Transcript
- 0:00The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start your
- 0:05day and you're listening to The West Carol Morning Show. Tuesday morning, fifth
- 0:11day of September. I'm West thanks for joining me. Back at it after
- 0:17Labor Day, after Dragon con on a fantastic event again this year. About
- 0:24seventy thousand people descended on Atlanta from all over really all over the world,
- 0:32but all fifty states and Canada, Brazil, Australia, several European nations and
- 0:41raised a whole bunch of money for Cure Childhood Cancer, this year's charity partner
- 0:47for the convention, and I guess the final talies are to come, but
- 0:53it looks like it will pass the previous record for charitable donations to an organization,
- 0:58which was two hundred and six thousand, which was raised a year ago
- 1:02open hand Atlanta. So I mean we're talking about worthy cause after worthy cause
- 1:07for this convention and ways that they support these organizations through auctions and merchandise sales,
- 1:15special events, and then there's a dollar for dollar match from the convention.
- 1:19So it's likely to pass two hundred and six thousand dollars and a great
- 1:25cause there, Cure childhood Cancer. I talked with Kristin Connor, the CEO
- 1:33of Cure Childhood Cancer, on the dragon Con Pregame Show, which is in
- 1:38its podcast form Waiting for You over on the dragon Con Pregame Show podcast where
- 1:45you listen to this show, you can listen to that show and you can
- 1:49hear my interview with her, and she talks a personal story about her own
- 1:55child being diagnosed with cancer and what the impact that was and what that organization,
- 2:00Cure Childhood Cancer does for families and for people that are are dealing with
- 2:06everything that comes with having a child with cancer. And also the blood drive
- 2:13that takes place at dragon Con. It's one of the biggest blood drives of
- 2:15its kind, and I guess the fifty thousandth donor for blood drives over the
- 2:21years, thirty seven hundred donors this year and about ten thousand blood components that
- 2:27were taken in and ranked as the largest convention based blood drive consistently. It's
- 2:35done through Life South and serves twenty five more than twenty five hospitals in the
- 2:39Atlanta area and one hundred and twenty five throughout the Southeast. So there you
- 2:45go. Seventy thousand people in attendance this year and sold out for all five
- 2:53days the convention. It was a great, great convention, had a great
- 2:58time and always enjoy covering and I've been covering it for over two decades,
- 3:05and again check out the some of the coverage. I'll have more in the
- 3:12coming days on social media and other places as well. But you can go
- 3:16to the Dragon coun pregame show podcast powered by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space
- 3:23Science Center. Always appreciate them for helping us put our stuff together and doctor
- 3:29Sean Cruise in this part of the show, plus interviews with a couple of
- 3:31the attendees who were there, including a costplayer Angie Starr. And then also
- 3:38I had a really good time talking again with Phil Lamar, voice actor and
- 3:44film and TV and stage actor, he's all of that, and Adam Savage
- 3:49from MythBusters. It was a different sort of convention in a few ways because
- 3:53any of the press events that we did, the folks that were there couldn't
- 3:57talk about their projects. They couldn't talk about any of the struck work that
- 4:00they're in because of the sag after strike, So that made it a little
- 4:03bit more challenging. But it made for some different sorts of interviews and things
- 4:09that took place there. So I'll have some of that also coming to the
- 4:15Dragon Con pregame show podcast page in the coming days, pulling some audio from
- 4:20some of those press conferences. All right, So what I would like to
- 4:25talk about this morning, and it's a unique convergence of people that come together
- 4:31for a convention like dragon Con, because when you get a lot of people
- 4:34together, there's obviously a representation of a lot of different, a lot of
- 4:41different, of a lot of a wide variety of perspectives. I guess a
- 4:50lot of different does work because it's a lot of different takes on things.
- 4:56You have extremes in all directions as far as you know how people feel about
- 5:02different things. I had an opportunity. I had some really interesting conversations.
- 5:05I don't typically like to talk about sensitive areas outside of what I do with
- 5:14this job. I talk about it enough here. And I'm not really one
- 5:18of those people who feels like it's our job. Like I'm not an evangelical
- 5:26person when it comes to politics. I don't feel it's my job in life
- 5:31to change someone's opinions or things. I do like pointing out and I'm talking
- 5:36about face to face you know. Here on this I try to just make
- 5:42observations. I try to make commentary on things I do, try to bring
- 5:46my perspective to things. Some people appreciate it, some people don't. There
- 5:51are a lot of shows of people, you know, shaking their fists and
- 5:55screaming at you. On both sides. They tell you you should think this,
- 6:00should think that you must do this, you must do that. There
- 6:02are people that people will ask me like do you like this particular show or
- 6:06this particular person, and I as far as listening to their content, and
- 6:12I've told you on this show before, I don't listen to a lot of
- 6:15other shows because I like my ideas here to be mine. I like them
- 6:18to be my ideas. Right. Doesn't mean other people don't have them.
- 6:24It just means that if I had a bluegrass band, I wouldn't listen to
- 6:27a lot of bluegrass music before I wrote a new album. And because i'm,
- 6:31you know, daily writing a new album here, I'm not listening to
- 6:35other shows to draw in ideas from those other shows. It's just not what
- 6:41I do. Okay, if I were going to put together a whole stand
- 6:46up routine about food and food items like fast food restaurants. I wouldn't spend
- 6:53most of my time leading up to that listening to Jim Gaffigan, you know,
- 6:56I just I would feel like there would be a high probability that I
- 7:00might be tempted to borrow some of his material because it's good and I don't
- 7:04necessarily want to. So then you've got, uh, you know, the
- 7:08talk shows or people that also do podcasts or that do you know, news
- 7:15commentary. They're talking heads on news shows, and some of them, I
- 7:20mean, they tell you, point blank, this is how you are supposed
- 7:24to live, this is what you were supposed to think. Sometimes when I
- 7:29hear something from those people, I think, wow, I agree with that.
- 7:32In some cases I think I completely disagree with them. But the thing
- 7:36that I will consistently disagree with them on is when they say you must do
- 7:42what I say. I don't. I don't like that. I'm not and
- 7:45that's not what I try to do here. I don't want to tell you
- 7:47how you're supposed to vote. I don't want to tell you how you're supposed
- 7:51to think. You know, if I can't just talk to you about my
- 7:57take on things then and that if that's not enough, this isn't the right
- 8:03show. If you need me to tell you what you're supposed to be doing
- 8:07day to day, every activity, every action, if you need my help
- 8:11with that, you probably need better help because that's not what I'm equipped to
- 8:15do here. Okay. So I get people together, like in any gathering,
- 8:20and I don't usually talk about topics, because there's some people you just
- 8:24can't talk about things with. Right, there's some topics that I feel like
- 8:30when you talk with someone and they say, well, this is the political
- 8:33candidate that I like, and I say, I might ask, you know,
- 8:39what do you like about them? What is it that you like?
- 8:43Or I might say, are you nuts you have to like this? Getting
- 8:46now, I don't do that, but I do find it interesting when when
- 8:52people talk and they're honest and they just sort of lower that guard just a
- 8:58little bit and they're opened ideas, then people are able to talk and maybe
- 9:03make some kind of progress. And I constantly feel like that's why the powers
- 9:07that be, the real people that are running things behind the scenes, and
- 9:11those people exist. They do, and I know we're not supposed to know
- 9:16that they exist, and that's the kind of thing that gets your podcast taken
- 9:20down and episodes deleted. It's just the kind of thing that that mysteriously will
- 9:26happen sometimes if you don't make everybody feel safe. But they don't want everybody
- 9:31to talk. They don't want a normal conversation that people can just sit down
- 9:35and have. And I feel like we're kind of at a weird moment right
- 9:37now where some people are starting to talk because people are they're hurting. They're
- 9:43hurting like this is a financial situation that we haven't seen ever, not like
- 9:52this. What feels to a lot of people, and even people that I
- 9:56know that are staunch D voters that are going what is their self inflicted wounds.
- 10:05This is where we are right now. We're all hurting financially and we're
- 10:09not better off. And some of them feel that they're ready to do whatever
- 10:16they have to do to fix it, and that means voting in a different
- 10:20direction. Some of them feel that they might vote in a different direction.
- 10:24They still won't vote for Orange Man. They won't come around on this idea
- 10:28that if it comes down to Trump and Biden, they just can't vote for
- 10:33Trump, even if that means again the self inflicted wounds being worse. There
- 10:39are still people who feel that way. There's some that don't see that we
- 10:43have a problem at all. They think inflation is great. They think that
- 10:46whatever we're dealing with is fine because it's all being done in the name of
- 10:50the environment. It's all being done in the name of fill in the blank.
- 10:56There's a number of reasons that people think it's great. The whole environmental
- 11:01thing is really about moving money around, redistribution of wealth. That's really what's
- 11:05going on. That's really what it's about. But this whole concept of you
- 11:11know, we had to pass this green New deal. We called it inflation
- 11:15reduction. It's really green new deal. We gave it a different name to
- 11:18make it sound good. But it's still hurting everyone financially. It's still devastating
- 11:24to many people financially. And if you think that they're not doubling down on
- 11:30the environmental thing right now, even as it continues on, because this is
- 11:35the continued narrative that we're getting. It's happening now. Obviously, we went
- 11:41through this whole situation in Maui and people wanted that to be environmental. They
- 11:48wanted to say it was really about the environment. A big component of why
- 11:52that wildfire happened is because of environmental things that were put in place that helped
- 11:58make the fire work policies not necessarily climate And now with hurricanes in Florida,
- 12:09and here we go. Hurricanes, by the way, have been happening for
- 12:13a very very long time, as far back as we know. There's no
- 12:18record in human history where we're unfamiliar with the concept of hurricanes having happened.
- 12:26Right, It's not like this is a new phenomenon. This thought was expressed
- 12:31by the governor of Florida while he was speaking at a press event, and
- 12:37the question came up because our president says that the hurricanes in Florida basically,
- 12:48you know, you have to you have to understand that they're caused by climate
- 12:54change. I mean that you have to understand. He said, nobody intelligent
- 13:01can deny the impact of the climate crisis anymore about these hurricanes. So a
- 13:09reporter on hand at the press conference with Governor DeSantis and candidate for President Rohnda
- 13:16Santis, and this was DeSantis's response to that reporter when he asked the DeSantis
- 13:24the question of DeSantis about Biden's comments, and this was his reply, Well,
- 13:30I think if you look there was there was a storm that went on
- 13:33this almost exact track in eighteen ninety six, and it had one hundred and
- 13:37twenty five mile an hour winds just like this one. If you look at
- 13:41the state of Florida, the most powerful storm hurricane we've ever had is actually
- 13:46the anniversary is now is the Labor Day Hurricane of nineteen thirty five. It
- 13:52had one hundred and eighty five mile an hour sustained winds. The most powerful
- 13:56hurricane that's ever been made land Ball in the state of Florida, probably in
- 14:01the United States, but certainly in the state of Florida, that ripped up
- 14:05parts of the Florida Keys. It killed hundreds of people. There were people
- 14:09that cut caught up in the storm, their clothes got ripped off their bodies
- 14:13that the wind was so strong. So I think the notion that somehow hurricanes
- 14:20or something new, that's just false. And we've got to stop politicizing the
- 14:24weather and stop politicizing natural disasters. We know from history there have been times
- 14:28where it's been very busy. In Florida. Late forties, early fifties,
- 14:33you had a lot of kits of significant hurricanes, so they think sometimes people
- 14:37need to take a breath and get a little bit of perspective here. But
- 14:39the notion that somehow, if we just adopt, you know, very left
- 14:43wing policies at the federal level, that somehow we will not have hurricanes,
- 14:48that is a lie. And that is people trying to take what's happened with
- 14:54different types of storms and use that as a pretext to advance their agenda on
- 15:00the backs of people that are suffering. And that's wrong and we're not going
- 15:03to do that in the state of Florida, thank you. And that's Governor
- 15:07DeSantis talking about the blaming of climate change on hurricanes. You know, we've
- 15:15heard it's really does fall under the category of like it's it's a religion.
- 15:20It's a cult religion, now, that's what it is. And you know
- 15:24when New Orleans known for you know, Marty Gras partying, you know,
- 15:31that's something that happens there, and then when that's followed by a hurricane and
- 15:37you had you know, some what I would call people who approach things from
- 15:41sort of a religious extremist standpoint, and they say, ah, that city
- 15:46is being punished for all the debauchery happening there, and you go, what
- 15:50and that's the blame, you know, they blame. They say, oh,
- 15:54yes, God is punishing those people because of the things that they do
- 16:00there, the nudity and the depravity that happens on the streets there, and
- 16:04the drinking and all of that. And people say, oh, those people
- 16:07are nuts. Man. You're you're you're blaming the weather. You're blaming something
- 16:12that's happened weatherwise, you know, for as long as far back as we
- 16:17know. You're you're saying, God is using that to punish people, even
- 16:22the people who weren't behaving in those acts and deeds. And then people,
- 16:27you know, they make fun of that. And then now the cult of
- 16:33climate change. Okay, and I'm not talking about people that are just a
- 16:37scientists. I'm not people that are talking about people that just say, hey,
- 16:41climate change happens. It's happened again for as long as we know.
- 16:45And then some and you know, people certainly have some impact on it.
- 16:51I don't think there's any reason to think that they didn't. But we don't
- 16:55know really much more than that. Really, but when you deny things like
- 17:00you know, the sun having the most significant impact on it, solar cycles,
- 17:07being in solar maximum having an impact on all the other planets in the
- 17:11Solar system. By the way, we've got some research to support that the
- 17:15latest Neptune the solar cycles when we're in solar maximum, there's an impact on
- 17:21the clouds on Neptune, all right, But in the same study they tell
- 17:26you, but it doesn't have any impact on Earth. What How's that possible?
- 17:30So there is a certain amount of fanaticism to say, oh my gosh,
- 17:33it's a hurricane. We're being punished because we won't do more to save
- 17:40the environment. How is that really any different? How's that really any different?
- 17:44Anyway? So in the context of all of this, I'm getting back
- 17:48to my point originally, which was that, you know, I talked to
- 17:51some people really over the last few weeks, but some over the weekend that
- 17:56are some steadfast dug in I don't care. If Donald Trump was running against
- 18:02Satan himself, they would vote for Satan, right. And then on the
- 18:10other side, there's some that they're saying, you know, I didn't vote
- 18:12for him last time, but I think we messed up. I think we
- 18:15made a mistake. I think it's hard for me to afford the things that
- 18:19I used to be able to afford. It's hard financially. Things are really
- 18:23tough, and I don't know what we're gonna do other than we got to
- 18:26get somebody in who's not gonna make things worse. We gotta get somebody in
- 18:30who understands that the Inflation Reduction Act hurt us, Somebody that understands that we're
- 18:40not making any progress on making anything any better right now. You can't just
- 18:45brag inflation is not as bad as it was a week ago or a month
- 18:49ago or two months ago, because it's still getting worse. No one is
- 18:56really feeling that relief. No one is able to take the same money that
- 19:03they had three four years ago and go buy what they need to buy because
- 19:07everything has gone up. Everything has gone up, and it's across the board,
- 19:15and people are suffering for it. We've got to find something that's going
- 19:18to help each other out. And we talk about trying to have compassion for
- 19:19each other and trying to help each other out, and if we're not helping
- 19:23each other out, when there were many that some people just say, well,
- 19:27I'm doing okay, but not everybody is. You know, there's this
- 19:33perception that one side is more compassionate than the other. And what I think
- 19:37some people, maybe I don't know, some of the people that I talked
- 19:41to starting to kind of see, hey, it's not really compassion if you're
- 19:45you know, kind of taking care of the elites at the top and the
- 19:49people who've been voting for you, I don't know, fifty sixty years,
- 19:55you know, die hards, they're suffering, and it hasn't gotten any better,
- 19:59nothing changed, nothing's been fixed with it. We'll see. We won't
- 20:02know how any of all of this plays out until next year, but we
- 20:06do know that it's looking more and more likely that we know who the candidates
- 20:11are going to be. We kind of have that general idea. And if
- 20:15people are going to say, well, still don't like Trump, still don't
- 20:19want him to be the guy, still can't possibly vote for him, then
- 20:23things aren't necessarily going to get any better. You know, you can't say
- 20:27the current administration is making it worse and then expect it to be any different
- 20:32if you vote them back in, right, I mean, is that a
- 20:34reasonable thing to think? Is is going to happen? Today's show brought to
- 20:40you by Columba State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center inspiring and educating the youth
- 20:48and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages. I
- 20:53mean they do it for school age kids as school aged kids visit the Coca
- 20:57Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through their university programs where
- 21:03you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and
- 21:08STEM fields are booming right now. And you can learn more about maybe getting
- 21:14your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check
- 21:22out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they do
- 21:27with the Schwobe School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
- 21:32It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one
- 21:37of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think,
- 21:41is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a
- 21:45major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
- 21:52Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome. Check
- 21:56out upcoming dates for the shows and also check out when the next Astronomy Nights
- 22:03coming up where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola
- 22:07Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights you don't
- 22:11wan any light interference, and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy
- 22:15Night events also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Shaan Cruzen
- 22:19says Charlie Charlie Sam Sam Charlie dot org. I just remind you that it
- 22:25stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to
- 22:32you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
- 22:36commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for.
- 22:42It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have
- 22:48electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring
- 22:52that away for you, and while they're there, you can always ask them
- 22:56questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage
- 23:00door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and
- 23:04you need some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
- 23:07brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door
- 23:12opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got.
- 23:17With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
- 23:22Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add a screen door to
- 23:26your garage door system that you can put down and you can use your garage
- 23:30space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 23:34to work on your own cars in there, or maybe you just want a
- 23:37little man caved, you'd like to be able to open the door up and
- 23:41not invite all the insects in. They can do that for you as well,
- 23:45and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
- 23:48of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
- 23:52you need somebody to come help, and they do those as well. Seven
- 23:56oh sixty five eight forty five hundred seven six three five eight forty five hundred
- 24:02O DC Columbus dot com more West Carroll Morning Show. Right after the break.
- 24:15According to wallet hub survey done, fifty seven percent of people went out
- 24:19of town over Labor Day weekend, about twenty one percent went to a friend
- 24:26of relatives party. About fourteen percent went to a beach or lake. Popular
- 24:30Labor Day twenty twenty three destinations this year were New York, San Francisco,
- 24:34LA, Seattle, and Chicago. The survey also revealed that fifty five percent
- 24:41of Americans left vacation days unused last year just didn't use them, felt like
- 24:48they couldn't use them, I guess, or just never got or maybe they
- 24:51felt like their their boss didn't want them to use them. I don't know.
- 24:53I don't know where that comes from, but that's it's always unfortunate.
- 24:57I worked at a place that you had to use them or you would lose
- 25:00them, and everybody would. We got to coordinate this. We gotta make
- 25:03sure we get rid of get them used. I get rid of them,
- 25:07get them used. You know, sick days rolled over, but vacation days
- 25:11did not. But anyway, does being happy in your job lead to being
- 25:15happy in your life? I think this kind of relates to that story,
- 25:18doesn't it a lot of people seem to think so. Survey found seventy five
- 25:22percent of respondents believe that a big key to happiness is having a job that
- 25:26you actually like. Maybe also a job that will let you take your vacation
- 25:32days comfortably, safely and be able to do that and enjoy it. I
- 25:37don't know. You may think there's never a bad time to go to McDonald's,
- 25:42but according to a former corporate chef at McDonald's, there actually is.
- 25:48Mike Haracks. I don't know to say, H A R A c Z.
- 25:53Who's on TikTok. That's all I can tell you. He's on TikTok.
- 25:57Harracks Maybe he told secrets about McDonald's and says the worst time to visit
- 26:03McDonald's is ten thirty in the morning. He said that's when the restaurants are
- 26:07switching from breakfast to lunch, and then there's a bit of a lag because
- 26:11they need to switch everything over from one menu to the next. They got
- 26:15a bunch of changes they gotta make, whether it's in the kitchen, whether
- 26:18it's the signage. I thought the signage was easy. Now isn't that all
- 26:21digital? And he says that some locations that staff are switching out happens then
- 26:29too, and that can cause more delay. So he says ten thirty is
- 26:33not the good time. There used to be some secret menu items that you
- 26:36could get. There was a you could get a mic thirteen I think is
- 26:40what they called it, and it was a burger that also had the egg
- 26:42on it from the egg McMuffin. That sounds pretty good, you know.
- 26:48I like an egg on my burger. But I don't think I've ever wanted
- 26:51to go to McDonald's at ten thirty in the morning. I don't think I've
- 26:52ever done that before. It's not a good eating time for me. I
- 26:56tend to eat, you know, my first of the days off in lunch,
- 27:00but when I eat breakfast, it's not typically at ten thirty. It's
- 27:04a little earlier than that. But anyway, all right. One of the
- 27:07big costumes at Dragon con over this past weekend was Barbie. Hands down,
- 27:15there were Barbies and Kens everywhere. It was a big thing. If you
- 27:18just had the color pink on you almost certainly were called Barbie in some capacity.
- 27:26And then the one particular costume that I wanted to at least see one
- 27:32of I saw three times. I saw thrice, if you will, and
- 27:37that was the Barbie Himer Okay, the two movies. And it's a unique
- 27:41costume for a convention like Dragon con or Halloween. This year, maybe there'll
- 27:47be some they'll get they'll get a chance to reave them then, but it's
- 27:49not going to be like now. If you buy a costume like a Mario,
- 27:55right, you dressed like super Mario and you can wear it basically forever.
- 28:00You know, you can wear that costume for life, as long as
- 28:02it fits you. You can wear it. If you go buy a pink
- 28:07suit and a pink hat and your go as Barbie Heimer, this is a
- 28:11small shelf life for that. I think this is the one year that that's
- 28:15relevant. I think if you're wearing Barbie Heimer next year or you know,
- 28:21five years from now, people are gonna go I don't get it. What
- 28:22does that mean? Are either pink panther? What are you doing? I
- 28:25don't understand. But I did see three of them, and I was glad
- 28:29that I got to see a three of them. They were all the same
- 28:32day, and then it was done. I didn't see anymore after that.
- 28:33I did see someone in a pink suit and I thought, okay, well
- 28:37this maybe is going to be a barbieh Heimer, and I said, you
- 28:40gotta put the hat on, and no, no, no, I'm just
- 28:41wearing a pink suit. I just like the pink suit kind of Barbie related
- 28:45costume, but not Barbie Heimer. And when you were almost there, but
- 28:49again probably didn't want to make the investment of the hat. So the two
- 28:53movies came out on the same day, Oppenheimer and Barbie. And that's where
- 28:57the whole Barbenheimer or Barbe Beheimer thing came from. Right, Well, a
- 29:03lot of people had fun with it, some theaters showing both movies the double
- 29:07feature that was going on, and they did that, and then just again
- 29:15talk about the two movies they had. They're joined together just because of their
- 29:18release. Well, there's someone who does not like this trend, this Barbenheimer
- 29:26or Barbeheimer thing, and it's a woman by the name of Barbara Oppenheimer.
- 29:30She's a retired college professor and grandmother of five, and she has been trolled
- 29:37by people on social media because she said it came to a head over summer
- 29:42vacation. She said, when I checked in at a hotel, I said,
- 29:45my name is Barbie Oppenheimer, and the guy said, you're pulling my
- 29:48leg. And she in real life though as Oppenheimer, she is a relative.
- 29:53She said she's a distant relative of Robert Oppenheimer, so she's got some
- 30:00you know, some juice in the game, if you will. She's related
- 30:03to the guy, and her name happens to be Barbara, So it probably
- 30:08would get old if you're telling people that your name is Barbara Oppenheimer. I
- 30:12mean that would be hard to believe. I don't know that you can.
- 30:15But if people are going on social media and bugging you, I think you
- 30:18could tell them to stop. I would get old. People should stop bugging
- 30:21people on social media. Period. That'll do it for this Tuesday edition the
