0:01
Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day and you're listening to the West Carrol.
0:08
Speaker 2: Morning Show, Monday morning, sixteenth day of March. I'm wes,
0:15
Speaker 2: thanks for joining me. As my ancestors might have said,
0:22
Speaker 2: you know, Saint Patrick's Day Eve. Probably not, that's probably
0:27
Speaker 2: not what they said, but they could have the possibility.
0:31
Speaker 2: They would have. You know that Carol blood runs deep
0:37
Speaker 2: man excited. I was hanging out with a friend yesterday
0:42
Speaker 2: and this friend has a family that's said mostly like
0:47
Speaker 2: on one side of the family, mostly German, and I said,
0:50
Speaker 2: you're and I was listening. We were in the car
0:51
Speaker 2: and I was listening to a Saint Patrick's Day mix
0:56
Speaker 2: that I had, and I said, your people have oked Hobrafest.
1:02
Speaker 2: My people have Saint Patrick's Day, so you have to
1:04
Speaker 2: excuse you have to excuse the music. And then this
1:07
Speaker 2: friend pointed out that, you know, her mom has got
1:11
Speaker 2: Irish heritage, and I was like, oh, well, never mind,
1:13
Speaker 2: then let's dive in. Let's dive in. Let's do it.
1:18
Speaker 2: I like the I like any I accumulate over the years,
1:22
Speaker 2: more and more music for my for my Irish mix.
1:27
Speaker 2: So uh, by the way, And in case you're curious,
1:31
Speaker 2: this song that Jake and I like to kick off
1:34
Speaker 2: the Saint Patrick's Day with every year is Hello Patsy Fagan.
1:38
Speaker 2: So if you're not familiar with that one, you should be,
1:41
Speaker 2: and you should be, uh, you know, that should be
1:44
Speaker 2: how you start your day tomorrow. That should be the plan.
1:48
Speaker 2: I'm actually recording tonight on the Sunday to release this.
1:53
Speaker 2: Drop this as the kids say whatever they say. Now
1:56
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm not even sure what they say anymore.
2:00
Speaker 2: But this will be, you know, for the normal release
2:02
Speaker 2: for tomorrow morning, because which is you know, you're getting
2:05
Speaker 2: this on Monday morning, So we're going to pretend it's
2:07
Speaker 2: Monday morning, but there's some severe weather expected in a
2:13
Speaker 2: few hours from now. I'm recording this as the oscars
2:15
Speaker 2: are still going on, so I'm not going to have
2:17
Speaker 2: a whole I mean, I'm going to talk about the oscars,
2:19
Speaker 2: but I'm not going to be really talking so much
2:21
Speaker 2: about the results. I've seen a few of the winners,
2:25
Speaker 2: you know, one it's kind of funny and we'll get
2:28
Speaker 2: to it, I guess. But it just kind of fits
2:32
Speaker 2: in with something interestingly that I want to talk about
2:35
Speaker 2: in the show. But in a second, we'll get to that.
2:38
Speaker 2: The severe weather. And again, this is a show that
2:41
Speaker 2: we because it's a podcast, and you might be listening
2:45
Speaker 2: to this show in a month even and some people
2:49
Speaker 2: do that, they go back and listen to episodes. Thank
2:52
Speaker 2: you for that, God bless you for that. So some
2:55
Speaker 2: just get caught up, maybe you're a week behind. But
2:59
Speaker 2: in this particular instance, because this is a pretty significant
3:02
Speaker 2: weather event that's taking place in parts of the country,
3:05
Speaker 2: it's this huge cold front that's coming through and it's
3:09
Speaker 2: pushing a severe line, expected to push a severe line
3:11
Speaker 2: of storms through tomorrow morning. It will be going on
3:17
Speaker 2: as this show officially releases. So I hope you know,
3:22
Speaker 2: hang in there. I hope you're having a decent night
3:25
Speaker 2: wherever you are, if you're involved in this storm system
3:29
Speaker 2: at all. It's going to follow for us in this
3:32
Speaker 2: area with some pretty severe cold weather coming up right
3:34
Speaker 2: after it. It's it's it's kind of a wild you know,
3:38
Speaker 2: mid March storm system that's coming through, but it happens
3:42
Speaker 2: we have strange weather here in this part of Georgia,
3:45
Speaker 2: this you know, West Georgia, East Alabama area where we're
3:50
Speaker 2: located primarily, and we just get it. We get these
3:52
Speaker 2: the false springs or false falls that we get sometimes
3:56
Speaker 2: as the seasons actually start to change, and this has
4:00
Speaker 2: been no exception this year. This is just sort of
4:02
Speaker 2: what we do sometimes, and I just we're just hoping
4:07
Speaker 2: that the weather's going to hold up, and I don't
4:09
Speaker 2: know what the conditions will be in the morning. And
4:11
Speaker 2: that's part of why I said, let's go ahead and
4:13
Speaker 2: record this tonight and get a show done, because if
4:17
Speaker 2: there is a power outage here by some chance, I
4:20
Speaker 2: wouldn't be able to do it in the morning anyway.
4:22
Speaker 2: And I thought, well, I'll go ahead and do this
4:24
Speaker 2: now and have it ready to go. And I'm not
4:28
Speaker 2: going to talk about anything overly time since, except for
4:31
Speaker 2: the fact that if you're listening to this as it
4:33
Speaker 2: releases early in the morning, and there's a chance that
4:36
Speaker 2: you may not have power, and if you don't, you
4:38
Speaker 2: may not want to be using your cell phone battery
4:41
Speaker 2: on a podcast. I appreciate it if you are, but
4:45
Speaker 2: just all of those things to consider. But maybe you're
4:48
Speaker 2: in the car heading to work and you're able to
4:49
Speaker 2: listen and you don't have to worry about it. And
4:52
Speaker 2: if that's what you're doing just be careful on the roads.
4:55
Speaker 2: If this storm is still going on. I think it's
4:56
Speaker 2: supposed to go until at this point they're expecting it
4:58
Speaker 2: to go to eleven or twelve o'clock in the day
5:03
Speaker 2: on Monday, and schools for our area varying things going on.
5:08
Speaker 2: My kids do not have school tomorrow. There will be
5:11
Speaker 2: no school Monday for their school district. Some of the
5:15
Speaker 2: other schools doing the same. Some others are saying we're
5:18
Speaker 2: just going to delay start. My kids' schools decided last
5:24
Speaker 2: week with a similar storm that they would just have
5:27
Speaker 2: a delayed start by an hour, and it was worked out,
5:35
Speaker 2: but probably could have made a different call earlier, and
5:38
Speaker 2: I think that's part of why they went ahead in
5:40
Speaker 2: this case and made this particular call. So I'm glad
5:44
Speaker 2: that they did. The kids are kind of in this
5:47
Speaker 2: gap between the third quarter of the year into the
5:53
Speaker 2: final quarter of the year, so they're kind of in
5:55
Speaker 2: this awkward It's a good timing for that, is what
5:58
Speaker 2: I'm getting at. Uh So, what I want to talk
6:01
Speaker 2: about today is media and movies and and the oscars
6:07
Speaker 2: have to come up in it. I saw a tirade
6:12
Speaker 2: if you will, done by Bill Maher when he has
6:18
Speaker 2: these comments that really kind of I want to use
6:23
Speaker 2: an I want to use a good Irish expression, but
6:26
Speaker 2: it is I want to take the urine out of you,
6:28
Speaker 2: all right, I'll say it that way. They want to
6:31
Speaker 2: really kind of humble you a bit. And when he
6:34
Speaker 2: when he when he comes up with something that fits
6:36
Speaker 2: with that, and I just see these clips sometimes because
6:40
Speaker 2: they're there. There's some gold occasionally that comes from this guy.
6:44
Speaker 2: And he's not a conservative. People have thought always starting
6:46
Speaker 2: to be more conservative. I just think he's been more
6:49
Speaker 2: left of center. I think there's some things he's probably
6:52
Speaker 2: still pretty far to the left on, but he's not
6:55
Speaker 2: extreme far left. He's not the extremeist, the all left
7:00
Speaker 2: or whatever whatever term would be appropriate for the woke,
7:05
Speaker 2: the far woke people like whatever term, because you know
7:08
Speaker 2: they did the all oh, they're alt right. They support
7:12
Speaker 2: things like, you know, small government, they're alt right. I
7:16
Speaker 2: don't know what makes that alt right. That just makes it.
7:19
Speaker 2: You know what, the what the people who died wanted
7:22
Speaker 2: for the country in settling and founding this country, that's
7:26
Speaker 2: what they died for, was those kinds of freedom, small
7:29
Speaker 2: government and individual rights and individual liberties and not an oppressive,
7:36
Speaker 2: overreaching government that wants to, I don't know, crush you.
7:41
Speaker 2: It wants to come out of a pandemic and crush you.
7:47
Speaker 2: So we need this alt left term, I think. I
7:49
Speaker 2: think we need it for the people who think that,
7:51
Speaker 2: you know, men should be playing women's sports and those kinds.
7:54
Speaker 2: I think that qualifies as alt left, doesn't it. So
7:58
Speaker 2: Mar not an alt left guy, but he is. It
8:01
Speaker 2: did take some shots at Hollywood and the Oscars, and
8:05
Speaker 2: he basically laid out what many on the right have
8:09
Speaker 2: been arguing now and the reason that viewership from people
8:12
Speaker 2: on the right stopped watching the Oscars. Now. I have
8:17
Speaker 2: this weird relationship with the Oscars in that when I
8:22
Speaker 2: was a kid, I liked watching the show. My mom
8:25
Speaker 2: liked to watch it and I like to watch it
8:27
Speaker 2: with her, And I really liked movies a lot. I
8:29
Speaker 2: think a lot of my love for movies came from
8:31
Speaker 2: my mom, and we would watch the Oscar Show together.
8:36
Speaker 2: We just liked seeing the you know, the celebrities all together.
8:40
Speaker 2: We liked seeing the movies talked about, we liked hearing
8:43
Speaker 2: the speeches, and you know, we got to kick out of it.
8:46
Speaker 2: That was something that we did together. We got to
8:47
Speaker 2: kick out of it, and at some point in my
8:51
Speaker 2: life I just decided, you know, there were, at whatever
8:54
Speaker 2: stage it was, the number of Oscar winners that there were, I,
9:00
Speaker 2: you know, all the best pictures I should probably watch,
9:04
Speaker 2: you know, just sit down and watch all of the
9:06
Speaker 2: best Picture winners. I've watched most of them. I think
9:11
Speaker 2: I'm still in the ninety percent range of them that
9:14
Speaker 2: I've seen all time. I didn't watch last year's yet.
9:18
Speaker 2: I will. The one I think about a prostitute. You're
9:21
Speaker 2: not supposed to say that anymore. You're supposed to say
9:23
Speaker 2: about a an alternate tradesmen or whatever. They don't want
9:28
Speaker 2: you to say, you know, someone who works in the
9:32
Speaker 2: sex trade. That's not what they want you to say.
9:35
Speaker 2: Someone's selling flesh. They don't want you saying that. They
9:39
Speaker 2: have other things that they want you to say. And
9:42
Speaker 2: I don't remember what it is, to be honest, but
9:45
Speaker 2: I just you know, it's about a prostitute, is what
9:46
Speaker 2: it was. It was like Pretty Woman, except more violent.
9:50
Speaker 2: So it sounds like an Oscar winner to me. So
9:54
Speaker 2: I haven't watched it yet. I will at some point.
9:57
Speaker 2: The only time there was there's been one time that
10:02
Speaker 2: I said if this movie wins, I will not watch
10:05
Speaker 2: that movie. And that was the movie what is it
10:10
Speaker 2: to let Me call you by my name or whatever?
10:13
Speaker 2: To call me by my name or your name or something.
10:16
Speaker 2: It was a movie about a grown man and an
10:18
Speaker 2: underage child having a relationship together. I mean, seventeen, sixteen, seventeen, whatever.
10:23
Speaker 2: It is still not viewed as okay in this country.
10:29
Speaker 2: But because it was about an adult man and a
10:33
Speaker 2: you know, child, a teenage boy, you know, then it's different,
10:37
Speaker 2: at least in the Hollywood standard. Oh this is fine,
10:41
Speaker 2: this is okay. It's about love that concerned me. I
10:47
Speaker 2: just think that's a very slippery slope to start going down.
10:50
Speaker 2: And if you're going to try to make the case,
10:51
Speaker 2: and I would argue that if this was a movie
10:54
Speaker 2: specifically about a hookup between an adult man and sixteen
11:00
Speaker 2: year old girl, this is a whole different conversation about
11:04
Speaker 2: this movie. There was obviously the scene in it was
11:09
Speaker 2: the Kevin Spacey movie and Mina Savari how You Say
11:13
Speaker 2: Her Name? Where she was the daughter's friend and he
11:18
Speaker 2: was fantasizing about her. See that that was close to
11:24
Speaker 2: the line, that was towing the line, But it wasn't
11:27
Speaker 2: about them actually hooking up. Right, This was about a
11:32
Speaker 2: man and a boy hooking up. And in an age
11:36
Speaker 2: when people want to not call them pedophiles anymore and
11:39
Speaker 2: they want to call them minor attracted peoples, I think
11:43
Speaker 2: we have to pay attention when that slope starts to
11:47
Speaker 2: starts to become a reality. So Bill Maher went after
11:52
Speaker 2: the Oscars and said, we're you know, the Oscar so
11:58
Speaker 2: White movement that came along and said that they're going
12:00
Speaker 2: to change the standards on Stop me if you've heard
12:05
Speaker 2: me talk about this before, but when the Oscars became
12:08
Speaker 2: less about what's the best movie or best performance and
12:12
Speaker 2: more about what's your race? When was the last, sometime,
12:16
Speaker 2: last time someone from your race won this award? And
12:20
Speaker 2: did your movie to qualify meet the standards that we
12:26
Speaker 2: have to have. You have to have, you know, someone
12:30
Speaker 2: in the creative team had to be a less represented
12:35
Speaker 2: race or group. You had to have a number of
12:39
Speaker 2: the crew had to be from you know, a minority group.
12:43
Speaker 2: You had to have Basically, I guess a number of
12:49
Speaker 2: the actors had to as well. I don't know. Mars
12:52
Speaker 2: point was the same thing that I've been saying for years.
12:55
Speaker 2: We're not necessarily awarding the best movie. We're just awarding
13:01
Speaker 2: based on this set of criteria that even lets you
13:05
Speaker 2: be qualified to try to win. And he pointed out, hey,
13:09
Speaker 2: we've won. Hey, Oscar so White, you won. It's done.
13:14
Speaker 2: Now it's time to go back to let's let you
13:16
Speaker 2: make a movie about whatever you want to make it about,
13:19
Speaker 2: and cast whoever you want to cast, and hire whoever
13:21
Speaker 2: you want to hire, because that's not currently what you
13:24
Speaker 2: can do with the Oscars. True point, and then he
13:28
Speaker 2: went on to point out that you know, there were
13:30
Speaker 2: certain conditions that came along. They would give Oscars to
13:33
Speaker 2: certain people based on whether or not they'd get another
13:36
Speaker 2: chance to win at some point. And then I thought
13:38
Speaker 2: it was comical last night when they gave Sean Pennant award.
13:41
Speaker 2: He's apparently good friends with Bill Maher, and I thought, Ouch,
13:45
Speaker 2: that kind of hit a little close to home, didn't it.
13:49
Speaker 2: So that's and I don't expect the viewership to be
13:54
Speaker 2: high for this Oscars. It's you've alienated about half the country.
14:00
Speaker 2: I'm not planning I haven't watched any to this point.
14:02
Speaker 2: I'm not planning to watch any of the show. I
14:05
Speaker 2: have no interest in it. I'll check tomorrow and see
14:08
Speaker 2: which movie won Best Picture, and at some point I'll
14:11
Speaker 2: probably watch it. I don't know of any of them
14:14
Speaker 2: have any topics that should be considered you know, criminal,
14:19
Speaker 2: but based on our society, like if it's about something
14:24
Speaker 2: that's would be considered you know, child porn, if this
14:30
Speaker 2: were a documentary, right, just such a slippery place to
14:34
Speaker 2: go anyway, So this is on the heels. OSCARS is
14:38
Speaker 2: happening just after I guess. Scott Pelley from CBS, the anchor,
14:45
Speaker 2: longtime anchor for CBS, veteran, I guess, but he recently
14:51
Speaker 2: took a shot at the previous owners at CBS over
14:54
Speaker 2: the Trump lawsuit. When they settled the lawsuit, this was
15:01
Speaker 2: a tribute that they were doing to Bill Owens, their
15:05
Speaker 2: old boss, who ultimately I guess, had to resign. Many
15:08
Speaker 2: in the staff apparently said that Leslie Stall was one
15:11
Speaker 2: who said that she would have resigned right behind him,
15:14
Speaker 2: but he urged them to stay put. And Pelly said
15:18
Speaker 2: that the owners at CBS faced political pressure and crumbled,
15:24
Speaker 2: and this was the lawsuit basically where they you know,
15:26
Speaker 2: they did some editing in an interview with Kamala Harris,
15:29
Speaker 2: trying to help her out in her campaign instead of
15:32
Speaker 2: you know, finding the story that was there. They were
15:34
Speaker 2: trying to help a candidate win an election. And Trump's
15:39
Speaker 2: team called it election interference, which you know, it's what
15:43
Speaker 2: it sounded like to me if you're helping a candidate,
15:47
Speaker 2: as you know, one of the major networks that is
15:51
Speaker 2: supposed to be looking out for the betterment of the country,
15:56
Speaker 2: not for one party. It's supposed to be this supposed
15:59
Speaker 2: to be a news organization. This isn't an opinion thing,
16:03
Speaker 2: and that's what they had turned it into, and that
16:05
Speaker 2: was the reason for the lawsuit. And you know, CBS decided, hey,
16:08
Speaker 2: we're we're going to do this and settle this. And
16:12
Speaker 2: it fits right in with this idea of Hollywood, of
16:16
Speaker 2: the news media, of the music industry. So much of
16:20
Speaker 2: all of it has been coming from this place of
16:24
Speaker 2: you know, we are going to dictate who's in charge.
16:29
Speaker 2: We're going to dictate who's allowed to be awarded and
16:32
Speaker 2: applauded in our community. We're going to dictate all these things.
16:37
Speaker 2: And as you start to lose a little bit of
16:39
Speaker 2: that control, even if you've just got somebody like Bill Maher,
16:42
Speaker 2: which by the way, most of those people at the Oscars.
16:46
Speaker 2: A lot of them probably don't like Bill Maher, especially
16:48
Speaker 2: not after this little tirade about the Oscars that he did.
16:53
Speaker 2: But when you start to feel that you're losing that grip,
16:58
Speaker 2: it becomes a desperation thing to try to hang on
17:01
Speaker 2: to it. You want to do everything you can in
17:04
Speaker 2: a moment of desperation to just try to hang on
17:06
Speaker 2: to it. And you know this is Joe rogan I
17:09
Speaker 2: Guess on his show had a comment where he just
17:11
Speaker 2: basically talked about Hollywood in general, you know, in his
17:16
Speaker 2: early days working in TV and news radio, Great show,
17:22
Speaker 2: and he just said, Hollywood is just full of fake
17:25
Speaker 2: people and it's political group think, and that's what it is,
17:28
Speaker 2: and that's the reality of what it is. And it's
17:31
Speaker 2: why a lot of people have just decided, you know,
17:33
Speaker 2: there's entertainment that you still want to enjoy. But you
17:37
Speaker 2: have people in those entertainment companies saying, you know, what
17:39
Speaker 2: else are you going to watch? And it's led some
17:42
Speaker 2: people to say, we'll go do our own thing. And
17:46
Speaker 2: the quality maybe isn't quite all there yet. You don't
17:49
Speaker 2: have a mass place for this entertainment to get made
17:53
Speaker 2: at this level, but or at this quality of some
17:58
Speaker 2: of these movies. You're not going to be able to
17:59
Speaker 2: make Better Man, or you're not going to be able
18:01
Speaker 2: to make an Avengers movie without the permission of Hollywood
18:05
Speaker 2: and the companies who own those things.
18:08
Speaker 1: But you are.
18:11
Speaker 2: Able to at least make them aware that you're not
18:15
Speaker 2: going to spend all your money with them, and you're
18:16
Speaker 2: not going to support all their things, and you're not
18:18
Speaker 2: going to watch their stupid award shows. Today's show brought
18:21
Speaker 2: to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center,
18:25
Speaker 2: inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and
18:31
Speaker 2: STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean,
18:35
Speaker 2: they do it for school age kids as school age
18:38
Speaker 2: kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they
18:40
Speaker 2: also do it through their university programs where you can
18:44
Speaker 2: learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and
18:50
Speaker 2: STEM fields are booming right now, and you can learn
18:53
Speaker 2: more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC.
19:01
Speaker 2: While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming programs.
19:05
Speaker 2: They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the
19:09
Speaker 2: Schwob School of Music from Columbus State University. Called Music
19:12
Speaker 2: under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you
19:16
Speaker 2: can get anywhere else. It's one of those things that
19:18
Speaker 2: when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is
19:22
Speaker 2: this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a
19:25
Speaker 2: major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside
19:31
Speaker 2: the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and
19:35
Speaker 2: the new season of Music under the Dome. Check out
19:37
Speaker 2: upcoming dates for the shows, and also check out when
19:42
Speaker 2: the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can get outside.
19:45
Speaker 2: Sometimes you do it at the Co Cola Space Science Center.
19:48
Speaker 2: Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You
19:52
Speaker 2: don't want any light interference, and you can do that
19:54
Speaker 2: as well upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website,
19:58
Speaker 2: it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan says Charlie Charlie

20:12
Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of
20:15
Speaker 2: Columbus for all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
20:20
Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
20:24
Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
20:28
Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
20:31
Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away
20:34
Speaker 2: for you, and while they're there, you can always ask
20:37
Speaker 2: them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
20:40
Speaker 2: like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb
20:43
Speaker 2: appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and
20:46
Speaker 2: you need some repair work done to the outside door.
20:48
Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
20:52
Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
20:55
Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got
20:58
Speaker 2: with colder or warmer webs there. Sometimes that stuff gets
21:01
Speaker 2: in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation
21:05
Speaker 2: where you'd like to add a screen door to your
21:07
Speaker 2: garage door system that you can put down and you
21:10
Speaker 2: can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor
21:14
Speaker 2: but indoor. You know, if you like to work on
21:16
Speaker 2: your own cars in there, or maybe you just want
21:19
Speaker 2: a little man cavid. You'd like to be able to
21:21
Speaker 2: open the door up and not invite all the insects
21:23
Speaker 2: in they can do that for you as well, and
21:26
Speaker 2: again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than
21:29
Speaker 2: that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage
21:32
Speaker 2: and your garage door won't open and you need somebody
21:34
Speaker 2: to come help, and they do those as well. Seven
21:38
Speaker 2: oh sixty five eight forty five hundred, seven oh six
21:40
Speaker 2: three five eight forty five hundred o dccolumbus dot com
21:46
Speaker 2: More West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break, Hoppers
21:57
Speaker 2: topp to the weekend box office with the twenty eight
22:01
Speaker 2: and a half million dollars second week at number one.
22:03
Speaker 2: There remember reminders, remembers, reminders of him, well, I mean
22:07
Speaker 2: you got to remember him to have reminders undertone. Scream
22:11
Speaker 2: seven and Goat were the top five at the box
22:15
Speaker 2: office over the weekend. I just think we need to
22:22
Speaker 2: acknowledge the fact that those poor Canadians as the US
22:27
Speaker 2: and the Olympic team in the Paralympics won the gold
22:33
Speaker 2: medal in hockey over the Canadians. First time a country
22:38
Speaker 2: has swept I think all three of those gold medals,
22:42
Speaker 2: and definitely the first time to do it against the
22:45
Speaker 2: same country every time. That's got to hurt just a
22:49
Speaker 2: little bit, you know, that's got to sting a little bit,
22:53
Speaker 2: especially when you are, in fact, you know Canada. I
22:59
Speaker 2: mean you would think that you know Canada, but I
23:04
Speaker 2: mean they're right there. But the US winning all of
23:08
Speaker 2: those pretty awesome moment. And congratulations to the men's Paralympic team.
23:13
Speaker 2: That's fantastic work and took all three gold medals. It's
23:18
Speaker 2: pretty exciting stuff there. House hunters on Long Island, New
23:22
Speaker 2: York are being tempted by bargain priced homes going for
23:26
Speaker 2: just three hundred and twenty nine thousand dollars, about half
23:28
Speaker 2: what the other houses in the area are getting, and
23:33
Speaker 2: the reason for the discount is the home is missing bedrooms.
23:39
Speaker 2: There's a cottage in the town of Selden has a
23:41
Speaker 2: living room, dining area, kitchen, and full bathroom along with
23:44
Speaker 2: the basement, featuring a room that could be converted into
23:47
Speaker 2: a half bathroom, laundry room, and for easy access or escape.
23:51
Speaker 2: The back door opens directly into the bathroom, but no bedroom.
23:59
Speaker 2: I think you can make that work. I mean, I'm
24:01
Speaker 2: assuming there might be some room to add a but
24:03
Speaker 2: why not, I mean, is there nothing in the basement
24:10
Speaker 2: that could be used as a bedroom. I don't know.
24:12
Speaker 2: It's interesting though. But for if you want to live
24:14
Speaker 2: on Long Island and you want to, I mean, three
24:20
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars house on Long Island, that's got to
24:22
Speaker 2: be a good deal. I would like to maybe tour
24:25
Speaker 2: this place, have a look around, you would think, I mean,
24:30
Speaker 2: it is a narrow, kind of long, straight house as
24:33
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it, but I'd kind of like to
24:37
Speaker 2: dive into. So Anyway, if you've been feeling weirdly wiped
24:44
Speaker 2: out after using AI at work, you're not alone. Researchers
24:49
Speaker 2: say that AI brain fry is a real thing. A
24:52
Speaker 2: study published in the Harvard Business Review found using too
24:55
Speaker 2: many AI tools doesn't automatically make you more productive, and
25:00
Speaker 2: in fact, once workers hit four more tools, productivity drops.
25:03
Speaker 2: Some mental fatigue spikes. People report feeling overloaded, foggy, overwhelmed,
25:09
Speaker 2: like having a dozen browser tabs open in your head.
25:12
Speaker 2: The big culpriate oversight when workers have to read, check,
25:16
Speaker 2: interpret everything AI generates often across multiple tools that itself
25:22
Speaker 2: drains your attention and ramps up stress. People end up
25:25
Speaker 2: spending more mental effort, not less. It's not just annoying,
25:30
Speaker 2: it's costly. Burned out workers more likely to make mistakes
25:34
Speaker 2: and even consider quitting. I want to go back to
25:37
Speaker 2: this dozen browser tabs open in your head? What's what's
25:41
Speaker 2: what's what's wrong with that? What do you mean? How
25:46
Speaker 2: is that not just normal? I don't understand. I live
25:51
Speaker 2: that all the time, and I have I don't know
25:55
Speaker 2: how many. I can't count them all, but I have
25:57
Speaker 2: I think one hundred currently opened at the top of
26:00
Speaker 2: my computer screen.
26:02
Speaker 1: I'm looking.
26:03
Speaker 2: I think it's at one hundred and one. That's how
26:05
Speaker 2: many it was. So what's wrong with that? These are
26:09
Speaker 2: things I need to go back and check out later.
26:11
Speaker 2: Hey remember those high sugar super caffeinated Charge Lemonade drinks
26:15
Speaker 2: that Panera discontinued back in twenty four after two people
26:18
Speaker 2: died and multiple people sued the chain. Well they're bringing
26:23
Speaker 2: them back, sort of, Panera rolling out two new drink lines,
26:26
Speaker 2: Frescas and Energy Refreshers, and four fruity flavors. The new
26:33
Speaker 2: Energy Refreshers do have caffeine, but a light amount, roughly
26:37
Speaker 2: what you'd get from a cup of tea. The discontinued
26:40
Speaker 2: Charge Lemonade drinks at nearly a full days recommended caffeine
26:44
Speaker 2: in a single large cup. I could get down with
26:49
Speaker 2: those frescas though, right are they were getting the frescas
26:54
Speaker 2: and fruity flavors as well. I like the different flavored frescas.
26:57
Speaker 2: You can't find those anymore, but the old school original
27:01
Speaker 2: fresco is pretty good too, though, I gotta be honest,
27:04
Speaker 2: I was a fan. All right. That'll do it for
27:07
