Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, thirtieth and final day of September. I'm Wes,
0:15
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining me. It's interesting, isn't it that we
0:22
Speaker 2: have this. There's a couple of things you feel like
0:27
Speaker 2: Democrats find a way to win no matter which side
0:30
Speaker 2: they're on of the area. One of them is the
0:33
Speaker 2: whole government shutdown thing. Just anytime there's this possibility of
0:37
Speaker 2: a government shut down, if they're the party that's in
0:41
Speaker 2: charge and Republicans stand in the way they go, can
0:43
Speaker 2: you believe those guys are going to shut down the
0:46
Speaker 2: government over some real basic things. But if they're not
0:50
Speaker 2: the party in power and they won't help support whatever
0:54
Speaker 2: the Republicans are trying to do? Can you believe those
0:57
Speaker 2: Republicans are gonna shut things down? They're in charge, it's
1:02
Speaker 2: their fault. Look at them, they're the ones in charge
1:05
Speaker 2: trying to shut things down. It's interesting, isn't it. It
1:09
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. The Republicans are going to win, and that's
1:11
Speaker 2: why it's important, by the way, that you have an actual,
1:15
Speaker 2: honest and sincere media with some credibility, because if you don't,
1:20
Speaker 2: then ultimately what you get is that you get one side.
1:23
Speaker 2: They can say whatever they want and the media just
1:27
Speaker 2: runs with it, and it always makes the other side
1:29
Speaker 2: sound bad, just the way it plays out when you
1:32
Speaker 2: don't have actual integrity, actual journalism, all of those things,
1:37
Speaker 2: and just any old schmo with a microphone gets to
1:40
Speaker 2: gets to claim that there's some sort of media just
1:43
Speaker 2: because they're sitting in their car. By the way, you
1:47
Speaker 2: ever see me record a video in my car, please
1:50
Speaker 2: just call me out on it. I don't understand. I
1:53
Speaker 2: guess there's some exceptions. I will say that before I
1:55
Speaker 2: go too far, the occasional exception. But if it's somebody
1:58
Speaker 2: who they're calling themselves a journalist or whatever, and everything
2:02
Speaker 2: they record is in their car, come on, let's keep
2:05
Speaker 2: it to maybe one in every hundred. That should be
2:08
Speaker 2: the rule. I'm just gonna make up arbitrary rules from
2:10
Speaker 2: now on. That's what I'm gonna do. I wanted to
2:14
Speaker 2: talk to you a little bit, by the way, just
2:16
Speaker 2: following up a little bit on the big story from
2:18
Speaker 2: over the weekend. As they're learning just a little bit
2:22
Speaker 2: more about what's going on, the details about what went
2:26
Speaker 2: on in Michigan with the LDS church that was shot up,
2:32
Speaker 2: and basically, as FBI still looking for answers, we're kind
2:36
Speaker 2: of getting a little bit of a picture about someone
2:39
Speaker 2: who hated the Mormon Church for whatever reason, marine veteran
2:43
Speaker 2: who potentially and again, I know this is a default
2:48
Speaker 2: thing that we go to, but when someone crosses this
2:52
Speaker 2: line and takes a number of any life, but a
2:54
Speaker 2: number of lives in this horrible fashion, then obviously there
2:59
Speaker 2: is some thing mentally there that we're not addressing, especially
3:03
Speaker 2: with some members of our military. But it's it's fascinating
3:10
Speaker 2: to me how quickly the questions were from the left
3:13
Speaker 2: were who does this guy vou for? They found a
3:17
Speaker 2: sign in his backyard that said something about Trump and vance,
3:20
Speaker 2: so that makes him a right wing extremist And no, apparently,
3:26
Speaker 2: and and we'll learn more, and I want this story
3:29
Speaker 2: to really develop and get to the bottom of it.
3:31
Speaker 2: But if this is someone who had some sort of
3:34
Speaker 2: a grudge against the Mormon Church for some reason, or
3:38
Speaker 2: didn't like the Mormon Church, whatever it is, whatever it is,
3:43
Speaker 2: decided it was time to attack a church, it's in
3:46
Speaker 2: you put it in that category, it's another church that's
3:49
Speaker 2: been attacked, period, doesn't matter what anybody else says about
3:56
Speaker 2: the specifics of the church of the denomination. We I guess,
4:01
Speaker 2: according to the White House that maybe this is someone
4:05
Speaker 2: who did not like this particular church for some reason
4:08
Speaker 2: or another and decided to go after it. That's never
4:10
Speaker 2: the answer. It's never okay. Everyone on the right, even
4:14
Speaker 2: if this guy was a Trump supporter, is not saying
4:18
Speaker 2: that it was okay. There is absolute and it's from
4:22
Speaker 2: the White House down. This is not okay. Violence is
4:26
Speaker 2: never okay. It's never acceptable. This is not okay. Something
4:31
Speaker 2: that we should be hearing anytime there is violence, period,
4:36
Speaker 2: doesn't matter which side they're coming from. But of course,
4:39
Speaker 2: digging into well he had something in his backyard that
4:42
Speaker 2: certainly suggested that maybe he was a supporter of Trump
4:47
Speaker 2: and vance in the last election. And maybe he was
4:51
Speaker 2: doesn't make him a right wing extremist. Two things can
4:55
Speaker 2: be true. Maybe he did vote for Donald Trump. Maybe
4:59
Speaker 2: someone else in his house voted for Donald Trump. Maybe
5:03
Speaker 2: someone threw a Trump sign in his backyard. There are
5:05
Speaker 2: a number of things that you could But maybe he
5:08
Speaker 2: did vote for Trump. I don't know. And if he did,
5:11
Speaker 2: and if the evidence says that that's definitely the case.
5:15
Speaker 2: He also could have been mentally unbalanced and decided to
5:20
Speaker 2: do something horrific and the two been unrelated. So it's
5:24
Speaker 2: not safe and it's not smart to immediately jump to
5:27
Speaker 2: conclusions when we find out that a shooter shot Charlie
5:32
Speaker 2: Kirk because they didn't like what he stood for and
5:34
Speaker 2: they thought he was a liar and a fascist or
5:36
Speaker 2: whatever it was, and that you know, he couldn't be
5:40
Speaker 2: forgiven for the things that he had said. That's different.
5:44
Speaker 2: There's a bit of a manifesto here when we start
5:47
Speaker 2: laying out things in a text exchange that may or
5:51
Speaker 2: may not have given us all the motive that they need.
5:55
Speaker 2: He was sort of in court yesterday, not in court,
5:57
Speaker 2: but that hearing officially got started. They've decided, I guess
6:01
Speaker 2: a date in October where they're going to pick things up.
6:04
Speaker 2: So just following up on a couple of those stories,
6:07
Speaker 2: all right, the thing I told you yesterday I would
6:09
Speaker 2: probably talk about today, and I guess we'll jump into
6:12
Speaker 2: this Kamala Harris book thing. She's done a book tour.
6:15
Speaker 2: Is it over already? If it's not, she probably should
6:19
Speaker 2: go ahead and end it because it's not going well.
6:23
Speaker 2: I don't know that this is someone that is going
6:28
Speaker 2: to have I don't know what the numbers are. I
6:29
Speaker 2: don't know how the book is selling. I don't know.
6:32
Speaker 2: I can't imagine anybody is really running out to buy
6:35
Speaker 2: this book. I've there have been people that I have
6:38
Speaker 2: said before that I wouldn't have supported in an election.
6:43
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have voted for them, but I could understand
6:48
Speaker 2: why people would want to read their book. I get
6:51
Speaker 2: that I wouldn't read Hillary Clinton's book or books whatever
6:55
Speaker 2: she's got, but I can understand why people would want to.
6:59
Speaker 2: I get that, I do. She's had a story. It's
7:05
Speaker 2: not all things that she probably would put in her book,
7:07
Speaker 2: but the Hillary Clinton story, the Bill Clinton story, their marriage, there,
7:14
Speaker 2: the accusers of her, all those are. It would be
7:17
Speaker 2: fascinating reading, and I get it. I understand why people
7:21
Speaker 2: might want to read that. It's not a book that
7:23
Speaker 2: would be on my bookshelf. Someone gave it to me,
7:28
Speaker 2: might thumb through it a little bit, don't edit to
7:30
Speaker 2: my local library. I don't know, not really a book
7:33
Speaker 2: burner in that category. There's nothing. I mean, if I
7:35
Speaker 2: thumbed through it and there's graphic descriptions of a sexual activity,
7:41
Speaker 2: you know, with like teenage kids or whatever. No, then
7:44
Speaker 2: I you know, maybe then the book should be taken
7:48
Speaker 2: out of it, put out of its misery. I guess not
7:52
Speaker 2: that I'm into the book burning. I just don't think
7:54
Speaker 2: that's appropriate content. But anyway, that's another story altogether. It
7:57
Speaker 2: probably still wouldn't burn it, but definite wouldn't do it
8:00
Speaker 2: to the library. I don't know what I would do
8:01
Speaker 2: with it. Probably reference it on the show. I could
8:05
Speaker 2: reference that if that was in her book, but I
8:07
Speaker 2: don't think that would be in her book. I don't
8:08
Speaker 2: think they dipped into all that stuff. My point is,
8:12
Speaker 2: I can understand why someone would say, oh, here's the
8:16
Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton book, let's read it. I can understand why
8:19
Speaker 2: someone would want to read, you know, the John McCain book.
8:27
Speaker 2: I get it. What a life John McCain lived. Not
8:31
Speaker 2: my ideal candidate for president by any means whatsoever. I
8:35
Speaker 2: did get put in a position once or I had
8:37
Speaker 2: to vote for him, thanks a lot Republicans, but you know,
8:42
Speaker 2: not really a candidate I would go, man, I just
8:44
Speaker 2: can't wait to dig into his book. Going to be
8:48
Speaker 2: honest with you, not a lot of them I've read
8:50
Speaker 2: excerpts from a number of books of political candidates on
8:53
Speaker 2: both sides. Not really the you know, got to curl
8:58
Speaker 2: up with a book at bedtime kind of reading. For me.
9:02
Speaker 2: Much more likely to checked out and read James Madison biography.
9:08
Speaker 2: That's interesting to me spoiler alert, I already let you
9:13
Speaker 2: know who my favorite president was. That's interesting to me.
9:16
Speaker 2: The John Adams book. Those are great. That's more interesting
9:20
Speaker 2: to me than you know, a lot of the other
9:23
Speaker 2: books about political candidates. But I can't imagine why anybody
9:26
Speaker 2: wants to read the Kamala Harris book. Nobody voted for
9:30
Speaker 2: her to be the candidate. She just slipped in there.
9:33
Speaker 2: She had this amazing opportunity presented to her. She got
9:37
Speaker 2: to bypass all the lines. What a shocker that she
9:41
Speaker 2: was the borders are and wanted to be president and
9:44
Speaker 2: served as vice president under an administration that just let
9:49
Speaker 2: everybody skip the line and come into the country and
9:52
Speaker 2: push right past everybody else who maybe would have some
9:55
Speaker 2: sort of say in who got to be in the
9:58
Speaker 2: country or not, maybe who should get an opportunity to
10:01
Speaker 2: come in first. Bypassed all of that as a candidate
10:05
Speaker 2: and just jumped right up to the front and said, yeah,
10:08
Speaker 2: we'll pick you. I've told you why. I feel like
10:11
Speaker 2: they picked her. I think they wanted her to be
10:14
Speaker 2: as inept as Biden was. They were looking for someone
10:17
Speaker 2: who would let them use an autopen probably went to her.
10:21
Speaker 2: They probably walked in. This was probably the meeting. We're
10:25
Speaker 2: trying to decide who the candidate's going to be a
10:27
Speaker 2: madame vice president. How do you feel about us having
10:31
Speaker 2: an auto pen with your signature set up on it
10:33
Speaker 2: and we can use it anytime we want to. You're
10:35
Speaker 2: okay with that art You're going to be the candidate.
10:37
Speaker 2: That's what I feel like. I think it was probably
10:40
Speaker 2: just that simple, and if she had not answered that
10:43
Speaker 2: question correctly, maybe she would have gotten brushed aside. But
10:47
Speaker 2: that's not what happened. She got to be the candidate
10:50
Speaker 2: and had failed miserably in her primaries against Biden. I
10:55
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know what the book is. I
10:59
Speaker 2: don't think she knows what's in it. Based on the interviews.
11:04
Speaker 2: I think the people that have been interviewing her, whether
11:07
Speaker 2: it's Michael Strahan or you know, hosts from CNN or
11:11
Speaker 2: MSNBC or whatever that's called now, they're not Rachel Maddow,
11:16
Speaker 2: I think did an interview with her. Rachel Maddow asked
11:18
Speaker 2: her point blank Pete Pete Boudha judge and asked why
11:23
Speaker 2: he wasn't picked to be vice president, and Harris admitted
11:25
Speaker 2: that probably should have been the pick. She just didn't
11:28
Speaker 2: think America was ready for him as a vice presidential candidate,
11:32
Speaker 2: which seemed to really put off the you know, lesbian
11:39
Speaker 2: Rachel Maddow, who then pressed her on it a little bit.
11:43
Speaker 2: First time she had been pressed on a question. It's
11:47
Speaker 2: not like she got pressed on a lot of questions
11:49
Speaker 2: while she was running. No, it was just kind of
11:51
Speaker 2: really easy softballs. But she actually got pressed on that,
11:55
Speaker 2: and it ultimately came back that well, I just didn't
11:59
Speaker 2: think people were in America were ready for a black
12:01
Speaker 2: woman and then a gay man as the ticket. And
12:06
Speaker 2: she tried to clarify it a little bit more. It
12:08
Speaker 2: never really made sense. Nothing Kamala Harris said as a
12:10
Speaker 2: candidate ever really made sense. I do wonder whether she
12:14
Speaker 2: even knows the stuff was in the book now. Just
12:17
Speaker 2: to be fair, it's not a shock that a political
12:22
Speaker 2: candidate might not have written their book. That's kind of
12:26
Speaker 2: the way things go. It's not typical for someone to
12:29
Speaker 2: sit down and you know, start, you know, they're not
12:33
Speaker 2: sitting at a typewriter teing like that's not really how
12:37
Speaker 2: you write a book. Typically when you are a former
12:41
Speaker 2: candidate for something like that, or you were a former
12:44
Speaker 2: held a position, maybe you're a former governor or whatever
12:46
Speaker 2: it is, that's not really the way the book process
12:49
Speaker 2: typically works. You sit down with somebody who's qualified to
12:52
Speaker 2: write the book on your behalf, You tell them stories,
12:55
Speaker 2: they ask you questions, you spend some time doing it.
13:00
Speaker 2: What that torture must have been, like you think the
13:02
Speaker 2: person who wrote the book for her, if if they did,
13:05
Speaker 2: and I'm just guessing, all right, I'm not pointing fingers.
13:09
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you that someone most likely did, because
13:12
Speaker 2: that's what most people did. But but can you imagine
13:15
Speaker 2: if that is the way it played out, what torture
13:18
Speaker 2: it must have been trying to get her to answer
13:21
Speaker 2: questions because she was probably still very much in campaign mode.
13:26
Speaker 2: I'm just guessing. So it was probably a lot of like,
13:29
Speaker 2: you know, so talk to us about this process of
13:32
Speaker 2: picking Tim Walls to be a running mate. Well, I
13:35
Speaker 2: was born and raised in a middle aged family You've
13:38
Speaker 2: said that to literally every question. Can can we just
13:42
Speaker 2: focus on that why I was raised it and I
13:44
Speaker 2: worked at McDonald's and I was in a middle aged
13:49
Speaker 2: figure and I, uh, that's my guess. Talking about earning
13:54
Speaker 2: your money had to be had to be earning that
13:58
Speaker 2: money that is, uh man had to be rough. So
14:06
Speaker 2: she probably babbled through her life story. How much of
14:10
Speaker 2: it was that, I mean, we know Hillary Clinton has
14:12
Speaker 2: done that with some things. She said she was named
14:13
Speaker 2: after Edmund Hillary and he didn't actually climb Mount Everest
14:17
Speaker 2: until you know, she was like six, but that she
14:20
Speaker 2: says she was named after him or nine, I don't know.
14:24
Speaker 2: She was definitely had been on the earth. She was
14:27
Speaker 2: in school. She was in elementary school by the time
14:31
Speaker 2: he did that. So, you know, politicians have certainly been
14:35
Speaker 2: known to make up stories, and Hillary had the story
14:37
Speaker 2: about her ducking bullets or whatever it was and Afghanistan
14:41
Speaker 2: or politicians have been known to exaggerate things. But it's
14:46
Speaker 2: kind of different when everything about the story seemed to
14:50
Speaker 2: have been made up from the very beginning, and there
14:52
Speaker 2: were people who just bought it. They bought everything that
14:55
Speaker 2: she said. They just went, you know what, She's the candidate.
14:58
Speaker 2: We're going to accept all of it. And it's not
15:00
Speaker 2: to say that Republicans don't do similar things. Both sides
15:07
Speaker 2: are guilty of this practice. I'm just pointing out the
15:10
Speaker 2: fact that this is someone who has had this wild
15:16
Speaker 2: run as vice president, this wild run. Her whole political
15:20
Speaker 2: career in California was wild, and she was someone they
15:25
Speaker 2: certainly were kind of grooming for the possibility of a
15:28
Speaker 2: run someday it didn't work out. She got handed this
15:32
Speaker 2: vice presidential gig, and then she got handed this nomination
15:36
Speaker 2: that typically you know, for all of our democracies in
15:42
Speaker 2: danger that we heard about Republicans, they literally took it
15:45
Speaker 2: out of the hands of voters and just made the
15:48
Speaker 2: decision themselves behind closed doors, and then send her out.
15:53
Speaker 2: She's written the book, and then she goes out on
15:55
Speaker 2: this book tour and doesn't seem to know anything that's
15:58
Speaker 2: in the book. She didn't even I mean, at least
16:01
Speaker 2: she could read it. I mean, someone at least read
16:05
Speaker 2: it for Strahan or Matt Owen gave them some questions.
16:08
Speaker 2: Maybe they both read it. I don't know. I mean,
16:10
Speaker 2: if you're going to do an interview and it's a
16:12
Speaker 2: book involved, that's what you should do. You should do
16:16
Speaker 2: your prep. I've done a couple of interviews in my day.
16:19
Speaker 2: I do prep. You get ready for your interviews, so
16:25
Speaker 2: and sometimes you don't get much time to prep. So
16:27
Speaker 2: maybe they didn't get a chance to read the whole thing.
16:29
Speaker 2: I don't know, but they asked her some pretty important
16:31
Speaker 2: questions from the book, and she didn't seem to remember
16:34
Speaker 2: the fact that that was in the book, or she
16:36
Speaker 2: just looked confused. But then again, she's looked confused since
16:40
Speaker 2: she was in the Senate, probably before that, before we
16:43
Speaker 2: really knew who she was. That's just my guess. Anyway,
16:45
Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca
16:48

Speaker 2: Science Center, but they also do it through their university
17:08
Speaker 2: programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the
17:13
Speaker 2: careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now,
17:18
Speaker 2: and you can learn more about maybe getting your degree
17:22
Speaker 2: on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there. Also

Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
18:50
Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
18:55
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
18:58
Speaker 2: care of square and that away for and while they're there,
19:01
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
19:03
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
19:07
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
19:10
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
19:12
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:15
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
19:19
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
19:22
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes
19:26
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
19:29
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
19:32
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
19:35
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
19:38
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
19:41
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
19:43
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid. You'd like to
19:45
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
19:47
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
19:50
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
19:53
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
19:56
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
19:59
Speaker 2: you need somebody to help, and they do those as well.

20:10
Speaker 2: com More West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break
20:21
Speaker 2: well with AI on the rise in a world that's
20:24
Speaker 2: becoming increasingly artificial, what do we need to do to
20:30
Speaker 2: learn how to be more human? Well? The University of
20:33
Speaker 2: California at San Diego is offering a new kind of
20:36
Speaker 2: college course, one that teaches its students how to be human.
20:43
Speaker 2: This is like the most college thing ever, isn't it.
20:47
Speaker 2: The Learning Sustainable Well Being the LSW program, created by
20:52
Speaker 2: psychologist Karen Dobkins, focuses on emotional resilience, mindfulness, compassion, and
20:58
Speaker 2: healthy communication. The idea is to treat mental wealth being
21:03
Speaker 2: as just as essential. As math or writings. I don't
21:07
Speaker 2: have an issue with that, I just am very curious
21:09
Speaker 2: about what healthy communication constitute says. The courses are popping
21:13
Speaker 2: up across departments, from biology to music, and they're designed
21:17
Speaker 2: to help students manage stress, connect with others, and better
21:21
Speaker 2: understand themselves. It's also about giving students real life tools
21:25
Speaker 2: to thrive, not just academically, but emotionally and socially too. Again,
21:31
Speaker 2: maybe better understanding themselves as good. How about maybe helping
21:35
Speaker 2: them better understand each other, just saying it would be
21:41
Speaker 2: nice if we can learn to communicate with each other
21:44
Speaker 2: a little better and understand each other just a little
21:47
Speaker 2: bit better. A new Gallup poll shows only thirty five
21:51
Speaker 2: percent now say college is very important, and that's down
21:53
Speaker 2: from seventy five percent back in twenty ten. Forty percent
21:57
Speaker 2: saying that they think college is fairly important, while twenty
22:00
Speaker 2: four percent say not too important. Rising tuition cause student debt,
22:05
Speaker 2: concerns about what's actually being taught all turn offs for
22:09
Speaker 2: some people, apparently, and that's the reason for the shift.
22:12
Speaker 2: And with AI reshaping the job market, some experts say
22:15
Speaker 2: colleges need to pivot fast towards teaching skills that machines
22:19
Speaker 2: can't replicate like empathy and creativity. Hey, maybe that's the
22:23
Speaker 2: reason for the LSW program. Still, college pays despite the skepticism.
22:28
Speaker 2: Data shows college grads earn about seventy five percent more
22:31
Speaker 2: than those who just have a high school diploma. So
22:36
Speaker 2: keep that in mind if you're in this don't need
22:39
Speaker 2: to go to college thing, Just keep that in mind.
22:42
Speaker 2: Some Diet Coke fans rejoicing after the brand announced it
22:46
Speaker 2: is bringing back an old favorite. Diet Coke Lime will
22:48
Speaker 2: return to store shelves nationwide on October sixth, but for
22:53
Speaker 2: a limited time. Fans fell in love with a flavor
22:56
Speaker 2: when it was introduced in two thousand and four and
22:59
Speaker 2: have been longing for the comeback since it was discontinued
23:02
Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen. It was ultimately replaced with Diet Coke
23:07
Speaker 2: Ginger Lime. Earlier this year, Coke brought back the regular
23:11
Speaker 2: Coke Lime for a limited time. AI's everywhere, even in
23:16
Speaker 2: divorce court. There's a new trend where couples, especially younger ones,
23:20
Speaker 2: are turning to AI before calling divorce lawyers. Some use
23:24
Speaker 2: it to get advice, Others go a step further and
23:27
Speaker 2: have AI generate their divorce documents. It's definitely a budget
23:31
Speaker 2: friendly option, and that's just for the simple split ups
23:35
Speaker 2: with no property or kids. It can be a quick,
23:38
Speaker 2: clean break without the hefty legal fees. But when things
23:41
Speaker 2: get complicated emotional, or involve big assets and custody issues,
23:45
Speaker 2: AI can only go so far. It might help draft
23:49
Speaker 2: basic paperwork, but it can't guide someone through the legal
23:52
Speaker 2: maze or fully protect their rights in court. More and
23:57
Speaker 2: more young adults are turning to subtitles while watching TV
24:01
Speaker 2: and movies, and it's got nothing to do with hearing loss.
24:04
Speaker 2: A newpole shows nearly forty percent of adults under forty
24:07
Speaker 2: five use subtitles regularly, compared to just thirty percent of
24:11
Speaker 2: adults over forty five, and for those over sixty, they're
24:15
Speaker 2: most likely say they never use subtitles, so the deal Basically,
24:21
Speaker 2: gen Z and millennials, they say subtitles are a way
24:24
Speaker 2: to keep up while they're multitasking, and they're kind of
24:28
Speaker 2: half listening while also scrolling on their phones, cooking, cleaning,
24:32
Speaker 2: even listening to music, so subtitles help them keep up
24:35
Speaker 2: with what's going on. As one millennial explained, I'll be
24:38
Speaker 2: playing on the phone, loving on my animals, cleaning picking up,
24:43
Speaker 2: I guess, meaning cleaning, And they say they keep the
24:47
Speaker 2: subtitles on so they can switch back and forth and
24:51
Speaker 2: be able to listen to it or look back at
24:53
Speaker 2: the screen and know what is going on. I'm confused
24:57
Speaker 2: by this because the sub title thing, to me means
25:03
Speaker 2: it's harder to multitask because you tend to just kind
25:06
Speaker 2: of stare at it and you're not really going through
25:10
Speaker 2: all the different things that you need to do because
25:13
Speaker 2: you have to keep looking at it. Right, Does that
25:16
Speaker 2: make sense? I don't understand how you're I guess if
25:19
Speaker 2: you're just listening and you're trying to do I don't know.
25:21
Speaker 2: It's it's a challenge for me to read it now.
25:25
Speaker 2: If I'm really zeroed in on it, and maybe there
25:29
Speaker 2: are some distractions, or maybe you've got someone in a
25:32
Speaker 2: show or movie that kind of mumbles, I'll use them.
25:35
Speaker 2: But yeah, put me in that group that rarely almost
25:38
Speaker 2: never uses them, but occasionally, especially if they said something
25:41
Speaker 2: and I can't understand it and then I have to
25:42
Speaker 2: go back. But there's a setting on most of the
25:47
Speaker 2: platforms where you can just when you rewind it back,
25:49
Speaker 2: it automatically puts the subtitles on for you and then
25:52
Speaker 2: you have to shut them back off. But that definitely
25:55
Speaker 2: helps with that. All right, that'll do it for this
