Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Thursday morning, twentieth day of August.
- 0:13Speaker 3: I'm Wes, thanks for joining me.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Wasn't sure I was even gonna be able to do
- 0:18Speaker 2: a show today or not. And I try my best
- 0:22Speaker 2: other than when I tell you, I'm going to be
- 0:24Speaker 2: out to get the shows done and for you each
- 0:29Speaker 2: and every morning, weekday morning, and I wasn't sure that
- 0:34Speaker 2: was going to work out today because yesterday we had
- 0:40Speaker 2: a bit of a health scare, if you will, with
- 0:45Speaker 2: my mom. She has she had an issue with pancreatitis.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Gallstone got into her pancreas, and we were not really
- 0:56Speaker 2: sure where all of this was going as far as
- 1:00Speaker 2: severity of it. And once they were able to check
- 1:04Speaker 2: and confirm that she the gallstone I guess had passed
- 1:07Speaker 2: and that she was now on the recovery side of that,
- 1:12Speaker 2: and also that she had a gallbladder full of gallstones
- 1:17Speaker 2: that needed to be removed, I realized I'm just blabbing
- 1:19Speaker 2: all of her business for everybody, but many of you
- 1:23Speaker 2: I reached out to me yesterday or that I've shared
- 1:26Speaker 2: any info about this about and everybody that's told me
- 1:29Speaker 2: that they're praying for my mom.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 1:33Speaker 2: She is still at the hospital in Lagrange, that's where
- 1:40Speaker 2: she lives. And I had a moment yesterday where I
- 1:43Speaker 2: had to kind of just pack a bag and get
- 1:47Speaker 2: to the hospital, and that's where I was yesterday at
- 1:51Speaker 2: one point, just gotta got, got to pack a bag,
- 1:55Speaker 2: gotta go, got to get to the hospital. And this
- 1:58Speaker 2: is a well stared her in Lagrange and we just had,
- 2:05Speaker 2: you know, basically, it was just me hanging out because
- 2:07Speaker 2: that's what you do. My brother Matt had already gone
- 2:10Speaker 2: up to see her previously, so I got there and
- 2:17Speaker 2: was kind of taking care of some things for her,
- 2:19Speaker 2: applying to people for her, and there was just a
- 2:22Speaker 2: moment yesterday where they were had to double check some
- 2:25Speaker 2: things in the room. There were several people that came in, nurses, doctors,
- 2:29Speaker 2: all sorts of people. I don't know who all the
- 2:31Speaker 2: people were, just people all came in the room and
- 2:34Speaker 2: making sure that everything was squared away for her. And
- 2:37Speaker 2: I just wanted to take a minute to acknowledge the
- 2:41Speaker 2: team on the fourth floor at the well Store Hospital
- 2:48Speaker 2: in Lagrange, the nursing team that was there, Bridget and
- 2:55Speaker 2: Jolie who.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Were helping out with her. I think Jolie is right.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Because I didn't write it down, but I'm certain that's
- 3:03Speaker 2: right because I remember thinking the Dolly parton song. And
- 3:06Speaker 2: then Caroline who was there, who was helping out as well,
- 3:10Speaker 2: and may or may not name her kid Wesley.
- 3:14Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 3:15Speaker 2: I don't know what status of that is. I just
- 3:17Speaker 2: know that she liked the name Wesley. She was pregnant,
- 3:21Speaker 2: and she confirmed that before I even said it. But
- 3:24Speaker 2: there was a point where I was trying to give
- 3:26Speaker 2: her my chair in the room and she wouldn't take it,
- 3:29Speaker 2: and I said, listen, my mother is right there. I
- 3:32Speaker 2: have to give you this chair. You don't understand. She
- 3:35Speaker 2: can see me right now. But she was great. They
- 3:38Speaker 2: were all great, and others I don't have the name
- 3:41Speaker 2: of everybody that was there, but there was were the
- 3:43Speaker 2: three people that I talked to the most yesterday and
- 3:49Speaker 2: just fantastic did a great job and got her back
- 3:55Speaker 2: to a point where she wor to where she needed
- 3:58Speaker 2: to be, and that it was kind of something that
- 4:00Speaker 2: was an ongoing thing yesterday while I was there. And
- 4:04Speaker 2: at some point it's like, look, I'm either going to
- 4:06Speaker 2: be here overnight. I stayed as late as I could
- 4:10Speaker 2: and then came back home. I've got things to do
- 4:13Speaker 2: here today. But I stayed at the hospital for as
- 4:18Speaker 2: long as I could yesterday to the point where she
- 4:20Speaker 2: was ready. Just like she said, you need to go home.
- 4:22Speaker 2: I just need to rest. I just want to sleep.
- 4:24Speaker 2: She was heavily medicated, and the surgery will get scheduled
- 4:28Speaker 2: and planned and all those things. So at some point
- 4:32Speaker 2: I will be back up there, but I needed to
- 4:35Speaker 2: needed to do some work, and I needed to get
- 4:38Speaker 2: some work done. So and I've got another interview related
- 4:41Speaker 2: to dragon Con coming up a little bit later today,
- 4:46Speaker 2: and then at some point I'll be back up there
- 4:48Speaker 2: with her at the hospital. But really appreciate the work
- 4:51Speaker 2: that they were doing there on the fourth floor. I
- 4:54Speaker 2: think she's been moved to a different floor as they're
- 4:56Speaker 2: getting her ready for surgery and things like that. That
- 5:00Speaker 2: so I'll just have to go up and visit. I'll
- 5:03Speaker 2: just have to go up and visit on the fourth floor.
- 5:06Speaker 2: That's what I'll have to do, all right. So let's
- 5:09Speaker 2: get into a couple things, and on the subject of medicine,
- 5:13Speaker 2: I just want to talk about this story as this
- 5:16Speaker 2: big news breaking yesterday researchers calling it a potential breakthrough
- 5:26Speaker 2: in cancer treatment. And this is Maderna and Merk have
- 5:31Speaker 2: released new study results showing their experimental mRNA vaccine helped
- 5:37Speaker 2: prevent the deadliest form of skin cancer from returning or
- 5:41Speaker 2: spreading in high risk patients. Now this is that's the
- 5:48Speaker 2: beginning of the story. And then we're going to get
- 5:50Speaker 2: into the next part of the story. Where investors immediately
- 5:54Speaker 2: reacted to Moderna's stock and it more than doubled after
- 5:59Speaker 2: the big announcement, and the companies reported success for the
- 6:04Speaker 2: treatment in patients who'd had surgery to remove melanoma. The
- 6:08Speaker 2: vaccine and I'll see if I can say this because
- 6:11Speaker 2: it's brand new. This is Antismaran was tested alongside Merks
- 6:18Speaker 2: cancer immunotherapy drug ki Truda. Researchers say that I may
- 6:24Speaker 2: have nurses listening, so I hope I'm getting these right.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Researchers say the combination kept cancer from returning longer and
- 6:31Speaker 2: reduce the risk that it would spread to other parts
- 6:33Speaker 2: of the body. The data has not yet been published
- 6:38Speaker 2: in a medical journal, but experts are describing the findings
- 6:41Speaker 2: as a landmark step for personalized cancer vaccines, and the
- 6:45Speaker 2: companies say that they plan to present the results to
- 6:49Speaker 2: regulators at an upcoming medical conference. Okay, other than the
- 6:54Speaker 2: investor's part of this, which I mean, this is how
- 6:56Speaker 2: companies work. Okay, let's talk about this from the standpoint
- 7:02Speaker 2: of it's an mr in a vaccine, and this is
- 7:08Speaker 2: obviously been back in the news. Vaccines have been back
- 7:13Speaker 2: in the news for a few reasons. First of all,
- 7:15Speaker 2: the Trump administration saying we're going to call back the
- 7:19Speaker 2: number of vaccines that kids are going to be getting
- 7:22Speaker 2: at the same time, and we're going to spread some
- 7:24Speaker 2: of these things out where we can. We don't want
- 7:26Speaker 2: them having to get all the vaccines at once. That's
- 7:29Speaker 2: part of this as far as the recent news. And
- 7:34Speaker 2: then obviously we had Tony Fauci back in the news
- 7:38Speaker 2: because he made an ass out of himself pleading the
- 7:42Speaker 2: fifth on everything. Because apparently the American people don't deserve
- 7:46Speaker 2: to know what he knew and when he knew it,
- 7:47Speaker 2: and all the things that he bragged about in his
- 7:50Speaker 2: Dear Diary, and all the things that he bragged about
- 7:54Speaker 2: in his emails and in his iPhone and.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Text messages and all that stuff.
- 7:57Speaker 2: We don't deserve to know what was going on by
- 8:00Speaker 2: behind the scenes, anything shady going on, we have no
- 8:04Speaker 2: right to know about those things, right, that's his personal business,
- 8:09Speaker 2: and that's his personal profiteering that he had on demanding
- 8:12Speaker 2: all these awards and prizes and things for his hard
- 8:16Speaker 2: work taking care of a vaccine that he was certainly
- 8:20Speaker 2: based on his emails and everything responsible for helping to
- 8:25Speaker 2: create in some capacity. So it's been back in the
- 8:31Speaker 2: news in that regard. So when people talk about the
- 8:35Speaker 2: fact that when it comes to COVID and people said, well,
- 8:40Speaker 2: you know, we have to trust the science. We have
- 8:43Speaker 2: to trust the medicine, we have to trust the scientists.
- 8:46Speaker 2: And Fauci had his big like I am science moment,
- 8:50Speaker 2: right because he is science. To question him is to
- 8:55Speaker 2: question science. That's what he said. He didn't really say
- 8:58Speaker 2: I am science, but that's basically the way you can
- 9:01Speaker 2: interpret that. If I told you that I'm an expert
- 9:05Speaker 2: in whatever, I really really love Miss pac Man and
- 9:11Speaker 2: Donkey Kong, right, love those games, Okay, And if I
- 9:17Speaker 2: told you that I was not just an expert in
- 9:21Speaker 2: those games, I'm really not, but I like to play them.
- 9:25Speaker 2: But if I told you also Donkey Kong Junior.
- 9:30Speaker 3: And Donkey Kong three.
- 9:31Speaker 2: I like all those but if I told you that
- 9:34Speaker 2: I was an expert in those things, and people wanted
- 9:36Speaker 2: to question, like, are you are you're an expert? Or
- 9:39Speaker 2: have you ever beaten this level? Have you ever gotten
- 9:41Speaker 2: this far in the game? To question me is to
- 9:45Speaker 2: question Donkey Kong himself. I mean that would take a
- 9:50Speaker 2: lot of stones, like that would take some marbles for
- 9:53Speaker 2: me to say that you're you're questioning Miss pac Man herself,
- 9:59Speaker 2: and I don't. I don't think that that's appropriate that
- 10:02Speaker 2: you would even question Miss pac Man. So how dare
- 10:05Speaker 2: you question that? Anyway, that's where he came from. He's
- 10:09Speaker 2: he is science himself. Right to question him is to
- 10:14Speaker 2: question science. And people say, people said, oh, what is
- 10:17Speaker 2: he talking about? And so people said, ah, no, he is,
- 10:19Speaker 2: he's the he's the expert in this. Well he was
- 10:22Speaker 2: because again, based on all the information we have, he
- 10:25Speaker 2: he'ped make it. So, uh yeah, that makes you an expert.
- 10:29Speaker 2: And now I didn't make Donkey Kong. I wish I did.
- 10:32Speaker 2: I wish that I made Miss pac Man.
- 10:36Speaker 1: I did not.
- 10:37Speaker 2: I had nothing to do with creating those but if
- 10:40Speaker 2: I did, perhaps I would be more comfortable in saying
- 10:43Speaker 2: that I was an expert in it. But he didn't
- 10:45Speaker 2: say he was an expert in these vaccines, and he
- 10:47Speaker 2: didn't say he was an expert in this particular in
- 10:53Speaker 2: COVID in general. He is, say I'm a COVID expert. He said,
- 10:56Speaker 2: I am science. He he is science personified. You look
- 11:02Speaker 2: at this like little, you know, a little nerdy, frail guy,
- 11:06Speaker 2: and I, you know, I'm science anyway, So what's the
- 11:11Speaker 2: harm in people running around wearing masks? Because he first
- 11:16Speaker 2: he said don't wear masks. Let's not forget all that.
- 11:18Speaker 2: He said, don't wear masks, and then he later said no,
- 11:22Speaker 2: everybody should wear masks, and they should stand eight feet apart.
- 11:27Speaker 2: That sounds good, right, was it eight stand? You know,
- 11:31Speaker 2: six eight feet apart? Whatever it was? And the only
- 11:36Speaker 2: time I could ever really remember those is when I
- 11:38Speaker 2: go in a place that has forgotten to or is
- 11:40Speaker 2: incapable of taking those stickers off the floor. But he
- 11:43Speaker 2: told us to stand that far apart, and that we
- 11:46Speaker 2: should wear masks. And people said, well, wait a minute,
- 11:48Speaker 2: didn't you say, well not many Some people said, didn't
- 11:50Speaker 2: you say not to wear masks? And he said no,
- 11:52Speaker 2: I said, that's so people wouldn't buy all the masks
- 11:55Speaker 2: because the doctors and nurses need them. And that's probably valid, right,
- 11:59Speaker 2: because we know people were buying toilet paper like crazy
- 12:02Speaker 2: for no reason whatsoever, just because someone heard that, you know,
- 12:07Speaker 2: a Walmart's running at on toilet paper and then they
- 12:09Speaker 2: just went, ah, I gotta go buy it all. So
- 12:11Speaker 2: I get that part of it. But he told us
- 12:14Speaker 2: one thing and then he changed it, and then he
- 12:17Speaker 2: said in some cases, maybe you should wear two masks.
- 12:19Speaker 3: That came up. It's getting ridiculous. And then then it
- 12:24Speaker 3: became well, we didn't really have any science for that.
- 12:27Speaker 2: We didn't know we were supposed to should maybe you
- 12:29Speaker 2: should wear a mask, Maybe you shouldn't stand in you know,
- 12:32Speaker 2: eight twelve feet apart whatever. We had nothing to back
- 12:35Speaker 2: that up. Keeping kids out of school, we didn't really
- 12:38Speaker 2: know if that was going to help, but there was
- 12:43Speaker 2: some research to suggest that maybe it would hurt kids
- 12:46Speaker 2: in school, like it would cause them to have, you know,
- 12:49Speaker 2: reading issues, math issues, probably some social things that were
- 12:55Speaker 2: not really doing well for kids because they can't see faces,
- 12:59Speaker 2: they can't see mouth. That's important in the whole development process.
- 13:04Speaker 2: You got to be able to you know, you gotta
- 13:07Speaker 2: be able to see faces.
- 13:08Speaker 3: It's just part of all of this.
- 13:11Speaker 2: If not, we would all just be walking around hiding
- 13:15Speaker 2: their faces. Doesn't sound that bad for some of us.
- 13:17Speaker 2: I've seen people that probably should hide their faces. But
- 13:21Speaker 2: my point is all these things that we were told
- 13:24Speaker 2: to do to not do. People yelling at you in
- 13:27Speaker 2: some countries people, I guess some parts of the US,
- 13:30Speaker 2: people screaming at you to get back in your house.
- 13:32Speaker 2: There were countries where you know, people were being locked up.
- 13:35Speaker 2: You got to go in this special little this little place,
- 13:39Speaker 2: this little concentration camp that we're having. If you didn't
- 13:42Speaker 2: check in properly with the app on your phone, all
- 13:48Speaker 2: these things would be well, what is it hurting anything
- 13:50Speaker 2: to just do it. Let's let's do this for safety.
- 13:54Speaker 2: And then we get on the other side of all
- 13:56Speaker 2: this years later, when we finally start holding people accountable
- 13:59Speaker 2: and they say, well, wait a minute, maybe it is
- 14:01Speaker 2: important that we be truthful when it comes to science,
- 14:06Speaker 2: and we be truthful when it comes to medicine, because
- 14:09Speaker 2: now here we are with a possible vaccine for skin
- 14:17Speaker 2: cancer that could eventually lead to treatments for cancer other cancers.
- 14:24Speaker 2: I mean, skin cancer is cancer. But the point is,
- 14:26Speaker 2: now you've got people that are questioning it. Sure, how
- 14:30Speaker 2: do we know it's even gonna work.
- 14:31Speaker 3: How do we know this is going to do anything?
- 14:34Speaker 2: So it could be beneficial to people, yet we've been
- 14:39Speaker 2: lied to. That's why you have to have truth. That's
- 14:42Speaker 2: why you need an honest media. That's why you need
- 14:44Speaker 2: an honest medicine. That's why you need honest science. All
- 14:49Speaker 2: these things are That's not the only things, but that's
- 14:51Speaker 2: three things that are all important that could have helped
- 14:54Speaker 2: in all of this. You know, as long as you've
- 14:58Speaker 2: got scientists saying the world's gonna end in twelve years
- 15:01Speaker 2: because we drive too many cars, and cars, you know,
- 15:04Speaker 2: put out carbon dioxide and calfarts are carbon dioxide, and
- 15:08Speaker 2: we're all going to dine twelve years and then twelve
- 15:11Speaker 2: years come and go, and they go, no, no, no, twelve
- 15:13Speaker 2: more years. It's always twelve years. So they're always kicked
- 15:17Speaker 2: the can twelve years down the road, and then we're
- 15:22Speaker 2: supposed to keep believing it, and we're supposed to go, oh,
- 15:24Speaker 2: this is how dangerous it is. And I'm not saying
- 15:27Speaker 2: there's not issues with the clime. I'm not saying that
- 15:29Speaker 2: we don't have problems just saying acknowledge it. When when
- 15:32Speaker 2: we had the temperatures dropping and they were starting to
- 15:36Speaker 2: go down, you know, on average, and people were saying, oh, well,
- 15:40Speaker 2: they are the third and fourth highest temperatures that we've
- 15:43Speaker 2: ever had on record, not ever, you know, they were
- 15:47Speaker 2: higher before. But when you say that and you don't
- 15:52Speaker 2: acknowledge the fact that, hey, things are going down because
- 15:55Speaker 2: this is a kind of a natural progression for things.
- 15:59Speaker 2: Maybe the Sun's contributing to this.
- 16:01Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 16:02Speaker 2: I'm not an expert and I'm not pretending to be one.
- 16:05Speaker 2: But my point is, you need sincerity, you need honesty,
- 16:08Speaker 2: and you definitely need honesty in medicine because when people
- 16:11Speaker 2: start to question validity of medicine, they question the validity
- 16:14Speaker 2: of vaccines, and then they question whether or not the
- 16:19Speaker 2: media is gonna actually tell them.
- 16:20Speaker 3: The truth about these things.
- 16:23Speaker 2: Then you can't even go to them and say, hey,
- 16:25Speaker 2: there's a new vaccine it's gonna help with skin cancer
- 16:29Speaker 2: and have people believe it. Get ready for Dragon Con forty.
- 16:33Speaker 2: It's the fortieth Dragon Con and it happens Labor Day
- 16:37Speaker 2: weekend in downtown Atlanta, September third through the seventh, and
- 16:43Speaker 2: you can get ready for it with the dragon Con,
- 16:46Speaker 2: a pregame show coming to radio and podcast on August
- 16:50Speaker 2: the twenty ninth. It'll be aired on about two hundred
- 16:54Speaker 2: radio stations around the state of Georgia and rolling over
- 16:58Speaker 2: into nearby states, and you can hear guests will be
- 17:02Speaker 2: attending the dragon Con convention. It is the largest popular
- 17:07Speaker 2: arts convention anywhere in the world, and on the pregame
- 17:11Speaker 2: show this year, you're going to hear from guests who
- 17:14Speaker 2: will be attending. This year's guest list includes Star Trek,
- 17:18Speaker 2: Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Starship Troopers, Smallville, and more.
- 17:25Speaker 2: Coverage of the dragon Con pregame show is powered by
- 17:29Speaker 2: Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, where you
- 17:32Speaker 2: can learn the science behind the science fiction and it
- 17:37Speaker 2: is coming August twenty ninth. In the meantime, you can
- 17:41Speaker 2: listen to past episodes of the dragon Con pregame show
- 17:44Speaker 2: with some of the guests who will actually be attending
- 17:47Speaker 2: this year. Some of them have been on multiple shows,
- 17:50Speaker 2: including Ross mar Kwan from The Walking Dead and The
- 17:53Speaker 2: Marvel Universe. Also, I've interviewed William Shatner Evangeline Lilly who
- 18:00Speaker 2: was the Wasp in ant Man and ant Man in
- 18:03Speaker 2: the Wasp and also.
- 18:04Speaker 3: Ant Man Quantumnia, but we won't talk about that.
- 18:07Speaker 2: Check out past shows. It's the Dragon Con pregame show
- 18:10Speaker 2: podcast wherever you get your podcasts. Today's show brought to
- 18:14Speaker 2: you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center,
- 18:18Speaker 2: inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and
- 18:24Speaker 2: STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean
- 18:28Speaker 2: they do it for school age kids as school age
- 18:31Speaker 2: kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they
- 18:34Speaker 2: also do it through their university programs where you can
- 18:37Speaker 2: learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and
- 18:43Speaker 2: STEM fields are booming right now, and you can learn
- 18:46Speaker 2: more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC
- 18:53Speaker 2: dot org. While you're there, also check out some of
- 18:57Speaker 2: their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they
- 19:02Speaker 2: do with the Schwob School of Music from Columbus State
- 19:04Speaker 2: University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert
- 19:08Speaker 2: experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of
- 19:11Speaker 2: those things that when you're watching it in Columbus Georgia.
- 19:14Speaker 2: You think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean
- 19:17Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
- 19:23Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
- 19:26Speaker 2: Science Center and the new season of music under the Dome.
- 19:30Speaker 2: Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check
- 19:35Speaker 2: out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you
- 19:37Speaker 2: can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola
- 19:40Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
- 19:44Speaker 2: city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you
- 19:46Speaker 2: can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also

- 20:24Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
- 20:27Speaker 2: square and that away for you, and while they're there,
- 20:29Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
- 20:32Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 20:35Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 20:38Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 20:41Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 20:43Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 20:47Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
- 20:50Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 20:54Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 20:57Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a green
- 21:00Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 21:03Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 21:06Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like
- 21:09Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 21:11Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
- 21:14Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 21:15Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 21:18Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 21:21Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 21:24Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
- 21:27Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
- 21:30Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty five

- 21:40Speaker 2: after the break, Well, Pumpkin spice season pretty much here, right,
- 21:54Speaker 2: I mean a lot of places already.
- 21:56Speaker 3: Jumping into this.
- 21:57Speaker 2: Well, one place is not getting into pumpkin spice season
- 22:02Speaker 2: at all, and it's McDonald's, as they're skipping pumpkin spice
- 22:07Speaker 2: season and going all in on their apple pies this fall.
- 22:13Speaker 2: So it's already begun, and for a limited time they're
- 22:17Speaker 2: rolling out caramel apple Pie mccafes lineup. So it's a
- 22:23Speaker 2: seasonal flavor combining apple caramel with coffee and tops it
- 22:28Speaker 2: off with salted caramel, whipped cream and apple pie crumble.
- 22:32Speaker 3: The new flavor available.
- 22:34Speaker 2: Four ways and a hot latte, an iced latte, an
- 22:38Speaker 2: iced coffee, and a blended frappe. McDonald says it's designed
- 22:44Speaker 2: to deliver the taste of caramel apple pie in coffee form.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Could this catch on? Could this be the next thing?
- 22:52Speaker 2: I'm more likely to drink one of these than I
- 22:54Speaker 2: am all the pumpkin spice stuff. It doesn't do anything
- 22:57Speaker 2: for me, but you know where you want to do.
- 23:00Speaker 2: Knock yourself out. A high school senior has gone viral
- 23:04Speaker 2: after posting a video from their third day of school.
- 23:08Speaker 2: The clip shows a classroom full of students sitting silently
- 23:12Speaker 2: while staring at their phones and not engaging with each
- 23:16Speaker 2: other at all. The clip sparked a huge online debate.
- 23:21Speaker 2: Many of you were saying how sad it was, comparing
- 23:23Speaker 2: the scene to mobile zombies and saying high school wasn't
- 23:27Speaker 2: like that when they were growing up. Well, of course,
- 23:29Speaker 2: it wasn't like that growing up because the phones weren't
- 23:33Speaker 2: readily available and they certainly weren't as advanced as they are.
- 23:35Speaker 2: So that's kind of a silly thing to say. But
- 23:37Speaker 2: the point is, yes, it is sad when you see
- 23:41Speaker 2: this video of these kids all just staring at their phones.
- 23:44Speaker 2: And if anybody is questioning the new law that's coming
- 23:49Speaker 2: in Georgia and they say like for next year, and
- 23:52Speaker 2: they say, well, these kids should be able to have
- 23:54Speaker 2: their phones in some capacity, Well that's the problem. They're
- 23:57Speaker 2: not having them in some capacity. They're having them in
- 23:59Speaker 2: every possible capacity. And when you look around a classroom
- 24:03Speaker 2: and kids are all just staring at their crotches because
- 24:06Speaker 2: they're hiding their phones in their laps.
- 24:08Speaker 3: Now, in this.
- 24:09Speaker 2: Particular video, that's not even what they're doing. The phones
- 24:11Speaker 2: are out, they're just right out there on the table.
- 24:15Speaker 2: So we're going to all of this effort to tax
- 24:20Speaker 2: each other so that we can have a school system
- 24:23Speaker 2: so that kids don't get left behind, and then we're
- 24:25Speaker 2: deciding that these same kids are just supposed to come
- 24:28Speaker 2: to school and be accountable for their education without anybody
- 24:33Speaker 2: putting any sort of rules or restrictions on it. So, yes,
- 24:38Speaker 2: sue me for thinking it's a good idea. And I
- 24:40Speaker 2: know that my kids the school they go to, they're
- 24:42Speaker 2: already taking up phones as kids walk in the class.
- 24:45Speaker 2: In many other classes, they're prepped, they're ready for all
- 24:48Speaker 2: of this, and it makes sense.
- 24:52Speaker 3: They got to learn something when they're at school, right.
- 24:55Speaker 1: Uh.
- 24:55Speaker 2: There's a twenty five to three rule that they say
- 24:59Speaker 2: could be the SA secret to better health. And that's
- 25:01Speaker 2: what it's called the twenty five to three rule. They say,
- 25:05Speaker 2: if you spend too much time indoors, experts say following
- 25:08Speaker 2: this rule will help the ideas that you spend twenty
- 25:10Speaker 2: minutes outside three times a week, five hours in a
- 25:15Speaker 2: more natural setting at least once a month, and then
- 25:20Speaker 2: three days completely immersed in nature once per year. The
- 25:26Speaker 2: goal is to reduce stress, improve mood, boost focus, and
- 25:30Speaker 2: reconnect with the outdoors. The rule is based on the
- 25:33Speaker 2: idea that nature isn't just a luxury, it's something our
- 25:36Speaker 2: minds and bodies actually need. There's a requirement for it. Yeah,
- 25:40Speaker 2: I'm with you on that. Just take your phone out
- 25:43Speaker 2: and stare at it while you sit outside. Researchers say
- 25:46Speaker 2: even short walks in green spaces can lower stress levels
- 25:49Speaker 2: and improve cognitive function, while longer outdoor experiences can provide
- 25:55Speaker 2: greater mental health benefits. The best part, you don't need
- 25:58Speaker 2: a national park or expensive vacation. A neighborhood park, a
- 26:02Speaker 2: tree lined street, or a local hiking trail can basically
- 26:08Speaker 2: all count towards your outdoor time. So if you follow
- 26:10Speaker 2: the twenty five three rule, then you very well could
- 26:15Speaker 2: be in a better place with your mental health. That's good.
- 26:21Speaker 2: You know, burnout happens when you work too much. Now,
- 26:24Speaker 2: experts say people may be experiencing an opposite problem called
- 26:27Speaker 2: a rust out. That term describes what happens when employees
- 26:31Speaker 2: feel underused, unchallenged, and disconnected from their jobs for a
- 26:36Speaker 2: long periods of time. Rust Out can show up as
- 26:39Speaker 2: chronic boredom, lack of motivation going through the motions, feeling
- 26:43Speaker 2: like your skills are being wasted. Unlike burnout, which comes
- 26:47Speaker 2: from being overwhelmed, rust out happens when work becomes too
- 26:51Speaker 2: repetitive or lacks purpose and growth opportunities. The trend is
- 26:55Speaker 2: more widespread than you think. A Gallop survey found that
- 26:58Speaker 2: only thirty one percent of employees felt engaged at work
- 27:01Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five, Gen Z and younger millennials reporting
- 27:05Speaker 2: the lowest levels of engagement. Experts recommend seeking new projects,
- 27:09Speaker 2: learning new skills, or having conversations with managers about growth
- 27:13Speaker 2: opportunities before the feeling turns into full blown dis engagement.
- 27:19Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Thursday edition of the show.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
- 27:25Speaker 2: I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
