The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start your day
0:06
and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show. Thursday morning, fourteenth day
0:11
of December. I'm Wes, thanks for joining me. Got another big night
0:18
of rehearsals for the Nutcracker tonight at the River Center. We got really started
0:24
with the Act two yesterday. Schedule for the week, you know, the
0:30
whole ins and outs of it, but we'll Act one was on Tuesday,
0:36
Act two was on Wednesday, and then now the whole show will be tonight,
0:40
so we're getting ready. Tomorrow morning we'll have our school show, not
0:44
open to the public, but area school kids will be coming in to see
0:48
the show. And then on we'll have another dress rehearsal tomorrow night. If
0:52
you see me at any point during the day tomorrow, there's a good chance
0:56
I'll be wearing a lot of makeup. Okay, I don't take it off
1:00
between shows, even if one is a show and one is a dress rehearsal,
1:04
I don't take it off. It's very painful taking off that much makeup
1:08
and I'm not used to it right, And as I've said before, this
1:12
is just me being lazy and being extra considerate to my delicate facial skin.
1:19
So I don't want I'm not making a statement. I'm just being lazy and
1:23
trying to take care of my face. And if I'm gonna scrape it off
1:26
tomorrow night, right, I'll have to do that and then put it on
1:32
again for Saturday mornings Mother Ginger tea event, and then I'll have it on
1:36
all day Saturday, wear it through the show, scrape it off that night,
1:38
put it back on again on Sunday. That's the game plan. So
1:42
anyway, if you see me again, it's not making a statement. It's
1:46
just me telling you I'm in the nutcracker and I'm too. I just can't
1:51
be bothered scraping all that stuff off my face. I enjoy it during the
1:53
show, right, I enjoy that. I don't necessarily enjoy taking it off
2:00
or the time it takes to put it on. It's a lot of makeup.
2:02
I'm not complaining too much. I know people who have been on TV
2:07
shows and movies that have had lots that they've had to do, you know,
2:10
hours of makeup for you know, like an hour shoot or something,
2:15
and then take it off again. So I'm not complaining. It's just makeup.
2:19
But I'm just letting you know I'm not making a statement of any kind
2:22
other than the statement is I don't feel like scraping it all off and then
2:27
putting it back on again the same day. So that's your heads up.
2:30
Tickets don't get them anywhere but through the River Center. If you're coming to
2:34
the Nutcracker this weekend, make sure you go to the River Center box office
2:38
or get them through the River Center's website or follow the links from the Coolumbus
2:44
Ballet dot org. That's what you want to do, and that's where you
2:46
can get your mother Ginger Tea tickets you can also get and that's on Saturday
2:50
at lunchtime. That's a special kind of event. It's something extra we added
2:53
this year, and it's just going to be an hour and a half of
2:57
me hosting the event again with all the makeup. That's what happens. But
3:02
you have to get the tickets there through the Columbus Ballet dot org. And
3:06
while you're there, you can follow the link through to the River Center and
3:08
you can get a ten percent discount on your tickets for the Nutcracker at the
3:14
River Center. Just don't buy them from a third party site. You don't
3:16
want to do that. You're just gonna get ripped off and they're gonna make
3:20
you pay too much. Just a couple of things. The Hunter Biden thing
3:24
yesterday basically calls now to hold him in contempt. That that discussion, of
3:32
course, started yesterday, and you know, he was subpoena to appear at
3:39
a House oversight and judiciary committees and judiciary committees and just didn't show. He
3:46
did a press conference he basically said that, you know, he was.
3:52
He criticized everything with by basically referencing like this was some sort of a hit
4:00
job on his dad. And he even said they belittled my recovery. They've
4:06
tried to dehumanize me, all to embarrass my father, who has devoted his
4:12
entire life to public service for six years. I've been a target of the
4:15
unrelenting Trump attack team. Where's Hunter. Well, here's my answer, I'm
4:21
here. But where he wasn't was where he was supposed to be. He
4:26
also said my father was not financially involved in my business. This is a
4:30
far cry, This is a change. This is a very drastic shift in
4:33
position from the I've never discussed any of the business dealings with my father.
4:40
So now we have changed drastically from that stance, which was nothing. We've
4:46
never even discussed it. So now he's not he wasn't directly involved in anything,
4:53
which could mean a number of different things, honestly, but anyway,
4:59
that's the position Donald Trump Junior, who has been on the show, you
5:05
know, he did behind closed doors questioning and that's one of the things that
5:11
Hunter Biden says. He wants it to be a public hearing. I think
5:15
he feels like if it's a public hearing, it's going to be beneficial to
5:17
his dad. His dad probably would feel that way as well. Most people
5:20
on the left would probably feel that way. Donald Trump Junior had to testify
5:25
for forty hours about the Russian hoax, right, all the Russia stuff,
5:31
So you know, we have this double standard that's continuing to play out,
5:36
and are they gonna you know, this is like a stunt, now,
5:41
you know, this is one of those deals where I saw the post on
5:45
X from Representative Byron Donald's Hunter Biden, this ain't burger king. You can't
5:50
have it your way when it comes to congressional subpoenas with the stunts. Make
5:55
your way to the deposition room and let's talk other people asking what's Hunter Biden
6:00
afraid of those sorts of questions. So anyway, it's a I'm sure it's
6:05
a smart move to try to avoid it. It's just going to be a
6:09
question of how long can he avoid it. That's ultimately the question, right.
6:14
So a lot of backlash after the press conference and calls for holding him
6:19
in contempt and we'll see, we'll see what happens with all that. Hey,
6:24
another just a shift. I just want to talk about this story because
6:26
I got a few little things I want to talk about today. But I
6:29
saw the story yesterday and it's about we've talked before about some of the things
6:38
that's happening in different parts of the country as it concerns things like, you
6:44
know, racism when it comes to healthcare and some of the things that are
6:49
being pushed on the healthcare workers. And this is also from ex American Nurses
6:56
Association posted this and here we go. I mean, basically, it's an
7:01
opportunity for nurses to get credit hours, right, they can earn credit hours
7:09
by listening to podcasts. Not just any podcasts. This podcast doesn't get them
7:15
any credit hours. Here's the tweet or the X or whatever they're calling it.
7:19
This holiday season, give yourself the gift of up to twenty eight complimentary
7:26
cn E credits with seven exciting see You Now podcast bundles worth four contact hours
7:32
each. Explore our bundles and register for one or all at no cost.
7:40
And it's got the link to it, and it's a bunch of hashtags and
7:44
their a and a innovation a hashtag nurse Twitter. So here's the list the
7:48
curated podcast bundles that offer four free CNY credits each aspiring nurses. I don't
8:01
know what that one is, but that sounds like that could be useful.
8:05
Advocacy to activism. Uh oh, well, where's this going? Rooting out
8:11
racism? And health care? Okay, primary care access. Don't know what
8:16
that one is, but that one doesn't sound too harmful either. Focus on
8:18
health equity. We start throwing that equity word around and you go, wait
8:22
a minute, focus on mental health. There we go. Why isn't that
8:26
number one on the list that should be the first one that should be our
8:28
biggest priority in America right now? Shouldn't it? Technology and data driven care?
8:35
All right, Well, that sounds all right, but I don't know.
8:37
I don't know specifically what they are trying to look for a little bit
8:45
of a breakdown on what these specific ones. The Advocacy to Activism Bundle has
8:54
a vote for Mom's Health. Are you ready to vote? Planetary Health Healer.
9:01
It basically is an episode on climate change on people's health and livelihoods.
9:07
So yeah, there's that one. See even the ones that don't sound,
9:09
they have this stuff in there, right they have, Well that one did
9:13
sound, didn't it any of this? This is about the A and A.
9:20
They say racism is a substantial, substantial problem with the profession, and
9:26
they said that the surveys reveal that nearly half of nurses witness a lot of
9:31
racism and nursing sixty three percent personally experiencing it. So that's why they say
9:37
that this is something that is important. So you basically can get And I
9:43
don't know a lot about the education system when it comes to becoming a nurse,
9:50
but I do find it interesting that these are basically counting. I don't
9:54
know they mean they have to sign up for them. Does it specifically say
9:58
that they have to listen to them? Right? I don't know. It
10:03
says register for one or all at no cost, but to explore all the
10:07
bundles that are available there to them. So this is now the second time
10:13
we've had the nursing profession dabbling into this, right, this is something that
10:20
we need to be aware of, you know, It's something that we just
10:24
need to know is going on. I feel like the more of our specific
10:31
groups, and we always talk about the tribalism of things in the way you
10:35
break people down and put them in a specific block, specific groups, and
10:39
I think a lot of this goes back to that old I wish I could
10:43
remember who who said this, and I know it's become sort of a common
10:50
thing that gets repeated, so I don't know where to go back to the
10:52
origin for it. So excuse me for but that old adage about you know,
10:58
a single thread from a spider's web, one single thread is not going
11:05
to do a whole lot of harm. You're not catching a lot with it.
11:09
But when you actually network that's that web into a giant spider web,
11:13
you know, that's when it becomes functioning as a group. And as you
11:18
connect people in different ways, they're able to be more effective. And that's
11:24
true in the voting block in the voting community. You know, a spider
11:28
web can actually catch you know, the food for a spider, It can
11:35
catch its next victims. It can be effective as a whole. But one
11:37
single strand it's just just you know, it's just annoying. You walk through
11:41
that one strand of a spider web, it's just obnoxious. And the ah
11:46
man got that on me. It's going to be stuck to me all day.
11:50
I can't get rid of it. And it certainly seems to be that
11:56
as we do this tribalism thing, the more and more groups, the more
12:00
breakdowns that we have of each particular group, each particular group saying that it's
12:05
they're the most important ones that are going to root out climate change, They're
12:09
going to root out racism, they're going to root out transphobia, all of
12:15
the things that each group is going to be specifically responsible for fixing it.
12:20
And it's just I find it interesting. And this kind of ties back to
12:22
the other story is it's when are we going to be able to tabulate some
12:26
sort of progress on any of these things as we've had basically overall in many
12:33
ways the left and power certainly now and you know, at least having control
12:39
in one branch or. You know, even when the right has control,
12:43
it's really close. And when the left has control, you know, they
12:48
tend to be have a little bit better advantage in some ways and they can
12:52
get things done, but no progress gets made on these All of our problems
12:56
that they keep telling us are out there continue to be out there. So
13:00
they're convincing. I guess. I mean, if I was a nurse,
13:03
I would probably want to take advantage of this. I guess that sounds like
13:07
a lot of credit hours they're get getting there for that. You know,
13:11
it seems like a good deal. It sounds like it sounds like a win.
13:15
If you're able to do that and get credit for it, why wouldn't
13:18
you take advantage of it. It's kind of a no brainer there, right,
13:22
unless you're just you know, like me, you just get stubborn and
13:24
go, I'm not going to do that on principle, I don't want to
13:28
do that. I just don't want to do it. Like there was something
13:33
I was buying at the store yesterday. I had the word organic on it,
13:37
and I thought, this just hurts my hands touching it. I don't
13:39
want I mean, I've bought accidentally bought organic fruit before, or a vegetable
13:45
that was organic, and I didn't know. I didn't see that it was
13:48
labeled that way. It certainly to me was no different. It was just
13:52
like all the other fruits or vegetables, except you know, it has an
13:56
older, weaker pesticide on it. Let's be honest, that's what it is.
13:58
It doesn't have the current best possible pesticide. That's kind of how I
14:03
feel. There's a certain amount of like, you know, oh, you
14:05
can take these credit hours if you do this. I'm not doing that.
14:09
Screw that. I don't know. I'd probably take it if all you got
14:11
to do is listen to a podcast. You know, I'm all for people
14:16
listening to podcasts. Those don't seem to be effective ones. I just want
14:18
to know if this nursing thing, if this is going to solve all the
14:22
problems of the world. This is going to fix racism and nursing, this
14:24
is going to fix racism in society in general. Why aren't we seeing any
14:30
progress? Why since the sixties have we seen no real progress? With all
14:35
the efforts that the left has made, they can't even show us that we've
14:39
had progress. They keep saying it's worse now. How is it worse now?
14:43
How have you been running things in making all these attempts at making things
14:50
better and now they're worse and you're not taking any accountability for it. There's
14:52
no culpability there at all. You just blame the other side and say it
14:56
so it's these Republicans, man, it's all there. They've made it worse
15:01
and here we are trying to offer you some kind of a solution. It's
15:03
ridiculous. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science
15:09
Center, inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders
15:18
that really of all ages. I mean, they do it for school age
15:22
kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they
15:26
also do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy,
15:31
physics, and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now.
15:37
And you can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot
15:45
org. While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming programs.
15:50
They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwobe School of music from
15:56
Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any conart experience that
16:02
you can get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when you're watching
16:03
it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus,
16:07
Georgia. I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens right here
16:14
in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new
16:19
season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
16:26
and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can
16:29
get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes
16:33
you get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
16:37
and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their
16:41
website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan says, Charlie Charlie SamSam
16:48
Charlie dot org, I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
16:53
Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company
17:00
of Columbus for all of your garage door needs commercial or residential. Maybe you
17:06
have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance on
17:11
anything that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
17:15
Company of Columbus can take care of square in that away for you, and
17:19
while they're there, you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
17:23
cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal
17:29
isn't quite what you want it to be and you need some repair work done
17:32
to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely.
17:37
Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's
17:41
some sort of insallation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes
17:45
that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
17:49
you'd like to add a screen door to your garage door system that you can
17:53
put down and you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but
18:00
indoor. You know, if you like to work on your own cars in
18:02
there, or maybe you just want a little man cavid. You'd like to
18:04
be able to open the door up and not invite all the insects in.
18:08
They can do that for you as well, and again they do after hours
18:11
calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your
18:15
garage and your garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
18:21
and they do those as well. Seven oh six thory five eight forty five

18:30
West Carol Morning Show right after the break. So is there a normal way
18:44
to shower? This question has been posed on social media, and I guess
18:51
they say that there's primarily two ways that people shower. Some people face the
18:55
shower head, some people don't face the shower. And I guess the person
19:03
who asked this question they were in the middle of doing some sort of a
19:06
remodeling project with their home and discussing with their mom, and then they found
19:11
out that their mom faced the shower during the during a showering, and the
19:17
question then started to go around like who faces the shower, who doesn't face
19:21
the shower? And apparently there's a mixed bag to this, as you know,
19:26
and people are pretty passionate about it. One way or the other.
19:30
It's a strange conversation to me. I mean, I kind of get it.
19:33
I guess if people just do one or the other, but I don't.
19:37
I sometimes face, sometimes don't face. It depends on which part of
19:42
the showering process is happening. You know, if you're washing your hair,
19:48
then you probably are facing the shower, right. That's for me, and
19:53
that's kind of the starting process. But at some point, you know you're
19:56
gonna lather up a little bit. I'm not gonna get two graphic my showering
20:00
details, but you understand, Like to me, there's different parts of the
20:04
body that you're washing and maybe other parts are being rinsed. I try to
20:07
be efficient with my showering. That's what my point is. So anyway,
20:14
I don't know is that apparently it's a bigger thing than I would have ever
20:17
thought it was. I'd like a category for people who face both. Now
20:22
I don't know if this matters, but we have one of those, you
20:26
know, rainfall shower heads, so that basically, and I know some people
20:32
maybe have the handheld, some people have you know, just more of a
20:36
jet stream kind of thing coming out. So for us, it's you know,
20:40
we're just kind of standing there, so it's pretty easy I guess to
20:42
turn in there. I don't know, but it's interesting that people are caught
20:47
up in the fact that other people don't shower the way that they do.
20:48
I suppose do you have someone in your life who likes both Dorito's and liquor.
20:56
Well, I got good news for you. It's not good news if
20:59
you're trying to get this in time for Christmas, because it won't be available
21:02
until next year. But early next year, the folks at Dorito's are bringing
21:07
you a brand new Dorito's liquor. Dorito's has partnered with international liquor company Empirical
21:15
to develop a nacho cheese flavored spirit that promises to smell and taste like Dorito's.
21:21
We need more, let's smell out there. The flavor profile described as
21:25
a nacho cheese, corn to stata umami in a hint of acidity that will
21:30
work best in a margarita or bloody Mary. The cheesy liquor will appear in
21:37
stores beginning next month, and it's going to cost about sixty five dollars a
21:40
bottle. It's not a bad looking bottle. I'll be honest with you,
21:44
I'm just looking at the picture of it, but not really in my wheelhouse
21:51
of beverages. But I would try it. If they wanted to send me
21:52
a bottle, I'd certainly give it a shot. Are you planning to travel
21:57
over Christmas to New Years? If so, you'll have about one hundred and
22:00
fifteen million other Americans on the road or in the air with you. According
22:03
to Triple A, this year, it's expected to be the second busiest holiday
22:07
travel season since two thousand, with one hundred and fifteen point two million Americans
22:12
expected to travel at least fifty miles. A record seven point five million will
22:17
be flying this year, So if you're hitting the road, the busiest days
22:21
will be December twenty third and twenty eighth. If you have to travel on
22:25
those days, experts advise leaving before lunch or after seven pm. So there
22:30
you go. That'll do it for this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks
22:34
to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back
22:38
