Doorbuster: Let's Talk About MSNBC · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

0:01
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 Carol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Monday morning, twenty fifth day of November. I'm Wes. Thanks
0:13
Speaker 2: for joining me. A couple things, one Carol Tripp was postponed.
0:21
Speaker 2: I guess canceled. I don't know. We're not doing what
0:24
Speaker 2: we were going to do. I told you Friday that
0:26
Speaker 2: may not be here this morning because we had really
0:31
Speaker 2: a camping trip plan. I don't know if I was
0:32
Speaker 2: that specific. It's something that we often like to try
0:36
Speaker 2: to do before Thanksgiving early in the week. And yeah,
0:42
Speaker 2: it's We've got still at least two people in the
0:45
Speaker 2: house this morning that are not one hundred percent. I'm
0:49
Speaker 2: not there. Luke's not quite there. He's close. He's closer
0:52
Speaker 2: than I am. And Jill and Jake, they're in the
0:57
Speaker 2: nineties probably as far as the percentage of being well.
1:01
Speaker 2: But I'm not quite there yet. I'm not ready for
1:05
Speaker 2: sleeping outside. It would have been tough last night. We
1:09
Speaker 2: would already be there camping, and we are tent campers.
1:14
Speaker 2: We do not own a camper, so we are tent
1:18
Speaker 2: campers and that's what we would have been doing in
1:22
Speaker 2: the cold, not feeling very well. So I'm thankful that
1:27
Speaker 2: we I mean, I hated canceling it. We enjoy the trip.
1:29
Speaker 2: We enjoy doing it every year that we're able to
1:32
Speaker 2: do it, but this year it just didn't make sense.
1:34
Speaker 2: So consider this a Doorbuster episode. I don't know, something,
1:40
Speaker 2: when you start getting into the the actual week of Thanksgiving,
1:44
Speaker 2: things getting nuts with the Black Friday sales and the
1:47
Speaker 2: door busters and the cyber Mondays, it just gets out
1:51
Speaker 2: of it just gets nuts. It's all you just hear
1:55
Speaker 2: the word. They just throw the word doorbuster out on
1:57
Speaker 2: random things. That's one of my favorite little things. And
2:02
Speaker 2: it's silly. But to me, when I see an ad
2:05
Speaker 2: that says, hey, we're celebrating Black Friday early, Yeah, okay,
2:11
Speaker 2: that's fine, and then they picked like one or two
2:13
Speaker 2: items and they go, this is a door buster. But
2:16
Speaker 2: it's an early Doorbuster. It's obviously a throwback. It's a
2:20
Speaker 2: reference back to when you actually had to be there
2:23
Speaker 2: at like five am on Black Friday. You know, you
2:27
Speaker 2: ate your food, you went to bed early, or you
2:31
Speaker 2: went and camped out because you thought, my gosh, I
2:33
Speaker 2: got to get this TV or whatever the deal is,
2:35
Speaker 2: and you want to get it. And then at some
2:38
Speaker 2: point the madness and idiocy of all of that transferred
2:43
Speaker 2: to where they just do it all week and you
2:45
Speaker 2: can go in right now and look at the Black
2:48
Speaker 2: Friday items for sale. Already they've been that way for
2:51
Speaker 2: a few days. But you would get up first thing
2:54
Speaker 2: in the on Friday morning or camp out, and then
2:57
Speaker 2: it was that jostling and throwing bow, you know, trying
3:01
Speaker 2: to get past each other so you can get into
3:04
Speaker 2: the store and get your items. That's what they wanted
3:07
Speaker 2: you to do. And they had those items that were
3:09
Speaker 2: so good. They were doorbusters, you know, they were the
3:14
Speaker 2: things that we're gonna make people push the doors in,
3:17
Speaker 2: bust those doors to get inside. And it's just it's
3:21
Speaker 2: comical to me that we are now, you know, talking
3:25
Speaker 2: about doorbusters and there's there's no doors. You just get
3:29
Speaker 2: on your phone, you get on your tablet, you get
3:32
Speaker 2: on your computer, whatever device you're using, your ray band glasses.
3:38
Speaker 2: I don't know, can you do that? Can you browse
3:40
Speaker 2: the internet on those things? We saw someone with one
3:44
Speaker 2: a pair of those at uh Dragon Con videoing people
3:47
Speaker 2: without their permission. And you know, you're in a hotel.
3:50
Speaker 2: Most of the time walking around. You can technically do that,
3:53
Speaker 2: but it's considered proper etiquette to ask before you video people.
3:57
Speaker 2: But anyway, can you do that with those glasses? Because
3:59
Speaker 2: I know they've got those glass says you can, you know,
4:01
Speaker 2: listen to music and like ask quite. They have the
4:04
Speaker 2: commercial with the who's that guy? I think that's what
4:08
Speaker 2: they do in that at I don't know, because if
4:10
Speaker 2: they have that feature, I think I need those glasses.
4:13
Speaker 2: I need a pair of glasses where I can look
4:14
Speaker 2: at somebody and they can put their name on the screen.
4:17
Speaker 2: I need that. I need that badly because I'm never
4:21
Speaker 2: a hundred percent certain. I'm just never really when I
4:26
Speaker 2: am sometimes one hundred percent, but often I'm not one
4:29
Speaker 2: hundred percent certain. When I see somebody and they start
4:31
Speaker 2: talking to me and I think, Okay, I think I
4:34
Speaker 2: know this person's name. I'm talking about people that, like
4:38
Speaker 2: I haven't seen in a long time, or maybe I'm
4:39
Speaker 2: met once. That's the people I'm talking about. I'm talking
4:42
Speaker 2: if you know me, I'm not talking about you, all right.
4:46
Speaker 2: I'm talking about those people that you meet once twice
4:49
Speaker 2: maybe and you just need the little help, little assistance
4:53
Speaker 2: with your glasses. Maybe That would be nice, wouldn't it.
4:56
Speaker 2: I want to talk about something this morning, because h
5:00
Speaker 2: I think this has been a fun little series of events,
5:05
Speaker 2: because apparently Comcast is going to they're going to unload
5:12
Speaker 2: some of their properties, some of the NBC universal networks.
5:18
Speaker 2: And when I say NBC, yes, one of those networks
5:23
Speaker 2: is ms NBC. And they're already making some adjustments. Ratings
5:30
Speaker 2: have plummeted since the election, and now they've cut some salaries.
5:39
Speaker 2: Rachel Mattow went from thirty million a year, took a
5:41
Speaker 2: pay cut down to twenty five million a year. And
5:46
Speaker 2: the network apparently is going to be up for sale,
5:49
Speaker 2: or that's one of the networks or one of a
5:51
Speaker 2: few networks that may be up for sale. And now
5:56
Speaker 2: this is this is this is now an option apparently
6:03
Speaker 2: because it seems that Elon Musk, it's been floated at
6:11
Speaker 2: least to Elon may be interested in purchasing his post
6:17
Speaker 2: on X is the most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic
6:21
Speaker 2: is most likely with the laughing to tears emoji. So
6:30
Speaker 2: I think that would be pretty fascinating. I think that
6:34
Speaker 2: would be pretty comical. I think that would be really
6:40
Speaker 2: it would bring me joy. It would bring me joy.
6:44
Speaker 2: And yeah, there's a little joy read pun there too.
6:46
Speaker 2: But all right, so let's go to the next phase
6:49
Speaker 2: of this. As Elon tweeted that or X that or
6:53
Speaker 2: whatever it is, then you got Joe Rogan who says,
6:55
Speaker 2: if you buy MSNBC, I would like Rachel Maddow's job.
7:00
Speaker 2: I will wear the same outfit and glasses and I
7:02
Speaker 2: will tell the same lies. So this could get fun.
7:08
Speaker 2: This could get really fun if something like this happens. Look,
7:13
Speaker 2: I you know, we know what happened with X. Elon
7:17
Speaker 2: bought the platform, he bought the app, the platform, everything
7:23
Speaker 2: that is was Twitter, and he cut eighty percent of
7:27
Speaker 2: the staff. He cut it down to twenty percent of staff.
7:30
Speaker 2: He said, if we're not on here basically being an
7:34
Speaker 2: arm of one political party, we're not trying to be activists.
7:38
Speaker 2: Were just trying to allow people to express their opinions
7:42
Speaker 2: and protect their rights to say what's on their mind.
7:47
Speaker 2: And I can do that with just twenty percent of
7:49
Speaker 2: the staff. I don't need all these extra staff. I
7:52
Speaker 2: don't need this extra salaries in dead weight. Now, A
7:54
Speaker 2: lot of those people I guess they got cut probably
7:56
Speaker 2: had really nice severance packages into their contracts and things.
8:01
Speaker 2: So it is probably going to take time to eventually
8:05
Speaker 2: get rid of some of those people fully, and maybe
8:07
Speaker 2: he would start hiring some more people down the line.
8:10
Speaker 2: I don't know, but the fact that he's running that
8:13
Speaker 2: company at eighty percent less staff than it was running
8:17
Speaker 2: at tells me he's just the right person for this
8:22
Speaker 2: DOGE department that he's running with or going to be
8:25
Speaker 2: running with. Vivik Ramaswami. They're already looking into ways to
8:29
Speaker 2: you know, cut some government waste. That's what they want
8:32
Speaker 2: to do. They want to save us some money. We're
8:34
Speaker 2: the taxpayers. It's our money. It's our money, use it
8:38
Speaker 2: when we need it. That's what I think it should be,
8:40
Speaker 2: right like those ads. So, I mean, if he buys
8:46
Speaker 2: MSNBC and he actually turns it into a I mean,
8:52
Speaker 2: maybe you just turned it into a middle of the road,
8:56
Speaker 2: no opinion news a network. I do think that there's
9:00
Speaker 2: room for that. I don't know that you can have
9:03
Speaker 2: an actual because you've seen some of these sites that
9:08
Speaker 2: say we have a no spin on the news. We
9:10
Speaker 2: just present you with the news every day, no opinions,
9:14
Speaker 2: no spin, no twists. All we do is just tell
9:18
Speaker 2: you the news. There are some people who want just that.
9:25
Speaker 2: I think it would be pretty fascinating if he were
9:27
Speaker 2: to take over that network and just say, we're going
9:30
Speaker 2: to get rid of all the opinion people. We're going
9:33
Speaker 2: to hire some actual journalists to come in with no slant.
9:37
Speaker 2: We're going to police the potential slant that comes in. Now,
9:42
Speaker 2: let's be honest, it doesn't matter what if he did that,
9:45
Speaker 2: and it doesn't matter how much they are unbiased or
9:49
Speaker 2: how much they even if he went with a platform
9:52
Speaker 2: that said we're going to equally share both sides, even
9:55
Speaker 2: if that's the direction he wanted to go, there would
9:59
Speaker 2: be people who would accuse him of, you know, still
10:01
Speaker 2: being a fascist, him still being Hitler or whatever, all
10:05
Speaker 2: these horrible things that would always come with it, no
10:08
Speaker 2: matter what. If he took away this extreme left news
10:12
Speaker 2: channel and that's what it is, and were to silence
10:16
Speaker 2: those people, now, would those people find a home somewhere else?
10:21
Speaker 2: Maybe with the ratings down in this very definitive message
10:28
Speaker 2: that was sent after this or at the time of
10:32
Speaker 2: this election, then I think that, you know, maybe they
10:36
Speaker 2: don't find and I mean they'd find somewhere to go,
10:38
Speaker 2: I would think, but they're not going to be doing
10:40
Speaker 2: it for the money that they're doing it for now.
10:43
Speaker 2: Surely right, they're not going to be well, she's not
10:45
Speaker 2: gonna be able to earn Rachel Maddow is not gonna
10:47
Speaker 2: be able to earn twenty five million dollars or thirty
10:51
Speaker 2: million or whatever anywhere else is she? I mean, I
10:54
Speaker 2: don't know. I assume they would just go and be
10:58
Speaker 2: forced into and maybe this would benefit them to get
11:02
Speaker 2: into podcasting. Maybe this would benefit them to find some
11:07
Speaker 2: sort of an audience there in committed listeners. It's one
11:12
Speaker 2: of the reasons that I do this. You're listening to
11:16
Speaker 2: this show because you're committed to listening to the show.
11:18
Speaker 2: And I appreciate that. That's the thing you got. Dedicated
11:22
Speaker 2: ears people who make an intentional effort to listen to you.
11:27
Speaker 2: And there are no words I thank you at the
11:30
Speaker 2: end of every episode, and I mean it, because everyone
11:36
Speaker 2: who makes it a point to listen to this show,
11:38
Speaker 2: you're deliberate, You're you're putting some effort into it. I
11:42
Speaker 2: talked about this at Veterans Day, and when when I
11:47
Speaker 2: see a veteran who's wearing a hat that shows some
11:50
Speaker 2: representation of which branch he served, in or she which
11:54
Speaker 2: branch they served in, which you know unit, maybe they
11:59
Speaker 2: served in which war they served in where they saw combat.
12:03
Speaker 2: Whatever it is, some honor or some distinction that they have.
12:08
Speaker 2: I feel like they got up that morning and they
12:11
Speaker 2: intentionally put that hat on. Someone sat there and said,
12:15
Speaker 2: I'm going to wear a hat today, and this is
12:18
Speaker 2: the hat that I'm going to wear. I'm going to
12:20
Speaker 2: represent my branch of military. I'm going to represent my
12:24
Speaker 2: brothers and sisters in combat. I'm going to represent my unit.
12:30
Speaker 2: I'm going to represent whatever it is other people who
12:33
Speaker 2: won whatever distinguished honor that I've won. I want to
12:38
Speaker 2: and have someone see that, maybe that has a solidarity
12:42
Speaker 2: with me, they open it up for conversation. I feel
12:45
Speaker 2: like it's important to me to speak to those people
12:48
Speaker 2: and thank them. I saw someone yesterday made sure to
12:53
Speaker 2: go out of my way to thank him for his service.
12:55
Speaker 2: I saw someone in the car the other day. He
12:57
Speaker 2: was at a red light next to me and I
12:59
Speaker 2: saw his hat. He looked over at me and I
13:01
Speaker 2: pointed at his hat. Gave him a quick acknowledgment as
13:04
Speaker 2: I was about to drive away, and I could tell
13:05
Speaker 2: he appreciated it because he put that hat on intentionally,
13:10
Speaker 2: and that's you are making an intentional effort to listen
13:14
Speaker 2: to this show. Now, for some of you, you have
13:16
Speaker 2: it set up where it automatically starts playing. Maybe you
13:19
Speaker 2: get up in the morning at seven o'clock, six thirty whatever,
13:24
Speaker 2: and you tell it to start playing the show. I
13:27
Speaker 2: appreciate that. But many of you make an intentional effort
13:31
Speaker 2: to log in, go into your whatever app you're listening in,
13:36
Speaker 2: and listen to the show. You may not do it
13:39
Speaker 2: at the exact same time every day. You may let
13:41
Speaker 2: a couple of shows build up before you listen two
13:43
Speaker 2: or three shows in a row. I have people who
13:45
Speaker 2: tell me they do that either way. Either way, I
13:50
Speaker 2: appreciate the fact that you're making that intentional effort. So
13:52
Speaker 2: maybe that's something that because I do think there's some
13:56
Speaker 2: value in that for for programming. It's part of why
14:02
Speaker 2: I do this. And you know, people that listen to
14:06
Speaker 2: the Joe Rogan's of the world, you know, they go, hey,
14:09
Speaker 2: we're going to do this show because people are making
14:12
Speaker 2: an effort to listen to his show, and maybe there's
14:17
Speaker 2: some benefit in you know, if the Morning Joe team
14:20
Speaker 2: got their own podcast and weren't on TV anymore. I mean,
14:24
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe that would actually help them. I'm
14:27
Speaker 2: not encouraging doing it to help them. I'm encouraging Elon
14:31
Speaker 2: and Rogan and whoever to just, you know, cause a
14:34
Speaker 2: little anarchy. Some men just like to watch the world burn.
14:38
Speaker 2: That would be a fun part of the world to
14:39
Speaker 2: watch burn. I think. I try to sit there and
14:43
Speaker 2: I think, I don't know that I want them to
14:47
Speaker 2: be pushed into a venue that might be beneficial to them.
14:50
Speaker 2: That's the only concern I've got. I don't want them
14:54
Speaker 2: to find an audience that's going to, you know, maybe
14:57
Speaker 2: help moving forward. I don't know. I don't. I don't.
15:00
Speaker 2: I don't want to help their ideas. I don't want
15:01
Speaker 2: to push those things. That's all I'm saying. But there
15:05
Speaker 2: is fun to know that there's this bit of chaos.
15:08
Speaker 2: I don't know if I mentioned this Friday or even
15:11
Speaker 2: Thursday on the show. I had a conversation last week
15:14
Speaker 2: with my first person who told me that that jd
15:18
Speaker 2: Vance is dumb and crazy and all that stuff. It
15:22
Speaker 2: was my first in person. I may have mentioned that
15:25
Speaker 2: last week. I had made a note to mention it.
15:27
Speaker 2: I didn't mark on my little sheet that I did.
15:31
Speaker 2: But he is now taking the shots. I guess they're
15:35
Speaker 2: seeing him as the potential twenty twenty eight threat. They're
15:39
Speaker 2: already starting to lay the foundation for how do we
15:42
Speaker 2: go ahead? And like he's not even the VP yet,
15:45
Speaker 2: he hasn't been sworn in, he's not the VP, he
15:48
Speaker 2: doesn't even have the official stripe. Shit, but he's already
15:52
Speaker 2: in the line of sight. He's already. That's not I
15:56
Speaker 2: guess I need to stop that verbiage. He's already someone
16:00
Speaker 2: that they're keeping a close eye on. It's weird. You
16:04
Speaker 2: get the assassination attempts on Trump, and then you have
16:07
Speaker 2: to sit back and say all of that jargon relating
16:10
Speaker 2: to being you know, in the target, in the bull's eye,
16:12
Speaker 2: all those things, all of that you think, I probably
16:16
Speaker 2: shouldn't say it that way just because of that, because
16:18
Speaker 2: there probably is somebody who's already you know, they're following
16:21
Speaker 2: the commands of the Rachel Maddows and the joy read
16:26
Speaker 2: by the way, is telling you that you shouldn't even
16:28
Speaker 2: go to Thanksgiving with your family if they're conservative, because
16:31
Speaker 2: these people voted against your interests, they voted harm upon you,
16:37
Speaker 2: and you know, how can they turn around and tell
16:40
Speaker 2: you they want to be civil with you. This is
16:42
Speaker 2: the problem. I mean, I've said this over and over
16:45
Speaker 2: again since election night, but that's the problem. You can't
16:48
Speaker 2: sit back and say just because someone voted Republican or
16:52
Speaker 2: voted conservative, or voted libertarian or whatever they voted, just
16:56
Speaker 2: because someone didn't vote and think the way that you
16:59
Speaker 2: do does mean that they're wishing you harm. It doesn't
17:02
Speaker 2: mean that harm is going to come of you. All
17:06
Speaker 2: it means is that they have a different viewpoint and
17:08
Speaker 2: at some point you're going to have to accept the
17:10
Speaker 2: fact that that's okay. Today's show brought to you by
17:13
Speaker 2: Coloma State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and
17:18
Speaker 2: educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career
17:23
Speaker 2: holders that really of all ages. I mean, they do
17:27
Speaker 2: it for school age kids as school age kids visit
17:30
Speaker 2: the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do
17:33
Speaker 2: it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
17:39
Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
17:43
Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
17:47
Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
17:54

17:57
Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School
18:01
Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
18:05
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
18:09
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
18:11
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
18:15
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
18:20
Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
18:24
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
18:28
Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
18:32

18:35
Speaker 2: Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
18:38
Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
18:42
Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
18:45
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events.
18:48
Speaker 2: Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean
18:52

Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
19:05
Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
19:08
Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
19:14
Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
19:18
Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
19:21
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
19:25
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
19:28
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
19:30
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
19:33
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
19:37
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
19:39
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:42
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
19:45
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
19:49
Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
19:53
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
19:56
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
19:58
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
20:01
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
20:05
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
20:07
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
20:10
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid. You'd like to
20:12
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
20:14
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
20:17
Speaker 2: as well, And again they do after hours calls. There's
20:20
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
20:22
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
20:25
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
20:28
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,
20:31
Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O
20:35
Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after
20:39
Speaker 2: the break well. The folks at Pillsbury have released their
20:51
Speaker 2: Holiday Baking Habits of twenty twenty four report, and they
20:56
Speaker 2: have revealed the baking habits of people all over the country.
21:00
Speaker 2: When it comes to holiday baking, the report reveals that
21:03
Speaker 2: Kansas bakers are the most passionate, ranking up over eighteen
21:07
Speaker 2: hours of baking during the holiday season. Tennessee has the
21:11
Speaker 2: most confident holiday bakers. They rate themselves seven point four
21:15
Speaker 2: out of ten on their baking skills. Forty percent of
21:18
Speaker 2: Americans plan to give a baked goods as gifts this year.
21:22
Speaker 2: Those in Montana most likely to do so. Let's run
21:26
Speaker 2: through some of the specifics. I like the categories. There's
21:30
Speaker 2: a bunch of these in here. I'll start with one
21:33
Speaker 2: that we win. In Georgia most likely to say they've
21:36
Speaker 2: passed off store bought treats as homemade. Shame, shame, you
21:43
Speaker 2: can't do that. I mean you can, but you know, shame,
21:48
Speaker 2: not really. I mean sometimes you gotta do what you
21:51
Speaker 2: gotta do. Biggest cookie decorators that goes to Kentucky. Vermont
21:58
Speaker 2: drinks the most eggnog Utah build the it's his biggest
22:03
Speaker 2: gingerbread house builders. But I don't know if that means
22:05
Speaker 2: size or if that means they build more of them.
22:09
Speaker 2: Let's look for a few more. In the southeast, Virginia
22:13
Speaker 2: most excited to receive bake goods as gifts. South Carolina
22:18
Speaker 2: most likely to play holiday music while baking. Here's one
22:22
Speaker 2: Georgia shares with Mississippi. Most likely to swear by a
22:26
Speaker 2: secret ingredient. All right, West Virginia most likely to describe
22:32
Speaker 2: their kitchen as chaos. Texas. It will still count them
22:37
Speaker 2: as kind of southeast, right, they're getting over to southwest more,
22:41
Speaker 2: aren't they. I don't know, they're just kind of middle
22:43
Speaker 2: aren't they most likely to dance while baking goes to Texas? Well,
22:47
Speaker 2: that's what they do in those steakhouses, isn't it. You
22:50
Speaker 2: know they all line up and start line dancing. And
22:54
Speaker 2: Massachusetts is most likely to roast the most chestnuts. That
22:59
Speaker 2: seems good. Can they say they can taste the holiday
23:03
Speaker 2: magic the most? That's a tie between Hawaii and Illinois.
23:06
Speaker 2: That's comical to me because that's two very different states.
23:11
Speaker 2: You know, that's two places it's very different, Like California
23:16
Speaker 2: and Wisconsin tie for most humble bakers. Again, two very
23:22
Speaker 2: different states. So it just kind of seems wild. See
23:26
Speaker 2: Georgia and Mississippi, they're similar states. That's not too crazy.
23:33
Speaker 2: KFC wants to make gift wrapping more interesting this holiday season.
23:36
Speaker 2: The fast food giant selling lickable wrapping paper tastes like
23:40
Speaker 2: the Kernel's original recipe chicken. There are also notes of
23:43
Speaker 2: cranberry sauce, as well as sage and onion flavors, inspired
23:47
Speaker 2: by KFC's limited edition stuffing Stackerberger. Here's the warning. KFC
23:52
Speaker 2: warns the paper is not intended to be eaten. It
23:56
Speaker 2: can only be licked and only on specific parts of
24:00
Speaker 2: the paper that are indicated by a protective film that
24:04
Speaker 2: needs to be removed before licking. The story gets better
24:07
Speaker 2: by the second. Now the bad news. It appears that
24:10
Speaker 2: the lickable wrapping paper is only available online and then
24:15
Speaker 2: in the U and you have to get it in
24:16
Speaker 2: the UK and Ireland, So Americans will either have to
24:18
Speaker 2: figure out a way to get it or just stick
24:21
Speaker 2: to a non lickable paper that doesn't taste like chicken.
24:25
Speaker 2: That's the downside. Um, I mean, I would think it's
24:29
Speaker 2: a small world with the Internet. If you really make
24:32
Speaker 2: the effort, I think you could get your hands on
24:33
Speaker 2: some of the stuff, or you know, go to KFC,
24:39
Speaker 2: order something that's wrapped in paper and wrap a gift
24:42
Speaker 2: with it. It's then gonna smell and taste like KFC.
24:44
Speaker 2: It's gonna have a little grease on it, but that's
24:46
Speaker 2: all right. It's the idea, and you can enjoy a
24:50
Speaker 2: KFC wrapped gift. Uh all right. Fatty foods, they're everywhere
24:58
Speaker 2: this time of year, speaking of chicken and fried chicken.
25:02
Speaker 2: But luckily there's lots of hot chocolate hot cocoa everywhere.
25:07
Speaker 2: A recent study found that a cup of we say
25:10
Speaker 2: hot chocolate here, we don't say hot cocoa, but the
25:13
Speaker 2: story says cocoa can help protect your heart from the
25:16
Speaker 2: negative effects of fatty comfort foods. Researchers at the University
25:20
Speaker 2: of Birmingham and England discovered that the high content flavianol
25:26
Speaker 2: in cocoa can mitigate some of the harmful impacts of
25:30
Speaker 2: high fat foods on your body. In their study, subjects
25:35
Speaker 2: who drank cocoa with high fat meals showed better blood
25:39
Speaker 2: vessel function compared to those who drink a low flavonol drink.
25:44
Speaker 2: Flavonols can also be found in other foods like apples
25:48
Speaker 2: and tea. Who would have apples and tea when you
25:52
Speaker 2: could just have a good old cup of hot chocolate.
25:55
Speaker 2: You know you could do that and not even have
25:59
Speaker 2: to worry about apples or tea If you don't want to, Hey,
26:04
Speaker 2: that'll do it for this Monday edition of the show,
26:06
Speaker 2: This doorbuster edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors
