- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews you need.
- 0:05Speaker 2: To start your day.
- 0:07Speaker 1: You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, tenth day of June. I'm Wes, thanks for
- 0:14Speaker 2: joining me as we boy the popcorn for the Trump
- 0:22Speaker 2: and Musk thing. It's been pop a lot of it, pop,
- 0:26Speaker 2: a little less of it, pop more of it. And
- 0:29Speaker 2: now I don't know where we're at with it, but
- 0:32Speaker 2: there's a connection with possibly bearing the hatchet moving on
- 0:38Speaker 2: with these riots in California. So here's where things are.
- 0:44Speaker 2: And you know, this whole thing between Trump and Musk
- 0:48Speaker 2: started to happen late last week and didn't really get
- 0:52Speaker 2: much of a chance to talk about it. So we
- 0:56Speaker 2: did discuss it a little bit on the Mat of
- 0:58Speaker 2: Stars podcast. We talk on there from a non political
- 1:03Speaker 2: perspective on things. But that's a show that I do
- 1:06Speaker 2: with doctor Sean Crusen. He is the executive director of
- 1:10Speaker 2: the Columbus State University Coca Cola Space Science Center, one
- 1:14Speaker 2: of the sponsors of the shows that we do, and
- 1:18Speaker 2: certainly a big part of that particular podcast as he
- 1:22Speaker 2: brings the expertise as an astrophysicist and then I'm the
- 1:25Speaker 2: guy asking questions that you would ask. That's my role
- 1:29Speaker 2: in all of it. Although we've been doing some version
- 1:31Speaker 2: of this for like eighteen years, so I've learned a
- 1:34Speaker 2: few things in all of it. And one of the
- 1:38Speaker 2: things that I've definitely learned and one of the things
- 1:40Speaker 2: that he and I regularly discussed because we don't talk
- 1:42Speaker 2: political angles on that show at all. And of course
- 1:48Speaker 2: politics is at play when it comes to when it
- 1:52Speaker 2: comes to NASA, when it comes to spending, when it
- 1:54Speaker 2: comes to America's interest in space, all of that comes.
- 1:59Speaker 2: It comes to play when it comes to a new
- 2:01Speaker 2: administration coming in and an old administration leaving. Changes take place.
- 2:07Speaker 2: You hope that the overall vision will be consistent, at
- 2:11Speaker 2: least when one of the you know, presidents in place
- 2:14Speaker 2: has the correct vision, you know, as we see it.
- 2:19Speaker 2: You hope that someone is able to say, we're planning
- 2:23Speaker 2: to do the following things and lay out, you know,
- 2:26Speaker 2: a plan to go back to the Moon, lay out
- 2:28Speaker 2: a plan to maybe go to Mars and and acknowledge
- 2:31Speaker 2: and realize that we're in a new space race. And
- 2:35Speaker 2: we talked on last week's show about that, and we
- 2:39Speaker 2: talked in the last couple of shows because it started
- 2:42Speaker 2: to come up as ultimately the decision got made to
- 2:46Speaker 2: pass on Isaacman as being the new administrator, Jared Isiagman
- 2:54Speaker 2: the new administrator for NASA, And that was a surprise
- 2:59Speaker 2: for us because we felt like that was, you know,
- 3:01Speaker 2: the perfect person to head NASA, someone who had some
- 3:04Speaker 2: experience on the commercial side, somebody who knows Elon well,
- 3:09Speaker 2: and someone who himself has been to space. He is,
- 3:14Speaker 2: you know, funded private missions to space, so and had
- 3:19Speaker 2: vision for what he wanted to do with NASA. And
- 3:22Speaker 2: ultimately Trump pulled his name from the possibility of being
- 3:29Speaker 2: named the new director administrator for NASA. So a lot
- 3:33Speaker 2: of questions that we discussed on the podcast, and ultimately
- 3:37Speaker 2: it was is it this feud that was sort of
- 3:40Speaker 2: brewing with him and Elon Musk? We knew Musk had
- 3:43Speaker 2: stepped aside early from the doge a job that he
- 3:48Speaker 2: was doing a month early, and it just felt like
- 3:51Speaker 2: something was there. But you know, at the time, late
- 3:56Speaker 2: last week, there was a point where it started to
- 3:57Speaker 2: become clear you were hearing things. I was hearing things
- 4:00Speaker 2: that maybe weren't even necessarily being spoken about in the
- 4:05Speaker 2: news yet. And then there it was, and it started
- 4:08Speaker 2: to become clear that all of those things were sort
- 4:11Speaker 2: of connected in some way. And of course the spats
- 4:14Speaker 2: started to happen between Trump and Musk, and you know,
- 4:18Speaker 2: they were feuding about the Ultimately you have Doge that
- 4:23Speaker 2: says we're going to cut all of the spending and
- 4:26Speaker 2: we're going to cut back all of this unnecessary spending
- 4:29Speaker 2: and work on the national debt. And then the big
- 4:33Speaker 2: beautiful bill that Musk says, hey, you're undoing all of
- 4:38Speaker 2: the things that I had fixed. Right, So, understanding that
- 4:45Speaker 2: they were at a crossroads and all of it, you
- 4:48Speaker 2: would hope that two people who had been aligned so
- 4:51Speaker 2: closely would be able to just walk away. But that's
- 4:54Speaker 2: not the personality of either of those guys. So it's
- 4:56Speaker 2: not a big surprise that it blew up into a
- 4:59Speaker 2: very public thing. Well, suddenly we got into a situation
- 5:03Speaker 2: with the rioting in California and Musk siding with Trump
- 5:07Speaker 2: on that. It doesn't magically make things all better, but
- 5:11Speaker 2: it certainly is promising at least to know that at
- 5:15Speaker 2: least Musk is looking at this is Look, we have
- 5:17Speaker 2: a difference of opinion about this bill and about spending
- 5:20Speaker 2: and about you know, some of the tax breaks for
- 5:22Speaker 2: electric vehicles and things like that that apparently were part
- 5:25Speaker 2: of it, according to some reports. So I guess the
- 5:31Speaker 2: positive in this, and I know there's a lot of
- 5:33Speaker 2: people on the left that were really excited about those
- 5:35Speaker 2: two feuding, and Musk has had some very negative comments
- 5:39Speaker 2: and thoughts and things that were expressed as far as
- 5:42Speaker 2: things go with Trump. I've seen the comments about, you know,
- 5:46Speaker 2: the Epstein plane and Epstein Island and Trump, and then
- 5:51Speaker 2: you know, then all the pictures of Trump with Elon's kid,
- 5:54Speaker 2: you know, and you're going, what would you let him
- 5:56Speaker 2: around your kid? A lot of things that don't overly
- 5:59Speaker 2: make sense, but you know, fair questions to ask in
- 6:01Speaker 2: all of this, But it starts to get petty sometimes
- 6:04Speaker 2: in politics, and I guess it leads me to what
- 6:08Speaker 2: I really want to talk about today. And it's not
- 6:09Speaker 2: just those guys, but it's California. And then you have
- 6:14Speaker 2: a governor in California who badly wants to be president
- 6:17Speaker 2: in Gavin Newsom, and Gavin Newsom slick. He is he Honestly,
- 6:26Speaker 2: I've said this before. He is what I would imagine
- 6:30Speaker 2: if the Devil were walking on Earth as a human being.
- 6:34Speaker 2: That's what I would imagine he would look like. Honestly,
- 6:37Speaker 2: that's I'm not exaggerating, and I'm not just saying it
- 6:40Speaker 2: because of politics. I just think that that's a basic,
- 6:45Speaker 2: generic look that I think the devil would have if
- 6:48Speaker 2: he were walking on the face of the earth. I'm
- 6:49Speaker 2: not calling Gavin Newsom the devil. I'm not calling him hitler,
- 6:52Speaker 2: I'm not calling him a fascist. I'm not doing any
- 6:55Speaker 2: of that. I'm just pointing out the fact that if
- 6:59Speaker 2: the Devil took a human form, that's what I would
- 7:03Speaker 2: imagine he would look like, and I would imagine he
- 7:06Speaker 2: might even be governor California. And again, I'm not calling
- 7:09Speaker 2: him the devil. That's not what I'm doing. I'm just
- 7:12Speaker 2: saying we should be a little careful, That's all I'm saying.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Just all just be cautious. You know, maybe wear a
- 7:20Speaker 2: cross around your neck when you go into a meeting
- 7:22Speaker 2: with him, just little precautionary things that might be a
- 7:24Speaker 2: good idea. No, I don't think he's the devil, but
- 7:28Speaker 2: I just think that a lot of things that Gavin
- 7:31Speaker 2: Newsom has said and done are certainly not reflective of
- 7:35Speaker 2: someone who should be president. However, we've elected people to
- 7:39Speaker 2: president that people didn't think should have been president. I
- 7:42Speaker 2: didn't think Donald Trump was going to be a good president.
- 7:45Speaker 2: I've discussed this on radio and here many times. He
- 7:49Speaker 2: wasn't the person I thought. I really, you know, had
- 7:53Speaker 2: I thought he's in this for the show. I remember
- 7:55Speaker 2: telling friends, I don't think he wants to win. I
- 7:59Speaker 2: think this is just a nice, padded setup for Hillary
- 8:02Speaker 2: to win somebody. He used to support the Clintons, but
- 8:06Speaker 2: things change sometimes people. I didn't think there was any
- 8:10Speaker 2: chance we'd elect a guy named Barack Hussein Obama. You know,
- 8:15Speaker 2: you would think that his name alone would not be
- 8:19Speaker 2: something that would Americans at the time were coming out
- 8:23Speaker 2: of an Iraq war with a guy named Saddam Hussein,
- 8:28Speaker 2: and you know, we were looking for Osama bin Lauden
- 8:31Speaker 2: at the time. I mean everything about that, from just
- 8:38Speaker 2: the name, you know, as far as the audio of
- 8:43Speaker 2: the name goes, just didn't sound right. He was president.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Didn't think Hillary Clinton could be the candidate. I mean,
- 8:50Speaker 2: Democrats run things differently, of course, so it shouldn't surprise
- 8:54Speaker 2: us that they just find a way to just kind
- 8:56Speaker 2: of anoint somebody they don't. Really it's not really a primary.
- 9:01Speaker 2: I don't know that they've had a real primary since
- 9:03Speaker 2: Bill Clinton. I guess, I mean, I think now they
- 9:05Speaker 2: just kind of it'll be you, you can be the candidate.
- 9:09Speaker 2: We're taking the democracy part out of it, We're taking
- 9:11Speaker 2: that vote out of it. We want to eliminate that
- 9:14Speaker 2: side of all of it. But anyway, Gavin Newsom is
- 9:21Speaker 2: he's done so many things that do not warrant even
- 9:24Speaker 2: a chance at being president, but he wants it. He
- 9:27Speaker 2: wants it badly. And we just did a show where
- 9:29Speaker 2: we talked about the fact that you have so many
- 9:31Speaker 2: politicians now that think we want to try to tap
- 9:36Speaker 2: into the Joe Rogan audience, we want to tap into
- 9:40Speaker 2: you know, we just had the show about Eric Swallwell,
- 9:43Speaker 2: and this is somebody who basically was like, I'm just
- 9:46Speaker 2: gonna swear on the radio show. That'll and a lot
- 9:50Speaker 2: of politicians on the left now they're doing this, this
- 9:53Speaker 2: angry swearing. This is going to get us some attention.
- 9:57Speaker 2: This is going to get us that street cred that
- 10:00Speaker 2: we so desperately need right now, Maybe we can win
- 10:03Speaker 2: over men because we don't have that right now, and
- 10:06Speaker 2: Republicans are absolutely destroying us and they're missing out on
- 10:11Speaker 2: the fact that what people really want is some sense
- 10:14Speaker 2: of law and order, some sense of fairness, some sense
- 10:18Speaker 2: of Americans. First. They don't want rioting for the sake
- 10:22Speaker 2: of non Americans. I don't think that that's what most
- 10:26Speaker 2: Americans really want. There certainly are some. There's some that
- 10:28Speaker 2: will vote party line on absolutely any idea or any thought,
- 10:32Speaker 2: and they'll just sort of mindlessly do it. They'll support it,
- 10:36Speaker 2: they'll just because this is what they're told to do.
- 10:39Speaker 2: But you've got more and more people that are left
- 10:41Speaker 2: of center that are breaking away from that and saying,
- 10:43Speaker 2: wait a minute, I don't think this is right. You
- 10:45Speaker 2: have a huge like the polling for immigrants in America,
- 10:50Speaker 2: actual legal immigrants who have come into the country, who
- 10:54Speaker 2: say I can't support someone just coming in and take
- 11:00Speaker 2: things away from actual people who have come in the
- 11:03Speaker 2: proper way. And the fact that there's any sort of
- 11:07Speaker 2: blurring of the fact that these are two very different
- 11:10Speaker 2: groups of people is astounding. So you got people that
- 11:13Speaker 2: want to use this, they're trying to tap into whatever
- 11:18Speaker 2: the charisma is, that cult of personality that Trump is.
- 11:23Speaker 2: That's ultimately what they think they're going to do. They're
- 11:25Speaker 2: going to do the swearing, they're going to do, the insulting,
- 11:27Speaker 2: they're going to do just shooting from the hip, and
- 11:30Speaker 2: they think that they can do it. And there have
- 11:33Speaker 2: to be some people on the left that are capable
- 11:35Speaker 2: of it somewhere. I don't think we've seen it yet
- 11:37Speaker 2: in a politician. I'm sure they're out there, but again,
- 11:41Speaker 2: we've just seen this parade of people that don't really
- 11:44Speaker 2: have a clue what they're doing. They really don't have
- 11:50Speaker 2: a clue. They just don't. It's sad. It's really sad
- 11:56Speaker 2: hearing them speak. It's sad hearing them try to seem
- 11:59Speaker 2: like they think that they're being tough and they say
- 12:02Speaker 2: things that don't make any sense. They just don't understand
- 12:08Speaker 2: that there's a difference between Trump and really just about
- 12:15Speaker 2: everybody else, just about everybody else. Republicans have a few
- 12:20Speaker 2: of these people on the bench. I mean, we got
- 12:24Speaker 2: a governor in Florida who he's got it. He's capable
- 12:29Speaker 2: of doing all of those things. He's not Trump, but
- 12:33Speaker 2: he's capable of doing many of the same things as Trump.
- 12:36Speaker 2: So Gavin Newsom, by the way, Hakeem Jeffreys trying to
- 12:42Speaker 2: talk about immigration, trying to talk about what's happened in
- 12:45Speaker 2: California just sounds like an absolute moron. He was supposed
- 12:49Speaker 2: to be one of their guys. He was a guy
- 12:51Speaker 2: that they said he's gonna be like one of our
- 12:53Speaker 2: next rock stars. We're gonna get him in leadership in
- 12:57Speaker 2: the House, and we're gonna get him in a position
- 12:59Speaker 2: where he could be one of our future stars. He's not.
- 13:03Speaker 2: And I realized that. I think that they just kind
- 13:05Speaker 2: of put him there with no intentions of him going
- 13:09Speaker 2: anywhere else. I don't know, but he sounds like an
- 13:12Speaker 2: absolute idiot when he starts talking. And we knew when
- 13:16Speaker 2: he got the h when he got the job and
- 13:21Speaker 2: he got in he got in front of Congress and
- 13:24Speaker 2: started doing the alphabet. A is for all the people
- 13:28Speaker 2: that we're gonna help. B is for Barry's. I like,
- 13:33Speaker 2: I don't know. He just kept talking about all the
- 13:35Speaker 2: stupid stuff they were going to do using the alphabet.
- 13:37Speaker 2: It was dumb. And hearing him talk about immigration, he
- 13:40Speaker 2: should it doesn't. I mean, he's clueless. So let's go
- 13:45Speaker 2: to Gavin Newsom, who has been trying to talk tough.
- 13:48Speaker 2: He wants to talk tough to Trump and to Tom Homan,
- 13:51Speaker 2: and he wants to be I'm gonna be a tough guy.
- 13:54Speaker 2: And now he's he talks like, you know, I'm listening
- 13:57Speaker 2: to both sides. I want to hear things from both sides.
- 14:00Speaker 2: But Trump wanting to send in the National Guard and
- 14:04Speaker 2: maybe the Marines, and all of this conversation starts and
- 14:08Speaker 2: he starts telling Homan and Trump, why don't you guys
- 14:11Speaker 2: just throw me in jail. That's what you want to do.
- 14:13Speaker 2: Throw me in jail. Sound familiar. Trump didn't say throw
- 14:20Speaker 2: me in jail. But we know what Trump being thrown
- 14:23Speaker 2: in jail did for his career. Politically, we have a
- 14:29Speaker 2: situation that's playing out here locally in Columbus, Georgia, where
- 14:34Speaker 2: we have a non elected official who was just removed
- 14:37Speaker 2: from their job that they had for multiple decades, and
- 14:41Speaker 2: there's been a lot of speculation about a political run,
- 14:45Speaker 2: an actual elected position run coming, and you know, being
- 14:51Speaker 2: terminated by our city council from the position that they
- 14:55Speaker 2: were in seems to have put them in a position
- 14:58Speaker 2: where they might get a certain amount of sen It's
- 15:01Speaker 2: kind of the Trump formula. I don't think that's what
- 15:03Speaker 2: was intended in this situation in Columbus, but you know,
- 15:09Speaker 2: somebody to be terminated from their job. This was our
- 15:13Speaker 2: former city manager who had the job again forty one years,
- 15:17Speaker 2: Isaiah Hugley. And there's been speculation about who was going
- 15:20Speaker 2: to retire and maybe run for mayor. And it certainly
- 15:23Speaker 2: seems like, well, maybe this kind of sets the table
- 15:25Speaker 2: for that. And I think and that's not going to jail,
- 15:29Speaker 2: but that's setting up a situation where looking like the
- 15:32Speaker 2: victim in it, and I think nothing would help Gavin
- 15:37Speaker 2: Newsom quite like being thrown in jail. And you start
- 15:42Speaker 2: having discussions where it's like, hey, I hear Trump is
- 15:44Speaker 2: considering it. I hear Trump is saying that maybe they
- 15:47Speaker 2: should do that, And no, no, don't do that. Don't
- 15:52Speaker 2: fall for it. It's a trap. Go full Admiral Acbar,
- 15:56Speaker 2: It's a trap. Don't fall for it. Do not fall
- 16:01Speaker 2: for it. That is not going to end well for
- 16:04Speaker 2: the American people. It's just not going to work. So
- 16:11Speaker 2: if nothing else, if nothing else has come out of this,
- 16:15Speaker 2: we've seen one small little step back closer together between
- 16:21Speaker 2: Elon Musk and President Trump. That's been the only positive
- 16:26Speaker 2: from it. That and the fact that the American people
- 16:29Speaker 2: are getting an opportunity to see what a president looks
- 16:32Speaker 2: like when they're actually going to enforce the law, when
- 16:35Speaker 2: they've taken an oath to uphold the Constitution and they say,
- 16:37Speaker 2: we're going to protect the American people. That's the job
- 16:40Speaker 2: of the government is to protect the American people and
- 16:45Speaker 2: protect property in life and liberty and not just allow
- 16:50Speaker 2: riding in the streets. And I think a lot of
- 16:53Speaker 2: Americans have said, why have we been allowing this to
- 16:55Speaker 2: go on for so long? Why have we just allowed
- 17:00Speaker 2: this to happen for so long? And it's taken this
- 17:04Speaker 2: long before somebody will actually say, wait a minute, I'm
- 17:07Speaker 2: gonna knock all this stuff off. We're not gonna do it.
- 17:10Speaker 2: We're not going to allow it. And please don't take
- 17:14Speaker 2: the bait on Gavin Newsom daring you to throw him
- 17:17Speaker 2: in jail. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State
- 17:20Speaker 2: University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
- 17:24Speaker 3: Hey everyone, this is doctor Sean Crusin. I'm the executive
- 17:26Speaker 3: director of Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
- 17:30Speaker 3: I want to tell you about a very special exhibit
- 17:33Speaker 3: that we have on display the summer. It's so big
- 17:37Speaker 3: that it can't even fit in our own exhibit gallery,
- 17:39Speaker 3: it's just too many pieces. This is a collection of
- 17:44Speaker 3: items from the personal collection of astronaut David R.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Scott.
- 17:49Speaker 3: Dave Scott flew on Gemini eight with Neil Armstrong. He
- 17:53Speaker 3: flew on Apollo nine, a dress rehearsal for the moon landing,
- 17:56Speaker 3: and then most importantly perhaps he commanded Apollo fifteen, where
- 18:00Speaker 3: he became the first person to ever drive a car
- 18:03Speaker 3: on the service of the Moon. Because Dave's brother, Tom
- 18:07Speaker 3: lived and worked here in Columbus, Georgia, with our Columbus
- 18:10Speaker 3: Chamber of Commerce, we got to be good friends with Tom.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Tom has coordinated a very generous donation of artifacts and
- 18:17Speaker 3: memorabilia from the Scott Brothers collection to us here at
- 18:21Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center. And again, that collection got
- 18:24Speaker 3: so overwhelmingly large we couldn't put it on display here.
- 18:27Speaker 3: That's why we're doing the exhibit at the Bow Bartlet Center.
- 18:30Speaker 3: They are open from eleven am to four pm Tuesday
- 18:34Speaker 3: through Saturday. Go down and check out this great exhibit
- 18:37Speaker 3: on display at the Bow Bartlet Center. Check out all
- 18:40Speaker 3: the other wonderful pieces of artwork down there as well,
- 18:43Speaker 3: and then come visit us here at Columbus State University's
- 18:46Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center.
- 18:47Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
- 18:50Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
- 18:55Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
- 18:59Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
- 19:03Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
- 19:06Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of square and that
- 19:09Speaker 2: away for you, and while they're there, you can always
- 19:12Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
- 19:14Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
- 19:18Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
- 19:20Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
- 19:27Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
- 19:30Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got.
- 19:33Speaker 2: With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in
- 19:37Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
- 19:40Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
- 19:43Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
- 19:45Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
- 19:50Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
- 19:51Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 19:54Speaker 2: man cavid, you'd like to be able to open the
- 19:56Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
- 19:59Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, And again they
- 20:01Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
- 20:04Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
- 20:07Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
- 20:10Speaker 2: And they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five

- 20:21Speaker 2: Morning Show right after the break. Well, here's a concept
- 20:33Speaker 2: you might not have ever thought about. I don't know,
- 20:35Speaker 2: maybe you have. Some people apparently are just bad at mornings. Now.
- 20:43Speaker 2: I think this is different than just not being a
- 20:45Speaker 2: morning person. I'm not necessarily someone who ever considered themselves
- 20:51Speaker 2: a mourning person, right. I, in my early radio days
- 20:56Speaker 2: vowed to never ever ever do more radio. And there's
- 21:02Speaker 2: that old expression about announcing your plans is the quickest
- 21:05Speaker 2: way to hear God laugh. There became a point where
- 21:08Speaker 2: doing morning radio was the only option, and I actually
- 21:11Speaker 2: very much fell in love with morning radio in so
- 21:13Speaker 2: many ways. So I do. Now, you know, I've adjusted
- 21:18Speaker 2: to the early morning schedule and all of that. But
- 21:23Speaker 2: there are some people who it's not just that they're
- 21:27Speaker 2: not mourning people, they're bad at mornings. A new survey
- 21:33Speaker 2: found that forty percent of respondents say that they're bad
- 21:36Speaker 2: at mornings, and the biggest issue not getting out of
- 21:39Speaker 2: bed on time, and they say it happens about eight
- 21:43Speaker 2: times a month. According to the people who were surveyed,
- 21:47Speaker 2: ten percent say it happens more than twenty times per month. Yikes.
- 21:51Speaker 2: And being late causes them to skip breakfast, skip showering,
- 21:56Speaker 2: and skip brushing their teeth. Now I do know people
- 22:01Speaker 2: that have all of these issues, but I don't know
- 22:04Speaker 2: that I ever would have put it into terms that
- 22:08Speaker 2: they are in fact bad at mornings. But it kind
- 22:11Speaker 2: of makes some sort of sense now, So I'm glad
- 22:13Speaker 2: that there's some sort of terminology for it. At least.
- 22:17Speaker 2: Speaking of terminology, are you familiar with something called dry begging?
- 22:23Speaker 2: So think about it like this, looking at a basket
- 22:27Speaker 2: of clean laundry and saying, I guess I'll just fold
- 22:29Speaker 2: these myself. Or must be nice to have a husband
- 22:33Speaker 2: who cooks while you're cooking, I guess I'll just stay
- 22:37Speaker 2: at home with a dog. I guess the spouse heads
- 22:39Speaker 2: out for the night. And that's what's now being referred
- 22:44Speaker 2: to as dry begging. Instead of outright asking for help
- 22:47Speaker 2: or attention or whatever you want, dry beggars will drop
- 22:49Speaker 2: vague comments, complaints, or hints. I always thought of as
- 22:54Speaker 2: just kind of a passive aggressive thing, but it's basically
- 22:57Speaker 2: a way for asking for something with out appearing vulnerable.
- 23:02Speaker 2: And apparently the side effect, of course, is that it
- 23:06Speaker 2: causes some resentment when the person doesn't respond to the hints.
- 23:10Speaker 2: Therapists say that some people who dry beg are doing
- 23:14Speaker 2: it from a place of insecurity because they don't want
- 23:17Speaker 2: it to basically end up in a situation where they
- 23:21Speaker 2: get hurt when the person says no to their request,
- 23:24Speaker 2: and they say it can also be a learned behavior
- 23:26Speaker 2: because they saw a parent do it when they were
- 23:28Speaker 2: growing up. So this is a generational thing, which I'm
- 23:31Speaker 2: sure that it is. I'm very familiar with families and
- 23:35Speaker 2: people that have done it generations back. So why has
- 23:39Speaker 2: it taken so long to get a term? I mean,
- 23:42Speaker 2: that's what I'm thinking. Dry begging. It's a great term
- 23:45Speaker 2: for it. The remedy acknowledge the behavior and work on
- 23:48Speaker 2: better communication. And if you're the person who drops one
- 23:51Speaker 2: of the dry begging comments, ask them if they are
- 23:58Speaker 2: requesting your help. This means if you're receiving one of them,
- 24:02Speaker 2: ask if they're requesting your help, and that starts a
- 24:04Speaker 2: discussion and yeah, I think that's what they mean. So
- 24:08Speaker 2: ultimately the goal is to have a conversation about it
- 24:11Speaker 2: and being able to communicate what your needs are, your
- 24:14Speaker 2: requests are, and then that way there's no resentment or
- 24:17Speaker 2: confusion that goes with it. So that'll make sense, all right.
- 24:21Speaker 2: We've just had graduations. We're into summer months, of course,
- 24:25Speaker 2: and AI is, in fact, according to experts, having a
- 24:31Speaker 2: negative effect on the job market for new grads. Some
- 24:35Speaker 2: estimates say that by twenty thirty, thirty percent of all
- 24:37Speaker 2: work will be automated. Looking grim for recent college grads
- 24:42Speaker 2: because the work that is most replaceable is the entry
- 24:47Speaker 2: level stuff. And they say in the past three years,
- 24:50Speaker 2: the unemployment rate for recent grads aged twenty two to
- 24:52Speaker 2: twenty seven has risen from three point nine percent to
- 24:55Speaker 2: five point seven percent, as opposed to the overall unemployment rate,
- 24:59Speaker 2: which has ticked up a few tenths in that amount
- 25:02Speaker 2: of time. The hardest hit sector is it which is
- 25:05Speaker 2: shit eight percent of its jobs for grads in that
- 25:08Speaker 2: twenty two to twenty seven year old bracket. So what
- 25:12Speaker 2: can you do to protect yourself? Basically, experts say that
- 25:18Speaker 2: you should specialize in analytical specialties. Generalists are jobs that
- 25:26Speaker 2: are harder to be replaced. I also think that you
- 25:31Speaker 2: know trade jobs. I don't know how close we are
- 25:34Speaker 2: to robots doing plumbing jobs and welding and anything that
- 25:40Speaker 2: you physically have to use your hands for. I know,
- 25:43Speaker 2: when you start talking about big assembly line situations, yes,
- 25:47Speaker 2: but when you're talking about something you know specifically to
- 25:52Speaker 2: some of the trade jobs, it's really hard for a
- 25:55Speaker 2: robot to just come into your house and fix your plumbing,
- 25:59Speaker 2: for example, or electricians or as I said, welding. So
- 26:04Speaker 2: just keep all that in mind. That'll do it for
- 26:06Speaker 2: this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors
- 26:08Speaker 2: and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back
