Are We Paying Attention to Each Other's Money or Not? · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

0:01
Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, twenty second day of August. I'm Wes. Thanks
0:12
Speaker 2: for joining me. It's been a week now with the
0:17
Speaker 2: kidney stones. Some days better than others. I suppose that's
0:20
Speaker 2: when they're moving or not moving or whatever. I don't
0:23
Speaker 2: know the moment. I'm not in I'm not crying at
0:26
Speaker 2: the moment, hanging in there, you know, drinking a lot,
0:32
Speaker 2: urinating a lot. Got one of those strainers that you
0:39
Speaker 2: use so you can try to catch the stones. I
0:41
Speaker 2: wasn't instructed by the doctors to do it because they
0:44
Speaker 2: feel like because I am able to go frequently, I
0:48
Speaker 2: don't have anything very large to pass, and typically when
0:52
Speaker 2: they're larger, they try to catch them and then you know,
0:55
Speaker 2: they can study them and try to help you figure
0:57
Speaker 2: out what your problem is. I think we know what
0:59
Speaker 2: my problem is. I get kidney stones in August because
1:01
Speaker 2: I don't drink enough water. That's it. I think that's
1:04
Speaker 2: the problem. I mean, I know it may be oversimplified,
1:07
Speaker 2: there could be more things going on, but I'm comfortable
1:09
Speaker 2: with that being the analysis that seems to be what
1:12
Speaker 2: I'm dealing with. So yeah, I mean the first thing
1:16
Speaker 2: in the morning, a little more sore when you wake up.
1:18
Speaker 2: If you've not experienced kidney stones before, just an FYI,
1:22
Speaker 2: they seem to hurt. They hurt at the very beginning
1:25
Speaker 2: when you realize something in my back and groin or
1:30
Speaker 2: whatever hurts, and then maybe the pain can subside and
1:34
Speaker 2: go away, but you typically wake up pretty sore. So
1:37
Speaker 2: I've got that going for me right now, but not
1:42
Speaker 2: a horrible day yesterday. I woke up very sore yesterday
1:46
Speaker 2: and things kind of dwindled off a bit, but they're
1:49
Speaker 2: not done. The Empire will strike back. I know this.
1:54
Speaker 2: I know that that's coming, so I'm just bracing myself
1:57
Speaker 2: for it. So if at any point I know scream out,
2:01
Speaker 2: that's what I'm screaming about. It's the agony of all
2:04
Speaker 2: of that. Speaking of empires striking back, we're now basically
2:09
Speaker 2: a day away from the Dragon Con pregame show, releasing
2:14
Speaker 2: to podcast now over the weekend thanks to the Georgia
2:19
Speaker 2: News Network. The show will air on two hundred and
2:23
Speaker 2: eight or so radio stations around Georgia and then the
2:27
Speaker 2: states that border Georgia. That have in some cases actually
2:32
Speaker 2: have towers in other states, Alabama and the states that
2:37
Speaker 2: neighbor So if you're basically, you know, in Tennessee or
2:41
Speaker 2: South Carolina, even parts of North Carolina, Florida and obviously
2:46
Speaker 2: Alabama included, you may be picking it up from stations
2:50
Speaker 2: that are coming out of Georgia, broadcasting out of Georgia,
2:52
Speaker 2: and you're picking them up and basically we have sort
2:57
Speaker 2: of a thirty minute version of the show little air
3:00
Speaker 2: on all of those stations, and then we have the
3:02
Speaker 2: longer form version of the show that you can listen
3:05
Speaker 2: to on the Dragon Con Pregame show podcast are coverage
3:07
Speaker 2: powered by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
3:11
Speaker 2: As always I appreciate them, and a great segment in
3:16
Speaker 2: the show, both of the shows with my friend doctor
3:19
Speaker 2: Sean Crusin, who's the executive director. They're at the Cocola
3:22
Speaker 2: Space Science Center, basically just talking about the way that
3:28
Speaker 2: and if you've listened to our Native Stars show, you've
3:30
Speaker 2: already heard elements of this, but the way scientists have
3:33
Speaker 2: to keep things close to the vest when they are
3:35
Speaker 2: specifically addressing any sort of discovery, like they can't come
3:42
Speaker 2: out and say, like, there's a recent discovery of a
3:46
Speaker 2: large amount of water beneath the surface on Mars, liquid water.
3:51
Speaker 2: And the exciting part of that, of course, is typically
3:54
Speaker 2: where there's water, there's the possibility for life, and in
3:58
Speaker 2: many cases there is, you find liquid water, there's a
4:01
Speaker 2: good chance there could be potentially life or have been life.
4:06
Speaker 2: That's the other discovery, and that's part of why they're
4:08
Speaker 2: digging around on Mars at the moment. So when scientists
4:11
Speaker 2: make this revelation, they don't come out and say, hey,
4:15
Speaker 2: liquid water on Mars, there's probably life there. I mean,
4:20
Speaker 2: you don't want to jump to that conclusion. But inside
4:23
Speaker 2: they're restraining themselves because they're probably excited about the possibility
4:27
Speaker 2: there could be actual current life on Mars deep beneath
4:31
Speaker 2: the surface. But we don't have the means of testing
4:34
Speaker 2: that yet, We don't have the means of having a
4:36
Speaker 2: solid grasp on that yet. Therefore we understand that they
4:42
Speaker 2: have to, you know, say the facts. We've been doing
4:47
Speaker 2: some tests based on the discoveries. We found large amounts
4:52
Speaker 2: of liquid water deep beneath the surface, and it's going
4:55
Speaker 2: to take a lot of time to try to figure
4:56
Speaker 2: out how to get to it and study it. So
5:00
Speaker 2: anyway that's in the show, that's a great segment and
5:03
Speaker 2: it explains further that connection between science and science fiction.
5:07
Speaker 2: Science fiction allows you to make these bold you know, ooh,
5:11
Speaker 2: there could be life on Mars right now, but you
5:15
Speaker 2: don't want to say that from a science standpoint because
5:19
Speaker 2: you don't want to ultimately have egg on your face.
5:21
Speaker 2: And that's the way it works. The Dragon Con pregame
5:23
Speaker 2: show podcast As of right now, if you're listening to

6:27
Speaker 2: got them as soon as they're available. So there you go.
6:30
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into some talk. First of all, yesterday,
6:36
Speaker 2: first time, I guess since the attempted assassination, former President
6:40
Speaker 2: Trump gave an outdoor speech and one of the things
6:45
Speaker 2: that he talked about is the lie that is this
6:49
Speaker 2: Job's Report. I talked about this yesterday before that, and
6:54
Speaker 2: I've talked about it many times. They are not being
6:57
Speaker 2: there's a few things that are happening with the job
7:00
Speaker 2: And you know Kamala Harris, I guess yesterday while the
7:03
Speaker 2: convention was going on in Chicago, she's been hitting some
7:07
Speaker 2: swing states and she basically bragged, I think about sixteen
7:11
Speaker 2: million new jobs created or whatever. The Job's numbers actually
7:14
Speaker 2: came out and they were eight hundred thousand plus below
7:18
Speaker 2: where they were projected to be. So they're fudging a
7:21
Speaker 2: bit on the numbers. It's safe to say that. And
7:24
Speaker 2: I've been saying since Biden started screaming about how great
7:28
Speaker 2: the job's numbers are and how all these jobs that
7:30
Speaker 2: he's created, and it's first the main thing that we
7:34
Speaker 2: have to remember with this, and you've heard me say
7:36
Speaker 2: it many times, these are jobs that are kind of
7:39
Speaker 2: bounce back jobs they went away from COVID. Businesses have
7:43
Speaker 2: been trying to recover. We've had a bad economy, and
7:46
Speaker 2: all of the jobs that were once there in twenty
7:49
Speaker 2: nineteen went away in twenty twenty haven't all come back.
7:53
Speaker 2: Some of them are never coming back. But the ones
7:56
Speaker 2: that are slowly starting to come back as businesses are
7:59
Speaker 2: trying trying to, you know, find people to do jobs.
8:03
Speaker 2: They're trying to get people back in the jobs maybe
8:06
Speaker 2: that they once had, or new people in those jobs.
8:10
Speaker 2: And those are the jobs that have been created since
8:12
Speaker 2: Biden's been in office. Okay, that's the reality. And they
8:15
Speaker 2: can keep screaming and yelling from the rooftops how they've
8:18
Speaker 2: created all these record numbers of jobs. That's not what
8:22
Speaker 2: they're doing. They're bringing some jobs back that were there
8:25
Speaker 2: once before, and in some cases the jobs are worse.
8:29
Speaker 2: You're doing two people's job and you've got one title,
8:32
Speaker 2: and you know they're not bringing back both people. They're
8:35
Speaker 2: bringing in one person to do both of those jobs.
8:39
Speaker 2: So I don't think we can handle four more years
8:45
Speaker 2: of pretending all of that. I just don't think we
8:48
Speaker 2: can do that. But that's, of course my opinion. All right,
8:51
Speaker 2: other thing I want to talk about this. I didn't
8:54
Speaker 2: talk about it yesterday, but a couple of nights ago,
8:56
Speaker 2: the Obamas spoke at the DNS. See they did what
9:01
Speaker 2: they do well, which is speak and speak about a
9:07
Speaker 2: few things. They addressed, you know, racism, Trump's a racist
9:12
Speaker 2: or whatever. That was kind of one of the ongoing
9:16
Speaker 2: stories that we got when Obama was in office. I
9:18
Speaker 2: remember watching the inauguration. I remember watching that day when
9:27
Speaker 2: Obama was sworn in, and I remember just it's not
9:31
Speaker 2: something that I always watch, and in this case, I
9:34
Speaker 2: thought it was important to watch because I thought, well,
9:37
Speaker 2: this is this is America doing something that many speculated
9:40
Speaker 2: would never happen before. A biracial president who's you know,
9:45
Speaker 2: has a black father or white mother. But you know,
9:47
Speaker 2: by all accounts based on these old rules from back
9:51
Speaker 2: in the slave days. We say, well, if you've got
9:54
Speaker 2: any black blood, you're black. So you know, we're playing
9:56
Speaker 2: that this is our first black president. And that's fine
10:00
Speaker 2: that there's enough historic it's enough of a historic moment
10:06
Speaker 2: that you take it in for exactly what it is.
10:10
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people that are now pushing that
10:13
Speaker 2: we should go we should refer to people as biracial
10:17
Speaker 2: when they're biracial. There's a growing number of people saying,
10:21
Speaker 2: why are we still living back with the old pre
10:25
Speaker 2: civil war and Civil war days notion of this idea
10:29
Speaker 2: of one drop of black blood or whatever we're doing,
10:32
Speaker 2: because that's really kind of what's been continued on. And
10:34
Speaker 2: that's not me speaking, that's coming from, like I said,
10:38
Speaker 2: a growing number of people. I've often wondered that. But
10:42
Speaker 2: you know, we get told sometimes that if it doesn't
10:44
Speaker 2: apply to you, you're not allowed to have an opinion
10:46
Speaker 2: on it. The other thing, speaking of if it doesn't
10:50
Speaker 2: apply to you, not being allowed to have an opinion
10:52
Speaker 2: on it, one of the other things that the Obamas
10:55
Speaker 2: did during their speech is they talked about generational way health.
11:00
Speaker 2: They talked about you know, Trump coming from you know,
11:04
Speaker 2: having a father who did well, and without that, Trump
11:07
Speaker 2: wouldn't have what he has, and he's you know, his
11:10
Speaker 2: kids are having a success. Uh that's what people do.
11:15
Speaker 2: They say that, you know, you your family makes a
11:18
Speaker 2: lot of money, and then they hand it down in
11:19
Speaker 2: this generational wealth thing is what applies. And I got
11:24
Speaker 2: a few questions about all of that because I'm gonna
11:29
Speaker 2: this is going a little bit off topic for a minute,
11:31
Speaker 2: but I'll come back to my point. I think it's
11:34
Speaker 2: a point. But I know someone who I had this
11:40
Speaker 2: conversation with them once and it's it's something that would
11:43
Speaker 2: I don't think it happens as much anymore. But there
11:46
Speaker 2: was a time when I worked in a grocery store,
11:50
Speaker 2: and I was when I was in high school and
11:53
Speaker 2: I was a cashier. And back then when you you
11:56
Speaker 2: received food stamps. Now, of course it's you know, it's
11:59
Speaker 2: got to do and it's a whole different process. There's
12:01
Speaker 2: a card that you get and the funds go to
12:05
Speaker 2: the card. You use the card, so that's what it is.
12:08
Speaker 2: But back then it was actual paper stamps. They came
12:11
Speaker 2: in a little booklet. You tore them out and that's
12:13
Speaker 2: what you used. And I know that because in many
12:16
Speaker 2: cases people wouldn't even tear them out of the book.
12:18
Speaker 2: They would just hand the books to you and expect
12:21
Speaker 2: you to tear them out and count them up, and
12:24
Speaker 2: you know, when you were actually ringing up their order.
12:27
Speaker 2: And there were many cases where I was working and
12:30
Speaker 2: other employees were working, and we would step back and
12:33
Speaker 2: here we were working our you know, this was my
12:36
Speaker 2: part time job that I have. It was actually not
12:38
Speaker 2: even really part time. I was more full time. By
12:40
Speaker 2: the time I was a senior in high school, I
12:42
Speaker 2: was an assistant manager. But I'm working the job and
12:46
Speaker 2: we're you know, making you know, minimum wage ish a
12:51
Speaker 2: little bit of a bump when you become the front
12:53
Speaker 2: end assistant manager or whatever. But for the most part,
12:56
Speaker 2: we had a lot of people working in there getting
12:58
Speaker 2: their minimum wage. The question would come up from time
13:01
Speaker 2: to time. It's like, here we are working and people
13:04
Speaker 2: are coming in and they're buying things with these food stamps,
13:09
Speaker 2: and they're eating better than we are. You know, we're working.
13:12
Speaker 2: We're on the other side of it, and they're not
13:14
Speaker 2: buying you know, healthy foods, they're not buying fruits and
13:18
Speaker 2: vegetables and things. They're buying a lot of garbage that,
13:22
Speaker 2: you know, and overpriced things Porterhouse steaks and lobsters and
13:28
Speaker 2: things that we sold in the store, and we're just
13:29
Speaker 2: kind of going, I can't afford That's doesn't seem like
13:33
Speaker 2: the real intention or the purpose of that plan. That
13:37
Speaker 2: doesn't seem to be the objective. And we're buying the
13:39
Speaker 2: store brand drinks and we're watching people buy you know,
13:42
Speaker 2: the actual you know, cokes and things. And it was
13:45
Speaker 2: just questions that we would sometimes ask while we were working,
13:48
Speaker 2: and it became very taboos. Certain employees would say, hey,
13:50
Speaker 2: you need to mind your business. You're not allowed to
13:52
Speaker 2: worry about what they're spending those food stamps on. They
13:56
Speaker 2: get those and they can spend them on whatever they want,
13:58
Speaker 2: and you just go. And I've known people over the
14:02
Speaker 2: years that you know, I've had that experience where I
14:05
Speaker 2: see it and i just go, my gosh, I'm here,
14:08
Speaker 2: I'm buying as many store brand things as I can,
14:11
Speaker 2: just to try to stretch every dollar. Now, I'm very
14:15
Speaker 2: blessed in that it's been a long time since we
14:19
Speaker 2: have lived paycheck to paycheck. I've worked with a number
14:21
Speaker 2: of people over the years that you know, we're doing it.
14:26
Speaker 2: People that were making good money and still living paycheck
14:29
Speaker 2: to paycheck, they just they would spend it before they
14:32
Speaker 2: would even make it. That's what they were doing. I
14:36
Speaker 2: understand that through a lot of hard work. We're very
14:40
Speaker 2: blessed that we're not in and haven't been in that
14:42
Speaker 2: position for a very long time. Very thankful for that.
14:45
Speaker 2: I don't take that for granted. We try to save,
14:48
Speaker 2: We try to put money aside for the future, and
14:50
Speaker 2: that's part of why we're very frugal about things. So
14:54
Speaker 2: when we're doing that, so that we can save for
14:57
Speaker 2: our future and that we're not going to ultimately become
14:59
Speaker 2: a bur on anyone else later in life. We sometimes
15:04
Speaker 2: when you shop, you notice people that are doing that
15:07
Speaker 2: very thing. They're buying the name brand things, while we're
15:11
Speaker 2: trying to stretch our dollars by buying store brand things
15:15
Speaker 2: as much as possible. And I remember a former coworker
15:18
Speaker 2: of mine and I we were just having a conversation
15:20
Speaker 2: about things that frustrated us, and I mentioned that, and
15:22
Speaker 2: I got chastised very much. It's none of your business.
15:26
Speaker 2: You shouldn't be looking over at their card. You should
15:29
Speaker 2: be paying attention to what they're buying. Now the cards
15:33
Speaker 2: are very different and they just look like a credit
15:35
Speaker 2: card and nobody really notices anymore. And that's probably in
15:38
Speaker 2: everybody's best interest. I don't like the fact that I
15:42
Speaker 2: would notice it and it would make me feel a
15:43
Speaker 2: certain way. So I'm happy that I don't have to
15:45
Speaker 2: have that feeling. But I know that people are doing it,
15:48
Speaker 2: and I know that it's happening, and I know when
15:51
Speaker 2: it's happening. We all know when it happens. We know
15:53
Speaker 2: what time of each month it happens. We just know.
15:58
Speaker 2: But based on that logic of mind your business, why
16:01
Speaker 2: is there not a mind your business notion in place
16:04
Speaker 2: for families that have money that have been passed down
16:08
Speaker 2: to their kids. Why don't we still have that? Why
16:10
Speaker 2: isn't that I guess Why isn't that go both directions?
16:15
Speaker 2: What is it about? And I understand maybe there's a
16:18
Speaker 2: little bit of envy there where someone's saying, man, they've
16:21
Speaker 2: got those and they're able to buy lobsters, and I'm,
16:26
Speaker 2: you know, working hard ultimately to provide for that for them,
16:32
Speaker 2: and you know, so maybe there is that little bit
16:34
Speaker 2: of that. I don't know that it's quite envy. It's
16:36
Speaker 2: probably a little bit, but there's some frustration to go
16:39
Speaker 2: with it. But when people are looking at anyone whose
16:43
Speaker 2: family is wealthy and they're frustrated and angry and complaining
16:49
Speaker 2: because oh, those people have money and they're passing it
16:51
Speaker 2: down to their kids. And we've probably all experienced that
16:54
Speaker 2: where you know someone and you just say, you know,
16:58
Speaker 2: I mean I've known people that like, oh, yeah, their
17:00
Speaker 2: parents gave them a beach house. You I wish my
17:04
Speaker 2: parents gave me a beach house. That would be nice.
17:07
Speaker 2: So I mean, that's there, But I'm not angry with
17:11
Speaker 2: them for it. Their parents worked hard for it and
17:13
Speaker 2: were able to do that for them, So why should
17:16
Speaker 2: I be upset about someone's hard work. It's the people
17:20
Speaker 2: that are putting in the hard work that are being
17:22
Speaker 2: told they shouldn't be concerned with people that. You know,
17:26
Speaker 2: it's not all cases, but there are some people who
17:30
Speaker 2: are certainly taking advantage of a system of something that's
17:34
Speaker 2: in place. There are people that are working very hard
17:39
Speaker 2: to take care of their family, and that those whatever
17:44
Speaker 2: it's called SNAP or whatever it's called EBT, is a
17:48
Speaker 2: way for them to get through to the next phase
17:51
Speaker 2: where they don't need that anymore. And that's not what
17:53
Speaker 2: I'm being critical of. I think it's the people that
17:56
Speaker 2: know how to stretch a dollar are the ones that
17:58
Speaker 2: are working their way to try to make a better
18:04
Speaker 2: life for their family and get themselves into a better place.
18:06
Speaker 2: So understand, I'm not being critical of everybody. I just
18:08
Speaker 2: want to know why this isn't something that we can
18:12
Speaker 2: make apply both ways if you're going to ask me
18:14
Speaker 2: not to pay attention to it, which I really try
18:17
Speaker 2: not to do anymore, and it's difficult to do anymore.
18:20
Speaker 2: But why are we still looking up at people that
18:23
Speaker 2: have money and complaining because they got it from a
18:26
Speaker 2: generational situation? And that's something that the Obamas were complaining
18:29
Speaker 2: about the other night, and it just seems to be
18:31
Speaker 2: something that basically will continue on. Is that constant envy
18:38
Speaker 2: that we have one more side note, looking more and more,
18:42
Speaker 2: I guess RFK is going to drop out and endorse Trump,
18:45
Speaker 2: and that's where things seem to be headed. And he
18:49
Speaker 2: doesn't want to just hand the presidency to Harris as
18:53
Speaker 2: concerns that he might take votes away from Trump, so
18:56
Speaker 2: he's going to drop out and endorse Trump apparently, and
18:59
Speaker 2: Trump says that he likes RFK Junior, and you know
19:03
Speaker 2: there's some play I think for maybe a cabinet position.
19:06
Speaker 2: I don't know where all that's gonna work, how that's
19:08
Speaker 2: gonna go, but we'll certainly have more on that as
19:12
Speaker 2: that story develops. Today's show brought to you by Columbus
19:15
Speaker 2: State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring and educating

19:40

Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
20:06
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
20:11
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
20:13
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
20:17
Speaker 2: I mean this is a major city attraction that happens
20:22

Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
21:07
Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
21:10
Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
21:16
Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
21:19
Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
21:23
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
21:26
Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
21:28
Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
21:31
Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
21:34
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
21:38
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
21:40
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
21:42
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
21:46
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
21:49
Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got with colder or
21:52
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
21:57
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
21:59
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
22:02
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
22:04
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
22:08
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
22:11
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
22:13
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
22:15
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
22:18
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
22:21
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
22:23
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
22:27
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help and they do
22:30
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six thory five eight forty

22:40
Speaker 2: Right after the break, is there a moment when you
22:51
Speaker 2: realize that your day is going to be ruined?
22:56
Speaker 1: Ruined?
22:57
Speaker 2: Accord to do a new survey, Apparently there is. The
23:00
Speaker 2: exact time is eight thirty six in the morning. That's
23:05
Speaker 2: when the average American knows if they're in for a
23:08
Speaker 2: bad day. The survey found that the average person has
23:11
Speaker 2: four bad days a month, that's forty eight bad days
23:13
Speaker 2: a year. Twenty six percent of respondents when as far
23:17
Speaker 2: as to say that when something goes bad in the morning,
23:19
Speaker 2: the day is completely lost. Forty eight percent admitted to
23:23
Speaker 2: canceling plans or calling in sick to work when they
23:26
Speaker 2: wake up with that feeling that the day will be challenging.
23:30
Speaker 2: For parents, back to school time presents extra challenges. Fifty
23:34
Speaker 2: five percent of parents of school age kids surveyed said
23:37
Speaker 2: their kids are more prone to bad days when the
23:39
Speaker 2: new school year starts as they readjust the schedule. Fifty
23:44
Speaker 2: one percent of parents also said they experience an increase
23:46
Speaker 2: in bad days when kids go back to school, with
23:49
Speaker 2: fifty six percent saying their child's bad day often leads
23:52
Speaker 2: to them having a bad day. Other things that they
23:57
Speaker 2: say can be indicating that you're going to have a
24:00
Speaker 2: bad day. If you wake up feeling sick, you slept
24:02
Speaker 2: poorly through the night, you wake up with a headache,
24:05
Speaker 2: you lose your keys, you forget your phone at home,
24:08
Speaker 2: you run out of toilet paper, well that's going to
24:10
Speaker 2: be a problem. You forget your wallet at home, or
24:14
Speaker 2: if you overslept. So there you got a lot of
24:18
Speaker 2: people still dealing with the back to school Even if
24:20
Speaker 2: your kids are already back, it takes a little while
24:24
Speaker 2: for them to adjust. The first couple of days I
24:26
Speaker 2: think are not horrible. It's then you get into the
24:29
Speaker 2: second third week is when things they really start to drag.
24:32
Speaker 2: I think in the mornings. Do you live in a
24:35
Speaker 2: fund state? Wallet Hub researched all fifty states based on
24:38
Speaker 2: the number of fun factors from the number of restaurants, theaters,
24:42
Speaker 2: and nightlife options to recreation facilities, beaches, golf courses, and
24:46
Speaker 2: accessibility to national parks. Based on their data, the state
24:51
Speaker 2: of Florida is the most fund state in the country.
24:56
Speaker 2: I think that kind of makes some sense. California also
24:59
Speaker 2: has a lot of beach is at number two. Nevada,
25:03
Speaker 2: New York, Colorado, Illinois, Texas, Washington, Minnesota, Louisiana round out
25:08
Speaker 2: the top ten on the list. Georgia is at number
25:13
Speaker 2: twenty one, Alabama down at number twenty eight. South Carolina
25:19
Speaker 2: is at eighteen, and I was trying to find surprised that, oh,
25:27
Speaker 2: North Carolina is at number fourteen. Okay, well that sounds
25:30
Speaker 2: about right.
25:32
Speaker 1: Yeah.
25:32
Speaker 2: It's interesting as far as what some would consider most fun.
25:37
Speaker 2: As far as restaurants per capita, California dominates on that list. Well,
25:41
Speaker 2: actually they're tied with New York at Florida and Texas
25:44
Speaker 2: all for the number one spot. The most movie theaters
25:50
Speaker 2: per capita, California and Texas tie for that. Kind of
25:55
Speaker 2: an interesting thing there as far as states that are considered,
25:59
Speaker 2: I would think the beaches would certainly make Florida and
26:04
Speaker 2: California so high up on the list, And it's pretty
26:07
Speaker 2: really close between those two for the one and two spot.
26:10
Speaker 2: Of course, Florida you got some more rights and freedoms
26:13
Speaker 2: and taxes are better for you. The jersey worn by
26:17
Speaker 2: Babe Ruth during Game three of the nineteen thirty two
26:19
Speaker 2: World Series. The game where Ruth called his shot before
26:22
Speaker 2: hitting a home run into deep center field, has been
26:26
Speaker 2: put up for auction by Heritage Auction. Some experts believe
26:28
Speaker 2: the jersey could price at over thirty million dollars before
26:32
Speaker 2: the auction is over. How about that. The new study
26:39
Speaker 2: from the University of Michigan says vaping isn't just a
26:43
Speaker 2: trendy habit, it might actually be a gateway to other drugs.
26:47
Speaker 2: Researchers discovering that young adults who vapor eleven times more
26:50
Speaker 2: likely to start smoking, six more times more likely to
26:54
Speaker 2: start using marijuana, and twice as likely to start using
26:58
Speaker 2: other drugs. Is findings suprising since the whole idea of
27:01
Speaker 2: vaping initially was to be a safer alternative to smoking,
27:05
Speaker 2: or to help you to stop smoking. According to a
27:11
Speaker 2: new survey, forty five percent of Americans think drinking one
27:13
Speaker 2: or two alcoholic beverages per day is bad for your health.
27:16
Speaker 2: That's up six percent since the survey a year ago,
27:19
Speaker 2: up seventeen percent since twenty eighteen. The survey also found
27:23
Speaker 2: that fifty five percent of US adults said the best
27:26
Speaker 2: advice for people who drink an average amount of alcohol
27:29
Speaker 2: is to reduce the amount that they drink. Twenty two
27:32
Speaker 2: percent said that they should stop drinking alcohol all together.
27:37
Speaker 2: That's interesting in a trend where I think people, I
27:39
Speaker 2: don't know if people have they're convincing themselves that, you know,
27:44
Speaker 2: lighting marijuana on fire and burning it and breathing it
27:47
Speaker 2: in is good for you. I mean, you know, to
27:51
Speaker 2: each their own. But it's just interesting that that acceptance
27:55
Speaker 2: seems to be up, and it seems alcohol acceptance seems
27:58
Speaker 2: to be down. A commune of new houses near Austin,
28:01
Speaker 2: Texas is nearly complete. The community features one hundred homes,
28:04
Speaker 2: all crafted by massive three D printer. The printer can
28:08
Speaker 2: build a house measuring three thousand square feet very little
28:11
Speaker 2: human supervision. It follows a blueprint, builds up the basic
28:15
Speaker 2: shell of the home. Once the printing process is finished,
28:18
Speaker 2: human builders take over, finish the windows, doors, roof in,
28:21
Speaker 2: anything else that's required to turn it into an acceptable
28:26
Speaker 2: modern home. That'll do it for this Thursday edition of
28:30
