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.
0:10
Speaker 2: Monday morning, tenth day of November. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:15
Speaker 2: joining me. We are into a week that has our
0:20
Speaker 2: Veterans Day holiday. Many of the kids in the area
0:23
Speaker 2: will be having holiday tomorrow. Some businesses will be taking
0:28
Speaker 2: the day off, some of the federal places are going
0:31
Speaker 2: to be getting the day off. So just a reminder
0:35
Speaker 2: that that is coming up tomorrow. In a day to
0:39
Speaker 2: honor those who have served. This one's different than some
0:43
Speaker 2: of the other holidays we've done. You do Memorial Day,
0:47
Speaker 2: which is a different holiday, it's not the same. Memorial
0:51
Speaker 2: Day is about those who made the ultimate sacrifice. That's
0:55
Speaker 2: what Memorial Day is. Veterans Day is the day to
0:58
Speaker 2: thank them all and thank them for their service, thank
1:02
Speaker 2: them for you know, and really it's not a bad
1:06
Speaker 2: idea to honor their families because this is also there's
1:10
Speaker 2: a service that comes with being the family of a veteran.
1:13
Speaker 2: So a lot of area kids will be taking the
1:16
Speaker 2: day off tomorrow because of the holiday. So plan accordingly,
1:21
Speaker 2: you know, depending on what you got going on for
1:24
Speaker 2: the week ahead. So I want to mention to you
1:28
Speaker 2: we have the Nutcracker Ballet performed by the Columbus Ballet
1:34
Speaker 2: right here in Columbus, Georgia at the Columbus River Center
1:38
Speaker 2: and tickets are available now. You can get your tickets.
1:41
Speaker 2: We're now about a little over a month away from
1:44
Speaker 2: shows December of the thirteenth and fourteenth. That is an
1:48
Speaker 2: evening show on the thirteenth, the matinee show on the fourteenth,
1:51
Speaker 2: Saturday and Sunday. As I mentioned before, there's some other shows,
1:56
Speaker 2: but they're not really open to the public. They're a
1:58
Speaker 2: little different. Friday Night is basically a full advance show
2:04
Speaker 2: that involves military for military appreciation that fits in with
2:08
Speaker 2: the theme of a Veteran's Day this week.
2:11
Speaker 3: But the tickets that you can.
2:13
Speaker 2: Purchase are the ones for the thirteenth and the fourteenth,
2:16
Speaker 2: And you want to get your tickets from the Coolumbus
2:18
Speaker 2: Ballet dot org, the River Center box office, or Rivercenter
2:21
Speaker 2: dot org. You buy them from somewhere else, you might
2:23
Speaker 2: be paying a marked up price. You don't want to
2:26
Speaker 2: do that. Get your tickets now. And like I said,
2:29
Speaker 2: you got two options online. One option if you go
2:32
Speaker 2: into the box office there at the River Center to
2:35
Speaker 2: get your tickets. We are have been working hard to
2:39
Speaker 2: get this show ready to go for the now my
2:42
Speaker 2: seventh time, this is for the twenty twenty five season,
2:45
Speaker 2: but my seventh time in the show in the role
2:49
Speaker 2: of Mother Ginger and post surgery. You know, I had
2:54
Speaker 2: surgery on my neck about nine weeks ago, working on
2:58
Speaker 2: ten weeks, I guess. And I've gotten my clearance now
3:02
Speaker 2: to get back on the stilts. But they haven't needed
3:04
Speaker 2: me back on the stilts yet at rehearsals because my role.
3:09
Speaker 2: By the way, if you're new to this process, I'm
3:11
Speaker 2: on stilts for my role as Mother Ginger. It's a
3:13
Speaker 2: role typically played by a man. The stilts, the dress,
3:17
Speaker 2: the harness, everything involved with this it's heavy, and that's
3:22
Speaker 2: one of the reasons. It's the same sort of concept
3:25
Speaker 2: as you know Peter Pan Tinkerbells, you know played by
3:29
Speaker 2: or Peter Pan is usually played by a woman. Of course,
3:30
Speaker 2: tinker Bell is Peter Pan usually played by a woman
3:34
Speaker 2: because easier to fly them around with the harnesses and
3:37
Speaker 2: things in.
3:38
Speaker 3: The stage show.
3:40
Speaker 2: So in this case, it's typically a role played by
3:44
Speaker 2: a man. There are certainly times where women play the role,
3:47
Speaker 2: but I think part of the fun of the show is,
3:51
Speaker 2: you know, you've got this tradition of a man playing
3:55
Speaker 2: the role, and I play, you know, Mother Ginger, And
4:00
Speaker 2: I've got seven girls that are my Paulis Chanel's my
4:04
Speaker 2: Tabithas that I call them as nicknames. They come out
4:06
Speaker 2: of the dress, they dance around, and we exit the stage.
4:09
Speaker 2: We have a good time. It's a divertisement ballet. It's
4:13
Speaker 2: my favorite type of ballet. It's a distraction in the
4:17
Speaker 2: show and we have a good time.
4:19
Speaker 3: It's fun.
4:20
Speaker 2: So join us, won't you for the Nutcracker at the
4:24
Speaker 2: River Center December thirteenth and fourteenth, or thirteenth or fourteenth,
4:29
Speaker 2: either one or you can come to both. We'd love
4:31
Speaker 2: to have you at both. By all means, come to
4:32
Speaker 2: both shows, and I typically just for reference sake. If
4:37
Speaker 2: you have a good time. You know, most of the
4:41
Speaker 2: cast will come out to the lobby after the show
4:43
Speaker 2: and kind of mingle. I usually wander out there still
4:45
Speaker 2: on stilts. We'll see how that goes this year. Like
4:49
Speaker 2: I said, I haven't been back on the stilts this
4:50
Speaker 2: year for rehearsals yet, so got to get my stilt
4:53
Speaker 2: legs back under me. But I'm confident we'll get all
4:56
Speaker 2: that under control. This morning, we're going to talk about
5:01
Speaker 2: something that has transpired overseas, and there's definitely some importance
5:08
Speaker 2: to it as it pertains to us here in the
5:10
Speaker 2: States when it comes to the media, because obviously we
5:17
Speaker 2: have been victim of different speeches and things being altered
5:23
Speaker 2: or edited to make things seem different. In some cases,
5:28
Speaker 2: there have been very mild repercussions from it in bigger
5:33
Speaker 2: cases and things.
5:34
Speaker 3: Not so much.
5:36
Speaker 2: And something significant has happened across the pond. We'll talk
5:40
Speaker 2: about that in just a minute. First, I want to
5:44
Speaker 2: talk to you about preparing for the unthinkable, preparing for
5:49
Speaker 2: a disaster, Preparing for a situation that might come along
5:54
Speaker 2: where you're going to need to take care of yourself
5:58
Speaker 2: and your family more importantly, and if you're scrambling once
6:04
Speaker 2: whatever the horrible thing is that happens, whether it's weather related,
6:08
Speaker 2: whether it's civil unrest, whatever it could be, you want
6:12
Speaker 2: to make sure that you are ready to take care
6:16
Speaker 2: of them before whatever it is takes place. We are
6:21
Speaker 2: very reactionary. We're all guilty of it in some capacity.
6:25
Speaker 2: We say, oh my gosh, there's a really bad storm
6:27
Speaker 2: coming so let's get some candles, let's get some flashlights,
6:32
Speaker 2: Let's make sure that we've got batteries. Let's run to
6:35
Speaker 2: the store and buy some cans of soup and some
6:38
Speaker 2: milk and some bread. And that's kind of what we do.
6:42
Speaker 2: That's typically how we react to things that are coming. Well,
6:47
Speaker 2: there's more to it than that. And the more that
6:49
Speaker 2: I have dug into this, the more that I understand
6:52
Speaker 2: that there's things I've never even thought of or considered
6:56
Speaker 2: when it comes to prepping. So our friends at prep

8:27
Speaker 2: plan was yesterday. Prep Starts Now.
8:30
Speaker 3: All right, I want to talk to you about this.
8:33
Speaker 3: There's been some.
8:34
Speaker 2: Jobs lost overseas and it relates to the BBC Tim Davey,
8:40
Speaker 2: who has stepped down now because of this footage from
8:47
Speaker 2: the January sixth speech back in twenty twenty one. So basically,
8:58
Speaker 2: and this is one of those things that sadly, we've
9:00
Speaker 2: all kind of been experiencing and dealing with now for
9:03
Speaker 2: a little while. And I want to touch a little
9:06
Speaker 2: bit on the social media side of this first, because
9:09
Speaker 2: there's been this story that's been floating around about how,
9:13
Speaker 2: a few stories about how according to research, and it
9:15
Speaker 2: just depends on you know, your social media feed is
9:21
Speaker 2: going to be different. And I'm not talking about like
9:23
Speaker 2: your friends. I'm talking about just the news articles and
9:26
Speaker 2: things that you click on. There's algorithms. You've heard this
9:29
Speaker 2: term before, there's algorithms. And you get on social media
9:33
Speaker 2: and if you're on Instagram and you're watching videos about camping,
9:37
Speaker 2: Like I watched a couple of videos with some guys
9:41
Speaker 2: and it was kind of in the vein of this
9:42
Speaker 2: prepping thing that we're talking about, but as guys just
9:45
Speaker 2: showing like, hey, here's an easy way to make a
9:47
Speaker 2: fire just with sticks. Let me show you the easy
9:50
Speaker 2: way to do it. Here's some things that you can
9:52
Speaker 2: take camping with you that will help you start a
9:54
Speaker 2: fire and you won't even need matches and those kinds
9:56
Speaker 2: of things. Well, the next thing I know, I'm being
9:59
Speaker 2: just constantly, you know, overwhelmed with these videos from all
10:05
Speaker 2: these different not even the same people, all these different people.
10:08
Speaker 2: I've watched a few videos on a couple of medical things,
10:11
Speaker 2: and then suddenly that's all that I'm getting over and
10:13
Speaker 2: over again.
10:15
Speaker 3: And it's the system.
10:15
Speaker 2: It's the way that it's all set up to do,
10:17
Speaker 2: because it basically says, oh, you like that, you'll probably
10:20
Speaker 2: like this, and that is something that we've all experienced
10:24
Speaker 2: in some way, shape or form. I mean, it's the system,
10:28
Speaker 2: it's the way it works. So we get that, we
10:35
Speaker 2: experience that, but we don't all consider the fact that
10:37
Speaker 2: everyone else isn't seeing it. I've had moments where, you know,
10:41
Speaker 2: one of my parents would say, you know that ad
10:44
Speaker 2: it's on Facebook, and I go, well, first of all,
10:47
Speaker 2: your Facebook and my Facebook are different. You're seeing ads
10:50
Speaker 2: that I may not see and having to explain that
10:54
Speaker 2: to them and have them say, oh, I see. So
10:57
Speaker 2: there's elements of that to this. We're already getting different
11:00
Speaker 2: information to begin with. Okay, so let's start with that
11:03
Speaker 2: as the baseline, because it is it's the nature of
11:06
Speaker 2: this type of information that's being passed along to us. Now,
11:11
Speaker 2: what makes things even more complicated is when you take
11:14
Speaker 2: something like this January sixth speech. If you listen to
11:18
Speaker 2: the speech, and there were many Americans that voted for
11:22
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, you know, in that election, and on January sixth,
11:26
Speaker 2: they were watching the speech because they were like, what
11:28
Speaker 2: is he going to say about these people that are
11:31
Speaker 2: protesting at the Capitol. And many of us saw the speech.
11:37
Speaker 2: I was covering this for media, so I was watching it.
11:43
Speaker 2: And it was a very short time later, just a
11:45
Speaker 2: couple of like days later, when people started throwing around
11:49
Speaker 2: all these terms and all these accusations about insurrection, and
11:54
Speaker 2: they said, yeah, Trump was telling people to go and
11:56
Speaker 2: be violent, and I said, I didn't hear that. I
11:59
Speaker 2: watched the speech. I didn't hear anything about that. And
12:02
Speaker 2: there were media outlets that did. They diced it up,
12:05
Speaker 2: they put it back together, and they made it sound horrible,
12:08
Speaker 2: and they made it sound like things were being said
12:11
Speaker 2: or suggested that wasn't reality. If you ever saw the
12:16
Speaker 2: movie The Running Man, the Original Running Man, and I
12:20
Speaker 2: didn't read the book, and I'm not a big Stephen
12:22
Speaker 2: King reader, but I'll just tell you in the original
12:26
Speaker 2: movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger, there's a scene at the beginning
12:29
Speaker 2: of the movie. We've talked about this before, where he's
12:31
Speaker 2: been told he's supposed to fire on a crowd of
12:33
Speaker 2: people in his helicopter, like as I don't know if
12:36
Speaker 2: he's military or if he's he's some sort of law enforcement,
12:41
Speaker 2: and he doesn't want to do it, and he says
12:43
Speaker 2: he's not going to do it, and they, basically because
12:46
Speaker 2: he's been told he has to do it and he's
12:48
Speaker 2: supposed to follow orders, the rest of the crew kind
12:51
Speaker 2: of incapacitates him. They fire on the crowd, and then
12:55
Speaker 2: they edit audio from his communication with them make it
13:00
Speaker 2: sound like he's the one who fired on the crowd.
13:02
Speaker 3: So he's prosecuted.
13:03
Speaker 2: And they have a scapegoat for firing on these people
13:07
Speaker 2: that are protesting or whatever it was. And that's the
13:11
Speaker 2: danger of what we're facing now. And now there's been
13:15
Speaker 2: this change where people are able to go and investigate
13:20
Speaker 2: and say, well, wait a minute, let's pinpoint some of
13:24
Speaker 2: the places, some of the outlets.
13:25
Speaker 3: That specifically did this.
13:26
Speaker 2: And we know that there was a situation with CBS
13:30
Speaker 2: and Kamala Harris where they edited an interview with her
13:33
Speaker 2: to make her sound more competent than she was and
13:35
Speaker 2: it was to try to help her win the election.
13:38
Speaker 2: It's part of why CBS had fines. It's part of
13:42
Speaker 2: why now they've got Barry Weiss running the news department
13:47
Speaker 2: over there, because they put someone who's a conservative or
13:51
Speaker 2: more conservative certainly than what they had, but a conservative
13:54
Speaker 2: in there, and it's made a big change for where
13:57
Speaker 2: CBS is headed. Tim Davey, who was the director General
14:02
Speaker 2: of the BBC, has basically admitted that you know, stepping down,
14:12
Speaker 2: that mistakes were made. That's that's basically like, that's the
14:16
Speaker 2: most generic and he wasn't the only one.
14:20
Speaker 3: Actually, also.
14:23
Speaker 2: One of the news chiefs they're also stepped down in
14:27
Speaker 2: all of this, and basically they took out There was
14:32
Speaker 2: a part where Trump said I know that everyone here
14:33
Speaker 2: will assume me marching over to the Capitol Building to
14:36
Speaker 2: peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard, but it was
14:42
Speaker 2: edited to basically say march walk over to the Capitol
14:45
Speaker 2: Building and fight like hell. So it was it was
14:51
Speaker 2: definitely designed and presented in a way that the people
14:55
Speaker 2: who got that information thought, well, wait a minute, Trump
14:57
Speaker 2: is telling them to go over there and fight. In
15:01
Speaker 2: the letter to staff, Davy said that the decision to
15:05
Speaker 2: quit was his decision. He says, over all, the BBC's
15:09
Speaker 2: delivering well, but there have been some mistakes made and
15:12
Speaker 2: as director General, I have to take the ultimate responsibility.
15:16
Speaker 3: And he said that he's.
15:18
Speaker 2: Working through exact timings with the board to allow for
15:21
Speaker 2: an orderly transition to a success for in the successor
15:24
Speaker 2: in the coming months. So and then the head of
15:30
Speaker 2: the I guess current Affairs is the other person. So
15:37
Speaker 2: I'm trying to find out. I've got Trump's clip as well. Yeah,
15:40
Speaker 2: Trump's reaction, He says. The top people in the BBC,
15:43
Speaker 2: including Tim Davy, the boss, are all quitting slash fired
15:47
Speaker 2: because they were caught doctoring my very good, perfect speech
15:51
Speaker 2: on January sixth. Thank you to the Telegraph for exposing
15:55
Speaker 2: these corrupt journalists. They are very dishonest people who try
15:59
Speaker 2: to step on the scales of a presidential election on
16:01
Speaker 2: top of everything else. There from a foreign country, one
16:04
Speaker 2: that may consider our number one out many consider O
16:07
Speaker 2: number one ally, what a terrible thing for democracy. But
16:11
Speaker 2: this is sadly the reality now. And just know that
16:15
Speaker 2: there are people in your life that only got one
16:18
Speaker 2: side of this story, and you may have only gotten
16:22
Speaker 2: you may have seen the speech, and you don't understand
16:25
Speaker 2: why they're saying, well, wait a minute. Trump didn't call
16:28
Speaker 2: for anybody to fight. There was no point where he
16:33
Speaker 2: said that people needed to fight, and they edited this
16:36
Speaker 2: speech to make it sound that way, and it certainly
16:39
Speaker 2: led people to believe that he was in charge of
16:42
Speaker 2: calling for this insurrection. I know people who still believe it.
16:46
Speaker 2: I still know people that believe that Sarah Palin said
16:50
Speaker 2: that she could see Russia from the front porch of
16:52
Speaker 2: her house, and that was a sketch on Saturday Night Live.
16:55
Speaker 3: And you know, it.
16:57
Speaker 2: Wasn't even her, It wasn't It was Tina Fey dressed
17:01
Speaker 2: as Sarah Palin saying that line. But I know people
17:04
Speaker 2: who still think that she said it. And there's people
17:07
Speaker 2: that will think forever what they want to think about Trump,
17:10
Speaker 2: which is that he said this because it's what was
17:13
Speaker 2: presented to them. Caroline Levitt talked with the Telegraphs and
17:20
Speaker 2: she said, this purposely dishonest, selectively edited clip by the
17:25
Speaker 2: BBC is further evidence that they are total, one hundred
17:28
Speaker 2: percent fake news that should no longer be worth the
17:30
Speaker 2: time on the television screens of the great people of
17:34
Speaker 2: the United Kingdom and she called them a propaganda machine.
17:39
Speaker 2: Just know this, when you have media outlets that are
17:41
Speaker 2: only presenting one side. And I'm now coming back over
17:45
Speaker 2: here across the pond back to the US, and you
17:47
Speaker 2: think about what's happened with public broadcasting and you know,
17:51
Speaker 2: with DOGE and cutting funding for them, federal funding for them.
17:56
Speaker 2: It's that reality of if you're only presenting one side,
17:59
Speaker 2: or you're only present ending a narrative in order to
18:01
Speaker 2: convince people that your side is right and it's the
18:06
Speaker 2: only perspective that anyone should have, and then you ask
18:10
Speaker 2: for federal funding, it's absurd, and especially if you're asking
18:14
Speaker 2: for it after its exposures of things that took place
18:19
Speaker 2: behind the scenes. And again i'm talking about here in
18:23
Speaker 2: the US, this has been an ongoing thing that has
18:26
Speaker 2: been discussed and it's very sensitive.
18:28
Speaker 3: For a lot of people.
18:29
Speaker 2: There's people who love public broadcasting and they're finding ways
18:33
Speaker 2: to keep the lights on, and that's what they should
18:34
Speaker 2: have been doing the whole time. If you remember, you
18:37
Speaker 2: go back years ago, you go back to the Clinton
18:40
Speaker 2: administration when there were discussions then Gingrich's Speaker of the
18:45
Speaker 2: House was saying, why are we funding public broadcasting. When
18:49
Speaker 2: Sesame Street they sell enough tickle Me almos to fund
18:52
Speaker 2: it five times over, why are we paying for them
18:55
Speaker 2: to make that profit? From that sense that people said, oh,
18:59
Speaker 2: Republic want to cancel Sesame Street, in reality, he was
19:04
Speaker 2: making a great point. Why are we federally funding them
19:07
Speaker 2: when they can fund themselves and do just fine. Years ago,
19:11
Speaker 2: Jill and I were talking about the fact that when
19:14
Speaker 2: you make a purchase for something that you're going to
19:16
Speaker 2: use every single day and for many hours every single day,
19:22
Speaker 2: it's worth making sure that you purchase something that's high
19:25
Speaker 2: quality and it's something that's going to last for a
19:28
Speaker 2: really long time. And one of those things that we
19:30
Speaker 2: focused on was bed sheets and bedding, because you spend
19:35
Speaker 2: at least a third of every day in your bed
19:39
Speaker 2: eight hours a day or so, maybe six to seven.
19:43
Speaker 2: It depends on how much you sleep, but you might
19:45
Speaker 2: spend about eight hours a day in the bed, and
19:47
Speaker 2: you want the sheets to feel nice. You want them
19:51
Speaker 2: to last a really long time, because that's the other thing.
19:53
Speaker 2: When you get a nice set of sheets, you want
19:55
Speaker 2: them to last a really long time. Well, let's talk
19:58
Speaker 2: about Cozy Earth. The folks at Cozy Earth have their
20:01
Speaker 2: bamboo sheet sets. They're cooling, they're comfortable, and they have
20:05
Speaker 2: an unparalleled softness and they've got thousands of five star
20:10
Speaker 2: reviews for their products. And not only are we talking
20:15
Speaker 2: about bed sheets, we're also talking about other bedding. We're
20:18
Speaker 2: talking about pajamas. Yes, we're in that time of year
20:22
Speaker 2: where people want to get their pajamas so they can
20:25
Speaker 2: have their Christmas pajama photos maybe for their Christmas cards.

20:36

23:10
Speaker 2: Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
23:13
Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
23:19
Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
23:23
Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
23:26
Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
23:29
Speaker 2: squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you
23:32
Speaker 2: can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
23:35
Speaker 2: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
23:38
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
23:41
Speaker 2: to be, and you need some repair work done to
23:43
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
23:46
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
23:50
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
23:53
Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
23:57
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
24:00
Speaker 3: You're looking at a.
24:00
Speaker 2: Situation where you'd like to add a screen door to
24:03
Speaker 2: your garage door system that you can put down and
24:06
Speaker 2: you can use your garage space as a sort.
24:09
Speaker 3: Of outdoor but indoor.
24:11
Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
24:13
Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
24:15
Speaker 2: man cavid. You'd like to be able to open the
24:17
Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
24:20
Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
24:22
Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
24:25
Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
24:28
Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
24:31
Speaker 2: and they do those as well. Seven oh six thy

Speaker 2: five eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five
24:37
Speaker 2: eight forty five hundred O. Dccolumbus dot com more West
24:42
Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show right after the break. So last week
24:54
Speaker 2: we talked about the Starbucks Bear Cup whatever it is.
25:02
Speaker 2: It's basically a They call it the barrista barrista.
25:08
Speaker 3: That's one of those words. I don't like. Barrista. I
25:11
Speaker 3: guess is the right way barista.
25:13
Speaker 2: But it's the bear Easta and it's it's a basically
25:16
Speaker 2: it's a glass mug, glass cup or whatever it is.
25:20
Speaker 2: And he's like wearing a beanie and it's a teddy bear.
25:23
Speaker 2: And this was like the big kickoff of all the
25:26
Speaker 2: holiday stuff for Starbucks, right, And he's a bear Easta,
25:32
Speaker 2: that's what he is. And they fill it with their
25:34
Speaker 2: coffees or whatever they put in there. I don't know
25:37
Speaker 2: what they fill it with. They fill it with butterscotch, candy,
25:41
Speaker 2: whatever you put whatever in it you want. They sell
25:44
Speaker 2: it with coffee in it and or some of those
25:47
Speaker 2: drinks that aren't really coffee. But it's like a milkshake
25:49
Speaker 2: and that's it's just like a sweet milk and you
25:52
Speaker 2: put ice.
25:53
Speaker 3: And then that's the drink. Whatever you want in it.
25:55
Speaker 3: I guess. I don't know.
25:57
Speaker 2: Good time the last time I went to Starbucks, I
25:59
Speaker 2: think it I don't know that I've been to a Starbucks.
26:03
Speaker 2: I was gonna say since I had kids, but I
26:05
Speaker 2: have been since then, but not maybe twice total, because
26:09
Speaker 2: someone else said, hey, let's meet at Starbucks for and
26:13
Speaker 2: I tried to get them to go somewhere else, and
26:14
Speaker 2: that's where they wanted to go anyway, because some people
26:17
Speaker 2: are very loyal, They're brand loyal to that Starbucks, all right,
26:21
Speaker 2: So they're selling the things and then people are buying
26:24
Speaker 2: them up and then putting them online for like three
26:26
Speaker 2: hundred bucks apiece, and I think they go for like
26:28
Speaker 2: twenty five bucks or something like that somewhere around that.
26:34
Speaker 2: So I guess there are people that have been hearing
26:36
Speaker 2: about it and then going into the stores and finding
26:40
Speaker 2: out that they're all gone. And customers have been accusing
26:43
Speaker 2: the employees and the stores of actually buying up the
26:46
Speaker 2: cups before the store is even open and then not
26:49
Speaker 2: making any available to the public. I guess videos have
26:52
Speaker 2: gone viral of people, you know, screaming and yelling and
26:55
Speaker 2: absolute chaos over a cup that looks like a Teddy Bear.
27:00
Speaker 2: Cute little cups. They're neat little cups. I get it.
27:02
Speaker 2: It's I can understand why people would want them. But
27:05
Speaker 2: if it's that important to you and you're willing to
27:10
Speaker 2: pay the three hundred bucks to get them, I mean,
27:12
Speaker 2: that's how it goes sometimes. But if the employees in
27:16
Speaker 2: the store are buying them up, that seems like that's
27:18
Speaker 2: a Starbucks policy problem. I don't know that they should
27:21
Speaker 2: be allowed to do that. That doesn't seem fair if
27:24
Speaker 2: they're going to have these collectible or you need to
27:26
Speaker 2: make more of the cups because if you've got a
27:28
Speaker 2: limited number and you're just creating this mad rush and
27:31
Speaker 2: there's no way for people to get their hands on them.
27:33
Speaker 2: But anyway, it doesn't seem right, all right. Holidays this
27:37
Speaker 2: time of year really boiled down to tradition in so
27:40
Speaker 2: many ways, especially when it comes to Thanksgiving and menus.
27:45
Speaker 2: A survey done by Genio found that fifty five percent
27:48
Speaker 2: of those who responded said that they have a Thanksgiving
27:51
Speaker 2: recipe that's been passed down through generations. Over half of
27:56
Speaker 2: those treasured recipes are more than twenty five years old,
27:59
Speaker 2: So not a big surprise I think with that. I
28:03
Speaker 2: told you last week about some of the businesses that
28:05
Speaker 2: are doing special deals when it comes to getting Thanksgiving
28:09
Speaker 2: on the cheap, and people are looking for those. I've
28:11
Speaker 2: seen a few people talking about Aldi as a place
28:14
Speaker 2: where you can get very discounted Thanksgiving stuff, and I
28:17
Speaker 2: saw some of that stuff over the weekend when I
28:19
Speaker 2: was in their shopping well. Target has now joined the
28:22
Speaker 2: list of retailers that are offering a discounted Thanksgiving meal.
28:26
Speaker 2: They are Thanksgiving Bundle, priced at under twenty dollars this year,
28:30
Speaker 2: calling it their lowest price ever and it will.
28:34
Speaker 3: Feed four people.
28:35
Speaker 2: The bundle includes frozen turkey up to ten pounds, five
28:38
Speaker 2: pounds of rust potatoes, ocean spray, jellied cranberry sauce, stove
28:44
Speaker 2: top stuffing mix, Heinz turkey gravy, French bread, and a
28:47
Speaker 2: bag of frozen corn. Plus you can grab other seasonal
28:51
Speaker 2: sides and pies for four ninety nine each between November
28:55
Speaker 2: sixteenth and the twenty ninth. That's if all the Starbucks
28:58
Speaker 2: employees haven't bought them all up, because you want to
29:01
Speaker 2: get the deal with the Starbucks people. And I know
29:04
Speaker 2: some targets have a Starbucks in there, eh. You see
29:08
Speaker 2: where I'm going with this, Maybe they run over grab
29:11
Speaker 2: up all the pies and sides and turkeys and you're
29:15
Speaker 2: just going to have to pay three hundred bucks for
29:17
Speaker 2: them on eBay.
29:18
Speaker 3: That's the way it could work.
29:19
Speaker 2: Man.
29:20
Speaker 3: Just prepare yourself Accordingly.
29:23
Speaker 2: Longtime married couples always asked to share their secret to
29:25
Speaker 2: a happy marriage. Perhaps there's no one better to ask
29:28
Speaker 2: than Eleanor and Lyle Gittons of Miami, who have been
29:32
Speaker 2: crowned the oldest married couple and the longest married couple
29:35
Speaker 2: by the folks at Guinness World Records. Eleanor is one
29:38
Speaker 2: hundred and seven, Lyle is one hundred and eight. They've
29:40
Speaker 2: been married for over eighty three years. When asked what
29:45
Speaker 2: the secret is behind their longevity, Eleanor said, we just melded.
29:49
Speaker 2: We love each other, Lyle adding I love my wife.
29:51
Speaker 3: It's simple.
29:52
Speaker 2: But there's something else that might help.
29:55
Speaker 3: Alcohol.
29:57
Speaker 2: Eleanor and Lyle begin a nightly ritual of having a dream.
30:00
Speaker 3: I think usually a martini.
30:01
Speaker 2: Way back in the fifties, they're still doing it, only
30:04
Speaker 2: now it's either a beer or a red wine with
30:08
Speaker 2: their lunch. Well, we're now into holiday shopping season, and
30:12
Speaker 2: I have some good news for you. If there's someone
