Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start

Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:11
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, first day of July. I am Wes. Thanks
0:17
Speaker 2: for joining me. It's just a couple of days away
0:21
Speaker 2: from the big day, you know, the one I'm talking about,
0:26
Speaker 2: the one everybody's talking about. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's
0:33
Speaker 2: wedding rumored wedding. Have they even confirmed? We know yet.
0:37
Speaker 2: We know all the signs pointing to it, and people
0:40
Speaker 2: have shown up and shown off their non disclosure agreements.
0:47
Speaker 2: So I don't think it's a surprise anymore. I think
0:49
Speaker 2: they wanted it to be a surprise at some I
0:51
Speaker 2: don't know. You show up at the Knicks games and
0:53
Speaker 2: you cheer, and you know, you jump around on the bandwagons.
0:58
Speaker 2: I don't think she was dating any Knicks players, but
1:00
Speaker 2: you know, she went from hey boy, I love them
1:02
Speaker 2: Chiefs and now I love them Nicks and I know
1:05
Speaker 2: they say she's got an apartment in New York and whatever,
1:08
Speaker 2: you know, whatever you know, I'm an advocate for you.
1:12
Speaker 2: You live your best life. You go out there and
1:13
Speaker 2: live it. I'm just not a big fan of people
1:16
Speaker 2: just you know, jumping on those bandwagons and sports. Stick
1:19
Speaker 2: with your team. I don't know if she has one.
1:22
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe that's her team. That's fine, whatever.
1:26
Speaker 2: I have more concerns about a few things, and I
1:29
Speaker 2: know in the great scheme of things, we got more
1:32
Speaker 2: stuff to worry about in the world in this wedding.
1:34
Speaker 2: But we'll get to the wedding in just a second. First,
1:38
Speaker 2: I just want to mention it's July, and that means
1:42
Speaker 2: we're now just a couple of months away from Dragon
1:44
Speaker 2: Con Labor Day weekend downtown Atlanta. It is in a
1:50
Speaker 2: series of hotels different than other conventions because while there
1:56
Speaker 2: is a convention center that the America's mart in Atlanta,
2:01
Speaker 2: that is the host for the vendors and things they're
2:04
Speaker 2: at the convention, the convention itself largely just takes place
2:09
Speaker 2: in these four star hotels. There's about five or six
2:13
Speaker 2: of them now. I don't know they've rolled over into
2:15
Speaker 2: extra hotels. I think it's primarily five main hotels with
2:19
Speaker 2: a lot of things taking place at the Marriott, Marquee,
2:22
Speaker 2: the the Hyatt Regency, and then what are the other three?
2:28
Speaker 2: They A couple of them have changed names. Now because
2:30
Speaker 2: at my my default goes straight to, you know, the Sheraton,
2:36
Speaker 2: and you know, there's the old the Hilton. And I
2:41
Speaker 2: must confess that I have gotten to where the new
2:44
Speaker 2: hotel names still haven't quite stuck because they have, you know,
2:52
Speaker 2: these new corporate names to them in so many ways,
2:55
Speaker 2: they still feel like, you know, the originals. But yeah,
2:59
Speaker 2: the Hilton is still the name, but the former Sheraton
3:02
Speaker 2: is the Courtland Grand that's the one that trips me
3:04
Speaker 2: up all the time. And then the west In which
3:07
Speaker 2: has been one for a while now. And then there's
3:10
Speaker 2: spillover hotels. The rollover hotels if for people that don't
3:15
Speaker 2: have time to you know, wait for somebody to cancel
3:21
Speaker 2: and then jump in and pounce on it. But all
3:24
Speaker 2: the hotels for the convention are listed on the DragonCon
3:28
Speaker 2: dot org website under hotels. So what is it. It's
3:34
Speaker 2: it's a huge pop culture convention that takes place every
3:37
Speaker 2: year in Atlanta. It's a huge financial draw for the
3:41
Speaker 2: state of Georgia, for the city of Atlanta, for the
3:44
Speaker 2: State of Georgia. And it's not just science fiction. So
3:49
Speaker 2: many people think of it as being this science fiction convention,
3:54
Speaker 2: and that's not really what it is. What it is
3:57
Speaker 2: is it's pop culture. It's it's it's movies, it's comic books,
4:03
Speaker 2: it's novels, like authors of novels. It's art. It is
4:08
Speaker 2: obviously the vendor hall where they've got lots of really
4:12
Speaker 2: cool stuff for sale and activities there. It's video games.
4:16
Speaker 2: When I say activities at the vendor hall, I'm talking
4:19
Speaker 2: about like you can get a tattoo, you can get
4:21
Speaker 2: custom swords and things, all these cooling and then video
4:25
Speaker 2: gaming is a huge part of the convention. Professional wrestling
4:28
Speaker 2: is part of the convention. If it's pop culture and
4:31
Speaker 2: it's something that you think, hey, this is my favorite
4:35
Speaker 2: thing in pop culture, it's probably involved, you know, in
4:38
Speaker 2: some capacity with Dragon Con. And I'll be talking more
4:43
Speaker 2: about it as we get closer and closer to the convention.
4:45
Speaker 2: I just at this point I have to tell you
4:48
Speaker 2: that you know, we're going to be covering it again
4:50
Speaker 2: the Dragon Con pregame show, the radio show Slash podcast
4:55
Speaker 2: that I have been doing now for many, many years,
4:59
Speaker 2: and it is our coverage of Dragon Con every year,
5:02
Speaker 2: as always, is sponsored by Columbus State University's Coca Cola
5:06
Speaker 2: Space Science Center. We appreciate them for that, and there's
5:10
Speaker 2: actual science there. Real scientists show up and talk about
5:14
Speaker 2: cool things. In some cases it is scientists who work
5:18
Speaker 2: as advisors on movies and TV shows. In some cases
5:22
Speaker 2: it's you know, actual astronauts that come. So there's that
5:27
Speaker 2: component of it. Science fiction is obviously a huge part,
5:30
Speaker 2: but real science is part of it. And then you've
5:32
Speaker 2: got skeptics. That's another track that takes place at the convention,
5:36
Speaker 2: where people come in and talk about their skeptical about
5:38
Speaker 2: this thing or that thing. I don't know if there's
5:40
Speaker 2: any flat earthers there, but it certainly seems like it's possible.
5:44
Speaker 2: I feel like there will be a few flat earthers
5:46
Speaker 2: in the building. I just don't know if they'll be
5:48
Speaker 2: represented if there's like a flat Earth track, but you
5:51
Speaker 2: know it's possible. And here's the other thing about this
5:54
Speaker 2: convention that's a lot of fun is it is it's
5:58
Speaker 2: basically like it starts officially on the Thursday before Labor Day,
6:05
Speaker 2: and it does not really stop at all until you know,
6:08
Speaker 2: like midday on Labor Day. You know, after lunch Labor Day,
6:13
Speaker 2: it just goes all hours of the night, and basically
6:17
Speaker 2: you have to monitor your sleeping habits yourself. That's what
6:22
Speaker 2: you gotta do, and all of your your convention stuff.
6:26
Speaker 2: You're eating, you're bathing, you you have to really polish
6:30
Speaker 2: yourself on that. If you're going to have a beverage
6:33
Speaker 2: or two, you have to polish yourself with it. And
6:35
Speaker 2: you got to hydrate. That's all important. But it's a
6:38
Speaker 2: lot of fun. It's a lot of people that gather
6:40
Speaker 2: in that area. It's the biggest parade in the Southeast
6:44
Speaker 2: outside of Savannah and Marti Gras. I mean this huge
6:48
Speaker 2: parade with all this incredible costuming, and costuming is a
6:51
Speaker 2: huge part of the convention as well. So just imagine
6:55
Speaker 2: a pop culture convention in five four star hotels and
7:00
Speaker 2: Erica's Mart with the best costume party going on for
7:03
Speaker 2: multiple days. Still time to grab your memberships. They don't
7:07
Speaker 2: call them tickets. They call them memberships because as a attendee,
7:12
Speaker 2: you partly own this convention. That's the way they view it.
7:14
Speaker 2: They want you to feel that ownership in it. So
7:17
Speaker 2: it's not just a ticket and you've bought a ticket,
7:19
Speaker 2: you're you're you're getting a membership to be part of
7:21
Speaker 2: it for the weekend and we'll have the Dragon Con
7:24
Speaker 2: pregame show that weekend before as we always do, but
7:27
Speaker 2: officially dragon Con September third through the seventh, and the
7:32
Speaker 2: pregame show going to air on about two hundred radio
7:34
Speaker 2: stations around the state of Georgia and then bleed over
7:38
Speaker 2: into states nearby and again thanks to Columbus State University's
7:42
Speaker 2: co Cola Space site center more on the and you
7:45
Speaker 2: can listen to past episodes of the dragon Con pregame
7:47
Speaker 2: show and interviews people like William Shatner and Evangeline Lily
7:52
Speaker 2: from the Marvel and Lord of the Rings universes, as
7:58
Speaker 2: well as of course Show Loss and Zachary Levi a
8:02
Speaker 2: part of Marvel and DC Universes. And also he was
8:09
Speaker 2: one of those actors who came out and set him
8:11
Speaker 2: supporting Donald Trump for a couple of different reasons, and
8:15
Speaker 2: you know, took some flak for it. So anyway, interviews
8:19
Speaker 2: with them and others waiting for you there at the
8:22
Speaker 2: dragon cant Con Pregame Show podcast wherever you get this podcast.
8:26
Speaker 2: All right, we've covered that. Now I want to go
8:29
Speaker 2: back to this wedding. And don't get me wrong, this
8:33
Speaker 2: is it's a big deal because they've made it a
8:37
Speaker 2: big deal, and we've allowed them to make it a
8:40
Speaker 2: big deal, and by talking about it now, it's just
8:44
Speaker 2: all part of the big deal. But I feel though
8:47
Speaker 2: to some degree we should acknowledge the fact that this
8:51
Speaker 2: is one of the most selfish, selfish things that they
8:57
Speaker 2: could do in what it one time would have been
9:01
Speaker 2: acknowledged as and some still acknowledge it as you know,
9:04
Speaker 2: America's greatest city just because of everything that takes place
9:08
Speaker 2: in New York. And I love New York. I haven't
9:12
Speaker 2: been in a long time. I don't know if or
9:14
Speaker 2: when I'll ever go again, because it's not the city
9:19
Speaker 2: that I used to go to and really love to
9:21
Speaker 2: go to. And I would I would go. I would
9:23
Speaker 2: watch Letterman live. I mean, it was Letterman, it was Conan.
9:28
Speaker 2: I went to The Daily Show a few times, I know,
9:33
Speaker 2: but I had a good time, you know, at the
9:35
Speaker 2: tapings for all of those things. I went to a
9:38
Speaker 2: lot of you know, Broadway shows, sporting events, got to
9:41
Speaker 2: see a Yankees Red Sox game, Red Sox at Yankees.
9:46
Speaker 2: I mean, the only thing we can equate that to is,
9:50
Speaker 2: you know, some of our great college football rivalries. It's
9:54
Speaker 2: it's just different, you know, it's it's like Alabama Auburn,
9:58
Speaker 2: or Auburn Georgia or even now Alabama Georgia the way
10:01
Speaker 2: that that rivalry has certainly become even more of a rivalry.
10:06
Speaker 2: So any of those things, you go see Yankees and
10:08
Speaker 2: Red Sox. I saw the Braves at the Mets in
10:11
Speaker 2: say Stadium. I've been a number of falcons at Giants games.
10:17
Speaker 2: The only thing I haven't done in that area. And
10:20
Speaker 2: I know you can be real technical and say it's
10:22
Speaker 2: not actually in in New York is because it's near
10:27
Speaker 2: where MetLife Stadium is or what are they calling it
10:29
Speaker 2: now during the World Cup, the New York New Jersey Stadium,
10:34
Speaker 2: But the haven't haven't actually been to see a New
10:38
Speaker 2: Jersey Devil's game that I'd like to go do that.
10:40
Speaker 2: So at some point I'll have to go back to
10:41
Speaker 2: that area at the very least. But you know, New
10:45
Speaker 2: York's just not the same. So it's it's one of
10:48
Speaker 2: America's greatest cities. It's obviously got a huge history for
10:52
Speaker 2: this country. And these two selfish jerks, Now I'm just
10:58
Speaker 2: kidding these two. I think it is selfish though, to
11:02
Speaker 2: ask for this city leading up to the America two
11:06
Speaker 2: fifty celebration on Independence Day on Saturday. The wedding rumored
11:11
Speaker 2: or I guess it's confirmed. I don't know, but it's
11:14
Speaker 2: going to happen on the third at Madison Square Garden.
11:18
Speaker 2: They've asked for the a whole area around Madison Square
11:22
Speaker 2: Guard and multiple blocks to be shut down. They've got
11:25
Speaker 2: apparently a thousand guests that are going to be coming
11:28
Speaker 2: in to see their wedding and be part of it
11:33
Speaker 2: or whatever. And they're saying no gifts, but you got
11:35
Speaker 2: to sign an NDA that apparently has zero consequences to it.
11:41
Speaker 2: I don't know if the consequence just means that they'll
11:43
Speaker 2: write you out of their lives, or if it means
11:46
Speaker 2: that she'll write a song about you. I don't know.
11:49
Speaker 2: He won't give you any more tickets to Chiefs games.
11:52
Speaker 2: He's getting close to the end. I don't know that
11:55
Speaker 2: that one's going to be a big one. If you're
11:57
Speaker 2: worried about not getting tickets left, will call from Travis Kelsey.
12:03
Speaker 2: He still got some football left at him. But he's
12:06
Speaker 2: getting close to the end. And that's nothing wrong with that.
12:09
Speaker 2: You know, it's a rough game, it's a rough sport.
12:12
Speaker 2: He's certainly had an incredible career and won some Super Bowls.
12:16
Speaker 2: I'm not mocking that. I'm just saying there's not a
12:19
Speaker 2: lot left there. I personally think that if they had
12:23
Speaker 2: won that Super Bowl two super Bowls back that they
12:27
Speaker 2: lost so badly to the Eagles, I think that would
12:30
Speaker 2: have probably been the engagement night and all that on
12:34
Speaker 2: the field. That might have even been his retirement, all
12:37
Speaker 2: of those things. But that's all speculation. Who knows. There's
12:40
Speaker 2: a lot of speculation with these with these two, so
12:43
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, am I wrong that it's
12:45
Speaker 2: a little selfish to say, hey, we're going to shut
12:47
Speaker 2: down We got all these people in for the World Cup,
12:49
Speaker 2: we got all these people trying to experience New York City,
12:53
Speaker 2: we got people that want to be a part of
12:55
Speaker 2: the two fifty celebration, and we're going to ask you
12:59
Speaker 2: to shut down traffic. And it's gonna be at a
13:02
Speaker 2: huge tax expense to the people of New York. And
13:06
Speaker 2: I know, what a shocker. There's gonna be a penalty
13:11
Speaker 2: on the people of New York. But do the problem.
13:13
Speaker 2: The thing is, if it's coming from the taxpayers, you
13:16
Speaker 2: got to pay taxes. And there's a lot of people
13:18
Speaker 2: there that apparently don't do that, and you know, the
13:22
Speaker 2: mayor there is probably just like, yeah, whatever, it doesn't matter.
13:26
Speaker 2: It's not gonna affect any of my spending. It's not
13:30
Speaker 2: gonna affect what my plans are. I'm still trying to
13:32
Speaker 2: figure out out of tax people who've moved out of
13:35
Speaker 2: New York since I got elected and some of those things.
13:39
Speaker 2: So basically, yeah, there's no punishment for the NDA. I
13:43
Speaker 2: don't know what the purpose is. The only thing apparently
13:48
Speaker 2: that really comes into all of this is that there's
13:51
Speaker 2: a water mark that has the guests first and last
13:56
Speaker 2: name on the on the invitation, so that people who whoever,
14:01
Speaker 2: if someone leaked the invitation to the press, then they
14:05
Speaker 2: would know who did it, because that's what's really important
14:08
Speaker 2: when it comes to your wedding, and I guess they
14:11
Speaker 2: don't want anybody trying to show up with, you know,
14:15
Speaker 2: a fake invitation. I'm a little surprised to hear me
14:20
Speaker 2: out on this because this is a it's a selfish thing,
14:25
Speaker 2: I think, and I'm not I want to be clear.
14:28
Speaker 2: I've said this before and I'll say this again, and
14:30
Speaker 2: this is the honest truth. Okay, I'm not critical and
14:36
Speaker 2: I'm not saying bad things about Taylor Swift just because
14:39
Speaker 2: I don't like her or whatever, because it's not that.
14:41
Speaker 2: It's it's not that at all, and she's incredibly talented artist.
14:44
Speaker 2: I think she's done some damage to the concert industry
14:47
Speaker 2: with the prices of her tickets. But I'm a free
14:50
Speaker 2: market guy, you know that, So do what you got
14:53
Speaker 2: to do when it comes to making your coin. And
14:56
Speaker 2: that's what she did. But now other people that are
14:58
Speaker 2: trying to say, well, that's the price tickets. Now I
15:02
Speaker 2: want to have, you know, my concerts, so tickets for
15:06
Speaker 2: my shows to go for that, and it's just not working.
15:09
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of people that's this blue dot
15:11
Speaker 2: center on that's going around. But I want to be
15:13
Speaker 2: clear about this because I'm not saying anything bad about
15:16
Speaker 2: her specifically. She's never said anything about me other than
15:21
Speaker 2: positive things, and that's true. That is absolutely the truth.
15:27
Speaker 2: She has said one statement about me, and it was
15:32
Speaker 2: very positive, which is this is one hundred percent true.
15:35
Speaker 2: It sounds like you may think I'm making it up.
15:37
Speaker 2: I'm not. It's the truth. Someone asked about me or
15:43
Speaker 2: delivered a message from me to her, and she said,
15:46
Speaker 2: and I quote, oh, Wes Carol I love him or
15:50
Speaker 2: I love him, I think was the way it was
15:52
Speaker 2: delivered back to me. So how could I say anything
15:56
Speaker 2: bad about somebody who would say such a positive thing
15:58
Speaker 2: about me. I'm invited to the wedding. I'm disappointed, but
16:02
Speaker 2: maybe I'm a little bit surprised that she's not selling
16:04
Speaker 2: tickets to the wedding. If you're runting out Madison Square
16:07
Speaker 2: Garden and you're willing to sell concert tickets for like
16:12
Speaker 2: a thousand bucks a pop or whatever they were going
16:14
Speaker 2: for for the nose bleeds, I think you'd have some
16:17
Speaker 2: fans that would happily pay for Is that taki to
16:21
Speaker 2: have them buy tickets to your wedding? I don't know
16:23
Speaker 2: it is it is. I think it's tacky though, just
16:27
Speaker 2: you know, blocking off the streets in New York the
16:29
Speaker 2: day before the Independence Day celebrations. But I know New
16:34
Speaker 2: York is probably one of those places where there'll be
16:37
Speaker 2: more people angry that we're celebrating two hundred and fifty
16:40
Speaker 2: years than celebrating it. Today's show brought to you by
16:43

17:39
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
17:41
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
17:45

18:47
Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
18:51
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
18:55
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
18:58
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
19:00
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
19:03
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
19:07
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
19:09
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:12
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
19:15
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
19:19
Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
19:22
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
19:26
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
19:28
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
19:31
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
19:34
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
19:37
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
19:39
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
19:42
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
19:44
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
19:46
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
19:49
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
19:52
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
19:55
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
19:58
Speaker 2: as well. Six five eight forty five hundred seven O

20:18
Speaker 2: So the WNBA has been taking a bit of a
20:22
Speaker 2: beating here lately, and well their star player has been
20:25
Speaker 2: taking a beating, and that's why the league's been taken
20:27
Speaker 2: a beating and understandably and I'm not taking anything back
20:30
Speaker 2: I've said about it. Yeah, I've voiced my concerns about
20:33
Speaker 2: it and my connections may be parallels a bit to
20:37
Speaker 2: the Supergirl movie. But this is some good news. I
20:41
Speaker 2: think this is a cool story. I like this. Uh So,
20:44
Speaker 2: the Toronto Tempo that's Canada's new first ever WNBA team,
20:49
Speaker 2: cors Light has unveiled a limited edition Tall Girl can
20:54
Speaker 2: so It's the same size as the standard twenty ounce
20:57
Speaker 2: Tall Boy, but the collectible cans will only be sold
21:01
Speaker 2: to fans attending the Tempo games at Coca Cola Colisseum
21:04
Speaker 2: July fifth through the eighth Corps, Light, which has already
21:07
Speaker 2: sponsored the NBA's Raptors over three decades, doubling down on
21:10
Speaker 2: its sport for Canadian basketball by donating ten thousand dollars
21:15
Speaker 2: to the Tempo Basketball Foundation to help empower young women
21:18
Speaker 2: and girls through local sports programs. Nice. I'm I think
21:23
Speaker 2: it's you know, obviously, this is an American beer, though
21:26
Speaker 2: it's kind of surprised. It's not like La bat or
21:29
Speaker 2: you know whatever, Little bat Blue as the Tall Girl can. No, No,
21:33
Speaker 2: it's Cores Light, So good for them. I think that's
21:35
Speaker 2: a cool story, tall girls. I like it. So once
21:41
Speaker 2: upon a time, you know, you had the you would
21:44
Speaker 2: do the meal preps, and you would have those you know,
21:49
Speaker 2: color coded meal prep containers. Well, apparently it's changed a
21:53
Speaker 2: little bit because now there's a more relaxed approach to
21:56
Speaker 2: cooking called fridge foraging. Instead of spending hours prepping meals
22:00
Speaker 2: for the week, people are opening the fridge, seeing what's
22:03
Speaker 2: available and then turning random leftovers and ingredients into something edible,
22:09
Speaker 2: sometimes to the surprise of the people that eat it.
22:13
Speaker 2: So you go like leftover rice and you get an
22:16
Speaker 2: egg and you make like a you know, throw an
22:19
Speaker 2: egg in it and you make like a fried rice
22:21
Speaker 2: kind of thing, or you've got like a kitchen sink sandwich,
22:25
Speaker 2: or you know, a snack plate that kind of becomes dinner.
22:29
Speaker 2: Fans of fridge foraging say it reduces food wet, saves money,
22:33
Speaker 2: and takes the pressure out of meal planning. Here's another
22:37
Speaker 2: tip to go with this is you can, like there,
22:40
Speaker 2: you can just go into like AI like chat GPT,
22:43
Speaker 2: and you can say, here's here's the ingredients I have
22:47
Speaker 2: in my refrigerator. What can I cook with this? And
22:50
Speaker 2: it can tell you recipes. I haven't done it with
22:53
Speaker 2: chat GPT. I'm I'm sure though, that AI in general
22:57
Speaker 2: can do that for you. So a four we're airline
23:00
Speaker 2: employee warning passengers to think twice before wearing shorts on
23:04
Speaker 2: flights in this summer, and the reason not about style
23:09
Speaker 2: or cleanliness, It's actually about safety. A former Emirates Airlines
23:14
Speaker 2: employee going by the name of Drake explaining on social
23:18
Speaker 2: media that in an emergency, especially in evacuation, those inflatable
23:22
Speaker 2: slides can cause serious friction burns. So if you've got
23:26
Speaker 2: bare skin exposed, passengers risk painful injuries as they slide
23:30
Speaker 2: down quickly. And if you're wearing shorts and you have
23:33
Speaker 2: to evacuate a plane, is advice is to cover your legs,
23:36
Speaker 2: keep your hands on your lap to avoid slide burns.
23:41
Speaker 2: That's a great tip. I'm just gonna say this though,
23:44
Speaker 2: if you have to go down one of those slides
23:46
Speaker 2: of an emergency, you're probably okay with a couple of
23:48
Speaker 2: burns on your legs. I mean, I'm just saying, I know,
23:52
Speaker 2: I know those burns hurt, and they'll hurt for a while,
23:55
Speaker 2: but really we're talking about you know, some burn on
24:00
Speaker 2: your legs versus you know it's it's an emergency, that's
24:05
Speaker 2: all I'm saying. Right, Well, if it feels like your
24:08
Speaker 2: kids are growing up quickly, and we're definitely in that
24:12
Speaker 2: reality with two, well two in high school next year,
24:16
Speaker 2: there's no imagination. A recent study of parents with kids
24:19
Speaker 2: between the ages of five and seventeen found that sixty
24:22
Speaker 2: six percent feel that a single year passes as quickly
24:26
Speaker 2: as two When it comes to watching their children grow
24:31
Speaker 2: and kids getting older, that feeling intensifies, and then ninety
24:41
Speaker 2: one percent of parents say that the time seems to
24:43
Speaker 2: speed up each passing year. Basically, the finding serve as
24:48
Speaker 2: a reminder that childhood is surprisingly brief, giving parents about
24:51
Speaker 2: seventeen years to create meaningful memories and experiences before their
24:56
Speaker 2: kids potentially head off on their own, and that sense
24:59
Speaker 2: of urgency the extends to family vacations, so keep that
25:02
Speaker 2: in mind with a little time left in the summer
25:04
Speaker 2: before school starts back again, With parents saying the prime
25:08
Speaker 2: years for family trips about seven to fourteen, enthusiasts, I'm
25:11
Speaker 2: often starting to fade in those early teen years. Forty
25:15
Speaker 2: four percent of parents surveyed worry they've missed the sweet spot.
25:18
Speaker 2: Good news being that ninety four percent believe their kids
25:21
Speaker 2: are still at an age where they enjoy spending time
25:23
Speaker 2: in traveling with family. Another thing, is this your time
25:27
Speaker 2: to really help instill enjoy in traveling and experiencing things
25:33
Speaker 2: with their kids. We're going through that, and we're still
25:36
Speaker 2: doing that, and we're at that fourteen to seventeen range
25:38
Speaker 2: with our kids, so there is still time for that.
25:41
Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Wednesday edition of the show.
