Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:05
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:08
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, twenty fifth day of September. I'm Wes, thanks
0:12
Speaker 2: for joining me. The Southeast preparing for Helene. Get ready.
0:19
Speaker 2: Lots of rain coming really to a large chunk of
0:24
Speaker 2: the southeast US. As Helene gets ready to work its way,
0:32
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say her, are we supposed to make it
0:35
Speaker 2: gender specific when they get the names? I don't know,
0:38
Speaker 2: but gets ready to make way into the area. And
0:44
Speaker 2: you know, this is not a weather centric show. I
0:48
Speaker 2: say that often, but occasionally it's worth mentioning things like,
0:53
Speaker 2: you know, a weather event of this kind, you know,
0:58
Speaker 2: bearing down on the area. So just you know, this
1:05
Speaker 2: is the day to make your preparations. If you're in
1:08
Speaker 2: one of the areas it's going to be greatly affected.
1:11
Speaker 2: If you're listening somewhere else in the country, you know,
1:14
Speaker 2: say a prayer for the folks that are going to be,
1:16
Speaker 2: especially the Panhandle area of Florida and the folks that'll
1:21
Speaker 2: be dealing with the more severe winds of this particular
1:28
Speaker 2: event that's coming. Right And you know, if you're listening
1:33
Speaker 2: to this in a week, you know, maybe we're talking
1:35
Speaker 2: about the damage. Maybe we're talking about sadly casualties, talking
1:42
Speaker 2: about rebuilding or whatever we're talking about in a week,
1:45
Speaker 2: and that's part of one. We don't do a lot
1:47
Speaker 2: of talk about whether events necessarily, but it's worth noting
1:54
Speaker 2: that if you're listening to this on Wednesday morning, if
1:58
Speaker 2: you're listening to this early Thursday, if you're you know,
2:01
Speaker 2: in that range somewhere in there, to just go ahead
2:05
Speaker 2: and start preparing yourself. If you're listening in point of
2:08
Speaker 2: the areas, it'll be affected and whatever that means for you.
2:11
Speaker 2: It means different things for different people. Folks along the
2:13
Speaker 2: Panhandle or certainly boarding things up and hunkering down. We've
2:19
Speaker 2: got friends and folks that we have worked closely with
2:23
Speaker 2: over the years down there. You hear me often talk
2:26
Speaker 2: about the Holiday Inn Resort, Panama City Beach, and you
2:31
Speaker 2: know exactly what impact everybody is going to be dealing with,
2:35
Speaker 2: We don't know, but you know, like I said, if
2:38
Speaker 2: you're not in the area, say a prayer for the
2:39
Speaker 2: folks that are. If you are in the area, just
2:44
Speaker 2: do whatever precautions you got to take. Whatever that means,
2:47
Speaker 2: you know, whatever it is that gets you ready for
2:50
Speaker 2: what's coming to you, And if that means charging something
2:53
Speaker 2: as simple as just charging your phones. If you got
2:56
Speaker 2: one of those backup phone chargers that you carry with
2:59
Speaker 2: you when you go to events and or travel and
3:01
Speaker 2: you think, man, I'm gonna need a little extra battery,
3:04
Speaker 2: go ahead and charge those up. Have those ready to go,
3:06
Speaker 2: because you don't know, maybe you lose power, maybe you
3:08
Speaker 2: don't who knows what we're all in store for. So
3:12
Speaker 2: just take the precautions that you can. And you know,
3:15
Speaker 2: maybe that trip to the grocery store good luck, because
3:18
Speaker 2: this is when people start buying bread and milk and whatever.
3:20
Speaker 2: But you know, just make sure you got something that
3:23
Speaker 2: maybe you can eat without having to have power, just
3:26
Speaker 2: in case. Just be ready for those kinds of things.
3:28
Speaker 2: Good to get those sandwich supplies, buy the bread, buy
3:33
Speaker 2: the peanut butter, by the jelly, whatever, and just be
3:35
Speaker 2: ready to go the spam, you know, whatever it is
3:39
Speaker 2: that you need to get ready. So prepare yourself. So
3:43
Speaker 2: I want to talk this morning a little bit about
3:45
Speaker 2: this bread Farv thing, and obviously Brett Farv speaking, I
3:53
Speaker 2: don't want to go too much specifically into the bread
3:58
Speaker 2: Farv case. We know that Brett Farv, you know, had
4:02
Speaker 2: some some troubles. He spoke at Congress yesterday about reform
4:09
Speaker 2: for TAMPH. It's always tricky to say, isn't is that
4:13
Speaker 2: how they say it TAMPH. It's just it just doesn't
4:17
Speaker 2: come out of my mouth properly, you know, it just
4:19
Speaker 2: doesn't flow the way that it should. But he spoke,
4:23
Speaker 2: and he he talked about his family, He talked about God,
4:27
Speaker 2: he talked about folks that supported him through his Parkinson's
4:33
Speaker 2: disease diagnosis. He has gone on to say and and
4:37
Speaker 2: part of this TAMPH reform that he was speaking about,
4:43
Speaker 2: and basically saying that there needs to be some sort
4:46
Speaker 2: of reform to it to make sure that, you know,
4:51
Speaker 2: people aren't going to abuse it. So and he himself,
4:57
Speaker 2: he says that you know, the SCA handle that he
5:00
Speaker 2: was involved in, you know, wrapped up, and he says
5:06
Speaker 2: he's not facing criminal charges. He repaid more than a
5:08
Speaker 2: million dollars in speaking fees that were given to him
5:13
Speaker 2: by a welfare program in the state, insisting that you know,
5:18
Speaker 2: he didn't know where the money was coming from. But
5:21
Speaker 2: the TAMPH Temporary Assistance for Needy Families is the name
5:25
Speaker 2: of the program. That's what tamph stands for. But what's
5:30
Speaker 2: interesting is when he talks about his recent Parkinson's diagnosis.
5:35
Speaker 2: And this is where I think something that has come
5:40
Speaker 2: up here now I guess this season and just I
5:43
Speaker 2: want to quickly just touch on it. Far of at
5:47
Speaker 2: one point in his career said that maybe over the
5:49
Speaker 2: course of his you know, Hall of Fame career, that
5:52
Speaker 2: he had three maybe three concussions his final play I
5:57
Speaker 2: guess in the NFL he had a head injury on
6:01
Speaker 2: the final play. He has now since modified that number,
6:06
Speaker 2: and he says that he had hundreds of concussions while
6:09
Speaker 2: he played, and he said maybe a thousand. I think
6:12
Speaker 2: his exact quote was maybe thousands, but I think what
6:15
Speaker 2: he meant was hundreds, maybe as many as a thousand.
6:17
Speaker 2: I don't want to put words in his mouth, but
6:19
Speaker 2: kind of felt like that's what he was saying, because
6:21
Speaker 2: I don't know that he was really saying that he had,
6:23
Speaker 2: you know, two plus thousand concussions while he was playing,
6:27
Speaker 2: because that's impressive numbers. I mean, that's that's Troy Aikman numbers, right,
6:32
Speaker 2: because Eikman had a lot of them and he didn't
6:35
Speaker 2: have two thousand. So far have talked about Parkinson's and
6:40
Speaker 2: he talked about his concussions, and he talked about you know,
6:45
Speaker 2: this basically this forum that he was given this opportunity.
6:50
Speaker 2: He was given to a platform to talk about tamp reform,
6:55
Speaker 2: but I wanted to talk. It's interesting because when you
6:58
Speaker 2: have someone who says I've had you know, hundreds, maybe
7:02
Speaker 2: a thousand concussions, I think it draws a little bit
7:06
Speaker 2: more attention. And I know this has been a gradual
7:09
Speaker 2: progression of things. The movie Concussion with Will Smith came out.
7:14
Speaker 2: There's been you know, obviously some pretty severe injuries. What's
7:18
Speaker 2: going on with Tua this season? As Tua Tongue of
7:21
Speaker 2: Aloa now has had another concussion on the field. Every
7:26
Speaker 2: time he has one, he has that rigamortis hands or
7:30
Speaker 2: whatever they call it's one of the slaying terms for it,
7:32
Speaker 2: where his hands actually just kind of draw up into
7:36
Speaker 2: fists while he's lying there or trying to stand up
7:39
Speaker 2: or get up. So and I have speculated for a
7:45
Speaker 2: while now that we may be looking at some sort
7:49
Speaker 2: of change soon in the NFL. I don't think it's
7:54
Speaker 2: necessarily coming fast, but it feels like we're gradually working
8:01
Speaker 2: our way towards losing the game of tackle football as
8:07
Speaker 2: we know. It just feels like we're headed that way.
8:12
Speaker 2: It definitely felt that way with college players before they
8:15
Speaker 2: started to get paid to play football. Right, you start thinking,
8:20
Speaker 2: these guys putting their lives on the line, their futures,
8:24
Speaker 2: their families, their memories, their cognition, all those things on
8:28
Speaker 2: the line as they go out and they play this sport,
8:31
Speaker 2: this very aggressive, very physically brutal sport of football, slamming
8:38
Speaker 2: their heads into one another. They put in rules that say, ah,
8:41
Speaker 2: you can't hit somebody this way. You might hurt them,
8:43
Speaker 2: so you got to do it, and they take away
8:44
Speaker 2: a lot of the things that trying to prevent injury,
8:48
Speaker 2: and any of the injuries are obviously bad, but the
8:50
Speaker 2: head injuries are the ones that have led to much
8:54
Speaker 2: bigger And it's not just football. Professional wrestling deals with this.
8:58
Speaker 2: There's a number of of a hockey, a lot of
9:02
Speaker 2: sports that deal with the idea of soccer concussions from soccer.
9:07
Speaker 2: I'm certain that I had a few playing soccer over
9:10
Speaker 2: the years. I had one playing pee wee football. I
9:12
Speaker 2: remember I remember my dad saying, oh, you just got
9:16
Speaker 2: your bell wrong, and then later he told me. Yeah,
9:19
Speaker 2: I was really scared when that happened. It was more
9:22
Speaker 2: than a bell ringing. I know that there were times,
9:26
Speaker 2: you know, making place for ball and balls in soccer,
9:29
Speaker 2: you know, jumping up for headers and things. I mean sometimes,
9:33
Speaker 2: and I scored a lot of goals in my time
9:35
Speaker 2: playing soccer with my head, A lot of goals with
9:37
Speaker 2: my head, probably because I've got a large head. I'm
9:41
Speaker 2: guessing the ball is just attracted to it, but it
9:44
Speaker 2: is something about gravitational pull. I don't know, but just
9:49
Speaker 2: a lot of times you jump up, you hit the
9:51
Speaker 2: ball with your head. Sometimes it feels amazing, you hit
9:54
Speaker 2: it exactly the way you want to, The ball goes
9:56
Speaker 2: where you want it to, you score yay. Sometimes you
9:59
Speaker 2: go up and it just doesn't hit where you wanted
10:01
Speaker 2: it to. You're a little off and you could feel
10:04
Speaker 2: it for a little while. How many of those were
10:07
Speaker 2: actual concussions, I don't know, you know, I feel safe
10:12
Speaker 2: to say that some of them probably were. But we're
10:15
Speaker 2: not really talking about I mean, we could do a
10:18
Speaker 2: whole show on the times that I got hit in
10:20
Speaker 2: the head playing soccer, but that's not really the intention.
10:22
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the Guardian Caps is what
10:24
Speaker 2: I want to talk about, because now the NFL is
10:28
Speaker 2: allowing those guardian caps where you can actually, you know,
10:31
Speaker 2: put those things on. I guess is college allowing the
10:34
Speaker 2: guardian caps as well? I think they are. But this
10:38
Speaker 2: whole idea that you can wear these things they absorb
10:44
Speaker 2: They say at least ten percent of I don't see
10:48
Speaker 2: where it says about college, but it does say in oh,
10:52
Speaker 2: some high schools are doing it. I would imagine in
10:55
Speaker 2: college if they're asking to do it. I want to
10:58
Speaker 2: get an answer on this before I say for sure.
11:01
Speaker 2: So they're wearing the soft show helmets, the guardian caps,
11:04
Speaker 2: and it's designed to take a significant portion of the
11:08
Speaker 2: blow away from the from the contact and there that's
11:15
Speaker 2: the intention for it, and that's the goal while they're
11:20
Speaker 2: wearing them, is so that it does not it causes
11:25
Speaker 2: a little bit less likelihood of there being a severe injury. Right,
11:29
Speaker 2: that's the that's the intention for it. And you know,
11:33
Speaker 2: I've seen we've seen a few of them that they
11:35
Speaker 2: are they're playing with them. Yes, College is using them. Okay, Okay,
11:42
Speaker 2: So I guess they're saying there's a list of teams
11:45
Speaker 2: here that may have had players using them. This season, okay,
11:48
Speaker 2: And they look basically like the helmet. It's just a
11:51
Speaker 2: slip on thing that goes over the top of them.
11:53
Speaker 2: I thought i'd seen some, but I wanted to confirm
11:55
Speaker 2: that they were so. But I've seen commentators critical talking
12:03
Speaker 2: about them, how they look silly, or how I wouldn't
12:06
Speaker 2: have worn them when I played. It's not necessary. The
12:11
Speaker 2: comment isn't necessary. You want to tell us that you're
12:14
Speaker 2: tougher than the guys that are wearing them now and
12:16
Speaker 2: playing with them. You know, I don't know that you
12:19
Speaker 2: can sit here and say that Brett Farv's Parkinson's was
12:23
Speaker 2: caused by the concussions, but it's certainly worth noting that
12:27
Speaker 2: it could be the cause, or at least part of
12:30
Speaker 2: the cause for his Parkinson's diagnosis. And you think about
12:35
Speaker 2: the players who have had long term effects because of concussions.
12:41
Speaker 2: You wonder about what Tua's long term diagnosis will be.
12:45
Speaker 2: I think about guys like Junior Seau who are no
12:47
Speaker 2: longer with us because of concussions, and I don't know
12:53
Speaker 2: what the long term damage is for someone like Troy Aikman.
12:55
Speaker 2: Obviously he's having a career after football that's still in football.
12:59
Speaker 2: As a comment. But I don't know what's going on
13:02
Speaker 2: in his personal life as it relates to those injuries.
13:06
Speaker 2: And for these commentators to mock the players that wear them,
13:10
Speaker 2: suggesting somehow they're more masculine than them, or they're tougher
13:13
Speaker 2: than them, I'll just say this to any of the
13:16
Speaker 2: commentators who want to, you know, get on there and
13:18
Speaker 2: say I wouldn't wear them. You know, do what you
13:20
Speaker 2: got to do, but I wouldn't do it. You're not
13:23
Speaker 2: Ronnie Lott. You know, Ronnie Lott maybe the baddest dude
13:28
Speaker 2: to ever play the game. You know, he'd play and
13:30
Speaker 2: lose piece of his finger and tell somebody to stick
13:33
Speaker 2: it on ice finish the game. You know, he's got
13:35
Speaker 2: those kind of stories. You're not Ronnie Lott. You're not
13:39
Speaker 2: going to be Ronnie Lott. You're never going to be
13:41
Speaker 2: Dick Budkis. You're never gonna be one of those old
13:43
Speaker 2: school guys, anybody from the old Steel Curtain defense, anybody
13:47
Speaker 2: from the old Cowboys defenses. You're not Ed Jones, all right,
13:51
Speaker 2: You're not mean Joe Green, that's not your But you're
13:56
Speaker 2: not Ronnie Lott. You're not Lawrence Taylor. You're not any
13:59
Speaker 2: of those guys. You're someone who's played in more recent
14:03
Speaker 2: years with rules in place to help protect you. So
14:07
Speaker 2: if someone wants to wear this cushion cap on their
14:10
Speaker 2: helmet and decrease their odds of having a life changing
14:14
Speaker 2: or possibly life ending concussion, or you know, maybe one
14:20
Speaker 2: less concussion, maybe ten less concussions, whatever it is, what's
14:25
Speaker 2: the need and stress? I wouldn't wear it. I wouldn't
14:28
Speaker 2: have done it. Do what you gotta do, but I
14:31
Speaker 2: wouldn't have done it. Okay, all right, fine, good for you.
14:37
Speaker 2: Get yourself a cookie. You're a real man's man for
14:42
Speaker 2: admitting that you wouldn't do it. You're just tougher than
14:45
Speaker 2: everybody else because you wouldn't do it. Congratulations. You know what, though,
14:51
Speaker 2: you're still not Ronnie Lott. And I'll just say this,
14:54
Speaker 2: not only does it maybe give these guys a better
14:56
Speaker 2: opportunity at having a life after football, maybe it helps
14:59
Speaker 2: preserve the game of football a little bit longer that
15:02
Speaker 2: we're not watching the NFL turn into flag football. And
15:05
Speaker 2: there's nothing against flag football. I think it's amazing what
15:08
Speaker 2: flag football is becoming now as we're starting to see
15:11
Speaker 2: it grow as a sport, growing as a girls or
15:15
Speaker 2: women's sport, and eventually, I'm assuming the goal long term
15:19
Speaker 2: is to grow those players into professionals, but that's its
15:23
Speaker 2: own sport. Do we want to see the NFL regress
15:27
Speaker 2: to the point that it's flag football? And I don't
15:31
Speaker 2: mean it as an insult, I just mean to go
15:34
Speaker 2: from being this very physical game to a non physical game.
15:40
Speaker 2: Would it be the best for their help? Would it
15:42
Speaker 2: be best for them long term? Maybe? And if that's
15:45
Speaker 2: what it becomes, if you get these commentators that go, well,
15:48
Speaker 2: they're playing flag football, but I wouldn't have done it.
15:52
Speaker 2: You probably would have if that was the option for you,
15:54
Speaker 2: if that was what was available for you. And I'm
15:57
Speaker 2: not knocking flag football. I think it's amazing the growth
16:00
Speaker 2: that has happened in flag football for to eventually become
16:04
Speaker 2: a professional sport. That's the path it's on, that's the trajectory,
16:08
Speaker 2: that's where it's headed. So maybe we get to preserve
16:12
Speaker 2: tackle football for what it is a little bit longer,
16:15
Speaker 2: if these guys get fewer injuries, and if this cap
16:18
Speaker 2: means that, maybe we can enjoy tackle football just a
16:22
Speaker 2: little bit more. Today show brought to you by Columbus

18:19
Speaker 2: your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have

18:47
Speaker 2: what you want it to be and you need some
18:49
Speaker 2: repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need
18:52
Speaker 2: a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a
18:55
Speaker 2: noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's

Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
19:18
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
19:20
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
19:23
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
19:24
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
19:27
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
19:31
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
19:33
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
19:36
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, And they do
19:39
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty

Speaker 2: hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show
19:50
Speaker 2: right after the break. So imagine you are a professional
20:02
Speaker 2: athlete and you have your rookie season as a professional athlete,
20:11
Speaker 2: and your rookie card is sold in an auction and
20:18
Speaker 2: it earns a record setting eighty four thousand dollars. And
20:26
Speaker 2: this just goes along with some of your other records
20:29
Speaker 2: that you've accomplished rookie assists, three pointers, and others. And
20:33
Speaker 2: now you add this to the collection. So for women's basketball,
20:37
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark's rookie card setting the new record, holding now
20:41
Speaker 2: the new record eighty four thousand dollars for the sale
20:45
Speaker 2: of this card. So imagine that and then factor in
20:49
Speaker 2: that your WNBA salary is seventy six thousand dollars. This
20:55
Speaker 2: is kind of an interesting twist on the story. I'm
20:58
Speaker 2: not going to do anything other than just point out,
21:00
Speaker 2: I know she's got some endorsements, she makes more money
21:03
Speaker 2: than that. She's obviously a very much in adrenaline shot
21:07
Speaker 2: to the heart to the WNBA with they're actually getting
21:11
Speaker 2: more numbers. So if the ratings are there, if the
21:15
Speaker 2: ticket sales happen, the salaries will increase. That's just the
21:20
Speaker 2: way it works, and that's been the reason why the salary.
21:22
Speaker 2: But it's just an interesting story there when you point
21:24
Speaker 2: out that her salary is seventy six thousand and the
21:30
Speaker 2: rookie card selling for eighty four thousand. Now, if she's
21:33
Speaker 2: playing a game that she loves in the league she
21:35
Speaker 2: wants to be in. Now, granted, I understand she's not
21:39
Speaker 2: making NBA money, but she is getting paid seventy six
21:44
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year to do what she loves. So,
21:47
Speaker 2: I mean there's that you have to have a little
21:48
Speaker 2: perspective on it. And I know that the people who say, well,
21:51
Speaker 2: she should make the same as but you know, just
21:54
Speaker 2: putting perspective on it. Speaking of salaries, what's the biggest
21:58
Speaker 2: gripe about your job? If you said money, then you're
22:01
Speaker 2: not alone. New survey asking human resource professionals to name
22:04
Speaker 2: the biggest frustrations and challenges facing the workforce every day,
22:09
Speaker 2: at least in these times, dissatisfaction with lack of appreciation
22:14
Speaker 2: poor work life balance were among the top complaints. Salary appreciation,
22:21
Speaker 2: work life balance then followed by lack of career advancement opportunities,
22:25
Speaker 2: dissatisfaction with benefits, lack of support from leaders, low morale,
22:29
Speaker 2: dissatisfaction with paid time off. I think that kind of
22:33
Speaker 2: ties back into that work life balance I guess lack
22:38
Speaker 2: of support for managers, unrealistic expectations from clients and customers.
22:44
Speaker 2: So you know, with the economy as it is, I
22:48
Speaker 2: think there would be more people dissatisfied with their salary.
22:53
Speaker 2: According to the CDC, adults spend fifty five percent of
22:57
Speaker 2: their day basically sitting around like not moving around, and
23:03
Speaker 2: they say all that sitting can lead to diabetes, poor
23:05
Speaker 2: heart health, obesity, cancer, joint pain, premature death. That should
23:10
Speaker 2: be number one. Start the list with premature death. This
23:14
Speaker 2: according to Yale Medicine. Obviously, moving more during the day
23:18
Speaker 2: is necessary to combat that, but according to a new study,
23:23
Speaker 2: so is drinking coffee. Study found that people who drink
23:27
Speaker 2: coffee while sitting for long periods are one point five
23:30
Speaker 2: eight times less likely to die from all causes, including
23:34
Speaker 2: heart disease, compared to those who don't drink coffee. According
23:39
Speaker 2: to John's Hopkins University School of Medicine, drinking coffee and
23:43
Speaker 2: moderation can lower your risk of type two diabetes, heart failure,
23:46
Speaker 2: and stroke. It also helps protect your liver and reduces
23:49
Speaker 2: the chances of developing certain cancers and Parkinson's disease. This
23:53
Speaker 2: is because coffee is packed with antioxidants and other active
23:58
Speaker 2: substances almost addictive. It does have addictive substances, and it's
24:02
Speaker 2: called caffeine that may reduce internal inflammation and protect against
24:07
Speaker 2: various diseases. I'm not saying just drink coffee and don't
24:12
Speaker 2: get up and walk around. Your best case scenario that
24:15
Speaker 2: you would do a little bit of both, right, But
24:18
Speaker 2: if your job doesn't allow you to stand up and
24:20
Speaker 2: move around very much, in that case, they're just saying
24:25
Speaker 2: coffee might help you out, and that coffee might be
24:28
Speaker 2: something good to have anyway. Soy sauce a very versatile
24:32
Speaker 2: condiment that can be used in everything from stir fry
24:35
Speaker 2: and salad dressings, marinades, soups. But social media has at
24:41
Speaker 2: least one user on TikTok standing by her rather unusual
24:44
Speaker 2: use for soy sauce. She puts it on ice cream.
24:48
Speaker 2: Claire Dinhutt, who goes by the name condiment Claire on TikTok,
24:53
Speaker 2: explains in a video that she began drizzling soy sauce
24:56
Speaker 2: on little ice cream years ago and loves it. Many
24:58
Speaker 2: followers tried it, and some have expressed support for the
25:01
Speaker 2: odd pairing. Claire adding that she also drizzles a little
25:05
Speaker 2: soy sauce on her pancakes along with maple syrup. All right,
25:08
Speaker 2: a couple of things on this, and not to make
25:10
Speaker 2: it all about me, but I prefer pancakes and waffles
25:14
Speaker 2: without any like just a little butter like I don't
25:16
Speaker 2: do any sort of like. I can eat it with syrup,
25:19
Speaker 2: but I usually don't. Just wasted calories. To me, it's
25:21
Speaker 2: too sweet. I can't eat it just if I'm gonna
25:25
Speaker 2: do it. Sometimes I like to do honey and ice cream,
25:28
Speaker 2: and I know that's taking away from it's too sweet.
25:30
Speaker 2: But if I'm gonna put any kind of condiment on there,
25:33
Speaker 2: that's what I tend to do. But this isn't about me.
25:37
Speaker 2: This is about this woman who puts soy sauce on
25:39
Speaker 2: her ice cream. So my brother likes to put My
25:46
Speaker 2: younger brother, Matt, likes to put pickles or ham or
25:50
Speaker 2: olives in his ice cream. So you know what, I
25:53
Speaker 2: don't think soy sauce in your ice cream is too crazy. Finally,
25:57
Speaker 2: a Volkswagen isn't just something you can put in your garage.
26:00
Speaker 2: It's also something you can put in your fridge. It's
26:04
Speaker 2: Volkswagen ketchup. Carmaker makes a ketchup and I'm gonna say
26:09
Speaker 2: this right. Gur Wuz Ketchup very popular in Germany and
26:13
Speaker 2: it's most commonly used on their famous Curry Worst sausage
26:18
Speaker 2: and is described as a sweeter, richer and a little
26:21
Speaker 2: spicier than ketchup that we're all used to. Volkswagen announced
26:24
Speaker 2: they're ready to share their ketchup in America to celebrate
26:27
Speaker 2: the company's seventy fifth anniversary in America. So for a
26:30
Speaker 2: limited time, Americans will be able to snag a free
26:33
Speaker 2: bottle of ger Wuz Ketchup through its drive Gear Merchandise
