  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Thursday morning, the thirteenth day of August. I'm Wes, thanks
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: for joining me. I gonna have to hit the old
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: cough button a few times this morning, maybe sipping lots
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: of water this morning. We'll get through this, maybe a
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: slightly shorter show, but I'm gonna give it my all.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: See what we can get done today. The Carroll House
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: has some sort of illness that's made its way around
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: and we know a few people that have it. It's
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: one of those little nuggets that you get when you
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: have back to school, isn't it. Back to school is
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: one of those I get. You know, the kids go
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: back and you think, okay, we got to get them
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: back into a routine. We got to get you know,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: the sleep schedule, adjusted, homework, all the things that come
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: with getting back school. And then it's usually within the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: first two to three weeks when you get that reminder
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: that bunch of germs floating to run at school. It
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: hasn't been our experience quite as much with high school
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: as it had with you know, younger ages as far
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: as school with the germs being quite so prevalent, but
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: we've certainly had some illnesses that have come home at
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the high school age, and I'm assuming that that's where
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: this one came from. Jake was the first one to
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: have it in our home. Now. He does have a
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: part time job, so it's possible that he could have
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: picked it up there. I don't know, but the bottom
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: line is we all have it now. Boys both kind
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: of did that quick couple days feeling better. Jill's had
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: it for a guess, Jake first than Luke than Jill,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: and me and mine kind of started yesterday, So we'll
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: see how we go. As the day went on yesterday,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: the sore throat progressed and it's just there. I don't
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: think I sound much different, but there's just a lot
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: going on, a lot of especially in the morning. You
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: get that late night drainage going on and all of
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: that stuff. So anyway we're navigating through it. I hope
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: your household hasn't been hit by whatever this is. It
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: seems to be some type of cold, but who knows,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: who knows what it is. If it were whipped up
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: in a lab somewhere in China, we probably wouldn't get
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: any straight answers about it from anybody responsible for it. Anyway.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: We've learned that the text messages for Tony Fauci not
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: getting any better, are they. It just seems to get
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: worse and worse as they dig through the text messages
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: after the Dear Diary and all of that stuff. So
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: you just hope there's going to be some on of
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: accountability there. That's what you hope for, That's what you
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: want to see. It would be nice, It would be
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: really nice if there was some accountability. But it doesn't
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: feel like we always get there, does it. I tease
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: this a little bit yesterday. I guess I can now
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: let you know as we get ready for on August
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: twenty ninth, the Dragon con pregame show powered by Columbus
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center. Two of our
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: guests locked in interviews coming very soon. I usually like
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to try to get to the point where I've done
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: the interviews because anything can happen. I had a couple
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: interviews last year that were scheduled and then there was
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: an issue that came up or the guest ended up
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: not attending the convention, so we had to kind of
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: make changes. I think I made it pretty clear if
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: you know anything about people that are attending Dragon Con
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: this year, and I mentioned Battlestar, I mentioned Smallville being
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: two of the shows well represented. Tricia Helfer, who played
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Silon Number six on Battlestar Galactica, just a complete upgrade
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: of those cylons in every possible way. Scheduled to talk
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: with her soon, and also scheduled to talk with Clark
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Kent himself aka the Blur aka the boy that would
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: be Superman, Tom Welling from Smallville. So those are both booked.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I should know maybe as soon as Friday, maybe by Monday,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: about another big one. I've got a couple more than
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I'm waiting to hear details on as far as all
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: that goes. Really excited though, to have them both joining
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: us for the show. And I'm gonna say this, i
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: was working on the artwork for the show, and I'm
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: looking at those two that I've just already made, and
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I started kind of making the ones for the other guests,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: just for whenever they get locked in. But I'm looking
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: at Tom Welling and I'm looking at Trisha Halfer, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this, there's no offense to pass guests,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: and no offense to anyone who's ever been part of
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the show. But this is a this is a pretty
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: good look. It's a pretty good looking lineup. Just these
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: are two good looking human beings. That's that's all. Just
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: do with that as you will. I'm just saying. And
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: it's something for you know, the guys, something for the ladies.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: It's just a it's a nice it's a nice looking
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: couple of human beings. Genetically, they've they've been you know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: blessed and have taken good care of themselves. That's all
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: that I'm saying. I'm not I'm not going anywhere other
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: than just saying a couple of good looking people. Kudos
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: to them for the genetics and for the self care
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: that goes into all that. Excited to talk to both
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: of them. Tricia Helfer and I go back about ten
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: to eleven years, I guess is when I first met
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: her at Dragon Con, so excited about a chance to
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: get and I talked with her then in like a
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: press conference to upsetting, but she and I talked for
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: a little bit one on one, and then so excited
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: to have her as officially part of the pregame show
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: because that did not happen then, but there was a
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: big contingency of people from Battlestor Galactica then and that
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: will be the case again this year. A lot of
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the same people so excited to get a chance to
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: talk with her. And I've interviewed several people from Smallville
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: over the years, just not Superman. So let's make that
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: one official. I haven't done a short, I haven't had
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: her on the pregame show yet, but with Laura Vandervoort,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: who played Supergirl, I did an interview, a quick interview
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: with her at dragon Con many years ago, and I
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: thought when I saw the small Ville names come in,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I thought, this is it. This is the year. But
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: as of now, she has not been announced for this year,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: so I don't expect her to be there this year,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: but that is something that eventually, eventually will happen. Okay,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: So today and a dragon Con pregame show will officially
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: drop August twenty ninth, radio and podcast, The Dragon Conn
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Pregame Show podcast wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, So,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I thought this was kind of interesting. We have this
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: little feud that's going on this rift inside the Democrat
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Party and it is worth noting that there have been
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: some notable people in the party that have started to say,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: we got to make some pay attention. I guess to
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: this rift that's taken place because you got some people
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: in the party that aren't happy with the fact that
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: the DSA has become so prominent and the communists are
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: trying to take over and hijack the party. Some seem
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: content just to move forward with everything. Some seem to
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: say this is not a good thing and we need
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: to pull back. I want to see some conviction to
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: go with it. Is courage to speak up. I want
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to see some actual conviction to go with this, and
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I want to see a few of these people actually
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: start talking about what they're going to do if the
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: party is completely hijacked. You have some high profile people,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the James Carvil's and the Bill Mahers, and people that
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: are Democrats that have been very outspoken now about this,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: and Bill Maher especially saying, look, my vote will be
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: in play if this is where the party's going. This
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: is dangerous. We can't keep idolizing communism. We can't keep
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: electing people that are either themselves pro communism or people
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: that are surrounding themselves with people that are pro Communists,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: including the aid one of New York Mayor Mom Donnie's
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: aides see a Weaver who said elect more communists. Bill
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Maher pointed that out on his show, and you could
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: hear a gasp in the audience. It's like they are
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: unaware of the fact that we have Democrats now that
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: are openly communist. I told you, we're very close to
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: one of these candidates just telling us that they're a
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Communist and just putting it out there. I feel like
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: we're a lot closer to that than maybe we feel
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: like we should be. I don't think that's a good thing.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I think for some it will solidify things. I think
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: when you got people that are openly anti Jew, anti Israel,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: anti Semitic and wear that proudly. We're talking about a
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Democrat party that nominated in Maine, a guy with a
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Nazi tattoo on his chest that you know, he covered
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: and claimed he didn't know what it was, but also
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: bragged about what a history buff he was and how
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: much he knew about World War Two. And you know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know how you don't connect
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: all these dots. But I also think that they are
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: so desperate that they'll do anything to win, and that's
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: what we've seen with some of these candidates that are
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: being nominated and then potentially even supported. I know a
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: couple of these candidates have not won. We saw what
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: happened in Michigan and their race for governor. So it
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: is important that we understand that there are some Democrats
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: who are starting to speak out against what's happening. But
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I would love to see a handful of these Democrats
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: that are, you know, part of the party that have issues.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I want to see a couple of these actual members
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: of Congress maybe say something like, hey, I could become
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: an independent. I could vote and caucus with the Republicans
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: if you put me in a position where this party
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: is going to go in another direction, if this party
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: wants to see the downfall of our constitution, if this
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: party becomes a party that wants to see an overthrow
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: of our government, an overthrow of our president, and overthrow
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: of our Senate, then yeah, you'll force me to, you know,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: caucus with the Republicans and become an independent. I think
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: that's conviction, and I think that's something that at the
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: very least should be on the table, and I think
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: that's the only way you're going to get the attention
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: of the people that are considering voting in these candidates.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: And you got some of them that are nominated, You
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: got some of them that are you know, no longer
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: part of this cycle because of those views. But I
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: want to mention and you hear the name Hassan Piker,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: who himself has been nothing but a lightning rod of controversy.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: He streams on Twitch. Uh, calls himself a socialist. He
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: is not a socialist. He is very much this one
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: of these democratic socialist communists who, as Bill Maher pointed
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: out on his show you Know, claim that America deserved
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: nine to eleven. Uh. Piker said that. And when mar
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: was critical of Sea Weaver from Mom Donnie's camp, and uh,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: she said, if you don't believe in the government's sacred
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: right to seize property, it's over. And then she referenced
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: the fact that they were there to impoverish the white
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: middle class. And Mark commented on his show, you know,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: you're supposed to scare people into voting for you, right.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Piker talked about what a fan he is of Weaver,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: and this was speaking at an event, and he uh
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: praised Mom Donnie for surrounding himself with people that are
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: cooler than he is. That's one of the reasons that
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: he he loves Mom Donnie and he he basically has
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: talked about what a tragedy the falling of communist the
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: communist Soviet Union was. He has talked about basically the
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the fall of Mao's China that Bill Maher talked about
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: uh and basically when this is a weird, weird flex
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: here for Piker who basically said, first of all, he
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: commented that China uh never fell, Mao died instead. But anyway,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: and he said the fall of the USSR was one
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: of the great catastrophes of the twentieth century. Mao is
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: one of the greatest great leaders of this world. Both
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: are true, both are objectively true statements, and that he
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: basically said that he's talking about the Soviet Union and
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: the fact that it was a great tragedy. He says
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: that even Russian President Vladimir Putin agrees with him, and
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: he is certainly no communist. Putin has said that the
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: fall of the USSR was one of the greatest geopolitical
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: catastrophes in history. That's a weird place to go. And
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: it's a strange place considering the fact that you have
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: someone in Putin who does like Donald Trump, and everyone
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: has tried to link him to Trump, calling them friends
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: and buddies and things. Trump has not done himself any
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: favors over the years, by you know, when he references
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: a world leader and says that they're friendly and that
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: they can communicate with each other. This is not a
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: buddy situation. This isn't a buddy cop type deal. Putin
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: does not like Trump, and Democrats have spent a lot
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: of time trying to connect them, including just making up
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: stuff that was spread through the press about them. And
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: how I remember the whole I don't even want to
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: get into it, but the whole urination gait that we
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: went through about all that. How Putin must have had
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: something on him, some dirt on him. Sorry, I want
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: to get urine and have something on him. Those two
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: that could have gotten really I don't know, it depends
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: whatever people wanted all that to seem like was being
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: accused that ended up, of course not being true. It
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: never was. But that's a weird place to go for
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: someone who is a democratic socialist quote unquote not really
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: a communist basically to say that, Yeah, Vladimir Putin agrees
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: with me. It's a tragedy that the Soviet Union fell.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: That's a weird place to be, isn't that weird? I mean,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: it's a strange place to kind of go with all
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: of this. And he basically called Bill Maher smug for
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: some of the things that he said. Anybody who challenges
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: them on this is going to be a jerk and
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: smug and whatever they want to call him. But it's
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: a critical and I'm not been saying it for a while.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I'm not the only one saying it. This is a
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: critical time for this party because if they're going to
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: go with these candidates and they're going to support them,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: they're putting themselves in a position where, if it works,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: they're going to lose ConTroll of this party completely. If
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: it doesn't work, they're going to continue to have be
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: limited in their control of what's going on in the government,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: and they're gonna have to then do another regroup and
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: we'll see again. With no real possibilities of any candidates
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: emerging for twenty twenty eight, they still have to try
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: to figure out what they're gonna do. Get ready for
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: dragon Con forty. It's the fortieth dragon Con and it
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: happens Labor Day weekend in downtown Atlanta September third through
• 17:36

  Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.

  Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid. You'd
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in they can do that
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five

  Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: after the break. Did you manage a vacation this summer?
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: If you did not, then you're not alone. A New
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Talker research survey found that sixty one percent of respondents
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: haven't taken a vacation this summer. Twenty three percent said
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: that they don't feel like they've made the most of
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: this summer, money being a factor. Thirteen percent said financial
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: pressure changed their summer plans. So there's quite a few
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: people apparently that did not actually do that. If a
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: big vacation feels overwhelming or is too expensive, many trips
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: may be the way to go. Many M I N I,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: not M A N Y, or many many trips. Harvard
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: professor and happiness expert you I want to be a
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: happiness expert Arthur Brooks suggests taking shorter, more frequent getaways.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: He calls them vacation ets and says, instead of saving
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: all your time off for one big trip each year,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: that you spread a few many vacations throughout the year,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: and you get to enjoy that vacation glow a little
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: more often. He says, Also, simply looking forward to a
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: trip can boost your mood, and as he points out,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: one of the happiest parts of any vacation is the
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: anticipation leading up to it. Yeah, that's all true. Sometimes
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: you have to take a big trip, and sometimes you're
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: able to squeeze off a lot of trips in between,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: those little weekend getaways and long weekends and things like that.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: So yeah, all of that makes some sense. I like
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: that as a strategy, especially if money was the reason
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: that you weren't able to do quite so much. So,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: all right, thinking back to college days and college dorm rooms,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: as many kids are getting settled in college dorms and
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: things all around the country, there was a time you
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: decorate your dorm maybe a mini fridge, some posters, a futon,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: something like that. But this whole hiring professional interior designers
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: thing to completely redo a dorm room before move in
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: day has caught on a big way and price tag
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: kind of nuts. Some family spending as much as twenty
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: grand on custom furnishings, betting, decoor installation. Social media is
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: to blame because you got people saying, hey, look what
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I did for my kid. Look at this over the
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: top ridiculous thing. It's it's pretty ridiculous for just a
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: little teeny tiny shared apartment, just a little tiny apartment
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: that they're in. I mean, whatever, float your boat. You
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: know my kids, it's not going to happen for them.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: We're not spending we're not spending twenty grand on decorating
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: a room for them. It's just the reality. I think
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: they know that. I don't think that they would want
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: me to spend twenty grand, and I know Jill and
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: I don't even have to have this conversation. It's not
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: going to happen. Maybe we get them some new sheets
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: and a new blanket, but that's it. That's about it.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: We're not going crazy. A refrigerator, yeah, we could do that,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: that's about it. We're not going We're not going nuts.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: That's all. If you want to seem and feel happier
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: at least, then psychologists say that it's time to start
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: romanticizing your life. Basically, make everyday moments feel a little
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: more special. The idea is to turn routine tasks into
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: something that you actually look forward to, instead of thinking
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: of a walk as exercise. Take along your favorite coffee,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: and you know your favorite podcast, they recommend, and I
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: thank you for listening. If this is it, let's go,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: let's go for a walk together. Let's do it. Pace
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: it out. Big step, big step, a little quick, go,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: a little faster, not too fast. You don't want to
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: overdo it. I could be that guy in here here.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Experts say pairing healthy habits with enjoyable rituals it creates
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: positive associations that you make and that will cause you
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: to be more likely to stick with them. I'm going
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: to add this too, because I've been trying to do
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: be more conscientious about this personally, and it's something that
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: is I think they recommend it, especially in neurodiverse people,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: where you just take time to enjoy smells and textures
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: and things a little bit more. While you're out you're walking,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: you smell a flowers or some kind of scent in
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: the air that you enjoy. Take time to really appreciate it.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: You know, when's the last time you just reached out
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: and touched the leaf, felt a leaf on a tree.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Watch out for poison IVY. I don't want you to
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: think I'm telling you to do that, but any of
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: those things as you're out walking or in a restaurant,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: maybe smell your food before you eat it, that kind
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: of thing. You know, wine lovers and you know, whiskey lovers,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: scotch lovers, they take time to smell their beverage before
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: they drink it. But you know you could do that
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: with all your food. Just really take time to take
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: it in, you know, smell it. That's all. Just appreciate
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: those things, that little bit of extra stimulation that you
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: can add to your life, and that also makes things
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: a little more enjoyable. That'll do it for this Thursday
