- 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
- 0:08Speaker 1: Show Monday morning.
- 0:10Speaker 2: At fourteenth day of April. I'm west thanks for joining me.
- 0:15Speaker 2: We're getting here to tax time. You haven't already done it.
- 0:20Speaker 2: If you're one of the people that's like I'm dreading it,
- 0:22Speaker 2: I'm going to wait till the last possible second, I'm
- 0:25Speaker 2: with you.
- 0:25Speaker 3: I get it.
- 0:25Speaker 2: I understand. We don't get a giant refund. We get
- 0:29Speaker 2: a little bit of a refund, so we kind of
- 0:32Speaker 2: get ours done pretty quickly. Just for that purpose. I've
- 0:35Speaker 2: got friends who are Nope, I'm gonna make sure I
- 0:38Speaker 2: don't and I'm gonna wait and pay it all at
- 0:39Speaker 2: the last possible second. And I get it. I understand completely.
- 0:44Speaker 2: They don't want to let the government hold onto any
- 0:46Speaker 2: of their money for any length of time. Make sure
- 0:49Speaker 2: that they get every little tiny drop of interest out
- 0:52Speaker 2: of that money by having it themselves and holding on
- 0:55Speaker 2: to it and waiting as long as possible to pay
- 0:58Speaker 2: any of it. I get every bit of that. Do
- 1:01Speaker 2: just two different sides of the coin. We pay a
- 1:03Speaker 2: little bit and get a refund, and that's what you know,
- 1:05Speaker 2: that's what we have to do. But anyway, that's our
- 1:07Speaker 2: strategy for it. So we're here on Monday morning. First,
- 1:12Speaker 2: I wanted to say quickly thank you to a friend
- 1:18Speaker 2: one of our listeners, Colin Martin, who had me hosted
- 1:23Speaker 2: me for the Atlanta United game on Saturday. Had a
- 1:30Speaker 2: good time, good time catching up with him. We were
- 1:34Speaker 2: hanging out and we were just, I don't know, twenty
- 1:39Speaker 2: feet away from a senator who was also at the game.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Not necessarily in the same section we were in, but
- 1:49Speaker 2: just like twenty feet away. And I'm not going to
- 1:53Speaker 2: say which senator. It was one of the two from Georgia,
- 1:56Speaker 2: and it was the one that isn't a fan of mine.
- 2:00Speaker 2: He doesn't like me very much. I've shared my experience at.
- 2:05Speaker 3: Disney of this particular senator. You may have to go back.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I have to go back to a past show when
- 2:11Speaker 2: I bumped into him at Disney. He's not a fan,
- 2:14Speaker 2: that's all I'll say. He doesn't like a nickname that
- 2:19Speaker 2: I used for him. I think, I mean, that's my guess.
- 2:21Speaker 2: That's that's what I've been told. He didn't say it
- 2:24Speaker 2: to my face, but I think that he doesn't like
- 2:28Speaker 2: the nickname I have for and I've got a nickname
- 2:30Speaker 2: for both of them. So I don't know. One one
- 2:34Speaker 2: may be a little more egregious than the other. I
- 2:36Speaker 2: don't know. It's all done in fun, you know, that's all.
- 2:41Speaker 3: That's all.
- 2:41Speaker 2: I could be nice to anybody in person. That's not
- 2:44Speaker 2: the issue. It wasn't about that. I've never I would
- 2:46Speaker 2: never be rude to anyone that's that's serving in our well.
- 2:52Speaker 2: I can't say I wouldn't never. I wouldn't intentionally be real.
- 2:54Speaker 2: I wouldn't be rude to either.
- 2:55Speaker 3: Of our senators here in Georgia.
- 2:57Speaker 2: There's no one in Georgia that I would be rude too. Oh,
- 3:01Speaker 2: that would be really nice to them. So and it's
- 3:05Speaker 2: different I had. I was accused once of being buddies
- 3:09Speaker 2: with a former mayor in Columbus, and personally we got
- 3:15Speaker 2: along great, she and I. If that tells you anything,
- 3:19Speaker 2: we got along great personally. There was there was never
- 3:21Speaker 2: any no politics were different. We didn't agree on a
- 3:25Speaker 2: lot of things. We didn't see the same side on things,
- 3:28Speaker 2: but we rarely discussed it. There was maybe once did
- 3:32Speaker 2: we ever really discuss anything political? And and she tried
- 3:37Speaker 2: to say you know, her side on it, and I said, I,
- 3:40Speaker 2: you know, I don't necessarily agree with it, and that
- 3:41Speaker 2: was it. That was the extent of the conversation about it.
- 3:44Speaker 2: But it didn't mean that we couldn't get along personally.
- 3:46Speaker 2: That's that's what we're missing right now. But anyway, and
- 3:51Speaker 2: that's fine. I mean, I make jokes and if if
- 3:53Speaker 2: if I've struck a nerve, as I've been told not
- 3:56Speaker 2: by not by the Senator, but by people who know
- 3:59Speaker 2: the Senator, and I didn't, it's not I think it's
- 4:02Speaker 2: kind of a silly nickname. I think it's silly, That's
- 4:05Speaker 2: what I think. But anyway, but I appreciate Colin hosting
- 4:09Speaker 2: me there for that. So we went up for the game.
- 4:14Speaker 2: The family went up. The Jill and the boys sat
- 4:17Speaker 2: elsewhere from where I was sitting.
- 4:21Speaker 3: And then it was fun.
- 4:24Speaker 2: We went up. We went actually rode the marta something
- 4:26Speaker 2: that we haven't done at a sporting event in a
- 4:28Speaker 2: while or a concert. That used to be the only
- 4:32Speaker 2: way to do transport going and out of Atlanta.
- 4:36Speaker 3: That was it.
- 4:36Speaker 2: That was the way that we did it when I
- 4:38Speaker 2: was much younger. And then I got to the point
- 4:40Speaker 2: where it was like you know, I've got to be
- 4:42Speaker 2: able to leave when I'm ready to leave. And I
- 4:44Speaker 2: was doing a lot in my radio music days programming
- 4:49Speaker 2: a radio station. It was a lot of to and
- 4:51Speaker 2: fro from Atlanta for concerts, and there was just no
- 4:54Speaker 2: time to waste. There was no messing around with waiting
- 4:58Speaker 2: on a train. You wanted to be able to just
- 5:00Speaker 2: get in the car and go, and kind of gave
- 5:04Speaker 2: up on Marda for a long time. But first time
- 5:08Speaker 2: our boys had been on any kind of public train
- 5:12Speaker 2: like that, so we were wanted them to get that
- 5:14Speaker 2: experience too. We're going to be overseas in this summer
- 5:19Speaker 2: and we'll be riding trains in a number of cities,
- 5:21Speaker 2: so we wanted to be able to kind of get
- 5:24Speaker 2: one of those under their belt, kind of check the
- 5:25Speaker 2: box and say, okay, we've done this. Now they have
- 5:28Speaker 2: a little bit of a feel about how it works.
- 5:31Speaker 2: And it was seamless. I mean, there were a lot
- 5:34Speaker 2: of people going to the game, but overall, the experience
- 5:38Speaker 2: was good. We stopped, we got on the trains we
- 5:40Speaker 2: had to, you know, we had a one to five
- 5:43Speaker 2: points and then you switch over to another train to
- 5:45Speaker 2: get to State Farm Arena. But seamless, no real problems,
- 5:50Speaker 2: no complix other than the crowd of people. But they
- 5:53Speaker 2: were all people going to the game. For the most part,
- 5:56Speaker 2: people were all fired up about going to the game.
- 5:58Speaker 2: We could have maybe planned our rival a little bit
- 6:00Speaker 2: different time and done it a little bit better, but anyway,
- 6:04Speaker 2: overall that was a positive experience.
- 6:06Speaker 3: But I appreciate it.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Colin good hanging out and you know, meeting some of
- 6:12Speaker 2: his friends and former colleagues and things who were there
- 6:15Speaker 2: at the at the match didn't go well for Atlanta United,
- 6:18Speaker 2: but they've had a.
- 6:19Speaker 3: Lot of games go that way this season.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Let's talk about Gretchen Whitmer, and I want to just
- 6:27Speaker 2: for a second talk about this because it's an interesting
- 6:30Speaker 2: thing that's kind of played out with her, because she's
- 6:33Speaker 2: on the list that people think is going to be
- 6:38Speaker 2: a candidate for president in a few years, right, and
- 6:41Speaker 2: she's somebody that many thoughts should have been the candidate
- 6:44Speaker 2: instead of Kamala Harris last year. You know, there's people
- 6:48Speaker 2: who think, oh, if it had been her, she would
- 6:49Speaker 2: have been the ones the governor of Michigan. So and
- 6:55Speaker 2: I bring this So she went to the White House
- 6:58Speaker 2: and she thought, I guess she was having a private
- 7:00Speaker 2: meeting with the president, And what ended up happening was,
- 7:04Speaker 2: you know, the cameras were there and she hid her
- 7:08Speaker 2: face with a folder, like she had folders in her arms.
- 7:13Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 7:14Speaker 2: She says that that's not really what was happening. It's
- 7:17Speaker 2: an odd photo moment as she's standing there in the
- 7:20Speaker 2: Oval Office and she's definitely hiding her face. I don't
- 7:22Speaker 2: know why she's hiding her face. I don't know what
- 7:25Speaker 2: the story is. I just know that there's been accusations
- 7:30Speaker 2: that she was hiding she didn't want to be photographed
- 7:32Speaker 2: in the Oval Office having a meeting. And I guess
- 7:34Speaker 2: if she thought she was having a private meeting. I
- 7:37Speaker 2: think that's going to come back to my question about
- 7:40Speaker 2: all of this. But not too long ago, and we
- 7:43Speaker 2: talked about this, I think it was about two weeks ago.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Another likely candidate for president for the Democrats in twenty
- 7:51Speaker 2: eight at least through the primaries, is Gavin Newsom, the
- 7:55Speaker 2: governor of California, and he was on Bill Maher show
- 8:00Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago and one of the things
- 8:03Speaker 2: that they discussed now Bill Maher. Bill Maher obviously has
- 8:08Speaker 2: become a lot less toe in the line with what
- 8:15Speaker 2: Democrats have been saying, and he has taken a stand
- 8:20Speaker 2: on a few issues, and he says there's a lot
- 8:22Speaker 2: of issues Democrats need to.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Give up on.
- 8:24Speaker 2: He says they need to give up on, you know,
- 8:27Speaker 2: trans athletes and some of these things that just don't
- 8:29Speaker 2: make any sense. And he feels like, you know, the
- 8:32Speaker 2: party has shifted further left and he's comfortable with So
- 8:36Speaker 2: he had on Gavin Newsom, who and I talked about
- 8:40Speaker 2: this last week. Newsom is trying to rebrand himself. He
- 8:43Speaker 2: is trying hard to rebrand himself to the point he's
- 8:48Speaker 2: having to lie about certain things that he has, you know,
- 8:52Speaker 2: positions that he's held in the past. There have been
- 8:55Speaker 2: issues that he said, you know, that he addressed or
- 8:59Speaker 2: he spoke or said, and then now he's trying to say, no, no,
- 9:02Speaker 2: I never did that. One of those kind of came
- 9:06Speaker 2: up in a show called I don't Know a week
- 9:08Speaker 2: or so ago, where we talked about how he was
- 9:11Speaker 2: using the term LATINX. He has said now that he
- 9:15Speaker 2: nor anyone on his staff used the term LATINX at
- 9:19Speaker 2: any point. If you're not familiar the you know, Hispanic languages, Spanish, languages.
- 9:26Speaker 2: When I say Hispanic, I should say, you know, Latin
- 9:30Speaker 2: languages in general, they have a masculine a feminine side
- 9:34Speaker 2: to them. So often people referred to as Latino or Latina,
- 9:40Speaker 2: depending on if it's a male or a female, and
- 9:42Speaker 2: that's obviously troublesome to the people who want gender to
- 9:46Speaker 2: be such a main topic of discussion for everyone. And
- 9:50Speaker 2: in the process of trying to continue to court the
- 9:57Speaker 2: Latina Latino, I was told by someone from Mexico Latin
- 10:03Speaker 2: to just say Latin, so that community trying to sort
- 10:07Speaker 2: of reprogram them to get away from this masculine feminine thing.
- 10:12Speaker 2: So they put an X on the end of it,
- 10:14Speaker 2: and that was supposed to be a way to kind
- 10:16Speaker 2: of reprogram the thought. See, that's one of the things
- 10:19Speaker 2: that the left does. They consciously decide they want to
- 10:22Speaker 2: reprogram the way that their voters think because sometimes, like
- 10:26Speaker 2: in eight they have an election and the election is
- 10:31Speaker 2: for you know, the President of the United States, Barack Obama,
- 10:35Speaker 2: the first black man to be nominated for president, and
- 10:39Speaker 2: they basically say, look, we're going to get everybody that
- 10:42Speaker 2: we can find and we're going to get them to
- 10:44Speaker 2: register to vote. This will be the first time that
- 10:47Speaker 2: they ever voted, and it's going to be great. We're
- 10:49Speaker 2: going to make sure that they register to vote, and
- 10:51Speaker 2: then we'll have them forever because they'll be registered and
- 10:54Speaker 2: then they'll vote and they'll get used to it and
- 10:55Speaker 2: they'll keep doing it. So in California, you're you're just
- 11:00Speaker 2: grabbing you know, eighteen nineteen year old kids on the street. Hey,
- 11:04Speaker 2: you like Barack Obama, right, and they're like, yeah, come on,
- 11:06Speaker 2: let's register, let's vote, Let's do this.
- 11:09Speaker 3: So they did.
- 11:10Speaker 2: They got a lot of people who never voted before
- 11:12Speaker 2: to vote for him, and then they also on the
- 11:17Speaker 2: ballot was a Proposition AID or whatever it was, the
- 11:21Speaker 2: legalized gay marriage in California. And what a lot of
- 11:25Speaker 2: Democrats didn't factor in was that you had people that
- 11:28Speaker 2: would vote and they would say, Barack Obama, that's my guy.
- 11:32Speaker 2: Gay marriage Nope, because at the time, a lot of
- 11:37Speaker 2: the black community not down with the idea of gay marriage,
- 11:42Speaker 2: thought it was not okay, a little bit more conservative
- 11:45Speaker 2: than they get credit for in that sense. So Hollywood
- 11:50Speaker 2: made a conscious effort to kind of reprogram the way
- 11:56Speaker 2: that Black America thinks. That TV shows like Empire came out.
- 12:02Speaker 2: There were a couple of movies that came out. Moonlight
- 12:05Speaker 2: was the Oscar winner for Best Picture. It was a
- 12:10Speaker 2: targeted let's figure out how we're going to get people
- 12:16Speaker 2: to start thinking differently because we need both of these groups.
- 12:20Speaker 2: And that was the thinking with the whole LATINX thing.
- 12:22Speaker 2: We're going to kind of reprogram the thinking on this.
- 12:25Speaker 2: And then, of course Gavin Newsom was caught in the lie.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Of course he's used that term. Here's the video evidence.
- 12:33Speaker 2: But he's trying to do that. He's trying to rebrand
- 12:35Speaker 2: and one of the things he's done is he started
- 12:37Speaker 2: a podcast. In this podcast, he's sitting down and interviewing
- 12:42Speaker 2: people at Charlie Kirk and people like that, where he's
- 12:45Speaker 2: talking to conservative minds and voices, and some of them
- 12:49Speaker 2: are making him look really stupid.
- 12:51Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think going well.
- 12:54Speaker 2: But what he's trying to do is say, look, I'll
- 12:56Speaker 2: sit down with anybody. I'll sit across the table. I'll
- 13:00Speaker 2: across the table with people and find out what makes
- 13:02Speaker 2: us similar instead of what makes us different. All the
- 13:04Speaker 2: things that someone should be doing. But when it's you know,
- 13:08Speaker 2: a guy who kind of looks like the devil incarnate
- 13:11Speaker 2: and he does. I mean, if Satan came to earth
- 13:14Speaker 2: as a human being, he would look a lot like
- 13:16Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom. Let's be honest, he would look a lot
- 13:20Speaker 2: like I'm not saying Gavin Newsom is the devil. I'm
- 13:22Speaker 2: just pointing out the fact that TV show Lucifer that
- 13:27Speaker 2: should have been the guy that played him. You know,
- 13:29Speaker 2: that's just that's my point. That's what he looks like.
- 13:33Speaker 2: He looks like the devil came to Earth, put on
- 13:37Speaker 2: a suit, has the smile, has the hair, the whole
- 13:41Speaker 2: look right. So he's rebranding himself and he's trying to
- 13:47Speaker 2: do this. Look I'm reaching across the aisle and talking
- 13:50Speaker 2: to other people. Gretchen Whitmer, who let's be on any
- 13:55Speaker 2: Democrat that has any chance at winning in twenty twenty
- 13:58Speaker 2: eight and really the next you know, two three elections,
- 14:03Speaker 2: they're going to have to be seen as somebody who
- 14:05Speaker 2: reaches across the aisle. That's gonna have to be the perception.
- 14:09Speaker 2: It's gonna have to be because now the perception is
- 14:13Speaker 2: they won't do that, they don't have any interest in
- 14:16Speaker 2: doing that. They don't want to talk to anybody, and
- 14:18Speaker 2: they don't want you to talk to somebody on the
- 14:20Speaker 2: other side if you're one of them, because they're afraid
- 14:24Speaker 2: someone might be able to convince you that your opinion
- 14:27Speaker 2: is wrong, that what they've been telling you about everything
- 14:31Speaker 2: is wrong. You might be able to start thinking on
- 14:34Speaker 2: your own and figure things out instead of just accepting
- 14:37Speaker 2: what they're giving you and shut up. So the person
- 14:43Speaker 2: who ends up being the nominee in twenty twenty eight,
- 14:47Speaker 2: twenty thirty two, like somebody is going to have to
- 14:49Speaker 2: be one of these people who reaches across the aisle.
- 14:52Speaker 2: Gretchen Whitmer had a great opportunity to say, look, I'm
- 14:56Speaker 2: representing my state, I'm going to go to the White House.
- 14:58Speaker 2: I'm going to have this meeting. And then suddenly there
- 15:02Speaker 2: were cameras and there were people there. She should have
- 15:08Speaker 2: embraced this. Why did she not see this as an
- 15:10Speaker 2: opportunity to be seen as somebody who is willing to
- 15:14Speaker 2: sit down and talk to somebody on the other side.
- 15:16Speaker 3: And I mean she was.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Going in to do business, right, she was going in
- 15:21Speaker 2: there to talk with the president, and she hid she
- 15:27Speaker 2: hit her face. Now is that exactly what was happening,
- 15:32Speaker 2: I don't know, but it sure is what it looked
- 15:33Speaker 2: like happened. Sure does appear that's what she was doing,
- 15:38Speaker 2: was hiding her face, because that was the image that
- 15:41Speaker 2: was captured her hiding behind some folders. So but even
- 15:45Speaker 2: if it wasn't, why isn't she embracing this idea of,
- 15:48Speaker 2: you know what, I'm going.
- 15:49Speaker 3: To go talk to the president.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Anybody that has any aspirations to run for president starting
- 15:55Speaker 2: in twenty twenty eight, they need to sit down.
- 15:59Speaker 3: With the president. They need to go talk to him.
- 16:01Speaker 2: They need to be in the Oval office. They have
- 16:04Speaker 2: to be perceived as somebody who's willing to reach across
- 16:06Speaker 2: the aisle. This idea of we're going to be as
- 16:09Speaker 2: divisive as possible, and we're going to constantly bicker and
- 16:14Speaker 2: fight and lob grenades at one another and call each
- 16:17Speaker 2: other names racist and fascist, and it's not going to
- 16:21Speaker 2: get it done. That's not going to get things done
- 16:25Speaker 2: as we start to move forward, if we learn nothing
- 16:27Speaker 2: from November of last year, that should have been their takeaway.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State Universities Coca

- 18:46Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
- 18:49Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 18:55Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 18:58Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 19:00Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 19:04Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
- 19:08Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 19:11Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 19:15Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 19:17Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 19:20Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 19:23Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 19:26Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 19:28Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
- 19:31Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 19:33Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 19:35Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 19:38Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 19:41Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
- 19:44Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
- 19:47Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six Thtory five eight forty five

- 19:58Speaker 2: after the break. So, my high school student likes to
- 20:09Speaker 2: wear sweats to school, and it's something I guess that
- 20:14Speaker 2: a lot of the kids were doing in middle school.
- 20:15Speaker 3: They still do it in high school.
- 20:17Speaker 2: Not all of them, some do. Number of parents I've
- 20:20Speaker 2: talked to about it of you know, people that I
- 20:23Speaker 2: know say oh yeah, my kids like to.
- 20:24Speaker 3: Do the same thing.
- 20:27Speaker 2: But apparently it's not just.
- 20:30Speaker 3: Kids.
- 20:30Speaker 2: It's actually transitioned into the workplace as now. Gen Z
- 20:35Speaker 2: workers are big fans of ath leisure in the office.
- 20:41Speaker 2: So it's yoga pants, stylish joggers, cute and comfortable. That's
- 20:48Speaker 2: the goal, and it's becoming more accepted by bosses looking
- 20:52Speaker 2: to attract gen Z workers. And it's basically about looking
- 20:57Speaker 2: for a balance as far as you know what you're
- 21:00Speaker 2: comfortable with at work and what you're willing to accept
- 21:04Speaker 2: as an employee ure for people coming into the office.
- 21:10Speaker 2: It depends on the job, of course. I mean there's
- 21:13Speaker 2: certain jobs where you need to look a certain way,
- 21:16Speaker 2: you need to look professional, and then there's some jobs
- 21:18Speaker 2: where it's probably not as big of a priority. Working
- 21:23Speaker 2: in radio, there were people who thought, oh man, you
- 21:26Speaker 2: got to come every day in a tie in a suit,
- 21:28Speaker 2: and that doesn't really fit the image maybe of your
- 21:32Speaker 2: particular radio station.
- 21:34Speaker 3: But there were people who still did it. They did
- 21:36Speaker 3: it every day.
- 21:37Speaker 2: They thought, I'm like even ones that worked for stations
- 21:41Speaker 2: where their audience would never be caught dead in a
- 21:45Speaker 2: tie going to work to listen to music. So it
- 21:49Speaker 2: is an interesting change that's sort of taking place, But
- 21:54Speaker 2: obviously it all depends like a supply and demand type thing,
- 21:57Speaker 2: except where it's people are looking for workers and they're
- 22:00Speaker 2: looking how to get them to work. And people maybe
- 22:03Speaker 2: got a little used to that when it came to COVID.
- 22:06Speaker 3: And working from home.
- 22:07Speaker 2: So there you go, and I guess there's still businesses
- 22:10Speaker 2: trying to get people back into the office and in
- 22:12Speaker 2: some cases into the office for the first time. How
- 22:16Speaker 2: much is politics influencing relationships? According to a new U
- 22:20Speaker 2: gov survey, sixty one percent of Americans would not want
- 22:25Speaker 2: to date someone who had opposing views on them and
- 22:29Speaker 2: specifically to them, specifically on issues like the President Donald Trump.
- 22:37Speaker 2: Women are more likely than men to say they wouldn't
- 22:39Speaker 2: be willing to date someone who felt differently about the
- 22:41Speaker 2: President than they did fifty one percent versus thirty four percent.
- 22:47Speaker 2: And again, this isn't necessarily negative. This is just people
- 22:50Speaker 2: saying they needed to feel about him the way that
- 22:53Speaker 2: I feel. So there you go, all right. Snackers Lay's
- 23:00Speaker 2: announced the finalists for the du Us a flavor contest,
- 23:03Speaker 2: and now it's up to you to choose the best
- 23:06Speaker 2: new chip flavor. Lay's received more than seven hundred thousand

- 23:15Speaker 2: are Valentina and Lime, Wavy, Korean style Fried Chicken, and
- 23:22Speaker 2: bacon grilled Cheese. So those are the options you've got.
- 23:27Speaker 2: I know my choice. I'll give you a second to
- 23:30Speaker 2: lock in yours. I'm locking in bacon grilled cheese. I
- 23:34Speaker 2: don't think there's any question that's the option. I mean, anyway,
- 23:39Speaker 2: you got until between April June thirteenth. It starts April
- 23:43Speaker 2: twenty first through June thirteenth. The winning flavor wins a
- 23:46Speaker 2: million dollars for the.
- 23:48Speaker 3: Person who submitted it to Lay's.
- 23:50Speaker 2: Let me just share one quick experience in all this,
- 23:52Speaker 2: because I just want to mention there was another company
- 23:56Speaker 2: that was doing this kind of a contest and they
- 23:58Speaker 2: had the option of their particular hamburger, their big signature hamburger.
- 24:04Speaker 2: You could submit and guess a predict a flavor that
- 24:08Speaker 2: you thought people would like and they would want for
- 24:10Speaker 2: the to win the type of burger, and I submitted
- 24:13Speaker 2: one that I thought this would be a great idea
- 24:16Speaker 2: for a burger, and I submitted it. I laid out
- 24:19Speaker 2: all the flavorings of it. This is what you need
- 24:21Speaker 2: to do. My choice was a fried pickle version of
- 24:26Speaker 2: this burger with ranch dressing, and I had you know,
- 24:29Speaker 2: other stuff on there. Anyway, I go into the restaurant
- 24:33Speaker 2: one day and I see that I can purchase the
- 24:36Speaker 2: exact burger that I sent in the submission for and
- 24:40Speaker 2: somebody else won. So I don't know how that works.
- 24:44Speaker 2: Did somebody else submit the exact same burger that I did? Perhaps,
- 24:48Speaker 2: or perhaps I just didn't get my winnings.
- 24:51Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm confused. I'm going to give them
- 24:54Speaker 3: the benefit of the doubt.
- 24:54Speaker 2: I'm going to assume someone else submitted the exact same burger,
- 24:57Speaker 2: but I don't know how they do a tiebreaker.
- 24:58Speaker 3: How do you do that?
- 25:00Speaker 2: I thought my burger was unique and definitely a potential
- 25:06Speaker 2: winning burger. And you know what, when I ordered my
- 25:10Speaker 2: lunch on that particular day, I did not order that
- 25:12Speaker 2: burger because I'm sorry that was my idea. I'm gonna
- 25:17Speaker 2: give you somebody else's sale off.
- 25:19Speaker 3: Of my idea.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Should have tried it, though, because I thought it would
- 25:22Speaker 2: have been great. That's why I put it in there
- 25:24Speaker 2: in the first place. What's your panic percentage? Basically how
- 25:29Speaker 2: much battery you have on your phone right now?

- 25:36Speaker 2: does it get down to before you start panicking and
- 25:39Speaker 2: searching for a charger. A new survey by Talker researches
- 25:42Speaker 2: thirty eight percent is the point where most people start
- 25:45Speaker 2: to get nervous. This has become known as the panic percentage.
- 25:48Speaker 2: It also found thirty four percent of people are a
- 25:50Speaker 2: bit more calm and don't get nervous until battery drops
- 25:53Speaker 2: below twenty percent. Thirteen they say is the panic percentage.
- 25:57Speaker 2: Ten sorry, thirteen percent say ten percent is their panic percentage.
