Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, fifth day of March. I'm West Thanks for
- 0:16Speaker 2: joining me. It's the day after this Joint Session speech.
- 0:24Speaker 2: This it'd be a State of the Union, except you know,
- 0:27Speaker 2: he just went back in, so it's not technically a state.
- 0:30Speaker 2: He's kind of a state of the Union. It's kind
- 0:32Speaker 2: of what his speech was last night. What'd you think?
- 0:37Speaker 2: How did he do? He was Trump? But he was
- 0:43Speaker 2: this new Trump wasn't he was? This is kind of
- 0:45Speaker 2: his element. This is his thing. Now. I know we've
- 0:50Speaker 2: done this and we've talked about this kind of a
- 0:52Speaker 2: great length about the fact that you do a disservice
- 0:57Speaker 2: to a politician when you don't give them an opportunity
- 1:03Speaker 2: to go out and campaign. You don't give them an
- 1:05Speaker 2: opportunity to primary, when you don't give them an opportunity
- 1:10Speaker 2: to debate, when you don't give them the opportunity to
- 1:14Speaker 2: be out in front of people and speaking, it's a
- 1:19Speaker 2: disservice to that person as a candidate, and it's especially
- 1:23Speaker 2: a disservice to the people if they end up winning
- 1:26Speaker 2: somehow so you can't the whole thing with Biden. I
- 1:31Speaker 2: mean not sending him out to campaign during COVID. That
- 1:35Speaker 2: was obviously strategy. That was sort of not wasting that tragedy,
- 1:42Speaker 2: not wasting that situation that they were in. They thought, well,
- 1:46Speaker 2: we'll do this, people won't know that he's kind of
- 1:48Speaker 2: mentally not all here. I think he was more there
- 1:51Speaker 2: then than obviously he was even a year ago at
- 1:55Speaker 2: this point. But they really took advantage of being able
- 1:58Speaker 2: to kind of hide him in and keep him away
- 2:01Speaker 2: from things. But that's a different situation. He's a seasoned politician. Sure,
- 2:04Speaker 2: he sticks his foot in his mouth a lot. He
- 2:07Speaker 2: says a lot of dumb things and has in his
- 2:12Speaker 2: time in politics the thirty plus years, and you know,
- 2:16Speaker 2: prone to say incredibly racist things and insensitive things over
- 2:21Speaker 2: the years. I'm not going to go into examples. You
- 2:24Speaker 2: can look those up, but I'm really getting, of course,
- 2:28Speaker 2: to where we get to these scenarios where you take
- 2:30Speaker 2: somebody like Kamala Harris who tried to run for president
- 2:34Speaker 2: and then didn't make it through the primaries. It didn't
- 2:38Speaker 2: make it very far at all, one of the first
- 2:40Speaker 2: ones out, so she kind of missed that whole process really,
- 2:45Speaker 2: and then she was just out of the race. And
- 2:47Speaker 2: then suddenly she's back in again as the VP pick,
- 2:50Speaker 2: and you know, you do some speeches and things, but
- 2:53Speaker 2: it's a VP. You have your one debate, you have
- 2:57Speaker 2: you know, your you're just not getting the same sort
- 3:02Speaker 2: of battle testing if you will, that you get in
- 3:05Speaker 2: other scenarios. And then of course we got to last
- 3:09Speaker 2: year and Biden was, you know, running again, and you
- 3:13Speaker 2: know the story he was in, and Democrats decided, he's
- 3:19Speaker 2: just not doing great in the debate. We're gonna have to,
- 3:22Speaker 2: you know, eventually, just pressure him out the door. And
- 3:25Speaker 2: then no primary, No, we're just gonna pick who it's
- 3:29Speaker 2: gonna be. It's gonna be her. She had no Harris,
- 3:33Speaker 2: had no real chance to face anybody in a debate,
- 3:38Speaker 2: and she just was coddled by a press that just
- 3:41Speaker 2: gave her opportunities to kind of say the same thing,
- 3:44Speaker 2: or I was born in a middle class family, I
- 3:46Speaker 2: worked at McDonald's, whatever it was. All the things that
- 3:49Speaker 2: were said that were just sort of on repeat, the
- 3:52Speaker 2: same speech given over and over and over again. Versus
- 3:57Speaker 2: a candidate like Trump who has he feeds on the
- 4:02Speaker 2: energy of these crowds, and this last night was a
- 4:07Speaker 2: great example of that, even in a situation where half
- 4:11Speaker 2: of the room loved him, the other half hates him,
- 4:15Speaker 2: and we got a very clear look at where he
- 4:19Speaker 2: is as the guy, the returning champion, coming back to
- 4:23Speaker 2: the coming back to the ring with the belt on.
- 4:28Speaker 2: If you will to follow the boxing or wrestling or
- 4:31Speaker 2: MMA analogy, I mean, he came back in. We'll do
- 4:35Speaker 2: a football analogy. He came back in so they could
- 4:37Speaker 2: raise the banner, you know, in the stadium. They he
- 4:40Speaker 2: came in to raise the pennant. We go through all
- 4:44Speaker 2: the sports. But my point is he was coming back
- 4:47Speaker 2: in with that chip on his shoulder that everybody, I
- 4:51Speaker 2: think could relate to. I think everybody understood. Everybody knew
- 4:56Speaker 2: that when at the point I guess when he was
- 4:59Speaker 2: a officially charged and indicted and got mug shots. Remember
- 5:05Speaker 2: the mug shot. Remember how important that mugshot was in
- 5:09Speaker 2: history and how it will go down in history as
- 5:13Speaker 2: such a significant moment. I mean, it's a way better
- 5:16Speaker 2: mug shot in history than the old Nick Nolty one.
- 5:21Speaker 2: So the mugshot became kind of this moment where people said,
- 5:26Speaker 2: wait a minute, what are they doing to him? What's happening.
- 5:30Speaker 2: For some people, it was hey, that was my president.
- 5:33Speaker 2: For some others it was like, should they be doing
- 5:36Speaker 2: that to him? And then obviously people on the extreme
- 5:40Speaker 2: far left were celebrating and Aha, we got him. But
- 5:43Speaker 2: then that's when things kind of started to turn and
- 5:46Speaker 2: people started to say, well, wait a minute, they can
- 5:49Speaker 2: do that to him, can they do that to me?
- 5:52Speaker 2: And then people started to relate to him even more,
- 5:55Speaker 2: and they remembered some of the things he did in
- 5:57Speaker 2: his first term, and they started to say, well, wait
- 5:59Speaker 2: a minut, this guy's not We've been given a candidate
- 6:06Speaker 2: that we're supposed to support on the left that nobody
- 6:08Speaker 2: voted for. Not a single person voted for Kamala Harris
- 6:12Speaker 2: to be the nominee, and she just was put in there,
- 6:16Speaker 2: and it starts to smell of issues and you realize
- 6:20Speaker 2: this is a party that's in troubles. Those were the
- 6:23Speaker 2: first real indicators that this was going south, and it
- 6:27Speaker 2: was going south fast. The country wasn't better off. I've
- 6:32Speaker 2: argued this repeatedly. If Joe Biden becomes the president after
- 6:37Speaker 2: the twenty twenty election, if he gets sworn in twenty
- 6:39Speaker 2: twenty one, and they genuinely made an effort to start
- 6:43Speaker 2: rebuilding the economy, rebuilding lives for families, helping them get
- 6:50Speaker 2: back on their feet post COVID. There'd be no question,
- 6:54Speaker 2: no question at all about whether or not Democrats could
- 6:58Speaker 2: have held control of things. But that's not what they did.
- 7:01Speaker 2: They realized, we have this opportunity. We want to push
- 7:05Speaker 2: things through because we can. We have things that we
- 7:10Speaker 2: think are important, whether the American people think they're important
- 7:13Speaker 2: or not. We're going to push these things through. This
- 7:16Speaker 2: is what we want to do. So we're going to
- 7:19Speaker 2: do it while we have the opportunity to do it.
- 7:22Speaker 2: And they did it all clumsily. They did it all
- 7:24Speaker 2: with someone who was probably just a figurehead of a
- 7:28Speaker 2: president who just sort of you know their stories, whether
- 7:31Speaker 2: these are true or not, but you hear these stories.
- 7:37Speaker 2: Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, said that there was
- 7:40Speaker 2: a moment where he sat down after he became speaker
- 7:43Speaker 2: and he met with Joe Biden. They didn't want him
- 7:45Speaker 2: to meet with Biden. He finally got a time with
- 7:48Speaker 2: him and he was explaining to him that there was
- 7:50Speaker 2: some legislation that he had signed, and Biden said, I
- 7:53Speaker 2: never signed that. I'm against that, and he said, no,
- 7:56Speaker 2: you signed it, and Biden admitted to him I was
- 8:00Speaker 2: told this was something else. So he was signing things apparently,
- 8:04Speaker 2: according to this story coming from a speaker Johnson, that
- 8:09Speaker 2: he didn't even know what they said. So this figurehead
- 8:12Speaker 2: guy who was just signing things away, and whoever, whoever
- 8:16Speaker 2: is behind the scenes, whoever cash Betel, is looking under
- 8:19Speaker 2: rocks to find I guess are the uh you know,
- 8:24Speaker 2: the people that are just pushing whatever agenda through. That's
- 8:28Speaker 2: the sign that this was. We had we had issues.
- 8:30Speaker 2: We knew we had issues. When you see an administration,
- 8:37Speaker 2: I almost feel badly blaming Biden for a lot of it.
- 8:39Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's his fault ultimately, because the bucks
- 8:42Speaker 2: should stop there and he was supposed to be the president.
- 8:46Speaker 2: But we don't really know what the deal was behind
- 8:48Speaker 2: the scenes. We don't really know what was agreed to.
- 8:50Speaker 2: We don't we don't know, we don't know how all
- 8:52Speaker 2: that played out. But what we know is that someone
- 8:55Speaker 2: in that administration decided we're going to go after Trump
- 8:58Speaker 2: and prosecute him. They'd gotten away with the silliness of
- 9:02Speaker 2: we're gonna impeach him when he was president, and then
- 9:04Speaker 2: with no chance of convicting him, we're gonna impeach him
- 9:07Speaker 2: again just because we can. We want to hang these
- 9:11Speaker 2: embarrassing things on him and hope it makes him go away.
- 9:13Speaker 2: And then they tried to make him go away by
- 9:15Speaker 2: prosecuting him, and it just didn't work, and the American
- 9:19Speaker 2: people saw it. Now, the far left people that are
- 9:23Speaker 2: always going to vote far left, you know, whenever we
- 9:25Speaker 2: talk about these things, you got to take You got
- 9:27Speaker 2: the far left people, and you got the far right people.
- 9:29Speaker 2: They're locked in. They're not going anywhere. Okay. It's those
- 9:33Speaker 2: people that are somewhere left of center and right of
- 9:38Speaker 2: center and then dead center. Those are the people that
- 9:40Speaker 2: are making these decisions in these elections. These are the
- 9:44Speaker 2: people that ultimately might sway one way or the other.
- 9:47Speaker 2: They're certainly leaning in one direction. But then there's this
- 9:50Speaker 2: handful that's right there in the middle, just left of center,
- 9:55Speaker 2: just right. I don't know if anybody is really dead center.
- 9:58Speaker 2: I know Matthew McConaughey us that he is, but I
- 10:01Speaker 2: don't know that he really is. He wanted to run
- 10:02Speaker 2: for something, didn't he. He kind of gave that indication
- 10:05Speaker 2: maybe he didn't really want to run. But the point
- 10:07Speaker 2: is when you got that group of people that left
- 10:10Speaker 2: of center to right of center, those are the people
- 10:13Speaker 2: that end up signing deciding elections. And obviously Trump wins
- 10:19Speaker 2: the all the battleground states. He has the electoral win,
- 10:22Speaker 2: he has the popular vote win. And that was the
- 10:26Speaker 2: guy that walked in last night and started talking, this
- 10:30Speaker 2: guy who knew that he was there with a big
- 10:35Speaker 2: exclamation point, and the swagger that he brought into the
- 10:40Speaker 2: into the chamber, the the definitive, the attitude, the definitive
- 10:49Speaker 2: nature of just how he carried himself versus the little,
- 10:53Speaker 2: you know, puppet show that was going on on on
- 10:57Speaker 2: the to his right, but on the left side of
- 11:00Speaker 2: the room. He made sure to correct that once when
- 11:03Speaker 2: he said over here on the right, my right, not
- 11:06Speaker 2: the right, which was you know, you had some members
- 11:11Speaker 2: of Congress that didn't show up. They wanted to protest
- 11:15Speaker 2: by not going Okay, that's that's a perfectly peaceful way
- 11:22Speaker 2: to do it. I think it shows a very strong
- 11:27Speaker 2: indication maybe of who you are as a person when
- 11:31Speaker 2: you don't go. We've had people that didn't go in
- 11:34Speaker 2: the past that said I'm not going to go, that's
- 11:36Speaker 2: not a legitimate president. That happened. John Lewis did that
- 11:40Speaker 2: to Bush W George W. Bush, and then did the
- 11:44Speaker 2: same thing to Trump. I guess there No Republican can
- 11:47Speaker 2: be a legitimate president. I suppose. And then they want
- 11:50Speaker 2: to name voting laws after him, some kind of voting integrity.
- 11:55Speaker 2: That sounds like someone who anyway, that believes in the
- 12:01Speaker 2: outcome of elections anyway. So you had the folks that
- 12:08Speaker 2: were there, the Democrats that were there. Some of the
- 12:11Speaker 2: women dressed in pink. These are some of the same
- 12:14Speaker 2: women who voted against trying to protect girls and women's
- 12:18Speaker 2: sports from trans women formerly men born men that were
- 12:26Speaker 2: you know, coming into women's sports to dominate. But they
- 12:29Speaker 2: sat there and wore pink in support of women. I get.
- 12:34Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what if you're showing
- 12:36Speaker 2: up wearing pink, but you won't support all of the
- 12:40Speaker 2: things that were fought for for so long for women's sports,
- 12:44Speaker 2: I don't really know what you're that's a show that's
- 12:48Speaker 2: not real. And then some others, you know, wearing white.
- 12:52Speaker 2: We've done that, some of the Black caucus wearing black.
- 12:55Speaker 2: We saw I guess there was a bit of a
- 12:58Speaker 2: disruption early on before the present and even entered the room.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Then we saw the protests that got started shouting out.
- 13:05Speaker 2: Congressman Al Green was the first person to be tossed out.
- 13:12Speaker 2: It was one of those situations where he wouldn't shut
- 13:14Speaker 2: up and he wouldn't sit down. And I've seen people
- 13:17Speaker 2: posting earlier in the day yesterday. You know, you can't
- 13:21Speaker 2: silence them. They've got a right to express themselves. No,
- 13:25Speaker 2: not in this circumstance, you don't. And the Speaker of
- 13:28Speaker 2: the House called it to order and basically said, time
- 13:32Speaker 2: to bring the sergeant at arms in. Let's start taking
- 13:34Speaker 2: people out of here that are disrupting. Now, that didn't
- 13:38Speaker 2: stop all of the disrupting. It stopped the I'm going
- 13:41Speaker 2: to stand up and shout and shout the president down shenanigans.
- 13:47Speaker 2: It stopped that, So that's good. But then I think
- 13:51Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody else had to be taken out.
- 13:53Speaker 2: I'm not really sure. I didn't see anything yet this
- 13:56Speaker 2: morning about there probably were some more escorted out. But
- 14:00Speaker 2: you know, Trump made a point and he did a
- 14:03Speaker 2: great job. This was a speech that, sure it had
- 14:06Speaker 2: the Trump hyperbole. That's what he does. That's part of
- 14:09Speaker 2: that sharpening those skills I'm talking about with all the
- 14:13Speaker 2: time that he has spent as president or running for president,
- 14:18Speaker 2: and having now the benefit of a third opportunity to
- 14:22Speaker 2: run for president, so large crowds of people, and he
- 14:27Speaker 2: hit everything. He hit everything that he's been doing, He
- 14:30Speaker 2: hit everything that he campaigned on that he's been doing,
- 14:34Speaker 2: and he did something that most politicians don't do. There
- 14:39Speaker 2: was something that he did. Did you catch this? He
- 14:41Speaker 2: did it a few times that most politicians don't do.
- 14:45Speaker 2: The left definitely doesn't do it because they will tell
- 14:48Speaker 2: you to your face whatever aspect of the lie it
- 14:53Speaker 2: is that they think maybe that you want to hear
- 14:55Speaker 2: or that you deserve to hear without telling you the
- 14:58Speaker 2: actual truth, that the half truth is there sometimes, or
- 15:02Speaker 2: they'll just tell you what they think you need to hear.
- 15:05Speaker 2: They'll tell you, oh, no, no, no, it's a fine, no, no, no,
- 15:08Speaker 2: it's attacks whatever they got to tell you to get
- 15:12Speaker 2: you happy and say, oh, okay, well then this must
- 15:14Speaker 2: be legal. But Trump did this thing where he talked
- 15:18Speaker 2: about tariffs, and he talked about the fact that it's
- 15:23Speaker 2: going to be a little tough for a little while.
- 15:25Speaker 2: But we're gonna make it through it. We did it
- 15:27Speaker 2: last time and we had to endure it. It's gonna
- 15:29Speaker 2: be a little tough, and we're going to get through it,
- 15:33Speaker 2: you know, and we're gonna have to deal with it
- 15:35Speaker 2: a little bit. That's him being honest. You can call
- 15:38Speaker 2: him a liar all you want, but he laid it
- 15:40Speaker 2: out there for you. Look, the tariffs are going to
- 15:42Speaker 2: be a little painful at first, then it's gonna get better,
- 15:45Speaker 2: and we have to endure it. We have to give
- 15:47Speaker 2: it time. You don't get a lot of that from politicians.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Most of the time. They gloss over it and tell
- 15:52Speaker 2: you what they think you want to hear. Nobody wants
- 15:56Speaker 2: to hear that we might have more inflation, not after
- 15:59Speaker 2: just what we've been through. But what he's trying to
- 16:02Speaker 2: tell you is, if you give me a chance and
- 16:04Speaker 2: you let this play out, we're going to fix the
- 16:06Speaker 2: inflation problem. Thought that was great. The guests that he
- 16:10Speaker 2: brought in, I thought were fantastic. Of course, DJ the kid,
- 16:14Speaker 2: the thirteen year old kid who's had brain cancer, wants
- 16:20Speaker 2: to be a police officer, getting made a Secret Service
- 16:24Speaker 2: member last night, being given his badge, and then hugging
- 16:29Speaker 2: the director of the Secret Service. Oh my gosh, somebody
- 16:34Speaker 2: was cutting onions in my living room. I can just
- 16:37Speaker 2: tell you that. I cried. Then I cried again when
- 16:41Speaker 2: the kid that wanted to get into West Point was
- 16:44Speaker 2: told by the President that he had gotten into West Point,
- 16:47Speaker 2: and then DJ ran over and gave him a high five.
- 16:51Speaker 2: So this thirteen year old kid, he's wearing a police uniform,
- 16:55Speaker 2: he's just been given a badge to make him a
- 16:58Speaker 2: Secret Service officer, and uh, he's running over to give
- 17:04Speaker 2: this other kid and celebrate with him. Man, more onions
- 17:08Speaker 2: being cut. Democrats embarrassed themselves. Any of these moments that
- 17:13Speaker 2: Democrats didn't clap, didn't applaud you. And Trump said, it
- 17:18Speaker 2: doesn't matter. I could cure disease. You guys aren't going
- 17:21Speaker 2: to clap for me. It doesn't matter what I'd do.
- 17:24Speaker 2: And he was exactly right. He laid out the fat,
- 17:26Speaker 2: and he took little jabs a couple of times. He
- 17:29Speaker 2: took significant jabs, significant punches at folks on the left.
- 17:35Speaker 2: And they were they were humorous, they were they weren't overly.
- 17:39Speaker 2: I mean, you could maybe say a couple of them
- 17:41Speaker 2: were mean, but they weren't overly mean, they weren't excessively mean.
- 17:45Speaker 2: This was Trump prime, and I wouldn't have guessed now
- 17:50Speaker 2: the more senior Trump would be Trump prime. But this
- 17:53Speaker 2: was him, I guess, coming back in with the swagger
- 17:58Speaker 2: and just ready to do this and back again. He
- 18:01Speaker 2: mentioned it was his fifth time doing this speech, and
- 18:04Speaker 2: the Republicans all went crazy. But for Democrats to sit
- 18:08Speaker 2: on their hands when there were a few that actually
- 18:13Speaker 2: did applaud. But if you can't applaud a thirteen year
- 18:15Speaker 2: old kid having it with brain, recovering from brain cancer,
- 18:22Speaker 2: finding out that he's going to be given a badge
- 18:24Speaker 2: to be a Secret Service honorary, I assume secret Service agent.
- 18:28Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe he's out, he's going to put
- 18:30Speaker 2: him on a detail, but giving him that moment, and
- 18:35Speaker 2: you see the Democrats just sitting there. The parties lost.
- 18:40Speaker 2: The party doesn't know what they're going to do next.
- 18:42Speaker 2: They're as fractured as they were when they pushed Biden
- 18:47Speaker 2: out the door, maybe even more so. They sat in
- 18:50Speaker 2: there with their little paddles, their little lollipop paddles like
- 18:55Speaker 2: they were, you know, crossing guards, with their silly little
- 18:58Speaker 2: messages on them. They realized they weren't doing any good,
- 19:03Speaker 2: and they finally kind of stopped using them. Most of
- 19:06Speaker 2: them stopped using them. Some got up and walked out.
- 19:09Speaker 2: They just said, all right, we're leaving. They realized that
- 19:12Speaker 2: whatever their little puppet show was they were trying to
- 19:14Speaker 2: do wasn't working. It was embarrassing. It was embarrassing as
- 19:19Speaker 2: an American, but it was very embarrassing for the Party.
- 19:23Speaker 2: If you came out of that watching it thinking, oh
- 19:26Speaker 2: my gosh, I'm a Democrat, and boy they made me proud.
- 19:31Speaker 2: You were one of those extreme far left people. You're
- 19:35Speaker 2: not one of those left of center. Nobody left of
- 19:37Speaker 2: center was watching that going yes, I'm really proud of
- 19:41Speaker 2: the way they made asses of themselves during this speech,
- 19:45Speaker 2: because that's what they did. That's what they looked like, jackasses.
- 19:49Speaker 2: There's a thirteen year old kid who is having a
- 19:52Speaker 2: moment and he's battled brain cancer for six plus years.
- 19:57Speaker 2: Let the kid have his moment, stand up and clap.
- 20:00Speaker 2: What are you doing? Why are you sitting on your
- 20:03Speaker 2: hands and not at least acknowledging that this kid's battle,
- 20:08Speaker 2: this kid's journey with this kid is having this moment.
- 20:13Speaker 2: You just don't want to give it to Trump. You
- 20:14Speaker 2: want to want to give him that moment. Uh, this
- 20:17Speaker 2: was as bad as I seen the Democrat Party. Look,
- 20:20Speaker 2: this was as good as I've seen Trump. Look Like
- 20:23Speaker 2: I said, this was Trump prime. And they still are
- 20:27Speaker 2: no closer to figuring out whatever they're gonna do next.
- 20:30Speaker 2: They got to do better than that. They have to
- 20:33Speaker 2: do better than that. And if they're not going to
- 20:36Speaker 2: try to work with him in any way, and they're
- 20:38Speaker 2: just gonna dig in and try to fight him on
- 20:41Speaker 2: every single thing, they at least have to take a
- 20:45Speaker 2: moment and give him those little wins like Hey, I'm
- 20:48Speaker 2: gonna give this kid a badge. Hey, we're gonna let
- 20:50Speaker 2: this kid into West Point. I understand you don't want
- 20:55Speaker 2: Trump to get the win, but it looks really bad
- 21:00Speaker 2: when you can't celebrate those kids. You can't celebrate the
- 21:03Speaker 2: people who had their moments, and there were more. You
- 21:06Speaker 2: can't let those people have their moments and celebrate with them.
- 21:10Speaker 2: It looks bad for the left. Last night was a
- 21:13Speaker 2: good night for Donald Trump. Today's show brought to you

- 22:11Speaker 2: get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when
- 22:13Speaker 2: you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this
- 22:17Speaker 2: really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a major
- 22:21Speaker 2: city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the
- 22:26Speaker 2: planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the
- 22:29Speaker 2: new season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming

- 23:07Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
- 23:10Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
- 23:14Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
- 23:19Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
- 23:22Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
- 23:26Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away
- 23:29Speaker 2: for you, and while they're there, you can always ask
- 23:31Speaker 2: them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
- 23:34Speaker 2: like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb
- 23:38Speaker 2: appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and
- 23:40Speaker 2: you need some repair work done to the outside door.
- 23:43Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
- 23:46Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
- 23:50Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got.
- 23:53Speaker 2: With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in
- 23:56Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
- 23:59Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
- 24:02Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
- 24:05Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
- 24:09Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
- 24:11Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 24:14Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
- 24:15Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
- 24:18Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
- 24:20Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
- 24:23Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
- 24:27Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help.
- 24:30Speaker 2: And they do those as well. Seven oh six three
- 24:33Speaker 2: five eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five

- 24:40Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show. Right after the break Today's ash Wednesday,
- 24:52Speaker 2: I didn't mention a fat Tuesday yesterday. It actually completely
- 24:57Speaker 2: slipped my mind. I didn't think about it at all
- 25:00Speaker 2: yesterday until Jill called me and said, uh, are we
- 25:04Speaker 2: going to get a King Cake? And I said, oh,
- 25:07Speaker 2: do we need to do that? So we Yeah, it
- 25:11Speaker 2: kind of completely slipped my mind yesterday morning. And but
- 25:15Speaker 2: ash Wednesday. Of course today we're entering into that period
- 25:21Speaker 2: of lent, We're entering into the Easter season, We're entering
- 25:27Speaker 2: into all of that. And yeah, I just completely slipped
- 25:32Speaker 2: my mind yesterday about Fat Tuesday at Marty Gras until
- 25:36Speaker 2: Jill reminded me about the King Cake. So let's jump
- 25:41Speaker 2: into a couple of other non Trump related things. How
- 25:45Speaker 2: about this. If you ever feel like your brain is
- 25:48Speaker 2: turning to mush after spending a lot of time scrolling
- 25:51Speaker 2: on social media, you are not alone. Brain rot is
- 25:55Speaker 2: the term, the phenomenon that it is referred to, and
- 26:00Speaker 2: they say it's a real thing. It was Oxford's twenty
- 26:02Speaker 2: twenty four Word of the Year. The term has seen
- 26:04Speaker 2: a two hundred and thirty percent increase in usage over
- 26:07Speaker 2: the last year, and while it is not an actual
- 26:10Speaker 2: medical condition, experts say that spending too much time online
- 26:15Speaker 2: can mess with your memory, your decision making, and overall
- 26:18Speaker 2: mental health. Their advice is simple, take breaks from social media,
- 26:23Speaker 2: get some exercise, do a hobby that you love, spend
- 26:26Speaker 2: some time out in nature. All those things will do
- 26:29Speaker 2: you some good. Some cities just a little better for
- 26:34Speaker 2: food than others. Wallet hub recently studied data found in
- 26:39Speaker 2: looking for basically the best foodie cities in America for
- 26:43Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, and they say the top spot this
- 26:48Speaker 2: year belongs to Miami, San Francisco, next Orlando, Portland, Tampa, Sacramento, Vegas, Seattle, Denver,
- 26:58Speaker 2: and San Diego rounding out the top ten for best
- 27:03Speaker 2: food cities. Atlanta just outside of the top ten at
- 27:09Speaker 2: number eleven, and just kind of scanning through looking for
- 27:14Speaker 2: some more kind of in the southeast and really not
- 27:18Speaker 2: getting a whole lot of love. I'll count Saint Petersburg
- 27:21Speaker 2: down in Florida, Charleston at thirty Sorry, Saint Petersburg's at
- 27:26Speaker 2: thirty four, Charleston, South Carolina at thirty eight, Charlotte at
- 27:32Speaker 2: forty two, Raleigh at forty four. That would make the
- 27:37Speaker 2: all the folks from Maybury feel good about that, Nashville
- 27:40Speaker 2: at fifty one. Just touching on some of the others
- 27:43Speaker 2: as I'm just kind of briefly scanning through here, kind
- 27:46Speaker 2: of quickly. Fort Lauderdale is at nineteen. I see that
- 27:49Speaker 2: one up there. I mean, got to give the Florida
- 27:52Speaker 2: folks their credit there where it's earned in some of
- 27:55Speaker 2: these situations. All right, do you do you make one
- 28:00Speaker 2: sis in the shower? According to a new survey, most
- 28:04Speaker 2: people do. Twelve percent of respondents say that they do
- 28:07Speaker 2: it every day as a matter of fact, Another twelve
- 28:10Speaker 2: percent say they do it multiple times a week. Forty
- 28:13Speaker 2: five percent say they do it several times a year.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Millennials most likely to do it twenty five percent saying
- 28:21Speaker 2: that they do it every day. Only thirteen percent of
- 28:23Speaker 2: Gen X and six percent of boomers say that they
- 28:27Speaker 2: do it every day. Men more likely than women to
- 28:31Speaker 2: go in the shower thirty percent compared to twenty percent.
- 28:36Speaker 2: And basically, this survey says that the average American adult
- 28:41Speaker 2: only cleans their shower nine times a year. So that's
- 28:45Speaker 2: where a problem might come in. If you're not actually
- 28:49Speaker 2: cleaning the shower, then maybe that could be considered an issue.
- 28:54Speaker 2: But I mean, the water's cleaning it when you're using it, right,
- 28:57Speaker 2: it's just rinsing everything away, just saying and finally, if
- 29:02Speaker 2: you think you pay too much for your morning cup
- 29:05Speaker 2: of coffee. You're not paying what they pay at this
- 29:09Speaker 2: particular place. A cafe in taipe A, Taiwan called Simple
- 29:13Speaker 2: Cafe selling a cup of coffee six hundred and thirty
- 29:17Speaker 2: five dollars. The costly coffee comes directly from the Elita
- 29:22Speaker 2: Estate in Bouquette, Panama, and that probably doesn't mean a
- 29:27Speaker 2: lot to you, but it's a world renowned coffee farm
- 29:30Speaker 2: and it produces high price beans. The owner of Simple
- 29:33Speaker 2: Kafa says that the six hundred and thirty five dollars
- 29:36Speaker 2: price tag is justified, and adds that the same coffee
- 29:39Speaker 2: is being sold in China for as much as nine
- 29:42Speaker 2: hundred dollars, so probably makes your Starbucks seem not quite
- 29:47Speaker 2: so expensive. It definitely makes my cup that I make
- 29:51Speaker 2: at home not so expensive. That'll do it for this
- 29:55Speaker 2: Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons.
- 29:59Speaker 2: Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
