• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Monday morning, sixth day of October. I'm Wes, Thanks for
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: joining me. Just want to remind you we're a couple
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: of months away, a little over two months away, but
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: around two months away from The Nutcracker taking place at
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: the Columbus River Center. The Columbus Ballet presents the Nutcracker,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: and we're excited about this year's show. This will be
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: my seventh time in the role of Mother Ginger. Really
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: excited to get back up on the stilts. I got
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: my first call sheet for my rehearsals for coming up
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: in a few weeks. I'm excited about getting in there
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: with my new Paula Chanel's aka my Tabitha's when I
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: first started doing this role way back in twenty nineteen,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: six years ago. This is my seventh show. That's the
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: way that works, because there's a year zero. Darn it.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I you know, you go in there first day and
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: you're meeting all these kids and they're excited about, you
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: know the fact that you're going to be sharing the
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: stage with them, performing with them, dancing with them if
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: you will. And I knew I wasn't going to remember
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: all their names, so I just started referring to all
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: of them as Tabitha. I figured that was the easy
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: way to go, and then I started to add little
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: things to the names where I would, you know, there
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: would be little things that I would use for you know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: basically memory. What is that called association? You know? You
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: say there was one in particular, her name was Nora,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and my mom had a friend, or has a friend,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: shouldn't they had? She has a friend named Nora who
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: makes a really good chocolate cake. She made a chocolate
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: cake for my wedding, my groom cake, And so I
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: just started referring to her as like Tabitha chocolate cake,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: and that helped me remember her name is Nora, right,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: So that was There were just a few names like that.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to go through all of them. My
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: point is I will refer to the characters of the
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Poula Chanels that perform with me. They're the girls sometimes
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: boys that are in the dress. When I come out
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: on stage, they come out, they dance around, they go
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: back in we exit the stage. So sometimes I refer
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: to them with love and affection. My daughters, the Tabithas,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: and we are looking forward to dancing for you at
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the River Center. And I just want to remind you
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: yet again that it is very important that you get
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: your tickets, either from the Columbus Ballet dot Org or
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: from the Columbus River Center. You get them anywhere else,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: you're probably going to overpay for your tickets. I mean,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: if you're buying them from a friend who says, hey,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I bought this ticket, it's thirty five dollars or whatever,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: it's fine. I'm talking about when you go online and
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: you just look up the tickets and there's all these
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: ticket brokers and I'm seeing tickets now hundreds of dollars
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: for ballet tickets. Those are not and you want to
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: also make sure you're getting them for the correct show.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: You don't want to get for the Columbus Ohio Ballet
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: or Columbus Mississippi. I don't know what their Nutcracker looks like.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: All I can tell you about those two shows is
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: that they do not have me in the role of
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: mother Ginger and Nora, one of my og Tabathas in
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: the role of Clara for the show this year. So
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the shows are December thirteenth and fourteenth. There's a seven
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to thirty evening show on the thirteenth, a two thirty
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: matinee on Sunday the fourteenth at the River Center for
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the Performing Arts, and we want to see you there.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: And this year's director, creative director for the show, we
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: got big things, it's all I can tell you. Big
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: things planned for this year's show. Some new elements, some
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: a new take on the show a little bit. I mean,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: it's just gonna be. That's what happens anytime you get
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: a new director for the show, and we are excited
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: about bringing the show to you on the stage at
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the River Center again. Rivercenter dot org, the Columbus Ballet
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: dot org. Get your tickets there December thirteenth and fourteenth,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: or the shows. Now, there is a couple of other
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: shows not really open to the public. You can't buy
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: your tickets. If you have a kid, a son, or
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: a daughter or child that's going to be coming to
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the Ballet and they say, well, we're going on a
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: school show on a Friday. Yes, that's a different show
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: and yes. So when I say the dates, I'm just
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: talking about the ones that are open to the public
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: and the ones that you can purchase tickets for So
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: there you go December thirteenth and fourteenth. Get your tickets
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the Columbus Ballet dot org or Therivercenter dot org. And
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: you can get them from the Rivercenter dot I think
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: there's a the in that website, and then also from
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the River Center box office. And again don't don't get
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: them from a third party broker. That's not what you
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: want to do, all right, So couple things. I want
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: to start this week off with just a couple things.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: And I'm just noticing, and this is something that's been
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: popping into my feed on, like my video feeds. When
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I'm scrolling, I'm not really I don't do the doom
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: scrolling thing. And I know that there's there's a different
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Some people refer to any sort of scrolling for Infinity
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: as doom scrolling, and I understand that, and if that's
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: the case, yes, I do spend some time sometimes doing
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: that version of doom scrolling. I don't think of that.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I think of doom scrolling as you know, people that
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: are looking for negativity, they're looking for things that are
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: going to make them feel a certain way or not
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: feel a certain way or whatever. That's kind of how
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I look at the doom scrolling thing, but I know
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: they just kind of say, anybody who's just wasting their
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: life away on there, and I try not to do that.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I do go in from time to time. People will
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: send me things. I like to watch them. If I
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: enjoy them, I might then share them with someone else.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: If I don't enjoy them very much, I just take
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: it as hey, someone was thinking about me to send
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: me the video, and I think more people should look
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: at it that way. Hey, somebody thought about me and
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: they sent me a video. That's all. That's how you
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: should look at it, even if you don't appreciate it,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: even if you don't like it. Some sort of an
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: acknowledgment is nice in that regard. But one of the
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: things I've been getting more of, and I think this
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: sort of started around the time of the Charlie Kirk
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: assassination and some of the content and things that started
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: popping in, because obviously that was a huge story still
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: is a huge story it continues to be, but I've
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: really started to notice that there are more and more
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: stories coming in from people that maybe I haven't been
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: this necessarily following people whose content I wasn't following. But
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: because I have watched some content from people that are similar,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I'm getting these things and I'm just I'm gonna throw
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: a couple of names out because I don't necessarily Some
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: of these videos, by the way, are like whole episodes
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: of shows, which is fine if you want to watch them. That's,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: you know. I just I typically, if I'm scrolling through
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: reels on Instagram, someone has sent me a reel and
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I watch it and it's a dog doing something cute.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Then I watch it, and then I kind of scroll
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: maybe to something different, and then it's, you know, an
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: hour long episode of you know, somebody's podcast. And I think,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: first of all, that's not what I'm in here for.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a nothing obviously nothing against podcasting. That's
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: not what I'm saying. I'm not pointing that out because
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I appreciate anyone who takes the time to listen to
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: this show. I'm just not inserting my show with ads
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: or whatever into people's you know, their doom scrolling or
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: whatever they're trying to do. I try not to be
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: a doomer anyway, and I've been told that personally and professionally.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Kind of recently, someone said you know, you're you're anything
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: but controversial, and I would have completely agreed with that
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: that it's not controversial anything that I do until Charlie
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Kirk got shot. And I think, well, Charlie Kirk obviously
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: much more popular, much more famous than me. And I'm
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: not comparing myself to Charlie Kirk anything other than the
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: fact that some of our content is a bit similar.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: I talk about my faith. I talk about my faith
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: as it pertains to my politics and my views on
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: you know, various social issues, and I think that's where
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: he and I had that in common. I'm not here
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: to be controversial. I'm here to talk a little bit
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: about why I feel the way that I do. And
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I've been doing this in the in the news talk
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: format since two thousand and seven. It's like eighteen years
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: of that eighteen years and thirty one years now of
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: radio in general. Just celebrated that anniversary, but and just thousands,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: like closing in on two thousand episodes of podcasts and
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: not counting the ones that I've been interviewed on. My
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: goal is not to be shocking or controversial. That's not
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: what I'm setting out to do. Okay, that's just I
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: don't sit down every day angle what controversial thing can
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I say? What take can I have on things. I
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: do like to talk about whatever is going on in
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: the news, and I do like to talk about, you know,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: my perspective on it, and I appreciate you for listening
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: to that. But these that I've started to get more
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: and more inserted into my feed, I've noticed, and I'm
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: just curious if you've noticed this. There's a lot more
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: people that seem to be pushing deeper and deeper into
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: some of the things that might have at one time
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: been considered conspiracy theories. Now I understand that we have
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: had a number of things that fell into the category
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: of conspiracy theories that have turned out to be true,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: and we're starting to learn more and more details on
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: those things. Now, let me also say this, just because
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: things like, hey, there were probably a lot of undercover
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: federal agents at the Capitol on January sixth, and then
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: they say, no, no, no, there weren't any. There were no,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: We were not going to tell you if there were,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: but we're going to tell you that there weren't any.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: And then it turned into well, there may have been
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: about twenty that were there and then it's like two
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: hundred plus, yeah, two fifty, whatever the number is now,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: and you go, that's what we were talking about way
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: back when all of this happened. Those of us who
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: did not look at January sixth, is this great insurrection
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: that they just kept throwing that term around. That was
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: one of the reasons why we questioned it. We questioned
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the use of insurrection. We questioned why. Then Nancy Pelosi,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: who you know, on that video that her daughter filmed,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: basically was like, maybe I should have had some help here,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Maybe I should have accepted National Guard to help defend this.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's on me for not doing that. And it's like, yeah,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: but I also think that maybe you didn't want them
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: there because there were federal agents mixed in, some of
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: them wearing Trump hats and things, and who knows, who
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: knows who all they were. I mean, someone knows. They're
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: definitely not people who mysteriously were locked up and sent away.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: But my point is that's a good example of one
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: of those conspiracy theories that you know, oh, that's just
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: a big conspiracy, and then it was true. A lot
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: of the stuff we've learned about COVID since the pandemic
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: and the vaccines, and then you go, eh, all of
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: that stuff ended up being true. Just because some of
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: those things are true doesn't mean all the conspiracies are
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: true to I just want to make sure that we understand.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: You can say, hey, there were a bunch of federal
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: agents mixed in pretending to not be federal agents at
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: January sixth at the Capitol, and then that can be true.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: And now that we've learned, we've got confirmation that that's true.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: You can also say, well, it's also true that the
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: moon is not a bul I mean, there's people that
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: believe that. There's people that believe that the moon is
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: just a giant balloon in the sky and it's full
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: of air, and if you punctured it, it would just
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know what it would do
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: if you punch. I don't know what they think. But
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: it's possible for one of those to be true and
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: the other one to not be true. But I have
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: noticed there's a lot more people that have really pushed
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: into the much more controversial areas of things. Maybe I'm
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: not going to mention any of the shows. I'll just
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: if you've noticed, maybe you could you know, let me know.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I'm just curious to hear from some of you on
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: whether or not it seems that some of these and
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: there's one in particular that I feel like has really
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: just sort of grabbed the ball and run with it
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: on some of these things, maybe maybe digging into things
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: and finding the truth. I don't know. I don't know
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: what we're going to find out with some of the
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: things this particular person I'm thinking of has been digging into.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: And then there's a couple more and it just seems
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: like they're really kind of pushing it, and it feels
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: like this is kind of a clickbaity type how controversial
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: can I get? At one time I was seeing I
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: was considered what seemed to be a little bit more mainstream,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: and then now they're really sort of pushing the envelope
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: on that. I'm just curious to know if that's happening
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: with anybody else or is just this just the feed
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: that I'm in. Another quick topic I want to touch
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: on is something about tipping. I've talked about tipping for
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: for a while where I just, you know, it feels
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: like this this whole concept of anytime that you use
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: a card in public. And I know there's people that
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: say we should be using cash because you know that
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: four percent or whatever it is that goes to the
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: banks or whatever whatever the dollar amount two to four
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: percent or whatever, and then that money doesn't make it
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: to the actual small business owner. It goes to the banks.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: And then when that small business does the same and
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: pays for things with their cards, it's just slowly just
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: dwindling down that money and it's going to the banks.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I get that. I understand all that. I'm not one
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: typically to carry cash all the time, and I've got
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: some of those cards that and I don't use a
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: debit card. I don't understand people that use their debit
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: cards all the time. I'm sure there's a reason for
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: doing that. I'm a much bigger fan of a card
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: that has some sort of either a cash back or
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: some sort of a financial benefit to using that card
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: that gets paid off every month. But I feel a
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: little more secure when I know that if my card
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: somehow was stolen and my pin number was stolen, someone
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: can't completely wipe out my checking account, and then how
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: am I supposed to pay my bills while they get
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: it all sorted out? But Anyway, I digress, but this
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: whole thing with using a card and then you know
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: that little screen gets flipped around or that little screen
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: is there and it's you know, hey, you've you know,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: done this basic thing that we've done a thousand times,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: and now we're going to ask you if you want
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: to give us twenty to twenty five percent. You know,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: you've walked up, you've purchased like a cookie, and we
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: want to know if you want to give us twenty
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: five percent tip because you bought a cookie and we
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: put it in a box and gave it to you,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: or a cupcake or whatever. And I think, you know,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I've expressed that. I think a big part of that
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: ties into the idea that these card companies are saying, well,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: we're going to put the machines in for you, so
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: we're going to add this because they want their four
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: percent of that tip as well. All right, So side
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: note over here on tipping, and this was an article
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: that I found online about how I guess we have
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: bartenders expressing now that they that people just aren't tipping anymore,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: either not tipping or not tipping very much, and they
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: feel like people have started to skimp on tips here lately,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: and according to bartenders, they say that the tip should
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: be twenty percent. Now, I don't spend very much time
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: in bars. I just very rarely am I in a
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: bar anyway, haven't spent much time now. I have been
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: in bars in a professional capacity or like you know,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: for work in the past, and I can just tell you,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: even when I was there working for whatever reason, I'm
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: just one of those people that gets ignored at the bar.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: And when people get ignored at the bar or the
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: bartender isn't you know, they're busy taking care of other people,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: maybe the people that they know. I think it's hard
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: to justify saying, well, we have to get this twenty
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: percent tip. But even some people saying, well, if you
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: don't get good service, we would understand dropping it down
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: to eighteen percent. And then they're saying, you know, in
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: some cases down to fifteen percent. So people were saying
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: that they consistently get less and less, And I don't know,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know what would be the cause of this
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: trend other than the fact that we we just went
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: through this absolute stomping of the middle class in the
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: last four years during the last administration. I should say
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: in four of the last five years and then this
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: recovery period that we're in now. But I think that's
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: what we've witnessed, and we've witnessed prices going up, and
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: we've witnessed cost of everything going up, and I know
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: we get to this point where a lot of times,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: even with you know, staff waiters and waitresses at restaurants,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: where they say, well, then just don't come out to eat.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: If you can't afford to tip us, then you shouldn't
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: come out to eat, and those sorts of things. And
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: that's transition some people to say, well, we'll just come
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: in and pick up food. Well, when you come pick
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: it up, you also have to tip. I'm just wondering
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: how the bar owners or the restaurant owners feel about
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: that mindset of don't come in our bar if you
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: can't give us twenty percent, don't come in our restaurant
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: if you can't give us twenty percent, even if you're
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: picking up food to go. I mean, that can't be
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: good for business long term.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Can it.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: So I'm just making you aware that there is an
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: expectation there. Just know, maybe in the past people have
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: ignored or missed out on tipping. The bartenders, and I
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: don't know. I know there's mixed feelings about picking up food.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I think it depends on how involved. Sometimes the food
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: that you pick up at the restaurant, by the way,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: you're picking up at the bar anyway, if it's a
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: restaurant and bar, often that's the case. I've actually been
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: in a place before where I was going to pay
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: the bartender, give the bartender a cash tip. I picked
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: up something because I felt like it was pretty involved,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: and because I didn't on my slip that I signed
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: put a tip on it, they wanted to publicly shame
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: me out loud, what no tip on here? And it's like, yeah,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: it was cash in my pocket, but you know what,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna hang on to it just for that, just
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: for the little show that you put on, because I
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: didn't appreciate that. And that's not okay either, but it's
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: something that apparently is happening if you don't follow their rules.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Is twenty percent too much at a bar? I mean,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: I don't, like I said, I don't spend a lot
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: of time at a bar, but that does seem like
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: that could be a bit high, especially if you're one
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: of those people liked me that for some reason spends
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: a decent amount of time just standing there waiting on
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: the bartender to ask me what I want for a drink.

  Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to

  Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: you want it to be, and you need some repair
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some

• 23:53
  Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.

• 24:02
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, And they do
• 24:05

• 24:16
  Speaker 2: right after the break. Well, as we are working our
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: way closer and closer to the end of October and
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Halloween coming up. Halloween candy prices are apparently giving some
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: people a bit of sticker shock, with some bags going
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: for twenty five dollars or more, and that's triggering some
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: debate on social media. Uh, some saying they're skipping trigger
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: treating altogether because of the cost, saying porch light will
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: be off this year for some uh, and some saying
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: they're just gonna go to cheaper alternatives toys or stickers
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: or things and candy. Those are ways that you can
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: obviously still be part of it. Just know, I think
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: kids are expecting candy. That's what they're hoping for. They're
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: not hoping for stickers or cheap little toys. But I
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: guess Instacart's latest data says Reese's Peanut butter cups are
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: still officially America's most order Halloween candy, followed by peanut
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: m and ms, then regular eminems and then kit kats.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Other favorites rounding out the list include Snickers, Sour Patch Kids,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Hershey's Milk Chocolate, Milky Way Twigs, and those harribogummies. My
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: kids are big fun of fans of gummies in particular,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: but those Hairbos and the Sour Patch Kids, they really
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: like those. I will say this though, the Nerds gummy
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: clusters are a big hit in my house, and my wife,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: who does not eat a lot of candy, loves those things.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: So just putting that on your radar if you haven't
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: stopped to think about the Nerds clusters, those gummy clusters
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: in Germany, Austria, and I guess in that area, there's
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: a social media trend called putting mitt Gable and it's
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: putting with a fork, and they say that it's something
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: that's happening a lot now in parks and public spaces,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: people of all ages together with individual pudding cups and forks,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: not spoons, to eat together. No one knows exactly what
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: the origin of this thing was, but it's spreading fast
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: across cities, and I guess it's the absurdism of all
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: of it that they call it peak German humor and
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: that there's no deep meaning or political message, just something
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: fun to do. So you show up with a pudding
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: cup and a fork and you all sit around together
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: and you eat your pudding with a fork. I mean
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: it's something to do. It's definitely, it's definitely something to do. Uh.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: A bride to be has stirred up some drama on
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: social media after demanding that her bride'smaids get spray hands
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: before her wedding so they all don't look too pale
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: in the photos. And this is one of those bridezilla
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: things that's fallen into some of those categories. One of
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: the bride'smaids, who happens to be a cousin of this
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: particular bride, says some of the bride'smaids complied, and when
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: they showed up bronze, the bride flipped out sand they
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: looked too dark and accused them of sabotaging her look.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: She even told one bride's maid to try scrubbing hers off.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: What's crazier is that the bride herself is very pale
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: and refuses to get a spray tond, insisting everyone else
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: should match, which you know, goes back to the question
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: of why did she want them to get spray hands
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: in the first place. That's a weird request. I think.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: I think what we need to have now when we
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: get these Bridezilla type stories, these bridesmaids, is we need
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: people to be able to step in and just go
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. We're not
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: you know, we're not all going to wear this horribly
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: ugly dress. I'll just come to the wedding and sit
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: with everybody else. Or I'm not going to get a
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: spray tan or whatever is going on. Have you heard
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: of biobating? It's the latest trend causing frustration among singles.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: It's when someone oversells themselves in a dating app bio,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: creating expectations that they don't actually meet in real life.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: And I think that I don't know there was a
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: term for it, but it doesn't surprise me that people
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: do it. It's been going on for a while. Catfishing
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: is where you pretend to be someone else entirely, but
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: biobating is a little more subtle. Basically, it's about exaggerating
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: traits like being adventurous, spontaneous, or a foodie. A recent
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: survey found sixty three percent of singles felt left let
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: down after meeting someone who did not live up to
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: their profile. We'd love to travel being the most misleading
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: biobating claim. That was followed by adventurer, entrepreneur, foodie, and spontaneous.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: So if you're not those things, you will be labeled
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: as a biobater and not be very well liked by
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: the people that are hoping to meet you and go
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: on these great adventures and eat crazy food with you
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: while being spontaneous. I guess that'll do it for this
