Transcript
- 0:00The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start your day.
- 0:06You're listening to The West Carol Morning Show. Tuesday morning thirty, first
- 0:12day of October. I'm West, Thanks for joining me. Halloween, All
- 0:17hallos eve here we are. Be careful out there, spooky goblins and ghosts
- 0:25and kids and neighborhoods and cars on the side of the road, neighborhoods where
- 0:31they don't live, because there's candies better. There's lots of that, lots
- 0:35of that going on this evening. Just be careful out there if you happen
- 0:39to be listening on Halloween. So yes, and we get ready to transition
- 0:44into November tomorrow. That's slippery slope that slide right on into Thanksgiving and then
- 0:51all of a sudden, it's all about the old jolly fat man. Christmas
- 0:57is coming up fast fast, get ready. We're like two months away from
- 1:03twenty twenty four election year, right. I mean, that's the way to
- 1:07put it in perspective. Make everybody give a collective sigh and groan, an
- 1:11eye roll or whatever. And of course I'm joking about it being all about
- 1:15the jolly fat man. I'm just kidding. Relax, nobody's trying to trying
- 1:22to ruin Christmas. Not trying to do that. Let's jump in. Speaking
- 1:26of ruining things, that's what I want to talk about today. I want
- 1:30to talk today about this South Park special. I'm gonna be blunt about South
- 1:40Park. South Park is not something that I have watched very many times.
- 1:47Okay, I've talked about this before on radio. I've talked about this on
- 1:49this show. I find it just in delivery, in the voices of the
- 2:00characters, in the style of the show. I find it a bit abrasive.
- 2:07Okay, that's the first part of it. However, every single time
- 2:13that I have watched South Park, I have laughed until the point of tears.
- 2:19It's hilarious. I just wish that if we were a handful of people
- 2:25in my life when the show premiered. That really ruined it for me because
- 2:30they were walking around doing the voices, they talked about it non stop,
- 2:34and sometimes for me, I just can't handle that. I hit a tipping
- 2:38point when people are you kill get it and they do all and I just
- 2:44I couldn't handle it. However, as I said, every time I've watched
- 2:50it, I have found it funny. I have found it poignant. I
- 2:53know every episode is probably not, but when they do satire, they do
- 2:58it extremely well, and I know a lot of times that's what they're doing.
- 3:02So now they've done this special and I have not watched it just yet,
- 3:10but I plan to watch it, and I've seen some of it.
- 3:15I'll just say that I've seen enough of it to know that I'm going to
- 3:20watch it. So here's what we have. We have a South Park special
- 3:24that takes Disney on head on, and it's not just Disney, although Disney
- 3:31is certainly bearing the brunt of the attack, and specifically Kathleen Kennedy, who
- 3:38is running things there at Lucasfilm. So the it's so good, it's so
- 3:46layered, and it's so beautiful in so many ways. So it's the title
- 3:52of this special, is south Park joining the pandera Verse? So well,
- 4:00it's been pretty apparent to just about anybody paying any sort of attention to what's
- 4:09been going on in movies for a while now, but especially Disney. I
- 4:13know South Park is going after Disney, but I'm gonna just point out the
- 4:15fact that it's not just Disney that we have had this, and people on
- 4:26the left. Don't like this terminology, but there has been this woke transition
- 4:30in a lot of ways in what's going on with movies, and I you
- 4:32know, the woke thing does get used a lot. So what it comes
- 4:38down to to me is fully understanding and fully realizing that there has been a
- 4:46long tradition in Hollywood and you go back, you think about how long Hollywood's
- 4:51been in operation. Okay, think about how long the motion pictures have been
- 4:56going on. It shouldn't come as a big shot that at one time it
- 5:02was and for a very very long time, the industry was dominated by white
- 5:09people. Okay, that's because it's just that was societally where things were.
- 5:15Okay, we can't really I mean, we can dive in a fifteen to
- 5:21twenty minute segment. We can dive. I don't know that we can deep
- 5:24dive. I don't know that it's necessary for me to explain what was going
- 5:27on in the world prior to the civil rights movement and really for a period
- 5:32of time after that, until we got to a point where yes, there
- 5:36were roles written for different people and different characters. But understanding that there is
- 5:45still a complaint from many groups, they say, well, there's not enough
- 5:48roles being written for people that aren't white, and that when a role comes
- 5:54along for someone that isn't white, there's an xp dit that someone should be
- 6:01cast in that role that isn't white. That to have Ben Kingsley playing Gandhi,
- 6:10for example, or Johnny Depp playing Tonto, and you can say,
- 6:15well, one has Indian heritage, the other has Native American Indian heritage,
- 6:19so it's okay. And there's always these series of sort of excuses, sometimes
- 6:28allowed, sometimes not, and it happens sometimes. But you do have these
- 6:32movies where you have, you know, a Scarlet Johansson cast in a movie
- 6:40and people say, oh my gosh, that should have been an Asian woman.
- 6:43That shouldn't have been her, And that happens sometimes. I mean,
- 6:46it's just the reality that sometimes, you know, Emma Stone gets cast as
- 6:49a Hawaiian girl and people lose their minds. And I can understand if you're
- 6:56an actress who is Hawaiian who wanted to play the role and the role goes
- 7:00to Emma Stone, I would probably get my feelings hurt. It's just a
- 7:05reality of things in the business. I get that. However, when someone
- 7:13comes along and says Brian Cranston, shouldn't play a guy in a wheelchair because
- 7:15he's not really in a wheelchair. Well, he's acting. We have to
- 7:20understand sometimes that there is a line for you know, if you're acting.
- 7:26I've gotten to know many voice actors over the years. I've done a number
- 7:30of interviews with a number of different voice actors, and inevitably, whenever I
- 7:33interview a person of color who's a voice actor, they always say, one
- 7:39of the great things about voice acting is that I can play anyone. I'm
- 7:43not limited to. If I were on camera, it would be difficult for
- 7:46me to play like Wonder Woman or Superman. However, if I'm just voicing
- 7:53the character, it's pretty easy for me to do that. And I applaud
- 7:58that. And at the same time time, for every one of those cases,
- 8:01there's twenty actors who have to apologize because, you know, thirty years
- 8:07ago they voiced an Indian character in a project and they think, oh my
- 8:11gosh, well, back then I was just I was trying to work,
- 8:15and now that Indian character would be cast, you know, by an Indian
- 8:20voice actor, you assume. So there is a little bit of a double
- 8:24standard that's in place that's gone on. Okay, that's but that's complicated.
- 8:30I get that that part of it is complicated. What isn't complicated is the
- 8:37fact that movie studios and an attempt to pander to audiences, they're trying to
- 8:48make changes on stories that already exist. See it's this weird moment in time
- 8:54where things come together. There seems to be an absence of new ideas,
- 9:01while at the same time this desire to cast people that don't fit the old
- 9:07white mold of the roles. And if they're going to remake a story and
- 9:11they want to cast someone who's not white, and it's a character that was
- 9:15written to be white, and then they say, well, wait a minute,
- 9:18we're going to have to make James Bond black, or we're going to
- 9:20have to make snow white hispanic, or whatever it is. We're going to
- 9:24have to make the Danish folklore character Little Mermaid black. Right, And again
- 9:35there's a little bit of that whole the voice actor thing where there is a
- 9:37bit of a double standard. You're not going to remake you know, the
- 9:41Princess and the Frog and cast in live action and put a white woman in
- 9:45the role that's not and that will never happen. Okay, that's not even
- 9:50something that would could be considered. I could be shut down just for saying
- 9:54it out loud. So we're at that juncture. We're at that point for
- 10:01especially for Disney, because that seems to be And then another problem that Disney's
- 10:05running too, and I've talked about this before, they acquire Lucasfilm and they
- 10:13start producing Star Wars sequels, and the idea for them at Disney was,
- 10:22well, we have to make a product that everyone's going to enjoy. We
- 10:26have to make something that you know, all people will enjoy. And what
- 10:33I think that they missed out on is that the original Star Wars trilogy is
- 10:37still beloved by the people who watched it then, men, women, children
- 10:46at the time, now adults. If you were a black kid when the
- 10:52original Star Wars trilogy came out and you liked it, you still like it
- 10:56today. I don't think that there is a need to do anything other than
- 11:03make good Star Wars movies moving forward. I don't think you have to sit
- 11:07here and say we're going to force all of the main characters moving forward into
- 11:13women, like we're going to do that, because that's going to make women
- 11:15like it more. I know lots of women. In fact, I don't
- 11:20know of a single woman that I know that has told me that they like
- 11:22the sequel trilogy better than they like the original movies. And one of the
- 11:28other things. Just for perspective on this happening, because it wasn't just about
- 11:31we're going to create new characters that are women, that we're going to make
- 11:35them the focal point on things. It was about trying to make characters even
- 11:41from the original trilogy. Princess Leiah is certainly a major character in the original
- 11:45trilogy. She wasn't the main character. She wasn't the main focus of the
- 11:50original trilogy. She wasn't I mean, let's be real, she was not
- 11:58the main character, but certainly a major character, certainly important to the story,
- 12:05certainly someone that I would think, you know, I enjoyed Princess Lea
- 12:11as a character, always did. And then we got to a point where
- 12:15in this more recent stories of Princess Leah it seems to be more about her
- 12:20than it was about Luke, who, let's be honest, was the main
- 12:22character. You could say Luke, you could say Vader. Either way,
- 12:26they were the two main characters they were the main focus of the original trilogy.
- 12:31Yes, there were other great characters on solo. Great character, maybe
- 12:35the greatest character, Chewbaca, Lando Calrissian. Great characters, not the main
- 12:45focus, Obi Wan Kenobi Yoda, not the main focus. The main focus
- 12:48where there's his father and this son, and it's a story of redemption and
- 12:54a son who insists that there's still good in his father. That's the story.
- 13:01Vader really the main character of the entire nine movies supposedly should have been.
- 13:07But I digress. Ten if you count Rogue one, which was a
- 13:11good movie. I don't care if you don't like it or not. And
- 13:13I do know some people that don't like it, and I don't understand why.
- 13:16Okay, so let's make it something that women will like. Women like
- 13:20the originals. Just make more good movies. That's all you gotta do.
- 13:24And they're not the only ones that do this. Halloween, slasher movie,
- 13:28perfect movie, horror movie. You don't have to overthink it. Just make
- 13:33another movie like that. There's a guy that wants to kill you. He's
- 13:37outside somewhere, maybe he's inside. I don't know where he is. Ah,
- 13:39there he is. That's the movie you don't have to smash somebody's head.
- 13:43You don't have to see blood and gore and guts and everything. You
- 13:46don't need that. There's a guy outside. He's standing by the clothesline.
- 13:50I look away, I look back. Where did he go? Oh my
- 13:52gosh, where is he? Now that's the movie alien. You're on a
- 13:56ship. There's some sort of an alien be here. Where did it go?
- 14:01I don't know. It's trying to kill us. All yee, what
- 14:03a scenario. Let's get a flamethrower. That's not a bad idea on a
- 14:07spaceship. They overthink it. Now, they're overthinking all of it. And
- 14:15they've been overthinking it with the Star Wars movies, and they've overthought it with
- 14:18a number of things. So here's what you got. You got this South
- 14:20Park special, where in the show, Kathleen Kennedy's character basically admits that it's
- 14:31well, I mean, it's through the context of this running joke that she's
- 14:39had to use this panderstone, which is a take on the Marvel movies.
- 14:46The panderstone that makes movies and they're appealing to everyone. She says it's an
- 14:52ancient piece of artificial intelligence that could be used to make the same movies over
- 14:56and over again while appealing to absolutely everyone. Ultimately, the Stone turns the
- 15:01South Park characters themselves into women of color, which is great, which is
- 15:11just fantastic, And it basically goes into the fact that you know, this
- 15:15is a Disney's lost a whole lot of money because they're trying to make you
- 15:20know, these stories, these classic stories, now remake them and change them
- 15:24up in a way that they think, well, only appeal to different audiences.
- 15:28And we always see these stories. They go viral, and it's like
- 15:31a little kid and they see the Little Mermaid and they say, ah,
- 15:33I'm too, but that I'm crying because the little Mermaid looks like me.
- 15:37You're teaching your kid that it's important that the little Mermaid looks like them when
- 15:43they're two. My kids, you know, they they I can remember at
- 15:50about ten or eleven, maybe the subject came up of Barack Obama. He
- 15:58was looking at pictures of different president and I remember saying, like, he
- 16:02said, he's different than the others in this book, and I said,
- 16:07yeah, what makes him different? He said, he's the only one that's
- 16:08smiling. That's it. That's what he saw is The difference between Barack Obama
- 16:12and the other presidents and these portraits in these books was that Barack Obama was
- 16:17smiling. He didn't see race. And I understand, I understand their differences.
- 16:23I get that as far as my son and other kids. But my
- 16:27point is this emphasis that we have to focus on race about everything is what
- 16:34bubbles up through this. And this is where you get this term woke being
- 16:38injected into all of this. And look is if the story's good, if
- 16:45you're telling a good story, if you're giving me a good character. When
- 16:48Disney first created the character of Ahsoka, and I know I'm diving deep into
- 16:53the nerd law here if you're not a Star Wars fan, but Ahsoka was
- 16:59introduced in the Clone Wars Animated movie, which kicked off the Clone Wars animated
- 17:03series, and she was to be an Anakin Skywalker's student. I didn't say
- 17:08Padawan because I'm trying to make sure you know I'm not too nerdy with this.
- 17:12But it is Halloween, so I can say Padawan. But she was
- 17:15there to learn from him, and she became like she started as this character
- 17:19people hated, and then she grew into this character that people loved, and
- 17:23then now she's had her own series, she's popped up in other shows,
- 17:26she's been cast in live action. Doesn't bother me that we went from a
- 17:33white voice actor to a Puerto Rican actress that's playing her. I don't know
- 17:41Latin actress. I think she's Puerto Rican. That doesn't bother me. It's
- 17:45live action, and a lot of people thought, oh, she'd be a
- 17:47great Rosario Dawson, be a great version of Ahsoka. But some have taken
- 17:52issue with that. Ashley Eckstein, who I have hung out with a couple
- 17:56of times, and her husband David Exstein, by the way, all about
- 18:02some David x Steins, not necessarily for baseball purposes because he was a cardinal,
- 18:07but good guy. Anyway. I love the x Tines, is what
- 18:11I'm saying. So, and it stuck for her that, you know,
- 18:15she wasn't gonna play this character. She voiced it in the animation stuff.
- 18:18So this character becomes huge. And then they do this new series and it's
- 18:22about Ahsoka, and there's two other females that are major characters in the storyline
- 18:27from the animated series called Rebels, and some people said, oh, this
- 18:33is just so we can get a bunch of women main characters in it.
- 18:37There was a pretty significant male character in it, played by Ray Stevenson who
- 18:41passed away after making the show. So some people find but they gave us
- 18:45interesting characters, is my point. This wasn't about pandering. It wasn't about
- 18:49we're gonna make this whole folk. That scene in Avengers Endgame when they have
- 18:53all the women get together and they're gonna fight at one time, that was
- 18:57pandering, and that relates to this whole argument that's raised very brilliantly by the
- 19:03folks at South Park. So they go after Kathleen Kennedy and basically say they
- 19:10accuse her of going to that well too many times, going to the panderstone
- 19:14so many times. Now. Gina Carano, who worked for Disney, was
- 19:18working on The Mandalorian Gina Corana who was fired because she basically shared something on
- 19:27social media comparing criticism against conservatives to the idea, basically saying that nowadays you're
- 19:38almost asked to be outed as a conservative, similarly to the way you were
- 19:42asked to be outed at being Jewish under Nazi Germany. So she was fired
- 19:51from Disney. There were she and basically it was public opinion that went after
- 19:56her, and it was twenty people on Twitter. I guess that got her.
- 20:00But she's really quite enjoyed. She's quite enjoyed the South Park special.
- 20:07She went on to x saying she shared the scene where the Kathleen Kennedy character
- 20:15is. She said, this is the correct question. She says, this
- 20:18is the part where KK demands any YouTubers get censored off YouTube for sharing this
- 20:26and laughing at this hilarious episode. She'll have YouTube disabled the thumbs down button
- 20:30because of the ratio she'll receive, and then she'll have her publicist make sure
- 20:34they anyway, she got a kick out of the clip and oh it's really
- 20:41long. Sorry I was just clicked on the extension of it. But anyway,
- 20:45she goes after it and she says, maybe I want to finish this
- 20:49clip the reading. She says, she'll have her publicist goals make sure Variety
- 20:53and Hollywood Reporter run hit pieces about the South Park creators and their families,
- 20:57smearing their names through every useful idiot she has under her thumb who would sell
- 21:02their soul to work for Lucasfilm. She'll activate her online mob to repeat that
- 21:07the South Park creators are racist, big at transphobes, and demand South Park
- 21:11creators publicly apologize by only using words she approves of, and finally she'll demand
- 21:17they subject themselves to a re education course. I'm glad I finished this of
- 21:22forty five people in the LGBTQ community zoom call to sit there and listen to
- 21:26how badly they got their feelings hurt over a little boop of a South Park
- 21:30episode. But maybe, just maybe the jig is up, Okay, So
- 21:36there's a lot to process in the end of this, And I didn't read
- 21:37all of that until just then, and I really like the last part of
- 21:41it. The boop is a reference to the fact that one of the reasons
- 21:47she was run off of the Mandalorian was when people asked her to put her
- 21:52pronouns on her social media accounts. She denied it it first, and then
- 21:56finally she put beatbop boop. So I love that callback. That's great.
- 22:03And in the reference to the zoom call with something that she was asked to
- 22:07do as part of her apology tour before she was allowed to go back to
- 22:11work, and then finally they actually let her go. The people on Twitter
- 22:15and various other social media platforms had to run off. Anyway, I plan
- 22:22to watch it. The language is really strong in it. By the way,
- 22:25what I've seen of it so far has a lot of f bombs in
- 22:29it. So just a heads up. This is one of their specials.
- 22:30And I don't know if this runs, you know, after ten o'clock.
- 22:33I guess on Comedy Central, So don't expect to see it in the daylight
- 22:37hours necessarily, unless you see it somewhere else. Today's show brought to you
- 22:41by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth
- 22:48and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages. I
- 22:56mean, they do it for school age kids, as school age kids visit
- 23:00at the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through their
- 23:03university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers
- 23:10in space and STEM fields are booming right now, and you can learn more
- 23:15about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
- 23:22also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration
- 23:29that they do with the Schwob School of music from Columbus State University called Music
- 23:33under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
- 23:38It's one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
- 23:41you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
- 23:45this is a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium
- 23:52at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music under the
- 23:56Dome. Check out upcoming eight for the shows, and also check out when
- 24:03the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can get outside. Sometimes you
- 24:07do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside
- 24:11the city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you can do
- 24:14that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also on their website. It's CCSSC
- 24:19dot org. As Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I
- 24:26just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org.
- 24:33Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of
- 24:37your garage door needs. Commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that
- 24:44it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
- 24:48that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can
- 24:53take care of square and that away for you, and while they're there,
- 24:56you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like
- 25:00to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you
- 25:06want it to be and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
- 25:08Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a
- 25:14noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
- 25:18issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in
- 25:22and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add
- 25:26a screen door to your garage door system that you can put down and you
- 25:30can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know,
- 25:36if you like to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 25:38you just want a little man cavid. You'd like to be able to open
- 25:41the door up and not invite all the insects in. They can do that
- 25:45for you as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing
- 25:48worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage
- 25:53door won't open and you need somebody to come help, and they do those
- 25:57as well. Seven oh six or five I eight forty five hundred seven O
- 26:00six three five eight forty five hundred odccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show
- 26:07right after the break well. According to a new survey, sixty five percent
- 26:19of American adults said that they would be willing to use marijuana under the guidance
- 26:25of a medical professional. The survey also found eighty eight percent of people who
- 26:30do consume cannabis for medical reasons said that it reduced their use of prescription drugs,
- 26:36alcohol or both. Yeah, I mean, if it's from a real
- 26:44doctor. I think part of the problem we have with this whole notion and
- 26:48idea of medical marijuana is it's become quite a joke amongst folks in Hollywood.
- 26:55You see it in movies, you see it in TV shows. Comedians joke
- 26:57about how easy it is to get a prescription. And I mean just because
- 27:02a doctor says that you can use it doesn't mean that you should be using
- 27:07it, does it. I mean, I think that's a lot. I
- 27:11mean, either or everybody that I encounter over the course of my day seems
- 27:18to be under a doctor's note to use it. I don't know. It's
- 27:22just everywhere. I smell it constantly all around me, and it's not me.
- 27:29Never even tried it, but I would if my doctor thought it was
- 27:33in my best interest to use it. Yes, I would treat it as
- 27:37a medication. I've used stronger medications at a doctor's recommendation. So but I
- 27:41guess this study. I guess particular survey relates to the stigma I guess behind
- 27:48it. So there you go. Hey, Motorola's unveiled a concept for a
- 27:52smartphone that you wear on your wrist. It's not a watch. It seems
- 27:56like a watch, though doesn't only already have watches that you have phones connected
- 28:02to them. I've got a smart watch, but this one's like a slap
- 28:06bracelet. The phone features an adaptive display concept that can be bent and shaped
- 28:10into different forms depending on users' needs. When it's flat, it has an
- 28:15end. It is an Android phone with a six point nine inch screen and
- 28:18when it's on the wrist slapped on there, it turns into a large watch
- 28:22for hands free use on the go. So it's a transformer. That's what
- 28:26it's it comes down to, is it. You know, it's a transformer.
- 28:30It's a watch and it's a phone, and it can be either one.
- 28:34Now that sounds convenient, all right, some changing my tune on it.
- 28:37That sounds more usable and something that could be of benefit. All right.
- 28:42It is Halloween, so how about this. It's a good Halloween story
- 28:48or a weird Halloween story? I don't a Witch's a New Jersey home that's
- 28:52for sale. It has its own cemetery on the property. The three bedroom,
- 28:56three bathroom house has a bell tie and an ancient cemetery because it used
- 29:03to be a church. The sixty five No, six hundred and fifty thousand
- 29:08dollars asking price. Sorry, I gotta watch that, Colm, I get
- 29:11you one hundred and fifty bodies on the property roommates in graves back dating back
- 29:18to eighteen forty three. If you don't want to care for that part of
- 29:22the property, a historic group has been maintaining it for a small fee.
- 29:26I would think that's probably in your best interest to pay them to continue to
- 29:30do the upkeep. On on the cemetery part of it, I don't know.
- 29:36Maybe that's your thing, maybe you want to take, but six hundred
- 29:37and fifty thousand dollars get you an old church and a cemetery. I think
- 29:45the church part might help keep the poultergeist away. How many close friends do
- 29:49you have? A survey done by Pew Research Center says sixty one percent of
- 29:55US adults say that having close friends is extremely or very important for people living
- 30:00a fulfilling life. This is much higher than those who said the same thing
- 30:03about being married, having children, or having lots of money. So how
- 30:08many close friends do you have? According to the survey, thirty eight percent
- 30:12said that they have five or more friends, fifty three percent say they have
- 30:17between one and four friends, and eight percent said they have no close friends.
- 30:21The survey also found that those who have a large group of friends are
- 30:23more satisfied with the quality of their friendships. So here you go. What's
- 30:33in a name? Twenty five words? Civil Registry Office of Spain is ordering
- 30:40proud to parents of a baby girl to shorten her name because it's too long.
- 30:45Fernando fits James Stewart, who happens to be a duke, and his
- 30:49wife recently christened their daughter. Here we go, twenty five words in the
- 30:55name, Sophia Fernando Dolores Quayatana, Teresa Angela de la Cruz, Michaela del
- 31:03Santissimo, Sacramento del puerre, Poteau. I messed that one up. Perpetuto,
- 31:14that's it, socorro de la santissima, that's already in there. Well,
- 31:18it was a santissimo. Now there's a santissima, Trinidad dey toto slow
- 31:25santos. I guess I could have done it with the proper pronunciation. But
- 31:29I'm not getting paid for that one. I normally get paid to read names.
- 31:32I wasn't getting paid. Well, I guess I am, But I
- 31:33wasn't getting paid directly for that one. She's not graduating, she's a baby.
- 31:37The baby is named after her late great grandmother, who had nineteen names.
- 31:41Well, that's what it's all about. That's one of there's so many
- 31:45names. The Civil Registry said it is prohibited by law to allow such a
- 31:48long name, So the couple has not yet figured out what they're going to
- 31:52do about it. So if the grandmother, I'm sorry, great grandmother had
- 31:56nineteen names and then this baby has twenty five names, uh so her great
- 32:00granddaughter, I don't know fifty. I don't know how many are they gonna
- 32:06push this thing? How far are we gonna go with this name thing?
