- 0:04Speaker 2: You need to start your day. You're listening to the
- 0:07Speaker 2: West Carrol Morning Show Tuesday morning, at twenty fifth day
- 0:15Speaker 2: of November. I'm West Thanks for joining me. Told you
- 0:20Speaker 2: I was going to do some shows this week. I
- 0:22Speaker 2: didn't know how many. It's been a bit hectic and busy.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Already kids out of school. You know, there's things to do, meals,
- 0:31Speaker 2: to help prepare, or to prepare. I'm not preparing any meals.
- 0:35Speaker 2: I'm be honest. I mean I'm preparing meals. I'm not
- 0:38Speaker 2: preparing any Thanksgiving feest. Thankfully I have people that are
- 0:43Speaker 2: much more skilled at all that than I taking care
- 0:47Speaker 2: of that. Although I will offer this to some of
- 0:51Speaker 2: you because maybe this is one of those things that
- 0:53Speaker 2: hasn't crossed your mind, It's crossed my mind. It's sad.
- 0:57Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'm sorry to start your day or whenever
- 1:01Speaker 2: you're listening with something sad. But it's the reality of life.
- 1:06Speaker 2: But just think about this. If you are like me
- 1:11Speaker 2: and you have grown very accustomed to having family prepare
- 1:16Speaker 2: meals for you, this is true, not just this time
- 1:19Speaker 2: of year, but it always gets kind of top of
- 1:23Speaker 2: mind for me. This time of year. But if there
- 1:28Speaker 2: is something that you're used to, you're accustomed to eating
- 1:32Speaker 2: this time of year, right or Christmas or whatever to Easter,
- 1:38Speaker 2: someone just makes something for you that is you don't
- 1:44Speaker 2: even you can't even imagine having the season without it.
- 1:52Speaker 2: You know, there's things that we have that for There's
- 1:54Speaker 2: just certain food items, and in some cases it's just
- 2:00Speaker 2: it may not even be so much that it's an
- 2:05Speaker 2: unusual or unique thing to this time of year. It's
- 2:07Speaker 2: just the way that it's prepared by the person who
- 2:10Speaker 2: prepares it. Many of you right now don't still have
- 2:17Speaker 2: the people that you grew up with in your life,
- 2:19Speaker 2: your parents, you don't have them now, or you've grown
- 2:21Speaker 2: up and you've started your own traditions, and in some
- 2:24Speaker 2: cases you've been able to roll over some of the
- 2:26Speaker 2: traditions of the way things are prepared, or maybe you've
- 2:29Speaker 2: got your own way of preparing things. But what I'm
- 2:32Speaker 2: getting at is that I am still very blessed to
- 2:35Speaker 2: have my parents still in my life, and they still
- 2:38Speaker 2: cook at holidays for me, and I've tried my best
- 2:43Speaker 2: to learn from them what they're doing, how they do it,
- 2:48Speaker 2: so that someday and it has to happen. I mean,
- 2:53Speaker 2: it's the reality of how things work. There'll be a
- 2:56Speaker 2: time when if I want to eat that particular item
- 3:00Speaker 2: prepared the way it was prepared in the past, I'm
- 3:03Speaker 2: gonna have to do it myself or someone in the
- 3:07Speaker 2: family is going to have to step in and learn
- 3:09Speaker 2: how to do it. It's the reality. And I just
- 3:12Speaker 2: offer that up not to be sad, not to be
- 3:14Speaker 2: a downer, not to be a I know it's a
- 3:17Speaker 2: giant wet blanket in the holidays. But the reason I
- 3:20Speaker 2: bring it up today, this Tuesday of Thanksgiving week, is
- 3:26Speaker 2: there's time to step into the kitchen and say how
- 3:29Speaker 2: can I help? Hey, show me how you do that,
- 3:32Speaker 2: figure out what the menu item is, make notes. You know,
- 3:35Speaker 2: even if you got to make a video and I'm
- 3:37Speaker 2: not talking about, you know, a video to post online,
- 3:40Speaker 2: although people do that, but a cooking video of We
- 3:44Speaker 2: have the technology now. There was a time, you know,
- 3:48Speaker 2: out on the prairie in the little house, when there
- 3:51Speaker 2: was no way to do that. Now it's very easy
- 3:54Speaker 2: to take out your phone and just record it being
- 3:58Speaker 2: prepared the way that it's being prepared. While you can
- 4:01Speaker 2: still get it of record. Because some of those things
- 4:04Speaker 2: there's no recipe for. They're just throwing things around in there. Man,
- 4:08Speaker 2: They've done it so many times. They're not talking about measurements,
- 4:12Speaker 2: they're not talking tea spoons and tablespoons. They're throwing handfuls
- 4:16Speaker 2: of this. They're throwing a pinch of that, literal pinches
- 4:19Speaker 2: of things. I'm just offering you this as a public service.
- 4:23Speaker 2: That's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to tell you,
- 4:26Speaker 2: as sad as it is, and as much as I
- 4:28Speaker 2: know you don't want to hear it, nobody wants to
- 4:31Speaker 2: hear this. Nobody wants to take time and think about
- 4:34Speaker 2: the fact that this is just a reality.
- 4:37Speaker 3: But it is.
- 4:38Speaker 2: It is something that you have to be prepared for.
- 4:41Speaker 2: It is something that is coming. Time is a thief,
- 4:47Speaker 2: and it's just a reality. I'm offering you that if
- 4:51Speaker 2: you haven't already done it. If you've done it, great,
- 4:54Speaker 2: make sure to back it up somewhere. Try to make
- 4:56Speaker 2: it into some sort of a recipe book if you can.
- 5:00Speaker 2: It's a great idea to sit down with those people
- 5:01Speaker 2: in your life, your parents, grandparents, your cousin, whoever it is, somebody,
- 5:07Speaker 2: your uncle Teddy, whoever's making whatever that thing is, sit
- 5:11Speaker 2: down with them, put it together in some kind of
- 5:15Speaker 2: you know, video form, or write it out, make a
- 5:19Speaker 2: little book. You can share it with family. It be
- 5:21Speaker 2: a great Christmas gift if you can get it together
- 5:22Speaker 2: by Christmas. There you go. That's my tip. That's what
- 5:25Speaker 2: I'm offering you. I know nobody wants to hear about it,
- 5:29Speaker 2: but you gotta be ready. You gotta be prepared. And
- 5:32Speaker 2: it might not be Thanksgiving. It might be, like I said,
- 5:35Speaker 2: all these other holidays. Maybe somebody makes up perfect, you know,
- 5:40Speaker 2: Halloween themed dish that you go, man, I love it.
- 5:44Speaker 2: What am I going to do one day when it's
- 5:45Speaker 2: not there anymore? Maybe you got a friend who just
- 5:48Speaker 2: makes a cake better than anybody else, and you want
- 5:50Speaker 2: how do they do it? I want to know, make
- 5:53Speaker 2: some notes. Gotta be prepared. Speaking of being prepared, got
- 5:59Speaker 2: to tell you about prep starts now. And we are
- 6:02Speaker 2: into Black Friday week right how it's the week of Thanksgiving,
- 6:07Speaker 2: and we know that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming.
- 6:11Speaker 2: So I offer you this as well, a chance to
- 6:15Speaker 2: that person in your life that's tough to shop for.
- 6:18Speaker 2: They have everything that they need, but maybe they don't
- 6:21Speaker 2: have the needs met. When it comes to a possible
- 6:25Speaker 2: disaster or some sort of tragedy or some sort of
- 6:28Speaker 2: terrible event that could come, time to prepare for an emergency.
- 6:33Speaker 2: The time to prepare for a disaster was yesterday. You
- 6:36Speaker 2: don't want to be running around when a storm strikes,
- 6:40Speaker 2: when they're civil unrest, when there's something that takes place
- 6:43Speaker 2: that's so horrible that you don't know how you're going
- 6:46Speaker 2: to get clean water, that you don't know how you're
- 6:49Speaker 2: going to feed your family, You don't know how you're

- 7:43Speaker 2: to prepare is now all right? Well, I mentioned civil
- 7:48Speaker 2: unrest in there, and sadly we are. We have this
- 7:53Speaker 2: weird thing that's taking place. And I just want to
- 7:55Speaker 2: say this because I can't go through the legality of it.
- 8:00Speaker 2: I've seen a few people discuss it. I've seen and
- 8:02Speaker 2: this gets really complicated when it comes to law. I
- 8:06Speaker 2: know that, and I'm not going to be one of
- 8:08Speaker 2: those people that immediately says that I know and understand
- 8:11Speaker 2: everything as soon as I hear about it for the
- 8:13Speaker 2: first time. There are a lot of those people. There's
- 8:15Speaker 2: more than enough of those people in my social media feed.
- 8:19Speaker 2: I don't have time for that. I just don't. You're
- 8:22Speaker 2: not an expert on everything. Immediately. There were teriff experts.
- 8:26Speaker 2: There have been, you know, folks that knew everything that
- 8:30Speaker 2: you needed to know about snap benefits immediately. They know
- 8:33Speaker 2: the law because they heard one person say something on
- 8:36Speaker 2: social media. They know everything that you need to know
- 8:40Speaker 2: about what you can do at a traffic stop because
- 8:42Speaker 2: they saw it online. Those are still some of my
- 8:44Speaker 2: favorite videos. By the way, the sovereign citizen people watching
- 8:47Speaker 2: them get arrested. I'm not going to do that, but
- 8:52Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you this. We have a weird
- 8:54Speaker 2: thing that's taking place. I think there probably could be
- 8:56Speaker 2: some legal ramifications from it, and I think I think
- 9:00Speaker 2: that there probably should be. But I'm not an expert
- 9:03Speaker 2: in this particular area of law. But I can tell
- 9:06Speaker 2: you this. We have a group of lawmakers, six of them,
- 9:13Speaker 2: who've put together a video. I'm gonna play it for you,
- 9:15Speaker 2: and I want you to hear them say it out
- 9:16Speaker 2: of their mouths. A couple of them even give their resume.
- 9:20Speaker 2: But they're basically telling military and the intelligence community that
- 9:25Speaker 2: they don't have to bey obey unlawful instructions and orders
- 9:32Speaker 2: from the President of the United States, you know their boss.
- 9:35Speaker 2: And here's the video. I'm Senator Alissa Soockin, Senator Mark Kelly,
- 9:41Speaker 2: Representative Chris S.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Deluzio, Congressman Maggie good Lanyard, Representative Chrissy Hulahan, Congressman Jason Crowe.
- 9:47Speaker 3: I was a Captain in the United States Navy, former
- 9:49Speaker 3: CIA officer, former Navy, former paratrooper and Army ranger.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Former intelligence officer.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Former Air Force.
- 9:55Speaker 3: We want to speak directly to members of the military.
- 9:58Speaker 2: And the intelligence community who take risks each day keep
- 10:01Speaker 2: Americans safe. We know you are under enormous stress and
- 10:04Speaker 2: pressure right now.
- 10:05Speaker 3: Americans trust their military, with that trust is at risk.
- 10:08Speaker 3: This administration is pitting our uniform, military.
- 10:11Speaker 2: And intelligence community professionals.
- 10:13Speaker 3: Against American citizens. Like us. You all swore an oath.
- 10:17Speaker 1: To protect and defend this constitution.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Right now, the threats to our constitution aren't just coming
- 10:22Speaker 2: from abroad, but from right here at home.
- 10:24Speaker 3: Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You
- 10:28Speaker 3: can refuse illegal orders.
- 10:30Speaker 2: You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry
- 10:33Speaker 2: out orders that violate the law or our constitution.
- 10:37Speaker 3: We know this is hard and that it's a difficult
- 10:39Speaker 3: time to be a public servant. But whether you're serving
- 10:41Speaker 3: in the CIA, the Army, or Navy the Air Force,
- 10:44Speaker 3: your vigilance is critical. And know that we have your
- 10:47Speaker 3: back because now more than ever, the American people need you.
- 10:51Speaker 3: We need you to stand up for our laws, our constitution,
- 10:54Speaker 3: and who we are as Americans. Don't give up. Don't
- 10:58Speaker 3: give up, don't give up, don't give up the ship.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Okay. I like that they lay out their resumes because
- 11:06Speaker 2: they should all know better. First of all, we want
- 11:08Speaker 2: to talk about people that have been pitting someone against anybody.
- 11:12Speaker 2: How about all the years of defunding the police and
- 11:16Speaker 2: the constant string of pitting the citizens of our country
- 11:22Speaker 2: against our police force. Let's talk about that for a second,
- 11:25Speaker 2: because that's been going on actively, and I realize it's
- 11:28Speaker 2: died down quite a bit. But think back to post
- 11:32Speaker 2: George Floyd. Think back to not taking a situation and
- 11:38Speaker 2: saying this is an isolated thing. This happened, It's terrible,
- 11:42Speaker 2: and now let's move on and find a way to
- 11:45Speaker 2: move on instead of encouraging people to go out and
- 11:48Speaker 2: ride in the streets and bring civil unrest to our doorstep,
- 11:52Speaker 2: not directly to my doorstep, but to many doorsteps. Lives lost,
- 11:56Speaker 2: property damage, business has destroyed, communities destroyed, federal buildings taken
- 12:03Speaker 2: over in some places. I mean that sounds like insurrection
- 12:09Speaker 2: a little bit, don't you think, just a little bit.
- 12:12Speaker 2: You take over a federal building. I'm not talking about
- 12:14Speaker 2: the US Capital. I'm talking about federal buildings that were
- 12:17Speaker 2: taken over so that people could protest and stand up
- 12:21Speaker 2: to the police. So let's just talk about the danger
- 12:26Speaker 2: of first of all, putting out a message like this,
- 12:29Speaker 2: because the purpose of the message isn't really about saying, hey,
- 12:33Speaker 2: you can stand up or you have to, you must
- 12:35Speaker 2: stand up to these orders. That's not the message at all.
- 12:40Speaker 2: None of these people can cite an actual order that
- 12:42Speaker 2: has been given that was illegal for them to say this,
- 12:47Speaker 2: this is just a smear ad. That's all this our campaign.
- 12:50Speaker 2: It's not really an ad, but I guess it is
- 12:52Speaker 2: if you put it out on social media. So this
- 12:54Speaker 2: is about trying to tell the global community we got problems.
- 12:58Speaker 2: That's what it's doing. For the record, there have been
- 13:02Speaker 2: no illegal orders. These people can't tell you an illegal
- 13:05Speaker 2: order that's an actual thing that's been ordered. They're not
- 13:08Speaker 2: doing that. When they've been interviewed, they've been asked what
- 13:11Speaker 2: are the illegal orders? One of them I forget which
- 13:14Speaker 2: one gave an answer, and it wasn't even anything that
- 13:16Speaker 2: had been always telling people to kill people, at least not.
- 13:21Speaker 2: He hasn't done that. You can't just make it up
- 13:25Speaker 2: that seems like there should be illegal ramification to that,
- 13:28Speaker 2: I would say, at the very least, these others that
- 13:30Speaker 2: are encouraging this, you must disobey. You must stand up
- 13:35Speaker 2: to illegal orders, which ones you're giving the hint and
- 13:41Speaker 2: suggestion by putting this out that something has been given
- 13:45Speaker 2: that's illegal. I think they're trying to imply that using
- 13:51Speaker 2: ice to send people packing that have been on a
- 13:57Speaker 2: list to leave is somehow in illegal order. People that
- 14:02Speaker 2: have broken the law by being here illegally and pretending
- 14:05Speaker 2: that that's not breaking the law. How about we say, hey,
- 14:09Speaker 2: members of Congress, stand up for the constitution. How about that?
- 14:16Speaker 2: I mean, this sounds like, again, a bit of an
- 14:20Speaker 2: insurrection of sorts. It's not exactly, but it sounds like
- 14:23Speaker 2: it's trying to lead that way. People have been throwing
- 14:26Speaker 2: around words like sedition all this stuff. Look, I'm not
- 14:29Speaker 2: an expert. I'm not going to pretend to be one.
- 14:32Speaker 2: There's nothing that frustrates me more than jumping on social
- 14:34Speaker 2: media and just trying to see pictures of people's pets
- 14:37Speaker 2: and kids and vacations. That's all I want to see.
- 14:43Speaker 2: It's not asking a lot. If you've done something fun
- 14:46Speaker 2: and cool, I want to see pictures from it. To
- 14:49Speaker 2: meet somebody cool, and yeah, I want to see pictures
- 14:51Speaker 2: of it. I want to see your kids and whatever
- 14:54Speaker 2: their occasions are. Many of you, I don't get to
- 14:56Speaker 2: see that anymore because I don't want to hear your
- 14:58Speaker 2: expert advice on everything political that you don't really know.
- 15:04Speaker 2: You just watched a video. A lot of those videos,
- 15:08Speaker 2: by the way, they're just made up. You can say anything.
- 15:13Speaker 2: These people proved it. You can say anything. So here
- 15:17Speaker 2: they are suggesting that something happened. Here. They are telling
- 15:20Speaker 2: the world that, you know, we have a coup in progress,
- 15:24Speaker 2: that it's coming. They don't like the guy. We get it.
- 15:29Speaker 2: You don't like him. Write it out. It's three more years,
- 15:32Speaker 2: write it out. What are we doing? I know there's
- 15:38Speaker 2: a strategy to this, I get it. But if they're
- 15:41Speaker 2: I mean, Congress has to do something right. I mean,
- 15:46Speaker 2: these people have to be censured, don't they. I mean,
- 15:49Speaker 2: isn't there gonna be some fallout from this? Don't give
- 15:56Speaker 2: up the ship. That's what they say. It's just one
- 16:00Speaker 2: hoax after the next. It's this one. We're gonna pretend
- 16:04Speaker 2: that something bad has happened, and we're gonna just throw
- 16:08Speaker 2: it out there and just let it roll. That's what
- 16:11Speaker 2: we're gonna do. We're just gonna let it roll. How
- 16:14Speaker 2: about this. You have to obey the legal orders and
- 16:19Speaker 2: the ones that they don't like, or legal orders. They've
- 16:21Speaker 2: already told you. They don't have any specific things that
- 16:24Speaker 2: he did that were illegal. And they're also supposed to
- 16:29Speaker 2: uphold the law, the constitution of the land. They took
- 16:33Speaker 2: an oath to do it. They're putting politics ahead of
- 16:37Speaker 2: our safety. They're putting politics ahead of our standing in
- 16:41Speaker 2: the world. They're putting politics above all of it. This
- 16:46Speaker 2: is just a ploy. This is an attempt to smear.
- 16:49Speaker 2: That's really all it is. Years ago, Jill and I
- 16:52Speaker 2: were talking about the fact that when you make a
- 16:54Speaker 2: purchase for something that you're going to use every single
- 16:58Speaker 2: day and for many hours every single day, it's worth
- 17:03Speaker 2: making sure that you purchase something that's high quality and
- 17:06Speaker 2: it's something that's going to last for a really long time.
- 17:09Speaker 2: And one of those things that we focused on was
- 17:12Speaker 2: bed sheets and bedding, because you spend at least a
- 17:16Speaker 2: third of every day in your bed eight hours a
- 17:20Speaker 2: day or so, maybe six to seven, it depends on
- 17:24Speaker 2: how much you sleep, but you might spend about eight
- 17:26Speaker 2: hours a day in the bed, and you want the
- 17:28Speaker 2: sheets to feel nice, you want them to last a
- 17:31Speaker 2: really long time, because that's the other thing. When you
- 17:34Speaker 2: get a nice set of sheets, you want them to
- 17:36Speaker 2: last a really long time. Well, let's talk about Cozy Earth.
- 17:40Speaker 2: The folks at Cozy Earth have their bamboo sheet sets.
- 17:43Speaker 2: They're cooling, they're comfortable, and they have an unparalleled softness
- 17:48Speaker 2: and they've got thousands of five star reviews for their products.
- 17:54Speaker 2: And not only are we talking about bed sheets, we're
- 17:57Speaker 2: also talking about other bedding. We're talking about jamas. Yes,
- 18:01Speaker 2: we're in that time of year where people want to

- 21:09Speaker 2: care of square in that away for you, and while
- 21:11Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
- 21:14Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
- 21:16Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
- 21:21Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
- 21:23Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
- 21:25Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
- 21:29Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
- 21:32Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or
- 21:35Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
- 21:42Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
- 21:45Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
- 21:47Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know,
- 21:51Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
- 21:54Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
- 21:56Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
- 21:58Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
- 22:01Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
- 22:04Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
- 22:06Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
- 22:09Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
- 22:12Speaker 2: those as well. Seven six thy five eight forty five

- 22:19Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
- 22:23Speaker 2: after the break, Well, many of you have already traveled
- 22:36Speaker 2: for the Thanksgiving holiday. Maybe you decided to stay put,
- 22:40Speaker 2: but you're going to try to travel for Christmas. A
- 22:43Speaker 2: lot of people decided to do that because obviously we
- 22:46Speaker 2: had a government shutdown, We had issues with flight that
- 22:51Speaker 2: was just getting in the air was questionable for this
- 22:53Speaker 2: time of year. If that wasn't going to be resolved. However,
- 22:57Speaker 2: this Thanksgiving holiday, Triple A expecting record travel and some
- 23:03Speaker 2: of you've already been part of it. According to Triple A,
- 23:06Speaker 2: a record eighty two million Americans expected to travel for Thanksgiving,
- 23:09Speaker 2: about one point six million more than last year. Of those,
- 23:13Speaker 2: ninety percent will be driving. See that's where that comes in.
- 23:16Speaker 2: About seven point five percent are going to actually fly.
- 23:20Speaker 2: And basically today and tomorrow the busiest days to actually
- 23:25Speaker 2: get on the roads, and experts say get an early
- 23:29Speaker 2: start to avoid the worst of the travel experiences, including traffic,
- 23:34Speaker 2: and the same goes for that Sunday when you're maybe
- 23:37Speaker 2: coming back home. So if you're traveling with kids, there's
- 23:41Speaker 2: a survey that found that parents hit peak stress about
- 23:44Speaker 2: three and a half hours into the trip. Twenty eight
- 23:47Speaker 2: percent of respondent said they would rather listen to Baby
- 23:49Speaker 2: Shark on repeat for their entire trip than deal with
- 23:52Speaker 2: the screaming child. Thirteen percent would opt out, would opt
- 23:56Speaker 2: for a root canal I should say over holiday travel changes.
- 24:00Speaker 2: One of the biggest challenges parents face when traveling with
- 24:03Speaker 2: kids is keeping them entertained. Sixty four percent ranked it
- 24:06Speaker 2: as the most demanding task. Other challenges include managing temper tantrums,
- 24:11Speaker 2: locating bathrooms, and the constant will be there yet questions
- 24:14Speaker 2: from the back seat. You can settle all that. I
- 24:17Speaker 2: know you want to limit screen time, but sometimes when
- 24:20Speaker 2: you're traveling, you just got to let them have the screens.
- 24:22Speaker 2: Cuts out a lot of those problems. Does it fix
- 24:24Speaker 2: the bathroom one? But maybe if you've got a kid
- 24:26Speaker 2: who's savvy enough, say hey, find us the next bathroom
- 24:29Speaker 2: we can go to UH to keep the peace during
- 24:33Speaker 2: holiday travel, sixty one percent of parents surveyed said that
- 24:36Speaker 2: they do relax the rules and this what I'm talking about,
- 24:38Speaker 2: the screen time thing. They do feed more junk food
- 24:41Speaker 2: on the trips. Bedtimes kind of go out the window,
- 24:45Speaker 2: and they say, even though they're stressed. According to the survey,
- 24:49Speaker 2: ninety three percent of parents said that it's all worth
- 24:52Speaker 2: the effort looking ahead a little bit to the Christmas
- 24:57Speaker 2: part of all of this, and if you're traveling for
- 24:59Speaker 2: Thanksgiving and taking gifts that are going to be for
- 25:03Speaker 2: Christmas and leaving them behind because you're not traveling for Christmas,
- 25:07Speaker 2: TSA agents saying, look, it's tempting to wrap the gifts
- 25:11Speaker 2: before you leave, but it's not a good idea to
- 25:14Speaker 2: put them in your carry on because if there is
- 25:16Speaker 2: some sort of an issue, TSA agents have to tear
- 25:20Speaker 2: those packages open, and then all of your wrapping has
- 25:22Speaker 2: been for naught. Now, maybe it's worth the chance, right,
- 25:26Speaker 2: maybe you'd take a shot at it and then it
- 25:28Speaker 2: doesn't and then you're wrapped. But they do also recommend
- 25:31Speaker 2: you bring just some of the supplies, or you use
- 25:34Speaker 2: a gift bag or boxes that have removable lids. That
- 25:36Speaker 2: way they don't have to be torn open. So some
- 25:38Speaker 2: tips there for that. And also if you're flying and
- 25:44Speaker 2: you're one of those people that's going to be heading
- 25:45Speaker 2: out maybe today or tomorrow and a plane for Thanksgiving
- 25:50Speaker 2: or closer to Christmas. Another thing, just a reminder you
- 25:54Speaker 2: want to take some of those sanitizing wipes, wipe the
- 25:57Speaker 2: tray table down, anything that would get touched a lot
- 26:01Speaker 2: in your seat when you're flying, because nobody wants to
- 26:04Speaker 2: show up care patient zero at a meal with family
- 26:09Speaker 2: and friends. Nobody wants to do that, and there's a
- 26:12Speaker 2: lot of stuff going around. It's been in my house.
- 26:15Speaker 2: We've already had at least one Patient zero in that
- 26:18Speaker 2: and I don't think anybody else got it. So hopefully
- 26:21Speaker 2: we managed to dodge that by being very very careful.
- 26:24Speaker 2: But just a heads up on that, just you know,
- 26:27Speaker 2: be careful. Back to the wrapping paper thing, I want
- 26:31Speaker 2: to mention this. Cinnabon is selling cinnamon roll scented wrapping paper.
- 26:35Speaker 2: It's eight ninety nine. You get two sheets, one's teal
- 26:40Speaker 2: one's pink, both covered in Cinnabon themed icons, and each
- 26:45Speaker 2: pack includes a twenty percent off coupon for Cinnabon or
- 26:48Speaker 2: schlot Skis and it is valid through February first, and
- 26:54Speaker 2: you can get them at Cinnabon a website and it's
- 26:56Speaker 2: said it's got that smell. See, it would make me
- 27:00Speaker 2: mad Christmas morning if I'm opening up a present and
- 27:02Speaker 2: it smells like Cinnabon and I don't have Cinnabon in
- 27:05Speaker 2: front of me now, granted, eventually going to Sinnabon, you know,
- 27:10Speaker 2: if there's a gift card involved, but I don't know.
- 27:13Speaker 2: I don't want to smell it if I can't eat it,
- 27:16Speaker 2: you know, that's tough. Of course, Black Friday is just
- 27:20Speaker 2: about snagging deals. There's a psychological game that plays with
- 27:23Speaker 2: how our brains make decisions. According to research, when we're
- 27:27Speaker 2: under pressure, like during flash shales, our brains lower the
- 27:31Speaker 2: bar for decision making, pushing us to act fast and
- 27:34Speaker 2: often impulsively. That's why they do those things. You got
- 27:37Speaker 2: eight hours, you got six minutes, make your decision. Retailers
- 27:42Speaker 2: use it only a few left. That's another one. And
- 27:45Speaker 2: those things create a sense of scarcity, and it makes
- 27:48Speaker 2: items feel more valuable. The urgency triggers fear of missing
- 27:52Speaker 2: out that fomo, so we make those fast purchases that
- 27:55Speaker 2: might not be the best choices, might not do our
- 27:58Speaker 2: research on some of those you know Amazon deals. When
- 28:01Speaker 2: you go wow, this sounds like a great deal, and
- 28:03Speaker 2: if you just did the research, you'd go wow, it
- 28:05Speaker 2: was the same price two weeks ago. So plan ahead,
- 28:08Speaker 2: set a budget, and pause before clicking buy can help
- 28:11Speaker 2: your brain and wallet. Keep all of that in check.
- 28:14Speaker 2: Just some advice as we get closer to Black Friday. Well,
- 28:18Speaker 2: we're now into holiday shopping season, and I have some
- 28:21Speaker 2: good news for you. If there's someone in your life
