  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the Wes Carroll Morning Show.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, 18th day of September. I'm Wes. Thanks for
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: joining me. It is Friday morning, and this is when
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: we take some time to look at some of the
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: strange and bizarre news from all around the world. But
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: before we do that, Of course, we like to start
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: our Friday with a little bit of positivity. Some good news,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: not just strange, weird things to snark at. Oh, no.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Some positive news. And we have a couple of stories here.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: First and foremost, did you hear about the 48-year-old father
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: of three who is playing college football at San Jose
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: City College in California? His name is Justin Buzzard. And
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: at 48 years old, he's wearing the jersey number 48,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: and he lined up as a freshman defensive end for
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars. Three decades after his original college football dreams
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: were derailed by an injury, encouraged by his son Justin
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: to hit the gym, he packed on 10 pounds of muscle,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: earned a spot on the roster. Now, weeks into the season,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: he's already breaking up passes and trading football tips with
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: his high school-aged sons. Justin admits that the hamstrings are
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: constantly sore from all the sprinting he's doing, but he
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: also says he's having a blast. I haven't hit anyone
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: in a football game in 30 years, so that felt
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: good to do, he says. It's a great story. This
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: is the kind of thing that gets made into a movie,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: starring Michael Chiklis, isn't it? Isn't this kind of one
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: of those Rudy-type stories, except I'm going to tell you what,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I'm a little older than this guy. Not much, just
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: a little older than this guy. I think I pulled
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: something in my neck just reading the story. Everything about
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: this makes me hurt. So good for him. I'm happy
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: for him. I'm happy for his family. I'm happy that
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: his high school age kids can go watch him play.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: If he's a freshman and he's got four years of this,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: he will be older than me by the time he
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: finishes his senior year. So good luck. I hope it
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: all continues to go well. But at least he's been
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: able to play after he wasn't able to play from injury.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: back when he was appropriately aged. But what does that
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: even mean anymore? He's appropriately aged if he's out there
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: playing now. That's what I say. How about this story?
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: So kids living at the bottom of the, this is
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the Juha Grand Canyon, had a rough time getting to
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: school because it included a three-hour trek climbing over 1,600
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: feet up the canyon walls. Now, thanks to an engineering marvel,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: the dangerous mountain climb has been transformed into one of
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: the coolest elevator rides on the planet. So instead of
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: climbing cliffs, the students now take a pair of glass-walled
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: elevators that zip them up the canyon rim in under
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: a minute. The tallest of the two carries kids 945
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: feet at 15 feet per second and holds up to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: 81 passengers at a time. Once they reach the top,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: the students hop on a scenic 30-minute cable car ride
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: right to their classroom doors, saving them all a bunch
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: of time every day, keeping them safe and energized as
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: they start their lessons. I love it. I think that
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: would be the coolest way to get to school ever.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I know that as parents, that would probably be a
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: little nerve-wracking every time they got on these things and
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: were zipping around that fast. But I think it's one
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: of those stories that they're not going to be able
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: to grow up and tell their kids, when I was
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: your age, I had to walk up 1,600 feet or whatever.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: They just kind of got in a glass elevator and
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: zipped around. And the kids are going to go, big deal.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: That sounds like fun. I'd like to do that. You
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: didn't have any hardships, dad or mom. All right, let's
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: get to some strange and bizarre news from around the world.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: We'll start in China where doctors made a startling discovery
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: after a 35-year-old man sought treatment for blood in his urine.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Scans revealed multiple sewing needles throughout his body, including one
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: lodged inside his heart. According to a medical case report,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the needle had pierced the protective sack around the heart
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and was moving around. with the heart's left ventricle. Doctors
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: believe the man likely inserted the needles himself over time,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: although neither he nor his family could explain how they
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: got there. Surgeons successfully removed the needle, posing the greatest risk.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: The patient recovered and was stable at a nine-month follow-up.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Researchers say such cases are extremely rare, with only 34
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: similar heart needle cases reported worldwide. If he didn't put
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: them there and his family doesn't know how they got there,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: there is something maybe for Dr. House to figure out.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: You know, I didn't watch that show. I assume that's
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the kind of stuff he did, though.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know. How do you get needles in your heart?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: It's weird, right? That's not a normal thing to have
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: in your heart. A public library in Concord, New Hampshire
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: no longer charges late fees for borrowed items, which was
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: great news for 84-year-old John Hansen, who recently returned a
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: magazine that was 132 years overdue. Yeah, 84 years old,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: but 132 years overdue. Hansen brought back an 1894 edition
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: of the Century Illustrated monthly magazine to the Concord Public Library.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: The magazine... which still bears the library's book plate, was
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: supposed to be checked out for just one week. If
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: overdue fines had been enforced, Hansen could have owed more
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: than $ 1, 200. Hansen says he discovered the magazine during a
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: move back in 1966, still has no idea how it
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: ended up in his possession. Library staff were stunned to
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: find that this was the case and that archivists say
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the century-old publication offers a fascinating glimpse into life and
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: issues of of the late 1800s. That's pretty wild that
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: they would have something that goes that far back and
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the fact that it was actually returned to them. It's
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: also a good story. Okay, let's get to Florida because
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: we always end up in Florida eventually, don't we? Where
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: a driver was a little too focused on staying fresh
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: when he should have been more focused on staying on
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the road. The Florida Highway Patrol says 22-year-old man from
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Auburndale crashed his pickup truck on the Polk Parkway near
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Lakeland while applying deodorant while driving. Troopers say that the
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: truck struck a crash pad and ended up perched on
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: a concrete barrier wall. Nobody was injured. In a follow-up
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: that only Florida could provide, troopers confirmed that deodorant involved
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: was a stick, not a spray. Authorities say the crash
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: is a reminder that distracted driving can include more than
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: just cell phones. Yeah, remember that. Deodorant is not something
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: to do while you're driving anyway. And I know there's
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: people that will put on makeup. while they're driving and
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: things like that. That's also dangerous, but the deodorant, you
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: got to have some experience. And I'm not encouraging you
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: to have experience, but you got to know what you're
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: doing if you're going to put deodorant on while you're driving.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Wisconsin now, where a family got quite
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: a surprise when the dirty old hose they found under
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the hood of their car turned out to not be
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: a hose at all, but a four-foot boa constrictor. The
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: family truly thought there was a strange hose in the
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: engine compartment until it moved and looked back at them.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: They called local animal control, which brought in a reptile
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: rescue expert to remove the snake. And after some careful coaxing,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the boa was safely captured and now held while officials
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: look for the owner. If no one claims it, the
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: snake will be placed in a new permanent home. Uh,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: it's a, it's a, it's a monster. That's a big
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: snake to find, uh, in your, uh, under the hood
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: of your car. I assume looking for some kind of
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: warmth as would probably be the case for a snake
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: crawling up in there. But, uh, let's go to Italy
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: now where a man under investigation after airport officials discovered
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the dried head of a crocodile hidden in his luggage.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Authorities say the man had flown in from Miami via
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Istanbul and allegedly wrapped the reptile head in a brown
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: paper to avoid detection. The item was seized because it
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: lacked permits required for protected species under international wildlife laws.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: If convicted, he could face fines up to 200,000 euros
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: or as much as a year in prison, officials say.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: The case is part of a broader crackdown on the
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: illegal wildlife trade, warning travelers that animal souvenirs can lead
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: to serious legal consequences. Now, if this was Happy Gilmore
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: returning the head of the gator that took his hand
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: to Chubbs, I think he could be forgiven. But apparently
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: that was not the case. Sorry, I should have given
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: you a spoiler alert for Happy Gilmore. My bad. Let's
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: go to Minnesota now, where a man accused of dealing
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: drugs allegedly tried a unique marketing tactic. Customer loyalty cards.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: You know, like what you might have at a sandwich
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: shop or coffee shop. Buy enough drugs. Get some free,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I guess. I don't know. You know, to be a
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: submarine captain. Authorities say 27-year-old Andy Salencia gave discount-style cards
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: branded Flower Daddy. At least he's got his marketing down.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: To people buying magic mushrooms and other narcotics. Investigators say
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Salencia sold mushrooms to an undercover agent, claimed he was
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: traveling to Oregon and Colorado to restock. During the investigation,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: police reportedly seized marijuana products, from suspected customers and later
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: uncovered large quantities of mushrooms, marijuana, cash, scales, and a handgun,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: and then the loyalty cards, branded Flower Daddy, during searches
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: of homes and vehicles linked to Silencia. Police did not
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: mention how much of the discount the cards were offering.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Prosecutors say the operation was based near Minnesota State University
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: in Mankato. Silencia, that reminds me of Little House. Right? Mankato!
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: That's where it is. Silencia now faces seven felony drug charges,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: including counts that carry potential decades-long prison sentences. A judge
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: set bail at $ 200, 000. Officials say he is also subject
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: to an immigration detainer and arrest warrant. Just think of
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: what the Ingalls family would have felt about all this
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: going on at Mankato. You know? That's not good. You
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: don't need all that going on in Mankato.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Not at all.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Not even a little bit. And finally, police in Chatham County, Georgia,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: searching for a man caught on surveillance video in bizarre
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: overnight trespassing incident. Authorities say the suspect entered a private
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: property area early morning hours using the homeowner's pool and
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: hot tub and then spent more than 10 minutes doing
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: what police described as intensely interacting with a rubber duck
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: floating in the hot tub. Before leaving, police say he
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: took several luxury beach towels worth about $ 1, 200 and rode
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: away on a bicycle. Investigators have released images of the
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: suspect and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Intensely interacting with a rubber duck. Today's show brought to
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: you by Columbus State University's Coca-Cola Space Science Center, inspiring
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: career holders. that really of all ages. I mean, they
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: do it for school-age kids as school-age kids visit the
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Coca-Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: right now. And you can learn more about maybe getting
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: your degree on their website, ccssc.org. While you're there, Also
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School of
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Music from Columbus State University called Music Under the Dome.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia?
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: right here in Columbus and Inside the planetarium at the
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Coca-Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: and also check out when the next astronomy night's coming
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: up where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: at the Coca-Cola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get somewhere
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming astronomy night
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: events also on their website. It's CCSSC.org. As Sean Cruzan says, CharlieCharlieSamSamCharlie.org.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I just remind you that it stands for Coca-Cola Space
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Science Center, CCSSC.org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial...
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: or residential, maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: away for you. And while they're there, you can always
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: door system. that you can put down and you can
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: come help. And they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: More West Carol Morning Show right after the break. Well,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: every year new words and definitions get added to the
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Merriam-Webster Dictionary and a lot of pop culture or kind
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: of trending things make their way in the list. And,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: or the dictionary, I should say in this year, uh,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: the list of words going in vibe coding, parasocial yacht rock.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: How's that not been a thing already? Uh, Rick roll again.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: How's that not been a thing already? Uh, Sunday scaries,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: all things that have jumped in there. Some food related, uh, issues, chili, crisp, uh,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: super food, bowel, uh, cuffing season. California Sober, Glow Up, Promposal, AGI,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Artificial General Intelligence, Lux Maxing, Limerence, Mandela Effect, Shapewear, and
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Neckbeard all have made their way into the dictionary. And
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I would go through some of the definitions. I don't
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: think some of them need any defining. And I'm going
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: to be completely honest with you. A couple of these
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of myself. And I like to think
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I'm at least relatively caught up on some of these
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: trending things, but not so much. So, you know, you
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: can look them up yourself. Just go back and listen
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: to it again if you need to. But a couple
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: of these, I don't know. Rick Roll, we all know.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Matter of fact, I was at the grocery store the
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: other day, and Never Gonna Give You Up came on
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: the store overhead. And I thought, well, everybody in here
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: just got Rick Rolled. at Publix. So, you know, there
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: you go. And also on the subject of new words,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: every year the Merriam-Webster dictionary was at one point a
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: new word like these, which means you may actually be
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: older than some of the words that you use daily,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: other than these, of course. Merriam-Webster has an online feature
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: called Time Traveler, and it lets users enter any year,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: like their birth year, to see what words were first
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: recorded in the dictionary at that time. The tool offers
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: a fun look at how language evolves from pop culture
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: terms to technology buzzwords. So, yeah, there you go. Another
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: reason to love coffee is that it helps you get
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: pumped up. A new study found that people who drink
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: more coffee tended to have more muscle mass and less
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: body fat, even when their BMI was about the same
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: as people who drank little or no coffee. Researchers analyzed
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: more than 2,000 adults in Finland and found that the
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: heaviest coffee drinkers had lower levels of total and visceral
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: fat and higher levels of skeletal muscle. In other words,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: the scale might not show much difference, but body composition did.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: So before you rush out and have five, six, seven cups,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: there's a catch to it. The study only found a
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: connection not proof that coffee caused those results. Researchers say
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: it's possible that coffee drinkers have other habits that contribute
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: to a healthier body composition. Still, it's one more piece
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: of evidence suggesting that your daily cup of coffee might
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: come with some unexpected perks beyond just helping you survive
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: the morning. I appreciate this addendum to this mentioning that,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: you know, it may not be a direct cause because
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: in many cases we get studies like this where they
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: don't acknowledge that. When they say things like drinking a
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Diet Coke or a Coke Zero, It can actually cause
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: you to get fatter and people go, oh my gosh,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: look at this. It's going to make you fatter. But
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: the reality is there's this little addendum to it. You're
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: more likely to eat a dessert or a larger dessert
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: because you didn't have those sugar calories with a regular
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: sugar soft drink. So I think it's important. I really
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: appreciate that this at least acknowledges that there is a
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: little bit of a clause in this. Uh, okay. So
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: you get married and, uh, as many people probably did
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: over the summer and we'll be doing, uh, as we
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: get closer to the holidays that happens. So once upon
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: a time, the big decision was about, you know, changing
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: your name and, uh, the process of doing all of that. Well, now, uh,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: social media handles and usernames are on the table when
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: it comes to making changes for some updating an Instagram handle.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: part of celebrating that next chapter. One bride might hold
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: off on posting wedding photos until they could get the
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: name changed. That might be something that a bride wants
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: to do. Others use the change as an official way
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: to introduce their new name to family and friends and
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: relatives and whatnot. And some couples basically say, you know,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: they're going to get new social media names together. That
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: seems odd, but some people might want to do that.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: But not everyone rushes to do that. Some people who've
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: built careers and personal brands online might be reluctant to
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: change their username. They've been spending years getting established. Writers, creators,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: influencers worry about losing recognition, making themselves harder to find.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: or disrupting their online presence. For others, sticking with their
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: original handle simply feels more true to who they are.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Friday edition of the show.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons, patreon.com slash Wes Carroll.
