Latest / The Wes Carroll Morning Show / Would Anyone Benefit from Another Debate?
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Thursday morning, twelfth day of September. I'm West thanks for
- 0:13Speaker 2: joining me. Twelfth of September. Is that reminder of what
- 0:22Speaker 2: we're capable of being as a people, as a country,
- 0:28Speaker 2: really as a planet. But let's just stay focused on America.
- 0:32Speaker 2: Think back to the day after the World Trade Center attacks.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Think back to two thousand and one, twenty.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Three years ago.
- 0:42Speaker 2: On this day, we united as a country. We suddenly
- 0:45Speaker 2: became one people.
- 0:47Speaker 3: Didn't last. It didn't last.
- 0:50Speaker 2: It lasted for a little while. It should have lasted
- 0:53Speaker 2: a lot longer than it did, but it did not.
- 0:56Speaker 2: Because inevitably, this tribalism that we we subject ourselves to,
- 1:03Speaker 2: that we allow ourselves to be part of, ultimately comes
- 1:07Speaker 2: through again.
- 1:07Speaker 3: It always does.
- 1:09Speaker 2: I can't claim to be innocent of that, especially not
- 1:12Speaker 2: all those years ago. But it's a reminder today of
- 1:19Speaker 2: what we're capable of being now. We're able to be
- 1:23Speaker 2: a united people with the interests of only each other right,
- 1:30Speaker 2: just looking out for each other, looking out for our
- 1:33Speaker 2: fellow citizens, being scared together, being happy together, being quite frankly,
- 1:39Speaker 2: twenty three years ago, terrified together. We didn't know what
- 1:42Speaker 2: was going on, we didn't know where things were going.
- 1:44Speaker 2: What we did know is that we needed to look
- 1:48Speaker 2: out for each other. We learned during COVID, of course,
- 1:52Speaker 2: that that was a very different experience. At first, we
- 1:55Speaker 2: were scared together, we didn't know what was going on,
- 1:58Speaker 2: and then suddenly it was, you know, taken over. The
- 2:04Speaker 2: whole pandemic was taken over, and it took away our
- 2:07Speaker 2: opportunity to really not a lot of people did look
- 2:10Speaker 2: out for each other, but it took away our ability
- 2:13Speaker 2: to actually be there for each other and navigate through
- 2:17Speaker 2: it with some common sense, with some logic, with some
- 2:21Speaker 2: real science that you're allowed to challenge and question and
- 2:26Speaker 2: all of those things. So, you know, I don't know
- 2:30Speaker 2: what it would take for us to come together the
- 2:32Speaker 2: way we did twenty three years ago today, but it's
- 2:34Speaker 2: the anniversary of that, and just as much as we
- 2:37Speaker 2: acknowledge the anniversary yesterday of the attacks, it's important that
- 2:44Speaker 2: we take time to acknowledge what we were on the
- 2:49Speaker 2: twelfth of September in two thousand and one and just
- 2:53Speaker 2: hope that we could, you know, find some sort of peace,
- 2:57Speaker 2: and I don't know what's going to get us there.
- 2:59Speaker 2: I don't know if we're can capable of it.
- 3:02Speaker 3: The days of.
- 3:04Speaker 2: A private ballot, the days of not having to tell
- 3:07Speaker 2: everyone your opinions about everything all the time, seemed to
- 3:11Speaker 2: be a very distant memory. And our ability to be
- 3:15Speaker 2: civil about things, to unite over certain things, to be
- 3:17Speaker 2: able to watch sports without having to hear about politics,
- 3:21Speaker 2: to be able to turn on I don't know ESPN
- 3:24Speaker 2: and watch highlights of sports, to be able to just
- 3:27Speaker 2: watch a movie and enjoy it and not have to
- 3:29Speaker 2: hear all of the commentary of all of the people
- 3:32Speaker 2: that work there and how they're going to give their
- 3:34Speaker 2: money to a political candidate or support a candidate, and
- 3:37Speaker 2: thanks for coming to the movies and giving us money.
- 3:39Speaker 3: To give a candidate.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Anyway, I realized that my rambling isn't fixing the problem.
- 3:45Speaker 2: I'm just pointing out what the sad state is of
- 3:49Speaker 2: where we are and how different it is from where
- 3:51Speaker 2: we were, if only for a moment twenty.
- 3:55Speaker 3: Three years ago.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Let's take a look back to a couple of nights,
- 4:00Speaker 2: to go back to the debate just a little bit more.
- 4:02Speaker 2: I kind of did my on not much sleep. I
- 4:07Speaker 2: did my rambling about the debate. I had more discussions
- 4:11Speaker 2: on the debate obviously, went on yesterday and continue on
- 4:14Speaker 2: this morning. And I told you that the left was
- 4:17Speaker 2: going to spike the football and say how much Kamala
- 4:20Speaker 2: wan and all those sorts of things that there was
- 4:22Speaker 2: no doubt that was already planned. Think back, if you
- 4:28Speaker 2: will to the Trump Biden debate, and there were some
- 4:33Speaker 2: touting his win that night, about how he beat Trump,
- 4:37Speaker 2: And that was before the message got out that they
- 4:39Speaker 2: weren't supposed to be saying that because they started to realize,
- 4:42Speaker 2: wait a minute, we're going to have to dump him,
- 4:45Speaker 2: and we're going to have to figure out what we're
- 4:47Speaker 2: going to do next. And for a while though, there
- 4:51Speaker 2: were people saying that he won. Now I understand this
- 4:56Speaker 2: is one of those situations where I know, I told
- 4:59Speaker 2: you yesterday there were going to be people on both
- 5:01Speaker 2: sides saying that they're candidate won. I certainly know that
- 5:06Speaker 2: we have a much larger mouthpiece for Harris and the
- 5:10Speaker 2: people that are screaming how she won and how.
- 5:12Speaker 3: Successful she was.
- 5:14Speaker 2: And I tried to lay it out as best I could.
- 5:16Speaker 2: There were things I thought she did well. There were
- 5:18Speaker 2: things that I thought he did well. I don't think
- 5:22Speaker 2: either one of them did anything different than what they've
- 5:24Speaker 2: been doing while they've been campaigning. And I've said for
- 5:28Speaker 2: a very long time, now we know who he is,
- 5:31Speaker 2: we don't know who she is, and we still don't know.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Who she is.
- 5:36Speaker 2: A lot of people yesterday were praising the very juvenile
- 5:43Speaker 2: speeches that she went into. For her little ninety second
- 5:46Speaker 2: or two minute speeches.
- 5:47Speaker 3: It was very.
- 5:49Speaker 2: I mean, again, I don't know what to call it
- 5:51Speaker 2: other than you know, you're running for middle school president
- 5:56Speaker 2: and you're telling everybody all the oh, can't we all
- 5:59Speaker 2: just love each other and get along and be wonderful?
- 6:01Speaker 2: And I realized I started the show with that, but
- 6:06Speaker 2: I wasn't starting the show after someone asked me, are
- 6:10Speaker 2: we better off than we were four or five years ago?
- 6:14Speaker 2: Answering that question with why can't things be like they
- 6:16Speaker 2: were twenty three years ago? So, and that's kind of
- 6:21Speaker 2: why I started the show with that topic, because you know,
- 6:24Speaker 2: I do. I would like to think that we can
- 6:28Speaker 2: get to this perfect world that Kamala Harris talked about.
- 6:31Speaker 2: But the problem is is she still hasn't told us
- 6:34Speaker 2: how she's going to get there, and this absence of
- 6:37Speaker 2: press conferences, this absence of real interviews, this absence of
- 6:43Speaker 2: any real, clear established policies that she stands for, should
- 6:49Speaker 2: concern us all. And I think if nothing else, if
- 6:52Speaker 2: you want to say that she won the debate, you
- 6:56Speaker 2: have to still acknowledge the fact that she didn't really
- 6:59Speaker 2: tell us anything. A lot of Americans in the middle,
- 7:01Speaker 2: a lot of the undecided voters, wanted to hear her
- 7:04Speaker 2: say something about what she was going to do. And
- 7:08Speaker 2: with Trump, he said basically what he's been saying, you know,
- 7:11Speaker 2: all the way since he came down the elevator more
- 7:13Speaker 2: or less. I guess he's dropped all the talk about
- 7:17Speaker 2: Obama's birth certificate because I think maybe that's where all
- 7:20Speaker 2: that started back then, if I remember correctly. But anyway,
- 7:23Speaker 2: so it's no big surprise. Now, let me ask you
- 7:26Speaker 2: this and just think about this scenario as you are
- 7:33Speaker 2: looking back and reflect if you're still reflecting back on
- 7:35Speaker 2: the debate, and you know, she's her side says they
- 7:39Speaker 2: want to do more. I think they thought she did that.
- 7:41Speaker 3: Well.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Trump's response to are we going to do another one? Was,
- 7:45Speaker 2: you know, he's basically saying he won. So why would
- 7:47Speaker 2: he do another one? When you lose a fight, you
- 7:50Speaker 2: ask for a rematch was kind of the way he
- 7:51Speaker 2: put it in a much more Trumpian way. So let
- 7:56Speaker 2: me think about this for a minute.
- 7:58Speaker 3: If you are Kamala Harris and the opportunity comes.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Along to do another debate, to do this one on
- 8:07Speaker 2: you know, on Fox News, Okay or Newsmax or something
- 8:13Speaker 2: something that is much more conservative leaning right than ABC
- 8:19Speaker 2: and and true colors were shown by our moderators the
- 8:23Speaker 2: other night because they were very much carrying the torch
- 8:27Speaker 2: for Harris. Do you think she would want to do
- 8:31Speaker 2: one on a network where the moderators and I think,
- 8:34Speaker 2: if you know, the moderators you'd get from Fox would
- 8:37Speaker 2: be much more, much more middle of the road. I
- 8:42Speaker 2: think they would be fair to both candidates in that
- 8:46Speaker 2: regard with fact checking, with holding them to asking, you know,
- 8:51Speaker 2: repeating the question, Hey you did you never answered that question,
- 8:56Speaker 2: and both candidates were guilty of that. There's no doubt
- 8:58Speaker 2: they were both dodging certain questions and trying to stay
- 9:01Speaker 2: focused on certain talking points. But Trump's talking points have
- 9:06Speaker 2: largely been as he speaks at his rallies. Harris and
- 9:10Speaker 2: Biden are terrible and they haven't done a great job.
- 9:12Speaker 2: And whatever she says she's going to do when she
- 9:14Speaker 2: becomes president, why isn't she doing it now? And the
- 9:18Speaker 2: border is bad, the economy's bad, you know, we're on
- 9:24Speaker 2: the Virgil World War three, all these things that he
- 9:27Speaker 2: has consistently been saying, and he's stuck to those and
- 9:31Speaker 2: she's stuck to her message of I'm not really going
- 9:33Speaker 2: to tell you anything. I'm going to, you know, dodge
- 9:37Speaker 2: everything that I can possibly dodge because you're not going to,
- 9:40Speaker 2: you know, hold me down on anything.
- 9:42Speaker 3: I'm not going to let you do that. Now.
- 9:46Speaker 2: The things that she did well, she did well making
- 9:49Speaker 2: the abortion case, which is going to be making the
- 9:53Speaker 2: case for people that are pro that want to bring
- 9:57Speaker 2: back Roe v.
- 9:58Speaker 3: Wade. But you know, when she was.
- 9:59Speaker 2: Held to the questions of you know what, what what
- 10:03Speaker 2: limitations would you put in place?
- 10:04Speaker 3: Well, I want to bring back roe v Wade.
- 10:07Speaker 2: Well, Roe v Wade had a lot of flexibility and
- 10:09Speaker 2: there was a lot of opportunities for late term abortions
- 10:13Speaker 2: and situations. Keep in mind, the left has said concerning
- 10:17Speaker 2: abortions that they want that decision made between a woman
- 10:20Speaker 2: and her doctor and no one else should be involved
- 10:23Speaker 2: in making that decision. So, and they've been asked that before, Well,
- 10:27Speaker 2: how about in the third term, how about in the
- 10:29Speaker 2: eighth or ninth month, Well that the only people who
- 10:31Speaker 2: should be making that decision are women and their doctor. Okay,
- 10:36Speaker 2: so they didn't they didn't really press that issue to
- 10:39Speaker 2: that degree during the debate the other night. But that's
- 10:42Speaker 2: really where the question lies. And there has been talk
- 10:45Speaker 2: by some politicians doctors about, you know, a baby that
- 10:52Speaker 2: was a botched abortion baby born and then they just say, well,
- 10:57Speaker 2: we're just going to let it die. We're not going
- 10:59Speaker 2: to give it water, we're not going to do anything
- 11:01Speaker 2: for it. So these are some of the things that
- 11:03Speaker 2: were being touched on the other night. I've seen the video,
- 11:06Speaker 2: by the way, and a few people send it to
- 11:08Speaker 2: me of the I guess bodycam footage from the police
- 11:13Speaker 2: talking to people saying, hey, my cat was taken and
- 11:15Speaker 2: eaten and that sort of stuff. So for you know,
- 11:20Speaker 2: the moderators to jump in and say, ah, that's not true,
- 11:22Speaker 2: that never happened. There's no credible evidence of that without
- 11:25Speaker 2: it's the story's too new. This all has gone down
- 11:28Speaker 2: in the last few days. So I don't really know
- 11:30Speaker 2: how they can jump in and decide that you know
- 11:33Speaker 2: that myth has been busted, because obviously it hasn't. But
- 11:37Speaker 2: let's think about this for a minute. Would would Kamala
- 11:39Speaker 2: Harris agree to walk into a debate with moderators who
- 11:43Speaker 2: would actually do their job and moderate and not be
- 11:47Speaker 2: anti Trump? I don't know that she would. She had
- 11:51Speaker 2: a very significant advantage during this debate having moderators that
- 11:57Speaker 2: were making points for her on her back so that
- 12:00Speaker 2: she didn't have to say them. But it comes across
- 12:02Speaker 2: in a way where it gives her more credibility to say, uh, well,
- 12:06Speaker 2: you know, Kamala Harris has said this, this and this,
- 12:09Speaker 2: what do you say about that?
- 12:10Speaker 3: Trump?
- 12:11Speaker 2: Kamala Harris has pointed out that, you know the and
- 12:15Speaker 2: she never actually had to use her time to do that,
- 12:17Speaker 2: and it saved her time to stand up and say
- 12:19Speaker 2: we're not gonna name call and then proceed to call
- 12:22Speaker 2: Trump every name possible. So do you do you plan
- 12:28Speaker 2: your your strategy differently when you kind of know the
- 12:32Speaker 2: fix is in? And I think you do. I mean,
- 12:36Speaker 2: it's it's not like you, you know, you go into
- 12:38Speaker 2: a boxing match and you know your opponent is gonna
- 12:41Speaker 2: you know you're gonna hit him with a left hand
- 12:44Speaker 2: and they're gonna go down in the seventh round because
- 12:47Speaker 2: that's where all the money is. Uh, you know what
- 12:52Speaker 2: you have to do in the other rounds, right, you know,
- 12:55Speaker 2: you know you have to be ready for the seventh round.
- 12:58Speaker 2: That's all you have to focus on. You don't have
- 13:00Speaker 2: to focus on anything else. You don't have to worry
- 13:02Speaker 2: about the eighth round on because you know exactly what
- 13:05Speaker 2: it is that you're going to be doing. And I
- 13:08Speaker 2: do think that when you walk into a debate scenario
- 13:11Speaker 2: where the moderators are looking out for you, you don't
- 13:15Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about certain things. She was
- 13:18Speaker 2: able to just focus on him. He had to focus
- 13:21Speaker 2: on moderators and her. And you know, I said that
- 13:24Speaker 2: yesterday and a lot of people have said it. It's
- 13:25Speaker 2: hard to debate three people. So for people to say, oh,
- 13:29Speaker 2: she did such an amazing job with him and you know,
- 13:33Speaker 2: basically disrupting him, throwing him off, you know, getting in
- 13:39Speaker 2: his head. Well, there were a lot of people trying
- 13:41Speaker 2: to get in his head and he was trying to
- 13:44Speaker 2: navigate through all of that. So you know, this talk
- 13:47Speaker 2: about another one and I don't know would we benefit
- 13:50Speaker 2: from another one, Would that really help any of us?
- 13:52Speaker 2: Would we are we better off now than we were
- 13:55Speaker 2: before that debate? I don't think so. I think the
- 13:58Speaker 2: people that were going to vote for Trump are still
- 14:00Speaker 2: going to vote for Trump. The people that are going
- 14:02Speaker 2: to vote for Harris or whatever Democrat they threw up there,
- 14:06Speaker 2: are prepared to do that that was already established. And
- 14:10Speaker 2: I think there's still a bunch of people in the
- 14:12Speaker 2: middle that are going, I'd like to have some money
- 14:15Speaker 2: in the bank. I'd like to go back to where
- 14:17Speaker 2: I was five years ago when I could afford groceries.
- 14:21Speaker 2: And then you got some people that are saying I'd
- 14:23Speaker 2: like to have that, but I just don't like him.
- 14:26Speaker 3: I never have.
- 14:27Speaker 2: And then you got some people saying I don't really
- 14:30Speaker 2: know anything about her. I don't understand who she is.
- 14:33Speaker 2: I don't know what she stands for. I don't know
- 14:35Speaker 2: what her positions are. I don't know what sort of
- 14:37Speaker 2: president she would be. But I do know that she
- 14:40Speaker 2: doesn't sound anything like she does at her rallies. She's
- 14:43Speaker 2: not throwing regional dialect at us while she's standing up
- 14:48Speaker 2: there playing the role of prosecutor.
- 14:53Speaker 3: While she was doing the debate.
- 14:55Speaker 2: So I think there's still a lot of people in
- 14:56Speaker 2: the middle that maybe they've decided, maybe they know it
- 15:00Speaker 2: they want to do. I don't think that that changed
- 15:01Speaker 2: anybody's opinion really. I know, we'll start to see poles,
- 15:04Speaker 2: we'll find out if it made any difference. I think
- 15:08Speaker 2: if you want to say that she was more of
- 15:10Speaker 2: the adult in the room, maybe, but it's very I
- 15:16Speaker 2: heard someone refer to her as the you know, the
- 15:19Speaker 2: wine mom or the drunk mom, where she's just sort of,
- 15:24Speaker 2: you know, stumbling through what she's trying to say to like,
- 15:27Speaker 2: I'm not so drunk that I can't do this, but
- 15:29Speaker 2: I got a sound convincing. And I'm certainly not accusing
- 15:33Speaker 2: her of that, but she she she didn't say anything.
- 15:37Speaker 2: There was no real substance to it. It was a
- 15:40Speaker 2: lot of double speak, it was a lot of talking
- 15:42Speaker 2: in circles, it was a lot of repeating herself. And
- 15:45Speaker 2: you know, she had some moments. I'm not denying that.
- 15:49Speaker 2: I don't know that, you know, she handled herself the
- 15:55Speaker 2: way that she needed to to win over votes in
- 15:57Speaker 2: the middle. I don't think she did that at all.
- 15:59Speaker 2: I mean, maybe there's a small percentage of people's I
- 16:02Speaker 2: just want somebody that's full of sunshine and bubbles, you know,
- 16:05Speaker 2: and if that's who they are, then maybe they came
- 16:08Speaker 2: out of that thinking that she's going to be great.
- 16:10Speaker 2: But I don't know that we're hearing from those people.
- 16:12Speaker 2: I think we're just hearing from people who already liked her,
- 16:15Speaker 2: or whoever they would have liked, whoever was.
- 16:18Speaker 3: Put up there.
- 16:19Speaker 2: I mean, I would argue that if they were given
- 16:22Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom, maybe they'd be more excited if they were
- 16:26Speaker 2: given I mean, there's a handful of candidates that I
- 16:30Speaker 2: think maybe they would have just jumped that. You know,
- 16:31Speaker 2: Shapiro might have been one that they would have just
- 16:33Speaker 2: jumped in and said, yes, that's our guy. But I
- 16:37Speaker 2: don't know that she did anything to really win anybody
- 16:39Speaker 2: over from from the middle, any of those moderates. I
- 16:42Speaker 2: just I don't know that that happened. So win or
- 16:45Speaker 2: lose it. You know, they said that Tillary Clinton won
- 16:48Speaker 2: every debate she had with Donald Trump and then lost
- 16:51Speaker 2: the presidency, So I don't know that any of that
- 16:53Speaker 2: really mattered. I don't know that we need another debate.
- 16:56Speaker 2: I don't know that we even need the vps to debate.
- 16:58Speaker 2: I mean, what an experience that could be. I mean,
- 17:02Speaker 2: maybe those two guys would be a little more civil,
- 17:05Speaker 2: but she got Walls, who's all wacky and you know,
- 17:07Speaker 2: flailing around and you know, jumping in the air and
- 17:11Speaker 2: waving both hands and you know, and then you know,
- 17:15Speaker 2: Vance is very well spoken. I don't know that they
- 17:18Speaker 2: really want I don't know that they really want to
- 17:20Speaker 2: get into that on the left.
- 17:22Speaker 3: I don't think that they do.
- 17:23Speaker 2: It would be a good opportunity for Vance to establish
- 17:26Speaker 2: himself maybe as a candidate in four years, but you know,
- 17:31Speaker 2: and really kind of lay the groundwork for that. But
- 17:34Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know that we're any better
- 17:36Speaker 2: off because of debates. I don't know that anything really
- 17:39Speaker 2: changed in this race, and whatever numbers we see, I
- 17:43Speaker 2: don't know that they're going to really be reflective of
- 17:45Speaker 2: anything to do with a debate. I just don't know,
- 17:49Speaker 2: and I don't know that it's necessary that we go
- 17:51Speaker 2: through all of that again. Today's show brought to you
- 17:54Speaker 2: by Kalma State Universities, Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring
- 17:59Speaker 2: and education the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM
- 18:04Speaker 2: career holders that really of all ages. I mean they
- 18:08Speaker 2: do it for school age kids as school age kids

- 18:51Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
- 18:53Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
- 18:57Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens

- 19:46Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
- 19:50Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance

- 20:03Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
- 20:06Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
- 20:08Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
- 20:11Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
- 20:14Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
- 20:18Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
- 20:20Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
- 20:22Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
- 20:26Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
- 20:29Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got. With colder or
- 20:32Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
- 20:37Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
- 20:39Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
- 20:42Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
- 20:44Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
- 20:48Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
- 20:51Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
- 20:53Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
- 20:55Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
- 20:58Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
- 21:01Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
- 21:03Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
- 21:07Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
- 21:10Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five

- 21:20Speaker 2: after the break, The latest trend in self care is
- 21:32Speaker 2: savoring and it's exactly what it sounds like.
- 21:37Speaker 3: Uh.
- 21:37Speaker 2: It's a focus on taking extra time to appreciate and
- 21:39Speaker 2: enjoy a happy or calming moment, basically taking time to
- 21:46Speaker 2: uh just be present in that moment and really enjoy it.
- 21:53Speaker 2: Licensed professional counselor Joe's c I don't think it's jose
- 21:58Speaker 2: because of the way it spelled, Mouldrew says, I like
- 22:00Speaker 2: to think of savoring as just a practice of really
- 22:03Speaker 2: attending to, appreciating, and even extending your own positive emotional experience.
- 22:08Speaker 2: Some people may have heard of savoring associated before savoring
- 22:12Speaker 2: a meal, but it's really a concept that's recognized in
- 22:16Speaker 2: the positive psychology space as a vehicle to heighten and
- 22:19Speaker 2: then prolonged experiences that generate more positive emotions, such as joy, gratitude, acceptance, pleasure,
- 22:25Speaker 2: and love. So and I haven't really dug into this
- 22:29Speaker 2: a lot, but just first time I read this earlier,
- 22:33Speaker 2: I was thinking about how we really have taken that
- 22:36Speaker 2: away from ourselves with our phones, with our distractions that
- 22:42Speaker 2: we've allowed to be in our lives at all times.
- 22:46Speaker 2: Think about anybody who is at a concert and they're
- 22:49Speaker 2: worried about videoing the person singing rather than just watching
- 22:54Speaker 2: the concert and enjoying the show and taking in everything
- 22:58Speaker 2: that is the concert, Or people that are, you know,
- 23:01Speaker 2: taking photos of everything that's going on or you know,
- 23:04Speaker 2: God forbid people that they don't take time to help
- 23:07Speaker 2: somebody because they're more worried about getting video or photos
- 23:10Speaker 2: of the person that's in danger. So yeah, this is
- 23:13Speaker 2: a I think it's a great concept, and I think
- 23:16Speaker 2: we could all benefit certainly from a savoring. How about
- 23:20Speaker 2: this human resource departments. One particular company, it's a supermarket
- 23:25Speaker 2: chain called Pangdong Lao, is offering something to their employees
- 23:32Speaker 2: by really focusing on mental health. It is something called
- 23:36Speaker 2: unhappy leave, and they're basically, I guess it's the first
- 23:40Speaker 2: company believe to be offering this benefit up to ten
- 23:44Speaker 2: days of unhappiness leave on top of their regular sick days.
- 23:49Speaker 2: So they basically say, if you're not happy, you don't
- 23:52Speaker 2: need to come to work. If you're not happy, then
- 23:56Speaker 2: you can use one of your unhappy days and come
- 24:00Speaker 2: to work. Okay, I mean, I guess that really falls
- 24:06Speaker 2: under the category of a mental health day truly, but
- 24:10Speaker 2: most employers don't embrace that concept. That's just kind of
- 24:13Speaker 2: one of those things that people say, like on the side,
- 24:16Speaker 2: it's kind of playing hooky. But I certainly would think
- 24:20Speaker 2: so if you're not happy, I mean, what about people
- 24:23Speaker 2: who are constantly not happy. But I guess if they
- 24:25Speaker 2: only get like ten, I mean, it gives them basically
- 24:29Speaker 2: twenty twenty six days right Overall, A Jello is bringing
- 24:34Speaker 2: back some nineties vibes with a Jelly Collection limited edition
- 24:38Speaker 2: line of inflatable furniture inspired by classic Jello. The chairs
- 24:43Speaker 2: are available in four colors, red, yellow, green, and orange,
- 24:47Speaker 2: and come with a built in cup holder designed to
- 24:50Speaker 2: fit ready to eat Jello gelatin cups. They're available in
- 24:54Speaker 2: Amazon for about thirty dollars apiece.
- 24:57Speaker 3: So I mean.
- 24:59Speaker 2: This, it seems like a weird time of year to
- 25:01Speaker 2: put these out. They seem like more of a summertime thing,
- 25:03Speaker 2: don't they. Or you know, maybe it's good for back
- 25:06Speaker 2: to school, for.
- 25:06Speaker 3: Your your dorm room. Maybe that's where that fits. I
- 25:10Speaker 3: don't know.
- 25:11Speaker 2: All right, if you're somebody who prefers to sit near
- 25:14Speaker 2: the window on a flight because you think, well, I
- 25:16Speaker 2: can lean my head against the window, maybe get some rest, well,
- 25:21Speaker 2: A certain flight attendant has gone on to his TikTok page.
- 25:25Speaker 2: His name's Tommy, and he shares travel tips. Posted the
- 25:29Speaker 2: video where he explains you should never lean your head
- 25:31Speaker 2: against the window. He says, you're not the only one
- 25:32Speaker 2: who's done that. You don't know how many people or
- 25:34Speaker 2: children have wiped their hands or other things. That's a
- 25:37Speaker 2: little creepy and vague all over the window. He says
- 25:41Speaker 2: that the window is one of the most unsanitary parts
- 25:43Speaker 2: of the plane, along with the you know, actual flusher
- 25:46Speaker 2: in the bathroom, and he says the seats are also insanitary.
- 25:50Speaker 2: Advisor's passengers not to wear shorts.
- 25:54Speaker 3: Here's an idea.
- 25:55Speaker 2: You work there, you're, you know, part of the crew, right,
- 25:59Speaker 2: maybe you wipe down the way.
- 26:00Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 26:01Speaker 2: I don't know what the job description is there, but
- 26:03Speaker 2: I would think that if you're pointing out how gross
- 26:05Speaker 2: it is, maybe you could, or if you saw somebody
- 26:09Speaker 2: leaning against it, you could say, hey, let me wipe
- 26:10Speaker 2: that down for you, let me help you out. I know,
- 26:13Speaker 2: probably not their job. And finally, France of course known
- 26:17Speaker 2: for cheeses, and they're also known for some very aromatic cheeses.
- 26:24Speaker 2: How about that, But there's one particular cheese that has
- 26:27Speaker 2: now earned the title of world's stinkiest cheese. Researchers at
- 26:32Speaker 2: Cranfield University in the UK say that the view bou
- 26:37Speaker 2: law is the smelliest cheese there is. It's an unpasteurized,
- 26:41Speaker 2: unpressed cheese made from cow's milk. Researchers describe it smell
- 26:45Speaker 2: as a mix of body odor and cow doong that
- 26:47Speaker 2: sounds appetizing. In fact, they say it's so offensive it's
- 26:51Speaker 2: banned from being eaten on public transportation. But researchers are
- 26:55Speaker 2: quick to add that its taste is not at all
- 26:57Speaker 2: like its smell, and it's actually quite delicious. The smell
- 27:00Speaker 2: comes from the distinct orange rind, which is soaked in
- 27:04Speaker 2: beer as the cheese ages. Apparently that interaction between bacteria
- 27:09Speaker 2: and the beer and the cow's milk enzymes what creates
- 27:13Speaker 2: that really disgusting smell about it. So be on the
- 27:16Speaker 2: lookout for the view boo lawn. I mean, if you
- 27:20Speaker 2: cook with it, is it still gonna smell that bad?
- 27:22Speaker 2: Or can you deal with it? I don't know.
- 27:25Speaker 3: I mean, I'm curious. If it tastes as good as they.
- 27:27Speaker 2: Say, probably worth checking out, But I don't want to
- 27:30Speaker 2: smell anything that's that bad and try to eat it.
- 27:34Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Thursday edition of the show.
- 27:36Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
- 27:39Speaker 2: I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
