Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
- 0:06Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the Wes Carroll Morning Show.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Monday morning, 14th day of September. I'm Wes. Thanks for
- 0:16Speaker 2: joining me two weeks in to the month of September.
- 0:20Speaker 2: How about that? Kind of happened fast. They all happen fast.
- 0:25Speaker 2: We're in the Burr months. It doesn't feel like Burr
- 0:27Speaker 2: weather yet, but hopefully we're getting there soon. Please get
- 0:33Speaker 2: us there soon. Please. I'm not a fan of the
- 0:38Speaker 2: summertime insects. I don't like the heat. I don't like
- 0:44Speaker 2: the humidity. But I really don't like the summertime insects.
- 0:48Speaker 2: I don't like the mosquitoes. I don't like the abundance
- 0:51Speaker 2: of flies. I don't like the roaches. We go for
- 0:55Speaker 2: a walk, and as you're walking through any sort of
- 0:58Speaker 2: wooded area or any place that has a sewer, there's
- 1:03Speaker 2: going to be some roaches crawling around. I don't like them.
- 1:06Speaker 2: There's just this plethora of insects that I really just don't.
- 1:11Speaker 2: The ants just pop up. You get the fire ant bed.
- 1:16Speaker 2: You get rid of it. There's another one that pops up.
- 1:18Speaker 2: There just always seems to be a colony of them forming.
- 1:21Speaker 2: I don't like any of those things. That's one thing
- 1:23Speaker 2: I'm ready to get past. The high electric bill for
- 1:25Speaker 2: the air conditioning, obviously the heat and the humidity, I'm
- 1:29Speaker 2: ready to get the break from. I know we have
- 1:32Speaker 2: to go through this phase of a temperature drop and
- 1:35Speaker 2: then an increase and a drop and an increase. I
- 1:37Speaker 2: know the way the whole false fall thing works around
- 1:40Speaker 2: here in this part of the country. I assume other
- 1:43Speaker 2: parts of the country have a similar thing. But here
- 1:45Speaker 2: in the southeast, we deal with all of those things
- 1:49Speaker 2: and then some when it comes to summertime. And we
- 1:53Speaker 2: have a fantastic screened-in deck that we love to spend
- 1:59Speaker 2: time in. You cannot do it in the summer. My
- 2:02Speaker 2: bride tolerates the heat better than I do because she
- 2:06Speaker 2: was born in the tropics. That's home for her in Australia.
- 2:09Speaker 2: That's what that's supposed to feel like. But She doesn't
- 2:13Speaker 2: tolerate the cold as well. I could sit out in
- 2:17Speaker 2: the freezing cold on the deck, and I'm looking forward
- 2:20Speaker 2: to that. Just football on the deck and all those things.
- 2:22Speaker 2: We're not quite there. We're getting close, but we're not
- 2:24Speaker 2: quite there. During our snow, last year's snow, I sat
- 2:29Speaker 2: out and I watched movies that are set in cold
- 2:34Speaker 2: temperatures on the deck, snow all around me. And I'm
- 2:38Speaker 2: watching The Grey with Liam Neeson. That kind of thing. That,
- 2:42Speaker 2: to me, is what I'm looking forward to. And I
- 2:45Speaker 2: know we've gotten back into football season. The NFL got started.
- 2:48Speaker 2: We've had a second week now of college football. So
- 2:52Speaker 2: that is sort of the early stages of we're going
- 2:55Speaker 2: to get into something a little bit feeling like Burmonts.
- 2:58Speaker 2: And all of the Halloween decorations are out. People are
- 3:02Speaker 2: starting to put up their giant eight-foot-tall skeletons, whatever those
- 3:06Speaker 2: things are called. So we're getting there. There was a
- 3:11Speaker 2: lady yesterday when I was doing some shopping. I was
- 3:14Speaker 2: in Sam's. And there was a lady who was standing
- 3:18Speaker 2: at one of the giant Halloween displays. And she was
- 3:22Speaker 2: trying to trigger it. Like it was one of those
- 3:25Speaker 2: things that motion activates it. And she was kind of
- 3:27Speaker 2: stomping in front of it trying to get it started.
- 3:31Speaker 2: And just to see what it did, I guess. And
- 3:34Speaker 2: I was so tempted... To just get up behind her
- 3:37Speaker 2: and just go, ah! I didn't do it. It probably
- 3:41Speaker 2: wouldn't have been appreciated. I don't know. Maybe she would
- 3:44Speaker 2: have found it funny. I have a wife who gets
- 3:47Speaker 2: startled by just, like, I can be in the room
- 3:50Speaker 2: with her and just move and it will startle her.
- 3:55Speaker 2: She startles very easily. It's just one of those things.
- 3:58Speaker 2: I have a lot of whistles and hums and things
- 4:00Speaker 2: I do to try to get her attention that are less...
- 4:04Speaker 2: abrasive than something that could be startling, but still sometimes
- 4:07Speaker 2: they startle her. So I know going up to a
- 4:12Speaker 2: stranger and going, ah, would probably not be appreciated. I
- 4:15Speaker 2: know my wife wouldn't like it if someone did that
- 4:17Speaker 2: to her. So that's part of my golden rule of startlage.
- 4:22Speaker 2: I don't go up and startle random women. It's probably
- 4:25Speaker 2: not really, in the world we live in now, you
- 4:28Speaker 2: can't do that anyway. Probably not all right, but I
- 4:32Speaker 2: didn't do it, I thought about it, kind of laughed
- 4:34Speaker 2: to myself. And then I got a good look at
- 4:37Speaker 2: her like from the side to see maybe it's someone
- 4:39Speaker 2: that I know. And then I could get away with
- 4:41Speaker 2: doing it and it wasn't anyone I knew. So I
- 4:43Speaker 2: was really sad about that. It's just how it goes sometimes.
- 4:48Speaker 2: But we're inching our way towards cooler weather and inching
- 4:53Speaker 2: our way towards, you know, October is kind of the
- 4:56Speaker 2: Burr month where it really starts to feel like a
- 4:58Speaker 2: Burr month. We did a decent fall last year. We're
- 5:00Speaker 2: waiting on a decent fall again this year, hopefully. We
- 5:03Speaker 2: can get that. I want to start today talking about
- 5:10Speaker 2: a little bit on this Lindsay Clancy thing. I have
- 5:14Speaker 2: said here, and I have said to friends, to family,
- 5:18Speaker 2: to a number of people who've asked me about Lindsay Clancy,
- 5:22Speaker 2: that whole trial, that whole situation, I don't know a
- 5:27Speaker 2: whole lot about it. And it's one of those things
- 5:29Speaker 2: that it's not something that has driven me In any
- 5:34Speaker 2: way to like learn more about it. I just I
- 5:39Speaker 2: don't have that part of me that needs to know
- 5:46Speaker 2: every detail that happened with that trial. I know that
- 5:48Speaker 2: some horrific things happen to children. That's what I know.
- 5:53Speaker 2: And that's hard for me to hear. That's hard for
- 5:55Speaker 2: me to have a deep dive into. I don't need
- 6:01Speaker 2: to know all the specifics. What I know is already
- 6:04Speaker 2: bad enough. I definitely don't need any more. I just don't.
- 6:10Speaker 2: And should I get in a situation where I need
- 6:15Speaker 2: to learn more about it? Because occasionally I'll get, last
- 6:19Speaker 2: week I was asked to come do an interview about 9-11.
- 6:23Speaker 2: And I do get interviewed on other podcasts and TV
- 6:26Speaker 2: shows and things sometimes. And if that came up and
- 6:29Speaker 2: I needed to be some sort of an expert on it,
- 6:31Speaker 2: I would learn about it and I would learn as
- 6:33Speaker 2: much as I could about it. I don't feel a
- 6:36Speaker 2: need to do that, nor do I have time in
- 6:39Speaker 2: my life to, you know, go down that particular rabbit hole.
- 6:45Speaker 2: I don't want to know any more specifics other than
- 6:47Speaker 2: what I already know about what happened. That's just the
- 6:51Speaker 2: reality of all this. It's where I am. And if
- 6:55Speaker 2: you are one of those people who has watched every
- 6:57Speaker 2: second of the trial, if you are someone who has
- 7:02Speaker 2: done all of your research, if you're one of those
- 7:07Speaker 2: people who's been online doing lots of research and using
- 7:12Speaker 2: AI to do research and all of those things and
- 7:14Speaker 2: you hate data centers, that's different. But my point is,
- 7:19Speaker 2: if this is your thing, if you just like these
- 7:25Speaker 2: true crime situations and you're able to flip that switch
- 7:30Speaker 2: and ignore the fact that small children were killed in
- 7:33Speaker 2: a horrible way and learn about all these other things, great.
- 7:40Speaker 2: More power to you. I don't have the time in
- 7:44Speaker 2: my daily life to do all of that, and I
- 7:47Speaker 2: don't really want to know a whole lot more about
- 7:50Speaker 2: what happened. I want there to be justice for those children.
- 7:53Speaker 2: I want there to be justice for everyone involved. I
- 7:56Speaker 2: think that that's important. I know people who absolutely think
- 8:01Speaker 2: that this is a horrible situation with a mother who
- 8:05Speaker 2: murdered her children. I know people who think that because
- 8:09Speaker 2: they read some stuff on the internet or they watched
- 8:11Speaker 2: something on the trial or whatever it is, that the
- 8:14Speaker 2: dad is involved. and that he somehow killed the kids.
- 8:18Speaker 2: And again, I can't comment on any of that because
- 8:21Speaker 2: I don't know. The limited information that I have that
- 8:27Speaker 2: has come my way certainly wouldn't point at the father,
- 8:32Speaker 2: but I'm not looking for a debate. I'm not looking
- 8:35Speaker 2: for a discussion, and I've had people that have tried
- 8:37Speaker 2: to talk to me about it and tell me why
- 8:39Speaker 2: the dad did it or tell me why the mom
- 8:41Speaker 2: did it. And I just, I don't need to do that.
- 8:44Speaker 2: And I say all of that before I go a
- 8:46Speaker 2: little bit into this jury situation. Because I talked about
- 8:52Speaker 2: this briefly on Friday, because Thursday was the anniversary of
- 8:57Speaker 2: the Charlie Kirk murder. And we've gone through this phase
- 9:02Speaker 2: of attempted assassinations of the president. We've gone through the
- 9:06Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk murder. We've gone through the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder
- 9:12Speaker 2: and the guy who killed him. So we've gone through
- 9:17Speaker 2: these situations where we've seen the worst, the absolute worst
- 9:23Speaker 2: in people that were hoping the president would be assassinated,
- 9:29Speaker 2: hoping again the president would be assassinated, celebrating the guy
- 9:34Speaker 2: who killed the CEO of a healthcare company. celebrating the
- 9:39Speaker 2: person who killed Charlie Kirk, and then celebrating this woman who,
- 9:45Speaker 2: you know, is charged with, at the very least, killing
- 9:49Speaker 2: her kids and celebrating it, saying, you know, she's some
- 9:52Speaker 2: sort of a hero and that we should be all
- 9:55Speaker 2: happy and excited and celebrating it. And all of those
- 10:00Speaker 2: things just make me sad. It just, all of that does.
- 10:05Speaker 2: And it makes me realize what a depraved place we
- 10:08Speaker 2: are as a society because celebrating those things is awful.
- 10:14Speaker 2: And there's no real word for how awful it is. Um,
- 10:19Speaker 2: there probably is, I don't have it at the moment,
- 10:22Speaker 2: but it's, it's despicable and it's, it's coming from a
- 10:25Speaker 2: place of evil. It just is. So there's that.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Okay.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Um, and I would say the same for anybody, if
- 10:35Speaker 2: they thought that the dad was really the killer and
- 10:37Speaker 2: they were celebrating the dad and this Lindsay Clancy thing,
- 10:40Speaker 2: but I don't know that anybody was saying like, Hey,
- 10:42Speaker 2: the dad did it. Yay. I don't, I don't think
- 10:44Speaker 2: anybody's doing that. There's people going, We side with a mom,
- 10:48Speaker 2: and we're on her side, and she did it because
- 10:53Speaker 2: of medications and depression. So we're there with you. We
- 10:57Speaker 2: celebrate you for doing that. I don't know. I just
- 11:00Speaker 2: don't understand that side of things. So what's happened now
- 11:07Speaker 2: is the mistrial because of one juror. And there was
- 11:12Speaker 2: one black person on the jury. And it turns out
- 11:16Speaker 2: that this man, this black man on the jury, is
- 11:18Speaker 2: the one person who said he felt like that this
- 11:24Speaker 2: was a murder by this mother. And we're learning more
- 11:28Speaker 2: details from the other jurors who can't come out fast
- 11:31Speaker 2: enough and get in front of a camera and tell
- 11:33Speaker 2: everybody how he just couldn't get past things. He couldn't
- 11:38Speaker 2: get past the evidence. He couldn't look beyond things. And
- 11:43Speaker 2: I think that's very much an indication of where we
- 11:47Speaker 2: are as a society because we have people who say, yeah,
- 11:50Speaker 2: murdering the president would be bad. But you got to
- 11:51Speaker 2: get past that when the president is a Nazi. You know,
- 11:56Speaker 2: because they've bought this. They buy into this idea that
- 12:00Speaker 2: the president is a Nazi. And it's not new. We've
- 12:05Speaker 2: discussed this on this show many times. We talked about
- 12:08Speaker 2: it on radio. I'm just telling you that you go
- 12:12Speaker 2: back to George W.
- 12:13Speaker 1: Bush.
- 12:14Speaker 2: They were calling him a Nazi back then in the
- 12:18Speaker 2: early 2000s, that he was a Nazi. Green Day had
- 12:23Speaker 2: a song. If you need a focal point in time
- 12:27Speaker 2: to say, well, when did we start calling Republican presidents Nazis?
- 12:32Speaker 2: And you need to know, like, if you sit there
- 12:34Speaker 2: and you say, uh, that's not, that's only recent. This,
- 12:37Speaker 2: this hasn't happened, uh, until, uh, you know, this president.
- 12:43Speaker 2: And I think it's important that you go, uh, in 2005,
- 12:49Speaker 2: Green Day released a song called Holiday. And it was about, uh,
- 12:55Speaker 2: George W. Bush. It was about complacency in our society.
- 13:00Speaker 2: It very much had this feel of the thing that
- 13:03Speaker 2: AOC said when she said, you know, no more brunches.
- 13:06Speaker 2: We got to stay in revolution. And this was kind
- 13:09Speaker 2: of calling out and saying that, you know, as a people,
- 13:12Speaker 2: we can't sit back and relax while we're all just
- 13:15Speaker 2: going to sleep. President Gasman is, you know, wreaking war
- 13:23Speaker 2: on the world. And they specifically have a lyric in
- 13:26Speaker 2: the song, Zieg Heil. to the president gas man. They
- 13:30Speaker 2: were calling him a Nazi. They were calling him a
- 13:33Speaker 2: fascist and a Nazi. That's what they were doing. So
- 13:36Speaker 2: this is how far back this fascist Nazi speak goes.
- 13:40Speaker 1: It's not new.
- 13:42Speaker 2: And it's been the case of every Republican running for
- 13:46Speaker 2: president or, um, who has actually served in office. Remember,
- 13:53Speaker 2: they say Trump is an election denier. They denied him
- 13:58Speaker 2: winning the presidency. They denied Trump winning the presidency in 2016.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Trump says that he won in 2020. And there's a
- 14:10Speaker 2: lot more evidence to that than the fact that they're
- 14:13Speaker 2: saying that Al Gore should have won in 2000. Or
- 14:20Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton should have won in 2016. Their evidence there
- 14:24Speaker 2: is that she won the popular vote but didn't win
- 14:26Speaker 2: the electoral college. But every candidate has been evil. And
- 14:31Speaker 2: I told you this back when they thought that the
- 14:35Speaker 2: next Republican nominee was going to be Ron DeSantis, governor
- 14:40Speaker 2: of Florida. I told you then what they said. Donald Trump.
- 14:46Speaker 2: is the worst person ever, and the only one worse
- 14:51Speaker 2: is Ron DeSantis. Think about how stupid that is as
- 14:54Speaker 2: an argument, as a case to make. I don't know
- 14:57Speaker 2: that they understand what the EST means at the end
- 15:02Speaker 2: of a word. Anyway, so this whole notion of him
- 15:10Speaker 2: being evil is the thing that lets them get past
- 15:14Speaker 2: the Yeah, he should be killed. It's bad to kill
- 15:18Speaker 2: the president, but he's terrible, and Republicans are terrible, so
- 15:21Speaker 2: it's okay to kill him. Charlie Kirk, for some reason,
- 15:27Speaker 2: like there's an expectation that you're supposed to agree with
- 15:32Speaker 2: everyone on everything, and then people are still saying, you know,
- 15:37Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk, you know, some things he said, maybe they
- 15:40Speaker 2: were not so bad, but he was still evil because
- 15:43Speaker 2: some of the things he said were horrible. and he
- 15:45Speaker 2: deserved to die, and that they hope he's burning in hell.
- 15:49Speaker 2: These were things that came up on the anniversary. So
- 15:54Speaker 2: these jurors have come out and attacked the person who
- 15:57Speaker 2: prevented this jury from acquitting this woman. The defense attorney
- 16:06Speaker 2: for her has basically come out and said horrible things
- 16:12Speaker 2: about the juror in the case. there has been a
- 16:19Speaker 2: smear campaign against this juror. He was doxxed. His name
- 16:22Speaker 2: came out. Now, he served on a jury as he
- 16:26Speaker 2: is required by law to do when his name is pulled,
- 16:31Speaker 2: and he served it to the best of his ability
- 16:33Speaker 2: and his conscience. That's what he did. That's what we're
- 16:35Speaker 2: all supposed to do. But they've done everything they can
- 16:38Speaker 2: now to taint any possible jury pool and also to
- 16:41Speaker 2: make sure That anyone who might serve on the jury
- 16:45Speaker 2: knows there's an expectation of what you're supposed to do,
- 16:48Speaker 2: how you're supposed to vote as a juror, or we're
- 16:50Speaker 2: going to get you. And this is something that we
- 16:54Speaker 2: have started doing as a society. We have said, like,
- 16:58Speaker 2: we have used terrorism. And this is the left we're
- 17:01Speaker 2: talking about. Let's just be honest here. This is the
- 17:05Speaker 2: left that has repeatedly used terrorism. We're going to riot
- 17:08Speaker 2: in the streets. We're going to burn buildings down. We're
- 17:11Speaker 2: going to set police cars on fire. We're going to
- 17:14Speaker 2: dox you. We're going to let everybody know who you are,
- 17:17Speaker 2: where you live, who your family is, so that you
- 17:19Speaker 2: could be hurt. Right? It's a threat. Remember when they
- 17:25Speaker 2: showed up at Supreme Court justices' homes and said, we're
- 17:28Speaker 2: going to hurt them. This is what we're going to do.
- 17:30Speaker 2: This is our goal. We want to do this. They
- 17:33Speaker 2: showed up at the White House and wanted to drag
- 17:36Speaker 2: Donald Trump out of the White House. kill him on
- 17:38Speaker 2: the lawn of the White House. No one called insurrection
- 17:43Speaker 2: over that. A duly elected president of the United States.
- 17:48Speaker 2: This is just what we do now as a society,
- 17:51Speaker 2: and it's disgusting. It is one of the most horrible
- 17:56Speaker 2: and terrifying things, but that's the goal, is to make
- 17:58Speaker 2: it terrifying so that we could be, and maybe that's
- 18:02Speaker 2: the word, it's a terrorist move, which makes it Terrifying.
- 18:10Speaker 2: It's this objective of scaring us into submission, and it's
- 18:15Speaker 2: gone through. We've just had this story in the last
- 18:18Speaker 2: few weeks about the Friends of Abe, Republicans in Hollywood
- 18:25Speaker 2: who have to pretend for so long that they weren't
- 18:29Speaker 2: conservatives and that they weren't Republicans because their careers would
- 18:33Speaker 2: be threatened. Some of them lost jobs, lost jobs with Disney,
- 18:37Speaker 2: lost jobs with other jobs with Disney, with Lucasfilm. So
- 18:42Speaker 2: maybe that is the word. Terrifying. And we have to
- 18:47Speaker 2: stand up to it. We have to. It's our obligation
- 18:51Speaker 2: to stand up to it. How are they going to
- 18:52Speaker 2: have another jury if anybody who might serve on that
- 18:56Speaker 2: jury knows that their families could be threatened? Today's show
- 19:01Speaker 2: brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca-Cola Space Science Center,
- 19:05Speaker 2: inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and
- 19:11Speaker 2: STEM career holders. that really of all ages. I mean,
- 19:15Speaker 2: they do it for school-age kids as school-age kids visit
- 19:19Speaker 2: the Coca-Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
- 19:21Speaker 2: through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
- 19:27Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
- 19:31Speaker 2: right now. And you can learn more about maybe getting
- 19:35Speaker 2: your degree on their website, ccssc.org. While you're there... Also,
- 19:43Speaker 2: check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this
- 19:45Speaker 2: incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwobes. of Music
- 19:50Speaker 2: from Columbus State University called Music Under the Dome. It's
- 19:53Speaker 2: unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
- 19:58Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
- 20:00Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia?
- 20:04Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
- 20:08Speaker 2: on right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the
- 20:12Speaker 2: Coca-Cola Space Science Center. And the new season of Music
- 20:16Speaker 2: Under the Dome, check out upcoming dates for the shows.
- 20:21Speaker 2: And also check out when the next astronomy night's coming
- 20:24Speaker 2: up where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it
- 20:27Speaker 2: at the Coca-Cola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside,
- 20:30Speaker 2: somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
- 20:33Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming astronomy night
- 20:36Speaker 2: events also on their website. It's CCSSC.org. As Sean Cruzan says, CharlieCharlieSamSamCharlie.org.
- 20:45Speaker 2: I just remind you that it stands for Coca-Cola Space
- 20:48Speaker 2: Science Center. CCSSC.org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
- 20:54Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial...
- 20:58Speaker 2: or residential, maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for.
- 21:04Speaker 2: It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has
- 21:07Speaker 2: parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead
- 21:11Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that
- 21:14Speaker 2: away for you. And while they're there, you can always
- 21:17Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
- 21:20Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
- 21:23Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
- 21:26Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
- 21:28Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
- 21:32Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
- 21:38Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
- 21:42Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
- 21:45Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
- 21:48Speaker 2: door system. that you can put down and you can
- 21:50Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor,
- 21:55Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
- 21:57Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 21:59Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
- 22:01Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
- 22:04Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
- 22:06Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
- 22:09Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
- 22:12Speaker 2: your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
- 22:14Speaker 2: come help. And they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.
- 22:19Speaker 2: More West Carroll Morning Show right after the break. Okay,
- 22:37Speaker 2: this story hits a little close to home for my
- 22:40Speaker 2: entire household. So if you're the type of person who
- 22:44Speaker 2: sees the little spider that's inside your house, I'm not
- 22:47Speaker 2: talking about the big scary one that you have to
- 22:49Speaker 2: stomp and deal with. I don't mean that. The ones
- 22:51Speaker 2: that require a swatter or a broom or, you know,
- 22:56Speaker 2: bring in some muscled help from outside or whatever to
- 22:59Speaker 2: deal with it. I'm not talking about the big ones.
- 23:02Speaker 2: I'm talking about the little house spider that you see.
- 23:05Speaker 2: A little jumping spider or whatever. Well, if you're the
- 23:09Speaker 2: type of person who collects those and puts them outside,
- 23:13Speaker 2: it's not good news. See, we're a family who puts
- 23:19Speaker 2: them outside. And the thinking is, hey, we're doing this
- 23:22Speaker 2: thing a favor by putting it outside. But in reality,
- 23:27Speaker 2: experts say that many house spiders... have actually adapted to
- 23:33Speaker 2: living indoors and will likely not survive once they're released outside.
- 23:38Speaker 2: So common house spiders thrive in the stable temperatures and
- 23:42Speaker 2: sheltered conditions found inside buildings. Outside, predators, bad weather, pesticides,
- 23:49Speaker 2: lack of suitable habitat all face them. In fact, some
- 23:54Speaker 2: species have lived indoors for generations. Researchers say these spiders
- 23:59Speaker 2: are generally harmless and help control pests by feeding on flies, mosquitoes, moths,
- 24:04Speaker 2: and other insects. So if you don't want a spider
- 24:07Speaker 2: living in your space, experts suggest moving it to a garage,
- 24:11Speaker 2: a basement, or some other quiet area of the house
- 24:15Speaker 2: rather than taking it outdoors. Uh, we, we, we take
- 24:20Speaker 2: a lot of, uh, critters outside. I mean, there's the
- 24:23Speaker 2: ones that, you know, that you have to kill. You
- 24:25Speaker 2: got to get rid of those. I'm not talking about those.
- 24:27Speaker 2: I think, you know, the ones I'm talking about, there's
- 24:29Speaker 2: a list of those. Many of you might also feel
- 24:32Speaker 2: the same way. It's about spiders, but the jumping spiders,
- 24:35Speaker 2: we don't mind so much. The geckos that have made
- 24:38Speaker 2: their way indoors. You have to trust me on this one.
- 24:40Speaker 2: They're fine. Leave them be, let them do their work.
- 24:43Speaker 2: They will take care of some of these insects for
- 24:45Speaker 2: you if they've made their way inside. occasionally we'll get
- 24:49Speaker 2: one of those anole lizards that will make its way inside.
- 24:53Speaker 2: We leave those be as well. They find their way
- 24:57Speaker 2: in and out. We've got a dog door. I think
- 24:59Speaker 2: that's maybe where they make their way in and out.
- 25:01Speaker 2: The geckos probably do the same. We don't mind them.
- 25:06Speaker 2: And it also helps when you marry an Australian and
- 25:09Speaker 2: geckos inside their house is pretty common in some parts
- 25:12Speaker 2: of Australia. So we have to rethink this whole thing
- 25:16Speaker 2: with the spiders. I don't want to kill the little
- 25:18Speaker 2: jumping spiders, so maybe just leave them alone, I guess,
- 25:22Speaker 2: is the best thing to do. If you're taking a
- 25:25Speaker 2: daily walk and you have a set number of steps
- 25:28Speaker 2: as your goal, you might be doing it wrong. There's
- 25:30Speaker 2: a new study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine
- 25:33Speaker 2: suggesting it's more about how fast you walk that could
- 25:37Speaker 2: be more important than how much you walk. Researchers found
- 25:41Speaker 2: that people who walk at a brisk pace, about 90
- 25:44Speaker 2: to 100 steps a minute, had a lower risk of
- 25:47Speaker 2: early death, even if they didn't reach the so-called sighted
- 25:51Speaker 2: goal of 10,000 steps a day. The study found that
- 25:55Speaker 2: faster walking was linked to longer life expectancy, particularly among
- 26:00Speaker 2: people getting fewer than 5,000 daily steps. Researchers cautioned the
- 26:04Speaker 2: findings show an association, not direct cause and effect, But
- 26:08Speaker 2: say the brisk walk could be a practical health boost
- 26:12Speaker 2: for people who are short on time. So keep that
- 26:15Speaker 2: in mind. I know people like to track their steps
- 26:18Speaker 2: and they say, oh, this is where I'm at and
- 26:19Speaker 2: I got to get more steps. That's not necessarily a
- 26:21Speaker 2: bad thing. But that very slow walk. And when Jill
- 26:25Speaker 2: and I go on our walks, especially our weekend walks,
- 26:28Speaker 2: and we see people that are walking and it's a
- 26:31Speaker 2: snail's pace, we just think, what benefit are they getting
- 26:34Speaker 2: out of it? going that slowly. But again, maybe that's
- 26:38Speaker 2: the best they can do, and at least they're moving.
- 26:40Speaker 2: So we don't try to judge them, but we're just
- 26:42Speaker 2: thinking if they would just go a little faster, maybe
- 26:45Speaker 2: it would be more beneficial. And apparently there's some studies
- 26:49Speaker 2: to back us up on that. A new survey found
- 26:53Speaker 2: that 30% of Americans admit they've accepted a date primarily
- 26:58Speaker 2: for free meals or drinks. And there's a term for it.
- 27:04Speaker 2: It's a foodie call. Sounds like the other one that
- 27:09Speaker 2: means something else. Gen Z and younger millennials are more
- 27:12Speaker 2: likely to do it, but they're not alone. At least
- 27:14Speaker 2: one in four people from every generation surveyed said that
- 27:18Speaker 2: they've gone on a date where the food was a
- 27:20Speaker 2: major motivator. The survey found women were a bit more
- 27:24Speaker 2: likely to pull a foodie call with 32% admitting to
- 27:27Speaker 2: it versus 26% of men. Dating experts say it's not
- 27:32Speaker 2: always as sneaky as it sounds. Sometimes there's a genuine
- 27:35Speaker 2: interest in the person, but a great restaurant or trendy
- 27:38Speaker 2: spot helps seal the deal. Rising dating costs may be
- 27:41Speaker 2: playing a role as well. One recent study found Americans
- 27:45Speaker 2: now spend an average of nearly $ 190 per date when
- 27:48Speaker 2: you factor in things like transportation and getting ready.
- 27:53Speaker 1: So.
- 27:55Speaker 2: This is my take on this from maybe the other side,
- 27:59Speaker 2: is if there's that person that you've been wanting to
- 28:01Speaker 2: take out and they've kind of been iffy about it,
- 28:04Speaker 2: but you're not sure and you didn't want to ask,
- 28:06Speaker 2: but take them somewhere that fits this category and maybe
- 28:11Speaker 2: you got a better shot at getting a yes.
- 28:14Speaker 1: Right?
- 28:14Speaker 2: If you don't want this to be some sort of manipulative,
- 28:17Speaker 2: sinister thing on the other side, you know, that is
- 28:20Speaker 2: fair play. If you just kind of say, hey, we're
- 28:24Speaker 2: going to go to this hot spot, this place. People
- 28:27Speaker 2: used to do that with tickets to Hamilton in New York.
- 28:31Speaker 2: Somebody who would never go out with you, but if
- 28:33Speaker 2: you had tickets for a hot show, then maybe you
- 28:38Speaker 2: had a better shot at getting a yes. That'll do
- 28:40Speaker 2: it for this Monday edition of the show. Thanks to
- 28:42Speaker 2: our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch
- 28:46Speaker 2: you back here tomorrow morning.
