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,
0:10
Speaker 1: Monday morning.
0:11
Speaker 2: Nineteenth day of May. I am Wes. Thanks for joining me.
0:18
Speaker 2: This is one of those shows where I got a
0:20
Speaker 2: couple of things that I want to talk about. Two
0:24
Speaker 2: different topics. One of them, obviously, has been very prominent
0:29
Speaker 2: in the news for a couple of days, probably more
0:32
Speaker 2: on the conservative news sides, the conservative news stations. On
0:37
Speaker 2: that side of things, I don't know how much the
0:39
Speaker 2: left is really talking about it. The other one the
0:43
Speaker 2: left is talking about and I've just got questions that
0:47
Speaker 2: I just I don't understand about that story. The first
0:52
Speaker 2: one that well, before I get to that, let me
0:54
Speaker 2: just mention this because I didn't say it Friday, but
0:58
Speaker 2: yesterday my bride's birthday. And if you are listening and
1:05
Speaker 2: you happened to see Jill over the course of the
1:09
Speaker 2: day today, you know you could tell her heypy, happy birthday, Weston,
1:14
Speaker 2: tell us about it until today. I'm sorry, but it
1:17
Speaker 2: was over the weekend. It was yesterday, on the eighteenth,
1:19
Speaker 2: So I wanted to mention that because I didn't mention
1:21
Speaker 2: it on Friday. Now, let's get to a couple of stories.
1:26
Speaker 2: First off, Jim Comey in the eighty six forty seven,
1:31
Speaker 2: I think this is it's one of those stories where
1:36
Speaker 2: it's hard to know what the intention is, and I
1:38
Speaker 2: know the knee jerk from a lot of people on
1:40
Speaker 2: the right was to just assume that he knew what
1:44
Speaker 2: he was saying and that he was calling for the
1:49
Speaker 2: assassination of Donald Trump. So a few things, and I'm
1:55
Speaker 2: gonna just very cautiously, very conservatively played devil's ad get
2:01
Speaker 2: advocate for a minute and just say that maybe, just maybe,
2:05
Speaker 2: And I know he's had a visit from the Secret Service.
2:09
Speaker 2: I know there's questions about whether or not he should
2:12
Speaker 2: be prosecuted for posting that on social media. Now, the
2:15
Speaker 2: story is that he walked up on this. It was
2:18
Speaker 2: on the beach. Someone had spelled it out with seashells
2:21
Speaker 2: and it said eighty six forty seven in seashells. That
2:24
Speaker 2: was just something that someone had put out and he
2:29
Speaker 2: took a picture of it and shared it, and that's
2:32
Speaker 2: where all things kind of got out of hand. Now
2:34
Speaker 2: that's the kind of thing that maybe you would walk
2:37
Speaker 2: up on, maybe you'd see it as graffiti somewhere. If
2:42
Speaker 2: I saw it somewhere, I would definitely And if I
2:46
Speaker 2: saw eighty six forty six about Joe Biden, I would
2:50
Speaker 2: not appreciate that. I would not appreciate that about any president,
2:54
Speaker 2: no matter who I voted for or didn't vote for,
2:58
Speaker 2: I would just say, look, this is not okay. There's
3:01
Speaker 2: nothing okay about this as a message in a society,
3:07
Speaker 2: in a world, in a time where we did have
3:09
Speaker 2: you know, multiple people tried to assassinate the then candidate
3:14
Speaker 2: now president of the United States, and seeing this message posted,
3:18
Speaker 2: and we know the dangers that are there because we're
3:21
Speaker 2: in this society now where people call for him to
3:25
Speaker 2: be assassinated. We talk a lot about January sixth, then
3:30
Speaker 2: we talk about, oh man, they were you know, this
3:34
Speaker 2: insurrection that they tried to do inside the Capitol Building.
3:37
Speaker 2: They went inside and you know, sat in people's desks,
3:42
Speaker 2: you know, insurrection. That was craziness. Boy, it was crazy.
3:48
Speaker 2: Very little talk, very little conversation about the time when
3:53
Speaker 2: people actually tried to get into the White House while
3:56
Speaker 2: Donald Trump was inside the White House in his first term,
4:00
Speaker 2: because they wanted to drag him out by his orange
4:04
Speaker 2: hair and kill him. On the lawn, which I would
4:07
Speaker 2: have said would would qualify as insurrection. I think that
4:11
Speaker 2: qualifies more as insurrection than a guy, you know, wearing
4:16
Speaker 2: a monkey suit or whatever. That guy was wearing a
4:19
Speaker 2: deer antlers or something, going in and taking pictures, you know,
4:25
Speaker 2: inside the Capitol building. But I digress. I'm not certainly
4:29
Speaker 2: not dismissing what happened on January sixth, or how bad
4:34
Speaker 2: it could have been, needless to say, we know how
4:37
Speaker 2: bad it could have been now if you simply just
4:40
Speaker 2: watch season two of and Or on Disney Plus. I
4:45
Speaker 2: think that lays out a very great example of how
4:48
Speaker 2: a government in power, or how a government with some
4:52
Speaker 2: authority can use useful idiots to create a make a
4:59
Speaker 2: bad situation and then you know, use use it as
5:05
Speaker 2: grounds for seizing power. So anyway, I digress. We know
5:14
Speaker 2: there were people that tried to drag the president out
5:16
Speaker 2: by his hair and kill him on the lawn. There
5:19
Speaker 2: were you know, jokes, comedians that you know, posted pictures
5:24
Speaker 2: of decapitated masks of Trump and said, ha ha, you know,
5:27
Speaker 2: this is what we need to do, and somehow that
5:29
Speaker 2: was supposed to be funny. But Kathy Griffin certainly paid
5:32
Speaker 2: the consequences for her free speech faux pas, disgusting joke.
5:41
Speaker 2: I guess it was supposed to be so in a
5:44
Speaker 2: time where we've had people that have you know, and
5:47
Speaker 2: someone almost did killed Donald Trump Butler Pennsylvania. We know
5:51
Speaker 2: how close it came, we know how close it was.
5:54
Speaker 2: So for the guy who used to run the FBI
5:58
Speaker 2: to not know what eighty six means that concerns me.
6:01
Speaker 2: I can play devil's advocate and say maybe he didn't know,
6:05
Speaker 2: Maybe he didn't understand and he just thought eighty six
6:08
Speaker 2: meant get him out of here. I don't know, but
6:13
Speaker 2: it does bother me that someone got to the position
6:16
Speaker 2: of head of the FBI and didn't know that eighty
6:20
Speaker 2: six is a common expression for killing somebody. That concerns me.
6:27
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm willing to give him the benefit of
6:29
Speaker 2: the doubt that maybe he didn't know, but I have
6:33
Speaker 2: a significant problem with the idea that he didn't know
6:36
Speaker 2: that that's what it meant, and that people don't seem
6:38
Speaker 2: to think it's weird that he didn't know. According to him, now,
6:42
Speaker 2: that's the only defense he's got for what he did,
6:44
Speaker 2: and it's really indefensive. Well, you can't post that. Sometimes
6:48
Speaker 2: you walk past something, maybe you should just leave it alone.
6:50
Speaker 2: You don't have to take a picture of it and
6:52
Speaker 2: share it on social media. And honestly, he certainly has
6:56
Speaker 2: his free speech rights. He's got his free expression rights.
7:00
Speaker 2: Grown ass man that used to be in charge of
7:03
Speaker 2: the FBI. Why are you on social media anyway? What
7:06
Speaker 2: are we doing? I get it. The rest of us
7:09
Speaker 2: get on there and we post things and we share things,
7:12
Speaker 2: and you know, we try to behave ourselves. What is
7:16
Speaker 2: what is he doing? What is this? You know he
7:18
Speaker 2: doesn't like Trump. He hates Trump. We've established he's not
7:22
Speaker 2: helping his credibility with any of the things that happened
7:24
Speaker 2: with Trump in the past. He's just making himself look
7:27
Speaker 2: even more like a partisan idiot and really an idiot
7:32
Speaker 2: if he didn't know that eighty six means kill. Okay,
7:36
Speaker 2: all right, there's that. The other thing, and this is
7:39
Speaker 2: one I'm just I've got to ask questions because I
7:42
Speaker 2: don't fully understand this at all, And there's got to
7:46
Speaker 2: be more to the story that I'm just not seeing
7:49
Speaker 2: in places. And this is a Georgia story. This is
7:54
Speaker 2: the story of a woman who was declared braindead in
8:03
Speaker 2: the state of Georgia, and it was two months pregnant
8:08
Speaker 2: at the time and has been kept on life support
8:12
Speaker 2: to try to save the life of the baby. Relatives
8:18
Speaker 2: say that she went in for care and she had
8:22
Speaker 2: headaches and they weren't able to, you know, I guess
8:27
Speaker 2: figure out exactly what it was before she was found unresponsive.
8:31
Speaker 2: And the family is taking care of this woman's seven
8:38
Speaker 2: year old and some of the family has said that
8:41
Speaker 2: they should be able to go ahead and end her life,
8:45
Speaker 2: take her off the machine. And this goes back I
8:49
Speaker 2: guess to early February, and that's when the headaches started.
8:56
Speaker 2: So there are people that are saying that in spite
9:00
Speaker 2: of the fact that there's a child whose life is
9:04
Speaker 2: at stake here and this woman's life is effectively like
9:09
Speaker 2: she's brain dead. Adriana Smith is her name, and people,
9:18
Speaker 2: in some cases, I think even family, immediate family, are
9:21
Speaker 2: saying they should just be able to go ahead and
9:23
Speaker 2: turn off the machine and effectively in the life of
9:26
Speaker 2: the child, and they're calling for the end. That's saying
9:32
Speaker 2: this is the dangers of George's abortion laws, right. They're
9:38
Speaker 2: saying this is the state's heartbeat law, and that the
9:41
Speaker 2: family doesn't get to have decisions about the you know,
9:45
Speaker 2: a medical decision making rights. I don't understand. I don't
9:52
Speaker 2: get it. We're talking about a woman who her her
9:57
Speaker 2: life is over. If they turn off the machines, she's
9:59
Speaker 2: she's going to die, and that's what they're calling for
10:02
Speaker 2: the ability to do that. But there's still a life
10:06
Speaker 2: that can be saved. Abortion law or not, this do
10:12
Speaker 2: no harm aspect of things for doctors should come into play, right.
10:16
Speaker 2: I'm not a doctor. I don't think that should come
10:18
Speaker 2: as a shock to you. And it's amazing to me
10:20
Speaker 2: that I've said this in the last week on more
10:24
Speaker 2: than one occasion, less than a week. It's been like
10:26
Speaker 2: five days, and I've said this like three times to people.
10:29
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you openly, I'm not a doctor. I
10:32
Speaker 2: have no medical training whatsoever. I could maybe do a
10:36
Speaker 2: Heimlich maybe. I mean, I know what you're supposed to do.
10:40
Speaker 2: I know the things that you're supposed to do for CPR,
10:43
Speaker 2: they ever had to do it, thankfully. That's about it.
10:46
Speaker 2: I get to pull a tick out of you. I
10:48
Speaker 2: can do that. You got a tick, I can pull
10:50
Speaker 2: it out. Done that before. It's not fun, it's gross.
10:54
Speaker 2: I can do it though I've done you know, the dad,
10:58
Speaker 2: a bandaging of people, the husband, bandaging of people. I've
11:02
Speaker 2: done all that. I've even done the child of parent
11:06
Speaker 2: that needed to be bandaged. I've done that. I had
11:09
Speaker 2: to do that for my mom before you know, you
11:11
Speaker 2: do it. I had to take care of a number
11:14
Speaker 2: of people that have been sick. You do it, not
11:17
Speaker 2: a doctor. But I do know they have this thing
11:20
Speaker 2: about doing no harm. And if there's a woman who
11:23
Speaker 2: is effectively deceased, other than keeping her body alive as
11:29
Speaker 2: a place for this baby to try to be eventually delivered,
11:39
Speaker 2: taken out of the womb and given a chance to survive,
11:42
Speaker 2: I don't understand. I don't get it. There's people that
11:45
Speaker 2: are outright horrified. I can't believe. And that's ultimately the
11:50
Speaker 2: best answer I've got for this is this is just
11:54
Speaker 2: an effective way for them to justify shaking their fist
11:58
Speaker 2: and being angry at the heartbeat law. That's all I
12:01
Speaker 2: could come up with. I got nothing else. I can't understand.
12:04
Speaker 2: Why would you allow this is one of the last
12:08
Speaker 2: things that you can have from this mother. This is
12:14
Speaker 2: a baby that could have an opportunity for life, and
12:19
Speaker 2: someone in the family could take care of this child.
12:21
Speaker 2: Now if they don't want the child, which it sounds
12:23
Speaker 2: like some of them don't, there would be options as
12:27
Speaker 2: well for adoption. There are people that would love to
12:29
Speaker 2: take care of this child. They're always people waiting and
12:34
Speaker 2: anxious to take care of a child. Now, I guess
12:39
Speaker 2: I just need someone to explain to me how you
12:41
Speaker 2: could justify saying this, because if you say, well, okay,
12:45
Speaker 2: if it's a case of a rape or incest and
12:47
Speaker 2: they want to have abortion, you can make that case.
12:51
Speaker 2: I don't think you're gonna win over everybody who's pro
12:55
Speaker 2: life with that argument, but you'll win over more people
13:00
Speaker 2: with that argument than you will with this woman isn't
13:03
Speaker 2: getting a choice about delivering this baby or not. She's
13:07
Speaker 2: not been given that choice, and that seems to be
13:10
Speaker 2: the argument. Or the family really wants to go ahead
13:14
Speaker 2: and end her life sooner so that they can move
13:16
Speaker 2: forward and begin funeral, Like you can't put off a
13:20
Speaker 2: funeral for a baby to be born. I don't understand
13:24
Speaker 2: that if you want to say the argument that gets said, well,
13:28
Speaker 2: to save the life of the mother, an abortion should happen.
13:33
Speaker 2: And I think there are a number of even pro
13:37
Speaker 2: life people who would say, yeah, I see where you're
13:39
Speaker 2: coming from on that. There's some that won't. They'll say, no,
13:44
Speaker 2: you have to do everything you can to save them both.
13:48
Speaker 2: But there'll be some that will be sympathetic to your cause.
13:52
Speaker 2: If you say, hey, let's end a pregnancy to save
13:56
Speaker 2: the life of a mother. I know people who've been
13:58
Speaker 2: down that road. I know people who have that experience.
14:03
Speaker 2: I know people who are alive because a pregnancy was
14:07
Speaker 2: terminated to save their life. I know people that have
14:12
Speaker 2: experienced that. I'm glad they're still with us. I don't
14:17
Speaker 2: know any of the specifics behind the case, other than
14:23
Speaker 2: I can say that's the reason that that decision had
14:25
Speaker 2: to be made. And you're gonna say, well, that would
14:30
Speaker 2: be a reason you want to end a life just
14:35
Speaker 2: because you can, is what it sounds like in this case. See,
14:40
Speaker 2: ending this baby's life isn't going to save the mother.
14:44
Speaker 2: Ending this life of this baby is just going to
14:50
Speaker 2: happen when they end the life of the mother and
14:52
Speaker 2: they're I guess fighting for that, fighting hard to be
14:58
Speaker 2: able to do that. I guess declared brain dead on
15:02
Speaker 2: February nineteenth, so we're three months. This has been going
15:07
Speaker 2: on and she was two months pregnant. I guess when
15:09
Speaker 2: all this started. So there's a few more months to
15:11
Speaker 2: go before they can get to a point where they
15:12
Speaker 2: can deliver this baby. It's got to be tough on
15:16
Speaker 2: the family. It's got to be hard. I think that
15:19
Speaker 2: everybody should take twenty steps back. This is a very
15:27
Speaker 2: unique case. But one of the things that has people
15:31
Speaker 2: so worked up is apparently this scenario in some weird
15:35
Speaker 2: way played out on the show Handmaid's Tale. I've never
15:39
Speaker 2: watched it. I don't want to watch a propaganda show,
15:45
Speaker 2: and that's what it is. I mean, I get that
15:47
Speaker 2: it's very popular and a lot of people have watched
15:50
Speaker 2: it and they get horrified and they say, oh, we
15:52
Speaker 2: need women's rights and we need abortion rights and all
15:55
Speaker 2: that based on this fictional TV show. But I've seen
15:59
Speaker 2: people hosting this is just like in that episode of
16:02
Speaker 2: The Handmaid's Tale. This is how it played out. Now.
16:05
Speaker 2: I think in that particular episode there was some dynamic
16:09
Speaker 2: about race and things that played out with it. I
16:12
Speaker 2: don't know. That doesn't matter to me. It was a
16:15
Speaker 2: story in a TV show, And I'm telling you now,
16:19
Speaker 2: if there's something to this case that I don't get
16:21
Speaker 2: I'd love for someone to explain it to me where
16:23
Speaker 2: it makes sense, because it doesn't. It doesn't make any
16:25
Speaker 2: sense at all for me. What's happening? What is the
16:30
Speaker 2: justification for wanting to end this pregnancy. So they're saying
16:37
Speaker 2: that this is a woman who's twenty one weeks pregnant
16:40
Speaker 2: now apparently, or twenty one twenty two, somewhere in that range,
16:44
Speaker 2: and they say that, you know, they want to get
16:50
Speaker 2: as far into this as they can before they want
16:53
Speaker 2: to deliver this baby. And I get that. I don't
16:58
Speaker 2: get wanting to end this this woman's life who's on
17:02
Speaker 2: basically a machine, just so that they can end the
17:06
Speaker 2: life of this baby. If they can save the baby.
17:09
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't they save the baby? What am I missing?
17:14
Speaker 2: In strong reaction? I mean people that are upset. You've
17:16
Speaker 2: got civil rights activists, pro choice people, politicians, people have
17:22
Speaker 2: jumped in on this, angry, sending messages to the Attorney general.
17:31
Speaker 2: They want to know why this woman's life can't be ended.
17:35
Speaker 2: Why can't they kill this woman who's already effectively dead,
17:39
Speaker 2: she's brained dead, so that they can end the life
17:45
Speaker 2: of this baby. Posts on a Reproductive Freedom Caucus. This
17:50
Speaker 2: is the cruelty of abortion bands on full display. This
17:53
Speaker 2: is not pro woman, pro life, pro family, This is inhumanity,
17:58
Speaker 2: Audreanna Smith, we fight for you, are they? What is
18:07
Speaker 2: the has this woman said was her dying wish that
18:10
Speaker 2: she wanted the termination ended? I mean, I guess that's
18:14
Speaker 2: what I want to know. What am I missing? What
18:18
Speaker 2: exactly am I missing? I'd love an explanation, if you know.
18:22
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear from you. I like some understanding
18:26
Speaker 2: of why waiting. I don't know ten twelve more weeks,
18:32
Speaker 2: thirteen more weeks. I understand it's tough on the family.
18:36
Speaker 2: I understand it's not ideal. I get that. But if
18:40
Speaker 2: they can save the life of this child, if they can,
18:44
Speaker 2: by being patient do that and save this part of
18:48
Speaker 2: their daughter or their cousin or their sister or whatever
18:52
Speaker 2: the relationship is, they can save this very and I
18:57
Speaker 2: say small, but really could end up being a huge
19:00
Speaker 2: part of their life moving forward. I'm just confused. I'll
19:05
Speaker 2: be honest, I don't get it. Many times we have
19:08
Speaker 2: stories and like I say, I can hear both sides
19:10
Speaker 2: of it and go well, I can see some points.
19:13
Speaker 2: I don't understand the benefit of ending this woman's life
19:16
Speaker 2: and killing this baby. I don't get it. I don't
19:18
Speaker 2: understand not at all. Today's show brought to you by
19:22
Speaker 2: Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center. Where As

20:26
Speaker 2: fun stuff just waiting for you there, but actual NASA artifacts,
20:31
Speaker 2: parts of actual spacecraft that have been to space or

Speaker 2: launching things into space. And you can check all of
20:41

20:58
Speaker 2: is what that stands forssc dot org. Today's show brought
21:03
Speaker 2: to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all
21:06
Speaker 2: of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you
21:11
Speaker 2: have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good
21:15
Speaker 2: to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move
21:18
Speaker 2: and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of
21:22
Speaker 2: Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you,
21:25
Speaker 2: and while they're there, you can always ask them questions
21:28
Speaker 2: about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to
21:30
Speaker 2: make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't
21:34
Speaker 2: quite what you want it to be and you need
21:36
Speaker 2: some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you
21:39
Speaker 2: need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making
21:43
Speaker 2: a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe
21:46
Speaker 2: it's some sort of installation issue that you've got. With
21:49
Speaker 2: colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and
21:52
Speaker 2: it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd
21:55
Speaker 2: like to add a screen door to your garage door
21:58
Speaker 2: system that you can put down and you can use
22:00
Speaker 2: your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
22:05
Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
22:07
Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
22:09
Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
22:11
Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
22:14
Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
22:16
Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
22:19
Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
22:22
Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
22:25
Speaker 2: And they do those as well. Seven oh six three

22:36
Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show. Right after the break well, there's a
22:47
Speaker 2: lot of talk about AI taking away jobs, automation taking
22:52
Speaker 2: away jobs. This is a job that is going away
22:58
Speaker 2: for slightly different reason, and it's the insurance inspector. Think
23:06
Speaker 2: back to the days when someone had to come to
23:09
Speaker 2: your house to actually look around, look at some of
23:12
Speaker 2: the damage that was there, make notes about it. I
23:16
Speaker 2: remember we had once we had a situation where something
23:18
Speaker 2: fell on our roof and they had to come and
23:20
Speaker 2: bring their ladders and they went around on the roof
23:22
Speaker 2: and it was you know, I'm like, I'm glad that
23:25
Speaker 2: they were able to get me at the door before
23:27
Speaker 2: I started hearing clumping around on the roof. Well, that job,
23:31
Speaker 2: apparently it could become a thing of the past, and
23:33
Speaker 2: in some cases I guess it has, and it's because
23:36
Speaker 2: of drones. So basically, drones are giving insurance companies an
23:43
Speaker 2: easier way to inspect your roof or look at undeclared
23:47
Speaker 2: additions to your yard like a deck or a pool,
23:50
Speaker 2: and if they find something that wasn't in your original writer,
23:53
Speaker 2: you could get a notice that your rates going up. Now,
23:55
Speaker 2: this is for cases on to benefit them, not necessarily.
24:00
Speaker 2: I guess these inspections about seeing damage in things, which
24:03
Speaker 2: of course would apply to it as well, or if
24:06
Speaker 2: you have not informed them about one of these additions
24:11
Speaker 2: you could get dropped all together. And yes, it's legal
24:17
Speaker 2: in most places. So if you see a drone flying
24:20
Speaker 2: over your house, may not just be someone in your neighborhood,
24:24
Speaker 2: maybe an insurance company. Now, other cases that maybe this
24:29
Speaker 2: would not necessarily apply to you is if you'll live
24:31
Speaker 2: near an airport or any area that drones aren't allowed
24:35
Speaker 2: to fly. So maybe keep that in mind if you're
24:38
Speaker 2: keeping anything secret from the And I'm not encouraging you
24:41
Speaker 2: to do that, I'm just telling you that they may
24:44
Speaker 2: be checking things out without you ever knowing that they
24:48
Speaker 2: were there at all. All Right, there's a game that's
24:51
Speaker 2: floating around on social media and it's called the Poisoned
24:55
Speaker 2: Skittles Game. Not exactly what it sounds like, but it
25:00
Speaker 2: does sound like a version of a game that one
25:03
Speaker 2: of my friends and I used to play like in
25:04
Speaker 2: middle school in high school, and I've played it with
25:09
Speaker 2: my kids. I've played it with my wife and it
25:11
Speaker 2: was but we do a version of this. It's not
25:14
Speaker 2: so much a poison one, but it's one where you
25:18
Speaker 2: are trying to read the other person's mind. But in
25:22
Speaker 2: the Poison Skittles game, no, no one's actually eating poison. Basically,
25:29
Speaker 2: you put some kind of candy eminem Skittles, whatever that
25:32
Speaker 2: you have a bunch of a bag of on a
25:33
Speaker 2: table and then you basically identify one as poison, and
25:39
Speaker 2: then they identify one themselves as poison, and then you
25:43
Speaker 2: take turns eating one piece of candy at a time.
25:48
Speaker 2: You pick one other than the poison one, and your
25:50
Speaker 2: friend tells you that you're safe, and then you keep
25:52
Speaker 2: going till someone eats the poison candy and that makes
25:55
Speaker 2: the other person the winter. And this is something that
25:58
Speaker 2: people are doing on social media like TikTok and Instagram
26:02
Speaker 2: and people are watching them play it. The mind reader
26:06
Speaker 2: game is very similar. It's just you know, they try
26:10
Speaker 2: to figure out which one you were thinking and then
26:12
Speaker 2: if they don't get it, then you eat that one.
26:15
Speaker 2: So they pick one and eat it and then you say, no,
26:17
Speaker 2: this is the one I was thinking, and then you
26:19
Speaker 2: have to pick a different one each time. That's the
26:22
Speaker 2: way our version work. But anyway, it's a similar game,
26:24
Speaker 2: and you know something to do to kill time, especially
26:27
Speaker 2: like you know, you can do it on an airplane
26:30
Speaker 2: without the turbulence, but anywhere that you have to sit
26:33
Speaker 2: for a long period of time and you're trying to
26:35
Speaker 2: share a snack. It works fries. It works with fries.
26:37
Speaker 2: I did with my kids many times with fries. So
26:40
Speaker 2: let's talk alligators. Alligators are starting to migrate northward. Twenty nineteen,
26:47
Speaker 2: a gator was spotted near Raleigh, North Carolina. What would
26:51
Speaker 2: Andy Taylor think about that? In twenty twenty one was
26:55
Speaker 2: spotted in Tennessee's Wolf River. There've been reports of alligators
26:59
Speaker 2: living in the Great Dismal Swamp south of the Virginia border,
27:03
Speaker 2: right in North Carolina. Experts suggesting that human development is
27:09
Speaker 2: part of the problem. Reservoirs, man made lakes, and storm
27:12
Speaker 2: retention ponds tend to be warmer than natural bodies of water,
27:16
Speaker 2: and they say by twenty seventy, alligators could be living
27:19
Speaker 2: as far north as the Delaware Bay. Yikes, and with
27:24
Speaker 2: a lack of super predators in the mid Atlantic, this
27:27
Speaker 2: could really upset the ecosystem in ways that scientists can't
27:30
Speaker 2: predict yet. So yeah, be aware of the possibility of
27:36
Speaker 2: alligators migrating more and more north, especially if you live
27:40
Speaker 2: in Delaware. Maybe make plans to move more inland. I
27:44
Speaker 2: don't know. By twenty seventy, you got a little time
27:46
Speaker 2: we're giving you the early heads up on this. That'll
27:49
Speaker 2: do it for this Monday edition of the show. Thanks
