Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:05
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:08
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, seventeenth day of October. I'm Wes. Thanks for
0:15
Speaker 2: joining me. A little over like two weeks till election day,
0:24
Speaker 2: just a little over two weeks and record turnouts for
0:28
Speaker 2: early voting already this week there have been a lot
0:31
Speaker 2: of people voting, and that's a sign that kind of
0:35
Speaker 2: what we talked about a little bit yesterday. There is
0:37
Speaker 2: a certain amount of passion that people have in this election.
0:43
Speaker 2: It's a strange sort of thing where I think we
0:46
Speaker 2: have one side, and I know we talked about this yesterday,
0:49
Speaker 2: but one side is very passionate about the candidate. The
0:54
Speaker 2: other side is very passionately hating that same candidate. It's
0:59
Speaker 2: not a tip of cool sort of thing. I do
1:02
Speaker 2: wish that we could get to a point where we had,
1:06
Speaker 2: you know, a candidate on both sides that is liked,
1:09
Speaker 2: and that you had a candidate on both sides at
1:11
Speaker 2: the other side, wouldn't you know, kind of throw up
1:14
Speaker 2: in their mouth when they talk about them. But that's
1:17
Speaker 2: where we are, and that's the process that apparently is
1:21
Speaker 2: going to continue on maybe till the end of time. Now.
1:24
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if we can ever
1:26
Speaker 2: get to a point where we cut that nonsense out.
1:31
Speaker 2: And I know that this isn't the time to really
1:36
Speaker 2: figure out a way to fix it, because we're in
1:39
Speaker 2: it now, right, We're in it. This is one of
1:42
Speaker 2: those things where you know, like during the during the
1:45
Speaker 2: football season. We'll give football as an example. I think
1:49
Speaker 2: that the in full disclosure, okay, And I want to
1:54
Speaker 2: be very clear on this because I know there will
1:57
Speaker 2: be some that will say that my my issues with
2:01
Speaker 2: it are because of the team that is very successful
2:05
Speaker 2: at using it. But I am a New York Giants fan,
2:10
Speaker 2: have been in my whole life. And I say that
2:17
Speaker 2: just so that you're aware that I'm going to talk
2:19
Speaker 2: about something that the arch nemesis Philadelphia Eagles do. That's
2:26
Speaker 2: two teams that really don't like each other. The Giants
2:28
Speaker 2: don't like the Eagles. They don't like the Cowboys. They
2:30
Speaker 2: don't like the Commanders, the team formerly known as the Redskins.
2:36
Speaker 2: Little secret though truthfully, Giants fans tend to hate the
2:42
Speaker 2: Commanders the least of those three. It's one of those
2:45
Speaker 2: deals where the Giants can't win it every year, right
2:48
Speaker 2: or really at all recently, I can't win the division.
2:53
Speaker 2: But you know, then the team that you kind of
2:56
Speaker 2: go the one I most you know, be the least
3:00
Speaker 2: upset about, I guess would be Washington. So and that's
3:07
Speaker 2: kind of what we're hoping for maybe in elections one
3:10
Speaker 2: is that you can have somebody that you go, hey,
3:11
Speaker 2: they wouldn't be terrible. They don't they don't represent my politics,
3:15
Speaker 2: but they wouldn't be terrible. Right anyway, So the Eagles,
3:19
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles have a play, and if you don't
3:21
Speaker 2: watch football, you're maybe not familiar with it. They have
3:25
Speaker 2: a play that they run sometimes. They call it the
3:27
Speaker 2: tush push. The quarterback basically does like a quarterback sneak.
3:31
Speaker 2: They get this ball gets snapped to Jalen Hurts, who's
3:35
Speaker 2: the quarterback. He basically just pushes forward to get the
3:40
Speaker 2: quarterback sneak, and every possible player on the field that
3:45
Speaker 2: they can get behind him will push him forward to
3:48
Speaker 2: make sure that he gets whatever yardage he needs. And
3:50
Speaker 2: I mean they can push him forward five six yards.
3:53
Speaker 2: It's insane. This play used to be illegal, at least
3:59
Speaker 2: at the college level. I don't know that it was
4:01
Speaker 2: ever legal in the NFL until kind of recently, but
4:04
Speaker 2: they started allowing it in college, and I guess maybe
4:07
Speaker 2: the NFL. I'm really I'm not familiar with anybody really
4:10
Speaker 2: doing I remember USC did it once in college and
4:14
Speaker 2: got away with it. I think Reggie Bush or someone was,
4:18
Speaker 2: you know, pushing and you're not, Matt Lioner. Maybe it
4:22
Speaker 2: was Corec You're not. It wasn't allowed because there was
4:25
Speaker 2: concern about injury. Someone could get hurt while people are
4:29
Speaker 2: just being pushed forward in this tight rugby like formation.
4:33
Speaker 2: Everybody's just all compact and it's you know, a short, large,
4:37
Speaker 2: short yardage goal line situation and they're just pushing them forward.
4:42
Speaker 2: I don't understand why it's now just accepted in college
4:47
Speaker 2: and pro and I don't know if they can do
4:49
Speaker 2: it in high school. I don't know, but it's a
4:51
Speaker 2: silly play and I but, like I said, I feel
4:55
Speaker 2: like a need to express and disclose me being a
4:59
Speaker 2: Giants fan because some would say, oh, you just don't
5:01
Speaker 2: like it because Philadelphia does it. I wouldn't like it
5:04
Speaker 2: with anybody doing it. The Giants actually tried to do
5:07
Speaker 2: it once or they've done it a couple of times,
5:10
Speaker 2: and I don't like it in one of the plays.
5:12
Speaker 2: Their quarterback got hurt last year or two years ago,
5:15
Speaker 2: whatever it was, got injured on the play and they
5:18
Speaker 2: stopped doing it. And now they just run a traditional
5:21
Speaker 2: quarterback sneak when they need to and he just, you know,
5:24
Speaker 2: finds a little gap, squirts through there, gets his yard
5:27
Speaker 2: or two whatever they need, and that's what they do.
5:30
Speaker 2: So that's within the confines of the rules. But if
5:34
Speaker 2: someone were to come along much more important than I
5:38
Speaker 2: in the football world and say this shouldn't be allowed,
5:43
Speaker 2: they're not going to change the rules in the middle
5:46
Speaker 2: of the season. You wouldn't think They did that once
5:49
Speaker 2: with Tom Brady in the game against the Raiders when
5:52
Speaker 2: they came up with his tuck rule that they just
5:53
Speaker 2: kind of made up on the spot and all of
5:55
Speaker 2: a sudden, that's an NFL rule unless when it happens
6:00
Speaker 2: advantageous to whoever's trying to tuck it or not Tucket
6:04
Speaker 2: or whatever. We saw that over the weekend. But anyway,
6:07
Speaker 2: my point is we're two and a half a little
6:10
Speaker 2: over two and a half weeks from election day. There's
6:13
Speaker 2: no changes coming in how we do things. There's not
6:16
Speaker 2: going to be any changes between now and then. You
6:19
Speaker 2: would think there were some things that kind of just
6:22
Speaker 2: happened four years ago, and nobody really seemed to understand
6:26
Speaker 2: exactly how it all played out, but it did. Harvesting
6:31
Speaker 2: ballots and mail in ballots and all those sorts of things,
6:36
Speaker 2: your best bet if you have the opportunity. I'm just
6:39
Speaker 2: speaking to Georgia voters and Alabama voters whenever, if you
6:45
Speaker 2: get a chance to do the early vote, go do
6:47
Speaker 2: the early vote, get your vote in. Do it. It
6:50
Speaker 2: doesn't give people an opportunity to try to beat you
6:54
Speaker 2: to the punch with a mail in ballot if they've
6:56
Speaker 2: gotten one in your name, because that happened four years ago.
7:00
Speaker 2: I know people whose vote was there was an attempt
7:04
Speaker 2: to hijack their vote and vote on their behalf in Georgia,
7:09
Speaker 2: where they don't even live anymore and haven't lived for
7:11
Speaker 2: a little while now, haven't lived in the last several years,
7:14
Speaker 2: and someone tried to vote on their behalf, requested a
7:17
Speaker 2: ballot and tried to vote on their behalf. Thankfully, in
7:22
Speaker 2: that case there was someone realized that the signature wasn't right,
7:26
Speaker 2: there was an issue with that, and they were able
7:28
Speaker 2: to catch it. How many didn't they catch I guess
7:32
Speaker 2: is one of those questions that I think people can
7:34
Speaker 2: rightly ask and hope that we have a better system
7:37
Speaker 2: in place in making sure that things go the way
7:40
Speaker 2: that they should, at least based on how people actually
7:43
Speaker 2: vote and if they vote once and only in the
7:46
Speaker 2: state where they live, and those sorts of things. So
7:50
Speaker 2: they're not going to make any drastic changes between now
7:54
Speaker 2: and the actual election day. What we can hope for
7:58
Speaker 2: is that it's fair, that the votes count. Everybody gets
8:02
Speaker 2: that one chance to vote, and that's it, no shenanigans.
8:06
Speaker 2: Maybe all of the counties around Georgia will all turn
8:09
Speaker 2: in their results at about the same time. There won't
8:13
Speaker 2: be any reason for Fulton County to stay open hours
8:16
Speaker 2: and hours and hours later. We don't need that anymore.
8:21
Speaker 2: I have encouraged, you've heard me on this show encourage
8:24
Speaker 2: candidates running for office around Georgia to you know, why
8:30
Speaker 2: don't some of the more conservatives counties, larger conservative counties,
8:33
Speaker 2: Why don't they sit on their results? Why don't they
8:37
Speaker 2: just let Fulton County know, Hey, look, we're all gonna
8:40
Speaker 2: hold onto our results and once you report, within two
8:44
Speaker 2: minutes of you reporting, will report our results. Why don't
8:47
Speaker 2: we do it that way? Then there's no appearance of shenanigans.
8:52
Speaker 2: There's nothing at all there for anybody to say, Wow,
8:56
Speaker 2: they're tallying up how many votes they need, and they're
8:58
Speaker 2: gonna go find them. They're going to come up with
9:00
Speaker 2: a reason to keep the poles open. Remember four years
9:04
Speaker 2: ago they said, oh, a pipe burst in the building
9:07
Speaker 2: and we have to keep it open because we're dealing
9:09
Speaker 2: with that. And then we learned later no pipe burst.
9:12
Speaker 2: What how does that happen? How do you keep it
9:16
Speaker 2: open late because of something a building maintenance problem and
9:19
Speaker 2: then later tell everybody, oh, no, there wasn't a building
9:22
Speaker 2: maintenance problem. Well, did anybody ever stop and ask why
9:25
Speaker 2: they kept it open late? What was the reason for
9:28
Speaker 2: allowing people to vote until I don't know, nine, ten,
9:31
Speaker 2: eleven o'clock whatever it was that night? Uh? And for
9:35
Speaker 2: the record, as people were driving around and picking up
9:38
Speaker 2: people on and vans and buses and things and feeding
9:41
Speaker 2: them pizzas they stood in line, that's the reason that
9:44
Speaker 2: we have laws in Georgia now that say you can't
9:47
Speaker 2: feed people to stand in line and vote for your candidate.
9:52
Speaker 2: Those laws about food and water aren't as they were
9:54
Speaker 2: portrayed on curby your enthusiasm. That's not how it works.
9:58
Speaker 2: This isn't a situation where someone's diabetic and they're collapsing
10:02
Speaker 2: and they're not allowed to eat food that they brought themselves.
10:05
Speaker 2: There were no examples of that happening. There weren't any
10:09
Speaker 2: examples of that two years ago during the mid terms.
10:13
Speaker 2: That's not what's going on. It was, Hey, we're gonna
10:17
Speaker 2: go find anybody that maybe voted one time and one
10:22
Speaker 2: time only for Barack Obama, and we're gonna find them
10:25
Speaker 2: out on the street. We're gonna put them in a
10:27
Speaker 2: bus and say, look, we're gonna feed you. We're gonna
10:30
Speaker 2: give you all the beverages you can drink, or drive
10:33
Speaker 2: you there, you can eat all the pizza you want.
10:36
Speaker 2: And then when you get there, we'll continue to feed
10:38
Speaker 2: you while you wait in line, because we're going to
10:40
Speaker 2: try to keep as long as you're in the line,
10:43
Speaker 2: they can't close up shop. So we're gonna get you
10:47
Speaker 2: in the line, and you know, just keep getting as
10:50
Speaker 2: many people in line as possible, and we'll feed you
10:53
Speaker 2: while you wait there in line so you don't walk away.
10:56
Speaker 2: That's the reason. That's the reason. It's at least part
10:59
Speaker 2: of the reason. So as long as there's an understanding
11:03
Speaker 2: of that. But my point is ways that maybe we
11:07
Speaker 2: can move forward and try to get candidates that, you know,
11:11
Speaker 2: both sides might say, well, they wouldn't be so bad.
11:15
Speaker 2: The first thing that you got to do is you
11:17
Speaker 2: got to think about not nominating someone who is truly
11:23
Speaker 2: extreme in your party. A lot of people like the
11:26
Speaker 2: idea of maybe a more moderate candidate in there from
11:29
Speaker 2: both sides. If you got two moderates in there and
11:32
Speaker 2: not someone who genuinely is you know, voted most liberal
11:39
Speaker 2: or most socialist senator when they try to run for president.
11:45
Speaker 2: Before Trump comes with his own baggage, He didn't come
11:48
Speaker 2: with the you know, political experience baggage. Before he comes
11:54
Speaker 2: with his own baggage in things that he has said
11:57
Speaker 2: and done in his personal life. But there was a
11:59
Speaker 2: time when he identified as a Democrat and nobody cared
12:03
Speaker 2: he could do whatever he wanted then. But then he
12:05
Speaker 2: suddenly has the audacity to win the presidency after the
12:10
Speaker 2: left helped him get nominated, and that's what upset him.
12:13
Speaker 2: They didn't like it, and then he did things his
12:16
Speaker 2: own way once he got in there. So on that subject.
12:20
Speaker 2: That's another thing that we can stop doing. Right and
12:23
Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, Hey, you want somebody who's more conservative.
12:27
Speaker 2: If the people speak and they say more conservative or
12:29
Speaker 2: more liberal, well that's how it's going to play out.
12:31
Speaker 2: But it's gonna make it much more divisive. That's where
12:34
Speaker 2: all the name calling is a little more justified. It's
12:38
Speaker 2: a little more justified to call Kamala Harris a communist
12:43
Speaker 2: than you could calling Joe Biden a communist. He wasn't
12:46
Speaker 2: a communist. He was more moderate. He definitely was, and
12:49
Speaker 2: that's why Harris is pretending to be more like Joe Biden.
12:52
Speaker 2: But anyway, so the next thing is not helping candidates
12:56
Speaker 2: get nominated. That would be horrible, not doing your part,
13:01
Speaker 2: not going saying, look Trump can't beat Hillary Clinton, so
13:05
Speaker 2: let's help him get nominated. Let's help him across the
13:09
Speaker 2: finish line. We think that Rafael Warnock can beat herschel Walker,
13:15
Speaker 2: Let's help herschel Walker be the nominee for Republicans for Senate.
13:20
Speaker 2: It was effective, it worked, But what you have to
13:23
Speaker 2: stop and ask yourself the question is, well, what happens
13:26
Speaker 2: if Donald Trump wins? What happens if herschel Walker had
13:29
Speaker 2: won and you thought he was so dangerous, Why would
13:32
Speaker 2: you try to help carry him across the finish line.
13:35
Speaker 2: Why would you do that. That's not in the best
13:38
Speaker 2: interest of the country. You know, you hear a lot
13:41
Speaker 2: on the left about oh, we got to look out
13:43
Speaker 2: for the greater good. That's not looking out for the
13:45
Speaker 2: greater good. Now, Republicans' hands certainly aren't clean on all this,
13:50
Speaker 2: and we've seen a number of candidates come along where
13:53
Speaker 2: Republicans have really only pushed pro Trump candidates. They feel
13:59
Speaker 2: like that's the best way for Republicans to have control
14:04
Speaker 2: of the House and the Senate right now, Poling says,
14:07
Speaker 2: that's where we're headed, that Republicans should be picking up
14:11
Speaker 2: seats in both That's what seems to be playing out,
14:16
Speaker 2: and that may be where it's going. And whether or
14:19
Speaker 2: not folks are going to vote on the economy, they're
14:23
Speaker 2: going to vote on another big ticket. It's the economy,
14:28
Speaker 2: it's the border, and those two things do connect. But
14:32
Speaker 2: there's another issue that is really starting to rear its head.
14:39
Speaker 2: And the left thought that they were going to own
14:41
Speaker 2: the issue of women's rights because they thought we're going
14:44
Speaker 2: to make this all about abortion and abortion rights. However,
14:48
Speaker 2: there are a lot of women, particularly college aged women,
14:51
Speaker 2: that are starting to sound off and say, we're concerned
14:55
Speaker 2: about women's issues like privacy in our bathrooms and locks rooms.
15:01
Speaker 2: We're concerned about our own ability to compete in sports,
15:05
Speaker 2: or our children or grandchildren's ability to compete in sports
15:12
Speaker 2: and not have to compete against biological men. I did
15:16
Speaker 2: watch some of the Harris Faulkner town hall that was
15:21
Speaker 2: done here in Georgia with former President Trump, and there
15:26
Speaker 2: was a woman who got up and said, I've got
15:27
Speaker 2: nine grandkids, six of them girls, and I'm concerned about
15:32
Speaker 2: them getting injured or having to compete against men in
15:38
Speaker 2: sports as they get older, boys and ultimately men boys.
15:42
Speaker 2: It's not such a big deal. There's a reason that
15:43
Speaker 2: there's much more common to have co ed sports when
15:46
Speaker 2: you're younger, but once you get into an all women's league,
15:52
Speaker 2: things are just a little different. They're just a little different,
15:56
Speaker 2: and when you've got people that are you know, in swimming,
15:58
Speaker 2: we've talked about this. I didn't know a lot about
16:02
Speaker 2: how swimming and diving worked until I was asked to
16:07
Speaker 2: actually be the announcer at a swimming event a college
16:13
Speaker 2: university swimming event, and I started to get an understanding
16:17
Speaker 2: of how it works, and you want to get in
16:20
Speaker 2: certain heats for your opportunity to compete to win. And
16:25
Speaker 2: what started happening with men in the pool, former men
16:29
Speaker 2: in the pool that had transitioned, is they were bumping
16:33
Speaker 2: the women, the girls from getting opportunities to compete in
16:37
Speaker 2: those heats or even make it into any of the
16:40
Speaker 2: final heats. It's a concern could end up being a
16:45
Speaker 2: big issue for this election. We will see if that
16:48
Speaker 2: actually ends up moving the dial when it comes to
16:50
Speaker 2: votes in a little over two and a half weeks.
16:54
Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca

19:14
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
19:18
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
19:20
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
19:22
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
19:27
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
19:30
Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got. With colder or
19:33
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
19:37
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
19:39
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
19:43
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
19:45
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
19:49
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
19:51
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid, you'd
19:54
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
19:55
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
19:58
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again, and they do after
20:00
Speaker 2: hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having
20:03
Speaker 2: your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door
20:06
Speaker 2: won't open and you need somebody to come help, And
20:09
Speaker 2: they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight

20:20
Speaker 2: Show right after the break. Well, we've talked a lot
20:31
Speaker 2: over the last few months about more and more companies
20:34
Speaker 2: telling employees they need to get back into the office. Well,
20:38
Speaker 2: it seems, according to a new survey, apparently a lot
20:41
Speaker 2: of those workers just aren't going back to the office.
20:45
Speaker 2: Resume Builder did the survey and found that nearly twenty
20:49
Speaker 2: percent of workers are just ignoring their employers return to
20:53
Speaker 2: office mandates in some way. Just under eighty percent of
20:57
Speaker 2: workers said they follow the rules and go to the
20:59
Speaker 2: office US every day, eighteen percent occasionally ignore it, and
21:04
Speaker 2: two percent rarely follow the policy and one percent said
21:09
Speaker 2: that they don't follow the mandates at all. So how
21:11
Speaker 2: are they pulling it off? Well, some get a coworker
21:14
Speaker 2: to swipe them in. Some swipe in on the weekends
21:17
Speaker 2: and off hours to make it look like they've been there.
21:20
Speaker 2: Others go in and just leave the office early. So
21:25
Speaker 2: what would make workers follow the RT mandates? More money?
21:31
Speaker 2: Two and three workers said a raise would make them
21:34
Speaker 2: more likely to cooperate. They'd also like the companies help
21:38
Speaker 2: and paying for commuting costs. I mean, it's one of
21:42
Speaker 2: those things. And we knew this is where things were
21:45
Speaker 2: going to go eventually post COVID, because let's be honest,
21:50
Speaker 2: some companies get it and know that, Hey, based on
21:53
Speaker 2: what type of company it is. In some cases, employees
21:57
Speaker 2: can work remotely. Some industries it doesn't work that way.
22:03
Speaker 2: Some that maybe it could work that way. The employers
22:06
Speaker 2: just don't know how to manage their staff from a distance,
22:10
Speaker 2: or they've got staff that just aren't having very good productivity.
22:14
Speaker 2: And ultimately, when people get used to i don't know,
22:18
Speaker 2: working in their pajamas or you know, not having to
22:21
Speaker 2: commute into the office and able to I don't know,
22:25
Speaker 2: dictate like aspects of their life that they can't really
22:29
Speaker 2: manage if they have to be locked in in a
22:32
Speaker 2: cubicle somewhere. So this is where we are. And of course,
22:36
Speaker 2: this idea, this notion, this desire for more money to
22:44
Speaker 2: do the commuting. I guess it only makes sense that
22:46
Speaker 2: we were headed to this ultimate crossroads at some point, right.
22:52
Speaker 2: A recent study suggests that travel might help you live longer,
22:57
Speaker 2: and the reason it's not a break from your routine,
23:00
Speaker 2: but that vacations typically involve more physical activity and socializing
23:05
Speaker 2: and less stress. All of these things factor into, you know,
23:10
Speaker 2: things that are good for your body. So exploring new
23:13
Speaker 2: places we can get aways travel helps keep you active
23:16
Speaker 2: and happy, which can be a boost to your health
23:19
Speaker 2: and longevity. Makes sense to me. All right, let's talk
23:25
Speaker 2: about olive oil fraud. Apparently that's a thing now, and
23:30
Speaker 2: in the economy we're dealing with right now, prices of
23:33
Speaker 2: things are up. And the reality here is that with
23:39
Speaker 2: the price of olive oil up like very high, partly
23:44
Speaker 2: because of inflation, partly because of olive harvests, there's been
23:50
Speaker 2: olive oil fraud. So in order to keep prices down,
23:54
Speaker 2: some botlers have been selling fake olive oil. Some producers
23:57
Speaker 2: do this by diluting their products with cheap oils like
24:00
Speaker 2: sunflower or grape seed. So how can you tell if
24:04
Speaker 2: the olive oil that you have is real olive oil?
24:08
Speaker 2: They say there's a few things to look for in
24:12
Speaker 2: the signs that would indicate it's real or fake. Olive
24:14
Speaker 2: oil must be pure to be legally labeled as extra virgin.
24:19
Speaker 2: If it's labeled light pure or simply olive oil, it
24:24
Speaker 2: can't be one hundred percent trusted. Real oil will have
24:27
Speaker 2: a rich flavor, while fake oils have little flavor or
24:30
Speaker 2: taste bad. I don't do a lot of tasting of
24:33
Speaker 2: it directly, I know some people do. The bottles should
24:37
Speaker 2: have a lot of information about where it was produced.
24:40
Speaker 2: They say look for protected designation of Origin seals, which
24:44
Speaker 2: shows that it has strict testing that was followed. And
24:47
Speaker 2: they say also to look for certification from an organization
24:51
Speaker 2: such as the North American Olive Association. They do good work.
24:56
Speaker 2: NAOA or the Californi Olive Oil Council is another one.
25:02
Speaker 2: So just some ways to make sure you're not getting
25:07
Speaker 2: ripped off when it comes to your olive oil. Nobody
25:10
Speaker 2: wants to get ripped though. You don't want to be
25:12
Speaker 2: a sucker not with your olive oil. And finally, Pillsbury
25:15
Speaker 2: getting ready for the holiday season with a new Grinch
25:18
Speaker 2: inspired ready to bake cookie dough, but Summer pointing to
25:21
Speaker 2: an unfortunate design flaw as the reason that they're not
25:26
Speaker 2: interested in making them. Second one of these we've had
25:29
Speaker 2: this week, right, So, basically each cookie features it's a
25:34
Speaker 2: sugar cookie with three hearts on the cookie, and then
25:40
Speaker 2: next to it is basically a Christmas tree, or perhaps
25:45
Speaker 2: I don't think it's supposed to be a Christmas tree.
25:47
Speaker 2: I think it's actually supposed to be maybe the Grinch's head,
25:52
Speaker 2: but there's no features on it. So think about kind
25:55
Speaker 2: of the shape of the Grinch's head. It's kind of
25:58
Speaker 2: bigger at the bottom, little smaller, like medium size, almost
26:03
Speaker 2: like a snowman, except a little flatter, more like a Pooh,
26:11
Speaker 2: a green Pooh. That's what it looks like on the
26:14
Speaker 2: cookie with the three hearts. I gotta be honest with you.
26:18
Speaker 2: Looking at it, my first thought was, Hey, it's the Grinch.
26:22
Speaker 2: I didn't even think Christmas tree, although apparently that may
26:24
Speaker 2: be one of the possible intentions for what it is.
26:29
Speaker 2: But some people are not impressed, saying I'm not eating
26:31
Speaker 2: a cookie that has a green pool on it. That'll
26:34
Speaker 2: do it for this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks
