- 0:12Speaker 2: day of April. I'm Wes, thanks for joining me. Inching
- 0:21Speaker 2: a little closer to tax Day and all that fun stuff.
- 0:26Speaker 3: We're two weeks into April. I'm not really sure how
- 0:29Speaker 3: it's kind of flown by here, but it did, didn't it.
- 0:33Speaker 3: I had a doctor's appointment yesterday, by the way, if
- 0:39Speaker 3: you got like back in joint and things issues, and
- 0:44Speaker 3: I've talked about my issues with my next surgery. I
- 0:49Speaker 3: had some other procedures done before the next surgery, and
- 0:53Speaker 3: I mentioned I don't know how much I talked about
- 0:58Speaker 3: my spine specialist or my the person who's been helping
- 1:06Speaker 3: me with pain concerning my some of the other not
- 1:11Speaker 3: specifically the vertebrate surgeries that I needed. That was doctor
- 1:15Speaker 3: Eric Westerland, who took great care of me. Surgery was great,
- 1:21Speaker 3: repaired my spine. It put the spacers in separated things.
- 1:26Speaker 3: And you know, I talked a lot about that procedure
- 1:29Speaker 3: because that that that's one of those things that feels
- 1:32Speaker 3: like a bigger deal. You know, sometimes you have these
- 1:36Speaker 3: surgeries and it just like it's my neck, you know,
- 1:40Speaker 3: anytime it's it's anything to do with your spinal cord,
- 1:43Speaker 3: it is something that you you know, it feels like
- 1:48Speaker 3: a bigger deal, right, It just does. And I talked
- 1:54Speaker 3: about it because it was gonna, you know, put me
- 1:56Speaker 3: away from doing the show for a few days, which
- 1:58Speaker 3: it did. It had an impact on my voice. It's
- 2:01Speaker 3: still having an impact on my voice. There's things that
- 2:04Speaker 3: I am still working through, and it's just the process
- 2:08Speaker 3: for all of it. When I yawn, it is excruciatingly
- 2:13Speaker 3: painful because of the way they go in through the
- 2:15Speaker 3: us excruciating. It's very painful, but excruciating, maybe a little hyperbolic.
- 2:22Speaker 3: It hurts a lot when I yawn, and it just
- 2:24Speaker 3: has to do with the way they have to move
- 2:26Speaker 3: things around in your throat to get to the to
- 2:30Speaker 3: get to everything as they go through the front for
- 2:33Speaker 3: that surgery.
- 2:34Speaker 4: So I talked about that.
- 2:37Speaker 3: I may I believe I have mentioned my spine and
- 2:43Speaker 3: joint guy, who's a different, different guy, And when I
- 2:49Speaker 3: was seeing him about a year ago learning about some
- 2:54Speaker 3: of the arthritis and my facet joints in my neck,
- 2:58Speaker 3: I know I'm getting deep into the the anatomy lesson.
- 3:02Speaker 3: But that was the initial thing that led me to
- 3:06Speaker 3: the pain. That was the thing that led me to
- 3:09Speaker 3: finding out about what was going on with my neck
- 3:11Speaker 3: and what was going the pain that I had that
- 3:13Speaker 3: I had been dealing with for years. So I started
- 3:19Speaker 3: to go to my doctor, referred me to my primary
- 3:23Speaker 3: care doctor, referred me to doctor Shaw. And he now
- 3:30Speaker 3: has his own office. He's got his own building and
- 3:36Speaker 3: Veritas Spine and Joint.
- 3:38Speaker 4: He's not paying me to tell you this. I'm just
- 3:40Speaker 4: telling you. He's a good guy.
- 3:42Speaker 3: And he met his family and they all came to
- 3:48Speaker 3: see me in The Nutcracker. I'm pretty sure I talked
- 3:50Speaker 3: about them in this regard because the day that I
- 3:52Speaker 3: met him, we were talking about my neck pain and
- 3:56Speaker 3: the fact that I was in The Nutcracker, and he
- 3:59Speaker 3: bought tickets or the show for his whole extended family
- 4:02Speaker 3: everybody that day, Like he was sitting there buying the
- 4:05Speaker 3: tickets before I left the office. Well, he now has
- 4:10Speaker 3: his own place. It's Veritas. It's on twentieth Street. If
- 4:16Speaker 3: you drive, you come up that hill with Piedmont Midtown
- 4:23Speaker 3: on your right. If you're coming from the veterans area,
- 4:26Speaker 3: you see him up there on the left. He's got
- 4:28Speaker 3: the building there up on the left. And I went
- 4:31Speaker 3: to see him yesterday for some follow ups on things
- 4:34Speaker 3: I still have issues with that arthritis and those Fassett joints.
- 4:38Speaker 3: He did an RFA procedure on me, which it was effective,
- 4:45Speaker 3: but it's one of those procedures that you do it
- 4:46Speaker 3: and you're gonna have to do it again at some point.
- 4:49Speaker 3: Most likely sometimes it just takes and you never have
- 4:52Speaker 3: to do it again.
- 4:54Speaker 4: And he did that for.
- 4:56Speaker 3: Me, I guess about a year ago, and we've hit
- 4:59Speaker 3: that point where I'm starting to have some pain again.
- 5:01Speaker 3: So anyway, I was back seeing him yesterday and as
- 5:06Speaker 3: they're making their scheduling my next appointment to go in
- 5:09Speaker 3: to see him, I'm thinking, well, that's that's a long
- 5:12Speaker 3: waist from now. No, it's not, it's not at all.
- 5:16Speaker 3: Today is the thirteenth, And you know, after talking about
- 5:21Speaker 3: you know, yesterday morning, the whole Monday of the thirteenth thing,
- 5:23Speaker 3: it all clicked and I thought, my gosh, no, that's
- 5:25Speaker 3: that's not far off at all. So that's why I
- 5:29Speaker 3: mention it. But if you need a spine and joint guy,
- 5:31Speaker 3: this is the guy, doctor Shaw. Veritas Spine and Joint
- 5:35Speaker 3: is his building and.
- 5:38Speaker 4: Great.
- 5:40Speaker 3: He had a great team before I met some of
- 5:42Speaker 3: the new team yesterday when I got in there, and
- 5:45Speaker 3: just really happy with the work that he's done for
- 5:47Speaker 3: me and we'll continue to do for me. So I'm
- 5:50Speaker 3: just throwing that out there again. This isn't a paid endorsement.
- 5:53Speaker 3: This is just this is my friend and I know him.
- 5:56Speaker 3: He's my friend because he's my doctor, and it's one.
- 5:59Speaker 4: Of those situations.
- 6:00Speaker 3: So just thought I would share that and pass that along.
- 6:04Speaker 3: So we're now two weeks into into April and we're
- 6:11Speaker 3: keeping an eye continue to keep.
- 6:12Speaker 4: An eye on what's going on with Iran. What's going on.
- 6:18Speaker 3: There's so much playing out with with what's going over there,
- 6:24Speaker 3: uh in the in the Strait, and we're going to
- 6:28Speaker 3: see if if this makes a difference. It's going to
- 6:33Speaker 3: take some time, but we're going to see how this
- 6:36Speaker 3: plays out. But when you think about the fact that Iran,
- 6:40Speaker 3: they produce oil.
- 6:41Speaker 4: They don't produce gas. They produce oil.
- 6:44Speaker 3: The oil has to be taken out and then brought
- 6:48Speaker 3: back and if if you know, they're not able to
- 6:51Speaker 3: do that, that's going to stifle them tremendously, and then
- 6:55Speaker 3: there's a lot of countries like China that you know,
- 6:59Speaker 3: are waiting for shipments to come from Iran, and at
- 7:05Speaker 3: some point, China's going to have to say, hey, Iran,
- 7:07Speaker 3: You're going to have to get on Trump's good side
- 7:10Speaker 3: because we've got to keep business going on. So we're
- 7:15Speaker 3: you know, I know, it's mixed bag. It depends on
- 7:17Speaker 3: what colors you wear, how effective people are projecting all
- 7:21Speaker 3: of this to go. A lot of people saying that
- 7:24Speaker 3: this should have happened sooner. Apparently according to some reports
- 7:30Speaker 3: with the meeting in Pakistan, that they were very close
- 7:37Speaker 3: before to getting something worked out, according to some on
- 7:40Speaker 3: the inside, And I guess that will be determined by
- 7:46Speaker 3: what happens. As of recording, no agreement's been made, and
- 7:50Speaker 3: this is where we're at, so we'll see how things
- 7:53Speaker 3: play out. I don't have talked about Eric Swallwell more
- 7:58Speaker 3: than I want to talk about Eric swall Well for
- 8:00Speaker 3: the rest of my life. And it seems like maybe
- 8:02Speaker 3: he's finally just going away. But I feel like there's
- 8:07Speaker 3: something else in this story that's worth talking about, and
- 8:10Speaker 3: I just it's one of those frustrating things for me
- 8:16Speaker 3: when the first time. And look, you don't always get
- 8:22Speaker 3: a perfect read on someone.
- 8:25Speaker 4: You just don't.
- 8:27Speaker 3: But there's times where you see someone kind of that
- 8:30Speaker 3: first time and you just see them and you kind
- 8:33Speaker 3: of get a when you hear him talk and you
- 8:35Speaker 3: just go, I know who this person is. I know
- 8:40Speaker 3: who they are, I know who they're always going to be.
- 8:45Speaker 3: And that's something that happened with him. It happened with
- 8:48Speaker 3: me with Gavin Newsom, it happened with me with Eric Swallwell.
- 8:53Speaker 3: There's just people that they just have this smarminess about him.
- 8:56Speaker 4: There's just.
- 8:58Speaker 3: Something that's there. It's palpable when you just hear them speak,
- 9:02Speaker 3: and that's that's Eric Swallwell. It's just you can tell
- 9:04Speaker 3: from the ego and the attitude and all these things,
- 9:08Speaker 3: and you know he he obviously, you know, we knew
- 9:13Speaker 3: it showed time yesterday that he was stepping down from
- 9:16Speaker 3: the governor's race, and I was asking the question, well,
- 9:19Speaker 3: the people that were pushing him to step down, you know,
- 9:23Speaker 3: why wasn't that sentiment, Why hasn't that sentiment been there
- 9:27Speaker 3: the whole time for him to step down from his
- 9:30Speaker 3: role in the House.
- 9:32Speaker 4: And you know that that started to happen.
- 9:34Speaker 3: Now we're finally getting around to that as both sides
- 9:39Speaker 3: are saying, we need to clean up some of this.
- 9:41Speaker 3: We got these people that have these reputations, We need
- 9:44Speaker 3: to clean things up, you know. And that's true, and
- 9:49Speaker 3: you know, both parties this is a non partisan thing.
- 9:53Speaker 3: It should be when it comes to the way people
- 9:55Speaker 3: are abusing power, and you know, especially you know, you
- 10:00Speaker 3: get into a role in politics and then you're abusing.
- 10:06Speaker 4: You know, women on staff. That's awful.
- 10:10Speaker 3: So and I know people have to have you know,
- 10:13Speaker 3: we have to have some sense. It can't just be
- 10:16Speaker 3: one accusation thrown out and then you just like what
- 10:18Speaker 3: Katy Perry's dealing with, which is bizarre.
- 10:23Speaker 4: And I don't know. I don't know what.
- 10:24Speaker 3: Katy Perry's deal is with Ruby Rose. I can't pretend
- 10:29Speaker 3: that I'm going to know. But if we end up
- 10:31Speaker 3: with like twenty thirty fifty accusations against her, then maybe
- 10:35Speaker 3: there's a conversation to have there. But again, Katy Perry,
- 10:39Speaker 3: in spite of being an astronaut, she's not in politics,
- 10:44Speaker 3: and you know, that's a whole other issue. We're talking
- 10:47Speaker 3: about someone who's holding office, and this is where the
- 10:51Speaker 3: extra concern comes in because it's now being said by
- 10:56Speaker 3: more and more people that everybody knew this. Everybody knew
- 11:02Speaker 3: this about Eric Swalwell on the left, they knew it.
- 11:08Speaker 3: Alissa Farrah Griffin from the View and I'm really I'm
- 11:14Speaker 3: really hitting it today more Eric Swalwell talk the View
- 11:24Speaker 3: and anyway. So she says it was an open secret.
- 11:31Speaker 3: She said Swalwell sat on the Intel Committee, and there
- 11:34Speaker 3: were allegations that he had a suspected Chinese spy, Feng Fang,
- 11:38Speaker 3: who was associated with him in his office. She says,
- 11:42Speaker 3: Now he was not found to have engaged in wrongdoing,
- 11:46Speaker 3: but to me, my spidey senses from having worked at
- 11:49Speaker 3: the Pentagon go off, which is it was an open
- 11:52Speaker 3: secret that he had issues with women and that he
- 11:55Speaker 3: was probably sorry whether he was susceptible to potentially heavy
- 12:02Speaker 3: drinking and to impropriety with women.
- 12:07Speaker 4: I think I got all those words out, she says.
- 12:09Speaker 3: I think we need to remember that winning isn't everything,
- 12:13Speaker 3: and you lose the plot when you think that when
- 12:16Speaker 3: somebody does something that's beyond the pale, and it should
- 12:19Speaker 3: that should be it, and we should move on and
- 12:21Speaker 3: get back to that kind of society I think they're
- 12:24Speaker 3: the victims. The allegations are horrible, They're well documented, this
- 12:28Speaker 3: is I mean, deeply reported. And then as someone else
- 12:34Speaker 3: on the show, I think, jumped in and pointed out
- 12:36Speaker 3: the fact that this was Sarah Haynes, also on the show,
- 12:41Speaker 3: says that this all started in twenty nineteen and it
- 12:45Speaker 3: was on the other side of me too, So it
- 12:48Speaker 3: wasn't like it was part of me too. This was
- 12:50Speaker 3: in the you should know better phase of it, I
- 12:52Speaker 3: assume is what she was going for with that.
- 12:55Speaker 4: Okay, so this is the thing.
- 12:59Speaker 3: If this is well documented and it was well known
- 13:01Speaker 3: and it was this you know secret, why are we
- 13:08Speaker 3: now holier than that? Why did it take getting to
- 13:10Speaker 3: this point before people say, well, wait a minute, this
- 13:14Speaker 3: is terrible, and I talked about this yesterday. You get
- 13:17Speaker 3: to this point where it's terrible because there are people
- 13:22Speaker 3: who want to make an issue of it for the
- 13:25Speaker 3: sake of a campaign. It's like when Kamala Harris pointed.
- 13:31Speaker 4: Out all of the horrible.
- 13:33Speaker 3: Sexist, racist things that Joe Biden said in the past
- 13:37Speaker 3: while they were running against each other, and basically, you know,
- 13:45Speaker 3: he gets to a position where they have to pick
- 13:47Speaker 3: a vice president and I've told you my thoughts on
- 13:49Speaker 3: why they picked her because she was a useful idiot.
- 13:52Speaker 3: She wasn't going to outshine him, and it was checking
- 13:56Speaker 3: their boxes that they had already decided they were going
- 13:58Speaker 3: to check. But the big box they wanted to check
- 14:01Speaker 3: was useful idiot and that's what they found. And they
- 14:04Speaker 3: somehow found a bigger, more useful idiot to be the
- 14:09Speaker 3: running mate for her as VP. But there's always one
- 14:12Speaker 3: of those people. But anyway, so you have this well known,
- 14:19Speaker 3: well documented thing and for people to say, well, we
- 14:22Speaker 3: just wouldn't talk about it because you know, I mean,
- 14:26Speaker 3: it was just out there. People knew, But why didn't
- 14:29Speaker 3: you talk about it? Where was the concern for that?
- 14:33Speaker 3: You have all of these people that want so badly
- 14:38Speaker 3: there to be these horrible things about Trump and the
- 14:41Speaker 3: Epstein files. They just want it now. They start going
- 14:44Speaker 3: after his wife. They want things to be there, and
- 14:49Speaker 3: they're just digging and looking and try. It's like going
- 14:52Speaker 3: through going through your ancestry and you want to be
- 14:55Speaker 3: connected to Abraham Lincoln and you just want so badly
- 14:59Speaker 3: that you'll do anything to get there. That's what they're
- 15:02Speaker 3: just looking for a way to connect Okay, maybe this
- 15:05Speaker 3: email and that email and you put them together and
- 15:07Speaker 3: it meant that. Meanwhile, there's a lot of really incriminating
- 15:10Speaker 3: stuff about the Clintons in there, and I know they've
- 15:13Speaker 3: had their time to speak, but people were blowing right
- 15:17Speaker 3: past that. And my question is, if you're if you're
- 15:21Speaker 3: so concerned about inappropriate conduct, and then you have someone
- 15:25Speaker 3: in the House of Representatives in your party that it's
- 15:31Speaker 3: just common knowledge that he does this inappropriate stuff with women,
- 15:36Speaker 3: where's the outrage. Can we retroactively go back and have
- 15:40Speaker 3: the outrage about Bill Clinton when he was president. Can
- 15:43Speaker 3: we go back and say, hey, he was in power,
- 15:46Speaker 3: he should I'm not trying to go back, and you know,
- 15:50Speaker 3: definition of is is or anything. I'm just pointing out
- 15:53Speaker 3: the fact that we just it's this thirst and quest
- 15:57Speaker 3: and hunger for power that says, you know, we needs well,
- 16:01Speaker 3: we need that guy, so we can't run him out
- 16:03Speaker 3: of here.
- 16:03Speaker 4: We need him now.
- 16:05Speaker 3: They feel like their hand has been forced because of
- 16:08Speaker 3: people running for governor, so they have to kind of
- 16:12Speaker 3: do this. They don't have a choice. They have to
- 16:15Speaker 3: go after this guy. And here's the other point that
- 16:18Speaker 3: I think is also interesting. It's going back to the
- 16:22Speaker 3: Fang Fang thing, and this is the words of Griffin.
- 16:29Speaker 3: She says, he was not found to have engaged in wrongdoing.
- 16:33Speaker 3: But to me, my spidy senses from the Pentagon go off, So.
- 16:39Speaker 4: He was not found to.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Have engaged in wrongdoing with all of this stuff that
- 16:45Speaker 3: people knew until recently, in the last couple of weeks.
- 16:51Speaker 4: But people knew that he was doing it. People knew
- 16:54Speaker 4: that this behavior was happening. They kind of look past it.
- 16:58Speaker 4: They let it go.
- 17:00Speaker 3: And now, I mean, I think this is a great
- 17:03Speaker 3: point to bring up. And I don't think she's bringing
- 17:04Speaker 3: it up for the reason that I am. I think
- 17:07Speaker 3: she brings it up and just says, you know, nobody
- 17:09Speaker 3: said it was wrongdoing back then. I think it's I
- 17:11Speaker 3: think it's great that she brought it up because maybe
- 17:13Speaker 3: it is wrongdoing. Maybe there is something there that people
- 17:20Speaker 3: know about they just haven't talked about. I mean, a
- 17:24Speaker 3: Chinese spy coming into his office while he's on the
- 17:29Speaker 3: Intel Committee. Now, I hope he didn't have too much info.
- 17:35Speaker 3: And didn't she just disappear in a thin air? Wasn't
- 17:37Speaker 3: she just poof and she was gone? And everybody's like,
- 17:39Speaker 3: where where did Fang fang go all right, I hope,
- 17:45Speaker 3: I hope other than whenever he maybe steps down, if
- 17:51Speaker 3: they can actually run him off. This maybe the last
- 17:53Speaker 3: time we have to talk about Eric Swallwell for a while.
- 17:55Speaker 4: I hope.
- 17:56Speaker 3: Today's show brought to you by Columba State University's Coca

- 18:49Speaker 3: any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's
- 18:53Speaker 3: one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
- 18:56Speaker 3: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean
- 18:59Speaker 3: this is a major city attraction that happens right here

- 19:27Speaker 3: city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you
- 19:29Speaker 3: can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also
- 19:32Speaker 3: on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin

- 20:33Speaker 3: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 20:36Speaker 3: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 20:40Speaker 3: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 20:42Speaker 3: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 20:45Speaker 3: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 20:49Speaker 3: sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like
- 20:51Speaker 3: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 20:53Speaker 3: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
- 20:56Speaker 3: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 20:58Speaker 3: all the insects in. Can do that for you as well,
- 21:01Speaker 3: and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse
- 21:04Speaker 3: than that thought of having your car trapped inside your
- 21:07Speaker 3: garage and your garage door won't open and you need
- 21:09Speaker 3: somebody to come help and they do those as well.

- 21:20Speaker 3: dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after the break.
- 21:32Speaker 3: I could probably do a whole show on this topic.
- 21:35Speaker 3: I could probably do a whole podcast series on this topic.
- 21:39Speaker 3: But it's about digital body language. You know what body
- 21:45Speaker 3: language is, and it's it's important in our nonverbal communications
- 21:51Speaker 3: with other people. It's important in a number of different ways.
- 21:56Speaker 3: There's things that we tells that we have expert on
- 22:00Speaker 3: this that are really good at it. You know, the
- 22:02Speaker 3: people that are do interrogations and things like that. But
- 22:06Speaker 3: in general, there's things that we can see and observe.
- 22:09Speaker 3: Some people more observant than others. I've been called more
- 22:13Speaker 3: observant than others about this topic and other things. Just
- 22:18Speaker 3: you know, I can in about ten minutes looking at
- 22:22Speaker 3: any general like family sitting in a restaurant, I can
- 22:25Speaker 3: tell you the dynamic. I can tell you who they're
- 22:27Speaker 3: waiting on to come to the table, all of those
- 22:30Speaker 3: things without snooping. I just look at them and I
- 22:33Speaker 3: can kind of gauge what's going on.
- 22:35Speaker 4: I've been known to.
- 22:36Speaker 3: Do that before so, And part of it is body language.
- 22:40Speaker 3: Part of it is you know, you look at where
- 22:41Speaker 3: people are sitting, how they're sitting, that kind of thing.
- 22:46Speaker 3: There's a thing called digital body language, which basically relates
- 22:49Speaker 3: to the things that we do, the nonverbal things, if
- 22:53Speaker 3: you will, as it pertains to you know, our phones
- 22:59Speaker 3: or social media. How quickly you reply to a message,
- 23:04Speaker 3: for one, the specific word choices that you make, the
- 23:08Speaker 3: emojis that you use or don't use.
- 23:10Speaker 4: Punctuation.
- 23:12Speaker 3: Experts say that people use small cues to decide whether
- 23:17Speaker 3: someone is interested, invested, or disengaged. If you reply too slowly,
- 23:23Speaker 3: then it can signal some distress and disinterest. I guess
- 23:31Speaker 3: both of those things. Anxiety can come from that if
- 23:34Speaker 3: it's too slow, and if you reply instantly every time,
- 23:38Speaker 3: it can come across as desperate. Can also come across
- 23:42Speaker 3: as you've got nothing really going on. One word text
- 23:46Speaker 3: may seem kind of minimal effort or again disinterest. Really
- 23:54Speaker 3: long messages can seem a little intense, especially if it
- 23:57Speaker 3: happens too soon. So the person who initiates the conversation
- 24:03Speaker 3: and how often they do that can sometimes send a
- 24:08Speaker 3: message it's interesting and it's something that I don't know.
- 24:10Speaker 3: If you're like me, once the thoughts in your head,
- 24:12Speaker 3: you're going to think about it a lot more. But
- 24:16Speaker 3: it's a thing digital body language, all right. Couple of
- 24:19Speaker 3: work stories. One of these is basically about it's from
- 24:25Speaker 3: on the site Reddit. They've got a forum.
- 24:27Speaker 4: Called ai ta am I the A hole.
- 24:35Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know how else I don't know
- 24:37Speaker 3: else to water it down, And it's basically someone saying
- 24:41Speaker 3: that in their office on their desk, they keep some
- 24:46Speaker 3: candy on the desk and they said that people are
- 24:50Speaker 3: constantly coming by looking at the candy. They do the
- 24:53Speaker 3: whole like, oh, I'm so bad, this is so naughty
- 24:57Speaker 3: of me. Performance are that goes on before they end
- 25:02Speaker 3: up taking a candy. And she said finally she got
- 25:06Speaker 3: to a point where there was one and she hates
- 25:08Speaker 3: it in general, I guess, but she said that one
- 25:10Speaker 3: person was lingering in the doorway saying, you're so bad
- 25:13Speaker 3: I guess for having them on the desk, and she
- 25:16Speaker 3: said she finally just told her that she was weird
- 25:18Speaker 3: and asked her to stop with that. And then it
- 25:20Speaker 3: turned into like telling other people in the office, like
- 25:25Speaker 3: you know, don't don't go get candy from her desk,
- 25:30Speaker 3: and this woman went to the site to basically say, am.
- 25:33Speaker 4: I a jerk?
- 25:35Speaker 3: I can clean it up that way for telling her
- 25:38Speaker 3: to stop with the whole performance art. So it is
- 25:42Speaker 3: interesting that because I hate it too. I mean, it's
- 25:48Speaker 3: not so much that I've never really been one to
- 25:53Speaker 3: have candy on my desk at work. First of all,
- 25:55Speaker 3: if I had candy on my desk at work, I
- 25:57Speaker 3: would eat it. That would be the thing for me
- 25:59Speaker 3: is if it's just sitting there and it's just begging
- 26:02Speaker 3: to But my wife has like peppermints or something on
- 26:06Speaker 3: her desk that you know, occasionally it's on the shopping list,
- 26:09Speaker 3: and I know what they're for. She's putting replenishing the
- 26:11Speaker 3: ones on her desk. I don't have peppermints fall into
- 26:14Speaker 3: the category of like, oh, this is so bad. But
- 26:16Speaker 3: anytime someone has donuts, anytime someone has some kind of
- 26:20Speaker 3: suites at an office situation, people go through this whole
- 26:23Speaker 3: routine of maybe I shouldn't, maybe I don't know. No,
- 26:28Speaker 3: you're not a jerk for saying cut it out with
- 26:30Speaker 3: the show. You don't need a show to go with it.
- 26:33Speaker 3: One more office place when a new study suggesting that
- 26:37Speaker 3: certain personality traits may influence what kinds of jobs people
- 26:40Speaker 3: are drawn to, which raises eyebrows because it shows that
- 26:44Speaker 3: the professions most likely to attract psychopaths are mechanical or
- 26:49Speaker 3: technical jobs.
- 26:51Speaker 4: I thought it was radio, but.
- 26:53Speaker 3: Researchers at the University of Illinois not a lot, just
- 26:58Speaker 3: some like intense ones. Researchers at the University of Illinois
- 27:03Speaker 3: surveyed more than six hundred college students to see how
- 27:06Speaker 3: so called dark triad traits, which is basically narcissism, machiavelianism, psychopathy,
- 27:16Speaker 3: line up with career interests. They found people with psychopathic
- 27:22Speaker 3: traits tend to favor hands on solitary work, likely because
- 27:28Speaker 3: those roles involved less social interaction. Narcissists drawn to creative fields,
- 27:32Speaker 3: leadership roles, and careers that bring admiration or influence, like
- 27:36Speaker 3: the arts, business, or politics. Healthcare students scored high on
- 27:39Speaker 3: fearlessness but low on traits like meanness and impulsivity, suggesting
- 27:45Speaker 3: calm and resilience matter more than aggression in professions like medicine.
- 27:51Speaker 3: Study also warns that the most potentially harmful combo in
- 27:54Speaker 3: the workplace is leadership mixed with high narcissism and psychopathic boldness.
- 28:00Speaker 4: There it is, There it is.
