Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carroll Morning Show.
0:12
Speaker 1: Thursday morning, October 1. Here we are, Burr month number two.
0:19
Speaker 1: First day of October.
0:24
Speaker 2: Working our way towards Burr month number three. That's when
0:29
Speaker 2: we're in the full swing of the holidays, aren't we?
0:32
Speaker 2: Once we get past Halloween. I saw a house. We
0:38
Speaker 2: were walking in the neighborhood yesterday, and we saw a
0:41
Speaker 2: house a little later than we normally walk in the evening,
0:44
Speaker 2: and we saw a house that had a Christmas tree up.
0:48
Speaker 2: I had not previously seen the Christmas tree up. I
0:52
Speaker 2: said good for them that they have it up. It
0:55
Speaker 2: was still September last night. Was it October until today?
1:00
Speaker 2: So they kind of got in there in the first
1:02
Speaker 2: Burr month. But I say good for them. And I
1:06
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe it's got some sort of, well, it
1:09
Speaker 2: wasn't a Halloween-type tree. It didn't have orange lights on
1:12
Speaker 2: it or black lights. I'm black lights, but black lights.
1:18
Speaker 2: That would be black lights, wouldn't it? It didn't seem
1:21
Speaker 2: like a spooky tree. It just seemed like a Christmas tree.
1:24
Speaker 2: It had all white lights on it, and we could
1:26
Speaker 2: see it. kind of on display. So, you know, good
1:30
Speaker 2: for them. The longer you want it up, the longer
1:32
Speaker 2: you want to enjoy it. I got no problems with that.
1:35
Speaker 2: I'm excited about it. Good. I'm not one of those
1:39
Speaker 2: people who thinks that there's Thanksgiving trees and Thanksgiving music
1:46
Speaker 2: when people go, why are they playing the Christmas music? Eh,
1:49
Speaker 2: whatever you want to listen to. The other day I
1:52
Speaker 2: was listening to some Irish folk music. And one of
1:57
Speaker 2: my boys was like, really? We're not even close to St.
2:00
Speaker 2: Patrick's Day. And it's like, can I enjoy this now?
2:04
Speaker 2: Why not? That's what I'm saying. That's all. They got
2:09
Speaker 2: way more St. Patrick's Day songs than we got Thanksgiving songs.
2:15
Speaker 2: And a lot of those songs we count as Halloween
2:16
Speaker 2: songs aren't even Halloween songs, really. And some of the
2:20
Speaker 2: Christmas songs aren't even Christmas songs. You know? It's just
2:25
Speaker 2: about riding in a sleigh or something. It doesn't have
2:28
Speaker 2: anything to do with Christmas. Some of them don't. Some
2:31
Speaker 2: of them do. Okay, it's a jingle bell. We get it.
2:37
Speaker 2: But it's October, so let's get on into it. It's
2:40
Speaker 2: going to cool down. Overall, this month, it's going to
2:44
Speaker 2: cool down. Let's feel good about that, shall we? A
2:47
Speaker 2: couple of things I want to address today. First and foremost,
2:52
Speaker 2: and I'm not, look, I'm not, this Cornell rape case,
3:00
Speaker 2: there's a lot of pieces here. I don't, I'm not
3:05
Speaker 2: necessarily like, this is one of those cases where like
3:08
Speaker 2: there's a, and this goes back to 2024. And there's
3:14
Speaker 2: a woman claims that her sexual activity that happened with
3:19
Speaker 2: her and what is it, seven members of a Cornell fraternity.
3:27
Speaker 2: And like the case, the way it's been handled from
3:31
Speaker 2: the very beginning, there's some questions, but. Allegations of a
3:35
Speaker 2: gang rape, allegations from their side, the men involved, the fraternity, men, boys,
3:44
Speaker 2: whatever they are. I mean, they're men at this point
3:46
Speaker 2: if they're in college. They should be if they're not
3:51
Speaker 2: Wormser from Revenge of the Nerds. So they say, no,
3:55
Speaker 2: this was something that she wanted to do. And questions
3:59
Speaker 2: about was she, had she been taking drugs or she
4:02
Speaker 2: had been taking drugs? Was she able to give consent?
4:04
Speaker 2: All these things. And look, this is not, I'm not
4:07
Speaker 2: coming into this hot as an expert on the case.
4:12
Speaker 2: Far from it. And I tell you when I don't
4:14
Speaker 2: know a lot about, like, I don't know the whole
4:17
Speaker 2: Lindsay Clancy thing or whatever her name is. I don't
4:19
Speaker 2: know all that. I don't pretend that I know all
4:23
Speaker 2: of that. Okay. I just don't. I can tell you
4:28
Speaker 2: takes on it and I can tell you a take
4:30
Speaker 2: on this particular case. And what I think is important
4:35
Speaker 2: that we all understand is there's a certain amount of
4:40
Speaker 2: information that we're able to take in on cases like this,
4:43
Speaker 2: these high profile cases. Yes, there is. There's a certain
4:46
Speaker 2: amount of information that we can take in on these cases.
4:50
Speaker 2: There's a certain amount of information that we don't know
4:53
Speaker 2: and we can't definitively know things about. certain aspects of
4:57
Speaker 2: these cases. It's just the reality of life. There's things
5:02
Speaker 2: that you can know and there's things that you can't
5:04
Speaker 2: know if you weren't there. So the people who come
5:06
Speaker 2: in and definitively know, no, no, no, those guys didn't
5:10
Speaker 2: rape that girl because dot, dot, dot. And then the
5:13
Speaker 2: people who say, no, no, no, they definitely raped her
5:16
Speaker 2: because of dot, dot, dot. Look, either way, you're coming
5:21
Speaker 2: into it with limited information unless you have the inside
5:24
Speaker 2: track on all of it. And I'm not going to
5:27
Speaker 2: be one of those people who has the definitive answer,
5:30
Speaker 2: in my opinion. What I want to tell you is this. Yesterday,
5:35
Speaker 2: I saw a number of people posting online that the
5:39
Speaker 2: entire fraternity should be hanged. Now, I know there's some
5:45
Speaker 2: hyperbole here, but I hope that's all it is. But
5:50
Speaker 2: coming from people who hate the amount of hyperbole our
5:53
Speaker 2: president has... and uses every day, it seems interesting to
5:59
Speaker 2: come into this and say that they all need to
6:01
Speaker 2: be hanged. And the argument from many is that the
6:05
Speaker 2: guys that were there in the frat house while this
6:08
Speaker 2: was happening should have stopped it. I think there's a
6:12
Speaker 2: case to be made for that. I do. I absolutely do.
6:19
Speaker 2: do they deserve the same accountability for things that were
6:22
Speaker 2: happening in a fraternity house if they didn't really know
6:24
Speaker 2: what was going on? That's another question, right? That's another
6:29
Speaker 2: layer to this. I think if we jump from the
6:32
Speaker 2: seven guys involved, we believe that they're guilty, but we
6:38
Speaker 2: don't know that they're guilty, but they should be hanged.
6:42
Speaker 2: That's a reach to me. Our criminal justice system It
6:46
Speaker 2: sometimes fails. I understand that. But we still have to
6:50
Speaker 2: use the system. And obviously, if someone is raped, horrible.
6:56
Speaker 2: Someone is gang raped, horrible. Any of those things would
7:00
Speaker 2: be horrible. But we have to have some sense of
7:06
Speaker 2: whatever the justice system carries out with this. And to
7:11
Speaker 2: jump from... I know for a fact this is what happened,
7:16
Speaker 2: and these other people had to have known for a
7:19
Speaker 2: fact what was happening. They all should be accountable, and
7:23
Speaker 2: they all should be hanged. We got a guy who
7:28
Speaker 2: basically was heavily involved in the creation of this COVID-19
7:37
Speaker 2: virus and covered up what he knew about it. told
7:41
Speaker 2: us ways to manage it and handle it that ultimately
7:45
Speaker 2: probably cost a lot of lives, reshaped an election, and
7:49
Speaker 2: there aren't even really people calling for him to be hanged.
7:52
Speaker 2: And millions of people died. So let's just keep that
7:56
Speaker 2: in mind, okay? Like, in a way, you think about
8:02
Speaker 2: the number of people who were, like, murdered— And people
8:07
Speaker 2: are saying, no, no, no, no, no. Guys that may
8:10
Speaker 2: have been in the fraternity house while this was happening
8:13
Speaker 2: and may have known what was going on in that
8:15
Speaker 2: room should be hanged. Not even definitively known, but may have.
8:23
Speaker 2: So that's how much of a reach we have on
8:27
Speaker 2: all of this. You're not helping the case. You're not
8:31
Speaker 2: helping the justice system. You're not helping anything by leaping
8:35
Speaker 2: that far with it. You can think you know what happened.
8:38
Speaker 2: You can believe that you know what happened. You don't.
8:42
Speaker 2: Chances are you don't unless you were a student at this,
8:46
Speaker 2: by the way, very, very far left Ivy League school
8:51
Speaker 2: where this kind of behavior was happening. And, of course,
8:54
Speaker 2: we get told all the time that this is the
8:55
Speaker 2: kind of behavior that only happens by other people that
9:01
Speaker 2: aren't far left liberal college fraternity guys. the other thing
9:06
Speaker 2: I want to talk about today is back to the
9:09
Speaker 2: subject of, uh, of AI. Um, we know that we've
9:15
Speaker 2: had these meetings, uh, that have taken place. We have had, um, uh,
9:22
Speaker 2: the president has met with some AI people. We've had
9:24
Speaker 2: AI people getting together. We've had these calls from the
9:27
Speaker 2: heads of these AI companies that are saying, look, what
9:31
Speaker 2: we need is the, um, We need the government to
9:38
Speaker 2: step in and tell us restrictions that we could put
9:45
Speaker 2: on our AI so that we could keep things under
9:47
Speaker 2: control or get things under control or all of this.
9:52
Speaker 2: And the questions that have been coming up are about– well,
9:57
Speaker 2: and this was the point that I tried to make
9:58
Speaker 2: a few days ago It's a question of if one
10:02
Speaker 2: country decides we're going to reel it in and keep
10:05
Speaker 2: it under control, and then you have companies that say, well,
10:08
Speaker 2: we don't want it kept under control, then they're going
10:11
Speaker 2: to go to another country where it's not going to
10:13
Speaker 2: be kept under control, and they're going to just let
10:15
Speaker 2: it get completely out of control. And this race that
10:19
Speaker 2: we're in concerning AI and its benefits and its implications
10:24
Speaker 2: on a number of levels, whether it is cybersecurity, whether
10:28
Speaker 2: it is defense, whether it is war, any of these things,
10:35
Speaker 2: or the power grids, any of this, if it can
10:40
Speaker 2: be utilized in a negative way on someone else... You
10:45
Speaker 2: basically have to be keeping up with each other. And
10:48
Speaker 2: right now, the U.S. is ahead. And as soon as
10:52
Speaker 2: you slip behind, it's very hard to catch up unless
10:55
Speaker 2: someone decides we're going to step in and make changes
10:59
Speaker 2: and slow it down. People like China are not doing that.
11:04
Speaker 2: This is not something that's going to take place in China.
11:06
Speaker 2: They're behind. They want to catch up. And no matter
11:09
Speaker 2: what we do, we're not going to enable... we're not
11:15
Speaker 2: going to be able to stay ahead if we slow
11:16
Speaker 2: things down. And we're not going to be able to
11:18
Speaker 2: stop them no matter what we do. And I likened
11:21
Speaker 2: it a little bit to the environment as we say, oh,
11:25
Speaker 2: carbon emissions, we have to keep our carbon emissions in check.
11:29
Speaker 2: And we have to make sure all of our allies
11:31
Speaker 2: keep carbon emissions in check and all these things. And
11:33
Speaker 2: then you say, well, China or India or any of
11:34
Speaker 2: these places, they're not doing that. And they're not going
11:38
Speaker 2: to do that. And they use that to get ahead
11:40
Speaker 2: of us because it's an easy way to get ahead
11:44
Speaker 2: of us. They don't have to follow the guidelines that
11:47
Speaker 2: we do because they can do whatever they want to
11:49
Speaker 2: do and they can do whatever they want to do
11:50
Speaker 2: when it comes to AI. Now let's jump to this
11:55
Speaker 2: story about what happened with this fly Dubai flight where
12:06
Speaker 2: a pilot, the co-pilot I guess, stabbed a pilot and
12:10
Speaker 2: was going to try to crash a plane and According
12:14
Speaker 2: to the reports, they were able to stop it. And
12:20
Speaker 2: the idea there was we're going to kill everybody on
12:23
Speaker 2: the plane. And you had someone who was inside the
12:27
Speaker 2: cockpit in the co-pilot. So all of these precautions have
12:31
Speaker 2: been put in place in airlines around the world to
12:35
Speaker 2: keep people out of cockpits that could possibly try to
12:38
Speaker 2: do this. Now, there were Americans on board. Sorry, I
12:42
Speaker 2: wanted to mention that too. I think there were four
12:44
Speaker 2: Americans on the plane. Yeah, four that were on this plane.
12:47
Speaker 2: And this was a Dubai to Tel Aviv flight. And
12:51
Speaker 2: that four Americans confirmed by the State Department. Okay, so
12:56
Speaker 2: precautions put in place. Cockpits lock. There's no opening and
13:00
Speaker 2: closing of the doors. I believe in planes now, the
13:05
Speaker 2: flight crew, like the pilots, when they have to on
13:07
Speaker 2: a long flight and they have to go to their
13:10
Speaker 2: rest cabins and quarters. All of that, I believe, takes
13:14
Speaker 2: place coming through an entry point inside the locked door
13:19
Speaker 2: on the cockpit. They don't have to go out into
13:20
Speaker 2: the plane. There's no access for people to get into
13:23
Speaker 2: the cockpit area. These are precautions that have been taking
13:27
Speaker 2: place all over the world. And now here's this. And
13:33
Speaker 2: the idea is that you don't want people to be killed.
13:35
Speaker 2: You don't want people to be used as hostages. You
13:38
Speaker 2: don't want pilots to be put in a situation where
13:41
Speaker 2: they have to make a decision, be killed, or someone
13:45
Speaker 2: be able to take control of the plane. And then
13:47
Speaker 2: here's a situation where you got someone who is already
13:49
Speaker 2: on the inside. They're in there and they want to
13:53
Speaker 2: do this. And I just bring this up because think
13:58
Speaker 2: of AI in this context. You could do all the
14:01
Speaker 2: things that you want to do. The entire world can say,
14:04
Speaker 2: we're going to do all the things that we want
14:06
Speaker 2: to do to prevent this horrible future that leads to
14:12
Speaker 2: Skynet and terminators and whatever, all of that, that you're,
14:17
Speaker 2: we're afraid of that. We don't, nobody wants to see happen.
14:20
Speaker 2: Computers and machines take over the world and we can
14:23
Speaker 2: put all of these things in place to stop that
14:27
Speaker 2: from happening, which is what a lot of the companies
14:31
Speaker 2: are asking that, well, let's, let's get some legislation in place.
14:34
Speaker 2: Let's keep it from getting out of control. So, all
14:38
Speaker 2: it takes is one incident. All it takes is one
14:41
Speaker 2: thing for something bad to happen. And I know this
14:45
Speaker 2: isn't an exact apples to apples comparison, but the point
14:48
Speaker 2: is precautions have been made. They've taken place all around
14:54
Speaker 2: the world to keep someone out of a cockpit to
14:58
Speaker 2: have intentions of trying to hurt people on an airplane.
15:01
Speaker 2: And yet somehow this happened. Someone gets in there From
15:06
Speaker 2: the inside, working from the inside, and is ready to
15:09
Speaker 2: do this unthinkable thing that we've seen happen before. I mean,
15:14
Speaker 2: people comparing it to the United 93. So that's how
15:24
Speaker 2: close it was to happening and killing all of the passengers,
15:28
Speaker 2: including four Americans. All it takes is that one case.
15:32
Speaker 2: All it takes is that one incident where you get
15:34
Speaker 2: one person in there that's not following the guidelines, or
15:38
Speaker 2: one case of a breach of those guidelines. One case.
15:46
Speaker 2: That's where we are with AI. All it takes is
15:50
Speaker 2: one thing. So you either keep up with the trends,
15:53
Speaker 2: you keep up with your momentum, you keep up with
15:57
Speaker 2: trying to utilize it for defense. You utilize it for cybersecurity.
16:04
Speaker 2: You utilize it for the things that you want to
16:06
Speaker 2: prevent people from doing to you. Sometimes it only just
16:09
Speaker 2: takes that one case to get through. And if you've
16:13
Speaker 2: got other countries that aren't implementing the same rules as you,
16:17
Speaker 2: then they could be the ones that could bypass it.
16:22
Speaker 2: sneak someone in on the inside. Well, if you're like
16:25
Speaker 2: me and my family, you struggle probably to come up
16:30
Speaker 2: with something different in the regular meal rotation every single day.
16:36
Speaker 2: We plan out our week. We try to figure out
16:40
Speaker 2: what we're going to have for our meals in the evening.
16:44
Speaker 2: And we just struggle to put that list together every week. Well,
16:46
Speaker 2: let me offer this for you, something to add into
16:50
Speaker 2: the rotation. People often say, I like to eat food

Speaker 2: the city lights. You don't want any light interference, and
20:04
Speaker 2: you can do that as well. Upcoming astronomy night events
20:07

20:45
Speaker 2: away for you. And while they're there, you can always
20:48
Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
20:50
Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
20:54
Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
20:57
Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
20:59
Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
21:03
Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
21:06
Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
21:09
Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
21:13
Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
21:16
Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
21:19
Speaker 2: door system. that you can put down and you can
21:21
Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor,
21:26
Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
21:27
Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
21:30
Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
21:32
Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
21:35
Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
21:37
Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
21:40
Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
21:43
Speaker 2: your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
21:45
Speaker 2: come help. And they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.
21:57
Speaker 2: More West Carol Morning Show right after the break. Do
22:07
Speaker 2: you ever get goosebumps from a song? You should. You should.
22:13
Speaker 2: If it's a really good song, you should. Could be
22:17
Speaker 2: a vocal performance, could be a lyric that hits just right.
22:22
Speaker 2: You just kind of feel like they've reached into my gut,
22:25
Speaker 2: reached into my soul on this one. Well, there's a
22:28
Speaker 2: name for the goosebump feeling that you get. It's called Friesen.
22:34
Speaker 2: Scientists say those chills happen when emotion, memory, anticipation, and
22:38
Speaker 2: a song's unexpected moments all collide at just the right time.
22:42
Speaker 2: In fact, studies suggest up to 90% of people have
22:45
Speaker 2: experienced music-induced chills at least once. Researchers have linked the
22:51
Speaker 2: sensation to dopamine, the feel-good reward in the brain, that
22:55
Speaker 2: chemical that's in there. Certain musical moments are especially likely
23:00
Speaker 2: to trigger it, including dramatic build-ups, explosive climaxes, unexpected harmonies,
23:05
Speaker 2: or the sudden entrance of a voice or instrument. But
23:08
Speaker 2: personal connection plays a big role, too. That's why the
23:12
Speaker 2: song that gives one person goosebumps can leave someone else
23:17
Speaker 2: completely cold. It's an interesting phenomenon. And I always like
23:23
Speaker 2: those moments where you see a baby listening to their
23:28
Speaker 2: mother sing and they start to cry. I think it's
23:32
Speaker 2: kind of tapping into the same sort of thing, but
23:34
Speaker 2: they obviously aren't connecting necessarily to the vocals. It's just
23:38
Speaker 2: got to do, well, it is the vocals, but it's
23:39
Speaker 2: not the words, not the lyrics necessarily. They're just tapping
23:43
Speaker 2: into that sensation that goes with that. If you're a
23:48
Speaker 2: fan of peanut butter, well, there's a new spread that's
23:52
Speaker 2: taking over called Beanut Butter. It's a blend of white beans,
23:57
Speaker 2: powdered peanut butter, being touted as a sneaky way to
24:01
Speaker 2: add more fiber and protein to your diet, the trend
24:04
Speaker 2: popularized by a fitness influencer who's calling it the ultimate
24:08
Speaker 2: fiber hack. And social media users swear it tastes surprisingly
24:12
Speaker 2: close to peanut butter. To make it, you blend white
24:16
Speaker 2: beans with peanut powder, add a little sweetener, and it
24:22
Speaker 2: creates a peanut butter-like spread with that ultimate bit of
24:25
Speaker 2: protein nutritional boost. If you're skeptical, you're not alone, but
24:30
Speaker 2: apparently the viral concoction winning people over, especially since most
24:35
Speaker 2: Americans don't get enough fiber in their diets. So don't
24:38
Speaker 2: be surprised if your next PB & J is actually
24:40
Speaker 2: a B & B. Why is it a B & B?
24:46
Speaker 2: I guess just peanut butter. So B & B and J, maybe.
24:51
Speaker 2: So yeah, you know, if it tastes the same, And
24:55
Speaker 2: it works, and you're getting that. I just know that
24:57
Speaker 2: typically things like this happen, and then you get some
25:00
Speaker 2: fitness person comes along later and says, here's the thing.
25:03
Speaker 2: A bean has a lot of fiber, but when you
25:06
Speaker 2: blend it up, you're not getting any of the fiber
25:09
Speaker 2: and the protein from it. You can't blend it. That's
25:13
Speaker 2: what they said about bananas in smoothies. As soon as
25:16
Speaker 2: you blend up that banana, you're not getting any of
25:19
Speaker 2: the nutrition in it. Can't do that at all. There's
25:22
Speaker 2: no nutrition in blending up a banana. You have to
25:25
Speaker 2: just eat the banana, and you have to just eat
25:27
Speaker 2: the berries, and then you have to just gnaw on
25:30
Speaker 2: the ice cube. You can't blend it all up. Doesn't
25:34
Speaker 2: do you any good at all. So there's probably coming
25:37
Speaker 2: for this. So you do this for a while, and
25:39
Speaker 2: then you find out, no, I blended up the bean.
25:41
Speaker 2: It's not any good. Hey, we have been talking for
25:45
Speaker 2: a long time now about generationally some people saying, They're
25:50
Speaker 2: not looking for long-term relationships anymore. But apparently, that's actually
25:57
Speaker 2: not true, at least according to a survey that was
26:00
Speaker 2: done by Match.com, their 2026 Singles in America survey. And
26:06
Speaker 2: they say that Gen Z not giving up on long-term
26:11
Speaker 2: relationships as many people had thought. 72% of Gen Z
26:15
Speaker 2: singles in this survey saying that they want to actually
26:18
Speaker 2: get married and It's a higher percentage than any other generation.
26:22
Speaker 2: Researchers say the finding challenges the idea that young people
26:27
Speaker 2: are afraid to commit. So instead, many Gen Zers say
26:31
Speaker 2: they still believe in lasting love, soulmates, finding the one,
26:35
Speaker 2: even if they're frustrated with modern dating. So basically, Gen
26:39
Speaker 2: Z not giving up on marriage. They're just a little
26:42
Speaker 2: bit more intentional about it. And rather than rushing into relationships...
26:47
Speaker 2: Many focusing on emotional compatibility, financial stability, and finding the
26:52
Speaker 2: right partner before making things official. So, you know, we've
27:00
Speaker 2: been hearing this for so long. They're just looking for
27:03
Speaker 2: like a situationship. And then now it's like, no, no,
27:07
Speaker 2: they actually want to get married. And maybe it's just
27:09
Speaker 2: that that age group is aging. And they're getting closer
27:13
Speaker 2: to that point where it makes more sense for them.
27:15
Speaker 2: I don't know. That'll do it for this Thursday edition
27:17
Speaker 2: of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank
