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.
0:11
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, tenth day of June. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:16
Speaker 2: joining me. Man a busy day in the news yesterday.
0:23
Speaker 2: There's a lot to talk about. I had something planned
0:28
Speaker 2: to talk about today. I'm really going to focus largely
0:30
Speaker 2: on that. But this obviously the helicopter being shot down,
0:38
Speaker 2: the two airmen were rescued pretty cool by drone boat
0:44
Speaker 2: and all of that. That's all playing out and it's
0:47
Speaker 2: a bit of an ongoing story as far as that goes.
0:53
Speaker 2: We had that, We had this moment yesterday where we
0:58
Speaker 2: had members of Congress and some ex Spurts and things
1:01
Speaker 2: that were standing outside giving a press conference about UAPs.
1:07
Speaker 2: That's the thing formerly known as UFOs. I take for
1:13
Speaker 2: granted that people know that we've changed that terminology. It
1:17
Speaker 2: was unidentified flying object. That was the term used for
1:20
Speaker 2: a long time. Then they decided because there there are
1:27
Speaker 2: the and then they changed I think it was unidentified
1:32
Speaker 2: aerial phenomenon or phenomena or whatever, and then then they
1:39
Speaker 2: changed it to anomalous. Right, So it was like basically
1:48
Speaker 2: it's the same idea, except some of these aerial crafts
1:51
Speaker 2: would go under water that they haven't been able to
1:55
Speaker 2: haven't been able to identify what they are. So the
2:00
Speaker 2: idea is that this UAP because it's not just aerial,
2:09
Speaker 2: so it's not a flying object, you know, that's the thing.
2:13
Speaker 2: But people are still kind of using the term UFO,
2:15
Speaker 2: which is fine. It's like asking people suddenly to start,
2:19
Speaker 2: you know, with a different, different terminology for it. But
2:23
Speaker 2: it was just kind of wild because there's a moment
2:25
Speaker 2: where I'm watching this uh yesterday and I see this
2:30
Speaker 2: image on the screen and the headline of the the
2:35
Speaker 2: and this is I think it's called Fox one. It's
2:38
Speaker 2: one of the the it's like the Fox News B team,
2:41
Speaker 2: I guess Representative Eric Burlson, Republican, Missouri. And then the quote,
2:49
Speaker 2: the quote after it says non human entities end quote
2:53
Speaker 2: reported uh, And this was part of this this is
2:58
Speaker 2: the Task Force on the d classification of these UAPs.
3:04
Speaker 2: But that headline looked pretty terrifying when you just saw
3:08
Speaker 2: it on TV, but in context and knowing what they're
3:11
Speaker 2: talking about, they're addressing reports of something that happened in
3:15
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety six in Brazil, and they're saying that there
3:19
Speaker 2: are people in Brazil that want to come forward about
3:22
Speaker 2: the little brown men. I guess they were they. I
3:26
Speaker 2: don't think they were little green men. But these they
3:28
Speaker 2: say some sort of creature from beyond our solar system.
3:36
Speaker 2: I guess I don't know. But they're saying that it
3:38
Speaker 2: was spotted and retrieved by the government, and who knows,
3:42
Speaker 2: who knows what that story is. I think there's people
3:45
Speaker 2: just saying, well, we need to know the story so
3:47
Speaker 2: we can know if it's a real story or not.
3:50
Speaker 2: But it was just a strange headline, and it's one
3:52
Speaker 2: of those things that wouldn't have been a news worthy item.
3:57
Speaker 2: You know, this would have been you know, Coast to
3:59
Speaker 2: Coast AM or the tabloid magazines. At the grocery store,
4:05
Speaker 2: those were the glory days or they when we had
4:08
Speaker 2: those you know, rat Boy, bat Boy whatever, bat Boy,
4:12
Speaker 2: we had those. I was working in a grocery store
4:15
Speaker 2: back in those days, so we could take time to
4:18
Speaker 2: check the check those out when we were on break.
4:21
Speaker 2: So anyway, now it's just news. Like now it's a
4:25
Speaker 2: real legitimate news story because you know these are you know,
4:33
Speaker 2: it's it's made its way into Congress. It's something that's
4:35
Speaker 2: being talked about in Congress. Uh we talked a little
4:40
Speaker 2: bit the other day about but the California situation with
4:43
Speaker 2: them still counting ballots into yesterday and still you know,
4:47
Speaker 2: trying to figure out I guess ultimately who who they're
4:50
Speaker 2: going to decide Whens. That's what it feels like. It's
4:54
Speaker 2: pretty suspicious when you're still counting ballots. You know, we
4:57
Speaker 2: got third world countries that hold elections do better at
5:00
Speaker 2: counting ballots. In California can't do it. Fulton County can't
5:04
Speaker 2: do it. But you know, so that's been going on. Obviously,
5:09
Speaker 2: the main election was yesterday, but I wanted to talk
5:15
Speaker 2: Oh and then of course the Carmelo Anthony verdict was yesterday,
5:20
Speaker 2: and the response that people had to that situation, you know,
5:25
Speaker 2: kind of what we to expect this is people are
5:29
Speaker 2: pouncing on an opportunity to riot. A young black man
5:35
Speaker 2: killed a young white man and stabbed him. He tried
5:38
Speaker 2: to plead self defense, and you know, there was evidence submitted.
5:44
Speaker 2: They put him on the stand during the trial, which
5:47
Speaker 2: when you're the defendant, never a good idea. But you know,
5:51
Speaker 2: people have seen this as an opportunity to without really
5:55
Speaker 2: any understanding of exactly what the case was. That you
5:59
Speaker 2: get people you're tapping into a certain thing for them
6:04
Speaker 2: and they say, well, this is injustice. Clearly, it must
6:06
Speaker 2: be injustice that this guy was prosecuted for this and
6:11
Speaker 2: this coming. You know, we've got evidence now or testimony,
6:16
Speaker 2: I don't even know what you call it. Interviews I
6:19
Speaker 2: guess of people that were jurors on the OJ Simpson trial,
6:23
Speaker 2: as you know, as another book come out or a
6:28
Speaker 2: documentary or something about it, and there are people that were,
6:31
Speaker 2: you know, jurors there that said we we knew he
6:34
Speaker 2: probably did it, and we voted not guilty because we
6:38
Speaker 2: were trying to get some justice for Rodney King and
6:42
Speaker 2: for some other things. And it's you know, and there
6:47
Speaker 2: were a lot of people that then they wouldn't admit it,
6:49
Speaker 2: They would not come close to admitting that it's possible
6:52
Speaker 2: that OJ was guilty. But then you got these jurors going, yeah,
6:56
Speaker 2: we saw the evidence. Think about what a travesty that is,
7:00
Speaker 2: what a failure that is. And to me, I feel
7:04
Speaker 2: like admitting that you call you you decided someone was
7:09
Speaker 2: not guilty for something when you knew that they were guilty.
7:14
Speaker 2: That almost seems like that should be a crime. I mean,
7:19
Speaker 2: is that should that be contempt of court? It just
7:24
Speaker 2: seems like, I mean, it's one thing if you do it,
7:27
Speaker 2: and then another thing to admit it. You know, I
7:30
Speaker 2: feel like that should be a long like a life long,
7:33
Speaker 2: like no statute of limitations on that. I think. I
7:36
Speaker 2: don't know, I haven't thought this through. And again, I'm
7:38
Speaker 2: not a I'm not a lawyer. I'm not a legal expert.
7:42
Speaker 2: You could probably pick apart my thinking on that if
7:44
Speaker 2: you really wanted to. But it just seems to me
7:47
Speaker 2: like that's that's pretty much a joke. And ultimately, when
7:51
Speaker 2: we have these people who will later you know, start
7:56
Speaker 2: to slowly admit, yeah, we knew Trump really didn't do
7:58
Speaker 2: anything wrong, or yeah we knew Trump really shouldn't have
8:01
Speaker 2: been tried as a felon for these things, but you know,
8:04
Speaker 2: we wanted to get him. I do know a few
8:08
Speaker 2: people personally that have admitted that, I mean, they weren't
8:11
Speaker 2: part of the trials or anything, but they have said
8:14
Speaker 2: that they that you're basically, you know, it's okay, it's
8:21
Speaker 2: justified to prosecute him as a felon or to impeach
8:26
Speaker 2: him because some people don't like him. And then that's
8:30
Speaker 2: how you get a candidate like you know, Graham Platner
8:33
Speaker 2: that comes along and people defend him. But anyway, and
8:35
Speaker 2: that's another thing from yesterday is people are looking for
8:38
Speaker 2: that opportunity to riot and tear the country apart. And
8:41
Speaker 2: you know, we're in midterm election season, so there's a
8:44
Speaker 2: lot going on. But I do want to address this
8:47
Speaker 2: because we have this. There's a couple of takes on this.
8:53
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you my take on it now.
8:56
Speaker 2: This interview Kristen Welker who got up and walked out.
9:01
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Donald Trump got up and walked out on
9:03
Speaker 2: his interview with her Meet the Press. She didn't walk
9:06
Speaker 2: out on him. He got up and walked out on her.
9:10
Speaker 2: And it's there's a few takes on it. First of all,
9:14
Speaker 2: I don't I don't like that he got up and
9:17
Speaker 2: walked out. I understand the frustration and all of it.
9:21
Speaker 2: A lot of people are The take on it for
9:23
Speaker 2: the left, of course, is that you know, he can't
9:26
Speaker 2: handle being challenged on things, so he stormed off. I
9:30
Speaker 2: think when you are president of the United States, you
9:32
Speaker 2: have to have the patience to be asked the same
9:35
Speaker 2: questions over and over again. I know he's fed up
9:38
Speaker 2: with some of the questions. I don't blame him for
9:41
Speaker 2: having a short fuse on some of these things. I
9:43
Speaker 2: think this whole thing where you know, do asking him
9:46
Speaker 2: about you know, white supremacy and things like that, over
9:51
Speaker 2: and over and over again, and you know, do you
9:53
Speaker 2: do you? You know, do you what is your position
9:57
Speaker 2: on the white suburrs? Do you want them to vote
9:59
Speaker 2: for you? You know? Over and over again? And he's
10:02
Speaker 2: having to answer him over So I get that, and
10:05
Speaker 2: I understand that he's got frustration with that. But you know,
10:08
Speaker 2: you agree to a one on one interview, I feel
10:10
Speaker 2: like you got to sit there and answer the questions,
10:12
Speaker 2: go through all of it. But anyway, he did not.
10:16
Speaker 2: He got up and he said, we're done. You're you're
10:18
Speaker 2: a fake, You're awful, You're terrible. And this is where
10:22
Speaker 2: things kind of like because I also think that we
10:27
Speaker 2: have a significant problem with our media. We have had
10:30
Speaker 2: it for a long time. And it's not just the
10:33
Speaker 2: bias that's in the media. It's not just the attitude
10:37
Speaker 2: the Scott Pelly's what a pompous, what a pompous jackass.
10:43
Speaker 2: He gets fired and then he's just you know, confused.
10:46
Speaker 2: He called it like I would say, it was like
10:48
Speaker 2: somebody dying or something. I mean, look, you were associated
10:52
Speaker 2: with CBS for a long time. I don't you know.
10:57
Speaker 2: I think that ultimately, how you acted to upper management
11:01
Speaker 2: is what got him fired. I say it like he's listening,
11:04
Speaker 2: that's what got him fired. The way he handled it.
11:06
Speaker 2: Didn't like the fact that CBS was under new leadership
11:11
Speaker 2: and was trying to actually be kind of an unbiased network.
11:15
Speaker 2: But I know that there's still a lot of hard feelings,
11:23
Speaker 2: soreness in the backside. That's another way to say that
11:26
Speaker 2: term that people say, but hurt, I can say, I
11:29
Speaker 2: say that that's not that bad, you know. But that
11:37
Speaker 2: issue is one thing. The arrogance, the bias, the things
11:43
Speaker 2: that we have seen playing out over and over and
11:46
Speaker 2: over again. And this isn't just to Trump. People try
11:50
Speaker 2: to tell you that this is just about Trump, that
11:54
Speaker 2: the calling him a Nazi and calling him racist and
11:57
Speaker 2: calling him all these horrible things. They did all this
12:00
Speaker 2: with George W. Bush. They have done this now and
12:03
Speaker 2: if you count Trump as two presidents, the last three
12:06
Speaker 2: Republican presidents. I'm sure you can go back to some
12:09
Speaker 2: other cases of that. I don't know anybody called Reagan that,
12:12
Speaker 2: and you know that's different, I guess, and I don't
12:15
Speaker 2: know that they called Senior Bush hw any of those things.
12:21
Speaker 2: But definitely by w it was pretty popular to have
12:25
Speaker 2: people calling him a Nazi in the media kind of
12:28
Speaker 2: playing up to all that because they did. It was there.
12:33
Speaker 2: It was all there, warmonger, nazi, all those things. So
12:38
Speaker 2: no matter what your opinion of him is, because now
12:41
Speaker 2: the left loves him, it's weird they love w but anyway,
12:47
Speaker 2: so that's all there. But then there's this other part
12:51
Speaker 2: of this, which is the incompetence from some of the media.
12:57
Speaker 2: And I would just like to point out that someone
13:00
Speaker 2: who didn't it made an attempt at bringing this to
13:04
Speaker 2: light is was John Stewart on The Daily Show because
13:08
Speaker 2: that show was he retired from that show and then
13:11
Speaker 2: the show was bombing and failing miserably, and they were like,
13:14
Speaker 2: we got to bring him back, so he's back on there,
13:17
Speaker 2: and he basically was being very critical of Welker's instead
13:23
Speaker 2: of like holding Trump to the fire and saying, excuse me, sir,
13:28
Speaker 2: but you should answer these questions. Her argument to try
13:31
Speaker 2: to get him to stay was, I traveled all the
13:35
Speaker 2: way to Wisconsin. Mister President, please, I travel all the
13:38
Speaker 2: way to Wisconsin. It's funny. And he's he's joking about
13:42
Speaker 2: you know, I had to sit in business class, you know,
13:45
Speaker 2: and he had the joke Wheel of Fortunes on an
13:50
Speaker 2: hour earlier here and all these things. So I called
13:53
Speaker 2: him the people in Wisconsin are savages, and and he's
13:58
Speaker 2: critical of that, and he's like, well, maybe they'll do
14:00
Speaker 2: a better job of kind of holding his feet to
14:02
Speaker 2: the fire on things. And then he cut to a
14:04
Speaker 2: clip of her on Meet the Press talking about the
14:07
Speaker 2: interview and said that we both acknowledged that there were
14:09
Speaker 2: some challenges with the rain and had to laugh about
14:14
Speaker 2: that about how you know, she wasn't doing a great
14:17
Speaker 2: job of holding his feet to the fire. And this
14:19
Speaker 2: just brings me to my point about the people in
14:23
Speaker 2: these high positions from a journalist's standpoint, that aren't just
14:27
Speaker 2: there to ask the questions. And she was asking I think,
14:30
Speaker 2: you know, especially from a journalistic standpoint, some of the
14:33
Speaker 2: questions she was asking, you should ask. Has he already
14:36
Speaker 2: been asked them a thousand times? Probably? But you know
14:41
Speaker 2: she's at least asking some of the right questions. But again,
14:45
Speaker 2: these this was two people who kind of handled the
14:47
Speaker 2: situation awkwardly. And I know you can go, well, the
14:50
Speaker 2: president should have handled it better, he's the president. But
14:54
Speaker 2: in this situation of an interview standpoint, you know, we've
14:57
Speaker 2: seen other people storm off of interviews because the interviewer
15:00
Speaker 2: just didn't seem to know what they were doing. And
15:03
Speaker 2: I think that the way that she handled it showed
15:05
Speaker 2: she didn't really know what she was doing. And I
15:07
Speaker 2: can't I don't know a lot of her work. I've
15:09
Speaker 2: seen her interviews before. I've probably watched some of what
15:14
Speaker 2: she's done on Meet the Press. It's not really something
15:18
Speaker 2: I spend a lot of time watching. But anyway, it
15:22
Speaker 2: was just a weird exchange and the fact that we're
15:27
Speaker 2: not asking more of our media because I think John
15:30
Speaker 2: Stewart is right in this regard and that you know,
15:33
Speaker 2: at least this was an opportunity for the media to
15:38
Speaker 2: to they didn't even do what she's supposed to be
15:41
Speaker 2: there to do. I mean, she should have kind of
15:43
Speaker 2: had a gotcha moment with Trump, and she did not have.
15:46
Speaker 2: She didn't seize it because she herself didn't handle it
15:49
Speaker 2: well in the moment, so I don't know. And then
15:54
Speaker 2: just back to Scott Pelly for a minute. Bill Maher
15:58
Speaker 2: had his on Scott Pelley. It's kind of humbling the
16:03
Speaker 2: idea of Scott Pelly being this great national treasure. I
16:06
Speaker 2: thought that was classic, just kind of one of those
16:08
Speaker 2: things where you know, I think we've over over hyped
16:13
Speaker 2: Scott Pelly and his contribution to media. And you know this,
16:20
Speaker 2: he said, I feel like we're seeing everything through such
16:23
Speaker 2: a partisan lens. It says, oh my god, sixty minutes
16:27
Speaker 2: has a new cast, and he's like, well, so to
16:29
Speaker 2: Saturday Night Live. And I agree with that. I agree
16:33
Speaker 2: with that, but I've been agreeing with him certainly more
16:36
Speaker 2: than John Stewart lately. But anyway, it's media could do
16:42
Speaker 2: better with obviously not being a hack, not looking at
16:48
Speaker 2: it through a partisan lens in general, but then just
16:51
Speaker 2: doing the job in general, just doing the job that
16:55
Speaker 2: you're supposed to be doing. And I just I know,
16:58
Speaker 2: we've got obviously met that can do this, but when
17:02
Speaker 2: you're hosting Meet the Press, and the best that you
17:04
Speaker 2: could come up with, I came all the way from Wisconsin,
17:10
Speaker 2: doesn't see it's just not the right response. And I
17:13
Speaker 2: don't know what the sitution. I know it was raining.
17:15
Speaker 2: I guess during the interview they were in a barn
17:17
Speaker 2: or something, so that was probably justified. But it was
17:19
Speaker 2: certainly a funny clip there for Stewart. Today's Show brought
17:23
Speaker 2: to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center,

Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
19:49
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:52
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
19:55
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
19:59
Speaker 2: issue that you've got With colder, warmer weather, sometimes that
20:03
Speaker 2: stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at
20:06
Speaker 2: a situation where you'd like to add a screen door
20:09
Speaker 2: to your garage door system that you can put down
20:12
Speaker 2: and you can use your garage space as a sort
20:15
Speaker 2: of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like to
20:18
Speaker 2: work on your own cars in there, or maybe you
20:20
Speaker 2: just want a little man cavid you'd like to be
20:22
Speaker 2: able to open the door up and not invite all
20:24
Speaker 2: the insects in. They can do that for you as well,
20:27
Speaker 2: and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse
20:30
Speaker 2: than that thought of having your car trapped inside your
20:33
Speaker 2: garage and your garage door won't open and you need
20:36
Speaker 2: somebody to come help. And they do those as well.

20:58
Speaker 2: some numbers at the investment banking firm Jeffreys have calculated
21:04
Speaker 2: soccer fans will guzzle one billion pints of beer during
21:09
Speaker 2: the month long World Cup tournament. That's up five percent
21:14
Speaker 2: compared to twenty twenty two's tournament. Thirsty fans in luck
21:18
Speaker 2: because eighty five percent of the tournament's matches are scheduled
21:23
Speaker 2: to take place during prime beer drinking hours across host
21:27
Speaker 2: nations of the United States, Mexico, and Canada. If you're
21:31
Speaker 2: heading to one of the sixteen official stadiums, your choices
21:34
Speaker 2: at the concession stand will be well, they'll be numerous
21:40
Speaker 2: Mikoloboltrust Artois, Neutral Vodka, Seltzer. Even though a billion beers
21:47
Speaker 2: sounds like a lot, it's just a fraction of the
21:49
Speaker 2: total that happens on Super Bowl Sunday, when Americans it's
21:55
Speaker 2: closer to two point eight billion pints of beer that
21:59
Speaker 2: go down that one single day. Still though, for it
22:03
Speaker 2: to be as high as it is for soccer, I
22:07
Speaker 2: guess that's impressive in the US, but it obviously includes
22:11
Speaker 2: Canada and Mexico. So for over a century now, scientists
22:15
Speaker 2: have been forming a habit. Believe that forming a habit,
22:19
Speaker 2: I should say, was a slow process. It requires weeks
22:22
Speaker 2: of constant repetition before your brain finally goes on autopilot.
22:26
Speaker 2: But there's a new study suggesting that our brains actually
22:29
Speaker 2: form habits in an instant, like flipping an internal switch
22:34
Speaker 2: just suddenly. Researchers tested motivation and mice and found the
22:39
Speaker 2: mice could jump from making thoughtful, gold directed choices to
22:43
Speaker 2: having those choices hardwired habits in a matter of seconds,
22:47
Speaker 2: so they just flip over. Even better, researchers caught a
22:51
Speaker 2: specific brain region controlling this sudden flip, which means scientists
22:55
Speaker 2: are on their way toward finding a way to flip
22:57
Speaker 2: the switch backward and instantly delete worst habits. So I
23:04
Speaker 2: guess for me, I tend to think of, you know,
23:07
Speaker 2: the bad habits that we develop as you know, the
23:10
Speaker 2: opposite of the good habits. So I feel like if
23:13
Speaker 2: we're switching the switchover for the good habit, then we're
23:16
Speaker 2: getting rid of the bad ones, right, But I guess
23:17
Speaker 2: that's not necessarily the case. Sometimes it's just about stopping
23:21
Speaker 2: the bad habits and not necessarily creating a new one. Anyway,
23:23
Speaker 2: it's pretty fascinating stuff there, so you know, I guess
23:27
Speaker 2: there's some hope we might not actually have to put
23:29
Speaker 2: all the work in. You know, there's a few things
23:33
Speaker 2: that we've found some shortcuts with and I think that
23:35
Speaker 2: that's a good thing. And I'm thinking like golp ones,
23:39
Speaker 2: for example, it's a bit of a shortcut. So speaking
23:43
Speaker 2: of glp ones, there are some people who are taking
23:47
Speaker 2: golp ones like ozempic or Wegovi and keeping it not
23:51
Speaker 2: just from like friends or coworkers, but hiding it from
23:57
Speaker 2: their partners. And apparently this is more common than you
24:00
Speaker 2: might think. For a lot of women, the secrecy comes
24:03
Speaker 2: down to fear of judgment, lectures, or their partner not
24:05
Speaker 2: understanding why they're using the medication in the first place.
24:08
Speaker 2: For some, their partners had already expressed concerns about side
24:11
Speaker 2: effects or didn't support the idea, so it just feels
24:15
Speaker 2: easier to keep it quiet. In fact, on a recent
24:19
Speaker 2: thread on Reddit's GLP one microdosing. There were women who
24:24
Speaker 2: swapped some of the ways that they hide the weight
24:26
Speaker 2: loss meds from their partners, and everything from baking soda
24:29
Speaker 2: boxes and the back of the fridge to a pet's
24:32
Speaker 2: pill bottle to a reusable water bottle. Careful with the
24:36
Speaker 2: pet meds. I'm just saying, you don't want an accident.
24:40
Speaker 2: You don't want an oops with the pet. I don't
24:43
Speaker 2: know exactly what that would do to the pet, but
24:46
Speaker 2: you know, I've seen a few pets that could probably
24:49
Speaker 2: use the golp ones if they're saved. I don't know.
24:51
Speaker 2: I'm not recommending that, just saying, but it is interesting
24:55
Speaker 2: to know that there were some that don't even want
24:57
Speaker 2: their partner to know that they're doing it. So how
25:02
Speaker 2: many jobs do you have? May seem like an odd question,
25:06
Speaker 2: but presently it seems that there are more Americans juggling
25:10
Speaker 2: more than one job. According to a new cash app study,
25:13
Speaker 2: about fifty four million people now have multiple sources of income,
25:17
Speaker 2: up sharply from forty one million just two years ago,
25:21
Speaker 2: and it's being driven a lot by gen z. Nearly
25:24
Speaker 2: sixteen percent of gen Z holds more than one job,
25:27
Speaker 2: about five times the rate of baby boomers. The rise
25:30
Speaker 2: reflecting both economic pressure and new opportunities as apps and
25:35
Speaker 2: gig platforms make it easier to stack income streams. I
25:39
Speaker 2: think also maybe for people that are still working remotely,
25:44
Speaker 2: you're saving a lot of time in your week if
25:46
Speaker 2: you're not having to commute, especially if you live in
25:48
Speaker 2: a city where it would be a lot of time
25:50
Speaker 2: like Atlanta, New York, places where there's a lot of
25:53
Speaker 2: commute time involved. If you're able to save you ten
25:57
Speaker 2: to fifteen hours a week that was kind of part
25:59
Speaker 2: of your work routine before, and you're able to work
26:02
Speaker 2: another job and make some more income, I could see
26:05
Speaker 2: that that would be appealing to many, especially with you know,
26:11
Speaker 2: I don't know, you're saving a lot of money on
26:12
Speaker 2: price of gas if you're not having to drive to work.
26:14
Speaker 2: But anyway, that'll do it for this Wednesday edition of
26:18
