The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start your day.
0:06
You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show. Thursday morning, eighteenth day
0:11
of July. I'm Wes, Thanks for joining me. We've had a great
0:17
week with the kitchen progress. Only all of the progress that happened months ago,
0:25
but at least its progress. I won't complain something about a gift horse
0:29
or whatever, but anyway, we've made some progress. We have a functional
0:33
kitchen in many many ways. We still got some things that have to be
0:37
dealt with, but we're much closer to having a fully fully operational kitchen.
0:43
I'm just sharing that since it's been going on for so long and I haven't
0:47
given a lot of updates, but there's been a lot of update things to
0:49
update this week. So that's why you've gotten a couple of them. Okay,
0:53
So it is Thursday tonight, the final night of the RNC convention in
1:00
Milwaukee. We'll be wrapping up today. We'll hear from former President Trump.
1:07
Last night we had jd Vance, the nominee for vice president, selected by
1:14
Donald Trump. Some say selected by Don Junior. It doesn't matter. He
1:18
got selected. That's the pick. A lot of people think, Wow,
1:23
this guy will be a solid potential if should they win, and right now
1:29
it looks like could be a commanding win. He would be a solid shoe
1:36
win nominee in four years. I think we're getting ahead of ourselves on that.
1:42
I think we have to focus on November. You know, I hate
1:45
to go to the sports. You know, Bama and Georgia fans know how
1:49
this works. You got to just focus on the next game, focus on
1:53
the next win. That's all you can focus on. We've got a game.
1:56
We got a game coming up Saturday. Gotta focus on that. Can't
2:00
focus on into the season, can't focus on national championship selection, none of
2:06
that. You can't playoff committee selections or whatever. I know it's changing,
2:09
but I can't focus on that. You got to focus on the next game,
2:13
the next win, and the next win is You got to focus on
2:20
what's happening in November. That's all that really matters at this point in time.
2:23
But it's not all that matters. Is there's other things that matter.
2:27
First of all, it's been interesting to me to see that there have been
2:30
a number of people on social mediu that are making fun of jd Vance.
2:38
They're saying he's fat. What he has a beard, Does that automatically make
2:46
him fat? Is that the assumption here is that he has a beard and
2:50
it gives him a puffi er face. I don't know. I've never really
2:52
examined what JD. Vance might look like. I've never in my head thought
2:58
what would JD. Vance look like with his off I didn't think that that
3:01
was something that we worry about anymore. I didn't think that that was something
3:05
as a society we put our focus on. We're focusing on weight. I
3:09
know people were zeroed in on what the when former President Trump went in and
3:15
was booked in Atlanta. A lot of focus there on his weight and his
3:21
height and whatever was registered there, and oh, it's no way that's what
3:23
he weighs. And people were just obsessed with that. So they're making fun
3:28
of JD. Evan's They said, the JD stands for just donuts. It's
3:32
interesting the double standard. There's a ridiculous double standard that we have in this
3:38
society. That we've created, this society by the way that we're going to
3:42
be leaving to our children and grandchildren. It's scary to me to think that
3:46
this is the society that we're leaving to them. So a couple of things
3:52
I want to talk about that I guess are the different focuses on what's going
3:59
on right now concerning the UH Now, Republicans aren't so much as focused on
4:05
the attempted assassination at Donald Trump. They're focused on unity. That's been their
4:10
word since this convention started. Unity, Let's bring everybody together, let's have
4:15
unity, let's do this. And I think that message is hitting. It's
4:20
hitting at least with conservatives, it's hitting with Republicans, it's hitting I think
4:25
with you know, a right of center people. Is it hitting it with
4:28
enough independence, we'll see. I think a lot of people are curious.
4:31
They're probably getting some eyes on the convention that maybe they wouldn't have been getting
4:36
prior to the assassination attempt. But there's a few things that we have to
4:44
address that are being discussed concerning this convention, and the main thing I think
4:54
that I've been you know, and I don't watch a lot of MSNBC.
4:58
I don't watch a lot of CNN. When I'm at the gym, sometimes
5:02
CNN's on and I see it. But I do know that the at least
5:11
MSNBC has been discussing Donald Trump's ear. They want to get to the bottom
5:17
of what's going on, like they feel there hasn't been enough reporting on the
5:23
damage to his ear. The medical records haven't been released. We haven't gotten
5:27
a look at that ear. It's under that bandage. I've also seen that
5:30
there are people making fun of the bandage, like the bandage isn't necessary.
5:39
I don't know, if you've ever studied anything about the human body, some
5:44
parts of the body are more prone to bleed than others. Don't know if
5:47
you've ever had an injury to your ear that calls bleeding. I've never been
5:53
shot in the ear, but I did once take a fish hook to the
5:57
ear. We were fishing. We were kids. One of my brothers,
6:00
I forget which one, probably Matt, and I just say that because he
6:04
was younger, you know, would to throw his line in, came back,
6:11
hooked me in the ear. It happened. They had to cut it
6:13
out, but E're bled a lot for days, and to bandage it,
6:18
had to deal with it, had to keep bandages on it. The blood
6:23
vessels are right there. It's just the way that the whole thing is.
6:27
It's the way that it was made, and you have the cartilage in the
6:32
ear, you have the blood vessels right there on the surface, and it's
6:36
prone to bleed. It's not an easy injury to heal quickly. Probably something
6:46
that I would think would need to be bandaged, maybe even for a long
6:53
period of time. I tend to trust the medical professionals that treated him,
6:59
you know, after he was shot in the ear. But MSNBC and some
7:01
others one think the ear bandage is unnecessary, that he should be just walking
7:06
around the convention without the bandage on. For some reason, I don't know.
7:13
Some probably hoping that it would get infected and that, you know,
7:15
that would help eliminate their problem, because a lot of them are voiced concerns.
7:19
Not on MSNBC, but a lot of folks have thought it was funny.
7:24
On the left, they thought it was funny he got shot, or
7:27
disappointed he didn't get killed, or whatever, which is disgusting. So maybe
7:30
they're hoping for him to if we can pressure him about taking the bandage off,
7:35
maybe it will get infected. I don't know. I don't know what
7:40
they think. I don't know why they think the way they do. I
7:42
don't know why their focus is on this great cover up about his ear.
7:47
See there's some that for some reason think that maybe the injury wasn't so bad.
7:51
They don't understand. They want to get to the bottom of that.
7:58
While many on the right are asking questions about how did a guy get on
8:01
a roof with a rifle within easy range of I mean, I could hit
8:09
a target from that distance pretty consistently. I know, you've got a factor
8:13
in. There's a few other things at play. You know. There's the
8:16
oh my gosh, I'm about to cause a civil war. You know.
8:20
There's that oh my gosh, there's people screaming at me down here. The
8:24
police just pop their head up and for some reason ran away. I don't
8:28
know if the kid pointed a gun at him or what. So there's other
8:31
factors at play, you know. And if you're not a skilled marksman and
8:35
you don't shoot a lot, you know, maybe you don't factor in for
8:37
wind and all those sorts of things, or that the fact that Trump was
8:41
going to move his head around. But the question that many should be asking
8:46
is, you know, how how did this failure at the at the very
8:54
top, all the way down to probably the people who were directly charge at
9:01
this event. How has there not been answers to the questions that we need
9:05
answers to. How has there not been some sign that accountability is coming?
9:11
It should be, and I don't know if that's gonna happen, but people
9:16
are focused on whether or not his ears really bleeding or was bleeding, or
9:20
we could see the blood. I did see someone, by the way,
9:24
I may have already mentioned this the other day, but I did see someone
9:26
suggest that he wasn't shot, that it was the old wrestling trick. And
9:31
sorry if I'm breaking the they call it k fabe and wrestling where you keep
9:37
the secrets and you stick to you know, the storyline. And I'm sorry
9:43
if I'm doing that and ruining things for you. But back in the day,
9:48
when you would see those matches, man, it would be like Dusty
9:50
Rhodes and I don't know, some other wrestler whoever he would wrestle in his
9:56
matches. They would get real bloody. Oh man, they've Adrian A.
10:00
Donnis maybe somebody like that, somebody like that, and they would they would
10:05
get in the ring and they would start wrestling, and then all of a
10:07
sudden, man, you would just see blood just pouring down Dusty's face,
10:13
just you know, pouring down his face, coming out of his forehead,
10:16
so much of it, and it would just be everywhere, and he you
10:20
know, got it and they would say, oh. People would go,
10:22
oh, man, that guy really had a tough match. He was bleeding.
10:26
And then some people would go, oh, it's fake. Is a
10:28
blood capsules that he's rubbing all over his head? And that probably happens some
10:31
I don't know, But what I do know is that many of those cases,
10:37
what they would do is they would they would the night before, you
10:41
cut your forehead, just a little gentle cut, and you let it bleed,
10:45
and then you let it heal up. And then that way, like
10:48
the next day when you're in the ring and you're wrestling with somebody, doesn't
10:52
take a lot to open that wound back up again. It's just sort of
10:56
barely healed and you could dig into it with your hands with something in the
11:00
ring maybe and you could get it to bleed again. And that's before we
11:03
had, you know, understanding about bloodborne disease. Yeah, that doesn't get
11:11
it. They don't bleed as much these days. When they bleed now,
11:16
I'm assuming it's not intentional. I don't know. I don't know what the
11:18
I don't know how they do it. And I'll be honest, I've been
11:20
around wrestling a lot. I've got a lot of great wrestling stories. I've
11:24
been around, I've interviewed, I've met so many wrestlers. Without actually being
11:30
a diehard fan, I've had times where I've appreciated it and enjoyed it.
11:35
When I was a kid, I really liked it, But as an adult,
11:37
I'm not one of those people that's obsessed with wrestling. Although you know,
11:41
I've got wrestlers, professional wrestlers that regularly talk to friends if you will,
11:50
and spend a lot of time around some big name wrestlers. It shows
11:54
done things in the ring. One of the things I did in the ring
12:00
is there was one night I was arm wrestling. This was in Columbus arm
12:05
wrestling a guy named Miller who worked on our country station at the time,
12:11
and we arm wrestled, and he used to be a wrestler, you know,
12:16
the real wrestler in the ring. And honestly, if Miller and I
12:20
arm wrestled, he could have ripped my arm off right at the socket and
12:24
just beaten me with it much bigger than me, you know, fit,
12:28
much more like stronger than me, all of that stuff. He would have
12:31
killed me if we'd arm wrestled. So we decided that, you know,
12:35
maybe I would cheat and beat him. And he was supposed to hit me
12:39
with a belt in the ring like we had gotten a belt from Dusty Roads
12:43
of all people who'd loaned us this belt we were going to use. It
12:46
was the old NWA Tag team belt, one of those belts, but from
12:50
a distance you didn't know what it said on it. We said it said,
12:54
you know, arm wrestling Champion of the World or whatever. So he
12:58
was going to give me the belt. He hits me in the head with
13:00
the belt and I fall down in the ring and we got a nod from
13:03
Rick Flair in the back he saw what we did. We got that.
13:05
That was like the best. We loved the whole experience and we had fun.
13:11
I don't know how I successfully pulled off the fall, but I did,
13:15
but I had people leading up to it. You should cut your face,
13:18
put a big old cut in your forehead, and then open it up
13:20
in the ring the next night, and then I'll think that you're bleeding from
13:26
the hit. One By that point, we did understand bloodborne disease, not
13:31
that I have any, but we understood it enough to know that wasn't a
13:35
good idea to bleed all over the WWE's ring. I liked when they would
13:39
ask me to do things when they came. I did many of those.
13:41
I wanted an opportunity to come back, so I didn't want to ruin their
13:45
ring. I didn't want them to have to, you know, put another
13:50
whatever they call the top of the ring, a tarp, whatever that is.
13:54
What do they stretch out on top? I don't know the terminology.
13:56
So I didn't do it. But I'm telling you there's people that think that's
14:01
what Donald Trump did. He cut his ear and then he rubbed it when
14:05
someone shot at him, and then made himself bleed so he could get up
14:09
and pump his fist. There's people who believe this. Let's just talk for
14:13
a minute with all of that. And I realized it's a crazy lead into
14:16
this, But let's just take a minute to soak in what Saturday could have
14:24
been. Saturday could have been the beginning of a civil war. Saturday could
14:31
have been the beginning of absolute civil unrest, riots, and we're used to
14:41
riots. On the left, we're used to, you know, oh my
14:45
gosh, somebody got killed. We're going to get out in the streets and
14:48
stop traffic and threaten people. And if you're wearing a red hat, we're
14:50
going to throw molotov cocktails at your car and police car. We're used to
14:54
that. Sadly, it's really sad that we're used to that. We're not
15:01
used to that. On the right, we're just not. That's not what
15:05
the right does. Imagine Donald Trump gets shot, the potential for that to
15:11
happen, an absolute rising of people that might have done that. That scares
15:20
me. It terrifies me because the left, we know, is always ready
15:24
to go. If the right's out protesting that way, the left is ready
15:28
to go. They can get you know, minimum wage or twenty dollars an
15:31
hour or whatever they get. They can get people together quickly, and you
15:35
know, the white van shows up and people come rolling out and they're wearing
15:39
Trump shirts, and who knows what they're gonna do quickly this could escalate.
15:46
Could have been horrible, not just because we would have lost one of our
15:54
the person who is now officially the nominee, but at the time was the
15:56
presumptive nominee was about to be the nominee, someone who had been president for
16:02
four years, just four years ago. Someone who is you know, as
16:10
we've discussed, has that cult of personality, has that charm, has that
16:15
appeal to a lot of people. Right now, Democrats have Joe Biden.
16:21
He doesn't have that anymore. At one time he did. He doesn't.
16:25
Kamala Harris has never had it. So we have two candidates on the left
16:30
that just don't have that. Donald Trump has that. JD Vance doesn't have
16:37
it at this point, we haven't seen that yet. He's a rising potential,
16:41
rising star. We're going to see. I know a lot of people
16:44
like him. I'm not discounting him. I'm just pointing out the fact that
16:47
we have one person right now of the four. And you can make your
16:51
case or whatever you want to for RFK Junior, but you know, he
16:55
doesn't have it. We got one candidate that has it. He's well liked.
17:00
The people who like him love him. That's just the reality of it.
17:06
If he was killed on Saturday, we would have had much bigger problems
17:14
than I think we can even comprehend. I do I think we were that
17:18
close to that just you know, half an inch away from that. And
17:25
if you think that the moment where we all thought he'd been shot and killed
17:29
and then realized he's alive and he's well, that didn't change everything. He
17:36
was okay. So instead of focusing on why wasn't security where it should have
17:41
been, Why wasn't there things in place to make sure that Trump couldn't have
17:51
anyone to have the ability to take a shot at him, Why is it
17:56
that the lead question? Why are we worried about his ear? Who is
18:00
sitting back and questioning the ear? Who is really has an issue with him
18:06
wearing a bandage? The bandage bothers them to the point that they have to
18:10
talk about it. They have to discuss it and talk about the bandage.
18:12
They have to be obsessed with the bandage. You don't hear me use the
18:18
words trumped arrangement syndrome very much, but that's what that is when you're criticizing
18:25
the bandage that he's wearing. And I saw there's a couple of people shared
18:27
this meme that's going around and it's like that bandage is unnecessary, and that's
18:32
coming from people who wore masks for two years some of them are still wearing
18:37
the masks. But our priorities are so out of whack for some of us.
18:45
Some of us are focusing on the right thing. We do need answers
18:49
to questions, and you don't have to immediately jump to conspiracy. You don't
18:55
have to jump to that. The left did. Some did, some I
18:57
guess, are still harping on it if that's what they think. If they
19:00
think the ear wasn't really injured or not really injured as badly as it's an
19:06
ear shot, can't be good. Can't be good. I don't know how
19:11
long did Vander Holyfield wear his bandage on his ear. I don't remember how
19:14
long ago that was and how long he was wearing it. It was a
19:18
while back. I mean, I remember when it happened. I was watching
19:21
it. I just don't remember. I can kind of date it, I
19:25
guess, but I have to go back and look and see how long he
19:27
wore a bandage on that ear. People want to see it. They feel
19:32
like they're entitled to see it. They don't want to see Biden get a
19:36
cognition test. He's got COVID. By the way, that was a news
19:42
broke yesterday that he's got Biden's got COVID. And you know after the debate
19:51
when they said he had a cold, he was out shaking hands and talking
19:55
to people. So I do wonder if this COVID died. Diagnosis by the
20:00
way, is going to force him back into the basement and can't have him
20:03
mountain public again. They seem so obsessed with him and saying he's the only
20:08
one who can beat Trump because he's done it before. They're not following the
20:11
strategy they got to hide him, but they don't have the cover of COVID
20:17
to hide him with anyway. They don't want Biden to take cognition tests,
20:22
they're not calling for that. They're calling for medical records for Trump. They're
20:26
not even calling for Biden's medical records. They're calling for Trump's medical records for
20:33
his ear. That's the bigger priority than Why did at the top level that
20:40
Secret Service and the FBI fail? Why is this a priority? I just
20:47
don't understand. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space
20:52
Science Center, Inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career
21:00
holders that really of all ages, I mean they do it for school age
21:04
kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they
21:08
also do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy,
21:15
physics, and the careers in space and stem fields are booming right now,
21:21
and you can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot
21:27
org. While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming programs.
21:33
They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School of Music from
21:38
Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that
21:45
you can get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when you're watching
21:48
it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus,
21:52
Georgia. I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens right here
21:57
in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new
22:03
season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows and
22:08
also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can get
22:12
outside, sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you
22:17
get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
22:21
and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also on their
22:26
website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie
22:32

Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of
22:42
Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe
22:48
you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
22:53
on anything that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead
22:59
Doors or Company of Columbus can take care of square in that away for you,
23:03
and while they're there, you can always ask them questions about some of
23:07
the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
23:11
curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and you need some repair
23:15
work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door
23:18
completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
23:23
Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got. With colder or warmer
23:27
weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at
23:33
a situation where you'd like to add a screen door to your garage door system
23:37
that you can put down and you can use your garage space as a sort
23:41
of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to work on your
23:45
own cars in there, or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
23:48
like to be able to open the door up and not invite all the insects
23:51
in. They can do that for you as well, and again they do
23:55
after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
23:59
inside your garathar and your garage door won't open and you need somebody to come
24:03
help, and they do those as well. Seven six thy five eight forty

a cave on the Moon and say that there may be hundreds more just like
24:32
it. The original cave scientists discovered is not far away from where Neil Armstrong
24:37
and buzz Aldron landed fifty five years ago, which is a huge breakthrough for
24:41
space agencies around the world because we're hoping at some point there will be people
24:51
spending long term missions on the Moon and that could be used for housing,
24:57
could be used for storage, could be used for keeping things you know,
25:02
they need to do all those things. It's pretty fascinating. It's really we'll
25:06
probably talk about that on Made of Stars, my regular Thursday podcast that I
25:11
do with Doctor Sean Cruising, and maybe we'll just talk about that very thing
25:17
on today's show coming up. We usually get them out by noon most week,
25:22
somewhere around there, and we're getting ready. Next week we're going to
25:25
be down at Kennedy Space Center checking out the arrival of the Artemis Moon Rocket.
25:30
So get ready for more talk about that next week. Okay. Also,
25:37
I want to talk about they say that employers are going a little more
25:48
casual in the workplace because, according to a new survey, business experts urging
25:56
that people like casual and it's causing business experts to urge companies to keep it
26:00
in mind when they're recruiting new employees because strict dress codes not really tolerated and
26:07
they just want things to be more relaxed at work. So if you're looking
26:11
to recruit new people for your company, maybe get the word out you've got
26:18
to relax dress code. So some are the season of flings, and according
26:26
to a new survey, lots of people want to have one, even if
26:29
they're not single. Forty one percent of those that responded to the survey said
26:32
they wanted a casual summer hookup, even if that meant cheating on their partner.
26:37
Despite ninety five percent of the respondents and relationships saying that they're planning to
26:41
stay with their current partner this summer, twenty six percent are also interested in
26:47
taking a little break for a summer fling. Another twenty six percent said they
26:51
would try to have a fling with someone while on vacation, including seventeen percent
26:57
of those who are currently in a relationship. And it seems what happens on
27:03
vacation stays on vacation. Thirty seven percent of respondent said that vacation relationship should
27:07
stay as one night stands or only last during the trip. Twenty three percent
27:11
think that romance should continue after the vacation is over, and the survey also
27:18
found that fifty two percent said that the best relations that they ever had was
27:23
on vacation. A lot to digest there. Basically, societally were really messed
27:30
up. I mean, I think that's basically what the message is. It's
27:33
coming through loud and clear. People think it's okay to cheat on vacation.
27:38
They're looking forward to cheating on vacation. Is that Ashley Madison site still up?
27:44
Was that what it was called? I saw? I was watching that
27:48
as part of that documentary, and then I was like, Okay, I
27:49
just feel dirty even watching this, but listening to people talk about, yeah,
27:53
I just did a cheat on my wife and I got caught. Yeah
27:57
it happened sometime. Sometimes that's what happens. They say. Forget going to
28:03
Google for doctor advice. Gen Z says their source for health advice is TikTok
28:11
Oh. That's reassuring, that tells us that everything's going to be all right.
28:15
A new survey by zing Coach found that fifty six percent what is zin
28:21
Coach found fifty six percent of gen Z respondents maybe that's what the Z stands
28:26
for, say that they use TikTok for health, diet, and exercise advice.
28:30
Thirty four percent use the platform as their main form of health advice,
28:33
more than double that of other sources. According to the gen zers that were
28:38
surveyed, fourteen percent said they got their health advice from friends, thirteen percent
28:45
said Google, and eleven percent said doctors or professional fitness trainers. That just
28:49
seems kind of really out of whack, doesn't it. That's kind of indicative
28:55
of where we are though, isn't it. People don't want to necessarily go
28:57
to the doctor and get advice from a professional who studied. They want to
29:03
just get it from the easiest place possible. I guess I don't know.
29:07
I don't know what's going on there. So that'll do it for this Thursday
29:10
