  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Thursday morning, eleventh day of June. I'm West Thanks for
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: joining me. It is Thursday of early voting for the
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: runoff elections here in my hometown in Columbus, Georgia. Went
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: yesterday to vote. Took Jill and I went. I took
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Jake with me. Jake will be voting in November. He's
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: registered since he got past the seventeen and a half mark.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: He'll be eighteen by the November election day. When he
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: was young, and like many people do, when you kind
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: of have your kids in tow, sometimes you have to
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: take them with you.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: When you vote. You go when you vote.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: When he was really young, Jill wasn't a citizen. We
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: follow the rules, so she didn't vote back. She didn't
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: vote back then. She wasn't eligible to vote back in
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: those olden days before all that changed. So he would
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: go with me when I voted, the same with Luke,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: and you know, they would get their sticker and all
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: that fun stuff. But you know, he doesn't remember any
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: of that stuff. And I thought, well it might be
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: nice since he's out of school and I'm going for
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: this you know, runoff election day to take him with
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: me and just kind of let him, you know, stand
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: there and watch the way the process works so that
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: he's equipped and ready for you know, when his time comes.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: It can be a little confusing and overwhelming. I know
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: it's not overly complicated, but some people for that first time,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and I just kind of wanted him to be a
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: little more at ease for it, and he wanted to
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: go do it and kind of see the way it worked.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: So that's what we did.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: And then of course, now Jill is a citizen, following
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: all the rules, every single rule that was in play.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: She is now a citizen and has voted a few times,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: so she was We went as we kind of planned
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: it out where we could go. It was like an
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: hour in mine. Just a heads up if you're going,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you need to go. We have a pretty critical race
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: going on here in Columbus for mayor and also there's
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: a city council seat that is up for grabs. It's
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: a big one, so there's things that you need to
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: get in there and take care of. And if you're
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: you know, not voting on the Republican side for those runoffs,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: maybe it's not as big a deal. I suspect though,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: that one of the mayoral candidates is going to draw
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: in a lot of folks from the left that will
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: be coming in to vote anyway, whether they've got something
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: else to vote for or not. We'll see. I had
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: been told early in the week there weren't a lot
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: of people going in for early voting, but it was
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: certainly there were a lot yesterday. It was a long line,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: long wait, but you got to do it. There's a
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: lot at stake, and we put so much emphasis on
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: the national races that sometimes we forget the local ones
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: are important too. In many ways they're more important, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: this one is a critical one. So early voting this
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: week and then election day officially on Tuesday, the sixteenth
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: of next week. Now just a reminder on that early
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: voting this week and Tuesday's election day. Those are voting
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: days for people who are over twenty five and don't
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: still think that they're in a fraternity or sorority. If
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: that applies to you, then you come back and you
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: vote on the seventeenth. That's your election day if you're
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: over twenty five years old. And you're still wearing Greek
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: letters in any capacity, like more than I would say
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: once a month, you know, or your colors.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Fraternity or sorori.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: If you wear in purple, if purple is part of
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: your wardrobe and you're not the joker, then you come
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: back on the seventeenth to vote or green you come
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: back then that's when you're supposed to.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I'm joking. Of course, everybody votes the same.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not really going to do that, but this not
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: being on radio, I can say whatever. If I did
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: that on the radio, I could get in trouble. I
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: can't really hear. But I'm going to be honest and
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: just tell you. But if you're still, you know, actively
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: participating in a fraternity and you're over the age of twenty,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I'll say thirty. If you're over the age of thirty,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe rethink some things, you know, just all
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I saw a car riddled with fraternity things illegally parked
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: in a parking lot yesterday, and it had signs like
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: where where it was parked, with signs for different candidates
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: all over it that were being supported. I presume, like
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: by you know, that particular fraternity, that he's a part
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: of and many others because we got you know the group,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you know, the Elite eight or.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Whatever they're Sublime nine or whatever they're called.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: They they they get to decide really most of the time.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: That's what I got told once I thought about running
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: a few years ago. I just wanted to get in
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: it and just have some fun. And I got told
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: by someone very seriously, like, you know, you can't win
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: unless you get the you know, the nine to vote
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: for you. And I was like, but there, they wouldn't
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: vote for me anyway. And they're like, but that's the
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: thing is, you got to get them to support you
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: if you're going to win. That's they always decide. And
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I thought, well, uh, and then probably there's a lot
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: of truth to that. I mean, you you get a
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: group of people together to vote in a block, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: you don't actually stop and think. You just kind of go, well,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: this is where I'm supposed to vote.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: It's what I was told to do. I just thought
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: it was fun.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Then it was a car that was illegally parked and
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: it had all these signs all over it, and uh,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: you know this person was gone, had gone into a
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: place of business or that's what they were there to do,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: so they weren't. It wasn't just like they thought, well,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I'm here, I'm going to get out and put these signs,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: these signs all over my car while I'm inside the business.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Uh in a park It parked in a parking spot
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: that you know isn't for anyone, It's not a real
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: parking space. But I'm going to do it anyway because
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I can. I mean, that's that's That's like the perfect summary.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Of all of it, isn't it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I can do this now in fairness this person frequently
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I see this car parked illegally many times, and this
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: was the first time I've seen election signs all over it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: But I don't know.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Does this mean that they're nervous. Does this mean that
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: they're a little anxious that maybe this election.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Could go a different way? I don't know.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's what that means, or if
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: this is a common practice.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know how that works exactly. But you know,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: bless their hearts, maybe they'll get what they want.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I hope not.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: But you know, an other election news and we kind
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: of touched on it yesterday, but the whole Grand platinir thing.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I just want to point out the fact I'm not
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: going to spend a whole lot of time on him,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: but I just any.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: More than I already have.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: But the fact that over one hundred and thirty thousand
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: people in Maine voted for a guy that's had a
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Nazi tattoo on his chest for a long time.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Just remember that.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I don't watch a lot of political commentary, a lot
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: of TV where there's people talking. But I happened to
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: be in a position yesterday, and I've explained why I
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: like my thoughts to be my original thoughts and I
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: just don't like to absorb things and and and bring.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Them from other places.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: But I happened to be in a position yesterday when
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: The Five was on on Fox and I was listening
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: some of their commentary on you know, exactly how this
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: election went down, and it was an interesting it was
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: an interesting breakdown on thoughts on exactly where things stood
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: in Maine, what the options were, and the fact that
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: just the way that people are having to make this
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: decision about who to vote for.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: When it comes to this election.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: And Greg Guttfeld had had a comment, I mean, he's
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: exactly right, and he was just saying that the left
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: has done such a great job of creating this scenario,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: this doomsday scenario. I know, I'm not quite getting it
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: exactly right, but this is this is a mix of
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: him and me, I guess, And this is why I
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: don't typically watch those shows because I don't really remember
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: where his commentary stopped in mind begins. But he was
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: basically saying, if you create this doomsday scenario, then it's
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: easy to justify things. And they're the ones that are
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: creating the scenario.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: And this is not.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Different than what I have said about climate change. You
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: jump in and you say, well, you know, we're all
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: going to die. Climate change is horrible, it's the worst
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: thing in the world. And we're you know, we're we
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: have this urgency that we have to we have to
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: do this or else we're going to die. And then
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: you can justify anything because you're saving the planet. You know,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: you're you're basically making this call that you are you're
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: ultimately going to be the one that saves humanity. Right,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: So if you've created the panic, and you have created
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: this idea that if you don't act, then you can
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: justify anything that you feel like that you need to do.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: You know, you're you're.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Basically you're free from any guilt, like there's your hands
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: are are washed, right, You're just you're free in every
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: capacity to do whatever it is that you want to do.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: And that's that's all justified. You can do anything at all,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: So you know that's there. It's like The Watchman if
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: you're familiar with the Watchmen comic books and a later
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: movie and then a TV show that they did off
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: of it, and it's this scenario where you're saying, like
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: you know this is going to bring about the end
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: of the world, like it's pushing forward the clock.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: It really kind of.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Fits with this the more I think about it. So
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: the idea in the story, and I don't want to
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: spoil it, but you kind of have to. But you
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: have a character who's saying people have a right to
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: know the truth, and you have another guy who's saying
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: that if I don't do what I do and bring
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: the world together through this kind of doomsday scenario, then
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: we're going to be a step closer to the end
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: of the world. And then they have to make this
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: decision to take the one guy who's fighting for truth
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: and justice and what's right and all those things and
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: kill him in the name of this lie that they
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: think is going to save the world. And that's kind
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: of what they're willing to do, Like they've justified that
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: in so many ways, and we're kind of seeing that
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: playing out over and over again. And Greg Guttfeld's comment
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: was basically this idea that if you you've created the
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: doomsday scenario and you've created all of that, and you've said, hey,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Trump is a Nazi or he's Hitler, So if he's Hitler,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: then you can justify electing a Nazi to the Senate
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: so that you can defeat Hitler. It's a crazy logic chain,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: but he's right. And that's that's pretty much what we've
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: seen playing out there. It's not one hundred and thirty
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: thousand people in this election in Maine willing to throw
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: everything out the window in the name of you know, well,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: we've got to do this because we've got to we've
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: got to try to protect to protect democracy by helping
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: someone who may very well be a Nazi a communist
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: he's admitted to.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: But it's just it's a crazy it's a crazy world.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: It really is a crazy world.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Another cool thing that's happened here in the area and
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: kind of a wild scenario. I don't live very far
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: from the airport here in Columbus, and I think I
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: talked about this just a little bit when Trump came
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: in to Columbus for a visit, and you know, he was,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: you know, just like not far from where I live,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: just a very short distance from where I live, and
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: anyone who lives near the airport kind of had that experience,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: and it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Was kind of a cool thing.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: And then when his plane took off, I could see
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: it from my house, watch his plane take off. And
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: then just a couple of days ago, we could see
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: the plane carrying the team Argentina, their national team for
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: the World Cup, which gets underway today by the way,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: landing in Columbus at the airport, and then you know,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: there's MESSI again the same distance from my house. It
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: was just a weird thing that was playing out, and
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: all of us that live anywhere near the airport kind
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: of all shared that now twice, but they went to
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: play in Auburn again. Fun to hear people around the
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: world trying to cover this event as they don't know
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: how to pronounce Jordan hair I've even heard some actual
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: football people that don't know how to pronounce Jordan hair,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: which is embarrassing at this point. If you're covering SEC football,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: you should know how to pronounce it. But anyway, but
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the game that was set to be it was a
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: friendly against Iceland, and they were just kind of a
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: warm up game. I that they did not think MESSI
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: was necessarily gonna play. I had some friends that were like,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: we're going anyway, we got to go. I got asked
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: by some relatives like are you gonna go and see them?
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: And I thought, well, it's.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Look, Auburn's not far from here, but it's far enough
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: that it's it's like a commitment. There was also some
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: bad weather that bay. They so it's it's weather. Uh,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: it's the trip, it's the tickets weren't cheap by any means.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: They weren't.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: The low end tickets way up in the in the
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: rafters of Jordin Air Stadium were not. Uh they were
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: expensive for how far away they were, but again, uh,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: you know, not not out of uh not completely out
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: of reason to to pay for saying, you know, see
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: the greatest ever, you know, one of two. Definitely there
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: there's like two people that you would go, yeah, they're
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: the best ever. And I think even the other guy
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: who's now passed in pele Is. I think even he
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: you know, acknowledged Messy for his accomplishments. But anyway, you
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: got you got two guys considered the best ever of
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: the sport. And I know MESSI just he played. You know,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: it wasn't that long ago that he was playing in
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Atlanta for the Miami team and he was there for
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: you know, playing against Atlanta United. But anyway, so I've
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: got many friends, a lot of kids that I coached
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: that that actually went over made the trip. They got
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: wet because there was weather, but they got to see
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: him warming up and then they didn't know if they
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: were going to get see him play.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: He goes in.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: He actually had a penalty kicks, all that fun stuff.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: So that was cool.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: It's a it's a cool thing leading into the World Cup.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: That stadium just being absolutely full is also pretty cool.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Before the World Cup.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: How much the country is going to embrace this, I
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: don't know. We got so much going on. We got
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: World Cup, we got Olympics, we got USA two fifty.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: There's a lot going on In a short amount of time,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: and it just feels like, man, there is a lot
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: a lot playing out during this president's this term, the
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: second administration, and it's sad to me that we have
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of people that are trying not to be
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: involved in some of these things, especially with this two
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: fifty celebration, because they just don't want anything to do
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: with him. It's a whole different thing if we have
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: a different president, it's a whole different thing. Just like
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: I said about COVID, it's a whole different thing. At
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton won that election in twenty sixteen, they would
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: have handled everything about that completely differently. You can't tell
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: me otherwise it would have been a very different that
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: we would be so much worse off. We would be
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: so much worse off. But that's another conversation for another time.
• 17:53

• 19:23
  Speaker 2: somewhere outside the city lights you don't want any light interference,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: events also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As

  Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: care of square in that away for you, and while
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: space as a sort of.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Outdoor but indoor.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: and they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five

  Speaker 2: forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Morning Show right after the break. So we've talked about
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: this a little bit, kind of a different topic, but
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: it's the subject about screen time. We're in summer, our
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: kids are, you know, staring at screens, and we're concerned.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: We don't want them just constantly staring into the abyss forever.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: But this idea that not all screen time is necessarily
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: bad screen time, and we address this a little bit
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: recently with this notion that having your kids staring at
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: a screen for longer periods of time is actually not
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: a bad thing. Limiting their use of screens for these
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: little small thirty and forty five second clips that they're watching,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: reels and whatnot, that can be damaging for their attention span.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: But if you have them watching movies, watching TV shows,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: things that they're actually going to help expand their attention span,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: that basically that can be a positive thing. If you're
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: helping to kind of keep them away from those shorter
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: videos for some amounts of time, like limiting that time,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: but giving them the opportunity to enjoy a movie. Let
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: them watch Lord of the Rings for crying out loud,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: that'll help with the attention span. But there's also some
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: conversation a new study that suggests that basically how you're
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: using the screens more important then how long you're using them,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: And basically it's about the positivity that can can come
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: when you're connecting with friends and family, you're learning something new,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: basically having some kind of engagement in a meaningful way.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: So the idea is that it's quality over quantity and
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: basically building healthier habits around when, why, and how you're
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: using the devices. So this kind of fits certainly into
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: that same idea as far as the concept of stretching
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: out the attention span can be a good thing. But
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: also this idea, look talking with somebody, we have family overseas.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: You know, having an hour long chat with family overseas
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: video call is certainly like nothing out of the ordinary
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: for us.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Jill talks to our parents at.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Least once a week and other family at various times,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: and you know those can be two hour sessions. Those
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: certainly aren't bad. So just kind of thinking about it
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: in those terms. We're into summer. It's not just about
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: kids and screens. We're also kind of into this idea
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: of summer drinking as people get into the season with
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: holidays and things were coming up on America two fifty,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: the Independence Day celebration. I'm sure there will be some
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: folks enjoying grilling and having beverages. But there's a new
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: study that says adults should limit alcohol to norm more
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: than one drink a day, and that is a stricter
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: recommendation than what past US guidelines have been. Researchers reviewed
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: dozens of studies and found that drinking above roughly a
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: drink a day raises the lifetime risk of dying from
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: alcohol related diseases and injuries. The risk climbs sharply as
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: consumption increases. Even one drink a day was linked to
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: higher risks of cancers, liver disease, and injuries. Although it
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: may offer some heart benefits, however, experts say those potential
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: benefits are outweighed by the overall harms and potential harms.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: They continue to insist that less alcohol is better and
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: none is best for reducing long term health risks. Another
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: thing concerning summertime and the beaches, if you've got smaller kids,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: if you're not already doing this, this is an idea
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: that might be helpful if you're going to the beach,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: and it's the idea of backwards beach days. Basically, instead
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: of doing a typical morning beach trip, you just kind
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: of flip it. You do some other activities and errands
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: and things, maybe sightseeing. If you're going to go places
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: early in the day, and then later in the day
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: you go to the beach kind of once the sun
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: is a little less bitter later in the afternoon. The
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: idea of this has started to make its way into
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: social media, and basically the idea is you get out
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: there when it's less crowded, the sun's not as intense.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Kids are kind of in a better mood, maybe because
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: they've been able to do some fun things earlier in
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: the day, They've had their naps, things like that makes
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: the day feel a bit more relaxed. No rushing if
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: you were meltdowns with those smaller kids, easier to transition
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: into bedtime. Just an idea for you, if you've got
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: a beach trip plan, something to think about, at least
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: try it once maybe and see how it goes for you.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Thursday edition of the show.
