You're listening to The West Carol Morning Show. Wednesday morning, twenty eighth day
0:13
of June high I'm West. Thanks for joining me. Hope you feel safe
0:18
as you listen today. It's my goal keep you feeling safe, at least
0:24
feeling safe. Whether you're actually safe or not, I don't know, but
0:27
I hope at the very least I can help you to feel safe here as
0:33
we continue on here in this new location. Apparently this is permanent, So
0:37
if you've now followed us here, maybe commented on the page, that would
0:41
be great. You can go into wherever you're listening and make a comment,
0:46
leave us five stars preferably, but you know, rate the show and make
0:51
sure to let people know that you found us and that you're listening here and
0:56
that you feel safe. Maybe you can incorporate the words safe with your comments.
1:00
I would love to have people commenting across the platforms. I love the
1:06
show. Really feel safe while listening, you know sometime maybe whilst listening,
1:11
I'd love to see the word whilst in there a few places. But thank
1:15
you for following along with us on this journey. Here we are feeling safe
1:21
and working our way. I don't always feel safe. I don't always in
1:26
daily life. There's many occasions. I like those moments where you're just trying
1:30
to like pump gas, and then you got some random guy walks up to
1:34
you and want you to, you know, buy him a I don't know,
1:38
a belt or something for his car. You know what. Yeah,
1:42
yeah, I didn't know you were there. And I like the guys that
1:45
walk up to ask you for, you know, twelve dollars because it's like,
1:49
I need to get a belt from my car. I need twelve dollars.
1:51
And they walk up, they go, hey, big guy, and
1:53
I go, you lost me right there. I mean, I wasn't gonna
1:56
give you any money anyway, You're walking up on me at the gas pump,
2:01
making me not feel safe. I want some guarantees of feeling safe,
2:07
whether I'm safe or not. You know, when I look out and I
2:10
still occasionally see people wearing the masks in the store, man, that makes
2:15
me feel safe. I'm glad. I appreciate them making me feel safe,
2:19
and I hope you feel safe as you. At some point I'll stop with
2:22
the safe stuff, but for now, I'd love to see safe in some
2:24
ratings for the show and the word whilst. If you can help me out
2:28
with that, I would really appreciate it. All right, let's talk about
2:32
colonizing. It's been one of my favorite topics over the past I don't know
2:38
six months or so. Well, you go back to, you know,
2:42
when we had the World Cup and they were upset because we were playing it
2:47
in Qatar. For a while that country was called Cutter, and then they
2:52
changed it back to Qatar because I guess when they got there. They showed
2:55
up and they said here we are in Cutter, and the people there went,
2:59
it's guitar, and then went, oh, we've been saying cutter.
3:02
Why have we've been saying cutter? I don't know. You used to say
3:06
guitar like us, and it's guitar. Stop saying cutter. And while you're
3:10
at it, go back to calling it uranus, because calling it uranus is
3:15
still making teenage kids giggle, and you know, man, children like me
3:21
uranus uranus. Either way, it's got a word in it to make you
3:23
giggle. If you want to call it something completely different and by all means
3:29
change it completely. But if you're just trying to go from one to the
3:31
other to make it less silly. They're both silly words. What was I
3:37
talking about? Oh yeah, guitar, So that's it's the name of the
3:40
country. And they said, oh, we're here in cutter No, you're
3:43
in Qatar, okay, and we're here to play soccer, and some of
3:46
us are here to watch soccer, and some of us, I'm sorry,
3:50
football and some of us are here to cover this World Cup all these countries
3:57
here and while we're here, we'd like to make a stand about this country's
4:01
views on gay marriage and homosexuality. And people said, whoa, whoa,
4:06
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This is this is about soccer,
4:10
it's about football. This has got nothing to do with that. And people
4:14
say, but we're here. We have to make a strong message. We
4:16
have many athletes that are playing that either or are themselves gay married, want
4:27
to be gay married, or or care for someone in their family or friends
4:30
that that is themselves are themselves gay married. So we have to make sure
4:35
everybody knows at every given point while we're here in this country that would not
4:41
allow those people to get married here, how wrong they are, and we
4:45
should change their thinking, and people said, well, what the hell does
4:48
that have to do with soccer. Let's just take a minute and focus on
4:51
the fact that this is where soccer people say, well, they never should
4:56
have played soccer here because of their views on gay marriage. We just can't
5:01
stand for this. We're gonna wear rainbows all over our clothes. We want
5:06
captains on the field to wear rainbow arm bands. And they said, no,
5:12
no, no, you can't wear the rainbow arm bands where that's not
5:15
approved uniform for this particular World Cup. You can't do that. And if
5:20
you do it, we're gonna find you. Well, we'll have people that
5:26
will pay the fines for us. And he said, and the captain will
5:29
get a yellow card to start the game. And they said, oh,
5:30
well, now we're talking about actual ways it might impact the outcome of this
5:35
whole tournament. In that case, it's not such a big deal. Let's
5:40
just back down a bit. Let's everybody calm down. We don't want to
5:44
lose arguably our best player, at least the player we've deemed the leader of
5:49
the squad. We don't want to lose them because they go a couple of
5:54
games getting them yellow cards and you've got some issues. But as I pointed
6:00
out, then, how is that any different than this colonizing thing that we've
6:03
been talking about here in the States for some years now. How dare Europeans
6:11
go all over the world and try to make the world in their mind a
6:15
better place? They want to bring first of all, Christianity. That was
6:20
one of the main things that they were doing all over and people went,
6:24
ah, how can you do that? Why would you? Why would you
6:28
go out and evangelicize this religion that has being an evangelical as part of it.
6:34
Why would you do such things? But that's what they did in many
6:40
places, and people said, I can't believe they brought the Gospel all over
6:43
the world, and they brought all of these European ideas and philosophies all over
6:48
the world and tried to help the world and make it a better place in
6:51
their minds? And how dare they do this? All they did was oppress
6:55
those people who were there bringing in their ideas that they thought, we're better
7:00
ideas. Then we're already in place in those countries, right, And I
7:08
think that's basically what we were trying to do with the World Cup, right,
7:10
with people just going in going we're gonna wear a rainbow's We're gonna make
7:14
these people understand they're wrong. We're right. We're gonna force it on them.
7:17
We're gonna just keep pushing it until they just accept that what we know
7:23
is correct and they are wrong, while at the same time ripping down statues
7:29
of you know, various I don't know, explorers and discoverers and all sorts
7:33
of things. All right, so how dare they get out there and colonize?
7:38
And there've been a few examples of this colonizing thing. We've got another
7:41
one. We've got another one. Here we go. The un IS they've
7:48
got this, uh, this thing called I Verify that they're going to be
7:53
using. And this is this is I'm reading this right from their Twitter account.
7:59
UN Development, misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech threatened peace and security
8:05
disappropriately disproportionately. I added an eight of that didn't I misinformation, disinformation,
8:16
and hate speech threatened peace and security disproportionately, affecting those who already are vulnerable.
8:24
I Verify as our automated fact checking tool that can help identify false information
8:30
and prevent it spread. So it says a hashtag no to hate, and
8:35
then it's got. This is the way they say it's gonna work. I
8:39
verify, will read verified news, you can share the truth, and you
8:46
will stop misinformation. Okay, that's what they've got. This is the way
8:50
this supposedly works. Content gets flagged, whether that's manually or automatically, and
8:58
then it's reviewed by an open sword worst algorithm, probably to decide if it
9:01
feels safe. I added that part sorry, which uses machine learning to establish
9:05
whether it is fact checkable and or constitutes hate speech. Okay. The content
9:13
sources are consulted and the responses are checked against public data and sources ranging from
9:18
thematic experts to relevant authorities to ensure that all sides of the story are investigated.
9:26
Three reviewers then sign off on quality control. All right, three of
9:31
them. Three. The content is then presented with a cautionary rating based on
9:39
the determinations of the reviewers, and fact checks can later be updated. So
9:46
what is this all about. It's about they say, stopping online information pollution,
9:54
because they say that's an urban, urgent, global challenge that's taking place
10:00
around the world. So they want to control I'm sorry, they want to
10:03
review and make sure that people aren't saying things that shouldn't be said. They
10:13
want to make sure that people aren't spreading information that they don't think should be
10:20
spread around. So when we have situations like I don't know, Hey,
10:26
that's just a big old urban myth that you're spread around that's already been proven
10:30
faults are already been proven true, and how dare you continue to say it?
10:37
And then later we find out, oh, well, movie that was
10:39
true. Oh wait a minute, you're telling me that a lab in China
10:43
did make this virus and it leaked from that lab. Oops. We've been
10:50
telling everybody that that's not the case, so much so that many people don't
10:54
know that the science now says that that's pretty much what happened. But anyway,
11:01
so, oh so they want to control the information. They want to
11:07
tell everybody what should be said and what should not be said. Because they
11:13
got three people, they can make the decision on this. So basically,
11:18
the United Nations, in an attempt to eliminate this information pollution, the urgent
11:26
global challenge is going to colonize the world. And is that not what they're
11:33
trying to do. They want to make sure that information that's being shared,
11:39
information that's being passed around is true, at least in their perspective, anything
11:46
that could I don't. I mean, I would think that if the information
11:50
isn't convenient, convenient to the United Nations, that they could do their part
11:56
in shutting it down, couldn't. They They want you to feel safe.
12:00
They want you to feel like somebody's looking out for us and making sure that
12:03
there's no misinformation out there. It's only correct and true information. From their
12:09
perspective. They don't want, you know, don't get me wrong. There's
12:11
a lot of bad stuff that's spread around on the Internet, a lot of
12:16
it. You know, Tom Hanks eats babies and all that stuff. I
12:18
understand there is a certain amount of information that is just despicable. But there's
12:26
a lot of stuff that will be greatly impacted by this in a very very
12:31
bad way, a lot of it. Hey, here's a story that you
12:35
might never see if they get this in place. This is an interesting story.
12:39
It comes from Reuters. As they look through the ancestry of different political
12:45
elites, right that they go through people in Congress, they go through governors,
12:50
they go through former presidents and current presidents. And it might be interesting
12:58
for you to know that of all of the current or former like living presidents,
13:05
only one of them has no ties to slave trade at all. You
13:09
want to guess which one? You want to guess which one? Uh?
13:13
Yeah, it's the most recent, former president Donald Trump, his family having
13:22
no ties, according to Reuters, to America's original sin and a lot of
13:30
it in a lot of cases. These are you know, sort of family
13:33
secrets or things that's maybe some of these people didn't know. So five living
13:39
presidents, to Supreme Court justices, eleven governors, one hundred legislators. According
13:46
to this UH seven thousand word examination says one hundred legislators to sind from ancestors
13:50
who enslaved black people. Yes, Barack Obama's family, Joe Biden's family,
14:00
Bill Clinton's family, George W. Bush's family, and Jimmy Carter's family.
14:03
Not Jimmy and Biden's family. I mean, I don't. There's a lot
14:13
a lot of things that he said and done that were very, very racist
14:18
and at the time, you know, working with segregationists in the past,
14:22
things like that. It's interesting the past that he continues to get But yes,
14:26
the Trump family none in their background. Some of the more high profile
14:35
members of Congress with UH this is one hundred of the one hundred seventeenth Congresses,
14:41
five hundred thirty six members. Lindsey Graham Senator Lindsay Graham is one that
14:46
was noted in there. Senator Tammy Duckworth, Tom Cotton looking for a few,
14:54
uh, let's see Moe Brooks from Alabama. That's just some of the
15:01
more notable ones on there. But there were some that were really highlighted in
15:07
there. So this attempt at kind of digging into the political elites. It's
15:13
interesting some of the folks that were exposed in this. And it's the Trump
15:20
thing is maybe the thing that jumps out at me the most. It's interesting
15:22
at the very least. It's interesting, isn't it. Today's show brought to
15:26
you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage door needs,
15:31
whether it's commercial or residential, maybe it's time for an upgrade. As we
15:37
get into summer months, it's a great time for you to do a service
15:43
call, a maintenance call on your garage, especially if you've got some kind
15:46
of noise. Maybe there's a knocking, maybe there's a clanging, maybe you've
15:48
got chain issues. Depends on what kind of garage door you've got really maybe
15:54
there's a cosmetic issue that you need to deal with. Well, the folks
15:58
at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of all of that for you.
16:00
Maybe it's a whole new garage door that you need installed. Maybe you'd
16:04
like to install one of those sweet mosquito net garage doors where you close it
16:10
down and then you've got all of a sudden, like an outdoor space that's
16:14
away from the mosquitos, and that comes in handy if you've got a ping
16:18
pong table that's inside your garage. Maybe you like to do work on your
16:22
own car inside your garage. Maybe it's kind of a workshop area for you,
16:26
but you enjoy the benefits of being outside without those pesky flies and mosquitos
16:33
and gnats and all those things that want to come in and bother you.
16:37
Plus, if you need help after hours, Overhead Door Company of Columbus can
16:41

18:56
the break, Well, it's now official. As many suspected, Ryan Seacrest
19:12
will be taking over as the host of Wheel of Fortune when Pat Say Jack
19:18
retires after the shows forty first season, Seacrest saying I'm humbly, truly humbled
19:26
to be stepping down. Well, it's official now. Ryan Seacrest will be
19:36
taking over the role as host of Wheel of Fortune after longtime host Pat Say
19:41
Jack retires after the show's forty first season, Seacrest writing, I'm truly humbled
19:48
to be stepping into the footsteps so the legendary Pat say Jack, I can
19:52
stay along with the rest of America that it's been a privilege and pure joy
19:55
to watch Pat and Vanna on our television screens for an unprecedented forty years,
20:00
making a smile every night and feel right at home with them. There were
20:04
some others who were being considered or at least names floating around, Mario Lopez,
20:11
Whoopi Goldberg among them, but Ryan Seacrest officially got the gig. Is
20:15
he gonna let anybody else have any jobs at any point? I mean,
20:19
he seems to be just grabbing all the jobs. The guy's not afraid to
20:25
work, not afraid to work and stay busy, but you know, game
20:29
show host kind of seems to fit for him. I guess, all right,
20:33
So, I guess at one time the thing was quiet quitting at work,
20:37
people that just kind of doing the bare minimum at work, not being
20:41
engaged and kind of trying to stay below the radar. Well, now apparently
20:47
there is a new trend in loud quitting, and that is when employees are
20:55
dissatisfied with their jobs and not afraid to let everybody know about it or do
21:00
things to harm the organization. According to a new Gallop Pole, twenty percent
21:03
of employees or loud quitting directly trying to harm the organization, undercutting its goals
21:08
and opposing its leadership. Loud quitters are disruptive and actively disengaged at work is
21:17
which is a you know, drastic contrast from those quiet quitters. So,
21:22
all right, another change in terminology. You've heard about ghosting when it comes
21:27
to relationships and people that just you know, kind of vanish into thin air
21:33
don't respond to you at all. Well, apparently there's a new term in
21:37
the world of dating called gophering, and it kind of you eventually get to
21:44
the you know, the ghosting stage of it, of them being gone,
21:48
but there's more activity involved ahead of time. Folks that are gophered, they
21:52
say, according to the term, are dealing with a new romantic prospect who
21:57
you know, gives you all in indications that a good time can be had
22:02
between the two of you, and then they pull it away without warning.
22:06
So like you find a match online, you have a good conversation with them,
22:08
things seem to be hitting it off, and then there's this prospect of
22:12
hey, we're gonna, we're gonna get together. And then they go back
22:17
and pretend that you never had that conversation and snatch it all the way from
22:22
you. And that's the idea behind gophering. It sounds pretty close to ghosting,
22:25
though, doesn't it. Do you sing in the car, the shower,
22:29
maybe at karaoke or at a choir, It says they're probably happier.
22:33
A new study found that singing, particularly singing with others like in a band,
22:37
choir, or chorus, is good for your mental and physical health.
22:41
So there you go, folks at Jiffy Lub, we're trying to do something
22:47
for people that own the ice cream trucks, acknowledging the fact that summertime ice
22:52
cream it's big. But they want to make sure that the trucks out on
22:56
the roads are safe, the vans and trucks. So Jiffy Lube says they
23:02
want to keep the ice cream coming. They're partnering with Good Humor to offer
23:07
free vehicle maintenance to all ice cream trucks and vans. The company saying that
23:11
any ice cream truck that meets the Jiffy Lube Vehicles qualification can apply for a
23:18
complimentary maintenance voucher that can be used at participating Jiffy Lube locations while supplies last.
23:25
And you can also expect to see good humor hosting ice cream socials that
23:27
select Jiffy Lube locations throughout the summer, all part of the big promotion of
23:33
ice cream and Jiffy Lube. And finally, when it comes to fast food,
23:40
nobody can compete with Americans. According to a recent study, forty three
23:44
point seven percent of Americans eight fast food at lunch forty two percent at dinner
23:48
at some point last year, while spending more than at twelve hundred dollars on
23:52
fast food annually. As of June. At twenty twenty two, the fast
23:57
food industry in the United States held a significant value of approximately three hundred thirty
24:03
one point four billion dollars, accounting for slightly more than one third of the
24:07
overall global fast food market, following the US, Great Britain, France,
24:12
Sweden, and Austria. The study found that the developed country with the least
24:18
interest in fast food is Germany. All right, that'll do it for this
24:26
Wednesday edition. Of the show. Thanks to our sponsors, our patrons.
