Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The news opinions commentary and interviews you need to start
- 0:06Speaker 1: your day you're listening to the west carol morning.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Show wednesday morning fifth day of november i'm west thanks
- 0:16Speaker 2: for joining me you take the uh being uh sick
- 0:23Speaker 2: and you take the late night and early morning and
- 0:26Speaker 2: factor it all in and i sound uh extra crunchy
- 0:32Speaker 2: this morning, I think. But anyway, here we are on
- 0:35Speaker 2: the other side of Election Day. Midterm Day has come
- 0:38Speaker 2: and gone, and folks on the right are going to
- 0:43Speaker 2: be feeling it for a while. I think the country's
- 0:45Speaker 2: going to be feeling it for a while. But for
- 0:48Speaker 2: the moment, at least, the blue wave has happened, and
- 0:52Speaker 2: Democrats can spike the football and be excited about it.
- 0:57Speaker 2: I think that a message was sent to a message
- 1:02Speaker 2: should be received and future presidencies at the very least
- 1:08Speaker 2: should know moving forward that if you're going to start
- 1:12Speaker 2: a war in Iran, maybe wait until after the midterms
- 1:16Speaker 2: to do it. I mean, I think that's probably the
- 1:19Speaker 2: biggest message. Now, does it mean it would have definitely
- 1:25Speaker 2: been a win for Republicans yesterday? if that had happened, well, no,
- 1:31Speaker 2: there would have been something. There would have been something else.
- 1:34Speaker 2: But I do think that the impact of the war
- 1:38Speaker 2: is something that played heavily into the strategy for Democrats.
- 1:45Speaker 2: And we're just talking about gas prices. We're talking about
- 1:51Speaker 2: at least the current economic situation that played out because
- 1:57Speaker 2: of it. And, you know, there will be questions about tariffs.
- 2:00Speaker 2: There'll be questions about this war. There'll be questions for
- 2:04Speaker 2: what all this means for Democrats moving forward and what
- 2:08Speaker 2: it means for 2028 as this election is being called,
- 2:14Speaker 2: a strong message being sent about the end of the
- 2:19Speaker 2: Trump era and that it's time to move away. I
- 2:25Speaker 2: do think that there were, and there are, a number
- 2:28Speaker 2: of things that have been going on behind the scenes
- 2:32Speaker 2: from at least a world political strategy, a geopolitical strategy
- 2:39Speaker 2: that the Trump administration has been carrying out, that I
- 2:42Speaker 2: do think that if people had been more patient with
- 2:45Speaker 2: it and it had not had a direct economic impact,
- 2:51Speaker 2: I do think that maybe... Given some time, I think
- 2:55Speaker 2: people might have had the opportunity to say, ah, now
- 2:59Speaker 2: we can kind of see where all this was going.
- 3:01Speaker 2: But the messaging wasn't there, and the message was loud
- 3:07Speaker 2: and clear. Power at any cost. We will elect anyone.
- 3:10Speaker 2: That's what Democrats decided, and that includes a guy who
- 3:18Speaker 2: in Michigan is– I don't know how you just look
- 3:24Speaker 2: past ties to Muslim Brotherhood, conversations about Muslim Brotherhood, connections
- 3:31Speaker 2: with Hassan Piker, who this is a big win for
- 3:34Speaker 2: Hassan Piker, who is someone who we didn't, you know,
- 3:39Speaker 2: most people didn't know who that was. I think a
- 3:42Speaker 2: lot of Americans still don't. But people that are following
- 3:45Speaker 2: politics and following things certainly will now be much more
- 3:50Speaker 2: aware of him. Don't expect him to just go away.
- 3:52Speaker 2: This isn't a case where it's going to be like, hey,
- 3:55Speaker 2: they won, mission accomplished, now I can go hide back
- 3:59Speaker 2: in the shadows with the roaches again. No, this guy
- 4:02Speaker 2: is definitely going to be someone that they will be
- 4:05Speaker 2: leaning on a lot more moving forward because it worked.
- 4:11Speaker 2: It worked, and the messaging was there, and Republicans didn't
- 4:15Speaker 2: get the message out I think enough that things are
- 4:21Speaker 2: more under control than what the perception was. So I
- 4:27Speaker 2: think that's what Republicans failed on. And in a lot
- 4:30Speaker 2: of ways, I don't know if waiting on the Iran
- 4:35Speaker 2: war was even a viable strategy for what they were
- 4:39Speaker 2: trying to do in the long term when it came
- 4:42Speaker 2: to fuel and resources and things. You know, squeezing energy
- 4:50Speaker 2: away from China was certainly something that was going on,
- 4:54Speaker 2: that was at play. And we've seen a number of
- 4:57Speaker 2: different things that were taking place to do that. Things
- 5:00Speaker 2: that will benefit the world long term, assuming that they're
- 5:05Speaker 2: not all blown up now when it comes to where
- 5:08Speaker 2: strategies go moving forward. But, you know... economically, we're not
- 5:18Speaker 2: exactly where I thought we would be. Uh, things started
- 5:21Speaker 2: to kind of level out in the last few weeks
- 5:23Speaker 2: when it came to things like gas prices. But, um,
- 5:27Speaker 2: I think that that is probably the biggest miss for Republicans,
- 5:32Speaker 2: all this, but again, we are not, we can't sit
- 5:37Speaker 2: here now and Wednesday morning quarterback election day and say, well, uh,
- 5:42Speaker 2: Democrats wouldn't have had anything to complain about. Because they would.
- 5:46Speaker 2: And economically, what's been going on for the past two years,
- 5:50Speaker 2: if you look back to what took place during the
- 5:53Speaker 2: four years of the Biden administration, how you can even
- 5:57Speaker 2: say that what we were doing during that four years
- 6:04Speaker 2: was not atrocious and significantly worse than what's happened in
- 6:10Speaker 2: the last two years from an economic standpoint. The reality
- 6:14Speaker 2: here is 2020 was a year that we are still
- 6:20Speaker 2: continuing to try to recover from in a lot of ways.
- 6:24Speaker 2: And now that we are going to see a new
- 6:26Speaker 2: Speaker of the House, we're going to see a new
- 6:29Speaker 2: Majority Leader, things are ready for some change in what
- 6:34Speaker 2: this means when it comes to threats of impeachment and
- 6:41Speaker 2: now that Trump's hands will be tied in a lot
- 6:43Speaker 2: of ways. He is already talking about the power of
- 6:46Speaker 2: the veto. So this will be an interesting two years
- 6:51Speaker 2: of probably not a lot being able to get changed
- 6:53Speaker 2: and done. And let's just not forget the fact that
- 6:58Speaker 2: Iran wanted to keep this war going long enough to
- 7:01Speaker 2: see these sorts of changes take place. They wanted to
- 7:04Speaker 2: see Trump lose uh, yesterday and that's where they want
- 7:08Speaker 2: it to be. So this is a win for Iran.
- 7:11Speaker 2: This is a win for them. Uh, so congratulations. If
- 7:15Speaker 2: that's what you wanted, if that was your goal, uh,
- 7:18Speaker 2: if you voted, uh, blue all the way down the line,
- 7:22Speaker 2: which is apparently what happened in a lot of counties
- 7:25Speaker 2: in Georgia. Uh, we will now see the very, um, uh,
- 7:34Speaker 2: we're going to see a new governor. a historic moment
- 7:37Speaker 2: for the state of Georgia, certainly, but this is one
- 7:41Speaker 2: of those cases where, you know, someone who was not
- 7:47Speaker 2: a great, someone who wasn't even a good mayor of
- 7:50Speaker 2: Atlanta will now be basically giving the keys to the
- 7:54Speaker 2: whole state. Not really sure what people were thinking there
- 7:58Speaker 2: other than, hey, we grr, we hate Trump, and we're
- 8:02Speaker 2: just going to show up and vote straight down the ticket.
- 8:07Speaker 2: When you saw the Labor and Agriculture Commissioner, some of these,
- 8:11Speaker 2: Agriculture Commissioner especially was one where Tyler Harper's done a
- 8:15Speaker 2: great job. You just kind of look at it and
- 8:20Speaker 2: you go, wait a minute, he didn't even win? So
- 8:22Speaker 2: the farmers around the state are going to lose some
- 8:27Speaker 2: of their backing and support. You know, overall, It's surprising
- 8:36Speaker 2: to me, I think, the fact that it was just
- 8:40Speaker 2: all the way down the ticket. Did it surprise me
- 8:43Speaker 2: that Keisha Lance Bottoms is going to be governor? Not necessarily.
- 8:46Speaker 2: There was a point where it started to look like
- 8:48Speaker 2: this is going to be close. And then it definitely
- 8:51Speaker 2: seemed to pull away as the numbers were starting to
- 8:54Speaker 2: come in on the early voting. And, you know, that's
- 8:59Speaker 2: one of those things that happens in a midterm election.
- 9:05Speaker 2: It happens. You get a new president, and then the midterm,
- 9:10Speaker 2: you know that they basically have two years to get
- 9:12Speaker 2: things done, and the Trump administration set their list of
- 9:17Speaker 2: things that they wanted to get done. I don't think
- 9:20Speaker 2: they should all be thrown out. I don't think anything
- 9:22Speaker 2: about the last two years was necessarily a bad thing.
- 9:26Speaker 2: The question is, that will be asked and will continue
- 9:30Speaker 2: to be asked is the timing of, of the, the
- 9:33Speaker 2: attack and the war ultimately in Iran. And if that
- 9:37Speaker 2: could have waited and if it could have waited until after,
- 9:41Speaker 2: like if it could have started today, if Republicans had
- 9:45Speaker 2: been able to hang on or at least hang on
- 9:47Speaker 2: to a number of seats, uh, that would have been, um,
- 9:51Speaker 2: certainly something that, uh, would have been interesting for the,
- 9:57Speaker 2: alternate history people, because that'll be a question that will
- 10:01Speaker 2: be asked and will be looked at, I think, in
- 10:04Speaker 2: a lot of ways, maybe in the history books. I
- 10:07Speaker 2: don't know where this all goes, but the reality here
- 10:12Speaker 2: is it's happened a and the messaging for the left
- 10:18Speaker 2: of center Democrats, I wonder if buyer's remorse is coming.
- 10:25Speaker 2: I do feel like what I told you in the
- 10:29Speaker 2: days leading up to election day is that we can
- 10:32Speaker 2: expect to start to see the DSA-backed candidates and the
- 10:37Speaker 2: DSA in general start throwing the word communism around. I
- 10:41Speaker 2: think that I just think it's hard to take something
- 10:46Speaker 2: like that and hold it in after you win. Because
- 10:51Speaker 2: I think anybody paying attention was aware of what Democratic
- 10:57Speaker 2: Socialists of America is about and what they stand for.
- 10:59Speaker 2: I do think that that's the case. And I think
- 11:04Speaker 2: that it's kind of hard to hold it. It's like
- 11:05Speaker 2: keeping a secret. How long can you keep a secret
- 11:09Speaker 2: when you know what you really are. And that's, they're communists.
- 11:13Speaker 2: And it's the message that they really have been sharing
- 11:18Speaker 2: without using the word. I think the word's coming. And
- 11:21Speaker 2: I don't know what that's going to do long term.
- 11:24Speaker 2: I would like to think that that's going to create
- 11:26Speaker 2: the buyer's remorse as the party has now officially moved
- 11:31Speaker 2: very far to the left and has supported people and
- 11:36Speaker 2: gotten support from people who think that you know, Israel
- 11:42Speaker 2: is evil. Some of that has spilled over into anyone
- 11:46Speaker 2: who's Jewish is evil and bad, which baffles me. I
- 11:52Speaker 2: don't understand. I don't understand any of our longtime Democrat
- 12:00Speaker 2: Jewish citizens who decided to vote for those candidates because
- 12:04Speaker 2: they just feel like giving power to a party is
- 12:08Speaker 2: more important than then what the party is saying and
- 12:12Speaker 2: then what the messaging is, that's the concern. And it
- 12:15Speaker 2: should be the concern. If you're willing to vote for
- 12:18Speaker 2: just anyone for the sake of power, and you're willing
- 12:23Speaker 2: to be that pawn for a party, and I use
- 12:26Speaker 2: that term a lot because they're willing to sacrifice you.
- 12:31Speaker 2: We've seen this. They don't care. And I'm not talking
- 12:36Speaker 2: about the left of center people. I'm talking about the
- 12:39Speaker 2: people that are now running the party on the extreme
- 12:42Speaker 2: far left. They won't care. It's about pawns and they'll
- 12:46Speaker 2: be willing to use you as a pawn, as a
- 12:49Speaker 2: voter for whatever they need, whatever it is. They don't
- 12:54Speaker 2: look at someone who is killed in a situation and say,
- 13:03Speaker 2: let's take time to mourn this person that was lost.
- 13:05Speaker 2: They pounce on, well, someone died, so we're going to
- 13:09Speaker 2: use this for a political advantage. And I'm talking about
- 13:11Speaker 2: people that are willing to stand in front of a
- 13:13Speaker 2: car as a federal agent is trying to carry out
- 13:17Speaker 2: their job or a person who's fumbling around for something
- 13:21Speaker 2: as they're trying to stand up to federal authorities and
- 13:25Speaker 2: they're fumbling around for something in their pocket and being
- 13:29Speaker 2: told to stop and then they get shot, you know.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Where is the time to mourn? Where is the time
- 13:36Speaker 2: to say this person was a human being rather than
- 13:41Speaker 2: just painting this picture of who they were for the
- 13:44Speaker 2: sake of political advantage? And when all that plays out
- 13:50Speaker 2: and an election goes the way this one went, you
- 13:53Speaker 2: just think, well, treating them like pawns and treating people who,
- 14:00Speaker 2: like I said, left of center, longtime Democrats who don't
- 14:04Speaker 2: recognize the party anymore and still showed up and voted
- 14:07Speaker 2: Democrat yesterday or in the early voting. I think the
- 14:12Speaker 2: buyer's remorse is coming. I have to believe it's coming
- 14:16Speaker 2: for many of them, but maybe it's not. I mean,
- 14:20Speaker 2: this idea that we now control, they now control the youth,
- 14:25Speaker 2: I'm speaking kind of as them, but if they feel
- 14:27Speaker 2: like they control the free Palestine youth and they control
- 14:31Speaker 2: the the I'm going to pop some tags crowd, if
- 14:37Speaker 2: they feel like that that is where the future stands
- 14:43Speaker 2: for them and that's where it's going to go, just
- 14:47Speaker 2: in the name of and for the sake of standing
- 14:51Speaker 2: up to Trump and not realizing that when you get
- 14:56Speaker 2: to the elections like in Georgia where We've just basically
- 15:02Speaker 2: sent a resounding message of things have been going really
- 15:07Speaker 2: well in Georgia. Things have gone very well in Georgia.
- 15:11Speaker 2: And rather than sticking with the party who's kept it
- 15:15Speaker 2: going really well in Georgia, the message is we need
- 15:18Speaker 2: to do something different. Everything's going so well. Let's do
- 15:22Speaker 2: something different. Let's just go different. Let's go for the
- 15:26Speaker 2: Atlanta mayor who let the city burn. Let's go for that.
- 15:32Speaker 2: That seems like a good new strategy for the state
- 15:36Speaker 2: of Georgia. What does all this mean for the next
- 15:39Speaker 2: two years? Well, it means things are going to come
- 15:41Speaker 2: to a grinding halt in a lot of ways. We
- 15:44Speaker 2: can pray for it to be different. We can pray
- 15:47Speaker 2: for there to be some sort of, let's reach across
- 15:50Speaker 2: the aisle and work together. But I think the message
- 15:52Speaker 2: yesterday was that that's not where it's going to go
- 15:55Speaker 2: because the candidates weren't candidates that are going to be
- 15:58Speaker 2: people who are going to reach across the aisle in
- 16:00Speaker 2: many cases. The candidates were people who are there to
- 16:04Speaker 2: send a message, message sent, message received, and get ready
- 16:10Speaker 2: for things to really come to a grinding halt over
- 16:14Speaker 2: the next two years as the reality kicks in that
- 16:17Speaker 2: this midterm midtermed, that's what it does. That's the way
- 16:21Speaker 2: it goes. There's nothing I mean, people can call it historic,
- 16:25Speaker 2: but this is the trend. This is the way things
- 16:27Speaker 2: tend to go. And as always, we have to continue
- 16:32Speaker 2: to pray for the country. Today's show brought to you
- 16:34Speaker 2: by Columbus State University's Coca-Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and
- 16:39Speaker 2: educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career
- 16:45Speaker 2: holders today. that really of all ages. I mean, they
- 16:48Speaker 2: do it for school-age kids as school-age kids visit the
- 16:52Speaker 2: Coca-Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through
- 16:55Speaker 2: their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
- 17:00Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
- 17:05Speaker 2: right now. And you can learn more about maybe getting
- 17:08Speaker 2: your degree on their website, ccssc.org. While you're there, Also
- 17:16Speaker 2: check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this
- 17:18Speaker 2: incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School of
- 17:23Speaker 2: Music from Columbus State University called Music Under the Dome.
- 17:26Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
- 17:31Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
- 17:33Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia?
- 17:37Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
- 17:42Speaker 2: right here in Columbus and Inside the planetarium at the
- 17:46Speaker 2: Coca-Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
- 17:49Speaker 2: Under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows
- 17:54Speaker 2: and also check out when the next astronomy night's coming
- 17:57Speaker 2: up where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it
- 18:00Speaker 2: at the Coca-Cola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get somewhere
- 18:04Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
- 18:06Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming astronomy night
- 18:09Speaker 2: events also on their website. It's CCSSC.org. As Sean Cruzan says, CharlieCharlieSamSamCharlie.org.
- 18:18Speaker 2: I just remind you that it stands for Coca-Cola Space
- 18:22Speaker 2: Science Center, CCSSC.org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
- 18:27Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial...
- 18:32Speaker 2: or residential, maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for.
- 18:37Speaker 2: It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has
- 18:40Speaker 2: parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead
- 18:44Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that
- 18:47Speaker 2: away for you. And while they're there, you can always
- 18:50Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
- 18:53Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
- 18:56Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
- 18:59Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
- 19:01Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
- 19:05Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
- 19:09Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
- 19:11Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
- 19:15Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
- 19:18Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
- 19:21Speaker 2: door system. that you can put down and you can
- 19:23Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor,
- 19:28Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
- 19:30Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 19:32Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
- 19:34Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
- 19:37Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
- 19:39Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
- 19:42Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
- 19:45Speaker 2: your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
- 19:48Speaker 2: come help. And they do that. as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.
- 19:52Speaker 2: More West Carroll Morning Show right after the break. Well,
- 20:10Speaker 2: this blue wave wasn't the only change you can expect
- 20:14Speaker 2: around the country, as it seems that according to a
- 20:20Speaker 2: New Talkers research survey, many Americans are getting bored and
- 20:26Speaker 2: tired of the same old holiday traditions and plan to
- 20:29Speaker 2: shake things up this year. About 44%, according to the survey,
- 20:32Speaker 2: found that usual celebrations are starting to feel tired. Two-thirds
- 20:39Speaker 2: are secretly planning some kind of a holiday twist. That
- 20:42Speaker 2: could mean serving a completely different menu, decorating in a
- 20:46Speaker 2: new style, even celebrating somewhere new. Just a brand new
- 20:50Speaker 2: place to go and celebrate all together. Another trend, people
- 20:54Speaker 2: want their house to be the place this holiday season,
- 20:59Speaker 2: and nearly two-thirds of people said their home becomes a
- 21:01Speaker 2: gathering spot for friends and family. and many are thinking
- 21:05Speaker 2: of taking the party outdoors. About a third plan to
- 21:08Speaker 2: host an outdoor holiday celebration this year after spending an
- 21:13Speaker 2: average of nine hours cleaning, cooking, and decorating before guests arrive.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Hosts have one simple holiday wish that everyone notices the effort. Yeah,
- 21:23Speaker 2: and I would hope, too, that the people who don't
- 21:26Speaker 2: get the hint that it's time to leave can get
- 21:27Speaker 2: the hint that it's time to leave when the party
- 21:30Speaker 2: is over. That's always the challenge, I feel like, in
- 21:33Speaker 2: the holidays. You can have a party for a birthday.
- 21:37Speaker 2: You can have a party for a celebration of, oh,
- 21:43Speaker 2: so-and-so got a raise, and we're going to have a
- 21:45Speaker 2: party for a promotion. Maybe not a raise, but a promotion.
- 21:49Speaker 2: You have those parties, and you go, we're going to
- 21:50Speaker 2: have a promotion for a graduation party. And I think
- 21:53Speaker 2: those people understand. You're there. The party may, even in
- 21:59Speaker 2: the invitation, it may say, that this is when the
- 22:03Speaker 2: party starts and this is when the party ends and
- 22:06Speaker 2: that kind of thing. I feel like with holiday parties,
- 22:09Speaker 2: those are the ones that people just kind of settle in.
- 22:14Speaker 2: They don't really understand that this party doesn't necessarily, it
- 22:19Speaker 2: can be a holiday party and it can be, you know,
- 22:23Speaker 2: like a week before Christmas, but it doesn't mean that
- 22:26Speaker 2: the party lasts until Christmas. So maybe if people understood
- 22:32Speaker 2: that better, I think more people would maybe be open
- 22:36Speaker 2: to the idea of hosting the holiday party. But it
- 22:38Speaker 2: seems that people are. So they're going to have to
- 22:41Speaker 2: set the boundaries, I guess, themselves. Turkey hotlines are officially open.
- 22:47Speaker 2: Speaking of holiday parties, it sounds like I'm talking about
- 22:50Speaker 2: personal experiences. The Turkey hotline is open for Butterball and Genio.
- 22:58Speaker 2: I always want to say Genio, and it may be Genio,
- 23:01Speaker 2: but it's spelled Genio, isn't it? But the hotlines are open,
- 23:05Speaker 2: so as you get closer to buying your turkey, I
- 23:10Speaker 2: noticed over the weekend while I was doing some shopping,
- 23:13Speaker 2: a lot of turkeys in shopping carts. I saw those.
- 23:17Speaker 2: So here we go. They're ready to tell you basically
- 23:23Speaker 2: when to get your turkey, how big your turkey should be,
- 23:27Speaker 2: how to cook it, brining it, what to do with
- 23:29Speaker 2: leftovers safely and all that, they're ready. So just know
- 23:32Speaker 2: you can contact them if you don't have YouTube. I
- 23:36Speaker 2: like that they talk about it like you call the hotline.
- 23:41Speaker 2: YouTube will tell you stuff. YouTube will tell you how
- 23:44Speaker 2: to cook a turkey under the hood of the car.
- 23:51Speaker 2: I'm sure there's a way to do that. You could
- 23:53Speaker 2: drive around. You could drive to your holiday destination while
- 23:58Speaker 2: cooking the turkey sitting on the engine. There's people that
- 24:01Speaker 2: they cook fish. If you're willing to cook fish and
- 24:05Speaker 2: eat it, I think you could cook a turkey. Not
- 24:06Speaker 2: a whole turkey, but you could cook some turkey and
- 24:08Speaker 2: do that. Here's something that's interesting. Maybe it's surprising to you,
- 24:15Speaker 2: but apparently there may be a biological advantage for women
- 24:22Speaker 2: when it comes to tasting whiskey. Yeah, they may be
- 24:27Speaker 2: better bourbon tasters because apparently women tend to have a
- 24:33Speaker 2: stronger sense of smell. And that's a big part in
- 24:37Speaker 2: identifying all those flavor notes that bourbon fans talk about. Vanilla, cinnamon, smoke, leather,
- 24:43Speaker 2: dark fruit. Some researchers have even found that women have
- 24:47Speaker 2: significantly more neurons in the parts of the brain linked
- 24:51Speaker 2: to smell. So Bourbon experts say that's one reason women
- 24:55Speaker 2: have long played a major role in tasting quality control
- 24:58Speaker 2: panels at the Kentucky distilleries. It's interesting. It may also
- 25:05Speaker 2: be why when my wife takes a sip at one
- 25:09Speaker 2: of my new whiskeys, and she's got a very definitive, like,
- 25:14Speaker 2: it's either good or it's bad. There's no, you know,
- 25:18Speaker 2: it's just, this is either good or it's bad, and
- 25:21Speaker 2: that's that. And then I'm sitting there thinking, well, this
- 25:23Speaker 2: is what I spent on this bottle, so I'm going
- 25:26Speaker 2: to drink it. It may take me a while, but
- 25:29Speaker 2: I'm going to drink it, even if it's not one
- 25:31Speaker 2: that I absolutely love. All right, that'll do it for
- 25:35Speaker 2: this Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors
- 25:39Speaker 2: and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back
- 25:43Speaker 2: here tomorrow morning.
