Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Monday morning, seventh day of April. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:15
Speaker 2: joining me. Back to school posts bring break for most
0:19
Speaker 2: of the area. I guess if they hadn't already taken
0:23
Speaker 2: some spring break, they were doing it last week. And
0:26
Speaker 2: back at it for kids in the Muscogee County School
0:31
Speaker 2: District and many of the schools in the area as
0:35
Speaker 2: they get back to it this week, here we go
0:38
Speaker 2: a little bit of changes for some of the schools.
0:40
Speaker 2: I guess if your school was affected, you know about it.
0:42
Speaker 2: If your school wasn't affected, you may not know. But
0:46
Speaker 2: because of some teesplost money, you know my thoughts on
0:50
Speaker 2: the tea splosts all this. If it says splost, you
0:52
Speaker 2: know my thoughts on it. Not a fan, not a
0:56
Speaker 2: fan of the splost. And this is more chaos from
0:59
Speaker 2: the splost, but for different reasons. So the construction that's
1:04
Speaker 2: taking place in parts of Columbus. That spider junction, it's
1:10
Speaker 2: a spaghetti junction. It's a spider junctions. Several roads intersect
1:14
Speaker 2: at the same place, and there's train tracks that run
1:17
Speaker 2: through there, and because of that, it's having an impact
1:21
Speaker 2: on the morning commute for many of the or certain
1:26
Speaker 2: not many, I don't know if it's many. It's several
1:29
Speaker 2: schools that are impacted, particularly high schools. I guess it's
1:33
Speaker 2: affecting also some middle schools and some elementary schools. But
1:38
Speaker 2: the adjustments I guess that were made, the ones that
1:40
Speaker 2: I'm aware of, were specifically to the high schools. It
1:43
Speaker 2: has an impact on our house because Columbus High is
1:47
Speaker 2: one of the schools that was affected. So it'll be
1:49
Speaker 2: a slightly later start time for some of the schools,
1:55
Speaker 2: some of the high schools, and then a very very
1:58
Speaker 2: slightly later release time, which at first what we were
2:03
Speaker 2: told is it could be, you know, a pretty significant
2:07
Speaker 2: delay in starting and then a delay and release. And
2:12
Speaker 2: I don't think that one sat well with many, and
2:15
Speaker 2: I don't think it should. I think if you've got
2:17
Speaker 2: after school activities, including sports, maybe an after school job,
2:23
Speaker 2: this wasn't going to go well for kids that maybe
2:25
Speaker 2: had had a job after school where you know, they
2:29
Speaker 2: maybe had a small window to get to work, even
2:31
Speaker 2: if it's just a few hours, even if it's just
2:34
Speaker 2: two days a week, pushing the end time of school
2:38
Speaker 2: back significantly would have had a big impact. They pushed
2:40
Speaker 2: it back. I think five minutes not going to have
2:43
Speaker 2: a big impact on pickup times, but the morning start
2:47
Speaker 2: we got a little bit more time this morning when
2:50
Speaker 2: it comes to when it comes to drop off for
2:54
Speaker 2: getting Jake to Columbus High School. So there you go.
2:57
Speaker 2: Something really quickly I want to touch on and just
3:01
Speaker 2: an observation, and I'm not gonna say I can't speak
3:06
Speaker 2: in any way to the specifics of the case because
3:11
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know anything about this. What
3:15
Speaker 2: I can tell you is that Russell Brand who is
3:23
Speaker 2: a comedian British comedian. He has recently given his life
3:30
Speaker 2: to Jesus. This guy is a now Christian. He has
3:34
Speaker 2: supported more conservative causes. He popped in, He's been on
3:38
Speaker 2: Fox a few times, he's done a few of the
3:40
Speaker 2: talk show circuits, and he's now speaking from the side
3:47
Speaker 2: of a much more conservative moved. I don't know that
3:52
Speaker 2: he really identify specifically too far on the right, but
3:59
Speaker 2: he definitely Lee has been speaking more towards conservative causes
4:03
Speaker 2: and things and now an outspoken Christian, says that he
4:06
Speaker 2: made a lot of mistakes in his life, did a
4:08
Speaker 2: lot of bad things, and gave his life to Jesus,
4:11
Speaker 2: and here we are. And now there has been a
4:16
Speaker 2: number of people, number of women four I guess, who
4:20
Speaker 2: have filed charges against him. And this is something that
4:26
Speaker 2: goes back from between ninety nine and two thousand and five.
4:32
Speaker 2: Now there have been some accusations I guess, these same
4:35
Speaker 2: ones in the past, and Russell Brand says that the
4:38
Speaker 2: relationships he was in were always consensual and he is,
4:43
Speaker 2: apparently May second, supposed to show up to court about
4:47
Speaker 2: these charges. So four separate women, one who accused him
4:52
Speaker 2: of raping her in nineteen ninety nine and another who
4:55
Speaker 2: says he assaulted her in two thousand and one, A
4:57
Speaker 2: third says he sexually assaulted her four and a fourth
5:02
Speaker 2: accusing of assaults between four and five. So that sounds
5:06
Speaker 2: like multiple I guess. So that's now four women, one
5:11
Speaker 2: of them accusing of rape, three of assault. So we'll
5:15
Speaker 2: see how this goes on May second. I can't again.
5:19
Speaker 2: I'll let me let me be candid on on the
5:22
Speaker 2: thing with Russell Brand and me. I always found him
5:25
Speaker 2: very abrasive as a comedian. As an actor, wasn't really
5:30
Speaker 2: a big fan. I thought I thought he was funny.
5:32
Speaker 2: Sometimes I wasn't. Wasn't a big fan, just wasn't. There
5:38
Speaker 2: was something about him I didn't like. I didn't know.
5:40
Speaker 2: I couldn't put a specific finger on it. I couldn't say, hey,
5:44
Speaker 2: this is what I don't like about him. I just
5:46
Speaker 2: knew there was something about the guy that I didn't like.
5:50
Speaker 2: And when I heard that he had become a Christian
5:54
Speaker 2: and he was on his podcast and on Instagram and
5:58
Speaker 2: social media talking about his faith, I got to admit
6:03
Speaker 2: it was sort of with a you know, is there
6:05
Speaker 2: an angle to this? I just didn't know. I didn't
6:07
Speaker 2: know what he was doing, and I didn't want to
6:09
Speaker 2: be that guy. I wanted to just be happy for
6:11
Speaker 2: him and for the people that he would have an
6:14
Speaker 2: opportunity to be able to reach, because with his fan base,
6:20
Speaker 2: you know, loyal fans, to hear him talk about, look,
6:23
Speaker 2: I did some bad things. We all do, and for
6:28
Speaker 2: him to come out and become a Christian and then
6:31
Speaker 2: start speaking from the perspective of being a bit more
6:34
Speaker 2: conservative on issues, and then suddenly he got my attention.
6:40
Speaker 2: The things that he was saying, how he was saying them.
6:43
Speaker 2: You know what the message was I liked what I
6:48
Speaker 2: was hearing. So I guess just my observation in this,
6:53
Speaker 2: and I know that this is something that has been
6:55
Speaker 2: obviously kind of going on for a little while, since
6:58
Speaker 2: there have been you know, this is some time has
7:00
Speaker 2: passed from all of this. I guess I'm just I'm
7:06
Speaker 2: asking the question, like, is it me or do we
7:10
Speaker 2: see these situations where the left loses one of theirs
7:16
Speaker 2: to the right or whatever, and then suddenly these kinds
7:21
Speaker 2: of charges become formal. They go from like these rumblings
7:27
Speaker 2: of hey, this person did this bad thing and then suddenly,
7:29
Speaker 2: Now I know this isn't always the case, but am
7:32
Speaker 2: I wrong that it just kind of feels like that
7:34
Speaker 2: happens sometimes. I can't speak to whether he's guilty or
7:38
Speaker 2: innocent on all those things. I don't know. I have
7:40
Speaker 2: no idea. You got four people that have accused him.
7:43
Speaker 2: That certainly doesn't sound good when they start stacking up,
7:48
Speaker 2: doesn't sound good. Now we know what a former president
7:54
Speaker 2: who had you know, I don't remember how many it
7:56
Speaker 2: was the count on that five six accusers a couple
7:59
Speaker 2: of them rate and I'm talking of course about you know,
8:05
Speaker 2: you know, the one from Arkansas. You're almost hesitant to
8:08
Speaker 2: say their name because you don't ever know. But you know,
8:12
Speaker 2: former President Clinton, he had accusers and there was a
8:16
Speaker 2: lot of like just look the other way. He will
8:19
Speaker 2: defend him. His wife will call the accusers horrible names
8:23
Speaker 2: and then will say that she's a champion for women
8:27
Speaker 2: and try to make her the president herself. So I
8:32
Speaker 2: don't know, just an observation, it just feels, I mean,
8:35
Speaker 2: the whole thing, there's no win in this. You got
8:38
Speaker 2: four women who at the very least think that they
8:41
Speaker 2: were assaulted or raped, and then now you've got him
8:45
Speaker 2: who has apparently turned his life around. Now, if he
8:49
Speaker 2: did these things, I would assume that's part of him
8:52
Speaker 2: turning his life around. If he didn't do these things,
8:55
Speaker 2: I think that maybe just his sexual proclivity is something
9:01
Speaker 2: that he's put behind him, something that I've heard him
9:04
Speaker 2: speak about. One of the podcasters that I like to
9:09
Speaker 2: I like to listen to is a guy named Wes
9:11
Speaker 2: Huff and he's a Christian apologist out of Canada, and
9:14
Speaker 2: he had he and Russell Brand at a home and
9:15
Speaker 2: away like they interviewed each other and hearing Russell Brand
9:19
Speaker 2: talk about just the things that you don't get from
9:24
Speaker 2: the kind of lifestyle that he was living and the
9:27
Speaker 2: things that he thinks are you know, really bad, and
9:30
Speaker 2: the things that he had access to and that he
9:32
Speaker 2: was able to do. And he talked about the you know,
9:36
Speaker 2: sexual activity from his past, but not this. So again,
9:41
Speaker 2: this isn't a win. There's no there's no you know,
9:43
Speaker 2: this is one of those things that this is an
9:44
Speaker 2: awful situation, and obviously you hope that people can get
9:48
Speaker 2: to the uh, get to the bottom of it, and
9:51
Speaker 2: that the truth can come out. I just think it's
9:55
Speaker 2: an interesting timing of things. That's all all right, let's
9:59
Speaker 2: h let's talk a little bit about I guess we've
10:02
Speaker 2: had now the former vice president president presidential candidate for
10:11
Speaker 2: Democrats who lost, Kamala Harris, having her a speech where
10:16
Speaker 2: she talked about how I told you so to the
10:18
Speaker 2: people watching, and this has led now to an interview
10:23
Speaker 2: done by Jake Tapper on CNN with the running mate
10:28
Speaker 2: for Kamala Harris, Tim Waltz.
10:32
Speaker 1: Or Walls.
10:34
Speaker 2: We're got now we got now two guys in the
10:37
Speaker 2: ether with similar name. Walls he was Walls. Waltz is
10:41
Speaker 2: the security advisor anyway, So the question has come up
10:47
Speaker 2: now from Jake Tapper to Tim Walls about not acknowledging
10:53
Speaker 2: sooner by the Democrat Party the fact that Biden was
10:58
Speaker 2: incapable of doing the or running for president again. And
11:06
Speaker 2: it's a fair like people have been asking the question.
11:09
Speaker 2: Folks on the right have been asking the question during
11:12
Speaker 2: the campaign. The Trump administration asked the question, and it
11:18
Speaker 2: is a valid question. And there still are many questions
11:21
Speaker 2: that we'd all like to know the answer to concerning
11:26
Speaker 2: who's been running the who was running the country, Who
11:31
Speaker 2: who was actually running the country. Who is the person
11:36
Speaker 2: that was, you know, signing documents with you know, Biden's signature,
11:41
Speaker 2: who was doing all of those things, who was actually
11:44
Speaker 2: in charge, who was running the meetings, Who was you know,
11:47
Speaker 2: running things while he was napping, while he was on
11:49
Speaker 2: vacation at the beach. Very frequently these are all appropriate questions.
11:57
Speaker 2: The question from Taper was don't you think your party
12:01
Speaker 2: needs to acknowledge that President Biden was not up for
12:03
Speaker 2: the job of running for reelection and this was a
12:05
Speaker 2: major mistake, And he said, you all went along with
12:11
Speaker 2: the idea that he was up for it, and he wasn't.
12:13
Speaker 2: Everybody saw it and the country rejected it, and Wall's
12:18
Speaker 2: answer was history will tell us to go back on that.
12:23
Speaker 2: That very well could be the case. What I'm concerned
12:26
Speaker 2: about is learning from those lessons. I would hope we
12:30
Speaker 2: would never do it again, make a mistake, make sure
12:33
Speaker 2: we go through and get someone. But I don't know
12:37
Speaker 2: where it helps us going forward. And then he turned
12:40
Speaker 2: his attention on to Trump. So again it's not really
12:45
Speaker 2: an answer. They're not really giving answers. They still aren't
12:51
Speaker 2: giving answers. But this is the latest opportunity to basically
12:57
Speaker 2: get asked by someone. I mean, good good that it
13:01
Speaker 2: took us this long. I think a genuine member of
13:05
Speaker 2: any sort of journalistic integrity news organization would have asked this,
13:10
Speaker 2: maybe during the during the actual election process, but no
13:14
Speaker 2: asking it now all these months later. I mean, it's eventually,
13:18
Speaker 2: it's five months later. Eventually you get around to it.
13:21
Speaker 2: So another thing I want to address is it kind
13:25
Speaker 2: of a lot of we're back to the protests, the
13:29
Speaker 2: fascist protests again. You got the AstroTurf people getting paid
13:34
Speaker 2: to show up places and protest. I guess we had
13:38
Speaker 2: some here in Columbus. I don't know, I can't It
13:42
Speaker 2: was a Saturday morning over the weekend. I don't know.
13:45
Speaker 2: There was said about one hundred people. Maybe we're protesting.
13:48
Speaker 2: I didn't hear anything other than it was about one
13:51
Speaker 2: hundred people. I haven't heard a confirmation. I've seen some
13:54
Speaker 2: accusations that they weren't local, that many of them were
13:57
Speaker 2: not local. There probably were a few that were local.
14:00
Speaker 2: We know that there's a group of five people who
14:03
Speaker 2: get together and do protests regularly. They may have been there,
14:06
Speaker 2: so maybe it was ninety five from elsewhere, and the
14:09
Speaker 2: five who get a lot of press when they show
14:12
Speaker 2: up somewhere, I mean breaking news. The five people have
14:16
Speaker 2: showed up somewhere with a flag or two and they're
14:20
Speaker 2: just hanging out. I don't really understand. I still don't
14:24
Speaker 2: get it. I mean, give me a dozen at least
14:26
Speaker 2: before you send somebody out to cover it. Or if
14:28
Speaker 2: somebody goes out to cover it and they show up
14:31
Speaker 2: and you're not even a half dozen people, maybe you
14:34
Speaker 2: just you know, pack up and leave. You just you know,
14:37
Speaker 2: get one more person, Get one more Yeah, we'll give
14:40
Speaker 2: you ten minutes. Get one more person out here, and
14:43
Speaker 2: we'll cover it. But anyway, but we're seeing this around
14:46
Speaker 2: the country. I know some people that decided they needed
14:48
Speaker 2: to be a part of it over the weekend, and
14:50
Speaker 2: we're still doing the same old stunt. It's the same
14:53
Speaker 2: old like it's fascism, it's fascists, it's Nazis. You know,
14:58
Speaker 2: Trump is hitler. People that just don't seem to understand
15:03
Speaker 2: that that didn't work. It didn't work. That's why Trump
15:07
Speaker 2: is in there now, is that they've played this game
15:10
Speaker 2: and they're trying to play this game again. These events,
15:14
Speaker 2: by the way, ultimately are all part of one. It's
15:20
Speaker 2: not genuine. This is AstroTurf. There's no grassroots to it.
15:23
Speaker 2: But it's also about getting people on the scene to
15:27
Speaker 2: register to vote. It's about trying to recruit people for
15:30
Speaker 2: the next selection. And I know it's real early for midterms,
15:33
Speaker 2: but midterms or next year, so it's about that. It's
15:37
Speaker 2: about getting people signed up. It's about trying to get
15:39
Speaker 2: young people, maybe people that they just kind of look
15:43
Speaker 2: around and they see people and they go, ah, this
15:45
Speaker 2: looks exciting. I want to be part of this. And
15:47
Speaker 2: they don't really actually read they don't read anything, they
15:51
Speaker 2: don't watch anything any fair coverage of things, and they go, ah,
15:54
Speaker 2: I don't know what this Palestine thing is, but I
15:57
Speaker 2: want to support that. I want to support that, and
16:01
Speaker 2: I want to support the gay trans agenda, and they
16:03
Speaker 2: go Those two things don't really go together. I mean,
16:06
Speaker 2: it's it's not like hamas. If you're supporting them and
16:10
Speaker 2: then you're supporting the gay trans agenda, that's not that's
16:14
Speaker 2: not a cohesive thing. Those two things can't co exist.
16:18
Speaker 2: You're not. This is it's a very different it's a
16:24
Speaker 2: very different thing. But people see it and they get
16:27
Speaker 2: excited and maybe this is going to be their first
16:29
Speaker 2: time ever voting, and you know, this is going to
16:32
Speaker 2: be a big midterm election. So if they can get
16:34
Speaker 2: people recruited, get them on board, that's what these things
16:38
Speaker 2: really become about, very quickly, that's what they've become about.
16:42
Speaker 2: I don't know. I didn't I don't know anybody that
16:43
Speaker 2: was at this over the weekend, So I don't know.
16:46
Speaker 2: If you were there and you saw people with clipboards
16:49
Speaker 2: and the same people who walk through the cemeteries and
16:53
Speaker 2: sign up people, I guess I guess now we're learning
16:56
Speaker 2: that they're not just signing them up to vote, they're
16:58
Speaker 2: signing them up to get so so security benefits and
17:01
Speaker 2: checks and things. So if those people were there. I'd
17:04
Speaker 2: love to hear if you witnessed any of that, because
17:08
Speaker 2: apparently it's a real possibility. And I don't know. If
17:13
Speaker 2: you register them to vote, can you then get Social
17:15
Speaker 2: Security benefits if they're one hundred and fifty or one
17:17
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five or whatever. So I guess it's
17:20
Speaker 2: important to really get to the bottom of that on
17:22
Speaker 2: both cases, isn't it. Today's show brought to you by
17:24

19:37
Speaker 2: for you, and while they're there, you can always ask
19:39
Speaker 2: them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
19:42
Speaker 2: like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb
19:46
Speaker 2: appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and
19:48
Speaker 2: you need some repair work done to the outside door.
19:51
Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
19:55
Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
19:58
Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation an issue that you've
20:00
Speaker 2: got with colder, warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
20:04
Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
20:08
Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
20:10
Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
20:13
Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
20:18
Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
20:19
Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
20:22
Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
20:24
Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
20:26
Speaker 2: can do that for you. As well, and again they
20:29
Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
20:32
Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
20:35
Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
20:38
Speaker 2: and they do those as well. Seven oh six thorty

Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show. Right after the break, well are you
20:59
Speaker 2: from EA oil? You're with the Fire movement. Fire stands
21:03
Speaker 2: for financially independent retire early, and it's a trend growing
21:08
Speaker 2: in popularity with gen Z. It's all about being really
21:12
Speaker 2: frugal now so that you don't have to work into
21:15
Speaker 2: your sixties or seventies. Twenty four year old Mia McGrath
21:20
Speaker 2: is part of the Fire movement. In a social media post,
21:23
Speaker 2: Mea says that she eats a sixty five cent breakfast
21:27
Speaker 2: every day, skip salon visits and other non essentials, and
21:32
Speaker 2: she saved ninety thousand dollars. Her goal. She's twenty four
21:36
Speaker 2: to retire by forty. I like it. I have been
21:40
Speaker 2: called cheap in my lifetime. Now I'm not retired by forty.
21:44
Speaker 2: I didn't pull it off by fifty either. But I
21:48
Speaker 2: do hope someday to retire without having to work into
21:50
Speaker 2: my eighties, and I know that's always a possibility. Things change,
21:55
Speaker 2: things happen. But trying to be frugal aka cheap, whatever
22:00
Speaker 2: you want to call me, I've been like part of it,
22:03
Speaker 2: not this specific fire movement, but I have definitely cut
22:10
Speaker 2: corners and definitely not spent in times when other people
22:13
Speaker 2: probably would have spent. All Right, everybody knows, especially women,
22:18
Speaker 2: the dangers of leaving their drink unattended. Scientists from the
22:22
Speaker 2: University of British Columbia have developed a new stirstick called Spikelests,
22:27
Speaker 2: and it can detect if your drink has been spiked
22:30
Speaker 2: with common drugs like GHB, ketamine and others. I guess
22:34
Speaker 2: within thirty seconds, the tip of the st stick changes
22:39
Speaker 2: color if it detects these substances, making it a quick
22:42
Speaker 2: and easy way to ensure your drink is safe. Could,
22:48
Speaker 2: if I guess, it could change the game in a
22:51
Speaker 2: lot of ways if the cost is made low enough.
22:53
Speaker 2: They're hoping that they can get these ster sticks available
22:55
Speaker 2: free at bars, clubs and festivals. You'll still want to
22:59
Speaker 2: watch your drink. I mean, it doesn't mean you can
23:02
Speaker 2: like not pay attention to it, but you you know,
23:08
Speaker 2: still would be a nice advantage to have while you're out.
23:12
Speaker 2: And this doesn't just happen to women. It does happen
23:14
Speaker 2: to men as well, So I'm just pointing that out.
23:17
Speaker 2: I realized that from this story's perspective, it only happens
23:20
Speaker 2: to women. I know of at least one guy it's
23:22
Speaker 2: happened to. All Right, remember the tramp stamp, it was around,
23:26
Speaker 2: it was there, and it went away. Well, apparently the
23:30
Speaker 2: tramp stamp is back, that lower back tattoo, and you
23:34
Speaker 2: can blame gen Z for it. Tattoo artists reporting the
23:37
Speaker 2: demand is increasing among young people for the tramp stamp,
23:41
Speaker 2: putting their own spin on it, with a softer, smaller,
23:43
Speaker 2: more detailed design, so delicate phrases, celestial symbols, intricate line work,
23:50
Speaker 2: things like that, It's still a tramp stamp. I don't
23:53
Speaker 2: care what you do, I don't care how you soften
23:56
Speaker 2: it up. It's still a tramp stamp. And I realize
24:01
Speaker 2: that this really started with, you know, the gen xers.
24:04
Speaker 2: I know that that's kind of where this came from.
24:06
Speaker 2: That's where it started. You can blame you know, my
24:10
Speaker 2: generation if you want to, but you know it went
24:15
Speaker 2: away and now it's back, And just by trying to
24:18
Speaker 2: soften it up, does it necessarily make it any less
24:23
Speaker 2: of a tramp stamp? All right? Forget a crylic. Scientists
24:25
Speaker 2: have created nails that are not only sustainable but smart.
24:29
Speaker 2: Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed something
24:33
Speaker 2: called bioenails, which are biodegradable and made from algae and seashells.
24:38
Speaker 2: These eco friendly artificial nails change color with sunlight or heat,
24:43
Speaker 2: and can even send text messages thanks to embedded NFC chips.
24:49
Speaker 2: I don't know the scenario where you would need to
24:51
Speaker 2: send a text message where your nails. I mean, it's
24:55
Speaker 2: not just talking about Maybe it means you can use
24:58
Speaker 2: your nails to touch the I don't know. I don't
25:01
Speaker 2: know how that works exactly. But if the nails themselves
25:04
Speaker 2: are sending text messages, I got questions. I don't know
25:08
Speaker 2: the need. I don't know what kind of messages they
25:11
Speaker 2: might send. Hey, do you need your back scratched?
25:14
Speaker 1: Like?
25:15
Speaker 2: I don't know. Is it sending like a like a GIF?
25:20
Speaker 2: I say, gift because it's hard g because it's graphics.
25:23
Speaker 2: Is what the G stands for. So it's a hard
25:25
Speaker 2: g You may say, jiff whatever you want to do
25:27
Speaker 2: if you like saying it wrong. I don't care what
25:29
Speaker 2: the guy who made it says. But it may be
25:32
Speaker 2: a gift with the you know the guy with the
25:35
Speaker 2: it was Indian. Wasn't he that had the long fingernails?
25:38
Speaker 2: The world record for it? Was it a woman? I
25:39
Speaker 2: think it was a man. It doesn't matter. You could
25:43
Speaker 2: send that gift, all right. Jim Z is drinking less,
25:48
Speaker 2: a little bit more health conscious and older generations if
25:53
Speaker 2: the previous were at their age, other previous generations, So
25:58
Speaker 2: it makes sense the gyms are becoming a goat place
26:00
Speaker 2: for young singles. In fact, according to a new report
26:03
Speaker 2: out of the UK, there has been a surge in
26:06
Speaker 2: gym memberships among young people. It's about being physically healthy.
26:11
Speaker 2: It's also about being emotionally healthy as well. Jim's providing
26:15
Speaker 2: young adults with a place to meet people in real
26:17
Speaker 2: life rather than online. Anything that gets you meeting people
26:21
Speaker 2: in real life is better, you know, That's what I think.
26:25
Speaker 2: If it's just meeting people in real life, it's probably
26:27
Speaker 2: for the best, all right. That'll do it for this
