  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: your day and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Thursday morning, eleventh day of December. I'm Wes, thanks for
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: joining me. Two weeks to Christmas. I gave you the
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: two weeks to Christmas Eve warning yesterday. Now we're the
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: two weeks to Christmas warning. So that's where we're at
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: some point. I don't know, I'm going to keep reminding you.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Got to give you the heads up. I'm used to
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: working with Scott Miller for so many years, and Scott
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: needed those warnings. He didn't want to hear him, but
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: he needed to hear them because, you know, he had
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: to get his shopping done. He had to take care
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: of it. And Scott was always kind of a last
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: minute guy with that Christmas shopping. At least he pretended
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: to be. He pretended to be at the very least.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: So I don't know that was maybe just him in character, perhaps,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: but he sold it well. So two weeks to Christmas Day,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: A couple things I want to just remind you of.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: First of all, this weekend it's practically here. We have
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: a final night of rehearsals. Tonight first Night with the Orchestra.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: One of the things that makes the Nutcracker Ballet at
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the River Center in Columbus, Georgia, presented by the Columbus Ballet,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: is the fact that it is done with a live orchestra.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: There are not many ballet companies in the US that
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: are doing that. In fact, the people that I know
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: that are doing Nutcrackers throughout the country this holiday season,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know any of them that are doing a
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: show with a ballet, I mean with an orchestra, doing
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: their Nutcracker Ballet with an orchestra. And I was trying
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: to think of some of the ballet companies and that's
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: one of the word ballet popped out of my mouth.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: So they just start doing it with an orchestra. This
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: is not something that always happens, and it's infrequent, and
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: we are blessed to have that here at the River
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Center in Columbus, Georgia. So ballet tickets are certainly they
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: count as a Christmas gift. If you want to give
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: someone the gift of the arts, you can do that
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and support the arts at the same time. You want
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: to get your tickets from the River Center box office
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: through Rivercenter dot org, the Columbus Ballet dot org. Anywhere
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: else you run the risk of paying too much for
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: those tickets. They get marked up. It happens, So that's
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: where you want to get your tickets. And we have
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: a show tonight. Is gets a full full like dress rehearsal.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Except for me. I'm the only one who's not in
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: full dress rehearsal tonight because well, there's a couple of reasons.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I don't typically put all the makeup and stuff on
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: in the role of Mother Ginger, which it's a it's
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: sixty to ninety minutes for me to get fully ready
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: as Mother Ginger, just the makeup part. I don't have
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: to do hair and all that stuff because I have
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: a wig. But in that role it is a long
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and elaborate process for me to get made up and
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: ready to go, so I don't have to do that
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: for the dress rehearsal tonight. Now there will be the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: orchestra in the house tonight. They will be part of
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the rehearsal for tonight, working out any of the bugs
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: and things. And then tomorrow night we actually have a show.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: It is a military appreciation show. That show not open
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: to the general public. That happens on Saturday evening and
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Sunday matinee, so there's time for you to get your
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: tickets for those shows. The other reason that I am
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: not involved as far as getting the makeup for tonight,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: everybody else will be in makeup. I'm the one exception
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: is I will be tonight part of the hooting ceremony
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: for Columbus State University's graduation. I mentioned this the other day.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: It's one of the It's an honor to me to
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: be part of that, and I appreciate them letting me
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: be a part of it every year, every graduation. I've
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: been doing this now coming close to ten years and
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: being the voice of Columbus State University academics, and I
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: appreciate them for letting me be a part of that.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: And I'm just happy to be involved. And I've only
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: just been doing the hooting ceremonies now for a few years,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: and tonight is the hooting ceremony where you know, the
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: folks that are getting hooded will have their ceremony, and
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: then tomorrow we'll have the graduation ceremonies going on all
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: day on Friday. It used to be a Friday and
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: then a Saturday event. Now everything's done during the week,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: so it's Thursday, and then it's Friday all day, so
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I have a full forty eight hours ahead of me.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: That's just you know, not quite forty eight hours, but
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: you know, thirty six hours. I'm going to be really
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: busy for the next couple of days. It's just the
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: way things all lay out. I got a little bit
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: of calm at the moment before the storm today, but
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: it's Thursday, is a busy day anyway. I've got made
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: of stars today. Our space podcast I do with Doctor
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Sean Cruising wherever you get your podcasts. We do that
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: on Thursdays, and then hooting, ceremony, rehearsal, and then back up,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: back up, and at it for graduations all day tomorrow
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: and then a show and then I get a little
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: bit of a rest on Saturday before the show. But
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: it's a lot, man, it's jumping, and we got commitments
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: with the boys. We had something last night at church.

  Speaker 2: forty one percent when you use discount code WES. Okay,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: so a few things that we have to kind of
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: dive into just a little bit. And I talked the
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: other day about this this and just a couple of
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: days ago, I guess Erica Kirk was on Fox one
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: of their shows as one of the like a guest
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: on one of the Pan the five or one of
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: those shows. I think that's what it was. And one
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: of the things that got discussed on the show was
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: the conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk's death. She calls it evil.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I guess the people that are touting the conspiracy theories,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: some of them have even accused her of being in
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: on it, would probably say, well, of course, course, that's
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: what you would say if they're, you know, bringing up
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: conspiracy theories.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: The dangerous thing about conspiracy theories is that they come
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: from a place of so you're saying there's a chance, right,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: that's where they come from. That's the root of it.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: You can't prove a negative. It's all of those kinds
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: of things. You can't have a zero sum on something.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: There are people that you could put them in a
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: time machine, take them back to an event, and you
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: could show them like freeze frame and show them here's
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: this person, here's this person, here's the guy on the roof,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: here's where he was three days ago. All of that,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: they still wouldn't believe you. There's no amount of evidence
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: in the world that will convince them that their belief
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: is inaccurate. It's the flat earthers, it's the we never
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: landed on the moon. People, it's the moon is you know,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: made of air, it's a giant balloon. All of those things.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: These are all all things. And you know, some of
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: these things you can you can slide into and say, well,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: this is fun. You can go through some of the
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: you know, the Kennedy and Lincoln things and it's kind
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: of fun. I was a kid thing we did. But
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: then you grow up and you go, yeah, no, two
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: people got shot and killed. Once you start getting into
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: people's murders, it's a little different. And in this case,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: it just happened. This is like months old, and this
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: is there's family. I had someone who asked me if
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I was watching the Jeffrey Dahmer thing on Netflix, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: they're like, you're not watching that? And I was like, no,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I don't need to watch that. I remember when it happened,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I remember the news of it, and I don't need
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: to see a fictionalized account of people that were actually
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: murdered and then have family living right now and they
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: know that someone's profiting off of all of this. I mean,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I understand there's a human interest side of it, but
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: if you're making a fictional account of this and telling
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: a story and there's real people that were murdered. I
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: just don't know how appropriate that is. It doesn't feel
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: right to me. I can't say that I have flushed
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: this out fully because there's just different side. I understand
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: sides of it, and that's part of what I am
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: as a person is I try to see both sides
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: of things. But I'm not interested in that. I'm not
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: interested in getting into this world of conspiracies on Erica
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Kirk was in on it, and I know who some
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: of the people are that are pushing this, and it's
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: really horrible. But there are people right now that have
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: been in sort of the mainstream side of broadcasting and
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: they've kind of been pushed out to the bubble. Welcome,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: by the way, there's a lot of us out here
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: in the bubble, but they've been pushed out to the bubble,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: and their attempt at trying to stay relevant is to
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: be controversial. I think a lot of them want to
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: be Joe Rogan, and what they don't understand about Joe
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Rogan is Joe Rogan is someone who who he brings
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: these people on. He lets them talk about their ideas
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: and philosophies and theories and things, and then the next,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: next week, next show, or whatever, he moves on to
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: something else. He doesn't spend, you know, six months or
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: a year on you know, was the first lady of
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: France born with a penis? There's only so much of
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: that that you can really discuss. When the question becomes
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: and it's it's not much for me. The question becomes,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: who cares? Why? Why is this something that has been
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: so much of anyone's focus in time? What is the significance?
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: And maybe there is, Maybe there's some reason that that's important.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, but for some people
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: that's important. I told you very recently on a show
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: that you know, the focus maybe this Christmas could not
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: be on all of these things and we could focus
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: on more important things. But I've told you I don't
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: spend a lot of time in this world of conspiracy theory.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I understand there are conspiracy theories, especially when it came
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: to COVID and that election, and we went, wait a minute,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: this really feels off, doesn't it. And then we look
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: back on it and we go, yeah, okay, there was
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: some things that were really off, and I get it,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: but just lobbing darts and trying to figure out if
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: the Earth is flat and ignoring the evidence it says
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: otherwise is different, and ignoring the evidence it says otherwise
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: on this Charlie Kirk assassination. And I mentioned this because
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I was having a conversation with someone recently and they
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: were just saying that it's sad that Republicans still allow
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: some of these people, like the ones involved in this
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: stuff I'm talking about, like kind of under the tent.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: And I would argue that the left has a bigger
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: tent when it comes to this kind of thing. The
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: party has shifted so much to the left that I
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: feel like the tent is kind of there, and that's
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: the people that are, you know, closer to center, that
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: are the ones trying to figure out if they can
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: fit in the tent. And I understand that there are
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: these people that, yes, I would not They're not people
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: that I turn to for news, They're not people that
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: I turn to for information. But the idea that people
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: are going to be kicked out of a group or
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: we don't want you or your supporters or your vote
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: or whatever, that's really more of a thing on the left,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: like they own that that's their thing they're in this
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: world of you know, we don't consider you part of
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: us unless dot dot dot. And while I get that
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of varying opinions on the right,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: including some of these people, it's important to remember that
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: that's not the status quo. That's not what the Republican
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Party is all about. One of the main tenants of
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: the Republican Party is not, Hey, Charlie Kirk was assassinated
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: by someone in his own circle. That's not a main
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: tenant of the Republican Party. Right, free Palestine, men can
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: play women's sports, like, that's the main tenant of the left.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Canceling people is a main tenant of things on the left.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: That's more on the fascism wing. Like people like to
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: point fingers and said, I'm not calling them all fascists.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I'm just pointing out the fact that, you know, canceling
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: and shutting people down and going after them and attacking them,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Like now we're talking fascism, we're talking communism, like all
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: of these things. We're talking Chairman Mao, we're talking Stalin,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: We're talking about that. That's different. And you want to
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: sit there and point fingers and say, well, people on
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: the right because they let people have different ideas. See
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: that's different. Is it possible that there are people on
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: the right that have these ideas that the ideas themselves
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: may be putting a toe or a foot or a
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: cannonball into fascism? Okay, but it doesn't mean collectively the
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: right is behaving a certain way. But if most of
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: the people on the left are saying, at least the
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: more outspoken ones are saying, you have to cancel people
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: and shut them down and publicly humiliate them, that's not
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: a good thing. That is not a good thing at all.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: It is sad that this is a woman who has
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: been through this, witnessed what happened to her husband a
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: friend firsthand, and is having to hear Will there were
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: people wearing maroon. That means something. Some of the people
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: on his team were wearing maroon. That's a code for something.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: It's awful, sad that she's got to experience that, and
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: it's sad that that's still something that just won't go away.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: And again you get these people that are kind of
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: in the bubble, looking for relevance and looking for ways
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: to get eyes and ears on their content. Today's show

• 19:28
  Speaker 2: of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
• 19:30

• 19:34

• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: they're there you can always ask them questions about some
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair work.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: of insulation issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: looking at a situation where you'd like to add a
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: screen door to your garage door system that you can
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: put down and you can use your garage space as
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: like to work on your own cars in there, or
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd like
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: to be able to open the door up and not
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: invite all the insects in. They can do that for
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help. And they do
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six thtory five eight forty

• 21:57
  Speaker 2: right after the break Well, there's a number of things
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: that constitute distracted driving. Texting, of course, is among the
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: top things. Texting or talking on the phone, eating, putting
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: on makeup. There's a number of things that happen in
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: the car that would constitute distracted driving. I know that
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: the ones that we most concern ourselves with are obviously
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: if you live in a state where you can't hold
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: a phone, can't text. I mean, that's bad even if
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: you're allowed to do it. But well, apparently there's a
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: new survey that found some Christmas songs can take a
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: driver's attention from the road. Researchers at Poles oh if
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: it's supposed to be pulse with a Z on the
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: end of it, but it's Polls looked at one hundred
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: of the most popular holiday songs to see which ones
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: might mess with your driving. They ranked tracks by tempo, loudness,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: and danceability, and the results well. Dean Martin's Let It
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Snow takes the top spot, followed by Bing Crosbie's Little
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Drummer Boy, Dasha's Is It dash Er? Dasha's Driving Home
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: for Christmas wins for danceability and loudness, rounding out the
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: top five. Bing Crosbi's do you hear what I hear?
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: East seventeen's Stay Another Day? So if you are singing
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: along to one of those songs, you might be a
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: little distracted while you're driving. It's interesting. I don't typically
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: think of Christmas songs as distracting me from driving, But
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: that doesn't seem like top of mind, but I guess
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: it does make sense. A new survey found that most
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: people really want to leave this year behind them, and
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: they're looking for the change ahead. They're looking forward to
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: the new year. Just ten percent called twenty twenty five
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: a great year, with most describing it as just okay.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Twenty percent said twenty twenty five was bad. Ten percent
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: went further, calling the year awful. Despite that, nearly half
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: of those surveyed believe twenty twenty six will be their year.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: It's probably why I thirty eight percent want to shake
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: things up by committing new goals into their plans for
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: the year. Millennials were most likely to make resolutions, Boomers
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: least likely. Men were more likely than women to set
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: goals and feel motivated to hit them. On average, people
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: expect about expect to make about six resolutions a year,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: saving money and exercising Tide for the first spot on
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: the list. Other picks physical health. Of course, it's always
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: a big one. Eating better, always one, boosting financial wellness,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: spending more time outdoors, focusing on mental health. Now when
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: it says improving physical health, I'm assuming that now that
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: can also mean, you know, one of those injections. I mean,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: it's what it's ultimately about, is shedding the pounds and
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: giving you some better. It's just different. It's just different.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: So there was a time when I would see someone
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: who had lost a lot of weight and you go, hey,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: a nice job, whatever you're doing, keep it up. And
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: then now it's you know, it may not be that
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: they've really done anything but go to their doctor. It's
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: not that that's not a commitment. You've made a decision
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: to do that. I'm not knocking anyone for doing it.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: I know people who have done it. But it's just
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: different than someone who is grinding it out, you know,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: so that counting every calorie and grinding it out. I've
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: been there. If you want to really feel festive this
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: holiday season, the place to be, apparently is Buffalo, New York,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: snagging the title of the most Christmas y city in America.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Buffalo boasts up to eight hundred holiday events, a European
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: style Christmas market, a quirky Tom and Jerry trail, there's
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: boozy eggnog involved with more than twenty five inches of
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: December snow, and fifty three percent chance of a white Christmas.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Buffalo is basically a Christmas movie come to life. Didn't
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: they do a Hallmark one? I know they did one
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: for the chiefs. I think they did one for the
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: bills as well, you know, the Buffalo bills. So they
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: say a bonus hotel rates hover under one hundred and
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: seventy dollars around Christmas time, so you can splurge on
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: holiday chair without breaking the bank. Runners up include Aspen, Colorado,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Park City, Utah, and New York City. A new survey
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: by Bank of America found that nearly eighty percent of
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: pet owners said that they would be buying their pets
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: treats and toys for the holidays. Young adults even more
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: likely to lavish gifts on their pets. In fact, the
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: survey found that twenty percent of gen zers said they'd
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: be spending more on their furry friends than on their
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: human ones. That seems fair, That seems reasonable to me.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Thursday edition of the show.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
