Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews you need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, ninth day of April. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:16
Speaker 2: joining me. Ard from several of you about Love on
0:19
Speaker 2: the Spectrum. I'm glad to know that many of you
0:23
Speaker 2: enjoy it and have been watching it, some checking it
0:26
Speaker 2: out now. I guess because I recommended it. It's not
0:30
Speaker 2: for everybody. I'm going to tell you that I said
0:32
Speaker 2: that yesterday. Not everybody's gonna be able to fully appreciate it,
0:39
Speaker 2: but some of you will. Some of you will hit
0:41
Speaker 2: very close to home. I just hope that folks, the
0:47
Speaker 2: ones that can enjoy it, can appreciate the people that
0:50
Speaker 2: are on it and maybe get a little bit of
0:52
Speaker 2: extra perspective on some of the things that people deal
0:56
Speaker 2: with on a daily basis. As we move on through
0:59
Speaker 2: this Autism Acceptance Month formerly Autism Awareness Month here in April,
1:07
Speaker 2: A couple things that I would I would like to
1:10
Speaker 2: talk about today, and it basically relates to the way
1:17
Speaker 2: that we have allowed now for a very long time,
1:25
Speaker 2: and this is the way it's kind of played out,
1:27
Speaker 2: certainly over the last few elections. But you're able to
1:31
Speaker 2: sort of dictate, ultimately set up people for a response
1:38
Speaker 2: to something so that you can then later use it
1:44
Speaker 2: against them. Because let's kind of go back a few
1:50
Speaker 2: couple presidents back. Let's go back to when Barack Obama
1:54
Speaker 2: was elected president and what we were promised back then, right,
2:01
Speaker 2: the idea of if America would just accept a black
2:08
Speaker 2: man as president of the United States, something that prior
2:13
Speaker 2: to And it's interesting to be this far on the
2:17
Speaker 2: other side of it, because there was this point where
2:21
Speaker 2: people questioned, could this ever happen? You know, we have
2:28
Speaker 2: this this history in this country that would certainly dictate
2:35
Speaker 2: that this would be a very challenging thing to happen.
2:38
Speaker 2: And I know when I heard people talk about it,
2:41
Speaker 2: you would hear, especially black comedians would say, you know,
2:44
Speaker 2: it's not going to happen. It's not going to happen
2:45
Speaker 2: in our lifetime. Chris Rock made a great movie about
2:50
Speaker 2: the subject of you know, could there be a black president?
2:53
Speaker 2: And you would hear comedians talk about it, and then
2:57
Speaker 2: in just conversations people would say, I'd like to think
3:00
Speaker 2: think that we could do this as a country, but
3:04
Speaker 2: it still seems like we're just we're not far along
3:09
Speaker 2: enough for this to happen, which is sad. It was
3:12
Speaker 2: it was sad to think that that's sort of where
3:15
Speaker 2: we were. Uh. And then this phenom that was Barack
3:20
Speaker 2: Obama came along, someone who was just hit the scene,
3:27
Speaker 2: had all the sizzle. He was like the rock star
3:30
Speaker 2: candidate for Democrats. Uh, he was. It was not supposed
3:35
Speaker 2: to be his time. They there was. There's always sort
3:38
Speaker 2: of this order of things. There's the uh, you know,
3:42
Speaker 2: and we've we've talked about this in past shows. A
3:45
Speaker 2: lot of times you have you have candidates that are
3:49
Speaker 2: just sort of waiting in the wings, waiting for their opportunity. Uh.
3:52
Speaker 2: It was supposed to be Hillary Clinton that year. That's
3:56
Speaker 2: that's where it was supposed to go. And and Barack
4:00
Speaker 2: Obama had so much interest, he had so much attention,
4:06
Speaker 2: and he also was able to take some of those
4:09
Speaker 2: right of center people and get their attention and basically
4:15
Speaker 2: take this idea of this notion that maybe we can
4:19
Speaker 2: do this. Maybe as a country, we can take this
4:23
Speaker 2: big step and move forward, and it will be good
4:25
Speaker 2: for all of us. It will help bury some of
4:30
Speaker 2: the negativity, it will help us move on from the past,
4:36
Speaker 2: it will help us find some way to heal, like
4:39
Speaker 2: this would be some sort of a gesture of healing
4:43
Speaker 2: and give us this opportunity to move forward. And the
4:50
Speaker 2: election happened. I don't think it was a giant surprise. Republicans,
4:54
Speaker 2: of course, nominated one of those waiting in the wings
4:57
Speaker 2: candidates in John McCain. He was some who it was
5:00
Speaker 2: just like, well, it's his turn. They didn't come into
5:04
Speaker 2: this and say, hey, we're going to nominate someone that
5:06
Speaker 2: also has this kind of charisma and charm and appeal
5:09
Speaker 2: and sizzle. We're going to go with somebody that is,
5:13
Speaker 2: you know, he's earned it. And had this been one
5:16
Speaker 2: of those elections where it was two candidates that had
5:18
Speaker 2: sort of earned it with their time, who knows where
5:21
Speaker 2: it would have gone. But John McCain, you know, rhino
5:26
Speaker 2: that he was, wasn't necessarily going to you know, light
5:31
Speaker 2: up the world for Republicans, especially not the way we
5:35
Speaker 2: had this charismatic guy on the left who was ready
5:38
Speaker 2: to do the unthinkable, and then he did it, and
5:43
Speaker 2: it seemed like, wow, maybe this is going to be
5:47
Speaker 2: a step in a certain direction for us as a country,
5:51
Speaker 2: or a step in the right direction. I remember watching
5:54
Speaker 2: the inauguration. I don't watch all of the inaugurations, not closely,
6:00
Speaker 2: watch that one more closely than many of them. Right,
6:03
Speaker 2: there's some that I've just thought, and some of them,
6:06
Speaker 2: you know, you tune in because you're seeing something. You're
6:09
Speaker 2: seeing a candidate who was president, who lost the presidency
6:15
Speaker 2: and then wanted again, and you saw that remarkable comeback
6:18
Speaker 2: in this this Trump inauguration. I didn't watch Biden's. I
6:23
Speaker 2: didn't didn't. There was nothing about that one that was
6:26
Speaker 2: overly interesting to me. A career politician who really had
6:31
Speaker 2: it was his turn, right, and had he, you know,
6:36
Speaker 2: wanted to run for president instead of you know, like
6:41
Speaker 2: run against Barack Obama, that might have been I don't know.
6:45
Speaker 2: Did he did he did he have that interest?
6:47
Speaker 1: Then?
6:48
Speaker 2: No, he was the guy who was telling us that
6:51
Speaker 2: Obama was the first ever well spoken black person ever ever.
6:57
Speaker 2: So you know, it just shows you where we were
7:01
Speaker 2: when he was picked to be the vice president of
7:03
Speaker 2: the candidate to run with Barack Obama, that that attitude
7:07
Speaker 2: was there in him, this career politician. But anyway, so
7:12
Speaker 2: and then we know he should have been the one,
7:15
Speaker 2: maybe instead of Hillary the next time. I mean, that
7:17
Speaker 2: would have made more sense back in twenty sixteen. But anyway,
7:22
Speaker 2: the point is we we were supposed to be getting
7:28
Speaker 2: something different. We were supposed to be getting this new
7:32
Speaker 2: world where we could put the racism behind us, we
7:36
Speaker 2: could put slavery behind us, we could put the Civil
7:39
Speaker 2: rights era saying hey, we did it. We have come
7:43
Speaker 2: to this place where things were different. But over the
7:49
Speaker 2: course of the presidency, as Republicans did what all political
7:54
Speaker 2: parties do. By the way, if you're not aware of this,
7:57
Speaker 2: you got two political parties primarily in this country, two
8:00
Speaker 2: big ones. One of them will be in power and
8:04
Speaker 2: the other will do everything they can to oppose them.
8:07
Speaker 2: And then the other side comes into power, and then
8:10
Speaker 2: the other side decides they're going to do everything they
8:12
Speaker 2: can to oppose them. It's just part of the way
8:14
Speaker 2: it works. People seem shocked that Republicans and Democrats don't
8:17
Speaker 2: always support each other. Now, there are some issues where
8:21
Speaker 2: you would think, hey, what's the problem. What's going on
8:26
Speaker 2: with Doje and Elon Musk. That's a whole like, that's
8:30
Speaker 2: a really gigantic can of worms for Democrats because we've
8:35
Speaker 2: learned so much about some of the money being funneled around,
8:39
Speaker 2: some of the money moving from one pocket to another pocket,
8:41
Speaker 2: from taxpayers to all these different all these different causes
8:47
Speaker 2: and all these different that are ultimately sending money into
8:51
Speaker 2: the pockets of either supporters or the actual you know,
8:55
Speaker 2: members of Congress themselves. It's an ugly mess. But in reality,
9:01
Speaker 2: the idea of saving the taxpayer's money and working on
9:05
Speaker 2: fixing our debt and getting us away from a place
9:09
Speaker 2: where we might end up in World War three, you
9:11
Speaker 2: would think all of these things would be good for
9:14
Speaker 2: both sides. But again, you got one in power and
9:17
Speaker 2: one opposes, and Barack Obama had Republicans that were trying
9:20
Speaker 2: to do what they could to slow him down. He
9:22
Speaker 2: had a period of time where, like this current administration,
9:27
Speaker 2: he had everything in place for him to get a
9:29
Speaker 2: lot of things done. He didn't get much done, and
9:34
Speaker 2: the blame went to racism. That's not where we were promised.
9:39
Speaker 2: We were promised we're going to move past this. But
9:42
Speaker 2: what it ultimately happened for all of us is we
9:47
Speaker 2: went right back to the same old thing, and it's
9:50
Speaker 2: actually kind of gotten worse in some ways, and that
9:54
Speaker 2: it's just become the go to now for reasons for everything.
9:58
Speaker 2: And I bring all this up now because we just
10:02
Speaker 2: had an election with a black woman who did not
10:06
Speaker 2: go through a primary. When she tried to go through
10:09
Speaker 2: a primary against Joe Biden, she was one of the
10:13
Speaker 2: very first candidates out of the race because there was
10:17
Speaker 2: just no interest in her. She called Joe Biden out
10:23
Speaker 2: on a lot of things, many of the racist things
10:25
Speaker 2: he said and did in his time, and sexist things
10:29
Speaker 2: as a candidate. And then when she became the VP
10:32
Speaker 2: candidate selected by the Biden campaign and she was actually asked,
10:37
Speaker 2: you know what about those things you said about him,
10:39
Speaker 2: she said, Oh, that's because we were just running against
10:42
Speaker 2: each other. It was a campaign. You know how campaigns work.
10:47
Speaker 2: So they just picked her. When Biden dropped out, was
10:52
Speaker 2: forced out, pushed out, they picked her to be the candidate.
10:55
Speaker 2: And what they did effectively was set the table for
11:00
Speaker 2: what the excuses would be when she didn't win. Americans
11:03
Speaker 2: aren't ready for a woman president. Americans aren't ready for
11:06
Speaker 2: a black woman president. And now in April, we are
11:14
Speaker 2: several months past the election, we are a few months
11:18
Speaker 2: into this presidency, and this tired old argument is rearing
11:23
Speaker 2: its head again because, as we have said many times,
11:29
Speaker 2: Democrats are still in disarray. They don't know what to
11:33
Speaker 2: talk about. So the default setting goes back to, this
11:37
Speaker 2: is what we're going to complain about. In creating the game,
11:47
Speaker 2: they've effectively preset themselves for the excuse that they wanted
11:53
Speaker 2: to have for why she would lose. And here's the
11:57
Speaker 2: other fun part about it, because I saw there were
11:59
Speaker 2: a number this past weekend, there were a handful of
12:03
Speaker 2: people that popped in on shows on MSNBC and CNN
12:10
Speaker 2: and they were asked about why Trump won, or you
12:13
Speaker 2: know the interesting things about Trump, and they said, well,
12:17
Speaker 2: it just it shows how racist seventy seven million Americans
12:22
Speaker 2: were to vote for him, that they chose a felon
12:26
Speaker 2: over a black woman. I saw that a couple times
12:29
Speaker 2: and I thought, Okay, why is he a felon? He's
12:33
Speaker 2: a felon because of law fair, He's a felon because
12:37
Speaker 2: they decided to take a crime, a misdemeanor that happened
12:43
Speaker 2: outside of the Statute of Limitations, something that Barack Obama
12:48
Speaker 2: and Hillary Clinton were both guilty of, and it was
12:52
Speaker 2: handled like a misdemeanor, and they paid fines and they
12:55
Speaker 2: moved on. But they created a new way to prosecute
13:01
Speaker 2: Trump and make it a felony so that it would
13:04
Speaker 2: not be outside of the statute limitations, and it was
13:06
Speaker 2: a new way to prosecute him, and then made him
13:10
Speaker 2: a felon with hopes that he wouldn't be able to
13:13
Speaker 2: run for president. It wasn't really initially about saying, hey,
13:18
Speaker 2: he's a felon, don't vote for him. It was about saying, hey,
13:24
Speaker 2: he's a felon. Can he even be on the ballot.
13:28
Speaker 2: So they created a way to prosecute him so that
13:31
Speaker 2: they could set that up, and then they did, and
13:35
Speaker 2: the American people liked him more for it. That backfired,
13:39
Speaker 2: and then they turned it into your mean, you're going
13:40
Speaker 2: to vote for a felon. I can't believe you're going
13:44
Speaker 2: to vote for a felon. I had someone tell me
13:46
Speaker 2: a friend, can you run for president as a felon?
13:50
Speaker 2: Are you allowed to do that? So it was there,
13:54
Speaker 2: the talking points were all there. That was all out there.
13:57
Speaker 2: And then of course this idea of where going to
14:00
Speaker 2: select the candidate without going through any kind of a primary,
14:05
Speaker 2: And we're going to choose the vice president. She's a
14:10
Speaker 2: black woman. Surely we'll be able to get enough interest
14:13
Speaker 2: in votes from the black community to vote for a
14:17
Speaker 2: black woman to be president. And we'll tell the white
14:19
Speaker 2: women that they're racist if they don't support a black woman,
14:23
Speaker 2: because you know, she's one of them, because she's a woman.
14:28
Speaker 2: And we know ultimately how this all played out. We
14:32
Speaker 2: kind of saw the writing on the wall from the
14:34
Speaker 2: moment the mugshot was taken in Georgia, when Trump went
14:37
Speaker 2: in and was given his mugshot when he turned himself in,
14:42
Speaker 2: and as the story continued to spiral with the various
14:47
Speaker 2: indictments and charges, and then finally, of course, the felony
14:54
Speaker 2: conviction sentencing him before he was sworn in. By the way,
14:58
Speaker 2: he wasn't technically a felon when the election happened, but
15:01
Speaker 2: before he was sworn in, they made sure to get
15:03
Speaker 2: the sentencing done so that that would officially make him
15:05
Speaker 2: a felon, so they could say that a felon was
15:07
Speaker 2: sworn in as president. And now as they look back
15:11
Speaker 2: at the election, the best thing that they've got is
15:13
Speaker 2: again to call the majority of the country racist because
15:19
Speaker 2: they would rather have a felon for a president than
15:22
Speaker 2: a black woman as a president, ignoring the fact that
15:26
Speaker 2: most people either vote based on a party or they
15:31
Speaker 2: vote based on whether they think the country is going
15:33
Speaker 2: in the right direction or whether a candidate can now
15:35
Speaker 2: take the country in the right direction. Does race play
15:40
Speaker 2: into it, certainly, But is it racist to vote for
15:45
Speaker 2: a candidate or assume that everyone who looks a certain
15:49
Speaker 2: way is going to vote for a candidate because of
15:52
Speaker 2: their race. Well, that seems much more racist. I mean,
15:56
Speaker 2: if we're you know, we're a few months past the
15:59
Speaker 2: Martin Luther King Holiday. But it's interesting how we always
16:03
Speaker 2: seem to ignore his teachings. We take the holiday and
16:06
Speaker 2: we have people that will read things from him, but
16:08
Speaker 2: they really like to just ignore the strongest of his
16:12
Speaker 2: messages about you know, his dream, content of character, not
16:19
Speaker 2: color of skin. But here we are, here, we are
16:23
Speaker 2: in April, a few months into this presidency, and we're
16:26
Speaker 2: hearing about oh, well that's that's the reason. It's this, Uh,
16:31
Speaker 2: they don't want to vote for a black woman, someone
16:34
Speaker 2: that we selected to be the candidate because she was
16:36
Speaker 2: a black woman. That's the reason she was selected to
16:39
Speaker 2: be the vice president was because she was a black woman.
16:43
Speaker 2: They created a dynamic thinking this is going to be
16:46
Speaker 2: the thing that's going to help us win or give
16:48
Speaker 2: us this excuse afterwards and tell everybody how racist they
16:53
Speaker 2: are and how moving forward they should definitely vote the
16:56
Speaker 2: way we tell them to or else be perceived themselves
17:00
Speaker 2: as racist instead of the felon who's only a felon
17:05
Speaker 2: because we made him a felon for political reasons. Speaking
17:08
Speaker 2: of Obama, just quickly, his wife, Michelle Obama, who a
17:11
Speaker 2: lot of people thought, Oh, maybe she's going to swoop
17:13
Speaker 2: in and she's going to grab this nomination and run
17:18
Speaker 2: and everybody likes her. She started a podcast. That's the
17:21
Speaker 2: thing now that you do. You start podcasts for political reasons,
17:26
Speaker 2: and there's no nobody. Everybody kind of speculates maybe she's
17:29
Speaker 2: going to run, or she's going to do something. She
17:30
Speaker 2: said repeatedly she doesn't want to be president. But the
17:34
Speaker 2: podcast that she started not doing great, doesn't have the
17:38
Speaker 2: numbers that people thought it would have, doesn't have the
17:43
Speaker 2: interest for a lot of people. I haven't looked at
17:47
Speaker 2: exactly what the numbers are. I just know that a
17:49
Speaker 2: lot of people don't seem to care. She thought that
17:51
Speaker 2: was worth mentioning because I think people are maybe ready
17:54
Speaker 2: to move on from all of that. But that was
17:56
Speaker 2: the promise that we had back in two thousand and eight. Right,
18:00
Speaker 2: we're going to move on from all of that. We're
18:02
Speaker 2: gonna have inauguration Day and then we're going to move
18:04
Speaker 2: on from all that, and we're going to start looking
18:07
Speaker 2: maybe at the content of character and not color of skin.
18:13
Speaker 2: And we've spent the past seventeen years, eighteen years still
18:19
Speaker 2: just right there in it. Right seventeen years going into
18:23
Speaker 2: the eighteenth is what I mean. And it's still there
18:27
Speaker 2: and still lingering. But I think that the election told
18:29
Speaker 2: us that maybe people are ready to vote for a
18:32
Speaker 2: candidate based on what they think they can do, not
18:35
Speaker 2: so much based on whether or not someone changed the
18:41
Speaker 2: laws so that they could prosecute someone and call them
18:44
Speaker 2: a felon. And then the other side say, hey, look
18:46
Speaker 2: a black woman. You know you got to vote for her.

21:06
Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
21:09
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
21:13
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
21:15
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
21:17
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
21:21
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
21:24
Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or
21:27
Speaker 2: warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
21:32
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to

Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
21:37
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
21:39
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
21:44
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
21:46
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid, you'd
21:48
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
21:50
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
21:53
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
21:56
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
21:58
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
22:02
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
22:05

22:15
Speaker 2: Right after the break, well, did you know that you
22:26
Speaker 2: can send emails and receive emails from your phone? And
22:33
Speaker 2: don't get too excited because apparently some of the big
22:36
Speaker 2: cell phone companies are cutting this feature out. And apparently
22:42
Speaker 2: June seventeenth is the day will stop for AT and
22:45
Speaker 2: T customers, as AT and T making the announcement that
22:49
Speaker 2: their email to text system will be shut down then.
22:53
Speaker 2: So basically the way it works at least until June
22:57
Speaker 2: seventeenth for AT and T customers, as you could say,
23:00
Speaker 2: take the cell phone number of an AT and T customer,
23:04
Speaker 2: put it in, follow it by at txt dot att
23:07
Speaker 2: dot net as the email address, and you can send
23:10
Speaker 2: a message. Well, Verizon also getting ready to shut down
23:15
Speaker 2: their version as well. Now you don't put dot at
23:17
Speaker 2: T for the Verizon feature. But it's going away. I know,
23:21
Speaker 2: I don't know why it's going away. It doesn't say
23:25
Speaker 2: why they decided to do it, other than people probably
23:30
Speaker 2: don't really utilize it. I know there was a case
23:32
Speaker 2: of some scammers that we're trying to use it because
23:36
Speaker 2: really once you know someone's phone number, then you could
23:40
Speaker 2: you know, find ways to contact them through that by
23:43
Speaker 2: sending them those messages. But it's going away. You got
23:47
Speaker 2: it for a little while longer if you wanted to
23:49
Speaker 2: mess around with it, so and it would come in
23:52
Speaker 2: handy sometimes if you you know, needed an extra email
23:55
Speaker 2: address for something. Former bartender in Wales named it. James
24:00
Speaker 2: Vice has created a game changing self cooling can. They
24:04
Speaker 2: call it the cool Can. How about that for a name.
24:07
Speaker 2: It's basically the size of a sixteen ounce can holds
24:10
Speaker 2: twelve ounces of beverage. Users press a button and it
24:14
Speaker 2: releases water into the can's walls, which reacts with a
24:17
Speaker 2: coolant to chill the drink in just two minutes. Supposedly
24:21
Speaker 2: big companies like Coke Red Bull interested in his work.
24:26
Speaker 2: If they buy in, of course, they certainly have the
24:31
Speaker 2: financial capital to make this product happen pretty quickly. So
24:37
Speaker 2: get ready. Maybe the self cooling can is coming. Beats those,
24:43
Speaker 2: you know, the little to see. This is one of
24:46
Speaker 2: those cases where I revert to but those little what
24:50
Speaker 2: do you call it koozies. Yeah, in Australia they call
24:54
Speaker 2: them stubby coolers, and that's what my brain went to,
24:57
Speaker 2: and the word koozie wasn't even in my head. So yeah,
25:00
Speaker 2: with an Australian long enough, I'd spent enough time over
25:03
Speaker 2: there you pick up those things, and I really wasn't.
25:06
Speaker 2: I had to think for a minute. On radio, we
25:09
Speaker 2: give away coozies all the time, used to back in
25:11
Speaker 2: the day, back you know, when there were people giving
25:15
Speaker 2: away things on the radio. Anyway, So it beats that.
25:19
Speaker 2: It beats the koozie or the stubby cooler, depending on
25:22
Speaker 2: what continent you're on. So, yeah, sounds like a neat invented.
25:27
Speaker 2: Sounds a lot like the coffee cups on curb your
25:32
Speaker 2: enthusiasm that you put it on the little thing and
25:34
Speaker 2: it heats the coffee up. Some number crunchers at smart
25:38
Speaker 2: asset tried to figure out the best cities for beer drinkers.
25:43
Speaker 2: They generated a top fifty based on numbers of beers, breweries,
25:47
Speaker 2: bars in each community, as well as prices. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
25:51
Speaker 2: at the top of the list for best cities for
25:54
Speaker 2: beer drinkers. Bend, Oregon, Milwaukee that makes sense. Saint Louis, Ashville,
26:00
Speaker 2: North Carolina, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Fort Collins, Colorado, Austin and Missoula,
26:07
Speaker 2: Montana round out the top ten there for best cities
26:12
Speaker 2: for beer drinkers. So I not a lot of surprises,
26:18
Speaker 2: I don't think in that list. Nothing really jumps out
26:21
Speaker 2: as like, wow, all seems about right, I think, doesn't
26:26
Speaker 2: It doesn't that feel about right as far as a
26:28
Speaker 2: list for beer towns, forget relationships and situationships. The new
26:35
Speaker 2: gen z drading trend is something called exploration ships. It's
26:38
Speaker 2: about exploring connections without the pressure of labels. Do people
26:43
Speaker 2: actually use these terms to people say I'm in a situationship,
26:48
Speaker 2: I'm in an exploration. They say these things. Or is
26:51
Speaker 2: it just a term so that it can make sense
26:53
Speaker 2: for us old people? I don't know. New survey found
26:57
Speaker 2: fifty one percent of gen Z respondents think traditional relationship
27:00
Speaker 2: through outdated. Sixty one percent believe that relationships should be
27:03
Speaker 2: less restrictive, forty two percent saying they prefer connections with
27:07
Speaker 2: no labels. The idea is to meet new people in
27:10
Speaker 2: real life and just see where things go. Naturally that
27:15
Speaker 2: there used to be a term for that. It was
27:17
Speaker 2: called a relationship. I mean that's what it was. You
27:19
Speaker 2: meet somebody and you see where things go. They also
27:23
Speaker 2: in the survey revealed that young singles are done with
27:27
Speaker 2: dating apps. Seventy percent of Z respondents said they don't
27:30
Speaker 2: like using dating apps. Forty percent said they were tired
27:33
Speaker 2: of the endless swiping. So that'll do it for this
