  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Wednesday morning at twenty ninth day of April. I'm West
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: thanks for joining me. This has been a strange April
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: considering and I know, we finally got some rain and
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: that's one of the things that April's known for. And
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: we got some here in the Southeast yesterday and the
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: temperatures dropped. It was chili like in the fifties or whatever.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: That's odd. I mean, having almost a whole month with
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: no rain or minimal rain is odd for April. For
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, like I said, with something you're
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: known for, we're just not going to have any made
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: flowers because that's what it leads to.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: We had a strange April, that is what I'm saying.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: With the limited rain and then suddenly chilli. I'll take it.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I'll take a colder like a true sort of spring
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: where it kind of fluctuates. We got that in the fall.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: You know, we had a real fall last year and
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: we're getting kind of a real spring. And I know
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: we've had Aprils in the past where we've had snow
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and things at the beginning of the month, and that
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: was always strange whenever you have that. But this has
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: just been a nice little break from where it's heading.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: It's Georgia. We know what happens. It gets hot, it boils,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: and that's what we deal with. But it was a
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: little bit of a break from all of the impending
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: severe weather that's coming. The other thing that's been weird
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: about this month to me and tell me if you're
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: experiencing this as well, but month kind of zipped by,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and now this last week it's just been like a
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: slow grind and I don't know what happened. I'll take it,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: considering how quickly it felt like it went through the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: first three weeks of the month. But anyway, I'll take it.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I'll take the cooler weather. I'm not complaining. It's been
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: a nice little break from what we've been dealing with.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: A couple things to talk about today. Yesterday after the show,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I went to a press conference with Rick Jackson, who
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: is the current front runner in the state of Georgia
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: for the Republican nomination for governor.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: It has been a really.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Messy, a really really messy fight for this nomination between
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the two leading candidates, Bert Jones, who is the attorney
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, the lieutenant governor. The attorney general is running
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Chris Carr. He's in there, but Carr has kind of
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: been out of the fray for the most part. But
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: it's one of those things where when you get in
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: a true heated race, sometimes the two people at the
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: top of the ticket really start, you know, lobbing the insults. Now,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the other thing that sometimes happens is people will lob
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: the insults from the bottom, and I haven't seen that
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: from Chris Carr. I haven't really heard much about Brad
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Raffensberger's campaign. I know he's in there, right, but Burt
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Jones Rick Jackson appear to at least be headed in
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the direction of that runoff whether or not either one
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: of these two guys can get the necessary votes to
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: win the nomination outright. And it's I had a chance
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: yesterday at the press event just to talk with with Rick.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Good conversation. I you know, those four candidates that I've mentioned,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I've met all of them, I've talked with all of them.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: You know the things that they all have very different
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: stories in how they got to this place that they're
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: in as far as running for governor. I heard from
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the UH must have been from the debate and most
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: recent debate. You know, Bert Jones, he made a great
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: point while it's it's kind of one of those points
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: where he's making a good point while he's also i think,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: you know, boosting his resume a little bit, which you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: that's what you do. That's the whole purpose of it.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Many of us just boost our resume on a daily conversation.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: We're just constantly talking about what we do, what we've accomplished.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I think I don't remember if I talked about this,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: but I know someone who passed away kind of in
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years and his obituary was which
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: he was sick for a while, so I think he
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: probably was involved with putting his obituary together and it
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: read like a resume. And you know, that's how some
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: people are. That's what they do. They just sort of
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: identify what they do as far as who they are.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: But anyway, I think that this answer that Bert Jones
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: gave in this debate was or it was part of
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: an answer he was given to a question, but he
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: just said, look, our governor now Brian Kemp has put
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: us all in a great position, and whoever it takes
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: over as governor next is going to be inheriting a
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: good place. It becomes a case of you know what
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: you're going to do with it now. He's coming at
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: that as I've been lieutenant governor for a term and
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: part of that, and he is you know, you can't
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: take his role from that away from him. But Jackson's
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: story is different, and it's you know, he's he's not
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: gotten the Trump endorsement that Bert Jones has gotten, but
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: he he has a kind of Trump like story with
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: and he talks about that a lot, some of the
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: comparisons that he's he's had. But talked at the event
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: yesterday just about trying to give the Georgian's voice that
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: they haven't had. And in conversation and I asked him
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: about the attack ads. I think, to me, one of
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the things when you get into a really nasty campaign
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: and and this has been one of those situations where
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: it has been bad and just to the point where
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: you see the and and it doesn't you see the
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: ads on TV, you get the mailers and and it's
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: been a countless amount of mailers that have come, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: it's to the point where I just want to wanted
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to wish I'd collected them all and then said, by
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the way, here's your mailers. Back to any of these
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: guys that are sending and the ones that have sent
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: out one or two, I think I've gotten one from Raffensberger,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: and I think I've gotten maybe three or four from
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: car that's reasonable. These other guys, man, they're hitting it
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: every day, but this is it. They want the nomination,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: they'd like to be governor.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: I get that.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: And they're investing, you know, in some cases their money.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: They're putting money into it. That's what you do, and
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: it's good for postage. It's good to keep those as
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: far as the post office keep them operational. But he
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: basically when I asked him about the campaign, the negative campaign,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and he's coming from a business background, so when you
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: get into this, I said, you know what my question
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I like to ask this is, you know, what have
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: you learned about this process and what have you learned
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: about yourself from it.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: It's the surprise of just making up something. I mean,
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: everything that you see on our edge. We have a
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: source for my attorneys won't let me make up stuff. Okay.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: So from that standpoint, I just asked one question. I
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: learned this through going through psychiatry a long time ago, okay,
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: and that is this, when somebody attacks me or criticizes me,
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: I only ask one question, is it true or not?
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: If it's true, I'll probably get mad about it. If
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: it's not, I don't care. He's the only one I
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: care about, and he knows what the truth is.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: And he said, you know, when you draw first blood
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: with me, I'm going to end it. And I think
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: that's the way he's handled it. Those two guys have
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: really slugged it out, and I think it does prepare
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: you for the next stage of where things are heading. Whoever,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: whichever of these candidates gets it, and it certainly seems
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: like it will likely be one of these two guys,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: and they're going to face a candidate on the left
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: who has had it easy. Whoever it's going to be,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I think it's you know, we know likely where it's headed,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: but it's going to be one of those situations where
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: they're going to come into this prepared, ready to go,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: and you know, ready for a fight. And I think
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: what we see sometimes is that candidates that don't go
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: through a primary process aren't ready for that fight. We
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: saw it with Kamala Harris, and it wasn't like she
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: was even part of a pri She was part of
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: a primary previously, but she was a part of a
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: primary to run for president this time, and it just
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: got handed to her by a party that said that
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: the right is the one trying to take away democracy.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: They're want to end democracy. But they just handed Kamala
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Harris a nomination and she wasn't ready.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: She had gone through some.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Of that process in a very short lived failed race
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: for the nomination when Joe Biden and others absolutely cleaned
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: her clock right at the very beginning. She never had
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: a chance, and she was one of the first, if
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: not the first one out, And but she coming at
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: it as someone who wanted to throw mud, and she
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: went after Biden, and you know, they were able to
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: patch things up and she was the best pick for VP.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I still maintain it's because she was the best useful idiot.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: But they worked things out and made things happen, and
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: she she you know, got handed the vice presidency that
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: nobody was voting on that ticket because of her. I
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: think they were I remember saying this. There are people
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: who say that they're voting on that ticket because of her,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: and most of them are lying. I just I can't
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: believe that there was anyone going. I mean, there aren't
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: many people who are voting based on the VP pick.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: That's just not the reality. It's never really been the
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: reality is what it is, though, But you know, we
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: move forward with this process. Early voting has begun for
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: us here and so many different ways to vote. Everybody
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: criticized the way that they made some changes and made
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: it more accessible to people, getting people off the rolls
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: that have or deceased. It shouldn't be voting, that shouldn't
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: have an opportunity to vote. I don't know if they've
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: taken care of those places where you know, you got
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: a thousand people registered to vote in the parking lot
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: of a church or whatever. Hopefully we're moving on from
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: all of those things. It's been really unfortunate and really
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: sad that we have been the state that has had
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: that ugly blemish going on in parts of Atlanta over
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: and over and over again. I think maybe we've moved on.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I certainly hope so. But it was good to talk
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: with with Rick yesterday, good to catch up with some others.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: And when I pointed out, there was one person in
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: particular who was there, and I pointed out that this
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: thing about the way the Democrat candidates aren't really you know,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: getting battle tested, getting ready for this next phase of it.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: And one of the other media people who was there said, yeah,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: but alsof's gonna have like fifty three million dollar war
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: chest to move forward. He's not running for governor. It's
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: a different conversation altogether. But you know, all right, whatever,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: but you know, you're in a room full of people
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: that have their their focus and their hopes and their
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: wildest dreams for where all these things are headed. But anyway,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: it was a good event yesterday. I was glad that
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I was able to talk with Rick. And we'll see
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: where this pans out as we move forward. And you know,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I think we have I think we do have some good,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: good candidate. I think we've got three solid candidates in
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: there that could be governor. That's what I think.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: All on that side, I don't know.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I'm one of those people that says, I get you
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: could be mayor of Atlanta, and that's okay, that's impressive.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I just don't know what that means for the rest
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: of the state. I don't know what it means for
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: the farmers. And there's a lot of agriculture in this
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: state and a long history of that, and I just
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: don't know where that where that goes and what that
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: could mean. I wanted to go back and touch on
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: something from we've been talking about the last couple of days,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: because this Jimmy Kimmel thing has well a couple of things.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Kimmel responded and to the first Lady and the President's
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: calls for his NBC, I'm sorry, ABC and Disney to
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: release him and again and basically kim will response to
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: all of this from them, because we'll go back. The
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: comments that he made were before. It was a couple
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: of days before the attempted assassination on Saturday on his
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: show where he was doing sort of a mock satirical
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: look at the correspondence dinner, and he just said that
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Milania had the glow of a had the glow of
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: an expectant widow. That's what he said, and of course,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: you know two days later, that alone is when there's
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: been multiple assassination attempts of Trump. I think you leave
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: that let alone, he had a defense. I think he
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: probably had a defense planned. But it certainly you know,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: when two days later someone tries to kill the president,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: it's a bad, bad look when you've already been in trouble.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: And I think these guys maybe want to be martyrs.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know. We're a couple of.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Days, We're weeks away or days away or whatever it
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: is from Stephen Colbert going away, and I don't see
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: that it's a it was a business decision. I don't
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: see the Colbert situation being a you know, maybe there
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: was some pressure from the FCC, maybe there was some
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: pressure behind the scenes from the Trump administration.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: But these networks have to make a decision on their
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: own about what they're going to do. And honestly, if
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: you have someone on your network that is using airtime
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: exclusively to promote one party, it's not the spirit of
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: what these networks are there for. So Kimmel's response, he
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: basically said that he opposes gun violence, and everybody know.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Everybody knows I oppose gun violence. But he said the
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: joke was about their age difference and it wasn't about violence,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: and that he says he kind of offered some sympathy
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: about the shooting, but it was in the midst of
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: making jokes still, and he was just saying that he
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: didn't mean anything about it. He wasn't calling for violence.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: But now at this point, if he continues to have
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: a show, he should now know better. Right, just cut
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: it out. It's the joke's not even funny. Okay, So
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: he's old, she's young. Ha ha.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: What's the joke there.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I don't understand what the joke is there. It's he's
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: a Hollywood guy. There's a lot of that in Hollywood now. Also,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: the FCC basically is telling Disney that eight of their
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: ABC owned stations need to renew their broadcast licenses ahead
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: of schedule. So here comes that pressure from the FCC.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: But again this is in the spirit of the public
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: interest standards. So basically, Disney, the broadcast licenses for these
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: stations work due until twenty twenty eight, but the FCC
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: wants those stations this is New York, LA, Chicago, Philadelphia
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: and others to file within thirty days, citing a review
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: of whether they meet the agency's public interest standards. So
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: we'll see how all of that plays out moving forward. Haha, Jimmy.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca

• 17:44
  Speaker 2: kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space

  Speaker 2: Science Center, but they also do it through their university

• 18:20
  Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.

• 18:27

• 18:54
  Speaker 2: the Co Cola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
• 19:00

  Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space

  Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: to be, and you need some repair work done to
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's make a noise when your garage
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thorty five eight forty five

  Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: after the break. Well, this sounds like the ultimate vacation
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: scenario for introverts.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: There's not.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's some vacation scenarios that are perfect for introverts, but.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: There doesn't seem to be a lot of them.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of mingling and interacting and all of
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: these things, and it can be a bit much for
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: those of us who have those introvert tendencies.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: I know most people that know me.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Tend to think of me as being very much an extrovert.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I have this wonderful blend I think of both. I
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: can certainly bring the extrovert qualities, but I do need
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: a lot of time to recharge and refuel. I need
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: that downtime, I need that quiet time just to recharge.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: That's the introvert side of things. But this seems like
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: it's a perfect kind of idea. Sure, the introverts are
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: the one who came up with this. So basically, there's
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: people who don't want to go on vacation and mingle
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: and small talk and all of those things. They'd be
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: just as happy relaxing with a book. Reading retreats are
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: becoming a real travel trend. Gen Z has popularized this apparently,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: so instead of packing itineraries and lots of socializing, the
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: trip center on quiet time, nature, books, low pressure connection,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: scenic settings dedicated to reading hours, some yoga, casual discussions
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: maybe about what you're reading. But the appeal goes a
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: little deeper than the books. It's about the desire to
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: slow down without guilt for doing it. Many young travelers
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: see a reading retreat as something to focus on rest
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: with some creat activity and calm, being just what the
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: doctor ordered. Yeah, yeah, sometimes that's just what you need.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: There is that guilt that comes with kind of not
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: giving in, not caving in to the pressure and you know,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: having to constantly be interacting with somebody.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: So good for these people.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Do what you enjoy, sure vacation, your time off from work.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Make the most of it, That's what I say. Little
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Caesars taking pizza delivery.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: To new heights.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: The chain has teamed up with a drone company called
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: fly Treks to start flying full family meals through the sky.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Thanks to fly Treks's new sky Too drone, it can
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: carry about nine pounds. Customers in Wiley, Texas can now
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: order two large pizzas, drinks and sides. And have them
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: dropped off by drone in about four and a half minutes.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: The drone travels up to four miles and is designed
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: for heavier loads. So the idea of hot pizza flying
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: through your neighborhood sounds a little crazy. You know, less traffic,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: less cars, less road pollution, noise pollution. I guess maybe
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: you get the year. I don't know what's doing it
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: sounds pretty good, sounds good to me. I'm for it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I'm all for it. I think once we get to
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: a we get to a full drone delivery system, it
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: will be fewer cars on the road clogging up space.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: I get it. There's people that do this work.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: I've got friends that deliver food, so I understand there
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: is an importance to that as far as it being
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: part of the economy.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: But it's where things are going.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: But you know, if it's just about delivering some pizza,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: I get it. I understand why Little Caesars is doing it.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Does Little Caesars normally deliver? I don't know that they
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: really deliver, so I don't know this is taking a job.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: It's maybe taken a job from like a door dasher,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: I guess. But all right, the electric car market been
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: all over the place. Current sales of EV seem to
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: have leveled off, the technology improving though, with prices going down,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: which means we may be in a bit of a
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Goldilocks moment where things are just right to switch from
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: gas to electric.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: They've said that before.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: About five years ago, finding that car that could travel
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty miles for under forty thousand dollars
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: was nearly impossible. But today more than a dozen models
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: will hit that mark, which means the days of anxiety
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: range or range anxiety, depending on how you say it
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: could be coming to an end. And twenty twenty six
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Nissan Leaf, for example, a sticker price of thirty two
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars offers of range of over three hundred miles.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: That's a huge leap from the eighty four mile range
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: that it had just ten years ago. So, I mean
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: gas prices are high, They're still not as high as
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: they were in twenty twenty two, in spite of what
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: people are trying to tell you. It doesn't mean it's okay,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: they're still high, but just a reminder a lot of
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: the people complaining right now weren't complaining four years ago.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: That's that's all. That'll do it for this Wednesday edition
• 26:19
