Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:05
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Friday morning, twenty ninth day of May. I'm Wes, thanks
0:13
Speaker 2: for joining me. I gotta tell you, I owe you
0:18
Speaker 2: an apology. I think to some degree at least that
0:25
Speaker 2: yesterday was I guess a National Hamburger Day or something,
0:30
Speaker 2: and I missed that completely. I was focused on other things.
0:35
Speaker 2: And I know that for a show like this that
0:37
Speaker 2: you know, like the reason we don't really do weather
0:39
Speaker 2: updates is because you really can't, you know, stay up today.
0:48
Speaker 2: If you're listening a little behind, you miss out on
0:51
Speaker 2: something because of the fact that you know it's not
0:56
Speaker 2: if you're not listening the same day. And I'd love
0:57
Speaker 2: you to listen to the same day every day, that
0:59
Speaker 2: would be great, but sometimes you may be listened a
1:02
Speaker 2: few days later and a weather report doesn't mean anything.
1:04
Speaker 2: You know, we kind of hit on the big events
1:07
Speaker 2: and something like finding out that yesterday was National Hamburger Day.
1:12
Speaker 2: It doesn't really benefit you now, really, because yesterday there
1:18
Speaker 2: were some deals on hamburgers at different places, and again
1:21
Speaker 2: this is on me. I didn't find out about it
1:22
Speaker 2: until yesterday when I realized, wait a minute, one particular
1:29
Speaker 2: restaurant chain, Steak and Shake, they were doing if you
1:31
Speaker 2: come in to the restaurant and you're wearing something with
1:35
Speaker 2: an American flag on it, you got a free burger.
1:40
Speaker 2: So sorry, I didn't offer that information up yesterday. I
1:45
Speaker 2: found out yesterday just in time for my boys and
1:49
Speaker 2: I to put on shirts with American flags on them
1:51
Speaker 2: and go get a free burger. My bad. I'll try
1:54
Speaker 2: to be on top of this next year. Just remember
1:58
Speaker 2: next year, I guess it'll be again the twenty eighth
2:01
Speaker 2: of May. I'll try to stay on top of it.
2:03
Speaker 2: I'll try to remember it coming out of Memorial Day
2:06
Speaker 2: because we talk about hot dogs every year and sausages
2:10
Speaker 2: and grilling and all that stuff at the beginning of
2:12
Speaker 2: the week. But in this case, just missed on the
2:16
Speaker 2: burger thing. I'm sorry. I apologize. I try to stay
2:21
Speaker 2: on top of that stuff. So before we get into
2:25
Speaker 2: the strange and bizarre news from around the world, just
2:30
Speaker 2: a reaction thing, a couple of things that we're seeing
2:32
Speaker 2: a little bit because we have learned now that Jill Biden,
2:40
Speaker 2: the former First Lady, had a negative reaction or a
2:45
Speaker 2: scared reaction, I guess is the right thing and negative,
2:49
Speaker 2: not in a she was being negative since, but a
2:52
Speaker 2: less than positive reaction to the performance of Joe Biden,
2:59
Speaker 2: her husband then president, who in the debate that you know,
3:03
Speaker 2: had the horrible performance from a debate standpoint, I think,
3:09
Speaker 2: right on par performance for someone who has cognition problems,
3:13
Speaker 2: and they had been trying to cover it up and
3:15
Speaker 2: hide it. And now she's been talking about the fact
3:19
Speaker 2: that it was a scary moment and how it was
3:21
Speaker 2: hard to watch, and how she thought maybe he was
3:23
Speaker 2: having a stroke and things like that. And there's some
3:28
Speaker 2: folks on the left that are kind of coming out
3:29
Speaker 2: and saying, you know, going after her for that and
3:33
Speaker 2: going after basically the way Democrats handled things right after.
3:37
Speaker 2: You know, they waited a long time before they asked
3:41
Speaker 2: him to get off the ticket, or he eventually got
3:43
Speaker 2: off the ticket. They were asking for him to do it.
3:48
Speaker 2: Some were asking right away, but I think it was
3:50
Speaker 2: the people who were trying to be opportunistic and jump
3:54
Speaker 2: in and get on the ticket, but some you know,
3:58
Speaker 2: took a while to come around on it. They eventually
4:00
Speaker 2: came around on it. But if you remember, right after
4:03
Speaker 2: the debate, Jill Biden was telling you what a great job.
4:05
Speaker 2: He did, like she was talking to a kid who
4:08
Speaker 2: had just played the Sun in a school play about
4:11
Speaker 2: the solar system. That's sorry, that was flashback to my
4:16
Speaker 2: kindergarten days. I played the Sun. I got the lead role.
4:19
Speaker 1: Man.
4:20
Speaker 2: When you get to play the star, you know, the
4:23
Speaker 2: star of the show, you get it anyway. So a
4:27
Speaker 2: lot of people are being critical of that, and they
4:29
Speaker 2: should be. Absolutely, they should be critical of that. It
4:34
Speaker 2: is Friday, and it is time for some positive news
4:39
Speaker 2: before we jump into the strange and bizarre news. And
4:43
Speaker 2: this is kind of a sweet story. This is in
4:46
Speaker 2: Massachusetts at Oldborough Masterset Capron Park. Zoo is the name
4:54
Speaker 2: of this place, and I guess that's how they pronounced
4:55
Speaker 2: it up there. I don't know. I don't. I can't.
4:57
Speaker 2: That's not one of my accents. I can do well.
5:00
Speaker 2: I could work on it. I haven't been working on it.
5:03
Speaker 2: But the zoo facing financial troubles and it almost had
5:07
Speaker 2: to close its gates forever. Everyone involved with keeping the
5:11
Speaker 2: zoo rolling recently had spirits boosted a bit. A young
5:14
Speaker 2: supporter stepped in. Her name is Anne Marie, and she
5:19
Speaker 2: decided to help out. She'd been saving up her allowance
5:23
Speaker 2: for months in a jar, and at the moment her
5:27
Speaker 2: mom told her that the animals were in trouble, she
5:29
Speaker 2: went over and wanted to give the zoo keepers her
5:34
Speaker 2: money one hundred and one dollars with a sweet handwritten
5:37
Speaker 2: note that read Deer Capern Park Zoo. I've been saving
5:41
Speaker 2: money for months in this jar. I wanted to give
5:43
Speaker 2: it to a good cause, but I had no idea
5:45
Speaker 2: what When my mom told me you were running out
5:47
Speaker 2: of money, I knew exactly who I wanted to give
5:49
Speaker 2: it to you. I hope that my gift of one
5:53
Speaker 2: hundred one dollars helps keep you open for years to come.
5:57
Speaker 2: Might not be that much, but I hope it will
5:59
Speaker 2: be enough to help. Good luck with any and all
6:02
Speaker 2: future endeavors and accomplishments. Did it say how old she was,
6:07
Speaker 2: I'm trying to I don't think it had her age.
6:11
Speaker 2: Future endeavors and accomplishments is impressive, you know if she's
6:14
Speaker 2: a kid. You know she's a teenager. Maybe not so much,
6:18
Speaker 2: but anyway. The city did step in with emergency funds
6:24
Speaker 2: to keep the gates open at least through next year.
6:27
Speaker 2: The staff posted a massive thank you to Anne Marie
6:30
Speaker 2: on Facebook. Saying her incredible kindness is the ultimate reminder
6:34
Speaker 2: of why communities need to keep fighting for its animals.
6:38
Speaker 2: Nicely done, Anne Marie. I like it. Good parenting going
6:41
Speaker 2: on there, and good helping with that endeavors and at
6:47
Speaker 2: exactly endeavors and accomplishments. Sounds like one of those dismissal things,
6:51
Speaker 2: those emails that come out in a company. We wish
6:54
Speaker 2: them well in their future endeavors. They're no longer going
6:57
Speaker 2: to be here anymore if you didn't if you and
7:00
Speaker 2: miss us escorting them out of the building as a
7:02
Speaker 2: formality with deputy sheriffs. We just want you to know
7:06
Speaker 2: we wish them well in their future endeavors, as long
7:08
Speaker 2: as they didn't take any of our stuff. So you know,
7:13
Speaker 2: all right, this is a different kid, all right, different kid,
7:17
Speaker 2: different situation. But I wanted to acknowledge a couple of kids.
7:20
Speaker 2: This girl we know her age twelve, her name Ava Johnson, Wichita, Kansas,
7:27
Speaker 2: collected a donation of five thousand socks, underwear, and other
7:32
Speaker 2: daily essentials to give to a local foster children place
7:37
Speaker 2: through a charity group called Ember Hope. Ava, who was
7:41
Speaker 2: adopted in twenty sixteen, started her annual socks and undies
7:45
Speaker 2: drive four years ago after remembering how her own family
7:49
Speaker 2: constantly had had to go to the store for basic
7:52
Speaker 2: clothing items when her mother was licensed as a foster parent.
7:55
Speaker 2: What began as a tiny operation out of a parking
7:58
Speaker 2: lot has exploded into a mass of community event, complete
8:01
Speaker 2: with a brunch event that brought out crowds of supportive neighbors.
8:05
Speaker 2: Ava's dedication has now raised more than thirty thousand essential
8:09
Speaker 2: items over the years, making sure foster kids never have
8:13
Speaker 2: to go without basic clothes that often get overlooked. The
8:17
Speaker 2: service mission even earn her the official title of Princess
8:20
Speaker 2: of America Junior Ambassador last month. She has no plans
8:25
Speaker 2: of slowing down, Ava says after seeing how her efforts
8:28
Speaker 2: impacted the lives of thousands of kids. She's dedicating to
8:32
Speaker 2: keeping things rolling and looking for new ways to help
8:36
Speaker 2: others feel comfortable, especially when they are dealing with big
8:40
Speaker 2: life changes. A couple of kids making a difference. All right,
8:46
Speaker 2: let's get to some strange and bizarre stuff. Let's get
8:48
Speaker 2: to the snark. I think starting Florida good place to
8:53
Speaker 2: start a Florida chiro chiro practic clinic. Telling you it's
9:00
Speaker 2: not always easy. I've had a couple of these this week.
9:02
Speaker 2: A Florida chiropractic clinic there we Go, known for pun
9:06
Speaker 2: filled roadside signs as making news after one joke went
9:11
Speaker 2: too far, at least for one person. For years, the
9:14
Speaker 2: clinic and Palm Harbor has used humor like we never
9:19
Speaker 2: crack under pressure, We won't stop till everyone's cracking up
9:24
Speaker 2: to get attention of drivers going by. But its most
9:26
Speaker 2: recent sign triggered one person. The license the sign read
9:32
Speaker 2: licensed crack dealer, gave away the punchline. There, police say
9:37
Speaker 2: twenty three year old Benjamin Frae Gold didn't get the joke.
9:41
Speaker 2: He allegedly smashed the sign with bricks and a branch,
9:44
Speaker 2: telling arriving officers he thought the message was illegal and
9:48
Speaker 2: he was just being a concerned citizen. But wasn't really
9:53
Speaker 2: a joke to authorities because the damage caused more than
9:57
Speaker 2: one thousand dollars in total, landed him in jail on
10:01
Speaker 2: a felony criminal mischief charge. So things get a little
10:06
Speaker 2: out of hand. You gotta make the joke obvious. It
10:09
Speaker 2: should be obvious. I like the sign licensed crack dealer.
10:13
Speaker 2: Come on. Police in Nebraska say that A woman was
10:17
Speaker 2: injured in a bizarre accident outside a convenience store when
10:21
Speaker 2: a dog accidentally fired a shotgun. Now this is a story.
10:27
Speaker 2: The incident happened in Scott's Bluff last weekend. Authority say
10:32
Speaker 2: that a man had parked his truck and went inside
10:36
Speaker 2: the store, leaving a dog in the back seat. The
10:39
Speaker 2: animal moved around somehow pulled the trigger on a loaded
10:42
Speaker 2: shotgun inside the vehicle. The gun discharged through the truck's door,
10:47
Speaker 2: and a pellet struck a woman who was stopped at
10:50
Speaker 2: a nearby traffic light with her arm resting out the window.
10:54
Speaker 2: She was taken to the hospital with non life threatening injuries.
10:57
Speaker 2: Police say the case remains under investigation, and they're using
11:01
Speaker 2: it as a reminder that it's illegal and dangerous to
11:04
Speaker 2: have a loaded shotgun inside a vehicle. Things that you
11:08
Speaker 2: don't think that you really should have to tell people
11:12
Speaker 2: like this should be common sense kind of stuff. Shouldn't
11:14
Speaker 2: it no loaded guns in your vehicle? Not shotguns at least?
11:24
Speaker 2: And does it not have a safety What are we
11:26
Speaker 2: doing exactly? A mayor in Peru faces backlash after a
11:32
Speaker 2: bizarre stunt involving a police taser. Carlos Bruce, who leads
11:37
Speaker 2: the district of Cerco, was caught on video firing the
11:41
Speaker 2: stun gun at his own advisor to see how it works.
11:46
Speaker 2: The advisor, Arturo Babio, appears to brace himself before being hit.
11:52
Speaker 2: The convolutions started, and then he collapsed as thou of
12:00
Speaker 2: volts passed through his body. It's not funny. The clip
12:03
Speaker 2: went viral, prompting criticism and questions about safety and judgment,
12:06
Speaker 2: especially since the city had just introduced hasers as a
12:11
Speaker 2: means of deterring from their security teams. The mayor says
12:16
Speaker 2: that the footage was taken out of context and insists
12:19
Speaker 2: that the adviser volunteered. Called it a controlled demonstration with
12:25
Speaker 2: no real danger, but the incident certainly under scrutiny, many
12:28
Speaker 2: comparing it to a reckless stunt rather than a professional test.
12:34
Speaker 2: I think there's a better way to do a professional
12:37
Speaker 2: test than just coming in and firing at an advisor.
12:42
Speaker 2: A twenty three year old New Hampshire man is under
12:45
Speaker 2: arrest after police say that he falsely reported someone stole
12:48
Speaker 2: his car and crashed it. Officers responded to the crash,
12:51
Speaker 2: but the driver had fled the scene on foot. A
12:55
Speaker 2: canine unit was called in to track down the driver
12:58
Speaker 2: turned out to be the same man who earlier reported
13:01
Speaker 2: the car stolen. The guy was arrested and was held
13:04
Speaker 2: without bail because he was already out on bail for
13:08
Speaker 2: a previous case. So without bail because that's already failed once. Interesting.
13:18
Speaker 2: That's the kind of thing that happens here now, isn't it. Hey,
13:23
Speaker 2: this is a great story, and I know Jill will
13:25
Speaker 2: love it because some of our favorite memories while visiting
13:29
Speaker 2: her lovely country involve tree frogs. A shopper at a
13:35
Speaker 2: supermarket in Australia, the story says, nearly croaked, but I've
13:42
Speaker 2: already told you frog. So when he bought his groceries,
13:46
Speaker 2: took him home, found a bag of lettuce that he
13:48
Speaker 2: had purchased contained a live frog looks like a tree
13:50
Speaker 2: frog in the picture. The frog, which was about the
13:54
Speaker 2: size of his palm, may have traveled a great distance
13:57
Speaker 2: with the produce, as the lettuce came from a distritader
14:00
Speaker 2: hundreds of miles away. The man freed the frog, that
14:07
Speaker 2: he named Greg from the bag, brought up to a
14:09
Speaker 2: nearby damn what was released along with the lettuce. He
14:15
Speaker 2: wanted the frog to have something to eat and feel
14:17
Speaker 2: at home, so he let it have its lettuce. I
14:19
Speaker 2: guess the supermarket investigating how the frog got into the bag,
14:27
Speaker 2: trying to see if I can make out which story
14:31
Speaker 2: was like a wool Worsts. I think it might be
14:32
Speaker 2: a wool Worst bag. Uh, maybe hard to tell there, Yeah, Woolworths. Yeah. Sorry,
14:40
Speaker 2: I just got curious because I'm looking at the packaging
14:43
Speaker 2: and I can see it's a Wooli's bag. So interesting.
14:47
Speaker 2: I mean maybe they were doing a promotion where you
14:49
Speaker 2: get a free frog, buy some lettuce, get a free frog.
14:53
Speaker 2: A thirty five year I'm just wondering how it was
14:55
Speaker 2: still alive in there, Like how long can it live
14:58
Speaker 2: in that bag? Anyway? A thirty five year old Florida
15:03
Speaker 2: man was arrested after deputies say that he assaulted a
15:07
Speaker 2: sixty nine year old wedding officiant during a dispute over
15:10
Speaker 2: the cost of a beach ceremony. Authority say the incident
15:13
Speaker 2: happened in Port Orange after the ceremony ended. Investigators say
15:19
Speaker 2: the man became angry about the price, started shouting insults,
15:23
Speaker 2: and allegedly struck the officiant while he was calling nine
15:26
Speaker 2: one one. The victim was hit in the stomach and
15:30
Speaker 2: had trouble catching his breath. I guess while he was
15:32
Speaker 2: making the call. The suspect also allegedly made threats before
15:36
Speaker 2: driving away. Deputies later stopped his vehicle took him into custody.
15:41
Speaker 2: He faces a charge of battery on a person over
15:43
Speaker 2: sixty five. Yeah, that's no joke. Officials say he denied
15:48
Speaker 2: the assault but admitted to the argument. The man has
15:50
Speaker 2: a prior record that includes assault related offenses. He was
15:55
Speaker 2: released after posting a five thousand dollars bondue back in
15:58
Speaker 2: court mid June. Punching somebody over the age of sixty five,
16:05
Speaker 2: that makes it a whole different charge there. These kind
16:08
Speaker 2: of things are usually worked out before the ceremony, like
16:11
Speaker 2: this should have been very clear before the ceremony exactly
16:17
Speaker 2: what was expected financially. Today's show brought to you by

Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
18:38
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
18:41
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
18:44
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
18:47
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
18:49
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
18:53
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
18:56
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes
19:00
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
19:03
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
19:06
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
19:09
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
19:12
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
19:15
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
19:17
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
19:20
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
19:22
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
19:24
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
19:27

Speaker 2: after the break, Well, there's a new trend where people,
19:58
Speaker 2: especially younger people, are, We're growing parties to celebrate cosmetic procedures,
20:05
Speaker 2: augmentations various kinds, especially things done in pairs. If you
20:12
Speaker 2: catch my drift, those jobs would be something not done
20:15
Speaker 2: in pairs, but again something else that would be an
20:20
Speaker 2: augmentation that people are celebrating instead of being private about it.
20:24
Speaker 2: They're turning it into a full on moment with friends, decorations,
20:30
Speaker 2: who knows who dis kind of thing reflecting how normalized
20:35
Speaker 2: plastic surgery has become, especially on social media, where people
20:39
Speaker 2: are more open about enhancements, even proud to show them off.
20:45
Speaker 2: That's a different website. I think for some it's about empowerment,
20:49
Speaker 2: celebrating a choice they made for themselves, but not everyone
20:52
Speaker 2: that thinks it's a good thing. Critics say it could
20:54
Speaker 2: glamorize surgery and create pressure for others to change their
20:59
Speaker 2: appearance just keep up. Either way, it's a sign of
21:02
Speaker 2: how much attitudes about beauty and self image are shifting.
21:06
Speaker 2: A couple sides to this, just my thoughts on this.
21:09
Speaker 2: First of all, if you do that, good for you,
21:11
Speaker 2: and if you want to have a party for it,
21:13
Speaker 2: good for you. The social media part of it is
21:16
Speaker 2: the thing that could be challenging, because I do think
21:19
Speaker 2: if you start pushing this as an idea, then it
21:22
Speaker 2: could be something that could make other people feel pressure
21:25
Speaker 2: to do it if they would not have normally done it.
21:27
Speaker 2: If they're not getting to the conclusion on their own,
21:32
Speaker 2: you follow me, like, if they're not just getting there
21:34
Speaker 2: but they're feeling pressure to get there. That's where this
21:37
Speaker 2: could become another one of those potential dangers of social media.
21:42
Speaker 2: There's many things that can ruin a cruise sea sickness.
21:46
Speaker 2: Some of these I would above sea sickness just general.
21:51
Speaker 2: I would put these viruses that have popped up here,
21:57
Speaker 2: neurovirus or haunt of IRUs whatever, and then of course overeating.
22:04
Speaker 2: You could do a buffet thing. It's hard to just
22:07
Speaker 2: especially it's like this is included as part of your experience.
22:10
Speaker 2: Go nuts, but apparently burning your feet could be on
22:16
Speaker 2: the list. Carnival Cruise Line passenger is suing Carnival Cruise
22:22
Speaker 2: after he says that he suffered severe burns on the
22:24
Speaker 2: ship's pool deck. According to the lawsuit filed in Florida,
22:28
Speaker 2: Jorge Luis Alaverio Nunez, I feel like I'm at graduation again,
22:36
Speaker 2: reading like four names. He claims he got second degree
22:39
Speaker 2: burns on his feet while walking barefoot between a pool
22:42
Speaker 2: deck and the chairs or the pool and deck chairs,
22:47
Speaker 2: I should say, on the Carnival Magic Ship. He alleges
22:51
Speaker 2: that the deck's surface was dangerously hot and there were
22:55
Speaker 2: no warning signs. The suit also claims that Carnival had
22:57
Speaker 2: prior knowledge of similar incidents side it dozens of complaints
23:02
Speaker 2: and earlier warnings about the deck material overheating. Nunyez is
23:06
Speaker 2: seeking more than five million dollars in damages, accusing the
23:09
Speaker 2: company of negligence and reckless disregard for passenger safety. Carnival
23:14
Speaker 2: has not come in these kind of lawsuits. If you
23:17
Speaker 2: can show proof that they knew this was a problem
23:21
Speaker 2: and then they did nothing about it, and that's when
23:24
Speaker 2: you might have something. This may sound a little silly,
23:26
Speaker 2: but I mean, the amount seems a bit much, But
23:30
Speaker 2: we'll see how that all plays out. But it's an
23:33
Speaker 2: interesting thing there because being able to say you knew
23:37
Speaker 2: about it and you didn't do anything about it, and
23:39
Speaker 2: they seem to have some evidence of that. So do
23:43
Speaker 2: you eat the same lunch every day? Does it make
23:46
Speaker 2: you boring? Researchers say that you're actually onto something that
23:49
Speaker 2: eating the same lunch every day can be a smart move,
23:52
Speaker 2: especially if you're trying to eat healthier or simplify your routine.
23:57
Speaker 2: The big idea is that it cuts down on decision fatigue,
24:01
Speaker 2: so you're not wasting time or energy figuring out what
24:04
Speaker 2: you want to eat every day. I guess it's kind
24:07
Speaker 2: of like dressing, you know, Steve Jobs, wearing the same
24:10
Speaker 2: thing every day, that kind of thing. Matt Locke. Experts
24:15
Speaker 2: say that having a go to healthy lunch can help
24:18
Speaker 2: you control portions, stay consistent with calories, even support weight
24:22
Speaker 2: loss over time. Basically, when you remove the guess work,
24:25
Speaker 2: it's easier to stick to good habits. The trick though,
24:28
Speaker 2: is it's got to be healthy and you got to
24:30
Speaker 2: be getting some kind of nutrition out of it if
24:32
Speaker 2: you're going to be doing it every single day. Again,
24:35
Speaker 2: no expert, just offering that up. If you're a cigarette
24:38
Speaker 2: smoker planning to go to Sweden, you should bring your
24:42
Speaker 2: own cigarettes, and I think you have to do all
24:44
Speaker 2: that through customs, right because you're gonna have a hard
24:47
Speaker 2: time getting them there. They're the first country in Europe
24:51
Speaker 2: or the European Union, I guess, technically to be officially
24:54
Speaker 2: classified as smoke free. A new report shows fewer than
24:57
Speaker 2: five percent of Swedes and now smoke cigaret trees, which
25:01
Speaker 2: earned it the smoke free classification. It's a sharp drop
25:05
Speaker 2: from about sixteen percent in the early two thousands. Public
25:08
Speaker 2: health efforts like higher tobacco taxes, smoking bands, and quit
25:13
Speaker 2: support programs credited with driving that decline. The twist, though,
25:18
Speaker 2: is it nicotine use hasn't gone away. Many people have
25:20
Speaker 2: switched to smokeless tobacco products considered less harmful than cigarettes.
25:24
Speaker 2: So it's not that you're going to have a hard
25:25
Speaker 2: time maybe buying them. It probably fewer places, I guess,
25:30
Speaker 2: but just the fact that you're not really going to
25:32
Speaker 2: be able to, you know, bum one. I guess that
25:35
Speaker 2: would be. I don't know how that works in other countries.
25:38
Speaker 2: Is that a typical thing that you know we do
25:41
Speaker 2: here in the States, just bumming a cigarette? The people
25:44
Speaker 2: do that all around the world. I would think some
25:47
Speaker 2: cultures would be like, no, go get your own cigarettes.
25:50
Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Friday edition of the show.
