  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, fourth day of June. I'm West Thanks for
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: joining me. Getting a little bit more insight. I don't
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: know that we have the full perspective on things. As
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: far as Elon Musk's slightly early departure from the head
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: of DOGE, there were some speculations whether or not he
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: was frustrated with some things, and that perhaps that was
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: what was going on. You know, the routine on this
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: anytime anyone close to the president does something, there's a
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: speculation it must be something going on, there must be
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: some conflict. What did Donald Trump do to upset them all?
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Those kinds of questions get asked.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: And we do kind of now know, oh, based on
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: you know, words from the man himself. Elon Musk has
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: posted on x that basically, this massive, outrageous Portfield Congressional
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: voted for it. You know you did wrong, you know it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: He has been outwardly critical of the big beautiful bill,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: and the White House has said, look, we knew that
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: he was not in favor of it. He didn't like it.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: There's a handful of Republicans obviously that are it seemed
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: to be in the Kentucky area and others, but that
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: seems to be where a lot of the resistance comes
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: from from time to time, at least when it comes to.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: It's Kentucky. Kentucky.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's a couple guys in Kentucky that
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: like to ask questions, and that's that. There are fair
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: questions to ask. But it's one of the great things
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: that's different about the or historically, at least for the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: past many years, has been the case with Republicans. As
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: they have a variance of opinions on things, you can
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: have conversation and discussion. Yes, it makes things hard to
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: get things done. Sometimes there's this grinding to a halt
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: in some situations where you think, hey, we have some
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: momentum on something, maybe they can get something done, and
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: then a couple of people, you know, can cause enough
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: of a slow down to not let things happen. Yes,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: there was a slowdown of sorts with Democrats early on
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: in the Biden administration where we had you know, mansion
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: and cinema or standing up to some of the spending
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: and some of the Green New Deal aspects of things.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: But eventually that stuff gets through, and that's what happens.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I think the fact that Musk has now express this
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: after stepping down from DOGE maybe gives us some indication
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: as to where his head is on all of this.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: It's not a surprise. He just did so much work
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to cut spending. So of course, if you've been cleaning,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: let me just take you through this scenario. Okay, I
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: can remember when I was a kid, right, Both of
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: my parents worked when I was a kid, So you
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: had those days where was the weekend, and that was
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the day that our mom would do a lot of
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: cleaning around the house, and you know, just working hard,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: just every aspect, wanting to get every nook and cranny
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: clean in the whole house. And then the first thing
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: that you do is and while she's cleaning, she's like,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: you nice guys, need to get outside because you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I'm a gen X kid, and when gen X kids
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: were growing up, we were told to get out of
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the house because you didn't just you know, stare at
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: screens all the time. Yes, video games became a thing.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: They usually involved quarters in the early stages. Eventually they
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: involved you know, the gaming system at home that wasn't
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: quite the same game as what you played when you
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: paid the quarters for it, but it was close enough.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: That it made us happy.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: But my point is in Gen X, we were told
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: get out of the house, and we did, and you know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: mom would clean. And then what happens when you come
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: back home at night, the street lights come on, it
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: gets dark, you come back in the house, and you
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: track all through the house and you make it all
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: disgusting again. I think that's kind of a metaphor for
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: maybe how Elon's feeling. And I haven't spoken to him,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: of course, but maybe that's an insight of some kind
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: into some frustrations on why he would maybe leave those
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: a little early, right around the time this bill's making
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: its way around.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Anyway, So we will.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Continue to follow this and see what the status of
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: things is. I want to follow up a little bit
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: on some of the topic from yesterday because I was
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: talking about the Boulder attack and I told you yesterday
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: there would end up being someone who would defend this
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: guy who you know with now a murder charge and
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: a number of other charges.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: But there'll be people.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Saying, wh I deport him. He's only allowed his visa
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: to expire, two different visas to expire, and was here
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: illegally at the time of this attack. And I told
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: you that there would be some that would defend him.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: What may be worse than people defending him, And there
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I'm sure are people defending him. I haven't specifically seen him.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: It's probably some of the more extreme people way on
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: the far left, but as far as high profile people,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen Bruce Springsteen defend him yet.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: You know countered that yet. But what we have seen.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Is some of the same people who had in the
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: you know, in the last couple of years, had been
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: defending some of the campus wide protests that were happening
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: at colleges. People that defended the gathering of pro Hamas
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: slash pro Palestine. Again, they're not the same, but there
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: are some people where it overlaps. They're deliberately trying to
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: confuse people in some cases. But anyway, so these protests
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: were taking place, in some cases they got violent.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: In some cases.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: You know, we had people that were supporting terroristic ideals,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: supporting Hamas, supporting some of the different enemies of the state.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: If you will, people that were here on.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Visas with a contingency that they not do these things.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I've discussed this a little bit before. But my amazing
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: wife came into this country.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: She got here.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Originally she visited I visited her great country. We were
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: back and forth a few times, and then finally she
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: made the commitment to move here, and she did. And
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: when she decided to move here, we started the process
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: of applying for a work visa and she got one.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: There were contingencies in place for the work visa, right,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: There were guidelines in place for the work visa. And
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: one of the things that you had to do with
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: the work visa is that one that she was going
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: to be able to take care of herself. She wasn't
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: going to be in a position where she's going to
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: be asking for federal assistance. That's an important aspect of
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: doing this through the legal channels, right. And the other
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: thing that that happened with that is they go through
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the Department of Labor and they look into okay, well,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: if someone is going to sponsor you for employment, which
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: is what happened, we have to verify and make sure
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: that the wage is a fair wage. This can't be
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: to someone's advantage that they're going to pay you just
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: you know, piddly minimal wages so that you'll happily take
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: it and come to America and ultimately need some assistants. See,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: there were contingencies in place.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: So she did that for a while.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: We got married and not wanting to and she applied
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: them for permanent residency.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: First it wasn't directly going for citizenship. She went for
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: permanent residency. She'd been here for a while, she wanted
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: to become a permanent resident, so she applied for that,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: the green card, okay, And when she got it, there
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: were contingencies.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: There was no like we were told.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I sat there in the interview with her and when
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: they told her that, you know, this is what she
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: was applying for, and that we needed to understand that
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: because she was going to be there with me, her husband,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: it was up to me to make sure that she
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: was taken care of. Should something happen with her work
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: and she needs some assistance. The government was not going
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: to be the one to step in and give her assistance.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: There were contingencies, right, So we did that, and then
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: eventually she applied for and took her citizenship test and
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: became a citizen back in twenty nineteen. It's been six
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: years so and at that point, sure, she's now a
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: US citizen and the contingencies go away. But when you're
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: here under any of these other circumstances going to be contingencies.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: And when our State Department decides that people protesting, sometimes
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: protests to get out of hand. Sometimes there's fires, sometimes
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: there's roadways being blocked, and they're doing all of this
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: in the name of Palestine slash Hamas. Some of them
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: are just there for Palestinians. Okay, certainly looks like it's
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: you know, anti Zion, anti Israel, anti Jewish sentiment that's there.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: If this were flipped, by the way, if all of
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: this were flipped and these were Republicans that were saying
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: we're on the side of the people against Israel, you
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: can believe with one hundred percent certainty that the Republicans
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: would be called anti Israel, anti anti Jewish, and anti Semitic.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: It happens at any possible opportunity. If it's Elon Musk
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: with an awkward wave, whatever it is, they'll find a
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: reason to call someone a Nazi, fascist, anti Semitic. Whatever
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: it is, right, they're going to find a way to
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: That's what they do.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: You can't even criticize the lurking in the shadows billionaire
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: that funds a lot of elections and gets people elected
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: because the name that you're not allowed to speak himself
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: not practicing, he's not a religious Jew, but he's Jewish.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: So they say, oh, we're going to say you're anti
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Semitic if you say anything bad about him. That's the game.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: That's been the circle that we've gone through. Right when
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: George Soros is just kind of there and now his
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: son and they're doing things. Eh, if you talk bad
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: about them, clearly it must be because they're Jewish. However,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Jewish students trying to get to the finals last year
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: at the end of the school year, they're trying to
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: go and take tests, felt intimidated and told that they
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: needed to leave campus, and they you know, sometimes they
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: are locked in buildings and closets and whatever. Sometimes it's
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: not even Jewish students. Sometimes it's just staff that are
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: being locked in closets and things. So what did we
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: have in the midst of Oh and by the way,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: these people that hear as student visas. When people say
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: it's time to deport them because they're supporting anti American ideas,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: they're supporting pro terrorist ideas more importantly, and they were
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: here on a contingency. They were here on a visa as.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: A student visa, and you know you're.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Not allowed to Oh and by the way, all of
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: these things were also true of Jill's process. It wasn't
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: just about government assistance. It was like, you're you're here.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: To not be an ally or advocate for our enemies,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Like you can't do that.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: It's not typically a problem when it comes to the Australians,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: but Jill wasn't allowed to be part of any pro
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: terrorist movement.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, so yeah, jump back to a couple.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Of years ago, and then here even this year happened
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: again into school year, not quite as much for some reason,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: it was a little bit different. But you have people
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: that were started to get deported during this administration that
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: said we're gonna send you a home State Department's going
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: to deny your visa, You're out, goodbye. And then you
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: had people like Alexandria Acasio Cortes, I'm sorry, Representative Acasio
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Cortes who said that these were peaceful demonstrations. They're peaceful,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the thought of you know, these people doing anything violent,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: promoting violence, promoting Hamas ideals, It was still peaceful. So
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: what it's worse than someone defending the actions of this murderer,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: this terrorist in Boulder, Colorado, would be someone who refers
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: to these protests as peaceful and that is somehow shocked
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: that someone gets killed, that a home gets burned down,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: that all these things happen like they're shocked. Horrified is
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: the word that she used. My heart is with the
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: victims of our Jewish communities across the country. Anti Semitism
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: is on the rise here at home, and we have
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: a moral responsibility to confront and stop it everywhere that
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: it exists. Yes, anti Semitism is on the rise of
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: here at home. But you can't point the finger at
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Elon Musk in his awkward wave and say that that's
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: what you're talking about. You can't say that people that
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: are critical of George Soro anti semitic. You need to
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: look at the college campuses that you're calling peaceful protests
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: and people that are being scared and unable to finish
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: up their semester at school. Yes, anti Semitism is on
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: the rise here at home, and you called some of
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: it peaceful. You called it peaceful protesting that took place,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: when in reality, it is exactly what you called it.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Anti Semitism on the rise. And if you're condoning the
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: behavior of people who are anti American, anti Israel here
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: on our soil, you can't be shocked when someone kills
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: someone in the name of it. You can't be shocked
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: that when you call the President of the United States
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: a Nazi and a threat to democracy, and then someone
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: tries to kill him, and then someone else tries to
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: kill him, you can't be shocked when it happens, because again,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: you have some blood on your hands right when you
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: call it peaceful, when you defend it, and you call
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: it peaceful, and the people that are promoting the hateful
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: activity are being encouraged by members of our government and
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: told keep it up, just a peaceful protest. Today's show

• 19:10
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: man cavid, you'd like to be able to open the
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, And again they
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: and they do those as well. Seven oh six thry

• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show. Right after the break, I want to
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: take a minute and acknowledge this particular news story, if
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: you will. And I'm gonna be like very clear on
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: a couple of things about this, because multiple things can
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: be true at the same time. The announcement has come
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: that the WTF with Mark Maren podcast will end this fall.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: It's been about sixteen years, sixteen hundred episodes, more than
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: sixteen hundred episodes, and he said, basically there was some
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: burnout if you've never listened, and you may not have
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: listened to his podcast.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Maybe you've heard of it. I'll tell you.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Mark Maren is a stand up comic that I think
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: it can be very funny.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: He used to be a host.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: But when Comedy Central was initially called the Comedy Channel
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: and they just showed stand ups, it was like MTV
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: except instead of music video, well MTV back in the day,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: instead of music videos, they just showed clips of stand
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: up comics doing bits, and he was one of the hosts.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: He was like one of the VJs, if you will.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: He was just there to kind of maybe make some
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: human observations about things, and he was one of those guys.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: He may have been the first. He was the first
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: I remember seeing on there. He tried his hand at
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: doing liberal news talk radio with Air America.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: That was a failure.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's a coincidence at all that news
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: talk radio was a very conservative medium. TV for a
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: while it was very liberal, and I think, you know,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: there's certainly the push for that. Most of the channels
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: and options are although most of the ratings are over
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: on the conservative side. But Air America was a huge failure.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: People just didn't want to listen to someone go on
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: and on and on about liberal ideals. It's just where
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: they were. It's like him. It was Janine Garoffalo and
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: there were some others that did it, and it was
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: a failure.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: They went bankrupt.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: There was a documentary made about it and goes into
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: the specifics about why it failed, but in general it
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: just didn't have never had the audience. So and I
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: think you have to acknowledge this too, that there was
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: a time when Tom Green, who could not get a
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: talk show like on regular TV, he just started doing
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: a talk show out of his house. And popularity of
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: that that also, I guess happened on MTV or wherever
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: that ended up. And there's now a clip of Joe
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Rogan when he was on the show and he's like, so,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: you're just doing this out of your house.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: This is great, This is a great idea.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: And of course now Joe Rogan, biggest podcaster in the world,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: doing a podcast out of his house, and a lot
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: of people say he really owes a lot all of
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: his success to this idea that came from Tom Green. Anyway,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: back to Mark Maron. Mark Marin started doing a podcast
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: obviously about sixteen years ago out of his garage in
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: I guess in Washington State. And he is one of
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: those people that if you're doing a podcast now and
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of people doing them, you're one of
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: the people that's been really actively pursuing this. And I'm
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: not talking about, Hey, I have a podcast and you
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: do five episodes and then you burn out. I'm talking
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: about the people who have done the grind. Mark Marin
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: is one of those people in the early days that
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: were doing the grind. He's certainly not the godfather of
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: the podcast, but he is definitely someone who deserves some
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: acknowledgement and some credit for pushing the medium for a very,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: very long time. I think it's sad that his podcast
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: is going. I don't listen to him very regularly. Occasionally
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: we'll have a guest on that I want to hear.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: I don't agree with his politics, I don't agree with
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of what he has to say about social issues,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: but I do think that it deserves some acknowledgment. As
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: he prepares to say farewell, and I know he's done
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: some acting. He's done a couple of acting gigs on
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: movies and TV shows and Anyway, if he's doing more
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: stand up, I'll give it a shot soon as we
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: start rolling into the political stuff, though he's probably gonna
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: lose me. But I'm sad to think that his podcast
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: is going away. I've liked the fact that it's been there,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: and it's been there for a very very long time.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: All Right to set annual time to discuss how often
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: you wash your sheets? And experts say you should wash
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: your sheets at least once a week. A new survey
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: says most people do not do that. Thirty seven percent
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: say they do it every two weeks, twenty seven percent
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: say that they wash their sheets just once a month,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: eleven percent say less than once a month. If you're
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: not washing your sheets regularly, here you go. According to research,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: people who rarely wash their sheets are fourteen percent more
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: likely to have brain fog, eleven percent more likely to
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: feel tired even if they got seven eight hours of sleep,
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: and eight percent more likely to have dry irritated eyes.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Because sleeping in dirty sheets allows bacteria, sweat, allergens, dead
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: skin cells, dust mites, and other gross things to accumulate,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: causing all sorts of skin irritations and allergy symptoms. The
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: survey also found that more than thirty three percent eat
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: in their bed, thirty four percent get into bed without
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: changing clothes that they've been outside in, and more than
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: forty two percent get into bed after a workout without showering.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: You're disgusted, Sorry, but I had to pass.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Along the information.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Also on the subject of you know bugs, your phone
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: is a parasite, they say today's most intrusive parasite is
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: your cell phone. According to researcher, smartphones have evolved from
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: helpful tools into digital freeloaders, sucking up your time, attention,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: and data and the benefit of which goes to the
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: tech companies and advertisers. And your phone thrives while you,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: the host, lose sleep, focus time, and privacy. So while
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: your doom scrolling at two am, just remember your phone might.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Be using you more than you're using it. How about
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: that it's a parasite.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Wednesday edition of the show.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
