  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Thursday morning, eighteenth day of December. I'm West Thanks for
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: joining me. Week to Christmas. That's where we're at, the
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: eighteenth plus seven. I'm not a mathologist, but I'm telling
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: you we were a week from Christmas, so we're down
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: to the wire. Actually got out, did a little shopping
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: yesterday evening. Nothing put me in the stores for too long,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: but a few places that I needed to go to.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: One store in particular, the line was nuts and the
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: other two not so bad. That was for you know,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: eight days to Christmas, and you know, for the seventeenth
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: of December. I know that shopping online has caused things
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: to change a little bit as far as the shopping
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: goes and the amount of people that are actually out
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: in the stores. I don't know what the statistics are
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: in my community. I don't know how that pans out
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: for those here in the Chattahoochee Valley area. I don't know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: but I know that we are going to have a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: busy weekend ahead. Brace yourselves if you have to get
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: out and shop in that and then you know, there'll
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: be some travel for some folks coming into town, some
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: folks leaving town. Again, don't know what the numbers are
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and percentages either way. But we're in that phase now
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: where if you're ordering it, you should do it soon
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and hope that they have quick shipping and you should
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: be prepared for, you know, getting out into the mess.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: That's where you are. We're in that phase of it now.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Some of the places is that you're going to order
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and ship, Yeah, you got no problems. Some of the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: places it's going to be a little more complicated. In
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: some cases you may have to do the old here's
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: a photo of what is coming. That is a very
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: acceptable thing to do in most circumstances. I wouldn't try
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: it with the kids. I wouldn't try it for certain
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: specific gifts for the kids. But for you know, most people,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: you could say, hey, this is what's coming, trust me,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: it's going to be great when it gets here. But
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: then you actually have to give it to them. Can't
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: get away with doing that and then never giving them
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: the gift, right, That's not okay, that's not acceptable. So
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: just a heads up on that. So a few things
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about this morning. First up, I
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: ran into a friend recently a while out shopping. This
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: was grocery shopping, though, and I say grocery shopping. He
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: was buying a lot of beer. That's not really groceries.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: But he gave me a reason that he was buying
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: so much beer. I said, I don't care. I don't care.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: It's okay with me. There's no judgment coming for me
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: while you're buying so much beer. Some sort of a
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: party or gathering of some sort, he said, But that's
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: fine by me. It's none of my business at all.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: If anyone knows me, if anyone listens to this show,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I am not someone who believes I should be in
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: anyone else's business. You go be you, I'll be me.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: It's okay now. Now, don't get me wrong. It wasn't
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: so much beer that I would be concerned for him.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: He looked like what he was saying is he was
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: getting ready for some sort of party or gathering. So
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you know, everything checked, not that I was paying attention.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I did not even pay attention to how much beer
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: he was buying until he pointed it out. But he
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: and I had a quick conversation kind of on the fly,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: and we were talking a little bit about the mayoral
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: race here in our hometown, Columbus, and I know if
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: you're outside of Columbus, you're listening anywhere around the country. Look,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: some of this may be relevant and just in a
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: broad sense, but you know, I'm not going to get
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: deep into the weeds on Columbus Georgia politics. That's what
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. But the little bit to point out is
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: that we've got several candidates now that have announced that
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: they're running for mayor. One of them is our former
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: city manager who was terminated this year from the position
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: by the city council. And there were a number of
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: reasons cited for this termination. This is someone who was
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: in the position working for the city in some capacity,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I think for over forty years, long tenured time doing it.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: There were rumors that he was supposedly overheard saying that,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: you know, in groups of like in commune cities with
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: mostly black citizens, that soon will have an all black
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: city council of black mayor and Columbus, he himself being black,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: so it was assumed that he was talking about himself.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: And you know, that's one of those things that you
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: hate when anything becomes straight up identity politics. That way,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: we can't pretend that that's not out there. If this
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: rumor is true, many say that it is. It's certainly
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: disappointing in twenty twenty five, that's where we are. But
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: it's not shocking. There's nothing shocking about it. There's nothing,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: you know, that's going to make you really say, oh
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: my gosh, I can't believe this was said. It's par
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: for the course in a lot of ways. Just this
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: it's just sort of a reflection of where we are.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately in some communities, in some areas, there's a big
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: movement around Columbus. You may have seen signs, billboards and
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: this former city manager's named Isaiah Hugley, billboards and campaigns
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: of anyone but Isaiah Hugley. There are a lot of
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: people in Columbus who feel that way. After he was
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: terminated and given basically he was going to be retiring
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: at the end of this year anyway, Apparently part of
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the condition of his termination was they were going to
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: pay him through the end of the year, and I
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: guess he then filed a lawsuit saying that it was
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: a racial discrimination thing why he was terminated. I can't
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: jump into that, you know, I can't say one way
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: or the other. All I'll point out is that he
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: had a job in some capacity and most of a
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: good chunk of that at least as city manager for
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: a very long time in Columbus, and it didn't seem
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: to be like when you're working somewhere for like forty years,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: you've been in a role through some things, Okay, And
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I'll just point out this in general, as people like
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: to talk about where we are in race relations in
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: America right now, and you know the fact that there
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: are people who believe that it's worse now than it's
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: ever been. The ridiculousness of that. Obviously they're not really thinking,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: you know, back to I don't know the seventeen and
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: eighteen hundreds, that they're not really diving into this. But
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: if you're saying it's worse than it's been, you know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: since the sixties, then my first thought would be maybe
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: you've been voting for the wrong people. Like if you
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: think that we're getting worse and you have an allegiance
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: and a loyalty to a party who hasn't made it
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: better for you, and that keeps telling you that it's
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: worse then, you know, maybe start looking a different way.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: That's that's my first thought just in general. But as
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: far as this may oral race, you know a lot
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: of people thought, well, when he jumps in, that's where
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: it's going to interesting. And he did finally announce that
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: he was running for mayor. We have another candidate, and
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: there's several people running, but there's another candidate that I'm
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: just going to mention here that is was is a
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: member of city council who announced that she was running.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: And she is the one who got out out in
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: front right away with signage around town. I mean right now,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: she probably, in my experience in my travel, you know,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: twenty to one on signs for everybody else. So I
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: just mentioned to this friend that, you know, she's she
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: got an early start on that, and he had an
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: interesting observation on this that I thought was worth sharing.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I do agree that with his with his sentiments. As
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: far as the concerns that may come along for this
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: particular woman, her name Joanne Cole, she is you know,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: certainly as as strong a candidate as anyone as far
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: as to me with her you know, track record as
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: a member of city council and things, and she's you know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: pretty active in the community. But one of the things
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: that is important in these elections. And we just witnessed
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: this in uh in New York, and my friend is
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the one who brought brought New York up. But we've
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: seen it and and I'll go even deeper into this.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: You know, we we saw the Barack Obama election, we
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: saw the Trump elections. All of that applies in this case.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: But charisma is important, and your ability to connect with
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: a crowd is important. Sometimes on paper, you look like
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the right candidate, you look like the right person for
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: the job. But if you're not really connecting with the
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: community and you don't have that sizzle, if you will,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: maybe along road ahead for you. And this particular friend
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: of mine just brought that up about her, that she's
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: not really she doesn't show that side of herself if
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: that's who she is, and maybe that side will emerge
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: once we start getting into the meat of things for
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: this election. So it's hard, it would be hard to
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: try to disagree with him though, on his sentiment about that,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: because he's right. In many cases, in these elections, it's
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: really just about at least the person that you're able
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: to put out there, and you know, I don't. I
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: haven't seen that side of her. Our kids were in
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: school together at one point and I was around her then.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I think she probably can in a few times when
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: you know, there was a radio show that I was
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: producing at one point as part of one of my
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: old radio gigs, and she came in at some point.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I think on one of those, you know, seem nice
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: didn't have that it factor as far as that charisma thing.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Does that mean that she can't win? Well, of course not,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: that doesn't mean that, But what we have seen, at
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: least in the last several years, is there is an
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: importance to that. And we'll see, We'll see where this
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: plays out. And there's other candidates. I don't want to
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: dismiss the other candidates, but they seem to be the
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: two at least getting the lion's share of the oxygen
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: right now, right they seem to be the ones that
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: are you know, drawing all of that or at least
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: most of that conversation, at least not all of it,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: but still to be determined where all of that is
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: ultimately going to go. A lot of folks, are you know,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: have concerns about someone who was dismissed from the city
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: council that could end up being the mayor, and that
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: would could potentially be some problems. Obviously quickly just a
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: few little odds, and ends here to talk about the
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: fact that one Dan Bongino resigning, apparently from the FBI.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: President Trump says he did a great job, but that
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: he thinks that Bongino wants to get back to his
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: radio show. You miss it, you miss it when you're
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: not doing it. I can tell you that I assume
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: that's probably what's going on there with Dan Bongino, at least,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: if there's not something else behind the scenes that we
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: don't know about. The Republican Healthcare bill was made it
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: through the House, and that was that was close, closer
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: than you might have expected, but it was, you know,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I guess it kind of went straight down party lines,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: but with at least one Republican and of course Massy
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Thomas Massey voting the other way. There was a push,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: an attempt at least to try to make sure to
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: keep some of those subsidies that were put in place
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: temporarily by the way for the Obamacare during COVID, and
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: we ended up in a situation where you know, much
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: like to go back into Columbus Georgia City politics. This
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: whole idea of voting for a splost for every possible
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: thing and keeping them going and adding more of them.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: You can't basically say we're gonna have some of these
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: subsidies in place that are going to help keep the
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: costs down for people. They'll be temporary to get through
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: COVID and then it'll go back up. And now that
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: it's time for it to go back up, there's people saying, well,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: now Republicans are raising the cost of health care according
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: to the experts, and according to Republicans, they say that
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: basically what they've passed would reduce the cost of health
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: care for most Americans by eleven percent. And I guess
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: the Obamacare subsidies are still set to expire, and nothing
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: resolved on that. So a win for Johnson, a win
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: for the Republicans, hopefully a win for you know, the
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: cost of health care. This eleven percent doesn't seem like
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: a lot, but the nine percent inflation that we stayed
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: on for so long during the Biden administration certainly had
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: a long term effect. So we'll have to wait and
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: see how this eleven percent could play out for the
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: rest of us. Today's show brought to you by Columbus

  Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.

  Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
• 15:55

• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: they're there you can always ask them questions about some
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: your garage door, maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: you want it to be, and you need some repair
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: those as well. Seven sixty five eight forty five hundred

  Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the break. So what do you think parents and kids
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: are arguing over the most? Probably not a shock when
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I tell you that it is screen time. According to
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: a new survey, ninety percent of parents fight with kids
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: over how much they are using screens. About half said
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: that the issue issue comes up at least once a week.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: All right, screen time for kids is the argument. Phones
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: at bedtime is another part of it. Too much gaming,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: playing video games, trying to use devices or using devices
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: during family time or meal times inappropriate, conda content on
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: the screens, and then the general use of social media.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: So yeah, fifty six percent of the parents said that
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: kids are spending too much time online. Forty six percent
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: believe that that is having a negative impact on them.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: So are you familiar with something called the chair theory.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: It's a dating concept that has gone viral online. Basically,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: if you're in a situation where there aren't enough chairs
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: and someone doesn't offer you theirs or find you one,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: it is seen as a sign that they don't value you.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: The idea is about small gestures that will help make
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: you feel comfortable that would reflect a bigger truth about
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: care and respect and relationships. So they say it's kind
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: of a quick test for how thoughtful someone might be.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: And they say, don't overthink it though, that it just
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: would be you know, don't put too much emphasis on
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: a one time thing. Look for patterns. But that basically
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: that consistent kindness is better than a one time thing.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: But it's a little bit of a litmus. I suppose
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: as people are, you know, looking for ways to kind
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: of see something positive or negative in other people. But
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I think there's enough negative things to be seen out there.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: So Heineken is warning customers put down their phone, meet
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: face to face. They created a bot that lets What's
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: App users who receive voice notes lasting three minutes more
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: to exchange them for a free beer voucher, along with
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: the recommendation of local bars to stop buy and visit.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: So they're basically saying, you know, get out there and
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: meet people, grab a drink together, and quit just texting.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: You know, it's not a terrible idea, right, It's not awful,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean, there's something for you at the end.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: That's a beer. There's a company in China that is
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: taking robots to a new level with their Mirro U.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: It's a six armed robots. Instead of copying human movement,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: it uses its extra arms to do multiple tasks at once,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: lifting heavy parts, assembling small stuff, rotating three hundred and
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: sixty degrees without needing, you know, a smoke break. The
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: engineers behind the projects say that the people still smoke.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I saw someone the other day smoking, and one of
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: my boys in the course is that person smoking over there?
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Engineers behind the projects say that the mirrou could boost
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: factory production efficiency by about thirty percent. It's just one
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: of the many jobs with six arms. I guess it's
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: taken three jobs, isn't it. Over the past few years,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: sales figures for Harley Davidson motorcycles been declining. Industry insiders
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: say that the typical motorcycle owner is getting older every year,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: and younger generations aren't replacing them at the same rate.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: It's not even close. Apparently gen z and millennials don't
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: have the same connection to motorcycle ownership. And they say
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: that it's not that they don't think that motorcycles are
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: not cool so that they think they're not cool, that
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: they just think that owning one as a priority compared
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: with all of the other stuff competing for their hard
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: earned money and attention. Is you know, it's not going
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: to bypass those things. And I guess that's probably it's
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: fair me, know what you think. I've never been a
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: motorcycle guy. I've never thought, man, I really really need
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: a really need a motorcycle. It's just not been me.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: It's never been me. It's not really my thing. But
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: you know, I get it for the people who are
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: into that, I guess, but it's just never been my thing.
