0:05
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, twelfth day of August Time, West, Thanks for
0:15
Speaker 2: joining me. I told you before when it comes to
0:21
Speaker 2: my dragon Con coverage this year powered by Columbus State
0:26
Speaker 2: University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, as it has been
0:29
Speaker 2: for many years, and the dragon Con pregame show coming
0:33
Speaker 2: up on August twenty ninth, where we will have interviews
0:36
Speaker 2: with guests who will be attending the convention and will
0:39
Speaker 2: tell you what you need to know about this year's
0:42
Speaker 2: nonprofit they're partnering with, and new things and why this
0:46
Speaker 2: is dragon Con forty and all the things you need
0:49
Speaker 2: to know about the upcoming convention that happens Labor Day weekend,
0:52
Speaker 2: which is all in September this year. And I told
0:56
Speaker 2: you before this year's guests. Because the dragon Con Convention
1:01
Speaker 2: takes place in September, we'll get our announcement about the
1:04
Speaker 2: guests a little bit later than we normally do. I
1:09
Speaker 2: have turned in all of my my wish list of
1:13
Speaker 2: interviews I'd like to do this year. There were there
1:16
Speaker 2: were three really big ones that I wanted. Two of
1:21
Speaker 2: them I have. I have interviews scheduled for I want
1:29
Speaker 2: like this extra bit of confirmation before I say, I'll
1:32
Speaker 2: just I'll just give you a little hint. It's a
1:36
Speaker 2: pretty big hint. I'll just throw out a couple of hints.
1:38
Speaker 2: Two of the big fandoms that will be represented at
1:43
Speaker 2: the convention this year at Dragon Con Battlestar Galactica we'll
1:46
Speaker 2: have a lot of people there, and also the show
1:51
Speaker 2: Smallville will have a lot of representation there, and I've
1:55
Speaker 2: talked about some of the people who would be there.
1:57
Speaker 2: I'll just say a couple of things. First of all,
2:01
Speaker 2: if you were in daily life, if you were to
2:05
Speaker 2: have to deal with like a Cylon, it might also
2:11
Speaker 2: be to your advantage to have a Kryptonian on your side.
2:17
Speaker 2: That's all I'm gonna say at this point. All Right,
2:20
Speaker 2: so you kind of figure things out. And I'll just
2:22
Speaker 2: point out the fact that a year ago one of
2:28
Speaker 2: the Battlestar guests who was returning this year in Katie Sackoff.
2:33
Speaker 2: I had her on the show, and in the last
2:35
Speaker 2: couple of years I have had Kristin Kruk, who played
2:40
Speaker 2: Lana on Smallville. These are just kind of continuations of
2:45
Speaker 2: those types of interviews. That's that's all I'm saying. So
2:48
Speaker 2: if you were to be attacked by a Cylon, you
2:52
Speaker 2: would like a Kryptonian on your side. That's that's that's it.
2:57
Speaker 2: That's as much as I can say comfortable at this point.
3:00
Speaker 2: But those interviews are scheduled. They are coming soon, and
3:04
Speaker 2: I will tell you very soon about exactly the confirmation
3:09
Speaker 2: on this and that third one that's hanging in the balance.
3:13
Speaker 2: It might be Monday, and it may be Monday before
3:16
Speaker 2: I can officially tell you who they all are. But
3:17
Speaker 2: I'm very excited about this year's lineup. Two so far
3:21
Speaker 2: and the third one would just be wow. That's all
3:25
Speaker 2: I can say. That's it. One of my white whales
3:28
Speaker 2: is hanging out there, so I'll just I'll leave it
3:31
Speaker 2: at that for now. But get ready for dragon Con
3:34
Speaker 2: with the Pregame Show August twenty ninth on radio about
3:37
Speaker 2: two hundred radio stations around Georgia and neighboring states, as
3:42
Speaker 2: well as the Dragon Con Pregame Show podcast, where you
3:44
Speaker 2: can go back and listen to last year's interview with
3:46
Speaker 2: Katie Sackoff, you can go back and listen to my
3:48
Speaker 2: interview with Kristin Krue. They're waiting for you on that
3:50
Speaker 2: podcast wherever you get your podcasts. Before I get to
3:55
Speaker 2: what I want to talk about today, I just want
3:57
Speaker 2: to talk about this story that I saw. It's a
4:00
Speaker 2: a lending Tree survey that was done. Thirty percent of
4:04
Speaker 2: Americans admit that they have shoplifted, and that is up
4:07
Speaker 2: from twenty three percent two years ago. And it's not
4:13
Speaker 2: the expensive things necessarily. What may be very concerning is
4:18
Speaker 2: that it's everyday essential items food drinks leading the way
4:24
Speaker 2: at about thirty percent, and when I say drinks, non
4:26
Speaker 2: alcoholic drinks, clothing at twenty five percent, personal care products
4:31
Speaker 2: twenty percent. And that basically, out of the people who
4:34
Speaker 2: admit to shoplifting, more than a third say that they've
4:38
Speaker 2: done it within the last year. Overwhelming majority ninety percent
4:41
Speaker 2: blame financial pressure, inflation, economy, all these things. And what
4:47
Speaker 2: I saw this and I thought, Okay, well, this is,
4:50
Speaker 2: you know, blaming it on inflation in the economy. I
4:55
Speaker 2: think there's more going on here, and I think it's
4:57
Speaker 2: important that we acknowledge that there's more going on than
5:00
Speaker 2: just that. I mean, that's I'm sure part of it,
5:05
Speaker 2: and we can all now really start to pinpoint the
5:09
Speaker 2: spiral and issues we've had with the economy from twenty
5:14
Speaker 2: twenty one to twenty twenty five. We know what, you know,
5:17
Speaker 2: what we were dealing with leading into the beginning of
5:21
Speaker 2: the second Trump presidency. Obviously we've still had issues with
5:25
Speaker 2: the economy since, but we now know at least we
5:28
Speaker 2: can go back to actually doctor Fauci and know as
5:32
Speaker 2: we continue to go through his text messages and his journal,
5:35
Speaker 2: his diary, his dear diary that was locked up with
5:38
Speaker 2: a little key that you could pick, and we know
5:43
Speaker 2: a lot of the blame can go back there to
5:45
Speaker 2: someone who was gleefully manipulating the economy and shutting things
5:49
Speaker 2: down and ending people's careers and all that fun stuff.
5:54
Speaker 2: I think that the other part of this that we
5:56
Speaker 2: need to remember, though, is the fact that a big
6:00
Speaker 2: part of this issue is the fact that we have
6:03
Speaker 2: taken this idea of stealing and we've made it more justified.
6:09
Speaker 2: It's just something that we're convincing ourselves is okay. Not
6:15
Speaker 2: all of us, but there are some people that feel
6:18
Speaker 2: like now it's okay to steal, just like yet people
6:20
Speaker 2: who think it's okay to murder CEOs of healthcare companies,
6:23
Speaker 2: No big deal, murder someone that you disagree with. That's,
6:27
Speaker 2: you know, speaking at a university and supporting free speech,
6:31
Speaker 2: trying to take the life of the president of the
6:33
Speaker 2: United States, as if that's not a horrible thing to do,
6:38
Speaker 2: and it would have an impact on not just our
6:41
Speaker 2: economy in a negative way, it would have an impact
6:44
Speaker 2: on the world economy in a negative way. But people
6:46
Speaker 2: don't understand that. They don't comprehend all of these things.
6:50
Speaker 2: And when you're telling people that it's okay to rob stores,
6:56
Speaker 2: that it's okay to steal, you're telling people that it's
7:00
Speaker 2: justified in some way. Then yes, there's gonna be an
7:03
Speaker 2: uptick in cases of people doing it. Shoplifting is going
7:06
Speaker 2: to be up and it's going to be a problem
7:08
Speaker 2: that we all have to deal with. We all end
7:10
Speaker 2: up paying for it. And you know, you've got this mindset, well,
7:12
Speaker 2: it's just an insurance company is gonna pay for it,
7:14
Speaker 2: and screw them. They don't deserve to have money anyway,
7:18
Speaker 2: And that's not how it works. So this is a
7:19
Speaker 2: big corporate entity that we're just gonna steal from, and
7:23
Speaker 2: they knocked out small businesses, so it's okay to steal
7:26
Speaker 2: from them. It's not. It's not okay, and you know, sorry,
7:32
Speaker 2: it's just not. That's not what makes it okay. If
7:37
Speaker 2: you think somehow you are fighting this system and that
7:41
Speaker 2: you are somehow part of the great Revolution, you're not.
7:45
Speaker 2: You're not and this isn't part of the revolution. This
7:48
Speaker 2: is not what you're doing. You're just stealing. And that's
7:51
Speaker 2: what's going on. There's cases where you know, you could say, well,
7:54
Speaker 2: people are going hungry, and you know there's a justified
7:57
Speaker 2: stealing in that regard. We're not talking about that. That's
7:59
Speaker 2: not what we're talking about. We're talking about people that
8:01
Speaker 2: have just basically said it's okay to go steal. People
8:05
Speaker 2: that have just said I'm gonna go take whatever I
8:08
Speaker 2: need because you know, I'm entitled to it. And that's
8:11
Speaker 2: part of it as well. It's not everybody, not everybody
8:14
Speaker 2: in this case is doing that, but just you can't
8:16
Speaker 2: be surprised that we've seen this bump in cases of
8:20
Speaker 2: shoplifting like that these numbers, and just pretend that that's
8:25
Speaker 2: not part of what's going on, at least to some degree.
8:28
Speaker 2: So all right, other thing I want to talk about
8:31
Speaker 2: today is and this is an interesting concept as more
8:40
Speaker 2: and more people really are getting into these specific causes,
8:46
Speaker 2: and we talk about them sometimes where we say, like,
8:48
Speaker 2: this becomes your cause, it becomes your thing that you're
8:50
Speaker 2: gonna get on board with. Whether it's, hey, i'm gonna
8:53
Speaker 2: support this CEO murdering guy. You know, I'm gonna support
8:57
Speaker 2: that guy, or you're gonna, you know, say it's justified
9:01
Speaker 2: to try to kill the president, or you're going to
9:03
Speaker 2: say any number of horrific things is okay to do,
9:09
Speaker 2: or you're going to get on the Basically, the environmental causes,
9:15
Speaker 2: the green energy causes that are making other people financially
9:21
Speaker 2: wealthy beyond comprehension if legislation goes their way or Al
9:29
Speaker 2: Gore was the great example of that when he would say,
9:31
Speaker 2: you know, yes, I run a lot of electricity in
9:33
Speaker 2: my house, but I buy carbon credits to offset it,
9:36
Speaker 2: and that's what I do. So I offset all of it.
9:38
Speaker 2: And they go, oh, well, who do you buy the
9:39
Speaker 2: carbon credits from it? And he goes, oh, from my company,
9:42
Speaker 2: So you know, taking money out of his wallet and
9:44
Speaker 2: putting it in his pocket, and somehow he's offset all
9:48
Speaker 2: of the electricity that he's used. And so that kind
9:52
Speaker 2: of mindset, and there's people who've profited off of it.
9:55
Speaker 2: There's researchers and scientists who've made their whole careers off
9:59
Speaker 2: of that, getting their funding through it. And look, no matter,
10:02
Speaker 2: I am absolutely not someone who thinks we should be
10:05
Speaker 2: destroying our environment. I don't believe that at all. That's
10:10
Speaker 2: not my thinking in any capacity. And I believe that
10:15
Speaker 2: I'm a stewardship environmentalist and that I believe that, yes,
10:19
Speaker 2: take care of the planet that we were gifted. That's
10:21
Speaker 2: what we should do. This is something that is our home,
10:23
Speaker 2: this is where we are. This is what we should
10:25
Speaker 2: take care of. And it disturbs me to no end
10:31
Speaker 2: when garbage is just put out into the atmosphere, when
10:36
Speaker 2: garbage is thrown on the ground and littering. All of
10:39
Speaker 2: those things bother me, okay, But as far as the cause,
10:43
Speaker 2: as far as the money and the financial side of it.
10:46
Speaker 2: This movement that's come in now on the Democrat Party,
10:49
Speaker 2: that's the communists, that are the DSA communists that are
10:53
Speaker 2: this is what we're going to do. We're going to
10:55
Speaker 2: overthrow the American government, which I think is you know,
10:59
Speaker 2: very you got a toe on the insurrection line. But
11:02
Speaker 2: people don't want to acknowledge that. So people that will
11:06
Speaker 2: get caught up in these things, these movements. Right, this
11:10
Speaker 2: idea of a politician comes in and tells you this
11:13
Speaker 2: is what I'm gonna you got, Tallarico in Texas. Let
11:16
Speaker 2: me tell you really about who Jesus was, right. This
11:19
Speaker 2: is what Jesus is when it comes to transgenderism. This
11:24
Speaker 2: is what Jesus is about. Why the Bible says it's
11:27
Speaker 2: okay to abort a baby. And you know the kind
11:29
Speaker 2: of things that this guy's saying. And you're going, first
11:31
Speaker 2: of all, this taking the Lord's name in vain commandment
11:38
Speaker 2: might be one that you're checking in on, right, That
11:40
Speaker 2: just maybe something that you might want to check in on.
11:43
Speaker 2: That's all You're doing all this in the name of
11:46
Speaker 2: and just be careful. That's all I would. That's all
11:48
Speaker 2: I would. There's a few other things, but that's part
11:50
Speaker 2: of what I would recommend. But this idea of people
11:54
Speaker 2: that they got nothing better to do but just sit
11:57
Speaker 2: around and fire off stuff on social media, or you know,
12:00
Speaker 2: watch the news and get angry and shake their fist
12:03
Speaker 2: at the screen. And I know not everybody has a
12:07
Speaker 2: show like this where they convent. I understand that, I
12:10
Speaker 2: get it. I do everything in my powork to not
12:15
Speaker 2: talk about all the things I talk about here throughout
12:20
Speaker 2: my entire day. There were periods of time where my wife,
12:24
Speaker 2: over the last you know, twenty years of covering politics,
12:27
Speaker 2: would just say, hey, save it for the show, okay,
12:32
Speaker 2: And a lot of times it was just me bouncing ideas,
12:34
Speaker 2: but she's just pointing out the fact that I, you know,
12:37
Speaker 2: you don't have to convince me it's okay, we don't
12:39
Speaker 2: have to talk about this tonight. But the people who
12:42
Speaker 2: get really worked up and they're just angry and shaking
12:46
Speaker 2: their fist, and both sides do this, And first of all,
12:49
Speaker 2: life's too short for all that, so let's start with that.
12:52
Speaker 2: But just knowing that you have people that are at
12:58
Speaker 2: a place in their life where there is some sort
13:01
Speaker 2: of a void or absence or whatever it is, there's
13:05
Speaker 2: some vacancy in their day to day that is just
13:11
Speaker 2: not being filled and the only way that they can
13:14
Speaker 2: fill it is with all of this nonsense. And I
13:18
Speaker 2: say nonsense. I'm not discounting whatever it is they believe in.
13:21
Speaker 2: And I believe that people should have their well thought out,
13:25
Speaker 2: well calculated reasons for voting and their belief system that
13:30
Speaker 2: tells them. You know, this is why I'm leaning towards
13:33
Speaker 2: this particular issue in this direction. I do. I think
13:37
Speaker 2: people should and I don't expect everybody to agree with
13:40
Speaker 2: me on everything. I just don't expect that. I know
13:44
Speaker 2: that there's different opinions, and I know that people have that,
13:48
Speaker 2: But I think that people are struggling with this whole,
13:53
Speaker 2: this gap in their lives, and I think that they
13:56
Speaker 2: just want to feel something, They just want to have
13:59
Speaker 2: some sort of a and you know, you could get
14:04
Speaker 2: into the psychology behind this, you could get into this
14:07
Speaker 2: from a therapists standpoint, whatever it is. And I know
14:10
Speaker 2: a lot of people that are just they're obsessed with
14:13
Speaker 2: some sort of a numbing agent, whether it's alcohol, whether
14:16
Speaker 2: it's marijuana. That seems like it's everywhere. It does seem
14:19
Speaker 2: to be. Lately, I'm smelling it a little bit less lately. Thankfully,
14:24
Speaker 2: maybe people are finally going to the vape thing rather
14:27
Speaker 2: than forcing everybody else to smell that wretched smell. But
14:31
Speaker 2: my point is there's this numbing thing, and then there's
14:34
Speaker 2: also the people that are just looking for something that
14:36
Speaker 2: they want to feel, that they want to experience, that
14:39
Speaker 2: they want to have some passion, a passion about because
14:43
Speaker 2: they're lacking that passion and other aspects of their life.
14:46
Speaker 2: Just trying to offer that as this, you know, because
14:49
Speaker 2: I get frustrated. I got people that I'm friends with
14:53
Speaker 2: on social media and I have to snooze them for
14:55
Speaker 2: thirty days or I have to not follow them anymore.
14:58
Speaker 2: I don't tend to delete them anymore. There was a
15:00
Speaker 2: period when I would have done that. I've only done
15:02
Speaker 2: that a few times because I knew this isn't really
15:05
Speaker 2: someone that I really know, and it's you know, we're
15:10
Speaker 2: not going to come to a mutual understanding on things,
15:14
Speaker 2: and I just don't want to see it. And I
15:16
Speaker 2: just feel for that anger and whatever it is that
15:20
Speaker 2: they've got going on, but kind of realizing, in the
15:24
Speaker 2: absence of kind of a stable set of emotional status
15:29
Speaker 2: in their life, they're looking for something to just let
15:33
Speaker 2: them feel something. They're looking for something that will help
15:36
Speaker 2: them try to navigate through whatever it is that they're
15:41
Speaker 2: trying to get through on a daily basis. I just
15:45
Speaker 2: offer that, and I'm reminding myself of that that this
15:48
Speaker 2: is what all of this is really about. You're not
15:51
Speaker 2: in a revolution, You're not really in this state of
15:55
Speaker 2: overthrowing something. You can say I'm going to be part
15:59
Speaker 2: of this, and my beliefs are this and everything I
16:02
Speaker 2: believe you can see reflected in Star Wars or there's
16:06
Speaker 2: a lot of people that do that. They go, this
16:08
Speaker 2: is the rebellion and the emperor is Donald Trump, and
16:14
Speaker 2: no that's not you know, maybe you can make a
16:17
Speaker 2: case with the Simpsons because they've always tried to go
16:20
Speaker 2: back and say, look what the Simpsons predicted, But no,
16:23
Speaker 2: that's not what it is. It's not that at all.
16:26
Speaker 2: And you're not part of a revolution. You're not really
16:29
Speaker 2: overthrowing anything. You're just a part of this system that's
16:35
Speaker 2: trying to give one side power or give the other
16:38
Speaker 2: side power. That's what you are. And you can either
16:41
Speaker 2: fall into that for the sake of having feelings and
16:45
Speaker 2: experiencing and feeling like you're part of something, or you know,
16:50
Speaker 2: you can try to find some joy in your life.
16:54
Speaker 2: I mean, if politics is what brings you joy, but
16:57
Speaker 2: being angry about politics is what brings you, I just
17:00
Speaker 2: don't know how those two can go together. Get ready
17:02
Speaker 2: for Dragon Con forty. It's the fortieth Dragon Con and

19:02
Speaker 2: kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space
19:05
Speaker 2: Science Center, but they also do it through their university
19:08
Speaker 2: programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the
19:13
Speaker 2: careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now.
19:17
Speaker 2: And you can learn more about maybe getting your degree
19:21
Speaker 2: on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also
19:28
Speaker 2: check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this
19:30
Speaker 2: incredible collaboration that they do with the schwob School of
19:35
Speaker 2: Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
19:38
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
19:43
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
19:44
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
19:49
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
19:54
Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
19:58
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
20:01
Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
20:05
Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
20:09
Speaker 2: Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
20:12
Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
20:16
Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
20:18
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events.
20:21
Speaker 2: Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean
20:26
Speaker 2: Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just
20:30
Speaker 2: remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science
20:34
Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
20:38
Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
20:41
Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
20:48
Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
20:51
Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
20:55
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
20:58
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
21:01
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
21:03
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
21:07
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
21:10
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
21:12
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
21:15
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
21:19
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
21:22
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
21:26
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
21:29
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
21:32
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
21:34
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
21:38
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
21:41
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
21:43
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
21:45
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
21:47
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
21:50
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
21:53
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
21:55
Speaker 2: inside your garage, and your garage door won't open, and
21:58
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help. And they do those
22:02
Speaker 2: as well. Seven O six thy five eight forty five
22:04
Speaker 2: hundred seven O six three five eight forty five hundred
22:08
Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
22:12
Speaker 2: after the break, brace yourselves for this one. And I'm
22:24
Speaker 2: gonna be honest with you. All these different flavors of
22:27
Speaker 2: Oreo cookies not always my thing. You give me the
22:32
Speaker 2: regular Oreo, I can do, the varying double and most
22:36
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. That's fine. Golden Oreos I like
22:41
Speaker 2: very much. The peanut butter Oreos. I'll accept that one
22:47
Speaker 2: for me personally. I'm not telling you what you should eat.
22:51
Speaker 2: Most of the others I got no real interest in.
22:54
Speaker 2: Some of them are okay. I just more often than not,
22:58
Speaker 2: if someone says, here, try this new whatever flavor of Oreo,
23:03
Speaker 2: I got little to no interest in it because I've
23:05
Speaker 2: been disappointed many times. So right away, this news for
23:12
Speaker 2: me is sort of a ugh to begin with. But
23:18
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe these are the two great tastes
23:21
Speaker 2: that would taste great together. I don't know. So it's
23:26
Speaker 2: America's favorite cookie in oreo and it's the world's favorite
23:31
Speaker 2: chicken restaurant in KFC. Now, this is a Chinese only thing, apparently,
23:38
Speaker 2: and I don't know if you can have them, probably
23:40
Speaker 2: have them shipped over. You can have anything from China
23:42
Speaker 2: shipped over, I think. But yes, fried chicken flavored oreos
23:48
Speaker 2: with a team up with KFC. So instead of like
23:52
Speaker 2: a normal cream filling for an oreo, there's a savory
23:56
Speaker 2: blend of a legend dairy, eleven herbs and spices. I
24:02
Speaker 2: say a legend a legendary like I'm mixed eleven in
24:04
Speaker 2: a legendary, but in legendary? Did it again? That should
24:08
Speaker 2: be a word? I think. Maybe it'll make it to
24:12
Speaker 2: the US. I don't know. The cookie itself using says
24:16
Speaker 2: KFC on it and has a picture of I guess
24:21
Speaker 2: two pieces of chicken. Is a leg I recognize. Maybe
24:24
Speaker 2: the other is a breast or a thigh. I don't know.
24:27
Speaker 2: Bottom line here is in China you can get KFC
24:33
Speaker 2: flavored oreos. I know how I feel about it. I
24:36
Speaker 2: don't know how you might feel about it. But that's
24:38
Speaker 2: a hard pass. Just give me a regular oreo and
24:41
Speaker 2: a piece of chicken and I'll be just fine, That's
24:44
Speaker 2: where I'm at. According to a new survey, the state
24:50
Speaker 2: that consumes the most alcohol for capita is New Hampshire,
24:54
Speaker 2: and that's followed by Delaware, Nevada, North Dakota, and Montana
24:58
Speaker 2: for the top five. The explanation may be, as experts say,
25:03
Speaker 2: those numbers may be inflated because both New Hampshire and
25:05
Speaker 2: Delaware are known for cheaper, no tax alcohol sales, so
25:09
Speaker 2: people from the neighboring states often cross the border into
25:13
Speaker 2: those states to stock up, which makes them a bootlegger,
25:17
Speaker 2: and that boost sales figures for those states, makes residents
25:20
Speaker 2: look like they may be drinking more than they actually are.
25:26
Speaker 2: The other end of the spectrum, of course, would be Utah,
25:30
Speaker 2: least on the low end, West Virginia and Arkansas. I
25:35
Speaker 2: don't know that I would have guessed West Virginia in Arkansas,
25:37
Speaker 2: to be honest, but there you go. All right. You
25:41
Speaker 2: probably have heard your kids saying something about everything being AI. Oh,
25:46
Speaker 2: that's AI, that's AI. My kids do it about actual AI,
25:50
Speaker 2: and they're more likely to use the term slop in
25:54
Speaker 2: reference to AI. Slop, which of course is you know,
26:01
Speaker 2: really bad AI. Easily recognizable AI, and we see it
26:07
Speaker 2: a lot in these there's TV commercials that run, especially
26:10
Speaker 2: on some of the streaming services, a lot of these
26:13
Speaker 2: ads for this cash card or money card that you
26:18
Speaker 2: can get if you are on Medicare. If you've seen those, yes,
26:25
Speaker 2: those are really bad AI slop commercials. Roku runs a
26:29
Speaker 2: lot of them, in particular if you're watching anything on
26:31
Speaker 2: the Roku channel, and they seem to be in every
26:34
Speaker 2: ad break. So my kids are most likely to say SLOT,
26:37
Speaker 2: but they'll point out AI when they see it. Well,
26:39
Speaker 2: apparently there's this gent Alpha is starting to use the
26:45
Speaker 2: term AI to just be a version of calling someone fake.
26:49
Speaker 2: You know, that's what they're doing. So rather than you know,
26:55
Speaker 2: anything that's fake at all, but people an offer something,
26:59
Speaker 2: they just say, oh, that's AI. Now. Also in this subject,
27:03
Speaker 2: another thing that gen Z is using a lot is
27:07
Speaker 2: instead of saying someone as a poser or a try hard,
27:10
Speaker 2: they're calling them a LARPer or that they are LARPing,
27:15
Speaker 2: which is a term for live action role playing. If
27:19
Speaker 2: you've ever seen it's you may have seen it in person.
27:24
Speaker 2: If you've been to dragon Con, you've witnessed it. But
27:27
Speaker 2: this idea of live action role playing in some cases,
27:30
Speaker 2: you know actually sword fighting and things. So the idea is,
27:34
Speaker 2: if you see someone's trying a little bit too hard
27:36
Speaker 2: to put out a certain image, gen Z will say
27:39
Speaker 2: they're LARPing. So you know, the photos online to show
27:44
Speaker 2: off their meals or whatever they got going on, all
27:47
Speaker 2: their fun vacations and things. They'll say, Ah, you're just LARPing.
27:53
Speaker 2: I don't know that that one's really going to catch
27:54
Speaker 2: on outside of that age group. But the AI thing,
27:59
Speaker 2: I could see that that one maybe catching on, But
28:01
Speaker 2: I don't know about this LARPing thing. That'll do it
28:04
Speaker 2: for this Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks to our
28:07
Speaker 2: sponsors and patrons. Thanks for listening. I'll catch you back
28:11
Speaker 2: here tomorrow morning.
