Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:05
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, nineteenth day of August. Tim Wes, thanks for
0:15
Speaker 2: joining me. I got bitten. It happened. There's a reason
0:20
Speaker 2: that I do things a certain way. But this year,
0:23
Speaker 2: because we were getting closer and closer to deadlines on things,
0:26
Speaker 2: I thought, I've got it scheduled. I've got a time,
0:30
Speaker 2: i've got a date. I'm ready to go. And I
0:34
Speaker 2: went ahead and made the announcement and there was a
0:37
Speaker 2: scheduling conflict that came up and it bit me. So
0:41
Speaker 2: I can say this at this stage of the game.
0:44
Speaker 2: It appears, at the very least as of this morning,
0:47
Speaker 2: Tom Welling, Superman from Smallville, will not be joining us
0:52
Speaker 2: for this year's Dragon Con pregame show. Other guests in
0:56
Speaker 2: the works working on it. I can all I can
0:59
Speaker 2: tell you definitively is that Tricia Helfer will be on
1:02
Speaker 2: the show. I've done that interview. It was great at
1:04
Speaker 2: a great time talking with her. So and when I
1:08
Speaker 2: say it was great, I just mean she was a
1:10
Speaker 2: great interview. That's what I mean. I make no editorial
1:13
Speaker 2: commentary on my ability to interview anybody, but I'm just
1:17
Speaker 2: I can comfortably tell you that with some other names
1:21
Speaker 2: in the works. But worst case scenario, we had a
1:24
Speaker 2: great time with Tricia Helfer and these others. They're in
1:28
Speaker 2: the works. Something else will happen, for sure. I just
1:32
Speaker 2: I jumped the gun on calling it for Tom Welling.
1:35
Speaker 2: That was the mistake I made. There is a possibility
1:37
Speaker 2: I'll be talking with him though at dragon Con. So
1:40
Speaker 2: it's a scheduling conflict. Things happen. People get booked for things,
1:45
Speaker 2: and they have places to be, and that's apparently what happened.
1:48
Speaker 2: So it's all good. It's all good. It's on me
1:52
Speaker 2: for announcing it before it was done. It was scheduled,
1:55
Speaker 2: it was ready to go. But the dragon Con Pregame
1:58
Speaker 2: Show will be available on radio and podcast on the
2:04
Speaker 2: twenty ninth of this month, the weekend before dragon Con,
2:07
Speaker 2: which happens Labor Day weekend downtown Atlanta. DragonCon dot org
2:12
Speaker 2: for all of your membership information so you can lock
2:16
Speaker 2: those in, full list of guests will be attending, and
2:20
Speaker 2: the dragon Con Pregame Show and dragon Con Pregame Show
2:23
Speaker 2: podcast powered by Columbus State University's Coli Space Science Center.
2:27
Speaker 2: That's on me. See I go against my policy, which
2:32
Speaker 2: is don't talk about who the guests are until the
2:36
Speaker 2: interviews are done, really like once they're in the can,
2:39
Speaker 2: as we say, when they're in the can, then you
2:42
Speaker 2: can say that's who's going to be on the show.
2:45
Speaker 2: And it does not appear at this point that the
2:48
Speaker 2: interview will be able to take place in time for
2:50
Speaker 2: it to be a part of the show on the
2:53
Speaker 2: twenty ninth, I have deadlines for getting it ready to
2:56
Speaker 2: air that weekend, so anyway, but I know Trisha Helfer
3:00
Speaker 2: will be there, and I got a couple other names
3:02
Speaker 2: I'm not I dare not say. I don't say initials,
3:05
Speaker 2: I don't say what they're from. I'm not going to
3:07
Speaker 2: say anything. We're just gonna let this play out. That's
3:10
Speaker 2: what we're gonna do. And you can listen to past
3:13
Speaker 2: episodes of the Dragon Con pregame show podcast wherever you
3:17
Speaker 2: get this podcast. Some of the guests from past shows
3:20
Speaker 2: will be at the convention this year, including one of
3:23
Speaker 2: our guests who's actually been on twice, Ross mar Kwan,
3:26
Speaker 2: who was on The Walking Dead part of the Marvel Universe,
3:29
Speaker 2: a Cinematic Universe and done the X Men ninety seven series.
3:34
Speaker 2: He plays Professor X in that in the reboot of that,
3:37
Speaker 2: and a number of other series that he's been a
3:40
Speaker 2: part of, and that's one that I can tell you
3:42
Speaker 2: and I had a great time talking with him twice.
3:44
Speaker 2: Once was for a pregame show many years ago, and
3:49
Speaker 2: then we got to know each other. And then he
3:51
Speaker 2: came to Columbus for an event and we were going
3:54
Speaker 2: to of course hang out there, so we did that,
3:56
Speaker 2: and then while we were hanging out, I thought, well,
3:58
Speaker 2: let's just do an interview for dragon Com because you're
4:00
Speaker 2: going to be coming back. So that's what we did.
4:03
Speaker 2: So that one I had like well and truly in
4:06
Speaker 2: the can way ahead of time, but a couple of
4:08
Speaker 2: interviews with him and a great impressionist too got him
4:12
Speaker 2: to do a few of those in those interviews. But anyway,
4:16
Speaker 2: so that's coming up on August of twenty ninth, and
4:19
Speaker 2: thanks to Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center
4:22
Speaker 2: for sponsoring him. I just think it's worth mentioning a
4:26
Speaker 2: couple of things that have gone on yesterday concerning of
4:30
Speaker 2: Florida Byron Donald's getting the Republican nomination for governor as DeSantis.
4:40
Speaker 2: You know, turning out and we're going to get a
4:43
Speaker 2: new governor down in Florida, and he is getting ready
4:48
Speaker 2: to run against a former Republican in David Jolly, who
4:53
Speaker 2: is now running as a Democrat in Florida. So that
4:59
Speaker 2: has sad up and it's certainly an opportunity for Donald's
5:03
Speaker 2: to kind of take the reins from DeSantis many of
5:07
Speaker 2: the things that he had put in place, including some
5:10
Speaker 2: redistricting and things. I saw some coverage on a media
5:14
Speaker 2: outlet that I did not know was a biased media outlet.
5:22
Speaker 2: I just thought it was kind of going to be
5:26
Speaker 2: kind of blanding down the middle. And there's a couple
5:28
Speaker 2: of those now that have kind of popped up in
5:31
Speaker 2: places they don't get a lot of attention. One in
5:36
Speaker 2: particular is kind of this is it Fox one? Is
5:38
Speaker 2: that what it's called. It's like like the B teams
5:40
Speaker 2: that may be sports I'm thinking of, but there's a
5:42
Speaker 2: Fox channel that's I call it the B Team, but
5:46
Speaker 2: it's less opinion and it's just kind of a bit
5:50
Speaker 2: more news that you're getting from it, just kind of
5:53
Speaker 2: straight news content. I'm not going to say that there's
5:54
Speaker 2: not any bias anywhere in it, because I don't watch
5:59
Speaker 2: it enough to say that what I've seen of it
6:01
Speaker 2: seems to be pretty standard stuff, kind of down the middle.
6:07
Speaker 2: And then I've been watching this. Someone I know has
6:14
Speaker 2: a Spectrum cable and they have a Spectrum news channel,
6:18
Speaker 2: and I've watched it a few times, and the first
6:20
Speaker 2: few times I watched it, I thought, this seems pretty
6:23
Speaker 2: down the middle. And then the other day I heard
6:26
Speaker 2: a news story where they were talking about the Republicans
6:32
Speaker 2: with a redistricting to disenfranchised black voters or something. I thought, wait,
6:39
Speaker 2: whoa wait a minute, that's not what they're doing. What
6:43
Speaker 2: they're doing is they're correcting something that the Supreme Court
6:46
Speaker 2: said that they were allowed to do, which is not
6:49
Speaker 2: allowed districts in a state to be drawn based on
6:52
Speaker 2: racial lines, Like you can't do that. It never should
6:56
Speaker 2: have been able to do that, but people were doing
6:58
Speaker 2: it and got away with it for a long time.
7:00
Speaker 2: One of those things that when it and when it
7:02
Speaker 2: gets into sensitivity about race issues, people kind of get
7:05
Speaker 2: quiet and they kind of I don't know what to say,
7:08
Speaker 2: and I don't want anybody to get mad at me,
7:10
Speaker 2: and then you let things like that happen. Well, it's
7:13
Speaker 2: happened for a long time. Supreme Court said no, not anymore.
7:16
Speaker 2: We're not doing it this way. So it's a little different.
7:20
Speaker 2: I mean, if you want to report that and say
7:22
Speaker 2: that they're redistricting in Alabama, you should say, after the
7:25
Speaker 2: Supreme Court ruled that the current districts in Alabama were unconstitutional,
7:32
Speaker 2: Alabama's working to read it. That's the fair way to
7:35
Speaker 2: say it. That's what happened. Wasn't any kind of a
7:39
Speaker 2: racial bias or anything like that. So all right, let's
7:43
Speaker 2: talk about this is the story like now that ABC
7:49
Speaker 2: has filed suit against the FCC, and this is basically
7:57
Speaker 2: it's kind of a back and forth thing that's happened.
8:00
Speaker 2: And Disney is saying that it should be a First
8:04
Speaker 2: Amendment issue concerning the FCC and that pressure from the
8:11
Speaker 2: FCC against ABC Disney because of Donald Trump. And they
8:20
Speaker 2: say that the chair of the FCC, Brandon Brendan Carr,
8:26
Speaker 2: who was appointed by Trump, and he had called for
8:29
Speaker 2: early renewal of eight different stations owned by ABC and
8:35
Speaker 2: saying that the licenses needed to be renewed early and
8:40
Speaker 2: those weren't scheduled to take place until like two more
8:45
Speaker 2: years to like five more years. I guess twenty eight
8:48
Speaker 2: to thirty one in that range. And this has been
8:52
Speaker 2: an ongoing thing with concerning what the rights are and
8:57
Speaker 2: expectations are for states that are part of this. You know,
9:02
Speaker 2: you got CBS, ABC, NBC, and even the Fox affiliates,
9:07
Speaker 2: not Fox News, but when you're talking about stations that
9:11
Speaker 2: are supposed to be providing content for the public, we've
9:14
Speaker 2: gone through this with public broadcasting as well. When the
9:18
Speaker 2: federal government says we're not going to provide in public broadcasting,
9:23
Speaker 2: not just TV but also radio. When they say we're
9:25
Speaker 2: not going to provide money, taxpayer money shouldn't go to
9:29
Speaker 2: a biased radio network or TV network, and this should
9:35
Speaker 2: be the case as well with these other stations. If
9:38
Speaker 2: you are you know, and there's a lot of other
9:43
Speaker 2: specific things that also are part of having a license agreement,
9:48
Speaker 2: and it's supposed to be that the content is unbiased.
9:51
Speaker 2: And when you have a network that is consistently being
9:54
Speaker 2: very biased about the content on the station, when you've
9:59
Speaker 2: got shows like The View, and you've got people like
10:02
Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel that are saying things that in many cases
10:07
Speaker 2: you could say, well, he's made threats against the president. Now,
10:12
Speaker 2: if you want to believe that a joke is a threat,
10:15
Speaker 2: but it's fair to at least enter it into the
10:17
Speaker 2: conversation when he makes a comment about how the first
10:21
Speaker 2: lady would be assumed to be widow and these kinds
10:23
Speaker 2: of things, when there have been actual attempts on the
10:26
Speaker 2: life of Donald Trump, at the very least, it's in
10:31
Speaker 2: bad taste. At the very least, the network should say,
10:33
Speaker 2: don't do that anymore. What are you doing. They act
10:36
Speaker 2: like they're just supposed to let people say whatever they
10:39
Speaker 2: want to say. But in many jobs and many careers,
10:42
Speaker 2: you can't just go around. You can't walk around the
10:44
Speaker 2: office saying words that are going to get you fired
10:48
Speaker 2: and say, well, I've got a free speech right. I
10:50
Speaker 2: could say that, and then your employer just when someone
10:53
Speaker 2: goes to them and says, hey, they're using words that
10:56
Speaker 2: we don't use in the office, Well they got a
10:58
Speaker 2: free speech right to use. That's not what they do.
11:02
Speaker 2: They go to the employee and they say, hey, knock
11:04
Speaker 2: it off, or hey, you're fired. You can't be here
11:06
Speaker 2: anymore for the things that you say. I've worked around people,
11:10
Speaker 2: by the way, who primarily said whatever they wanted to
11:14
Speaker 2: say at work, and nobody ever did anything to them.
11:18
Speaker 2: I remember there was someone who apparently someone called corporate
11:23
Speaker 2: on I don't even know the story on any of that.
11:26
Speaker 2: Someone told me, yes, someone called corporate on this person
11:28
Speaker 2: and they said something that, according to what everybody said
11:32
Speaker 2: around the office, was just vile. I wasn't there. I
11:36
Speaker 2: worked early mornings, and I was not in the building
11:40
Speaker 2: when this thing was apparently said or supposedly said. And
11:43
Speaker 2: if I was, I didn't hear it. But I would
11:46
Speaker 2: have thought to myself, h, I don't think you. I
11:49
Speaker 2: don't think you can say that at work. That's vile.
11:52
Speaker 2: It's one of the worst things that you could have
11:54
Speaker 2: said at work. And I don't know exactly what was said. Again,
11:57
Speaker 2: I didn't hear it. I just heard the version of
11:59
Speaker 2: it where people were like, oh, someone called corporate on
12:02
Speaker 2: that guy, and does anybody know who called? And I thought, well,
12:07
Speaker 2: who heard him say it? I guess is the first
12:09
Speaker 2: question that would be. But in a building where you know,
12:13
Speaker 2: anybody could hear anything from any part of the building
12:16
Speaker 2: or through the walls or whatever around the corner, you know.
12:20
Speaker 2: But I wasn't so much caught up in like who
12:22
Speaker 2: called corporate? That's what was interesting. Who called corporate not Ugh,
12:26
Speaker 2: why did he say that?
12:27
Speaker 1: Ugh?
12:29
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly what he said. Maybe he didn't
12:31
Speaker 2: even say that. Maybe that's why nothing happened. But I
12:34
Speaker 2: could just tell you that that's the way it goes sometimes,
12:36
Speaker 2: so instead of telling Jimmy Kim will knock it off.
12:39
Speaker 2: I guess they kind of did when they suspended him,
12:41
Speaker 2: but from pressure from some of the owners. But there's obligations.
12:46
Speaker 2: You're supposed to be providing content for people who support
12:51
Speaker 2: any candidate. It should be news. News shouldn't have a
12:54
Speaker 2: bias to it, it shouldn't have a slant to it.
12:57
Speaker 2: On something that's on a station that is a public broadcast,
13:03
Speaker 2: it has a list of requirements. There's also a number
13:07
Speaker 2: of other things that are expected, like you have to
13:09
Speaker 2: be able to go live and tell people of an emergency,
13:16
Speaker 2: prepare them for something terrible that's happening. There's a lot
13:20
Speaker 2: of radio stations around the country that can't even do
13:22
Speaker 2: that anymore. They don't even have the ability to do that.
13:24
Speaker 2: They can't tell anybody that something's They can hit the
13:27
Speaker 2: little button that makes things. That's all they got. That's it.
13:34
Speaker 2: There's no real explanation. There's no real person can't to say, hey, everybody,
13:39
Speaker 2: take cover whatever. They just have that that's all they got.
13:45
Speaker 2: And then if they got people that are even on
13:48
Speaker 2: the stations, it's all pre recorded and they can't really
13:50
Speaker 2: give you anything anyway. So but that's neither here nor there.
13:54
Speaker 2: The point is they should have all of that. They're
13:57
Speaker 2: required to legally have those abilities, and they don't. A
14:02
Speaker 2: lot of them do not even have They don't even
14:04
Speaker 2: have the ability to do that anymore. Like there's no
14:08
Speaker 2: button to push and just start talking. You can't do
14:10
Speaker 2: that anymore. There's no people, there's no button, there's no
14:14
Speaker 2: one answering phones. It's just kind of a free for all.
14:17
Speaker 2: And there's, you know, an obligation to that. I don't.
14:20
Speaker 2: I don't know if Brendan Carr is aware of any
14:22
Speaker 2: of that, but I'm just saying there is an obligation.
14:26
Speaker 2: If there's there's a severe weather, severe storm, got to
14:30
Speaker 2: be able to tell people about it, and it's got
14:31
Speaker 2: to be more than just I don't know. Maybe that's
14:36
Speaker 2: all is. Maybe that's the bare minimum. It's not about
14:39
Speaker 2: serving the community, it's about providing the bare minimum to
14:42
Speaker 2: the community. It's a tangent. Sorry, it's just me going
14:48
Speaker 2: off on a tangent. The point is Disney says that
14:52
Speaker 2: they basically they did acknowledge. I guess in the lawsuit
14:56
Speaker 2: some of the guests on the View should be a
14:59
Speaker 2: little less political. They should back off on a little
15:02
Speaker 2: bit of the guests that gets scheduled. But otherwise, you know,
15:07
Speaker 2: they're otherwise the other content that other and they had
15:13
Speaker 2: like James tallerco on. That was one of the things
15:15
Speaker 2: that kind of kicked all this off as the investigation
15:18
Speaker 2: came and they said, we got to look into the
15:20
Speaker 2: licensing on these eight eight stations that our own and
15:26
Speaker 2: up for renewal in a few years. We got to
15:27
Speaker 2: look into this because why are they putting James tall
15:30
Speaker 2: Rico on, Like, what are other than the fact that
15:33
Speaker 2: they're trying to help James tall Rico win a race
15:37
Speaker 2: in Texas. I mean, that's that's the goal. It's not
15:41
Speaker 2: about saying, hey, everybody, this is this guy and then
15:44
Speaker 2: we'll bring the Republican guy in later and talk with him.
15:47
Speaker 2: That's not what it is there. Let us bring this
15:48
Speaker 2: guy in and he can tell you all the reasons
15:51
Speaker 2: that the way Christianity has been practiced for you know,
15:54
Speaker 2: a couple thousand years is wrong and that he's figured
15:58
Speaker 2: out a way. He's he's figured out a way to
16:01
Speaker 2: do the not what's right and what's holy and what's
16:06
Speaker 2: you know, sanctified in life. He's doing the how what
16:10
Speaker 2: is what can we do to get away with something like?
16:13
Speaker 2: How can we backdoor our way into doing something that's
16:17
Speaker 2: that's wrong and it's always been seen as wrong, but
16:20
Speaker 2: we can find some very wordsmith way to justify it.
16:26
Speaker 2: So that's what they wanted to do. Introduce the world
16:29
Speaker 2: to that guy so that everybody can go, man, this guy.
16:32
Speaker 2: He's weird looking, but good gracious, he's figured out a
16:36
Speaker 2: way for us to get away with some stuff. So
16:39
Speaker 2: that's what led to the to the Suit, and then
16:41
Speaker 2: that's what's now led to the second or not the Suit.
16:44
Speaker 2: That's what led to the renewals of the eight Stations,
16:47
Speaker 2: and then that led to the to the Suit. So
16:50
Speaker 2: we'll see where all this plays out. Get ready for
16:53
Speaker 2: Dragon kN forty. It's the fortieth Dragon Con and it

20:45
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
20:49
Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you and While
20:50
Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
20:53
Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
20:56
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
21:00
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
21:02
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
21:04
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
21:08
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
21:12
Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or
21:15
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
21:19
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
21:21
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
21:24
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
21:27
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know,
21:31
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
21:33
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
21:36
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
21:37
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
21:40
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
21:43
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
21:45
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
21:49
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
21:52
Speaker 2: those as well seven oh six thtory five eight forty

22:02
Speaker 2: Right after the break, A nationwide poll from the language
22:15
Speaker 2: learning website Preply found that nearly one in five Americans
22:19
Speaker 2: find the Southern accent the most attractive y'all, with Louisiana
22:28
Speaker 2: ranking as the most attractive state accent. According to the poll,
22:32
Speaker 2: the Boston, New England accent and the Midwest accent rounded
22:35
Speaker 2: out the top three as far as the least attractive.
22:38
Speaker 2: Chicago and Philadelphia rank at the bottom of the list.
22:42
Speaker 2: The survey also found twenty five percent said they feel
22:45
Speaker 2: no pride in their regional accent or slang. Interesting that
22:53
Speaker 2: the Southern accent would be considered most attraction. I mean,
23:00
Speaker 2: I'm not hating it. That's certainly what I was born
23:03
Speaker 2: with and it comes out sometimes, especially when I'm talking
23:07
Speaker 2: with my family about football. But it's just interesting to
23:11
Speaker 2: me that that would be ranked at the top considering
23:16
Speaker 2: the sort of Midwest accent was the thing that most
23:19
Speaker 2: people have tried to have, I guess as a vanilla thing,
23:21
Speaker 2: but I suppose Southern maybe stands out a little bit,
23:25
Speaker 2: and I don't know a popularity of country music and
23:28
Speaker 2: some of those artists. I guess that makes some sense.
23:30
Speaker 2: But wallet hobb has released its latest ranking of the
23:35
Speaker 2: best and worst states for women's equality, looking at factors
23:41
Speaker 2: like income and executive position gaps, political representation, education, health,
23:47
Speaker 2: workplace opportunities. Hawaii top the list, followed by Maryland, Alaska,
23:52
Speaker 2: main and Vermont. On the other end of the list,
23:55
Speaker 2: Utah ranking last for women's equality. So if you were wandering,
24:02
Speaker 2: it's an interesting thing that someone decided to put together.
24:07
Speaker 2: The folks at wallet hub decided, this is what we
24:09
Speaker 2: need to be doing with our time. Let's do this.
24:13
Speaker 2: Another two thousand's fashion trend that's making a comeback. Jeans
24:17
Speaker 2: and a going out top, the classic night out uniform
24:20
Speaker 2: suddenly trending again thanks to celebrities and friend of the
24:25
Speaker 2: show Hillary Duff and Hathaway is another one. I never
24:28
Speaker 2: met her, I don't know her, but the g and
24:31
Speaker 2: Z update version of it, I guess. So instead of
24:34
Speaker 2: skinny jeans millennials paired with dressy tops back in the day,
24:38
Speaker 2: today's version loose, baggy or wide legged denim. Fashion watchers
24:44
Speaker 2: say It's part of an ongoing Y two K revival,
24:47
Speaker 2: with younger generations putting their own spin on millennial favorites.
24:51
Speaker 2: It makes sense in that things always kind of circle
24:55
Speaker 2: back around, don't they, And this is sort of the
24:58
Speaker 2: version of that. I've never been and one to be
25:00
Speaker 2: overly trendy on purpose. The Adidas sambas that I've been
25:06
Speaker 2: wearing for decades suddenly became cool in the last three
25:11
Speaker 2: or four years, and then I couldn't find them anymore
25:14
Speaker 2: because people were buying them because they became cool, and
25:18
Speaker 2: I accidentally stumbled into that, and then I couldn't find
25:21
Speaker 2: the shoes that I wanted anymore for a long time.
25:23
Speaker 2: Still can't find the ones I exactly want. But I've
25:28
Speaker 2: never been like finger on the pulse of it. I
25:31
Speaker 2: just kind of stumble into a back indto it sometimes,
25:34
Speaker 2: I guess. Speaking of younger people embracing new things and
25:40
Speaker 2: things being cool again, antiquing apparently is having a comeback,
25:45
Speaker 2: with younger generations embracing the antiques. A new survey found
25:50
Speaker 2: nearly eight and ten young adults are into vintage styles,
25:54
Speaker 2: with many saying older furniture, home decorps, and fashion pieces
25:58
Speaker 2: have more personality than today's mass produced items. Social media
26:03
Speaker 2: fueling the trend. Sustainability also a major factor, as younger
26:08
Speaker 2: shoppers look for ways to reduce waste and buy things
26:12
Speaker 2: that last. Many say they love the craftsmanship of unique
26:16
Speaker 2: stories that come with them and those older items, and
26:21
Speaker 2: about a third go antique hunting every week. That seems
26:24
Speaker 2: like a lot. It's a hobby, but it seems like
26:28
Speaker 2: a lot every week. While some treat antiques as a hobby,
26:32
Speaker 2: forty percent to see them as an investment, So I
26:34
Speaker 2: guess that's why they're doing it every week. It's like
26:36
Speaker 2: out buying baseball cards.
26:39
Speaker 1: I don't know.
26:40
Speaker 2: Lowe's declared Halloween war on home Depot. The home improvement
26:44
Speaker 2: giant has rolled out a fifteen foot tall animatronic skeleton
26:49
Speaker 2: that dwarfs the popular twelve foot Skelley sold at Home Depot.
26:53
Speaker 2: The headless figure holds its own skull, which features glowing
26:58
Speaker 2: led lights, sound effects, motion activated movements designed to scare
27:03
Speaker 2: crowds of trick or treaters. Low says the new decoration
27:05
Speaker 2: is part of a larger Halloween collection that includes witches, reapers,
27:10
Speaker 2: and family friendly inflatables featuring characters like Bluey Scooby Doo
27:15
Speaker 2: and Paul Patrol. Yeah, the fact that it's holding its
27:20
Speaker 2: head up above it is what makes the figure so tall.
27:23
Speaker 2: And it is still very tall, but it's not like
27:26
Speaker 2: the you know, he's holding it up. That's what makes
27:30
Speaker 2: the figure extra tall. So I had to pop into
27:34
Speaker 2: Loew's the other day and I saw some of the
27:36
Speaker 2: new decorations in there and people just enjoying them and
27:40
Speaker 2: kids screaming and running away from him. It was exactly
27:42
Speaker 2: what you'd expect. That'll do it for this Wednesday edition
27:47
Speaker 2: of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank
27:50
Speaker 2: you for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
