Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show, Tuesday.
0:11
Speaker 2: Morning, fifth of November. I'm Wes, thanks for joining me.
0:17
Speaker 2: Something seems like there's something going on today, something important.
0:20
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. This is this something
0:23
Speaker 2: that rings a bell about November fifth. It's just some huge,
0:33
Speaker 2: majorly consequential event taking place today. Election day is here
0:38
Speaker 2: and we are obviously with early voting, there has been
0:43
Speaker 2: a significant head start on this whole process. At this
0:53
Speaker 2: stage of the game. A lot of people have made
0:58
Speaker 2: have made a very conservative prediction of this can go
1:03
Speaker 2: either way. I mean, it's sort of the old and
1:09
Speaker 2: I don't like I don't want to join and believe me,
1:12
Speaker 2: I just this is just for the purposes of an analogy,
1:14
Speaker 2: because I really hate the I hate when people say, like, oh,
1:17
Speaker 2: the weather man doesn't never have to be right and
1:19
Speaker 2: they get to keep their job. That's not really true.
1:24
Speaker 2: I mean, that's an old school stereotype that goes into
1:28
Speaker 2: that as far as the job anyway, I mean, the
1:32
Speaker 2: reality is, yes, you predict the weather, sometimes you're right,
1:35
Speaker 2: sometimes you're wrong, and no, you shouldn't be fired for
1:39
Speaker 2: you know, hey, there's a twenty percent chance of rain
1:41
Speaker 2: and then it doesn't rain. I mean, I don't know
1:45
Speaker 2: why that would be a fireable offense in so many
1:48
Speaker 2: people's eyes. But anyway, I think the frustration comes when
1:53
Speaker 2: they say, oh, they closed schools down. Why did they
1:55
Speaker 2: close schools down today when it wasn't nearly as severe
1:58
Speaker 2: as we thought it might be. But I digress. I'm
2:01
Speaker 2: just making the point that, you know, if you were
2:05
Speaker 2: to make a weather prediction and say maybe it's gonna rain,
2:08
Speaker 2: maybe it's not. And I feel like that's the prediction
2:11
Speaker 2: that we're getting from a lot of people on how
2:14
Speaker 2: this is going to go for today, for election Day.
2:18
Speaker 2: There's a few concerns that I have and I think
2:22
Speaker 2: many people have them as well. I'm concerned that by
2:25
Speaker 2: this point tomorrow we may not know who's won. I
2:28
Speaker 2: think that's absurd. We have. We've gone from a from
2:34
Speaker 2: you know, days when we could know. I mean, when
2:37
Speaker 2: I was a kid, we knew, you know, it was
2:40
Speaker 2: you know, later that night. By the next morning, certainly
2:43
Speaker 2: it was pretty clear. And obviously we had the twenty
2:46
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, the two thousand fiasco with the hanging Chad's
2:50
Speaker 2: in Florida, and that was sort of the beginning of
2:52
Speaker 2: ONA We're going to turn into this illegal matter, and
2:55
Speaker 2: we're going to get Supreme courts involved, and we're going
2:57
Speaker 2: to do all this. Now we have entered into a phase. Well,
3:03
Speaker 2: we've had some states where there's been issues. There's been
3:06
Speaker 2: some election integrity issues and questions. I've already told you
3:11
Speaker 2: about some that have already taken place with this election.
3:15
Speaker 2: I do feel like I should give an update from
3:17
Speaker 2: yesterday's story about the fact that, you know, NBC did
3:21
Speaker 2: invite Kamala Harris to come on Saturday Night Live and
3:25
Speaker 2: make her, you know, into this, you know, clearly their
3:30
Speaker 2: candidate of choice, without offering up equal time to the
3:35
Speaker 2: other candidates they did. NBC did end up giving former
3:40
Speaker 2: President Trump some airtime during a couple of events. I
3:45
Speaker 2: guess one of them was the Sunday night football game.
3:51
Speaker 2: So that was part of the Mia culpa. I didn't
3:54
Speaker 2: realize that when I was telling you that yesterday. So
3:56
Speaker 2: that did take place.
3:57
Speaker 1: And.
3:59
Speaker 2: You know, it's a weird like, I think he probably
4:03
Speaker 2: would get more mileage out of his than hers in
4:06
Speaker 2: that case had she been on SNL A couple like
4:10
Speaker 2: a month ago. You know, maybe that would have been
4:13
Speaker 2: more beneficial. I just don't know who's watching SNL that's
4:16
Speaker 2: an undecided voter at this point. Like, I think that
4:19
Speaker 2: that's probably not overly beneficial. We already have court cases,
4:25
Speaker 2: we got some We talked about the situation in Georgia
4:29
Speaker 2: with those ballots that were they cast over the weekend
4:35
Speaker 2: after early voting stopped. I guess a judge has stepped in,
4:39
Speaker 2: and you know, we got to count all those votes,
4:41
Speaker 2: got gotta everybody's votes got to count. I don't know
4:44
Speaker 2: how that's all going to play out in the long run.
4:47
Speaker 2: I hope that many of these states that have challenges
4:52
Speaker 2: and legal cases coming that will get a very definitive outcome,
4:59
Speaker 2: hopefully by tonight, maybe by early tomorrow morning. But I
5:05
Speaker 2: don't know that by the time I do the show
5:09
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning, we're gonna know what the outcome is. I've
5:13
Speaker 2: had a number of people ask me to predict. I
5:15
Speaker 2: don't really like to do that. I haven't been very
5:18
Speaker 2: good at making predictions with it. I feel like as
5:24
Speaker 2: much as they're saying, hey, Harris currently has the momentum,
5:29
Speaker 2: I don't know that I believe that I don't know
5:31
Speaker 2: that that's an accurate portrayal of it. I feel like
5:35
Speaker 2: she did have the momentum. I think Trump eventually took
5:38
Speaker 2: that away from her. I think the McDonald's thing, the
5:41
Speaker 2: garbage truck thing, all of those sorts of things probably
5:44
Speaker 2: helped a lot for him. I don't know what Harris
5:49
Speaker 2: would have done that would have given her momentum, other
5:51
Speaker 2: than maybe they're feeling like her being on SNL somehow
5:54
Speaker 2: was of benefit. So what is the polling telling us
5:58
Speaker 2: and what are the numbers telling us? And this is
6:01
Speaker 2: really hard to break down, you know, but here's here's
6:06
Speaker 2: what here's what is. I would think with odds makers,
6:12
Speaker 2: the gambling folks have Trump at about sixty percent chance
6:15
Speaker 2: to win. When you start talking about the people who
6:18
Speaker 2: do not like to lose money, that is certainly something
6:24
Speaker 2: to keep an eye on. If that makes a drastic
6:27
Speaker 2: change early today, you know, if they see something and
6:31
Speaker 2: they start and those numbers start to change. But again,
6:34
Speaker 2: I don't know how much that's gonna matter. I think
6:37
Speaker 2: that in the end, we're probably looking at, you know,
6:41
Speaker 2: there's these battleground states that could go either way, and
6:45
Speaker 2: really we're looking at a situation where Pennsylvania is going
6:53
Speaker 2: to be big, and most of the polling shows Trump
6:56
Speaker 2: with a very small lead in Pennsylvania. And if Harris
7:01
Speaker 2: can't win Pennsylvania, I don't know that she can win
7:05
Speaker 2: enough of the other battle ground states to get her there.
7:09
Speaker 2: That seems to be the one that and it would
7:11
Speaker 2: be interesting if she were to lose Pennsylvania, lose the
7:15
Speaker 2: election Pennsylvania, if that had been enough to carry her
7:20
Speaker 2: across the finish line, it would be very interesting just
7:24
Speaker 2: for note for historians, for the alternate history people to say, oh,
7:28
Speaker 2: if she had picked Josh Shapiro, how differently could all
7:31
Speaker 2: of this have gone. So I do think we're talking
7:37
Speaker 2: about campaigns of the people that are voting Trump for
7:41
Speaker 2: the most part, you got a large base of people
7:44
Speaker 2: who love him. The people that are voting for Harris.
7:47
Speaker 2: I think the large base there or just they're not
7:50
Speaker 2: voting for her, they're voting against him. Historically, that's a
7:54
Speaker 2: positive for the candidate that has the large support base,
7:58
Speaker 2: and it's one of those you're on the mind of
8:01
Speaker 2: the other side too. Doesn't mean anything officially, because obviously
8:05
Speaker 2: this is going to come down maybe to you know,
8:11
Speaker 2: Georgia feels like it's leaning right, feels like it's leaning Trump.
8:15
Speaker 2: North Carolina feels like it's going that way. Questions are
8:19
Speaker 2: going to come down to Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin if Trump, like,
8:25
Speaker 2: if things kind of go the way they're expected in
8:27
Speaker 2: a lot of the solid red states and the mostly
8:32
Speaker 2: red states, I think we're looking at a situation where
8:36
Speaker 2: a and it looks like Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina all
8:42
Speaker 2: looking favorable for the former president. Okay, I'm not making
8:48
Speaker 2: any guarantees. I'm not making any bold predictions. I'm just
8:52
Speaker 2: telling you right now that that's where things seem to
8:56
Speaker 2: be leaning. Nevada could go his way. That's another thing
9:00
Speaker 2: that seems to be kind of pointing in that direction.
9:04
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how I feel about that, but let's
9:08
Speaker 2: just say if the three that seem to be leaning
9:10
Speaker 2: that way do go that way, Okay, then really we're
9:18
Speaker 2: looking at a situation for Trump where if he gets
9:23
Speaker 2: those states, and he gets all the heavy heavy reds
9:25
Speaker 2: and the mostly reds and mostly reds. You know we're
9:29
Speaker 2: talking about you know, Iowa. I know they say, well
9:32
Speaker 2: it might be in play that that's six right there,
9:35
Speaker 2: and people saying, oh my gosh, if Iowa flips h
9:38
Speaker 2: there's there's just as much of a chance Trump to win,
9:42
Speaker 2: maybe even more chance for Trump to win Nevada and
9:44
Speaker 2: get those six. But but just assuming Iowa holds Republican
9:50
Speaker 2: and you know the other mostly reds, the Texas is
9:53
Speaker 2: and the you know, Ohio holds where it is. And
9:59
Speaker 2: if Trump does does win Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Okay,
10:03
Speaker 2: that would put him at two sixty two. And then
10:09
Speaker 2: he doesn't even need Pennsylvania. He just needs Wisconsin, Michigan
10:13
Speaker 2: or Pennsylvania. Any one of those three and it's over.
10:17
Speaker 2: So that's one thing to kind of keep an eye
10:20
Speaker 2: on on the possibility of those states. And Trump is
10:23
Speaker 2: I think still leading in all three of those. I
10:26
Speaker 2: know it's all within the margin of era. I think
10:28
Speaker 2: Michigan maybe one of the polls had Harris up a
10:31
Speaker 2: little bit, but you know, any one of those three,
10:36
Speaker 2: and that would mean Harris would obviously need all three
10:40
Speaker 2: of those if she was going to win this thing,
10:45
Speaker 2: all three of them and without and that just if
10:48
Speaker 2: it breaks that way, that would put her at two
10:51
Speaker 2: seventy six. So but again she'd have to get all
10:56
Speaker 2: three of them, and there's no room for any anything else.
11:00
Speaker 2: If Trump takes Pennsylvania, it's over. If he takes either
11:03
Speaker 2: one of those other states, it's over at that point. Now,
11:06
Speaker 2: I realize that's making the assumption that Arizona, Georgia, North
11:10
Speaker 2: Carolina go his way, and there's no guarantee that that's
11:12
Speaker 2: going to happen. But those are the states I think
11:15
Speaker 2: he kind of have to be watching. And you have
11:17
Speaker 2: to know too, that Trump doesn't have to win Georgia
11:20
Speaker 2: to win it obviously makes it a little bit harder.
11:23
Speaker 2: He would definitely need to win, you know, Pennsylvania. He
11:28
Speaker 2: would definitely need to win. You know, Pennsylvania would help
11:33
Speaker 2: make up that difference if that were the case. And
11:38
Speaker 2: then he would also, you know, need a Nevada. I mean,
11:41
Speaker 2: Trump could win Nevada and Pennsylvania and not take Georgia
11:44
Speaker 2: and still get there. So now it's a question of
11:48
Speaker 2: how close is the polling. Now here's where some of
11:51
Speaker 2: the questions certainly have to be discussed. How is it
11:59
Speaker 2: possible that we have these battleground states that are still
12:03
Speaker 2: kind of drawing this, you know, within the margin of
12:05
Speaker 2: error fifty to fifty. Trump's light edge. They refer to
12:10
Speaker 2: the voters that don't want to speak up as the
12:13
Speaker 2: shy voters, the Trump shy voters, and the Harris shy voters.
12:19
Speaker 2: I think that the Harris campaign believes that they have
12:22
Speaker 2: some Harris shy voters. We know Trump has had shy
12:26
Speaker 2: voters in every single one of these contests. Are they
12:30
Speaker 2: still as strong as many potential to come out today
12:35
Speaker 2: as in the past. Do we think that there's any
12:40
Speaker 2: real possibility that the female shy voter who doesn't want
12:44
Speaker 2: to tell her husband that she wants to vote for
12:46
Speaker 2: Harris instead of Trump. I suppose there have to be
12:50
Speaker 2: some of those. Is it enough to change the outcome
12:53
Speaker 2: of the election? I don't know. I don't know that
12:57
Speaker 2: there's enough there. I certainly think the possibility of the
13:00
Speaker 2: Trump numbers, and I think many of the pollsters are
13:03
Speaker 2: saying that they think that they're certainly, you know, there's
13:09
Speaker 2: a bump to be had there for Trump based on that,
13:14
Speaker 2: just on that he doesn't poll well. And I'm going
13:17
Speaker 2: to be honest, I've gotten hundreds of calls or texts
13:23
Speaker 2: about polling, wanting me to participate, and I haven't responded
13:27
Speaker 2: truthfully to any of them. When I answer them it's
13:32
Speaker 2: usually you know, if I answer them, there's very heavy
13:36
Speaker 2: level of sarcasm in it. And that's just the way
13:40
Speaker 2: I've been for years. I don't trust the polling fully,
13:43
Speaker 2: and I think a lot of folks on the right don't.
13:48
Speaker 2: I realize in admitting that, you know, maybe you look
13:50
Speaker 2: at me and you go and I don't consider what
13:52
Speaker 2: I do here. I have moments where I've had to
13:55
Speaker 2: be a journalist. I don't this is opinion. You're listening
13:58
Speaker 2: to an opinion show. You're listening to somebody that asks questions.
14:02
Speaker 2: I do think that I have more journalistic integrity than
14:06
Speaker 2: many journalists when it comes to covering an issue that
14:10
Speaker 2: requires me to be a journalist. I've never, I don't
14:14
Speaker 2: know that I've ever identified myself as a journalist. Very
14:18
Speaker 2: rare exceptions would that be the case. But I certainly
14:22
Speaker 2: have tried to do that on matters of significant consequence
14:26
Speaker 2: where I needed to be a journalist. This is primarily
14:29
Speaker 2: opinion that you get from me, or at least me
14:31
Speaker 2: asking questions. So when it comes to looking at this breakdown,
14:39
Speaker 2: when it comes to looking at where things might go,
14:45
Speaker 2: you know, and maybe I have to throw my even
14:48
Speaker 2: slight bit of journalist credentials out the window when I say,
14:53
Speaker 2: you know, I do. I am a bit of an
14:54
Speaker 2: anarchist when it comes to those phone polls, partly because
14:57
Speaker 2: I really don't know where they're coming from. I don't
14:59
Speaker 2: know who they or, I don't know what's going on.
15:01
Speaker 2: And I want to know why you're bothering me? Why
15:02
Speaker 2: are you calling me at all? Leave me alone? How
15:05
Speaker 2: did you get my name? How did you get my number?
15:08
Speaker 2: That's what I want to know. So I do think
15:13
Speaker 2: that there is a room for a bump. I do
15:17
Speaker 2: think we have potential in a few states for some
15:21
Speaker 2: Shenanigans tonight, as the day progresses. I think that's another
15:26
Speaker 2: thing to keep an eye on. Sadly, I think Georgia
15:29
Speaker 2: has done a great job of trying to prevent that.
15:33
Speaker 2: I feel comfortable saying that if I were predicting where
15:35
Speaker 2: this is going for Georgia, I tend to agree with
15:39
Speaker 2: the folks saying that it is certainly leaning right. I
15:43
Speaker 2: feel pretty confident that North Carolina's probably there. As soon
15:47
Speaker 2: as we started hearing reports that Harris was, you know,
15:49
Speaker 2: pulling out money from North Carolina, that would certainly point
15:54
Speaker 2: in that direction. So, you know, again, the question becomes
15:59
Speaker 2: those states Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and I don't know enough really.
16:06
Speaker 2: I've seen some of the numbers for Arizona. I know
16:09
Speaker 2: that it certainly looks positive for Republicans. And keep in
16:15
Speaker 2: mind also that we're there's more going on here. We're
16:20
Speaker 2: looking at opportunity for Republicans to pick up seats in
16:24
Speaker 2: the House and the Senate. That's a tight race in
16:28
Speaker 2: Texas with Ted Cruz that Republicans are keeping a close
16:32
Speaker 2: eye on, a lot of money spent. There is basically
16:35
Speaker 2: a hit job on Ted Cruz. They can't stand him
16:39
Speaker 2: and they want him out, and they feel like that
16:42
Speaker 2: is someone that they've been able to try to focus on.
16:46
Speaker 2: Shared Brown in Ohio is one that Republicans think they
16:49
Speaker 2: could take. So it's there's a lot going on today,
16:55
Speaker 2: There's a lot going on in the next twenty four hours.
16:59
Speaker 2: And I just want to remind you that we have survived.
17:08
Speaker 2: In some cases, it's been very challenging, but we have
17:12
Speaker 2: survived the last four years. And just know that regardless
17:16
Speaker 2: of the outcome, if it doesn't go the way that
17:20
Speaker 2: if you're a Trump supporter and it doesn't go your way,
17:22
Speaker 2: if you're a hair supporter, it doesn't go your way.
17:25
Speaker 2: We're gonna all be all right. We got to learn
17:28
Speaker 2: to act a little better towards each other. But that's
17:30
Speaker 2: an ongoing thing, that's not just something for election day.
17:35
Speaker 2: So I just remind you of that, you know, And
17:39
Speaker 2: on a personal note, I believe in a God who's
17:41
Speaker 2: in control, and I think that ultimately, again we're gonna
17:46
Speaker 2: be all right. With that said, it's election day, and
17:53
Speaker 2: this is the time to step up. If you have
17:55
Speaker 2: not already voted, this is the time for you to
17:57
Speaker 2: get in and make sure. I don't think that George
18:03
Speaker 2: is necessarily a slam dunk. Maybe it is, but I
18:07
Speaker 2: think that you know, if you haven't voted, you need
18:10
Speaker 2: to get in and make sure that your vote is
18:12
Speaker 2: counted today. Because part of why I think we hear
18:17
Speaker 2: so much about these fifty to fifties is I think
18:20
Speaker 2: neither side wants to say, hey, we think we're pulling
18:22
Speaker 2: away with it. You can stay home, because that's not
18:25
Speaker 2: the case. They never want to say that. I know,
18:28
Speaker 2: we've got states that are solidly red and solidly blue,
18:32
Speaker 2: and people probably feel like in California, they don't really
18:35
Speaker 2: need to go in. People probably feel in Alabama that
18:38
Speaker 2: they don't have to go in and vote because you
18:40
Speaker 2: know it's probably locked in piece of cake. But the
18:44
Speaker 2: reality is, you know this is election day. If you
18:49
Speaker 2: didn't early vote, then you need to do it. Alabama
18:53
Speaker 2: didn't get to early vote. They don't do that. So
18:56
Speaker 2: if you're in Alabama, you need to make sure you
18:58
Speaker 2: go ahead, show up. Don't believe just oh it's just Red,
19:01
Speaker 2: we got it. Piece of cake. Even if that's true,
19:05
Speaker 2: doesn't mean you don't need to turn out. But if
19:07
Speaker 2: you're in Georgia and you're listening in Georgia, North Carolina, Texas,
19:12
Speaker 2: and you're able to show out, especially they're in Texas
19:16
Speaker 2: for Ted Cruz, that's a big one in any of
19:19
Speaker 2: these battleground states. I don't know how many people we
19:21
Speaker 2: have listening right now in Wisconsin, Michigan, or Pennsylvania. But again,
19:28
Speaker 2: this is your time, this is your time, this is
19:32
Speaker 2: the day. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State
19:35
Speaker 2: University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the
19:41
Speaker 2: youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that
19:46
Speaker 2: really of all ages. I mean, they do it for
19:49
Speaker 2: school age kids as school age kids visit the Coca
19:52
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through
19:54
Speaker 2: their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physic
20:00
Speaker 2: and the careers in space and stem fields are booming
20:04
Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
20:08
Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
20:15

Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School
20:23
Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
20:26
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
20:31
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
20:32
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
20:36
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
20:42
Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
20:46
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
20:49
Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows
20:53
Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
20:57
Speaker 2: Where you can get outside, sometimes you do it at
20:59
Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
21:04
Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
21:06
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night
21:08
Speaker 2: events also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As
21:13
Speaker 2: Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I
21:18
Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
21:21
Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
21:26
Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
21:29
Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
21:35
Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
21:38
Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
21:42
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
21:46
Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
21:48
Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
21:51
Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
21:53
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
21:57
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
22:00
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
22:02
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
22:06
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
22:09
Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or
22:12
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
22:16
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
22:18
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
22:22
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
22:24
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
22:28
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
22:30
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
22:33
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
22:34
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
22:37
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
22:41
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
22:43
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
22:46
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, And they do
22:49
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five

Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Mornings right after
23:00
Speaker 2: the break. Well, if you're the kind of person who
23:11
Speaker 2: has trouble sleeping, apparently researchers are working on a device
23:18
Speaker 2: that could actually help you get to sleep. Yes, a
23:23
Speaker 2: simple handheld device, nothing inserted in your body or anything.
23:28
Speaker 2: Researchers at University of Arizona developing a gadget that uses
23:31
Speaker 2: magnetic pulses to quiet those thoughts that keep you awake.
23:36
Speaker 2: Sounds at a little iffy. I know, I get it.
23:39
Speaker 2: I'm with you. The device targets the brain's default mode network,
23:43
Speaker 2: the DMN, you know, which is kind of similar to
23:47
Speaker 2: a word I say when I can't sleep and I
23:50
Speaker 2: just think, man, I just want to go to sleep.
23:53
Speaker 2: It says that's responsible for all that internal chatter. In
23:56
Speaker 2: forty seconds, it sends rapid magnetic burst to specific brain reachions,
24:00
Speaker 2: effectively silencing the noise and helping you drift off to sleep.
24:05
Speaker 2: No drugs, no invasive treatments, just a little zap and
24:09
Speaker 2: you're off to dreamland. I got questions, I got concerns.
24:14
Speaker 2: I also kind of think it's interesting. I mean, I'd
24:18
Speaker 2: like to know what more information about this research in
24:20
Speaker 2: this possible device. I get a little nervous. Sounds a
24:24
Speaker 2: little bit scary, sounds a lot scary. But if it
24:27
Speaker 2: works and it can help you stop, you know, mindlessly
24:33
Speaker 2: running through all the things that you should have said
24:35
Speaker 2: in conversations earlier, or thinking about something that happened that
24:38
Speaker 2: embarrassed you when you were in kindergarten or whatever. In
24:42
Speaker 2: the meantime, until it's developed, I just have to do
24:44
Speaker 2: what I normally do, and that's imagine myself building a
24:47
Speaker 2: deck or a cabin or something. That's what I have
24:50
Speaker 2: to try to do. I have no carpentry skills, so
24:53
Speaker 2: it's really a challenge for me to do that. If
24:55
Speaker 2: your social life is stagnant, you're not alone. A new
24:57
Speaker 2: survey found thirty seven percent of response it said that
25:00
Speaker 2: they were stuck in a rut socially. Thirty nine percent
25:03
Speaker 2: said they haven't made a new friend and over a year.
25:06
Speaker 2: Thirty eight percent said that they hadn't been to a
25:08
Speaker 2: party in more than six months. Fifty nine percent said
25:11
Speaker 2: that it's been over a year since they've gone to
25:14
Speaker 2: a concert with a friend, and forty four percent said
25:17
Speaker 2: that they haven't vacation with friends in a year, and
25:21
Speaker 2: when they do get together, they are bored with doing
25:25
Speaker 2: the same things like getting drinks, going shopping, or binge
25:28
Speaker 2: watching TV shows or movies. With that said, seventy six
25:32
Speaker 2: percent said they wanted to spend more quality time with
25:35
Speaker 2: their friends. That'd be nice. We are entering that time
25:39
Speaker 2: of year where it's very dark, very early, and you
25:43
Speaker 2: know people have that tendency to sort of so there's
25:47
Speaker 2: that spending time with friends can help. We all know
25:50
Speaker 2: teens spend a lot of time on their phones, and
25:52
Speaker 2: new survey reveals just how much time. The CDC survey
25:56
Speaker 2: found that half of American teens spend at least four
25:59
Speaker 2: hours a day staring at a screen. Older teens fifteen
26:01
Speaker 2: to seventeen get more screen time each day than those
26:05
Speaker 2: age twelve to fourteen, Researchers with the CDC saying that
26:09
Speaker 2: as technology has become more integrated into teenagers' lives, the
26:13
Speaker 2: time spent in front of the screens has continued to
26:15
Speaker 2: rise in the US enduote. Of course, there's some problems
26:20
Speaker 2: with associated with more screen time. Researchers have found that
26:23
Speaker 2: teens who had four more hours per day on screen
26:26
Speaker 2: time were more likely to experience anxiety and depression and
26:29
Speaker 2: maybe not spend time with their friends, vacationing or whatever.
26:34
Speaker 2: Maybe not vacationing, but you know what I mean. So
26:39
Speaker 2: how important is healthcare when deciding on a job? So
26:42
Speaker 2: much so that one in three people surveyed recently said
26:44
Speaker 2: that they would turn down their dream job if the
26:46
Speaker 2: company did not offer good health care benefits. Seventy three
26:50
Speaker 2: percent said healthcare was a crucial factor when job hunting.
26:54
Speaker 2: Sixty three percent wouldn't be afraid to ask about their
26:57
Speaker 2: benefit options during a job interview, for saying that they'd
27:01
Speaker 2: even change jobs if the employer offered better healthcare options
27:04
Speaker 2: than what they currently have. Many believing that their current
27:07
Speaker 2: employers are skimping on healthcare benefits forty two percent feeling
27:11
Speaker 2: their bosses only offer the bare minimum. That's the case sometimes,
27:16
Speaker 2: I mean often it's the bare minimum on your salary
27:19
Speaker 2: and other things, all right. The search for alien life
27:23
Speaker 2: on other planets never stops. A new discovery putting a
27:26
Speaker 2: lot of new attention on Uranus. That's the only reason
27:30
Speaker 2: I'm doing the story. Scientists examining Uranus have discovered new
27:34
Speaker 2: information that suggests the moon orbiting the giant planet may
27:39
Speaker 2: contain enough natural resources to support life. The moon, named Miranda,
27:44
Speaker 2: appears to have water hidden below its surface. Planetary scientist
27:49
Speaker 2: Tom Nordheim calling the discovery remarkable and saying it helps
27:54
Speaker 2: build on the story that some of these moons at
27:57
Speaker 2: Uranus may be really interesting. There may be several ocean
28:01
Speaker 2: worlds around one of those distant planets in our solar system,
28:04
Speaker 2: which is both exciting and bizarre. A lot more research
28:08
Speaker 2: needs to be done to determine whether they may be
28:11
Speaker 2: actual life on Uranus the moon specifically, and it's the
28:17
Speaker 2: story just gets better, I mean, it rights itself. But
28:20
Speaker 2: new findings are described as more important in step toward
28:24
Speaker 2: getting there to studying Uranus's moon. So there's that. We
28:31
Speaker 2: did a great story on this may be coming to
28:33
Speaker 2: Made of Stars this week on Thursday when we dropped
28:37
Speaker 2: the new episode for this week the mat of Star's
28:40
Speaker 2: podcast wherever you get this podcast, that's where that podcast
28:43
Speaker 2: is as well. But we did a story on last
28:46
Speaker 2: week's show about Titan, one of Saturn's moons that has
28:49
Speaker 2: some indicators of potential life. If you want to really
28:52
Speaker 2: dive into this without all the Uranus and moon jokes,
28:56
Speaker 2: there's a little bit more of it they're waiting for
28:57
Speaker 2: you on the latest episode of Made of Stars. That'll
29:00
Speaker 2: do it for this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks
29:03
Speaker 2: to our sponsors and patrons, Thank you for listening. Vote
29:09
Speaker 2: if you haven't already, gotta do it, gotta get it done.
29:12
Speaker 2: Just do it. Tell your boss you're going to be
29:13
Speaker 2: late or whatever you gotta do. Tell them you've got diarrhea.
29:17
Speaker 2: I don't know. Whatever you got to do to stall
29:19
Speaker 2: and give yourself time. Some people don't want to tell
29:21
Speaker 2: their boss they're going to vote. Whatever you got to do.
29:23
Speaker 2: They don't want to hear about your diarrhea. So just
29:25
Speaker 2: say it and then go vote. Whatever it takes. Get
29:29
Speaker 2: out there, do your thing, and let's see how if
29:32
Speaker 2: maybe by this point tomorrow we know the end result.
29:35
Speaker 2: I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
