- 0:02Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:06Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show Tuesday morning, Fifth day of May. Sinko
- 0:15Speaker 1: demayo if you will, I'm Wes. Thanks for joining me.
- 0:18Speaker 2: I don't want to get political or anything with Cinco
- 0:21Speaker 2: de Mayo, so I want to make this political. But
- 0:27Speaker 2: it's the fifth of May. That's what I want to do.
- 0:32Speaker 2: We're here together on this day. And some say Revenge
- 0:36Speaker 2: of the Fifth. Yesterday was May the fourth. Revenge of
- 0:39Speaker 2: the fifth. If you want to keep the Star Wars
- 0:41Speaker 2: Day fund going on, I finished yesterday part of my
- 0:44Speaker 2: Star Wars Day celebration, the series A Shadow Lord Mall
- 0:48Speaker 2: Shadow Lord, the animated series. And I told you yesterday
- 0:52Speaker 2: you should not be ashamed about enjoying an animated Star
- 0:57Speaker 2: Wars series. Okay, these are not the old you know,
- 1:02Speaker 2: you're not watching like Scooby Doo. You know, you're not
- 1:05Speaker 2: watching the Smurfs or you know one of those cars.
- 1:08Speaker 2: You're watching cartoons, animation that's made, you know, like older people.
- 1:15Speaker 2: I mean, yes, they have kids in mind, but they
- 1:19Speaker 2: also have you in mind. And when they're making cartoons
- 1:22Speaker 2: that they have you know, adult like middle aged. I'm
- 1:26Speaker 2: at that age maybe a little older than me. The
- 1:28Speaker 2: people that you know went to see Star Wars in
- 1:31Speaker 2: the theater when it first came out. I was I
- 1:34Speaker 2: was a little young for all that, but I you know,
- 1:39Speaker 2: definitely went to see Empire Strikes Back at the theater
- 1:43Speaker 2: and Return of the Jedi at the theater. Eventually, I
- 1:47Speaker 2: did see, you know, the original Star Wars in the
- 1:50Speaker 2: theater when it was re released. I know it's not
- 1:52Speaker 2: the same exact movie, but you get the idea and
- 1:56Speaker 2: all the rest I've seen in the theaters. But people
- 2:00Speaker 2: my age and a little older than me, when they
- 2:02Speaker 2: make these these Star Wars cartoons, they're keeping us in mind.
- 2:06Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. You do not be ashamed. It's okay.
- 2:08Speaker 2: You can watch it. You know you don't. This isn't
- 2:11Speaker 2: one of those everything there's a season things. It's Star Wars.
- 2:15Speaker 2: There's a season for it. And if it's better than
- 2:17Speaker 2: some of the TV Star Wars that they've made, the
- 2:20Speaker 2: TV shows or movies, and it's better and this, I
- 2:22Speaker 2: think this mall series is as good as anything we've
- 2:25Speaker 2: seen in Star Wars for a while. It's up there
- 2:28Speaker 2: with and Or. It may not be and and Or.
- 2:30Speaker 2: It is fantastic. It's up there with and Or, but anyway,
- 2:33Speaker 2: don't be ashamed. It's okay. I finished that yesterday and
- 2:36Speaker 2: it's fantastic. Okay, it absolutely delivers all the way to
- 2:41Speaker 2: the end, and no spoilers. I don't want to do that,
- 2:46Speaker 2: but give people some time to watch it. But it's
- 2:49Speaker 2: some of the animation has given us these fantastic Lightsaber
- 2:53Speaker 2: duels and Star Wars and this one paid off with
- 2:56Speaker 2: that completely. So that's all. So there was that that
- 3:01Speaker 2: was in today is you can do more Star Wars Day,
- 3:03Speaker 2: or you can go have Margarita's and have them again tomorrow.
- 3:06Speaker 2: It's always dangerous when Taco Tuesday and Sinko to Mayo
- 3:11Speaker 2: sync up. It happens sometimes, and this is one of
- 3:14Speaker 2: those years where it's happened. And just be careful out there.
- 3:18Speaker 2: You know, it's like Saint Patrick's Day on weekend. You
- 3:20Speaker 2: gotta be careful. It's a week it's a weekday and
- 3:23Speaker 2: Sinko to Mayo followed by the Margarita night Wednesdays, it
- 3:29Speaker 2: can be dangerous. And you probably were, you know, enjoying
- 3:31Speaker 2: beverages to celebrate Star Wars Day yesterday. Maybe I don't know.
- 3:35Speaker 2: I mean, I didn't, but maybe you were, so I
- 3:38Speaker 2: hope you. Hope you if you celebrate it. I hope
- 3:41Speaker 2: you had a great Star Wars day. I hate when
- 3:42Speaker 2: people say that if you celebrate it. This is a
- 3:44Speaker 2: case where I think it's okay. I hate when people say, like,
- 3:48Speaker 2: merry Christmas, if you celebrate it, you can just say
- 3:51Speaker 2: Merry Christmas. It's okay. I promise it's okay. You don't
- 3:54Speaker 2: have to say if you celebrate it. You don't have
- 3:57Speaker 2: to not say it. It's up to you. I'm an
- 4:00Speaker 2: advocate for this individual freedoms, That's what I am. So
- 4:06Speaker 2: yesterday we had this news that came out and said,
- 4:09Speaker 2: oh my gosh, they've had a shooting at least in
- 4:14Speaker 2: the area somewhere near where the vice president was, and
- 4:18Speaker 2: that the Secret Service had to shoot this guy and
- 4:22Speaker 2: he had fired towards them. I guess he hit like
- 4:25Speaker 2: a kid. They had to shoot back. I don't know.
- 4:29Speaker 2: I know they said that they're going to get to
- 4:31Speaker 2: the bottom of why this guy was there and what
- 4:32Speaker 2: he was doing and what was going on. But it's
- 4:35Speaker 2: a scary moment. And of course if it involved did
- 4:39Speaker 2: they think it was the president's motorcade. Did they know
- 4:43Speaker 2: it was the vice president? Were they taking shots at him?
- 4:46Speaker 2: Were they even shooting at them? Was that any of
- 4:49Speaker 2: the intention and all that's going to play out in time,
- 4:53Speaker 2: But it's we're at that point where it's happening enough
- 4:55Speaker 2: that we certainly need to be concerned about it. It
- 4:59Speaker 2: certainly gets our ten. It saddens me a lot that
- 5:04Speaker 2: this continues to be a thing or potentially I don't know.
- 5:07Speaker 2: I know We've had multiple attempts on President Trump's life.
- 5:12Speaker 2: We know those they've been documented. We had a situation
- 5:15Speaker 2: this week where the alleged attempted assassin at the White
- 5:20Speaker 2: House correspondence dinner. The judge the accused attempted assassin went
- 5:28Speaker 2: in and the judge apologized to him, I don't it's
- 5:34Speaker 2: we're in this strange place with our judges. We're in
- 5:41Speaker 2: a stray and we have I talk about this sometimes
- 5:45Speaker 2: when it comes to elections and when it comes to
- 5:48Speaker 2: the jerrymandering, when it comes to this shift in population,
- 5:54Speaker 2: allowing people in the country to be counted in the
- 5:56Speaker 2: census and moving them into districts and moving them into
- 5:59Speaker 2: places where it's a sanctuary city, and there's really nothing
- 6:03Speaker 2: you can do about it. And we've talked about how
- 6:06Speaker 2: we've got these cities that basically will blow through as
- 6:10Speaker 2: much of their money to support those people, these states
- 6:13Speaker 2: that will blow through that money and then eventually ask
- 6:16Speaker 2: the federal government for money and go, we don't have
- 6:18Speaker 2: the money. We're going to collapse over here. You've got
- 6:20Speaker 2: to help us out. We've just seen the situation in
- 6:24Speaker 2: New York City very quickly implode, I think faster than
- 6:29Speaker 2: anyone could have ever imagined. They elect a communist to
- 6:32Speaker 2: be the mayor. He comes in, he talks about all
- 6:35Speaker 2: the things he's going to do, and how, oh, we're
- 6:37Speaker 2: going to take this money from rich people and we're
- 6:39Speaker 2: going to have plenty of money to give all all
- 6:41Speaker 2: the citizens, and you vote for me, and it's that time.
- 6:44Speaker 2: I'm going to buy your vote is with their money.
- 6:47Speaker 2: It's not what he said, but that's what's certainly implied.
- 6:50Speaker 2: And everybody said, well, we're going to see socialism do
- 6:53Speaker 2: what it does. It's going to collapse. Rich people are
- 6:55Speaker 2: going to move out, Wealthy people are going to take
- 6:57Speaker 2: jobs and their money and their taxes and go somewhere else.
- 7:01Speaker 2: That's happened, and New York is already the mayor is
- 7:06Speaker 2: already telling people, we have a budget crisis, we're having problems,
- 7:10Speaker 2: and some of the solutions that they're trying to come
- 7:13Speaker 2: up with aren't even legal or constitutional or anything, and
- 7:17Speaker 2: all of those things he's going to have to try
- 7:20Speaker 2: to deal with. No one could have imagined it would
- 7:22Speaker 2: happen this fast. We all knew it was going to happen.
- 7:25Speaker 2: It's an embarrassment for him, it's an embarrassment for everyone involved.
- 7:29Speaker 2: And they're going to try to figure it out, and
- 7:31Speaker 2: of course eventually they're going to have to start asking
- 7:33Speaker 2: I guess New York State and then the federal government
- 7:36Speaker 2: or whoever to help them out. But when you become
- 7:39Speaker 2: the mayor there and your intention certainly seems to be
- 7:43Speaker 2: to destroy the city. If you did it that fast, congratulations,
- 7:48Speaker 2: mission accomplished. And those poor people that couldn't figure out
- 7:53Speaker 2: that that's where it was going to happen, because that's
- 7:54Speaker 2: what always eventually happens. But you know, good for them,
- 7:58Speaker 2: that's what they voted for. And if it falls apart,
- 8:02Speaker 2: But all of those things sort of happen, and we say, well,
- 8:06Speaker 2: there's certain things democrats seem to be, you know, just
- 8:11Speaker 2: better at than what Republicans are doing. And this whole
- 8:14Speaker 2: idea of funneling money into states and places where these
- 8:22Speaker 2: judges can be appointed or elections where judges go in
- 8:26Speaker 2: and these far left judges get involved and they basically
- 8:29Speaker 2: dictate what's going to happen, so they interfere. They come
- 8:33Speaker 2: in and something gets passed and they say, not so fast,
- 8:37Speaker 2: President Trump, we're going to stop you from doing that.
- 8:39Speaker 2: Or you know, you're going to come in and have
- 8:40Speaker 2: an executive order and we're not going to let you
- 8:42Speaker 2: do it. And then the situation happened in Virginia where
- 8:45Speaker 2: you know, half of the state voted to let the
- 8:47Speaker 2: other have the other half of the states kind of
- 8:51Speaker 2: rights or their voting rights be taken away because they
- 8:54Speaker 2: were going to read district things temporarily after they had
- 8:57Speaker 2: just come up with this, you know, very fair and
- 8:59Speaker 2: reason way that the state would truly be a purple state.
- 9:02Speaker 2: And we did a whole show about this, and then
- 9:05Speaker 2: a more conservative judge says, wait a minute, you can't
- 9:08Speaker 2: do this, and people on the left lose their mind.
- 9:11Speaker 2: How dare you? These judges shouldn't be deciding things, these
- 9:16Speaker 2: judges that when the judges do what we want them
- 9:18Speaker 2: to do. Then they're great and they're just standing up
- 9:22Speaker 2: for the law. But when the Supreme Court says something
- 9:24Speaker 2: that we don't like, we have to attack them and say, well,
- 9:26Speaker 2: we need fifty people on the Supreme Court, and we
- 9:29Speaker 2: need to appoint all the rest of them. We need
- 9:32Speaker 2: to make sure that it's us who does that. And
- 9:35Speaker 2: then this is a case where you've got a federal
- 9:37Speaker 2: judge who is basically saying that Cole Allen, the thirty
- 9:43Speaker 2: one year old who is the accused attempted assassin of
- 9:48Speaker 2: President Trump at the White House correspondence dinner, he's apologized
- 9:52Speaker 2: for the way that they were he was treated in prison,
- 9:56Speaker 2: apologizing to him and that he was a fascinated and
- 10:00Speaker 2: disturbed by his treatment. Can you imagine that this is
- 10:05Speaker 2: Barack Obama and someone tried to assassinate him, and there
- 10:08Speaker 2: would be a judge that would say, I can't believe
- 10:11Speaker 2: these people were treating you the way they did in jail.
- 10:14Speaker 2: I can't believe your time in jail. You were placed
- 10:19Speaker 2: on suicide watch when you were imprisoned. You know a
- 10:24Speaker 2: guy who apparently by most accounts, seemed to have gone
- 10:28Speaker 2: into a situation thinking it was going to be a
- 10:30Speaker 2: suicide by cop or by secret service or by whoever.
- 10:34Speaker 2: I don't think it's unreasonable to think this guy probably
- 10:37Speaker 2: needed to be on some kind of a suicide watch,
- 10:40Speaker 2: and you want to find out what the reason is,
- 10:45Speaker 2: You want to know why he did what he did.
- 10:48Speaker 2: So basically, by this particular suicide watch situation, he was
- 10:56Speaker 2: in a safe cell, twenty four hour lockdown, no phone,
- 10:59Speaker 2: no visits from anyone other than his legal team, and
- 11:04Speaker 2: denied a copy of the Bible. So yeah, this judge
- 11:09Speaker 2: decided that an apology was necessary. And you know, getting
- 11:13Speaker 2: these judges in place that do this, and we're and
- 11:16Speaker 2: we sit back and we scratch our heads and we
- 11:18Speaker 2: wonder why these things keep happening. Why are people trying
- 11:21Speaker 2: to kill President Trump, the fascist Hitler esque Donald Trump?
- 11:26Speaker 2: Why are they trying to kill this guy? He's terrible,
- 11:29Speaker 2: He's the worst president ever, he's the worst human being ever,
- 11:32Speaker 2: and he's trying to destroy our country and democracy. Why
- 11:35Speaker 2: would people be trying to kill a guy like that?
- 11:38Speaker 2: That's what we seem to be hearing so much from
- 11:41Speaker 2: the left. Jasmine Crockett just recently basically was saying, we
- 11:45Speaker 2: know what is this guy doing that's making everybody want
- 11:48Speaker 2: to kill him. That's the defense. That's the defense basically
- 11:54Speaker 2: of like, you know, this guy can't be doing anything
- 11:56Speaker 2: good if everybody wants to kill him. I mean, give
- 12:00Speaker 2: me a break. That's that's the defense of all of
- 12:05Speaker 2: that hate and vitriol and you know, spitting when they
- 12:08Speaker 2: say his name and all that stuff. Like it's clearly
- 12:11Speaker 2: it's Trump's fault and it's not their fault. The rhetoric
- 12:14Speaker 2: is not causing any of this. It's it's got everything
- 12:17Speaker 2: to do with the fact that he's doing things that
- 12:20Speaker 2: they don't like and they and it's they, the American
- 12:25Speaker 2: people clearly don't want it. You know, he gets elected
- 12:29Speaker 2: in this what ultimately was an opportunity to say, this
- 12:36Speaker 2: is what the American people want, this is what needs
- 12:38Speaker 2: to happen, and we're going to push forward with it.
- 12:42Speaker 2: And you have these politicians that just can't accept the
- 12:45Speaker 2: fact that maybe that's what people wanted. We're starting to
- 12:48Speaker 2: see now maybe some of the polling concerning the midterms
- 12:52Speaker 2: isn't what everybody thought it was. It's really hard to
- 12:56Speaker 2: understand polling because sometimes it seems to be exactly right,
- 13:03Speaker 2: and sometimes it is way off, and lately it seems
- 13:08Speaker 2: like it has been more way off than even close
- 13:11Speaker 2: to right. And it's been a while in a presidential election.
- 13:17Speaker 2: I know, in some of the midterms, I think they
- 13:19Speaker 2: seem to have gotten a decent feel for where people are.
- 13:23Speaker 2: But I don't know. I can't say one way or
- 13:28Speaker 2: the other. And I told you I'm not very good
- 13:30Speaker 2: at doing this prediction thing yesterday. But it certainly seems
- 13:37Speaker 2: like the polling may not be what they think it is,
- 13:40Speaker 2: and it may not be very reflective of where things are.
- 13:43Speaker 2: I don't know if that's accurate. I certainly hope that
- 13:46Speaker 2: the polling is wrong. I do think that if there
- 13:50Speaker 2: are some things loose ends that get tied up, and
- 13:54Speaker 2: some of the things that Trump was working on prior
- 13:56Speaker 2: to feeling the need to go into Iran, if that's
- 14:00Speaker 2: situation is cleared up, there's certainly potential for things to
- 14:05Speaker 2: change still before November rolls around. But again, we'll see
- 14:10Speaker 2: and where things land on some of these maps that
- 14:12Speaker 2: may be getting some redistricting based on Supreme Court changes
- 14:16Speaker 2: and all of that. I don't know where that's all going,
- 14:20Speaker 2: but I can tell you this, Donald Trump is going
- 14:24Speaker 2: to continue to do what he's been doing, and the
- 14:27Speaker 2: Left is going to continue to call him the worst
- 14:28Speaker 2: person ever, and deep down secretly hope that he's killed.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Not all of them, but there's a lot of people
- 14:36Speaker 2: that in this country who still want him to die.
- 14:38Speaker 2: They want him to die a horrible, miserable death. That's
- 14:41Speaker 2: what they've been dreaming about. Someday when he actually does
- 14:46Speaker 2: pass away, which for the sake of everyone involved, you
- 14:51Speaker 2: would hope is long after he's done with his time
- 14:54Speaker 2: in the White House, and they're going to celebrate then too.
- 15:00Speaker 2: That's what they're going to do. That's where they're going
- 15:02Speaker 2: to be with it. They will have moved on to
- 15:03Speaker 2: someone else being the most evil person ever. That's what
- 15:07Speaker 2: they also do. We've gone through that a few times
- 15:11Speaker 2: with people. And I remember when they were calling Mint
- 15:14Speaker 2: Romney the most evil person ever, and they were looking
- 15:18Speaker 2: for things to say, and they were like, well, one
- 15:20Speaker 2: time he said he put a dog and a dog
- 15:21Speaker 2: crate on top of his car, and he made some
- 15:24Speaker 2: awkward comment about having folders full of women and what
- 15:27Speaker 2: he meant was names of women. But they just they
- 15:29Speaker 2: were looking, they were desperate for something with Mitt Romney
- 15:32Speaker 2: to say. That he was evil, but they did it anyway.
- 15:36Speaker 2: How dare he have a dog crate on top of
- 15:38Speaker 2: his car with a dog in it? So, yes, we
- 15:42Speaker 2: don't know exactly the full story on this particular shooting,
- 15:46Speaker 2: but again, as long as it is in any way
- 15:53Speaker 2: being anything other than completely and utterly discouraged and prosecuted
- 15:59Speaker 2: and have no judges apologizing for any of it, I
- 16:03Speaker 2: feel like it's there's more attempts to come, and we're
- 16:07Speaker 2: not going to be shocked, I don't think anymore. I
- 16:09Speaker 2: think the only shock now will be how close might
- 16:12Speaker 2: they be able to come? And that's really pathetic, isn't it.
- 16:16Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca
- 16:19Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and
- 16:24Speaker 2: future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of
- 16:29Speaker 2: all ages. I mean, they do it for school age kids,
- 16:33Speaker 2: as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center,
- 16:36Speaker 2: but they also do it through their university programs where
- 16:39Speaker 2: you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in
- 16:45Speaker 2: space and STEM fields are booming right now, and you
- 16:48Speaker 2: can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website.
- 16:53Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out some
- 16:59Speaker 2: of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that
- 17:04Speaker 2: they do with the Schwob School of Music from Columbus
- 17:06Speaker 2: State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any
- 17:10Speaker 2: concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one
- 17:13Speaker 2: of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
- 17:16Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
- 17:19Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
- 17:25Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
- 17:29Speaker 2: Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome.
- 17:32Speaker 2: Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check
- 17:37Speaker 2: out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you
- 17:39Speaker 2: can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola
- 17:43Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
- 17:47Speaker 2: city lights you don't want any light interference, and you
- 17:49Speaker 2: can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also
- 17:52Speaker 2: on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan says, Charlie,
- 17:57Speaker 2: Charlie SamSam Charlie or I just remind you that it
- 18:02Speaker 2: stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org.
- 18:08Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
- 18:11Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
- 18:15Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
- 18:20Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
- 18:23Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
- 18:27Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away
- 18:30Speaker 2: for you, and while they're there, you can always ask
- 18:32Speaker 2: them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
- 18:35Speaker 2: like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb
- 18:39Speaker 2: appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and
- 18:41Speaker 2: you need some repair work done to the outside door.
- 18:44Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
- 18:48Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got.
- 18:54Speaker 2: With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in
- 18:57Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
- 19:01Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
- 19:03Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
- 19:06Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
- 19:11Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
- 19:12Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 19:15Speaker 2: man cavid, you'd like to be able to open the
- 19:17Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
- 19:19Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
- 19:22Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
- 19:25Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
- 19:28Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
- 19:31Speaker 2: and they do those as well. Seven oh six thorty

- 19:42Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show right after the break, Mother's Day coming
- 19:53Speaker 2: up on Sunday. The National Retail Federation, the NRF. I
- 20:00Speaker 2: don't know that they really need to go buy an abbreviation.
- 20:03Speaker 2: You hear National Retail Federation, you go, I know what
- 20:06Speaker 2: that is. NRF sounds like a weird sports league that
- 20:10Speaker 2: we don't really know what it is. That's what it
- 20:13Speaker 2: sounds like. The National Rugby Football I don't know. I
- 20:17Speaker 2: don't know what NRF, but anyway, I guess they can
- 20:19Speaker 2: have their abbreviation if they want to. Well, the National
- 20:22Speaker 2: Retail Federation you know. The NRF says that Americans are
- 20:27Speaker 2: gearing up for record spending on mom this weekend. A
- 20:32Speaker 2: new survey show shoppers are expected to shell out thirty
- 20:35Speaker 2: eight billion dollars this year. My gosh, on each mom.
- 20:40Speaker 2: That seems like a lot. Oh, about two hundred and
- 20:43Speaker 2: eighty four dollars a person. Well, that's more like it.
- 20:45Speaker 2: Eighty four percent of adults plan to celebrate Mother's Day.
- 20:48Speaker 2: About seventy five percent say that they'll buy flowers. Nearly
- 20:52Speaker 2: as many will pick up cards. More than about sixty
- 20:56Speaker 2: percent plan to take mom out for a special outing
- 20:59Speaker 2: give cards. Jewelry high on the list, the NRF says, shot,
- 21:04Speaker 2: that's the National Retail Federation, by way. So shoppers are
- 21:08Speaker 2: looking for gifts that feel unique and create lasting memories. Well,
- 21:11Speaker 2: nothing does that more than a gift card for all
- 21:14Speaker 2: of those people. I mean, that is definitely unique and
- 21:21Speaker 2: creates a lasting memory. Hey, remember that time I gave
- 21:24Speaker 2: you a gift card that you can go pick something
- 21:27Speaker 2: out yourself. And I mean, I'm not dissing the gift cards.
- 21:31Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with gift cards. I'm just pointing out
- 21:34Speaker 2: that those two things don't seem to go together. But
- 21:37Speaker 2: a new survey proves a lot of families understand a
- 21:41Speaker 2: reality that mom in a family tends to be the glue.
- 21:45Speaker 2: More than half of the mom's surveys say their household
- 21:49Speaker 2: would fall apart in less than a day if they
- 21:51Speaker 2: weren't there running the show. From cleaning to cooking to chauffeurring, guidance, counseling,
- 22:00Speaker 2: event planning. Moms say they're juggling multiple full time roles
- 22:04Speaker 2: just to keep the daily life of the household moving,
- 22:08Speaker 2: and it takes a toll of mom's average just six
- 22:11Speaker 2: hours of sleep a night, with many stuck in what
- 22:13Speaker 2: they call survival mode. Nearly twenty percent of moms say
- 22:17Speaker 2: they have never had a day all to themselves or
- 22:21Speaker 2: can't remember the last time that they had won. That's
- 22:24Speaker 2: a separate problem, there isn't it. Researchers say. The real
- 22:28Speaker 2: stress isn't just the chores. It's the constant remembering, reminding,
- 22:32Speaker 2: and mental load that often goes unseen. Yeah, you know,
- 22:35Speaker 2: maybe that's a more thoughtful gift. You know, that's a
- 22:40Speaker 2: unique and lasting memory gift. If you give mom a
- 22:43Speaker 2: whole day to herself, anything at all you'd like to do, Mom,
- 22:49Speaker 2: you just go and have your day and here's a
- 22:51Speaker 2: gift card to go. No, I mean you could that
- 22:54Speaker 2: would be something that they could do with a gift card.
- 22:56Speaker 2: I guess so. A new survey shows act wear isn't
- 23:01Speaker 2: always the confidence booster it's cracked up to be. Researchers
- 23:04Speaker 2: for nearly one in three women say they feel self
- 23:06Speaker 2: conscious or at least half the time when they're wearing
- 23:10Speaker 2: workout clothes. The survey also found that active wear worn
- 23:14Speaker 2: for actual exercise less than half the time. It's now
- 23:17Speaker 2: everyday wear. While women who wear in shop for active
- 23:21Speaker 2: wear tend to exercise more, it doesn't translate into higher
- 23:25Speaker 2: self esteem or body image. Instead, the heavier exposure to
- 23:30Speaker 2: active wear through social media was linked to more body
- 23:33Speaker 2: comparison and pressure to look tone. Experts say the constant
- 23:37Speaker 2: visibility can add stress, reminding us that clothing alone does
- 23:42Speaker 2: not always equal confidence. A couple things. If you're wearing tight,
- 23:49Speaker 2: stretchy clothing out as clothes, yeah, you probably would feel
- 23:54Speaker 2: a little more vulnerable. I would think if I were
- 23:57Speaker 2: wearing like a medium or a small T shirt out
- 24:01Speaker 2: in public, I would be very self conscious. So I
- 24:05Speaker 2: would say, if you're self conscious about the clothes. You know,
- 24:12Speaker 2: maybe maybe you don't wear a mountain public. I mean,
- 24:15Speaker 2: I'm not telling you what to do. I'm just offering
- 24:17Speaker 2: that as a little bit of advice. If you're looking
- 24:20Speaker 2: confident in your clothes, and that's what you're looking for
- 24:23Speaker 2: and you want it to feel confident, you know, wear
- 24:27Speaker 2: something and own it. But if you're wearing something that's
- 24:30Speaker 2: you know, much too small, don't be shocked if you're
- 24:35Speaker 2: a little bit more self conscious. That's all. I thought
- 24:39Speaker 2: this was a really cool thing because well, it sort
- 24:44Speaker 2: of related to us, and then it doesn't relate to
- 24:47Speaker 2: us because there were some changes that happened over time.
- 24:50Speaker 2: But basically, there's some of these area codes around the
- 24:58Speaker 2: country that have kind of become status symbols, and some
- 25:01Speaker 2: of the kind of old school codes, like if you
- 25:04Speaker 2: lived in an area and you had a code and
- 25:05Speaker 2: you were able to keep it, then it's there's like
- 25:10Speaker 2: a certain just status to that area code. It has
- 25:14Speaker 2: a certain sound to it. So the two one two
- 25:18Speaker 2: in New York, for example, that is one that there
- 25:20Speaker 2: are people when they have to change phone numbers, they
- 25:22Speaker 2: get upset because they're going to lose that The three
- 25:24Speaker 2: one oh in California and UH West La or the
- 25:29Speaker 2: Beverly Hills area, four one five in San Francisco, six
- 25:33Speaker 2: one seven synonymous with Boston, the two O two in
- 25:36Speaker 2: d c UH and the four O four in Atlanta.
- 25:41Speaker 2: And you know, once upon a time it was more
- 25:44Speaker 2: than just Atlanta, wasn't it. But that all had to change,
- 25:49Speaker 2: UH and then some others two one three in Downtown
- 25:52Speaker 2: LA Manhattan specifically, UH in New York had that second
- 25:55Speaker 2: one of the six four six to go along with
- 25:58Speaker 2: the two one two. I think two point two has
- 26:00Speaker 2: a little bit more clout to it. But it's interesting
- 26:03Speaker 2: with the area codes and how they people want to
- 26:05Speaker 2: hang on to certain ones and they just have a
- 26:08Speaker 2: different meaning to it, like a camaraderie or a little
- 26:13Speaker 2: bit of tribalism there. If you're in one of those,
- 26:16Speaker 2: I wish we still had the old four h four
- 26:18Speaker 2: there for Atlanta. It'd be nice. That'll do it for
- 26:22Speaker 2: this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors
