  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the Wes
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carroll Morning Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, 30th and final day of September. I'm Wes.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Thanks for joining me. It's October Eve. Ready to make
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: that transition into the second of the Burr Months. September
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: was not truly a Burr Month overall. We've had a
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: little bit of some cooler weather in like the early
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: morning and the evening, but like during the day, it's
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: still pretty warm. You know, this is one of those
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: challenging parts of the year for, for me personally, because, uh,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I like, uh, I believe me, I'm glad that the
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: air conditioning is getting a break. The So I'm appreciative
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: of that. It's just a strange period to me when–
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: or an uncomfortable, slightly uncomfortable. And I realize when we
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: look at priorities and things, this is not a big deal.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: But I like when there is at least some sort
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: of air moving in the house. So I have to–
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: basically run the the fan for the the heating and
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: air system and just get just to get air moving
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: in the house because you get to that temperature where
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the ac is not coming on and in the house
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: because it's it's just not getting hot enough which is
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: great that part's great because you don't want the ac
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: it's been running enough it's it's earned a little break
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: i'm tired boss it's earned that But you just want
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: some air moving. And I know having fans around the
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: house works, but it's kind of hard like in a
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: studio like this. I don't want the fan blowing directly
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: on the microphone or in the general direction of it.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: So anyway, that's a small thing to complain about considering
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the break in the power bill. And then we'll be
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: right into the dry heat of running the heater all
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the time soon enough. So I'm enjoying the outside temperature.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: This is the inside is a little awkward because it
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: just doesn't have to figure all that out in here.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: But at the moment, it's a little cool in here
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: this morning. So that's nice. I don't have to worry.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I just want some air moving and don't want to
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: have to run a fan. But again, that's a very
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: mild thing to complain about. So we're about to roll
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: on into October, Burr month number two. And I think
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: it's appropriate that we're talking today about Bill Burr. And
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: this was something that happened or kind of became a
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: news story, I guess, over the weekend or maybe late
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: last week. And I didn't really get a chance to
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: talk about this yet. I had a chance, certainly, but
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I had other things I wanted to talk about. And
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: this is, if you haven't seen the interview, I guess
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: he did an interview with Rolling Stone and Bill Burr,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: if you're going, I don't know that name, comedian, also actor.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: He was in Breaking Bad. He's been in The Mandalorian.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: He's one of those comedians that early on, I really
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: liked him a lot. I thought his comedy, and I
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: still think he's pretty funny, but he's he's drifted a
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: bit at where he's going. And I think initially he
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: kind of can, and look, I think he's talented. He's
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: just becoming less and less of my kind of comic.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: How about that? Is that a better way to put it?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: And that happens sometimes because, you know, Dave Chappelle can
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: do some things and be, you know, people love Dave Chappelle.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, like he, he really
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: upsets a lot of people on the left because he
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: makes some jokes and They say that make him transphobic.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I think some of what they called him transphobic for,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: he was just pointing out things I think that most
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: people kind of are observing and seeing, and they go, well,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: he's transphobic, because you say that they're afraid of or
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: they're anti a group when they just say something that
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: doesn't go with what they've decided is the narrative. And
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: then all of a sudden you got him making jokes
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: about Charlie Kirk and you go, well, now you lost me.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: It's just not funny. And a lot of comedy now because...
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Let's be honest about what comedy does. It's supposed to
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: make us laugh. Really good comedy makes us laugh and
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: also gives us an opportunity to think. It's an art form.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: So if it's making you laugh and it's making you think, then...
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: you know, there is value in it as an art form.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: If the purpose though is solely just, we're going to, uh,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: you know, do talking points or do agenda driven comedy,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: or it feels like you're kind of getting notes from,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: you know, a politician, here's what you should talk about. And,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you know, that was the thing with Jimmy Kimmel for
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: a while. And for this, all this conversation for people
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: to sit back and say, you know, I can't believe
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: that people aren't just embracing Jimmy Kimmel and supporting him
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: and everything that's happened and saying that he's a hack
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: for the left. I mean, there was literally a point
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: where there were accusations. I don't know if it ended
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: up being true or not, would not have surprised me,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: but that he was getting kind of talking points from
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: people like Chuck Schumer through, I guess, Amy Schumer and
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that relationship there between those two. So I don't know.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I do know that we've had a situation during the
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Biden presidency where they felt like people were being not
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: supportive enough of him as the president. And they called
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: in people like producers of these TV shows and news
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: shows and comedy shows. And they laid down the law
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: with them and were like, you need to support him more.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: So you can't tell me that there's not elements of
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: this that are out there and that exist. Because when
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you're calling to the carpet, the head of a news agency,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: and telling them they're not supportive enough of the president,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: that's a problem. That's not a true representation of what
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: our press should be. And you can't say that there's
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: not a valid complaint when someone says, for the purposes
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: of your FCC license, you're not supposed to be just
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: shoving propaganda down people's throats. And when a comedian crosses
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: into that area where it feels like they're just shoving
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: propaganda down people's throats, then that's when for me it's like,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: you know, that's when it's crossing that line of trying
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: to make people think and when it's specifically trying to
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: shape the political spectrum. That's where I have issues with it.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: And it's not to say that they should be silenced.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: It's not to say that they should be told they
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: can't work anymore. I'm not about canceling a comedian because
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: they say something I disagree with. I just think that
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: they need to be called out when they do things
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: like make a joke at the expense of Charlie Kirk.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: And this happened with one of the recent roasts where
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: it was like, we're going to make jokes about Charlie Kirk. Anyway,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: and from people that had kind of been seen as
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: supportive of the right, but they were still making jokes
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: about Charlie Kirk and his death. So back to Bill Burr,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I used to find him really funny. I still think
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: some of what he says is funny. He's kind of
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: doing like, it's a little bit of a Dennis Leary
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: bit that he's kind of doing, which, you know, Dennis
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Leary kind of got that whole routine from Bill Hicks.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: So it kind of feels like that kind of, tree
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: and I'm not calling them at a direct ripoff of
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Dennis Leary, but it just, there feels to be elements
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: of that there. Um, which is fine. It's just, you know,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: like inspiration. It's like a coaching tree. You know, you,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: you go back to Bill Parcells and then you get
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to Nick Saban and Bill Belichick and, you know, they're
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: kind of branches of, of that tree in the coaching world.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: And then there's guys that those guys influence Kirby smart.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: It kind of comes off of that. Bill Parcells tree, if.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: You go back.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Anyway, Bill Burr did his interview with Rolling Stone, and
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: he made some comments about the health care CEOs. This
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: is a clip from this particular interview with Rolling Stone,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: and listen to what he's got to say about health
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: care and health care CEOs.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: You know, this whole thing that, you know, we live
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: in a world where like, if somebody tells their version
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: of the truth of what's going on, and especially if
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: it is true, like they have to like, you know,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: it's like they're trying to escape Russia in the 80s.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: It's insane.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: And it's like, I thought this was like, this is
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: an American company, what's going on here? And they all
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: seem to function like the CIA, which is really sort
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: of like, indicative of that you're kind of doing something wrong.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you look at all of this stuff,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: like the response to the Luigi thing was not to
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: be like, well, hey, maybe we need to look at
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: what we're doing. If what we're doing makes some crazy
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: person do this, their response was to take their faces
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: off of the internet and get security. It's like, you
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: don't think you need to examine? You know what I mean?
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: It's like, you're not the president. You're just the CEO
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: of a business, right?
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, so and then the guy from Rolling Stone is
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: just giggling along with it like this is some kind
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: of profound point that's being made. So let's talk about this.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Is our healthcare system broken in a lot of ways?
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with that. Was it made
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: better or worse with Obamacare? Mostly worse. And There certainly
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: were elements of it that you would go, well, this
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: made it a little bit better. You know, the pre-existing
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: condition thing was, I think, important. But for the most part,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: the cost of health care went up. Premiums went up.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Actually getting treatment and care went up for most people.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: We pay something like four times more than what we
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: were paying for premiums before. We pay almost, on top
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: of that, almost four times more, I think four times, yeah, probably.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I think our co-pays have gone up when we actually
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: go to the doctor. So that's certainly not better. I
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: had to lose some doctors along the way, had to
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: lose some care facilities that you would say, this is
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: where I would like to go. All those things happened.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: All things that we were told will not happen by
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Obama when he was president. And telling us, no, no, no,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: this is not going to change things. Everything's going to
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: be exactly the way it was. It just means everybody's
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: going to have care. And everybody still doesn't have care because, honestly,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of people don't want to put their money
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: into health care. Either they don't have it or they
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: just don't feel like it's a priority. They'd rather spend
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: it on something else. They'd rather spend it on having
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: food delivered to their house or whatever it is. For
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: some people, that's what it is. It's certainly not everybody.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: I'm just giving an example of one of the industries
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: that has grown in the midst of all of this.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: So if you can have McDonald's delivered to your house
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: by somebody and you don't even have to get up
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: from the chair versus putting some money towards health insurance.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: All right. So Bill Burr basically says these people, these
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: health care companies are doing bad things. And they're really
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: quiet about it. And it's like the CIA about the
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: way that they do business. Look, any of that stuff
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: we can talk about. That's not the issue here in
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: this conversation. The issue is this justification in someone shoots
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: and kills someone who is the CEO of a healthcare company.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: He shoots the guy and allegedly... because I guess he's
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: still on trial or whatever, even though there's been some
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: confession stuff and all these deals and whatever. So he,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: according to the charges, decided that he did not have
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: any direct connection to UnitedHealthcare, but he felt like this
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: was someone that he could get close to, close enough to,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: to shoot him, according to the charges. So it wasn't
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: that he had a direct, like, this person denied my claims. Just,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I'm angry at healthcare executives in general. This is one
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I can get to, so I'm going to shoot and
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: kill him. This is not the behavior of someone who
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: is acting with any sort of rational thought. This is
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: a crazy person. This is someone who, and Bill Burr
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: used that term, a crazy person. And Uh, someone who
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: got there, uh, pulled the trigger, killed somebody in cold
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: blood that had nothing to do with, there was no
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: direct connection to them. It's not like, you know, this
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: is someone that they had a confrontation on the street
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: and the guy said, I'm not going to do your claims.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: And so he shot him out of anger. It's none
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: of that premeditated calculated. I'm going to kill somebody because
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I can. And to have people defend him or defend
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: any aspect of what he did is where we get
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: into the disgusting part of all this. And for Bill
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Burr to say it's the responsibility of the surviving health
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: care executives to rethink the way that they're running their
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: businesses because the way they're running their businesses is the
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: reason that someone got shot and killed. So it's victim blaming,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: first of all. And it's victim blaming of someone who
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: had nothing to do with anything to do with the
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: person who's been charged in the killing. And then it's
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: also this notion and idea that we have allowed to
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: run rampant on the left and we've allowed to run
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: rampant in social media is that terrorism is okay. You
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: should be able to scare people into changing their activities
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: and by threatening them, by killing them, by firing shots
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: at them, by shooting them in the ear, by doxing them,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: by showing up at their homes, by blocking roadways as
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: people are traveling, by physically dragging people outside of their
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: vehicles and beating them in the streets, by setting businesses
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: on fire, by setting cars on fire, by setting police
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: cars on fire, by attacking police officers by attacking federal
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: ICE agents in the street, by obstructing them from doing
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: their job and carrying out their job, by having politicians
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: say that if you see people that are against your
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: views at the gasoline stations and at restaurants, you should
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: get in their faces, by kicking people out of restaurants
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: because you don't agree with their politics. by angrily unfriending
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: and ghosting people in your lives because maybe they've expressed
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: that they support a politician you disagree with, by calling
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: people racist for voting for Donald Trump, for calling people
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: racist and homophobic for voting Republican. All of these things
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: are all part of the we're going to ostracize and
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: or kill you or threaten you until we get what
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: we want. How about that, Bill Burr? That's what you're
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: basically defending by saying, well, why haven't they changed their practices?
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Because you shouldn't be allowed to change someone's practices by
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: threatening them or by killing them or by publicly shaming them.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: That's not the reason for people to change their practices.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: In some weird Game of Thrones world where you walk
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: down the street naked and they say, shame, shame, shame,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: maybe in that world, That's where it's okay to do
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: that or to try to do that. But that's not
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: how it works here. And if you think that someone
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: should be able to threaten you into changing the way
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: that you do business, then what happens when a comedian
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: that people don't like what they say gets injured or
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: hurt or shot? Do you get more security? I'm sure
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Bill Burr, with things that he's said over the years,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: probably has to have some people around him keeping him
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: safe at times. And I'm definitely not advocating anyone to
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: do anything to Bill Burr. But it must be convenient
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: and it must be nice to know that you can
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: say that and no one's going to do anything to
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: you because the people who do all the threats and
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: people that dox you and show up at your house
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: and stand in your front yard or try to kill
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: you are part of the people that you're defending. You're
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: not being gutsy and bold by saying what you're saying
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: about the health care people. It'd be gutsy and bold
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: to say something about maybe the people who shouldn't be
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: trying to kill people or the people who are praising
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: and sending love letters in their underwear to a guy
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: in jail who's been accused of killing someone in cold blood.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: And this has kind of become the new thing. You
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: just defend the people that commit the crimes in the
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: name of, well, but they were justified because of what
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: they were doing. They're some kind of hero. It doesn't
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: make them a hero. It doesn't make them anything other
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: than a criminal. And there's better ways to make a
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: case for making changes to the health care industry. If
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: you don't kill somebody there, then you can get someone
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: like me who agrees. Yes, we have problems with it
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: and it needs to be fixed. But every time the
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: government tries to fix it, they make it worse. And
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: then who gets blamed? The people at the health care companies. Well,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: if you're like me and my family, you struggle probably
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: to come up with something different in the regular meal
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: rotation every single day. We plan out our week. We
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: try to figure out what we're going to have for
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: our meals in the evening. And we just struggle to
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: put that list together every week. Well, let me offer
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: this for you, something to add into the rotation. People
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: often say, I like to eat food like Indian food,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: but I don't know how to cook it myself. Well,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: enter the cumin club. And they're incredible, authentic Indian flavors
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: and Cumin Club's meal kits ready in just five minutes.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: You don't need cooking skills at all and you don't
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: need specific cooking skills to cook Indian food because that's
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: a whole different thing. I've cooked Indian food. I've followed
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Indian recipes. It's very time-consuming. You definitely can't do it
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: in just five minutes. The culinary journey through India that
• 20:00

  Speaker 2: they do with the Schwob School of Music from Columbus
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: State University called Music Under the Dome. It's unlike any
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia? I mean,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca-Cola Space Science Center.
• 22:10

• 22:20
  Speaker 2: get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Coca-Cola Space
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Science Center. Sometimes you get somewhere outside the city lights.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: You don't want any light interference, and you can do
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: that as well. Upcoming astronomy night events also on their website.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: It's CCSSC.org. As Sean Cruzan says, CharlieCharlieSamSamCharlie.org. I just remind
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: you that it stands for Coca-Cola Space Science Center. CCSSC.org.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial... or residential,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: for you. And while they're there, you can always ask
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: you need some repair work done to the outside door.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: door system. that you can put down and you can
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: come help. And they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: More West Carol Morning Show right after the break. Well,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: this is an interesting study. Apparently.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: There is this new study that was done that says
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: that maybe the ultimate management training program could be raising
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: a daughter. A new study found that male bosses who
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: become dads to girls, it turns out they end up
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: being more likely to hire women, promote women, and even
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: help close the pay gap. Researchers looked at workplace data
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: and found that after the birth of a first daughter,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: female hiring increased nearly 3%. while women working for those
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: managers saw promotions and earnings rise as well. A little
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: empathy going on here. The theory is that having a
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: daughter makes gender inequality more personal and easier to recognize,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: and no surprise, research found that companies didn't suffer any
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: drop in performance when more women were hired and promoted.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Anybody who thinks that was going to be the case
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: is silly anyway. So if you've got a boss who's
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: a proud girl dad... Science says he might just be
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: a little more tuned into workplace fairness. And yeah, I
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: think there's some empathy there. I think that's probably, you know,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: seeing the world through their daughter's eyes and trying to
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: make things better for women. That all makes sense. If
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: you've been thinking about changing your hair up, ladies, apparently
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: 2026 is all about the Bixie. It's a mix up
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: of the Bob and Pixie cut. according to Stylist, and
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: it's become one of the most requested haircuts of 2026.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: So think back to the 90s, Winona Ryder, Cameron Diaz,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Meg Ryan, that short kind of bob-pixie-cut combo, and they
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: say now it's made a huge comeback. Experts say the
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Bixie works with a wide range of hairstyles, hair types
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: to style. especially straight and wavy hair, while adding volume
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: and texture for people with finer hair. Even better, it
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: grows out nicely. Fewer trips to the salon if you're
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: watching the budget. So keep that in mind, ladies. After
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: years of dating apps ghosting situationships and people asking AI
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: what to text, experts say that the rules of dating
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: have changed. And the biggest advice they have is to relax.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: First date isn't a marriage audition. It's just a chance
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: to see if you enjoy being around someone. Dating coaches
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: recommend treating the date like a conversation instead of a
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: job interview, leaving ex-talk at home, offering a genuine compliment,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: focusing less on whether they like you and more on
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: whether you like them. They also say a little flirting
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: goes a long way and that chemistry isn't always instant.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: So stop putting so much pressure on yourself on that
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: first date and just have fun getting to know someone new.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: So that's nice. That's good. So how about this? New
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: talker research found that nearly half of office workers are
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: career cushioning. So they're basically quietly exploring other career options
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: just in case their current job does not, in fact,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: work out. In fact, 77% say they've already started preparing
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: for their potential plan B. The biggest motivation is doing
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: work they actually enjoy, having less stressful lifestyles, simply being
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: ready if they happen to lose their current job. So
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: even though many workers surveyed said they feel pretty secure
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: where they are, They also say their jobs have changed
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: dramatically in the last few years thanks to things like
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: AI and new technology, shifting responsibilities, as well as layoffs.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Bottom line, workers aren't necessarily looking to quit, but they're
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: making sure they have a parachute packed just in case. So,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: there you go. The most romantic city in America you
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: might think would be a beach destination or somewhere in
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: the mountains. But researchers that work with the dating platform
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Agilis say that it's actually New York City. They've analyzed
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: online searches for date ideas, romantic restaurants, proposal spots, couples activities,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: 30 major cities. And they adjust for population, and New
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: York ended up topping the list. And it suggests residents
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: are thinking about romance more than anyone else. The city
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: offers plenty of options for couples, walks through Central Park,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: and along the High Line, the rooftop views, Broadway shows,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: free operas, and that's another conversation. Sunset cruises on the Hudson.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Researchers say that search activity doesn't prove a city is
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: more romantic, but it does reveal where people are looking
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: for love-inspired experiences. So the top 10, yeah, New York,
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: then Nashville, Austin, Chicago, Jacksonville, Florida, Denver, Charlotte, San Antonio,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Fort Worth, and Columbus. Ohio, not Georgia. That'll do it
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: for this Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks to our
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch you
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: back here tomorrow morning.
