  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, fifteenth day of April. Tax Day. I don't
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: know is it tax day or not. They keep talking
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: about it's.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Supposed to be tax day, right, they keep talking about, oh,
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: we got some it is for some people and not
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: for other people.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: And you push it back and I don't know it's
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: tax Day.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: I know there's people that are very calculated when it
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: comes to getting their refunds or their taxes exactly to
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: the dollar, or you know, paying just a little bit.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: But we get a refund, we tend to overpay, and
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I know that there's a strategy against that. We just
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: feel more comfortable just that we're getting the refund and
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: that it gives us incentive to get them filed and
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: done early in the year. I know there's there's all
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: sorts of uh uh, financially financial experts, people that are
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: more financially epped than me. They're probably dying right now
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: at the thought of a refund. But we do the
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: refund thing, and we you know, we use it. We
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: we go to Disney or something with it.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: That's what we do. And I know there's better ways
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: to have your savings account for your vacation. I get that.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I understand, it's just kind of how we do it.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: We don't. We don't get as much as we used to.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: We we we.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Cater uh, we tailor it down, whittle it down so
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: it's less and less each time. But anyway, that's what
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: we do. So we've done it. We we get in
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: there quickly in the process, and once you're done, then
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: there's nobody trying to steal your.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Money, so you get that going for you.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: One quick thing that I wanted to talk about the
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: the posts yesterday that they were demolishing the Dolly Madison
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: discount store that was in Columbus. That was a big
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: part of my childhood.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: That's where my parents loved to go there to get
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: bread and get snacks, get some sweets. That's what they
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: would do, and we would go with them, excited at
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: the possibility of convincing them to get some sweets. And
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Sometimes we were just
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: loading up on bread. We were a get the discount
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: bread and throw it in the freezer family.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: That's how I grew up you may have done the same.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Some of you may still put bread in the freezer.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: We got to get an excessive amount of bread before
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: it goes in our freezer. We go through a lot
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: of it here. Boys are eating sandwiches frequently, especially Jake.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: He's a peanut butter sandwich fiend. It's one of his
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: go to foods. We go through a lot of bread
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: at any given point. At any given point, we got
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: it least a loaf and a half on the go,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: usually a little more than three loaves when we stock up,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: just because you have to just keep replenishing, and if
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: we're less than a loaf and a half, we're running out.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: But that was a big part of my childhood, and
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: of course that that whole Dolly Madison Bakery and just
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: a big part of Columbus for a long time. So
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: I hate to see all of that go and just
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: is sad that the I mean, obviously I haven't been
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: in there in a while to get some bread and
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: some sweets, but it's just, you know, remember it fondly,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: but that's how it goes sometimes. The building at Columbus
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: State University where I first the computer lab that I
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: first went in and used the internet on and the
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: internet that I used to use to talk with Jill
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: when she was in Australia for free, for free as
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: a as a CSU student. I used to you know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: talk to her there. That building's gone, it's been demolished.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: It's a big old patch of grass now.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: So it happens. That's how it goes.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: It's just life, you know, things things change. Sometimes you're
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: you know, you're a member of the House of Representatives
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: in California and then you're you're not. It just that
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: happens sometimes. And I feel it's only appropriate that I
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: mentioned the fact that Tony Gonzalez, the Republican also stepped
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: down among the saint like he kind of got lumped together.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: And it's obviously anytime you are in an elected office,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: at that high of a position, there's a scandal involved.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: There's a number of layers to it.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: This.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: You know, a married man, I guess in both cases
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: with him and swallwell, but and then you know, he
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: eventually admitted to this affair and the woman took her
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: own life and a real horrific way. And it's just
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: you know, not spending a lot of time talking about
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: it because honestly, it's kind of been out there and
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: people were aware of it. We kind of knew this
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: might eventually be the outcome of his story. But I
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: think it took the Eric Swalwell thing to make it happen.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: And I think all of that kind of came together,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: those roads kind of merged together, and they ended up
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: appropriately stepping aside resigning. And you know, he had already
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: announced he wasn't going to be running again. But this
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: is where things ended up for them and where it
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: should end up for them. I mean, it's an ugly
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: situation in both counts, you know. And I stand by
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: what I said yesterday about the Swalwell thing. I think
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: if people knew about it and they were covering for it,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: that's really bad. And I know that's an un statement.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: When you got victims, and you've got as many victims
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: as have now come out, it's a lot. There's some
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: talk about possible criminal charges coming with Swallwell, but uh,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: you know, you can't and this is kind of what
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I was trying to say yesterday. You can't sit back
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: and know that something bad is happening and just he's
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: again one of your useful idiots. That term I like
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: to use because that's what he was. And then you know,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: one day you decide, all right, I'm going to uh,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna turn you know, we're gonna go after this
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: guy now, and then you know, everybody, all the reporters
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: and things are look what we did. We got him,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: We got that bad guy. And it's like you could
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: have gotten him at any point. There's there's a long
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: period of time that you could have gotten him, and
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: you could have dealt with it.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I mean they could have, you know, they could at
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: any point. They could have.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: And now I guess we're getting to uh. You know,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: there's been a press conference now. One of the accusers
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: in the Eric Swalwell case, Lana Drew's, and she had
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: a press conference yesterday and basically, you know, came out
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: to tell her side of the story. He still says
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: he's going to fight on his side.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: But basically.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Drew's attorney, Lisa Bloom, says that dropping out of the
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: California race and resigning in Congress is not enough, and
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: they're they're vowing a police report and moving forward with
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: the possible criminal charges. So yeah, he he may still
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: have a long road ahead of him, and you know.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Should I think, don't you think?
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, if we're if we've committed crimes, then that
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: should be the case. If you are, you know, just
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: making up charges for people. And we saw that period happening,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: you know, prior to the election in twenty twenty four
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: for President Trump. You know, they're just changing rules, changing
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: law so that they can go after him. We're getting
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: some more information about that that's coming out, and hope
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: to have more on that soon as that story kind
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: of progresses. But you know, you're just looking for reasons
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: to prosecute somebody, And you know what a novel idea
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: prosecute somebody that may have broken the law, you know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: instead of just going after somebody for a bookkeeping error
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: that's a misdemeanor in every other case, misdemeanor when Hillary
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Clinton does it, misdemeanor. When Barack Obama does it, they
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: pay a fine, they move on. But you know, if
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: you're doing this in the name of let's get that guy,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: don't let him run for president again, that's what they did. So, yeah,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: what a novel idea, actually go after some criminals and
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: maybe force them to be held accountable for things.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: So we'll see where all that goes. For swallwell, but.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: I thought it was important we address the Tony Gonzales thing,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: not the football player.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: It's not him, it's a different guy.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I do want to talk about the Trump picture that
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: was posted on truth Social. This is really caused a
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: bit of a rift in the MAGA crowd, and I
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: think it should for a lot of reasons. I want
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: to handle this in the most diplomatic way possible because
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I'll be honest with you. I saw the picture and
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: I was offended.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I thought, what are we doing.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: We're painting this picture or it's an AI It wasn't
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: a painting, but it was an AI picture of a painting,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: that's the better way to say.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: In an AI painting of the president look in a
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: little g And it was posted a truth Social. Now.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Trump says, in his mind it was like he was
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: a doctor and he was healing people, and that there
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: was a picture in the picture as someone from the
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Red Cross. And he says that he thought it was
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: a way of showing that they support the Red Cross
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: and they're trying to heal the country and these kinds
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: of things, and maybe Trump is not really one too
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Usually typically if something gets posted from the Trump White
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: House and you go back to the video that at
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: the end of it had some racist stuff at the
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: end of it and had like the Obamas were monkeys
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: or something, and it was just where a screen capture
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: was done of a different video and then that was
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: somehow not edited out before it got reshared by whatever
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: stafford did it in turn or whatever it was.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Well, the Trump administration.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Dealt with that. They pulled down the post. They issued
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: the look, this isn't what we were trying to post.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: We were concentrating on the video at the beginning, not
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: the video at the end. It was an accident. We
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: didn't mean to do it. We don't That's not how
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: we feel about things. And they owned up to the
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: you know, fact that it was an It shouldn't have
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: been done and it was an accident. So I feel
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: like if Trump honestly felt like he was posting this
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: and saying that he was Jesus, he would probably admit
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: that and they would take it down if they thought
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: it was wrong. I don't see him. You know everything
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: that we know about him. There's a list of things
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: that we can say we know about the president. The hyperbole,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: the bravado, the McDonald's, all those things. We know all
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: of those things. But somebody who is going to do
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: this and then lie about it, it doesn't seem to
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: be him. It just doesn't seem to be to me.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I feel like he would either own it or he
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: would just tell you this is what I thought it meant.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: So I do believe that, But I also believe that
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: it can be offensive to a large swath of the
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: country at the same time, even if it wasn't intended
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: to be that way. And you could give somebody a
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: benefit of the doubt, but you can also say.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: What it is, and it looks. It looks a little blasphemous.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: It just does, and a lot of people feel that way.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: It's caused a little bit of split, and some of
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: the groups that support the president, the magaside mad at
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: the folks who think it looks looks a little blasphemous.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: And I hope that wasn't his intention, I really do.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I hope that's not what he was going for. I
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: want to believe him in every sense. But it looks
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: a little bad. It does, just the reality of it,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: and I know that this has spawned into a little
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: bit of a You know, you got some groups that
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: are now going after each other on the right, and
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: that's one of the things that I like about the
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: right is you can disagree with each other sometimes. And
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: I know it may not feel that way when you've
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: got this large maga arm of things. It says, no,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: you have to say that everything that Trump does is gold,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: and it's right. I know a lot of people that
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: were saying during the past two elections, the one the
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty election, in the twenty twenty four election, that
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: he was our only hope. He was our only hope
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: at salvation. And I remember reeling people in and saying,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: I think you're confusing him with someone else, because these
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: were religious people that I knew that were saying this.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: And Trump is a lot of things. Jesus he is not.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: It's just none of us are. There's only one. And
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: you know it's not him, it's not me, it's not
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: you unless you are Jesus listening.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: If you are at the thanks for listening.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: And more importantly, everything literally everything else.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I guess he is listening, isn't he. I mean, he's
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: listening all the time.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: So this image caused a little rift between the Trump administration,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: the MAGA Republicans and Riley Gaines, who has been someone
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: they have supported. They have been on her side. She
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: has been an advocate for women in sports, and she's gotten,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: she says, a lot of pushback, so much pushback, she says,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: from MAGA because of the opinion. And she says something
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: similar to what I said. Multiple things here really can
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: be true. Number one, and this isn't what I said,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: but I.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Think it applies in general.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Maybe, But she says, I do believe humility would serve
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: President Trump. Humility, So we're I've been talking about for
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: a couple of days. Number Two, God shall not be mocked,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: and blasphemy not something to take lightly. And three, I
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: don't regret my vote at all. But this online base,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: this discourse that exists here, it makes you feel like
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: you're the crazy person for saying those things. I hate
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: that she's in a kind of been put into this
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: corner where she has to defend herself for this. But
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: I have the quote here from Trump. He says, I
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: thought it was meant to show me as a doctor
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: and had to do with the Red Cross, which we support,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: and only the fake news could come up with that one,
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: and he says, it's supposed to be me as a
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: doctor making people better, and I do make people better.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: So that's the specific quote that he said. And he
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: did take a shot at Riley Gaines. I didn't really
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: listen to Riley Gaines. I'm not a big fan of
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Riley actually, So that's kind of the way things go.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: And in a couple of weeks they may be buddies again.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: We saw what happened with Elon. It's just the reality
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: of how all these things kind of go sometimes. But
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: you know, at first glance, I saw it and went, eh,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: it's not a good look. It's not a good look
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: at all. And you know, I hear what he's saying.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: I hear what he's trying to say to defend it.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I hope that's all sincere and genuine, and that we
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: can all learn from it and move on. And that's
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: about the best we can hope for, isn't it. Today's
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: show brought to you by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola

  Speaker 3: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's

• 19:32

  Speaker 3: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: after the break, Well, if you're like me and you
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: hate small talk, and I'm talking about hate small talk.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I can do it.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: I know it's what you have to do to fit
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: in in society. I know it's what you have to
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: do to coexist with people because they want to have
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: their little nothing conversation with you. I don't like it
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: because I need and I can.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I can do it.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: But when I often, when I do it, I try
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: to get some kind of a response that gives me
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: what I need.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: I need.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: I need the dopamine, right, I need the little hit
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: of the like I've made a joke and I got
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: a laugh.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: I need. That's what I need. That's what I want
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: out of small talk. I can't just do I can.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I just don't enjoy it. I hate it. I don't
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: like it.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Boy it's hot today, you know, yeah, it gets hot.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: It tends to get hot in this part of the country,
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: this specific part of the world where I live, and
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: I bump into people who want to tell me how
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: hot it gets it does? I mean, if we're standing
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: at the South Pole and they're like, boy, it's hot today,
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: that would kind of be you know, conversation. You know
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: what it is, boy, it's boiling, my goodness, how hot
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: it is. It's when it's hot in Georgia. It's you know,
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: that's just normal. That's what we get a lot of.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: So anyway, I'm not a big fan of it. I
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: can do it. I tolerate it as I moved through
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: this world that's full of these people that like to
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: do this, and it's just not me. Well, apparently the
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: experts say, hey, maybe you should.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: You know, get into it.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: A new study done at the University of Michigan what
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: I A no, except you know, basketball, I found that
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: people under I love I've got friends that graduated from Michigan.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Calm down.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: This new study found that people underestimate how enjoyable, even
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: boring conversations can be.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Not really not all of us.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Whether it's chatting about the weather, sports, office life, quick
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: exchanges often turn out.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: To be more interesting and rewarding than we expect.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: That's only if there's somebody there making jokes, somebody they're
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: chasing that hit. Researchers ran multiple experiments and found it
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: didn't matter if the topic was exciting, who picked it,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: or whether the people talking were strangers or friends, most
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: conversations were better than predicted. In a time when loneliness
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: is a real problem, these everyday chats can boost mood,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: create a sense of connection, and make us feel more included.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Well, of course that's what they're going.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: To say, And they say small talk is good for us,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: not all of us. It's good for some of us,
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: you know. It just is Coca Cola the most iconic
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: American brand around the world, if not the most, it's
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: up there, I would argue it's the most. And really,
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: you can go just about anywhere in the world and
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: find Coca Cola products, but not everywhere. There are three
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: countries on the planet that still do not officially sell
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Coca Cola. Care to guess which three countries? I'll give
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: you a second. I'm not going to give you a
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: long but I'll give you a second to think about it.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: And if you can think of at least one of them, congratulations.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: They actually shouldn't be that difficult. I got two of
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: them just right top of my head. The third one
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: makes sense, but I didn't know for sure, all right,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: So the one that was the least obvious one, I'll
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: say first. I'll start with that one. Russia makes sense.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: I just figured they probably had it. Cuba and North
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Korea or the other two. So that's your three that
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: don't The US has had a trade embargo with Cuba
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: since the sixties. No Western products are sold. It's tightly
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: isolated in North Korea.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: So no.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: And then although Coke was one of the many American
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: brands that began being sold in Russia when the Soviet
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Union fell, the company pulled out of the market in
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty two when Russia invaded Ukraine. Okay, well, I
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: knew it had been sold there. I just didn't realize
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: that that makes sense. I didn't have to dig into
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: this a little bit to see why. So that's why
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: it's gone from there. So people can get it, but
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: they have to do it through the black market. So
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: it's like getting Cuban cigarettes here, I guess. So, if
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: you want to sleep better and distress and make your
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: life better, experts say sleep with your phone in another
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: room or at least far away from you when you
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: go to bed. Nearly nine and ten Americans sleep with
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: their phones within reach, even though research says it can
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: really mess up your sleep. Studies have found that cutting
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: back on your phone use at bedtime helps people fall
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: asleep faster, sleep better.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: And wake up in a better mood.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: And it's basically like people will get the.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Apps to shout.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: I've got a friend who uses an app and it
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: helps her, and that's great, But that's saying you don't
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: even necessarily have to do that to shut down, you know,
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: when you're able to use your phone necessarily, although that
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: works for some. Basically, just put it in another room,
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Just put it in another room, let it charge overnight,
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: and then take that brain break before bed. And to
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: the people who that's their alarm clock, I don't know,
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know how you just leave it in the room.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: I guess across the room and force you to get
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: out of bed maybe to turn it off. That'll do
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: it for this Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks to
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch
• 25:55
