Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews you need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, eighteenth day of March. I'm west thanks for
- 0:18Speaker 2: joining me. Powering through the month of March, hitting our
- 0:24Speaker 2: last little snap of cold. I guess maybe we'll have
- 0:27Speaker 2: a little bit of maybe milder, but this is probably
- 0:32Speaker 2: the last little stretch of cold we're going to get.
- 0:34Speaker 2: So enjoy it. If you are into that kind of thing.
- 0:36Speaker 2: If you're one of those sick weirdos like my lovely
- 0:40Speaker 2: wife who loves the hot weather, well cherish it and
- 0:45Speaker 2: celebrate that your time is running out of colder weather.
- 0:50Speaker 2: And my wife, it's not so much that she's a sicko.
- 0:52Speaker 2: I know everybody has their story. I'm not accusing that.
- 0:55Speaker 2: I'm just pointing out the fact that I think the
- 0:59Speaker 2: people who I really love just the boiling hot weather
- 1:03Speaker 2: or the sickos. Now, she was born and raised and
- 1:08Speaker 2: until she moved here, lived in the tropics. She's not
- 1:12Speaker 2: used to any of this cold weather, not in the
- 1:15Speaker 2: part of Australia. She's from so and she's my wife.
- 1:19Speaker 2: I'm not gonna call her a sicico, but you get
- 1:21Speaker 2: where I'm going with this. You know, I almost stepped
- 1:24Speaker 2: in it and then I dodged it. That's what I did. No,
- 1:28Speaker 2: she and I have completely opposite feelings when it comes
- 1:30Speaker 2: to the weather, and she thinks I'm a weird sicko
- 1:32Speaker 2: because I like the cold weather. And it's just that's
- 1:34Speaker 2: our yin and yang when it comes to the weather,
- 1:37Speaker 2: and I don't fault for wanting it to be. And
- 1:41Speaker 2: there's good things about warm weather. There's things that you
- 1:43Speaker 2: can do in warm weather that you can't really do
- 1:45Speaker 2: in cold weather. I like to go swimming, I like
- 1:49Speaker 2: to you know, I like to go to the beach.
- 1:51Speaker 2: I'm not really I'm not really getting the ocean. I'll
- 1:54Speaker 2: get in the ocean, but it's not really my favorite.
- 1:57Speaker 2: But half of my family likes it and the other
- 2:00Speaker 2: half to you know, we'll just sit in the chairs,
- 2:04Speaker 2: that's all we'll do. Or we'll take a walk on
- 2:06Speaker 2: the beach. As Jake and I, you know, we're just
- 2:08Speaker 2: not really saltwater people. We'd rather go hang out at
- 2:12Speaker 2: the pool. That's what we'd rather do. We don't mind
- 2:15Speaker 2: sitting there in the chair. We don't mind, you know,
- 2:18Speaker 2: go for a walk, you know, do some bird watching.
- 2:23Speaker 2: You catch my drup. We'll do some of that, but
- 2:25Speaker 2: you know we're not or we're not so much seagulls.
- 2:30Speaker 2: That is what I'm talking about. So this is the
- 2:33Speaker 2: last nap of that. I hope if you celebrated Saint
- 2:36Speaker 2: Patrick's Day, it was a good one for you. I
- 2:39Speaker 2: know we have to always put those, we have to
- 2:42Speaker 2: a little preamblance. I don't know why we have to
- 2:46Speaker 2: do that. If you're celebrating, I hope you had a
- 2:48Speaker 2: good thanks it was just you had a good day yesterday.
- 2:51Speaker 2: How about that. A lot of people celebrate, even the
- 2:56Speaker 2: non Irish. Basically, it was estimated about half of the
- 2:59Speaker 2: Mayakins celebrated yesterday, About twenty percent attend at a party,
- 3:05Speaker 2: twenty nine percent went to a bar. That's the estimation
- 3:08Speaker 2: on this is by the numbers. I guess about eighty
- 3:14Speaker 2: percent of those that celebrated wore green yesterday. That's about
- 3:19Speaker 2: the breakdown of how it all works. Average number of
- 3:22Speaker 2: drinks consumed per person about four point two typically for
- 3:26Speaker 2: Saint Patrick's Day for this year, that's estimated what was
- 3:28Speaker 2: done yesterday. Thirty one percent cooked special meal. Some of
- 3:33Speaker 2: these things I didn't go to a bar. I didn't
- 3:35Speaker 2: go to a pub. I did wear green, I did
- 3:39Speaker 2: cook a special meal. I cooked a couple of things.
- 3:41Speaker 2: I do soda bread every year, best batch of soda
- 3:44Speaker 2: bread I've ever made, and not my best Chevherd's five.
- 3:49Speaker 2: But we did that and it was it was fine.
- 3:50Speaker 2: We ate it, kids liked it. That's all you want.
- 3:52Speaker 2: You want a meal that your teenagers are going to
- 3:54Speaker 2: eat and get full and then look forward to dessert.
- 3:57Speaker 2: So we did all that and pretty much listened to
- 4:01Speaker 2: you know, Irish pub music all day long, all day long.
- 4:05Speaker 2: I cannot I can't tell you how much others I
- 4:09Speaker 2: like it, and I'm probably gonna listen to it today,
- 4:11Speaker 2: so sue me. You know, I just like it, that's all.
- 4:16Speaker 2: And they say thirty one and a half million Americans
- 4:19Speaker 2: claim some Irish heritage. German is in second place to that,
- 4:24Speaker 2: and there's six point four times as many people in
- 4:28Speaker 2: Germany as in Ireland. So you know, do the math
- 4:32Speaker 2: on that, how that works. And just in case you
- 4:36Speaker 2: were wondering, eleven cities, towns and townships named dub one
- 4:40Speaker 2: in America, if you were wondering that, over the course
- 4:43Speaker 2: of the day yesterday, a lot of folks drank guinness
- 4:49Speaker 2: and I did not little just a little whiskey, like
- 4:55Speaker 2: maybe two fingers of whiskey last night, you know, just
- 4:59Speaker 2: enough to celebrate relax a little bit after. And I
- 5:03Speaker 2: did soda bread for dessert yesterday. So that was kind
- 5:06Speaker 2: of the breakdown on that. So anyway, so I want
- 5:09Speaker 2: to talk a little bit about this guy who is
- 5:13Speaker 2: I have concerns about where things may be headed for
- 5:18Speaker 2: him because in some ways, and I don't want to
- 5:22Speaker 2: do a direct equation, right, I don't want to do
- 5:26Speaker 2: that because it's what he does is different, and I
- 5:29Speaker 2: don't want to do a direct comparison, But I do
- 5:32Speaker 2: want to just draw on the fact that I think
- 5:35Speaker 2: some of the things that are starting to happen maybe
- 5:38Speaker 2: have the same feel as Charlie Kirk. What he does
- 5:43Speaker 2: is different. It's not the same as Charlie Kirk. But
- 5:47Speaker 2: in some ways, if you're really talking about looking for
- 5:50Speaker 2: truth and having conversations and getting answers to things, then
- 5:54Speaker 2: you could make that case. But I'm talking about Nick Shirley. Now,
- 5:58Speaker 2: I am not always a strong advocate for the I
- 6:02Speaker 2: have a camera, so I'm gonna go be a journalist,
- 6:07Speaker 2: you know, there's people like that. There's too much of
- 6:09Speaker 2: that in the country. What I think this guy, Nick
- 6:13Speaker 2: Shirley is doing is more than that, because he's actually
- 6:18Speaker 2: having the guts to go to places and ask questions
- 6:20Speaker 2: that most people just aren't paying attention to. They're either
- 6:23Speaker 2: ignoring it or not paying any attention to it. Now,
- 6:26Speaker 2: if you're thinking, well, I know the name Nick Shirley,
- 6:28Speaker 2: but I don't know that I could place him, this
- 6:30Speaker 2: is the guy who exposed the fraud in Minnesota. He's
- 6:34Speaker 2: the one who went to the daycares and said, where
- 6:36Speaker 2: are the kids? You know, he actually had the receipts.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Here's how much money you were given to run a daycare.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Where's the daycare? Where are the kids? Where's the toys?
- 6:48Speaker 2: Where's the I don't hear any laughter and playing? And then,
- 6:51Speaker 2: in one particular instance, famously now, he went to it
- 6:55Speaker 2: and he asked, and they said, uh, you know, we
- 6:58Speaker 2: don't know what you're talking about. And then they just
- 6:59Speaker 2: ran off. And then they followed up with a statement
- 7:03Speaker 2: to the press that said, we're on a break. This
- 7:07Speaker 2: is a holiday break for us, and we're not here
- 7:11Speaker 2: and you know, the kids are out this week, and
- 7:15Speaker 2: then they invited the press to come back like the
- 7:17Speaker 2: next day, and then the press showed up and there
- 7:19Speaker 2: were kids there. Magically, out of nowhere, there were just
- 7:22Speaker 2: kids there. And I don't know how you just they
- 7:25Speaker 2: just cut their brake short. I guess I don't know
- 7:27Speaker 2: what they did. They had no real explanation for why
- 7:29Speaker 2: the why the break was going on, and then suddenly
- 7:33Speaker 2: they were back. It was like over Christmas too, I think,
- 7:35Speaker 2: or whatever, And it's just what I don't get it.
- 7:37Speaker 2: I don't get how that worked. But anyway, he's doing
- 7:40Speaker 2: good work. He's exposing fraud and obviously without him, I
- 7:44Speaker 2: don't know that the fraud in Minnesota would have been exposed.
- 7:49Speaker 2: So and you start talking about billions of dollars in
- 7:53Speaker 2: fraud right away, there should be some concerns for his security.
- 7:59Speaker 2: I think you should be aware of the fact that
- 8:03Speaker 2: you just have to have things on your mind. I would,
- 8:07Speaker 2: and it's one of the reasons that this takes guts
- 8:09Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk to sit at a school and talk to
- 8:12Speaker 2: people and know I mean, he had security in those situations,
- 8:17Speaker 2: but just to know there was always a possibility something
- 8:20Speaker 2: horrible could happen, and he was able to you know,
- 8:25Speaker 2: do what he did for as long as he did
- 8:27Speaker 2: before the most horrific thing that could have happened to
- 8:29Speaker 2: him happened. And I just worry about the situation when
- 8:36Speaker 2: Nick sure, and I'm going to get to the exact
- 8:38Speaker 2: reason why I have concerns about it. So he did this,
- 8:43Speaker 2: they have been investigating, they've been asking questions. Now he
- 8:48Speaker 2: is working on exposing some fraud in California. Now, when
- 8:56Speaker 2: you get to this early stage of it, then it's
- 9:00Speaker 2: now people know who he is. This isn't a surprise.
- 9:03Speaker 2: If he shows up somewhere and he's asking questions, they
- 9:06Speaker 2: know who he is. And now they have demonized him.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Now he is the enemy because he's, you know, exposing things.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Once you start hitting people financially, that's when you should
- 9:22Speaker 2: be concerned. When you're hitting them for finance, when you're
- 9:25Speaker 2: hitting them for control, when you're hitting them like they're
- 9:29Speaker 2: political aspirations, when you're shutting down someone's eventual like well
- 9:34Speaker 2: I was destined to be the first female president. You know,
- 9:36Speaker 2: those kinds of things. When you hit people in that area,
- 9:41Speaker 2: that's when you need to be concerned, Right, That's when
- 9:44Speaker 2: you got to be like, oh, this is not good.
- 9:48Speaker 2: So the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, who, in spite
- 9:53Speaker 2: of saying I'm not running for president, I have no
- 9:56Speaker 2: political aspirations, he said that in the past, is obviously
- 9:59Speaker 2: planning to run for president. There's no doubt that he's
- 10:01Speaker 2: going to do that in a couple of years. That's
- 10:03Speaker 2: where things are headed. I think it would be incredibly
- 10:07Speaker 2: foolish of us to for him to get nominated. I
- 10:11Speaker 2: think it would be ridiculously foolish for him to get
- 10:17Speaker 2: to be the president. I think it just it's like
- 10:21Speaker 2: the new mayor of New York, I mean, Zora Mom
- 10:25Speaker 2: Donnie is like he's he's ready to raise taxes because
- 10:30Speaker 2: he's got to pay for these things. And you got
- 10:31Speaker 2: people that are already going, Nope, I'm not going to
- 10:34Speaker 2: be here. I'm not going to do business here. I'm
- 10:35Speaker 2: not going to live here. You're not taking my money
- 10:38Speaker 2: to pay for these things that should have never been
- 10:41Speaker 2: on anyone's BINGO card, for things that they thought they
- 10:45Speaker 2: could accomplish as mayor of New York. All right, So,
- 10:49Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom, because.
- 10:53Speaker 1: You have.
- 10:55Speaker 2: This desire for Nick Shirley to go in and say
- 10:58Speaker 2: we want to show you what's going one on now
- 11:00Speaker 2: in some other states. Gaven Newsen posted on the sixteenth,
- 11:05Speaker 2: two days ago on x a picture of a guy
- 11:11Speaker 2: like a real creepy, pale kind of I mean, he
- 11:14Speaker 2: looks almost like he just came out of the ground,
- 11:17Speaker 2: almost like he's like a dead body that's just come
- 11:20Speaker 2: out of the ground. I mean, he's not supposed to
- 11:22Speaker 2: be dead, but he's pale. He's got dark circles under
- 11:26Speaker 2: his eyes. That's the only way I could describe him
- 11:30Speaker 2: is that he looks kind of like the undead. I mean,
- 11:32Speaker 2: he's not quite a zombie, but he just has this
- 11:34Speaker 2: real pale look about him. And he's standing in like
- 11:40Speaker 2: a doorway talking to the back of someone's head and
- 11:44Speaker 2: it's not him, but it's supposed to be him. I
- 11:46Speaker 2: don't know if this is an AI thing or what
- 11:47Speaker 2: this is. Behind him, you can see the word daycare
- 11:52Speaker 2: written out in different colored letters, spelled correctly, so you
- 11:56Speaker 2: know it's not one of the quote unquote daycares in
- 12:00Speaker 2: in Minneapolis. And then he's got I don't know what about,
- 12:04Speaker 2: you know, ten twelve cameras all attached to him, one
- 12:07Speaker 2: on top of his head, body cameras all around him,
- 12:11Speaker 2: They're just lots of cameras and Newsom posted that two
- 12:16Speaker 2: days ago with Nick Shirley right now and says, hey,
- 12:20Speaker 2: can I see your kids? Is what it says for
- 12:22Speaker 2: that he's saying to the woman. So he says, this
- 12:24Speaker 2: is Nick Shirley right now. Now. This is where I
- 12:27Speaker 2: get concerned because this is where we're painting this picture.
- 12:30Speaker 2: We have this imagery of him almost kind of looking
- 12:33Speaker 2: like a corpse, and then there and I don't know
- 12:36Speaker 2: that that's intended, but that's it certainly seems to be intended,
- 12:41Speaker 2: and all the cameras and so we've were naming him
- 12:43Speaker 2: to be the evil one. He's the villain in this scenario. Right.
- 12:49Speaker 2: He's going in and he's asking questions about the daycares
- 12:54Speaker 2: and instead of him saying where are the kids in
- 12:58Speaker 2: the cartoon, he says, hey, can I see your kids?
- 13:00Speaker 2: Like he's a creepy pervert, right. Nick Shirley's response on
- 13:06Speaker 2: X you do realize I'm trying to help America eliminate
- 13:08Speaker 2: fraud and waste, right, No need to try to make
- 13:10Speaker 2: me look like the bad guy for exposing fraud. People
- 13:14Speaker 2: are over it. Start working for the people and not
- 13:16Speaker 2: against them. Boom. It's over somewhere in the two hundred
- 13:22Speaker 2: and fifty thousand likes in the responses for this and comments,
- 13:28Speaker 2: thousands of replies. And I don't understand unless they're trying to,
- 13:37Speaker 2: you know, encourage something bad to happen him. Why would
- 13:40Speaker 2: you do this? What is the purpose in this other
- 13:44Speaker 2: than to say, hey, fraud is good, don't take away
- 13:49Speaker 2: some of our little side incomes. And that's what they
- 13:52Speaker 2: did to Elon Musk. They couldn't get to him, but
- 13:56Speaker 2: you know, burning people's Tesla's and everything bad that could
- 13:59Speaker 2: possible happened at a Tesla dealership or to a car
- 14:02Speaker 2: happened to one, with people, you know, trying to blow
- 14:06Speaker 2: up Tesla dealerships and all that. So all because he
- 14:12Speaker 2: was exposing fraud. And now we have someone else exposing fraud.
- 14:17Speaker 2: James Woods, the actor on Twitter, said this guy is
- 14:19Speaker 2: classic grassroots patriot About Shirley, He says, if this were
- 14:25Speaker 2: seventeen seventy six, he would be signing the declaration. He
- 14:28Speaker 2: should be lauded by every American except the fraudsters, which
- 14:31Speaker 2: of course is why Democrats loathe him. Yeah, I'm I'm
- 14:38Speaker 2: just concerned, and I'm just worried that he's going to
- 14:43Speaker 2: be put in a situation where these people are trying
- 14:47Speaker 2: to have something happen to him. That's what I think,
- 14:50Speaker 2: that's my opinion. Like they seem to want like they're
- 14:54Speaker 2: not saying it out loud, but it's almost like they're
- 14:57Speaker 2: wishing it. Fingers crossed, eyes closed. He was looking for
- 15:00Speaker 2: the first star of the night. Whatever it is that
- 15:02Speaker 2: they do, however they perform these these little routines, whatever
- 15:09Speaker 2: it is that they do. And this was just before
- 15:13Speaker 2: I guess Sureley posted on YouTube I investigated California's billion
- 15:17Speaker 2: dollar fraud crisis. So I guess we're in the early
- 15:21Speaker 2: stages of this. We'll see where all of this goes.
- 15:25Speaker 2: But he says it's a bigger fraud in California than
- 15:31Speaker 2: in Minnesota. In this post, he said, we had covered
- 15:36Speaker 2: over one hundred and seventy million dollars in fraud. As
- 15:40Speaker 2: these frousters live in luxury with no consequences like and
- 15:44Speaker 2: share it. The fraud must stop. So we will see
- 15:49Speaker 2: exactly what he has and what he is going to expose.
- 15:58Speaker 2: We're going to find out exactly what it is. And
- 16:01Speaker 2: of course, with shots like this fired by Gavin Newsom,
- 16:07Speaker 2: You're making somebody nervous, and we know what the potential
- 16:11Speaker 2: is when you make people nervous. That's what I'm concerned about,
- 16:15Speaker 2: and I think he needs to be taking his security very,
- 16:18Speaker 2: very seriously. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State

- 18:12Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
- 18:15Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
- 18:22Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
- 18:25Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
- 18:28Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
- 18:32Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,

- 18:37Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 18:44Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 18:46Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 18:49Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 18:53Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insallation
- 18:56Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, some
- 19:00Speaker 2: times that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're
- 19:03Speaker 2: looking at a situation where you'd like to add a
- 19:05Speaker 2: screen door to your garage door system that you can
- 19:08Speaker 2: put down and you can use your garage space as
- 19:12Speaker 2: a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you
- 19:14Speaker 2: like to work on your own cars in there, or
- 19:16Speaker 2: maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd like
- 19:19Speaker 2: to be able to open the door up and not
- 19:21Speaker 2: invite all the insects in. They can do that for
- 19:24Speaker 2: you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
- 19:27Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
- 19:29Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
- 19:32Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do

- 19:46Speaker 2: right after the break well, Samsung has reportedly pulled the
- 19:58Speaker 2: plug or will be pulling the plug, I guess. On
- 20:00Speaker 2: the ambitious Galaxy Z trifle phone three months after its debut.
- 20:07Speaker 2: It pretty cool looking. It just came with a twenty
- 20:10Speaker 2: nine hundred dollars price tag, and it could very well
- 20:13Speaker 2: become a collector's item because it does not seem that
- 20:16Speaker 2: they're going to go back and produce any more of
- 20:19Speaker 2: these things. So if you've got one, first of all,
- 20:23Speaker 2: can I hold a dollar? I mean, you got money
- 20:26Speaker 2: for the three grand phone? Just kind of borrow a dollar,
- 20:32Speaker 2: That's all I want to know. But second of all,
- 20:35Speaker 2: if you got one, hang on to it could be
- 20:37Speaker 2: worth a lot of money. I would probably start using
- 20:39Speaker 2: something else because it's probably worth significantly more to you
- 20:45Speaker 2: not using it than it is by using it, you know,
- 20:49Speaker 2: And you could probably get you know, wait a couple
- 20:52Speaker 2: of months, and you could probably sell the thing and
- 20:54Speaker 2: make some money off of it, especially if yours is working,
- 20:57Speaker 2: and it's working fine. I don't know what the reason was,
- 20:59Speaker 2: but a new Cleveland Clinic study offers some good news
- 21:03Speaker 2: for anyone nervous about stopping ozempic or any of those
- 21:06Speaker 2: glp IE meds. Researchers looked at nearly eight thousand adults
- 21:11Speaker 2: and found that people who quit either of those drugs
- 21:16Speaker 2: any of those drugs, gained back less than one percent
- 21:18Speaker 2: of their body weight on average over the following year.
- 21:21Speaker 2: That's quite a far cry from the dramatic rebound that
- 21:24Speaker 2: many feared. More than half of participants did regain some weight,
- 21:29Speaker 2: but the increases were generally small, and many people either
- 21:32Speaker 2: maintain their weight or kept losing. Experts think the trend
- 21:36Speaker 2: may be because patients transition to other treatments or resume
- 21:39Speaker 2: the medication later. Overall, though, quitting doesn't automatically mean that
- 21:43Speaker 2: you will go back to square one, so that's good.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Most diets or diet you know systems, you stop doing
- 21:51Speaker 2: it and you put it back on. I'm sure of it.
- 21:54Speaker 2: Over some time you could put it back on, but
- 21:58Speaker 2: it's good news that it doesn't over the course of
- 22:00Speaker 2: the first year. That's a good sign. Well with everyone
- 22:05Speaker 2: you know, in various stages of recovery from the economy,
- 22:12Speaker 2: and some people you know, burnout, overstimulated, and just basically
- 22:19Speaker 2: saying I don't have the money or the energy to
- 22:22Speaker 2: go do fancy things, you know, as far as their plans.
- 22:26Speaker 2: So what's in now is admin nights, chore hangs, body doubling.
- 22:30Speaker 2: You simply work alongside someone else from motivation. Instead of
- 22:34Speaker 2: pricey dinners or big nights out, friends are bonding over
- 22:37Speaker 2: everyday stuff, running errands, tackling paperwork, knocking out chores at home.
- 22:42Speaker 2: Sixty nine percent of people saying that money affects their
- 22:45Speaker 2: social plans, fifty six percent admit they've skipped events because
- 22:49Speaker 2: of cost. These low effort hangs are becoming the new
- 22:52Speaker 2: way to stay connected. I'm mentioning this because I have
- 22:58Speaker 2: been doing this and not knowing that it's a thing. Okay,
- 23:04Speaker 2: so this is and this is. I have one of
- 23:07Speaker 2: my very very dear close friends who does not like
- 23:12Speaker 2: to go shopping by herself. I can go by myself,
- 23:17Speaker 2: but it's more fun to go like hang out with somebody, right,
- 23:20Speaker 2: So we have like a weekly shopping routine that we do,
- 23:23Speaker 2: and we go when we shop. That's this, that's what
- 23:26Speaker 2: they're talking about. Ad Midnight's chore hangs, body doubling any
- 23:31Speaker 2: of those terms for it. I don't know which is
- 23:33Speaker 2: the best one for it. But it's just kind of
- 23:36Speaker 2: our appointment hangout once a week. We sometimes hang out
- 23:38Speaker 2: other times, but Jill doesn't like to shop. I do
- 23:42Speaker 2: our shopping, like as far as food shopping, so it's
- 23:47Speaker 2: typically built in for me to be the one to
- 23:49Speaker 2: go do it. And then my friend also, you know,
- 23:52Speaker 2: just doesn't like to go by herself, so she's got
- 23:54Speaker 2: to do her shopping. So we just go and we
- 23:56Speaker 2: hang out and we have fun. It's a hang while
- 24:00Speaker 2: we get our work done. So I didn't know this
- 24:02Speaker 2: was a thing. So this is what we're doing, chore hangs.
- 24:04Speaker 2: I guess that's the best one for it. I don't know.
- 24:08Speaker 2: So apparently if you let go of a grudge, it
- 24:16Speaker 2: is a good thing for your body. I thought, didn't
- 24:22Speaker 2: we all know that? We just sometimes it just feels
- 24:24Speaker 2: good to hang on to it. That's the problem. Anyway.
- 24:27Speaker 2: A new study shows a dropping grudges and choosing to
- 24:29Speaker 2: forgive can actually boost your overall well being. I think
- 24:32Speaker 2: there's a book like the best selling book of all
- 24:34Speaker 2: time that would tell you this piece of information. Researchers
- 24:39Speaker 2: looked at something called dispositional forgiveness, which is basically how
- 24:44Speaker 2: naturally inclined someone is to forgive across different situations. Participants
- 24:48Speaker 2: reported how they forgave people who had hurt them, and
- 24:53Speaker 2: then checked back a year later. People who tended to
- 24:57Speaker 2: let things go ended up feeling better overall than those
- 25:01Speaker 2: who held on to resentment. The more forgiving people were
- 25:04Speaker 2: also more likely they were to feel optimistic and purposeful. Yeah,
- 25:09Speaker 2: I don't know that this is a big surprise. I
- 25:12Speaker 2: mean it needs to be said. People need to know. Yeah,
- 25:16Speaker 2: let those grudges go, they're not doing you any good.
- 25:18Speaker 2: But I don't know. This is a big shock. That'll
- 25:22Speaker 2: do it for this Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks
- 25:24Speaker 2: to our sponsors and patrons. Thanks for listening. I'll catch
