Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, fourteenth day of August. Tom West, thanks for
0:14
Speaker 2: joining me. The Trump Elon fallout continues on even into
0:24
Speaker 2: this morning. Just two guys, two rich guys, sitting down
0:30
Speaker 2: having a conversation. I think that's the way the Harris
0:32
Speaker 2: campaign referred to it. Just a couple of rich guys talking.
0:35
Speaker 2: That's all that they're doing. Before we get to that
0:38
Speaker 2: and before we get to the other, which should be
0:41
Speaker 2: a major red flag and concern for us about the
0:46
Speaker 2: coverage of the Trump and Elon conversation. I just want
0:51
Speaker 2: to mention again Dragon Con pregame show coming up in
0:53
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, twenty fourth and twenty fifth of August,
0:58
Speaker 2: where you'll get a chance to hear everything you need
1:01
Speaker 2: to know to get ready for Dragon Con twenty twenty
1:03
Speaker 2: four in downtown Atlanta and as it happens, every single
1:07
Speaker 2: Labor Day weekend this year, Ross mar Kwan also Kristin
1:14
Speaker 2: Kruk from Small Sorry, Ross Markwan from The Walking Dead,
1:18
Speaker 2: and a bunch of other stuff. I'm just gonna name
1:21
Speaker 2: one thing that they're in Kristin Kruk from the show Smallville,
1:26
Speaker 2: and Catherine Tate from the Office you Know, and doctor Who.
1:31
Speaker 2: But I said I was gonna say just one thing,
1:33
Speaker 2: and possibly some other guests, and we'll talk with the
1:36
Speaker 2: spokesperson from dragon Con as well as the charity sponsor
1:42
Speaker 2: for this year, which is the Arthritis Foundation. We'll probably
1:45
Speaker 2: also talk with doctor Sean Crusen because the Coca Cola
1:48
Speaker 2: Space Science Center sponsoring our coverage of dragon Con this year.
1:51
Speaker 2: You can hear past versions of the dragon Con Pregame
1:54
Speaker 2: Show over on the dragon Con Pregame Show podcast. Wherever
1:58
Speaker 2: you are listening to this podcast, it is there and
2:01
Speaker 2: waiting for you now, including a previous interview I did
2:05
Speaker 2: with Ross Markwand which was part of a award winning
2:09
Speaker 2: show from the Gabby Awards. So this year we follow
2:12
Speaker 2: up on that. We had a chance to talk again. Yeah,
2:16
Speaker 2: he came into Columbus and we hung out and talked again.
2:18
Speaker 2: So when we had microphones, we had recording devices, we
2:24
Speaker 2: thought in a videographer, it puts some free child labor
2:28
Speaker 2: to work in Jake, and we just did an interview there.
2:30
Speaker 2: So there'll be video of that one at some point
2:33
Speaker 2: for you. So anyway, that'll be on two hundred radio
2:36
Speaker 2: stations around the state of Georgia as well as on
2:39
Speaker 2: the dragoncm pregame show podcast. We'll have that for you
2:42
Speaker 2: coming up in a couple of weeks, less than a
2:45
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, a week and a half, something like that.
2:48
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about Trump and Elon. I think
2:56
Speaker 2: it's interesting that these two guys sit down and talk.
3:00
Speaker 2: And one of the first reactions that you get from it,
3:03
Speaker 2: first of all, the Harris campaign calling them just a
3:06
Speaker 2: couple of white guys. They didn't say white guys. They
3:08
Speaker 2: said rich guys. I think they may have said a
3:11
Speaker 2: couple of rich white guys. I don't know, a couple
3:13
Speaker 2: of rich guys just sitting down and talking. And that's
3:18
Speaker 2: what it was. Okay, so it's a couple of rich
3:20
Speaker 2: guys sitting down talking. But who are they and why
3:24
Speaker 2: where is it important that they were sitting down and talking.
3:27
Speaker 2: They were attacked. They used it for fundraising. Hey, these
3:30
Speaker 2: are people that are trying to silence democracy. They're trying to,
3:33
Speaker 2: you know, destroy the country. Whatever the conversation is. What
3:37
Speaker 2: was the most interesting about the reaction to it to
3:42
Speaker 2: me was what happened in the White House briefing room
3:49
Speaker 2: as the Washington Post their journalist's name Cleave. Is it
3:56
Speaker 2: Clever clev Cleave Woodson Woodson, I don't know. I'm not
4:00
Speaker 2: familiar with his work. I am now he got really
4:02
Speaker 2: famous yesterday started to ask Karee John Pierre about the
4:09
Speaker 2: whole interview on X. So this was Elon Musk on
4:13
Speaker 2: his platform X talking with the former president and I
4:17
Speaker 2: guess they talked I don't know, two hours or whatever.
4:19
Speaker 2: It was nice, long talk. There was a difficulty getting
4:23
Speaker 2: it started right away. There have been these sorts of
4:25
Speaker 2: issues they went through something I guess with Ron de
4:29
Speaker 2: Santis with his campaign. They had some hiccups with it.
4:33
Speaker 2: And my good friend Sean Crusen does a great job
4:37
Speaker 2: of explaining the methodology of the way that Elon and
4:41
Speaker 2: SpaceX do their work, and you can hear we talk
4:46
Speaker 2: about it a lot over on the Mate of Stars podcast.
4:48
Speaker 2: Also where you are listening to this podcast, you can
4:52
Speaker 2: listen to that one. But basically, SpaceX as a company,
4:56
Speaker 2: when they launch rockets, they have this method that they
5:00
Speaker 2: use where they say, we would like to launch a rocket,
5:04
Speaker 2: so let's take a rocket and let's put it on
5:07
Speaker 2: a launch pad and let's launch it. And they fire
5:10
Speaker 2: up the engines and it blows up on the launch
5:12
Speaker 2: pad and they go, okay, well, now we know not
5:15
Speaker 2: to do that way. So as soon as they possibly can,
5:19
Speaker 2: they get the launch pad repaired and fixed, and then
5:21
Speaker 2: they put another rocket on it and they say, let's
5:23
Speaker 2: launch this one, and the engines fire and the rocket
5:26
Speaker 2: goes a couple of one hundred feet in the air
5:28
Speaker 2: and it blows up, and then they go, okay, well,
5:30
Speaker 2: now we know how to fix that. And it's just
5:34
Speaker 2: the method that they use. This is when it's a
5:37
Speaker 2: private company and you're able to do that. When you're
5:39
Speaker 2: NASA and you're using money from a taxpayers, it's different.
5:45
Speaker 2: There's a different system in place. So and then eventually
5:51
Speaker 2: SpaceX goes through this whole process and then they're launching
5:55
Speaker 2: rockets and then the rocket actually comes back and lands
5:58
Speaker 2: vertically on a launch pad. They're able to reuse that
6:02
Speaker 2: multiple times. Excuse me, That is the way SpaceX does things.
6:09
Speaker 2: It's not a surprise to me that Elon Musk and
6:12
Speaker 2: his company now X says we're going to we're gonna
6:18
Speaker 2: go live, We're gonna get as many people on this
6:21
Speaker 2: as possible, and we're going to do this interview and
6:26
Speaker 2: it's going to have this massive break the Internet moment.
6:29
Speaker 2: And it did, and people mocked him for it. But
6:33
Speaker 2: that's the way he does things. I think that's the
6:35
Speaker 2: way he did it with the Ron De Santis announcement.
6:39
Speaker 2: That's the way he did this with this interview with Trump.
6:43
Speaker 2: Just gets it out there. That's what he does. That's
6:46
Speaker 2: the way he does business. You get it done. Maybe
6:48
Speaker 2: it fails, we know how to fix it next time.
6:52
Speaker 2: So and maybe he'll get a chance, maybe Kamala Harris
6:54
Speaker 2: will take him up on his offer to come on X. Yeah. Right,
6:57
Speaker 2: sure that's gonna happen. He did offer, all right. So
7:00
Speaker 2: Cleeve Wootson with the Washington Post had questions for Kareem
7:07
Speaker 2: John Pierre, the Press Secretary. He says, I think that
7:11
Speaker 2: misinformation on Twitter is not just a campaign issue, it's
7:15
Speaker 2: an America issue. What role does the White House or
7:21
Speaker 2: the President have in sort of stopping that or stopping
7:25
Speaker 2: the spread of that, or intervening Some of that was
7:29
Speaker 2: about campaign misinformation, but you know it's a wider thing, right.
7:35
Speaker 2: Kareem John Pierre's response to that was don't have anything
7:38
Speaker 2: to read out from here about specific ways that we're
7:40
Speaker 2: working on it, but we do believe we have a responsibility.
7:43
Speaker 2: These are private companies, so we're also mindful of that too.
7:48
Speaker 2: But look, it's incredibly important to call that out as
7:51
Speaker 2: you're doing. I just don't have any specifics on what
7:55
Speaker 2: we've been doing internally as it relates to the interviews,
7:58
Speaker 2: and it's something that I'm tracking. Okay, so let's go
8:03
Speaker 2: back to Kleeve Wootson. What this is a reporter who
8:10
Speaker 2: does his job every day under the protection of the
8:14
Speaker 2: First Amendment, and he doesn't understand it. I think if
8:17
Speaker 2: you if the very premise of what you do falls
8:23
Speaker 2: under you know, something in the Bill of Rights, you
8:27
Speaker 2: should probably have a really good understanding of that. You
8:31
Speaker 2: should have a solid understanding of how that works. It's
8:36
Speaker 2: kind of like if you wanted to be the general
8:38
Speaker 2: manager of a baseball team, you should probably understand a
8:41
Speaker 2: little bit about, you know, managing players on a baseball team.
8:47
Speaker 2: You should know a little bit about budgeting. You should
8:49
Speaker 2: know a little bit about, you know, the importance of
8:52
Speaker 2: communication with the manager of the team. You should know
8:56
Speaker 2: a little bit about maybe baseball statistics, those things might
9:00
Speaker 2: all come in handy. If you don't understand that, maybe
9:04
Speaker 2: you shouldn't have the job. If you're the head coach
9:08
Speaker 2: of a football team, maybe you should have some general
9:11
Speaker 2: understanding of the sport, you know, the game itself, basic fundamentals.
9:17
Speaker 2: If you're a journalist, maybe you should have an understanding
9:21
Speaker 2: of the First Amendment and how you shouldn't be silencing
9:26
Speaker 2: people for having opinions that you have deemed dangerous, for
9:31
Speaker 2: having thoughts and opinions and things that they want to
9:34
Speaker 2: express that you've deemed to be a jeopardy to the country,
9:41
Speaker 2: Like this is something that you are concerned about, and
9:44
Speaker 2: you've basically just waived your Kamala flag there in the
9:48
Speaker 2: press room by saying, oh, these are dangerous thoughts. They
9:52
Speaker 2: are dangerous thoughts to Harris, they're dangerous thoughts to the campaign,
9:56
Speaker 2: and not the dangerous kind of thoughts that you know,
9:58
Speaker 2: get you shot at. Those kind of things, I guess
10:02
Speaker 2: have started to pop back up again in the direction
10:04
Speaker 2: of Trump. And you know, Harris answered this in a
10:08
Speaker 2: way where she kind of said, you know, yeah, we're
10:11
Speaker 2: tracking it, but you know it's the fact that we're
10:16
Speaker 2: tracking it. We're mindful that it's a private company. Oh
10:19
Speaker 2: that's it. That's the end of the discussion. Right. It
10:22
Speaker 2: is a private company. And once upon a time, Twitter
10:27
Speaker 2: was their private company. Right, they were the ones that
10:30
Speaker 2: had control over what was on it. And I you know,
10:33
Speaker 2: there's still issues with Twitter, right, there's still issues with it.
10:36
Speaker 2: I don't spend a lot of time on there. I
10:38
Speaker 2: spend very little time on there if I can help it.
10:41
Speaker 2: But Elon Musk has done things to try to corral
10:45
Speaker 2: some of that stuff back in so that itself should
10:49
Speaker 2: be I think the first concern that we have. And
10:52
Speaker 2: I think there's just times where the left shows their
10:56
Speaker 2: hand and they didn't mean to. They absolutely didn't mean
11:01
Speaker 2: to show their hand in this particular case, but they
11:04
Speaker 2: did just by having this reporter speak. See, it's pretty
11:08
Speaker 2: obvious to most of us paying attention that the left
11:12
Speaker 2: is going to do everything they can to keep whatever
11:16
Speaker 2: momentum that Kamala Harris has going for as long as possible.
11:22
Speaker 2: They got to at least get her through this week,
11:24
Speaker 2: They got to get her to the convention next week
11:26
Speaker 2: and let her officially accept the nomination and all of that.
11:30
Speaker 2: Now on to the actual conversation between Trump and Elon Musk. Yes,
11:35
Speaker 2: it was two rich guys or two rich white guys
11:37
Speaker 2: or whatever the terminology was. I don't know. It's two
11:39
Speaker 2: rich guys talking. It was. It was two very successful
11:45
Speaker 2: businessmen talking. It was two people with influence.
11:48
Speaker 1: It was two.
11:49
Speaker 2: People with a following. This would be considered I could
11:54
Speaker 2: see where Cleave would find this to be concerning, because
11:59
Speaker 2: these are people that have a following, an actual grassroots following.
12:06
Speaker 2: This isn't something that has been just kind of created.
12:11
Speaker 2: This is something that's organic that's happened over years of
12:15
Speaker 2: these guys as businessmen. And keep in mind they used
12:19
Speaker 2: to both be very much on the left. Trump used
12:22
Speaker 2: to be a Democrat. Trump used to be on the left.
12:27
Speaker 2: Elon Musk only until just recently was fully prepared to
12:31
Speaker 2: support anybody on the left. Was he've considered himself left
12:35
Speaker 2: of center. I think he's the one who addressed a
12:40
Speaker 2: post that he did on Twitter or x whatever it
12:42
Speaker 2: was at the time where it showed, hey, I haven't
12:46
Speaker 2: moved the line. The center line has moved and it's
12:49
Speaker 2: gone on the other side of me, and that's now
12:51
Speaker 2: put me on the right. And I think he shared
12:54
Speaker 2: that and it made the point he hasn't really changed.
12:57
Speaker 2: There's been a number of people who've said that Bill
12:59
Speaker 2: Maher someone he didn't necessarily call himself on the right now,
13:02
Speaker 2: but he said the ideals that are moving way to
13:07
Speaker 2: the far left, that are radical, that don't make any
13:10
Speaker 2: sense to me, that's where they're losing me, and I
13:15
Speaker 2: think that's where they're losing a lot of people. So
13:18
Speaker 2: two guys that have had success, two guys that understand
13:22
Speaker 2: how to build a business to guys that know how
13:25
Speaker 2: to get things done. Two guys that approach things the
13:28
Speaker 2: way that you have to approach things when there's a
13:32
Speaker 2: lot at stake, because they've both been there. Donald Trump,
13:37
Speaker 2: you know, working in real estate, building buildings, that's what
13:41
Speaker 2: he's done. He is someone who has has an understanding
13:46
Speaker 2: of how to get things done, how to navigate through
13:52
Speaker 2: the waters of difficulty when you have to get things done.
13:55
Speaker 2: He understands how business gets done, how things get done,
13:59
Speaker 2: so to Elon Musk, and he has had a number
14:04
Speaker 2: of successful companies. He has taken, you know, electric cars
14:10
Speaker 2: to a place that a lot of people can say
14:13
Speaker 2: right now, oh yeah, electric cars aren't a good place.
14:15
Speaker 2: They wouldn't be there without him. They wouldn't be where
14:18
Speaker 2: they are without the work of Elon Musk. Fact, what
14:23
Speaker 2: Elon Musk has done for the rocket industry, if you will,
14:33
Speaker 2: the idea of launching a rocket and then having the
14:36
Speaker 2: booster come back down and land vertically, sometimes at sea,
14:41
Speaker 2: on a pad, and stand up and then be able
14:45
Speaker 2: to be used again multiple times. The sustainability. This is
14:49
Speaker 2: supposed to be an issue on the left, but they
14:52
Speaker 2: hate him now because he wants to support Donald Trump.
14:55
Speaker 2: He wanted to support Ron de Santis, if you remember,
15:00
Speaker 2: but now he's all in for Trump because he thinks
15:02
Speaker 2: that this is a very critical time in the country.
15:05
Speaker 2: And this is what this conversation was about. And they
15:07
Speaker 2: talked about a lot of things. You ever seen Elon
15:10
Speaker 2: Musk interviewed by people who don't aren't especially smart, just
15:16
Speaker 2: by an average reporter who's not very smart. Remember the
15:19
Speaker 2: reporter that tried to tell him that there was a
15:21
Speaker 2: lot of racism on Twitter since Elon Musk bought it,
15:25
Speaker 2: it had gone up and Musk was asking for specific
15:27
Speaker 2: examples and the guy couldn't do it, and Musk basically
15:31
Speaker 2: called the guy a liar. Well, that's a lie. Then
15:33
Speaker 2: you can't give me an example, you just you're lying
15:36
Speaker 2: to me. Elon Musk does well with other intelligent people,
15:43
Speaker 2: or at least people that he has something in common with,
15:46
Speaker 2: and I think that's why this conversation was interesting. These
15:49
Speaker 2: are two people that are about getting things done, and
15:55
Speaker 2: they're having a conversation with one another about where we
16:00
Speaker 2: are in technology, where we are moving forward, where we
16:03
Speaker 2: are with artificial intelligence, infrastructure things. They're talking about things
16:09
Speaker 2: that they're able to be experts in. They're talking about
16:14
Speaker 2: things that they're able to and Trump is able to
16:17
Speaker 2: sit there and have this conversation with Elon. Can you
16:21
Speaker 2: imagine Kamala Harris taking him up on the offer and
16:24
Speaker 2: sitting there with him and trying to talk about these things.
16:26
Speaker 2: Remember how she explained to us what AI was. It's
16:28
Speaker 2: two letters A and I and its intelligence and it's
16:33
Speaker 2: artificial And she explained this to us so eloquently. Can
16:37
Speaker 2: you imagine her trying to have this conversation with Elon Musk.
16:40
Speaker 2: Can you imagine Elon Musk trying to stomach this conversation
16:44
Speaker 2: with her. See, she's not talking to anybody. And Trump
16:48
Speaker 2: sat there and had this two hour conversation with Elon
16:52
Speaker 2: Musk and kept up with him. They were having conversations
16:56
Speaker 2: about real problems, real solutions. And sure Trump throws out
17:02
Speaker 2: his hyperbole from time to time, but they were talking
17:05
Speaker 2: about real things and we haven't seen that yet at
17:09
Speaker 2: all from Kamala hairs. Now apparently Friday, they're saying she's
17:12
Speaker 2: gonna tell us what her economic plan is. I don't
17:16
Speaker 2: know if it's gonna be one of those speeches where
17:18
Speaker 2: she tells us, yes, inflation is when the price of
17:21
Speaker 2: things go up, and that's hitting all American households because
17:26
Speaker 2: they need more money to buy things. And if you
17:28
Speaker 2: don't have more money to buy things, you can't buy
17:30
Speaker 2: those things. And that's why inflation is important and we're
17:32
Speaker 2: looking into it. That may be she's already given us
17:35
Speaker 2: that before. She may give it to us again. I
17:37
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know what to expect. It's got
17:40
Speaker 2: to be them trying to get her ready for this
17:42
Speaker 2: convention next week because that could be really bad too.
17:46
Speaker 2: That could be really bad as she tries to navigate
17:49
Speaker 2: through the waters of that. But apparently we're going to
17:53
Speaker 2: get something on Friday. We still haven't gotten anything more
17:56
Speaker 2: than Hey, we're going to talk with reporters and then
17:59
Speaker 2: the reporter to say, as the question, how do you feel,
18:02
Speaker 2: knowing that they're accusing you of not talking to reporters,
18:05
Speaker 2: and she's like, well, I'm talking to you now. They
18:08
Speaker 2: don't ask her any questions, they're not really trying to
18:11
Speaker 2: do that. And when someone does try to hold their
18:14
Speaker 2: feet to anything, then other reporters step in and say,
18:18
Speaker 2: are we going to censor this? How are we going
18:20
Speaker 2: to shut this down? And it may sound ridiculous to think, well,
18:24
Speaker 2: maybe this is just one guy, This isn't really the
18:26
Speaker 2: Washington Posts feelings on this, Maybe there's really nothing to this. Well,
18:33
Speaker 2: a couple of things that are worth addressing here. Keep
18:39
Speaker 2: in mind MSNBC doesn't carry anything live for Trump. They
18:43
Speaker 2: have to censor it. They don't want him to say
18:45
Speaker 2: things and have their audience hear it because oh, he
18:49
Speaker 2: gives misinformation. And then I like to remind you of this.
18:54
Speaker 2: Early on in the Biden administration, they weren't happy with
18:58
Speaker 2: the coverage they were getting from media outlets. They brought
19:01
Speaker 2: in the media producers, heads of networks and sat them
19:07
Speaker 2: down and dressed them down and explained, this is what
19:11
Speaker 2: we need from you so that we can keep our
19:13
Speaker 2: candidate in favor. His approval rating is down. If he's
19:17
Speaker 2: going to do this job and he's going to have
19:19
Speaker 2: a chance at running for reelection, we need you to
19:22
Speaker 2: get in line. We need you to support him. This
19:26
Speaker 2: is the relationship that they have with one another. This happened,
19:31
Speaker 2: and I'm sure it's happened again. You think it's not
19:34
Speaker 2: happening now with Kamala Harris this campaign. I don't think
19:38
Speaker 2: she's doing it. I don't think Biden really did it.
19:41
Speaker 2: I think it's the people that are behind the scenes
19:43
Speaker 2: getting things done and they're able to bring him in
19:47
Speaker 2: and dress them down and tell them how it is.
19:50
Speaker 2: So Yes, an important conversation between Trump and Elon and
19:55

20:03
Speaker 2: owns the company or a reporter, or any sort of
20:09
Speaker 2: place where information is being gotten out, If you think
20:11
Speaker 2: it should be censored, especially if you're a journalist, you
20:15
Speaker 2: probably should be looking into another job. Today's show brought

21:12
Speaker 2: experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of
21:16
Speaker 2: those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
21:18
Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
21:21
Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here

Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
22:11
Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
22:15
Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
22:21
Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
22:24
Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
22:28
Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
22:31
Speaker 2: squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you
22:34
Speaker 2: can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
22:36
Speaker 2: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
22:39
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
22:43
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
22:45
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
22:48
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
22:51
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
22:55
Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
22:58
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
23:02
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
23:04
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
23:07
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
23:11
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
23:13
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
23:15
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
23:18
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
23:20
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
23:23
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
23:26
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
23:28
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
23:31
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
23:34
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,
23:37
Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O
23:41
Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right after
23:45
Speaker 2: the break, Krispy Kreme is already now days into the
23:58
Speaker 2: Pumpkin spice and everything got started back on Monday, and
24:04
Speaker 2: they're doing some iced drinks as well, So I guess
24:09
Speaker 2: I'll lets you know that they know, they're aware of
24:11
Speaker 2: the fact that it's still technically, you know, hot in summer,
24:15
Speaker 2: so with ice, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin spiced coffee of
24:20
Speaker 2: course that they normally do, and they got some pumpkin
24:23
Speaker 2: spice donuts. There's a cake donut that it guesses available
24:29
Speaker 2: now and for a little while, so the iced and
24:31
Speaker 2: frozen pumpkin spice latte and then of course the coffees
24:37
Speaker 2: to go with it. So yeah, they're in full swing now.
24:40
Speaker 2: As far as it goes with the popularity of pumpkin spice,
24:43
Speaker 2: it seems like everybody loves it and they get all
24:45
Speaker 2: excited because of the first chance they get to have
24:47
Speaker 2: it every year. But a new survey says that fifty
24:50
Speaker 2: two percent of respondents are growing tired of pumpkin spice.
24:54
Speaker 2: Sixty percent believe there are better flavors for fall, and
24:58
Speaker 2: according to the survey, a cinnamon was a better fall flavor,
25:02
Speaker 2: Salted caramel was there, apple, and then just below pumpkins
25:08
Speaker 2: spice on the list was maple. So just saying might
25:12
Speaker 2: not be still quite the fad over the next few
25:16
Speaker 2: years that it once was, it could make a comeback.
25:19
Speaker 2: I don't know, all right. So if you're trying to
25:24
Speaker 2: get ahead at work and you're trying to you know,
25:28
Speaker 2: maybe a level for a promotion, or you're trying to
25:31
Speaker 2: come in and get a raise or something, they say
25:34
Speaker 2: forget workhorse, make an effort to be more of a
25:39
Speaker 2: show pony. Now, see this is where it goes against
25:41
Speaker 2: what makes sense. But they say it's all about the
25:44
Speaker 2: art of self promotion. The professor of organizational behavior at
25:50
Speaker 2: the University of North Carolina, Alison Fragala, says that self
25:57
Speaker 2: promotion is important. It says, when you're a manager or
25:59
Speaker 2: coworker asked you're doing, don't say fine or busy and
26:02
Speaker 2: just move on. Instead, share your most recent wins or accomplishments.
26:07
Speaker 2: So don't be afraid to toot your own horn. And
26:10
Speaker 2: they say you shouldn't stop working hard and just brag
26:13
Speaker 2: about yourself all the time. But they say working hard
26:15
Speaker 2: along with that self promotion is what actually gets you
26:19
Speaker 2: noticed and ultimately promoted. Be honest, never been good at
26:25
Speaker 2: the bragging things. I always thought that, you know, I'm
26:27
Speaker 2: a gen xer. I always thought that your hard work
26:31
Speaker 2: should be the reflection of the work that you're doing,
26:34
Speaker 2: and the accomplishments, and you shouldn't have to walk around
26:37
Speaker 2: and tell everybody how much work you've done. All right,
26:40
Speaker 2: as schools back in session, I guess they're all back
26:44
Speaker 2: by this point in our area, almost all of them,
26:46
Speaker 2: unless you know, maybe you've got one of those kind
26:49
Speaker 2: of outlier schools or you're doing some distance homeschooling type thing.
26:54
Speaker 2: But kids being sent back to school and taking in
26:58
Speaker 2: lunch boxes, and in many cases that food doesn't quite
27:02
Speaker 2: get eaten, it comes back home again, and they say that.
27:08
Speaker 2: A new pole from nature Sweet says that, according to parents,
27:12
Speaker 2: percent of kids lunches come home uneaten. A third of
27:15
Speaker 2: parents say they end up eating the leftovers themselves. Others
27:18
Speaker 2: say they offer it to their kids again as an
27:20
Speaker 2: afterschool snack, or throw it away. I'm a big I'd
27:25
Speaker 2: forget for put it in their lunch again the next
27:27
Speaker 2: day if it can, because then they get another chance to,
27:30
Speaker 2: you know, send it back home again. They say. The
27:33
Speaker 2: most common lunchbox combination is still sandwich, bag of chips,
27:36
Speaker 2: and a drink. Parents say their kids least favorite foods
27:39
Speaker 2: are snappeas who's sending their kid to school? Snap peas
27:44
Speaker 2: green beans, tuna salad, hard boiled eggs. If you're sending
27:48
Speaker 2: kids with tuna salad and hard boiled eggs, God bless
27:51
Speaker 2: the teachers at that school. Forty percent of parents say
27:54
Speaker 2: that todays school lunches are healthier than the ones when
27:56
Speaker 2: they were kids. I don't know. I guess that's true.
28:00
Speaker 2: I don't know. If you're a fan of snow and
28:05
Speaker 2: you're wanting snow this year. Farmer's Almanac says that the
28:09
Speaker 2: forecast for twenty twenty four, twenty five annual publication now
28:13
Speaker 2: and it's two hundred and eight years predicting a wet
28:16
Speaker 2: winter whirlwind that will be more wet than white in
28:19
Speaker 2: many areas. Forecasters believe that wetter and warmer winter will
28:23
Speaker 2: be the result of a La Nina, and they say
28:27
Speaker 2: it's expected to emerge in the fall. So many hoping
28:31
Speaker 2: for a white Christmas, they say, will be disappointed. And
28:34
Speaker 2: it looks like it will be more likely to have
28:37
Speaker 2: a wet Christmas than a white one. Yeah, and you
28:41
Speaker 2: know here we got some flurries once and we went
28:44
Speaker 2: crazy on Christmas. I don't think anybody here is. We've
28:46
Speaker 2: had some very wet Christmases though, like flooding, wet Christmases
28:50
Speaker 2: in the past, kind of in recent years. And finally,
28:55
Speaker 2: you know, you got to wash your fruits and vegetables
28:57
Speaker 2: before you eat them. Raw, got to get the dirt
28:59
Speaker 2: and pesticide. It's off right. However, a new paper published
29:03
Speaker 2: by American Chemical Society says washing your protus may not
29:07
Speaker 2: be enough. In fact, it's probably not. Report shows that,
29:11
Speaker 2: based on research, even after washing fruits and vegetables, there's
29:14
Speaker 2: still pesticide residue in the fruit, some of which is
29:18
Speaker 2: likely penetrated into the skin. Therefore, they say you should
29:22
Speaker 2: wash and then completely peel your fruits and vegetables. But
29:26
Speaker 2: I thought, like with potatoes, that's where all the good
29:28
Speaker 2: stuff was, that's where all the vitamins are. Right, that'll
29:32
Speaker 2: do it for this Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks
29:34
Speaker 2: to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll
29:37
Speaker 2: catch you back here tomorrow morning.
