Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:12
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, a third day of June. I'm Wes, thanks
0:17
Speaker 2: for joining me. Got a busy, busy day ahead of
0:24
Speaker 2: me today, but we're not going to get into all that.
0:25
Speaker 2: I just got a lot to do this morning, so
0:27
Speaker 2: I'm at it a little earlier than usual this morning.
0:32
Speaker 2: Nothing bad necessarily, just a lot of stuff to do today.
0:35
Speaker 2: It's a busy, busy day in store. And like if
0:40
Speaker 2: you got the to do list. I didn't. Used to
0:44
Speaker 2: be a to do list guy. I really did not.
0:46
Speaker 2: And then one day, partly because of my bride, one day,
0:52
Speaker 2: the switch flipped and I realized, Okay, if I don't
0:54
Speaker 2: have a list, I'm not going to get a lot
0:57
Speaker 2: of stuff's gonna get overlooked. I'm not gonna get things done.
1:00
Speaker 2: So it's a big to do list. I got a
1:02
Speaker 2: little boxes to check, lines to cross out, and I
1:06
Speaker 2: always start the first item on the list is finished
1:09
Speaker 2: making this list, otherwise I won't get around to that.
1:13
Speaker 2: It's just how my brain's wired. But a busy day
1:16
Speaker 2: and getting an early start on this so and I
1:20
Speaker 2: think for us here in the Chattahoochee Valley area, part
1:25
Speaker 2: of West Georgia and East Alabama, in the primary home
1:30
Speaker 2: base for the show, I don't know that we have
1:34
Speaker 2: as I'm recording, I don't know there's any rain in
1:35
Speaker 2: the forecast for today. So that's something we have not
1:39
Speaker 2: had a completely dry day in what seems like ages.
1:43
Speaker 2: So I'm just kind of scanning ahead. I think it's
1:47
Speaker 2: a good day for getting stuff done, so a little
1:51
Speaker 2: bit of a break in the humidity for us yesterday,
1:53
Speaker 2: but it's just been a lot like we're playing major
1:56
Speaker 2: ketchup when it comes not catch up, not the delicious stuff,
2:01
Speaker 2: catch up on the rain. We're still in a pretty
2:03
Speaker 2: significant drought in this part of the country and of
2:07
Speaker 2: other parts of the country facing the same thing, so
2:10
Speaker 2: kind of playing a lot of ketchup on all of that.
2:13
Speaker 2: So the rain we've needed, it's just been that, you know,
2:17
Speaker 2: the heavy storms, lots of wind, lightning, and then we
2:21
Speaker 2: get the hot, humid air that follows it, and just
2:27
Speaker 2: when you go, yeah it's basically summertime, we're there, we're
2:31
Speaker 2: already in the middle of it. I want to talk
2:34
Speaker 2: about a couple of things this morning, as it relates
2:37
Speaker 2: to this incident that happened with the Black Crows. We
2:45
Speaker 2: are we're used to this now with performers where they
2:50
Speaker 2: do a show and for some reason, the people on
2:56
Speaker 2: the stage sometimes they just can't help themselves in instances
3:01
Speaker 2: where they could have probably been better suited to just
3:05
Speaker 2: accept the fact that maybe they have an audience of
3:09
Speaker 2: fans that represent various places on the political spectrum. We
3:13
Speaker 2: can talk about spectrums for a lot of things. Why
3:15
Speaker 2: don't we talk about spectrums when it comes to politics.
3:19
Speaker 2: I feel like we should. I feel like it's always
3:21
Speaker 2: just kind of been seen as this, you know, like
3:24
Speaker 2: a line graph, like a number line in when you
3:29
Speaker 2: did those number lines in elementary school. It's kind of
3:32
Speaker 2: always felt like that, But in reality, it's it really
3:35
Speaker 2: is much more of a spectrum of places where people
3:40
Speaker 2: fall and sometimes it's specific issues that people have that
3:44
Speaker 2: will have an impact on them. Sometimes people like me,
3:48
Speaker 2: like I stand by the fact that my faith is
3:50
Speaker 2: what drives my political views. I think that I don't
3:55
Speaker 2: believe that everyone should have the same faith that I do.
3:58
Speaker 2: I wish that all did. I think this country would
4:01
Speaker 2: be in a much better place if everyone did have
4:06
Speaker 2: the same faith that I do. I think that's what
4:08
Speaker 2: the founders intended without it being required or forcing it
4:13
Speaker 2: on you. But that's a conversation topic We've talked about
4:16
Speaker 2: many times before, but it drives ultimately how I vote
4:21
Speaker 2: a We are we putting ourselves in a position where
4:23
Speaker 2: people are able to make decisions on their own, either
4:26
Speaker 2: right or wrong, and then people that make wrong decisions,
4:30
Speaker 2: that break laws that violate other people's rights are then
4:34
Speaker 2: punished when they do that. Are we protecting our borders?
4:38
Speaker 2: Are we protecting the actual citizens that live here first
4:42
Speaker 2: and foremost while creating a path for people to come
4:45
Speaker 2: in a legal way? Are we doing those things like those?
4:49
Speaker 2: Are the all of that drives from where I come
4:52
Speaker 2: from from a faith standpoint. And I'm not one of
4:53
Speaker 2: those people that says, well, Jesus never said you can't
4:58
Speaker 2: do this. Jesus never said you can't cheat in the
5:01
Speaker 2: super Bowl, so you know you should cheat in the
5:04
Speaker 2: super Bowl. He never said that. I'm not one of
5:07
Speaker 2: those people. I understand that there are a number of
5:10
Speaker 2: things that you can take the rest of the Bible
5:14
Speaker 2: in context and say, well, you know, I understand that
5:17
Speaker 2: Jesus never specifically said that you know, white collar crime
5:23
Speaker 2: is bad, so that must mean white collar crime is okay.
5:27
Speaker 2: You can kind of base it on, you know, stealing.
5:30
Speaker 2: You can say we're not supposed to steal, we're not
5:32
Speaker 2: supposed to kill, so and then there's all these references
5:37
Speaker 2: to you know, God knowing us in the womb and
5:40
Speaker 2: all these things. So you know, maybe we should stop
5:42
Speaker 2: trying to stretch it to say that Jesus never mentioned abortion,
5:46
Speaker 2: therefore it's okay. Or he never used the word homosexuality specifically,
5:52
Speaker 2: so that must mean it's okay. Like we you know,
5:54
Speaker 2: we have those reaches that we do. But anyway, so
5:59
Speaker 2: the fact is is we have this spectrum where we
6:03
Speaker 2: fall in the political lens. There's more to it than
6:08
Speaker 2: just you know, it's easy to kind of go so
6:11
Speaker 2: and so as left of center or their right of center,
6:13
Speaker 2: or they're far right, they're far left. And this game
6:16
Speaker 2: that we play now, where you know far right, it
6:19
Speaker 2: would imply not just that you're you know, very conservative
6:23
Speaker 2: about things. You can't call yourself a constitutional conservative, and
6:31
Speaker 2: it'd be understood that what you mean is I want
6:34
Speaker 2: as little government as possible in my life, and I
6:38
Speaker 2: want what the founders you know, many of them died
6:42
Speaker 2: for or were willing to die for, as we fought
6:47
Speaker 2: a war, you know, two hundred and fifty years ago,
6:51
Speaker 2: so that we could have these freedoms to Yeah, you know,
6:55
Speaker 2: do your own thing, take care of your family first,
6:57
Speaker 2: take care of people around you, and not have you know,
7:02
Speaker 2: the taxman come and give you know, like three percent
7:06
Speaker 2: of what you were going to give to your neighbors,
7:09
Speaker 2: you know, let that go through bureaucrats and then finally,
7:12
Speaker 2: like a small amount of it goes to them. And
7:15
Speaker 2: I know that that requires a leap of faith that
7:19
Speaker 2: they were willing to have back then, where they say
7:21
Speaker 2: we'll take care of people in our communities when they
7:23
Speaker 2: need help, churches will take care of them. And skip
7:26
Speaker 2: ahead two hundred and fifty years and it's like, don't
7:28
Speaker 2: go to church. Church is bad if you go to church.
7:31
Speaker 2: Go to the churches that support these political candidates and
7:34
Speaker 2: these political ideologies, and you know, so that's that's just
7:39
Speaker 2: where it all went. So being a constitutional conservative just means, hey,
7:45
Speaker 2: I wish we could get back to that point. God
7:48
Speaker 2: doesn't force us to do things. He would like us
7:51
Speaker 2: to do the right things. That's that's his goal for
7:54
Speaker 2: us in our lives, but he doesn't. You know, he's
7:58
Speaker 2: not forcing that on us. We have a choice, and
8:03
Speaker 2: that's ultimately what many people don't just because I said
8:08
Speaker 2: the word choice, don't go there. That's not what I mean.
8:12
Speaker 2: There are cases where you have to protect vulnerable and
8:16
Speaker 2: unborn children are certainly vulnerable. So you're protecting the rights
8:22
Speaker 2: of everyone, even those that I think the word that
8:25
Speaker 2: they used in legal documents back then to ourselves and
8:31
Speaker 2: our posterity, that would be the unborn. It's right there.
8:35
Speaker 2: It's in the documents, our posterity, those not born yet
8:39
Speaker 2: that was talking about us, and we weren't born yet.
8:42
Speaker 2: So no, don't try to come back at me with
8:44
Speaker 2: the word choice. That's not what I'm talking about. You
8:46
Speaker 2: got to protect everybody anyway. It is a spectrum, and
8:49
Speaker 2: I would think that you would have some musicians they
8:53
Speaker 2: don't care anymore. You got the Bruce Springsteen's of the
8:56
Speaker 2: world doesn't care, has no thinks nothing of you coming
9:02
Speaker 2: to his show if you were a conservative or you
9:05
Speaker 2: support Trump. I mean, he's been very outspoken of that
9:08
Speaker 2: over the years. Great music, He's had some great music.
9:13
Speaker 2: I would not pay to go to one of his
9:15
Speaker 2: concerts for anything. I would just wouldn't do it no interest.
9:19
Speaker 2: If someone bought me a ticket and said, here, we
9:22
Speaker 2: want to invite you to it, well you know, you go,
9:26
Speaker 2: but I'm not going to give him my money. It's
9:28
Speaker 2: just not And in fairness, there's not a lot of
9:30
Speaker 2: people that I would pay to go to a concert
9:32
Speaker 2: to see anyway. I've got very spoiled for a very
9:36
Speaker 2: long time programming radio, and you get invited to shows
9:39
Speaker 2: all the time. I saw shows that I don't even remember.
9:44
Speaker 2: And it's not because I didn't drink. That's not it.
9:47
Speaker 2: I've never never been drunk. I've never done illegal drugs.
9:52
Speaker 2: I just went to shows, and in some cases, you know,
9:56
Speaker 2: it all just kind of ran together. I was going
9:58
Speaker 2: to so many shows, and I just say that because
10:01
Speaker 2: I was very spoiled, very blessed. But it's part of
10:03
Speaker 2: my job, you know. That was what I did. And
10:05
Speaker 2: it's not me doing anything other than going. I just
10:10
Speaker 2: it would take a lot for me to go. I'm
10:11
Speaker 2: going to spend some money on a concert, and I
10:14
Speaker 2: have gotten more selective about where I spend my money
10:18
Speaker 2: as it pertains to political things. If I'm giving money
10:22
Speaker 2: to someone who is gonna constantly spout off against things
10:27
Speaker 2: that I believe in and against things that I might
10:30
Speaker 2: vote for. People I might vote for, I think long
10:33
Speaker 2: and hard about giving them money that they're going to
10:35
Speaker 2: turn around and use for candidates that I don't want
10:39
Speaker 2: to see in office. So I think we have a
10:43
Speaker 2: number of these artists that have made that decision. They've
10:46
Speaker 2: made that call. And it's not just musicians, it's also
10:49
Speaker 2: actors and things. But in the case of music, you
10:53
Speaker 2: got people that do concerts and shows. And in this case,
10:58
Speaker 2: I believe, was in Tampa and it was the Black
11:00
Speaker 2: Crows and I guess their their mascot is is a crow, right,
11:07
Speaker 2: It's a black crow and it was in a like
11:09
Speaker 2: an Uncle Sam type uniform or something, and it got
11:11
Speaker 2: the crowd to start chanting USA, USA, and it led to, Uh,
11:19
Speaker 2: this is where things, you know, kind of got nasty.
11:23
Speaker 2: I guess. As Chris Robinson made the comment on stage,
11:29
Speaker 2: I want to make sure I get this right. He says,
11:32
Speaker 2: thanks for the geography lesson, and then he said, I
11:37
Speaker 2: don't know what you have to be so proud of
11:40
Speaker 2: right now, and that led to booze. Ultimately, it led
11:43
Speaker 2: to some of the concert goers leaving the show early,
11:47
Speaker 2: just deciding, you know what, I don't I don't need to, uh,
11:51
Speaker 2: don't need to finish this show. And they got up
11:54
Speaker 2: and they left and before the show was over, and
11:57
Speaker 2: they were booing, and he was not happy with the
12:00
Speaker 2: fact that he was being booed. He said, some of
12:04
Speaker 2: us have real faith for those of you explotive booing us.
12:09
Speaker 2: Some of us are not afraid, and we most assuredly
12:12
Speaker 2: are not expletive ignorant. So there you go. It's not
12:19
Speaker 2: just hey, I don't like the president. It's not just hey,
12:21
Speaker 2: I don't like conservatives or Republicans or whatever it is.
12:24
Speaker 2: In this case, it's specifically, I don't like you for
12:28
Speaker 2: supporting them. You're ignorant, and you paid money to come
12:31
Speaker 2: see me in concert, right, And just a few things.
12:36
Speaker 2: And again, listen, I'm not necessarily in the in the
12:41
Speaker 2: camp of the shut up and dribble crowd, you know,
12:45
Speaker 2: the people that have that philosophy. And when it comes
12:49
Speaker 2: to sports and things, I do think that that entertainers, athletes,
12:56
Speaker 2: they should be a little selective about when they decide
13:01
Speaker 2: to open their mouths. Is it really going to be beneficial?
13:04
Speaker 2: It's been proven statistically and it's been proven, like research
13:10
Speaker 2: shows nobody is going to change how they vote. Based
13:13
Speaker 2: on Chris Robinson of The Black Crows, a lot of
13:17
Speaker 2: people thought Taylor Swift might be a wild card in
13:20
Speaker 2: the previous presidential election. Turns out she might have actually
13:24
Speaker 2: had a net negative gain for Democrats being so high
13:30
Speaker 2: profile and outspoken about voting Democrat and those things. So
13:35
Speaker 2: at some point you might think that you would have
13:41
Speaker 2: people realize this is one going to probably cost me
13:44
Speaker 2: some money. Two, it's going to probably eat into some
13:48
Speaker 2: sort of a legacy for me long term as an artist.
13:52
Speaker 2: And maybe most importantly, it's not going to have any
13:56
Speaker 2: impact on how people, I mean vote. If the conflict
14:02
Speaker 2: here was something where you think, oh, I'm going to
14:04
Speaker 2: make a difference, I'm going to shape the next election
14:07
Speaker 2: because I wrote Hard to Handle. You know, if you
14:13
Speaker 2: think that's what's going to happen, and you really think, hey,
14:17
Speaker 2: I got the statistics to prove it, and we've got
14:20
Speaker 2: the track record to prove it, I don't know. Maybe
14:23
Speaker 2: you do this and maybe you stand up for this
14:25
Speaker 2: thing that you believe in, but if statistics are showing
14:29
Speaker 2: that all it is is going to be something that's
14:31
Speaker 2: going to hurt your career even if you don't think
14:34
Speaker 2: it is, it probably will. Or they're going to still
14:37
Speaker 2: be people that are going to come to your concert. Probably,
14:39
Speaker 2: but there's concert fatigue right now. So I think a
14:42
Speaker 2: lot of artists should probably just be happy people are
14:44
Speaker 2: showing up and paying for tickets. But let me just
14:48
Speaker 2: say this, because a lot of people go, why do
14:51
Speaker 2: these people think that people care? And I just this
14:55
Speaker 2: isn't me defending it, because I defend their right to
14:58
Speaker 2: say whatever they want, and I defend people's right to
15:00
Speaker 2: get up and walk out and boo them or whatever
15:02
Speaker 2: they want to do, because that's the way it should work.
15:05
Speaker 2: Because I am I am much closer on this whole
15:08
Speaker 2: spectrum of things to a constitutional conservative in so many
15:14
Speaker 2: ways with what the founders intended. And honestly, we go through,
15:18
Speaker 2: you know, Memorial Day and get closer to the Independence
15:23
Speaker 2: Day holiday the two fifty and think we say, oh, well,
15:28
Speaker 2: for those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and you know,
15:31
Speaker 2: the people who made that first ultimate sacrifice as Americans,
15:36
Speaker 2: they deserve to have what they were fighting for be
15:39
Speaker 2: kept alive. They deserve that, and for some reason we
15:42
Speaker 2: just pretend that that's not the case. But I digress.
15:46
Speaker 2: Keep in mind creative types. These people that write, you know,
15:50
Speaker 2: put out an album, and they go when they tour
15:53
Speaker 2: and in many cases just go a city to city
15:57
Speaker 2: and get sloshed, you know, and they party or whatever.
16:02
Speaker 2: I don't know about it at the age of Chris Robinson,
16:04
Speaker 2: and I don't know what Bruce Springsteen's doing these days.
16:08
Speaker 2: And I'm not disrespecting these artists. That's not what I'm doing.
16:11
Speaker 2: This is not intended to be anything other than just
16:13
Speaker 2: point out these are people that they got a lot
16:16
Speaker 2: of free time on their hands. I mean, they put
16:18
Speaker 2: out an album and then they got you know, they tour.
16:22
Speaker 2: Maybe if they do that, and then there's some time
16:25
Speaker 2: they got downtime and they just you know, watch I guess,
16:29
Speaker 2: you know whatever CNBC is called now or MSNBC or
16:33
Speaker 2: whatever those channels are CNN, and they just get all
16:37
Speaker 2: revved up and worked up. And then that's what they do.
16:40
Speaker 2: They just say, oh, I got to get this out.
16:42
Speaker 2: I got to tell somebody that they're wrong, or I
16:44
Speaker 2: got to you know, criticize somebody for having a different
16:46
Speaker 2: opinion than me, because my opinion is more important than theirs.
16:51
Speaker 2: And I'm right and they're wrong. And it's not just them.
16:55
Speaker 2: You know, this is we see this with athletes. We
16:57
Speaker 2: see this. Look put me in that group. You know.
17:02
Speaker 2: I do seven shows a week. I do this job,
17:06
Speaker 2: but a lot of my time for this job involves
17:10
Speaker 2: working on what the next show is, thinking about topics
17:14
Speaker 2: for later shows and shows. I've got shows planned, you know,
17:18
Speaker 2: for months from now, and planning even more. And you know,
17:22
Speaker 2: it's there's a lot that goes on into the process
17:25
Speaker 2: of building things and setting up the show. And it's
17:30
Speaker 2: not just you know, what I'm doing right then at
17:34
Speaker 2: that moment. So there's a lot of time. Now now,
17:37
Speaker 2: my job is to talk to you about these things.
17:40
Speaker 2: So it's a little bit more relevant than just a
17:43
Speaker 2: creative type sitting around thinking of ways to instigate or
17:47
Speaker 2: calls conflict with fans, you know, And I don't know,
17:52
Speaker 2: maybe the Black Crows are like, hey, we got enough
17:53
Speaker 2: fans that we could piss off half of them and
17:55
Speaker 2: we'll be fine. We don't care about that half, you know.
18:00
Speaker 2: I care about all of you. I care about all
18:02
Speaker 2: of you. Sometimes I say things that upset you. I
18:08
Speaker 2: don't mean to. I try to be genuine, but that's
18:11
Speaker 2: the nature of this show. This isn't a concert where
18:15
Speaker 2: you know, I'm just trying to sing the hits or whatever.
18:23
Speaker 2: You know, it's not it's not exactly that. This is
18:27
Speaker 2: very different and I don't know. I just I defend
18:35
Speaker 2: them at least a little bit, and that they just
18:37
Speaker 2: don't know what to do with their time. There's a
18:39
Speaker 2: reason that almost most popular hauntings that you hear about
18:44
Speaker 2: or tend to be theaters. It's creative people that are
18:47
Speaker 2: sitting around with time on their hands, and and people
18:50
Speaker 2: that write and create and perform. And then they're sitting
18:52
Speaker 2: in a big place and the wind blows the door slammed,
18:55
Speaker 2: and then they go, oh, clearly, that's got to be
18:57
Speaker 2: the ghost of whoever fill in the blank. That's who
19:01
Speaker 2: it's got to be. And then they think, well, it's
19:04
Speaker 2: got to be the case. It can't just be that
19:06
Speaker 2: the wind blew the door closed like it's done a
19:08
Speaker 2: thousand times. Surely that must be someone slamming the door
19:14
Speaker 2: that lived in yester year. It's not a coincidence. It's
19:19
Speaker 2: not a coincidence that these some of these performers are
19:22
Speaker 2: people that just have time on their hands. Actors have
19:25
Speaker 2: time where they're just sitting around stewing on things, and
19:28
Speaker 2: they're trying to think of a way to express themselves
19:30
Speaker 2: with it. But I'm just telling you that people aren't
19:34
Speaker 2: going to change their vote. We know this now. I
19:37
Speaker 2: don't see it going in that direction. But all it's
19:41
Speaker 2: going to take is, you know, one swing in that
19:43
Speaker 2: direction and it'll start to reinforce this again. So don't
19:47
Speaker 2: encourage it. Don't encourage it at all. Don't go to
19:50
Speaker 2: the shows unless you just really really want to go,
19:54
Speaker 2: but you know, and then don't vote however they're telling
19:57
Speaker 2: you to vote. Otherwise you're just gonna hear more this
20:00
Speaker 2: at the shows. Today's show brought to you by Columbus
20:02
Speaker 2: State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating
20:08
Speaker 2: the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders
20:13
Speaker 2: that really of all ages. I mean, they do it
20:16
Speaker 2: for school age kids as school age kids visit the
20:19
Speaker 2: Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
20:22
Speaker 2: through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
20:27
Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
20:32
Speaker 2: right now. And you can learn more about maybe getting
20:35
Speaker 2: your degree on their website. CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
20:43
Speaker 2: also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got
20:45
Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwobe School
20:50
Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
20:53
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
20:58
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching in Columbus, Georgia,
21:01
Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
21:04
Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
21:10
Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
21:14
Speaker 2: Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome.
21:17
Speaker 2: Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check
21:22
Speaker 2: out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you
21:24
Speaker 2: can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola
21:27
Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
21:31
Speaker 2: city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you
21:34
Speaker 2: can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also
21:37
Speaker 2: on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan says,
21:42

Speaker 2: dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door
21:54
Speaker 2: Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
21:57
Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
22:03
Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
22:07
Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
22:11
Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
22:14
Speaker 2: square in that away for you, and while they're there,
22:16
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
22:19
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
22:22
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
22:25
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
22:28
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
22:30
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
22:34
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
22:37
Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
22:41
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
22:45
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
22:47
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
22:50
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
22:53
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
22:56
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
22:58
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid, you'd like to
23:01
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
23:03
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
23:05
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
23:08
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
23:11
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
23:14
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
23:17
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty five

Speaker 2: hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred
23:23
Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
23:28
Speaker 2: after the break. So there are some new college grads
23:40
Speaker 2: having a tough time finding work. Many kind of think, well,
23:43
Speaker 2: this is going to be a byproduct of the economy
23:46
Speaker 2: or a byproduct of AI, but a new study says
23:50
Speaker 2: it's it's not AI. It's actually remote work. Basically, when
23:57
Speaker 2: roles can be done from home. Company seem less willing
24:01
Speaker 2: to hire younger, less experienced workers. So the big reason
24:06
Speaker 2: that they say from this research is that it's harder
24:11
Speaker 2: to train and mentor someone when you're not face to face,
24:15
Speaker 2: and the numbers back it up. Unemployment has gone up
24:17
Speaker 2: for younger college grads and jobs that can be done remotely,
24:21
Speaker 2: while older workers in those same fields are actually doing
24:24
Speaker 2: a bit better. The gap doesn't really show up in
24:28
Speaker 2: jobs that have to be done in person though, like nursing.
24:31
Speaker 2: It's an interesting thing and it's look, I'm all for
24:36
Speaker 2: people being able to work from home or work remotely
24:40
Speaker 2: when possible. It does feel like you should be able
24:43
Speaker 2: to work, you know, for a country in Europe as
24:45
Speaker 2: long as you're able to you know, make the time
24:47
Speaker 2: requirements and do the job. And this old adage that
24:53
Speaker 2: you would think, well you got to move, You're gonna
24:55
Speaker 2: have to move to this other place, and it it's
25:00
Speaker 2: it's an old way of thinking that you have to However,
25:04
Speaker 2: this totally fits with this idea of not being able
25:08
Speaker 2: to mentor not being able to train, and you kind
25:11
Speaker 2: of have to put a little earn, a little equity
25:13
Speaker 2: in the company before you get that opportunity to work remotely.
25:16
Speaker 2: In some cases, it's an interesting stat and it's something
25:19
Speaker 2: to keep an eye on as folks are hitting kind
25:22
Speaker 2: of job markets going okay, well I need a job,
25:25
Speaker 2: but it's going to have to be remotely. And I
25:27
Speaker 2: think you've got companies going not if you're brand new
25:31
Speaker 2: authorities in Massachusetts that come up with a novel idea
25:33
Speaker 2: to help you get through airport security lines faster, and
25:37
Speaker 2: it involves not going to the airport at least not
25:41
Speaker 2: right away. A new pilot program at Boston's Logan Airport
25:44
Speaker 2: lets certain travelers go through TSA at a separate location
25:48
Speaker 2: about twenty five miles away. You check in, you drop
25:51
Speaker 2: your bags, you clear security, You hop on a secure
25:53
Speaker 2: bus that drops you off past security at the airport
25:58
Speaker 2: right near your gate. The idea is to avoid the
26:00
Speaker 2: long security lines, reduce stress. Yeah, there's a small fee
26:04
Speaker 2: to use it, but the trade off is skipping one
26:06
Speaker 2: of the most dreaded parts of travel. So the real
26:09
Speaker 2: question becomes, would you go out of your way to
26:12
Speaker 2: avoid airport chaos? Is that just another stop making things
26:18
Speaker 2: more of a hassle? That's the question, And is it
26:20
Speaker 2: worth the money? So interesting, I think it's a great idea,
26:24
Speaker 2: and I would say this, I have done some travel
26:27
Speaker 2: where it would not be worth the hassle. I have
26:29
Speaker 2: done some travel where it absolutely would be worth the
26:32
Speaker 2: hassle and the expense of going through that. You've probably
26:36
Speaker 2: got similar stories, So again something to keep an eye on,
26:40
Speaker 2: because you know, many here in my hometown, we do
26:46
Speaker 2: have an airport here that can take us to Atlanta
26:48
Speaker 2: and get us on our way, and in some cases
26:51
Speaker 2: like that, it's not a cheap flight to Atlanta from here. However,
26:55
Speaker 2: it's much easier to get through security here than it
26:59
Speaker 2: is in Atlanta, and some people actually use that as
27:02
Speaker 2: motivation to pay for that extra flight. So I can
27:06
Speaker 2: see where it would work if you just had a
27:08
Speaker 2: short little bus trip after you've already gone through security.
27:11
Speaker 2: You just have to make sure that again it's a
27:13
Speaker 2: very secure situation before they are getting on that particular
27:19
Speaker 2: bus and moving on. Hot dog lovers know exactly how
27:23
Speaker 2: they like theirs mustard or ketchup or both, or mayonnaise
27:30
Speaker 2: as it's come up before, But lately some food bloggers
27:34
Speaker 2: have been urging folks of hot dogs to skip the
27:37
Speaker 2: mustard ketchup and go with the Alabama White sauce. They
27:41
Speaker 2: claim the tangy, peppery mayo based barbecue sauce, created decades
27:45
Speaker 2: ago at Big Bob Gibson's Barbecue in Decatur, Alabama, is
27:49
Speaker 2: quickly becoming a favorite condiment on the cookout classic. The
27:55
Speaker 2: sauce blends mayo, vinegar, lemon juice, black pepper, horseradish, mustard,
27:59
Speaker 2: and a little heat. You can make it at home
28:02
Speaker 2: or fine bottles, basically on store shelves. There's a few
28:07
Speaker 2: places you can get them around. Foodies recommend, I guess online.
28:11
Speaker 2: Foodi's recommend pairing it on a dog with bacon bits, onions,
28:14
Speaker 2: fried green tomatoes, or pickles, just on a bun. Make
28:20
Speaker 2: it a real Alabama style dog. So that's ain't nothing
28:25
Speaker 2: wrong with that. That Alabama white sauce is all right.
28:29
Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Wednesday edition of the show.
28:32
Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
28:36
Speaker 2: I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
