  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the Wes Carroll Morning Show.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Thursday morning, 22nd day of October.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: I'm Wes.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Thanks for joining me. My kid turns 18 tomorrow. I
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: think we addressed this already, but it's just hitting me.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow's the day when I said the date. And I
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: always have to look at it. I have to double check.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I have this thing I do sometimes where I just
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: say the wrong month. Probably done that many times. Or
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I'll say the wrong holiday. I'll talk about like Halloween's
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: coming up. I'll accidentally say Thanksgiving. I guess I'm just
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: looking ahead.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: But I have to double check and I have to
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: look and make sure I'm saying the right date. And
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I looked and I said, oh gosh, 22nd.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow's the day.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow is the day. It's less than 24 hours. He'll
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: get into the math behind the astronomical components that take place,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: how long he's actually been on Earth and when he
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: actually officially turns 18. But, you know, the way this
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: works is 18th birthday anniversary is tomorrow. So he can
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: break it down however he wants to. And we're excited
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: about tomorrow. couple of things, you know, I mean, we,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: we will have successfully gotten him to 18.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: That's good. Right.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Uh, and I think he's a better human being than
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I'll ever be. So that's an accomplishment. Uh, he's, he
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: may be the best person that I know. No offense
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: to my other kids. I said what I said. No,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I got two really good kids. I just, I say that, uh,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: about Jake sometimes because he is, uh, you know, he's
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the older brother. He's kind of, a few paces ahead
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: of Luke. And Luke's right behind him, though, in so
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: many ways.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: We're proud of them, obviously, both.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: But it's just a weird feeling to be in with
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: that coming up tomorrow. It's a weird, just a weird
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: place to be. And I know, like I say, many
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: of you have been there. Probably more of you have
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: been there than not. And then some of you listening
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: are in the same boat I'm in. It's coming up,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and you're just staring down that barrel going, oh, gosh,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: this is coming, and I don't know how to handle it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: And I can't tell you yet how to do that.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I got less than a day, and I don't really
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: know what to do. What I do know is that
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: he's going to get his first chance to vote this year.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: He's registered, and I guess as of tomorrow, it'll officially
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: put him in the system. However that works, there's a
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: few ways that you can do that. to get in
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: the system. Uh, he did it the legal and right way.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: So that's good, you know, and proud of that for
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: him that we did all that the right way. Uh,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: so anyway, I'm just trying to figure out where all
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: of this goes, uh, after tomorrow, you know, he's, he's
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: going to be a, a G a M a grown man,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: What the A means. So there we go. That's happening.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Whether we like it or not, you can't stop it.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: It just comes and time is a thief and all that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: But these milestones you celebrate and that's what you have
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to do. So before that, do we got to do
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: today and enjoy his last day of, you know, being 17?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: That's what we got to do. And one of the
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: ways we'll do that is just by, you know, going
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: to work. So maybe I'll go to work now. Let's
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: talk about Ilhan Omar. Yesterday, we were following up on
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: all the reports and stories about James Tallarico and his
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: big stupid face and hair. Sorry, that's my personal opinion.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: And how he disappeared for a while. You know, he
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: went missing and then they found him, I guess. I
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: don't know. I mean, he said he was sick in bed.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the whole story was. I told
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you yesterday.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I think him.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: not being able to tweet or anything or a blue
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: sky or blue note.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: What's it called? Blue sky.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know. The stupid poor man's Twitter, I guess.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know the, the, the, the, uh, we're, we're gonna,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is, it's, it's like, you're not going
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: to be, you're not going to be the plastic strip
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: medicated strip brand that knocks off bandaid. Um, but you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the people that said, well, we're just going to go
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: We're going to go over to that. And then Truth
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Social and Blue Sky and then Twitter is the one
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: that's like, you can say whatever. That we invite you
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to have conversations.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: And people said, ah, we can't do that. We want
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: to control it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: But anyway, he couldn't even do that while he was sick.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: No Blue Sky, no Twitter, no whatever. And no Truth Social.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: He didn't post anything on Truth Social. Not a thing.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: So anyway, we talked about that. And then now Ilhan Omar,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the congresswoman who has obviously been under investigation. We talked
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: about that the day of the raid when that happened
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: and the next day, I guess, because it happened late
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: in the day and they went into her home and
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: they started looking for papers and.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: A lot of questions.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: And I told you after it happened, her response to
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: years of being told they're going to investigate her was
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: she basically said, bring it on. She said, come on,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: investigate me. I welcome it. I'm not above the law.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: And once they raided her home, nobody's seen her for days.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: And then suddenly yesterday she reappeared to cry and beg
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: people for money. Because she says, this is going to
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: be a long fight. And they're attacking me and they're
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: coming after me. And this is all about the president
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: coming after her. Well, she's been saying that. She did
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: not completely abandon social media. She has done that. Um, but, uh,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: she's basically just said that, uh, they are coming after her.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: This is personal.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: This is, uh, Trump coming after a, uh, an opponent, uh, and,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: you know, all the things that we know that happened
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: to Trump, you know, uh, two years ago, we know
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: that those things, uh, uh, happened to him and they
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: all celebrated it on the left. And now suddenly it's like,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: how dare you use, uh, department of justice to go after,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: and nobody's above the law when it's him. Um, and
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: here's the thing, uh, they're investigating to find out if
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: she's even supposed to be here. I mean, that's been
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the question the whole time.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Is, is she supposed to be here?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Uh, did her, was her husband, uh, that she married
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: her brother? I mean, these were questions that had been,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: been raised. And I think if we can get some answers,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: that would be good. You would think if she's done
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: nothing wrong, then they would just kind of say, hey,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: let's clear all of this up. But that's not the
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: response that we've gotten. This is going to be a
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: long fight, and I need your money. So please give
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: me some money to help with all of this. And
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: this is in the midst of the backdrop of all
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: of this is this election day that's coming up fast.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: So she posted a video on social media thanking people
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: who had given her some cash and then asking for more.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Please continue to support us. It's going to be a
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: very expensive and challenging time. So we appreciate whether you're
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: able to send $ 5, $ 10 or $ 20. Thank you. I
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: know they got to be really strict on this would
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: be my recommendation. First of all, just Whatever you're accepting
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: the money as, if it's a political donation, a personal donation,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: whatever it's for, just go by all the– dot your
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I's and cross your T's because that may be the
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: reason that you're in this boat in the first place.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Let's just understand that. So just make sure whatever the
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: money is used for is what it's supposed to be
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: used for. That's my first advice as you're begging and
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: pleading for money from people. who you have said over
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: and over again, don't have money. You keep reminding us
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: that nobody has money because this Trump administration is the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: whole reason inflation is where it is. It has nothing
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: to do with the four years before that when inflation
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: was up at almost 10% and the highest that it's
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: ever been. But now that it's a little above the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: normal 2.7% or whatever.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: I think that may even be where it is.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: That, oh, everybody's broke, everybody's struggling, but please send me
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: $ 20 to defend whatever it is that needs to be defended.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: So yeah, they took some DNA when the investigators went
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: in to serve the warrant, and they got some DNA.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: There's been some questions about, is this going to confirm?
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Are we going to find out whether or not she
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: and her husband were actually siblings. They can do that
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: with a quick DNA swab. And I guess, I mean,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I don't, they said they were getting DNA. That's what
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: it seems to be that they were checking. And I
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: would think that I know that if it's just a,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: they're just lobbying accusations and they're saying, you know, that
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: this was the case, but if they're actually serving warrants
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: and they're coming into your house and it's disrupting the
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: whole flow of your life and your family, a quick way,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: You don't have to. but a quick way to clear
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: all that up would be, where do you need me
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: to spit?
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: What do you need me to do? And I understand
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: not wanting to do it.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: You got a right to not do it if you
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: don't want to, I guess, unless this comes down to,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: this is going to decide whether you stay or go.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: And if you know that you don't share DNA, then
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: you're probably, you know, that'd be an easy way.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Out, wouldn't it?
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: The other question, the bigger question, I guess, has also
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: been how old was she when she came in the
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: country with her dad? And was she 18 and needed
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: to apply for her own citizenship status? And whether or
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: not her dad changed her birth date in the paperwork
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: to make her a year younger? Say this, turn an
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: 18 thing.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: It's all connected, man.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: I assure you, my child was born in the US.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: I assure you. I assure you.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: So no questions about that with him. But just, you know,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: whether or not the year was changed and then later
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: changed back and at some point changed again. I mean,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: there's all these questions that are coming up about all
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: of it. But the fact that she's she's begging for
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: money to, you know, cover her, I don't know, expenses,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: whatever the challenging time will bring. Because it's going to
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: be expensive and challenging, she says. And I'm all for,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: you know, you defend yourself and you defend yourself to
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: whatever degree. Are they preparing themselves to defend this all
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the way to the point of being denaturalized and then,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: you know, deported, jailed and deported? These are all crimes, right?
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: So if it's proven and she gets to a point
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: where she's got to face this stuff, I don't know.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, I would think, again, you may not need
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: to beg people for money. Now, if you're asking for
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: money to give to campaigns and things so that you
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: can try to win the Senate and the House and
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: all of that, then that's another reason to ask for money.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: But if you're just asking it for your personal stuff, again...
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Easier way than having to do that. But the video
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: of her in the car, nobody really knew where she were. Now,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: she does have an appearance, I think, booked to come up,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: and she's going to appear somewhere with Hasan Piker. That's
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: who you want to be with in the midst of
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: all this. You want to be with a radical far-left
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: extremist who thinks that we deserved 9-11 and all these things,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: and that the Soviet Union should have not fallen, and
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: he's sad about that. That's the guy that you want
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: to make public appearances with in the midst of all
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: of this. I mean, just from a PR standpoint, I
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: would think that should probably be canceled. I would just say, look,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I don't think I can make that. That's what I
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: would do. But if they think this is somehow a
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: strategic move to say, no, no, no, she's supposed to
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: be here. She didn't fudge anything. She didn't lie about anything.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: And now she's going to stand on stage next to
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: this guy.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: So.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Just, you know, we'll keep an eye on where all
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: this is going, but it is interesting now that she has,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: you know, reemerged.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: At this particular time.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: The other thing I wanted to talk about today, and,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: you know, I did an interview with Evangeline Lilly years ago.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: She was at Dragon Con. She's the actress who was in,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: she's been in the Marvel movies as the Wasp. She
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: was in the Hobbit movies. She was on the TV
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: show Lost. That's kind of where we all got a
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: good introduction to her. Among other things, this is not
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: the limitation. She's also a successful author who's written kids' books.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: And she was at DragonCon years ago, and we chatted.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: And it was one of my favorite interviews that I've
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: ever done. and got to spend a little bit of
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: time with her at DragonCon. Just an extremely nice person.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: One of the things that we talked about, and I
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: believe this was in the interview, we did talk quite
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: a bit outside of the interview, but we talked about
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: her Christian faith. And she expressed how, you know, how
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: her faith is kind of what guided her, what helped
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: her in growing up with a Christian faith in Canada,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: and that guiding her into her career and things. Well,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: about six years ago, she decided that she was going
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: to retire from acting, and she's basically done an interview
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: with CBN, and she's got a new project she's doing
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: that is a faith-based project where she's, I think she's
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: just doing a voice acting in it. And she's talked
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: about how getting out of Hollywood and retiring from Hollywood
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: was challenging for the reasons that you would think. You
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: lose the fame, you lose the influence, you lose the
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: really good Hollywood movie paycheck. But she says that the
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: cost to Hollywood fame is that you live under a microscope.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Strangers assume they know you and sometimes treat you that
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: way in public. your career subjected to scrutiny in ways
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: you can't imagine. It's always been, but the rise of
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: social media makes, uh.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: All of the above worse.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Uh, she's dealt with chronic, uh, health issues and things.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: And she says since getting out of Hollywood and kind
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: of surrendering that part of her life and knowing that
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: God has a plan for her life, she's been able
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: to live more healthy and, uh, without all of those
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: anxieties and things that go with it. And, um, Yeah,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: it's an opportunity to be in these mega franchises and
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: step away from it and know that God has you.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Great interview that you can check out. Like I said,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: that was done with CBN, and my interview with her
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: is on the DragonCon pregame show podcast if you want to. uh,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: check that out, uh, from a few years ago. Uh, just, uh,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: one of those people who she stuck up for the,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: the Marvel, uh, digital artists who were fired. Not a
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: lot of people did that. Nobody wants to stick their
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: neck out. I guess being retired puts her in that
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: perspective where she's able to do that, um, and not
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: worry about what the next job was going to be. So, uh,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: kudos to her for that. And, uh, yeah, I look
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: forward to next time I get to talk with her. Um,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: I think, obviously, she wants to do more to help
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: more people and that she feels like being outside.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Of Hollywood will help her do that.
• 16:54

  Speaker 2: incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School of
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Music from Columbus State University called Music Under the Dome.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia?
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: right here in Columbus and Inside the planetarium at the
• 18:06

• 18:27
  Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming astronomy night
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: events also on their website. It's CCSSC.org. As Sean Cruzan says, CharlieCharlieSamSamCharlie.org.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I just remind you that it stands for Coca-Cola Space
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Science Center, CCSSC.org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial...
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: or residential, maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: away for you. And while they're there, you can always
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: door system. you can put down and you can use
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: you know if you like to work on your own
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: come help. and they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: More West Carol Morning Show right after the break. A
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: new survey says that the quickest way to test a
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: relationship might not necessarily be moving in together. That's kind
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: of been the perception for a long time, right? You
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: move in together and things get complicated and tricky and
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: you test where things actually are with each other. But
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: according to this new survey, it's not that. It's actually
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: booking a vacation together. Booking.com did a survey of more
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: than 29,000 travelers and found that over a third realized
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: they weren't compatible with or good travel companions, I guess,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: in general, after taking a trip with a friend. And
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: nearly 30% even considered ending the friendship or relationship because
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: of it. And the biggest travel sins were mooching. Nearly
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: 58% said that they wouldn't travel again with someone who
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: expects everyone else to pick up the tab. Rude behavior
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: towards hotel or airport staff also ranked high. along with
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: leaving shared hotel rooms looking like a tornado hit it.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: The ultimate red flag was constant negativity for Gen Z,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: though the biggest deal breaker was traveling with someone who
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: treats every stop like a social media photo shoot. Keep
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: those things in mind if you're going to travel with
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: a friend or maybe in a relationship for the first
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: time that those are some of the big no-nos. So,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: The rise in social media, smartphones, and broadband internet painted
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: a picture that isn't fully accurate. Basically, if you think
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: that TikTok rules the social media universe, that's not the case.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Only 30% of Americans use it, compared with 86% who
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: use YouTube and still 70% use Facebook. Some other surprising stats.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: 99% of college grads use the internet. but that number
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: dropped slightly for people who did not go to college
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: at 93%. 78% of Americans subscribe to home broadband service.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: You'd think that maybe folks outside of the city would
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: be driving the number down, but actually 72% of people
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: that live in rural areas.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Do have broadband.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: 16% of Americans have a smartphone, but do not have
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: home broadband.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: 31% of Americans use LinkedIn. And it.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Seems to me that's about right. I mean, I think
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: some people think that everyone uses LinkedIn. I have a
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: LinkedIn account, and I don't ever use it. I just
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: had it because at one point I felt like I
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: needed to have it, and I think some people do that.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Facebook usage is actually highest among people age 30 to 49,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: not boomers, as you might think. 7% of Americans have
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: a non-smart or a dumb phone. So just interesting things
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: out of this particular.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Study that was done.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: It's kind of interesting. And you would think, because younger
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: people kind of drive that narrative about things like TikTok
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: and Instagram, that maybe that would be the case, but
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: not so much.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Speaking of technology, a growing number of people have said
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: or are saying goodbye to sleep scores, step counts, constant
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: health stats. and choosing instead to just listen to their
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: bodies instead of apps. The trend is a reaction to
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: what some experts call health data overload, where every workout, heartbeat,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: and night's sleep gets turned into a score. The idea
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: isn't to ignore your health, but to stop treating wellness
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: like a nonstop numbers game and just trust your body's
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: signals a little bit more. That's probably the way to go.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: It's like intuitive eating.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Eat. And then when you start to feel yourself get full,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: then you know that you're probably already full because that's
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: when the signals come. So then you stop or at
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: least slow down. Don't eat until you feel shame. You know,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: it's just some of those things you can listen to
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: the body. And finally, this is interesting. My first reaction
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: to this was what? And then I sort of dug
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: into it a little bit and it does make a
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: little bit of sense. So there's a new website that's
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: called Not A Wedding Crasher. I guess it's notaweddingcrasher.com. I
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: did actually click on it. Notaweddingcrasher.com.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: And basically you are invited to crash a wedding on
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: this particular site. And it is not exactly just crashing
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: a wedding. It's a chance to pay. to attend the
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: wedding of a complete stranger. So the idea is that,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: you know, you, some weddings, you have a minimum number
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: of guests that you should have, or you have some
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: last minute cancellations, or you're worried about empty seats at
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: your wedding, and you've already paid for the meals, the drinks,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: and the venue costs. So instead of just letting that
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: go to waste, you can get a chance to have
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: some guests that will chip in for the experience. Guests
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: get a night of dinner, dancing, celebrating someone else's big day,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: and couples can recoup some of the wedding expenses. It's
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: kind of interesting, isn't it? And I think the couple
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: who came up with this, Jeff and Karina Besson, they
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: were just looking for unique date night activities. And they
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: decided this could be something that would be beneficial to
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: couples and, you know, give people an opportunity to go out,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: dress up, have a good time. And apparently it's starting
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: to catch on in some places more so than others.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I actually went to the site and clicked on Browse Weddings.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: I'm going to pull it up again.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: And in Georgia, as of right now, there are three
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: weddings that that you can pay to attend the wedding
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: in Georgia. None in our immediate local area here in
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: the Chattahoochee Valley area, but some in like Augusta.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: There's one in Atlanta.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: So it's interesting. You can check it out, notaweddingcrasher.com, if
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: that might be something you're interested in. That'll do it
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: for this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks to our
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. Catch you back
• 27:03
