The news, opinions, commentary and interviews you need to start your day.
0:06
You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show. Thursday morning, ninth day of
0:12
November. I'm Wes. Thanks for joining me two weeks to Thanksgiving. I
0:17
know I keep saying that I just want to make it on your radar.
0:20
I have to remind myself, and I feel like maybe it's helpful in some
0:24
way to remind you something happened. It's annoying to me on a number of
0:33
levels. Probably the most annoying part of it is that it's going to force
0:38
me now on this show to talk about someone that I really try not to
0:44
even have anywhere on my radar, but he has now put himself on my
0:49
radar sadly, and I feel a need to speak about something that he's done.
1:00
Now. If you have kids that are teenagers, even you know,
1:06
like the tweens, maybe even I don't know, Probably it's probably a window
1:11
of about eight years old up until about twenty five where people know who this
1:17
person is. You may know who he is because of having kids like that
1:22
in your life. I find him obnoxious on most days, but on this
1:30
particular day, I find him to be attacked, and I don't really understand
1:40
why in this particular case, so and I'm going to give you that I
1:45
don't know all the nuts and bolts of exactly what was done, so I
1:49
can't speak to all the details of it. What I can tell you,
1:55
though, is that the YouTuber an entrepreneur who goes by the name mister Beast
2:04
makes me a little physically ill just saying it the number of times I've had
2:07
to say it before to my kids as far as addressing I don't know something
2:14
that they saw him supposedly do or whatever. And you know, the nature
2:20
of his show is that he supposedly is just giving away all these giant piles
2:24
of cash to people, and I try to just tell my kids, hey,
2:28
just be realistic for a minute and understand that I don't know all the
2:32
details about these giant piles of cash that he gives away. I do know
2:38
that he's made quite the name for himself giving away cash or whatever he's doing.
2:45
And I know that he's, you know, apparently extremely wealthy, so
2:51
much so that he has now put one hundred wells in Africa to bring clean
3:00
drinking water to people in Africa that didn't have it before. And the idea
3:07
here is that he's you know, got the money to do this and he
3:14
wants to do something productive and positive. Now, one of the things about
3:17
this guy, and I'll tell you and this is I'm speaking all from opinion,
3:23
is he's very much he wasn't going to do this without making sure everybody
3:29
knew that he did it. Okay, that's that would be. If there's
3:31
a complaint, that would be the complaint. And it's not necessarily the worst
3:38
thing in the world. I think the net gain in all of this is
3:40
that he did it right. That should be the end of the discussion,
3:45
as Wow, this guy helped make this happen a hundred wells. I don't
3:50
know as far as the spacing. I'm assuming that they're probably spread around in
3:54
greatly changing the lives of probably maybe as many as one hundred communities. I
4:00
don't know. I don't, Like I said, I don't know the whole
4:01
details on it. What I do know is that there are activists that are
4:09
very annoyed. They see the white savior trope playing out here that you see
4:14
in movies. And let's see this organization called Face Africa. Saran Keba Jones
4:26
the founder says, I've been doing this for fifteen years, but we've been
4:29
struggling to continue the work because funding, awareness, and advocacy all take work.
4:34
Overnight. This person comes along who happens to be a white male figure
4:39
with a huge platform, and all of a sudden he gets all of the
4:42
attention. It's kind of frustrating, but it's also understanding the nature of how
4:46
the world is. And then she said, I guess a thank you of
4:50
some sort. Now, some on social media have been pointing out the fact
4:57
that I get I don't know if all of these were InCAR or but there
5:00
were some in Kenya that have been pointing out the fact that there's been failures
5:05
by the Kenyan government and that basically this idea that probably I don't know,
5:15
goes back to the we are the world days, that Africa needs funding from
5:19
around the world and depended on people outside of Africa to fix their problems,
5:25
and that that apparently is a stereotype, that is apparently, you know,
5:30
something that is perceived at the very least by some of the people in Africa.
5:36
They feel it, they feel like, you know, that's the way
5:40
some parts of the world feel about them. I get that. I mean,
5:46
I do think that when you go back to the you know, the
5:47
we are the world days and the do they know it's Christmas? Any of
5:54
those things, right, you get to all those whichever one was for made.
5:59
But the point is that this is a stereotype that's in place at least
6:05
at least we are the world USA for Africa. I guess that you could
6:09
go back to that. All right, So here's the here's the thing you
6:14
have. You have this guy, this YouTuber that has done this, and
6:18
people are going after him for trying to be like a white savior to them.
6:24
And again, I think the net gain in all of this, and
6:28
what it sounds like is that the complaint is not that he's trying to,
6:32
you know, get the attention for it and making YouTube videos and all those
6:35
sorts of things with it. The complaint is that because they're saying he's getting
6:42
attention and the credit for it and we're not. So it sounds like just
6:46
by saying that this Face Africa organization wants the credit, which I don't get
6:55
me wrong, they've been working for really Like to me, I would find
7:00
a way to connect with this guy is mister beast Percy Beast, whatever his
7:06
name is. I don't know his first name, but I would connect with
7:10
this guy. It's not Percy. I would connect with this guy and say,
7:13
hey, look, we've been trying to get things done. How can
7:15
we work together. That's what I would do. That would be my reaction
7:19
to it. I understand there's got to be some frustration, but the net
7:23
gain here is that people are able to get access to clean water in areas
7:30
where they didn't have it before. That should be the entire focus. And
7:36
this is proving. I mean, this is someone who has succeeded because of
7:43
free markets, because of capitalism. This is someone who has an abundance of
7:46
wealth and is able to take that and help other people. And I think
7:51
that, at its core is part of the problem here, because we know
7:56
the way our government works. They don't want church and individuals to help people
8:01
with their problems. They go after churches in general because they don't want churches
8:07
involved. The government wants to be the one that's solving the problems. They'd
8:11
like to know that if money from the US was going to Africa to dig
8:15
wells, they'd like to think that it was tax money that they took went
8:20
through bureaucrats and people got their share here and got their share there, and
8:24
the yeah, I don't know, one hundred million dollars to do this gets
8:26
whittled down to, you know, enough to maybe do one or two wells
8:31
because everybody's got to get their share of it. You got to pay all
8:33
the people that file all the paperwork. Right. So again I don't know
8:37
the details. I can't tell you the inner workings of it. This seems
8:41
like a genuine positive thing that someone has done, and he's not careful he's
8:48
going to make me like him. I don't really dislike him. I'm just
8:52
one of those people that says, like, when I hear my kids talking
8:54
about him, I go, oh gosh, again, you're watching another one
8:56
of these things. And it's always some And I'll be honest. There was
9:01
a point maybe where I watched a couple of his videos where it's, you
9:03
know, me and my friends are going to pleat hide and seek and whoever
9:07
finds the last one gets a million dollars, and I'm like, he's not
9:11
really giving anybody a million dollars. I think, are we buying this anyway?
9:16
Sounds good? It gets the attention of kids, okay, And I
9:20
don't know if he's given them. I don't have a clue. I don't
9:22
I don't know if he's given them. I mean, there's a joke that
9:24
runs that he's not given him any money. And I don't care. I
9:28
do care. That he gave clean water to people in Africa. That's fantastic.
9:33
He should be applauded for it. If it's all exactly what it seems
9:37
to be good for him I've been talking about now. We've just come out
9:41
of the election day for this year. In a couple of states, we
9:46
had Ohio and a few other states that they had abortion on the ballot.
9:52
They wanted to, you know, allow abortion access and they wanted to certify
9:58
that on the state constitution for Ohio, and it passed. On one hand,
10:07
I'll just say this, this goes back to the spirit of what the
10:11
reason Roe v. Wade was overturned. It was so that states could make
10:13
these decisions. I'm also just on a personal note, when I watch any
10:20
sort of streaming service for some reason, they seek the word Columbus and they
10:22
assume we're in Ohio and we have to watch all the ads for abortion.
10:28
Those are done now we don't have to see that. What a waste of
10:30
money that was to run ads in Columbus Georgia for Ohio's abortion vote. But
10:35
anyway, the point is we had some elections based on the abortion rights in
10:46
states, and that's one of them. It was pasted. They got their
10:50
changes so they could make guarantee some rights for the people there in Ohio.
10:58
And I talked about this not long ago when the Vice President was being interviewed
11:03
on CBS and was asked, at what point, how many weeks would you
11:09
and the Democrats be willing to say, is a fair amount of weeks?
11:13
For I'm going to connect this, I promise is a fair amount of weeks
11:18
to allow abortions up till that point. Because you've got Republicans now that Roe
11:26
v. Wade's overturned there now as some of them are starting to discuss the
11:28
possibility of a compromise, let's come up with a number of weeks. See,
11:35
the left wants the narrative that all Republicans want no abortions, no matter
11:39
the circumstance. Nothing to save the life of the mother, nothing in case
11:43
of rape or incest. They say that that's what Republicans want. And there.
11:48
I'm sure are some Republicans who feel that way, but that is not
11:52
what the majority of folks on the right feel. Okay, I don't know
11:58
many Republicans per personally that would say rape incess life of the mother. Now
12:03
you know whether or not doctors are exaggerating the situation for life of the mother.
12:09
Sometimes that probably happens in some places, But that doesn't necessarily mean that
12:15
Republicans are saying, well, we can't have that at all. Some maybe
12:20
right, doesn't mean they all are. Conversely, there's a lot of Democrats
12:26
that are moderate about it. They think there should be a cutoff point.
12:28
They think it should be twenty weeks or fifteen or sixteen weeks, right.
12:35
But there are some, in spite of what people want to say, that
12:37
think, nope, there should be no limitations on it, right up until
12:41
the baby's born. Chris Rock made a joke about it should be up until
12:45
the kid's five and gets the first report card. I hope he was joking.
12:48
He certainly seemed to be joking. I'm pretty sure he was joking.
12:52
But the point is there has been a gradual push til later and later in
13:00
in the pregnancy for it to be okay, right, they may say it's
13:03
not, but there's been a push for that. Absolutely, there's been a
13:07
push for that. So but not all, not all folks on the left
13:13
think that a baby in the third trimester, some even in the second trimester,
13:18
should be able to be terminated. So here's my question if someone like
13:26
Kamala Harris, who was asked, at what point should this be the case,
13:30
and she said, We're not going to stop until Roe v. Wade
13:33
is the law of the land. Again, we need folks to get out
13:37
and vote, register and vote in lawmakers that will make sure that it becomes
13:43
law of the land. Again, this is a critical point for us,
13:46
is that we need people to do that. She kept emphasizing that over and
13:50
over again, We're not going to stop until Roe v. Wade is the
13:54
law of the land. And then she finally eventually came around and said that
13:56
you know, this is what we need and we need people to support it.
14:00
They need to vote for it. This is a campaign issue, and
14:03
this election cycle this year has told us it will be a campaign issue.
14:07
Next year it will be this is going to be important and people will put
14:15
this. Apparently in some cases, maybe I don't know, but it seems
14:18
they may be willing to put this ahead of all of our other interests.
14:22
Because remember, in some cases, conservatives have a platform across the board.
14:30
They disagree on some things, they agree on some things, that's where they
14:33
are. But you have cases on the left where they try to appeal to
14:37
you on one issue, the environment. Republicans don't care about the environment.
14:41
We do, and if you love the environment, you're going to vote for
14:45
us and ignore all these other things. May not even want to know what
14:48
our other platforms are. You just want to know we're going to take care
14:50
of the environment. I have friends who vote Democrat because of the environment.
14:54
They do not want abortion to be law of the land up until the baby's
15:00
born, but so be it if that's a byproduct of it. If as
15:05
long as they can vote for the environment, they'll do it. Okay.
15:07
I know people that feel this way. I do. They just ignore the
15:11
other stuff. They don't want to know about it. If the economy is
15:15
terrible and inflation is destroying businesses and it is destroying livelihoods, and folks are
15:20
going, how are we gonna have Thanksgiving and Christmas this year? How are
15:24
we gonna eat? How are we going to get through cold months? How
15:30
are we going to do this? But then they still have a loyalty and
15:33
they go, well, abortion is really only it matters. What's happened now,
15:37
is it Republicans? Now that it's rov Wade's gone, you have Republicans
15:43
that are saying, let's sit down and talk. We'd like twelve weeks.
15:48
Tell us what your amount is, maybe we can have some sort of negotiation.
15:50
In some cases, Republicans are saying eight. I think a twelve week
15:54
compromise could easily happen for both sides if the would be willing to sit down
16:00
at the table. But that's not what they want to do. Kamala Harris
16:04
is telling us that there are people having miscarriages and toilets, I guess intentionally
16:11
because they're willing to put their lives at stake because they can't get the abortion
16:18
care that they need in places. She says that that's happening. She says
16:26
that that is I'm not hearing a lot of those stories. I don't know.
16:30
I don't know that we would. I feel like we would hear about
16:33
that if there were specific examples of it. I'm not saying it hasn't happened.
16:38
But if this is a fear, and this is a concern, and
16:41
reproductive rights for women is so important, why aren't we trying to have a
16:47
compromise. You're saying they can't get they don't have any rights in some states.
16:49
Some states are saying you can't do it at all. Some are saying,
16:52
oh, eight weeks or four weeks or heartbeat or so, why aren't
16:56
you sitting down and ready to have a national compromise. Wouldn't it be better
17:00
better to have a national compromise it's sixteen weeks or twelve weeks, then to
17:06
put women in danger? Isn't that more important if you're saying that that's the
17:11
reason that you're doing it is for reproductive health care, and that you don't
17:15
and nobody according to her or nobody or others may not be her, But
17:21
well, she did dispel the idea that there were a lot of Democrats who
17:25
want it to be all the way up until birth, and apparently there's some
17:27
evidence to disagree with their comments on that. But that's another thing we've talked
17:33
about. But the point is, if you're really concerned about people's well being,
17:37
why does it matter that you can't get it all the way to the
17:42
end. If you're saying that's not what you want, why not sit down
17:45
and shake hands. Hey, let's go sixteen, let's go fourteen, let's
17:48
go twelve. Let's figure out what the compromise is and shake hands and move
17:52
on all of us. If Republicans are now willing to do it, and
17:56
some are Nikki Hayley talked about it in the last debate about if she was
18:00
president, this is something that needs to be discussed. Republicans have to focus
18:06
their message in general, and they have to make sure everybody understands this is
18:08
what's going to be the message from Republicans. But again, Republicans, it's
18:12
a mixed bag. Some say not at all, some say only under certain
18:18
circumstances, and I understand that. But both sides have got to figure out
18:23
what the compromise is, shake hands, call it a day, make it
18:27
a national law, and then all of these little discussions and debates and elections
18:32
and individual states would go away then, and that would preserve these reproductive rights
18:38
that Kamala Harris and others are saying, Ah, they just don't have them
18:41
right now. So back to the water, Why does it matter who built
18:48
the wells, as long as people are getting clean water to drink, they're
18:52
getting clean water to use for food, and they're getting clean water to use
18:59
for washing, and they're getting clean water for anything that you would need clean
19:03
water for. It's there. It's available to them because someone came along.
19:11
And you could say selfishly or unselfishly. It sounds unselfish, but yeah,
19:15
he's certainly getting his attention for it. He wants to make his more YouTube
19:21
videos. I don't know what the count is on all of his YouTube videos,
19:25
but they're all in the millions of hit, tens of millions of hits,
19:27
hundreds of millions of hits. So it's not like he's not going to
19:32
profit off of what he's doing. There is a business side to this,
19:34
I guess. I don't know. Maybe he's donating some of that money to
19:38
do more of it. I don't know. Maybe that's how he gets some
19:41
of the money back for what he's doing. I don't know. It doesn't
19:45
matter to me. People are getting clean water, a hundred wells, helping
19:48
change lives. Why does it matter what color the guy is that's doing it.
19:53
Why does it matter that capitalism ultimately is the thing that's helping these people
20:00
have clean water. Shouldn't the important thing be that they have clean water?
20:03
Shouldn't the important thing be that we're trying to help people get reproductive rights that
20:11
the left says doesn't exist in some places. Shouldn't that be more important to
20:15
them? And I'm talking about them in both of these instances, because who
20:19
on the left is really upset that there's clean water to drink in parts of
20:22
Kenya that didn't have clean water before? Why does it matter how it got
20:27
accomplished. Isn't the important thing that it gets accomplished? And if you don't
20:33
want abortion rights up until birth, why can't you sit down at the table
20:37
and come up with a compromise. Hey, come in at twenty four,
20:40
whatever you want to come in at. Just have a discussion. Let both
20:44
sides try to figure out. That's the way negotiation should work. Hey we
20:47
want twenty four, Hey we want eight. All right, let's find what
20:49
we're going to be able to agree on. That would be a way to
20:52
resolve it, wouldn't it. I mean that's kind of the way back and
20:57
forth. Maybe you do it like in the movies and writing on a little
21:00
piece of paper and slide it across the table because you can't say out loud
21:03
the cost of the house. In a movie, I want to buy your
21:07
house, and here's what I'm going to pay for, because they wanted to
21:10
still be watchable years later. Like we don't know that. Back at a
21:15
certain time, houses cost less than they cost now. Believe me, they
21:18
cost less. When Trump was president. It was easier to get one.
21:23
Certainly, it was definitely easier to get one back then. A lot harder
21:30
now, a lot harder to get to all sorts of things. I think
21:33
the only thing that the prices maybe have adjusted back down to is eggs,
21:36
and I don't even know for certain. I know eggs are less than they
21:38
were a few months ago, but everything else I think is still more expensive.
21:42
Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center,
21:48
inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that
21:56
really of all ages. I mean, they do it for school age kids
22:00
as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also
22:03
do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
22:10
and the careers in space and stem fields are booming right now, and
22:15
you can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org.
22:23
While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've
22:27
got this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwobe School of Music from Columbus
22:33
State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you
22:40
can get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when you're watching it
22:42
in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
22:47
I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens right here in
22:52
Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season
22:59
of Music under the Dome home. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
23:03
and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up where you can get
23:07
outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you
23:11
get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
23:15
and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their
23:19
website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin, says Charlie Charlie SamSam
23:26
Charlie dot org. I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
23:32
Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company
23:37
of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
23:42
Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
23:48
maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at
23:53
Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you,
23:57
and while they're there, you can always ask them questions about some of the
24:00
maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb
24:06
appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and you need some repair work
24:10
done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely.
24:15
Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe
24:18
it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather,
24:23
Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation
24:27
where you'd like to add a screen door to your garage door system that you
24:32
can put down and you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor
24:37
but indoor. You know, if you like to work on your own cars
24:40
in there, or maybe you just want a little man cavid, you'd like
24:42
to be able to open the door up and not invite all the insects in.
24:47
They can do that for you as well, and again they do after
24:49
hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside
24:53
your garage and your garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
24:59
and they do as well. Seven sixty five eight forty five hundred seven

O six three five eight forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol
25:10
Morning Show. Right after the break, all right, well, holidays coming
25:21
up fast, two weeks of Thanksgiving. Gotta keep in reminding you of that.
25:25
And this begins this process. Now we go through with the various gatherings
25:30
for the holidays between now and the beginning of the year, whether it's you
25:34
know, just to watch football, you know, an SEC championship game or
25:40
something, or Bowl games, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Honkkah, whatever your jam
25:45
is, you probably have been invited or will be invited to a holiday gathering
25:51
of some sort. Well, according to a new poll, seventy four percent
25:53
of Americans say that they will be attending a Thanksgiving dinner, sixty five percent
25:59
will attend a Christmas dinner, fifty four percent will go to a friends Giving
26:03
dinner. Sixty six percent planned to attend a Christmas party, fifty four percent
26:08
a New Year's party. So it sounds like people plan to be very social,
26:15
they plan to be out there. Introverts all cringing right now. As
26:19
far as holidays go, that's seen occasion. Sometimes people buy clothing just for
26:25
an occasion. That happens sometimes. Well, how many times do you buy
26:30
an outfit you only wear it once? Well, apparently a lot of people
26:33
are guilty of these where it once purchases. A survey found forty five percent
26:38
of people have outfits in their closet that were only worn once. Whether it's
26:45
a fancy dress for some sort of a fancy occasion, or tuxedo maybe if
26:51
you're on the men's side, maybe a ski outfit that you wore on one
26:56
ski vacation. I probably have some of these somewhere. I just it's not
27:03
a consistent, like I don't typically do that, and I often think through
27:08
like do I really need to buy this for one thing? And that comes
27:11
up with our kids sometimes, do they really need this for just one thing?
27:17
Our kids have been wearing the same Super Mario costumes for Halloween basically since
27:22
they were young, because they still love Mario in Luigi, so they still
27:26
wear the same ones. And that's the way to go. All right.
27:30
On the subject of folks that work from home, that seems to be a
27:36
regular topic that comes up on the show, Well, there's a Miami Dade
27:41
School district that is offering teachers an opportunity to work from home as teachers.
27:48
No, they won't be just doing zoom classes with their students. Instead,
27:52
they're offering them a chance to actually live at the school full time where they
27:57
teach. Miami Dade School District has broken ground on a new middle school that
28:03
offers a swimming pool, a fitness center, and a floor devoted to six
28:06
hundred square foot one bedroom apartments for teachers. Since the officials know about middle
28:14
schoolers, because it'll be a middle school, they're going to make sure that
28:17
there's only access from a separate entrance to the school and not you can't get
28:22
to it through the school. But those kids will find a way to get
28:26
to the pool. Trust me, they'll find a way to get to the
28:30
pool. I think City Bank is trying to eliminate paper statements going out to
28:37
customers. They basically say, if you don't opt in to the digital only,
28:44
they're going to cut off your digital access, so they won't to let
28:47
you have both. I guess bank insisting the change represents a single digit percentage
28:52
of the bank's customers, and people who currently receive braille or large print statements
28:56
will continue to receive paper payments for as long as they like. But just
29:00
basically trying to get rid of the paper side of things. I always get
29:03
those. I have digital access to some of my accounts, and I still
29:07
get asked by them, would you like to eliminate the paper thing? And
29:11
I don't get the paper thing. I haven't for years, all right,
29:15
So eating insects is apparently a growing trend around the country. It's something folks
29:22
on the left would like to see more of in the States, I think,
29:25
but it's grown in popularity around the world. And I know I've eaten
29:30
a cricket, I've eaten a few crickets in my day, all right,
29:33
And I don't know about the spiders at night. They say they crawl in
29:36
your mouth when you sleep. I've heard that's an urban myth. But you
29:40
know, probably swallowed whatever's crawled in my mouth at night when I'm asleep.
29:42
I hate to think about it, and it's kind of making me nauseous here
29:45
and sorry if you're eating your cheerios at this moment listening to the show.
29:51
But by the way, crickets, if you get a chance to eat the
29:53
chocolate chirp cookie they make those, and you can get your hands on those.
29:59
You don't even taste the crickets. You really don't. Or they're kind
30:03
of like a dried cricket with flavoring on it. It's not that bad.
30:07
But anyway, if you're not into that, maybe you would like to drink
30:11
insects. There's a gin distillery in Australia producing a new gin that is infused
30:17
with green ants. Well, see this is where I draw the line,
30:19
because the green ants, those aren't the good ants in Australia. I've been
30:25
around the green ants. They say it gives it. I think my brother
30:27
in law in Australia. One of my brothers in law likes to eat those
30:30
things. He pops the abdomen off or whatever, just does a snack on
30:34
the go. I's got to get that protein. They say that the green
30:40
ants gives it an extra flavor of citrus and coriander. It says each bottle
30:45
has even has a handful of ants floating in it. The head distiller,
30:52
Sasha la Forgia, says that by putting the ants in the bottles green Ant
30:56
Gin is hoping to encourage people to eat one and taste it. When people
31:03
try one, they say their eyes light up and they get a big smile
31:07
on their face. That sounds like some marketing talk, is what that sounds
31:10
like. All right, that'll do it for this Thursday edition of the show.
