Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, seventh day of August.
0:14
Speaker 3: I'm West Thanks for joining me.
0:19
Speaker 2: Well. For the second time in less than a month,
0:25
Speaker 2: Republicans dodged a bullet. Last month, it was the literal
0:30
Speaker 2: bullet that tried to take the life of former President Trump,
0:34
Speaker 2: the Republican candidate for president at the time still hadn't
0:40
Speaker 2: accepted officially the nomination.
0:42
Speaker 3: But now he is.
0:45
Speaker 2: And now yesterday it happened again. As for some reason,
0:52
Speaker 2: the Kamala Harris camp, whoever is making the decisions behind
0:56
Speaker 2: the scenes, it's not Kamala Harris. I don't believe that
0:58
Speaker 2: for a minute, decided to pick Tim Waltz to be
1:03
Speaker 2: the running mate instead of Shapiro. Oh how interesting things
1:12
Speaker 2: could have been if only it were Shapiro.
1:15
Speaker 3: But it's not.
1:17
Speaker 2: No. Somewhere, somehow, some way, the decision was made that
1:22
Speaker 2: Shapiro would not be the nominee, even though by most accounts.
1:26
Speaker 3: Most experts agree.
1:28
Speaker 2: Most odds makers said that Shapiro would be the one
1:36
Speaker 2: to give Kamala Harris the best chance at winning, and
1:45
Speaker 2: a state that she needs to win, and Josh Shapiro
1:49
Speaker 2: sixty one percent approval rating in his state, and most
1:55
Speaker 2: people say, well, wait a minute, makes sense for him.
1:59
Speaker 3: To be the running mate if he could deliver.
2:02
Speaker 2: Fifty thousand votes maybe, I mean, I would think that's
2:05
Speaker 2: probably a fair and reasonable amount. I don't know if
2:08
Speaker 2: they know how many would be needed to carry the state.
2:12
Speaker 2: But he wasn't the pick. And I'm sorry. I don't
2:19
Speaker 2: typically do this. I just I like to ask questions
2:22
Speaker 2: and make observations, but occasionally I'll just say, you know
2:29
Speaker 2: what I'm really thinking, and I'm sorry, but if you
2:34
Speaker 2: are Jewish and you still feel a connection to this party,
2:38
Speaker 2: you should not. They've left you. They've left you. That's
2:44
Speaker 2: what this decision ultimately said. There's pressure to keep the
2:52
Speaker 2: fevered riot ready. Pro Palestinian college students are ready to
3:03
Speaker 2: get out and vote. They don't want to upset them.
3:06
Speaker 2: They don't want to go with someone who is pro Israel.
3:10
Speaker 2: And quite frankly, I'm going to tell you what these
3:14
Speaker 2: were the concerns that I had with Josh Shapiro. Just
3:18
Speaker 2: looking at this from someone who thinks we need to
3:21
Speaker 2: restore some order in the White House and restore some
3:24
Speaker 2: order in the country. The things that concern me the
3:28
Speaker 2: most about Shapiro is he is an up and comer.
3:30
Speaker 2: He does have the potential to I think he's a
3:34
Speaker 2: strong Maybe he would be a strong contender in four
3:41
Speaker 2: years were it not for the fact that the party
3:44
Speaker 2: seems to be moving away from the Jewish community. But
3:50
Speaker 2: my concern with him as a VP pick is could
3:54
Speaker 2: he deliver Pennsylvania. If so, he would have given her
3:57
Speaker 2: a path to the White House by like two electoral votes.
4:03
Speaker 2: Wouldn't have guaranteed it, but it certainly is one of
4:05
Speaker 2: those states that she's going to need, assuming that Trump
4:08
Speaker 2: holds onto the states that he won last time, and
4:11
Speaker 2: it's one of those situations where maybe he could have
4:15
Speaker 2: delivered it. Maybe he wouldn't have. I don't know. But
4:19
Speaker 2: I also think that after what we saw happened during
4:23
Speaker 2: graduation season, as we kicked off the summer really late fall,
4:29
Speaker 2: but you know, kicking off the summer, getting to that
4:32
Speaker 2: phase of getting into the summertime, as high school and
4:35
Speaker 2: college graduations were happening, and we started to see the
4:41
Speaker 2: pro Palestine contingency in this country in some cases, and
4:49
Speaker 2: I stress this, I have friends with Palestinian backgrounds. They've
4:54
Speaker 2: said for years some of these same thoughts and comments
5:00
Speaker 2: relating to you know, what their positions are in the
5:06
Speaker 2: Middle East with Israel, and it comes from a place
5:10
Speaker 2: of wanting peace, It comes from a place of wanting
5:13
Speaker 2: what's fair and what's just. In their opinion, I don't
5:17
Speaker 2: know anyone that is anti Israel, and they must all
5:23
Speaker 2: die of the people that I know with Palestine and backgrounds,
5:27
Speaker 2: And I think it's important to stress that, and I
5:29
Speaker 2: don't think it's fair to assume anything. We get enough
5:33
Speaker 2: of that from the left when it comes to people
5:35
Speaker 2: when someone says, hey, I support the Second Amendment, and
5:38
Speaker 2: they say, oh, you must be a white supremacist. You
5:42
Speaker 2: must want automatic weapons on the streets, children just carrying
5:47
Speaker 2: them around. You must want that. That must be what
5:51
Speaker 2: you're all about. So, with that said, a lot of
5:57
Speaker 2: the protests that were disrupt that were at times violent,
6:03
Speaker 2: that were at times scary, especially for the Jewish community.
6:09
Speaker 2: It was scary for people who care about people in
6:11
Speaker 2: the Jewish community, which does not apparently include this candidate
6:17
Speaker 2: for president and the vice president, because she didn't pick
6:20
Speaker 2: somebody who would have been telling things to calm down.
6:26
Speaker 2: Calming down the rhetoric. No, no, no, These are people
6:30
Speaker 2: and Kamala Harris and Walls who were pro the violent
6:35
Speaker 2: twenty twenty riots that we saw that broke out. They
6:39
Speaker 2: saw it as a means of getting their candidate elected
6:43
Speaker 2: or getting themselves elected Vice president. Walls in Minnesota didn't
6:49
Speaker 2: do anything to slow things down, and at times he
6:55
Speaker 2: talked about, you know, the positives from you know, you.
6:59
Speaker 3: Have to have.
7:02
Speaker 2: Diversity, equity, and inclusion. He's a crt guy, right, He's
7:06
Speaker 2: for all these things. And yet all we've heard about
7:11
Speaker 2: since the announcement yesterday is just he's a good old
7:15
Speaker 2: Midwestern guy. He's just a middle of the road, barely
7:19
Speaker 2: left of center midwestern guy. I don't know if you
7:22
Speaker 2: caught that, but yesterday as the announcement came out, all
7:25
Speaker 2: the media had their talking points. This is what you're
7:29
Speaker 2: to say about Tim Walls. See, I told you during
7:34
Speaker 2: the early days of the Biden presidency, in the first year,
7:40
Speaker 2: I guess there was a situation where we had folks on.
7:50
Speaker 3: In the media.
7:52
Speaker 2: They were scolded, they were taken in to a big meeting,
7:58
Speaker 2: and they were told by members of the Biden White House,
8:02
Speaker 2: you're not doing enough to help us. He's got a
8:05
Speaker 2: bad image. A lot of people forget that this even happened.
8:08
Speaker 2: I talked about it when it happened. A lot of
8:11
Speaker 2: people don't seem to remember that this happened. But early
8:15
Speaker 2: on in the first year, things weren't going great. There
8:18
Speaker 2: was a lot of struggles. Remember when all the little
8:21
Speaker 2: stickers the Biden pointing at the gas pump and it
8:23
Speaker 2: said I did that, And then people would rip them
8:26
Speaker 2: off because you know, you can't let any truths get
8:29
Speaker 2: out there. God forbid some truths get out there, so
8:34
Speaker 2: the and maybe the.
8:35
Speaker 3: People who owned the gas stations took it down.
8:37
Speaker 2: I would if I owned a gas station, you know,
8:40
Speaker 2: and I was looking to I don't know, service everyone
8:43
Speaker 2: in the community to come in and buy my gas.
8:45
Speaker 2: I wouldn't want that on my gas pumps. I wish
8:48
Speaker 2: more businesses felt that way and would understand. I wish
8:51
Speaker 2: more actors and musicians would understand, we don't need to
8:55
Speaker 2: know their politics.
8:56
Speaker 3: It actually makes me less likely.
8:58
Speaker 2: To spend money on their if I know that the
9:01
Speaker 2: money that I give them is going to be given
9:04
Speaker 2: to candidates that I don't support. I don't even really
9:07
Speaker 2: want to know that it's being given to candidates that
9:09
Speaker 2: I do support. I prefer to not know who they support. Oh,
9:14
Speaker 2: it was fun yesterday watching the just a little tangent,
9:18
Speaker 2: but watching the US women's soccer team win and hearing
9:25
Speaker 2: all the talk about how different the team is, what
9:28
Speaker 2: the turnover is. And I saw the anthem, I didn't
9:31
Speaker 2: see I didn't hear any talk about the anthem. I
9:33
Speaker 2: didn't see any protesting of the anthem. I didn't see anybody.
9:36
Speaker 2: I saw some singing along. I saw some with their
9:39
Speaker 2: eyes closed. I saw some with their hands on their hearts.
9:43
Speaker 2: And I've said, good, if you want to protest the
9:46
Speaker 2: national anthem at something, you should have a right to
9:49
Speaker 2: do that. I don't want to see it, but you
9:55
Speaker 2: should have a right to do it. I think that's
9:57
Speaker 2: you're right. I think that should be your right as
9:59
Speaker 2: an American. If you want to burn an American flag,
10:03
Speaker 2: that's your right. It should be yours. You should have
10:05
Speaker 2: paid for it. You can't take someone else's flag and
10:07
Speaker 2: burn it.
10:08
Speaker 3: That's not okay.
10:10
Speaker 2: I don't want to see it. I wish that people
10:13
Speaker 2: would not want to do it. But if you decided
10:16
Speaker 2: that that's what you wanted to do, I'm of the
10:19
Speaker 2: mindset that that fits within what the founders intended.
10:22
Speaker 3: We should have a right to protest it.
10:24
Speaker 2: But I don't think you should be able to protest
10:26
Speaker 2: the national anthem under the confines of the Olympics of
10:30
Speaker 2: anything that involves you representing your country in a competition.
10:34
Speaker 2: That's where I'm at with it. I don't think that
10:35
Speaker 2: should be allowed. It was nice not seeing the usual suspects,
10:40
Speaker 2: not seeing you know, the usual haircuts that you know protest.
10:47
Speaker 2: You know, I was going to say the pink pink
10:49
Speaker 2: hair protesting as a different player on the team with
10:52
Speaker 2: pink hair. Now maybe they don't, maybe they protest, and
10:55
Speaker 2: maybe they don't support the country.
10:56
Speaker 3: I don't know.
10:57
Speaker 2: But that's what's great about it. I don't need to
11:00
Speaker 2: know it. I don't need to know who. You know,
11:03
Speaker 2: if Netflix has given money to a candidate, I don't
11:06
Speaker 2: need to know that. What a shocker that Netflix would
11:08
Speaker 2: be giving money to Democrats with just based on some
11:12
Speaker 2: of the production deals that they've made with people. I
11:15
Speaker 2: don't need to know that. It's nice to not know that,
11:19
Speaker 2: isn't it Isn't it nice sometimes to just not know that.
11:23
Speaker 2: So back to these candidates, we now have on the left.
11:28
Speaker 2: Speaking of not knowing things, Tim Watson, people don't know
11:33
Speaker 2: who he is. Oh my gosh. Oh Google is just
11:36
Speaker 2: on fire, people looking up this guy because they don't
11:39
Speaker 2: know who he is.
11:41
Speaker 3: They don't know.
11:41
Speaker 2: All they know is that Democrats ran off Joe Biden
11:45
Speaker 2: because they said he was too old, and they said
11:48
Speaker 2: he wasn't able to be the candidate anymore. And they
11:50
Speaker 2: just pushed him out the door. And then they just
11:54
Speaker 2: handed they selected Kamala Harris, not elected selected, and then
12:00
Speaker 2: they went out and picked a VP pick who looks.
12:02
Speaker 3: Older than Biden.
12:02
Speaker 2: He's not He's six months older than Harris, but he
12:08
Speaker 2: certainly looks like an old guy. But I've also started
12:10
Speaker 2: to see the oh, now Trump's.
12:11
Speaker 3: The old guy.
12:13
Speaker 2: It was never an issue just about age. That's not
12:15
Speaker 2: how we do things here. We don't sit back and go, oh,
12:18
Speaker 2: it's all about age. It's all about age. That's not
12:21
Speaker 2: what we do. It's about competency, it's about ability. I
12:25
Speaker 2: think that Tim Walls, the governor of Minnesota, is certainly
12:30
Speaker 2: capable of, you know, maybe stringing together some coherent words.
12:37
Speaker 2: I didn't watch there. I watched little bits of their
12:39
Speaker 2: speech last night, but again, if they're not going to
12:44
Speaker 2: take questions from a media that's going to actually challenge
12:48
Speaker 2: them on things, the speeches don't mean anything. None of
12:51
Speaker 2: the speeches mean anything. If you're not actually answering questions,
12:55
Speaker 2: if someone's not going to ask you about your record,
12:58
Speaker 2: if someone's not going to ask you about what you
13:01
Speaker 2: did as a governor of a state where riots were
13:04
Speaker 2: taking place, if no one's going to actually say, what
13:06
Speaker 2: did you do? Why didn't you bring in the National Guard?
13:11
Speaker 2: Why didn't you bring in people to help? He was
13:14
Speaker 2: asked about bringing in the National Guard to help, and
13:16
Speaker 2: he said, Oh, they're just a bunch of nineteen year
13:18
Speaker 2: old cooks that would be coming in. I don't I
13:24
Speaker 2: don't think if the if the research I've seen is there.
13:28
Speaker 2: I don't know that the military is a big fan
13:30
Speaker 2: of this guy, and that may be part of line.
13:32
Speaker 2: I think there's a few other reasons. But uh so
13:35
Speaker 2: we have we have Kamala Harris, who doesn't really say anything.
13:42
Speaker 2: They're running this candidacy very similarly to what they did
13:45
Speaker 2: with Biden, except they used COVID as the excuse. We
13:47
Speaker 2: can't we can't bring Biden out. He's got to stay
13:50
Speaker 2: he's got to lay low, he's got to stay hidden
13:53
Speaker 2: and with her. I don't know what they're they're trying
13:56
Speaker 2: to U, you know, get everything all already they're trying
14:01
Speaker 2: to I don't know if they're just trying to, like
14:04
Speaker 2: matrix style, upload all the information that she might need
14:08
Speaker 2: to be able to do an interview. I don't know
14:09
Speaker 2: what they're doing. I know that she still hasn't done interviews,
14:14
Speaker 2: she still hasn't done anything of significance to talk about.
14:18
Speaker 2: I don't suspect we're going to see a lot from him.
14:21
Speaker 2: They did their cutesy little you know, we got to
14:24
Speaker 2: see the speaker phone call where she supposedly was calling
14:27
Speaker 2: him and telling him, and I guess that was real.
14:28
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know how that worked. I
14:30
Speaker 3: don't know what the status of all that was.
14:33
Speaker 2: I just know when I heard the news yesterday, I
14:35
Speaker 2: was relieved because I thought this had the makings of
14:38
Speaker 2: being a really interesting race. Walls was not someone that
14:44
Speaker 2: I told you. I gave you my three that I thought,
14:47
Speaker 2: and I told you who where they fell into my harrisometer,
14:53
Speaker 2: if you will. I thought Shapiro was the pick if
14:56
Speaker 2: they were serious about winning, right, I thought Kelly was
15:00
Speaker 2: the pick if they were really serious about trying to
15:03
Speaker 2: win in four years, and that they didn't think maybe
15:06
Speaker 2: they had enough time to put this together. And I
15:09
Speaker 2: told you that Pete Buddhaje Edge would be the one
15:11
Speaker 2: if it was just an absolute throwaway and they just
15:14
Speaker 2: wanted to check a couple of boxes and.
15:16
Speaker 3: Say, look what we did. Look at what we did.
15:19
Speaker 2: It's a woman and a gay man running for president. Boy,
15:22
Speaker 2: look at what we've done. Look at what we accomplished
15:26
Speaker 2: by nominating these two without votes. No one voted for it,
15:30
Speaker 2: but look at what we accomplished.
15:31
Speaker 3: This is what we've done.
15:34
Speaker 2: And I know there were a couple others, they weren't
15:35
Speaker 2: the only ones that but those were the three that
15:37
Speaker 2: I kind of thought was the.
15:38
Speaker 3: Barometer of things. I think.
15:43
Speaker 2: I think Walls is probably on par with the Kelly pick.
15:46
Speaker 2: I think he's a little below the Kelly pick. I
15:49
Speaker 2: think maybe Kelly could have helped with Arizona. I don't
15:52
Speaker 2: know that. I know Walls isn't going to help with Minnesota.
15:57
Speaker 2: That's a blue state. There's nothing to gain there. Whether
16:02
Speaker 2: he can bring in some votes from Michigan or Wisconsin,
16:07
Speaker 2: I don't know, there's some speculation about whether he can
16:10
Speaker 2: help maybe with those states. It remains to be seen.
16:14
Speaker 2: She still needs Pennsylvania. She's gonna need Pennsylvania. I did
16:19
Speaker 2: find it interesting just watching a little bit of the
16:22
Speaker 2: rally that they did yesterday, is that this is now
16:25
Speaker 2: a full on American idol style candidacy. They are doing
16:31
Speaker 2: things that are done at a Taylor Swift concert. They're
16:34
Speaker 2: handing out bracelets that light up, and they don't glow
16:36
Speaker 2: in the dark, but they light up. Someone controls what
16:39
Speaker 2: they and the events are being run like concerts. You know,
16:44
Speaker 2: they're playing hip hop music because again, we have to
16:48
Speaker 2: make sure that even though and I'm just going by record,
16:52
Speaker 2: even though most of her life she identified as Indian,
16:56
Speaker 2: now she is definitely making sure that the the black
17:01
Speaker 2: American voting block knows that she is in fact black.
17:06
Speaker 2: And that's fine if that's her, that's the identity that
17:10
Speaker 2: she's going. I don't know that Black America is looking
17:13
Speaker 2: at her and embracing her and saying this is what
17:15
Speaker 2: we want. I don't think anything has changed by trying
17:20
Speaker 2: to get people more excited. The bottom line here is
17:24
Speaker 2: what's the track record and the Trump and advance ticket
17:29
Speaker 2: needs to stay on point. First of all, VP picks
17:33
Speaker 2: don't tend to have a big impact on elections, not always.
17:39
Speaker 2: Sometimes they can hold them down. I think Sarah Palin
17:42
Speaker 2: may be held McCain down a little bit, but they
17:45
Speaker 2: were going against the juggernaut that was the cult of
17:47
Speaker 2: personality that was Barack Obama. That was going to be
17:51
Speaker 2: a hard sell anyway against that. Harris doesn't have that.
17:57
Speaker 2: This isn't a first in that regard. I know people
18:00
Speaker 2: are saying, oh, it would be the first woman president,
18:03
Speaker 2: and that's true, but it's again, it's got to be
18:06
Speaker 2: the right one. You can't just pick somebody and say well,
18:10
Speaker 2: this is going to be the first one and then
18:12
Speaker 2: then make it look bad. Right at least Obama And
18:16
Speaker 2: you know, I didn't like anything he really liked his policies.
18:19
Speaker 2: I wasn't pro Obama as a politician, but he didn't
18:23
Speaker 2: make the office look bad. You know, he didn't bring
18:26
Speaker 2: disgrace to it by not being able to do an
18:29
Speaker 2: interview and say coherent things. He did have that thing
18:32
Speaker 2: where he made fun of the special Olympics athletes. I
18:35
Speaker 2: mean I thought that was very sad, and nobody seems
18:39
Speaker 2: to remember that one either. So I don't think Walls
18:43
Speaker 2: is going to have an impact at all other than
18:47
Speaker 2: his track record as someone who is much further to
18:51
Speaker 2: the left than the right of center midwestern old grandpa
18:56
Speaker 2: or whatever that they're trying to paint him as. I
18:58
Speaker 2: don't think they're going with grandpa. He does look older
19:01
Speaker 2: than he is. I think the guy's sixty, and I
19:05
Speaker 2: don't know that we're going to hear a whole lot
19:07
Speaker 2: of grandpa talk, even though he does look like, you know,
19:11
Speaker 2: maybe he could be Biden's older brother.
19:12
Speaker 3: I don't know.
19:14
Speaker 2: I'm not really sure why this was the pick, but
19:19
Speaker 2: someone behind the scenes made the pick. A lot of
19:22
Speaker 2: speculation is this because they think they can't win and
19:25
Speaker 2: they don't want to tarnish Kelly and they don't want
19:27
Speaker 2: to tarnish Shapiro. I do think that they wanted to
19:32
Speaker 2: separate from the Jewish community, from the pro Israel community
19:38
Speaker 2: because they're worried about the people who are active, the
19:41
Speaker 2: groups of people that they're most concerned about. And again,
19:45
Speaker 2: if you're Jewish and you're still voting for them, you're
19:48
Speaker 2: voting against your own interests. I think they've made that clear.
19:51
Speaker 2: I think they made that very painstakingly clear that they're
19:55
Speaker 2: leaving you behind, and maybe it's time for you to
19:59
Speaker 2: leave them behind. I would if I were you, And
20:03
Speaker 2: I think a lot of the black community is starting
20:05
Speaker 2: to realize we're struggling to pay our bills right now.
20:08
Speaker 2: You can't just come out and buy a hip hop
20:10
Speaker 2: record and walk out of a record store and tell us, hey,
20:14
Speaker 2: this is how black I am. Remember Hillary tried that
20:17
Speaker 2: with the hot sauce iner purse and that didn't go
20:19
Speaker 2: over either. You can't just fake it, and you can't
20:25
Speaker 2: convince people that you have their best interest there when
20:28
Speaker 2: really you've moved on this growing sentiment that the Democrat
20:34
Speaker 2: Party is more concerned about flooding illegals across the border.
20:38
Speaker 2: And by the way, Wallace is a big sanctuary city,
20:41
Speaker 2: sanctuary state advocate. He thinks that's Andy wants a driver's
20:45
Speaker 2: licenses for people who are illegal, non undocumented whatever you're
20:50
Speaker 2: supposed to say, I say illegal, Why should they be
20:54
Speaker 2: able to get Why should they have the same rights
20:56
Speaker 2: with a driver's license that I have? Why should they
21:01
Speaker 2: like what's the entitlement there? I understand you're going to say, well,
21:03
Speaker 2: if they're here and they're undocumented, and they need to
21:06
Speaker 2: get from point A to point B. They need to
21:08
Speaker 2: be able to drive. But why are they here? And
21:13
Speaker 2: I've started to hear few people speaking in the black
21:17
Speaker 2: community about saying that that's the priority, and they're using
21:21
Speaker 2: these people that are coming in to the country to
21:25
Speaker 2: replace the black community.
21:29
Speaker 3: Is a need for them because if.
21:30
Speaker 2: They can push them aside because they have the numbers otherwise, well,
21:37
Speaker 2: that means the black community needs to speak up and say, hey,
21:39
Speaker 2: we want to be accorded as voters again. The Jewish community,
21:45
Speaker 2: you've been told, you've been rejected, you've been denied, you
21:48
Speaker 2: were told with this pick. They don't care about you.
21:51
Speaker 2: They're not interested in Israel. They're not interested in you
21:54
Speaker 2: and your thoughts on Israel. All they're concerned about is
21:58
Speaker 2: keeping the extreme em far left a voter base happy
22:03
Speaker 2: because they think that gives them a better chance at winning.
22:06
Speaker 2: And continuing on with this series of where's the common
22:11
Speaker 2: sense in our country? People on the writer are saying,
22:15
Speaker 2: let's re establish common sense and law and order, and
22:18
Speaker 2: people on the left are saying, hey, whatever we got
22:20
Speaker 2: to do to win, We're going to run our campaign
22:23
Speaker 2: like a Taylor Swift concert. We're going to run an
22:26
Speaker 2: American Idol vote style. If you could call in and
22:30
Speaker 2: dial in a number and vote, they would do it.
22:32
Speaker 2: They would do it in a heartbeat. They'd have people
22:34
Speaker 2: work in the phones. So yes, second time now in
22:40
Speaker 2: less than thirty days. I really truly believe Republicans dodged
22:44
Speaker 2: a literal bullet as Donald Trump dodged a literal bullet,
22:48
Speaker 2: and now metaphorically another bullet was dodged when they did
22:53
Speaker 2: not pick Shapiro. Today's show brought to you by Columbus
22:56
Speaker 2: State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center in spying and
23:00

23:10

Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School
23:44
Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
23:47
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
23:52
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
23:54
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
23:58
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a a major city attraction that
24:02
Speaker 2: happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the
24:07

24:27
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night
24:30
Speaker 2: events also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As
24:35
Speaker 2: Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I

24:43
Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
24:47
Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of your
24:50
Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
24:56
Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
25:00
Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
25:04
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
25:07
Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
25:09
Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
25:12
Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
25:15
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
25:19
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
25:21
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
25:23
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
25:27
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
25:30
Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or
25:33
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
25:38
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
25:40
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
25:43
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
25:45
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
25:50
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
25:52
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
25:54
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
25:56
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
25:59
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
26:02
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
26:04
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
26:08
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
26:11
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven sixty five eight forty five hundred
26:14
Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O
26:17
Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after
26:22
Speaker 2: the break. All right, there's a lot of folks that
26:32
Speaker 2: seem to think that they can do all of the
26:35
Speaker 2: sports done in the Olympics that the athletes do, or
26:39
Speaker 2: at least many of them, And just because they make
26:44
Speaker 2: it look easy doesn't mean that you can do it.
26:48
Speaker 2: Doctors are seeing a rise in injuries from people trying
26:51
Speaker 2: to mimic Olympic athletes at home. Backflips, high jumps, dives. Oh,
26:58
Speaker 2: dives is a scary you don't want to do that.
27:01
Speaker 2: There's too many stories about people trying to dive into
27:03
Speaker 2: a pool that's not deep enough, skateboarding first time in years,
27:08
Speaker 2: all that stuff, and they're ending up in the er.
27:10
Speaker 2: In many cases, it says we frequently see people come
27:14
Speaker 2: to the physical therapy after watching the Olympics and either
27:17
Speaker 2: revisiting a sport that they previously participated in or inspired
27:21
Speaker 2: to take up something new and are unfortunately affected by
27:24
Speaker 2: an injury during that activity. This coming from a British
27:28
Speaker 2: physical therapist, Matthew Harrison. He says a backflip is a
27:31
Speaker 2: wonderful thing to watch for those who've practiced it for
27:33
Speaker 2: many years, but it can be dangerous if this is
27:36
Speaker 2: new to you. Landing on your head is never a
27:39
Speaker 2: good thing. It doesn't help that you got that guy
27:43
Speaker 2: from a Turkey, that shooter, you know, and he just
27:45
Speaker 2: walks in with no equipment and wins a silver medal
27:49
Speaker 2: or whatever. Gen Zers are ditching underwire bras TikTok is
27:55
Speaker 2: full of videos of women raving about the wire free
27:58
Speaker 2: bra options and freeing themselves with the discomfort of feeling
28:02
Speaker 2: like something is digging into their skin all day.
28:07
Speaker 3: So that's a thing, they say.
28:11
Speaker 2: Women are doing it and social media is helping to
28:15
Speaker 2: create the phenomenon even more. And I don't really have
28:18
Speaker 2: input on it. I just thought it was an interesting
28:20
Speaker 2: thing that's happening. So, ladies, if you've been thinking about
28:24
Speaker 2: getting rid of that wire, you can join the cool
28:28
Speaker 2: crowd and do just that.
28:31
Speaker 3: Do you get a high after you find a great
28:34
Speaker 3: deal on something?
28:34
Speaker 2: According to a recent survey, for most people, the buzz
28:37
Speaker 2: from a good bargain sticks around for three and a
28:39
Speaker 2: half hours. About ten percent of lucky shoppers say they
28:43
Speaker 2: ride that high for the entire day. The survey also
28:45
Speaker 2: revealed that fifty nine percent of people love to brag
28:48
Speaker 2: about their deals to friends and family, and sixty percent
28:51
Speaker 2: of respondents claim that they can find a deal on anything.
28:55
Speaker 2: So it's no wonder why half of them consider themselves
28:57
Speaker 2: to be the best bargain hunters that they know. The
29:02
Speaker 2: list of party schools according to niche dot com, by
29:06
Speaker 2: the numbers, they say, these are the biggest party colleges around.
29:12
Speaker 2: You see Santa Barbara's at the top of the list,
29:14
Speaker 2: and there's Florida State, then Tulane that's in New Orleans,
29:18
Speaker 2: so not a big shock there, University of Alabama, Syracuse,
29:24
Speaker 2: Southern col Georgia, University of Wisconsin at Madison, University of
29:30
Speaker 2: Illinois or Bana Champagne, and then Howard University or the
29:33
Speaker 2: top ten. This is according to niche dot Com.
29:39
Speaker 3: I haven't.
29:41
Speaker 2: You know, partied a lot any of these places, But
29:46
Speaker 2: you know, some of them makes sense. You know, I've
29:49
Speaker 2: partied a little at Alabama, but and I guess near
29:53
Speaker 2: Tulane in New Orleans. But that's about it off of
29:56
Speaker 2: this list. So and pretty near Georgia but not really
30:01
Speaker 2: like on campus. So New York known as the city
30:05
Speaker 2: that Never sleeps, Montreal could soon be taking the title away,
30:09
Speaker 2: With both cities having a very active nightlife. Bars in
30:12
Speaker 2: New York actually close at some point. Montreal, on the
30:16
Speaker 2: other hand, is about to become the first city in
30:18
Speaker 2: Canada to allow bars to remain open twenty four hours
30:21
Speaker 2: a day. That doesn't seem like a bad idea at all, doesn't.
30:24
Speaker 2: City will designate all night drinking districts that will allow
30:27
Speaker 2: bars to continue serving alcohol around the clock. I guess
30:31
Speaker 2: just in case Nicholas Cage from leaving Las Vegas, that
30:34
Speaker 2: guy that he's playing in that needs to get there
30:37
Speaker 2: doing so because city officials believe it will bring in
30:39
Speaker 2: hundreds of millions of dollars in additional revenue and boost
30:41
Speaker 2: the local economy. There are opponents, though, They say that
30:46
Speaker 2: twenty four hour drinking will cause more crime and problems,
30:50
Speaker 2: especially because there's no twenty four hour public transportation that
30:54
Speaker 2: would be something that you would need. And the US
30:57
Speaker 2: Vegas and New Orleans both allow bars to stay open
31:00
Speaker 2: all night.
31:01
Speaker 3: So all right.
31:02
Speaker 2: Finally, the if you've ever eaten at McDonald's and you
31:09
Speaker 2: know that they have the is it the fley of fish.
31:13
Speaker 2: The flay of fish, I think is the one that
31:14
Speaker 2: has the really soft bun on it, and I guess
31:17
Speaker 2: it's because it's steamed. The flay of fish has a
31:22
Speaker 2: steamed bun. And they say that if you ask, when
31:25
Speaker 2: you place an order at McDonald's for a quarter pounder
31:29
Speaker 2: or whatever, a big nang and you ask for a
31:31
Speaker 2: steamed bun, apparently they'll do it for you.
31:33
Speaker 3: And apparently it really.
31:35
Speaker 2: Makes the burger experience at McDonald's a lot better. So
31:38
Speaker 2: just keep that in mind, shelve that until later when
31:42
Speaker 2: you need it, maybe maybe today, maybe you're gonna go
31:44
Speaker 2: have lunch at McDonald's. To say, I don't know what you're doing.
31:46
Speaker 2: I don't judge. You go eat what you want to eat,
31:49
Speaker 2: but they say you can do that, and I would
31:51
Speaker 2: say most of the time, and I don't eat McDonald's
31:53
Speaker 2: a lot and that's not me talking like you.
31:55
Speaker 3: Know, one of those wood. I don't eat McDonald's a lot.
31:58
Speaker 2: I just I don't eat nearly as much fast food
32:02
Speaker 2: as I used to because of my age, and you
32:04
Speaker 2: get to a point where you think I can't do
32:06
Speaker 2: that as much anymore. But anytime recently that I've eaten
32:11
Speaker 2: at McDonald's, it's always my biggest issue has.
32:13
Speaker 3: Been the bond.
32:14
Speaker 2: I think I esteemed bond would probably help the experience there,
32:18
Speaker 2: So I mean have to give that a try, and
32:19
Speaker 2: if I do, I'll let you know. That'll do it
32:22
Speaker 2: for this Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks to our
32:24
Speaker 2: sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch you
32:27
Speaker 2: back here tomorrow morning.
