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.
0:09
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, thirdday of September. I'm West Thanks for joining me,
0:16
Speaker 2: zipping on through this week after a labor day. I mean,
0:22
Speaker 2: we're flying by man, that's happening. It's all coming together,
0:25
Speaker 2: isn't it mentioned yesterday? And it's still kind of up
0:28
Speaker 2: in the air. My plan is to get a show
0:31
Speaker 2: done for you for tomorrow morning. Whether Friday happens or not,
0:35
Speaker 2: I don't know. I may do two shows tomorrow morning.
0:37
Speaker 2: That may be the plan, and then you can have
0:38
Speaker 2: one for Friday morning as well. I haven't quite decided
0:42
Speaker 2: how that's going to play out just yet. If I
0:44
Speaker 2: don't get too done and I vanish for a couple
0:47
Speaker 2: of days, just know I'm resting my throat. If you
0:50
Speaker 2: missed yesterday's show, I talked a little bit about it,
0:52
Speaker 2: you should go back and check it out. But I'm
0:54
Speaker 2: having some work done on my neck, on my spine,
0:59
Speaker 2: and they are, you know, doing some work on a
1:04
Speaker 2: herniate two herniated discs actually, And the way they do that,
1:08
Speaker 2: in case you didn't know, they go in through the
1:10
Speaker 2: front and they got to go around your you know,
1:12
Speaker 2: all the all the pipes and tubes, all the important
1:15
Speaker 2: stuff that you need to eat and speak and drink,
1:19
Speaker 2: and I guess be merry. If you like all those things,
1:22
Speaker 2: it lets you be merry. Although speak I don't think
1:25
Speaker 2: it was part of that. My point is, if you
1:28
Speaker 2: know any of that stuff is kind of tender and raw,
1:31
Speaker 2: it may complicate things at least for a few days.
1:35
Speaker 2: I plan to at the very least to be back
1:37
Speaker 2: for you after the surgery by Monday. But whether I
1:41
Speaker 2: get a couple of shows recorded before then, and I may,
1:43
Speaker 2: I may knock that out tomorrow early in the morning
1:47
Speaker 2: before I go in. I don't know. We'll see. It
1:49
Speaker 2: just depends on how early I'm up and what time
1:51
Speaker 2: my surgery is. It's supposed to be early, but we'll
1:53
Speaker 2: see how we how we go in the next couple
1:55
Speaker 2: of days. But I appreciate you, you know, just putting
2:00
Speaker 2: up with it. It's not going to be fun for me.
2:03
Speaker 2: It's not I understand that. But I've had at least
2:07
Speaker 2: ten years of pain in my neck. I know there's
2:12
Speaker 2: jokes to be written there about me being a pain
2:14
Speaker 2: in the neck. I get it. I see it. It's
2:16
Speaker 2: low hanging fruit. But I understand if you thought it.
2:19
Speaker 2: I'm not giving you a hard time. But my point
2:23
Speaker 2: is I've put up with it for a really long time.
2:25
Speaker 2: I didn't know how bad it was until you know,
2:27
Speaker 2: they start running some radiation through me, and they were like,
2:31
Speaker 2: you know, you probably want to get this fixed. This
2:33
Speaker 2: looks like this could be a problem if you let
2:35
Speaker 2: it continue. And right now, as I'm sitting here, my
2:38
Speaker 2: left hand is tingling as if I've been sleeping on
2:42
Speaker 2: it all night and just woken up. And that's not
2:45
Speaker 2: exactly how I sleep. I don't typically sleep on this hand,
2:48
Speaker 2: but just so you get an idea of what I'm
2:49
Speaker 2: dealing with. And now it's in both hands, not so
2:52
Speaker 2: bad on the right, mostly on the left, and my
2:54
Speaker 2: left leg. I feel it down my left leg. It's
2:57
Speaker 2: been a long thing to get to this point, but
3:00
Speaker 2: we'll get there. And you know, if you have it
3:05
Speaker 2: in your heart and in your faith to pray for me,
3:08
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. I'm a strong advocate for doing that
3:12
Speaker 2: for others, and I would I would enjoy and appreciate
3:15
Speaker 2: your your thoughts, your prayers, whatever you whatever it is
3:18
Speaker 2: that you would like to do for me in the
3:21
Speaker 2: next twenty four hours, because Thursday morning is the day,
3:26
Speaker 2: and you know, steady hand of a surgeon who's going
3:29
Speaker 2: to be doing some work right there at the old
3:32
Speaker 2: spinal cord. You know, it's kind of important. It's one
3:36
Speaker 2: of those one of those parts of the body that
3:38
Speaker 2: you need. I trust my surgeon though, I believe he
3:41
Speaker 2: is a good and skilled surgeon with that knife. So
3:46
Speaker 2: there you go. So that's what I got going on,
3:48
Speaker 2: and I will, like I said, I'm going to get
3:50
Speaker 2: as many shows in as I can, and that way,
3:52
Speaker 2: if next week I just vanish for a week, hopefully
3:56
Speaker 2: it's not an overly crazy, complicated process. But we'll see
4:00
Speaker 2: how we go. All right. I want to talk a
4:02
Speaker 2: little bit about the arrest and this was a UK thing,
4:07
Speaker 2: and just a few thoughts on these differences that we
4:11
Speaker 2: have right now between our two countries and the importance
4:16
Speaker 2: I feel of this past election and what happened when
4:21
Speaker 2: we brought Trump back and what was happening overall this
4:28
Speaker 2: attempt to try to keep him out of office in
4:31
Speaker 2: the way that people were willing to accept, you know,
4:34
Speaker 2: just prosecute him, just find him guilty of something. We'll
4:38
Speaker 2: put up a little bit of a trial. We'll do whatever.
4:41
Speaker 2: We'll try to take his money away and embarrass him,
4:43
Speaker 2: We'll impeach him again. Even though he's on his way out.
4:46
Speaker 2: We just want to do whatever we got to do
4:47
Speaker 2: to make sure he can't either be on the ballot
4:50
Speaker 2: in a state or have the opportunity to run again.
4:54
Speaker 2: That's what was the goal. It didn't matter about democracy,
4:58
Speaker 2: it didn't matter about who the people were choosing, who
5:02
Speaker 2: the Republicans wanted to be able to vote for, didn't
5:04
Speaker 2: matter that there were a significant number of Americans who
5:08
Speaker 2: wanted to vote for Trump to be president again. Obviously,
5:11
Speaker 2: the whole thing was ugly. The whole thing backfired because
5:15
Speaker 2: I think when Americans sit back and they see something
5:19
Speaker 2: seems fishy here, what is the goal of doing all
5:24
Speaker 2: of these things Colorado trying to keep him off the ballot,
5:27
Speaker 2: and all these things that were taking place. It's one
5:29
Speaker 2: of those things that I think most Americans, at least
5:35
Speaker 2: enough in that middle area you got the left of
5:39
Speaker 2: center and the right of center people that could sway
5:41
Speaker 2: one way or the other. Enough of those people smelled
5:44
Speaker 2: something wasn't right, and enough of them realized this is
5:47
Speaker 2: not a direction we need to go in, and there's
5:51
Speaker 2: something going on that would make them try to do
5:55
Speaker 2: this to keep him from being able to run, much
5:58
Speaker 2: less keep you from having the ability to vote for him,
6:02
Speaker 2: all while screaming he's a threat to democracy, and the
6:07
Speaker 2: absurdity of that to say, this guy's a threat to democracy,
6:10
Speaker 2: but we don't want to let you vote for who
6:12
Speaker 2: you want to vote for. It's ridiculous. You're too dumb
6:16
Speaker 2: to not vote for him. And a lot of them
6:17
Speaker 2: feel that now that it's happened and he's won, there
6:21
Speaker 2: we'll see. We told you they were too dumb. It
6:23
Speaker 2: was dangerous. That's why we had to do that. However,
6:26
Speaker 2: there are several folks left of center, maybe even a
6:31
Speaker 2: little more to the left, that have come around in
6:33
Speaker 2: a number of issues. We talked yesterday about the way
6:35
Speaker 2: we got a lot of big companies saying keep politics
6:38
Speaker 2: out of the office, let's just cut it out, knock
6:42
Speaker 2: it off. I talked to you yesterday about that, and
6:45
Speaker 2: I talked about the fact that we need to just
6:47
Speaker 2: get to this point where we turn on the TV
6:49
Speaker 2: and enjoy something. We don't need to be preached to,
6:52
Speaker 2: We don't need to turn on a TV and learn
6:54
Speaker 2: some kind of a hidden lesson in an episode of
6:57
Speaker 2: thirty Rock about how we need to recycle. We don't
7:00
Speaker 2: need that. All we need is watch something entertain sure,
7:04
Speaker 2: let the characters recycle. You don't have to try to
7:07
Speaker 2: make it some kind of a public service announcement. It
7:10
Speaker 2: doesn't have to be an afterschool special. We don't need that.
7:13
Speaker 2: That's not what people want. What people want is to
7:16
Speaker 2: just get a little break. Life is tough. They want
7:19
Speaker 2: to sit back, They want to watch their favorite show.
7:22
Speaker 2: Maybe it's Father Ted, and they love to watch Father Ted,
7:26
Speaker 2: and they want to be able to watch that. Maybe
7:28
Speaker 2: that's what they want, and they want to be lectured
7:31
Speaker 2: about life as they enjoy a good episode of Father Ted.
7:35
Speaker 2: Let's jump across the pond, shall we? Because I think
7:39
Speaker 2: that it's a good segue at that point. But I
7:41
Speaker 2: do think that this election was important for us to
7:44
Speaker 2: course correct some things. We were headed down a very
7:47
Speaker 2: dangerous path. We head across the pond to some of
7:51
Speaker 2: the things that can happen if you continue to go
7:53
Speaker 2: down that dangerous path. One of the co creators of
7:57
Speaker 2: Hey what do you Know? Father Ted? Ramblenahan was arrested
8:03
Speaker 2: over some posts on social media. Were his posts about
8:08
Speaker 2: overthrowing the government with a calling for an assassination of
8:11
Speaker 2: a political leader. No, no, that wasn't it at all.
8:15
Speaker 2: He basically made some comment, some joke in the context
8:19
Speaker 2: of how you know a as he put it, trans
8:25
Speaker 2: identified male is in a female only space and is
8:31
Speaker 2: committing a violent, abusive act in doing so. And he
8:36
Speaker 2: basically said that if you're a woman that encounters that,
8:40
Speaker 2: that police should be called or the offender should be punched. Now,
8:45
Speaker 2: he says it's a serious point, but he was trying
8:47
Speaker 2: to put a humorous effect on it. That's that's what
8:50
Speaker 2: he says. So basically, here's here's how this goes down.
8:55
Speaker 2: He makes some comments, some jokes if you will, and
9:00
Speaker 2: if case you haven't heard, they're really strict about what
9:02
Speaker 2: you post on social media and I guess what you
9:04
Speaker 2: say in general that could be considered hateful or hurtful
9:08
Speaker 2: to society. And what they did was they arrested him. Basically,
9:18
Speaker 2: he was getting ready to get on a plane and
9:23
Speaker 2: he was told let's see where was he coming from?
9:28
Speaker 2: He was flying. I guess he was flying into London
9:30
Speaker 2: into Heather Airport and I guess before he got on
9:33
Speaker 2: the plane, he was told that he did not have
9:37
Speaker 2: a seat. Oh, he was in the US and he
9:40
Speaker 2: was told he didn't have a seat on his flight
9:41
Speaker 2: back home. He need to be issued a new ticket.
9:43
Speaker 2: That's his story. And he basically now believes that he
9:47
Speaker 2: got flagged at some point because somebody, in his words,
9:50
Speaker 2: someone somewhere, probably wearing unconvincing makeup, made a call. That's
9:54
Speaker 2: the way he described it. So when he got off
9:58
Speaker 2: the planet, he throwed there were five armed offers waiting
10:00
Speaker 2: for him, and he was told he was being arrested
10:03
Speaker 2: over three things that he wrote on x Lenahan commenting
10:09
Speaker 2: on this. In a country where pedophiles escape sentencing, knife
10:13
Speaker 2: crime is out of control, women are assaulted and harassed
10:16
Speaker 2: every time they gather and speak. The state mobilized five
10:20
Speaker 2: five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer for a tweet.
10:26
Speaker 2: And no, I promise you, I'm not making this up.
10:29
Speaker 2: So basically he was allowed out on bond, and part
10:37
Speaker 2: of the conditions of his bail is that he was
10:41
Speaker 2: restricted from going on x AKA Twitter. And I say
10:46
Speaker 2: that because he says, I looked at the single bail condition.
10:51
Speaker 2: I am not to go on Twitter. That's it. No threats,
10:55
Speaker 2: no speeches about the seriousness of my crimes, just a
10:58
Speaker 2: legal gag order designed to shut me up while I'm
11:02
Speaker 2: in the UK and demand I face a further interview
11:06
Speaker 2: in October. So that is what he had to do
11:13
Speaker 2: to get out on bail. He says, the UK has
11:17
Speaker 2: become a country that is hostile to freedom of speech,
11:23
Speaker 2: hostile women, far to accommodating to the demands of violent
11:26
Speaker 2: titled abuse of men who have turned the police into
11:28
Speaker 2: their personal goon squad. Probably not a surprise. One of
11:34
Speaker 2: the people defending him is Harry Potter creator JK Rowling,
11:38
Speaker 2: who has been an outspoken critic of transactivism, says, what
11:45
Speaker 2: the blank? So it starts with an F as the
11:49
Speaker 2: UK become, this is totalitarianism, utterly deplorable reform Kingdom. MP
12:01
Speaker 2: Rupert Lows said, Lenahan today, you tomorrow make your objections known.
12:05
Speaker 2: Now these are some of the people sticking up for him.
12:10
Speaker 2: There are some others, mostly conservatives. The Free Speech Union
12:16
Speaker 2: says we do not believe Graham's arrest or the bail
12:19
Speaker 2: conditions imposed were lawful. We will be backing him all
12:22
Speaker 2: the way in his fight against this preposterous allegations and
12:25
Speaker 2: disproportionate response from the police. So this is what's happening
12:32
Speaker 2: in the UK. When you think of a country in
12:35
Speaker 2: the world, and you think of a country that you
12:37
Speaker 2: would say, what is one that you would closely associate
12:41
Speaker 2: with the United States? What is the one is the
12:43
Speaker 2: longest ally, what is the one that you would say
12:47
Speaker 2: shares most of our values and things? I mean there's
12:53
Speaker 2: a few, There's a few. I would think probably if
12:57
Speaker 2: you're just thinking this as a thought exercise, I would
13:01
Speaker 2: think that the three that come to mind for me
13:05
Speaker 2: that I would say would be the closest all part
13:09
Speaker 2: of the Commonwealth, right, I mean you think about you
13:12
Speaker 2: think about the UK, you think about maybe Australia, you
13:15
Speaker 2: think about Canada. I mean, that's the ones that come
13:18
Speaker 2: to mind when you're thinking about just being similar in
13:23
Speaker 2: a lot of ways. Now there's a lot of ways,
13:24
Speaker 2: they're different, coincidence, all part of the Commonwealth. But anyway,
13:31
Speaker 2: I tend to think right away of England. I mean,
13:33
Speaker 2: obviously a lot of you know, a lot of British
13:37
Speaker 2: people came to America. That's just how it was, That's
13:40
Speaker 2: how things got started. Sure, there's others that came from
13:44
Speaker 2: other places, but this was a British colony. That's what
13:48
Speaker 2: the whole independence fight was all about breaking away, and
13:53
Speaker 2: we have been allies together many wars. It's the motherland
13:59
Speaker 2: for many Americans. This is where they are, This is
14:03
Speaker 2: where they've been for a little while. But this is
14:05
Speaker 2: a you know, a twenty twenty five September twenty twenty
14:10
Speaker 2: five story. You post something on Twitter that people don't like,
14:16
Speaker 2: you can go to jail. Now are you going to
14:20
Speaker 2: make a reach and say, well, he encourages him to
14:23
Speaker 2: punch a trans person, because it sounds like that's ultimately
14:27
Speaker 2: what they're going for here, is that this was some
14:29
Speaker 2: sort of a promise for violence. I think personally, if
14:34
Speaker 2: you're on I don't know, you're on x slash Twitter
14:38
Speaker 2: in America and you call for the assassination of the president,
14:41
Speaker 2: I think that that certainly is a weird thing to
14:45
Speaker 2: protect for free speech. But that's the whole point of
14:47
Speaker 2: free speech, right. You protect the things that you you
14:50
Speaker 2: don't necessarily agree with or that you don't want to hear.
14:55
Speaker 2: And a lot of people have been saying stuff like
14:58
Speaker 2: that and had it protected here. So this is someone
15:04
Speaker 2: who opposes the activism when it comes to the trans community,
15:09
Speaker 2: the activism. I don't know that he and I, yeah,
15:13
Speaker 2: be honest, I don't know a lot about the JK Rowling.
15:16
Speaker 2: I haven't read everything she said. Most of what I've seen,
15:19
Speaker 2: at the very least would be in the context of,
15:23
Speaker 2: you know, saying that she doesn't agree with the pronouns,
15:28
Speaker 2: that she doesn't agree that this is something other than
15:30
Speaker 2: a mental health thing. I understand how some people might
15:35
Speaker 2: be upset by that. However, that was the standard that
15:39
Speaker 2: we lived by for a very very long time, right.
15:44
Speaker 2: And then here's Graham Lenahan cracking a joke about, hey,
15:47
Speaker 2: don't let a person dressed a man dressed as a
15:50
Speaker 2: woman come into a women's only situation without causing a
15:54
Speaker 2: stink about it or punching them. Clearly a joke. I
15:58
Speaker 2: don't think he's advocating islands. But that's the place they
16:03
Speaker 2: jumped to, so much so that they needed five armed
16:06
Speaker 2: officers to take him into custody. So there you go.
16:14
Speaker 2: And I mean, he's brought us shows like Father Ted.
16:19
Speaker 2: I love Father Ted. It was also filled with things
16:22
Speaker 2: that sometimes upset people. There were comments and jokes and
16:26
Speaker 2: things in there. That could be considered offensive, and there
16:30
Speaker 2: were some people who didn't like that. You know what
16:34
Speaker 2: you do, you just don't watch it. You don't follow
16:36
Speaker 2: this guy on x or Twitter and for crying out loud,
16:40
Speaker 2: don't take everything he says seriously. He's a comedian. Today's
16:44
Speaker 2: show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola
16:47

Speaker 2: any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's
17:41
Speaker 2: one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia.

19:11
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:13
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
19:17
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
19:20
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes
19:24
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
19:27
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
19:30
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
19:33
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
19:36
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like
19:39
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
19:41
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
19:44
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
19:45
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
19:48
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
19:51
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
19:54
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
19:57
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
20:00
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred

Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after
20:11
Speaker 2: the break. As we navigate our way through this four
20:22
Speaker 2: day workweek, A new survey found seventy percent of workers
20:27
Speaker 2: feel they would be just as productive in four days
20:31
Speaker 2: as they are during a five day workweek, getting their
20:34
Speaker 2: job done in just thirty two hours. The generation most
20:38
Speaker 2: likely to want a four day work week Millennials at
20:40
Speaker 2: seventy five percent, followed by gen Z at gen X
20:44
Speaker 2: at seventy percent. Boomers least likely to want a four
20:47
Speaker 2: day work week, just forty eight percent supporting it. If
20:50
Speaker 2: you work a four day workweek, which day would you
20:52
Speaker 2: want off? According to the survey, people overwhelmingly picked Fridays,
20:58
Speaker 2: then followed by Monday. It would be weird if they
21:04
Speaker 2: wanted Wednesday. That would be an odd one. I mean,
21:06
Speaker 2: I guess there would be some people that were pulling
21:08
Speaker 2: for Wednesday. It makes sense though, that you would want to,
21:12
Speaker 2: you know, package your days off all together. I'm a
21:16
Speaker 2: strong advocate for the three day work week. I gotta
21:19
Speaker 2: be honest, and I've said this before. I'm not an economist.
21:22
Speaker 2: I'm not any sort of expert in the field. I
21:25
Speaker 2: don't pretend to be. I haven't read, you know, two
21:27
Speaker 2: or three articles and watched three reels on Instagram and
21:30
Speaker 2: suddenly became an expert on it. But I've said before,
21:34
Speaker 2: the people that say, hey, double the minimum wage, you know,
21:39
Speaker 2: do it and then make a you know, full time
21:42
Speaker 2: work week half as many hours. Just go to twenty
21:44
Speaker 2: one hours, maybe maybe twenty one, twenty twenty one, but
21:48
Speaker 2: twenty one something. We're around there. And then you're in
21:52
Speaker 2: a position where you can work three days. You make
21:56
Speaker 2: the same amount of money, right because you doubled your pay.
21:59
Speaker 2: And then if you want, then you can get another
22:03
Speaker 2: job and you could have two six day You have
22:07
Speaker 2: a six day work we with two, you know, three
22:09
Speaker 2: day jobs that make you come up to six days
22:11
Speaker 2: a week. But that's just me throwing out ideas. I
22:14
Speaker 2: don't know how it would work. I don't know if
22:16
Speaker 2: it would destroy the economy. I have no idea. It's
22:18
Speaker 2: just me throwing darts, that's all it is. But you
22:21
Speaker 2: could you could double your pay by having two full
22:24
Speaker 2: time jobs, That's all I'm saying. And then you'd only
22:25
Speaker 2: have one day off or enjoy your four days off
22:29
Speaker 2: and go spend some money and boost the economy. That's
22:32
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So there's a new trend that is
22:35
Speaker 2: I apparently it's gen Z that's embraced this, but the
22:38
Speaker 2: idea of pouring beer over ice, and people say it's
22:43
Speaker 2: more refreshing that way hotter climates, especially while you're sipping
22:49
Speaker 2: slowly and don't want the beer to get warm, and
22:54
Speaker 2: beer mixed with like lime, juice and salt, you know,
22:57
Speaker 2: they call these chiladas. And a new survey found that
23:01
Speaker 2: thirty percent of eighteen to thirty year olds say that
23:04
Speaker 2: they put this is a typo. It says eighteen to
23:06
Speaker 2: three year olds, I'm pretty sure that's not right. To
23:09
Speaker 2: thirty year old said they put their beer on ice,
23:12
Speaker 2: and twenty percent of those under thirty five said they
23:14
Speaker 2: found the idea of adding ice to beer and wine refreshing.
23:18
Speaker 2: Traditional beer lovers though not so much. They say it
23:21
Speaker 2: waters down the flavor, ruins the experience. So they say
23:26
Speaker 2: some of the backlash is snobbery that comes from a chef.
23:30
Speaker 2: David Chang, who chimed in on the idea, Oh, I
23:34
Speaker 2: hear he's good. I hear he's you know, one of
23:38
Speaker 2: the top guys. He may be the best chef named
23:41
Speaker 2: David Chang. I've ever heard of him. A new study
23:45
Speaker 2: revealed the states with the unhappiest couples. Researchers digging into
23:49
Speaker 2: Google search data to find how often people search for
23:53
Speaker 2: things like couple's therapy, divorce lawyer near me, how to
23:56
Speaker 2: save your marriage, those kind of things. Turns out real
24:00
Speaker 2: relationships pretty rocky in the rocky Mountain state Colorado topping
24:04
Speaker 2: the list. New Jersey, New York not far behind. It
24:07
Speaker 2: comes to the most miserable couples, Experts say it's probably
24:12
Speaker 2: fast paced, high stress lifestyle in those states, putting a
24:16
Speaker 2: strain on romance. Utah Massachusetts were third and fourth for
24:20
Speaker 2: the most unhappy couples. On the flip side, happiest couples
24:23
Speaker 2: were in South Dakota, which had the fewest searches for
24:26
Speaker 2: relationship help, followed by Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Alaska. I
24:33
Speaker 2: don't I don't know that this is really a red
24:36
Speaker 2: or blue state thing, but if you notice a lot
24:38
Speaker 2: of blue states on the unhappy side, a lot of
24:42
Speaker 2: red states on the happy side. I don't know if
24:43
Speaker 2: there's a I don't know if it's a coincidence. I mean,
24:46
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just pointing out what's there. And
24:49
Speaker 2: maybe they say that the thing that people fight about
24:51
Speaker 2: the most in relationships is money. So you know, maybe
24:57
Speaker 2: if you're living in Colorado or New Jersey or New
25:01
Speaker 2: York and money's tight because the taxes, maybe just maybe
25:06
Speaker 2: that could be some of the source of the stress.
25:09
Speaker 2: I don't know. That'll do it for this Wednesday edition

26:48
Speaker 2: science science sometimes leads to science fiction. It's just a
26:51
