  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carroll Morning Show.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, twenty second day of November. I'm Wes, thanks
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: for joining me. We have some sort of a plague
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: running through the Carroll household. We believe the older boy
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: is patient zero. He has had it and recovered. The
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: rest of us not so much as we're all trying
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: to navigate through it. I believe Jill maybe the next
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: one to come out of it. Luke and I are
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: struggling with it at the moment. So we had a
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: couple of things planned for next week, and I was
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: prepared to tell you today that I would be out
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: next week and not doing any shows. At this point,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: that's to be determined. It's possible that we're just gonna
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: stay put. It's possible that we're I'll do a few shows.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: It's possible that we may not be around and I
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: may not be doing any I don't know. I haven't
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: decided yet, but I appreciate you listening, And if you're
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: excited about possible news shows next week, I hope I
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: can take care of that for you. If you understand
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: that it's Thanksgiving next week and we may be not
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: doing any shows that may be how things fall. We'll
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: see how it goes. And it also has to do
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: with whatever this crud is. I'm hoping that, you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: maybe by Sunday Monday, I'll be feeling better. I hope
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see how it goes. Struggling a lot
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: with swallowing this morning, so I'm trying to avoid you
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: hearing that, if possible. It's a struggle. It's real, it's real.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: A couple of things. Yesterday I told you about how
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: people get their news from different places, and there are
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: different you know, people have sources, they have sort of
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: the traditional news outlets. They have, you know, a TV
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: and radio, and then they have social media. They get
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: it from there. There are places that I don't know
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: for you, but for me, my voice sounds a little deeper.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I'm digging it. If I didn't feel like crud, I
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: would like where I'm at with my voice right now.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're not even hearing it. I don't know, but
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I'm definitely hearing it as i'm speaking it. But anyway,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: was I saying, oh the sorry, just a little touch
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: of that distraction there. But I'm just I'm I get
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a rasp in there. Normally it
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: takes a lot of people smoking a lot of cigarettes
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: to change that in their voice, and I've never done that,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: So I'm just you know, a little bit of the crud.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: So traditional news sources is, you know, one of the
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: places that people get it. And then there's social media,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: and then there's places like podcasts that are now thanks
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: to this election at the a lot of people talking
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: about podcasts. A lot of people look like, look at
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: how do I How do I do that? You got news?
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: People going, I need to get me one of those podcasts.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: So and then people talk to each other and get it.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: And it's funny that I was talking about that yesterday
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: morning and then later in the day I had a
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: conversation with a friend. In no way is this in
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: any way disparaging to the aforementioned friend. It's just me
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: making an observation that I would guess he gets some
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: of his news either from the Internet or from conversations
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: with other people. It just and it's sort of fascinating
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: to me. And again, this is no cut on him,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: because we've hit a period in time where if you
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: say anything that sounds even remotely like a conspiracy theory.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: There's one of two reactions. There's like, oh wow, I
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: never thought of that, or there's that makes perfect sense
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: to me, I like it, or there's you're conspiracy theorist.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Any one of those three can happen. You got the
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: surprise and excitement, you've got them hmmm, that sounds feasible,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Or you've got the your nuts. I think that's the three.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: My reaction typically is sort of the hey, you do you?
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I think if you've listened to this show for a
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: length of time, you know that that's where I am
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: on most things. You do you. I'm not gonna believe that,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: but you can. There were some crazy conspiracy theories about
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Tim Walls that I heard and I thought, my gosh,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: people are and I heard it from one place, and
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: then I heard it again from another place, and I thought, okay,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: so this is a thing. It's not just one person.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Yesterday it was kind of on the other side. It
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: was on the l And for people who think only
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: people on the right dive down these conspiracy holes, just
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: want you to know it's not just people on the right.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: There's people on the left that do it too. I
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: had heard a few of the things that were discussed
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: yesterday from a few places, but this one was I mean,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: very thought out, very It had to do with the
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: assassination attempt on Trump and specific details on how it
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: was staged. In fact, I've heard people say that, but
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: this was a very organized so I just want it said.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: And again, one of the things that makes conspiracy theories
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: for all of us fun is it's very hard to
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: disprove them. I mean, that's by nature the way it works.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: You can't prove a negative. Therefore, you know there's a
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: challenge to it. Now, you can logic your way through
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: it in some cases, but sometimes you know, the conspiracies
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: are real. And I'm not saying that. I feel pretty
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: confident that Trump was actually shot in the air, and
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I feel pretty confident that Tim Walls wasn't doing all
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: of the things that were reported. I'm not going to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: repeat those because you may be having breakfast or at
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: least your coffee, and I don't want to go there.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: So it was just interesting the timing of that that.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: And then after doing the show, I finished the Mister
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: McMahon series and the last episode I had to watch
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: touched on former and future President Trump's time in the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: WWE in his participation, and how they were talking about
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: him having the heat and how his persona being almost
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: more well suited for wrestling than for politics, which I
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: thought also was interesting after some of the things I
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: said yesterday on the show. So there you go. All right,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: it's Friday. It's time for some strange and bizarre news
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: from around the world, and let's get started. We got
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: a hamster story. A plane had to be grounded for
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: four days in an airport in Portugal after one hundred
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: and thirty two hamsters escaped from their cages in the
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: cargo hold and started running wild through the plane. The
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: tap Air Portugal flight had just landed in Ponta Delgada
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: from Lisbon and was transporting small animals destined for a
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: pet shop. At some point during the flight, the hamsters
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: got loose and made their way into the cabin. The
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: plane was held at the airport for four days as
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: maintenance crews worked to wrangle up all of the hamsters.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: They were able to capture all but sixteen of them.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: They also had to carefully inspect the plane and make
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: sure the hamsters didn't nibble through any wires. See that's
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: where I went straight away. The plane was eventually flown
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: back to Lisbon. It's unclear if the remaining hamsters had
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: been found. Yeah, if you ever had a hamster, which
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: we did, we had I was a kid. We bought
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: two male hamsters. I had one, my brother had one,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and they lived in the same pen. Turns out one
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: of them wasn't a male hamster, so we ended up
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: with a lot of hamsters. And yes, they do like
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: to nibble on everything they chew, and I would imagine
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: they would try to gnaw through wires on an airplane
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: and that sounds a little terrifying. Bears in eastern Tennessee
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: are busy filling up on as much food as possible
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: before going into hibernation, and that recently led one bear
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: with a sweet tooth into a candy store in Gatlinburg.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Staff and customers at the Sweet Candy store were shocked
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: when the large bear strolled in and started sampling candy.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: The video posted to social media, the bear could be
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: seen helping himself to Charleston Chow's and Hershey Kisses while
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: people stand around taking photos. Workers tried to get the
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: bear out of the store before it could do a
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: lot of damage. And it finally left when police arrived.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: See even they are aware. You had to respect the
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: police have to they're showing up. It's time to go.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Four people were This is a non bear story. Four
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: people were rested in LA and charged with insurance fraud
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: and conspiracy after a bear broke into their call cars
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: and caused thousands of dollars in damage, supposedly a bear.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: As it turned out, the bear was actually a person
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: in a costume. The California Department of Insurance says the
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: suspects filed acclaim with their insurance company, saying the bear
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: destroyed a twenty ten Rolls Royce, and they even provided
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: a video appearing to show in the animal going wild
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: inside the vehicle. The department was a little suspicious and
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: worried and sorry, suspicious and wondered if the bear was
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: actually real. They asked biologists with the Department of Fish
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: and Wildlife to take a look, and they confirmed it
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: was clearly a human in a bear suit. The insurance
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: department sent investigators and they found out there were two
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: other claims aims made by the four suspects, with two
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: different insurance companies also claiming that a bear destroyed one
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: of their cars. That would be bad luck if it
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: just kept happening, wasn't it. Videos of those incidents were
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: also submitted and determined to be fake. All together, the
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: suspects sought to defraud insurance companies of one hundred and
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: forty one thousand dollars. Any word on if the person
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: in the bear suit really really liked candy and lived
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: in the Gatlinburg area. That seems like another potential scam, Right,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Phil Anderson is a Colorado I'm not implying that they did.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I'm just asking the question. Phil Anderson of Colorado man.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: He was forced to spend the last year trying to
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: prove that to the irs that he was not dead.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: The Tax Agency mistakenly marked Anderson deceased locked his tax accounts,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: which prevented him from receiving funds. At the root of
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: the problem was a mix up with his Social Security
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: number that was switched with that of his late daughter,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: who died in twenty two, twenty two. His efforts to
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: correct the problem were fruitless until he turned to his
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: representative in Congress, who finally got it all straightened out.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: He is still waiting for his twenty twenty three tax
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: refund though, so that stinks. And that's one of those
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: things where it's got to be like sort of reliving
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: the passing of his daughter over and over again too,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: because he's just constantly reminded of that, and that's that's awful.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: A couple of new homeowners in France moved to their
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: new house were immediately put into the plot of a
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: horror movie. Soon after the couple moved in, they started
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: renovating the old house and discovered a human skeleton in
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the attic, which authorities believe is likely the decomposed body
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: of a former owner who mysteriously disappeared fifteen years ago.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Investigators say that a corpse reduced to a skeleton was
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: found on a Saturday afternoon, adding that the remains were
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: found to be in a difficult to act SSS spot
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: under the roof, whose entrance was almost hidden. The couple
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: bought the house last year, and the widow of the
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: owner had passed away. Her eighty one year old husband
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: vanished in two thousand and nine and remained missing until
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: his body was found. Authorities are investigating the cause of death,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: but believe it was likely a suicide. It's unclear whether
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: the couple will continue to live in the house. That's wild.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's like the makings of a horror story,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: isn't it. A Florida man was arrested by police officers
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: for going around pretending to be a law enforcement officer.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Sixty nine year old Salvator Grunny drove around a Dodge
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Charger with blue flashing lights in the front and pulled
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: over a motorist for reckless driving. He was wearing a
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: T shirt and jeans and flashed a badge and a gun.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: The motorists suspected he may be a fake cop, so
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: he called the Sheriff's office. When deputies arrived at Grooney
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: told him that he is with the Office of Naval
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Intelligence and showed them an ID card which had clearly
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: been altered. The Office of Naval Intelligence told deputies that
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Grooney had previously worked for them, but was retired and
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: had been warned in the past about masquerading as a cop.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Groeney was arrested in charge with openly carrying a firearm,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: impersonating a federal law enforcement agent, unlawful use of blue lights,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: and unlawful use of a badge. A group of lamas
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: caused some drama in Utah On Tuesday. Authorities in Provo,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Utah said that they received a call from transit officials
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: with the Union Pacific Line about lama's walking on train tracks.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: It was determined that the domesticated lamas had somehow escaped
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: from their owner's property and were lost. Emergency responders were
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: called out to round up the animals. It's unclear whether
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: they were returned to their owner or brought to animal rescue.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Train service not disrupted, though, so There's that an elderly
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: woman hearing strange animal noises coming from under her la
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: house got a huge shock when police came to investigate
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: and found a naked man living in her crawl space.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: The ninety three year old thought she had dogs or
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: other wild animals scurrying through her crawl space, but when
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the noises started getting louder, especially in response to her
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: walking across the floor, as she called police officers arrived
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: to investigate, and that's when they found a naked man
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: and discovered he had settled into the crawl space over
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: several months. Police say the man, identified as twenty seven
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: year old Isaac Bettecourt, refused to come out and they
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: had to use tear gas to remove him. Meanwhile, the
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: woman's family has already secured the crawl space to prevent
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: any other unwanted house guests. Probably not what they were
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: thinking was going on down there. I mean, what person
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: just lives in someone's crawl space? But I guess, I
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: mean it beats a tent out on the street in
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: some of these cities. So a Florida man called police
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: after a group of teenagers kept harassing him. He never
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: thought he'd be the one in handcuffs, though, Police say
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: fifty four year old Everett Brown called and said one
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: of the kids were bothering him and had kicked down
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: his door and hit him with a broom handle. Deputies
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: responded to the home and arrested a fourteen year old
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: for burglary and battery. But when deputies were investigating the scene,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: they noticed Brown had cocaine and drug paraphernalia displayed in
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: plane view and made no effort to hide it, so
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: he was also placed under arrest. Polk County Sheriff Grady
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Judd said Everett forgot to hide his cocaine before he
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: had us investigate the crime, so he went to jail
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: for possession of cocaine and paraphernalia. You can't make this
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: stuff up. Yeah, I mean, it seems like it would
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: make sense to at least, you know, take some precautions.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: But he was so worked up about getting hit with
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: the broom handle. I guess that he didn't think about it.
• 15:55

• 18:01
  Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: care of square in that away for you, and while
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five

  Speaker 2: after the break, Well, here's some good news as we
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: get ready to enter Thanksgiving week. Thanksgiving dinner that you
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: may host for your family this year or someone's hosting
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: for you, looks like it's gonna cost a little bit
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: less for whoever's hosting. According to the American Farm Bureau Federation,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: the average cost of a Thanksgiving dinner for ten people
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: this year will be fifty six dollars and ninety three cents.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Almost read it the retail way. By the way, if
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: you didn't know this, and if you've no never worked retail,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: you're not supposed to say dollars and cents when you
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: tell someone the cost. You're just supposed to say, that's
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: fifty six ninety three. Adding extra words makes it sound
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: like it costs more. In this case, I'm not selling
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: you anything. Fifty six dollars in ninety three cents is
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: the average price for ten people that's four dollars and
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: twenty four cents less than last year. One big reason
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: for the reduction is a two percent increase in turkey
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: production this year, which helps keep the cost down. Go
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Banking Rates has analyzed the data and determine the average
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: cost of Thanksgiving dinner in each state and found that
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: some states have a much higher cost for Thanksgiving dinner
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: than others. For instance, the average dinner for ten and
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Hawaii will cost you just over eighty dollars. Alaska, Maryland, Nebraska, California,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Virginia all over seventy dollars. Here's the good news for
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: many of you listening here in the Chattahoochee Valley area.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: The lowest cost for Thanksgiving dinner Georgia, Kansas, Missouri, Alabama,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: and South Carolina. So there you go. That's pretty good.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: It kind of hits the southeast. What are we doing
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: that those other states are not? Some millennial job seekers
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: are hoping to stand out by including photos in their resume,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: and according to a recent survey, forty two percent of
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: millennials are now including headshots on their resumes. Even gen
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Z is now on board, with forty six percent considering it. However,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: experts warned that the trend could backfire. The Equal Employment
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Opportunity Commission the EEOC advises against photos to avoid discrimination,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: and many employers might toss out resumes with pictures to
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: reduce the appearance of bias. See that's what I was thinking.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: More so than anything else, I would discourage it. There's
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of rules and ethical things that you're supposed
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: to do when it comes to actually going through residge.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: You're not supposed to mark them. Any sort of marking
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: on a resume could be considered a by folks at
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: the EEOC, right They could say, oh, you marked that
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: one because of how this person looked when they turned
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: it in, or you know, something to that effect. So
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: I would think, unless you're just trying to create some
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: sort of an issue, submitting your photo is not necessarily
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: the best idea. Although I do know for a fact
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: I was once passed up for a job because the
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: person who applied right before I was after I was
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: promised the job and almost given the job, sending a photo,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: but she was leaning over a car and not wearing
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: a lot of clothing, and for some reason they liked
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: her better than me for that particular job. Thanks a lot,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: all right. How many pushups can you do? Probably not
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: close to as many as fifty nine year old at
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Donna Jane Wilde of Alberta, Canada. She's a grandmother, by
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: the way, and she just beat a Guinness World record
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: for most push ups in an hour for a woman.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: I know that's one of those things. Is that even
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: still a category? It is? We learned that earlier this
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: month that that's still a category, didn't we? In a
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: very definitive way, she completed fifteen hundred and seventy five
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: push ups, beating the previous record with seventeen minutes to spare.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: She was cheered on by eleven of her twelve grandkids.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Wild also holds the record for the longest time and
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: an abdominal plank for a female four hours, thirty minutes
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: and eleven seconds. She said training for that record prepared
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: her to take the push up title. I remember the
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: planking record. I remember covering that one. So if your
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: is your relationship the real deal or a situationship, some
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: people have a hard time determining it, and they say
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: to find out, you use what's called the soup test.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Soup test was coined by artist Ofira Odom and her
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: sister when they were in their early twenties. Odom recently
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: posted about it on social media. The concept pretty simple.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: You make the person you're dating something nice to eat
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: as a gift, like soup, banana, bread, or a home
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: cooked meal, and then see how they react. According to
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: the soup test, the person will even either be freaked
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: out quickly break things off, or they'll be touched, and
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: that's the sign that the relationship actually has potential, She says.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: If they care about you, they'll view it as a
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: green flag and love it. And if they view basically
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: you as a temporary relationship, that'll be the point, well,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: they'll end it. It's the soup test that'll do it.
