- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews you need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Thursday morning, twelfth day of March. I'm Wes, thanks for
- 0:14Speaker 2: joining me. We're in that phase of the spring where
- 0:19Speaker 2: we're getting that bit of taste of it's warm and
- 0:22Speaker 2: it's cool, and it's warm, it's cool.
- 0:24Speaker 3: That's just kind of the.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Way that transition works for us here in this part
- 0:28Speaker 2: of the country, and it's just.
- 0:31Speaker 3: How it goes. We're used to it.
- 0:33Speaker 2: And I hope that you haven't packed away all of
- 0:36Speaker 2: you all of your warm clothes, because it's gonna cool
- 0:39Speaker 2: down a bit. I mean, it's just gonna happen and
- 0:41Speaker 2: then we'll get back out of it. But it's we're
- 0:43Speaker 2: in this phase now of that back and forth and
- 0:49Speaker 2: maybe we will finally roll officially into spring. A lot
- 0:53Speaker 2: of people with mowers over the weekend, a lot of
- 0:57Speaker 2: pollen everywhere. We're in that stage of it. So I
- 0:59Speaker 2: hope you're already taking your allergy meds because if you
- 1:02Speaker 2: need them, because.
- 1:03Speaker 3: You I don't know, maybe should be.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Again, not a doctor, not a surprise to anybody, not
- 1:09Speaker 2: shocking anybody by telling them that I'm not a doctor,
- 1:13Speaker 2: not even an honorary doctor, none of that. Not a
- 1:18Speaker 2: doctor of something that isn't a health profession. I'm not
- 1:20Speaker 2: any of those. Nothing about me is, you know, doctor,
- 1:25Speaker 2: I'm not a doctor level anything. So a few things
- 1:30Speaker 2: I want to talk about this morning. And I just
- 1:36Speaker 2: there's like a growing sentiment now of these little things
- 1:41Speaker 2: that people are labeling, I guess microaggressions or these things
- 1:46Speaker 2: that we should be you know, looking down our nose
- 1:50Speaker 2: at other people.
- 1:50Speaker 3: For one of those things is.
- 1:55Speaker 2: It's become more and more of a thing. And I
- 1:59Speaker 2: want want to be very clear on a couple of things.
- 2:02Speaker 2: And I hate certain types of debates and discussions because
- 2:07Speaker 2: it gets very bulky when you try to explain, and
- 2:13Speaker 2: I think that we make it so much more complicated
- 2:16Speaker 2: than it needs to be. And I'll start with one
- 2:20Speaker 2: and this isn't really related to the topic.
- 2:21Speaker 3: It's just an example of one that.
- 2:25Speaker 2: I'll throw out, and it's just it's one of those discussions.
- 2:29Speaker 2: If you have this with someone, you're basically walking through
- 2:33Speaker 2: a minefield because people don't want to hear what you're saying.
- 2:38Speaker 2: What they want to hear is whatever thing that they're
- 2:41Speaker 2: going to take offense to whatever you're saying. So and
- 2:46Speaker 2: it's on the subject in this case of seat belt laws, Okay,
- 2:52Speaker 2: I'm pro seat belt I'm just anti seat belt laws. Okay,
- 2:58Speaker 2: I understand that. And let me also clarify this. I'm
- 3:05Speaker 2: pro minor seat belt laws.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Okay.
- 3:09Speaker 2: I think anybody, even under eighteen, they should be wearing
- 3:12Speaker 2: a seat belt anyway. Okay, I think everyone should be
- 3:17Speaker 2: wearing a seat belt, but I think it's okay to
- 3:19Speaker 2: me enforce it if they're under eighteen and the parents
- 3:23Speaker 2: aren't being responsible and making them wear a seat belt,
- 3:26Speaker 2: maybe there's some wiggle room on that sixteen once they're
- 3:29Speaker 2: driving the car. Whatever you want to say. I just
- 3:32Speaker 2: think everyone should wear their seat belt because they should
- 3:35Speaker 2: choose to wear their seat belt, and I think that
- 3:38Speaker 2: having seat belt laws is something that's really probably more
- 3:43Speaker 2: about insurance companies than anything else. Okay, I'm just that's
- 3:49Speaker 2: my opinion. That's where I am on it. But anytime
- 3:52Speaker 2: you say that out loud, it immediately becomes what you don't.
- 3:55Speaker 3: Like seat belts. It's not that I don't, it's got
- 3:57Speaker 3: nothing to do with it.
- 3:59Speaker 2: I wear my seat belt every single time I get
- 4:02Speaker 2: in a car. And I have most of my life
- 4:06Speaker 2: every single time. However, I just don't think that there
- 4:11Speaker 2: should be I think if you're going to allow someone
- 4:14Speaker 2: to get on a motorcycle and ride and then say,
- 4:17Speaker 2: but you're now you're inside a car, which is significantly
- 4:21Speaker 2: safer than the motorcycle being inside the car for a
- 4:25Speaker 2: number of different r and you can make the case
- 4:27Speaker 2: glass and you know you can still fly through the
- 4:29Speaker 2: glass and all those things. But my point is, if
- 4:32Speaker 2: you've ever seen like a serious motorcycle accident, you know
- 4:38Speaker 2: there's a difference between motorcycles and cars when it comes
- 4:44Speaker 2: to safety. So you're saying, well, you got to be
- 4:46Speaker 2: in a seat belt in a car, But in some
- 4:49Speaker 2: states you're allowed to lie down on a motorcycle when
- 4:53Speaker 2: you drive it. You don't even have to have your
- 4:54Speaker 2: legs on either side of it. You can lie flat
- 4:56Speaker 2: on it, hold the handlebars and just go. And in
- 5:01Speaker 2: those same places you can do that and get in
- 5:04Speaker 2: a car and then you have to wear a seat belt,
- 5:05Speaker 2: So I don't understand. And in some places they don't
- 5:08Speaker 2: even make you wear a helmet.
- 5:09Speaker 3: When you're riding a motorcycle. So there's that, all right.
- 5:14Speaker 2: With that said, and That's just an example as to
- 5:17Speaker 2: where I'm going with all of this, because the thing,
- 5:20Speaker 2: one of the things that's been growing more and more
- 5:24Speaker 2: in conversation is this thing about shopping carts. And they
- 5:29Speaker 2: say that, and let me be clear on this. My
- 5:32Speaker 2: first job was working at a grocery store. One of
- 5:36Speaker 2: my responsibilities was to go out into the parking lot,
- 5:39Speaker 2: gather up all.
- 5:40Speaker 3: The shopping carts and bring them in.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Used to be a lot different, Like now you're not
- 5:45Speaker 2: bringing in quarter of a million carts with a robot
- 5:48Speaker 2: and you know, a whole bunch of bungee cords, and
- 5:52Speaker 2: it's not wasn't that We had to go out there,
- 5:55Speaker 2: you know, a couple times an hour and grab as
- 5:58Speaker 2: many as you could get and push them in, you know,
- 6:00Speaker 2: with your actual physical strength, and get them back in
- 6:03Speaker 2: the store. And in the summer, it was ridiculously hot
- 6:09Speaker 2: doing that, right, ridiculously hot. So I'm all for people
- 6:16Speaker 2: putting the shopping carts back in those little cart binds.
- 6:19Speaker 2: I'm all for, you know, if you can take it
- 6:22Speaker 2: back in the store, speaking from experience. Typically for me,
- 6:29Speaker 2: my thinking about this is always if Now some stores
- 6:37Speaker 2: seem to intentionally have the cartolders not even close to
- 6:40Speaker 2: where you need them to be. So most of the time, yes,
- 6:44Speaker 2: they're going in the cartholder. If I'm in a place
- 6:46Speaker 2: where there's just not one, I don't know why because
- 6:49Speaker 2: some stores, you know, there were some stores, one chain
- 6:51Speaker 2: in particular, used to not even have those because they
- 6:54Speaker 2: always wanted an employee taking them out for you. But
- 6:57Speaker 2: you make sure they're secured somewhere. If you can't put
- 7:00Speaker 2: them in or you're just in a hurry, you put
- 7:02Speaker 2: them somewhere that they're secured.
- 7:04Speaker 3: And they're not going to roll around a lot.
- 7:06Speaker 2: That's the third is if I'm able and I'm parked
- 7:10Speaker 2: anywhere close to the building, I just take it back inside. Okay,
- 7:14Speaker 2: that's coming from the person who used to have to
- 7:16Speaker 2: go out and get them. I know it's a pain.
- 7:20Speaker 2: And I say this because there's there's been this sentiment
- 7:23Speaker 2: that's been growing for a while now basically saying you're
- 7:28Speaker 2: a psychopath if you don't put them back in the
- 7:30Speaker 2: cart hoolder, you're incredibly insensitive and not thoughtful and a
- 7:37Speaker 2: number of things. And it's got that's been going on
- 7:40Speaker 2: for a while, and they say that, you know, if
- 7:43Speaker 2: you're not considerate enough to do that the people in
- 7:46Speaker 2: your life should be concerned. That starts to get a
- 7:51Speaker 2: little bit heavy for me there. That seems to be
- 7:53Speaker 2: going a little far with it. And now there's a
- 7:57Speaker 2: growing number of people who they will actually and I
- 8:00Speaker 2: don't know any I can't speak to this happening anywhere locally,
- 8:03Speaker 2: for where we do a show in Columbus, but I've
- 8:06Speaker 2: seen some of these posts online where people actually go
- 8:09Speaker 2: up and harass people in the parking lot because they
- 8:14Speaker 2: didn't put the cart where they wanted them to put
- 8:16Speaker 2: the cart, and they're harassing them in the lot, and
- 8:20Speaker 2: they come from this place of but I'm right, you
- 8:24Speaker 2: should have done it, so I should have the right
- 8:26Speaker 2: to get in here and give you a hard time
- 8:28Speaker 2: about it. And that's a big part of how we
- 8:31Speaker 2: do politics in this country for some reason. Another example
- 8:36Speaker 2: of this that's come up here lately, and I just
- 8:39Speaker 2: saw this this week and I thought, well, this is
- 8:41Speaker 2: worth talking about. And this has come up on social media,
- 8:46Speaker 2: and I guess it's specifically TikTok. I used to not
- 8:52Speaker 2: even say TikTok by the way. I just I didn't
- 8:55Speaker 2: like it. I don't have anything to do with it.
- 8:57Speaker 2: I don't have the app. My experience with TikTok was
- 9:03Speaker 2: just because sometimes I had to because I needed to
- 9:06Speaker 2: get on and see a specific thing whatever. Because now
- 9:09Speaker 2: we've got politicians if that's what they use. And I
- 9:12Speaker 2: thought it was done. I thought we had settled the debate.
- 9:15Speaker 2: It was not good. If you have it, you got
- 9:18Speaker 2: people spying on where you are on your device and
- 9:21Speaker 2: all those things. So for me, it's like a layered
- 9:25Speaker 2: it's a whole layered thing. It's all like I use
- 9:29Speaker 2: a VPN. I use it on a computer. I'm not
- 9:33Speaker 2: on an app, Like that's what I try to do.
- 9:36Speaker 2: I don't want anything, So let's confuse them if I
- 9:39Speaker 2: can VPN into like as close to China as possible,
- 9:43Speaker 2: let's confuse.
- 9:44Speaker 3: These people anyway.
- 9:45Speaker 2: But I rarely go on it. But this is a
- 9:47Speaker 2: growing thing on TikTok. And I guess the reason that
- 9:51Speaker 2: we stopped all that is because Trump used it in
- 9:53Speaker 2: won and then he's like, yeah, TikTok's are right. It's
- 9:58Speaker 2: one of the most Trump things ever. So here we go.
- 10:01Speaker 2: People are now saying, and this is a growing thing
- 10:04Speaker 2: on social media. What toppings you put on your pizza
- 10:10Speaker 2: is a reflection of what kind of a good citizen
- 10:12Speaker 2: you are. And it's not just pizza, it's just they're
- 10:17Speaker 2: basically saying in general, like if you're eating meat and
- 10:21Speaker 2: you're refusing to give up the amount.
- 10:23Speaker 3: Of meat that you eat.
- 10:25Speaker 2: You're sending a red flag when it comes to the environment. Basically,
- 10:32Speaker 2: it's like if you're eating meat, especially on your pizza,
- 10:37Speaker 2: and you refuse to go with more vegetarian pizza, it
- 10:43Speaker 2: basically it signals your lack of ability to cut back
- 10:46Speaker 2: on meat, and it shows your lack of empathy for
- 10:48Speaker 2: climate issues, animal welfare, and your personal health. And there's
- 10:55Speaker 2: also this thought that if you're obsessed with high protein,
- 10:58Speaker 2: meat loaded meal that makes you here it goes you're
- 11:05Speaker 2: into the toxic masculinity. Some agree with this thought that's
- 11:12Speaker 2: being spread around, Some disagree. But again, this should be
- 11:17Speaker 2: as simple as this is what I want to eat,
- 11:19Speaker 2: this is what you want to eat. I know there's
- 11:22Speaker 2: been changing sentiments about food. I can tell you right now,
- 11:29Speaker 2: I'm not eating a vegetarian pizza unless I just have to.
- 11:32Speaker 3: It's the reality.
- 11:33Speaker 2: And I don't know is this person saying that if
- 11:36Speaker 2: we're using cheese from cows, is that also I don't know.
- 11:40Speaker 2: I don't know how far this goes. But my point
- 11:45Speaker 2: is it's just another layer of these things that we're
- 11:48Speaker 2: dealing with when it comes to our interactions with each
- 11:52Speaker 2: other in the real world. It's the I can't come
- 11:57Speaker 2: to your house for Thanksgiving because.
- 12:00Speaker 3: Of who you voted for.
- 12:02Speaker 2: It's I can't be your friend anymore because of who
- 12:07Speaker 2: you voted for. I've lost friends I have and I've
- 12:13Speaker 2: shared this before. My first experience with this started at
- 12:16Speaker 2: in O four and I learned very quickly that that
- 12:19Speaker 2: wasn't really a friend at all. I mean, if I
- 12:22Speaker 2: could just be discarded over not committing to vote for
- 12:26Speaker 2: John Kerry for someone randomly in Georgia. And it's not
- 12:32Speaker 2: like there was a chance John Kerry was gonna win George.
- 12:36Speaker 2: There was no chance, none whatsoever that he was gonna
- 12:42Speaker 2: win Georgia. But the point is, this is what we
- 12:46Speaker 2: do now, We just discard people. And I say, we
- 12:49Speaker 2: are not all of us. This is what some people
- 12:51Speaker 2: are doing. This is what about half of the country
- 12:55Speaker 2: at least seems to think is going on with half
- 12:58Speaker 2: the country. And it's not half. It's no more like
- 13:02Speaker 2: it's not fair for us to look at politics and
- 13:05Speaker 2: go about half the country likes this, and half the
- 13:07Speaker 2: country likes this. Reality here is we've got the two
- 13:11Speaker 2: extremes on both sides.
- 13:12Speaker 3: We just do.
- 13:13Speaker 2: And these are the people on the extreme on one side.
- 13:16Speaker 2: But the fact that you can't be a moderate Democrat
- 13:19Speaker 2: anymore without being criticized. You're not allowed to break from
- 13:24Speaker 2: these rules. If you're eating meat on your pizza, you're bad.
- 13:28Speaker 2: You don't care about the environment. If you're not putting
- 13:30Speaker 2: the shopping cart back in the rag, then you're a psychopath.
- 13:34Speaker 2: And if you're not wearing a mask when we tell
- 13:37Speaker 2: you to wear a mask, even though you know a
- 13:42Speaker 2: lot of evidence that those masks out in public, especially
- 13:44Speaker 2: the clothmins, weren't doing anything at all. You could argue, hey,
- 13:49Speaker 2: you're sick and you have to be out somewhere, and
- 13:51Speaker 2: you should wear a mask to keep other people from
- 13:53Speaker 2: getting sick. That makes more sense to me, unless you're
- 13:56Speaker 2: going to wear the actual medical grade stuff. That makes
- 13:59Speaker 2: more sense to me. But we do that, and we've
- 14:01Speaker 2: been doing that over on the right. It's the people
- 14:04Speaker 2: who go, I don't want to be around those, but
- 14:06Speaker 2: they're still wearing masks. How can you still wear a
- 14:09Speaker 2: mask who cares. The right's position on everything is supposed
- 14:14Speaker 2: to be who cares? Are they hurting someone else? No?
- 14:19Speaker 3: Then who cares? That should be the.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Rights attitude on all of it. Yes, that should be
- 14:26Speaker 2: your attitude on almost everything. Is it hurting you no?
- 14:30Speaker 2: Is it hurting someone else? No? Is it hurting someone
- 14:33Speaker 2: who can't protect themselves?
- 14:35Speaker 3: No? Then who cares?
- 14:38Speaker 2: If it falls into one of those other three things?
- 14:40Speaker 2: And yes, go make us think about it, absolutely, go
- 14:44Speaker 2: make us think about it. But if it's not hurting
- 14:47Speaker 2: you or anyone else, who cares? Is it really that important?
- 14:51Speaker 2: Is it hurting an animal? Yes? All right, make us
- 14:53Speaker 2: think about it, make us think about it. But this
- 14:59Speaker 2: idea that we have now where we're just all gonna
- 15:02Speaker 2: we're gonna cut people out.
- 15:03Speaker 3: We're gonna call.
- 15:04Speaker 2: Them crazy, we're gonna call them, you know, toxic masculinity.
- 15:09Speaker 2: We're gonna say that they're an oppressor just because of
- 15:12Speaker 2: the color of their skin. And a lot of the
- 15:13Speaker 2: people who say that, by the way, it's their skin color.
- 15:17Speaker 2: That's what's so crazy. It's a lot of white people going, yeah,
- 15:20Speaker 2: the white people are constantly oppressing people, and we have
- 15:23Speaker 2: to apologize and we shouldn't be doing that.
- 15:28Speaker 3: You can't just cut people out.
- 15:29Speaker 2: And the sad part about it is it would be
- 15:33Speaker 2: nice if the medicine for this were to cut those
- 15:37Speaker 2: people out of our lives. But that's not a good example.
- 15:41Speaker 2: That's not what we do. We don't cut people out.
- 15:45Speaker 2: You can cut stupid people out.
- 15:47Speaker 3: You can do that.
- 15:48Speaker 2: You're allowed to cut stupid people out of your life.
- 15:51Speaker 2: In fact, coming up after the break, we'll talk a
- 15:55Speaker 2: little bit about the people that get on your nerves
- 15:58Speaker 2: in your life and how it could be shortening your life,
- 16:00Speaker 2: literally shortening your life, not just wasting time.
- 16:03Speaker 3: But we'll get to that.
- 16:07Speaker 2: So if the pizza you eat, and the shopping carts
- 16:10Speaker 2: and the masks and all of these things, how much
- 16:13Speaker 2: you weigh, how much you exercise, how much you don't exercise.
- 16:16Speaker 2: Is an electric car? Is it not an electric car?
- 16:18Speaker 2: Is it a hybrid?
- 16:20Speaker 3: Who you do?
- 16:21Speaker 2: Especially who did you vote for? And I just would
- 16:24Speaker 2: like to remind the people who think Trump is a
- 16:26Speaker 2: Nazi and that Trump is Hitler and I just the
- 16:30Speaker 2: other day I was listening to one of the stations
- 16:35Speaker 2: on Sirius XM that was playing alternative rock music and
- 16:39Speaker 2: the song Holiday by Green Day came on. I like
- 16:43Speaker 2: the song just for the musical components of it, the
- 16:46Speaker 2: message of the song. It was very much at the time,
- 16:51Speaker 2: anti war, anti Bush, anti you know, America influence overseas. Look,
- 17:01Speaker 2: we all can look back on all of that now,
- 17:03Speaker 2: like there's a lot of things to look back on
- 17:05Speaker 2: in the rear view. But when that song came out,
- 17:09Speaker 2: it was a full on attack on George W. Bush,
- 17:13Speaker 2: attack on America. And there is a lyric in it
- 17:16Speaker 2: zigheile to the president gas man talking about Bush. They've
- 17:21Speaker 2: been calling presidents Republicans hitler for a while.
- 17:26Speaker 3: This isn't new.
- 17:29Speaker 2: That goes back, and that goes back to your you know,
- 17:32Speaker 2: two thousand and four, a guy that doesn't want to
- 17:35Speaker 2: be my friend anymore.
- 17:38Speaker 3: It's not new.
- 17:39Speaker 2: And the next person will be Hitler too, and the
- 17:41Speaker 2: one after that and the one after that, and that's
- 17:43Speaker 2: never going to stop. So if you're looking for a
- 17:45Speaker 2: reason to cut people out of your life on the left,
- 17:49Speaker 2: that's always going to be a reason. Because all Republicans,
- 17:52Speaker 2: you're going to be told, are Hitler. They're all going
- 17:56Speaker 2: to be fascists, they're all going to be Nazis. That's
- 17:59Speaker 2: what you're going to hear every single time. Today's show
- 18:02Speaker 2: brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space
- 18:06Speaker 2: Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM
- 18:12Speaker 2: leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages.
- 18:17Speaker 2: I mean they do it for school age kids as
- 18:20Speaker 2: school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center,
- 18:22Speaker 2: but they also do it through their university programs where
- 18:25Speaker 2: you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in
- 18:31Speaker 2: space and STEM fields are booming right now, and you
- 18:35Speaker 2: can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their
- 18:39Speaker 2: website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out
- 18:45Speaker 2: some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration
- 18:50Speaker 2: that they do with the Schwobe School of Music from
- 18:52Speaker 2: Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike
- 18:56Speaker 2: any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's
- 19:00Speaker 2: one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
- 19:03Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
- 19:06Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here

- 19:19Speaker 2: Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check
- 19:23Speaker 2: out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you

- 19:29Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
- 19:33Speaker 2: city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you
- 19:35Speaker 2: can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events also
- 19:39Speaker 2: on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan says,
- 19:43Speaker 2: Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you
- 19:48Speaker 2: that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC
- 19:53Speaker 2: dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door
- 19:56Speaker 2: Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
- 19:59Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
- 20:05Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
- 20:09Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
- 20:12Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
- 20:15Speaker 2: square in that away for you, and while they're there
- 20:18Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
- 20:20Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door,
- 20:24Speaker 2: maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 20:27Speaker 2: to be, and you need some repair work done to
- 20:29Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 20:32Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 20:36Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
- 20:39Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes
- 20:43Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 20:46Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 20:49Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 20:51Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 20:55Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 20:58Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, Maybe you
- 21:00Speaker 2: just want a little man caved. You'd like to be
- 21:02Speaker 2: able to open the door up and not invite all
- 21:04Speaker 2: the insects in. They can do that for you as well,
- 21:07Speaker 2: and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse
- 21:11Speaker 2: than that thought of having your car trapped inside your
- 21:13Speaker 2: garage and your garage door won't open and you need
- 21:16Speaker 2: somebody to come help, And they do those as well.

- 21:26Speaker 2: dot com More West Carol Morning Show right after the
- 21:29Speaker 2: break Well, it seems that the people in your life
- 21:41Speaker 2: that are causing the most irritation, the most drama, the
- 21:45Speaker 2: most stress, might actually be speeding up your aging process. Now,
- 21:53Speaker 2: there have been some people in my life that I
- 21:55Speaker 2: have felt like they certainly make me feel older, but
- 21:59Speaker 2: there might actually be some science behind this. So a
- 22:04Speaker 2: new study found that the difficult people in your life,
- 22:09Speaker 2: the nitpickers, the things that seem to just be trying
- 22:12Speaker 2: to make everything harder, could be speeding up the aging process.
- 22:17Speaker 2: Researchers call these people hasslers, and each additional one in
- 22:21Speaker 2: your orbit is linked to about one point five percent
- 22:25Speaker 2: faster rates of aging, which roughly works out to about
- 22:29Speaker 2: nine months older in biological age. Scientists say that these
- 22:33Speaker 2: stressful relationships ramp up inflammation and mess with your immune system,
- 22:39Speaker 2: and that that adds up over time. You know, I
- 22:45Speaker 2: can say that there have been people that you just
- 22:48Speaker 2: they really make you feel like all this is happening,
- 22:51Speaker 2: But to actually hear that there may be some science
- 22:53Speaker 2: behind it, it's.
- 22:55Speaker 3: Good to know.
- 22:57Speaker 2: It's good to know, especially considering I feel like more
- 23:02Speaker 2: and more people fall into this category, not necessarily people
- 23:05Speaker 2: in my close group, but I have people that do
- 23:09Speaker 2: just bring the extra hassle and stress, and you just
- 23:13Speaker 2: feel like, man, it's not worth it. It feels like a
- 23:15Speaker 2: waste of time to begin with. Maybe that's the way
- 23:18Speaker 2: you double down on it. You're wasting your time and
- 23:22Speaker 2: then you're aging faster. So that really is like a
- 23:24Speaker 2: double AMMI, isn't it. It looks like some people treat
- 23:28Speaker 2: stuff in hotel rooms as freebies to take home.
- 23:32Speaker 3: Yeah. According to a.
- 23:34Speaker 2: Survey more than twelve hundred hotel staff and owners, towels
- 23:39Speaker 2: are the top thing people stuff into their suitcases. Yeah,
- 23:41Speaker 2: that's not a freebe to me. Shampoo, soap, sometimes, that
- 23:47Speaker 2: extra roll, the toilet paper. You know, I've been known
- 23:51Speaker 2: to go, hey, I'm gonna use it later. You know
- 23:54Speaker 2: it was here for me to use. I'm gonna I'm
- 23:56Speaker 2: gonna use it later. About eighty eight percent of people
- 24:00Speaker 2: who responded say that towels go missing constantly. Bathrobe second
- 24:04Speaker 2: place at sixty six percent, and that they can cost
- 24:08Speaker 2: hotels about fifty dollars each. Surprisingly hangers, Yeah, coat hangers
- 24:15Speaker 2: snag a third place spot at fifty five percent. Rounding
- 24:18Speaker 2: Out the top five most stolen items are toiletries. Are
- 24:22Speaker 2: they stolen though they're there for you to use? Is
- 24:28Speaker 2: it specify somewhere in a contract when you're allowed to
- 24:31Speaker 2: use it? Followed by blankets, even the big bulky ones.
- 24:36Speaker 2: They say some hotels, you know, it could be one
- 24:38Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars a pop on average, and they
- 24:41Speaker 2: say it costs hotels about one hundred million dollars a year.
- 24:45Speaker 2: And I don't like the fact that they call it
- 24:46Speaker 2: pilfering in this either. All right, so here's the deal. Towels,
- 24:52Speaker 2: if you're taking them home, that's disgusting. If you're taking
- 24:55Speaker 2: a blanket home that someone has possibly sat on sands clothing,
- 25:00Speaker 2: that's nasty.
- 25:04Speaker 1: You know.
- 25:05Speaker 2: The coat hangers that could be And now I know
- 25:07Speaker 2: some people just go, wow, this is a nice coat hanger,
- 25:09Speaker 2: and they do. Some hotels have those really nice wooden
- 25:12Speaker 2: ones with all the clips, and they're nice coat hangers.
- 25:16Speaker 2: And maybe sometimes people take them because they go, wow,
- 25:18Speaker 2: these are just nice.
- 25:19Speaker 3: I want them.
- 25:20Speaker 2: But I think sometimes people and I'm trying to get
- 25:22Speaker 2: people benefit of the doubt. I don't think I've ever
- 25:24Speaker 2: taken a coat hanger, even by accident, but I think
- 25:27Speaker 2: maybe you come in and you got, you know, like
- 25:29Speaker 2: a suit or a nice dress, and you hang it
- 25:32Speaker 2: on there, and then you're trying to leave and pack
- 25:34Speaker 2: it up and you don't want to crumple it up,
- 25:36Speaker 2: and then maybe.
- 25:37Speaker 3: You just take them.
- 25:38Speaker 2: And I know that doesn't make it okay, but I
- 25:42Speaker 2: think there could be some possible or not even realizing it,
- 25:46Speaker 2: I don't know, but I still maintain. I still maintain toiletries,
- 25:52Speaker 2: you know, unless you're going out to the cart and
- 25:55Speaker 2: just grabbing all of the shampoo and the soap. But
- 25:59Speaker 2: if you take home the extra roll of toilet paper
- 26:02Speaker 2: and a couple of things of the shampoo that you
- 26:04Speaker 2: didn't finish, you opened it, they're not going to let
- 26:06Speaker 2: somebody else use it. It's not stealing it. It's just
- 26:10Speaker 2: not wasting it. Right, I'll die on that hill. That's
- 26:14Speaker 2: not pilfering. That's just being very aware, right, And it's
- 26:19Speaker 2: being socially conscious.
- 26:21Speaker 3: That's what it is, all right.
- 26:23Speaker 2: People in Idaho may have come up with a new
- 26:27Speaker 2: way to get out of jury duty by volunteering as
- 26:29Speaker 2: a poll worker instead. The state has faced a shortage
- 26:32Speaker 2: of election workers, especially for primaries and lesser elections, so
- 26:38Speaker 2: a law is working its way through the state legislature
- 26:40Speaker 2: that would let you do that instead of have jury duty.
- 26:43Speaker 2: It would only happen if a county clerk determines that
- 26:46Speaker 2: they're earn't enough poll workers. So it's not like you
- 26:49Speaker 2: could just bail out any old time, but if you
- 26:52Speaker 2: are able to do it, it would get you out
- 26:55Speaker 2: of jury.
- 26:56Speaker 3: Duty for the next two years.
- 26:59Speaker 2: It's funny for some reason. In certain states like Georgia,
- 27:03Speaker 2: there's always Pennsylvania, there's always plenty of these poll workers.
- 27:08Speaker 2: They all just seem ready to go, itching and ready
- 27:10Speaker 2: to go and I think many of them would wear
- 27:14Speaker 2: the t shirt of who they're voting for while they're
- 27:16Speaker 2: there working. I think if they had the opportunity, they're
- 27:20Speaker 2: not allowed to. I've had some snide remarks thrown at
- 27:24Speaker 2: me while I was going in to vote, and I
- 27:25Speaker 2: was like, I don't appreciate that, but you know, you
- 27:28Speaker 2: don't want to make a scene on election day. There's
- 27:31Speaker 2: enough of that going around.
- 27:32Speaker 3: That'll do it.

- 27:35Speaker 2: sponsors and patrons. Thanks for listening. I will catch you
