A Socialist Mayor In NY Would Be a Disaster · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

0:01
Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews you need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. This is the West Carol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, June twenty sixth Time West. Thanks for joining me.
0:15
Speaker 2: The sun is just coming up on the horizon here
0:19
Speaker 2: in northern Queensland as we continue our vacation here in Australia,
0:27
Speaker 2: and then tomorrow I'll be doing the show here again
0:29
Speaker 2: and then heading up the coast where we'll be going
0:33
Speaker 2: to a city called Cans. We would pronounce it Cairns.
0:39
Speaker 2: That would be incorrect though, but the spelling Cairns, but
0:46
Speaker 2: the Australians and there ours they would pronounce it Cans,
0:48
Speaker 2: which is what they call it. And we'll be going
0:51
Speaker 2: up there for the weekend where we'll be doing some
0:54
Speaker 2: snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef. Looking forward to that.
0:57
Speaker 2: I've done that a couple of times before, but never
1:00
Speaker 2: up in Cans where apparently the reef is just a
1:03
Speaker 2: little bit nicer than it is here in Townsville a
1:07
Speaker 2: little further south, So looking forward to a different perspective
1:11
Speaker 2: there on the Great Barrier Reef. Yesterday part of our
1:16
Speaker 2: adventures involved going for a swim. I've told you multiple
1:20
Speaker 2: times it is significantly cooler here than it is there,
1:26
Speaker 2: although we did get up to about eighty five yesterday.
1:29
Speaker 2: So we decided to go for a winter swim in
1:32
Speaker 2: a very cold swimming pool. But we felt like, hey,
1:36
Speaker 2: we're near the coast, right, We're right here on the coast,
1:40
Speaker 2: and we've actually gone out and explored the beaches but
1:45
Speaker 2: didn't really get into the water more than our feet
1:48
Speaker 2: where it was pretty cold. So checking out a swimming
1:51
Speaker 2: pool here was nice. Yesterday the boys at least got
1:53
Speaker 2: some swimming in. I mean, it's summer vacation. You expect
1:57
Speaker 2: to do some swimming. You come to the Southern Hymn
2:00
Speaker 2: sphere and you try to enjoy it. It'll be a little
2:02
Speaker 2: bit warmer as we go up the coast to Cans
2:05
Speaker 2: and hopefully the ocean is going to be nice for
2:08
Speaker 2: us to get into it. Those wetsuits better do their
2:11
Speaker 2: jobs and let us really do our snorkeling as we
2:14
Speaker 2: go up. So we're here on this Thursday morning here
2:19
Speaker 2: together and as of recording time, I guess things are
2:24
Speaker 2: holding up on the ceasefire. That's good. I've seen the
2:27
Speaker 2: reports that some there have been some I guess executions
2:32
Speaker 2: that have taken place in Iran for people that have
2:35
Speaker 2: been accused of being Zionist spies. It's horrible. You hate
2:39
Speaker 2: to hear that. And I guess that doesn't violate any
2:42
Speaker 2: sort of ceasefire if they're just keeping it within house.
2:49
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about the people who've been accused
2:51
Speaker 2: of being Zionist spies, but they have been I guess
2:55
Speaker 2: taking care of things on their own within their own
2:59
Speaker 2: people there. And that's basically the latest that we have
3:03
Speaker 2: here this morning. And I'm just reminding you again, I'm
3:06
Speaker 2: recording this on the morning of Thursday, the twenty sixth.
3:10
Speaker 2: It's still late in the day for you there on
3:14
Speaker 2: the twenty fifth as I'm recording this, So again I
3:20
Speaker 2: think I've sorted out the release time for these shows
3:23
Speaker 2: so that you're still catching them in the morning. And
3:26
Speaker 2: I appreciate you for still listening and enduring some of
3:30
Speaker 2: my Australia talk.
3:32
Speaker 1: This is.
3:34
Speaker 2: A very infrequent trip that we make as a family
3:37
Speaker 2: because it can be quite expensive to come here. It
3:40
Speaker 2: is a very long trip. On this particular instance, we
3:44
Speaker 2: found a really good deal on the flights, so the
3:47
Speaker 2: length of the trip, especially with our departure from the States,
3:51
Speaker 2: getting out of Atlanta into La to get down here
3:55
Speaker 2: has been a little bit more of a hassle than
3:58
Speaker 2: the expense of the trip thus far. But we still
4:03
Speaker 2: have to see how the trip home goes, and maybe
4:06
Speaker 2: that won't be quite as long. I do want to
4:09
Speaker 2: talk a little bit about the heat wave that's going
4:11
Speaker 2: on in the States, because apparently yesterday up in the
4:16
Speaker 2: New York area it got up above one hundred degrees
4:21
Speaker 2: and if I'm converting it right here for the Australian listeners,
4:25
Speaker 2: that's about forty centimeters. So I don't know US Americans
4:31
Speaker 2: and our English versus metric anyway, whenever I'm trying to
4:37
Speaker 2: convert temperatures here, I just eventually, I mean, you can
4:40
Speaker 2: do the math, and I've got my math with sons
4:43
Speaker 2: that are quick to do the math and calculate it
4:45
Speaker 2: for me. But I just try to tell people here, yeah,
4:48
Speaker 2: back home, it's about forty degrees celsius, and they say,
4:52
Speaker 2: oh wow, that's really hot, so and actually warmer than
4:56
Speaker 2: that I guess in New York yesterday. And I just
4:58
Speaker 2: want to point this out because you know, in the
5:01
Speaker 2: South we just had our big snow this past winter,
5:07
Speaker 2: and people laugh at us and they have a really
5:09
Speaker 2: good time at our expense about how we don't know
5:11
Speaker 2: how to tolerate and how we don't know how to
5:13
Speaker 2: handle the cold weather. And that's fair, I understand. I
5:18
Speaker 2: get that that's a completely reasonable thing for people to
5:22
Speaker 2: point out when they laugh at us and they say, Haha,
5:25
Speaker 2: you guys are really terrible at driving in it. Yeah,
5:27
Speaker 2: we don't have a lot of experience in it. I
5:29
Speaker 2: don't think that's a that's a very unrealistic thing for
5:33
Speaker 2: us to have an issue with. But when we get
5:35
Speaker 2: to this time of year when it's summertime and it's
5:38
Speaker 2: one hundred degrees in New York City and everybody there
5:41
Speaker 2: starts freaking out, and you know, they're all opening every
5:45
Speaker 2: window and hanging out of windows, and they're walking around
5:48
Speaker 2: shirtless or whatever they're.
5:49
Speaker 3: I don't know.
5:50
Speaker 2: I don't know what they do there anymore. It's been
5:51
Speaker 2: a long time since I've been to New York. I
5:54
Speaker 2: just want to point out that they don't seem to
5:55
Speaker 2: understand how to deal with heat. So, for all the
5:59
Speaker 2: laugh sure that you have with us with the cold weather,
6:02
Speaker 2: you guys don't do very well with the heat up
6:05
Speaker 2: in the Northeast. That's all I want to point out
6:07
Speaker 2: and as many parts of the country where there's just
6:10
Speaker 2: a lot of issues with the heat, and yes, we
6:14
Speaker 2: struggle with the cold, but I would just also like
6:17
Speaker 2: to point out when it's hot and you guys are
6:20
Speaker 2: on the roads and you're driving, and I'm not necessarily
6:22
Speaker 2: talking about the people who take you know, trains and
6:26
Speaker 2: things subways in New York. I'm talking about the people
6:29
Speaker 2: who are in maybe out of the city that are
6:31
Speaker 2: trying to drive around. There's nothing on the roads when
6:35
Speaker 2: it's hot that's stopping you from driving. Ice on the
6:39
Speaker 2: roads for us is challenging. So I think that's a
6:43
Speaker 2: much more reasonable side to be on. I know I'm
6:45
Speaker 2: a bit of a Southern homer in that regard, but
6:48
Speaker 2: I'm just pointing out the fact that, yes, it is
6:51
Speaker 2: significantly easier to drive in the heat that it is.
6:56
Speaker 2: And if you got black leather seats, all right, that's
6:59
Speaker 2: as close as you're gonna get to have an ice
7:00
Speaker 2: on the roads if you're living up there. Speaking of
7:03
Speaker 2: New York, what I want to talk about this morning
7:06
Speaker 2: is this win by a socialist and now the oh,
7:13
Speaker 2: I've got a helicopter going overhead. Now it's not quite
7:18
Speaker 2: as nice as the birds. But I'm I'm in a path.
7:22
Speaker 2: We're not We're not really close to the airport, but
7:24
Speaker 2: we are in a flight path for the airport, So
7:26
Speaker 2: we do I have out here doing the show in
7:29
Speaker 2: the mornings. Had some planes go overhead, quantas flights go overhead.
7:32
Speaker 2: Now a helicopter going overhead. So back to New York.
7:37
Speaker 2: The UH now candidate on the Democrat ticket for mayor
7:44
Speaker 2: in New York as zoron mob Donnie. He's a an
7:50
Speaker 2: immigrant from Uganda, now an American citizen, and he is
7:54
Speaker 2: the candidate and what in the past, I guess would
7:57
Speaker 2: have been presumptive favor winner for the mayoral race in
8:03
Speaker 2: New York. Normally you win that Democrat ticket and it's
8:07
Speaker 2: pretty easy to win. Republicans will put somebody up, there'll
8:10
Speaker 2: be some independence up. So there's a few things to
8:13
Speaker 2: break down here with this guy who is a socialist
8:16
Speaker 2: and he is unashamed to be a socialist running for
8:21
Speaker 2: mayor of New York. We'll get to that in a second.
8:24
Speaker 2: I just want to point out the fact that Cuomo
8:28
Speaker 2: was a former governor of New York was running. He
8:32
Speaker 2: has been beaten for this Democrat ticket and he Mario Cuomo.
8:37
Speaker 1: He is the.
8:41
Speaker 2: Candidate that I think a lot of people thought, oh,
8:44
Speaker 2: he's just going to walk in with this thing and
8:47
Speaker 2: have one of those easy candidacies as far as not
8:53
Speaker 2: really allowing a lot of press, and he is kind
9:00
Speaker 2: of laying low, kind of doing a little bit of
9:02
Speaker 2: the Biden, you know, the hide and Biden. I'm sorry
9:06
Speaker 2: I called it Mario. It's andrewa going back to going
9:09
Speaker 2: back a few years, Andrew Cuomo. Sorry, So it seemed
9:15
Speaker 2: like Andrew Cuomo would be the one to beat, right,
9:18
Speaker 2: He's the brand name. But I think New Yorker spoke
9:21
Speaker 2: up a little bit because, first of all, he had
9:24
Speaker 2: some in house allegations that complicated his time as governor.
9:28
Speaker 2: He had to step down. He did not handle COVID well,
9:31
Speaker 2: of course, now infamously putting a lot of people at
9:35
Speaker 2: risk by putting them into senior centers where they were
9:39
Speaker 2: all gathered together. And now that there's another strand of
9:43
Speaker 2: COVID that has kind of taken grip on the US
9:46
Speaker 2: and places. I've got family that currently have that. But
9:49
Speaker 2: I think maybe that's kind of back on people's minds.
9:52
Speaker 2: I don't know that it was ever off people's minds
9:54
Speaker 2: in New York certainly a city that handled it very
9:58
Speaker 2: differently than we did in the South East. Again, go
10:01
Speaker 2: back to the aforementioned cold weather versus hot weather. There's
10:05
Speaker 2: some issues with that cold weather people being indoors a
10:09
Speaker 2: little bit more of a concern. That was one of
10:11
Speaker 2: the things we sort of learned about COVID in the
10:13
Speaker 2: initial days, as people would get all packed together. And
10:16
Speaker 2: maybe that's part of the issue what's going on now
10:19
Speaker 2: in parts of the country as far as the heat,
10:20
Speaker 2: with people gathering together indoors rather than being outside. But anyway,
10:25
Speaker 2: so this candidate has now created a situation as the winner.
10:31
Speaker 2: It appears that Cuomo will potentially run now as an independent.
10:36
Speaker 2: I guess he's considering that. Eric Adams, the current mayor,
10:40
Speaker 2: says he's thinking about running as an independent or possibly
10:42
Speaker 2: brokering some sort of deal to run as a Republican.
10:47
Speaker 2: Don't know how that works exactly, but apparently that's being
10:50
Speaker 2: discussed and lobbed around. But let's talk a little bit
10:55
Speaker 2: about this socialist Mamdani who is and I guess I'm
11:01
Speaker 2: saying his name correct. We're not hearing a lot about
11:03
Speaker 2: him over here in Australia. As I'm doing my reading
11:06
Speaker 2: and prepping. It's a little bit of a challenge. But
11:09
Speaker 2: this is someone who says he wants to abolish the police.
11:12
Speaker 2: This is someone who says he wants the grocery stores
11:15
Speaker 2: run by the city. This is someone who says he
11:18
Speaker 2: wants to get rid of cash bail. He wants to
11:20
Speaker 2: abolish prisons too.
11:21
Speaker 3: I think.
11:23
Speaker 2: He wants to defiantly oppose Ice. He doesn't want anything
11:28
Speaker 2: to do with working with Ice in the federal government
11:31
Speaker 2: in that regard. So, yeah, this is probably moderate Democrats'
11:37
Speaker 2: worst nightmare right now in a time where the party
11:40
Speaker 2: is struggling to find its identity, and this is not
11:43
Speaker 2: the identity that they want. This is the identity that
11:46
Speaker 2: they had and that they were really struggling with leading
11:50
Speaker 2: into the twenty twenty four presidential election, and honestly, it's
11:54
Speaker 2: one of the reasons why Donald Trump is president again.
11:58
Speaker 2: So they're trying to separate themselves from this. And the
12:01
Speaker 2: people of New York City have spoken and said, or
12:04
Speaker 2: at least the Democrats, I shouldn't say the people. The
12:06
Speaker 2: Democrats of New York City have spoken and said, this
12:10
Speaker 2: is who we would like to represent. US. He did
12:13
Speaker 2: apparently run a much more serious and active campaign than Cuomo,
12:17
Speaker 2: with Andrew Cuomo apparently just again, Hyde and Biden showing
12:21
Speaker 2: up for a couple of appearances, allowing select media to
12:25
Speaker 2: interview him. I'm sure there are things he did not
12:27
Speaker 2: want to have to answer to. There are questions he
12:29
Speaker 2: didn't want to answer about some of the accusations and
12:33
Speaker 2: some of the issues well he was governor, especially going
12:37
Speaker 2: back to the COVID days. So yeah, this is an
12:42
Speaker 2: interesting turn for things. And could this guy end up
12:47
Speaker 2: being the mayor of New York, a socialist mayor who
12:54
Speaker 2: wants basically to get all of the rich people in
12:58
Speaker 2: New York to pay for all of the things, all
13:01
Speaker 2: of the social programs that he would like to push forward.
13:05
Speaker 2: I suspect that there are a number of businesses in
13:08
Speaker 2: New York who are preparing just in case to relocate
13:15
Speaker 2: to a much more tax friendly state. I would imagine
13:18
Speaker 2: Florida is looking great, Texas is looking great, Georgia is
13:22
Speaker 2: looking great. There are a number of businesses that have
13:26
Speaker 2: to be looking elsewhere. Sure, if they want to stay
13:29
Speaker 2: in the Northeast, there's going to be a few states
13:31
Speaker 2: up that way where they could possibly relocate, but you
13:35
Speaker 2: gotta think, you gotta think that they're not going to
13:38
Speaker 2: stay put. There's been this, you know, for years, this
13:42
Speaker 2: thing about taxing billionaires and taking their money and not
13:48
Speaker 2: allowing some business owners, billionaire business owners to loan themselves
13:55
Speaker 2: money from their businesses. When you hear we talk about
13:59
Speaker 2: this a little bit from time to time, but when
14:00
Speaker 2: you hear the left complain that billionaires don't pay their
14:06
Speaker 2: taxes and they don't pay their fair share, and they say, well,
14:09
Speaker 2: Elon Musk doesn't pay taxes like everybody else. Elon Musk,
14:15
Speaker 2: my understanding is he doesn't take a salary at all.
14:17
Speaker 2: He owns all these companies, but he doesn't take a salary.
14:21
Speaker 2: And what he does is when he needs money to
14:24
Speaker 2: buy something, he borrows it from one of the companies
14:29
Speaker 2: and then he just doesn't pay it back. That's the
14:33
Speaker 2: way it works. That's the way it typically works when
14:35
Speaker 2: you own one of these very large companies, and you're
14:37
Speaker 2: able to do that when you're the owner and the
14:39
Speaker 2: CEO of the company. And there are Democrats who have said, well,
14:43
Speaker 2: that's not fair. They shouldn't be able to do that.
14:45
Speaker 2: And you could say it's not fair that's fine, but
14:48
Speaker 2: you have to understand that if that's taken away, these
14:52
Speaker 2: companies will leave the US. And with everything that we're
14:56
Speaker 2: trying to do currently with this current president, this current
15:00
Speaker 2: aministration where he's doing everything he can to keep business here,
15:04
Speaker 2: the tariff arguments, the tariff stuf went away. That this
15:08
Speaker 2: conversation died very quickly, did they, But trying to keep
15:13
Speaker 2: business in the US, trying to keep US able, the
15:16
Speaker 2: US in a position to be profitable as a nation,
15:23
Speaker 2: to not be reliant on other countries, you started getting
15:26
Speaker 2: into that dangerous thing where you're trying to push some
15:28
Speaker 2: of these companies out of the US. That talk has
15:32
Speaker 2: sort of died down a bit as far as the
15:34
Speaker 2: billionaires paying their fair tax, although it'll come back up
15:38
Speaker 2: when the midterms start rolling around. But be warned, people
15:43
Speaker 2: of New York some of those businesses and companies that
15:46
Speaker 2: you've been relying on for for a very long time
15:52
Speaker 2: for a lot of jobs, don't be shocked if a
15:56
Speaker 2: socialist mayor wins, if you're not going to start seeing
15:59
Speaker 2: those jobs packing up and leaving New York City, And
16:02
Speaker 2: if you're going to abolish the police and threaten to
16:04
Speaker 2: do that crime could get really nasty very quick there
16:08
Speaker 2: in Gotham. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State
16:11
Speaker 2: University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
16:15
Speaker 3: Hey everyone, this is doctor Sean Crusin. I'm the executive
16:18
Speaker 3: director of Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
16:21
Speaker 3: I want to tell you about a very special exhibit
16:25
Speaker 3: that we have on display the summer. It's so big
16:28
Speaker 3: that it can't even fit in our own exhibit gallery.
16:31
Speaker 3: It's just too many pieces. This is a collection of
16:35
Speaker 3: items from the personal collection of astronaut David R. Scott.
16:40
Speaker 3: Dave Scott flew on Gemini eight with Neil Armstrong. He
16:44
Speaker 3: flew on Apollo nine, a dress rehearsal for the moon landing,
16:48
Speaker 3: and then, most importantly perhaps he commanded Apollo fifteen, where
16:51
Speaker 3: he became the first person to ever drive a car
16:54
Speaker 3: on the service of the Moon. Because Dave's brother, Tom
16:58
Speaker 3: lived and worked here in Columbus, Georgia with our Columbus
17:01
Speaker 3: Chamber of Commerce, we got to be good friends with Tom.
17:04
Speaker 3: Tom has coordinated a very generous donation of artifacts and
17:08
Speaker 3: memorabilia from the Scott brothers collection to us here at
17:12
Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center. And again that's that collection
17:15
Speaker 3: got so overwhelmingly large we couldn't put it on display here.
17:19
Speaker 3: That's why we're doing the exhibit at the Bow Bartlet Center.
17:22
Speaker 3: They are open from eleven am to four pm Tuesday
17:25
Speaker 3: through Saturday. Go down and check out this great exhibit
17:28
Speaker 3: on display at the Bow Bartlet Center. Check out all
17:31
Speaker 3: the other wonderful pieces of artwork down there as well,
17:34
Speaker 3: and then come visit us here at Columbus State University's
17:37
Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center.
17:38
Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
17:41
Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
17:46
Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
17:50
Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
17:54
Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
17:57
Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away
18:00
Speaker 2: for you, and while they're there, you can always ask
18:03
Speaker 2: them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
18:06
Speaker 2: like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb
18:09
Speaker 2: appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and
18:12
Speaker 2: you need some repair work done to the outside door.
18:14
Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
18:18
Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
18:22
Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got.
18:24
Speaker 2: With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in
18:28
Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
18:31
Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
18:34
Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
18:36
Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
18:41
Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
18:43
Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
18:45
Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
18:47
Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
18:50
Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
18:52
Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
18:55
Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
18:58
Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
19:02
Speaker 2: and they do those as well. Seven six five eight

19:13
Speaker 2: Right after the break well, speaking of rich people that
19:26
Speaker 2: sometimes get on people's nerves for various reasons. Apparently the
19:31
Speaker 2: people in Venice are not happy about the Bezos wedding.
19:34
Speaker 2: Jeff Bezos, Laurn Sanchez the astronaut, both of them astronauts.
19:38
Speaker 2: I suppose throwing themselves a twenty million dollar wedding in
19:41
Speaker 2: Venice this week. A listers like Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian,
19:45
Speaker 2: Mick Jagger, Leo DiCaprio and others rumored to be jetting in.
19:51
Speaker 2: Some of these climate activists are going to be jetting
19:53
Speaker 2: in so that they can go to this wedding. Yachts
19:56
Speaker 2: lined up and five hotels completely sold out. Despite boost
20:00
Speaker 2: in the economy, locals say no thanks, We'd rather not
20:03
Speaker 2: do this. A group called No Space for Bezos has
20:06
Speaker 2: been putting up posters and holding protests. Tuesday morning, another
20:11
Speaker 2: group called Everyone Hates Elon unfurled a huge manner saying
20:15
Speaker 2: if you can't rent Venice for your wedding, then you can,
20:19
Speaker 2: or if you can rent Venice for your wedding, you
20:21
Speaker 2: can pay more tax. They've had a little bit of
20:25
Speaker 2: success prompting Bezos to move Saturday's main event from the
20:30
Speaker 2: current venue to the Arsenal, which is a bit farther
20:34
Speaker 2: from the city. Bezos and Sanchez are trying to save
20:38
Speaker 2: some face by urging their two hundred guests to donate
20:42
Speaker 2: to the city instead of giving them gifts. No Space
20:45
Speaker 2: for Bezos, though, has something up at sleeve for Saturday,
20:49
Speaker 2: calling on people to participate in a protest march. That's
20:54
Speaker 2: all people seem to know how to do now, is
20:57
Speaker 2: these protest marches. If it's a peaceful protest, truly, we'll
21:01
Speaker 2: and go for it. I don't know what the rules
21:02
Speaker 2: are in Italy, but you go for it, you go,
21:04
Speaker 2: you have fun. At the end of the day of
21:06
Speaker 2: the wedding, I think is still going to happen. So
21:08
Speaker 2: I really don't know what the accomplishment in the protest is,
21:11
Speaker 2: but other than to get people like me to talk
21:13
Speaker 2: about it, maybe I don't know. If you saw Materialists,
21:17
Speaker 2: then you know. It's about a matchmaker in Manhattan played
21:20
Speaker 2: by Dakota Johnson who caters to the ultra wealthy. And
21:24
Speaker 2: it isn't just a movie. Pot matchmaking is surging and
21:28
Speaker 2: real life matchmakers are making some money. People are turning
21:32
Speaker 2: away from dating apps and they're now hiring professionals to
21:35
Speaker 2: help them find love. Was that a Will Smith Kevin
21:38
Speaker 2: James movie Hitch? Was it post COVID, people are getting
21:45
Speaker 2: sick of the apps and the fakes and the scams
21:47
Speaker 2: and the tender swindlers and the fugazis, And I guess
21:52
Speaker 2: the phonies is what that means. And people are valuing
21:55
Speaker 2: love a little bit more, according to Lori Zaslow, who
21:58
Speaker 2: runs the New York based matchmaking service Project Soulmate with
22:03
Speaker 2: her partner Jim Zoucher or Zuker, and adding value doesn't
22:08
Speaker 2: come cheap. The company charges one hundred and twenty thousand
22:11
Speaker 2: dollars for its services. With a matchmaker that you know
22:16
Speaker 2: you will be set up with someone who has been vetted,
22:19
Speaker 2: is actually single and is looking for love, according to Zuker.
22:24
Speaker 2: So uh, they outsource everything. According to Zaslow, they say
22:29
Speaker 2: people will give their dry cleaning to dry cleaners, they
22:31
Speaker 2: give their children to a nanny. Why not pay someone
22:34
Speaker 2: to find your love match?
22:38
Speaker 1: Yeah?
22:38
Speaker 2: Why not? And finally, if you heard about the twelve
22:42
Speaker 2: three thirty fitness routine, it's where you walk on a
22:45
Speaker 2: treadmill on a twelve percent incline at three miles per
22:48
Speaker 2: hour for thirty minutes. Sounds easy enough, but fans say
22:52
Speaker 2: that the no running workout is not only challenging, but
22:56
Speaker 2: it's very effective. Popularized by a U YouTuber named Lauren
23:01
Speaker 2: Giraldo back in twenty twenty, but it's seen a bit
23:05
Speaker 2: of a resurgence in popularity here lately. On social media,
23:09
Speaker 2: the hashtag twelve three point thirty has over eleven thousand posts,
23:13
Speaker 2: with users sharing tips, calorie burns, custom variations, motivational updates,
23:20
Speaker 2: and it's sponsored by ozempic. No it's not. I think
23:23
Speaker 2: that's what most people are doing instead of putting in
23:26
Speaker 2: the work. Not that there's anything wrong with it. God knows.
23:30
Speaker 2: If you want to use the ozempic or one of
23:33
Speaker 2: those treatments, you do your thing. But you know there's
23:37
Speaker 2: other people I guess that aren't doing that and they're
23:40
Speaker 2: trying to turn to this twelve three to thirty method.
23:44
Speaker 2: So maybe it's something you could try. If that's what
23:47
Speaker 2: you want to do, that'll do it for this Thursday
23:50
Speaker 2: edition of the show, Thanks to our sponsors and patrons.
