  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: your day and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Monday morning, ninth day of December. I'm Wes, thanks for
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: joining me. We have wrapped a season of The Nutcracker
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: with the Columbus Ballet. Did our last show yesterday at
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: two thirty at the River Center. And it's always it's
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: so so much fun. Once you get into the week
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: of shows. The prep that goes into getting ready for
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: some is it's different. There are you know, principal dancers
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: that are part of the Columbus Ballet that presents the show.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: They are you know, they're grinding out this schooling the
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: way kids go to soccer practice, the way it's go
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: to baseball practice, the way kids go to football practice.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: They're doing this, you know, basically like year round, right,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: not specifically the Nutcracker, but for the you know, the
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: techniques and things that you have to have to be
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: able to put on a show like this. So when
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: you start getting into this season of the Nutcracker, that's
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: when they you know, start working on this specific like
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: they audition for certain parts, they get the parts, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: they start working on those routines on top of their
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: regular schooling that they're doing. And then there's the community dancers,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the people who audition for scenes like in the first
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: act and the party scene, or you know, roles that
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: like the one that I have, the role of Mother
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Ginger that I've been doing for six years and ready
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: to roll for next year, for number seven in twenty
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: twenty five, and then the role of Drosselmeyer that's been
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: played by my buddy Canon Haskins for I think he
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: says he's done twelve of these. They're not consecutive. There
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: were two years he took off after his the first
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: year that I did the show. His daughter was a
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: senior that year, so that was twenty nineteen. He didn't
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: do twenty twenty or twenty twenty one, but he's been
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: back since then. And you know, those are roles where
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: we got a pretty good idea of what we're supposed
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: to do every year. We got a good general idea
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: of what we'll be doing in the show the following year.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: You know, we already know. We get in, we work
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: with the particular director of the show that year and
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: find out some of the guidance we're going to get
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: from them. I think Cannon probably gets a bit more
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: than I do. He's got a larger role in the
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: show as far as his amount of time on stage.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I am the biggest star of the show, and that
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I am, you know, seven six on stilts and pretty
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: wide as well. I may be as tall as I
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: am wide now that I think about it. But the
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: amount of work that the rest of the cast is
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: putting in getting ready for the show, and then we
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: get into that season where we are really starting to
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: work on the specific things that we do for the show,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: that part starts a little slow for some of us,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, we roll on into
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the last few weeks and then it's tech week, it's
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: show week, and then we're we're in the River Center
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and we're working on the River Center stage and that's
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: when it starts to feel real. And then before you
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: know it, you're into shows. And I pointed out this
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: couple times last week. We typically do a school a
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: school show. In the past, I know they've done multiple
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: school shows, but we do a Friday morning school show
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: and then a Friday evening show that is a bit
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: of a VIP. There's a lot of military that come
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: to that show, and then Saturday Sunday or the two
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: shows open to the public. So it's a four show
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: run that we end up getting, and it's a lot
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: of work to go into those four shows. And the
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: the audience that we get is there to see ballet,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: they're there to see the Nutcracker. They're there for that
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: magic that is this show that has become so traditional
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: for this time of year. So I appreciate you. If
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: you came and you watch the show, I appreciate you
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: for that. If you supported the show in any way,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the sponsors and any of the folks that provided anything
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: for the show, we appreciate you for that. Just speaking
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: as a cast member, I'm not on the board or
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: anything an employee of any kind. I'm just someone who
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: is there to do the show and try to have
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: some fun. And I appreciate everyone at the Columbus Ballet
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: for inviting me back having me there to do the show.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I have an outstanding group of ladies who helped me
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: get in and out of wardrobe every time I take
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the stage. Sometimes it's for rehearsals when I have to
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: be in the dress for the rehearsals. I work with
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: eight kids in the show, specifically nine, I guess because
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Clara is one of the main characters in the show,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: maybe the main character in the show, and she is
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: on stage with us. So I've got nine kids that
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: are part of this show that I performed with this year.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it's thirteen fourteen kids, but the parents of those
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: kids typically end up being Some of them end up
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: being the ones who helped me get in and out
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: of wardrobe, so I appreciate the kid. This was the
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: first year since I started that I was performing with
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: eight new kids that were under the dress. You know,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: we come out on stage, they come out, they dance around,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: they come back in. It's a little scary when they've
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: never done this before. They don't know what's going on.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I don't have any kids who've done it before. They
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: were fantastic, They did a great job. We had a
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: couple of moments, actually two of them, that I stepped
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: on their foot as I was coming off the stage
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: for two of the shows. Didn't get them quite as
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: much as maybe I thought I did. They said they
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: were fine, they didn't get upset, they were okay with it. Thankfully,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: it didn't affect me. It didn't you know, in the
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: sense that it didn't try to take me down or anything.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: That was all so good, and it was as we
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: were exiting the stage. Maybe there's a lot adrenaline it play.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But our directors who did the show
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: this year, Angela Laura Bridget, they were just great to
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: work with. Laura I worked mostly with, and she just
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: did a great job working with the kids, and she
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: had a number of segments of the show. Having three
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: directors dividing up the show allowed them to focus a
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: lot more on specific aspects of the show. So I
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: appreciate that. I appreciate the ladies who helped me get dressed.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I appreciate any of the people just backstage that were
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: willing to say, hey, you're in the dress. You're sitting
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: on a ladder waiting to go on stage. Do you
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: need water, do you need a snack? What do you need?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: A cough drop was important for me because I'm still
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: dealing with trying to shake this little nagging cough that
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: won't go away. And when you're doing a show that
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: has a fog machine, sometimes that can tickle the throat
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: and really aggravate you. But the whole cast just the team, camaraderie,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: those aspects of a show. Sometimes you do a show
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: like this and there can be little disputes between people,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: people can get upset. I didn't really see any of
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: that this year. There was none of that. Everybody seemed
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: to get along and it was you know, but it's
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: a diverse group of people that you're getting together and
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: they're going to perform, and they're creative minded people. So
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: all of it was just fantastic. And I appreciate the
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: board of the Ballet for having me back and looking
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: forward to doing it again next year. Just a great show,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: and I hope if you haven't been to see The Nutcracker,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and I know some people who were there for the
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: first time this year, I hope you'll consider it next year.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I won't start the commercials yet for next year, but
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I'll just say I'm excited about having the opportunity to
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: do the show. Just great fun. And now that it's over,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: you take a breath and then you start focusing on,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: you know, next couple of weeks, cause we're you know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: full steam ahead. We are definitely rolling our way towards
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Christmas and it is coming up fast. And this was
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: kind of one of those ways that some people kind
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: of kick off that holiday season. So anyway, thanks if
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: you came, if you supported the show, you were part
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: of the show. I had a great time. I always
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: enjoy trying to do something a little different each year.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: This year my goal was to do three turns from
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: one side of the stage to the other before the
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: girls loaded up back in again. And doing that on
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: stilts in a giant dress is not easy, and it
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: was It was nice to be able to work it in.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Nice to be able to do it every show, and
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: other than stepping on a couple of kids, just barely
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: graze them, apparently it wasn't too bad. All right, Let's
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: let's talk about We got a couple of new things.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: This this thing with Syria, obviously keeping an eye on that,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: that's going to be a developing story. We got the
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: White House saying that we're going to be, you know,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: involved in some way and trying to establish peace there.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: You got the incoming president elect, former President Trump saying
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: we need to stay out of it. It's not our fight,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: it's not our civil war. We got to stay out
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: of it. We don't need to get involved. And that
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: is obviously a story that is going to be pretty
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: important at least for a little bit and and moving forward, folks,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: keeping an eye on that region, and we're going to
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: see how an outgoing president and an incoming president handle
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: that over the next you know, five weeks or whatever
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: we got before that that handoff happens. So keeping an
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: eye on that. The other thing I want to talk about,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: and I haven't really addressed this particular story because I mean,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: it's and again, uh, developing story with new info. But
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: this this story about this shooting of the CEO of
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: United Healthcare, and uh, you know, all these clues and
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: all these things. I understand it's one of those stories
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: that people are It's it's a it's almost a made
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: for TV kind of story the way all this is
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: playing out. But I guess, uh, and and I understand
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: why people are interested in it in that regard, But
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I guess what I'm curious about is something that a
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: little closer to home with a story like this, and
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: it's one of those things that has changed for us
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: as a society. We've talked about this a couple of
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: times in the last couple of months, but I'm really
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: curious if this particular story may push this narrative forward
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: people to start having this conversation again. I suppose they are.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: In some places. There was a time when before COVID,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: you weren't allowed to just walk around in public with
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: a mask on. That wasn't something that was normal to
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: be seen. You'd maybe see it in you know, some
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Asian countries China might do it. You know, they're traveling
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: around and they're wearing masks to try to protect themselves
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: or whatever. And that was something that you were aware of,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: maybe from movies or TV shows or if you traveled internationally,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: travel somewhere like Australia, and I promise you you're going
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: to see some folks from an Asian country wearing a
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: mask while they're traveling to protect themselves. And that was
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: true ten years ago. Okay, that was true first time
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I went to Australia back in the old nineteen nineties.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: That was something that you might see. So now that
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: we have gone through this pandemic and we have gone
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: through the it doesn't even matter where you fall on
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: this spectrum of mask use. You may be someone who says,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: a masks are dumb, we never should have used them.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: They weren't effective. They weren't doing anyone any good. They're
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: only really good if it's a medical grade mask and
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: you're using it kind of in a sanitary environment like
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: an operating room, or maybe you're one of those people
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: who says, hey, masks stopped people from getting as sick.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if it was people washing
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: their hands more, I don't know if it was people
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: wearing a mask being more aware of their proximity to
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: each other. I don't know, but there was a period
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: when people were wearing them that seems like cases of
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: the flu went down, or cases of colds or you know, COVID,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: whatever it was, there seemed to be cases that were down.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know that you can attribute it to masks.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you can just attribute it to
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: better use of soap or hand sanitizer or you know,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: not getting in each other's face. But my point is
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: there was a time before COVID when you couldn't just
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: walk around in public wearing a mask. Now that COVID
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: has happened, there's people that still wear masks out in public.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: And although now it does kind of look a little
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: strange when you see it for some for some they
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: see it and they don't think a thing about it. Now,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: that person's just probably sick and they don't want to
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: get other people sick, and that's fine. I'm a strong
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: advocate for if that's what you want to do, then
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: you do it. I have friends who look down their
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: nose at people and say, I can't believe they're wearing
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: those masks out in public. What are they doing. I'm
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: a strong advocate for you BEU do whatever it is
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: that you want to do, as long as it's not
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: hurting somebody else. But the question of possibly hurting somebody
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: else is where it goes back to pre pandemic. You
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: couldn't wear a mask in public because I don't know.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe you could stick a mask on and a hoodie
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: and you know, shoot the CEO of a company in
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: broad daylight and you know, nobody knows who you are
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: when you do it. How many times since COVID have
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: you been in a bank and you see people that
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: have a mask on and a bank They're not even
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: asking you to take it off in the bank. They
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: don't want to be caught up in a liability case.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: I don't want someone to say I was in the bank,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: and I had to take my mask off and I
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: got sick, and I'm going to sue that bank. Remember
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: when people just have the signs up, we don't accept
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: any liability for you if you don't wear a mask
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: when you come into this business, blah blah blah, COVID
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: whatever it said. I read one once and then I went,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: this is this is a dumb sign. This is cya sign. Right,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: So at what point or were you going to go
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: back to the old ways, because I think it's probably time,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: isn't it. You can't wear a mask out in public.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I mean back in the olden days, you know, back
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: in the twenty nineteens, five years ago, if you were
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: sick and you were contagious, you just stayed at home.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: If you were afraid of getting sick and you were
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: going to be around other people that might be sick,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: you just stayed home or you you know, kept your
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: distance from them, washed your hands a lot. You didn't
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: stick a mask on and look like a ninja and
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: go out in public. Again, long as it's legal and
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: allowed to happen, you do you that's how you're more comfortable.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: You're certainly within your rights to do it. But how
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: long is it going to be our rights to do it?
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: How long is it going to be necessary to have
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: people wearing them out in the bank. How many times
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: we're going to have somebody just I mean, you know,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: if I were planning to shoot someone and didn't want
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: to get caught, you know, sticking a mask on and
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: putting on a hoodie, few things you could try to do.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: It's almost like it's just paved the way the opportunity
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: for people to do these kind of crimes. I'm not
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: the be all expert on masks. I can't sit here
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: and tell you that I know the scientific ya's or
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: nays with masks. I do kind of feel like there
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: probably is a certain amount of you know, sugar pills.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: I think there's probably just a little bit of that
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: going on. I feel better when I'm wearing the mask,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: feel like I'm not going to get sick. Feel like
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: by wearing this mask, I probably won't get sick. So
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna wear it. Whether it helps or not, I
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: don't know, but I do know as long as we're
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: allowing people to wear them out in public anywhere they
• 17:41

  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe

  Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid. You'd like to
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: as well, And again they do after hours calls. There's

• 21:28
  Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
• 21:35

• 21:45
  Speaker 2: after the break well. For the ninth year in a
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: row language learning company, Babbel has gotten together with the
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: US Captioning Company, which provides accurate captions and subtitles for
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: live TV broadcasts, to identify the most mispronounced names and
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: words of twenty twenty four. No surprise, what is first
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: on the list. I don't know if he's ranked, but
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: the Vice President of the United States, her name is Kamala,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris, not Kamala. Not Kamala, Kamala. It's not right kamala.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: That's how it's pronounced. Anyway. It's at the top of
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: their list or at top of this particular list. Chapel
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Rohne Singer is on the list, The Transportation Secretary, Pete
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Buddha Judge, I don't know how people pronounce it booty judge.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know. There is Zendaia or Zendaya. People say,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: but it's zendaiya. I don't know some celebrities. The Paris
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Olympics mascot was a free gi spelled phryge. And then
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: the weight loss drug, some a glue tide, some a
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: glue tide. I guess, uh, yeah, some of these I
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: haven't even heard of. But the uh, of course, the Ohshian,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: the online fashion shop. And there's it's possibility I've mispronounced
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: some of these myself. Uh. You remember the last time
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: you opened a bottler carton of milk? Was unscrewing the
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: cap just a little more difficult. Well, some people have
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: recently noticed that it takes a little bit more muscle
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: to twist that cap off, And it turns out there's
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: a reason for it. It has nothing to do with your
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: strength or dexterity. A spokesperson for the Plastics Industry Association,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: explaining that plastic twist caps are being nineteen percent shorter
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: than before as a means to save plastic, save nineteen
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: percent of plastic. Apparently it helps cut down weight, it
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: reduces the carbon footprint. But the shorter caps are harder
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: to grip and require a bit more strength than the
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: fingers to twist open. I haven't noticed it yet, but
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: maybe it hasn't happened to anything that I purchase yet.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Get ready to see a lot of warm brown shades
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: this year. Pantone has announced the twenty twenty five Color
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: of the Year, Mocha Moose. According to Pantone, that color
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: is a warming brown hue imbued with richness. That sounds nice.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Get your home Santa ready. As we're getting closer and
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: closer to Christmas, you got to get your house ready
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: so that he can visit and deliver those gifts. If
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Santa is going to park his reindeer on your roof,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: slide down the chimney, leave gifts under the tree, grab
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: a cookie or two before leaving. There's some things you'll
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: need to do the Santa is coming. Cost index includes
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: fixing the roof, cleaning the gutters, sweep the chimney, putting
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: up the Christmas lights, buying a tree, buying stockings, removing
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: the snow, baking chocolate chip cookies, buying milk, having carrots
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: for the reindeer, and more. Overall, the estimated costs to
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: get your holms Santa ready nine ninety two dollars and
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: thirty six cents. It's like the price is right to
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: get Santa to come to your house. All right. Scented
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: candles are a thing, But of all those smells of
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: pine cmon gingerbread, if they're not getting the job done
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: with festive cheer, they're also filling the air with some
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: not so jolly pollutants. A new study found that burning
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: scented candles can harm the indoor air quality. These candles,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: along with air fresheners and incense sticks, released a mix
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: of chemicals and particles, including some nasty stuff like carbon
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: monoxide and sulfur dioxide. In fact, the fine particles from
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: these candles can reach levels up to fifteen times higher
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: than what the World Health Organization considers safe. So if
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: you're really, really, really like the scented candles, just be
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: aware and maybe pace yourself or I don't know, I
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: don't mess with people's snacks. The British A British man
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: who recently opened up a Mars bar or it's a
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: milky way in the US. Basically, it's a difference between
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: those candy bars country to country. Our Mars bars are
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: different than the ones overseas. I noticed the outer chocolate
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: layer was perfectly smooth, and it's missing the signature ripple.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Puzzled by the appearance appearance, Harry Seger decided to reach
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: out to Mars Wrigley UK to find out what's going on.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: The company responded, but, much to his disappointment, did not
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: address the issue. Instead, they simply sent him a voucher
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: for two pounds it's about two dollars and fifty three
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: cents to buy another Mars bar. Seeger shared his story
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: on Facebook, and some commenters who were familiar with the
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: candy bar making process said the bar most likely missed
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: being blown by air that would have given it the
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: more recognizable ripple on top. So the good news is
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: if you like the ripple and you miss the ripple,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: it's probably just the one bar. They send them the money,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: go buy another bar. It should be just fine. I
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: guess that'll do it for this Monday edition of the show.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
• 27:21
