Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the Wes Carroll Morning Show.
0:11
Speaker 2: Monday morning, 21st day of September.
0:15
Speaker 3: I'm Wes. Thanks for joining me. That was a weekend
0:21
Speaker 3: of weather here in the Chattahoochee Valley area. And it
0:26
Speaker 3: was more than just, it was kind of, Well, there's
0:30
Speaker 3: a large swath of us throughout the southeast that had
0:33
Speaker 3: a huge impact on it. When you had football games
0:36
Speaker 3: being delayed and pretty significant storms that took place, at
0:42
Speaker 3: least here in the Chattachew Valley and a few other places.
0:45
Speaker 3: But we had a very significant cell that just kind
0:50
Speaker 3: of dropped right, really covering a wide area. But right
0:55
Speaker 3: in my neighborhood, we had a lightning strike of a
0:57
Speaker 3: tree in my backyard.
0:58
Speaker 2: I got video of that. That was fun.
1:02
Speaker 3: And some trees and things down all in various parts
1:07
Speaker 3: around the city. Quite a few in the area where
1:12
Speaker 3: I live.
1:13
Speaker 2: A lot of streets blocked. Lots of potential, I guess,
1:19
Speaker 2: for more of that.
1:20
Speaker 3: You know, I always try to say this whenever I
1:24
Speaker 3: have covered any sort of weather event in the past.
1:28
Speaker 3: that you have to remember when there is heavy winds
1:33
Speaker 3: like that and a significant amount of rain all at
1:36
Speaker 3: one time, that there's always the potential for trees and things.
1:41
Speaker 2: To topple after the fact.
1:45
Speaker 3: And that is the kind of thing that often will
1:48
Speaker 3: happen if the root system gets very saturated and then
1:52
Speaker 3: there's some winds that come after it. It's a little
1:55
Speaker 3: different in this situation, but there's still always that potential
1:58
Speaker 3: for some of that. You don't really know what's already
2:01
Speaker 3: been damaged as far as branches and things. They could
2:04
Speaker 3: still be coming down. Our neighborhood, like I said, hit
2:07
Speaker 3: pretty hard. Jill and I walked at Columbus State yesterday morning.
2:12
Speaker 3: We got up and just kind of walked around on
2:14
Speaker 3: campus in different places, took the dog for a walk.
2:17
Speaker 3: A lot of stuff down on the ground. They had
2:19
Speaker 3: crews working already first thing yesterday morning. We tried to
2:22
Speaker 3: get a Sunday walk in. Prior to church, we were
2:26
Speaker 3: able to do that, but crews working hard all around.
2:31
Speaker 3: And there's two sides to this. One, it's obviously we
2:37
Speaker 3: should be thankful to these crews out doing the work.
2:40
Speaker 3: And when I say the ones that are doing the work,
2:43
Speaker 3: like for the city, clearing the roads and things, that's
2:47
Speaker 3: one side of this. The other side of this, of course,
2:50
Speaker 3: are the small business owners. out doing their work. And
2:54
Speaker 3: I'm not just, they're doing a service as well. This
2:58
Speaker 3: is probably like Black Friday for them. They are probably
3:01
Speaker 3: happy to get to work, probably trying to find as
3:05
Speaker 3: many people as possible to get out there and work.
3:07
Speaker 2: One of the crews that.
3:08
Speaker 3: We've seen working that we know the owner of this
3:12
Speaker 3: particular tree company had his son out there working. So
3:16
Speaker 3: I know they were looking to get any and everybody
3:18
Speaker 3: out there doing doing the work to get the trees
3:22
Speaker 3: cleared and all of the debris and things, where everything
3:27
Speaker 3: is safe, because that's the other part of this. Power outages,
3:30
Speaker 3: there may still be some people with power outages this morning.
3:32
Speaker 3: I knew people that had power outages yesterday, late in
3:35
Speaker 3: the day, and I've been getting the text messages from
3:40
Speaker 3: Georgia Power, giving us updates on our area, not specifically Georgia.
3:46
Speaker 3: where I am, although we did have a couple of
3:48
Speaker 3: times where we lost power in the midst of all
3:51
Speaker 3: of that. So, yeah, just a wild weather event that
3:56
Speaker 3: took place for us on Saturday. I have a, I
4:01
Speaker 3: don't even know if there's a term for it. There
4:03
Speaker 3: probably is. There's a term for everything, but I have
4:05
Speaker 3: a high sensitivity to electricity. I don't know a better
4:10
Speaker 3: way to describe it, but when there is lightning nearby,
4:14
Speaker 3: I feel it. And at a molecular level. I don't
4:20
Speaker 3: know how else to describe it. There was a movie
4:23
Speaker 3: that kind of had something like this in it a
4:25
Speaker 3: long time ago. I watched that movie and thought, huh, okay, that's, yes,
4:32
Speaker 3: I'm familiar with that. And then the movie, after some time,
4:36
Speaker 3: maybe it was around the same time it came out
4:38
Speaker 3: or shortly thereafter, this was a time when everybody didn't
4:41
Speaker 3: know every detail about everyone's past, that the person who
4:46
Speaker 3: made the movie had some very notoriously bad behaviors in
4:56
Speaker 3: his past, and the movie was shunned by some of
5:00
Speaker 3: the victims, some of the underage victims. I don't want
5:04
Speaker 3: to say the name of the movie. If you know
5:05
Speaker 3: the one I'm talking about, and it popped in your
5:08
Speaker 3: head when I mentioned the lightning thing, and what I
5:12
Speaker 3: have is not exactly that. but I do feel it
5:17
Speaker 3: when it's close. And this was a crazy thing Saturday
5:20
Speaker 3: because the storms, I knew they were close because I
5:25
Speaker 3: could feel how close they were. And Luke, who is
5:28
Speaker 3: the budding future meteorologist in our house, was telling us
5:34
Speaker 3: how close they were. And I said, I know, I
5:39
Speaker 3: know how close they are. And then Like I said,
5:41
Speaker 3: we've got video of the instant flash bang that happened
5:47
Speaker 3: simultaneously that hit a tree in our yard.
5:51
Speaker 2: Just, I felt every bit of all of that.
5:54
Speaker 3: And my molecules were vibrating for a while after all
5:58
Speaker 3: that took place.
6:00
Speaker 2: Intense.
6:02
Speaker 3: Thankful that we didn't have any real severe damage here.
6:07
Speaker 3: My neighbor and I were discussing how close we were
6:11
Speaker 3: to having some significant damage to trees and things that had, uh,
6:15
Speaker 3: some things that came down, but, uh, very blessed that
6:18
Speaker 3: it wasn't worse than what it was. So, uh, just quickly,
6:22
Speaker 3: and I'm not going to do a whole lot on
6:24
Speaker 3: this topic because, um, uh, this is just one of
6:28
Speaker 3: those things. Um, obviously it's a big news story from, uh,
6:32
Speaker 3: from yesterday, uh, an ice involved shooting that took place
6:36
Speaker 3: in Austin, Texas, uh, No surprise for me that we
6:41
Speaker 3: have something like this that has happened. I told you
6:44
Speaker 3: several months ago when we started getting down the stretch
6:48
Speaker 3: before the midterms, we were going to see more of this.
6:50
Speaker 3: I actually thought it would probably have happened a little
6:52
Speaker 3: bit sooner.
6:54
Speaker 2: But here we go. Some situation.
6:56
Speaker 3: And I want to be honest, this morning, yesterday, it
7:01
Speaker 3: was not a lot of information coming in other than
7:04
Speaker 3: that there were angry people in Austin, Texas. and politicians
7:07
Speaker 3: jumping straight into it. I'm not a conspiracy guy, but
7:12
Speaker 3: when something like this happens and politicians that are involved
7:17
Speaker 3: in close races immediately have a statement ready to go,
7:21
Speaker 3: it just seems weird.
7:22
Speaker 2: Like, how do they get it ready that fast?
7:24
Speaker 3: Do they just kind of have these generic statements ready
7:27
Speaker 3: to go so that they can come out and talk
7:29
Speaker 3: about it? And the fact that it was in Austin,
7:32
Speaker 3: of course, in Texas... So don't be surprised if we
7:37
Speaker 3: don't get a little more of this or that this
7:39
Speaker 3: doesn't get way more oxygen over the next six weeks
7:44
Speaker 3: or so. It's just sad that this is where we are.
7:49
Speaker 3: We can't have something happen, take time to find out
7:52
Speaker 3: the details and understand exactly what happened and give our
7:58
Speaker 3: law enforcement at every level the benefit of the doubt.
8:02
Speaker 3: and jump to cases where, you know, someone ran at
8:05
Speaker 3: or drove at a, an ice agent and then be
8:08
Speaker 3: confused at why, uh, something went bad in those situations
8:11
Speaker 3: in the past. Um, anyway, it's a, uh, it's a,
8:18
Speaker 3: they're always bad situations. You hate when anyone gets shot.
8:21
Speaker 3: You hate when anyone is involved in something like that.
8:24
Speaker 3: I feel for those ice agents as well. So, Don't
8:27
Speaker 3: be shocked if we don't get more of these over
8:29
Speaker 3: the next weeks.
8:30
Speaker 2: It's just kind of the way things go.
8:32
Speaker 3: Then we'll enter that little period after the midterms where
8:37
Speaker 3: we'll be out of season again. And I'm surprised there
8:40
Speaker 3: hasn't been more of it this year, to be completely honest.
8:42
Speaker 3: But I think that there's a lot of strategists that
8:45
Speaker 3: feel that the midterms are hinging a lot on Iran
8:50
Speaker 3: and gas prices.
8:51
Speaker 2: And all these things.
8:52
Speaker 3: And that very well may be the case. I do
8:54
Speaker 3: think there is a lot to be said about the
8:56
Speaker 3: communist candidates that have done everything, but use the word
9:01
Speaker 3: if they win, brace yourself because it's coming. And I
9:05
Speaker 3: told you soon, we'll start having these candidates that are
9:07
Speaker 3: going to be ready to raise the hammer and sickle
9:10
Speaker 3: at their first available opportunity. Some have kind of talked
9:14
Speaker 3: about it, not really the candidates, but some of their
9:16
Speaker 3: close allies and friends. Uh, I want to quickly talk about, uh,
9:20
Speaker 3: Sydney Sweeney. I didn't get to this last week, but this, uh,
9:24
Speaker 3: ad that she did where, um, Uh, it's got people
9:27
Speaker 3: worked up and, uh, Sydney Sweeney, the actress, uh, she
9:32
Speaker 3: is an attractive lady, you know, she's, she's what the
9:37
Speaker 3: traditional male would probably say easy on the eyes, you know,
9:44
Speaker 3: and I'm trying to be as diplomatic about this as possible,
9:48
Speaker 3: you know? She's the kind of gal that Lenny and
9:51
Speaker 3: Squiggy from Laverne and Shirley would bite their palm if
9:54
Speaker 3: they saw her. You remember that was one of those
9:56
Speaker 3: old bits they would do? Jack Tripper, I think, on
9:59
Speaker 3: Three's Company.
10:00
Speaker 2: Would do it as well.
10:01
Speaker 3: So just know that this is what we're talking about.
10:04
Speaker 3: We're talking about an attractive lady, right? What would be
10:08
Speaker 3: conventionally viewed as an attractive lady? Were she not a
10:13
Speaker 3: very successful and very talented actress... who has made a
10:18
Speaker 3: couple of movies where they started Oscar buzz and things,
10:24
Speaker 3: she could have easily just gone into, I'm going to
10:26
Speaker 3: be a supermodel. Not just a regular model, but we're
10:30
Speaker 3: talking about somebody who had the qualifications to be a supermodel.
10:38
Speaker 3: She's one of those kind of ladies. She's been in
10:43
Speaker 3: and out of controversy. She kind of got outed as
10:45
Speaker 3: a conservative. I've seen people say she was outed as
10:48
Speaker 3: a Republican and a Trump supporter. Just certainly a non-typical
10:55
Speaker 3: Hollywood person, right? And also very attractive by most standards.
11:01
Speaker 3: I'm not saying she's attractive. I'm just saying that that's
11:03
Speaker 3: what a lot of people say about. No, I'm saying
11:06
Speaker 3: she's attractive. How could anybody not think she's attractive? I've
11:11
Speaker 3: got one friend. And he also would not vote the
11:16
Speaker 3: way that she does. But he wanted me once to
11:18
Speaker 3: know that he didn't think she was attractive. And I thought,
11:20
Speaker 3: that sounds par for the course. Anyway, it's like the
11:24
Speaker 3: people going like, you know, Bruce Springsteen isn't a good songwriter.
11:28
Speaker 2: He's a good songwriter. I just don't want to listen
11:30
Speaker 2: to his music.
11:31
Speaker 3: I don't have to say, ah, his music stinks. I
11:35
Speaker 3: don't have to do that, you know. Now, Macklemore, that's different.
11:39
Speaker 3: But anyway, that one song was catchy. Back to Sydney Sweeney.
11:43
Speaker 3: She's made some ads. She made one where she was
11:46
Speaker 3: wearing her blue jeans and she said something about, you know,
11:49
Speaker 3: you got to have good jeans. And people said, oh,
11:53
Speaker 3: this is racist. This is a Nazi ad because she's
11:56
Speaker 3: got blonde hair and blue eyes and they're talking about genetics.
12:00
Speaker 3: And you can't do that. God forbid you make a
12:03
Speaker 3: genetics pun when you're trying to sell some blue jeans.
12:07
Speaker 2: But you know what?
12:07
Speaker 3: They sold a bunch of jeans. And it got her
12:11
Speaker 3: plenty more work as a model for ads, including this
12:16
Speaker 3: latest job for, what's the company called? This is a
12:21
Speaker 3: Novig is the name of the, it's a betting app.
12:26
Speaker 3: I like that they call it a sports prediction market app.
12:31
Speaker 2: Novig. I'm not a gambler, right? I'm just not. I don't,
12:36
Speaker 2: it's not.
12:38
Speaker 3: I have been to one casino and that was on
12:41
Speaker 3: my 21st birthday. And I went to a casino when
12:45
Speaker 3: I was in Australia and I said, this is how
12:48
Speaker 3: much money I'm going to bet. I don't remember how
12:49
Speaker 3: much it was. It was probably like 50 bucks or something.
12:53
Speaker 3: And I went and I did like, and I thought
12:55
Speaker 3: I'm going to spend 50 bucks just to do this.
12:58
Speaker 3: And I know that I'm going to lose because, you know,
13:00
Speaker 3: that's what you're there for. Casinos don't invite you in.
13:06
Speaker 3: because everybody goes home a winner. You're there to lose. Um,
13:12
Speaker 3: it's just the reality. And then, uh, and that's about it.
13:16
Speaker 3: You know, occasionally I might buy a lottery ticket when it's,
13:20
Speaker 3: you know, some crazy amount of money. And I just
13:22
Speaker 3: kind of go, well, this is, you're buying the right
13:24
Speaker 3: to imagine what if, you know, that's all you're doing.
13:28
Speaker 3: And if you have that attitude about it, you're not
13:31
Speaker 3: going to be addicted. And the fact that they have
13:33
Speaker 3: to run these ads and they have these, uh, disclosures
13:37
Speaker 3: in it that say, you know, if you have a
13:39
Speaker 3: gambling problem, call this number. Anyway, I'm not a gambler.
13:44
Speaker 3: I don't particularly like all the sports betting. I feel
13:47
Speaker 3: like it's having an impact.
13:49
Speaker 2: On games and a lot of things in the games.
13:51
Speaker 3: I think it has an effect on officiating. I think
13:53
Speaker 3: it has effect on how players play. When you see
13:56
Speaker 3: something happen, like what happened in the Vanderbilt game over
13:58
Speaker 3: the weekend, it's hard not to go, hang on, They
14:02
Speaker 3: had the game one. All the quarterback had to do
14:04
Speaker 3: was step out of the back of the end zone
14:06
Speaker 3: or take a knee in the end zone, take the safety,
14:10
Speaker 3: and the game's over. They win, and instead he runs
14:12
Speaker 3: around and fumbles the ball, and Vanderbilt recovers it and wins.
14:16
Speaker 2: Something just seems weird.
14:18
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that I'm not a conspiracy guy.
14:25
Speaker 3: I'm not a conspiracy guy. Just something seems weird.
14:28
Speaker 2: I don't like gambling in sports. But I do like
14:30
Speaker 2: this ad.
14:33
Speaker 3: I do like this campaign they've put together, which features
14:38
Speaker 3: Sidney Sweeney in the nip, as they say. That may
14:45
Speaker 3: not be the right word. That's a word they say overseas.
14:48
Speaker 3: It just means naked.
14:53
Speaker 2: I borrow that line from a TV show I like
14:55
Speaker 2: called Father Ted.
14:56
Speaker 3: She's nude. She's Starkers, as they would say in Australia.
15:01
Speaker 3: She doesn't have any clothes on, and she's standing there.
15:04
Speaker 3: One ad in particular, I guess one of the billboards
15:06
Speaker 3: that was featured in New York, and it's her with
15:09
Speaker 3: no clothes on, and she's just holding like a football,
15:13
Speaker 3: covering herself up.
15:15
Speaker 2: Just one football. And the ad for this Novig, the campaign,
15:20
Speaker 2: is it's just sports. It's a great ad. It's a
15:24
Speaker 2: great ad for a few reasons. But it's a great
15:26
Speaker 2: ad in that it's just saying, hey, it's all it is.
15:28
Speaker 2: It's just sports. That's all we do.
15:30
Speaker 3: They're a sports prediction. They're not predicting all the other things.
15:34
Speaker 3: This isn't what's the price of gas going to be.
15:36
Speaker 3: This isn't how long is the war going to go on.
15:39
Speaker 3: This isn't how many shootings are there going to be
15:41
Speaker 3: before the election. That's not what they're doing. What they're
15:43
Speaker 3: doing is just sports. And if you show this attractive
15:48
Speaker 3: lady just holding a football, covering up the important stuff,
15:54
Speaker 3: And they're saying that's it.
15:55
Speaker 2: That's all we are. It's just sports. And I don't know.
15:57
Speaker 2: There's other ads, I think. I think they got some
15:59
Speaker 2: other ones. I haven't seen.
16:01
Speaker 3: The other ads that she's got. But I'm sure it's
16:05
Speaker 3: like her holding a baseball bat. A couple of soccer balls.
16:11
Speaker 3: Two hockey pucks.
16:12
Speaker 2: I don't know.
16:13
Speaker 3: I don't know what else the ads are. I can
16:15
Speaker 3: imagine the ads. But I haven't seen all the ads.
16:19
Speaker 3: I just know that this one ad with her holding
16:21
Speaker 3: a football, you know, she looks ready to play.
16:25
Speaker 2: She looks ready, and it's just sports. It's got people
16:28
Speaker 2: worked up, though.
16:30
Speaker 3: You got athletes that are really angry. You're sexualizing the athletes.
16:36
Speaker 3: I'm just thinking about the number of athletes in the
16:38
Speaker 3: past that have done the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue where
16:43
Speaker 3: they get on, and they're barely wearing any clothes, and
16:46
Speaker 3: they're doing the same thing. I think did Serena Williams
16:50
Speaker 3: do some ads where she was doing the same kind
16:52
Speaker 3: of thing? I know there've been some that have just
16:55
Speaker 3: gone completely nude. Like they've done Playboy. They've done like
17:00
Speaker 3: a calendar. I've seen where they say, oh, the so-and-so
17:05
Speaker 3: pole vault team from so-and-so country is selling a nude
17:09
Speaker 3: calendar to raise money for their Olympic run or whatever.
17:13
Speaker 3: All those stories in the past. And there've been like
17:15
Speaker 3: at least a hundred of those in the past. I
17:18
Speaker 3: don't know what those were. Those didn't get this kind
17:20
Speaker 3: of media attention and I didn't go looking it up.
17:23
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you that this is not the first
17:26
Speaker 3: person who's done anything that involved nudity in sports. That's
17:30
Speaker 3: all I'm getting at. And why wouldn't a company come
17:34
Speaker 3: up with an.
17:35
Speaker 2: I mean, and the slogan is great.
17:37
Speaker 3: Just sports.
17:40
Speaker 2: Straight to the point. It's effective. And all the.
17:44
Speaker 3: Attention that this company's getting because people are freaking out
17:47
Speaker 3: about it.
17:47
Speaker 2: How dare you? This is the company's first.
17:52
Speaker 2: Ad campaign, and it's already a big win.
17:54
Speaker 3: And you think that, and they're already, you know, ready
17:56
Speaker 3: to line up Sidney Sweeney for as many ads like
18:00
Speaker 3: this in the future, whether it's jeans or sports betting or,
18:02
Speaker 3: I mean, how much for that football? Today's show brought
18:06
Speaker 3: to you by Columbus State University's Coca-Cola Space Science Center,
18:10
Speaker 3: inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and
18:16
Speaker 3: STEM career holders to that really of all ages. I mean,
18:20
Speaker 3: they do it for school-age kids as school-age kids visit
18:24
Speaker 3: the Coca-Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
18:27
Speaker 3: through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
18:33
Speaker 3: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming

Speaker 3: Music from Columbus State University called Music Under the Dome.
18:58
Speaker 3: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
19:03
Speaker 3: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
19:05
Speaker 3: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia?
19:09
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens

19:50
Speaker 3: I just remind you that it stands for Coca-Cola Space
19:54
Speaker 3: Science Center, CCSSC.org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
19:59
Speaker 3: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
20:02
Speaker 3: commercial or residential, maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
20:09
Speaker 3: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
20:12
Speaker 3: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
20:16
Speaker 3: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
20:19
Speaker 3: squaring that away for you. And while they're there, you
20:22
Speaker 3: can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
20:24
Speaker 3: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
20:27
Speaker 3: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
20:30
Speaker 3: to be and you need some repair work done to
20:33
Speaker 3: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
20:35
Speaker 3: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
20:39
Speaker 3: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
20:43
Speaker 3: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes
20:46
Speaker 3: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
20:50
Speaker 3: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
20:52
Speaker 3: door to your garage door system that you can put
20:55
Speaker 3: down and you can use your garage space as a
20:58
Speaker 3: sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like
21:01
Speaker 3: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
21:03
Speaker 3: you just want a little man cave that you'd like
21:06
Speaker 3: to be able to open the door up and not
21:07
Speaker 3: invite all the insects in.
21:09
Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
21:11
Speaker 2: they do.
21:12
Speaker 3: After hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of
21:15
Speaker 3: having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage
21:18
Speaker 3: door won't open and you need somebody to come help.
21:21
Speaker 3: And they do those as well.

21:23
Speaker 3: More West Carroll Morning Show right after the break. Well,
21:42
Speaker 3: don't you hate it when your favorite TV show takes just.
21:45
Speaker 2: Too long between seasons?
21:48
Speaker 3: They have these stretches where they're trying to put out
21:51
Speaker 3: another season of the show, in some cases like the
21:54
Speaker 3: final season of the show, and it just takes too long.
21:58
Speaker 3: And I'm going to give as an example of this,
22:01
Speaker 3: for me personally, I still haven't watched the final season
22:05
Speaker 3: of Stranger Things.
22:07
Speaker 2: It took way too long.
22:10
Speaker 3: I mean, it was like three and a half years
22:13
Speaker 3: before they brought back Stranger Things for the final season.
22:17
Speaker 3: And I haven't heard great things about the final season,
22:20
Speaker 3: so I just never got around to watching it. I
22:23
Speaker 3: was even told by a friend who is a diehard
22:26
Speaker 3: fan of the show, like, you probably want to just
22:30
Speaker 3: remember it for.
22:30
Speaker 2: What it was before that.
22:32
Speaker 3: I'll get around to it eventually, but it was not
22:35
Speaker 3: something that I felt like, man, I've got to watch this.
22:37
Speaker 3: People were excited when it started and then it just
22:40
Speaker 3: kind of fizzled out. But there's a new report that
22:43
Speaker 3: says streaming shows will often lose viewers when fans are
22:49
Speaker 3: forced to wait too long for new episodes. And they
22:54
Speaker 3: say basically if the gap stretches beyond 18 months, the
22:59
Speaker 3: audience numbers tend to drop. Uh, Wednesday on Netflix, uh,
23:05
Speaker 3: lost 59% of its audience, nearly a three and a
23:09
Speaker 3: half year break that they took 59% of the audience, uh,
23:14
Speaker 3: Lord of rings ring, Lord of the rings, rings of power, uh,
23:19
Speaker 3: 57% following a two year gap.
23:22
Speaker 2: Uh, God bless you.
23:23
Speaker 3: If you stuck around to the end of that, I
23:25
Speaker 3: got about two episodes in and went, this is not good. Uh,
23:30
Speaker 3: and then, uh, yeah, stranger things lost 23% of its
23:33
Speaker 3: viewers over that gap. Consider me part of that 23%. Uh, however,
23:38
Speaker 3: you got shows that are getting quick turnarounds and they're
23:42
Speaker 3: doing significantly better land man being one of those shows. Uh,
23:47
Speaker 3: the pit is also another show. Uh, and they got
23:51
Speaker 3: a new seasons of the show about a year later
23:54
Speaker 3: and viewerships grow when that happens. The Pit more than
23:59
Speaker 3: doubled their audience when it came back just a year
24:01
Speaker 3: after its first season. Landman saw the audience grow over
24:04
Speaker 3: 50% after just a year gap between its first two seasons.
24:08
Speaker 3: So basically, viewers may love a show, but after waiting
24:12
Speaker 3: two or three years for the next season.
24:14
Speaker 2: A.
24:15
Speaker 3: Lot just move on. They forget what happened. They find
24:18
Speaker 3: something else to watch. Why does it take three years?
24:22
Speaker 3: I know you've got some shows that require a lot
24:24
Speaker 3: of digital effects and things, and maybe that was the
24:27
Speaker 3: excuse for Stranger Things.
24:30
Speaker 2: And maybe even with Lord of the Rings.
24:32
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I just know once upon a
24:35
Speaker 3: time you had a season finale, you had like three
24:39
Speaker 3: months off, and then they were ready to go with
24:41
Speaker 3: a new season right after that. So I don't know
24:44
Speaker 3: why it takes so much longer now on these streaming shows.
24:47
Speaker 3: I know people are doing other jobs, I guess, and maybe.
24:50
Speaker 2: That's part of it.
24:53
Speaker 3: But anyway, can we talk a little bit about flights
24:58
Speaker 3: and squishies? If you got kids that are obsessed with
25:03
Speaker 3: these squishies, turns out some of the toys, including the
25:08
Speaker 3: Nido squishies, will get stopped at TSA checkpoints because they
25:12
Speaker 3: have a gel or liquid inside, and that could exceed
25:17
Speaker 3: liquid restrictions. The policy has caught plenty of families off guard.
25:22
Speaker 3: Some parents say their kids were left in tears when
25:25
Speaker 3: their favorite squishies were flagged at security, forcing them to
25:28
Speaker 3: either surrender the toy, check a bag, or even mail
25:31
Speaker 3: it home before they could board their flight. Problem is
25:36
Speaker 3: that many squishies don't clearly state how much gel is inside,
25:39
Speaker 3: making it hard to know whether they will pass TSA inspections.
25:44
Speaker 3: So if your kid can't bear the thought of losing
25:46
Speaker 3: their prize squishy, TSA says pack it in your checked luggage.
25:50
Speaker 3: So just a heads up on that. If you got
25:52
Speaker 3: any travel plans coming up and over the holidays with
25:56
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up, keep all of that in mind.
26:01
Speaker 3: The 2026 Toy Hall of Fame has announced their finalists.
26:06
Speaker 3: The National Toy Hall of Fame gave its list, and
26:11
Speaker 3: among the nominees, three of the following will be inducted
26:17
Speaker 3: in November.
26:19
Speaker 2: A couple of board games in here.
26:20
Speaker 3: We've got Sorry, Yahtzee, Mahjong, Bingo, Bop It, The Care Bears,
26:27
Speaker 3: Monster High.
26:30
Speaker 2: It's a little early for Monster High, doesn't it?
26:32
Speaker 3: Kind of a newish toy. Mousetrap, Pokemon, the trading card
26:38
Speaker 3: game version of it at least. Polly Pocket, Tickle Me Elmo,
26:42
Speaker 3: and the Slide. How's the Slide not already in the
26:47
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame? The old traditional slide down and burn
26:51
Speaker 3: your back and legs or whatever when you go down
26:53
Speaker 3: at the old metal one that was just roasting in
26:56
Speaker 3: the heat. Just baking in the heat and you slide
26:59
Speaker 3: down it and cook. Yeah, I don't know how you
27:02
Speaker 3: narrow that down to three. There's at least five in
27:05
Speaker 3: there to me that should be definitely in the Hall
27:08
Speaker 3: of Fame. A couple of them seem a little early
27:11
Speaker 3: compared to, like, how's the slide not already in there, right?
27:16
Speaker 3: That'll do it for this Monday edition of the show.
27:18
Speaker 3: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
27:21
Speaker 3: Catch you back here tomorrow morning.
