  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Monday morning, thirtieth day of December. I'm Wes, Thanks for
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: joining me. I was really tempted to just go ahead
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: and take the first couple of days off this week
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: and roll on into the second. And then Jimmy Carter
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: passed away yesterday, the former president who was one hundred
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: years old, someone who my family had just been talking about.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I think whenever we get together around the holidays and
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: we talk about someone, they often pass away soon after.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: It's kind of a weird thing that comes up. We
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: did that right around when John Madden passed away. It
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: was just kind of a just coincidental in the timing
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: of it, but it is something that's happened again. We
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: were just talking about the former president and discussing a
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: few things. We're talking about those images of him voting,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: and Kamala Harris, the vice president, talking about Carter going
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: into vote and how sort of feeble and weak he
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: looked and really sort of out of it, and of
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: course that led to that speculation that maybe he was
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: approaching the end, which obviously he was the and Carter,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: of course not just a president, but he was seventy
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: six governor of Georgia and our current Governor, Brian Kemp
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: issuing a statement saying, Marty, the girls and I and
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: all Georgians in the entire nation or mourning the loss
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: of former President Jimmy Carter. As the only American president
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: thus far to come from Georgia, he showed the world
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the impact our state and its people have on the country,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and as a son of planes, he always valued Georgians
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: and other virtues of our state. Choosing to return to
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: his rural home after his time in public office, he
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: went on to talk about his work on the international
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: stage beyond his time as president. Under his leadership, the
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: European Japanese State trade Offices were launched, as well as
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the Georgia Film Commission. He and former First Lady Roslind
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Carter's support of the civil rights movement in the place
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: of its birth is also remembered with deep appreciation. He
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: went on to say. When he left the White House,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the Carter's contributions continued from teaching Sunday school to congregants
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: and visitors alike over the years to their tireless work
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: supporting Habitat for Humanity and the Carter Center's efforts to
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: address global health issues. Georgians are accustomed to seeing Jimmy
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Carter hard at work. He also said, as the longest
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: lived president in history, perhaps his greatest distinction is the
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: happy marriage he enjoyed with the first Lady Carter, spanning
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: over seventy seven years, also the longest of any former president.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: The family continues to be in our prayers as President
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Carter is reunited his beloved wife and the world mourns
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: this native Georgian, former state, national leader and proud peanut
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: farmer from planes. Very well said Governor, and you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: there's a little talk about, you know, his impact and
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: things that he did beyond his presidency. Many who were
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: alive and sort of you know, active on the political
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: scene during his presidency in many cases don't remember him
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: having a positive impact as a president. Him. You know,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: he's often in those discussions when people say worst president,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: that title may have been surpassed. Just referring to his
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: time in office. It was a difficult time to be
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: in office, just being honest with some of the things
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: going on in the world, but certainly the things that
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: he did post presidency are the things that he'll largely
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: be remembered for, which is some of the things that
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the governor is talking about there. But Jimmy Carter dead
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: at one hundred years old? Are you one of the
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: people who is navigating through this? A couple of them
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: that are going around on another people who've had this RSV?
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I am now. I guess it was five six weeks ago.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: It was around Thanksgiving when Mike cold A little before Thanksgiving,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I guess when Mike cold started and it lasted a
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: few weeks. I don't think it was RSV. I don't
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: think it was anything like that. I definitely had bronchitis.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I had a lot of congestion in my lungs. A
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: lot of that stuff came up. I've had a I
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: wouldn't say I'd say persistent, but not regular cough that
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: just won't quite go away. I have a little bit
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: of rasp in my voice this morning. Still. I don't
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: know that that's been consistent. That may just be the
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: early morning voice and some of us in radio talk
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: about this. I don't know if it's a common conversation,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: but especially early morning radio people. My good friend, Scott Miller,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: and I would often talk about our first voice of
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the day, first time you're speaking in the day, those
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: sorts of things. Because he and I would often arrive
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: at work different times. I usually got there a little
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: before him, and I would be in my office, he
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: would be in his office. We'd both end up wandering
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: our way into the studio together that we shared across
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: the table, and you know, we would do the show together,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and there were some occasions where you know, we might
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the first words we spoke out loud of the day
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: would have been to each other, and in some cases
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the first words were actually on the air. So this
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: that first voice thing, when you're just sort of, you know,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: first time that you're talking for the day. Some people
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: wake up, Aye, good morning everyone, Hi, how are you
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: good morning? How did you sleep? Good morning? Some people
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: wake up that way. I don't really wake up that way.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I wake up very much, and you know, that's kind
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: of how I wake up. That's how Scott was in
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: the mornings. I can't speak to how he specifically woke up,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: but I know by the time he was around me
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: often it was just kind of a grunt and he
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: and I got along very well, and in that regard
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: doing our show together for so long, but then once
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: we get on the air, we could turn the mic
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: on and we could you know, be radio ready at
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: that point, but still with that first voice. But anyway,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I'm still kind of dealing with that nagging little cough
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: that's been going on. I've seen where there's a few
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: people that have been dealing with that cough for like
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: two months. I'm dreading if I still have another month
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: to go with it. I know it's been you know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: we're getting close to make two three more weeks to that,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: but I haven't had to suppress a cough yet and
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I'm seven and a half minutes deep this morning, So
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: maybe it's it's starting to improve. Maybe things are kind
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: of starting to get better. So as far as you know,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: last one of the final shows of the year, and
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I'm planning to do another show tomorrow to close out
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: sort of a New Year's Eve show. One of the
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: things I think that we should just take a look
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: back at and just a reminder this is one of
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: those things where and I'll maybe talk more about this tomorrow,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but this idea that we need to
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: go into the new year with some positivity. That's not
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: always an easy thing to do. I think many on
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the right have felt some positivity, have felt that bit
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: of energy. I think there's a lot more hope, there's
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: a bigger sense of some positivity moving forward for many,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: not all. I know some people on the left that
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: still avoid the news, that still avoids social media. They
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: don't want to talk to anybody. They're upset with the
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: outcome of the election. They're they're frustrated. They think the
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: world's going to end because that's what they were told.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: You know, you were told for so long that you know,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Trump is going to bring about the end of democracy.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: He's going to be a dictator. He's going to do
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: all these horrible things that he did not do the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: first time he was in office for four years. So
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: he just brings them that sense of dread in despair
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: coming into the new year. But I think a lot
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: of people that did vote for Trump, or that maybe
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: we're just pulling for Trump, are looking at the fact that,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: you know, we were in a better place five years ago,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: pre COVID, we were in a better place. You know, economically,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: we were doing much better. As twenty nineteen was drawing
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: to a close, and you know, talking about circumstances of
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the world and looking back and again, you know, Jimmy
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Carter has passed away, and I don't want it to
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: be some will focus on some of the failings and
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: his presidency. And do you take politics aside when someone
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: passes away that This isn't me talking specifically about about that.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I know that some people will will discuss that, but
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: just talking about the things going on in the world,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the circumstances of the world during his presidency. And I
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: don't think Trump got the benefit of the doubt for
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: that for the final year of his presidency. I know
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: people that rolling into the election were like, yeah, but
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: he was such a failure during COVID. And you know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I've said this many times. I said it a lot
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: on the radio. I said it a lot here. The
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: leaders at every level, whether it be you know, people
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: running hospitals, whether it be mayors, whether it be you know, governors,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: folks in Congress at both houses, whether it be you know,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: obviously any elected position at all, but obviously up to president,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: members of his cabinet. At the time, no one signed
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: on for world pandemic. I guess somewhere deep down you
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: have to know that there's a possibility that that could happen,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: and that there is. I just don't know that anybody
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: really assumed it was likely. You know, we looked at
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: it from the perspective of we've had all these other threats.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: We had the killer be threats. We've had the swine flu,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: we had the mad cow. We know all the different things,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: the killer hornets, all of those things that we call
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: there's another what bird flu? Now? I mean, we hear
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: about all these things, and how was it? Monkey pucks,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: all of that, all of it, and we heard it
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: was going to be bring the death of all of us,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: and you know, almost every case much more hype than
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: actual substance. Obviously there were some that were affected in
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: all of these cases and all of these epidemics, but
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: no one was expecting I say no one. I mean,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: you know, there were obviously some people involved in Hey,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: let's start tinkering around with some of these viruses and
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: see what happens, and money sent overseas and doctor Fauci's
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: and all those people. But they maybe saw it coming,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: but I don't know that they knew exactly how it
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: was going to play out. I mean, it's almost like
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: just playing in the sandbox. So no, I think similarly
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: to how I think we sort of retroactively maybe look
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: back at Carter's presidency and given benefit of the doubt
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: with some of the things happening in the world, and
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I think that that needed to happen as far as COVID,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: and I think a lot of people maybe did. And
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I think that in an election that was about change
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: and it was about you know, hitting a reset button,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: going back to the way it was. I think there
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: is that sense of optimism as we get ready to
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: kick off a new year. Now, does it mean magically
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: everybody's going to have more money? Does it mean we're
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: all magically going to have prices just suddenly start plummeting.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know how all that plays out. You know,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: we got a little over twenty days at this point
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: until inauguration day. Quickly do things change? I don't know.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I'm hopeful. I think a lot of people are spending
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: was up for the holiday season this year, a lot
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: of people putting stuff on credit cards. A lot of
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: flak given by folks on the left or supporters on
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: the left saying I don't think anybody had money. How
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: are these people spending all this money for the holidays?
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: And the reality is when you have an administration coming
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: in that people believe or looking out for your financial interests,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: they're more likely to take some chances. And a lot
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: of people have been spending on credit cards. A lot
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: of people have been running up credit card debt. And
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: there's going to be a question about, you know, how
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: quickly you know, because I think if you're spending it
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: on credit card and you're thinking, well, and you know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: it's almost Christmas, and in about thirty days we'll have
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: a different president who's promising to get things back on track.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: When the oil starts to come, when the fuels start
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: to make a difference, and we start doing it at
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: the local level again, I do think there'll be an impact.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know exactly how it's all going to play out,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: but I know that Trump has already been working towards
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: getting some things back on track, and I know that
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: he'll be, you know, ready to go day one. He'll
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: be ready to go day one. Now, as far as
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: the current president, who's got you know, like three weeks
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: to finish out, I would say what I coach in sports.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I tell I would always tell my kids, Hey, just
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: finish this game strong. Maybe it's a lost cause, maybe
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: you're down, you know, twelve, Oh, finish out strong. Try
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: to get that one goal. You know, that's what you
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: want to do. Try to get that Just give me
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: all you got until the final whistle. That's what you
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: say as a coach. Those are all coach terms that
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: you say, Hey, give me all you got till that
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: final whistle. Try to get that one goal. Let's have
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: something to carry over to the next game. There's no
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: more next game for Biden. He hasn't really been president anyway.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's a whole lot of closing out
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: strong here for this administration. The stats just came in.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I heard it the other day and they said he
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: spent forty percent of his time in office on vacation.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: That's not good. It's a tough job. It's the toughest job.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, as far as stress goes people, they look
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: like they age drastically when they're in the White House.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Obama looked like he aged forty years in his eight
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: years in office. Didn't do well for him. Bush aged
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: pretty I mean, they all do right. They all do.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Clinton eight years. He had a rough eight years though,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: but that wasn't because of the world or outside circumstances.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: That was a lot of that was his own dog.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: That was before you know, that was from Governor Clinton days.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: A lot of that stuff was carrying on. But it's
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: a tough job. I don't know that forty percent of
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: your time on vacation, on the on the taxpayer's dime,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: is getting the job done. It tells you. I tell
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: you what it tells you. It tells you that he's
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: not really the president. I mean, that's really what it
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: tells you. He's not really running things. If he can
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: be on vacation forty percent of the time and expect
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: to get anything done, does that surprise us? No? Have
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: we had members of his cabinet just disappear nobody knew
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: where they were, and oh, he's been out getting cancer treatment.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: What nobody told us? How did anybody? You know? Have
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: we had disasters with you know, railway systems, and they think, well,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: where's a Pete Buddha judge. Oh, he's been on paternity leave.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: We're not going to see him again for at least
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: another A couple of months. He's on paternity leave. They
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: had a baby. You think, well, this is kind of
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: something he should be dealing with. This is one of
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: his things that we had a train, Oh, another train disaster.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Is he going to come in for that one? No,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: he's still on paternity leave. It's not a surprise. When
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the boss is always on vacation, it's easy for the
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: staff to always be on vacation as well. I guess
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: today's show brought to you by Columbus State Universities Coca
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: all ages. I mean, they do it for school age
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Science Center, but they also do it through their university
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: And you can learn more about maybe getting your degree
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwobe School of
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.

  Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a

  Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or

  Speaker 2: warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.

  Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six five eight forty five

• 21:20
  Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: after the break, Sonic the Hedgehog three edges out Mufasa
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: the Lion King for the top spot at the box office. Nosferatu, Wicket,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: and Moana rounded out the top five. The Bob Dylan
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: movie called A Complete Unknown was in the sixth spot,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: So there you go. Uh. You know, I was really
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: wanting to see Nosferatu as it opened, thought about doing that,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: but everything else on there. I mean, I know, Wicked
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: is sort of one of those phenom movies and shows,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: so a lot of people you know, excited to see
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: it and rushed out to see it, and all those
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: sorts of things, not especially on my radar. Just being honest,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: and you know, just one of those things that isn't
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: necessarily a priority. I'll maybe watch it at some point.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Should I do. I need to see Wicked.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: I know some people that are big fans and big
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: fans of the show and all those sorts of things.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: I just don't know that I have. It's been a
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: priority for me, you know. Does that make sense? So
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: younger generations apparently are redefining what makes a classic car.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: The world of classic cars changing because of preferences of
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Gen X and older millennials. Insiders from the industry saying
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: that buyers are moving away from traditional muscle cars like
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Mustangs and Corvettes and instead are spending money on cars
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: from the eighties, nineties and early two thousands, like the
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Dotson two eighties ZX, the Honda Prelude, even the iconic DeLorean.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: And they say that this new generation of collectors are
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: looking for affordability in nostalgia, often choosing cars that remind
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: them of their youth. That makes sense. I wonder how
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: much of the classic car sort of mentality also ties
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: into this push for electric vehicles that we've had on
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: a world stage, in some cases largely coming I guess
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: from within the US. I don't know, but I feel
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: like there might be some element of that to it,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: because it's like they say, a Democrat politician like Barack Obama,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: they said, sold more guns than anyone else because you know,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: this constant threat of he's going to take away your
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: guns made people want to go buy guns. So maybe
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: there's an element of that to it. You know, Oh, no,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: they're gonna take away our gas guzzlers, so we're gonna
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: go get as many as we can get our hands
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: on and be able to drive them. I don't know.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: According to a new study, team, marijuana use has hit
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: its lowest levels in decades. Researchers found that only fifteen
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: percent of ten teens reported using marijuana in the past year.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: It's a big drop from previous years. While smoking weed
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: on the decline, plenty of teenagers are still hitting the marijuana.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: They used a goofy term here, twenty six percent of
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: twelfth grader, sixteen percent of tenth grader, seven percent of
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: eighth graders reporting using it in the last year. But
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: they're still saying it's on the decline. In a town Columbus,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: maybe they're not doing it because everybody else is just
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: feels like it's everywhere all the time, constant smell of
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: skunk always. It's just what it feels like, is it
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: am I just being old? Is that what I am?
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Or am I just being my old, straight edge self.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know how that all plays
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: into it, but I do feel like it's everywhere, all
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: the time. No matter where I go, I am smelling
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: it constantly, and it's a bit ridiculous, you know, just
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: for it to be everywhere. And I understand the laws
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: have changed, things are changing, but it just seems like
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: it's just everywhere all the time, a constant smell hanging
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: in the air. So maybe that's why it's on the decline.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's a way to rebel against it. If they
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: feel like everybody else is using it, maybe it's time
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: to not. That'll do it for this Monday edition of
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. I thank
• 26:03
