Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews you need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
0:11
Speaker 2: Monday morning, twenty fourth day of November. I'm Wes. Thanks
0:16
Speaker 2: for joining me. In the past, this would have been
0:21
Speaker 2: a week when my family would be maybe camping. We
0:25
Speaker 2: like to camp this time of year. We've enjoyed it
0:30
Speaker 2: very much. In the past, last couple of years, it's
0:34
Speaker 2: been more challenging to do it for a couple of
0:36
Speaker 2: different reasons, and this year it was going to be
0:39
Speaker 2: my next surgery. That was the thing that I don't
0:42
Speaker 2: know about camping on a cot and a tent, and
0:45
Speaker 2: we are tent campers. We don't. I mean, we've certainly
0:50
Speaker 2: been in cabins before, but camping to me is in
0:54
Speaker 2: a tent. It's just typically or a camper. But we
1:00
Speaker 2: weren't sure where things were going to be with my
1:03
Speaker 2: neck recovery. And they're fine, by the way. I've got
1:06
Speaker 2: to follow up appointment tomorrow, so anyway, that means I'm
1:10
Speaker 2: here at least for today to do a show. We're
1:12
Speaker 2: going to do a Mate of Stars this week, and
1:15
Speaker 2: at some point this week we'll call it a week
1:19
Speaker 2: and give ourselves a few days off, because you know
1:23
Speaker 2: we do that sometimes. But I wanted to give you
1:26
Speaker 2: some shows this week, a couple shows at least, and then,
1:31
Speaker 2: like I said, we'll do Met of Stars for this week.
1:33
Speaker 2: Shaan Cruise and I are coordinating all that, so we
1:36
Speaker 2: make sure to get you a show, probably on Wednesday,
1:39
Speaker 2: so we can be a little ahead of the curve.
1:41
Speaker 2: And if you're traveling and you're listening to the show,
1:43
Speaker 2: thank you for that. I appreciate it. If you, you know,
1:46
Speaker 2: need something else to listen to while you're traveling, there's
1:50
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of Made of Stars episodes just waiting
1:53
Speaker 2: for you there, plus some of my celebrity interviews and
1:57
Speaker 2: things from the past from Dragon Con pregame shows. Yeah,
2:00
Speaker 2: we talk about dragon Con and the convention, but we
2:02
Speaker 2: also talk about various things going on in their careers
2:06
Speaker 2: or their lives. Zach Levi comes to mind, someone who
2:11
Speaker 2: made this very bold decision to switch his sort of
2:17
Speaker 2: i mean his overall allegiances at least politically to Trump
2:22
Speaker 2: because he supported RFK and that's who was working with Trump,
2:29
Speaker 2: Tulca Gabbard, someone he knows and supports. Anyway, we don't
2:32
Speaker 2: talk about that in it, but I talked with him
2:35
Speaker 2: prior to that, and we talked about some of his
2:37
Speaker 2: mental health issues and things that he has struggled with
2:40
Speaker 2: in the past and the fact that he you know,
2:45
Speaker 2: what he did to work his way through those things.
2:47
Speaker 2: So also my interview with William Shatner Evangeline Lilly from
2:51
Speaker 2: the Marvel Cinematic Universe, So and Lost and also part
2:56
Speaker 2: of the Lord of the Rings, specifically the Hobbit movies.
3:00
Speaker 2: So a lot of interviews for you there. That's something
3:02
Speaker 2: else you can listen to while you're driving, if you're
3:05
Speaker 2: making one of a lot of people driving this year
3:06
Speaker 2: instead of flying. So and that's the Dragon Con pregame
3:09
Speaker 2: show podcast, made a Stars podcast. And you know, if
3:13
Speaker 2: you got any episodes of this one to catch up on,
3:15
Speaker 2: by all means, go back and find your favorites and
3:17
Speaker 2: listen to them again. We're going to talk this is
3:21
Speaker 2: obviously Thanksgiving week, and we're going to talk about a
3:24
Speaker 2: couple of things that one thing in particular that I
3:27
Speaker 2: think is important because we're doing this thing this holiday
3:31
Speaker 2: that is about being thankful. It's about being appreciative for
3:34
Speaker 2: what we have. And there's a lot that about you know,
3:40
Speaker 2: this reflection on where things are for us that takes
3:45
Speaker 2: place this time of year. And there is this thing
3:49
Speaker 2: that has been happening now with the left, with politicians
3:55
Speaker 2: on the left, one of them Gavin Newsom, but others
3:58
Speaker 2: they're they're throwing out these ideas of the Bible supporting
4:06
Speaker 2: this notion, this idea of a welfare state. We'll get
4:12
Speaker 2: to that coming up in just a few minutes. I
4:15
Speaker 2: did want to say this. Look, you may have family visiting,
4:17
Speaker 2: you may have family on the way. Maybe you're visiting
4:21
Speaker 2: family for Thanksgiving and you've got family coming to see
4:24
Speaker 2: you for Christmas. Sometimes that's just the way it goes. Well,
4:30
Speaker 2: let me tell you what you need to do to
4:31
Speaker 2: get ready for not only a visit if you've got
4:34
Speaker 2: someone coming, but also what you can do for gift
4:39
Speaker 2: ideas when it comes to accommodating a guest or giving
4:43
Speaker 2: somebody something really nice they can enjoy for a really
4:45
Speaker 2: long time. Cozyearth cozyearth dot com is their website and
4:51
Speaker 2: they are offering you, as a listener to this show,

5:00
Speaker 2: And we're talking about betting, We're talking about cozy blankets
5:04
Speaker 2: when you want to just cuddle up and watch a movie.
5:08
Speaker 2: When you want to, you know, go to a different
5:12
Speaker 2: set of sheets. It's one of those things you got.
5:14
Speaker 2: You gotta be careful with those words when you say
5:16
Speaker 2: this together. Bathrobes, pajamas, whatever you need, pillows, all that

Speaker 2: use the discount code wes w ees, save some money,
6:00
Speaker 2: and you know, do your Christmas shopping. Go ahead and
6:02
Speaker 2: get that done. It's like Black Friday, but it's happening
6:05
Speaker 2: on a Monday. You know, It's like Cyber Monday, but
6:09
Speaker 2: a week earlier. However, you want to look at that
6:11
Speaker 2: all right. So few politicians have said that there's a
6:17
Speaker 2: few reasons we should be looking to the Bible to
6:19
Speaker 2: know that socialism or communism or whatever, all of these
6:24
Speaker 2: different welfare type programs are biblical. And we've seen this
6:30
Speaker 2: obviously with a win in New York from a democratic
6:34
Speaker 2: socialist slash communist, somebody who I still firmly believe is
6:41
Speaker 2: here in this country and now mayor elect the mayoral
6:49
Speaker 2: future of the City of New York, and I believe
6:52
Speaker 2: he's there to destroy New York. I do. I think
6:55
Speaker 2: this is the latest attempt by certain people that want
6:59
Speaker 2: to take down the City of New York and thereby
7:02
Speaker 2: take down the US. And you go back to two
7:06
Speaker 2: thousand and one, and you go back to other attempts
7:09
Speaker 2: and things that have happened, and this was the goal
7:12
Speaker 2: and they failed. They certainly put a dent in US
7:16
Speaker 2: and changed a lot of things in this country, and
7:19
Speaker 2: now here we are looking at some things that are
7:22
Speaker 2: coming in New York if this guy can do what
7:24
Speaker 2: he's trying to do. But he would love to have
7:27
Speaker 2: all of these candidates all over the country and people
7:30
Speaker 2: embracing candidates with different philosophies and ideals. This is what
7:34
Speaker 2: he wants, this is the goal. This is I believe,
7:37
Speaker 2: the big picture plan. But one of the things that
7:40
Speaker 2: this and he's not the only one that is obviously
7:43
Speaker 2: pushing these extreme ideas about free everything. We also have
7:50
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, who has said it's
7:53
Speaker 2: biblical to you know, for the government, I guess to
7:57
Speaker 2: take care of people. That's the idea. Want to say
8:01
Speaker 2: that it's the government's job. And some of these people
8:05
Speaker 2: on the left quoting Acts two right, this idea that
8:11
Speaker 2: biblically feeding the hungry and providing for the homeless, and listen,
8:20
Speaker 2: I'm not going to I'm not in any way going
8:22
Speaker 2: to challenge anything that is written in the Bible. That
8:25
Speaker 2: is not what I do on the show. What I
8:28
Speaker 2: will do is tell you that you are not clearly
8:32
Speaker 2: laying out what the intentions of these verses are. This
8:35
Speaker 2: is one of the problems that we run into in
8:39
Speaker 2: our world, in this country is we have people who say,
8:44
Speaker 2: I'm going to take the Bible and try to make
8:46
Speaker 2: it fit with what my narrative is or what my
8:50
Speaker 2: message is. And this is what's happening. Certainly in this case,
8:55
Speaker 2: we citizens should be taking care of each other. We
9:01
Speaker 2: independently should be taking care of each other. We the
9:05
Speaker 2: church should be taking care of one another and one
9:08
Speaker 2: another's needs, not we the government. And I talk a
9:13
Speaker 2: lot on the show when you know, issues like this
9:17
Speaker 2: come up, and just to lay it out, and I
9:19
Speaker 2: try so hard to be very clear on a few things.
9:26
Speaker 2: My faith definitely shapes everything that I do. My faith
9:30
Speaker 2: shapes decisions I make, like how I vote. It shapes
9:35
Speaker 2: the lifestyle that I live, It shapes it shapes a
9:40
Speaker 2: lot of things. It shapes who I donate my money
9:43
Speaker 2: and time to. All of those things are impacted by
9:47
Speaker 2: my faith. My politics are shaped by my faith. My
9:52
Speaker 2: faith isn't shaped by my politics. And that's one of
9:56
Speaker 2: the biggest problems that I think we run into in
9:59
Speaker 2: the country. And this isn't a example of someone who's
10:01
Speaker 2: trying to force their politics into their faith or into
10:06
Speaker 2: other people's faith. They're trying to inject this idea that
10:09
Speaker 2: it is somehow the role of our government to provide
10:13
Speaker 2: for the needs of the people. And look, you can
10:17
Speaker 2: make a case, obviously on a state level or on
10:20
Speaker 2: a citywide level, that that would be more appropriate. But
10:25
Speaker 2: when we're just talking about feeding people. I mean, this
10:30
Speaker 2: government shutdown should have shined a light on how out
10:35
Speaker 2: of control at the federal level this is. And I'm
10:40
Speaker 2: not discounting the fact that we have people who absolutely
10:43
Speaker 2: need assistance. We have created a system that puts people
10:47
Speaker 2: in a position where they need assistance and this is
10:52
Speaker 2: the place to get it. But this has been a
10:55
Speaker 2: long It's gotten to this point over a long period time.
10:57
Speaker 2: It's a long term strategy that we've seen play out,
11:01
Speaker 2: and I've told you here and on the radio for
11:04
Speaker 2: a long time. This is more about attacking the church,
11:11
Speaker 2: because if people aren't going to church, they don't have
11:15
Speaker 2: that option of turning to the church when they need help.
11:20
Speaker 2: Now I know pastors that will tell you the role
11:23
Speaker 2: of the government is to take care of its citizens
11:26
Speaker 2: and to take care of their needs. I've heard that.
11:31
Speaker 2: It turns my stomach because that is not the role
11:34
Speaker 2: of our government. And if we're turning to the government,
11:37
Speaker 2: and then we have attendance numbers that have dropped in
11:40
Speaker 2: the country over the last twenty thirty years, we can't
11:43
Speaker 2: be surprised when people aren't there, or you can't be
11:46
Speaker 2: surprised if people aren't donating as much to your church,
11:48
Speaker 2: We're already donating. We make donations in our taxes. Instead
11:54
Speaker 2: of saying I'm going to take my money that I
11:58
Speaker 2: have at the end of the month and support a cause,
12:01
Speaker 2: Donate it to my church, donate it to a food bank,
12:05
Speaker 2: that money's already taken away and it is filtered through bureaucrats,
12:12
Speaker 2: and it is filtered and pays employees to decide where
12:15
Speaker 2: it's going to go, and then a port at which
12:19
Speaker 2: companies the food is going to be bought from, because
12:22
Speaker 2: those companies you know, or somehow owed something by politicians.
12:28
Speaker 2: All these sorts of things that play out or simply
12:31
Speaker 2: benefits that are given to citizens with no restrictions or
12:35
Speaker 2: limitations on whether they can buy junk food. Because there
12:42
Speaker 2: are companies that have too much at stake. They rely
12:45
Speaker 2: on that money. So instead of me going to the
12:50
Speaker 2: store and buying something and donating it to a food
12:53
Speaker 2: bank or giving it to my church to give it
12:55
Speaker 2: to a food bank, the money's taken from me and
12:59
Speaker 2: my family already automatically, and a small portion of it
13:04
Speaker 2: makes its way to citizens, and it makes its way
13:08
Speaker 2: to people that many who are handing it out are
13:13
Speaker 2: trying to use it as a long term caret to
13:15
Speaker 2: keep people, sorry, not a twinkie. Let's be honest here,
13:20
Speaker 2: to keep people in most cases, to keep people coming back.
13:24
Speaker 2: May I have some more police? And are they coming
13:27
Speaker 2: to the church or the food bank to say, may
13:29
Speaker 2: I have some more police? Or are they turning to
13:32
Speaker 2: their politicians to say may I have some more please?
13:35
Speaker 2: And we've had politicians say point blank, if you want more,
13:39
Speaker 2: you know what you have to do. You have to
13:41
Speaker 2: put us in power. You have to keep us in power.
13:45
Speaker 2: So how dare they come in and say we're going
13:48
Speaker 2: to use the Book of Acts to try to change
13:51
Speaker 2: your opinion on this. So I know that there's been
13:56
Speaker 2: a long standing understanding of what it means in the
14:02
Speaker 2: Ten Commandments about not taking the Lord's name in vain.
14:06
Speaker 2: I think this qualifies. I think if you're going to
14:08
Speaker 2: pretend to be hind Mighty and you're gonna try to
14:11
Speaker 2: take a biblical stance on something and say this proves
14:19
Speaker 2: my politics, This proves what my politics are because I'm
14:24
Speaker 2: coming at this with the outcome that I want, and
14:28
Speaker 2: then I'm telling you how you're supposed to think about it.
14:30
Speaker 2: Does that not count taking the Lord's name in vain,
14:35
Speaker 2: purporting yourself to be someone that you're not, or you know,
14:39
Speaker 2: trying to take again your politics and have it shape
14:44
Speaker 2: your faith and push it into the faith of other people.
14:49
Speaker 2: Is it not possibly that more so than just saying
14:53
Speaker 2: words that you can't say on TV, just a thought. Hey,
14:56
Speaker 2: you see Trump and mom Donnie? They were together and
15:00
Speaker 2: Trump really owned him, didn't he kind of? I felt
15:02
Speaker 2: almost I didn't really feel bad. I almost felt bad
15:05
Speaker 2: for him, but I got over it quickly. Almost didn't
15:11
Speaker 2: feel bad, almost felt bad for him as well. Donnie
15:16
Speaker 2: got asked, you know, do you think Trump's a fascists?
15:18
Speaker 2: He started to try to give his answer. Trump's that
15:20
Speaker 2: it's okay, just say yes. You have to explain. You
15:24
Speaker 2: could just say yes, and you watched him man get
15:26
Speaker 2: neutered standing there in the Oval office. It was quite comical,
15:31
Speaker 2: wasn't it. All Right, So we're coming up on Thanksgiving,
15:35
Speaker 2: we're coming up on of course Black Friday, and you
15:39
Speaker 2: can go ahead and get started on your Black Friday
15:42
Speaker 2: shopping right now. And it's very simple to do. If
15:46
Speaker 2: you've got someone in your life who you think, all right,
15:50
Speaker 2: I would like to get this person some officially licensed music, movies, TV,
16:00
Speaker 2: various pop culture wearable items, T shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, all
16:05
Speaker 2: these sorts of things, hats, lots of very unique items. Well,

Speaker 2: been around since the sixties, family owned and operated, quality merchandise,

16:23
Speaker 2: a box store. You're buying from family owned business. Here's

Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes
19:59
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
20:02
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
20:05
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
20:07
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
20:11
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
20:13
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
20:16
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
20:18
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
20:20
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
20:23
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
20:26
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
20:28
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
20:31
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
20:35
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred

20:41
Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after
20:45
Speaker 2: the break, Well, we've talked a little bit about this,
20:57
Speaker 2: and it's worth bringing up again because it can tinues
21:00
Speaker 2: to be in the discussion as AI continues to encroach
21:05
Speaker 2: on jobs. Well. Elon Musk says that a day is coming,
21:10
Speaker 2: maybe ten to twenty years from now, that people won't
21:14
Speaker 2: have to work or need money. Speaking at the US
21:18
Speaker 2: Saudy Investment Forum, Musk said that as AI and robotics advanced,
21:22
Speaker 2: work could become optional. He compared it to gardening, explaining,
21:26
Speaker 2: even though it's easier to buy vegetables at the store,
21:28
Speaker 2: some people still grow their own because they enjoy it.
21:33
Speaker 2: Musk says, that's what work will feel like, something you
21:36
Speaker 2: do for fun, not necessarily, not out of necessity. I
21:40
Speaker 2: almost said not necessarily out of necessity, but that would
21:43
Speaker 2: have worked too, and that's not all. Must suggested that
21:46
Speaker 2: money itself could eventually become irrelevant if AI keeps improving improving.
21:50
Speaker 2: He believes currency could fade away entirely. Others agree, saying
21:55
Speaker 2: jobs are changing and they might not disappear necessarily. So
22:00
Speaker 2: we'll see, I guess in the next ten to twenty years,
22:03
Speaker 2: just in time for retirement for some of us gen xers,
22:07
Speaker 2: and it'll be like, well everybody, and everybody can retire
22:10
Speaker 2: at the same time. That seems about It seems about right,
22:12
Speaker 2: doesn't it. Thanksgiving dinner takes a lot of prepping and cooking,
22:17
Speaker 2: and before you can do all of that, you gotta
22:19
Speaker 2: do some math. You need to know the number of
22:20
Speaker 2: people coming over. Then you need to figure out what
22:23
Speaker 2: size bird to get. Then that itself can be tricky.
22:29
Speaker 2: Food editor Brianna Killeen says that she's run the numbers
22:34
Speaker 2: and done the calculations, and she can tell you how
22:36
Speaker 2: much people typically eat, accounting for leftovers, and she recommends
22:41
Speaker 2: one in a quarter to one and a half pounds
22:43
Speaker 2: of turkey per guest. After the bird cooks, that'll leave
22:49
Speaker 2: each eater about eight to nine ounces of meat. Having
22:52
Speaker 2: ten people over, that means you need a fifteen pound bird.
22:54
Speaker 2: I'm just giving you the math. If you're trying to
22:57
Speaker 2: figure that out this week if you want to boost
23:00
Speaker 2: your dating game. Survey by pestes no petsies. Petsis is
23:07
Speaker 2: the name of it. I don't know what Petsy's is,
23:10
Speaker 2: but it's better than pesties. I suppose. They found that
23:13
Speaker 2: women who had a medium sized dog in their profile
23:16
Speaker 2: picks were rated about seven percent more attractive in photos.
23:20
Speaker 2: For men, the magic is a puppy. Guys with a
23:24
Speaker 2: puppy in their profile pick was seen as thirteen percent
23:28
Speaker 2: more attractive. To the cat ladies, cats made you seem
23:33
Speaker 2: two percent more attractive on dating apps. According to surveys,
23:36
Speaker 2: Guys with kittens seen as three percent more attractive. So
23:40
Speaker 2: I mean throw that all into the you know, the
23:43
Speaker 2: cat lady discussion during the election cycle. I don't know
23:45
Speaker 2: where all that plays out, but there you go, all
23:49
Speaker 2: right back to Thanksgiving. If you've ever thought, man, I'm
23:54
Speaker 2: gonna skip turkey and just go straight for dessert, some
24:00
Speaker 2: people are doing that, and they're basically just saying we're
24:03
Speaker 2: just gonna do Thanksgiving sweets, just pies, pumpkin pie, pecan pie,
24:10
Speaker 2: apple pie, cheesecakes, brownies, and some creative twists like pumpkin
24:15
Speaker 2: tear massou or caramel apple trifle. The basic idea is
24:20
Speaker 2: ditch the stress of you know, the turkey, and making
24:24
Speaker 2: it all about all these sides and these elaborate feasts,
24:27
Speaker 2: and then basically just kind of saying, look, we're just
24:30
Speaker 2: gonna do sweets and life is short and let's enjoy it. Look,
24:36
Speaker 2: I couldn't do that. I can't just eat a whole
24:40
Speaker 2: meal of sweets anyway. So I mean there was a
24:43
Speaker 2: time that time is not now. That's that's all that
24:48
Speaker 2: I can say. So, regardless of what you might have
24:51
Speaker 2: heard about the cost of an average Thanksgiving this year,
24:54
Speaker 2: the majority of hosts say that they will not compromise
24:57
Speaker 2: on the meal or let inflation keep them from serving
25:00
Speaker 2: a turkey and all of the usual trimmings. Butterball release
25:04
Speaker 2: it's Annuel Thanksgiving Togetherness Report. It shows eighty nine percent
25:07
Speaker 2: of people planning to celebrate the holiday, hosts are expecting
25:10
Speaker 2: to feed an average of nine guests. Fifty eight percent
25:13
Speaker 2: said that they're not concerned about how expensive things have gotten,
25:16
Speaker 2: while others say keeping costs down by asking guests to
25:20
Speaker 2: bring side dishes and desserts or all desserts. Report also
25:24
Speaker 2: finds that turkey will be a centerpiece eighty four percent
25:26
Speaker 2: of dinner tables, even though only forty seven percent said
25:30
Speaker 2: that it is their favorite part of the meal. Not
25:34
Speaker 2: my favorite part of the meal. I can just tell
25:36
Speaker 2: you that I'll eat it. It's not my favorite part
25:39
Speaker 2: of the meal, that's all. Taco Bell and Venmo have
25:42
Speaker 2: teamed up to develop something called the Venmo Taco Belt
25:47
Speaker 2: b LLLT. The belt, featuring studs and shimmery leather, looks
25:52
Speaker 2: like something out of a Western movie, handcrafted by Guieramo
25:56
Speaker 2: Quavis of Doneright Leather Works. It's the same guy who
26:00
Speaker 2: makes leather accessories for celebrities like Kendrick Lamar. You've probably
26:03
Speaker 2: seen all of his leather accessories and it features a
26:07
Speaker 2: built in a holster that holds a taco. There's nothing
26:12
Speaker 2: else I can say. It's time to wrap up the show. Well,
26:15
Speaker 2: if you're listening to this show, you probably follow the news,
26:18

26:21
Speaker 2: might turn on the TV and see something horrific going
26:25
Speaker 2: on in the news. And anytime you see that in
26:27
Speaker 2: experience that it's hard not to wonder is something really
26:32
Speaker 2: bad on the horizon? And all I can tell you

26:56
Speaker 2: the mindset and the skills that you need so that
26:59
Speaker 2: you can be ready for whatever horrible thing could be
27:02
Speaker 2: on the horizon. And let's be honest, kind of always
27:05
Speaker 2: feels like something horrible's on the horizon. I hate to
27:07
Speaker 2: be a pessimist, but it's reality. Kind of always feels
27:11
Speaker 2: like there's a storm coming, or there's some sort of
27:13
