- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Monday morning, third day of March. I'm Wes, Thanks for
- 0:14Speaker 2: joining me.
- 0:16Speaker 3: Had a week.
- 0:19Speaker 2: I've talked a little bit about the neck procedure that
- 0:22Speaker 2: I had done RFA, and it's a game changer when
- 0:31Speaker 2: it comes to some of the pain that I've been
- 0:33Speaker 2: experiencing in my neck with arthritis.
- 0:38Speaker 3: They had to do.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Two blocks in my neck to test to make sure
- 0:43Speaker 2: that they knew exactly where the pain was coming from
- 0:49Speaker 2: and when they were able to decide which nerves that
- 0:52Speaker 2: led them to the ability to do this RFA procedure,
- 0:55Speaker 2: which allowed them to effectively, you know, deaden those nerves,
- 1:00Speaker 2: you know, fry them, kill them whatever, temporarily. They always
- 1:04Speaker 2: heal back eventually. But it's been a game changer as
- 1:07Speaker 2: far as the specific pain that I went in for.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Still a little soreness from the procedure that I've been
- 1:16Speaker 2: dealing with, but not dealing with the migrain caliber headaches
- 1:22Speaker 2: that I was getting up into my head on from
- 1:26Speaker 2: the nerve that goes up behind your ear. I just
- 1:29Speaker 2: always assumed I was having migraines. I didn't know it
- 1:32Speaker 2: was from arthritis. I didn't know it was from bone
- 1:36Speaker 2: spurs in my neck and those sorts of things. So anyway,
- 1:40Speaker 2: I did that procedure, and I'm still dealing with a
- 1:43Speaker 2: little bit of the stiffness and soreness that comes with
- 1:45Speaker 2: having the RFA, but it's gradually doing what it's supposed
- 1:49Speaker 2: to do with the healing and leading me to a
- 1:52Speaker 2: point where I'll be done with those headaches and that
- 1:55Speaker 2: other pain. So my thinking at that point, knowing that
- 1:59Speaker 2: I was probably going to be dealing with a little
- 2:00Speaker 2: bit of that this weekend, and knowing we didn't have
- 2:02Speaker 2: a lot on the calendar, was you know, I did
- 2:05Speaker 2: turn fifty.
- 2:06Speaker 3: I told you that.
- 2:08Speaker 2: And I don't know about you, but I'm terrified of
- 2:14Speaker 2: the idea of getting shingles. I know several people who've
- 2:16Speaker 2: had shingles and they say it's awful.
- 2:18Speaker 3: I don't know a.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Single person who's had shingles and says it's not that bad.
- 2:23Speaker 3: I mean, not one. Maybe you have, and maybe.
- 2:26Speaker 2: That was your experience with shingles. I haven't heard that
- 2:29Speaker 2: from anyone that I know that had shingles. So I
- 2:33Speaker 2: didn't want shingles. I don't want shingles. I don't want
- 2:36Speaker 2: anything to do with it. So once turned fifty, that's
- 2:38Speaker 2: when they tell you it's time to get vaccinated for shingles. Now,
- 2:43Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of people who are a
- 2:45Speaker 2: little iffy on the vaccines.
- 2:47Speaker 3: These days, but I'm going to tell you this.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Is one that I was prepared to do, and I
- 2:53Speaker 2: went in and got it taken care of on Friday.
- 2:56Speaker 2: My thinking, of course, was it's not one hundred percent
- 3:01Speaker 2: because of some stiffness and soreness in my neck, and
- 3:05Speaker 2: I wasn't expecting to be, you know, overly active this weekend.
- 3:09Speaker 2: So I thought, well, I can do this shingles vaccine
- 3:12Speaker 2: because everybody says, you know, you feel a little blah
- 3:15Speaker 2: for a couple of days, that's what you're going to get.
- 3:17Speaker 2: At the very least, you're going to get some you know,
- 3:20Speaker 2: possibly flu like symptoms and things. And I've heard a
- 3:24Speaker 2: few people say, hey, that's it's not fun really, you know,
- 3:28Speaker 2: kick my butt and those sorts of things. So I thought, well,
- 3:30Speaker 2: this is the time to get it done. Just you know,
- 3:34Speaker 2: I'm My mindset is often that if I have to
- 3:38Speaker 2: be sick, if I'm physically able to do some sort
- 3:42Speaker 2: of an activity, that I don't really want to do.
- 3:45Speaker 3: I would rather do that activity.
- 3:47Speaker 2: While I'm sick, and in that way, when I'm feeling
- 3:51Speaker 2: well again, I don't have to do the activity that
- 3:53Speaker 2: I don't really want to do anyway. For example, I
- 3:56Speaker 2: had a friend who was swinging by at one of
- 3:58Speaker 2: the periods of time that I had COVID a while
- 4:00Speaker 2: bag and when she arrived, I was doing yard work.
- 4:07Speaker 2: I was outside mowing my grass and she's like, what
- 4:10Speaker 2: are you doing? She was with her her dad, what
- 4:13Speaker 2: are you doing? Why are you doing yard work? And
- 4:15Speaker 2: I was like, cause I don't really want to do
- 4:17Speaker 2: yard work, and I'm already sick, so let's get all
- 4:21Speaker 2: this done. That way, when I feel better, I won't
- 4:23Speaker 2: then have to do yard work. That's my thinking. So
- 4:27Speaker 2: that was kind of my thinking with doing the shingles vaccine.
- 4:30Speaker 2: You know, you double up on kind of feeling blah
- 4:32Speaker 2: in general, and then on top of that I did
- 4:35Speaker 2: I did some yard work over the weekend, so I.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Tripled down on the blah.
- 4:41Speaker 2: One of those yard work projects that you're like, I
- 4:44Speaker 2: need to trim this. It's gotten way out of hand.
- 4:47Speaker 2: I need to deal with this, and it's going to
- 4:48Speaker 2: take chainsaws and things, and you know, swallowed that frog,
- 4:55Speaker 2: got that project on and survived the weekend.
- 4:59Speaker 3: So that's what I did. That was my weekend.
- 5:02Speaker 2: I hope your starts in March was as action packed
- 5:06Speaker 2: as mine, maybe with less feeling blow and having neck
- 5:12Speaker 2: pain and having to you know, cut down trees and stuff.
- 5:16Speaker 2: One of the other reasons to get the vaccine while
- 5:19Speaker 2: I'm having the neck issue is the two cures for
- 5:24Speaker 2: the symptoms. This is exactly the same thing. Take ibuprofen.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Ibuprofile will help with the sort of flu like symptoms
- 5:32Speaker 2: and help with the sore neck, and it helps from
- 5:35Speaker 2: any pain that you got while you're cutting down trees.
- 5:39Speaker 2: So it was a win win win in that regard.
- 5:40Speaker 2: I only had to take one pill for all of
- 5:43Speaker 2: those things.
- 5:44Speaker 3: So that was my weekend.
- 5:46Speaker 2: But we're here in this first workday of the month
- 5:50Speaker 2: of March. Anything happened on Friday of interest that people
- 5:54Speaker 2: talked about all weekend. Oh yeah, there was a meeting
- 5:56Speaker 2: in the Oval office and the Ukrainian President Zelensky showed
- 6:03Speaker 2: up and I'm gonna be just blunt here, made an
- 6:07Speaker 2: ass of himself. This is a weird. It's a weird
- 6:12Speaker 2: turn that this war has taken. And look, I can't
- 6:17Speaker 2: judge his motives. I think he's he's got whatever his
- 6:20Speaker 2: intentions are, whatever reason that he's he's decided to take
- 6:24Speaker 2: this turn. It was an odd timing at the very
- 6:30Speaker 2: least for all of this. And you know, when that
- 6:34Speaker 2: war started, I think everybody unanimously was fully behind Ukraine.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Nobody was looking at Ukraine being invaded by Russia and
- 6:43Speaker 2: attacked by Russia and said, you know, not a whole
- 6:46Speaker 2: lot of people in the US that were on team Russia.
- 6:50Speaker 3: Right.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Some people probably got accused of it, but you know,
- 6:54Speaker 2: that's just politics in America. We don't like something, we
- 6:58Speaker 2: accuse it of doing something bad or on the wrong
- 7:00Speaker 2: side of things.
- 7:02Speaker 3: That's what we do.
- 7:03Speaker 2: As time has gone on, and you know, three hundred
- 7:06Speaker 2: and fifty billion dollars of American money given to Ukraine
- 7:10Speaker 2: and in support, I think there's been a lot of
- 7:14Speaker 2: Americans who have started to get onto the side of like,
- 7:17Speaker 2: how much are we putting into this? What is the
- 7:21Speaker 2: what is the endgame here? This is not a winnable
- 7:23Speaker 2: war for Ukraine. They've done a great job hanging on, right,
- 7:29Speaker 2: They've done a great job fighting back and doing their thing.
- 7:32Speaker 2: Things started to heat up a little bit when it
- 7:34Speaker 2: came to the diplomacy of all of it. As you know,
- 7:37Speaker 2: President Trump pointing out Zelenski's hasn't been doing elections as
- 7:44Speaker 2: have been scheduled to happen in his country, and he
- 7:48Speaker 2: hasn't done that because he says they're in a state
- 7:50Speaker 2: of emergency. So that would be that side of the argument.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Remember when.
- 7:59Speaker 2: During the twenty twenty election, when we had a lot
- 8:04Speaker 2: of folks on the left that said Trump is not
- 8:06Speaker 2: going to allow an election to take place. He will
- 8:10Speaker 2: declare a state of emergency and make sure that he
- 8:13Speaker 2: can stay president as long as possible, and he will
- 8:16Speaker 2: be a dictator when he does this. This was from
- 8:21Speaker 2: the left in twenty twenty. Did I say twenty twenty
- 8:24Speaker 2: before I met twenty twent. If I didn't say twenty,
- 8:25Speaker 2: I may have said twenty, I say two thousand.
- 8:28Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 8:28Speaker 2: You know what I meant twenty twenty. And that was
- 8:32Speaker 2: the accusation that before anything even happened, there was no
- 8:36Speaker 2: state of emergency declared. I mean there were early in
- 8:39Speaker 2: the pandemic, but nothing that stopped the election from happening.
- 8:43Speaker 2: And of course folks on the left were like, we
- 8:44Speaker 2: got to do this election while the pandemic's going on,
- 8:46Speaker 2: because we got to, you know, make sure that we're
- 8:49Speaker 2: getting these mail in tubs of mail in ballots that
- 8:52Speaker 2: were shuffling around and moving to different places.
- 8:54Speaker 1: So.
- 8:56Speaker 2: Not that anything suspicious was happening. So that was a
- 9:01Speaker 2: big part of their strategy. So if he had done
- 9:03Speaker 2: delayed the election until the pandemic had calmed down, that
- 9:07Speaker 2: would have really had a big impact on how things
- 9:09Speaker 2: turned out, wasn't it. But anyway, they accused him of intending.
- 9:14Speaker 3: To be a dictator and a tyrant.
- 9:17Speaker 2: And then you know that's what's going on in Ukraine.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Zelensky hasn't had his because they're in a state of emergency,
- 9:23Speaker 2: and Trump just basically pulled out the same terminology and said, hey,
- 9:28Speaker 2: you don't let the people decide who the leader is.
- 9:30Speaker 2: And you got people there saying they're ready for you
- 9:32Speaker 2: to go, and you don't want to go. It's kind
- 9:35Speaker 2: of dictator ish, isn't it, Which of course led to
- 9:38Speaker 2: some Americans that just don't like Trump in general to
- 9:41Speaker 2: wave their fist in the air and say, ah, look
- 9:44Speaker 2: at Trump, he is going after Zelenski uh, Zelensky is a.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Hero, he's our guy. How far do we go?
- 9:54Speaker 2: How far do we go with someone in that situation?
- 9:56Speaker 2: What are they capable of doing before we decide maybe
- 10:00Speaker 2: they're not who we thought they were. And I'll be honest,
- 10:05Speaker 2: I'm unlike apparently everybody in my social media feeds over
- 10:08Speaker 2: the weekend, I'm not an expert on Zelensky. I don't
- 10:14Speaker 2: know everything there is to know about the guy.
- 10:16Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Exactly where things are in Ukraine. I've seen stories of
- 10:23Speaker 2: people that have been locked up for saying that they're
- 10:25Speaker 2: ready for the war to end and basically Zelensky to
- 10:29Speaker 2: move aside. I've seen those posts. I've seen videos of
- 10:32Speaker 2: people saying they've been accused of being you know, pro
- 10:36Speaker 2: Russia agents, just for saying, look, we're ready for the
- 10:41Speaker 2: bombs to stop, We're ready for the bloodshed to end.
- 10:45Speaker 2: We just want this to end. And you know, our
- 10:48Speaker 2: country has been in cahoots with prior US presidents ones
- 10:55Speaker 2: named Biden and their family members, and.
- 10:58Speaker 3: We know all of that.
- 11:00Speaker 2: We have a c you know, it's one of those
- 11:01Speaker 2: things where it's you know, we've seen we've got the tape,
- 11:06Speaker 2: we've seen the video of Joe Biden talking about quid
- 11:10Speaker 2: pro quo with leadership in Ukraine and trying to get
- 11:14Speaker 2: rid of prosecutors that were going after his son.
- 11:17Speaker 3: All of that is documented.
- 11:19Speaker 2: And by the way, it's not a coincidence that during
- 11:23Speaker 2: his time as vice president, up until the day he
- 11:26Speaker 2: walked out the door. You know, we had all these
- 11:28Speaker 2: pardons in place for his family. That wasn't a coincidence.
- 11:33Speaker 2: What are they going to dig into and find in
- 11:35Speaker 2: there when you get an attorney general that's actually gonna,
- 11:39Speaker 2: you know, try to uncover some of this. So the
- 11:42Speaker 2: concerns were there at least enough to say, maybe we
- 11:45Speaker 2: need to throw these pardons out here without anyone So
- 11:49Speaker 2: how far do we allow that to go for the
- 11:52Speaker 2: people in Ukraine? Are we Are we concerned about the
- 11:54Speaker 2: people in Ukraine? Are we concerned about the guy in charge?
- 11:59Speaker 2: And I know this is switch because we were told
- 12:01Speaker 2: for so long we're supposed to love this guy, right,
- 12:04Speaker 2: he's a boy, he's a fighter.
- 12:05Speaker 3: You know.
- 12:06Speaker 2: In the beginning, I'm like, man, this guy, this dude's tough.
- 12:11Speaker 2: That was what we all saw at the beginning. And
- 12:14Speaker 2: the whole thing just continues on and on and on.
- 12:17Speaker 2: And do the people there want there to be an election?
- 12:20Speaker 2: Do they think they could have an election? I don't
- 12:23Speaker 2: know the answer to that question. I think there's people
- 12:25Speaker 2: there that definitely want one.
- 12:28Speaker 3: Now, this blow up.
- 12:29Speaker 2: That took place in the White House, and let's be
- 12:31Speaker 2: honest here, what this This was supposed to be a
- 12:34Speaker 2: meeting about rare earth minerals. Right, We're trying to come
- 12:39Speaker 2: up with a deal so that a couple of things
- 12:41Speaker 2: take place. The American people eventually get their money back.
- 12:47Speaker 2: It turns it into a three hundred and fifty billion
- 12:50Speaker 2: dollar investment. Now when I say American people get their
- 12:53Speaker 2: money back, I'm talking about other than the Americans who
- 12:56Speaker 2: got their kickbacks and already got some of that money back.
- 12:58Speaker 2: But that's that's another or that's another conversation. That's another
- 13:03Speaker 2: thing to dig into and not be able to do
- 13:06Speaker 2: anything with it because of preemptive pardons. But a way
- 13:12Speaker 2: to get some of that money back for America, right,
- 13:15Speaker 2: that's what that was about, and then also give us
- 13:18Speaker 2: some actual interest there to feel the need to say, look,
- 13:23Speaker 2: you can't, you can't bomb the place while we're in
- 13:26Speaker 2: there doing our thing and trying to create a ceasefire.
- 13:29Speaker 2: And trying to actually prevent more bloodshed. Trump said it
- 13:32Speaker 2: repeatedly to Zelensky as Zelensky was unbelievably disrespectful. It's one
- 13:38Speaker 2: of those Trump can't win scenarios where he sat there
- 13:42Speaker 2: and you could see he's sort of calculating what he's
- 13:45Speaker 2: going to say. The Vice President and Zelensky went at
- 13:49Speaker 2: it back and forth, and then Trump finally jumped in
- 13:52Speaker 2: and said, you're you're playing a game you can't win.
- 13:56Speaker 2: You don't have the cards to win this. And Zelensky,
- 14:00Speaker 2: who is ultimately trying to make a play for getting
- 14:05Speaker 2: into NATO, and which of course would then bring about
- 14:10Speaker 2: the beginning of World War three officially, right, this is
- 14:18Speaker 2: a membership where they say we want in. Well, if
- 14:20Speaker 2: they're in, then that means other countries have to step
- 14:22Speaker 2: in and help. And then it means China has to
- 14:27Speaker 2: pick a side. Guess what It won't be with Ukraine,
- 14:32Speaker 2: It won't be with anybody on Ukraine side. Where is
- 14:37Speaker 2: North Korea? North Korea has already shown where they are,
- 14:41Speaker 2: So then we start building the new axis powers. Right,
- 14:47Speaker 2: we start building, we start laying out where things are
- 14:50Speaker 2: going to fall for World War three. So what is
- 14:53Speaker 2: Zelensky really asking for I understand if this war when
- 15:00Speaker 2: it ends, assuming that this war is going to end,
- 15:05Speaker 2: I get that they would like something in place to
- 15:08Speaker 2: prevent this from ever happening again.
- 15:10Speaker 3: I do.
- 15:12Speaker 2: Everybody understands that everybody would like that for people in Ukraine.
- 15:15Speaker 2: But right now, they've just got to stop the bloodshed.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Running as a candidate, then candidate Trump, then former president Trump,
- 15:29Speaker 2: not current president, Trump was saying while he was running
- 15:33Speaker 2: for office, I don't like when people are dying. I
- 15:36Speaker 2: want to stop it. I didn't want wars to start
- 15:39Speaker 2: when I was president. I don't want them going on
- 15:42Speaker 2: when I'm president. I don't want that. I want to
- 15:44Speaker 2: end it. And he kept telling Zelensky that. But again,
- 15:47Speaker 2: he can't win. If he lets Zelensky sit there and
- 15:51Speaker 2: disrespect him, he would have been knocked for that by
- 15:55Speaker 2: the left. When he stands up for himself and he
- 15:58Speaker 2: stands up for the purpose of this meeting that was
- 16:01Speaker 2: supposed to be taking place, then he's a bully.
- 16:05Speaker 3: He and JD.
- 16:06Speaker 2: Vans are just bullies and they're nasty and they were
- 16:08Speaker 2: disrespectful to Zelenski, when in reality they were showing what
- 16:12Speaker 2: leadership looks like This isn't what we're here for.
- 16:16Speaker 3: This is not what this meeting is about.
- 16:19Speaker 2: You are using the American media to make a plea
- 16:22Speaker 2: to the American people for something that we're not prepared
- 16:26Speaker 2: to offer you. And you can't win that battle. Sitting
- 16:32Speaker 2: in the Oval office, where does all of this go?
- 16:35Speaker 2: I don't know, but tell you what, I know a lot.
- 16:38Speaker 3: Apparently. I know a lot of people.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Who really know all the ins and outs of Ukrainian politics.
- 16:44Speaker 2: They understand it better than anyone.
- 16:47Speaker 1: You know.
- 16:48Speaker 2: Our State Department be damned, like Marco Rubio in the
- 16:53Speaker 2: State Department. They don't know anything about international they know
- 17:00Speaker 2: nothing about it. But random people that I know.
- 17:04Speaker 3: Just have it all figured out. They've all got it
- 17:06Speaker 3: worked out, sharing things.
- 17:08Speaker 2: I saw one thing shared by a friend, like there's
- 17:11Speaker 2: a pastor somewhere who likes to chime in on these things,
- 17:15Speaker 2: and he tried to use the Blessed or the Peacemakers
- 17:18Speaker 2: verse from the Bible to say that Trump wasn't a
- 17:22Speaker 2: peacemaker in this situation, and that if he was, he
- 17:25Speaker 2: would be doing Would a minister playing politics about this
- 17:34Speaker 2: situation themselves be a peacemaker, I guess is the question
- 17:37Speaker 2: that I would ask. I mean, I don't know this
- 17:39Speaker 2: particular person. I don't know who it is. I don't
- 17:43Speaker 2: know anybody sharing their stuff anyway, But I mean it
- 17:48Speaker 2: sorts to become a dangerous game when you start to
- 17:51Speaker 2: put try to take one biblical context that has nothing
- 17:55Speaker 2: to do with Ukraine and apply it to the situation.
- 17:59Speaker 2: But it sounds to me, I mean, if we were
- 18:02Speaker 2: going to do that, the guy that's saying, hey, let's
- 18:04Speaker 2: let's let's get a ceasefire, let's stop the bloodshed, let's
- 18:09Speaker 2: start taking the steps we need to take to.
- 18:11Speaker 3: Bring an end to this war.
- 18:13Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know what a peacemaker is. I mean,
- 18:17Speaker 2: that sounds more like a peacemaker than you know.
- 18:20Speaker 3: But this president did this, and this president.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Did that and whatever he was screaming about. But everybody
- 18:28Speaker 2: seems to think they've got to grasp on exactly where
- 18:30Speaker 2: things are with it. I just I hope and pray
- 18:34Speaker 2: and continue to pray what I've been praying for from
- 18:37Speaker 2: the very beginning, that the bloodshed can stop, that the
- 18:41Speaker 2: war can end, And is it possible for Ukraine to
- 18:46Speaker 2: come out of this thing with what they would consider
- 18:48Speaker 2: a victory.
- 18:49Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 18:51Speaker 2: But at some point it's got to end, and you
- 18:55Speaker 2: would hope that it's going to end in a way
- 18:58Speaker 2: where all sides can come away with something that feels
- 19:05Speaker 2: like something positive, something to help them move forward. They're
- 19:11Speaker 2: not going to feel positive about what's happened to them. No,
- 19:14Speaker 2: your country's attacked. Nobody looks at that and says that's positive.
- 19:19Speaker 2: But you've got to figure out at what point the
- 19:21Speaker 2: ceasefire can happen, and then you can start to find
- 19:24Speaker 2: a way to pave something forward for what your future
- 19:26Speaker 2: is going to be, because right now you're still stuck
- 19:28Speaker 2: in this war and people are still dying. One more
- 19:34Speaker 2: note on this, and I don't know how this works,
- 19:37Speaker 2: but we've got This was just something that happened on
- 19:40Speaker 2: social media as various European leaders all posting the exact
- 19:44Speaker 2: same message, pro Zelensky.
- 19:47Speaker 3: Message, word for word.
- 19:50Speaker 2: Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong,
- 19:54Speaker 2: be brave, be fearless. You are never alone. To your
- 19:56Speaker 2: President Zelensky, Ua, we will. I'll continue working with you
- 20:01Speaker 2: for a just and lasting piece. Over and over and
- 20:06Speaker 2: over and over again by leaders who thought this was
- 20:11Speaker 2: a good idea and who decided on their behalf that
- 20:16Speaker 2: they were all going to do this, and why did
- 20:18Speaker 2: they do it? I mean, if someone went to Donald
- 20:22Speaker 2: Trump and said, you're going to post this message in
- 20:24Speaker 2: unity of these other things, do you honestly think he
- 20:27Speaker 2: would say? Okay, No, I think we all know the
- 20:31Speaker 2: answer to that question. Today's show brought to you by

- 22:53Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 22:57Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 22:59Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 23:02Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 23:05Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
- 23:09Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 23:13Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 23:16Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen

- 23:21Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 23:25Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 23:27Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 23:30Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to

- 23:34Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 23:37Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 23:40Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 23:42Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open, and
- 23:45Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
- 23:49Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thory five eight forty five

- 23:55Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show right
- 23:59Speaker 2: after the break, contributes last night to Gene Hackman at
- 24:12Speaker 2: the OSCARS.
- 24:14Speaker 3: It's about as much as I'm gonna say about the OSCARS.
- 24:16Speaker 2: They're continuing to investigate everything as it concerns the mysterious
- 24:22Speaker 2: circumstances of the death of Hackman and his wife, and
- 24:28Speaker 2: hopefully we'll, you know.
- 24:31Speaker 3: Eventually get some kind of an answer.
- 24:32Speaker 2: I heard some reporters over the weekend concerned about the speed,
- 24:37Speaker 2: like we need to get answers to that, do we
- 24:40Speaker 2: I mean, I know we're all curious, but do we
- 24:42Speaker 2: need to get answers? Are we entitled to some kind
- 24:46Speaker 2: of answers about what Gene Hackman's final moments were? Like,
- 24:49Speaker 2: I don't know that we're entitled to that. I get
- 24:51Speaker 2: there's a curiosity. I'm curious to know what happened. It's
- 24:55Speaker 2: a weird you know, he's dead in one room, she's
- 24:57Speaker 2: dead in another. Room, there's pills on the counter.
- 24:59Speaker 3: The doll died.
- 25:01Speaker 2: They talked about signs of mummification. His pacemaker went off
- 25:04Speaker 2: on the seventeenth, and I guess he was found dead
- 25:07Speaker 2: nine days later. There's a lot to this story that
- 25:11Speaker 2: makes it interesting. Are we entitled to the answers? Do
- 25:15Speaker 2: we need to get them and get them right away?
- 25:18Speaker 3: I don't know. I got some different feelings on that.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Hey is a toothpit fairy still give the same amount
- 25:27Speaker 2: that she used to give in your household?
- 25:30Speaker 3: Or has it changed?
- 25:31Speaker 2: According to the new Delta Dental poll, the tooth Fairy
- 25:36Speaker 2: leaving a lot less right now. The average value of
- 25:41Speaker 2: a lost tooth declined by fourteen percent in the last year,
- 25:45Speaker 2: five eighty four to fiveh one, with kids in the
- 25:49Speaker 2: South tending to get more pur two. She's more generous
- 25:52Speaker 2: in the South, that's all, with an average of five
- 25:55Speaker 2: seventy one kids in the West getting four to sixty sorry,
- 25:58Speaker 2: five sixty nine from the tooth fairy, followed by four
- 26:01Speaker 2: fifty nine in the Northeast three forty six in the Midwest.
- 26:06Speaker 2: She's not especially generous in the Midwest. She likes people
- 26:09Speaker 2: in the South better. Kids in the South are just
- 26:12Speaker 2: her favorites. I guess all right, we were hearing more
- 26:16Speaker 2: and more about people that say that they're fed up
- 26:18Speaker 2: with the US, and I guess probably politics has to
- 26:21Speaker 2: do with it. And apparently social divisions, healthcare headaches, rising costs,
- 26:28Speaker 2: Americans dreaming of greener pastures abroad, and according to a
- 26:32Speaker 2: new survey, seventeen percent say they're seriously considering packing their
- 26:36Speaker 2: bags in the next five years, Millennials leading the charge.
- 26:40Speaker 2: Twenty five percent ready to leave the country. Their top
- 26:43Speaker 2: destination will be Canada, Italy or England. Now it's just
- 26:48Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure there's some people that are really
- 26:50Speaker 2: ready to go, But if they're saying we're gonna go
- 26:55Speaker 2: in the next five years, that seems like a venient
- 27:00Speaker 2: number for We're going to see how it goes after
- 27:05Speaker 2: this election. We're gonna give it.
- 27:07Speaker 3: We're gonna give.
- 27:08Speaker 2: It through this presidency and then after that then we
- 27:12Speaker 2: don't have to really make a commitment. But we're we're threatening,
- 27:14Speaker 2: we're shaking our fists and we're we're going to really
- 27:18Speaker 2: think about this real hard for the next five years
- 27:22Speaker 2: and see just see where things are. By the way,
- 27:27Speaker 2: and I know a lot of these people that are
- 27:28Speaker 2: talking about leaving tend to be very far to the left.
- 27:31Speaker 2: And I'm not talking to my moderate friends here. I'm
- 27:33Speaker 2: talking to the people who think communism is the way
- 27:35Speaker 2: to go, or that think extreme socialism is the.
- 27:38Speaker 3: Way to go.
- 27:39Speaker 2: There are places in the world that already have the
- 27:43Speaker 2: government in which you dream of. You can go there
- 27:46Speaker 2: and you can just dive right in head first, adapt
- 27:48Speaker 2: to it, see how you like it, get a good
- 27:51Speaker 2: feel for it, instead of trying to, you know, change
- 27:54Speaker 2: what we have.
- 27:55Speaker 3: It's just a suggestion.
- 27:57Speaker 2: This isn't me telling you that you have to go.
- 28:00Speaker 2: It's just me pointing out the fact that if it
- 28:03Speaker 2: really sounds that appealing, you could maybe just go test
- 28:06Speaker 2: it out for a little while. See see how you
- 28:08Speaker 2: like Venezuela or China or some of these places. You
- 28:12Speaker 2: could just check it out North Korea, see if you
- 28:15Speaker 2: like living there, how that might go, you know?
- 28:19Speaker 3: All right?
- 28:20Speaker 2: And then part of the reason these people say that
- 28:22Speaker 2: they want to leave in five years is, you know,
- 28:24Speaker 2: the news putting them in a bad mood.
- 28:25Speaker 3: A new you gov poll.
- 28:28Speaker 2: Says forty two percent of those surveys said that reading
- 28:30Speaker 2: or watching the news over the past few days is
- 28:32Speaker 2: put them in a bad mood. Twenty percent said that
- 28:35Speaker 2: recent news has put them in a good mood, with
- 28:39Speaker 2: twenty three percent saying that news.
- 28:40Speaker 3: Has no effect on them whatsoever. None.
- 28:44Speaker 2: They're bulletproof, baby, that's what I'm talking about.
- 28:48Speaker 3: All right.
- 28:48Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Monday edition of the show.
