Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews you need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
0:11
Speaker 2: Monday morning, seventh day of October. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:17
Speaker 2: joining me. We are at a very somber one year anniversary,
0:26
Speaker 2: and a year ago we know the horrific attacks that
0:30
Speaker 2: took place in Israel.
0:33
Speaker 3: We know that.
0:35
Speaker 2: Maybe for a few days there were people that said, oh,
0:38
Speaker 2: this is awful, this is horrible, the unspeakable things that
0:42
Speaker 2: took place to families, to children, to women, to the elderly.
0:50
Speaker 2: And then for some reason things took a strange turn
0:56
Speaker 2: and it became a about palace.
1:00
Speaker 3: Time in a lot of places.
1:02
Speaker 2: And I don't understand how terrorism turns to the justification
1:10
Speaker 2: of the terrorism as it pertains to what took place
1:16
Speaker 2: in Israel.
1:19
Speaker 3: One year ago.
1:21
Speaker 2: So we know right now there's certainly a bigger threat
1:27
Speaker 2: than what we probably would have even imagined. Then. We
1:29
Speaker 2: knew it was probably the beginnings of something. We didn't
1:32
Speaker 2: know exactly where it was going. There were concerns, there
1:35
Speaker 2: was talk a year ago about oh my gosh, is
1:38
Speaker 2: this leading.
1:38
Speaker 3: To World War three?
1:39
Speaker 2: Where is this going? What could possibly where could this
1:43
Speaker 2: all lead? And like I said, we know that it
1:49
Speaker 2: took a weird turn around the world, but we can
1:53
Speaker 2: specifically talk about here in the US. We can talk
1:56
Speaker 2: about the politics that happened that changed in some ways
2:04
Speaker 2: because of what happened a year ago, and not specifically
2:08
Speaker 2: what happened a year ago today, what took place in
2:11
Speaker 2: the weeks to follow a year ago, because protests in
2:17
Speaker 2: the US started to happen as groups that normally seemed
2:22
Speaker 2: to be doing the bidding in the will of the
2:24
Speaker 2: left showing up at events, protesting, you know, officer involved, shooting,
2:29
Speaker 2: show things that could be used for racial divide, things
2:32
Speaker 2: that could be used and I mean it's terrorism.
2:37
Speaker 3: It was.
2:38
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but many of the protests that turned violent
2:44
Speaker 2: in the US four years ago, and not even just
2:47
Speaker 2: four years ago, but especially four years ago during COVID,
2:51
Speaker 2: during that election cycle, it was terrorism. It was intended
2:55
Speaker 2: to scare people. It was intended to make sure that
2:57
Speaker 2: people knew that they shouldn't speak up if they were
3:00
Speaker 2: going to support candidates on the right. And I'm not
3:04
Speaker 2: just talking about Donald Trump. I'm talking about in the
3:06
Speaker 2: local elections or the state and district elections. They wanted
3:13
Speaker 2: you to know that you should be afraid that they
3:16
Speaker 2: were about something bigger than what you were about. I
3:21
Speaker 2: feel like now in America, we're feeling that that's different
3:25
Speaker 2: right now for a number of reasons. But we're, you know,
3:29
Speaker 2: a month out from the election, so we we got
3:32
Speaker 2: four weeks tomorrow, so we got time to talk more
3:35
Speaker 2: about all that, because it does it's starting to feel
3:38
Speaker 2: again like people are understanding that, you know, the economies
3:43
Speaker 2: at stake, the damage from record inflation, and just the
3:50
Speaker 2: general not being concerned about American citizens. First, it's starting
3:56
Speaker 2: to be very clear for a lot of people. But
3:59
Speaker 2: as we started to see universities running Jewish students off
4:03
Speaker 2: campus and not wanting them on campus to take their
4:06
Speaker 2: finals or to graduate, and protest popping up, and then
4:10
Speaker 2: we saw the left start to really cave to these
4:13
Speaker 2: people because I think there was some confusion. Hey, you
4:16
Speaker 2: kind of always worked with us, and now you're doing this,
4:20
Speaker 2: and you know, we have a lot of Jewish voters
4:22
Speaker 2: that have been with us for a long time. So uh,
4:26
Speaker 2: but we're going to side with you over them because
4:29
Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna hedge our bets.
4:32
Speaker 3: We don't want to upset you.
4:33
Speaker 2: They're gonna probably stick with us, because they usually do.
4:38
Speaker 2: That's another conversation, and I've told you my thoughts on
4:40
Speaker 2: that particular thing, but not wanting to upset those people
4:45
Speaker 2: who've been there for them for a long time, right,
4:49
Speaker 2: And what ended up happening as the year progressed and
4:54
Speaker 2: we started to see more evidence that they were not
4:57
Speaker 2: going to give in to this friend group on the left,
5:01
Speaker 2: this extreme group that I don't think really even understands
5:08
Speaker 2: anything about Palestine. I don't think they understand anything about
5:12
Speaker 2: what's taken place in Israel.
5:14
Speaker 3: Many of them don't.
5:15
Speaker 2: Some do.
5:16
Speaker 3: When you started to see the LGBTQ.
5:19
Speaker 2: Plus community saying we're pro Palestine, and you say, okay,
5:23
Speaker 2: well they would kill LGBTQ people.
5:29
Speaker 1: There.
5:29
Speaker 2: They do not want you there, even as a supporter,
5:35
Speaker 2: Whereas in Israel.
5:38
Speaker 3: You can be who you need to be.
5:41
Speaker 2: It's not, you know, in the Jewish traditions, but it's legal.
5:48
Speaker 3: And there's a lot of people that still don't understand that.
5:52
Speaker 2: And we got further and further into this election, and
5:55
Speaker 2: we know what happened now infamously to Biden, and then
5:58
Speaker 2: eventually what happened and for Kamala Harris as suddenly she
6:03
Speaker 2: was just handed the nomination and she had an opportunity.
6:08
Speaker 2: Or whoever's really running things. I know there's a shadow government.
6:12
Speaker 2: Somebody's back there making the decisions. Whoever it is, someone
6:17
Speaker 2: that we didn't elect, is making the calls. They were
6:20
Speaker 2: the ones who decided Biden was not going to be
6:22
Speaker 2: the candidate. They were the ones that decided Harris would.
6:25
Speaker 2: They're the ones that decided we can just she's got
6:28
Speaker 2: a name because she's the VP. She's a woman of color,
6:33
Speaker 2: whether it's Indian or black, that's you know, depends on
6:36
Speaker 2: the day, the audience, whatever. I don't know, but I mean,
6:40
Speaker 2: I think we should be celebrating racial diversity anyway. I
6:46
Speaker 2: don't understand why Barack Obama wasn't referred to as biracial.
6:49
Speaker 2: That's becoming a growing thing among the biracial community. They're saying, hey,
6:55
Speaker 2: why can't we celebrate both. Why are you trying to
6:57
Speaker 2: go back to slave day language and say that if
7:00
Speaker 2: I'm if part of me is black, then I must
7:02
Speaker 2: be black anyway, conversation for other people to have. I
7:07
Speaker 2: think we should be celebrating, you know, if she's she's
7:10
Speaker 2: a Indian and Jamaican descent, celebrate being biracial. Why not
7:17
Speaker 2: living your whole life being Indian and then for political
7:20
Speaker 2: reasons saying that you're biracial or that you're black, not
7:23
Speaker 2: even biracial anymore. I don't know, but that's so don't know,
7:26
Speaker 2: like Trump there didn't mean to. But my point is
7:30
Speaker 2: that was the pick. Somebody made that call. It's going
7:33
Speaker 2: to be her. We're going to have her be the
7:35
Speaker 2: pick because it's going to help us because Trump's taking
7:38
Speaker 2: a lot of the black vote. A lot of black
7:40
Speaker 2: people in America are going, wait a minute, we got
7:43
Speaker 2: promising as we're going to get better for us, and
7:45
Speaker 2: they did not. They got worse and can't afford to
7:50
Speaker 2: feed my family and can't afford to, you know, pay
7:53
Speaker 2: the bills, and I'm struggling and I didn't get a
7:57
Speaker 2: raise and the cost of everything went up in this
8:00
Speaker 2: This is hard. This is not where we were promised
8:03
Speaker 2: we would be. So someone decided we got a black
8:07
Speaker 2: woman here, she's going to be the candidate, and that's
8:09
Speaker 2: going to bring it all back. And a lot of
8:11
Speaker 2: people are like, she ain't us, she is not us. Sorry, Nope,
8:16
Speaker 2: that is not someone to bring in to fix problems
8:20
Speaker 2: for us because she could fix them now and she's
8:23
Speaker 2: not fixing them, so that's not it. And then there
8:26
Speaker 2: was this danger of oh my gosh, she's going to
8:29
Speaker 2: pick a The best most logical choice for VP was
8:36
Speaker 2: Shapiro in Pennsylvania and he's Jewish, and everybody said, oh,
8:43
Speaker 2: this is going to get interesting. She is going to potentially,
8:49
Speaker 2: you know, really take command in a battleground state that
8:53
Speaker 2: she needs to win for any chance of winning the
8:58
Speaker 2: presidency if she would just make the right pick. So
9:01
Speaker 2: what does she do. She picks Tim Walls out of Minnesota.
9:05
Speaker 2: So what happened a year ago today certainly is there
9:12
Speaker 2: to have made some sort of influence in this.
9:15
Speaker 3: I don't know.
9:16
Speaker 2: If these attacks on Israel on October seventh a year ago,
9:22
Speaker 2: I don't know that we wouldn't have even possibly seen
9:27
Speaker 2: a different pick for VP. A lot of things could
9:31
Speaker 2: have been different. And we're now at a point where
9:36
Speaker 2: changing gears a little bit, because let's be honest, the
9:40
Speaker 2: Left is banking on Jewish voters to just vote like
9:44
Speaker 2: they were.
9:44
Speaker 3: Going to vote anyway.
9:46
Speaker 2: They don't care if you feel like they're with you
9:49
Speaker 2: or not. They just feel like you're locked in. See
9:54
Speaker 2: the left is very good about saying, our supporters are
9:56
Speaker 2: going to vote our way no matter what, doesn't matter.
9:59
Speaker 2: You know, we got to do a little bit to
10:01
Speaker 2: make sure the fringe people on the extreme left are
10:03
Speaker 2: still with us, and we've got to try to pick
10:05
Speaker 2: up the people in the middle. They feel like Black Americans,
10:09
Speaker 2: Hispanic Americans, Jewish Americans are locks. They don't have to
10:13
Speaker 2: do anything, they don't have to change anything. They're just
10:15
Speaker 2: going to get you. You're going to vote for them
10:18
Speaker 2: no matter what. They can't do anything to change your
10:22
Speaker 2: opinion on them. That's really how they feel. I can
10:27
Speaker 2: tell you that behind the scenes, that's how they feel.
10:29
Speaker 2: It's a lock. You're not going to change anything. They
10:33
Speaker 2: dare you to change anything about it because you're.
10:35
Speaker 3: Not going to do it.
10:37
Speaker 2: And then now we've had we have another hurricane looming,
10:43
Speaker 2: hurricane situation looming for Florida. First of all, before this,
10:48
Speaker 2: and I know it's already kind of shifted gears.
10:51
Speaker 3: This has become a.
10:51
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, the climate changes. We're in hurricane season. Yes,
11:00
Speaker 2: Helene did a lot of damage, especially as it got
11:03
Speaker 2: more inland. That's what happens sometimes when slow moving hurricanes
11:10
Speaker 2: get on land and just sit there and they dump
11:13
Speaker 2: a lot of water and they do a lot of
11:14
Speaker 2: damage and destruction. We have parts of the country that
11:17
Speaker 2: are struggling. There's days where we hear things are getting
11:23
Speaker 2: a little better, and then there's days where we hear, nope,
11:25
Speaker 2: there's no improvement. The Carolinas are obviously struggling, especially western
11:31
Speaker 2: part of North Carolina.
11:33
Speaker 3: It's bad. It's bad in the southeast.
11:36
Speaker 2: And with another potential Category three hurricane coming especially that's
11:43
Speaker 2: gonna come right back into that Tampa area. I've got
11:48
Speaker 2: a friend in the Tampa area who basically lost almost everything,
11:55
Speaker 2: and what little bit they still have, they decided, we're
11:58
Speaker 2: going to pack all of this up and we're going
12:02
Speaker 2: to get out of Tampa. That's what we need to
12:04
Speaker 2: do right now. What little bit we still have that
12:07
Speaker 2: means something to us, that has any value to us,
12:10
Speaker 2: We're getting it out of Tampa along with ourselves because
12:14
Speaker 2: we can't stay here. This one might be worse, it's
12:17
Speaker 2: probably going to be worse, but we're in a hurricane season.
12:22
Speaker 2: Hurricanes happen. The people that are making the knee jerk, well,
12:27
Speaker 2: this is clearly a sign of environmental issues and climate
12:32
Speaker 2: change or it's weather. It's interesting, isn't that we get
12:38
Speaker 2: told when you know, we have an unseasonably cool summer,
12:47
Speaker 2: when the temperatures drop and it's a little bit cooler,
12:49
Speaker 2: and people say, oh, well, I thought climate change is
12:52
Speaker 2: supposed to get hotter, And they say, no, no, no, no,
12:54
Speaker 2: this is just weather. It's cooler when it's it's weather.
12:58
Speaker 2: When it gets cooler and it's supposed to be summer,
13:00
Speaker 2: that's just weather. That's not climate. Is the overall you
13:04
Speaker 2: got to look at, you know, the last one hundred
13:06
Speaker 2: years or whatever. Yet, when there's a season when there's
13:12
Speaker 2: two hurricanes that hit basically the same area and this happened,
13:15
Speaker 2: you know, obviously it's happened in New Orleans, it's happened
13:17
Speaker 2: in Houston. It's happened to both at the same time.
13:21
Speaker 2: Talk about storms that just sat there and dumped a
13:23
Speaker 2: bunch of water on people. But here we are, in
13:27
Speaker 2: this phase of trying to make things better. We know
13:30
Speaker 2: that the dock workers strike happened at a time when
13:36
Speaker 2: people were already struggling. I understand that when you are,
13:44
Speaker 2: you know, part of this union of employees and you think, man,
13:47
Speaker 2: this is our opportunity to get something done. But when
13:51
Speaker 2: it's while other people are suffering, that's where you draw
13:54
Speaker 2: the line, right, that's or that's where I draw the line.
13:56
Speaker 2: That's where you're crossing a line because and you know
14:01
Speaker 2: that's that's really that's really awful. People were hurting badly
14:08
Speaker 2: when this strike started. They were hurting badly. And I
14:14
Speaker 2: don't know if you've seen the remarks that came from
14:17
Speaker 2: Governor DeSantis, but you know he was prepared. Had this
14:21
Speaker 2: thing not gotten to the as resolved as it is now,
14:25
Speaker 2: he was ready to bring in the National Guard, the
14:28
Speaker 2: Florida Guard. He was ready to bring in and say
14:30
Speaker 2: we're gonna do it. We're gonna put them to work.
14:32
Speaker 2: We're gonna get these things unloaded because people need help.
14:34
Speaker 2: This is this is about more than greed. This is
14:38
Speaker 2: about more than folks wanting to get a raise and
14:40
Speaker 2: not let automation take their jobs. But to find out
14:47
Speaker 2: that FEMA and our federal government are basically saying there's
14:53
Speaker 2: nothing we can do for this next hurricane. We're out
14:56
Speaker 2: of money. Where's the money. It's it's not your money,
15:01
Speaker 2: it's our money. Where's the money, where's the money that
15:07
Speaker 2: you've had? What happened to it. And when you find
15:10
Speaker 2: out that the money has gone to the migrant crisis,
15:15
Speaker 2: folks coming across the border illegally in many cases, and
15:19
Speaker 2: you think, well, that's not who the money's for. See,
15:23
Speaker 2: it's our money. We should have it for ourselves if
15:29
Speaker 2: we need it, or our other citizens. See people of
15:32
Speaker 2: North Carolina who seem to be hit the worst, and
15:36
Speaker 2: it's not. You know, there's a lot of people that
15:38
Speaker 2: are hit bad. But that's the area that a lot
15:41
Speaker 2: of the focus is on right now. They contributed, taxpayers
15:46
Speaker 2: contributed to money, and in many cases they're not even
15:50
Speaker 2: going to get their money back. So where's the money?
15:54
Speaker 2: And then we start hearing stories about, Hey, Israel attacked Lebanon.
16:01
Speaker 2: We need to send money to Lebanon and help them.
16:03
Speaker 2: In fact, we're gonna sit This is from Kamala Harris
16:07
Speaker 2: from the VP. We're gonna send more money to Lebanon
16:09
Speaker 2: than we're gonna send to North Carolina.
16:12
Speaker 3: What what We're.
16:16
Speaker 2: Gonna send more money overseas. See, when we hit a
16:20
Speaker 2: point of national emergency, there should be something in place,
16:25
Speaker 2: shouldn't there that says maybe we need to focus on
16:29
Speaker 2: American citizens. That's the problem we're at now, isn't it.
16:33
Speaker 2: We sit there and don't get me wrong, four and
16:35
Speaker 2: eight is great. I think we have allies in the
16:38
Speaker 2: world that we should be working with. I think we
16:42
Speaker 2: have parts of the world where we are trying to
16:45
Speaker 2: prop up or help governments along. But at a time
16:51
Speaker 2: when we the people need funds and the funds just
16:57
Speaker 2: aren't there, we have to start asking the question of
17:01
Speaker 2: why aren't the funds there? Where are the funds? Imagine
17:04
Speaker 2: running your home this way. Imagine having a situation where
17:09
Speaker 2: you have to pay.
17:11
Speaker 3: Your bills.
17:14
Speaker 2: Every month, and then suddenly you find out you're paying
17:17
Speaker 2: someone else's bills. And then and you got five people
17:23
Speaker 2: living in the backyard and you're paying their bills and
17:27
Speaker 2: you didn't even really get a say in it. Somebody
17:29
Speaker 2: decided that they were just going to take it out
17:31
Speaker 2: of your monthly budget for your family, and they were
17:34
Speaker 2: going to take care of them and this other family.
17:38
Speaker 2: And then your family has a crisis, and then your
17:41
Speaker 2: family has an emergency. Maybe the roof collapses on your
17:45
Speaker 2: home and you need to fix the roof, and there's
17:47
Speaker 2: no money for it, and you have to go to
17:50
Speaker 2: the people who took your money and say, I need
17:51
Speaker 2: the money to fix my roof, and they say, ah,
17:53
Speaker 2: we're out, and guess what, whatever caused your roof to collapse.
17:58
Speaker 2: There's going to be another one coming figure it out,
18:03
Speaker 2: and we're going to send more money to another family
18:05
Speaker 2: somewhere else. People in North Carolina are struggling. I hope
18:11
Speaker 2: that they're going to be in a position where they're
18:13
Speaker 2: even able to vote in a month. That's a question.
18:16
Speaker 2: Maybe we need to start asking are they going to
18:18
Speaker 2: be able to do that. It's going to be a
18:20
Speaker 2: key state in this election, and I don't know how
18:24
Speaker 2: anyone who lives there could sit back with what they're
18:27
Speaker 2: dealing with and think, yeah, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.
18:32
Speaker 3: Are looking out for us.
18:34
Speaker 2: I don't want to just make it about politics. Is
18:36
Speaker 2: more than that. It's way more than that. But imagine
18:39
Speaker 2: how you would feel if they weren't looking out for you.
18:45
Speaker 2: They were looking out for people who might be voting
18:47
Speaker 2: in four years. They were looking out for other countries
18:51
Speaker 2: around the world, but mainly they're looking out for people
18:55
Speaker 2: who might be voting in four years. Today's show brought
18:57
Speaker 2: to you by Coalmas State Universities, Coca Colas Space Science Center,
19:01
Speaker 2: Inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and
19:07
Speaker 2: STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean
19:11
Speaker 2: they do it for school age kids as school age
19:14
Speaker 2: kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they
19:17
Speaker 2: also do it through their university programs where you can
19:20
Speaker 2: learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and
19:26
Speaker 2: STEM fields are booming right now. And you can learn
19:29
Speaker 2: more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC
19:36
Speaker 2: dot org. While you're there, also check out some of
19:40
Speaker 2: their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they
19:45
Speaker 2: do with the Schwobe School of Music from Columbus State
19:47
Speaker 2: University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert
19:51
Speaker 2: experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of
19:54
Speaker 2: those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
19:57
Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
20:00
Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
20:05
Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space

20:33
Speaker 2: on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan
20:37
Speaker 2: says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind
20:42

20:46
Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
20:50
Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage door needs,
20:53
Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
20:59
Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
21:03
Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
21:07
Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
21:10
Speaker 2: square in that away for you, and while they're there,
21:12
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
21:14
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
21:18
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
21:21
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
21:23
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
21:26
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
21:30
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
21:33
Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
21:37
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
21:40
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
21:43
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
21:46
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
21:49
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
21:52
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
21:54
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
21:56
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
21:58
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
22:01
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
22:04
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
22:07
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
22:10
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
22:13
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty five
22:16
Speaker 2: hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred
22:19
Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning.
22:23
Speaker 3: Show right after the break.
22:33
Speaker 2: Well, anyone who's a parent of a teenager or even
22:38
Speaker 2: a college age kid, is aware that or preteen and
22:45
Speaker 2: really preteens also for many some even under ten, but
22:49
Speaker 2: that's another story altogether. Know, the challenges of keeping your
22:54
Speaker 2: kids focused in off of their phones for any period
22:59
Speaker 2: of time time really is there's challenges and hurdles that
23:03
Speaker 2: come with that. Now, imagine in the classroom where teachers
23:07
Speaker 2: all around the world. Not all around the world, I'm
23:10
Speaker 2: sure it's a bigger problem in some countries than others. However,
23:13
Speaker 2: we know that some teachers have a real challenge of
23:16
Speaker 2: keeping kids off the phone, especially at the college level.
23:21
Speaker 2: Think about it, They're adults. Should be able to have
23:24
Speaker 2: their phones out right if they want to. They're adults. Well, now,
23:31
Speaker 2: apparently there's a study out of Southern Illinois University and
23:35
Speaker 2: it's found that giving students short scheduled phone breaks during
23:41
Speaker 2: lectures can actually boost their grades and keep.
23:43
Speaker 3: Them more focused.
23:45
Speaker 2: Instead of an out right banning of the phones, researchers
23:49
Speaker 2: tried something different, letting college students have one minute tech
23:53
Speaker 2: breaks to check their phones, and surprisingly the tiny breaks
23:58
Speaker 2: led to less overall use in class and to better
24:03
Speaker 2: test scores. Maybe they're onto something there might even help
24:07
Speaker 2: them learn some moderation with the phones, because that's really
24:10
Speaker 2: the challenge when you're dealing with teenagers trying to teach
24:15
Speaker 2: a moderation with it. How would you like.
24:18
Speaker 3: To know how long you're going to live? Well?
24:20
Speaker 2: Scientists say that in the near future, a simple cheek
24:22
Speaker 2: swab can predict how long you'll live. Researchers found that
24:26
Speaker 2: DNA tests, originally meant to measure biological aging from cheek cells,
24:32
Speaker 2: can actually predict your mortality risk. The discovery could lead
24:37
Speaker 2: to new ways to check health risks and develop anti
24:40
Speaker 2: aging treatments. You know, it's like anything, I can see
24:46
Speaker 2: where there could be some positives to this. I could
24:49
Speaker 2: also see where there would be some negatives. Could you
24:53
Speaker 2: see this becoming such norm that it happens to a
24:57
Speaker 2: brand newborn baby and they go, this kid's gonna have
25:02
Speaker 2: some problems as a small child. Maybe we shouldn't put
25:07
Speaker 2: him through that. Sorry to be the one to bring
25:11
Speaker 2: that up, but that's just you have to consider all options.
25:15
Speaker 2: With some of these discoveries. I can see where it
25:17
Speaker 2: could be a positive for an adult. Maybe it's something
25:21
Speaker 2: that you want to start testing at eighteen and up,
25:25
Speaker 2: you know, not forcing a child to get it. Maybe
25:27
Speaker 2: having restrictions in place where you can't do it. But
25:32
Speaker 2: information certainly could be good. Maybe it lets you know
25:34
Speaker 2: some of the things that you should be eating differently,
25:36
Speaker 2: or you know, not eating at all, those kinds of things.
25:40
Speaker 2: There's been a lot of focus on the loneliness epidemic
25:43
Speaker 2: in the country and how detrimental it is to mental health,
25:45
Speaker 2: and a new study from UCLA is offering more proof
25:49
Speaker 2: of the need to be social that A study found
25:51
Speaker 2: that for young adults, especially those who are single, having
25:55
Speaker 2: good friends is a major key to happiness. Researchers found
25:58
Speaker 2: that those who are happiest to have strong, satisfying friendships,
26:02
Speaker 2: while those who aren't as happy often lack this connection.
26:07
Speaker 2: The study analyzed responses from single adults between the ages
26:11
Speaker 2: of eighteen and twenty four and found that friendships satisfaction
26:15
Speaker 2: was a big predictor of overall happiness. All right, now,
26:20
Speaker 2: here's one that.
26:23
Speaker 3: I mean kind of hits us close to home. Here.
26:28
Speaker 2: You probably have some of those black utensils in your kitchen,
26:33
Speaker 2: black plastic you know. Well, here's the deal. They say
26:38
Speaker 2: those utensils and take out food containers and other common
26:42
Speaker 2: items from a similar type of plastic can be toxic.
26:48
Speaker 2: They say it has up to twenty twenty eight hundred
26:50
Speaker 2: parts per million of bromine, which they use it to
26:54
Speaker 2: make flame retardants, and they say that's way more than
26:59
Speaker 2: you would want touching your food. Potential health problems could
27:03
Speaker 2: include intocrine disruption, carcinogenicity that's a new one for me, neurotoxicity,
27:12
Speaker 2: and reproductive and developmental toxicity. Turns out one big problem
27:17
Speaker 2: is recycling. When you recycle something like a TV, the
27:20
Speaker 2: plastic casing is often recycled into these kitchen items. Yuck,
27:29
Speaker 2: got to go through some kitchen is just the spoons mainly,
27:34
Speaker 2: that's what we have, the spoons and then the spoons
27:38
Speaker 2: with the holes, you know, all right, a new beauty trend,
27:44
Speaker 2: of course, I guess it's been going on for a while,
27:46
Speaker 2: but it's really had an uptick. The collagen face mask
27:50
Speaker 2: that people wear to bed and hopes of preventing sagging
27:52
Speaker 2: and wrinkles that come with age. They start out opaque,
27:56
Speaker 2: become translucent as your skin presumably absorbs the colleen from
28:00
Speaker 2: the masks. Problem is doesn't help your collagen levels because
28:05
Speaker 2: collagen is produced on a cellular level, and a topical
28:09
Speaker 2: application isn't going to infuse yourselves with anything. But the
28:12
Speaker 2: masks aren't completely useless. They do help with short term
28:15
Speaker 2: hydration of the skin, so some benefit. It's just not
28:20
Speaker 2: doing anything for your collagen. That's all. That'll do it
28:24
Speaker 2: for this Monday edition of the show. Thanks to our
28:26
Speaker 2: sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch you
28:29
Speaker 2: back here tomorrow morning.
