  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: your day and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Thursday morning, fifteenth day of May. I'm Wes, thanks for
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: joining me. I know I spent a lot of time
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: talking about Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues yesterday. I acknowledge it.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I did it. Yes I admitted to being a Salmahaiak fan.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I've denied that to no one. Love to have her
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: on the show. How do we get Salmahayak on the show?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Let's figure that out. Let's figure out. I was hoping
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: when she got cast in Marvel's which one of those
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: movies was she in, she would be have an opportunity
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: for her to hit the convention scene. I was hoping, man,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: maybe she'll be at one of the conventions that I'm covering.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: But no, that didn't happen. We never got that never
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: happened with seal Mich. I acknowledge I spent a lot
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: of time talking about that yesterday, and I still say
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: good for her, right, good for her that she's on
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the cover of the Swimsuit Issue. I wanted to This
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: is a sports kind of topic because there's a couple
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: of things that have happened this week in sports, and
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I just want to touch on this quickly or maybe
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know, we'll see how long we talk about it.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: But obviously really big news this week that Pete Rose
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and others have been reinstated for eligibility into the Hall
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: of Fame. One of the great tragedies was that someone
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: like Pete Rose wasn't They couldn't get this done for
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: him while he was still alive. And I know that
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: there's mixed feelings on this. There's some people who say
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the guy was so good that he should have been eligible,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and then of course there's the people saying, look, he
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: got caught gambling. He wouldn't really give him the apology
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: that they wanted. And you know, by the time he
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: was actually willing to admit any of it, it was
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: too late. You know. It was just it was tough,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: hard for them to make those decisions. I did feel
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: like this was coming at some stage once he passed away.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I know that President Trump was one of the people saying, look,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: it's time to get this done. Why hasn't this already happened?
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: So and I don't think Rose did any himself. Any
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: favors were I don't know that everybody's really going to
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: remember some of the stuff that happened, But he did
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: not do himself any favors over the years where they were,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: you know, discussions about maybe he could become eligible again.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: But at least we've gotten there. So now that has happened,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: shoeless Joe Jackson also goes away from the ineligible list
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: that you know, Chicago Black Sox I thing. So anyway,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: so that's happened this week, and you know, it's just
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: it's just one of those things where you kind of
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: say that it feels better in the aftermath. I mean,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: it feels wrong in the aftermath of his death, but
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: it feels like maybe if you were really trying to
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: punish him, and the rewording was that he was banned
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: for life, there you go. But Rose, ten days before
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: he died, said I've come to the conclusion I hope
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I'm wrong. I'll make the Hall of Fame after I die,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: which I totally disagree with because the Hall of Fame
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: is for two reasons, your fans and your family. It's
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: for it's for your family if you're here, it's for
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: your fans. If you're not here, and not if you're
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: ten feet under. They bury people in ten feet I
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: thought it was six anyway. I don't know. I thought
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: it was always They always said six at least whatever
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: it is, So he called it. That was just less
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: than two weeks before he died. He made that call,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and I mean, he's not wrong, but again, I don't
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: think he did himself any over the years with the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: things that he said and some of the things, of
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: course that he did. So here we go this week
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: officially Pete Rose, shootless, Joe Jackson, and I guess twelve
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: others on that list of players that are players, and
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I guess there was an owner in the list as well.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Former Phillies owner William Cox come off of the ineligible list.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: So this doesn't mean that they're in the Hall of Fame.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: It just means they would be eligible should the committee decide, right,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: So that's that they don't meet again. The Classic Baseball
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Era Committee is the once for players at least fifteen
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: years after their careers ended, so they won't meet again
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: until December of twenty twenty seven, so that's the earliest
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: this could actually really play out. So the other thing
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: that's happened this week as well. Is it relates to
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the NBA. And I'll talk a lot about the NBA.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not. When I was a kid, a lot of
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: my friends played basketball. In high school, I followed it.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: My older brother was a big basketball fan. He played,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: My younger brother played. I played soccer. My younger brother
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and I played soccer, but he also played basketball. That
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: was my sport in high school. I watched the NBA.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I followed it. It was a different era of basketball
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: than what BASKETA. It's just the game's very different. Now.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I enjoy college basketball quite a bit. I like to watch,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: but I only I mean I watched some during the season,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: follow certain teams. But for the most part, the most
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: interesting aspect of all of it, certainly is you know,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: you get into the march madness, you get into the tournament.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: That's when it's most interesting thing. And I'll follow it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Then I'll watch a lot of games. Then I have
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: a thirteen year old who likes whatever sport is current,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: he's all in, and when it comes to the NCAA tournament,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: he watches as much as he can. He's into the
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: NBA playoffs right now because that's what's on, that's what's available,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: and then when it's over, you know, he moves on
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: to whatever the next sport is once it gets really interesting.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Now he does follow baseball during all of the season,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: but in football, you know, we're in the Southeast, people
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: follow football year round in some capacity, although nil deals
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: have made it a lot less interesting. But the reason
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: that I'm bringing up the NBA today is because of
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: this this thing that the NBA decided to do years
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: ago where they basically said, rather than doing what most
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: teams do or what most sports, where you say, we're
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: gonna have we have our annual draft, and we're gonna
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: say that the team with the worst record gets the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: first overall pick in the draft. Now, sometimes there's these
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: things where you know, you have these ties and they
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: have to have tie breakers. That happens in the NFL
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: sometimes strength of schedule and head to head and all
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: these things that come out to tie breakers and it
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: decides the overall positioning where you're gonna pick in the draft.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: And for some reason, and that, by the way, that's well,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: you know, that's what football's done forever. You go, yep,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: and I get that. There's this thing where the NBA
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: doesn't want teams trying to tank to get players. I
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: guess that's the reasoning behind it. But at some point
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the NBA, this was many years ago, decided what we're
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: gonna start doing is we're gonna make it's a lottery system,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: like you got a better chance of getting the first
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: overall pick, but it doesn't guarantee that you're gonna get it.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: You got a good, you know, pretty good chance of it.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: But some of the teams that also finish, you know,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: close to the bottom, will also get an opportunity to
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: maybe you win this lottery, this draft lottery. And I
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: could remember way back when thinking, I guess you kind
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: of get what they're going for. But it's one of
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: those things that certainly creates a situation where you're kind
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: of begging the conspiracy theorists to jump in, right. You
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: got these people that will see it and go this
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: seems a bit suspicious, doesn't seem like it's on the
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: up and up, doesn't seem fair. Okay, this is relevant
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: to politics and talks conversation topics of the day that
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: we normally talk about on the show for a few reasons.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: But I'll quickly mention I'll go back to that, but
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: just there's things that we do sometimes that really just
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: beg the conspiracy people to come out to just stick
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: their heads up out of the old whack a moles.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: They pop their heads up, they say what they got
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: to say. Just a number of things that don't go well,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: for like saying we're going to release all of these
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: JFK files and the RFK files and the MLK. We're
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: going to do all that, right, and then they get
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: a bunch of redacted stuff, or they say we're going
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: to release the Epstein list and then a lot of
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: it is redacted, and you go, wait a minute, are
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: we getting the info or not? What are we not seeing?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Who's still being protected? And it's certainly creates this dynamic
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: for some controversy. We see it in politics a lot.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: We see it all the time and you go, wait
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: a minute, what is this going to happen or is
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: not going to happen? Are we going to get the list?
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Are we not going to get who? Still like? We
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: want truth? We deserve the truth. And I think we
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: see this play out a lot in politics. Anyway, back
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: to the NBA, So if you haven't been following it
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: they had the season. There was a point in the
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: season where Luka Doncic, who played for the Dallas Mavericks,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: one of the high profile I mean, arguably just a
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: few years ago, you would go and this is one
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: of the best players in the league. He's fantastic, he's great,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: he carries this this team. He went to the Dallas
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Mavericks right when they needed him. He was the guy
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: that came in. They had Dirk Davitski, won a championship
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: beat Lebron James, and you go, all right, well, now
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: here comes here comes Luca, and you know he was
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: the guy, the fan favorite. Everybody thought, this is this
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: is the guy, this is who you know, Dallas will
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: have him there until the very end of his career. Well,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: it was a stunning trade that happened not too long
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: ago in this NBA season where suddenly this announcement the
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Mavericks had traded Luka Doncic to the Lakers. I understand
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: there's a number of NBA teams and franchises. There are
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: two that are dripping with history, Celtics and the Lakers.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I understand the Knicks have history, I get that, but
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: there's two high profile teams at Philadelphia. I'm not discounting
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: any of these other teams. I'm just pointing out the
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: fact that you have the Celtics, you have the Lakers.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: They are the two teams. They're the ones that Celtics
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: have one more championship than the Lakers. They both have
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: way more than everybody else. Just the reality of it.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: So the fact that this unbelievably talented, high profile player
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: was traded to the Lakers was obviously big news. What
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: has just happened. The general manager of the team even said,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: I didn't realize how attached to this guy our fans were.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: You got to be just a complete idiot if that's
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: really your stance. Nico Harrison, the GM's name. He basically
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: was like, I didn't know. I think anybody who followed
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: basketball on any capacity is fully well aware of the
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: fact that that's the jersey that you saw more of
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: in the stadium. That's the guy that everybody loved. They
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: went to the NBA Finals a year ago against the
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Celtics and lost, and they got there largely because of Luca.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: So he goes to the Lakers. I think there's a
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: lot of speculation that this was going to really help
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the Lakers. This was going to be the thing to
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: boost them, and it did. It gave him a real
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: run at things, and they finished somewhere kind of middle
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: of the pack in the West, but were knocked out
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: in the first round of the playoffs. So he's gone
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: on from Dallas, and there's all this, well, Dallas, what
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: are they gonna do? You know, they're trying to do
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: this rebuild or whatever it is that you think they're
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: they're going to try to pull off. Well, then this
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: week they have the draft lottery, and in this amazing
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: like with like a one point two percent chance of
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: them getting the first overall pick, the Dallas Mavericks win
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: the lottery and get the first overall pick. And there's
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: one guy that everybody's clan one point eight percent chance. Sorry,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I want to get the stats right. Uh, there's one guy,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: uh Cooper Flag from Duke. Everybody wants this guy. He's
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: the guy. He's the pick that everybody wants this year.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know if there's any teams that would not
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: take him. Just one of those very diverse big man players,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: similar to Luca, similar to Novitzky. He's one of those
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: guys and everybody wanted him, and now the Dallas Mavericks
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: somehow get him, and there's a lot of talk about
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: up it's rigged controversy. Here we go, it's rigged, and
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: then of course you got the people saying no, no, no,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: it's not rigged. There's a system in place to keep
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: it from being rigged. And I can't help but go
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: back to much like the political question, why would you
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: create this dynamic where this could possibly play out this way?
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: And there's been a number of seasons where the team
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: that seemed like they were going to get the pick
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: didn't get the pick, but it wasn't a hey, I
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: got a one point eight percent chance to jump up
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: here and grab the top overall pick, and that's the
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: way it played out. So in this decision to go
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: with this, they've created something that could ultimately hurt their audience.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: It could make people say it doesn't seem right, because
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: it doesn't nothing about it seems right. And again, to
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: sports leagues, to businesses, to people doing public relations, to
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: people in politics, if you're creating a creating a dynamic
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: where if it goes a certain way, you're going to
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: hear from the conspiracy theory people. Is it fair? I
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: don't know, and probably in many cases it's not. But
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: if you're going to say, hey, we're going to release
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: these Epstein files, there needs to be something there for people,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: because if there's nothing there, you're just going to feed
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: the conspiracy theories. If you're going to prosecute a high
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: profile entertainer and say these people have done this horrible
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: thing and we're going to make sure that they pay
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: for what they did, you need to know you probably
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: have a pretty good case. You need to know you're
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: probably going to win it. And it can't be a
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: situation where you're going to go, we're probably going to
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: be able to win this thing, and then you don't,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: and then people say, eh, they're just getting off because
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: they're famous. Sometimes there has to be a justice that
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: plays out. So you have to put yourself in a
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: position where you got the best chance of it being
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: something that's going to seem fair. See, that's one of
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: the things we've seen that happened in America. Fairness seems
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: to have gone away, and there's a lot of people
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: that are saying, well, we're looking for this equity. We're
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: not necessarily looking for equality. We're looking for the same
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: outcome we're looking for. We want to have members of
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: like a city government, people or even in many cases,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: we got people in Congress ready to get in fist fights,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: got to get in their faces at the gasoline stations.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: We got to go in and attack people of police,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: ice officers, law enforcement, attack them at a camp where
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: people are being held, at a prison, We're going to start,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: whether they're pushing or body slamming or punching or whatever
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: it is. And I think American people are saying, we
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: just want what's fair. If I attacked a member of
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: law enforcement, I would be prosecuted for it. Yet you know,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: elected officials can do it and say, well, we're doing
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: in the name of what's just for these people that
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: are being held because they're criminals. But we're fighting for
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: the rights of those criminals. And that's one of those
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: things that American people right now are still saying, we
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: just want what's fair. We just watched a candidate for
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: president have to defend himself in multiple court cases and
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: potentially more court cases because they didn't want him to run.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: They were trying to keep him out of the White House.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: You can say all you want to, we were really
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: trying to build a case against Trump because of what's
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: fair and what's right. No, you were doing it for
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: political reasons. You created a dynamic where you put yourself
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: in a position where people with common sense could look
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: at it and go, oh, you were just trying to
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: keep him from a president. That's all you were trying
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: to do. You weren't try to do what was right.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: You weren't trying to do what was fair. You weren't
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: trying to actually get justice. There's a lot more people
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: in the country that deserves some justice for much worse things.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: So follow this as an example, and dar NBA, maybe
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: you want to think about going back to just saying, hey,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: the worst team gets the first pick. I know you
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: don't want people tanking. The tanking thing, it still gives
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: you a better chance in the lottery of having a
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: better chance of getting the pick. I get it. But
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: believe me, speaking as a fan of an NFL team
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: that was told boy, they're tanking to try to get
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: a better pick in the draft, and then they won
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: a game and people say, why aren't they tanking more?
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: They should be tanking more. People are going to tank.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: It's going to happen, but you've created a dynamic where
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: you're begging the conspiracy theorists to have a voice, have
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: a megaphone and probably a valid case. Today's show brought
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: to you by Columbus State Universities Coca Space Science Center.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Where as we inch our way a little bit closer
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: into those summer months, you're going to start looking ahead
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: for things for your family to do, your kids to do,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: to keep them engage, keep their minds in a school

• 19:32
  Speaker 2: you got a staycation that's going to be happening and
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: you're not going to be traveling. Maybe you've got family
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: coming into the area from other places and you want
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: to find some things for them to do well. This
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: is one of those things to do, and as we

  Speaker 2: get into those warmer months. Of course, air conditioning is

  Speaker 2: lot of fun stuff just waiting for you there. But
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: actual NASA artifacts, parts of actual spacecraft that have been
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: to space or at least close to space, that have
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: been part of launching things into space, and you can
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: check all of that out at Columbus State Universities Coca

  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage door needs,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: square in that away for you, and while they're there,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done. To
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: you need some mighty to come help. And they do
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: the break, Well, there's a new trend where people are
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: booking trips to places that will force them to unplug.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: It's a digital detox. Uh. There's resorts specifically that offer
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: a no tech experience. There's no Wi Fi, no TVs
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: in the room. At one resort, guest devices are taken
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: at registration and kept in a safe, and people are
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: paying thousands of dollars a night for a digital dtox experience.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Booking sites even now listing that they have no Wi
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Fi as a selling point. So you use the internet
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: to book a resort at a place that will keep
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: you from using the Internet. I think about the panic
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: that could come from some people as they're trying to
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: detox and they're trying to adjust to all of it.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: At some point you could just hit this crazy panic
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: mode without all of it, and you think, are you're
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: gonna have to unlock the safe give it to me?
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: And do they not? I mean, what are they gonna do?
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: All right? We're still weeks away from the release of
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Nintendo Switch to in June, with the gaming console continuing
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: to make headlines. Sometimes they're good headlines, sometimes not so much.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Rumors were swirling that some of the billboards that appear
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: in Mario Kart World were created with AI. The criticism
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: got so loud with Nintendo enthusiasts that a spokesperson for
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Nintendo had to issue a statement saying AI generated images
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: were not used in the development of Mario Kart World.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: That's a strong denial with no wiggle room. We'll see
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: if it's enough to slow down all of the rumors.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: It's interesting that this has become sort of the thing
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: where people are drawing the line. It's like, Nope, we
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: are not going to tolerate if you used AI in
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: a part of this video game design where you could
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: have used a video game designer. How far will that go?
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: With many jobs using AI to do lots of things,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: many businesses cutting jobs so that AI can do lots
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: of things, it is interesting to me that it is
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: in these artistic type jobs, whether it's movies, different kinds
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: of animation, including video games, that people are saying no, no, no,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: this is where we draw the line. I would also
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: like to point out that there are a number of
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: sites that basically go through and they mine voices of
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: people and they put it into their AI and then
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: suddenly they are recreating content that sounds like other people
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: doing content whether it's podcast, whether it's voice work, any
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: of those things certainly making it easier to do that
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: with AI. So at what point is this line in
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: the sand going to be drawn and how far is
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: it going to go? It's an interesting point, but it's
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: interesting to me that this idea that no, we don't
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: want this little and let's be honest, I'm not belittling it,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: but if it's a little billboard in a race and
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Mario Kart that you go by that you're probably not
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: going to look at. I would think that's the kind
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: of thing that maybe AI was made for. I'm just saying,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying put somebody out of a job. I'm
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: not encouraging putting somebody out of a job. I'm just
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: pointing out the fact that that to me seems like
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: one of those minor things in the game that if
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: they were using AI to do it, that might be
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: kind of a thing that AI would be able to
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: do and kind of be justified. That's all I'm saying,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: and I'm not again I'm not taking the stand on it.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I am very much against AI taking jobs away. I
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: get that, but keep in mind, is a lot of
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: people been using that self checkout for a long time.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: That put people out of jobs and made a lot
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: of people some money off of thieven things because they
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: like to do that. Pretend they're scanning it, and are
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: they scanning that banana over and over again and anyway
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: instead of the steaks. So it's an interesting thing. This
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: is where we're drawing the line in the sand as
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: collectively as a society. Let's talk about Cheese It, the
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: frozen pizza you've heard about, Yeah, it's real cheese at
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Crackers teamed up with Palmero's Palermo's What did I say, Palmero,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I put the M in the wrong place. It's Polaimos
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: and they've created the Cheese It Frozen Pizza. The pizza
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: features a square twelve inch original cheese It flavor crust
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: and comes in three flavors Italian, four cheese, Pepperoni, cheddar
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Jack Supreme. And they're rolling them out into select stores
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: for now and they expect them to have a big
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: expansion for them in a big way by August. So
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: cheese It Frozen Pizzas teamed up with Polaimo's. I got
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: to write that time. So that's coming. That's a thing.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Get ready for it, and maybe you're in one of
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: those select cities already. All Right, that'll do it for
