Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
- 0:06Speaker 1: your day when you're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, twenty, first day of January. I'm West Thanks
- 0:14Speaker 2: for joining me. It just feels different, doesn't it. Something
- 0:21Speaker 2: in the air. Maybe it's just the cold weather. Maybe
- 0:25Speaker 2: it's that sort of smell of snow and severe weather
- 0:28Speaker 2: that seems to be looming over all of us. Or
- 0:32Speaker 2: maybe it's there was a lot of activity in DC yesterday.
- 0:38Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a second. First, we don't
- 0:40Speaker 2: really do the whole weather thing here. This is you know,
- 0:44Speaker 2: you may be listening to the show the day that
- 0:47Speaker 2: I release it. You may be listening to this in
- 0:50Speaker 2: two weeks. I don't know. Some people go back and
- 0:52Speaker 2: binge episodes of the show. Thank you, no matter how
- 0:54Speaker 2: you listen to it. I would if you were to
- 0:58Speaker 2: ask me, how can I bet ter help the show?
- 1:02Speaker 2: Just set it to automatically download every day. That's the
- 1:04Speaker 2: first thing that's very helpful. And then listening to it
- 1:08Speaker 2: whenever you get around to it. If you listen every day,
- 1:10Speaker 2: that'd be wonderful. If you listen to you know, binge it.
- 1:14Speaker 2: We have those days where I go, my gosh, it
- 1:16Speaker 2: looks like we got some people binging it, but it's
- 1:19Speaker 2: hard to tell because we have people that listen all
- 1:22Speaker 2: around the world, all around the world. Thank you for that.
- 1:26Speaker 2: I appreciate that. That's part of why we don't really
- 1:28Speaker 2: talk about weather very much. We'll talk about weather because
- 1:32Speaker 2: a large part of the US, especially here in the southeast,
- 1:37Speaker 2: is we've a lot of the countries already had some
- 1:41Speaker 2: severe winter weather. We don't usually get this sort of
- 1:45Speaker 2: a winter situation in We're in the Chattahoochee Valley where
- 1:49Speaker 2: we broadcast the show from, so I don't often get
- 1:53Speaker 2: to talk about snow in the forecast. I don't get
- 1:56Speaker 2: to talk often about you know, basically, we're going to
- 2:00Speaker 2: have even if we start melting anything, if we get
- 2:04Speaker 2: some over the next couple of days, our temperatures aren't
- 2:06Speaker 2: really going to get much above freezing. If they do,
- 2:10Speaker 2: we're gonna have some hazardous road conditions for us. I
- 2:13Speaker 2: understand you live in other parts of the country or
- 2:16Speaker 2: in the world where it gets cold and freezes and
- 2:18Speaker 2: there's severe cold weather all the time. You can laugh
- 2:23Speaker 2: at us all you want. As soon as it hits
- 2:25Speaker 2: one hundred degrees where you are and there's a little humidity,
- 2:28Speaker 2: and you're going, I'm melting, and we're going, yeah, we
- 2:30Speaker 2: just call that Wednesday. Any day between like late April
- 2:37Speaker 2: and mid October, we could experience one hundred degrees and
- 2:41Speaker 2: you know, ninety percent of humidity at any given point.
- 2:44Speaker 2: You complain about that. I mean, we complain about it too,
- 2:48Speaker 2: but I'm just pointing out the fact that it becomes
- 2:51Speaker 2: so miserable for folks in the north that you know,
- 2:56Speaker 2: you just kind of have a breakdown about it, whereas
- 3:00Speaker 2: here in the southeast, particularly when it gets really cold
- 3:05Speaker 2: and we get ice. No, we don't have a lot
- 3:06Speaker 2: of experience driving in it. We don't have a lot
- 3:08Speaker 2: of experience dealing with it a number of ways. There's
- 3:11Speaker 2: just things that we're not equipped with. We don't automatically
- 3:14Speaker 2: have those things. So, yes, we have some closures and
- 3:18Speaker 2: things in our area for schools. We got interesting weather
- 3:24Speaker 2: that's pushing even south of us, down into the beach area,
- 3:28Speaker 2: down in Florida. It's all in the Panhandle. There's just
- 3:33Speaker 2: a lot going on in the next twenty four hours
- 3:36Speaker 2: and really the next couple of days is it's going
- 3:38Speaker 2: to be very, very cold, and we're just kind of
- 3:43Speaker 2: all preparing for it. That's what we going on here.
- 3:46Speaker 2: But we'll manage, We'll get through it. That's what we'll do.
- 3:50Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, we may try to drive and skid
- 3:52Speaker 2: all over the roads. That's just you know, that's part
- 3:55Speaker 2: of why we have to close schools down and things.
- 3:57Speaker 2: You don't want to get kids and buses sliding around
- 3:59Speaker 2: on the roads or parents trying to do that. So
- 4:03Speaker 2: that's what's in the air in that sense. But also
- 4:07Speaker 2: there's just another feeling of something in the air in
- 4:10Speaker 2: the country as yesterday, the forty fifth President of the
- 4:16Speaker 2: United States, Donald Trump was sworn in as the forty
- 4:18Speaker 2: seventh President of the United States. This is a new day.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Yesterday was the makings of a new day. Yesterday was wild,
- 4:28Speaker 2: not like anything I've ever seen. I know, there's a
- 4:32Speaker 2: point in my life when I started paying attention much
- 4:35Speaker 2: more to politics, and I followed it when I was
- 4:40Speaker 2: in high school, but I wasn't really fully engaged. I
- 4:44Speaker 2: started to have a strong embrace of conservative ideas of
- 4:52Speaker 2: what the founders meant. I read the Constitution when I
- 4:55Speaker 2: was in high school. That was one of the things
- 4:57Speaker 2: I had a great history teacher Doug Howell, God bless you.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Thank you for turning me on to all of this,
- 5:04Speaker 2: and it prepared me in so many ways. I didn't
- 5:07Speaker 2: know then, but you know, I went through a radio
- 5:10Speaker 2: career that was largely about music and programming stations and
- 5:15Speaker 2: playing music. I enjoyed very much my time doing that,
- 5:19Speaker 2: I enjoyed. I had a great staff that worked with me.
- 5:23Speaker 2: They were just for the most part, we had fun
- 5:28Speaker 2: at work almost every day. It wasn't always great. Radio
- 5:34Speaker 2: isn't even that way anymore. It changed drastically. There was
- 5:37Speaker 2: a point where the station there was a change in
- 5:40Speaker 2: formats and there was some pressure from outside of our
- 5:45Speaker 2: company for us to change the format. That format changed,
- 5:48Speaker 2: and I was offered a couple of jobs in other
- 5:51Speaker 2: places outside of the Chattahoochee Valley, Tampa, Charlotte, Orlando. One
- 6:00Speaker 2: of those jobs fit for me. They didn't fit for
- 6:03Speaker 2: me because I had my now wife at the time,
- 6:07Speaker 2: was on a work visa and tied to Columbus. She
- 6:10Speaker 2: came all the way around the world to live here
- 6:12Speaker 2: with me and for us to pursue this relationship. I
- 6:18Speaker 2: couldn't just say, Hey, you know, I'm going to go
- 6:20Speaker 2: down to Tampa. I'll see you. I'll catch you on
- 6:25Speaker 2: the weekends. That wasn't going to work for me. So eventually,
- 6:30Speaker 2: not very long after all of that happened, there was
- 6:32Speaker 2: an opportunity that came up. My good friend Scott Miller
- 6:35Speaker 2: called and said, Hey, I need you to come work
- 6:37Speaker 2: with me at WDAK in the morning, and all of
- 6:40Speaker 2: that played out great, and it gave me an opportunity
- 6:43Speaker 2: to talk to you in radio podcast, any opportunity I
- 6:50Speaker 2: had to talk with you and interview people and talk
- 6:52Speaker 2: about this love of politics and things that I started
- 6:56Speaker 2: to acquire in high school. So that's why I say
- 6:59Speaker 2: thanks to my my teacher, my soccer coach, my friend
- 7:03Speaker 2: Doug Howell, God bless you for all the things that
- 7:06Speaker 2: I find myself somedays saying things that he would say
- 7:11Speaker 2: and I try to and it's very much at the
- 7:16Speaker 2: core of my conservative beliefs. I'm sure we don't agree
- 7:21Speaker 2: on everything. I'm sure there's things that he would probably
- 7:23Speaker 2: hear me and go, oh my gosh, I can't believe
- 7:25Speaker 2: he just said that. But I do have at my
- 7:31Speaker 2: core many of the same things and beliefs that he had,
- 7:34Speaker 2: And I can just tell you being able to have
- 7:37Speaker 2: a better understanding of where our founders were coming from.
- 7:41Speaker 2: It gave me a better idea of how messed up
- 7:44Speaker 2: things have been. So I can tell you as I
- 7:47Speaker 2: started to pay more attention to politics, and since I
- 7:53Speaker 2: started working in news, talking things I can tell and
- 7:57Speaker 2: doing things like you know this show, I can tell
- 8:01Speaker 2: you that I've never seen anything or imagined anything like
- 8:06Speaker 2: what we saw yesterday. I mean Obama was a force
- 8:11Speaker 2: of nature. Okay, Barack Obama was a force of nature.
- 8:15Speaker 2: It was his candidacy, his lead up into his inauguration,
- 8:21Speaker 2: all of those things, unlike anything that we really thought
- 8:25Speaker 2: we'd ever see in our lifetime. It was unique on
- 8:28Speaker 2: so many levels. I told you last week I watched
- 8:31Speaker 2: his inauguration. Because of the historic nature of it. You
- 8:35Speaker 2: had to take in and appreciate what was happening. Even
- 8:37Speaker 2: though I don't agree with his politics. I don't agree
- 8:39Speaker 2: with a lot of things he did or that he
- 8:41Speaker 2: currently does. But at the time I had to sit
- 8:45Speaker 2: there and watch this inauguration, there were times where I
- 8:47Speaker 2: rolled my eyes about things that were going on. Even
- 8:51Speaker 2: if it was just Aretha Franklin with that giant bow
- 8:54Speaker 2: on her head. I remember that if bo Jackson were
- 8:58Speaker 2: sitting on her head, it wouldn't have been bigger than
- 8:59Speaker 2: he wouldn't have been bigger than that bow that she
- 9:01Speaker 2: actually hadn't her head. But anyway, go look that up.
- 9:04Speaker 2: I promise you you won't regret looking up the giant
- 9:07Speaker 2: bow on Aretha Franklin's head when she was singing. But anyway,
- 9:11Speaker 2: what we saw yesterday, though, I mean, it's just unreal.
- 9:15Speaker 2: And Trump himself also a force of nature, and he
- 9:18Speaker 2: proved that yesterday as we watched an indoor inauguration, something
- 9:24Speaker 2: that I guess last happened with Reagan, I kind of
- 9:29Speaker 2: I don't know that I heard him mention that I
- 9:31Speaker 2: was listening, and I don't remember him acknowledging anything about that.
- 9:34Speaker 2: But there is a certain feeling of a one term president.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Many of the same shortcomings, many of the same failures,
- 9:41Speaker 2: many of the same issues, hostages. We had a lot
- 9:44Speaker 2: of similarities between that Carter term and then Reagan and
- 9:53Speaker 2: then Biden and now Trump getting started. But just seeing
- 9:59Speaker 2: that that room in the Capitol, just taking a look
- 10:04Speaker 2: around at the people who were there, limited number in
- 10:08Speaker 2: attendance because of the size of the room, but the
- 10:15Speaker 2: history of the room they talked about the acoustics. People
- 10:18Speaker 2: that I know that were there said the acoustics were
- 10:20Speaker 2: just incredible. It was a little who's who for me.
- 10:25Speaker 2: There were several people in the room that I have
- 10:27Speaker 2: interviewed and tried to keep in touch with over the years.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Look forward to now that they'll be working with this
- 10:33Speaker 2: president again, or working with this president period. Looking forward
- 10:39Speaker 2: to reconnecting. But just an incredible backdrop for this swearing
- 10:48Speaker 2: in ceremony and being able to see there was a
- 10:52Speaker 2: moment just standing there on this stage where you had
- 10:55Speaker 2: you know, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Jeff Bezos's fiance in
- 11:01Speaker 2: her bra Sorry, couldn't help but notice that and acknowledge it.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Jeff Zuckerberg, sorry, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Zuckerberg is a
- 11:11Speaker 2: different guy. He wasn't there, but Mark Zuckerberg and the
- 11:17Speaker 2: guy from Google. You're just sitting there and you're looking
- 11:21Speaker 2: and you're going the net Worth just in that little
- 11:24Speaker 2: club alone, standing there on on stage was absolutely insane,
- 11:30Speaker 2: and you're just thinking, Okay, these are these are power
- 11:33Speaker 2: players in tech, and these are power players in space technology,
- 11:38Speaker 2: These are power players in a number of things, and
- 11:43Speaker 2: we are watching this play out yesterday as they're there
- 11:49Speaker 2: as a part of this, seeing the cabinet picks that
- 11:56Speaker 2: were there, and again some of them interviewed over the years.
- 12:01Speaker 2: You know, Marco Rubio was the first that was approved
- 12:04Speaker 2: officially ninety nine zero as a Secretary of State. I
- 12:08Speaker 2: don't think there was any question that Rubio was going
- 12:10Speaker 2: to get approved, But watching him give his speech that
- 12:16Speaker 2: he gave, I was relieved he didn't go any longer
- 12:20Speaker 2: than he did. Trump has that tendency to do that sometimes,
- 12:23Speaker 2: but I think for the purposes of this event, it
- 12:27Speaker 2: was he said what he needed to say. It had
- 12:29Speaker 2: to be difficult for Biden and Harris to sit there
- 12:31Speaker 2: and hear basically all the things that he criticized them
- 12:36Speaker 2: for right in front of them, all the things that
- 12:39Speaker 2: he was planning to change, all of the adjustments that
- 12:42Speaker 2: were coming, all of the executive orders that were coming,
- 12:46Speaker 2: and to know that he almost immediately left there, went
- 12:49Speaker 2: and started signing executive orders. Some of those things that
- 12:53Speaker 2: he needed to sign were basically taking over control of government,
- 12:57Speaker 2: officially appointing his pick for their positions in the cabinet,
- 13:02Speaker 2: and some of the other positions that had to be appointed.
- 13:06Speaker 2: Then it was moving around again, it was lunch, and
- 13:08Speaker 2: then it was Ultimately he ended up at the arena
- 13:13Speaker 2: where he sat on stage and signed some executive orders
- 13:17Speaker 2: in front of a crowd, threw some pens out. He's
- 13:20Speaker 2: a phenomenon unlike anything I could have imagined on the
- 13:23Speaker 2: conservative side, on the Republican side, it doesn't surprise me
- 13:28Speaker 2: that Obama and the nature of his presidency and the
- 13:31Speaker 2: nature of his candidacy, it doesn't surprise me that he
- 13:35Speaker 2: was able to achieve a certain level of that. But
- 13:39Speaker 2: even for what his candidacy and presidency were at the beginning,
- 13:43Speaker 2: it's different than what we saw yesterday, as we saw
- 13:47Speaker 2: someone who the guy. One of the first things that
- 13:52Speaker 2: when he showed up on camera yesterday, one of the
- 13:55Speaker 2: first things that Jill said was he's wearing a purple tie.
- 14:00Speaker 2: He was, It was blue and red tie, but it
- 14:02Speaker 2: of course made for a purple and the symbolism there
- 14:06Speaker 2: has to be taken in Trump always wears a red tie. Right.
- 14:10Speaker 2: Occasionally we see him in a blue, but for the
- 14:11Speaker 2: most parties in a red tie, which is the you know,
- 14:14Speaker 2: conservative color, the Republican color blue, the color of Democrats,
- 14:20Speaker 2: and wearing a purple tie right away. Now, his speech
- 14:23Speaker 2: wasn't overly at least not in the beginning about unity,
- 14:28Speaker 2: but he has been talking about he's showing the desire
- 14:32Speaker 2: for unity by the people that he surrounded himself with.
- 14:36Speaker 2: So this purple tie was a really nice touch, I thought.
- 14:42Speaker 2: And we're going to talk more about all of this,
- 14:43Speaker 2: but I have to quickly mention the low rent decisions
- 14:48Speaker 2: made by the previous administration on yesterday final day, starting
- 14:54Speaker 2: the day with pardoning Anthony Fauci preemptively. What are we doing?
- 15:00Speaker 2: I mean, if Anthony Fauci hasn't done anything wrong and
- 15:03Speaker 2: everything is above board, what is he being pardoned for?
- 15:07Speaker 2: And if he's done something wrong, then why are we
- 15:10Speaker 2: pardoning him after doing you know, a couple of years
- 15:13Speaker 2: of Ever, no one's above the law. Everybody should face consequences,
- 15:18Speaker 2: but we're not going to make Fauci do that. And
- 15:21Speaker 2: a lot of questions. Rand Paul has come out and
- 15:24Speaker 2: said on X Yeah, this isn't This is basically confirming
- 15:29Speaker 2: what we suspected. There's something shady there. This tells us that.
- 15:34Speaker 2: And we're still going to dig into this and get
- 15:36Speaker 2: to the bottom of what happened with COVID we want
- 15:38Speaker 2: to know what happened, and we want to know who's
- 15:40Speaker 2: responsible preemptively pardoning him. Though that's bush league, man, I mean,
- 15:47Speaker 2: it's is it a surprise, No, but it's a boat
- 15:53Speaker 2: a presidency that was mired in question marks, and uh,
- 16:00Speaker 2: a number of just bad decisions, a number of just
- 16:04Speaker 2: bad looks right to the end for him, and that's
- 16:08Speaker 2: a way to coll And then there was one more,
- 16:11Speaker 2: just moments before the swearing in ceremony began. I guess,
- 16:15Speaker 2: in the little back door, Deally pardoned his whole family,
- 16:17Speaker 2: the Biden family. Again, why this is a fear, I guess,
- 16:23Speaker 2: of some retribution. If you're worried about retribution, maybe you
- 16:28Speaker 2: shouldn't have gone after Trump in the first place. Maybe
- 16:31Speaker 2: that would have been the better move, to try to
- 16:35Speaker 2: use Department of Justice to go after your political opponent.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Maybe if you're worried about that, maybe you should have
- 16:44Speaker 2: maybe just not done that. Then you wouldn't have to
- 16:46Speaker 2: worry about retribution. Not going after Biden or his family,
- 16:52Speaker 2: I guess was part of Trump's speech. One of the
- 16:55Speaker 2: things that he said, weaponizing the Justice Department to go
- 17:00Speaker 2: after political opponent or go after the previous administration shouldn't happen,
- 17:05Speaker 2: and that was one of the executive orders that he
- 17:07Speaker 2: put in place. But we'll see how many of the
- 17:11Speaker 2: and he signed a lot of executive orders yesterday and
- 17:14Speaker 2: I'm sure there's plenty more to come. We'll see what
- 17:16Speaker 2: the court battles are going to be for those as
- 17:19Speaker 2: Democrats will dig in and fight, and they'll use a
- 17:21Speaker 2: lot of those George Soros judges to fight it every
- 17:24Speaker 2: bit of the way concerning immigration, concerning the border in particular.
- 17:30Speaker 2: But all of that has to play out over the
- 17:33Speaker 2: next few weeks. But the administration got off to a
- 17:36Speaker 2: good start yesterday and again just feels different, just has
- 17:40Speaker 2: a different smell in the air. There's just something different
- 17:44Speaker 2: in the air, something different in the country. It's optimism,
- 17:47Speaker 2: it's positivity, and it really does just kind of feel
- 17:52Speaker 2: like there's an adult in charge again. And I know
- 17:55Speaker 2: some people are gott to go Trump the adult compared
- 17:58Speaker 2: to old Joe. Yeah, it feels like there's an adult
- 18:03Speaker 2: in charge again. Today's show brought to you by Columbus

- 19:57Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
- 20:00Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance

- 20:37Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some

- 20:43Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
- 20:49Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
- 20:53Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
- 20:55Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
- 20:59Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
- 21:01Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
- 21:04Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
- 21:05Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
- 21:08Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
- 21:11Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
- 21:14Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
- 21:17Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, And they do
- 21:20Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty

- 21:31Speaker 2: after the break, well, are you a vegetarian and have
- 21:44Speaker 2: been one for a while, but you do sometimes like
- 21:47Speaker 2: to eat meat? You're not alone. Apparently, a new survey
- 21:53Speaker 2: found thirty eight percent of vegetarians and vegans admitted to
- 21:55Speaker 2: having a cheat meal of meat, with a third saying
- 21:59Speaker 2: that they'd eaten meat within the last six months. One
- 22:01Speaker 2: in five said they crave meat every few months. Chicken
- 22:06Speaker 2: at about sixty four percent, was the most commonly craved
- 22:09Speaker 2: meat by plant based respondents u in particular fried chicken.
- 22:14Speaker 2: I mean, who can blame you for want some fried
- 22:17Speaker 2: chicken burgers at forty one percent. Barbecue forty the second
- 22:23Speaker 2: and third most tempting meat dishes. Fifty four percent said
- 22:26Speaker 2: the smell of cooking meat was the most tempting thing
- 22:29Speaker 2: for them, followed by nostalgia at forty seven percent, pure
- 22:33Speaker 2: pressure in there third of those who had a meat
- 22:36Speaker 2: cheat keep it to themselves. It is probably a good idea.
- 22:41Speaker 2: I mean, it effectively makes you a liar when you
- 22:43Speaker 2: tell people that. I mean, I don't know. Can you
- 22:48Speaker 2: be vegan and then every now and then eat meat?
- 22:52Speaker 2: I mean, I guess, so I'm not really one to judge.
- 22:55Speaker 2: You do your thing. I say it all the time.
- 22:58Speaker 1: You be you.
- 23:00Speaker 2: I wonder if the smell of the meat cooking being
- 23:04Speaker 2: the tempting factor is part of why if you go
- 23:08Speaker 2: like to all like a vegan gathering with lots of
- 23:11Speaker 2: vegans and they don't want anybody cooking meat. Is it
- 23:14Speaker 2: just that it's tempting? Does that mean by cooking meat
- 23:18Speaker 2: around them it's disrespectful because you're trying to tempt them.
- 23:23Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know how that works. But
- 23:25Speaker 2: none of that surprises me at all. All right. Pizza lovers,
- 23:31Speaker 2: of course, have had the debate for a long time
- 23:34Speaker 2: pineapple or no pineapple on pizza. There's a pizza rea
- 23:36Speaker 2: in England saying basically it's not okay but Lupa Pizza
- 23:44Speaker 2: is the name of the company. It's in Norwich, and
- 23:46Speaker 2: they will let customers order pizza with pineapple on top,
- 23:50Speaker 2: but because they're against it, and if the customer really
- 23:52Speaker 2: wants it, it'll cost them one hundred and twenty five dollars.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Co owners Francis Wolfe says, I absolutely loathe pineap apple
- 24:00Speaker 2: on pizza. A description of the pineapple top pizza on
- 24:04Speaker 2: the menu reads, Yeah, for one hundred and twenty five
- 24:06Speaker 2: bucks you can have it, order the champagne to go
- 24:11Speaker 2: on your monster. Twenty seventeen survey by pizza ordering app
- 24:15Speaker 2: Slice found that forty six percent of Americans approved of
- 24:20Speaker 2: pineapple on pizza. Look, i'm gonna tell you right now,
- 24:23Speaker 2: I don't regularly have it. I've had it. It's not bad.
- 24:28Speaker 2: I'm just being honest with you. I once actually ordered
- 24:31Speaker 2: a calzone and what I ordered with my calzone was
- 24:37Speaker 2: pepperoni and ham in the calzone. What I got was
- 24:42Speaker 2: pineapple and ham in the cowzone. And they said, I
- 24:45Speaker 2: thought you said pineapple, but you said pepperoni. I'm sorry,
- 24:48Speaker 2: and I was like, be honest with you. It's kind
- 24:51Speaker 2: of good and I ate it. So it's that combination
- 24:55Speaker 2: when you put the ham in there. It works anyway.
- 24:58Speaker 2: I don't know that I've eaten it, but I'm just
- 25:01Speaker 2: telling you it's I'm on that side where I kind
- 25:04Speaker 2: of get it. I don't necessarily want it, but I
- 25:10Speaker 2: get it, you know, just saying it seems that gen
- 25:14Speaker 2: Z homeowners are feeling seventies vibes. Big and bold is
- 25:17Speaker 2: taking the place of the minimalist look that millennials once favored.
- 25:23Speaker 2: According to a new survey, what's in for gen Z
- 25:27Speaker 2: decorps wallpaper, stained glass windows, wood paneling, bojo style animal prints,
- 25:34Speaker 2: and the whole farmhouse chic look is out for them.
- 25:39Speaker 2: So we're in the middle of cold and flu season.
- 25:42Speaker 2: The prescription for many sick Americans. They love to have
- 25:46Speaker 2: chicken soup. Who doesn't. No one currently in my household
- 25:52Speaker 2: is sick. But because of the weather this week, we have,
- 25:56Speaker 2: you know, chicken soup on the menu just because it's
- 26:00Speaker 2: I don't know, it's warming, it makes you feel good.
- 26:01Speaker 2: It's one of those foods that has that effect on you.
- 26:06Speaker 2: But sometimes you want chicken soup and it's not available.
- 26:12Speaker 2: So the folks at Progresso, they're a soup company, you know,
- 26:16Speaker 2: a canned soup company at that, They've come up with
- 26:19Speaker 2: a solution. They've introduced soup drops. It's a chicken noodle
- 26:24Speaker 2: soup flavored cough drop that Progresso says you can it's
- 26:29Speaker 2: soup you can suck on. It's said to taste every
- 26:33Speaker 2: bit like a cup of chicken noodle soup. The soup

- 26:38Speaker 2: purchased exclusively at Progresso soup drops dot com. There you go.
