Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:05
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, eighth day of October. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:16
Speaker 2: joining me. Name calling. That's where we are now. If
0:22
Speaker 2: you've wondered where we fall in this period of time
0:29
Speaker 2: in our world of politics, political dialogue, we're at the
0:35
Speaker 2: name calling phase of politics. No, it's not just like
0:42
Speaker 2: taking the occasional shot or you know, you're in the
0:46
Speaker 2: middle of a I don't know Pambondi sitting there and
0:51
Speaker 2: having senators come after her and her fire and some
0:53
Speaker 2: shots of them. I'm not talking about that. That's not
0:56
Speaker 2: what I mean. You sit there in an agressional committee
1:01
Speaker 2: or hearing and people are firing all these insults at
1:05
Speaker 2: you because everything has to be as partisan as possible
1:09
Speaker 2: and has to be about insults. And yes, you're gonna,
1:13
Speaker 2: you know, fight for yourself, You're going to defend yourself.
1:16
Speaker 2: That's That's not what I'm talking about at all. I'm
1:19
Speaker 2: talking about the fact that this has now become a
1:25
Speaker 2: strategy by the left. And I'm not even really talking
1:30
Speaker 2: about Trump. Let me set this up and then I'll
1:36
Speaker 2: come back to Trump in a second. But AOC representative
1:43
Speaker 2: the person that many think is going to end up
1:46
Speaker 2: being the Democrat candidate for president in a few years.
1:50
Speaker 2: I think that is certainly a real possibility, and I
1:55
Speaker 2: think it's someone that I think that something. She will
2:00
Speaker 2: emerge as the potentially the final leader of the Democrat
2:08
Speaker 2: Party as we know it, and that could finally be
2:11
Speaker 2: the thing that ends that party and pushes them in
2:14
Speaker 2: another direction. They may wise up, they may realize this
2:18
Speaker 2: is not something that is going to be a good idea.
2:23
Speaker 2: I have mixed feelings on it, because while I think
2:26
Speaker 2: she would be a horrible candidate, I think that never
2:31
Speaker 2: underestimate the American people's ability to make a bad decision.
2:40
Speaker 2: We just do it sometimes. Sometimes we make these really
2:43
Speaker 2: horrible decisions, and sometimes what seems like a horrible decision
2:48
Speaker 2: ends up being a good decision. I'm not afraid to
2:51
Speaker 2: admit that I had many reservations about Donald Trump the
2:55
Speaker 2: first time he ran. I didn't think he was really serious.
2:59
Speaker 2: And then he won, and he did a lot of
3:01
Speaker 2: amazing things as president. Yes, there were tweets and comments
3:05
Speaker 2: and things that you think, why is he doing this,
3:07
Speaker 2: but it allowed him to get a lot of things
3:11
Speaker 2: done just him being him. And then we know what
3:15
Speaker 2: we went through in twenty twenty, and then finally we
3:17
Speaker 2: got to a point where the American people said, enough
3:20
Speaker 2: is enough. We're tired of playing games. We're ready to
3:24
Speaker 2: get someone back in the White House. Even if you
3:27
Speaker 2: think he's a giant baby, at least he's an adult.
3:31
Speaker 2: I know, I realize how that sounds, but we didn't
3:33
Speaker 2: have adults running the country for four years and we
3:37
Speaker 2: do now. You can say whatever you want to say
3:40
Speaker 2: about him. He's a businessman, he is a negotiator, he
3:43
Speaker 2: has many things. But he is an adult, and the
3:47
Speaker 2: White House is being run as if it's being run
3:50
Speaker 2: by adults. It's just the reality of where we are
3:54
Speaker 2: right now in the country. So it is you could
4:00
Speaker 2: be critical of some of the things that he has
4:03
Speaker 2: said and done and those kinds of things. But what
4:06
Speaker 2: I think has started to happen on the left is
4:08
Speaker 2: that now we have people who have said, well, we
4:11
Speaker 2: want to try to be like him, and they haven't
4:14
Speaker 2: figured out that the thing about Donald Trump is that's
4:19
Speaker 2: just who he is. He's not putting on a character,
4:23
Speaker 2: he's not pretending to be someone he's not. He's just
4:28
Speaker 2: who he's been and that's part of the unique persona
4:36
Speaker 2: that is Donald Trump, who was beloved by everyone prior
4:40
Speaker 2: to deciding he was going to actually have the goal
4:43
Speaker 2: to win the presidency. When he started to run, people
4:46
Speaker 2: thought it was a joke. I thought it was a joke.
4:48
Speaker 2: I didn't know. I had no idea this was somebody
4:51
Speaker 2: who was going to come in and take everybody by storm.
4:55
Speaker 2: I just watched by the way, just quick tangent and
4:59
Speaker 2: then I'll come back to But I just watched the
5:03
Speaker 2: Charlie Sheen documentary, the aka Charlie Sheen. I know it's
5:07
Speaker 2: not cool to have Netflix at the moment, and I
5:11
Speaker 2: understand why. I know a lot of people have bailed
5:13
Speaker 2: on Netflix, and this is one of the most legit
5:15
Speaker 2: reasons that people have bailed on Netflix. But they've bailed
5:18
Speaker 2: on Netflix. I get it. I understand. I meanwhile sitting
5:24
Speaker 2: back waiting on Stranger Things final season to come along.
5:28
Speaker 2: But anyway, I thought I had a few people recommend
5:31
Speaker 2: to me that I should watch the Charlie Sheen documentary.
5:35
Speaker 2: Charlie Sheen for me, someone that I've always found to
5:39
Speaker 2: be incredibly funny, his delivery, his timing. I think that
5:45
Speaker 2: so much of the comedy that he has done. It
5:49
Speaker 2: just comes from him like a gift. And it's not
5:54
Speaker 2: it's not that he I mean, it's similar a lot
5:57
Speaker 2: of what he's done, but not all of it is
5:59
Speaker 2: the same. Comedy, I mean, hot Shots, and when he
6:03
Speaker 2: jumped into the Scary movie franchise, I mean, that's a
6:07
Speaker 2: that's a genre. And then what he's done with sitcoms,
6:10
Speaker 2: even the sitcoms that he's done, all three of them.
6:13
Speaker 2: Anger Management's probably really close to Two and a half Men.
6:17
Speaker 2: But when he was doing Spin City, that's a very
6:19
Speaker 2: different show than Two and a half Men and and
6:23
Speaker 2: and Anger Management. But he's just he's just done in
6:28
Speaker 2: major league. He's done so many different things, and he's
6:33
Speaker 2: done drama, Platoon for Crying Out. He's done so so
6:37
Speaker 2: much different things as an actor that he I don't
6:39
Speaker 2: I don't know that he gets. He got maybe the
6:42
Speaker 2: credit that he deserved. I think he won a Golden
6:46
Speaker 2: Globe for Spin City, and I think that's probably the
6:48
Speaker 2: only award that he ever won. I think he says
6:49
Speaker 2: that in the documentary. And I'm not sitting here saying
6:52
Speaker 2: that Charlie Sheen is the finest actor on the planet
6:55
Speaker 2: or anything, but I thought yeah, I'll check this out,
6:59
Speaker 2: and I watched it, and a few things that sort
7:02
Speaker 2: of jumped out at me. First of all, if you're
7:05
Speaker 2: gonna have a long series of problems with addiction, it
7:10
Speaker 2: helps to have a famous father. It helps to be
7:13
Speaker 2: incredibly famous yourself. And yes, famous rich people really really
7:18
Speaker 2: and truly don't ever get into trouble that they deserve.
7:21
Speaker 2: They don't. And that Charlie Sheen, for everything that we
7:27
Speaker 2: heard about him sort of being kind of superhuman with
7:30
Speaker 2: the lifestyle that he was living, apparently he was. I mean,
7:34
Speaker 2: just from what came out in this documentary, how much
7:37
Speaker 2: of all of this is true and accurate? Who knows,
7:39
Speaker 2: but a lot of it seemed to line up with
7:42
Speaker 2: the news that we got over the years. And I
7:45
Speaker 2: bring him up because I think when you and I
7:49
Speaker 2: had forgotten, really I remember the tiger blood and the
7:52
Speaker 2: winning and all that stuff, but I had forgotten some
7:57
Speaker 2: of the specifics of it, and they dive into that,
8:00
Speaker 2: and he's really in the documentary. He talks about how
8:02
Speaker 2: embarrassed he was about all that and how he was
8:04
Speaker 2: acting in that period of his life of addiction and things.
8:08
Speaker 2: But it really did tea things up for a Donald
8:12
Speaker 2: Trump presidency in so many ways because the way that
8:17
Speaker 2: he communicated while he was you know, zonked out on
8:21
Speaker 2: all these different drugs. I don't know what the I
8:23
Speaker 2: don't know what the cool kids are calling it. I
8:25
Speaker 2: just say zonked out. But the way that he communicated
8:30
Speaker 2: with press, the way that he communicated in interviews, the
8:34
Speaker 2: way he communicated I guess on stage. I had forgotten
8:37
Speaker 2: that he did a stage show. He went around and
8:39
Speaker 2: did as many shows as he could do before the
8:41
Speaker 2: audience has finally revolted on him and they're like, what
8:43
Speaker 2: are we paying for? Exactly? Just listen to a guy
8:45
Speaker 2: ramble about how addicted he is to everything, sex, drugs
8:50
Speaker 2: and everything, and it's like a lot of what he
8:56
Speaker 2: did and how he did it and how he communicated
9:00
Speaker 2: ended up very much being very similar to what Trump
9:03
Speaker 2: was doing as a presidential candidate. And I don't think
9:09
Speaker 2: Trump was trying to do the Charlie Sheen shtick. I
9:11
Speaker 2: think that's just who Trump is. And I don't think
9:16
Speaker 2: that she Sheen gives credit to all of this, the
9:20
Speaker 2: tiger blood and the winning and you know, yeah, I'm
9:23
Speaker 2: high on Charlie Sheen and those kind of jokes to
9:26
Speaker 2: the baseball player Brian Wilson that played for the San
9:30
Speaker 2: Francisco Giants at the time, and he said that all
9:34
Speaker 2: of that came from a conversation that they had and
9:36
Speaker 2: he just was doing this interview and all that stuff
9:38
Speaker 2: just kind of came out and he kind of felt bad.
9:41
Speaker 2: I just this was all his stuff, he'd written, his material,
9:44
Speaker 2: and I'm doing it. But I think it did kind
9:49
Speaker 2: of pave the way for some of the antics of Trump.
9:52
Speaker 2: But I think that's just who Trump is. I really
9:55
Speaker 2: don't believe now, maybe he is putting on some of
9:58
Speaker 2: that stuff. Bill Maher, I guess when he had his
10:01
Speaker 2: dinner at the White House with Trump, and he said
10:03
Speaker 2: he's a different guy behind closed doors. But the public
10:07
Speaker 2: persona I think has always been that. So maybe the
10:09
Speaker 2: person is not, but the public persona has always kind
10:13
Speaker 2: of been that guy. And the way that he speaks,
10:17
Speaker 2: the hyperbole, all of the exaggerations and things that he
10:21
Speaker 2: does and says. Anyway, I say all that just to
10:24
Speaker 2: get to the point of talking about AOC representative. Is
10:31
Speaker 2: it Cortes or Acasio Cortes, I don't know. Is that
10:34
Speaker 2: a hyphenated name. Is it just because it's a Latin name.
10:37
Speaker 2: I don't know, aoc is what we all call her.
10:41
Speaker 2: And she's decided that. She says she's starting to take
10:46
Speaker 2: shots at, you know, people that work for Trump in
10:50
Speaker 2: the White House. And she says that what needs to
10:53
Speaker 2: happen now is that as a way to attack the
11:01
Speaker 2: MAGA people, you have to start insulting them, like that's
11:05
Speaker 2: what they have to start doing. They have to start
11:07
Speaker 2: insulting them to make them feel bad and make them
11:10
Speaker 2: rethink who they are. This is the strategy. Now. This
11:14
Speaker 2: isn't new if you remember, this is something that the
11:20
Speaker 2: Harris Wall's campaign came up with at some point apparently
11:23
Speaker 2: because they were trying to do this. They were saying
11:26
Speaker 2: that jd Vance was weird, Tim Walls was calling people weird, which, honestly,
11:33
Speaker 2: like that's comedy gold if we actually had late night
11:37
Speaker 2: talk shows that pointed out comical things. Instead, they just
11:42
Speaker 2: you know, they don't do that because it might make
11:45
Speaker 2: the side that they pull for look bad. So that
11:49
Speaker 2: it was like, we're going to call everybody weird. We're
11:52
Speaker 2: going to be the party of some very weird people
11:56
Speaker 2: out in public, and we're going to call the other
11:59
Speaker 2: side that kind of represent and This is a big
12:01
Speaker 2: part of why they lost because they're going to sit
12:04
Speaker 2: back and say that JD. Vance is weird, and then
12:08
Speaker 2: we're going to go, Okay, he's weird. But you know,
12:12
Speaker 2: all of these things that don't represent the values or
12:15
Speaker 2: what most Americans, as we've now learned see as traditional life,
12:23
Speaker 2: interpret that however you want to. So this pushback on
12:29
Speaker 2: all of these things that Democrats were asking us as
12:32
Speaker 2: Americans to support, to tolerate, to support, and to be
12:39
Speaker 2: all in on. We're supposed to dive all in and
12:43
Speaker 2: do everything we can to support all these things that
12:46
Speaker 2: most Americans are going, wait a minute, and to sign
12:48
Speaker 2: up for this, Why do I have to participate? I
12:51
Speaker 2: think there's still a lot of Americans that were just
12:53
Speaker 2: the way I do. You go live your life, You
12:55
Speaker 2: go be you, You do whatever it is that you want
12:58
Speaker 2: to do that makes you happy, don't hurt anybody else,
13:00
Speaker 2: and don't ask me to participate. This phase we got
13:05
Speaker 2: to when it came to activism of it's not good
13:09
Speaker 2: enough for you to just say, hey, you go be
13:13
Speaker 2: you good for you, go be you. You have to
13:16
Speaker 2: support me publicly and you have to say no, this
13:20
Speaker 2: is why what you're doing is a good thing, and
13:22
Speaker 2: everybody should do it, and they should encourage their children
13:25
Speaker 2: to do it. You should encourage your children to do
13:28
Speaker 2: anything but be kids. We've known that for a long
13:32
Speaker 2: time now. Push them to be better, Push them to
13:35
Speaker 2: be good human beings, Push them to achieve and to learn.
13:41
Speaker 2: Push them maybe into sports or whatever their hobbies are,
13:44
Speaker 2: and let them get a little older, let them get
13:48
Speaker 2: into the teenage years, let them get into young adulthood
13:51
Speaker 2: before any kind of lifetime permanent decisions start to get made.
13:55
Speaker 2: You know, that's just if you're pushing them at eight,
13:58
Speaker 2: that's young for pushing them five. If the teachers are
14:02
Speaker 2: pushing them and a lot of people push back, those
14:05
Speaker 2: were the people that were saying that JD. Vance was weird.
14:07
Speaker 2: That's all I'm trying to get to anyway. So the
14:11
Speaker 2: name calling, it's been going on for a while now. Granted,
14:14
Speaker 2: I would much rather if AOC is just implying call
14:19
Speaker 2: MAGA Republicans weird. If that's what she's encouraging, if that's
14:24
Speaker 2: what she thinks is the right thing to do, that's
14:27
Speaker 2: better than fascist. That's better than they deserve two bullets
14:31
Speaker 2: in the head. That's better than you know, kill them all.
14:36
Speaker 2: That's better than Nazi, it's better than Hitler, it's better
14:39
Speaker 2: than all those things. But it's not intelligent progress. This
14:45
Speaker 2: is not doing anything to push the country forward in
14:49
Speaker 2: a direction where we need to go. It's petty, it's childish.
14:53
Speaker 2: It's what you would expect out of someone who basically
14:57
Speaker 2: was just we're going to fabricate a candidate. We're going
15:00
Speaker 2: to go have like an audition. We're going to find
15:03
Speaker 2: somebody who's maybe going to be this trendy person that
15:06
Speaker 2: we can see if we can make things stick. I've
15:10
Speaker 2: had a lot of conversations with a lot of people
15:14
Speaker 2: in Washington and senators, people from the House representatives. I've
15:22
Speaker 2: talked to governors multiple states, talked I've talked to presidential
15:27
Speaker 2: candidates on both sides of the aisle. I have had
15:32
Speaker 2: White House briefings, members of the Cabinet. I've talked to
15:35
Speaker 2: a lot of people. One of the most interesting conversations
15:39
Speaker 2: I ever had was with one of these people who
15:44
Speaker 2: gave me the background story on how AOC became a representative.
15:51
Speaker 2: I don't even know, like you could probably look up
15:54
Speaker 2: versions of the story online, but the description of this
16:01
Speaker 2: was that this was like putting together a boy band,
16:04
Speaker 2: except it was just one person. I think it was
16:07
Speaker 2: described as like when they put the Monkeys together to
16:09
Speaker 2: be like an alternative to the Beatles, like an American
16:12
Speaker 2: version of the Beatles, except it was Let's just go
16:15
Speaker 2: find somebody that we can just kind of mold them
16:18
Speaker 2: into what we want them to be. They're going to
16:21
Speaker 2: have a certain look, they're gonna be of a certain age,
16:25
Speaker 2: they're going to not really know anything from anything. We're
16:28
Speaker 2: just going to stick them into a district where they're
16:30
Speaker 2: gonna win, and we're gonna see what happens. And this
16:33
Speaker 2: is what happens. This person gets to where they're barely
16:36
Speaker 2: old enough to run for president, they're being hyped as
16:38
Speaker 2: someone who's going to run for president probably, And the
16:41
Speaker 2: best thing that right now she has is let's name
16:45
Speaker 2: call Maga Republicans and make them feel shame. Let's make
16:49
Speaker 2: them feel ashamed of the fact that they're Maga Republicans.
16:52
Speaker 2: Let's make them feel ashamed that their side won and
16:56
Speaker 2: that the majority of Americans voted the way that they did,
17:01
Speaker 2: and that the president is getting a lot of things done,
17:04
Speaker 2: and that the person that they supported is being supported
17:08
Speaker 2: by more Americans than not. Let's make them feel shamed
17:12
Speaker 2: for that. That's the best right now that the left
17:15
Speaker 2: can put out. And like I said, a lot of
17:19
Speaker 2: people seem to think she's going to be a candidate
17:21
Speaker 2: for president in a few years. Today's show brought to

Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
19:49
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:52
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
19:56
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
19:59
Speaker 2: issue you've got with colder, warmer weather, sometimes that stuff
20:03
Speaker 2: gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a
20:06
Speaker 2: situation where you'd like to add a screen door to
20:09
Speaker 2: your garage door system that you can put down and
20:12
Speaker 2: you can use your garage space as a sort of
20:16
Speaker 2: outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to work
20:18
Speaker 2: on your own cars in there, or maybe you just
20:20
Speaker 2: want a little man cavid you'd like to be able
20:23
Speaker 2: to open the door up and not invite all the
20:25
Speaker 2: insects in. They can do that for you as well,
20:27
Speaker 2: and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse
20:31
Speaker 2: than that thought of having your car trapped inside your
20:33
Speaker 2: garage and your garage door won't open, and you need
20:36
Speaker 2: somebody to come help, and they do those as well.

Speaker 2: com More West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break well,
20:59
Speaker 2: we often hear cautionary tales about mo money more problems right,
21:05
Speaker 2: lottery winners who blow all their money and fall on
21:08
Speaker 2: tough times. But for a sudden British millionaire, he not
21:13
Speaker 2: only lost a bunch of money, he nearly lost his life.
21:16
Speaker 2: A thirty nine year old forklift driver named Adam Lopez
21:20
Speaker 2: won a million dollars on a scratch off lottery ticket,
21:23
Speaker 2: and he celebrated pretty hard, quit his job, partied NonStop
21:27
Speaker 2: for three months. While he knew the money would eventually
21:30
Speaker 2: come to an end, he never thought he could also die.
21:35
Speaker 2: He says all that partying led to a blood clot
21:37
Speaker 2: in his leg, which spread into his lungs, and that
21:40
Speaker 2: almost killed him. He spent over a week in the
21:42
Speaker 2: hospital and credits the staff with saving his life, though
21:45
Speaker 2: he says he learned a valuable lesson doesn't matter if
21:51
Speaker 2: you have a million, one hundred million, a billion, a
21:53
Speaker 2: trillion when you're in the back of an ambulance. None
21:57
Speaker 2: of that matters, you know. I'm just saying if I
22:02
Speaker 2: had one a million on a scratch off, if that
22:06
Speaker 2: happened to me, Uh, well, first I have to buy
22:09
Speaker 2: scratch off. But if I had one a million dollars
22:12
Speaker 2: in scratch I'd like to just prove. I would like
22:15
Speaker 2: the opportunity to prove that you don't have to go
22:18
Speaker 2: out and party hard and that you can set yourself
22:21
Speaker 2: up for a nice future. That's all I'm just that's
22:23
Speaker 2: that's just the point. You know, if somebody wants to,
22:27
Speaker 2: you know, give me a million dollars and say, here
22:29
Speaker 2: you go, Wes, We'll pretend that this is a lottery
22:32
Speaker 2: and we'll see what you can do with it. If
22:35
Speaker 2: you're gonna go crazy and party hard, or are you
22:39
Speaker 2: gonna you know, look to your future and your kid's
22:41
Speaker 2: future and those kinds of things. I would I would,
22:43
Speaker 2: you know, if if you're one of those people, if
22:46
Speaker 2: you've got a million dollars and you'd like to, let's
22:48
Speaker 2: test this out. We can see how it goes. Hey,
22:51
Speaker 2: it's boo basket time. Remember boo baskets. This is the
22:55
Speaker 2: Halloween equivalent of Easter baskets. Uh, Basically, it started as
23:00
Speaker 2: kind of a low key thing where people would drop
23:03
Speaker 2: off a basket of candy and other small kind of
23:06
Speaker 2: treats with you've been booed on a note and then
23:10
Speaker 2: the other person that is supposed to boo another person,
23:13
Speaker 2: and then it just became like a full blown annual
23:15
Speaker 2: gift giving ritual, much like Easter baskets or secret santas.
23:20
Speaker 2: So people making boo baskets for friends, partners, kids, and
23:24
Speaker 2: it not just filled with treats, but also you know, socks, flippers,
23:28
Speaker 2: stuffed at slippers, I said, flippers, stuffed animals, candles, mugs,
23:34
Speaker 2: and sometimes you know pricey items. They get a nice
23:38
Speaker 2: item like or you could give them flippers flipper. If
23:42
Speaker 2: you're going to give them like a snorkel and flippers,
23:44
Speaker 2: this is the time to buy it because you know
23:46
Speaker 2: it's we're in the fall. Those things are discounted right now,
23:49
Speaker 2: so if you're no slippers, and it's a way for
23:53
Speaker 2: people to you know, just celebrate the season. I guess.
23:57
Speaker 2: But do we need another gift giving thing? I guess
24:00
Speaker 2: has been my question. Some parents love the fun, others
24:04
Speaker 2: feel like it's just another thing to add to an
24:06
Speaker 2: already packed holiday season. That's what I was getting at
24:09
Speaker 2: and some baskets costing over one hundred dollars, and there's
24:12
Speaker 2: some pressure as well, as I guess some on social
24:16
Speaker 2: media are starting to share some budget friendly versions of
24:20
Speaker 2: Boo baskets. So just kind of keep that in mind
24:23
Speaker 2: if you're going to get in on this trend. I
24:26
Speaker 2: know some people that have some of these holiday trends.
24:30
Speaker 2: There's one particular one at Christmas time that people kind
24:34
Speaker 2: of wish that, Oh I wish we hadn't gotten involved
24:36
Speaker 2: with that one. It's the one that has like the
24:38
Speaker 2: rhyme in the name of it. You know what I'm
24:40
Speaker 2: talking about. I don't want to say it. They said, Man,
24:42
Speaker 2: it was a mistake. Could be involved in that, all right,
24:45
Speaker 2: So forget what you're signing As daters are more likely
24:51
Speaker 2: to ask what's your zip code? It's a new dating
24:54
Speaker 2: trend called zip coding. People limit their romantic prospects to
24:57
Speaker 2: people who live in the same zip code, or at
24:59
Speaker 2: least one of the nearby ones. Some even using dating
25:03
Speaker 2: app filters to exclude anyone outside their immediate area. And
25:07
Speaker 2: it's about convenience. Some might it may seem practical to
25:12
Speaker 2: some experts Warren that focusing on geography alone can lead
25:15
Speaker 2: to disappointment and missed opportunities. Basically, you should look beyond
25:20
Speaker 2: location and focus instead on shared values and real connection.
25:24
Speaker 2: You also don't want to accidentally start dating somebody from
25:27
Speaker 2: the family reunion. I think that's another reason to date
25:31
Speaker 2: outside the zip code. You don't want to be too
25:34
Speaker 2: close to home, is what I'm saying. I mean, obviously
25:36
Speaker 2: you're not going to date in the family pool, but
25:40
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just saying there's a reason to
25:43
Speaker 2: diversify a little bit. Doctor Max Rymple is the founder
25:47
Speaker 2: and CEO of DNA, a residence research foundation, and he
25:50
Speaker 2: seems to be a serious man, and he claims to
25:52
Speaker 2: have found evidence that there's alien DNA and some of
25:56
Speaker 2: us humans. Doctor Rymple discovered that there are large sequence
26:00
Speaker 2: of DNA and a number of his subjects that appeared
26:03
Speaker 2: to not match either of the subject's parents. So where
26:08
Speaker 2: would that DNA have come from? I mean, I think
26:11
Speaker 2: the implication there is that it maybe came from aliens.
26:15
Speaker 2: But I don't know how that works at all. I mean,
26:19
Speaker 2: I know how it works, I just I don't I
26:21
Speaker 2: don't understand how any of this would actually you know
26:25
Speaker 2: how the DNA would get there and parental DNA. That's
26:29
Speaker 2: that's what's confusing to me. I mean, I know how
26:31
Speaker 2: it works. That'll do it for this Wednesday edition of
26:35
Speaker 2: the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you
