Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, fourteenth day of October. I'm west Thanks for
0:15
Speaker 2: joining me. Took the day off yesterday. My kids had
0:21
Speaker 2: the day off yesterday. I know many in the Muskogee
0:24
Speaker 2: County area, a lot of Columbus kids had the day
0:27
Speaker 2: off part of the fall break. I know they've been
0:32
Speaker 2: working this fall break thing in I guess past ten
0:37
Speaker 2: years or so, maybe as long as my kids have
0:39
Speaker 2: been in school, maybe a while, but this has been
0:43
Speaker 2: something it feels like it's kind of grown. I feel
0:45
Speaker 2: like this is they're working it into a full week off.
0:49
Speaker 2: That's what it feels like. And I know my kids
0:53
Speaker 2: really appreciate their summer break, and they feel like summer
0:56
Speaker 2: break is shortening so that they can get these extra
0:59
Speaker 2: breaks out of this. The fact that these extra breaks
1:01
Speaker 2: get added in when the summer break is winding down
1:06
Speaker 2: and they go, wait a minute, Especially my thirteen year old,
1:09
Speaker 2: he's not a big fan of the short summer break. Now.
1:13
Speaker 2: In his defense, he doesn't like I feel like it
1:17
Speaker 2: is getting shorter, and I also feel like he doesn't
1:21
Speaker 2: remember a time for us gen X speaking here, when
1:25
Speaker 2: we got three months off for summer, but we didn't
1:27
Speaker 2: get any time off during the school year other than
1:32
Speaker 2: spring break. Right, you got the winter break, which we
1:37
Speaker 2: called Christmas break, but it was I think shorter. And
1:41
Speaker 2: now they get a little bit longer off of that.
1:43
Speaker 2: They get this now fall break, and then they get
1:48
Speaker 2: some others here and there. Just a couple of days.
1:50
Speaker 2: It was stuck in random places. But I know, shorter summer,
1:54
Speaker 2: they don't like it. I feel like I enjoy the
1:58
Speaker 2: fact that they get these breaks, and I know we've
2:00
Speaker 2: had a heads up this one was coming. But I'll
2:02
Speaker 2: be honest, I wasn't paying attention to all that. Just
2:06
Speaker 2: being blunt, I wasn't fully tuned in to the fact
2:10
Speaker 2: we were getting the longer break. And we managed to
2:13
Speaker 2: get some things in for the weekend and a few
2:17
Speaker 2: things yesterday just me and the boys kind of hanging
2:19
Speaker 2: out in jail. Went back to work yesterday. She took
2:21
Speaker 2: a couple of days off at the end of the
2:23
Speaker 2: week to fit some things in. They did a museum tour.
2:27
Speaker 2: They went around National Infantry Museum, they went to the
2:31
Speaker 2: Columbus Museum, they went to Oxbo Meadows. They hit up
2:35
Speaker 2: a few places and some donut shops. I was invited.
2:40
Speaker 2: I decided. In spite of the fact that all of
2:43
Speaker 2: that sounded like a good time, I still just was
2:47
Speaker 2: it wasn't feeling great late in the week.
2:49
Speaker 1: Just a little.
2:53
Speaker 2: Little illness. I don't know what it was, but I'm okay,
2:56
Speaker 2: I'm fine. I mean, I had surgery for crying out loud.
2:59
Speaker 2: It's probably a little product from that. So I just,
3:03
Speaker 2: you know, I'm in that phase of just a couple
3:06
Speaker 2: of things that are going on, but I'm you know,
3:08
Speaker 2: should be fine, just not just wasn't feeling great those
3:11
Speaker 2: two days and enjoyed having some time off. Now, we
3:14
Speaker 2: did venture on Tuesday up to Pumpkins at Callaway. That
3:18
Speaker 2: was fun. We had a good time for that. That's
3:21
Speaker 2: become a tradition now and that fits nicely in with
3:25
Speaker 2: our fall break as part of our fall break plans,
3:29
Speaker 2: so we were we were able to do that quickly.
3:34
Speaker 2: Just want to remind you that tickets for the Columbus Nutcracker.
3:38
Speaker 2: The only place to get those tickets coming up in December.
3:43
Speaker 2: You get those tickets strictly from the the Columbus Ballet
3:47
Speaker 2: Dot org or Rivercenter dot org. Don't fall for the scammers.
3:53
Speaker 2: Don't go for the price markups. You don't need to.
3:58
Speaker 2: There's no reason to do that. You can get your
4:00
Speaker 2: tickets from the actual source, and you don't have to
4:03
Speaker 2: worry about paying extra because the tickets are priced that
4:08
Speaker 2: baseline price, and then if you buy them from one
4:12
Speaker 2: of the other sites, you're going to pay more. Thirty
4:16
Speaker 2: five to sixty dollars. That's what you're going to pay
4:18
Speaker 2: for the tickets if you get them actually from Thecolumbus
4:22
Speaker 2: Ballet dot org or Rivercenter dot org. So make sure
4:26
Speaker 2: that you do that again, don't overpay, don't fall for
4:31
Speaker 2: the scams. This is something that's been going on for years.
4:35
Speaker 2: I have friends who have in the past been like, man,
4:39
Speaker 2: I would come to the Nutcracker, but tickets are one
4:41
Speaker 2: hundred and something dollars apiece just for the nosebleeds. Man.
4:45
Speaker 2: You know, well, first of all, it's the River Center.
4:47
Speaker 2: It is not a bad seat in the building. Let's
4:49
Speaker 2: get rid of the nosebleed talg. Second of all, you know,
4:52
Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about paying one hundred dollars
4:57
Speaker 2: for a ticket because that's not how much the tickets
4:59
Speaker 2: cost shows December thirteenth and fourteenth at the River Center. So,
5:04
Speaker 2: and I actually yesterday met one of my new Tabithas,
5:08
Speaker 2: one of my new Pollies from the show who maybe
5:11
Speaker 2: I had met her before, like as a baby, as
5:14
Speaker 2: seen her as now dancer, ready to go, ready to
5:19
Speaker 2: jump in and looking forward to bringing Quinley into the
5:24
Speaker 2: Tabitha family. And we're gonna have a good time at
5:27
Speaker 2: the river Center. So get your tickets and we hope
5:30
Speaker 2: to see you there, and again get them from the Ballet,
5:34
Speaker 2: get them from the River Center. Don't pay the markup
5:38
Speaker 2: ticket price, all right. Speaking of gen X and speaking
5:44
Speaker 2: on behalf of some of my other fellow gen xers, Remember,
5:49
Speaker 2: there was a thing that we used to say. It
5:51
Speaker 2: was pretty common for us to say it. It just
5:56
Speaker 2: we would make references to because of how absurd the
6:01
Speaker 2: concept was, what a huge reach it would be for
6:07
Speaker 2: us to attain it. And we would say it sometimes
6:11
Speaker 2: when people remember we had the whole peace out thing
6:13
Speaker 2: that would happen. That was something that you know, I'm
6:16
Speaker 2: sure we had recycled that, but we would get the
6:18
Speaker 2: peace out and then we would say, you know, peace
6:21
Speaker 2: in the Middle East, and that seemed like that would
6:24
Speaker 2: never happen. It seemed like it was a completely absurd notion,
6:30
Speaker 2: something that no matter how much we said it, it would
6:32
Speaker 2: never happen, no matter how much, don't stop believing we
6:37
Speaker 2: listened to. It just seemed like it was a ridiculous notion.
6:41
Speaker 2: And we would say it with hopes. I mean, some
6:44
Speaker 2: would just say it because it, you know, had that
6:46
Speaker 2: little kind of rhyme pattern to it. But overall we
6:51
Speaker 2: would say it. Some of us would say it with
6:53
Speaker 2: a little prayer in our heart, thinking, man, maybe we
6:56
Speaker 2: can have peace in the Middle East. Well, guess what
7:01
Speaker 2: it took peace in the Middle East to get some
7:04
Speaker 2: folks on the left to actually give compliments to President Trump. Yeah,
7:11
Speaker 2: they actually did. Senator Chuck Schumer referencing the hostages being
7:20
Speaker 2: released yesterday, the last twenty surviving hostages, Chuck Schumer says,
7:26
Speaker 2: today is a wonderful day. Finally, finally, finally, the last
7:29
Speaker 2: living hostages brutally held by hamas or home an immense
7:33
Speaker 2: and overwhelmingwhelming sigh of relief. I commend the enormous advocacy
7:38
Speaker 2: of the tireless hostage families, President Trump, his administration, and
7:44
Speaker 2: all who helped make this moment happen. He said, there's
7:49
Speaker 2: an enormous opportunity ahead for a long term and lasting peace.
7:55
Speaker 2: It is with the utmost importance that every party involved
7:57
Speaker 2: pursue the opportunity to finally build a lasting peace ultimately
8:02
Speaker 2: through a realized two state solution that ensures security, prosperity,
8:07
Speaker 2: dignity for Israeli's Palestine. So like, all right, that's his
8:10
Speaker 2: full statement. I was mainly just trying to focus on
8:12
Speaker 2: the fact that he gave Trump some credit. He's not
8:16
Speaker 2: the only one. The ladies from the view Alissa Farrah
8:21
Speaker 2: Griffin basically says, yeah, a massive diplomatic achievement. There's the
8:29
Speaker 2: whole world can breathe a sigh of relief and saying
8:37
Speaker 2: we can all pray it stays that way. We also
8:41
Speaker 2: had some of the folks from CNN, Chris Slisa, I
8:46
Speaker 2: don't know all the people on CNN, sorry, Chris was
8:50
Speaker 2: one of the ones. It said that people who weren't
8:52
Speaker 2: giving Trump credit are blind. And Jake Sullivan, the former
9:01
Speaker 2: national security advisor for President Biden, when asked by Dana
9:05
Speaker 2: Bash if the president deserve credit, of course he does,
9:10
Speaker 2: and I give credit to President Trump. I give credit
9:12
Speaker 2: to Witkoff, Kushner, and Rubio. These are hard jobs. The
9:18
Speaker 2: president of the United States is the hardest job in
9:20
Speaker 2: the world, and these other jobs, including the job I occupied,
9:24
Speaker 2: are tremendously difficult. I mean, it's still a compliment. I
9:29
Speaker 2: know he came in there and he had his little
9:33
Speaker 2: patting himself on the back. I mean, he understands it's
9:37
Speaker 2: a tough job. I get that. But let's just take
9:40
Speaker 2: a moment and say, hey, the hostages are home. The
9:44
Speaker 2: families that got the hostages back, they're surviving hostages, can celebrate.
9:53
Speaker 2: The folks who don't get that same privilege, that don't
9:58
Speaker 2: get that same moment to welcome their loved ones off
10:02
Speaker 2: there is obviously, they still have to be thought about,
10:06
Speaker 2: they still have to be prayed for. But this is
10:10
Speaker 2: a huge step towards attaining something that I don't know
10:14
Speaker 2: that anyone really thought was possible. The Clintons, I guess,
10:21
Speaker 2: have both given credit to President Trump. Hillary Clinton's amazingly
10:30
Speaker 2: gave him credit for something. I remember she called him
10:32
Speaker 2: a warmonger, a war president. Remember that's what she said.
10:35
Speaker 2: She said, his whole tone is that he's a war president.
10:39
Speaker 2: So this is what it took for them to get
10:45
Speaker 2: to this stage where they would give him a compliment.
10:47
Speaker 2: They're not all giving him compliments, though not all of them.
10:53
Speaker 2: But let's also see how long it takes for the
10:56
Speaker 2: usual suspects to get right back to throwing hate in
10:59
Speaker 2: his direction. One that is not giving him credit though,
11:03
Speaker 2: one who is basically not happy with peace. I guess
11:10
Speaker 2: New York City mayoral candidate Zoron Mamdani condemning US support
11:16
Speaker 2: of Israel for funding genocide. Today's scenes of Israelis and
11:21
Speaker 2: Palestinians are proudly moving, profoundly moving. Israeli hostage is being freed,
11:27
Speaker 2: Families reunited after years of fear, uncertainty and torture, the
11:30
Speaker 2: first days in Gaza without relentless Israeli bombardment of Palestinians,
11:35
Speaker 2: as families return to rubble and loved ones freed from detention.
11:44
Speaker 2: He says, We've watched our tax dollars that have funded
11:47
Speaker 2: a genocide. The moral and human cost will be a
11:51
Speaker 2: lasting stain and requires accountability and real examination of our
11:56
Speaker 2: collective conscience and our government's policies. I've spent time talking
12:01
Speaker 2: about him, and there's concerns that we have to take time,
12:06
Speaker 2: and I'm not gonna I'm not going to dive too
12:08
Speaker 2: deep into this. I just want to just say this,
12:14
Speaker 2: mom Donnie, is part of a big picture strategy. And
12:17
Speaker 2: you can say this is either the communists hiding under
12:24
Speaker 2: the guise of democratic socialists. That is certainly part of
12:28
Speaker 2: what's going on here. Go back to Martin Luther King
12:32
Speaker 2: and mom Donnie has quoted him the democratic socialist thing.
12:36
Speaker 2: This is how communists will be seen democratic socialists. But
12:42
Speaker 2: they're communists, that's what they are. That's that's the term
12:45
Speaker 2: used to try to confuse you. But it's also more
12:50
Speaker 2: than that. This is also uh, there's just more going
12:54
Speaker 2: on here. We have people that want to tear down
12:57
Speaker 2: this country. And remember nine to eleven, the focus was
13:02
Speaker 2: taking down the biggest city in the US. It was specifically,
13:07
Speaker 2: let's take down the World Trade Center. It took two attempts,
13:14
Speaker 2: Let's take down the World Trade Center. We're going to
13:16
Speaker 2: take down these buildings, and we want to show the
13:18
Speaker 2: world that the Americans aren't safe, that their precious World
13:23
Speaker 2: Trade Center, that trade in America can't be protected from us.
13:28
Speaker 2: There's a very specific focus on New York City. There's
13:36
Speaker 2: a specific focus and when you change the rules that
13:40
Speaker 2: a Democratic socialist not a Democrat, can win the primary
13:44
Speaker 2: and be the Democrat nominee. Just be aware of the
13:48
Speaker 2: fact this is someone who does not have good intentions
13:52
Speaker 2: for America. They want to destroy New York City, all
13:57
Speaker 2: of the things that they've talked about doing that. The
13:59
Speaker 2: people are just kind of blindly saying, ah, we're looking
14:02
Speaker 2: for something fresh. We heard Palestinians were good. So just
14:09
Speaker 2: be aware there's a lot at stake here. There's a
14:13
Speaker 2: lot at stake, and he is doing more. There's a
14:17
Speaker 2: trojan horse element to this, and just be aware when
14:23
Speaker 2: he destroys New York City and business leaves, and that's
14:27
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen when he wins, and there's gonna have
14:31
Speaker 2: to be the concept of elections have consequences is going
14:36
Speaker 2: to play out in New York. Now back to that concept.
14:40
Speaker 2: Let's go back to Donald Trump. Let's go back to
14:43
Speaker 2: what happened yesterday with the hostages being released. That moment
14:47
Speaker 2: would not have happened had Donald Trump not won. Think
14:53
Speaker 2: about another four years of Joe Biden when all of
14:56
Speaker 2: this started and it felt like no one was in charge.
15:02
Speaker 2: The auto pen was signing documents. No one was really there.
15:06
Speaker 2: He was working four hours a day. He was watching Mattlock.
15:11
Speaker 2: He got confused, why is Mattlock an old lady? Now
15:14
Speaker 2: there was just a lot of confusion. There is a
15:18
Speaker 2: lot of confusion when you can't fit why does of
15:21
Speaker 2: Mattlock look like Bobby Bouchet's mom? Now was it? There
15:25
Speaker 2: was just confusion in the White House. It's Kathy Bates joke.
15:29
Speaker 2: By the way, So we wouldn't have had this, Kamala
15:34
Speaker 2: Harris wins, we wouldn't have had this. There'd have been
15:36
Speaker 2: no focus, no effort on this. This wasn't a concern
15:40
Speaker 2: on the left. Now the next question, and this is
15:43
Speaker 2: where elections have consequences. We went through four years of
15:49
Speaker 2: this Ukraine Russia war, the invasion and the war that
15:53
Speaker 2: continues to go on and on and on, the funding
15:57
Speaker 2: that went on and on and on, and this war
16:04
Speaker 2: now drawn to a close cease fire. There is currently
16:09
Speaker 2: peace in the Middle East, at least of the time
16:12
Speaker 2: of recording. Trump didn't just meet with the families of
16:17
Speaker 2: the hostages that were released. He didn't just meet with them.
16:20
Speaker 2: He just didn't just meet with leaders. He also went
16:25
Speaker 2: to some of the neighboring countries and said, we need
16:28
Speaker 2: to talk about what we're going to do to make
16:29
Speaker 2: sure this doesn't ever happen again. That was all part
16:32
Speaker 2: of his trip, continues to be part of his trip.
16:37
Speaker 2: How do we make sure this doesn't ever happen again?
16:41
Speaker 2: Elections have consequences. We don't have a lot of listeners
16:45
Speaker 2: in New York. I'm shouting down an empty hallway, but
16:50
Speaker 2: I can just tell you you have time to pull
16:52
Speaker 2: out of this decision about electing a mayor that wants
16:56
Speaker 2: to destroy New York. You have time if you want
17:00
Speaker 2: to hang on to his city now. Granted, can he
17:02
Speaker 2: destroy the city in one term as a mayor? He
17:05
Speaker 2: can do a lot of damage. Biden did a lot
17:08
Speaker 2: of damage in four years just by not being there,
17:11
Speaker 2: by being asleep at the wheel. Can he completely destroy
17:15
Speaker 2: the city? Well, if the businesses start pulling out, they're
17:17
Speaker 2: not coming back. It's going to take a lot to
17:19
Speaker 2: get them to come back. So, if you're happy about
17:24
Speaker 2: what happened yesterday, if you're happy about the hostages finally
17:27
Speaker 2: coming home, if you're happy about peace in the Middle East.
17:30
Speaker 2: As you can see, many leaders on the left giving
17:35
Speaker 2: Donald Trump credit and it's time for that to trickle
17:39
Speaker 2: down and people on the people who have to get
17:43
Speaker 2: on Twitter and Facebook and shout to the world and
17:47
Speaker 2: get really excited that the two hundred people that follow
17:49
Speaker 2: them can see their message. And really it's only like
17:52
Speaker 2: twelve because of all the algorithms. Time for them to
17:56
Speaker 2: shout it to their twelve people that are going to
17:58
Speaker 2: see it. He deserves. It would not have happened had
18:03
Speaker 2: he not won the presidency. Today's show brought to you

20:18

Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
20:26
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
20:30
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
20:32
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
20:34
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
20:38
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
20:41
Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or
20:44
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
20:49

20:51
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
20:54
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
20:56
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor indoor, you know, if
21:01
Speaker 2: you like to work on your own cars in there,
21:03
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid. You'd
21:05
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
21:07
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
21:10
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
21:13
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
21:15
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
21:19
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
21:22
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty

Speaker 2: right after the break well? Is your car a magnet
21:44
Speaker 2: for bird poop? According to a new survey, brown cars
21:48
Speaker 2: are the most likely to get bombarded by bird droppings,
21:52
Speaker 2: followed by red and black vehicles. If you drive a
21:54
Speaker 2: white or silver car, you're in luck. Those colors seem
21:57
Speaker 2: to attract fewer gifts from above. Certain car brands also
22:03
Speaker 2: seem to be bird favorite, Dodge Ram trucks top of
22:06
Speaker 2: the list, followed by Jeep and Chevy. The cost of
22:10
Speaker 2: cleaning up after birds isn't cheap, either, with nearly twenty
22:13
Speaker 2: five percent of drivers spending over five hundred dollars annually
22:15
Speaker 2: on car washes or paint repairs because of bird poop,
22:19
Speaker 2: with Tesla and BMW owners facing the steepest bills. Scientists
22:23
Speaker 2: suggests birds may be drawn to certain colors due to
22:26
Speaker 2: their ultraviolet vision, and shiny surfaces like mirrors and hoods
22:31
Speaker 2: can trigger territorial behaviors, especially during mating season. To avoid
22:37
Speaker 2: becoming a bird's favorite target, experts recommend parking in a garage,
22:41
Speaker 2: using a car cover, or opting for lighter colored vehicles.
22:46
Speaker 2: Not much you can do if you've already bought the car,
22:48
Speaker 2: I mean, in the garage with a car cover, all
22:52
Speaker 2: those things. But it's not like you can just lighten
22:55
Speaker 2: up the color. I mean, you can get it painted,
22:57
Speaker 2: but that's pretty expensive for little bird poop, you know,
23:01
Speaker 2: I mean, and I know if it gets I don't know,
23:04
Speaker 2: if it gets so bad that you gotta do repairs
23:07
Speaker 2: to it, maybe you just run it through the wash
23:09
Speaker 2: every now and then. It's not a big surprise that
23:13
Speaker 2: high school kids use AI for their schoolwork, but the
23:16
Speaker 2: shocking results of a new study find that they're also
23:19
Speaker 2: using it for romance. According to the study that came
23:24
Speaker 2: from the Center of Democracy and Technology, one in five
23:26
Speaker 2: high school students say they are someone they know has
23:29
Speaker 2: had a romantic relationship with AI, and forty two percent
23:33
Speaker 2: say they've used AI for companionship or mental health support.
23:37
Speaker 2: One of the authors of the report, Elizabeth Laird, says,
23:40
Speaker 2: I think students should know that they are not actually
23:44
Speaker 2: talking to a person. They're talking to a tool, and
23:47
Speaker 2: those tools have known limitations in their defense. A lot
23:55
Speaker 2: of the kids that they might be talking to their
23:57
Speaker 2: real people are also tools. Also in the subject of
24:04
Speaker 2: AI and romance, if people in Ohio want to turn
24:09
Speaker 2: to AI for love and companionship, that's okay, But they
24:11
Speaker 2: can forget about marrying AI if new legislation passes. State
24:18
Speaker 2: Representative that he is Claggett, chair of the House Technology
24:21
Speaker 2: and Innovation Committee, proposed a bill that would make it
24:24
Speaker 2: illegal for people to marry an AI system. The bill
24:29
Speaker 2: specifically prohibits artificial intelligence for being recognized as people. He explained,
24:34
Speaker 2: as the computer systems improve in their capacity to act
24:38
Speaker 2: more like humans, we want to be sure that we
24:41
Speaker 2: have prohibitions in our law that prohibit those systems from
24:44
Speaker 2: ever being human in their agency. Claggett insists that the
24:48
Speaker 2: bill will prevent AI from taking on roles held by spouses,
24:52
Speaker 2: such as holding power of attorney or making financial or
24:55
Speaker 2: medical decisions on another's behalf. Now if you're thinking this
25:01
Speaker 2: could never happen. Why would they go to all of
25:04
Speaker 2: this effort. Let's just leave this out there. There's a
25:07
Speaker 2: lot of things that have happened in the last ten
25:10
Speaker 2: years that we would not have imagined would have been
25:13
Speaker 2: allowed to happen. At no point would we have imagined
25:17
Speaker 2: somebody would say, you know what, not only should it
25:21
Speaker 2: be okay for biological boys and men to compete against
25:26
Speaker 2: girls and women in sports, but you should encourage them
25:29
Speaker 2: to do that Like that would not you know, I mean,
25:34
Speaker 2: let's just understand they're trying to get on this right,
25:37
Speaker 2: you know, at the ground level, that's what they're doing.
25:41
Speaker 2: Sometimes one of the best things to eat after night
25:43
Speaker 2: of partying is a good old fashioned frozen pizza. And
25:47
Speaker 2: Simple Recipes is put together panel of food experts to
25:49
Speaker 2: pick what's the best frozen pizza that's in your local
25:53
Speaker 2: stores freezer right now? The name the Screaming Sicilian as
25:57
Speaker 2: the best brand, with particularly high School the worse for
26:00
Speaker 2: the companies Holy Pepperoni. One member of the panel, Alison Robacelli, said,
26:06
Speaker 2: to be honest, the best supermarket pizza is the one
26:09
Speaker 2: that you're in the mood for at that moment. Some
26:11
Speaker 2: nights call for something lousy but intensely nostalgic, one that
26:15
Speaker 2: reminds you of an after school snack or a bowling
26:18
Speaker 2: alley snack bar. I agree with that sentiment. Tesla owners
26:23
Speaker 2: got an unexpected upgrade on their screen that shows the
26:26
Speaker 2: vehicle going down the street. The company sent out a
26:28
Speaker 2: software update that enables consumers to turn their vehicles into
26:33
Speaker 2: light cycles from Tron on their screens. However, it doesn't
26:37
Speaker 2: come with your nine inch Nails soundtrack for free, like
26:41
Speaker 2: the one from the movie tront Are, So just keep
26:44
Speaker 2: that in mind. You still have to pay for that,
26:46
Speaker 2: and you can't be mad at them for years, like
26:47
Speaker 2: the people that get mad at Apple for putting You
26:50
Speaker 2: two on their iPhone. Apple did it, but people got
26:54
Speaker 2: mad at you too because they have this blind loyalty
26:59
Speaker 2: to iPhones. And if that's you, that's fine. I'm just saying,
27:02
Speaker 2: let's put the blame where the blame belongs, or just
27:05
Speaker 2: enjoy a free U two album. That'll do it. For
