Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:11
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, nineteenth day of November. I'm Wes. Thanks for
0:16
Speaker 2: joining me. If I'm doing my math correctly. We're a
0:21
Speaker 2: little over a week from Thanksgiving, and I think I'm
0:25
Speaker 2: doing my math correctly. It's coming up fast. It is
0:30
Speaker 2: coming up.
0:31
Speaker 3: Very very fast. Hope you're ready.
0:34
Speaker 2: Hope you've done your due diligence in preparation. I went
0:39
Speaker 2: actually to a couple of stores yesterday and I saw
0:42
Speaker 2: they still had some you know, Thanksgiving themed merchandise mark
0:47
Speaker 2: down like seventy seventy five percent off and things like that.
0:50
Speaker 2: So just a heads up if you're in the market
0:52
Speaker 2: for some of those last minute decorations, and I know
0:56
Speaker 2: you'll have a quick opportunity to get them up for
0:58
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving maybe or at least prepare for next year. I
1:01
Speaker 2: don't know what your schedule is. I know this is
1:03
Speaker 2: a big point of controversy for some the people who
1:07
Speaker 2: just have to tell everybody else how to live.
1:09
Speaker 3: I think that's what it is. I get it.
1:12
Speaker 2: I know people want to give each holiday it's due,
1:14
Speaker 2: and they want to say, well, you have your Halloween stuff,
1:17
Speaker 2: and then you have your Thanksgiving stuff, and then you
1:21
Speaker 2: have your Christmas stuff. But because Thanksgiving is so late
1:25
Speaker 2: in the month, and it's you know, it's around the
1:28
Speaker 2: same time. But this is one of those we're getting
1:31
Speaker 2: towards the end of the month, right, and it's there's
1:36
Speaker 2: not a lot of time. You're not even getting a
1:38
Speaker 2: whole month in between the two. And I know, I guess,
1:41
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes that's how it goes. But for people
1:44
Speaker 2: that have decorated or want to decorate, and I saw
1:46
Speaker 2: a few people out decorating yesterday. Well I was, you know,
1:50
Speaker 2: walking the dog in the neighborhood, and you know, a
1:52
Speaker 2: few people were actively decorating for Christmas.
1:56
Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with that. Let them do it.
1:58
Speaker 2: You know, what's the only expression, It costs nothing to
2:01
Speaker 2: mind your business. It costs nothing at all to do that.
2:06
Speaker 2: Michelle Obama has spoken another controversial interview.
2:12
Speaker 3: I guess I don't.
2:13
Speaker 2: Know she's doing these she's doing these interviews, and she's
2:17
Speaker 2: saying things that aren't sounding like good sound bites for
2:24
Speaker 2: her or really anybody associated with her. We'll get to
2:28
Speaker 2: that in just a second. First, I want to talk
2:30
Speaker 2: about cozy earthancozyerth dot com, luxurious betting and bathrobes. I mean,

Speaker 2: your body when comfortable, and all those things. That's something
3:04
Speaker 2: that people are picky about which hotels they stay in
3:07

Speaker 2: as well feel nice cozyearth dot com. All right, let's
4:52
Speaker 2: talk about Michelle Obama, because she's done an interview where
4:56
Speaker 2: she says America is just not ready to elect a
4:59
Speaker 2: woman present not ready.
5:02
Speaker 3: That's why it hasn't happened yet.
5:04
Speaker 2: And it's and she says, you know, maybe maybe she
5:09
Speaker 2: should run or something to that effect.
5:12
Speaker 3: I don't really know what.
5:14
Speaker 2: The appeal is of, like the recruiting pool of let's
5:20
Speaker 2: get a first let's get a former first lady to
5:22
Speaker 2: run for president.
5:23
Speaker 3: I've expressed that here.
5:25
Speaker 2: I think that's a strange thing to do, and that's
5:28
Speaker 2: a very like historically, that's a very like. That's that's
5:34
Speaker 2: something that's very new on the scene. Right, You got
5:38
Speaker 2: to go back, you get a first lady from the
5:40
Speaker 2: mid nineties, and then you go with the nineties and
5:44
Speaker 2: mid nineties, and then you go, well, maybe that would
5:46
Speaker 2: be a good president. I don't know, because she went
5:49
Speaker 2: on TV a few times, Hillary did and said, you know,
5:52
Speaker 2: we're the president, referring to her and Bill Clinton.
5:57
Speaker 3: Side note.
5:58
Speaker 2: Things are getting interesting with the Epstein stuff, but we'll
6:01
Speaker 2: talk more about that as time goes on. As things
6:05
Speaker 2: get more interesting. Just by coincidence. I just felt something
6:08
Speaker 2: about saying the names Bill and Hillary Clinton and Epstein
6:12
Speaker 2: just feels like it just it was just a reminder
6:16
Speaker 2: there's an association there. It's like looking at the uh,
6:20
Speaker 2: you know, at the ink blots at the at the
6:25
Speaker 2: the ink blot tests.
6:26
Speaker 3: It's just you. That's what you get, right.
6:29
Speaker 2: So, and then Barack Obama and people Michelle should run,
6:34
Speaker 2: and then people she's well liked.
6:36
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't.
6:37
Speaker 2: I think that that iron is no longer as hot
6:39
Speaker 2: as maybe it had been at one point. But anyway,
6:45
Speaker 2: it's a weird place to go to to say we're
6:46
Speaker 2: gonna have to pull a former first lady to run
6:48
Speaker 2: for president, and that would be the salvation of a party.
6:51
Speaker 2: That's a weird thing. Think about how absurd that is.
6:56
Speaker 2: Think about if Democrats were solely in charge, that things
7:00
Speaker 2: just humming right along, and then just I don't know
7:04
Speaker 2: where somebody went, Hey, and of course when she was
7:06
Speaker 2: still alive, but somebody went, Barbara Bush should be president?
7:09
Speaker 3: What?
7:11
Speaker 2: Why?
7:11
Speaker 3: Why would that be? That doesn't make what? What why.
7:16
Speaker 2: Laura Bush should be president of the United States? And
7:19
Speaker 2: what are we basing this on? What is the has
7:23
Speaker 2: she expressed like interest in it is that because that
7:28
Speaker 2: had not been the case with Michelle Obaum. By the way,
7:30
Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton of course wanted it. That's we we all know.
7:34
Speaker 2: You know, you got a cheating husband, you got a
7:38
Speaker 2: you got a husband getting impeached for lying about cheating
7:41
Speaker 2: because he got caught. And then he's got all these
7:43
Speaker 2: accusers and you know whatever, this Epstein thing is going
7:47
Speaker 2: to keep filing out for us. But she stuck with
7:51
Speaker 2: him because she thought, well, I could be the first
7:54
Speaker 2: lady that runs for president.
7:55
Speaker 3: I guess. I mean, I don't.
7:56
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly what she was thinking. I don't
7:58
Speaker 2: want to know what's going on in her head or
8:00
Speaker 2: or especially not his head. I don't want to know
8:03
Speaker 2: any of that. I don't want to see the things
8:05
Speaker 2: he's seen. I don't I don't want to know. I
8:08
Speaker 2: don't want to know that at all. But I really
8:10
Speaker 2: don't want to know hers either. I mean, if I
8:12
Speaker 2: had to choose one or the other, I think it
8:14
Speaker 2: would be hers, because he's you know, back to the
8:17
Speaker 2: Epstein stuff. But anyway, my point is it's a strange
8:21
Speaker 2: thing to do to begin with. And I think a
8:24
Speaker 2: lot of people have said, you know, bring her in
8:27
Speaker 2: off the bench and she could save things.
8:30
Speaker 3: It's and when.
8:31
Speaker 2: People go like, you know Oprah, why what do we
8:35
Speaker 2: may we do know a little more about Oprah because
8:37
Speaker 2: she was on TV every day and she used to
8:39
Speaker 2: do those like you know, Mary Povich kind of shows,
8:42
Speaker 2: you know, You're not the Father, like those kind of things.
8:46
Speaker 2: She did a lot of those before she decided, you know,
8:48
Speaker 2: these are some of my favorite things. So Michelle Obama says,
8:53
Speaker 2: we're just not ready for a woman president. That's the
8:56
Speaker 2: reason that we have we didn't elect one of the
8:59
Speaker 2: two that were nominated that we're not ready for it yet.
9:04
Speaker 2: And I don't know what that's based on. I don't
9:05
Speaker 2: know what her thinking is based on.
9:07
Speaker 3: I don't know any of that.
9:08
Speaker 2: I just know that I think if you're really going
9:11
Speaker 2: to come out and say we would like to elect
9:15
Speaker 2: someone to be president, that is now checking a box.
9:21
Speaker 2: You know, someone who is going to be something different,
9:25
Speaker 2: something unique, something that will stand out, something that will
9:29
Speaker 2: be you know, revolutionary, and a woman president would be
9:34
Speaker 2: who would do that. I think the candidate needs to
9:37
Speaker 2: be the right candidate for that.
9:40
Speaker 3: That's that's it. That's it.
9:41
Speaker 2: In a nutshell, you can't just force someone in there
9:45
Speaker 2: and say this is the option we're going to give you,
9:48
Speaker 2: and we're going to tell you you have to vote
9:50
Speaker 2: for them, whether you want to or not. We're going
9:53
Speaker 2: to do this to you, and we're not going to
9:55
Speaker 2: listen to what you have to say about it. Keep
9:57
Speaker 2: in mind a lot of controversy she when I almost
10:01
Speaker 2: said controversial, but a lot of controversy when Hillary Clinton was,
10:08
Speaker 2: you know, running for the nomination, and there were times
10:13
Speaker 2: when it seemed like, wait a minute, Bernie Sanders should
10:17
Speaker 2: be winning, you know, some of these states and getting
10:20
Speaker 2: these votes, and they weren't going to let him.
10:24
Speaker 3: They weren't going to do it. Now.
10:25
Speaker 2: Granted, a socialist running for president then certainly wouldn't have
10:32
Speaker 2: been a good idea for the party. The fact that
10:34
Speaker 2: they acknowledged it, but that's who a lot of people
10:37
Speaker 2: were wanting to see be the nominee and it wasn't
10:41
Speaker 2: going to happen because the Democrat Party said, no, we're
10:44
Speaker 2: going to make it Hillary Clinton. They ignored some of
10:47
Speaker 2: the voters. I don't know what the actual outcome would
10:50
Speaker 2: have been if they had just trusted the voters to
10:52
Speaker 2: do their thing, but they didn't. They handed the nomination
10:56
Speaker 2: to her, and she lost to Donald Trump, someone that
10:59
Speaker 2: she and others all wanted her to run against because
11:03
Speaker 2: they thought there's no way he can win. We can
11:05
Speaker 2: help him get the nomination, and he can't possibly win,
11:09
Speaker 2: and then he did so. Jump ahead. Second time, Trump's
11:15
Speaker 2: running against a woman. The reason he ran against Kamala
11:19
Speaker 2: Harris was because, first of all, she was not picked
11:22
Speaker 2: to be the vice president because she was so successful
11:27
Speaker 2: as a candidate herself. She ran against Joe Biden for
11:29
Speaker 2: the nomination.
11:30
Speaker 3: She was a very.
11:33
Speaker 2: Poorly received candidate. She dropped out almost immediately, said terrible
11:38
Speaker 2: things about Joe Biden. And then when they decided that
11:42
Speaker 2: he was going to get the nomination and is someone
11:45
Speaker 2: on his team said VP is going to be a
11:48
Speaker 2: black woman.
11:49
Speaker 3: We're not going to vet and.
11:51
Speaker 2: Decide who the best possible candidate.
11:54
Speaker 3: Is for the VP.
11:55
Speaker 2: We're just telling you upfront, we're going to find a
11:57
Speaker 2: black woman that checks two boxes for us in this case,
12:01
Speaker 2: and we're going that's who we're gonna pick. That's what
12:03
Speaker 2: we want to do, and we're going to do it.
12:05
Speaker 2: And they found her and they said, all right, well
12:07
Speaker 2: there you go. So then while he's running for president
12:13
Speaker 2: and has this horrible debate performance that his own son
12:20
Speaker 2: said that they were just running him ragged and forcing
12:22
Speaker 2: him to take ambient and all these things. Why maybe
12:27
Speaker 2: so the auto pen could do things while he was
12:29
Speaker 2: asleeper watching Matt Locke or whatever. And they just decided
12:35
Speaker 2: that she was going to be the candidate. They bypassed
12:38
Speaker 2: any sort of primary, and they just said, this is
12:41
Speaker 2: going to be the candidate. No one ever voted for
12:46
Speaker 2: her to be the nominee for the left, for the Democrats.
12:50
Speaker 2: They just kind of pushed her up there, said here
12:53
Speaker 2: you go, you're going to be the candidate. She was
12:55
Speaker 2: a terrible candidate for president to begin with. When she
12:58
Speaker 2: was running in the primary, she was a terrible We
13:02
Speaker 2: could go through her whole California resume, but she was
13:06
Speaker 2: a terrible candidate for president without winning a primary. They
13:10
Speaker 2: just gave her the nomination. And anybody is sitting around
13:14
Speaker 2: scratching their head saying, well, wait a minute, why can't
13:18
Speaker 2: a woman win the presidency? And it's because they didn't
13:22
Speaker 2: really I don't know that they really won their primaries.
13:25
Speaker 2: We know she did, and she didn't have a primary.
13:27
Speaker 2: I mean, she did have a primary and lost miserably Hillary.
13:33
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the left's fight, but a lot of
13:35
Speaker 2: questions about whether or not it should have been Bernie Sanders.
13:39
Speaker 2: So let's start with that. Let's get a candidate that
13:42
Speaker 2: is one that the American people want to be the candidate.
13:45
Speaker 2: That's the first thing, that's the most important thing. And
13:50
Speaker 2: these are the same people, by the way, that said
13:52
Speaker 2: Republicans were going to be the end of democracy. The
13:56
Speaker 2: same people who tried to get Trump off of ballots
13:59
Speaker 2: by just throwing bogus charges at him and you know,
14:04
Speaker 2: changing a misdemeanor to a felony because it was out
14:08
Speaker 2: of the Statute to Limitations, and also because it sounds
14:12
Speaker 2: better to say he's a felon and then we're gonna
14:14
Speaker 2: get him off ballots and then he can't run for president.
14:17
Speaker 2: And I've shared the story before. I have friends who
14:19
Speaker 2: told me I don't even care if they do it,
14:22
Speaker 2: just as long as.
14:22
Speaker 3: He can't run again.
14:24
Speaker 2: That's horrible. That's your threat to democracy. This is their pattern.
14:29
Speaker 2: This is what they do. They figure out a way
14:33
Speaker 2: to eliminate the possibility of the people that they don't
14:36
Speaker 2: want so that they can ultimately have an influence over
14:40
Speaker 2: who they do want to win. That's your threat to democracy.
14:46
Speaker 2: So is it about women? Is this about we're trying
14:51
Speaker 2: to prevent, you know, another candidate from getting in there
14:55
Speaker 2: so that we can get the woman candidate we want,
14:57
Speaker 2: because maybe we can make people guilty you should vote
15:02
Speaker 2: for a woman just because because we're telling you to.
15:05
Speaker 2: And then they don't do it, and then they say,
15:06
Speaker 2: I don't understand why it didn't do it. Well, no
15:09
Speaker 2: one chose them to be the candidate really in the
15:12
Speaker 2: first place, especially not Kamala I mean, no one chose that.
15:16
Speaker 2: Maybe Hillary, I don't know you hear both sides of
15:19
Speaker 2: that argument. I'm pretty sure Bernie Sanders should have at
15:22
Speaker 2: least had a better show. I think maybe if right
15:25
Speaker 2: out of the gate he'd gotten a fair shake, maybe
15:28
Speaker 2: he could have been the candidate.
15:29
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have wanted it. I think things turned out
15:32
Speaker 3: alright as is.
15:34
Speaker 2: Well. We're in uncertain times, and it always feels like
15:38
Speaker 2: even more uncertain times are just a heartbeat away, and

Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
17:55
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
17:59
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
18:04
Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
18:08
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
18:11
Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows
18:16
Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
18:19
Speaker 2: Where you can get outside, sometimes you do it at
18:22
Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
18:26
Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
18:28
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events.
18:32
Speaker 2: Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean
18:36
Speaker 2: Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just
18:41
Speaker 2: remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science
18:44
Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
18:49
Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
18:52
Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
18:58
Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
19:01
Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
19:05
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
19:09
Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
19:11
Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
19:14
Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
19:16
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
19:20
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
19:22
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
19:24
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
19:28
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
19:32
Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got. With colder or
19:35
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
19:39
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
19:41
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
19:45
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
19:47
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
19:51
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
19:53
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
19:56
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
19:57
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. Do that for you
20:00
Speaker 2: as well, And again they do after hours calls. There's
20:03
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
20:06
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
20:09
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
20:12
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred
20:15
Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O

20:20
Speaker 3: Com more West Carol Morning Show.
20:22
Speaker 2: Right after the break, well, did you miss out on
20:34
Speaker 2: the Starbucks Barista cups? You know, a little Teddy bear
20:39
Speaker 2: looking cup that I don't know. The story is they
20:42
Speaker 2: had these things available to customers. People were lining up
20:47
Speaker 2: four am to get them, and then suddenly they sold
20:50
Speaker 2: out immediately and started appearing online with people selling them
20:55
Speaker 2: with a high markup, and there were some accusations at
20:57
Speaker 2: employees were responsible for them. Some of the Starbucks employees
21:01
Speaker 2: had been taking them and buying them and reselling them
21:04
Speaker 2: or whatever. So there's a lot of controversy surrounding these things. Well,
21:09
Speaker 2: and I mean thousands to buy them on you know,
21:13
Speaker 2: a bidding site like eBay. So apparently the folks at
21:19
Speaker 2: Walmart now have you covered as they have stepped up
21:22
Speaker 2: with their own bear cups. Basically, it's mimicking the original design.
21:29
Speaker 2: No Starbucks logo, But would you want a Starbucks logo
21:32
Speaker 2: on it? If Starbucks may have had their employees buying
21:34
Speaker 2: them and reselling them, I wouldn't. It's not absolutely not.
21:39
Speaker 2: I don't think it has any logo on it. It
21:41
Speaker 2: doesn't look like it. It holds twenty ouncers features. The
21:44
Speaker 2: beanie costs about twenty two dollars. That's about eight dollars
21:47
Speaker 2: less than the og Starbucks one that was you know,
21:52
Speaker 2: grabbed up and then has been getting resold for thousands.
21:56
Speaker 2: And they're available even online, so you don't even have
21:59
Speaker 2: to stand out side and wait on it and line
22:01
Speaker 2: up for it. You get an opportunity to grab one
22:04
Speaker 2: via the old via the old fashioned internet, So that's
22:07
Speaker 2: pretty good.
22:07
Speaker 3: You can do that.
22:09
Speaker 2: Or you know, you could take advantage of the thing
22:10
Speaker 2: where you have the employees at Walmart do the shopping
22:13
Speaker 2: for you. You know, that's still something that's stuck around
22:16
Speaker 2: since COVID, so that's apparently an option for you as well.
22:21
Speaker 3: How about this new thing. It's called the potato bed.
22:25
Speaker 2: It's supposed to be something that I guess it kind
22:30
Speaker 2: of falls into the couch potato thing. I don't know,
22:32
Speaker 2: but it's about basically tucking yourself into bed like a
22:38
Speaker 2: baked potato. You take a fitted sheet upside and you
22:41
Speaker 2: flip it upside down. You stuff the edges with pillows
22:43
Speaker 2: and blankets, fill it to the center with more blankets
22:47
Speaker 2: and a comforter or in anything else that feels nice
22:49
Speaker 2: and cozy, just a giant nest, and then you get
22:52
Speaker 2: inside it and people say it's like being hugged and
22:56
Speaker 2: it helps you relax and sleep better, similar similar to
22:59
Speaker 2: that of a weighted blanket, without having the expense to
23:01
Speaker 2: go with it. And it's caught on sleep expert doctor
23:06
Speaker 2: William Lu says, I'm not surprised it's catching on. People
23:09
Speaker 2: are craving comfort, calm, and security right now, and the
23:13
Speaker 2: potato bed taps into all of that. It looks playful,
23:16
Speaker 2: but it's about recreating that snug, safe feeling associated with
23:20
Speaker 2: deep breast. When your body feels secure and your mind
23:22
Speaker 2: feels safe, it's easier to drift off and stay asleep.
23:26
Speaker 2: This according to doctor Lou, it was a long quote
23:29
Speaker 2: and basically doctor Lu says, though be careful. You don't
23:32
Speaker 2: want to overheat, and all those extra layers, pillows, things
23:36
Speaker 2: could cause some back and neck pain over time, and
23:40
Speaker 2: says if you wake up feeling sore and sweaty, that's
23:42
Speaker 2: you're signed to scale it back. So, you know, building
23:47
Speaker 2: ing volesque, I guess, but it doesn't sound like a
23:50
Speaker 2: terrible thing. Actually, if it brings you comfort, if it
23:54
Speaker 2: brings you security, you might be in good shape. There
23:58
Speaker 2: also on the subjects of sleep, folks that are struggling
24:00
Speaker 2: to relax before bed. Dark showering is a thing and
24:03
Speaker 2: it started to sweep through social media. The idea is
24:07
Speaker 2: you take a warm shower for about fifteen minutes in
24:10
Speaker 2: a very low light or even darkness. And they say
24:15
Speaker 2: using a night light might help you not slip and
24:18
Speaker 2: fall in the shower. And it says, unlike a bright,
24:21
Speaker 2: energizing morning shower, which is meant to wake you up,
24:24
Speaker 2: a dark shower helps your body wind down. Makes sense,
24:28
Speaker 2: I guess I've been. And then of course you have
24:31
Speaker 2: to follow all of the rules and things that come
24:33
Speaker 2: with you know, not getting on your phone once you finish,
24:37
Speaker 2: and all those sorts of things, things that will help
24:38
Speaker 2: you wind things down and not things that will get
24:40
Speaker 2: you amped back up again. So I'm a big fan
24:45
Speaker 2: of showering in the dark anyway. I mean, if you
24:47
Speaker 2: can just turn on the fan, you know, to suck
24:51
Speaker 2: the humidity out in the steam, I'm good with that.
24:55
Speaker 2: I just I don't there's no reason to have light
24:58
Speaker 2: on in the bathroom for me when I'm showering. I mean,
25:02
Speaker 2: I know what I'm doing now. I understand the slipping possibilities,
25:07
Speaker 2: but I got a pretty good idea of you know,
25:12
Speaker 2: the dimensions of my shower. I know where things are.
25:14
Speaker 2: I'm good to go. Grandma food is having a moment,
25:20
Speaker 2: except according to some of the experts, they say, don't
25:24
Speaker 2: be shocked if you see some jello molds on the
25:26
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving table. This year, gelatin dishes having a moment thanks
25:30
Speaker 2: to social media. New Generation has revived the trend with
25:33
Speaker 2: home cook sharing recipes for jello salads full of marshmallows
25:37
Speaker 2: and fruit, as well as savory gelatine creations packed with tomato,
25:41
Speaker 2: crab meat, clams, and I like crab, I don't know
25:50
Speaker 2: about it in jello. I'm on a clam guy period,
25:53
Speaker 2: So that's really and then olives and other things finishes
25:58
Speaker 2: out the round table of disgusting for jello salads.
26:01
Speaker 3: But don't be shocked if you see.
26:04
Speaker 2: Some of them popping up. There's a possibility that you're
26:10
Speaker 2: going to see some of that at Thanksgiving.
26:11
Speaker 3: So be prepared.
26:12
Speaker 2: Brace yourself for saying no thanks, I don't want any
26:16
Speaker 2: clam and crab jello.
26:18
Speaker 3: I'll be good to get.
26:19
Speaker 2: So. I know a lot of people who like to
26:21
Speaker 2: shop online, but they don't necessarily like to support the
26:25
Speaker 2: big corporate box stores online. I know it's not really
26:30
Speaker 2: box stores, but the online shopping can be a little
26:33
Speaker 2: bit tricky, and some folks are just done with some
26:37
Speaker 2: of the bad customer service or bad experiences that they've
26:40
Speaker 2: had with shopping with some of those online retailers. Well,
26:44
