Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:05
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, fifteenth day of July. I'm Wes, Thanks for
0:15
Speaker 2: joining me. This is one of those tough ones to
0:21
Speaker 2: talk about today, but we gotta get into this a
0:24
Speaker 2: little bit. You know, anytime there's an incident where there's
0:29
Speaker 2: a shooting that involves police or any sort of federal
0:32
Speaker 2: agent or whatever, I always say, we gotta get all
0:35
Speaker 2: the story. We need to know exactly what happened. And
0:39
Speaker 2: I feel like at this point we still don't know
0:42
Speaker 2: exactly what happened, but we're starting to get a little
0:46
Speaker 2: bit more information. I feel like there's gonna be some
0:49
Speaker 2: time it's going to pass before we get more information
0:53
Speaker 2: because unfortunately, as has been reported, the initial information inaccurate
1:01
Speaker 2: and there has been a course correction on it and
1:06
Speaker 2: trying to get the correct information. And this is kind
1:09
Speaker 2: of a normal thing. Think about it like this. Even
1:11
Speaker 2: at your job. Okay, if you work at a company
1:14
Speaker 2: and there's fifty employees or more and then suddenly one
1:18
Speaker 2: of the employees is let go, and everybody around the
1:22
Speaker 2: building is like, well, I heard this happen, And then
1:25
Speaker 2: someone at the company is like, I know what the
1:28
Speaker 2: real reason that they were let go is. But we're
1:30
Speaker 2: not really supposed to tell everybody, and we got to
1:33
Speaker 2: eventually let the information out, and we have to, you know,
1:36
Speaker 2: because people are starting to get hostile. They heard that
1:39
Speaker 2: something happened. They heard that the guy was fired for
1:42
Speaker 2: saying something or whatever, and that wasn't it. There were
1:45
Speaker 2: some questionable things on his computer or whatever. And then
1:49
Speaker 2: but they don't want to say that, so you have
1:52
Speaker 2: the first information is, hey, you know, we released him,
1:55
Speaker 2: we wish him well in his future, endeavors all the
1:58
Speaker 2: normal things that they say, and then eventually, like the
2:01
Speaker 2: demand for like, we want to know why he was
2:03
Speaker 2: let go, and then they have to come up with
2:04
Speaker 2: a story that's going to satisfy everybody without you know,
2:09
Speaker 2: and then maybe they end up having to say exactly
2:12
Speaker 2: what it was. And I'm not saying that that's exactly
2:14
Speaker 2: how this plays out in some kind of a government investigation.
2:18
Speaker 2: We deserve to know the truth, even if it's something
2:21
Speaker 2: that we don't want to hear. That's the first thing
2:23
Speaker 2: to say about it. The reality is if the wrong
2:28
Speaker 2: information has gotten out or the watered down information has
2:32
Speaker 2: gotten out, and then now they've got to get into
2:34
Speaker 2: the nuts and bolts and tell the real story of
2:36
Speaker 2: what happened. And I'm talking about this shooting that happened
2:40
Speaker 2: in Maine. So Ice went to a place, a residence
2:47
Speaker 2: of some kind, looking for a very specific person that
2:49
Speaker 2: was ordered out of the country. They had an encounter
2:53
Speaker 2: with someone that they believed to be that person. This
2:56
Speaker 2: is according to the information we have as of this morning.
3:00
Speaker 2: They have an encounter. This person gets in a vehicle
3:02
Speaker 2: or whatever and tries to drive away. According to the
3:05
Speaker 2: initial report, tried to turn the vehicle towards an officer
3:09
Speaker 2: who then shot him and killed him. And that's what
3:13
Speaker 2: we know. And suddenly now there's this growing protests and
3:19
Speaker 2: things happening in Maine. And the reason that I wanted
3:22
Speaker 2: to talk about it this morning is because I think
3:26
Speaker 2: it's very quick. There's a very organized protests that has
3:34
Speaker 2: worked its way to the offices and I don't know
3:37
Speaker 2: if it's residents. I think it's just office of Senator
3:41
Speaker 2: Susan Collins. How quickly we went from we have our
3:45
Speaker 2: guy in Maine that's going to beat Susan Collins to
3:51
Speaker 2: he's not the guy anymore. We don't even know who's
3:53
Speaker 2: going to have the nomination. He stepped out of it,
3:57
Speaker 2: so they quickly transition to, well, now we're just going
4:01
Speaker 2: to attack Susan Collins because of course she is personally
4:04
Speaker 2: responsible for whatever has happened at this shooting. There are
4:09
Speaker 2: two senators in Maine, just like in every other state,
4:13
Speaker 2: and the other senator is an independent, Angus King, who
4:17
Speaker 2: has actually not been even though they're both very long
4:22
Speaker 2: serving senators. He's actually the junior senator there behind Collins.
4:30
Speaker 2: He's an independent, of course, caucuses with Democrats, votes with
4:34
Speaker 2: Democrats by all means and accountability, he's a Democrat, but
4:37
Speaker 2: he's in a state like Maine where you know, you
4:40
Speaker 2: have to be very liberal anyway. I mean, Susan Collins
4:46
Speaker 2: is very much a Rhino, which is why they can't
4:50
Speaker 2: stand her. I mean, she kind of often votes with them,
4:54
Speaker 2: but they want that little tick box so that they
4:57
Speaker 2: can say, yes, we want control role, and they think
5:01
Speaker 2: that's one of those seats that they can pick up.
5:04
Speaker 2: And that's why they decided, Hey, we're gonna you know,
5:07
Speaker 2: elect a Nazi. That's what we want to do. We
5:09
Speaker 2: want someone with Nazi ties and and and sentimentality and whatever.
5:16
Speaker 2: So but this is the thing. You mobilize this protest
5:24
Speaker 2: very quickly. This has happened very fast, and they're already
5:31
Speaker 2: like someone behind the scenes is calling the shots. Let's
5:36
Speaker 2: let's let's focus on Susan Collins. That's what we have
5:39
Speaker 2: to focus on. And the timing of that. If the
5:46
Speaker 2: timing of the shooting happening in Maine is I would
5:50
Speaker 2: think coincidental. I'm not a conspiracy guy on things. But
5:55
Speaker 2: someone was waiting the moment that they heard that Ice
6:00
Speaker 2: was being, you know, active and seen being very active
6:04
Speaker 2: in Maine. Someone was just waiting for something to go wrong.
6:12
Speaker 2: Someone was waiting for something to happen. And I just
6:16
Speaker 2: want to point out a few things about everything that's
6:20
Speaker 2: happened in Maine over the past couple of months. Right,
6:26
Speaker 2: we know that the people of Maine, the Democrats of Maine,
6:32
Speaker 2: chose the guy with the Nazi tattoo. Right. We know
6:38
Speaker 2: that they chose Graham Platner to be their Senate candidate.
6:42
Speaker 2: We know that they chose the guy, the alleged rapist,
6:47
Speaker 2: the person with a long history of inappropriate comments, inappropriate conduct,
6:53
Speaker 2: because they say, well, he's just our chance to win.
6:56
Speaker 2: This is what we're willing to do just for power.
7:00
Speaker 2: And this was repeated over and over and over again.
7:06
Speaker 2: We heard it from pundits, we heard it from the
7:09
Speaker 2: hosts on the view. Almost said the ladies on the view.
7:13
Speaker 2: But I don't I don't know, like I don't want
7:15
Speaker 2: to assume anything. I just know that there were a
7:19
Speaker 2: number of people, politicians, pundits, TV hosts ready to just
7:26
Speaker 2: say it doesn't matter as long as he can win.
7:29
Speaker 2: They didn't care. They didn't care that it wasn't just
7:33
Speaker 2: a Nazi tattoo. By the way, it's a tattoo specifically
7:36
Speaker 2: for the people that were running the Holocaust prison camps.
7:41
Speaker 2: Take it to that steps. Let's it's important that we
7:45
Speaker 2: note that that was the specific tattoo, all right, indefensible.
7:51
Speaker 2: There's no reason he could say, well, I didn't know
7:53
Speaker 2: what it was, or I was too drunk when I
7:55
Speaker 2: got it, and you know I was too drunk. When
7:57
Speaker 2: you know this woman says it, you know he ran.
8:01
Speaker 2: That should be a problem too, right, if we got
8:04
Speaker 2: this long series of bad decisions being made because of alcohol.
8:09
Speaker 2: I mean that alone doesn't defend it. You can say, well,
8:14
Speaker 2: I made some mistakes while I was drinking. Well, it
8:17
Speaker 2: sounds like a repetitive drinking is the problem. But he's
8:20
Speaker 2: a blue collar guy. He's the guy that they wanted
8:23
Speaker 2: to have because they thought he could win. I think,
8:26
Speaker 2: in a perfect world, if we would stop nominating and
8:30
Speaker 2: selecting people just based on can they win and actually
8:35
Speaker 2: try to go for some character. But I know that's
8:37
Speaker 2: just a that's not going to happen. That's not how
8:40
Speaker 2: this works. That's not what we're going to do. We're
8:42
Speaker 2: just it's all about who can win, and you know,
8:46
Speaker 2: throw everything ouse outh the window. Nominating people on race
8:50
Speaker 2: and gender, Nominating people on if they played football, nominating
8:54
Speaker 2: people if they coached football, nominating people on acting they
9:01
Speaker 2: tried to They've already tried to draft Patrick Dempsey into
9:04
Speaker 2: the main Senate race and he's declined. So all of
9:11
Speaker 2: these things are not the best reasons to vote for people.
9:15
Speaker 2: They're just not. It's it's not the way to go.
9:18
Speaker 2: And Democrats would argue, well, Republicans picked a you know,
9:21
Speaker 2: talk a talk show host or game show host or
9:24
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call the apprentice. I guess it's
9:25
Speaker 2: a game show, right. But Trump's more than that. I
9:32
Speaker 2: mean people that have tried to pigeonhole him and say, well,
9:35
Speaker 2: he's just this or he's just that, but obviously he
9:38
Speaker 2: was talking about running for president as a Democrat a
9:41
Speaker 2: long time ago. They hate him because he's not one
9:44
Speaker 2: of them. That's that's a big part, and that's why
9:47
Speaker 2: a lot of Republicans don't like him, because he's not
9:48
Speaker 2: exactly one of them and doesn't fit the mold. But
9:52
Speaker 2: my point is, as people are, and this is a
9:56
Speaker 2: horrible story. It's a horrible anytime. It's a horrible story
9:59
Speaker 2: anytime someone killed. Period. We went through this with Renee
10:02
Speaker 2: Good and we went through this, We've gone through this
10:05
Speaker 2: number of times. It's never a good thing when someone
10:09
Speaker 2: is killed. It's never a good thing. When someone is
10:12
Speaker 2: killed by police, or when someone is killed by you know,
10:18
Speaker 2: federal agents, it's never a good thing. Death is not
10:22
Speaker 2: a good thing. It's just not. There's and it's one
10:26
Speaker 2: of the I saw a friend this week posted you
10:31
Speaker 2: can tell the difference in where things are based on
10:35
Speaker 2: the kind of public comments about Lindsey Graham and the
10:41
Speaker 2: kind of comments that we're getting for Sam Neil, And
10:44
Speaker 2: that says everything that you need to know. What in
10:48
Speaker 2: his point is that Lindsay Graham's garbage and sam Neil's not.
10:51
Speaker 2: I think it's kind of what he was trying to say,
10:53
Speaker 2: but I think he's missing the point. He almost has
10:55
Speaker 2: exactly the right point with this comment. The fact that
10:59
Speaker 2: any one is celebrating the death of a human being
11:02
Speaker 2: is very reflective of where we are as a society.
11:04
Speaker 2: He's right, The difference in the comments is reflective of
11:08
Speaker 2: where we are. But it's not that one of them
11:12
Speaker 2: is garbage and one of them is a beloved actor.
11:16
Speaker 2: They had very different roles in society. They had very
11:19
Speaker 2: different you know one, Yeah, okay, Jurassic Park fantastic. We
11:26
Speaker 2: all love Jurassic Park, right, stands the test of time.
11:30
Speaker 2: They keep making the movies even when some of them aren't.
11:33
Speaker 2: They could. We love Sam Neil, right, It made some
11:38
Speaker 2: great movies. We love him as an actor at the
11:41
Speaker 2: very least, but more importantly as a human being. And
11:45
Speaker 2: he passes away. And it's sad, right, it's sad when
11:48
Speaker 2: a person dies.
11:50
Speaker 1: It should be.
11:52
Speaker 2: It should be said when any person dies. I know
11:55
Speaker 2: you have your occasional people. There's gonna be the occasional
11:59
Speaker 2: person that you're going to say, well, this person was
12:01
Speaker 2: responsible for killing six million people, so good they're gone.
12:05
Speaker 2: And I get that. Serial killers, you kind of go, well,
12:09
Speaker 2: there's a relief that they're gone. That's done, right. I
12:13
Speaker 2: get that. So know that those are the exceptions and
12:15
Speaker 2: all this. Then you take someone who is a US
12:22
Speaker 2: senator serving for one party and then the people on
12:25
Speaker 2: the other party don't like him, and I get that.
12:28
Speaker 2: It's two different it's two very different jobs. But it's
12:33
Speaker 2: one thing to say, well, I didn't like his politics,
12:36
Speaker 2: and it's another thing to say, good, he's dead. That's
12:40
Speaker 2: very different. Those are very different things. So this is
12:45
Speaker 2: what we're looking at when it comes to the situation
12:48
Speaker 2: in Maine. And it's horrible. It's horrible, no matter what,
12:51
Speaker 2: no matter if you have a situation where if the
12:55
Speaker 2: guy in the car did try to hit the officer
12:58
Speaker 2: with his vehicle, that's a terrible decision that was made.
13:03
Speaker 2: We went through this with Renee Good. We've gone through
13:05
Speaker 2: this with people that are trying to stop ice from
13:08
Speaker 2: doing things, whether it's taking them into custody. If this
13:13
Speaker 2: person in the car who had an actual valid work
13:17
Speaker 2: visa according to reports, now the initial report was that
13:20
Speaker 2: he did not, and then now they're saying he did.
13:23
Speaker 2: He's Colombian was here to work. If the decision was
13:28
Speaker 2: simply I'm hearing on the news that they're going to
13:32
Speaker 2: take me away no matter what I have to get
13:34
Speaker 2: away from here. Still a bad decision that's made, and
13:38
Speaker 2: there has to be some accountability to the people that
13:40
Speaker 2: are telling him that on the news. It has to
13:42
Speaker 2: be their accountability to the people that are saying that
13:46
Speaker 2: you have to run, don't let them take you. We're
13:49
Speaker 2: going to stand up and get in the way and
13:51
Speaker 2: do everything we can to stop it from happening, even
13:53
Speaker 2: if it means someone dying. See, when we've already had
13:59
Speaker 2: this track record on the left of life isn't sacred.
14:02
Speaker 2: Life is nothing. If it's inconvenient, it doesn't mean anything
14:08
Speaker 2: if it's inconvenient. And if it's inconvenient for someone to
14:12
Speaker 2: have a baby, well then it's okay to eliminate the baby.
14:16
Speaker 2: But the baby's only alive and the womb if you
14:19
Speaker 2: want the baby. If you don't want the baby, then
14:21
Speaker 2: it's not alive. But if you want the baby, then
14:24
Speaker 2: the baby's alive. There's no real logic there, But that's
14:29
Speaker 2: the game that's been played for a long time. So
14:33
Speaker 2: if it's inconvenient for Republicans to have control of the Senate,
14:38
Speaker 2: and life doesn't really mean anything because life is an obstacle,
14:42
Speaker 2: it's inconvenient that they have control of it. So then
14:46
Speaker 2: there's a justified reason for some of the horrible things
14:51
Speaker 2: that have happened. So if the messaging is you've got
14:54
Speaker 2: to stand up to Ice, if the messaging is you
14:56
Speaker 2: got to flea Ice, the messaging is don't let them
14:59
Speaker 2: take you in under any circumstance that's going to lead
15:03
Speaker 2: to more people dying, and there has to be some
15:06
Speaker 2: accountability for it. And if you think that the Left
15:11
Speaker 2: really you know, as they're saying, well, this is a
15:14
Speaker 2: guy who dies, and yes, yes this is a guy
15:17
Speaker 2: and it's horrible that this guy died. But if you
15:20
Speaker 2: think they're not seeing the opportun the opportunistic side where
15:25
Speaker 2: they can say, well, now's our chance to march on
15:28
Speaker 2: Susan Collins. This is our chance to get rid of
15:31
Speaker 2: Susan Collins, because we've already lost our Nazi, We've lost
15:36
Speaker 2: our guy who got a tattoo for the people that
15:39
Speaker 2: were running the camps that were responsible for killing millions
15:43
Speaker 2: of people, millions of Jewish people in concentration camps again. Hello,
15:51
Speaker 2: my Jewish listeners. If you're still voting for the people
15:56
Speaker 2: who are supporting the pro Palestine and anti Israel contingency,
16:04
Speaker 2: just know they're somewhere. There has to be a wake
16:08
Speaker 2: up call. They're they're threatening Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania. They've
16:12
Speaker 2: already tried to well they did burn his house down,
16:15
Speaker 2: but they've already tried to go after him. Just a
16:19
Speaker 2: wake up call. He could have easily been the pick
16:23
Speaker 2: for vice president and they don't. They want that. They
16:27
Speaker 2: were worried about those people. They were worried about the
16:29
Speaker 2: people that were ready to burn his house down at
16:32
Speaker 2: that point. So you got to be just there has
16:36
Speaker 2: to be a wake up call at some point, which
16:38
Speaker 2: side is supporting Israel, which side is not. But obviously
16:44
Speaker 2: if they could have been okay, they could have lived
16:47
Speaker 2: with having a senator in Maine, a US senator with
16:52
Speaker 2: the D by his name, that got a tattoo that
16:56
Speaker 2: honored the people that ran the concentration camps. When they
17:02
Speaker 2: tell you how sacred life is, just know that it's
17:07
Speaker 2: really about convenience or inconvenience, and about control. And this
17:12
Speaker 2: is their opportunity now to really put some extra pressure
17:15
Speaker 2: on Susan Collins now that they lost their Nazi Get
17:18
Speaker 2: ready for dragon Con forty. It's the fortieth dragon Con

20:55
Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of your
20:57
Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular

Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
21:15
Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
21:16
Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
21:19
Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
21:22
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
21:26
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
21:28
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
21:30
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
21:34
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
21:37
Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or
21:41
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
21:45
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
21:47
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
21:50
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
21:52
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know,
21:57
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
21:59
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
22:01
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
22:03
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
22:06
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
22:09
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
22:11
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
22:15
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
22:18
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six three five eight forty

22:28
Speaker 2: right after the break. Well, every time there's a World Cup,
22:39
Speaker 2: there's always a spike in interest in soccer, as soccer
22:44
Speaker 2: leagues will start to fill up and things as kids
22:46
Speaker 2: get to do excitement for the game. There's also something
22:50
Speaker 2: else that's potentially gonna happens, as experts in this particular
22:57
Speaker 2: field say watch out because this year World Cup and
23:00
Speaker 2: its popularity in the fact that the US was hosting
23:03
Speaker 2: it may very well inspire a new wave of baby names.
23:08
Speaker 2: And the experts say that with millions of people watching
23:11
Speaker 2: the matches and seeing the names of the players repeatedly
23:14
Speaker 2: in headlines and on social media, there's a certain number
23:18
Speaker 2: of names that are likely to stick with expecting parents.
23:23
Speaker 2: So Christian Weston, Jude, Henry, Lionel or Lionel if you're
23:29
Speaker 2: going to say it the American way, or Leo the
23:32
Speaker 2: shortened version of it, Remy, Rafael, Mateo, Luca. Names like
23:36
Speaker 2: that certainly could see an uptick. So in about, you know,
23:40
Speaker 2: five years or so, six years or so, Hey, teachers
23:44
Speaker 2: get ready to kindergarten teachers get ready to start saying
23:47
Speaker 2: more of those names, potentially Barbie getting her own special
23:53
Speaker 2: delivery from the US Postal Service. A new set of
23:56
Speaker 2: ten Barbie themed Forever stamps was released over the week,
24:00
Speaker 2: featuring Barbie in a variety of careers astronauts, surgeon, nurse, firefighter,
24:06
Speaker 2: robotics engineer, paleontologists, judge, sign language teacher that's very specific.
24:13
Speaker 2: That's a very specific career, soccer player, there you go,
24:18
Speaker 2: and music star. The stamps slightly taller than the typical
24:23
Speaker 2: commemorative stamp Barbie's kind of tall, a format the Postal
24:27
Speaker 2: Service says is rarely used. USPS art director Ethyl Kessler
24:33
Speaker 2: says the design team embraced a spirit of fund made
24:36
Speaker 2: sure to include Barbie's signature pink color throughout the collection.
24:40
Speaker 2: How about as a career for Barbie a USPS art director.
24:48
Speaker 2: You know, they could have done something in honor of Ethyl.
24:52
Speaker 2: I wonder if that name is going to see a
24:53
Speaker 2: spike based on these. You know, we need more Ethyl's.
24:58
Speaker 2: You know it's a World Cup related. It would be
25:00
Speaker 2: nice if you know, the lady at the post office
25:03
Speaker 2: got some got some credit for that, right. Gen Z
25:07
Speaker 2: is tossing out one of the oldest money taboos, and
25:10
Speaker 2: that's talking about salaries more young people or openly sharing
25:14
Speaker 2: their pay spending habits, and financial goals on social media
25:18
Speaker 2: as part of a trend known as loud budgeting. Since
25:21
Speaker 2: gen Z has grown up sharing so much of their
25:24
Speaker 2: lives online, discussing finances feels like a natural next step.
25:28
Speaker 2: While openly talking about money doesn't automatically lead to better
25:32
Speaker 2: financial decisions, supporters say that it does help start important
25:35
Speaker 2: conversations and can encourage people to take a more active
25:40
Speaker 2: role in managing their finances. This was always something for
25:45
Speaker 2: me workwise, working in basically in the arts. It's it's
25:54
Speaker 2: a there's always some challenges to that because obviously working
25:59
Speaker 2: in a career like broadcasting, varying salaries in the building
26:04
Speaker 2: and people would often walk in and start complaining, well,
26:07
Speaker 2: I only make so and so, and then they said, well,
26:09
Speaker 2: I don't even make that, and those kind of conversations
26:11
Speaker 2: would happen in the building and it was never productive
26:16
Speaker 2: for anybody. It was, you know, that's your salary. If
26:19
Speaker 2: you want to go in and ask for more, don't
26:21
Speaker 2: hold your breath. Doesn't mean you're going to get more.
26:24
Speaker 2: And then there's just a lot of resentment in things.
26:26
Speaker 2: But in this capacity, just kind of sharing it on
26:29
Speaker 2: social media, is it creating a situation where you got
26:32
Speaker 2: people going, oh wow, so is that all that they
26:36
Speaker 2: make as an influencer or is it people going, oh
26:38
Speaker 2: my gosh, influencers are making that kind of money. I
26:41
Speaker 2: need to get on board with that. Maybe I should
26:43
Speaker 2: live in a van and drive around the country and
26:46
Speaker 2: do that. I don't know. There's one in particular that's
26:48
Speaker 2: been popping in my feet a lot lately and it's
26:50
Speaker 2: interesting and then I go, oh, well, she's making a
26:54
Speaker 2: lot of money just living in a van. New survey
26:58
Speaker 2: suggests there's a surprisingly strong connection between how people feel
27:01
Speaker 2: about their hair and how they feel about themselves overall.
27:05
Speaker 2: Research found that people who were happy with their hair
27:08
Speaker 2: tend to support or tend to report that they have
27:12
Speaker 2: higher confidence, better self esteem, more positive self image. On
27:16
Speaker 2: the flip side, hair concerns can have a real impact
27:18
Speaker 2: on mood and self confidence in short hair is more
27:23
Speaker 2: than just a style choice. It's often tied to identity,
27:27
Speaker 2: self expression, how people present themselves to the world. Many
27:31
Speaker 2: respondents said that having a good hair day can make
27:33
Speaker 2: them feel more attractive, empowered, and ready to take on challenges. Yeah,
27:39
Speaker 2: I think that obviously, what we've seen happen with balding
27:43
Speaker 2: men and the balding, the hair replacement industry and things
27:47
Speaker 2: like that certainly ties into that. And then a lot
27:49
Speaker 2: of people dyeing their hair kind of bright colors and
27:52
Speaker 2: things shows that a bit of self expression that goes
27:56
Speaker 2: with that, or as was the case with me when
27:59
Speaker 2: mine was perple for a very brief amount of time,
28:02
Speaker 2: losing a Super Bowl bit, because that does sometimes happen.
28:07
Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Wednesday edition of the show.
