Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning
0:08
Speaker 1: Show Monday morning.
0:11
Speaker 2: It's the ninth day of February. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:15
Speaker 2: joining me. Kind of a late night for me last
0:19
Speaker 2: night because I, you know, watched the super Bowl. That's
0:22
Speaker 2: what a lot of people were doing. We haven't hit
0:25
Speaker 2: that point yet where we get the Monday after the
0:28
Speaker 2: super Bowl off. If they go to one more game
0:31
Speaker 2: in each season, that will push the super Bowl back
0:35
Speaker 2: one more week, which, hey, next week is a holiday weekend.
0:41
Speaker 2: Oh sorry this coming. I mean, technically I say next,
0:44
Speaker 2: but it's the next weekend we have with President's Day
0:48
Speaker 2: weekend looming. So if you know, for some crazy reason,
0:55
Speaker 2: they end up adding that game, yeah, it will push
0:57
Speaker 2: the super Bowl back to where we will have an
1:01
Speaker 2: actual holiday Monday after the super Bowl, something people have
1:05
Speaker 2: been asking for for quite some time. So it could happen.
1:10
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, a lot of people a little tired,
1:13
Speaker 2: a lot of people will be calling out, a lot
1:14
Speaker 2: of people will be missing work because you know, some
1:18
Speaker 2: people party it a little bit too hard. We Jill
1:23
Speaker 2: and I and Luke, we attended a Super Bowl party
1:27
Speaker 2: that had one of those you know, slushy machines and
1:32
Speaker 2: they were making you know, frozen margaritas. We behaved ourselves.
1:37
Speaker 2: I did have some, not much, so I'm fine today.
1:42
Speaker 2: We were there for most of the game, and then
1:45
Speaker 2: at some point, maybe at third quarter, we were like,
1:49
Speaker 2: we need to leave so that we can be home.
1:53
Speaker 2: Probably should have just left during the halftime show, because
1:56
Speaker 2: I went outside. My halftime show was me sitting next
2:00
Speaker 2: to their pool, staring at the stars. What I could
2:03
Speaker 2: see through the clouds. That was my halftime show. I
2:06
Speaker 2: did flip over to see what was going on on
2:08
Speaker 2: Turning Point USA, whatever there is. But you know, I
2:12
Speaker 2: didn't really know most of their artists anyway, so you know,
2:17
Speaker 2: I mean I knew who they were. I guess. I
2:19
Speaker 2: just it's not was it. I don't know. None of
2:22
Speaker 2: these halftime shows are really geared for me. I mean,
2:25
Speaker 2: the kid Rock, I guess is trying to hit my demographic.
2:28
Speaker 2: But it's been a while since a halftime show was
2:32
Speaker 2: really like we're making this for you, at least as
2:36
Speaker 2: far as I can remember. I mean, I haven't really
2:37
Speaker 2: gone back, and I don't remember one that I really thought, man,
2:41
Speaker 2: they're putting this together specifically for me. So anyway, more
2:47
Speaker 2: on the halftime show coming up. There's a few things
2:50
Speaker 2: about the Super Bowl itself that worth noting. And this
2:59
Speaker 2: is a wild experience when you think about the career
3:03
Speaker 2: thus far of Sam Darnold, who like five teams over
3:08
Speaker 2: what nine seasons, never could find that fit that made
3:13
Speaker 2: sense for him, and then he ended up in Seattle
3:16
Speaker 2: and then something they're clicked and it just fit and
3:19
Speaker 2: he had the players around him to allow him to
3:23
Speaker 2: excel and succeed. And that's a great story. What a
3:27
Speaker 2: fantastic story in sports. Now, I say all of this
3:33
Speaker 2: from the perspective of I did not have any dog
3:37
Speaker 2: in the fight anything whatsoever. Okay, I'm not a fan
3:42
Speaker 2: of either team. I don't dislike either team. I think personally,
3:47
Speaker 2: when you start looking at in sports, when you look
3:50
Speaker 2: at teams that have the most championships in a sport
3:55
Speaker 2: and your team is kind of lingering around in contention
3:59
Speaker 2: for that. You know, as a New York Giants fan
4:04
Speaker 2: with four Super Bowls, you know Patriots are there, but
4:07
Speaker 2: they're not out completely out of reach. They've you know,
4:10
Speaker 2: they're ahead, and I just look at the thing of
4:15
Speaker 2: like the Patriots, if they've won a lot, like I don't,
4:18
Speaker 2: they don't need anymore. They're tied for the most they
4:21
Speaker 2: don't need another one. But if they had won, it
4:24
Speaker 2: wouldn't have been a problem for me. I think Drake May,
4:26
Speaker 2: that's a cool story. The Giants wanted him badly. He
4:30
Speaker 2: did not have a great game, but as I think,
4:32
Speaker 2: one of the commentators are both of the commentators last night,
4:35
Speaker 2: it was Tarico and Collinsworth, and as they pointed out,
4:39
Speaker 2: you can't blame the quarterback for the lack of production
4:42
Speaker 2: through most of the game. It was a team effort
4:46
Speaker 2: for sure, of not blocking and and you know, not
4:50
Speaker 2: everybody not doing their assignments. A young quarterback doesn't help
4:54
Speaker 2: on the biggest stage. But May has been fantastic. He
4:57
Speaker 2: was one vote, I guess short of winning MVP that
5:01
Speaker 2: went to Matt Stafford, who I got a lot of
5:03
Speaker 2: friends that are Georgia fans really happy for Matt Stafford.
5:06
Speaker 2: I was happy for Matt Stafford. So there's a lot
5:12
Speaker 2: to this game from the dynamic of this accomplishment of
5:18
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold. I had, as I said, no specific interest
5:23
Speaker 2: in it. A year ago. I did because I didn't
5:27
Speaker 2: like either team. You know, the joke for me whenever
5:30
Speaker 2: you get a game like the Chiefs and the Eagles
5:33
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl, and people were saying, who are
5:36
Speaker 2: you pulling for? And I would just say, Bain. If
5:38
Speaker 2: you saw the movie The Dark Knight Rises, you know,
5:40
Speaker 2: Bain blew up the field underneath the under That's not
5:44
Speaker 2: really what I want. No, I didn't want that at all.
5:47
Speaker 2: It's just a stupid joke. But the reality is I
5:50
Speaker 2: don't like either team, and I would make the jokes
5:52
Speaker 2: sometimes I'm just pulling for ankle springs, and that's also
5:55
Speaker 2: not true. I don't want anybody to get hurt. That's
5:58
Speaker 2: not what I want to see. Sprains aren't that bad.
6:01
Speaker 2: It just means they got to go out of the game.
6:03
Speaker 2: But that's not what I want. I didn't want that either.
6:06
Speaker 2: And just as somebody who hates the Philadelphia Eagles, iways
6:09
Speaker 2: had to pull for the Chiefs, who I didn't want
6:11
Speaker 2: them to win anymore Super Bowls either. So this was
6:14
Speaker 2: a little bit of an opportunity for me to just
6:16
Speaker 2: watch the game and enjoy it and just let it
6:18
Speaker 2: play out, let it happen the way it was supposed
6:20
Speaker 2: to happen. Let the teams and see what story emerges
6:25
Speaker 2: from it. Kenneth Walker the third Super Bowl MVP. That's
6:28
Speaker 2: a great story. And for me personally, the only connection
6:34
Speaker 2: that I had to either team is one of the
6:39
Speaker 2: members of the dance team. I don't know if I
6:41
Speaker 2: mentioned this last week. I may have even incorrectly identified
6:44
Speaker 2: her as one of the cheerleaders. But most of the
6:47
Speaker 2: teams don't really have cheerleaders anymore. They're really like a
6:49
Speaker 2: dance squad or that kind of thing. And she has
6:53
Speaker 2: connections here to Columbus, Georgia, so that's it. She painted
6:59
Speaker 2: a Christmas or ornament that's hanging on my Christmas tree
7:02
Speaker 2: every year. So and I've talked about that before, maybe
7:06
Speaker 2: even here, but to friends or other podcasts and things.
7:09
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, I've got an ornament on my
7:11
Speaker 2: Christmas tree painted by one of the Seahawks dance squad.
7:15
Speaker 2: Probably said cheerleader, not exactly accurate. So that was it.
7:21
Speaker 2: That was it, as far as me pulling for one
7:23
Speaker 2: team or another and wanting to see the Seahawks get
7:27
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl, for her to know that she
7:29
Speaker 2: would have that experience, she would be part of this
7:32
Speaker 2: and now to know that she was part you know,
7:34
Speaker 2: they talk about the twelves with the Seahawks, and to
7:38
Speaker 2: know that she's part of that up close as part
7:40
Speaker 2: of the you know organization, as part of the twelves
7:44
Speaker 2: for them, but in a professional standpoint, she's part of
7:49
Speaker 2: the squad that is the support system of that team.
7:53
Speaker 2: So what a cool experience for her. I'm very proud
7:56
Speaker 2: for her, very excited for her. I know her mom.
7:58
Speaker 2: I was texting with her mom yes day. I know
8:01
Speaker 2: how excited, Like during the post game, I'm texting her
8:06
Speaker 2: mom like, oh my gosh. And just such a cool
8:10
Speaker 2: experience for her, for that whole family. I know that's great,
8:13
Speaker 2: and I'm really excited for them. So that's as much
8:15
Speaker 2: as I had in it. I could just sit back
8:17
Speaker 2: and watch the game and enjoy it. That's all I
8:19
Speaker 2: wanted to do, and it was great. Occasionally you get
8:22
Speaker 2: those games, and I know a lot of people are
8:24
Speaker 2: that way. I have friends that watch games and they
8:26
Speaker 2: make bets and that's their interest in it. That's whatever.
8:29
Speaker 2: It's not me. I don't have any interest in gambling
8:32
Speaker 2: in that way. There's also people that I know who
8:36
Speaker 2: really every game, they don't care. There were a lot
8:38
Speaker 2: of people at this Super Bowl party last night weren't
8:42
Speaker 2: even paying attention to the game. Didn't care. It was
8:45
Speaker 2: just a reason to be together and hanging out and
8:47
Speaker 2: having food and all of that. And our hosts, Joiners,
8:50
Speaker 2: thank you. It was great. We loved it. Luke did
8:54
Speaker 2: not get to come last year because our church had
8:57
Speaker 2: the youth group had Mario Kart competition and he and
9:01
Speaker 2: Jake were the two finalists, and Luke beat Jake in
9:04
Speaker 2: the finals for that last year. So this was Luke's
9:08
Speaker 2: first time coming to that party and looks like this
9:09
Speaker 2: is a pretty good super Bowl party. It's like, yes, yes,
9:13
Speaker 2: it was so anyway looking forward to the next one
9:17
Speaker 2: with them. But you know, I am one of those
9:20
Speaker 2: people that, yes, I get very into my team and
9:24
Speaker 2: I don't like other teams, and you know, that's just
9:28
Speaker 2: what you do. And then you have categories of teams
9:30
Speaker 2: that you go, I don't like them, but i'd pull
9:33
Speaker 2: for them in this situation. I don't like them, I
9:37
Speaker 2: would never pull for them. I kind of like them,
9:40
Speaker 2: all right, like a couple of their players, whatever, But
9:43
Speaker 2: I would never pull for a team that's in the
9:45
Speaker 2: same division as my team. Never. I can't do that.
9:50
Speaker 2: It baffled me that had I had friends that were
9:54
Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons fans. They were Atlanta Falcons die hard fans,
10:00
Speaker 2: but because they also were Auburn fans, they pulled for
10:02
Speaker 2: the Panthers in cam Newton. And that doesn't make any
10:05
Speaker 2: sense to me. If a player that comes from my
10:09
Speaker 2: college team goes through the rival of my pro team,
10:15
Speaker 2: like Jalen Hurts, you're dead to me. You're dead to me,
10:19
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts. I don't can't pull for you just can't
10:23
Speaker 2: do it. And there's a several automatic players on that
10:25
Speaker 2: Eagles team. I couldn't poorfam last year. Anyway. That's the
10:28
Speaker 2: way I look at it now. The other part of
10:30
Speaker 2: this whole thing that was, of course a big part
10:33
Speaker 2: of the conversation that was the halftime show, as the
10:37
Speaker 2: NFL decided to celebrate Black History Month with an all
10:41
Speaker 2: Spanish speaking Super Bowl halftime show. Well done, well done.
10:48
Speaker 2: We made it a point to have the black national anthem.
10:52
Speaker 2: Let every voice saying that is the name of it, right,
10:59
Speaker 2: but they may sure to have that, but they did not. Yeah,
11:06
Speaker 2: let every voice and sing. I know, I know, I
11:08
Speaker 2: didn't quite have it right. Lift every voice and sing,
11:12
Speaker 2: but to then have an all Spanish it was a
11:16
Speaker 2: great way to really get into, you know, the second
11:20
Speaker 2: week of Black History Month. So good good on the
11:23
Speaker 2: NFL for that with an all Spanish. I don't have
11:26
Speaker 2: a problem with them doing an all Spanish halftime show.
11:30
Speaker 2: I'm joking about that. I do think it's kind of
11:32
Speaker 2: funny that they did it during Black History Month. But
11:37
Speaker 2: what's fascinating to me about it is that they walked
11:40
Speaker 2: into this with we're going to do something controversial, We're
11:44
Speaker 2: going to do something that's going to alienate about half
11:47
Speaker 2: of the country from caring about this, and I haven't
11:52
Speaker 2: cared about a halftime show in a while. Put me
11:57
Speaker 2: in the group that says the Toms and the U
12:00
Speaker 2: two's and the prints.
12:02
Speaker 1: And.
12:04
Speaker 2: Those shows to me were exciting and fun. And then
12:08
Speaker 2: there were others. There were some artists that you go, Okay,
12:11
Speaker 2: Katy Perry's going to get up there and do her
12:13
Speaker 2: thing or whatever, and that's that's fine. And the justin
12:16
Speaker 2: Timberlake thing, we know what a complete circus that turned
12:19
Speaker 2: into and why that was known forever and lives on
12:25
Speaker 2: in infamy. But it's just been a long time since
12:33
Speaker 2: I have felt like this is going to be something
12:37
Speaker 2: that they really want me to tune into, and they
12:40
Speaker 2: made it a point to make sure that, you know,
12:44
Speaker 2: this was not going to be something that a lot
12:48
Speaker 2: of people in my specific demographic were going to be into.
12:52
Speaker 2: There were people who at this party who were watching
12:54
Speaker 2: it and they honestly weren't really like into it, but
13:00
Speaker 2: they were watching it. And I'm just kind of looking
13:04
Speaker 2: back at some of the you know, Usher was fine,
13:06
Speaker 2: Rihanno was. I'm just saying, as far as trying to
13:09
Speaker 2: pick an audience a show that was the audience was
13:11
Speaker 2: specifically targeting me, right, And I'm just Coldplay isn't quite
13:20
Speaker 2: I mean, it kind of is. Maybe I don't know,
13:23
Speaker 2: but I'm just kind of scanning through some and I'm
13:25
Speaker 2: trying to think maybe they thought, you know, a Madonna's
13:28
Speaker 2: not really a so the who There you Go twenty ten,
13:33
Speaker 2: that's probably the last one that was really like here
13:35
Speaker 2: you go. And then they had Springsteen and Tom Petty
13:39
Speaker 2: and Prince. They had a run there. But I get it,
13:43
Speaker 2: like these artists have all had their time and at
13:47
Speaker 2: some point, you go, you know, we're gonna move We're
13:50
Speaker 2: gonna move forward. And another question I've got is four
13:57
Speaker 2: when Kid Rock was part of the show with with
14:01
Speaker 2: all of those different artists, and I guess that was
14:06
Speaker 2: the year with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. Did people
14:11
Speaker 2: complain about kid Rock? Then? A lot of people have
14:14
Speaker 2: gotten really high and mighty kid Rock doing the Turning
14:18
Speaker 2: Point USA halftime show. A lot of people were like, Oh,
14:21
Speaker 2: this guy's a weird pervert or whatever, and it's like, okay,
14:27
Speaker 2: people didn't like there's a lot of people who just
14:29
Speaker 2: celebrate all the halftime shows. They're just happy that it's
14:33
Speaker 2: like watching people cheer on their kids in sports, and
14:36
Speaker 2: they just go as long as nobody gets hurt and
14:38
Speaker 2: everybody has a good time. I don't care who wins.
14:41
Speaker 2: I know I have a lot of friends that that's
14:42
Speaker 2: what they that's how they approach it anyway. I look,
14:47
Speaker 2: halftime show wasn't for me. They don't care if I'm
14:51
Speaker 2: watching it. They know I'm not. I haven't been interested
14:54
Speaker 2: in a while. I think all of that comes into play.
14:57
Speaker 2: I did sit out by the pool of this house
15:00
Speaker 2: and a couple things were happening. There's a lot of
15:03
Speaker 2: people there, a lot of noise, a little overstimulation. Gave
15:07
Speaker 2: me a chance to just go outside and just be
15:10
Speaker 2: by myself for a little bit, which was great, and
15:13
Speaker 2: again do a little sky watching a little bit. This
15:16
Speaker 2: house is kind of a little bit away from some
15:17
Speaker 2: of the city lights, so I could kind of look
15:19
Speaker 2: at the stars and just enjoy a little piece and quiet.
15:24
Speaker 2: I did pull up The Turning Point Show a little
15:27
Speaker 2: on my phone again, not you know, I didn't. It
15:31
Speaker 2: wasn't into it. That one wasn't made for me either.
15:35
Speaker 2: I mean it was made for me in the sense
15:37
Speaker 2: that they think you're gonna want this as an alternative,
15:40
Speaker 2: and that's fine, but me not watching either one of them.
15:43
Speaker 2: I guess the one that was streaming I had an
15:45
Speaker 2: impact on that, but me not watching the Bad Bunny Show.
15:50
Speaker 2: But what I want to point out about this is
15:53
Speaker 2: that someone I saw in the store yesterday, one of
15:58
Speaker 2: the employees in the store that I've read, just say
16:00
Speaker 2: hi too. She's a really nice lady, and she said,
16:02
Speaker 2: I can't wait for the halftime show. That's great, And
16:06
Speaker 2: she said, uh yeah, I just I know there's a
16:09
Speaker 2: lot of controversy. I just hope nothing bad happens. And
16:12
Speaker 2: I thought, what are we talking about? What bad thing
16:15
Speaker 2: do you think is going to happen? And you know
16:18
Speaker 2: there's always talk about bad things are going to happen,
16:20
Speaker 2: and I just thought, well, maybe I didn't say this
16:23
Speaker 2: to her, But that's when I think, maybe that's that's
16:25
Speaker 2: a sign you picked the wrong halftime show. If you're
16:28
Speaker 2: picking a halftime show that has the potential for some
16:32
Speaker 2: bad blood and bad things to happen, why are you
16:35
Speaker 2: picking it? What is? And I know there's money involved.
16:38
Speaker 2: I know that's really the whole point, that's it's all
16:41
Speaker 2: about money, But what's the end game for this? If
16:45
Speaker 2: something bad had happened during the super Bowl? And don't
16:49
Speaker 2: get me wrong, it's it's hardly possible for something bad
16:53
Speaker 2: to happen during the halftime show. This is a little gamesmanship,
16:58
Speaker 2: that's all it is. You have people trying to star
17:00
Speaker 2: or the pot you got. The President's commented about it
17:02
Speaker 2: all these saying does it matter? Is the halftime show
17:06
Speaker 2: something that's important in our lives? I know it's something
17:09
Speaker 2: that people like to talk about when it's and for
17:12
Speaker 2: the Latin American community, good. If this is what you
17:16
Speaker 2: wanted and this is what you got, great for you.
17:18
Speaker 2: I'm happy for you. That's fantastic. I just can't stress
17:22
Speaker 2: enough this show was not made for me, and it's
17:26
Speaker 2: never going to be made for me again. It's that
17:28
Speaker 2: part is done. That part of my life at almost
17:32
Speaker 2: fifty one. I'm turning fifty one this week, that part
17:36
Speaker 2: of my life is done. They're not gonna have any
17:38
Speaker 2: more halftime shows where they go, here's the one that
17:41
Speaker 2: these like fifty is sheer old guys, They're gonna really
17:45
Speaker 2: like this show. It's not for us anymore. That means
17:48
Speaker 2: it's a great opportunity to go to the bathroom, get
17:52
Speaker 2: another beverage, get yourself something to eat, go do some stargaze,
17:58
Speaker 2: and and you know, for a little walk outside. That's
18:01
Speaker 2: okay too. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State
18:04
Speaker 2: University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the
18:10
Speaker 2: youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that
18:15
Speaker 2: really of all ages. I mean, they do it for
18:18

Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
18:55
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else,
19:00
Speaker 2: one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
19:02
Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
19:06
Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
19:11
Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space

Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
19:57
Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
20:02
Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
20:06
Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
20:09
Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
20:13
Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of square in that
20:16
Speaker 2: away for you, and while they're there, you can always
20:18
Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
20:21
Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
20:25
Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
20:27
Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
20:30
Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
20:34
Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
20:37
Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got
20:40
Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in
20:44
Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
20:47
Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
20:50
Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
20:52
Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
20:57
Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
20:58
Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
21:01
Speaker 2: man cavid, you'd like to be able to open the
21:03
Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
21:06
Speaker 2: can do that for you as well. And again they
21:08
Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
21:11
Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
21:14
Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help.
21:17
Speaker 2: And they do those as well. Seven oh six thy

21:28
Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show right after the break. So yesterday, as
21:40
Speaker 2: part of a Super Bowl Sunday tradition, second largest day
21:44
Speaker 2: for food consumption in the US, behind only Thanksgiving, it
21:49
Speaker 2: was estimated a consumption of twelve hundred to twenty four
21:55
Speaker 2: hundred calories consumed during the game yesterday. That's a lot,
22:01
Speaker 2: you know, you don't just during the game. That's not
22:06
Speaker 2: counting the rest of the day. That's not counting the
22:08
Speaker 2: other food. That's just you know, what you ate, that's
22:13
Speaker 2: what you ate during the game. That's a lot, you know,
22:17
Speaker 2: it does span you know, a period of time, and
22:19
Speaker 2: there's also some beverages. I'm not a big fan of
22:24
Speaker 2: drinking calories. I mentioned that I did, you know, hit
22:27
Speaker 2: the frozen Margarita's on the slushy machine. So I did
22:32
Speaker 2: drink some yesterday as far as calories go. But I
22:35
Speaker 2: also didn't need a crazy amount of food yesterday, so
22:39
Speaker 2: I feel not too bad about it. I know a
22:41
Speaker 2: lot of people are struggling with it today though, and
22:44
Speaker 2: people are calling out from work. There's gonna be a
22:47
Speaker 2: lot going on with that today. There's also a lot
22:49
Speaker 2: of people that are sick right now. So if you're
22:51
Speaker 2: an employer and you think that maybe you have an
22:53
Speaker 2: employee that called out solely because they party too much
22:58
Speaker 2: watching the Super Bowl, there's a chance that they're actually sick,
23:03
Speaker 2: because that is a real possibility. So just just know that,
23:08
Speaker 2: Just know that that's entirely a possibility and that's what
23:12
Speaker 2: people are dealing with. It's also worth noting that the
23:17
Speaker 2: Winter Games have begun. The Winter Olympics are underway in Italy. Yeah,
23:26
Speaker 2: kind of a strange. We watched some of the opening ceremony.
23:31
Speaker 2: It was kind of weird. They it's they're so spread
23:33
Speaker 2: out around, you know, where the competitions are taking place,
23:37
Speaker 2: that they weren't really necessarily able to have the all
23:43
Speaker 2: the people in one place for that opening ceremony. So
23:46
Speaker 2: that was a little weird. That was one of those
23:48
Speaker 2: things where it was a little bit a little bit
23:52
Speaker 2: tricky when it came to everybody being able to walk
23:58
Speaker 2: in at the same time. It was because they would
24:00
Speaker 2: show a group and you'd go, that's like twelve people
24:03
Speaker 2: for that country, and then they'd show another group and
24:05
Speaker 2: you know, it looks like one hundred people, So how
24:07
Speaker 2: did we get from one group to the next group?
24:11
Speaker 2: And it was just kind of a weird. But then
24:13
Speaker 2: it made sense when you found out that they're just
24:15
Speaker 2: in different locations and that that was what was going on.
24:20
Speaker 2: So anyway, it started, and ah, the curling action. I'm
24:27
Speaker 2: all about the curling action. If you're I know that
24:31
Speaker 2: this is one of those weird sports that some people
24:33
Speaker 2: just gravitate to. I don't know what it is, but
24:35
Speaker 2: I love it. It's it's fun to watch. And if
24:39
Speaker 2: you listen to the old radio show with me and
24:42
Speaker 2: Scott Miller, you know we were all about curling and
24:46
Speaker 2: there were you know, team USA all the way. You
24:49
Speaker 2: got to have some teams to pull ford. I was
24:51
Speaker 2: like I was talking about, like, you know, there we
24:54
Speaker 2: have rivals in the Winter Olympics, Americans do someone who's
24:58
Speaker 2: not a rival, Denmark, so we can pull for Denmark
25:01
Speaker 2: on the side. That's okay, we did that Denmark at
25:05
Speaker 2: least in curling. You know, USA can't win everything, so
25:09
Speaker 2: you know you just kind of pull for them on
25:11
Speaker 2: the side, and you know, ideally you get the US
25:14
Speaker 2: and Denmark competing for the gold, you know, and then
25:18
Speaker 2: the US wins, Denmark gets silver, and then everybody comes
25:21
Speaker 2: out happy. Right. So we've been you know, getting you
25:26
Speaker 2: have to get caught up on it because it's a
25:27
Speaker 2: sport that you don't get to really watch year round.
25:30
Speaker 2: Most people don't get an opportunity to watch it year round.
25:33
Speaker 2: So we've been getting caught up on it. I think
25:35
Speaker 2: we're in a good place. Luke's really into it now.
25:39
Speaker 2: This has been like he watched it with me four
25:41
Speaker 2: years ago. Now really into it. So that's good. We've
25:46
Speaker 2: we've had the opportunity to kind of get refreshed on it.
25:51
Speaker 2: And he likes curling, but he also likes, you know,
25:53
Speaker 2: ice hockey, which it's hard to disagree with that. So
25:58
Speaker 2: this is one other thing relating to the Super Bowl.
26:02
Speaker 2: And I talked about this, I guess on Friday, Thursday
26:05
Speaker 2: or Friday, about the fact that people using this thing
26:10
Speaker 2: about superb Owl. It's not only is it just the
26:15
Speaker 2: trend of people saying it as the joke from the
26:19
Speaker 2: TV show What We Do in the Shadows, but it
26:22
Speaker 2: was also that people and I didn't really focus on this,
26:24
Speaker 2: but people have been using it as a way to
26:26
Speaker 2: avoid the copyright stuff with you know, you can't say
26:30
Speaker 2: super Bowl. You can't say, hey, get this for your
26:32
Speaker 2: Super Bowl party, although a lot of people will do
26:34
Speaker 2: it illegally, you can't say even the Big Game. For
26:38
Speaker 2: a while, people would get around it with the Big
26:39
Speaker 2: Game super Bowl said we're going to copyright that too,
26:42
Speaker 2: So until they copyright the superb Owl, then that's the
26:47
Speaker 2: way that people have been getting around it. And I
26:50
Speaker 2: saw it. I had not really noticed it, but I
26:52
Speaker 2: saw it the sign. I was driving past Hooters and
26:57
Speaker 2: they had a thing get your wings or something for
26:59
Speaker 2: your sup herb Owl party, and Jill pointed it out
27:03
Speaker 2: and I was like, ah, there you go. So that's
27:05
Speaker 2: an example of it where it was happening here in town.
27:08
Speaker 2: So I thought that was worth mentioning because I didn't
27:11
Speaker 2: really focus on that when I was talking about it,
27:13
Speaker 2: but that has been the way that some people have
27:15
Speaker 2: been getting around all of it. So all right, that'll
27:18
Speaker 2: do it for this Monday edition of the show. Thanks
27:21
Speaker 2: to our sponsors and patrons, Thank you for listening. I'll
27:24
