One Apology Is Never Enough Anyway · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:05
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, eleventh day of February. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:15
Speaker 2: joining me. A little older today, not quite yet as
0:21
Speaker 2: I'm recording. I got, you know, like eleven hours to
0:24
Speaker 2: my actual birthday, but today's the day and we're celebrating
0:28
Speaker 2: in the Carroll household by basically doing robotussin shots. Everybody
0:33
Speaker 2: seems to have some kind of a crud. I think
0:35
Speaker 2: I'm probably the least sick of the group, at least
0:39
Speaker 2: as of this morning, but everybody else seems to be
0:42
Speaker 2: dealing with something. I've got a little crud. It's not
0:45
Speaker 2: too bad. I don't even think it's audible, so that's good. Usually,
0:49
Speaker 2: as you know, whenever I get it, you can kind
0:51
Speaker 2: of hear it and it doesn't sound great, and I
0:54
Speaker 2: talk about it for a couple of days because I'm
0:56
Speaker 2: really I hear it even when everybody else can't quite
0:59
Speaker 2: hear it. I could hear it after my throat, well,
1:02
Speaker 2: my neck surgery, but the throat was impacted, was abused
1:06
Speaker 2: a bit, gently abused a bit while they were doing
1:09
Speaker 2: the surgery on the back of my neck. Well, the
1:12
Speaker 2: is that the back of your neck. That's the front
1:14
Speaker 2: of your neck, isn't it when they go through the front,
1:17
Speaker 2: the back of your neck would be if they went
1:18
Speaker 2: around it. Either way, they did surgery on my neck
1:21
Speaker 2: and they had to go through my throat to get there,
1:23
Speaker 2: and they had to move things around, and it cause
1:25
Speaker 2: I still have just a little by the way, And
1:27
Speaker 2: I told you i'd give you updates. I've got another
1:29
Speaker 2: follow up appointment later this month, but I've like the
1:34
Speaker 2: only real issues that I'm kind of dealing with regularly
1:40
Speaker 2: that we're surgery related. At least had hit the mute button.
1:44
Speaker 2: There is that the cough button, but it's just just
1:49
Speaker 2: to do with the throat. If I yawned. Sometimes it's
1:51
Speaker 2: still a little sore, but that's just from where you
1:54
Speaker 2: know they're they're doing things in your throat to kind
1:57
Speaker 2: of move things around and make room for them to
1:59
Speaker 2: do what they need to do back there in your neck.
2:02
Speaker 2: So anyway, otherwise, glad that I did the procedure. I mean,
2:06
Speaker 2: I'm not saying otherwise. This is otherwise, and this is
2:10
Speaker 2: the one inconvenience, if I get good sleep and I'm
2:12
Speaker 2: not yawning as much, No harm, no foul right, and
2:16
Speaker 2: they tell me that this will improve. So that's the
2:18
Speaker 2: other side of all of this. So anyway, we'll be
2:23
Speaker 2: doing robotustin shots to celebrate my birthday. That's about as
2:26
Speaker 2: much as we're going to be doing around here to celebrate.
2:29
Speaker 2: Nobody really feels like doing a whole lot. That's okay,
2:31
Speaker 2: we can postpone it. We can do some celebrating later,
2:35
Speaker 2: but there'll probably be some cake involved. So got some
2:40
Speaker 2: things to talk about. There's been a few things I
2:41
Speaker 2: haven't gotten to yet, partly because you kind of think
2:45
Speaker 2: is it even worth the oxygen to talk about it?
2:49
Speaker 2: And I figure at this point, especially after some of
2:54
Speaker 2: the other developments to go with it, it's probably worth
2:57
Speaker 2: at least addressing to some degree. And part of this is, well,
3:04
Speaker 2: it all ties into kind of what we've been talking
3:06
Speaker 2: about this week when it comes to this, or for
3:10
Speaker 2: a couple of week. Hell, I've been talking about for
3:12
Speaker 2: a while, this notion of we are constantly being told
3:17
Speaker 2: like to be angry, to be upset, to be worked up,
3:20
Speaker 2: to be fired up, because there are people that want
3:24
Speaker 2: that kind of reaction from us. We're more easily manipulated
3:27
Speaker 2: when it comes to elections, we're more easily manipulated in general.
3:31
Speaker 2: There's a sweet science to this, if you will, to
3:33
Speaker 2: use the boxing term. And the people that are, you know,
3:37
Speaker 2: doing this, they know what they're doing. They know exactly
3:40
Speaker 2: what they're doing. We saw some elements of some of
3:43
Speaker 2: this in I guess in Congress as we had people
3:47
Speaker 2: from ICE going in talking to this committee that's basically
3:54
Speaker 2: just grilling them. Oh, we're going to really, you know, grind.
3:57
Speaker 2: You put you through the grind or here with questions
4:01
Speaker 2: about Minneapolis and Ice and what's been going on, and sir,
4:04
Speaker 2: do you think you're going to go to hell? And
4:06
Speaker 2: these kinds of things. The show that they put on,
4:08
Speaker 2: the production and it fits in with kind of what
4:11
Speaker 2: we've been talking about too. With it's this idea that
4:15
Speaker 2: you have people on the left that are just looking
4:19
Speaker 2: for ways to make everything about them right. And there's
4:23
Speaker 2: a lot of people that do this. You probably have
4:25
Speaker 2: friends that do this. You probably have celebrities that you
4:29
Speaker 2: follow that do this. You probably if you follow any celebrities,
4:33
Speaker 2: you probably have. And there's some that I follow because
4:36
Speaker 2: I've gotten to know them and I just sort of
4:38
Speaker 2: endure some of the stuff. It's just like any other friendship,
4:41
Speaker 2: you endure some of the conversation when people don't just
4:45
Speaker 2: know how to enjoy life, and they can't just get
4:48
Speaker 2: out and say, hey, I'm gonna I'm gonna go out
4:50
Speaker 2: and just you know, enjoy a nice meal with friends.
4:55
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go enjoy a nice meal with friends while
4:57
Speaker 2: also bickering and fighting with them, And sadly, that's just
5:02
Speaker 2: what it's become. But it's we're being conditioned to do this.
5:05
Speaker 2: We're being conditioned to constantly be in this state of
5:08
Speaker 2: anger and outrage and frustration because it makes it a
5:13
Speaker 2: lot easier for the people that want to have power,
5:18
Speaker 2: want to be in power, to control us that way.
5:22
Speaker 2: And I know, I look, I'm not a conspiracy guy.
5:26
Speaker 2: I say this all the time. Jill told me the
5:28
Speaker 2: other day, You're starting to sound a little bit more
5:30
Speaker 2: like a conspiracy guy. And it's not that it's just well,
5:34
Speaker 2: first of all, they're not even conspiracies anymore if they
5:37
Speaker 2: end up mostly being true. That's the first thing we
5:40
Speaker 2: have to I'm not diving into conspiracy theories. You're not
5:44
Speaker 2: going to hear me do a lot of JFK talk.
5:46
Speaker 2: You're not going to hear me do a lot of
5:48
Speaker 2: you know, the Earth is flat talk or you're not
5:51
Speaker 2: going to hear me talk about the moon landing didn't happen.
5:54
Speaker 2: Those things, to me are and the JFK thing. Look,
5:58
Speaker 2: we can have a discussion on craziness with all that
6:02
Speaker 2: most of the hey, we're not at the International Space Station.
6:05
Speaker 2: I think my stance on that is pretty clear as
6:07
Speaker 2: the creator and host of the Main of Stars podcast,
6:12
Speaker 2: I'm not going to go into any of those things.
6:15
Speaker 2: And there are some of these conspiracy things that no,
6:19
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna get involved in. I'm not gonna get
6:22
Speaker 2: it in any way. I don't entertain it. I don't
6:24
Speaker 2: want to discuss it. That's not my thing. There are
6:30
Speaker 2: some things though that we have all been through an
6:32
Speaker 2: experience that just didn't feel right as they were happening.
6:36
Speaker 2: There's things about it didn't feel right. And you know,
6:40
Speaker 2: I covered COVID as a something that I'm not always
6:44
Speaker 2: comfortable even referring to. You know, I was asked during
6:48
Speaker 2: COVID to be a journalist. What I do is eighty
6:54
Speaker 2: percent opinion on any given day on a ridge. During COVID,
7:02
Speaker 2: I had to be more of a journalist. I couldn't
7:04
Speaker 2: just lean on that twenty percent. It was really a
7:07
Speaker 2: like you have to get in here and you have
7:09
Speaker 2: to cover this with some responsibility. Were there are times
7:14
Speaker 2: when I wanted to just come out and say, in
7:16
Speaker 2: my opinion, this mask thing is BS. Sure, absolutely, there
7:22
Speaker 2: were lots of those moments where I wanted to do that.
7:27
Speaker 2: But that wasn't where I was. That wasn't the position
7:30
Speaker 2: that I was in. I wasn't in a place where
7:33
Speaker 2: I was able to just base it entirely on opinion.
7:38
Speaker 2: That's not where I was. I was being asked to
7:41
Speaker 2: do something else. I was being asked to be a
7:43
Speaker 2: journalist and cover things as a journalist, and I try
7:46
Speaker 2: to come at you with some honest, real stuff. There
7:48
Speaker 2: are times when I'm doing this and I am leaning
7:54
Speaker 2: a little more on some journal I think I have
7:56
Speaker 2: more journalistic chops than a lot of even the the
8:00
Speaker 2: network people. I think sometimes they fall into this trap.
8:05
Speaker 2: They want to be opinion people, but they claim to
8:08
Speaker 2: be journalists. Anyway. I do my best to stay out
8:14
Speaker 2: of the deep conspiracy stuff, and I have friends who
8:20
Speaker 2: went way way into some of the QAnon stuff. I
8:26
Speaker 2: still love them. I just remember thinking, what are you
8:30
Speaker 2: talking about and I remember them all this stuff with
8:33
Speaker 2: you know, they're drinking baby's blood and all this stuff
8:36
Speaker 2: and eating babies or whatever it was, and I talked
8:39
Speaker 2: about it on the air, and I just thought, this
8:40
Speaker 2: is great. And I don't know that they were even
8:41
Speaker 2: saying that they believed it. They were just saying, hey,
8:43
Speaker 2: this is what you know people are saying online. And
8:47
Speaker 2: I don't give that sort of stuff oxygen typically, but I,
8:50
Speaker 2: you know, heard them out somebody that I care about,
8:52
Speaker 2: dear friend, let them speak. I don't have to really
8:55
Speaker 2: get caught up in it. And then elements of all
8:58
Speaker 2: of that, we're seeing some either truth or possibility of
9:04
Speaker 2: truth than it has. More Epstein stuff's coming out, the
9:08
Speaker 2: Pizzagate stuff, and even Bill Maher I think I saw
9:11
Speaker 2: where recently I didn't hear. He was on a podcast
9:13
Speaker 2: of some kind, and I guess he was saying that
9:16
Speaker 2: we owe the QAnon people apologies about Pizzagate, because some
9:20
Speaker 2: of that ended up being true. And some of that
9:25
Speaker 2: is what the q Andon people were talking about as
9:27
Speaker 2: they were talking about people eating babies or whatever. So
9:31
Speaker 2: the reality here is the conspiracies are not conspiracies once
9:37
Speaker 2: they become true. Once we find out, yes, Anthony Fauci
9:41
Speaker 2: was lying to us when he said, don't wear a mask.
9:45
Speaker 2: It's not going to help you, and that the reason
9:49
Speaker 2: he was telling us that was because he didn't want
9:51
Speaker 2: people buying up the hospital grade masks. And then like
9:54
Speaker 2: a month or two later he told us, hey, wear
9:56
Speaker 2: a mask. You gotta do it. Everybody has to wear
9:58
Speaker 2: a mask, stand six feet up. That's what the research says.
10:02
Speaker 2: And then we find out later, No, the mass weren't
10:04
Speaker 2: really doing anything if you were well, and the six
10:08
Speaker 2: foot thing they were just making up. They didn't know
10:10
Speaker 2: what to tell us things that we've been told after
10:13
Speaker 2: the fact. So when you're experiencing it and you can
10:17
Speaker 2: smell it's not right. There's a smell to this and
10:21
Speaker 2: it's not passing the smell test, and you're able to
10:26
Speaker 2: say eh anyway. So the thing I want to talk
10:31
Speaker 2: about is this video that the President shared or someone
10:37
Speaker 2: an intern or somebody shared on his truth social account
10:41
Speaker 2: that had a topic in it. It was about you know,
10:45
Speaker 2: the border, it was about something. It was some basic
10:50
Speaker 2: Trump campaign issue, and at the end of it was
10:55
Speaker 2: this clip of somebody had made and it was all
10:59
Speaker 2: these different different animals in Africa, like African animals. Trump
11:03
Speaker 2: was the lion, and if he's a rhino or an elephant,
11:10
Speaker 2: but the governor of Illinois Pritzker, some large obese animal.
11:20
Speaker 2: Just your usual suspects of people showing up in there.
11:23
Speaker 2: And yes, the Obamas were featured in there as chimps
11:27
Speaker 2: or monkeys or something. Not okay, whoever made it, you know,
11:33
Speaker 2: not okay? Right, nobody's ark, nobody's defending the video. But
11:38
Speaker 2: what happened according to the Trump campaign, and I think
11:42
Speaker 2: most people have accepted that this is what happened, is
11:45
Speaker 2: they did a screen grab, a video grab of the
11:50
Speaker 2: first thing that they were trying to share, and then
11:52
Speaker 2: as soon as it ended, the next video started, and
11:56
Speaker 2: it was just a little bit of it was on
11:57
Speaker 2: the end of it. That's my understanding of it. I
11:59
Speaker 2: didn't and watch it. I've seen the pictures. I understand
12:05
Speaker 2: why people would be upset. But let's run through this fact.
12:12
Speaker 2: If this were a different president, especially if it was
12:15
Speaker 2: a Democrat president, this would be brushed aside as, oh,
12:19
Speaker 2: can you believe that? Silliness? I can't believe that accident happened.
12:24
Speaker 2: Keep in mind there are still people who believe Donald
12:28
Speaker 2: Trump was making fun of a disabled reporter when he
12:34
Speaker 2: did his little thing, and even the reporter himself has
12:37
Speaker 2: said he does that about other people. It wasn't directed
12:40
Speaker 2: at me. He wasn't mocking me and my disability. So
12:46
Speaker 2: I didn't hear that reporter say it. That's what's been reported.
12:50
Speaker 2: I'll either way. I've seen Trump do that noise and
12:53
Speaker 2: that gesture about people that did not have disabilities. I
12:56
Speaker 2: do not believe he was doing that. Barack Obama, I'm
13:00
Speaker 2: definitely went on the Tonight Show and made fun of
13:03
Speaker 2: people who compete in the Special Olympics. He said his
13:06
Speaker 2: bowling is so bad that he looks like he's in
13:09
Speaker 2: the Special Olympics. I had friends that defended it. Ah,
13:13
Speaker 2: it's a joke anybody would make. It's not okay. It's
13:18
Speaker 2: not an okay joke to make. My argument was always
13:22
Speaker 2: why is he on the Tonight Show? If he's a
13:24
Speaker 2: sitting president of the United States, Like, what are you
13:26
Speaker 2: doing on a talk show? You won go do the job.
13:29
Speaker 2: Then you're not in a position where you can accidentally
13:31
Speaker 2: do it. But we know that's not how politics works anymore,
13:34
Speaker 2: and Trump is no exception to that. He's doing interviews.
13:38
Speaker 2: At times, he works harder than any president we've ever
13:41
Speaker 2: had as far as his days and twenty hour days
13:44
Speaker 2: or whatever he does according to reports. I always had
13:49
Speaker 2: to say that because that's where the kind of journalist
13:51
Speaker 2: comes in with me, because I don't know for a fact,
13:54
Speaker 2: but my point I've heard firsthand from family, like his family,
13:59
Speaker 2: but I I don't know, like that could just be
14:01
Speaker 2: a message that they're putting out. But you know, I've
14:03
Speaker 2: interviewed two of the Trump kids. But my point is,
14:09
Speaker 2: this is what we've been told, and if it happened
14:13
Speaker 2: to a Democrat, we wouldn't be talking about it. And
14:17
Speaker 2: then the next thing that's happened on top of this
14:19
Speaker 2: now is that we have like the press or politicians
14:24
Speaker 2: or whoever, saying, don't you think that Donald Trump should
14:26
Speaker 2: apologize for it? And it's not even that he's being asked,
14:32
Speaker 2: it's everyone else. It's everyone else. Speaker of the House,
14:36
Speaker 2: Mike Johnson's getting asked it over and over again. Oh,
14:38
Speaker 2: do you think he should apologize? In a normal world,
14:43
Speaker 2: in a normal society that functions the way society should,
14:47
Speaker 2: he could apologize. He could, because he's explained it. I
14:51
Speaker 2: didn't do it someone else did it. We took it
14:53
Speaker 2: down immediately when we found out it was there. This
14:56
Speaker 2: is what happened. Let's focus on the message at the
15:00
Speaker 2: beginning of it. And people wanted to hear an apology.
15:05
Speaker 2: Trump not above apologizing for things. The problem is they
15:10
Speaker 2: don't let him apologize. He's not allowed to apologize if
15:15
Speaker 2: Donald Trump apologizes for something or disassociates himself from something,
15:19
Speaker 2: which is really what he's had to do more than
15:21
Speaker 2: anything else. Would you disassociate yourself from the Proud Boys
15:25
Speaker 2: and white nationalists? Yes, I'm not affiliated with white nationalists
15:29
Speaker 2: in any way. And then the next day, would you
15:33
Speaker 2: disassociate yourself from white nationalists? Yes, I've already done that.
15:39
Speaker 2: Next question, no, no, But would you we want to hear
15:41
Speaker 2: you say it today. Would you see there's a game
15:44
Speaker 2: that's played with the repetition. You keep asking him, would
15:48
Speaker 2: you disassociate yourself with white nationalists in it to give
15:52
Speaker 2: the suggestion that he's affiliated with them, And they want
15:57
Speaker 2: to make sure that as many people as possible hear
15:59
Speaker 2: it and think, well, wow, he must be really in
16:02
Speaker 2: bed with these people. And there's people that believe it,
16:05
Speaker 2: and it helps that foundation for fascist white nationalist just
16:12
Speaker 2: they're trying to build a narrative. And it's not just
16:16
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. Think about Kevin Hart, who his life dream
16:19
Speaker 2: was to host the Oscars. He made some jokes years
16:24
Speaker 2: ago that came back to haunt him, and they said,
16:27
Speaker 2: how can he be the host of the oscars if
16:31
Speaker 2: he made those jokes? And Kevin Hart then had an
16:36
Speaker 2: opportunity to say, I've already apologized for those jokes. It's
16:39
Speaker 2: a long time ago. I've grown as a person. I
16:42
Speaker 2: don't make those kinds of jokes anymore. And I've already apologized,
16:47
Speaker 2: and you know, excited about moving on some version of that.
16:53
Speaker 2: And people said, well, you need to apologize again, and
16:56
Speaker 2: he said, I'm not going to apologize again for something
16:57
Speaker 2: I've already apologized for. Somebody didn't want Kevin Hart to
17:02
Speaker 2: host the Oscars. That's the real message that comes away
17:05
Speaker 2: with it. It's not about whether or not he apologized.
17:09
Speaker 2: It's about there was never going to be an end
17:11
Speaker 2: to it, or at least making sure that he's ready
17:14
Speaker 2: to kiss the ring. And that's what the expectation is.
17:19
Speaker 2: Did someone make a monumental mistake at the Trump campaign
17:22
Speaker 2: and social media account absolutely absolutely made that mistake, but
17:31
Speaker 2: it happens. I'll give you an example of something that
17:35
Speaker 2: I almost did, and I was I was horrified that
17:45
Speaker 2: I almost did it. And when I shared it with
17:49
Speaker 2: a good friend who worked for that particular radio station,
17:52
Speaker 2: all he did was say that would have been true,
17:54
Speaker 2: and he laughed and walked away. So at the time,
17:59
Speaker 2: I was doing some digital content work for a number
18:02
Speaker 2: of stations. One of them happened to be what at
18:05
Speaker 2: the time, I don't know what they call it now.
18:08
Speaker 2: Back then we called it an adult urban radio station.
18:11
Speaker 2: Maybe they call it. I don't think they call it
18:14
Speaker 2: urban adult contemporary either. I don't know what they called it.
18:16
Speaker 2: They tried to eliminate the word urban from the vernacular.
18:19
Speaker 2: They don't like to say urban. But it was music
18:23
Speaker 2: for Black Americans, R and B music. Therefore, it was
18:31
Speaker 2: what we then called adult urban. And the tagline for
18:35
Speaker 2: the station was grown Folks Radio. That's what the tagline was.
18:40
Speaker 2: And I was doing some work on their website and
18:42
Speaker 2: their social media account, and you have to type in
18:44
Speaker 2: the tagline for the station on the website. And there
18:49
Speaker 2: are two keys that are very close to each other
18:52
Speaker 2: on the keyboard, and it's easy to have a typo
18:56
Speaker 2: and I accidentally typed a B instead of an R
19:00
Speaker 2: B instead of a G before that R. So as
19:05
Speaker 2: I was getting I was of course going back and
19:08
Speaker 2: scanning my work before I hit publish, and I realized
19:12
Speaker 2: I had typed Brown Folks Radio. And I called my
19:16
Speaker 2: good friend Edgar Champagne into the room and I said, Edgar,
19:19
Speaker 2: kamre look at what I almost did. And I was
19:23
Speaker 2: expecting a laugh at least he did laugh, but not
19:26
Speaker 2: before he said, well, that's what it is. And then he,
19:30
Speaker 2: you know, walked out of the room as he laughed
19:32
Speaker 2: and easily left the room. So it's the kind of
19:35
Speaker 2: thing that can happen. Is it forgivable? Certainly should someone
19:41
Speaker 2: have to apologize for the person from the social media
19:45
Speaker 2: account is the one who should apologize. And you can say, well,
19:49
Speaker 2: if the buck stops with Trump, that's never really the
19:52
Speaker 2: way it works, and they're never going to let him apologize.
19:54
Speaker 2: He'll be apologies. He would be apologizing for it really
19:59
Speaker 2: until the day he dies. Today's show brought to you

20:53
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
20:57

20:59
Speaker 2: in columb Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
21:03

Speaker 2: remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science
21:48
Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
21:53
Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
21:56
Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
22:02
Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
22:05
Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
22:09
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
22:13
Speaker 2: care of square in that away for you, and while
22:15
Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
22:18
Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
22:20
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
22:24
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
22:26
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
22:28
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
22:33
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
22:36
Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or
22:39
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
22:43
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
22:45
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
22:49
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
22:51
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
22:55
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
22:57
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
23:00
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
23:01
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
23:04
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
23:07
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
23:10
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
23:13
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
23:16
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five
23:19
Speaker 2: hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred
23:22
Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
23:27
Speaker 2: after the break. So apparently, at least among women, staying
23:40
Speaker 2: in is the new going out. A new survey of
23:44
Speaker 2: women twenty one and up found that hanging at home
23:48
Speaker 2: with all of your close friends now beats getting dressed
23:51
Speaker 2: up to go out, and comfortable is where it's at.
23:55
Speaker 2: Eighty six percent of those responding saying that the cozy
23:58
Speaker 2: factor is important to them, and that forty percent say
24:01
Speaker 2: that it's very important. This is relevant obviously as a
24:06
Speaker 2: story because we've got Valentine's Day coming up. A lot
24:10
Speaker 2: of women that this past weekend participated in this Gallantines thing, which,
24:15
Speaker 2: of course, was it Parks and rec or whoever kind
24:18
Speaker 2: of made that popular. I don't know one of those
24:20
Speaker 2: shows did. I think that's what started it, but I
24:22
Speaker 2: don't know. It's not important who started it. What's important
24:25
Speaker 2: is that it's a thing now and you have women
24:29
Speaker 2: that like to get together and you know, just hang out.
24:33
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter if you've got someone in your life, because
24:35
Speaker 2: you got your friends there to hang out with you.
24:38
Speaker 2: But this is an idea that you know, you can
24:41
Speaker 2: hang out with your friends at home not have to
24:44
Speaker 2: worry about all the drama of going out and getting ready.
24:48
Speaker 2: In other news, I've been doing. I've been enjoying this
24:53
Speaker 2: for a long time, a really really really long time,
24:58
Speaker 2: even when you know, I wasn't one of the I
25:00
Speaker 2: was like, boy, I gotta get out. I gotta get
25:03
Speaker 2: out and about all the time. I mean, occasionally you
25:05
Speaker 2: go out and hang out with your friends, but this
25:06
Speaker 2: whole idea of just hanging out at home, man, that
25:09
Speaker 2: sounds great. And why have all these people come over
25:12
Speaker 2: to your house when you can just be at home
25:14
Speaker 2: alone and comfortable. No, I'm kidding. I do love my friends,
25:17
Speaker 2: but you know, just this idea of going out all
25:22
Speaker 2: the drama that goes with that. So yeah, welcome to
25:24
Speaker 2: the club, ladies. All the things that for me that
25:29
Speaker 2: like my Samba Adida shoes were something that I could
25:34
Speaker 2: just have my anytime I needed them. They were readily available,
25:38
Speaker 2: might be a little hard to find them, only because
25:40
Speaker 2: not everybody was selling them. And then suddenly some influencer
25:44
Speaker 2: somewhere decided that the exact shoes that I've been buying
25:47
Speaker 2: and wearing for years became the new trendy shoe and
25:51
Speaker 2: it's hard to find them, so thanks a lot, and
25:54
Speaker 2: they're also way more expensive now. So, hey, do you
25:58
Speaker 2: have a friend who constantly we ask super simple questions
26:01
Speaker 2: they could easily look up for themselves, things like how
26:06
Speaker 2: long do you microwave popcorn? What time is the party?
26:11
Speaker 2: And I assume that there's an invitation involved if they're
26:13
Speaker 2: asking that those kinds of questions, well, this is the
26:18
Speaker 2: term for this has now become a finger princess. So
26:21
Speaker 2: instead of them basically scrolling up in a group chat
26:25
Speaker 2: to look when the party is or you know, actually
26:28
Speaker 2: just typing in you know, how long do you microwave popcorn?
26:32
Speaker 2: They let everybody else do the heavy work for them
26:35
Speaker 2: when it comes to, you know, looking things up. And
26:39
Speaker 2: it comes from Korea. Pokes fun at people whose fingers
26:42
Speaker 2: are apparently too precious to type, that person who relies
26:47
Speaker 2: on everyone else to do the work for them. And
26:49
Speaker 2: even though the information is I mean, we carry computers
26:53
Speaker 2: in our pockets, so it's easily available. By the way,
26:57
Speaker 2: your cell phone, unless you've got a flip phone. Your
27:00
Speaker 2: cell phone, even the flip phone, maybe has more computing
27:04
Speaker 2: power than the computers that they use to take astronauts
27:07
Speaker 2: to the moon. Think about that anytime you're going, well,
27:10
Speaker 2: I don't know, I gotta figure out who was in
27:12
Speaker 2: that one movie that time. It's easy And in many
27:16
Speaker 2: cases you just speak to your phone and it'll answer
27:18
Speaker 2: the question for you. You don't even have to use
27:21
Speaker 2: your fingers. According to a new study, being out of
27:24
Speaker 2: shape can make bad days feel much worse. Researchers found
27:28
Speaker 2: that people with lower fitness levels were seven hundred and
27:30
Speaker 2: seventy five percent more likely to spike into high anxiety
27:35
Speaker 2: when something stressful happens compared to people who are more fit.
27:39
Speaker 2: And it wasn't just about anxiety. A less fit group
27:42
Speaker 2: also got angrier faster. Apparently, fitness works kind of like
27:47
Speaker 2: an emotional armor. It helps you stay stronger when life
27:50
Speaker 2: throws annoying things at you. The good news is regular
27:52
Speaker 2: aerobic exercise can help calm your reactions and make stress
27:58
Speaker 2: easier for you to hand. So think about that. Keep
28:02
Speaker 2: that in mind. Americans set to spend a record two
28:05
Speaker 2: point one billion dollars on Valentine's gifts this year, and
28:10
Speaker 2: it's not just for their partners or family members. More
28:13
Speaker 2: and more they're spoiling their pets too. In fact, people
28:18
Speaker 2: are now more likely to buy a Valentine's gift for
28:21
Speaker 2: their dog or cat than a friend or coworker. About
28:25
Speaker 2: a decade ago, only one in five people bought Valentine's
28:28
Speaker 2: treats for their pets. This year, they're saying it's more
28:31
Speaker 2: like one in three, and the amount they're spending is
28:35
Speaker 2: tripled with options of getting more creative like toy chocolate
28:39
Speaker 2: boxes for dogs, candy heart plushies for cats, Cupid cup
28:44
Speaker 2: toy that has you know, little feathered friends in it.
28:47
Speaker 2: The National Retail Federation says thirty five percent of pet
28:50
Speaker 2: owners say that they will get their fur babies of
28:53
Speaker 2: Valentine's Gift this year. Know a lot of people who've
28:58
Speaker 2: been doing it for a while, and I think now
29:01
Speaker 2: that they have children in their lives, maybe not so much.
29:04
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think they're going to stop. I
29:06
Speaker 2: just don't know that they're going to be in this group.
29:07
Speaker 2: It's spending more this year. That'll do it for this
29:11
Speaker 2: Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons.
