  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: your day when you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, twelfth day of May. I'm Wes, thanks for joining.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Me, Zip and right along through this week, aren't we
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: a little bit.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Closer to into school, a little bit closer to the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: election day that's coming up.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Where as you're selecting.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Candidates, you're picking your ballots, you're selecting your candidates in
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Columbus Georgia, we're voting for mayor.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: All those things are coming coming into play.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: All happening, all just coming right on, and then summer
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: is basically upon us and all that. It really felt
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: like it last night while we were Jill and I
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: were walking the dog and it felt a little crispy.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Here we are. It's coming up fast.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: And I think I mentioned this already, but we've hit
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: that phase of parenting where our son has had prom
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: and now it feels like he's basically like kind of
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: becoming a senior in high school before our very eyes.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: That's kind of playing out for us as well. So
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: there's a lot going on. Also, I've got Columbus State
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: University graduation this week. Once again, they have asked me
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: to be the official voice of Columbus State Academics. My
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: old radio partner, Scott Miller the voice of Columbus State Athletics.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: We got both sides covered. I'll be there reading the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: names of the graduates on Thursday night and then the
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: graduation ceremonies. That's the hooding ceremony Thursday, and then the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: graduation ceremonies on Friday. And it's a weird skill to
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: learn that you have kind of late in life.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: You would think this might have.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Somehow, I don't know, shown itself reared itself at some
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: point early in my life.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: It did not. But being able to read names.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, I think I hit in the
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: high ninety percent. I think that's pretty good. I'm doing
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: better than AI. We got places in the country that
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: have used AI and they have been failing miserably. So
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I just always appreciate the opportunity to be a part
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: of it as a graduate of the school myself. And
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure there were several names even on my
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: road that were messed up back when I graduated, not mine.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: They got mine right, But you know, I give it
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: my all. I do what I can I do the
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: best I can, and I love learning new names, pronunciations
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: of names, and I like rolling them over to the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: next experience.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I'm going on ten years of doing.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: This, so anyway, I appreciate them having me back to
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: do it. It really is my pleasure. It's an honor
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: to be asked to do it. I know it's one
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: of those jobs that no one on campus wants to do,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: like really wants to do it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: So I'm happy that they asked.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Me to do it, and I love the opportunity to
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: do it, and I try to get them right for
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: every student.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Do the best I can.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: So we're coming up on that end of school. We've
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: got this busy week for me. This is my second
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: busiest week of the year. The busiest is when we well,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: this may be my third busiest. The December of the
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: fall graduation is busier because I'm doing the Nutcracker during
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: that week as well, when we've got Tech Week going
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: on for that and that will be the case again
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: this year. And then I've got that period as we
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: go lead up to Dragon Con that's a pretty hectic
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: week for me as well. So this is one of
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: my three really busy times of the year, and I'm just,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: like I said, just I'm happy to be a part
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: of it. I love that they've asked me to do
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: it so many times, and I'll do it as long.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: As they ask I really will.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, So today, speed I mentioned dragon con in this
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and what I want to talk about this morning is
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: just I want to be clear on a few things,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: all right. I want to make sure it's very understood
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: that if someone wants to be critical of my main
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: message for this show today, I open myself up to
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: a number of ways that you can do that. And
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I'm going to acknowledge those ways for me that you
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: could be critical of my message for today. And I'll
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: begin with this.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I'm a child of the eighties. I was born in
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the seventies, but my childhood, my memories, most of them
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: were from the eighties of my childhood. So I grew
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: up in an age we were still doing Saturday morning cartoons,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: we were still enjoying the reruns of Yesteryear on TV.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: We were also kind of enjoying this era of TV
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: shows that were catering to people my age, like The
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Saved by the Bells and The nine two one O's
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: those two groups of kids, and those shows graduated the
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: same year that I graduated, Like their graduation year on
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: those shows was the same year that I graduated.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: So that was all part of it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Musically, I've got a lot, you know, stuff that for
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: me as far as the eighties go, my movies, my
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: movie taste, all those things. I'm in that camp that
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I and I've had conversations with friends about this. Nineteen
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: eighty four was like the best pop culture year ever.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: When you think about the movies, you think about the music,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: you think about what was on TV, all of those things.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: And when I say that, I want to preface it
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: by the movies that I loved in that era were
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Star Wars, all three of them from that era. I
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: know one of them was still in my lifetime, but
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: not exactly.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: You know, eighties, but Star Wars loved it.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I love the cartoons of that era, Transformers, g I Joe, ThunderCats.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: If you're a Gen xer in my age group, you
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: know the shows I'm talking about.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: He Man.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to the he Man movie that's coming out.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Video games kind of blew up on the scene at
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: that point.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Pac Man.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I have a pac Man a stress ball right in
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: front of me that sits in front of.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Me every day when I do the show.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I've got a little Darth Vader that sits here at
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: my desk, along with many other little trinkets and photos
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: and things.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Just feet for me.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Is sitting just beyond my recording area is a Grogu
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: from the Mandalorian and the upcoming Mandalorian and Grogu movie.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: And I have an abundance of still action figure types
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: that I've put out on display in various places. I
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: love Legos, all of those things. Okay, I still enjoy well.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I like Star Wars animation. I like watching cartoons. I
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: promise I'm going somewhere with this. I still like watching
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: sci fi movies and TV shows. I still when my
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: kids were small and they were watching various animation things like,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I like watching those with them. I like some of
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the old Disney movies. I there's some that I haven't
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: even seen yet that I can't believe. I haven't can't
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: believe I haven't seen Wally, Like that's not a movie
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I've watched. I need to remedy that. But I like
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the you know, a lot of the stuff that Disney
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Studios is putting out. I got a lot of questions
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: about why they've you know, blown out all the art department,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: but just just putting in perspective things that people could
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: be critical of me when it comes in. And I
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: still love playing video games. The very computer that I have, well,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the monitor that I have here on my desk that
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I use just about every day, is I can flip
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: a switch and I can play Miss pac Man and
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Donkey Kong on it, like the arcade versions, and I
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: do that often, all right. So I still like to
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: play video games. I still, especially with my kids. There's
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of things I do from my childhood that
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: continue on. I would just like to establish all of
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: those things. Those are all things. And I love to
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: go to Dragon Con. It's like, you know, NERD summer
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: camp with your friends is what that is for me,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: and I love to do that. Okay, there are many
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: things I do that are extremely childish.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: My kids are, you know, almost as senior in high school,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: and I've got an almost freshman in high school. There's
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: going to be a point where they're not going to
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: be living here, and it's going to be me and
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: my bride and I'm going to still.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Be doing things that you could say, well, maybe you
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: should have outgrown those. Okay.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I preface the message of today's show with all of that.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: So if you want to come at me in the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: message with any of those things, and I'm sure there's
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: many more that you could come at me concerning all
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: of this, we could, we could definitely have a conversation.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I've been saving this one for a while and I
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: just because of that, because of the easy I have
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: a garbage pail kid lay on my desk. I'm trying
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: to even remember who gave me this Moto Carl and
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: he's on a motorcycle, a little motorbike, and his arms
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: are ripped out, and so Moto Karl. I have a
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: garbage pail kid here just to establish what my childhood
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: was like that may have been mine. When I say,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know who gave it to me, I don't
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: know how it ended up on my desk, Jill. We
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: found it somewhere and went what is this? But the
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: message for today is this, and I just I think
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I've set it up enough from my perspective on it,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: my side of it. Uh, And as much as I
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: can say you know, we're to put away childish things.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: You know, these are things that I think keep me young,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: that's all. These are things from my childhood. If you
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: ever see me heading to go make like a house
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: payment or a car payment. Not that I go do that,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: like who's driving around doing that? But if you see
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: me out, you know, trying to pay a bill. You know,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I got to go pay the water bill, and I go, no, no,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go buy legos. You know, you could say, hey, hey, hey,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: let's put that childish stuff behind you. Uh. These grown people,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: these adult, grown people, that their whole identity is the
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: fraternity or sorority when they went to college.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: What's that about? What are we doing there? What is that?
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: That's a pretty prominent thing here in Columbus, in my hometown.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: And I just don't understand. I wasn't into that. I
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: wasn't into the greek life. And I get that you
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: have the fraternities and sororities when you're in college. They
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: serve a purpose in college for some people. Even when
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I was in college. Not to sound snobby, but I
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: just I kind of felt like that wasn't for me.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I felt a little above that then and this isn't
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: this isn't me being snobby. I just felt like, you know,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: this kind of forced socializing thing. And then kind of
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: a little after college, when I had people that worked
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: with me and in some cases for me that would
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: tell me, oh, I can't be at work on that
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: day because we've got a fraternity event that I've got
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: to go to.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: And they were in college.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: And then the day comes around and the person tells
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: me I can work that day. It's fine, Well, don't
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: you know you can go go to the thing. Well,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I can't go because I didn't pay my dues this
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: month and I'm not allowed to go hang out with them.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: That was another mark against it for me. I didn't
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: understand the whole like you got to buy your way
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: into the friendship. But there's just there's a lot of people,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of people in this town that are
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: still living in like their uncle Rico, They're just living
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: in this purple world.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I guess, I don't know.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to describe it other than this
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: when you just see the purple in places and you're
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: just like you're still doing that, And again, I know
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: this is tag and I'm you know, I'm an advocate
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: for be you and do your own thing and do
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: whatever makes you happy, and they and they should. I'm
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: just trying to understand. Maybe they don't understand why I
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: still like Star Wars, but it taps into something.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Of youth for me. That's it.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Tapping into you know, college, when you're you know, like
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: a sixty seventy, like eighty year old man and you're
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: like wearing a purple jacket around and you're like.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: We're gonna we're gonna change the election. What are we
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: doing here? Is this?
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Is this about the fraternity or is this something else
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: going I don't know. I just don't I don't know
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: what's going on with all that. I just don't get it.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I don't get it at all. And I know all
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: my all my uh my, all of my conversations about
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: me and the things I do. I know they would
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: be very critical of all of that. That's fine. I
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: just it's just on the cars and it's just, uh,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: it's it seems like it's election years when it really
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: comes out, it's you can smell the mothballs on the
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: purple clothes, and I just I don't understand. I don't,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: you know, and there's some that they're gonna wear them
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: year round and be proud, and that's fine. Look, I
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: started a soccer team with some friends back in ninety four,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: and I can't play anymore. My body doesn't let me
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: play anymore. I wish I could still play. I coached
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: as part of the club. I coached two teams, mostly
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: at the same time, over the years that were offshoots
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: of this same soccer club. I wear clothes from you know,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: that team, that club. I still wear those around. But again,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: that's that's something that you know, me and some friends started.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: That's what that is.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: That's something that I played in with my brother for years.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: And the people that are on the team still are
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: still part of my life and people that are very
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: close to me and that I care a lot about.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: But it's.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Not a sorority and a fraternity. And I'm not talking
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: about just general I'm not talking like, you know, hey,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I was in a sorority and then once a year
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: we all get together and we you know, or a
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: couple of times a year we get together.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: That's not what I'm talking about.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about the people who are living it every day,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: all day, every day, most of the time, especially in
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: election seasons. You get to a midterm, you get to
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: a mayor's race, it's just a thing. And I don't understand.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I don't get it. I don't understand.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Are we This is why I didn't talk about it's
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: for a long time. I know I'm stepping in something,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: and that's okay. It is what it is.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I'm not meaning any of this to be derogatory or insulting.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: It probably sounds that way. I'm just trying to understand it.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't get it.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I don't understand how it's still such a thing all
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: these years later. You're you're a seventy eighty your old
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: man that's you know, wearing some kind of Greek letters
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: on their body. I mean, it's like this sad like
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: just imagine John Belushi still playing you know, Bluto all
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: these years later. I just still don't understand how this
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: can be. And it's not just a handful of people.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: It's you know, thousands of people.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: That just do it.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: And it's and and you know they're they're they're working.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: You go and you vote and they're there. You know, hey,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: we're here just sitting here working the polls, and I
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: just I don't know. I don't understand it. It's this
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: isn't anything accusatory. I'm not being I'm not trying to
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: be insulting. I'm just trying to have fun with it.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: But I still don't get it. But that's that I
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: just don't understand. Someone can explain it to me. I
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: would I would love some sort of an explanation about
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't swear on the show often, but
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: just you know, grown ass adults that are still you know,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: trying to be Uncle Rico and live in their football
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: days and whatever it is. They're still living their frat
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: house days or all these years later. Maybe there's something
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: to it that I don't get. Obviously there has to
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: be something or there's something to it that I will
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: never get and understand.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Maybe I understand it better than I think I do.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: I think I got a good grasp of it, but
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I would like to just understand why, like you can't
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: like make a different thing, just you know, create something different.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: We're still living the college days.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Somebody helped me with it. Please.

  Speaker 2: events also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: as well. Seven sixty five eight forty five hundred seven

• 21:08
  Speaker 2: dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after the break, Well,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: the days of counting sheep are no more. I don't know,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: does that actually work. Do people actually count sheep and
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: it effectively allows them to go to sleep. Well, apparently,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: now there's a new thing that involves you think about
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: something that distracts your brain. It's called cognitive shuffling. Think
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: of something that is neutral, boring enough to let sleep
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: take over. So the idea is you pick sort of
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: an emotionally neutral word like blanket. That's emotionally neutral, I guess,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: and then you let your mind go through letter by letter.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: For each letter, you.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Think of a random unrelated word that you know pops
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: in your mind and you picture it, and like if
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: you're doing blanket, you might think of a be a banana,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: you know, butterfly or something.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: L You might think about a lime or a lizard.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: And then you go through each letter.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: And the goal isn't to finish the worst, to give
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: your brain something low stress to focus on. Most people
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: drift off before they're done. First of all, the reasons
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: that this doesn't work for me is I've had a
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: pet butterfly. I would start thinking about that, you know,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: a few years ago, and actually a couple of times
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I've had pet butterflies, I would think about them. And
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: then if I got the lizard. I would think about
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: my lizard friends that live around my house, the geckos
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: and the anoles and things like that that live around.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: The blue tailed skinks. I've given them all names. That's
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: what I would think about. And then I start wondering
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: what they're doing. And then maybe I get out of
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: bed and go look for some of the geckos that are,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: you know, up near the windows trying to catch insects
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: doing their job. This wouldn't work for me, but it
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: may work for you.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Good luck. I hope it does.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: My technique for this that I've learned to counter it's
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: not so much something that's neutral. I just think of
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: an activity that I'm not necessarily skilled at. I don't
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: have carpentry skills, but I imagine myself building like a deck
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: or a shed or something I've watched videos a cabin,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: and I fall asleep by the time the foundation's even ready.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: You know, you start imagining putting the boards in and
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: securing them and all that, and then I'm out. So
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: that's my technique when I need it. It's so far
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: it's been pretty reliable in general. But I guess if
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: I get in a jam, I'll try the blanket thing
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: or whatever. I don't know that I could think of
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: a neutral word that would not steer me into something
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: that would make me want to get out of my bed.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: If your underwear drawer is filled with nylon, polyester, and spandex,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: doctors say, consider going back to old, reliable, old fashioned
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: cotton underwear. And they say the synthetic fibers trap heat
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: and moisture against the skin. It's a haven for bacteria.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: They can thrive. You don't want that anywhere in your
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: underwear zones, right, Nobody wants that. And they say breathable
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: cotton does a better job of keeping everything fresh.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: This is men and women, by the way.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: So just know you get a little bit of You
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: don't want any kind of bacterial disaster happening any in
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: any of the what do they call them the bathing
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: suit areas.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: You don't want that.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Nobody wants that, So just consider making that switch to cotton,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: or maybe even back to cotton. You probably had cotton
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: when you were a kid.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: A new study it says that moving your body does
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: a lot for your not just about your you know,
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: your body, or your your waistline or any of that.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: They say that Basically, your brain's like a dirty sponge
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: when you move, and even if you're just doing something
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: like you know, flexing your abs tensing them up, you're
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: basically squeezing the sponge, flushing out all the gunk that
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: builds up during the day. So basically it's like you know,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: a cleaning mode when you go to sleep. Researchers think
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: that a simple walk during the day acts like a
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: daytime powerwash to kind of help keep you sharper and be,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: you know, a little more on top of things without
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: if you hadn't done the exercise, you know, you need
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: the exercise to kind of help flush things out. You
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: may have heard discussions online about Chipotle's orders getting smaller,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: and there's been some some online criticism. There's been some
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: you know, people saying I'm done with those people the
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: orders of getting smaller, But apparently the CEO of Chipotle,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Scott Boatwright, says the fix is easy, just asks for
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: a little bit more. He insists the generous portions are
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: still core to the brand promises employees won't say no
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: if you speak up, I guess I have a question though,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: if you ask for more, you know, if you think
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: the meat's a little short and you ask for more meat,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: you're gonna get charged for double meat. I think that's
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: a fair question. If you were gonna pay for double meat,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: you probably would have asked for double meat to begin with.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: So I think that's These are fair questions that we have.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: But asking for a little bit more rice, a few
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: more beans, whatever, they probably aren't gonna give you a
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: whole you know, hard time about that. But if you're like,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: that's not enough chicken, I'm gonna need some more chicken.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Are you getting a double charge? What's happening there? That'll
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: do it for this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks
• 26:48
