  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, eighth day of November. I'm Wes. Thanks for
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: joining me. We roll into a holiday weekend as Monday,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: we take some time to honor and thank our veterans.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: A lot of people get all those holidays mixed up,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: whether it's Memorial Day or Veterans Day. This is our
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Independence Day, this one's it's Veterans Day. This is a
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: great opportunity to think a veteran, acknowledge a veteran. Sure
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: you can remember a veteran, there's no rule against that.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: And I also think it's probably nice. I like to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: when I see the veterans out and they're wearing their hat,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: and we've talked about this before. They're wearing their hat
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: and it has you know, maybe where they served. It
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: may say desert storm on it, it may say which branch,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: may have some awards or things acknowledgments on their hat.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: And I say this, and this is just my philosophy
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: on it. I know not everybody takes time to acknowledge
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: those veterans. I try to in that circumstance, especially because
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: this is my thinking behind it, and just hear me
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: out on this. They got up that morning and got
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: ready to go out and face their day, and they
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: decided at some point to put on that hat. Okay,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: they're wearing it for a reason. They're not wearing it
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: because you know, it's the John Deere hat in the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: back of their truck or whatever behind the seat and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: they reached back and pulled it out and put it
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: on their head because their hair was messy. No, they're
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: not putting on their favorite sports team hat because they
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: got a game that weekend, or maybe they're going to
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: be going to the game later that day. That's not
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: what they're doing. They're putting on that hat because they're
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: proud of what they've accomplished, and they're proud and they're
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: thinking about as they put it on. Maybe they're thinking
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: about people they served with, maybe even someone that they lost.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: So I think, because I know they've taken a moment
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: to think about the hat that they've put on, I think,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: to me, to the least I can do is to
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: take a minute and say thank you for their service. So,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: my folks that listen to the show that are serving
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: or have served. Thank you, God bless you, and to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the families of veterans as well. And that's another step
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: that I try to do with this is I think
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: it's appropriate on Veterans' Day to acknowledge them they serve
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: in a different way, especially if you've had to go
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: overseas to serve without your family. They have to have
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: that question mark of sometimes where are they, what are
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: they doing? When will we hear from them again? In
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: many cases, you've got a parent that's trying to raise
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: kids without the other parent there all of those so
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: or you know, maybe it's as simple as hey, you've
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: got a kid who's now serving and you're going through
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: some of those challenges and things. So all of you
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: deserves some acknowledgment on Veterans Day. And I'll be taking
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: the day off on Monday, with a showback on Tuesday.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: There's a few things I'd love to dive into when
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: it comes to the election, before I jump into our
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: strange and bizarre news from around the world, because that's
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: what we do on Fridays. But before I do the
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: strange and bizarre news, and I'm not going to really
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: go heavy into the politics, I just I just want
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to take a minute just to say a couple of things.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: And I have noticed that we're back in that position
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: with social media where it's just it's nasty. You know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: it happens. I want to remind you that, you know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: post election, you can always do the unfollowed for thirty days.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: That's an option that might help things cool down a
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: little bit if there's people that because I don't think
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: we should be losing friendships and loved ones and things
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: over their politics or their frustrations with how elections turned out,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: or their excitement of how elections turned out. When you
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: have an election like the one that we just had,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: with so much disinformation, so many lies, then it's difficult
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: for people at this point to not still be carrying
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: some of those lies around with them. They bought into
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: a narrative that was told to them by one of
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the candidates, and they're worried and they're scared. I can't
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: comprehend the need to get on social media and vent
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: all of that at this point. You would have been
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: better served doing it a week ago. The election's over now,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump is going to be the president in January.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: That's going to happen if you really believe the narrative
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that all of the horrible things that Harris and Biden
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: as candidates said was going to come with him being
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the president. Let me just remind you of this little
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: little fact. Okay, they've both called him to congratulate him.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: They've both promised, you know, an easy transition of power.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Biden did this yesterday, you know, from the White House
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and said, you know, we explaining this is what's supposed
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: to happen. We're going to have a peaceful transition of power.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: If Biden believed that Trump was Hitler two point zero,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I don't believe in any way he would have done that.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: If you believed that Hitler Stalin Mussolini fascist narrative and
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: that all women's rights are going to be taken away
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: from him. If you truly believe that, and you're Kamala Harris,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: why are you congratulating him? Why are you promising a
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: peaceful transition of power? Same goes for Joe Biden. The
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: answer to that question is that they knew that those
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: were all lies. They knew that it was just part
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: of the game. It's part of the dance. And if
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you don't believe that they knew that. Let me remind
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: you when Kamala Harris was running for the Democratic nomination
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty against Joe Biden, and they had a
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: debate and she called him racist and sexist, talked about him,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: you know, with school segregation, all of those things. And
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: then she became his VP pick and was asked about
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: what she said during the debate, and she said, ah,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: it was a debate. You just say things. You say
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: things at a debate. She was saying what she needed
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: to say to try to win. And that's what she
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: just did with this campaign. She said what she needed
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: to say to try to win. She tried to scare
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: you into believing he was so bad that you would
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: turn out and you would vote for her. She didn't
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: believe it. Biden didn't believe it. They just said what
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: they were told to say. It's all prompter probably for
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: both of them. They both needed it. Someone told him
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: to say it, and they decided, well, this is what
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say, and this is where we are.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: So just keep that in mind. You don't have to
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: freak out. It's not the end of the world. Everything
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: is going to be okay. Are some of the policies
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: that start to happen in January going to be concerning
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: for you with your politics. That's possible, certainly, Is it
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: going to be Hitler two point zero? No, we do
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: have something to reference for that the four years that
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: he was in office, because he didn't do all those things.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: That's not what he did when he was in office.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: So you can just take a breath. Everything's going to
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: be okay. Everything is going to be okay. I'm sure
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: it's not what you want, but it's going to be
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: all right. And at the very least, we can at
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: least hope that we can get back to twenty nineteen.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: You know, with the economy, may not mean prices go
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: back to twenty nineteen prices. That's going to be tough
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: to accomplish. But once the energy change happens, once we
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: start to get the flowing of fuel, that's gonna help
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: with prices. That's going to be a big step getting
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the economy on track. And you maybe have a little
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: extra coin in your pocket each month. Look forward to that,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Look forward to maybe the future for our kids not
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: being in some part by an open border. Just look
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: at the positives and if we get out of war
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: situations and World War three doesn't happen and there's no
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: nuclear bombs flying around, be excited about that. This is
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: their best bet at getting out of that situation. So
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: that's the cards that were played. Doesn't mean everybody who
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: voted for Trump wanted it to be Trump, but they
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: looked at it and went, hey, you know what, maybe
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: we're not going to have World War III. How about
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: we go for that so it'll be okay. And you
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: know what, you don't have to share your thoughts on
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: social media. People aren't sitting there waiting to see them.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I promise you that there may be one or two,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: not many. Most people aren't sitting there just hanging on
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the edge of their seat for your thoughts on how
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: the election went. I get it, you're frustrated, but it's
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the hard cold reality. You don't have to share everything
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: that goes through your mind. Sometimes it's good to just
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: kind of process it internally. But I know social media
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: is convinced us that that's what we're supposed to do.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: All right, strange and bizarre news. I don't have a
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: whole lot of time, so let's get to some of these.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Let's start in Nebraska, stretch of Interstate eighty in Nebraska
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: was shut down after a semi truck overturned and spilled
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: energy drinks all over the road. Police and Omaha investigating
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the cause of the crash. With a road littered with
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: boxes of Sea four energy drinks, traffic was snarled for
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: a long time while cleanup crews worked to remove the
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: truck and the energy drinks. Unclear whether the driver of
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: the truck was hurt based on the printing of the story,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: so here's two hundred milligrams of caffeine and C four,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: So clean up crews maybe could have at least licked
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: it off the road, probably cleaned things up a little
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: bit faster, you know. Let's go to New York LaGuardia
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Airport right, a lot of vast improvements over the years
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: to become one of the best mid sized airport hots
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: across the country and still occasionally reminds travelers of how
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: things used to be. Case in point, travelers checking into
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Spirit Airlines on Monday were shot when a raccoon suddenly
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: fell through the ceiling and dangled from a cord before
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: falling to the floor. The animal then ran through the terminal,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: setting off alarms, causing chaos as travelers and employees scrambled
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: to get away from it. The chaotic scene was captured
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: on video and shared on x A port authority representative
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: says the raccoon was eventually captured and released back outside
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the airport. You know, I would think there could be
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: some problems if you get rabies while you're traveling and
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: you're trying to do an international flight. I think that
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: might not be a good thing if you're, you know,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: really traveling anywhere, but especially on an international flight. A
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Norwegian man with a weight problem was a perfect candidate
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: for ozempic until he discovered that no weight loss drug
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: could help his problem. Fifty nine year old Thomas Krout
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: had steadily gained weight over the last twelve years and
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: was diagnosed with obesity. He was prescribed ozempic, but it
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: was having the opposite effect and his belly continued to grow.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: It wasn't until his doctors took a closer look at
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: him and noticed that he didn't have a weight problem.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: It's a tumor problem, a sixty pound tumor to be exact.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Doctors spent ten hours operating on Krout to remove the
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: enormous growth from his abdomen. The surgery was successful, but
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the tumor did call some other problems to his body,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: including damage to his small intestine and kidney, and that
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: needed to also be removed. He filed a lawsuit against
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: the doctors for their failure to identify the tumor. Over years,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: hikes if someone is possessing illegal narcotics, she would think
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: the last thing they want to do is something as
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: bizarre to draw attention to themselves well. A couple in Jacksonville, Florida,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: was arrested for possessing methamphetamine after or police saw them
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: removing patio umbrellas from a sandwich shop. Police arrived at
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: the scenes saw the couple had taken down the umbrellas
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: but hadn't removed them and didn't cause any damage, but
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: officers were perplexed by the strange behavior and suspected that
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: there could maybe be some drugs involved. Turns out they
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: were right. Joseph Seymour and Trina Christian were charged with
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: possession of methamphetamine in possession of drug paraphernalia. A Connecticut
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: man might a Connecticut man better light a fire under
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: his lawyer to get to work immediately on getting him
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: out of trouble after he recklessly ignited a brush fire
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: in his backyard. Extreme dry conditions in Connecticut have led
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: to a burn ban in the state, which went into
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: effect we could go Saturday. Despite that, the fifty seven
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: year old Brian Connolly decided on Sunday to light up
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: a backyard fire pit. After multiple failed attempts to get
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Lyddy decided he needed to run to the store and
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: buy more matches, and apparently something had started burning because
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: while he was at the store, the fire pit suddenly
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: ignited and grew, and then it spread. By the time
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Conley returned home, the fire department had arrived, the fire
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: had burned e the entire backyard. Also melted a fifty
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: foot section of vinyl fence and destroyed a neighbor's lawn
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: and shrubbery. Connelly was arrested and released on a ten
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars bond. Yikes, odds of beating bitten by a
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: shark in the US are about one and eleven point
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: five million. You have a better chance of being struck
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: by lightning. Odds of being bitten by a shark twice
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: in your lifetime, well, that's so slim it's nearly impossible
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: to put a number on it. But that doesn't make
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Coal Tashman feel any better. The veteran surfer was catching
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: some waves in Stuart, Florida, last week, and he was
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: bitten on the leg by an eight foot shark. He
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: required two surgeries and ninety three stitches. It just so happens.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: At eleven years ago, at the very same beach, surfing
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: the same waves, Cole was bitten by shark for the
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: first time and that required twelve stitches on his hand.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Cole said the most recent bite was from a much
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: larger shark than the first incident. I would think that
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: you're kind of playing the odds since it hasn't happened,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: and you're thinking, well, it's not going to happen again,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: surely right. Hundreds of people flooded into the streets of Dublin,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Ireland on Halloween for a parade that never happened because
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: it was never actually supposed to happen. The crowd that
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: showed up, as it turned out, was the victim of
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: an AI generated hoax. The parade was advertised on a
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Pakistan based website and appeared to be legitimate, with fake
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: reviews and real photos from past events. It claimed to
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: be organized by an Irish performance group called the Macnas,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: which has put on these parades in the past but
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: had not organized one for this year. Information on the
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: fake parade spread on social media. When people showed up
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: in Dublin City Center, there was no parade, no police,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: no signs of anything that had been organized. Police eventually
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: did show up, but that was to disperse the crowd.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: That AI. Man, you gotta be careful with that AI
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: because if it can just make a parade happen out
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: of nowhere, you know it can bring about the end
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: of the world. Today's show brought to you by Columbus
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: that really of all ages. I mean, they do it
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: for school age kids as school age kids visit the
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: right now and you can learn more about maybe getting
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. As you get outside somewhere
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: outside the city lights, you don't want any light interference,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: events also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Sean Cruisin says, Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of your
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid. You'd
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: the break. Well, it's never too early to start thinking
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: about Christmas gifts for people in your life, even if
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: it's just your favorite podcast host. The folks at Reeses
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: have a new product. It's called the Reese's Deconstructed Peanut
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Butter Cup Kit, and Hershey's has launched it. The kit
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: includes a large nine ounce chocolate shell and a ten
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: ounce jar of Reese's peanut butter, and then you decide
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: how much peanut butter filling you want inside the cup.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: The kit costs twenty two to ninety nine and is
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: available on the hershey Store website, while supplies last. Of course,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: the answer to that question is all of the peanut butter.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, what else are you gonna do with it?
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, I guess you could eat a spoonful of
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: it if you want, But if you put me in
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: charge of it, I don't know. Maybe I need a
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: few of these things so I can really decide what
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: the correct amount of peanut butter inside the cup would be.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: There is something special in the air at Lake Como,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: and now visitors at the Italian tourist destination can take
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: their special air home. Souvenir shops have been selling Lake
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Como air in a can. Sound like spaceballs to me.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Each can promises to contain thirteen point five ounces of
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: pure air from the most beautiful lake in the world.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: It costs about eleven dollars. The product's website says it's
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: perfect for those who wish to rediscover that peace and
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: elegance of this heavenly corner sealed in a ten and
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: encourages people to open it whenever they need a moment
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: of escape, tranquility, or simply beauty. Sounds like spaceballs to me.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: If only this product were available back in the eighties,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: they wouldn't have needed to go and take their air.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Everywhere you go, you're likely to see kids with their
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: eyes glued to a smartphone or iPad. What you won't
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: see typically or noses in a book. There's some kids
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: that do. A reason. Survey by the National Literacy Trust
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: has found that children's reading habits are at an all
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: time low. The survey collected responses for more than seventy
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: six thousand children between the ages of five and eighteen,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: and found that only about one third of them said
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: they enjoy reading a book. It's the lowest level of
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: reading enjoyment since the survey began back in two thousand
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: and five. Jonathan Douglas, the chief executive of the National
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Literacy Trust, said that the findings are deeply concerning and
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: worries that a declining interest in reading could jeopardize the
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: future success of the young generation. I mean, one of
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: the reasons these tablets came along was so you could
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: read on them and not have to have, you know,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: the paper cup. These are the books. Now. I know
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: most of the kids probably aren't using it that way.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: I know that mine, at least one of mine, still
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: likes to read some comics that he likes on his
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I think he's probably watching a YouTube video and
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: know he's reading a beat Big Nate comics. So hosting
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving is a big undertaking and it's not always that rewarding. There.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: I told you yesterday there was a person who posted
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: on I guess Reddit them I the a hole chat
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: about telling a loved one not to bring any food. Well,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: here's another one, as folks go to Reddit to vent
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: their frustrations about how they've been stuck hosting Thanksgiving every year.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: According to the original poster, not only have they been
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: hosting up to twenty people in their home the last
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: five years, but the family shows up typically empty handed,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: with no cooking, cleaning, no contributions. When the users seeested
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: someone else's host or split catering costs, that's when all
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: chaos broke loose. I guess it's just something to keep
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: in mind. At least make the offer. Not everybody you
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: know wants to do it and pay for it, it
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: would be nice, or at least chip in and help
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: clean up. I mean, that's something that you can do
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: at the very least. I just want to put that
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: on your radar. With a few weeks to go before
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving cookies. They're tasty. Doesn't really matter the shape really,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: But there is a social media trend that's catching on
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: where people are making something called cookie fries. Does having
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: them in this shape of fries make them better? I
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: don't know. Long thin strips of cookies like french fries,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: cookie fries. It involves buying a store bought cookie dough.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Well that's what you would get store bought cookie dough.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: If you buy it, you roll it out flat and
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: then you slice them into thin fry shaped strip and
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: then you bake them into they're crisp. Fans of cookie
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: fries like them because they're easier to dip in a
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: glass of milk and anything else you'd like to dip
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: them into, maybe peanut butter from the folks at reeses
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: from Hershey's. And finally, the next time you slide some
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: chicken nuggets into the air fryer or turn on your
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: smart TV, be careful what you say, because that device
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: might be smarter than you think. Researchers with a British
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: consumer magazine have identified four devices, it says, that are
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: probably spying on you and possibly sending your information to China.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: They focused on smart devices, including I guess a smart
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: air fryer. We don't have one of those. We got
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: one of those old dumb air fryers, smart speakers, the
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: air frier. The dumb air fryer is used and appreciated
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: and it was a gift thanks Brandon and Gent smart speakers, TVs,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: and smart watches. They scored each device across six categories
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: and consent transparency, data security, data minimization, trackers, and data deletion.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: The report says, our research shows how smart tech manufacturers
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: and firms they work with are currently able to collect
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: data from consumers seemingly with reckless abandon and this is
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: often done with little or no transparency. Samsung smart TVs
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: receive the lowest privacy score of the devices that were studied.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Other low scoring devices including the Google Nest Mini and
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: some of the smart watches. The Corrosi. You know, Kasoori
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: air fryar, I guess is one of the smart ones.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: We don't have the Kasoori. We don't have that one.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Friday edition of the show.
• 26:45
