Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews you need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show,
0:12
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning.
0:13
Speaker 2: Sixth day of January. I'm Wes, thanks for joining me,
0:20
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. I don't know I said that yesterday.
0:24
Speaker 2: I mean probably it was a whole day ago. I
0:28
Speaker 2: don't remember much. Had a good run this year on
0:32
Speaker 2: not having any fast food is they will to say
0:36
Speaker 2: I had it all year and then you know over
0:38
Speaker 2: the weekend at some point, well, you took my dad
0:41
Speaker 2: to lunch and he really likes Culver's, and you don't
0:46
Speaker 2: even think about it. You just go Culver's. I'm in,
0:49
Speaker 2: sign me up a burger and some custard, yes, I'm in,
0:52
Speaker 2: let's do it, and some of those cheese curds. Yes.
0:58
Speaker 2: But now we get back to trying to be good
1:00
Speaker 2: to talk about dry January and damp January coming up
1:03
Speaker 2: a little bit later in the show. Quickly want to
1:07
Speaker 2: mention this because we talked about a little bit yesterday,
1:09
Speaker 2: and I don't know that I had fully locked in
1:11
Speaker 2: that yesterday was the twelfth day of Christmas. I was
1:14
Speaker 2: talking about the whole you know, you get into January,
1:17
Speaker 2: but I guess the fifth is the twelfth night of Christmas.
1:21
Speaker 2: So here we are. You can start taking your stuff down,
1:24
Speaker 2: you can start taking to the if you haven't already,
1:25
Speaker 2: you can start. There's a lot of houses near me
1:29
Speaker 2: that are still very brightly lit. As of last night,
1:32
Speaker 2: they were still going strong. I had to do a
1:35
Speaker 2: quick store run. We got one that's a little under
1:38
Speaker 2: the weather in the house. We've kind of all had
1:41
Speaker 2: some version of it, I guess except Jill and I guess.
1:45
Speaker 2: You know, half the country's sick. That's what it feels like,
1:47
Speaker 2: or that's what everybody's saying. Everybody is sick or has
1:50
Speaker 2: been sick. And when you have Muskogee County send out
1:54
Speaker 2: a message as kids go back to school for Muskogie
1:56
Speaker 2: County Primary Area, like that's the whole base for this show.
2:02
Speaker 2: And they're basically said, hey, if they're sick, stay home,
2:06
Speaker 2: if they've got a fever, stay home. There's a lot
2:08
Speaker 2: of sick people, then we don't need it to spread.
2:10
Speaker 2: And reminders about things like washing your hands and not
2:13
Speaker 2: sharing water bottles and all those sorts of things. All
2:17
Speaker 2: that is there. I just wish so much that at
2:22
Speaker 2: the time of the pandemic at the time of COVID,
2:26
Speaker 2: rather than completely reacting to everything in fear and panic
2:30
Speaker 2: and inciting fear and panic into people so that I
2:32
Speaker 2: don't know, they would stay home and you know, mail
2:35
Speaker 2: in their votes or whatever or whatever ways they could
2:40
Speaker 2: figure out, Oh, we're going to have record turnout for
2:43
Speaker 2: this election because people who don't normally vote are just
2:46
Speaker 2: going to vote whether they want to or not. Apparently
2:48
Speaker 2: that happened with a lot of people. I can say
2:51
Speaker 2: that because I know somebody that it happened to. But
2:54
Speaker 2: as far as the medical side of things, if we
2:57
Speaker 2: had just let people do their thing, just let people
3:00
Speaker 2: do their thing, if we had all done that, we'd
3:03
Speaker 2: all be in a better place. Because what happened during
3:06
Speaker 2: the onset of the pandemic was you know, you're going
3:08
Speaker 2: to kill Grahama if you don't wear a mask everywhere
3:10
Speaker 2: you go. And then by the end of it, they
3:13
Speaker 2: were like, yeah, those mass didn't really help. You know.
3:15
Speaker 2: They helped you if you were sick and you didn't
3:17
Speaker 2: get other people sick, but they didn't keep you from
3:19
Speaker 2: getting sick. So you know, sorry, we just had you
3:22
Speaker 2: guys doing that for nothing. It was for something. It
3:25
Speaker 2: was to scare people, and that was the whole thing. Now,
3:28
Speaker 2: you could say we scared them to keep them at
3:31
Speaker 2: home so that they didn't get sick, or we scared
3:33
Speaker 2: them so that other people didn't get sick. I'm sure
3:37
Speaker 2: there were some people who felt that way. There were
3:39
Speaker 2: also some people who said, no, no, no, let's figure
3:41
Speaker 2: out how we can use this to change the course
3:44
Speaker 2: of an election in history. I mean, you're kidding yourself
3:48
Speaker 2: if you don't think that was part of how the
3:49
Speaker 2: election went down. You don't have a record turnout of
3:54
Speaker 2: voters a time when people should have stayed home and
3:58
Speaker 2: not voted, and we had more people vote than ever.
4:02
Speaker 2: You can't say it's not suspicious. I'm not going to
4:04
Speaker 2: spend a lot of time on that election. That's not
4:06
Speaker 2: the point today. My point is that they scared us,
4:10
Speaker 2: or tried to scare us. They scared a lot of us,
4:13
Speaker 2: and they told us you have to follow these guidelines
4:16
Speaker 2: and these rules. Now, if you go back and you
4:20
Speaker 2: listen to me radio podcast talking about it, my main
4:23
Speaker 2: message was always talk to your doctor. You gotta do
4:26
Speaker 2: what's best for you based on what your conversations with
4:30
Speaker 2: your doctor. And if you don't like what your doctor's saying,
4:32
Speaker 2: get another doctor. That should be a rule of thumb
4:36
Speaker 2: in general. And it's good for you and for the doctor.
4:40
Speaker 2: You know, it's the peace be with you. We're out.
4:43
Speaker 2: Let's go, we're gonna separate. It's not you, it's me,
4:47
Speaker 2: and then go somewhere else. That's what. But you don't
4:50
Speaker 2: go basically like, hey, I'm gonna go find a doctor
4:52
Speaker 2: that's gonna tell me what I want to hear. You
4:55
Speaker 2: just have to listen to your doctor and say I'm
4:57
Speaker 2: not so sure that I'm comfortable with your advice on this,
5:01
Speaker 2: And sometimes that's the way it goes. We had that
5:04
Speaker 2: conversation in our house and we had kids and the
5:07
Speaker 2: first time we went to the pediatrician and we left
5:10
Speaker 2: and Jill said, I'm not so sure about what he
5:12
Speaker 2: said there. And I was like, listen, he's either our
5:15
Speaker 2: doctor or he's not our doctor. We have to find
5:17
Speaker 2: a doctor that we're not going to question. And we
5:20
Speaker 2: came to a very mutual agreement that that's a philosopher.
5:24
Speaker 2: We had to have. Whatever the thing was. It was
5:26
Speaker 2: a small thing, and we ended up being a great pediatrician.
5:29
Speaker 2: And then he stepped away from the practice the guy
5:32
Speaker 2: who came in fantastic. He's great too. It all worked out.
5:38
Speaker 2: We just had to understand, you either go with the
5:41
Speaker 2: guy or gal that's your doctor, go with them, and
5:44
Speaker 2: our case guy, you go with the doctor, or you
5:48
Speaker 2: find another doctor. That's a good way to do it.
5:51
Speaker 2: And that's what we didn't do that with each other.
5:52
Speaker 2: We didn't say, hey, you're going to wear a mask.
5:54
Speaker 2: I'm not. We're going to all live our lives. I'm
5:57
Speaker 2: going to roll the dice over here and not wear
5:59
Speaker 2: the mask. I'm not actively sick, so I'm not going
6:03
Speaker 2: to do it. And you wear it if you want to.
6:05
Speaker 2: You can wear it as long as you want to.
6:06
Speaker 2: I'm gonna not wear it, and then we're just gonna live.
6:11
Speaker 2: Some of us wore the masks because it's what we
6:14
Speaker 2: were asked to do. I was never told wear it
6:17
Speaker 2: or I'm gonna punch you in the face. That would
6:19
Speaker 2: have been a different conversation. That would have been a
6:22
Speaker 2: very different conversation. There were some circumstances where I was
6:26
Speaker 2: invited or asked to be at something or wanted to
6:28
Speaker 2: be at something, and I was told, look, we want
6:30
Speaker 2: people to wear a mask to be here, and you
6:31
Speaker 2: make a decision. It was never a mandate. It was
6:35
Speaker 2: net for me. Now there were some people it was
6:37
Speaker 2: a mandate anyway. Didn't mean to spend this much time
6:40
Speaker 2: on this. My point is by the end of it,
6:43
Speaker 2: when people stopped wearing the masks, it became some people
6:47
Speaker 2: still and there's still some people that are wearing them.
6:48
Speaker 2: They want to wear them. They never stopped. And there's
6:52
Speaker 2: a lot of my friends on the right they look
6:54
Speaker 2: at those people and go, take it off. What are
6:55
Speaker 2: you doing? It's stupid. Why can't we just all go look,
7:00
Speaker 2: do whatever you want to do. You're not hurting anybody
7:03
Speaker 2: wear the mask. Did you look stupid not wearing the
7:06
Speaker 2: mask when the pandemic was going on? To some people
7:09
Speaker 2: you did, you were dangerous. That's the difference. Right to them,
7:14
Speaker 2: we were dangerous if we didn't have a mask on,
7:16
Speaker 2: and for us, you look stupid wearing it. It's but
7:21
Speaker 2: it's not dangerous. Just let them be. And I wish
7:24
Speaker 2: right now, as we're in the middle of this horrible
7:27
Speaker 2: flu outbreak and a number of other things that are
7:30
Speaker 2: going around, people feel like they can't either put them on,
7:34
Speaker 2: or if they put them on, someone's gonna mock them
7:36
Speaker 2: for it. Now, muscogy Kiani has said, if your kid
7:38
Speaker 2: wants to wear a mask and you want them to
7:40
Speaker 2: do it, that's fine, they can wear it school. That's
7:42
Speaker 2: how it should be. That should have been how it
7:45
Speaker 2: was from the very beginning. None of this mandate stuff.
7:48
Speaker 2: None of this we're gonna mock you in public, We're
7:50
Speaker 2: gonna throw you out of target, someone's gonna follow you
7:53
Speaker 2: around and yell at you. Shame, shame, shame, whatever it
7:56
Speaker 2: is that they do. None of that should have been
7:59
Speaker 2: at play. But that was the game, wasn't it. That's
8:01
Speaker 2: what we did, and it was part of just you know,
8:06
Speaker 2: being manipulated and having useful idiots around, just useful idiots
8:11
Speaker 2: in charge ish I think to some degree, and not
8:16
Speaker 2: necessarily at the start of the pandemic, but as it
8:18
Speaker 2: went on, we definitely had useful idiots running the country
8:23
Speaker 2: once we got into twenty twenty one. So, speaking of
8:26
Speaker 2: useful idiots, the best segue that I could have for this,
8:31
Speaker 2: Minnesota Governor Tim Wallas is not going to run for
8:34
Speaker 2: a third term as governor of Minnesota. He's ultimately and
8:39
Speaker 2: not a shock because he basically didn't need to even
8:42
Speaker 2: take any questions. Of course, this comes on the heels
8:47
Speaker 2: of the scandal of billions just disappeared. Where'd all this
8:53
Speaker 2: money go? Went to Somalia, went to terror groups, it
8:56
Speaker 2: went to just fraud. Why i'd spread fraud. You see
9:01
Speaker 2: the video of the girl admitting admitting to fraud, catching
9:04
Speaker 2: herself while she's admitting to fraud. It's pretty bad. And
9:08
Speaker 2: then the videos of the guy that went around, the
9:11
Speaker 2: young journal I don't know how old he is. I
9:12
Speaker 2: think he's in his early twenties, going around to these
9:15
Speaker 2: daycares and saying, Hey, I want to enroll my kid here.
9:17
Speaker 2: What do I have to do? And there's no kids there?
9:19
Speaker 2: Where are the kids? This is supposed to be a daycare.
9:22
Speaker 2: You got six point eight million dollars for this daycare
9:24
Speaker 2: and there's no kids here. What's the status of this?
9:28
Speaker 2: It just got worse and worse and worse. And you
9:32
Speaker 2: wonder why they hated Elon Musk so much, they hated
9:35
Speaker 2: Doge so much. On the left. They didn't like the
9:37
Speaker 2: fact that somebody was overturning these rocks and finding all
9:41
Speaker 2: the creepy crawleys underneath, right, exposing these things. And this
9:46
Speaker 2: is a big thing that's exposed. This is a huge
9:50
Speaker 2: thing that's been exposed, and there he is the presumptive,
9:57
Speaker 2: the hopeful for people on the line. I know people
9:59
Speaker 2: who went to go, like when he was in Columbus,
10:01
Speaker 2: they went to go see him and meet him, and
10:04
Speaker 2: they were say, he's going to be the vice president.
10:07
Speaker 2: Useful idiot. I told you that now for a couple
10:10
Speaker 2: of months. That's why they picked him. He was a
10:13
Speaker 2: useful idiot, and we've seen it on display now because
10:15
Speaker 2: that's what he was as governor. He was a useful idiot,
10:18
Speaker 2: the people behind the scenes manipulating the whole system so
10:22
Speaker 2: that Americans could be defrauded of billions of dollars. This
10:29
Speaker 2: is how you take down a country. This is how
10:32
Speaker 2: you take down an empire from the inside, with a
10:36
Speaker 2: useful idiot sitting there in the driver's seat, not aware
10:40
Speaker 2: or complicit. But I think he wasn't aware. Maybe I'm
10:44
Speaker 2: giving him the benefit of the doubt. I don't know.
10:47
Speaker 2: I know they wanted him to be VP, which tells
10:49
Speaker 2: me that they saw him as a useful idiot. The
10:52
Speaker 2: previous VP was a useful idiot, and they decided to
10:56
Speaker 2: make her the top of the ticket with no election,
11:00
Speaker 2: no primary. They just said she gets to be the
11:03
Speaker 2: candidate because they knew she was their pick for VP,
11:07
Speaker 2: because she was a useful idiot. And by the way,
11:12
Speaker 2: the president the top of the ticket. Biden useful idiot
11:17
Speaker 2: in a very different, very very sad way. In his prime, sure,
11:20
Speaker 2: Biden was not an idiot. I mean I didn't agree
11:24
Speaker 2: with a lot of what he said, especially the real racist,
11:27
Speaker 2: sexist stuff. I really didn't agree with that. But a
11:30
Speaker 2: lot of his politics, no, I didn't agree with. I
11:33
Speaker 2: didn't agree with some of his anti Catholic Catholicism. Didn't
11:38
Speaker 2: agree with that. But he wasn't an idiot all those
11:42
Speaker 2: years decades that he was in government and telling us
11:46
Speaker 2: that the government wasn't any better. I mean, at some point,
11:49
Speaker 2: if you're not making it better and you're still telling
11:51
Speaker 2: people that you deserve to be in charge, they have
11:54
Speaker 2: to wake up and go, no, you're not making it better.
11:59
Speaker 2: So they had a useful idiot and they had an
12:01
Speaker 2: auto pen and they figured it out. This is how
12:04
Speaker 2: we manipulate it, and this is how we take down
12:07
Speaker 2: the country from the inside, or we just consolidate power.
12:11
Speaker 2: This goes back to the Maduro conversation. Why you know
12:14
Speaker 2: yesterday he was in court and he pled not guilty
12:18
Speaker 2: and says he was the duly elected leader and all
12:20
Speaker 2: those things. This is why people go, well, why if
12:28
Speaker 2: socialism leads to this, why does the left want it?
12:32
Speaker 2: And that's why they don't like people like this being exposed.
12:35
Speaker 2: They don't want the exposure of how the takedown goes
12:40
Speaker 2: socialism to communism to dictatorship. It's the way the system
12:44
Speaker 2: works on a large scale, and we talked about it yesterday. Look,
12:48
Speaker 2: you can say, well, communism and the rights contacts can
12:52
Speaker 2: work very small, very very small, and even then there's hiccups,
12:57
Speaker 2: but it doesn't open a door for a dictator. It
12:59
Speaker 2: doesn't open door for absolute corruption and absolute power from someone.
13:06
Speaker 2: And Venezuela was a perfect example of how that could
13:09
Speaker 2: play out. And that's how that's how it always plays
13:12
Speaker 2: out eventually, and you have people on the left. You
13:16
Speaker 2: got mom Donnie in New York who was one of
13:18
Speaker 2: the first ones to come out and say I have
13:20
Speaker 2: problems with this and how it happened. Of course you do.
13:23
Speaker 2: You don't want this curtain pulled back. You don't want
13:25
Speaker 2: the exposed eventual ending that things come to with these governments.
13:35
Speaker 2: You don't want people to realize. This is why there's
13:39
Speaker 2: so many people who say, you have to fight to
13:42
Speaker 2: make sure this doesn't happen. You have to make sure
13:45
Speaker 2: that people are aware that it's bad. And like someone
13:50
Speaker 2: made the point that we needed Mom Donnie to win
13:54
Speaker 2: just so that people can see how bad socialism is.
13:58
Speaker 2: There's some truth to that. But the the other problem,
14:00
Speaker 2: of course, is now here he is. And I don't
14:03
Speaker 2: think he's a useful idiot as much as I mean
14:05
Speaker 2: maybe he is. I think he's a little bit more
14:08
Speaker 2: complicit in the plan. I think he's got connections around
14:13
Speaker 2: the world, and I think that there's people that are
14:15
Speaker 2: going to use him. They're going to utilize him in
14:18
Speaker 2: a very negative way, with one of our great cities.
14:21
Speaker 2: Some would argue our greatest city. So yes, the useful
14:30
Speaker 2: idiot that would have been vice president disgraced, had to
14:34
Speaker 2: step down. He's not going to run for a third term.
14:37
Speaker 2: He's been exposed as a useful idiot. What happened to
14:40
Speaker 2: Joe Biden when he was exposed as a useful idiot?
14:43
Speaker 2: And again, his idiocy is not so much in idiocy
14:46
Speaker 2: as it was just in his lack of cognition. Not
14:50
Speaker 2: mocking him for it. Too much of it in my
14:53
Speaker 2: family for me to marck it, wouldn't do it. But
14:55
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people that are currently in my
14:57
Speaker 2: family dealing with memory issues. And there are current people
15:01
Speaker 2: in my family who struggle with these very things. I
15:06
Speaker 2: would not want them to be president. Would not. I
15:11
Speaker 2: know that I have multiple family members who have passed
15:15
Speaker 2: with issues with it. There's a real possibility that this
15:18
Speaker 2: is in my future. Wouldn't mock it for anything. But
15:22
Speaker 2: you also have to understand there's a point sometimes in
15:25
Speaker 2: your adulthood where you may have to tell your parents
15:30
Speaker 2: you can't drive anymore. We're going to take the keys away.
15:35
Speaker 2: And that's what we dealt with with that useful idiot.
15:38
Speaker 2: It was someone who they said, Hey, we're going to
15:40
Speaker 2: put you in the driver's seat. It's going to be
15:42
Speaker 2: like Cannonball Run. You're going to be the monkey in
15:44
Speaker 2: the front seat and we're going to be in the
15:46
Speaker 2: back driving the car. That's exactly what it was. It
15:51
Speaker 2: was cannonball Run. You got the chimp in the front
15:54
Speaker 2: seat and then you got the people really running things
15:58
Speaker 2: with the auto pen back in the back seat. That
16:01
Speaker 2: Cannonball runner too. It was one of them either way.
16:05
Speaker 2: And you know what this tells me, I need to
16:06
Speaker 2: go back and revisit the Cannonball Run franchise. Listen to
16:11
Speaker 2: Burt Reynolds and the credit since so this is the
16:16
Speaker 2: latest he was exposed. Biden was exposed at the debate, right.
16:20
Speaker 2: Harris was ultimately exposed really when she ran in a
16:23
Speaker 2: primary before and people realized she's an idiot. And then
16:28
Speaker 2: they said, we're just going to make her the nominee
16:30
Speaker 2: because we're going to get Democrats to vote for because
16:32
Speaker 2: Black people will vote for automatically, Indian people are going
16:35
Speaker 2: to vote for because she can claim both of those,
16:37
Speaker 2: and then we'll figure out the rest with everybody else.
16:40
Speaker 2: Hopefully we only piss off and of Jewish people by
16:44
Speaker 2: supporting the pro Palestine supporters, the Gaze for Palestine groups.
16:50
Speaker 2: We don't want to piss them off, but if we
16:52
Speaker 2: only piss off a certain number of them, we can
16:54
Speaker 2: hang on to the Jewish vote and just enough, and
16:58
Speaker 2: of course we're just going to keep telling the Hispanic
17:01
Speaker 2: vote that Trump is racist. And it just didn't pan
17:03
Speaker 2: out the way they thought it would at all. So
17:07
Speaker 2: that exposure was there and now we see exactly why
17:10
Speaker 2: Tim Walls was the pick useful idiot. No more. He's

Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
19:32
Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you. And while
19:34
Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
19:37
Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
19:39
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
19:43
Speaker 2: you want it to be, and you need some repair
19:45
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
19:48
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
19:52
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
19:55
Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or
19:58
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
20:02
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
20:04
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
20:08
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
20:10
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know,
20:14
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
20:16
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
20:19
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
20:20
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
20:23
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
20:26
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
20:29
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
20:32
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, And they do
20:35
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five
20:38
Speaker 2: hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred
20:42
Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
20:46
Speaker 2: after the break. So you've probably heard of dry January.
20:58
Speaker 2: It's the whole premis behind you know, people that decide
21:01
Speaker 2: not to drink throughout the month of January, maybe after
21:06
Speaker 2: a long season of parties and gatherings and drinking. Some
21:12
Speaker 2: cases you're celebrating, some cases, you know, it's it's a
21:16
Speaker 2: downtime for some people over the holidays and maybe they're drinking,
21:19
Speaker 2: and some people kick off the new year and say, well,
21:23
Speaker 2: need to cut back on that. It's partly a calorie thing.
21:27
Speaker 2: Drinking calories is not usually a good thing to begin with.
21:31
Speaker 2: Trying to explain to my fourteen year old who really
21:34
Speaker 2: really loves sweet tea, drinking calories not always the way
21:39
Speaker 2: to go. It's just often not the way to go.
21:42
Speaker 2: I mean, there's some things you have to do that with.
21:44
Speaker 2: But many will kick off the year and they're already,
21:47
Speaker 2: you know, now five six days deep into the dry
21:53
Speaker 2: January and they say between fifteen to thirty five percent
21:56
Speaker 2: of drinkers basically swear off expected to swear off alcohol
22:01
Speaker 2: throughout the month of January. According to research from Mourning
22:05
Speaker 2: consult or is it consult I'm not familiar with Mourning
22:09
Speaker 2: consult ninety percent of those taking the booze brink for
22:14
Speaker 2: a break for health benefit. Seventy three percent say it's
22:17
Speaker 2: a way to save money in the new year. That's
22:19
Speaker 2: another aspect of it too. If you're those participating in
22:23
Speaker 2: dried January, there are some health benefits according to experts,
22:26
Speaker 2: better sleep, weight loss, more energy, lower cholesterol, improve mood,
22:31
Speaker 2: decrease diabetes risk, and lower blood pressure. So just something
22:36
Speaker 2: to think about now. Some people say, look, we still
22:41
Speaker 2: have things to do in January. We can't just go
22:45
Speaker 2: completely alcohol free, And you know, that's just where some
22:51
Speaker 2: people are with it, and those people maybe are participating
22:54
Speaker 2: in what's called damp January. You don't cut it out
22:58
Speaker 2: entirely for the month, but you significantly cut back. You
23:02
Speaker 2: limit yourself to just one or two drinks a week.
23:04
Speaker 2: The idea of damp January is not to deprive yourself
23:08
Speaker 2: of having that Friday night glass of wine while watching TV,
23:11
Speaker 2: but to limit your intake and examine your relationship with alcohol.
23:17
Speaker 2: So there's there's that, I guess I've been participating in
23:25
Speaker 2: you know, damp my whole life. I don't. I don't really.
23:28
Speaker 2: It's a couple of drinks, maybe a month at the most.
23:32
Speaker 2: It's kind of where I'm at with it. And then
23:34
Speaker 2: some are giving up on the whole idea of dry January.
23:37
Speaker 2: Gen Z apparently, according to a global survey, says that
23:42
Speaker 2: fewer young drinkers are signing up for the month long
23:45
Speaker 2: sobriety in January, and the survey says in the UK,
23:48
Speaker 2: participation dropped from thirty three percent in twenty twenty four
23:52
Speaker 2: to twenty four percent last year, and Australia saw an
23:56
Speaker 2: even bigger dip oi thirty nine percent to twenty four percent. France, Italy,
24:01
Speaker 2: Brazil reported declines. The US stayed mostly flat though. The
24:06
Speaker 2: only country that is bucking the trend though is Mexico,
24:09
Speaker 2: and they are basically doing it more. It rose slightly.
24:15
Speaker 2: So just some things to think about there as you
24:20
Speaker 2: and it's not too late to start. If it's something
24:23
Speaker 2: that you've decided that you want to do, you can
24:25
Speaker 2: always start. It's like, you know, the whole It's why
24:27
Speaker 2: I don't really like the idea of New Year's resolutions.
24:30
Speaker 2: This idea or premise that you can only start fresh
24:34
Speaker 2: at the start of the new year. You could do
24:36
Speaker 2: it on the sixth. It's okay. A lot of people
24:39
Speaker 2: have already given up. You know, they've already said no, no, no,
24:43
Speaker 2: the resolutions aren't working out. I'm done with it. You
24:46
Speaker 2: can start them whenever you want. You can start them.
24:49
Speaker 2: I mean, I realized the premise behind it's a new year,
24:52
Speaker 2: a new fresh start for things, and for some people
24:55
Speaker 2: it's easier to start habits that way. But how about
24:58
Speaker 2: for relationships. We talked about relationships a bit yesterday, but
25:02
Speaker 2: basically twenty twenty six, according to the trend in relationships
25:07
Speaker 2: for dating, they say the trend for this year ditching
25:10
Speaker 2: the drama and trying to date with clarity and intention.
25:15
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what it should have been all along, right,
25:18
Speaker 2: That's really how it should be all along. That's what
25:22
Speaker 2: I try to tell my kids. It's like, you know,
25:26
Speaker 2: these young things, these young relationships, they're part of the
25:30
Speaker 2: whole process. Don't get too attached. I mean, if it
25:34
Speaker 2: starts to become clear, but then you're gonna hit a
25:37
Speaker 2: point where there's gonna be some intention and clarity with it.
25:41
Speaker 2: I didn't use those words, but I'm using their words.
25:44
Speaker 2: So basically, the idea here is clear coding, no more
25:48
Speaker 2: playing guessing games. That's basically what. More than how most
25:53
Speaker 2: two thirds of daters say they want up front honesty.
25:56
Speaker 2: They don't want necessarily casual flings unless that's clear from
26:01
Speaker 2: both sides. Otherwise they want to know if you're looking
26:04
Speaker 2: for actual commitment, emotional vibe coding basically, wear your heart
26:10
Speaker 2: on your sleeve. Let people know where you are emotionally.
26:13
Speaker 2: Another trend is hot take dating. Strong opinions are now sexy,
26:19
Speaker 2: and it's not about avoiding politics. It's about being authentic
26:24
Speaker 2: in your debate with each other. What a concept. I
26:27
Speaker 2: don't know that that's going to work, but that's fine.
26:29
Speaker 2: If that's what people want to do. I think there
26:31
Speaker 2: may be one side more open to that than the other.
26:33
Speaker 2: I hope I'm not just throwing darts. I hope both
26:36
Speaker 2: sides can do that. And then for influence, dating kind
26:39
Speaker 2: of being a group chat affair, so basically double dates,
26:43
Speaker 2: advice from friends, relationship talk among friends, all those sorts
26:48
Speaker 2: of things. So that's what's happening in the dating world
26:51
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. That'll do it for this Tuesday
26:56
Speaker 2: edition of the show. It is Tuesday, you lose track
26:59
Speaker 2: of the days when it's the Christmas break. That'll do
27:03
Speaker 2: it for this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks to
