  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the Wes Carroll Morning Show.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Thursday morning, 17th day of September. I'm Wes. Thanks for
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: joining me. It's also, for me, something personal. It's Family
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Mart Day. One of my very first jobs, my first
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: real job, I mean, technically I had a job at
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: a different grocery store was my first job, but I
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: did not work very many hours at that store. And
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: that was contrary to what I was promised when I
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: got hired or what I was expecting when I got hired.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Maybe I wasn't promised. That's what I felt I was
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: going to get more hours. And I had a friend
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: who was working at Family Mart, which was an A
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: & P store, a large A & P store in
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: my hometown of Columbus, Georgia, for those listening outside of
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: the Chattahoochee Valley. So I took a job there after
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: just a few weeks, said, I'm going to go there,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I'll get more hours. And I did. And I worked
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: at that store until the day it closed, which was
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the 17th of April. September, 1994. So it's a, it's
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: family mart day. And I always remember that the, the
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: date of the closing easily because our store number was
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: nine 18. And I just remember that we were family
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: mart until closing on nine 17. And then on 18,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: we became a different store, but anyway, so that was
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: my job prior to my broadcasting career that began like
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: right after that. So I think about Family Mart. And
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: my Family Mart brethren. Brothers and sisters. You know. Think
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: about them on this day. I had some good people
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I worked with at that store. Some, of course, no
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: longer with us. That was a long time ago. But
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: some still with us. And I occasionally see them out somewhere.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Hi.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: That's about it. It's not like we have a reunion
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: or anything. But I fondly. Think about that. And one
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: other fun fact about me, by the way, is the
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: day that they were closing the store down, on this
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: day in 1994, I was leaving work and they were
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: taking the marquee sign down. They were taking all of
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the letters that spelled out Family Mart. And I just
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: happened to be walking out as they were taking the
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: F down. And I said, hey, could you put that
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: in the back of my truck? And they were like, sure.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: And then they did. And for many years I had
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the F in storage and then a huge storm came,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: knocked down a tree and destroyed the F. Now I
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: still have pieces of the F. Some of the, some
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: of the like plexiglass, the green plexiglass that was part
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: of the F, but it was, it was a shelf.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I had a shelf in my apartment that was made
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: up of that F for a long time. It was
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: a bookshelf. It was a great book and it lit up. I,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Wired it up so I could plug it in and
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: it was great. The big war. Anyway, enough about me
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: on this family mart day, 2026. Just thought I would share. That's,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: it's just a part of my story. We all have
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: those jobs, those first jobs, those first career paths. This
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: was the beginning of, uh, of my work history. And
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: now that my son is working in a grocery store,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: he's taking the torch and he's running with it, you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: or cashiering with it as it may be. A couple
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: of things for today. And they're kind of in the,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I know it's early. We haven't even gotten to the midterms.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I know we're coming up quickly. Midterms are coming up
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: quickly and we are fast approaching those as we get
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: passed all of the primaries around and all of that.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: So we're getting into that phase, I guess, runoffs or
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: whatever they had in some places. But we're getting into
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: this phase of the election for the midterms. And we'll
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: also not only do that, but then we will just
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: rapidly dive headfirst into what's already being talked about. And
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: that's what's up for the 2028 presidential election. And, you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: it's pretty much kind of understood at this point that
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Republicans will want to put J.D. Vance, the vice president,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: in place. Whether or not, I mean, there are going
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: to be some that are going to run against him.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: There was talk, you know, for a while about Marco Rubio,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Secretary of State, being somebody that would be considered. But
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: he has said he doesn't want to run against Vance.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: There may be some others that want to do that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Republicans will likely have a primary to decide who the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: candidate is. Democrats, they like to kind of dodge that sometimes.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: They like to just kind of duck and dodge the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: whole primary process and then accuse Republicans of not, you know,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: honoring democracy. So speaking of that, we're going to talk
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: about Kamala Harris and how she became the Democrat nominee.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: in just a minute. But first, what I want to
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: talk about, because I've already got this queued up, and
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I hope it stays queued up, because I don't want
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: to have to sit through an ad. I don't want
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: to have to stall while we wait on an ad
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: to run. One of the people that is apparently gearing
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: up for a presidential run for Democrats, and this name
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: has been floated around even before she turned 35. Her
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: name was coming up as, hey, this is AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Jenny from the block, would be someone who would probably
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: run for president. She's very popular in her district. That's
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: why they kind of created her as a candidate in
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: that district, because they knew there was no way that
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: she could lose in that district. It seemed like an
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: easy fit, a slam dunk. It's the reason they kind
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: of carpet-bagged Hillary Clinton into New York. when she was
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: running for office. So you create these situations where you say, well,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: this is a surefire place that we can win. Hillary
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Clinton wasn't going to win like in Arkansas. They weren't
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: going to go back home to Arkansas for her to run.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: So they just kind of fit her into a spot
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: where they said, okay, she can win. And that's what
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: they did with AOC. This was like creating a boy band.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: You know, they go out and they go, we need
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: a shy one and we need an athletic one and whatever.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: That's basically it, except this was one person. They were like,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: it was a casting call, and they said, who can
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: we cast to be this candidate to kind of reach
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: out to the younger generation? Whether she's a legitimate candidate
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: seems highly unlikely, but, you know, crazier things have happened.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Crazier things have happened and crazier people have gotten the
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: nomination than Without anybody even having to vote for him.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: But she, AOC, was recently asked about the topic we
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: talked about yesterday, and that is the Macklemore controversy. If
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: you missed yesterday's show, I don't want to go too
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: much into it, but he's a rapper. He had like
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: one real hit song. Maybe a couple others in the
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: hip-hop community. I don't know. I don't know anybody that
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: knows a second Macklemore song. It's not like he's ever
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: been asked to be at the Super Bowl halftime show.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: But then again, you only really need one hit to
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: do that. So they they had they had Macklemore was
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: on tour and he was opening for Ed Sheeran. And
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: there were some other people, I guess, opening on this
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: tour and. And Macklemore apparently thinks it's funny or has
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: in the past thought it was funny to dress up
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: as like a stereotypical Jewish person and make fun of them.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Like it's like dressing in blackface, but for Jewish people,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: that's what he was doing on stage. And, you know,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: ha ha ha, because, you know, the country for some
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: reason has decided that anti-Semitism is okay. I don't know,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: like not all of it, but some parts of the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: country that used to be horrified at it, decided, you know,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: this is just, this is just going to be okay
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: in certain circumstances. So, and because Israel has been allies,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: you know, with America, largely the more conservative side of
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: America over the years, and I guess that's the big
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: divide in a lot of ways. But anyway, so he
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: did that, I guess, a number of times, and then
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: he's been going on stage in this concert tour and
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: sang Free Palestine and And to mixed results, by the way.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: And I talked about this yesterday. I know it's a cheap,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: low-hanging thing where you make a comment like that, you're
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: just trying to get an easy response from the crowd.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Even that wasn't easy because by most accounts, people are
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: looking around and some people are cheering, some people are
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: not cheering, maybe booing. You probably don't boo because you
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: don't want to be singled out and beaten up and
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: then everybody cheer the person who beat you up. So
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: He was dropped from this tour. The owner of the
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: New England Patriots, Robert Kraft, decided that that show was
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: not going to come to his stadium that he owns personally.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: And he talked to some other fans. guess, owners of
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: stadiums and teams, and they decided, like a block of
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: them decided, that they just didn't want this tour to
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: come around. Now, I told you yesterday that Ed Sheeran's
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: defense of all of this as the main, the headliner
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: on this act, is he said that the promoter is
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: the one who books all the acts for him and
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: that it wasn't his call. Now, I have since seen
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: a number of people saying, surely Ed Sheeran has some
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: say over the opening act, and he knows what's been
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: said on stage in his shows, so he should have
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: thought better of that. I wasn't discounting that as a
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: realistic possibility yesterday. I was just pointing out what he said,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: that's all. And if what he said was true... Did
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: he have an opportunity to speak up?
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Certainly.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: But he said, I'm trying to not get political and
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I'm trying not to get involved in all this. I
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: don't talk about politics. And again, I find it hard
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: to believe that anybody in the music world hasn't talked
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: about politics to some degree. Anyway, so AOC was asked
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: what she thought about Macklemore and whether she would continue
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: to listen to Ed Sheeran. And she basically said she
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: had if one of his songs came on the radio
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: or if she heard Ed Sheeran, she wouldn't listen to him.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: And she's upset about one thing in particular, and that
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: is free speech.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: It happened with the act and not just in removing
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Macklemore from the lineup, but when you see what Robert
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Kraft did to line up all of the stadiums to
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: censor speech in that one specific way, it's become clear
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: that this is not just about one music artist or
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: two music artists, but this is about how just a
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: handful of stadium owners and the elite can prevent an
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: entire massive issue. In this case, the genocide in Gaza,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: but it doesn't stop there. It could be speaking out
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: about AI. It could be speaking out about any issue
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: that you can now just get a handful of stadium
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: owners to ensure that an entire person's career can be
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: jeopardized if they speak out about any issue.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: First of all, the fact that she brought up AI
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: in this is interesting to me. We have hit this period.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I think I'm going to talk more about this next week,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: but we have hit this period where Democrats are talking
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: a lot about AI. There seems to be something going
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: on and it feels like it's some sort of a
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: lead up to the midterms. And I'm starting to wonder,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: do they think that they have no chance of winning
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: and this is just kind of they're building in an
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: excuse so that they can say that the election was
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: stolen or AI was involved? I just feel like that
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: may be something to watch for, okay, if that's how
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: this plays out. Anyway, so yeah, apparently she's now against
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: cancel culture because that's what she's describing. I wonder where
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: she felt when Gina Carano was fired from Disney and
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: her whole career as an actress was ruined. She wasn't
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: able to get roles. She had to go work for
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: some smaller production companies and all the people who have
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: suffered at the hands of cancel culture, because that's what
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: she's describing. When in reality, you have some Jewish business
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: owners saying, I don't want this message coming to my stadium.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: And I own the stadium, so I'm not going to
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: allow these opening acts to spread this. Also on the
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: subject of, and I don't want to leave myself a
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: lot of time, but on the subject of the presidential races,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: and I just thought this was an interesting connection to that.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw, but Gavin Newsom has,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: in an interview, said that he will not run for
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: president if Kamala Harris runs, which tells me, knowing how
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: badly he has emoted that he wants to be president,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I suspect that there's a good possibility that she is
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: not going to run for president. And this is a
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: very diplomatic way for him to try to score some
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: points with black voters, specifically black women, so that when
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: she doesn't run and he does run, it looks like, well,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: it was good of him to not get in the way.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: There's a former Democratic fundraiser who switched party affiliation. Uh,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Lindy Lee is her name and she, uh, basically talked
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: about the, uh, 2024 election, uh, in her new book
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: where she talks about the polling numbers and how Kamala
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Harris being picked as the, uh, Democrats did an internal polling.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: And it said Kamala Harris was the worst possible candidate
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: that they had to run against Donald Trump in that election.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: And they still gave her the nomination. She says the
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: polling numbers went directly against the narrative that the party
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: wanted to espouse. They knew that skipping over Kamala Harris
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: would be a slap in the face to the bedrock
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: of the party, which is black women in particular, and
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: they just would not have it. And her book is
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: called Unburdened. That's the book about the events leading up
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: to Biden stepping down. And she says that Pete Buttigieg...
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer were all considered possible replacements for Biden.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: And then, of course, Harris and Harris was the lowest
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: in the group. She says Kamala Harris came in dead last.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: It wasn't even close. Pete Buttigieg, who hilariously received zero
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: percent support from the black vote, did better overall than
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: she did. And yet the party is so straightjacketed by
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: DEI that they had no choice but to appoint her. Again,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: appoint her. So it's interesting that we now have people
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: saying that she might run again. There's been talk about that.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: And then this thing with Gavin Newsom, who has done
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: this little move, and I think it's all strategic. I
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: told you on radio, I've told you here, the photos
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: of Gavin Newsom The first time that Joe Biden left
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: the White House to go on a trip overseas, Gavin
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Newsom was there taking photos of himself walking around and
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: sitting at the desk and trying to look presidential. This
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: is something that he wants badly. So don't think for
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: a minute that he is just being some noble guy
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: and saying, I'll just step aside. He says it would
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: be bad to have two people from California running against
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: each other. I don't know why that would be bad.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: You can't have them both on the ballot. You can't
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: be president and vice president. You can't do that when
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: you're from the same state. But I don't know why
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: that would be a bad thing necessarily. So we'll keep
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: an eye on where that goes and also keep an
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: eye on this AI thing because there's something going on
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: with how much AI is being talked about, not only
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: by the people who And let's be honest, if you
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: are one of the people that are running AI services
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: and you're asking for government legislation to keep you regulated,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: it sounds to me like you're trying to be involved
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: in that regulation so that when it does come, you've
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: had some say in it and it's not coming from
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: the other side of it when you've been caught doing
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: something wrong. But it also feels like with politicians chiming
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: in and Bernie Sanders and now AOC and many on
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: the left starting to jump in and have conversations about
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: AI in public, it just feels like there's something brewing there.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: And I don't know exactly what it is, but we'll
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: see how this plays out over the next six, seven weeks.
• 18:05

  Speaker 2: today's show brought to you by overhead door company of
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: columbus for all of your garage door needs commercial or
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: residential maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: away for you. And while they're there, you can always
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: come help. And they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: More West Carroll Morning Show right after the break. A
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: new Yahoo survey done of 50 children aged 5 to 14,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: they say, is giving us some hope for the future.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Just a small, faint glimmer of hope, if you will.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: The kids were asked what their dream job is, and
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: the answer's probably a little bit surprising. They were surprising
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: to me when I read them. Many naming the typical
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: careers like doctor, teacher, astronaut, professional athlete, actor, firefighter, all
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: as ambitions for them. Some of those jobs, of course,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: they got no shot at. They'll be gone. I don't
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: know that actor or, I mean, some of those others
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: will still be there, I guess. There'll be changes to
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: these jobs because of AI. How about that? We're going to,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: firefighter and doctor, astronaut may be one that could eventually become,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: but anyway. So here we go. What is interesting about
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: this particular survey wasn't that those were, because those are
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: kind of standard kid answers, right? Actors will still be around.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: It's just, they're just kind of in trouble. But apparently
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: none of them said they wanted to be social media
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: influencers or A lot of kids said they wanted careers
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: that would help other people. And that meant being like
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: doctors and protecting animals and supporting people in need. And
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: because they're kids, of course, because this started at five
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: years old, there were a couple of answers like tornado chasers,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: ninja chicken nuggets. That kid that wants to grow up
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: and be a chicken nugget, you go find your dream, buddy.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: AI is not going to take that job away from you.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: You just go and you follow your dreams. A new
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: twist on a candy bar that doesn't need a twist.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: It's kind of perfect the way it is, is getting
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: ready to hit shelves. Snickers launching a limited time banana
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: nut bread flavor available exclusively at Walgreens locations. The bar
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: keeps the traditional milk, chocolate, caramel, and peanuts, but swaps
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: a banana-flavored nougat inspired by banana bread, and apparently you
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: can start getting those tomorrow on Friday. So the banana
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: nut bread flavored Snickers.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It doesn't look right. You look at
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: the picture, it just doesn't look right. Nothing about this
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: thing looks like it's supposed to. But You know, whatever.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: They don't really ask me. Hey, good news if you're
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: not a fan of hard workouts. A short, easy jog
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: may be all it takes to improve your mood and
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: mental sharpness. Researchers in Japan found that healthy adults who
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: jogged at a very light pace for just 10 minutes
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: showed better focus on a cognitive test and reported feeling
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: more positive afterward. The pace was so slow that that
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: it was close to a brisk walk. Brain monitoring also
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: revealed increased activity in regions tied to executive function and mood.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Scientists say the findings suggest even gentle exercise can deliver
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: immediate mental benefits, making it an easier option for people
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: who don't enjoy intense workouts. So that's good. I mean,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: just being able to do some sort of exercise makes
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: a difference. I was talking a minute ago, this is
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: what made me talk about it, when I said some
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: of those jobs might not exist anymore. Because there's a
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Japanese tech company, GMO Internet Group, unveiled a specialized ambulance
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: designed for humanoid robots. So rather than transporting human patients,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: the vehicle operates as a mobile repair shop. and has
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: a backup robot along for the ride. If technicians can't
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: repair a damaged robot on site, they switch out the
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: broken bot for a working replacement while taking the broken
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: unit back to headquarters for servicing. I know this is
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: in Japan, but what is going on in Japan that
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: they got so many of these robots that they need
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: a robot ambulance and that they're just swapping them out?
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, I got one of those vacuum cleaners that
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: runs around my house, but At no point would I
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: expect someone to show up at my house to fix
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: my robot vacuum cleaner with a replacement of my robot
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: vacuum cleaner while it's being replaced. An online beauty trend
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: sweeping social media. Some young men are cutting or shaving
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: their eyelashes in an attempt to look more masculine. Spurred
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: on by looks maxing. I hate those stupid words when
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: they put them together. Looks maxing. There it goes. Videos
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: of barbers and salon workers trimming men's eyelashes have popped
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: up on platforms like TikTok. Not surprisingly, medical experts say
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: the trend is dangerous, pointing out it's risky to have
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: sharp scissors near your eyes. Also, eyelashes are kind of
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: important as they shield the eyes from dust, debris, sweat,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: and UV rays. Cutting them exposes the eyes to irritation
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: and potential infections while taking months to grow back. And
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: then if you decide you want to have them, Then
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: you got to like glue them on. I can tell
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: you from my experiences, Mother Ginger and the Nutcracker, that's
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: not fun. You got to do what you got to
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: do for a role if you're performing. But it's not
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: fun gluing them and then taking them back off again.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Thursday edition of the show.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
