Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews you need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, twenty, first day of May. I'm Wes, thanks
- 0:15Speaker 2: for joining me. Let's let's talk about this prostate cancer diagnosis,
- 0:23Speaker 2: shall we. I wanted to give it a couple of
- 0:27Speaker 2: days because I didn't know if we'd get much more information.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Over a couple of days. We've gotten a little bit.
- 0:37Speaker 2: We haven't gotten a whole lot. We've gotten some. Needless
- 0:43Speaker 2: to say, there's layers to a story like this. We
- 0:48Speaker 2: got a now very recently former president to find out
- 0:53Speaker 2: that he has this cancer diagnosis, and you know, stage
- 0:58Speaker 2: four cancer. And this is the Gleason score nine, which
- 1:03Speaker 2: is I think ten is the highest you can get,
- 1:05Speaker 2: but this is up at nine to ten is like
- 1:07Speaker 2: the top score, the worst score I guess you can
- 1:11Speaker 2: get for this. So the first part of this story,
- 1:18Speaker 2: of course, is to say the reality about any person
- 1:22Speaker 2: who is diagnosed with cancer. It's horrible, the horrible thing
- 1:29Speaker 2: to find out, horrible thing to know that the fight
- 1:33Speaker 2: that is ahead of them, what they're going to be
- 1:36Speaker 2: dealing with, and obviously wishing him and his family the
- 1:41Speaker 2: best to pray for the him, for them, for you know,
- 1:46Speaker 2: anyone close to him, that just the entire family. That's
- 1:52Speaker 2: the first thing. That's the thing that we do as
- 1:55Speaker 2: human beings, people who actually care. That's the first thing
- 2:00Speaker 2: you do. The other part of this, of course, is
- 2:04Speaker 2: when it starts to get can get nasty, can get
- 2:08Speaker 2: a little ugly, we start getting into a little bit
- 2:11Speaker 2: of the politics of it. And that happened pretty quickly
- 2:18Speaker 2: with this diagnosis, with this news of this diagnosis, and
- 2:24Speaker 2: there's a lot of questions, and they're fair questions to ask.
- 2:30Speaker 2: You see, we went through this phase of people saying, well,
- 2:32Speaker 2: how long did people in the White House know that
- 2:39Speaker 2: Joe Biden had cognition problems? How long did they know
- 2:45Speaker 2: that he was struggling with some version of dementia, with
- 2:49Speaker 2: some version of lack of brain function on just regular
- 2:55Speaker 2: duties that he would need to be able to perform
- 2:58Speaker 2: and execute as President of the United States. And the
- 3:05Speaker 2: answer to that is, it's it's been a while that
- 3:11Speaker 2: those things were apparent. But we were told differently. We
- 3:15Speaker 2: were told, nope, he runs circles around everybody, he's you know,
- 3:19Speaker 2: healthier than everybody in the White House. I like the fact,
- 3:24Speaker 2: by the way, and I will fully acknowledge and I
- 3:27Speaker 2: do get this because it's completely true. The hyperbole of
- 3:33Speaker 2: President Trump is he he executes hyperbole at an elite level.
- 3:41Speaker 2: All right. Some people love it, some people hate it,
- 3:47Speaker 2: some people are somewhere kind of in the middle. You
- 3:49Speaker 2: have those moments where he says things and you say,
- 3:52Speaker 2: this is kind of funny, and then sometimes you go, huh,
- 3:54Speaker 2: come on a little bit of that going on where
- 3:57Speaker 2: he you know, bragged about his recent physical and how
- 4:00Speaker 2: he aced it and it was, you know, the best,
- 4:03Speaker 2: all all the best, everything, everything was the best for
- 4:06Speaker 2: his and you know you got that. But a lot
- 4:11Speaker 2: of hyperbole when it came to Biden and the cognition problems,
- 4:15Speaker 2: there's a lot of that. Noah, he's running circles around us.
- 4:17Speaker 2: We can't even keep up with him. Oh, I'm just
- 4:20Speaker 2: a lad of twenty three and he runs circles around
- 4:23Speaker 2: me in the White House. We'll even get in here
- 4:26Speaker 2: some of that kind of stuff. Oh, I just can't
- 4:29Speaker 2: even eat. We were walking from one part of the
- 4:33Speaker 2: White House to another and he lapped me three times.
- 4:36Speaker 2: He's just amazing. He's so fit and he's just sharp. Physically.
- 4:42Speaker 2: He's agile, he's like a gazelle. He's just amazing. And
- 4:49Speaker 2: we know that wasn't true. They were lying to us.
- 4:51Speaker 2: They were lying to us. Then it was it was hyperbole, right,
- 4:56Speaker 2: they were exaggerating it. We know that. The question becomes
- 5:00Speaker 2: how much of it was a malicious lie and how
- 5:02Speaker 2: much of it was, you know, the hyperbole. People accused
- 5:05Speaker 2: Trump of lying with his exaggerations, all right, they accuse
- 5:10Speaker 2: him of that. Sometimes it's fair to say, oh, gosh,
- 5:14Speaker 2: he's just not telling the truth. He knows that, you know,
- 5:17Speaker 2: it isn't the greatest economy ever or whatever, and you
- 5:20Speaker 2: just go, well, you know, that's just how he talks,
- 5:23Speaker 2: and it's how they talked. But it's also important when
- 5:27Speaker 2: it comes to the health of a president, when it
- 5:30Speaker 2: comes to the health of a candidate, when it comes
- 5:34Speaker 2: to asking people to renew their commitment to a candidate
- 5:42Speaker 2: for president, to say he's the president, we're going to
- 5:45Speaker 2: ask you to vote for him again, he is our candidate.
- 5:49Speaker 2: He is running for a second term. We're going to
- 5:51Speaker 2: ask you to double down. All right. Sure the economy stinks,
- 5:58Speaker 2: Sure inflation hit an all time high. Sure you are
- 6:01Speaker 2: being gashed. We saw you lying in the ditch after COVID,
- 6:07Speaker 2: struggling to get your life back together. We saw that,
- 6:11Speaker 2: We know that this pandemic absolutely destroyed businesses and family
- 6:18Speaker 2: estates and savings, and it did all these things, and
- 6:23Speaker 2: more importantly, we saw what it did to the middle class.
- 6:27Speaker 2: It just absolutely wreaked havoc. It cost people their jobs,
- 6:31Speaker 2: and in some cases, we did what we could to
- 6:34Speaker 2: exaggerate how much of an impact all of this would have, because,
- 6:39Speaker 2: by golly, we had an election to win and were
- 6:42Speaker 2: going to we were going to sacrifice a lot of people,
- 6:46Speaker 2: not necessarily lives, but we were going to sacrifice livelihoods
- 6:50Speaker 2: of a lot of people, in some cases lives, but
- 6:53Speaker 2: we were ready to sacrifice the livelihoods of people and
- 6:56Speaker 2: put people in a position where they needed more government,
- 6:58Speaker 2: they needed more help. We could say, boy, Trump was terrible,
- 7:02Speaker 2: he did a bad job. And we saw you just
- 7:05Speaker 2: lying there in the ditches and the gutters, and we said,
- 7:08Speaker 2: you know what, this is our chance that you've elected
- 7:12Speaker 2: our guy, Joe Biden, he is now president, and this
- 7:16Speaker 2: is our chance to pull you out of said gutter
- 7:19Speaker 2: and out of said ditch, and we're going to help
- 7:21Speaker 2: you out and instead they walked over and they just
- 7:24Speaker 2: put their foot right on your throat and they said,
- 7:26Speaker 2: we're going to pass some of this green stuff. We
- 7:29Speaker 2: want to pass green legislation to make it harder. We
- 7:33Speaker 2: want to make it tougher. We're going to do going
- 7:36Speaker 2: to shut down, you know, oil production, We're going to
- 7:41Speaker 2: shut down any natural gas. Anything we can do to
- 7:45Speaker 2: make things harder. Right, We're gonna put some restrictions on
- 7:50Speaker 2: shipping of things. And then suddenly prices start going up,
- 7:54Speaker 2: and we're like, that's not us, it's those greedy business owners.
- 7:59Speaker 2: They're not trying to for the fuel costs. That's what
- 8:03Speaker 2: we're importing fuel from overseas, where we're sending money to
- 8:07Speaker 2: Russia for fuel, and then they use that money that
- 8:09Speaker 2: we give them to invade Ukraine. Ignore all that, Pretend
- 8:13Speaker 2: that that's not what happened. Pretend all of those things
- 8:17Speaker 2: don't exist. We're looking at you right now, lying there
- 8:22Speaker 2: in the in the gutter and in the ditch, struggling,
- 8:24Speaker 2: trying to do anything you can to support your family
- 8:27Speaker 2: and make things right, and we're gonna put our foot
- 8:30Speaker 2: right on your throat and we're gonna say no, we're
- 8:33Speaker 2: gonna make it worse because this is the time to
- 8:36Speaker 2: do it. We have the power. We're gonna make it worse.
- 8:39Speaker 2: We're gonna do everything we can to make you struggle.
- 8:41Speaker 2: And he say, all right, well he made it worse.
- 8:44Speaker 2: And he's running for reelection. He's running for reelection. And
- 8:49Speaker 2: people said, I don't know that he's even running things?
- 8:51Speaker 2: Is he is he? Is he in charge? Is he
- 8:54Speaker 2: the president? Is he really the guy running things? And
- 8:57Speaker 2: they said, no, he's man. He is sharp. There's stories
- 9:01Speaker 2: of people calling him their zombie, our zombie president. People
- 9:04Speaker 2: working in the White House saying, that's our zombie president.
- 9:07Speaker 2: We can do whatever we want to do. Unconfirmed stories,
- 9:10Speaker 2: there've been stories. Wouldn't surprise me if that was the case,
- 9:16Speaker 2: but again unconfirmed. You hear these reports. One side's really
- 9:21Speaker 2: good at using the you know, we have an anonymous
- 9:25Speaker 2: source in the white House. The left is great with that.
- 9:27Speaker 2: They'll get somebody that said that, you know, somebody that
- 9:31Speaker 2: was in the white House somewhere near Trump, Oh, can
- 9:33Speaker 2: you believe Trump did so and so? Well, where did
- 9:35Speaker 2: you hear that? Or an anm source, some anonymous source,
- 9:39Speaker 2: very reliable, sort of getting the Trump hyperpole. But this
- 9:43Speaker 2: would be the Biden hyperpole anyway. So, uh, they said,
- 9:48Speaker 2: you know, some people, according to reports that he was
- 9:50Speaker 2: their zombie president. I think it's safe to say that
- 9:54Speaker 2: probably there was probably some people at least in Washington.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Maybe not in the White House, but there were people
- 10:00Speaker 2: in Washington and felt that way, the same kind of
- 10:03Speaker 2: mindset strategists that looked at COVID and when here's our
- 10:06Speaker 2: chance to get rid of Trump. We can work this angle.
- 10:10Speaker 2: We can make it worse, we can do everything we can,
- 10:14Speaker 2: and his final time as president to say, look how
- 10:17Speaker 2: bad things got. We'll shut everything down. We'll make it
- 10:20Speaker 2: way worse on everybody, and the jobs will go away.
- 10:24Speaker 2: And then if our guy wins, Biden wins, and then
- 10:27Speaker 2: they go, we're gonna bring those jobs back, but we're
- 10:28Speaker 2: gonna call them new jobs. Look at these jobs we created. No,
- 10:32Speaker 2: you brought back some of the jobs that were lost.
- 10:35Speaker 2: But anyway, he's healthy, he's fit, he's ready to be
- 10:39Speaker 2: president for a second term. That's what they told us.
- 10:42Speaker 2: And then now that you know they we get to
- 10:45Speaker 2: a point where he's not president anymore. He law or
- 10:48Speaker 2: he didn't lose, he stepped out because they forced him to.
- 10:51Speaker 2: But his party loses, Trump's the president, and people look
- 10:54Speaker 2: back and they say, well, how long did everybody know?
- 10:59Speaker 2: How long did they know in the White House? How
- 11:01Speaker 2: did the how long did people in Washington though? And
- 11:04Speaker 2: we're hearing more and more stories, more and more books
- 11:06Speaker 2: coming out about how it was much worse for much
- 11:09Speaker 2: longer than they would have ever suggested. And then people going,
- 11:14Speaker 2: why does it matter? Why does it matter? Why does
- 11:19Speaker 2: it matter if he was the one sign in documents
- 11:21Speaker 2: and pardons and things, why does that even matter? It happened,
- 11:24Speaker 2: it's done, Let's move on. It doesn't matter. There's people
- 11:28Speaker 2: that say that, well, what does it matter? Who cares?
- 11:32Speaker 2: And then we find out about this stage four cancer diagnosis,
- 11:36Speaker 2: prostate cancer apparently, and I saw this reported that he
- 11:41Speaker 2: had not had an actual prostate exam since twenty fourteen.
- 11:44Speaker 2: It's like, you know, it was ten years, eleven years,
- 11:47Speaker 2: you know, I guess close to eleven. So, but you know,
- 11:53Speaker 2: he had been getting tests. There's tests that they do,
- 11:58Speaker 2: you know, the PSA screenings, and they checked and they say,
- 12:03Speaker 2: you don't really do that when men are above seventy
- 12:07Speaker 2: you stopped doing that test. So was he getting tested?
- 12:11Speaker 2: I don't know, And he'd got in any proper test.
- 12:13Speaker 2: As a president and a candidate, you'd think there'd be
- 12:16Speaker 2: some sort of testing that happened. But now people are
- 12:20Speaker 2: looking back and asking the same question about the cognition issues.
- 12:24Speaker 2: When did they know? Did they know? Is it they
- 12:27Speaker 2: really just find out or have they known for a while.
- 12:30Speaker 2: And it's a fair question because up until they forced
- 12:34Speaker 2: him to drop out of the race, they were prepared
- 12:38Speaker 2: to run him in that mental state as the candidate
- 12:41Speaker 2: that was the guy until they said, oh, he did
- 12:44Speaker 2: terribly at the debate, We're going to force him out.
- 12:48Speaker 2: We're going to push him out, put him in the wheelchair,
- 12:51Speaker 2: roll him off the cliff in that visual back. Until then,
- 12:55Speaker 2: they were ready to run him as the zombie candidate.
- 12:58Speaker 2: They were ready to run him as the guy that
- 13:00Speaker 2: they could really get away with whatever they wanted. They
- 13:03Speaker 2: could do it because it's not like he's going to
- 13:05Speaker 2: put up a fight. He didn't know. They were ready
- 13:10Speaker 2: to do that. They were prepared to do that. So
- 13:16Speaker 2: were they prepared to run a candidate that had prostate cancer?
- 13:21Speaker 2: It's a fair question. Were they prepared to run him,
- 13:26Speaker 2: would it have meant he couldn't serve as president? I mean,
- 13:30Speaker 2: you can have prostate cancer and have a job. How
- 13:34Speaker 2: difficult would it be to be to do that in
- 13:36Speaker 2: your eighties? How difficult would that be when it's you know,
- 13:39Speaker 2: the hardest job in the world other than motherhood and teachers.
- 13:44Speaker 2: I'd say all that you have to say that, Yeah,
- 13:48Speaker 2: you have to if you don't military spouse. I mean,
- 13:53Speaker 2: those are all tough jobs, they really are, But you
- 13:55Speaker 2: have to say that if you don't setting yourself up
- 14:00Speaker 2: for failure. So here it is the most stressful job.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Can we say that most stressful job in the world
- 14:05Speaker 2: other than like a bomb tech you know, guy who's
- 14:10Speaker 2: inventing things with nuclear power, I would be stressful. But
- 14:15Speaker 2: here he is ready to do the job with stage
- 14:19Speaker 2: four cancer with a Gleason's score of nine. Would have
- 14:26Speaker 2: been tough, right, It would have been tough for him
- 14:30Speaker 2: to serve a second term if they knew this is
- 14:35Speaker 2: another big cover up. I mean, we're getting the information
- 14:39Speaker 2: that there was definitely signs of cover up for the
- 14:44Speaker 2: mental acuity, Right, we have those signs. Are we looking
- 14:50Speaker 2: at the same thing here? Are we looking at the
- 14:52Speaker 2: same thing with prostate cancer? Is that what we're facing
- 14:58Speaker 2: We're staring at that of Okay, maybe they knew and
- 15:00Speaker 2: they were hiding it from us. So what was the
- 15:03Speaker 2: plan for him to start serving the second term and
- 15:08Speaker 2: then have to step down thereby giving us president Harris?
- 15:14Speaker 2: Was that the plan? It's a fair question. I can't
- 15:18Speaker 2: tell you with certainty that we know that. I know
- 15:20Speaker 2: some people that have jumped to, oh yeah, that's definitely
- 15:22Speaker 2: what they were up to. It's a fair question. It's
- 15:27Speaker 2: a fair question to ask about the mental state. It's
- 15:30Speaker 2: a fair question to ask about his prostate. No, I'm
- 15:34Speaker 2: not trying to rhyme. I'm not out sharpening this. I'm
- 15:36Speaker 2: just convenient that it worked out that way. But it
- 15:41Speaker 2: is a fair question. Did they know and what were
- 15:44Speaker 2: they thinking? Did they think that maybe having him in
- 15:48Speaker 2: an advanced state of prostate cancer would make him more
- 15:52Speaker 2: of their zombie Again, no confirmations of people saying it,
- 15:57Speaker 2: but there are reports. So if he was their zombie,
- 16:00Speaker 2: if he was their zombie president, where they thinking we
- 16:04Speaker 2: can just ride this out a little longer with him,
- 16:08Speaker 2: And if they do believe which most again things point to,
- 16:14Speaker 2: they thought Harris was going to be the same because
- 16:16Speaker 2: she was a zombie vice president. I mean, it would
- 16:20Speaker 2: make sense just kind of roll things on, get him
- 16:24Speaker 2: about two years in, and then hand things off to her,
- 16:28Speaker 2: and then she'd be the first woman president, and then
- 16:32Speaker 2: she'd be running for real life. She'd have a chance
- 16:34Speaker 2: to run for two terms. Then it's a fair question,
- 16:37Speaker 2: isn't it. If they were prepared to do that, it's
- 16:43Speaker 2: pretty despicable, isn't it. Shouldn't we know that? Shouldn't we
- 16:47Speaker 2: know what's going on with his health if they're going
- 16:49Speaker 2: to run him as a candidate. Now, again we don't know.
- 16:54Speaker 2: Mixed reports on whether they knew or not, so we
- 16:58Speaker 2: don't know for certain, but if they did, it's pretty despicable.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Much like the people that were around him every day
- 17:06Speaker 2: that should have said, I don't think he's all there.
- 17:10Speaker 2: I think maybe he's not fit to be president, and
- 17:14Speaker 2: they claimed they didn't realize it, and they claimed they
- 17:16Speaker 2: didn't know it until the debate, and then there was
- 17:20Speaker 2: no hiding it anymore because it was on TV for
- 17:23Speaker 2: everybody to see in front of God and everybody also despicable,
- 17:31Speaker 2: So what was the plan? But it is a fair
- 17:35Speaker 2: question to ask, no matter what people say, because ultimately
- 17:38Speaker 2: people come back to why can they just wish him
- 17:41Speaker 2: well and pray for him. Why do they hate him
- 17:45Speaker 2: so much and want bad things? Nobody's saying that I
- 17:49Speaker 2: don't have any issues with him having prostate cancer. I
- 17:53Speaker 2: got issues with people that may have been trying to
- 17:56Speaker 2: hide it and trying to sell him as a candidate
- 18:02Speaker 2: if they knew that he had no business running for
- 18:06Speaker 2: a second term. Today's show brought to you by Columbus

- 20:41Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
- 20:44Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
- 20:46Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
- 20:51Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
- 20:53Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 20:55Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
- 20:57Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
- 21:00Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
- 21:02Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
- 21:05Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
- 21:08Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
- 21:11Speaker 2: And they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five

- 21:22Speaker 2: Morning Show. Right after the break well, Norm from Cheers,
- 21:35Speaker 2: George Went has died at the age of seventy six.
- 21:41Speaker 2: And how about this thirty two years ago, the final
- 21:46Speaker 2: episode of Cheers aired the same day that he passed away.
- 21:54Speaker 2: How about that seventy six years old? They said he
- 21:58Speaker 2: died peacefully at his Chicago home. And it's just sad, Norm,
- 22:04Speaker 2: George Went. George Went. And we show up on SNL
- 22:09Speaker 2: back in the day doing the super Fans the Bears,
- 22:14Speaker 2: George Went. Norm also underrated movie Gung Ho Him with
- 22:19Speaker 2: Michael Keaton. So all right, we've got the holiday weekend
- 22:26Speaker 2: coming up, and basically we're getting into Memorial Day weekend,
- 22:31Speaker 2: the unofficial kickoff of summer, and many of the schools
- 22:36Speaker 2: either out are about to be out over the next
- 22:39Speaker 2: few days, and basically, estimations of forty five million Americans
- 22:44Speaker 2: traveling away from home according to Triple A. Of those,
- 22:48Speaker 2: about three point six million will be flying. It's only
- 22:51Speaker 2: about a two percent increase from last year. But this
- 22:55Speaker 2: year may present new challenges and more delays and cancelations
- 22:59Speaker 2: due to FA staff shortages and equipment issues. That's why
- 23:04Speaker 2: the TSA is strongly urging travelers to arrive at the
- 23:07Speaker 2: airport a minimum of two hours before their scheduled domestic
- 23:11Speaker 2: flights and if your plans include flying into or out
- 23:15Speaker 2: of Newark. Yes, the Newark Liberty International Airport kind of
- 23:22Speaker 2: made famous by the news over the last few weeks.
- 23:27Speaker 2: They say, maybe think about going into another New York
- 23:30Speaker 2: Area airport. The AAA saying the most popular destinations for
- 23:35Speaker 2: flyers this holiday weekend will be New York, Chicago, Seattle, Orlando,
- 23:39Speaker 2: and Denver. I'm gonna say this because I was talking
- 23:41Speaker 2: to somebody recently and they were saying that had a
- 23:43Speaker 2: really bad experience about six months ago flying into Newark
- 23:47Speaker 2: to go to New York. It was always my favorite
- 23:51Speaker 2: airport flying too. I mean, I wouldn't do it now.
- 23:53Speaker 2: If I was going to New York this weekend, I
- 23:55Speaker 2: would definitely not be flying into Newark. But it's disappointing
- 24:00Speaker 2: because I really like the Newark Airport. I prefer it
- 24:03Speaker 2: to the other New York Area airports. Definitely, it's to me,
- 24:08Speaker 2: it's the way to go. Wendy's in Canada has launched
- 24:11Speaker 2: a new burger that it's an artery clogger, right, it's
- 24:16Speaker 2: a widow maker, I guess, grilled cheese cheeseburger quarter pounds
- 24:21Speaker 2: of beef with melted cheese, caramelized onions between two grilled
- 24:25Speaker 2: cheese sandwiches that are made using hamburger bonds. No word
- 24:32Speaker 2: yet about it coming to the States, but I can
- 24:37Speaker 2: tell you this. I don't think I could eat this
- 24:42Speaker 2: many times, but I could definitely try it. It definitely
- 24:46Speaker 2: looks like, you know, a Wendy's burger bond made into
- 24:53Speaker 2: a grilled cheese with a second one made into a
- 24:56Speaker 2: grilled cheese with me eat and cheese in the middle
- 25:01Speaker 2: and caramelized onions. It looks pretty darn tasty. And it's
- 25:04Speaker 2: also got mayo, as if there wasn't enough going on
- 25:07Speaker 2: calorically and cholesterolically. I don't know, I'm not a foodologist.
- 25:15Speaker 2: You throw in the mayo in the mix of all
- 25:17Speaker 2: that too, But I would eat it. I'm just telling
- 25:20Speaker 2: you right now, I would definitely eat one. I don't
- 25:24Speaker 2: know that I could eat more than one, but I
- 25:27Speaker 2: would definitely give it a try. All Right. Memorial Day weekend,
- 25:32Speaker 2: of course, means a lot of things, most importantly what
- 25:36Speaker 2: Memorial Day is for, but it's also kind of the
- 25:40Speaker 2: unofficial start of summer. As we said, it's also the
- 25:43Speaker 2: beginning of grilling season. And just remember there's other things
- 25:51Speaker 2: that you can grill besides meat. And I'm not talking
- 25:56Speaker 2: about vegetables because some people are fruit. My wife likes
- 25:59Speaker 2: the grill pineapple. I mean, it works, I get it,
- 26:03Speaker 2: But that's not what we're talking about here. No, no, no,
- 26:07Speaker 2: As people are starting to discuss the grilling of Twinkies, yeah,
- 26:16Speaker 2: saying that if you're having an organized party with grilling,
- 26:22Speaker 2: just think about cracking open the Twinkies and throwing them
- 26:25Speaker 2: on the grill. Basically, they say that the fire does
- 26:31Speaker 2: great things to the ultra process that cake, caramelizing the
- 26:37Speaker 2: outside of the cake, making the cream filling a little
- 26:40Speaker 2: meltier and gooier, and saying you can enjoy grill twinkies
- 26:46Speaker 2: on its own, or you can put it on a
- 26:48Speaker 2: plate at some ice cream, chocolate syrup, those kinds of things. Again,
- 26:53Speaker 2: this is a high calorie episode. We're hitting the calories
- 26:57Speaker 2: from every angle today. But it's maybe something that could
- 26:59Speaker 2: be useful for you as you plan your weekend. All right,
- 27:03Speaker 2: that'll do it for this Wednesday edition of the show.
