Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show. Friday morning. It is the sixth day
- 0:11Speaker 1: of February. I'm Wes. Thanks for joining me. We are
- 0:15Speaker 1: knocking on the door of the weekend, knocking on the
- 0:18Speaker 1: door of Super Bowl weekend. Mentioned this yesterday.
- 0:23Speaker 2: I'll watch this game with a little more interest than
- 0:27Speaker 2: what I had. I had interest a year ago. I
- 0:29Speaker 2: can't say that I didn't have interest. I just didn't
- 0:31Speaker 2: like either team. Sic, I hate it. Specifically, I hated
- 0:36Speaker 2: both teams, still hate them, like them a little bit
- 0:42Speaker 2: more because they're not playing in the Super Bowl this weekend.
- 0:48Speaker 2: As a New York Giants fan, you hate the Eagles,
- 0:50Speaker 2: you hate the Cowboys, you hate the team formerly known
- 0:55Speaker 2: as Redskins, but you hate them a little bit less
- 0:57Speaker 2: than the other two. You acknowledge everybody like if you're
- 1:01Speaker 2: this is how I I say, if you're a real
- 1:03Speaker 2: sports fan, kay, you have like your division rivals, but
- 1:10Speaker 2: you understand that your team can't win the division every
- 1:14Speaker 2: year you want them to, you understand that they can't,
- 1:20Speaker 2: so you have to have kind of your you know,
- 1:23Speaker 2: like your team is one, all the others are. You know,
- 1:26Speaker 2: there's four teams in the divisions in the NFL. So
- 1:29Speaker 2: they're all like pretty much four, like you don't like
- 1:33Speaker 2: them all, but one is maybe like low low low three,
- 1:39Speaker 2: and then the other two are tied for four. Technically
- 1:44Speaker 2: you kind of have to rank them and you just
- 1:46Speaker 2: go one. Two would be the Commanders, three would be
- 1:53Speaker 2: It's hard. It's hard to pick which one I hate
- 1:55Speaker 2: more between Dallas and the Eagles. It has to be
- 1:57Speaker 2: the Eagles because that's the that's the traditional. But don't
- 2:01Speaker 2: like either one of them. So you understand your team
- 2:05Speaker 2: can't win every time. You have to have that one
- 2:06Speaker 2: team that you go, eh, someone else has to win it.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I like it to be them. It's the reality of it.
- 2:12Speaker 2: So anyway, it's two teams that I don't really like.
- 2:18Speaker 2: I don't necessarily want the Patriots to start another another
- 2:23Speaker 2: string of wins. We don't need that. We don't need
- 2:26Speaker 2: another dynasty getting started. I mean, Patriot fans would want that,
- 2:29Speaker 2: but I just don't necessarily want to see that happen.
- 2:33Speaker 2: But you know, I like Mike Vrabel, I like Drake may.
- 2:36Speaker 2: I wanted the Giants to get him. They tried to
- 2:38Speaker 2: trade for him, they tried hard to get him. Didn't
- 2:40Speaker 2: work out a lot of players on that team that
- 2:43Speaker 2: I like, So, you know, if they win, big deal.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Seahawks got no skin there, not at all. I know
- 2:50Speaker 2: one of the cheerleaders for the Seahawks. That's it. That's
- 2:53Speaker 2: all I got. So if I got to pull for one,
- 2:56Speaker 2: I'm pulling for the one where I know one of
- 2:57Speaker 2: the cheerleaders. That's That's really as far as I can
- 3:02Speaker 2: go with any kind of commitment. Right, there's a chance
- 3:05Speaker 2: maybe she'll be on TV on Sunday and that would
- 3:08Speaker 2: be great. You know, get to you know, wave at her,
- 3:11Speaker 2: maybe she'll wave back. Maybe she will. I don't know.
- 3:15Speaker 2: I can at least say that's what she's doing. But
- 3:17Speaker 2: the point is it, I can just watch the game
- 3:19Speaker 2: and enjoy it. Last year, I was miserable hoping for
- 3:22Speaker 2: the Eagles to lose while having being forced to pull
- 3:25Speaker 2: for the Chiefs that I didn't like either. I truly
- 3:29Speaker 2: believe that if the Chiefs had won last year and
- 3:33Speaker 2: they got smacked around good. But I really believe if
- 3:36Speaker 2: that had happened, then we would have seen a Travis
- 3:38Speaker 2: Kelcey retirement and engagement on the field with Taylor Swift.
- 3:44Speaker 2: And I was just kind of glad that didn't get
- 3:46Speaker 2: to happen because I didn't want to I didn't that's
- 3:48Speaker 2: I don't. I don't want to see that. I also
- 3:50Speaker 2: don't want to see the halftime show. But I spent
- 3:53Speaker 2: enough time talking about that yesterday. I know they're doing
- 3:55Speaker 2: these alternate halftime shows. I don't know how popular those
- 3:59Speaker 2: are actually gonna be. I don't know who's going to
- 4:01Speaker 2: do that. We have been invited to a Super Bowl party,
- 4:04Speaker 2: my friend Jennifer hosting it, and we had a good
- 4:06Speaker 2: time there last year in spite of the outcome of
- 4:08Speaker 2: the game, and because it's about, you know, just hanging
- 4:13Speaker 2: out with people and eating some tasty food and just
- 4:16Speaker 2: you know, actually maybe watching the commercials. I don't usually
- 4:20Speaker 2: if I'm interested in the game, then the commercials are
- 4:23Speaker 2: really about bathroom and getting some more food. Right. Last
- 4:28Speaker 2: year was a bit of a blowout. There have been
- 4:30Speaker 2: some pretty significant blowouts, but not It's not necessarily a
- 4:35Speaker 2: common event for the number of Super Bowls we've had.
- 4:39Speaker 2: When you start thinking about the fact that I mean,
- 4:44Speaker 2: I mean that forty nine Ers Broncos, remember that that
- 4:46Speaker 2: was eighty nine to fifty five to ten. Ouch. There
- 4:50Speaker 2: was a Cowboys twenty seven to ten, Dolphins twenty four
- 4:54Speaker 2: Vikings seven. I want to skip talking about this one
- 4:59Speaker 2: for a minut at twenty four three Cowboys Dolphins, that
- 5:02Speaker 2: was seventy one. And then Seahawks Broncos. That one was
- 5:06Speaker 2: rough forty three to eight. That was twenty thirteen, two thousand,
- 5:12Speaker 2: Ravens Giants thirty four to seven. I'm going to tell
- 5:15Speaker 2: you a little bit about that game, and a little
- 5:18Speaker 2: bit later in the show, we'll get to that. I
- 5:20Speaker 2: don't want to spend too much time specifically on that.
- 5:23Speaker 2: I learned a very valuable lesson, That's all I can say.
- 5:27Speaker 2: I learned a very valuable lesson with that. And it
- 5:31Speaker 2: wasn't because we had like a friendly radio bet on
- 5:35Speaker 2: that and I ended up having to dye my hair purple.
- 5:37Speaker 2: And that wasn't even the lesson. That wasn't even the lesson.
- 5:43Speaker 2: I learned a different lesson because I didn't mind so
- 5:45Speaker 2: much that I had to dye my hair purple back
- 5:48Speaker 2: in two thousand. Now, if you got to die your
- 5:51Speaker 2: hair purple and you got to go to like a
- 5:53Speaker 2: handful of cities, you're going to get confused. For a
- 5:58Speaker 2: number of people that are protesting and things. So anyway,
- 6:02Speaker 2: it's Friday, it's the Friday before the Super Bowl, and
- 6:07Speaker 2: we need a little bit of positivity. Oh, it's also right,
- 6:12Speaker 2: but we're getting started with the Olympics Winter Olympics getting underway.
- 6:16Speaker 2: I love some curling. You just need to know that
- 6:20Speaker 2: during the day when curling is on, I'll be watching
- 6:24Speaker 2: curling just like that will be what I'm doing while
- 6:28Speaker 2: I'm also working the part of my job that does
- 6:31Speaker 2: not involve a mic. Oh even if I've got a
- 6:33Speaker 2: mic on, if curling can be on my TV and
- 6:36Speaker 2: my office, it will be on and I can enjoy curling.
- 6:42Speaker 2: It's just a great sport. Like my good friend Scott
- 6:45Speaker 2: Miller and I used to love watching curling. We were,
- 6:47Speaker 2: of course America first. We really really like our number
- 6:52Speaker 2: two the like, you know, because America can't win all
- 6:56Speaker 2: the time. We were really about a team Denmark, the
- 7:01Speaker 2: Denmark Ladies. They had a lot of talent on that
- 7:03Speaker 2: team back then. So we got that going on. So
- 7:06Speaker 2: we got two collision of sports going on this weekend.
- 7:11Speaker 2: So let's jump into some positivity. This is an Olympics
- 7:15Speaker 2: related story. As we do our positive happy good news
- 7:20Speaker 2: before we kick off the weekend. Businessman Ross Stevens, who
- 7:26Speaker 2: has made a fortune in banking, is changing the game
- 7:30Speaker 2: for Team USA by donating one hundred million dollars to
- 7:33Speaker 2: make sure that the athletes can fulfill their dreams without
- 7:36Speaker 2: going broke. Starting with these upcoming games in Italy, every
- 7:41Speaker 2: US Olympian and Paralympian will receive two hundred thousand dollars,
- 7:44Speaker 2: regardless of whether they bring home a medal or not.
- 7:48Speaker 2: Ross learned that the Olympic athletes lose twelve thousand dollars
- 7:52Speaker 2: a year competing for the US. His gift is designed
- 7:55Speaker 2: to tackle the retirement cliff many athletes face after competing,
- 8:01Speaker 2: providing half the funds when they reach the age of
- 8:04Speaker 2: forty five. The other half is a guaranteed benefit for
- 8:07Speaker 2: their families later on. By making this money available, Ross
- 8:10Speaker 2: is helping athletes enjoy financial security even after all the
- 8:15Speaker 2: attention and fame and glory has dimmed. As he explained,
- 8:19Speaker 2: I do not believe that financial insecurity should stop our
- 8:23Speaker 2: nation's elite athletes from breaking through to new frontiers of excellence.
- 8:28Speaker 2: So it's pretty sweet. I wonder, though, what about the professionals.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Will they be doing this for the guys that you
- 8:37Speaker 2: know and gals that are you know. On like, when
- 8:39Speaker 2: we get to the summer Olympics, the basketball NBA players
- 8:43Speaker 2: are they are they going to get two hundred grand
- 8:47Speaker 2: or are they exempt from this? I wonder how that works,
- 8:49Speaker 2: But I don't want to take away from this with
- 8:51Speaker 2: any snark. I just want to say, hey, it's fantastic.
- 8:55Speaker 2: That is a great thing for the athletes. So there
- 8:58Speaker 2: you go, enjoy eating potatoes. And you live in Germany,
- 9:02Speaker 2: specifically in Berlin, you're in luck. There's a record harvest
- 9:05Speaker 2: of what they're calling a potato flood, resulting in free
- 9:09Speaker 2: potatoes for almost everyone. Seems Germans are turning a potential
- 9:13Speaker 2: waste disaster into a citywide feast. Every single farmer found
- 9:17Speaker 2: himself with a four thousand ton surplus after a major
- 9:22Speaker 2: sale fell through. A charity group called four thousand tonnin
- 9:26Speaker 2: stepped in to distribute the excess potatoes. Two food banks,
- 9:30Speaker 2: homeless shelters, soup kitchen schools, kindergarten churches, and zoos. Two
- 9:36Speaker 2: whole semi trucks were also sent to Ukraine. Residents have
- 9:41Speaker 2: been showing up to over one hundred and seventy distribution
- 9:44Speaker 2: centers with everything from backpacks to wheelbarrows to haul away
- 9:47Speaker 2: their share the potatoes. The timing is perfect because the
- 9:50Speaker 2: extra food will have plenty of people in need through
- 9:53Speaker 2: the rest of the cold winter months. How about that
- 9:56Speaker 2: potatoes to go around my people in Ireland, we had
- 10:01Speaker 2: the potato famine.
- 10:02Speaker 1: This is.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Different. This is the opposite of that. All right, let's
- 10:08Speaker 2: get to some strange and bizarre news from around the world.
- 10:11Speaker 2: We'll start in Pennsylvania, as a woman who was trying
- 10:15Speaker 2: to go through a car wash experienced a nightmare. Felicia
- 10:21Speaker 2: Sullivan chronicled her ordeal on TikTok. She says she was
- 10:25Speaker 2: driving through a Waynesboro Waterworks car wash when the system
- 10:29Speaker 2: suddenly shut down. The doors closed, her car was still
- 10:32Speaker 2: covered in soap, and she could not get out. She
- 10:35Speaker 2: tried the emergency button, nothing happened. She tried knocking calling
- 10:39Speaker 2: for help, still nothing. After kneeling an hour trapped inside,
- 10:43Speaker 2: Sullivan finally called police. Officers said the business owner showed
- 10:47Speaker 2: up got her out safely. She says neither she nor
- 10:51Speaker 2: her car were harmed, and the owner apologized with a
- 10:53Speaker 2: stack of gift cards. Despite the ordeal, says she's not
- 10:57Speaker 2: holding any grudges. I think the gift cards probably helped,
- 11:00Speaker 2: you know, not hold grudges. I think the gift cards
- 11:03Speaker 2: serve a couple of purposes. One of them, hey, I
- 11:06Speaker 2: need to get someone a gift, and I really don't
- 11:08Speaker 2: know what to get them. I need to get someone
- 11:11Speaker 2: a gift and I know they really really like this
- 11:13Speaker 2: specific place. And then I think three is the police
- 11:17Speaker 2: don't hold a grudge. I think that's the top three
- 11:19Speaker 2: reasons for gift cards. That's what I think. A drunk
- 11:24Speaker 2: passenger callsed some mit air chaos on Air Asia's flight
- 11:30Speaker 2: last week when he stripped down to his underwear and
- 11:32Speaker 2: tried to jump out of the plane. The flight from
- 11:36Speaker 2: Vietnam to Thailand was about fifteen minutes from landing when
- 11:39Speaker 2: an extremely intoxicated man stood up, stripped down to his boxers,
- 11:43Speaker 2: paced up and down the aisle, and refused the crew's
- 11:46Speaker 2: orders to sit. He then demanded to be let off
- 11:49Speaker 2: the plane. Maybe he was just protesting. You don't have
- 11:51Speaker 2: to follow orders and instructions if you're protesting. Once the
- 11:55Speaker 2: plane landed, the man reportedly bolted out of an open door,
- 11:58Speaker 2: stumble down the stairs, and his leg Despite that, he
- 12:01Speaker 2: attempted to crawl under a nearby vehicle before airport staff
- 12:05Speaker 2: and authorities finally detained him. If you're protesting, they're not
- 12:08Speaker 2: supposed to detain you, authorities say. He's now facing multiple charges,
- 12:12Speaker 2: including endangering an aircraft, resisting crew instructions, causing a public disturbance.
- 12:17Speaker 2: You're also allowed to cause a public disturbance if you're
- 12:19Speaker 2: just protesting. All of those things in danger. I don't
- 12:23Speaker 2: know about endangering an aircraft. I don't know how that works. Sorry.
- 12:27Speaker 2: I mean, any of those things would be true if
- 12:31Speaker 2: this was at a public protest, right, wouldn't that be
- 12:34Speaker 2: the case? I think so. I don't know. A North
- 12:38Speaker 2: Carolina man under arrest after he allegedly broke into a
- 12:41Speaker 2: Little Caesar's restaurant after business hours, cooked some pizzas, sold
- 12:46Speaker 2: them to customers, and pocketed the money. Police and Kinston
- 12:50Speaker 2: said forty one year old Jonathan Hackett is a former
- 12:53Speaker 2: Little Caesars employee, so he knew his way around their kitchen.
- 12:58Speaker 2: A day after the first break in, he tried to
- 13:00Speaker 2: do it again, only this time there were employees present
- 13:02Speaker 2: and they tried to stop him from entering. Situation got physical.
- 13:06Speaker 2: Hacket ended up in the hospital before being arrested and
- 13:09Speaker 2: taken to jail. Hackett faces a list of charges, including
- 13:12Speaker 2: multiple felonies for breaking and entering, larceny, and obtaining property
- 13:16Speaker 2: by false pretenses. I mean, if he hadn't pocketed the money,
- 13:23Speaker 2: and he had gone through the whole process of putting
- 13:26Speaker 2: it in the register, they would have probably appreciated that, right,
- 13:29Speaker 2: the pocketing of the money, that's the problem. I don't know.
- 13:32Speaker 2: And how do you feel if you're one of the
- 13:33Speaker 2: people who bought a pizza from that guy and you'd
- 13:35Speaker 2: think did I eat something weird? Because I'd be wondering
- 13:40Speaker 2: about that for the rest of my life whether or
- 13:43Speaker 2: not I'd eating something Weird's that guy sticking some weird
- 13:46Speaker 2: in the food? He doesn't work there, He's not bound
- 13:49Speaker 2: by any sort of ethics from a business standpoint. All right,
- 13:55Speaker 2: Let's get down to Florida, where a nineteen year old
- 13:57Speaker 2: man faces charges after deputies say he'd drove his motorcycles
- 14:01Speaker 2: so fast that it caught fire. Yeah. Authority say the
- 14:07Speaker 2: rider was clocked doing about one hundred and thirty miles
- 14:09Speaker 2: an hour Understate four near Davenport. That's when the deputy
- 14:13Speaker 2: tried to pull him over. The driver kept going, forcing
- 14:15Speaker 2: the deputy to end the chase for safety reasons. Just
- 14:19Speaker 2: minutes later, dispatch reported a motorcycle was on fire a
- 14:22Speaker 2: few miles down the road. When the deputy arrived, he
- 14:25Speaker 2: found the same black Honda and its rider, identified as
- 14:28Speaker 2: Nazir Tyreque Haines. Investigators say a mechanical malfunction caused the fire,
- 14:34Speaker 2: bringing the high speed ride to an abrupt stop. Haynes
- 14:38Speaker 2: was arrested and now faces charges including fleeing to elude,
- 14:41Speaker 2: reckless driving, excessive speeding. Deputies also cited him for riding
- 14:45Speaker 2: without a license plate. Seems like the most minor of
- 14:49Speaker 2: the causes of the charges in this. I want to
- 14:52Speaker 2: quickly say this because I think last week I had
- 14:55Speaker 2: a story about a guy who was driving intoxicated with
- 14:58Speaker 2: his wife and the car caught on fire, and I
- 15:00Speaker 2: mentioned that I have a friend who his car caught
- 15:04Speaker 2: on fire, and I just kind of told that as
- 15:06Speaker 2: a story. And anyway, he made sure to text me
- 15:10Speaker 2: last Friday and say, no, I was not drinking when
- 15:14Speaker 2: my car caught fire, and I told him I never
- 15:17Speaker 2: thought that you were. But I would just like to
- 15:19Speaker 2: stress the fact that if you and I happened. I
- 15:22Speaker 2: didn't say his name, but if you and I happened
- 15:24Speaker 2: to know the same person, he wanted to make sure
- 15:27Speaker 2: that we all know he was not drinking. And I
- 15:29Speaker 2: believe him. I believe him, And when he told me
- 15:34Speaker 2: the story, when it happened, the circumstances were certainly not
- 15:37Speaker 2: in a situation where anybody might You wouldn't think anybody
- 15:40Speaker 2: would be drinking. But anyway, he wasn't drinking. For the record,
- 15:45Speaker 2: twenty four year old. Now, I don't know about the motorcycle.
- 15:47Speaker 2: I don't know if he even owns a motorcycle. I
- 15:49Speaker 2: don't think he does. I can't imagine. I can't even
- 15:51Speaker 2: visualize him on a motorcycle. Hey, a twenty four year
- 15:55Speaker 2: old Frenchman hobbled into an emergency room after being he
- 15:59Speaker 2: was a little shelsh that's the way to put it.
- 16:02Speaker 2: The unidentified mans that he was experiencing severe pain after
- 16:05Speaker 2: undergoing some test. Doctors were stunned by what they discovered,
- 16:08Speaker 2: an eight inch World War One era artillery shell lodged
- 16:13Speaker 2: inside his back door, an actual thirty seven millimeter brass
- 16:18Speaker 2: and copper shell from the German Army downtown. You know
- 16:24Speaker 2: what I'm saying, where the sun don't shine. The discovery
- 16:28Speaker 2: triggered a full evacuation of part of the hospital, while
- 16:31Speaker 2: bomb disposal experts were called in to make sure that
- 16:34Speaker 2: the centurial munition was not about to detonate. Fortunately, firefighters
- 16:38Speaker 2: later confirmed the shell was diffused and posed no further danger.
- 16:42Speaker 2: As for the man expected to make a full recovery, unfortunately,
- 16:47Speaker 2: there's some explaining to be done, a lot of questions
- 16:51Speaker 2: about the particular munition, and I suppose his family might
- 16:55Speaker 2: also have some questions. Maybe I can think of at
- 17:00Speaker 2: least one question that they might have. Today's show brought
- 17:03Speaker 2: to you by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center,

- 19:36Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
- 19:39Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 19:43Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 19:46Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 19:49Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 19:51Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 19:55Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 19:58Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there. Maybe you
- 20:00Speaker 2: just want a little man cavid. You'd like to be
- 20:02Speaker 2: able to open the door up and not invite all
- 20:04Speaker 2: the insects in. They can do that for you as well,
- 20:07Speaker 2: and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse
- 20:11Speaker 2: than that thought of having your car trapped inside your
- 20:13Speaker 2: garage and your garage door won't open and you need
- 20:16Speaker 2: somebody to come help, and they do those as well.

- 20:26Speaker 2: dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after the break.
- 20:38Speaker 2: Do you struggle to save money? Put money away, put
- 20:44Speaker 2: money aside, put it into savings, do something to plan
- 20:49Speaker 2: for the future. Do you struggle with saving money? And
- 20:55Speaker 2: some say it's not just about your paycheck, it's about
- 20:59Speaker 2: you or job and the people that you work with.
- 21:04Speaker 2: A new study finding that workplace culture plays a huge
- 21:07Speaker 2: role in how much people save each month. People who
- 21:11Speaker 2: work in business and finance tend to save almost twice
- 21:14Speaker 2: as much as people in creative fields, even when their
- 21:18Speaker 2: incomes are similar. And the reason an environment where you
- 21:23Speaker 2: constantly talk about investments, trades and financial opportunities, saving money
- 21:27Speaker 2: and building wealth is the goal. On the other hand,
- 21:29Speaker 2: those who work in creative fields, teachers, artists, writers, largely
- 21:34Speaker 2: in environments where the focus is on priorities other than money.
- 21:39Speaker 2: In creative fields, discussions with coworkers aren't about money, so
- 21:42Speaker 2: money isn't top of mind. So basically, what you do
- 21:45Speaker 2: for a living can have a significant shape on your
- 21:50Speaker 2: entire relationship with money. Of course, if you're in a
- 21:55Speaker 2: creative field, if you're in an arts field and you
- 21:58Speaker 2: were raised by a dad who constantly talked about retiring
- 22:02Speaker 2: and his retirement money and his investments all the time,
- 22:06Speaker 2: you're more likely to at least get started at some point.
- 22:11Speaker 2: I can speak from some experience, just a little bit
- 22:15Speaker 2: of experience from that, you know, not a lot. I
- 22:19Speaker 2: don't have investment banker money, don't get me wrong, but
- 22:23Speaker 2: putting some stuff aside. Definitely inspired by a dad who
- 22:28Speaker 2: talked about it a lot, a lot. So let's talk
- 22:35Speaker 2: a little bit. Super Bowl over the past ten years,
- 22:37Speaker 2: Super Bowl Sunday as pizza. People tend to eat pizza.
- 22:42Speaker 2: It's a thing. We know, that's the thing, and the
- 22:44Speaker 2: biggest spike in pizza demand according to Google Trends, on
- 22:48Speaker 2: the day of the Super Bowl. The state most likely
- 22:53Speaker 2: to be ordering pizza is Delaware. Now I'm going to
- 22:56Speaker 2: assume that this is based on there's a percentage based
- 22:59Speaker 2: on papa. I can't imagine that the people in the
- 23:02Speaker 2: small state of Delaware are ordering more pizza than people
- 23:05Speaker 2: in larger states. However, if you're basing it off population percentage,
- 23:09Speaker 2: then that may be the case. I assume Michigan next,
- 23:13Speaker 2: followed by Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, Arizona, Nevada, Maryland, Illinois, and
- 23:19Speaker 2: South Carolina. I trust at the very least that it's
- 23:25Speaker 2: based on the population. It can't just be can't just
- 23:31Speaker 2: be that they're ordering that many pizzas. You know. I
- 23:36Speaker 2: would think too that having a team involved in the
- 23:39Speaker 2: game may affect it. I don't know. I just one
- 23:42Speaker 2: thing I have learned about the Super Bowl. By the way,
- 23:47Speaker 2: I don't go if my team, the New York Football Giants,
- 23:51Speaker 2: is in it, I do not go out and watch
- 23:53Speaker 2: it in public. I made that mistake once. I won't
- 23:57Speaker 2: make that again. It did not go well. So they've
- 24:01Speaker 2: been in five Super Bowls. You can figure out which
- 24:03Speaker 2: one I watched out in public, right, I think I
- 24:07Speaker 2: would think you can figure that out. So Vietnam veteran
- 24:12Speaker 2: Tom Triggs leading a convoy of diehard Seahawk fans from
- 24:17Speaker 2: Seattle to San Francisco in his Hawk Rod. It's a
- 24:21Speaker 2: custom nineteen seventy nine Chevy el Camino rescued from a junkyard.
- 24:26Speaker 2: The El Camino is hard to miss with its custom
- 24:29Speaker 2: paint jobs, Seahawks colors, complete miniature football field in the
- 24:33Speaker 2: truck bed, finished with authentic Kingdome turf and PVC goal posts.
- 24:38Speaker 2: He's got that Kingdome turf. That is That is hardcore.
- 24:43Speaker 2: That is hardcore. So yeah, it's pretty fun for those
- 24:46Speaker 2: guys to be making that trek down to down to
- 24:49Speaker 2: San Francisco. Uh. Nintendo Switch now the company's best selling
- 24:54Speaker 2: console in history, having surpassed one hundred and fifty five
- 24:57Speaker 2: million units sold since it launched into twenty seventeen. The
- 25:00Speaker 2: Switch is now behind only Sony's PlayStation two in the
- 25:05Speaker 2: overall gaming charts, which sold more than one hundred and
- 25:08Speaker 2: sixty million units in the years following its launch in
- 25:12Speaker 2: two thousand. Still have a PlayStation two. I don't know
- 25:17Speaker 2: if it still works. I haven't turned it on in
- 25:19Speaker 2: a while, but I did see it kind of recently
- 25:21Speaker 2: when I was looking for something in storage and I went, oh,
- 25:26Speaker 2: wonder if that still works. I wonder if the games
- 25:29Speaker 2: still work on it? I mean I should find out.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Maybe I should do that this weekend. Go back and
- 25:36Speaker 2: play an old version of Madden, back when the Giants
- 25:39Speaker 2: were good or at least better. Right. That'll do it
