  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, twenty second day of April on West. Thanks
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: for joining me zipping all along through this week. That's
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: what we're doing. Listen. The main thing I want to
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: talk about today is one of those stories that you
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: kind of it's hard not to just kind of observe things,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: pay attention to things, pick up on things, and then
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: comment on things. And I know that this story is
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: being reported as a big like I can't believe that
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: this is what's happened, and there is a certain that
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: is all warranted. That is where you should be on
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: this particular subject. But I think not, And maybe I'm
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: dipping into conspiracy theory territory. I don't. I don't know.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Nowadays it seems like the conspiracy theory stuff and in
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: many cases, at least when it comes to government, starts
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: to have a little bit more a stable ground than
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: it used to. I'm not a conspiracy theory guy. I'm not. Typically.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: You know, there's things that I there's things that I
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: feel strongly about. There's things that I you know, I
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: can say I feel like this is probably what happened.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Don't have the evidence for it, can't swear by it,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: but it's mighty suspicious, right, it's a handful of those
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not one of those people obviously that's gonna go, oh,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: they didn't really just go to the moon and that
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: they're not They've never landed on the moon. And I'm
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: not one of those people. Okay, I'm not. That's not
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: me at all. There's certain things that I go, Yeah,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: this the flat earth thing makes no sense at all.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Like there's a lot of things that I would say
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: are absurd and ridiculous, and you know, count me out.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: And you know, there were some of these things that
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: happened when it came to the Epstein stuff, and it
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: was you know, we started getting into you know, some
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: of the like they ei're eating babies or they're drinking
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: baby's blood and all this stuff, and and that was
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you know, you could you could tell me that maybe
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: there's an organized group of people that are taking advantage
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: of children, kidnapping children and taking advantage you know, you
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: could sell me on that. You're not going to sell
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: me on this made up thing about drinking the adrenaline
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: from their blood. And that's that's that was all made
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: up stuff anyway, Okay, But I do think sometimes what
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: happens and I'm just I'm just putting this out there
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: because I think that this is sometimes the way that
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: this works. It's the psychological operation of the syop of
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: it is. You take something that is has some truth
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: to it, you know, potentially it's it may have some
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: truth to it, but just hypothetically something that is true,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: something that some would go this is definitely true, and
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: then you take find a way to make it a
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: little bit more extreme and crazy than it is, and
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: then it sounds ridiculously unbelievable, and then that part of
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: it not true, and then you can call it a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: conspiracy theory and you can say, well, this kind of
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: thing didn't happen, what are you talking about? And then
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: occasionally people say or do things that create a dynamic
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: where it's easier to say that this is crazy, you know,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: this is a bit too far. Sometimes those things happen.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Best example I can give of that, and again, I'll
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: be honest, it was one of those stories that happened
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: and then it just kind of went away. There were
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: people in Ohio back during the presidential debate when Trump
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and Biden debated each other, and somebody had said in
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Ohio that there were illegal immigrants that were eating pets
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: because they just didn't have any food. Then all of
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: that was, Oh, that's ridiculous. None of that happened. There's
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: no evidence of that, there's no none whatsoever, but the
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: fact that it got said out loud by someone running
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: for president, a former president, and then eventually the president
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: he said it out loud and it brought this attention
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: to it, and people were like, ah, no, no, the immigrants,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: None of the conspiracy stuff with the immigrants is true
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: because that's not true. And that's kind of the way
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: that they play the game. You know. It's the equivalent
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: of he'll hate me for this, but this is the way,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: like my fourteen year old works, Luke will say. Someone
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: will say to him like, hey, there's you know, not
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of chips left in that bag. Don't finish
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the bag, and he'll go, okay, I won't. And then
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: you go they go to get the chips later and
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: you open it up and there's one chip left in
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: the bag and it's been put away and you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: closed up and everything, and he's like, well, I didn't
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: finish it. That's kind of the game that gets played.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: You know, you're kind of finding the technicality on certain things.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: And I think sometimes when we can see that that's
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: been done to us, or we suspect that's been done
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: to us, it's hard not to, especially when it comes
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: to you know, the government, and you know, we're by
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: nature Americans aren't supposed to trust our government. It's something
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: that people outside this country don't understand, right, They just
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: don't understand that you're not supposed to trust your government,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: that they're probably doing something to take advantage of you. Right,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: And you talk to people and the people I know
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: in other countries, they just look at you this this
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: kind of weird look on their face of like I
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: don't get it. Of course they're looking out for your
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: best interests, and you go, okay, okay, that's that's you know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the whole basis for our revolution, and you know the
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: reason that we were you know, we're done with that.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: We're done. And you know, the Second Amendment and all
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: these things, our whole Bill of rights is based around. Yeah,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: you can't trust them, you just can't. You can't trust them.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: There's reasons not to trust them. You look at the
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: whole mess. And we talked about it yesterday, the Nick
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Shirley thing in California. I mean, they're trying to create
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: legislation that would stop someone for exposing the fraud that
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: they've committed allegedly. I mean, that's what he says. He's
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: got the evidence for it, and they want to create
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: laws that say he can't expose that. He can't go
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: out and do that because that would be a crime
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: against immigrants, illegal and otherwise, and you can't do that,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: you can't put them in a bad position. So that's
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: a great example of why you don't trust them. I
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: mean that alone, that is that's awful. Someone trying to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: expose corruption. And you think about the way that there
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: are a lot of folks on the left turned many
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: people into these vigilantes. When it came to Elon Musk,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: he was one of them, and then they turned on
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: him because because he turned on them, he supported Donald Trump.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: He helped Trump get into office. And they said, we'll
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: go out there and punish the people who wanted electric
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: cars by destroying their vehicles and make them suffer. How
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: dare you drive around in a car? You know, they
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: were calling them, what fascist mobiles and stuff and all
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: this just ridiculous, and that's reasons that you don't trust them.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: The very fact that they were able to manipulate people
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: into doing it is also part of all of this. Anyway,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: sometimes you see the things and you have to ask
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: the question. Now, we'll start with what we know as now.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: The Department of Justice is saying that the Southern Poverty
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Law Center used shell accounts, prepaid cards, and things so
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: that they could give money over three million dollars to
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: hate groups and not just enough. Keep don't mind, we're
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: talking about the Southern Poverty Law Center. Okay. The basis
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: for their fundraising as an organization is we're here to
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: fight racism. We're here to fight white supremacy. We're here
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: to you know, to get rid of racism. That's what
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: we want to do. That's one of our goals. So fraudulently,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: according to the Department of Justice, Cash Betel, director of
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: the FBI, who they're going after, by the way, because
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: he was drinking beer with the hockey team and they
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: say he's an alcoholic or whatever they're trying to say.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: They want to get him out of there. They don't
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: like him, so he along with the acting Attorney General
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Todd Blanche making an announcement yesterday, this indictment against the SPLC,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: and they say that this money that they've been you know,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: they say, fraudule funneling to extremist groups. All right, So
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: you may say, well, what's an extremist group. It sounds
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: like it must be some really like alt left, far
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: left thing right using shell accounts and prepaid cards. So
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: the people that they say there's there's supposed to be
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: dismantling groups that are, you know, pro white supremacy and racism.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: That's the goal of the SPLC. So according to the indictment,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: they were paying two hundred and seventy thousand dollars to
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: one of the people who was in leadership that was
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: organizing the Unite the Right protests in Charlottesville, Virginia back
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen, the infamous there were good people on
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: both sides lie that supposedly Trump said, somebody died there,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: other people were injured, and paying quarter of a million
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: dollars plus to part of the leadership of that Also,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: according to the indictment, between twenty fourteen twenty twenty three,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: they say that the SPLC gave at least three million
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: dollars to eight people, three of them, according to the indictment,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: allegedly affiliated with the KKK. Let's get an old school
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: when you're bringing out the k SO, the Ku Klux Klan,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: the United Clans of America, the National Socialist Movement, Area
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Nations Affiliated Sadistic Soul's Motorcycle Club, the Nationalist Socialist Party
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: of America, Nazis, and the American Front. In case you're
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: they're not following, they were giving money, according to this indictment,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: to people that they supposedly were going after trying to eliminate,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: the methodology, the strategy, everything that they were trying to
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: do was to take these people out. Blanche said it
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: was doing the exact opposite of what it told its donors.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: It was doing not dismantling extremism, but funding it. To
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: carry out this scheme, SPLC created bank accounts in the
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: name of at least five completely fictitious organizations and had
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: no bona fide employees or legitimate business purpose. He says.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: The money was passed from the SPLC to one sham account,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: to a second sham account, and then loaded onto prepaid
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: cards to give to members of the extremist groups. This
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: was designed to shield the source of those funds. Because
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: of this, the SPLC is also charged with one count,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: as I said earlier, conspiracy commit money laundering. He said,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: they set up shell companies and entities around America, So
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: the financial institutions that we rely on as everyday Americans
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: were deceived into believing that the money was not coming
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: from the Southern Poverty Law Center in the perpetration of
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: this scheme and fraud, but rather fictitious entities they stood
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: up to perpetrate this ongoing fraud. This is a serious
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: and egregious violation of a group that purported to dismantle
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: violent extremist groups, but in turn actually only fueled that hatred.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: So he's touching on some of this in it, and
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: this is just this is where to me. You kind
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: of you can say, and I guess I don't know.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Folks on the left would probably say that it's all conspiracy.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: But if you were part of an organization that you
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: kind of need, you need the bad guys, right, if
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: you don't have the bad guys anymore, if you don't
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: have the KKK and all of those aryan racist sounding names,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: clans of whatever, and socialist this and that. If you
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: have none of those people, you don't have a need
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: for the SPLC. Right, that's the first thing. I know.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: It's not the best or the most popular of movies
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: from especially even from the franchise, but there's a line
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: in the Grid in a movie that I have been
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: to love even though it's terrible, and you have to
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: understand I have a strong passion and love for one.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I've got several bad movies that I like, but maybe
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: my favorite bad movie of all time is the third
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: installment in the Smoky and the Bandit franchise, and part
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: of what I love about it is that it's so
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: bad that the high points in the movie that stand
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: out are some of the Jackie Gleeson just kind of
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: cutting loose and just firing off Jackie Gleason type lines
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: in it. But there is a line in the movie
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: where it seems, I don't want to spoil it, you
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: probably haven't seen it, and you probably if you watched it,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: you would hate me. But that's okay. It's but there's
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: a line in the movie where the bandit has the
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: opportunity banded in quotes. It makes sense if you watch
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: it has an opportunity the snowman. How about I say
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: that the snowman has an opportunity to eliminate bufordt t Justice,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: get him out of the picture. And he decides not
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: to do it because, as he says, can you have
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: a bandit if you don't have a smoky And I
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: think that this applies to this. Can you have an
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: SPLC if you don't have you know, the klansmen to
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: go out and fight. That's that's one question. Okay, that's
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: the best case scenario. They're giving themselves a reason to
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: continue to exist. The worst case scenario is are they
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: funding some of these hate groups to have more hate
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: and more events? Like are they funding people to go
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: out and you know, in the case of Charlottesville kill somebody,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: are they are they providing funding for that kind of
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: stuff to happen? God knows. We've seen that we have
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: the riots that often lead to someone getting injured, lots
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: of property. There's been this thing for years where people
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: they raise these suspicions about some of the school shootings
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: and they go, this just seems odd. The attempt on
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: President Trump's life where he got shot in the ear,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: people go something's not adding up with this, Charlie Kirk,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: people saying something's not adding up with this. And again,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: these are not things where I go into the conspiracy stuff.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I'm just pointing out that sometimes there's things that just
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: have this feel to them like there's something not right,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: and people go, well, how would they have made this happen?
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: What would they have done? Well, here's our blueprint. Here's
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: a blueprint for how some of these things might have
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: gone sour and or just been off. We know how
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: they went, so we know what was sour about them,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: we know how they everything got ugly. But this could
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: be a blueprint. I mean, is this the only organization
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: that's doing this? Are there others? We know that the
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: riots and protests are being funded by, like people are
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: being paid to go and do them. By the way,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: and again, don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: you know, we're we're we're getting through. We're getting through
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: this phase of twenty twenty six, and we've already had
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: you know, we've had some rioting and things. We've already
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: dealt with some of that, most of it tying to ice.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: They wanted to give it time to calm down again.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Get Ready, we're going to have some more incidents involving
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: ice and things. We're going to have more rioting by
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: the time we get to November. Brace yourself for that.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: We may hit some here coming up in primary season,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: and get ready, there's going to be some more bad
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: things that are going to take place. It's the way
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: that things happen. We had our off year last year.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: And again, I don't want to be a conspiracy guy,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: but there's just a trend for all this. Something bad
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: happens and then things kind of play out and people
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: want to take advantage of it for political reasons. But
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: here's a classic example right here. I mean, this is
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: something that based on this indictment, this is a blueprint
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: for how someone could funnel money around and fund the
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: very things that they're going We have to stop this.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: This is terrible. Look at this rise in white supremacy
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: that's going on in our country. Where does our look
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: at all? The racism is worse than ever? Look at
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: how bad it is. And yeah there's people who say
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: it's worse than ever. I mean, read a history book,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: first of all. I don't think you have to look
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: very far back to see that this isn't the worst
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: it's ever been. You don't have to go far. There
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: should be just a basic comprehension of US history, and
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: you know, this isn't the worst that it's ever been.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: So here we have this indictment. We see where all
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: of this goes as it moves forward. But it is
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: interesting the blueprint is there, and I think we're kind
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: of getting a very suggestive take on all of this
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: from the Department of Justice. They seem to think, you know, hey,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: if you're funding it and also fraudulently ripping off people
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: that are donating to you, that's the other part of it.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: And if people are donating to it and they know
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: what's happening with it and they don't care, and that's
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: another problem too. Today's show brought to you by Columbus

  Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
• 20:11

• 21:21
  Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got with colder or
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.

  Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door. System that
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid, you'd
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: for you as well. And again they do after hours calls.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six three five eight forty

• 22:35
  Speaker 2: right after the break. Prom season has been in full
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: swing for a little while, and I know we got
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: a few more schools still to do them. My son's
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: school's got his coming up in a few weeks. And
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: some things to consider with this this year. And keep
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: in mind, when I went to my prom, which was
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: a long time ago, I knew about what it costs to,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: you know, rent a tux back then. I had no
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: idea what it costs now. And I only just recently
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: learned what it costs now, and it is going up
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: quite a bit, quite a bit. And obviously that's not
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: the only part of it, like renting a tux isn't Obviously,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: girls have their dresses, and I'm sorry, I don't be sexist.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: People have their dresses, people have their tuxes, people have
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: their flowers whatever. Sorry, the girls in their dresses and
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: the guys in their tuxes. And according to some analysis
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: by Wi Fi Talents this year, the estimated cost is
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: about a thousand bucks per student once you add up
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: to close the tickets, transportation, hair pictures, everything else. They
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: say girls usually spend more about four hundred dollars on
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: outfits and beauty alone, boys about two point fifty for
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: tux rentals and accessories. Yeah, a lot of the tux
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: rentals are too fifty. That's that's a lot more. I
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: think it was probably about one hundred, maybe one hundred
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: and twenty one when it was my time. Some other
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: interesting facts, ninety two percent of high schools hold a
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: prom every year. Prom attendance peaked at about eighty five
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: percent in the nineties. It's now at about seventy percent.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Rural schools have a ten percent higher prom attendance than
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: urban schools. Sixty five percent go with a romantic date,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: twenty five percent go solo or with friends, ten percent
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: will go with a family member. Eighteen percent of dates
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: become a couple after the prom. Bow ties out sell
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: long neckties three to one for the prom. About half
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: of prom dates have a prom posal. You've seen those,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: you know that's ridiculous. Forty percent admit to drinking before
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: the prom, and you need to be on top of
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: that parents. And about ninety percent of prom nights include
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: some amount of alcohol. Anyway, So I say this, this
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: is kind of relevant, this info because, like I said,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: my kids prompts coming up, and just a reminder. And
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not getting paid in any way to do this
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: or to say this. I'm just mentioning it because I've
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: known the Dabbitt family that are the owners of the
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: ns Men's Warehouse in Columbus. There are options places where
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: you can buy a tux for less than or the
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: same as you would pay to rent one, and then
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: you have it. You could have it for next year.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I'm just throwing that out there, and you know I
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: used to do a lot of radio remotes for E
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: and S and that was one of their catchphrases. Anyway,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: we got Jake squared away. And I appreciate Philip and
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: co there at n S for getting a squared away.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I do appreciate them very much. And I've known Philip
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: and and family for a long time and I appreciate
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: them getting us squared away. So we're all set and
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: nowhere close to the rental fee as far as you know,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: getting him squared away. So just keeping that in mind,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: by the way, and even if you don't have a
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: kid going to prom this year and you're going to
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: be in the next few years, just keep that filed
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: away in the back of your brain, because I've had
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: it filed away in the back of mine since you know,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: I was doing those radio remotes back in the day.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Does a messy home cause stress in your life? If so,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: you are not alone. A new survey says sixty four
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: percent of Americans say they can't fully relax unless their
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: home is clean, and that pressure is costing them time, energy,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: and fun plans that they would like to have. On average,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: people miss out on social events, skip hosting guests, or
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: argue at home because clutter feels overwhelming. Seventy percent say
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: cleaning feels like a never ending task, soaking up almost
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: six hours a week. Younger adults, especially Gen Z and millennials,
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: say they feel wiped out after doing chores, which is
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: probably why seventy percent say that being an adult is
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: a lot less fun than they thought it would be. Yeah,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: adulting is hard, It's just how it goes. If you're
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: feeling sick or dealing with an ailment, if your first
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: course of action is to ask chat GPT, what's wrong
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: with you, then you're kind of in a group of
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: about twenty five percent of Americans who do that. More
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: and more people are turning to AI for health advice
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: than deciding whether or not to actually go to the doctor.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: What's kind of troublesome with that is that more and
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: more people are just skipping the doctor altogether. A new
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: national survey finds that about one in four US adults
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: have used AI tools to look up symptoms or prepare
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: for appointments, but about fourteen percent say AI advice led
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: them to skip seeing the doctor. Cost, long wait times,
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: after hours questions driving the trend. Health experts warren AI
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: can help explain information, but it's not a substitute for
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: professional medical care, especially when the symptoms are serious. So
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: keep all that in mind. Just keep it in mind
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: as you're trying to figure out what's what does this
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: little thing look like? And I've taken a picture of
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: like I'm saying, is this a problem? Does this look bad?
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: But ultimately you need a doctor to actually look at it.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've had things on my skin and then
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: I go I need to go to the dermatologists. I
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: don't care what AI says. I need to go to
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: the dermatologists. I need to get it looked at. So
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: that'll do it for this Wednesday edition of the show.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
