Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews you need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. This is the West Carol Morning.
0:08
Speaker 2: Show, Tuesday morning, June twenty fourth. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:14
Speaker 2: joining me. It is another day coming to you from sunny,
0:21
Speaker 2: yet cooler Northern Queensland here in Australia where we are
0:25
Speaker 2: on our family vacation, but still working doing the shows
0:31
Speaker 2: for you as we're here, and weather significantly cooler than
0:37
Speaker 2: what you guys are experiencing there in the Chattahoochee Valley
0:40
Speaker 2: in large parts of the US because in the southern
0:44
Speaker 2: hemisphere we have I don't know what kind of bird
0:47
Speaker 2: that was if you heard that, surrounded by birds, including
0:52
Speaker 2: a scoop of pelicans nearby, probably the same ones from yesterday,
0:56
Speaker 2: and getting a variety of birds joining me. I guess
1:00
Speaker 2: they think because I'm in this little park area at
1:03
Speaker 2: a picnic bench, maybe they think there's going to be
1:06
Speaker 2: some food brought out, but not necessarily the case. I
1:10
Speaker 2: am a little closer to traffic this morning. I don't
1:12
Speaker 2: know how much of that's going to bleed in. I'll
1:14
Speaker 2: listen to that a little bit before I post this,
1:19
Speaker 2: but just to give you a heads up if you're
1:21
Speaker 2: hearing any sort of traffic noise or more than yesterday.
1:24
Speaker 2: That's why the Quantus flight that headed south just took
1:30
Speaker 2: off and left before I started, so we don't have
1:32
Speaker 2: that this morning like we did yesterday. Anyway, I'm just
1:37
Speaker 2: for reference sake, and we're going to be talking about
1:39
Speaker 2: some time sensitive things. I know, So for reference sake,
1:44
Speaker 2: I am getting up in the morning and doing the show.
1:48
Speaker 2: Morning here is about fourteen hours ahead of morning there,
1:53
Speaker 2: so I'll be doing some topics that I have to
1:57
Speaker 2: reference and just let you know I'm basically doing this
2:01
Speaker 2: as of recording, because I know things are changing pretty quickly.
2:05
Speaker 2: Anytime you do a show where you're recording it ahead
2:09
Speaker 2: of time in any way as podcasts are, you're not
2:13
Speaker 2: really getting up to the minute updates on it. And
2:15
Speaker 2: that's one of the reasons I say I don't really
2:18
Speaker 2: talk so much about weather issues and things like that
2:21
Speaker 2: very often. If it's a major weather event that's worth
2:24
Speaker 2: referencing on the show, we talk about it. If it's
2:28
Speaker 2: not necessarily a major weather issue, I don't talk about it.
2:31
Speaker 2: And I try to do that sort of thing when
2:34
Speaker 2: it comes to things like you know, countries bombing one
2:38
Speaker 2: another or firing missiles at one another. That of course
2:42
Speaker 2: is also relevant to the topic, and I feel like
2:46
Speaker 2: it's important to stress that as of recording, there's a
2:48
Speaker 2: few things that have happened just in the overnight for us,
2:53
Speaker 2: which was not overnight for you. And I'm waking up
2:57
Speaker 2: to find some news this morning, as I normally do.
2:59
Speaker 2: This is my this is my routine, and I get
3:03
Speaker 2: up in the mornings and I start doing my recording
3:07
Speaker 2: and talking about So a few things that have taken
3:11
Speaker 2: place in the overnight are definitely worth mentioning and worth
3:18
Speaker 2: talking about. And that's where we're going to start this morning.
3:22
Speaker 2: As last night for us. It's important that I sort
3:28
Speaker 2: of say that, because yes, I'm on the other side
3:30
Speaker 2: of the world. I'm in a different hemisphere, and I'm
3:32
Speaker 2: sitting in much cooler weather. Not taunting you, I know
3:36
Speaker 2: many of you. As the weather we'll get a lot
3:38
Speaker 2: hotter this week there in the US, and I know
3:42
Speaker 2: I've seen some ninety nine's and one hundreds in the
3:46
Speaker 2: forecast for home, so it's quite a bit different here
3:52
Speaker 2: starting the day in the sixties, but this northern part
3:56
Speaker 2: of the country, it's in the tropics, so it will
3:58
Speaker 2: get a little warmer than than further south in the
4:02
Speaker 2: in Australia, much like the northern part of the US. Anyway,
4:05
Speaker 2: So in the overnight, the Iran has fired six missiles
4:14
Speaker 2: at the US at the base in Qatar. And we
4:18
Speaker 2: wake up this morning, and I say overnight. The response
4:22
Speaker 2: from President Trump on truth Social was basically that the
4:30
Speaker 2: US was not planning an immediate response to what had
4:36
Speaker 2: taken place in those attacks. From Hi, got some kids
4:43
Speaker 2: on their way to school. You just got off to
4:44
Speaker 2: school this morning. Nice, have fun. My boys are on
4:49
Speaker 2: vacation and they're inside sleeping. We're here from the US,
4:53
Speaker 2: so yeah, they don't they're inside sleeping. They don't have
4:56
Speaker 2: to go to school this morning. So but have fun,
5:00
Speaker 2: all right. Some kids on their scooters and bikes heading
5:02
Speaker 2: off this morning. It's all happening in real time, isn't it.
5:05
Speaker 2: They said good morning to me. That was nice. I
5:07
Speaker 2: was expecting a gooday, but I got a good morning anyway.
5:11
Speaker 2: The presidents saying that the fourteen overall missiles that were
5:16
Speaker 2: fired from Iran, all but one of them was taken
5:21
Speaker 2: care of by US forces to knock them out of
5:25
Speaker 2: the sky. That fourteenth one, he said, was allowed to
5:30
Speaker 2: go on where it was heading because it was heading
5:34
Speaker 2: to an area where it couldn't do any damage at all,
5:38
Speaker 2: so it wasn't anything to be concerned about. And there
5:42
Speaker 2: were six that were fired towards the Bass at Qatar,
5:46
Speaker 2: and that particular attack was done in direct response to
5:52
Speaker 2: the six bunker busters that the US sent into Iran,
5:57
Speaker 2: into those nuclear facilities. There's nuclear sites, and Iran's basically
6:03
Speaker 2: announced that they did a response, a retaliation. President Trump
6:08
Speaker 2: says it was a weak one, but they've done it,
6:10
Speaker 2: and that now he's ready to move forward with peace talks.
6:13
Speaker 2: I'm definitely paraphrasing it. His was much more long winded,
6:16
Speaker 2: and I think it was a few insults in there,
6:20
Speaker 2: as sometimes happens, that show of strength that we know
6:25
Speaker 2: Trump does that. Folks who like him love it, those
6:29
Speaker 2: who don't like him hate it. I don't know the
6:31
Speaker 2: people in the middle. I don't know where they are
6:33
Speaker 2: anymore these days, because this last election showed us that
6:36
Speaker 2: a lot of them actually do support him more than
6:39
Speaker 2: I think the folks on the far left want to admit.
6:42
Speaker 2: So we have that response. No immediate plans for the
6:47
Speaker 2: US to do anything else, and the President calling for peace,
6:53
Speaker 2: for peace talks. He wants Iran to come to the table,
6:56
Speaker 2: he wants Israel to come to the table, and that's
6:59
Speaker 2: of course been goal. So that's where we are at
7:03
Speaker 2: this moment as I'm recording. A lot can happen before
7:07
Speaker 2: tomorrow show. What I want to say is, it's been
7:11
Speaker 2: It's interesting also being in another country while all of
7:14
Speaker 2: these things are taking place. I was in Australia. My
7:18
Speaker 2: first trip here took place during the Bill Clinton, Monica
7:24
Speaker 2: Lewinsky whatever you want to call it, fiasco, embarrassment, It
7:32
Speaker 2: was one of those situations. Then where and this is
7:34
Speaker 2: just a story really of how things have changed so
7:37
Speaker 2: much in you know, over the years. And my first
7:43
Speaker 2: trip here was early ninety six, I think, so just
7:50
Speaker 2: for time reference, we're approaching thirty years since my first
7:55
Speaker 2: trip here and that taking place. Then you come into
8:00
Speaker 2: a country where a lot of people wanted to talk
8:02
Speaker 2: about it. A lot of people wanted to ask, Hey,
8:05
Speaker 2: there's an American, let's ask him what he thinks about
8:07
Speaker 2: what's going on with Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. I
8:10
Speaker 2: didn't have a lot of answers. I could tell him, yeah,
8:13
Speaker 2: it's pretty bad. It feels really embarrassing as an American
8:17
Speaker 2: knowing all this is kind of being dragged out. It
8:20
Speaker 2: felt like in so many ways, you know, all your
8:25
Speaker 2: country's underwear being just kind of thrown out on the
8:28
Speaker 2: front lawn for everybody to see. I don't know what
8:30
Speaker 2: to compare it to, but it really felt like that
8:34
Speaker 2: sort of embarrassing thing that as an American we were
8:38
Speaker 2: all really rolling our eyes at. And then this thing
8:41
Speaker 2: was really taking place. And I was not a Bill
8:44
Speaker 2: Clinton supporter. I wasn't a Bill Clinton fan. He was
8:51
Speaker 2: not my guy. I didn't vote for him. But what
8:55
Speaker 2: was interesting about all of that is at that time,
8:59
Speaker 2: we were in a peer where people still supported their
9:03
Speaker 2: president even if it wasn't their candidate. And I know
9:06
Speaker 2: not everybody did that, but it was much more common
9:09
Speaker 2: for that to be the case, especially during some sort
9:12
Speaker 2: of an incident like that. So when people here would
9:17
Speaker 2: ask how do you feel about it? How do you
9:19
Speaker 2: feel about what's going on? I would, you know, be
9:22
Speaker 2: honest and candidate and say, you know, give my thoughts
9:26
Speaker 2: on it. But when people came in and insulted him
9:31
Speaker 2: and took shots at him, it very much felt like,
9:36
Speaker 2: you know, if you've got siblings. If someone says something
9:39
Speaker 2: negative about your sibling, even if you say a million
9:42
Speaker 2: negative things about your sibling, as soon as someone that's
9:45
Speaker 2: not in the family says something, that's when you get
9:48
Speaker 2: a little defensive. That's when you get your hackles up
9:50
Speaker 2: and you say I can say it, you can't. And
9:54
Speaker 2: that's the way things were then, and things have changed
9:57
Speaker 2: so much now that even in the US, you're not
10:00
Speaker 2: supposed to defend the president in public. You're not supposed
10:04
Speaker 2: to say anything positive about him. You're not supposed to
10:07
Speaker 2: in any way defend his actions. And there's been a
10:11
Speaker 2: lot of talk on social media about the fact that,
10:14
Speaker 2: you know, President Obama while in office, dropped a lot
10:20
Speaker 2: of bombs on a lot of places, attacked places strategic
10:26
Speaker 2: targets while in office. And I can remember the sense
10:31
Speaker 2: during even that of you know, you just kind of go,
10:35
Speaker 2: you know, you don't want to see any lives lost.
10:38
Speaker 2: And I do think that over the years we have
10:41
Speaker 2: been very careful about places that we've attacked, very strategic
10:45
Speaker 2: with places that we've attacked. I know there have been
10:48
Speaker 2: incidents where there have been casualties that weren't intended. I
10:52
Speaker 2: know there were situations even during the Obama administration, where
10:59
Speaker 2: the attacks are you know, planned, strategic, and in some
11:03
Speaker 2: cases people said, oh, well they've hit some civilians or
11:06
Speaker 2: those things, and you always feel for that. If you're
11:09
Speaker 2: the kind of person that really looks at the big
11:11
Speaker 2: picture with it, you start thinking about where is this
11:13
Speaker 2: going to lead? Is this going to lead to something
11:15
Speaker 2: much worse? Is this a show of strength that the
11:18
Speaker 2: US needs to have? And yes, Barack Obama as president
11:23
Speaker 2: had those moments where he did that many times, and
11:29
Speaker 2: he was supported for doing it often even by people
11:32
Speaker 2: on the right. There were some that were critical, but
11:35
Speaker 2: in general, I think it was a pretty solid support
11:40
Speaker 2: at least of our president. And now, of course we
11:43
Speaker 2: have a president who is something very different. I think
11:47
Speaker 2: the two I think Obama and Trump both have that
11:52
Speaker 2: culture personality. They talk about their two presidents who I
11:57
Speaker 2: don't no one saw coming on the first go around.
12:01
Speaker 2: It certainly felt like Obama was going to become something
12:05
Speaker 2: really special on the left for them, and that's exactly
12:08
Speaker 2: what he became. I think he definitely paved the way
12:11
Speaker 2: for a Trump presidency to take place and have someone
12:14
Speaker 2: sort of rise from nowhere where people thought, oh, he's
12:18
Speaker 2: just a celebrity, he's not really a political guy. But
12:21
Speaker 2: we're in this phase now. And to tie it back
12:24
Speaker 2: to what happened during the Clinton situation is it's now
12:30
Speaker 2: so different. Even within the US, we don't defend our president.
12:34
Speaker 2: We have people that are critical of him and they
12:36
Speaker 2: need to be reminded that every president needs to at
12:40
Speaker 2: times be the commander in chief and command the armed forces,
12:45
Speaker 2: and people don't seem to want him to do that.
12:48
Speaker 2: Is there potential for this to lead to war? Every
12:51
Speaker 2: time shots are fired, there's potential for this to lead
12:54
Speaker 2: to war. And obviously this is on a much smaller scale,
12:59
Speaker 2: but we've actually got to this point now where when
13:01
Speaker 2: you're driving and the car in front of you is
13:04
Speaker 2: clearly staring at their phone at the red light and
13:06
Speaker 2: the light changes to green and the car doesn't move,
13:10
Speaker 2: and you take a second, maybe longer, to blow your
13:14
Speaker 2: horn to tell them please move on, it's the light's green.
13:18
Speaker 2: Because you just don't ever know you're going to catch
13:20
Speaker 2: somebody in the wrong mood on the wrong day and
13:22
Speaker 2: they're ready for a fistfight, or they're ready to get
13:24
Speaker 2: out with a bat or worse, and there's always that
13:30
Speaker 2: feeling of anytime a shot is fired on the national scene,
13:36
Speaker 2: you just don't know where it's going to lead. And
13:39
Speaker 2: the US does have to have moments where strength is shown.
13:42
Speaker 2: We just had a presidency where we came across as
13:46
Speaker 2: very weak to the world. And I'm not advocating for
13:49
Speaker 2: throwing a punch just for the sake of throwing a punch,
13:52
Speaker 2: and I don't feel like that's what we've just done
13:55
Speaker 2: in our attacks on those nuclear sites in a Row.
14:00
Speaker 2: I think that there's a certain, obviously a level of
14:05
Speaker 2: concern for those sites, those locations and trying to enrich
14:10
Speaker 2: uranium and get to a point where they were ready
14:13
Speaker 2: to do something really horrible potentially, and obviously with Israel,
14:18
Speaker 2: they are trying to do what they could to incapacitate
14:22
Speaker 2: those things and maybe not quite ready to do that
14:26
Speaker 2: the way that we were able to do it. And
14:28
Speaker 2: you know, by most accounts the missions were successful. From
14:31
Speaker 2: our military, the press, the media, the folks on the
14:36
Speaker 2: left certainly don't want to acknowledge that maybe they were
14:38
Speaker 2: successful or that maybe they went the way that they should.
14:41
Speaker 2: But I think that's a really unfortunate place that we're in.
14:45
Speaker 2: Because I just did a show recently where I was
14:48
Speaker 2: talking about how we can't seem to unify on anything.
14:52
Speaker 2: And typically when there's some sort of a major threat
14:55
Speaker 2: or a worldwide threat, even in a movie, you know,
14:58
Speaker 2: you see, oh, an alien attack, that's what it takes
15:00
Speaker 2: to get both sides to unite or countries to unite
15:03
Speaker 2: and get along. And you know, I was talking about
15:06
Speaker 2: that in context of all of the strife in the
15:09
Speaker 2: Middle East, and it's very much the case when it
15:12
Speaker 2: comes to our politics. We just typically if there's some
15:16
Speaker 2: sort of a problem on the world stage, we can
15:19
Speaker 2: at least unite in that and there's at least some
15:22
Speaker 2: sense of that's my president and you can't say that
15:27
Speaker 2: about him, And it doesn't feel that way anymore. And
15:30
Speaker 2: I know that the world has gotten smaller. We have
15:33
Speaker 2: been watching news here trying to follow everything that's going on,
15:40
Speaker 2: and I do think that sadly because a lot of
15:43
Speaker 2: our news, our media is skewed so far left that
15:47
Speaker 2: that's what trickles out in larger doses to the rest
15:50
Speaker 2: of the world, and they're not getting a lot of
15:53
Speaker 2: our more conservative news. Is there conservative media here? Of course,
15:57
Speaker 2: there is. There's an equivalent to Fox News or Newsmax
16:02
Speaker 2: or one of those, but it's not necessarily. They see
16:08
Speaker 2: the mainstream, widespread media that makes it here, and a
16:12
Speaker 2: lot of them are sort of playing on that. And
16:15
Speaker 2: that's what was so refreshing to me what I talked
16:17
Speaker 2: about in yesterday's show about the Uber driver that I
16:21
Speaker 2: had who had questions and she just said, look, it
16:24
Speaker 2: can't be what I'm hearing. It has to be different.
16:27
Speaker 2: So I'd love to get an American's perspective on it.
16:30
Speaker 2: And I said, well, a coincidence. You've gotten an American
16:32
Speaker 2: who's been covering politics in some capacity since two thousand
16:37
Speaker 2: and seven, so I can talk about it. I'm very tired,
16:40
Speaker 2: I'm very jetlagged, but I can talk about it in
16:43
Speaker 2: a very short Uber ride and that's what we did.
16:47
Speaker 2: But like I said, it's nice, and we talked about
16:50
Speaker 2: this yesterday. It's nice when to know that there are
16:52
Speaker 2: people around the world that are at least asking questions.
16:54
Speaker 2: I wish that we had more people in the US
16:57
Speaker 2: asking questions. I guess we did, and that was in
17:00
Speaker 2: the results of this past election for US. But as
17:04
Speaker 2: things start to heat up a little, then maybe cool down.
17:08
Speaker 2: At least as of my recording this morning, hopefully there
17:12
Speaker 2: will be some peace talks that can begin, and that
17:16
Speaker 2: maybe that show of strength will help push that forward
17:19
Speaker 2: a little bit. By most accounts, and I said this yesterday,
17:23
Speaker 2: I'm certainly not an expert on this particular front when
17:27
Speaker 2: it comes to the geopolitical scene, but hearing from people
17:32
Speaker 2: that are saying, look, Iran had to do something. They
17:35
Speaker 2: had to do some sort of flex back to show
17:39
Speaker 2: that they weren't just going to be pushed around just
17:42
Speaker 2: for their own people, and that seems to be the
17:45
Speaker 2: consensus by most is that they had to do that.
17:48
Speaker 2: And if they just fired, like I said, the tit
17:50
Speaker 2: for tat, if they just fired six missiles because we
17:53
Speaker 2: had six bombs and that's the end of that, then
17:57
Speaker 2: maybe some sort of discussion can come as they start
18:00
Speaker 2: to try to recoup and rebuild and whatever it is
18:02
Speaker 2: that their next plans are. But for the most part,
18:07
Speaker 2: you know, you're hearing a lot of talk about is
18:09
Speaker 2: this going to be the Berlin Wall moment for Iran
18:12
Speaker 2: as their exiled prince who is starting to say, hey,
18:17
Speaker 2: this has so much potential for us to get our
18:21
Speaker 2: country back and to get things back to where they
18:23
Speaker 2: haven't been for fifty years. I don't know how this
18:25
Speaker 2: plays out. I can't pretend to know how it plays out,
18:28
Speaker 2: and all that's going to happen for us is going
18:30
Speaker 2: to be time is going to pass. But I do
18:34
Speaker 2: know that as Americans, we have to realize that no
18:38
Speaker 2: matter who your president is, like him or not, it's
18:41
Speaker 2: still your president, and they are acting on behalf of
18:45
Speaker 2: hopefully the best interests of not just the world, but
18:50
Speaker 2: for the US and for our allies. And being on
18:54
Speaker 2: a family vacation in a country that is one of
18:57
Speaker 2: our main allies, this has definitely raised an eyebrow for
19:03
Speaker 2: us as we're traveling more over the next few weeks
19:07
Speaker 2: here in this country and eventually planning to come home,
19:10
Speaker 2: so tracking all of that. But again, as I'm here,
19:16
Speaker 2: when someone brings up Trump, no matter they're certainly allowed
19:20
Speaker 2: to have their opinions on it, I don't understand why
19:23
Speaker 2: they feel like they have a better grasp on it,
19:26
Speaker 2: maybe than the average American, or better maybe they do
19:29
Speaker 2: than the average American. I don't know, but I like
19:31
Speaker 2: to think that I have a better grasp of it
19:33
Speaker 2: than some. But again, careful, it's my president, not yours.
19:40
Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca
19:43
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center.
19:45
Speaker 3: Hey everyone, this is doctor Sean Crusin. I'm the executive
19:48
Speaker 3: director of Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
19:52
Speaker 3: I want to tell you about a very special exhibit
19:55
Speaker 3: that we have on display the summer. It's so big
19:59
Speaker 3: that it can't even fit in our own exhibit gallery.
20:01
Speaker 3: It's just too many pieces. This is a collection of
20:06
Speaker 3: items from the personal collection of astronaut David R.
20:10
Speaker 2: Scott.
20:11
Speaker 3: Dave Scott flew on Gemini eight with Neil Armstrong. He
20:15
Speaker 3: flew on Apollo nine, a dress rehearsal for the moon landing,
20:18
Speaker 3: and then most importantly perhaps he commanded Apollo fifteen, where
20:22
Speaker 3: he became the first person to ever drive a car
20:25
Speaker 3: on the service of the Moon. Because Dave's brother, Tom
20:29
Speaker 3: lived and worked here in Columbus, Georgia with our Columbus
20:31
Speaker 3: Chamber of Commerce, we got to be good friends with Tom.
20:34
Speaker 3: Tom has coordinated a very generous donation of artifacts and
20:38
Speaker 3: memorabilia from the Scott brothers collection to us here at
20:43
Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center. And again that collection got
20:46
Speaker 3: so overwhelmingly large we couldn't put it on display here.
20:49
Speaker 3: That's why we're doing the exhibit at the Bow Bartlett Center.
20:52
Speaker 3: They are open from eleven am to four pm Tuesday
20:56
Speaker 3: through Saturday. Go down and check out this great exhibit
20:59
Speaker 3: on display at the Bull Bartlett Center. Check out all
21:02
Speaker 3: the other wonderful pieces of arn't work down there as well,
21:05
Speaker 3: and then come visit us here at Columbus State University's
21:07
Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center.
21:09
Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
21:12
Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
21:17
Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
21:21
Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
21:25
Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
21:28
Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of square and that
21:31
Speaker 2: away for you, and while they're there, you can always
21:33
Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
21:36
Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
21:40
Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
21:42
Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
21:45
Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
21:49
Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
21:52
Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got.
21:55
Speaker 2: With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in
21:59
Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
22:02
Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
22:05
Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
22:07
Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
22:12
Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
22:13
Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
22:16
Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
22:18
Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
22:21
Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
22:23
Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
22:26
Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
22:29
Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
22:32
Speaker 2: and they do those as well. Seven oh six thy

Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show. Right after the break well day one
22:55
Speaker 2: on this trip, I promised you I was not going
22:57
Speaker 2: to taunt you too much about the weather and this
23:00
Speaker 2: I promise That's not what I'm doing here. We're in
23:05
Speaker 2: cooler weather here, but we are still in sunny northern Queensland,
23:10
Speaker 2: which is lots of sunshine, and this is a country
23:14
Speaker 2: that is very sensitive to heat, very sensitive to making
23:20
Speaker 2: sure that sunscreen is applied. And I know, as summer's
23:24
Speaker 2: really kicking in there, I think it's important that we
23:28
Speaker 2: take a look at some of what experts are talking
23:30
Speaker 2: about parts of the country. As they're saying with record
23:34
Speaker 2: high temperatures coming, they like to say record high. They
23:37
Speaker 2: love to say record high. They want to scare you.
23:41
Speaker 2: They want to scare you, don't they record high temperatures coming,
23:46
Speaker 2: And the fact that there are some things to be
23:49
Speaker 2: concerned about and some tips as you get into summer.
23:52
Speaker 2: And I'm just going to tell you one of the
23:55
Speaker 2: big ones that I've had multiple experiences with, and I've
23:57
Speaker 2: been candid with this on the show. I believe it
24:00
Speaker 2: was last June I started talking about the importance of
24:03
Speaker 2: hydrating because summertime is when things like kidney stones can
24:09
Speaker 2: become a real problem, typically by late summer. I think
24:13
Speaker 2: every time I've had a kidney stone and has been
24:15
Speaker 2: in August or at least late July and August, I've
24:20
Speaker 2: started to have an expression now even with my pastor
24:23
Speaker 2: at church about how I got to hydrate because August
24:27
Speaker 2: is coming. Last year I had kidney stones in August.
24:30
Speaker 2: So yes, reminder, this is a time when you really
24:34
Speaker 2: start loading up on hydrating. You should really be, especially
24:39
Speaker 2: if you're going to be outside in the heat and
24:42
Speaker 2: you're going to be doing summer activities in the heat,
24:46
Speaker 2: you need to be very ready to hydrate very much. Remember,
24:49
Speaker 2: don't keep kids or pets in parked cars, even just
24:52
Speaker 2: for a minute, if you're in some of these extreme
24:54
Speaker 2: heat places. Dressing in loose, light colored breathable material is
25:00
Speaker 2: the recommendation. Also, sunscreen. Reapplying sunscreen, that's something I think
25:07
Speaker 2: that we don't do a great job of in the
25:10
Speaker 2: US in general. I'm in a country where they will
25:13
Speaker 2: definitely like right now, I probably should have some on,
25:15
Speaker 2: but it's still very early in the morning. So looking
25:19
Speaker 2: at weather apps for UV indexes and heat alerts is
25:22
Speaker 2: another reminder. If the heat indexes one oh five or higher,
25:25
Speaker 2: they say you should be indoors and being aware of
25:29
Speaker 2: things like risks for different groups kids, seniors, people who
25:33
Speaker 2: are pregnant, outdoor workers, if there's a roofer in your life,
25:37
Speaker 2: for crying out loud. They know. I think they know
25:41
Speaker 2: by this point, but hopefully they might benefit from an
25:45
Speaker 2: occasional reminder if they're not doing all the things they
25:47
Speaker 2: should do and then being aware of things like heatstroke,
25:50
Speaker 2: What the symptoms are altered consciousness, confusion, emotional instability, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness.
25:57
Speaker 2: You don't want any of those things if you're really
25:59
Speaker 2: hot any way, all right, how about this? Men way
26:03
Speaker 2: more likely to think they can navigate without a GPS.
26:08
Speaker 2: That's because men know everything right, don't need help. Sometimes
26:14
Speaker 2: we feel that way. So about two thirds of men
26:17
Speaker 2: believe they're good at navigating roads without a GPS, compared
26:21
Speaker 2: with women at just forty one percent, and eleven percent
26:24
Speaker 2: of men admitted that they are poor or terrible at
26:27
Speaker 2: finding their way around, as opposed to twenty two percent
26:29
Speaker 2: of women. Eighty percent of men fifty six percent of
26:32
Speaker 2: women agree with the statement my sense of direction is
26:37
Speaker 2: very good. And just a quarter of men say that
26:39
Speaker 2: they let someone else do the navigational planning for long trips.
26:43
Speaker 2: I can tell you this. I'm in that group that says, yes, please,
26:46
Speaker 2: someone help me with the navigation, even getting around Australia,
26:51
Speaker 2: just in a town that I've spent many months in.
26:54
Speaker 2: Yesterday I had Luke working the GPS for me just
26:57
Speaker 2: to get to the store that's about five minutes away
26:59
Speaker 2: by car, but I still wanted help. They got a
27:01
Speaker 2: lot more roundabouts than we do. Are you being pocketed?
27:07
Speaker 2: It's a dating trend where one person in a relationship
27:10
Speaker 2: avoids introducing their partner to their friends and family, or
27:13
Speaker 2: even acknowledging the relationship on social media, keeping them hidden
27:17
Speaker 2: or pocketed away. Experts say, while painful, being pocketed could
27:21
Speaker 2: be more about them than about you, and they could
27:25
Speaker 2: be operating from a place of fear or hurt from
27:27
Speaker 2: past relationships, or they could be treading lightly because they
27:31
Speaker 2: are really into you and not sure how to handle
27:34
Speaker 2: their feelings. With that said, those who are being pocketed
27:38
Speaker 2: because they're being insincere or want to appear single, they
27:42
Speaker 2: can date other people, and that's certainly a thing sometimes.
27:45
Speaker 2: Bottom line is, if you feel like you're being pocketed,
27:48
Speaker 2: you have to have an honest conversation with the person
27:50
Speaker 2: you're with about it and proceed as the two of
27:55
Speaker 2: you in that communication decide is what's best for you.
27:59
Speaker 2: But kind of have some understanding. Maybe there's some reasons
28:03
Speaker 2: that they're doing that to you. All right, that'll do
28:06
