- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Friday morning, a fourteenth day of February. I'm Wes. Thanks
- 0:13Speaker 2: for joining me at Valentine's Day. If you're if you're
- 0:19Speaker 2: doing something for your Valentine, this is your this is
- 0:23Speaker 2: your head's up. You should have you should probably already
- 0:27Speaker 2: have it. I don't know. Maybe you're picking it up
- 0:28Speaker 2: today just a reminder. Maybe you're swinging by to pick
- 0:32Speaker 2: up some flowers. Maybe you're swinging by to pick up
- 0:35Speaker 2: a card. I don't know. You don't want to be
- 0:37Speaker 2: that guy standing there over the lunch break in the
- 0:41Speaker 2: card section at the store going I don't know. I
- 0:46Speaker 2: gotta because it's tough. You want to get the car
- 0:48Speaker 2: that has the right message in it, right there were
- 0:51Speaker 2: There was a point many years ago where a friend
- 0:55Speaker 2: of mine and I we started sending each other cards
- 0:58Speaker 2: that really had nothing to do with whatever the occasion was.
- 1:03Speaker 2: And in some cases we'd send the same card back
- 1:06Speaker 2: and forth to each other. But it just it became
- 1:09Speaker 2: a tradition. Became a tradition and most of the time,
- 1:14Speaker 2: and Jill doesn't typically she has to pick her spots
- 1:18Speaker 2: when she sends me to the store to pick out
- 1:20Speaker 2: a card, because she knows that if she sends me
- 1:24Speaker 2: to get a card for a birthday, then it's probably
- 1:31Speaker 2: it's probably not going to be a traditional birthday card.
- 1:38Speaker 2: It's probably not going to be the correct birthday card
- 1:43Speaker 2: for it. Like if you're getting a kid's card, it's
- 1:47Speaker 2: probably not going to be the right age. I mean,
- 1:49Speaker 2: I've given my you know, nephews or even my boys
- 1:54Speaker 2: cards that say, you know, hey, congratulations on being seventy.
- 1:58Speaker 2: You know, you do those kinds of cause it's just
- 2:00Speaker 2: easier than wasting your time standing there looking for the
- 2:03Speaker 2: exact card you want. I've given sympathy cards as birthday
- 2:07Speaker 2: cards or birthday cards to say, you know, congratulations on graduating.
- 2:14Speaker 2: It's just easier. You just pick one and you go.
- 2:16Speaker 2: You know, I like the little dog on this one.
- 2:18Speaker 2: I'm gonna get it, and then maybe you have to
- 2:20Speaker 2: make a few adjustments. I'm a big fan of getting
- 2:23Speaker 2: the birthday card for someone that says like, hey, you're five,
- 2:28Speaker 2: and then you make it say fifty or you know,
- 2:31Speaker 2: or fifteen, or you're a big girl. Now you know
- 2:35Speaker 2: you're two, and then you make it say twelve, and
- 2:36Speaker 2: then you give it to a boy. Those are but
- 2:42Speaker 2: even that's requiring more thought than I think we should
- 2:44Speaker 2: give them. I think we just get the card and
- 2:47Speaker 2: then you just give it to them. So Valentine's is
- 2:50Speaker 2: different because you don't want to get the wrong card.
- 2:52Speaker 2: You definitely don't want to give a card that gives
- 2:54Speaker 2: the wrong message. So they do require some thought unless
- 2:59Speaker 2: you're like me and your spouse knows that it's probably
- 3:03Speaker 2: going to say something, you know, like we're going to
- 3:07Speaker 2: miss you around the office, Happy Valentine's Day, those kind
- 3:12Speaker 2: of things. So Jill and I made a deal many
- 3:15Speaker 2: years ago. Everybody still tells me every year without fail,
- 3:18Speaker 2: it's a mistake. You're falling for a trap. But we
- 3:21Speaker 2: we don't. We go have a meal together, or we
- 3:25Speaker 2: make something for each other, but we don't. We don't
- 3:27Speaker 2: buy things. I have given her flowers over the years.
- 3:31Speaker 2: There's been times where through my job, flowers were made
- 3:36Speaker 2: available and all I had to do was help promote
- 3:38Speaker 2: the company that was giving the flowers, and I give
- 3:41Speaker 2: her flowers. And this is just a pro tip. And
- 3:43Speaker 2: if it's if you're doing this now, you know I've
- 3:46Speaker 2: talked about this quite a bit. I try to give
- 3:49Speaker 2: you the heads up. But you know, if you're married,
- 3:52Speaker 2: you know, if you don't know what your wedding flower was,
- 3:55Speaker 2: what her pick was, then you should you should know it.
- 3:58Speaker 2: And that's a great flower to give on Valentine's Day
- 4:01Speaker 2: or on your anniversary. So or you know, maybe you
- 4:05Speaker 2: got married on Valentine's Day. That happened for some people.
- 4:07Speaker 2: So anyway, good luck. You don't want to be that
- 4:11Speaker 2: guy at the store today that's trying to pick things out.
- 4:14Speaker 2: And just a reminder if you don't have plans for
- 4:18Speaker 2: tonight and maybe you and your valentine are going to
- 4:21Speaker 2: go and celebrate tomorrow or Sunday. You know, there's always
- 4:27Speaker 2: those discounts. There's always the discounts. Everything's marked down tomorrow.
- 4:33Speaker 2: You know, tomorrow is the unofficial you know, side hoe
- 4:36Speaker 2: or side Chick day. That's when everything's marked down. You
- 4:38Speaker 2: can get her the candy, you could get her, the cards,
- 4:41Speaker 2: you could get her all those, all the things. Probably
- 4:44Speaker 2: the flowers might be marked down. So if you can,
- 4:47Speaker 2: if you can kick it into the weekend, you know,
- 4:49Speaker 2: if you can punt until tomorrow, there's big savings that
- 4:54Speaker 2: are waiting for you. This is what it's like for
- 4:56Speaker 2: Jill to be married to me, by the way, but
- 4:58Speaker 2: it's great that we don't be Will say, oh, she's
- 5:00Speaker 2: going to be mad if you don't get her something,
- 5:03Speaker 2: and she's not. She's yet to be mad. And I
- 5:06Speaker 2: don't get mad when I don't want to. I don't
- 5:07Speaker 2: need a card. I don't need. But if she gives
- 5:10Speaker 2: me a card that says, hey, you're one hundred, and
- 5:14Speaker 2: then she writes Happy Valentine's Day, that's perfect. That's great.
- 5:19Speaker 2: It's Friday. I mean, it's Valentine's Day, but it's Friday.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Let's get into some strange and bizarre news from around
- 5:25Speaker 2: the world. Let's start in Florida. It's always good to
- 5:28Speaker 2: start in Florida, isn't it. Two women were arrested after
- 5:33Speaker 2: they hosted a massive house party for over one hundred
- 5:36Speaker 2: teenagers and gave them alcohol. That's not good. The story
- 5:43Speaker 2: gets worse, though, the women school principal and a teacher,
- 5:50Speaker 2: Elizabeth Hill broughtigan. The principal of Roosevelt Elementary School, was
- 5:54Speaker 2: charged with holding an open house party and contributing to
- 5:56Speaker 2: the delinquency of a minor. Carly Anderson At the teacher
- 6:00Speaker 2: at the same school was drunk at the party and
- 6:02Speaker 2: charged with child neglect and contributing to the delinquency of
- 6:05Speaker 2: a minor. When the police arrived, they found that many
- 6:09Speaker 2: of the teens were there drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Some were arrested away from the house for drunk driving.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Students told police there were coolers of alcohol available inside
- 6:19Speaker 2: the house. They added that someone displayed a gun and
- 6:22Speaker 2: there were multiple fights. The Brevard Public School superintendent sent
- 6:27Speaker 2: a letter to the parents saying, if these allegations are true,
- 6:30Speaker 2: it's a complete failure in leadership and violation of our trust.
- 6:34Speaker 2: But did not make a decision on the employment at
- 6:38Speaker 2: least at the time of this article being written. So
- 6:40Speaker 2: maybe they've decided to wind things down with those two
- 6:44Speaker 2: by this point, you would think. So it seems like
- 6:49Speaker 2: an easy call to make, but they do probably need
- 6:52Speaker 2: to investigate it at least so that it's a cya
- 6:56Speaker 2: thing at this point, isn't it. A Connecticut man was
- 6:59Speaker 2: placed on to arrest and he says all he did
- 7:02Speaker 2: was love his cat. Police were like, I don't know
- 7:04Speaker 2: if this is quite the case. Twenty eight year old
- 7:08Speaker 2: Logan Mirror Mosofari Mirror Mozovari I was pulled over after
- 7:17Speaker 2: a trooper clocked him doing more than one hundred miles
- 7:20Speaker 2: per hour. I saw one hundred and thirty miles per hour.
- 7:23Speaker 2: It was more than one hundred. It was more than
- 7:25Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty on the highway. Trooper asked him
- 7:28Speaker 2: why he was driving so fast, and he explained he
- 7:31Speaker 2: wanted to get home to see his cat. I mean,
- 7:36Speaker 2: I love my dog.
- 7:38Speaker 1: I do.
- 7:39Speaker 2: I've had moments where I wanted to get home and
- 7:41Speaker 2: see him, or maybe I was a little worried about him,
- 7:43Speaker 2: and you know, maybe maybe kind of rolled through a
- 7:50Speaker 2: stop sign. I don't know. I don't typically do that.
- 7:54Speaker 2: I can't say that I didn't do it or wouldn't
- 7:56Speaker 2: do it if I was trying to get home to
- 7:57Speaker 2: my dog more quickly. But the point is, I've never
- 8:00Speaker 2: driven one hundred and thirty miles an hour plus on
- 8:02Speaker 2: the highway to get to my dog or any animal.
- 8:07Speaker 2: The trooper noticed that he had a smell of booze
- 8:12Speaker 2: on his breath, and his eyes were glossy and speech
- 8:14Speaker 2: was slurred. He failed a series of sobriety tests who
- 8:17Speaker 2: was placed under wrest, so he had to go even
- 8:19Speaker 2: longer without seeing his cat, which is kind of sad
- 8:23Speaker 2: for the cat. Maybe not so much for him, but
- 8:26Speaker 2: it's sad for the cat. Or maybe the cat's like, Hey,
- 8:29Speaker 2: the guy's always drunk. I don't really want him around.
- 8:31Speaker 2: An Idaho man either really loves can tomato soup or
- 8:36Speaker 2: he's kind of a clever criminal, police say the latter.
- 8:40Speaker 2: Police responded to a call of a theft in progress
- 8:43Speaker 2: at a Walmart location, but the suspect had already left
- 8:46Speaker 2: the store by the time they arrived, and they were
- 8:49Speaker 2: given a description of him and his vehicle, and they
- 8:51Speaker 2: were able to locate him at his home. They say
- 8:54Speaker 2: that thirty two year old Dylan Rockwell was arrested and
- 8:57Speaker 2: accused of committing several thefts at Walmart over a period
- 9:00Speaker 2: of time, using a ring that he wore on his finger.
- 9:05Speaker 2: The ring contained a bar code from a can of
- 9:09Speaker 2: tomato soup. Rockwell would bring merchandise to the self checkout
- 9:13Speaker 2: and scan the code on his ring, then leave the
- 9:18Speaker 2: store with the stolen items. And his latest theft, Rockwell
- 9:21Speaker 2: scanned three hundred dollars gas grill as a can of soup.
- 9:26Speaker 2: Police found plenty of other stolen items inside his home.
- 9:29Speaker 2: Rockwell was charged with felony, burglary and being is being
- 9:33Speaker 2: held in jail. The chief of police said in a statement, Sorry,
- 9:36Speaker 2: mister Rockwell, your tactics didn't work this time, but we
- 9:39Speaker 2: appreciate your creativity. We know times are tough, but your
- 9:44Speaker 2: ingenuity got you some County soup for dinner. I gotta
- 9:51Speaker 2: say this, it's clever. I mean it's clever. I'm not
- 9:56Speaker 2: advocating the practice, and I'm not certainly not a fan
- 9:59Speaker 2: of theft. You know, this kind of shrinkage they call
- 10:05Speaker 2: it in stores, it was stealing or waste. It causes
- 10:10Speaker 2: prices to go up in some capacity, but I mean
- 10:13Speaker 2: it's a clever way to pull it off because it's
- 10:16Speaker 2: on the ring. You go to act like you're scanning
- 10:18Speaker 2: it at beeps. I mean, there is a This guy
- 10:24Speaker 2: could be working for security for some of these companies,
- 10:28Speaker 2: giving them ways that people might try to scam, because
- 10:30Speaker 2: that's a pretty good one. Again, not advocating for it,
- 10:35Speaker 2: it's just pretty clever. Even the police admitted it. Airport
- 10:39Speaker 2: officials in Berlin are looking for the owner of a
- 10:41Speaker 2: Volkswagen that's been parked in short term parking but for
- 10:46Speaker 2: a long time. Two hundred thousand dollars in parking fees
- 10:51Speaker 2: have been accrued to be specific. Parking at the Brandenburg
- 10:55Speaker 2: Airport costs about twenty three dollars an hour and is
- 10:57Speaker 2: usually meant for people coming to pick someone ELT's up.
- 11:01Speaker 2: But somebody parked their car there about a year ago
- 11:03Speaker 2: and hasn't come back. Probably aren't going to come back
- 11:06Speaker 2: because they'll have to pay the two hundred grand to
- 11:11Speaker 2: get it out of the lot. That's a lot for
- 11:15Speaker 2: I don't even does it say what kind of car
- 11:16Speaker 2: it is? Police say the license plate don't match the vehicle,
- 11:20Speaker 2: which means they may have to put a lot of
- 11:24Speaker 2: effort into figure out who owns it, and they may
- 11:26Speaker 2: never figure out who owns it. The car was towed
- 11:29Speaker 2: and I pounded. Police believe the car was likely stolen,
- 11:31Speaker 2: driven to the airport, where it was then abandoned. That
- 11:34Speaker 2: seems like the logical solution straight out of a movie, right,
- 11:39Speaker 2: like out of Breaking Bad. You just leave the car there.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Maybe you get on an airplane and fly away. A
- 11:45Speaker 2: Utah man who claimed that he could dodge bullets and
- 11:49Speaker 2: challenged his friend to shoot him in the chest, it
- 11:54Speaker 2: was proven wrong. Shocker Police arrested twenty three year old
- 11:59Speaker 2: Ashton Johnathan Man on one count of second degree felony manslaughter.
- 12:03Speaker 2: They say he and his friend had been smoking marijuana
- 12:06Speaker 2: and the victims started bragging he could dodge a bullet.
- 12:09Speaker 2: Man then allegedly drew a weapon and shot him in
- 12:13Speaker 2: the chest. He called police. Officers arrived, found the victim
- 12:17Speaker 2: with a gunshot, wounded the chest, lying on the floor.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Rushed to the hospital but pronounced dead. This is one
- 12:25Speaker 2: of those things where how does he prove that the
- 12:29Speaker 2: guy told him to shoot him? I mean, if he
- 12:32Speaker 2: says the guy told me to shoot him, or that
- 12:35Speaker 2: he could dodge bullets so I shot him, Like, yeah,
- 12:39Speaker 2: how do we know that that's really what happened. I mean,
- 12:43Speaker 2: that's a convenient way to get it lowered to manslaughter, right,
- 12:45Speaker 2: Maybe he just wanted to shoot the guy. I don't know.
- 12:47Speaker 2: I'm not making accusations, I'm just asking questions. Florida man
- 12:54Speaker 2: was in an advanced auto parts store ended up in
- 12:58Speaker 2: jail on drug charges. Police say twenty nine year old
- 13:00Speaker 2: Jonathan Navass had driven to Georgia and spent more than
- 13:04Speaker 2: an hour inside the autopart store, barking like a dog.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Police were called to the store and Navas told him
- 13:11Speaker 2: that he had absolutely no idea that he was bothering anybody.
- 13:15Speaker 1: He was then.
- 13:16Speaker 2: Escorted outside to his car, where officers quickly got their
- 13:19Speaker 2: answer to why he was barking like a dog for
- 13:21Speaker 2: an hour. He had baggies filled with meth amphetamine in
- 13:25Speaker 2: the vehicle. Police also learned he had an active warrant
- 13:29Speaker 2: for his arrest back in Florida. The barking like a
- 13:36Speaker 2: dog thing another reason to not do meth I mean,
- 13:42Speaker 2: you know your dog barks enough, they gotta go horse.
- 13:46Speaker 2: I think an hour of barking like a dog would
- 13:48Speaker 2: probably make you go horse as a person, horse not hoors.
- 13:55Speaker 2: All right, all right, this is an Australia story that
- 13:58Speaker 2: involves a snake. I know that people get all tense
- 14:01Speaker 2: about spiders and snakes in Australia, but I'm gonna do
- 14:05Speaker 2: the story because it's a weird one, and even for
- 14:11Speaker 2: the Australia stories, this one's kind of out there. But anyway,
- 14:16Speaker 2: homeowner David Stein called in a reptile wrangler after spotting
- 14:20Speaker 2: six venomous red bellied snakes in his yard. Count was off, though,
- 14:27Speaker 2: because when the snake catcher arrived and they had to
- 14:29Speaker 2: spend three hours at the property, left with more than
- 14:32Speaker 2: one hundred venomous snakes. Stein said, I was shivering and
- 14:39Speaker 2: shaking at the time I saw them. Then my wife
- 14:41Speaker 2: googled and found the snakes congregate like that and that
- 14:46Speaker 2: means they're ready to give birth. And he was just
- 14:51Speaker 2: uncovering baby after baby after baby. It was totally amazing.
- 14:54Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it. Five adults, ninety seven babies. They
- 14:58Speaker 2: were all released back into the wild. I assume, far
- 15:03Speaker 2: far away from where people live. It's just nature playing out, man.
- 15:08Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with going to Australiaah, just nature, just a
- 15:12Speaker 2: natural thing. These snakes giving birth and producing more venomous snakes,
- 15:19Speaker 2: all right. Finally, US customs agents at La International Airport
- 15:25Speaker 2: inspected a cargo shipment and discovered more than three dozen
- 15:29Speaker 2: enormous live beetles hidden inside packages of snacks. The giant beetles,
- 15:34Speaker 2: reportedly the size of the average human hand, were found
- 15:38Speaker 2: in bags of potato, chips and chocolate. An agriculture specialist
- 15:43Speaker 2: at LAX says they may look harmless, but in reality,
- 15:46Speaker 2: smuggled beetles pose a significant threat to our vital agriculture resources.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Beetles can become a serious pest by eating plants, leaves
- 15:56Speaker 2: and roots, and laying eggs on tree bark, with damages
- 16:00Speaker 2: to our forest. The illegal trade of exotic insects is
- 16:03Speaker 2: worth a lot of money. These beetles have an estimated
- 16:06Speaker 2: value of more than fourteen hundred dollars. Authorities say the
- 16:09Speaker 2: insects have been turned over to the US Department of
- 16:11Speaker 2: Agriculture and will likely be donated to zoos. Hiding them
- 16:19Speaker 2: in food also not a good I mean, I would
- 16:22Speaker 2: think that's not a good plan, but I don't know.
- 16:26Speaker 2: We traveled once, my dad and I flew into New Zealand,
- 16:32Speaker 2: and my dad had some pringles with him, and when
- 16:36Speaker 2: we got there, one of the search the drug dogs
- 16:39Speaker 2: immediately went for his pringles and they had to open
- 16:42Speaker 2: it up and look and make sure it was just
- 16:43Speaker 2: pringles in there. So that seems to be like, not
- 16:46Speaker 2: a good place to hide insects. Plus, I mean, unless
- 16:50Speaker 2: you want to maybe accidentally eat a giant hand sized beetle,
- 16:53Speaker 2: it's probably not good to put it in your snacks anyway.
- 16:55Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca

- 17:49Speaker 2: any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's
- 17:53Speaker 2: one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
- 17:56Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
- 17:59Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
- 18:05Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
- 18:09Speaker 2: Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome.

- 18:23Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
- 18:27Speaker 2: city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you
- 18:29Speaker 2: can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also
- 18:32Speaker 2: on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Shaan Crusan

- 18:49Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage door needs,
- 18:52Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's

- 19:17Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 19:20Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 19:23Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 19:25Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 19:29Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
- 19:33Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 19:36Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 19:40Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 19:42Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 19:45Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 19:48Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 19:51Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 19:53Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
- 19:56Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 19:58Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can that for you as well,
- 20:01Speaker 2: and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse
- 20:04Speaker 2: than that thought of having your car trapped inside your
- 20:06Speaker 2: garage and your garage door won't open and you need
- 20:09Speaker 2: somebody to come help. And they do those as well.
- 20:13Speaker 2: Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred, seven oh
- 20:16Speaker 2: six three five eight forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot
- 20:20Speaker 2: com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break,
- 20:32Speaker 2: All right, it's Valentine's Day. Estimated about two hundred and
- 20:35Speaker 2: fifty million roses produced every year for Valentine's Day. Most
- 20:40Speaker 2: of them red, but not all of them. In fact,
- 20:43Speaker 2: you may not know this. Every rose color has a
- 20:47Speaker 2: unique meaning. So if your Valentine gets your roses this
- 20:51Speaker 2: year and you're wondering what they mean, here here's what
- 20:55Speaker 2: they typically will mean. Red signifies deep love, pink admiration,
- 21:03Speaker 2: White is purity. That makes sense, Yellow symbolizes friendship, orange, enthusiasm, lavender,
- 21:11Speaker 2: falling in love at first sight? All right, a couple
- 21:17Speaker 2: of things. Read that makes sense? Deep love, got it?
- 21:19Speaker 2: Pink admiration, all right. Purity makes the most sense of
- 21:25Speaker 2: all of them. That's kind of what the you know,
- 21:27Speaker 2: symbolism of white has been for a long time. Yellow friendship,
- 21:33Speaker 2: I mean I've I've known that. I've heard that, and
- 21:36Speaker 2: that's the I don't understand enthusiasm. What is this? What
- 21:40Speaker 2: is what are we? What are we telling somebody? If
- 21:43Speaker 2: we give them enthusiasm, roses, lavender, love at first sight,
- 21:48Speaker 2: that's fine, But I want to I want to focus
- 21:51Speaker 2: on the enthusiasm. What so can you mix them up
- 21:54Speaker 2: and give different messages? Can you say I admire you,
- 21:59Speaker 2: I deeply love you, and I've got a lot of enthusiasm.
- 22:02Speaker 2: Are you talking about your enthusiasm or are we talking
- 22:06Speaker 2: about their enthusiast whose enthusiasm is being spotlighted with the
- 22:12Speaker 2: orange rose. I don't I mean, you don't see a
- 22:14Speaker 2: lot of them, so maybe people don't have a lot
- 22:16Speaker 2: of enthusiasm. I don't know. I do understand though, that
- 22:21Speaker 2: it's very possible that people just get colored roses based
- 22:25Speaker 2: on the person that they're giving the rose to, as
- 22:29Speaker 2: a way to say, you know, hey, I know you
- 22:31Speaker 2: like the color orange, so I'm going to get you
- 22:34Speaker 2: orange roses. And in that case, maybe you would have
- 22:38Speaker 2: enthusiasm about giving them because you know how much they
- 22:41Speaker 2: like them. I just don't understand the enthusiasm one. That
- 22:44Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense to me. Speaking of orange things,
- 22:49Speaker 2: Harry Potter is venturing into the goldfish world. Peveridge Farm
- 22:54Speaker 2: announcing Harry Potter Goldfish. They'll be butter beer flavored grams
- 23:00Speaker 2: that'll be available nationwide beginning next month. The crackers come
- 23:04Speaker 2: in shapes of goldfish, a cask of butter beer, and
- 23:07Speaker 2: a mug of butter beer. You know, they've been trying
- 23:11Speaker 2: to do things. We talked about this a few months back,
- 23:14Speaker 2: maybe back October November, where they were trying to market
- 23:18Speaker 2: them as you know, sea bass or whatever, to try
- 23:20Speaker 2: to get adults to eat them. I'm always down for
- 23:24Speaker 2: I mean I'm not. I mean, i'd try the butter
- 23:26Speaker 2: beer flavored one, some of the weird flavor like I'm
- 23:30Speaker 2: more likely to do the goldfish flavors than I am
- 23:33Speaker 2: the oreos. I feel like oreos. It's like coffee. Like
- 23:38Speaker 2: I like coffee flavored coffee. I mean, I do add
- 23:42Speaker 2: you know, I do add like a sweetened creamer to it.
- 23:46Speaker 2: But I'm just in general, I don't need all of
- 23:48Speaker 2: the extra stuff. I don't need all of the different
- 23:51Speaker 2: mocha of this and that. I would drink it, but
- 23:54Speaker 2: just coffee is fine. I'm not a black coffee drinker.
- 23:56Speaker 2: I'm not pretending to be that. But my point is
- 24:00Speaker 2: with oreos, you just kind of want them to taste
- 24:02Speaker 2: like oreos. They had them for a while at least
- 24:04Speaker 2: it tasted like coke zero or coke or whatever, and
- 24:08Speaker 2: I mean that was fine. I'm just I would rather
- 24:10Speaker 2: just I'm gonna waste the calories. I'd rather just have
- 24:13Speaker 2: an oreo. That's how I'm looking at it. And I
- 24:15Speaker 2: don't know that the coke zero flavored oreos were zero calories.
- 24:21Speaker 2: But anyway, oh, the goldfish I can do. I like it.
- 24:24Speaker 2: I finally had the the you know, Red's Hot sauce
- 24:27Speaker 2: flavored ones the other day and they were all right.
- 24:30Speaker 2: Rather again, pizza goldfish are the most popular ones in
- 24:33Speaker 2: this household. That's the way we do it, all right.
- 24:36Speaker 2: So let's talk about texting for just a second. Uh
- 24:40Speaker 2: And they say it's it's a tip for anyone who
- 24:44Speaker 2: is older than gen Z. No one uses punctuation in
- 24:49Speaker 2: their text messages, even periods anymore. It's just not what
- 24:53Speaker 2: they do. Uh. So, basically, if you put a period
- 24:56Speaker 2: at the end of a text, that scene as someone
- 24:59Speaker 2: who is in gen Z as being aggressive gen X
- 25:06Speaker 2: more likely I guess to do this, maybe to put
- 25:09Speaker 2: the periods in. But a gen X mom wrote an
- 25:12Speaker 2: article about the generational little difference when it comes to
- 25:14Speaker 2: texting and shared how her teenage kids think that she's
- 25:18Speaker 2: angry when she puts a period in her texts. She
- 25:22Speaker 2: says her high schooler told her, it freaks me out
- 25:24Speaker 2: when you say yes period in a text. It feels aggressive,
- 25:31Speaker 2: like I'm in trouble or something. So just be aware
- 25:33Speaker 2: of that if you're putting in periods or exclamation points
- 25:37Speaker 2: or you know, sometimes it comes across as a certain way.
- 25:41Speaker 2: Punctuation is not. And I've done better about the you know,
- 25:46Speaker 2: the dot dot dot and my I've I told you
- 25:48Speaker 2: I was going to make an effort to do that
- 25:50Speaker 2: a while back, and I have. I don't send fewer
- 25:53Speaker 2: it s, in fewer long texts. You just send repeat texts.
- 25:57Speaker 2: It's easy to just send five or six of them
- 26:00Speaker 2: other than one with a bunch of dot dot dots
- 26:02Speaker 2: in it. So there you go. That'll Monday's a holiday,
- 26:06Speaker 2: so that'll do it for this Friday edition of the show,
- 26:09Speaker 2: this Valentine's Day edition of the show. We have President's
