2:31
Speaker 2: week is a little bit of a and we'll have
2:33
Speaker 2: some programming notes, if you will, on that next week.
2:36
Speaker 2: But I'm having a surgery next week, and it's one
2:42
Speaker 2: of those things where they're gonna be tinkering around inside
2:46
Speaker 2: my throat, so I don't know. I don't know what
2:51
Speaker 2: my voice is going to sound like for a week
2:53
Speaker 2: or so. So I'll be back as soon as I can,
2:56
Speaker 2: but i'll be back after labor Day and then i'll
2:59
Speaker 2: talk more about out with the surgery and all that stuff.
3:01
Speaker 2: But I'll definitely have a few days off that week
3:04
Speaker 2: after labor Day. I'll get a few shows in though,
3:07
Speaker 2: a little post Dragon con coverage for you, including probably
3:11
Speaker 2: some conversation with John Boyega. The surgery itself, it's a surgery.
3:17
Speaker 2: Like they say when people say, oh, it's a minor surgery,
3:20
Speaker 2: don't worry about it. Minor surgeries or surgery is done
3:22
Speaker 2: on other people. This is they say, it's a minor surgery.
3:28
Speaker 2: I believe it, I think so I'm confident with my surgeon.
3:31
Speaker 2: I'm confident with what they're doing. My nervous part of
3:35
Speaker 2: my nerves in the nervous part of it for me
3:37
Speaker 2: is that they're going to be in in you know,
3:40
Speaker 2: where I make my money. I'm a professional speaker, That's
3:44
Speaker 2: what I do. And if they're in there, you know,
3:46
Speaker 2: moving things around and around the vocal cords is you know,
3:50
Speaker 2: it makes you a little uneasy. If you're a professional
3:53
Speaker 2: marksman and they're doing surgery on your trigger finger, you know,
3:57
Speaker 2: you get a little nervous. Hey, more on that next week.
4:01
Speaker 2: I'm okay, I'll be all right, Everything will be fine.
4:05
Speaker 2: Life will be better when this is done for me.
4:09
Speaker 2: So there's that, all right. I want to now talk
4:13
Speaker 2: about Oh my gosh, it happened, the engagement Taylor Swift
4:18
Speaker 2: and Travis Kelcey. I heard from someone yesterday. I said, oh,
4:21
Speaker 2: you said this wasn't ever gonna happen. I said, no,
4:23
Speaker 2: quite the contrary, I said it would happen. I never
4:26
Speaker 2: had any doubt in my mind. The only thing that
4:27
Speaker 2: surprises me about them is that they didn't do it
4:29
Speaker 2: sooner or like that. I think they would have done
4:31
Speaker 2: it at the Super Bowl had the Chiefs won. I
4:34
Speaker 2: think they would have done it. I think that would
4:36
Speaker 2: have been the thing on the field after the game,
4:40
Speaker 2: Confetti everywhere, decimated Eagles team. They just couldn't do it
4:46
Speaker 2: after it was a decimated Chiefs team, because the Eagles
4:49
Speaker 2: absolutely destroyed them. I find no joy in saying those
4:52
Speaker 2: words as a fan of the New York Football Giants.
4:55
Speaker 2: I find no joy in any of the Saquon Barkley story. None,
5:00
Speaker 2: none of that. But the consolation is that, oh, yeah,
5:03
Speaker 2: the Chiefs can lose in the Super Bowl and there's
5:07
Speaker 2: not really much the refs can do when you blow
5:08
Speaker 2: them off the field. I digress. I think it's entirely
5:14
Speaker 2: possible that Cracker Barrel maybe paid them to get incay,
5:19
Speaker 2: because that really shifted the conversation rapidly, didn't it. I mean,
5:24
Speaker 2: the Cracker Barrel thing is still the thing. They did
5:25
Speaker 2: a pop up store, and so was it in New York.
5:28
Speaker 2: I don't know somewhere that had a pop up store
5:30
Speaker 2: and that didn't go well. Cracker Barrel is taking on water,
5:34
Speaker 2: and at some point, while you're taking on water, you
5:37
Speaker 2: just have to accept the fact that you need to
5:39
Speaker 2: take the boat back and get another. Go get the
5:42
Speaker 2: other boat. You got a new boat. The new boat's
5:45
Speaker 2: got a hole in it. Quit trying to patch it
5:47
Speaker 2: on the go. Just go back and get in the
5:49
Speaker 2: old boat. Just admit it. We messed up. We're sorry,
5:55
Speaker 2: we were wrong. We apologize. Coke had to do that.
6:00
Speaker 2: And remember when Coke did that, and they said, now
6:02
Speaker 2: it's time for Coke Classic and we'll go back to
6:05
Speaker 2: the old one. And then they just phased out new Coke.
6:08
Speaker 2: Some people miss it, some people actually liked it. I
6:13
Speaker 2: know some weirdos that actually it wasn't that bad. It
6:16
Speaker 2: wasn't Coke though. That was the difference. And then they
6:19
Speaker 2: go back and then they say, well, now it's kind
6:20
Speaker 2: And then now I guess Trump's already been saying, hey,
6:24
Speaker 2: they're going to bring real sugar back to Coke, so
6:27
Speaker 2: they're really going to go back to the old formula.
6:30
Speaker 2: Dear Cracker Barrel, just go back to Cracker Bear. Just
6:34
Speaker 2: just do it. Bring back Uncle Herschel, just do it.
6:37
Speaker 2: Everybody will be fine. You've drawn a lot of extra
6:40
Speaker 2: attention to all of your shenanigans that you've been doing
6:44
Speaker 2: things that people didn't know about Cracker Bear. All of
6:46
Speaker 2: a sudden they're paying attention. All they wanted to do
6:49
Speaker 2: is eat some pancakes and some of those hash brown
6:52
Speaker 2: casserole dishes. And but as I said, you don't have
6:58
Speaker 2: to eat it. You don't have to go there, but
6:59
Speaker 2: I know they're happy because now this Taylor Swift Travis
7:04
Speaker 2: Kelcey engagement has really taken over all the oxygen from
7:08
Speaker 2: the headlines, hasn't it, at least in that level. There's
7:12
Speaker 2: stuff going on. We got crime in cities and presidents
7:15
Speaker 2: trying to fix stuff, trying to take over things. You
7:18
Speaker 2: got people pretending, oh, we can't we can't get excited
7:21
Speaker 2: about him coming in. He can't do this. He's taking
7:24
Speaker 2: over our cities and doing things. And I think this
7:28
Speaker 2: is what we kind of addressed back at the beginning,
7:31
Speaker 2: and I've been excited to see that people are starting
7:33
Speaker 2: to have this perspective on all of this is this
7:36
Speaker 2: was the trap. I told you back at the beginning.
7:40
Speaker 2: There was more going on to what was going on
7:43
Speaker 2: in DC than just we're going to clean up DC.
7:46
Speaker 2: It's great that they're cleaning up DC. The reports there
7:50
Speaker 2: that people do feel safer, the police there saying, hey,
7:53
Speaker 2: we got some help. We're cleaning things up, taking a
7:56
Speaker 2: lot of criminals off the streets. We've taken some illegal
7:59
Speaker 2: guns off the streets. It's a good day. And that's
8:03
Speaker 2: what they say. That's what the police that's the reports.
8:06
Speaker 2: You can go to law enforcement sometimes and actually get
8:08
Speaker 2: an update. God forbid you listen to law enforcement. God
8:13
Speaker 2: forbid anyway. So then you got other cities where I
8:19
Speaker 2: could fix that, I could do it, we could clean
8:21
Speaker 2: it up. And people are saying, no, no, no, we don't
8:24
Speaker 2: do that. You can't come in and do that. Why
8:28
Speaker 2: it's this conversation of like, why would you oppose cleaning
8:32
Speaker 2: up crime? And this is the trap that I feel
8:37
Speaker 2: like they've they've lured them into, and this is what's
8:39
Speaker 2: going on because, you know, cleaning up the streets and
8:44
Speaker 2: and and justice. It was something that the left was for.
8:49
Speaker 2: If you remember, we went through this whole thing back
8:53
Speaker 2: during the Clinton administration, right one hundred thousand police officers
8:58
Speaker 2: were hired and prisons built in the three strikes law.
9:02
Speaker 2: Remember that that was all during a Democrat presidency. And
9:06
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton somebody that even though he doesn't have the
9:12
Speaker 2: respect and admiration that he once had, a lot of
9:15
Speaker 2: people in the middle kind of remember those you know,
9:18
Speaker 2: not the bad stuff, not all the stuff with Monica Lewinsky,
9:24
Speaker 2: but they look back to that period. You go back
9:27
Speaker 2: to Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich as the speaker of the House,
9:32
Speaker 2: and you know, they were able to work together. That
9:36
Speaker 2: was a time. You know, it didn't mean they always
9:38
Speaker 2: got along, but they were able to work together. Some
9:40
Speaker 2: things got done. There was still some controversy some of
9:45
Speaker 2: the things from then still you know, oh, PBS, that
9:49
Speaker 2: was going on back then. Remember Newt Gingrich said, why
9:52
Speaker 2: is Sesame Street getting money from us? When you know
9:55
Speaker 2: they still enough tickle Meolmo dolls to pay for PBS forever,
10:00
Speaker 2: like they could cover that easily. That was the thing then,
10:04
Speaker 2: and of course it's still going on now. Some of
10:06
Speaker 2: this stuff just never dies. It's like the goonies. Right. So, anyway,
10:10
Speaker 2: we have this we're going to fix crime coming now
10:16
Speaker 2: from Trump and on the Republican side, and you got Democrats, Hey,
10:20
Speaker 2: you can't do that. Why would you do that? Stay
10:24
Speaker 2: out of our cities. You can't come in here and
10:26
Speaker 2: fix this. We can't fix it. It would look bad
10:30
Speaker 2: if you came in and fixed it. And then you
10:33
Speaker 2: have a lot of people, you have a lot of
10:35
Speaker 2: people that have been lifelong Democrat supporters that live in
10:39
Speaker 2: these cities and they're going, wait, I thought we were
10:41
Speaker 2: against crime. Since when are we pro crime? It doesn't
10:46
Speaker 2: make any sense. Why would you not want to clean
10:49
Speaker 2: up the crime really doesn't make any sense. It's this
10:54
Speaker 2: absence of common sense on specific issues. If Trump and
11:00
Speaker 2: RFK say we're going to get some of the dies
11:06
Speaker 2: out of the foods that aren't great for the kids,
11:08
Speaker 2: We're gonna do that. Now, this is something that you
11:12
Speaker 2: would think would have sweeping approval, you know, other than
11:17
Speaker 2: you know, some of the cereal companies are like, it's
11:19
Speaker 2: going to cost us more or whatever. We'd like our
11:22
Speaker 2: fruit loops to look different colors. And it's really not that.
11:25
Speaker 2: It's really not that important, is it not. If there
11:28
Speaker 2: could be a negative side effect, isn't it better to
11:31
Speaker 2: you know, put in some beet juice or whatever than
11:35
Speaker 2: red fifty or whatever it. So, so the question becomes, well,
11:41
Speaker 2: of course, why are people, Ah, Trump's doing something positive,
11:46
Speaker 2: He's doing something to help our kids that are Now
11:50
Speaker 2: I know, we could take it a step farther right,
11:52
Speaker 2: and we could say, hey, let's stop using our snap
11:57
Speaker 2: programs to buy foods that have these things in them.
12:01
Speaker 2: God forbid, just for saying that. You know, you're asking
12:06
Speaker 2: for trouble because you got all these big companies and go, hey,
12:08
Speaker 2: wait a minute, we need that snap money. What are
12:11
Speaker 2: you talking about? Can't mess with that, You can't know.
12:18
Speaker 2: We'll work on backing off some of the chemicals. I
12:20
Speaker 2: like the fact also too, if you've noticed every headline
12:23
Speaker 2: about the change and the colors, you know they're removing
12:27
Speaker 2: these deadly toxic chemicals from the food. What does that say,
12:34
Speaker 2: by the way, what does that say about our food
12:39
Speaker 2: and Drug administration that they've been allowing them to have
12:42
Speaker 2: these toxic, deadly chemicals in the foods? And then now
12:48
Speaker 2: because this is this is my take on this as
12:50
Speaker 2: a parent. If they say we're gonna we're gonna in
12:55
Speaker 2: the next three months or whatever, we're gonna get rid
12:57
Speaker 2: of all of the toxic dies, these deadly toxic dyes
13:01
Speaker 2: that are in your kid's foods or our foods. I
13:04
Speaker 2: know they say kids because they're trying to. It's like
13:06
Speaker 2: when anybody in Columbus, Georgia runs for office, it doesn't
13:10
Speaker 2: matter what you're running for. If you just put it's
13:13
Speaker 2: for the kids, people are gonna vote for you. It's
13:16
Speaker 2: an automatic. So you say you invoke the children. So
13:20
Speaker 2: when people say this is in three months, they're gonna
13:24
Speaker 2: get rid of these deadly toxic chemicals from our foods. Well,
13:28
Speaker 2: what about the next three months where kids are eating them.
13:30
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're calling them deadly toxic foods, shouldn't
13:33
Speaker 2: that be immediate. It's like saying the kids are outside
13:37
Speaker 2: playing with knives. You know, tomorrow we're not gonna let
13:40
Speaker 2: them do that. Right, they're out there, you know, spinning
13:45
Speaker 2: a revolver on their finger in the yard. It's loaded,
13:48
Speaker 2: but tomorrow will take the bullets out. I digress. Nobody
13:53
Speaker 2: can give him credit for that. Nobody's going to give
13:55
Speaker 2: him credit for trying to clean up the streets. They
13:57
Speaker 2: want the credit for clean up, but they're not cleaning
13:59
Speaker 2: up the streets. It works better. Their methodology of running
14:03
Speaker 2: the government works better when there's chaos. They need chaos
14:07
Speaker 2: in the streets. They don't need it cleaned up. And
14:09
Speaker 2: if somebody comes in and says we're gonna have law
14:11
Speaker 2: and order, that's where the common sense part of it
14:13
Speaker 2: comes in. Hey, we want law and order everyone in there.
14:16
Speaker 2: That's the role of government. It's the whole role. The
14:21
Speaker 2: role of government isn't to get your snap benefits so
14:24
Speaker 2: that you can go by toxic, deadly food. That's not
14:28
Speaker 2: the That's what some people think the role of government
14:30
Speaker 2: is it's not. I know, it becomes that, and look,
14:34
Speaker 2: we've got a system where that has to be there
14:37
Speaker 2: for a lot of Americans. It just has to be.
14:40
Speaker 2: It's the reality. But that was never the intention. You
14:44
Speaker 2: think our founders could have ever envisioned a time where
14:47
Speaker 2: there's a lot. They couldn't have envisioned. There's a lot.
14:51
Speaker 2: Those people were just begging, like praying, can we please
14:54
Speaker 2: have a child? As we're getting here and we're trying
14:58
Speaker 2: to we've got our farms and we want a child.
15:00
Speaker 2: They couldn't imagine, Eh, this child's going to be inconvenient.
15:05
Speaker 2: We don't want this one, not right now, maybe later
15:09
Speaker 2: in life, but not. They couldn't have imagined that. None
15:11
Speaker 2: of them could have imagined that. But they definitely couldn't
15:15
Speaker 2: have imagined that. You mean, so we're going to have
15:18
Speaker 2: X number of Americans at any given moment, like this
15:21
Speaker 2: is how they're going to get their all their food,
15:23
Speaker 2: This is how they're going to eat for how long?
15:26
Speaker 2: Like for the foreseeable future. Okay, they couldn't have imagined that.
15:30
Speaker 2: That's not what they wanted. It's not what they envisioned.
15:34
Speaker 2: That's not how they saw it government. You know, protect
15:38
Speaker 2: private property, protect citizens, that's it. That's what it was
15:41
Speaker 2: supposed to be. Protect us from foreign invaders. That's it.
15:47
Speaker 2: And believe me when people like to say, you know
15:50
Speaker 2: what about in the early days when Americans came here
15:53
Speaker 2: and settled and they took the land from other people,
15:55
Speaker 2: that's that's a reason. Remembering and studying history is reason
16:00
Speaker 2: to say, hey, borders are important. Just saying so a
16:07
Speaker 2: lot of Americans now in these high crime cities. Sorry,
16:11
Speaker 2: sometimes I just say the things that people don't want
16:13
Speaker 2: to say. And I'm on one of those kicks today.
16:16
Speaker 2: It's just coming out and that's the reality. But as
16:19
Speaker 2: far as crime in these cities, as far as the
16:23
Speaker 2: crime goes, and people saying we can't, this is what
16:26
Speaker 2: a lot of people were wanting want. They want to
16:30
Speaker 2: be able to live in a city where they can
16:32
Speaker 2: take a train to work, they can take a car
16:35
Speaker 2: to work and not worry about getting carjacked. They don't
16:38
Speaker 2: want to get robbed. They don't want to leave their
16:40
Speaker 2: house and come back and the house has been burgled.
16:44
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to be burgled. Who wants that? I can't
16:48
Speaker 2: think of a single person who wants to be burgled.
16:50
Speaker 2: I do know people who've repeatedly been burgled and they
16:53
Speaker 2: still vote for the leadership that's in the town they
16:56
Speaker 2: live in, not local, but they'll still vote for the
17:00
Speaker 2: leadership there because they're looking out for us. Are they
17:05
Speaker 2: couldn't somebody come in and maybe clean things up for you?
17:08
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be better off? And most of the citizens
17:10
Speaker 2: are saying yes, that would be great. It's the leadership
17:15
Speaker 2: and the party that is saying no, we don't need
17:17
Speaker 2: that because it would make them look bad, and it
17:20
Speaker 2: would make them look bad to those voters. Today's show
17:23

18:13
Speaker 2: from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's
18:16
Speaker 2: unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
18:20
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
18:22
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
18:26
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
18:31
Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
18:35
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
18:38
Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
18:43
Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
18:46
Speaker 2: Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
18:49
Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
18:53
Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
18:56
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events.
18:59
Speaker 2: Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean
19:03
Speaker 2: Crusan says, Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just
19:08
Speaker 2: remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science
19:11
Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
19:16
Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
19:19
Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
19:25
Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
19:28
Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
19:32
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
19:36
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
19:39
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
19:41
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
19:44
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
19:48
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
19:50
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:53
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
19:56
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
20:00
Speaker 2: an issue that you've got with colder, warmer weather. Sometimes
20:03
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
20:07
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
20:09
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
20:12
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
20:16
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
20:18
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
20:20
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid. You'd like to
20:23
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
20:25
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
20:28
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
20:30
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
20:33
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
20:36
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
20:39
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred

20:46
Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after
20:50
Speaker 2: the break, not even labored yet. It's almost Labor Day weekend.
21:02
Speaker 2: It's not Labor Day just yet, but we do already
21:06
Speaker 2: have we know where the Spirit Halloween is going to be.
21:10
Speaker 2: I don't think it's open yet. It wasn't open at
21:12
Speaker 2: last check, but it's coming and it's in the Joanne location.
21:16
Speaker 2: In many cities around that's where they jumped into the
21:18
Speaker 2: Joeanne fabric abandoned stores and Halloween is coming up fast.
21:24
Speaker 2: It happens you get passed and the Halloween stuff is
21:28
Speaker 2: in the stores that's already taken over, and it doesn't
21:31
Speaker 2: it's it's very quick you get past labor Day and
21:34
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, you're like, wow, we're rolling
21:37
Speaker 2: right on into spooky season. One of the people that's
21:41
Speaker 2: jumped on this very quickly are the folks at Oreo
21:45
Speaker 2: at Nabisco, and they've got Halloween themed Oreo cookies. The
21:51
Speaker 2: limited edition cookies two layers of cream, bright green and
21:55
Speaker 2: orange sandwich between the classic Oreo cookies. Each cookie comes
22:00
Speaker 2: with the Halloween theme design, vampires, cats, cauldrons. The snacks
22:05
Speaker 2: available at Target and Walmart stores while supplies last. Check
22:11
Speaker 2: your local listings. I don't know, I haven't seen them
22:14
Speaker 2: in the store myself, but I assume that they're in there.
22:18
Speaker 2: I just don't spend a lot of time on the cookiao.
22:21
Speaker 2: I know you look at me and you think sure,
22:23
Speaker 2: but I really don't spend a lot of time on
22:25
Speaker 2: the cookiao. The world of video games leveling up more
22:28
Speaker 2: and more as women getting more and more involved. Nearly
22:31
Speaker 2: half of all gamers around the world are now women,
22:35
Speaker 2: and mobile and casual games are driving the trend. The
22:38
Speaker 2: shift is pushing developers to rethink the way they design
22:41
Speaker 2: games and tell the stories inside the games. Moving forward,
22:45
Speaker 2: be on the lookout for more complex female characters and
22:47
Speaker 2: adventure games, and fewer shallow over sexualized female characters that
22:52
Speaker 2: have been featured in so many games in the past.
22:54
Speaker 2: We're looking at you. Lowercroft still a great character, and
22:59
Speaker 2: I like those movies. I like the first one, at
23:01
Speaker 2: least I don't really remember much about the second one.
23:03
Speaker 2: But Americans work hard. They put in an average of
23:08
Speaker 2: eighteen hundred and five hours per year, which is four
23:10
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy hours more per year than Germans. I
23:13
Speaker 2: don't know why this particular study is picking on the Germans,
23:17
Speaker 2: but that's what it says. Some number crunches at wallet
23:20
Speaker 2: hub wanted to break things down with even more detail
23:23
Speaker 2: and go state by state, so they looked at ten factors,
23:26
Speaker 2: average number of hours people work, number of people with
23:29
Speaker 2: multiple jobs, and they figure out where Americans work the hardest,
23:33
Speaker 2: and according to wallet Hub, North Dakota is the hardest
23:38
Speaker 2: working state in America, followed by Alaska, South Dakota, Texas, Hawaii, Virginia,
23:45
Speaker 2: New Hampshire, Wyoming, Maryland, and Nebraska. That's the top ten.
23:49
Speaker 2: Michigan is actually at the bottom of their list as
23:53
Speaker 2: the state where people work the least hard. Georgia did
23:58
Speaker 2: not crack the top ten, but it is sitting at
24:01
Speaker 2: number twelve in Alabama is at number twenty, So we
24:05
Speaker 2: can feel good about the fact that, you know, we
24:09
Speaker 2: didn't crack the top ten, but you know that's a
24:13
Speaker 2: pretty good top top half right for both just outside
24:17
Speaker 2: the top ten for Georgia, So that's not bad. I mean,
24:20
Speaker 2: that's all right, all right. So Serena Williams is getting
24:25
Speaker 2: some grief about selling golp ones. Have you seen this.
24:30
Speaker 2: It's Serena Williams and she announced that she's lost thirty
24:35
Speaker 2: one pounds and she says that it is injectable weight
24:41
Speaker 2: loss drugs that have helped her make the transformation. Since then,
24:46
Speaker 2: the backlash has come on social media and from some celebrities.
24:52
Speaker 2: Actress Jamila Jamil had a lengthy message on social media
24:56
Speaker 2: where she called out Serena Williams, saying she's now so
25:00
Speaker 2: telling GLP ones. The thing I feel most uncomfortable about
25:04
Speaker 2: here is that celebrities have access to doctors that most
25:07
Speaker 2: others don't have access to. These miracle and quotes. Weight
25:11
Speaker 2: loss drugs come at a price. If things go wrong
25:14
Speaker 2: and you don't have a billion dollars to fix it,
25:17
Speaker 2: that's why I don't like celebrities pushing drugs with such
25:20
Speaker 2: drastic documented side effects. That is one take. It's not
25:25
Speaker 2: the only person who has this take. A number of
25:29
Speaker 2: people are basically saying, hey, look, she's an athlete and
25:33
Speaker 2: an influencer, and she's basically saying you have to take
25:37
Speaker 2: medication to be healthy and have a certain standard of
25:40
Speaker 2: beauty and how that's disappointing. So look, I don't blame
25:46
Speaker 2: Serena Williams for seeing this as an opportunity to do
25:50
Speaker 2: this as an endorsement for a product. I just don't
25:53
Speaker 2: know if she was expecting the backlash. I don't know
25:57
Speaker 2: if anyone prepped her for it. But it is what
26:00
Speaker 2: it is, and I understand people's reaction. I don't necessarily
26:04
Speaker 2: disagree with it, but I hope she was prepared, because
26:09
Speaker 2: you know, this isn't cracker barrel, but it's not a
26:14
Speaker 2: good look in general for a pro athlete, somebody who
26:20
Speaker 2: has been an outstanding shape for their career and knows
26:23
Speaker 2: the formula, knows how to get in shape and lose
26:27
Speaker 2: weight without taking a drug. But I hope she was ready.
26:33
Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Wednesday edition of the show.

28:03
Speaker 2: fiction and the connections between where science fiction sometimes leads
28:09
Speaker 2: to science science sometimes leads to science fiction. It's just
28:12
