- 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: Thursday morning, nineteenth day of September. I'm wes, thanks for
- 0:14Speaker 2: joining me.
- 0:17Speaker 1: We are.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Forty something days left to the election. Whatever it is.
- 0:21Speaker 2: It's still I don't know, mid forty somewhere around there.
- 0:24Speaker 2: It's coming up fast, is what I'm getting at. I mean,
- 0:27Speaker 2: we're almost done with September, We're over halfway through. Then
- 0:31Speaker 2: we got October and then it's election day. We got
- 0:33Speaker 2: to figure this thing out, people, we all have to
- 0:37Speaker 2: figure this thing out. And according to Hillary Clinton, who
- 0:42Speaker 2: of course lost to Donald Trump back in twenty sixteen,
- 0:47Speaker 2: she says that the American people are still getting to
- 0:50Speaker 2: know Kamala Harris. They don't know her, they don't know
- 0:53Speaker 2: who she is, they don't know what she's about, and
- 0:58Speaker 2: she says it's not fair that people are asking her
- 1:01Speaker 2: to talk about policy issues. People are still just getting
- 1:06Speaker 2: to know her as a person. That's what they gotta do.
- 1:11Speaker 2: She says, especially white women, they really don't know a
- 1:15Speaker 2: whole lot about her, and it's a double standard, and
- 1:18Speaker 2: they're trying to figure this whole thing out and this
- 1:22Speaker 2: was on a pot. Now I mentioned some of her
- 1:24Speaker 2: comments already this week because she's part of this group
- 1:27Speaker 2: that's still saying how dangerous Trump is. That's part of
- 1:31Speaker 2: the narrative. Of course, that's led to now two people
- 1:35Speaker 2: that wanted to kill him. There's more than that want
- 1:37Speaker 2: to kill him, right, There's more than that they want
- 1:39Speaker 2: to There's two that have you know, made that extra
- 1:43Speaker 2: effort if you don't count the mob of people that
- 1:46Speaker 2: tried to get into the White House and you know,
- 1:49Speaker 2: set the church on fire and all that, But no
- 1:54Speaker 2: comments about that really much. I feel like January sixth
- 1:57Speaker 2: gets talked about a whole lot more, you know, as
- 2:01Speaker 2: an insurrection incident then you know, trying to kill a
- 2:04Speaker 2: sitting president, you know, and burning the church down and
- 2:08Speaker 2: then he came outside and people got mad at him
- 2:10Speaker 2: because they used you know, some sort of crowd deterrent
- 2:15Speaker 2: to get those people away so that he could go
- 2:17Speaker 2: into that church. But anyway, and I know I probably
- 2:21Speaker 2: talk about that more than than anyone else on the planet,
- 2:24Speaker 2: but I just feel like, if we're going to play
- 2:26Speaker 2: insurrection games, we should talk about, you know, trying to
- 2:28Speaker 2: kill a sitting president with an angry mob of people.
- 2:32Speaker 2: So Hillary Clinton went on a this show Kara Swishers
- 2:39Speaker 2: on with Kara Swisher Podcast, and she basically said, you know,
- 2:46Speaker 2: talking about the double standard that comes from voters in
- 2:50Speaker 2: the media concerning policy, she said, in fact, she's put
- 2:54Speaker 2: out policies on her campaign website. Anybody who's truly interested
- 2:59Speaker 2: can go and rea about them. She referenced policies. She
- 3:03Speaker 2: actually doesn't just have policies and concepts. She has plans
- 3:06Speaker 2: about what to do. And I think that's what people
- 3:10Speaker 2: want to hear, right, you know, when you run for president,
- 3:15Speaker 2: it's it's a bit of a job application process. That's
- 3:19Speaker 2: the way it should work. And see, she skipped all
- 3:23Speaker 2: of the job application process. Really. She basically had the
- 3:29Speaker 2: you know, the nepotism or cronyism angle of like, I
- 3:32Speaker 2: know somebody who can just jump me to the head.
- 3:36Speaker 2: I don't have to turn in the resume. I don't
- 3:39Speaker 2: actually have to do the interviews. I just show up
- 3:43Speaker 2: for the final you know, be one of the two finalists,
- 3:46Speaker 2: and then they'll pick one of us. That's what I
- 3:49Speaker 2: get to do, the fast track on it. I don't
- 3:51Speaker 2: have to go through, you know, filling out a cover
- 3:54Speaker 2: letter and making a resume, putting all that together, getting
- 3:59Speaker 2: that updated. I don't have to prep for an interview.
- 4:02Speaker 2: I don't have to sit down and talk to people.
- 4:05Speaker 2: I don't have to go in look somebody in the eye,
- 4:08Speaker 2: answer hard questions. I don't have to do that. I
- 4:12Speaker 2: just get to show up right at the end, and then,
- 4:16Speaker 2: you know, decide that people get to pick between me
- 4:19Speaker 2: and one other person. That's it. That's the whole process
- 4:22Speaker 2: that she's managed to work out for herself. And she
- 4:26Speaker 2: says that people are only just now getting to know her.
- 4:29Speaker 2: They don't know who she is. She says, I think
- 4:33Speaker 2: it's you know, it's a double standard, and it's double
- 4:36Speaker 2: standard that it's partly because they are still getting to
- 4:39Speaker 2: know her, but also because they're still grappling with the
- 4:42Speaker 2: idea like, oh am I really going to vote for
- 4:45Speaker 2: a woman to be president and commander in chief? Do
- 4:47Speaker 2: you sense any bitterness there? There's still some bitterness from
- 4:50Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. Feels like it's there. I mean, I get it,
- 4:54Speaker 2: I understand, you know, I think this whole you know,
- 5:00Speaker 2: I'm going to be president, and the best way for
- 5:03Speaker 2: me to get there is to help Trump get nominated strategy.
- 5:05Speaker 2: When that backfired, I would think that would certainly breed
- 5:09Speaker 2: some bitterness and anger. She said, this is particularly true.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Let's just say it and underline it about white women.
- 5:20Speaker 2: I think there's just a lot of hate and bitterness.
- 5:23Speaker 1: There isn't there.
- 5:23Speaker 2: It just seems kind of you know, doesn't that feel
- 5:30Speaker 2: These white women voters wouldn't push her across the finish line.
- 5:34Speaker 2: They didn't want to do it. Those are the ones
- 5:35Speaker 2: that ultimately got her, aren't they.
- 5:38Speaker 1: You know?
- 5:39Speaker 2: And I've said this before. I've got a friend who
- 5:41Speaker 2: is has a very senior mother, and he was telling
- 5:47Speaker 2: me that his mom, who voted a Democrat her entire life,
- 5:52Speaker 2: could not vote for Hillary Clinton in that election because
- 5:56Speaker 2: she believed that God did not want a woman to
- 6:00Speaker 2: be in charge, that she wanted man to be in charge.
- 6:03Speaker 2: So she voted for Donald Trump. And I know that
- 6:06Speaker 2: would be somebody else that Hillary Clinton would be really
- 6:08Speaker 2: nasty towards that would be you know, she'd find she'd
- 6:13Speaker 2: find a way to reference her, right, she'd find a
- 6:17Speaker 2: way to reference her in this podcast. So let's follow
- 6:21Speaker 2: with my analogy about a job interview. Let's follow with
- 6:24Speaker 2: my analogy about that whole process so Hillary Clinton is
- 6:28Speaker 2: basically saying, Okay, you jumped the line. You didn't have
- 6:31Speaker 2: to go through any of the actual vetting process to
- 6:37Speaker 2: get to the stage where you are going to be,
- 6:45Speaker 2: you know, go through the process of people actually getting
- 6:47Speaker 2: to know you. Then that's when they're supposed to get
- 6:49Speaker 2: to know you. So basically Hillary is saying, go to
- 6:56Speaker 2: her website, that's where her resume is. You can go
- 7:00Speaker 2: there and you can see and you shouldn't have to
- 7:07Speaker 2: ask her the questions to talk about it. So basically
- 7:15Speaker 2: she's saying that this process that was skipped is what's
- 7:21Speaker 2: happening now. It's important that everyone gets to know her.
- 7:27Speaker 2: So that's where that's where she's making this defense for
- 7:34Speaker 2: Kamala Harris. She's saying, now that she's gotten the nomination,
- 7:41Speaker 2: people need to get to know her. Now there's no
- 7:45Speaker 2: one voted for her. Now people really got to get
- 7:49Speaker 2: to know her. They gotta know who she is, they
- 7:52Speaker 2: gotta know what she's about. But they she shouldn't have
- 7:55Speaker 2: to say what she's about. They should go on the
- 7:58Speaker 2: page web and read what she's about. So and this
- 8:06Speaker 2: just kind of follows in with the assumption of what
- 8:08Speaker 2: I think we're all realizing is going on here. They
- 8:13Speaker 2: don't trust her to talk about these issues. They know
- 8:18Speaker 2: that if they hand a microphone over to her and say,
- 8:21Speaker 2: tell us about your policies and what you stand for,
- 8:26Speaker 2: she's going to say something contradictory to something she's already said.
- 8:31Speaker 2: She's going to say something stupid. She's going to explain
- 8:34Speaker 2: something to you like she thinks you're a child, and
- 8:37Speaker 2: not just that, she's going to explain it to you
- 8:40Speaker 2: like she thinks you're a child and that she's a child.
- 8:44Speaker 2: I have two very intelligent children. Okay, I'll give their
- 8:49Speaker 2: mom ninety percent credit for that. I'm fine with that.
- 8:53Speaker 2: This isn't me going, boy, my kids are smart. This
- 8:56Speaker 2: is just me saying I have very very blessed with
- 9:02Speaker 2: especially in the math apartment, with our kids. They're both
- 9:04Speaker 2: very skilled at math. So and I only mention that
- 9:09Speaker 2: because now they're you know, fifteen and twelve. But go
- 9:16Speaker 2: back a couple of years, go back two three years ago,
- 9:20Speaker 2: while Jake was still in middle school, Luke was still
- 9:24Speaker 2: in elementary school. Let's just go back to that point,
- 9:28Speaker 2: and Jake on the math team in middle school, Luke
- 9:31Speaker 2: on the math team in elementary school, and Jake was
- 9:36Speaker 2: able to sit down with Luke with some math problems
- 9:39Speaker 2: and things and sort of help coach him for math
- 9:41Speaker 2: competitions or for practices and things, and be able to say,
- 9:45Speaker 2: let me explain to you why this is what it is.
- 9:48Speaker 2: It's amazing. It's amazing to watch that happen with your children,
- 9:51Speaker 2: by the way, and I know we're not the only
- 9:53Speaker 2: people that have that. I can say this, and the
- 9:56Speaker 2: reason I think it's important for me to stress my
- 9:58Speaker 2: kids are really intelligent to say they're doing math at
- 10:02Speaker 2: a level that if I did math at that level,
- 10:05Speaker 2: I have no memory of it. I don't remember the
- 10:08Speaker 2: things that they're talking about. Luke knows not to come
- 10:11Speaker 2: to me and say, hey, Dad, can you explain this?
- 10:16Speaker 2: He goes to Jake, and Jake is able to explain
- 10:19Speaker 2: it to him in a way that they both are
- 10:21Speaker 2: able to discuss it back and forth intelligently. That's not
- 10:26Speaker 2: what we have with Kamala Harris explaining anything to anyone.
- 10:30Speaker 2: When she tried to explain what the war between Russia
- 10:34Speaker 2: and Ukraine, what the invasion was, she was explaining it
- 10:39Speaker 2: like she was explaining it to a child, but as
- 10:41Speaker 2: a child who didn't understand it. That's what they're afraid of.
- 10:46Speaker 2: They don't want her to explain her policies because they're
- 10:50Speaker 2: terrified of her getting exposed. They were terrified of Joe
- 10:55Speaker 2: Biden getting exposed four years ago if he was out
- 11:01Speaker 2: enough and talking enough and having enough actual legitimate press
- 11:06Speaker 2: conferences and not virtual ones where all the questions were
- 11:10Speaker 2: very clearly predetermined and he had answers all stuck around
- 11:15Speaker 2: his keyboard or maybe somebody just holding up cards for
- 11:18Speaker 2: him to read. They were worried we were gonna find
- 11:23Speaker 2: out four years ago that he had cognition problems, that
- 11:28Speaker 2: he had serious issues with his memory, with his recall,
- 11:34Speaker 2: with his ability to speak intelligently about things, with his
- 11:39Speaker 2: diarrhea of the mouth. I mean known for just saying
- 11:44Speaker 2: things that would make people cringe throughout his career, and
- 11:49Speaker 2: people just always look past them. But you never knew
- 11:52Speaker 2: when the next one was going to come out, and
- 11:53Speaker 2: he did a couple of those during the campaign. But
- 11:56Speaker 2: you had people that said, we hate Trump so much
- 12:00Speaker 2: that we have got to get rid of him, so
- 12:02Speaker 2: we'll vote for anybody. And that's where we are again.
- 12:06Speaker 2: With Kamala Harris. You got people saying you know, don't
- 12:10Speaker 2: just lay low. Keep your head down. It's the old like.
- 12:14Speaker 2: You know, you're functioning in a game of whack a mole,
- 12:19Speaker 2: and you're one of the moles, and if you stick
- 12:21Speaker 2: your head up, it's gonna get whacked. So just keep
- 12:24Speaker 2: your head down. You know, there's one hundred percent the
- 12:28Speaker 2: moles that never poke their head up and whack the
- 12:31Speaker 2: mole are the ones that never get whacked. They never
- 12:34Speaker 2: once get whacked. There's zero points against them because they
- 12:40Speaker 2: don't pop their head up. Okay, So that's what they're
- 12:44Speaker 2: telling her to do. And that's what this whole message
- 12:47Speaker 2: from Hillary Clinton is. It's like, we have to beat him.
- 12:52Speaker 2: I couldn't beat him. Maybe you could. You couldn't have
- 12:55Speaker 2: beaten him if you'd run a normal campaign. Biden probably
- 12:58Speaker 2: couldn't have beaten him if you'd run normal campaign. This time,
- 13:02Speaker 2: we don't have the advantage of COVID, and let's be honest,
- 13:06Speaker 2: it was a huge advantage for Biden. No matter what
- 13:09Speaker 2: you think about the ballots that were turned in, you
- 13:14Speaker 2: have to at least acknowledge the fact that COVID was
- 13:19Speaker 2: part of the strategy to get Biden in the White House.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Whether you believe that the actual election results were true,
- 13:29Speaker 2: whether you believe there was cheating or there wasn't cheating,
- 13:33Speaker 2: whether you believe that, like, I know for a fact,
- 13:37Speaker 2: I know of at least one person who did not
- 13:40Speaker 2: cast a vote in a state that they do not
- 13:43Speaker 2: live in, but someone cast a vote on their behalf
- 13:47Speaker 2: for Biden and they would not have voted for Joe,
- 13:50Speaker 2: but they didn't vote for Joe Biden in the state
- 13:52Speaker 2: where they currently live. So I know that that happened
- 13:56Speaker 2: to at least one person. That's just my sample side.
- 14:00Speaker 2: I probably know other people who are related to people
- 14:03Speaker 2: that that happened to. So and sure, there's always going
- 14:08Speaker 2: to be issues with that. There's always going to be
- 14:11Speaker 2: people sneaking around, there's always going to be people trying
- 14:13Speaker 2: to undermine things. COVID was a breeding ground of opportunities
- 14:18Speaker 2: for that.
- 14:18Speaker 1: But even if you.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Believe that we had an exact fair number of votes
- 14:23Speaker 2: that were cast compared to the intended number of people,
- 14:26Speaker 2: that it wasn't dead people. It wasn't you want to believe.
- 14:29Speaker 2: You want to believe that people weren't harvesting ballots and
- 14:32Speaker 2: filling them out for other people who weren't going to vote.
- 14:35Speaker 2: If you believe that none of that sort of stuff
- 14:38Speaker 2: had an impact on the outcome of the election, you
- 14:40Speaker 2: have to believe that COVID was a viable strategy for
- 14:44Speaker 2: getting Biden in. They don't have COVID this time as
- 14:48Speaker 2: something to fall back on. What they do have is
- 14:52Speaker 2: people don't know her and she's been the vice president
- 14:57Speaker 2: for three and a half years. Why don't they know
- 14:59Speaker 2: who she is? It is why don't they know what
- 15:01Speaker 2: she's about? When she's had opportunities to explain who she
- 15:05Speaker 2: is and what she's about in the past, she's told
- 15:08Speaker 2: them the opposite of the few things that she has
- 15:10Speaker 2: told them. Now it's a whack them all game. Keep
- 15:14Speaker 2: your head down. That's the strategy that Hillary Clinton laid
- 15:17Speaker 2: out in this podcast. Keep your head down and you
- 15:21Speaker 2: do not get whacked in the head. And that's how
- 15:24Speaker 2: you beat Donald Trump. That is the strategy right now.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Because last time it was COVID, this time it was
- 15:32Speaker 2: Biden's bad debate. We're gonna let you skip to the
- 15:35Speaker 2: front of the line. Today's show brought to you by
- 15:37Speaker 2: Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center. Inspiring and
- 15:42Speaker 2: educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career
- 15:47Speaker 2: holders that really of all ages. I mean they do
- 15:51Speaker 2: it for school age kids as school age kids visit
- 15:54Speaker 2: the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do
- 15:57Speaker 2: it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
- 16:03Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
- 16:07Speaker 2: right now. And you can learn more about maybe getting
- 16:11Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
- 16:18Speaker 2: also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got
- 16:21Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the schwob School
- 16:25Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
- 16:28Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
- 16:33Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
- 16:35Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
- 16:39Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
- 16:44Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
- 16:48Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
- 16:51Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows
- 16:56Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
- 16:59Speaker 2: Where you can get outside sometimes you do it at
- 17:02Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
- 17:06Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
- 17:08Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events.
- 17:12Speaker 2: Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean
- 17:16Speaker 2: Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just
- 17:21Speaker 2: remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science
- 17:24Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
- 17:29Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
- 17:32Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
- 17:38Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
- 17:41Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
- 17:45Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
- 17:49Speaker 2: care of square in that away for you, and while
- 17:50Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
- 17:53Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
- 17:56Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't what you
- 18:00Speaker 2: want it to be and you need some repair work
- 18:02Speaker 2: done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand
- 18:05Speaker 2: new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when
- 18:09Speaker 2: your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort
- 18:12Speaker 2: of insulation issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather,
- 18:16Speaker 2: sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're
- 18:19Speaker 2: looking at a situation where you'd like to add a
- 18:22Speaker 2: screen door to your garage door system that you can
- 18:25Speaker 2: put down and you can use your garage space as
- 18:28Speaker 2: a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you
- 18:31Speaker 2: like to work on your own cars in there, or
- 18:33Speaker 2: maybe you just want a little man cavid, you'd like
- 18:36Speaker 2: to be able to open the door up and not
- 18:37Speaker 2: invite all the insects in. They can do that for
- 18:40Speaker 2: you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
- 18:43Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
- 18:45Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
- 18:49Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
- 18:52Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,
- 18:55Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O
- 18:59Speaker 2: DC column dot Com more West Carrol Morning Show right
- 19:03Speaker 2: after the break. Probably not a big surprise to find
- 19:15Speaker 2: that if life in general is stressing you out, whether
- 19:20Speaker 2: it's the current state of the election, whether it's finances,
- 19:27Speaker 2: which kind of ties into the election. Of course life
- 19:30Speaker 2: in general. If stress is getting to you, you are
- 19:32Speaker 2: not alone, at least not. According to a new survey
- 19:35Speaker 2: that finds forty one percent of Americans are currently reaching
- 19:38Speaker 2: their peak stress levels, thirty eight percent of those surveys
- 19:42Speaker 2: said twenty twenty four has been more stressful than twenty
- 19:46Speaker 2: twenty three. The biggest source of stress this year, according
- 19:50Speaker 2: to respondents, are finances, the economy kind of all related
- 19:55Speaker 2: in some way, isn't it? Their physical health and the
- 19:58Speaker 2: twenty twenty four presidential election, as well as other world
- 20:02Speaker 2: issues thrown in there at the end that kind of
- 20:04Speaker 2: encompasses other things. I don't know, maybe the fact that
- 20:07Speaker 2: we're headed towards World War three. Despite the high stress levels,
- 20:11Speaker 2: forty five percent of respondents said they have never taken
- 20:14Speaker 2: a mental health day or sick day from work due
- 20:18Speaker 2: to stress. I'm going to tell you right now, if
- 20:23Speaker 2: it's feasible for you to do so, and you're experiencing
- 20:27Speaker 2: high stress and you're not going to get a whole
- 20:29Speaker 2: lot of horrible repercussions from your employer, I encourage the
- 20:34Speaker 2: mental health day. It's not a bad thing to take
- 20:38Speaker 2: the mental health day. Now obviously, if you're going to
- 20:40Speaker 2: get in trouble, you're going to lose your job. I'm
- 20:42Speaker 2: not giving you that kind of advice. I'm telling you
- 20:45Speaker 2: that if you work in an environment where you're able
- 20:47Speaker 2: to take a sick day for mental health, and you're
- 20:51Speaker 2: able to, you know, continue to get your work done
- 20:54Speaker 2: around that and just take a day off and just
- 20:57Speaker 2: take a break from it. And I know some people think,
- 21:00Speaker 2: I think a mental health day is not going to
- 21:02Speaker 2: be productive because they will then be working to recover
- 21:07Speaker 2: from the work that they missed, and then they need
- 21:10Speaker 2: more of a mental health day. But if it's if
- 21:13Speaker 2: it makes sense for you, I encourage it. Okay, it's
- 21:15Speaker 2: not a bad thing to occasionally take a mental health day.
- 21:19Speaker 2: I know we're taught don't take sick days. You know
- 21:22Speaker 2: it's kind of go to work sick. Just do it.
- 21:26Speaker 2: Mental health is important and we need it, especially when
- 21:29Speaker 2: things are stressful, and especially when we're in this current
- 21:31Speaker 2: political climate that we're all wading through, even crawling through.
- 21:37Speaker 2: Like Andy Dufraine, you know, sorry, I don't want to
- 21:41Speaker 2: spoil any movies for you, but if you know it,
- 21:42Speaker 2: you know what I'm talking about. All Right, let's talk
- 21:45Speaker 2: about ozempic wegovy. Those drugs have certainly transformed the weight
- 21:50Speaker 2: loss industry, and now things are shaking up again because
- 21:53Speaker 2: scientists are working on turning those popular weight loss injections
- 21:57Speaker 2: into pills. The pills current in the final stages of
- 22:02Speaker 2: testing promise to make weight loss easier and less costly.
- 22:06Speaker 2: Plus they say they could help with long term weight maintenance.
- 22:10Speaker 2: The downside, of course, there's always a downside. Doctor's warned
- 22:14Speaker 2: there's a higher risk of misuse with patients either taking
- 22:17Speaker 2: more than they're supposed to or sharing those weight loss
- 22:21Speaker 2: pills with others. That's where it gets complicated, right, But
- 22:25Speaker 2: that could be done with any of our pills, right.
- 22:27Speaker 2: I mean, it's possible for any pill that you get,
- 22:30Speaker 2: you share with somebody else, or you take too many
- 22:33Speaker 2: of them and then there's problems. So you know, all
- 22:37Speaker 2: that has to be done with a grain of salt.
- 22:39Speaker 2: I suppose imagine picking up your phone and not just
- 22:43Speaker 2: seeing or hearing someone on the other end, but also
- 22:46Speaker 2: smelling them. What if it's Shannon Sharp's phone. I'm sorry,
- 22:51Speaker 2: that's the I shouldn't have gone there. That's a different
- 22:54Speaker 2: that's a different topic for a different show. You know,
- 22:57Speaker 2: you just gotta be careful. Signs are working on making
- 23:01Speaker 2: the sci fi dream of being able to smell with
- 23:05Speaker 2: a digital scent technology available to people. The tech uses
- 23:11Speaker 2: scent cartridges that mix like pixels basically on the screen
- 23:16Speaker 2: and create a variety of smells. While it's still in
- 23:19Speaker 2: the early stages, the idea is that one day you'll
- 23:21Speaker 2: not only be able to hear and see your friend
- 23:24Speaker 2: at their birthday dinner, but you'll also maybe be able
- 23:26Speaker 2: to smell the birthday cake or the food on the
- 23:29Speaker 2: table or whatever. Shannon Sharp was no, no, I'm sorry.
- 23:35Speaker 2: I you know, it's just that's what I fear is
- 23:38Speaker 2: it's not the good things with the technology. I fear
- 23:43Speaker 2: the bad things with the technology. That's where I tend
- 23:46Speaker 2: to go, you know, like, wouldn't it be nice? I
- 23:49Speaker 2: guess I just need to get the whole Shannon Sharp
- 23:51Speaker 2: thing out of my head. What you have to do,
- 23:53Speaker 2: and I've been trying, believe me. What you have to
- 23:56Speaker 2: do is you have to think about what if you
- 23:57Speaker 2: could have coffee, you know, with a or a loved one.
- 24:01Speaker 2: Maybe you have a parent that lives on the other
- 24:04Speaker 2: side of the world, and you want to sit down
- 24:06Speaker 2: and have coffee with them, and you'd like to be
- 24:09Speaker 2: able to smell their coffee or whatever pastry they're having
- 24:12Speaker 2: in a coffee shop. Wouldn't that be lovely? And see,
- 24:16Speaker 2: I've taken a great concept like that and I've lumped
- 24:20Speaker 2: it into the whole Shannon Sharp thing. So you know
- 24:23Speaker 2: that's just there's good, the good side of knowing me,
- 24:27Speaker 2: and then there's that side of it, and I'm sorry
- 24:30Speaker 2: sometimes that's just where I am. That'll do it for
- 24:33Speaker 2: this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors
- 24:35Speaker 2: and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back
