Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, twentieth day of August. I'm West Thanks for
0:16
Speaker 2: joining me, kicking off your day with me. Whether it's
0:19
Speaker 2: with a cup of coffee some cheerios, I don't know,
0:25
Speaker 2: what do you have. I like a bowl of grits
0:26
Speaker 2: in the morning, preferably with an egg in there. It's
0:30
Speaker 2: pretty good scrambled even Frida egg going in there is nice.
0:33
Speaker 2: I'll even throw a hard boiled egg in there. Sometimes
0:35
Speaker 2: you hard boil some eggs day before and you got
0:39
Speaker 2: one left over, and you think, man, I'm gonna throw
0:41
Speaker 2: it in there with my grits, cheese grits. There's nothing
0:43
Speaker 2: wrong with that either. You get a real inkling for
0:48
Speaker 2: you know, like the homemade crystal scrambler, and you can
0:51
Speaker 2: throw the eggs and the cheese and maybe a little
0:53
Speaker 2: bread in there if you want to do that. I
0:54
Speaker 2: know that's not really in the scrambler, but you get
0:56
Speaker 2: the idea. Now. I'm not making bacon in the morning, honest.
1:01
Speaker 2: I mean, I like bacon. I love bacon. I'm just
1:03
Speaker 2: not up making it every morning, those other things I
1:05
Speaker 2: can do in the morning. This morning, though, there's an
1:09
Speaker 2: avocado in my name on it. I bought one that
1:12
Speaker 2: was heavily discounted because it was ready to be eaten.
1:16
Speaker 2: So maybe some maybe a fried egg on some I
1:20
Speaker 2: may just go avocado toast this morning. I may just
1:23
Speaker 2: do that. I may go the healthiest possible, right, Not
1:25
Speaker 2: that there's anything wrong with the egg. We know that
1:27
Speaker 2: they're incredible and they are in fact edible, those eggs.
1:33
Speaker 2: Just a quick reminder. We're coming up a couple of
1:35
Speaker 2: days from now. Dragon Con pregame show powered by Columbus
1:38
Speaker 2: State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, where you can
1:42
Speaker 2: learn the science behind the fiction with special guests Katie Sakoff,
1:46
Speaker 2: Diana Lee and Asanto and Sam Witt. We're all from
1:48
Speaker 2: the Star Wars universe. Two of the three, like two
1:52
Speaker 2: thirds of them from the Battlestar Galactica universe, and one
1:56
Speaker 2: third of them you know, the goddaughter of Bruce Lee.
2:00
Speaker 2: It makes for a good entertaining interview, that's all I'm saying.
2:06
Speaker 2: Had a good time chatting with all of them, and
2:08
Speaker 2: you will have that for you this weekend Saturday and
2:12
Speaker 2: Sunday on about two hundred radio stations around the state
2:14
Speaker 2: of Georgia. And then the dragon Con Pregame Show podcast
2:18
Speaker 2: is past episodes already waiting for you right now, and
2:22
Speaker 2: then you'll have the new episodes wherever you get your

2:30
Speaker 2: a Stars this week tomorrow as we Doctor Sean Cruisin
2:35
Speaker 2: and I record the madea Stars podcast on Thursday's most weeks.
2:41
Speaker 2: Next week's show is one that we have already recorded,
2:46
Speaker 2: and we did this because we had a guest, an interview,
2:51
Speaker 2: Les Johnson, who is at the time when we recorded it,
2:56
Speaker 2: he was the chief technologist at the Marsh Space Flight
3:01
Speaker 2: Center in Alabama. And what's happened is he has very
3:07
Speaker 2: soon after our interview with him, announced he was going
3:09
Speaker 2: to be retiring. He is also a very accomplished science
3:15
Speaker 2: fiction writer. He's got a number of science fiction and
3:17
Speaker 2: even actual science books. He will also be appearing at
3:21
Speaker 2: dragon Con along with that other list of guests, and
3:24
Speaker 2: next week we'll have our interview with him talking about
3:27
Speaker 2: his career. His career choice is how he ended up
3:30
Speaker 2: where he ended up, and a very long and storied
3:33
Speaker 2: and accomplished career with NASA and retired and still writing books,
3:38
Speaker 2: and he will be at dragon Con speaking as a
3:41
Speaker 2: not only in science tracks, but he'll also be talking
3:44
Speaker 2: and meeting folks as a science fiction writer. So excited
3:48
Speaker 2: about that episode of Made of Stars, which will be
3:51
Speaker 2: available to you. I believe we're going to release that
3:53
Speaker 2: on Tuesday next week, because next week I will be
3:56
Speaker 2: off to dragon Con, and by Thursday, that's the day
4:00
Speaker 2: when things really get started at dragon Con, so you'll
4:03
Speaker 2: be able to hear that. And again thanks to Columbus
4:06
Speaker 2: State University's co Cola Space Science Center, and one of
4:09
Speaker 2: the things we talked about in that interview of those
4:10
Speaker 2: connections between science and science fiction and how each side
4:14
Speaker 2: is feeding the other and all of that. All right,
4:18
Speaker 2: let's jump into today's topic because we had a few
4:21
Speaker 2: things to discuss, and it is an interesting place that
4:26
Speaker 2: we are in, and it's an interesting time as things
4:30
Speaker 2: have changed since November. It was starting to change before November,
4:36
Speaker 2: clearly because people did not wake up on election Day
4:39
Speaker 2: in November and just suddenly go, I'm tired of a
4:42
Speaker 2: lot of things. There's some nonsense out there, and I'm
4:46
Speaker 2: tired of it. So today, I'm changing my mind and
4:49
Speaker 2: I'm going to vote for Donald Trump. That's not the
4:51
Speaker 2: way it played out. And we were being told all
4:54
Speaker 2: of last year how things were continuing as is, and
4:58
Speaker 2: there were no changes. There were no sweeping change in
5:02
Speaker 2: the country. There was no mindset change, there was no
5:06
Speaker 2: collection of people that were starting to really I don't
5:10
Speaker 2: think they were gathering in mass This wasn't a situation
5:13
Speaker 2: where you had mobs of people getting together. What you
5:17
Speaker 2: had was people around the country waking up to common sense.
5:21
Speaker 2: And maybe it's this thing that we talked about with
5:24
Speaker 2: Denzel Washington this week, because you know, Denzel Washington got
5:28
Speaker 2: to the point where he was asked, you know what
5:30
Speaker 2: about cancel culture, and he's like, he can't be canceled
5:32
Speaker 2: if you don't sign up, and I think that's where
5:33
Speaker 2: a lot of Americans are. I was a little hard
5:36
Speaker 2: on Denzel, not intentionally, and it's not so much that
5:40
Speaker 2: I was trying to be hard on Denzel. I was
5:42
Speaker 2: just trying to point out the fact that when you
5:44
Speaker 2: are in the acting community and you're really uncancellable, and
5:49
Speaker 2: I think Denzel has gotten to that status. There's a
5:52
Speaker 2: handful of actors that are at that point. If you remember,
5:56
Speaker 2: Morgan Freeman spoke against portraying racism and things, and again,
6:02
Speaker 2: he's kind of uncancellable. He survived that even though there
6:06
Speaker 2: were people who were not happy with the things that
6:08
Speaker 2: he said. And there's just some people that will have
6:11
Speaker 2: that opportunity. They can't be canceled. You know, there's been
6:14
Speaker 2: folks in sports, Martina Nevratalova who had things to say
6:21
Speaker 2: about men playing in women's sports and the differences between
6:24
Speaker 2: the genders, and defending comments that were made by people
6:28
Speaker 2: like John McEnroe when he were talking about, hey, Serena
6:30
Speaker 2: Williams best women's tennis player of all time, and people went, hey,
6:33
Speaker 2: well what about best tennis player of all time? And
6:37
Speaker 2: we all know the reality and Martina and Evertzlova pointed
6:40
Speaker 2: it out, Look, this is not somebody who can compete
6:42
Speaker 2: against men. None of us can. It's just the reality
6:46
Speaker 2: of things. And she's uncancellable. It's Martina, it's the reality.
6:52
Speaker 2: She's not going to be canceled. There's nothing that's going
6:54
Speaker 2: to happen to her. It's oh, there's not. I don't
6:57
Speaker 2: think there's anything she would do that would get herself canceled.
6:59
Speaker 2: But there's things things that could eventually get you canceled.
7:01
Speaker 2: Let's be honest. We thought Bill Cosby was uncancellable, and
7:05
Speaker 2: then we learned a lot of things that went, oh yeah, okay,
7:08
Speaker 2: well that's fair. So let's be real for a minute.
7:12
Speaker 2: Nobody's uncancellable, but uncancellable for unjustified things is maybe the
7:17
Speaker 2: way to say it. So we talked about that. We've
7:21
Speaker 2: talked about the fact that Denzel is one of those
7:24
Speaker 2: people who came out and had things to say, and
7:27
Speaker 2: I think a lot of the country was there already, right,
7:31
Speaker 2: and I think that's just the reality people were starting
7:34
Speaker 2: to feel that. We want justice. We want people that
7:37
Speaker 2: have come in the country illegally to go home. We
7:40
Speaker 2: want people who are in the country up to no
7:42
Speaker 2: good to go home. We want people who skip the
7:46
Speaker 2: line and jumped ahead of everybody else it's waiting fairly
7:49
Speaker 2: for their opportunity to become American citizens to be able
7:53
Speaker 2: to do that. We want people that break the laws
7:54
Speaker 2: to be punished. We want and this is just one
7:59
Speaker 2: of those things that and I don't like the Karen
8:01
Speaker 2: thing that people talk about Karens every time. Basically the
8:05
Speaker 2: Karen thing is when a white woman has something that
8:09
Speaker 2: goes wrong for them, Like they're in a store and
8:12
Speaker 2: they say, I bought a hamburger and you gave me
8:15
Speaker 2: a chicken sandwich, and then the person behind the counter says,
8:19
Speaker 2: you know, no, I gave you food, and they say, well,
8:22
Speaker 2: I'd like to see the manager, and people go, oh,
8:24
Speaker 2: there's a Karen. That's where it started. It was that mindset.
8:29
Speaker 2: Of course, there have been classic examples now of people
8:32
Speaker 2: who are completely in the wrong that people have labeled
8:36
Speaker 2: with Karen. And it wasn't something as simple as that,
8:38
Speaker 2: But to be honest, it seems like anytime you have
8:42
Speaker 2: and it's typically a white woman who says I'd like
8:46
Speaker 2: to speak to the manager, and then people go after
8:49
Speaker 2: them and say, oh, they're just a Karen. Look at
8:51
Speaker 2: this Karen with a Karen haircut. Have you noticed? And
8:56
Speaker 2: I've spoken about this a couple of times, but one
8:59
Speaker 2: of the things that pop in my feed very regularly
9:01
Speaker 2: on social media when I'm scrolling is these videos of
9:04
Speaker 2: people getting pulled over by the police and they don't
9:06
Speaker 2: know how to interact with police. And we've created this
9:09
Speaker 2: dynamic now of people in the country who don't know
9:12
Speaker 2: how to interact with police, and it's getting them in
9:15
Speaker 2: more trouble than they need to be in a simple yes, no,
9:19
Speaker 2: here's my ID, here's my insurance card. I'm sorry, what
9:24
Speaker 2: was I doing? Get on with your day. But this
9:28
Speaker 2: idea of I'm a sovereign citizen or I am special
9:32
Speaker 2: and I don't have to have an ID. But in
9:35
Speaker 2: these videos, if you haven't had the pleasure of watching one,
9:38
Speaker 2: and the satisfaction for me usually comes when they actually
9:42
Speaker 2: do get put in handcuffs for their behavior, and I
9:46
Speaker 2: feel like there's some sense of justice. I think that's
9:49
Speaker 2: what I get from it. But if you haven't watched
9:52
Speaker 2: these videos, it's worth watching because the person inevitably will
9:57
Speaker 2: pull thee. I'd like to see your supervisor, the police officer.
10:01
Speaker 2: This has become a thing. This is a standard thing
10:03
Speaker 2: that gets pulled out on a traffic stuff. I want
10:05
Speaker 2: to see your supervisor. I'm not comfortable. I'm not safe
10:08
Speaker 2: with you here because you're clearly a big, bad police officer.
10:11
Speaker 2: Another thing that we've created in this culture we're in.
10:15
Speaker 2: How's that not a Karen anyway tangent? Sorry, that's because
10:19
Speaker 2: that's what the Karens. The classic Karens are accused of
10:22
Speaker 2: is asking for the supervisor. But what I want to
10:24
Speaker 2: talk about is we've had this thing that's happened now
10:27
Speaker 2: with TV shows. We've seen now the Stephen Colbert Late
10:31
Speaker 2: Show is going to be canceled next year. He's got
10:35
Speaker 2: some time he'll get till May to finish out a
10:37
Speaker 2: full season of shows before they figure out whatever's going
10:40
Speaker 2: in next And people say, oh my gosh, here can
10:43
Speaker 2: they're going to cancel it? Can you believe it? They're
10:45
Speaker 2: canceling it because Trump wanted it canceled, And that's not
10:48
Speaker 2: what it is. CBS makes a decision when they have
10:51
Speaker 2: someone that buys into the company, into Paramount, and they say, look,
10:55
Speaker 2: shows losing forty million dollars a year. People aren't watching
10:59
Speaker 2: it because on Hostlye people don't necessarily need to watch
11:02
Speaker 2: late night talk shows that make fun of one political
11:04
Speaker 2: party and take no shots at the other. You've eliminated
11:09
Speaker 2: half of the audience, the people that'll care. We've seen
11:11
Speaker 2: this happen in the Star Wars shows that are produced
11:15
Speaker 2: for Disney Plus. There have been shows they come along
11:17
Speaker 2: and they say, we're gonna like this show, and we're
11:20
Speaker 2: gonna tell a story, and we're gonna have a lot
11:22
Speaker 2: of things that really deviate kind of from the spirit
11:24
Speaker 2: of what people thought Star Wars was, we're gonna have
11:27
Speaker 2: this strong little communist connection with this coven of women,
11:31
Speaker 2: and we're gonna have these twins born and this coven
11:35
Speaker 2: of women, and we're gonna have we're gonna be telling
11:38
Speaker 2: these stories from this perspective of pushing in some LGBTQ
11:43
Speaker 2: plus themes and communist themes, and people went, the show's
11:46
Speaker 2: not that good. Show wasn't that good. It just wasn't entertaining.
11:51
Speaker 2: It wasn't anything that anybody really needed to see or
11:53
Speaker 2: wanted to see. And people went, they didn't watch it
11:56
Speaker 2: because of those themes. That may be the case, but
12:01
Speaker 2: they didn't watch it because the main actress is black. No,
12:04
Speaker 2: it's just that the show wasn't very good at all.
12:07
Speaker 2: And it lasted one season and that was it. And
12:09
Speaker 2: then they move on and now we've got another show
12:13
Speaker 2: that has fallen by the wayside, and it's the continuation
12:18
Speaker 2: show called and just like that, it's the sequel, if
12:23
Speaker 2: you will, to Sex and the City. And they've had
12:27
Speaker 2: three seasons and the final season came along and the
12:30
Speaker 2: show ended, and they had a lot apparently in the
12:34
Speaker 2: course of those three seasons as shows about people finding
12:37
Speaker 2: their sexuality and their sexual identity and all those sorts
12:40
Speaker 2: of things. And with the show being canceled and people
12:44
Speaker 2: just talking about how horrible it was, and some people
12:47
Speaker 2: have said they were watching the show because of how
12:51
Speaker 2: bad it was and they were hate watching it, like
12:54
Speaker 2: it was like watching an ed Wood movie or some
12:57
Speaker 2: notoriously bad movie. And now you get Sarah Jessica Parker saying,
13:05
Speaker 2: I don't think I have the constitution to spend a
13:07
Speaker 2: lot of time thinking about that, referning of those viewers.
13:11
Speaker 2: We always worked incredibly hard to tell stories that were
13:13
Speaker 2: interesting or real. I guess I don't really care. And
13:18
Speaker 2: the reason I don't care is because it has been
13:20
Speaker 2: so enormously successful and the connections it has made with
13:25
Speaker 2: audiences have been very meaningful. So this is another example
13:29
Speaker 2: of we don't care if the audience wants to watch this.
13:35
Speaker 2: This is the story that we want to tell, and
13:37
Speaker 2: we're going to tell it. And if people aren't on board,
13:42
Speaker 2: if people aren't capable of watching it and enjoying it,
13:46
Speaker 2: well that's their problem. They're the ones who made the mistake.
13:51
Speaker 2: It's their issue, not ours. This is not because we've
13:57
Speaker 2: done something wrong or we've missed udged to an audience.
14:01
Speaker 2: This is the audience's fault for just not getting it,
14:04
Speaker 2: or the people who are angry about it and don't
14:06
Speaker 2: want to watch it. It's their fault. And the reality,
14:10
Speaker 2: of course, is you need to care about the people
14:14
Speaker 2: watching it if you want the show to continue on. Now.
14:16
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong. You have a show, a successful
14:19
Speaker 2: a Sex in the City and some of the movie
14:21
Speaker 2: spin offs and things. Hey, you can have whatever kind
14:25
Speaker 2: of show you want to have. It doesn't matter if
14:27
Speaker 2: the audience is there. You don't need the audience. I
14:31
Speaker 2: mean you need it if you want to keep doing
14:32
Speaker 2: the show. But you're fully capable of saying we're gonna
14:35
Speaker 2: make whatever we want to make and if you don't
14:37
Speaker 2: watch it, we'll just pack it up and go home.
14:39
Speaker 2: And that's something that she certainly has earned the ability
14:43
Speaker 2: to do that. But to speak about the audience like
14:47
Speaker 2: it's their problem, it's their fault that they're not clued
14:50
Speaker 2: in on these stories that we want to tell. They
14:53
Speaker 2: just don't get it. The audience isn't there. Speaking of
14:57
Speaker 2: the audience not being there. Did you see that MSNBC
15:01
Speaker 2: is now ms now rip MSNBC a network that definitely
15:06
Speaker 2: needed a rebranding. This seems to be the symbolic what's
15:10
Speaker 2: going a symbolic example of a TV network. It's doing
15:15
Speaker 2: what the Democrat Party is doing in general, trying to
15:18
Speaker 2: find a new identity, trying to figure out who they are.
15:22
Speaker 2: But ms now is the new name for the network.
15:26
Speaker 2: I don't know that that's going to attract viewers. I
15:28
Speaker 2: saw an incredibly funny joke. I wish that I could
15:31
Speaker 2: say I thought of it, but and I'm not even
15:33
Speaker 2: sure who actually came up with a joke. I saw
15:36
Speaker 2: it shared a few times by different people. But the
15:38
Speaker 2: speculation on whether the name ms now means no one's watching,
15:44
Speaker 2: that's pretty accurate. I mean, there's not many people watching,
15:48
Speaker 2: if there is really anyone watching, and it's pretty good.
15:53
Speaker 2: It's a solid joke as far as I'm concerned. But
15:57
Speaker 2: I don't know that this new rebranding is going to
16:02
Speaker 2: make any difference at all for them moving forward. I
16:06
Speaker 2: suspect it's not. I think they also need to find
16:09
Speaker 2: an identity. I think they need to try to figure
16:11
Speaker 2: out whether or not they have a clear message that
16:17
Speaker 2: they are pushing because much like the Democrat Party, they're
16:21
Speaker 2: floundering and there's a struggle now for some sense of
16:26
Speaker 2: identity and if they can't find it, and I don't
16:29
Speaker 2: think it's just a new name that they need. I
16:32
Speaker 2: think it's more than that. I think there's a lot
16:38
Speaker 2: going on when it comes to trying to figure out
16:41
Speaker 2: who they are. I didn't mention the name. I just
16:43
Speaker 2: realized I had never said the Acolyte, the name of
16:45
Speaker 2: the Star Wars show that had the coven of communist witches.
16:50
Speaker 2: And yeah, it was just a bad show. It was
16:54
Speaker 2: really bad. And I know there's been some other shows
16:56
Speaker 2: people say that one wasn't very good. This one wasn't great.
16:59
Speaker 2: Most of them were at least watchable. There were about
17:02
Speaker 2: two episodes of Accolyte that were watchable. The rest of
17:04
Speaker 2: it was absolute garbage. There are people who will die
17:07
Speaker 2: on the hill and say, no, no, it was really good.
17:09
Speaker 2: No it wasn't. It wasn't good at all. It wasn't
17:12
Speaker 2: and it wasn't written for me. It wasn't written for
17:14
Speaker 2: anybody I know. It wasn't written for any of the
17:17
Speaker 2: Star Wars fans that I know. I don't know anyone
17:19
Speaker 2: who watched it and thought, my goodness, we got to
17:21
Speaker 2: get more of this. So you got to know the audience.
17:26
Speaker 2: You got to know that if you want to continue
17:29
Speaker 2: on with a project, you're going to have to have
17:31
Speaker 2: a way to actually work with the audience. You're going
17:35
Speaker 2: to have to find a way to meet the audience
17:36
Speaker 2: somewhere where they are. And right now, the audience isn't
17:39
Speaker 2: on the extreme far left. They don't need people trying
17:43
Speaker 2: to figure out their sexual identity in a show that's
17:46
Speaker 2: not new. This is nothing revolutionary now, this is not
17:49
Speaker 2: a new theme for a show. Now, maybe you make
17:53
Speaker 2: a show that actually has someone who is, you know,
17:56
Speaker 2: looking to pursue their Christian faith. That would be controversial
18:01
Speaker 2: and questionable, now, wouldn't it. That's not the same kind
18:04
Speaker 2: of show that we're used to. That would be different.
18:06
Speaker 2: Maybe it is time for a reboot of Little House
18:09
Speaker 2: on the Prairie. Today's show brought to you by Columbus
18:12
Speaker 2: State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center. Inspiring and educating

18:29
Speaker 2: Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
18:32
Speaker 2: through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
18:37
Speaker 2: and the careers in space and stem fields are booming
18:42
Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
18:45

Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
19:03
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
19:08
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
19:10
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
19:14
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
19:19
Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
19:23
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
19:26
Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows
19:31

19:37
Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
19:41
Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference
19:43
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night
19:46
Speaker 2: events also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As
19:51
Speaker 2: Sean Crusan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I
19:55
Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
19:59
Speaker 2: Science Center CSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
20:03
Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
20:06
Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
20:12
Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
20:16
Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
20:20
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
20:23
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
20:26
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
20:29
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
20:32
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
20:35
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
20:38
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
20:40
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
20:44
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
20:47
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
20:51
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
20:54
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
20:57
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
21:00
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
21:03
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
21:06
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
21:08
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
21:11
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
21:12
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
21:15
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
21:18
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
21:21
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
21:24
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
21:27
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thory five eight forty five
21:30
Speaker 2: hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred
21:33
Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
21:37
Speaker 2: after the break. There are fantoms that cover a lot.
21:50
Speaker 2: There are people that are obsessed with things like Star Wars.
21:54
Speaker 2: There are people that obsessed with dinosaurs, people that are
21:56
Speaker 2: obsessed with trains, people that are obsessed with sports right
22:02
Speaker 2: or a specific athlete. There's all these sorts of fandoms
22:04
Speaker 2: that come into play, and there is a specific group
22:10
Speaker 2: of people that are diehard fans of everything to do
22:15
Speaker 2: with the Titanic. And there's apparently now a woman who
22:20
Speaker 2: has gone viral. She lives in New York and she's
22:22
Speaker 2: turning her apartment into a shrine to the Titanic and
22:26
Speaker 2: showing the transformation on social media. And this is like
22:31
Speaker 2: blue walls, blue carpet to mimic the ocean, dozens of
22:37
Speaker 2: replicas from the movie. And she says that she's a
22:41
Speaker 2: huge fan of the movie, but she says the main
22:44
Speaker 2: reason that she's doing it is not so much about
22:46
Speaker 2: that fandom, but it's because she's bored. Because she's bored,
22:54
Speaker 2: that's it. That's all that she needs. So yeah, that's uh,
23:00
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a guess, a reason to do something,
23:03
Speaker 2: all right. There's a are you ready for some of
23:06
Speaker 2: the new words that have made their way into the
23:08
Speaker 2: Cambridge Dictionary, And there is one that has a lot
23:13
Speaker 2: of people going, I don't know about this one. This
23:16
Speaker 2: is a weird I mean, some of them are typically weird.
23:19
Speaker 2: I'll get to the really weird one in a minute.
23:22
Speaker 2: But some of the new words going in new editions.
23:25
Speaker 2: Trad wife short for traditional wife. Okay, delulu that is
23:31
Speaker 2: a playful take on delusional. I married. I married someone
23:37
Speaker 2: from Australia and she has a lot They have a
23:40
Speaker 2: lot of slang words that when you hear it, you
23:43
Speaker 2: go what that makes sense? And delulu that makes sense
23:46
Speaker 2: that it's fine. Mouse jiggler that's the thing that you
23:51
Speaker 2: can put under your mouse to make it look like
23:54
Speaker 2: you're working remotely and makes your mouse show that it's
23:57
Speaker 2: moving and you're not away from your machine forever. Chemical
24:01
Speaker 2: that's a harmful substance that sticks around in the environment
24:04
Speaker 2: for a long time. Enspo short for inspiration. That could
24:08
Speaker 2: be an Australian one as well. It's not, but it
24:11
Speaker 2: could be. Broligarchy used to describe a group of rich
24:15
Speaker 2: and powerful men, usually in tech. And then how about skibbeity. Yeah,
24:26
Speaker 2: and it's a it's one of those weird slang terms.
24:30
Speaker 2: The Dictionary defines it as Gibberish slang for cool or
24:34
Speaker 2: bad or nothing at all. And there's a guess like
24:39
Speaker 2: six thousand new words added to the dictionary. But if
24:42
Speaker 2: you know anything about the origins of the word skibbety
24:46
Speaker 2: and where that comes from, and yes, it involves a
24:48
Speaker 2: head coming out of a toilet, then you would know
24:52
Speaker 2: why people are confused about the addition of the word
24:56
Speaker 2: skibbety that has made its way into to the dictionary.
25:02
Speaker 2: If you've got one more vacation to squeeze in before
25:06
Speaker 2: I guess the official summer ending, and you know it's
25:10
Speaker 2: coming up fast with I mean, we've got a little
25:12
Speaker 2: bit more in the calendar summer as far as the
25:15
Speaker 2: I guess astronomical summer, the calendar summer really ends, you
25:20
Speaker 2: know it'll be this year. It'll be the same day
25:22
Speaker 2: that I think the unofficial end of summer, which will
25:25
Speaker 2: be Labor Day. Well, if you are trying to squeak
25:29
Speaker 2: you in a vacation involves a rental car, experts say
25:33
Speaker 2: you should definitely bring along sanitizing wipes because you're gonna
25:36
Speaker 2: need it. The borrowed car may be free of clutter
25:39
Speaker 2: and garbage, when you sit down in it, it's actually
25:42
Speaker 2: a mobile Petri dish of germs and filthier than you
25:46
Speaker 2: may think. A recent study done by Chlorox pro swab
25:49
Speaker 2: test in rental cars across the US to find out
25:52
Speaker 2: where the real grime hides and the steering wheel and
25:55
Speaker 2: door handles are pretty good germ collectors. The dirtiest part
25:58
Speaker 2: of the rental car is the driver side door floor mat,
26:03
Speaker 2: which recorded nearly twelve hundred germs. The trunk came in second,
26:08
Speaker 2: and probably not surprising, the cup holders were next on
26:12
Speaker 2: the list, followed by the dashboard air vents. All things
26:16
Speaker 2: that are kind of right there in your face where
26:19
Speaker 2: you can breathe things in, take things in, and it
26:21
Speaker 2: can just all be real disgusting. Keep in mind that
26:25
Speaker 2: during COVID that's one of the things that car dealerships
26:28
Speaker 2: for doing. Bring it in and we'll wipe out all
26:30
Speaker 2: the inside of your car. Just because we're not worried
26:33
Speaker 2: in the pandemic sense anymore doesn't mean there's not really
26:37
Speaker 2: disgusting germs in those places. That'll do it. For this

Speaker 2: fiction and the connections between where science fiction sometimes leads
