Transcript
- 0:01The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start your day.
- 0:06You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show. Monday morning, eleventh day
- 0:12of December. I'm West Thanks for kicking off your week with me. It's
- 0:19a big week. We're two weeks to Christmas, so basically at this point
- 0:25and we're now beginning use a little theater talk here for you, tech Week
- 0:30for the Nutcrackers show that'll happen here in Columbus as we do the show out
- 0:37of the Chattahooche Valley area and we'll kick off tech week. Get ready for
- 0:41the show this weekend. We got three shows. One is a school show
- 0:46not open to the public. But if you have kids that are say,
- 0:49oh we're doing a field trip to see the Nutcracker on Friday, that's it.
- 0:53That's the show. That's what they're coming to. So we'll be doing
- 0:55that show on Friday morning. If I see you at some point over the
- 1:00course of the day on Friday after the school show, which is in the
- 1:06morning, I will probably still be in my mother ginger makeup. Just a
- 1:11heads up if you see me driving around town. I don't get out a
- 1:15whole lot when I'm in makeup. I do pick my kids up from school
- 1:23in the makeup, probably in a hat and sunglasses. You know, it's
- 1:26not really I'm not out making a statement of any kind. That's not it.
- 1:33I just don't like scraping the thick pancake makeup off my face and then
- 1:40having to reapply it later. And I have a friend, Jana, who
- 1:46is doing my makeup this year. In the past, my friend Sarah has
- 1:49done it. Sarah's not available this weekend, so Jana is doing it,
- 1:52and I like Friday morning, she'll put it on for the show. I'll
- 1:57have it on during the day, and then Friday night we have a full
- 2:01dress rehearsal. I need to make up on for that, so it just
- 2:06makes sense to not scrape it off. I'll scrape it off that night,
- 2:08and then I'll she'll put it on again for me on Saturday, and we'll
- 2:14get ready for the Mother Ginger Tea party at twelve thirty at the River Center,
- 2:20and that's gonna be we'll come back to that in a second, but
- 2:23I'll have it on from then until the evening show on Saturday. So again,
- 2:30you know, I'll probably you know, leave the theater for a bit
- 2:34don't need to be there all day, leave for a bit in the makeup.
- 2:38So if you happen to see me driving around or you see somebody with
- 2:42a you know, glittery beer driving around again, I'm not making a statement.
- 2:46That's not what I'm doing. I'm just I don't want to scrape it
- 2:49off and have to put it back on again or have you know bother Janet
- 2:52to put it back on again. So that'll be the Saturday show and then
- 2:57Sunday I'll scrape it off that night and Sunday jan Is going to put it
- 3:01on again that morning, and then I'll go do the matinee show at two
- 3:07thirty. So that's the breakdown. That's basically the way the weekend is going
- 3:10to play out for me. And then after the two thirty show, I'll
- 3:14scrape the makeup off again, you know, wash out all the glitter is.
- 3:20You got to do that. I got the glitter and the beard again.
- 3:23It's not about making a statement other than I'm just trying to be the
- 3:25best mother Ginger I can be for this show. But we start a tech
- 3:30week, which means we move into the theater this week and we start doing
- 3:34our rehearsals there, and we got a busy week ahead of us, so
- 3:39I got a couple of days off before I jump in with having to be
- 3:46there. My next call times in a couple of days, so I got
- 3:50that at least no danger of you seeing me in the makeup really before.
- 3:53I don't know, I may do a promo thing or something before that,
- 3:58but right now, the only danger of seeing me in the makeup is going
- 4:01to be on a Friday or Saturday driving around or I guess leaving the theater
- 4:08on Sunday, because that could happen too in the tea party event we're doing.
- 4:13This is the first time we've done this, and it's an opportunity for
- 4:15especially if you've got little ones who kind of maybe they've been to The Nutcracker
- 4:23or you're trying to introduce them to the show. This is a good way
- 4:26to introduce them to some of the characters up close and personal. Think about
- 4:30it, like, I'm not using let's just say a big theme part I
- 4:36don't want to specifically, but a big theme park that does these character meals
- 4:43where you get to, you know, have a meal and the characters come
- 4:45in. That's that's basically what we're going to be doing in some form,
- 4:49but we got some other stuff planned and I'll be in full character for this
- 4:54show. So you can get your tickets for the Nutcracker performances or for the
- 4:59tea party go through the Columbus Ballet dot org. That's the website, the
- 5:02Columbus Ballet dot org. And only get your tickets for the ballet really through
- 5:09there or through the River Center's box office. If you get tickets for the
- 5:13tea party event, then you will get a discount on your tickets for the
- 5:17Nutcrackers. So if you're trying to do the double, you can do it
- 5:20that way, and that that's also a nice little touch to go with it.
- 5:26All Right, So that's this weekend and I'll be talking about it more.
- 5:29But we'd love to see you at at both one or both of the
- 5:33events. We'd love to see you at both. Really, I'm really looking
- 5:38forward to unleashing this case because I this is my first time speaking in the
- 5:45role of Mother Ginger. Because it's a ballet. You don't speak in a
- 5:46ballet. I've been a narrator for the show before. That's different. That's
- 5:53basically this is this is what I sound like, is the narrator, Well,
- 5:55I do it a little differently, but you know, this is this
- 5:58is basically what you're getting. Mother Ginger has got her own personality, and
- 6:02she's clearly the biggest star in the Nutcracker, you know, clearly. I
- 6:08don't think anybody could dispute that, can they? All Right, So I
- 6:12want to talk with you about oh oh oh, and quickly the Columbus State
- 6:16graduation. I want to thank them again for letting me be part of the
- 6:20graduation ceremony. I went to Columbus State, I'm a Columbus State graduate.
- 6:27I enjoy it. I've been doing it since. I believe the first year
- 6:30I did it was the December graduation of twenty seventeen. I think that's right.
- 6:36So obviously this is you know, six years of doing this, and
- 6:41I have enjoyed it every time. It was a little scary the first time.
- 6:45I didn't know what I was getting into, but I really enjoyed being
- 6:48a part of it every single time. This past Friday was no exception.
- 6:55I just really enjoy the opportunity to meet the graduates, and I meet just
- 7:01about everyone. That's part of how I do the job. When people say
- 7:05how do you do all those names. I meet them all and I talk
- 7:09to them, and I asked them how they'd like their name said, and
- 7:12I make notes so that when I call their name, I'm getting it.
- 7:16As trying to do the best I can to get everyone right. If you've
- 7:20ever done any kind of public speaking, you know there's always a possibility with
- 7:25a live microphone, of any circumstance, you can get it wrong. You
- 7:29know, God knows. I've done it. I've done it on this show.
- 7:31I've done it on radio. I've done it on TV. I've done
- 7:34I've made mistakes. I've done it in print. Print's the worst because it's
- 7:39permanent then, right, I mean radio, it's permanent, it's out there,
- 7:42But in print you can go back and look at it again and go,
- 7:44oh, why not do that one? Somebody could approved it for me.
- 7:50But I know that I missed a few. I know that there was
- 7:56one I missed, and I corrected it kind of on stage. But I
- 8:01did my best. As always, I like to feel like I'm at least
- 8:03hitting in the high ninety percent range. I think I did that again.
- 8:07But I really appreciate them letting me be a part of it. I look
- 8:11at it that way. I enjoy it. I enjoy doing it. I
- 8:15appreciate the challenge of it. I enjoy meeting all of those graduates as they
- 8:20prepare to walk across the stage. Sometimes I get just a couple of minutes
- 8:24to hear their story and see their excitement. Some of them it's very much
- 8:28a business transaction. Let me get through here. I want to get out
- 8:31the door. I'm done, let's go. Some are just ready to take
- 8:35in the day and excite it about it. There was one graduate in particular,
- 8:41said, nobody ever gets it right. She's graduated. This was a
- 8:46master's degree she was getting, I think, And she said yeah, before
- 8:48they screwed it up badly, and I was like, I'll get it today,
- 8:52and I did. I was really excited for her that I was able
- 8:54to get it right that day. So anyway, I appreciate Columbus State for
- 8:58letting me be a part of it. All right, So I just want
- 9:01to talk today. I went to over the weekend a new grocery store that
- 9:07opened, I guess late last week. New store, very nice, fantastic
- 9:16store. Bumped into some friends that were in the store, and a conversation
- 9:20with Ann and I just mentioned this because we talked briefly about they were buying,
- 9:26you know, a large amount of groceries in the store. I just
- 9:30needed a few things for a couple of meals. We had a few meals
- 9:33we planned last week that got delayed to this week, so we had most
- 9:37of what we needed for our groceries for the week. And I'd gotten a
- 9:41few things at another store already, and I was in there to get a
- 9:46few specific things at this store. So I saw them, and they had
- 9:50a full cart and they were just basically dreading getting to the register, and
- 9:54they were like, you know, this is going to be so much,
- 9:58and they were buying a lot of really help healthy food, a lot of
- 10:00fresh, healthy food, vegetables. I teased them a little bit, but
- 10:05I'm really jealous that that's what And they had their kids with them, and
- 10:07they're like, you know, we're doing and we try here, we do.
- 10:13I mean, and truthfully, most of what I bought there yesterday was
- 10:16vegetables. But we try for the sake of our kids and ourselves. And
- 10:20I've shared many times over the years my weight loss story. I lost a
- 10:26lot of weight over a period from Easter until Thanksgiving, one year. I
- 10:33guess I probably continue to really lose after that, but I was very strict
- 10:39on my calorie counting in that phase and lost a lot of weight. I've
- 10:46kept most of that weight off, and you know, it's been getting close
- 10:52to ten years. I guess it's been quite a while since that. Starting
- 10:54part of it was, Hey, I wanted to do this for my kids.
- 10:56I wanted them I didn't want them to remember me the size I was
- 11:01when I started. So we do make an effort here. We we try
- 11:05to do all of those things, but it's it can be very expensive to
- 11:09buy healthy foods. It's more expensive now than it was during the last administration.
- 11:16And every time I talk to someone and they talk about the price of
- 11:18groceries or the price of gas, inevitably I end up saying, especially if
- 11:24I know it's I don't want it to be like a jab. I don't
- 11:28want it to be something that when I say it, I don't want it
- 11:31to be antagonistic in any way. I'm not just that's just not me.
- 11:37I do this show, I have this platform to say what I want to
- 11:43say. I don't feel that I'm overly controversial on this show. I have
- 11:48been, you know, pegged for that in the past at times. But
- 11:54that's another story. But I don't. I don't feel like I'm saying anything
- 11:58overly overly drastic. I have a very open mind to hearing the other side
- 12:03of things, and I also have an attitude of I think it's we're in
- 12:09a serious place right now as a society, as a planet, where we
- 12:13don't have empathy anymore, we don't look to other people's feelings very much anymore.
- 12:20When we do claim that we're looking to support other people's feelings, I
- 12:24think it's this very false nobility that we're doing. It's this we're trying to
- 12:33take some sort of grandeur glory for oh look at me. I care about
- 12:37other people's feelings as long as they're the right feelings, because we don't often
- 12:43lift up or support people that disagree with us. We just don't do that.
- 12:48And I try not to be antagonistic. I don't want to be somebody
- 12:50who's out in public just constantly taking jabs and shots at people. You don't
- 12:54agree with me on things, you don't vote the way that I vote,
- 12:58it's not a big deal. You can go do what you want to do.
- 13:01I get frustrated when I feel like people are doing things that are intentionally
- 13:05hurtful to the country, intentionally hurtful to other taxpayers and other voters. And
- 13:13I think we're getting close to a point with this next election where this is
- 13:16going to bubble over. I'm going to try not to let it bubble over
- 13:20for me. But my point is when I see someone and we're in the
- 13:22store and they say, oh my gosh, it's so expensive now, and
- 13:26I just say, hey, elections have consequences. That's where we are right
- 13:30now. We know, back to the wrong horse. Some of us did
- 13:35record numbers of voters turned out thanks to COVID. Somehow we had a pandemic
- 13:41going on. We had more people than have ever voted in the history of
- 13:43voting, and that somehow happened. And who knows what's going to happen with
- 13:50this new virus in China. Is it getting ready to come here and force
- 13:54us to use the same voting techniques again. That made a lot of people
- 13:58scratch their head and say, I don't know how the selection turn out the
- 14:00way it did, But you know, we backed the wrong horse. We
- 14:05got a real raw deal. We had basically a president in who the economy
- 14:11was going great, COVID came along the other side, said we're going to
- 14:15use this to get rid of him. We hate his guts. He was
- 14:18supposed to step out of the way and let Hillary have it. He didn't
- 14:20do that. He didn't know his role, and he doesn't listen to us
- 14:24when we tell him what he's supposed to do every day. So we got
- 14:28to get rid of him, and let's use COVID, even if we got
- 14:31to tank our own economy to do it. There are people that was the
- 14:33mindset. There are This isn't a conspiracy theory. There's people that that was
- 14:37the mindset, and for some dumb reason, they've continued to tank the economy.
- 14:41They've continued to do things to prevent growth, and they're taking credit for
- 14:46things. This current president we have now says, oh, look at all
- 14:48the jobs I created. They're just jobs that came back after you know,
- 14:54his party did everything they could all across the country to shut everything down,
- 15:00to shut everything down, which ultimately costs jobs. It costs careers, it
- 15:03costs family businesses, It costs a lot of people their health care, It
- 15:09cost people their lives in some cases, depression, It cost us in education.
- 15:13There's so many ways that it cost us. It did so many ways,
- 15:20and now he's going to go, look, we got everything is great.
- 15:22Everything, we're back on track. The jobs are coming back. Look
- 15:26at all the jobs that I made. And it's not an acknowledgment that,
- 15:31Hey, this was just a raw deal that we all got. And let's
- 15:37be real for a minute. We're bouncing back, because eventually you're going to
- 15:39bounce back. I am a little concerned about what's going to happen next year.
- 15:43I don't know. Are we going to get another position where we're going
- 15:46to have this new mystery virus from China that is all of a sudden going
- 15:54to be here. Is that coming? Are we going to do this all
- 15:56over again? The timing of this, it's basically mid December. You know,
- 16:03we weren't aware of the COVID virus four years ago at this point they
- 16:12were. We did what we did with all the others. We said,
- 16:15ah, bird flu and swine flu and killer bees and murder hornets. Ah,
- 16:22we're fine, it'll be all right. We're not worried about it.
- 16:26You know, we're not going to deal with that. It's not going to
- 16:27get us and they never get us. And then all of a sudden it
- 16:32was January and February and we're going, oh, this is going to be
- 16:36a problem. We're hearing about this all over the world. This is bad.
- 16:38Please tell me we're not getting ready to do this all over again.
- 16:41And just remember that even if it happens again, elections have consequences. Yes,
- 16:49we have to make sure that everybody is as safe as possible. We
- 16:52can't hand a second term to Joe Biden. Okay, we just can't do
- 16:57that. We can't. And the economy has to be the issue. It
- 17:03has to be that. It's the economy, stupid, That's where we have
- 17:07to be. It's inflation, it's the economy. It's gas prices. It's
- 17:10all that it has to be. And if we're not paying attention and we
- 17:15let this happen to us again, I don't know where we're going to be.
- 17:18I don't know where we're going to be four years from that. I
- 17:21don't know what it's going to look like. I'm just trying to hang on
- 17:23for another year and a month. I mean, that's basically where I am.
- 17:27How do we get to January twentieth of twenty twenty five. How do
- 17:33we get to that right, How do we get to that point where we
- 17:37can start getting things back on track. That's what I think we have to
- 17:41just hang on to. We have to try to figure out how to get
- 17:44there. And yes, it's not just the economy, but that's a big
- 17:48it's got to be big. But you know what else affects our economy?
- 17:51Immigration, people running across the border, people coming in. Hearing more and
- 17:57more about military aid, Chinese nationals coming across the border, sneaking in,
- 18:03going through like Ecuador or whatever, and coming across the board. We should
- 18:07be paying attention to that. Why are they coming over? What is the
- 18:11purpose? Who are they? Why don't we know who they are? Why
- 18:15don't we understand what they're here for? Why aren't we having these conversations with
- 18:21them? Why are we allowing anyone to just come in and put us in
- 18:23danger? Why? Why? Why? It's the economy stupid? And yes,
- 18:29immigration is part of that, people coming into the country illegally. We
- 18:33have to be aware. And these are the two issues that people are talking
- 18:37about more than anything else. Democrats are going to try to make it about
- 18:40abortion. They're going to try to make it about It's one of the reasons
- 18:44they want negotiate. They don't want to talk now about how many weeks is
- 18:48the right amount of weeks to stop abortions. They don't want to talk about
- 18:52that. Why don't they want to talk about that because they want this to
- 18:56be a focal point on this election. If that got resolved, and I
- 18:59keep offering that up, Hey, here's something that we could get resolved.
- 19:03Everybody could come out and have some sort of a compromise, just kind of
- 19:10acquiesce. Hey, I think all life begins at conception, but I understand
- 19:15that not everybody agrees. And twelve weeks is twelve weeks. We'll take it.
- 19:19And then the other side can say, I really want to be able
- 19:22to do it until the kid's five years old. But you know, right
- 19:26now some states aren't letting anybody do it. Let's take twelve weeks in roll
- 19:30with it, and if they're not gonna even have a conversation, maybe it
- 19:37should be sixteen, maybe fourteen, let's shake hands and move on. It's
- 19:41because they want that to be a focal point in the election. That's going
- 19:45to be theo that And of course we're going to hear about racism. We're
- 19:48going to hear about sexism. We're going to hear about transphobia, all those
- 19:52things. We're all ready to line up. They're all ready to line up.
- 19:56And you know, it'll be about guns, it'll be the Second Amendment,
- 20:00it'll be about all those things. But really, at its core,
- 20:04it's about the economy. It's about immigration. That's it. That's what we
- 20:11got to focus on. We got to put our attention there, and we
- 20:15got to make sure that everybody who's feeling this pinch, gas pump, grocery
- 20:19store, healthcare, all of that, we got to make sure they all
- 20:23know, hey, there's one way to fix this. There's one way to
- 20:27fix this. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space

- 22:22by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
- 22:26commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
- 22:33always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
- 22:37The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that
- 22:42away for you, and while they're there, you can always ask them questions
- 22:45about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 22:51Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and you
- 22:55need some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand
- 22:57new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door opens
- 23:03and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder
- 23:07or warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're
- 23:12looking at a situation where you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
- 23:17door system that you can put down and you can use your garage space as
- 23:22a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to work
- 23:25on your own cars in there, or maybe you just want a little man
- 23:27cavid, you'd like to be able to open the door up and not invite
- 23:30all the insects in. They can do that for you as well. And
- 23:34again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having
- 23:37your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open and you need
- 23:42somebody to come help, And they do those as well. Seven oh six

- 23:52O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show right after the break. Well,
- 24:04we're now a couple of weeks away from Christmas. So have you started
- 24:11watching holiday movies or maybe holiday themed videos on TV? And when I say
- 24:18videos, I mean those fireplace videos. There's some good ones, there's some
- 24:23not so good ones. You know, the ones that you can't really tell
- 24:30where it loops. Those are pretty good. I know you have to watch
- 24:33them for a pretty good while. But when they sound authentic and they look
- 24:37pretty good, I don't need a whole lot of extra stuff. I don't
- 24:41need a cat running by periodically. That tells you that there's a loop when
- 24:45you see the cat go by again. Or I mean, if it's just
- 24:48a dog sleeping there the whole time, I can deal with that. I
- 24:52just I don't need anything to take me out of the moment. That's what
- 24:56I'm saying. Not that you just really stare at it, but sometimes you
- 24:59do. There's a great one that's just Darth Vader burning, you know,
- 25:03at his funeral. That's pretty good. Luke didn't like that when he was
- 25:07younger because he didn't like Darth Vader was on fire. But now he gets
- 25:11it, at least I think he does. We haven't watched it yet this
- 25:15year, but now there's a basically a yule log that takes you on a
- 25:22journey to different countries around the world. It's called a yule log Jams with
- 25:27a Z, right, of course it is, and it's various festive fires
- 25:33from around the planet. Stops in Canada, Poland, Germany, and gives
- 25:37you some I guess American blazes, Michigan, Vermont, and if you want
- 25:44to, you can listen to it. There's an audio only version of it,
- 25:47but there is a YouTube version of it where you can watch it.
- 25:51I like to watch the fire I like to have I mean, even if
- 25:53I've got a fire going, I like to have the crackling. Because we
- 25:56have a gas fireplace. It's not quite as you know, it doesn't have
- 26:00that zip to it doesn't have the pops and the cracks. But even if
- 26:04you're you know, utilizing the actual heat from the gas fireplace, and we
- 26:11really only use it this time of year. We use it at Christmas and
- 26:12that's about it, truthfully. But I mean we have in case you never
- 26:17know, power's out and you need some heat. That's really why we have
- 26:21it. But anyway, there it's yule log jams if you want to venture
- 26:25around the globe, and here's some fireplaces. Today may just seem like a
- 26:32normal day to everyone. It's December eleventh, right, It's this very significant
- 26:40day to an unidentified person who lives in Florida because today is the final day,
- 26:47and I assume they live in Florida. Someone bought a lottery ticket in
- 26:51Florida and today is the final day that they can redeem that lottery ticket.
- 26:55By the way, it's worth forty four million dollars lottery fifh She'll say,
- 27:00one winning ticket was sold June fourteenth, twenty twenty three, is drawing and
- 27:04has not been redeemed. The holder of that ticket has until today to claim
- 27:10the prize at the lottery office in Tallahassee, or you know, try their
- 27:15luck at winning it again. You know, so's be so disappointing. It
- 27:22would be so disappointing if they don't claim it, and if they realize after
- 27:29the fact, that would stink too. Maybe they lost it, maybe it
- 27:33was washed in a pocket. I don't know, and they don't realize that
- 27:34they won. But that's a pretty terrible thought there, you know, all
- 27:41right, news that any Italian could have confirmed for you. A new study
- 27:45says, and this is out of Italy, that eating pasta makes you happy.
- 27:51I knew that. I'm not you know, I've got a very low,
- 27:56low Italian heritage. I can tell you that it's delicious. It makes
- 28:03you happy. Pasta and happiness go hand in hand, according to Professor Vincenzo
- 28:10Russo of Italy's Free University of Languages and Communication. Researchers track the brain activity
- 28:17of student participants and found that eating pasta activates a strong emotional state similar to
- 28:21listening to music or watching sports. The study also revealed that people associate eating
- 28:26pasta with spending their time with family and friends. Forty percent of the study
- 28:32participants said pasta was a comfort food. Seventy six percent said that eating it
- 28:37increases their happiness. Pasta is good breaking news. In other news, water
- 28:45is wet. I of course, this time of year means people drink eggnog.
- 28:49Some people do, no matter how you like it, spiked or whatever,
- 28:55flavored whatever a but it's not universally loved. According to a uguff poll,
- 29:00twenty three percent of people say they love egnog. Thirty two percent say
- 29:06they like it, so that gives it a you know, mostly favorable rating
- 29:08right there. However, seventeen percent said they hate it. Sixteen percent said
- 29:14they dislike it. I don't know the last time I had egnog. It's
- 29:18not that I hate it. It's not that I dislike it. I just
- 29:19don't like it enough to make the effort. I mean, if if I'm
- 29:22at you know what, I guess I did last year, maybe at a
- 29:26holiday party, Christmas party a year ago or New Year's party, something like
- 29:30that, and it was definitely it was spiked. My friend Mark, I
- 29:36believe is the one who prepared the spiked agnog. So yes, I've had
- 29:41it. That's probably the only time I've had it though in the last maybe
- 29:45five years. It's not that I don't like it. I just don't go
- 29:48out of my way to have it around. That'll do it for this Monday
- 29:52edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for
