Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, sixteenth day of October. I'm west thanks for
0:14
Speaker 2: joining me. We thought it was becoming fall. I mean,
0:18
Speaker 2: it feels fallish now in the mornings. It's fallish. This
0:23
Speaker 2: is what we get. We get that false fall, and
0:25
Speaker 2: then it warms up again, and then we get, like,
0:27
Speaker 2: you know, another false fall and warms up again. We
0:30
Speaker 2: get a couple of those, and then it finally makes
0:33
Speaker 2: its way into the actual fall, which lasts about an
0:37
Speaker 2: hour and a half, and then it's just winter. That's
0:39
Speaker 2: kind of the way it works, those of you who
0:42
Speaker 2: were new to the area. That's typically sort of the
0:45
Speaker 2: way things play out. Speaking of winter one of the
0:50
Speaker 2: great traditions, and I guess technically it still happens in fall,
0:53
Speaker 2: although I think of winter is December, January, February. That's
0:58
Speaker 2: my mindset. I know that there's an astronomical thing, there's
1:01
Speaker 2: a you know, the weather people have their days that
1:04
Speaker 2: they talk about. I get all that, I understand, but
1:09
Speaker 2: I still think of I'm on the three month system,
1:13
Speaker 2: and I think of winter as December January, February. Those
1:16
Speaker 2: are the three coldest months typically, right, and then it
1:19
Speaker 2: makes sense then March, April May is spring, and then June, July,
1:23
Speaker 2: August the hottest months. It just fits my system works.
1:28
Speaker 2: I don't have to go with the astronomical stuff. I understand.
1:32
Speaker 2: I do get that there's an astronomical thing at play,
1:36
Speaker 2: and for some parts of the world those probably fit
1:39
Speaker 2: exactly with what's going on weather wise. It's not the
1:43
Speaker 2: case for us, and I just I think of us,
1:47
Speaker 2: even though I know, as I just pointed out, it's
1:50
Speaker 2: not very fall like necessarily, but we'll hit this October November,
1:56
Speaker 2: and I think it's really September is kind of the beginning.
1:59
Speaker 2: I know, it's the art of the burn months. It
2:01
Speaker 2: starts to get a little bit of a break. Sometimes
2:04
Speaker 2: it's not an exact science. It's not a science that
2:07
Speaker 2: all the science has its days. I get that. But
2:11
Speaker 2: my point is for me, December is when we officially
2:18
Speaker 2: start winter, and that means it's time to start thinking
2:23
Speaker 2: about one of the great Christmas time family traditions, the Nutcracker,
2:27
Speaker 2: and you can get your tickets now. It is coming
2:32
Speaker 2: up on the thirteenth and fourteenth of December, and those
2:36
Speaker 2: are the two shows open to the public. There are
2:39
Speaker 2: a couple of other shows that are like there's a
2:42
Speaker 2: school show, there's a show on the evening of Friday,
2:47
Speaker 2: but it's not the shows that you can buy tickets
2:50
Speaker 2: for Saturday and Sunday, an evening show, Saturday matinee show
2:55
Speaker 2: on Sunday. And it's a reminder. You want to get
2:58
Speaker 2: your tickets from the Rivercenter dot org. No Rivercenter dot org.
3:05
Speaker 2: And then you also have Thecolumbus Ballet dot org. There's
3:12
Speaker 2: no v for it's just Rivercenter dot org. If you
3:14
Speaker 2: buy the tickets from anywhere else, you run the risk
3:18
Speaker 2: of putting yourself in a position where you end up
3:23
Speaker 2: paying too much. You don't want to overpay. If your
3:26
Speaker 2: ticket prices it's one hundred dollars to sit up in
3:28
Speaker 2: the balcony, that's not the real ticket price. Someone has
3:32
Speaker 2: bought the ticket and they're reselling the ticket, and you
3:34
Speaker 2: don't want to do that. This will be my seventh
3:37
Speaker 2: year in the role of Mother Ginger, the biggest star
3:40
Speaker 2: in the show. Literally. I got that joke from my
3:44
Speaker 2: friend Lufarigno, who at every convention he goes to says,
3:48
Speaker 2: I'm the biggest star there and literally and I will
3:53
Speaker 2: be a bigger than ever thanks to my next surgery.
3:56
Speaker 2: I'm now three quarters of an inch taller than I was,
3:59
Speaker 2: and shows they've readded my old height. I was down
4:05
Speaker 2: three quarters of an inch. They have added that back.
4:08
Speaker 2: My surgeon took care of that for me, and I
4:11
Speaker 2: appreciate that. It's just part of fixing what was wrong
4:14
Speaker 2: with my neck. But still, you know, stretch me out
4:17
Speaker 2: a little bit so I'll be taller than ever on
4:20
Speaker 2: stage on the stilts in the Nutcracker. We look forward
4:24
Speaker 2: to seeing you there this December. Get your tickets Thecolumbus
4:28
Speaker 2: Ballet dot org or Rivercenter dot org. That's how it
4:32
Speaker 2: goes right. You don't have to put THEE or Columbus,
4:35
Speaker 2: it's just Rivercenter dot org. And you can also get
4:38
Speaker 2: them at the River Center box office. That's another place
4:40
Speaker 2: you can safely get your tickets without getting ripped off.
4:44
Speaker 2: I got a couple of questions as we move on
4:46
Speaker 2: into the topic for today, because we have now had
4:51
Speaker 2: Governor Pritzker in Illinois start making threats in the direction
4:56
Speaker 2: of ice agents, and I think this is first of all,
5:00
Speaker 2: he's done many things to put them in jeopardy to
5:04
Speaker 2: put their lives in danger. He's done these things where
5:06
Speaker 2: he's you know, still continues to call them names that
5:10
Speaker 2: sound threatening. He's used Gestapo type language all along. I
5:17
Speaker 2: know it was Gavin Newsom, and I think Pritzker has
5:20
Speaker 2: also been doing it. But you've had these people that
5:22
Speaker 2: are saying, you know, take the masks off. Why are
5:24
Speaker 2: you you know, you're you look like armed thugs. You're
5:26
Speaker 2: going in, You're grabbing people off the street. It's like,
5:29
Speaker 2: you know, Nazi regime. It's like, you know, fascist takeover.
5:38
Speaker 2: Whatever they want to call it, they want it to sound,
5:41
Speaker 2: you know, as horrible as possible because they think that
5:45
Speaker 2: this is the strategy that is going to end up
5:49
Speaker 2: getting them a chance to be nominated to be the
5:52
Speaker 2: Democrat nominee for president in a few years. We're still
5:56
Speaker 2: in the first year of Trump's term. He's got three
6:00
Speaker 2: more to go. I know, we get this, We're going
6:02
Speaker 2: to do this midterm thing. I feel like these are
6:05
Speaker 2: people that aren't looking out for the midterm elections. They're
6:09
Speaker 2: looking out solely for themselves. They're only worried about their future.
6:14
Speaker 2: That's how I feel. I don't know that anything that
6:17
Speaker 2: they're doing threatening ice, trying to put ice in crosshairs,
6:21
Speaker 2: trying to put them in danger. I don't think that's
6:23
Speaker 2: doing anything to help the Democrat Party moving forward. Gavin Newsom,
6:29
Speaker 2: who you know, is trying to do everything he can
6:31
Speaker 2: do to be Trump. He's trying to mimic Trump, he's
6:35
Speaker 2: trying to do all these things. Just go be your
6:37
Speaker 2: own guy. You're this like smarmy Weazley. I've said this before.
6:44
Speaker 2: I feel like if the devil was walking on Earth,
6:47
Speaker 2: he would look like Gavin Newsom. He's just this slick
6:51
Speaker 2: you know, he's not a bad looking guy. He's slick.
6:54
Speaker 2: He's got the slick back hair. Everything about him lies
6:58
Speaker 2: with ease. Says things on his podcast and press conferences,
7:03
Speaker 2: just the things that come out of his mouth. You know,
7:06
Speaker 2: he did this thing where he said at no point
7:09
Speaker 2: and did he say certain things? And then they went
7:12
Speaker 2: back and they said, here's all the different times that
7:15
Speaker 2: you said all these things, and that's happened now, you know,
7:19
Speaker 2: multiple times. And that's him. He's just slick. He's he's this,
7:25
Speaker 2: he's just this slimy. You know. There's so many adjectives
7:31
Speaker 2: I'd like to use, but I don't. I don't want
7:34
Speaker 2: to insult other groups. I don't want to insult other professions.
7:39
Speaker 2: I should say, I just don't want to do that.
7:42
Speaker 2: I don't want to. But there's certain groups that he
7:44
Speaker 2: just feels like. He just feels like one of those,
7:47
Speaker 2: you know, just little weasly guys. That's what he looks like.
7:51
Speaker 2: He looks like the devil personified. That's what he looks like.
7:55
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying he's the devil. That's just what
7:57
Speaker 2: he looks like. But he does tell life. I'm not
8:01
Speaker 2: saying anything to try to put his life in danger.
8:03
Speaker 2: That's not who I'm about. That's not what I think
8:06
Speaker 2: any of us should be about. I don't think he
8:09
Speaker 2: would do the same by asking ICE agents in California
8:13
Speaker 2: to have to take off their masks when they're doing
8:15
Speaker 2: their job so that people can dox them and threaten
8:17
Speaker 2: them and go to their houses and potentially hurt them
8:20
Speaker 2: and kill them. I think that's you know, that's a
8:24
Speaker 2: whole different extreme to my approach to it, where I
8:27
Speaker 2: just say, you know, let him run his case, let
8:30
Speaker 2: him run his campaign. That's what he's gonna do. That's
8:32
Speaker 2: who he thinks he's supposed to be. He already during
8:36
Speaker 2: Biden's term. He went to the White House. He took
8:41
Speaker 2: pictures at the White House. Biden was out of town,
8:43
Speaker 2: one of his first trips out of the country, and
8:46
Speaker 2: they took Newsom prepping him to run for president. They
8:49
Speaker 2: took him, he walked around. I think he sat at
8:51
Speaker 2: the desk in the chair and had his coat over
8:53
Speaker 2: his shoulder, and he walked around, and they took lots
8:55
Speaker 2: of photos of him, giving him these opportunities look really presidential.
9:00
Speaker 2: I think he left the pitchfork at home. That's a
9:02
Speaker 2: good idea. You really don't want to have the pitchfork.
9:07
Speaker 2: You know. They body they did body paint to cover
9:10
Speaker 2: up all the red on his skin, hid the horns
9:13
Speaker 2: under that hair. They did all those things and got
9:17
Speaker 2: him ready, and then he didn't end up being the candidate.
9:19
Speaker 2: I mean, I think he thought that's what was gonna happen.
9:21
Speaker 2: But anyway, so you got that, and then you got
9:24
Speaker 2: Pritzker in Illinois, who has also done everything he can
9:27
Speaker 2: to try to put ICE agents in danger, and now
9:30
Speaker 2: just to make it worse, he's threatening them. He's basically
9:34
Speaker 2: saying Trump's not going to be president forever, and once
9:36
Speaker 2: he's not president, I'm gonna come after you. He's set
9:41
Speaker 2: the table for some sort of a revenge on ICE
9:45
Speaker 2: agents that come to Illinois to do their job, federal employees,
9:49
Speaker 2: federal agents, federal law enforcement to come into his state
9:56
Speaker 2: and do their job. And he's trying to say he'll
9:59
Speaker 2: go out after him. I mean, where does he draw
10:04
Speaker 2: the line. Would he do it to police officers, would
10:06
Speaker 2: he do it to his own security team. I'm not
10:09
Speaker 2: saying that they should do this, and I'm certainly not
10:11
Speaker 2: saying that we should do anything to put him in jeopardy.
10:14
Speaker 2: But my question is, if you're part of his security team,
10:18
Speaker 2: if you're someone whose job is to protect the governor,
10:22
Speaker 2: wouldn't you be tempted to just maybe, you know, walk
10:25
Speaker 2: off the job, just kind of wander off down the street,
10:28
Speaker 2: stop paying attention. Maybe you and everyone else just roam off,
10:33
Speaker 2: and especially if you're in a busy area, lots of
10:36
Speaker 2: people around, and just kind of let him fend for himself,
10:39
Speaker 2: let him see how it feels. Now, nothing's going to
10:43
Speaker 2: happen to him. Of course, I don't know. I wouldn't
10:46
Speaker 2: think so. I would hope not. And you probably are
10:49
Speaker 2: going to lose job and get fired, so that part
10:51
Speaker 2: of it doesn't work. But I mean it's basically the
10:56
Speaker 2: kind of corner he's painting some of these law enforcement
10:59
Speaker 2: people in and if they want to have any loyalty
11:01
Speaker 2: to each other, I mean, how can you feel like
11:06
Speaker 2: you were part of law enforcement if you're ICE, if
11:09
Speaker 2: you're being threatened for doing your job, which is taking
11:16
Speaker 2: care of removing people from the country who are here illegally,
11:21
Speaker 2: especially people who have broken laws other than just being
11:25
Speaker 2: here now some of them just for being here. Yes,
11:28
Speaker 2: it's a misdemeanor. We covered that yesterday with Don Lemon,
11:32
Speaker 2: who has no understanding of what a misdemeanor is. I mean,
11:37
Speaker 2: he knows Missy Elliott, but that's it. That's all that
11:39
Speaker 2: he knows about misdemeanors. That's all he's got. But he
11:43
Speaker 2: doesn't seem to understand that, yes, a misdemeanor is in
11:46
Speaker 2: fact a crime. It's breaking the law. And when ICE
11:55
Speaker 2: agents show up to do their job or federal employees
11:58
Speaker 2: show up to do their job, you have a governor
12:02
Speaker 2: in Illinois who badly wants to be president. He's trying
12:05
Speaker 2: to be tough, he's trying to show how tough he is.
12:08
Speaker 2: Boy I'm gonna be Trump and I'm gonna be tough.
12:12
Speaker 2: It's so funny, isn't it. The person that they hate
12:15
Speaker 2: and they hate so much. They hate him so much.
12:21
Speaker 2: We haven't even gotten a year. It's almost there, but
12:24
Speaker 2: we're not even a year past the election, and they're
12:27
Speaker 2: still so mad and they hate him so much. And
12:32
Speaker 2: the best strategy that they've come up with is to
12:35
Speaker 2: try to be all tough. And I mean, that's that's
12:38
Speaker 2: the best they've got. That's all that they've got is
12:42
Speaker 2: to try let's see how tough. I'm gonna make all
12:44
Speaker 2: these threats and I'm gonna try to seem like I'm
12:46
Speaker 2: a real I'm a tough guy. That's what I am.
12:50
Speaker 2: I am so tough. I'm so tough. I could play
12:55
Speaker 2: quarterback for Georgia. I don't know that that's the adject
13:00
Speaker 2: to that they say. Watch a Georgia game and listen
13:02
Speaker 2: to how many times they they say the word tough
13:05
Speaker 2: when talking about Gunner. But anyway, Oh, it's just good.
13:09
Speaker 2: It's a good quality to have to be a tough quarterback.
13:12
Speaker 2: You want that the Rothless Burgers and you know, the
13:16
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's. You want a tough quarterback. It's just, you know,
13:20
Speaker 2: they say it a lot. Every announcer has to say
13:23
Speaker 2: the word tough a lot. And that's what these governors
13:25
Speaker 2: want to be. They want to be tough. They want
13:27
Speaker 2: to flex and show how tough they are. That's their objective.
13:32
Speaker 2: Back over to California, doesn't the governor have other things
13:35
Speaker 2: to do? Don't we have the Olympics coming up? I
13:40
Speaker 2: mean we're we're, you know, less than three years away
13:43
Speaker 2: from the Olympics and LA is hosting it. Didn't a
13:47
Speaker 2: large part of LA burn to the ground because of
13:51
Speaker 2: his and other people's incompetence and lack of preparation. Shouldn't
13:56
Speaker 2: they be getting LA rebuilt in time for the Olympics.
13:59
Speaker 2: I mean, I would think it's going to take at
14:01
Speaker 2: least three years to get everything ready. I don't know
14:06
Speaker 2: the people, the conspiracy people who think this was all
14:08
Speaker 2: a strategic burn intentionally, I mean, they would argue that, yeah,
14:13
Speaker 2: it doesn't, you don't need to. I mean, you're kind
14:15
Speaker 2: of fueling their fire, no pun intended. If you really
14:19
Speaker 2: if the things that need to be rebuilt aren't important
14:22
Speaker 2: for the Olympics, because some of those people have pointed
14:25
Speaker 2: that out, and if there's no big rush. By the way,
14:30
Speaker 2: there's there's no state in the Union, no state at
14:36
Speaker 2: all that it's harder to get anything done in They
14:39
Speaker 2: have so many restrictions, they have so many things they
14:42
Speaker 2: have to follow, Like it's just you have to get
14:45
Speaker 2: you know, permission, to get permission, to get permission, to
14:47
Speaker 2: get permission to do things in LA or in California,
14:51
Speaker 2: but especially in LA they have to I don't know
14:53
Speaker 2: New York may in New York, New Jersey may be harder,
14:56
Speaker 2: but anyway, it'd be even harder when when they get
14:59
Speaker 2: the communists mayor that's coming soon. So I'm sorry Democratic exsumptionalists.
15:05
Speaker 2: It's definitely not a code word for communists, like Martin
15:08
Speaker 2: Luther King said, So that's the thing for Martin Luther,
15:12
Speaker 2: you we're supposed to ignore. So then also the World Cup,
15:18
Speaker 2: there'll be the World Cup. They'll be like six matches.
15:20
Speaker 2: I think they're going to be there next year, next year,
15:23
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, next year World Cup. People coming from
15:28
Speaker 2: around the world to a city that's you know, just
15:30
Speaker 2: burned to the ground because of his incompetence and the
15:34
Speaker 2: mayor's incompetence, and so he doesn't have anything else to do.
15:38
Speaker 2: Is he just is someone else handling all that and
15:41
Speaker 2: he's just making podcasts and public appearances and attacking Joe Rogan.
15:47
Speaker 2: That's the best he's got. He's got nothing else to do.
15:50
Speaker 2: These other things. We don't have to get this stuff rebuilt.
15:54
Speaker 2: He's just got nothing to do but run for president.
15:57
Speaker 2: It's a good sign. That's the kind of leader that
15:59
Speaker 2: we we really need, is someone who's just worried about
16:02
Speaker 2: whatever the next job is. Today's show brought to you

Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
18:30
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
18:33
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
18:37
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
18:40
Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got. With colder or
18:43
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
18:47
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
18:49
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
18:53
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
18:55
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know,
18:59
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
19:01
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid. You'd
19:04
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
19:05
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in They can do that
19:08
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
19:11
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
19:14
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
19:17
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
19:20
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty

19:31
Speaker 2: right after the break, Well, this is a little bit
19:41
Speaker 2: of a scary trend. Young adults looking for roommates to
19:45
Speaker 2: split their rent are becoming more likely to find someone
19:51
Speaker 2: twice their age to live with, according to new data.
19:57
Speaker 2: That's because older Americans fifty five and up fastest growing
20:00
Speaker 2: group in the US rental market. As older people are
20:04
Speaker 2: finding housing to be less affordable, more of them turning
20:07
Speaker 2: to rentals and looking for roommates. The US Census Bureau
20:11
Speaker 2: says that between twenty thirteen and twenty twenty three, the
20:15
Speaker 2: number of renters age sixty five and over increase by
20:18
Speaker 2: two point four million, a thirty percent increase from a
20:22
Speaker 2: decade prior. While the twenty and thirty somethings still dominate
20:27
Speaker 2: the rental market. More boomers are moving in now. It's
20:33
Speaker 2: interesting the creativity here when you start trying to, you know,
20:38
Speaker 2: mix these two groups together. I'll say this. I would
20:42
Speaker 2: think this just me. I'm not in this fifty five
20:46
Speaker 2: and up age group just yet, but I would think
20:50
Speaker 2: it might be a little harder for the boomer age
20:53
Speaker 2: group to move in with someone younger. I would think
20:58
Speaker 2: the younger people are getting a bit of a win
21:01
Speaker 2: here because you know that those boomers are probably going
21:05
Speaker 2: to pay the bills on time, have an understanding of
21:10
Speaker 2: what it means to pay those bills, and have good
21:13
Speaker 2: credit and all those things. Now, they also might be
21:15
Speaker 2: looking at you funny if you're playing video games all day,
21:19
Speaker 2: just pointing that out. Just be aware. But it's a
21:21
Speaker 2: little bit of a scary trend, isn't it. Well, you
21:24
Speaker 2: might be getting more than just some extra protein when
21:27
Speaker 2: you use a protein powder to boost your smoothie. Consumer
21:30
Speaker 2: Reports tested twenty three popular protein powders and ready to
21:35
Speaker 2: drink shakes and found that more than two thirds of
21:38
Speaker 2: them contain more lead in a single serving than experts
21:43
Speaker 2: say is safe to have in a day. The worst
21:46
Speaker 2: offenders in the tests were naked nutritions, vegan mass gainer powder,
21:53
Speaker 2: and it gives the breakdown seven point seven micrograms of
21:56
Speaker 2: lead per serving. That's fifteen hundred and seventy percent above
22:00
Speaker 2: Consumer reports level of concern. Fuel's black addition, which contains
22:05
Speaker 2: six point three micrograms of lead, or about twelve hundred
22:09
Speaker 2: and ninety percent over the daily lead limit. Consumer Reports
22:12
Speaker 2: did add there's no reason to panic if you've been
22:15
Speaker 2: using any of the products that they tested. Many of
22:17
Speaker 2: the powders are fine to have occasionally, but if you
22:21
Speaker 2: are loading up on them, and it's interesting. I mean,
22:24
Speaker 2: I know that there's going to be a lead amount
22:27
Speaker 2: that is considered okay, But does it make you feel
22:32
Speaker 2: It makes me feel weird. I mean, it just makes
22:35
Speaker 2: me feel if I know there's lead paint on the wall,
22:37
Speaker 2: I don't go licking the wall. That's all I'm saying.
22:39
Speaker 2: Maybe there's a safe amount of wall licking you can do.
22:43
Speaker 2: That's all I'm getting at. That's just my thought on it. Well,
22:46
Speaker 2: it's almost Halloween's scary movie season is upon us, and
22:50
Speaker 2: it turns out watching them does give us more than
22:54
Speaker 2: a good scare, could be fueling actual fears, especially fear
22:58
Speaker 2: of the dark. A recent survey found that nearly three
23:02
Speaker 2: in ten adults still admit to being afraid of the dark. Interestingly,
23:06
Speaker 2: men were slightly more likely than women to say this
23:09
Speaker 2: thirty three percent to twenty six percent to cope, twenty
23:13
Speaker 2: five percent sleep with a night light, and about ten
23:15
Speaker 2: percent keep the lights on all night, with men again
23:20
Speaker 2: more likely to do this than women. Eleven percent of
23:22
Speaker 2: those surveyed admit they still sleep with a stuffed animal
23:25
Speaker 2: or a comfort item. While the survey looked at how
23:30
Speaker 2: scary movies, especially around Halloween, might be contributing to the fears,
23:33
Speaker 2: twenty eight percent of respondent said they love horror films
23:36
Speaker 2: and try to watch as many as possible. I do
23:41
Speaker 2: find it interesting when these surveys come out and the
23:44
Speaker 2: number of people that seem willing to open up about
23:48
Speaker 2: things like things that you once would have never said
23:51
Speaker 2: out loud. You know, people in that boomer group probably
23:56
Speaker 2: aren't opening up to the twenty somethings when they're mates
24:00
Speaker 2: about how they have to have a night light. That's
24:02
Speaker 2: all I'm saying. Well, forget about hot cocoa and bacon cookies.
24:06
Speaker 2: The winter arc trend is about to get ahead start
24:12
Speaker 2: as far as you start preparing for those new year's
24:14
Speaker 2: resolutions this time of year, with temperatures starting to drop
24:17
Speaker 2: in days, it was warm yesterday and it's gonna be
24:19
Speaker 2: warm again today. But that's just here, well not just here,
24:24
Speaker 2: but that's what's called living in Georgia this time of year. Well.
24:27
Speaker 2: As temps are starting to drop in, days get shorter,
24:30
Speaker 2: people tend to let go a bit, relaxing in terms
24:33
Speaker 2: of their goals and indulging in holiday excesses until the
24:36
Speaker 2: new year. And the Winter arc is actually about shaking
24:40
Speaker 2: that up. Instead of waiting until January, people are supposed
24:43
Speaker 2: to use the last three months of the year to
24:46
Speaker 2: kickstart those healthier habits and routines, from exercise to sleep
24:50
Speaker 2: and screen time. The idea is that you beat the
24:53
Speaker 2: winter blues as they start to emerge, and then you
24:57
Speaker 2: become a better version of yourself by the time the
25:02
Speaker 2: new year starts. That's the strategy anyway, Good luck. That'll
25:07
Speaker 2: do it for this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks
