• 0:06
  Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Thursday morning, fifth day of December. I'm Wes, thanks for
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: joining me. Tomorrow is day one of our Nutcracker one run.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: The show tomorrow is for school groups only, So if
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: you have a kid who's going to the Nutcracker tomorrow morning,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: that'll be the show we're talking about. It's usually a
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: packed house. We have a good time putting the show
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: on for the school kids. It's kind of our kickoff.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Now tonight we will have a dress rehearsal run.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Everyone is in full dress but.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Me for the rehearsal for tonight, I am in my
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: normal wardrobe. Just don't do makeup until I have to
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: do makeup. Women who wear a lot of makeup, and
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about a lot, I mean any makeup, I
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: guess you get used to the applying it and removing it.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: My wife is very much someone who wears minimal makeup.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: She does wear it. She wears minimal makeup, and I
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: think partly because one she doesn't need it. She looks amazing.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: She looks amazing all the time with or without it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: But she yeah, sometimes she listens.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: She might hear this. She just might.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: But I think partly because of the removal process. And
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I have an understanding now of the people who have
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the significant amount of makeup. And what I wear, of course,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: is you know, like a full pancake makeup. It's and
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I have glitter in my beard. It's all by design.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I have two this year. I have two fantastic makeup artists.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: And it's my makeup artist from the last two years.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: My friend Sarah who did it two years ago, my
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: friend Jana who did it last year. They're teaming up
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: to cover it over the next a couple of days.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: But I don't have to do it tonight, but everybody
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: else is in I guess full dress rehearsal for tonight.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I'll be in the dress. You know.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: My role involves me in a very large dress. I mean,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I guess it's a hoop dress, even though it's really
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: sort of pill shaped. It's not even an oval, it's
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: pill shaped. But it fits as many as thirteen kids
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: in there. We did that once this year. It's just eight,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: just eight, just eight children walking underneath the dress while
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I come out on stage. Just eight, No dangers at all.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Last year we only had four and one of them
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: almost knocked me down during the Sunday show. So tonight
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: is a dress rehearsal. So it's a show for us,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: just not you know, there's gonna be like eight people
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: in the audience. Then tomorrow morning will be the school
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: show when we put on the show for it. Like
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I said, if you've got a kid who's going to
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: the Nutcracker for the school show, this is the show
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: in question. The one tomorrow and then tomorrow evening is
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: a full dress rehearsal. And because I'll be in makeup
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: tomorrow morning, I will also be in makeup all day
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: because I don't take it off. Back to the aforementioned
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: you ladies that wear a lot of makeup and have
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: to take it off every day, God bless you. I
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: have an appreciation for all of that now more than
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I ever have in my life. And this is my
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: sixth year doing this, and every time the makeup goes on,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: which by the way, is a sixty to ninety minute process,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: it's like, you know, like they're turning me into the
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: elephant man or something. It's I think maybe I'm starting.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: An elephant man. And they're making me look better.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: But my point is it's a lot to get all
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: that stuff off. It's a lot, and you know, God
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: bless you for doing it.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: If you're you know, there's women who put on a
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: lot of makeup. They just do it.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I think about I've heard Dolly Parton interviewed before, and
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: she says, not that she's I mean, it's not so
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: much how much she wears. She just points out that
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: if she's going to go to the mailbox, she's going
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: to be in makeup, She's going to be dressed up.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: She feels like if someone sees her, they should see
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: her at her best and what they're expecting to see
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: of her. So that's someone who you know, she does
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: it every day, I assume unless she knows she's just
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: going to be at home with no visitors. I don't
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: know how many days you have that when you're Dolly.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know these days you just are able to
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: chill at the house. I feel like she's just out there.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Didn't you just write a cookbook with her sister? So
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I'll have it on all day tomorrow. So if you
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: see me tomorrow anytime between, I don't know, like eight am.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Whatever time the makeup goes on. The show I think
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: is at ten thirty, so we don't have to start
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: the makeup till closer to nine, but anywhere between maybe
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: eight thirty, and.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: You know, through tomorrow evening. I'll have it on.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Famously, I go and pick my kids up from school
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: in the makeup. I do wear sunglasses when I'm at
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the pickup in the car, I don't get out of
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the car.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: I just kind of lay low for the pickups.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: And the kids that are in the show that go
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: to school with my kids and they see me, they'll wave,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: they laugh, they like to see that I'm you know,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: still rocking the makeup. And then my kids are just
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: used to it, you know, they don't even get embarrassed anymore.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: They just roll their eyes, get in the car and
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: we leave.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: So that will be my day all day, and makeup
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: tomorrow once it goes on in the morning, and then
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I'll take it off tomorrow evening and then Saturday it's
• 6:15

  Speaker 2: needs to I don't know. We don't have those guys,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: but they do have ticket brokers that buy them and
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: jack up the prices. I went yesterday to the doctor,
• 6:58

  Speaker 2: got some big news in his life.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I'm excited for him. So we're looking forward to seeing
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: him maybe at the shows this weekend. He and his.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Bride, all right, so is expecting bride at that Let's
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: dive into Rivercenter dot org. Get your tickets there, all right.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about the economy. I've been talking
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to people over the course of the years. I have
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: met a number of people who work in a sort
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: of big ticket. I myself, when I was in high school,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: started a job where I worked in retail. I worked
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: in a grocery store. My first job was in a
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: grocery store. My second job was in a different grocery store.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: The first one wasn't giving me enough hours, and I
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: wanted to buy a car that I wanted to pay
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: for myself with my money. So those were my first
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: two jobs, and then I started to work at radio
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: came soon after that. I did radio and TV, and
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: then I did some other jobs in retail because my
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: original radio jobs. Back then, you got into radio you
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: had to work, you know, part time. My first gigs
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: in radio involved you know, like washing the van and
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: making sure it was filled up with gas. Now, a
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: lot of people get started in radio and it's just hey,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: you're the afternoon guy, go get them no experience, you know,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: you just get thrown into the shark infested waters here,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: go figure it out. And part of my job over
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the years was to help train those people who were
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: terrified because they don't know what to do.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: They're like, how do I do that? And I'm like,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: we'll get you through this.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: First show, and then it'll get easier once you get
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: through the first one. So and that's been beneficial to
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: me onward because I, you know, have done that with
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: a number of people over the years. So I understand
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: first of all, the way retail works from that side
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: of it. But working in radio, we would do a
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: lot of live broadcasts at car lots or at places
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: that sell big ticket items, maybe places that sell four
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: wheelers or places that sell you the toys for big
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: boys kind of things. And so I know several of
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: those people, and I can tell you that since election day,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: starting even the day after election Day, there's a different
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: attitude about their business, their business model, their customers, their clientele.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: They're already seeing people coming in ready to spend money,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: a little bit more money than maybe they would have
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: spent otherwise. We had the results of this election led
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: to optimism when it comes to buying. There are people
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: that are saying, you know what, things are going to
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: get better next year, and I'm okay to spend a
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: little money now. Now some people aren't spending cash, they're
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: using credit cards, we've seen that increase over the last
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: three years, three to four, well five years, really go
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: back to COVID, but it started to happen during COVID
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: and all of the bounce back post COVID was supposed
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: to be, Hey, we're going to get back to life,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: but we know that's not what happened. We didn't have
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: a president coming out of COVID who wanted things to
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: be better for everyone. We had a president who wanted
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: things to be better for green policies. That was the
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: goal from the beginning. How do you know, how do
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: we get over to battery operated vehicles? How do we
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: push through green agendas? Call it whatever you want to
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: call it. You want to call it inflation reduction, that's fine.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: It didn't reduce inflation. Eventually they got the number down,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: the percentage numbered down. It's still not as low as
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: it was when Biden took office, but that doesn't mean
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: that the cost of everything went back down. Now that
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: we're going back to the president we had before him,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: who had inflation down below two percent, people are optimistic again.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: There's positive feelings and according to reports, they're expecting record sales.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: We had a record Black Friday sales. We had record
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: cyber Monday sales. There's a lot of optimism and positivity
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: when it comes to the economy. People are ready to
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: spend money again and they're hopeful that they're going to
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: be able to do that. This has led to some
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: snark from the left as the report comes out that yes,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: record numbers of sales have happened already and more expected
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: and people are going.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: To spend for Christmas this year.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: And the X account for the Democratic Ways and Means
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Committee just couldn't hold it back and took a shot
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: at the Americans who are struggling to buy groceries and
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: have been struggling to buy groceries, and that was a
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: key issue in this election. They messaged on X tweeted,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: if you will, for lack of a better term, come
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: up with a better term. Yet they xed and we
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: thought y'all couldn't afford eggs. That tweet was taken down
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: very soon after, but it just goes to the point
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: they still don't understand, They still don't understand why they
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: lost and lost big, I mean a resounding loss. They
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: still don't understand, they don't understand that there are still
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: people struggling, and yes, while people are going to spend
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: big this year, they're going to spend big on credit
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: with the promise that it's going to get better.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: There's hope.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: We haven't had hope in a while. We haven't had that.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Maybe there was some hope coming out of COVID. There
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: were people on the left that thought, well, old Joe,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: he's our old buddy, he's going to make things better.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: He did not make things better. He made things worse.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Or whoever is pulling the strings. I was just talking
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: to someone earlier this week about remember when that was
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: like a conspiracy theory, when you would talk about the
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: deep state running things and the president's not really in charge.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Now that's just accepted as fact. And I was like, yeah, yeah,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: and it's been the case.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: For a while.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: And our previous president and future president is one of
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: the ones who said, I'm not going to run it
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: that way. People didn't elect my wife to run cabinet meetings.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: They elected me to do it.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: They didn't elect the shadow people to run things. They
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: elected me to do it. So when people are telling
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: me what to do, I'm going to say no, no,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: let me do what I was elected to do. So
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: there's hope, there's optimism. There's people ready to buy toys
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: for big boys. There's people ready to buy automobiles. They're
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: ready to start spending money, They're ready to travel. We
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: have somewhere in our future a new vehicle and a
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: trip overseas that we're working out because again, we did
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: it during the last administration. Has it been so easy
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: to do during this administration post COVID trying to recover
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: from COVID. We never got our chance to bounce back
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: from it, and I think a lot of people now
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: feel like maybe in this next four years, we're going
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: to finally get our chance to really and truly bounce back.
• 15:27

  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor, but indoor. You know, if you like
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: you just want a little man caved. You'd like to
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thory five eight forty five

  Speaker 2: after the break well, you may have seen the Fisher
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Price Little People special editions that they've done over the years.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: They've done I guess the Office, cast of Friends, cast
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: of Seinfeld. Now they have created a very special Little
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: People Collector set that features Britney Spears. She tweeted this week,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I feel so lucky they're celebrating my birthday with Little
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: People collect her and it's totally born to make you happy.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Available December eighth, only at Target and then it says
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: twenty five dollars collector set of miniature dolls dressed like
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Brittany and her iconic music videos. They're not quite the same.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: They're similar, they're not exactly the same. I mean, that's
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: probably a good idea considering I realize nobody's probably buying
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: these specifically for kids, but it does look like a
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: kid's toy. I don't know how many small kids would
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: be excited about. They might like a Taylor Swift toy.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: You know, people are getting them started early on Taylor Swift.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: But it says the they've got the Fisher Price duplicated
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: their flight attendant uniform for her toxic music video and
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: then outfits from Slave for You Baby one more time. Oops,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I did it again. Yeah, there's one of her holding
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: a big snake. That's not it's not exactly the same
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: as you know, the look from the snake, but it's
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: similar enough that you get it. The snake is the
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: important thing. No plans to make one of her with
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: the knives whatever that weird video was, I don't know.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know exactly we ever find out what the
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: deal was with the knives. But all right, so we're
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: not the only ones who overeat during the holidays. Our
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: pets do the same. A survey found seventy percent of
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: dog owners admit their dog gets more table scraps during
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: the holidays than any other time of the year. The
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: most likely person to feed the dog under the table
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: mom just saying it's most likely to be Now, I'm
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: going to be clear here, my bride does not necessarily
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: feed our dog from the table. She's most likely to
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: sneak him an extra little treat out of his treat
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: treat container, but not from the table. That probably goes
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: to Luke, who's dropping it by accident. He's not intentionally
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: feeding the dog, but it ends up happening, all right,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: So none of us are going to live forever. Our
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: lives have an expiration date. There's an app called the
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Death Clock claims to know exactly when.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Your death date is.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: The Death Clock claims to use artificial intelligence to pinpoint
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: the exact date that your time on Earth will run out.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: The app costs forty dollars and asks for your personal
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: details like your diet, exercise habits, sleep schedule, stress levels.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Once AI computes your data and correlates it with data
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: from over twelve hundred life expectancy studies on the Internet.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: It will determine your date of death. After that, you
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: will be provided with a fond farewell death card and
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: a countdown timer that ticks down to your last second.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I think even if I wanted to know, which I don't,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't want to know what the death
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: clock thinks. I ain't paying forty dollars for it. I mean,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: if it was going to tell me, you know, you're
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: going to go in the next twenty days, maybe I'd
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: put on a credit card. But that's about it. That's
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: the I'm not. You know, you put on credit and
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: then you don't have to pay for it. If that's
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: how that works. Many of us need a large cup
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: of coffee you get through the day. But how about
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: this celebrity chefs social media star Nick di Giovanni recently
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: teamed up with Duncan to create the world's largest iced latte.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: The two hundred and seventy six gallon caffeinated blend of milk, espresso,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: and ice, which filled up an eleven foot high plastic cup,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: was officially recognized by Guinness World Records as the largest
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: iced latte. The coffee drink was then poured into smaller
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: cups and served to three hundred employees at Duncan's corporate
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: headquarters in Massachusetts. I don't know what would the Death
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Clock say about that. That seems like a lot of caffeine.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: It seems like much.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe that's probably not a good idea, especially
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: not if you're buying the Death Clock Countdown. That'll do
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: it for this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks to
