Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day when you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, a seventh day of May. I'm wes. Thanks
0:14
Speaker 2: for joining me creeping on through this week? Aren't we now?
0:20
Speaker 2: A week deep into the month of May? Here we go,
0:24
Speaker 2: see itte DeMaio anybody. I don't know, we could keep going.
0:29
Speaker 2: We can go as far as you want to go
0:31
Speaker 2: with it. I think we can do that. I don't know.
0:34
Speaker 2: You're probably already sick of it. I kind of am too,
0:36
Speaker 2: but it's still something to, you know, just throw out there.
0:40
Speaker 2: I don't know, see if it sticks. Can we make
0:43
Speaker 2: them all special? I think we should try to make
0:45
Speaker 2: them all special. Speaking of special, oh my goodness. It's
0:49
Speaker 2: one of those stories that you don't know if it's
0:51
Speaker 2: real or if it's fake. I'm not sure which it is.
0:56
Speaker 2: I mean it's real, you just don't know if it
0:58
Speaker 2: has real intentions or is is somebody having another like
1:06
Speaker 2: go if you will, at Shadoor Sanders or at the
1:10
Speaker 2: public It's it's hard to know, but there is. And
1:14
Speaker 2: this happened here in Georgia, in Atlanta, where it was
1:17
Speaker 2: actually filed a lawsuit that was filed by an anonymous
1:24
Speaker 2: Colorado Buffaloes fan who and all the paperwork is there,
1:32
Speaker 2: it's got all of the correct markings that this has
1:36
Speaker 2: actually been filed. The plaintiff who decided filing on behalf
1:42
Speaker 2: of themself. This is an unnamed person a John Doe,
1:47
Speaker 2: and basically has filed a lawsuit about the slide of
1:59
Speaker 2: Shadoor Sander in the NFL draft. The It's a one
2:04
Speaker 2: hundred million dollar lawsuit against the NFL and basically saying
2:11
Speaker 2: that the decisions may have been influenced by racial discrimination. Again,
2:17
Speaker 2: this is someone who is a Colorado University of Colorado
2:22
Speaker 2: fan who lives here in Georgia. Filed this in Atlanta.
2:27
Speaker 2: And I'm not going to spend a whole lot of
2:30
Speaker 2: time on rehashing the shud Or Sanders thing. In a nutshell,
2:35
Speaker 2: we're basically talking about someone who at one time some
2:43
Speaker 2: thought maybe he would be considered for the first overall
2:45
Speaker 2: pick in the draft. That privilege and honor and distinction
2:52
Speaker 2: was awarded, and I think that's the right word for
2:55
Speaker 2: it to cam Ward who went to Miami and was
3:01
Speaker 2: taken first overall by Tennessee. And it's worth mentioning that
3:06
Speaker 2: because cam Ward himself being a black man, So for
3:13
Speaker 2: the conversations about race being part of all of this,
3:19
Speaker 2: I mean, I realize that we're in a society that
3:23
Speaker 2: can interject race into everything, and we kind of do
3:28
Speaker 2: as a society as many different ways as we can.
3:31
Speaker 2: If we can somehow turn race into a story and
3:35
Speaker 2: find a way to divide us as Americans a little
3:38
Speaker 2: bit more, or find a way to pick up the
3:41
Speaker 2: scab of healing that we've been trying to do with racism,
3:48
Speaker 2: I think most of us have been trying to heal.
3:51
Speaker 2: I think that's a fair assessment, And I know there's
3:53
Speaker 2: people who would disagree with me strongly. My world, it's
3:59
Speaker 2: a lot of people who are ready to move on
4:01
Speaker 2: from that. They want to heal, They want to move on. Now.
4:04
Speaker 2: There are some that I know who absolutely don't want
4:07
Speaker 2: that to heal. There are some that want things like
4:10
Speaker 2: reparations and and you know, just don't want it to
4:15
Speaker 2: go away. In some cases it's politically advantageous to try
4:21
Speaker 2: to keep people separated and try to do those things.
4:23
Speaker 2: But I would say most of the people I know,
4:26
Speaker 2: most of the people I'm close to, are ready to
4:30
Speaker 2: heal and move on and have a better life and
4:33
Speaker 2: a better world for all of us. But we do
4:35
Speaker 2: have this tendency at least when it comes to you know,
4:39
Speaker 2: it happens a lot in sports. Let's be honest, it's
4:43
Speaker 2: this is something and it's not. It wasn't new to sports.
4:46
Speaker 2: We know as as over the years, race has played
4:51
Speaker 2: a big factor in a number of things that happen
4:53
Speaker 2: in sports. Whether you know Hank Aaron certainly comes to mind.
4:59
Speaker 2: We know what he went through, we know what Bill
5:01
Speaker 2: Russell went through with his time in Boston. There's so
5:06
Speaker 2: many of those kinds of stories that are out there.
5:08
Speaker 2: And then we saw things like, you know, the city
5:11
Speaker 2: of Boston getting Larry Bird and the city of la
5:15
Speaker 2: getting Magic Johnson and kind of what that did for
5:18
Speaker 2: the league in many ways as a positive as far
5:22
Speaker 2: as you know, kind of nationally giving someone to root for.
5:26
Speaker 2: It's so absurd to think though that you were only
5:28
Speaker 2: allowed to root for the person that was the same
5:31
Speaker 2: race as you. But anyway, back to Shador Sanders. So
5:35
Speaker 2: he fell down to pick number one, forty four, It
5:38
Speaker 2: wasn't one. He wasn't anywhere in the first round. He apparently,
5:43
Speaker 2: according to reports had really bad interviews with teams. We've
5:49
Speaker 2: talked about some of those here on the show. One
5:53
Speaker 2: of those teams, according to reports, was the New York
5:57
Speaker 2: Giants that apparently, you know, they questioned him on some
6:00
Speaker 2: of the decisions. He made some bad decisions, some interceptions,
6:03
Speaker 2: turnovers and sacks and things, and like his answers apparently
6:08
Speaker 2: to at least one team and I don't know if
6:09
Speaker 2: this was the Giants, but apparently to one team that
6:12
Speaker 2: he questioned, that questioned him on things. According to reports,
6:15
Speaker 2: he said, maybe I'm not the person for you. So
6:20
Speaker 2: and I did a show on this. This was a
6:23
Speaker 2: draft where you didn't have a lot of teams that
6:25
Speaker 2: need quarterbacks. We've had some quarterback heavy drafts in the
6:28
Speaker 2: last few years. You got teams that kind of have
6:31
Speaker 2: their guy right now. And I would be honest with you,
6:34
Speaker 2: and this is just me giving an opinion. And this
6:36
Speaker 2: is coming from somebody who has lived his entire life
6:39
Speaker 2: as an Alabama fan. I don't you know a former
6:46
Speaker 2: Alabama quarterback and Jalen Hurts just won a Super Bowl
6:49
Speaker 2: and things that Jalen Hurts does well, he does very well.
6:55
Speaker 2: It is possible to come up with a defensive scheme
6:58
Speaker 2: to stop him. There were teams that were able to
7:02
Speaker 2: do that successfully against him in college, even at Alabama.
7:06
Speaker 2: That National championship game against Georgia was a perfect example.
7:09
Speaker 2: Now he's a better player than he was then, certainly,
7:14
Speaker 2: But you know, that's a team that has a quarterback
7:17
Speaker 2: and a lot of people say, oh wow, he's a
7:19
Speaker 2: great quarterback and he won a super Bowl. That's you know,
7:23
Speaker 2: that's that says something. I'll just remind you Trent Dilfer
7:27
Speaker 2: won a super Bowl. So it doesn't automatically make you
7:29
Speaker 2: a great quarterback because you won a super Bowl. Just
7:32
Speaker 2: putting that out there is just something to consider. The
7:37
Speaker 2: the you know, the Brad Johnson factor. Sometimes there's just
7:42
Speaker 2: a couple of those guys. You go, really, they won
7:44
Speaker 2: a super Bowl. I don't know that that makes it,
7:46
Speaker 2: but it's still an accomplishment and good for him. I'm
7:48
Speaker 2: not not This isn't a let's talk trash about Jalen Hurts.
7:52
Speaker 2: I'm just pointing out that you've got teams that have
7:54
Speaker 2: quarterbacks that I don't are they great? Are they? You know,
7:58
Speaker 2: elite level quarterbacks? He wont Super Bowl? Good for him,
8:02
Speaker 2: but they're not looking for a quarterback is what I'm
8:04
Speaker 2: getting at. And you got some teams that maybe have
8:06
Speaker 2: guys like that, they think, well, this guy can win,
8:09
Speaker 2: and you know that haven't won a Super Bowl yet,
8:12
Speaker 2: but they think, you know, so they don't need a quarterback.
8:14
Speaker 2: There weren't many teams that needed one. So if you're
8:18
Speaker 2: showing up at your interviews thinking that, hey, my dad
8:21
Speaker 2: is Dion Sanders and I'm going to get drafted, it's
8:24
Speaker 2: probably not going to go well for a job interview.
8:27
Speaker 2: So according to this lawsuit that they're seeking one hundred
8:31
Speaker 2: million dollars as they're saying that race may have been
8:34
Speaker 2: a factor in all of it and basically that this
8:39
Speaker 2: would be a violation of his civil rights the Civil
8:43
Speaker 2: Rights Act of nineteen sixty four. According to the lawsuit,
8:49
Speaker 2: the decisions made regarding Sanders may have been influenced by
8:52
Speaker 2: racial discrimination, violating his rights as a player. Now this,
8:58
Speaker 2: of course there have been you know, Jamal Bowman, representative,
9:04
Speaker 2: former representative said, America continues to fear strong black men.
9:10
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. If he was, you know, ready
9:14
Speaker 2: to play, ready to go to his interviews, maybe you
9:17
Speaker 2: could say that he was strong. But he's you know,
9:20
Speaker 2: he wasn't He wasn't ready for this job. He wasn't
9:22
Speaker 2: ready for the interviews. He didn't go in there prepared.
9:26
Speaker 2: Now it's interesting because I don't think we've heard a
9:28
Speaker 2: whole lot from him or his dad since they got
9:30
Speaker 2: He got drafted, the second quarterback drafted by the Cleveland Browns.
9:35
Speaker 2: But I think he's, you know, maybe he's gotten refocused
9:38
Speaker 2: and thinking, Okay, I got to go try to earn
9:39
Speaker 2: this job. I got to go earn a spot on
9:41
Speaker 2: this team because where he got drafted, there's no guarantee
9:45
Speaker 2: that he even makes the team that has five quarterbacks
9:47
Speaker 2: on the roster. But anyway does make you wonder this
9:52
Speaker 2: is another prank? Is this another they're just having a
9:55
Speaker 2: go with him or with us or whatever. I don't know.
9:58
Speaker 2: I don't know how all that plays out, but there
10:01
Speaker 2: you go. I want to also talk about this Jimsaki,
10:05
Speaker 2: because she did a I guess a recent I want
10:12
Speaker 2: to say interview, but I think she was actually maybe
10:15
Speaker 2: even the host, and she was asked about no, no, no,
10:22
Speaker 2: she was a guest I guess on the show, and
10:25
Speaker 2: she was asked a question about whether or not I guess.
10:28
Speaker 2: This was on Mixed signals as maybe the name of
10:32
Speaker 2: the show, podcast or whatever it was, and she was asked,
10:36
Speaker 2: had she ever seen this side of Biden that people
10:41
Speaker 2: have been accusing the cover up? You know, that he
10:45
Speaker 2: was not all there, not capable of doing the job,
10:49
Speaker 2: and that there was this big cover up that I
10:52
Speaker 2: think many on the right feel that. I think there's
10:55
Speaker 2: many people even in the middle, who feel like that's
10:58
Speaker 2: the way it all went down. But this was her quote.
11:01
Speaker 2: She says, I left in May of twenty twenty two,
11:04
Speaker 2: and I have seen Biden once since then, when I
11:07
Speaker 2: took my daughter to the holiday party this last December
11:10
Speaker 2: after he had lost and so I hadn't seen him
11:14
Speaker 2: in person during that period of time. I never saw
11:17
Speaker 2: that person, not a single time, and I was in
11:19
Speaker 2: the Oval office every day. That person that was on
11:23
Speaker 2: the debate stage, is how she described it. And then
11:27
Speaker 2: she said, were things that people saw during that period
11:30
Speaker 2: of time that were similar to that or would have
11:34
Speaker 2: been in the category of that, I don't know. Possibly, Okay,
11:40
Speaker 2: So an interesting thing. She also goes on to say
11:44
Speaker 2: cover up was a loaded term. Cover up is often
11:50
Speaker 2: like a crime. People use that term as they relate
11:54
Speaker 2: to Watergate. It's a bit of a dangerous term. Yes,
12:02
Speaker 2: it is a dangerous term, especially when you're talking about
12:05
Speaker 2: the sitting president of the United States. I think either
12:08
Speaker 2: party has a responsibility if the person running the country
12:13
Speaker 2: isn't able to run the country and other people are
12:16
Speaker 2: running it on their behalf. I do think that hiding
12:20
Speaker 2: that does in fact make it a criminal right, I mean,
12:25
Speaker 2: it's a cover up. Were laws being broken during this
12:30
Speaker 2: time while he was in the White House. I think
12:32
Speaker 2: there's questions for that. I think when you hear stories
12:36
Speaker 2: about you know, e, signatures and things being put on documents,
12:41
Speaker 2: and that exchange that he had with the Speaker of
12:45
Speaker 2: the House with Mike Johnson the first time they sat
12:47
Speaker 2: down together one on one and Mike Johnson asked him
12:49
Speaker 2: about you know, natural gas in Louisiana, and Biden said,
12:54
Speaker 2: I didn't sign that, and he said, yes, she did,
12:56
Speaker 2: and he said, well, that's not what they told me
12:58
Speaker 2: I was signing. So yes, this falls into the category
13:06
Speaker 2: of something being covered up, doesn't it. Now. I understand
13:10
Speaker 2: that's a story from Mike Johnson. I don't know if
13:14
Speaker 2: Biden has ever admitted to that actually happening, but that's
13:17
Speaker 2: a story that came from Mike Johnson. So if there's
13:19
Speaker 2: truth to that, certainly, I mean, that sounds like a
13:23
Speaker 2: lot of shady stuff was going on behind the scenes.
13:25
Speaker 2: So the question then becomes is we're talking about a
13:28
Speaker 2: cover up or not. I mean, if we're just talking about, Hey,
13:31
Speaker 2: he had some days where you know, he needed to
13:33
Speaker 2: go lie down, that's fine. We all have those days.
13:38
Speaker 2: I nowhere close to his age, and I have those
13:41
Speaker 2: days where I hand just want to go lie down
13:43
Speaker 2: for a minute. I need I need ten minutes. Give
13:45
Speaker 2: me ten minutes to go lie down. I would say
13:48
Speaker 2: give me an hour, but that doesn't typically work for
13:51
Speaker 2: me personally. But you know a lot of people will go,
13:53
Speaker 2: maybe just have a lie down, take a nap for
13:55
Speaker 2: an hour. I'm more of a you know, ten minutes.
13:59
Speaker 2: Anything much longer than ten twenty minutes and I'm wrecked.
14:02
Speaker 2: I might as well have just have to start the
14:04
Speaker 2: whole day all over again. But that's me personally. We've
14:08
Speaker 2: all had those days. We're not talking about that. We're
14:11
Speaker 2: not talking about somebody who just says, you know what,
14:13
Speaker 2: this is a bit overwhelming at the moment, just give
14:15
Speaker 2: me some time. If that's all it was, I don't
14:19
Speaker 2: think anybody would be saying cover up. But I think
14:21
Speaker 2: there's a lot of suspicion about what was going on
14:23
Speaker 2: in the White House. Who was running the cabinet meetings.
14:26
Speaker 2: We heard stories that he wasn't, We heard stories his
14:29
Speaker 2: wife was. We heard stories that there were other people
14:31
Speaker 2: running the meetings. We heard stories that, of course, that
14:35
Speaker 2: he didn't even know what was being signed. In some cases,
14:38
Speaker 2: we don't even know if he signed all those pardons.
14:41
Speaker 2: Who signed the pardons? Do we ever get an answer
14:43
Speaker 2: to that question? I never saw an answer to that,
14:45
Speaker 2: And I think that's a valid question. Who had the
14:49
Speaker 2: signatures put on the pardons? Did he sign them or
14:54
Speaker 2: did someone else do them on his behalf? I mean
14:56
Speaker 2: those are and that's all cover up stuff, because is
15:00
Speaker 2: it even valid if he didn't sign it. That's another
15:03
Speaker 2: fair question if someone is just signing things on his behalf. Yes,
15:06
Speaker 2: this falls under the term of cover up. If he's
15:10
Speaker 2: not capable of doing the job, and he's not capable
15:13
Speaker 2: of running the country and someone else is running it
15:16
Speaker 2: and they know that he's maybe not aware of what
15:20
Speaker 2: they're doing, and they're doing things without his knowledge, I
15:24
Speaker 2: think that constitutes a cover up. Did they push him out,
15:28
Speaker 2: because Okay, the curtain's been pulled back. Everybody now knows
15:35
Speaker 2: that he's not really like we hit it as long
15:37
Speaker 2: as we could. He wanted to go out and do
15:40
Speaker 2: this debate, and then it came out and we went,
15:43
Speaker 2: oh no, now it's gone. Now what are we gonna do?
15:47
Speaker 2: And we have to push him out? And he's not
15:50
Speaker 2: gonna want to go. He doesn't want to go. He
15:52
Speaker 2: wants to stay in there. His wife really wants to
15:54
Speaker 2: stay in there. I mean, these are the reports we
15:56
Speaker 2: were getting. So what do they do. They find someone
16:00
Speaker 2: else who probably would just be happy to just sit
16:02
Speaker 2: there and either rubber stamp or let them just e
16:06
Speaker 2: signature everything for her. And if that had happened, and
16:11
Speaker 2: if she had won, and that's what we had, it
16:14
Speaker 2: would still be a cover up if she wasn't doing
16:16
Speaker 2: the job and someone was doing it for her. Now,
16:19
Speaker 2: the real question is how many presidencies have done this
16:25
Speaker 2: sort of thing. I mean, I think it's a pretty
16:27
Speaker 2: massive cover up if we've had multiple presidents that aren't
16:31
Speaker 2: actually running the country and just letting other people do
16:33
Speaker 2: it for them. And I mean, the East signature has
16:36
Speaker 2: only been around so long as a valid means I
16:40
Speaker 2: would think that the East signature wouldn't be valid in
16:46
Speaker 2: you know, for like the president, should it be should
16:49
Speaker 2: they be doing that? I don't know, that's a discussion
16:51
Speaker 2: for another time. So, yeah, she kind of almost admitted
16:55
Speaker 2: in there that there were some of these elements we're
16:58
Speaker 2: talking about, you know, when she said were things that
17:02
Speaker 2: people saw during that period of time that were similar
17:05
Speaker 2: to that or would have been in the category of that,
17:07
Speaker 2: I don't know. Possibly, sounds like she's saying that, Eh,
17:13
Speaker 2: you know, so you're saying there's a chance. Sounds like
17:17
Speaker 2: she's saying that maybe just maybe it was seen. Then
17:21
Speaker 2: she's just saying possibly. So now if it's just a possibly,
17:26
Speaker 2: that probably doesn't constitute a cover up, but it does
17:30
Speaker 2: sound like some of what was going on in the
17:32
Speaker 2: White House during the Biden administration was definitely being covered up. Right.
17:37
Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State Universities Coca
17:41

19:20
Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
19:23
Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
19:29
Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
19:32
Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
19:36
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
19:40
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
19:43
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
19:45
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
19:49
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
19:52
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
19:54
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:57
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a new always when your
20:00
Speaker 2: garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of
20:03
Speaker 2: insulation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather,
20:07
Speaker 2: Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're
20:11
Speaker 2: looking at a situation where you'd like to add a
20:13
Speaker 2: screen door to your garage door system that you can
20:16
Speaker 2: put down and you can use your garage space as
20:20
Speaker 2: a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you
20:22
Speaker 2: like to work on your own cars in there, or
20:24
Speaker 2: maybe you just want a little man cavid, you'd like
20:27
Speaker 2: to be able to open the door up and not
20:29
Speaker 2: invite all the insects in. They can do that for
20:32
Speaker 2: you as well, And again they do after hours calls.
20:35
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
20:37
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
20:40
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
20:43
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five

Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show right
20:54
Speaker 2: after the break. Well, if you've been anxiously awaiting the
21:07
Speaker 2: release of Grand Theft Auto six, we finally have an update.
21:12
Speaker 2: We finally have an update of when the newest version
21:16
Speaker 2: of Grand Theft Auto will be released. It is coming, sorry,
21:20
Speaker 2: not this year, May twenty sixth of next year, twenty
21:24
Speaker 2: twenty six The original plan was for the game to
21:27
Speaker 2: come out this fall. Rockstar Games now says they need
21:30
Speaker 2: extra time to quote deliver at the level of quality
21:36
Speaker 2: you expect and deserve end quote. Fans of the franchise
21:41
Speaker 2: disappointed with the news, especially since the Grand Theft Auto
21:45
Speaker 2: six trailer was first unveiled in December of twenty twenty three,
21:52
Speaker 2: so you started getting the anticipation, the enthusiasm, the hype,
21:56
Speaker 2: and now still more than a year to go before
22:00
Speaker 2: the game actually gets released. So here's the deal. And
22:07
Speaker 2: I know this is one of those games that it
22:09
Speaker 2: has its rabid fan base. There's people who really really
22:12
Speaker 2: like this game, and there's some people who just think
22:15
Speaker 2: it's you know, people are playing this, you're stealing cars,
22:20
Speaker 2: and you know there's prostitutes in the game. You can
22:23
Speaker 2: hook up with a prostitute and pay her and then
22:26
Speaker 2: kill her and steal your money back. Like that's something
22:28
Speaker 2: that's actually in the game. I know, I know, at
22:31
Speaker 2: least that was in the original game. I assume that they're,
22:38
Speaker 2: you know, even if they're just taking the extra time,
22:42
Speaker 2: they're trying to make sure they can keep that in there.
22:44
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know, but I did at one time
22:48
Speaker 2: own one of the I don't remember which one one
22:52
Speaker 2: of them I owned. I had a friend who was
22:55
Speaker 2: one of the voice actors in the game. I don't
22:58
Speaker 2: know if he's still I need to ask him, is
23:00
Speaker 2: he still involved in it, but he was. I don't know.
23:06
Speaker 2: I don't remember if he sent it to me or
23:07
Speaker 2: if someone else sent it to me on his behalf,
23:10
Speaker 2: or what the deal was. But I got sent a
23:13
Speaker 2: copy of it and and I played it. You know,
23:16
Speaker 2: it's kind of this. It was the early days of
23:19
Speaker 2: you know, diving into like a whole world in a game,
23:22
Speaker 2: and I mean a more realistic level than you know,
23:26
Speaker 2: Super Mario. Yes, that's you know, you're getting into a
23:29
Speaker 2: world or Zelda, those kinds of games. But I'm talking
23:32
Speaker 2: about you know, where you're driving down actual city streets
23:36
Speaker 2: in the country and going, oh, well, this is this
23:39
Speaker 2: is where we are. So anyway, I'm curious to see
23:43
Speaker 2: what the advances and progresses are for this that'll be
23:47
Speaker 2: out next year. I don't see myself buying it though.
23:51
Speaker 2: All right, it happened. Skype this week has signed off
23:56
Speaker 2: officially I guess that happened on Monday. Skype found it
24:00
Speaker 2: in two thousand and three, acquired by Microsoft in twenty eleven,
24:04
Speaker 2: and Microsoft ended Skype. It was the first video chat
24:09
Speaker 2: one of the first video chat services out there, the
24:11
Speaker 2: first of it's kind, I guess, which allowed users to
24:14
Speaker 2: connect with people around the world for free Zoom and
24:20
Speaker 2: some other competitors kind of came in Zoom, especially during
24:24
Speaker 2: the pandemic obviously. And then Microsoft has its own thing teams,
24:31
Speaker 2: and they're going to actually just kind of fold Skype
24:33
Speaker 2: into the team's program, and a lot of people a
24:37
Speaker 2: little disappointed about Skype going away. I think this is
24:42
Speaker 2: one of those things where we were Skype people, our family,
24:47
Speaker 2: we were Skype people. Jill and I would use Jill
24:49
Speaker 2: would talk with her family on Skype once a week
24:53
Speaker 2: since she's been here in the States or almost she's
24:56
Speaker 2: been here a little longer then Skype survived. So yeah,
25:01
Speaker 2: it is when we were working on getting our Skype
25:03
Speaker 2: accounts kind of transferred over and all those sorts of things,
25:06
Speaker 2: trying to get those taken care of in the last
25:08
Speaker 2: couple of days. But it's a little sad, a little
25:10
Speaker 2: sad that Skype has gone away. I think that was
25:14
Speaker 2: but it makes sense once it's acquired by someone like
25:17
Speaker 2: Microsoft and they're able to say, we're just going to
25:20
Speaker 2: merge it into this team's thing, that's what we're going
25:23
Speaker 2: to do. How much do you love your pet? On
25:26
Speaker 2: a new survey found six percent of pet owners say
25:28
Speaker 2: they would take years off their own life if their
25:31
Speaker 2: pet could live longer. Ninety percent of those surveys said
25:34
Speaker 2: that their pet could turn a bad day into a
25:37
Speaker 2: good one just by simply being there, and fifty three
25:41
Speaker 2: percent said they trust their pet more than they trust
25:45
Speaker 2: their partner. We've had similar I think this is like
25:47
Speaker 2: an updated version of one of these studies that last
25:51
Speaker 2: part kind of hits. I mean, you can trust your
25:54
Speaker 2: pet more than your partner. I mean, what are we
25:59
Speaker 2: talking here as far as the trust factor? I mean
26:03
Speaker 2: if you put you know, like a piece of steak,
26:06
Speaker 2: you know, like on like a coffee table, and you
26:10
Speaker 2: got a dog and you leave the room, I mean,
26:12
Speaker 2: are you trusting the pet not to eat the steak
26:14
Speaker 2: your dog not to do it? I mean, in that case,
26:18
Speaker 2: maybe you trust your partner not to eat your steak first.
26:20
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I think that's a weird question.
26:22
Speaker 2: When you say you trust them more than your partner,
26:25
Speaker 2: it doesn't sound like a good thing for anybody involved,
26:28
Speaker 2: even the pet. That'll do it For this Wednesday edition
