Oops! More Than 1500 Podcasts... 1505 to Be Exact · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

0:01
Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:11
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, sixteenth day of October. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:16
Speaker 2: joining me. Have you had comet fever? Have you been
0:21
Speaker 2: checking out Comet t Atlas? I know it's been kind
0:26
Speaker 2: of an exciting little stretch of opportunities to look at
0:29
Speaker 2: the sky. We obviously had the second Aurora borealis incident
0:37
Speaker 2: in a five month stretch last week, and that was
0:41
Speaker 2: it was pretty exciting. I mean, it all played out well.
0:44
Speaker 2: If you had kids that were out of school on
0:45
Speaker 2: Friday or they were doing virtual school or whatever on Friday,
0:48
Speaker 2: that played out well. But then that follows up with
0:53
Speaker 2: the comet. Now, I know, we got the environmentalists that are,
0:58
Speaker 2: you know, freaking out about the the hurricanes and where
1:03
Speaker 2: you know, nowhere near statistically where they claim we are
1:06
Speaker 2: with the hurricanes. Hurricanes happen in hurricane season, that wasn't
1:11
Speaker 2: the worst hurricane we've ever had, all that sort of stuff.
1:14
Speaker 2: But I'm trying to figure out if the environmentalists are
1:17
Speaker 2: blaming the Aurora borealis on climate change. I'm sure they
1:23
Speaker 2: could find a way to blame. They can blame anything
1:25
Speaker 2: on climate change. They're very good at, you know, sort
1:28
Speaker 2: of figuring out the message. They figure out the endpoint,
1:33
Speaker 2: and then they go back and you know, just start
1:35
Speaker 2: plugging in all the gaps. But the sun blasting, coronal
1:42
Speaker 2: mass ejections and geomagnetic storms happening, you know, in our
1:46
Speaker 2: atmosphere or in the upper atmosphere causing this. Yes, I'm
1:50
Speaker 2: sure our cars are somehow having an impact on the sun.
1:55
Speaker 2: I mean, that makes sense, doesn't If you say it enough,
1:59
Speaker 2: people just kind of run with it. I think that's
2:01
Speaker 2: the thing you get to, You get to saying it
2:05
Speaker 2: enough and starting to say things like, well, all the
2:07
Speaker 2: scientists agree that this is what's happened, so you know,
2:10
Speaker 2: we just have to go with it. And then having
2:14
Speaker 2: the comet tea Atlas is the easy way to say it. Trachension,
2:21
Speaker 2: I guess is the atlas is the kind of the name.
2:25
Speaker 2: I don't know. It stands for purple mountain and it's
2:28
Speaker 2: a Chinese name, but tea Atlas works. But if you've
2:31
Speaker 2: had an opportunity the past couple of nights, I know
2:33
Speaker 2: there were some clouds in areas last night. I don't
2:35
Speaker 2: know if people really got a good chance to see it.
2:37
Speaker 2: I guess it depends on what the clouds were doing
2:40
Speaker 2: at whatever time you were trying to look at it.
2:42
Speaker 2: We had a good chance to see it the other night,
2:45
Speaker 2: just as a family we went out and checked it out.
2:47
Speaker 2: So there's plenty more chances over the next couple of
2:50
Speaker 2: days for you to do it, assuming we get decent
2:53
Speaker 2: clear skies off to the west. Basically figure out where
2:57
Speaker 2: the sun has just set right, that's the way, and
3:01
Speaker 2: the comet is heading in the direction of the sun,
3:04
Speaker 2: so lets you know about where it's going to be
3:06
Speaker 2: and how that's going to work. And I hope you're
3:08
Speaker 2: getting a chance. And Thursday we'll talk about the comet
3:13
Speaker 2: and Aurora and all that stuff that's going on. And
3:17
Speaker 2: SpaceX just had a phenomenal landing of their big rocket,
3:24
Speaker 2: so that's pretty exciting. There's a lot of stuff that
3:26
Speaker 2: we'll be talking about on Made of Stars coming up
3:29
Speaker 2: on Thursday. Meda Stars the name of the podcast. Wherever
3:33
Speaker 2: you're listening to this podcast, you can find the Mate
3:36
Speaker 2: of Stars podcast. It's just that simple, and appreciate you
3:40
Speaker 2: giving that a checkout if you haven't already listened. To
3:42
Speaker 2: Made of Stars, Maybe you have. It's won the Gabby
3:45
Speaker 2: for Best Podcast Series from the Georgie Association of Broadcasters
3:50
Speaker 2: the first year we were doing that show as a podcast.
3:54
Speaker 2: So another quick little inventory thing, little house keeping thing
3:58
Speaker 2: that I'd like to do. And this happened really without
4:02
Speaker 2: me realizing it. And I feel a little silly about
4:05
Speaker 2: it because there was technically a book keeping error that
4:09
Speaker 2: stopped me from realizing it. Because I have now published
4:17
Speaker 2: over fifteen hundred podcasts. You may remember when we talked
4:21
Speaker 2: about the one thousandth podcast, and it's been a while now,
4:28
Speaker 2: but I was tracking this thinking, well, i'll keep up
4:31
Speaker 2: with when we're you know, no, and I'll be able
4:33
Speaker 2: to say when we hit fifteen hundred, And it was
4:36
Speaker 2: supposed to happen this week, and then I realized I
4:39
Speaker 2: had logged the incorrect number of podcasts for one of
4:42
Speaker 2: the other shows by five, so that jumped us ahead
4:46
Speaker 2: five and this is number fifteen oh five. So today
4:51
Speaker 2: I thought it was going to be fifteen hundred, but
4:53
Speaker 2: this is actually number fifteen oh five. But anyway, the
4:58
Speaker 2: point is fifteen hundred podcasts is a lot, and however
5:03
Speaker 2: many of them you've listened to even if this is
5:06
Speaker 2: your first thank you at fifteen oh five, that's a
5:10
Speaker 2: lot made of stars. In two weeks we'll get to
5:15
Speaker 2: I guess that'll be Halloween. That'll be the two hundredth
5:19
Speaker 2: episode of that show. And of course that show began
5:22
Speaker 2: as a radio show and you know, became the podcast
5:26
Speaker 2: show that it now is much like this show. So
5:31
Speaker 2: two hundred episodes. There were approaching two hundred on the
5:34
Speaker 2: NQLN show and climbing across the board. So just excited
5:40
Speaker 2: that you're here and thank you for listening, and here's
5:45
Speaker 2: to you know, fifteen hundred more, you know, I mean,
5:48
Speaker 2: that's the way you look at it. This is fifteen hundred.
5:50
Speaker 2: This is just a step in the journey. And we're
5:52
Speaker 2: trying to talk about a variety of things on different shows,
5:58
Speaker 2: whether it's the celebrit to interviews from Dragon Con, whether
6:02
Speaker 2: it's celebrity interviews from Star Wars Celebration, whether it's different
6:06
Speaker 2: interviews that we've done politically, whatever, it is, fifteen hundred
6:12
Speaker 2: and five shows. I would love to say that it
6:14
Speaker 2: was fifteen hundred today, but no, there were definitely five
6:20
Speaker 2: more episodes of a show than I thought. There were
6:23
Speaker 2: just a bookkeeping era, and I don't know how long
6:25
Speaker 2: I've been logging it incorrectly, but anyway, here we are
6:28
Speaker 2: at fifteen oh five. Thank you for being a part
6:31
Speaker 2: of it along the way, and our sponsors that have
6:33
Speaker 2: been there on board with us along the way. Any
6:35
Speaker 2: of our advertisers, thank you as well. Couldn't do it
6:39
Speaker 2: without you, you or you listening. All of you. All right,
6:44
Speaker 2: So let's talk about Yesterday was actually the start of
6:48
Speaker 2: early voting in Georgia. In our area, Chattahoochee Valley area,
6:57
Speaker 2: in the Muskogee County area, which is consus to Blue County,
7:02
Speaker 2: part of the areas that we're having record turnouts yesterday.
7:06
Speaker 2: I would have mentioned this yesterday, but the holiday on
7:12
Speaker 2: Monday threw things off just a little bit, so my
7:16
Speaker 2: brain wasn't wrapped around the fact that, I mean, I
7:19
Speaker 2: knew it was Tuesday, but I just wasn't clued in
7:22
Speaker 2: on the beginnings of the early voting. But it's begun.
7:26
Speaker 2: I have friends that have voted. I have friends that
7:29
Speaker 2: have voted in this particularly Blue County, and they're voted red.
7:33
Speaker 2: So a lot of the stats are they're telling you
7:35
Speaker 2: out there. Some of the folks that are trying to
7:37
Speaker 2: make their early predictions. Oh, it's really active in these
7:41
Speaker 2: blue counties, and I understand what that can mean. Certainly,
7:46
Speaker 2: that can mean an advantage early on in the voting,
7:50
Speaker 2: but they don't know who people are voting for. There
7:52
Speaker 2: has definitely been a trending away from the left by
7:59
Speaker 2: a number of that typically would vote for them. So
8:05
Speaker 2: who knows what all this means. The polling nationwide is
8:09
Speaker 2: showing that it's breaking for Donald Trump right now, and
8:14
Speaker 2: by all accounts, I don't know of anything that's drastically
8:17
Speaker 2: going to change over the next Latin now less than
8:21
Speaker 2: three weeks before election day. But what I would tell
8:24
Speaker 2: you is, you know, take advantage of being able to
8:28
Speaker 2: vote early if you're able. That's the message that I
8:32
Speaker 2: would certainly say. Don't take any chances that it's going
8:36
Speaker 2: to be election day and something's going to get in
8:38
Speaker 2: the way of you being able to vote. Just get in,
8:42
Speaker 2: get your vote done, and then it's over. You've voted,
8:46
Speaker 2: you've cast your vote, and you're ready to move on
8:49
Speaker 2: and wait for the results on election day. And you
8:51
Speaker 2: don't have to stress about going to vote on election day.
8:53
Speaker 2: And I know a number of people who say I
8:57
Speaker 2: just like the purity of going on the day and
8:59
Speaker 2: it just means a lot. And that's certainly fine too.
9:02
Speaker 2: Just make sure that you go and you cast your vote.
9:05
Speaker 2: You got to do that. And I'm sorry, but I'm
9:08
Speaker 2: also not part of this mob of people that like
9:12
Speaker 2: to tell you everybody has to vote, you got to
9:16
Speaker 2: get out there and vote. I don't. I'm not That's
9:18
Speaker 2: not my message. I'd like to think that it's an
9:21
Speaker 2: informed electorate that's going out and voting, and I know
9:24
Speaker 2: that that's not the case for everybody. I do want
9:27
Speaker 2: to talk a little bit about, by the way, what's
9:29
Speaker 2: going on and why I think things are breaking for
9:33
Speaker 2: Trump here as we're getting down the stretch, down to cases,
9:37
Speaker 2: as they say, and just in conversations that I've had
9:42
Speaker 2: with people, and this is what I do. And I'll
9:45
Speaker 2: tell you this. I couldn't tell you the last time
9:48
Speaker 2: I talked to a person and they said, I'm voting
9:52
Speaker 2: for candidate X, and I say, well, you should vote
9:55
Speaker 2: for candidate Why. That's not what I do. It's not
10:00
Speaker 2: really what I do here. I mean, I scratch my
10:02
Speaker 2: head sometimes that people I know that live in North
10:05
Speaker 2: Carolina that are going to vote for the party that's
10:09
Speaker 2: kind of not taken good care of them since the hurricane.
10:13
Speaker 2: And I know people that are frustrated. You know, hey,
10:17
Speaker 2: I don't believe that my car that runs on gasoline
10:21
Speaker 2: is causing the hurricanes to be worse. But yeah, I
10:23
Speaker 2: love the environment, and I'm going to vote for you know,
10:27
Speaker 2: And I just scratched my head and I think, what
10:29
Speaker 2: are you doing? Why? Why would you do that? Yes,
10:33
Speaker 2: I believe the party that I usually vote for is
10:35
Speaker 2: lying to me right now and they've made the economy worse.
10:38
Speaker 2: But I can't wait to vote for them again. Those people,
10:40
Speaker 2: it's just baffling. But you do your things. That's who
10:46
Speaker 2: you're going to vote for. I'm not going to tell
10:47
Speaker 2: you otherwise. But I like to ask people questions like, well,
10:50
Speaker 2: why why are you voting the way that you're voting?
10:53
Speaker 2: And this is kind of a you know what I
10:56
Speaker 2: look at. There's people who vote for a candidate because
11:02
Speaker 2: they really love the candidate. They're excited about the candidate,
11:07
Speaker 2: they're fired up about who the candidate is. We saw
11:10
Speaker 2: that obviously with Barack Obama. Nobody knew anything about him,
11:14
Speaker 2: nobody knew anything about him, but they were so excited
11:18
Speaker 2: about the opportunity to vote for him. They just couldn't wait.
11:23
Speaker 2: They didn't know anything about him, nothing, He could have
11:25
Speaker 2: done anything in office, and people would have been blindsided
11:29
Speaker 2: by it, anything at all that he wanted to do.
11:32
Speaker 2: Shake up the healthcare system, you know, just shake it up.
11:38
Speaker 2: People who've met health insurance their whole lives suddenly now
11:41
Speaker 2: having to pay a lot more for it, you know,
11:43
Speaker 2: three times, four times as much just to go to
11:45
Speaker 2: the doctor. Maybe that's the kind of thing that would
11:48
Speaker 2: have happened. I know there's you know, the pre existing
11:51
Speaker 2: stuff that's good, But anyway, nobody ever said it didn't
11:54
Speaker 2: need to be healthcare didn't need to be fixed. Just
11:57
Speaker 2: didn't want to go the direction it went. But anyway,
12:00
Speaker 2: obviously some people did. Though. So people who love the candidate,
12:04
Speaker 2: they're excited about the candidate, they can't wait to put
12:07
Speaker 2: that candidate's name down when they vote. And then there's
12:10
Speaker 2: people who hate the other candidate. They hate the other
12:13
Speaker 2: candidates so much. They're terrified. They're just terrified of all
12:18
Speaker 2: the horrible things that the other candidate is going to do,
12:22
Speaker 2: and they're just they hate them, they hate them so much.
12:24
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, they can't believe that they're even breathing
12:27
Speaker 2: our oxygen. They hate them. And then you got the
12:31
Speaker 2: people who basically look at what the country needs right now.
12:35
Speaker 2: They have an assessment of, hey, maybe maybe with the
12:39
Speaker 2: inflation right now, maybe we need to make some changes
12:43
Speaker 2: to try to get the economy on tracks so that
12:46
Speaker 2: you know, we can eat. You know, we got people
12:51
Speaker 2: that really are struggling to just buy groceries. I can't.
12:55
Speaker 2: I know, this fluctuation has been going on and the
12:58
Speaker 2: nineteen point whatever, twenty percent whatever it is since inflation
13:02
Speaker 2: kicked in, and now inflation's down, and they're trying to
13:04
Speaker 2: call that a win. That just means it's not going
13:07
Speaker 2: up as much. It's already up. It's not coming back down.
13:11
Speaker 2: Prices are there. We need somebody who can get in
13:14
Speaker 2: and make some changes and fix some things, is what
13:16
Speaker 2: we need. And there's people who see it that way.
13:18
Speaker 2: There's some people who look at the needs and some
13:21
Speaker 2: people see those needs as abortion. Right, that's the need
13:25
Speaker 2: that they see. Oh, we gotta have the folks being
13:29
Speaker 2: able to eat and put food on the tables. Be damned,
13:32
Speaker 2: we have to be able to have abortion. Like that's
13:36
Speaker 2: what they see as the need right now, that's more
13:38
Speaker 2: important than recovery post COVID and whatever we're doing right now.
13:44
Speaker 2: And then the people who just vote party lines no
13:47
Speaker 2: matter what right, the people that just vote party lines,
13:51
Speaker 2: they're always going to vote D, They're always gonna vote R,
13:53
Speaker 2: They're always going to vote you know, I or G
13:56
Speaker 2: or L. Well, and there's people that do that. They
14:00
Speaker 2: don't care that their vote might have an actual influence
14:03
Speaker 2: in the election otherwise, they just want to They do
14:06
Speaker 2: that principled while I'm going to vote for some independent
14:10
Speaker 2: candidate because that makes me feel better about myself. And
14:12
Speaker 2: I've not done it to make me feel better about myself.
14:14
Speaker 2: I've done it in past elections when I thought, well,
14:18
Speaker 2: I feel like the party that probably needs my vote
14:24
Speaker 2: needs to win, maybe doesn't need my vote so much.
14:27
Speaker 2: And I can cast this independent, this libertarian vote as
14:31
Speaker 2: a principal vote, but not risk spoiling the whole election
14:34
Speaker 2: when it's going to be close. I don't know that
14:37
Speaker 2: the principal votes are doing anything but hurting a candidate
14:40
Speaker 2: and helping the other one based on whoever the independent
14:43
Speaker 2: that you're voting for is. So let's do this. Let's
14:46
Speaker 2: just kind of say the people who vote party lines.
14:50
Speaker 2: We can just kind of draw a line through those.
14:53
Speaker 2: Those people are going to vote how they're going to vote,
14:55
Speaker 2: no matter what. Those aren't the people that the candidates
14:58
Speaker 2: are seeking out right now. I would like to point out, though,
15:02
Speaker 2: that there are people and right now this will apply
15:06
Speaker 2: on if Nicky Haley were the candidate. This would certainly
15:08
Speaker 2: apply for both. But there are and I know some
15:12
Speaker 2: I know some folks that won't vote for a woman,
15:16
Speaker 2: some Democrat voters that will not vote for Kamala Harris
15:19
Speaker 2: because she's a woman, and they don't believe that that's
15:22
Speaker 2: the right thing to do. They didn't vote for Hillary Clinton.
15:25
Speaker 2: They're not going to vote for Kamala Harris. They're going
15:26
Speaker 2: to vote for Donald Trump. They believe they should vote
15:29
Speaker 2: because you're supposed to vote, and they believe that a
15:32
Speaker 2: man should be running the country. Those people still exist.
15:36
Speaker 2: Don't pretend that they don't. That's a small number, I'm sure,
15:40
Speaker 2: but they exist. But just keep in mind that there's
15:42
Speaker 2: a percentage of them out there. Okay, so let's look
15:46
Speaker 2: at the other things. Let's look at people who hate
15:53
Speaker 2: a candidate. Right. I think that there are a number
15:58
Speaker 2: of people who can't stand Kamala Harris. There's people on
16:02
Speaker 2: the Democrat side that don't like her, right, Joe Biden
16:06
Speaker 2: may very well be one of them that's been going
16:08
Speaker 2: after her kind of on the sly, But there's people
16:12
Speaker 2: who don't like her. There's a lot more people that
16:15
Speaker 2: don't like Donald Trump on the left that you know,
16:19
Speaker 2: than there are, I think people on the right who
16:20
Speaker 2: hate Kamala Harris. I think the big thing here is
16:24
Speaker 2: the obstacle that the left was always going to have
16:27
Speaker 2: with Kamala Harris, is that there's a lot of people
16:29
Speaker 2: who love Donald Trump on the right. I love him,
16:33
Speaker 2: and there's a growing number of independents that certainly find
16:37
Speaker 2: him more likable than Harris. But there's a number of
16:42
Speaker 2: independents who also think he's a tyrant and evil and
16:46
Speaker 2: the devil, because that's what the media has been telling
16:48
Speaker 2: them for all these years. So but I think there's
16:52
Speaker 2: a lot more people that love him, I don't think,
16:55
Speaker 2: than Harris. Let me maybe very clear in that he
17:00
Speaker 2: has this contingency, this fire got. He's closer to the
17:05
Speaker 2: Obama sizzle factor, right, He's got his own sizzle factor.
17:09
Speaker 2: They call him the most popular man in the world right,
17:13
Speaker 2: he's more popular than Taylor Swift for crying out loud.
17:17
Speaker 2: So those are both factors to play into this, and
17:20
Speaker 2: I think that ultimately that doesn't bode well for Harris.
17:24
Speaker 2: There's just no one is really overly excited about her,
17:28
Speaker 2: not many, and then the people who vote on needs,
17:32
Speaker 2: and it comes down to what do you think the
17:33
Speaker 2: needs are and the economy the border are still the
17:37
Speaker 2: top needs. Gap may be closing a little bit on
17:40
Speaker 2: who they think can handle it. I don't know, but
17:43
Speaker 2: when Harris is sending someone like Bill Clinton out to
17:46
Speaker 2: be an advocate for her campaign, when she's sending out
17:48
Speaker 2: Barack Obama to be an advocate, it says that they're
17:52
Speaker 2: a little concerned as the numbers are starting to slip
17:54
Speaker 2: away from him, and that's what's starting to happen. Bill Clinton,
17:58
Speaker 2: by the way, prop to him for acknowledging the thing
18:01
Speaker 2: that the left has not wanted to acknowledge and the
18:04
Speaker 2: right has vetting migrants and you know, illegals coming in
18:09
Speaker 2: the country. Properly vetting them would have saved lives, including
18:13
Speaker 2: Lake and Riley. Thanks to Bill Clinton for pointing that out.
18:17
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that they have probably been very quickly
18:21
Speaker 2: benched him for coming out, and I don't know is
18:25
Speaker 2: he's still out doing things. I mean, that was a big,
18:27
Speaker 2: big gaff. That was a big oops for them on
18:31
Speaker 2: the left. I mean, he came out and said it.
18:33
Speaker 2: A lot of people have been thinking it. He came
18:35
Speaker 2: out and just outright said it. Hey got to be
18:38
Speaker 2: vetting these people. Yes, that's what Trump and the folks
18:43
Speaker 2: on the right have been saying. You have to vet them.
18:45
Speaker 2: You can't just let them in do whatever they want.
18:48
Speaker 2: So I think based on just kind of that fluctuation
18:51
Speaker 2: where we're seeing that there's still the people who love Trump,
18:55
Speaker 2: there's people who maybe don't love him, but they're going
18:58
Speaker 2: to vote for him because they see the economic needs. Now,
19:01
Speaker 2: I'm not telling you. I don't make predictions. I can't
19:04
Speaker 2: tell you who's gonna win. I don't know. I'm not
19:08
Speaker 2: very good at predicting it. I'm just telling you why
19:10
Speaker 2: I think the polls are going the direction that they are,
19:13
Speaker 2: and that could be a big sign, and it could
19:16
Speaker 2: be you know, really things pointing in that direction based
19:21
Speaker 2: on some of these trends, at least with these particular areas.
19:26
Speaker 2: This is what the people that I've talked to are saying,
19:30
Speaker 2: and for the most part, even the ones don't really
19:33
Speaker 2: like Trump. They don't hate him, but they don't like him,
19:36
Speaker 2: but they liked five years ago when they had more
19:39
Speaker 2: money in their budgets for their homes and could feed
19:42
Speaker 2: their families better. Today's show brought to you by Coloma

Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to

Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
22:08
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
22:10
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
22:13
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
22:17
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
22:20
Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or
22:23
Speaker 2: warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
22:27

Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,

22:44
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
22:45
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
22:48
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
22:51
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
22:54
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
22:57
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
23:00
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,
23:03
Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O
23:07
Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after
23:11
Speaker 2: the break, Well, there's a new trend on social media
23:23
Speaker 2: where people are getting a head start on their New
23:27
Speaker 2: Year's resolutions, and they basically are spending at least some
23:32
Speaker 2: of October, uh, November, and December getting a three month
23:36
Speaker 2: head start on trying to live a little healthier and
23:40
Speaker 2: trying to get things on track. Look, you know this,
23:43
Speaker 2: good luck, this is not an easy time. And if
23:46
Speaker 2: you've got the discipline to not eat a lot of
23:50
Speaker 2: sweets over the holidays, if you've got the discipline not
23:53
Speaker 2: to drink a lot over the holidays and be active
23:57
Speaker 2: in the colder weather months, great, that's you're getting a
24:01
Speaker 2: great head start on all of that, because obviously, you know,
24:08
Speaker 2: the reason a lot of people start exercising and dieting
24:14
Speaker 2: and all that in January is because they've been so
24:16
Speaker 2: bad over these last three months. And you know, October,
24:22
Speaker 2: maybe some of these kind of suites that come in
24:25
Speaker 2: late in the month especially by the time you get
24:27
Speaker 2: to Halloween. I think Thanksgiving is obviously a big one.
24:31
Speaker 2: People really overeat and they start doing football gatherings and
24:35
Speaker 2: get togethers and things, and obviously Christmas really trips people up.
24:39
Speaker 2: So hey, I you know, good luck if that's something
24:43
Speaker 2: that you're going to do. I definitely think there is
24:47
Speaker 2: a there could be some good in doing this. You're
24:52
Speaker 2: just gonna have to have a lot of discipline and
24:55
Speaker 2: be very you know, they've already got those little Debbie
24:57
Speaker 2: Christmas trees out for crying out loud. I saw those
25:00
Speaker 2: in the store yesterday and I thought, h it's just
25:04
Speaker 2: too early to start, that, isn't it. But they'll be
25:06
Speaker 2: gone soon. They don't last very long. Where do you
25:09
Speaker 2: go for financial advice if you're a gen Z or millennial,
25:12
Speaker 2: The answer is social media. A new survey found almost
25:15
Speaker 2: eighty percent of millennial and gen Z respondents said they
25:18
Speaker 2: get financial advice from social media platforms like TikTok. Yeah
25:22
Speaker 2: that's what you want, Let China tell you tell you
25:25
Speaker 2: exactly how to Sixty two percent of gen Z er
25:28
Speaker 2: say they turn to TikTok learn about money matters by
25:32
Speaker 2: so called influencers or finfluencers. Financial influencers. I guess that's
25:36
Speaker 2: not particularly China, but you know, you get the idea.
25:39
Speaker 2: Of course, it could be concerning some critics saying that
25:43
Speaker 2: there are some credible financial advisors out there, but there
25:46
Speaker 2: are also some shady ones, some bad advice, and some
25:51
Speaker 2: potential scams out there, so just be careful. There's people
25:55
Speaker 2: calling for regulatory oversight for some of these finfluencers because
26:02
Speaker 2: of those potential dangers. All right. A British professor named
26:07
Speaker 2: Simon Holland is promising a major announcement regarding extraterrestrial life
26:11
Speaker 2: in the coming weeks. Holland, who has collaborated with NASA
26:15
Speaker 2: on a variety of projects, says that an alien civilization
26:18
Speaker 2: has been found in our galaxy and will be confirmed
26:21
Speaker 2: very soon in what he believes to be the biggest
26:24
Speaker 2: announcement in the history of the world. He suggests the
26:26
Speaker 2: announcement could coincide with the US election. Okay, I promise
26:33
Speaker 2: you if there's any credibility to any of this, we'll
26:36
Speaker 2: be covering it on the Mative Stars podcast, Just letting
26:39
Speaker 2: you know this is one of those things that's clickbait,
26:42
Speaker 2: and just know that you know you got to approach
26:46
Speaker 2: all this with some heavy skepticism. All right, there's no
26:53
Speaker 2: official age limit on enjoying Halloween. There's not really an
26:58
Speaker 2: official age limit on when's too old to go trigger treating.
27:03
Speaker 2: Different people have different opinions though, on what's too old
27:06
Speaker 2: to go knocking on doors wanting candy. Some cities, though,
27:11
Speaker 2: have issued ordinances saying fourteen sixteen. But I mean, I
27:18
Speaker 2: really think it also depends on the kid, doesn't it.
27:22
Speaker 2: There was a poll that was done About half of
27:24
Speaker 2: American adults polled said forty six percent say you're never
27:27
Speaker 2: too old to trigger treat. Nineteen percent set age fifteen
27:30
Speaker 2: or sixteen is the age to stop, sixteen percent set
27:34
Speaker 2: around seventeen or eighteen. One percent said they don't want
27:36
Speaker 2: anyone over the age of nine knocking on the door.
27:40
Speaker 2: That seems like a very early cut off, you know. Nine.
27:47
Speaker 2: KFC is getting some attention for a new dessert item
27:50
Speaker 2: on the menu, but not really for the reason they
27:54
Speaker 2: were hoping. The Fried Chicken chain introduced tiny, bite sized
27:58
Speaker 2: cherry pie nuggets called cherry Pie Poppers, available in counts
28:04
Speaker 2: of four or ten. While everyone seems to be an
28:07
Speaker 2: agreement of how delicious the cherry Pie Poppers sound many
28:12
Speaker 2: cringing over the rather suggestive name that comes along with it. Yeah,
28:19
Speaker 2: that was the first thing I thought when I saw it,
28:21
Speaker 2: So I'm glad I'm not the only one that went
28:24
Speaker 2: there immediately. But yeah, that's not a good idea for
28:30
Speaker 2: a name. Hey, we mentioned the fact that Halloween time
28:34
Speaker 2: is a good time to, you know, watch horror movies. Well,
28:40
Speaker 2: Forbes magazine put out a list of the ten best
28:43
Speaker 2: frightening movies streaming on Netflix that you could watch leading
28:48
Speaker 2: up to Halloween. It follows Wija, is it Oija or Oija?
28:54
Speaker 2: Under the Shadow, Psycho, Pearl as above, so below the
28:59
Speaker 2: Wailing Alone, the Perfection, and Backcountry. I haven't seen if.
29:04
Speaker 2: I mean I've seen Psycho. I don't know that I've
29:08
Speaker 2: seen the rest any of those others. I'm a little
29:11
Speaker 2: behind on some of these things. It follows I don't know.
29:15
Speaker 2: I don't know what will be the top of my
29:16
Speaker 2: list on there. Probably just watch Psycho again. That'll do
29:19
Speaker 2: it for this Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks to
