  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carol Morning Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Monday morning, twenty seventh day of July. I'm Wes. Thanks
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: for joining me kicking off this week together, this final
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: week in the month of July. I learned something yesterday
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: that I was completely unaware of. I don't know how
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I feel about it, to be honest, I guess it
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: makes sense when I tell you what it is. I
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: don't know. You have to just kind of process it,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: maybe like I did, and say, hey, it makes sense,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: or no, it doesn't make sense. I guess it's an
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: indicator of how things have changed in society. I would
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: assume maybe for the best. I mean, depends on where
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: you stand on this particular topic. I'll just say that,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, certainly it shows a maturity level for people.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: But I don't know. Let's get into this. I was
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: made aware in a conversation with some younger people, and
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing up around high school, like late high school age,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: maybe recent graduates, somewhere in that age. And for clarity,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: if you're not aware, I have kids that are this age.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: So I'm just I'm not calling out who they were.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I'm just pointing out that. Not talking to my kids,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: they certainly don't fall into this category. But talking to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: some younger people yesterday in the subject of mooning, someone
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: came up, and these kids had no idea what that was.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: They weren't familiar with the act, no childhood prank of,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: you know, bearing your backside at someone has ever like
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I guess maybe like that itself they're familiar with. They
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: just didn't know the term. I don't know. I didn't
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: really press the issue beyond my surprise and shock that
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: that term isn't really still a thing that people don't
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: say that. And I mean, this was a very small
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: sampling in fairness, so you know, maybe we're not talking
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: about everyone in that demographic, but it was just interesting
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to me. They just had never heard of it. And
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I don't even think the two people I was talking
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: to were really friends with each other. So that was
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: another aspect of it that was interesting. It was kind
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: of a sampling of a couple of people but didn't
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: know the word, didn't know what it meant. I mean,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: they knew the word, They're familiar with what a moon
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: is and that we have a moon that's called the moon.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I assume I mean we didn't really dive into all that.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: But my point is, yeah, they didn't know what the
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: term mooning was. I had to explain what it meant
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to moon someone, and they were just like, oh, I
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: never heard of that. Not familiar with that term. I
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: learned something today, is what they said to me. So
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: just keep that in mind. Anytime you want to feel old,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: all you have to do is take something that seems
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: like it would stand the test of time, say it
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: to someone who is quite a bit younger, and watch them,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: you know, make you feel old. I don't know if
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: it's that. I mean, there's some things I say. I make,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: you know, a movie reference or I make a song reference,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: and I feel old then because people, you know, they
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: don't I don't know what I'm talking about. In this case.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I think it's just that it's I guess I blame progressivism.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know, And I'm not saying it's that this
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: isn't necessarily a bad example of it, because you know,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: it's been a long time. It's been a long time since,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: you know, an actual consideration of mooning someone was a thing,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: you know, for me a very long time. So I mean,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: you know, I would think though if you're like around
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: high school age, that maybe where it happens. But it's
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: also I feel reassured that we don't have high schoolers
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: doing it. Maybe they understand now that that's not okay,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: you shouldn't be doing that. It just seems like something
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: though that would still be around. That's all. That's all
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I'm getting at, and I learned that yesterday. We are
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: coming up quickly now, with a little over a month
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: ago before we get into September and dragon Con and
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: a dragon Con pregame show coming up the final weekend
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: of August on August twenty ninth. Guests to be named soon.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I'm waiting on one of the guests to get off
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: a cruise ship so I can get my final answer
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: on that. I don't know if that gives you a
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: hint as to who it might be. Anyway, our coverage,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: as always, or at least in most recent years, powered
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center at
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: pregame show, give you everything you need to know to
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: get ready for dragon Con, the Ultimate pop culture convention,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the greatest pop culture convention anywhere in the known universe,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: and get you ready. We tell you everything that you
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: need to know and prepare you for it. Now. Past
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: episodes of the Dragon Con Pregame Show with interviews with
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: people like William Shatner, Evangeline Lilly, Zachary Levi, and more
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: waiting for you on the Dragon Con Pregame Show podcast.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Wherever you listen to this podcast, you can listen to
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: that podcast. And I mentioned dragon Con because one, we
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: want you to be ready for our coverage of it,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: but also because San Diego Comic Con happened, a lot
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: of stuff has taken place, getting folks ready for the
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: upcoming season that is everything Marvel and we have Spider
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Man a brand New Day that is coming Thursday, right
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: and then coming in December will be the new Avengers
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Doomsday movie. So these are things that we're discussed in
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: great detail at San Diego Comic Con. And I just
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I want to touch on a couple of things because
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: this seems to be a conversation topic that isn't going anywhere,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Unlike mooning that one's going that let's going nowhere, man,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: nobody's talking about mooning anymore, but just a topic. And
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: we've just gone through this with the movie The Odyssey.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: We've gone through this with several movies that have gotten
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: remade or revamped and all these things. And we have
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: these characters that they've decided we're gonna make a change
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: with a character. We're gonna say this character is now
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: a different gender, different race, whatever. In some cases, it
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: really has no bearing on anything. And in some cases,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: you know, it's fair to be critical to some degree
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and say, what are we doing here? You know, I
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: talked a lot about this idea when we had like
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: a little Mermaid was changed played by a black actress
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: and Danish fairy tale. You know, when this story is written,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know how many black people were living there.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure the character was very typically Danish for
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: the time. But you could say, you know, we wanted
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: to change it because we were, you know, trying to
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: do something different with a character. It's a mermaid. Mermaids
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: aren't real. We can make them whatever race we want.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: And I think you could have that discussion should it
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: have been a black actress, should it not have been
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: a black actress? The question that I feel like we
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: have here going for us or against us? Maybe, is
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: this idea that it keeps coming up and we'll get
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: to the marvel thing in a second. But like I
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: remember seeing clips and quotes of you know, like young
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: black girls saying well, oh, she looks like me, and
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: my thoughts on that, and I understand this is not
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent of the time, but my thoughts on
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: that tend to be on the side of that as
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: a learned behavior. Racism in general is a learned behavior.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: My kids, for example, two of Jill's very closest friends
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: are both Kenyan, one of them in our lives from
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the very beginning when they were born, and they she
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: referred to herself to our children as I'm your chocolate antie.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: But to them it was it was just Dorothy, like
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: that's who she was. She was, you know, she's changed
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: their diaper, like she was just part of the family.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: For them, she was one of our one of Jill's
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: dearest friends, one of our family friends. And to them
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: this was nothing more than, you know, another another friend
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: of the family, another person, another uh, you know, person
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: that was around. And at no point did my kids
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: think of her as anything else. There were never conversations
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: of why does she look different? Why you know that
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: wasn't part of the discussion. I remember Jake when he
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: was very young seeing a picture of all the different presidents. Jake,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: by the way, it was two almost, he wasn't quite
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: three years old. He had memorized all of the presidents.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: He knew all the state capitals before he turned two.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: He was that kid. But you know, at three four
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: years old, he was looking at pictures of the presidents
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: and he pointed at broad Obama on the picture and
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: he said something about he was different than the others.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: And we were like, oh, how so, and he said, well,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: he's the only one smiling in these pictures. Again, there
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: wasn't this learned behavior that had come into play. And
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I think we see it in sports. Certainly, we've seen
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: it over the years. We went through it. Obviously in
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: the eighties it was basketball was one of those things.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: You know, like most sports, they were predominantly white. Black
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: players got in the leagues and played, and then suddenly
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: it was a white player in basketball was something special,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: and you go, oh, my gosh, look at Larry Bird.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: What is he doing in the league. The players in
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: the league, the coaches, they all said, that guy is
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: different than everybody else out here. Keep an eye on
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: that guy. I forget who it was. Someone famously was
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: listening to the I guess it was the must have
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: just been an Indiana State basketball game, and he heard
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: him talking about Larry Bird Larry Bird on the radio,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: and he thought, who is this guy? I can't wait
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: to see this guy and see him play. And then
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: he was shocked when he found out as much as
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: they were talking about him then he was white. It
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: tells that story and laughs about it, and you know
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: what a great player he was. But the fact that
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: there was a period of time in the eighties where
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: you had you know, young white kids going I see
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: myself in that guy. We went through it, especially in
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: the NFL with quarterbacks black quarterbacks, people going oh great
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: and really pulling for the Michael Vicks and people like
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: that pulling for Michael Vick even after his criminal history,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: which another story altogether. But it's just been part of
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: this cycle of Oh, I see someone who looks like me.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: A three and four year old child seeing the Little
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Mermaid and saying, ah, she looks like me. I just
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: on social media. I just I question the legitimacy of it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Doesn't mean it's not occasionally going to be the case.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I just I feel like it's a valid thing to question.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I didn't experience that with my kids, with them in
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: that place. Okay, that's that's the that's my truth, as
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: they like to say on the left, that's my truth.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: So now we're we're doing this with with some Marvel
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: characters and the newest character that is coming out of
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: San Diego Comic Con. And this already happened. By the way,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: this isn't a new thing. It's just reared its head
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: again because, as you may have heard, Robert Downey Jr.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Cast to play Doctor Doom in the Avengers Doomsday movie. Now,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Robert Downey Junior, sorry if you're not in the big
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Nerd club, played iron Man, brilliantly fantastic iron Man. Okay, well,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: cast is Doctor Doom because there's a number of theories
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: on why he's been cast as Doctor Doom. There is
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: some sort of a comic story connection where iron Man,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Tony Stark, Ironman and Doctor Doom switched at birth and
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: some sort of thing. Maybe that's what they're doing. Nobody really,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, somebody knows, but you know, people outside of
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: the Marvel world, they don't know really what the story's
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: going to be until December. But the questions now are
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: why did they cast a white actor to play Doctor Doom.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Robert Downey Jr. A lot of jokes too about his
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: character h and tropic thunder, which you know, that's a
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: whole other story altogether, great attired. So people saying that
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: they've whitewashed Doctor Doom. Now, in some of the comic books,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: the character of Doctor Doom has a darker skin when
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: you see his face outside of the helmet, but was
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: never really portrayed as black. I don't I'm not. I'm
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: not aware of that ever happening, but definitely was not
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: intended to be a black man. He's he's supposed to
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: be from a fictional place. It's not like you're saying
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: that he is from, you know, like a country in
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Africa where you would go, well, he should be black.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: He's not from Wakanda, even a fictional country, so you
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: can't make that case. He's supposed to be like European Romani.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: He's supposed to be, you know, that's that's a a
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: white European man. So it's not crazy to cast Robert
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Downey Jr. But we're doing this again. We just did
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: this with the odyssey. We've gone and we will continue
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: to do this, and people make these bizarre, non linear
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: arguments about why this shouldn't be the case, why it
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: shouldn't happen, and you know it's not going to go anywhere.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: But it's just interesting the timing of this coming right
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: after the whole odyssey saga that goes with it. So
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: so here we go. This will I guess, be in
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: the conversation until it and it's it only tends to
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: go one way. Again. We're talking about a character largely
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: fighting the Fantastic four Pedro Pascal chilean actor playing you know,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: mister fantastic who read Richards as a white man. I
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: heard zero conversations about I don't remember hearing anything about that.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: That certainly wasn't mainstream news. No one was going, oh
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: my gosh, they've cast a Latin actor to play a
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: white man tens and I know there are people, there
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: were people who lost their minds about the Little Mermaid,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: but it's just interesting. That depends on where you kind
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: of fall on things, whether certain things bother you or not.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I guess it depends on if you got the D
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: or the R next to your name. It's gonna make
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: you decide whether or not you're gonna have a problem,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: whether or not I guess. Get ready for dragon Con forty.
• 17:42

  Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
• 20:26

• 21:15
  Speaker 2: you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: can take care of squaring that away for you, and
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: while they're there, you can always ask them questions about
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: what you want it to be and you need some
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: some sort of installation ish that you've got. With colder,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man caved you'd
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, And they do
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six thorty five eight forty

• 22:49
  Speaker 2: right after the break. Well, if you if you recall,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: we a few years ago went through this phase where
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: younger people were wearing longer socks, wanting to have the
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: taller socks and just pushing those into the forefront instead of,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: you know, the more reasonable socks. I think it depends
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: also geographically where you live with this. I know the
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: trendy thing was to have the taller socks, but apparently
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: things have changed a bit for the younger crowd. A
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: new survey found most Gen z ers now ditching tall
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: socks for ankle or quarterlink style, saying they look cleaner,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: classier and let their shoes do the talking and look
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: in the summer, if you got socks coming up to
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: your knees and you're wearing shorts, you're gonna have some
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: weird tan lines. I know, if you're just always wearing
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: the socks, it won't matter. But basically, they say folks
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: that are wearing taller socks younger people are actually pushing
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: them down. So yeah, gen Z, if you're letting them
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: dictate what's cool for you know that they've decided to
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: basically move back to the shorter socks. So yeah, when
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: I was younger, I didn't wear socks at all. That
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: was my thing. And you know, if I can get
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: away with wearing slides now in most circumstances, I try
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: not to as well. But anyway, Yeah, the ankle socks,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: that's just the staple. That should be the standard sock
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: unless you're dressed up, if you're wearing shorts or jeans,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: you know, the ankle socks should be it. When you're
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: choosing cheese for your cheeseburger, you want flavor, but you
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: want one that does a good job of melting food
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: and wine put some of the most popular burger cheeses
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: to the test to find out which ones melt the best.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: And I don't think the results are going to surprise
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: you at all that basically, when it comes to melting
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: and flavor, they say that the best cheese for your
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: cheeseburger is in fact American cheese. Now it surprises me
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: that they have Gouda at number two. Havardi provolone gray
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: year is how you say that gray? I don't think
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: I've ever said it out loud, gray year, but I'm
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: classic enough to eat it. I just don't know that
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: I've ever said it pepper jack, cheddar and then Swiss
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: rounding out that is it? It is pronounced? Am I
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: saying it as? It feels like gree no? Gray year?
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: I guess, uh? I would? I would put honestly, I
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: feel like Cheddar should be higher than this, and I
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: think provolone if you're if you're really focusing on the
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: melting components of it, that should be there. But chances
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: are you have at least heard someone say bro, dude
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: or man lately. According to linguists, there's a reason that
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: those words stick around. A new look at so called
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: bro language finds words like bro, dude and man have
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: evolved beyond describing guys. They're now used by people of
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: all genders as a way to signal friendship, connection, and
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: even softened disagreements. Experts say that the words help create
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: a sense of familiarity, solidarity, and everyday conversations. While dude
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: dominated the eighties and nineties, younger generations helping to push
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: bro to new heights, along with variations like bruh and bra.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I think bra was first, and then bruh is the
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: one now. And when I say that you've probably heard,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: you've probably actually heard. You know you're like one of
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: your kids. I don't think mine, if maybe jokingly in
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: a very specific way, I haven't been just called like
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: bruh by one of my kids, other than in a
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: very sarcastic way. All right, to travel out of the country,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: you need a valid US passport, even though it's not
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: as strong as it used to be, at least in
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: term of global travel rankings. A new Henley Passport Index
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: report shows that the US has slipped from the world's
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: top spot in two thousand and six to tenth place
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six, with thirty six countries now ranked
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: ahead of it. While Americans can still travel visa free
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: to one hundred and eighty destinations up to one hundred,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: up from one hundred and thirty two decades ago. Other
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: countries have expanded access even faster. Singapore now holds the
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: world's most powerful passport, followed by Japan, South Korea, and
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: United Arab Emirates. The report says passport strength reflects the
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: country's diplomatic ties and global influence. So I'm okay with that. Okay,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: if we got to draw some lines with some other
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: countries and lose a little bit of power in the
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: old passport, I think I can live with that. That'll
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: do it for this Monday edition of the show. Thanks
