Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day and you're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, twenty seventh day of August. I'm West, Thanks
- 0:14Speaker 2: for starting your day with me. Will they or won't they?
- 0:21Speaker 2: I mean, we keep seeing reports that say they've worked
- 0:25Speaker 2: it out and they're going to debate, but we don't
- 0:28Speaker 2: know really where things are because it seems to constantly
- 0:30Speaker 2: be changing. When Donald Trump was running against Joe Biden,
- 0:36Speaker 2: they agreed on conditions and days and everything was set
- 0:43Speaker 2: for what the debates would be. And then the first
- 0:47Speaker 2: debate happened and we know how that went. Joe Biden
- 0:49Speaker 2: was just run off with torches and pitchforks away because
- 0:55Speaker 2: he did so badly, Not because he lost the votes
- 1:02Speaker 2: of the people, not because there was an actual primary
- 1:06Speaker 2: and he didn't get enough votes. No, he was run
- 1:09Speaker 2: off by higher ups that are concerned about keeping control.
- 1:15Speaker 2: And that's it. It's all. It's about the only thing
- 1:17Speaker 2: it was about. They said he can't win. He has
- 1:21Speaker 2: been exposed. We have played this game for years about
- 1:25Speaker 2: how great he is and how vibrant and vigorous he is,
- 1:31Speaker 2: and he's neither of those and we now can see
- 1:34Speaker 2: it publicly, and if anything, we need to worry about
- 1:37Speaker 2: whether or not people are going to demand that he
- 1:40Speaker 2: be thrown out of office. You know, you get to
- 1:44Speaker 2: a point where you say, if he's not physically able
- 1:46Speaker 2: to do the job anymore, and how long has he
- 1:49Speaker 2: been that way? And could they just throw him out?
- 1:52Speaker 2: Just throw him out office. I wonder if they threatened
- 1:55Speaker 2: that when they actually got him to step down. I mean,
- 1:57Speaker 2: I really do wonder if it came to that because
- 2:00Speaker 2: he didn't want to step down. We've heard the stories
- 2:04Speaker 2: about how Jill Biden, his wife, I'm sorry, the doctor
- 2:09Speaker 2: Jill Biden. She didn't like Kamala Harris because of the
- 2:13Speaker 2: things Kamala Harris said about Joe about the president then
- 2:19Speaker 2: the candidate during the primary season. She was around for
- 2:22Speaker 2: one debate, then she went after him. She went after
- 2:26Speaker 2: him hard and didn't do her any good at all.
- 2:30Speaker 2: In fact, all it did was get her completely run
- 2:32Speaker 2: out of those primaries. So conditions were set, they were
- 2:38Speaker 2: going to debate, and they had a series of debates
- 2:40Speaker 2: all planned, and Joe Biden was just attacked from all sides,
- 2:46Speaker 2: stabbed in the back. That's the loyalty. That's how desperate
- 2:49Speaker 2: they are to keep control. Once you have control, you
- 2:54Speaker 2: don't want to give it up under any circumstance. Nobody
- 2:57Speaker 2: wants to give it up. Right. And the accusations that
- 3:02Speaker 2: things that Trump said on Twitter or things that Trump said,
- 3:05Speaker 2: they thought they were he was given some kind of
- 3:07Speaker 2: secret codes. He was doing these like wink wink things
- 3:11Speaker 2: to people online and asking people to go to the
- 3:14Speaker 2: Capitol and go inside and commit treason. Right, that's what
- 3:20Speaker 2: they said. That was what the accusations were, that he
- 3:23Speaker 2: did all those things but through secret wording, secret wink
- 3:26Speaker 2: wink coding that he did never use the words right
- 3:31Speaker 2: in those tweets. That's not what he said. But people
- 3:33Speaker 2: went to the Capitol and they screamed insurrection because they
- 3:36Speaker 2: wanted to be able to ultimately try to prosecute him.
- 3:38Speaker 2: That's what they wanted. They wanted this to become something
- 3:41Speaker 2: where they could throw people. Are there's still people that
- 3:45Speaker 2: have just vanished from the earth that were in the
- 3:48Speaker 2: Capitol or were accused of being in the Capitol, or
- 3:51Speaker 2: were in DC maybe at a Starbucks getting a coffee
- 3:54Speaker 2: and I guess their phone told everybody they were in
- 3:56Speaker 2: the Capitol and oh you were there, we know you
- 3:59Speaker 2: were there. Get those people. Enough of those people away?
- 4:02Speaker 2: Could that be enough votes? Depending on what state they're from,
- 4:06Speaker 2: maybe we should look into that. What swing states are
- 4:09Speaker 2: the people that just vanished from the face of the earth.
- 4:12Speaker 2: What states were they from? Anyway, I don't think they've
- 4:15Speaker 2: just completely vanished, but they're probably still some locked up,
- 4:18Speaker 2: aren't there. I mean, we never really got the end
- 4:20Speaker 2: of those stories, did we Just we heard about them
- 4:22Speaker 2: and then they just stopped talking about them altogether. But anyway,
- 4:27Speaker 2: I digress. My point is that the debates that are
- 4:35Speaker 2: supposed to happen between Trump and now Kamala Harris, who
- 4:41Speaker 2: just was appointed. She was appointed to be They just
- 4:45Speaker 2: decided it's her. There's no threat to democracy, there's no insurrection,
- 4:52Speaker 2: there's by running a president out of office, none of
- 4:55Speaker 2: none of that. They just decided he had to step
- 4:58Speaker 2: down and that she would be the appointed candidate. That
- 5:01Speaker 2: was the decision. So at first, when the discussion about
- 5:05Speaker 2: when they would debate came up, she said, well, Trump,
- 5:10Speaker 2: I guess said he did not want it to be ABC.
- 5:14Speaker 2: He had issues with George Stepanoffolis, former Democrat strategist, A
- 5:21Speaker 2: good friend of the Clinton family and also part of
- 5:24Speaker 2: one of these court cases. He had issues with that,
- 5:28Speaker 2: and he said, I don't want to do it there,
- 5:29Speaker 2: maybe we should do it on Fox. We need to
- 5:31Speaker 2: get a different person running the debate. And that's when
- 5:36Speaker 2: the Harris campaign said, well, they were conditions he agreed
- 5:40Speaker 2: to him. Apparently he's a big old fraidy cat. He's
- 5:43Speaker 2: afraid he's not going to debate. He's scared he can't
- 5:47Speaker 2: do it. And ultimately, I guess I think I saw
- 5:52Speaker 2: it was decided they'd have a different moderator, so that
- 5:55Speaker 2: seemed to be the resolution, and like things, we're going
- 5:57Speaker 2: to move forward. And now some demands I guess came
- 6:02Speaker 2: from the Harris campaign. They don't want the mics muted,
- 6:05Speaker 2: they want them sitting down, they want them to be
- 6:07Speaker 2: able to have notes. I wonder why. I wonder why
- 6:09Speaker 2: it's important that she have notes to go by. And
- 6:13Speaker 2: I guess the strategy from the Harris campaign is that
- 6:17Speaker 2: they want the mics not muted between questions because they're
- 6:21Speaker 2: hoping that Trump will say something to I guess, embarrass himself,
- 6:24Speaker 2: make him seem like a bully, or you know, not
- 6:27Speaker 2: be able to conduct himself in a proper way. They
- 6:29Speaker 2: thought he got away with looking like the nice guy
- 6:33Speaker 2: against Biden, so they don't want him to get away
- 6:37Speaker 2: with that. So they said that, no, this is the
- 6:40Speaker 2: conditions that we're going to do it under. And ultimately,
- 6:43Speaker 2: I guess now it's been decided that the Trump campaign
- 6:46Speaker 2: says that's fine, we'll we'll do it. But I don't
- 6:50Speaker 2: know where we are. I don't know what the final
- 6:52Speaker 2: verdict was. I saw this back and forth yesterday. But
- 6:54Speaker 2: my question is what happened to the Well, these were
- 6:57Speaker 2: their agreed upon terms. Why hasn't they Harris campaign been
- 7:01Speaker 2: called big fraidy cats or whatever for not I mean,
- 7:04Speaker 2: what are the changes for? Why are we making changes
- 7:07Speaker 2: to it? If we're saying Trump shouldn't be able to
- 7:09Speaker 2: make changes, or is it, well, he made a change,
- 7:12Speaker 2: so we want to make a change. I suppose it
- 7:14Speaker 2: could be elements of that. So the Harris campaign continuing
- 7:21Speaker 2: to try to milk it. They had the press all
- 7:23Speaker 2: over it that Trump was a baby and didn't want
- 7:25Speaker 2: to do it, and they're still saying now he's afraid
- 7:27Speaker 2: he can't do the he can't debate with the changes,
- 7:30Speaker 2: and that's why he didn't want to do it. So
- 7:34Speaker 2: I assume eventually they're going to actually talk to each other,
- 7:37Speaker 2: and assume eventually she's gonna they say, between now and
- 7:40Speaker 2: the end of the month, she's going to actually have
- 7:42Speaker 2: some sort of a press conference or some sort of
- 7:46Speaker 2: an interview. I guess I'll believe it when I see it.
- 7:50Speaker 2: It's probably going to be a joke. I can't imagine
- 7:53Speaker 2: it's not going to be one of those press conferences
- 7:55Speaker 2: where the questions are already set and she already has
- 7:57Speaker 2: all of her answers planned out, probably with her notes.
- 8:00Speaker 2: She needs notes. So if they go in with a
- 8:07Speaker 2: group of actual journalists, actual reporters that are going to
- 8:11Speaker 2: ask her hard questions, and they get to all asked questions,
- 8:15Speaker 2: this could be really bad for her. They're not going
- 8:17Speaker 2: to let that happen. They're trying to ride everything out
- 8:20Speaker 2: as much as they can. So yesterday, the former President
- 8:26Speaker 2: Trump was speaking at the National Guard conference in Michigan yesterday,
- 8:37Speaker 2: and there he was. This is on the anniversary of
- 8:44Speaker 2: the suicide bombing killed thirteen service members after the Afghanistan
- 8:49Speaker 2: with Afghanistan war withdrawal, and Trump was there speaking. Did
- 8:54Speaker 2: a typical Trump kind of speech. Talked and talked and
- 8:57Speaker 2: talked long speech, had a lot to say, covered lot
- 9:00Speaker 2: of grounds, but there was something and I thought, I thought,
- 9:05Speaker 2: and I said this yesterday, I thought the timing of
- 9:09Speaker 2: the RFK Junior endorsement was was really brilliant. I don't
- 9:14Speaker 2: know if it was planned that way. I don't know
- 9:16Speaker 2: if it was orchestrated that way, but I definitely feel
- 9:20Speaker 2: that that was the case now after what happened yesterday,
- 9:25Speaker 2: because that endorsement certainly sent shock waves through you know,
- 9:31Speaker 2: people who have been lifelong Democrats and that someone broke
- 9:37Speaker 2: away from the party and it's Kennedy. Now, of course
- 9:42Speaker 2: the other Kennedy's had to come in and tell him,
- 9:44Speaker 2: you know, he's a big jerk, and you know, they whatever,
- 9:46Speaker 2: they went after him. But this is someone who knows
- 9:53Speaker 2: a thing or two about assassinations in RFK Junior, and
- 9:58Speaker 2: he saw what happened to former President Trump. But he
- 10:03Speaker 2: gave a solid endorsement. He says that this is the
- 10:06Speaker 2: only way to save the values that America stands for,
- 10:10Speaker 2: that America needs. That was that was, you know, he
- 10:12Speaker 2: can get much longer and raspier breakdown of all of that.
- 10:17Speaker 2: But so that was you know, Friday, then there's yesterday.
- 10:24Speaker 2: As now independent former Democrat Tulsa Gabbard endorsed former President Trump,
- 10:35Speaker 2: and she certainly has been a critic of a Democrat party.
- 10:42Speaker 2: She certainly has had issues with the party. One of
- 10:46Speaker 2: the things that I get the impression of is that
- 10:50Speaker 2: you have some Democrats that seem like they're you know,
- 10:53Speaker 2: rising stars in the party, and they get to a
- 10:57Speaker 2: point where it seems like, wow, this this is someone
- 11:00Speaker 2: who could be a real contender for a leadership role.
- 11:05Speaker 2: But are they going to play the game? Are they
- 11:07Speaker 2: going to play the game that we want him to play?
- 11:09Speaker 2: Because right now they have Biden who's been playing the game.
- 11:13Speaker 2: I have no doubt that decisions are being made behind
- 11:16Speaker 2: the scenes. He has nothing to do with it from
- 11:19Speaker 2: what I hear, and I hear from people who who
- 11:23Speaker 2: know things. That's been the case for many presidents in
- 11:27Speaker 2: my lifetime, with the major exception being Trump, and it's
- 11:32Speaker 2: one of the reasons that they hate him so much
- 11:34Speaker 2: that he just doesn't play by the rules. You call
- 11:37Speaker 2: it a conspiracy theory, you can call it whatever you
- 11:39Speaker 2: want to call it. But she takes somebody that's that's
- 11:43Speaker 2: on the rise and I think maybe they get to
- 11:46Speaker 2: a point where they realize, I'd like to maybe go
- 11:50Speaker 2: further with this. You know, she was a candidate for president, right,
- 11:55Speaker 2: and they realize this isn't going to work. I'm not
- 12:00Speaker 2: to be able to do what I thought I was
- 12:01Speaker 2: going to be able to do. Some people don't care.
- 12:04Speaker 2: They want the prestige, they want the money. They want
- 12:06Speaker 2: to be multi millionaires so they can come back and
- 12:09Speaker 2: speak at conventions and tell you how bad rich people are,
- 12:12Speaker 2: like the Obamas. So this Tulsi Gabbert doesn't seem to
- 12:20Speaker 2: be one of those people that's willing to play that game.
- 12:23Speaker 2: I don't know her personally. I haven't interviewed her yet.
- 12:26Speaker 2: I'd like to do that. But she left the party
- 12:30Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, said there were an elitist cabal
- 12:33Speaker 2: of warmongers. She's somebody by the way military background, so
- 12:39Speaker 2: as an independent, there were questions about whether or not
- 12:42Speaker 2: she could have been Trump's VP pick. A lot of
- 12:45Speaker 2: people wondered that whether that would happen. That would have
- 12:48Speaker 2: been certainly more earth shattering than going with Vance. I
- 12:53Speaker 2: think Vance has done great. Though Vance has spoken at
- 12:56Speaker 2: a number of events, he sounded great it certainly gives
- 13:00Speaker 2: off that vibe. He's intelligent, also military background, he's young,
- 13:05Speaker 2: he's all that. Of course, that makes him weird or
- 13:08Speaker 2: evil or the devil or hitler or whatever, all those
- 13:10Speaker 2: things that people get called just for being a conservative,
- 13:15Speaker 2: just for being a conservative, for being the party that
- 13:18Speaker 2: says people should be able to govern themselves, to be
- 13:21Speaker 2: able to police themselves, they should have as many freedoms
- 13:24Speaker 2: as possible that don't infringe on the rights of other people.
- 13:29Speaker 2: And then they say that being a fascist, which doesn't
- 13:32Speaker 2: believe in any of those things, is you know, associated
- 13:36Speaker 2: with extreme right views. Anyway. It's kind of funny, isn't it.
- 13:43Speaker 2: It's not even funny. You get to that point where
- 13:45Speaker 2: you can't use the word funny because it's not funny.
- 13:47Speaker 2: It's awful anyway. So now this is now the second
- 13:52Speaker 2: high profile Democrat, somebody who has spoken a lot in
- 13:58Speaker 2: the last four years about this president, about this White House,
- 14:03Speaker 2: about this vice president who's running for president, and she's
- 14:08Speaker 2: now given her endorsement for Donald Trump. I don't know
- 14:15Speaker 2: that it hurts how much it's gonna help. I mean,
- 14:18Speaker 2: some of these endorsements, certainly in the timing of it
- 14:22Speaker 2: but I feel like we have a certain amount of
- 14:24Speaker 2: people that are going to vote for Harris no matter what.
- 14:27Speaker 2: Doesn't matter. They don't care if she gives interviews, they
- 14:30Speaker 2: don't care. If they know what her policies are, they don't.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Nobody really knows. She's very good at changing her mind.
- 14:37Speaker 2: She spoke on Thursday and said that she was pro Israel,
- 14:43Speaker 2: but she was also pro Palestine. And the people that
- 14:48Speaker 2: are standing up to Israel I don't understand really how
- 14:51Speaker 2: this all works. How can you be both? And that's
- 14:54Speaker 2: the chameleon that is Kamala Harris, right. She's you know,
- 15:00Speaker 2: wants people to be able to come across the border
- 15:02Speaker 2: and get what they need and believes that they should
- 15:05Speaker 2: be wide open. Let's leave it wide open. But now
- 15:09Speaker 2: if I'm president, I'm going to fix the border. Fix it. Now,
- 15:13Speaker 2: do something about it. Now, let's fix it now. Somebody
- 15:19Speaker 2: who says, well, she didn't really give us a solution
- 15:22Speaker 2: for inflation, did she. She just says that she's going
- 15:24Speaker 2: to fix it. She described inflation. She's very good at
- 15:27Speaker 2: describing what the problem is. If someone says to her,
- 15:31Speaker 2: what is inflation, she'll you know, it's inflation, is the thing.
- 15:34Speaker 2: That it happens when things are more expensive, and it
- 15:38Speaker 2: affects our families, and it affects our budgets and our families,
- 15:43Speaker 2: and we need more income and it affects our families.
- 15:47Speaker 2: That's what she does. But she says she knows how
- 15:50Speaker 2: to fix it, and it's her super secret way that
- 15:53Speaker 2: she's going to fix it. And she's not going to
- 15:54Speaker 2: tell her current boss, Joe Biden, the President, She's not
- 15:59Speaker 2: going to tell anybody in the administration what our super
- 16:01Speaker 2: secret plan is. They're gonna save it for when she
- 16:04Speaker 2: gets worn in, and then she's gonna implement all these
- 16:07Speaker 2: plans to fix the border, to fix inflation, She's gonna
- 16:11Speaker 2: fix it all everything. Everything's magically going to get better
- 16:15Speaker 2: once she gets the actual job. Can you imagine if
- 16:21Speaker 2: you had the medicine to cure somebody like they're dying,
- 16:27Speaker 2: and you have the medicine in your hand and you
- 16:30Speaker 2: basically say, eh, they're gonna have to make me the
- 16:33Speaker 2: chief of medicine at this hospital before I'm gonna give
- 16:36Speaker 2: them that medicine. But you work here at the hospital.
- 16:40Speaker 2: I need to be chief of medicine before I can
- 16:42Speaker 2: fix it, Before I can cure these people before I
- 16:44Speaker 2: can I can make it all go away. I need
- 16:46Speaker 2: to be made chief of medicine. Otherwise I'm just gonna
- 16:50Speaker 2: have to die. I'm gonna have to suffer and die.
- 16:53Speaker 2: That's what's gonna have to happen. Sure we could fix
- 16:55Speaker 2: it right now. I've got it. I've got the syringe
- 16:57Speaker 2: with the medicine right now in my hand. We can
- 16:59Speaker 2: do this. Gonna need you to make me chief of Medicine.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Going to need you to do that. As soon as
- 17:05Speaker 2: you do it, I can take care of it. Might
- 17:07Speaker 2: not be able to do it immediately, but I'll be
- 17:09Speaker 2: able to do it very very soon after that. That's
- 17:12Speaker 2: what I'm going to be able to do. And let
- 17:14Speaker 2: me tell you. Let me describe what the illness is. See,
- 17:17Speaker 2: an illness is something that happens to the body, and
- 17:22Speaker 2: it's really bad. It's really bad. Today's show brought to

- 18:20Speaker 2: experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of
- 18:23Speaker 2: those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
- 18:26Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
- 18:29Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here

- 18:52Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
- 18:56Speaker 2: city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you
- 18:59Speaker 2: can do that as well. Upcoming astronomy night events. Also
- 19:02Speaker 2: on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin

- 19:19Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
- 19:22Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
- 19:28Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
- 19:32Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
- 19:36Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
- 19:39Speaker 2: squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you

- 19:47Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 19:50Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 19:53Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 19:55Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 19:59Speaker 2: door open and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
- 20:02Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes
- 20:06Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 20:09Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 20:12Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 20:15Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 20:18Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 20:21Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 20:23Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
- 20:26Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 20:28Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 20:30Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 20:33Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 20:36Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
- 20:39Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
- 20:42Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,

- 22:33Speaker 2: you're going to be flying, perhaps you're going to be flying. Well,
- 22:35Speaker 2: let's talk about complaints with the TSA. Travelers can typically
- 22:43Speaker 2: find things to complain about, but I guess the complaints
- 22:46Speaker 2: are really high, long lines, mishandled bags, agents being rude,
- 22:49Speaker 2: being rough with their belongings. TSA receives thousands of complaints
- 22:54Speaker 2: each month along typically I guess if you get an
- 22:58Speaker 2: airport it's especially busy over holiday, that's certainly going to
- 23:03Speaker 2: be a factor in all of it. But some do
- 23:06Speaker 2: get complaints about them more than others. Newark Liberty International
- 23:11Speaker 2: Airport in New Jersey receives more complaints about the TSA
- 23:15Speaker 2: than any other airport. I'll be honest, I like that airport.
- 23:18Speaker 2: When I fly in New York, That's where I go.
- 23:20Speaker 2: I like to go into the Newark Airport. But here
- 23:25Speaker 2: we go with the top ten list and we will
- 23:28Speaker 2: see if Atlanta makes the list together. Do you think
- 23:31Speaker 2: it's on there? Palm Beach International? Is it to Orlando International,
- 23:36Speaker 2: Southwest Florida International, Cleveland, Hopkins International, New York's John F.
- 23:42Speaker 2: Kennedy the JFK Airport, of course, Boston, Logan International, Tampa International,
- 23:48Speaker 2: Washington's Dulles International, and Laguardi Also in New York. So
- 23:52Speaker 2: how about that all of the New New York Airlines complaints.
- 23:56Speaker 2: But Atlanta didn't make the list, So there you go,
- 23:59Speaker 2: not in the top ten lists. We are unofficially ending
- 24:04Speaker 2: summer with Labor Day, you know, Memorial Day to Labor Day.
- 24:08Speaker 2: That's typically the unofficial window of summer. And this is
- 24:13Speaker 2: that time of year where not only are people getting
- 24:15Speaker 2: the kidney stones. I mean, I told you that at
- 24:19Speaker 2: the beginning of summer, and of course I ended up
- 24:21Speaker 2: gett kidney stones. I seem to be done with them though,
- 24:23Speaker 2: you know, hopefully that's it. The pain's not there anymore,
- 24:26Speaker 2: and that's all that matters. And if you're counting seven,
- 24:29Speaker 2: I got seven of them out that I know of.
- 24:33Speaker 2: But wasps, you know, you get those yellow jacket nests around.
- 24:37Speaker 2: Wasps are just everywhere. It's just that time of year
- 24:40Speaker 2: for I think the bees maybe they're doing their thing
- 24:43Speaker 2: in the beginning of spring, they're pollinating, and then you
- 24:46Speaker 2: get the all the wasps come out. Apparently there was
- 24:50Speaker 2: a British man who disturbed a wasp nest outside his
- 24:52Speaker 2: home got stung one hundred and sixty times and he
- 24:54Speaker 2: nearly died. And I guess he did many of the
- 24:58Speaker 2: things you shouldn't do when you have contact with wasps.
- 25:02Speaker 2: British's Pest Control Britons Britishes, the British Pest Control Association
- 25:08Speaker 2: gave these tips for avoiding wasp and I assume this
- 25:11Speaker 2: American wasps. This will apply to wasps only sting when
- 25:16Speaker 2: they're threatened, so don't threaten them. They emit a pheromone
- 25:19Speaker 2: when threatened and that signals other wasps to join in,
- 25:22Speaker 2: So that's why you don't threaten them. That's what I
- 25:24Speaker 2: tell my kids all the time. Leave them alone, probably
- 25:26Speaker 2: won't bother you. If a wasp does attack, try not
- 25:30Speaker 2: to wave your arms around or swat at it, because
- 25:32Speaker 2: that will cause it to defend itself. Don't jump into
- 25:36Speaker 2: a pool, don't go underwater to evade them, because they
- 25:39Speaker 2: will just wait for you to come back out of
- 25:41Speaker 2: the water. Wasps don't die after they sting. They can
- 25:44Speaker 2: continue stinging many more times. And if you are stung
- 25:48Speaker 2: and somehow they do leave behind the stinger, which they
- 25:52Speaker 2: typically don't do, you have to pull it out. Maybe
- 25:56Speaker 2: you're stung by something that does leave a stinger, how
- 25:58Speaker 2: about that? Then wash the air really well with soap
- 26:01Speaker 2: and water and be ready for your hand to swell
- 26:03Speaker 2: up a lot if it's on one of your fingers,
- 26:04Speaker 2: because that's what happened to me weeks ago when I
- 26:07Speaker 2: was stung by one. And I didn't even do anything,
- 26:11Speaker 2: not intentionally to agitate it, but apparently I did, all right.
- 26:15Speaker 2: And it sounds kind of crazy, But with more and
- 26:18Speaker 2: more people getting married later in life and bringing pets
- 26:21Speaker 2: into the relationships, pet prenups are becoming a thing. They
- 26:25Speaker 2: help decide who gets custody of the pet if things
- 26:27Speaker 2: go bad, who pays for the food and vet bills,
- 26:31Speaker 2: and even who makes medical decisions on the pet's behalf.
- 26:34Speaker 2: According to data from online prenup company Hello Prenup, two
- 26:39Speaker 2: thirds of their clients have a pet at the time
- 26:41Speaker 2: that they're writing the prenup, and of those, one third
- 26:44Speaker 2: include their pets in the prenup agreement. How about that.
- 26:50Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Tuesday edition of the show.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
