Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, twenty fifth day of August. I'm Wes. Thanks
- 0:13Speaker 2: for joining me back at it this morning. I tried
- 0:19Speaker 2: to give your heads up yesterday. There's a chance that
- 0:21Speaker 2: I was not going to be able to have a
- 0:24Speaker 2: show today because yesterday I had some family stuff going
- 0:27Speaker 2: on with my mom. She's had the surgery that she
- 0:30Speaker 2: knewed she had a gallbladder removed, and it was something
- 0:35Speaker 2: that had been going We had some issues with the
- 0:37Speaker 2: whole process, pancreatitis and all that, and we had to
- 0:41Speaker 2: get her to a point where she was able to
- 0:44Speaker 2: actually have the gallbladder removed. So I can happily report
- 0:47Speaker 2: this morning the gallbladder came out yesterday and she is
- 0:52Speaker 2: now recovering from that and hopefully able to be released
- 0:57Speaker 2: from the hospital today. But you know, that's what they
- 1:01Speaker 2: gotta do their thing today. The doctors have to make
- 1:04Speaker 2: that decision just based on some of the things that
- 1:07Speaker 2: were going on in the last week. So anyway, I've
- 1:10Speaker 2: heard from several of you, Thank you for reaching out.
- 1:14Speaker 2: That's the update. That's where we are, and based on
- 1:18Speaker 2: how things go in the next twenty four hours. Maybe
- 1:22Speaker 2: I'm here tomorrow or not. I don't know. I just
- 1:26Speaker 2: kind of have to play it by year. I'm doing
- 1:28Speaker 2: my best to keep shows going this week. This week
- 1:32Speaker 2: is the week that leads into a dragon Con pregame show,
- 1:36Speaker 2: which will officially air beginning this weekend on about two
- 1:41Speaker 2: hundred radio stations, so thanks to the syndication efforts there.
- 1:47Speaker 2: And then we have the DragonCon pregame show, which will
- 1:52Speaker 2: be available beginning probably Friday or Saturday, but basically giving
- 2:00Speaker 2: you the full rundown on what you need to know
- 2:01Speaker 2: for dragon Con twenty twenty six, the fortieth dragon Con,
- 2:06Speaker 2: and it is powered by Columbus State University's Coca Cola
- 2:09Speaker 2: Space Science Center and Tricia hell for one of our
- 2:13Speaker 2: guests on the show this year. We may be adding
- 2:16Speaker 2: some more by this weekend, definitely into next weekend when
- 2:20Speaker 2: dragon Con actually happens Labor Day weekend, so as we're
- 2:24Speaker 2: closing out August and getting ready to push into September
- 2:28Speaker 2: and that first weekend of September, which is going to
- 2:31Speaker 2: be Labor Day weekend, We'll have some more and I've
- 2:34Speaker 2: got some more interviews in the works. It's all I
- 2:38Speaker 2: can say. But excited about this year's show that will
- 2:41Speaker 2: be available beginning Friday and on radio on the weekend.
- 2:47Speaker 2: So and again kind of a slightly probably shorter show today.
- 2:52Speaker 2: It's been a long, a long week with everything going on,
- 2:59Speaker 2: and there's some other things as well, not just involving
- 3:03Speaker 2: my mom, but other family members and some health things.
- 3:05Speaker 2: So we're getting there. That's what we're doing, and we're
- 3:09Speaker 2: all we're all managing right now. I think all of
- 3:13Speaker 2: us as a as a country, we're managing right now.
- 3:16Speaker 2: We know things have gotten a little more interesting with Iran.
- 3:19Speaker 2: We know that that has escalated a bit. Things have
- 3:22Speaker 2: escalated with Canada and tariffs, and listen, people that are
- 3:29Speaker 2: sympathetic to Canada, I want to go, oh, Canada is
- 3:34Speaker 2: going to have these strict tariffs and it's going to
- 3:35Speaker 2: be horrible. It's gonna be worse, and it's like, just
- 3:39Speaker 2: come at it with a fair deal. Let's let's get things.
- 3:43Speaker 2: The plans for the new sets of tariffs will ultimately
- 3:47Speaker 2: be something that are going to lower prices in a
- 3:51Speaker 2: number of places in the US, and everybody wants to
- 3:54Speaker 2: nitpick and say, well, it's going to raise prices on
- 3:57Speaker 2: this item and raise prices on that. But some of
- 4:00Speaker 2: the things in some of the stores, some of the
- 4:02Speaker 2: big chain stores, Walmart, we're seeing an opportunity for prices
- 4:06Speaker 2: to go down there. The price of beef is insane
- 4:12Speaker 2: and it's been really high, an opportunity maybe for some
- 4:15Speaker 2: of those prices to go down as well. And just listen,
- 4:21Speaker 2: not everybody as an economist, I'm not someone who has
- 4:25Speaker 2: a complete grasp of every aspect of this. What I
- 4:29Speaker 2: can tell you is that prices started to go up
- 4:35Speaker 2: because of COVID. Let's all acknowledge that for a minute.
- 4:40Speaker 2: COVID is the reason that prices started to go up.
- 4:43Speaker 2: COVID itself was not a failure of the Trump administration.
- 4:48Speaker 2: You can say all you want to, well, the Trump
- 4:50Speaker 2: administration could have handled things differently. For starters, Tony faluci
- 4:56Speaker 2: could have been honest with what he knew when he
- 4:58Speaker 2: knew it from the beginning. That's one way things could
- 5:00Speaker 2: have been handled differently. And it has nothing to do
- 5:02Speaker 2: with the Trump administration turning a worldwide pandemic and specifically
- 5:08Speaker 2: on US soil, into a weapon for political gain. Could
- 5:12Speaker 2: have been handled differently, and that's something that happened on
- 5:15Speaker 2: the left certainly in mainstream media and a number of places.
- 5:18Speaker 2: It's another issue. It's not to say COVID it's not serious.
- 5:21Speaker 2: COVID wasn't bad. You go, when you make a virus
- 5:24Speaker 2: in a lab and it gets out and it starts
- 5:26Speaker 2: killing people all over the world, and then it becomes
- 5:29Speaker 2: a political thing. The guy who was involved in all
- 5:34Speaker 2: of it starts making a bunch of money off of
- 5:36Speaker 2: all of this and then gets a sweet preemptive pardon
- 5:40Speaker 2: with no charges against him, and then doesn't have to
- 5:44Speaker 2: answer questions. And we still don't have answers about what happened.
- 5:47Speaker 2: But if you want to say the Trump administration failed us,
- 5:51Speaker 2: that's just not the way. I mean, maybe some the
- 5:55Speaker 2: things that happened during that administration you could say maybe
- 5:59Speaker 2: could have been handled differently, but that's true in most cities,
- 6:02Speaker 2: most states. You know, there were only a few places
- 6:05Speaker 2: that handled things basically the way they should have been
- 6:07Speaker 2: handled from the beginning. But this is what people were
- 6:11Speaker 2: doing around the world. And then you say, okay, well,
- 6:15Speaker 2: then the election went the way it went, and you
- 6:17Speaker 2: can argue should it have was it fair? Was it
- 6:20Speaker 2: a valid election? All of those questions that people asked
- 6:24Speaker 2: and were accused of, you know, being a conspiracy theorist
- 6:27Speaker 2: if you questioned it. We have this thing that we
- 6:31Speaker 2: do in our media. We have this thing we do
- 6:33Speaker 2: in our politics on the left, particularly where we say
- 6:37Speaker 2: the people on the right can't question an election, but
- 6:40Speaker 2: people on the left are allowed to. I've talked about
- 6:43Speaker 2: the fact that John Lewis in Georgia had you know,
- 6:48Speaker 2: election law named after him, and he is somebody who
- 6:52Speaker 2: said that George W. Bush wasn't a really elected president
- 6:56Speaker 2: we have and then he didn't accept that Donald Trump
- 6:59Speaker 2: was really elected president in twenty sixteen. So let's be
- 7:03Speaker 2: honest here and say that, you know, to question an
- 7:09Speaker 2: election isn't something that's purely Republican or purely evil, if
- 7:13Speaker 2: you know, because Republicans do it. We're naming election laws
- 7:17Speaker 2: after a guy who wouldn't go to you know, a
- 7:20Speaker 2: State of the Union or an inauguration for a president.
- 7:25Speaker 2: But anyway, so then you get a Biden presidency and
- 7:30Speaker 2: it became an opportunity not to lift up Americans that
- 7:33Speaker 2: were struggling during COVID, but to step on their throats
- 7:38Speaker 2: and make sure that they suffered even more. And that's
- 7:41Speaker 2: what happened. It was we're going to push legislation. Who
- 7:44Speaker 2: knows how involved Biden was in any of that. We
- 7:48Speaker 2: don't know exactly what point the people behind the scenes
- 7:51Speaker 2: or started making most or all of the decisions. I
- 7:55Speaker 2: still maintain it was elder abuse when you start involving
- 7:58Speaker 2: an auto pen and in According to his son Hunter,
- 8:02Speaker 2: Biden said that they were choking ambient down his dad
- 8:04Speaker 2: or giving his dad ambient or you know, so if
- 8:07Speaker 2: you're sedating the president of the United States, he's an
- 8:09Speaker 2: eighty plus year old person with cognition problems. I think
- 8:15Speaker 2: it's elder abuse. That's what you should call it. So
- 8:19Speaker 2: then you had people behind the scenes that are you know,
- 8:22Speaker 2: not elected, that were making decisions and doing things, and
- 8:27Speaker 2: then you know, you jump ahead a little bit. Just
- 8:29Speaker 2: side note on that. When the President the United States
- 8:32Speaker 2: says we're going to bring in a team of people
- 8:35Speaker 2: that are going to wipe out some of the unnecessary
- 8:39Speaker 2: spending and waste in our government and Elon Musk being one,
- 8:43Speaker 2: and then the left complain, well, now he wasn't elected
- 8:45Speaker 2: to anything. Well, at least we knew who he was, right,
- 8:49Speaker 2: at least we could put a face to Elon Musk
- 8:52Speaker 2: and say, this is the guy who's cutting out and
- 8:55Speaker 2: doing all of this reform on these things that are
- 8:58Speaker 2: the bad spending and going to buildings that were empty
- 9:01Speaker 2: and they're paying mortgages or no one's showing up for work,
- 9:04Speaker 2: and God forbid that we take care of that. And
- 9:08Speaker 2: by the way, also along the lines of the criminal
- 9:12Speaker 2: stealing of money and waste. And you know now that
- 9:17Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom is signed in the Nick Shirley Law, and
- 9:21Speaker 2: you know, you're not allowed to media in California are
- 9:25Speaker 2: not allowed to investigate fraud in California if it involves
- 9:29Speaker 2: anything to do with illegals, which was a large chunk
- 9:33Speaker 2: of the fraud that he found in Minnesota. And then
- 9:36Speaker 2: of course, will you know a big part of the
- 9:40Speaker 2: fraud in California that you're not allowed to talk about.
- 9:43Speaker 2: And I'm not going to talk about it because I
- 9:45Speaker 2: don't want to go jail or be fined or whatever
- 9:48Speaker 2: horrible crime it is as a member of the media.
- 9:50Speaker 2: And keep in mind, during the first Trump administration, it was, oh,
- 9:54Speaker 2: he doesn't support the media, and he shuts him up
- 9:56Speaker 2: and he's not allowing him to have their First Amendment rights.
- 10:00Speaker 2: And then California says you know, hold our beers, because
- 10:05Speaker 2: God forbid a member of the media actually investigates fraud
- 10:09Speaker 2: or looks into that problem. Anyway, prices went up during
- 10:12Speaker 2: the Biden administration because you know, it was all about
- 10:15Speaker 2: green energy, It was about shutting down oil production. It
- 10:17Speaker 2: was about shutting down anything that wasn't beneficial to the
- 10:23Speaker 2: party and to the people behind the scenes that were
- 10:25Speaker 2: making the decisions and benefiting financially from it. And the
- 10:30Speaker 2: American people were made to suffer again, and the prices
- 10:34Speaker 2: of things was skyrocketed, and for some reason, they blamed
- 10:37Speaker 2: Donald Trump and his administration. Oh, this is because of
- 10:40Speaker 2: COVID and how poorly he handled COVID. No, as simple, Hey,
- 10:44Speaker 2: we're going to help people, and we're going to get people,
- 10:48Speaker 2: you know, back to work without trying to take credit
- 10:51Speaker 2: for Look at the new jobs we made. They weren't
- 10:54Speaker 2: new jobs. There were people going back to work that
- 10:56Speaker 2: were out of work because of COVID and because all
- 10:58Speaker 2: the businesses were shut down in a political strategy. Anyway, Sorry,
- 11:04Speaker 2: I'm in good form today and I'm trying to get
- 11:06Speaker 2: a lot out and I don't know, maybe I will
- 11:08Speaker 2: do the full segment, but my point is the price
- 11:11Speaker 2: of things definitely skyrocketed. And the best that we got
- 11:14Speaker 2: from the then president Joe Biden was, hey, man, come on, man,
- 11:19Speaker 2: we got the shrink flation. You know what that is.
- 11:22Speaker 2: And yes, it's the way that businesses were trying to
- 11:25Speaker 2: make up for the fact that you were, you know,
- 11:28Speaker 2: not allowing them to do business the way they had
- 11:31Speaker 2: been doing business, and the price of shipping things had
- 11:34Speaker 2: gone up. So yes, they had to start selling us
- 11:38Speaker 2: a slightly smaller package for the same amount, or they
- 11:41Speaker 2: had to raise the price on things that were the
- 11:45Speaker 2: old size. It's a practice that's gone on for a
- 11:49Speaker 2: very long time. Shrinkflation wasn't brand new, and apparently someone
- 11:53Speaker 2: just threw it out there for Biden to say, and
- 11:56Speaker 2: that became the excuse. So we had four years of
- 11:59Speaker 2: the highest inflation that we've seen and it went up,
- 12:03Speaker 2: and then suddenly the American people were like, oh, yeah,
- 12:07Speaker 2: that's bad. So Trump becomes president again. I don't think
- 12:11Speaker 2: that's the reason that should have been the reason for
- 12:13Speaker 2: him to get back in. And now people are blaming
- 12:16Speaker 2: the now about two percent inflation that we've had since
- 12:19Speaker 2: he's been in office, which is kind of the standard
- 12:22Speaker 2: two to three percent is kind of in the standard area.
- 12:25Speaker 2: That cost of living rays that you get every year
- 12:28Speaker 2: is like two to three percent for some people three
- 12:30Speaker 2: percent to five percent in some cases. It's to offset that,
- 12:35Speaker 2: that's what it's for. But for some reason, we're now pretending,
- 12:39Speaker 2: as we're going into the midterms that somehow all of
- 12:43Speaker 2: the inflation that started in the Biden administration, as it's skyrocketed,
- 12:47Speaker 2: is all attributed to Trump, and they want to blame tariffs,
- 12:50Speaker 2: and they want to blame everything that he's done, you know,
- 12:54Speaker 2: painting a fountain that probably had something to do with it.
- 12:57Speaker 2: They were harping on that, certainly all the way up
- 12:59Speaker 2: until the Independence Day celebration, which, by the way, should
- 13:03Speaker 2: have been a big deal. What wasn't a big deal?
- 13:05Speaker 2: I think about it now that were almost to September,
- 13:09Speaker 2: and I still can't figure out. O. Well, I know
- 13:11Speaker 2: why it wasn't a big deal because the wrong president
- 13:14Speaker 2: was there, and you know, we're not supposed to celebrate
- 13:16Speaker 2: anything positive for America anyway. So just had to get
- 13:23Speaker 2: that off my chest. Yes, we got some things, hopefully
- 13:26Speaker 2: that are going to help things and start getting prices.
- 13:29Speaker 2: Some things have already gone back down in prices and Ultimately,
- 13:34Speaker 2: Canada's going to cave, right, That's what's going to happen,
- 13:37Speaker 2: and they're going to try to come up with some
- 13:38Speaker 2: kind of a deal, and you know, that's the way
- 13:42Speaker 2: things tend to go. Also on the subject of money
- 13:46Speaker 2: and politics, and I just want to quickly talk about this,
- 13:49Speaker 2: We've had this thing where the left has been going
- 13:52Speaker 2: after BUCkies. They hate it, they hate American values, they
- 13:56Speaker 2: hate a company that kind of grounds itself in American value.
- 14:00Speaker 1: US.
- 14:01Speaker 2: We've had John Oliver on his show that I don't
- 14:03Speaker 2: know a single person that I haven't heard anyone talk
- 14:08Speaker 2: about watching John Oliver. But anyway, whatever, I guess went
- 14:13Speaker 2: on his show and told everybody not to go to
- 14:15Speaker 2: BUCkies and how bad it was, and he did some
- 14:16Speaker 2: kind of a thing where he made a different BUCkies
- 14:19Speaker 2: logo because somebody was using the same logo as BUCkies
- 14:24Speaker 2: or whatever it was. I don't know. It's led to
- 14:26Speaker 2: some people on the left saying they're going to boycott,
- 14:30Speaker 2: and the arch Beaver Applan the Third, the president and
- 14:36Speaker 2: co founder of BUCkies, is basically laying that out, look,
- 14:43Speaker 2: we're not even going to open we'ren't e gonna think
- 14:44Speaker 2: about opening stores. In states that don't appreciate our values
- 14:49Speaker 2: and American values. So we're just gonna be honest here
- 14:54Speaker 2: and we'll open in more conservative town's, state, whatever. Now
- 15:01Speaker 2: keep in mind that. Oh and this is the quote
- 15:07Speaker 2: he says. He says, I'm starting to realize life's too
- 15:11Speaker 2: short to try to build in places that people don't
- 15:13Speaker 2: appreciate what you're bringing, versus a place like this where
- 15:17Speaker 2: people do appreciate what you're building. That leadership, that concept,
- 15:22Speaker 2: that idea of conservative business friendly, family oriented concept works
- 15:25Speaker 2: so much better if it trickles down from the very
- 15:28Speaker 2: leadership at the top, at the governor's office, at the congressman,
- 15:32Speaker 2: at the senator, at the mayor, of the representatives. And
- 15:37Speaker 2: he's basically talking about a new location that they were
- 15:42Speaker 2: putting in Benton, Arkansas, and that's where he was, That's
- 15:49Speaker 2: what he was addressing on it. And this is about
- 15:51Speaker 2: a week ago when they opened the store there. So
- 15:56Speaker 2: there are a few places in that BUCkies has locations
- 16:01Speaker 2: in conservative states, but they're kind of in areas where
- 16:04Speaker 2: there may be kind of a younger, maybe more liberal
- 16:10Speaker 2: element in that area. And I know one of them
- 16:15Speaker 2: that they have to kind of consider when they talk
- 16:17Speaker 2: about this. It's like the one in Auburn. We have
- 16:19Speaker 2: one in Auburn, Alabama. It's a college town. It's a
- 16:23Speaker 2: very conservative state. But in a town like a university town,
- 16:27Speaker 2: a college town like that, you're going to have a
- 16:28Speaker 2: little bit more liberal ideas involved in it. So they
- 16:33Speaker 2: do have them in places, and they're available to people
- 16:37Speaker 2: who want to shop there in those places. But it's
- 16:40Speaker 2: not necessarily going to be a decision to say we're
- 16:45Speaker 2: going to put this in an area where people don't
- 16:47Speaker 2: appreciate us. It's good business. Nobody should build a business
- 16:52Speaker 2: somewhere where people aren't going to appreciate you. It just
- 16:54Speaker 2: makes sense. Get ready for dragon Con forty. It's the

- 20:11Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean

- 20:27Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
- 20:31Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage
- 20:35Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
- 20:41Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
- 20:44Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
- 20:48Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
- 20:51Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
- 20:53Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
- 20:56Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
- 20:59Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
- 21:03Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
- 21:05Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
- 21:07Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
- 21:11Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
- 21:14Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got. With colder or
- 21:17Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
- 21:22Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
- 21:24Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
- 21:27Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
- 21:29Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
- 21:33Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
- 21:36Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
- 21:38Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
- 21:40Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
- 21:43Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
- 21:46Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
- 21:48Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
- 21:52Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
- 21:54Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,
- 21:58Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred odccolumbus
- 22:03Speaker 2: dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after the break. Well,
- 22:15Speaker 2: if you've been excited about PlayStation six, the system was
- 22:19Speaker 2: expected to be released next year, but the company has
- 22:22Speaker 2: revealed that they cannot give a launch date yet because
- 22:26Speaker 2: of supply chain issues that have been going on. So
- 22:30Speaker 2: Sony is now saying that having a reliable source of
- 22:34Speaker 2: components has become difficult as AI companies continue to buy
- 22:37Speaker 2: up massive amounts of RAM for data centers. And there's
- 22:41Speaker 2: more bad news. When the PS six actually does become available,
- 22:46Speaker 2: it will be more expensive and some industry insider is
- 22:50Speaker 2: expecting a list price over seven hundred dollars. Ouch sugar
- 22:57Speaker 2: Lands Distilling Company in Gallinburg, Tennessee, has officially rolled out
- 23:01Speaker 2: Pringles Dill Pickle Potato Vodka, a sixty proof spirit that
- 23:06Speaker 2: combine sharp vinegar and crisp dill with what the company
- 23:10Speaker 2: describes as a salty potato twist. The distillery recommends enjoying
- 23:16Speaker 2: it as a chilled shot, chasing it with pickle juice
- 23:19Speaker 2: for a pickleback, or mixing it into a bloody Mary
- 23:23Speaker 2: or martini. Uh here's a crazy idea. How about putting
- 23:29Speaker 2: dill in actual dill pickles? What is the deal with that?
- 23:34Speaker 2: I didn't say dill, it was too easy, low hanging fruit.
- 23:38Speaker 2: But my question is, how come when you buy pickles
- 23:42Speaker 2: they don't have to have dill on them. There's some
- 23:44Speaker 2: legal technicality that allows them to not put dil in there,
- 23:48Speaker 2: even though they clearly are marked as dill pickles. I
- 23:52Speaker 2: got issues with this because you know, you can sue
- 23:57Speaker 2: companies for advertising slogans it say like red bull gives
- 24:01Speaker 2: you wings and it doesn't actually give you wings. How
- 24:05Speaker 2: about you know, I mean, I'm not necessarily wanting to
- 24:09Speaker 2: be litigious about everything. I just pointing out the fact
- 24:11Speaker 2: that if it's called a dill pickle, put some freaking
- 24:14Speaker 2: dell in there. Don't tell me it can be a
- 24:17Speaker 2: flavoring that slightly resembles something that could possibly somehow taste
- 24:22Speaker 2: like dil. Give me some deal with my dial pickles.
- 24:25Speaker 2: And if they can put dill inside a you know, vodka,
- 24:32Speaker 2: how about putting it in the pickles. Crazy idea, isn't it.
- 24:36Speaker 2: According to a new survey, thirty percent of drivers believe
- 24:39Speaker 2: no one actually drives the speed limit, and nearly half
- 24:41Speaker 2: believe it's safer to drive with the flow of traffic
- 24:45Speaker 2: than obey the speed limit. Even though drivers seem to
- 24:48Speaker 2: have relaxed attitudes about speeding, Eighty seven percent want more
- 24:51Speaker 2: police patrolling areas with a history of speed related crashes,
- 24:55Speaker 2: and about seventy percent support automated speed cameras in those locations.
- 25:00Speaker 2: I don't know about that. Maybe more police patrolling. I
- 25:04Speaker 2: don't know about people wanting more cameras in the areas.
- 25:08Speaker 2: I don't, I don't, I don't know we feel about that.
- 25:10Speaker 2: I know how I feel about the cameras, and it's
- 25:13Speaker 2: not because I want people speeding. Believe me, that is
- 25:16Speaker 2: not something that I frequently do. It's I stick within
- 25:20Speaker 2: the limits, you know. I know there's a little buffer above.
- 25:25Speaker 2: But I'm also one of those people who gets like,
- 25:27Speaker 2: I don't understand this notion of, you know, stay in
- 25:32Speaker 2: the slow lane on the right so people can drive
- 25:34Speaker 2: as fast as they want to drive on the left.
- 25:36Speaker 2: I don't understand that either, Like there's a speed limit,
- 25:40Speaker 2: that's where it should cap right, don't have to get
- 25:43Speaker 2: out of their way so that they can speed. So
- 25:46Speaker 2: uh yeah, I do think it's kind of I would
- 25:49Speaker 2: rather see, you know, more people like having to be
- 25:54Speaker 2: like police monitoring areas where were running red lights that
- 25:58Speaker 2: one bothers me because that's it's very dangerous. I know
- 26:01Speaker 2: the speed limits important, and I do think people should
- 26:04Speaker 2: slow down in the school zones. But when you got
- 26:06Speaker 2: cameras that can just malfunction and just randomly take pictures
- 26:10Speaker 2: of your car or whatever anyway, you need a human
- 26:13Speaker 2: element to it. I think, I do, I mean, I
- 26:16Speaker 2: do think there's some benefit to the cameras, but you
- 26:19Speaker 2: need a human element to it most of the time.
- 26:22Speaker 2: A new survey found twenty two percent of professionals have
- 26:25Speaker 2: sent or answered a romantic message on LinkedIn, and twelve
- 26:29Speaker 2: percent successfully sparked a relationship that started on that site.
- 26:35Speaker 2: Big shock, because LinkedIn doesn't allow flirting on their site.
- 26:41Speaker 2: The policy hasn't stopped people, though, from breaking the rules
- 26:44Speaker 2: and making LinkedIn a matchmaking site. It makes sense considering
- 26:49Speaker 2: that the survey also found forty eight percent of respondents
- 26:52Speaker 2: in LinkedIn profiles are more trustworthy than typical dating app bios.
- 26:56Speaker 2: Typical because they're actual dating bios. This isn't a dating app.
- 27:04Speaker 2: And they say also they get verified career histories, education credentials,
- 27:08Speaker 2: clear headshots. So many people who are single, uh you know,
- 27:13Speaker 2: are looking for that anyway, They're looking for all those things.
- 27:16Speaker 2: So makes sense. That'll do it for this Tuesday edition
- 27:20Speaker 2: of the show. Thanks to our sponsors. And patrons. Thank
- 27:23Speaker 2: you for listening. Catch you back here tomorrow morning.
