  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: your day when you're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, twentieth day of May. I'm Wes, Thanks for
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: joining me. I asked a question on yesterday's show, and
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: thus far, no one has really given me any response
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: other than yeah, great question. Still trying to understand what
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the outrage is. And I understand maybe the fact that
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: there's people that have questions as far as I'm trying
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: to have a conversation about it. But I'm talking about
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: outrage over the Georgia mother who is brain dead and
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: pregnant and the hospital is keeping her alive until the
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: baby can be delivered. And there are people angry they
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: want this baby life ended. They are out to end
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: a pregnancy of a person who has no say in
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: the matter. They're arguing that this person has no say
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: in the matter to keep the baby alive. And I
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: think maybe at least there's questions, there should be questions
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: from everybody else that say, well, the mother has no
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: say in wanting to end the pregnancy either at a
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: point where we have Georgia laws that you know, at
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: this stage wouldn't allow it anyway, But that's what people
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: are using this as a complaint for these Georgia laws
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: are unjust, and it matches up with I guess some degree,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: an episode of The Handmaid's Tale, one of those shows
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: that's kind of camouflaged as hey boy, this will make
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: you think. But then there's also this little bit of like,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: you know, feeding you, you know, talking points, And this
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: is a great example of them feeding you talking points
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: because apparently there's an episode of the show where there's
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: a woman who is pregnant and they're keeping her alive
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: so the baby can be born, or some version of that.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: So if you think that you're not kind of being
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: reprogrammed by TV and movies. And I've always been one
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: of those strong advocates of we should have a choice
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: in what we watch in the entertainment we have, and
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I still believe in video games. That was always the
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: thing when I was growing up. Boys, video games are
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: rotten our brains. They are absolutely rotting our brains and
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: causing us to do horrible things. Columbine was blamed on
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: violent video games. I remember that. And then as time
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: goes on and we have more people that have decided
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: that life has no value, and that they can be
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: famous for killing people and you know, doing the things
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: being done in video games, I go, well, maybe there's
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: some there. Maybe you know, we should be able to
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: play video games. But when you play a video game
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: where it's someone you know running around and shooting everybody
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: in the head trying to get ahead and center point
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: center mass shots on people to kill them in a game,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: maybe we do start to lose the value in human life.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: But if a TV show can convince you that the
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: episode of the TV show is exactly what's playing out
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: in this story of a brain dead woman, where doctors
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: are trying to save a human life of this unborn
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: baby and keeping her on life support until this baby
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: can be born, there are dangers. I mean, we have
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: these times where we can see TV shows or movies
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: and we can say, ooh, I did it not long ago,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: and all I simply said, I mean, I didn't try
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to tell you that it's an exact telling of the
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: story of the second Trump win for president. But I
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: told you not long ago that the movie The Dark
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Knight Rises, it just hits differently after Trump's reelection. It
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: has certain feels to it, certain themes that sort of
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: played out in some way. Now, that movie was long
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: before Donald Trump won the second term as president, so
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think it was written to be that anymore
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: than I think that the Star Wars series and or
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: where they're talking about immigrants and papers and people said,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: ah boy, this is a definitely were thinking about this
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Trump presidency. No, they filmed andor long before this election.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: They weren't thinking about the Trump presidency at all because
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: it hadn't happened yet. Now it's hard not to pick
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: up certain themes in shows. I get that, but it's
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: very dangerous when we try to say this is an
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: exact retelling of this story or that story. And I
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: think that when we've seen TV shows and movies that
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: were made pushed into the forefront of ratings or award
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: season solely for the purpose of reprogramming. Even just a
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: group of people. Two thousand and eight Obama election, state
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: of California had gay marriage on the ticket, and they
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: were getting every single eighteen year old, black female, male,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: anybody eighteen years old. You are old enough to vote,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Let's get you registered, Let's get you in there to vote.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: We want to make sure this was nationwide. This was
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: an exciting time. Hey, here's your chance to be part
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: of history. And in California they were doing it there
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: as well. And guess what. They went in and they
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: voted and they said, yes, Barack Obama, that's my guy.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Gay marriage Nope, I was raised that that's not okay.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: And then it didn't pass, and everybody thought, how did
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: California not pass? And then the truth was they had
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: a problem with this. Really when it comes to homosexuality,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: really conservative contingency of the country. You take for granted
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: your voters, you take for granted they're going to vote
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: the way you tell them to, and then you realize, oh,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: there are some issues that you should start thinking of
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: them as human beings and not just as a generic
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: block voter. So what did they do. Hollywood said, we're
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: going to do this show called Empire, and it's going
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: to be about this family, this mogul, and we're going
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: to make sure that their prominent gay son is in
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the show. We're going to change the way people think
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: about gay people. They did it with Anthony Anderson and
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: he had a show, Blackish, and they had storylines in
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: that they were meant to, you know, there was a
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: storyline with I think Raven Simone played his sister and
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: it was a it's supposed to be like, you know,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: she's gay, but she's all right by us, you know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the sitcom format of everybody's got a problem, and then
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: by the end of the episode, it's all fixed. They
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: also had an episode where I don't know if it
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: was Key or Peel. It was one of those guys.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I think it's Key, right. I know one of them
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: is kind of writing and directing more so, and Key,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I guess is in all the commercials. But he played
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: a Republican that one of the kids in the show
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Blackish was dating their daughter or something or their son,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: whatever it was, and the family lost their mind. You
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: can't be black and be a Republican. And I thought, okay, well,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: this will be a humorous storyline, and then by the
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: end of the episode the resolution was no, you cannot
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: be black and be a Republican.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: That was the last.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Episode of the show that I watched. And I like
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Anthony Anderson, I like Lawrence Fishburne. I thought, man, this
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: will be a fun show to watch. Now they do
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: it to shape how you think they do it with
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: and we've talked about this before it's been a while.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: But you know, you get an audience of people like
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: a talk show or you know, the view, one of
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: those type shows, and I say a talk show, like
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: a late night show, the views. A talk show obviously
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: get an audience full of people that are going to
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: clap on their talking points, and people watching at home
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: might just look at it and go, wow, this is
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: how people think. Everybody feels this way. It's a reassurance
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I should vote this way, I should think this. What's
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: wrong with me if I disagree with all of these people?
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: This is what everybody feels. So yes, a show like
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Handmaid's Tale is a show that puts this stuff out
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: there to make you feel like women are just ridiculously
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: oppressed in society and there's basically just a strong, hard
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: there's no hope for women because you know that's what
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: That's just how things are. They're basically just forced to
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: be part of this patriarchy, right, one of those hit words.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Oh we did that with Barbie, didn't we? The Barbie movie?
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Let us know quickly men, bad women good Now it
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: kind of comes around, but we had to sit through
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: most of the movie of you know, patriarchy patriarch, patriarchy,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: men bad men bad men bad. And I say all
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: of this to bring this topic up because now former
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: First Lady, former candidate for President Hillary Clinton is basically
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: saying that, hey, you lady Republicans, Hey you women Republicans,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: not her words, but that's who she was addressing. She says,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: to them, of them, And this goes back to May
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: the first, and she said, for women that want to
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: be a Republican president, don't be a handmaiden to the patriarchy,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: which kind of eliminates every woman on the other side
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: of the aisle except for very few. And in this
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: talk she referenced a couple of people. She talked about
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Lisa Murkowski, Senator in Alaska and says, that's one of
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: the few women that thinks on her own, one of
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: the few or that she respects, but you know, isn't
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: part of this patriarchy. And I mentioned this it's because
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: we're here in this time where we have this thing
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: playing out in Georgia where people are saying it's it's
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Handmaid's Tale, it's this episode of this show. She says, look, first,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: we have to get there, and it is, you know,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: obviously so much harder than it should be. So you know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: if a woman runs who I think would be a
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: good president, as I thought Kamala Harris would be, and
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: as I knew I would be, I will support that woman.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: So yeah, this notion of you have to support someone
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: because of their gender, you have to support someone because
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: of their race, you have to do that, it will be.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: We don't know. We have no clue what this next
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: election cycle is going to be. Like, I know, we
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: had Trump sort of teasing everyone at this idea that
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: he might run again and even though he's out, he's
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: out of opportunities, but he started throwing a names around.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: One of those was Marco Rubio. It would be interesting
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: to see a Marco Rubio run for president. You know,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: he ran once before against Trump and did not didn't
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: make it to the nominee stage, but he is definitely
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: currently working on improving that resume and getting things looking
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: looking great. So anyway, we are in a time where yes,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the movies, the TV shows, the music, the video games
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: are having some sort of an impact, and we're kidding
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: ourselves if we think that they're not. And it's a
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: it's a tough time to try to enjoy entertainment, because
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: for the most part, if you are going to the
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: movies and paying for a ticket, you're probably supporting a
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: candidate that you if you're listening to the show, maybe
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: you wouldn't normally support that candidate. Uh, I've got friends,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I've got people that I care about that have said, hey,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: times are tight for me financially. Is there any chance
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: that my friends could go to this, you know, go
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: fund me and support me? And you know that takes courage,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I think for many people to say, hey, look, I'm
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: in this position and I don't know what else to
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: do and I would like some help. First of all,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: would I would never give a dollar on gofund me
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: because again, it's much like our federal government. Someone's going
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: to get a piece of that other than the person
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: you're trying to give it to. But for somebody to say, look,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I need some help, and it's in some cases it's
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: been people that I know that make donations to political
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: parties period, but especially if they're ones that I don't
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: agree with, and I think, well, where's what's my money
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: going to? Where's it going? Is it going to support
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: a political candidate that I would never vote for? In
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: a hundred thousand years. I would never vote for them,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: And we do that whenever we pay for one of
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the subscription services on TV. We do that, whenever we
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: buy movie tickets, we do that, whenever we pay to
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: go to a concert. Think about the cost of a
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Taylor Swift concert and how she definitely raised the bar
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: for how much money people are asking for now for concerts,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: so much so that there's actually a concert that I'd
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: really like to go to. And when you work in
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: radio for a really long time and you program radio stations,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: you often don't pay to go to concerts. She get
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: invited and you just go, and that's one of the
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: ways that you get very spoiled. It's just part of
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: the business. And I don't know the last time I
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: paid for a concert ticket. It was for someone else.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: It was a gift for someone that I bought a
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: concert ticket, and I'm sure that I tried to get
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: them through some sort of a connection before I paid
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: for them, but I wanted the person to be able
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: to enjoy the concert. But my point is, when I
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: went to buy or look at the price of a
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: ticket for a show coming up, I didn't really know
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: what it was going to be because of what's happened
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: with Taylor Swift and Pink and some of these other
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: shows that are getting you know, a lot of money
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: for a ticket to sit up in the rafters. And
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: I think, okay, well people are you know, it's there's
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: a demand, people want to go see her. And then
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: you go, wait, how much is she donating to political candidates?
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: How much is how much of a donor is she
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: with that particular money? Interesting, the left is much more
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: aware of that because you know, they'll key your car
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: if you aren't driving the right kind of car or
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: whatever they got to do. But the right kind of says, well,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: what else am I going to do? If I want
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: to watch the Marvel movies, I'm gonna have to give
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: some money to Disney or I really want to take
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: my family to Disney and be able to enjoy the
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: park that I enjoyed as a kid. So you're kind
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: of stuck unless you just go nope, I'm boycotting everything entertainment.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: So we're kind of all in this position where we
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: have to support something that is supporting I don't even
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: remember which is it in Netflix or Hulu? One of
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: those has a Handmaid's tail, and I just sit there
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: and I think, Yeah, if you're paying for that service,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: then you're supporting that show. And I get the feeling
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: this Georgia case. Maybe there may be some more to
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: this as it goes on. Once this baby's born. What's
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: going to happen, where's all this going to go? And
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: how much is all of this going to play out
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: when it comes to the next election cycle. But here
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: we are again, former candidate for president, still a sore loser.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: You can tell it's still there. She's still not happy
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: that it wasn't her. She's apparently not happy that it
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: wasn't Kamala Harris, and she's letting everybody know, you should
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: have just voted for the woman, especially if you're a woman,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: you just vote for the woman. That's what you do,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: that's what you're supposed to do. And she's trying to
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: tell us that that's what she would do, that that's
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: what she would do, you know, assuming it's not a
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: woman that's going to be a handmaid into the patriarchy.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State Universities Coca

• 20:39
  Speaker 2: the break Well, this feud between Donald Trump and Bruce
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Springsteen continues on Springsteen Now at a couple of shows,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: while Overseas has spoken out against Trump and now Trump
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: on truth Social asking how much did Kamala Harris pay
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Bruce Springsteen for his poor performance during her campaign for president?
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Why did he accept that money if he's such a
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: fan of hers. Isn't that a major and illegal campaign contribution?
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: What about Beyonce and how much went to Oprah and Bono?
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: And he said, Well, he went on to say, I'm
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: going to call for a major investigation into this matter.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Candidates aren't allowed to pay for endorsements, which is what
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Kamala did under the guise of paying for entertainment. In addition,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: this was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: build up sparse crowds. It's not legal for those unpatriotic entertainers.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: This was a corrupt and unlawful way to capitalize on
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: a broken system. I guess. New York Times says that
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: the celebrities involved in the campaign stops were not paid.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: It went towards support staff and production. However, we did
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: hear stories and reports during the campaigns that people were
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: paid to be there, and there were questions about the
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: ones that did not perform and why they were getting
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: very large amounts of money to make these appearances. Look,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they were getting paid illegally or not.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I do think it's a fair question to ask, certainly
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: think it's a fair it's a valid question to ask
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: at the very least, so you know, all right, we're
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: more than midway through May. We're in the final week
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: of school for many kids in the area. Some have
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: already finished, but we're inching our way towards June, which
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: is when you know, wedding season sort of begins. So
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: the question is is there an ideal age to get married?
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: And opinions differ among people and countries. Pew Research surveyed
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: people in eighteen different countries found that, on average, the
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: ideal age for marriage is just under twenty six. Things
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: like culture, religion, economics, evolving views on independence play a
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: huge role in determining what people believe to be the
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: right time to get married. In the US, the ideal
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: age is about twenty six and a half. Countries in
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Asia leaning towards a younger age like twenty one. Latin
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: American countries basically say a little closer to thirty would
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: be ideal average age for a marriage in the US,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: just for to lay it out, what people say, twenty
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: six and a half thirty point two, it's really specific
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: for men at twenty eight point six for women. So
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: there you go. With wedding season approaching, if you're attending
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: one or more, you may notice some old traditions that
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: are gone and new ones being created. According to wedding
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: planners and designers, wedding trends for to possibly experience if
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: you go to a wedding this year, fewer guests, couples
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: hosting more intimate weddings with a smaller guest list. I
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: wonder if that's a full you know, rollover from COVID
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Maybe Florida ceiling decorations, bold, colorful designs, lots of flowers,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: focus being largely on food. Couples are trade trading plated
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: dinners with multicultural food stations, food trucks, and other clever options,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: and then breaking with tradition. Brides and grooms letting go
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: of some or all traditions like family photos, parent dances,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: cake cutting, bouquet tosses. Some couples are choosing to have
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: the speeches during the rehearsal dinner rather than at the
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: actual wedding reception. Interesting scientists are saying. We talked about
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: this on the Mate of Stars podcast last week, so
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: you can check this out. As the end of the
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: world and the end of the universe is now apparently
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: not as far off as many scientists once thought. So basically,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: scientists are now saying that the end it could be
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: sooner than they thought. Now would you start talking about
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: how far away this was? They believed before it was
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: ten to the power of eleven hundred years. Now they're
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: saying ten to the power of seventy eight years. So
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: that's a ten followed by seventy seven more zeros, So
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: that's a long time away. We're not close to the
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: end of time. But you know, with scientists checking things
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: out and saying, we may not have as much time
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: as we used to think that we had. Now I
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: know that we had been told, at least here on earth,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: that we have two years. That's always that, it's always twelve.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: In twelve years, you know, everything's going to be underwater,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: there'll be no more ice, it'll be too hot to
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: go outside, all those things, and then twelve years pass
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: and be no, no, no, twelve more years if you
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: don't give us some money for green energy, and then
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: it doesn't happen. So I'm wondering if in ten to
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: the power of seventy eight years, they'll be making the
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: same excuses. We hope, I hope that's the case. That'll
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: do it for this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll
