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.
0:11
Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, first day of April. I'm wes, thanks for
0:16
Speaker 2: joining me. No April fools jokes here, not doing that,
0:21
Speaker 2: but it is April Fool's Day. If you're listening early
0:24
Speaker 2: enough in the day, heads up, you've been warned. I
0:27
Speaker 2: tried to warn you yesterday. People like to be wise guys.
0:30
Speaker 2: Today there'll be some left handed whopper jokes and all
0:33
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff going on. I had a story
0:36
Speaker 2: for you yesterday and it's about a breast milk ice cream.
0:39
Speaker 2: They swear it's real. This was yesterday. It wasn't an
0:42
Speaker 2: April Fool's story. And I told you then exactly what
0:47
Speaker 2: the way that the press release was set up that
0:51
Speaker 2: it was real. So again, if it ends up being phony,
0:55
Speaker 2: that wasn't intentional. I don't know. I was suspicious of it,
0:59
Speaker 2: but insisted that they're coming out in like nine months,
1:03
Speaker 2: so all seems sus It really does, but they swear
1:07
Speaker 2: that it was not. But I mean, I feel like
1:10
Speaker 2: if you can like have holidays that you know, begin
1:16
Speaker 2: three days earlier than they really are, and those sorts
1:18
Speaker 2: of things. I mean, it seems a bit much to
1:20
Speaker 2: stretch April Fool's Day. If it's one day of whimsy
1:23
Speaker 2: and frivolity, why would you do it a day early
1:26
Speaker 2: if if you know, then people don't have their guards up.
1:29
Speaker 2: I guess, I mean, I don't know. I don't know
1:31
Speaker 2: how all this works. I'm just telling you that I
1:34
Speaker 2: told you the story yesterday in good faith. I'm not
1:37
Speaker 2: I wasn't trying to trying to hit you with anything
1:41
Speaker 2: sus at all. Let's yesterday I talked to you about religion,
1:45
Speaker 2: and I talked about sort of this sliding scale of
1:50
Speaker 2: morality that happens if you don't have a solid foundational point.
1:56
Speaker 2: If you don't have, I don't know, a book, the
2:01
Speaker 2: best selling book of all time kind of as a
2:03
Speaker 2: as a reference point, as a guidebook for what you're
2:07
Speaker 2: going to use for your you know, guide to life.
2:12
Speaker 2: If you don't have you know, a higher power that
2:17
Speaker 2: you believe in. I would argue that it should be,
2:19
Speaker 2: you know, the one true God. But some people certainly
2:24
Speaker 2: live reasonably moral lives with their some live very moral lives.
2:31
Speaker 2: There's good people of all types of faith. There are
2:35
Speaker 2: good people who are atheists. I would just argue that
2:41
Speaker 2: it should be a lot harder to live a truly
2:47
Speaker 2: solid moral life if you don't have a true creed,
2:53
Speaker 2: a true reason that you're living that moral life. Doesn't
3:00
Speaker 2: mean that there aren't Christians who do very bad things,
3:02
Speaker 2: sometimes in some cases not true Christians. In some cases,
3:08
Speaker 2: you know people that stray. That happens. It's awful. You
3:13
Speaker 2: feel terrible when it happens, when it happens to you,
3:18
Speaker 2: when it happens to someone that you care about, when
3:20
Speaker 2: you see it happen, and you think this guy is
3:24
Speaker 2: professing to be one thing and certainly not really portraying
3:30
Speaker 2: that in what we see in a very public life
3:34
Speaker 2: or something. But who am I to judge? Not me.
3:39
Speaker 2: I just try to do what I think is the
3:42
Speaker 2: right thing, and part of my foundation of that is
3:45
Speaker 2: my fate. And I think if you don't have that,
3:48
Speaker 2: just following up on yesterday, if you don't have that,
3:51
Speaker 2: it certainly allows for you to have a very easily
3:57
Speaker 2: movable sliding scale when it comes to what you consider moral.
4:01
Speaker 2: And that's where we get to people that are, you know,
4:03
Speaker 2: protesting and blowing up Tesla dealerships and cars and in
4:09
Speaker 2: the name of the environment. It is a weird time.
4:13
Speaker 2: It really is a weird time to be alive. We've
4:15
Speaker 2: just gone through and it's still going on. But you know,
4:19
Speaker 2: we just went through an election where part of what
4:23
Speaker 2: was happening during the election is you had people that
4:27
Speaker 2: were protesting against Israel, against Jewish people, making Jewish people
4:35
Speaker 2: feel threatened, making Jewish people feel unwelcome on college campuses
4:40
Speaker 2: while they were trying to take finals, unwelcome during their graduations.
4:46
Speaker 2: This happened a year ago. If you remember, this was
4:50
Speaker 2: all still very fresh. The wound was very fresh considering
4:56
Speaker 2: the horrific, horrific events that took place in Israel, so
5:05
Speaker 2: and it was all still fresh, and it was happening
5:08
Speaker 2: here on us soil. We had people, you know, river
5:11
Speaker 2: to the sea, kill all the Jews. We still have it.
5:14
Speaker 2: It's still going on in places. It's sort of re emerged.
5:18
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's harder to get people out
5:20
Speaker 2: and do this sort of thing when it's cold weather.
5:23
Speaker 2: I don't know that anti Semitism is something that needs
5:27
Speaker 2: needs warmer weather to function. I don't know. But what
5:31
Speaker 2: we went through so much of that in a time
5:34
Speaker 2: when you would think that we would be still very
5:38
Speaker 2: much against it right as a country, as a people,
5:42
Speaker 2: especially all these folks on the left that we're screaming
5:46
Speaker 2: that Donald Trump and Elon Musk themselves were Nazis and
5:50
Speaker 2: we're hitler. Yet this contingency of their party, the youth
5:55
Speaker 2: that they were really scared to upset by saying, you know,
5:59
Speaker 2: we're going to deny ounce their hateful anti Semitism. They
6:05
Speaker 2: wouldn't do it because they didn't want to potentially, you know,
6:09
Speaker 2: cause them to not vote Democrat, to not vote for
6:12
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris. So we had that, and then now we've
6:15
Speaker 2: got the same people who used to say, hey, buy
6:18
Speaker 2: an electric car, buy a Tesla from this guy Elon Musk,
6:22
Speaker 2: who's figured out how to do electric cars, and you know,
6:27
Speaker 2: we have to do it. We're in desperate mode. The
6:31
Speaker 2: planet is about to just be uninhabitable by human beings
6:35
Speaker 2: and animals and we're just, you know, a decade away
6:39
Speaker 2: from not being able to function. We're just we're destroying it.
6:43
Speaker 2: It's all going to be wasteland. And now they're saying
6:48
Speaker 2: it's okay to burn these batteries that are first of
6:52
Speaker 2: all themselves and when it comes to production. Not overly
6:57
Speaker 2: great for the environment, but when you set one of
7:00
Speaker 2: on fire, it's really not good for the planet. But
7:03
Speaker 2: you know, when you get into desperation mode, when you
7:05
Speaker 2: get into we're all going to die. We got ten
7:11
Speaker 2: twelve years at the most. I think twelve is always
7:13
Speaker 2: the magic number. And then you feel comfortable enough in
7:18
Speaker 2: all of that to set these batteries on fire, which
7:21
Speaker 2: do a horrible, horrible damage to the environment. Right, but
7:27
Speaker 2: in the name of Elon Musk is a bad guy
7:29
Speaker 2: and Donald Trump is a bad guy, you seem comfortable with.
7:33
Speaker 2: Its weird. It's weird how easily all of it changes.
7:39
Speaker 2: I saw an interview yesterday with someone who was actually
7:43
Speaker 2: making the case that if Republicans did not want the
7:50
Speaker 2: damage to the Tesla dealerships and the Tesla owners and
7:55
Speaker 2: the cars, then maybe if Republicans didn't want that, and
8:00
Speaker 2: maybe Republicans should stop breaking the law themselves. It wasn't
8:03
Speaker 2: a case of we should stop people from breaking the law.
8:08
Speaker 2: It was they don't have a choice but to break
8:11
Speaker 2: the law because Republicans themselves, this president and this administration
8:16
Speaker 2: is breaking the law. Therefore people are forced to break
8:19
Speaker 2: the law back in order to bring about change, And
8:25
Speaker 2: the same person in the interview was also denouncing the
8:28
Speaker 2: word terrorism being used, so trying to scare people, trying
8:33
Speaker 2: to financially hurt people, trying to basically in the name
8:39
Speaker 2: of protest, because it's not really a protest when you're
8:43
Speaker 2: destroying things, and it's not simply vandalism. It is vandalism,
8:47
Speaker 2: but it's also terrorism when you're destroying things and you're
8:50
Speaker 2: setting and and you're destroying the environment according to your
8:53
Speaker 2: own religion. There. So it's just strange time to be alive.
9:02
Speaker 2: I mean, people are supposed to I guess these organized,
9:08
Speaker 2: very organized, very well funded protests to try to take
9:13
Speaker 2: Elon Musk down at the knees and make him suffer
9:19
Speaker 2: for trying to save American taxpayers money. And ultimately this
9:24
Speaker 2: is really all about income for like these income sources
9:31
Speaker 2: for politicians, these income sources for Democrat donors, they're getting
9:37
Speaker 2: hit and now all they can do to try to
9:40
Speaker 2: save it is go after the person who has caused
9:44
Speaker 2: it to go away. It's just a strange, strange time
9:50
Speaker 2: to be alive. And another thing I want to talk about,
9:56
Speaker 2: I guess Gavin Newsom, governor of California, who's trying to
10:00
Speaker 2: repurpose his image. He's trying to start building some sort
10:05
Speaker 2: of a justification for him to run for president. I
10:09
Speaker 2: guess in the next selection. He's got a little time
10:14
Speaker 2: to try to do that. He started a podcast and
10:19
Speaker 2: has had a few very awkward interviews with people who
10:23
Speaker 2: have made him look very foolish doing his podcast. He
10:26
Speaker 2: has very selective memory about things that he himself has
10:33
Speaker 2: said in the past, done in the past. And he's
10:38
Speaker 2: trying though to say that the Democrat Party is in
10:42
Speaker 2: a bad place, in a bad way. He was on
10:44
Speaker 2: I guess Bill Maher over the weekend, and he's trying
10:47
Speaker 2: to basically say that it's toxic and that they have
10:50
Speaker 2: to come up with a new strategy for all of it.
10:55
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with him that it's toxic, and I
10:57
Speaker 2: don't disagree with him that they need a new strategy.
11:00
Speaker 2: I do think that there's a few things that he
11:02
Speaker 2: seems to be missing out on. One, we all remember
11:06
Speaker 2: who you are. You can't go back and selectively say
11:11
Speaker 2: certain topics and aspects of things that you've said in
11:14
Speaker 2: the past that you never said. One of those things
11:19
Speaker 2: was he claimed that no one associated with any of
11:24
Speaker 2: his campaigns or administration use the term LATINX to try
11:30
Speaker 2: to take gender away from the Hispanic community. Those Latin languages,
11:36
Speaker 2: there's a masculine and feminine quality to the language there
11:42
Speaker 2: just is. It's the way that they speak. There's l
11:44
Speaker 2: in law right in Spanish. But in an attempt to
11:49
Speaker 2: get the Hispanic community more on board with the LGBTQ
11:55
Speaker 2: plus community, they basically said, well, we're going to get
11:59
Speaker 2: rid of the endings of these Latin words starting with
12:06
Speaker 2: latina or Latino and we're just gonna put an X
12:09
Speaker 2: on the end of it. And that way, it doesn't
12:11
Speaker 2: make someone who is masculine or feminine, it takes that
12:15
Speaker 2: away from it. He claimed that they never did it,
12:18
Speaker 2: and there's multiple recordings of him doing it. But that's
12:22
Speaker 2: the thing. He's trying to pull a fast one over
12:26
Speaker 2: on us, and it just makes him more phony. It
12:28
Speaker 2: just makes him more of a hypocrite. Now, is it
12:31
Speaker 2: gonna work? It might. He's like a Hillary Clinton type
12:36
Speaker 2: where this is one of his ambitions in life and
12:38
Speaker 2: this is what he's been working towards and he's not
12:40
Speaker 2: ready to give it up, even if it means telling
12:42
Speaker 2: repeated lies about positions and stances in the past, politicians
12:47
Speaker 2: do it. I'm not saying it's exclusive to him. I'm
12:51
Speaker 2: just saying that we should call him out on it
12:53
Speaker 2: the way we've called other politicians out on it in
12:55
Speaker 2: the past. If he really wants a new image, he
12:58
Speaker 2: should say, Look, I felt into this trap of Latin X.
13:03
Speaker 2: I said it. I shouldn't have said it. It's insensitive.
13:09
Speaker 2: It's especially insensitive for a white guy in the role
13:14
Speaker 2: of governor in a state that has a lot of
13:17
Speaker 2: Hispanic people in it, a lot of Latina and Latino
13:20
Speaker 2: people in it, and I think Latin became the And
13:24
Speaker 2: that's the weird funny part about it is I remember,
13:27
Speaker 2: I've got a very dear friend who was born in
13:31
Speaker 2: Mexico who and I'm talking about like twenty two twenty
13:38
Speaker 2: three years ago, used to tell me that they would
13:41
Speaker 2: just say Latin now and that saves you saying Latino
13:44
Speaker 2: or Latina. You just say Latin. But the X became
13:48
Speaker 2: that exclamation point if you will, to say no, no, no,
13:52
Speaker 2: We're being very intentional with taking the gender out of it.
13:56
Speaker 2: So they already had something. They had something twenty plus
14:00
Speaker 2: years ago, but it wasn't good enough because it didn't
14:04
Speaker 2: call attention to it. But anyway, he should take ownership
14:08
Speaker 2: of it. Look, I used to do this, I got
14:10
Speaker 2: caught up in it. I shouldn't have ever done it.
14:12
Speaker 2: It wasn't okay for me to do it. I apologize.
14:15
Speaker 2: I won't do it anymore. And that should be his
14:18
Speaker 2: stance on all of these issues, any of the and
14:21
Speaker 2: he should start letting, you know, water be where it
14:23
Speaker 2: needs to be in California so that when they have
14:26
Speaker 2: fires they have access to it. It shouldn't just go
14:28
Speaker 2: to you know, maybe if there's a person who has
14:31
Speaker 2: an almond farm and they want to orchard or whatever
14:36
Speaker 2: you call it. If you got if you're a donor
14:40
Speaker 2: and we're going to make sure that your avocados and
14:43
Speaker 2: almonds or whatever it is. If you want to make
14:45
Speaker 2: sure they've got plenty of water, but the fire department
14:48
Speaker 2: doesn't have the water. He own up to the mistakes.
14:52
Speaker 2: If you're going to be part of this new image
14:54
Speaker 2: and you think you're gonna be able to now our
14:56
Speaker 2: Democrat voter is going to let him slide if they
14:59
Speaker 2: think he could ad actually be the candidate at some point,
15:02
Speaker 2: probably they're gonna probably let him slide, But a true press,
15:08
Speaker 2: a true media, would certainly hold his feet to the flames.
15:12
Speaker 2: A true media would say, we're not gonna let him
15:14
Speaker 2: get away with this. We're going to actually ask him
15:17
Speaker 2: these important questions and say, hey, remember when you said
15:20
Speaker 2: you never said LATINX you did. Here's the clip, and
15:25
Speaker 2: actually call him out on it. But they're not they're
15:27
Speaker 2: not going to really hold him to it. The party
15:29
Speaker 2: is in disarray, the party is toxic, the party does
15:32
Speaker 2: have a lot of problems right now. Are we better
15:34
Speaker 2: off when we actually have a more centrist left and
15:38
Speaker 2: a more centrist right that are actually willing to work
15:42
Speaker 2: with each other, And that should be the next step.
15:45
Speaker 2: Democrats should be ready to work with Trump and Republicans.
15:50
Speaker 2: This is the time to do it. This is Trump's
15:53
Speaker 2: final term. This is the time that they should step
15:56
Speaker 2: in and say we're gonna work with this guy because
15:58
Speaker 2: we know he's on the way out and an opportunity
16:02
Speaker 2: to come in and actually show that you're a little
16:04
Speaker 2: bit more left of center rather than extreme far left.
16:07
Speaker 2: But we've already seen what they're doing to people like
16:09
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer, who just gives the impression that he's closer
16:13
Speaker 2: to center than extreme Left. One more thing on media,
16:17
Speaker 2: One more thing on this gender thing. We talked a
16:22
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago about there was a protest done
16:26
Speaker 2: in our hometown here in Columbus, Georgia, done at our
16:31
Speaker 2: Citizen Service Center, and the way that it was worded
16:35
Speaker 2: that a group of people were there for a protest
16:38
Speaker 2: or a rally or whatever it was at our Citizen
16:41
Speaker 2: Service Center. They didn't really give numbers, They were really
16:45
Speaker 2: vague about how many people were there. And anyway, they've
16:50
Speaker 2: done it again with another I guess on Friday this
16:54
Speaker 2: past weekend was some sort of significant day concerning trans
16:59
Speaker 2: awareness or something. I'm not really sure what it was.
17:02
Speaker 2: But I drove past just by chance. I'd had lunch
17:07
Speaker 2: nearby where the protest was, where the rally or whatever
17:11
Speaker 2: it is, and I saw the five people there. Five
17:14
Speaker 2: people five I counted one, two, three, four, five were
17:19
Speaker 2: there more before or after, I don't know, but I
17:21
Speaker 2: saw five with flags and they were just sort of
17:27
Speaker 2: standing there, milling around, talking to each other. The flags
17:30
Speaker 2: are even rolled up when I went past. But again
17:34
Speaker 2: this was reported by our local newspaper without giving numbers,
17:40
Speaker 2: not really giving a true accurate photo of the giant
17:44
Speaker 2: crowd of people there for the protest. And I'll go
17:48
Speaker 2: back to what I said a couple of weeks ago.
17:51
Speaker 2: I don't know that a protest or a rally quite
17:54
Speaker 2: deserves news coverage. If you can't crack ten people just
17:59
Speaker 2: my ops. Maybe if you can't crack ten, maybe a dozen,
18:03
Speaker 2: maybe even twenty. Maybe you need twenty twenty five people
18:06
Speaker 2: enough to actually show that this is an issue that's
18:09
Speaker 2: really hitting in the community. Because I can get five
18:12
Speaker 2: people together. I can get five people together to just say, hey,
18:17
Speaker 2: you know, almonds and avocados cost too much. I can
18:21
Speaker 2: get five people together. Does it warrant news coverage? I
18:24
Speaker 2: would hope not. I don't think it should. I don't
18:27
Speaker 2: think people should come and see me complaining about the
18:31
Speaker 2: cost of avocados or whatever it is. I don't think
18:35
Speaker 2: that's really worth news coverage, is it? Is it worth
18:38
Speaker 2: sending a reporter out to get video? Someone gets paid
18:44
Speaker 2: to take video of this, Someone gets paid to talk
18:47
Speaker 2: with some of the people there, and you could talk
18:49
Speaker 2: to all of them, you know, in a really short
18:51
Speaker 2: amount of time. Like I said, I saw five, I
18:53
Speaker 2: don't know how many were their total, And this news
18:55
Speaker 2: story I didn't see a report of how many were there.
18:59
Speaker 2: But why, at what point do we say this isn't
19:04
Speaker 2: the hot button issue in our community that we're trying
19:07
Speaker 2: to make it into. It's five people with rolled up
19:12
Speaker 2: flags chatting with each other on the side of the road.
19:15
Speaker 2: That's what it was when I saw it as I
19:17
Speaker 2: drove past. Maybe they had a real, you know, fire
19:21
Speaker 2: in their bellies prior to or after I drove by.
19:26
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I can tell you with my eyes,
19:31
Speaker 2: I saw five people, and I don't know that that
19:33
Speaker 2: warrants a news story. Today's show brought to you by
19:35
Speaker 2: Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and
19:40
Speaker 2: educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career
19:46
Speaker 2: holders that really of all ages. I mean, they do
19:50
Speaker 2: it for school age kids as school age kids visit
19:53
Speaker 2: the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do
19:55
Speaker 2: it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
20:01
Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
20:06
Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
20:09
Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
20:17
Speaker 2: also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got
20:19
Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School
20:24
Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
20:27
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
20:32
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
20:34
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
20:38
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
20:43

Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
21:28
Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage
21:31
Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
21:37
Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
21:40
Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
21:44
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
21:47
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
21:50
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
21:53
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
21:56
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
21:59
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
22:02
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
22:04
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
22:08
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
22:11
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
22:15
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
22:18
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
22:21
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
22:24
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
22:27
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
22:30
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
22:32
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid. You'd like to
22:35
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
22:36
Speaker 2: all the insects in, They can do that for you
22:39
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
22:42
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
22:45
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
22:48
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
22:51
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six orty five eight forty five

Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
23:01
Speaker 2: after the break. Well, if you think putting your phone
23:13
Speaker 2: away will make you more productive, think again. A study
23:17
Speaker 2: from the London School of Economics found that even when
23:20
Speaker 2: our phones are out of reach, we just find other
23:23
Speaker 2: ways to distract ourselves, like scrolling on our computers instead.
23:27
Speaker 2: Truth is, it's not simply the phone that's the problem.
23:30
Speaker 2: It's our habits. We're so used to checking our devices
23:33
Speaker 2: that when we switch to another screen we use just
23:37
Speaker 2: as much as we would a phone screen, even if
23:41
Speaker 2: the other one's out of sight. So keep that in mind.
23:44
Speaker 2: It's just the habit. In general, whatever you're scrolling on,
23:47
Speaker 2: you'll find a way to do the scrolling. An antique
23:51
Speaker 2: store owner went to an auction recently where a piece
23:54
Speaker 2: of artwork caught her eye. Heidi Marco, who owns salvage
23:58
Speaker 2: Goods antiques in eastern Sylvania, bought an art piece for
24:02
Speaker 2: twelve dollars. She said, I didn't know what it was.
24:05
Speaker 2: I just knew I wanted it. The piece stood out
24:07
Speaker 2: to me as something special, and she was right. When
24:10
Speaker 2: she got home, she noticed a faint signature on the sketch.
24:14
Speaker 2: It looked like it said Renoir. Yeah, that one. The
24:19
Speaker 2: French impression is painter. She believes the sketch might even
24:22
Speaker 2: depict Renoa's wife, Aileen Sharago. Heidi now on a quest
24:29
Speaker 2: to authenticate this potential masterpiece. If it's genuine. That twelve
24:35
Speaker 2: dollars could of course lead to a very small fortune.
24:39
Speaker 2: But then she's got that whole challenge of like I
24:41
Speaker 2: really wanted this. I wanted it, but you know, you
24:46
Speaker 2: gotta sell it, right, I mean that kind of turnaround.
24:49
Speaker 2: Maybe keep it for a little while. I don't know.
24:51
Speaker 2: I think I'd sell it as soon as pot It's
24:52
Speaker 2: like having a lottery ticket in your pocket, a winning
24:55
Speaker 2: lottery ticket. You can't get there fast enough to cash
24:58
Speaker 2: it in, right. I mean, you got to do all
25:00
Speaker 2: the things the lawyer and the accountant and all the
25:02
Speaker 2: things that help you make sure you don't mess up yourself,
25:05
Speaker 2: but you got to get somewhere and cash it in
25:07
Speaker 2: as soon as possible. Right. You know that feeling when
25:12
Speaker 2: you see a cute puppy or kitten or a cute baby, Well,
25:17
Speaker 2: there's a word for it now in the Oxford English
25:20
Speaker 2: Dictionary that defines that feeling, and that word is gigle.
25:31
Speaker 2: And it's a taglong word from the Philippines that describes
25:34
Speaker 2: the overwhelming feeling when that you get when you see
25:40
Speaker 2: something extremely cute. It can be used as both noun
25:44
Speaker 2: or adjective. I just saw a baby Kingwin, I'm baby penguin,
25:49
Speaker 2: and I'm so gigle, an Oxford English Dictionary just added
25:52
Speaker 2: as part of its most recent update. So gigle. I
25:57
Speaker 2: like it. It's a good word. I guess I'm saying
26:00
Speaker 2: it right. It's got a pronunciation key there and that's
26:03
Speaker 2: the way it's described. But I like it. And you
26:07
Speaker 2: know now that it has a term, I wonder does
26:09
Speaker 2: it also apply like when like a kid? I always
26:13
Speaker 2: like the videos when kids get their little first puppy
26:16
Speaker 2: or kitten. It's usually a puppy in the videos that
26:19
Speaker 2: you see, but they get the puppy and the puppy
26:21
Speaker 2: is so cute. The kid starts crying. And sometimes the
26:24
Speaker 2: kid can be like twelve, but it just breaks them
26:26
Speaker 2: down and they start crying. I guess that would also
26:28
Speaker 2: be a Gegle moment, wouldn't it. Researchers continue to find
26:33
Speaker 2: answers to life's biggest questions, including the one what sound
26:37
Speaker 2: does a shark make? Until now, no one's been able
26:42
Speaker 2: to answer that question, except for a few maybe who
26:45
Speaker 2: got too close and weren't able to actually share, you know,
26:48
Speaker 2: the information, because if you get too close then you
26:53
Speaker 2: probably don't live to tell. But it turns out the
26:56
Speaker 2: silent hunter of the sea not really so silent after all.
26:59
Speaker 2: The Royal Society of Open Science journal published its first
27:03
Speaker 2: documented case of sharks producing sounds. Scientists studied the rig
27:08
Speaker 2: shark off the coast of New Zealand and found that
27:10
Speaker 2: when they were approached, that sharks make a clicking sound
27:14
Speaker 2: by snapping their teeth. Researchers believe the clicking sounds may
27:19
Speaker 2: be some sort of warning or distress signal it's clicking
27:23
Speaker 2: its teeth together, probably more of a warning. I mean,
27:27
Speaker 2: I'm not an expert, I'm not a sharkologist. I'm just
27:29
Speaker 2: telling you if it starts chomping its teeth, Like if
27:31
Speaker 2: I'm picking up an apple and I'm about to eat it,
27:34
Speaker 2: and I start chomping my teeth before I eat it,
27:38
Speaker 2: it's a good indication to the apple. It's times running out,
27:42
Speaker 2: that's all. Tax deadline is approaching, and now is the
27:46
Speaker 2: time to file your taxes so you don't run into
27:49
Speaker 2: any IRS troubles. But according to a new survey, many
27:51
Speaker 2: Americans are willing to take their chances this year with
27:54
Speaker 2: the IRS because of DOGE, and they've let many workers
27:59
Speaker 2: with the IRS go. The survey, conducted by Credit Karma,
28:03
Speaker 2: found twenty four percent of Americans say they're less concerned
28:06
Speaker 2: about making a mistake on their tax return this year
28:08
Speaker 2: because they don't think there's enough workers to catch it.
28:11
Speaker 2: Thos a famous last words. Seventeen percent of millennials said
28:15
Speaker 2: they may not even file their taxes this year because
28:17
Speaker 2: they think they won't get audited. An expert with Credit
28:20
Speaker 2: karmas as everyone should pay their taxes because you definitely
28:24
Speaker 2: don't want to mess with the irs. That's fair, even
28:28
Speaker 2: in depleted numbers. Don't mess with the irs. That'll do
28:31
Speaker 2: it for this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks to
28:34
Speaker 2: our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch
28:37
