  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Monday morning at seventeenth day of August. I'm Wes, thanks
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: for joining me. Gonna get to our topic today in
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: just a minute. I wanted to just throw something out
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: there that's a little bit of food for thought. And
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I have seen this issue pop up a number of times,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: and I've addressed it a few times for varying reasons.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: It's come up in the past to the point where
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: some of you have messaged me on social media or
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I've gotten text from some of my friends that listen
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: that have kind of poked at me about this topic
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: and the fact that I bring it up, and I
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: just want to talk about another aspect of it that
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: continues to rear its head. And I just think as
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the topic starts to become a little bit more heated
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: on social media, then I think it's worth at least
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: having the conversation, you know, I think people should be
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: talking about it now. I won't get involved in it
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: on social media because I think that's pointless. I think
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: arguing on the internet is ridiculous. There was a time
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: when I would have done it, but I have no
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: use for it at all. I also don't have time
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: for those topic starter messages that you see where people
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: are like, hey, what's everybody doing this week?
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Is?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I understand it? You know, I worked as digital content
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: director for a really large media company for most of
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: the state of Georgia for a long time. I get it,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and it was something that we were encouraged to do
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and I understand. But people doing it on their personal accounts,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I don't understand what what the goal is. I guess
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: they see on many of these social media accounts that
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: everybody's now considered a content creator, so they're trying to
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: drive up their numbers so that they can make money
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: off of it. And that's fine. I just think it's silly,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you know, where it's just like, what's what's uh, what's
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: everybody got going on this evening? What's well, who's who's
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: heading out to a restaurant tonight? What's your favorite? You
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: know that kind of stuff. I get it. I understand
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: why they do it. But anyway, this other thing probably
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: falls into that as well. But it it's root is
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: this conversation that's being had and some of you are
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: going to laugh when I just say the word but
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: it's about tipping.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: It came up partly because we had people coming from
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: all around the world for the World Cup into the States,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: and you know, most of the world doesn't tip. They
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: don't nothing like what we do. They think it's weird.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: They don't understand, and they just say, hey, just you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: tell us what it costs. We'll pay for it if
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: we want to come there, and if we don't, you know,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: we'll go somewhere else where we can afford it. And
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: then you move the money around to your employees, as
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: you should do that based on, you know, how much
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: of a good job they do for you. That's the
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: way it's viewed around the world. Here, we had this
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: thing where, you know, you go back to the days
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: of Mayberry and you put a nickel or a quarter
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: on the table, and it's like, oh my goodness. Now
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: it's a different amount of money back in the Mayburry era.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: But now that we are in a time where if
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: your tip does not meet an increasing percentage, and it
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: seems to be going up now every couple of months
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: of what the expectation is for tipping, and people just
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: are going to get on social media and complain about it,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: they're going to have these giant conversation topics that get
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: started on it. I think I'm in that group of
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: people that just thinks it's ridiculous that we're having this
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: conversation out out in the open. I think if I
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: was an employer and I and I had a staff
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: that worked on tips, and they were doing this and
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: embarrassing the place where I worked, I would I would
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: want to deal with that employee. Not necessarily fire them,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: but I would. You know, in some cases, maybe you do,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: especially if they're calling out the person that you know
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: didn't leave a forty percent tip on their bill, when
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: that's never been the expect Thirty percent has never been
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the expectation. But that's what people are starting to say
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: now thirty forty, and we're getting more and more of this.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: If you can't afford to leave a thirty percent tip,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: then why are you even eating out? Well, I think
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the people that own the restaurants would like people to
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: keep eating out, that's the first thing. And we are
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: in this society now where we're constantly being bombarded no
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: matter what you do. I was at a place kind
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: of recently and I paid for what we were buying
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: and it was like we were picking up something. I
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: want to say it was ice cream. I don't really remember,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: but it might have been ice cream for the boys something,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: and the person just kind of said, you're going to
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: get the thing about the tip, don't worry about it,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: just hit no and move on. And I appreciated that,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: especially considering this wasn't like the manager, this was just
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: an employee there and they were just addressing that it
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: was silly that it was even on there, and you know,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: that almost makes you want to leave them a tip.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's the strategy, but I'm not
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: a big I'm going up. I'm just ordering it a
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: counter and you know, they flipping around and asked for
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: a tip, and it's all automatic. I've talked about it here.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I know a big part of that is because those
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: machines are being put in by credit card companies. Credit
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: card companies take three to four or five percent whatever
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: it is. I think it's about three maybe four percent
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: of what comes out of that. So if you leave
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: a tip, they're going to get their percentage of that
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: because that's what's being built on your card. So of
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: course that's a way for them to make more money.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: So when we get frustrated and angry at the restaurant
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: or the ice cream shop or whatever it is that
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: has that on there, just no, they probably aren't the
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: reason that it's on there. It's probably something that's just
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: automatically installed. They just assume everybody wants it. But I
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: guess one of the things that started to come up
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: again because I just recently have seen a number of
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: comments about people upset about door Dash, those kind of companies,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Uber Eats, and people saying that the tips aren't enough.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: There should be higher tips. You bought one hundred dollars
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: worth of food and you only gave a twenty dollars
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: tip or a ten dollar tip, and it should have
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: been more than that, And a number of people asking
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: what should be the obvious question, which is this idea
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: that tips are based on a percentage of what you spend.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I've never understood that, even as a kid, I never
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: understood that. I don't get it. You go to a restaurant. Now,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, I play by the rules. I
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: understand the rules. I'm not going to be socially shamed
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: or I'm not going to be forced by someone sitting
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: there to tip more than what I've always tipped, the
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: percentages that I've tipped. I just think it's silly when
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: someone's expecting thirty or forty percent on a bill, it's
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: that's absurd. But people think that they can bully you
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: into doing it on social media. That's the issue, and
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I've just honestly, I don't. I play by the game
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: because that's what we do. But I don't understand if
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I am going to leave a tip at a restaurant,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to spend, you know, twenty dollars at
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the restaurant, and then I'm gonna leave a tip and
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: it's twenty percent, which has kind of been the normal
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: until people have just hijacked it and said, no, thirty
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: forty percent is the normal. But if you're gonna have
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: a twenty dollars bill at a restaurant and you're gonna
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: tip twenty percent, or you're gonna have a you know,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: you order food that's you know, a steak, you order
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: something that costs twice as much, I don't understand why
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the tip is twice as much. I don't understand. I don't.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I don't understand why just because the quality of the food,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: or the source of the food, the origin of the food.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: It's no different on the weight staff. The weight staff
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: doesn't have to go back and season your steak or
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: marinate your chicken or whatever. That's not what they're doing.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: They're putting in the order, they're bringing out your food.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I don't understand that. Nobody's been able to explain that.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I've had people say, well, it takes longer for some food,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: and then you're taking up the table more all of
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. But if you're given a standard amount,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I don't understand why that should fluctuate based on how
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: much the bill is. Now, obviously, if you've got ten
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: people at your table, then yes they're taking more orders
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: and there should be a certain amount for each person.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: But one person goes in orders a ten dollars meal
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: versus ordering a fifty dollars meal. I don't understand why
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: those two tips are different. I just don't understand that. Now,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: when it comes to uber eats, I really don't understand that.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I don't get it. I just don't you know. When
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: we talk or door dash or whatever, I don't understand
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: why there's an expectation if you're gonna give a tip whatever.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: This I don't even I've never used those services. I
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: don't know. I live in a town where it's easy
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: just to drive and pick it up, and I've not
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: been in a circumstance, and I know some people can't.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: And I get it. I think it's great that it's
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: available for people. But I don't understand. You order a
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: twenty dollars or thirty dollars or forty dollars whatever, and
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: they go pick it up and they bring it to you,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: and yes, there's an expectation of some sort of gratuity,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: but if you order two hundred dollars worth of food,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: they're gonna still pick up the bag like there's an
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: exact same number of minutes and this process. So I
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: don't understand why. But that's that's a conversation that people
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: are having, well, that people should be tipping more. Anyway,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I'm never going to get the answer that's gonna make
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: any sense and either of those questions, so I'll move on. Hey,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: did you see Jasmine Crockett is going after Democrats? The
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: former or the Texas congresswoman, but former candidate for soon
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: to be I guess former congresswoman has uh and she
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: tried to go she was trying to run for governor,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: right and uh, no, she was was a governor. Yeah,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: and uh. She's basically saying that her party, the Democrats,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: are spending too much time focusing on white voters and
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: that they need to spend more time on on black voters.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: And she thinks that that is a significant problem that
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: they have right now. And she went on to say
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: basically like they're going to struggle in a number of races. No,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: she rant for a candidate for Senate. That's right, because sherinning,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: it's tall Rico. And that's that's getting to the point
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: of this criticism that she's laid out, because she's criticizing
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: James tall Rico, and she's saying that Democrats are spending
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: too much time focusing on white people and that this
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: is going to burn tall Rico's chances to be a senator.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: And she I think she's been talked about running for governor.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: I think that's where I got that from. But anyway,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: not that she has a shot. She didn't have a
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: real shot at this Senate nomination. But anyway, she's saying
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: that because they're the Democrats, I guess in Texas, they're
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: not tapping into the needs of black voters, and that's
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: why it will hurt tall Rico.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: The fact that tall Rico is an absolute fraud and
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: phony in a number of different ways, especially when it
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: comes with his version of what Christianity is and what
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: religion is. But that's another issue. I'm just curious, like
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: why in twenty twenty six we are still so hyper
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: focused on race when it comes to what the party's
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: focus is now. She also doesn't understand history either, because
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: she says that the Democrats have and the Democrats have
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: always held it down for black people from since the beginning.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know how like a history book would be
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: helpful if we want to really get into the Democrats
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: and the beginning, if we really want to focus on
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: like the beginning for black people in America, she should
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: look into the Democrats, and she should. I know, we
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: have this whole thing that people have purported over the
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: years about this huge like flipped like one day, like
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: a switch was flipped and all the Democrats became Republicans
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: and all the Republicans became Democrats. And that's not how
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: things went down. That's not it at all. It's hard
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: to find like accurate rundowns over what happened. I can
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: just tell you, like it's a lot of it started
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: with Martin Luther king you can you can do homework.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: That's a good place to go for homework on all
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: of it, and in Alabama. But if we're really gonna
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: dig into you know who's been holding it down for
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: who for the longest, I don't. I don't know that
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: she really but it doesn't surprise me. I don't think
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: she's wrong though in some ways, because one of the
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: polling things in the last over the past four years
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: even has been that a lot of Black Americans feel
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: like they've been pushed aside for the illegal immigrants that
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: have come in the country. And I think that's a
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: fair it's an understandable outcome. How about that. It's not
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: for me to say if it's fair or not. I
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: think it's an understandable outcome for the polling, because yes,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: there have been a number of situations where it does
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: feel that way. It does feel that way. It does
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: feel like we've got you locked in so we don't
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: have to focus on you. You're gonna vote for us
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: no matter what historically that's an accurate strategy for them
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: to have. Sadly, that's true, seems to be true. Sadly,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: things that have been going on with Jewish Americans like
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: it's there's sort of this thing that's happening again where
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: it's like, you know, we're gonna we're gonna try to
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: appease the pro palacetine contingency. We're going to try to
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: appease the the Democratic Socialists, the Communists, We're going to
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: go in their direction, even though they hate the Jewish
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Americans because we know they're going to vote Democrat anyway.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know how confident the party should be that
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: either one of those things is going to continue to
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: happen moving forward, which is part of what I think
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: she's kind of saying, maybe even kind of threatening. I
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know exactly what she's saying. She's
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: definitely bitter that she lost to tall Rico and that
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: he is, you know, somebody they're putting a lot of
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: money behind. They think that this guy has a chance
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: in Texas. I don't know. I don't know if he
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: does or not. I hope people of Texas understand the
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: difference between James tall Rico and the person that he's
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: pretending to be and clearly who the person he's pretending
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: to be versus who the people of Texas are. But
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: it's weird. On one hand, I think she may have
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: a point, because that's what the numbers have shown, at
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: least with polling. On the other hand, I just don't
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: know the strategy, the continual strategy in focusing on issues
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: based on race, focusing on issues based on certain groups
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: of people, and it does seem one party focuses on
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: that more than the other. And I don't know that
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Democrats are going to make this change that she's expecting.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Maybe a bit of a refocus. I don't know, but
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I can tell you this, if suddenly the candidate becomes
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: John oss Off, I definitely think there may be I'm
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: shifting again when it comes to who votes are gonna
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: head for for a lot of Black Americans, because I
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: don't think that's gonna be the guy. I think that's
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: another James Talerico for them. I don't know that's necessarily
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: somebody that they're gonna want to get behind. Get ready
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: for Dragon Con forty. It's the fortieth Dragon Con and
• 18:24

  Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to

  Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what

  Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a

  Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,

  Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd

  Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.

• 23:14
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help. And they do
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: after the break, Well, this is interesting. One of the
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: trending smells, the sense the fragrances of summer of twenty
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: twenty six. It would probably catch you off guard a bit.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: It caught me off guard. I can kind of understand
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: the reasoning behind it once it was explained. But apparently
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: the smell of coal la is the trend that's where
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: things are. Beauty experts say that soda inspired perfumes are
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: taking off with sense that combine fizzy cola notes with
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: hints of citrus, caramel, and spice, and the appeal behind
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: it is nostalgia, people associating cola with road trips, movie nights,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: summer memories. It's the latest in a growing wave of
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: food inspired fragrances. Tomato, banana, milk, salt scented perfumes. So
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: smelling like coke is officially a thing. Yeah, and it
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: is a distinct smell. And I mean, yeah, I don't
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: know that I've ever tried to smell the difference between
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: like coke or pepsi or RC or youths, but or
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: even doctor Pepper has a different smell. Doctor Pepper really
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: stands out, and I suppose there is a difference. I've
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: never really I've never taken the Pepsi smell challenge or whatever.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: So but the cola thing I get and there is
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: a distinct smell to it. So it looks like a
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: younger workers gen Z in particular, bringing pen and paper
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: back to the workplace. Obviously, smartphones, apps, screens, AI all
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: those things are, you know, very prominent in the workplace,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: but it looks like younger workers are starting to embrace
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: old school tools like notebook, sticky notes, handwritten to do lists.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I you know, I have to use a computer for
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: this job. That's a big part of this job, many
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: aspects of what I do. However, I do still have
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: a notebook and clipboard nearby handy and I make a
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: lot of notes on it. There's a lot of things
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: that I mean small changes. I'm a creature of slow change,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: and I just never got away from some of those things.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: I always felt like the notebook was the way to go. Yes,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: a calendar in my phone, certainly taking out my phone
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: to do research or look for things. Obviously my computer.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: But I got to say, I'm glad to know that
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: the notebooks aren't just going away completely. However, when you're
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: trying to share information and it's in a notebook, that's
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: where it starts to get complicated. But apparently it's about
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: focus and it helps you remember things better, and you
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: kind of can break away from emails and notifications and chats.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Some like leaving post it notes for coworkers instead of
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: sending texts. That involves, you know, having a like and
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: it's good you force yourself to get up and maybe
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: walk to someone's office and leave a post it note.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that's that's all really good suggestions for a
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: stronger your marriage. Researchers say that taking a walk together
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: is a big step. Study done out of BYU found
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: that couples who exercise together tend to communicate better, resolve
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: conflicts more effectively, and experience less marital stress than couples
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: who don't share physical activity. Researchers analyze data from about
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: seventeen hundred married couples and found that while any excuse excuse,
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: any exercise is beneficial, although excuses are good when you're
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: trying to resolve marital conflict. So the researchers found that
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: while any exercise has benefit, working out as a team
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: held the strongest relationship benefits. The biggest improvement was in communication,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: which experts say may happen because shared activities create more
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: opportunities to talk, connect and support each other. So, whether
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: it's a walk after dinner, a hike, trip to the gym,
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: exercising together could be good for your health as well
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: as your relationship. Jill and I like to do that.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: We take daily walks together and it's nice and sometimes
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: and the dog is a motivator too to kind of
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: get us moving because he needs his walks. So yeah,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: that's a I think that's some very valuable information, very
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: valuable things. Pass on.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Monday edition of the show.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
