0:01
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.
0:10
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, twelfth day of June. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:16
Speaker 2: joining me. Working our way towards the Friday the thirteenth tomorrow.
0:21
Speaker 2: We'll get to the Friday the thirteenth tomorrow though.
0:23
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that. Why it's not so bad.
0:28
Speaker 2: It's not so bad. It looks like we're seeing maybe
0:33
Speaker 2: some positive things coming out of the Simone Biles Riley
0:40
Speaker 2: Gaines online feud. It's interesting that there was a time
0:48
Speaker 2: and I want to go through because this does relate
0:50
Speaker 2: to Elon Musk and it does relate to a number
0:53
Speaker 2: of things. And there was a time when on social media,
0:58
Speaker 2: when on on Twitter specifically, you could have you know,
1:05
Speaker 2: folks would would say something about someone else and it
1:09
Speaker 2: could be this horrible, awful, malicious thing, and if you
1:14
Speaker 2: were someone who was on the conservative side of the issue,
1:17
Speaker 2: you could have your tweet taken down and you could
1:21
Speaker 2: get your accounts suspended. That's what would happen. You'd get
1:24
Speaker 2: your account suspended or you know, you get some kind
1:29
Speaker 2: of this has to come down. You'd get big you know,
1:33
Speaker 2: we have to have our sensors take a look at it.
1:38
Speaker 2: That's not what they called them. That's what they were.
1:40
Speaker 2: You'd get censors. Facebook would do the same thing. You'd
1:43
Speaker 2: get it on all social media. But I want to
1:45
Speaker 2: speak well, it also does relate to Facebook, but largely
1:50
Speaker 2: with Twitter. Is what I wanted to talk about. But
1:53
Speaker 2: there's a lot in this thought for today. It's probably
1:56
Speaker 2: going to sound like I'm rambling. But so we had
2:00
Speaker 2: that period of time and on the left you could
2:02
Speaker 2: say anything didn't matter, no repercussions. You could get away
2:07
Speaker 2: with anything. You could make a comment that you know,
2:13
Speaker 2: supported Donald Trump in any way, and you could be
2:18
Speaker 2: taken down or you could be docked. There were all
2:21
Speaker 2: sorts of horrible, nasty things that were going on behind
2:23
Speaker 2: the scenes of Twitter. Donald Trump himself had his account
2:28
Speaker 2: taken away on Twitter, and then there were other world leaders,
2:32
Speaker 2: advocates for terrorism, advocates for war, advocates for all sorts
2:37
Speaker 2: of horrible things, and they were allowed to keep their accounts.
2:40
Speaker 2: But people didn't want Trump to have any sort of
2:42
Speaker 2: sounding board in any way on Twitter. Then along came
2:48
Speaker 2: Elon Musk, and Elon Musk basically was saying look, what's changed,
2:55
Speaker 2: what's happened? You know what's going on here? Why is
2:59
Speaker 2: this okay? This should be a forum where people are
3:02
Speaker 2: able to express themselves. And there was a lot of
3:07
Speaker 2: talk about, well, we'll make your own that's what Trump did.
3:10
Speaker 2: Trump went and made his own truth social he said
3:13
Speaker 2: I'll do this, and with Elon, he just sort of
3:18
Speaker 2: was like, or I could just buy this one and
3:22
Speaker 2: take it over and we'll clean it up and we'll
3:24
Speaker 2: make it something fair where people can actually have discussions
3:27
Speaker 2: and open conversation. And people hated him for it. I
3:32
Speaker 2: mean people absolutely hated him for it. They'd spit when
3:36
Speaker 2: they said his name. This whole thing about, oh, we
3:39
Speaker 2: only hate Elon because he supported Trump, That's not accurate.
3:44
Speaker 2: They hate for Elon started around the time where he
3:47
Speaker 2: was supporting the idea of free speech. The left was
3:52
Speaker 2: trying to hold on to control to something that they
3:57
Speaker 2: believed was theirs to have, which was control over what
4:04
Speaker 2: people were able to say in these social media platforms.
4:07
Speaker 2: And it was true in the others. It ran into it.
4:10
Speaker 2: With Facebook, you ran into it just a lot of
4:13
Speaker 2: arguing and bickering and you'd get hit with some sort
4:16
Speaker 2: of a flag or punishment or Facebook jail, any of
4:20
Speaker 2: those things if you tried to express something on the right,
4:24
Speaker 2: and people on the left were just fine with it.
4:27
Speaker 2: They didn't have any problems with the fact that people.
4:29
Speaker 3: Weren't able to express themselves.
4:30
Speaker 2: This was one of those areas where it was free
4:34
Speaker 2: speech good as long as it's the right free speech,
4:38
Speaker 2: as long as you say the things that we expect
4:41
Speaker 2: you to say, the things that we believe are okay.
4:46
Speaker 3: It's this thing that.
4:47
Speaker 2: We've gone through with the idea of colonizing, and we've
4:51
Speaker 2: done a few shows on this over the years. Go
4:54
Speaker 2: back to the World Cup in Qatar, and there were
5:00
Speaker 2: people there that were told, look, the customs of where
5:03
Speaker 2: you're going say that you were not going to you know,
5:08
Speaker 2: we're going to allow obviously the players to come in
5:11
Speaker 2: and play, but we're not wearing rainbow armbands. We're not
5:14
Speaker 2: doing any sort of you know, protest or solidarity or
5:19
Speaker 2: thing for gay athletes in a country where that's against
5:23
Speaker 2: the law, where there are strict laws against homosexuality.
5:28
Speaker 3: We're not going to do that.
5:30
Speaker 2: And people say, but we have to. We have issues
5:33
Speaker 2: with this country. We're going to go in there and
5:34
Speaker 2: we're going to protest and we're going to do all
5:36
Speaker 2: these things, and ultimately the World Cup had to say,
5:39
Speaker 2: look from a governing body for this event, you can't
5:44
Speaker 2: do it. You're going to be you know, there'll be
5:46
Speaker 2: punishments on the field, You'll get yellow cards and red
5:49
Speaker 2: cards and people are going to miss matches, and you
5:52
Speaker 2: know that's the way it works. You get a red
5:54
Speaker 2: card in soccer, you're gonna miss a match. And if
5:57
Speaker 2: you're willing to have you know, your captain where rainbow
6:00
Speaker 2: armband and then get a red card or a yellow
6:02
Speaker 2: card and ultimately have to miss matches, probably not going
6:05
Speaker 2: to work well for you. You know you're going to
6:08
Speaker 2: have you're gonna have athletes that need to be there
6:12
Speaker 2: for you to win. That's why they're your captain. And yeah,
6:14
Speaker 2: could you throw somebody out and you know that you're
6:17
Speaker 2: just going to take out of the game anyway, Yeah,
6:19
Speaker 2: you could do that, not really in your best interest.
6:23
Speaker 2: But there were issues with you know, journalists that were
6:26
Speaker 2: there covering it that were gay and thought, I want
6:28
Speaker 2: to be able to wear my T shirt and they
6:30
Speaker 2: told no, you don't need to do that. But again
6:34
Speaker 2: this comes back to this notion, this idea that, you know,
6:37
Speaker 2: colonists over the you know, hundreds of years that have
6:43
Speaker 2: gone to places and said we're doing this in the
6:46
Speaker 2: name of what we believe is right. We're doing it
6:48
Speaker 2: in the name of religion. We're doing it in the
6:50
Speaker 2: name of freedom, of democracy, of you know, establishing some
6:55
Speaker 2: sort of fair government. We have parts of the world, certainly,
6:58
Speaker 2: that are very oppressive to women. Parts of the I'm sorry,
7:01
Speaker 2: parts of the world. We have countries that do that.
7:04
Speaker 3: Parts of the world.
7:05
Speaker 2: We still have slavery, versions of slavery in some and
7:11
Speaker 2: nothing really gets done about it depends on who those
7:14
Speaker 2: countries are. But in the name of you know, colonizing,
7:19
Speaker 2: Oh that's bad, you can't go do that. You can't
7:21
Speaker 2: go tell someone in the Middle East that they can't
7:24
Speaker 2: do this because it's bad for women. You can't go
7:28
Speaker 2: somewhere and do that. We we have a long history
7:30
Speaker 2: of that having happened all around the world. But the
7:34
Speaker 2: same people who talk about how bad it is, say,
7:37
Speaker 2: we're going to go to Katar and we're going to
7:39
Speaker 2: tell them that they should let people be gay, and
7:42
Speaker 2: we're going to protest that they don't do it, and
7:44
Speaker 2: we're going to tell them this is right, this is
7:47
Speaker 2: what you're supposed to do in your country. It's to me,
7:50
Speaker 2: sounds like colonizing. It's kind of in the spirit of that,
7:54
Speaker 2: isn't it doesn't that fit into all of that anyway.
7:58
Speaker 2: So the left wanted to hold on to social media
8:02
Speaker 2: because they had some control over it, and once they
8:05
Speaker 2: realized Elon Musk was becoming a threat to that, they
8:08
Speaker 2: hated him. He's weird. He is so weird. Everything about
8:13
Speaker 2: him is weird. The way he talks to people, the
8:15
Speaker 2: way he looks at people.
8:17
Speaker 3: He just has a weird look about him.
8:21
Speaker 2: The word that you're trying to say is autism, and
8:25
Speaker 2: you're not doing yourself any favors by calling Elon Musk
8:30
Speaker 2: weird because of his autism. Yes, he's incredibly successful, and
8:36
Speaker 2: yes he's a great role model for people that have
8:39
Speaker 2: what once was called high functioning autism. He's a great
8:44
Speaker 2: role model for anyone, but especially for people who are
8:50
Speaker 2: able to navigate their weirdness and be very successful at
8:56
Speaker 2: things that they do. And you can be mad at
8:58
Speaker 2: him all you want for messing up your twins, but
9:01
Speaker 2: ultimately what's happened now is we do have a place
9:04
Speaker 2: in Twitter where people can exchange ideas, both sides can
9:09
Speaker 2: be represented, and occasionally to people who apparently didn't seem
9:12
Speaker 2: to get along on certain issues may find some sort
9:16
Speaker 2: of common ground. And a challenge has been issued by
9:19
Speaker 2: Riley Gaines to some own biles to say, maybe we
9:23
Speaker 2: should start working together on making sure that women have
9:25
Speaker 2: fairness in sports. But we'll get to that in just
9:29
Speaker 2: a second. The other side effect of all of this,
9:31
Speaker 2: of course, is Donald Trump becomes president again and then
9:35
Speaker 2: suddenly Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook goes, well, we want to
9:39
Speaker 2: get in on this.
9:40
Speaker 3: You know, free expression thing.
9:43
Speaker 2: We were being pushed by media outlets and administrative people
9:48
Speaker 2: with the Biden White House to do certain things and
9:52
Speaker 2: we shouldn't have done that, so we want to have
9:54
Speaker 2: some freedom. So Riley Gaines, who, of course, if you
9:59
Speaker 2: know you don't know the name, she's a swimmer who
10:03
Speaker 2: was forced to compete against the formerly male, very low
10:10
Speaker 2: ranked swimmer Leah Thomas, who transitioned into a woman dominated
10:15
Speaker 2: women's swimming as a man competing as a woman, and
10:21
Speaker 2: Riley Gains one of the people who suffered.
10:23
Speaker 3: She was a high.
10:24
Speaker 2: Ranked swimmer in the world and if you haven't heard
10:28
Speaker 2: her story, she describes the first time she found out
10:31
Speaker 2: about Leah Thomas, who she just calls Thomas. She refers
10:35
Speaker 2: to as she says, I refer to him as his
10:38
Speaker 2: last name. That is my way of being respectful, because
10:41
Speaker 2: I'm not going to call William Thomas Leah. But that's
10:45
Speaker 2: where Leah comes from, is from the name William. Okay
10:48
Speaker 2: so and tells the story of her first encounter with
10:54
Speaker 2: Thomas and having to share a locker room and Newton
11:00
Speaker 2: and all the things that take place in a swimming
11:02
Speaker 2: locker room, a place that she says is not a
11:04
Speaker 2: modest place to be, and how they were like, who
11:08
Speaker 2: is this person? How did we just all of a
11:10
Speaker 2: sudden have a high ranked swimmer that came out of nowhere?
11:14
Speaker 2: And then they started to realize what happened certainly had
11:17
Speaker 2: a negative impact on Riley Gains in her swimming career
11:21
Speaker 2: and options. At the time, she's turned it into this
11:26
Speaker 2: is her mission. She's doing what she can to try
11:28
Speaker 2: to help girls in sports. So we had this situation
11:32
Speaker 2: where Minnesota State High School League where Champlain Park wins
11:38
Speaker 2: the for a softball state championship with a trans girl,
11:47
Speaker 2: a boy living as a girl competing in so and
11:51
Speaker 2: dominating as a pitcher, not giving up runs, absolutely dominating,
11:57
Speaker 2: and Riley Gaines makes a post about this when THEA
12:00
Speaker 2: State High School league posts on Twitter, and she says
12:04
Speaker 2: comments off on the post lol and says to be
12:09
Speaker 2: expected when your star player is a boy. This led
12:15
Speaker 2: to Simone Biles, who is one of the great Olympic
12:19
Speaker 2: champions of all time. Okay, gymnast, one of the great
12:23
Speaker 2: Olympians of all time, especially for America, but I would
12:28
Speaker 2: say for anyone. She then fires a shot off at
12:33
Speaker 2: Riley Gaines. You're truly sick all of this campaigning because
12:38
Speaker 2: you lost a race, straight up sore loser. You should
12:42
Speaker 2: be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way
12:45
Speaker 2: to make sports inclusive or creating a new avenue where
12:50
Speaker 2: trans feel safe in sports, maybe a transgender category in
12:53
Speaker 2: all sports, but instead you bully them. One thing's for
12:57
Speaker 2: sure is no one in sports is safe.
13:00
Speaker 3: With you around.
13:04
Speaker 2: And this was the official shots fired for this particular feud.
13:13
Speaker 2: So what has then transpired is a back and forth
13:19
Speaker 2: between the two and yes, Riley Gaines has now accepted
13:24
Speaker 2: the apology that finally came from Simone Biles. Simone Biles,
13:29
Speaker 2: after a lot of pressure and some back and forth, says,
13:33
Speaker 2: I want to follow from my last tweets. I've always
13:36
Speaker 2: believed competitive equity and inclusive. Now I skipped the part
13:40
Speaker 2: where Gaines and others pointed out that if Biles had
13:43
Speaker 2: to compete against men in gymnastics, no one would know
13:47
Speaker 2: her name. And it wasn't just her, there were several
13:50
Speaker 2: others that made the same type comments about this. But anyway,
13:58
Speaker 2: so she says, I want to follow it with my
13:59
Speaker 2: last tweets. I've always believed competitive equity inclusion are both
14:03
Speaker 2: essential in sport. The current system doesn't adequately balance these
14:07
Speaker 2: important principles, which often leads to frustration and heated exchanges,
14:11
Speaker 2: and it didn't help for me to get personal with
14:13
Speaker 2: Riley who By the way, she said, Riley Gaines look
14:15
Speaker 2: like a man. I mean, these are both Olympic type athletes,
14:24
Speaker 2: college or Olympic athletes. They both are very muscular people.
14:28
Speaker 2: I don't know where we're getting at with all this,
14:29
Speaker 2: but I kind of think that people competing at a
14:32
Speaker 2: high level in a sport like swimming or gymnastics are
14:35
Speaker 2: going to look a little masculine. Anyway, It's just a
14:38
Speaker 2: reality for the body type. So I don't know where
14:41
Speaker 2: that's coming from. But if we're going to have a
14:43
Speaker 2: who looks more like a man competition, I don't know
14:46
Speaker 2: if it some moan Biles wants to go there, but
14:48
Speaker 2: anyway she says, which I apologize for. These are sensitive,
14:52
Speaker 2: complicated issues that I truly don't have the answers or
14:55
Speaker 2: solutions to, but I believe it starts with empathy and respect.
14:59
Speaker 2: Was not advocating for policies that compromise fairness in women's sports.
15:04
Speaker 2: My objection is to be singling out children for public
15:08
Speaker 2: scrutiny in ways that feel personal and harmful. Individual athletes,
15:12
Speaker 2: especially kids, should never be the focus of criticism of
15:16
Speaker 2: a flawed system they have no control over. I believe
15:19
Speaker 2: sports organizations have a responsibility to come up with rules
15:23
Speaker 2: supporting inclusion while maintaining fair competition. We all want a
15:26
Speaker 2: future for sport that is fair, inclusive.
15:28
Speaker 3: And respectful. Xoxo simone.
15:31
Speaker 2: Okay, a couple things in this that are important because
15:35
Speaker 2: I think it's important. First of all, that again, an
15:38
Speaker 2: Elon purchased X allows these two people to have this exchange,
15:43
Speaker 2: and this is a positive exchange.
15:45
Speaker 3: This is good.
15:47
Speaker 2: I don't agree with everything in here some owned biles
15:50
Speaker 2: basically saying that it's a flawed system that the athletes
15:56
Speaker 2: have no control over. Well, that's what Riley Gains is
15:58
Speaker 2: fighting for. But she's trying to bring about. That's what
16:02
Speaker 2: she's made her platform. All these athletes who say, well,
16:07
Speaker 2: I have to have a platform. I can't just go
16:10
Speaker 2: out and shut up and dribble. I have to have
16:11
Speaker 2: a platform. Well, she found a platform, and the platform
16:16
Speaker 2: was something that hit her personally because it had an
16:18
Speaker 2: impact on her college career as a swimmer. That's the
16:22
Speaker 2: reality of it. I say, good for Simone to do this.
16:26
Speaker 2: I think this was, you know, a direction that this
16:30
Speaker 2: certainly needed to go. Riley Gaines responded to that, saying,
16:36
Speaker 2: I accept Simone's apology for the personal attacks, including the
16:38
Speaker 2: ones where she body shamed me.
16:41
Speaker 1: I know.
16:43
Speaker 2: She knows what it feels like. She's still the greatest
16:45
Speaker 2: female gymnast of all time. A couple of things. Sports
16:47
Speaker 2: are inclusive by nature, anyone can and should play lost it.
16:58
Speaker 2: Where is it anyone cannon should play. Sports Competition, on
17:02
Speaker 2: the other hand, and by definition, is exclusive, so the
17:07
Speaker 2: idea of competitive equity is nonsensical. Secondly, the boys are
17:11
Speaker 2: publicly humiliating the girls. To suggest that women and girls
17:15
Speaker 2: must be silent or ignore a boy who is publicly
17:18
Speaker 2: hurting or humiliating them is wrong. You can't have empathy
17:22
Speaker 2: and compassion for the girls if you're ignoring when the
17:25
Speaker 2: young men are harming or abusing them. I am not
17:27
Speaker 2: ashamed to be a voice.
17:29
Speaker 3: For the voiceless.
17:30
Speaker 2: Lastly, I agree with you that the blame is on
17:32
Speaker 2: the lawmakers and leaders at the top. Precisely why I'm
17:34
Speaker 2: suing the NCAA and support candidates who vowed to stand
17:38
Speaker 2: with women. That's why I joined at real Donald Trump
17:42
Speaker 2: at the signing of his executive order. I didn't see
17:45
Speaker 2: you there or championing this effort with your platform. Women's
17:50
Speaker 2: sports can't be used as an excuse for girls to
17:54
Speaker 2: center the feelings in validation to men and boys. I
17:57
Speaker 2: welcome you to the fight to support farts and future
18:01
Speaker 2: for female athletes. Little girls deserve the same shot to
18:05
Speaker 2: achieve what you had. Great response, well thought out, and
18:12
Speaker 2: I hope that this is now a narrative. And I
18:15
Speaker 2: think it's a narrative made possible by Elon Musk and
18:20
Speaker 2: the successful re election of Donald Trump. I think those
18:23
Speaker 2: two things contribute to a conversation that needed to take
18:27
Speaker 2: place between two high profile athletes. Today's show brought to
18:30
Speaker 2: you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
18:35
Speaker 4: Hey everyone, this is doctor Sean Crusin. I'm the executive
18:38
Speaker 4: director of Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
18:42
Speaker 4: I want to tell you about a very special exhibit
18:45
Speaker 4: that we have on display the summer. It's so big
18:48
Speaker 4: that it can't even fit in our own exhibit gallery.
18:51
Speaker 4: It's just too many pieces. This is a collection of
18:55
Speaker 4: items from the personal collection of astronaut David Rska. Dave
19:01
Speaker 4: Scott flew on Gemini eight with Neil Armstrong. He flew
19:04
Speaker 4: on Apollo nine, a dress rehearsal for the moon landing,
19:08
Speaker 4: and then, most importantly perhaps he commanded Apollo fifteen, where
19:12
Speaker 4: he became the first person to ever drive a car
19:14
Speaker 4: on the service of the Moon. Because Dave's brother, Tom
19:18
Speaker 4: lived and worked here in Columbus, Georgia, with our Columbus
19:21
Speaker 4: Chamber of Commerce, we got to be good friends with Tom.
19:24
Speaker 4: Tom has coordinated a very generous donation of artifacts and
19:28
Speaker 4: memorabilia from the Scott brothers collection to us. Here at
19:32
Speaker 4: Coca Cola Space Science Center. And again that collection got
19:36
Speaker 4: so overwhelmingly large we couldn't put it on display here.
19:39
Speaker 4: That's why we're doing the exhibit at the Bow Bartlett Center.

Speaker 2: Today show brought to you Overhead Door Company of Columbus
20:02
Speaker 2: for all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
20:06
Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
20:11
Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
20:14
Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
20:18
Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of square in that
20:20
Speaker 2: away for you, and while they're there, you can always
20:23
Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
20:26
Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
20:29
Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
20:32
Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
20:35
Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
20:38
Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
20:42
Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insallation issue that you've got.
20:44
Speaker 2: With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in
20:48
Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
20:51
Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
20:54
Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
20:57
Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
21:01
Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
21:03
Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
21:06
Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
21:07
Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
21:10
Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
21:12
Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
21:15
Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
21:19
Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
21:22
Speaker 2: and they do those as well. Seven oh six Thtory

Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show. Right after the break, Summer travel is
21:43
Speaker 2: here for many and a new U GOV survey asked
21:48
Speaker 2: to find out what the average American would say to
21:52
Speaker 2: the question how many US states have you visited other
21:56
Speaker 2: than the one that you live in? And not surprise,
22:01
Speaker 2: older people have visited more states than younger people. About
22:04
Speaker 2: one third of people sixty five or older have been
22:07
Speaker 2: to at least thirty states. And the most popular states
22:11
Speaker 2: to visit none of these are really a big surprise.
22:17
Speaker 2: I don't think other than maybe number five, and I
22:21
Speaker 2: don't know that it's a big surprise, but here we go.
22:25
Speaker 2: Florida was number one, and basically nearly two thirds of
22:29
Speaker 2: those poles say that they've been to Florida. New York
22:33
Speaker 2: is in there, Texas, California, and then Georgia at number five.
22:37
Speaker 2: How many people have visited Georgia on their way to Florida.
22:41
Speaker 2: Maybe that's another thing to help with the padding of
22:44
Speaker 2: that stat And I'm not saying there's not reasons to
22:48
Speaker 2: visit Georgia. I would think SEC football might be a
22:52
Speaker 2: reason for people to come in to the state of
22:54
Speaker 2: Georgia to go to games that take place in Atlanta's
23:00
Speaker 2: you know, as well as some of the other sort
23:02
Speaker 2: of regional sports fans that would come in to see
23:05
Speaker 2: Atlanta place. So I think that makes sense.
23:08
Speaker 3: But good for Georgia. There crack in the top five.
23:11
Speaker 2: All right, Your job comes with a paycheck may also
23:14
Speaker 2: come with an emotional toll, a heavy one at that.
23:18
Speaker 2: I've got a friend who just recently changed jobs and
23:21
Speaker 2: is already happy about the lighter emotional toll with a
23:27
Speaker 2: new job that she's starting. According to a new study
23:30
Speaker 2: on mental health in the workplace, some professions are just
23:33
Speaker 2: more depressing than others. Researchers looked at data from over
23:37
Speaker 2: half a million American workers and found that more than
23:40
Speaker 2: eighty thousand people reported being diagnosed with depression at some
23:44
Speaker 2: point in their lives, and women were twice as likely
23:48
Speaker 2: as men to receive that diagnosis. So, which are the
23:52
Speaker 2: most depressing jobs? Topping the list? Community and social service
23:56
Speaker 2: roles right behind them, food prep and service workers all
24:00
Speaker 2: so high on the list Folks in the arts, entertainment,
24:02
Speaker 2: sports media industries, followed by a healthcare support, retail, and
24:07
Speaker 2: education professionals. I don't think this is any big surprise.
24:11
Speaker 2: Experts say that there are many factors that contribute to
24:15
Speaker 2: a worker's mental health problems, ranging from emotional burnout to
24:20
Speaker 2: long hours and low pay.
24:23
Speaker 3: All of those things makes sense, they would be part
24:25
Speaker 3: of that.
24:27
Speaker 2: If the majority of your day is spent sitting and
24:29
Speaker 2: staring at a computer screen, you may not realize it,
24:32
Speaker 2: but you could be suffering from something called atrophy of
24:36
Speaker 2: the gluteal muscle group, more commonly known as office chair butt.
24:41
Speaker 2: I mean, why would you call it gluteal muscle group
24:44
Speaker 2: atrophy if you could just call it office chair butt.
24:47
Speaker 2: Instead of a round, firm backside that looks like a peach,
24:53
Speaker 2: you might have something that resembles a soft pillow or
24:56
Speaker 2: a melted candle. Your office chair could be a blame
25:01
Speaker 2: as occupational therapist at Cleveland Clinic Michael Malisia says that
25:08
Speaker 2: a lack of conditioning in your gluteus maximus and surrounding
25:12
Speaker 2: tissue leads to weakness, making it build up fat tissue
25:16
Speaker 2: and appear fatter or saggy. But they say it's not
25:23
Speaker 2: just the chair's fault. Don't go looking to buy a
25:25
Speaker 2: new chair. It's actually your fault. You're just sitting too long.
25:29
Speaker 2: Experts say that workers need to get up and move
25:32
Speaker 2: around throughout the course of the workday because that is
25:35
Speaker 2: what is best for I mean, it's best for your
25:39
Speaker 2: whole body. It's best for your heart, but it.
25:43
Speaker 3: Is better for your backside.
25:46
Speaker 2: I mean, it's good for all of the muscle groups,
25:49
Speaker 2: the heart being the most important one of the muscle groups.
25:53
Speaker 2: But yes, it's not just your chair's fault. Now, if
25:56
Speaker 2: you can get a chair that will occasionally vibrate and
25:58
Speaker 2: tell you to stand up, I don't know. You get
26:01
Speaker 2: those vibrating massage chairs and then you don't want to
26:03
Speaker 2: stand up. But if it's a chair that maybe makes
26:05
Speaker 2: a loud noise and makes you get up, well, that's
26:07
Speaker 2: what smart watches are supposed to remind us to do. Hey,
26:10
Speaker 2: heads up, Pizza Hut encouraging kids to read this summer
26:13
Speaker 2: with their book at app. Through the app, parents can
26:16
Speaker 2: set goals, track their kids reading progress and earn pizza
26:19
Speaker 2: rewards because pizza.
26:21
Speaker 3: Is it's a good motivator.
26:24
Speaker 2: During the months of June, July, and August, pre K
26:27
Speaker 2: to sixth grade, students that meet the reading goals set
26:30
Speaker 2: by their parents can earn a free Pizza Hut single
26:33
Speaker 2: topping personal pan pizza each month from participating locations. All right,
26:40
Speaker 2: and then you need to get up and move around.
26:42
Speaker 2: You don't need to just sit in a chair. When
26:43
Speaker 2: you're reading, you got to get up and work on
26:45
Speaker 2: that gluteus maximus. Everybody should be doing that all ages.
26:49
Speaker 2: I mean, not specifically for the gluteaus maximus, for the aforementioned.
26:53
Speaker 3: Take good care of your heart.
26:54
