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, a third day of October. I'm Wes, thanks
0:15
Speaker 2: for joining me. Just realized this is, you know, CBE
0:19
Speaker 2: Radio Day, eve tomorrow being you know, ten to four.
0:25
Speaker 2: I guess in other countries where they do the date
0:27
Speaker 2: the other way, the August tenth, right, I mean April tenth.
0:32
Speaker 2: Blew that April tenth. I got a month that started
0:36
Speaker 2: with an A deal with it. That's what I got,
0:40
Speaker 2: April tenth, you know, like Australians they do that. Some
0:44
Speaker 2: other countries do that. They do it backwards. They write
0:46
Speaker 2: the day first, then the month, right, so yeah, it
0:52
Speaker 2: would be April tenth. Anyway, that's today is the third though.
0:55
Speaker 2: It's the third of October, the eve of CBE Radio Day.
0:59
Speaker 2: I'm just hoping I can remember this tomorrow. That's what
1:02
Speaker 2: I'm hoping, because I don't know if I'll remember it.
1:04
Speaker 2: That's why I thought i'd better say it now just
1:06
Speaker 2: in case I don't remember it tomorrow. So here we
1:10
Speaker 2: are on Thursday. We're getting inching our way through the
1:15
Speaker 2: month of October, inching our way towards election day, inching
1:19
Speaker 2: our way towards maybe is some opportunity for us to
1:26
Speaker 2: make some changes in the country, and I don't know,
1:30
Speaker 2: maybe things can get better. I do want to remind
1:33
Speaker 2: you just quickly, there is still a lot of need
1:35
Speaker 2: for help around the Southeast after Hurricane Helene, and there
1:41
Speaker 2: are different things that you can do to help. I've mentioned,
1:44
Speaker 2: obviously prayer being one of those things, and I stand
1:49
Speaker 2: by that. I know they've got a lot of people
1:50
Speaker 2: that go Prayer doesn't get anything done, it does something
1:53
Speaker 2: for the prayer, it does something for us as a people.
1:57
Speaker 2: Hopefully we can all come together and find some sense
2:02
Speaker 2: of focus in our lives. I mean, that's the best
2:06
Speaker 2: I can say for it. Maybe we can find something
2:08
Speaker 2: that we can focus on, something that's other than just ourselves,
2:12
Speaker 2: other than the dopamine hits we get on social media
2:14
Speaker 2: or whatever that is. And then, of course there's a
2:17
Speaker 2: couple other things that people can do. Some people can
2:19
Speaker 2: give of their time, some people can financially give to
2:23
Speaker 2: support the people in need. I just remind you, just
2:27
Speaker 2: find someone that you are able to trust as you
2:31
Speaker 2: make some sort of a financial donation, and if you're
2:35
Speaker 2: giving of your time. I highly encourage going through churches
2:40
Speaker 2: that are you know, working with other churches and areas
2:44
Speaker 2: that are greatly affected. And then maybe another thing you
2:47
Speaker 2: can do is, you know, thank Alignment. They've been working
2:50
Speaker 2: hard to get power back on for a lot of
2:52
Speaker 2: people in a lot of areas, some traveling to areas
2:55
Speaker 2: to help out. So that's another thing that you can do.
2:57
Speaker 2: And you know, their families have to be without them
3:01
Speaker 2: and not kind of knowing what they're doing in the
3:03
Speaker 2: middle of the night sometimes in these storms. So there's
3:06
Speaker 2: some challenges of course that go with all of that,
3:08
Speaker 2: just being the spouse or loved one of Alignment, family
3:12
Speaker 2: member of Alignment. I told you yesterday that I was honest.
3:19
Speaker 2: I wasn't feeling great the other night. I went to
3:21
Speaker 2: bed a little early and didn't really get a chance
3:24
Speaker 2: to watch the VP debate live. Had a chance to
3:29
Speaker 2: watch it after the fact. I made sure to record it.
3:31
Speaker 2: How many people recorded the VP debate be honest, probably
3:35
Speaker 2: not a lot, and had a chance to watch it
3:39
Speaker 2: skim through some of it because honestly, there were a
3:41
Speaker 2: couple of phases in it where I thought, gracious, this
3:44
Speaker 2: is getting boring. But overall, I think it did go
3:48
Speaker 2: kind of true to form. The biggest surprise maybe in
3:51
Speaker 2: all of it, is the overall demeanor of the VP
3:58
Speaker 2: pick for Kamala Harris in Tim Walls. So he was
4:03
Speaker 2: not exactly I think what we expected. Least I didn't
4:08
Speaker 2: expect it he was. I mean, I know he has
4:11
Speaker 2: this tendency when he gets out on stage in front
4:13
Speaker 2: of large crowds of people to go a little goofy.
4:16
Speaker 2: I don't know that I was expecting him to come
4:18
Speaker 2: goofy to the debate, but he did. And I think
4:23
Speaker 2: we got exactly what you would expect out of JD.
4:26
Speaker 2: Vance the Trump VP pick. He was polished. There were
4:31
Speaker 2: a couple of situations where I think both of them
4:35
Speaker 2: certainly acted more like adults than what we're used to
4:38
Speaker 2: seeing in any sort of political debate. At least over
4:42
Speaker 2: the last several years. They were at times even apologetic
4:47
Speaker 2: to one another or complimentary to one another. There was
4:50
Speaker 2: that one moment where Walls talked about witnessing a shooting
4:55
Speaker 2: and Vance gave him some condolences of sorts on saying basically,
5:00
Speaker 2: I wasn't aware that you had witnessed that, and I'm
5:03
Speaker 2: sorry that you had to witness that and that was
5:06
Speaker 2: well received by Walls. It wasn't a turn of let's
5:10
Speaker 2: make this the most political thing we can make it.
5:14
Speaker 2: There was a moment during the debate where Walls very
5:18
Speaker 2: much misspoke. A lot has been made of that. It
5:21
Speaker 2: was a strange moment where he basically said, you know
5:25
Speaker 2: that he knows a lot of mass shooters. And I
5:31
Speaker 2: think he was clearly trying to say he's gotten to
5:33
Speaker 2: know the victims of mass shootings. Doesn't mean that one
5:39
Speaker 2: people that you know make it about politics and want
5:42
Speaker 2: to run with it. Didn't do that. And also, you
5:45
Speaker 2: know the people of the conspiracy people, man, they loved that.
5:48
Speaker 2: Oh what he slipped up and said something he shouldn't
5:51
Speaker 2: have said. Oh my goodness, you're not supposed to say that,
5:55
Speaker 2: and I'm supposed to let people know. Look, it was
5:58
Speaker 2: a misspeak. I think we should be big enough to
6:02
Speaker 2: understand sometimes that the misspeaks happen. Both sides I don't
6:07
Speaker 2: think are gracious enough. In the misspeak. You start talking
6:11
Speaker 2: about speaking live in front of crowds of people over
6:15
Speaker 2: and over and over again. Now, admittedly, if he has
6:19
Speaker 2: been doing more interviews or doing more press conferences, maybe
6:25
Speaker 2: he would be a little more polished in some of
6:27
Speaker 2: these areas. Vance certainly was. He's been doing a lot
6:30
Speaker 2: of interviews on Sundays. He hits all the Sunday news shows.
6:35
Speaker 2: It seems like rapid fire, one after the next, and
6:39
Speaker 2: that's an indication of someone who's getting themselves ready for
6:42
Speaker 2: a debate. It's someone who's getting themselves ready to be
6:45
Speaker 2: in the limelight versus two candidates on the left that
6:49
Speaker 2: are just ducking every possible time to be criticized and
6:53
Speaker 2: to have to answer questions. A couple of questions we've
6:56
Speaker 2: been wanting to get an answer to finally got asked
6:59
Speaker 2: of Tim Walls, including about his military record. Were you
7:04
Speaker 2: satisfied with what he said? I wasn't. He didn't apologize.
7:08
Speaker 2: He basically just kind of said, oh, you know, I'm
7:10
Speaker 2: a knucklehead sometimes I say the wrong thing. That's not
7:15
Speaker 2: an apology. That's not a hey, I stole valor. I
7:19
Speaker 2: I you know, I shouldn't have done that. There was
7:23
Speaker 2: not really, there's no mea culpa there. There was just
7:26
Speaker 2: a ah, boy, I'm a knucklehead. Sometimes I'll misspeak, which
7:32
Speaker 2: would be a convenient excuse for any of the other
7:35
Speaker 2: things that were said that were incorrect, including the discussion
7:39
Speaker 2: back and forth on abortion, and Vance pointed out that,
7:43
Speaker 2: you know, this can't be wide open for abortion, and
7:48
Speaker 2: you know there has to be you know, Trump and
7:51
Speaker 2: Vance have both advocated for this being an issue handled
7:55
Speaker 2: by the states. And just a reminder, you know, we
7:59
Speaker 2: talked little bit about the Bill of Rights, and right
8:02
Speaker 2: there in our Bill of Rights, it's basically lays out
8:04
Speaker 2: that issues aren't laid out in our Constitution then get
8:10
Speaker 2: handled by the states. And that's ultimately the reason that
8:15
Speaker 2: our Supreme Court came to the ruling that that's something
8:18
Speaker 2: that should have been handled by the states the whole time.
8:21
Speaker 2: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who is beloved on the left, and
8:26
Speaker 2: I've told you many times on this show, she's the
8:29
Speaker 2: great hero of having Roe v. Wade overturned, mainly because
8:34
Speaker 2: she was very stubborn. She did not want to basically
8:39
Speaker 2: vacate her seat and allow Barack Obama to pick her replacement.
8:44
Speaker 2: She said, note, Hillary Clinton is going to be the
8:45
Speaker 2: next president. I'd like the first woman president to make
8:48
Speaker 2: the pick on who's going to replace me. And when
8:52
Speaker 2: Donald Trump won and Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away that
8:56
Speaker 2: paved the way for Donald Trump to pick her replacement,
9:00
Speaker 2: which really set the tone for overturning Roe v. Wade. Now,
9:04
Speaker 2: perhaps what is most interesting about all of that is
9:10
Speaker 2: that Ruth Bader Ginsburg has you know, was on record
9:13
Speaker 2: saying that Roe v. Wade, that decision should have been
9:19
Speaker 2: not handled by the Supreme Court, but it should have
9:21
Speaker 2: been an issue of abortions should have been handled by
9:24
Speaker 2: the states. So that's something that she said, and ultimately,
9:28
Speaker 2: like I said, and I know she probably would not
9:31
Speaker 2: have wanted to be known as the hero of ending
9:34
Speaker 2: Roe v. Wade, and a lot of folks on the
9:36
Speaker 2: left certainly don't like me for saying that, but it's
9:39
Speaker 2: the reality. Without her involvement, I don't know that it
9:42
Speaker 2: would have been overturned. But that's the reason that it's
9:47
Speaker 2: been handed back over to the states, is it's an
9:49
Speaker 2: issue that's not laid out anywhere else. So allowing states
9:52
Speaker 2: to make decisions and allowing you know, people to vote
9:58
Speaker 2: and make decisions where they live at a more local
10:00
Speaker 2: level to decide what that area is going to do
10:04
Speaker 2: about abortion. Now, as I've said on the show many times,
10:09
Speaker 2: I'm an advocate for there needs to be a compromise.
10:12
Speaker 2: There needs to be a compromise set in stone, and
10:14
Speaker 2: then we need to put this issue to bed because
10:17
Speaker 2: it's one of those issues that the left sees as
10:20
Speaker 2: an opportunity to gain votes. They see it as a
10:24
Speaker 2: campaign issue. I think the right sees it as a
10:28
Speaker 2: human rights issue concerning the unborn, those that don't get
10:33
Speaker 2: any representation in all of this decision. And it comes
10:37
Speaker 2: down to do you believe that an unborn child is
10:40
Speaker 2: a child or do you believe an unborn child as
10:42
Speaker 2: a group of cells or an inconvenience. And we've heard
10:45
Speaker 2: a growing number of people say that they believe that,
10:49
Speaker 2: yes it's a baby, Yes you're killing a baby, but
10:52
Speaker 2: that's okay. And we've heard a number of people on
10:55
Speaker 2: the left say that. So if that is the belief,
11:00
Speaker 2: then you know, God help us. First of all, that's
11:03
Speaker 2: a horrifying thought if you think it is a baby
11:06
Speaker 2: and has the opportunity to, you know, live a life,
11:11
Speaker 2: and you're quite happy with ending that life for convenience
11:15
Speaker 2: in many cases. But again this was covered in the
11:20
Speaker 2: debate and Vance said, you know, he's got friends that
11:23
Speaker 2: made the decision to have abortions. He's got people that
11:26
Speaker 2: he cares about, and he at one time talked about
11:30
Speaker 2: the importance of maybe a fifteen week a ban being
11:33
Speaker 2: something that was set in stone. I know there have
11:35
Speaker 2: been a growing number of Republicans that have said maybe
11:39
Speaker 2: a fifteen week conversation could be had or a twelve
11:42
Speaker 2: week conversation, and the left doesn't want any part of that.
11:47
Speaker 2: They want Roe v. Wade back the way that it was.
11:50
Speaker 2: And in many states, the opportunity for a botched abortion,
11:55
Speaker 2: a baby born alive, the doctor to make the decision
11:57
Speaker 2: at that point, and that was pointed out Tim Walls,
12:00
Speaker 2: the governor of Minnesota, who said, no, I didn't have anything.
12:04
Speaker 2: That's not true. That's not what we did. But he's
12:07
Speaker 2: the one who actually signed it. He signed it so
12:10
Speaker 2: that that could be the case in his state, and
12:11
Speaker 2: it's true in not most states, but many states too,
12:16
Speaker 2: many states. So if that conversation was had in an
12:21
Speaker 2: actual let's have a bipartisan decision, because people like to
12:24
Speaker 2: talk about Europe, they like to say, well, you know,
12:28
Speaker 2: Europe has a you know, France has abortion rights built
12:32
Speaker 2: into their constitution. Now, yeah, but there's a restriction on
12:35
Speaker 2: the number of weeks. So if there was ever going
12:39
Speaker 2: to be a compromise. The number would have to be
12:42
Speaker 2: kind of low to make folks on the right happy,
12:45
Speaker 2: and then the folks on the left can say, you
12:47
Speaker 2: know what, twelve weeks is going to have to be
12:50
Speaker 2: as good as we're going to get, or fifteen weeks
12:52
Speaker 2: or whatever it is. I forget what the number is
12:54
Speaker 2: in France, but it's I think it's twelve or thirteen
12:57
Speaker 2: or fourteen, somewhere in that range. It's not many. It's
13:01
Speaker 2: less than what you would think it would be from
13:03
Speaker 2: the way that those places are talked about. So that
13:07
Speaker 2: was one of the issues that they kind of sparred
13:10
Speaker 2: a little bit. And you know, is this going to
13:12
Speaker 2: have an impact on the election. Probably not. I don't know.
13:15
Speaker 2: You know, maybe the people who've already made up their mind.
13:18
Speaker 2: I don't know very many people who watched the VP
13:21
Speaker 2: debate ever and say, you know what, I like the
13:25
Speaker 2: way that guy talked or I like the way that
13:28
Speaker 2: Gal talked, and you know that's going to be ultimately
13:31
Speaker 2: that because it's not really I mean, the people who
13:33
Speaker 2: now try to pretend that Kamala Harris is the reason
13:36
Speaker 2: they voted for Biden, that's just not true. People weren't
13:39
Speaker 2: voting for her in the presidential race. They just weren't.
13:45
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's just the hard reality of it is.
13:48
Speaker 2: You know, they didn't want her for president. She was
13:51
Speaker 2: Biden's pick, and you know, you sure you can be
13:54
Speaker 2: happy about it later, you can say, hey, I'm excited
13:57
Speaker 2: that that's the VP, but that wasn't the pick for president,
14:01
Speaker 2: and there was nobody voting for president based on her
14:05
Speaker 2: or her performance in the VP debate four years ago.
14:09
Speaker 2: It's just the reality of it. So where does that
14:12
Speaker 2: leave us now? It leaves us with Trump leading in
14:16
Speaker 2: most polls in the battleground states. It's a small lead,
14:20
Speaker 2: or he's very close, like barely behind, and Trump does
14:25
Speaker 2: poll lower than he actually performs. So what does that mean. Well,
14:30
Speaker 2: we'll see some of the polls would have had Trump
14:35
Speaker 2: leading or likely to win states four years ago. But
14:38
Speaker 2: that was a different beast. That was COVID. That was
14:43
Speaker 2: a lot of ballots being harvested, some of them legally,
14:48
Speaker 2: some of them illegally. That was people filling out ballots
14:51
Speaker 2: for other people, admittedly illegally. That was people getting mail
14:57
Speaker 2: in ballots for other people and mailing them in for
15:00
Speaker 2: people that don't even live in the state that they
15:02
Speaker 2: were casting a vote for them in, and I know
15:05
Speaker 2: someone that happened to, So you can't tell me that
15:07
Speaker 2: didn't happen. So we have you know, maybe I would
15:14
Speaker 2: hope by this point in five weeks we're going to
15:18
Speaker 2: know the outcome of this election. I hope that we
15:21
Speaker 2: don't have counties that are just like Fulton or you
15:25
Speaker 2: know not. I don't want to. We don't need any
15:27
Speaker 2: sitting on the ballots for days. We don't need anybody
15:29
Speaker 2: just sitting back and waiting that. We don't need this
15:33
Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania. We don't need this in Georgia. We don't
15:35
Speaker 2: need this anywhere. You get them turned in. Florida used
15:39
Speaker 2: to be a mess with ballots. Remember this used to
15:41
Speaker 2: be a problem. Miami Dade. This used to be a problem.
15:45
Speaker 2: They worked it out. We think Georgia has it worked
15:48
Speaker 2: out now. But we don't need another election where we're
15:52
Speaker 2: waiting days to find out who won. We don't need that.
15:55
Speaker 2: It's time for us to get the get them turned in,
16:00
Speaker 2: get the results reported, and then we move on. That's
16:04
Speaker 2: what we need to have happen. We don't need a
16:07
Speaker 2: situation where we go man one candidate needs X number
16:10
Speaker 2: of votes. We don't need anybody call and saying find
16:14
Speaker 2: me this number of votes. We don't need any of that.
16:16
Speaker 2: We don't need people getting picked up and busted anywhere
16:19
Speaker 2: and fed pizza to vote. They cut that out in Georgia.
16:23
Speaker 2: But we don't need that. We don't need any Hey,
16:25
Speaker 2: we know the polls we're supposed to close at seven,
16:29
Speaker 2: it's eight point thirty. We've come up with a reason
16:32
Speaker 2: to keep them open longer. Let's get a bus and
16:34
Speaker 2: fill it with people and feed them and take them
16:36
Speaker 2: to the one place we're going to keep open long
16:39
Speaker 2: enough for those people to vote, and as long as
16:41
Speaker 2: they're in line with their slice of pizza, then they
16:44
Speaker 2: can vote. We don't need that. It gets ridiculous. We've
16:47
Speaker 2: gotten silly with this. It's time to get something together
16:52
Speaker 2: and report the outcome in each county and let's move on.
16:57
Speaker 2: Let's get this, get through this. Like I said, hopefully
17:01
Speaker 2: in five weeks, we're going to have an idea of
17:02
Speaker 2: where things are headed for the next four years. Today's
17:05
Speaker 2: show brought to you by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola
17:08
Speaker 2: Space Science Center, Inspiring and educating the youth and future
17:14
Speaker 2: STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages.
17:20
Speaker 2: I mean they do it for school age kids as
17:23
Speaker 2: school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center,
17:25
Speaker 2: but they also do it through their university programs where
17:29
Speaker 2: you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in
17:34
Speaker 2: space and STEM fields are booming right now. And you
17:38
Speaker 2: can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their
17:42
Speaker 2: website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out

Speaker 2: Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike
17:59
Speaker 2: any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's
18:03

18:51
Speaker 2: you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center
18:54
Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
18:59
Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
19:02
Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
19:08
Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
19:12
Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
19:15
Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
19:18
Speaker 2: square in that away for you, and while they're there,
19:21
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
19:23
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
19:27
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
19:30
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
19:32
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:35
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
19:39
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insallation
19:42
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
19:46
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
19:49
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
19:52
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
19:55
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
19:58
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
20:01
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
20:03
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
20:05
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
20:07
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
20:10
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
20:13
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
20:15
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
20:19
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
20:22
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred
20:25
Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O
20:28
Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after
20:32
Speaker 2: the break. Calls to bring Pete Rose to the Baseball
20:46
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame are growing, and he has got a
20:51
Speaker 2: an advocate in former President Trump, who says now is
20:54
Speaker 2: the time to let him in. He's paid the price
20:58
Speaker 2: and ducked him get him into the Hall of Fame.
21:00
Speaker 2: Before his funeral, they said he was banned for life
21:04
Speaker 2: from the Hall of Fame. Now that he has passed away,
21:08
Speaker 2: does that mean they will now let him in. You
21:11
Speaker 2: gotta believe, you gotta believe there's a chance they're gonna
21:14
Speaker 2: let him in. After that. We know apple pie is
21:19
Speaker 2: one of those things that we talk about. Oh, it's
21:22
Speaker 2: as American as apple pie, the metaphor that describe anything
21:25
Speaker 2: uniquely American. And CNN Travel made a new list of
21:30
Speaker 2: the twenty best American eats, and here's the list. Apple
21:34
Speaker 2: Pie is in fact on the list, but it's not
21:37
Speaker 2: the top of the list. So the things that they
21:39
Speaker 2: say are the most American things, barbecue, fried okra, cobb salad,
21:45
Speaker 2: peanut butter and jelly, sandwiches, fry bread, red beans and rice, hamburgers,
21:50
Speaker 2: apple pie, poquet, chili rounds out the top ten. Yeah,
21:57
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know that I could. And there's
22:00
Speaker 2: some a couple of things a little further down the list.
22:02
Speaker 2: I'm not gonnassarily go with the numbers, but like general
22:04
Speaker 2: SOA's chicken, which we think, oh, that's Chinese food, but
22:06
Speaker 2: that's an Americanized Chinese food. Grits made the list. Let's
22:13
Speaker 2: see gumbo, which I guess you know, it's very regional
22:16
Speaker 2: for Louisiana. They got the o banana pudding is on
22:23
Speaker 2: the list. That's nice. Spaghetti and meatballs, you know, americanized
22:26
Speaker 2: version of Italian. I guess. Interesting. Barbecue being at the
22:32
Speaker 2: top of the list, followed by fried Okra, fried Okra
22:36
Speaker 2: and grits being on the list makes me happy, that's all.
22:39
Speaker 2: Candy corn one of those Halloween candies that people either
22:42
Speaker 2: love it or they hate it. If you ask a
22:45
Speaker 2: candy corn fan to describe what candy corn tastes like,
22:48
Speaker 2: they'll probably just say it tastes like candy corn. I mean,
22:50
Speaker 2: that's true. It does. You can't argue with that. But
22:56
Speaker 2: it has no real natural flavor to it, so they
22:58
Speaker 2: say it's hard to kind of pinpoint exactly what it
23:00
Speaker 2: tastes like. But the Jelly Belly company has now given
23:03
Speaker 2: it a try. Jelly Belly, one of the companies that
23:06
Speaker 2: produces candy corn, says that the little waxy candies should
23:09
Speaker 2: taste like a wonderful blend of creamy, fondant, rich marshmallow.
23:14
Speaker 2: Is it fondant? I just say fondant and warm vanilla notes.
23:20
Speaker 2: Of course that's what traditional candy corns taste. But Brox,
23:25
Speaker 2: another large producer of the candy, also offers flavors like caramel, apple,
23:30
Speaker 2: kettle corn, strawberry, funnel cake, and others. According to the
23:33
Speaker 2: National Confectioners Association, candy companies produce about thirty five million
23:38
Speaker 2: pounds of candy corn each year. No word on how
23:41
Speaker 2: much of that actually gets eaten. Fun story one year,
23:47
Speaker 2: one of my children, Luke, many years ago, he was
23:54
Speaker 2: probably about five maybe, decided that he really wanted candy
23:59
Speaker 2: corn and Chris Stocking needless to say, that calls some
24:04
Speaker 2: anxiety for everyone involved at the North Pole because you know,
24:10
Speaker 2: they had to track down some candy corn in December,
24:16
Speaker 2: so that was a lot of fun for them. I'm
24:18
Speaker 2: sure October is National Book Month. It's time when the
24:23
Speaker 2: joy of reading is promoted by literacy advocates like libraries
24:27
Speaker 2: and schools. In Pizza Hut, the pizza chain wants people
24:30
Speaker 2: of all ages to read, so it's brought back its
24:32
Speaker 2: book program book It Program, where it will give away
24:35
Speaker 2: one million free pizzas. All you need to do to
24:37
Speaker 2: get one is read a book, go to book it
24:39
Speaker 2: program dot com and roll in the program and then
24:42
Speaker 2: get your free personal pizza with a minimum of an
24:44
Speaker 2: eight dollars purchase. So there you go. Interior designers have
24:49
Speaker 2: spoken and they say it's time to say goodbye to
24:52
Speaker 2: those live, laugh love signs. According to the experts, word art,
24:57
Speaker 2: you know, the wooden signs with inspiring and funny phrases,
25:00
Speaker 2: or making your home look dated. On social media, interior
25:05
Speaker 2: designer Phoenix Gray spoke with a fellow designer, Nicholas Girtler.
25:09
Speaker 2: Oh they're get good stuff. I don't know, to find
25:13
Speaker 2: out how much they both hate word art. Gray even
25:15
Speaker 2: called it the absolute cardinal sin of interior design. We
25:21
Speaker 2: got a little it's not hanging on the wall, but
25:23
Speaker 2: it's a small one that says beware of wiggle buds,
25:29
Speaker 2: specifically referring to our dog in case you were wondering.
25:33
Speaker 2: So that's our one bit of word art that we
25:35
Speaker 2: have in our house. How long does it take for
25:37
Speaker 2: you to fall asleep? As soon as your head hits
25:40
Speaker 2: the pillow. Takes you a while to wind down while
25:42
Speaker 2: you're just lying there and tossing and turning. Well, it
25:46
Speaker 2: turns out the time and then it takes you to
25:47
Speaker 2: fall asleep might be more important than you think. According
25:50
Speaker 2: to sleep experts, if you're out like a light within
25:53
Speaker 2: ten to twenty minutes, you're in a sweet spot of
25:55
Speaker 2: sleep health. But if you're dozing off in under five minutes,
25:59
Speaker 2: you might actually be sleep deprived. On the flip side,
26:03
Speaker 2: taking more than thirty minutes to fall asleep could signal
26:05
Speaker 2: insomnia or other sleep issues. That'll do it for this
26:10
Speaker 2: Thursday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and Patronspatreon,
