  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, thirteenth day of May. I'm Wes, thanks for
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: joining me. We've been talking about how we just keep
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: getting cool weather into this stretch of what's supposed to
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: be spring. We're kind of knocking on the door now
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: as we're getting about midway through May, knocking on the
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: door of kind of the calendar summer, you know, which that's,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: you know, June, July, August. I know people go, well,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: technically technically we go to astronomical in it's late June,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: but kind of by calendar, if you're just going by
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the calendar months June, July, August or summer. And we
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: had a very chilly day and many parts of the
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: country yesterday, especially here in the southeast where we're not
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: used to having weather as cold as it was yesterday.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: This time of year.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I know that sometimes we have these anomalies, but anyway,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I keep saying, oh, well, we get the vengeance is coming,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: and it is, it's still coming. But it's just been
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: nice to have some cooler weather and anything that kind
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: of wards off any of the critters, the insects and
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: things that I think for me, a big part of
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: why I enjoy the colder weather months is you know,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: if you're mosquitosf your wasps, you know, all these kind
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: of things, roaches, all the things that in the southeast
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: at least are you know, really really thrive in the
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: warm weather months, all of those things, anything that keeps
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: them at bay. I know that we haven't gotten cold
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: enough really to shut them all down, but it does
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: feel like right now there's not as many.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Of the mosquitoes. That's the big one for me, the mosquitoes.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: There have been a lot of wasp and yellow jackets
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: and things around, but anything that's slowing down the process,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: that's what I want to want to slow it down.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: So they're just not as many of them. That's what
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I hope for at least. And that's one.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: And then you know, the things that come with spring,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: with pollen and things are the other things. But there's
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: also the fall season of pollen that's been kind of
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a concern for me a lot in the later years.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: But anyway, I'm enjoying having some cooler weather. I know
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: today is going to be We're going to be back
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: up in the eighties and it's going to feel more
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: like spring. But that's what's going on here in my
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: part of the country. The other thing that happens around
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: this time of year now, and it's a lot different
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: than it used to be. And we've discussed this, I
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: think in the past. I know I've discussed it at
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: least on the radio, but maybe here the fact that
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the Sports Illustrated swimsuit now, it used to be called
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the Swimsuit Issue, that's what it was called. This used
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to be a big deal, used to be a really
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: really big deal when this swimsuit issue would come out.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: It's Sports Illustrated. It's you know, these models in swimsuits,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and you go, well, that's that's sounds like a formula
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: for success to me. You know, these attractive women, exotic
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: women in some cases, from all around the world. You
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: put them in a bikini, you put them in a
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: magazine and under the guise of hey, I've got a
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: subscription to Sports Illustrated, and then I you know, I
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: can't help myself. This thing just happens to show up.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I can't tell them I want all the issues.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: But that one.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: So they're going to send me that one right to
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: my house. And that was just the way it was
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: for a long time. And then they got to a
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: point where they decided that it was important to you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: really go, well, this is the first ever dot dot dot.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: You know, they have all these first they have to
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: check these, you know, these major accomplishment boxes, and they go, well,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: you know, the first Asian woman on the cover, or
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you know whatever, first Pacific Islander woman on the cover,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: whatever the thing is. And they said, well, we can't
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: keep up, like get enough of these done, like fast enough,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: so we're going to add more cover models for it. Well,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the whole thing now starts as like a digital thing,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: and then they actually have print copies of it. I
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: guess that come out. I didn't even know they were
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: still printing the Swimsuit issue, but I'm reading it right
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: now where it says available online now, and there are
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: print copies hitting shelves later in the week. So I
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: guess this year there's a thirty four women that are
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: part of this sports fashion entertainment social media and you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: scenic locations from around the world, from Florida to New
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: York to Botswana and Mexico, and the Caribbean. That's what
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: it says, and they basically say they're priding themselves issue
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: on body diversity, inclusivity and celebrating women at every stage
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: of life. And look, they can do whatever they want
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: to do. It's their their magazine, their digital product, whatever
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: it is. I know that the first time that they
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: told me that there were you know, trans models in it,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: that changes the game a bit. Okay, whatever you can
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: interpret that however you want to interpret that statement, but
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: it does change the game a bit. I couldn't tell
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you the last time I looked at a Sports Illustrated
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: swimsuit issue, Like I said, I didn't know they were
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: still printing them. But you know, kudos to them for,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: you know the fact that they are including some people
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: that maybe you don't think of as a model, like
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, was it Betty White?
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Who wasn't Betty White?
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Somebody? Dolly Parton maybe was on there recently.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Good for them.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I just want to in this year there's four cover models,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: and I just I would like to acknowledge somebody that
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I've spent some time with over the years, and I'm
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: excited for her. She's at a point in her career
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: where she's kind of having I guess another moment. They
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: say that about celebrities sometimes, like they're having a moment
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: and then it kind of goes away and they have
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: a moment. And Hillary Duff is having a moment right now.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: And further proof of that is that she's on the
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: She's one of the cover models. So congratulations Hillary. I'm excited,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: excited for her, and spent some time with her and
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: her sister and then she came to Columbus and we
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: hung out for a little bit and look forward to
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: the next time I see her.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: I think that would be great. And if I.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Can get my hands on a sports illustrated swimsuit no
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: addition that has her on the cover, you know, maybe
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: i'd get her to sign it for me. Maybe I'll
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: do that next time. So there's that, and that seems
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: like one of those springtime things. One more quick thing
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: before I get onto the show is the topic for today.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I should say this is the show, but those of
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: you reached out to me about yesterday show.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I loved hearing from you.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of ha ha haas there was a
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: lot of wonder who you're talking about kind of things.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: A couple of people have like, oh, ouch, look, it's
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: not mean spirited. Maybe it came across that way. I
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: hope it did not. That's not what I was intending.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: There's some truth to my feelings about it, but it
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: wasn't intended to be mean. I just think, you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: you hit sixty seventy years old, you know, maybe trying
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: to still be hanging out with your college frat buddies,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: you know, every week, all the time, always wearing your
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: It just seems like maybe you would outgrow that. I mean,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: if you're still wearing your you're still wearing your colors
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: from your fraternity, and then maybe they have they seem
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: to appear more frequently around election seasons. That's all I
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: was trying to get at. If you missed the show,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: you can check it out from yesterday.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: On the show. I'm not going to go too much
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: into that today.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: So today's show I kind of have to do a
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: little bit of a you know, just a little bit
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: of a deja vous moment from something we've been talking about.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: And I have been very open about the fact that
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I think, in my opinion, if you were okay with
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the high gas prices by the way still record gas
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: prices four years ago in the Biden administration, the all
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: time high record back then then, and you were okay
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: with it because that was the president. But you were
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: okay with it. You have to kind of you can't
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: to me, really legitimately complain right now about gas price
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: If you were fine with it four years ago, complaining
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: about it now makes you a hypocrite. And I would
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: also say equally, if you were complaining about it four
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: years ago and now you're okay with it on the
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Republican side, I think there's a little hypocrisy there. I
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: think it's everybody should be frustrated in both of those scenarios.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: That's my thoughts now I have voiced. I think four
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: years ago we were suffering high gas prices and record
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: nine plus percent inflation all time, like you know, four
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: decades of records of inflation, and it was that period
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: was about you know, profiting the people invested in green
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: energy and whatever. People on the left want to do
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: the redistribution of everything, and God forbid, somebody you know,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: go out and put a put a company together that
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: earns billions and decide that you know, they want to
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: use their billions for other things.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Whatever they want to do with it.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: They God forbid, they take a company and make more
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: companies and you know, help people walk and you know,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: sustainability with electric cars and those kinds of things and
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: rockets and really push forward some of our missions when
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: it comes to exploring space. But God forbid they do that.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: They're just terrible because you know, their company that pays
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: crazy taxes, but they personally don't pay the same taxes
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: because they don't really take a paycheck from the company
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: they work for. But everybody wants to string them up.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: But the green people that were profiting four years ago,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: right after COVID, a time when we should have been
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: doing everything we could to get all prices and oil
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: and everything as low as possible. And know it was
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: an administration that just said it was hijacked. It was
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: a hijacked administration, to be fair. But the people behind
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the scenes making decisions said let's shut off the pipelines
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: and let's let's start buying oil from Russia and then
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: they'll use that money to invade Ukraine and we'll pretend like, oh,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: who knew this might be a side effect of all
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: of this, And then a war goes on and we're
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: dumping money in Ukraine and after helping to fund the invasion,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: So that was a little different than what's going on
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: now is we're trying to, you know, get things in
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: the Middle East at a level that's acceptable for everyone
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: in the world to be comfortable with it. And quite frankly,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: if a Democrat president was doing what's going on now,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: people would be on the left would be praising it,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: and I'm sure they would be probably some of the
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: same people criticizing it now on the right would be
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: criticizing it. But again, I think if you're gonna if
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: you're gonna say, man, these gas prices are brutal, then
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: you have to do it now. And if you're doing
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: it now, you should have been doing it then That's
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: that's kind of my thoughts on that. And then similarly,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: we're getting the stats in where basically we got some
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: inflation going on based on the guy the higher gas prices,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: highest inflation rate says in three years, up from three
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: point three percent in March, well above February's two point
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: four percent. This is a very different scale that we're
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: talking about here versus the nine point one percent we
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: were dealing with back then. Okay, this is very different
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: and it's for very different reasons. But again, if you
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: were complaining, then I think there should be some level
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: of complaining about it now. And again this is a
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: byproduct of you know, funding Russia's invasion of Ukraine. I
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: don't think it was intentional, but someone should have known
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: maybe that was a possibility. And then of course trying
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: to to you know, make people a lot of money
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: that had investments in green energy. I do think that
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: was intentional in a lot of ways. And then versus now,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: you know, trying to help I don't know, women in
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Iran not have to ask permission to you know, go
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: outside of their house. I know that's not specifically the
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: goal in Iran, but I think that could be a byproduct,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: and that would be worth some slightly higher prices. I
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: think if we're trying to really and truly be beneficial,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know, to the world, it's not our responsibility.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I think the real reason for doing it is, Hey,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: we don't want Israel to be blown off the map.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: We don't want World War three to begin, we don't
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: want possibly the beginning of the apocalypse, which is what
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Iran would have been hoping for.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: With a nuclear weapon.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: We don't want any of that to be the case.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: So let's make sure that they don't have the ability
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: to create a nuclear weapon and start lobbing it into places.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: That's the first most important thing. But if the side
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: effect of it ends up being, hey, you know what,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: a girl can grow up and I don't know, be
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: a doctor or a scientist or I don't know, wear
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: a regular shirt and not have to cover her face
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: when she goes outside, and I don't know.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Drive a car.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Exit the house without permission from her husband. If those
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: are byproducts, and if we're really going to pretend that
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: we're this country that's all about trying to support the
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: rights of women, maybe we could start with you know,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: that would be a nice byproduct of.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: All of this.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: There's plenty of other reasons for what we're doing, but
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: that would be nice. I think that would be a win.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I think that's something that women all around the world
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: who have freedoms should be in support of and not
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: just shaking their fists because er Trump.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: It's like when they.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Say, hey, a woman just went around the moon, and
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: people go, but Trump did it, well, But a woman
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: just went around on the moon. You know that happened.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: We should be happy about that. There's going to be
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: a woman that's going to stand on the moon at
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: some point here in the in the next couple of years,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: and that's going to happen, and we should be hey,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: that's great, what a great opportunity for er. It's Trump.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's just the way we are. Unfortunately, that's
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: a byproduct of just all of what we are right
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: now as a country. But I do think that I
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: think that folks on the right that are just being
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: very dismissive about the rising prices in a time when
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: we certainly need them to go down and they don't.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: That's the thing about inflation. They don't go up and
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: then come back down. They just go up and they
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: stay up, and then you have to let wages catch up.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: That's just the process of how it works. But let's
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: just remind ourselves that this is not the same inflation.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: We were dealing with before.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: It's very when you're talking about a two point four
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: to three point three percent, that's very different than nine
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: point one percent. Today's show brought to you by Columbus
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center inspiring and educating
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders

• 16:15
  Speaker 2: for school age kids as school age kids visit the
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got

  Speaker 2: Right after the break. A new survey is showing that
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: a lot of Americans are putting a hold on big
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: summer travel for this year, and money is the reason
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: about forty percent of respondents, so they won't be taking
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: any trips this summer, mostly because they just can't afford to,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: or they're trying to pay down some debt or save
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: some money. Folks who are traveling U are the ones
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: that are doing it. Are trying to get more budget conscious.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Shorter trips, cheaper destinations, day trips, staycations all expected to
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: be on the rise for this year. Not a big
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: chakra on any of that. That happens when gas prices
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: are high and just the cost of everything seems to
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: be creeping up a little bit. Tomato soup cake is
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: back yep. Social media has been saying, hey, you pour
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: a can of tomato soup and some yellow cake batter
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: and you make a cake with it. It's not new, though,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: It's tomato soup cake. It's been around for about a century,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: first appearing in American cookbooks in the nineteen twenties, and
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: it became really popular during the Great Depression. In World
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: War Two, bakers were short on eggs, butter, and milk,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: so tomato soup was adding moisture, acidity, and structure to
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: some basically really simple sort of spice cakes. Recipe took
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: off when Campbell started promoting it in THEES and printing
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: versions on soup cans. Despite the name, it doesn't taste
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: like tomatoes. It's more of a pumpkin bread type a
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: spice cake, and it's usually topped with a cream cheese frosting.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: So it looks disgusting when it's made. It looks or
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: it's being made, i should say, and it looks delicious
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: after it's made. So I don't know, maybe I'll give
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: this a shot.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: At some point. I mean maybe, I don't know.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Speaking of cake, I mean, cake is something that you
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: know goes great with ice cream, right, you know, A
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: La Mode Well, they say, according to the folks that
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Halo who makes the Halo Top ice cream, they've basically
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: been saying, when you're enjoying your pine of ice cream,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: you should not be disrupted by phone calls, text, or email.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: So they're in encouraging folks with their new silent a
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: La Mode spoon. It's a gold colored spoon that uses
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: NFC tech like the Football Conference Short Range wireless technology,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: and it automatically puts your phone on do not disturb
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: when you tap it. The goal is fewer notifications and
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: more focus on your ice cream. The spoon goes on
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: sale on Friday Halo top dot com. It's a four
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: dollars and ninety cent item that you could maybe just,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know, use one of the spoons in your
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: drawer and just put your phone on do not disturb.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: I know why they're selling it. I think it's a neat,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: novelty thing, But really, do you need to spend five
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: bucks on something that's just something you could easily do
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: at home?
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: Just push the button and you're good to go.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Has politics ruined a friendship for you? If so, you're
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: not alone. A new survey found that differences in political
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: views are straining, sometimes even ends relationships, and according to
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: the research, nearly forty percent of Americans say they have
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: lost at least one relationship due to political differences, when
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: more than half of them saying they'd lost more than one.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Friendships have taken the biggest hit, with sixty two percent
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: saying that they'd lost a friend over political divides. Forty
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: percent said they'd actually fallen out with a family member.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Wonder how many of them are related to Jimmy Kimmel
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: twenty nine percent. A coworker in ten percent set a
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: romantic relationship ended because of politics. The tricky part is
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: that while most people say they want civil conversations, in reality,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: many decide it's just easier to pull away than to
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: argue about things. And Yep, I've lost I suspect I've
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: lost some. I never got an explanation for a few
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: of them. And I go, I don't really know what
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: happened here, And then I think, well, it probably, you know,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: it probably is something to do with that. I think,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know for sure. I don't think I've had anybody. Well,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I know of a couple that have told me that
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: we couldn't be friends, but they were kind of acquaintances,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: but close friends.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: I suspect, I think.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: According to a new study, eighty percent of companies that
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: have been laying off employees because of AI haven't seen
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: an increase in their return on the investment. The big idea,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: of course, is to cut labor costs, but it seems
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: that lower costs don't result in a boom to.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: The bottom line.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Good This has led to some experts suggesting that things
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: could actually turn around and AI will end up leading
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: to more jobs and not fewer jobs. We'll see, we
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: can hope. And one of the ways that you can
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: do that is you can do your part in not
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: supporting the companies that are blowing out all their staff
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: for the sake of either AI or you know, any
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: sort of automation type thing all that stuff. Do what
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: you can do, that's all I'm saying. That'll do it
• 25:04
