Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:11
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, seventh day of May. I'm wes, thanks for
0:19
Speaker 2: joining me. Siete Demayo. Is that what we're up to now?
0:24
Speaker 2: I got Ocho Demayo in the chamber for tomorrow. So
0:31
Speaker 2: here we are working our way through this. You're finishing
0:34
Speaker 2: up now week one of the month of May, with
0:38
Speaker 2: so many things on many agendas. If you've got kids
0:43
Speaker 2: winding down these school years, end of year things. We
0:46
Speaker 2: had a comp band concert last night for our soon
0:50
Speaker 2: to be full high schooler. At the moment, he's just
0:55
Speaker 2: you know, partial, he's a part time high schooler and
0:58
Speaker 2: still school or the rest of the time and for
1:03
Speaker 2: the sake of band and band concerts and performances, he
1:07
Speaker 2: is still in middle schooler. And they had a show
1:09
Speaker 2: last night. We got a high school show for tonight,
1:13
Speaker 2: not for him, for the other one for orchestra. And
1:18
Speaker 2: we'll we'll, you know, we get some pe testing and
1:20
Speaker 2: things that are going on. So we're we're working through
1:24
Speaker 2: this week. Next week is a step closer, more testing
1:27
Speaker 2: and things, and I'll have graduation for Columbus State University
1:32
Speaker 2: next weekend and then we'll just be, you know, days
1:35
Speaker 2: away from wrapping up the school year, and a lot
1:39
Speaker 2: of parents, I know, we're dealing with all these things.
1:41
Speaker 2: I've got some friends that are dealing with having a
1:44
Speaker 2: seniors and everything that comes with having a high school senior.
1:48
Speaker 2: And this is a i know, a long and at
1:54
Speaker 2: times very painful process for some people as they get
2:00
Speaker 2: ready to send a senior off to college somewhere or
2:06
Speaker 2: you know, just this whole process of having them not
2:08
Speaker 2: being in school anymore. We're bracing ourselves for the fact
2:11
Speaker 2: that our middle schooler will now no longer be at
2:13
Speaker 2: that school, and we've had a kid at that school now,
2:16
Speaker 2: you know, for this is six years. So we went
2:20
Speaker 2: through that same morning process with our elementary school. They
2:24
Speaker 2: overlapped at that school, and you know, they'll overlap now
2:28
Speaker 2: in high school for a year. But we're getting ready
2:31
Speaker 2: for this next phase of having a high school senior
2:35
Speaker 2: in the house and then a freshman in the house
2:38
Speaker 2: next year. So we're we're on the cusp of all
2:41
Speaker 2: of the fields and the dramas and all that stuff
2:44
Speaker 2: that comes with what's ahead of us for next year.
2:48
Speaker 2: But right now, we're just trying to survive these final
2:51
Speaker 2: days of this school year. And I know a lot
2:54
Speaker 2: of people are struggling with all of that. So stick together, parents,
2:59
Speaker 2: we all are in the same waters in some way.
3:02
Speaker 2: We're all dealing with something. So let's power through this.
3:06
Speaker 2: Let's get these kids, well, they got to get themselves
3:09
Speaker 2: through these last days. Our job is to parent them, right,
3:12
Speaker 2: but let's get them where they got to be for
3:14
Speaker 2: whatever they got to do, and let them do it,
3:16
Speaker 2: that's what I say, and encourage them. In some cases,
3:19
Speaker 2: we got to carry them across the finish line. For
3:22
Speaker 2: some kids, that's how it goes, and some even even
3:25
Speaker 2: the kids that maybe they're not normally like that, you
3:27
Speaker 2: have those days, right, And then, of course, you know,
3:31
Speaker 2: to the parents that are finishing up this senior year,
3:34
Speaker 2: they get them to college and that part of it begins,
3:36
Speaker 2: and that's a whole new set of challenges and things
3:39
Speaker 2: that come with that. So that's what many are dealing
3:42
Speaker 2: with right now over these next few weeks. A couple
3:46
Speaker 2: things to talk about, first and foremost, this is certainly
3:50
Speaker 2: one of those stories that I feel like needs to
3:53
Speaker 2: be addressed. As Republicans have now asked for a chunk
3:59
Speaker 2: of them for this ballroom in the White House. Now,
4:03
Speaker 2: remember this ballroom process started as the President said, this
4:10
Speaker 2: is going to be funded by private donors, and that's
4:14
Speaker 2: what it's going to be. There was a lot of
4:16
Speaker 2: people that hated it because they just thought, my gosh,
4:19
Speaker 2: he's going to get credit for this thing. We don't
4:21
Speaker 2: want them to get credit for anything. Unlike some of
4:24
Speaker 2: the well the last two at least Democrat presidents, he's
4:30
Speaker 2: hoping to have some things to show for his time
4:32
Speaker 2: in office. They seemed quite content to have a little
4:36
Speaker 2: to nothing to show for it. At least Biden, you know,
4:40
Speaker 2: his call to action was, we're all still suffering post COVID.
4:45
Speaker 2: Let's step on the throats of Americans and make it
4:47
Speaker 2: as difficult as possible and make sure that all of
4:50
Speaker 2: our friends and supporters and sometimes ourselves that are invested
4:55
Speaker 2: in green energy we profit and they suffer. And gas
4:59
Speaker 2: prices hit an all time high. I know they're high now,
5:02
Speaker 2: but I would say this, you know, at least there's
5:05
Speaker 2: some good to come of it in the world other
5:07
Speaker 2: than just you know, green energy profits for people. But
5:10
Speaker 2: we've already had that discussion here and then, of course
5:15
Speaker 2: Obama's one real claim to fame other than you know,
5:19
Speaker 2: the record number of deportations that he had by ice
5:24
Speaker 2: and putting kids in cages, families and cages and all
5:27
Speaker 2: that stuff, which all those photos that came out about
5:30
Speaker 2: Trump were actually photos from the Biden days, you know,
5:35
Speaker 2: the one real thing that he walked away from his
5:39
Speaker 2: presidency from other than the huge spike in you know,
5:46
Speaker 2: race related issues that may or may not have been
5:49
Speaker 2: funded by you know, NGOs and possibly even Southern poverty law.
5:56
Speaker 2: You know how far back that goes, I don't know.
5:58
Speaker 2: We don't know how far back goes. I guess we
6:01
Speaker 2: have a point where we know. But a lot of
6:03
Speaker 2: us have been suspicious that some of those things have
6:06
Speaker 2: been conveniently popping up and getting worse at certain times,
6:09
Speaker 2: and that was one of the things that his administration.
6:13
Speaker 2: Could you know, be proud of I guess. I don't know.
6:16
Speaker 2: If that was the goal of that administration and they
6:18
Speaker 2: made race relations worse in America, then I guess they
6:21
Speaker 2: would be proud of it if that was the intention,
6:24
Speaker 2: If that's what they wanted, then I guess they should
6:28
Speaker 2: be proud of it. But privately, secretly until someone exposes it.
6:34
Speaker 2: So the other thing that they had was you know, Obamacare,
6:39
Speaker 2: and it's made healthcare significantly worse as predicted. It's made
6:43
Speaker 2: it more complicated for a lot of people. Some people
6:45
Speaker 2: have benefited from certain aspects of it. I don't know
6:48
Speaker 2: many people, even on the conservative side, even the extreme
6:53
Speaker 2: conservative side, that think that, you know, it's a negative
6:57
Speaker 2: to say, you know, pre existing conditions should be covered.
7:01
Speaker 2: You know, you get basically a policy and you come
7:05
Speaker 2: into it once upon a time, Oh, you already had cancer.
7:08
Speaker 2: We can't do anything for you. You know, there's some
7:10
Speaker 2: pluses certainly that came from it. No, I don't know
7:14
Speaker 2: anyone who felt like there shouldn't be some sort of
7:18
Speaker 2: changes made to the healthcare system, just like I don't
7:21
Speaker 2: know many people who think that everything we do with immigration,
7:25
Speaker 2: as far as the legal immigration is perfect. I can
7:28
Speaker 2: attest to that because I can tell you having a
7:31
Speaker 2: wife who immigrated to this country, became a citizen all
7:35
Speaker 2: the right way. Never once was ever overstaying a visa.
7:39
Speaker 2: Everything was always valid and above board. It's an expensive process.
7:44
Speaker 2: It's a complicated process. It's a lot of paperwork, there's
7:47
Speaker 2: money involved. If you want to make sure that everything
7:50
Speaker 2: gets filed properly. The best thing you can do is
7:52
Speaker 2: hire a lawyer. That gets expensive. That's another aspect of it.
7:57
Speaker 2: So it's not easy, it's not cheap, but there's a
8:03
Speaker 2: legal way to do it. And I think people think
8:05
Speaker 2: there should be some reform on that side of it.
8:07
Speaker 2: The President has even talked about that, and a number
8:11
Speaker 2: of people in his cabinet and on his team have
8:14
Speaker 2: talked about it, and his supporters, but Obamacare was kind
8:17
Speaker 2: of the thing, that's the one thing that administration could
8:22
Speaker 2: really hang their head on. And the fact that Donald
8:24
Speaker 2: Trump was saying, we want to have some things, we
8:25
Speaker 2: want to have some accomplishments. I want to keep my promises.
8:29
Speaker 2: I want to move forward on things that we need
8:34
Speaker 2: to move forward on. And one of those things was
8:37
Speaker 2: that it was time to upgrade the ballroom in the
8:39
Speaker 2: White House. Now, I know there's some people who think, no,
8:41
Speaker 2: we didn't need it. I think after this White House
8:44
Speaker 2: Correspondence dinner, I think it shows that we certainly need something.
8:49
Speaker 2: And now it seems that the Republicans in Congress are
8:54
Speaker 2: saying we need a billion dollars tax payer money to
8:58
Speaker 2: help pay for this. Now some people are calling this
9:00
Speaker 2: a big bait and switch. And this was put into
9:04
Speaker 2: a Republican reconciliation bill and it's basically to cover secret
9:09
Speaker 2: Service security features connected there into that East wing as
9:15
Speaker 2: far as modernizing it, and they want some above and
9:20
Speaker 2: below ground protections inside the White House perimeter. The White
9:24
Speaker 2: House says the money is necessary for safety. Administration filing
9:29
Speaker 2: say the project includes hard materials, underground medical facilities, and
9:34
Speaker 2: a bomb shelter. So calling it a bait and switch.
9:38
Speaker 2: And I know a lot of people on the left
9:40
Speaker 2: have run with this and said, you know, this is
9:42
Speaker 2: we were promised one thing. This isn't what we're getting.
9:46
Speaker 2: This is you know, this is the Republicans being sneaky
9:50
Speaker 2: on us. And I would just like to remind you
9:54
Speaker 2: for a moment, and this isn't just to say like,
9:58
Speaker 2: because I think that the security features in this we
10:01
Speaker 2: now understand more than ever the importance of it. Remember,
10:05
Speaker 2: and I like to talk about this because it happened,
10:07
Speaker 2: and no one seems to have ever talked about it
10:10
Speaker 2: very much. But you know a large group of rioters
10:15
Speaker 2: tried to get to Donald Trump in his first term.
10:17
Speaker 2: They wanted to get into the White House and get him.
10:19
Speaker 2: That's what they thought they were going to do. I
10:21
Speaker 2: think many of them thought they were just going to
10:23
Speaker 2: be gunned down and be martyrs, and I think there
10:26
Speaker 2: were some of that, but they at least vocalized that
10:29
Speaker 2: their goal and their intention was to drag him out
10:31
Speaker 2: and kill him on the White House lawn. Obviously, that
10:35
Speaker 2: didn't happen, and so they set a church on fire,
10:37
Speaker 2: a really old church on fire, and said, you know,
10:40
Speaker 2: this is what we're going to do because we're just angry.
10:42
Speaker 2: You know, when you're angry, all you can do is
10:44
Speaker 2: burn things. That's all you're able to do. Set something
10:48
Speaker 2: on fire, you know, you know, beat somebody to death
10:51
Speaker 2: in the street. You can't get to the person you want,
10:55
Speaker 2: so you know, we vandalize things, steal, you know, go
10:59
Speaker 2: in and take you know, twenty people and grab shopping
11:01
Speaker 2: carts and run through a target and take everything you
11:03
Speaker 2: can take. Because when you're angry, you need big screen TVs.
11:07
Speaker 2: When you're angry, you need to bust in a jewelry
11:10
Speaker 2: store and steal jewelry or iPhones that you're not going
11:12
Speaker 2: to be able to use. All of those things are,
11:15
Speaker 2: you know, really important when it comes to you know
11:18
Speaker 2: your anger management, that's important. So you know the fact
11:22
Speaker 2: that there were people that were trying to get into
11:24
Speaker 2: the White House and these security features would be available
11:27
Speaker 2: to a president from either party or you know, crazy
11:31
Speaker 2: thought God forbid a third party that slipped in and
11:34
Speaker 2: won something. So you know, this would be something that
11:39
Speaker 2: would be used by all future presidents. And of course
11:42
Speaker 2: this also drives people crazy on the left because they
11:45
Speaker 2: don't want Trump to have anything. They would love to change.
11:49
Speaker 2: You know, they want we to go back to Gulf
11:51
Speaker 2: of Mexico and they want to remember when the wall
11:55
Speaker 2: was being built and they started selling off the scrap
11:57
Speaker 2: material and things that all of the it's not even
12:00
Speaker 2: scrap material, it was actual building supplies and taking down
12:04
Speaker 2: bits of wall to let more people come in the country.
12:06
Speaker 2: So just keep in mind that all that stuff happened,
12:12
Speaker 2: and they don't want him to have anything. So this
12:14
Speaker 2: is the thing, one of the things that he can have.
12:16
Speaker 2: And I just want to go back to the Obamacare thing.
12:20
Speaker 2: That was the ultimate bait and switch. We got promised
12:23
Speaker 2: a lot of things with Obamacare that were absolutely not true.
12:28
Speaker 2: They knew they were lying when they told them to us.
12:31
Speaker 2: You can keep your plan, you can keep your doctor.
12:35
Speaker 2: We were told healthcare costs weren't going to rise because
12:38
Speaker 2: of it, it was just going to and it wasn't
12:39
Speaker 2: going to be this huge burden on the everyday citizen,
12:43
Speaker 2: the middle class. It was going to all come from
12:45
Speaker 2: the upper class, the rich people. And none of that
12:48
Speaker 2: was true. In every possible way, those things were all faults.
12:53
Speaker 2: Middle class people felt the brunt of this worse than
12:55
Speaker 2: anyone else. I'm sure money came from rich people. I'm
13:00
Speaker 2: sure it did, but they don't feel it quite the
13:02
Speaker 2: way the middle class does. And our policy has at
13:07
Speaker 2: one point I could comfortably say quadrupled our premiums. I
13:11
Speaker 2: think it's more than that. Now I know that our
13:13
Speaker 2: copays have quadrupled, and then some I've got post surgery
13:19
Speaker 2: when people are saying, hey, you got to get in there,
13:21
Speaker 2: you got physical therapy. Physical therapy is now four times
13:24
Speaker 2: as much as it was when I first had a
13:27
Speaker 2: surgery because of Obamacare. So anytime you get the government
13:32
Speaker 2: more involved in things, it certainly creates a scenario where
13:35
Speaker 2: things could be worse and more complicated. I don't want
13:38
Speaker 2: to hear about bait and switch. When that presidency was very,
13:45
Speaker 2: very I guess they think good at it, but it
13:49
Speaker 2: was pretty clear what was going on. One more thing
13:52
Speaker 2: I want to talk about because California's governor race is
13:56
Speaker 2: we've talked about it a little bit and former Representive
14:00
Speaker 2: Katie Porter, who is the candidate for governor, and she's
14:05
Speaker 2: the one who, as you may recall, you know, had
14:08
Speaker 2: the person that came like she was doing the recording
14:11
Speaker 2: and she started yelling at somebody to get out of
14:13
Speaker 2: the shot or whatever. That was a while back. It
14:15
Speaker 2: seems to have moved on, but she's still trying to
14:18
Speaker 2: make a name for herself. And she has said something
14:22
Speaker 2: that many of us knew deep down inside, and she
14:26
Speaker 2: has actually said it out loud at the debate on Tuesday.
14:32
Speaker 2: She said, the job of California's governors to protect every
14:35
Speaker 2: single Californian, all right. The sanctuary state policy is designed
14:41
Speaker 2: to make sure that our state resources, the taxpayer dollars,
14:44
Speaker 2: the public servants that we have are focused on doing
14:46
Speaker 2: their jobs, which is not cooperating with the federal immigration authorities.
14:51
Speaker 2: These are Californians. They contribute to our economy, they pay taxes,
14:55
Speaker 2: and they're one of the only ways our state has
14:58
Speaker 2: been growing in recent years. Oh that is the uh,
15:05
Speaker 2: that is the quiet part out loud admitting how many
15:10
Speaker 2: people have left the state of California and the fact
15:13
Speaker 2: that the illegals are there for the purpose of keeping
15:17
Speaker 2: the padding in there for representation purposes. That's it. That's
15:22
Speaker 2: what we've known. That's exactly what we've known. And by
15:26
Speaker 2: admitting that actual citizens are leaving and the illegals are
15:30
Speaker 2: the reasons that they've grown, she is basically saying, maybe
15:36
Speaker 2: we got more seats than we should have, we got
15:39
Speaker 2: a little bit more credit in Congress than we should have.
15:42
Speaker 2: I think that's what she's saying. It sounds like it.
15:44
Speaker 2: That's what it sounds like to me. That's what I
15:46
Speaker 2: hear when she's talking. So, yeah, if they've had a
15:52
Speaker 2: lot of people leave, but they've had enough illegals come
15:54
Speaker 2: in that they've grown by twenty thousand people and that's
15:58
Speaker 2: the only reason that they're growing. Yes, thank you at
16:02
Speaker 2: least for being honest about it to us. Today's show
16:05
Speaker 2: brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space
16:08
Speaker 2: Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM
16:14
Speaker 2: leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages
16:19
Speaker 2: I mean they do it for school age kids as
16:22
Speaker 2: school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center,
16:24
Speaker 2: but they also do it through their university programs where
16:28
Speaker 2: you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in
16:33
Speaker 2: space and stem fields are booming right now, and you
16:37
Speaker 2: can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their
16:41
Speaker 2: website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out
16:47
Speaker 2: some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration
16:52
Speaker 2: that they do with the Schwobe School of Music from
16:55
Speaker 2: Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike
16:58
Speaker 2: any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's
17:02
Speaker 2: one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
17:05
Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
17:08
Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
17:14
Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
17:17
Speaker 2: Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome.
17:21
Speaker 2: Check out upcoming dates for the shows and also check
17:26
Speaker 2: out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you
17:28
Speaker 2: can get outside, sometimes you do it at the Cocola
17:31
Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
17:35
Speaker 2: city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you
17:37
Speaker 2: can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also
17:41
Speaker 2: on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan
17:45
Speaker 2: says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind
17:50
Speaker 2: you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center
17:54
Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
17:58
Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
18:01
Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
18:07
Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
18:11
Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
18:15
Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
18:18
Speaker 2: square and that away for you, and while they're there,
18:20
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
18:22
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
18:26
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
18:29
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
18:31
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
18:34
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
18:38
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
18:41
Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
18:45
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
18:48
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
18:51
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
18:54
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
18:57
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
19:00
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
19:02
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
19:04
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
19:06
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
19:09
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
19:12
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
19:15
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
19:18
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
19:21
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty five

Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
19:31
Speaker 2: after the break Well, first it was Spirit Airlines and
19:44
Speaker 2: now it's those bisc off cookies at Delta. I know
19:50
Speaker 2: it's not the same thing, but when you get on
19:53
Speaker 2: a Delta flight, you expect there to be certain things,
19:57
Speaker 2: and those cookies are one of those things you just
20:03
Speaker 2: expect it on a Delta flight, and they're tasty. I
20:08
Speaker 2: know you can get them other places, but you know,
20:12
Speaker 2: when you're on a plane, you kind of almost have
20:14
Speaker 2: like a Pavlov dog thing. I think that's kind of
20:17
Speaker 2: how I feel when I get on adulta flight. Well,
20:20
Speaker 2: not so fast if it's a short Delta flight, as
20:23
Speaker 2: Delta is now cutting complimentary snacks and drinks on their
20:28
Speaker 2: short flights, many of them, and this will begin on
20:32
Speaker 2: May the nineteenth. The passengers flying three hundred and forty
20:35
Speaker 2: nine miles or less New York to Boston, LA To
20:39
Speaker 2: San Francisco, Atlanta to Charlotte, those kind of flights no
20:43
Speaker 2: longer going to be receiving in flight beverages or snack service, unless,
20:48
Speaker 2: of course, you're in first class. The change will affect
20:52
Speaker 2: about four hundred and fifty Delta flights a day. Flights
20:56
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty miles or longer, we'll still get
20:58
Speaker 2: full service, Delta says. The change isn't just about cutting costs.
21:02
Speaker 2: On very short flights. Crews often have fifteen minutes or
21:05
Speaker 2: less to safely complete drink service, which can lead to
21:09
Speaker 2: rushed and inconsistent experiences. There's probably some truth to that,
21:13
Speaker 2: but it doesn't mean that we're not going to miss
21:15
Speaker 2: the cookies. That's all I'm saying. If you've gotten accustomed
21:19
Speaker 2: to certain things and then they take them away. I
21:24
Speaker 2: haven't flown Spirit many times, but I have definitely taken
21:27
Speaker 2: advantage of those Spirit flights before for a very very
21:33
Speaker 2: cheap flying experience. I'm going to miss that that that's
21:37
Speaker 2: an option. It wasn't comfortable. It wasn't the greatest flight
21:41
Speaker 2: of my life. It wasn't It was definitely the worst
21:43
Speaker 2: flight of my life when it came to comfort and
21:45
Speaker 2: things and the fact that it was like sitting in
21:50
Speaker 2: a folding chair stapled to the floor. But I'm still
21:54
Speaker 2: going to miss knowing that that option was there. I
21:56
Speaker 2: did it Atlanta to Chicago, by the way, that was
21:58
Speaker 2: the in back. I guess that's the only two that
22:01
Speaker 2: I did. May have done enough. I think that was
22:03
Speaker 2: the only one, all right. We talk about marathons, people
22:09
Speaker 2: that run marathons. There's an old joke about if you
22:12
Speaker 2: know someone who's run a marathon, they'll tell you about it,
22:17
Speaker 2: And basically seems like everybody who runs any kind of
22:24
Speaker 2: long distance running like that is going to tell you
22:26
Speaker 2: about it, and they should. It's a big accomplishment. I mean,
22:29
Speaker 2: they shouldn't have to tell everybody. But well, there's some
22:32
Speaker 2: marathon runners that don't tell anybody. They either run the
22:35
Speaker 2: half marathon or the full marathon and they don't tell anybody.
22:40
Speaker 2: They just do it for internal motivation. Basically, they don't
22:44
Speaker 2: want to have pressure or judgment maybe if they don't
22:47
Speaker 2: meet their goals. Some just like keeping the goals private.
22:51
Speaker 2: And this marathon moonlighter term has come up for people
22:56
Speaker 2: that do this. I'm for it. I am all for it,
23:03
Speaker 2: and I think that there's a number of things that
23:06
Speaker 2: people could could to do and not have to tell
23:08
Speaker 2: everybody about it. You know, switching to organic food, you
23:12
Speaker 2: don't have to. I mean, I get it. If you're
23:14
Speaker 2: gonna go somewhere and eat and you need to have
23:16
Speaker 2: preferences or you know, you have you know basically like
23:20
Speaker 2: I'm vegan or whatever, then you know, you got to
23:23
Speaker 2: let people know those kinds of things. But just general conversation,
23:26
Speaker 2: you don't have to tell everybody about it, that's all.
23:30
Speaker 2: If you're an upstanding citizen who pays your taxes and
23:33
Speaker 2: files them on time, but haven't received your refund. You're
23:36
Speaker 2: not alone. The IRS says refunds are taking longer this
23:39
Speaker 2: year for several reasons, including more fraud screening, paper returns,
23:43
Speaker 2: returns with errors, or special tax credits. Most refunds still
23:48
Speaker 2: arrive within three weeks or twenty one days if you've
23:51
Speaker 2: filed electronically and chose direct deposit, but that clock stops
23:55
Speaker 2: if the IRS needs to manually review your return. Common
23:59
Speaker 2: slowdownslue claiming the earned income tax credit or child tax credit,
24:03
Speaker 2: filing an amended return, or submitting paperwork by mail instead
24:08
Speaker 2: of online. If you haven't gotten your check yet and
24:10
Speaker 2: you're wondering where's my refund, the IRS advises you to
24:13
Speaker 2: check the Where's my Refund tool on their website IRS
24:18
Speaker 2: dot gov. But there's a lot of people apparently that
24:21
Speaker 2: are dealing with this situation, So you're not the only one,
24:26
Speaker 2: I guess, is what I'm telling you if you are,
24:30
Speaker 2: in fact one of the people that are having this problem.
24:35
Speaker 2: With grilling season coming up fast, usually that kind of
24:38
Speaker 2: kicks off with the Memorial Day weekend. Basically we are
24:47
Speaker 2: getting ready for you know, grilling, and that means hot
24:50
Speaker 2: dogs and a lot of hot dogs getting eaten over
24:52
Speaker 2: the summer, and you know the Nathan's Hot Dog eating
24:56
Speaker 2: contest is going to have a new option this summer.
25:00
Speaker 2: Addition to the traditional beef dog that you know Joey
25:04
Speaker 2: Chestnut famously eats every fourth of July, Nathan's has launched
25:08
Speaker 2: its new one, grass fed beef dog. The company says
25:12
Speaker 2: the new grass fed beef is the only change in
25:15
Speaker 2: the century old secret recipe. The grass fed beef dogs
25:18
Speaker 2: do have a little less fat in them than the original,
25:21
Speaker 2: so they might seem a little bit less juicy when
25:24
Speaker 2: you put them in the bun. So I like the
25:29
Speaker 2: Nathan's hot dogs are good. I would give this a shot, certainly,
25:32
Speaker 2: and if it didn't taste the same, I would just
25:35
Speaker 2: go back to the others. But you know, we can
25:37
Speaker 2: all do a little less fat in there. That would
25:40
Speaker 2: be good. That'll do it for this Thursday edition of
25:43
Speaker 2: the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you
25:46
Speaker 2: for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
