  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, twenty, first day of November. I'm Wes. Thanks
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: for joining me. A week from Black Friday, less than
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: a week to Thanksgiving. It's all happening, it's all coming together.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: We'll give you another alternative to a traditional Thanksgiving meal
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: coming up a little bit later in the show. Another
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: option if it's something that you would especially if you
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: don't really like turkey. You know, that's what it is.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that coming up just a little bit
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: later in the show. I know a lot of the
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: area kids. This is their last day of school before
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: next week's Thanksgiving holiday, the break, whatever they call it,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know. They do call it Thanksgiving break, don't they.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I get confused because some holidays they can't acknowledge by
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: name for some reason, even though everybody knows what it is.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I think most people still just call it Christmas Break.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I know that sometimes there's other holidays going on at
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the same time. I mean, there's some in there, but
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: there's one that kind of moves around. Sometimes it falls
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: in there. So of course we have to, you know,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: not hurt anyone's feelings. That ties into what we've been
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: talking about all week. We've been playing by the rules
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: for years. We've been doing our best, we really have,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and it's just never been enough. Hast So it is.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I guess Thanksgiving break now. I don't know how many
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: area schools. I think that most of them are going
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: to get And I know this is you know, depending
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: on where you're listening. We're doing the show in the
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Chattahoochee Valley in Georgia, in western Georgia and into East Alabama.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: That's our area. That's where we're doing the show from
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and down into Fort Benning, which is the name again,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: that's the main area where we have schools for our
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: listening area. And I know that. I guess I don't know,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: probably not all of them, but I know that many
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: of them will have the whole week off next week.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Other parts of the country I think don't get the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: whole week off, maybe summer. I know that when we
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: were kids, it feels like I think I don't know
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: of a time when we got the whole week off.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I think we at least went the beginning of the week.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: There may have been some years we went Monday Tuesday.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I think we usually went through Wednesday and then we
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: got Thursday, Friday off. We were back at it Monday.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I believe maybe I'm wrong. Someone can remind me if
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I went to school with you that it was different.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: That's what I remember. Anyway, I don't remember this entire week.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I'm glad, believe me. As uber dad. When you do
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: this for a job and your bride has an odd
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: job that involves being in an office and doing visits
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: and things, then I become uber dad. So I'm excited
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: about getting a little bit of a break myself. I'm
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: not complaining. It's not I still not have to shuttle kids.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I got to do it today and then next week
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I get a break from it a little bit. So
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I'm excited about that. But it's just a lot of
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: shuffling kids from from point A to point B and
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: trying to get them to where they need to be
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: and when they need to be there, and all of
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: those fun things. It's a lot. I'm not going I
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: want to say I'm not complaining. I am complaining a bit.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I'm trying not to complain too much. How about that?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Is that fair that I'm trying not to complain too much.
• 3:31

• 5:08
  Speaker 2: friday before we roll into the week of Thanksgiving, and
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: that means, because it's Friday, we're going to jump into
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: some good news first and foremost, some positive, happy stories
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: before we get into the strange and bizarre news from
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: around the world. We're going to start in North Carolina. Raleigh,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: North Carolina. To be exact, it's not an Andy Griffith story.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Jalen Snipes just wrapped up a five day, one hundred
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and fifty mile run from Raleigh to Charlotte, doing the
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: run for charity. He spent forty four hours on the
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: road in his journey, wearing a Charlotte fire t shirt
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: as he ran his final mile through the city escorted
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: by Charlotte Fire Engine eleven. At the Firehouse finish line,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: he was celebrated by Charlotte firefighters along with his friends
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: and family. Along the way, he raised more than ten
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars for the North Carolina Firefighters Fund, which supports
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: firefighters and their families across the state. Jalen has a
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: special personal gratitude for firefighters. In twenty eleven, his family's
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: home was struck by lightning in a storm. Firefighters were
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: able to get the blaze under control before it destroyed everything,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: and with his amazing trek, he was able to give back.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I'm super excited to be able to be out here,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: but our feet on the ground for the North Carolina
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Firefighters Fund and all the North Carolina firefighters across the state.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Just show them love on this pavement. I like it. It's
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: a nice story. He's got a Forest Gump kind of
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: feel to it, you know, just running good for him.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I like it, and I liked it. He's got a
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: personal story, personal reason that he wanted to give back back.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: In nineteen twenty nine, the Hospital Thrift Shop opened in Nantucket, Massachusetts.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: A group of volunteers came together to provide affordable clothes
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: and household goods for the community and donate some of
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the proceeds to the Nantucket Cottage Hospital. That year, they
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: donated six hundred and three dollars. This year, the shop's
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: ninety sixth selling season, they broke a record and gave
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the hospital a staggering six hundred sixty thousand dollars. That's
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: a little more than six hundred and three. The great
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: success had a lot to do with the community donating
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: clothes and household goods. Mary Casey, the Thrift shops executive director, said,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: we saw more donations than in the past. We kept
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: our inventory well stocked and treasures for all of our shoppers.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Through the decades, the hospital Thrift Shop has donated more
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: than eight million dollars. This year's gift will help build
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: employee housing and a new physical therapy area. I like
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: it people doing good work this time of year. We
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: certainly need it. All right, Let's jump into some strange
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and bizarre news from around the world, and as tends
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: to be the case, especially here lately, we begin in Florida.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Police in Miami he say that a sixty three year
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: old man was arrested after an outburst at an assisted
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: living facility, and the reason was soup. Officers say Osvaldo
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Nievez became furious when the facility ran out of soup
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: during dinner. Witnesses told police he started yelling and then
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: he grabbed a two foot metal vase or vase if
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: you will, if you want to be fancy, and smashed
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: it on the floor. When another resident stepped in to
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: protect staff, Nievez allegedly threw the vase at him. I'm
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: going to go with v Oz because it's a classy story,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: hitting him in the chest and leg. The man suffered
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: minor injuries, but managed to lead Nievez out of the
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: building and punch him in the face to stop the attack.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Please say that Neevez went back to his room and
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: then fell asleep. Staff told officers he's known for aggressive behavior.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: He was taken to the hospital, then booked into jail
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: on an aggravated battery charge involving a person over sixty five?
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Would you have gotten that same charge if he were
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: over sixty five because he's sixty three. In the fact
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: that I mean, I'm not advocating for assaulting people over
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: sixty five. I'm just pointing out the fact that it's
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: a two year gap. It's only two years. Again, I'm
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: not defending it. I'm just pointing out the fact that
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: that's a weird charge for someone who's sixty three. I mean,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I do understand he's not sixty five himself. When you
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: follow me here on this there's some cases where you
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: just kind of go, you know, there's a close window there.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Two years.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: If the thought.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Of I'm not an apologist for this guy, If the
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: thought of walking into a bathroom and finding a snake
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: hanging out in there sounds like something that would give
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: you nightmares, then the following story would be bad. A
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: family in Malaysia never expected what they found in their
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: bathroom ceiling. It was a fifteen year old girl in
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the house, walked in, heard a strange noise up above.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: She noticed a hole in the ceiling, called for her mother,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: who took a closer look and was shocked to find
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: a snake. And that's underselling it. It was a one
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: hundred and twenty pound python. She told the news. It
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: was so big that I screamed out loud. I have
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: never seen such a big snake in front of my eyes.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: It's believed that the snake came from a nearby swamp,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: slithered up a tree and then into the house. Officers
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: with Malaysia's Civil Defense Force were called in to wrangle
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: the python. No simple task. They used hooks and wire
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: loops to grab it until it finally came crashing down
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: to the floor. The snake was carried out and relocated
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to a wilderness area away from the house. I'm wondering
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: if organizations like you know, PETA would say, why did
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: you throw it on the floor. You could have heard him.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: He didn't do anything wrong. What did he do wrong?
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Why would you hurt him? It's a big snake, one
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: hundred and twenty pounds. Of course he's going to hit
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: the floor hard. He weighs one hundred and twenty pounds.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: And Indiana man jailed for an unusual crime of calling
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: nine one one. Police in Evansville say that Luther Hanaway
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: dialed the emergency service claiming that he was having a
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: spiritual awakening after drinking too much caffeine. Officers were dispatched
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: to his location, which was a gas station. I was
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: hoping it was the Hardys there in Evansville. I've eaten
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: at that Hardy's and arrived at the scene to find
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: an EMS worker who a biscuit. I had a biscuit there.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: I didn't have too much coffee, but I was I
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: don't know seventeen, maybe I where was I? Officers would
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: dispatched the location, which was a gas station, not a
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Hearty's arrived at the scene to find an EMS worker
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: who told him that Hanaway had stopped her and asked
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: for help with something that he called the Galactic Federation,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: which might be referring to a conspiracy theory that there's
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: a coalition of extraterrestrial civilians promoting peace in the galaxy. Well,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: what else would they be doing. That's exactly what they'd
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: be doing, promoting peace. If it had been at Harty's,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: That's what it would have been. Whatever he was talking about.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Officers discovered he had contacted nine to one to one
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: nearly a dozen times since November two. Now faces charges
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: of misusing emergency services. Not the kind of thing someone
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: would do if they were really promoting peace. Authorities in
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Thailand arrested two men for monkeying around near the Cambodian border,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: specifically trying to travel across the border with eighty one
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: monkeys crammed into bags along with a stash of methamphetamine.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Both aren't good. I don't know how much myth they had,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: but neither of these things is good. When you're crossing
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: a border. Depending on how much meth it was, maybe
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: we'll find out. Let's see. The suspects were stopped during
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: a routine patrol. Authority say the man admitted they were
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: part of a smuggling ring and they were moving the
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: gear across the board into Cambodia. The monkeys and high
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: demand on the black market, often ending up in labs
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: and exotic pet trades across Asia. Officials seized the animals
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: and the drugs, and both men face charges under wildlife
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: protection and narcotics laws. Thailand has long been a hotspot
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: for wildlife trafficking. The rescued monkeys are being cared for
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: at a local wildlife center. That's good. I'm not making
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: light of the monkey, because that's not good. You know,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: smuggling monkeys is not good. I'm just pointing out the
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: fact that, depending on how much meth it was, that
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: could be worse. But all right, here's another one. Volunteer
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: at an art museum in Taiwan got himself into an
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: awkward spot recently when he unknowingly destroyed a work of
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: art it was on display, but not necessarily his fault.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: The artwork on display at the Kilung Museum of Art
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: is titled Inverted Syntac sixteen. Consisted of a dust covered
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: mirror mounted on a wooden board with a smudge in
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: the center. The piece is supposed to represent the distorted
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: self awareness of the middle class. The volunteer looked at it,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: thought it was nothing but a dirty mirror, and desperately
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: needed to clean it, so he did. Museum officials had
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: to apologize to the artist, Chen Sung Chi, and are
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: said to be considering compensation for the damaged piece. You know,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: you could just smudge it again. I don't know how
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: the smudge got there, but it could be resmudged. I'm
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: not making light of the art of this particular artist.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I'm just pointing out you could always smudge it again.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: And finally, a Montana man crash his SUV into another
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: vehicle told police he wasn't driving drunk. The reason he
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: crashed it was because he was driving while trying to
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: urinate into an empty Budweiser can fifty not a Florida story.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: A fifty three year old James Howard slammed his Chevy
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Suburban in the back of a Volkswagon. When officers arrived,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: they saw the beer can of the vehicle and immediately
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: suspected he was intoxicated. Howard, however, handed over the can
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: and explained it was filled with urine and not beer.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Officers noted that he smelled of alcohol and was slurring
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: his speech. Howard then told him that he had more
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: than a couple of DUIs on his record and it
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: was not supposed to be driving. Background check confirmed multiple
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: DUIs and that he had his license suspended. When confronted
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: about this, Howard said, I'm going to jail for a
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: blanking long time. It seems likely police charged him with
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: aggravated DUI, reckless driving, and driving with a suspended license.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, just peeing in the I mean, if he's
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: driving intoxicated and he had the presence of mind to
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: pee in the empty beer cans to try to cover
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: his tracks, I mean, it shows he wasn't completely unable
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: to drive clearly, right.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: So we talked.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Already about the fact that we're a week away from
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Black Friday. Black Friday has already begun at cozyearth dot com.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: We've talked on the show over the past few weeks
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: about betting. We've talked about pajamas, We've talked about the
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: things that you may be wear or use eight hours
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: a day at least sometimes longer if you spend time
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: in bed or in your pajamas. You want it to
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: be something that's quality. You wanted something to be, to
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: be something that's comfortable. You want to be something it's
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: going to last. You want all of those things. Well,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Cozy Earth has all your needs covered when it comes
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: to comfort coziness calling it the coiest time of the year.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: And you go to their website.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at it right now. It says Black Friday
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: starts now. Save up to twenty five percent site. Why
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: that's nothing. How about you say forty one percent by
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: using the promo code Wes Wes. I heard a nationally
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: syndicated radio show yesterday talking about this very site, these
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: very products, saying I've got you a forty percent discount
• 17:25

• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: square in that away for you, and while they're there,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: you just want a little man caved you'd like to
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought. Of having your car trapped
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six three five eight forty five

• 21:28
  Speaker 3: West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break, Well, we're now.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Less than a week to Thanksgiving, a week away from
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Black Friday, So I mean, do you have.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: What you need?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: I know, we've been telling you about some of the
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: different places that have Thanksgiving feasts on special and on sale,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: different discounts on them, different options for where you can
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: get your food, and even a couple of alternatives. And
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: here's another one. KFC is offering their extra Crispy Festive Feast,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: So no traditional turkey, but eight pieces of fried chicken,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: two large mashed potatoes, four biscuits, and a gravy flight
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: featuring classic white peppercorn in Southwest cheddar flavored gravy, all
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: for just twenty five dollars. And they've also got their
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: personal pot pie back for just four ninety nine. So
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's another option. Maybe turkey's not your thing,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: you'd rather do chicken twenty five bucks sounds like you
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: can have a pretty decent meal. As I mean, I
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: know a few people who would eat it for one.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I know at least one person who would definitely eat
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: it for one. Instead of waiting till January first to
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: dive into your New year's resolutions, experts suggest soft launching
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: them pretty much now or maybe into December. Basically, it
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: gives you time to test the waters and build confidence
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: and avoid the all or nothing mindset that often leads
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: to failure. Research showing forty three percent of people abandon
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: their resolutions within a month, mostly due to lack of
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: motivation and unrealistic goals. Starting early with like small changes
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: and then you know, eating better or cutting back on
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: screen time, and it makes it a little less overwhelming
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: when January rolls around and helps those habits stick. Takes
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: time to get them into effect, plus over the holidays.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: As you get into the festive season, if you will,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: you get mental space that you can plan without pressure.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: So they say, think of it as a warm up.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Small steps mean that you can hit the ground running
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: into the new year. One of two things I think
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: happens when you talk about this festive season thing. One,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: you're either busy enough that you don't necessarily have time,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: so it makes it a little bit easier. Or conversely,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: you got people around and they're in your space and
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: you need some of your own time in space, and
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: maybe you will spend some more time on screens, or
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: maybe you could use that as motivation to get out
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: and you know, walk or exercise or something. There's a
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: few ways that you can look at it. Just start
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: planning ahead, I guess is the recommendation. So all right,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: let's talk about high school seniors and marriage plans. Seems
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: many high school seniors these days are not as eager
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: to tie the knots as previous generation, as girls leading
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: the shift. A new Pure Research report showing that only
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: sixty one percent of twelfth graders say that they want
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: to get married someday, compared to seventy four percent of boys.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Road those numbers don't match up. Back in nineteen ninety three,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: the numbers were flipped. It was more girls at eighty
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: three percent than boys at seventy six percent dreaming of marriage. Overall,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: just sixty seven percent of high school seniors now expect
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: to marry, down from eighty percent three decades ago. Interest
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: in having kids has also dropped forty eight percent as
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three, sixty four percent back in ninety three.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Fewer teens saying that they'd stay married for life, yikes.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: And it seems young people are more focused on flexibility
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: and personal goals than traditional milestones like marriage and family.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: So that's a sad trend. And when we hear people
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: saying things like you, uh, you know, we got to
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: worry about our population dying off, this is what they're
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: talking about. And I do think that computers and AI
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: are having an impact on all of those things. So
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to fix it. Short answer is,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to fix it. I don't know
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: how to fix the trend. I just hope that we don't.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: You know, this mindset that has been shoved down our
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: throats for a while that were overpopulated. This could be
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: really bad. So I'd rather be overpopulated than you know, extinct.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: So there's a noodle restaurant in South Korea that's gone
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: viral for its controversial dining stance. Solo diners not allowed.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: The sign on the door says, we don't sell loneliness, please,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: don't come alone. There's four options. You can pay for
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: two servings and eat two servings. You can call a friend,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: or you can come back with your wife next time. Yeah,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: there you go. Restaurant claims it's about efficiency. One person
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: at a four seat table isn't ideal, with cost soaring
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: and social media buzzing with debate, many arguing it's not
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: fair to turn away singles. So, I mean, I get it.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: It's a business. They're laying out the It's like the
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: restaurants in some places. I think there's one in Disney
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: where you know, they can get on to you for
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: putting your elbows on the table, make you finish your
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: food before you're allowed to order dessert, those kinds of things.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: If you go in expecting it, then I think you know.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: And they've got a sign on the door. I think
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: that probably should lay things out for you. I don't
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: think you can complain too much if you walk in
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: the door and the rules are clearly stated. So, with
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Black Friday a week away, let's just start thinking about
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: maybe some of those gifts for those people in your
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: life that have everything, or they think they have everything,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: maybe you haven't even considered getting them ready for an emergency,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: getting them ready if something terrible should happen. We don't
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: like to think about it, but it has to be
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: somewhere in the back of our minds, and sometimes we
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: just pretend that we're going to be ready if something
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: horrible happens, and the time to prep was yesterday. But
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: the good news is, thanks to prep starts now, you
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: can get everything that you need should there be some
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: sort of horrible disaster, whether it's weather, whether it's civil unrest,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: whatever it should be, whatever it might be. Prep starts now,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: as you covered, and they've thought of things that you
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: probably have never even thought about. When it comes to
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: shopping to prepare for disaster, whether it's camping gear, whether
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: it's vitamins and supplements, you probably think, oh, I've got
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: batteries and a flashlight and some candles. Have you considered
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: the fact that there's some specific tools that you might need.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: You might need something to clean up your own water.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: You got to maybe filter some water should things go
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: south quickly. First eight essentials. Also, of course emergency food
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: prep that may be one you thought of. Seventy two
• 28:50
