Latest / The Wes Carroll Morning Show / AI Could Have a Significant Impact on the Midterms
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Thursday morning, sixteenth day of April. I'm West Thanks for
- 0:16Speaker 2: joining me. As I am recording, there's a lot of
- 0:23Speaker 2: extra pressure building in the straight of hor moves Iran
- 0:30Speaker 2: saying what some have already stated, Hey, those blockade ships
- 0:36Speaker 2: are in range. So as I'm recording this, nothing's happened yet,
- 0:44Speaker 2: but we're keeping an eye on it. It's one of
- 0:47Speaker 2: the things about recording a show like this is you
- 0:51Speaker 2: can address it, you can talk about it, but by
- 0:53Speaker 2: the time it's released, who knows. So obviously all eyes
- 0:59Speaker 2: are on that situation. And the President still says that
- 1:04Speaker 2: we're getting close to ending that war, ending that conflict.
- 1:09Speaker 2: We've already learned that even when we have a ceasefire,
- 1:14Speaker 2: it takes time, apparently for everyone to find out the
- 1:19Speaker 2: ceasefire has happened. So just because a ceasefire or even
- 1:25Speaker 2: some sort of an end is drawn up doesn't mean
- 1:30Speaker 2: that you're not going to still have people making, you know,
- 1:34Speaker 2: attacks or crazy decisions. And obviously these ships understand where
- 1:42Speaker 2: they are and what risk is there. So it's what
- 1:47Speaker 2: our military does. You know, they put their lives out there,
- 1:51Speaker 2: They put their lives on the line, and we obviously
- 1:55Speaker 2: pray for them and hope that this is all resolved
- 1:57Speaker 2: before anything crazy happens. That would be a significant escalation
- 2:06Speaker 2: if something were to happen. So but like I said,
- 2:09Speaker 2: as of recording, nothing has happened, and we just are
- 2:12Speaker 2: praying for our troops as always and those that are
- 2:15Speaker 2: really out there in a dangerous situation.
- 2:20Speaker 3: I want to talk today about AI.
- 2:25Speaker 1: And.
- 2:27Speaker 2: We're not the only people that are going to be
- 2:28Speaker 2: talking about AI today, but I feel like there's a
- 2:31Speaker 2: little extra umph to go with with AI right now
- 2:36Speaker 2: as the growing use of the technology is there. I
- 2:47Speaker 2: talked to a friend the other day who was just
- 2:49Speaker 2: kind of saying, hey, I can see some of the
- 2:52Speaker 2: great benefits in it, and was talking about it and
- 2:56Speaker 2: completely understandable. It's what you know, everybody's talking about out
- 3:00Speaker 2: with it. There are a few of us that work
- 3:02Speaker 2: in industries or businesses or.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Careers where it's.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Had a negative impact already and it will continue to
- 3:11Speaker 2: have a negative impact. Some of us have dodged it
- 3:18Speaker 2: thus far, and at least as far as we know,
- 3:23Speaker 2: and some in this industry that I'm in have not.
- 3:28Speaker 2: I've got a number of friends who they specifically do
- 3:31Speaker 2: voice work. Their voice work productivity is down, the number
- 3:37Speaker 2: of clients, the number of stations maybe that they work with,
- 3:40Speaker 2: number of commercials that.
- 3:42Speaker 3: They're hired to do. And it stinks.
- 3:47Speaker 2: I mean, that's the only way to put it from
- 3:49Speaker 2: this side of it is that it really does stink.
- 3:51Speaker 2: And I would just say I understand for those people
- 3:55Speaker 2: who are looking to have some sort of a production
- 4:01Speaker 2: or commercial work done that it's tempting to go the
- 4:07Speaker 2: cheap and easy route. I don't know that anybody is
- 4:11Speaker 2: going to fault you for that. All that I would
- 4:15Speaker 2: ask from this side of it is to consider, maybe,
- 4:18Speaker 2: you know, going to a familiar voice for your area,
- 4:22Speaker 2: a familiar voice for your brand, a familiar voice for
- 4:27Speaker 2: your business, whatever it is, if that is something that
- 4:31Speaker 2: you're able to do. And I say that as someone
- 4:35Speaker 2: who has definitely gone for, you know, a business that
- 4:42Speaker 2: is a little cheaper than maybe the you know, hometown
- 4:48Speaker 2: version of that business. I can't pretend that I haven't.
- 4:52Speaker 2: And this is just you know, full disclosure with it.
- 4:58Speaker 2: The ease of shopping somewhere like Walmart is It certainly
- 5:08Speaker 2: was easier than shopping at sort of a hometown grocery
- 5:11Speaker 2: store or department store. So it's not unlike that situation.
- 5:19Speaker 2: It's very similar to that. My first job as a
- 5:25Speaker 2: teenager when I was in high school was working in
- 5:27Speaker 2: a grocery store, and I worked in a grocery store
- 5:30Speaker 2: for several years. I loved my experience there. Was it
- 5:36Speaker 2: a great job. Certainly, not every day. There were some
- 5:43Speaker 2: days where I really enjoyed it. The people that I
- 5:45Speaker 2: worked with, the friendships, the bonds and things that we had,
- 5:49Speaker 2: kind of being in that particular those trenches, if you will,
- 5:54Speaker 2: during the really busy days. I don't know if that's
- 5:58Speaker 2: PC anymore, but I don't care. You're probably not supposed
- 6:01Speaker 2: to say trenches. You're probably not supposed to in any
- 6:03Speaker 2: way say oh, we you know, we had PTSD after,
- 6:07Speaker 2: you know, like Black Friday or whatever. Probably not supposed
- 6:10Speaker 2: to say that, And it's no disrespect intended. It's just
- 6:13Speaker 2: a comparison that gets made sometimes, and you really do.
- 6:16Speaker 2: When you're working with a group of people in a
- 6:19Speaker 2: circumstance like that, you feel like you're in the trenches.
- 6:22Speaker 2: You're you're in there doing the job, and sometimes under
- 6:26Speaker 2: some extreme circumstances. Sometimes it's those big sale days. Sometimes
- 6:30Speaker 2: it's you know, holidays, whatever it was. I've shared before
- 6:35Speaker 2: having to work on Thanksgiving Day once and you know,
- 6:40Speaker 2: every twenty to thirty minutes, maybe a customer would come
- 6:44Speaker 2: in and this was a large store that I worked in,
- 6:47Speaker 2: and someone would come in and buy, you know, a
- 6:50Speaker 2: yam or something, not one, a couple of yams. They
- 6:55Speaker 2: come in for their yams, and then they say, oh,
- 6:57Speaker 2: too bad, you guys have to work today, And we're like,
- 6:59Speaker 2: you're the reason. Don't it's don't tell me too bad,
- 7:04Speaker 2: You're the reason. But I was getting paid double that day,
- 7:08Speaker 2: I think, so, you know, whatever, it's stunk having to
- 7:11Speaker 2: be there, but you know, I didn't have to be
- 7:13Speaker 2: there on Christmas. That's the way I looked at it.
- 7:16Speaker 2: At least we weren't going to open on Christmas.
- 7:18Speaker 3: So I did that and I worked that job.
- 7:21Speaker 2: I worked that career for a while, and ultimately I
- 7:26Speaker 2: found radio really found me. Honestly, I didn't. Radio was
- 7:30Speaker 2: not my first intention. I sort of backed into that.
- 7:34Speaker 2: I was working. I found TV, and then radio found
- 7:37Speaker 2: me is the way it happened. And you know, I
- 7:41Speaker 2: moved on from that, but for a long time there
- 7:45Speaker 2: were things that I had sort of instilled in me
- 7:47Speaker 2: as a creed. You know, I wasn't going to use
- 7:49Speaker 2: a self checkout line. I do it all the time now.
- 7:53Speaker 2: I always hated using it because I thought, well, and
- 7:56Speaker 2: that's a version sort of of an automation or an
- 7:58Speaker 2: AI or whatever, you know, as far as jobs go.
- 8:03Speaker 2: And then I got to a point. I think COVID
- 8:05Speaker 2: was the thing that finally turned me around on it,
- 8:07Speaker 2: because it was like, you know, it's just easier when
- 8:10Speaker 2: you're touching your own things in your own self checkout.
- 8:13Speaker 2: And I'm not against going to a cashier. I just
- 8:17Speaker 2: kind of prefer handling my things. I bag my things
- 8:20Speaker 2: up the way I was trained to do it when
- 8:21Speaker 2: I had my job in grocery. So I just kind
- 8:27Speaker 2: of like touching my own things and handling my own
- 8:29Speaker 2: stuff and packing my bags and then getting out of there.
- 8:33Speaker 2: That's my preference for that. But it's a type of
- 8:38Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. So I'm not judging you. I'm
- 8:41Speaker 2: not telling you that you shouldn't want to go to
- 8:43Speaker 2: a Walmart or Amazon or those things. And I know
- 8:46Speaker 2: there's hundreds of reasons not to. I get it. And
- 8:52Speaker 2: I'm not telling you that you can't use AI, and
- 8:55Speaker 2: I'm not telling you that you should not use AI.
- 8:57Speaker 2: I'm just asking maybe just consider it. Just consider maybe
- 9:01Speaker 2: going to someone who's familiar or someone who can do
- 9:06Speaker 2: the job for you and you don't have to deal
- 9:08Speaker 2: with some of the hiccups and things that come with AI.
- 9:11Speaker 2: And I'm not trashing AI. I see where AI is heading.
- 9:16Speaker 2: I've used AI for a number of things, nothing to
- 9:20Speaker 2: do with this show or nothing to do with you.
- 9:25Speaker 2: My podcast company that I own, nothing to do with that,
- 9:30Speaker 2: but I could see where in the future it may
- 9:35Speaker 2: be necessary. But what you hear here is all you know.
- 9:40Speaker 2: Live voices on all of my shows. None of them
- 9:43Speaker 2: are fake. And I have a fantastic voice over voice
- 9:51Speaker 2: talent in Joey Williams that you hear at the beginning
- 9:55Speaker 2: of this show. I also have my good friend Amanda Edwards,
- 9:58Speaker 2: who is a voice on one of them other shows.
- 10:01Speaker 2: Those are real people, Okay. I've got a music provided
- 10:07Speaker 2: by actual musicians and singers. Graham Hobson is one of those.
- 10:12Speaker 2: He does the theme for the Mate of Stars podcast.
- 10:15Speaker 2: And then I've got a show that has you know,
- 10:19Speaker 2: an actual blues guitarist on it in my MQLN podcast,
- 10:23Speaker 2: and you know that's someone that I paid to make
- 10:26Speaker 2: that for me. So I'm telling you from that perspective,
- 10:29Speaker 2: I am not This is not something an area that
- 10:32Speaker 2: I'm a hypocrite on, but this is directly in the industry.
- 10:35Speaker 2: This is like shopping in the store where you work.
- 10:37Speaker 2: So that's the way I treat that. But anyway, so
- 10:40Speaker 2: I say all of that to just say, look, I
- 10:42Speaker 2: get it. AI is there's a lot of uses for it. Primarily,
- 10:46Speaker 2: it does seem that people are using it for ridiculous things.
- 10:50Speaker 2: I know people are being asked to use it at work.
- 10:52Speaker 2: They're being expected like there's a high expectation to do
- 10:57Speaker 2: more work because of AI, and people are saying, well,
- 11:00Speaker 2: it makes some things easier, but it's adding more to
- 11:03Speaker 2: my plate. It's making it more difficult to do my
- 11:05Speaker 2: job because I have more to do and I'm having
- 11:10Speaker 2: to navigate through some of the things that are still
- 11:16Speaker 2: difficult with AI. I can see for resumes. I can
- 11:20Speaker 2: see for now, and the people who make resumes for
- 11:23Speaker 2: a living would probably say, hey, not so fast. I've
- 11:27Speaker 2: taught my kids how to not do their homework with it,
- 11:30Speaker 2: but ways to study with it, ways to maybe dive
- 11:34Speaker 2: into a topic that they're going over at school from
- 11:37Speaker 2: a different perspective. Again, not to use it to do
- 11:41Speaker 2: their homework, using it for alternative alternate ways to study
- 11:46Speaker 2: or to you know, maybe approach breaking down a poem
- 11:53Speaker 2: or a story or you know, it's not I'm not
- 11:56Speaker 2: telling them very carefully. You're not looking for answers. You
- 12:00Speaker 2: are looking for, you know, alternatives to your take on it,
- 12:04Speaker 2: to see kind of you know, what you're missing, glossing
- 12:09Speaker 2: over things in a general way, and there are benefits
- 12:11Speaker 2: to that. Let be clear, My kids do not use
- 12:14Speaker 2: it to do their homework, but I could. I've got
- 12:18Speaker 2: some tips for studying for certain things that I've picked
- 12:22Speaker 2: up from it.
- 12:22Speaker 3: And I never used it while I was in school because.
- 12:25Speaker 2: It wasn't around yet. So why so much talk about AI?
- 12:28Speaker 2: And I'm just talking about it now because there is
- 12:31Speaker 2: a new information on this pack and it's called Leading
- 12:44Speaker 2: the Future and it is a pro AI super pack
- 12:49Speaker 2: and they call themselves bipartisan.
- 12:51Speaker 3: They have.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Representation on both sides of the aisle and they have
- 12:57Speaker 2: supported both Republican candidates and Democrat candidates Sam Lecardo, Josh Gotheimer,
- 13:10Speaker 2: Chris Gober, Jessica Steinman, two Democrats, two Republicans in that order,
- 13:17Speaker 2: and they basically have leadership. That is, they have Zach Moffatt,
- 13:22Speaker 2: who is a Republican strategist. They have Josh Vlasto, who
- 13:29Speaker 2: worked as advisor for Democrats so with I guess worked
- 13:36Speaker 2: with the Schumer and Cuomo in the past. So they
- 13:41Speaker 2: fit at least the marks when it comes to representation
- 13:46Speaker 2: on both sides. Now, whether they're genuinely down the middle,
- 13:50Speaker 2: I haven't really done a dig deep dive into to that.
- 13:53Speaker 2: I can just tell you this is as much research
- 13:56Speaker 2: as I've got now that I used AI, by the way,
- 14:02Speaker 2: not intentionally, but some of what I researched did provide
- 14:06Speaker 2: some AI answers, so you know, full disclosure there. And
- 14:10Speaker 2: when I say I don't use it for this show,
- 14:11Speaker 2: I don't necessarily mean. I mean I haven't really used
- 14:14Speaker 2: it intentionally for content. I did for this story because
- 14:16Speaker 2: I thought it was funny. So here's why this is
- 14:20Speaker 2: coming up is because this super pack is expected and
- 14:26Speaker 2: others like it are expected to have a significant impact
- 14:30Speaker 2: on the midterms and last year, I guess they had
- 14:37Speaker 2: raised one hundred and twenty five million dollars for candidates
- 14:41Speaker 2: that are pushing forward with tech initiatives, specifically AI. I mean,
- 14:48Speaker 2: that's what they're hoping for, and they I guess this year,
- 14:54Speaker 2: I guess, well, adding to last year's one hundred and
- 14:56Speaker 2: twenty five, this year, I guess they've added another fifteen
- 14:59Speaker 2: million to it. So I guess in a year and
- 15:01Speaker 2: a half, they're a one hundred and forty million dollars
- 15:06Speaker 2: if if I'm doing the math right on that, so yes,
- 15:09Speaker 2: I could feed that into my AI and getting So
- 15:11Speaker 2: what I'm getting at is this is certainly going to
- 15:16Speaker 2: not only have an effect on the way elections work.
- 15:18Speaker 2: They're going to have an effect on the way campaigns
- 15:21Speaker 2: maybe are run, some of the social media that happens
- 15:24Speaker 2: on campaigns, but they're also going to have an impact
- 15:29Speaker 2: on the actual advertising and on strategies as it comes
- 15:36Speaker 2: to the midterm elections. This is now another way that
- 15:40Speaker 2: AI will be impacting our lives. And this is just
- 15:44Speaker 2: a taste. This is just the beginning of where this
- 15:47Speaker 2: is going. In two more years we'll get to the
- 15:51Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight presidential election. You can bet AI will
- 15:55Speaker 2: have a much bigger role in that election, and then
- 15:58Speaker 2: of course elects moving forward. So we're just at the beginning,
- 16:03Speaker 2: and this is where we are in twenty twenty six
- 16:07Speaker 2: with AI and one hundred and forty million dollars is
- 16:11Speaker 2: just the beginning for this leading the future super pac
- 16:16Speaker 2: and that revenue is only going to grow, especially as
- 16:21Speaker 2: word of this super pac is really starting to get
- 16:24Speaker 2: out and more and more people are saying, Hey, I
- 16:27Speaker 2: want to get in with technology and with AI now,
- 16:32Speaker 2: and this is an opportunity for people to do that.
- 16:34Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca
- 16:37Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and
- 16:42Speaker 2: future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of
- 16:48Speaker 2: all ages. I mean, they do it for school age
- 16:51Speaker 2: kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space
- 16:53Speaker 2: Science Center, but they also do it through their university
- 16:56Speaker 2: programs where you can learn engineering, a strong physics, and
- 17:01Speaker 2: the careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now.
- 17:06Speaker 2: And you can learn more about maybe getting your degree
- 17:10Speaker 2: on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also
- 17:16Speaker 2: check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this
- 17:19Speaker 2: incredible collaboration that they do with the schwob School of
- 17:24Speaker 2: Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
- 17:27Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
- 17:31Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
- 17:33Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
- 17:37Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
- 17:42Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
- 17:46Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
- 17:50Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
- 17:54Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
- 17:57Speaker 2: Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
- 18:00Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
- 18:04Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
- 18:07Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events.
- 18:10Speaker 2: Also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean
- 18:14Speaker 2: Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just
- 18:19Speaker 2: remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science
- 18:23Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
- 18:27Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage
- 18:30Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
- 18:36Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
- 18:40Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
- 18:43Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
- 18:47Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
- 18:50Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
- 18:52Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 18:55Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 18:59Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 19:01Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 19:04Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 19:07Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
- 19:11Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes
- 19:15Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 19:18Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 19:20Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 19:23Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 19:27Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 19:29Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 19:32Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
- 19:34Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 19:36Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 19:39Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 19:42Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 19:44Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
- 19:47Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
- 19:51Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six very five eight forty five
- 19:53Speaker 2: hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred
- 19:57Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com, West Carroll Morning Show right after
- 20:01Speaker 2: the break Well, there's a new trend for gen Z
- 20:13Speaker 2: and it relates to this very real situation. A lot
- 20:17Speaker 2: of people are in that they can't afford a house,
- 20:22Speaker 2: rents high. They'd like to buy a house, but they're
- 20:26Speaker 2: not in a position to do that. Well, apparently gen
- 20:30Speaker 2: Z is now really diving into this concept of buying
- 20:33Speaker 2: a home with friends. So basically, instead of waiting until
- 20:40Speaker 2: they get married or get into a serious relationship, or
- 20:45Speaker 2: trying to buy a house all by yourself, a lot
- 20:47Speaker 2: of young adults pulling money with close friends to afford
- 20:50Speaker 2: a place sooner, split up costs and start building some
- 20:52Speaker 2: equity with that said, co buying does come with some risks,
- 20:56Speaker 2: Oh yeah, legal financial, emotional risks, especially if life plans
- 21:00Speaker 2: change or relationships strain. Experts say it's essential that legal
- 21:06Speaker 2: contracts are air tight and expectations and exit plans are
- 21:10Speaker 2: clearly spelled out beforehand. Yes, and if you know people
- 21:18Speaker 2: who think I would like to live on a commune,
- 21:22Speaker 2: you know there's people that do that. I've got friends
- 21:24Speaker 2: that live on a commune and it's with family.
- 21:29Speaker 3: But I had to ask.
- 21:31Speaker 2: I'm also friends with one of the children in the family.
- 21:34Speaker 2: Who is I say children young adult in the family,
- 21:37Speaker 2: And I just ask, like, you just be honest with me,
- 21:40Speaker 2: like the infighting happens right, Oh yeah, yeah, while you're
- 21:44Speaker 2: living in that commune together. It all sounds great and
- 21:47Speaker 2: they love each other. It's a great family. I know
- 21:50Speaker 2: that they do. But this was just it's just a reality.
- 21:53Speaker 2: So that would also be a scenario where you better
- 21:56Speaker 2: have things air tight and exit plans definitely need to
- 22:00Speaker 2: be considered. The case for a four day work week
- 22:05Speaker 2: is gaining traction science backing up what most people already know.
- 22:10Speaker 2: Three day weekends make us better humans. Research shows that
- 22:13Speaker 2: having an extra day off improves physical help by reducing
- 22:18Speaker 2: our stress improving our sleep and lowering risks tied to overwork,
- 22:22Speaker 2: like heart disease and burnout. Mentally, people are happier, more patient,
- 22:27Speaker 2: emotionally sharper when they are well rested, which means fewer conflicts,
- 22:32Speaker 2: better social interactions. And they say long weekends make people
- 22:36Speaker 2: more productive once they return to work, not less productive,
- 22:40Speaker 2: because they're coming back a little more charged instead of depleted.
- 22:45Speaker 2: These are all good reasons for the three day weekend.
- 22:50Speaker 2: I just I got questions about how it would work
- 22:54Speaker 2: with a four day work week and holidays. Is the
- 22:59Speaker 2: four day work week? Is it Monday through Thursday? And
- 23:01Speaker 2: then you have Fridays off? That throws everything off with
- 23:05Speaker 2: the whole you know, thank god it's Friday. All that
- 23:09Speaker 2: gets blown up. So that doesn't work. Do you make
- 23:12Speaker 2: the four day work week Tuesday through Friday and you
- 23:16Speaker 2: always get Monday off? And then what do you do
- 23:17Speaker 2: about holidays? They're traditionally on Mondays? Do you just not
- 23:20Speaker 2: get the holidays? You've already got the holiday. I don't know.
- 23:23Speaker 2: These are the ways I think about it. The other
- 23:26Speaker 2: part of this, and I just I want to say this,
- 23:28Speaker 2: and I have stressed before. I am I am no
- 23:31Speaker 2: expert in this field. Okay, I am, I am. I
- 23:34Speaker 2: am not any sort of a you know, labor expert.
- 23:39Speaker 2: I know a lot about labor day because of Labor
- 23:41Speaker 2: Day weekend and dragon Con, but I don't know a
- 23:43Speaker 2: lot about the labor you know, the way things are
- 23:49Speaker 2: broken down, the way. I can't pretend to be an
- 23:52Speaker 2: expert on these areas. But it's the most American thing now,
- 23:59Speaker 2: really the world thing now, the Internet thing is just
- 24:02Speaker 2: have an opinion, even if you're not an expert. But
- 24:04Speaker 2: I've been saying this for a few years now and
- 24:07Speaker 2: stressing making sure that I have that qualifier out there
- 24:11Speaker 2: that I am not an expert on this, and it'll
- 24:13Speaker 2: be clear to anybody who is that I'm not an
- 24:16Speaker 2: expert on it. But my question is this idea of
- 24:20Speaker 2: I think we could have a three day work week,
- 24:23Speaker 2: you know, cut the work week down to twenty one hours.
- 24:27Speaker 2: All the people that are saying that, you know, minimum
- 24:30Speaker 2: wage should be twenty twenty five dollars an hour or whatever.
- 24:34Speaker 2: You can get more more done, and you know, you
- 24:37Speaker 2: get your work done in twenty one hours, and then
- 24:39Speaker 2: you have more time off. You got four a four
- 24:41Speaker 2: day weekend every week and then if you wanted to
- 24:45Speaker 2: get a second job, it's another twenty one hours, and
- 24:48Speaker 2: that would be a full time gig at twenty one.
- 24:50Speaker 2: If you want to get a second job, then you
- 24:52Speaker 2: could work you know, forty two hours.
- 24:55Speaker 3: And you could you know, then you just have a
- 24:56Speaker 3: one day weekend. You're not an expert, but that's just
- 25:01Speaker 3: my thoughts on it.
- 25:02Speaker 2: I think the twenty one hour work week, the three day,
- 25:05Speaker 2: twenty one hour work week, would be the way to go.
- 25:07Speaker 2: That's what I think. You know, just get in there,
- 25:11Speaker 2: you get the job, you get three three days, you
- 25:14Speaker 2: do the work, and then you're done. And then you know,
- 25:18Speaker 2: that way people can afford to bump up the minimum wage.
- 25:21Speaker 3: Hey did you see that?
- 25:23Speaker 2: The uh, the whole chocolate.
- 25:27Speaker 3: Pringles crazes back.
- 25:30Speaker 2: I mean, with all the dumb stuff that's come from
- 25:32Speaker 2: social media, I think the chocolate Pringles might be one
- 25:37Speaker 2: of the good.
- 25:38Speaker 3: Ones to come out of it.
- 25:39Speaker 2: So the idea, of course, is you pour melted chocolate
- 25:43Speaker 2: into a Pringles tube and then you let it cool.
- 25:48Speaker 2: It sets it cools, and then you start peeling away
- 25:50Speaker 2: cardboard and then you get the solid chocolate Pringles block
- 25:54Speaker 2: that you can slice up and you can eat. It's
- 25:56Speaker 2: just like a hunk of Pringles in chocolate, and it's
- 26:01Speaker 2: exactly what you think it is. It's salty, it's sweet.
- 26:05Speaker 2: I haven't eaten it, but you know it looks delicious.
- 26:08Speaker 2: That's all I can say. So, uh, you know, get
- 26:11Speaker 2: you some chocolate, get you some pringles, and knock yourself out.
- 26:15Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Thursday edition of the show.
