0:01
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.
0:10
Speaker 2: Monday morning, seventeenth day of March. Top of the morning
0:16
Speaker 2: to you. I'm Wes, Thanks for joining me. I hope
0:21
Speaker 2: your weekend was, you know, as good as it could
0:26
Speaker 2: be considering weather for most of our listening area. While
0:30
Speaker 2: maybe we had some severe weather, some trees down, some
0:33
Speaker 2: people with some power down. And I say listening area,
0:37
Speaker 2: I understand we had a lot of people listening really
0:39
Speaker 2: all over the world. Now, by the way, welcome those
0:43
Speaker 2: of you listening across the pond. We got some new
0:45
Speaker 2: listeners in the UK. Thanks thanks for dialing u up.
0:50
Speaker 2: But the area from whence we are birthed every day,
0:57
Speaker 2: we largely just had some trees down, some power outage
1:01
Speaker 2: here in this particular part of West Georgia and East Alabama.
1:06
Speaker 2: Now other parts of the southeast and other parts of
1:10
Speaker 2: the country got hit significantly harder. Last check last night,
1:14
Speaker 2: I think it said thirty seven people have died from
1:16
Speaker 2: the storms and a lot of devastation that these storms
1:23
Speaker 2: just tore through the country. So of course we think
1:29
Speaker 2: of our brothers and sisters throughout the country that are
1:33
Speaker 2: dealing with the aftermath the loss not just of life
1:38
Speaker 2: but also of property for so many. And the folks
1:42
Speaker 2: that are working to get power back on in places
1:45
Speaker 2: around the country. God bless those guys for doing that,
1:48
Speaker 2: as they always do. And you know our prayers and
1:54
Speaker 2: we're just ready for people to start the next up
2:00
Speaker 2: of all of this. Some are grieving, some are grieving
2:02
Speaker 2: loss of property, some are grieving basically this whole up
2:09
Speaker 2: ending of life. And that's one of those things that
2:12
Speaker 2: we often don't think about. And obviously those that are
2:16
Speaker 2: literally grieving for loss of life in their lives. So
2:24
Speaker 2: the difference, and we're in a this is the first
2:28
Speaker 2: of this type of event that's happened in this new administration.
2:32
Speaker 2: We're not going to see the President of the United
2:33
Speaker 2: States complaining about climate change from this. We'll see some
2:37
Speaker 2: folks on the left doing it. But I suspect we're
2:41
Speaker 2: going to see this administration getting help to the people
2:45
Speaker 2: who need the help and focusing on getting them help
2:51
Speaker 2: right away as soon as possible, and not giving their
2:55
Speaker 2: money to others. I mean, that's the reality. And when
2:58
Speaker 2: I say their money, hey, you pay taxes, you put
3:01
Speaker 2: something in and then when it comes your time to
3:06
Speaker 2: need help, you want it to be there, and you
3:08
Speaker 2: don't want it sent overseas. You don't want it sent
3:12
Speaker 2: to other parts of the country that where it's used
3:15
Speaker 2: for people who are not in the country legally. And
3:18
Speaker 2: it's just the reality of it. I know that's an
3:21
Speaker 2: oversimplification of what's going on, but in many cases there's
3:25
Speaker 2: an accuracy to it. So now we've had this storm
3:30
Speaker 2: system move through, and actually two systems went through, and
3:34
Speaker 2: the second one, you know, working to cool things down
3:37
Speaker 2: for us again before we finally get into officially kicking
3:42
Speaker 2: off spring later this week. So for some this past weekend,
3:46
Speaker 2: there were some Saint Patrick's Day celebrations there for some
3:51
Speaker 2: that will be tonight, and again, as always, just if
3:54
Speaker 2: you're going to be out celebrating tonight, be careful, be smart,
4:00
Speaker 2: take the precautions that you need to. There's too many
4:02
Speaker 2: options for getting rides, and it's not there's no excuse
4:06
Speaker 2: for being dumb if you're out celebrating. I will be
4:11
Speaker 2: making my annual soda bread. We end up making I
4:16
Speaker 2: do a loaf and then we eat it and then
4:18
Speaker 2: we realize we're gonna need at least one, maybe two
4:21
Speaker 2: more loaves of it. That's just what we do. You
4:24
Speaker 2: almost forget how good it is. Last year, this time
4:28
Speaker 2: of year, we did not have a kitchen. By the way,
4:32
Speaker 2: I guess I'll let you down. I told you we'd
4:33
Speaker 2: eventually tell you when the kitchen was finished. It's now
4:36
Speaker 2: been about a month, I guess, since the work finished
4:38
Speaker 2: on the kitchen, and I sort of forgot to do
4:41
Speaker 2: that because we were dealing with, you know, finalizing things
4:44
Speaker 2: with insurance and paying the bills and all that stuff.
4:48
Speaker 2: But we did finally get the kitchen finished after more
4:52
Speaker 2: than a year of work on it. But a year
4:55
Speaker 2: ago we didn't have the kitchen to do Saint Patrick's
4:59
Speaker 2: Day things. We didn't have a counter where I could,
5:01
Speaker 2: you know, work on making soda bread and things. I
5:03
Speaker 2: think I did do Shepherd's pie last year, which is
5:06
Speaker 2: something else I usually do, and I'll be doing that
5:08
Speaker 2: today as well. But anyway, I hope you can celebrate
5:13
Speaker 2: if you are celebrating Saint Patrick's Day today. I want
5:18
Speaker 2: to talk a little bit about this this issue of
5:23
Speaker 2: is it free speech or isn't it free speech? And
5:28
Speaker 2: that seems to be the tennis match or pickleball or
5:33
Speaker 2: I don't know. It used to be the analogy, right,
5:36
Speaker 2: you'd say the tennis match. Now it's it's pickleball. Now
5:40
Speaker 2: that's probably more accurate because it's not the long strokes.
5:44
Speaker 2: It's just the little short dot dout dot jabs that
5:47
Speaker 2: are taken back and forth. I think that's what they
5:50
Speaker 2: do in pickleball. I've never played it. I don't know
5:52
Speaker 2: dout dot. We're more of a tennis family than a
5:54
Speaker 2: pickleball family, although I don't have the hips for tennis anymore,
5:59
Speaker 2: so pickleball probably would be a better alternative, I'm told.
6:05
Speaker 2: So this Mahmoud Khalil, who is public Enemy number one
6:14
Speaker 2: according to some as This is someone who I'm sure
6:17
Speaker 2: you've heard the story. This is someone who has been
6:19
Speaker 2: in the country, is here with a green card, which
6:23
Speaker 2: is not citizenship by the way, and someone that the
6:28
Speaker 2: Trump administration says he needs to be deported. He has
6:32
Speaker 2: been here and he is on the side of terrorism.
6:38
Speaker 2: I'm paraphrasing, but this is basically the message that's coming
6:42
Speaker 2: from the Department of State, that's coming from the Trump administration,
6:47
Speaker 2: and basically this is someone who he's I guess married
6:55
Speaker 2: to an American citizen. They have a child on the way,
6:59
Speaker 2: and he him self came here on a visa and
7:03
Speaker 2: now has applied. I don't know if he's I don't
7:06
Speaker 2: think he's applied for citizenship yet. He's gotten his permanent residency,
7:08
Speaker 2: which is what a green card is. But a permanent
7:11
Speaker 2: residency does not make you a citizen. And that's where
7:14
Speaker 2: some people I think are getting mistaken about things. Being
7:17
Speaker 2: married to an American citizen does not make you a citizen.
7:21
Speaker 2: There's a process that you go through in either one.
7:24
Speaker 2: I think it's five years of being a permanent resident
7:28
Speaker 2: before you can apply for citizenship, and then three years
7:33
Speaker 2: I believe, when you were actually married to an American citizen.
7:38
Speaker 2: So because a lot of people think, they think, like
7:40
Speaker 2: in the movies, you know, it's one of those like
7:43
Speaker 2: you marry somebody and then you're automatically a citizen or whatever,
7:47
Speaker 2: and that's that's not how it works, not at all.
7:50
Speaker 2: It's like the ten percent of your brain thing. You
7:52
Speaker 2: use one hundred percent of your brain, not ten percent.
7:55
Speaker 2: That's also one of those myths that they do in movies.
7:58
Speaker 2: So we're talking about someone who who in Khalil, who's
8:02
Speaker 2: been leading demonstrations pro Palestine, anti Israel, and more importantly,
8:10
Speaker 2: they say, and again I have to kind of put
8:13
Speaker 2: this in the allegedly category because I don't know. I
8:17
Speaker 2: haven't been there, I haven't put my hands on anything.
8:21
Speaker 2: But according to the evidence, according to what's been presented,
8:25
Speaker 2: the reasons for him to be deported is that he
8:29
Speaker 2: is a pro Hamas pro Palestine supporter, and I think
8:36
Speaker 2: it's pretty clear that the protests he's been involved in
8:39
Speaker 2: are anti Israel, anti Jewish people. So that's where the
8:44
Speaker 2: question comes in. Is is it free speech? If it's
8:48
Speaker 2: in the name of terror, is it free speech? And
8:51
Speaker 2: we'll pull it aside from specifically talking about him, But
8:56
Speaker 2: the people who are defending him, who seem to be
8:58
Speaker 2: trying to make this a free speech issue. One of
9:01
Speaker 2: those people is Bill Maher, who on his show has
9:06
Speaker 2: basically stepped up and said, hey, you know, Republicans have
9:10
Speaker 2: been saying that they're the supporters of free speech and
9:12
Speaker 2: Democrats are not, and they're trying to cut out the
9:15
Speaker 2: woke stuff, and this treatment of this Green card holder
9:23
Speaker 2: is not a case of supporting free speech. They're trying
9:26
Speaker 2: to quiet him down because they say he says Republicans
9:30
Speaker 2: can't quite understand how you can be pro Hamas and
9:40
Speaker 2: then also pro the left. I don't know, I'm paraphrasing
9:46
Speaker 2: some of what he said. He says, it's an interesting
9:49
Speaker 2: combination that Republicans haven't quite figured out. That part is
9:53
Speaker 2: probably true, but I also think that's a weird combination
9:57
Speaker 2: that I don't think anybody has quite figured out. Does
9:59
Speaker 2: anybody really understand the anti jew hate that has been
10:06
Speaker 2: supported by many people on the left and supporting people's
10:10
Speaker 2: free speech, their right to support a terror organization. And
10:16
Speaker 2: that's that's where things, I think get really confusing, and
10:21
Speaker 2: and that's where you know, things become Oh sorry, mars,
10:30
Speaker 2: I was looking for exact quote. He says, the biz
10:33
Speaker 2: bizarre alliance of jihadism and wokeism that they can't quite understand.
10:40
Speaker 2: And so that's what they they they realize that he's
10:46
Speaker 2: saying these things and supporting this. Look here, here's the thing,
10:50
Speaker 2: and there's a few things at play here leading these
10:55
Speaker 2: protests on on college campuses. There's only a few way
11:00
Speaker 2: to handle it. First of all, we're not necessarily on
11:03
Speaker 2: some college campuses, even talking about areas where you're allowed
11:06
Speaker 2: to be if you don't go to school there, And
11:09
Speaker 2: sadly that's part of the way that some of this
11:11
Speaker 2: gets dealt with. These people are trespassing or they're in
11:14
Speaker 2: school there, and then ultimately they get kicked out of
11:17
Speaker 2: school there once they cross that line of not just
11:21
Speaker 2: protesting peacefully, but blocking Jewish students' ability to get to
11:27
Speaker 2: class or to go you know, take a test, or
11:30
Speaker 2: just be on campus, making Jewish students feel like they're
11:34
Speaker 2: not welcome there. That's where it becomes a question, So
11:39
Speaker 2: where's their rights, where's their ability to function in our society?
11:46
Speaker 2: And that's the thing that gets neglected. Look, I've never
11:48
Speaker 2: been an advocate for this, you know, blocking people's ability
11:54
Speaker 2: to function, blocking roads, the sit ins where people can't
11:59
Speaker 2: get in and con their business. It's desperate, right, It's
12:04
Speaker 2: a very desperate way to protest. But when you especially
12:09
Speaker 2: when you start talking about with cars and you're starting
12:11
Speaker 2: to make people feel threatened. I can't imagine being in
12:15
Speaker 2: a car with my family on a road that gets
12:17
Speaker 2: blocked and we're surrounded by people who maybe don't disagree
12:21
Speaker 2: with us on something, and even if they do, they're
12:24
Speaker 2: making us feel threatened by being there. That's the essence
12:28
Speaker 2: of what terrorism is. Right, you're trying to use fear
12:31
Speaker 2: to intimidate and get a response or some sort of
12:36
Speaker 2: reaction out of people. So if that's what this guy
12:40
Speaker 2: is about, and he's not a citizen, he's just a
12:45
Speaker 2: permanent resident, he's got a green card, but that doesn't
12:48
Speaker 2: guarantee him the right to sing praises of terrorism. That
12:54
Speaker 2: doesn't give him the right to support a terror organization.
12:59
Speaker 2: That doesn't give him the right to seeing the praises
13:01
Speaker 2: of murderers and rapists and people who have committed these
13:07
Speaker 2: horrible crimes against Jewish people. There was a time when
13:12
Speaker 2: we didn't tolerate this in America at all, even from citizens.
13:18
Speaker 2: There was a time when this was not something that
13:21
Speaker 2: was going to be supported. Now, if someone wants to
13:24
Speaker 2: stand on the street and they want to scream anti
13:27
Speaker 2: Semitic comments, there used to be a time when it
13:31
Speaker 2: was dealt with certain ways. You have groups of college
13:36
Speaker 2: students that are saying anti Semitic things and they're being
13:41
Speaker 2: defended versus someone who tapped his chest and put his
13:47
Speaker 2: hand out and said, my heart goes out to all
13:50
Speaker 2: of you, and I'm talking about Elon Musk. And people
13:53
Speaker 2: have you know, labeled him a Nazi. He's a Hitler supporter,
14:00
Speaker 2: South African. He's a Nazi and there's no evidence whatsoever
14:06
Speaker 2: to link him to any beliefs of Nazism. But it's
14:11
Speaker 2: okay to do that to him. But it's not okay
14:15
Speaker 2: to do this to someone who has encouraged, least according
14:20
Speaker 2: to the reports, according allegedly, who has encouraged this kind
14:25
Speaker 2: of behavior, who has encouraged this anti Semitic, anti Israel,
14:34
Speaker 2: anti Jew conversation. It's awful, and yet there are still
14:42
Speaker 2: people on the left that will continue to vote for
14:47
Speaker 2: the party that is defending this. I don't understand. I mean,
14:53
Speaker 2: I know there was a percentage of the Jewish vote,
14:56
Speaker 2: normally a solid Locke for the left that voted for
15:00
Speaker 2: Trump this time. I don't know exactly what the percentage was.
15:03
Speaker 2: Was it enough to have an impact on some of
15:06
Speaker 2: these battleground states? Possibly? It's interesting Kamala Harris maybe could
15:14
Speaker 2: have carried a couple of states that she didn't carry
15:17
Speaker 2: if she had picked Shapiro, Governor Shapiro to be a
15:20
Speaker 2: running mate. But there was a conscious decision by somebody
15:24
Speaker 2: not to include the Jewish guy. Maybe that was going
15:29
Speaker 2: to be enough to turn the election. I don't know.
15:34
Speaker 2: It doesn't seem to be the case once the results
15:36
Speaker 2: came in, But there was a point where it certainly
15:39
Speaker 2: seemed like that was a real possibility that if he
15:42
Speaker 2: got in the race, maybe it could have been a
15:46
Speaker 2: different outcome. A lot of people are talking about him
15:49
Speaker 2: as being the Democrat candidate in four years. Could that
15:57
Speaker 2: even happen? The way things are going, Democrats are gonna
16:01
Speaker 2: have to make a drastic change in the way that
16:04
Speaker 2: they conduct themselves. Are they going to still be supporting Hamas?
16:12
Speaker 2: Are they going to still be supporting terrorism against Jewish people?
16:17
Speaker 2: Are they gonna still be supporting people who want to
16:19
Speaker 2: see them dead? Are they going to still be defending
16:23
Speaker 2: Syrian nationals who get a green card and think that
16:26
Speaker 2: means they have all the rights of an American citizen.
16:28
Speaker 2: You don't. My wife became an American citizen from Australia.
16:35
Speaker 2: She got a permanent residency. She was on a work
16:38
Speaker 2: visa for a while, then she got a permanent residency,
16:40
Speaker 2: she got a green card. You know what they told
16:43
Speaker 2: us when she got her green card, she couldn't do
16:47
Speaker 2: these kind of things. She wasn't allowed to do these
16:49
Speaker 2: kind of things. She had to stay out of trouble.
16:52
Speaker 2: She couldn't do things that were gonna put her on
16:54
Speaker 2: the radar, and we did not. We were married at
16:59
Speaker 2: the time. We did her three years and she became
17:02
Speaker 2: a citizen. But one of the things that you couldn't
17:06
Speaker 2: do was get on the radar. You couldn't do these
17:11
Speaker 2: sorts of things. That was frowned upon support being someone
17:16
Speaker 2: seen as a supporter of terrorism. So yes, State Department
17:22
Speaker 2: announced they'll revoke his green card student visa and they
17:26
Speaker 2: basically said, according to Homeland Security that it's activities aligned
17:32
Speaker 2: to hamas a designated terrorist organization. So you can't do that.
17:40
Speaker 2: They tell you that up front, you can't be surprised,
17:44
Speaker 2: you can't be shocked when you drive through parts of
17:47
Speaker 2: Columbus and it's by through a school zone and it's
17:51
Speaker 2: got the signs that say there's cameras up and that
17:53
Speaker 2: they're active now, and then suddenly you get a you
17:58
Speaker 2: get a ticket in the mail, and I can't go.
18:00
Speaker 2: I I didn't know it was illegal to speed in
18:03
Speaker 2: those school zones. Who knew? Now that the cameras are
18:08
Speaker 2: a whole different issue. There's a whole nother issue with
18:11
Speaker 2: those cameras, but that's another show on another day. But
18:15
Speaker 2: my point here is you can't be surprised that you
18:19
Speaker 2: got people that are ready to kick you out of
18:22
Speaker 2: the country. You can't be surprised that you're going to
18:25
Speaker 2: lose your green card. You're probably gonna have to you know,
18:29
Speaker 2: when your kids born, let them decide do they want
18:31
Speaker 2: to be a Syrian citizen or do they want to
18:34
Speaker 2: stay here without you. I mean, these are things that
18:37
Speaker 2: maybe he's going to have to decide. All allegedly got
18:41
Speaker 2: to get all the allegedlies in right, But according to
18:45
Speaker 2: the State Department, this is who he is. And I
18:49
Speaker 2: can tell you if this is who he is, someone
18:52
Speaker 2: told him when he got his green card that this
18:55
Speaker 2: kind of behavior was not going to be tolerated. Today's

21:13
Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
21:16
Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
21:18
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
21:22
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
21:24
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
21:26
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
21:30
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
21:34
Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got with colder or
21:37
Speaker 2: warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
21:41
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
21:43
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
21:47
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
21:49
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
21:53
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
21:55
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid, you'd
21:58
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
21:59
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
22:02
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
22:05
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
22:08
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
22:11
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
22:14
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five

22:25
Speaker 2: after the break. A new survey done by Capitol One
22:36
Speaker 2: found that one third of apparel and clothing items purchased
22:39
Speaker 2: last year in the US were second hand. In twenty
22:42
Speaker 2: twenty three, the secondhand market generated an estimated fifty three
22:46
Speaker 2: billion dollars in America. By twenty twenty eight, it'd be
22:50
Speaker 2: projected to be worth seventy three billion dollars. Is that
22:55
Speaker 2: a reflection on where we were as a society economically. Possibly,
22:59
Speaker 2: I would think it has to be reflected in that somewhere.
23:03
Speaker 2: I do remember in my teenage years, back in those
23:06
Speaker 2: grunge years, there were a lot of kids that I
23:09
Speaker 2: knew that loved going to the second hand shops for
23:14
Speaker 2: their clothes. They loved shopping in those stores. It was
23:17
Speaker 2: trendy back then. I don't know if it's trendy now
23:20
Speaker 2: or if it's just people are broken. They want to
23:22
Speaker 2: buy eggs and they can't decide between a shirt and eggs,
23:27
Speaker 2: So maybe that's what it comes down to. Price of
23:29
Speaker 2: eggs did go up just a little bit, by the way.
23:31
Speaker 2: I know people are trying to blame this administration for that,
23:34
Speaker 2: but it continues to be a bird flu situation Avian
23:37
Speaker 2: flu and previous administration killing a bunch of birds to
23:42
Speaker 2: deal with that. Again, I can't tell you if that's
23:44
Speaker 2: the right move or wrong move, but it probably had
23:47
Speaker 2: something to do with the price of eggs going up,
23:49
Speaker 2: I would assume. So, hey, do you want kinder, friendlier
23:53
Speaker 2: and more considerate kids. They say adding fish to their
23:57
Speaker 2: diet would help. According to a study from the University
23:59
Speaker 2: of Bristol, Children who eat seafood regularly are more likely
24:03
Speaker 2: to be helpful, sharing and considerate. Why does fish have
24:08
Speaker 2: this effect. It's about the nutrients. Fish packed with essential
24:11
Speaker 2: goodies like omega three, fatty acids, iodine, and selenium, which
24:16
Speaker 2: are not only crucial for brain development, also seeming to
24:19
Speaker 2: enhance social behaviors like kindness and compassion. The magic number
24:23
Speaker 2: is two servings of fish per week. Kids who didn't
24:26
Speaker 2: need any seafood by age seven or thirty five percent
24:29
Speaker 2: more likely to show poor social behavior and just be jerks. No,
24:33
Speaker 2: it doesn't say that it stops the behavior. This jumped
24:35
Speaker 2: to forty three percent by age nine. So if you
24:37
Speaker 2: want your little ones to be friendliest on the playground,
24:40
Speaker 2: maybe time to introduce some fish to their meals. Or
24:45
Speaker 2: maybe don't ramble and vent and talk about politics in
24:49
Speaker 2: front of them, because that, I think also has something
24:52
Speaker 2: to do with some of this. That's where they get
24:54
Speaker 2: their fears and their worries about all this come. That's
24:57
Speaker 2: what happens. People got to realize, do that. You know
25:02
Speaker 2: my kids have been accused of being racist at school.
25:07
Speaker 2: I can promise you my kids are not racist in
25:11
Speaker 2: the very least, And I don't know that they even note, well,
25:17
Speaker 2: I don't know the people calling him racist are probably racist,
25:19
Speaker 2: but they don't know any racist people. So it's just
25:23
Speaker 2: stuff that people are hearing. They're learning it from somewhere
25:26
Speaker 2: and spreading it around. And the kids that are calling
25:28
Speaker 2: other kids racists and they're picking it up from somewhere.
25:32
Speaker 2: We've all seen studies showing the negative effects of too
25:35
Speaker 2: much social media, but a new study from the University
25:38
Speaker 2: of British Columbia reveals that it's not just about how
25:40
Speaker 2: long you scroll, but how you use social media that
25:43
Speaker 2: really matters. Mindful engagement, like unfollowing those negative accounts and
25:48
Speaker 2: focusing on real interactions. Amen here here, I have been
25:53
Speaker 2: trying to tell people that the unfollow is your friend
25:57
Speaker 2: and it can help reduce fomo and loneliness. On the
26:00
Speaker 2: flip side, quitting social media entirely can lower anxiety and depression,
26:04
Speaker 2: but might make you feel a bit lonely. Basically, it's
26:08
Speaker 2: about a more balanced approach, a mix of limiting screen
26:10
Speaker 2: time and making sure when you do use social media
26:14
Speaker 2: it's a more positive experience. This is the sweet spot
26:17
Speaker 2: I try to stay in and I'm sorry. I love
26:21
Speaker 2: your pictures of your dogs, and your kids and your
26:23
Speaker 2: vacations and funny things that happen to you. Don't want
26:29
Speaker 2: your politics. I don't do it anymore. I used to
26:32
Speaker 2: do it a long time ago. I don't do it anymore.
26:35
Speaker 2: And if it's all politics, or a lot of politics,
26:37
Speaker 2: or nasty, mean politics, I'm probably not following you. It's
26:41
Speaker 2: just the sad reality of it. I can't do it.
26:44
Speaker 2: It will still be your friend, still love you. Just
26:47
Speaker 2: don't don't want to see it, don't want to hear it.
26:48
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter which side it's for. I just don't
26:50
Speaker 2: need it. All right. If you are drinking tonight, and
26:57
Speaker 2: maybe you could have used this over the weekend, but
26:59
Speaker 2: as it's St. Patrick's Day, they say, if you want
27:02
Speaker 2: to avoid hangovers, you should have a water sandwich tonight,
27:08
Speaker 2: basically to minimize hangover symptoms. Sandwich a full glass of
27:12
Speaker 2: water in between every alcoholic beverage. Doctors say there might
27:17
Speaker 2: be some truth to the strategy. Drinking water throughout the
27:20
Speaker 2: night will keep you hydrated, dehydration big cause of hangovers.
27:24
Speaker 2: It could also slow down your alcohol consumption because drinking
27:28
Speaker 2: water between drinks will make you feel full and cause
27:30
Speaker 2: you to drink a little bit less alcohol. With that set,
27:34
Speaker 2: it won't completely eliminate a hangover after a night of
27:36
Speaker 2: heavy drinking, though, because your body still has to process
27:39
Speaker 2: that alcohol. Although water may make you feel better, in general,
27:43
Speaker 2: it will slow the metabolism of alcohol, and that's what
27:48
Speaker 2: leads ultimately to hangovers. According to Jazzline soul One, the
27:53
Speaker 2: doctor of internal medicine who was quoted in this story,
27:58
Speaker 2: So water sandwich. Just remember hydrate, baby, hydrate. That'll do
28:04
Speaker 2: it for this Monday edition of the show. Thanks to

Speaker 2: our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch
