  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 Morning Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, twenty second day of July. I'm Wes, thanks
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: for joining me. Got a little sleep. Jet leg still
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: haunting most of the household to some capacity, but we're
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: starting to get there. Finally actually slept through the night,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: so that's good. Got that going for me makes a
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: big difference. When you get a decent night sleep, I
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: usually still get up early anyway. It's not like you know,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna sleep till noon or anything. And I think
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: that's part of what's going on when we're trying to
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: readjust things, and getting up two am to go to
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the bathroom and to eat has just been a giant pain,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: because definitely, even if I can fall back asleep in
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: an hour or two, I'm probably gonna get up pretty
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: early anyway, five or six, so it's not really much
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: time to go back to sleep, and then I just
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: start going. Well, I can start working. But last night,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: at the very least I got a decent night's sleep.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Hopefully I can put together a string of a few
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: decent nights of sleep and start getting this all reset
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: and not be starving at two in the morning. That's
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the biggest thing. The hunger, the bathroom schedule, all those
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: sorts of things when you and there was a period.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Maybe this is falling under the TMI, but I'm of
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: a certain age now where you get up to go
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: to the bathroom during the night, you have to do
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: it a couple of times. I haven't really been doing
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: that much lately. I don't know why. I don't know
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: if I've just figured out my you know, when I
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: can stop drinking water for the day or whatever, and
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: that certainly makes a big difference. But if this sort
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: of jet lag phase of things, bodies going, you're supposed
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: to be awake, now, let's go to the bathroom. So
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I've been having to get up to do that, and
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I've actually had a decent night, got through the night
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: without having to do that. I got through the night
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: without needing to wake up and eat something. Trying to
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: figure out what's a good idea to eat if I
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: go right back to sleep again, that's also the challenge.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I really try not to eat right before bed anyway,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: so I definitely don't want to eat in the middle
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: of the night. When I'm going to go back to sleep,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: all those things at play. But as I said, finally
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: got a decent night sleep. Think things are improving. So
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: something that I haven't had a chance to talk about
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: yet is the announcement that CBS is getting rid of
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: their late night programming, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: A couple things about this, and I feel like I
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: should start with I think what was the beginning of
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the end of this show, because there's a moment that
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I feel like sort of set the tone for late
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: night TV, and it began a trajectory that eventually comes
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: to a point where this particular show on this particular
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: network will be going away. And by the way, there's
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: still months to go on it. It will end May
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. Not an immediate cancelation. It wasn't that
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: they just they gave a date where they said this
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: is going to go away. So here's what we've got
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and here's the overall big picture of where I think
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: this all started. So when I was a kid, I
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: used to love to stay up and watch Carson. Watching
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Johnny Carson was a big influence on me. Eventually getting
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: to this point where I decided I would like to
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: work in broadcasting. Johnny Carson was one of those ultimate
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: showman when it came to being a talk show and
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: being a host. He was Midwestern guy and he knew
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: how to do the job as a broadcaster. He was entertaining,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: he was funny, he was he didn't punch down, and
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: when he did politics, it was something that everybody could
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: watch and enjoy and laugh. That's what he did. That
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: was the show. Very quick witted, very funny. He had
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: his quirks, He had his little things that he did
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: every night. A lot of those were emphasized by Dana
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Carvey on SNL when he would do Carson. Those sort
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: of things became the stereotype of Carson. But you knew
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: what you were getting every night. It was consistent. And
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: then there came a point where I could stay up
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: a little later and I could watch Letterman, and I
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: fell in love with that show, with that format, with
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the things that they were doing there. It was very
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: much again a guy who had a broadcasting background, but
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: he was doing things that most people wouldn't have allowed
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: him to do on TV. Outside of being on after midnight.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: That show was on twelve thirty to one thirty, and
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: when I had the opportunity to stay up and watch it,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I would, And the older I got, by the time
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I was in high school, it was much very much
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: something that I had to stay up and watch every night.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I did love the show. Thought he was incredible as
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: a host as a broadcaster, because at his core, that's
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: what he was. He could do tough interviews, but he
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: could also put up with the sort of generic things
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: they had to do on those shows where he had
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: somebody come on and just promote whatever next project they
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: were working on was. But he was also the guy
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: that was finding weird ways to be funny, and weird
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: characters that he and he came up with, and all these,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: you know, all these different camera angles on the show,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and silly things throwing cards and pencils through the fake
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: windows and all of that. All of that was interesting
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: to me, And by that point I certainly was at
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: a stage where I thought, I would like to do this.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I would like to have a talk show. I would
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: like to interview celebrities or whoever do interviews athletes. I
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: would like to do this. This is what I would
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: like to do for a living. And I made up
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: my mind as a teenager, this is what I want
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: to do. And it was largely based on those two guys,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and Letterman made fun of whoever was in office at
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the time. They were the president, he made fun of them.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: If they were a high profile politician working for one
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: party or the other, he made fun of them, because
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: that's what you do. He made fun of the company
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: that he worked for. He made fun of everything because
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: that's what he did. And he had fun with it,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: and you enjoyed it. You were in on the joke
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: and you knew he was probably making people cringe a
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: little bit, but he was popular enough that he was
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: making the money, so they didn't care. So there came
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: to the point where Carson tired. Everybody thought, well, Letterman
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: will move up. The infamous story of Leno taking the
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: show away from him and working another angle on it
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: in NBC not doing the right thing, and it was complicated,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I get it, but Leno had the NBC job. Letterman
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: went to CBS and started doing his show at eleven thirty,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: made a few changes, made it a little bit more
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: appealing as an overall audience, and at the time CBS
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: had football as a lead in for programming it was
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: going to be easy. They were going to be able
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: to work that angle as far as being able to
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: really hold an audience. And then some changes happened with that.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: There were some flip arounds and things that happened, and
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: then ultimately there was a point where Leno took back
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: control of the ratings for nighttime and Letterman show was
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: still doing okay, but not where they wanted it to be,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: and there were times he would have bigger but overall
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Leno kind of won the day. Leno was much more
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: like Carson. He was just doing jokes. Whoever the president was,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: He made fun of him. I didn't watch him. I
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: was a little bitter. I liked Letterman, and I thought
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: the whole thing that happened Letterman got shifted well that
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: there was a point after nine to eleven where Letterman
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: started to make this shift, this cosmic change in what
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: he was doing on his show, where the pot you
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: could start to feel a political lean and then eventually
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: a full on political even mandate. There was something there
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: that wasn't there before. And at some point in his
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: career he was interviewed and he said, I just decided
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: after nine to eleven that this was more. It was
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: more important than just telling jokes. We couldn't just tell jokes.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Politics was important. There had to be that side of it.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: That's the moment. It's the moment for me where things
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: started to change. I was such a fan I could
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: continue to watch him and ignore the politics most of
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the time, but sometimes it was And there was a
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: phase in all of that where honestly I wasn't as engaged.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I wasn't covering politics. It wasn't as big of a
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: deal to me, even if it made me a little
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: uncomfortable at times. Well, by the time Leno and Letterman
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: were gone, you had Kimmel, then you had Fallon, then
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: you had Colbert and Seth Meyers. I guess is doing
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Letterman's old show on NBC, and at that point you
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: had this full and to be fair, originally Fallen wasn't
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: doing political jokes. That's not what his show was about,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: and he started to take flak for it. There was
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: pressure for it to be some kind of agenda driven show.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Kimmel like, there's been the joke for years that he
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: gets notes from a Democrat leadership like Chuck Schumer sends
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: him over a list of things that he can make
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: jokes about that's been a standard joke about what Kimmel's
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: show is. Obviously that's probably not true, but who knows.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Nowadays anything's possible. I guess Stephen Colbert came from The
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Daily Show, which initially was a very funny show. It
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: poked fun at everything to do with politics and what
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: was going on in the world, and then it eventually
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: got to the point where it became very agenda driven.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: By the time John Stewart was there, there was a
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: clear agenda and message, and the people who came from
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: The Daily Show took their message on to other shows.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Colbert initially was doing his sort of satirical take on
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly and I know folks who were Republicans who
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: are conservatives who thought that was great. Ah, I love it,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: And they didn't realize he was making fun of them.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: That's what he was doing. He was taking shots at them,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: and Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly and anybody with a
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: conservative lean. They just missed it. They didn't realize that
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: they were the joke to him. Well, he ended up
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: getting the CBS gig and overall ratings started well. It's
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: worth also noting that in twenty sixteen, Donald Trump did
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: there was a moment where Jimmy Fallon asked him, Hey,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: everybody talks about your hair. Can I rub your hair?
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: And he sort of must up Trump's hair, got a
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: big cheer from the audience, big applause. One of those things,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: one of those iconic moments, and it really should be
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: absolutely remembered as that because it has been a long
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: standing joke. What's the deal with Trump's hair? Is it
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: a comb over? Is it a wig? What's going on there?
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: And he let Jimmy Fallon mess it up right there
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: on TV and it was clear, this isn't a wig.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: This is a weird hairdo who it is, but it's
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: not a wig, It's not a piece. And he was
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: able to muss it up on TV. People loved it.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: It was a big headline grabber. Well after the election,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: there were people who blamed Fallin for that. You humanized
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump, You helped him win the election by doing that.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: You gave him that Bill Clinton playing the saxophone on
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Arsenio Hall moment, and they hated Fallin for it. And
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: then Fallen eventually started to add some politics into his show,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: and again, you know which way it's leaning. And at times,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: much like the others, it's mean. It's nasty, it's bitter,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: it's not fun, it's not little jokes. It was mean
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: and that's what all of them do. And ultimately, when
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: a show that costs I think they said one hundred
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: million a year for Stephen Colbert Show, for the Late Show,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: and they said that with a one one hundred million
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: dollars per season that was its budget, and they said,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: it's been losing forty million dollars a year. How do
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: you justify that for any length of time? How can
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: you justify losing forty million dollars on something you're spending
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars on per year? Think about it,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: how do you justify that? Obviously someone there in leadership
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: felt like the message was worth it. They had already
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: ended the Late Late Show, which was the show that
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: came on after the Late Show. They'd already ended that.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: That was finished. So there's this merger that's happened. This
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: this is I guess with CBS Skydance Media, and that's
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: the company who was getting ready to buy a paramount
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: gal eight billion dollar merger, and that it's all about economics,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: that that's the reason behind it. It wasn't about silencing in
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: the name of politics, according to sources, and that they
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: were going to give it time to finish its course
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: and let it run out through me. And there's people
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: at CBS saying otherwise, this is about politics. But I
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: think the two things kind of coexist, don't they, Because
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: one of the things that happens when you make politics
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: your main focus of whatever your product is, you're alienating
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: half of your potential customer base. Think about what happened
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: with Anheuser Busch. Think about what happened when they decided
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: we're going to put an influencer who is a trans
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: woman on our cans and allow this to be broadcast
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: out to the world, and it calls their target demographic
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: to say, what, I'm not drinking that even though they
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: weren't even they don't even have the option of buying
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: the cans. They just didn't want to have anything to
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: do with it. They said, how dare you not remember
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: who your core customer is? And the core customer for
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: late night TV should be anybody who's up. But if
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: you don't want to watch the show, and you don't
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: have any interest in hearing your political candidate or party
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: or members of it constantly bashed. That's half of the
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: potential audience that's gone right there. Many of them, by
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: the way, go to Fox News and watch Greg Guttfeld.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: They're not watching any of these shows on at night.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you the last time I watched one.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: One of my really good friends in Australia asked me, like,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: which of the shows do you watch? And I said,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I don't watch any of them. He said, well, I
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: typically watch Kimmel and I was like, I don't. He's like,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: you don't like Kimmel and I said no, and it's
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: got everything to do with politics. I'm like, is he funny? Sometimes? Sure?
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Does he have the guests on that I would like
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: to see sometimes?
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Sure?
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: But I can't sit there and listen to him do
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: jokes over and over again about the same five topics.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Just don't want to hear it. I don't need to
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: hear it. Those jokes to me aren't even that funny.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: They're just mean. And it's not an attempt necessarily to
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: be funny. It's an attempt at some kind of propaganda.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: If this is the message, and it's constantly there. There's
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: moments where SNL kind of deviates a little bit, but
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: then they always end up coming right back to this
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: is what we do. We're certainly a mouthpiece for the left.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: So they've alienated the audience, and then they're confused at
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: why the numbers are down, why the ratings are down,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: why the advertisers are down, or whatever it is whatever's
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: causing them to lose this much money. So yes, you
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: can say this isn't about politics, it's just about ratings,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: But the low ratings have to do with politics, right,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, it has to be what's going on there.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: And then you got the other shows now saying, uh,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: are we next? John Stewart speculating whether or not his
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: job that he does. I guess now once a week
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: he's back on the Daily Show for some reason, and
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: whether or not that show may go away, and they
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: speculate that that's coming. Questions about whether or not the
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: tonight's show. It's a long standing institution. It was the
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: closest thing we had for a while to someone who
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: would just sort of get up there, tell some jokes,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: do some interviews and be done with it. But again,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Fallon dared to humanize Donald Trump during an election,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: and apparently they think that was enough to get people
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: to vote for him. Jimmy Kimmel working for Disney, he's
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: probably safe. But the fact that there's even any questions
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: coming up about it, and if there's any justification at
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: any point for the fact that money's being lost on
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: these shows and that someone could be fired, where does
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: the audience for the Colbert Show go? It was the
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: smallest of the group, so it's not like it's a
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: lot of people that are going to be moving somewhere.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: But even if they split them, still not a lot
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: of audience to split up. Or are those people just
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: going to find something else to watch? Are they going
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: to wait and see what else is coming on starting
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: in May or June. So you can say it's not
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: about politics, I think the LITW Ratings probably is about politics.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Hey everyone, this is doctor Sean Crusin. I'm the executive
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: director of Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I want to tell you about a very special exhibit
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: that we have on display the summer. It's so big
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: that it can't even fit in our own exhibit gallery.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: It's just too many pieces. This is a collection of
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: items from the personal collection of astronaut David R.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Scott.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Dave Scott flew on Gemini eight with Neil Armstrong. He
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: flew on Apollo nine, a dress rehearsal for the moon landing,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: and then most importantly perhaps he commanded Apollo fifteen, where
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: he became the first person to ever drive a car
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: on the service of the Moon. Because Dave's brother, Tom
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: lived and worked here in Columbus, Georgia with our Columbus
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Chamber of Commerce, we got to be good friends with Tom.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Tom has coordinated a very generous donation of artifacts and
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: memorabilia from the Scott Brothers collection to us here at
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center. And again, that collection got
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: so overwhelmingly large we couldn't put it on display here.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: That's why we're doing the exhibit at the Bow Bartlett Center.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: They are open from eleven am to four pm Tuesday
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: through Saturday. Go down and check out this great exhibit
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: on display at the Bow Bartlett Center, check out all
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: the other wonderful pieces of artwork down there as well,
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: and then come visit us here at Columbus State University's
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of square in that
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: away for you, and while they're there, you can always
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: man caved, you'd like to be able to open the
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: and they do those as well. Seven O six thory

• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show right after the break. Well, if you
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: have a dog, you're probably aware of the fact, or
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: a cat for that matter, but you're probably aware of
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: the fact that they have certain things that they don't like.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: When you watch it on TV. My dog responds to
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: music in shows and movies that are setting a tone.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: The music says something bad is about to happen. My
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: dog will look at the TV and sometimes get up
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: and leave the room. He knows something bad's coming and
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: he doesn't want to be there for it. And then
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: sometimes something on the screen gets his attention. Maybe it's
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: another dog, maybe it's you know, something a little more happy,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: and he sort of stares at the screen for a while. Well,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: did you know, though, that dogs actually sometimes like what's
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: on TV? And this is a study coming from Auburn University.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: How about that says dogs not only watch TV, but
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: have clear preferences for what they want to watch. Researchers
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: found that a whopping eighty eight percent of dogs actively
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: watch TV and prefer shows featuring other animals. So if
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: you got to leave the TV on for your dog,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: maybe Animal Planet something like that, you probably don't want
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: to get involved with, you know, Shark Week, maybe that
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: might be a little scary. I don't know, maybe they
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: like sharks. You never know, It's always a possibility. I
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: also saw this is a study. It doesn't say where
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: it came from, but it says dogs like to listen
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: to the West Carrol Morning Show. Start it up and
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: leave it on in the house when you go to work,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: and let it run all day interesting and then make
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: sure to like it and become a subscriber, so you
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: get the shows as soon as they come in. Dogs
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: apparently really like when you do that. Fast food drive
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: throughs are designed for a quick and convenient way. That's
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: a kind of like the like and subscribe. I didn't
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: do that. I mean, I just did, but it's not
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: really what I was saying. I'm not playing subliminal man.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Fast food drive throughs are designed for quick and convenient
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: ways to grab some food. But sometimes fasts doesn't describe
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: the experience. In my house, we call it slow food.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: What is this slow food? The version of Burger King
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: in Northeast Australia in the city of Townville called Hungry Jacks.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Burger King name was already taken by someone, I think
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: in Sydney when Burger King decided to go to Australia
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: and they became Hungry Jacks. Anyway, Yeah, a perfect example
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: of slow food. On our experience there at one particular
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: location just took absolutely forever. Long lines, sometimes due to
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: customized orders, slow down the lines considerably. A new survey
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: of regular drive through customers has led restaurant owners with
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: sometimes the slowest service, according to the survey, is Wingstop.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Close behind is Culver's Church's Chicken. According to the survey,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: drive throughs in California are the slowest overall and the
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: quickest drive through experience. Not gonna surprise you if you
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: live in the southeast or anywhere that has a location.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: But Chick fil A on top. And a lot of
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: times surveys say that they're slow, but this particular survey says, no, no, no,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: they're fast. I would put them definitely the best overall
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: service through the drive through. To me, it tends to
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: be faster. Occasionally they mess up the order, but we
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: have very specific orders when we go there, and sometimes
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: the customizations might be a little bit off, but overall,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: can't beat Chick fil A in their service. And then
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: McDonald's often kind of known for being a little slow,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: but according to the survey, they said it was second
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: for the quickest drive through experience. All right, So the
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Superman movie has led to social media trend now with
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: people showing off this hope core saying they have done
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: something positive. Shows a picture Superman and they tell something
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: positive that they've done. Well. Now it has flipped and
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: people are going in the other direction, taking the side
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: of Lex Luthor. So some of the memes will show
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: like one example was someone had a picture of Superman
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: and said they stopped my car to let a squirrel
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: cross the road, and then someone did the same thing
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: with a picture of Lex Luthor I guess, played by
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Nicholas Holt in this movie hit my car. Sorry, I
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: hit my squirrel with a car today. So been flashing
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: the good versus evil, getting both sides of the perspective
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: on that. So, I mean that's some fun, right. Finally,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: when you answer the phone, do you say hello? You
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: would think that's a pretty standard thing. Most people answer
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: the phone Hello, then the other person starts talking. Well, apparently,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: I guess it starts kind of around gen Z. The
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: practice of answering the phone with a friendly hello goes away,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: and apparently, this says start to catch on with people
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: twenty eight and under because apparently, because of robocalls and
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: spam calls, when you actually say hello when you answer
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: the phone, that's what triggers the robo call to start
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: talking to you. So younger people fed up with it
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: will answer the phone but not say anything, and they
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: wait on the person calling to actually say something first,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: and if they recognize the voice then they might talk
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: back with you, or if you have something interesting to say,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: they might talk back with you. Otherwise they just sit
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: there and breathe until someone says something interesting. Might I
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: also suggest what we gen xers do, which is just
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: don't answer the phone if you think it might be
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: a spam call. If they leave a voicemail and you
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: want to call them back, then you can call them back,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: or delightfully, you can text them. That's another option that's
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: sometimes on the table. But you think it might be
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: a spam called, don't answer it. You're just feeding it,
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: aren't you feeding the beast? That'll do it for this
