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, twenty eighth day of January. I'm West thanks
- 0:15Speaker 2: for joining me. Cold yesterday. It's still going to be cold,
- 0:20Speaker 2: and we got some really cold stuff coming this weekend.
- 0:24Speaker 3: I know we've had.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Excessively cold weather for us. We get this sometimes in
- 0:30Speaker 2: this part of the country. We're not used to the
- 0:32Speaker 2: severe stuff. We're not dealing with the stuff that's taken
- 0:35Speaker 2: more than thirty lives, and that's certainly a big part
- 0:39Speaker 2: of what's going on in the rest of the country,
- 0:42Speaker 2: and it's serious stuff and with more places is going
- 0:46Speaker 2: to be impacted this weekend, again, we'll just get cold
- 0:51Speaker 2: for us, and there's a chance of some stuff. But again,
- 0:53Speaker 2: this isn't a weather show. We don't do a lot
- 0:56Speaker 2: of that. I just have a junior weatherman in the
- 0:59Speaker 2: house and he follows it closely and keeps me updated
- 1:03Speaker 2: and I try to pass along when I can pass
- 1:05Speaker 2: along when I have the information as best I can
- 1:08Speaker 2: understand it from him. Again, it's nice having someone who
- 1:11Speaker 2: understands it better than me. And I say this, I'm
- 1:16Speaker 2: not an expert on everything. I don't sit there and
- 1:20Speaker 2: read an article on social media and become an expert.
- 1:24Speaker 2: I don't watch two videos, real videos, reel R E
- 1:28Speaker 2: E L, hardly R E L. But I don't watch
- 1:30Speaker 2: two reels on social media on Instagram about somebody like
- 1:35Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk and go ah, now I know everything I
- 1:38Speaker 2: need to know about that guy. I'm an expert now
- 1:41Speaker 2: on old Charlie Kirk. I can tell you why he
- 1:45Speaker 2: deserved this or that or why he didn't deserve That's
- 1:48Speaker 2: not how I roll. It's not what I do. It's
- 1:51Speaker 2: never really there's a point probably where I thought I
- 1:54Speaker 2: knew everything I've learned in my fifty years.
- 1:57Speaker 3: I do not know everything. So there's that.
- 2:01Speaker 2: And I appreciate having someone and I want a Gabby
- 2:04Speaker 2: by the way, for weather coverage once an actual Gabby Award.
- 2:10Speaker 2: I used to be able to pull that card on
- 2:12Speaker 2: Luke when he would come and say something to me
- 2:14Speaker 2: about the weather, and he would say, well, here's what's
- 2:16Speaker 2: blah blah blah, and I would say, well, you know,
- 2:18Speaker 2: Luke as a Gabby winner for weather coverage. Let me
- 2:23Speaker 2: tell you, I do know a little bit about this.
- 2:25Speaker 2: But he has now surpassed what I know about it,
- 2:27Speaker 2: so I can stuff that. I'll just give it to him.
- 2:31Speaker 2: I'll just put a little that's what I need to do.
- 2:33Speaker 2: I just need to put a little piece of tape
- 2:36Speaker 2: over it with his name on it, and just put
- 2:38Speaker 2: it it just where it says West.
- 2:39Speaker 3: Just put Luke and go with it, because.
- 2:42Speaker 2: He's headed in that direction one day, I'm sure, and
- 2:45Speaker 2: maybe not on the he kind of wants to.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Do I think research. Maybe I don't know.
- 2:50Speaker 2: I don't know what his plan is, but anyway, I
- 2:53Speaker 2: just know it's nice to have someone in the house
- 2:54Speaker 2: who knows it better than I do and can tell
- 2:56Speaker 2: me what's coming and when it's coming, and tell me
- 2:58Speaker 2: what time it's going to rain. He's got a gift
- 3:01Speaker 2: for all those things, and that's fantastic to have around.
- 3:05Speaker 2: I mean, he's fantastic to have around anyway, but it's
- 3:07Speaker 2: really fantastic when they have those skills that you can
- 3:10Speaker 2: lean on versus Jake. That I can say, and I've
- 3:13Speaker 2: been working in broadcasting and digital media and you know, radio, TV,
- 3:18Speaker 2: digital media, print media.
- 3:21Speaker 3: I have been doing web design.
- 3:22Speaker 2: I've done all these things for you know, since I
- 3:25Speaker 2: was you know, eighteen, nineteen years old in some form,
- 3:30Speaker 2: even younger than that. I was doing it as a kid,
- 3:34Speaker 2: some of these things. And I do a lot of editing.
- 3:38Speaker 2: I've done a lot of editing over the years. And
- 3:40Speaker 2: now Jake is like, this is what you need done,
- 3:43Speaker 2: and he just does it, and I'm like, okay, he's
- 3:44Speaker 2: faster than I am at it.
- 3:46Speaker 3: So again, it's nice. They're nice to have around. Period.
- 3:49Speaker 3: They're really nice to have around.
- 3:50Speaker 2: When they can help out, that pays off for you.
- 3:54Speaker 2: It pays off big talk. So I guess I need
- 3:57Speaker 2: to actually put him on the payroll. So it's it's Wednesday,
- 4:02Speaker 2: and we are, you know, plowing through this cold week,
- 4:07Speaker 2: and we got some stuff to talk about. Last night,
- 4:09Speaker 2: I guess we officially got into midterms, the kickoff for
- 4:13Speaker 2: the midterm season. It typically, traditionally it doesn't go well
- 4:17Speaker 2: for the you know, the presidents in power. If he
- 4:20Speaker 2: doesn't have if he has Congress, many cases, he's going
- 4:24Speaker 2: to lose some seats. It's just kind of the way
- 4:28Speaker 2: things often go. And this is a White House that's
- 4:32Speaker 2: been trying to get things done as many things as
- 4:35Speaker 2: they can get done. While it's an opportunity a lot
- 4:38Speaker 2: of people said, why is he doing everything so fast? Well,
- 4:40Speaker 2: that's why the Obama administration did not do that, and
- 4:44Speaker 2: it did not go well for them. There was not
- 4:46Speaker 2: a whole lot they got accomplished in the.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Eight years they were there.
- 4:50Speaker 2: So that's that's why. You get it done while you can.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Doesn't mean that there's going to be a big flip
- 4:58Speaker 2: when it comes to the mid term. Although the strategy
- 5:02Speaker 2: that has been put into place apparently in the PR
- 5:06Speaker 2: world is working because a lot of people are really not.
- 5:14Speaker 3: Taking in all of.
- 5:15Speaker 2: The information before they form their opinions when it comes
- 5:19Speaker 2: to what's going on in specifically Minneapolis. And I guess
- 5:24Speaker 2: now you got folks in Minnesota that are angry with
- 5:29Speaker 2: the governor there. Governor Tim Wallas has got a people
- 5:32Speaker 2: they're mad. They're mad because he wants to work with
- 5:36Speaker 2: a way they want to try to get some things resolved.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Just think there could be people two people that have
- 5:43Speaker 2: died that could still be alive if this was cooperation
- 5:47Speaker 2: from the beginning. And I hate to play that card,
- 5:51Speaker 2: but it's the reality of if you're stoking things, you
- 5:55Speaker 2: could go back and say, Charlie Kirk could still be alive.
- 5:58Speaker 2: If people weren't stoking things. Trump could have not had
- 6:01Speaker 2: an assassin tried to shoot him, or actually did shoot him,
- 6:05Speaker 2: but tried to kill him, and you know, he might
- 6:10Speaker 2: not even be president right now had that not played out.
- 6:13Speaker 2: That's just the way things are these days. As people
- 6:19Speaker 2: just fly off the handle and kind of think they
- 6:22Speaker 2: can do whatever they want to do, or that they're
- 6:24Speaker 2: required or called to do whatever. They think this is
- 6:27Speaker 2: some special thing for them, so they're going to go
- 6:30Speaker 2: out and try to be part of this rebellion that's
- 6:33Speaker 2: not really There's this resistance movement that's not really a
- 6:36Speaker 2: resistance movement. What it is is it's a PR movement.
- 6:41Speaker 2: It's an AstroTurf PR movement that is being used to
- 6:45Speaker 2: try to shape the minds of American voters. That's the
- 6:48Speaker 2: way politics works, and it seems to be working in
- 6:52Speaker 2: some of the polls as people are starting to say
- 6:54Speaker 2: that a lot of Americans are frustrated with Ice and
- 6:57Speaker 2: frustrated with the way things are being carried out. For
- 7:00Speaker 2: the most part, they've been doing a fantastic job and
- 7:04Speaker 2: getting things done, and even crime in Minnesota has gone down,
- 7:09Speaker 2: violent crime at that but people are seeing what the
- 7:14Speaker 2: media wants them to see, and they're screaming it from
- 7:16Speaker 2: the rooftops, and social media plays out with that is
- 7:20Speaker 2: people again, they don't they don't really look into it.
- 7:22Speaker 2: They don't say, oh my gosh, this woman hit the
- 7:26Speaker 2: officer with the car, or they don't say the guy
- 7:29Speaker 2: had a gun. They took away the gun, he reached
- 7:31Speaker 2: for the gun, he grabbed a magazine clip or whatever,
- 7:33Speaker 2: and of course they're going to assume, oh, maybe he's
- 7:37Speaker 2: got another gun. I mean, that's the way it works
- 7:40Speaker 2: in a high stakes game of playing stand up to
- 7:47Speaker 2: law enforcement and obstruct them from doing their job. That's
- 7:50Speaker 2: just kind of how it goes. It's the reality of
- 7:54Speaker 2: how it goes. So people don't seem to care. They
- 7:58Speaker 2: don't seem to want to get to the true story
- 8:02Speaker 2: and the real facts about whatever's happened. They just want
- 8:05Speaker 2: to go with whatever they see online. And I want
- 8:08Speaker 2: to say this because I have spent some time talking
- 8:15Speaker 2: about the fact that you know, and I was a
- 8:19Speaker 2: little hard on people yesterday, I understand that I get it,
- 8:22Speaker 2: and I want to be clear on this. I don't
- 8:25Speaker 2: think everybody who is upset with what's happened is in
- 8:30Speaker 2: the wrong. I am upset with what's happened. I hate
- 8:36Speaker 2: the fact that there are people that have been killed
- 8:38Speaker 2: by federal agents.
- 8:40Speaker 3: I don't like that. I don't like that at all.
- 8:44Speaker 2: I'm more frustrated with the fact that we absolutely have
- 8:47Speaker 2: this double standard on what we consider acceptable and what
- 8:51Speaker 2: we don't. And that's what frustrates me about the people
- 8:54Speaker 2: that are upset. You want to be upset and outspoken.
- 8:56Speaker 2: You should be upset and outspoken about all of it.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Angry at oh people have died during this president's attempt
- 9:05Speaker 2: at getting people out of the country.
- 9:07Speaker 3: Were you mad?
- 9:08Speaker 2: During the Obama administration, there were fifty six people that died,
- 9:13Speaker 2: some of them from neglect. It wasn't even like a confrontation.
- 9:18Speaker 3: Some of them.
- 9:18Speaker 2: It was neglect while they were in captivity, while they
- 9:22Speaker 2: were being held. Fifty six people died. Did we hear
- 9:25Speaker 2: about those? Now there's no conversation about that? Then this
- 9:30Speaker 2: is something you have to dig into. Now you have
- 9:32Speaker 2: to you have to actually dig into it. I don't
- 9:35Speaker 2: consider myself a journalist with this job. There are times
- 9:38Speaker 2: when I've had to be. But you dig into it
- 9:40Speaker 2: and you go, wait a minute, because there is there
- 9:44Speaker 2: should be a curiosity with journalists, with actual real journalists,
- 9:48Speaker 2: where they say, hey, this might be an aspect of
- 9:51Speaker 2: this story we should all be talking about. And when
- 9:54Speaker 2: you actually do your job and you dig into it
- 9:57Speaker 2: and you go, wait a minute.
- 9:59Speaker 3: Fifty six people di.
- 10:01Speaker 2: It's the lazy journalism that got us things like oh,
- 10:04Speaker 2: they got kids in cages, and they're showing photos from
- 10:09Speaker 2: the Obama administration putting kids in cages, and they're saying, look,
- 10:12Speaker 2: Trump's got kids in cages, and it wasn't even those
- 10:16Speaker 2: weren't photos from that and the cages, sure they were
- 10:18Speaker 2: still there, but you can't show us the photos that
- 10:22Speaker 2: were done with the other guy that you love and
- 10:24Speaker 2: you still I don't think they love them as much
- 10:26Speaker 2: as they used to, but many of them still do.
- 10:31Speaker 2: But my point is it's just a little bit of
- 10:33Speaker 2: effort you can dig in. And I don't expect citizens
- 10:36Speaker 2: to do it. I think the citizens that call themselves,
- 10:39Speaker 2: you know, citizen journalists or whatever, independent journalists. Everybody with
- 10:43Speaker 2: a cell phone suddenly becomes an independent journalist. If you're
- 10:48Speaker 2: going to be an independent journalist, you have to kind
- 10:49Speaker 2: of follow the rules of journalism.
- 10:52Speaker 3: You should.
- 10:54Speaker 2: But my point is I'm not mad at everybody for
- 10:56Speaker 2: being frustrated with it.
- 10:57Speaker 3: I get it.
- 10:58Speaker 2: I understand this is a frustrating thing, but it would
- 11:03Speaker 2: definitely go more smoothly if there was cooperation. That's what
- 11:06Speaker 2: happened during the Obama administration. That's what's happened in many states.
- 11:09Speaker 2: People are actually cooperating with the federal agents as they're
- 11:13Speaker 2: supposed to, as they're legally obligated to, and then they
- 11:17Speaker 2: get people up and you get the felons out. Yes,
- 11:22Speaker 2: there may be some people who their biggest crime is
- 11:25Speaker 2: that they're in the country illegally, but for the most part,
- 11:28Speaker 2: we're talking about people who have long been on a
- 11:31Speaker 2: list somewhere that need to be taken out. But we
- 11:36Speaker 2: want it to be done legally. We want it to
- 11:39Speaker 2: be done ethically. We want it to be done following
- 11:44Speaker 2: the law.
- 11:45Speaker 3: That's what we'd like to see. We'd like it to
- 11:47Speaker 3: be all legal.
- 11:47Speaker 2: We'd like to see some self control in every aspect
- 11:52Speaker 2: of this. And it goes both ways. It's just like
- 11:56Speaker 2: any confrontation with police, and we talk about this all
- 11:59Speaker 2: the time. You know, when there's a situation where a
- 12:01Speaker 2: police officer does something that they shouldn't have done, and
- 12:05Speaker 2: we say there can be some people that cross the
- 12:10Speaker 2: line and you go There can be bad cops, there
- 12:12Speaker 2: can be There can also be good cops who made
- 12:15Speaker 2: a mistake. There can be good cops who had a
- 12:18Speaker 2: bad day and made a mistake. There could be good
- 12:22Speaker 2: cops who in a situation where they thought somebody was
- 12:25Speaker 2: pulling a gun, a second gun or whatever, and then
- 12:28Speaker 2: they do what they think is necessary. But again, we're
- 12:33Speaker 2: talking about these split second decisions that have to get made,
- 12:38Speaker 2: and it's you or me. One of us is about
- 12:41Speaker 2: to get shot. And if you're the police officer or
- 12:44Speaker 2: federal agent in that situation, and you have to make
- 12:46Speaker 2: that call quickly so that you can go home to
- 12:49Speaker 2: your family. You're there because you're being.
- 12:51Speaker 3: Paid to be there.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Protesters are there because, well, some of them are getting
- 12:55Speaker 2: paid to be there. Protesters are supposed to be there
- 12:58Speaker 2: just so that you can object to what they're doing.
- 13:01Speaker 2: But when you interfere, when you're in their face, when
- 13:03Speaker 2: you're screaming at them, when you're firing air horns in
- 13:06Speaker 2: their face, when you're blowing whistles in their face, you
- 13:13Speaker 2: could be at home, safe and sound. So we need
- 13:19Speaker 2: both sides to be accountable.
- 13:21Speaker 3: Yes, you need.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Law enforcement to follow the rules. You need protesters to
- 13:26Speaker 2: follow the rules. They're rules for protesting. There are both
- 13:31Speaker 2: sides have to follow the rules. So I don't blame
- 13:33Speaker 2: people for being upset.
- 13:34Speaker 3: I don't you.
- 13:36Speaker 2: Certainly have your right to protest within the legal confines
- 13:41Speaker 2: of how we're supposed to protest. This concept and idea
- 13:45Speaker 2: that if you want to protest and set a car
- 13:47Speaker 2: on fire, someone's house on fire, or shoot a person.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Once you get to that point where you're kind of
- 13:55Speaker 2: buying into the rhetoric that you're supposed to be hurting
- 13:58Speaker 2: people and killing people, that's where those of us on
- 14:02Speaker 2: the right have concerns. And this isn't something that has
- 14:06Speaker 2: always just been a thing of the left, No, no, no,
- 14:09Speaker 2: this is something that there's definitely a long history of
- 14:14Speaker 2: both sides being involved in this, but right now the
- 14:16Speaker 2: left is kind of owning this very poisonous rhetoric. Both
- 14:20Speaker 2: sides do it. I just I don't know the last
- 14:23Speaker 2: time I heard someone on the right calling for someone
- 14:25Speaker 2: to be executed or murdered or doxed or any of
- 14:28Speaker 2: those things. Maybe the doxing has happened. It's kind of
- 14:31Speaker 2: the more extreme.
- 14:32Speaker 3: People, but.
- 14:34Speaker 2: The if you ICE agents come to our town and
- 14:37Speaker 2: we find out who you are, we're gonna tell everybody
- 14:40Speaker 2: where you live and to go harass your family, and
- 14:42Speaker 2: you need to take your mask off. Thankfully, some of
- 14:45Speaker 2: that talk finally died down. Take those masks off so
- 14:49Speaker 2: we can see who you are and try to scare
- 14:51Speaker 2: your family.
- 14:54Speaker 3: What is that?
- 14:57Speaker 2: But it's a pr war and the just trying to
- 15:02Speaker 2: build up their momentum leading into what's coming in November,
- 15:05Speaker 2: which is those midterm elections. And I told you we're
- 15:07Speaker 2: going to get to riots. It's going to happen this year.
- 15:10Speaker 2: I told you before all this started.
- 15:12Speaker 3: It was coming.
- 15:14Speaker 2: We knew it was coming, laid it out for you.
- 15:17Speaker 2: I just didn't think it would happen that fast. So
- 15:22Speaker 2: the Left is probably sitting back going, oh no, we
- 15:24Speaker 2: don't peak too soon with this, and they're mad right now.
- 15:27Speaker 2: I guess at Tim Walls, because he's trying to get
- 15:31Speaker 2: this resolved, you got to think he wants it over
- 15:35Speaker 2: and he wants the felons out of his state, and
- 15:39Speaker 2: maybe he at some point realized, hey, I'm over here
- 15:41Speaker 2: defending these felons. I'm defending these people who are basically
- 15:52Speaker 2: you know, they're here, they've overstayed their welcome or they've
- 15:58Speaker 2: come from somewhere and they are, you know, into underage
- 16:03Speaker 2: kids and you know some of them, this is some
- 16:09Speaker 2: of the people that they're going for. And they're on
- 16:11Speaker 2: their side, like they're defending Jared from subway, like that's
- 16:15Speaker 2: what they're in. They're out, you know, ready to fight
- 16:16Speaker 2: and shoot police over that.
- 16:19Speaker 3: Are we doing? What are we doing?
- 16:23Speaker 2: It's okay to be anti Semitic, it's okay to hate
- 16:27Speaker 2: law enforcement, and it's okay to defend pedophiles. I'm sorry.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Minor attracted persons, that is the thing. Maps they can't
- 16:36Speaker 2: help themselves. They're just minor attracted. So we have to
- 16:41Speaker 2: be on their side instead of sticking up for I
- 16:44Speaker 2: don't know law enforcement. Some of us just need that
- 16:49Speaker 2: understanding of why can't there be a right and a wrong?
- 16:52Speaker 2: Why can't we support what's right? Why can't we support
- 16:58Speaker 2: I don't know law enforcement? And instead of the minor
- 17:00Speaker 2: attracted persons, or the murderers or just even the thieves,
- 17:07Speaker 2: why can't we do that? Today's show brought to you
- 17:08Speaker 2: by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center. Inspiring
- 17:13Speaker 2: and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM
- 17:19Speaker 2: career holders that really of all ages. I mean they
- 17:23Speaker 2: do it for school age kids as school age kids
- 17:26Speaker 2: visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also
- 17:28Speaker 2: do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
- 17:35Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
- 17:39Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
- 17:43Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
- 17:50Speaker 2: also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got

- 18:48Speaker 2: Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just
- 18:53Speaker 2: remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science
- 18:56Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
- 19:01Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage
- 19:04Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
- 19:10Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
- 19:13Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
- 19:17Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
- 19:21Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
- 19:22Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
- 19:25Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
- 19:28Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
- 19:32Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
- 19:34Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
- 19:36Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
- 19:40Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
- 19:44Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or
- 19:47Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
- 19:51Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
- 19:53Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
- 19:57Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
- 19:59Speaker 2: space as a sort of.
- 20:01Speaker 3: Outdoor but indoor.
- 20:03Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
- 20:04Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 20:07Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
- 20:08Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
- 20:11Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
- 20:14Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
- 20:17Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
- 20:20Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
- 20:23Speaker 2: and they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five
- 20:26Speaker 2: eight forty five hundred, seven oh six three five eight
- 20:29Speaker 2: forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol
- 20:34Speaker 2: Morning Show right after the break. No big surprise out
- 20:45Speaker 2: of this new survey of dog owners that found eighty
- 20:50Speaker 2: seven percent of dog owners consider their dog to be
- 20:54Speaker 2: their best friend. Ninety seven percent say they consider them
- 20:58Speaker 2: a member of the family. Twenty nine percent of dog
- 21:01Speaker 2: owners surveyed admit their entire life is centered around their dog.
- 21:06Speaker 2: So how much do we spoil our dogs?
- 21:09Speaker 3: Well?
- 21:09Speaker 2: The survey gave us the following. Some say they regularly
- 21:14Speaker 2: talk with their dogs. That was seventy five six percent
- 21:18Speaker 2: say they have video calls with their dog when they're away.
- 21:22Speaker 2: Those don't really go quite the way you think they're
- 21:25Speaker 2: going to go the first time. About half said that
- 21:28Speaker 2: they shared a plate of food with their dog. Now,
- 21:30Speaker 2: we're getting into some stuff. A little less than half
- 21:33Speaker 2: of let their dogs sleep in their bed every night,
- 21:35Speaker 2: thirty six percent let them sleep under the covers.
- 21:37Speaker 3: What's wrong with that?
- 21:40Speaker 2: Forty five percent have social media accounts dedicated to their pet.
- 21:43Speaker 2: Forty percent have thrown birthday parties for their dogs, take
- 21:47Speaker 2: them on vacation, cook homemade treats, take.
- 21:51Speaker 3: Them for spa days.
- 21:53Speaker 2: We're getting into some stuff now. Ten percent have had
- 21:57Speaker 2: photo shoots for their dog. Les than ten percent said
- 22:01Speaker 2: their dog was in their wedding or engagement photos. And
- 22:03Speaker 2: then about nine percent who read aloud to their dog.
- 22:08Speaker 2: I know some people who probably read aloud to their
- 22:11Speaker 2: dog and didn't read aloud to their kids. That's important
- 22:15Speaker 2: for those kids. I don't know how important is for
- 22:17Speaker 2: the dog. But you know what, you be you on
- 22:19Speaker 2: all of these things, even the spa days. That's probably
- 22:24Speaker 2: the one that in sharing a play, I mean little
- 22:27Speaker 2: food from your plate, the things that are okay to share.
- 22:30Speaker 2: But I don't know about a like sharing a full
- 22:32Speaker 2: plate of food. That's getting a bit ridiculous.
- 22:34Speaker 3: But you be you.
- 22:36Speaker 2: A new museum in Vancouver has opened and it's putting
- 22:40Speaker 2: Canadian personal misfires, mishaps and misadventures on public display. It's
- 22:46Speaker 2: called the Museum of Personal Failure and it's located inside
- 22:50Speaker 2: the Kingsgate Mall. It was created by someone named U.
- 22:55Speaker 2: I guess Ivan, but it's a weird spelling, ey v
- 22:58Speaker 2: An Collins. I say it's weird. It's weird for me,
- 23:02Speaker 2: the traditional iv an, right, but I guess it's eyv
- 23:06Speaker 2: An could be even even Collins or Ivan Collins, who
- 23:10Speaker 2: says that he came up with the idea after the
- 23:12Speaker 2: end of a romantic relationship and he needed a way
- 23:14Speaker 2: to process things, so he put up posters around the
- 23:17Speaker 2: region with some simple requests of failures wanted. Colin says
- 23:23Speaker 2: the project became therapeutic, but it also was a study
- 23:26Speaker 2: to find what failure means to different people. One of
- 23:29Speaker 2: the exhibits on the Wall of reject covered in job
- 23:32Speaker 2: application rejections and firing notices that were submitted by some
- 23:38Speaker 2: of the visitors. Colin's own mother contributed her wedding dress out.
- 23:43Speaker 2: Other displays include photos from failed relationships and a record
- 23:48Speaker 2: of failed songs from producers, even items that come with
- 23:54Speaker 2: written explanations from contributors. The Museum of Personal Failure is
- 23:59Speaker 2: open through February of the third. If you happen to
- 24:01Speaker 2: be in the Vancouver area and if you can't get
- 24:05Speaker 2: there but you want to, maybe that would count as
- 24:08Speaker 2: a personal failure.
- 24:10Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 24:12Speaker 2: TSA has released a video showing the ten most unusual
- 24:15Speaker 2: items seized at airports last year. This is always a
- 24:18Speaker 2: fun list. It's always fun, so I guess they did
- 24:21Speaker 2: it on YouTube, which is kind of interesting, and they
- 24:25Speaker 2: say the ten most unusual items for last year, with
- 24:32Speaker 2: certainly some questions that come with some of the items.
- 24:36Speaker 2: For example, someone thought they could get through security wearing.
- 24:40Speaker 3: A bra stuffed with turtles. Some I guess.
- 24:45Speaker 2: Most of the items probably are weapons, cleverly or not
- 24:50Speaker 2: cleverly hidden, depending on the specific cases. There were drug
- 24:55Speaker 2: stuffed into shoes, a knife hidden in a traveler's knee brace.
- 25:01Speaker 2: Probably think you could get away with that one, you know,
- 25:04Speaker 2: you think you would. It's good to know that you can't.
- 25:08Speaker 2: Bullets inside a bottle of strawberry nest quick. What are
- 25:12Speaker 2: you gonna do with those bullets later? I mean, that's
- 25:16Speaker 2: my question that you fire in nest quick strawberry nest quick, bullets,
- 25:21Speaker 2: Turtles inside pants, fake pipe bomb TSA says the list
- 25:25Speaker 2: is a reminder that officers see just about everything and
- 25:29Speaker 2: that they take every suspicious item seriously, especially them turtle braws.
- 25:37Speaker 2: Anyone who's ever stepping on a lego piece barefoot wishes
- 25:41Speaker 2: they had the perfect shoe that they could wear that
- 25:43Speaker 2: would help them with stand stepping on a lego And
- 25:47Speaker 2: now it seems they exist. The iconic toy brand teaming
- 25:51Speaker 2: up with Crocs for the first time, unveiling a pair
- 25:55Speaker 2: of block shaped lego brick clogs. Looks like they came
- 26:00Speaker 2: right out of a toy box onto a runway, and that's.
- 26:03Speaker 3: How it works.
- 26:04Speaker 2: Basically, they made their debut at the Paris Fashion Week,
- 26:08Speaker 2: and the companies admit they're not exactly going to be
- 26:13Speaker 2: comfortable shoes. They're clunky and conversation starters. They're clogs and
- 26:18Speaker 2: basically more collectible art than practical footwear. CROC says they're
- 26:22Speaker 2: not intended for everyday where they'll hit the market February
- 26:26Speaker 2: sixteenth at the lolo price of just one hundred and
- 26:30Speaker 2: forty nine ninety nine.
- 26:32Speaker 3: So there you go.
