Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, twentieth day of November. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:16
Speaker 2: joining me. Want to remind you we have the Nutcracker
0:22
Speaker 2: of Ballet, presented by the Columbus Ballet, coming up on
0:28
Speaker 2: December thirteenth and fourteenth at the Columbus River Center right
0:33
Speaker 2: here in beautiful Columbus, Georgia. And if you're gonna get
0:36
Speaker 2: your tickets, make sure to get them from one of
0:38
Speaker 2: the three places. Okay, First up, you can get them
0:42
Speaker 2: from the River Center box office. You can get them
0:45
Speaker 2: from Rivercenter dot org. And you can get them from
0:48
Speaker 2: the Columbus Ballet dot org. Anywhere else online. That you're
0:52
Speaker 2: getting your tickets, you run the risk of someone buying
0:55
Speaker 2: the tickets, marking them up and selling them to you.
0:58
Speaker 2: And you don't want to do that. Don't get ripped off.
1:01
Speaker 2: There are other options. Someone else could buy you a ticket.
1:04
Speaker 2: You could encourage them to do it, but you know
1:06
Speaker 2: they should do it from one of those three places.
1:09
Speaker 2: That's just a good safe rule of thumb when you're
1:11
Speaker 2: purchasing tickets for a show like the Nutcracker, and we're
1:15
Speaker 2: excited to welcome you back to the annual tradition that
1:18
Speaker 2: is the Nutcracker. I mean, what is Christmas without the Nutcracker?
1:23
Speaker 2: And I know maybe you're one of those people who's
1:25
Speaker 2: never seen the show and you're saying Christmas happens with
1:28
Speaker 2: or without the Nutcracker. I understand that there's two kinds
1:31
Speaker 2: of people. There's the kind of people who've been to
1:33
Speaker 2: the Nutcracker and they know what I'm talking about. And
1:35
Speaker 2: there's people who haven't been yet, and that's you. We're
1:37
Speaker 2: waiting on you to join us for the Nutcracker. We're
1:39
Speaker 2: going to put on fantastic show for you, and we
1:42
Speaker 2: hope that you will join us at the River Center
1:45
Speaker 2: for the Nutcracker. I am there, back in the role
1:48
Speaker 2: of the Mother Ginger, the biggest star in the whole show, literally,
1:53
Speaker 2: And if you don't know what I'm talking about, come see.
1:56
Speaker 2: You'll see me on stilts. You'll see me in a
1:57
Speaker 2: giant dress, and you'll see me dancing on stilts in
2:01
Speaker 2: a giant dress role I've been playing for the past
2:04
Speaker 2: seven years. Join us, won't you? For the Nutcracker Ballet
2:08
Speaker 2: at the River Center and beautiful. It's such a great facility.
2:13
Speaker 2: I don't know that we appreciate the River Center the
2:16
Speaker 2: way we should. We don't appreciate the Infantry Museum the
2:19
Speaker 2: way that we should. We don't appreciate the Coca Cola
2:21
Speaker 2: Space Science Center the way that we should. There's things
2:24
Speaker 2: in Columbus that I just don't think get the recognition
2:27
Speaker 2: that they deserve. What a great building in that River
2:31
Speaker 2: Center to see a show. All right, I want to
2:34
Speaker 2: just talk to you for a minute, But I know
2:36
Speaker 2: this Epstein thing is it's we just can't ever get
2:40
Speaker 2: to a point where it's just easy, can we. We
2:42
Speaker 2: can't just get to the point where the victims get
2:45
Speaker 2: what they're doing and the people that are in these
2:49
Speaker 2: files that have been accused of doing horrible things or
2:53
Speaker 2: connected to doing it, they get their due. Right, That's
2:56
Speaker 2: what we all want. I think we want this sense
2:59
Speaker 2: of justice, want this we need a sense of justice
3:03
Speaker 2: ties in a little bit with what we've been talking
3:05
Speaker 2: about this week, because you know, this whole notion of
3:11
Speaker 2: this mystery of why men, specifically white men, you know,
3:18
Speaker 2: really zeroed in on Trump and helped carry an election
3:22
Speaker 2: for him, and people have just been baffled. They don't
3:25
Speaker 2: understand that. And I tried to talk about this, and
3:29
Speaker 2: I feel like there's a little more to say, because
3:32
Speaker 2: I do think that it's I think this notion of
3:36
Speaker 2: people just being tired of you get told what you're
3:39
Speaker 2: supposed to think. And I was being very specific about
3:43
Speaker 2: that topic because it tied into something else from the news,
3:47
Speaker 2: and that's what I was trying to address. But there's
3:49
Speaker 2: more to it than that, because it's not just white
3:53
Speaker 2: men that are tired of being told what to think
3:54
Speaker 2: and what to do. I think everybody is feeling that
3:58
Speaker 2: to some degree. But I do think that was a
4:00
Speaker 2: big part of how things went in the election. I
4:03
Speaker 2: absolutely believe that to be the case. But I do
4:07
Speaker 2: know there's others that feel absolutely the same way. And
4:11
Speaker 2: part of all of this, I think is we have
4:15
Speaker 2: gone through this phase of you know, I go back
4:20
Speaker 2: and I talk about this. I'm fifty. I'm a gen
4:23
Speaker 2: X kid born in the seventies, primarily you know, raised
4:30
Speaker 2: in the eighties. That's my experience, and I can tell
4:34
Speaker 2: you that in the span of my lifetime, we went
4:37
Speaker 2: through this phase of you know, we were still working
4:41
Speaker 2: through a lot of things when it came to race,
4:44
Speaker 2: when it came to sexuality, there was a lot we
4:46
Speaker 2: were working through in my lifetime. And I think we
4:50
Speaker 2: got to a point after we were told so many
4:52
Speaker 2: times that we should stop looking at people based on
4:57
Speaker 2: the color of their skin or their background or you know,
5:01
Speaker 2: their sexuality. Just try to care about each other, treat
5:06
Speaker 2: everybody the same, and you know, try to be good people.
5:10
Speaker 2: That's that's what we were told repeatedly. And you know,
5:13
Speaker 2: and when the police pull you over, you know, you
5:16
Speaker 2: treat them with respect. They do their jobs, and then
5:20
Speaker 2: they get on with their their jobs, and then we
5:22
Speaker 2: get on with ours, our lives. And you know, that's
5:27
Speaker 2: that is the things that we were taught, Like my
5:29
Speaker 2: generation went through that we go through those things. Remember
5:32
Speaker 2: those things that everything I learned, everything I need to know,
5:34
Speaker 2: I learned in kindergarten. It was basic things. Be nice
5:38
Speaker 2: to each other, you know, treat women as equals. Get
5:41
Speaker 2: past this notion of generations before us that said, you know,
5:44
Speaker 2: women were somehow lesser than us, and that certain races
5:48
Speaker 2: were lesser than you were, Certain people, you know, because
5:52
Speaker 2: of their sexuality, were lesser and and and that's what
5:56
Speaker 2: our generation worked through in so many ways, and we
6:01
Speaker 2: worked hard at it, and we tried hard to treat
6:04
Speaker 2: everybody the same. And I know there's exceptions, but I
6:10
Speaker 2: think collectively, so many of us I don't have friends
6:15
Speaker 2: now that they themselves don't have friends that represent all groups.
6:21
Speaker 2: I don't have any. I don't have any friends that
6:25
Speaker 2: I could look to and say they don't know someone
6:29
Speaker 2: or that that has I mean, I know so many
6:34
Speaker 2: people that have people in their lives that have have trends,
6:38
Speaker 2: you know, family or friends or and they just say, look,
6:43
Speaker 2: I feel like dot dot. However, I'm going to treat
6:48
Speaker 2: them just like a person, because that's what I was
6:51
Speaker 2: raised to do. And most of my friends, it's certainly
6:56
Speaker 2: my children by this point, you know, people from all
7:00
Speaker 2: over the planet. You know, it's it's a it's a
7:04
Speaker 2: very diverse world that we're living in and we're all
7:08
Speaker 2: navigating it. But we get we've been told repeatedly that
7:13
Speaker 2: we're doing it wrong and that we're not thinking of
7:16
Speaker 2: all of these things in the right terms, and we
7:18
Speaker 2: shouldn't just treat people equally. We have to treat people
7:22
Speaker 2: better because somehow, and I'm going back to the white
7:25
Speaker 2: men thing, because this is what the question was addressed
7:28
Speaker 2: in the previous show. You're the oppressor. These are terms
7:35
Speaker 2: straight out of you know, Marxism. You're the oppressor. It's
7:39
Speaker 2: you know, the oppressed and the oppressor. And as white people,
7:42
Speaker 2: you're the you're the colonizer, you're the You're the one
7:45
Speaker 2: that's the problem. And a lot of people have just
7:49
Speaker 2: said enough, this is where we are. We don't want
7:52
Speaker 2: to be seen for something that we didn't do. We
7:56
Speaker 2: don't want to be recognized for something that happened generations ago.
8:01
Speaker 2: It's not fair. We believe in right and wrong. We
8:05
Speaker 2: believe when someone does something wrong, they should be punished.
8:09
Speaker 2: And it's the reality of it. But that's not what
8:13
Speaker 2: the world wants us to see. Right now. We have
8:15
Speaker 2: so many people trying to tell us that that's wrong.
8:18
Speaker 2: We're not doing it right. We should be you know,
8:20
Speaker 2: bowing down. We saw people in Congress, remember during Black
8:25
Speaker 2: Lives Matter, during those days, and they were you know,
8:28
Speaker 2: wearing African colors and kneeling and bowing down, and it's
8:33
Speaker 2: it's weird. These are weird things. Remember Drew Barrymore with
8:38
Speaker 2: a transwoman on her show, and she was, you know,
8:42
Speaker 2: bowing down and kissing his hands and feet or her
8:45
Speaker 2: hands and feet or whatever, and that's weird. That's weird,
8:51
Speaker 2: that's we collectively. And now I'm not just talking about
8:56
Speaker 2: white men, but you know white men, that's that's the
8:59
Speaker 2: group where I happen to fall. But we can tolerate
9:03
Speaker 2: so many things, but there's a level of weird that
9:08
Speaker 2: comes in that crosses the line. And those are things
9:10
Speaker 2: that cross the line. That's where it got really weird.
9:14
Speaker 2: And when you get told you have to support Black
9:16
Speaker 2: Lives Matter or else you have to have the black
9:21
Speaker 2: your avatar on social media has to be a black
9:24
Speaker 2: box or a black circle or whatever, depending on which one.
9:28
Speaker 2: Or you know, you're not supporting the black Americans or
9:34
Speaker 2: black people around the world, or whoever it is. And
9:38
Speaker 2: then as suspected Black Lives Matter gets exposed for you
9:44
Speaker 2: know this, it's just a shill for the left. It's
9:47
Speaker 2: their money's being donated to them, or you know, people
9:50
Speaker 2: are buying houses and things with it. As people are
9:53
Speaker 2: making donations, you're supposed to put the colors of Ukraine
9:57
Speaker 2: on your social media or else. And it's just people
9:59
Speaker 2: just get tired of being told this is what you
10:01
Speaker 2: have to do. Gina Carano the actress that was fired
10:05
Speaker 2: from Disney. That's part of the whole thing with her.
10:08
Speaker 2: They've said, you have to put down your pronouns on Instagram,
10:11
Speaker 2: and she's like, I don't have to do that. What
10:14
Speaker 2: you're not gonna it's very Seinfeld. You know you're not
10:17
Speaker 2: gonna wear the ribbon. I mean, that's basically what happened
10:20
Speaker 2: to her, and she lost her job, her career, livelihood.
10:24
Speaker 2: She had a great gig in Star Wars, like all
10:26
Speaker 2: these roles in There's a movie coming out next year
10:32
Speaker 2: that she would have been involved in, but no, there
10:37
Speaker 2: was a series two series that she missed out on,
10:40
Speaker 2: seasons of the Mandalorian. Because ultimately it came down if
10:44
Speaker 2: she had just put the pronouns up, she'd still be
10:46
Speaker 2: working for Disney. Probably, I don't. There were some other
10:50
Speaker 2: things there too, but it was really just what you
10:52
Speaker 2: voted for Trump? How dare you? You can't do that again.
10:56
Speaker 2: You're supposed to think the way we tell you you're
10:58
Speaker 2: supposed to think. And I touched on some of this
11:02
Speaker 2: yesterday as we were talking about this notion of or
11:09
Speaker 2: not yesterday but maybe Tuesday. This idea of building up
11:13
Speaker 2: someone so that we can lift them up to where
11:22
Speaker 2: they're above accountability. That was something we addressed this week.
11:25
Speaker 2: I think it was Tuesday, because it was something from
11:27
Speaker 2: church on Sunday that I was kind of rolling over.
11:30
Speaker 2: And this whole notion of lifting people up and you
11:34
Speaker 2: know that we build them up and we say, you know,
11:37
Speaker 2: Christians do it with you know, like Tim Tebow or
11:39
Speaker 2: Christian athletes, and then we you know, there was a
11:42
Speaker 2: time when you know certain I don't know I almost
11:44
Speaker 2: said a name, but certain athletes that you would go, wow,
11:47
Speaker 2: these these people are very outspoken in their faith, and
11:51
Speaker 2: then you know, they become some of the most conceited,
11:54
Speaker 2: arrogant coaches, I mean, former players, they become everything that
12:02
Speaker 2: you think. And I'm not passing judgment on anybody. I'm
12:04
Speaker 2: just like, someone comes out and they're very outspoken about
12:09
Speaker 2: their faith, and you kind of hope that they're gonna,
12:11
Speaker 2: you know, be somebody that radiates those things. But it's
12:15
Speaker 2: the danger of elevating them and saying this is who
12:18
Speaker 2: we you know, we look up to. And I guess
12:22
Speaker 2: part of all of this and this ties into today's topic,
12:26
Speaker 2: as this isn't it strange how we can have these
12:34
Speaker 2: things that we've held we've held dear for a long time.
12:38
Speaker 2: The notion of all men created equal, uh, you know,
12:42
Speaker 2: treat everybody with respect, love everybody. These these things coming
12:46
Speaker 2: straight straight from the Bible, This notion of loving your neighbor,
12:51
Speaker 2: and you know, equality and and things that we can
12:54
Speaker 2: do to show love, just love on each other. And
12:58
Speaker 2: we can do this, and all it takes is one
13:01
Speaker 2: politician to come along and tell us differently, and we'll
13:06
Speaker 2: just kind of mindlessly follow them. It's a weird phenomenon
13:12
Speaker 2: that they can say something that you can have a
13:14
Speaker 2: politician that can come, you know, from another country and
13:18
Speaker 2: come in and suddenly they're pushing ideas that fall in
13:22
Speaker 2: line with you know, Sharia law. And where does this,
13:27
Speaker 2: how does this happen? What is this? How is this
13:31
Speaker 2: idea that just because somebody comes in, good looking guy
13:38
Speaker 2: with a beard in New York and he's sounds slick
13:41
Speaker 2: and he's got all but he says things that are
13:44
Speaker 2: ridiculous and we just go, yeah, right, I'll vote for him.
13:50
Speaker 2: I mean, how far could a politician get with I'm
13:54
Speaker 2: just going to give you free stuff. It's pretty big
13:58
Speaker 2: to be the mayor of New York. And I've already
14:01
Speaker 2: told you my concerns there. I think he's somebody who
14:03
Speaker 2: came here for the purposes of taking down New York City.
14:07
Speaker 2: I think he's there to finish the job that started
14:11
Speaker 2: with the first attempt at blowing up the World Trade Center.
14:14
Speaker 2: I believe that. I believe that's what he's there to do.
14:17
Speaker 2: And I think even though we already have businesses saying
14:20
Speaker 2: they're leaving, I think that's all part of it. I
14:23
Speaker 2: don't think there's any intention of keeping New York a
14:26
Speaker 2: great place. I think it's an idea of let's destroy it.
14:29
Speaker 2: That's what they want to do. And I think he's
14:30
Speaker 2: there to do that. I fully believe that. And it's
14:35
Speaker 2: interesting to me that he can come in and just
14:37
Speaker 2: say these things. We don't have this ability to filter
14:43
Speaker 2: out the ideas of socialism, communism and say they don't work.
14:49
Speaker 2: They've never worked, and they don't work. And it's absurd
14:52
Speaker 2: when we pretend that this is something that is going
14:56
Speaker 2: to work, or that it might work this time. This
14:58
Speaker 2: is the time that it's going work. And it's wild,
15:02
Speaker 2: isn't it. It just takes one person to start saying it,
15:05
Speaker 2: and if they're on the right team, you'll buy in.
15:09
Speaker 2: You're all in. I used to say to people that
15:12
Speaker 2: you know about certain coaches. I remember there was a
15:15
Speaker 2: period where, you know, Steve Spurrier was at Florida, he
15:19
Speaker 2: left Florida. There was a period where there was an
15:22
Speaker 2: opening at Alabama. Okay, I'm an Alabama guy. There was
15:27
Speaker 2: an opening at Alabama, and there was like Steve spurr
15:29
Speaker 2: or what if he goes to Alabama? And I just
15:32
Speaker 2: remember this feeling of you know, when he was at Florida,
15:37
Speaker 2: I hated him. I didn't hate him, but you know
15:39
Speaker 2: what I mean, in the sports world, in a rivalry sense,
15:43
Speaker 2: you hate him. And then they said, well, what if
15:45
Speaker 2: he came to Alabama. I was like, well, I'd tell him.
15:49
Speaker 2: I mean, if he's an a hole, at least he'd
15:52
Speaker 2: be our a hole. You know, there is there is
15:55
Speaker 2: some of that. I understand that, But we're not talking
15:57
Speaker 2: about sports. We're talking about the future of the country.
16:02
Speaker 2: We're talking about the thing that lets you sit down
16:05
Speaker 2: at the table next week for Thanksgiving and actually, you know,
16:09
Speaker 2: get along with your relatives, but you know, somebody from
16:14
Speaker 2: another country comes in, gets voted into Congress, tells you
16:17
Speaker 2: all these horrible things about what America is and we
16:20
Speaker 2: just kind of mindlessly go, yeah, believer, I love it
16:25
Speaker 2: what she said. It's weird, isn't it. It's just a
16:29
Speaker 2: strange thing that we do as a culture. Well, we're
16:33
Speaker 2: in uncertain times, and it always feels like even more
16:38
Speaker 2: uncertain times are just a heartbeat away, and your time
16:43
Speaker 2: to prepare for those uncertain times is now. It was
16:47
Speaker 2: actually yesterday, but chances are you didn't prep yesterday. We're
16:53
Speaker 2: all guilty of it. That means now is the time
16:56
Speaker 2: to prep well. Prep starts now. Is yours one stop

Speaker 2: Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to
21:20
Speaker 2: you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of
21:23
Speaker 2: your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have
21:28
Speaker 2: regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to
21:32
Speaker 2: get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and
21:35
Speaker 2: have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus
21:40
Speaker 2: can take care of square and that away for you,
21:42
Speaker 2: and while they're there, you can always ask them questions
21:44
Speaker 2: about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to
21:47
Speaker 2: make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't
21:51
Speaker 2: quite what you want it to be and you need
21:53
Speaker 2: some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you
21:56
Speaker 2: need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making
21:59
Speaker 2: an noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe
22:03
Speaker 2: it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got. With
22:06
Speaker 2: colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and
22:09
Speaker 2: it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd
22:12
Speaker 2: like to add a screen door to your garage door
22:15
Speaker 2: system that you can put down and you can use
22:17
Speaker 2: your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor,
22:22
Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
22:24
Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
22:26
Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
22:28
Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
22:31
Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
22:33
Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
22:36
Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
22:39
Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
22:42
Speaker 2: and they do those as well. Seven oh six thry

22:53
Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show right after the break, Well, if you
23:04
Speaker 2: are experiencing the phenom, and I think a lot of
23:10
Speaker 2: people are right now with how early the darkness is
23:13
Speaker 2: hitting us every night, and you're missing daylight saving time,
23:18
Speaker 2: well think about this. Be thankful. I guess that you
23:21
Speaker 2: don't live in the town of oot Kaogvik, which is
23:24
Speaker 2: in Alaska, northernmost town in America, and they just said
23:29
Speaker 2: goodbye to the sun for two months. A polar night
23:33
Speaker 2: sun won't peek over the horizon until January twenty second
23:37
Speaker 2: next year. So it could be worse, is what I'm saying.
23:42
Speaker 2: I understand we'd all like it to be, you know,
23:47
Speaker 2: daylight a little bit later. That would be nice, just
23:50
Speaker 2: for the benefit of us, those of us you know
23:53
Speaker 2: that want to be able to walk your dog, maybe
23:56
Speaker 2: you not have to do it after dinner and not
23:58
Speaker 2: have to rush and do it before and those kinds
24:00
Speaker 2: of things. Have you ever felt like you had a
24:03
Speaker 2: close friendship with a celebrity even though you've never met them, Well,
24:09
Speaker 2: then that friendship you have is actually a parasocial friendship
24:13
Speaker 2: happens to be Cambridge Dictionary's word of the Year. Parasocial
24:17
Speaker 2: describes those one sided relationships some people form with celebrities
24:21
Speaker 2: where you feel super connected to them and they don't
24:25
Speaker 2: have a clue who you are. The word received a
24:28
Speaker 2: surge of attention on Internet search browsers after Taylor Swift
24:32
Speaker 2: and Travis Kelcey announced their engagement, and fans felt a
24:35
Speaker 2: deep connection to the couple. It doesn't even have to
24:39
Speaker 2: involve a celebrity. It could be you know, AI chatbots,
24:43
Speaker 2: because apparently that's the thing, So it doesn't have to
24:46
Speaker 2: be a real human, doesn't have to be a person
24:49
Speaker 2: just I don't know. I've had friends that have you know,
24:52
Speaker 2: they live on other parts of the world and I've
24:55
Speaker 2: never met their pet, but I feel like I'm friends
24:56
Speaker 2: with their pet, as that count. I think there's a
24:59
Speaker 2: different probably definition for that, but that seems to be
25:03
Speaker 2: a good kind though, doesn't it. Hines is jumping into
25:09
Speaker 2: the Thanksgiving unique food items. I guess that's what you
25:15
Speaker 2: would call it with a brand new item. Gosh, it's
25:28
Speaker 2: Hines leftover gravy in a bottle, and it's available exclusively
25:34
Speaker 2: through Walmart. So it's a mess free, easy way to
25:38
Speaker 2: have gravy, you know, after Thanksgiving. I mean, I suppose
25:44
Speaker 2: you could use it during but it seems to be
25:48
Speaker 2: ready for sandwiches, you know, that's what it seems to
25:52
Speaker 2: be there for. But you can use it for obviously,
25:56
Speaker 2: anything you need gravy on. Can you put it on
25:59
Speaker 2: French fries? If you haven't had gravy on French fries,
26:02
Speaker 2: you're missing out, man, You're not even living life. Put
26:06
Speaker 2: some gravy on some French fries. You'll thank me later,
26:08
Speaker 2: or you'll find it disgusting, but you may thank me later.
26:11
Speaker 2: A new survey found sixty three percent of Americans say
26:14
Speaker 2: that they're doomed without butter over the holiday season. During
26:18
Speaker 2: the holidays, we do a lot of buttering, whether it's
26:21
Speaker 2: rolls and you know, baking castle roles. Basically Most households
26:28
Speaker 2: use about five sticks of butter per holiday, compared to
26:31
Speaker 2: just two sticks in a regular week. According to the survey,
26:35
Speaker 2: The holiday dishes where butter is most critical mashed potatoes, yes,
26:40
Speaker 2: perfect for squeezable gravy, dinner rolls certainly, corn yes, corn
26:46
Speaker 2: bread yeah, all right, sweet potatoes sure, and you're stuffing
26:53
Speaker 2: slash dressing depends on what part of the country you
26:58
Speaker 2: live in. What you call it. Yeah, that's all right.
27:00
Speaker 2: You need it in the mashed potatoes, and you need
27:02
Speaker 2: it in the rolls, in the corn at the very least.
27:04
Speaker 2: You need it for those things and all of the
27:06
Speaker 2: baking that you also need. They're smart watches, smart rings,
27:11
Speaker 2: now smart ear rings. The Lumia two is a tiny
27:15
Speaker 2: smart ear ring just about a gram pack serious health
27:19
Speaker 2: tracking features, priced at two hundred and fifty dollars. It
27:22
Speaker 2: monitors sleep, monthly cycles, and other things your I guess
27:28
Speaker 2: your circulatory system. I had to call an audible on
27:32
Speaker 2: that because the way this is written, and I knew
27:35
Speaker 2: the landmine was there, and I still almost walked into it.
27:38
Speaker 2: But it says this is I'm reading the way it's worded.
27:41
Speaker 2: It monitors sleep, monthly cycles, blood flow, and more. And
27:47
Speaker 2: that's why I changed it to your circulation so or
27:51
Speaker 2: your circulatory system. It gives you insights into energy and focus.
27:54
Speaker 2: It's aimed to everyday users. Comes with stylish options like hoops,
27:57

Speaker 2: battery life, works with whatever both app stores primary app stores.
28:07
Speaker 2: It's not FDA approved just yet, but early studies suggest
28:10
Speaker 2: its Legit launches plan for next year in the US
28:13
Speaker 2: and Canada with a nine to ninety nine monthly subscription
28:16
Speaker 2: for full features and the traveler advocacy group air Help
28:22
Speaker 2: just put out its annual rankings of airlines, and no
28:25
Speaker 2: US carriers made the top ten worldwide. Air Help rates
28:29
Speaker 2: airlines based on their on time performance, passenger opinion, and
28:34
Speaker 2: claims processing. Number one worldwide is Qatar Airways, followed by
28:41
Speaker 2: Virgin Atlantic and Eadie hod. Is that how you say
28:45
Speaker 2: that the top US carrier is American? I got those
28:49
Speaker 2: actually backwards. That was number two. Virgin was three top
28:52
Speaker 2: carrier in the US. American airlines at number eleven. In
28:54
Speaker 2: case you're wondering, lots of things beat a jet to
28:58
Speaker 2: holiday because the airline came in at number one oh
29:02
Speaker 2: five globally those Jet two holidays. So I know a
29:06
Speaker 2: lot of people who like to shop online, but they
29:09
Speaker 2: don't necessarily like to support the big corporate box stores online.
29:15
Speaker 2: I know it's not really box stores, but the online
29:18
Speaker 2: shopping can be a little bit tricky, and some folks
29:21
Speaker 2: are just done with some of the bad customer service
29:25
Speaker 2: or bad experiences that they've had with shopping with some
29:28
Speaker 2: of those online retailers. Well, I want to talk to
