
Speaker 2: I think is significant because use it definitely exposes something
6:03
Speaker 2: that we've seen exposed before. But this happened in a
6:11
Speaker 2: different place, in a different format, from someone that you
6:15
Speaker 2: probably don't think of in the context of doing something
6:19
Speaker 2: like this, and I don't maybe he's done it before.
6:21
Speaker 2: I don't know. I've told you many times that there's
6:26
Speaker 2: a lot of these shows and podcasts and TV shows,
6:30
Speaker 2: radio shows, podcast things that I just don't follow. I
6:34
Speaker 2: don't listen to regularly. I don't I just I like
6:39
Speaker 2: my thoughts here to be my thoughts. I don't want
6:42
Speaker 2: the infusion of things coming from elsewhere. It's something that
6:45
Speaker 2: I tried not to do. And you have to kind
6:47
Speaker 2: of avoid things, which is tough. There are some things
6:51
Speaker 2: from time to time that I will, you know, if
6:54
Speaker 2: it's something that I'm researching or working on, I will
6:58
Speaker 2: listen to something to kind of get a little more
7:01
Speaker 2: information on something. But I don't want the opinion part
7:04
Speaker 2: of what I talk about to be influenced by other things, right,
7:10
Speaker 2: I just like my thoughts to be mine. And you know,
7:13
Speaker 2: every now and then I say something and then someone
7:17
Speaker 2: else says it and I've had you know, this feeling
7:20
Speaker 2: and like, eh, then I want to know who said
7:23
Speaker 2: it first. And then if I go, well I said
7:25
Speaker 2: it first, it's all right, And it's not a competition.
7:28
Speaker 2: It's it's not a competition at all. There have been
7:32
Speaker 2: phases when we've gone through election cycles, and there have
7:37
Speaker 2: been periods of time where I have done, you know,
7:40
Speaker 2: lots of interviews. We may come up to this later
7:43
Speaker 2: this year where opportunities come. I mean I've had some opportunities.
7:46
Speaker 2: Now I haven't had any real interesting opportunities for interviews,
7:51
Speaker 2: not in this cycle yet I suspect they'll be coming though.
7:56
Speaker 2: But interviews I've done in the past where I've had
7:59
Speaker 2: people will take something that I said in the interview
8:05
Speaker 2: and then say it somewhere else, and that's that's flattering, right,
8:09
Speaker 2: because it's I mean, literally I was I've done interviews
8:14
Speaker 2: with people that would, you know, twenty minutes later, like
8:22
Speaker 2: they would tell me as they were, you know, finishing
8:24
Speaker 2: the interview, and we would sometimes talk for a few
8:26
Speaker 2: minutes after and they would say, I gotta go, I'm
8:29
Speaker 2: doing Fox and Friends in a few minutes, and then
8:33
Speaker 2: I turn over to Fox and Friends and they say
8:35
Speaker 2: something there that they just like, word for words, something
8:40
Speaker 2: that I said. Used to happen on the radio a lot.
8:43
Speaker 2: I had a friend who told me, like, I love
8:46
Speaker 2: in these situations. I love to when they mentioned, you know,
8:49
Speaker 2: that they're going to be on another show or whatever.
8:51
Speaker 2: I love to listen for them repeating back some of
8:54
Speaker 2: the things you said. And it's not me saying, boy,
8:55
Speaker 2: I'm cool, look at what I did. It's just the
8:58
Speaker 2: reality of sometimes these thoughts can get in your head
9:02
Speaker 2: without you even realizing where they came from. And this
9:05
Speaker 2: one particular incident with Fox and Friends. This person may
9:08
Speaker 2: even have thought they said it in the interview with me,
9:10
Speaker 2: not realizing that it came from me. And that's fine,
9:14
Speaker 2: it's fine. And I've had interviews that ask me, do
9:18
Speaker 2: you mind if I use that? I really like. I've
9:20
Speaker 2: had senate candidates say to me, I like that, do
9:25
Speaker 2: you mind if I use it? And I go, no,
9:28
Speaker 2: that's completely fine, go for it, and it's flattering. But
9:34
Speaker 2: I try to not have that sort of influence on things.
9:37
Speaker 2: So when I tell you that there's a lot of
9:40
Speaker 2: these shows that I don't watch, I might watch clips.
9:43
Speaker 2: And in this case, it was a great example of
9:46
Speaker 2: watching a clip. And the person is a liberal, someone
9:51
Speaker 2: who is on the left, who has a TV show,
9:53
Speaker 2: has for a long time, but he's not a woke liberal.
9:56
Speaker 2: He's not a far left extremist liberal. And I hate
10:01
Speaker 2: the fact that liberals have used the extremist term on
10:05
Speaker 2: conservatives for so long and we just don't do a
10:09
Speaker 2: good job of using it back. And it's an extremist thing.
10:13
Speaker 2: This notion of being like an American communist, or this
10:16
Speaker 2: notion of being like an American socialist, or this this
10:21
Speaker 2: whole idea of you know that we're in revolution, and
10:24
Speaker 2: that we have organized, you know, protesters, and that we
10:29
Speaker 2: have people handing out the signs for picketing, and that
10:34
Speaker 2: that people are getting paid to go protest. This is
10:37
Speaker 2: all extreme stuff. The whole woke thing, the whole transgender
10:43
Speaker 2: sports thing. I mean, we're talking about things that should
10:46
Speaker 2: be seen in the light of extreme left, this woke thing,
10:52
Speaker 2: because at one time it was just thrown around as, oh,
10:55
Speaker 2: you're woke, you understand that, you know, the racism is
10:58
Speaker 2: still around. Like that was kind of the early stages
11:01
Speaker 2: of it, wasn't It was like some people are still
11:04
Speaker 2: a racist. Yeah, I gotta grasp of that. I know.
11:07
Speaker 2: Does that make me woke that I know that there's
11:09
Speaker 2: still some racist people? Then you go, but is it?
11:12
Speaker 2: Are we woke? It we know that there's racism on
11:14
Speaker 2: both sides? Whoaha, whoa, you can't say that you're an
11:16
Speaker 2: extremist and you go, okay, got it. Anyway. So the
11:21
Speaker 2: person I'm talking about is Bill Maher. Bill Maher, who
11:24
Speaker 2: himself would have been leading the charge as far as
11:27
Speaker 2: possible to the left at one time. Suddenly the line
11:29
Speaker 2: got moved drastically to the left, and he's like, wait
11:31
Speaker 2: a minute, I'm still left. I don't think he's even
11:36
Speaker 2: like left of center. I think he's pretty pretty over there,
11:39
Speaker 2: but he's not way over there. I think he's a
11:42
Speaker 2: little more like you're kind of classic liberal in a
11:45
Speaker 2: lot of ways, right, other than I think the classic
11:48
Speaker 2: liberal is a bit more religious in a lot of
11:52
Speaker 2: like the hell of a church background. He's very much
11:55
Speaker 2: an atheist. So we've seen something that he did on Friday,
11:59
Speaker 2: and a number of places online, if you're on Instagram
12:02
Speaker 2: or you're on YouTube, or you're on you know, Facebook,
12:05
Speaker 2: you've seen these reels where people go out on the
12:07
Speaker 2: street and they interview people. And I think maybe some
12:10
Speaker 2: of the Fox hosted Jesse Waters, I think you used
12:12
Speaker 2: to do it, and they go around and they'll say
12:15
Speaker 2: to someone a quote, you know, from the other side,
12:20
Speaker 2: and these conservative cases, you would go in and you
12:22
Speaker 2: would say, here's a here's a quote, and you know,
12:26
Speaker 2: maybe they're holding a picture, like in this case they're
12:30
Speaker 2: holding a picture of Trump, and they would they would
12:32
Speaker 2: read a quote out and the person would say, oh,
12:35
Speaker 2: that's horrible, that's terrible. I can't believe. That's the perfect
12:39
Speaker 2: example of what a fascist dictator that he is. And
12:43
Speaker 2: then the person with a microphone would basically go, well,
12:46
Speaker 2: this was Obama said this, and then they feel like
12:49
Speaker 2: an idiot because it's clear that that's kind of the game.
12:53
Speaker 2: It's just one side bad because they're on that side.
12:57
Speaker 2: That's not new. What Bill Maherr did is he had
13:04
Speaker 2: Adam Schiff on his show Friday, and he basically threw
13:12
Speaker 2: out a quote to Adam Schiff and he sort of
13:17
Speaker 2: asked him, you know what you think about this quote,
13:22
Speaker 2: and he said, he basically said, this statement from the administration,
13:29
Speaker 2: the president has the constitutional authority to direct the use
13:32
Speaker 2: of military force because he could reasonably determine that such
13:37
Speaker 2: a use of force was in the national interest. And
13:40
Speaker 2: then he asked shift is that too vague for you?
13:42
Speaker 2: And Schiff said totally vague. And that's when mar jumped
13:48
Speaker 2: in and said, okay, because this is from Obama about Libya. Now,
13:55
Speaker 2: when you see this happen on the street, in these
13:58
Speaker 2: interviews from just kind of general citizens people just walking
14:04
Speaker 2: around and they see it and they go, oh, I'm
14:06
Speaker 2: going to give you my thoughts on it. Let me
14:08
Speaker 2: give you my opinion. This just hit differently, and you know,
14:15
Speaker 2: some saying, oh, that's a dirty trick. That's a dirty trick.
14:23
Speaker 2: Schiff kind of started talking about Syria and Obama when
14:29
Speaker 2: he said he could go into Syria without authorization, and
14:34
Speaker 2: the quote there was he said, ultimately he did not
14:36
Speaker 2: go forward with going after then president in Syria, and
14:44
Speaker 2: he said even though Asad was guessing his own people
14:47
Speaker 2: because he thought he may lose the vote in Congress.
14:51
Speaker 2: But I respect the fact that that was important to him,
14:54
Speaker 2: and the fact that he does not have the support
14:56
Speaker 2: of Congress meant that we weren't going forward. Here is
15:01
Speaker 2: the point that I think we need to realize is
15:05
Speaker 2: when we don't know who said the quote, it changes
15:12
Speaker 2: the way we have to think about the quote. And
15:15
Speaker 2: when you paint yourself into a position where you say,
15:20
Speaker 2: I know who said this quote. And we saw a
15:22
Speaker 2: lot of this during the twenty twenty election because people
15:26
Speaker 2: were pulling out these quotes from Joe Biden's younger days
15:31
Speaker 2: and they were very racist, some of them very sexist,
15:37
Speaker 2: and things that he said, and then people were just
15:39
Speaker 2: assuming that these were Trump quotes, and once they realized
15:44
Speaker 2: they were Biden, suddenly they were much more justifiable and
15:47
Speaker 2: they voted for him. Anyway, I assume you assume they
15:50
Speaker 2: didn't walk away from that and go wow, I didn't
15:52
Speaker 2: realize he said all these horrible racist things. That changes
15:56
Speaker 2: my opinion. It's not what we do. That's what some
15:58
Speaker 2: of us do, but a lot of the people in
16:02
Speaker 2: these street interviews aren't doing it. But the point is
16:06
Speaker 2: for this to happen to Adam Shifts. I mean, this
16:09
Speaker 2: is a clown anyway, right, But the fact that this
16:12
Speaker 2: happened to him, and the fact that Bill Maher was
16:14
Speaker 2: prepared to do it and to do it this way
16:17
Speaker 2: was interesting. Now, that's about as much of it as
16:21
Speaker 2: I've seen. I didn't again, back to my aforementioned I
16:25
Speaker 2: don't really do that. I don't really dive headfirst into
16:28
Speaker 2: all of this. But it was interesting. It was interesting
16:33
Speaker 2: to see it play out. It was interesting to see
16:35
Speaker 2: it play out this way between these two people. And
16:40
Speaker 2: I do think maybe if we would take the time
16:42
Speaker 2: to actually be a little bit more informed rather than
16:46
Speaker 2: just jumping with our team's colors, we'd probably all be
16:49
Speaker 2: better off. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State

Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
19:25
Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got. With colder or
19:28
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
19:33
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
19:35
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
19:38
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
19:40
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
19:44
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
19:47
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
19:49
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
19:51
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
19:54
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
19:57
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
19:59
Speaker 2: trap inside your garage and your garage door won't open
20:03
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help. And they do
20:06
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,
20:09

20:17
Speaker 2: the break. It is a new study out of Tampa
20:29
Speaker 2: done by a law firm showing that golf cart crashes
20:33
Speaker 2: in the state of Florida have been steadily climbing since
20:36
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, as the vehicles have become a common
20:40
Speaker 2: sight on public streets, experts warning slow moving carts becoming
20:45
Speaker 2: more and more of a problem, especially since they're often
20:47
Speaker 2: being driven around by kids, teenagers, and in some cases
20:53
Speaker 2: senior citizens, two age groups notorious for less than expert
20:57
Speaker 2: driving skills, at least between the teens and the seniors.
21:00
Speaker 2: My question is, why is this allowed at all on
21:05
Speaker 2: public streets? I get it in the neighborhoods where people
21:09
Speaker 2: kind of think, well, we're going to ride from you know,
21:13
Speaker 2: point A to point B, from someone's house to another
21:15
Speaker 2: person's house. I get why they would want to do that.
21:20
Speaker 2: I just don't understand why it's allowed. I mean, is
21:22
Speaker 2: it technically legal at all? I don't think it would be,
21:28
Speaker 2: especially if you don't have a license and you're on
21:30
Speaker 2: a roadway paid by taxpayers, right. I mean, I realized
21:36
Speaker 2: I could be seen as you know, they get off
21:39
Speaker 2: my lawn type at this stage, but they've become very
21:43
Speaker 2: inconvenient in my neighborhood, and you know, I just think
21:48
Speaker 2: it would be nice if, you know, maybe we didn't
21:51
Speaker 2: have so many of them. And I don't really understand
21:54
Speaker 2: the reason, and I don't also get the motorized electric
21:59
Speaker 2: bikes on roads. Is it a bike or is it
22:04
Speaker 2: a car? Which is it? Because if it's you know,
22:08
Speaker 2: if you're motorized on a bike, should it have a
22:13
Speaker 2: license plate? These are questions that I have. And I
22:17
Speaker 2: know you can ride a regular bike on the road
22:20
Speaker 2: without I don't think you have to have a license
22:21
Speaker 2: plate for that. But once it's motorized and it's doing
22:24
Speaker 2: you know, thirty five miles an hour on a roadway
22:27
Speaker 2: or whatever they get up to, and excuse my ignorance
22:30
Speaker 2: that I don't really know, but anyway, I don't know,
22:33
Speaker 2: and as the crashes are starting to go off, I
22:35
Speaker 2: think it's a fair question. Scientists on the International Space
22:38
Speaker 2: Station successfully use tiny living organisms to mine precious metals
22:43
Speaker 2: like platinum from meteorites. Using specific bacteria that produce also
22:50
Speaker 2: fung guy that produce natural acids, the team able to
22:54
Speaker 2: pull valuable minerals out of space rocks more effectively than
22:58
Speaker 2: traditional Earth based methods. Biomining is a thing, and this
23:03
Speaker 2: breakthrough in biomining is a pretty big deal for future
23:07
Speaker 2: space travel, meaning that astronauts could eventually harvest raw materials
23:12
Speaker 2: they need for repairs and fuel in orbit rather than
23:16
Speaker 2: waiting for very expensive deliveries from Earth. Not bad. This
23:22
Speaker 2: is why we have people on the International Space Station.
23:24
Speaker 2: So most people say, why do we do that? Why
23:26
Speaker 2: don't we fund that? There's some great science going there's
23:28
Speaker 2: also a lot of medical science taking place up there.
23:33
Speaker 2: With the Winter Olympics behind us, we can kind of
23:37
Speaker 2: shift our focus to we've got Summer Olympics and World
23:40
Speaker 2: Cup coming up. And on the subject of the World Cup,
23:44
Speaker 2: is that's coming up fast? Coming up before the Olympics.
23:48
Speaker 2: There are some new laws coming into play when it
23:52
Speaker 2: comes to liquor laws in some of the World Cup cities.
23:57
Speaker 2: New York, for example, Lawmaker Tony working to pass a
24:01
Speaker 2: sip and Stroll bill that would allow soccer fans to
24:05
Speaker 2: carry adult beverages outdoors in special entertainment zones this summer.
24:10
Speaker 2: The plan aims to help local bars and restaurants and
24:14
Speaker 2: some of the areas where this would be impactful as
24:18
Speaker 2: the large crowds will be there for the World Cup.
24:22
Speaker 2: So the idea has a lot of support, skeptics warning
24:25
Speaker 2: that three months might not be enough time to get
24:27
Speaker 2: the state's strict liquor bureaucrats on board. We'll see if
24:31
Speaker 2: someone can get it in time for the World Cup
24:33
Speaker 2: as things get started in June. And will any other
24:37
Speaker 2: cities start to consider this, I don't know, but it
24:40
Speaker 2: certainly seems like there could be some benefit and justification
24:46
Speaker 2: for it. Some places obviously probably would just say no
24:49
Speaker 2: and fold their arms and stick out their lip. But
24:52
Speaker 2: I suppose there could be some advantages for it when
24:54
Speaker 2: you get these crowds coming in from all around the world,
24:56
Speaker 2: and you want to maximize the benefit, right, I want
25:00
Speaker 2: to maximize the dollars that are coming in from all
25:05
Speaker 2: around the world. All right. Speaking of drinking happy hour
25:08
Speaker 2: not just the classic after work drinks anymore. New survey
25:11
Speaker 2: found sixty percent of Americans think the whole idea has evolved.
25:16
Speaker 2: Most people, they say, it's less about cheap drinks and apps,
25:19
Speaker 2: and it's more about relaxing and unwinding distressing. Celebrating a
25:23
Speaker 2: little everyday wins is another thing they do with it.
25:28
Speaker 2: It am. I am. I hip that when I'm thinking
25:32
Speaker 2: about cheap drinks and apps, I'm thinking about my phone.
25:37
Speaker 2: I'm kind of I'm a true gen X, really am.
25:40
Speaker 2: But I sit there sometimes and I go but I
25:44
Speaker 2: guess I'm in that part of gen X where I
25:46
Speaker 2: can kind of relate to millennials a little bit. Maybe
25:51
Speaker 2: I don't know, but anyway, I thought that was interesting
25:53
Speaker 2: that that's what popped in my head. Friday is still
25:56
Speaker 2: the favorite day for happy hour, gen Z shaking things
26:00
Speaker 2: up those sayings, Saturday is better at home happy hours
26:03
Speaker 2: now edging out bars and restaurants, though Boomers prefer to
26:06
Speaker 2: have happy hour at another location, preferably or bar or
26:10
Speaker 2: restaurant for them. For those having happy hour at home,
26:13
Speaker 2: the backyard is the top spot or the couch or
26:18
Speaker 2: on the porch. Gen Z most likely to sit around
26:20
Speaker 2: on the kitchen island or in bed. Gen X and
26:25
Speaker 2: Millennials prefer the kitchen table for it. So all right,
26:30
Speaker 2: that'll do it for this Monday edition of the show.
26:32
Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thanks for listening. I'll
26:36
Speaker 2: catch you back here tomorrow morning.
