- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the Wes Carroll Morning Show.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, 23rd day of September. I'm Wes. Thanks for
- 0:16Speaker 2: joining me. Apologies I missed out on Monday of pointing
- 0:22Speaker 2: out that it was, in fact, Earth, Wind & Fire Day.
- 0:26Speaker 2: September by Earth, Wind & Fire is among my favorite
- 0:30Speaker 2: songs of all time. I just dig the song. I mean,
- 0:35Speaker 2: across all, you know, if I'm putting together my list
- 0:39Speaker 2: of just, you know, the great songs of all time,
- 0:41Speaker 2: it's on there for me. I probably have, you know,
- 0:45Speaker 2: of all of my favorite songs, really like 90% of
- 0:49Speaker 2: them are by just two different bands. But once you
- 0:52Speaker 2: start getting outside of that circle... You know, then we
- 0:56Speaker 2: start getting, including other bands besides those two. You know,
- 1:00Speaker 2: then that's when you start getting like Earth, Wind &
- 1:04Speaker 2: Fire songs. But I missed out on my opportunity. Maybe
- 1:07Speaker 2: I can take care of that when the 25th night
- 1:11Speaker 2: of December comes around in honor of their Christmas version
- 1:16Speaker 2: of September. So, you know. We didn't talk about it
- 1:20Speaker 2: on one of my other podcasts that I do, but
- 1:22Speaker 2: we didn't talk about it here. I didn't, I didn't
- 1:24Speaker 2: bring that up on Monday. So my apologies on that. Uh,
- 1:28Speaker 2: we've officially now entered into fall, right? The autumn season
- 1:32Speaker 2: has begun and, uh, it might start to feel like it, uh,
- 1:38Speaker 2: maybe a little today, but by tomorrow, I guess all
- 1:41Speaker 2: this is starting to kind of become a little bit cooler. Uh,
- 1:45Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. Uh, When it's going
- 1:50Speaker 2: to fully— I mean, maybe, I guess, starting Thursday, we'll get
- 1:54Speaker 2: a little stretch of, you know, some 70s and, like, mid-80s, maybe.
- 2:00Speaker 2: It's a little bit better. Last year, we were spoiled.
- 2:04Speaker 2: We got a proper amount of fall. You know, we got, like,
- 2:09Speaker 2: not as much as I would have liked. I would
- 2:10Speaker 2: love for it to always kind of feel like fall
- 2:12Speaker 2: or spring. you know, just kind of in that mid
- 2:17Speaker 2: range area, but we don't get a lot of that.
- 2:18Speaker 2: We just get boiling hot and then it's winter and then,
- 2:22Speaker 2: you know, little stretch change, but not much. Uh, the
- 2:26Speaker 2: fact that we're, you know, knocking on the door of
- 2:28Speaker 2: October and it's still pretty warm, uh, or hot, it
- 2:33Speaker 2: has been hot. Um, but anyway, I hope your, uh,
- 2:37Speaker 2: quest to get all of your, uh, yard debris taken
- 2:41Speaker 2: care of as, as, uh, been successful. And if you're
- 2:46Speaker 2: in the– I'm specifically referring largely right now to the
- 2:50Speaker 2: folks in Columbus, Georgia, where we do the show from.
- 2:54Speaker 2: There are some other cities dealing with problems as well.
- 2:56Speaker 2: But you should be– like remind yourself that you got
- 3:02Speaker 2: until around October 12th, I think, to get the emergency
- 3:09Speaker 2: storm green waste pickups taken care of. They are going
- 3:14Speaker 2: to be driving the trucks around doing pickups as normal,
- 3:17Speaker 2: but it wouldn't hurt to contact the 311 services and
- 3:21Speaker 2: let them know that you got some. Between my neighbor
- 3:25Speaker 2: and I, we have a giant pile of it already,
- 3:29Speaker 2: like right on the edge of our yards. So I
- 3:32Speaker 2: think he made the first call to 311 and set
- 3:36Speaker 2: it up, but we're going to probably need a few
- 3:38Speaker 2: of these to be done. He's done more work in
- 3:41Speaker 2: his backyard than I have, but I've taken care of
- 3:45Speaker 2: my main concerns in my front yard. So I got
- 3:49Speaker 2: to get on the backyard. I got to take care
- 3:50Speaker 2: of that. So just a reminder, you got to, you know,
- 3:54Speaker 2: three weeks, whatever it is, something like that, a little
- 3:56Speaker 2: over three weeks, no, right about three weeks to let
- 4:00Speaker 2: them know. And just a reminder, if a professional tree
- 4:04Speaker 2: service comes, they're supposed to take it or deal with it,
- 4:08Speaker 2: or you have to deal with it yourself. It's different
- 4:11Speaker 2: than if you're just doing it yourself. If your buddy
- 4:15Speaker 2: comes over with a chainsaw, that's different. But if you're
- 4:18Speaker 2: paying someone, they're supposed to take care of it and
- 4:22Speaker 2: deal with it. Also on the subject of fall, and
- 4:26Speaker 2: as we're into now officially as far as the autumnal
- 4:29Speaker 2: equinox and things, and I talk about this often, I
- 4:33Speaker 2: feel like Truly, I go by the calendar seasons. I
- 4:37Speaker 2: don't really subscribe much to this idea. I understand the
- 4:41Speaker 2: value in the astronomical one, but it's just when it
- 4:48Speaker 2: comes to, you know, you got months that kind of
- 4:51Speaker 2: fit in with seasons. And September, October, and November are
- 4:55Speaker 2: those fall months. I know it hasn't felt like it,
- 4:57Speaker 2: and I understand why maybe people don't think of September
- 5:00Speaker 2: as being a fall month. And then, you know, December, January, February,
- 5:05Speaker 2: that's traditionally kind of the winter months. And again, it
- 5:10Speaker 2: doesn't mean that we're going to get really cold weather
- 5:14Speaker 2: even at the beginning of December. We kind of hope
- 5:18Speaker 2: we'll get there, at least by Christmas. And then, you know,
- 5:22Speaker 2: you can do the other three months in stages and
- 5:25Speaker 2: figure out where the others fall. But, you know, to me,
- 5:29Speaker 2: You know, you get to June, July, August. Those are
- 5:32Speaker 2: your summer months. That's how I look at it. So
- 5:34Speaker 2: I don't put a lot into this, but I know
- 5:36Speaker 2: some people do. They go, oh, well, now we're officially
- 5:39Speaker 2: on the other side of the equinox. People don't say that,
- 5:43Speaker 2: but they should. You get on the other side of
- 5:45Speaker 2: the equinox and the days are getting shorter or whatever.
- 5:49Speaker 2: I want to talk, I talked to address this a
- 5:54Speaker 2: little bit, sort of the sudden change protests that happened
- 6:03Speaker 2: right after Austin. And again, not to be somebody who
- 6:07Speaker 2: falls into the category of a conspiracy theorist, but I
- 6:12Speaker 2: do observe things. I do see things. I do kind
- 6:16Speaker 2: of notice trends and pick up on things. And it's
- 6:20Speaker 2: not necessarily me being a conspiracy person in all of this.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Just I just observe the fact that we get into
- 6:28Speaker 2: certain periods of election cycles and then certain things just happen.
- 6:33Speaker 2: You get to a point where they're working on some
- 6:36Speaker 2: legislation about gun control and then there's a school shooting
- 6:40Speaker 2: or something and you go, whoa, what happened? Or we
- 6:44Speaker 2: get a situation where an election of some import is coming,
- 6:50Speaker 2: not that they're not all important, but And then suddenly,
- 6:53Speaker 2: you know, there's a race-charged killing that happens. And then
- 6:58Speaker 2: people are rioting and burning things down and, you know,
- 7:01Speaker 2: trying to scare you into voting a certain way. And
- 7:03Speaker 2: that's what people do. We haven't had as much of
- 7:07Speaker 2: that here lately for whatever reason. You know, I don't
- 7:11Speaker 2: know what the, like, I know it's partly because we
- 7:15Speaker 2: were kind of out of riot season. That's what I've
- 7:19Speaker 2: referred to it. But we've kind of entered into that
- 7:21Speaker 2: period where typically by this point, we got some kind
- 7:24Speaker 2: of thing that's happened. But, you know, we don't have
- 7:28Speaker 2: a situation where somebody tries to assassinate the president or
- 7:30Speaker 2: a candidate for president or whatever. And then people go, oh,
- 7:34Speaker 2: let's go out and riot. That's not what they do. It's, oh,
- 7:38Speaker 2: my gosh, a horrible person, you know, did a horrible
- 7:42Speaker 2: thing and got killed in the process by ICE. So
- 7:44Speaker 2: let's go out and riot. That's what seems to kind
- 7:48Speaker 2: of be the trend with some of these situations, not
- 7:52Speaker 2: all of them. Sometimes it's just people making a bad
- 7:55Speaker 2: decision on the fly, and they try to steer a
- 7:57Speaker 2: car in a direction where there's a police officer that's
- 8:00Speaker 2: an ICE agent because they are law enforcement officers. They're
- 8:03Speaker 2: enforcing the law. They're not police officers, but that's what
- 8:06Speaker 2: they are. And they try to drive at them, and
- 8:09Speaker 2: then they get shot, and people go, well, you're a
- 8:11Speaker 2: perfectly normal person, just got shot for no reason. No,
- 8:14Speaker 2: there's reasons why. when you are driving a vehicle in
- 8:19Speaker 2: the direction of a law enforcement officer. It shouldn't be
- 8:22Speaker 2: law enforcement. That's not a real crime. It is. It's
- 8:26Speaker 2: absolutely a real crime, and you can't do that. Anyway,
- 8:30Speaker 2: and this is not a surprise to me that we
- 8:34Speaker 2: get this close to the midterms, and we get to
- 8:36Speaker 2: a point where it's like, okay, well, what's going to
- 8:38Speaker 2: go on now is we're going to get to this
- 8:42Speaker 2: period where we might get another one of these, maybe two,
- 8:46Speaker 2: or maybe varying degrees of all of this. And we
- 8:52Speaker 2: talked a little bit about what happened in Austin as
- 8:55Speaker 2: a Venezuelan man who was shot by an ICE agent. Now,
- 9:05Speaker 2: The incident happened, and it seems like almost immediately there
- 9:08Speaker 2: were protests that were there. And see, that's reason enough
- 9:11Speaker 2: to be suspicious. And I know we're talking about Austin
- 9:15Speaker 2: and Texas. Texas, very much a battleground state when it
- 9:18Speaker 2: comes to where things are going. Right now, I think
- 9:21Speaker 2: they're saying there's an edge to Tallarico in that Senate race.
- 9:24Speaker 2: I just can't comprehend anyone in the state of Texas
- 9:28Speaker 2: wanting to vote for that guy with his stupid hair
- 9:31Speaker 2: and face, but that's what they want to do. And
- 9:34Speaker 2: I don't know if the polling is correct. It's hard
- 9:37Speaker 2: to know. Sometimes you look at the polling and you go,
- 9:40Speaker 2: this just doesn't add up. Sometimes it kind of makes
- 9:42Speaker 2: sense and you go, well, we'll see. I don't get that.
- 9:46Speaker 2: I don't understand. Texas has a very, you know, at
- 9:49Speaker 2: its core, there's just some values that are there. And
- 9:52Speaker 2: a guy that's running around and rewriting the Bible for
- 9:55Speaker 2: everybody and telling them how dumb they are for not
- 9:58Speaker 2: understanding the Bible the way that he does. doesn't seem
- 10:01Speaker 2: like a very Texas thing to me, especially not telling
- 10:05Speaker 2: them about it with a stupid face and stupid hair.
- 10:08Speaker 2: That's what I don't understand, but that's this guy. That's
- 10:11Speaker 2: who he's been. That's what he's doing. I don't know.
- 10:15Speaker 2: I can speak because I have a stupid face and hair.
- 10:19Speaker 2: So I don't have that stupid face. He's just got
- 10:21Speaker 2: that like face. Anyway. So these people just in Austin,
- 10:28Speaker 2: suddenly let's just, you know, it's almost, and I don't, again,
- 10:32Speaker 2: I'm not a conspiracy guy. I'm really not. Although a
- 10:35Speaker 2: lot of these conspiracies have been, you know, coming up true.
- 10:39Speaker 2: We've been doing this trend of those things, but. It
- 10:44Speaker 2: sometimes like a shooting happens and then protesters are just
- 10:48Speaker 2: ready to go. And you just think, well, wait a minute,
- 10:50Speaker 2: are they sending in the pawns? Like, is that what
- 10:53Speaker 2: they're doing here? Are they setting up a situation where
- 10:55Speaker 2: they're ready to go with something to protest? Cause it
- 10:58Speaker 2: feels like that sometimes. And I say to people all
- 11:01Speaker 2: the time, just remind yourself, you don't have to be
- 11:04Speaker 2: the pawns for the politicians. You don't have to be
- 11:07Speaker 2: the pawns for anybody. You can have your life. You
- 11:11Speaker 2: can live your life, and you don't have to do
- 11:13Speaker 2: their work. Maybe we'll get to more on that in
- 11:16Speaker 2: a minute. But now, these sudden, spontaneous anti-ICE protests that
- 11:25Speaker 2: just showed up in Austin, Texas, immediately after the shooting
- 11:28Speaker 2: took place. And people were reporting, oh my gosh, it
- 11:31Speaker 2: was spontaneous. media accounts reporting it was just, oh man,
- 11:37Speaker 2: people were just, they're so fed up with it that
- 11:40Speaker 2: they just got out there in the streets. But apparently,
- 11:43Speaker 2: after a Fox News Digital did an investigation and they
- 11:49Speaker 2: say that they're being coordinated, these protests, and they were
- 11:55Speaker 2: organized and started by, what do you know? Far left
- 12:00Speaker 2: socialist and communist groups. Including, but not limited to, the
- 12:05Speaker 2: Democratic Socialists of America. You know, the far, far left
- 12:10Speaker 2: people who want to bring down America, and they've infiltrated
- 12:13Speaker 2: and taken over the Democrat Party. And then also the
- 12:16Speaker 2: Freedom Road Socialist Organization. I'm not familiar with their work.
- 12:20Speaker 2: I don't know what they got going on. And then
- 12:24Speaker 2: also the Party for Socialism and Liberation. These are all
- 12:30Speaker 2: parties that certainly don't sound... Like they're just gateways to communism,
- 12:35Speaker 2: do they? Oh, wait, yeah, they do. The Party for
- 12:39Speaker 2: Socialism and Liberation, I guess funded by Neville Roy Singham, communist,
- 12:45Speaker 2: American-born tech tycoon who lives in Shanghai.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Okay.
- 12:52Speaker 2: So that, as them being the organizers of this, shouldn't
- 12:57Speaker 2: surprise anybody. They want to take down America. They want
- 13:01Speaker 2: to take down American values. And you have a law
- 13:04Speaker 2: enforcement situation where someone, and again, I can't tell you
- 13:10Speaker 2: all of what happened behind the scenes in every one
- 13:13Speaker 2: of these situations, but I can tell you this. If
- 13:16Speaker 2: a shooting happens in a state where there's a lot
- 13:20Speaker 2: at stake, And it's in a very far left city
- 13:25Speaker 2: that happens to be in that state. And that's what
- 13:27Speaker 2: Austin is. And I say very far left. It's a
- 13:30Speaker 2: lefty city. I don't know about far left, but probably
- 13:35Speaker 2: would be. For Texas, it's far left. How about that?
- 13:39Speaker 2: But not as far left as El Paso. That's a
- 13:44Speaker 2: West Texas town. And that's far left physically. Love some
- 13:51Speaker 2: Marty Robbins. Anyway. And by the way, Breaking Bad, the
- 13:55Speaker 2: whole show is El Paso by Marty Robbins. The song
- 14:01Speaker 2: is the show. But anyway, if you didn't know that,
- 14:04Speaker 2: you should go back and rewatch it after listening to
- 14:06Speaker 2: the song. So for this to just spontaneously, they just
- 14:11Speaker 2: have these people just suddenly ready to go with signs
- 14:14Speaker 2: and everything. They're all just there ready to scream and
- 14:17Speaker 2: shout at ICE. It's suspicious. How do you not see
- 14:22Speaker 2: this and go, something doesn't feel right? And then back
- 14:25Speaker 2: to this pawn analogy, because if people are willing to, again,
- 14:31Speaker 2: not want to waste a tragedy, you just got to think,
- 14:38Speaker 2: is it possible that people would instigate a tragedy for
- 14:41Speaker 2: the purposes of not wasting it, trying to figure out
- 14:45Speaker 2: how they can utilize it? Someone gets shot, someone gets killed,
- 14:48Speaker 2: whatever it is. It just feels like, you know, you
- 14:52Speaker 2: got pawns. You have people taking shots at Trump. You
- 14:56Speaker 2: got other people taking shots at Trump. And you just go, well,
- 15:00Speaker 2: are these the pawns? Because it is possible. That's the
- 15:06Speaker 2: way the conspiracy thing works, though, doesn't it? You just
- 15:08Speaker 2: throw in the, is it possible? But it just seems
- 15:10Speaker 2: a little suspicious, doesn't it? When suddenly they're just ready
- 15:14Speaker 2: to go, like almost immediately. They're just, hey, we protest this.
- 15:19Speaker 2: This shooting happened. And we're going to stand here and
- 15:22Speaker 2: shout at you again like all these other people do
- 15:26Speaker 2: any chance that we get. Don't be surprised if we
- 15:29Speaker 2: get some more of these. It's sad that it happened.
- 15:32Speaker 2: It's sad that someone was shot. It's terrible. That's not
- 15:35Speaker 2: great news in any capacity. But it's really sad that
- 15:41Speaker 2: it gets doubled down on it when it becomes the
- 15:44Speaker 2: purpose of trying to navigate an election and impact an election.
- 15:48Speaker 2: One more thing from yesterday because... I mentioned the Carrot
- 15:53Speaker 2: Top suicide attempt. I was not fully versed in this tape.
- 16:00Speaker 2: He's got a tape, I guess. It's one of them tapes.
- 16:05Speaker 2: And I guess there was someone who was extorting him
- 16:07Speaker 2: for money or threatening to release the tape, and that
- 16:10Speaker 2: was part of it. Look, I understand that. I didn't
- 16:13Speaker 2: know the full details and all that. I kind of
- 16:15Speaker 2: was encouraged by someone to look into that a little
- 16:18Speaker 2: bit more because there was more to the suicide attempt, apparently.
- 16:21Speaker 2: But Listen, if he's in on the joke about him
- 16:25Speaker 2: sucking and stinking as a comedian and all that, it's fine.
- 16:29Speaker 2: But then you take this other thing, and I was
- 16:31Speaker 2: just trying to point out the fact that, and I
- 16:33Speaker 2: knew a little bit about that. I didn't know all
- 16:35Speaker 2: the details about the extortion thing. But I just think
- 16:38Speaker 2: when you take whatever he was dealing with, and he's
- 16:42Speaker 2: had all these years of people just piling on him,
- 16:46Speaker 2: that's all I was trying to get to. I was
- 16:48Speaker 2: trying to make that point. And I want to acknowledge
- 16:51Speaker 2: the fact that there was more to the case than
- 16:54Speaker 2: just as simple as he had tried to kill himself. Well,
- 16:57Speaker 2: if you're like me and my family, you struggle probably
- 17:01Speaker 2: to come up with something different in the regular meal
- 17:06Speaker 2: rotation every single day. We plan out our week. We
- 17:11Speaker 2: try to figure out what we're going to have for

- 20:37Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night
- 20:40Speaker 2: events also on their website. It's CCSSC.org. As Sean Cruzan says, CharlieCharlieSamSamCharlie.org.
- 20:49Speaker 2: I just remind you that it stands for Coca-Cola Space
- 20:53Speaker 2: Science Center, CCSSC.org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
- 20:58Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial...
- 21:03Speaker 2: or residential, maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for.
- 21:08Speaker 2: It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has
- 21:12Speaker 2: parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead
- 21:15Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that
- 21:18Speaker 2: away for you. And while they're there, you can always
- 21:21Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
- 21:24Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
- 21:27Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
- 21:30Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
- 21:33Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
- 21:36Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
- 21:42Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
- 21:46Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
- 21:49Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
- 21:52Speaker 2: door system. that you can put down and you can
- 21:55Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor,
- 21:59Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
- 22:01Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 22:04Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
- 22:05Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
- 22:08Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
- 22:10Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
- 22:13Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
- 22:16Speaker 2: your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
- 22:19Speaker 2: come help. And they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.
- 22:30Speaker 2: More West Carol Morning Show right after the break. Well,
- 22:41Speaker 2: forget the idea of camera ready. The latest fashion trend
- 22:45Speaker 2: is looking like you didn't try so hard, fashion experts.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Say we're entering an era of analog dressing where clothes
- 22:53Speaker 2: are intentionally imperfect. A reaction to years of curating every
- 22:59Speaker 2: outfit for selfie, social media posts, and online approval. The
- 23:03Speaker 2: trend showed up all over New York Fashion Week with
- 23:06Speaker 2: designers featuring shirts that look backward, crooked buttons, wrinkled fabrics,
- 23:11Speaker 2: and outfits that appeared casually thrown together, analog dressing. is
- 23:16Speaker 2: basically fashion's version of unplugging. Just as people are embracing
- 23:23Speaker 2: vinyl records, film cameras, and other offline hobbies, they're also
- 23:27Speaker 2: moving away from perfectly polished looks and embracing a more lived-in,
- 23:31Speaker 2: spontaneous lifestyle. First of all, when I saw the story
- 23:36Speaker 2: and it said analog dressing, I thought that meant like
- 23:39Speaker 2: stovetop stuffing. That's what I thought it was, because that
- 23:43Speaker 2: stuff's not great. Um, I know some people will swear
- 23:48Speaker 2: by it. Uh, that's not what we do in the
- 23:50Speaker 2: Carol household for Thanksgiving. Right. That's just not what we do.
- 23:56Speaker 2: We're not stuffing people. We don't stuff it in the,
- 24:00Speaker 2: you know, bird, but we're, we're dressing people and stovetop
- 24:06Speaker 2: ain't getting it done. We're going digital with our dressing anyway. Uh, listen, um,
- 24:14Speaker 2: I'm all for this idea of not trying too hard
- 24:19Speaker 2: when it comes to dressing. I think the whole trying
- 24:23Speaker 2: too hard thing is incredibly overrated. However, crooked buttons, things
- 24:32Speaker 2: that look like they're on backwards, I draw the line there.
- 24:36Speaker 2: That's where, to me, you're just pushing it. You know,
- 24:43Speaker 2: look casual, look comfortable. I don't have a problem with that.
- 24:47Speaker 2: Everybody knows I'm likely to have on my khaki shorts
- 24:50Speaker 2: or cargo shorts or, you know, some kind of a
- 24:54Speaker 2: superhero themed t-shirt is likely. It's possible. Or, you know,
- 24:59Speaker 2: a golf shirt, something like that. Maybe some slides or
- 25:04Speaker 2: at the very least my By Adidas. That's kind of
- 25:09Speaker 2: what you're getting with me. And I think maybe I
- 25:12Speaker 2: deserve some credit for this analog dressing thing. I just
- 25:16Speaker 2: don't want it to be like it's on backwards and
- 25:18Speaker 2: the buttons to be out of, I can't, I don't
- 25:21Speaker 2: want to see that. That's not comfortable for me. That
- 25:24Speaker 2: causes problems. Speaking of clothes, if you've got a closet
- 25:27Speaker 2: full of just in case stuff, there's a new decluttering
- 25:31Speaker 2: trick that says it's time to be honest with yourself.
- 25:34Speaker 2: The viral 90, 90 rule. is designed to make cleaning
- 25:38Speaker 2: out your home a lot less emotional. The concept is simple.
- 25:43Speaker 2: You pick up an item and you ask yourself two questions.
- 25:46Speaker 2: Have I used it in the last 90 days? And
- 25:48Speaker 2: will I realistically use it in the next 90 days?
- 25:52Speaker 2: If the answer to both is no, it's probably time
- 25:55Speaker 2: to donate it, sell it, or toss it. Or keep
- 25:58Speaker 2: it for another 90 days. That's what I do. Or another,
- 26:02Speaker 2: you know, nine years. The idea isn't to get rid
- 26:07Speaker 2: of everything. Seasonal items like winter coats, holiday decorations, luggage,
- 26:11Speaker 2: and other things you only use a few times a
- 26:13Speaker 2: year are obvious exceptions to this rule. The goal is
- 26:16Speaker 2: simply to identify what's serving a purpose versus what's taking
- 26:20Speaker 2: up space. Professional organizers say the rule works because it
- 26:24Speaker 2: cuts through the endless what-if-I-need-this-later debate that keeps a lot
- 26:28Speaker 2: of people from ever decluttering in the first place. Sentimentality.
- 26:34Speaker 2: Is what keeps you from doing it. You think, oh,
- 26:36Speaker 2: I'd like to hang on to this. I like this.
- 26:39Speaker 2: I want this. Right? Forget massages. Some people are now
- 26:44Speaker 2: paying to get scratched. A 32-year-old man in China has
- 26:48Speaker 2: opened two unusual scratching salons where customers pay to relax
- 26:52Speaker 2: while staff gently scratch their backs and bodies using specially
- 26:56Speaker 2: designed fingernails. The idea came after he saw a video
- 27:01Speaker 2: of a wife scratching her husband's back and noticed tons
- 27:03Speaker 2: of people saying they'd gladly pay for that service. The
- 27:06Speaker 2: salons charge about $ 40 an hour. And the owner says
- 27:10Speaker 2: business is booming with customers saying the experience is even
- 27:13Speaker 2: more relaxing than a massage. Some of those massages, they
- 27:17Speaker 2: get a little in there too much, you know? I mean,
- 27:19Speaker 2: you want to like a deep tissue thing every now
- 27:22Speaker 2: and then, but not all of them. Sometimes you don't
- 27:25Speaker 2: want to come out of there like you've been at
- 27:26Speaker 2: the gym and You want to come out of there
- 27:28Speaker 2: feeling relaxed. I think the scratching thing would work. Think
- 27:32Speaker 2: about your dog or your cat. How do they feel
- 27:34Speaker 2: after they've been scratched for a while? That's the benefit.
- 27:38Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and invent something. We've been doing this
- 27:40Speaker 2: with our pets forever. That'll do it for this Wednesday
- 27:45Speaker 2: edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons.
- 27:48Speaker 2: Thanks for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
