Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Monday morning, fifteenth day of December. I'm West Thanks for
0:14
Speaker 2: joining me kicking off the week together. It is the
0:20
Speaker 2: Monday after for me in many many ways. I told
0:25
Speaker 2: you last week that I was having a week. I
0:30
Speaker 2: was having a rough week. Not rough in the sense
0:34
Speaker 2: of not good, just rough in the sense that it
0:37
Speaker 2: was busy. I had a lot of things on my plate,
0:41
Speaker 2: and I am happy to report on this side of
0:44
Speaker 2: it that I survived. I'm here, i am functional, I'm
0:49
Speaker 2: not nearly as sore as I would have been prior
0:53
Speaker 2: to my next surgery. So there's a few things that
0:57
Speaker 2: I feel like I need to say it this point now,
1:01
Speaker 2: just revisiting and in case you are not fully caught up.
1:05
Speaker 2: Last week for me was tech week for the Nutcracker.
1:11
Speaker 2: We had shows, rehearsals and shows you know in the week,
1:17
Speaker 2: and then into Friday night show, Saturday show, Sunday show,
1:21
Speaker 2: and we wrapped yesterday and also Thursday night and Friday
1:29
Speaker 2: all day I had Columbus State graduation. So just to
1:34
Speaker 2: fully you know, lay this out Columbus State graduation for
1:38
Speaker 2: me is reading the name of all of the graduates.
1:41
Speaker 2: Thursday night is a hooting ceremony. I'm reading the name
1:43
Speaker 2: of the people that are there being hooded, and then
1:45
Speaker 2: any comments they want to make to their family and
1:48
Speaker 2: loved ones and friends. That was Thursday night, and I
1:51
Speaker 2: left the hooding ceremony for Columbus State and immediately went
1:56
Speaker 2: to a dress rehearsal for the Nutcracker where I play
2:01
Speaker 2: the Mother Ginger. It is a role typically traditionally and
2:07
Speaker 2: just I haven't really talked about this, I don't think
2:08
Speaker 2: this season, but typically this role is played by a man.
2:13
Speaker 2: It is, I mean historically, this is it's like you
2:19
Speaker 2: know in Peter Pan. You know, it's typically a woman
2:22
Speaker 2: that plays Peter Pan. It's easier to fly the woman
2:25
Speaker 2: around on a harness in the in the theater. And
2:30
Speaker 2: Mother Ginger it's there's stilts involved, there's a huge dress
2:36
Speaker 2: and it's heavy, there's a harness that goes with a dress.
2:38
Speaker 2: That's just a lot to the role and typically a
2:41
Speaker 2: man plays the role. For that reason, they asked me
2:46
Speaker 2: seven Nutcrackers ago, so six years ago, twenty nineteen. That
2:51
Speaker 2: was the first year they asked me if I was
2:53
Speaker 2: interested in doing it, and I said, absolutely, it sounds
2:56
Speaker 2: like fun. Let's do this. And this character is yes,
3:02
Speaker 2: it's she is significant in the Nutcracker story. She's significant
3:06
Speaker 2: in the ballet in that you know, this is just
3:12
Speaker 2: a little background ballet, but like divertisement ballet. Most of
3:18
Speaker 2: the second act is these divert performances. They're sort of
3:24
Speaker 2: distractionary ballet. They're kind of standout things. And then this
3:29
Speaker 2: Mother Ginger role and her poulis channel's which are these
3:32
Speaker 2: little clown children that run out of the dress. And
3:34
Speaker 2: that's the reason you need the big hoop dress. Is
3:37
Speaker 2: to me, like when you have a show that's full
3:41
Speaker 2: of all these divertisement distractionary ballets, then Mother Ginger kind
3:47
Speaker 2: of effectively becomes like the distraction, the divertisement, the like
3:52
Speaker 2: moment of comedy and then you get back into the show.
3:55
Speaker 2: So it appealed to me in that regard From the
3:59
Speaker 2: very beginning. I thought that would be a lot of
4:01
Speaker 2: fun to do that and be part of it, being
4:04
Speaker 2: someone who has been known to be a bit of
4:06
Speaker 2: a ham guilty as charged. So I took it on
4:11
Speaker 2: and then I started it and then I thought, well,
4:12
Speaker 2: I've got to be on stilts. I don't know how
4:14
Speaker 2: to walk on stilts. I need to learn how to
4:16
Speaker 2: walk on stilts, and then I need to learn how
4:18
Speaker 2: to do something that resembles dance on stilts, and then
4:21
Speaker 2: you know, be able to entertain and do comedic things
4:26
Speaker 2: on stilts. And each year I get assigned a new
4:29
Speaker 2: set of Polish Channel's. It's a new group I have
4:31
Speaker 2: to learn to work with. We have to, you know,
4:33
Speaker 2: share stage together. They have to come out on stage
4:36
Speaker 2: in the dress with me and not trip me. You know.
4:40
Speaker 2: There's a lot of things in play and I love it. It's
4:44
Speaker 2: just one of the most fun things I do. And
4:46
Speaker 2: they've asked me to come back basically indefinitely. They're like,
4:49
Speaker 2: this is your role until you're done with it, and
4:51
Speaker 2: that's an unbelievably flattering thing to hear. The first time
4:55
Speaker 2: I did it, it was like, I just want to do it,
4:57
Speaker 2: and then by the end of the show or run
4:59
Speaker 2: of the shows, it was like, you it'd be nice
5:01
Speaker 2: to be like, man, you're the best one that's done this.
5:03
Speaker 2: If I could get that, I thought, well, that would
5:05
Speaker 2: be nice, because I want to do just not for
5:08
Speaker 2: my personal vanity. It was just I wanted to do
5:11
Speaker 2: a really good job for the show, the company, all
5:16
Speaker 2: of the people involved in it. You know, you just
5:18
Speaker 2: wanted to do well for the person who asked me
5:20
Speaker 2: to be in it, Thank you, Kylie. And then you
5:24
Speaker 2: in the end, you know, if you get asked to
5:25
Speaker 2: do it again. And then they finished it and they
5:27
Speaker 2: said you want to do it next year and I
5:28
Speaker 2: said yeah, And then you kind of get to that
5:31
Speaker 2: point where after doing it for seven years, you're just
5:34
Speaker 2: known for that. People are coming to the show expecting
5:37
Speaker 2: to see you in that role and what you bring
5:40
Speaker 2: to it, and that's unbelievably flattering. It's just it just
5:45
Speaker 2: and I have I go sometimes and it's usually in
5:48
Speaker 2: this window that is between you know, doing the show
5:55
Speaker 2: and then like Christmas or soon after Christmas, you kind
6:03
Speaker 2: of get to that point where you are people will
6:08
Speaker 2: bump into you and they're like, oh my gosh, saw
6:10
Speaker 2: you know that Cracker is so great and you're always
6:12
Speaker 2: so funny and any of those kind of things, and
6:14
Speaker 2: it's always flat and it's just it's wild to me
6:17
Speaker 2: to think that at this point in my life, this
6:19
Speaker 2: is one of the things that I'm known for okay,
6:24
Speaker 2: So anyway, there's a lot to it. There's a lot
6:28
Speaker 2: going on, and it's it's stilts on your feet. You're
6:32
Speaker 2: doing something that resembles dancing. I say I dance. Everyone
6:35
Speaker 2: you know, my wife especially is like, you're a ballet dancer.
6:39
Speaker 2: But I have to do something that resembles dance and
6:42
Speaker 2: it involves twirls and turns on stage. Anyway, so I
6:46
Speaker 2: had to go straight from one to the next, and
6:48
Speaker 2: then I had to do it again on Friday, a
6:50
Speaker 2: full day of doing it, and then I had to
6:51
Speaker 2: go from one to the next, and we did a
6:53
Speaker 2: show Friday night, and then we had a great show Saturday,
6:56
Speaker 2: great show Sunday. We're done, it's done. We had a
7:00
Speaker 2: lot of fun. The good news is I've been asked
7:02
Speaker 2: to come back next year. So if you missed it
7:04
Speaker 2: and you want to see it, and if I've done
7:06
Speaker 2: a decent job of selling it, but it's just a
7:09
Speaker 2: lot of fun, and you know, the Columbus Ballet, I
7:12
Speaker 2: thank them for having me back and inviting me back
7:16
Speaker 2: for next year and everyone there involved with the show. Now,
7:20
Speaker 2: the other part of this story is that I had
7:22
Speaker 2: an next surgery three months ago and This was two
7:27
Speaker 2: herniated discs in my neck that had to be fixed
7:30
Speaker 2: and I had to have a fusion. And yeah, there
7:35
Speaker 2: was a point where I thought I might have to
7:37
Speaker 2: miss the Nutcracker and it was devastating to me that
7:39
Speaker 2: there was going to be a possibility of that. And
7:42
Speaker 2: I went to doctor Eric Westerland and he said, listen,
7:46
Speaker 2: I'll get you back on stilts by November, like we
7:49
Speaker 2: can do that. Does that work for you? And I
7:52
Speaker 2: said yes. I got in quickly to see doctor Westerland
7:56
Speaker 2: because of Ivy Holt, who is his pa, and she
8:00
Speaker 2: said do and she's a friend, and she said, let's
8:03
Speaker 2: make this happen. Let's get you back on because she
8:05
Speaker 2: comes to the show every year. She's like, I want
8:07
Speaker 2: to see you in the Nutcracker. So their work, their team,
8:12
Speaker 2: everyone involved there at Jack Houston to make this all
8:15
Speaker 2: come together, and work got me back for the show
8:18
Speaker 2: and I am grateful for that. I got my dopamine hits,
8:23
Speaker 2: my fix that I needed for the weekend, and I'm
8:27
Speaker 2: just excited that I'm pain free. That's the other part.
8:31
Speaker 2: His graduation would hurt, The Nutcracker would hurt. Doing them
8:36
Speaker 2: at the same time would have been agonizing prior to
8:39
Speaker 2: the surgery, so I'm very thankful for that, and it's
8:42
Speaker 2: just one of the blessings with all of this, That
8:44
Speaker 2: and the new group of girls getting to share time
8:47
Speaker 2: with them, getting to show stage with them. A lot
8:49
Speaker 2: of the performers, some of the girls who were pollies
8:51
Speaker 2: for me the first year I was in the Nutcracker
8:53
Speaker 2: were some of the prominent roles this year, and even
8:57
Speaker 2: the Cavalier and the sugar Plumb Fairy. I've gotten to
9:02
Speaker 2: know them over the years and it's just great to
9:05
Speaker 2: be all together for the show. So one thing that
9:09
Speaker 2: I did do, and I'm just quickly gonna mention this,
9:11
Speaker 2: is I had seven girls this year as Polly's and
9:14
Speaker 2: you know, there's this trend, the six seven thing. You
9:18
Speaker 2: may not know it, but it's just something that kids
9:20
Speaker 2: say and do, and it's this thing they do with
9:22
Speaker 2: their hands when they say it, and it was pretty
9:24
Speaker 2: popular over Halloween this year, so I worked it into
9:28
Speaker 2: the performance this year, just kind of ad lived it
9:31
Speaker 2: in there and got a big laugh from the kids
9:34
Speaker 2: in the audience, which was I kind of wish I'd
9:37
Speaker 2: been able to do this. Oh, I definitely wish I'd
9:39
Speaker 2: been able to do the school show this year and
9:40
Speaker 2: been able to work that into that, I probably would
9:42
Speaker 2: have brought the roof down on the River Center. But anyway,
9:47
Speaker 2: and then the last person, well two more people have
9:49
Speaker 2: to think. My friend, dear friend Sarah, who does my
9:53
Speaker 2: makeup for me every year. She just did a fantastic job.
9:58
Speaker 2: It's you know, I'm trying to remember exactly I think
10:02
Speaker 2: we did record it. I'm trying to remember how long
10:04
Speaker 2: the recording was of the makeup. I think it ended
10:06
Speaker 2: up being about seventy minutes of her putting the makeup on.
10:10
Speaker 2: So she donates her time to do that, and she
10:15
Speaker 2: enjoys doing it. She's really good at it. And then,
10:18
Speaker 2: of course the MVP of all of this is my bride,
10:21
Speaker 2: who puts up with me doing this because she ends
10:24
Speaker 2: up having extra responsibilities while I'm doing rehearsals and shows
10:28
Speaker 2: and all of those things. So anyway, that's my recap
10:32
Speaker 2: for the Nutcracker this year, and excited about coming back
10:36
Speaker 2: again next year. So now I want to mention this
10:42
Speaker 2: because just quickly, again, this is not a story that
10:47
Speaker 2: I want to the focus on. Part of this, the
10:54
Speaker 2: politics side of it, it's there, it's not American politics.
10:59
Speaker 2: But it's close to home for us here in our
11:03
Speaker 2: home and that is this horrible shooting that took place
11:10
Speaker 2: at at Bondi Beach in Sydney. This was deemed a
11:17
Speaker 2: terror attack. This is a obviously this has rolled over
11:22
Speaker 2: into concerns in US soil as well. Australia not known
11:30
Speaker 2: for gun violence, right, they have had a gun ban
11:34
Speaker 2: that only I guess registered gun owners and things there
11:40
Speaker 2: for a long time. Now it is much easier for
11:45
Speaker 2: a country and island country to control guns coming in
11:50
Speaker 2: and out of the country. And in this particular case,
11:53
Speaker 2: we're talking about the shooter, the alleged shooters or whatever
11:57
Speaker 2: the verbiage is on this. One of them did last check,
12:01
Speaker 2: one of them was in a critical or serious condition
12:04
Speaker 2: after being shot. But shooting at people at a Hanuka celebration,
12:11
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's what we're talking about here. This
12:13
Speaker 2: is basically when people want to talk about guns and
12:20
Speaker 2: how you know, taking away guns stops this from happening.
12:22
Speaker 2: And here's a clear example of it, doesn't you know.
12:27
Speaker 2: This is someone who had had a licensed or had
12:30
Speaker 2: multiple licensed weapons and had decided that they wanted to
12:34
Speaker 2: go after groups of Jewish Australians. I mean, that's that's
12:39
Speaker 2: the early indications of all of this. So anti Semitism
12:45
Speaker 2: is real. It has been tolerated more here in recent months,
12:51
Speaker 2: in recent years. It is strange to me the way
12:57
Speaker 2: this has become something that has been embraced by certain
13:04
Speaker 2: groups in this country and around the world. I don't
13:09
Speaker 2: know that we know the specific motives for these two
13:12
Speaker 2: shooters as it pertains to the things that I'm speculating,
13:14
Speaker 2: but I'm just pointing out the fact that we have
13:17
Speaker 2: had this phase in this country and in parts of
13:22
Speaker 2: the world where because a terror group in Hamas attacked
13:31
Speaker 2: and killed women, raped, attacked, killed women, children, and not
13:38
Speaker 2: just women and children, but we're talking about some of
13:41
Speaker 2: the horrific things on top of murdering, you know, the
13:47
Speaker 2: people of Israel. And then that turned into a well,
13:52
Speaker 2: we need to get the rights of Palestinians, and suddenly
13:56
Speaker 2: Israel became the bad guy in being the ones who
13:59
Speaker 2: were at hacked by a terror group that was running
14:03
Speaker 2: that area. And suddenly it became okay for college campuses
14:08
Speaker 2: to just crap on them, talk out terrible they were
14:13
Speaker 2: to go after Jewish students on college campuses, and then
14:20
Speaker 2: you had a situation where we had a person running
14:23
Speaker 2: for president in the US had a clear and present
14:27
Speaker 2: opportunity to select a running mate who was Jewish and
14:31
Speaker 2: honestly more well liked than Kamala Harris. If they had
14:36
Speaker 2: had a primary and gone through an actual democratic system
14:40
Speaker 2: to pick a candidate for the Democrats, a Shapiro, a
14:45
Speaker 2: Governor Josh Shapiro would have probably I think, beaten her
14:50
Speaker 2: for the nomination, except for the fact that he's Jewish,
14:55
Speaker 2: and I believe it that's the reason that he wasn't
14:58
Speaker 2: selected to be the vice presidential candidate. That and what
15:01
Speaker 2: I told you last week, the fact that I really
15:03
Speaker 2: believe that they were looking for another useful idiot, and
15:07
Speaker 2: I think Governor Wallas is that guy. Kamala Harris is
15:10
Speaker 2: that gal. George Joe Biden was that guy. I mean,
15:16
Speaker 2: that's the thing now, as you look for these useful
15:18
Speaker 2: idiots so that people behind the scenes can do these
15:22
Speaker 2: things so and by do these things, I just mean
15:27
Speaker 2: incompetent things that don't push the country in the right direction,
15:32
Speaker 2: and people are looking out for their own interests. So yeah,
15:37
Speaker 2: we have seen this, We have seen this rise, We
15:39
Speaker 2: have seen this. You know, senseless rise in anti Semitism
15:46
Speaker 2: that's been allowed to take place around the world, coming
15:49
Speaker 2: from the same people who point to the right and
15:51
Speaker 2: call them Nazis and fascists. Let it sink in for
15:57
Speaker 2: a minute that the same people who refuse to denounce
16:03
Speaker 2: anti Semitism around the world point to the other side
16:07
Speaker 2: and call them Nazis and fascists. Just let that sink in.
16:12
Speaker 2: And again, we don't know details on this specific incident.
16:15
Speaker 2: I don't know. All this incident tells us is that
16:18
Speaker 2: no matter where you are in the world, you can't
16:20
Speaker 2: completely stay away from gun violence. You can't do it.
16:25
Speaker 2: You can tell yourself, convince yourself that you can, but
16:28
Speaker 2: it is not possible to stay away from gun violence period.
16:34
Speaker 2: Are there fewer instances of it on a country that's
16:36
Speaker 2: an island surrounded by water, certainly, But it's also a
16:40
Speaker 2: country that didn't fight for their independence. It's also a
16:43
Speaker 2: country that didn't use militias to fight for their independence.
16:47
Speaker 2: We're different here, they're different there. But we have to
16:53
Speaker 2: understand we don't have the gun problem. We have the
17:00
Speaker 2: as Erica Kirk put it, we got issues with mental health.
17:04
Speaker 2: We have issues with people, We have issues with hate,
17:09
Speaker 2: we have other problems, and people decide then to use guns.
17:15
Speaker 2: I'm really elaborating on what she said, but this is
17:18
Speaker 2: all tying into it. People that use guns to carry
17:21
Speaker 2: out those acts. The guns aren't carrying out the acts.
17:26
Speaker 2: It's the people that are motivated by these things. And
17:29
Speaker 2: when they're being told Jewish people are a problem, is
17:33
Speaker 2: the Israeli people are the problem. That it is possible
17:38
Speaker 2: that horrible things are going to happen. Today's show brought
17:40
Speaker 2: to you by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center,
17:44
Speaker 2: inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and

18:34
Speaker 2: experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of
18:37
Speaker 2: those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
18:40
Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
18:43
Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here

19:07
Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
19:11
Speaker 2: city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you
19:13
Speaker 2: can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also
19:16
Speaker 2: on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin

Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage door needs,
19:36
Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's

20:01
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
20:05
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
20:07
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
20:10
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
20:13
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
20:17
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
20:20
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
20:24
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
20:26
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
20:29
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
20:33
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like
20:35
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
20:37
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid. You'd like to
20:40
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
20:42
Speaker 2: all the insects in They can do that for you
20:44
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
20:47
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
20:50
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
20:53
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
20:56
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six ory five eight forty five
20:59
Speaker 2: hundred seven six three five eight forty five hundred oh
21:03
Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carrol Morning Show right after
21:07
Speaker 2: the break, Zootopia two topp of the weekend box office
21:20
Speaker 2: with twenty six point three million dollars five nights at
21:23
Speaker 2: Freddy's two just shy of that, nineteen point five million,
21:27
Speaker 2: Wicked for Good and Now you see Me Now you don't.
21:32
Speaker 2: Among the others in the top five there for the weekend,
21:36
Speaker 2: the political comedy drama La McKay two point one million.
21:42
Speaker 2: There has been a lot of promotion for that. When
21:46
Speaker 2: I've been trying to watch some things on streaming services
21:51
Speaker 2: and it's it was a bit obnoxious how much promote
21:55
Speaker 2: was for it. I thought, there's some reason this this
21:59
Speaker 2: is getting so much. I don't know why it's getting
22:01
Speaker 2: so much hype, and then I find out it was
22:04
Speaker 2: something political to it. And I went, oh, well, there
22:06
Speaker 2: you go. That makes some sense, doesn't It feels like
22:09
Speaker 2: there's some reason for some of that, at least in
22:12
Speaker 2: that aspect anyway. But good for Zutopia, I guess. So
22:17
Speaker 2: there's a Darth Vader lightsaber that was the previously the
22:22
Speaker 2: King of Star Wars auction pieces all right no more.
22:30
Speaker 2: A piece of original nineteen seventy seven poster art by
22:34
Speaker 2: illustrator Tom Young just sold for three point eight seven
22:39
Speaker 2: five million dollars, edging out the lightsabers three point six
22:44
Speaker 2: five four million dollar price tag. The painting features luke
22:48
Speaker 2: Lea in Vader's helmet, among other characters and elements from
22:51
Speaker 2: the first movie. Came from the family of producer Gary Kurtz,
22:55
Speaker 2: and is famous for being the image that kicked off
22:59
Speaker 2: the entire franchise. So nice, I guess. I mean, I
23:07
Speaker 2: think the lightsaber would. I don't know the art, and
23:09
Speaker 2: it seems like it's a good thing. Bud Light is
23:12
Speaker 2: honoring Bill's mafia by brewing beer with stadium snow. It's
23:19
Speaker 2: a good announcement for right around the time that they
23:22
Speaker 2: had a big win over the weekend. I guess actual
23:24
Speaker 2: snow shoveled from high Mark Stadium after a storm was
23:28
Speaker 2: scooped up, hauled to Anheuser Busch's brewery, and then turned
23:33
Speaker 2: into limited edition Blizzard brew. The beer comes in special
23:37
Speaker 2: sixteen ounce cans will be sold around Buffalo just in
23:40
Speaker 2: time for the final regular season home game. They're going
23:45
Speaker 2: to put a transactivist on the cant No, I'm just kidding.
23:49
Speaker 2: They're not gonna do that. I don't think they're ever
23:52
Speaker 2: gonna do that ever. Again, I don't think so. I
23:55
Speaker 2: think maybe perhaps they might have learned a lesson from that.
24:02
Speaker 2: Of course, the Bill Stadium infamous for the snow and
24:06
Speaker 2: having the fans have to come in and clear out
24:10
Speaker 2: the snow so that they are able to play games
24:15
Speaker 2: and they come in and fans be able to come
24:18
Speaker 2: into the stands and all of those things. So Japan
24:21
Speaker 2: has a bear problem and it's trying to solve the
24:24
Speaker 2: problem in the most logical way possible. I mean, if
24:28
Speaker 2: you got a bear problem, what do you do? How
24:29
Speaker 2: do you get rid of bears? Well, logic tells you
24:33
Speaker 2: you make robot wolves. Robo wolves that look like metal
24:38
Speaker 2: Halloween props basically have glowing red eyes, swiveling parts, and
24:44
Speaker 2: speakers that blast more than five hundred random sounds, So
24:47
Speaker 2: that's fifty random sounds. That's not five hundred and fifty.
24:51
Speaker 2: But suppose if it's a robot wolf, it probably sounds
24:55
Speaker 2: like five hundred from wolf houlse to human shouts. Despite
24:59
Speaker 2: the the goofy look, they say that they actually work.
25:02
Speaker 2: Bears hate chaos and usually bolt, and there's now about
25:06
Speaker 2: three hundred and thirty robo wolf station around the country
25:09
Speaker 2: as bear encounters have risen, and communities are even asking
25:13
Speaker 2: for more of them to be installed. Now, my question
25:17
Speaker 2: is how do the sounds go over with humans? Is
25:21
Speaker 2: it something that people want to hear or is it
25:26
Speaker 2: something that people don't want to hear? I mean, I
25:30
Speaker 2: don't know. It doesn't seem like if I saw a growling,
25:33
Speaker 2: metal dog looking thing, I would be a little put off.
25:39
Speaker 2: If it was making one of fifty or five hundred noises,
25:42
Speaker 2: I would definitely be put off by it. It's all
25:45
Speaker 2: I'm saying. When it comes to having guests over for
25:48
Speaker 2: the holidays, apparently there is a definite time limit. A
25:52
Speaker 2: survey found nearly fifty percent of people think that spending
25:55
Speaker 2: four days or more as a guest is too long,
25:59
Speaker 2: and it seems that guests know this rule as well,
26:03
Speaker 2: because eighty percent of those hostings say the guests typically
26:06
Speaker 2: stay for four nights or less. So four nights. If
26:11
Speaker 2: you're making the plan, keep the four night rule in place,
26:14
Speaker 2: or the survey information or whatever it is. I keep
26:18
Speaker 2: that in mind. I mean it might save you a
26:21
Speaker 2: lot of drama, a lot of stress, a lot of anxiety,
26:25
Speaker 2: and ruining a relationship with a family member. Just saying
26:29
Speaker 2: that'll do it for this Monday edition of the show.
26:31
