Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the Wes
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carroll Morning Show.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Thursday morning, 15th day of October. I'm Wes. Thanks for
- 0:14Speaker 2: joining me. Midway through October means we're working our way
- 0:19Speaker 2: towards the third Burr month. And then, of course, the
- 0:23Speaker 2: fourth Burr month is the one that has Christmas in it. And,
- 0:27Speaker 2: you know, you can't really have Christmas anymore without without
- 0:32Speaker 2: experiencing the Nutcracker Ballet presented by the Columbus Ballet. And,
- 0:41Speaker 2: you know, I talked a little bit about this when
- 0:43Speaker 2: they were getting ready for the auditions. Well, we're now
- 0:47Speaker 2: about to enter into rehearsal phase. And yes, it's your
- 0:51Speaker 2: latest chance to check out the holiday tradition that is
- 0:56Speaker 2: the Nutcracker Ballet. taking place at the River Center right
- 1:00Speaker 2: here in beautiful Columbus, Georgia. I should say the beautiful
- 1:02Speaker 2: River Center right here in Columbus, Georgia. No offense to Columbus,
- 1:06Speaker 2: it's my hometown, but the River Center is just a
- 1:09Speaker 2: fantastic facility, and we are very blessed to not only
- 1:13Speaker 2: get to do the Nutcracker inside the River Center, but
- 1:16Speaker 2: also with a live orchestra. There are not many ballet
- 1:23Speaker 2: companies that are doing the Nutcracker with live music. And
- 1:29Speaker 2: also the Voices of the Valley doing vocals as well.
- 1:33Speaker 2: And when we have sometimes the guest performers that come
- 1:37Speaker 2: in from elsewhere to be part of the show, they
- 1:40Speaker 2: will tell us, wait, you have an orchestra. Yes. Wait,
- 1:44Speaker 2: you have actual singers here. Yes, we do. all of
- 1:50Speaker 2: that is just part of the experience. And being able
- 1:53Speaker 2: to do all of this inside the River Center just
- 1:55Speaker 2: makes it all much more of an experience, much more
- 2:00Speaker 2: of just a festive. You come in and they've got
- 2:04Speaker 2: those gingerbread houses decorating the lobby when you come in.
- 2:08Speaker 2: That's also part of the tradition. It's not really part
- 2:10Speaker 2: of the Nutcracker tradition, but it's part of the River
- 2:12Speaker 2: Center's tradition for the holidays. And you just come in,
- 2:16Speaker 2: and you experience the Nutcracker, and then you never know
- 2:20Speaker 2: who's going to make their way out into the lobby
- 2:22Speaker 2: after the show. And I have it on good authority
- 2:26Speaker 2: that my very good friend, the Mother Ginger, will be
- 2:30Speaker 2: in the show again this year, as always. I've lost count.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Is this number eight, I think, for me? I think
- 2:38Speaker 2: this is my eighth time in the role, if I'm
- 2:41Speaker 2: doing my math correctly. Yeah, I think this is number eight.
- 2:45Speaker 2: And they're all kind of their own unique experience. You know,
- 2:50Speaker 2: each one is something new and special every time. And
- 2:56Speaker 2: your chance to see me back on stilts on stage
- 3:01Speaker 2: December 12th and 13th for the Nutcracker. The Columbus Ballet's
- 3:05Speaker 2: Nutcracker tickets are now on sale. You can get them
- 3:09Speaker 2: at the River Center box office. You can get them
- 3:11Speaker 2: from the River Center's website, rivercenter.org. And then I say
- 3:18Speaker 2: the because the Columbus Ballet is the other place you
- 3:20Speaker 2: can get the tickets, the link to the River Center, thecolumbusballet.org.
- 3:25Speaker 2: And those are the places you want to get your tickets.
- 3:27Speaker 2: You don't want to try to get them anywhere else
- 3:29Speaker 2: if you just go online and Google, hey, tickets for
- 3:32Speaker 2: the Nutcracker. What happens is, for some reason, and this
- 3:36Speaker 2: is just the world we live in these days, once
- 3:38Speaker 2: upon a time, you couldn't scalp tickets. You couldn't buy
- 3:41Speaker 2: tickets and then sell them for a larger price. And
- 3:45Speaker 2: then now that's just big business. There's companies that do
- 3:48Speaker 2: it all the time. There's people that do this for
- 3:51Speaker 2: shows like The Nutcracker. People tell me like, oh my gosh,
- 3:54Speaker 2: I almost paid $ 250 a ticket. This isn't that show.
- 3:57Speaker 2: This isn't a $ 250 ticket. You don't have to do that,
- 4:03Speaker 2: not at all. You can find much more affordable tickets
- 4:07Speaker 2: waiting for you if you go through those three places
- 4:10Speaker 2: I mentioned. Go to the River Center box office, go
- 4:12Speaker 2: to the River Center's website, or go to thecolumbusballet.org. You
- 4:18Speaker 2: can get the tickets from any of those places for
- 4:20Speaker 2: either of the two shows. There's a 7.30 p.m. show
- 4:23Speaker 2: on the 12th and a 2.30 matinee on the 13th.
- 4:30Speaker 2: With a show, if your kids are talking about, hey,
- 4:32Speaker 2: our teacher said we're going to go to the ballet
- 4:35Speaker 2: and see the Nutcracker, that will be a Friday morning show,
- 4:40Speaker 2: I believe. Before those shows, it's not open to the public,
- 4:44Speaker 2: but your kids may get an opportunity, I guess, for that.
- 4:47Speaker 2: And then there's a special Friday evening show that you'll
- 4:50Speaker 2: know if you're invited to. You know, you'll know. You'll
- 4:55Speaker 2: know if you're coming to that or not. The two
- 4:58Speaker 2: that are strictly open to the public, though, 12th and 13th, 7.30 p.m.
- 5:03Speaker 2: on the 12th, 2.30 p.m. on the 13th. So please
- 5:08Speaker 2: come join us for the Nutcracker. I believe this is
- 5:11Speaker 2: the 30th show. I believe that's what we're up to.
- 5:15Speaker 2: This is not my 30th. This is number eight for me.
- 5:18Speaker 2: But we hope to see you there. And always exciting.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Soon I'm going to go in. I haven't actually put
- 5:24Speaker 2: the stilts on yet this year. I need to do that.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Got to get my sea legs back going. But, yes,
- 5:31Speaker 2: get your tickets for the Nutcracker Ballet coming up this December. Okay.
- 5:38Speaker 2: A couple things to talk about. First of all, those
- 5:41Speaker 2: of you who reached out about my neck and everything yesterday,
- 5:45Speaker 2: thank you. I really appreciate hearing from all of you.
- 5:48Speaker 2: That was nice. Recovery is going a little better. than
- 5:53Speaker 2: it was yesterday. It started to feel really good by
- 5:57Speaker 2: about mid-morning yesterday. It's just a little sore in the
- 6:00Speaker 2: morning when I wake up. I think yesterday I had
- 6:03Speaker 2: a little bit of rasp in my voice still because
- 6:06Speaker 2: I had to put oxygen. They do that and you
- 6:10Speaker 2: have to do all that stuff and sometimes that can
- 6:12Speaker 2: kind of dry you out whenever. For a little while
- 6:15Speaker 2: it can do that. At least it does that with me.
- 6:17Speaker 2: So that's part of why I was a little concerned
- 6:21Speaker 2: about how I sounded yesterday and didn't know how much
- 6:24Speaker 2: energy I was going to be able to have to
- 6:25Speaker 2: do the show, but I think it turned out all right.
- 6:27Speaker 2: I think so. A few things I want to talk
- 6:31Speaker 2: about today. First of all, and I didn't address this
- 6:33Speaker 2: yesterday because I get caught up in talking so much
- 6:35Speaker 2: about everything with my surgery, or not surgery, it was
- 6:40Speaker 2: a procedure. It's kind of a surgery. There's a surgeon involved,
- 6:43Speaker 2: but it wasn't really a surgery. But the Pope, With cancer,
- 6:49Speaker 2: of course, that was a huge story. And that story
- 6:54Speaker 2: was that the surgery went well. And obviously, that's a
- 7:00Speaker 2: huge worldwide story. And I was not trying to in
- 7:05Speaker 2: any way be insensitive on glossing over that. It was
- 7:07Speaker 2: just kind of one of those things, like after I
- 7:09Speaker 2: did the show yesterday, I spent some time actually watching
- 7:14Speaker 2: part of the Mass that was being done for him,
- 7:17Speaker 2: and I thought, oh gosh, I should have talked about,
- 7:19Speaker 2: I should have addressed this at least to some degree.
- 7:23Speaker 2: But of course, our prayers there for the Pope. A
- 7:27Speaker 2: couple other stories we got a little bit of updates on.
- 7:30Speaker 2: And this is, again, one of those fluid stories, but
- 7:35Speaker 2: the Ilhan Omar Um, investigation continues on, I guess the feds, uh,
- 7:42Speaker 2: took her cell phone and, uh, it's, uh, immigration fraud claims,
- 7:48Speaker 2: I guess, as part of this. Uh, and I, you know,
- 7:51Speaker 2: I mentioned the whole thing when I brought this up
- 7:54Speaker 2: the other day about the fact that she's, uh, you know,
- 7:57Speaker 2: now coming out and saying that this is, um, a,
- 8:02Speaker 2: a president using the DOJ to go after one of
- 8:05Speaker 2: his enemies and how despicable that is. I had completely
- 8:08Speaker 2: forgotten about the fact that she, in referencing, I guess,
- 8:14Speaker 2: the investigation that was done to him, and there was
- 8:17Speaker 2: some talk about possibly investigating her, and she said she
- 8:20Speaker 2: encouraged it. She said, I'm not above the law. They
- 8:23Speaker 2: should investigate me. I've done nothing wrong. So that's a
- 8:27Speaker 2: different tone when you're weeks away from the midterm election day.
- 8:33Speaker 2: That's changed a little bit, right? And apparently there's some
- 8:39Speaker 2: questions about her birth date that was changed on her
- 8:43Speaker 2: immigration paperwork and all these things. So again, we're going
- 8:46Speaker 2: to see where all of this goes. Is there something
- 8:51Speaker 2: to it? I don't know. It seems to be there's
- 8:55Speaker 2: something going on there. But I think if nothing else,
- 8:59Speaker 2: it's just nice when these kind of accusations come up.
- 9:05Speaker 2: And then like somebody actually does something about it. You know, there's,
- 9:11Speaker 2: cause typically just nothing ever happens. It just kind of like, Hey,
- 9:15Speaker 2: did you know, uh, this person may have been involved
- 9:18Speaker 2: in this and you go, that's awful. They should really
- 9:20Speaker 2: go get them. And then nothing happens. So, um, so
- 9:25Speaker 2: there's that, uh, another story, a follow-up from, uh, yesterday
- 9:29Speaker 2: talked a little bit about the Gavin Newsom, uh, what
- 9:32Speaker 2: he thought was a big mic drop for him. Again,
- 9:36Speaker 2: I guess it was a couple of weeks ago he
- 9:38Speaker 2: actually signed in the legislation in California, which would require
- 9:43Speaker 2: companies prior to 1965 that had any ties or connections
- 9:46Speaker 2: at all to slavery back in the 1800s. And he
- 9:49Speaker 2: wanted those companies to, up until 2029, connections at all
- 9:51Speaker 2: to slavery back in the 1800s. And he wanted those
- 9:55Speaker 2: companies to, saying that in the next, up until 2029,
- 10:00Speaker 2: they're going to have to release information that ties them
- 10:04Speaker 2: to slavery and some of their financial records and things
- 10:09Speaker 2: with all of that. It's just something for someone who's
- 10:13Speaker 2: trying to do a little flex prior to probably, almost
- 10:18Speaker 2: certainly running for president, although he says, you know, he
- 10:22Speaker 2: wouldn't run if Kamala Harris decides that she wants to
- 10:26Speaker 2: run out of respect to her. My theory on that
- 10:29Speaker 2: was that he already knew she wasn't going to run. Now,
- 10:32Speaker 2: she hasn't announced that yet, but it certainly seems like
- 10:35Speaker 2: that's where all this is heading, and he's just trying
- 10:37Speaker 2: to kiss up to voters. Another kiss up to those
- 10:40Speaker 2: voters with this chattel slavery thing that he's trying to Uh, say,
- 10:46Speaker 2: look at what I'm doing. Uh, but he had a
- 10:48Speaker 2: little bit of a egg on his face yesterday as
- 10:51Speaker 2: we've now had the ninth circuit court say, uh, Hey,
- 10:56Speaker 2: remember when, uh, Gavin Newsom said that he did not
- 11:01Speaker 2: want these secret police, uh, officers and ice and people
- 11:07Speaker 2: wearing masks in his state carrying out federal law and
- 11:11Speaker 2: that he was going to pass this law and say,
- 11:15Speaker 2: that they had to take the no vigilantes act identification
- 11:21Speaker 2: requirement would say that it would violate the constitution supremacy law.
- 11:26Speaker 2: So basically saying that if a federal agent comes into
- 11:30Speaker 2: the state of California and they have a no vigilantes policy,
- 11:35Speaker 2: if you come in wearing a mask, you're a vigilante.
- 11:38Speaker 2: And therefore you can't wear a mask when you come
- 11:41Speaker 2: in to carry out a any sort of law enforcement,
- 11:45Speaker 2: federal law enforcement in the state of California. The problem,
- 11:50Speaker 2: of course, with all of this is they're not vigilantes
- 11:54Speaker 2: and that they are actually, you know, federal law enforcement.
- 11:58Speaker 2: And the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals says, no, no, no,
- 12:03Speaker 2: Trump administration is certain to succeed in its lawsuit against California,
- 12:08Speaker 2: basically saying that it does not, in fact... override the Constitution. So, oops. Now,
- 12:20Speaker 2: I know this is probably just a move that was
- 12:22Speaker 2: taken by Newsom, again, as kind of a kiss-up to
- 12:28Speaker 2: people that were saying, boy, ICE is bad, we hate them,
- 12:33Speaker 2: they're the Gestapo, they're the Nazi secret police, all these things.
- 12:38Speaker 2: They're Trump's personal... as our own US Hitler, his own
- 12:44Speaker 2: personal Gestapo and all these things. And, you know, no,
- 12:48Speaker 2: they're just don't want their personal identification blasted out to
- 12:53Speaker 2: the world and their home addresses. They don't want to
- 12:55Speaker 2: be doxxed and they don't want people showing up at
- 12:58Speaker 2: their houses. People would never do such things except that
- 13:01Speaker 2: they do. And, you know, people constantly making threats to them,
- 13:06Speaker 2: right to their faces and things. So, People still don't
- 13:10Speaker 2: understand the danger that you put yourself in when you're
- 13:16Speaker 2: being threatened all the time. Just as a member of
- 13:21Speaker 2: a duly elected president's Department of Justice, you're going out
- 13:29Speaker 2: and you're executing these federal crimes as ICE agents and
- 13:36Speaker 2: you're doing your work and you're looking for Rapists and
- 13:40Speaker 2: murderers and, you know, people that have been human trafficking,
- 13:45Speaker 2: people who've been accused of that or even convicted of that,
- 13:49Speaker 2: in some cases, other countries, and then they come into
- 13:52Speaker 2: the U.S. illegally. And, you know, we constantly are hearing
- 13:58Speaker 2: this messaging about the number of people that were deported
- 14:02Speaker 2: during the Obama administration and his strict stance on deporting people.
- 14:07Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden it becomes this shock
- 14:09Speaker 2: horror thing that we're doing with the Trump administration because
- 14:15Speaker 2: so many people were just allowed to walk across the border.
- 14:19Speaker 2: And sometimes these stories come back. Sometimes we get the, hey,
- 14:25Speaker 2: you're going to have to take off your mask to
- 14:27Speaker 2: carry out your responsibilities as a federal agent in my state.
- 14:32Speaker 2: And you go, no, no, you don't have to do that.
- 14:35Speaker 2: You don't have to take the mask off at all.
- 14:39Speaker 2: One more thing, and we're coming in on obviously Election Day.
- 14:44Speaker 2: We've got a governor's race in Georgia that they say
- 14:47Speaker 2: is closer than I think it is. I just don't
- 14:50Speaker 2: know that it is as close as they say it is.
- 14:53Speaker 2: I know that both sides like to say how close
- 14:56Speaker 2: it is because they don't want people to not show
- 14:59Speaker 2: up and vote. I heard someone talking about if it
- 15:04Speaker 2: ain't– I heard two people– uh, yesterday that we're having
- 15:08Speaker 2: a conversation, uh, where they were just, they were just
- 15:11Speaker 2: using all of these, uh, euphemisms. They were using all these,
- 15:14Speaker 2: you know, you gotta really think outside the box and
- 15:17Speaker 2: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. They were just
- 15:19Speaker 2: saying all these sorts of things. Um, I wanted to
- 15:23Speaker 2: in passing them to just say, well, it takes two
- 15:24Speaker 2: to tango and just keep walking. But, um, but the
- 15:27Speaker 2: whole thinking outside the box and if it ain't broke,
- 15:30Speaker 2: don't fix it. And when they said that, I just
- 15:32Speaker 2: remember thinking to myself, about the governor's race, what absolute
- 15:36Speaker 2: boneheads we would be if we suddenly decided to change
- 15:40Speaker 2: course and try to make Georgia blue by going with
- 15:45Speaker 2: Keisha Lance Bottoms. And I think that the marketing, there's
- 15:50Speaker 2: an ad that the Rick Jackson campaign is running where
- 15:54Speaker 2: they point out all the news clips play from that
- 15:58Speaker 2: Wendy's incident that happened. It's worth Googling the ad just
- 16:02Speaker 2: to see it if you've forgotten about it, but you
- 16:06Speaker 2: just need to Google it. You need to see the
- 16:07Speaker 2: ad if you haven't already seen it. But it talks
- 16:09Speaker 2: about her absolute incompetence that she had when she was
- 16:13Speaker 2: mayor and all of that incident happened. Shooting, an eight-year-old
- 16:19Speaker 2: girl was shot and killed. It was commonly known there
- 16:22Speaker 2: were people just patrolling that area, terrorizing that neighborhood with weapons. And,
- 16:29Speaker 2: you know, the accusation there was that she ordered or
- 16:32Speaker 2: the investigation there from the lawyers for this family was
- 16:35Speaker 2: that they she ordered police to stand down and not
- 16:38Speaker 2: go in that area. And this little girl got shot
- 16:41Speaker 2: and killed. It's it's so on point for why you
- 16:46Speaker 2: don't you know, it ain't broke. There's no reason to
- 16:50Speaker 2: fix it. So I thought that was a great, great
- 16:54Speaker 2: ad that their perfect timing for that was just weeks
- 16:56Speaker 2: to go. as we're now in this phase of early
- 16:59Speaker 2: voting in Georgia. Today's show brought to you by Columbus
- 17:02Speaker 2: State University's Coca-Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the
- 17:08Speaker 2: youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders. that
- 17:14Speaker 2: really of all ages. I mean, they do it for
- 17:16Speaker 2: school-age kids as school-age kids visit the Coca-Cola Space Science Center,
- 17:20Speaker 2: but they also do it through their university programs where
- 17:24Speaker 2: you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in
- 17:29Speaker 2: space and STEM fields are booming right now. And you
- 17:33Speaker 2: can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website, ccssc.org.
- 17:41Speaker 2: While you're there... Also check out some of their upcoming programs.
- 17:45Speaker 2: They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the
- 17:49Speaker 2: Schwob School of Music from Columbus State University called Music
- 17:53Speaker 2: Under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you
- 17:57Speaker 2: can get anywhere else. It's one of those things that
- 17:59Speaker 2: when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is
- 18:02Speaker 2: this really in Columbus, Georgia? I mean, this is a
- 18:06Speaker 2: major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus and
- 18:11Speaker 2: Inside the planetarium at the Coca-Cola Space Science Center and
- 18:15Speaker 2: the new season of Music Under the Dome. Check out
- 18:18Speaker 2: upcoming dates for the shows and also check out when
- 18:22Speaker 2: the next astronomy night's coming up where you can get outside.
- 18:26Speaker 2: Sometimes you do it at the Coca-Cola Space Science Center.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Sometimes you get outside, somewhere outside the city lights. You
- 18:32Speaker 2: don't want any light interference, and you can do that
- 18:34Speaker 2: as well. Upcoming astronomy night events also on their website.
- 18:38Speaker 2: It's ccssc.org. As Sean Cruzan says, charliecharliesamsamcharlie.org. I just remind
- 18:46Speaker 2: you that it stands for Coca-Cola Space Science Center, ccssc.org.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
- 18:55Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial... or residential,
- 19:00Speaker 2: maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
- 19:04Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
- 19:08Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
- 19:11Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away
- 19:14Speaker 2: for you. And while they're there, you can always ask
- 19:17Speaker 2: them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
- 19:20Speaker 2: like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb
- 19:23Speaker 2: appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and
- 19:26Speaker 2: you need some repair work done to the outside door.
- 19:28Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
- 19:32Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
- 19:38Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
- 19:42Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
- 19:45Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
- 19:48Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
- 19:50Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor,
- 19:55Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
- 19:57Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 19:59Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
- 20:01Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
- 20:04Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
- 20:06Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
- 20:09Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
- 20:12Speaker 2: your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
- 20:14Speaker 2: come help. And they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.
- 20:19Speaker 2: More West Carroll Morning Show right after the break. Well,
- 20:37Speaker 2: if you're into tattoos, you may really be into this
- 20:41Speaker 2: particular type of tattoo. Scientists at the University of Colorado
- 20:44Speaker 2: have created a new tattoo ink that can be turned
- 20:48Speaker 2: on and off using different types of light. It's a
- 20:52Speaker 2: light-sensitive ink called Phototat, and it changes color in seconds
- 20:57Speaker 2: when exposed to ultraviolet light, allowing wearers to show off
- 21:02Speaker 2: a completely... like invisible art form that's on their body
- 21:07Speaker 2: when they want to show it off and then make
- 21:09Speaker 2: it invisible when they don't. The design stays visible indoors
- 21:13Speaker 2: for days, but exposure to bright outdoor light erases the
- 21:17Speaker 2: color almost instantly while leaving the ink safely inside the skin.
- 21:22Speaker 2: If the researchers perfect this, people will have a new
- 21:27Speaker 2: way to temporarily hide tattoos for work or family events.
- 21:31Speaker 2: And it could also help doctors create invisible medical markings
- 21:34Speaker 2: for surgeries. Yeah. And, you know, some of those little
- 21:40Speaker 2: marker things that they do when they do their surgeries or,
- 21:44Speaker 2: you know, jab your neck, those things are really hard
- 21:46Speaker 2: to wash off. And no matter how hard you scrub
- 21:49Speaker 2: them and scrub them, they just are hard to wash off.
- 21:51Speaker 2: I guess that's the same kind of things. Athletic Brewing
- 21:55Speaker 2: Company is the number one non-alcoholic beer brand in the U.S.,
- 21:59Speaker 2: and is also the official non-alcoholic beer of the National
- 22:03Speaker 2: Hockey League, as well as the New York Football Giants
- 22:07Speaker 2: and the New York Jets in the NFL. Because they're
- 22:10Speaker 2: such a force, it makes sense that this time of
- 22:12Speaker 2: year they'd release fall brews. But if you're into non-alcoholic beer,
- 22:18Speaker 2: be on the lookout for Athletic Brewing's Oktoberfest and pumpkin-flavored
- 22:22Speaker 2: Dark and Gordy, You get all the fall flavor and
- 22:25Speaker 2: satisfaction of beer without cheating on your sober October promise.
- 22:31Speaker 2: Sober October. What was the one for September? Another one
- 22:35Speaker 2: for dry January. I don't know. It's a lot of
- 22:37Speaker 2: those things. Sony has taken a lot of heat for
- 22:40Speaker 2: its decision to stop production of physical games for the
- 22:43Speaker 2: PlayStation console. On the other hand, Nintendo has reassured gamers
- 22:48Speaker 2: that it has no plans to abandon physical games on
- 22:51Speaker 2: the Switch 2. going as far as to confirm that
- 22:54Speaker 2: physical media remains a priority for the company. Company officials
- 22:59Speaker 2: said that listening to customer feedback is essential and for
- 23:02Speaker 2: now will continue to offer physical game cards on store
- 23:07Speaker 2: shelves alongside digital downloads. We need more companies actually listening
- 23:14Speaker 2: to the consumers. I think that's important, that you're actually
- 23:18Speaker 2: paying attention to what the consumers want And not just saying, no, no, no,
- 23:24Speaker 2: this is what we're going to do, and you're going
- 23:26Speaker 2: to like it, and that's that. And we see more and.
- 23:29Speaker 1: More of that.
- 23:29Speaker 2: Speaking of which, the trailer for The Magician's Nephew, the
- 23:35Speaker 2: Chronicles of Narnia movie by Greta Gerwig, that trailer came out,
- 23:40Speaker 2: and yeah, it looks ridiculous. I saw a few people
- 23:45Speaker 2: making comments that it looked like Thor Ragnarok as a C.S.
- 23:48Speaker 2: Lewis story. It's exactly what it looks like. They make
- 23:52Speaker 2: sure that we see in very broad print that it's
- 23:54Speaker 2: from the maker of the Barbie movie, and the fact
- 23:57Speaker 2: that she gets credit for writing and directing this C.S.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Lewis story is wild. I know you have to take
- 24:04Speaker 2: a story and you have to do some writing to
- 24:06Speaker 2: make adjustments for it to fit on the screen. How
- 24:09Speaker 2: about we just, you know, make a movie of the C.S.
- 24:13Speaker 2: Lewis story? Maybe we just do that and not add
- 24:17Speaker 2: all of the other stuff. Meryl Streep is playing Aslan,
- 24:22Speaker 2: by the way. So just do what you want to
- 24:24Speaker 2: do with that. A David Bowie-inspired Aslan. So, you know,
- 24:31Speaker 2: I won't be watching it. That's basically the important part
- 24:35Speaker 2: of the story for me. Are you dressing your pet
- 24:39Speaker 2: up for Halloween? Lots of people do it. In fact,
- 24:42Speaker 2: according to the National Retail Federation, Americans spent an estimated
- 24:45Speaker 2: $ 860 million on pet costumes for Halloween in 2025. A
- 24:51Speaker 2: nearly 23% increase from 2024. So what are they dressing
- 24:57Speaker 2: their pets up as? According to a new study by CertiPet,
- 25:01Speaker 2: the most popular Halloween costumes for pets this year will
- 25:05Speaker 2: be a dinosaur, a pumpkin, a hot dog. It's better
- 25:10Speaker 2: if it's a cat too, right? If you dress your
- 25:12Speaker 2: cat up as a hot dog. My dog would get
- 25:15Speaker 2: a big kick out of that. A shark, a ghost, Chucky.
- 25:19Speaker 2: I've seen that. Lion and Ewok, Scooby-Doo, and The Grinch.
- 25:26Speaker 2: They're just skipping right through Halloween and Thanksgiving with The Grinch.
- 25:32Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Thursday edition of the show.
- 25:34Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
- 25:38Speaker 2: I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
