- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the Wes Carroll Morning Show.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Monday morning, fifth day of October. I'm Wes. Thanks for
- 0:16Speaker 2: joining me.
- 0:17Speaker 3: Another start to a day where I've got just a
- 0:22Speaker 3: little scratchiness in the throat. Not doing warm beverage this morning.
- 0:27Speaker 2: I'm doing a colder beverage. Not cold. Cooler beverage.
- 0:32Speaker 3: Cold is not really necessarily the way to go when
- 0:35Speaker 3: you're speaking.
- 0:36Speaker 2: So a cool beverage.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Water.
- 0:40Speaker 2: That's all it is.
- 0:40Speaker 3: Just trying to keep the old instrument wetted. That's what
- 0:46Speaker 3: you got to do sometimes. So if I periodically sound
- 0:49Speaker 3: like I'm doing that, that's just what I'm doing. And
- 0:51Speaker 3: I told you before, if it was radio, I would not.
- 0:54Speaker 3: be doing that, but because it is, in fact, a
- 0:58Speaker 3: podcast in this situation, I can take a sip if
- 1:02Speaker 3: I need to. You're cool with that, right? I'm not
- 1:05Speaker 3: slurping it. If I was slurping it, then that would
- 1:08Speaker 3: be a problem, but I'm not going to slurp it
- 1:10Speaker 3: on you. I'm just trying to keep things wet, that's all,
- 1:17Speaker 3: concerning my throat.
- 1:20Speaker 2: And mouth. That's all.
- 1:21Speaker 3: Just trying to do that. Got to stay hydrated. Sometimes
- 1:25Speaker 3: in the mornings, it's a challenge to do that. But
- 1:28Speaker 3: when things are a little scratchy, you just have to
- 1:30Speaker 3: do that.
- 1:31Speaker 2: It was a busy weekend. We had a lot going
- 1:34Speaker 2: on this weekend.
- 1:35Speaker 3: And look, I have had one of the craziest six weeks,
- 1:44Speaker 3: something like that, six, eight weeks of just thing after
- 1:49Speaker 3: thing after thing going on. Things have finally started to
- 1:53Speaker 3: slow down just a little bit towards the.
- 1:54Speaker 2: End of the week. And then the weekend came and.
- 1:57Speaker 3: There was some hectic things to do into the weekend.
- 2:01Speaker 3: I'm not complaining because some of what was so busy
- 2:04Speaker 3: was last weekend's Gabby Awards. And it's crazy that that
- 2:10Speaker 3: feels like that was a month ago. But, you know,
- 2:14Speaker 3: just a little over a week ago, I was still
- 2:16Speaker 3: I was in Atlanta a week ago yesterday. So, yeah. But,
- 2:22Speaker 3: and I don't know how much of, I don't remember
- 2:24Speaker 3: how much of this I mentioned before on the show,
- 2:26Speaker 3: but I know I talked a little bit about the
- 2:29Speaker 3: fact that my mom had had surgery. She had her
- 2:31Speaker 3: gallbladder out after having pancreatitis. We have gotten her now
- 2:36Speaker 3: back home and part of getting her fully back home
- 2:41Speaker 3: was getting her there. And because she was here with
- 2:47Speaker 3: her vehicle, and not ready to drive home. I drove
- 2:51Speaker 3: her home and then brought her car back. And then,
- 2:54Speaker 3: so part of the weekend activities was getting her car
- 2:57Speaker 3: back to her where she lives, which thankfully isn't that
- 3:01Speaker 3: far away, but it's still an ordeal just to do
- 3:04Speaker 3: all that. And while there, Jill and I did some
- 3:06Speaker 3: stuff for my mom around the house, some cleaning things
- 3:09Speaker 3: and Just to help out. But she's basically back to
- 3:14Speaker 3: her normal life now. Now that she's got her car, especially,
- 3:18Speaker 3: she can go grocery shopping and all those things. We
- 3:21Speaker 3: had taken care of all of that for her prior
- 3:23Speaker 3: to that. And any of you, when I talked about it,
- 3:26Speaker 3: I heard from some of you about, oh, pancreatitis, it's
- 3:28Speaker 3: awful and very painful. I guess it's on par with
- 3:34Speaker 3: kidney stones. I haven't experienced that, but I have experienced
- 3:37Speaker 3: kidney stones a couple of times. And so I know
- 3:40Speaker 3: roughly what that pain was like she was going through.
- 3:43Speaker 3: And then as far as the gallbladder, she's done well.
- 3:46Speaker 3: She's adjusted her diet. She's doing all that. So all
- 3:48Speaker 3: of you who've reached out, thank you. And any of
- 3:51Speaker 3: you that were praying for her, thank you. And for
- 3:53Speaker 3: my sanity and everything, thank.
- 3:55Speaker 2: You for that. God bless you for that. I appreciate it.
- 3:59Speaker 3: And we got some of that done before the weekend.
- 4:03Speaker 3: Friday night was homecoming. for the homecoming game for my
- 4:09Speaker 3: kids' high school.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Kids, plural.
- 4:13Speaker 3: And Luke is in the marching band. So this was
- 4:19Speaker 3: my first opportunity with everything work and helping to take
- 4:24Speaker 3: care of my mom. This was my first chance to
- 4:27Speaker 3: actually go to a game and see the marching band perform.
- 4:29Speaker 2: I'd seen videos.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Jill had been doing that for me because she's.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Been going to the games. And it was really.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Really cool to be there for that, especially for that
- 4:39Speaker 3: homecoming environment and all those things.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Now, game didn't go well. It happens.
- 4:45Speaker 3: But fun, the band sounded great. I mean, you know,
- 4:49Speaker 3: not knocking the team because they did their best, I'm sure. But,
- 4:54Speaker 3: you know, the band undefeated as far as I'm concerned.
- 4:57Speaker 3: They just sounded great. And it was really cool to
- 4:59Speaker 3: be able to be there for.
- 5:00Speaker 2: That in that environment.
- 5:02Speaker 3: And then Saturday was their homecoming dance. And both boys
- 5:08Speaker 3: were there for that. Part of the whole ordeal for
- 5:12Speaker 3: all of that, you know, pictures and getting things together.
- 5:16Speaker 3: And I haven't admitted this. I don't think to anybody
- 5:20Speaker 3: but my family. But I put together the bouquet that
- 5:27Speaker 3: Luke gave to his date.
- 5:32Speaker 2: I did. Have I done this before?
- 5:35Speaker 1: No.
- 5:35Speaker 3: No.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Uh, did I, did it look fantastic?
- 5:39Speaker 3: No.
- 5:40Speaker 2: Was it passable? I think so.
- 5:42Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know that anybody could see, could
- 5:44Speaker 3: tell that I put this thing together. Um, but I
- 5:48Speaker 3: did and you know, just don't kid yourself. Florists do
- 5:52Speaker 3: a great job and earn every penny and I know
- 5:55Speaker 3: some great florists, so I'm not knocking them at all. Um,
- 6:00Speaker 3: I just needed something kind of small. And, you know,
- 6:04Speaker 3: typically they kind of do bigger things. We've done some
- 6:06Speaker 3: bigger things for homecomings in the past. In this case,
- 6:10Speaker 3: we wanted something, a very specific thing, and I was.
- 6:13Speaker 2: Able to do that.
- 6:14Speaker 3: So I was happy to do that. Get that under
- 6:17Speaker 3: my belt. Check that on my list of things I
- 6:19Speaker 3: never thought.
- 6:20Speaker 2: I'd do as an adult.
- 6:23Speaker 3: You know, maybe I would have thought, oh, I could
- 6:25Speaker 3: do this, you know, when I was in high school. No,
- 6:28Speaker 3: that's not even what I did. Then I just bought it.
- 6:32Speaker 3: And I've bought the ones in the past for Jake
- 6:35Speaker 3: to give to his dates. In this case, Luke's date
- 6:39Speaker 3: was someone we've known since kindergarten for her and Luke.
- 6:44Speaker 3: And just a cool kid that I'm really fond of.
- 6:48Speaker 3: So I thought, I want to do this for her
- 6:50Speaker 3: and be able to make it. We didn't tell her
- 6:52Speaker 3: parents or her or anybody that I made it.
- 6:55Speaker 2: At some point, we'll let them.
- 6:57Speaker 3: Maybe they're looking at it going, what is this garbage?
- 7:01Speaker 3: What did you pay for this piece of junk? Anyway,
- 7:05Speaker 3: so that was.
- 7:05Speaker 2: All part of the weekend.
- 7:07Speaker 3: And then just trying to kind of let things calm
- 7:10Speaker 3: down just a little bit yesterday on top of, you know,
- 7:14Speaker 3: going to see my mom and helping to take care
- 7:16Speaker 3: of a few things for her before getting back home.
- 7:19Speaker 3: All right, so getting into this week, and this was
- 7:23Speaker 3: a weekend full of Cornell conversations online.
- 7:29Speaker 2: It amazes me. how quickly.
- 7:34Speaker 3: As a society now with social media, we can jump
- 7:37Speaker 3: from one cause to another cause and how we just
- 7:43Speaker 3: sort of effortlessly jump from one thing to the next
- 7:50Speaker 3: and consider ourselves to be experts in whatever that thing is.
- 7:57Speaker 3: And I know we touched on this a little bit
- 7:59Speaker 3: last week when we talked about it, but I just,
- 8:05Speaker 3: we went through this whole, you know, this woman accused
- 8:09Speaker 3: of killing her kids. People watched some of the trial.
- 8:13Speaker 3: I don't think many people watched all of the trial.
- 8:16Speaker 3: That kind of is the tendency that we have. We
- 8:19Speaker 3: kind of glean things or we dig into it a
- 8:23Speaker 3: little bit and we say, I got enough. I now
- 8:26Speaker 3: can form my opinion on this based on this information.
- 8:31Speaker 3: There was a time in my life where I would
- 8:34Speaker 3: have said that I was comfortable doing that. And then
- 8:42Speaker 3: I grew up, and I realized how absolutely ridiculous and
- 8:47Speaker 3: silly it is to think that I can gather just
- 8:49Speaker 3: a little information. Now, I can have an opinion on it,
- 8:54Speaker 3: but for me to think that my opinion is gospel correct,
- 8:57Speaker 3: 100% right, you can't argue with me, And I'm happy
- 9:03Speaker 3: to tell you all the reasons that I'm right and
- 9:05Speaker 3: that whatever different opinion.
- 9:07Speaker 2: You have is wrong. I've outgrown that. I do have opinions.
- 9:12Speaker 3: I have opinions on some things and I don't have
- 9:14Speaker 3: opinions on other things. And I'm going to be completely
- 9:18Speaker 3: honest with you when it comes to that trial, the
- 9:25Speaker 3: Clancy trial. Look, I don't know anything other than some
- 9:30Speaker 3: children were killed. And that's enough to make me nauseated.
- 9:36Speaker 3: That's enough to make me just sad, very sad and disturbed.
- 9:47Speaker 3: And for anyone to think that they can, I mean,
- 9:52Speaker 3: charges are brought against this woman. You can get into
- 9:57Speaker 3: the like, was it depression? Was it you know, what
- 10:00Speaker 3: was the reason that this could have happened? And that
- 10:05Speaker 3: then spiraled into, she didn't even do it. The husband
- 10:08Speaker 3: did it or, you know, whoever. Mothers, brothers, cousins, sisters, uncles,
- 10:13Speaker 3: roommate did it. You know, where we went from she
- 10:18Speaker 3: did it But did she do it because of instability, depression, postpartum?
- 10:29Speaker 3: What were the things that caused her to do it?
- 10:31Speaker 3: And that was the trial. And then it very quickly
- 10:35Speaker 3: turned into something else. It was very reminiscent of the O.J.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Trial.
- 10:41Speaker 3: It was a case of O.J. Simpson's been charged with
- 10:44Speaker 3: killing his ex-wife and her boyfriend. And that's where the trial,
- 10:48Speaker 3: whether he's, you know, he's innocent, he wasn't there, he
- 10:50Speaker 3: was getting on a plane or, you know, he was
- 10:53Speaker 3: sleeping and then he was getting on a plane. And
- 10:56Speaker 3: then at some point along the way, you have a,
- 10:59Speaker 3: you know, Johnny Cochran, the attorney that basically says, we're
- 11:01Speaker 3: going to lose unless we can make this about race.
- 11:05Speaker 2: And if we can convince people that it's.
- 11:07Speaker 3: A racist cop and the accusation is for racist reasons,
- 11:12Speaker 3: and then we're going to convince everybody that that's the reason.
- 11:16Speaker 2: And then it worked.
- 11:18Speaker 3: And then suddenly that's kind of become like, I mean,
- 11:21Speaker 3: I know lawyers have done this kind of thing for
- 11:22Speaker 3: a long time, but finding this appeal of the public,
- 11:28Speaker 3: we didn't have 24-hour news cycles before. We had, you know,
- 11:32Speaker 3: I guess headline news maybe at that point, but that
- 11:35Speaker 3: wasn't the news that we now know. We didn't have
- 11:39Speaker 3: channels that were just giving constant news updates and breaking news.
- 11:43Speaker 3: About stories that are seven or eight days old, but
- 11:45Speaker 3: they want to get your attention. So social media now
- 11:52Speaker 3: takes that role as well, because you can get online
- 11:55Speaker 3: and say, well, I'm going to do my research. I'm
- 11:58Speaker 3: going to find the truth. I'm going to dig into
- 12:00Speaker 3: this story and I'm going to find the truth. And
- 12:03Speaker 3: suddenly now we have people with this Cornell gang rape case. Well,
- 12:09Speaker 3: that's what people are doing. They're going, I'm going to get,
- 12:12Speaker 3: let me get on the internet and click, click, click, click, click, click.
- 12:13Speaker 3: And I'm going to find all the truth on it.
- 12:16Speaker 3: And all I know is that rape is bad. So
- 12:18Speaker 3: I'm going to tell everybody and let everybody know on
- 12:21Speaker 3: social media that rape is bad. And if you disagree,
- 12:24Speaker 3: I saw one, if you disagree with me, I can
- 12:28Speaker 3: see that you didn't share this and I'm going to
- 12:30Speaker 3: know that you stand with the rapists.
- 12:32Speaker 2: I saw that. So we're there for some people.
- 12:38Speaker 3: And I don't know if the person who shared it
- 12:40Speaker 3: was in the group of like, well, I better share it.
- 12:42Speaker 3: I don't want people to think I stand with rapists.
- 12:45Speaker 3: I don't want anybody to think that at all. I
- 12:48Speaker 3: haven't stood side by side next to a rapist in
- 12:51Speaker 3: support since Bill Clinton. He wasn't convicted. Trump wasn't convicted
- 12:58Speaker 3: of raping anybody. It was a civil trial about words.
- 13:02Speaker 2: Anyway, it was still criminal charge. Calm down, people. Calm down.
- 13:11Speaker 2: I'm just kidding.
- 13:11Speaker 3: Everybody's got their opinions on all of those things, and
- 13:14Speaker 3: they should.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Rape is bad.
- 13:16Speaker 3: Just because I didn't share it on social media doesn't
- 13:19Speaker 3: mean that I stand with rapists.
- 13:21Speaker 2: I don't.
- 13:22Speaker 3: I'm against it. I just don't pretend to know what
- 13:27Speaker 3: happened at Cornell. I can't tell you with certainty I
- 13:32Speaker 3: know what happened with Bill Clinton or with Donald Trump.
- 13:34Speaker 2: Or Joe Biden.
- 13:36Speaker 3: He's got one of those that's hidden away, locked up
- 13:38Speaker 3: in a vault somewhere, and we're not allowed to know
- 13:40Speaker 3: about it.
- 13:41Speaker 2: We're not allowed.
- 13:43Speaker 3: Well, if it's no big deal, Joe, won't you just
- 13:46Speaker 3: let them release it?
- 13:47Speaker 2: No, no, no. They lock that away. Smart move, politically, sure.
- 13:52Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 13:53Speaker 3: I don't know gospel truth about any of those things,
- 13:56Speaker 3: and I sure don't know what happened at Cornell. I've
- 14:00Speaker 3: seen some of the headlines. I've heard some of the
- 14:03Speaker 3: facts that came in about why they didn't pursue this
- 14:06Speaker 3: as a criminal case before. And what may have been
- 14:09Speaker 3: the thing that led us to this being a civil
- 14:12Speaker 3: trial now. Some of the things I've seen, I go, well,
- 14:16Speaker 3: that does kind of make you scratch your head, doesn't it?
- 14:19Speaker 3: That is a strange outcome with it. What we know
- 14:23Speaker 3: is that apparently, and I don't think this is in
- 14:26Speaker 3: any dispute, the woman said she wanted to have a
- 14:28Speaker 3: threesome with two guys at Cornell in a dorm. And
- 14:32Speaker 3: then suddenly there were other people involved. They say she
- 14:36Speaker 3: invited them. She says, no, no, no. At first, maybe,
- 14:39Speaker 3: but then I changed my mind and then I didn't
- 14:42Speaker 3: want that to happen or whatever. Again, I don't even
- 14:45Speaker 3: know those facts of the case.
- 14:48Speaker 2: What I know is.
- 14:52Speaker 2: Much like when.
- 14:53Speaker 3: You go, well, there's some murdered children, or you go, well,
- 14:55Speaker 3: there's a woman who multiple guys had their way with her,
- 14:59Speaker 3: whether she wanted them to or not, that's all in question.
- 15:03Speaker 3: It's almost as if we as a society have a
- 15:09Speaker 3: very distorted view of sex and sexuality. It's almost as
- 15:14Speaker 3: if we have done something as a society, as a group,
- 15:19Speaker 3: to take things like sex and make it less special, right?
- 15:25Speaker 3: It's almost as if we've just said we have urges
- 15:30Speaker 3: and by golly, we have to give in to those urges. Remember,
- 15:34Speaker 3: we went through this whole thing during the AIDS epidemic
- 15:36Speaker 3: and they said, oh man, you know, we just need
- 15:38Speaker 3: to tell these kids, not these teenagers and young adults
- 15:41Speaker 3: and college students, don't have sex.
- 15:45Speaker 2: It's dangerous.
- 15:46Speaker 3: And they went, they're not going to do that. They're
- 15:49Speaker 3: just going to have sex. That's what they're going to do.
- 15:52Speaker 3: That's what they do. What do you expect them to
- 15:55Speaker 3: not give in to their urges? There's no education that
- 15:59Speaker 3: we can do to tell them that that might not
- 16:01Speaker 3: be a good idea, that they could get this disease
- 16:03Speaker 3: and die. We can't expect that of them. And then,
- 16:10Speaker 3: you know, we've gone through this whole, what if I'm
- 16:12Speaker 3: born gay? What am I supposed to do? Just not
- 16:15Speaker 3: have sex with the same sex? What am I supposed
- 16:19Speaker 3: to do? Not give in to all of my carnal desires? Yeah,
- 16:26Speaker 3: you shouldn't do that.
- 16:27Speaker 2: None of us should. Guess what?
- 16:30Speaker 3: Straight people have carnal desires as well. And it's all
- 16:35Speaker 3: of our responsibility not to just.
- 16:37Speaker 2: Give in to all of them.
- 16:39Speaker 3: You know? Not to give in, I would say, almost
- 16:43Speaker 3: all of them.
- 16:44Speaker 2: You know?
- 16:45Speaker 3: I think there's an intention for what it's supposed to
- 16:49Speaker 3: be And we just kind of pretend that that's not
- 16:52Speaker 3: what it is. And people go, I don't understand. I
- 16:55Speaker 3: had a one-night stand and got pregnant, and I want
- 16:58Speaker 3: to get rid of the baby. And people are mad
- 17:00Speaker 3: at me because they think I shouldn't get rid of
- 17:02Speaker 3: the baby.
- 17:02Speaker 2: What was I supposed to do?
- 17:03Speaker 3: I don't know. I can tell you the point where
- 17:08Speaker 3: this whole story deviated from where your life trajectory was
- 17:14Speaker 3: before the one-night stand. I can tell you that there's
- 17:17Speaker 3: a certain event that took place. And I can also
- 17:20Speaker 3: tell you that, you know, a threesome in a frat
- 17:26Speaker 3: house or whatever it was, I can tell you that,
- 17:29Speaker 3: you know, that's where this whole, and I'm not, look,
- 17:33Speaker 3: I'm not pretending to know what happened. I'm just pointing
- 17:36Speaker 3: out the fact that there's this old adage that they
- 17:39Speaker 3: say nothing good happens after midnight.
- 17:42Speaker 2: Right.
- 17:43Speaker 3: And, you know, think about, hey, let's go have a
- 17:47Speaker 3: threesome in a, in a frat house.
- 17:50Speaker 2: That's after midnight.
- 17:54Speaker 3: I mean, if this whole thing just was what it
- 17:57Speaker 3: initially was going to be, which was the three of
- 17:59Speaker 3: them having all a consensual event, that's a better word,
- 18:07Speaker 3: then still it's not good, right?
- 18:12Speaker 2: It's not good.
- 18:14Speaker 3: It's not a good thing. So, I'm certainly not victim-blaming.
- 18:21Speaker 3: I'm not victim-blaming in either direction because I don't know
- 18:23Speaker 3: what happened.
- 18:24Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 18:26Speaker 3: What I do know is that we've got a very
- 18:28Speaker 3: distorted sense of sexuality. A lot of our problems that
- 18:31Speaker 3: we have in society comes.
- 18:34Speaker 2: Down to that.
- 18:35Speaker 3: We could just have our carnal desires in check, and
- 18:42Speaker 3: it would alleviate a lot of our problems, wouldn't it?
- 18:46Speaker 3: I mean, I can think of several problems that would
- 18:48Speaker 3: be alleviated from it. But it's just like we can't
- 18:54Speaker 3: help ourselves. We have to do it.
- 18:56Speaker 2: You have to.
- 18:57Speaker 3: The kids, the teenagers, the college students back in the 80s,
- 19:03Speaker 3: they didn't have a choice. It didn't matter if there
- 19:06Speaker 3: was any danger involved. They have to do it. And
- 19:10Speaker 3: they have no choice whatsoever. And then everybody sits on
- 19:14Speaker 3: the outside and looks back at whatever happened a couple
- 19:17Speaker 3: of years ago at that frat house. And they have
- 19:20Speaker 3: their perspective on it based on their perspective of their
- 19:22Speaker 3: experiences when maybe they made a bad choice or a
- 19:26Speaker 3: questionable choice or whatever it is. It's almost like we
- 19:33Speaker 3: have this very distorted view of sexuality as a society. Well,
- 19:36Speaker 3: if you're like me and my family, you struggle probably
- 19:40Speaker 3: to come up with something different. in the regular meal
- 19:44Speaker 3: rotation every single day.
- 19:48Speaker 2: We plan out our week.
- 19:50Speaker 3: We try to figure out what we're going to have
- 19:52Speaker 3: for our meals in the evening. And we just struggle
- 19:56Speaker 3: to put that list together every week. Well, let me
- 19:58Speaker 3: offer this for you. Something to add into the rotation list.

- 22:46Speaker 3: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens

- 23:36Speaker 3: Door Company of Columbus.
- 23:37Speaker 2: For all of your.
- 23:38Speaker 3: Garage door needs, commercial... or residential, maybe you have regular
- 23:44Speaker 3: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
- 23:47Speaker 3: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
- 23:52Speaker 3: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
- 23:55Speaker 3: care of squaring that away for you. And while they're there,
- 23:58Speaker 3: you can always ask them questions about some of the
- 24:00Speaker 3: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 24:04Speaker 3: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 24:07Speaker 3: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 24:09Speaker 3: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 24:12Speaker 3: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 24:16Speaker 3: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
- 24:19Speaker 3: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes
- 24:23Speaker 3: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 24:26Speaker 3: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 24:29Speaker 3: door to your garage door system. that you can put
- 24:32Speaker 3: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 24:35Speaker 3: sort of outdoor, but indoor, you know, if you like
- 24:38Speaker 3: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 24:40Speaker 3: you just want a little man cave that you'd like
- 24:42Speaker 3: to be able to open the door up and not
- 24:44Speaker 3: invite all the insects in. They can do that for
- 24:47Speaker 3: you as well.
- 24:48Speaker 2: And again, they do.
- 24:49Speaker 3: After hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of
- 24:51Speaker 3: having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage
- 24:55Speaker 3: door won't open and you need somebody to come help.
- 24:58Speaker 3: And they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com. More
- 25:08Speaker 3: West Carol Morning Show right after the break. Tombstone Pizza
- 25:20Speaker 3: making Halloween a little extra special. I don't know, for
- 25:26Speaker 3: people who like candy corn.
- 25:27Speaker 2: At the very least.
- 25:28Speaker 3: Now, when you think Tombstone Pizza and candy corn, you
- 25:32Speaker 3: probably are like me thinking, well, those two things don't
- 25:34Speaker 3: go together.
- 25:35Speaker 2: Oh, no.
- 25:37Speaker 3: Not so fast. Because Tombstone Pizza says that they do.
- 25:42Speaker 3: Limited edition candy corn pizza kits available in pepperoni and
- 25:47Speaker 3: five cheese varieties. Each kit includes packets of candy corn
- 25:51Speaker 3: so you can top your pizza with as much Halloween
- 25:55Speaker 3: sweetness as you desire. Tombstone calling it, sweet and savory
- 26:01Speaker 3: trick-or-treat combo. And I don't, I don't, no, no thanks.
- 26:10Speaker 3: I don't think so. Would I try it? Maybe begrudgingly,
- 26:16Speaker 3: but I don't know. They're only available through limited online drops.
- 26:23Speaker 3: Basically $ 1.
- 26:24Speaker 2: 31 for the kit.
- 26:25Speaker 3: I guess it's just a bag of candy corn, isn't it?
- 26:29Speaker 3: You can get the, there's a couple more chances to
- 26:31Speaker 3: get it. I guess there were some the end of
- 26:32Speaker 3: last week. You can get them on October 9th and
- 26:36Speaker 3: 23rd on those drops while supplies last. So I guess
- 26:39Speaker 3: you do the drops and that gets people all hyped
- 26:42Speaker 3: about it. And like, I can't wait to eat this
- 26:44Speaker 3: candy corn pizza and vomit or, you know, whatever.
- 26:47Speaker 2: It is that you get.
- 26:48Speaker 3: I just can't, I can't wait for what that must
- 26:52Speaker 3: taste like coming back up again. Cause it sounds just,
- 26:56Speaker 3: Sounds disgusting going down, but.
- 26:59Speaker 2: I'd probably eat it begrudgingly. I probably would.
- 27:03Speaker 3: Gen Z may be putting off big milestones, buying a
- 27:08Speaker 3: home or starting a family or going back to school,
- 27:11Speaker 3: but they're not giving up.
- 27:13Speaker 2: On small little indulgences.
- 27:15Speaker 3: There's a growing trend known as the little treat economy,
- 27:19Speaker 3: and it's all about spending on small pick-me-ups like lattes or...
- 27:26Speaker 3: bakery treats, ice cream runs. One recent study found that
- 27:32Speaker 3: 92% of Gen Zers treat themselves to boost their mood
- 27:37Speaker 3: and celebrate good news. And while they may be struggling
- 27:40Speaker 3: with high rent and rising costs, many see these small
- 27:43Speaker 3: purchases as an affordable way to add a little joy
- 27:47Speaker 3: to everyday life. So basically, if the future feels expensive,
- 27:52Speaker 3: Maybe like a $ 10 coffee or $ 12 coffee feels like
- 27:56Speaker 3: some kind of self-care and gives you a little boost.
- 28:01Speaker 3: You know, I mean, maybe that's maybe that's enough to
- 28:06Speaker 3: kind of get you through things. So DoorDash has revealed
- 28:10Speaker 3: details about its new drone delivery service, DoorDash Air, which
- 28:15Speaker 3: is set to launch first in Northern California with partners
- 28:19Speaker 3: Chipotle and Popeyes already on board. The custom drones feature
- 28:24Speaker 3: six propellers and boast an average delivery time of under
- 28:28Speaker 3: five minutes from restaurant to doorstep. DoorDash says that roughly
- 28:33Speaker 3: 80% of its restaurant orders are light enough for drone delivery,
- 28:37Speaker 3: and systems are already in place to get the orders
- 28:42Speaker 3: based on flight time, weather, and traffic. Do you have
- 28:46Speaker 3: to tip the drone? Because we have to tip everything.
- 28:50Speaker 3: You know, you got to tip when they put it
- 28:52Speaker 3: in the bag. You got to tip when they bring
- 28:54Speaker 3: it to your house. You got to do all the tipping.
- 28:58Speaker 2: By the way, when you go and you.
- 29:00Speaker 3: Do the carryout, you get your food and you just
- 29:04Speaker 3: pick it up at the counter. And they expect a tip,
- 29:07Speaker 3: by the way, if you didn't know that. Now, some don't,
- 29:10Speaker 3: but most places do.
- 29:12Speaker 2: I know people that have worked at.
- 29:13Speaker 3: Some restaurants and they're like, that was a $ 100 order
- 29:15Speaker 3: and I put it all in the bag and all
- 29:18Speaker 3: they gave me was $ 5.
- 29:20Speaker 2: What are we expecting?
- 29:21Speaker 3: Like, can't they just give you five bucks for that?
- 29:24Speaker 2: No, no, no.
- 29:25Speaker 3: It was a hundred dollar order. It should have been
- 29:26Speaker 3: like 30 bucks. Really? So just know they're expecting it
- 29:33Speaker 3: in a lot of cases. But when the DoorDash people
- 29:37Speaker 3: go and pick it up and bring it to you,
- 29:39Speaker 3: like they're not tipping them and then bringing the food
- 29:43Speaker 3: to you and getting a tip and balancing out. There's
- 29:45Speaker 3: no double tip. So I'm just trying to figure out
- 29:48Speaker 3: why when they pick it up versus when we pick
- 29:51Speaker 3: it up, what's the difference?
- 29:52Speaker 2: So I don't know.
- 29:55Speaker 3: Casio, famous for making cheap but tough watches for the everyman.
- 30:01Speaker 3: Now the brand jumping straight into the crazy luxury market.
- 30:05Speaker 3: The latest offering looks like a classic square G-Shock from
- 30:09Speaker 3: the 1980s, made from solid blue sapphire crystal. Costs a
- 30:14Speaker 3: staggering $ 80, 000. If you're interested in the most expensive Casio
- 30:20Speaker 3: ever made... You better get ready to get in line
- 30:25Speaker 3: because they're only going to make 20 of these things.
- 30:27Speaker 3: So I'm thinking about buying four of them for myself.
- 30:30Speaker 3: So one for each arm, one for each leg.
- 30:33Speaker 2: That's what I'm thinking.
- 30:35Speaker 3: That'll do it for this Monday edition of the show.
- 30:37Speaker 3: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
- 30:41Speaker 3: I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
