  Speaker 2: To start your day.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Monday morning, twenty seventh day of October. I'm Wes, thanks
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: for joining me. Final week of the month of October.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Got those Halloween costumes all planned out. Many Halloween parties
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: and things over this past weekend. I know a lot
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: of the clubs and things were celebrating. We have a
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Friday night of trick or treating this year. No conversations
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: or questions about where were they going to move it
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: to a different day. Don't have to worry about that
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: because it's on a convenient Friday. I hate to I
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: know I'm officially now at that age at fifty, but
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: I hate to be the you know, in my day.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: But that's kind of where we're at. You know, back
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: in my day, back in our day, for the other
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Gen xers, back in our day, you.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Just had Halloween on Halloween. It wasn't like you went,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Halloween is.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: The thirty first, but we're going to celebrate it on
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Friday or Saturday or whatever. You just had Halloween. That's
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: what you did. There was no question of you know,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: when is trick or Treating. You knew it was on Halloween,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: That's what it was. I do understand that there are
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: complications that come, and these will pop up over the
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: next you know what, two years, we're gonna get to this.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: We're gonna have the Monday night Halloween or whatever. No,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: there'll be Sunday Night Halloween. Some people aren't comfortable with that.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: And then I guess we'll get to we get the
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: leap year coming up, and that'll push it on into
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: the week That kind of helps a little bit, getting
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: it back on track for the weekends. But I don't know.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: We do this thing and I don't get a vote
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: in this. None of us really get a vote in it. It
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: just gets decided. Someone decides what night trigg or Treating
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: is going to be. But my point is this year,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: because it's on Friday and we don't have to worry
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: about it, there's no discussion about it. We didn't really
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: discuss it last year either. It was just you know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: it was on Thursday, and that was okay, Tuesday, Wednesday,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: and even Monday. It's kind of eh. They don't really
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: know what to do with it. They're confused, they don't
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: know what and then they just have.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: To try to.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: And I realize Halloween is not exactly one of those holidays.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: It's locked in for any other reason other than it's
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: just that's the day. It's not like you're going, well,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: you know, Christmas, Wo'd rather Christmas be on Saturday. We'll
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: let the twenty fifth happen on Monday, but we'll go
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: ahead and celebrate. Like you know, there's a lot of
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: reasons that you do it on the actual day. Halloween
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: not really a religious holiday. I mean really not to
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: most people. Some people maybe I don't know. We had
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: the story Friday about they were not some countries they're
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: not adopting out black cats because they don't want anybody
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: performing any kind of rituals with them.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: That was another back in my day, that's what we
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: talked about.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: They were going to do the Satanic rituals with the
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: cats on Halloween, so be careful out there. That was
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: back in my day. We had those discussions. So we
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: have that coming up, and then boom Saturday, it's November,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: and then we're just going to roll on in to
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Thanksgiving and Christmas, and then it'll be twenty twenty six, and.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: That's a big year. We know the reasons.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: It's a big year for this country's history.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: All that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: We'll have more on that, I'm sure as we roll
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: on through the year. Before we get into twenty twenty six, though,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: we'll have a couple of things worth mentioning. First of all,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: this weekend, November one, Saturday, Made of Stars Live, the
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: podcast will be doing it from Columbus State University's Coca
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Cola Space Science Center inside the Planetarium. That's what we're
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: going to do. We're gonna do a show live.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: We hope you'll join us. We hope you'll be there.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be a good time. We're gonna do a podcast.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: You can sit there and watch us. You can be
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: part of it in some way, and we hope that
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: you could be there for it. And then immediately following
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Made of Stars Live at six o'clock on Saturday at
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: seven o'clock is the Astronomy Night and that is also
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: a free event, So you get two free events for
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: the price of one which is free, and you can
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: get a chance to check out the nighttime sky stare
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: up into the telescopes into the sky with doctor Rosa
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Williams and her team. They'll tell you what you're going
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: to be looking at, get a chance to see it,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: and we'll basically just kind of a transition from one
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: event to the other. And it's all free. And it
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: is November the first All Saints Day, so there you go.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: So we look forward to seeing any of there that
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: and then of course the Nutcracker Ballet coming up really
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: almost like almost two weeks into December, and get your
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: tickets from the River Center box office or Rivercenter dot
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: org or Thecolumbus Ballet dot org. Don't get them anywhere else.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Get the tickets from the source, and in that way
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: you don't pay the up price because you don't want
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: to get ripped off. And I mentioned that again, and
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: that's coming up, So get your tickets. And I want
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: to just this past weekend, Saturday, my first chance to
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: meet this year's Paulish Chanel's that'll be dancing with me.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: We had an intense rehearsal, it was. It was intense,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: more intense for them. They obviously are, you know, much
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: more choreographed than I am. One of the fun things
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: about my role as Mother Ginger is there's a lot
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: of ad libbing. I'm kind of free to do my
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: own thing on stage. I have certain things. I have marks,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: I have to hit, places I have to be and
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: those sorts of things. But overall there's a lot of
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: freedom with what I get to do and I get
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: to play to the audience. And that's one of the
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: reasons I love the role. This is my seventh year role.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: And uh, these girls are they were working hard. They
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: were working We were all working hard, but they were
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: working hard on Saturday. As we get ready for the
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: upcoming Nutcracker in December, hope you'll join us. Go to
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Rivercenter dot org, Thecolumbus Ballet dot org and uh get
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: your tickets, secure vose tickets and join us for the
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: great tradition that is the Nutcracker Ballet. All right, I
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: want to talk to you about a couple of things now.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: This is it's been a long running conversation that we've
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: had about how you know they used to well they
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: still occasionally like to talk about it, even though there's
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: a lot there's a lot of questions that we have
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: about this great switch that happened. Everybody says that you
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: know Democrats, the Party of Slavery and the KKK, and
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: you know eugenics and play parenthood and all those fun
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: things they say that, you know, there was a point
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: where the two parties just flip flopped. Even though Democrats
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: controlled the South all the way until the nineties, but
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: somewhere along the line, apparently it flip flopped, like in Georgia.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: It just flipped.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: And then all of the Republicans that were, you know,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: the good guys if you want to talk about slavery
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: all they just all instantly became Democrats and then all
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: and they weren't in power, but once they became Democrats,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: they magically were in power, like they suddenly had the
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: ability to be in power. And then the Democrats, who were,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: you know, the pro slavery party, flipped over to Republicans
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: and just lost power immediately. And that's just what until
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: the nineties, and then the Republicans, those old Democrats supposedly
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: took over. But anyway, that's that's a whole nother conversation.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: I want to talk about the switch that's happened more recently,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: and I've been talking about this now for a few
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: months quite a bit this year, about the fact that
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: we have seen this strange sort of change that's taken
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: place between the two parties and we've had another kind
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: of event that's taken place. So I think back to
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: back in my day again, going back to you know,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: the late eighties and early nineties, around the time when
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: you know, I, you know, I became a voter at eighteen,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: and that was early nineties, and there was a point
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: for me just even when I registered to be a
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: voter and it was like, well, wait a minute, I
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: need to uh, you know, start paying attention to things.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: And at the time, I was in a private school.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: It was connected to a church, and the church would
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: often have discussions telling people how they were supposed to vote.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: This is what you're supposed to do, This is how
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: you're supposed to vote, This is you know, the our
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: what our stance is on these issues now. For our
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: particular church, it was primarily focused on specific issues like abortion.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: It was saying, look, if you would like to support life,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: these are the candidates that support that. That was really
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: more the issue then, and there have been a lot
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: of things that have changed over the years where the
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: message has been you're not supposed to do that anymore.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: You know, you could lose.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Your tax breaks and your you know, exempt status and
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: all those sorts of things, so you're not really supposed
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: to do that anymore. But that has flipped. We now
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: have churches now that are very pro left ideology, constantly
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: talking about those things. They're not specifically telling you how
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: to vote, but they're telling you things like, you know, push, push,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Everything that we've known about religion aside. Let's start with
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: politics so we can get people in the door, and
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: then we'll we'll focus on that, and then while we're
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: pushing that agenda, then we'll work in some uh, some
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: church on top of the politics. I've said many times,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: if your church is putting politics ahead of, uh, you know,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: the actual message of the faith, your church isn't doing
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: it right. And if you're putting your politics ahead of
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: your faith, you're you're not doing any of this right.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Your faith should dictate where things go.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: This.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: This shouldn't go the other way. And I know that
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of churches that are struggling with this,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: but this isn't the way that this should work.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Once upon a time, we definitely had this on the right.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: It seemed to be a little bit more.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Uh, you're you're.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Conservative because you're a Christian, you have to be and
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: this is the message. And now it really certainly seems
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: to be, well, wait a minute, we're the compassionate liberals
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: and and that's where church is. So you know, we
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: need ministers, we need you know, all of these things
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: that we're going to say to support the transmit. We
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: need to you know, cast some Catholic churches saying, wait
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: a minute, Abortion's okay. Sure, we've been historically against birth
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: control for a really long time, but we're gonna, you know,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: we're gonna support abortion. And I know not all Catholics.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: I'm just just saying in general, this is kind of
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: the way things have trended. We just had a president
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: who was Catholic, who was pro abortion, and it's a
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: weird kind of thing, isn't it. Anyway, So we've had
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: some of these flips, we've had some of these things
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: that have transitioned greatly, like I feel like just in
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: the last year or two, and we now have I've
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: said before, it used to be that it was the
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: far right, the Christian far right, evangelicals that were the
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: ones screaming about the end of the world. Now it's
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: the far left screaming about the end of the world.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: With climate change.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: You know, I just heard I just saw a clip
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: the other day of an interview that basically said, if
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: the people of New York elect a communist mayor and
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: it causes all the business owners and the people of
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: New York to leave to go to Florida.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Well they're going to all be underwater soon. Anyway.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: That was the message from the person being interviewed, not
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: the interviewer like the person who's being in it was
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: pro mom, Donnie.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: So that is now.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: The extreme religion. Those are now the people standing in
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: the street corners screaming about the end of the world.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: It's the people saying that climate is going to kill
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: us all. And that's just where we are. No mention
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: of the fact that, you know, planting more trees and
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: more vegetation could could clean things up tremendously, but tear
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: those things down and let's put up solar panels.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: But I digress. So that is.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Another area where things have changed greatly. And now this
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: is just and there's many more. I've talked about him
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: in past shows, but the most recent one I want
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: to get to it is, now we've got a candidate who, honestly,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: if the Mamdani equivalent as someone who is Clearly he
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: calls himself a democratic socialist, what he says sounds communists.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: In so many ways, Democratic socialists have been this thing
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: that the terminology to describe communists in hiding. So that's
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: what we're talking about. This is an extreme even as
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: a democratic socialist. This is an extreme, far left person.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: And remember it wasn't very long ago the extreme right
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: people were the ones that were these are dangerous people
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: because they're so far to the right. They refused to
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: be centrists. Ted Cruz was viewed as an extremist because
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: of how far right he was. And then Cruz is
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: not that far right. I mean, he's more far right
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: than some. But when you're screaming for like a centrist
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: candidate for the John mccains, who, let's be honest, was
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: left of center. But when you're screaming for that out
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: of Republicans and hoping that that's what you're going to get,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: h and you're not then offering up those you know,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: left of center Democrats or even right of center Democrats.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: If you're going to use the McCain equation, if you're
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: screaming that we have you can't have these extremists from
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: the Republicans. I mean, Mom Donnie is like way far left.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, let's acknowledge that AOC extreme far left. Bernie
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Sanders is extreme far left. The same people that we
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: recently have referred to on the right as dangerous. These
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: are dangerous extremist people.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: These are alt right.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: This is alt left, and this is now there and
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: there's no acknowledgment of it. You have some people on
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: the right that are pointing and going, wait a minute,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: look how far over there they are. But these were
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: once the people that were chastised on the right. They
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: were attacked. They're dangerous. We shouldn't acknowledge them. Here's another one,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: and this is now a result of the No Kings
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: and the Mom Donnie thing. So and I guess this
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: was in large cities where large numbers of people were
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: coming in. And I saw just a clip from Bill
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Maher's Real Time show and he was talking with his
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: panel about the fact that he saw the No King's
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: protests and that some of the news outlets, some of
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: the news agencies. First of all, we've had a couple
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: of outlets that have been showing photos that weren't they
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: were from previous years in the past, not at this
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: particular protest, and they were trying to pass off these
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: overhead shots of how big the crowds were, which were fake.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: In some cases.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: And he was saying that, yes, some of the media
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: outlets were trying to find non white people in the
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: crowds for these No Kings protests, and they were struggling
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: that they wanted pictures of non white people. Think back
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: to when there was a time when at like the
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: RNC they would want to show some non white people.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: They wanted to show Hispanic, and they wanted to show
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Black Americans. They want to show various demographics there, and
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: they were struggling sometimes to find them, and some of
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: the media outlets on the left would go out of
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: their way to make sure that they weren't showing them.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: They might cut away when the feed was showing some
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: But anyway, now it's flipped now in this particular case,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: the No Kings thing, this is not something that Black Americans,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: apparently in many of these cases were embracing. I think
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: we've had a cultural change in a lot of ways
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: in just buying into whatever the slop is that's coming
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: from the left, and it's an interesting change. It's interesting
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: that they weren't able to get I mean, how hard
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: is it They've been paying people to come to events.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: This is a regular thing now that you will pay
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: people to come to events. So how hard is it
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: to pay people to come to the events? You would
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: think now, I don't know. Maybe they were trying to
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: do these events the No Kings without paying them. I
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: don't know how that worked exactly, but to me, that's
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: another really interesting change, isn't it. Today's show brought to
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center,

• 18:35
  Speaker 3: those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,

  Speaker 3: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Maybe your cur appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: to be and you need some repair work done to
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: door to your garage door system that you can put
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: you just want a little man cavid. You'd like to
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: all the insects in They can do that for you
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
• 20:53

• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break, well,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: do you often feel.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Like you're tired all day and you can't wait to
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: go to bed, than at bedtime you get a sudden
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: burst of energy. It's totally normal, and there's a scientific
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: reason why. Sleep experts are calling it second wind, and
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: it like the Billy Joel song, and it happens when
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: you miss your natural sleep window. So at bedtime, your
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: brain sends signals that help you fall asleep. If you
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: stay up beyond that, though, and you're staring at your phone,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: your brain then flips the switch and starts sending wake
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: up signals instead. So the next time it happens to
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: you and you get that second wind, experts say what
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: you should do. Don't lie there tossing and turning. It's
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: actually better to get out of bed and reset, reading
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: a book, meditating, doing something relaxing. The goal is to
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: retrain your brain and associate bed with rest and not
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: with frustration. It is difficult, and you do end up
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: having to just get up. That's what I have to
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: do when I hit that point, I try my best
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: not to do it. I don't like to stay as
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: lie in bed and stare at my phone. I try
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: my best not to do that. I can't say that
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: I haven't done it, but it's pretty uncommon for me.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: I like to charge it, maybe in a different room
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: if possible. That also helps prevent unwanted calls or texts
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: that light up the room or whatever, because some of
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: those things will wake me up as well. DC Restaurant
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: is getting a lot of attention, and it's not just
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: for the menu, but for its no phones policy.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: There you go where.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Diners are more than happy to abide by it. In
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: this particular place, Rock Harper, the owner and chef at
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Hush Harbor, requires diners to put their phones in a
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: yonder pouch. And I guess I'm saying that right yonder
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: and then it's locked up and they're not able to
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: be unlocked until they leave the restaurant. Harper says, people
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: are like, Wow, I really enjoy being without my phone
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: and speaking with someone. People do want to be connected,
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: and they want to vibe and they want to enjoy themselves.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: In a rare event that somebody absolutely needs to use
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: their phone, they're allowed to do so, but they're asked
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: to step outside to do it.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I like this idea.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: I like it a lot, and I think you're probably
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: going to struggle to get teenagers to go in there,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: but they probably need it the most.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Remember Hamburger Helper, it's having a moment again, people citing
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: it as an economic indicator. Sales of the box meal kits,
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: which were first introduced in the early seventies seventy one
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: to be exact, jumped fourteen point five percent this year
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: as more people are looking for ways to save money.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: If you've never had Hamburger Helper, you probably have. But
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: it's basically a box of post and seasonings and then
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: you just add some kind of meat to it. With
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: beef prices at record highs, stretch meals like Hamburger Helper
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: are seeing a resurgence. So yeah, an economic indicator as
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: people are trying to navigate, especially as we get into
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: this last part of the year. I mean knocking on
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: the door in November. This is when it's going to
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: be down to cases.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: The Miami Day Sheriff's Office in Florida has unveiled a
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: driverless patrol car, complete with a three hundred and sixty
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: degree camera, drone launching capabilities, license plate readers, thermal imaging,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: and of course AI. They call it PUG. It's police
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: unmanned ground vehicle, and while it's not chasing down any
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: suspects yet, it is making appearances at community events to
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: gather feedback and test its potential.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: I can guess how that would go over.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: In my hometown, Columbus, possibly your hometown. And I just
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: know that we have, you know, speed cameras up in
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: school zones, and those are not very popular. So I
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: would imagine an unmanned police car probably not.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Going to be very.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Popular if they were to make their way here. Sam
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Adams has just released its strongest beer ever, Utopia is
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, clocking it at thirty percent alcohol content
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: and a two hundred and forty dollars price tag for
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: each twenty four point five ounce bottle. It's been aged
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: up to thirty years in barrels that once held everything
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: from Irish whiskey, cognac, and scotch. And because it's so
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: potent Utopia twenty twenty five's, it's actually illegal in fifteen states.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: And how about this.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Some brave and lucky souls in Oregon competed in the
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: West Coast Giant Pumption Pumpkin Regatta, where racers paddle hollowed
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: out pumpkins across the lake, dressed in costumes like Buddy
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: the Elf, Ted Lasso, and Shrek, among others. The event
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: was organized first back in two thousand and four. Is
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: a quarter mile race that has multiple heats, one for
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: pumpkin growers, one for event sponsors, one for local officials,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: and two for the public. Tickets are in high demand
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: anyone racing in the public. Heats are chosen with a
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: lottery system that begins each September. That'll do it for
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: this Monday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: and patrons. Thanks for listening. I'll catch you back here
• 26:40
