2:04
Speaker 2: at this point.
2:06
Speaker 3: I'll just tell you. Very soon I'll.
2:08
Speaker 2: Have the full rundown of the guests that will be
2:11
Speaker 2: a part of the pregame show. And it's powered by
2:14
Speaker 2: Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center, where you
2:19
Speaker 2: can learn the science behind the fiction.
2:21
Speaker 3: All right, let's get into some a few topics.
2:25
Speaker 2: I've got like three things that I was thinking about
2:27
Speaker 2: really talking about today, and it's kind of in no
2:30
Speaker 2: particular order. There is a level of importance to the topics, certainly,
2:35
Speaker 2: but one of them it's not that important, I don't think,
2:42
Speaker 2: but I think it's worth talking about. And I kind
2:45
Speaker 2: of wonder if I should just get that one out
2:46
Speaker 2: of the way and move on to the metior topics
2:50
Speaker 2: or start with the meteor topics. I don't know, I'll
2:54
Speaker 2: just I'll start with the media topics and if I
2:57
Speaker 2: don't get to the other one, I'll get to it.
2:59
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not urgent, and maybe I can do it,
3:03
Speaker 2: you know, after the break, so it falls under the
3:07
Speaker 2: category of the And you don't hear me use these
3:10
Speaker 2: terms a lot, or this particular term, this expression very much.
3:14
Speaker 2: I was tempted to use it once on my trip
3:17
Speaker 2: in a conversation with someone because I was chatting with
3:21
Speaker 2: someone who was telling me that. And I guess this
3:25
Speaker 2: Canadian family was saying that they were in Australia but
3:30
Speaker 2: wanted to go back and visit in Canada, or we're
3:33
Speaker 2: trying to make a trip somewhere around the world but
3:35
Speaker 2: didn't want to stop in the US. They were just
3:37
Speaker 2: so angry about Trump, didn't want to have anything to
3:40
Speaker 2: do with stopping off. And then they were also discussing
3:45
Speaker 2: with us about there were some things in today's lingo.
3:49
Speaker 2: You know these kids today and their lingo, and they
3:54
Speaker 2: were talking about some of the things they didn't really understand,
3:57
Speaker 2: some terminology that they were unfamiliar with, and whether it
4:00
Speaker 2: was in texting, and similar to the my dad will
4:05
Speaker 2: use LOL to mean lots of love. He doesn't understand
4:09
Speaker 2: it means laugh out loud. I've explained it to him.
4:11
Speaker 2: He still doesn't get it. He still thinks it means
4:15
Speaker 2: lots of love. You know what, more power to him.
4:18
Speaker 2: He's my dad is now eighty, he's living his best life,
4:22
Speaker 2: and if he wants it to mean lots of love,
4:24
Speaker 2: then go for it. You let it be whatever you
4:26
Speaker 2: want it to be. But in this conversation, this particular
4:31
Speaker 2: person was telling me that she was helping her husband
4:34
Speaker 2: understand some terminology, like she and their son were kind
4:39
Speaker 2: of running through some of the things that younger people
4:42
Speaker 2: say that he doesn't understand what it means, and she
4:45
Speaker 2: was kind of running through some of the things and
4:47
Speaker 2: we were having a nice laugh about that. And then
4:50
Speaker 2: she explained this trip they wanted to take and how
4:53
Speaker 2: he was going to go. You know, he was gonna
4:56
Speaker 2: do whatever he could do. Travel the other way around
4:59
Speaker 2: the world to get to this trip they wanted to
5:01
Speaker 2: go on in order to avoid landing in the US
5:04
Speaker 2: because this guy was that upset about Trump. And at
5:10
Speaker 2: that point in my mind and I had I had
5:12
Speaker 2: this in the holster, it was ready to go, and
5:15
Speaker 2: I thought, maybe you should tell them what Trump arrangement
5:18
Speaker 2: syndrome means. But I decided to, you know, be nice,
5:23
Speaker 2: just to be nice. You know, it doesn't cost you
5:26
Speaker 2: anything to do that. I don't often speak of that.
5:30
Speaker 2: I think it's absolutely a real thing for a lot
5:32
Speaker 2: of people. And if someone is so angry with our
5:35
Speaker 2: president that they will fly and spend more money, time
5:40
Speaker 2: and money to go out of the way to stay
5:43
Speaker 2: away from our country. Just landing here and being in
5:47
Speaker 2: an airport for a little while, that certainly qualifies in
5:51
Speaker 2: that there's a there's a level of hate, there's a
5:56
Speaker 2: level of I think it's a lot of misunderstanding.
5:59
Speaker 3: I think ignor prince is probably the right word.
6:01
Speaker 2: I think there's a strong element of that that comes
6:05
Speaker 2: into play.
6:06
Speaker 3: But I digress.
6:08
Speaker 2: I don't talk about that term very much, but I
6:09
Speaker 2: got a couple of examples of that, just things that
6:13
Speaker 2: have happened really in the last couple of days, and
6:19
Speaker 2: often when I share stories like that story, that's not
6:22
Speaker 2: to I didn't mention any names, I didn't say exactly
6:25
Speaker 2: who it was. I may have people listening that know
6:29
Speaker 2: who I'm talking about, that are familiar with some of that.
6:33
Speaker 2: It's not meant to be little anything. It's just meant
6:36
Speaker 2: to say, look, we have people that are misinformed. We
6:40
Speaker 2: have people that are misinformed on both sides of the
6:42
Speaker 2: political aisle. We do the fact that we have people
6:46
Speaker 2: that are misinformed and choose to stay as misinformed as possible,
6:52
Speaker 2: or the things that I find concerning, if there's at
6:55
Speaker 2: least a hunger or a desire to try to understand things,
7:00
Speaker 2: that gives me a little hope. That's a little bit
7:03
Speaker 2: of a breath of fresh air. I'm not a fan
7:07
Speaker 2: of Bill Maher, but I see what he's doing when
7:12
Speaker 2: it comes to at least making an effort to try
7:17
Speaker 2: to understand both sides. That dinner that he had at
7:21
Speaker 2: the White House with Trump and Kid Rock and Dana
7:25
Speaker 2: White and others. That's something that you say, this is
7:28
Speaker 2: showing some sign of maturity or progress or at least
7:33
Speaker 2: being inquisitive wanting to try to understand going in probably
7:39
Speaker 2: with a certain amount of expectations, and then coming out
7:45
Speaker 2: with something that was different. Still doing what he does.
7:49
Speaker 2: He's not a Trump fan by any means, but he
7:52
Speaker 2: has had these moments where he said, you know what,
7:54
Speaker 2: I have to at least admit I was wrong about things.
7:57
Speaker 2: We talked about this yesterday when it came to tariffs
8:01
Speaker 2: in the economy and things. So that's a positive. That's
8:05
Speaker 2: where we could all, I think, at least hope to
8:09
Speaker 2: be see what we've gone through in the last many years.
8:13
Speaker 2: And I've dated this at twenty one years. I can
8:16
Speaker 2: speak specifically to this particular aspect of things. But two
8:21
Speaker 2: thousand and four was the first year that I recall
8:27
Speaker 2: someone telling me that they could not be my friend
8:31
Speaker 2: if I didn't vote the same.
8:32
Speaker 3: Way that they did. This was someone who was a.
8:34
Speaker 2: Staunch liberal and staunch liberal for two thousand and four. Okay,
8:41
Speaker 2: first time I had someone say to me, we can't
8:43
Speaker 2: be friends if you don't vote the same way that
8:46
Speaker 2: I do. And it seemed odd then, but this was
8:50
Speaker 2: before I was covering politics, and I remember thinking, this
8:52
Speaker 2: doesn't seem right, This doesn't even feel right, this seems
8:56
Speaker 2: really evil. This has this feeling of very misguided, very ignorant,
9:04
Speaker 2: and touching.
9:06
Speaker 3: On the line of evil. This is something that this
9:09
Speaker 3: is cult like.
9:11
Speaker 2: Right, you're saying, oh, I can't talk to you, And
9:14
Speaker 2: what we've seen play out over twenty one years is
9:16
Speaker 2: a series of this getting worse, and it really does
9:21
Speaker 2: tend to come from the left. Can't associate with you,
9:25
Speaker 2: can't be friends with you, your support someone who we've all
9:29
Speaker 2: heard repeatedly from politicians and from the media is evil,
9:37
Speaker 2: So therefore you're evil. I can't associate with you, And
9:41
Speaker 2: that in itself is kind of evil, right it isn't
9:46
Speaker 2: it at least toeing the line for it.
9:49
Speaker 3: So if you believe that.
9:54
Speaker 2: And then you don't associate with other people, then the
9:57
Speaker 2: people who want to control you have won. You're really
10:01
Speaker 2: just a pawn. And I'm not talking to people on
10:04
Speaker 2: the left that have friends on both sides have no
10:08
Speaker 2: problems dropping all of that and having an ability to
10:12
Speaker 2: not discuss politics in a social setting, to just be
10:16
Speaker 2: able to turn it off. I like being around those people.
10:20
Speaker 2: I understand I do this, and then when I stop
10:24
Speaker 2: doing this, I can have a conversation with you about this.
10:28
Speaker 2: But as I've pointed out, I'm not evangelical about it.
10:31
Speaker 2: You have your opinions, you have your views, whatever you
10:34
Speaker 2: want them to be. I'm not going to tell you
10:35
Speaker 2: have to change. I could still be your friend. Now,
10:38
Speaker 2: whether you can be my friend, I don't know. The
10:40
Speaker 2: powers that be don't want.
10:41
Speaker 3: Us to talk.
10:43
Speaker 2: Bill mar took a lot of flak for just walking
10:46
Speaker 2: into the White House and saying, all right, I'm here,
10:49
Speaker 2: tell me why I'm here, And that's kind of how
10:52
Speaker 2: he approached that. I don't think he came out of
10:55
Speaker 2: it different in that he still goes after Trump and
10:58
Speaker 2: has issues with him. But I do give him credit
11:01
Speaker 2: at the very least he's now approaching things from the
11:04
Speaker 2: perspective of, okay, let me help me understand. And now
11:08
Speaker 2: that I'm kind of seeing things a little differently, I'm
11:11
Speaker 2: starting to kind of understand. But anyway, not a fan.
11:15
Speaker 2: I'm not a Bill Maher fan by any means. This
11:18
Speaker 2: is not something for me that I say, wow, I've
11:21
Speaker 2: got to got to watch his show. I see the
11:25
Speaker 2: headlines whenever he says something interesting, and that's when I
11:28
Speaker 2: follow up on it. So anyway, we have people that
11:32
Speaker 2: definitely live in that world. They don't want to associate
11:35
Speaker 2: with anybody who has different opinions to them, and they're
11:39
Speaker 2: comfortable rooting their hatred in this area of Well, this
11:45
Speaker 2: is what I was told, or this is what I feel.
11:49
Speaker 2: I don't have any evidence to support it, but this
11:52
Speaker 2: is how I feel. This is what I believe to
11:55
Speaker 2: be happening. So we just had a great week for
12:00
Speaker 2: this administration, a great week for the country. I understand
12:03
Speaker 2: if you don't support him, you probably don't want the
12:07
Speaker 2: things that he wants to do to succeed. But overall, economically,
12:12
Speaker 2: when we're all succeeding, things are good for us. If
12:16
Speaker 2: you support all these social programs that we have in place,
12:21
Speaker 2: you have to at least be supportive when economically we
12:26
Speaker 2: do well and that kitty starts to get refilled, because
12:32
Speaker 2: let's be honest, those social programs have to be funded somewhere.
12:35
Speaker 2: We were on a trajectory under the last administration for
12:39
Speaker 2: a lot of that to dry up. The deficit was insane,
12:42
Speaker 2: or it is insane, but it was progressively getting so
12:45
Speaker 2: much worse over that like five year period starting back
12:48
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen with COVID. So yes, us doing well
12:55
Speaker 2: right now should be something that at least on some
12:58
Speaker 2: level you should be able to to celebrate, but that's
13:01
Speaker 2: not the way it works because it's all about politics
13:04
Speaker 2: and it's all about what you're told. So cuts have
13:07
Speaker 2: been made, and some of those cuts are having a
13:12
Speaker 2: very specific economic impact on individuals jobs around the country.
13:18
Speaker 2: We've heard all these stories about jobs. We know things
13:20
Speaker 2: are going on when it comes to public broadcasting right now,
13:24
Speaker 2: and there should be concerns for people who work in
13:26
Speaker 2: public broadcasting because it's a looming thing hanging over people's
13:32
Speaker 2: heads that maybe things are going to go away. And
13:37
Speaker 2: we've had this ongoing discussion now for again it's been
13:42
Speaker 2: like thirty years about whether or not the public should
13:46
Speaker 2: still be funding public broadcasting. So the main argument here
13:54
Speaker 2: is that the average citizen is going to have some
14:00
Speaker 2: of their tax money go towards public broadcasting. But if
14:03
Speaker 2: public broadcasting only supports one party or only supports one truth, right,
14:11
Speaker 2: there's this idea now that's come from public broadcasting where
14:14
Speaker 2: they say, look, we're looking for agenda based, we're not
14:18
Speaker 2: looking for the truth. When it comes to journalism. That
14:22
Speaker 2: should be a red flag that should jump out at anybody.
14:28
Speaker 2: It should unless you're so biased and one sided that
14:33
Speaker 2: you think, hey, cheating is fine. Let's cheat the system,
14:36
Speaker 2: and let's let everybody pay to cheat the system. So
14:43
Speaker 2: you can tell yourself and convince yourself that this is
14:46
Speaker 2: about somebody who got their feelings hurt. Because everybody wants
14:49
Speaker 2: to say Trump just gets his feelings hurt and he
14:51
Speaker 2: goes after people. They want to say he got his
14:53
Speaker 2: feelings hurt by Stephen Colbert, so he went after him.
14:57
Speaker 2: People are just filling in the blanks. They just say,
14:59
Speaker 2: we know that that's what happened.
15:01
Speaker 3: You don't know that.
15:03
Speaker 2: You don't You're just making up a narrative in your head,
15:06
Speaker 2: or someone's made up a narrative and told you, and
15:08
Speaker 2: you're just buying into it with no evidence to support
15:12
Speaker 2: it at all, and you're willing to put our future
15:15
Speaker 2: on the line for it. Right as a country wheres
15:18
Speaker 2: cuts are coming in and it's putting us in a
15:20
Speaker 2: position where we can all do a little better economically.
15:24
Speaker 2: Let's also go to the other the reason I brought
15:26
Speaker 2: up the tariffs this week, because here we go, great
15:29
Speaker 2: week for the country, great week for the American people,
15:33
Speaker 2: and what is the mainstream media discussing. They're discussing whether
15:36
Speaker 2: or not Donald Trump was cheating at golf in Scotland.
15:40
Speaker 2: They saw somebody drop a ball and they said he
15:43
Speaker 2: probably hit the ball. So that person who dropped the
15:45
Speaker 2: ball is caddy or whatever they were doing that to
15:48
Speaker 2: help him cheat. I'm not aware of him being in,
15:52
Speaker 2: you know, even a senior PGA tournament, Like what are
15:56
Speaker 2: we keeping up with? And USA Today asked the White House, Hey,
16:03
Speaker 2: what was going on with that?
16:04
Speaker 3: Was that cheating?
16:06
Speaker 2: And of course our White House Press Secretary's Office responded
16:11
Speaker 2: with a hey, let's focus on the teriff or are
16:14
Speaker 2: you worried about the golf game? The legendary golf game
16:17
Speaker 2: was how it was worded, And yes, that is exactly
16:23
Speaker 2: we heard. All this stuff about distractions about Epstein from
16:29
Speaker 2: the White House is distracting us about Epstein by all
16:31
Speaker 2: these accusations coming out about Barack Obama, former President Obama
16:36
Speaker 2: and his staff, his team, and that was a distraction,
16:41
Speaker 2: but at least it would be a worthwhile distraction.
16:44
Speaker 3: If it was. I don't think it was.
16:46
Speaker 2: But if it was, is talking about the president's golf
16:50
Speaker 2: game a worthwhile distraction? Is that worth our time? In
16:53
Speaker 2: any way shape or form? I mean any way shape
16:59
Speaker 2: or form or is it a useless distraction just to
17:02
Speaker 2: get us talking about anything else except for success. And
17:06
Speaker 2: it's also meant to be something to get people to ridicule,
17:09
Speaker 2: so that again they just believe that's how bad this
17:12
Speaker 2: guy is.
17:13
Speaker 3: He even cheats at golf.
17:14
Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca
17:17
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center.
17:20
Speaker 4: Hey. Everyone, this is doctor Sean Crusin. I'm the executive
17:22
Speaker 4: director of Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
17:26
Speaker 4: I want to tell you about a very special exhibit
17:29
Speaker 4: that we have on display the summer. It's so big
17:33
Speaker 4: that it can't even fit in our own exhibit gallery.
17:35
Speaker 4: It's just too many pieces. This is a collection of
17:40
Speaker 4: items from the personal collection of astronaut David R.
17:44
Speaker 3: Scott.
17:45
Speaker 4: Dave Scott flew on Gemini eight with Neil Armstrong. He
17:49
Speaker 4: flew on Apollo nine, a dress rehearsal for the moon landing,
17:52
Speaker 4: and then most importantly perhaps he commanded Apollo fifteen, where
17:56
Speaker 4: he became the first person to ever drive a car
17:59
Speaker 4: on the surface of the Moon. Because Dave's brother Tom
18:03
Speaker 4: lived and worked here in Columbus, Georgia, with our Columbus
18:06
Speaker 4: Chamber of Commerce. We got to be good friends with Tom.
18:09
Speaker 4: Tom has coordinated a very generous donation of artifacts and
18:13
Speaker 4: memorabilia from the Scott Brothers collection to us here at
18:17
Speaker 4: Coca Cola Space Science Center. And again that's that collection
18:20
Speaker 4: got so overwhelmingly large we couldn't put it on display here.
18:23
Speaker 4: That's why we're doing the exhibit at the Bow Bartlet Center.
18:26
Speaker 4: They are open from eleven am to four pm Tuesday
18:30
Speaker 4: through Saturday. Go down and check out this great exhibit
18:33
Speaker 4: on display at the Bow Bartlet Center. Check out all
18:36
Speaker 4: the other wonderful pieces of artwork down there as well,

19:05
Speaker 2: away for you, and while they're there, you can always
19:08
Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
19:10
Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
19:14
Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be,
19:16
Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
19:19
Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
19:23
Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
19:26
Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insallation issue that you've got
19:29
Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
19:33
Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
19:36
Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
19:39
Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
19:41
Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
19:46
Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
19:47
Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
19:50
Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
19:52
Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
19:55
Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
19:57
Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse that thought of
20:00
Speaker 2: having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage
20:03
Speaker 2: door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
20:06
Speaker 2: And they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five
20:10
Speaker 2: eight forty five hundred, seven oh six three five eight
20:12
Speaker 2: forty five hundred o dccolumbus dot com more West Carol
20:17
Speaker 2: Morning Show right after the break. Okay, so this is
20:29
Speaker 2: this is the topic that's not all that important, and
20:31
Speaker 2: I wanted to try to get to it in the
20:33
Speaker 2: first segment. But that's all right, we'll talk about it
20:35
Speaker 2: now because really it's I mean, it's a comical thing
20:39
Speaker 2: that happened, but we're not supposed to think that it's comical.
20:42
Speaker 2: We're not supposed to acknowledge it in any way as
20:46
Speaker 2: being comical, but it is happened during a WNBA game.
20:53
Speaker 2: Khalia Copper is her name. Her wig came off during
20:56
Speaker 2: the game. You may not know the name Khalia Copper.
21:00
Speaker 2: I didn't know it, but she's a w NBA player,
21:03
Speaker 2: trust me. And her wig came off during the game
21:06
Speaker 2: and there's a timeout called play got stopped. Copper grabbed
21:10
Speaker 2: the wig, ran off the court into the back to
21:14
Speaker 2: hide the fact that I guess she was wearing a wig.
21:18
Speaker 2: First of all, I didn't know, Like I know, there's
21:21
Speaker 2: some circumstances where you wear a wig and it's very
21:24
Speaker 2: much kind of like you know, it's a hush hush,
21:30
Speaker 2: you keep it quiet. You don't want people to know
21:32
Speaker 2: that you're wearing a wig. If Lebron James that thing,
21:36
Speaker 2: that whatever it is he's wearing, if that came off,
21:39
Speaker 2: it would be kind of like, oh my gosh. We
21:40
Speaker 2: knew there's something going on there, but we didn't know
21:45
Speaker 2: exactly what it was. Now we can see what it is.
21:48
Speaker 2: But I think in many instances, especially when you've got
21:52
Speaker 2: women that you know, they treat wigs. Some women that's
21:56
Speaker 2: at all, but some women treat wigs like and I
21:59
Speaker 2: worked with many women who did this, and they just said, look,
22:02
Speaker 2: I just I wear something for a little while, I
22:03
Speaker 2: switched over to the other one. It's not a big deal.
22:06
Speaker 2: I might wear something one day, wear something completely different
22:08
Speaker 2: than next, and then go back to the other. I
22:11
Speaker 2: worked with women like that.
22:13
Speaker 3: It was nothing.
22:13
Speaker 2: We just all thought, oh, your hair looks nice today.
22:15
Speaker 2: Oh it's a new wig, and you just move on
22:17
Speaker 2: with it. I didn't know this was a big shock.
22:19
Speaker 2: I didn't know this was a crazy thing to find out.
22:23
Speaker 2: This is not like, you know, I'm not talking about
22:25
Speaker 2: now family feud. Obviously he's bald, But when Steve Harvey was,
22:30
Speaker 2: you know, wearing that wig, the little hat wig that
22:33
Speaker 2: he was wearing and when he was doing the Steve
22:35
Speaker 2: Harvey Show, if that had fallen off while they were taping, yeah,
22:39
Speaker 2: I could imagine he would grab it and run to
22:41
Speaker 2: the back because it'd be like, oh my gosh, John Travolta,
22:46
Speaker 2: Ted Dance and any of those.
22:47
Speaker 3: People when you go like, I think they're wearing a wig.
22:49
Speaker 2: It would have been a big, big deal. I don't
22:52
Speaker 2: know that this was a big deal. This was a
22:54
Speaker 2: player who I mean, the wig came off during a
22:58
Speaker 2: basketball game. It's not like grabbing it and running into
23:01
Speaker 2: the back of races it from happening.
23:03
Speaker 3: It happened.
23:05
Speaker 2: What's most interesting about it is that they stopped play
23:08
Speaker 2: for it, like that was a justifiable reason to just
23:11
Speaker 2: stop an athletic competition from But and then I guess
23:16
Speaker 2: someone made fun of her from the stands and got ejected.
23:19
Speaker 2: I don't understand what's going on in the WNBA, But
23:23
Speaker 2: apparently you can't make a joke about somebody wearing a wig.
23:26
Speaker 2: It hurts somebody's feelings or triggers them or whatever it does.
23:29
Speaker 2: And ah, yeah, yeah, I mean, anyway, I told you
23:37
Speaker 2: yesterday about the tea app or yesterday or Monday Africa,
23:40
Speaker 2: which day.
23:40
Speaker 3: But the tea app where people.
23:43
Speaker 2: Rate men women rate men with a red flag or
23:45
Speaker 2: a green flag, Well, it's been hacked twice in the
23:48
Speaker 2: last couple of days, and it's exposed more than seventy
23:51
Speaker 2: thousand user images, photo IDs, and direct messages. The data
23:55
Speaker 2: breach is sensitive because the app itself is a bit
23:59
Speaker 2: controversial because it's women rating men and it's supposedly private.
24:05
Speaker 2: So also a big deal because users were assured.
24:09
Speaker 3: That they would remain anonymous.
24:12
Speaker 2: So if you shared something intimate about a guy, even
24:16
Speaker 2: if you're just saying, hey, this is a friend of
24:18
Speaker 2: mine and you probably don't want to date him even
24:20
Speaker 2: though he's a friend of mine, but you may you
24:22
Speaker 2: know all that kind of informations I guess in there.
24:25
Speaker 3: So we'll see where this goes.
24:27
Speaker 2: For the most currently the most downloaded free app in
24:31
Speaker 2: the Apple Store number one. I don't know how this
24:37
Speaker 2: will affect that, obviously, I can't imagine it will be
24:39
Speaker 2: a good thing. But anyway, how many friends does someone need? Well?
24:43
Speaker 2: A new study says five people with five good friends
24:48
Speaker 2: reportedly are have the best well being. Those with three
24:52
Speaker 2: close friends weren't as happy. Doesn't seem like a big difference.
24:55
Speaker 2: But according to research, it is basically having five friends
25:00
Speaker 2: gives you more peace of mind and there's a feeling
25:03
Speaker 2: that there's always someone there that you can count on
25:07
Speaker 2: or call.
25:07
Speaker 3: So that's nice. That's how many you need? You need five?
25:09
Speaker 3: Do you have five? You're good? You need at least five,
25:14
Speaker 3: most people do at least. So school getting started.
25:18
Speaker 2: I know some in O were listening area getting started
25:21
Speaker 2: this week, Muscogee County which is a big chunk of
25:26
Speaker 2: the listening area where we are doing the show out
25:30
Speaker 2: in the Chadah Chattahoochee Valley. And there are other schools
25:33
Speaker 2: starting back next week other districts, but Muscoge County back
25:35
Speaker 2: next week. New survey parents have school aged kids found
25:39
Speaker 2: that back to school shopping this season is putting a
25:42
Speaker 2: lot of financial stress on them, so much so that
25:45
Speaker 2: they're going into debt and cutting back on essential school supplies,
25:50
Speaker 2: cutting back on essentials to afford school supplies. Rather, thirty
25:54
Speaker 2: nine percent of parents survey said they can't afford back
25:56
Speaker 2: to school shopping this year. Forty four percent said they
25:59
Speaker 2: plan to take on to cover the cost. That's up
26:02
Speaker 2: thirty four percent from thirty four percent from twenty twenty
26:06
Speaker 2: four f four percent of parents said that they plan
26:09
Speaker 2: to sacrifice necessities like groceries to make sure their kids
26:12
Speaker 2: have what they need for the upcoming school year. You know,
26:19
Speaker 2: there are necessities for back to school, and then there
26:22
Speaker 2: are not necessities for back to school.
26:25
Speaker 3: Someone was asking me yesterday.
26:27
Speaker 2: Boys all got brand new clothes for going back to school.
26:30
Speaker 3: No, they got closed for going back to school. They're
26:34
Speaker 3: not all brand new. They get shoes when they need them.
26:37
Speaker 3: They don't get new shoes for back to school. They
26:39
Speaker 3: get shoes when they need shoes. They get clothes when
26:43
Speaker 3: they need clothes.
26:44
Speaker 2: That's what we do. That's how it works. New backpack,
26:48
Speaker 2: we'll check the other one. I think it's good. They
26:50
Speaker 2: can keep using it. There's nothing that says they can't
26:52
Speaker 2: use it. That's kind of how we do it. That's
26:54
Speaker 2: our version of beating the stress of back to school shopping.
26:58
Speaker 3: I know not everybody can do that.
26:59
Speaker 2: Some kids just to wear out the clothes, wear them
27:02
Speaker 2: out quickly, wear out the book bags.
27:04
Speaker 3: That'll do it.
