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.
0:12
Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, twenty sixth day of May. I'm Wes, thanks
0:16
Speaker 2: for joining me. Feels like Monday. I know we had
0:19
Speaker 2: the holiday yesterday. I hope you had some time to
0:23
Speaker 2: reflect over your Memorial Day weekend. On your Memorial Day,
0:30
Speaker 2: I hope you weren't one of the jackasses shooting fireworks.
0:34
Speaker 2: It's not a firework holiday. I know. I talked about
0:37
Speaker 2: it a lot last week. It's just frustrating when people
0:40
Speaker 2: are doing it. It's very insensitive. It is unbelievably disrespectful,
0:46
Speaker 2: and shooting fireworks is just it's not okay. It's just
0:50
Speaker 2: not okay, and there's no way. I don't know what
0:53
Speaker 2: you do. I don't know how you fix the problem,
0:56
Speaker 2: because now that it's kind of in the bloodstream, it's
1:00
Speaker 2: just something that people think is okay to do and
1:02
Speaker 2: that they should do it, and they think, well, I
1:04
Speaker 2: love America, I'm going to shoot fireworks. But it's just
1:08
Speaker 2: not okay. Just to talk to a veteran that lives
1:12
Speaker 2: near you, that has lost someone or that has seen
1:16
Speaker 2: combat and they'll tell you it's this isn't the day
1:20
Speaker 2: I would think. I can't speak for all veterans, but
1:23
Speaker 2: anybody who has been in a combat situation and lost
1:28
Speaker 2: someone with explosions and gunshots around them, I don't think
1:32
Speaker 2: they want to hear I just don't think they want
1:34
Speaker 2: to hear booms over their house on the day that
1:38
Speaker 2: they're remembering the fallen. But again, I spoke my piece
1:41
Speaker 2: about it last week. I don't know really what you do.
1:45
Speaker 2: I don't know how to fix it. I don't know
1:47
Speaker 2: how moving forward. I know that there was at least
1:50
Speaker 2: in my childhood, and we've seen this a bit with
1:55
Speaker 2: our kids, not a lot, but I know that there
1:59
Speaker 2: is this constant movement or movements maybe to program kids
2:07
Speaker 2: and their parents through school. I mean, we all are
2:12
Speaker 2: very aware of it at the late high school and
2:14
Speaker 2: college level, especially like we know that we know it
2:18
Speaker 2: happens in some state, very blue states California or New York,
2:22
Speaker 2: especially California. But there's states where it's such a prominent
2:26
Speaker 2: part of the education process. They get the small kids
2:30
Speaker 2: and they want to have their you know, special days
2:33
Speaker 2: at the library and things or whatever. Like there's some
2:36
Speaker 2: programming and things that are going on. They're grooming all
2:40
Speaker 2: of that stuff that's happening. Some of that, I'm sure
2:44
Speaker 2: is just a genuine Hey, we want kids to have
2:46
Speaker 2: a positive experience with someone. I can't say that it's
2:50
Speaker 2: a blanket one hundred percent malicious intentions, but when we
2:56
Speaker 2: hear about it, it's always some sort of malicious intentions.
3:02
Speaker 2: So and the fact that you know, people aren't even
3:04
Speaker 2: able to exercise their free speech about it. You're not
3:06
Speaker 2: supposed to say anything. But a lot of that's died down.
3:09
Speaker 2: Something happened. I don't know. It was like an election.
3:12
Speaker 2: We had brought a president back, and a lot of
3:16
Speaker 2: people are like, you know why he came back is
3:19
Speaker 2: because we're tired of being told what to do and
3:22
Speaker 2: say and think and act and all those things. So anyway,
3:27
Speaker 2: but there was a time, I know when I was
3:29
Speaker 2: a kid and they wanted us to think about the environment.
3:32
Speaker 2: I think I think there may have been a phase
3:35
Speaker 2: of my education where they were talking about global cooling,
3:39
Speaker 2: because that was it, We're gonna have a big freeze
3:42
Speaker 2: that was going to take place, that was still kind
3:44
Speaker 2: of being discussed. Or maybe it was just the transition
3:47
Speaker 2: from oh no, we're gonna be a giant ice ball
3:49
Speaker 2: to no, no, no, we're gonna all be on fire.
3:53
Speaker 2: Either way. It's fear and it's a religion. And that's
3:56
Speaker 2: it became a religion with the you know it's going
3:58
Speaker 2: to be fire and then and worse and horrible. And
4:01
Speaker 2: then now you got a lot of the climate people
4:03
Speaker 2: saying we're not as bad as we thought. It's not
4:05
Speaker 2: so bad. In fact, hurricane season is not going to
4:09
Speaker 2: be so bad this year. Interesting the way those things
4:13
Speaker 2: have changed. But anyway, so I don't know. I don't
4:17
Speaker 2: know if that's what they could do in the schools. Hey,
4:19
Speaker 2: it's Memorial Day coming up. You know, it's not a
4:22
Speaker 2: holiday for explosions outside, not at all. But to the
4:28
Speaker 2: people in my neighborhood that decided to do it all
4:31
Speaker 2: weekend and many neighborhoods out there, you know, I know
4:35
Speaker 2: they're just not thinking. I know that's what it is.
4:38
Speaker 2: And I know I'm just being a grumpy old get
4:40
Speaker 2: off my lawn man, But it's not about me. I
4:44
Speaker 2: just can't believe how inconsiderate it is. So I don't know.
4:51
Speaker 2: I think that maybe they could do it, but I
4:53
Speaker 2: think they I think schools have stopped doing a lot
4:56
Speaker 2: of that, at least with it as far as the
4:59
Speaker 2: you know, being a decent person things. They do it
5:03
Speaker 2: in the schools when it's say, you know, the earth's
5:05
Speaker 2: on fire, you know you got to go home and
5:07
Speaker 2: tell your parents to recycle in those kind of things.
5:09
Speaker 2: My kids have done that. But they come home and
5:12
Speaker 2: they say, they're telling us we got twelve years to live.
5:16
Speaker 2: But we know that's wrong. Yeah, yeah, that is wrong.
5:19
Speaker 2: They're just making stuff up. They want to scare everybody.
5:22
Speaker 2: They want you to come home and scare us and
5:24
Speaker 2: make us think about how that you know, you guys
5:27
Speaker 2: are going to grow up in a world that's on fire,
5:29
Speaker 2: and we won't have grandkids, or they'll they'll inherit a
5:32
Speaker 2: world that's on fire and all those things. But anyway,
5:34
Speaker 2: I don't think they're allowed to tell people, hey, you know,
5:36
Speaker 2: let's stop littering. I don't think they're allowed to say that.
5:39
Speaker 2: I don't think Hey, maybe at the gas station, you know,
5:42
Speaker 2: your parents shouldn't have the music jacked up so loud
5:45
Speaker 2: that people six neighborhoods over it can hear it. Turn
5:48
Speaker 2: it down, and then you know, just turn it back
5:52
Speaker 2: up when you drive away. No one wants to hear
5:55
Speaker 2: your music like. They can't tell you that at school.
5:58
Speaker 2: We're not doing that anymore now. It's just figure out
6:01
Speaker 2: what you can get for all the time. That's all
6:05
Speaker 2: they tell us. That's my takeaway from the holiday weekend.
6:09
Speaker 2: Supposed to come out of a Memorial Day being thankful,
6:12
Speaker 2: I am. I'm thankful for sacrifice. I'm thankful for the
6:15
Speaker 2: ultimate sacrifice. I'm thankful for families who have lost people
6:20
Speaker 2: that they have to move on and they have to
6:24
Speaker 2: continue on. And I've got a very dear friend who
6:30
Speaker 2: I don't know that he even knew his dad at all,
6:33
Speaker 2: who died in Vietnam, and a dear friend, and that
6:38
Speaker 2: is something that that's part of his DNA, is that
6:42
Speaker 2: he has a moment to reflect on that and remember
6:47
Speaker 2: that every year on Memorial Day. It's just part of
6:49
Speaker 2: who he is and has been his whole life. So
6:52
Speaker 2: that's what the holiday is about. That's what it's supposed
6:55
Speaker 2: to be. There's a day for veterans that's coming. We'll
6:58
Speaker 2: get to that. There's there's other holidays that we can
7:04
Speaker 2: we can you know, Independence Days coming up fast. It's
7:06
Speaker 2: a big one. Keep all those fireworks save him for that.
7:10
Speaker 2: That's what you should have done, but you missed your
7:12
Speaker 2: chance to do that. Something that happened over I guess
7:16
Speaker 2: Thursday night, and I didn't talk about it Friday because
7:19
Speaker 2: you know, my Friday shows typically are kind of some
7:22
Speaker 2: strange and bizarre news kind of stuff. But the whole
7:27
Speaker 2: Stephen Colbert thing, it went out on a on a whimper.
7:30
Speaker 2: I know that people want it to be Oh, it
7:33
Speaker 2: was amazing and he but no one cared. I saw.
7:38
Speaker 2: I think it was Babylon b had a thing that
7:40
Speaker 2: said Americans are looking forward to not watching Stephen Colbert
7:44
Speaker 2: one last time. It's you know that show Letterman in
7:50
Speaker 2: his prime, at his peak, when he was head to
7:53
Speaker 2: head with Leno, back to back, back and forth, who
7:56
Speaker 2: was who was in the lead, who wasn't in the lead,
7:59
Speaker 2: And and finally I guess it was the Hugh Grant,
8:03
Speaker 2: you know, what the hell are you thinking moment that
8:05
Speaker 2: where he got arrested, Like that was the moment I
8:08
Speaker 2: think where it all just kind of started to go
8:11
Speaker 2: for mostly for Leno the rest of the way, but
8:15
Speaker 2: Letterman prime, and that was back when you know, Letterman
8:19
Speaker 2: and Leno were just they were doing shows they were
8:22
Speaker 2: entertaining people. They were sending you to bed with some laughs,
8:24
Speaker 2: and that was it. They made fun of everyone. I
8:28
Speaker 2: have in my possession a Q card from The Late
8:33
Speaker 2: Show with David Letterman, a joke about former President Bill Clinton.
8:37
Speaker 2: I have that in my possession. A friend gifted that
8:40
Speaker 2: to me who interned there. I remember the joke. I
8:45
Speaker 2: remember watching that episode and hearing that joke, and I
8:48
Speaker 2: have that C card is one of my prized possessions.
8:53
Speaker 2: That's when he made fun of both sides. And then,
8:57
Speaker 2: of course, at some point that transition happen. Letterman said
9:00
Speaker 2: nine to eleven was the thing that made him realize
9:02
Speaker 2: it was all too important, and it wasn't necessarily about comedy.
9:08
Speaker 2: It was about, you know, changing things and making a difference.
9:11
Speaker 2: And that's a choice that he made, and it gradually
9:15
Speaker 2: became the thing where I just I lost interest. He
9:19
Speaker 2: was a big part of why I got into broadcasting.
9:22
Speaker 2: And then when he retired, he handed off his show
9:25
Speaker 2: to Stephen Colbert, who of course had been doing the
9:30
Speaker 2: satirical conservative like he was making fun of Bill O'Reilly.
9:35
Speaker 2: That's what he was doing on his show, The Colbert Rapport.
9:38
Speaker 2: And you know, a lot of people thought, well, he
9:41
Speaker 2: could have waited around and taken over the Daily Show
9:43
Speaker 2: and been good at that. I think he needed to
9:45
Speaker 2: break away because of that character he was playing. I
9:48
Speaker 2: know conservatives who didn't get the joke. I know conservatives
9:51
Speaker 2: that just missed it, like he's making fun of you.
9:54
Speaker 2: He's not you, he's making fun of you. But anyway,
9:58
Speaker 2: he took over the Late Show on CBS, and you know,
10:02
Speaker 2: all of those shows gradually became basically just you know,
10:08
Speaker 2: disseminating information for the left. That's what they became for
10:12
Speaker 2: a little while. Jimmy Fallon he's the least guilty, I
10:17
Speaker 2: think of the group, and for a while, I think
10:20
Speaker 2: Fallen was kind of trying to stay away from it.
10:22
Speaker 2: But I think he was blamed in part. He may
10:26
Speaker 2: not know this, he was blamed in part for helping
10:28
Speaker 2: Trump get elected. The first time Trump went on the
10:31
Speaker 2: Tonight Show and Fallen did a thing where he got
10:36
Speaker 2: permission to muss up Trump's hair and you know, to
10:39
Speaker 2: prove it wasn't a wig, and that was a whole thing.
10:42
Speaker 2: It was a bit was it got a huge laugh,
10:45
Speaker 2: huge cheers from the audience. And then when he won
10:49
Speaker 2: the presidency, he was blamed how dare you help Donald
10:54
Speaker 2: Trump look more human? You humanized him. It was a
10:58
Speaker 2: significant moment in the campaign. It became a big deal
11:03
Speaker 2: and he was ostracized for a while, how dare you?
11:08
Speaker 2: And then ultimately they put pressure on Kimmel to I'm sorry,
11:12
Speaker 2: it's not kim We know Kimmel on fallon. There's too
11:16
Speaker 2: many Jimmies, all right, we got too many Jimmies in
11:20
Speaker 2: the Late Night World. They and one less Stephen. They
11:27
Speaker 2: were putting pressure on him to be political, and that's
11:30
Speaker 2: what he became. He became that again, just one of
11:33
Speaker 2: their hacks. And he doesn't do it as much, but
11:36
Speaker 2: he's still doing it. And it's like, what are why?
11:39
Speaker 2: Why are we doing this? You know, it makes you
11:42
Speaker 2: miss the days when they could have something else. So
11:45
Speaker 2: ratings were bad. The show was losing forty million dollars
11:48
Speaker 2: was it a month or a year? A year? Forty
11:50
Speaker 2: could have been a month, forty million dollars a year,
11:54
Speaker 2: and the ratings were just down, so they get rid
11:59
Speaker 2: of the show. It's been a long gradual like we're
12:02
Speaker 2: going to finish out this contract or this part of
12:04
Speaker 2: the contract I think they gave Byron Allen a show.
12:08
Speaker 2: Finally the left gets a little diversity at night, because
12:12
Speaker 2: you know, that's been kind of the thing, Like, boy,
12:14
Speaker 2: these talk show hosts are all for diversity, and it's
12:17
Speaker 2: a bunch of white guys sitting on Stephen Colbert's couch
12:21
Speaker 2: talking about political things and hating Trump and all those things.
12:26
Speaker 2: Byron Allen honestly has been one of those guys. He's listened,
12:31
Speaker 2: he's not going to be controversial. I don't think he
12:34
Speaker 2: says he's not going to be political, But Byron Allen
12:38
Speaker 2: is one of those guys. He's like a politician who's
12:42
Speaker 2: kind of just been waiting his turn in the wings.
12:45
Speaker 2: They just keep passing him up for other people. They
12:49
Speaker 2: just kind of ignore him. They don't really give him
12:51
Speaker 2: much of a chance. They don't really know that he's
12:53
Speaker 2: going to be overly successful. But in this case, now
12:58
Speaker 2: they know he'll work for cheap and it's his turn.
13:01
Speaker 2: He's missed so many opportunities to host a show. He
13:05
Speaker 2: has hosted a show that's kind of been one of
13:07
Speaker 2: those syndicated things that shows up at like three in
13:09
Speaker 2: the morning or some random time on the weekends. What
13:14
Speaker 2: was the show Comics Unleashed or something I think it
13:17
Speaker 2: was called it's just him sitting there doing the interview
13:22
Speaker 2: part of an appearance of a stand up on his couches,
13:28
Speaker 2: but they don't really do the stand up. They just
13:30
Speaker 2: sit there and he tees them up for their jokes.
13:33
Speaker 2: And it's the thing that talk show hosts have been
13:35
Speaker 2: doing for years. You think about Conan O'Brien and Norm MacDonald,
13:39
Speaker 2: and Conan would just kind of set him up and
13:41
Speaker 2: let Norm run with the bit. Carson did it when
13:45
Speaker 2: they would come over on the couch and they were
13:46
Speaker 2: good enough for that. Letterman of course did it. That
13:48
Speaker 2: was the thing like that was a big part of
13:50
Speaker 2: what the job was all those years ago. And Byron
13:54
Speaker 2: Allen is one of those people that that's what he's
13:57
Speaker 2: going to do, so he'll take over. It will be
14:00
Speaker 2: a very inexpensive show. He's earned his chance to have
14:04
Speaker 2: a show. Is it going to be very good?
14:06
Speaker 1: No?
14:06
Speaker 2: Is it going to get high ratings? Probably not the
14:10
Speaker 2: fact that you probably are going. Am I supposed to
14:13
Speaker 2: know who Byron Allen is? And I know him because
14:17
Speaker 2: I've seen his show with Comics before. I've seen segments
14:20
Speaker 2: of it, and Byron Allen's been I think he's had
14:23
Speaker 2: a talk show before, but never I guess in this
14:27
Speaker 2: kind of slot. I mean, getting that time slot that
14:32
Speaker 2: Letterman once held should be a big deal. It really
14:37
Speaker 2: should be a big deal. But there's a boycott now.
14:41
Speaker 2: There's people saying, do not watch CBS. A lot of celebrities.
14:46
Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel is one of the people saying, don't watch CBS.
14:50
Speaker 2: Don't watch football on CBS good luck, don't watch any
14:54
Speaker 2: of their programming. Of course he's on ABC. He's telling
14:57
Speaker 2: everybody don't watch it. Crazy idea, how about we don't
15:01
Speaker 2: watch any of the networks until they kind of get
15:03
Speaker 2: something in line. I'm not gonna steer clear of a network.
15:07
Speaker 2: I haven't steered clear of ABC because of Kimmel, like
15:11
Speaker 2: and if I was gonna do it, I probably would
15:13
Speaker 2: have done it over a lot of his insensitive jokes
15:15
Speaker 2: about Trump, as far as especially his recent joke about
15:23
Speaker 2: the First Lady and her being a widow and all
15:25
Speaker 2: those things. I know, I guess it depends on what
15:30
Speaker 2: you read online, but I know he didn't know that
15:33
Speaker 2: the assassination attempt was going to happen at that particular event.
15:38
Speaker 2: I know there's people online that would probably disagree with
15:41
Speaker 2: that greatly, but he is. He would have been a
15:45
Speaker 2: reason for me to go I'm not gonna watch. And
15:47
Speaker 2: it's not that I really watch ABC anyway. I mean
15:50
Speaker 2: I watch part of the ABC networks. You know, I'll
15:54
Speaker 2: watch something on Disney Plus. I'll do that, but I'm not.
16:02
Speaker 2: And I watched Mandalorian Grogu over the weekend and it
16:07
Speaker 2: was good. It's fun. I'm not boycotting. You're in a
16:11
Speaker 2: position where if you like Star Wars, you're kind of
16:14
Speaker 2: at their mercy and they know that, and they just
16:17
Speaker 2: kind of dare you to boycott them in that sense,
16:20
Speaker 2: and it makes it tempting, it does. I got I
16:24
Speaker 2: got let go or laid off technically from a job
16:27
Speaker 2: once and I was told that I was less likely
16:30
Speaker 2: to sue them than some other employees. And you know,
16:35
Speaker 2: that's the kind of thing that makes you think, well,
16:36
Speaker 2: maybe I should sue. You know, they're just kind of
16:40
Speaker 2: daring you. Hey, I dare you to not watch the
16:42
Speaker 2: Marvel movies. I dare you to not watch the Star
16:45
Speaker 2: Wars movies. You know, what are you gonna do? How
16:47
Speaker 2: are you gonna get your Star Wars entertainment without watching
16:49
Speaker 2: the stuff? That we're cranking out. So yeah, they want
16:53
Speaker 2: a boycott, and I you know, if you want a
16:56
Speaker 2: boycott in the networks, do it do all of them,
16:59
Speaker 2: you know. I mean there's people that should be boycotting
17:03
Speaker 2: in the NFL overall of the like, well, you got
17:05
Speaker 2: to have this app and that app and this and
17:06
Speaker 2: that to watch the games. I know some of the
17:09
Speaker 2: teams are really struggling and frustrated with this idea of
17:14
Speaker 2: all these international games. There's plenty of reasons if you
17:17
Speaker 2: wanted to boycott the NFL to do it. I'm not
17:20
Speaker 2: boycotting it. My team might be starting to get good.
17:23
Speaker 2: They got a new coach, they got a quarterback, they
17:25
Speaker 2: got some defensive weapons, they got a crayon eating running
17:30
Speaker 2: back in cam Scattaboy. I feel good about it. I
17:33
Speaker 2: don't know if it's going to be a huge turnaround
17:36
Speaker 2: right away, but this is not the time for me
17:38
Speaker 2: to suddenly boycott it. Now. Let them lose five or
17:40
Speaker 2: six games at the start of the season. I might
17:43
Speaker 2: tap out for another year. But these people that have
17:46
Speaker 2: decided that you don't need to watch CBS because they
17:50
Speaker 2: got rid of a show that was bleeding money, it's
17:55
Speaker 2: kind of ridiculous, isn't it. Today's show brought to you
17:57
Speaker 2: by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring

21:43
Speaker 2: in that my dear friend Mark Hughes is an artist
21:50
Speaker 2: artist when grilling or in this case, smoking, he had
21:54
Speaker 2: a smoker. He was up. Mark is the kind of guy.
21:57
Speaker 2: He's committed to the cause. He listens, by the way,
22:01
Speaker 2: so I'm really gonna pour it on things, but he
22:04
Speaker 2: he's committed to the cause, and he is He's dedicated,
22:09
Speaker 2: and he was up like there was some weather. He
22:12
Speaker 2: was concerned about his smoker. He was concerned about things.
22:15
Speaker 2: He was up all hours of the night. I could
22:17
Speaker 2: see he was tired. But the product was unbelievable and
22:23
Speaker 2: just outstanding. I sent him a text yesterday just saying
22:26
Speaker 2: it was it was. It was an art form, like
22:29
Speaker 2: what you did to that meat. It was like candy,
22:33
Speaker 2: like candied meat, and you can't, like, you can't go
22:35
Speaker 2: wrong with that. So Mark, again, thank you, major props.
22:42
Speaker 2: You could you could definitely, you know, have people pay
22:46
Speaker 2: you to fire up that smoker, but you don't. You
22:49
Speaker 2: don't physically need to go through that too many times.
22:51
Speaker 2: So but it is well appreciated and even sent us
22:54
Speaker 2: home with some leftovers and we were eating those yesterday.
22:58
Speaker 2: We were fighting over it in the Carrol House. So
23:01
Speaker 2: thank you, Mark, Love you, buddy. Let's talk about hot dogs.
23:05
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people eat hot dogs. A lot
23:07
Speaker 2: of people eat hot dogs over the weekend. This is
23:10
Speaker 2: when things kick in, the official kickoff of hot dog
23:14
Speaker 2: season or is it unofficial? I don't know. But basically,
23:18
Speaker 2: from Memorial Day until Labor Day, Americans will eat about
23:24
Speaker 2: seven billion hot dogs. It's about eight hundred and eighteen
23:28
Speaker 2: hot dogs per second, yeah, per second. And the cities
23:34
Speaker 2: that eat the most. The National hot Dog and Sausage
23:37
Speaker 2: Council says that LA residents eat more hot dogs than
23:41
Speaker 2: any other city at about twenty seven pounds, edging out
23:46
Speaker 2: New York, New York every year. When I hear the
23:49
Speaker 2: stat and they say LA, I just say, how do
23:53
Speaker 2: they eat more than New York. It's one of the
23:55
Speaker 2: things New York is known for. The guys on the
23:58
Speaker 2: streets with the hot dogs. I mean every block there's
24:02
Speaker 2: somebody selling hot dogs. And then I also think Chicago.
24:05
Speaker 2: If you spend any time in Chicago, they got their
24:08
Speaker 2: own style of hot dog and they're everywhere. LA at one,
24:12
Speaker 2: New York, then Dallas, than Chicago, Boston, Houston, Philadelphia, Miami, Phoenix,
24:19
Speaker 2: and DC are the top ten places where people won't
24:23
Speaker 2: eat those hot dogs in that period. They don't eat
24:27
Speaker 2: all seven billion, but they eat the lion share like that.
24:31
Speaker 2: Top ten cities of eating a lot of it, and
24:35
Speaker 2: a lot of burgers also get eaten over this summer holiday.
24:39
Speaker 2: Now that we're into the unofficial summer holiday. I've said
24:43
Speaker 2: this before, I think of June first as the beginning
24:45
Speaker 2: of summer. I don't go by the astronomical thing. I
24:49
Speaker 2: go by the months June, July, August. But we're now
24:51
Speaker 2: in that unofficial launch of it. You gov survey says
24:55
Speaker 2: that seventy eight percent of Americans say that they like
24:58
Speaker 2: meat base burgers. That means that's probably what they were
25:01
Speaker 2: eating over the weekend. Eight percent of those surveys said
25:06
Speaker 2: didn't like burgers at all. And I guess toppings, no surprise,
25:11
Speaker 2: cheese at the top of the list. Catch up, lettuce, tomatoes, onions.
25:15
Speaker 2: Your top five pickles are in there, Mustard is in there,
25:19
Speaker 2: bacon is in there. But those are the big ones
25:21
Speaker 2: that you get up at the top. So you probably
25:23
Speaker 2: ate some of that over the weekend, and then as
25:27
Speaker 2: we're now into swimsuit season as well. Once you hit
25:31
Speaker 2: beach season in summer, that's when swimsuits season kind of
25:35
Speaker 2: kicks in. And many not big fans of the fact
25:42
Speaker 2: that swimsuit season gets underway. A survey says forty six
25:46
Speaker 2: percent of respondent said they do not feel confident wearing
25:49
Speaker 2: a bathing suit, but many seem to be their own
25:53
Speaker 2: worst enemy, seventy six percent saying they're more critical of
25:56
Speaker 2: their own appearance in a swimsuit than they are of
25:58
Speaker 2: others in a swim suit. And how much people hate
26:02
Speaker 2: wearing the swimsuit. The survey found thirty three percent said
26:04
Speaker 2: they would rather go to the dentist than hit the
26:08
Speaker 2: beach or pool in a bathing suit. That's just not
26:12
Speaker 2: fair if you had a good dentist, it's not fair
26:15
Speaker 2: to the dentist. You know, these anti dentite people saying
26:19
Speaker 2: that that's your Seinfeld reference. Sorry, So yeah, I think
26:26
Speaker 2: that people are I think people are definitely harder on
26:32
Speaker 2: themselves when it comes to their appearance in a swimsuit
26:37
Speaker 2: or all of those things. And then one more thing
26:41
Speaker 2: in here, as a lot of people went to the
26:43
Speaker 2: beach over the weekend, you may still be there, especially
26:45
Speaker 2: if you took us on the road. Thank you for that.
26:49
Speaker 2: But this idea of reserving a pool chair, you know,
26:54
Speaker 2: you're at the hotel, you're somewhere where's a pool, and
26:57
Speaker 2: someone puts a towel to reserve it. And I guess
27:01
Speaker 2: there's some questions about whether or not it's okay to
27:03
Speaker 2: reserve pool chairs. I think you have to. You have
27:06
Speaker 2: to respect that you start moving people's stuff, that's not okay.
27:10
Speaker 2: But whether or not a towel is just enough you
27:13
Speaker 2: can move it to another chair, or how long you're
27:15
Speaker 2: able to hold it with just a pool sitting there.
27:18
Speaker 2: Some resorts say that they've gone to a forty five
27:21
Speaker 2: minute rule and then they go around and collect the towels.
27:25
Speaker 2: At least then the resort is taking care of it.
27:28
Speaker 2: You don't have to individually do it and risk there
27:30
Speaker 2: being somebody throwing bloat. But if you're sitting in the
27:35
Speaker 2: chair that had the towel on it, and well there
27:37
Speaker 2: wasn't a towel there, it still could come to blows.
27:40
Speaker 2: I guess I don't know that'll do it. For this
27:43
Speaker 2: Tuesday edition of the show, thanks to our sponsors and patrons.
27:46
