  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, twenty sixth day of November. I'm Wes. Thanks
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: for joining me. Thanksgiving Eve. We made it to Wednesday.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: I wasn't sure I was going to get to Wednesday,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: but we made it to Wednesday. With shows this week,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I wanted to do that. Didn't really know how this
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: was all going to play out. Had a lot going
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: on this week and more to come. Obviously, I'm not
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: traveling far for Thanksgiving, so i don't have to do
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: a lot of travel. I know people that are. I
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: know people that will be hitting the road this evening,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: like after work today.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: That may be you.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Safe travels, God bless you. I hope it goes well.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I know some people in the area that are flying
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: here in the Chattahoochee Valley. Our Columbus Airport under construction.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: They're doing some renovations on it, so I know people
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: who normally would have maybe flown out of Columbus that
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: are having to hit the road to get to the
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Atlanta Airport to fly onto their destinations. That has been
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a complication that should soon be remedied.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: So if you're dealing with that. I know a few
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: people that are probably not. And let's be honest, this
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: local airport doesn't get used by everyone. Many would just
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: kind of make that track or you know, take a
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: shuttle to the Atlanta airport from here. But I do
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: know at least one person who would normally be flying
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: out of Atlanta that is not flying out of Atlanta.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, flying out of Columbus to get to Atlanta.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: But they're flying out of Atlanta now. So I know
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: at least one person directly who's doing that. So we're
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: getting into it. This is officially now possibly and you
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: may be listening traveling. Thank you for that. Numbers are
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: up this week. That's another incentive to continue doing shows.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I think some of you traveling maybe you're listening quite
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: a bit. So I appreciate all of you that are listening,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: maybe getting caught up on shows, whatever your story is,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it, and I really do, and all your
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: support just by listening to the show. We are now
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: at the twenty sixth day of and a lot of
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: people are gonna be decorating. You go. You transition quickly
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: from we go from Halloween and then you maybe have
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: some sort of Thanksgiving theme decorations around the house. But
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: how quickly we go from Thanksgiving to Christmas, especially in
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: a year where you know, Thanksgiving being on the twenty seventh,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: it's a little bit late, not the latest day it
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: could be, but it's close, and we're just there, you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: dealing with that. So a lot of you'll be doing
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: decorating and things this weekend, so be careful with all that,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: especially if you got to get stuff out of storage.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: This is the time of year where people are falling
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: through the floor and falling out of attics, and lifting
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: too much and hurting things and straining things, all things
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: that you should be very much aware of. And I'm
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: gonna mention this too before I get to the other
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: thing I was gonna say, is that where I thought
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I'd just give a quick update on my neck. At
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: twelve weeks ago tomorrow, I had surgery, a CDF surgery
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: on my neck, and I had my fallow up appointment yesterday,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the twelve week appointment, and I'm all good to go.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I'm good. I was encouraged, don't go crazy, don't go nuts,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: don't do anything excessive, but you're cleared for regular activities. Now,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I've been cleared for a few weeks to be on stilts.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: That's why I've been doing that. And I feel like
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: once you're on stilts, you're probably you know, clear for
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: most things. So anyway, I was cleared on that, and
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I'm excited because during the healing part of this whole process,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: there's some limitations on certain types of medicine that you
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: can take, and I got cleared for all of that.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Tiland All was the only thing I could take, and
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I had some prescription stuff. Didn't really want to necessarily
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: have to do that, but tiland All doesn't do a
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: lot whenever I've gotten a headache in the past, So
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I was able to take an actual etc. Migraine caliber
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: yesterday and that worked. That worked for the headache that
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I was brewing up yesterday. So you know, I'm excited
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: to be at this point, excited to be getting back
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: to the Nutcracker this year for the Nutcracker Ballet with
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: the Columbus Ballet. The Columbus Ballet dot org Rivercenter dot
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: org River Center box Office get your tickets December thirteenth
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: and fourteenth, and those tickets are going now. Get them
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: from those sites, don't get them from anywhere else. That's
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: where you want to get your tickets. I hope to
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: see you there. I'm back on the stilts as Mother
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Ginger again. We've had some really good, intense rehearsals this
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: past weekend, me working with my whole new cohort of Polischanel's.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: My Tabitha's ready to get on stage and put on
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: a show for you. So really excited about that, and
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: just wanted to give you an update. I told you
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: i'd give you some updates. You guys have been patient
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: with me and my voice, and some things I still
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: hear when i'm recording that don't sound the way they
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: used to. I'm working on it. I promise you, if
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: you're hearing them, I don't want you to be over
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: sensitive to it. If it sounds normal, I'm normal, just
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: leave it at that. So there's that and some of
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the things with mine because they go in through the front,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: they work around your vocal cords and esophagus and all
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: those things. So there's a lot that still has to
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: continue to heal and all those sorts of things, and
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I've been assured it's all still coming. It's still a
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: work in progress in that regard that stuff some times
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: maybe takes a little bit longer. I don't want to
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: think about what they were doing in there. So I'm
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: going to change the subject now because it's now the
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: twenty six. That means we are now less than a
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: month until Christmas. I didn't want to drop that bomb
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: on you right away, but it's something that you need
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: to think about the fact that we're that close. So
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: we're yesterday was the one month mark. We're now less
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: than a month and here we go, and you know
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: that Black Friday's coming up. Just want to offer you this,
• 6:27

  Speaker 2: it's Oh it's also Stranger Things Day, by the way,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: so we've got, you know, kicking off the season finale
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: or whatever it is. It's not the it's the series finale,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: final season, I guess is the right way to say that.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: But because it is Wednesday, but the Friday Wednesday show
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: because of Thanksgiving, our final show for the week. I
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: just going to dive on into some strange and bizarre news,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: but first we'll get at least one good news story,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: something to feel good about. So we'll start with some
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: positive news, some good news for you to begin this
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Wednesday special Thanksgiving Eve show. In Oklahoma, some incarcerated men
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: impacting their community by giving back. At the Joseph Harp
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: and Lexington Prisons, inmates are putting their own small salaries
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: towards food donations they've already helped. Stock three local food
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: pantry launched a holiday food drive runs through Christmas. At Lexington,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: guys pull their pennies literally to raise six thousand dollars,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: which was donated to a church food pantry. One of
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: the program leaders, Bruce Perkins, said, both efforts highlight the
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: desire of the incarcerated men to help families in need
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: over the holidays. It's a great story. That's really good.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I usually do too, but we're kind of running short,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: so let's dive into a couple of strange and bizarre
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: news stories, and we will begin in Thailand, where a
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: dead woman was brought to a temple for a routine cremation.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: So the lady wasn't dead though. Sixty five year old
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: woman was being driven to a temple inside a coffin
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: by her brother, who told them that she had died
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: two days earlier. He said she'd been bedridden for years
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: finally stopped breathing, so he placed her in a coffin,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: drove her to a hospital in Bangkok to donate her organs.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: The hospital staff refused to do it because they required
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: a death certificate. That makes sense. Man didn't have that,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: so he brought her to a temple and asked for
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: a free cremation. The temple's manager says while the staff
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: was going over some of the paperwork with the man,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: his sister suddenly started moving her head and knocking on
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: the sides of the coffin. She was rushed to a
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: nearby hospital. The temple said it will cover all of
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: her medical expenses. Good thing they didn't take those organs.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Bit a very different story. I mean, it's already weird enough,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: isn't it. When life gets a little mundane and boring,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: you might feel the urge for something exciting and different.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: While some folks might go ziplining, rock climbing, or to
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: a theme park, de Non area of Iowa had a
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: different idea. The thirty year old hit the highway not
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: for a road trip, but to stand outside his park
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: car and flash at passing vehicles. Police say he was
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: seen on two separate interstates with his pants and underwear
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: removed to his ankles and his shirt lifted to expose
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: himself to pass motorists. When questioned by officers, Airy confessed
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: to doing it and explaining this his behavior. It was
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: fulfilling as excitement that was currently missing from his blaw life.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: That's a quote. He was arrested for indecent exposure, a
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: charge which also violated probation terms from a prior conviction.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not advocating for this kind of behavior, but if
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: he's looking for a rush and excitement, he could have
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: done it. Maybe this holiday weekend were people traveling. I mean,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying somebody should do that. I'm just saying
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: if he was really looking for some sort of excitement
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: and thrill, you know. Police in Saint Charles County, Missouri,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: have arrested a man accused of breaking into a circle
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: case store with one item on his mind. Beefsticks. We've
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: all been there. Police say they responded to the convenience
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: store overnight and found a shattered entrance door. Beefsticks were missing.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: No other items or cash were stolen. Officers discovered the suspect,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: identified as Cole Burt Tells, and placed him under arrest.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: He told cops a voice in his head told him
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: to do it, and added, I know you're gonna think
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I'm crazy, but there is ai intelligence speaker in my neck.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: He's charged with felony breaking and entering and a misdemeanor
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: for stealing the aforementioned beef sticks. You can't do that.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: You can't take the beef sticks. I mean, like I said,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I'm not defending it. I'm not advocating for it. I'm
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: just pointing out we've all been there. We've wanted beef sticks,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: We've wanted beef sticks, and we've wanted badly to have
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: beef sticks before. I think we've all lived that, haven't
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: we all lived that experience? All right? Finally, I gotta
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: do this one for my bride. A convicted murder in
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Australia is suing the State of Victoria over something that
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: is one of the most Australian things that you could
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: sue over. I guess vegemite. Yes. His name is Andre M. Keeckney.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: He's serving life in a maximum security prison and suing
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: the prison system because of vegemite, the snack food you've
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: heard of but probably not tasted. It is a yeast
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: extract turned into a spread something that they were, you know, like,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: we got all this stuff and we're throwing it out,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: and somebody said, what if we put it on bread
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: and eat it? What if we put it on bread
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: and eat it? Something like that, and they did, and
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: then it became like their version of peanut butta. So
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: it's it's loved by Australians. I like it. I'm just
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: telling you right now. It's I wasn't raised on it, obviously,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: but it's become something that I will have. I don't
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: eat a lot of it, but Jill cooks with it
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: sometimes and it's quite tasty. Anyway, the vegemite is a
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: banned he insists it violates his human rights by not
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: allowing them to have it there, I guess in the
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: prison authorities claim the inmates were using it to mass drugs.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: I can see that, and even brew booze from it
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: because it's made from yeast. The company behind vegemite says
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: that's nonsense. You can't ferment vegemite into alcohol. The man
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: argues that the band stops him from enjoying his culture
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: as an Aussie. His case headed to the Supreme Court
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: of Victoria that apparently has nothing work to do than
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: decide whether a murder should be allowed to eat vegemite.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Good luck, good luck with that. That's that's all I
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: can say. And it's it's an interesting thing to sue over.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: But I mean, maybe he's got a case for the
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: cultural thing. I don't know. Today's show brought to you
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: by Coloma State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: and educating the youth and future STEM lead and STEM
• 17:01

  Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to

  Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
• 19:14

  Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.

• 20:03
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
• 20:06

  Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: after the break well, if you're wondering, Martha Stewart says
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: the best time of day to serve your Thanksgiving meal
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: is at two PM. That's when she says it should
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: be served officially at two o'clock. And she says the
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: benefits are that it keeps people from hovering in the
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: kitchen all morning, and it helps the whole day sort
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: of flow better. You can eat early, hang out, you know,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: watch football, play games, whatever, and still have room for
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: dessert later and leftovers for round two. So you know,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know, we usually go a little bit earlier
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: than that, But I can't argue with the logic there
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: the way she's laid it out. But everybody has their time.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Everybody has their schedule as far as tomorrow and things
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: being open for Thanksgiving. You know, this has been a
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: thing over the years where some businesses decided they wanted
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: to try to cash in on Black Friday a little
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: bit earlier, you know, just get in there a little earlier,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: open up on Thursdays, try to really push people to
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: get out and do their shopping on Thursdays and get
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: that head start on it. There was a lot of pushback.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: There were some people who embraced it. I am of
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: the philosophy that if I don't have to go somewhere
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: on a significant holiday, whether it be Thanksgiving or Christmas
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: or whatever, I'm not going to do it. I don't
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: even like to buy it. Like, to me, how difficult
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: is it Thanksgiving or Christmas? Now, I know this is
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: different if you're actually going to be on the road
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: on one of those days, but how different cult is
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: it to get gas ahead of time, at least fill
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: up the day before. How difficult is it to make
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: your own coffee at home and not have to stop
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: at Starbucks. I know there's going to be people working,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: they're going to be there, but again, there's a there's
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: a there's a logic there to just say, you don't
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: have to make those people that are there now some
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: getting paid extra, and I get that, but that's my
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: thinking on it, and it comes from the fact that
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: when I was in high school, I worked at a
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: large grocery store. It was an A and P store
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: that was wasn't named A and P, but it was.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: I worked for A and P. And the company decided
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: one year, Hey, we're going to be open on Thanksgiving.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Give people an opportunity to come in and you know,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: shop on Thanksgiving because there'll be people that are going
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: to be coming in. They did pay us. I don't
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: know if it was time and a half or double.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I think it was double, but we at least earned
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: extra money for it. And while we were there, we
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: weren't busy. I think we did it once and people
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: who came in could not stop talking about the fact
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: that it's a real shame you guys have to be here.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: And I just remember saying, yeah, but you know, some
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: people are coming in and buying a kid of cranberry
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: sauce and that's what the person would be buying. Well,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I guess so, and then they would leave, and you know,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I wasn't trying to be a jerk. I was just
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: pointing out the reason that we were open is for
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: people to come in and do their shopping. So the
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: big pushback that came caused a lot of places to say, no,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: we won't do this anymore, and places like Walmart it's
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: finding to close all day, Target Costco, Sam's Club, Cole's
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Home Depot lows Staples, and some meal places as well.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Not going to surprise you, Chick fil A says we'll
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: take the day off, Chipotle, Raising Canes, Taco Bell, Pizza
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Hud'll all be closed now. Restaurants that you may encounter
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: on the road. Some people will be on the road.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Some people are not going to be having a family
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: feast at home and not visiting people and want an
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: opportunity to go out to eat. So whether traveling or
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: just wanting to, you know, go have a meal, maybe
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: even with a few friends. It makes sense to me
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: that you have restaurants like Cracker, Barrel, Waffle House, Iehop
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: will all be open. So and then some of the
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: other sit down places that won't be open Texas Roadhouse, Chili's,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Olive Garden, Longhorn. Of course, this may have some you know,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: local franchise deals could apply to it. So I don't
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: want to tell you for certain where you live those
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: places will be closed, but as a policy, that's that's
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: going to be the deal, all right. Rachel Ray. I
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: was talking a minute ago about Martha Stewart, so about
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Rachel Ray another person you can get some advice from.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: On meals. Rachel Ray says, if you're taking a meal
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: to a Thanksgiving dinner or a friends Giving gathering or whatever,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: her advice is to stick to something you know, something
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: you're secure about, not a time to experiment. Don't do
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: something that you've never made before that has a lot
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: of ingredients. I think that's some really good advice there
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: as well, So just keep that in mind as you're
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: trying to decide exactly what it is that you're going
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: to be doing. A new study finds twenty eight percent
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: of respondents say they're cutting back on holiday decorating this
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: year from their budgets. They say that sixteen percent said
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: they're planning to spend just sixteen percent are going to
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: spend more on holiday decorations this year. Fifty six percent
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: of those who are spending less say it's because they
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: want to save money. Forty four percent blame economic uncertainty.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Forty two percent said they have enough decorations and don't
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: need more. Nineteen percent say they're not hosting any holiday
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: celebrations this year, seventeen percent say they're feeling less festive
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: than they did a year ago, And of those who
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: are spending most our shelling out less than one hundred
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: dollars on decorations for the holiday season, twenty two percent
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: spending more than one hundred. So there you go. All right,
• 26:12
