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: Wednesday morning, eighteenth day of December. I'm West thanks for
- 0:14Speaker 2: joining me. We're a week away from Christmas and we
- 0:18Speaker 2: are now into full countdown mode. Here we go. I mean,
- 0:22Speaker 2: you're listening to it at this point as I'm releasing
- 0:27Speaker 2: it at six am. You know, it's basically you know,
- 0:32Speaker 2: you're maybe up at that time Christmas morning, depending on
- 0:35Speaker 2: if you get little ones in the house. Maybe you
- 0:37Speaker 2: get up that early anyway, because you know, you host
- 0:40Speaker 2: a morning show and you get up early, and you're
- 0:42Speaker 2: going to be awake pretty much at the crack of
- 0:45Speaker 2: dawn no matter what. That's just what you do. Even
- 0:48Speaker 2: when you're not working, you wake up early. That's just
- 0:50Speaker 2: how it goes sometimes. But this is it final crunch
- 0:55Speaker 2: as far as knocking out those last Christmas gifts and
- 0:58Speaker 2: getting ready final preparation. Maybe you're making the preparations for
- 1:02Speaker 2: family to arrive Friday. I mean, that's where we're getting
- 1:07Speaker 2: down to get down to cases, right, that's when folks
- 1:11Speaker 2: may start showing up. I talked about that yesterday. The
- 1:14Speaker 2: travel and all that stuff going with folks arriving, getting
- 1:18Speaker 2: ready for holidays, expecting a lot of people to travel,
- 1:21Speaker 2: So prepare yourselves accordingly as you're maybe in house cleaning
- 1:27Speaker 2: mode coming up this weekend, trying to be ready for
- 1:30Speaker 2: folks that are going to be arriving. I want to
- 1:33Speaker 2: quickly talk about I didn't talk about it yesterday. The
- 1:36Speaker 2: story was still very fluid. It's still fluid. There's still
- 1:39Speaker 2: going to be investigations. There's going to be a lot
- 1:42Speaker 2: of questions that'll be asked, as happens every single time.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Unfortunately we have a shooting that takes place at a school.
- 1:50Speaker 2: But in Madison, Wisconsin, the shooting at the private Christian
- 1:57Speaker 2: school a horrible story. It's unthinkable as someone who attended
- 2:06Speaker 2: a small Christian school myself, I did that from seventh
- 2:10Speaker 2: grade until twelfth grade. That's where I graduated from, a
- 2:13Speaker 2: Christian school, not this particular school. I went to one
- 2:16Speaker 2: in the Columbus area that's no longer a functional school.
- 2:22Speaker 2: But it hits a little bit differently for folks that
- 2:26Speaker 2: sort of know that environment, know what that school maybe was.
- 2:30Speaker 2: Sort of like I understand it's been a long time
- 2:32Speaker 2: since I was in high school, but I couldn't help.
- 2:36Speaker 2: But over the last couple of days, think about, you
- 2:40Speaker 2: know what a situation like this might have been like
- 2:44Speaker 2: for us there in the school of something like this
- 2:46Speaker 2: it happened. You have to do a few things when
- 2:53Speaker 2: you hear a story like this, and I think, sadly,
- 2:56Speaker 2: it's already I think within I think about seven hours
- 3:01Speaker 2: after the shooting took place, the President was already calling
- 3:06Speaker 2: for Congress to act on some sort of gun legislation
- 3:09Speaker 2: or whatever. I don't know, time for Congress to act now.
- 3:11Speaker 2: It's this vague thing that they say, and they make
- 3:14Speaker 2: it political. Look, we have heard from politicians over the
- 3:19Speaker 2: years that have said they don't want the pistols, they
- 3:25Speaker 2: don't want the shotguns. They want the big, scary AR
- 3:30Speaker 2: style weapons. That's what they want, and they want to
- 3:33Speaker 2: make sure that people can't use them. This girl in
- 3:36Speaker 2: this case used a pistol. I don't know what they
- 3:41Speaker 2: claim could have changed this outcome had they gotten rid
- 3:45Speaker 2: of ar weapons as they call them. It's a brand,
- 3:51Speaker 2: it's not a type of rifle. But if they're not
- 3:55Speaker 2: really going after pistols and they're not going after shotguns,
- 3:59Speaker 2: there's no legislation that could have passed that would have
- 4:01Speaker 2: changed this particular incident. It's tragic, it's sickening, it is devastating.
- 4:11Speaker 2: We've all been through this, we go through this collectively.
- 4:13Speaker 2: I understand there's this sadly, we have this giant communal
- 4:21Speaker 2: belief that this is horrible and there has to be
- 4:27Speaker 2: something that we can do to make these happen less frequently.
- 4:32Speaker 2: I just heard someone in some news capacity talking about
- 4:37Speaker 2: how there hasn't really been a big shooting in a while,
- 4:42Speaker 2: and it seemed to sort of tea things up for
- 4:45Speaker 2: this particular story. And I know, we just had the
- 4:51Speaker 2: we had the shooting, the Brian Thompson story, the murder
- 4:59Speaker 2: on the street New York, and you know, it's one
- 5:05Speaker 2: of those things where we collectively can all say this
- 5:09Speaker 2: is horrible, this is something that should never happen. I
- 5:14Speaker 2: have kids in school. I have a kid in a
- 5:18Speaker 2: middle school, kid in high school. These are things that
- 5:21Speaker 2: you think about when you drop them off at school.
- 5:24Speaker 2: There are things that sadly you think about. You know,
- 5:29Speaker 2: when your friends talk about their kids being in schools
- 5:32Speaker 2: and there being an incident or something that's happened, and
- 5:35Speaker 2: when they happen in neighborhoods near where people live, all
- 5:38Speaker 2: of those things. It's all awful. Is there a piece
- 5:43Speaker 2: of legislation that could be passed that would make all
- 5:46Speaker 2: of this school? Wait? No, sadly there's not. But there's
- 5:52Speaker 2: this breakdown that we have where we don't realize that
- 5:56Speaker 2: collectively we all feel the same way. We all wish
- 6:00Speaker 2: that there was a way to make them stop, and
- 6:03Speaker 2: there was a way to fix the mental health crisis
- 6:06Speaker 2: that we have. We all feel like we wish that
- 6:09Speaker 2: there was a way that we could make sanity mental health.
- 6:21Speaker 2: And I'm not going to jump to conclusions about anything
- 6:24Speaker 2: specifically with this case, as we're sort of fluid, we're
- 6:27Speaker 2: learning more about it. But the cases where kids are
- 6:30Speaker 2: teased were you know, they're picked on for being different.
- 6:33Speaker 2: We went through this with another Christian school in Tennessee
- 6:37Speaker 2: where you had a student that was transitioning the school
- 6:41Speaker 2: and the church did not support that lifestyle change, I guess,
- 6:45Speaker 2: and there was this whole I guess sense of getting
- 6:53Speaker 2: kind of some kind of justice against them, you know,
- 6:57Speaker 2: the explanations for why they happen. We seem to miss
- 7:01Speaker 2: over this idea that they're just going to magically make
- 7:04Speaker 2: them all stop if guns are taken away. And again
- 7:09Speaker 2: when you say we don't want to take away pistols
- 7:11Speaker 2: and you know Congress needs to act, well, this was
- 7:14Speaker 2: a pistol. This is what we know about this case.
- 7:18Speaker 2: So but just remember we're all morning together. And if
- 7:22Speaker 2: you want to make it about politics, and you want
- 7:24Speaker 2: to blame people who are more conservative and who understand
- 7:29Speaker 2: the constitutional significance of the Second Amendment, and that's who
- 7:33Speaker 2: you want to blame, and you want to say it's
- 7:34Speaker 2: their fault, it's you blame the founders. They had a
- 7:40Speaker 2: different idea for what the Second Amendment was about. And
- 7:45Speaker 2: I understand this is a terrible thing to happen, and
- 7:50Speaker 2: it's terrible every time it happens, and there's no one
- 7:53Speaker 2: who celebrates it, unlike the shooting of Brian Thompson, you know,
- 8:00Speaker 2: United Healthcare Brian Thompson. So when people celebrate a shooting
- 8:06Speaker 2: and they call someone a hero for standing up for
- 8:09Speaker 2: other people, I'm not going to connect dots. Just know
- 8:15Speaker 2: there is danger in our words. There's danger in the
- 8:18Speaker 2: things that we celebrate, and could it create copycat killers? Yeah,
- 8:25Speaker 2: I'm not calling that this in this particular case. I'm
- 8:28Speaker 2: just pointing out the fact that some of the same
- 8:30Speaker 2: people that I know who are screaming for gun control
- 8:34Speaker 2: right now are the same people who celebrated a guy
- 8:39Speaker 2: walking up to a husband and father and human being
- 8:43Speaker 2: in broad daylight and shooting him in the back right
- 8:48Speaker 2: in the name of, you know, we need better healthcare.
- 8:54Speaker 2: So it's just it's interesting the way that we frame
- 8:59Speaker 2: these things, and it's interest the way that we seem
- 9:02Speaker 2: to ignore the fact that, you know, you make comments
- 9:05Speaker 2: about a presidential candidate being hitler, being evil, bringing about
- 9:12Speaker 2: the end to democracy, all these crazy exaggerated things, and
- 9:17Speaker 2: then someone takes a shot at him and almost kills him,
- 9:22Speaker 2: and you don't want any accountability for it, and then
- 9:27Speaker 2: someone else tries to get to him again you go,
- 9:31Speaker 2: you know, they probably staged all this kind of stuff. No,
- 9:36Speaker 2: and then when he wins reelection and becomes president again,
- 9:41Speaker 2: all the people who said all the horrible things about
- 9:43Speaker 2: him and got you know, the public to think he's terrible,
- 9:46Speaker 2: suddenly they're all paling around with him because he's about
- 9:49Speaker 2: to be the president and they're getting ready for his
- 9:52Speaker 2: inauguration coming up in a month, and they're just like
- 9:56Speaker 2: life goes on. It wasn't so bad. So words matter.
- 10:01Speaker 2: The way we react to things matter. And when we
- 10:04Speaker 2: ignore the fact that we're all mourning in a situation
- 10:08Speaker 2: like this, and we're all struggling with situations like this,
- 10:12Speaker 2: we have to understand that this is something that we're
- 10:17Speaker 2: all processing, this is something that we're all dealing with,
- 10:20Speaker 2: and you know, you can't just say, well, then do something.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Common sense. We have to have it. We do. We
- 10:26Speaker 2: have to have common sense, but we also have to
- 10:27Speaker 2: follow the law, and that's a big part of it.
- 10:32Speaker 2: I want to jump over to another quick story here
- 10:34Speaker 2: because there's a Texas representative, of course, Democrat Texas. Jasmine
- 10:41Speaker 2: Crockett is her name. She has put her on the
- 10:46Speaker 2: list of people who still don't quite understand why Donald
- 10:50Speaker 2: Trump won reelection. Can't process it, can't understand it. She
- 10:55Speaker 2: has an interesting take on the Harris campaign and a
- 11:01Speaker 2: very put you in a box idea of how race works.
- 11:06Speaker 2: It's a very racist thing to me, but they tell
- 11:09Speaker 2: me I'm not allowed to say that, not allowed to
- 11:12Speaker 2: say that someone is racist when they look only at
- 11:15Speaker 2: people through their race. But I understand when it comes
- 11:19Speaker 2: to politics, when it comes to marketing, when it comes
- 11:23Speaker 2: to actually quite a few areas, but we're not supposed
- 11:26Speaker 2: to talk about it. Race is certainly a component of it. Marketing,
- 11:30Speaker 2: it's big. It's not a coincidence that when you're watching
- 11:34Speaker 2: an NBA game you're going to see a lot of
- 11:36Speaker 2: Sprite commercials. It's just a reality. That's just something that
- 11:40Speaker 2: you're going to see, and it's just the way it works.
- 11:46Speaker 2: There's certain beers that white people drink more so than
- 11:49Speaker 2: black people, and you're watching something and as a beer ad,
- 11:51Speaker 2: you're probably going to see an ad targeting white customers.
- 11:55Speaker 2: It's just the reality of how it works from that standpoint,
- 12:00Speaker 2: nothing negative or hateful or racist about it. Just a reality.
- 12:07Speaker 2: And yes, in politics, people do sometimes break down groups
- 12:12Speaker 2: and say, well, this group voted this way and this
- 12:15Speaker 2: group voted that way, and it's just the breakdown of it. However,
- 12:19Speaker 2: when you get angry at a group for not voting
- 12:21Speaker 2: the way that you want them to, that's kind of
- 12:22Speaker 2: racist if you think that, I don't know, they have
- 12:26Speaker 2: a slave mentality, because that's apparently how Jasmine Crockett sees them.
- 12:38Speaker 2: She says, this slave mentality they have for supporting Donald Trump.
- 12:43Speaker 2: She said, that is my distilled summary of what happens
- 12:46Speaker 2: within the Latino community. I've not run into that in
- 12:50Speaker 2: the Asian community. I've not run into that with the
- 12:52Speaker 2: African community. I've only I'm sorry, I've not run into
- 12:55Speaker 2: that with the Caribbean community. I've only run into it
- 12:58Speaker 2: with Hispanics. When they think of illegals, they think, you know,
- 13:02Speaker 2: maybe people that came out of the cartels and that
- 13:06Speaker 2: kind of like criminal type book or whatever. It's insane,
- 13:11Speaker 2: she says. It almost reminds me of what people would
- 13:13Speaker 2: talk about when they would talk about kind of a
- 13:15Speaker 2: slave mentality and the hate that some slaves would have
- 13:19Speaker 2: for themselves. It's almost like a slave mentality they have.
- 13:24Speaker 2: It is wild to me when I hear how anti
- 13:27Speaker 2: immigrant they are, as immigrants, many of them, I'm talking
- 13:31Speaker 2: about people that literally just got here and can barely vote,
- 13:35Speaker 2: that they are having this kind of attitude. She also
- 13:40Speaker 2: gave some grief to some other groups you start breaking
- 13:44Speaker 2: it down. She was upset with white women saying that
- 13:48Speaker 2: they retreated, they failed hair like they retreated like the
- 13:53Speaker 2: progress came voting for Biden, but that the fact that
- 13:55Speaker 2: they didn't vote for Hillary and then they didn't vote
- 13:57Speaker 2: for Kamala is a retreat move for them. That's how
- 14:03Speaker 2: she sees it. But it's interesting to me that she's
- 14:09Speaker 2: basically saying all of these really horrible things about the
- 14:13Speaker 2: Hispanic community and basically saying that they're anti immigrant and
- 14:20Speaker 2: that many of them themselves are immigrant. So this is
- 14:23Speaker 2: and what's especially of note he just says they literally
- 14:27Speaker 2: just got here, can barely vote, and they're having this
- 14:29Speaker 2: kind of attitude. I think this is a tell to
- 14:34Speaker 2: the disappointment that comes when you open the doors, you
- 14:40Speaker 2: open the border, you open things up, you let people
- 14:43Speaker 2: just come in and they're allowed to just flood in,
- 14:46Speaker 2: and you think, okay, well, we're going to have these
- 14:48Speaker 2: people here, and maybe we're going to move them around
- 14:50Speaker 2: into battleground states, and we're going to hope that we're
- 14:54Speaker 2: going to get them the ability to vote at some point.
- 14:57Speaker 2: And then if they get the ability to vote, you think, well,
- 14:59Speaker 2: they're going to our way, they're going to support us
- 15:02Speaker 2: because we just let them come in. And then they
- 15:05Speaker 2: find out in an election like this that some of
- 15:08Speaker 2: the people that came in and got the ability to
- 15:12Speaker 2: vote didn't just vote their way automatically. They think, hey,
- 15:17Speaker 2: I got here, I don't want everybody else to come
- 15:19Speaker 2: and take jobs away from me, and that kind of
- 15:24Speaker 2: It's a little bit of a tell, isn't it. It's
- 15:26Speaker 2: a little bit of a reveal of what I think
- 15:30Speaker 2: the mindset is because it's hurt. This is hurt. This
- 15:35Speaker 2: isn't just you know, Oh my gosh, I can't believe
- 15:38Speaker 2: this went this way. This is hurt. How dare you
- 15:42Speaker 2: vote a different way than what we expected you to
- 15:44Speaker 2: vote when you got here. There was an expectation of
- 15:48Speaker 2: what you were going to use your vote for, and
- 15:49Speaker 2: it was going to be to support us and support
- 15:51Speaker 2: our candidate. That's what we're going to find. So horrific,
- 15:59Speaker 2: is it? You didn't do it the way that you
- 16:02Speaker 2: were supposed to. And she basically said that, you know,
- 16:09Speaker 2: a lot of black people stayed loyal. She says, I
- 16:11Speaker 2: will tell you black people historically have been fiercely loyal.
- 16:15Speaker 2: That's why you still see the turnout numbers that you
- 16:17Speaker 2: see out for black folks, even though there was a
- 16:21Speaker 2: bit of flaking, and that bit of flaking came from
- 16:25Speaker 2: black men, which I'm going to chalk up to misogyny. See,
- 16:29Speaker 2: it's not that people have their own opinion. It's not
- 16:35Speaker 2: that people are entitled and allowed to have their own opinion.
- 16:38Speaker 2: It's that you're supposed to do things because we put
- 16:41Speaker 2: you in these boxes and we want to be able
- 16:45Speaker 2: to control you. We want to know that you're going
- 16:47Speaker 2: to do for us exactly what we intended for you
- 16:51Speaker 2: to do for us, and that's vote the way that
- 16:53Speaker 2: we tell you to vote. Accept whatever it is that
- 16:57Speaker 2: we give you in the form of government, and then
- 17:01Speaker 2: vote the way that we want you to vote. Because
- 17:03Speaker 2: we know what's best for you and you don't. How
- 17:06Speaker 2: dare you make up your own mind? How dare you
- 17:08Speaker 2: have your own opinion about it? Because you're just not
- 17:11Speaker 2: capable of it. Today's show brought to you by Columbus
- 17:13Speaker 2: State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating
- 17:19Speaker 2: the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders
- 17:25Speaker 2: that really of all ages. I mean, they do it
- 17:27Speaker 2: for school age kids, as school age kids visit the
- 17:31Speaker 2: Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
- 17:33Speaker 2: through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
- 17:39Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
- 17:43Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
- 17:47Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
- 17:54Speaker 2: also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got

- 18:02Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
- 18:05Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
- 18:09Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
- 18:11Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
- 18:15Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
- 18:20Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
- 18:24Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
- 18:28Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,

- 18:38Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
- 18:42Speaker 2: outside the city lights you don't want any light interference,
- 18:45Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night
- 18:47Speaker 2: events also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As
- 18:52Speaker 2: Sean Crusan says, Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I
- 18:57Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
- 19:00Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
- 19:05Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
- 19:08Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
- 19:14Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
- 19:17Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
- 19:21Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
- 19:25Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
- 19:28Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
- 19:30Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 19:33Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 19:37Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 19:39Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 19:42Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 19:45Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
- 19:49Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 19:53Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 19:56Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 19:58Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 20:01Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 20:05Speaker 2: sort of outdoor. But indoor. You know, if you like
- 20:07Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 20:10Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
- 20:12Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 20:14Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 20:17Speaker 2: as well, And again they do after hours calls. There's
- 20:20Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 20:22Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
- 20:25Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
- 20:29Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty five

- 20:35Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right
- 20:39Speaker 2: after the break, a little big congratulations to New Jersey,
- 20:52Speaker 2: the loudest state in the country. Maybe it's all the drones.
- 20:57Speaker 2: Maybe that's what makes them so loud. According to a
- 21:01Speaker 2: new study which looked at a number of loud factors,
- 21:03Speaker 2: which include traffic noise, the number of construction permits, number
- 21:08Speaker 2: of planes flying over it, ah planes, drones, public transit,
- 21:14Speaker 2: even the number of bars, New Jersey is the loudest
- 21:17Speaker 2: in large part because of the amount of people packed
- 21:20Speaker 2: into every square mile of the relatively small state, coming
- 21:25Speaker 2: in at number two, Massachusetts, followed by Pennsylvania, then Florida,
- 21:30Speaker 2: Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, Illinois, Chicago, I'm sorry, Colorado, and Connecticut.
- 21:36Speaker 2: I was reading ahead of another story mentioned Chicago, Colorado,
- 21:41Speaker 2: and Connecticut. The quietest state, Care to take a guess, Alaska,
- 21:51Speaker 2: followed by Minnesota and Montana. So you know that's not
- 21:56Speaker 2: a big surprise. I don't know if any of these
- 21:58Speaker 2: others are really a large supprise. To be completely honest,
- 22:02Speaker 2: those all seem like they would be quiet states in
- 22:06Speaker 2: loud states, just saying. An engineering student from Ontario, Canada,
- 22:12Speaker 2: has built what is believed to be the world's smallest
- 22:15Speaker 2: arcade machine. Victoria Korhanan's working arcade machine, which runs the
- 22:21Speaker 2: classic game Pong, measures two point five inches tall, one
- 22:26Speaker 2: inch wide one point three inches long. The machine is
- 22:29Speaker 2: now being reviewed by Guinness World Records to confirm her achievement.
- 22:35Speaker 2: How about that. See when people would think everything has
- 22:38Speaker 2: to go bigger, bigger, bigger, TVs get bigger, everything gets bigger.
- 22:41Speaker 2: There was a time with technology where it was like,
- 22:44Speaker 2: let's get everything smaller. We want it to be smaller.
- 22:47Speaker 2: We want a small TV we can carry around. We
- 22:49Speaker 2: want a small device that we can have. We want
- 22:51Speaker 2: a small cell phone, and then suddenly cell phones had
- 22:53Speaker 2: to get bigger and bigger and bigger, and TVs they
- 22:55Speaker 2: got bigger and bigger. Here someone trying to make a
- 22:59Speaker 2: video game a small as possible, even if it's Pong,
- 23:02Speaker 2: And I got no hate against Pong at all. I'm
- 23:05Speaker 2: more of a you know, misspac Man Donkey Kong guy myself.
- 23:11Speaker 2: But the point is having it this small, you can
- 23:13Speaker 2: play it anywhere. It's tiny, two and a half inches tall,
- 23:17Speaker 2: one inch wide. It's pretty special. I like it. I
- 23:20Speaker 2: like everything about it good. I hope she gets the record.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Mikeelobe Ultra has officially taken the top spot for tap
- 23:28Speaker 2: beer in the US, surpassing bud Light. Industry insiders say
- 23:32Speaker 2: michelob Ultra has been gaining ground through the years and
- 23:36Speaker 2: finally reached number one in November because of health trends.
- 23:40Speaker 2: Michelobe Ultra is relatively low carb, has fewer calories than
- 23:45Speaker 2: almost every beer out there, which has turned it into
- 23:48Speaker 2: a popular choice. And if this has been an ongoing trend,
- 23:51Speaker 2: I want to assume that maybe it has anything to
- 23:53Speaker 2: do with rolling into the holidays, just saying it could
- 23:57Speaker 2: just be that people are looking for some a little
- 24:00Speaker 2: bit healthier and probably doesn't hurt that people kind of
- 24:04Speaker 2: steer it away from bud light and all that. All right,
- 24:08Speaker 2: Google has created a breakthrough computer chip, the latest quantum
- 24:13Speaker 2: computing chip called Willow, making a huge impact in the
- 24:17Speaker 2: tech world. The chip can perform at computations in under
- 24:21Speaker 2: five minutes that would take the world's fastest supercomputer, Frontier
- 24:26Speaker 2: a staggering ten septillion years to complete. The business world
- 24:32Speaker 2: is already scrambling to figure out how Willow can help
- 24:35Speaker 2: solve problems in areas like drug discovery, fusion energy, battery design,
- 24:41Speaker 2: among others. Here's a crazy idea. All right, you got
- 24:45Speaker 2: this computer and it's got all these capabilities, Let's keep
- 24:50Speaker 2: it away from AI. You know this, just keep it
- 24:53Speaker 2: as far away as possible from AI. I don't think
- 24:57Speaker 2: this is something that we we need to get AI
- 25:01Speaker 2: involved in. You know, we don't need to really get
- 25:03Speaker 2: it there. I think we just need to be let's
- 25:06Speaker 2: just play it safe, you know, just just play it safe,
- 25:10Speaker 2: keep it away from the AI. I think that's probably
- 25:15Speaker 2: a good strategy. That's my call for a strategy. Anyway.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Researchers at an archaeological site in Alaska found evidence that
- 25:24Speaker 2: suggest dogs have been part of the human communities for
- 25:28Speaker 2: at least twelve thousand years. Scientists wanted to explain that
- 25:33Speaker 2: the animals at this time weren't domesticated dogs, but instead
- 25:36Speaker 2: we're tamed wolves in the idea of animals hanging around
- 25:39Speaker 2: and helping humans hunt back in the day fits with
- 25:42Speaker 2: stories passed down describing dogs as mystic companions. Like it,
- 25:48Speaker 2: you know, I'm a dog fan. Love my dog. Love
- 25:52Speaker 2: the thought of dogs doing companion things with humans for
- 25:57Speaker 2: twelve thousand years. I like it all about it. That'll
- 26:01Speaker 2: do it for this Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks
- 26:04Speaker 2: to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll
- 26:07Speaker 2: catch you back here tomorrow morning.
