- 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.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Thursday morning, second day of October. I'm West Thanks for
- 0:14Speaker 2: joining me. Now four weeks out from my neck surgery.
- 0:19Speaker 2: So far, so good, Little steps, little steps, man. I'm
- 0:23Speaker 2: a couple of weeks away from my next follow up appointment.
- 0:26Speaker 2: I guess they'll do some scans and things, but I
- 0:29Speaker 2: think we've made some progress, not as fast as I
- 0:32Speaker 2: had hoped at this point. I guess I really thought
- 0:36Speaker 2: by this point it would be we would be at
- 0:38Speaker 2: a different place. But that's just me being impatient, because
- 0:41Speaker 2: you have those days where things are really making strides
- 0:45Speaker 2: and then you think, Okay, this is great. I could
- 0:47Speaker 2: probably do more things than I should be doing, and
- 0:50Speaker 2: then you go, man, I'm really sore because I did
- 0:52Speaker 2: those things. I have worked myself back into the gym
- 0:55Speaker 2: a little bit. I don't know that, you know, I
- 0:57Speaker 2: was told that would be fine, and I don't know
- 0:59Speaker 2: that that's been helpful as much as it's caused some
- 1:03Speaker 2: of the pain to come back. But I feel like
- 1:05Speaker 2: that's part of the process of getting back to one
- 1:07Speaker 2: hundred percent and my goal, of course, is to be
- 1:10Speaker 2: back at one hundred percent ready for the Nutcracker, which
- 1:13Speaker 2: is returning to the River Center for this Christmas season,
- 1:20Speaker 2: the annual holiday tradition that is the Nutcracker, and we
- 1:25Speaker 2: look forward to seeing you there. I'll be back in
- 1:26Speaker 2: the role of Mother Ginger for the seventh time, and
- 1:30Speaker 2: I am really excited about getting back up on the
- 1:34Speaker 2: stilts post surgery, well, just being back on the stilts period,
- 1:38Speaker 2: opportunity to get back in the role and it's a
- 1:40Speaker 2: lot of fun. And if you haven't been to see
- 1:45Speaker 2: me and the rest of the cast, I'm the biggest
- 1:47Speaker 2: star of the show if you just go off of
- 1:50Speaker 2: me on the stilts and in the dress, but the
- 1:54Speaker 2: biggest star of the show. My friend Lufurigno would say
- 1:57Speaker 2: that when he would go to conventions, he's the big
- 2:00Speaker 2: star at the convention because you know, he's the Hulk
- 2:02Speaker 2: for crying out loud. But the Nutcracker Ballet happened Saturday,
- 2:06Speaker 2: December thirteenth and December Sunday, December fourteenth, seven point thirty
- 2:11Speaker 2: on Saturday, and then a matinee show at two thirty
- 2:14Speaker 2: at the River Center. When you get your tickets, go
- 2:16Speaker 2: to the Columbus Ballet dot org or go to the
- 2:18Speaker 2: River Center box office or the River Center's websites to
- 2:21Speaker 2: get your tickets. There's other places that buy the tickets
- 2:24Speaker 2: and then they sell you the tickets for like they
- 2:26Speaker 2: jack the prices up, and you shouldn't have to worry
- 2:28Speaker 2: about getting the tickets at a markup price. If you
- 2:32Speaker 2: go to one of those two places to get your tickets,
- 2:35Speaker 2: then you are in a position where you're going to
- 2:37Speaker 2: get the tickets at the price they're intended to be
- 2:39Speaker 2: and not a markup price. You don't want to have
- 2:41Speaker 2: to do that. And I mean tickets starting at thirty
- 2:45Speaker 2: five bucks up to like fifty nine, Like that's the
- 2:48Speaker 2: range thirty five fifty three fifty nine, depending on where
- 2:50Speaker 2: you'd like to sit. And I'm looking at the seats
- 2:53Speaker 2: right now, I'm seeing some of the seats filling up.
- 2:55Speaker 2: So make sure to get your tickets for one of
- 2:59Speaker 2: those two shows thirteenth or fourteenth at the River Center.
- 3:03Speaker 2: We do a couple of other shows as well. Those
- 3:06Speaker 2: are not open to the public. Someone there's a Friday
- 3:11Speaker 2: show that's for school school age kids. Is a Friday
- 3:14Speaker 2: evening show that's sort of a military appreciation show. So
- 3:18Speaker 2: we got a couple extra shows that we do as well.
- 3:20Speaker 2: But the two for you to be worried about forgetting
- 3:23Speaker 2: tickets is thirteenth and fourteenth. They're at the River Center
- 3:27Speaker 2: box office or at the Columbus Ballet dot org. That's
- 3:32Speaker 2: where you want to get your tickets. And I'm excited
- 3:34Speaker 2: to be back great cast great, and I'm because of
- 3:39Speaker 2: my surgery recovery. I haven't started my rehearsal part yet.
- 3:42Speaker 2: I don't usually go in really until somewhere around mid
- 3:46Speaker 2: October normally anyway. So I'm on schedule for all of
- 3:50Speaker 2: that and ready to get back up on the stilts
- 3:52Speaker 2: and do my thing. But I want to get past
- 3:55Speaker 2: this next doctor's appointment so they can start clearing me
- 3:57Speaker 2: for all those sorts of things. So check it out
- 4:00Speaker 2: Rivercenter dot org or the Coolumbus Ballet dot org. I
- 4:06Speaker 2: haven't talked about this because there's been other things going on,
- 4:09Speaker 2: but this, this, gentleman, if you will, this happened, I
- 4:17Speaker 2: guess over the last couple of weeks where we had
- 4:21Speaker 2: a school board president who was arrested because he's an illegal.
- 4:29Speaker 2: He had been given his orders to leave. I think
- 4:34Speaker 2: a couple of times in the past, and he just
- 4:38Speaker 2: never left and he's just kind of stuck around and
- 4:43Speaker 2: he's been working and he has apparently now as we've
- 4:48Speaker 2: learned a little bit more about him, we've learned that
- 4:52Speaker 2: he was registered to vote, So this was this all
- 4:58Speaker 2: happened in Des Moines, Iowa. That's where he's been living
- 5:00Speaker 2: and working head of the school board. He had actually
- 5:04Speaker 2: lived at one point in Maryland where he was a
- 5:08Speaker 2: registered voter. He had registered through the Maryland State Board
- 5:13Speaker 2: of Elections. And there's a lot of questions that have
- 5:18Speaker 2: come out with how someone could be in the country
- 5:20Speaker 2: illegally over stay their visa at some point and be
- 5:24Speaker 2: asked to leave his name Ian Andre Roberts. And I
- 5:30Speaker 2: guess there's just the questions pile up of why wasn't
- 5:34Speaker 2: there a proper background check on this guy in Des Moines?
- 5:38Speaker 2: Like how does he get to this job, you know,
- 5:41Speaker 2: working ahead of the school board, supervising school board? Like
- 5:47Speaker 2: how is he able to have this kind of influence
- 5:50Speaker 2: over school aged kids. We have a lot of concerns
- 5:54Speaker 2: about how, you know, schools are managed to begin with
- 5:59Speaker 2: more so at the college level. A lot of this
- 6:01Speaker 2: got exposed after the Charlie Kirk assassination, and it's really
- 6:08Speaker 2: started to raise questions about the people that are teaching
- 6:12Speaker 2: kids at all all ages. And you know, it's one
- 6:17Speaker 2: of those things where I know some people who say, well,
- 6:19Speaker 2: I agree with what they're being taught, or maybe they've
- 6:24Speaker 2: got a teacher that isn't a far left extremist and
- 6:28Speaker 2: it's a far right person or just a right person,
- 6:30Speaker 2: and they talk to their kids and it's easy to say, well,
- 6:34Speaker 2: I'm okay with that. Whichever side you're on. We get
- 6:37Speaker 2: kind of lulled into this, like, but what if that
- 6:40Speaker 2: we don't agree with them. It's one of those concerns
- 6:43Speaker 2: where you say, well, I don't mind if they agree.
- 6:46Speaker 2: If I agree with their thinking, I don't mind. But
- 6:49Speaker 2: that's where you have to start thinking about this. And
- 6:52Speaker 2: I sort of slipped ahead with what I was going
- 6:54Speaker 2: to say. As far as the far right, if you've
- 6:55Speaker 2: got someone on the far left that's celebrating Charlie Kirk
- 6:59Speaker 2: being assassinated, if you've got somebody who says that just
- 7:03Speaker 2: you know, debate, general discussion, general public discourse is something
- 7:09Speaker 2: that we shouldn't be taking part in. And these are
- 7:13Speaker 2: people that are teaching kids. And if you agree with
- 7:18Speaker 2: this thought and you think, well they should be, then
- 7:20Speaker 2: what would you agree that we should have teachers doing
- 7:23Speaker 2: the same thing if they had kind of thoughts on
- 7:26Speaker 2: the far right? Would you be pro that? Would you
- 7:30Speaker 2: support their freedom of speech and their right to speak
- 7:35Speaker 2: on that behalf on the behalf of people that have
- 7:37Speaker 2: similar views, you probably wouldn't. And that's where the concern
- 7:42Speaker 2: is is at what point do we have teachers and
- 7:45Speaker 2: legislators and things that are doing this and we look,
- 7:48Speaker 2: you're gonna have these situations that are going to come
- 7:50Speaker 2: up at the college level. This has long been the
- 7:52Speaker 2: thing is that's typically the age anyway, where people start
- 7:56Speaker 2: to kind of break away a little bit from their parents.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Maybe they've got some different things they want to get
- 8:00Speaker 2: around other people, they're exposed to. Things That also happens
- 8:03Speaker 2: in the military. I mean, I know people that join
- 8:06Speaker 2: the military and they got around other people that had
- 8:08Speaker 2: different maybe world views than they had when they got
- 8:11Speaker 2: around them, and then things started to change a little bit.
- 8:14Speaker 2: It happened sometimes in the workforce, depending on what your
- 8:18Speaker 2: job is. I've got friends that got into healthcare, like
- 8:21Speaker 2: you know, out of state, went elsewhere and started to slowly,
- 8:25Speaker 2: depending on where they were living, started to have similar
- 8:29Speaker 2: views to the people that they worked with and not
- 8:31Speaker 2: so much the views that they had when they lived here,
- 8:35Speaker 2: and I knew them when they lived locally. So there
- 8:38Speaker 2: is an age, there is a period of time where
- 8:40Speaker 2: we sort of start to look into some other things,
- 8:43Speaker 2: and typically that college age is it. But the problem,
- 8:46Speaker 2: of course that we have is when you start looking
- 8:49Speaker 2: at specifically jobs and careers where the taxpayer money is
- 8:54Speaker 2: what's paying the salaries of the people. When you want
- 8:56Speaker 2: things to be fair and you want people to be
- 8:59Speaker 2: reasonable in their lithe thinking, in their thought process. And
- 9:02Speaker 2: I'm talking specifically, I'm not just there were people who
- 9:08Speaker 2: just went nuts, like celebrated someone being assassinated. And I'm
- 9:12Speaker 2: talking about those people that you know a lot of
- 9:16Speaker 2: those people at colleges around the country lost their jobs
- 9:20Speaker 2: because they were celebrating an assassination. And it wasn't just
- 9:24Speaker 2: an assassination. It was political, but it was also religious.
- 9:28Speaker 2: I mean, an actual Christian martyr in our time. It's
- 9:32Speaker 2: not something that it's happening overseas. We've talked about that already.
- 9:37Speaker 2: It's happening in Africa, multiple places in Africa, and it's
- 9:40Speaker 2: horrible but on us soil for us to see an
- 9:44Speaker 2: actual Christian martyr assassinated. I know some people aren't even
- 9:49Speaker 2: comfortable with that, but we have a problem where we
- 9:51Speaker 2: make things about politics when they don't need to be
- 9:55Speaker 2: about politics. Yes, he addressed political issues and he talked
- 9:59Speaker 2: with people about political things. But part of the Charlie
- 10:02Speaker 2: Kirk message was going to these colleges and saying, look,
- 10:04Speaker 2: you're being exposed to this by professors. I want to
- 10:06Speaker 2: give you an opportunity to talk to me about these
- 10:10Speaker 2: ideas that they're telling you, because you don't really get
- 10:13Speaker 2: many opportunities to stand up to them in class. Anyway.
- 10:17Speaker 2: I say all that to say that when you say
- 10:19Speaker 2: that there's someone who's in charge of a school board
- 10:22Speaker 2: who's come into the country illegally, been granted a driver's
- 10:27Speaker 2: license in Maryland or wherever, probably also in Iowa, I
- 10:30Speaker 2: guess if that's where he was living, and then given
- 10:33Speaker 2: the right to vote something that is not allowed for
- 10:38Speaker 2: someone who isn't illegal citizen. Now, we have some cities
- 10:42Speaker 2: and we have some areas that say, well, they should
- 10:45Speaker 2: be able to vote specifically for the area where they live,
- 10:50Speaker 2: even if they're illegal, which of course is canceling out
- 10:55Speaker 2: votes of people who are actual taxpayers who live there
- 10:58Speaker 2: and are you know, actual citizens. So it's pushing down there.
- 11:04Speaker 2: It's one of the things people criticized Charlie Kirk for
- 11:08Speaker 2: as they say, well, he embraced this idea of replacement theory,
- 11:12Speaker 2: and you know the great myth of replacement theory, the
- 11:14Speaker 2: conspiracy theory. But this is that's exactly what that is.
- 11:18Speaker 2: And if you talk start really diving into this idea
- 11:21Speaker 2: in this notion of a city or a state, anybody
- 11:26Speaker 2: that's going to be a sanctuary area for people who
- 11:30Speaker 2: are illegal, but grant the people they're the right to vote,
- 11:34Speaker 2: and say, well, we're just giving them to right to
- 11:36Speaker 2: vote on local issues. They should have that, but you
- 11:40Speaker 2: know what that means, they're eventually going to have the
- 11:41Speaker 2: right to vote. And I don't know if that was
- 11:43Speaker 2: the case with this gentleman ian Andre Roberts, who by
- 11:47Speaker 2: the way, did in fact have some criminal charges against
- 11:55Speaker 2: him and he was you know, taken into custody. But
- 11:59Speaker 2: this this is someone who had gun charges against him.
- 12:03Speaker 2: He was arrested by ice. I guess this was last week.
- 12:07Speaker 2: A fugitive warrant superintendent of public Schools in Des Moines
- 12:11Speaker 2: illegal weapons possession charges and he had a final order
- 12:15Speaker 2: of removal file against him. So basically, that's when the
- 12:21Speaker 2: Maryland Freedom Caucus came in and said, wait a minute,
- 12:24Speaker 2: he's got an active voter registration in Maryland, a registered Democrat. Shocker.
- 12:29Speaker 2: That happens about eighty percent of the time, by the way,
- 12:31Speaker 2: with illegals once they get the chance to vote. So
- 12:36Speaker 2: and I guess this all comes from this idea of
- 12:39Speaker 2: being able to get a driver's license, because there are
- 12:43Speaker 2: places that will tell you that we want to give
- 12:48Speaker 2: people the opportunity to get a driver's license. We want
- 12:50Speaker 2: to give him the opportunity to do that. And when
- 12:53Speaker 2: they get the driver's license, sometimes that driver's license then
- 12:57Speaker 2: puts them in a position, or at least a better
- 12:59Speaker 2: position to apply for the opportunity to register to vote.
- 13:04Speaker 2: So basically, and this comes from the person in charge.
- 13:12Speaker 2: This is from Jared D. Marinus, Maryland State Board of
- 13:19Speaker 2: CKX Elections administrator, and basically points out that it's not
- 13:23Speaker 2: a crime to unintentionally register to vote despite not being eligible.
- 13:27Speaker 2: So the idea is that this is someone who said
- 13:30Speaker 2: I want a driver's license, and then in getting the
- 13:34Speaker 2: driver's license, gets asked if they want to register to vote.
- 13:36Speaker 2: I guess he said yes, and then that gave him
- 13:39Speaker 2: the chance. So they're saying it's not illegal to register
- 13:42Speaker 2: to vote and pick a party. I guess that's the
- 13:47Speaker 2: other part that's strange about this to me. De Marinus
- 13:50Speaker 2: saying the right to vote is a sacred right that
- 13:54Speaker 2: has been expanded through sacrifices of many before us, and
- 13:57Speaker 2: this office will not disenfranchise a voter based upon partial
- 14:00Speaker 2: or unsubstantiated evidence. So how how do you hire this person?
- 14:08Speaker 2: How do they get the opportunity to work on your
- 14:11Speaker 2: school board? How are they not being vetted? Are we
- 14:14Speaker 2: not going through any of the resumes or we not
- 14:17Speaker 2: actually vetting someone to say, yeah, you're going to be
- 14:20Speaker 2: working with our kids. You're going to be supervising our teachers,
- 14:24Speaker 2: supervising the message that's going out. But you know, we
- 14:29Speaker 2: don't even need a resume, You don't even need that.
- 14:32Speaker 2: We just we like the look of you, we like
- 14:33Speaker 2: the way you speak. We had a good interview. We
- 14:37Speaker 2: don't need to dig into any of that other stuff. No,
- 14:38Speaker 2: I don't worry about the way any weapons charges don't
- 14:41Speaker 2: worry about any of that stuff. We're just gonna hire you.
- 14:44Speaker 2: We're going to hire you on the spot because we
- 14:45Speaker 2: just like you. We think you've got good plans for
- 14:50Speaker 2: our school district here in Des Moines. Today's show brought
- 14:52Speaker 2: to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center,

- 15:49Speaker 2: those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
- 15:52Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean
- 15:55Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
- 16:01Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
- 16:04Speaker 2: Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome.

- 16:45Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
- 16:48Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
- 16:54Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
- 16:58Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
- 17:02Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
- 17:05Speaker 2: square and that away for you, and while they're there,
- 17:07Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
- 17:09Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 17:13Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 17:16Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 17:19Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 17:21Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 17:25Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
- 17:28Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 17:32Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 17:35Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 17:38Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 17:41Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 17:44Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 17:47Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 17:49Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
- 17:52Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 17:53Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 17:56Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 17:59Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 18:02Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open, and
- 18:05Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
- 18:08Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,
- 18:11Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O
- 18:14Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show right after
- 18:19Speaker 2: the break, Well, imagine a community of older single women
- 18:31Speaker 2: who live in their own homes and support one another
- 18:34Speaker 2: as the age Well, imagine no more. It's a real thing.
- 18:39Speaker 2: It's called The Bird's Nest, a unique all women tiny
- 18:42Speaker 2: home community in Combe, Texas, and it was founded by
- 18:47Speaker 2: seventy year old woman named Robin, who invested one hundred
- 18:50Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars from her retirement savings to create
- 18:53Speaker 2: a safe, affordable, and supportive living space for women over
- 18:58Speaker 2: the age of sixty. It's bill on five acres zoned
- 19:01Speaker 2: as an RV park. The community features fourteen tiny homes,
- 19:05Speaker 2: eleven currently occupied, with the rent starting at four hundred
- 19:09Speaker 2: and fifty dollars a month. It's designed for women who
- 19:11Speaker 2: are single, divorced, or widowed, offering not just housing but
- 19:15Speaker 2: a sense of family and emotional support. Residents enjoy communal
- 19:19Speaker 2: activities like morning coffee, gardening, and evening check ins, and
- 19:24Speaker 2: they help each other with daily needs and care. The
- 19:26Speaker 2: community has gained viral attention, receiving over five hundred applications.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Robin hopes her model can inspire similar projects elsewhere. It's
- 19:35Speaker 2: like the Golden Girls with tiny houses, and there's just
- 19:40Speaker 2: a lot more than four right eleven occupied. These women
- 19:44Speaker 2: look after each other, help take care of each other.
- 19:47Speaker 2: I like it. This is a great idea. We need
- 19:49Speaker 2: more of this all over the country, not just in Comby,
- 19:52Speaker 2: Texas well. Do you ever feel like you just need
- 19:54Speaker 2: a day to disappear from responsibilities and recharge. That's the
- 19:58Speaker 2: idea behind what they call in vis day, a self
- 20:02Speaker 2: care concept where you intentionally clear your schedule, unplug your phone,
- 20:06Speaker 2: news obligations, and give yourself permission to do nothing productive.
- 20:11Speaker 2: Invisible days are a way to combat burnout and anxiety
- 20:15Speaker 2: by creating space for rest without the guilt. Not about
- 20:21Speaker 2: being lazy. It's about recognizing that constant productivity isn't sustainable
- 20:26Speaker 2: or even saying the word sustainable. People who have tried
- 20:29Speaker 2: say it helps them to reset mentally and emotionally, especially
- 20:33Speaker 2: when life feels overwhelming. Whether it's lounging in pajamas, binge
- 20:37Speaker 2: watching comfort shows, or just sitting in silence. The point
- 20:41Speaker 2: is to be invisible to the outside world for a
- 20:43Speaker 2: bit and visible only to your self. I think introverts
- 20:50Speaker 2: all get it. I don't know that extroverts do, but
- 20:53Speaker 2: introverts are all going, yeah, yeah, that right there, done
- 20:57Speaker 2: that or need to do that. But I think that's
- 21:00Speaker 2: probably a safe bet. This is something that was definitely
- 21:05Speaker 2: invented by introverts. Researchers in Australia have tested different materials
- 21:11Speaker 2: to figure out which would be the best wetsuit to
- 21:14Speaker 2: wear during a shark attack, and they found certain bite
- 21:18Speaker 2: resistant fabric woven into wetsuits can reduce damage from large
- 21:22Speaker 2: white and tiger sharks up to ten feet long compared
- 21:26Speaker 2: to just traditional wetsuits. While there's no perfect solution, the
- 21:30Speaker 2: special fabric reduces cuts and bleeding, even though a solid
- 21:34Speaker 2: chomp from a shark could still crush bones and internal organs. So,
- 21:40Speaker 2: you know, I would think this is something that should
- 21:46Speaker 2: move forward. Right. This is like the batsuit in the
- 21:49Speaker 2: Chris Nolan Batman movies, where you start going, how does
- 21:52Speaker 2: it do against cats? How does it do against dogs?
- 21:55Speaker 2: You know, it was a catwoman joke that was built
- 21:57Speaker 2: into that, and knives and guns. I would think this
- 22:00Speaker 2: could be good, especially if you're talking about someone who
- 22:03Speaker 2: is going to be diving in shark infested waters. Buzzballs
- 22:09Speaker 2: has released a kettlebell that you can drink from celebrate
- 22:13Speaker 2: their new eighties inspired Grapes Gone Wild. The company has
- 22:16Speaker 2: launched a five pound kettlebells that holds one point five
- 22:19Speaker 2: liters of cocktail and comes with matching sweatbands, wristbands, and
- 22:24Speaker 2: a cooling towel. I mean, I'm guessing when they talk
- 22:30Speaker 2: about cocktail, it doesn't sound like it's productive for while
- 22:33Speaker 2: you're trying to lift weights. If it's hydrating you, that
- 22:37Speaker 2: seems productive. If it's water or even gatorade or power aid.
- 22:41Speaker 2: But come on. Over the past few years, more and
- 22:44Speaker 2: more people have been ditching their smartphones and choosing to
- 22:46Speaker 2: carry around simpler gadgets dumb phones, if you will. The
- 22:51Speaker 2: trend has continued. Companies have responded by creating better devices
- 22:55Speaker 2: with higher prices. The new wave of dumb phones that
- 22:58Speaker 2: are stripped down but seen as increasingly solid and safe
- 23:02Speaker 2: and operate high speed components. So if you're looking to
- 23:08Speaker 2: downgrade and go to the dumb phone, I guess there's
- 23:12Speaker 2: better options, is what we're saying. That'll do it for
- 23:15Speaker 2: this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors
- 23:17Speaker 2: and patrons. Thanks for listening. I'll catch you back here
