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.
0:10
Speaker 2: Monday morning, second day of December. I'm Wes. Thanks for
0:15
Speaker 2: joining me. Almost forgot to set the alarm this morning.
0:20
Speaker 2: It's been nice having a couple days to sleep in.
0:24
Speaker 2: I hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday. I hope
0:28
Speaker 2: you avoided too much controversy or arguments. That was the prediction.
0:34
Speaker 2: There'd be so many arguments over the Thanksgiving holiday. People
0:40
Speaker 2: were being discouraged if you were a Democrat supporter from
0:44
Speaker 2: attending Thanksgiving gatherings that would have Republican relatives. It's a
0:49
Speaker 2: sad state that we've gotten to. It is a sad
0:52
Speaker 2: place that we have come to that you are not
0:56
Speaker 2: encouraged simply to just put things aside, go enjoy your family,
1:02
Speaker 2: enjoy time with them. I get sad sometimes when I
1:05
Speaker 2: think about that. I think about this desire for us
1:11
Speaker 2: to be completely all in on politics all the time,
1:17
Speaker 2: and I do feel like there is a certain amount
1:20
Speaker 2: of I guess this thought that if you are truly
1:28
Speaker 2: pushed into this and all in when it comes to politics,
1:32
Speaker 2: you're probably more likely or afraid. If they have managed
1:37
Speaker 2: to get you to be afraid, and they've gotten you
1:41
Speaker 2: that's sort of motivated, then you're more likely to be
1:46
Speaker 2: I guess down ballot voters. I think there may be
1:49
Speaker 2: some science to that. I don't know statistically how effective
1:54
Speaker 2: it is, but I do believe that that's what they believe.
1:57
Speaker 2: If they can scare you, if they can, you know,
2:02
Speaker 2: make you feel like and both sides do this, this
2:05
Speaker 2: is the most important election in history.
2:08
Speaker 3: This is the most important election in history.
2:10
Speaker 2: And then that, you know, it puts that sense of
2:13
Speaker 2: something hanging in the balance, and we've seen it doesn't
2:17
Speaker 2: always work. You've got people that I think are going
2:21
Speaker 2: to vote just party line, straight down any ticket. Those
2:25
Speaker 2: people are there. Those people aren't going anywhere, they're not changing,
2:29
Speaker 2: they're pretty loyal. You got some that are you know,
2:32
Speaker 2: that that group in the middle that everybody's always fighting over.
2:35
Speaker 2: And if you can motivate them to just vote straight ticket,
2:40
Speaker 2: you know, partying on your ticket, then then that's that's
2:43
Speaker 2: a win. So I think there's a certain amount of that,
2:46
Speaker 2: and I think that that goes on. But you get
2:48
Speaker 2: on the other side of an election, it's over. It's happened.
2:52
Speaker 2: It's one now, well, I guess you still got some
2:54
Speaker 2: states that are still trying to figure it out. They're
2:57
Speaker 2: licking their fingers and counting ballots or what. I don't
2:59
Speaker 2: know all the race is settled. I don't even know
3:02
Speaker 2: where we are. My point though, is it's a sad
3:06
Speaker 2: place that we've gotten to with that. And then also
3:09
Speaker 2: I think with kids. I think when people start dragging
3:12
Speaker 2: their you know, fourteen fifteen year olds to campaign events
3:17
Speaker 2: and things, I understand there's an importance of, hey, we
3:20
Speaker 2: have to, you know, start getting you interested in what's
3:24
Speaker 2: going on. But there's also a certain amount of let
3:28
Speaker 2: them be kids just for a little bit longer. If
3:30
Speaker 2: they're not voting in this election, they got two to
3:35
Speaker 2: four years before they're going to get a chance to vote,
3:38
Speaker 2: maybe if they're twelve, even longer than that. So, you know,
3:42
Speaker 2: let them just be kids. We don't have to put
3:45
Speaker 2: the pressures of the world on them. I understand you
3:48
Speaker 2: want to get them interested. I do it with my
3:53
Speaker 2: boys by simply having by simply having conversations with them.
3:57
Speaker 2: I explain to them, this is why I feel the
4:00
Speaker 2: way that I feel about things. What are your thoughts
4:03
Speaker 2: on it, you know, no pressure. I don't put pressure
4:07
Speaker 2: on them to have the same views that I do.
4:09
Speaker 2: When I explain why I have the views that I do,
4:12
Speaker 2: they tend to say, wow, that makes sense, dad, And
4:15
Speaker 2: you know that's sort of where things tend to fall.
4:18
Speaker 2: But we're not talking about putting them in a headlight
4:22
Speaker 2: headlock and giving them, you know, noogies. That's not what
4:24
Speaker 2: we're talking about. Let them be kids, they don't have
4:28
Speaker 2: to be adults and bracing themselves to vote at any
4:32
Speaker 2: given moment when they've got years to go. Still fighting.
4:41
Speaker 2: We had a great Thanksgiving, We ate way too much food.
4:47
Speaker 2: Recovering from my illness, still working on that, still fighting
4:53
Speaker 2: a little cough. If there's a little bit of a
4:55
Speaker 2: gap at any point, that's probably me killing the hitting
4:59
Speaker 2: the old cough button and the mic. Still fighting that,
5:02
Speaker 2: still dealing with It's not I'm at the tail end
5:05
Speaker 2: of it. It's just you know, a little bit of
5:08
Speaker 2: that residual stuff in the in the bronchial tubes, you know,
5:14
Speaker 2: because dealing with that, you get to that stage of
5:18
Speaker 2: a cold and you're just navigating through it. I don't know,
5:22
Speaker 2: I didn't take any kind of test. I don't know
5:23
Speaker 2: if it was if it was COVID or anything I
5:26
Speaker 2: know that's currently making the rounds. So the family all
5:33
Speaker 2: had it. I'm just the last one struggling with that
5:36
Speaker 2: little bit of a nagging cough.
5:37
Speaker 3: That won't go away.
5:41
Speaker 2: Just quite and I'm fighting it right now and I
5:44
Speaker 2: don't currently have a cough drop nearby.
5:47
Speaker 3: So this is the other side of that.
5:50
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get to the Biden's in a minute, but
5:54
Speaker 2: I want to remind you this is now We're now
5:56
Speaker 2: into what we call tech week. This is when weally
6:00
Speaker 2: start moving into the River Center for our Nutcracker Ballet
6:05
Speaker 2: shows with the Columbus Ballet, and that is this weekend.

6:14
Speaker 2: condensed version of the show. If you have children that

Speaker 2: year playing the Mother Ginger. We have a great group
6:49
Speaker 2: of eight kids that come out of the dress and
6:53
Speaker 2: dance around and looking forward to sharing the stage with them.
6:57
Speaker 2: We've been working at rehearsals very hard on a couple
7:01
Speaker 2: of things. First and foremost, please don't knock me down.
7:04
Speaker 2: That's a big part of the show. And then the
7:07
Speaker 2: rest of it, of course, is us just dancing our
7:09
Speaker 2: tails off. That's what we do. That's what we do,
7:13

Speaker 2: you can join us for the Nutcracker Ballet, we hope
7:18
Speaker 2: to see you this weekend. If you don't already have
7:21
Speaker 2: your tickets, get them through the River Center box office
7:25
Speaker 2: or Therivercenter dot org. Don't go through the ticket brokers
7:29
Speaker 2: and pay, you know, one hundred dollars or something for
7:32
Speaker 2: a ticket.
7:32
Speaker 3: You shouldn't do that. That's what we don't want you
7:35
Speaker 3: to do.
7:35
Speaker 2: Get them through the river Center and don't make a
7:38
Speaker 2: bunch of money unless you just want to give money
7:40
Speaker 2: to the ticket brokers that are jacking up the prices.
7:43
Speaker 2: I mean, that's your prerogative, but we're not we're not
7:46
Speaker 2: encouraging you to do that Rivercenter dot org, river Center
7:50
Speaker 2: box office, call the River Center. Just get them, get
7:54
Speaker 2: them through the River Center. That's what you want to do.
7:56
Speaker 2: That's how you want to get your tickets. But we
7:59
Speaker 2: hope to see you there for the Nutcracker Ballet.
8:01
Speaker 3: Okay.
8:02
Speaker 2: Uh so, uh President Biden told us a big old
8:06
Speaker 2: fib didn't he I am not going to pardon my son.
8:11
Speaker 2: That is not going to happen. I am going to
8:14
Speaker 2: let the bide by the jury's decision. That was the
8:19
Speaker 2: words that he used after the conviction his son a
8:24
Speaker 2: number of things, including tax evasion and buying a gun
8:28
Speaker 2: and all these things. Uh, it's I mean, and he
8:32
Speaker 2: he described it as a sad situation at one point,
8:37
Speaker 2: and and yes it is. So I'm sorry. It was
8:46
Speaker 2: actually former President Trump President elect Trump said it was
8:48
Speaker 2: a sad situation. But he predicted that Biden would actually,
8:56
Speaker 2: uh pardon him. That's what he predicted that He said, no, no,
9:00
Speaker 2: he's going to pardon him and called it a sad situation. Okay,
9:04
Speaker 2: So let's let's kind of break some of this down.
9:06
Speaker 2: First of all, it's there's so many layers of hypocrisy
9:12
Speaker 2: in this and even the way that it's been covered,
9:16
Speaker 2: so first and foremost, I'm gonna be completely honest. I
9:22
Speaker 2: understand he probably felt a need to answer the question,
9:26
Speaker 2: are you going to pardon your son? Doesn't surprise me
9:30
Speaker 2: at all that he pardoned him. Okay, this is one
9:33
Speaker 2: of those things where your president of the United States,
9:38
Speaker 2: this has happened to your son, your son not running
9:43
Speaker 2: for office, but certainly a what do they call the
9:48
Speaker 2: he's presidential adjacent? That was the they used that in
9:53
Speaker 2: that to Bratt's documentary about people that weren't quite in
9:56
Speaker 2: the brat pack, but they were brat pack adjacent. That
10:00
Speaker 2: was a great way to describe it. I heard it
10:02
Speaker 2: use for a number of things. I think Paul Rudd
10:05
Speaker 2: kind of called him. He wasn't friends, but he was
10:07
Speaker 2: friends adjacent because he was on the show. So it
10:11
Speaker 2: doesn't surprise me that Biden would do this and pardon
10:19
Speaker 2: his son. He says it was because of an unfair prosecution.
10:24
Speaker 2: He says that he felt like basically it was a
10:34
Speaker 2: situation where he was treated differently by prosecutors.
10:41
Speaker 3: He said.
10:46
Speaker 2: He said, from the day I took office, I said
10:48
Speaker 2: I would not interfere with the Justice Department's decision making
10:50
Speaker 2: and I kept my word even as I watched my
10:52
Speaker 2: son being selectively and unfairly prosecuted without aggravating factors like
10:59
Speaker 2: use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon
11:02
Speaker 2: as a straw purchaser. People are almost never brought to
11:07
Speaker 2: trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out
11:10
Speaker 2: a gun form. Those who were late paying their taxes
11:14
Speaker 2: because of serious addictions but paid them back subsequently with
11:16
Speaker 2: interest and penalties are typically given non criminal resolutions.
11:23
Speaker 3: Okay, So this is oh.
11:25
Speaker 2: And he also said, basically said Americans should understand why
11:33
Speaker 2: father and a president would come to this decision Concerning
11:37
Speaker 2: Hunter's addictions. He says has been an effort to break Hunter,
11:40
Speaker 2: who has been five and a half years sober, even
11:42
Speaker 2: in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution and
11:46
Speaker 2: trying to break Hunter. They've tried to break me, and
11:48
Speaker 2: there's no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough
11:51
Speaker 2: is enough, Okay, So let's go through a couple of
11:56
Speaker 2: the logic points on this. As far as him talking
12:00
Speaker 2: about unfair prosecution, I don't think anybody other than this administration,
12:06
Speaker 2: or maybe a couple of administrations going back maybe to
12:13
Speaker 2: the Obama administration.
12:14
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know many people who.
12:16
Speaker 2: Can honestly look you in the eye and tell you
12:19
Speaker 2: that Hunter was unfairly prosecuted while saying or suggesting that
12:25
Speaker 2: Trump was fairly prosecuted. Remember, we were told repeatedly he's
12:31
Speaker 2: not above the law. Just because he was the former
12:34
Speaker 2: president doesn't mean he's above the law. He's got to
12:39
Speaker 2: be prosecuted like everybody else, and he doesn't get special
12:43
Speaker 2: treatment just because he's a former president. A jury has
12:47
Speaker 2: spoken and he should find out the sentencing and pay
12:52
Speaker 2: the consequences. So if that applies to Donald Trump a
12:57
Speaker 2: few months ago, it certainly would apply to Hunter. Biden
13:02
Speaker 2: all the way through, right, I mean, that's what's fair
13:05
Speaker 2: and reasonable. But of course Biden was saying these things
13:08
Speaker 2: about his son while Trump was being unfairly prosecuted, and
13:13
Speaker 2: to make this comment, and I don't disagree with some
13:17
Speaker 2: of this. You know, maybe they did go a bit
13:21
Speaker 2: far in the prosecution of Hunter, but again, not above
13:26
Speaker 2: the law, and he's not being prosecuted specifically as.
13:30
Speaker 3: A candidate for president.
13:31
Speaker 2: They weren't going after him to get his name off
13:33
Speaker 2: of a ballot the way the left was trying to
13:36
Speaker 2: get Trump off of ballots and incapable of people voting
13:41
Speaker 2: for him. So you say this without aggregating factors like
13:45
Speaker 2: using crime multiporches, are buying a weapon as a straw purchase,
13:48
Speaker 2: or people were almost never brought to trial on felony
13:50
Speaker 2: charges solely for how they filled out a gun for him.
13:54
Speaker 2: How about this. The miss use or miss ledgering of
14:03
Speaker 2: political funds is a misdemeanor and it's almost never turned
14:11
Speaker 2: into felony charges the way that it was against Trump.
14:15
Speaker 2: So they come up with a creative way to take
14:19
Speaker 2: something that was past the statute of limitations, and let's
14:24
Speaker 2: figure out a way to make this a felony so
14:26
Speaker 2: we can turn this into different try and make it
14:28
Speaker 2: more severe. We want to call him a convicted felon
14:30
Speaker 2: even though no sentencing has happened yet. Therefore he's not
14:34
Speaker 2: technically a felon until sentencing happens.
14:37
Speaker 3: So here we are.
14:40
Speaker 2: Talking about what's fair and this is typically not something
14:48
Speaker 2: that turns into felony charges. And then the next part
14:51
Speaker 2: is what's really good where he says those who were
14:57
Speaker 2: late paying their taxes because of serious addictions but paid
14:59
Speaker 2: them back up Quintley with interest and penalties are typically
15:02
Speaker 2: given non criminal resolutions. Okay, when Barack Obama had some
15:11
Speaker 2: millions right that just weren't logged properly from campaign funds, misdemeanor,
15:20
Speaker 2: paid a fine, moved on. When Hillary Clinton used money
15:25
Speaker 2: from her campaign for that Steele dossier Russia collusion, you know,
15:32
Speaker 2: paid a fine, misdemeanor, they moved on. That's typically what
15:36
Speaker 2: they do in cases where you have basically a case
15:42
Speaker 2: where the ledgering of funds isn't accurate. But we know
15:49
Speaker 2: what this started as was there were two things that
15:52
Speaker 2: they wanted to do in the Trump case. They wanted
15:56
Speaker 2: to make him a felon so that they could try
15:59
Speaker 2: to use that to keep him from being able to
16:02
Speaker 2: run and win again, that didn't work. The other thing
16:07
Speaker 2: that they wanted to do was get Stormy Daniels in
16:12
Speaker 2: court so that she could air out the thing that
16:17
Speaker 2: was purchased, just to quickly recap. So this was a
16:21
Speaker 2: case where and this is pretty common, this happens all
16:24
Speaker 2: the time with celebrities. You have a celebrity who says,
16:27
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I've got a scandal. Somebody wants to
16:29
Speaker 2: come out and say something bad about me, and they're
16:32
Speaker 2: trying to sell their story, and they might go to someone,
16:37
Speaker 2: you know, like a you know, one of the those
16:42
Speaker 2: those magazines that once upon a time there I don't
16:46
Speaker 2: ways say anybody name, but you know the ones.
16:48
Speaker 3: They they would they would be.
16:49
Speaker 2: At the register, they'd have the bat boy on it,
16:51
Speaker 2: whatever it was, and they would go to them and
16:53
Speaker 2: they would say, you know, or someone from their team
16:57
Speaker 2: and say, hey, why don't you guys buy that story
16:59
Speaker 2: and then just don't run it. And that happens. That
17:04
Speaker 2: happens from time to time. Someone pays for the story
17:07
Speaker 2: and then they just shelf it and it goes away
17:09
Speaker 2: and the person's story never gets out in the public.
17:11
Speaker 2: But they make their money and they don't care and
17:13
Speaker 2: they move on. Some of them really want the story
17:16
Speaker 2: to get published. So that's ultimately what happened. Stormy Daniels said,
17:21
Speaker 2: you know, there was an affair with Trump, and now
17:23
Speaker 2: it later became I think, I don't know what happened.
17:26
Speaker 2: There was confusion about it, but yeah, that story just
17:31
Speaker 2: got taken away so that it wouldn't be used in
17:33
Speaker 2: his campaign against Hillary Clinton. So the money was listed
17:40
Speaker 2: as legal fees and you know, all right, so it
17:44
Speaker 2: wasn't legal fees. It was money paid for. But Trump's
17:48
Speaker 2: you know, side of the case was, hey, lawyer took
17:51
Speaker 2: care of all that. I just paid him legal fees.
17:53
Speaker 2: He asked for money to do it. That's what I did.
17:55
Speaker 2: And they turned that into you know, this felony charge.
18:01
Speaker 2: And that's ultimately one of the goals was to get
18:06
Speaker 2: her in open court and let her tell her story
18:08
Speaker 2: that they effectively silenced. They thought, we're going to get
18:11
Speaker 2: this story out there anyway, ha ha, we win. So
18:15
Speaker 2: that was the two and either one of those things worked.
18:17
Speaker 2: He's president elect. He's going to be sworn in January twentieth,
18:21
Speaker 2: and then hopefully things will get back on track. And
18:25
Speaker 2: it looks like, you know this, I'm not going to
18:30
Speaker 2: pardon Hunter. Oh wait, no, I am going to pardon Hunter.
18:34
Speaker 2: And I don't blame him for doing it. But you
18:37
Speaker 2: can't stand up and tell everybody be self righteous and say,
18:42
Speaker 2: you know, Trump has to be He has to face
18:45
Speaker 2: the consequences for his actions. No one is above the
18:49
Speaker 2: law except my kid.
18:51
Speaker 3: I mean, I get it.
18:53
Speaker 2: I think a lot of parents would do that for
18:55
Speaker 2: their kid. Just a quick note, Trump's asking about the
18:58
Speaker 2: January sixth people that have been in jail with no
19:01
Speaker 2: real due process. He wants to know are they going
19:04
Speaker 2: to be pardon? I mean, that's a fair question that
19:10
Speaker 2: comes from Trump on truth social Does the pardon given
19:13
Speaker 2: by Joe to Hunter include the j six hostages who
19:16
Speaker 2: have been imprisoned for years such an abuse and miscarriage
19:20
Speaker 2: of justice? That is a definite question that should be
19:25
Speaker 2: should be answered. I think we know what the answer is. No, No,
19:29
Speaker 2: they're gonna do anything for those people. But ultimately, now
19:33
Speaker 2: with just you know, month and a half or so
19:37
Speaker 2: to goo of his presidency, he wanted to make sure
19:40
Speaker 2: he got his son taken care of, and that's what
19:43
Speaker 2: he did. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State

Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
22:08
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
22:11
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
22:13
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
22:17
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
22:21
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes
22:24
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
22:28

22:33
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
22:36
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor you know, if you like
22:39
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
22:41
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid, you'd like to
22:44
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
22:46
Speaker 2: all the insects in.
22:47
Speaker 3: They can do that for you as well, and again
22:49
Speaker 3: they do after hours calls.
22:51
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
22:53
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
22:57
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
23:00
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty

23:10
Speaker 2: Right after the break, Mwana two topped the box office
23:23
Speaker 2: for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, breaking the record two hundred
23:30
Speaker 2: twenty one million over the five day holiday, uh, surpassing
23:33
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty five million for Frozen two back
23:36
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen. Initially, this was going to be a
23:42
Speaker 2: streaming release for Disney, and they decided to put it
23:45
Speaker 2: into theaters. I think they're probably happy with that decision
23:49
Speaker 2: at this point. Officially for the weekend, Mowana two was
23:52
Speaker 2: one one hundred and thirty five point five million. Wicked
23:55
Speaker 2: eighty million, Gladiator two thirty point seven million, Red One,
24:00
Speaker 2: and Best Christmas Pageant Ever finishing out the top five there.
24:05
Speaker 2: So I like seeing that in there. Best Christmas Pageant Ever.
24:09
Speaker 2: That was kind of one of those holiday classics, that
24:12
Speaker 2: book that a lot of people would have read back
24:17
Speaker 2: in the day. I remember it from childhood when I
24:20
Speaker 2: heard the I don't know that I ever actually read
24:24
Speaker 2: it myself. Maybe we had a teacher.
24:26
Speaker 3: In school read it to us when we were really young.
24:29
Speaker 2: But I like like seeing that doing well at the
24:33
Speaker 2: box office for the weekend and not a big shock,
24:39
Speaker 2: I think because Mohana was such a big hit, such
24:42
Speaker 2: a popular thing, and then, you know, I think it's
24:45
Speaker 2: one of those they figured out a way, you know,
24:47
Speaker 2: the rock is in everything, they figured out a way
24:49
Speaker 2: to get him in a.
24:53
Speaker 3: Into Disney movie.
24:56
Speaker 2: You still working on the Thanksgiving leftovers. We do still
25:02
Speaker 2: have some in the fridge. I did not eat any,
25:06
Speaker 2: No I did. I did I ate the last two
25:09
Speaker 2: doubled eggs yesterday. I was gonna say I didn't eat
25:12
Speaker 2: any yesterday, but I had I did have the last
25:14
Speaker 2: two deviled eggs. I saw them in there, and I
25:18
Speaker 2: realized at this point I think it's fair game. Everything's
25:22
Speaker 2: up for grabs at this point. So I had those yesterday.
25:29
Speaker 2: We're getting to that point where you probably should start
25:32
Speaker 2: thinking about ditching them. And they basically say it just
25:36
Speaker 2: depends on how you're storing the food, how long it
25:40
Speaker 2: sat out before you put it away into the fridge
25:42
Speaker 2: or freezer. Basically within if you if you'd put them
25:47
Speaker 2: away within two hours of serving them and they're put
25:51
Speaker 2: in airtight containers, experts say about four days.
25:55
Speaker 3: We've gotten there. I mean, if I'm doing my math right,
25:59
Speaker 3: we're now. We had a few. We actually did two Thanksgivings.
26:02
Speaker 2: We did a Thursday and a Friday, so we got
26:04
Speaker 2: leftovers from each, so we I mean, we're but we're close,
26:09
Speaker 2: We're almost out. They say, if you froze them, you
26:12
Speaker 2: can keep them for up to six months.
26:15
Speaker 3: But you know, I don't know why anybody.
26:18
Speaker 2: I mean, you could, but why would anybody still be
26:21
Speaker 2: eating Thanksgiving food in six months? It seems to me
26:24
Speaker 2: there's like a window for when it's the uh, it's
26:29
Speaker 2: the best time to eat those types of meals, because
26:32
Speaker 2: some of those meals, you know, some of the Thanksgiving foods,
26:36
Speaker 2: I mean, who's eating cranberry sauce other than over like
26:39
Speaker 2: between now and Christmas.
26:41
Speaker 3: I mean, you're eating cranberry sauce like at Easter. Who's
26:45
Speaker 3: doing that? I guess some people might.
26:48
Speaker 2: A survey found that fifty eight percent of respondent said
26:50
Speaker 2: that they're more likely to take naps during.
26:53
Speaker 3: The holiday season than any other time of the year.
26:56
Speaker 2: And of course a lot of people napped on Thanksgiving
27:01
Speaker 2: or Black Friday. And it basically, you know, it has
27:05
Speaker 2: to do with food. Maybe you're having that insulin crash
27:09
Speaker 2: or whatever. And then for Black Friday, maybe you got
27:13
Speaker 2: up early and you you know, jumping on some of
27:16
Speaker 2: the Now a lot of the Black Friday deals were online,
27:21
Speaker 2: you were able to do them a little earlier, but
27:22
Speaker 2: there were some I think that popped in, you know,
27:26
Speaker 2: early in the day on Friday. Of course, today Cyber Monday,
27:30
Speaker 2: chance for you to still get some of those deals.
27:33
Speaker 2: They're going to keep the deals going as long as possible.
27:35
Speaker 2: It is a lot nicer that you don't have to
27:39
Speaker 2: you know, camp out overnight somewhere just to try to
27:43
Speaker 2: get a TV or whatever. I mean, that was a
27:45
Speaker 2: time that I think maybe a distant memory for us,
27:50
Speaker 2: and I don't I'd like to think that my kids
27:52
Speaker 2: will be like, wait, you did what you guys had
27:54
Speaker 2: to do.
27:55
Speaker 3: I don't. I never did a camp out.
27:58
Speaker 2: I don't even know that I ever got up really
28:01
Speaker 2: early to hit any of those stores.
28:03
Speaker 3: Like that wasn't really my thing.
28:05
Speaker 2: I was working back when that was kind of in
28:09
Speaker 2: its prime, so I had to be up anyway to
28:11
Speaker 2: go to work.
28:12
Speaker 3: So it's a little different when you're on the retail
28:15
Speaker 3: side of it.
28:16
Speaker 2: So and I'm also really glad that most places have
28:19
Speaker 2: gotten rid of that hey we're open, come on in
28:21
Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving thing, because that was awful. I had to
28:25
Speaker 2: do that a few times in my retail days, and
28:27
Speaker 2: those were not fun days to be at work. Nobody
28:30
Speaker 2: was shopping, and the people that were shopping weren't buying
28:35
Speaker 2: very much. I mean, I was in a grocery store
28:37
Speaker 2: and people were like coming in to buy, like, oh,
28:39
Speaker 2: I had to buy a can of peas, and they
28:42
Speaker 2: would say things like boy, must stink to be here
28:44
Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving and they're like, well, you're why, You're the reason.
28:48
Speaker 2: Thanks for coming in though for that can of peace,
28:52
Speaker 2: and back then it would have been you know, like
28:54
Speaker 2: sixty five cents or something. For a can of piece.
28:58
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know.
28:59
Speaker 3: It depends on some stores. Maybe you can still do that.
29:02
Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Monday edition of the show.
29:04
Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
