  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the Wes
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carroll Morning Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Thursday morning, 29th day of October. I'm Wes. Thanks for
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: joining me. Halloween coming up fast. Coming up fast. A
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: bit under the weather. I picked up a cold. Luke
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: has had it, I guess, for almost three weeks now,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: and yesterday was my a day where the, the, the
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: reckoning came around for me being, uh, spending a fair
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: amount of time, uh, in his vicinity during his care.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Jill was too, but, uh, my job does not put
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: me around a lot of other people, uh, often. So
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I'm usually able to kind of be at home and
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: be the one taking care of, uh, of him while
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: he was out of school for a few days, uh,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: during his illness. But, a little bit of a croaky
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: voice to start the day, and a little bit of
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: a cough. I have a cough drop, so bear with
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: me if I have the occasional cough drop, click clack,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: or the sound of me making sure I don't drool
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: cough drop juice all over the, is that what it's called?
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Juice all over my desk or my Or my board
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: or I guess my mouse. I was going to say keyboard,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: but the keyboard's not as close as you might think.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I've got to reach for that just a little bit.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: But the mouse is handy. So, yeah, going to be
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: dealing with a little bit of that throughout the morning.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: So apologies for that. And thank goodness there's not any
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: activity this weekend that will keep me out walking the
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: streets in the cooler weather. With Halloween being this weekend
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: and the time change happening on Sunday, That is one.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: So first, we got this double whammy or triple. It's
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: a double whammy, I think. First of all, you get
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: a holiday like St. Patrick's Day or Halloween, and you
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: stick that on a Saturday or a Friday. It's extra
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: reason to be extra cautious with people enjoying beverages and things. Yes, Halloween...
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: For a long time. When I was a kid, it
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: was primarily a holiday for children. And as I've gotten older,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I think those children grew up and they still like
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: to participate in Halloween. And I think also you get younger,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: like 20-somethings that still fits with that, but they want
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: to go clubbing and whatever. And I guess people still
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: do that. I don't know. But the bottom line is
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: it's an opportunity for people to be having beverages and
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: hopefully being responsible out there. But just be extra careful, especially,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you know, you got the trick or treat hours that
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: will be when it's not too dark and hopefully before
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: people are making dumb decisions out there. But remember, Uber
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: is an option now. Used to be also when I
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: was younger, you had to be, you know, have a
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: designated driver. That was usually me. I never was a
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: big drinker when I was younger. Still not a big drinker.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: The occasional whiskey, but that's about it for me. But
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: we have that happening this weekend. So it's Halloween, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: it's on a weekend day, a day for people to
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: drink on Saturday. And then you throw in the fact
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: that we have the time changing at 2 a.m. on
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the first, All Saints Day. Then it's an extra... hour
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: to party hard with your Halloween. So all of that
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: kind of rolling in. So that's why I say it's
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: a bit of a double whammy on all of those things.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So just be extra careful. We didn't get our permanent
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: time change. I'd actually like it to be a permanent
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: time change after this time change, but we're not going
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: to get that either. So at least not anytime soon.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we're ever going to get it,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: but I would love to think I'm also one of
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: those weirdos who thinks we should just have one time.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: It should all just be one time zone and you
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have to, you know, wherever you live. I don't
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: think I've ever talked about this on the show, but
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I'm one of those weirdos who just thinks like, you know, it's,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: it's 6am. Uh, if it was 6am for us in
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the East coast of the U S it should also
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: be 6am, uh, all around the world. That's the way
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: it should be. And then wherever you live, you might
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: wake up at three in the afternoon. You might, you know,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: your bedtime might be, you know, 10 a.m. Shouldn't matter.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: We should all just be on the same time. That's
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: what I think. That's where my brain is about all this.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: And I know that's a big leap from just the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: plain old, hey, let's just stop moving the time an
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: hour for the purposes of whatever, whatever reason we still
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: do it. I don't know what that is. All right,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: so another thing that has changed a bit since childhood
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: for those of us in the Gen X group is
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the way that TV is used when it comes to
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: raising our kids. I mean, that's not the word we
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: want to say, but it kind of is the right word.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: And even if it's not raising them, even if you're
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: one of those people who's trying to be very responsible
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: about it and small doses and limiting screen time and
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: all those things. First of all, if you're limiting screen time,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: that's great. And we've talked about this on the show
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: many times. And I just want to point out the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: fact that there are many experts now saying from a
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: psychology side that because kids are consuming the shorter doses, content,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: little bursts of little, and hopefully your kids aren't watching reels,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: depending on their ages, but hopefully small kids aren't necessarily
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: watching reels and all that. But even if you've got
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: teenagers that are watching reels or YouTube shorts and all
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: those things, and just an awareness that we need to
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: have for the fact that if we're in as adults,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: we need to be aware of it for us as well.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: But consuming short form content for long periods of time
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: it's shortening our attention span. It just is. It's just
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the way that it works. You're getting used to it.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: You're getting your, whatever the content is. And if you've ever,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: if you've never, by the way, if you've never watched
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: a breakdown on the way those scroll videos are set
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: up and the way that the algorithm as far as
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: the content that you're going to see and what you're
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: exposed to It's really, it's very specific. It's very targeted.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: They have a very clear intention for the way it works.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I know I've gotten off on a little bit of
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: a tangent here, but it's just, and you should look
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: it up. Maybe I'll do a whole show on it
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: if you want me to do that. But it's basically,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the short rundown on this is that it's going to
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: be some kind of content to grab you in. something
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: that will get you to click on that first video.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: So it's going to relate to something high on your
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: algorithm that's going to draw you in. And then you're
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: going to get other videos that they think the algorithm
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: is trying to guess. Maybe this is what you'll want.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: It does kind of tie into things that you've seen,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: but sometimes you get those videos and you go, why
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: am I seeing this? So that's the next thing. And
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: then you're going to get something that's going to have
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: some sort of a joke, a laugh to go with it,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: or something cute. a cat video, or you're going to
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: get something that is intended to give you this like
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: awe moment, right? Sorry, got to have a sip of water.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: This throat thing is getting me. And then immediately after that,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: that's when you're going to see an ad. Now that
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, you're going to notice this because once
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I started really looking into this, I found the rhythm
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: for it. And then you say, ah, got it. And
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: then you come out of that with something else that
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: goes back to something that ties into your algorithm or
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: something that they think you might be interested in to
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: hold you over to the next thing, the next thing,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: and then you get another like, haha, and then an ad.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: That's the way it works. That's the way it's structured.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: So from that standpoint, if you've got teenagers or kids
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: in your life or you are watching a lot of
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: these things, When we try to limit our screen time
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: with our kids, it's a good idea to get them
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: to watch something longer form. If you're able to get
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: them to watch a TV show, obviously you want to
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: monitor what they're watching. You don't want to just throw
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: them into Breaking Bad or Oz. Two very different decades.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: But still, tough to watch. And if you... It can
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: get them to sit down and watch a movie. That's great.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Some kids will sit down and watch frozen over and
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: over or, you know, whatever, and whatever the new movie
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: is that people watch over and over again. So it's
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: not a bad idea necessarily when you're limiting their screen
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: time to keep in mind the longer form content and
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the short form content, two very different things and have,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: can have some benefit for them as far as the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: longer form.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: So When I was a kid, it was nothing for
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: my parents to say. We'd watch Sesame Street. We'd watch
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: some of the PBS-type content when I was very young.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: And then a lot of the kind of educational stuff.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: it was a little, and we got into shifted into
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Saturday morning cartoons back then that stuff was kind of
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: monitored what was being seen. There was a pretty strict
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: code on what you were allowed to show kids. Uh,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: and then as we got older and we started to
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: have more TV networks and, you know, the Nickelodeons and
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the Disney channels and all those things, uh, the cartoons
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: got really weird. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at you, Ren and Stimpy. And then also
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: the morning show type content changed where you were getting,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: there was a variety of different things that you could see.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: My kids watch the Wiggles a lot. I have an
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Australian in the house. I've got now two little half
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Australians in the house. So it was nothing for us
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: to put the Wiggles on, especially when Jake was really young.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: And when your kids like mine are about three years apart,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: the younger one is going to watch a little bit
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: less of the quote unquote baby TV sometimes. And Jake
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: watched a lot more of it than Luke did. But
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: things like the Wiggles, yes. And it's a lot of music.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: They're very musically inclined kids to begin with. Probably helped
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: inspire some of their love for music, what they do.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: But anyway. So you had that. You had some of
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: the more educational stuff, PBS. I'm not going to run
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: through their full lineup of shows that they watch. And
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: then it's turned into these shows like Miss Rachel, and
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: that's where we're getting to. Yesterday talked about the incident
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: with the three-year-old kid in Florida. I told you then
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: we don't know the whole story. We've heard two sides
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: of a story that still doesn't necessarily paint the full picture.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: The body cam footage does show us that basically the
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: parents were the problem, not necessarily the three-year-old boy. The boy,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I guess, was taken out of the soccer game. And
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: if you're not familiar, yesterday's show, a three-year-old boy, very
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: good at soccer, playing in a league for five and
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: under kids, and was just dominating. Just dominating on the field.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: That's great. Good for the parents. This doesn't mean this
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: kid is going to play professional soccer one day. It
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean he's going to be someday on the U.S.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: national team. It just means he's really good at three
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: years old. That's what it means. We've all seen this,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: especially if you've been around and coached soccer. You've seen
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: this play out. You have a kid who's really good
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: at soccer, and they eventually find another sport. They move on,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: and it's not as big of a deal. Now, this kid,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: according to someone from the league, they said he was
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: pushing the other kids around. He was physically pushing them
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: while he was scoring goals, and it caused them to
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: take the kid out of the game. The parents, I guess,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: either called the police or made a scene enough that
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: someone else called the police because they said that the
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: kid was too good and they weren't letting him play.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: He'd been kicked out of the league because they took
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: him off the field. And then they've now raised, I
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: don't know, pushing 50 grand or more than 50. At
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: last check, they were pushing, getting close to 50 grand.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: They've raised on GoFundMe. I didn't realize that a GoFundMe
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: could just be, someone was mean to my kid. Give
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: me money. But apparently you can do that. And then
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: if you have an honest, genuine cause for, you know, hey,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I lost my business because I wouldn't, you know, cater
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: a gay wedding. No, GoFundMe says you can't do that. Anyway.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: So we've kind of gotten another side of this whole story.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: And I told you yesterday my issues with it. And
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: it's not just the parents. I feel like probably based
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: on the police video, seems like they maybe went a
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: bit far with it by saying that he was kicked
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: out of the league if all they did was take
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: him off the field, if that's the story. But the
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: issue here is, to me, more than anything else, one
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: of this is a team sport. It's a beginner league.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: They're very small kids. No kid should be on the
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: score rattling off 40 goals in a couple of games.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: There's no reason for that. That doesn't benefit anybody that's
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: out there trying to play. You got other kids that
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: want to take some chances and try to learn to
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: love the game. And if they're just standing there watching
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: this kid do everything and no one else is having fun,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: then there's no point in the league. It's supposed to
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: be fun. It's supposed to be fun and it's supposed
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: to be fun for the three-year-old. Shouldn't be held back,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: but you need to have him out there teaching him
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: that it's a team sport. There's other kids on the field.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: That's my two cents as a longtime soccer coach for kids.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I did happen to see yesterday at some point after
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I did the show, I guess they brought some moms
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: in on one of the news shows to talk about it.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: And it was a lot of, you know, this is
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: the everybody gets a trophy generation and they should let
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: this kid play and let him score as many goals
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: as he wants. Disagree with that completely. I understand the
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: mentality about everybody gets trophy generation, I do, but that's
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: not the purpose of this soccer league, is not to
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: let this kid score 40 goals. That's not in any way.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: So now we've got Miss Rachel, who of course makes
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: millions of dollars off of your children if you let
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: them watch this show, and gives all the money, or
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: a chunk of the money, to candidates on the Democrat side,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: just so that you're aware, if that bothers you, You
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: should keep that in mind if you're raising kids and
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: letting them watch Miss Rachel. I would not let mine
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: watch Miss Rachel, but they've outgrown that anyway. But she's
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: chimed in on this. She feels like she had to
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: insert her opinion on all of this. She's had to
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: go on her social media and say she's livid. The
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: cops were called on a three-year-old black boy because he's
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: too good at soccer. And that's the narrative. That's what's
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: being pushed a week to election day. As we're hearing
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: all of this. He was kicked out of the league,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: she says. I need my sports people to show up.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: This is racist, sick, traumatizing, and disgusting. What makes Miss
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Rachel an expert on this? Other than she did what
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: we did. She heard about the story. But she's trying
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: to send an army of people to come in and
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: get involved in this. Whether you've got all the facts
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: or not. Doesn't matter if you know all the facts.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: What matters is you're upset and you want everybody to
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: be upset. And this ultimately pushes this narrative of everyone
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: is racist all the time. And we have to do
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: what we have to do to make sure that no
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: one is racist. I'm not on the side of anyone
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: who's racist. This just doesn't seem to be a case
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: of racism here. You need to have a definitive line
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: in the sand that's crossed that says racism. And if
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: you're just going to be able to accuse people without
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: actually having anything to back it up, I think we
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: should slow down on that. If you're going to cry rape,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: you should know that there is a definite impact on
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: calling rape on somebody. And then if you take it
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: away and you go, oh, it wasn't raped. As it
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: turns out, that's not what happened. Well, you've already labeled
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: and branded someone a rapist. You call someone racist, and
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: then if you back it down or the information comes
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: in and says, well, they didn't do anything racist. Well,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: you've already labeled them that. And there is some sort
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: of a penance for that, right? You have some sort
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: of repercussions for it. So, yes, Miss Rachel, glad that
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: my kids never even looked in your direction. And if
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: they were currently watching it, I would definitely be shutting
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: it down. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: University's Coca-Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating students. the
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: really of all ages, I mean, they do it for
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: school-age kids as school-age kids visit the Coca-Cola Space Science Center,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: but they also do it through their university programs where
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: space and STEM fields are booming right now. And you
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website, ccssc.org.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming programs.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Schwob School of Music from Columbus State University called Music
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: can get anywhere else. It's one of those things that
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, Is
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: this really in Columbus, Georgia? I mean, this is a
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: the planetarium at the Coca-Cola Space Science Center. And the
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: new season of Music Under the Dome, check out upcoming
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: dates for the shows. And also check out when the
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: next astronomy night's coming up where you can get outside.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you do it at the Coca-Cola Space Science Center.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you get outside, somewhere outside the city lights. You
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: don't want any light interference, and you can do that
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: It's CCSSC.org. As Sean Cruzan says, CharlieCharlieSamSamCharlie.org. I just remind
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: you that it stands for Coca-Cola Space Science Center, CCSSC.org.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial... or residential,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: for you. And while they're there, you can always ask
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: you need some repair work done to the outside door.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: door system. that you can put down and you can
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: come help. And they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: More West Carroll Morning Show right after the break. Well,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: in case you didn't know, the McRib is back. It
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: actually has been back for a couple days. And I
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: suspect that if you're interested in getting a McRib, you
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: probably already knew that it was back. I think most
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: people who are McRib fans are fully aware of every
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: bit of news information there is about the McRib. But
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: I'm passing it along to those of you who are
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: the occasional McRib eaters. I don't know that I've ever
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: had one, to be completely honest, and it's not even
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: on my priority list. If someone said, here, here's a
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: free McRib, I assume that I would at least taste it.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I've ever looked at one and gone, yep,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: that looks incredibly appetizing. But I'd try it. I mean,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: why not? Just not going to rush out. And if
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: I've made it this far, I'm probably going to be
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: just fine without ever having one. It is, of course,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: for a limited time, as always, in select markets. And
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: it's still the same old boneless pork patty with barbecue
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: sauce and onions and pickles. And, you know, it appears
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: and then disappears. There was the talk about the retirement
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: as it was going to go away at one point.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: And I don't think we're ever really going to see
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: it go anywhere unless people stop buying it. And then
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: it will, of course, go away. But for now, It's
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: not going anywhere. Well, I mean, after this limited time,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: but temporarily. Speaking of ribs, America's protein obsession hitting new levels.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Weight loss drugs could be helping fuel it with a
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: new report found that nearly half of U.S. adults actively
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: trying to eat more protein. But among people taking GLP-1s,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: that number jumps to 65 percent. Experts say that it's
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: because people on those drugs tend to eat less overall
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: and encouraged to load up on protein to help preserve
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: muscle while they're losing weight. The trend is so big
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: that protein popping up in everything from chips to water,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: restaurants advertising their high-protein menu items, and basically Americans are
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: already consuming twice the recommended amount of protein, but less
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: than half the recommended amount of fiber. So maybe keep
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: that in mind as you're trying to load up on
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: extra protein. Maybe throw in some higher fiber foods while
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: you're having those restricted meals, restricted diets, not trying to
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: eat as much. I would love to know how many
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: people taking a GLP-1 can go eat a couple of McRibs.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: You know, when you... I don't think it would go
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: that well. I think you're probably not wanting to eat
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: much of a McRib. That's just my hunch. From what
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I hear from friends that are taking GLP-1s. Halloween can
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: be a scary time for your pets. Veterinarians say that
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: some of the biggest hazards this time of year are
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: hiding in plain sight. Candy bowls, costumes, decorations, trick-or-treaters that
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: are coming to the door, chocolate, raisins, and sugar-free candy
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: containing xylitol can be dangerous for dogs and cats. So
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: experts recommend keeping all the treats well out of reach.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Pets can also get stressed by the constant stream of
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: costumed visitors, making Halloween one of the easiest nights of
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: year for a nervous dog or cat to slip out
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: the door. Pet costumes obviously make your pet look adorable,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: and you can put them on social media. Experts say
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: they should never restrict an animal's vision, hearing, and especially
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: not their breathing. So... Just keep all those things in
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: mind as we get into the holiday weekend. It's a
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: holiday weekend, right? It's kind of. It's not an official
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: holiday weekend, but it's kind of a holiday weekend. It's
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: a fun holiday weekend. Move over, Paris. There's a new
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: capital of romance. A new survey says that Trenton, New
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Jersey has edged out Paris as the world's most romantic destination. No,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. Maui, most romantic. I don't know why Trenton,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: New Jersey popped in my head. 34% of respondents say
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: they would rather go to the Hawaiian island compared to
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: 33% for Paris. Voters cited Maui's stunning beaches, gorgeous sunsets,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: tropical scenery, laid-back vibe as reasons that top the list. Rome, Venice,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Cancun rounded out the top five. The survey also suggesting
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: that many travelers are rethinking romance with nearly 7 in 10,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: saying smaller, less crowded destinations can be more romantic than
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: major cities. So it seems that currently in today's climate,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: romantic moments may be less about strolling along the streets
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: of Paris and more about watching the sunset over the Pacific. Yeah,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: sign me up for that as well. That'll do it
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: for this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks to our
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. Catch you back
• 26:36
