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.
0:09
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, the first day of August. I'm Wes. Thanks
0:13
Speaker 2: for starting your day with me, maybe with a cup
0:16
Speaker 2: of coffee. I've had a few of you tell me
0:18
Speaker 2: that I'm your coffee buddy. Glad to be your coffee buddy.
0:24
Speaker 2: Don't have mine here because I've got electronics and I'm clumsy,
0:28
Speaker 2: But I do have my morning coffee right when I
0:31
Speaker 2: wake up, So I mean it's like I've just had
0:35
Speaker 2: my coffee. If I ever sound like I'm dragging, I
0:38
Speaker 2: haven't had it. That's the way you gauge it. But
0:42
Speaker 2: I can't do it around the electronics. I would. I
0:45
Speaker 2: used to do it around other people's electronics, but when
0:49
Speaker 2: it's your electronics, it's different. Something just different about it.
0:53
Speaker 2: Maybe you're just extra careful around there and you're clumsy
0:56
Speaker 2: around your own. I don't know what the rule is,
0:58
Speaker 2: but that's how it goes sometimes. So a couple things,
1:02
Speaker 2: and I got a few things I want to get through.
1:03
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've got enough time to get through
1:05
Speaker 2: all of it today. To be honest with you the
1:06
Speaker 2: first and foremost, We've had a couple of significant events
1:10
Speaker 2: that have happened over in the Middle East as to
1:18
Speaker 2: Israel claiming to military leaders or leaders I guess the
1:23
Speaker 2: top political leader of Hamas as well as the Hesbal
1:27
Speaker 2: top military leader, both happening kind of quickly. And it
1:32
Speaker 2: just goes to my comments yesterday, and I just I
1:34
Speaker 2: want to point this out because right now we have
1:38
Speaker 2: an administration that is we've kind of speculated this. It
1:44
Speaker 2: feels more like it every day that we have leadership
1:48
Speaker 2: who's not really leading. We have figureheads, we have you know,
1:53
Speaker 2: just basically people in place while people behind the scenes
1:56
Speaker 2: are doing things. I think the way that Biden's campaign
1:59
Speaker 2: was handled, the way that Harris was just appointed with
2:02
Speaker 2: no votes, No one voted for her to be the candidate.
2:06
Speaker 2: They just named her. They crowned her queen and just
2:11
Speaker 2: handed her the candidacy. I've told you my theories on that.
2:15
Speaker 2: I may talk a little bit more about that in
2:17
Speaker 2: a few minutes, but about you know, exactly what their
2:19
Speaker 2: hopes are for her, even if it doesn't mean winning.
2:24
Speaker 2: But yesterday I was talking a little bit about some
2:26
Speaker 2: of the like we got to the name calling Oh
2:28
Speaker 2: my gosh. Jd Vance is weird. Donald Trump is weird.
2:32
Speaker 2: Republicans are weird. It's one step above they eat their boogers.
2:36
Speaker 2: That's that's what we've gotten to, that juvenile level of
2:40
Speaker 2: all of it. And I just want to point out
2:42
Speaker 2: that now as the tensions in the Middle East are
2:45
Speaker 2: heating up even more, Israel Is handling their business, is
2:48
Speaker 2: what's happening over there. And of course now it's got
2:51
Speaker 2: people saying, well, now we're going to have to escalate
2:53
Speaker 2: and strike back, and everything's going to get worse. We
2:56
Speaker 2: need adults in our White House. We need adult human
2:59
Speaker 2: beings running things. You can question the mean tweets, you
3:04
Speaker 2: can question any of the things that Trump did that
3:08
Speaker 2: she said, well he shot off at the mouth and
3:09
Speaker 2: he said that, and I don't like that. But when
3:12
Speaker 2: it came to foreign affairs, when it came to wars,
3:15
Speaker 2: when it came to violence escalating in the world, he
3:18
Speaker 2: was an adult. He handled things in a certain way,
3:22
Speaker 2: handing photos to people's homes to them in meetings and saying, yeah,
3:26
Speaker 2: here's a nice photo of your house. We know where
3:28
Speaker 2: you live. Act right, that's an adult handling things. Okay,
3:33
Speaker 2: for someone with no military background. That's an adult handling things.
3:37
Speaker 2: That's a mic drop moment. Okay. Anyway, so we need that.
3:42
Speaker 2: We can't continue on with the name calling. And I
3:45
Speaker 2: just I'm telling you right now, if the Trump campaign
3:49
Speaker 2: can stay focused and on point and just continue to
3:52
Speaker 2: point out the fact that Joe Biden should never have
3:56
Speaker 2: been the candidate, should have actually there should have been
3:59
Speaker 2: a primary process us on the left, and that everybody
4:03
Speaker 2: who claimed he was okay. And I'm talking about you know,
4:07
Speaker 2: people in the press room, I'm talking about folks in
4:11
Speaker 2: the media. I'm talking about the vice president who's now
4:14
Speaker 2: the candidate. They lied to us. They all lied to
4:18
Speaker 2: us when they said he was okay, and they should
4:20
Speaker 2: be held accountable for that, and the accountability for her
4:23
Speaker 2: for the vice president should come on election day. That's
4:26
Speaker 2: the reality of it. That's where we are, all right.
4:28
Speaker 2: So just my thoughts on it. Now. Another thing I've
4:31
Speaker 2: got thoughts on and I talked about this a little
4:33
Speaker 2: bit yesterday and one of our astute listeners and friend,
4:38
Speaker 2: Ben messaged me yesterday and just offered up a hypothetical, like,
4:43
Speaker 2: you know, you think Hillary Clinton was on the VP
4:46
Speaker 2: shortlist for Harris I don't. I hadn't really thought about it.
4:51
Speaker 2: I don't think of Hillary as being a VP type.
4:55
Speaker 2: I feel like Hillary is probably someone who thinks she
4:57
Speaker 2: should be, you know, the alpha in this scenario. But
5:03
Speaker 2: you know, this has all been weird. This has all
5:06
Speaker 2: been weird.
5:06
Speaker 1: You know.
5:07
Speaker 2: I didn't necessarily think they were just gonna push Joe
5:09
Speaker 2: Biden out. It's unrealistic, unheard of, it's insane. I don't
5:16
Speaker 2: understand what's going on there exactly, but so I would
5:20
Speaker 2: never be dismissive of somebody's thoughts on it. But I
5:24
Speaker 2: did let him know. And this is basically where I'm
5:27
Speaker 2: at with all of this. You know, my thoughts on
5:30
Speaker 2: the whole VP thing were we were going to get
5:34
Speaker 2: some indication of where the campaign was heading. I told
5:38
Speaker 2: you that I feel like they've given up, and that
5:41
Speaker 2: they think that she's not gonna win, that Trump's gonna win,
5:45
Speaker 2: and that they're ready to basically discard her because she'll
5:50
Speaker 2: get her chance this time. She won't win. He'll win.
5:53
Speaker 2: It's so late in it. This is what should play out.
5:55
Speaker 2: I don't know that it will, but I think that's
5:58
Speaker 2: kind of what the intention is. I don't think this
6:00
Speaker 2: is her pick. I think someone whoever's behind the scenes
6:03
Speaker 2: is making the pig and I think we're going to
6:06
Speaker 2: get some indication of where they think this is headed
6:08
Speaker 2: based on one of three people. And I could be wrong.
6:10
Speaker 2: I don't typically make predictions. I just feel like the
6:13
Speaker 2: realistic people. Shapiro is the only one that I think
6:17
Speaker 2: actually helps, the only one that maybe puts a state
6:20
Speaker 2: or two in play. That I just but it gets complicated.
6:27
Speaker 2: We know what's going on with Israel, we know what's
6:31
Speaker 2: been going on on US soil with far left supporters,
6:34
Speaker 2: So it's going to be complicated to make that pick.
6:37
Speaker 2: But I think that's the best pick for them. That's
6:39
Speaker 2: the one that gives her the best chance at actually
6:42
Speaker 2: maybe making a run on this thing. I don't know.
6:45
Speaker 2: I think the other two. I think you've got Mark
6:48
Speaker 2: Kelly that the Obamas apparently wanted to be the nominee.
6:53
Speaker 2: I do kind of feel like maybe that that could
6:56
Speaker 2: be the pick based on like, we'll give you the
6:59
Speaker 2: endorsement if you give us the VP pick we want.
7:02
Speaker 2: And I think that that would be a specific plan.
7:06
Speaker 2: I think if you look at Shapiro, it's hey, we're
7:08
Speaker 2: going to really try to win this thing. I think
7:11
Speaker 2: if it's Kelly, it's a we're probably not going to
7:14
Speaker 2: win this time. Let's try to establish somebody that maybe
7:18
Speaker 2: we can have some points with for twenty twenty eight.
7:21
Speaker 2: That's just my thoughts on that. And I don't know
7:23
Speaker 2: that he's a really solid candidate. I don't know that
7:26
Speaker 2: he can even give them Arizona or whatever. And then
7:29
Speaker 2: I think if Pete Bootage Edge is the candidate, this
7:32
Speaker 2: is a complete throwaway that this would be a candidate
7:35
Speaker 2: that would say, look, we're checking multiple boxes here, this
7:38
Speaker 2: is something we've never done before. We will have nominated
7:42
Speaker 2: in our VP selection a gay man. This is you know,
7:47
Speaker 2: that's out there. That's where I think this is. You know, potentially,
7:51
Speaker 2: those are the three that seem like and those are
7:52
Speaker 2: the reasons that I think that maybe they would be picked,
7:55
Speaker 2: and that would be a complete just we're not going
7:59
Speaker 2: to win, and we're basically gonna we're gonna eliminate her
8:03
Speaker 2: and eliminate him from the conversation. Will have given them
8:06
Speaker 2: their due, they will have lost, and then that will
8:09
Speaker 2: be the end of it. That's that was my thoughts
8:11
Speaker 2: on it. I'm not going to discard anybody's thoughts who knows,
8:15
Speaker 2: who knows what it could be. I do think that
8:18
Speaker 2: perhaps transitioning onto something else here. If Stacy Abrams had
8:24
Speaker 2: managed to win either of her attempts at becoming governor
8:28
Speaker 2: of Georgia, even though at one time she said that
8:31
Speaker 2: she won, even though she didn't. She's a bit of
8:33
Speaker 2: an election denier. We've talked about that at great length.
8:36
Speaker 2: She just was on I don't know, CNN or something,
8:40
Speaker 2: and I guess, you know, put somebody in their place,
8:44
Speaker 2: one of the hosts, saying that that was misinformation. She
8:46
Speaker 2: never said that. She was called out on what she said.
8:49
Speaker 2: She says, oh no, no, no, the rules in place
8:53
Speaker 2: made it unfair. I should have won. Whatever she acknowledged,
8:57
Speaker 2: I never won. I was never the governor of Georgia.
9:00
Speaker 2: I think if she'd won, maybe she'd be in the
9:03
Speaker 2: conversation at this point. I don't know. I mean, I
9:06
Speaker 2: feel like that was her hope and her plan. But
9:09
Speaker 2: a two time loser in Georgia, you know, she did
9:13
Speaker 2: worse the second time after she basically claimed that, you know,
9:19
Speaker 2: the first time, she should have won, and she was
9:21
Speaker 2: ready to go on that reelection. But anyway, I guess
9:24
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering like, how is she She showed up
9:26
Speaker 2: at Harris's event in Georgia and Atlanta the other night,
9:31
Speaker 2: and then she's doing interviews on scene, like it's isn't
9:35
Speaker 2: it interesting that she's just kind of popped her head up,
9:37
Speaker 2: like where out of nowhere? Where did that come from?
9:40
Speaker 2: I don't know. Does she think that she's now qualified
9:44
Speaker 2: to do I don't know. I don't know where or
9:47
Speaker 2: why this has come up again and all of a sudden.
9:49
Speaker 2: I mean, she's been popping up from time to time
9:52
Speaker 2: whenever discussions come in about Georgia, and I know she
9:54
Speaker 2: claims to be pushing to make Georgia election laws fair
9:58
Speaker 2: and all these things, and there's a lot of, uh,
10:00
Speaker 2: the misrepresentation of some of the changes that took place.
10:04
Speaker 2: Kurby Your Enthusiasm certainly did their fair share of misrepresenting that.
10:08
Speaker 2: My brother Matt is watching the final season and he's like, man,
10:12
Speaker 2: this is tough. They are just blatantly lying about what
10:16
Speaker 2: the laws are concerning food and water in line and
10:20
Speaker 2: it's like, I know, I know, Uh. The good news
10:23
Speaker 2: is the whole season, isn't that. I mean, it's an
10:25
Speaker 2: underlying thing in the season, But you don't have to
10:27
Speaker 2: put up with it. In every episode it's you know,
10:30
Speaker 2: it comes back. It starts that way and it ends
10:33
Speaker 2: that way. Sorry spoiler alert, but uh, anyway, so there
10:37
Speaker 2: there is uh, there is that, and I Stacy Abrams
10:41
Speaker 2: just kind of popping up out of nowhere. It just
10:43
Speaker 2: seems it seems a little like where did that come from?
10:47
Speaker 2: Doesn't it doesn't? It just feel a little bit like
10:50
Speaker 2: where where where's this coming from? What do we uh,
10:54
Speaker 2: what are we doing here exactly? We have some information
10:58
Speaker 2: about the uh Democrat Convention. The president, the current president
11:04
Speaker 2: of the United States, is going to speak primetime in
11:09
Speaker 2: the morning. I'm sorry the next primetime in the first night.
11:14
Speaker 2: That's what I meant to say in the first night,
11:17
Speaker 2: giving a primetime address after they pay tribute to him.
11:21
Speaker 2: One of the dangers is when I got a bunch
11:23
Speaker 2: of words on the screen, I start reading and I
11:25
Speaker 2: see words that from other stories, and I just randomly
11:28
Speaker 2: will say those words. If I ever say something that
11:30
Speaker 2: sounds really stupid, that's why, or because I'm saying something
11:33
Speaker 2: that's really stupid. So they want to pay tribute to him,
11:37
Speaker 2: They're going to give him all the credit and the
11:39
Speaker 2: glory for doing the right thing and falling on his
11:42
Speaker 2: sword for the party. And we've already seen Van Jones
11:48
Speaker 2: sob about it. Just Oh, what an incredible human being
11:54
Speaker 2: that he is for doing that, for doing that for
11:58
Speaker 2: the Party, for doing that for America, doing that just
12:03
Speaker 2: so that we can save democracy. What an absolutely beautiful
12:08
Speaker 2: thing that he did for everybody involved. So they're going
12:13
Speaker 2: to do that, They're going to make that tribute to him,
12:18
Speaker 2: and then they're going to I guess at that point
12:23
Speaker 2: they'll let him speak and he'll read from a prompter.
12:26
Speaker 2: I suspect it'll be short and sweet. I don't expect
12:29
Speaker 2: it to be one of those record breaking, insanely long
12:34
Speaker 2: speeches that we got from Trump. I do think that
12:37
Speaker 2: Trump speech was, you know, a little bit too long.
12:40
Speaker 2: I do feel like it went a little too long.
12:42
Speaker 2: But you know, that's him. That's what he does, and
12:46
Speaker 2: he had a lot to say, and you know, that's
12:49
Speaker 2: that's what happens. I do want to talk about Jillian Michaels.
12:57
Speaker 2: She is a you know, fitness guru, and she had
13:04
Speaker 2: some things to say about the Olympics and the Last
13:11
Speaker 2: Supper presentation. I want to say a couple things about
13:15
Speaker 2: this first of all, And I know I talked about
13:17
Speaker 2: it when it first happened, and I know that there
13:20
Speaker 2: are a lot of people who share my faith as
13:26
Speaker 2: a Christian and found it offensive. Okay, that's the first thing.
13:33
Speaker 2: It is a strange thing that happens that we do
13:37
Speaker 2: as a society when something like that offends us, we
13:40
Speaker 2: jump on social media. We jump on Facebook, and we
13:43
Speaker 2: tell you twenty five people or whatever your algorithms, don't
13:48
Speaker 2: let a lot of people see your stuff. They're not
13:50
Speaker 2: seeing it. You think they are. You fire it off.
13:54
Speaker 2: The people who like your posts are seeing it. You're
13:56
Speaker 2: not changing their opinion. They're just doing nothing but reaffirming
14:01
Speaker 2: whatever it is that you said. If they like your posts,
14:03
Speaker 2: a couple people that don't like them and comment on
14:05
Speaker 2: it might jump in and try to argue with you.
14:08
Speaker 2: But it's an interesting thing to me that we do.
14:10
Speaker 2: There's this innate need for us to jump in and
14:13
Speaker 2: fire on. Let me sound off online about this, And
14:17
Speaker 2: I'm not faulting people for it. It lets them get whatever
14:20
Speaker 2: it is off their chest. They get it out, they
14:22
Speaker 2: say it. They I have this, I can vent here,
14:26
Speaker 2: and thankfully I've got people that listen, and I appreciate that. Thankfully,
14:32
Speaker 2: I've built up an audience of people who like and
14:36
Speaker 2: appreciate what I have to say, even though sometimes they
14:39
Speaker 2: do disagree with me. But the point is this this
14:43
Speaker 2: thing that people do where they say, ah, I gotta
14:45
Speaker 2: let everybody know I'm mad about this last supper thing.
14:49
Speaker 2: I saw it. I thought it was tacky and inappropriate
14:52
Speaker 2: and offensive. Sadly, we've hit this point in society where
14:58
Speaker 2: some religions you're not allowed to do that with and
15:02
Speaker 2: some you are. And it does feel largely like the
15:07
Speaker 2: Christians are the ones that you can make fun of.
15:10
Speaker 2: You can make fun of a specific denomination. Sometimes you
15:14
Speaker 2: can make fun of the Catholic Church. You can make
15:17
Speaker 2: fun of any sort of Christian ideology period that covers
15:22
Speaker 2: all of it, and that it's just okay. But you
15:28
Speaker 2: can't draw a picture of Mohammed. But without you know,
15:31
Speaker 2: someone threatening to blow up a building, you are, and
15:35
Speaker 2: in the Catholic Church takes a beating. I mean, you
15:38
Speaker 2: think about the number of jokes at the expense of
15:42
Speaker 2: the Catholic Church and it's just kind of you know, ha haha, boy,
15:47
Speaker 2: And I don't have to say him. It's one of
15:49
Speaker 2: those low hanging fruit jokes and it's just what are
15:53
Speaker 2: we doing? And I feel like making fun of Christianity
15:56
Speaker 2: has become sort of a low hanging fruit thing. So
16:00
Speaker 2: Jillian Michaels, who is herself, she's a lesbian, She sort
16:09
Speaker 2: of and she did an interview with someone on Fox.
16:12
Speaker 2: I guess it was a Fox Digital thing. It may
16:15
Speaker 2: have also been something she did with Bill Maher because
16:18
Speaker 2: I know she's part of his podcast network. But she
16:22
Speaker 2: basically kind of laid this out and I think this
16:25
Speaker 2: is a really important thing coming from someone from that
16:29
Speaker 2: side of things. And she basically said, first of all,
16:33
Speaker 2: and she's addressing I think some Christians, some of the
16:35
Speaker 2: Christians who really take offense to the gay community and
16:40
Speaker 2: sound off about it. And she basically was just saying that,
16:45
Speaker 2: you know that comes across to us as a certain way, however,
16:50
Speaker 2: And she was addressing the gay community and just saying,
16:53
Speaker 2: this isn't how we win people over. We're not going
16:55
Speaker 2: to win over Christians by doing this sort of thing,
16:59
Speaker 2: this offensive thing. We're asking them to respect us, yet
17:03
Speaker 2: we won't respect them, we won't respect their beliefs about things.
17:08
Speaker 2: And in many ways this comes down to this conversation
17:12
Speaker 2: that we've had here many times about are you able
17:15
Speaker 2: to have your beliefs someone else have their beliefs, respect
17:19
Speaker 2: each other, and live your life. But when one group says,
17:25
Speaker 2: we think it's okay to live this lifestyle, and then
17:29
Speaker 2: you have a group and you have some Christians who
17:31
Speaker 2: are very in their business. Okay, that's not me, that's
17:36
Speaker 2: not me. That's not most of the people that I know,
17:40
Speaker 2: but there are some. But many of us just say, well,
17:44
Speaker 2: you live your life. You do you. I'm gonna do me,
17:48
Speaker 2: and I'm just thankful to have you in my life.
17:51
Speaker 2: That's my attitude. I want to be your friend, okay,
17:55
Speaker 2: because I also know that I'm not going to win
17:59
Speaker 2: someone over to my faith or my beliefs other than
18:02
Speaker 2: by living a certain way. That's the way that you
18:05
Speaker 2: do it. And of course by showing them love. That's
18:09
Speaker 2: the greatest commandment. Right, I'm supposed to love them, I'm
18:12
Speaker 2: supposed to care for them. But when someone basically tells you, okay,
18:19
Speaker 2: but now you have to believe what I believe, you
18:22
Speaker 2: have to and that's where it crosses a line. And
18:26
Speaker 2: in many cases, I know people I've told this story before,
18:31
Speaker 2: but I know someone who was transitioning and they laid
18:35
Speaker 2: it out. If you just say that, hey, you're okay
18:39
Speaker 2: with me doing this, that's not good enough. You have
18:43
Speaker 2: to tell me that what I'm doing is great, and
18:47
Speaker 2: you have to encourage it, and you have to tell
18:49
Speaker 2: other people that they should support it, and you have
18:53
Speaker 2: to be a strong advocate and ally that way. And
18:58
Speaker 2: that's where I draw the line. That's where I say,
19:00
Speaker 2: you don't get to tell me what I'm supposed to do.
19:03
Speaker 2: It should be enough that I care for you. It
19:07
Speaker 2: should be enough that I'm showing you friendship and love.
19:10
Speaker 2: That should be enough. I don't have to be active
19:15
Speaker 2: in promoting something that you're doing. I don't have to be.
19:18
Speaker 2: If you're a vegan, I can say good for you.
19:23
Speaker 2: I don't have to tell everybody that I know that
19:25
Speaker 2: vegan is the way to go and that everybody should
19:29
Speaker 2: do it because you decided that that's how you're going
19:32
Speaker 2: to eat organic food. Screaming about climate change, all of
19:37
Speaker 2: these things that are religion and politics has become obviously
19:42
Speaker 2: religion for many people. I've told you before that when
19:45
Speaker 2: climate change is screaming at us that we you know
19:48
Speaker 2: the world is going to end and that we have
19:51
Speaker 2: to give them all of our money and we have
19:54
Speaker 2: to follow their rules. I'm like, how is that not
19:57
Speaker 2: a religion? That's the crazy street preacher that's screaming at
20:00
Speaker 2: you that you're going to die, you know, with the
20:01
Speaker 2: sandwich board, And I mean, how is that different than that?
20:06
Speaker 2: That's the wild extreme version of it. So if they're
20:09
Speaker 2: telling us we have to give them our money, how
20:11
Speaker 2: are they not falling under the category of a religion.
20:14
Speaker 2: But anyway, that's a tangent. Kudos to Jillian Michaels from
20:18
Speaker 2: making this point because she was quick to say, look,
20:22
Speaker 2: this isn't winning over anyone, to respecting us, to appreciating us,
20:29
Speaker 2: to understanding us. This is just and she didn't use
20:33
Speaker 2: this term, but this is just poking the bear and
20:36
Speaker 2: that's exactly what it is. And it didn't serve any purpose.
20:39
Speaker 2: And to the people that are still defending it saying
20:41
Speaker 2: it wasn't. The transcript for the actual schedule for the
20:49
Speaker 2: night referred to it as the Last Supper. That's what
20:53
Speaker 2: it was referred to. That shot was referred to. Yes,
20:56
Speaker 2: they were doing Greek gods, but they were doing Greek
20:58
Speaker 2: God's intention in that image for the purposes of poking
21:04
Speaker 2: the bear. It's what they were doing. It was art,
21:07
Speaker 2: that's what they were trying to do. So there's no
21:10
Speaker 2: defending it. There's no defending a lot of things. I'm
21:13
Speaker 2: not going to ask someone to defend anybody who says
21:17
Speaker 2: something that I would consider extremist or intentionally offensive. I'm
21:20
Speaker 2: not going to do that. Why should anybody try to
21:24
Speaker 2: continue to defend? And it's amazing, isn't it, how everybody
21:27
Speaker 2: instantly became theologians. Oh well, what this really is? Let
21:33
Speaker 2: me tell you what this is. Let me share you
21:36
Speaker 2: this thing that someone else wrote and they got more
21:40
Speaker 2: than twenty five people that commented on it. So I'm
21:42
Speaker 2: going to share it with you, and this is going
21:44
Speaker 2: to lay it down on why you're wrong to have
21:47
Speaker 2: the feeling that you feel. I mean, that's the essence
21:51
Speaker 2: of where we have problems. Right is when you tell
21:53
Speaker 2: someone you're not allowed to think that, and you're not
21:55
Speaker 2: allowed to feel that, and people are. They're allowed to
21:59
Speaker 2: think and feel what whatever they want. That should be
22:01
Speaker 2: the beauty in it and we should respect that. But
22:04
Speaker 2: when we're so worried about being right, I want to
22:08
Speaker 2: be right, that's when we have an issue. That's a great,
22:12
Speaker 2: great point by Jillian Michaels, and I appreciated her for
22:16
Speaker 2: taking that stand on it. Today's show brought to you

23:17
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus Georgia.
23:21

Speaker 2: remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science

Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
24:11
Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
24:14
Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
24:20
Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
24:23
Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
24:27
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
24:31
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're
24:33
Speaker 2: there you can always ask them questions about some of
24:36
Speaker 2: the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your
24:38
Speaker 2: garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you
24:42
Speaker 2: want it to be and you need some repair work
24:44
Speaker 2: done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand
24:47
Speaker 2: new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when
24:51
Speaker 2: your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort
24:54
Speaker 2: of installation issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather,
24:58
Speaker 2: sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're
25:01
Speaker 2: looking at a situation where you'd like to add a
25:04
Speaker 2: screen door to your garage door system that you can
25:07
Speaker 2: put down and you can use your garage space as
25:10
Speaker 2: a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you
25:13
Speaker 2: like to work on your own cars in there, or
25:15
Speaker 2: maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd like
25:18
Speaker 2: to be able to open the door up and not
25:19
Speaker 2: invite all the insects in. They can do that for
25:22
Speaker 2: you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
25:25
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
25:27
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
25:31
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, And they do
25:34
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six thorty five eight forty

25:44
Speaker 2: right after the break. So Jimmy Kimmel and John Delaney
25:56
Speaker 2: have both said no to the Oscars coming up in March.
26:04
Speaker 2: So the Academy's got to figure out who they could
26:07
Speaker 2: get to possibly host the Oscars. Can I offer a suggestion?
26:14
Speaker 2: How about Kevin Hart? I mean, I know that's a
26:17
Speaker 2: sensitive subject. I know that he was asked to do
26:20
Speaker 2: it once before and people went after him and made
26:23
Speaker 2: him apologize for something he'd apologized for about one hundred
26:26
Speaker 2: times already, and then he didn't get to fulfill his
26:29
Speaker 2: life's dream of hosting the Oscars. Here's an idea. Let's
26:33
Speaker 2: give Kevin Hart another try, right, maybe we could just
26:37
Speaker 2: do that, or you know, maybe let Chris Rock do it.
26:39
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know, all right, So it
26:44
Speaker 2: got Hundreds of thousands of shoppers will be taking part
26:51
Speaker 2: in the six hundred and ninety mile stretch of Route
26:54
Speaker 2: one twenty seven from Michigan to Alabama over the weekend
26:58
Speaker 2: for the one twenty seven Corridor Sale, billed as the
27:02
Speaker 2: world's longest yard sale. How have I never heard of this.
27:06
Speaker 2: I don't know how it's possible that I've never heard
27:09
Speaker 2: of this. I guess not living in that along that
27:13
Speaker 2: stretch probably, But anyway, it actually begins today and it
27:19
Speaker 2: goes through Sunday. So if your plans, though, aren't taking
27:24
Speaker 2: you to the Midwest, you could find some yard sales.
27:27
Speaker 2: Of course, it's that time of year where people are
27:29
Speaker 2: doing yard sales, trying to close out things before we
27:32
Speaker 2: get into the holiday rush. So a new study has
27:35
Speaker 2: said that the best cities in the country for yard
27:39
Speaker 2: sale lovers, and they say it's based on yard sale access, climate,
27:44
Speaker 2: housing characteristics, interest. The study concluded the best city for
27:49
Speaker 2: yard sales is La Okay. I would think traffic just
27:54
Speaker 2: getting around there would be complicated. These are all pretty
27:56
Speaker 2: large cities, by the way, San Antonio, Dallas, Chicago, Houston,
28:01
Speaker 2: or the top five Fort Worth, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, witch to
28:05
Speaker 2: On Portland around out the top ten for the best
28:08
Speaker 2: cities for you to participate in yard sales. So yeah,
28:17
Speaker 2: I don't have plans. By the way, Atlanta was number
28:19
Speaker 2: twenty five on the list, and that was believe the
28:23
Speaker 2: closest one on quick scanning to us here in the area.
28:28
Speaker 2: Charlotte was forty nine on the list. Birmingham usually pops
28:33
Speaker 2: at seventy one. All right, I was making sure that
28:35
Speaker 2: Birmingham wasn't higher on the list than Atlanta or Charlotte.
28:42
Speaker 2: So there we go. Budget airline Spirit is making some
28:46
Speaker 2: big changes to ensure passengers have an opportunity to make
28:49
Speaker 2: themselves as comfortable as possible on flights, as the airline
28:53
Speaker 2: will begin selling special seating packages that will offer things
28:57
Speaker 2: like extra leg room or space, unlimited drinks and snacks.
29:01
Speaker 2: Instead of selling seating upgrades, Spirit is offering four packages,
29:06
Speaker 2: Go Big, Go Comfy, Go Savvy, and Just Go. The
29:10
Speaker 2: Go Big package includes a roomy seat in the front
29:14
Speaker 2: of the cabin, free Wi Fi, a checked bag, one
29:17
Speaker 2: piece of cabin luggage, and unlimited snacks and drinks, including alcohol.
29:21
Speaker 2: The Go Comfy package features a standard seat, but in
29:25
Speaker 2: a row with the middle seat left empty. It also
29:28
Speaker 2: includes earlier boarding, one snack, one non alcoholic beverage, check baggage,
29:33
Speaker 2: and a carry on item. Go Savvy comes with either
29:37
Speaker 2: a checked bag or a carry on item, and the
29:39
Speaker 2: Go package is just a seat with added fees for
29:43
Speaker 2: Wi fis, check luggage, and snacks. I've done Spirit Airlines
29:47
Speaker 2: once and I was looking for a very very cheap
29:51
Speaker 2: ticket to go to Chicago for Star Wars Celebration convention
29:56
Speaker 2: and I did, and you know, you just manage, you
30:00
Speaker 2: just suck it up. It's a flight. I'm not really
30:02
Speaker 2: on the plane for all those goodies, but how And
30:05
Speaker 2: the part of the thing that made Spirit what it
30:07
Speaker 2: is is that everybody had the go package. And I
30:11
Speaker 2: understand they're trying to come up with some other ways
30:14
Speaker 2: to do all of this, but I guess my question
30:16
Speaker 2: is if you're basically offering a version of first class
30:19
Speaker 2: now in front of the you're at the front of
30:21
Speaker 2: the plane and you got unlimited snacks and drinks and
30:26
Speaker 2: free checked bag and cabin luggage and Wi Fi, but
30:29
Speaker 2: it's not really first class. I'm assuming it's not going
30:31
Speaker 2: to cost a true first class rate, right, That's not
30:36
Speaker 2: going to be the case, I wouldn't think. And we
30:39
Speaker 2: had a wedding story this week about the woman who
30:43
Speaker 2: said her brother was doing the wedding at a naturist
30:47
Speaker 2: place and they wanted everybody to be naked for the wedding,
30:49
Speaker 2: and I thought that just got really strange when it's
30:52
Speaker 2: your sibling it's your sister at the wedding. But anyway,
30:56
Speaker 2: and he was upset. I guess that she wasn't going
30:58
Speaker 2: to participate. She didn't want to participate because she did
31:00
Speaker 2: want to be naked with some guy she didn't know,
31:02
Speaker 2: walking down the aisle in front of all these people,
31:05
Speaker 2: including her brother who was going to also be naked.
31:08
Speaker 2: But here's another one. On social media, people were asking
31:13
Speaker 2: about this wedding invitation this woman received. When she said
31:18
Speaker 2: she was waiting on the wedding invitation, she got the
31:21
Speaker 2: invitation in the mail and it was an invitation to
31:25
Speaker 2: tune into the live stream of the wedding. She said
31:27
Speaker 2: it hurt her feelings because the wedding wasn't a small one,
31:31
Speaker 2: and some folks tried to rehearssure her by saying, well,
31:34
Speaker 2: now you don't have to get them a gift. If
31:36
Speaker 2: you don't go, there's probably an expectation of a gift,
31:39
Speaker 2: though I think there might be an expectation for the gift.
31:44
Speaker 2: But anyway, so it is. You know, during COVID, we
31:48
Speaker 2: had one of those. It was a live stream wedding
31:51
Speaker 2: and we were in the B team, the B list,
31:54
Speaker 2: but it was a COVID wedding. We understood, and actually
31:58
Speaker 2: it was really nice because we felt like we were
32:00
Speaker 2: kind of, you know, part of it while at home.
32:03
Speaker 2: I think we were out on our deck with candles lit.
32:05
Speaker 2: It was really nice. We just sort of and we
32:07
Speaker 2: didn't have to dress up. It was great. We appreciated
32:11
Speaker 2: it and enjoyed it. But that's a different time. COVID
32:13
Speaker 2: was a completely different time. And finally, in Peru, they
32:18
Speaker 2: don't have Charlie's Angels. They've got the Phoenix Squad. It's
32:20
Speaker 2: a group of female detectives who specialize in catching cheaters.
32:24
Speaker 2: According to founder Jessica Molina, the group has solved over
32:27
Speaker 2: ten thousand cases in the last two decades. That's a lot,
32:31
Speaker 2: using everything from old fashioned detective work to drones and
32:34
Speaker 2: hidden cameras. While the Phoenix Squad investigates both men and
32:37
Speaker 2: women accused of being unfaithful to the detectives on the
32:40
Speaker 2: Squad are exclusively women because Molina believes they are best
32:44
Speaker 2: suited for the job. That'll do it for this Thursday
32:48
Speaker 2: edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons.
32:52
Speaker 2: Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
