  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Monday morning, thirteenth day of July. I'm Wes, thanks for
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: joining me. We always talk about how Friday the thirteenth
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: not so bad. Monday the thirteenth, that's the one we
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: should be afraid of. That's the one that should scare you,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: at least on Friday. It's Friday. This is Monday the thirteenth,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: and we're kicking off a work week together. I don't
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: know that's why I think it's better Friday the thirteenth is. Anyway,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: So over the weekend we had the passing of a
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: passing of Senator Lindsey Graham. It's one of those situations
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: where this was a mixed bag figure in politics. You
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: have the obvious, you know, left right divide. I don't
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: know very many people on the left that like Lindsay
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Graham at all, and then there were some conservatives that
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: did not like him as well. And it's really sad,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: and I say this often, that we aren't in a
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: position where you can just say, look someone who was
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: serving in government. It's a lifestyle that is something that
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: there's I know, there's a few different approaches to it.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: But they've chosen to put themselves out there. They've chosen
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to put themselves in a position where it's an elected position. Yes,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: many of the people who serve in Congress, in both
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: houses have found themselves to be unbelievably financially benefited from it.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: And that's a conversation for another time. I'm not specifically
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: talking about Lens, but I'm just pointing out the fact
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: that this is something that people have chosen to put
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: themselves out there for. Not all people in politics stay
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: in for four and he was working on a fifth
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: term that he was running for, and that's not always
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the case. Some come in, they do a few terms,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and then they get out, and that's what they do.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: And I think that if we were just decent human beings,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: we would step back a little bit and say, no
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: matter what you think of politicians in general, no matter
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: what you think of party lines, no matter what you
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: think of even people within your party, a human being
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: just passed away and we should take some time to
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: acknowledge that and nothing else for a little while. If
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: you want to wait some time and talk about the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: career and the legacy of a politician, that's passed away. Look,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: that's I know that this is one of those quick
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: headline things. People are looking for quick reactions on things.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: But Lindsey Graham Donald Trump did not get along in
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the beginning. Graham came around and they well, they came
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: around with each other. I guess Trump had positive things
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to say about Lindsay Graham after his passing on Saturday
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and of course into yesterday. But the sad part of
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: all of this, other than the fact that a human
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: being has died, people have lost family member, is just
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: this thing that we do where we constantly as a
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: culture now feel like we have to pile on someone
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: after they pass. And I'm not going to go into
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: specifics of who, but there were a number of people
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: who took to social media to say things like good
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: riddance and you know, laughing about haha, horrible things about
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: him in the afterlife, things that aren't worth repeating. Some
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: folks even on the far right making some of these things.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: The ultra conservative people, and in many cases a lot
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: of people on the left, folks from TV networks like
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: you know, formerly MSNBC and things like that, with things
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: to say it's unfortunate, and there's some that praised him
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and talked about him, called him a true patriot and
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: things like that. Donald Trump was one of those. So
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: it's just a sad place that we're in that we've
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: let ourselves get to this. I don't care who you
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: voted for, or who you typically vote for, which party
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you vote for, the fact that we can't take a
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: few minutes and acknowledge the fact that a human being
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: has passed is pretty pathetic. And now the next phase
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: of this, and this also needs a little bit of time.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: But obviously, as I just mentioned, Lindsay Graham was getting
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: ready to run fifth time. He'd gotten his nomination to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: run again, and now comes the question of him being replaced,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: and that that has begun. Donald Trump teasing that he's
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: got someone in mind, but he's not ready to go
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: out there with that. Some speculation about the governor of
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: South Carolina being possibly that replacement who's turning out, So
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: we'll see where that goes. But it's it's still really
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: early in that whole process, but there'll be some questions
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: about where that's going to go. And obviously there's a
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: very small majority there in the Senate, and Mitch McConnell
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: has not been around, so there'll be a move. They
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: will give a little bit of time, I think, and
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: then we'll see sort of where things are heading with
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: all of that. But but sad news to hear that
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: just as a human being human being passed away. I
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: remember having a conversation with someone after Rush Limbaugh passed away,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: and I just made the comment to this person, who
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: I know doesn't vote the same way that I do,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: But my comment was simply about how person died, and
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: someone who was very successful in their field, someone who
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: deserved some acknowledgment and credit for the success that they
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: had in their field, whether you agreed with him or not,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: And it was just you could feel the air leave
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the room, you could feel the hostility building, and I
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: just let the conversation go. I thought it was someone
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: who could at least acknowledge the fact that I mean,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I think you have to be so caught up in
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: some kind of anger and vitriol that you can't acknowledge
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: when someone is successful, even when you don't like them.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: It's like sitting back and saying, you know, Tom Brady's
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: not that good, and yeah, yes he is. Michael Jordan's
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: not that good.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: He is.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Lebron James great. I mean, there's so many things that
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: you could say positive about people. You could be mad
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: at Taylor Swift and all of her money and success
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: and whatever you want to do with it. But the
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: reality is you can't sit back and pretend that they
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: haven't had success. And that's just kind of where we
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: are now, and it's it's really, it's really unfortunate, really
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: sad that that's what we've become as a society. We're
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: just not capable of taking a minute and just you know,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: giving someone credit or taking a minute to say, hey,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: someone has died, someone has passed away, and and that's that,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: and we're just kind of not capable of that anymore.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: There's been a couple of things that have popped up
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: here lately, and I want to mention the fact that
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: there's varying levels of who cares with with some of
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: these things. I saw something floating around on social media
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: where my home city of Columbus, Georgia, had made some
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: list of you know, worst city in Georgia or something.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: And those things get passed around on social media. They're
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: usually connected with one particular media outlet that's sharing it
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: because they want people click on it. It's a clickbait thing,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: so it doesn't give me a whole lot of you know,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: credence to its People say oh yeah, but this, and
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: oh yeah but that, and it's in you know, this
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: is not whatever their logic was to call Columbus the
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: most violent or most dangerous city or whatever it was
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: in Georgia. Maybe they're basing it on population and number
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: of crimes per population, whatever it is. I don't know.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I don't click on those. To me, those don't mean anything.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: You can find the same articles attributing another city in
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: your state with that kind of thing, and you can
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: find them for each state. And it's really a giant
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: clickbait thing. And that's what it is. So you can
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: blow even what I'm about to say. There's a certain
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: amount of clickbait thing to go with it. And I
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: talk about these type surveys from time to time, these
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: studies that are done. Oh, in this particular case, the
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: the the people that want your clicks or is wallet hub.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: And I've talked about some of the wallet hub things
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: and I usually kind of do this in a you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: after the break segment, but in this case, I thought
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: it was worth mentioning because of the stuff that's going
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: on with with Columbus and this talk about it being,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: you know, so dangerous and whatever it is. And it
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: was interesting to me because normally these wallet hub things,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Columbus does not get acknowledged. It's typically very large cities
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: and rarely do you get a city of our size
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: mentioned in this conversation and or some of our nearby cities.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: I like to talk about, you know, the states that
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: are in our area when I talk about these things,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: and you often hear me reference kind of where things
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: are for cities in Columbus, in Georgia like Columbus, or
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: you know, Montgomery and Alabama and things like that up
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: to Tennessee and down the to Florida. So there is
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: a wallet hub study that was done, survey study, I
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: guess it's a study. They've put this together based on
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: their methodology, and I think I could find the methodology
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: as far as they how they determined this. But what
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: they were looking for is the most stressed cities in America.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: And they basically said some of the factors that go
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: into this is work stress and that's average weekly work hours,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: job security, traffic, congestion, unemployment, rate. This is I'm just
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: naming a few of these things. And then the next
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: category they have a financial stress the median annual household income,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: share of household behind on bills over the past twelve months,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: for closure rate, median debt per median earnings, poverty rate.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: The next we had fans stress, separation and divorce rate,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: share of single parent households, availability of childcare workers per
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: total number of children, childcare cost. The next area was
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: health and safety stress, and they've factored in share of
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: adults in fair or poor health, share of adults who
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: cannot see a doctor because of the cost, suicide rate,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: mental health, share of insured population, share of adult binge drinkers,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: share of adult smokers, obese residents. Okay, and that's not
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: everything in each category. That's just kind of a general
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: breakdown of things. So they've done this and they've come
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: up with the most stressed out cities in the country,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: and at least with these you're getting a breakdown as
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: far as the methodology goes. And when you hear the
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: number one most stressed out city, you probably would think
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: right away, yeah, it makes sense. It made sense to me,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: And it's Detroit, Michigan. And that's the top of the
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: top of the list, and the kind of the breakdown
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: for just to give you an idea, they say, the
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: work stress rank for Detroit is fourteen, the financial stress
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: rank three, family stress to health and safety stress level
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: is two. So average it out and they get their
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: total score, which puts them in first place. And I'm
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna do the top ten just so you
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: get an idea of the other cities involved in this.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: So Baltimore's two, Cleveland, Memphis, Shreveport, Gulfport, Mississippi, Philadelphia, Jackson, Mississippi, Akron,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Saint Louis. That's the top ten, all right. Birmingham is
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: number eleven on the list, and just kind of scrolling
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: down you get to number sixteen, and that's where we
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: hit Montgomery, Alabama. Just below Montgomery, and not a huge
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: less than a point difference, less than a half a
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: point difference. Is us in Columbus, Georgia as a city.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: As a city that is seventeenth most stressed city in
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: the country, and the scores for Columbus just one hundred
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: and one hundred and ninth work stress rank. That's our lowest.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I guess if you will, as far as the scores
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: go fifth in the financial stress category, thirty fourth in
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the family stress category, and fifty second in the health
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: and safety stress rank. So I feel like, like, how
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: do you feel about Columbus as a city that is
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: that stressed? I guess is my question? How do you
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: feel about this as a ranking for Columbus And do
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: we belong like in that same area with Montgomery. That's
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: because that's kind of where we are. And it was
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: interesting because when I saw it at first, I kind
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: of looked and I thought it said Columbus, Ohio, and
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I thought, okay, but no, because just below us at
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: eighteen is Cincinnati, Ohio. And the most stressful thing about
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: that is the people who call it Cincinnati and the
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: ones who call it Cincinnati. Indianapolis, San Antonio get down
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: to twenty. So just giving you an idea of a
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: couple of the cities that are below us, No, Augusta,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Georgia is at number twenty five, and I think that's
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: it in this top fifty for no Mobile Alabama is
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: in there at number fifty two. So for you know,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: the Atlanta's at number sixty five. Okay is it? Now?
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Think about this from the concept of Alabama cities where
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: they are versus the Georgia cities and where they are,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: and think about how Atlanta is at number sixty four
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Columbus is at number seven. I find that interesting like
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: that they would say there's that big of a gap
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: in the stress level for the UH for the city,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: and I know I went beyond fifty on that as
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: far as it goes interesting, you know, I know, And
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to gauge the time frame on when this
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: breakdown was done just to get were we in the
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: middle of our I guess this would have been before
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: we got into our whole mayor's race and some of
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: our controversy with that, And it looks like maybe this
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: goes back to twenty twenty four as far as the
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: research done on this. But it's interesting that we would
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: be at that point. And I think this is more
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: telling in a lot of ways than this whole thing
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: about it being the most dangerous or whatever city that
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: was just blatantly for clickbait. It's often connected to like
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: a newspaper when you see those and then sometimes you
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: can find the exact same one, and like in Georgia,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: it might say Augusta is the most dangerous and then
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: if you're in if you happen to be in make
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: and Macon is the most or whatever it is. But
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, I can see there being a lot of
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: stress in a town like Columbus. I do. I see
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: it with people. I just don't know about us being
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: that high, and I don't know about us being that
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: much higher than Atlanta. I find that while but to
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: be the most stressed city in Georgia just it doesn't
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: quite seem like the right place for it, does it.
• 16:38

  Speaker 2: to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: what you want it to be and you need some
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: some sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six thorty five eight forty
• 19:57

  Speaker 2: one hundred odccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: right after the break. There's a growing number of young
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: adults who are forming personal connections with AI. A new
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: U gov survey found that eighteen percent of Americans under
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: the age of thirty say that they've had an ongoing
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: friendship with an AI chatbot, while twenty three percent have
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: confided a secret or personal problem to one that they
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: have not shared with anyone else. The poll also found
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: that younger adults are much more likely than older generations
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: to rely on AI for things in their daily lives.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: About twenty one percent of adults under thirty admitted submitting
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: AI generated work as their own. Eighteen percent said that
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: they've hidden the extent of their AI use from family
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: members or partners. Back to this thing about the confiding
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: a secret or personal problem. I mean, I know, you're
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: sharing it with a chatbot, but you're also sharing it
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: with something that's connected to the internet. So just keep
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: that in mind before you're opening up and confessing deep
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: dark personal secrets. I mean, you're basically telling Skynet and
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: the terminators some personal bit of information about yourself. Just
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: be very careful with that, right. Remember that Nexium cult
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: that made popular a few years ago, by largely got
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: extra popular because of some of the celebrities that were
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: involved with it, And just part of the way that
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: worked was they would get people to tell them their secrets,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: and then they had the secrets, and then suddenly they
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: had some leverage over them. Just be careful who you're
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: giving your leverage to. Is that a fair way to
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: put it. Just keep that in mind as you're sharing
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: your secrets with your friend the chatbot. How about that?
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: All right? I'll be honest. This next one I thought
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: was already basically phased out. I didn't realize that they're
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: talking more about phasing it out. But it seems that
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: paper boarding passes may soon be officially a thing. Of
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: the past, with more airlines pushing travelers to have digital
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: only boarding. Now, of course, the complication comes if you
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: don't have a smartphone. American airlines and Emirates have already
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: scaled back automated printing, while a Ryanair am I, saying
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: that one right has gone even further by largely eliminating
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: paper passes altogether. Airlines say the move saves money, reduces waste,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: and speeds up the travel process. Not everyone thrilled, though,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: because the smartphone anti smartphone people or the dumb phone
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: people if you will, would be limited and not older
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: travelers in some cases, or maybe passengers with accessibility needs
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: all at a disadvantage. So some practical concerns there what
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: happens if your phone dies or you can't get your
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: boarding pass to load properly. So while mobile boarding passes
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: are convenient from any travelers, some say the humble paper
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: boarding pass still serves as an important backup as well
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: as a keepsake from the journey. That's the other part
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: of it. You hang on to those boarding I've still
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: got boarding passes from my first trip to Australia. I
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: still have them. Yeah, absolutely, the trip there and the
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: trip home, all right, Krispy Kreme keeps coming up with
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: new way to fatn us up. I mean, I mean
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: it in the kindest way possible, because they just keep
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: making delicious doughnuts and coming up with these different ideas
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: and partnerships. And apparently the newest collaboration is with the
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Girl Scouts, as they have new treats based on Girl
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Scout cookie flavors available now. The Girl Scout Cookie inspired
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: a dozen featuring a donut that tastes like thin mints,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: a limon ups doughnut, and a coconut caramel donut, the
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Old Samoa. It's the PC version of the Old Samoa.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: The three are flavor adjacent to the famous cookies, even
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: including some of the cookie crumbs of the doughnuts on
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: top of the donuts themselves. You can get the cookies
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: like right there mixed in, and apparently they're pretty popular,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: so many folks who have sampled them and tried them
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: saying how good they are. They were available through the weekend,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: so did you try them? Have you checked them out yet?
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: But available of course for a limited time. That'll do
