Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, fifth day of June. I'm West Thanks for
0:13
Speaker 2: joining me almost the weekend. Man, we're already almost a
0:17
Speaker 2: week deep into June. A lot of people talking about
0:22
Speaker 2: this is that we're the halfway point of the year. No,
0:24
Speaker 2: we got to get a couple more weeks, gotta get
0:27
Speaker 2: to July, and really a couple of days into July.
0:31
Speaker 2: We're not quite at that point. But it's zipping right along,
0:33
Speaker 2: no doubt, no doubt whiplash from it zipping right along,
0:39
Speaker 2: for sure. I want to talk a little bit this
0:42
Speaker 2: morning about a couple things. I do feel like it's
0:48
Speaker 2: worth mentioning this whole thing going on with Greta Tunberg
0:51
Speaker 2: as she's floating along headed her way on this what
0:57
Speaker 2: are they calling it, the flotilla, the freedom Flotilla coalition.
1:03
Speaker 2: She's apparently I don't know what the connection here with
1:08
Speaker 2: climate clim Remember, climate was her whole cause, that was everything.
1:12
Speaker 2: It was all about the climate. How dare how dare you? Well,
1:17
Speaker 2: that's not me making fun of her. I've said for
1:19
Speaker 2: a long time I felt like she was being a
1:21
Speaker 2: borderline abused by family. Remember there's the story, and again
1:27
Speaker 2: it's been a long time and I didn't dive back
1:29
Speaker 2: into it this morning. But the stories about someone other
1:33
Speaker 2: than her were posting on her social media, on her behalf,
1:36
Speaker 2: and they got caught doing that. At least that was
1:39
Speaker 2: the story from back in the day. And again, you know,
1:44
Speaker 2: people will say, oh, she looks weird, she's kind of odd.
1:46
Speaker 2: I think that's not fair because I don't know if
1:50
Speaker 2: I've heard that she's on the spectrum, which maybe she is,
1:54
Speaker 2: and I don't think that's a reason to make fun
1:55
Speaker 2: of anybody. If she's very passionate about topic like the climate,
2:01
Speaker 2: that's fine. But now that she's literally floating into trying
2:06
Speaker 2: to deal with things in the Middle East, in the
2:08
Speaker 2: Gaza strip, and you know, Israel made it clear that
2:12
Speaker 2: we'll deal with it. A ship floating with a Palestinian flag,
2:16
Speaker 2: we will deal with it as it should be dealt
2:19
Speaker 2: with if it starts coming into our shores. So I mean, they,
2:22
Speaker 2: you know, carefully monitoring. They confirmed as of yesterday they're
2:27
Speaker 2: carefully monitoring the flotilla. I don't necessarily think that, you know,
2:34
Speaker 2: this is you know, you get some people from from
2:38
Speaker 2: Game of Thrones and a few others on this thing.
2:42
Speaker 2: I don't know that they're a danger, but you know,
2:44
Speaker 2: it's fair to keep an eye out when you got
2:47
Speaker 2: something that's heading your way flying the Palestinian flag. And really,
2:53
Speaker 2: I mean, this doesn't seem to be in her wheelhouse.
2:56
Speaker 2: It was all about the environment. And then we're gone
2:59
Speaker 2: onto a different virtue signaling. I don't know, I don't
3:03
Speaker 2: know what we're I don't know what we're doing there,
3:04
Speaker 2: but you know, good for her, whatever she's got to do.
3:07
Speaker 2: Just know that when we used to say don't make
3:11
Speaker 2: fun of her, she's a kid, and I say, don't
3:14
Speaker 2: make fun of her if if you're all you got
3:15
Speaker 2: is that she looks weird or whatever. But you know,
3:18
Speaker 2: if you want to make fun of the causes, she's
3:20
Speaker 2: not a kid anymore. She's in her twenties. Now. I
3:23
Speaker 2: think she started on this boat. Maybe she was a kid.
3:26
Speaker 2: And now you know, because in God bless her, at
3:28
Speaker 2: least she sticks to some sort of creed because she
3:33
Speaker 2: does not jump on private jets and fly to these,
3:37
Speaker 2: you know, climate meetings, the way that a lot of
3:40
Speaker 2: celebrities and political activists do. At least she sticks to Hey,
3:44
Speaker 2: I'm going to be on a boat, I'm going to
3:46
Speaker 2: float around. It just takes her a really long time
3:49
Speaker 2: to get very much done. And suppose maybe that's why
3:51
Speaker 2: she's going to have other people on her behalf posting
3:56
Speaker 2: on her social media. But anyway, so that's going on.
3:59
Speaker 2: That be interesting to keep an eye on as we
4:03
Speaker 2: and now the other thing to really be tracking now
4:06
Speaker 2: is that there it's funny on so many levels that
4:11
Speaker 2: we have had a number of Democrat politicians and activists
4:19
Speaker 2: that are trying so desperately to get the attention of men,
4:28
Speaker 2: and they're doing everything but the things that they need
4:30
Speaker 2: to do to get the attention of men, especially young men.
4:36
Speaker 2: And I think that when you look back at this
4:38
Speaker 2: past election and what transpired in this election, as we
4:43
Speaker 2: saw the basically the Joe Rogan audience type listener, the
4:56
Speaker 2: kill Tony audience. If you're not familiar with kill It,
5:01
Speaker 2: just I'll remind you who that is. That's the comedian
5:04
Speaker 2: who spoke at the Trump rally in New York and
5:08
Speaker 2: made a joke about Puerto Rico being the floating pile
5:11
Speaker 2: of garbage that people had been talking about again, as
5:15
Speaker 2: we talked about on the show, it was a weird
5:17
Speaker 2: place for him to be doing that kind of comedy,
5:23
Speaker 2: but you know, that's somebody who wanted to support Trump.
5:27
Speaker 2: That is someone who was supporting Trump, and that was
5:30
Speaker 2: you know, kind of how he could do it. I mean,
5:33
Speaker 2: that's what he does, roast comedy. That's his thing. That's
5:37
Speaker 2: his show, Tony Hinchcliff. When I said kill Tony, that's
5:41
Speaker 2: his show. But that's what people refer to him as,
5:42
Speaker 2: but his name Tony Hinchcliffe. So desperately trying to find
5:46
Speaker 2: that audience, the podcast audience was a big part of
5:51
Speaker 2: ultimately what tipped the election, and people are aware of that.
5:56
Speaker 2: I don't know that You've got people that are above
5:58
Speaker 2: a certain age that are still struggling with this idea
6:02
Speaker 2: of you know, just take your phone and press play
6:04
Speaker 2: and then you can listen to whatever you want. They
6:07
Speaker 2: still have this reliance of well, I have to see
6:11
Speaker 2: my local TV news anchor tell me or I have
6:13
Speaker 2: to still you know, all I can do is listen
6:17
Speaker 2: to whatever in the city that I live in. What
6:20
Speaker 2: minimal option I have when it comes to being able
6:24
Speaker 2: to listen to some sort of news talk, Those of
6:28
Speaker 2: you who followed me from from news talk radio to
6:32
Speaker 2: hear thank you. You're you're on the side that understands
6:36
Speaker 2: how to do this. Those of you who aren't listening,
6:40
Speaker 2: you're not hearing it. But there are still some of
6:42
Speaker 2: them that are just you know, well, I guess I'll
6:45
Speaker 2: just listen to whatever they stick on here. They took
6:47
Speaker 2: away the local aspect. They took away really in many ways,
6:53
Speaker 2: the true sort of conservative side of it. And some
6:57
Speaker 2: of the news talk radio people are fine. I don't
7:00
Speaker 2: have issues with that, but some of what some cities
7:03
Speaker 2: have as options, it's pretty limited. And people that said
7:06
Speaker 2: it's a real shame what they did with you and
7:09
Speaker 2: Scott and your show, and we loved it, and I thought, well,
7:13
Speaker 2: you know, you can still at least hear me. I mean,
7:16
Speaker 2: Scott's still doing sports, Scott's not doing this, but you know,
7:20
Speaker 2: Scott's been on this show. But the people who said
7:22
Speaker 2: it's a real shame what they did, I said, well,
7:24
Speaker 2: you're getting them back by not listening to it and
7:26
Speaker 2: not listening because I don't know what else to do.
7:28
Speaker 2: I don't have a choice, and they think, what you do,
7:31
Speaker 2: You just got to figure it out. So that's the
7:33
Speaker 2: first thing is the fact that the left wants to
7:36
Speaker 2: find a way to connect with an audience with a podcast.
7:39
Speaker 2: The problem is they don't have anyone to do that.
7:42
Speaker 2: There's not someone who is really connecting on a political
7:47
Speaker 2: level of the podcast. Many of the shows that you're
7:51
Speaker 2: going to hear when it comes to folks on the
7:54
Speaker 2: left are going to be people who understand that the
8:00
Speaker 2: far left mentality on these shows it's it's and when
8:03
Speaker 2: we talked about this a little bit yesterday, it's like
8:06
Speaker 2: the Air America that failed that Mark Marrin and a
8:10
Speaker 2: few others were involved in. It just didn't work, just
8:15
Speaker 2: didn't fit, just didn't happen. And part of why is
8:19
Speaker 2: because people don't typically just sit and listen to these
8:22
Speaker 2: things on the far left. There tends to be this
8:26
Speaker 2: sort of structured, built in way that that message gets delivered.
8:30
Speaker 2: It typically needs to have an audience, and we've also
8:33
Speaker 2: addressed this in the past, but it needs to have
8:35
Speaker 2: an audience. It needs to have a crowd of people
8:39
Speaker 2: cheering on whatever it is, because sometimes the things that
8:43
Speaker 2: get said are so absurd and ridiculous. If there's not
8:46
Speaker 2: an applause track or a laugh track, to go with it.
8:50
Speaker 2: Then it doesn't quite have the same way to resonate
8:55
Speaker 2: with the audience. So the people at home maybe hear
8:58
Speaker 2: some ridiculous thing and then go, I don't know about that,
9:05
Speaker 2: but they hear the audience clapping and cheering, and there's
9:07
Speaker 2: a certain amount of reinforcement of well, this is what
9:10
Speaker 2: everybody thinks, this is what's there, or it's a talk
9:14
Speaker 2: show that claims to be a comedy show, you know,
9:18
Speaker 2: like Jimmy Kimmel or some of the HBO shows. Now
9:21
Speaker 2: Bill Maher, it's still the same, but he's at least
9:25
Speaker 2: making an effort to try to get some of the
9:28
Speaker 2: more ridiculous ideas from the left out of the way
9:31
Speaker 2: and understanding that some of the more middle of the
9:36
Speaker 2: road conservative ideas aren't so ridiculous. But still it's the
9:41
Speaker 2: same structure. You get the show. The audience claps, they laugh,
9:44
Speaker 2: they tell you, hey, this is exactly what you need
9:47
Speaker 2: to think. It's a bit of a programming thing. Late
9:51
Speaker 2: night talk shows went that way. There was a point
9:53
Speaker 2: where you had Carson and you had the pre nine
9:57
Speaker 2: to eleven letterman, Conan O'Brien and some of those people
10:02
Speaker 2: that their goal was to come on the show and
10:05
Speaker 2: make jokes and be funny, and you to be entertained,
10:08
Speaker 2: and then you move on.
10:09
Speaker 1: That was the goal.
10:10
Speaker 2: You watch it at night, you fall asleep, and then
10:13
Speaker 2: the next day, you know, you get on with your
10:15
Speaker 2: day and your life. And then at some point Carson
10:18
Speaker 2: was gone. I think Leno probably really stuck to the
10:21
Speaker 2: same old format for a long time. Fallon did for
10:23
Speaker 2: a while, but even he now he's got out. He's pressure.
10:27
Speaker 2: He's an SNL guy. But talk shows definitely when Letterman
10:32
Speaker 2: said it was too important to just be funny, we
10:36
Speaker 2: had to be making a message and trying to do that.
10:39
Speaker 2: So there's a structure the way that the left does things,
10:42
Speaker 2: and just sitting there and talking isn't the way to
10:44
Speaker 2: do it. It's not what they've been successful at. So
10:47
Speaker 2: they try to be a little bit more moderate with
10:50
Speaker 2: some of their shows, or maybe they try to work
10:52
Speaker 2: politics into shows that aren't really political in nature, which
10:57
Speaker 2: is probably more successful when it comes to podcasts, then
11:02
Speaker 2: trying to just be like, we're going to be an
11:04
Speaker 2: extreme far left show, but you got people like Gavin Newsom,
11:08
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna sit down and talk with people. And
11:11
Speaker 2: while he sits down and talks with people on the
11:13
Speaker 2: other side. They come back and they say, you just
11:16
Speaker 2: said that. You never said dot dot and you definitely
11:19
Speaker 2: said that. Well, no, no, I didn't say that. Maybe
11:22
Speaker 2: someone on my team did. No, no, no, you said it.
11:24
Speaker 2: We heard you say it, we know you said it.
11:26
Speaker 2: That hasn't gone well. Michelle Obama is not really trying
11:30
Speaker 2: to appeal to that male audience. I don't know exactly
11:34
Speaker 2: who she's trying to appeal to. But that also hasn't
11:37
Speaker 2: gone over especially well. There's a number of these shows
11:40
Speaker 2: that haven't gone well. But what you have now, and
11:44
Speaker 2: this has been the case now for a couple of months,
11:46
Speaker 2: is a number of Democrat politicians and activists that have
11:50
Speaker 2: decided the only way to try to reach I guess
11:54
Speaker 2: that sort of Joe Rogan audience, right, the kill Tony audience,
12:00
Speaker 2: is they feel like they've got to swear. They think
12:05
Speaker 2: that by being raunchy and trying to be comedians, trying
12:08
Speaker 2: to make jokes, that's what's going to appeal to that audience.
12:14
Speaker 2: They see a number of these comics that they say, well,
12:16
Speaker 2: wait a minute, they've all pushed over to the right
12:19
Speaker 2: somewhat at the very least somewhat many of them consider
12:22
Speaker 2: themselves moderate. Joe Rogan endorsed Trump. I don't think Joe
12:27
Speaker 2: Rogan is anything more than a libertarian. He's got some
12:32
Speaker 2: left views, he's got some right views, and he's just
12:35
Speaker 2: trying to look at things from a more realistic approach.
12:38
Speaker 2: And when the left is saying lots of crazy things,
12:42
Speaker 2: he can't stand for it. His audience can't stand for it.
12:45
Speaker 2: And that's what makes sense to that audience. You can't
12:50
Speaker 2: just sit on there and say, Hi, I'm Gavin Newsom
12:52
Speaker 2: and all that stuff that you've heard me say in
12:53
Speaker 2: the past never happen, or Hi, I'm Eric Swallwell and
12:58
Speaker 2: I'm just going to start wearing on the radio. And
13:03
Speaker 2: that's I guess what Swallwell has done on The Breakfast Club,
13:08
Speaker 2: which not a podcast, but there's a podcast aspect to this,
13:14
Speaker 2: but it's got a huge audience. Appeals to a typically
13:18
Speaker 2: a black audience, doesn't mean there aren't white people that
13:21
Speaker 2: listen to it, and they have a very young demographic.
13:25
Speaker 2: They're hitting that eighteen to twenty five year old audience
13:28
Speaker 2: that a lot of radio stations look for. They definitely
13:32
Speaker 2: have a lot of male listeners and they are that's
13:38
Speaker 2: who they appeal to. So there you go, Eric Swalwell
13:42
Speaker 2: going on that show and just ripping off swear words
13:49
Speaker 2: for the purposes of trying to connect with that audience.
13:54
Speaker 2: And I think the best part is he showed up
13:56
Speaker 2: wearing a trucker hat, like that's going to be the thing. Like,
13:59
Speaker 2: if you look Eric Swaell, the last thing you do
14:03
Speaker 2: is see like, this is a trucker hat guy. This
14:07
Speaker 2: is a trucker I'm not a trucker hat guy. Like
14:10
Speaker 2: I can't even pull that look off. And I am
14:12
Speaker 2: not Eric Swollwell. I can't pull that off. So this
14:17
Speaker 2: is something and you've seen a number of the folks
14:21
Speaker 2: on the left doing this, people that just think it's
14:24
Speaker 2: funny or that it's cute or whatever it is that
14:26
Speaker 2: they're trying to do. And this is just an attempt.
14:30
Speaker 2: I mean, they're trying to trick voters into thinking that
14:35
Speaker 2: this is who we are, this is what we're about,
14:38
Speaker 2: and this is what we're going to do.
14:41
Speaker 3: To appeal to you.
14:43
Speaker 2: Not change your platform, not change the tactics, the specific
14:47
Speaker 2: tactics of you know, their Nazis, their fascists, all these
14:51
Speaker 2: horrible things. They just think by peppering in swearing, that's
14:56
Speaker 2: all that's been missing. It's not the of, hey, let's
15:01
Speaker 2: let women have women's sports for one right, something that
15:06
Speaker 2: appeals to a very very small percentage of Americans, but
15:12
Speaker 2: willing to throw an election away in the name of no, no, no,
15:16
Speaker 2: we're standing up for people, and listeners of podcasts that
15:23
Speaker 2: here any of that are going, what about the women.
15:28
Speaker 2: Why aren't we sticking up for women in sports? That
15:30
Speaker 2: was a big thing for us to have to do.
15:32
Speaker 2: So they're not willing to make changes on the things
15:36
Speaker 2: that they've dug in on. They seem to think that
15:38
Speaker 2: that's still the most important thing. It's important to keep
15:41
Speaker 2: people in the country that have come in illegally, have
15:46
Speaker 2: committed crimes while they're here or before they got here.
15:49
Speaker 2: We're actually on the deportation watch lists to be taken away,
15:54
Speaker 2: and then when they get deported, they fight for them,
15:57
Speaker 2: not for the people who the crimes have been committed against.
15:59
Speaker 2: And that's the other part part of this that I
16:00
Speaker 2: think a lot of Americans don't get, especially young men.
16:03
Speaker 2: Where's the fairness? Why aren't we sticking up for the victims?
16:06
Speaker 2: Why are we sticking up for the perpetrators. So just
16:09
Speaker 2: by throwing some swear words around out in public, in speeches,
16:14
Speaker 2: during interviews, on the radio, on TV, anywhere they can
16:19
Speaker 2: get up a podcast. If they just start firing off
16:21
Speaker 2: swear words, they seem to think that that's going to
16:24
Speaker 2: be the thing that's gonna win over voters. They don't understand.
16:28
Speaker 2: It's like the stand up comic who thinks they can
16:32
Speaker 2: just go on stage, you know, throw out a couple
16:35
Speaker 2: of swear words, and there's no actual substance to the
16:38
Speaker 2: stand up. There's no actual substance to the jokes. They're
16:42
Speaker 2: not thought out jokes. They're just look, we're just going
16:45
Speaker 2: to stand up here, talk to you, throw some swear
16:47
Speaker 2: words and then wait on you to laugh. And it's
16:51
Speaker 2: still not working. It's not getting things done, it's not
16:54
Speaker 2: making any progress, and quite frankly, they should probably keep
16:58
Speaker 2: doing it because it will end up with failure in
17:02
Speaker 2: the midterms and failure in the next presidential cycle. Today
17:06
Speaker 2: Show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola
17:10
Speaker 2: Space Science Center.
17:11
Speaker 3: Hey everyone, this is doctor Sean Crusin. I'm the executive
17:14
Speaker 3: director of Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
17:18
Speaker 3: I want to tell you about a very special exhibit
17:21
Speaker 3: that we have on display the summer. It's so big
17:24
Speaker 3: that it can't even fit in our own exhibit gallery.
17:27
Speaker 3: It's just too many pieces. This is a collection of
17:31
Speaker 3: items from the personal collection of astronaut David R. Scott.
17:37
Speaker 3: Dave Scott flew on Gemini eight with Neil Armstrong, he
17:40
Speaker 3: flew on Apollo nine a dress rehearsal for the moon landing,
17:44
Speaker 3: and then most importantly perhaps he commanded Apollo fifteen, where
17:48
Speaker 3: he became the first person to ever drive a car
17:50
Speaker 3: on the service of the Moon. Because Dave's brother, Tom
17:54
Speaker 3: lived and worked here in Columbus, Georgia, with our Columbus
17:57
Speaker 3: Chamber of Commerce, we got to be good friends with.
17:59
Speaker 3: Tom has coordinated a very generous donation of artifacts and
18:04
Speaker 3: memorabilia from the Scott brothers collection to us here at
18:08
Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center. And again, that collection got
18:12
Speaker 3: so overwhelmingly large we couldn't put it on display here.
18:15
Speaker 3: That's why we're doing the exhibit at the Bow Bartlet Center.
18:18
Speaker 3: They are open from eleven am to four pm Tuesday
18:21
Speaker 3: through Saturday. Go down and check out this great exhibit.
18:25
Speaker 3: On display at the Bow Bartlet Center. Check out all
18:27
Speaker 3: the other wonderful pieces of art work down there as well,
18:30
Speaker 3: and then come visit us here at Columbus State University's
18:33
Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center.

Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
18:38
Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
18:42
Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
18:47
Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
18:50
Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
18:54
Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of square and that
18:57
Speaker 2: away for you, and while they're there, you can always
18:59
Speaker 2: ask the questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
19:02
Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
19:05
Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
19:08
Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
19:11
Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
19:15
Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
19:18
Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
19:21
Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
19:24
Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
19:28
Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
19:30
Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
19:33
Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
19:38
Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
19:39
Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
19:42
Speaker 2: man cavid, you'd like to be able to open the
19:44
Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
19:46
Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
19:49
Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
19:52
Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
19:55
Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
19:58
Speaker 2: and they do those as well. Seven sixty five eight

20:09
Speaker 2: Show right after the break, Well, today is the day
20:20
Speaker 2: for the switch to Were you one of the people
20:24
Speaker 2: who got one at midnight oh one last night? So
20:27
Speaker 2: people around the country apparently were doing that. It's another
20:31
Speaker 2: one of those items that has that kind of sizzle,
20:36
Speaker 2: that kind of pizzazz, that kind of excitement. There were
20:39
Speaker 2: people getting their hands on them late last night. Many
20:43
Speaker 2: people had pre ordered them and that caused a bit
20:47
Speaker 2: of a panic earlier in the week as today's official
20:51
Speaker 2: launch day with some people who had placed pre orders
20:55
Speaker 2: in the US and in England and had them canceled
20:59
Speaker 2: and they thought, oh, we're all set for getting the
21:02
Speaker 2: new game console day one, And apparently it costs a
21:05
Speaker 2: lot of scrambling this week, with store suggesting customers will
21:08
Speaker 2: still get a chance to buy the console next month,
21:12
Speaker 2: and some of the customers will be getting some store
21:15
Speaker 2: credit to help ease their pain if they weren't able
21:18
Speaker 2: to have their pre order in place. So we'll see
21:23
Speaker 2: how it goes for the rest of the day today
21:25
Speaker 2: and into the next few days and weeks. How the
21:29
Speaker 2: new switch. To my kids, they're excited, but they've said,
21:35
Speaker 2: you know, we're in no rush. There's no big rush.
21:37
Speaker 2: We don't have to have this thing right away. This
21:40
Speaker 2: is a good time of year to launch it. You
21:42
Speaker 2: still have plenty of time for the folks at Nintendo
21:46
Speaker 2: to test the first run, get them in place by
21:49
Speaker 2: Black Friday, and of course get them in time for Christmas.
21:52
Speaker 2: So there's always that kind of hanging out there.
21:55
Speaker 1: I guess.
21:56
Speaker 2: Apparently the four day work week is working. Back in
22:00
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen, Iceland started experimenting with four day work weeks,
22:05
Speaker 2: letting employees work just thirty six hours over four days
22:09
Speaker 2: with no loss of pay. The early results were positive,
22:12
Speaker 2: so they expanded the four day work week in twenty nineteen,
22:16
Speaker 2: and it seems to be a success at least there.
22:20
Speaker 2: Productivity has remained stable, even increased in some industries. Government
22:25
Speaker 2: officials suggest that it happened because a reduction in stress,
22:29
Speaker 2: along with a better work life balance has helped with
22:34
Speaker 2: mental health and effectiveness of their workers. I have said
22:38
Speaker 2: for a while now that I'm an advocate of cutting
22:42
Speaker 2: the you know, again, I'm not an expert, but I've said,
22:47
Speaker 2: as long as we've got people that are screaming at
22:49
Speaker 2: the top of their lungs, that people need to get paid,
22:52
Speaker 2: you know, twenty five thirty dollars an hour for you know,
22:58
Speaker 2: basic jobs that used to be men on wage jobs.
23:01
Speaker 2: And I'm not discounting those jobs. I'm just pointing out
23:03
Speaker 2: the fact that if you're saying that, do you think
23:04
Speaker 2: the minimum wage needs to be thirty or forty dollars
23:06
Speaker 2: an hour, that maybe one of the ways that you
23:09
Speaker 2: could balance that out is that you cut the work
23:11
Speaker 2: week down so you pay somebody you know, twice the
23:15
Speaker 2: minimum wage or a little more than twice the minimum wage,
23:17
Speaker 2: and then you cut the hours down to like twenty
23:20
Speaker 2: hours a week, and then they have the opportunity to
23:24
Speaker 2: go find a second job if they want to, or
23:27
Speaker 2: they just have more time to spend money or whatever
23:31
Speaker 2: it is they do with their time. That was something
23:33
Speaker 2: that I was pushing. But you know, I guess a
23:35
Speaker 2: thirty six hour I don't know what's wrong with a
23:37
Speaker 2: thirty two hour work week. Why are we you only
23:39
Speaker 2: take four What do they do thirty six hours? Yeah?
23:41
Speaker 2: Why do they only take four hours out of the
23:43
Speaker 2: work week? Anyway, there was a recent quarter mile drag
23:48
Speaker 2: race between a and Again I don't do cars, so
23:50
Speaker 2: if I say some of these names wrong, just excuse me.
23:54
Speaker 2: Between a twenty twenty five C eight Corvette z R
23:57
Speaker 2: one Corvette, a Ferrari S ninety, and a Lamborghini Revuletto.
24:03
Speaker 3: That's the one.
24:03
Speaker 2: I didn't know if I was gonna say it right.
24:05
Speaker 2: The Lamborghini got the jump off the line, but the Corvette,
24:09
Speaker 2: with its monstrous one thousand and sixty four horsepower engines,
24:14
Speaker 2: surged ahead for the win. The Ferrari was nowhere near
24:18
Speaker 2: the two at the end. Considering both the Ferrari SF
24:22
Speaker 2: ninety and a Lamborghini Reveletto both costs more than a
24:25
Speaker 2: half a million dollars, anyone who gets their hand on
24:28
Speaker 2: a z R one which hits the market in a
24:31
Speaker 2: few weeks is getting somewhat of a bargain, especially if
24:34
Speaker 2: you're gonna be racing price less than two hundred thousand dollars.
24:38
Speaker 2: So all right, that'll do it for this Thursday edition
