0:01
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.
0:08
Speaker 2: Morning Show Wednesday morning, at twelfth day February, I'm Wes.
0:14
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining me officially now fifty years old. Officially.
0:23
Speaker 2: It was nice. It's nice when your birthday is kind
0:25
Speaker 2: of late in the day and people are telling you
0:28
Speaker 2: happy birthday, and a lot of texts, a lot of calls,
0:32
Speaker 2: a lot of messages, a lot of dms. Just a
0:37
Speaker 2: lot of folks reached out and I appreciate that very much,
0:41
Speaker 2: many of them folks that listen to the show, and
0:44
Speaker 2: I appreciate every single one of you. I try to
0:47
Speaker 2: reply to everyone who wishes me a happy birthday. I
0:51
Speaker 2: got some in person. That's all nice. And when you
0:55
Speaker 2: have people tell you all day, happy birthday, and again
0:59
Speaker 2: everyone is for every single one of those was appreciated.
1:03
Speaker 2: Then it was nice for most of the day to say, well,
1:07
Speaker 2: technically I'm still in my forties. And then you hit
1:12
Speaker 2: that point where finally your actual birth time, your birth
1:17
Speaker 2: minute rolls around and you are on now I'm fifty.
1:20
Speaker 2: But for most of the day yesterday I could say,
1:23
Speaker 2: you know, at least I'm clinging to this last hours
1:28
Speaker 2: or minutes or whatever it was of being in my forties.
1:32
Speaker 2: And you know, really it was like Democrats trying to
1:35
Speaker 2: hold onto all the money that Elon Musk was taken
1:38
Speaker 2: away from him, just hanging on for dear life, trying
1:41
Speaker 2: not to let go of it. But eventually it gets
1:45
Speaker 2: away from you. Has in both cases, it just gets there.
1:50
Speaker 2: Time keeps on ticking. That's what happens, and there's nothing
1:53
Speaker 2: you can do. As Chris Berman used to say, tic
1:56
Speaker 2: tic tick tic tick. So here we go as we
1:59
Speaker 2: enter into this fifty first year of life for me
2:03
Speaker 2: and start making my way towards No, I'm not gonna
2:07
Speaker 2: say the next decade. I'm just gonna say making my
2:10
Speaker 2: way towards fifty one next year. That's all I'm saying.
2:13
Speaker 2: But I do appreciate every single one of you who
2:16
Speaker 2: reached out. It was very nice, and it's all you
2:20
Speaker 2: just you're overwhelmed and you're like, I don't deserve all
2:22
Speaker 2: the attention. That's just that's that's my baseline for it
2:27
Speaker 2: is I don't. But I appreciate that anyone who has
2:31
Speaker 2: reached out, anyone who feels that I've made there's some
2:36
Speaker 2: impact enough in their life that they've reached out to me.
2:38
Speaker 2: That's incredibly flattering. And I can tell you have for
2:42
Speaker 2: me as well. In most of those cases, there were
2:45
Speaker 2: a few people that I got messages from that I
2:48
Speaker 2: don't know very well. Maybe that changes in my fifties.
2:52
Speaker 2: I don't know. But for many of you, very nice
2:55
Speaker 2: messages and it means a lot. So let's see, we
2:59
Speaker 2: got stuff to cover as we power our way this
3:04
Speaker 2: week closer to Valentine's Day and of course side Ho Day.
3:10
Speaker 2: It's a big holiday on Saturday the fifteenth, but Valentine's
3:14
Speaker 2: Day and for many in the area. We have a
3:19
Speaker 2: Muscogee County Schools, at least where we do the show
3:23
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, Muscogi County School District has a teacher's
3:28
Speaker 2: planning day on Friday. There was some confusion at at
3:33
Speaker 2: least some schools. I don't know how many, but somewhere
3:36
Speaker 2: the kids got a message that's and parents even got
3:39
Speaker 2: a message that said that it was a virtual day.
3:44
Speaker 2: It is not a virtual day on Friday. It's just
3:47
Speaker 2: a teacher planning day or a teacher work day, whatever
3:49
Speaker 2: they call it. Kids are out of school, they have
3:51
Speaker 2: the day off, causing some chaos for the kids that
3:56
Speaker 2: want to have you know, Valentine's Day on Friday, and Monday,
4:00
Speaker 2: of course is the President's Day holiday, so it's a
4:02
Speaker 2: four day weekend coming up, and we're working our way
4:05
Speaker 2: just a little bit closer to that. You're running out
4:07
Speaker 2: of time if you don't already have whatever worked out
4:11
Speaker 2: for your Valentine, if you don't have your plans, you
4:14
Speaker 2: don't have a reservation, whatever it is, if you don't
4:17
Speaker 2: have that sorted out, you're running out of time. I'm
4:20
Speaker 2: just reminding you of that very thing. So a few
4:25
Speaker 2: things I want to address here because we have this
4:30
Speaker 2: period that we're now moving into in the country where
4:35
Speaker 2: we saw some of this with the super Bowl over
4:38
Speaker 2: the weekend, we saw people celebrating the president of the
4:42
Speaker 2: United States. Again, this wasn't one of those things where
4:46
Speaker 2: they show and not that Biden would have gone as
4:49
Speaker 2: president to an event like this, but remember one of
4:54
Speaker 2: the reasons he wouldn't have gone to an event like
4:56
Speaker 2: the super Bowl. No president had prior to Trump. But
5:01
Speaker 2: you know, Biden's name would get brought up at you know,
5:05
Speaker 2: NASCAR events. You know, let's go Brandon. Remember that chant
5:10
Speaker 2: where people were clearly not saying let's go Brandon, but
5:14
Speaker 2: the folks that were covering the race were trying to
5:16
Speaker 2: cover for the swearing that was happening on TV. It
5:21
Speaker 2: was specifically a word that starts with an F and
5:27
Speaker 2: then Joe Biden and that became let's go Brandon. Somehow
5:32
Speaker 2: you got to cover for it. I've had live radio
5:35
Speaker 2: moments before where I had to cover for things that
5:37
Speaker 2: people said, inappropriate comments that you can't say on a
5:43
Speaker 2: live hot mic, and you have to cover. I mean,
5:47
Speaker 2: you can run away as much as you want to
5:50
Speaker 2: make sure the person can't say it twice, but sometimes
5:54
Speaker 2: you have to give some explanation for why they said
5:56
Speaker 2: whatever they said. And I think for me in this,
6:02
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say what the person said, uh,
6:05
Speaker 2: but what I basically did to cover it was how
6:11
Speaker 2: did that cat even get in here? You know, That's
6:13
Speaker 2: what you have to say sometimes, and it covered it,
6:18
Speaker 2: I think nicely, and we moved on. No no, no
6:21
Speaker 2: FCC fines or anything. You had to use your imagination.
6:27
Speaker 2: How did that cat get in here? And why is
6:28
Speaker 2: it so cold? I think was what I said anyway,
6:32
Speaker 2: and I was nothing more than interviewing someone who decided
6:37
Speaker 2: to make a crude comment. That's all it was anyway.
6:40
Speaker 2: So we're at this period now where a president can
6:44
Speaker 2: go to a super Bowl and be cheered, and this
6:46
Speaker 2: president is one that has been shot, one that said
6:50
Speaker 2: multiple attempts on his life, one that has you know,
6:54
Speaker 2: still has people that would love to be able to
6:56
Speaker 2: get near him, to do harm to him. And most
6:59
Speaker 2: of the country is saying we approve of the job
7:02
Speaker 2: he's doing. His approval numbers have gone up, or they've
7:05
Speaker 2: been positive, or he's had more positive days so far
7:10
Speaker 2: in this term, in the first three weeks than he
7:13
Speaker 2: did the entire time he was president before. I think
7:17
Speaker 2: that's a testimony to where the country's going. We saw
7:19
Speaker 2: him get cheered at the Super Bowl. We saw the
7:22
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift, who kind of in a way represents a
7:27
Speaker 2: lot of you know, we've got the celebrity endorsement that
7:30
Speaker 2: I think it was a boo for a number of reasons.
7:33
Speaker 2: I don't want to say that it's specifically about the
7:36
Speaker 2: celebrity endorsement, but it kind of was symbolic of how
7:40
Speaker 2: little people actually care about what celebrities think about politicians
7:45
Speaker 2: and when you've got someone like Taylor Swift telling you
7:47
Speaker 2: who to vote for, and people were like, Nope, I
7:50
Speaker 2: don't think so. And it's just a very different world
7:55
Speaker 2: for the Hollywood elite, the music elite. Really on both sides.
8:01
Speaker 2: Both sides could stand to just stop, and I realize
8:04
Speaker 2: as a huge imbalance in one direction. So people often
8:07
Speaker 2: will say, hey, good, we've got the folks on the
8:10
Speaker 2: right speaking up. Finally, I think it's nice if they're
8:13
Speaker 2: comfortable with doing it, and I think it's great that
8:15
Speaker 2: they can do it now without immediately being ostracized and
8:19
Speaker 2: run out of Hollywood and all those sorts of things.
8:22
Speaker 2: I wish that some of the people who had to
8:24
Speaker 2: suffer through that could get their old jobs back. I
8:28
Speaker 2: wish that they could have an opportunity to go back
8:32
Speaker 2: to work. They probably don't want to work for those companies,
8:35
Speaker 2: and that's just also a reality in all of it.
8:39
Speaker 2: So we have this change that's taken place, and we
8:42
Speaker 2: have folks still on the left that refuse to accept
8:46
Speaker 2: that this is happening. They don't want to accept that
8:50
Speaker 2: they don't have the pull that they think that they
8:53
Speaker 2: still have. Some of them. I think maybe you're starting
8:56
Speaker 2: to realize it, but I don't know large majority of them,
9:01
Speaker 2: I think, still don't believe that that's the case. That
9:04
Speaker 2: they still think that they are. What they have to
9:07
Speaker 2: say about it still matters, and we still have a
9:10
Speaker 2: lot in the media, We still have a lot in
9:12
Speaker 2: the press who just have not been able to pull
9:16
Speaker 2: away from this thinking, this very old and now outdated
9:21
Speaker 2: thinking of my thoughts are important. I need to express
9:25
Speaker 2: what I think about this. I need to express my
9:29
Speaker 2: opinions and try to do my job in influencing how
9:32
Speaker 2: people think. And people just aren't going for it. There's
9:35
Speaker 2: just no I don't think people have patience for it anymore,
9:41
Speaker 2: and they don't want to hear it. And I think
9:42
Speaker 2: that they've tuned out to many of the news outlets
9:45
Speaker 2: that are still doing it, And many of the news
9:48
Speaker 2: outlets that still try to do it have either maybe
9:52
Speaker 2: made a slight pivot to try to include a little
9:54
Speaker 2: bit of some opinions on the right or some sort
9:58
Speaker 2: of positive stories on the right right, but many of
10:01
Speaker 2: them just don't don't even have staff anymore. They're just
10:04
Speaker 2: not people that are there anymore because people just they
10:07
Speaker 2: just don't care anymore. I think that's part about part
10:10
Speaker 2: of it because they don't care what they think. But
10:13
Speaker 2: there's still the attempt, at least by folks on the
10:16
Speaker 2: left to try to keep putting this narrative out there
10:23
Speaker 2: that tells people what they're supposed to think and how
10:26
Speaker 2: they're supposed to act. And we've gone through this period
10:31
Speaker 2: of you know, they've been trying to I guess, force
10:36
Speaker 2: certain terms in, they want to put labels in. We've
10:39
Speaker 2: talked about the use of this person is a Nazi
10:42
Speaker 2: and that person is, you know, a fascist, and all
10:45
Speaker 2: those sorts of things. And we've seen a president in
10:48
Speaker 2: this first weeks of this second term doing everything he
10:54
Speaker 2: can to shrink the size of the federal government to
10:58
Speaker 2: save money by cutting out expenses, cutting out unnecessarily silly expenses,
11:06
Speaker 2: whether it's Disney plus accounts that are being paid for
11:09
Speaker 2: by tax money, whether it is you know, money that's
11:13
Speaker 2: going to I don't know, foundations that aren't really using
11:16
Speaker 2: the money for what they say that they're going to
11:17
Speaker 2: be using it for, or ridiculous things where money's being
11:21
Speaker 2: as if those aren't ridiculous, money being sent overseas for
11:25
Speaker 2: absurd programs Sesame Street in Iraq, or condoms going to
11:29
Speaker 2: you know, the Gaza strip or whatever. Things that just
11:33
Speaker 2: don't or iran things that don't make any sense that
11:37
Speaker 2: you just can't process. Why, you know, someone's paying to
11:40
Speaker 2: find out if a hummingbird, you know, can be aroused
11:47
Speaker 2: by the mating sound of an you know, all these
11:50
Speaker 2: crazy things that we just think, why would anyone spend
11:55
Speaker 2: money on it, much less spend our money on it.
11:58
Speaker 2: And this is what I struggle with, is the number
12:00
Speaker 2: of people that are really trying to dig in and say, well,
12:03
Speaker 2: wait a minute, they should be able to spend that money.
12:07
Speaker 2: It's their money, and it's not. This isn't the federal
12:10
Speaker 2: government doesn't have money. I don't know why people don't
12:13
Speaker 2: understand that we have money. They get it from us
12:18
Speaker 2: to use for things that should be beneficial to the country,
12:24
Speaker 2: primarily our defense, to protect our country, starting with our borders,
12:31
Speaker 2: protecting us from each other at times, that's what it
12:33
Speaker 2: should be for. And yes, there are some other programs
12:37
Speaker 2: that have become necessary for us to function as a country.
12:40
Speaker 2: So yeah, the necessary things we need. And right now
12:45
Speaker 2: people using a mouthpiece that is certain branches of media
12:49
Speaker 2: or certain social media. It's amazing how we have I
12:56
Speaker 2: saw posts. A wick has been shut down, women infants, children,
13:00
Speaker 2: Social Security has been shut down, The whole SNAP program
13:04
Speaker 2: has been shut down. These things are being spread around
13:07
Speaker 2: as if they're true, and they're not. Where is the
13:11
Speaker 2: fact checking we have fact checking? Remember we had fact
13:13
Speaker 2: checking when people said, hey, this COVID vaccine may not
13:17
Speaker 2: be great for everybody to take. It may cause problems,
13:21
Speaker 2: and people would say, a fact check, this is not true.
13:24
Speaker 2: This vaccine is great. You should just suck it down
13:27
Speaker 2: like Coca cola. What a great vaccine it is. This
13:31
Speaker 2: is the best. People aren't fact checking these things. They're
13:36
Speaker 2: just spreading lies and it's just being spread around about
13:38
Speaker 2: what and we have to go through and discern what's
13:41
Speaker 2: true what's not true. Remember when go back to the
13:45
Speaker 2: Clinton presidency when Newt Gingrich was Speaker of the House
13:49
Speaker 2: and they worked well together and they were able to
13:52
Speaker 2: cut a lot of things. Gingrich really was cutting things
13:55
Speaker 2: in the budget back then. And one of the issues
13:58
Speaker 2: back then, back in the day, was why was the
14:01
Speaker 2: taxpayer paying funding for some of the you know, not
14:05
Speaker 2: arguing against a public broadcast, you know funding, but against
14:12
Speaker 2: companies or against some of the I guess subcompanies that
14:16
Speaker 2: work with with PBS like Sesame Street, remember that, And
14:20
Speaker 2: he was asking, hey, if they make so much money
14:22
Speaker 2: on Ticklemomo's, why are we paying for them to be
14:25
Speaker 2: on TV. They should be able to, you know, stand
14:28
Speaker 2: on their own two feet. Sesame Street should be a
14:31
Speaker 2: fully self funded entity. And people said, ah, Newt Gingrich
14:36
Speaker 2: is trying to shut down Sesame Street. Well, that's not
14:40
Speaker 2: what he's doing. That's not what he was doing at all.
14:42
Speaker 2: He was just saying, hey, Sesame Street ought to be
14:45
Speaker 2: able to stand on their own two feet. Why are
14:47
Speaker 2: they making such a huge profit off of this thing
14:51
Speaker 2: that we're basically propping up. And those are the kind
14:54
Speaker 2: of questions that are coming up now, and once again,
14:57
Speaker 2: with the use of a complicit media, this is being
15:01
Speaker 2: spread around. So as you know, doze just looking into
15:05
Speaker 2: all these programs Department of Education, they say, ah, Trump
15:08
Speaker 2: wants to shut down the Department of Education, and they
15:11
Speaker 2: wonder why education is suffering so much. Okay, so let's
15:15
Speaker 2: go back. Education has been suffering under a Department of
15:18
Speaker 2: Education partly because of you know, COVID panic and kids
15:23
Speaker 2: not being able to go to school, and people are
15:25
Speaker 2: in a panic mode. They wanted to keep the kids
15:27
Speaker 2: at home. Some people still have their kids at home
15:30
Speaker 2: post COVID by their own choice, but when the government
15:34
Speaker 2: is telling you they have to stay at home. And
15:37
Speaker 2: that was part of why we've had reading and math
15:40
Speaker 2: numbers go down and why we're falling behind. And then
15:44
Speaker 2: some social things that kicked in with all that are
15:47
Speaker 2: relating to education. So the Department of Education is nowhere
15:51
Speaker 2: in the constitution. You're not going to find any reference
15:53
Speaker 2: to that. That's not something that's there. That's something that's
15:56
Speaker 2: started not really that long ago, and this president is
16:01
Speaker 2: saying it's time to wind it down. This is something
16:04
Speaker 2: that could be done at the state level as per
16:07
Speaker 2: the constitution. Much like what happened with Roe v. Wade.
16:12
Speaker 2: You start asking the questions of why has this become
16:15
Speaker 2: some sort of federal decision when it should be handled
16:18
Speaker 2: at the state level, and questions being asked about why
16:21
Speaker 2: we need a Department of Education spending so much money
16:25
Speaker 2: on Disney plus accounts and whatever else, And ultimately the
16:29
Speaker 2: question is maybe it shouldn't be. They're not wanting to
16:33
Speaker 2: shut down schools, they want to shut down a Department
16:36
Speaker 2: of Education that doesn't seem to be doing anything. And
16:39
Speaker 2: the people that are upset about it are falling into
16:42
Speaker 2: the well, we're just going to spread this word around
16:45
Speaker 2: and say they're trying to shut down schools. They like to,
16:48
Speaker 2: of course, attack the people behind the scenes. They want
16:52
Speaker 2: to talk about Elon Musk being a Nazi, they want
16:55
Speaker 2: to talk about Elon Musk being a fascist in all
16:58
Speaker 2: these things because they're attacking the person who's getting things done.
17:02
Speaker 2: And now those looking at other department's Department of Education,
17:06
Speaker 2: Department of Defense and trying to find ways to save
17:10
Speaker 2: people money. It's your money, use it when you need it.
17:15
Speaker 2: Isn't that the slogan. It should be coming back to you.
17:19
Speaker 2: It should be your money and it should go towards
17:21
Speaker 2: things that are benefiting you. If it's your money and
17:27
Speaker 2: the country in general, that's what it should be used for,
17:33
Speaker 2: and not wasteful things. And the people that are getting
17:35
Speaker 2: the kickbacks and they want to see their kickbacks continue,
17:39
Speaker 2: that's where you should be concerned. You should be zeroed
17:42
Speaker 2: in on that. But now as the media does, they're
17:46
Speaker 2: playing this game, they're throwing around all these terms like
17:49
Speaker 2: constitutional craw We're going to have a constitutional crisis. This
17:52
Speaker 2: is going to be awful. We got the oligarchy. We
17:56
Speaker 2: got all these, but this constitutional crisis, this is the
18:00
Speaker 2: new one. This is the word they're throwing around, and
18:02
Speaker 2: they want everybody to know we have some serious problems.
18:07
Speaker 2: They're trying to create a dynamic where they can try
18:10
Speaker 2: to wrestle some kind of control and power away from
18:13
Speaker 2: Trump and wrestle it away from Republicans because they feel like,
18:19
Speaker 2: and this is a ternam it pops up. Republicans did
18:21
Speaker 2: the same thing not too long ago, and they say,
18:23
Speaker 2: we got to get to this. It's constitutional crisis. We're
18:25
Speaker 2: going to have to do this. They want to push
18:27
Speaker 2: that narrative. They've pushed narratives over and over and over
18:31
Speaker 2: again over the years, especially here recently, and this is
18:36
Speaker 2: what they're going for now. They want to try to
18:38
Speaker 2: because if they can get some control back, that means
18:40
Speaker 2: they can get back to money. It's all about power
18:44
Speaker 2: for the sake of money. They say, follow the dollar,
18:47
Speaker 2: follow the green, follow the money whatever, Follow the cabbage,
18:51
Speaker 2: the lettuce, the bread, whatever you want to call it,
18:55
Speaker 2: You follow that. That's where you're going to find the
18:59
Speaker 2: people that are upset, and you're going to understand why
19:02
Speaker 2: they're upset when they're screaming at a security guard outside
19:05
Speaker 2: the Department of Education building and telling him, tell us
19:09
Speaker 2: your name. Maxine Waters wanted to know that guy's name
19:13
Speaker 2: because he wanted everybody to have the guy's name so
19:16
Speaker 2: that they could start doxing him and tell everybody where
19:18
Speaker 2: to go to get him. Right. That's the only reason
19:21
Speaker 2: to keep asking him his name over and over again.
19:24
Speaker 2: As a member of Congress. I'm a member of Congress.
19:28
Speaker 2: Don't you know who I am? A member of Congress,
19:32
Speaker 2: public servant. You work for the American people. We're not
19:35
Speaker 2: supposed to bow down to you. That's not what we're
19:37
Speaker 2: here for. You're not the Queen of America. You should
19:42
Speaker 2: go back to your office and do some work. What
19:44
Speaker 2: are you doing. Why are you harassing this poor security
19:46
Speaker 2: guard who's standing outside and just doing his job. Go
19:50
Speaker 2: do your job. But I digress. We are in a
19:54
Speaker 2: position now where we're going to hear this term constitutional crisis.
19:58
Speaker 2: They're going to say it over and over again, and
20:01
Speaker 2: much like the Nazi stuff, they feel like if they
20:03
Speaker 2: say it enough, it's gonna get into the to the ether.
20:06
Speaker 2: You're gonna have people that you know that are gonna
20:08
Speaker 2: start saying it and repeating it around, and that's when
20:11
Speaker 2: you're gonna know they're starting to get some kind of
20:13
Speaker 2: traction with it. Today's show brought to you by Columbus

Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
22:27
Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you. And while
22:29
Speaker 2: they're there you can always ask them questions about some
22:32
Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
22:34
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
22:38
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
22:40
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
22:43
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
22:47
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
22:50
Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got with colder or
22:53
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
22:57
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
22:59
Speaker 2: add add a screen door to your garage door system
23:03
Speaker 2: that you can put down and you can use your
23:04
Speaker 2: garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
23:09
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
23:11
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
23:14
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
23:15
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
23:18
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
23:21
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
23:24
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
23:27
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, And they do
23:30
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty

23:41
Speaker 2: right after the break with more and more people losing
23:53
Speaker 2: weight using weight loss drugs like ozimpic, and it's basically means,
23:59
Speaker 2: of course, more money for plastic surgeons because as patients
24:03
Speaker 2: are coming in for treatments to deal with ozimpic face
24:07
Speaker 2: that's the sagging skin and gaunt appearance caused by rapid
24:12
Speaker 2: sudden weight loss. According to a report done by the
24:14
Speaker 2: American Academy of Facial, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, cosmetic surgeons
24:19
Speaker 2: saw a fifty percent rise in facial fat transfers, basically
24:24
Speaker 2: taking fat from another part of the body and injecting
24:26
Speaker 2: it into the face to make it appear fuller. Non
24:30
Speaker 2: surgical options like fillers are also gaining in popularity as
24:34
Speaker 2: a way to address ozimpic face. In a time where people,
24:40
Speaker 2: you know, moan, I don't want to use the full expression,
24:45
Speaker 2: but you know, they do things, and then they moan
24:48
Speaker 2: about the vaccines and saying we have enough testing on
24:53
Speaker 2: these vaccines to be comfortable taking them. A lot of
24:55
Speaker 2: people aren't getting the flu shots this year. Apparently a
25:00
Speaker 2: number of people not getting their kids flu shots this year,
25:03
Speaker 2: and we got flucases up. I know they're saying it's
25:05
Speaker 2: a different, stronger strand of it, and all these sorts
25:07
Speaker 2: of things and people's resistances down. But as we had
25:10
Speaker 2: this panic about injecting things in the body, how much
25:14
Speaker 2: how much have we are? Did anybody have any concerns
25:19
Speaker 2: about just diving into this ozempic we go vy phase
25:23
Speaker 2: of taking these things. I'm just curious about. I mean,
25:27
Speaker 2: I feel like I would have some concerns about it,
25:29
Speaker 2: but it's obviously just working for people, and I know
25:32
Speaker 2: it's intended initially to be a medicine for people with diabetes,
25:37
Speaker 2: but I don't know. I just wonder how many people
25:39
Speaker 2: had hesitations with that. But many companies starting to ask
25:43
Speaker 2: employees to return to the office, and a lot of
25:48
Speaker 2: those workers just would rather stay home. According to a
25:51
Speaker 2: study by researchers at Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, and
25:54
Speaker 2: the University of Illinois at Urbana Champagne, forty percent of
25:59
Speaker 2: workers said they take a five percent pay cut if
26:01
Speaker 2: they could keep working remotely. Nearly ten percent said they'd
26:05
Speaker 2: be willing to lose twenty percent of their salary if
26:08
Speaker 2: they could work from home. I get this. Nobody really likes,
26:14
Speaker 2: especially if it's a long commute. You know, some people
26:20
Speaker 2: got just hassles getting to and from work. I know
26:25
Speaker 2: people who live in much larger cities than where I live,
26:28
Speaker 2: and they would absolutely take a twenty percent cut just
26:31
Speaker 2: to get that bit of their day back, just to
26:34
Speaker 2: get some little bit of their day back in the
26:38
Speaker 2: midst of you know, all of the craziness that is,
26:41
Speaker 2: you're just doing your job, but you've got to get
26:44
Speaker 2: there and you've got to get home, or there's commuting
26:46
Speaker 2: fees involved, or having to deal with heavy traffic. Yeah,
26:50
Speaker 2: I can see that. That's not a surprise to me.
26:53
Speaker 2: Twenty percent of your sun now depends on your salary,
26:55
Speaker 2: of course, And of course there's also people who say
26:58
Speaker 2: these things, and when they actually came along to take
27:01
Speaker 2: your salary, they might say, who whoa, WHOA. I didn't
27:03
Speaker 2: really mean that, but I could believe it. I could
27:06
Speaker 2: find it to be believable. Forget that we're almost to
27:10
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day. Forget dating apps. They say the best way
27:13
Speaker 2: to find a love interest may be at the airport.
27:16
Speaker 2: According to a survey done by Dating Advice with thousands
27:21
Speaker 2: of people passing through everyday. Airports could be the perfect
27:24
Speaker 2: spot for making love connections, and it seems some airports
27:28
Speaker 2: are better than others for starting a romance, particularly those
27:32
Speaker 2: in warmer weather locations where passengers are a little bit
27:35
Speaker 2: more laid back and maybe they have a vacation vibe
27:38
Speaker 2: going on. According to the single survey best Airports for
27:42
Speaker 2: Finding Love, Palm Beach International and West Palm Beach, Orlando International,
27:47
Speaker 2: Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood International, Tampa International, and O'Hare. All of
27:53
Speaker 2: these are similar. One of these is not like the others.
27:56
Speaker 2: I don't really get the Chicago one, but you know,
27:58
Speaker 2: it is what it is. And finally, if you're dry
28:01
Speaker 2: January turned into a wet February, then you're probably not
28:05
Speaker 2: a member of gen Z. When it comes to alcohol,
28:08
Speaker 2: damp drinking and zebra striping, or more popular with younger adults,
28:12
Speaker 2: damp drinking reduces alcohol intake, while zebra striping is alternating
28:16
Speaker 2: a cocktail with a non alcoholic beverage like water or
28:20
Speaker 2: a soft drink push behind the moderation. In addition to
28:25
Speaker 2: better health, gen Z is finding that overindulging it can
28:28
Speaker 2: hinder their goals. It can it does and good for them.
28:33
Speaker 2: I think that's great. And I think something like both
28:40
Speaker 2: of those things would be beneficial reducing the alcohol and
28:44
Speaker 2: the I like this idea. What was the other one
28:46
Speaker 2: called zebra striping. That's good. You're rotating, you know, you're
28:51
Speaker 2: remembering to get some water in you. You're probably not
28:54
Speaker 2: going to have that headache later and all that fun stuff.
28:56
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to deal with that. All right, that'll do
28:59
Speaker 2: it for this Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks to
