  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: Wednesday morning, July ninth. I'm Wes, thanks for joining me.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: We have moved over to Magnetic Island here in Australia,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: off the coast of Townsville. I've mentioned this a couple
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: of times. I know that this is one of our
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: favorite places to go anywhere in the world, but especially
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: when we're here in North Queensland. We like to come
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: to Magnetic Island. This is an opportunity. We've had to
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: be here with family, with extended family, my in laws,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: and that's been great. It's been a fantastic time here
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: on Magnetic Island. A couple of things I want to
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: mention because I have been in a position where, because
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: of this trip and my desire to keep shows coming
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: for you and have fresh content as much as I can,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: there have been times where that opportunity to not present itself,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: and I've had to record a couple of shows ahead
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: of time, and it put me in a position to
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: start this week where I did not have an opportunity
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: really to talk much about the Texas floods and the
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: horrific incidents that have taken places there, and just I
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: would say anyone's worst nightmare, a parent's worst nightmare that
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: has played out with now over one hundred that have died,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: and the number just seems to keep climbing. It's unspeakable.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: It is unthinkable, and your heart is absolutely continues to
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: break for the families involved in this and the stories
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: that we are hearing now here about it. It just
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: absolutely breaks your heart. All you can do is pray
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: for the people. I encourage every one to still do that.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: And it created a situation where when I recorded a
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: few shows, because of us traveling to get to this
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: island and settling in here, I didn't really have an
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: opportunity to do a show and really talk about this.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: So I'm a few days behind on talking about it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: But what I wanted to say about it, other than
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: sort of the setup for this, is that the number
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: of people that I have talked to here that have
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: found out we were from the States, and it was
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: one of the almost immediate things to come out of
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: their mouth since we've been here, just how heartbreaking it is,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: how horrible it is to hear the news about what's
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: gone on there, and that I've told you a few
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: stories about sort of refreshing things since I've been here,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: and the fact that there are some questions that people
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: are asking rather than just sort of believing what they've
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: heard in the news about some things, especially concerning our president.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Those sorts of things made me feel good about the
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: state of things. It made me feel good about where
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: things are when it comes to I think people starting
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: to question what's force fed to them by the media.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: And I think it's also promising to me to be
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: halfway around the world and know that there are people
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that genuinely just care and that they under and that
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: they understand what a sad situation it is there for
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: so many Americans, and they genuinely would reach out to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: me as if I was personally impacted any more than
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: just it was, you know, fellow Americans who died in
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: these floods. So I appreciate that. That's promising. That's one
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: of those things that makes you feel a certain way
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: when people approach you and say that. So there's that,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: and I commend them for that. And then when I
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: check into some of the news outlets for the States
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: and I find out it's less about that in the states,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: it seems in some places, and it's more about politicizing
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: something that has taken place that is horrible. And you
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: realize that when you're talking about a situation where there
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: is a clear competency problem when it comes to the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: way some disasters take place, and it's a completely different
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: situation when you're talking about this severe weather, the timing
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: of these floods in the day, and what happened to citizens,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: and you realize this didn't happen because a governor redirected
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: water away from the water sources that would be needed
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: to put out fire, or a mayor redirecting funds away
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: from firefighters and sending them to other places. This is
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: something that was going to happen no matter what the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: situation was. It didn't matter who the president was, it
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: didn't matter who the governor of the state is. It
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter anything other than American lives were lost in
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: a very horrifying, saddening way. That's all it is. There's
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: no reason to try to make this about politics. It's
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: always unfortunate when a shooting takes place and immediately it
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: comes into calls for gun control, It comes into an
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: immediate there's no time to mourn. There's no time to
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: process what happened. There's this we must strike while the
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: iron is hot. This isn't a situation where trying to
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: strike while the iron is hot makes any sense. We're
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: talking about people who are just looking for some reason
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: to attack the president or to attack conservatives in general,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: and looking for this really desperate way to do that,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: any attempt to do it at all, and to just
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: say or to go after anybody who asked a question
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: about climate change, anybody who asked a question. Look, a
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: hurricane is an event that's taken place as long as
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: we've known weather existed. You can't say that climate is
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: causing hurricanes. It's bad science. If you say that nothing
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: this is specifically a hurricane, that's not what I'm talking about.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying that when you say these severe weather
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: systems are caused in general. When the hurricanes were happening
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: in Florida and people were trying to say, oh, this
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: is the most hurricanes they've had in Florida ever, and
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: then you look at the science and you go, well,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: the worst hurricanes took place many years ago. They say,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: well this is the most, Well it's not even the
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: most that they've had even in recent years, and then say, well,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: but it's got to do with a you know, the
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: fact that people aren't putting enough money into climate research,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: and you say, is it though, it's this leap to
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: strike while the iron is hot, and this is a
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: desperate attempt by politicians to do that, and it's sad,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: it's frustrating, it's infuriating. I'm halfway around the world people
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: aren't looking at this as an opportunity to instill some
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: sort of changes in climate change research. And maybe the
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: research is validated, but I'm not talking about putting money
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: into something so that you can say we're going to
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: put money into this for the purposes of moving money
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: from these people and giving them to these people. That's
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: what's saying place we pretend it's not, but there's this
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: wealth change that goes from the halves and an attempt
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: to shift it over to other places and ultimately get
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: it to have nots. Some of that was taken care
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: of by Doge and Elon Musk, who I guess is
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: moving forward even more with his new political party or
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: whatever it is that he's trying to do, which is
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: again it's so bizarre. Isn't it. I gotta take a
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: minute to say this. It continues to be a bizarre
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: relationship between him and Trump, and I feel like you
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: got two guys that really strong willed. I know that's
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: an understatement, not afraid to butt heads, not afraid to
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: fight for what it is that they believe in, not
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: afraid to do that. And then here they are playing
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: this game of chicken. I guess where there's a struggle
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: and there's a fight to see who's going to back
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: down first, as he threatens a new political party, and
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: who knows, who knows where all that's going anyway, back
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: to loticizing things that don't need to be politicized. It's
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: a horrific event anytime children die. Any people die, but
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: especially when there's children that die in a horrific situation,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: when all you see is opportunity, when all you see
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: is here's my chance to do something with it. Think
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: back to COVID. I talk to you on the radio
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: and hear about the opportunitists, opportunistic people on the left
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: who saw COVID as this is our chance to get
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: rid of Trump, and they took advantage of it. It
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: didn't just happen in the States. There were other conservative
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: leadership positions that were overturned in elections in twenty twenty.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: In other countries, people saw the opportunity there to say, look,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: these people aren't doing a good job, so we got
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: to overthrow them. What's the endgame for Hey, children died
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: in these camps, and so we're going to say, let's
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: just forget about the kids, and let's look at the
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: fact that they had bad weather. Let's look at the
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: fact that there was flooding, this massive flood that took place,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: and and the fact that it happened, you know, over
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Independence Day, and then to say, oh, this is a
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: chance that we can pounce on to talk about climate change,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: or this is an opportunity that we can say, hey,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: President Trump wasn't doing what he was supposed to do
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: and stopping this flood. I don't know what the expectations are,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: but the fact that that is your focus so quickly.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: We're not talking about a conversation being had months later.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: We're not talking about a conversation that you say in
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: six months or in a year and say, hey, let's
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: look back at that and how could we have changed it.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: It's about saying, people are concerned about this and they
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: have feelings about it right now. So what we're going
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: to do is we're going to try to draw on
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: those feelings and push an agenda that we think is important. See,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: that's what the left does. It deals with feelings and
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: it's not thinking things through most of the time. You know,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: that's the general concept right behind conservatives and liberals. One
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: side says, this is what's right, this is what's wrong,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: this is what our objectives are, and we're going to
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: try to get to those objectives by following a logical
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: train of thought versus the left that in many cases
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: has feelings. These people need our help. These people feel
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: a certain way, and we're going to capitalize on the
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: fact that they're feeling it. We're going to try to
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: go after college students who are young and still feel
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: a certain way. We're going to go after them now
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: so that we can ultimately sway them in a direction
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: to vote a way that we want them to later.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: More on that tomorrow, by the way, because that's a
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: big part of what's going on in New York City
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: right now, and it should be concerning for everybody. It
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: should be concerning for absolutely everyone. So yeah, looking at
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: this and saying, oh my gosh, kids died, people have
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: to feel sad about it. We're going to use this
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: to try to capitalize on something that to us is
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: a signature thing for us. But in reality, it's about
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: wealth distribution, and that's what we want to do. We
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: want to move money from these people to these people,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: and this is going to be our means of doing it.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Is to take people that are already feeling sad, that
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: are already feeling upset, that are already frustrated, and probably
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: already this like Trump to begin with, and find a
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: way to redirect those feelings and push an agenda for
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: the next election, to push an agenda for the mid terms,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: because that's really what this is all becoming about now,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: as we start looking at start focusing on the midterms,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: that's where the next focus is. They can go after
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Trump all day. Trump has his time in the White House.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: He has an endpoint. They're trying to tell you that
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: he's not going to leave. He left last time, even
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: though he didn't think he fairly lost, He's still left.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: His time is going to run out as president. He's
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: going to do everything he can to try to get
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: someone elected to follow him that will continue on with
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: the things that he thinks are important. One of the
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: people that it might be is Marco Rubio, who apparently
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: now has had some AI words literally put into his
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: mouth or not literally, but yeah, I guess literally put
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: into an AI Marco Rubio's mouth, which again puts us
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: back into an idea where we have to start really
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: scrutinizing what the media is telling us, because sometimes the
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: media isn't even going to be valid media, and it's
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: not even going to really be the person talking. So,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: like I say, when you go halfway around the world
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: and you have people who are understanding that a media
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: that is filtered in the US so that we only
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: hear certain things on most of the networks, and then
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: we only hear certain ideas on most of the networks,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: and then that goes out to the world, probably through
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: partnerships with media that affiliate with those networks where those
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: far left ideas come from. Yeah, they're going to only
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: hear things, and they're only going to hear bad things
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: about Americans and about our president. But I'll say this,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: if we have politicians who have ignored the deaths for
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: the same of politics and for the sake of climate change.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: But we have people around the world that are actually
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: feeling the emotions that we should be feeling, which is
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: this tragedy is horrible, and that we should embrace one another,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: we should care for one another, and we should understand
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: we're all mourning together, and that we should be praying
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: for each other. And if people around the world are
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: doing a better job of it than some of our
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: leadership the Democrat Party, we should be reevaluating the people
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: being elected to leadership in the Democrat Party. Today's show
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Science Center.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Hey. Everyone, this is doctor Sean Crusin. I'm the executive
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: director of Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: I want to tell you about a very special exhibit
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: that we have on display the summer. It's so big
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: that it can't even fit in our own exhibit gallery.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: It's just too many pieces. This is a election of
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: items from the personal collection of astronaut David R. Scott.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Dave Scott flew on Gemini eight with Neil Armstrong. He
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: flew on Apollo nine. A dress rehearsal for the moon landing,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: and then most importantly perhaps he commanded Apollo fifteen, where
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: he became the first person to ever drive a car
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: on the service of the Moon. Because Dave's brother, Tom
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: lived and worked here in Columbus, Georgia, with our Columbus
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Chamber of Commerce, we got to be good friends with Tom.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Tom has coordinated a very generous donation of artifacts and
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: memorabilia from the Scott Brothers collection to us here at
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center. And again, that collection got
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: so overwhelmingly large we couldn't put it on display here.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: That's why we're doing the exhibit at the Bow Bartlett Center.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: They are open from eleven am to four pm Tuesday
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: through Saturday. Go down and check out this great exhibit
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: on display at the Bow Bartlett Center. Check out all
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: the other wonderful pieces of art work down there as well,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: and then visit us here at Columbus State University's Coca
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Cola Space Science Center.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of square and that
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: away for you, and while they're there, you can always
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: man caved you'd like to be able to open the
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: And they do those as well. Seven oh six thory

  Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show right after the break. Well, in case
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: you weren't already aware, Hallmark Channels Christmas in July is
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: in full swing. Most of the world that would be
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: possibly watching the Hallmark Channel is probably really really hot. However,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: that doesn't mean Hallmark can't say, look, here's some nice
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: snowy weather for you, and Christmas trees and snow and
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: all those things. So yeah, if you've been craving some
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Hallmark Channel and you've been craving some Christmas entertainment, there
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: you go. It's waiting for you there on the Hallmark
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Channel throughout the rest of the month, all right. A
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: new survey of gen Z and millennials found thirty seven
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: percent of women and seventy five percent of men are
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: hoping for a summer fling this year or a Hallmark
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Channel caliber flame maybe there's a big difference in what
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: men and women are looking for. Most men wanting a
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: no strings attached casual connection. Many women are quietly hoping
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: that flings might evolve into something more meaningful and long term. Interestingly,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: though there's real potential for that to happen, over forty
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: percent of respondence that a summer fling has actually turned
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: into a serious relationship. Still, the emotional stakes can be high.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Fifty six percent of young women nearly forty percent of
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: men admit they have felt heartbroken after a summer romance ended.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: So there's hope, But there's also hope maybe that both
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: sides can come up with a compromise, because it sounds
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: like men aren't looking for the long term thing, so
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I guess there's some sort of hope. Do you escape
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: to the bathroom for quiet time? Do you spend several
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: minutes or hours in the bathroom, then you might be
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: what's known now on social media as a bathroom camper. Yes,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: folks on social media saying it's a way to relax
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: and reset, especially in over stimulating environments like work or school.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Some use the time to scroll social media, listen to music,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: just sit in silence as one bathroom camp or shared.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. Sometimes I get to a point
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: where when I'm in there for a few hours, literally
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: just thinking about life. There's nothing going on in the bathroom,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: no windows to look at. It's just straight me and
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: me in that bathroom. It would be nice if people
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: had another room that didn't have a toilet in it,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: where they could do those things. I would think some
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: sort of relaxation in a room that you don't do
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: bathroom activities in would be nice. If only there were
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: like a study or a spare room somewhere in the house.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: I think this is something that we should think about,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: because if that's what the bathroom has become, maybe we
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: should just build a room that doesn't involve stenches that
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: we could all relocate to and relax a bit. If
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: you're feeling stressed, listening to a cat purring can help,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: And if you don't have a cat, that's okay, because
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: there's a website called perly purli dot com and it
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: lets you listen to customizable cat purs The site features
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: a per engine that mimics a real cat they're purring sounds,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: and allows users to adjust the tone and intensity to
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: suit their mood from happy to sleepy. And it's not
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: just for humans. Users say they use it to calm
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: anxious kittens as well. It might even be some dogs enjoyed.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: If you got one of those dogs that had a
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: pet cat and they've lost the pet cat, this could
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: be some use I would think, possibly for that dog
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: to help them maybe get past that. I know we
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: don't want to think sad things, but I'm just saying,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: all right, well, this is kind of a big deal.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: After almost two decades, it's it seems now you can
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: go through security at the airport without taking off your shoes.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: On our trip to Australia, there were multiple TSA stops
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: where we did not have to take off our shoes.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: It was not official then yet, well it is now.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: The TSA has sent a memo to its workers nationwide
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: saying that as of this week, passengers who have real
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: ID will be able to go through detectors with their
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: footwear on. People that are traveling without real ID will
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: still have to take off their shoes. Though the rule
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: was first instituted in two thousand and six and came
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: five years after a passenger tried to light a bomb
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: in his shoes on a flight from Paris to Miami. Previously,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: only individuals enrolled in TSA PreCheck were allowed to keep
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: their shoes on during the screening, and that was one
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: of the selling points for people to sign up for
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: TSA PreCheck. So enjoy it. That aspect of this is
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: now free. You don't have to take off your shoes,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I guess unless you go through the scanner and they
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: have to, you know, touch you. That happened to me
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: on the way here and the guy touched me. I'm
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: going to touch you in the back of my hand,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to touch you here, here, and here.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: And he was very kind, he explaining all of it.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: And at some point I think I just told him, look, man,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: neither one of us is going to enjoy this. Let's
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: get it over with. I got places to be. And
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: he just laughed and he said, I know, but I
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: have to explain it. And I said, I understand that.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: But we can get going with this anytime. You're ready,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Well let's go. So anyway, So to the TSA workers
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: out there doing their work and aren't enjoying the pat downs,
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: we appreciate you. That's what I'm trying to get it.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Wednesday edition of the show.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
