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: Tuesday morning, twenty ninth day of October. I'm Wes, thanks
0:14
Speaker 2: for joining me. We are one week away from election day.
0:20
Speaker 2: A lot of early votes have been cast. I've done mine.
0:25
Speaker 2: Jill and I did hours together. It's always fun when
0:29
Speaker 2: you got someone who has gone through the proper channels
0:33
Speaker 2: to immigrate to a country and become a citizen and
0:37
Speaker 2: call that place home, and then they get an opportunity
0:40
Speaker 2: to vote, and then you get to share that with them.
0:42
Speaker 2: And this is She's voted obviously in primaries and some
0:47
Speaker 2: of the other elections, but her second presidential election, she
0:52
Speaker 2: did the midterms and she's done some of the primary things.
0:54
Speaker 2: But here we are a week away, and if you
0:59
Speaker 2: haven't done your early vote, I know there's still people
1:02
Speaker 2: screaming you get those early mail in ballots turned in,
1:08
Speaker 2: turn them in wherever you can in a safe and
1:11
Speaker 2: secure location and make sure it gets counted. All that stuff, right,
1:15
Speaker 2: I mean, that's sadly where we are with all of this.
1:18
Speaker 2: It's one of the things that makes me not so confident.
1:23
Speaker 2: I did a mail in ballot for the primary in
1:28
Speaker 2: the presidential election in twenty twenty, largely because it was
1:35
Speaker 2: offered and I thought, well, we'll see how this goes.
1:38
Speaker 2: Do I have any confidence that my vote was counted
1:41
Speaker 2: and the ballot was probably processed, I assume, so I
1:45
Speaker 2: guess I could go in and check. I never really
1:47
Speaker 2: thought to do that, but when it actually came for,
1:50
Speaker 2: you know, voting, on election day, I went in and
1:53
Speaker 2: cast my vote because I just didn't have a lot
1:56
Speaker 2: of confidence in it. I have less confidence in all
1:58
Speaker 2: of it, not so much in I think George has
2:01
Speaker 2: done some things to try to fine tune all that,
2:03
Speaker 2: but I do know that there are some states that
2:06
Speaker 2: don't necessarily have all of that fine tuned, and that's
2:09
Speaker 2: something that we have to be concerned about. Polling, however,
2:15
Speaker 2: certainly gives an indication that the Harris campaign feels like
2:22
Speaker 2: they're in trouble. She was asked just in the last
2:25
Speaker 2: couple of days about the polls, and she said, I
2:32
Speaker 2: go on instincts. I don't go by poles. I go
2:35
Speaker 2: by instinct. That is what someone says when the polls
2:38
Speaker 2: don't look good for them. Now, I understand you could
2:42
Speaker 2: be a candidate that doesn't tend to poll well in
2:44
Speaker 2: spite of the numbers and those sorts of things. Trump
2:47
Speaker 2: is one of those people. But even Trump says, I
2:50
Speaker 2: don't go by the trop polls, but they look pretty
2:52
Speaker 2: good right now. So and that's the reality. That's where
2:55
Speaker 2: things are. Does it mean that you should not still vote?
2:59
Speaker 2: You need to make sure that you're doing that. Okay,
3:02
Speaker 2: you just need to make sure that you're casting that vote.
3:06
Speaker 2: And I have said before and I will say again
3:08
Speaker 2: and again, I am not one of those people who says, everybody,
3:11
Speaker 2: you got to get out there and vote. I don't
3:13
Speaker 2: think so that's just not my thinking. I mean, I
3:15
Speaker 2: don't want anybody to be denied the ability to vote.
3:19
Speaker 2: I just don't want the uninformed to run in and
3:23
Speaker 2: just you know, vote for you know, party lines, or
3:27
Speaker 2: vote based on historically what their expectation is to do
3:31
Speaker 2: based on their gender, their race, their sexual orientation, any
3:36
Speaker 2: of that stuff. That's a dumb reason about what people
3:39
Speaker 2: would say to me and my bride after we had
3:43
Speaker 2: two boys, and they would say, well, you gotta have
3:46
Speaker 2: one more and try for that girl. And that's a
3:49
Speaker 2: terrible reason to have a child. We'd love to have
3:53
Speaker 2: had a girl. We had planned to have two children.
3:55
Speaker 2: We hoped and prayed for two healthy children. That's what
3:58
Speaker 2: we got and we were we were done. It was
4:02
Speaker 2: going to be two boys, two girls, one of each.
4:06
Speaker 2: Whatever the end result was. The plan was for two kids.
4:11
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people plan for two kids
4:13
Speaker 2: and then sometimes they end up with three kids. And
4:15
Speaker 2: if that's how it had worked out, that's how it
4:17
Speaker 2: would have worked out. But we can't think of a
4:21
Speaker 2: worse reason to keep having children is that you're al,
4:24
Speaker 2: we just have to have that girl. You got to
4:25
Speaker 2: keep doing it. We have friends, two of my closest
4:29
Speaker 2: friends in the world had two boys and then and
4:34
Speaker 2: had a girl and a great fantastic for them, and they're,
4:39
Speaker 2: you know, very happy as a family of five now.
4:43
Speaker 2: And if we had known that would be the outcome,
4:47
Speaker 2: and we had decided we were going to have three children,
4:51
Speaker 2: and we would have, you know, we would have taken
4:53
Speaker 2: that shot. No, if we could have known, but not
4:57
Speaker 2: to try to have a kid just I mean, even
5:00
Speaker 2: if it was going to be a girl and we
5:02
Speaker 2: wanted two kids, why would you have why would you
5:04
Speaker 2: bring another life in just to have a girl, or
5:08
Speaker 2: I don't know. It just it's one of those. So
5:10
Speaker 2: I say that by saying, you know, when you say
5:14
Speaker 2: to people you should get out there and vote, not
5:17
Speaker 2: everybody should. People that have a clue what they're doing
5:20
Speaker 2: should vote. I don't want people just randomly doing this
5:24
Speaker 2: is what I'm supposed to do. I'm supposed to vote
5:26
Speaker 2: this way because this is what you're supposed to do,
5:28
Speaker 2: and this it's dumb. No, if you don't know what
5:32
Speaker 2: you're doing, you don't know what you're talking about, you
5:34
Speaker 2: don't have an opinion, you shouldn't just go vote. I
5:40
Speaker 2: mean you should if you want to, you're allowed to.
5:42
Speaker 2: That's not what I'm saying. I'm just pointing out the
5:44
Speaker 2: fact that these people put up these billboards we must
5:47
Speaker 2: vote right, and it's targeting specific people. They have certain
5:51
Speaker 2: things in mind. They have an idea of who you
5:54
Speaker 2: are with this particular billboard or that particular billboard, they
5:58
Speaker 2: want you to vote. My point is just, you know,
6:02
Speaker 2: voting for the sake of voting. Having a kid for
6:05
Speaker 2: the sake of having a kid. Oh man, what if
6:09
Speaker 2: you get a girl? It would have been great. We
6:10
Speaker 2: would have loved to have had a girl. If one
6:13
Speaker 2: of our two boys had been a girl, that would
6:15
Speaker 2: have been great. We're quite happy to be boy parents.
6:17
Speaker 2: That's fine too. That's the way it goes. So we're
6:22
Speaker 2: a week out and I want to talk about all
6:26
Speaker 2: of the conversation. All of the oxygen yesterday was being
6:33
Speaker 2: taken up by this rally that happened at Madison Square Garden,
6:40
Speaker 2: and this is I mean, there's a couple of areas
6:43
Speaker 2: with all of this that I feel like we have
6:46
Speaker 2: to kind of hash it out a little bit. You
6:48
Speaker 2: probably heard the headlines. Trump had a Hitler esque rally
6:54
Speaker 2: at Madison Square Garden full of anti semitism, misogyny, and
7:04
Speaker 2: it was like a Hitler rally happening at Madison Square Garden.
7:08
Speaker 2: So let's and both sides have spoken up about their
7:14
Speaker 2: lack of support for the comments that were made. Some
7:19
Speaker 2: of the comments. I'm going to stay far away from
7:22
Speaker 2: some of them, I don't. I mean, I can mention
7:24
Speaker 2: a little bit because you probably heard all. They said
7:26
Speaker 2: some terrible things about Puerto Rico, and it's important that
7:30
Speaker 2: we note that things were said about Puerto Rico because
7:33
Speaker 2: there's a very specific reason that that's being addressed. Okay,
7:37
Speaker 2: I just I feel like that needs to be Some
7:40
Speaker 2: of the other stuff is in there too, but there's
7:42
Speaker 2: a specific, very very specific response to what was said,
7:48
Speaker 2: and I feel like we have to kind of go
7:49
Speaker 2: into this a little bit. And I heard a few
7:52
Speaker 2: people say, why would some of the opening speakers for
7:56
Speaker 2: this huge event? And it was huge. There was nothing
7:59
Speaker 2: hitler or asque about it. It was just a massive
8:02
Speaker 2: gathering of Trump supporters in Madison Square Garden. One of
8:07
Speaker 2: the people that was chosen to be a part of
8:10
Speaker 2: this and I don't know who. I seriously doubt the
8:13
Speaker 2: campaign had anything to do with this, but there were
8:17
Speaker 2: some people. Doctor Phil gave a very passionate speech about
8:21
Speaker 2: why he loves America and that was a great speech.
8:26
Speaker 2: Nothing about Puerto Rico or Palestinians or none of that.
8:33
Speaker 2: Nothing about watermelons, None of the jokes that came from
8:36
Speaker 2: another speaker were part of Doctor Phil. Hul Cogan was there.
8:42
Speaker 2: I've hung out with Hulk Cogan on multiple occasions, interviewed him,
8:46
Speaker 2: hung out with him. I watched one of the infamous
8:50
Speaker 2: football games, think back to the Colts at the Buccaneers
8:57
Speaker 2: and the Peyton Manning comeback game. Was at that game
9:01
Speaker 2: with Hul Cogan anyway, not specifically with him. We were
9:05
Speaker 2: sitting in the same section, but uh, you know we
9:08
Speaker 2: got history, That's all I'm saying. Uh and I know
9:12
Speaker 2: his daughter too. Uh So anyway, we got hul Cogan
9:16
Speaker 2: was there, there were there were others that spoke, and
9:20
Speaker 2: of course, uh former President Trump was there. And this
9:23
Speaker 2: was a fun rally overall. This was one of those
9:27
Speaker 2: gatherings of supporters of a candidate that they're excited about.
9:31
Speaker 2: This isn't the like I guess I'll I've for Commela know.
9:35
Speaker 2: It wasn't those people that are showing up at these
9:38
Speaker 2: things or we're gonna get you, you you and you
9:41
Speaker 2: to sit right behind Tim Walls so that we get
9:45
Speaker 2: a certain uh you know, cross section of society to
9:49
Speaker 2: sit there and we want It wasn't that this was
9:52
Speaker 2: people that were excited. You know. This was a Trump rally,
9:56
Speaker 2: is what it was. Well, one of the speakers was
10:00
Speaker 2: a comedian and podcast host. Now keep in mind Trump
10:07
Speaker 2: has done a number of podcasts that are crazy popular podcasts.
10:14
Speaker 2: He just did Joe Rogan on Friday. He was great
10:18
Speaker 2: on there. He did Theovonn's podcast. He's done a few others,
10:22
Speaker 2: and I mentioned THEO Vaughn because J. D Vance also
10:26
Speaker 2: just did THEOVONN Show. Theovonn is somebody he's a funny comedian.
10:31
Speaker 2: Uh not not, He's not overly, he's not like a
10:36
Speaker 2: wrecking ball with some of the you know, sensitive subjects.
10:40
Speaker 2: But he does say things sometimes that aren't necessarily politically correct.
10:45
Speaker 2: But he talks a lot about his struggles with addiction.
10:49
Speaker 2: So having Trump on to talk about, you know, the
10:52
Speaker 2: family addictions, the fact that Trump doesn't drink, having jd
10:55
Speaker 2: Vance to come on and talk about, you know, his
10:58
Speaker 2: his family, the situation that you know, he grew up in.
11:02
Speaker 2: So those were some of the topics and just real
11:05
Speaker 2: sort of just real conversation to be able to have
11:09
Speaker 2: with those hosts. So Tony Hinchcliff, Hinchcliff not a t
11:15
Speaker 2: on the end, Tony Hinchcliff, he goes by, He's got
11:19
Speaker 2: a couple of nick Golden Pony they call him, but
11:23
Speaker 2: he's he also goes by kill Tony and that's the
11:26
Speaker 2: name of his show. So some people call him kill Tony,
11:28
Speaker 2: but that's the name of this comedy podcast. It's done live,
11:34
Speaker 2: it's done in Austin, Texas, and it's basically a way
11:38
Speaker 2: to let comedians come on and show off some of
11:44
Speaker 2: their skills, some of their comedy. They get like a minute,
11:49
Speaker 2: and then there's a lot of roasting of the comedians.
11:51
Speaker 2: There's you know, they do these little mini sets I
11:53
Speaker 2: guess a minute or two, whatever it is. And then
11:57
Speaker 2: and the videos go viral and there's all sorts of
12:01
Speaker 2: people who have just people that you might not think
12:04
Speaker 2: this person is like trying to because Joe Rogan has
12:07
Speaker 2: been on there a few times, both Austin guys or
12:10
Speaker 2: Texas guys. I think Joe Rogan's Austin And for like
12:17
Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson, I think was with Joe Rogan one day
12:19
Speaker 2: and he just hey, let's go to kill Tony, and
12:22
Speaker 2: Carlson's like sure, and then they ended up on stage,
12:24
Speaker 2: and there's videos of Tucker Carlson sitting up on stage
12:29
Speaker 2: for this particular show, and it's there'll be some comedians
12:34
Speaker 2: sitting up there on stage. Other comedians come out, they
12:37
Speaker 2: do a lot of non PC comedy. Okay, they might
12:43
Speaker 2: have somebody with a disability come on stage who's making
12:46
Speaker 2: jokes about their own disability, and then the comedians make
12:49
Speaker 2: jokes about it and it's one of those things. It's
12:51
Speaker 2: not for everybody. The people who are there, you can
12:55
Speaker 2: hear them having a great time, even the people who
12:57
Speaker 2: are getting poked fun of. And in there there will
13:00
Speaker 2: be topics that will you know, jokes that will cover race,
13:03
Speaker 2: they will cover LGBTQ, plus they'll cover everything. They hit
13:10
Speaker 2: all of those things. It's not for everybody, But this
13:13
Speaker 2: is someone who is trying to be one of those comedians.
13:16
Speaker 2: It says it's okay to be funny. We can make
13:19
Speaker 2: jokes and be funny. And the people that are part
13:22
Speaker 2: of the show are other comedians that also subscribe to
13:29
Speaker 2: this philosophy, this thinking. So it's a roast and it's
13:33
Speaker 2: a comedy show. That's what's kind of all happening at
13:36
Speaker 2: the same time. Okay, so someone booked him for this
13:41
Speaker 2: particular event and he made some jokes that got some
13:44
Speaker 2: people very upset. And just for the purposes of I
13:49
Speaker 2: want to play whatever advocate in whatever direction. I think
13:55
Speaker 2: when you go to a comedy show and you know,
13:58
Speaker 2: if you walk into that kill Tony's show and you're
14:01
Speaker 2: going to sit there and watch it, if you know
14:04
Speaker 2: what you're getting into, and then these kind of jokes
14:07
Speaker 2: get made and you get all on a huff and
14:09
Speaker 2: you want to leave. That's on you, right. I understand
14:14
Speaker 2: there are going to be a contingency of people on
14:17
Speaker 2: this planet that just can't stand the fact that there
14:19
Speaker 2: are people making these jokes period anywhere, whether they're involved
14:23
Speaker 2: or not. But the genuine intention of this is to
14:27
Speaker 2: be funny and make people laugh. Now, if you take
14:30
Speaker 2: someone like Tony Hinchcliff and you put him at a
14:36
Speaker 2: political rally, it's going to upset some people. I don't
14:39
Speaker 2: know what the thinking was honestly and doing it, other
14:42
Speaker 2: than they know that he's really popular and that they
14:46
Speaker 2: probably did pick up some support from eighteen to thirty
14:50
Speaker 2: four year old males. I mean, that's just the reality
14:54
Speaker 2: of a show like what he has. So that's the
14:59
Speaker 2: thinking behind whoever booked it, and just one of those
15:03
Speaker 2: people that you know, like Joe Rogan. If you feel
15:06
Speaker 2: like you got Joe Rogan support, you go great. If
15:08
Speaker 2: you feel like you got THEO Vaughn or some of
15:10
Speaker 2: these other guys, you go great. So he got in
15:13
Speaker 2: there and he made some jokes. Oh did he make
15:17
Speaker 2: some jokes, and some of them apparently were more relevant
15:23
Speaker 2: than others. He made a joke about I don't want
15:28
Speaker 2: to do the set. I don't want to go deep
15:30
Speaker 2: into the whole thing. But you know, he made some
15:32
Speaker 2: jokes about Black Americans. He said that they carve watermelons
15:36
Speaker 2: for Halloween instead of pumpkins. He made some jokes about
15:40
Speaker 2: Palestinians throwing rocks and how Jewish people had a hard
15:44
Speaker 2: time throwing paper. I didn't hear the full joke. I
15:48
Speaker 2: just know that there was some joke in that. But
15:50
Speaker 2: then he made a joke about Puerto Rico. He said
15:56
Speaker 2: something about us having an island of trash floating around
15:59
Speaker 2: off the coast, and he said that was Puerto Rico.
16:02
Speaker 2: Mixed reaction from the crowd, as you would expect. The
16:05
Speaker 2: people who understand who this guy is probably right there
16:08
Speaker 2: in the moment like, oh my gosh, I'm here and
16:10
Speaker 2: kill Tony, you know, roasting Puerto Rico and roasting the
16:15
Speaker 2: way that he does. And then some people, of course
16:18
Speaker 2: are going, who is this guy and why is he
16:20
Speaker 2: just what are we doing here? What is happening? So
16:25
Speaker 2: folks on the left, including Governor Tim Walls and AOC
16:32
Speaker 2: that's a big one who is herself has Puerto Rican
16:36
Speaker 2: heritage really took offense to this and just went after
16:44
Speaker 2: the Can you believe now media has been saying that
16:46
Speaker 2: this is a racist, misogynistic, hateful Hitler esque rally that
16:53
Speaker 2: took place that Trump was a part of. We're talking
16:57
Speaker 2: about one person that may jokes, not the former president.
17:04
Speaker 2: There was no endorsement or acknowledgment by Trump of the jokes.
17:09
Speaker 2: This is not something he got up and went boy,
17:11
Speaker 2: oh boy, that guy was all the money. Nothing like that,
17:15
Speaker 2: at least not that I saw. They probably would try
17:18
Speaker 2: to make it sound like he did. After criticizing it,
17:23
Speaker 2: Hingecliff wrote on x these people have no sense of
17:26
Speaker 2: humor while that a vice presidential candidate could take the
17:29
Speaker 2: time out of his busy schedule in quotes to analyze
17:33
Speaker 2: a joke taken out of context to make it seem racist.
17:36
Speaker 2: I love Puerto Rico and vacation there. I made fun
17:40
Speaker 2: of everyone. Watch the whole set. I'm a comedian, Tim
17:43
Speaker 2: might be time to change your tampon. I mean, Wall
17:47
Speaker 2: set him up for that response. I mean, let's just
17:51
Speaker 2: be real here. He set him up to get zinged
17:56
Speaker 2: back that way. I guess the actual joke was there's
18:01
Speaker 2: a lot going on like, as you know, but there's
18:03
Speaker 2: literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of
18:05
Speaker 2: the ocean right now. I think it's called Puerto Rico.
18:07
Speaker 2: That was the response. That was the joke, I guess.
18:12
Speaker 2: So eventually we got to Tim Walls saying, can't get
18:18
Speaker 2: over this dude telling someone else to change tampons when
18:21
Speaker 2: he's the one pooping. Sorry, I'm editing this, but I
18:28
Speaker 2: guess this is coming from now, this is coming Sorry,
18:35
Speaker 2: this isn't from Walls, this is I guess from AOC.
18:39
Speaker 2: I want to make sure I got this right. That
18:42
Speaker 2: his joke and the response was super upsetting to her.
18:47
Speaker 2: And here's what she said, I can't get Yeah, he
18:49
Speaker 2: can't get over this dude telling someone else to change
18:51
Speaker 2: tampons when he's the one pooping bricks in his depends.
18:54
Speaker 2: After realizing that opening for Trump at a rally feeding
18:58
Speaker 2: red meat races alongside a throng of other bigots to
19:02
Speaker 2: a frothing crowd does, unironically make you one of them.
19:06
Speaker 2: You don't love Puerto Rico. You just like drinking pina coladas.
19:10
Speaker 2: There's a difference. Now. The thing that and the Trump
19:15
Speaker 2: campaign has said the joke does not jokes don't reflect
19:18
Speaker 2: the views of President Trump or the campaign. This coming
19:21
Speaker 2: from Danielle Alvarez, the senior advisor. Now, what is particularly
19:30
Speaker 2: like all of the jokes that were made, There's only one.
19:34
Speaker 2: It's the one about Puerto Rico that is particularly the
19:38
Speaker 2: one that you get all worked up about, so AOC saying,
19:44
Speaker 2: when you have some ahole calling Puerto Rico floating garbage,
19:48
Speaker 2: know that that's what they think about you. It's what
19:50
Speaker 2: they think about anyone who makes less money than them.
19:54
Speaker 2: I want every Puerto Rican in Philadelphia and read and
20:01
Speaker 2: across the country to see this clip. You see where
20:03
Speaker 2: this is going. This isn't about, oh my gosh, this
20:06
Speaker 2: is a hateful thing that was said. This was about
20:09
Speaker 2: how do we try to win Pennsylvania. That's what it's about,
20:14
Speaker 2: to try to specifically address Puerto Ricans in two parts
20:22
Speaker 2: of Pennsylvania, a state that they desperately need to win
20:26
Speaker 2: to keep control. It's not about what was said. It's
20:30
Speaker 2: not about it being offensive. Why is she not saying
20:33
Speaker 2: this is a horrible thing to say, period. It's about
20:38
Speaker 2: addressing if you're in one of these battleground states, specific
20:44
Speaker 2: battleground state, the one that Harris absolutely has to win.
20:51
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the analysis. If she doesn't win that one,
20:54
Speaker 2: and even if she wins that one, it's not a
20:56
Speaker 2: slam dunk, but she needs that one to even be
20:59
Speaker 2: in the run. And that's the way it's addressed. If
21:04
Speaker 2: you're in Philadelphia or reading, if you're in Pennsylvania or
21:08
Speaker 2: anywhere across the country, in you're Puerto Rican, you need
21:11
Speaker 2: to see this clip. That's what it's about. It's about
21:15
Speaker 2: going after those votes, trying to win Pennsylvania. And it's
21:18
Speaker 2: about saying, look, Trump is Hitler anything that they can
21:22
Speaker 2: do to association. I don't remember Hitler running any sort
21:26
Speaker 2: of rallies that had stand up comics roasting other people.
21:31
Speaker 2: I don't remember that. Does anybody remember that? What about
21:33
Speaker 2: this comedy makes anybody involved with it Hitler? What is
21:39
Speaker 2: the connection? But this is what it's really about. It's
21:42
Speaker 2: about trying to seize that opportunity and figure out how
21:45
Speaker 2: to win some votes in Pennsylvania. Today's show brought to
21:47
Speaker 2: you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center,
21:51
Speaker 2: inspiring and educating the youth in future STEM leaders and
21:57
Speaker 2: STEM career holders that at really of all ages. I
22:01
Speaker 2: mean they do it for school age kids as school
22:05
Speaker 2: age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but
22:07
Speaker 2: they also do it through their university programs where you
22:10
Speaker 2: can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space
22:16
Speaker 2: and stem fields are booming right now, and you can
22:19
Speaker 2: learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website
22:24
Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out some
22:30
Speaker 2: of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that
22:35
Speaker 2: they do with the Schwob School of Music from Columbus
22:37
Speaker 2: State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any
22:41
Speaker 2: concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one
22:44
Speaker 2: of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
22:47
Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
22:50
Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
22:56
Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
23:00
Speaker 2: Based Science Center and the new season of Music under
23:03
Speaker 2: the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows and
23:07
Speaker 2: also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up
23:10
Speaker 2: where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
23:13
Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
23:17
Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
23:20
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events.
23:23
Speaker 2: Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean
23:27
Speaker 2: Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just
23:32
Speaker 2: remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science
23:35
Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
23:40
Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
23:43
Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
23:49
Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
23:53
Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
23:56
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus and take
24:00
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you. And while they're there,
24:03
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
24:05
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
24:08
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
24:12
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
24:14
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
24:17
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
24:20
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
24:24
Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
24:27
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
24:31
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
24:33
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
24:36
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
24:40
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
24:42
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
24:45
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
24:47
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
24:49
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
24:52
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
24:55
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
24:57
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door w and open
25:00
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, And they do
25:03
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven sixty five eight forty five hundred
25:06
Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O
25:10
Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after
25:14
Speaker 2: the break Well, it may feel like just about everybody
25:26
Speaker 2: you know is using ozepic or we goov or one
25:29
Speaker 2: of those drugs to lose weight, But a new survey
25:33
Speaker 2: has found that most people don't have any interest in
25:37
Speaker 2: using them to lose weight. Instead, they'd prefer old fashioned
25:39
Speaker 2: diet and exercise changes. The survey, done by consult UH sorry,
25:44
Speaker 2: consult for the Physicians Committee, I guess is the name
25:48
Speaker 2: of it, UH Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, found that
25:52
Speaker 2: only twenty three percent of people were on board with
25:54
Speaker 2: using injections for weight loss. Sixty two percent had no interest. Uh.
25:58
Speaker 2: Even those who wanted to lose weight, seventy three percent
26:03
Speaker 2: still opted for dietary changes over injections. It's interesting that
26:07
Speaker 2: we've gone through this period of COVID, of vaccinations of
26:12
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I don't want that my body. I understand,
26:16
Speaker 2: and I'm not judging anyone for what they do. It's
26:19
Speaker 2: a and I lost a large amount of weight fifty
26:23
Speaker 2: five pounds by watching my counting my calories, by exercising
26:29
Speaker 2: minor adjustments to what I ate, But it was largely
26:32
Speaker 2: just about tracking the calories every day. And you know,
26:35
Speaker 2: it's been years ago. I've kept most of that off, thankfully.
26:40
Speaker 2: I've actually entered that period where I thought, well, maybe
26:42
Speaker 2: I could try to lose a little bit more now
26:45
Speaker 2: that I've held onto this for a while. At the
26:48
Speaker 2: current weight, that I'm at. But it is interesting. It's
26:53
Speaker 2: a very different sort of Ultimately, it's about being healthier,
26:57
Speaker 2: it's about you know, longevity in your life. All of
27:00
Speaker 2: those things should point to, you know, diet and exercise.
27:04
Speaker 2: But it's interesting. I know someone who has lost some
27:08
Speaker 2: weight from one of these drugs and it's just really like, boy,
27:12
Speaker 2: I'm gonna people are going to be shocked when I'm
27:14
Speaker 2: done by the end of this. And it's and that's
27:17
Speaker 2: a reason, you know, to do it to feel good
27:19
Speaker 2: about yourself. But it's it is interesting because there are
27:22
Speaker 2: a lot of people who do look at it as well,
27:24
Speaker 2: you're kind of cheating, right. I'm not saying I agree
27:27
Speaker 2: with that sentiment. I'm just pointing out that there are
27:29
Speaker 2: people who do feel that way. Have you ever seen
27:32
Speaker 2: a smile or smirk on your dog's face and wondered
27:35
Speaker 2: what they're really or if they're really smiling the way
27:38
Speaker 2: that humans do. The answer is, yes, they are smiling,
27:41
Speaker 2: according to veterinary behavior specialist doctor lor Haig. She says
27:47
Speaker 2: that while certain breeds of dogs are more likely to
27:49
Speaker 2: offer a grin than others, those that do smile do
27:52
Speaker 2: it because they're happy, just like humans.
27:54
Speaker 1: Do.
27:55
Speaker 2: That's why their smiles are often accompanied by other happy
27:58
Speaker 2: behaviors like tail wagging and whining, she says, adding that
28:05
Speaker 2: dogs may also flash a smile when they know they've
28:08
Speaker 2: done something wrong and they're hoping you won't get mad
28:10
Speaker 2: at them. Another interesting fact is that dogs only smile
28:14
Speaker 2: at humans. They don't smile at other dogs. Never really
28:18
Speaker 2: noticed that before, but that checks right. It seems like
28:22
Speaker 2: people are not that excited about AI generated writing. Researchers
28:26
Speaker 2: from the University of Florida and the University of Central
28:29
Speaker 2: Florida found that just the idea of a story being
28:33
Speaker 2: written by AI can make readers enjoy it less, even
28:36
Speaker 2: if it was actually written by human. They tested this
28:40
Speaker 2: by mixing up labels on stories written by humans and AI,
28:43
Speaker 2: and found that people are quick to judge AI written
28:45
Speaker 2: content more harshly. Interestingly, the study found that AI can
28:49
Speaker 2: write stories that are almost as good as what humans do,
28:53
Speaker 2: but they still struggle to make readers feel completely absorbed
28:56
Speaker 2: in the story. So while AI is getting pretty good
28:58
Speaker 2: at writing, it's having a hard time winning over you know,
29:02
Speaker 2: in the in the fields. So probably music to the
29:07
Speaker 2: years of creative writers because it means there's still a
29:10
Speaker 2: place for you out there. Uh. For the first time ever,
29:13
Speaker 2: if everyone with a valid US passport suddenly packed up
29:17
Speaker 2: and left the country, there would be more Americans outside
29:20
Speaker 2: the country than inside. State Department reporting that fifty one
29:23
Speaker 2: percent of Americans now have US passports. That's up from
29:27
Speaker 2: forty six percent and twenty twenty three and thirty percent
29:30
Speaker 2: in two thousand and eight. There are now more than
29:32
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy one million valid US passports in circulation.
29:37
Speaker 2: The agency is saying it issued twenty four point five
29:39
Speaker 2: million passports, books, and cards in twenty twenty four, which
29:43
Speaker 2: is up by five hundred thousand from the year before.
29:46
Speaker 2: I think it probably has something to do with COVID.
29:50
Speaker 2: It felt like we can't travel, and we always thought
29:52
Speaker 2: we'd like to travel, And then as soon as you
29:54
Speaker 2: could travel again, maybe people were like, Wow, let's let's go.
29:57
Speaker 2: Let's go somewhere we've never been before. Speaking of travel
30:03
Speaker 2: on airport in New Zealand wants to cut down on
30:05
Speaker 2: delays by telling people they need to put a three
30:08
Speaker 2: minute limit on their goodbye hugs. Doonden Airport says that
30:13
Speaker 2: the lovey dovey curbside farewells are getting in the way
30:16
Speaker 2: of smooth departures, so they put them on the clock.
30:19
Speaker 2: Airport Chief Daniel de Bono says that those who need
30:23
Speaker 2: longer should say their goodbyes in the parking lot and ads,
30:26
Speaker 2: don't worry. Just a twenty second hug is enough to
30:29
Speaker 2: release the chemicals that you need, the hormones that you
30:33
Speaker 2: need that will boost well being. So three minutes is
30:36
Speaker 2: plenty of time to say goodbye and get your dose
30:39
Speaker 2: of happiness. That will do it. For this Tuesday edition
30:43
Speaker 2: of the show, Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank
30:45
