Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning.
0:09
Speaker 2: Show Thursday morning, thirty, first day of October, Halloween, all
0:17
Speaker 2: Hallow's Eve, ghosts and goblins and all that stuff, all
0:25
Speaker 2: the spooky stuff. You know, it's today, It's the day
0:28
Speaker 2: for all the spooky stuff. It's worth noting. No matter
0:32
Speaker 2: where you are, it's worth noting. And it's just that
0:35
Speaker 2: kind of reminder for folks that are going to be
0:39
Speaker 2: driving around anywhere in that window between like five thirty
0:44
Speaker 2: and ten o'clock tonight. Okay, really even later than that,
0:49
Speaker 2: but we're mainly just kind of in that window of
0:52
Speaker 2: like five thirty, you know, nine thirty something like that.
0:55
Speaker 2: By then they should be done. Man. I think six
0:58
Speaker 2: to eight is the recommended time for trigg or treating
1:00
Speaker 2: most of the time. And we're getting close to this
1:03
Speaker 2: weekend where the time's going to change. So it's kind
1:06
Speaker 2: of it's a perfect like time to you know, you
1:09
Speaker 2: do this and then you you know, you got a
1:11
Speaker 2: couple days and then the time's going to change. So
1:14
Speaker 2: we got to be ready for that big adjustment that's coming.
1:17
Speaker 2: As far as our evening time. But we'll get that
1:19
Speaker 2: little bit of extra light and then that's going to
1:21
Speaker 2: shift on us starting next week, which is still dumb.
1:25
Speaker 2: It's all dumb. Changing the time is dumb. But that's
1:29
Speaker 2: not the topic for today. Just a reminder. You're driving around,
1:33
Speaker 2: like I said, anywhere from five thirty to nine thirty,
1:37
Speaker 2: and they really should be done long before nine thirty nine.
1:41
Speaker 2: But just know, you got people in the neighborhoods, people
1:45
Speaker 2: on foot in the neighborhoods. Just be careful, just be aware.
1:50
Speaker 2: Slow down, there's you can slow down anyway. I know
1:54
Speaker 2: I'm turning into an old man, but you can slow
1:56
Speaker 2: down anyway. There's no reason for driving like a maniac
1:59
Speaker 2: through a name. There's no real reason to drive like
2:01
Speaker 2: a maniac anyway. We're out of control with this, tired
2:05
Speaker 2: of watching the people run the lights and then you
2:08
Speaker 2: wake through the light cycle, and then you go to
2:10
Speaker 2: the next light, and then there's the person who ran
2:12
Speaker 2: the light to be ahead of you, and you're right
2:13
Speaker 2: next to them, or you're in front of them in
2:15
Speaker 2: the next lane. It's silly. It looks so dumb. It's
2:19
Speaker 2: a bad look for anybody. Occasionally it works to your advantage,
2:23
Speaker 2: But are you're really saving that much time? Honestly, to
2:26
Speaker 2: be anyway, this isn't even about driving like a maniac.
2:30
Speaker 2: Is it about the people who run the red lights.
2:32
Speaker 2: This is just about taking a little extra caution in
2:36
Speaker 2: the evening because you know tonight it's gonna be it
2:42
Speaker 2: be people walking around in neighborhoods, going around, maybe they're
2:47
Speaker 2: piled in a car, maybe they're in you know, like
2:49
Speaker 2: a little like a hay ride, being towed in the
2:51
Speaker 2: back of a truck or something through a neighborhood. All that,
2:54
Speaker 2: just be careful. Then a reminder to the parents, if
2:58
Speaker 2: you're taking the kids out trigger treating, or your kids
3:01
Speaker 2: are going to be going out, maybe you got some
3:02
Speaker 2: little bit older kids that are going to be going
3:04
Speaker 2: out on their own, remind them about the safety things.
3:08
Speaker 2: Careful when crossing the street. You know, some kind of
3:12
Speaker 2: reflective thing, something that lights up. My friend Mark, we
3:16
Speaker 2: often trigger treat with my friend Mark and his family,
3:19
Speaker 2: and they they're good about they always remember those we're
3:22
Speaker 2: bad at remember occasionally we remember them, we have them,
3:25
Speaker 2: but they're good about remembering those. Just something that gives
3:29
Speaker 2: a little bit of an advantage to the kids when
3:31
Speaker 2: they're out walking around and just be careful and you know,
3:35
Speaker 2: have a look at whatever the kids are getting. You know,
3:37
Speaker 2: I know we that was all over hyped a lot
3:39
Speaker 2: when we were kids about the some of the bad things.
3:42
Speaker 2: I don't want to say them, you know what they were,
3:44
Speaker 2: the things that we heard about when we were kids,
3:46
Speaker 2: The bad things that people were doing to candies. You know,
3:51
Speaker 2: we know what they were. We don't have to talk
3:52
Speaker 2: about them. But it was really kind of overhype, but
3:54
Speaker 2: it was worth being concerned about. Back then. We thought,
3:57
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, people are doing this to candy and
3:59
Speaker 2: apples and things. So just you know, have a scan
4:03
Speaker 2: of it. Just have a scan of it. Anyway, you
4:05
Speaker 2: should have a have a quick look through it. They
4:08
Speaker 2: may be dropping, you know, recommendations on who your kid's
4:11
Speaker 2: parents should vote for that could be in there. You
4:14
Speaker 2: don't want that for either party. That shouldn't be part
4:16
Speaker 2: of Halloween. Scary enough as it is with election day
4:19
Speaker 2: coming up, so just be careful out there. That's all
4:22
Speaker 2: I'm saying for everybody involved. Okay, let's jump into we
4:27
Speaker 2: got some got some election stuff to talk about. We
4:32
Speaker 2: got to talk about the the the garbage comment because apparently.
4:39
Speaker 1: You got.
4:40
Speaker 2: Trump's team is accusing the White House changing the transcript
4:45
Speaker 2: on what Biden said when he referred to Trump supporters
4:49
Speaker 2: as garbage. So it's just part of this whole verbal
4:56
Speaker 2: thing of you're Nazi, you're a fascist, you're you know,
5:02
Speaker 2: supporting Hitler, your garbage. Does this sound like anything that happened,
5:07
Speaker 2: you know, eight years ago when we heard about the
5:09
Speaker 2: basket of deplorables? It sounds a lot like that. And
5:12
Speaker 2: they're trying hard hard to clean up this comment of
5:18
Speaker 2: referring to Trump's supporters as garbage. So it's a couple
5:23
Speaker 2: of not great moves by one on each side this
5:27
Speaker 2: close to election day. Because no matter how you look
5:32
Speaker 2: at it, and I've explained it, and I know that
5:34
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter like you can explain it. The bottom
5:37
Speaker 2: line is this is about, Hey, the kill Tony guy
5:41
Speaker 2: was at the rally in New York. They tried to
5:45
Speaker 2: Their plan was to compare the rally to you know, Hitler,
5:51
Speaker 2: Hitler's rally. That's what they wanted to do, and then
5:54
Speaker 2: the kill Tony thing just gave them a little bit
5:56
Speaker 2: of an edge, maybe to try to win over some
5:59
Speaker 2: Puerto Rican voters or Hispanic voters. They feel like they
6:03
Speaker 2: can put their thumb on that a little bit, just
6:05
Speaker 2: kind of, you know, right on the.
6:06
Speaker 1: Old bullet hole.
6:07
Speaker 2: Just get a little bit of a thumb in there
6:09
Speaker 2: and try to convince specifically Puerto Ricans who live in
6:15
Speaker 2: Philadelphia or reading Pennsylvania, that's what they want. They want
6:18
Speaker 2: those Pennsylvania votes. They need it, they have to have.
6:21
Speaker 2: They absolutely have to have Pennsylvania, have to have it.
6:30
Speaker 2: And Trump has a very slight lead by the Poles.
6:33
Speaker 2: So as we've learned, the polls don't necessarily go well
6:39
Speaker 2: for Trump, so that could be that could be a
6:43
Speaker 2: big it could be more of a lead for Trump,
6:46
Speaker 2: but it's all within marginal or most of the battle
6:48
Speaker 2: round states. So and then this whole garbage thing. Now
6:54
Speaker 2: I would question whether or not Biden is this is
6:59
Speaker 2: another move to hurt Harris. I don't know. I really
7:03
Speaker 2: don't know that he wants her to win. I'm not
7:05
Speaker 2: he hasn't done things to convince me that he wants
7:08
Speaker 2: her to win. So there's that. Now this is coming
7:13
Speaker 2: on the heels. Now Trump does the Joe Rogan podcast.
7:17
Speaker 2: I guess jd Vance is now going to do it
7:20
Speaker 2: because Harris didn't want to do it. They wanted to
7:22
Speaker 2: limit the length. I think they wanted to limit some
7:24
Speaker 2: of the content. They wanted to limit the restrict the location.
7:27
Speaker 2: They wanted Rogan to come to her. Joe Rogan doesn't
7:32
Speaker 2: really do that. I guess sometimes maybe he'll go to
7:34
Speaker 2: other places for but he likes to do it from home.
7:38
Speaker 2: His podcast studio was in his home, So there's that.
7:44
Speaker 2: Jd Vance looks like he's going to step in and
7:46
Speaker 2: take that spot. So that's an opportunity to do that.
7:50
Speaker 2: It's interesting though. Back to the garbage thing is to
7:53
Speaker 2: note that the Trump administration has said that they didn't
7:58
Speaker 2: have anything to do with the kill Tony comments, and
8:00
Speaker 2: they really you know, they weren't appropriate for a rally,
8:03
Speaker 2: but they just said that we don't agree with those
8:05
Speaker 2: that's not our stance. But the press Democrats have said, ah,
8:09
Speaker 2: but it got said at your rally, so you got
8:11
Speaker 2: to be accountable for your party did it. And I
8:15
Speaker 2: don't even know that Tony Hinchcliffe has anything to do
8:17
Speaker 2: with the Republicans. I don't know how he got booked
8:20
Speaker 2: for that. Wasn't a smart move to book him. Let's
8:23
Speaker 2: just be honest. You want to capitalize on the popularity
8:26
Speaker 2: of this guy who's insanely popular, and a lot of
8:30
Speaker 2: people that understand his comedy and understand that he's a
8:32
Speaker 2: comedian and he does you know, roast comedy is sticking
8:37
Speaker 2: up for him. But now Harris is having to go
8:40
Speaker 2: out and say, I strongly disagree with the garbage thing.
8:45
Speaker 2: So it's just a weird place to be in the
8:48
Speaker 2: final days of a presidential election. Another thing that has
8:53
Speaker 2: come up now and just worth discussing this because it
8:57
Speaker 2: hits close to home with us here in Georgia and
9:01
Speaker 2: I we talked about this when the show aired. I'm
9:04
Speaker 2: a huge Seinfeld fan. Okay, a lot of people were
9:08
Speaker 2: a lot of people even still are watch the reruns.
9:10
Speaker 2: I guess it's still on Netflix. You know, you watch it.
9:13
Speaker 2: It's it's still it still holds up, you know for
9:16
Speaker 2: the most part. Only thing that's really missing on the
9:19
Speaker 2: show or cell phones, because a lot of the stuff
9:22
Speaker 2: it's still relevant, a lot of the stuff still works.
9:24
Speaker 2: But the cell phones, you know, would have resolved a
9:27
Speaker 2: lot of the drama on the show. Ay, we're all
9:30
Speaker 2: at the restaurant, whereas there you know, well, I wouldn't
9:34
Speaker 2: fix that. What to fix George needed to use the payphone,
9:36
Speaker 2: I guess at the restaurant. But anyway, so, uh, Kurby
9:42
Speaker 2: your enthusiasm Larry David, who, of course, you know, big
9:45
Speaker 2: part of Seinfeld, the basis for the character of George
9:49
Speaker 2: Costanzo and some of the things that Kramer did, some
9:53
Speaker 2: of the things that Jerry did. Uh is Curby Enthusiasm.
9:57
Speaker 2: I like that show a lot, love it. Get to
9:59
Speaker 2: the fun final season, they felt like they had to
10:01
Speaker 2: do a whole bunch of Trump jokes and they had
10:04
Speaker 2: to tie into the Trump election laws. And in the show,
10:11
Speaker 2: they portrayed Larry David, who plays himself, visiting a relative
10:18
Speaker 2: of his friend Leon who lives in Georgia, and she's
10:23
Speaker 2: standing in line waiting to vote, and it's hot and
10:26
Speaker 2: she's thirsty, and Larry gives her a bottle of water
10:28
Speaker 2: because she's thirsty, and then they lock him up, and
10:31
Speaker 2: then that's the basis of setting up the very Seinfeld esque.
10:35
Speaker 2: Remember the finale for Seinfeld, where it's like, lock up
10:38
Speaker 2: Larry David. They had to do his mugshot that looked
10:40
Speaker 2: like Trump's mugshot. All of that kind of did a
10:45
Speaker 2: do over on the ending of the show Seinfeld for
10:49
Speaker 2: its finale. So that was the way the election law
10:53
Speaker 2: in Georgia was portrayed. That's not what the law is
10:57
Speaker 2: in Georgia, and that's not the way it works at all.
11:01
Speaker 2: We have an issue. We had an issue, I guess
11:03
Speaker 2: in Georgia with you know, we had all these stories
11:07
Speaker 2: the last what three elections where it was, you know,
11:11
Speaker 2: they keep Fulton County precincts open. They go out and
11:15
Speaker 2: grab people on buses and feed them, and then while
11:18
Speaker 2: they stand in line to encourage them to stay in
11:20
Speaker 2: line and make sure they vote, people were feeding them. Hey,
11:24
Speaker 2: stay here and vote. As long as you're in line,
11:26
Speaker 2: don't leave the line just because you're hungry. We'll go
11:28
Speaker 2: grab up some pizzas. It'll take care of you. And
11:33
Speaker 2: it certainly has this feel of you know, buying a
11:37
Speaker 2: vote has that feel of it. But this wasn't just
11:40
Speaker 2: an average citizen standing in line. That's you know, oh
11:43
Speaker 2: my gosh, i'm thirsty. Here's a sip of water from
11:45
Speaker 2: my water bottle. That's not what happened. But apparently, once
11:50
Speaker 2: again we have you know, truth and fiction getting all
11:56
Speaker 2: mixed up and confused because our Secretary of State here
12:01
Speaker 2: in Georgia. Brad Raffinsberger didn't specifically name Vice President Harris
12:09
Speaker 2: in this comment, but he clearly was talking about her
12:13
Speaker 2: because of something that she'd said. And we get the
12:15
Speaker 2: Jim Crow two point zero and all those sorts of things,
12:19
Speaker 2: Raffinsberger said, Frustratingly, recently a candidate repeated the lie that
12:23
Speaker 2: we will lock up people that give water to voters
12:25
Speaker 2: waiting in line to vote. That's a lie because we
12:29
Speaker 2: don't have any lines in Georgia. It's just cheap politics.
12:33
Speaker 2: He said. We have worked tirelessly to prepare for this
12:36
Speaker 2: election by adding early voting days and investing in infrastructure,
12:40
Speaker 2: creating more security and more voter convenience, only to be
12:44
Speaker 2: rewarded with lies about Jim Crow two point zero. So
12:50
Speaker 2: this is I mean, it's clearly like confusion about you know,
12:56
Speaker 2: what happened on Kirby, your enthusiasm as being real life
13:00
Speaker 2: or it's an intentional ploy to, you know, paint the
13:05
Speaker 2: law to be something that it's absolutely not. And I
13:10
Speaker 2: don't know which it is. If I don't know, ignorance
13:12
Speaker 2: is better or intentionally lying about it, I don't know
13:16
Speaker 2: which is worse. I really don't They're both bad. I
13:21
Speaker 2: would like to say that, you know, maybe ignorance might
13:24
Speaker 2: be a little better. But I really don't know which
13:26
Speaker 2: one of these it is, and I don't think it matters.
13:28
Speaker 2: I think if they knew, they would still go with
13:31
Speaker 2: it because some people maybe saw curb your enthusiasm and
13:33
Speaker 2: think that's the case. There's people who think that Sarah
13:37
Speaker 2: Palin said you could see Russia from her front door
13:41
Speaker 2: in Alaska because Tina Fey dressed as Sarah Palin said
13:46
Speaker 2: it on Saturday Night Live. And I know people who
13:48
Speaker 2: still think that that's something that Sarah Palin really said,
13:51
Speaker 2: or they just ran with the lie for as long
13:54
Speaker 2: as possible. So during her speech, during speech money Ann Arbor, Michigan,
14:02
Speaker 2: Harris said, I was just in Georgia. You know, they
14:04
Speaker 2: passed a law that makes it illegal to give people
14:06
Speaker 2: food and water for standing in line to vote. The
14:09
Speaker 2: hypocrisy abounds. Whatever happened to love thy neighbor, right, And
14:13
Speaker 2: she probably said it in an accent that made it
14:15
Speaker 2: sound like she was, you know, from Michigan, because that's
14:18
Speaker 2: what she does. Our Governor Brian Kemp had this to
14:24
Speaker 2: say on X sounds like Kamala Harris just can't handle
14:28
Speaker 2: the truth. We made it easier to vote and harder
14:31
Speaker 2: to cheat in Georgia. As a result, more than three
14:33
Speaker 2: million Georgians have already voted. That's three million more votes
14:37
Speaker 2: than Vice President Harris got in the twenty twenty four primaries. Nice.
14:43
Speaker 2: I think it's also three million more than she got
14:45
Speaker 2: in the twenty twenty primaries. But he kept it classy.
14:50
Speaker 2: He just pointed out the fact that she's the candidate
14:52
Speaker 2: without getting any votes at all. So, yes, Georgia has
14:58
Speaker 2: made things for cheaters, which is good, right, But people
15:05
Speaker 2: who I guess wanted it to be easier and don't
15:09
Speaker 2: like it or trying to figure out more ways to
15:11
Speaker 2: call it Jim Crow two point zero and criticize it.
15:15
Speaker 2: And obviously there were some questions about some of the
15:19
Speaker 2: votes in Georgia in twenty twenty. I know people who
15:23
Speaker 2: don't live in Georgia that absentee ballots were requested in
15:27
Speaker 2: their name and counties where they don't live, and votes
15:30
Speaker 2: were attempted to be cast on their behalf for a
15:33
Speaker 2: candidate they didn't support. Now, thankfully, in some of those
15:37
Speaker 2: cases at least they were caught, like not the person
15:41
Speaker 2: who did it, but they caught the fact that a
15:43
Speaker 2: ballot was cast on their behalf that they didn't really cast.
15:47
Speaker 2: So number of ballot drop boxes were limited, and political
15:56
Speaker 2: groups being the ones that aren't allowed to give food
15:58
Speaker 2: and water to people waiting in line within a certain
16:01
Speaker 2: distance of the polling center. Yeah, it's not fair. It's
16:06
Speaker 2: not fair. You can't. But you can't walk up. As
16:09
Speaker 2: you're walking up, you can't try to encourage someone to
16:12
Speaker 2: vote anymore. And by being a representative of a you know,
16:18
Speaker 2: some political group, you can't be there handing out food
16:22
Speaker 2: and water to voters to entice them to show up
16:25
Speaker 2: and stand in line and vote. I mean, you can
16:28
Speaker 2: do it away from the polling place, but you just
16:30
Speaker 2: can't stand there while they're in line and keep plying
16:33
Speaker 2: them with slices of pizza. We got the Domino's guy coming.
16:38
Speaker 2: Just hang tight, we're gonna take care of you, guys.
16:40
Speaker 2: Thanks for voting our way. Does anybody think that's a
16:44
Speaker 2: good idea? And then absentee ballots, there's a new idea
16:49
Speaker 2: requirements for those. So there's some things that have improved.
16:54
Speaker 2: But of course, anytime you make things harder to cheat,
16:56
Speaker 2: people say, ah, you're just trying to keep people from voting. No,
17:01
Speaker 2: we're trying to keep people from voting that shouldn't be voting.
17:05
Speaker 2: Kind of like the mess. Oh, we got a mess
17:08
Speaker 2: in a number of states with the battles that have
17:10
Speaker 2: been going on in other states trying to keep people
17:12
Speaker 2: that aren't citizens from voting. But that's another topic for
17:16
Speaker 2: another day. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State
17:18

18:43
Speaker 2: the Co Cola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside
18:47
Speaker 2: somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
18:49
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events.
18:52
Speaker 2: Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean
18:57
Speaker 2: Cruisin says, Charlie, Charlie SamSam Charlie, or I just remind
19:02
Speaker 2: you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center
19:06
Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
19:10
Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
19:13
Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
19:19
Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
19:23
Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
19:27
Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
19:30
Speaker 2: squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you
19:32
Speaker 2: can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
19:35
Speaker 2: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
19:38
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
19:41
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
19:44
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:46
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
19:50
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
19:53
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
19:57
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
20:00
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
20:03
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
20:06
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
20:09
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
20:12
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
20:14
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
20:17
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
20:18
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
20:21
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
20:24
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
20:27
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
20:30
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
20:33
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thorty five eight forty five

Speaker 2: hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred
20:39
Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
20:43
Speaker 2: after the break. All right, I always love stories about
20:55
Speaker 2: animals abilities to communicate, and apparently pigs are an animal
21:02
Speaker 2: now that experts scientists now saying that sounds like pigs
21:06
Speaker 2: may be able to communicate and do even though we
21:09
Speaker 2: can't understand them. Scientists breaking some new ground on artificial
21:13
Speaker 2: intelligence and have worked out an algorithm that can interpret
21:17
Speaker 2: the grunt, squeals, and snuffles of pigs and translate them
21:20
Speaker 2: into insights what they want or how they're feeling. Researchers
21:26
Speaker 2: believe the technology could revolutionize animal welfare and help both
21:29
Speaker 2: farmers and veterinarians understand and care for their animals. I
21:35
Speaker 2: like this story. I think it's great. Pigs are cute.
21:39
Speaker 2: You know, some pig that'll do pig all those you know,
21:42
Speaker 2: those are all great stories, and I just, you know,
21:47
Speaker 2: want to point out that if we get to a
21:49
Speaker 2: point where someone starts trying to tell you that the
21:51
Speaker 2: pigs are saying, don't eat the bacon. This is coming
21:56
Speaker 2: from somewhere else. This is the pigs would not want
21:59
Speaker 2: to take that away from us. I mean, not all
22:02
Speaker 2: pigs would want to take all the bacon away from us,
22:05
Speaker 2: you know. So if you start hearing that, just that's
22:08
Speaker 2: what I'm going to start calling. You know, something's some
22:11
Speaker 2: smells rotten. You know, if you have a favorite food
22:16
Speaker 2: or drink and it contains nutmeg, guess what, you better
22:22
Speaker 2: be careful with how much nutmeg goes in your drink
22:24
Speaker 2: in the fall, because most fall drinks and foods have
22:28
Speaker 2: some kind of nutmeg in it. Too much nutmeg could
22:32
Speaker 2: be toxic. According to the American College of Emergency Physicians,
22:36
Speaker 2: there was a spike in the number of cases involving
22:38
Speaker 2: nutmeg poisoning in twenty twenty two. The animal that nutmeg
22:42
Speaker 2: comes from is trying to tell us that it's bad. No,
22:45
Speaker 2: just kidding, take all that back. It's largely blamed on
22:48
Speaker 2: the TikTok challenge, where people consumed a lot of nutmeg
22:52
Speaker 2: to achieve a natural high compound in nutmeg called myratyson.
22:59
Speaker 2: Is that right? My Myris Tyson. I thought that was
23:02
Speaker 2: a word that I recognized, and then there's an extra
23:04
Speaker 2: s in there, so that's different. I can call sollucinations
23:07
Speaker 2: in large doses, that is the word. Okay, a recommended
23:12
Speaker 2: amount of nutmeg is less than two teaspoons, but that
23:16
Speaker 2: doesn't tell you how much a day. You can have
23:18
Speaker 2: two teaspoons every hour, twenty four times a day. That's
23:21
Speaker 2: too much. You don't want to do that, Marisa Tyson?
23:26
Speaker 2: Is that it? Maris Tyson? I don't know. A new
23:30
Speaker 2: survey of pet owners has revealed an interesting trend. Pet
23:34
Speaker 2: ownership is on the rise and at an all time high,
23:38
Speaker 2: spending on our furry friends is actually on the decline.
23:43
Speaker 2: The findings are part of a survey by the American
23:45
Speaker 2: Veterinary Medical Association, which shows that people spend less on
23:49
Speaker 2: their pets this year as households are cutting back on expenses.
23:53
Speaker 2: Dog owners in particular spent less, while cat owners actually
23:56
Speaker 2: spent a little more. Some other interesting findings. Dog ship
24:00
Speaker 2: reached a record high eighty nine point seven million dogs
24:03
Speaker 2: this year. Fifty nine point eight million American households now
24:06
Speaker 2: have a dog. That's nearly half of American households. There
24:10
Speaker 2: are now seventy three point eight million pet cats in
24:13
Speaker 2: the country, which is at a high, but actually less
24:15
Speaker 2: than the record high of eighty one point seven in
24:18
Speaker 2: two thousand and six. There are forty two point one
24:20
Speaker 2: million households with cats. The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree for
24:28
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four has been chosen. It's a seventy four
24:31
Speaker 2: foot seventy year old Norway spruce from West Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
24:36
Speaker 2: It will be adorned with over fifty thousand multicolored led
24:40
Speaker 2: lights and topped with a ninety foot Swavorski star that
24:47
Speaker 2: has three million crystals on it. Nice the tree is
24:51
Speaker 2: that we got to two point six million in our
24:54
Speaker 2: house in our tree, not really, don't come to my
24:57
Speaker 2: house trying to break in. The tree will arise in
25:00
Speaker 2: New York in November the ninth and will be lit
25:03
Speaker 2: up in the annual televised tree lighting ceremony on December fourth.
25:07
Speaker 2: After the holiday season, it will be returned so it
25:10
Speaker 2: could be turned into lumber for Habitat for Humanity. And finally,
25:15
Speaker 2: we're closing in final days before election day presidential elections
25:21
Speaker 2: call stress but according to a new poll, this year
25:23
Speaker 2: is off the charts crazy. The American Psychological Association says
25:27
Speaker 2: that seventy seven percent of US are freaked out about
25:31
Speaker 2: the overall state of the nation, with seventy three percent
25:34
Speaker 2: saying the election is upping our stress levels. That level
25:37
Speaker 2: is considerably higher than the sixty eight percent experiencing stress
25:42
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty and the fifty two percent in twenty sixteen.
25:46
Speaker 2: Even more disturbing, as seventy two percent of adult surveyed
25:49
Speaker 2: said that they are worried the election results could lead
25:52
Speaker 2: to violence, and more than half of adults said that
25:56
Speaker 2: they believe the twenty twenty four president election could be
25:59
Speaker 2: the end of dumb democracy in the US. I would
26:03
Speaker 2: make the case that that started when Kamala Harris was
26:06
Speaker 2: just named the candidate. When you don't have to write,
26:12
Speaker 2: you don't even have to win a primary. They just
26:14
Speaker 2: kicked the guy out and named a candidate. So, if anything,
26:18
Speaker 2: the end of democracy has already begun, So you should
26:21
Speaker 2: consider it maybe that way. I don't know. I'm gonna
26:25
Speaker 2: try this word one more time, Myris Dessin, I think
26:29
Speaker 2: that's it. Myris Desin. I don't know. I was just
26:32
Speaker 2: taking another shot at it. I had to have gotten
26:34
Speaker 2: it right with one of those. I think I said
26:36
Speaker 2: Myra Tyson one time and that was the Wasn't that
26:39
Speaker 2: the p disorder? They Seinfeld, Seinfeld's in the brain. Sorry,
26:43
Speaker 2: that's where it is. That'll do it for this Thursday
