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.
0:09
Speaker 2: Monday morning, twentieth day of October. I'm Wes. Thanks for
0:14
Speaker 2: joining me, starting your week with me. Here we are
0:18
Speaker 2: kicking off another October week. We got this week. Next week,
0:22
Speaker 2: Halloween is, you know, a week from Friday. Then we
0:27
Speaker 2: jump on into November and it's all downhill. We'll talk
0:30
Speaker 2: about Hallmark movies coming up after the break in a
0:33
Speaker 2: little bit, because we've officially now jumped into that at
0:37
Speaker 2: least when it comes to I mean, it feels early,
0:40
Speaker 2: but the Hallmark channel has kicked off the whole Christmas thing,
0:43
Speaker 2: and some people are ready, they're ready to go ahead
0:46
Speaker 2: and make that switch over and just forget all about
0:48
Speaker 2: the whole spooky thing. Not everybody has the Halloween fever.
0:52
Speaker 2: Not everybody gets that, or maybe they used to, and
0:57
Speaker 2: you know, they're not going to the you know, out
0:59
Speaker 2: to the club and a costume, or they don't have
1:01
Speaker 2: kids anymore that are at that age where you know,
1:05
Speaker 2: and maybe they just don't want people knocking on their
1:08
Speaker 2: front door and aggravating their dogs. Maybe that's it. I
1:11
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe they're just ready to feel good instead
1:14
Speaker 2: of you know, thinking about you know, horror movies and
1:18
Speaker 2: Goblins and Grimlins and all that fun stuff. Although Grimlins
1:22
Speaker 2: is technically a Christmas movie, you can argue if you want,
1:24
Speaker 2: it's a bit of a horror Christmas. It's like Nightmare
1:27
Speaker 2: before Christmas. It's both kind of there as that feel
1:30
Speaker 2: to it. Can't argue though, Grimlins said at Christmas time.
1:33
Speaker 2: I mean it's right there speaking of Christmas. The great
1:38
Speaker 2: tradition that is the Nutcracker. Get your tickets now for
1:42
Speaker 2: the Nutcracker Ballet. It's happening at the Columbus River Center
1:46
Speaker 2: Columbus Rivercenter dot org or Thecolumbus Ballet dot org. That's
1:50
Speaker 2: where you should go to get your tickets for the show. Okay,
1:55
Speaker 2: don't get them from a third party. Don't buy them
1:57
Speaker 2: from some outlet online. And that's not what you want
2:01
Speaker 2: to do. Nobody needs to do that. Go to the
2:03
Speaker 2: River Center box office if you want to, and you
2:07
Speaker 2: want to get those tickets there because that is the
2:09
Speaker 2: ticket price that you could pay. That's fair. You don't
2:14
Speaker 2: want to worry about somebody buying the tickets and marking
2:18
Speaker 2: them up and then all of a sudden, you've paid
2:20
Speaker 2: more than you should for tickets to the Nutcracker. This
2:25
Speaker 2: is my seventh year in the role of Mother Ginger.
2:27
Speaker 2: And over the weekend I'm mentioning this also now because
2:32
Speaker 2: and the shows, by the way, they are the thirteenth
2:36
Speaker 2: and fourteenth of December. And over the weekend we were
2:39
Speaker 2: working on a promo for the event and I had to,
2:43
Speaker 2: for the first time since the last show last year,
2:47
Speaker 2: get all of the Mother Ginger makeup on. And it's
2:52
Speaker 2: an ordeal. It's between an hour, it's like between sixty
2:56
Speaker 2: and ninety minutes of me getting fully made up, just
3:01
Speaker 2: the makeup part that's not getting into the dress and
3:03
Speaker 2: all of that stuff. I did not need to get
3:06
Speaker 2: in stilts for this particular thing that we were filming,
3:08
Speaker 2: because honestly, I'm not quite stilt approved yet from my
3:13
Speaker 2: doctor after my surgery. I'm close. I've got another week
3:17
Speaker 2: or so before I'm authorized to get back on the stilts.
3:20
Speaker 2: And I didn't have to get in the dress and everything,
3:23
Speaker 2: but I did have to get all of the makeup
3:26
Speaker 2: on and the wig and all that stuff, and it was, Yeah,
3:29
Speaker 2: it's a long process. My friend Sarah has been doing
3:33
Speaker 2: the makeup basically most of the time that I've been
3:37
Speaker 2: doing at least the past several years. I've got another friend, Jana,
3:40
Speaker 2: who's done it a few times in the first couple
3:43
Speaker 2: of years. You know, one of the people at the
3:45
Speaker 2: ballet would take care of it. Kylie, I mentioned the names.
3:49
Speaker 2: I might as well, but Sarah has been primarily doing
3:53
Speaker 2: it the past few years, and she, you know, took
3:57
Speaker 2: some time out on her Saturday morning. She was headed
4:00
Speaker 2: to the Octoberfest celebrations and things with her family when
4:04
Speaker 2: she said, well, let's get together early and then I'll
4:06
Speaker 2: you know, slap it on. I'll paint you up, get
4:10
Speaker 2: you on your way. Well, we did our promo and
4:13
Speaker 2: it was you know, all I had to do was
4:16
Speaker 2: show up and follow directions. Walk over there, go over there,
4:19
Speaker 2: do this, make this face whatever, and it was it.
4:22
Speaker 2: It's pretty painless for me, but very curious to see
4:25
Speaker 2: what they've put together with this. I don't really know
4:28
Speaker 2: exactly what it is. It's just going to be a
4:29
Speaker 2: promo for the show. But get your tickets now at
4:33
Speaker 2: the River Center box office Rivercenter dot org or Thecolumbus
4:38
Speaker 2: Ballet dot org and again get them from one of
4:42
Speaker 2: those places. Don't take the crazy markup prices. You don't
4:46
Speaker 2: want to do that. And seven point thirty show on
4:49
Speaker 2: Saturday the thirteenth, two thirty matinee on Sunday the fourteenth.
4:53
Speaker 2: So the other thing that happened while we were prepping
4:56
Speaker 2: this for this promo and I was getting in place
4:59
Speaker 2: is I know there must and I'm just gonna be
5:02
Speaker 2: honest from my experience. Okay, I can't speak. I can't
5:06
Speaker 2: speak for the full event. I can tell you this
5:10
Speaker 2: is me giving you my experience of this, and I'm
5:13
Speaker 2: just laying this out there for you. But I saw
5:15
Speaker 2: what must have been upwards of, you know, twenty five
5:18
Speaker 2: thirty people having their No Kings protest and at some point,
5:23
Speaker 2: and there may have been more. I'm just telling you
5:25
Speaker 2: what I saw, all right, And there has to be
5:29
Speaker 2: a point where with some of these protests that we
5:32
Speaker 2: kind of like, and I've maintained this for a little
5:36
Speaker 2: while now, that I feel like we should have at
5:40
Speaker 2: least a minimum turnout requirement before they get any kind
5:44
Speaker 2: of press coverage. I'm not saying that the event shouldn't,
5:50
Speaker 2: you know, be acknowledged in some way, right, I'm not
5:54
Speaker 2: saying that you know it's or that the event shouldn't
5:59
Speaker 2: take place. You know, people can have their their they
6:01
Speaker 2: have their rights, they have their First Amendment rights. I'm
6:06
Speaker 2: just saying when we start, when you're a news outlet
6:09
Speaker 2: and you're covering it, and you know, I mean, I
6:13
Speaker 2: don't know what the minimum should be. I've said before
6:17
Speaker 2: that I know that there have been some of these
6:18
Speaker 2: events where I'll see it, like in the paper or
6:22
Speaker 2: local newspaper here in Columbus, and they'll say, we have,
6:28
Speaker 2: you know, a crowd of people showed up for you
6:31
Speaker 2: know whatever, members of the call gay pride or something
6:36
Speaker 2: would have an event and they would say, oh, and
6:38
Speaker 2: they would have a picture and they would be three
6:40
Speaker 2: people there. And I've driven by one of those events
6:44
Speaker 2: before and literally seen three people standing there and you know,
6:48
Speaker 2: the one's holding like a rainbow flag, one's holding like
6:52
Speaker 2: a trans flag, the other they're just standing there talking.
6:56
Speaker 2: And then they cover it as if this is some
6:57
Speaker 2: kind of a big protest or demonstrate or whatever. And
7:00
Speaker 2: again I'm not saying that they shouldn't have their right
7:03
Speaker 2: to do it. I'm just questioning whether it's valid that
7:08
Speaker 2: it be covered as a news story as if it
7:12
Speaker 2: was some important event that took place. I'm not discounting them.
7:17
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that they are not worthy of the
7:21
Speaker 2: ability to go do what they do. I'm just pointing
7:24
Speaker 2: out the fact that three people does not constitute some
7:28
Speaker 2: kind of a big event. That's all I'm saying. Not
7:31
Speaker 2: if it's you know, if it happens once and maybe
7:34
Speaker 2: you want to cover the event and say, hey, there
7:38
Speaker 2: was a protest and only three people showed up. I
7:42
Speaker 2: mean that sounds a little mean, but that in its
7:45
Speaker 2: own like, that's kind of the news way to cover it,
7:49
Speaker 2: isn't it. If that's the end result, is that you know,
7:52
Speaker 2: three people showed up, and that's how you want to
7:55
Speaker 2: approach it, and that's how you want to cover it,
7:57
Speaker 2: I think that constitutes, you know, covering the event, an
8:02
Speaker 2: accurate covering of it. Taking a photo of the three
8:05
Speaker 2: people at an angle where it sort of looks like
8:08
Speaker 2: maybe there could have been more people there, or like
8:11
Speaker 2: one of the three people is standing on stage, and
8:13
Speaker 2: then you have the back of the heads of two
8:15
Speaker 2: other people and like a sign or something in that
8:18
Speaker 2: and where it looks you know, that person is giving
8:20
Speaker 2: a speech to the other two people, which could have
8:23
Speaker 2: been covered in a text thread, you know, whatever the
8:25
Speaker 2: speech is if there's three of you. Again, I'm not
8:30
Speaker 2: being dismissive. I'm just pointing out the fact that the
8:33
Speaker 2: very fact that we get this much coverage of these
8:36
Speaker 2: things seems a bit much. And then over the weekend,
8:38
Speaker 2: I know there were some cities that had certainly more
8:41
Speaker 2: people than others as they were getting out for the
8:43
Speaker 2: big No Kings festivities. First of all, I would like
8:50
Speaker 2: to point out that if we were truly wanted to
8:53
Speaker 2: make this an annual or I don't they do it
8:56
Speaker 2: more than once a year now, don't they? This has
8:58
Speaker 2: become a new like how often can they do some
9:00
Speaker 2: of these kind of events. But if they wanted to
9:04
Speaker 2: make this a regular event, might I suggest let's do
9:10
Speaker 2: it on you know, maybe even you know, July third.
9:16
Speaker 2: It doesn't have to take away from Independence Day. And
9:19
Speaker 2: then we just point out the fact that, you know,
9:21
Speaker 2: there's something brewing for these wacky colonists, there's something brewing,
9:27
Speaker 2: and tomorrow might be the be It would almost be
9:30
Speaker 2: like Christmas Eve and we could have No Kings Day,
9:34
Speaker 2: and then we could have no Kings you know festivities,
9:38
Speaker 2: we could have you know, you you leave, like milk
9:42
Speaker 2: and cookies for George Washington something like that. I'm just
9:46
Speaker 2: I haven't thought this through fully. I'm just kind of
9:49
Speaker 2: spitballing here. I'm offering up some ways that maybe everybody
9:53
Speaker 2: would want to participate in the No Kings celebration and festivals.
9:58
Speaker 2: And I don't know what account was in Columbus. I
10:01
Speaker 2: know what I saw, and it wasn't a lot of people.
10:05
Speaker 2: But you know, the news coverage certainly, you know, seem
10:08
Speaker 2: to give the impression that there were a lot when
10:12
Speaker 2: they don't give you an actual number, and they just
10:15
Speaker 2: say like crowds showed up or a crowd of people
10:19
Speaker 2: showed up. I've seen a crowd of people used to
10:24
Speaker 2: talk about three people. That's that's all I'm telling you.
10:27
Speaker 2: So just know that when you see the word crowd,
10:30
Speaker 2: I don't know what you think of when you think
10:32
Speaker 2: of a crowd. I know what in my head constitutes
10:35
Speaker 2: a crowd, and it's more than three people. That's just me.
10:39
Speaker 2: That's where I am. I think of a crowd as
10:42
Speaker 2: definitely being more than more than three, right, it doesn't
10:48
Speaker 2: necessarily have to be you know, thirty forty people. I
10:51
Speaker 2: would say a crowd I don't, you know, I mean,
10:55
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe thirty forty people is what it
10:57
Speaker 2: takes to be a crowd. I don't know. It depends
10:59
Speaker 2: on the crowd and how rowdy they are. But I
11:02
Speaker 2: do know that there were people who were there and
11:05
Speaker 2: they're you know, protesting the kings. I don't I don't
11:09
Speaker 2: know which kings. We haven't had a king here in
11:14
Speaker 2: a really long time, unless you count one's visiting. You know,
11:17
Speaker 2: sometimes they come in, you know, like coming to America
11:21
Speaker 2: when James Earl Jones came and he was wearing that lion,
11:25
Speaker 2: you know, that's a that was a king visiting. But
11:28
Speaker 2: I don't know that these protests were really going after
11:31
Speaker 2: you know, dignitaries and people from you know, around the world.
11:34
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know that we've I don't know
11:36
Speaker 2: the last time we had a king that was here
11:40
Speaker 2: that warranted having a big protest. In my head, and
11:44
Speaker 2: I'm sure we've had them. But this idea by these
11:48
Speaker 2: people that Donald Trump thinks he's a king absurd, silly,
11:55
Speaker 2: and it's just trying to do this. It's almost like
11:57
Speaker 2: it's it's not quite lighting, it's but it's in that
12:02
Speaker 2: kind of family. Right, it's off of the same tree.
12:05
Speaker 2: And I think it's that whole like, it's that repetitive
12:08
Speaker 2: We're gonna say this enough to make you eventually think, well,
12:12
Speaker 2: did he say that he was a king? When? When
12:14
Speaker 2: did he say that? Did he say that? I guess
12:16
Speaker 2: he did, because they're doing these protests that apparently need
12:20
Speaker 2: to take place so that we can remind ourselves that
12:23
Speaker 2: we don't have a king, because we don't. You know,
12:28
Speaker 2: it's been a long time. We have a pretty significant
12:33
Speaker 2: milestone anniversary coming up next year in July. That's you know,
12:40
Speaker 2: that's how long it's been that, you know, we we
12:44
Speaker 2: had our moment to say, you know, no, no kings.
12:48
Speaker 2: I mean that actually should really fit with the independence
12:51
Speaker 2: say holiday, shouldn't it if we wanted to make it
12:55
Speaker 2: the July third thing? I think that because that's the
12:57
Speaker 2: last time we had one, you know, you go back
12:59
Speaker 2: to I mean, we technically had to fight a war
13:03
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. But the point is it's ridiculous
13:07
Speaker 2: that we have people that seem to want to plant
13:10
Speaker 2: this seed, this thought, this repetitive thought that that this
13:15
Speaker 2: is a president who has declared himself somehow to be king,
13:18
Speaker 2: which he hasn't that that's not taking place. They seem to,
13:23
Speaker 2: you know, he's he's made fun of them by saying it,
13:26
Speaker 2: or he's made these jokes now a couple of times
13:28
Speaker 2: where he said, hey, thanks for making sure that we
13:30
Speaker 2: don't have any kings, because as the president, I'd be
13:33
Speaker 2: concerned if we had kings. That's not the way he
13:35
Speaker 2: said it, that's not the way he talks. This is me,
13:38
Speaker 2: this is me translating it for people who don't want
13:41
Speaker 2: to like hear it in his voice. I'm like one
13:44
Speaker 2: of the only people who doesn't do Trump. Everybody I
13:48
Speaker 2: know so many people who not only do the Trump impression,
13:52
Speaker 2: they do it really well. I mean they're they're professional
13:56
Speaker 2: like impressionists, and they do him really well. And I don't.
14:01
Speaker 2: I don't do one at all. So, but you're not
14:04
Speaker 2: listening to me to hear me do a Trump voice.
14:08
Speaker 2: My point is simply that we don't have a king.
14:12
Speaker 2: We haven't had a king, and these people see, I
14:15
Speaker 2: guess they can call victory after they had their event
14:21
Speaker 2: because they they've basically done their no kings celebration and
14:28
Speaker 2: then they can just say, yeah, yeah, so no no kings,
14:34
Speaker 2: we win.
14:37
Speaker 1: This.
14:38
Speaker 2: This is what we've accomplished. It's it's much like anytime
14:44
Speaker 2: you have you know, we've had in the past when
14:47
Speaker 2: they would do the sporting events and someone would take
14:49
Speaker 2: a knee before the game, or remember like during the
14:52
Speaker 2: World Cup, or you know, there's been a few soccer
14:55
Speaker 2: events where they would say, we're gonna start the match
14:59
Speaker 2: and we'll kick the ball and then everybody will take
15:01
Speaker 2: a knee for like a second, and then we'll start
15:03
Speaker 2: up again and everybody collapse, and I just remember thinking, man,
15:07
Speaker 2: they fixed it. Whatever it is that they were trying
15:09
Speaker 2: to fix, they have somehow repaired it, and then we
15:15
Speaker 2: move on. It was, you know, when Phonsie went to
15:18
Speaker 2: the South and into racism. It was when Rocky and
15:22
Speaker 2: Apollo ended racism on the beach and they hugged, and
15:25
Speaker 2: then Rocky went to Russia and ended the Cold War.
15:28
Speaker 2: There were these moments where you can say, this is
15:30
Speaker 2: that defining moment when this was all fixed. This is
15:34
Speaker 2: the defining moment when racism ended. When they you know,
15:39
Speaker 2: they put it in the end zone, they put in
15:42
Speaker 2: racism on someone's jersey or on the back of their helmet,
15:45
Speaker 2: and you go, well, they did it. They fixed it.
15:48
Speaker 2: It's all fixed. Everything has been fixed. Thank goodness. They
15:53
Speaker 2: put this effort in. So these people that got out
15:56
Speaker 2: and said we're gonna we're gonna make this effort and
15:59
Speaker 2: spend our time on a Saturday just you know, standing around,
16:05
Speaker 2: they fixed it. We don't we currently fresh out of kings.
16:10
Speaker 2: So I guess congratulations are in order for all of us.
16:13
Speaker 2: We won congratulations. Today's show brought to you by Columbus

Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
18:33
Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
18:36
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
18:40
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
18:42
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
18:44
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
18:48
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
18:51
Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got with colder or
18:55
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
18:59
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
19:01
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
19:04
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
19:06
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
19:11
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
19:13
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
19:15
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
19:17
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
19:20
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours
19:22
Speaker 2: calls there's nothing worse than that thought of having your
19:25
Speaker 2: car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't
19:28
Speaker 2: open and you need somebody to come help. And they
19:31
Speaker 2: do those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty

19:42
Speaker 2: after the break, Well, there's another new side effect associated
19:56
Speaker 2: with ozempic and we go V and some of those
19:59
Speaker 2: GLP one wait lost drugs, and it's being referred to
20:03
Speaker 2: as ozimpic meat. No, it's not a meat product made
20:08
Speaker 2: out of those drugs. That's not what it is. It's
20:12
Speaker 2: not like impossible whoppers. There's not like an ozempic whopper,
20:16
Speaker 2: although that would be you know, maybe that would be
20:20
Speaker 2: maybe okay, patent pending GLP one whoppers. I mean I
20:27
Speaker 2: can't take whoppers, but just burgers, maybe I could do that. No, no, no,
20:31
Speaker 2: this is something that's happened because of some of these
20:34
Speaker 2: weight loss drugs. There are people experiencing an aversion suddenly
20:40
Speaker 2: to meat, especially fatty fried meats. Some say that meat
20:46
Speaker 2: now tastes barnyard like, and others find it repulsive. What
20:51
Speaker 2: does barnyard like mean when it comes to meat, I
20:55
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know what that means exactly. It's
20:58
Speaker 2: barnyard like. I don't does it taste like hey, I don't.
21:02
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't quite understand that one. But anyway,
21:06
Speaker 2: keep that in mind. If you're taking drugs like we
21:09
Speaker 2: go vieno zempic, that that that's a byproduct that could come.
21:13
Speaker 2: We've discussed the things like, you know, the chins and
21:16
Speaker 2: the necks and and all of those things, and then
21:20
Speaker 2: I guess, you know, certain parts of the body that
21:22
Speaker 2: have had different things, and then some of the negatives.
21:25
Speaker 2: You know, some people have reported having issues with their
21:29
Speaker 2: you know, gallbladders and things like that, and this is
21:31
Speaker 2: now one maybe you're not gonna like meat anymore. So
21:34
Speaker 2: just keep that in mind. I mean, if you're taking
21:37
Speaker 2: it so that you don't eat fatty meats and then
21:40
Speaker 2: you lose weight, well then that may also help you
21:42
Speaker 2: with your long term goals. So there you go. All right,
21:47
Speaker 2: So tennis shoes sneakers if you will. I mean, the
21:56
Speaker 2: essence of the name implies that the shoe doesn't make noise.
22:01
Speaker 2: They're sneakers, right, Well, A class action lawsuit has been
22:06
Speaker 2: filed against Swiss shoe company On, with customers complaining that
22:11
Speaker 2: they bought the pricey shoes only discover that they're very
22:15
Speaker 2: squeaky whenever you walk in them, and they say it
22:18
Speaker 2: causes embarrassing situations. The shoes use a special cloud tech
22:23
Speaker 2: sole designed to cushion your stride, but according to the lawsuit,
22:28
Speaker 2: those clouds are rubbing together in the wrong ways, creating loud,
22:31
Speaker 2: squeaking noises. Runners have resorted to rubbing oil into the
22:35
Speaker 2: soles just to silence them. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit claim
22:39
Speaker 2: that the company has refused to issue refunds or replacements.
22:43
Speaker 2: They are seeking reimbursement from the company for the cost
22:45
Speaker 2: of the shoes, as well as a jury trial to
22:48
Speaker 2: determine damages they believe they're owed for the squeaking shoe.
22:53
Speaker 2: On has yet to comment on the lawsuit. I would
22:59
Speaker 2: say that maybe, you know, getting a reimbursement for the
23:03
Speaker 2: cost of the shoe maybe justified if they're especially loud.
23:06
Speaker 2: But I'm just thinking that if you bought the shoes
23:09
Speaker 2: thinking that you were going to have you know, ninja
23:11
Speaker 2: like silent walking, you're gonna be able to, you know,
23:16
Speaker 2: sneak up on a person. You know, like maybe you're
23:20
Speaker 2: in the profession of you know, like you're you're a burglar,
23:24
Speaker 2: and you were you bought the shoes expecting to be
23:28
Speaker 2: you know, near silent while you were you know, burgling.
23:32
Speaker 2: You know, you wanted to burgle somebody, and then you
23:34
Speaker 2: had the squeaky shoe and they caught you. Then then
23:38
Speaker 2: maybe you got a true like kind of class action.
23:41
Speaker 2: You get all the other burglars together and you say,
23:43
Speaker 2: we've had some serious problems with our burgling and we
23:48
Speaker 2: can't do it. So I don't know, that's that's just
23:53
Speaker 2: my thoughts on that. Uh. It happened over the weekend.
23:56
Speaker 2: The Hallmark countdown to Christmas officially out underway, I guess Friday,
24:01
Speaker 2: but it rolled on the end of the weekend. So
24:03
Speaker 2: you know, the corny, sappy, predictable, you know, holiday movies,
24:09
Speaker 2: even the ones that don't involve Travis Kelcey like characters
24:12
Speaker 2: and Taylor Swift like characters. But apparently a lot of
24:17
Speaker 2: people did a lot of watching of these movies over
24:20
Speaker 2: the weekend. Even though it's not even Halloween yet, we're
24:23
Speaker 2: not even there. You still got like eleven days we're
24:26
Speaker 2: not even there yet. But that doesn't mean that yet
24:30
Speaker 2: don't have the you know, Christmas decorations already in the stores,
24:34
Speaker 2: because they're there, a lot of people get excited November one.
24:38
Speaker 2: Hey we flipped the switch. Here are the sleigh bells
24:41
Speaker 2: ringling ting ting tinglin two. All that stuff doesn't mean
24:45
Speaker 2: that people aren't ready for the movies just because maybe
24:48
Speaker 2: they're you know, they don't want them in the stores yet.
24:51
Speaker 2: Some of those people complain, but hey, if you're ready
24:54
Speaker 2: for the Hallmark countdown to Christmas, it's underway and a
24:58
Speaker 2: lot of people apparently were watching and not only the
25:02
Speaker 2: you know, people like the uplifting stories, they like all
25:05
Speaker 2: of that stuff. But there's another reason that those Hallmark
25:10
Speaker 2: movies are popular, and while they start before Christmas, a
25:14
Speaker 2: study found that people are more interested in watching romantic
25:17
Speaker 2: movies during the fall and winter than at any other
25:20
Speaker 2: time of the year. It seems when it's cold out,
25:23
Speaker 2: people have that need for inner warmth, and romantic comedies
25:26
Speaker 2: fit the bill. So that's part of the reason. I mean,
25:30
Speaker 2: you could also, you know, it's October, maybe you know,
25:33
Speaker 2: watch a horror movie that could bring out some warmth,
25:37
Speaker 2: some of that inner warmth for you or for somebody
25:41
Speaker 2: you know, depending on what's going on in the movie.
25:43
Speaker 2: Sometimes there's inner warmth that gets spilled everywhere when somebody
25:50
Speaker 2: takes out a cutting implement. I've been graphic enough. I
25:55
Speaker 2: think we'll wrap things up. That'll do it for this
