Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:05
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Monday morning, twenty seventh day of April. I'm West thanks
0:14
Speaker 2: for joining me. What a weekend we had? What a weekend.
0:21
Speaker 2: Something that folks on the left were asking for well,
0:26
Speaker 2: I can't say they were all asking for it. Some
0:28
Speaker 2: on the left were asking for it, and some were saying,
0:34
Speaker 2: what do you we want him to do it? And
0:36
Speaker 2: then when he does it and they go, no, we
0:38
Speaker 2: didn't really want him to do it. But the White
0:41
Speaker 2: House Correspondent's Dinner, which is a historically good natured you know,
0:50
Speaker 2: like a roast, that's what it is. That's what it's
0:53
Speaker 2: been in the past, and this event where politicians kind
0:57
Speaker 2: of take a break from the typical I mean, it's
1:02
Speaker 2: still nasty, it still has that element to it, and
1:05
Speaker 2: it has especially in the last you know, since twenty sixteen.
1:08
Speaker 2: But there was a time at least when this was
1:11
Speaker 2: an event where people were able to uh it was
1:14
Speaker 2: it was like the old Carson days. You know, people
1:17
Speaker 2: made jokes about both sides, and people took shots at
1:19
Speaker 2: each other, and it was meant to be fun. That's
1:22
Speaker 2: what it was meant to be. And when the first
1:26
Speaker 2: administration was there for for Trump and the folks on
1:30
Speaker 2: the left, it became this regular thing, I guess over
1:33
Speaker 2: the years with him where they were like, please do it,
1:35
Speaker 2: we want to get you in there and tear you apart.
1:38
Speaker 2: And then when they said they were going to do
1:39
Speaker 2: it this year, it became a what are you doing?
1:42
Speaker 2: We don't we don't want him in there. We don't,
1:43
Speaker 2: we don't want to do that. We don't want to
1:45
Speaker 2: have him around. That's my take on the way it's been.
1:52
Speaker 2: And you know, I know there's more to it than that,
1:55
Speaker 2: but that's that's that's a general rundown of the way
1:57
Speaker 2: things have been. So they decided to do it. And
2:01
Speaker 2: in case you just completely missed the news all weekend,
2:05
Speaker 2: we had a third now attempt on the life of
2:09
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. They're calling it the third attempt on his life.
2:15
Speaker 2: I think you have to go back to when they
2:17
Speaker 2: tried to get into the White House and drag him
2:19
Speaker 2: out by his orange hair and kill him. Remember that,
2:22
Speaker 2: And they decided to set a church on fire because
2:25
Speaker 2: they couldn't get to him. I would argue that's more
2:29
Speaker 2: that night was more of an insurrection attempt than anything
2:33
Speaker 2: on January sixth, And it's just my take on that.
2:38
Speaker 2: I just think if you decide you want a mo an,
2:41
Speaker 2: angry mob of people want to drag the president of
2:43
Speaker 2: the United States out of the White House and murder
2:46
Speaker 2: him on the White House lawn, I think that's an
2:48
Speaker 2: attempt at overthrowing the government when it's a you know,
2:52
Speaker 2: duly elected president and all that. I just that's that's
2:55
Speaker 2: my take on that. You can call whatever you want
2:58
Speaker 2: to call January sixth, But I think if you wanted
3:01
Speaker 2: to take a p and I don't care which party,
3:03
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter to me. If someone said that they
3:06
Speaker 2: wanted to go in and take Joe Biden and drag
3:09
Speaker 2: him out of the White House and murder him on
3:13
Speaker 2: the White House lawn, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, you know
3:17
Speaker 2: that to me, a mob of people trying to do
3:20
Speaker 2: that would constitute an insurrection in my book, because they
3:24
Speaker 2: just didn't like the fact that that person was president.
3:28
Speaker 2: So let's we had this happen. They're calling it the
3:34
Speaker 2: third attempt. And obviously he got shot in the ear.
3:37
Speaker 2: Obviously we had the jackass that wanted to shoot him
3:40
Speaker 2: from the golf course. So I think it's kind of
3:44
Speaker 2: like that thing where they go everything have people with
3:46
Speaker 2: celebrities always dye in threes, and you go, well, if
3:49
Speaker 2: you stop counting, then yeah, they happen in threes. But
3:53
Speaker 2: if you just go to four, then they're not happening
3:57
Speaker 2: in threes. And I think that's the kind of thing
4:00
Speaker 2: with this with Trump. He's had a number of attempts
4:03
Speaker 2: on his life, and you know how, maybe because guns.
4:09
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what makes this the
4:11
Speaker 2: third one, but obviously it's the third one since starting
4:16
Speaker 2: it when he got shot in the year. I mean,
4:19
Speaker 2: that's fair to say. And I think there's been some others,
4:21
Speaker 2: haven't There have been people that have been trying to
4:23
Speaker 2: get to him. I think Iron was trying to get
4:25
Speaker 2: to him. There's been a few other attempts. But so
4:29
Speaker 2: we know now a little bit more about what happened,
4:32
Speaker 2: and this is going to be a developing story and
4:34
Speaker 2: we'll have more information as time goes on. We learned
4:38
Speaker 2: a lot yesterday after the incident happened on Saturday night,
4:42
Speaker 2: but a man tried to rush into the correspondence dinner
4:46
Speaker 2: happening at a hotel, as you know, tends to be
4:51
Speaker 2: the case in a lot of these events. I know
4:54
Speaker 2: this has become a big push for Republicans and the
4:57
Speaker 2: Trump administration to say, well, we got to get the
5:00
Speaker 2: ballroom set up. I don't disagree with that. I think
5:06
Speaker 2: all of the ballroom argument stuff was silly to me,
5:08
Speaker 2: and it still is. It's silly that people were opposing it.
5:12
Speaker 2: I don't really understand other than you know, people saying, well,
5:16
Speaker 2: he was trying to make it in his image and
5:19
Speaker 2: he thinks he's a king and all this silly stuff,
5:23
Speaker 2: which is ridiculous. If the man wants to get the
5:26
Speaker 2: ballroom updated, let him. We've had presidents that have made
5:29
Speaker 2: up upgrades to the White House in the past. This
5:32
Speaker 2: is not but that's been a discussion in the past.
5:37
Speaker 2: But I think it's a weird timing. I don't disagree
5:40
Speaker 2: with them saying that if this had been done, you know,
5:43
Speaker 2: at the White House, had this been done in the
5:45
Speaker 2: new ballroom, this is a reason that you know, we
5:48
Speaker 2: could have more security there. And sure, this is this
5:51
Speaker 2: is a bad This is a nightmare scenario for Secret Service.
5:57
Speaker 2: And I don't know anything about it. I have limited
6:01
Speaker 2: knowledge about the way Secret Service works, and I can
6:04
Speaker 2: tell you a hotel with a lot of people coming in,
6:09
Speaker 2: people staying in the hotel that have nothing to do
6:11
Speaker 2: with the event. I know, this is a potential nightmare scenario.
6:16
Speaker 2: And then you get one high profile the highest of
6:20
Speaker 2: profile targets, and there wasn't just one, there were several
6:22
Speaker 2: high profile targets, but they're there. And then you've got
6:27
Speaker 2: people that are trying to utilize the hotel as a
6:33
Speaker 2: means of getting access to I mean, you had one
6:35
Speaker 2: person who tried to do that, tried to get through security.
6:40
Speaker 2: It's almost, in a way a little symbolic of what's
6:46
Speaker 2: going on in America when you say we're not going
6:50
Speaker 2: to we're sticking by this freedom of religion thing, and
6:57
Speaker 2: we don't want to mandate a religion on people or
7:00
Speaker 2: restrict people's ability to practice their religion, and we're going
7:03
Speaker 2: to be so politically correct about it that we're going
7:07
Speaker 2: to let people come into the country illegally in some
7:09
Speaker 2: cases and then try to set up like a theocracy
7:14
Speaker 2: in their town because their religion would be for that,
7:19
Speaker 2: and we're just gonna because we don't want to hurt
7:20
Speaker 2: anybody's feelings, we're just going to kind of let that
7:22
Speaker 2: thing happen, and our sensitivities go away if it's something
7:27
Speaker 2: other than Christianity. For a while, it was also Judaism,
7:33
Speaker 2: and then that vanished quickly. I don't know what changed, well,
7:38
Speaker 2: I know what changed. The far left is what changed.
7:41
Speaker 2: But when you basically say we're going to just welcome
7:46
Speaker 2: anybody to come in and do whatever they want, even
7:49
Speaker 2: if it means, you know, a religion that at its
7:54
Speaker 2: core and for some people who practice it violence and
8:00
Speaker 2: in death or okay, and then you just kind of
8:04
Speaker 2: you welcome that in by being able to take advantage
8:09
Speaker 2: of this loophole that's in place. Not that any of
8:13
Speaker 2: this is all hypothetical, of course, this is not happening
8:16
Speaker 2: anywhere in our country, or Europe or Canada. Parts of Canton,
8:20
Speaker 2: it's nowhere. This is not happening anywhere, and it certainly
8:25
Speaker 2: doesn't have anything to do with anybody who would wish
8:27
Speaker 2: ill on anyone. This is just I'm just throwing out
8:29
Speaker 2: a hypothetical. So's it was definitely a loophole situation for
8:35
Speaker 2: at least one person who decided, you know, I've had
8:38
Speaker 2: enough of the Christians and the Republicans, and I'm going
8:42
Speaker 2: to go after Donald Trump and I'm going to get
8:44
Speaker 2: him and failed miserably. Thankfully, a lot of people calling
8:49
Speaker 2: Donald Trump the luckiest man in the world. Again, that's
8:55
Speaker 2: better than the people that are going the other direction
8:58
Speaker 2: and saying, you know, oh damn it, we met again,
9:00
Speaker 2: and sadly there was a lot of that. Yesterday I
9:04
Speaker 2: saw this story reported. I don't know. I can't vouch
9:09
Speaker 2: for the legitimacy of it, as I'm I'm just going
9:17
Speaker 2: to bring it up because I do know. There's a
9:20
Speaker 2: Wisconsin brewery that has it was owned by a former
9:26
Speaker 2: state Assembly candidate, a Democrat in Wisconsin, and apparently the
9:34
Speaker 2: company posted something on social media saying that we almost
9:40
Speaker 2: got free beer today referencing the attempted assassination. I'm not
9:45
Speaker 2: going to name the bar, and I'm not going to
9:47
Speaker 2: name the particular Democrat, because again, I don't know if
9:54
Speaker 2: this is legit. If it is, obviously it's discussed thing
10:00
Speaker 2: on a very specific level. Wouldn't surprise me not in
10:06
Speaker 2: the era of many disgusting things that we have allowed
10:11
Speaker 2: people to celebrate in the name of free speech. Again,
10:15
Speaker 2: a loophole, an opportunity for people to to take advantage of,
10:24
Speaker 2: oh well, a free speech. You can say whatever you want,
10:26
Speaker 2: you can say this horrible thing about an attempt on
10:31
Speaker 2: the life of a sitting president of the United States.
10:34
Speaker 2: But anyway, I do want to focus on things that
10:38
Speaker 2: I know that were said. I know that Jimmy Kimmel
10:43
Speaker 2: made some jokes before the Correspondence dinner where he basically
10:50
Speaker 2: made a reference. I guess this is something that he
10:53
Speaker 2: I don't know if this was on a show. I
10:54
Speaker 2: guess it must have been on a show in reference
10:58
Speaker 2: because he was upset. He didn't like the fact that
11:00
Speaker 2: Trump was doing this Correspondence dinner and he referenced doing
11:05
Speaker 2: like a parody of the event, like he was there,
11:07
Speaker 2: and he said, our first lady, Milania is here. Look
11:09
Speaker 2: at Malania, so beautiful, Missus Trump, you have a glow
11:12
Speaker 2: like an expectant widow. This was on Thursday's show, I guess,
11:18
Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel's TV show. And we wonder why things like
11:22
Speaker 2: this are happening. We wonder why people think that they're
11:29
Speaker 2: justified in attempting to kill him. I mean, we could
11:37
Speaker 2: talk Luigi MANGIONI, we could talk about the people who
11:43
Speaker 2: reacted to, of course Charlie Kirk, but the people who
11:46
Speaker 2: reacted to the shot in the ear, the gas lighting
11:51
Speaker 2: that comes with it. That's a term they like to
11:52
Speaker 2: stay on the left, like talk about gas lighting and
11:54
Speaker 2: the gas lighting that comes with He didn't even get
11:58
Speaker 2: shot in the ear. You people are just making the up.
12:00
Speaker 2: It didn't even really happen. They're saying now that this summer,
12:03
Speaker 2: saying that this assassination attempt over the weekend wasn't real.
12:10
Speaker 2: They're just trying to get out of a bad news cycle. No,
12:16
Speaker 2: it happened. I mean it was live. You know, you
12:25
Speaker 2: need to see the picture of the guy being arrested.
12:28
Speaker 2: You can do that. You need to read his manifesto
12:32
Speaker 2: and see all of those things. And I know you
12:34
Speaker 2: get the conspiracy people that want to say the guy
12:36
Speaker 2: on the roof there was something to it. Look, we
12:40
Speaker 2: could spend all day on trying to prove or disprove
12:43
Speaker 2: all the syops on things. What I can tell you
12:46
Speaker 2: is that we have a problem in the country of
12:48
Speaker 2: people who think that the President of the United States
12:51
Speaker 2: is somehow evil and deserves to die, and that anybody
12:57
Speaker 2: who disagrees with you is evil and deserves to die.
13:00
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk deserved to die. The Health South CEO deserved
13:06
Speaker 2: to die. These justifications for it is, this is where
13:12
Speaker 2: we have a significant problem, and we're not We're still
13:17
Speaker 2: just not hearing. And I know there's been a couple
13:21
Speaker 2: God loved the handful the and and I know there
13:26
Speaker 2: was a Wisconsin I think representative Democrat who said, can
13:29
Speaker 2: we stop trying to murder the President of the United States?
13:33
Speaker 2: And I don't have her name, but bless her for that.
13:35
Speaker 2: That's where they should be. And there's just a you
13:39
Speaker 2: get some of the others to say, we have to stop,
13:41
Speaker 2: we have to tone down the rhetoric. This isn't about
13:44
Speaker 2: toning down the rhetoric. This is about stop talking about
13:48
Speaker 2: him like he is hitler, or that he is evil
13:53
Speaker 2: or all of these things. There was a woman there
13:58
Speaker 2: as as so the the man tried to get through security,
14:02
Speaker 2: shots got fired. A Secret Service agent got hit, thankfully
14:07
Speaker 2: in his bulletproof vest kevlar vest whatever they call it now?
14:14
Speaker 2: Is that what they call it now? Do they call
14:15
Speaker 2: it bulletproof anymore? The kevlar vest. He got hit in
14:18
Speaker 2: his protection and and you know, was taken in, checked out.
14:24
Speaker 2: Everything was okay. But this happens. They get the president,
14:28
Speaker 2: they get him out of the hotel. They get him
14:31
Speaker 2: in his vehicle and they take him away, right, That's
14:36
Speaker 2: what they do. They get him away from the scenario
14:39
Speaker 2: so that they can keep him protected. There was a
14:42
Speaker 2: woman on the street that tried to get in front
14:44
Speaker 2: of his motorcade to stop him from being able to leave.
14:48
Speaker 2: This is what we have convinced ourselves is acceptable behavior.
14:55
Speaker 2: We've convinced ourselves that this is okay to do. And
14:58
Speaker 2: this woman, there's a video her being arrested. I don't
15:01
Speaker 2: know how much she knew about what was happening that.
15:05
Speaker 2: I guess we need more information on that. But when
15:08
Speaker 2: I saw it, I just thought, what are we doing?
15:12
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously something has happened, and they're trying to
15:14
Speaker 2: get the president, and they're trying to get the vice president.
15:17
Speaker 2: They're trying to get everybody away from this scenario. The
15:19
Speaker 2: first lady and this woman thinks it's okay to jump
15:23
Speaker 2: across the police barricade to try to obstruct the president
15:28
Speaker 2: from being able to get away. That's okay. What are
15:32
Speaker 2: we doing? Whose side are we on? Like, as a society,
15:38
Speaker 2: as a country, what are we doing? There was a
15:43
Speaker 2: priest kind of recently that I guess over Easter and
15:46
Speaker 2: had something to do with Easter. Maybe, I don't know.
15:48
Speaker 2: Someone sent it to me and I guess they thought
15:49
Speaker 2: it was funny. It's not. But made some joke about
15:53
Speaker 2: the praying that God would take Trump away from us,
15:55
Speaker 2: and everybody giggled and he said, no, no, take his pain away. Hahha.
16:00
Speaker 2: It's not funny. That's a priest at a church. This
16:06
Speaker 2: is what we've become. And I know it's not all
16:09
Speaker 2: of us, and it's not even all Democrats. I know
16:11
Speaker 2: that it's a lot of Democrat politicians. Democrat my Democrat friends.
16:17
Speaker 2: You got to get rid of them. You can't keep
16:20
Speaker 2: voting them in and thinking that this is okay. You
16:23
Speaker 2: just can't. You can't do it. And if Republicans were
16:27
Speaker 2: doing it, it would be the same responsibility on the right.
16:31
Speaker 2: And what we know now about the Southern Poverty Law
16:34
Speaker 2: Center is I mean my brain when I heard all
16:38
Speaker 2: of this, I thought, well, did they pay the guy?
16:42
Speaker 2: Is that what's happening because they're getting the bad press.
16:45
Speaker 2: I mean, I know that's not what happened, but that
16:47
Speaker 2: thought is now like that's a possibility. The fact that
16:50
Speaker 2: it's even a possibility doesn't mean it's true, And I'm
16:54
Speaker 2: not putting that out there as the new conspiracy, but
16:57
Speaker 2: I'm just asking the question, if we know they're capable
17:00
Speaker 2: of funding different white supremacist groups for the purposes of
17:06
Speaker 2: benefiting them and their message and their overall vision for
17:11
Speaker 2: where things should go, and that's what the indictment says.
17:15
Speaker 2: So if we know that that's true, and we know
17:17
Speaker 2: that that's what they've been charged with, isn't it possible?
17:22
Speaker 2: And this guy took a long time. This guy took
17:25
Speaker 2: a while to plan all this. I guess, great job.
17:29
Speaker 2: By the way, his plan was to run through security
17:33
Speaker 2: with a pistol, a shotgun, and a couple of knives.
17:37
Speaker 2: I don't know if he just wanted to get caught.
17:40
Speaker 2: I don't know. We're gonna have to learn all that
17:42
Speaker 2: in time. But the disgusting behavior from the Southern Poverty
17:49
Speaker 2: Law Center and various NGOs we know, we know now
17:55
Speaker 2: that's another curtain that's been pulled back. Now that we've
17:57
Speaker 2: gotten a look at that, and we're able to go
18:02
Speaker 2: some really, really shady stuff. And we wonder why they
18:05
Speaker 2: want him dead. We wonder why they want the guy
18:08
Speaker 2: that wants to take away their money, Why they hated
18:11
Speaker 2: Elon so much much all the things that have panned
18:15
Speaker 2: out and played out in all of this, but it's disgusting.
18:19
Speaker 2: And if you are one of those people that, like me,
18:23
Speaker 2: knows people that are disappointed that this didn't work out
18:28
Speaker 2: over the weekend. If you know someone like that, it's disgusting.
18:34
Speaker 2: There's still hope for them, there really is. I hope.
18:37
Speaker 2: I have to believe that there's hope for them. But
18:41
Speaker 2: it's a bad place to be in. It's a really
18:44
Speaker 2: bad place for us as a country. Today's show brought
18:46
Speaker 2: to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center,
18:50

19:31
Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School
19:35
Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
19:39
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
19:43
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
19:45
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
19:49
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
19:54
Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca

Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right
22:13
Speaker 2: after the break, well, do you see yourself as the
22:24
Speaker 2: perfect travel companion? I mean if there's a free trip involved, Yeah,
22:32
Speaker 2: that could be great. Well, apparently there's a lot of
22:35
Speaker 2: people who see themselves as perfect travel partners. A new
22:39
Speaker 2: survey found seventy three percent of those who responded said
22:43
Speaker 2: that they are the perfect travel partner on vacations. Now,
22:46
Speaker 2: along with that comes this people also say that they
22:51
Speaker 2: do want a lone time on their vacations. The study
22:58
Speaker 2: found that the average traveler want it's about two hours
23:01
Speaker 2: of alone time every day while they're on vacation, not
23:04
Speaker 2: because they don't like their travel companions, but because, as
23:08
Speaker 2: some experts say, a little personal space goes a long way.
23:13
Speaker 2: Seventy seven percent say that alone time eases tension. Sixty
23:17
Speaker 2: eight percent say that it actually helps them feel more
23:19
Speaker 2: connected to the people that they are traveling with. I
23:22
Speaker 2: would say that I could be even more of a
23:25
Speaker 2: perfect travel partner if I get that alone time. Now
23:30
Speaker 2: there's people, you know, my family, When I travel with
23:32
Speaker 2: them most of the time, you're like, you're all in
23:35
Speaker 2: and good for the family time. But if you're traveling,
23:38
Speaker 2: if you're going up to somebody saying, hey, I could
23:40
Speaker 2: be the perfect travel partner for you, and it involved
23:43
Speaker 2: hours and hours of alone time, I could definitely be
23:46
Speaker 2: a perfect travel partner in that scenario. You know, at
23:51
Speaker 2: a friend once who was is a work situation, they
23:56
Speaker 2: like regularly like, hey, you should come, you know, travel
23:59
Speaker 2: with me over the weekend to XYZ destination. And I
24:04
Speaker 2: was always flattered to be asked, but I just thought
24:06
Speaker 2: I like my alone time too much, you know, to
24:10
Speaker 2: go like in this particular scenario, So I never took
24:15
Speaker 2: him up on it. But if you could book in
24:19
Speaker 2: the alone time's That's what I'm getting at, you know,
24:21
Speaker 2: I think that could work. Have you cut off a
24:24
Speaker 2: family member or friend and it's becoming a more common thing. Obviously,
24:29
Speaker 2: politics has come into play a lot in this for
24:32
Speaker 2: some people. A new survey says that thirty eight percent
24:35
Speaker 2: of Americans have gone no contact or ghosted a friend
24:38
Speaker 2: or family member within the last year. While cutting ties
24:42
Speaker 2: was once just for extreme situations, now it seems to
24:46
Speaker 2: be a go to move for handling everything, just regular old,
24:50
Speaker 2: everyday things. About seventy three percent admit their first instinct
24:55
Speaker 2: during a rough patch is to just pull away rather
24:58
Speaker 2: than talk through it, and once the court is cut
25:02
Speaker 2: it usually stays that way. The majority of respondents still
25:05
Speaker 2: not speaking with the person that they broke away from.
25:09
Speaker 2: It's sad that's what we do now. I think there's
25:12
Speaker 2: maybe a certain amount of there's a few things. I
25:16
Speaker 2: think politics has become this thing where we identify ourselves
25:20
Speaker 2: with our politics or with some particular things so much
25:25
Speaker 2: that if the other person does not completely vibe with
25:27
Speaker 2: you on it, you just think, well, I can just
25:29
Speaker 2: dismiss them. They're not going to sync with me no
25:33
Speaker 2: matter what. That's part of it. But I also think
25:36
Speaker 2: there's this abundance of new people that we have access
25:40
Speaker 2: to because of social media, and I think this is
25:44
Speaker 2: where we're wrong on this, but I think there's a
25:47
Speaker 2: feeling of well, I can meet somebody different and it's
25:50
Speaker 2: not the same. It's just not the same. So if
25:53
Speaker 2: you think you're trading out someone that you've known for
25:57
Speaker 2: a while because of some little squabble or something, and
26:01
Speaker 2: you think, well, I'm going to meet somebody else, it's
26:02
Speaker 2: going to be interesting, and you might, but I just
26:05
Speaker 2: think it's that sad thing about throwing somebody aside just
26:09
Speaker 2: for the purposes of going, well, there's going to be
26:11
Speaker 2: somebody else out there that I'll meet and I'll make
26:13
Speaker 2: a new friend that definitely fits with all of my things.
26:18
Speaker 2: I guess I don't know. Growing numbers of young Americans
26:22
Speaker 2: paying for the privilege to detox digitally, you know, go
26:28
Speaker 2: back to you know, pre two thousand, twenty and thirty something.
26:33
Speaker 2: Swabbing high tech smartphones for basic flip phones part of
26:35
Speaker 2: a month offline challenge. It's been organized by a startup
26:39
Speaker 2: group called dumb dot Co. Could have been my website
26:46
Speaker 2: for about one hundred dollars. Participants are issued a loner
26:49
Speaker 2: dumb phone that only handles essentials calls, texts, and uber
26:52
Speaker 2: things like that, leaving them to navigate the world without
26:56
Speaker 2: Google Maps, music streaming services, and social media for thirty days.
27:00
Speaker 2: Those who've been using the service admitted the habit of
27:03
Speaker 2: reaching for their smartphone was hard to break, but after
27:06
Speaker 2: some time they got used to listening to music on CDs,
27:10
Speaker 2: asking for strangers, asking for directions from strangers, and relearning
27:15
Speaker 2: how to just be bored sometimes. I mean, it's a thing.
27:23
Speaker 2: And I know that my fourteen year old just did
27:26
Speaker 2: a thing at school where they were. It wasn't quite
27:28
Speaker 2: a month, that was about two weeks that they were
27:31
Speaker 2: kind of detoxing from digital things, and you know, as
27:35
Speaker 2: soon as it ended, he was like, I gotta get
27:37
Speaker 2: caught I gotta get caught up. I gotta get caught
27:39
Speaker 2: up on all the things I missed. But he's fourteen,
27:43
Speaker 2: and a lot of what he was trying to get
27:44
Speaker 2: caught up on was things like sports related. Just had
27:47
Speaker 2: to know. That'll do it for this Monday edition of
27:50
Speaker 2: the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thanks for listening.
