Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, nineteenth day of February. I'm West Thanks for
- 0:14Speaker 2: joining me. Talked about this on another podcast. Didn't really
- 0:19Speaker 2: get into it much on this show yesterday. I don't
- 0:22Speaker 2: think sometimes they run together. I do seven shows a week,
- 0:26Speaker 2: well there's not a holiday. When we had a holiday,
- 0:30Speaker 2: didn't do the show Monday morning, but did a show
- 0:35Speaker 2: Monday evening, which is the normal scheduling for that podcast.
- 0:40Speaker 2: And talked a little bit then about the SNL fiftieth anniversary.
- 0:46Speaker 2: And I don't think I really addressed it here yesterday,
- 0:49Speaker 2: but just a couple of thoughts because I've seen a
- 0:51Speaker 2: little bit of commentary on it.
- 0:53Speaker 3: First of all, the people who raved.
- 0:54Speaker 2: About how great it was. I don't know what you watch.
- 0:56Speaker 2: I don't know what you watched. It had to be
- 0:59Speaker 2: a different thing altogether.
- 1:01Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:02Speaker 2: There was nothing great or spectacular or fabulous about it.
- 1:07Speaker 2: I realize this is, you know, just opinion, but there's
- 1:12Speaker 2: also you know, sometimes you watch a movie and you go,
- 1:15Speaker 2: I don't understand what people like about this. It's terrible
- 1:18Speaker 2: it wasn't good. There were a couple of standout moments
- 1:21Speaker 2: in it. Now I didn't finish the whole thing. Maybe
- 1:23Speaker 2: by the last hour of it it got better. I
- 1:26Speaker 2: doubt it. But I remember the fortieth anniversary for SNL,
- 1:32Speaker 2: they did a much better job, a much better job
- 1:37Speaker 2: with I think it was forty. I think it was
- 1:39Speaker 2: the year forty, And I remember, like, didn't they do
- 1:42Speaker 2: one for twenty five as well? But anyway, not good.
- 1:48Speaker 2: It was just like forcing everybody to watch a three
- 1:50Speaker 2: hour episode of the current cast. And I know they say,
- 1:55Speaker 2: this is what they all say when people complain about
- 1:58Speaker 2: the cast, and they say the show is not very
- 2:00Speaker 2: good and hasn't been good for a while, and they
- 2:03Speaker 2: say that people connect. This is I think what even LORDE.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Michael says about the show. People connect with the cast
- 2:10Speaker 2: that was there when they first started watching the show,
- 2:14Speaker 2: and that's why they always think of that particular cast
- 2:19Speaker 2: as being the best.
- 2:23Speaker 3: Look.
- 2:24Speaker 2: There are a number of casts over the years that
- 2:27Speaker 2: were very good. I mean when I started watching, if
- 2:30Speaker 2: you want to talk about my era of watching, it
- 2:33Speaker 2: was Dana Carvey, it was Dennis Miller, John Lovett's. It
- 2:39Speaker 2: was some of those guys and I like those and
- 2:41Speaker 2: Kevin Neeland, I like those guys. I do Jan Hooks.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Phil Hartman. I think Phil Hartman is the greatest cast
- 2:48Speaker 2: member in the history of the show, largely because he
- 2:53Speaker 2: was in so many sketches, often at cast as a
- 2:57Speaker 2: straight man, but could handle his own with comment and
- 3:01Speaker 2: I think he's the best cast member they ever had.
- 3:04Speaker 2: And I thought it was nice, and there was a
- 3:05Speaker 2: moment in the antivert. One of the high points of
- 3:09Speaker 2: this fiftieth anniversary show was Adam Sandler, who did a
- 3:13Speaker 2: song and spotlighted some of the people behind the scenes,
- 3:18Speaker 2: including I guess the on site nurse that takes care
- 3:21Speaker 2: of him, which I thought that was nice to see
- 3:23Speaker 2: a few people get a little bit of screen time.
- 3:26Speaker 2: But he referenced some of the runs that people had
- 3:29Speaker 2: on the show as far as well, I realized runs
- 3:32Speaker 2: and nurse, it's not their time on the show, runs
- 3:36Speaker 2: all right.
- 3:36Speaker 3: Grow up.
- 3:38Speaker 2: But he spotlighted Phil Hartman, you know who, some of
- 3:43Speaker 2: the cast members who had passed, and he referenced Phil
- 3:46Speaker 2: Hartman and called him the glue, and I thought that's
- 3:49Speaker 2: and I didn't realize that's what the SNL people call him.
- 3:52Speaker 2: But that's a very appropriate term for what Phil Hartman was.
- 3:55Speaker 3: He was just great.
- 3:58Speaker 2: But with that's that first cast was amazing. I remember
- 4:04Speaker 2: as a as a young kid watching the years when
- 4:06Speaker 2: you had Billy Crystal and Eddie Murphy there, great, right,
- 4:11Speaker 2: I really really liked you know, you get into the
- 4:14Speaker 2: Sandler in Farley years.
- 4:16Speaker 3: Those were great.
- 4:16Speaker 2: Norm MacDonald I think is the best person that ever
- 4:20Speaker 2: did Weekend Update, and I don't think it's even close.
- 4:25Speaker 2: You know, by the time Will Ferrell got in there,
- 4:28Speaker 2: and in that cast, there were some really great cast
- 4:32Speaker 2: members in that stretch, and then after that it kind
- 4:34Speaker 2: of dropped off. There were some good cast members in there,
- 4:37Speaker 2: but you'd watch the show and you'd go, am, I
- 4:39Speaker 2: watching is this supposed to be funny? Or they had ideas?
- 4:43Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 4:44Speaker 2: And then a couple of seasons, you know, more recently
- 4:47Speaker 2: they've had a few like Nate Burgatsi has hosted a
- 4:51Speaker 2: couple of times, and he's really good, and some of
- 4:53Speaker 2: the sketches he's been in have been great. It's hit
- 4:56Speaker 2: or miss. Often it's just you know, very slanted to
- 5:01Speaker 2: the left, which you kind of expect.
- 5:03Speaker 3: It didn't it was not always that way.
- 5:05Speaker 2: But it became that way, and that just sort of
- 5:08Speaker 2: became the way that the show worked, and that didn't
- 5:11Speaker 2: interest me a lot of the late night talk shows.
- 5:14Speaker 2: I don't need to watch some variation of The Daily
- 5:18Speaker 2: Show an attempt at trying to do the Daily Show
- 5:20Speaker 2: in late night TV. I don't need to see that
- 5:24Speaker 2: Daily Show can be funny. I've been in the audience
- 5:26Speaker 2: in The Daily Show a couple of times, like while
- 5:30Speaker 2: I was in New York, and you know, I had
- 5:31Speaker 2: a good time in studio. But let's be honest there
- 5:34Speaker 2: it's a political show. It's intended to shape how you
- 5:39Speaker 2: think and feel about things. Since SNL has certainly done
- 5:42Speaker 2: that as well. Sandler was great. There was a sketch
- 5:46Speaker 2: they did where they did what they call it black Jeopardy,
- 5:51Speaker 2: and the beginning of the sketch had Tracy Morgan was
- 5:56Speaker 2: one of the contestants playing a character, and then Eddie
- 6:00Speaker 2: Murphy was there playing Tracy Morgan. That was pretty funny,
- 6:04Speaker 2: and then for some reason, like there was just a
- 6:07Speaker 2: lot of confusing with the way it was written, but
- 6:10Speaker 2: Eddie Murphy stepped out, Tom Hank stepped in playing a
- 6:13Speaker 2: maga guy and it was a throwback to something that
- 6:16Speaker 2: they had done before, which was kind of funny the
- 6:19Speaker 2: first time.
- 6:19Speaker 3: It wasn't funny this time.
- 6:21Speaker 2: I've seen a few comments about, oh, outraged Republicans are
- 6:26Speaker 2: mad about the portrayal of Magas. I think it's one
- 6:30Speaker 2: of those things where the first time they did it
- 6:32Speaker 2: it was funny because it was probably closer to true.
- 6:35Speaker 3: Now it's not.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Now that you've got black Americans and Hispanic Americans and
- 6:41Speaker 2: you know, just lots of people voting for Trump in
- 6:45Speaker 2: this election. I think they're missing the mark completely. But
- 6:47Speaker 2: I think it was probably more that than outrage. But anyway,
- 6:51Speaker 2: it wasn't very good. It really wasn't. If you get
- 6:54Speaker 2: a chance. The Sandler thing was nice. That was a
- 6:57Speaker 2: very nice and Jack Nicholson was there for that. He
- 6:59Speaker 2: doesn't out much anymore. He's eighty seven, and he introduced Sandler,
- 7:04Speaker 2: which was nice. And they're they're obviously they work together
- 7:08Speaker 2: on anger management, and I guess they're still friends, still close.
- 7:13Speaker 2: So anyway, all right, so off with that, and let's
- 7:16Speaker 2: move on to the next thing. Speaking of outrage, this
- 7:20Speaker 2: one's bugging me, and it's been bugging me for a
- 7:22Speaker 2: few days now, and I thought I need to get
- 7:24Speaker 2: to this, and I've seen a few people addressing this.
- 7:28Speaker 2: So there's this the students that have a five oh
- 7:34Speaker 2: four plan section five oh four what it's called, when
- 7:36Speaker 2: you've got children that have a medical reason for some
- 7:40Speaker 2: sort of special plan when it comes to their education.
- 7:44Speaker 2: I don't have a lot of experience with this directly, right,
- 7:48Speaker 2: we don't. My children don't have a five o four plan.
- 7:51Speaker 2: I know some kids that do. I know some kids
- 7:54Speaker 2: that have the i EPs or what they're called. I
- 7:59Speaker 2: understand that there is a lot of concern when it
- 8:04Speaker 2: comes to kids that have special needs when it comes
- 8:08Speaker 2: to their education.
- 8:09Speaker 3: I get it.
- 8:10Speaker 2: I understand during the end of the Biden administration, at
- 8:15Speaker 2: some point they decided that they wanted to categorize transgender
- 8:20Speaker 2: kids as being someone who would need a five h
- 8:26Speaker 2: four plan for their education. And there are several states
- 8:31Speaker 2: that are fighting that. They're filed a suit against it.
- 8:34Speaker 2: They're saying that we don't want gender what is it,
- 8:44Speaker 2: gender dysphoria to be considered something that would call That's
- 8:48Speaker 2: not the same as autism, that's not the same as
- 8:54Speaker 2: a down syndrome, that's not the same as some of
- 8:57Speaker 2: the special needs that fall under this category. So that's
- 9:03Speaker 2: what the lawsuit is about. It's about saying we don't
- 9:07Speaker 2: want to count gender dysphoria in this category. I've seen
- 9:12Speaker 2: a few people commenting on this, and it's very disingenuous
- 9:18Speaker 2: because what they're trying to tell everyone and scare everyone
- 9:21Speaker 2: into thinking, is that all of the five oh four
- 9:26Speaker 2: plans are going to go away. That's what they're trying
- 9:30Speaker 2: to take away. I've seen this post in a couple
- 9:34Speaker 2: of places, and I'm not going to It doesn't say
- 9:36Speaker 2: in this version of it i'm reading now who wrote
- 9:39Speaker 2: it originally, so I can't directly attribute the original writer.
- 9:45Speaker 2: The original author says, any family with children in public
- 9:49Speaker 2: school is detrimentally affected by this section. Five O four
- 9:52Speaker 2: plans protect kids with asthma, epilepsy, ADHD, food allergies, diabetes,
- 9:56Speaker 2: just to name a few. Maybe your child doesn't have
- 10:00Speaker 2: any of these health issues, but they break their leg
- 10:03Speaker 2: playing football, a five or four plan is put in
- 10:05Speaker 2: place to make sure their temporary disability does not prohibit
- 10:08Speaker 2: them from learning in their standard classroom. Of all the
- 10:13Speaker 2: places to cut funding, our children and their teachers shouldn't
- 10:16Speaker 2: be first victims. And it's encouraging people to call Georgia
- 10:22Speaker 2: Attorney General Chris Carr's office and demand the state drop
- 10:25Speaker 2: out of the case. It also points out that Chris
- 10:29Speaker 2: Carr is planning to run for governor. I don't know
- 10:32Speaker 2: if that ever officially became I know there was a
- 10:34Speaker 2: talk about that, but in twenty twenty six hashtags save
- 10:38Speaker 2: the children.
- 10:39Speaker 3: It's the way this is written.
- 10:40Speaker 2: It's got a picture of him and it's got his
- 10:42Speaker 2: phone number and telling people to call. The reality here
- 10:47Speaker 2: is no, this is not what's happening. It's about genders
- 10:51Speaker 2: for you, none of these things that were addressed in this.
- 10:54Speaker 2: So in reality, what we're talking about is is an
- 11:01Speaker 2: attempt at trying to take the governor's office. I mean,
- 11:04Speaker 2: that's what we're really talking about here, and trying to
- 11:08Speaker 2: scare people ooh, the mean scary Republicans are trying to
- 11:10Speaker 2: mess up your childcare for your kids in the classroom.
- 11:15Speaker 2: And that's not what's happening. And that's not what's happening
- 11:17Speaker 2: in all these other twenty plus whatever it is states
- 11:20Speaker 2: involved in this, it's about trying to take away something
- 11:24Speaker 2: that I think most of the country, and in Georgia,
- 11:27Speaker 2: it was addressed that lawmakers it's not what they want,
- 11:34Speaker 2: it's not what is believed. Karen Murray, spokesperson for CAR,
- 11:41Speaker 2: addresses the original lawsuit and talks about the gender dysphour
- 11:47Speaker 2: year rule, saying, any information this is a statement that
- 11:51Speaker 2: was released. Any information to the contrary. It's false, fraudulent,
- 11:54Speaker 2: and deliberate misrepresentation of the central argument of the case,
- 11:59Speaker 2: and it's being spread in nationally by partisan political groups
- 12:02Speaker 2: out of California. It's reprehensible that a political organization would
- 12:06Speaker 2: cherry pick language from a lawsuit and take it out
- 12:09Speaker 2: of context to deliberately scare families with children receiving five
- 12:13Speaker 2: oh four program benefits. Now, yes, I agree with that
- 12:19Speaker 2: sentiment completely. That is a shame. Well makes it worse.
- 12:24Speaker 2: I'm looking at the states involved. I think I overstated
- 12:28Speaker 2: how many there are. Texas, Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska,
- 12:37Speaker 2: South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, and West Virginia are the
- 12:42Speaker 2: states in this particular case, at least at the time
- 12:45Speaker 2: of this filing this document back in September when this started.
- 12:51Speaker 2: So this is what gets me. You can point out
- 12:54Speaker 2: to someone who's trying to make this case on behalf
- 12:57Speaker 2: of this California organization and spreading the law and when
- 13:01Speaker 2: you point out, no, no, no, that's not what this
- 13:03Speaker 2: is about. This is about gender dysphoria. And this is
- 13:08Speaker 2: one of the things about social media that gets me.
- 13:10Speaker 2: And this is where you start having these situations where
- 13:13Speaker 2: one side can't just control the narrative and you have
- 13:16Speaker 2: to have some because where are the fact checkers?
- 13:19Speaker 1: Right?
- 13:19Speaker 2: Where's the fact checking behind this? If this were the
- 13:22Speaker 2: other way and this were I guess prior to the
- 13:26Speaker 2: Trump second win and being sworn in, this would be
- 13:30Speaker 2: shut down, man, this would be locked down. Fact check.
- 13:34Speaker 3: No, this isn't true.
- 13:37Speaker 2: It's not it's not true. And the people that are
- 13:40Speaker 2: having it pointed out to them were saying, yeah, but
- 13:42Speaker 2: you know, it's a slippery slope. Once they take away
- 13:46Speaker 2: this one, they'll start taking away the others. It's this
- 13:50Speaker 2: very specific lawsuit addressing one specific aspect of it that
- 13:55Speaker 2: was pushed through by an administration that was on the
- 13:57Speaker 2: way out the door. They were a roll at the time.
- 14:02Speaker 2: This was, I guess, filed in September, so this wasn't
- 14:05Speaker 2: even officially a This was May twenty twenty four when
- 14:12Speaker 2: this came in, trying to add it to the It's
- 14:15Speaker 2: the section five afore Rehabilitation Act of nineteen seventy three
- 14:20Speaker 2: accommodations for disabilities to receive federal funding. So trying to
- 14:26Speaker 2: push something through that many lawmakers in Georgia. Folks in
- 14:33Speaker 2: Georgia say, no, this is not this is not what
- 14:37Speaker 2: we want, and this is happening in all of these
- 14:40Speaker 2: other states. I said twenty, but it's not twenty. So
- 14:46Speaker 2: just take a minute. Take a breath. Take a breath
- 14:49Speaker 2: when you read something like this. Where has our ability
- 14:53Speaker 2: gone to actually fact check something? The first moment that
- 14:59Speaker 2: I heard of this, and it's been a while, of course,
- 15:01Speaker 2: when I saw it popping back up again now as
- 15:04Speaker 2: they're trying to take away care for kids in schools,
- 15:08Speaker 2: I thought, what are they basing this on? Just a
- 15:11Speaker 2: little research turns up the facts of it, just a
- 15:14Speaker 2: little research. But people are so caught up and they
- 15:16Speaker 2: want to be right, they want to get on their
- 15:20Speaker 2: high horse. This is one of those things where if
- 15:24Speaker 2: this were you know, if we were seeing this kind
- 15:27Speaker 2: of thing playing out in public, right, if we were
- 15:32Speaker 2: seeing someone concerned about something that was about to happen,
- 15:38Speaker 2: or something that was happening to them personally in a business,
- 15:41Speaker 2: and it was a woman, and she walked up and
- 15:43Speaker 2: talked to the manager about it. They'd call her a Karen, right,
- 15:47Speaker 2: they think they would jump they would say, oh, she's
- 15:49Speaker 2: a Karen. I've voiced on here many times. I don't
- 15:51Speaker 2: like the Karen thing. First of all, I got a
- 15:54Speaker 2: relative named Karen greatly affected by all this. She's not impressed.
- 15:58Speaker 2: She is not impressed and shouldn't be. She's thought about
- 16:02Speaker 2: going by a different name. She was so fed up
- 16:05Speaker 2: with the Karen stuff.
- 16:08Speaker 3: I did see.
- 16:09Speaker 2: The comedian Jeff Die, by the way, has a great
- 16:11Speaker 2: bit about it. I think we're on the wrong side
- 16:13Speaker 2: on this Karen thing. I think they're probably right. That's
- 16:16Speaker 2: what I've been saying. I've been screaming that, yes they are.
- 16:21Speaker 2: Anything that tells women that they should shut up and
- 16:24Speaker 2: not have an opinion about something, I don't like it.
- 16:26Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of it. I don't know why
- 16:28Speaker 2: the left is. I don't understand. And as Jeff Die
- 16:32Speaker 2: points out, he's like you can see a store, you know,
- 16:38Speaker 2: with like fifty people robbing it and just busting out
- 16:41Speaker 2: and stealing TVs, and people will say, we have.
- 16:45Speaker 3: To understand why they feel the need to steal the TVs.
- 16:48Speaker 2: He's like, we're more. We're much more forgiving of those things.
- 16:53Speaker 2: But a woman gets her food and it's cold or
- 16:55Speaker 2: they didn't get the order right, and she wants to
- 16:56Speaker 2: see a manager.
- 16:57Speaker 3: And we're like, yeah, she's terrible. He's right, he's right.
- 17:03Speaker 2: And our inability to just do a little bit of research,
- 17:05Speaker 2: just a little bit of homework before we feel like
- 17:08Speaker 2: we have to reshare it and we have to repost
- 17:09Speaker 2: it now. Don't get me wrong. This in the great
- 17:12Speaker 2: scheme of things. Other than giving me some material for
- 17:16Speaker 2: the show today, I just do what I always do.
- 17:19Speaker 2: I just unfollow the person. If it's someone that I'm
- 17:22Speaker 2: friends with, you just unfollow that. I don't want to
- 17:24Speaker 2: see it if you're not going to put that effort in.
- 17:27Speaker 2: If I'm posting something that's easily provable that it's not true,
- 17:34Speaker 2: let me know, or I can't get my feelings hurt
- 17:37Speaker 2: if you decide to unfollow me. Right, spreading false information
- 17:43Speaker 2: for no reason other than helping some political group try
- 17:46Speaker 2: to make sure Stacy Abrams gets another run at governor
- 17:49Speaker 2: because really, what this kind of is all about ultimately
- 17:52Speaker 2: is bashing the Republicans and trying to point out Attorney
- 17:57Speaker 2: General Chris Carr wants to be governor.
- 18:00Speaker 3: He's gonna do this to our kids.
- 18:03Speaker 2: And when they don't take it away from the kids,
- 18:05Speaker 2: anything other than the gender dysphoria, nobody's gonna come back
- 18:10Speaker 2: and take it back. They're just gonna keep saying, well,
- 18:12Speaker 2: remember when he was trying to do that, and it
- 18:16Speaker 2: still won't be true then either. Today's show brought to
- 18:18Speaker 2: you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center,
- 18:22Speaker 2: inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and
- 18:28Speaker 2: STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean,
- 18:32Speaker 2: they do it for school age kids as school age
- 18:35Speaker 2: kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they
- 18:38Speaker 2: also do it through their university programs where you can
- 18:41Speaker 2: learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and
- 18:47Speaker 2: STEM fields are booming right now, and you can learn
- 18:50Speaker 2: more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC
- 18:57Speaker 2: dot org. While you're there, also check out some of
- 19:01Speaker 2: their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they
- 19:06Speaker 2: do with the Schwobe School of Music from Columbus State
- 19:08Speaker 2: University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert
- 19:12Speaker 2: experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of
- 19:15Speaker 2: those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
- 19:18Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
- 19:21Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
- 19:27Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
- 19:31Speaker 2: Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome.

- 20:09Speaker 3: Today's show brought to you by.
- 20:11Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage
- 20:14Speaker 2: door needs commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
- 20:20Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
- 20:23Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
- 20:27Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
- 20:31Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
- 20:33Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
- 20:36Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 20:39Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 20:42Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 20:45Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 20:47Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 20:51Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
- 20:54Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 20:58Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's in convenient. Maybe you're
- 21:01Speaker 2: looking at a situation where you'd like to add a
- 21:03Speaker 2: screen door to your garage door system that you can
- 21:07Speaker 2: put down and you can use your garage space as
- 21:10Speaker 2: a sort.
- 21:11Speaker 3: Of outdoor but indoor.
- 21:12Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
- 21:14Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 21:17Speaker 2: man cavid. You'd like to be able to open the
- 21:18Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
- 21:21Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
- 21:23Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
- 21:26Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
- 21:29Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
- 21:33Speaker 2: and they do those as well. Seven oh six thtory

- 21:43Speaker 3: West Carol Morning Show.
- 21:44Speaker 2: Right after the break, Hey, Selena Gomez bought a thirty
- 21:56Speaker 2: five million dollar house. It's like a month since she
- 22:00Speaker 2: cried and said she wished she knew what she could
- 22:01Speaker 2: do to help people that were in the country being deported.
- 22:08Speaker 3: Just a month.
- 22:09Speaker 2: I mean, maybe like a five million dollar house and
- 22:12Speaker 2: put thirty million towards helping those people. I mean, I'm
- 22:15Speaker 2: just I'm trying to offer up suggestions. It's always fun
- 22:19Speaker 2: to me when celebrities, I wish there was something.
- 22:21Speaker 3: I could do.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Well, you know, maybe you live in a I don't
- 22:25Speaker 2: get me wrong, I'm very much a free market person.
- 22:28Speaker 2: She should live in whatever house she wants. I'm just
- 22:31Speaker 2: trying to offer a suggestion. If she's really looking for
- 22:33Speaker 2: things that maybe she could do to help if she actually,
- 22:37Speaker 2: you know, really wants to help. All right, let's let's
- 22:41Speaker 2: talk about dance. The reason that we nod sway tap
- 22:46Speaker 2: our feet to music often unconsciously, our brains are wired
- 22:51Speaker 2: to dance, whether we like the music or not. A
- 22:53Speaker 2: new study out of Canada found that even people with
- 22:58Speaker 2: a condition where they don't get the usual pleasure for
- 23:02Speaker 2: music see if I can say the name of this,
- 23:04Speaker 2: it's musical anhedonia, and those people still have the same
- 23:10Speaker 2: urge to move to the beat. The suggestion is that
- 23:13Speaker 2: a response to rhythm is actually ingrained in her dna.
- 23:18Speaker 2: Kind of a neat thought, and I can buy that.
- 23:21Speaker 2: There's certain things about music that do kind of hit
- 23:24Speaker 2: us sometimes, even on a.
- 23:25Speaker 3: Very spiritual level.
- 23:27Speaker 2: Do you ever see the videos where like a mother
- 23:29Speaker 2: is singing and the baby just starts crying because they're
- 23:33Speaker 2: just overwhelmed by how beautiful it is, And there's something
- 23:37Speaker 2: that's connecting very deep, very personal internally. So I think
- 23:41Speaker 2: it probably has maybe a connection with all that.
- 23:44Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 23:45Speaker 2: Are you a morning person? You happier and healthier than
- 23:51Speaker 2: the folks that you're friends with that are night owls well.
- 23:54Speaker 2: A study from University College London found that people tend
- 23:58Speaker 2: to feel happier or more satisfied with life and have
- 24:01Speaker 2: a stronger sense of self worth early in the day.
- 24:05Speaker 2: Researchers found that people in general feel their best in
- 24:07Speaker 2: the morning and their worst around midnight. I'm going to
- 24:12Speaker 2: offer this and I'm a strong advocate, and I just
- 24:15Speaker 2: had this conversation with someone the other day and they
- 24:17Speaker 2: were talking about making some like personal changes in their life.
- 24:20Speaker 2: And somebody who would often stay up late, and I said,
- 24:25Speaker 2: one of my suggestions for you.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Is maybe don't do that anymore.
- 24:31Speaker 2: Try to reset your day clock, get up a little earlier,
- 24:35Speaker 2: you know, spend some time out in the world when
- 24:38Speaker 2: it's daylight, when the sun is shining. And I do
- 24:43Speaker 2: believe that to be the case. However, I don't know
- 24:48Speaker 2: that I'm happier first thing in the morning. And I
- 24:50Speaker 2: would be I do this. I do this because I
- 24:54Speaker 2: started doing it in radio morning show opened up. It
- 25:00Speaker 2: was the only job I was being offered at the time,
- 25:02Speaker 2: and I said, I'll do it. It was one of
- 25:04Speaker 2: those I'll never do morning radio. It was something I
- 25:07Speaker 2: had declared and it was kind of a what's the
- 25:10Speaker 2: announce in your plans? Is the quickest way to hear
- 25:13Speaker 2: God laugh things? And I took the job. My good
- 25:16Speaker 2: friend Scott Miller called and said, Hey, would you like
- 25:19Speaker 2: to come work with me? And I said absolutely.
- 25:21Speaker 3: It was more about.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Working with him than it was not getting up early
- 25:24Speaker 2: in the morning. But and I remember asking him like,
- 25:27Speaker 2: when when do I get used to this? And he
- 25:29Speaker 2: just laughed. I did gradually get used to it, and
- 25:34Speaker 2: now it's just my routine. And that's why when the
- 25:36Speaker 2: opportunity to do the show every day comes along, you go,
- 25:39Speaker 2: I want to do this. Doesn't mean I'm all happy
- 25:43Speaker 2: the first thing in the morning. It's a lot of
- 25:45Speaker 2: is that meme of that kid who wakes up and
- 25:47Speaker 2: his hair's all messed up and he screams and his
- 25:50Speaker 2: mom says good morning, and he just goes Mern. That's
- 25:53Speaker 2: me most mornings, Just so that you're aware, the Mern
- 25:58Speaker 2: kid is absolutely me most mornings.
- 26:02Speaker 3: So I don't know.
- 26:03Speaker 2: I mean, I think when I'm now, I'm not really
- 26:07Speaker 2: I'm not necessarily a stay up till midnight guy. I
- 26:09Speaker 2: haven't done. I mean occasionally that happens you're watching a
- 26:12Speaker 2: movie or something or it's the weekend. But I don't
- 26:15Speaker 2: know that I'm really happy at midnight. But I'm definitely
- 26:18Speaker 2: happier in the evening than i am first thing in
- 26:21Speaker 2: the morning. And I do this, I hope I'm at
- 26:25Speaker 2: least faking it well that I've learned you. I do coffee,
- 26:29Speaker 2: and I wake up and do this. So but first
- 26:32Speaker 2: thing in the morning, absolutely not. That's not the case
- 26:35Speaker 2: at all. So all right, scientists are programmed a supercomputer
- 26:41Speaker 2: to figure out when humanity will go extinct, And if
- 26:44Speaker 2: the computer is right, we're running out of time. We
- 26:48Speaker 2: only have two hundred and fifty million years left before
- 26:51Speaker 2: consonants smashed together somewhere near the equator and Earth deals
- 26:56Speaker 2: with extreme temperature, suffocating humidity, and increased volcanic activity. I
- 26:59Speaker 2: thought that was to happen in twelve years, that's what
- 27:02Speaker 2: they always say, twelve years, increased volcanic activity and all
- 27:07Speaker 2: those things would make it the most of the planet
- 27:10Speaker 2: uninhabitable for mammals. So two hundred and fifty million years
- 27:14Speaker 2: is all that we have left. Sounds to me like
- 27:18Speaker 2: if this is all gonna happen, all those continents are
- 27:20Speaker 2: going to crash together, and the volcanoes are coming, and
- 27:24Speaker 2: that's gonna happen in two hundred and fifty million years.
- 27:29Speaker 2: You know, send another eighty billion to climate change. I mean,
- 27:33Speaker 2: that's just not related to climate change. So you know,
- 27:38Speaker 2: let's send another eighty billion. That'll fix it, that'll stop it,
- 27:41Speaker 2: that'll save the planet for two hundred and fifty million
- 27:44Speaker 2: years from from now. So I mean, you got to
- 27:48Speaker 2: look ahead to the great, great great.
- 27:50Speaker 3: I can't do that.
- 27:51Speaker 2: It's a lot of grandkids that'll do it. For this
- 27:53Speaker 2: Wednesday edition of the show, thanks to our sponsors and patrons.
