- 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.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, twenty fifth day of February. I'm West thanks
- 0:15Speaker 2: for joining me. It's my mom's birthday. It's the most
- 0:19Speaker 2: important thing about today. Went on and on yesterday about
- 0:24Speaker 2: what a great month February was, didn't even mention my
- 0:29Speaker 2: mom's birthday. Shame on me. Drop the ball on that one.
- 0:33Speaker 2: I knew it was coming up. I knew it was
- 0:34Speaker 2: on the horizon. I was making plans, all sorts of things,
- 0:39Speaker 2: and I still just it slipped my mind to even
- 0:41Speaker 2: talk about it here. So by all means, if you
- 0:45Speaker 2: know my mom, reach out to her, tell her happy birthday.
- 0:51Speaker 2: It's I don't know how. I don't know how to
- 0:54Speaker 2: slip my mind thinking about all the great stuff in February.
- 0:57Speaker 2: Of course, my mom's birthday is a much bigger deal
- 1:00Speaker 2: than my birthday without my mom, without her birthing day.
- 1:05Speaker 2: For me, you know, it's a big deal. Plus you
- 1:09Speaker 2: know she's she birthed a legend, and neither of my
- 1:15Speaker 2: brothers is here to say yeah me, So you know,
- 1:17Speaker 2: it's just an opportunity to say that without having to
- 1:20Speaker 2: have all that other stuff. I am going to spend
- 1:23Speaker 2: a little more time, I'm sure on State of the
- 1:25Speaker 2: Union later in the week, probably tomorrow. I guess I'm
- 1:31Speaker 2: not going to do a whole lot of it today.
- 1:33Speaker 2: There's a few things about it that I want to
- 1:35Speaker 2: talk about, but I just want a little I didn't
- 1:39Speaker 2: honestly didn't get a chance to watch the whole thing yesterday.
- 1:41Speaker 2: We had some stuff going on, and I have it
- 1:44Speaker 2: recorded to watch and we'll address some of the more
- 1:49Speaker 2: specific things to it. What I can tell you is
- 1:54Speaker 2: the guests. It's it's always a spectacle when to things
- 2:01Speaker 2: like the State of the Union. Who's going to be there,
- 2:03Speaker 2: who's not going to be there, who's going to dress
- 2:05Speaker 2: in the you know, silly little outfits they're gonna wear
- 2:09Speaker 2: they're all white, or they're gonna wear they're all red,
- 2:12Speaker 2: or whatever they're doing, I don't know, hold up their
- 2:14Speaker 2: little lollipop signs, all those things that, you know, they
- 2:20Speaker 2: just wear you down. They just wear you down when
- 2:24Speaker 2: you're just thinking, we're trying hard to recover. We're still
- 2:30Speaker 2: trying to recover from COVID. It's been six years. It's
- 2:33Speaker 2: been six years since we were starting this pandemic and
- 2:39Speaker 2: we're still trying to recover from it. Bad decisions that
- 2:41Speaker 2: were made, things that were done. I've said this many times.
- 2:46Speaker 2: I said this while I was covering the pandemic as
- 2:49Speaker 2: it was happening, as it was unfolding. I gave a
- 2:52Speaker 2: lot of leadership benefit of the doubt, and I still
- 2:56Speaker 2: maintain that for many of them, at least at the beginning,
- 3:02Speaker 2: they deserve benefit of the doubt. There were some really
- 3:05Speaker 2: bad decisions made that do not deserve benefit of the doubt.
- 3:10Speaker 2: When the Governor of New York said, let's put all
- 3:13Speaker 2: the seniors that have been potentially exposed all in the
- 3:17Speaker 2: same nursing homes and things, and you just go, that's
- 3:21Speaker 2: not going to go well, it's not gonna go well,
- 3:24Speaker 2: no quarantine first, all these things that it just there
- 3:28Speaker 2: were some bad decisions, but there was a lot of
- 3:32Speaker 2: leadership that made decisions that I think they thought they
- 3:35Speaker 2: were making the right decisions. He probably thought he was
- 3:40Speaker 2: making the right decision. But there were some really bad
- 3:42Speaker 2: decisions that were made along the way. But for the
- 3:46Speaker 2: most part, we had a lot of leadership that just said,
- 3:50Speaker 2: we're going to do some things and it seems like
- 3:55Speaker 2: it makes sense to do them. And part of what
- 3:59Speaker 2: I defended leadership is you had a lot of people.
- 4:02Speaker 2: I mean really all of them. I don't know that
- 4:05Speaker 2: because you say a lot of it's all of them,
- 4:08Speaker 2: none of them. Not a single person went into an
- 4:12Speaker 2: elected position in twenty twenty expecting to have to deal
- 4:20Speaker 2: with a pandemic. Nobody thought that that was something that
- 4:23Speaker 2: was on the list of we always have, all right,
- 4:27Speaker 2: we always have the oh no, the bird flew or
- 4:29Speaker 2: oh no, the killer wasps or whatever it is, whatever
- 4:34Speaker 2: crazy name they come up with, the old stingray wasp
- 4:38Speaker 2: and you, oh no, that sounds awful. What's the stingray wasp?
- 4:42Speaker 2: And it must be the size of a human head
- 4:44Speaker 2: flying around, you know, No, it's a little wasp. What
- 4:47Speaker 2: does the stingray wasp do when it stings you? It
- 4:50Speaker 2: hurts more so than a regular wasp, maybe a little
- 4:55Speaker 2: bit more. So we're all gonna be okay. I don't
- 4:58Speaker 2: know if we'll get enough of them. Oh boy, it
- 5:00Speaker 2: could be deadly. That's what we were used to. We
- 5:04Speaker 2: weren't used to an actual thing, you know. And it's
- 5:08Speaker 2: not to say that the other things weren't. You know,
- 5:10Speaker 2: there were definitely people who suffered or died from mad cow.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Did people die from mad cow? I assume they did.
- 5:17Speaker 2: I assume that was a thing. Bird flus and whatnot,
- 5:21Speaker 2: all of those things. They're not good. That's not good.
- 5:25Speaker 2: But everybody kind of had that expectation of COVID and everything.
- 5:28Speaker 2: They just went, if we get something, that's what it's
- 5:30Speaker 2: going to be. And then suddenly it was happening in
- 5:34Speaker 2: all these places around the world, conveniently, places that we
- 5:37Speaker 2: had these super spreader events and sent people sent people home.
- 5:41Speaker 2: People went to China and then they went back home.
- 5:44Speaker 2: They went to Italy and France in these plays, and
- 5:45Speaker 2: suddenly they had these major outbreaks. And we're just had
- 5:50Speaker 2: people at the beginning pretending somebody ate a bat and
- 5:53Speaker 2: that was it. That's all it was. Somebody ate a bat,
- 5:55Speaker 2: No big deal, We'll all be fine. And then we weren't.
- 6:00Speaker 2: And then there was a lot of bad stuff that happened.
- 6:02Speaker 2: There was a lot of bad stuff that happened. People died,
- 6:04Speaker 2: It was real, and there were a lot of people
- 6:08Speaker 2: who made some bad decisions along the way. But then
- 6:11Speaker 2: there were some people that slowly started to go we're
- 6:14Speaker 2: going to make these opportunistic decisions. We're going to say.
- 6:19Speaker 2: And there was one operative, there was a strategist who decided,
- 6:28Speaker 2: this is our opportunity on the left to get Trump.
- 6:31Speaker 2: And then that's what they did. They used every trick
- 6:33Speaker 2: in the book to get him, everything that they could
- 6:37Speaker 2: possibly do to do that, even if it meant destroying
- 6:41Speaker 2: the economy of this country, and that's what they did.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Lives were changed forever, there were businesses closed, there were
- 6:48Speaker 2: jobs lost, careers ended, so many things took place, so
- 6:54Speaker 2: many things, and the response to all of that was,
- 6:58Speaker 2: we make it so bad that our guy's going to win,
- 7:02Speaker 2: and then we have our rubber stamp moving forward we
- 7:04Speaker 2: can do and rather than get in and say, hey,
- 7:07Speaker 2: we have a new president, let's make things better, they said, no, no, no,
- 7:11Speaker 2: this was our chance to get in and make all
- 7:13Speaker 2: these changes, hopefully permanent when it comes to climate change
- 7:18Speaker 2: and all these things, these green energy things, we're going
- 7:20Speaker 2: to push forward. And they just put their feet on
- 7:24Speaker 2: the throat. So the American people and we're still trying
- 7:27Speaker 2: to recover from that four years of this horrible economy,
- 7:31Speaker 2: and look, I thought things were going to be much
- 7:34Speaker 2: better than they are at this point. To be honest,
- 7:38Speaker 2: I didn't expect the prices to go down. That's not
- 7:40Speaker 2: typically the way inflation works. I know that the rate
- 7:44Speaker 2: has slowed down. That's fantastic. That was something I did expect,
- 7:48Speaker 2: but did expect this to be a little better off.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Now the stock market's doing great, it is, so that's fantastic,
- 7:56Speaker 2: that's excellent. And there's a lot of mess that's still
- 7:59Speaker 2: being cleaned up, and you got people resisting in every
- 8:03Speaker 2: possible way to keeping those things from getting cleaned up.
- 8:07Speaker 2: So you get to a point where you have a
- 8:09Speaker 2: president who's ready to do a State of the Union
- 8:12Speaker 2: last night, and all of this is overshadowing it. This
- 8:16Speaker 2: expect four years of a Biden presidency and things weren't fixed.
- 8:21Speaker 2: They were made significantly worse, and we never got to
- 8:25Speaker 2: a point in a State of the Union where we
- 8:28Speaker 2: had you know, most media outlets acknowledging the fact that
- 8:32Speaker 2: it was worse. And now even though it is better,
- 8:37Speaker 2: it's a lot of yeah, but it's worse. No, it's
- 8:41Speaker 2: better than it was. It is. Things have improved, and
- 8:47Speaker 2: last night the president went through I mean, he did
- 8:50Speaker 2: what he does the way that he talks about things.
- 8:54Speaker 2: That's what he does. A lot of hyperbole, that's who
- 8:57Speaker 2: he is. But when you start looking around the room
- 9:01Speaker 2: last night, you know it was Epstein victims that the
- 9:07Speaker 2: Democrats wanted to have in the room to try to
- 9:09Speaker 2: make him uncomfortable. Why would that make him uncomfortable. They're
- 9:13Speaker 2: not people who've accused him. They're not people who've accused Trump.
- 9:19Speaker 2: And this is a Trump tactic. Remember when he was
- 9:22Speaker 2: debating Hillary Clinton, he had the women that accused Bill Clinton,
- 9:30Speaker 2: her husband of rape and sexual assault, and that by
- 9:36Speaker 2: all accounts, all stories, she was the watchdog. She's the one,
- 9:40Speaker 2: the attack dog. I guess she's the one who went
- 9:42Speaker 2: after those people and called him names. That's a good move.
- 9:48Speaker 2: I don't know that putting a sixteen year old ro
- 9:51Speaker 2: Conna who decided that he was going to bring in
- 9:54Speaker 2: a sixteen year old girl, who yes, was a victim
- 9:59Speaker 2: in the whole thing. But you know what she also was.
- 10:03Speaker 2: She was one of the people that he was using
- 10:05Speaker 2: to specifically Epstein, not to confuse Rocanna was bringing in
- 10:12Speaker 2: underage girls to Epstein, getting paid two hundred dollars a
- 10:14Speaker 2: piece to do it. Now, look, she's a victim at
- 10:18Speaker 2: sixteen years old being roped into all of this. But
- 10:23Speaker 2: you start getting to this point where you're saying, well,
- 10:24Speaker 2: wait a minute, what was she doing. She's a victim,
- 10:29Speaker 2: she's a survivor on the other side of it. I
- 10:31Speaker 2: know she'll live with guilt for all of it for
- 10:33Speaker 2: the rest of her life. Okay. I'm just pointing out
- 10:37Speaker 2: the fact that we've had a number of cases in
- 10:43Speaker 2: history of people that got roped into doing something and
- 10:49Speaker 2: they were then charged with it. I'm not saying that
- 10:51Speaker 2: this young woman should be charged with anything. I'm just
- 10:54Speaker 2: pointing out the fact that it's an interesting choice to
- 10:58Speaker 2: go with someone who was not only a victim but
- 11:00Speaker 2: also one of the people who helped perpetrate it. And
- 11:05Speaker 2: I'm not attacking her. She's an awkward position. I talked
- 11:09Speaker 2: not too long ago about a certain celebrity who I
- 11:12Speaker 2: just thought it was an awkward situation to be in.
- 11:18Speaker 2: One particular person who was involved in a very different
- 11:22Speaker 2: sexy I'm talking about Alison Mack, who was on the
- 11:24Speaker 2: show Smallville. She was not only arrested, did time, registered
- 11:32Speaker 2: sex offender, all of those things for her involvement in
- 11:35Speaker 2: that Nexium cult, but she was also a victim, just
- 11:41Speaker 2: the reality of it. And I'm just pointing out the
- 11:43Speaker 2: fact that it's possible to be both. And I don't
- 11:47Speaker 2: know that anyone would say, hey, let's bring Alison mack
- 11:49Speaker 2: in as you know, a survivor of the Nexium cult.
- 11:53Speaker 2: She is just an interesting choice, that's all I'm saying.
- 11:58Speaker 2: I don't know that anyone on the right would get
- 12:00Speaker 2: away with that. That's the point that I'm really trying
- 12:03Speaker 2: to make. We've all heard the story that the president
- 12:08Speaker 2: he invited the hockey team. He invited both hockey teams
- 12:12Speaker 2: to come to the White House. The men were there
- 12:16Speaker 2: and the women said they had other engagements, they had
- 12:20Speaker 2: other commitments. Okay, I know there's a lot of people saying, really,
- 12:25Speaker 2: did they really have other engagements? Do they really have
- 12:29Speaker 2: other things to do? And they said the commitments, they
- 12:33Speaker 2: said thank you for the invitation. There were some that
- 12:36Speaker 2: tried to speculate that it was a slap in the
- 12:39Speaker 2: face when the President called the men's team and chatted
- 12:44Speaker 2: with them and said, hey, I'm inviting you guys to
- 12:48Speaker 2: come to the White House, come to the State of
- 12:49Speaker 2: the Union, and be the heroes that you are. And
- 12:53Speaker 2: just so you know, I'm going to have to invite
- 12:54Speaker 2: the women too, and if I didn't, they'd probably impeach me.
- 13:00Speaker 2: People thought that that was the reason that they didn't
- 13:02Speaker 2: accept the invitation. Was it really that offensive to just say, hey, guys,
- 13:07Speaker 2: I'm going to have to invite the women to. I mean,
- 13:12Speaker 2: it's kind of the way you talk to little kids. Hey, boys,
- 13:14Speaker 2: we have to invite the girls too. Hey girls, we
- 13:17Speaker 2: have to invite the boys too. I don't know, it's
- 13:22Speaker 2: Trump being Trump. He said something, I don't know why
- 13:25Speaker 2: anybody would go, Well, I'm not going to go to
- 13:27Speaker 2: the White House because of that. I'm not gonna go
- 13:30Speaker 2: to the State of the Union because of that. But
- 13:34Speaker 2: I took them at their word. I did the best
- 13:35Speaker 2: I could and said, hey, they had other engagements. And
- 13:38Speaker 2: then I saw a story that people that I know
- 13:42Speaker 2: were sharing or being actively part of the story, and
- 13:46Speaker 2: it was shared by a quote unquote media outlet that said, no, no, no,
- 13:50Speaker 2: The reason that they didn't go is that they were
- 13:52Speaker 2: invited to a different event by Flavor flav and it
- 13:59Speaker 2: says that it looks like they've accepted that invitation instead
- 14:03Speaker 2: looks like is the key. And then you read the
- 14:05Speaker 2: article and there's no mention of them accepting anything. There
- 14:09Speaker 2: was a lot of oh yeah, well, we'll give you this,
- 14:12Speaker 2: and we'll give you that, and come to Vegas and
- 14:13Speaker 2: we'll put you in a hotel and we'll give you
- 14:16Speaker 2: some free tickets to the Backstreet Boys in the sphere.
- 14:20Speaker 2: And the article concluded basically with you know, sounds like
- 14:23Speaker 2: if they go, they'd have a good time. But the
- 14:27Speaker 2: headline was that they turned down Trump so that they
- 14:30Speaker 2: could go hang out with Flavor. Flavor. That was basically
- 14:32Speaker 2: the way it was worded. That's who we are now.
- 14:35Speaker 2: We just present information in whatever way and people just
- 14:40Speaker 2: accept it because er I don't like the Orange Man.
- 14:44Speaker 2: We're still there. We're still there, right, another year in
- 14:51Speaker 2: the White House and we're still there. This is what
- 14:54Speaker 2: we're doing. The spectacle of the State of the Union
- 14:59Speaker 2: is all. We've just entered that phase of say something
- 15:03Speaker 2: very positive, very uplifting, something that people should be very
- 15:07Speaker 2: happy about, and you know, the other side is just
- 15:12Speaker 2: gonna sit on their hands. Not always most of the time,
- 15:17Speaker 2: you get so much of that. They could announce, hey,
- 15:20Speaker 2: they found Savannah Guthrie's mom, right founder, and Trump could
- 15:27Speaker 2: announce that Democrats would probably boo it. I don't know.
- 15:31Speaker 2: Maybe they wouldn't. Maybe they wouldn't do that. I don't know.
- 15:35Speaker 2: So yes, a number of Epstein victims were there, I guess,
- 15:40Speaker 2: to try to make Trump uncomfortable. He really seemed fased.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Sidney seemed really off his game because they were there,
- 15:49Speaker 2: victims of someone that he kicked out of mar A Lago,
- 15:54Speaker 2: someone that he said, I don't like that guy. I
- 15:56Speaker 2: don't want him around. Someone who proceeded to email all
- 16:00Speaker 2: of his friends and other people thousands of times. I
- 16:04Speaker 2: guess with Trump's name because he was sore about it.
- 16:07Speaker 2: He was upset. Ah, but Trump's Name's in there thousands
- 16:09Speaker 2: of times. Trump must be a bad guy. He must
- 16:13Speaker 2: be terrible because his name's in there so much. Is
- 16:17Speaker 2: it a journal of flights? Is it a journal of
- 16:20Speaker 2: like what are we talking about?
- 16:22Speaker 1: Oh?
- 16:22Speaker 2: It's emails where he's frustrated because he can't get to
- 16:25Speaker 2: the guy.
- 16:27Speaker 1: See.
- 16:28Speaker 2: Epstein was getting close to people in power. That was
- 16:31Speaker 2: his job, get close to them, get him in compromising situations,
- 16:36Speaker 2: and also be a big pervert himself. And then he
- 16:39Speaker 2: gets them to be a pervert and do disgusting things
- 16:42Speaker 2: and gets video and pictures and a paper trail. Then
- 16:47Speaker 2: he's got power for him or somebody, right, I mean,
- 16:52Speaker 2: that's the accusation that's floating around, is that he's given
- 16:55Speaker 2: somebody some kind of power over the years, and if
- 16:58Speaker 2: he can't get to Trump in that way, then of
- 17:04Speaker 2: course he's upset about it. So inviting the victims there
- 17:09Speaker 2: that was supposed to be the thing that was supposed
- 17:12Speaker 2: to put Trump off his game, I don't know, did
- 17:15Speaker 2: you see it, because he definitely did not seem faced.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca

- 20:01Speaker 2: stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at
- 20:05Speaker 2: a situation where you'd like to add a screen door
- 20:08Speaker 2: to your garage door system that you can put down
- 20:10Speaker 2: and you can use your garage space as a sort
- 20:14Speaker 2: of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to
- 20:16Speaker 2: work on your own cars in there, or maybe you
- 20:18Speaker 2: just want a little man cavid. You'd like to be
- 20:21Speaker 2: able to open the door up and not invite all
- 20:23Speaker 2: the insects in. They can do that for you as well,
- 20:26Speaker 2: and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse
- 20:29Speaker 2: than that thought of having your car trapped inside your
- 20:31Speaker 2: garage and your garage door won't open and you need
- 20:34Speaker 2: somebody to come help, and they do those as well.

- 20:45Speaker 2: com More West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break, well,
- 20:57Speaker 2: have you ever heard a travel hack that you wish
- 21:00Speaker 2: that you could unhear? And then you think, well, I
- 21:04Speaker 2: wish I could unhear it, And then you think, no, no, no,
- 21:07Speaker 2: it's a good thing that I'm aware of it. I'm
- 21:11Speaker 2: about to share one of those with you, and I
- 21:13Speaker 2: can just tell you you're going to go through both of
- 21:15Speaker 2: those phases. Your first reaction would be why would you
- 21:18Speaker 2: tell me this? And then your second reaction is going
- 21:22Speaker 2: to be, well, I'm glad that I know it, because
- 21:27Speaker 2: that's exactly what I went through when I heard about this,
- 21:30Speaker 2: and it's disgusting, but you need to know, and it's
- 21:35Speaker 2: going to potentially change an aspect of your hotel stays.
- 21:41Speaker 2: If you're one of the people who actually makes coffee
- 21:45Speaker 2: in the room with the coffee maker. So here we go.
- 21:49Speaker 2: Now I know a lot. I've switched over to the pods.
- 21:52Speaker 2: I assume this is different when we're talking about the pods.
- 21:54Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe there's I guess it would be
- 21:57Speaker 2: different with the pods. So how about this. This has
- 22:01Speaker 2: gone now viral on social media as one person saying,
- 22:08Speaker 2: here's a tip when you're on a trip, if you
- 22:12Speaker 2: run out of underwear, you can always put your underwear
- 22:16Speaker 2: into the hotel coffee machine and hit brew and let
- 22:19Speaker 2: the hot water clean them for you, and then finish
- 22:26Speaker 2: the job with the bathroom hair dryer. She says that
- 22:28Speaker 2: she got the idea from a flight attendant who is
- 22:33Speaker 2: a friend of hers, and insists she's not the only
- 22:36Speaker 2: one who does this. Needless to say, people are disgusted,
- 22:44Speaker 2: But I'm telling you you need to know this. I mean,
- 22:49Speaker 2: you don't think you need to know it at first,
- 22:53Speaker 2: but you come around and you think, no, no, I
- 22:56Speaker 2: need to know this. Sadly, people love to say no
- 23:01Speaker 2: one really changes their personality, but science says otherwise, and
- 23:05Speaker 2: it's never too late to change a term of a
- 23:08Speaker 2: team of researchers in Germany and Switzerland found that adults
- 23:12Speaker 2: over sixty boosted their emotional stability and social confidence just
- 23:17Speaker 2: as much as people in their twenties after an eight
- 23:21Speaker 2: week personality training program. Even more surprising is that the
- 23:24Speaker 2: older adults were often more engaged and committed to their
- 23:27Speaker 2: younger than the younger participants were to the change so
- 23:32Speaker 2: much for you can't teach an old dog new tricks, right,
- 23:35Speaker 2: The big takeaway is that you're not stuck with the
- 23:38Speaker 2: traits that you've had forever, and the right tools and
- 23:42Speaker 2: some consistency, you can still grow at any age twenty six,
- 23:45Speaker 2: seventy six, doesn't matter. Your brain is still flexible and
- 23:49Speaker 2: change is within reach. So little positivity there. We usually
- 23:53Speaker 2: save that for the beginning of the show on Friday,
- 23:55Speaker 2: but that's some positivity. Not sure who your real friends are?
- 24:01Speaker 2: There's a friendship shelf theory that will help you figure
- 24:05Speaker 2: it out. Apparently, they say, imagine your social circle is
- 24:09Speaker 2: like books on a shelf. The top shelf holds all
- 24:11Speaker 2: the people that you're closest to, the ones who are
- 24:14Speaker 2: always there for you, support you and richer life. The
- 24:16Speaker 2: middle shelves are for good friends that you enjoy, but
- 24:20Speaker 2: you may not rely on as deeply as the lower
- 24:22Speaker 2: on the lower shelves as the more casual and more
- 24:27Speaker 2: situational connections that you have a little lower on the shelf.
- 24:30Speaker 2: This way, as you're visualizing this, it helps you see
- 24:33Speaker 2: the people who truly show up for you and where
- 24:35Speaker 2: your time and energy are best spent. This kind of
- 24:38Speaker 2: relates to what we talked about yesterday, doesn't it. Health
- 24:41Speaker 2: and Wellness coach Megan Mitchell says that basically the shelf
- 24:47Speaker 2: technique lays out the framework helps you manage expectations, and
- 24:53Speaker 2: she says that alignment actually creates more compassion because you
- 24:57Speaker 2: stop expecting people to show up in ways that they're
- 25:00Speaker 2: not able to and you stop overextending yourself in return.
- 25:05Speaker 2: So there's a lot of self help in the segment today,
- 25:09Speaker 2: isn't there? A new wave of research argues that ultraprocessed
- 25:13Speaker 2: foods aren't just unhealthy, they're engineered a lot like cigarettes.
- 25:17Speaker 2: Scientists from Harvard, Duke and the University of Michigan say
- 25:20Speaker 2: these foods are intentionally designed to be rewarding and hard
- 25:25Speaker 2: to stop eating with additives, and they also have flavor tweaks,
- 25:30Speaker 2: fast acting ingredients that hit the brain pleasure centers quickly.
- 25:33Speaker 2: According to the study, companies use tactics similar to tobacco
- 25:37Speaker 2: marketing as well like health washing labels that make products
- 25:42Speaker 2: sound better than they really are. Basically, the researchers believe
- 25:46Speaker 2: ultra processed foods should be treated more like cigarettes. That
- 25:49Speaker 2: means clearer labels, less flashy marketing, and more effort put
- 25:54Speaker 2: into using simpler, less processed options. So there you go.
- 26:01Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Wednesday edition of the show.
