Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to The West Carol Morning Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Tuesday Morning, thirteenth day of August. I'm West Thanks for
0:13
Speaker 2: joining me. Tuesday the thirteenth. Monday the thirteenth is the worst, right,
0:22
Speaker 2: I know, everybody says Friday the thirteenth. We talk about
0:24
Speaker 2: this a lot, Friday the thirteenth. At least it's Friday.
0:27
Speaker 2: Monday the thirteenth is the worst. You know, Friday the
0:33
Speaker 2: thirteenth is not as good as Saturday the thirteenth. Sunday
0:37
Speaker 2: the thirteenth. It's one of those deals where it's like, yeah,
0:39
Speaker 2: you know, you can feel Monday creeping in, but it's
0:43
Speaker 2: still it's okay. So it's second best, and then Friday
0:49
Speaker 2: the thirteenth would be the third best. Right, get away this,
0:53
Speaker 2: get the superstitions out of the way. Monday the thirteenth
0:56
Speaker 2: is the worst. Tuesday the thirteenth is the second worst.
1:00
Speaker 2: You could maybe even make the case Tuesday the thirteenth
1:04
Speaker 2: is the worst because sometimes at least with Monday you're
1:08
Speaker 2: dragon Tuesday you get that extra drag to it. But
1:10
Speaker 2: I'm not going to either way. I'm not gonna hate you.
1:13
Speaker 2: Whichever opinion you have. I'm not gonna hate you anyway.
1:16
Speaker 2: My point is, I don't know it's Tuesday the thirteenth,
1:20
Speaker 2: That's my point, and you know it's just what it is,
1:23
Speaker 2: all right. So we are I think we have a
1:25
Speaker 2: Friday the thirteenth next month, if I remember correctly. So
1:29
Speaker 2: let's speaking of next month. Oh, I don't want to
1:31
Speaker 2: forget talking about the dragon Con pregame show we'll have
1:34
Speaker 2: on the dragon Con Pregame Show podcast. We have last
1:37
Speaker 2: year's and previous years dragon Con pregame shows just waiting
1:40
Speaker 2: for you where you can listen to them there on
1:44
Speaker 2: the dragon Con Pregame Show podcast. Wherever you listen to
1:47
Speaker 2: this podcast, that podcast also exists. You can listen to
1:51
Speaker 2: previous guests. Some of those guests will be back this year.
1:55
Speaker 2: Even some of the past guests will be back for
1:57
Speaker 2: the pregame show this year. Sometimes you just make a
2:00
Speaker 2: with a guest and they say I'd like to come back.
2:04
Speaker 2: One of those guests in the past that's come back
2:07
Speaker 2: more than one occasion was my friend yah Yahan, who
2:11
Speaker 2: is one of the premier cos players on the scene,
2:16
Speaker 2: and she's in an Atlanta gal on top of that, right,
2:20
Speaker 2: so repping Georgia big time. She's not on this year's show.
2:24
Speaker 2: I am working with it, and she could end up
2:27
Speaker 2: on there. I'm working with a different podcaster that I'm sorry,
2:29
Speaker 2: with a different cosplayer that I'll have on the podcast
2:32
Speaker 2: this year. But I have I can. I think I'm
2:36
Speaker 2: comfortable laying out two of the guests, well three of
2:39
Speaker 2: the guests. Three of the guests for this year. I've
2:42
Speaker 2: already mentioned to you that Ross mar Kwan will be
2:45
Speaker 2: on the show. He is one of the folks that's
2:47
Speaker 2: been on in the past, and he just came down
2:51
Speaker 2: to Columbus. He and I just were like, let's just
2:54
Speaker 2: grab a mic and record an interview right now, let's
2:57
Speaker 2: do it. So we did that a little while back,
3:00
Speaker 2: so that one's already done. Also over the weekend, I
3:04
Speaker 2: interviewed Catherine Tate, you know her from the Office, possibly
3:08
Speaker 2: from Doctor Who, maybe even the Catherine Tate Show. Hard
3:12
Speaker 2: Sell is a show that's on Netflix that you could
3:14
Speaker 2: check out and get to see her play about six
3:16
Speaker 2: different roles on that. She's incredibly funny, incredibly talented. So
3:20
Speaker 2: she'll be on the show. That interview is done. I
3:23
Speaker 2: am set later today to talk with Kristin Krook from Smallville.
3:29
Speaker 2: She's got a new series coming soon coming next month,
3:35
Speaker 2: a Murder in a small Town, I think is what
3:36
Speaker 2: it's called. And looking forward to talking with her about
3:41
Speaker 2: past shows that she's been on as well as this
3:45
Speaker 2: upcoming show that she's got debuts late September on Fox.
3:50
Speaker 2: I wanted to double check and see that, so really
3:53
Speaker 2: looking forward to talking with her, and that interview is
3:59
Speaker 2: set to happen today and then I've got a couple
4:01
Speaker 2: more I don't want to say yet, I don't have
4:04
Speaker 2: the time. When the time is slotted, I feel more
4:06
Speaker 2: comfortable announcing that that's a guest. But we always try
4:10
Speaker 2: to cover things that you need to know about the convention,
4:13
Speaker 2: new things for the new for the year. We'll talk
4:16
Speaker 2: about some of the other but the charity involved this year,
4:18
Speaker 2: it's the Arthritis Foundation raising money for them, something that
4:22
Speaker 2: affects most people to some degree. And we'll talk a
4:26
Speaker 2: little bit with the President's CEO on the pregame show
4:30
Speaker 2: about that very thing that people have arthritis and they
4:33
Speaker 2: just seem to try to it's a stigma to it.
4:36
Speaker 2: They don't want to. You know, everybody's got those little
4:39
Speaker 2: creaks and cracks, and they wonder is that what that is?
4:42
Speaker 2: But dragon Con does a lot for Georgia charities, and
4:46
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes they're very regional to Atlanta. Sometimes it's
4:49
Speaker 2: something like Arthritis Foundation that touches a lot of people.
4:53
Speaker 2: So excited about having them as part of the show
4:56
Speaker 2: as well, and also part of the show as always.
4:58
Speaker 2: Columbus State University Colspace Science Iner sponsoring our coverage of
5:02
Speaker 2: dragon Con this year, and I appreciate them for that
5:05
Speaker 2: very much and really excited about having them back on board.
5:09
Speaker 2: All right, so let's get a little bit into It's
5:11
Speaker 2: yesterday we kind of talked about dragon Con for most
5:14
Speaker 2: of the show, So today I wanted to just talk
5:16
Speaker 2: a little bit about what's going on in the election cycle.
5:22
Speaker 2: One thing in particular, well a few things have happened,
5:25
Speaker 2: but one thing in particular happened, and it's worth noting,
5:29
Speaker 2: is Kamala Harris has decided that I guess she really
5:34
Speaker 2: liked one of Trump's policies, so she's decided She's made
5:38
Speaker 2: the announcement that this is going to be one of
5:39
Speaker 2: her issues. Trump said a couple of months ago that
5:44
Speaker 2: once he's president again, he's going to get rid of
5:47
Speaker 2: taxes on tips for servers. So if you give a
5:51
Speaker 2: tip at a restaurant or you know, some sort of
5:53
Speaker 2: service tip, it won't be expected to pay taxes on it.
5:57
Speaker 2: And one of the reasons that he did that is
6:00
Speaker 2: because the Biden administration, remember, they wanted to bring in
6:04
Speaker 2: extra irs agents. They wanted to get people who weren't
6:07
Speaker 2: paying their fair share. They're not paying their fair share
6:10
Speaker 2: in these taxes, so we got to get them. And
6:13
Speaker 2: they wanted to make sure that people and some of
6:15
Speaker 2: the people presumably involved in all of this was going
6:18
Speaker 2: to be people that you know, weren't paying their taxes
6:21
Speaker 2: on the tips. So Trump made that announcement, and now
6:26
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris says that's going to be part of her administration.
6:31
Speaker 2: I think one of the things that I find very
6:32
Speaker 2: telling about her campaign, and it's just one of those
6:38
Speaker 2: things that it's hard not to point it out because
6:43
Speaker 2: I don't know that enough people are really stopping to
6:45
Speaker 2: pay attention to it. But she says something like, you know,
6:48
Speaker 2: when I am president, this is what I'll do. She's
6:52
Speaker 2: currently the vice president, presumably this is something that she
6:58
Speaker 2: could do now, right, This is something that she could.
7:02
Speaker 2: You know, she's got the ear of the president, you
7:05
Speaker 2: assume as the vice president. You would think she could
7:08
Speaker 2: walk in and just say, hey, why don't we do
7:10
Speaker 2: this something that could be done right now. But instead
7:15
Speaker 2: it's sort of like, you know, we're gonna, you know,
7:18
Speaker 2: not make you pay back your student loan. It's it's
7:21
Speaker 2: dangling that carrot off in the distance, and you wonder
7:24
Speaker 2: if there's any intention of actually delivering on it. One
7:28
Speaker 2: of the things, and I've talked about this before, when
7:32
Speaker 2: Trump was running in twenty sixteen and he was the
7:36
Speaker 2: candidate you know, that was leading at one point, it
7:40
Speaker 2: is like, okay, he's starting to knock off all the
7:41
Speaker 2: Republicans in the primary. And I'll be honest, and I
7:46
Speaker 2: said this, then I admitted this. Then I was not
7:50
Speaker 2: someone that would I would consider myself a never Trumper.
7:53
Speaker 2: That's not who I was. I also wasn't full on,
7:57
Speaker 2: you know, on the Trump train with somebody who was
8:01
Speaker 2: proceeding with caution as he was making his way through.
8:05
Speaker 2: There were other candidates that I liked more than Trump
8:08
Speaker 2: that were running. There was no question about whether or
8:12
Speaker 2: not I was going to vote for Hillary Clinton. It
8:15
Speaker 2: was pretty obvious along the way that Bernie Sanders probably
8:20
Speaker 2: should have been the nominee that year. I wouldn't have
8:23
Speaker 2: voted for him either, but it was pretty clear he
8:27
Speaker 2: should have been. But they were rewarding Hillary Clinton for
8:33
Speaker 2: ultimately allowing I guess herself to be pushed aside for
8:38
Speaker 2: Barack Obama and him to get his eight years. So
8:42
Speaker 2: she was the candidate and Trump was making navigating his
8:45
Speaker 2: way through the Republicans, picking them off one at a time,
8:49
Speaker 2: made a lot of promises. I thought, is he going
8:51
Speaker 2: to do these things? Well, almost immediately after winning and
8:55
Speaker 2: being sworn in, he started doing things. There were issues
9:00
Speaker 2: that there was a lot of focus on issues within
9:02
Speaker 2: his cabinet. You know, there were people that kind of
9:04
Speaker 2: came and went pretty quickly, something that often happens. People
9:08
Speaker 2: don't see out to eye. People get in there. They
9:10
Speaker 2: think they're going to have a responsibility that they're not
9:12
Speaker 2: going to have. There's just there's issues that happen in there.
9:16
Speaker 2: I can't attest to what the turnover is. I heard
9:19
Speaker 2: a number of people say, oh, it's a lot more people.
9:21
Speaker 2: It's a lot bigger turnover because he's a hot head
9:24
Speaker 2: and he's a jerk, or whatever. Then I heard some
9:26
Speaker 2: people say, well, he's got just as many as Clinton did,
9:29
Speaker 2: as many as Reagan did, so it's not a big deal.
9:33
Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you. I don't know statistically what it is.
9:36
Speaker 2: My impression of that whole story, in that whole scenario,
9:40
Speaker 2: is that Trump is probably very opinionated. Trump is probably
9:44
Speaker 2: very much someone who feels like he was elected president,
9:46
Speaker 2: therefore he should be in charge. And I think that's
9:51
Speaker 2: what people expect. That's been the expectation. I think that
9:56
Speaker 2: a Trump presidency involved him doing what he wanted to
10:00
Speaker 2: do while he was in charge, and I think a
10:03
Speaker 2: lot of people didn't appreciate it. A lot of people
10:05
Speaker 2: were upset. A lot of people were, you know, kind
10:08
Speaker 2: of put off that he wasn't allowing them to do
10:11
Speaker 2: what they've been doing behind the scenes for a long time.
10:14
Speaker 2: We'd always sort of heard that, But now we have
10:19
Speaker 2: a presidency and I guess a vice president who very
10:24
Speaker 2: much seemed to be the embodiment of we're not really
10:28
Speaker 2: doing anything. There's people behind the scenes that are doing
10:31
Speaker 2: things on our behalf. It's what it seems like. That's
10:34
Speaker 2: what I've heard I've heard from I talked to people
10:36
Speaker 2: on the inside a lot, and they tell you they're open.
10:40
Speaker 2: This isn't conspiracy theory stuff. This is just hey, this
10:44
Speaker 2: is just the way it is. This is the way
10:46
Speaker 2: it's been. This is why they don't like Trump because
10:50
Speaker 2: Trump gets in there and says, wait a minute, who
10:52
Speaker 2: was elected president me? So there were issues early on
10:56
Speaker 2: with some cabinet people, but the thing that should be
10:59
Speaker 2: noted is that he was in there doing things that
11:03
Speaker 2: he promised right away. I have no doubt that Donald Trump,
11:06
Speaker 2: if he's elected again, will take care of taxes on tips.
11:11
Speaker 2: That's what he says he'll do. He's going to do
11:13
Speaker 2: whatever needs to happen to make that work. I believe
11:17
Speaker 2: that Kamala Harris is just saying it. I don't think
11:19
Speaker 2: there's any intention of doing it. I don't know. I
11:21
Speaker 2: could be wrong. I hope we won't find out either way.
11:26
Speaker 2: But I don't think that it's anything she really intends
11:30
Speaker 2: to do. I think it's just like all of the
11:31
Speaker 2: other empty promises that we've gotten out of this administration.
11:35
Speaker 2: We're gonna fix this, we're gonna fix that, we're gonna
11:37
Speaker 2: make this better, we're gonna do these things, and then
11:38
Speaker 2: it's just gotten worse, and it's gotten much worse. And
11:43
Speaker 2: now here we are with more empty promises about how
11:45
Speaker 2: they're gonna fix things or she's gonna fix things, And
11:48
Speaker 2: you know, we keep hearing, oh, well, we can start
11:50
Speaker 2: the deportations and we can fix the border once I'm president,
11:53
Speaker 2: do something. Now, you know, the media has done everything
11:58
Speaker 2: they can to cover and see that she was never
12:00
Speaker 2: the borders are She was never put in charge of
12:02
Speaker 2: the border. She was, she absolutely was. She was put
12:05
Speaker 2: in charge of the border. We heard that. No, no, no.
12:07
Speaker 2: They wanted her to go overseas and find out the
12:09
Speaker 2: reasons that we had problems at the border so that
12:12
Speaker 2: they could ultimately blame it on climate change. That's all
12:14
Speaker 2: they wanted, that's what they say. Anyway. They wanted her
12:19
Speaker 2: to go overseas and understand all of the institutional reasons
12:25
Speaker 2: in place why racism and ultimately carbon emissions were responsible
12:31
Speaker 2: for people coming to the US coming across the border.
12:35
Speaker 2: That's what they were looking for. They found their Patsy.
12:38
Speaker 2: I guess the person that would go and just say that,
12:41
Speaker 2: and they say, no, no, she was never in charge
12:44
Speaker 2: of the border. That's not what she was in charge of.
12:47
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of documentation and record that she
12:50
Speaker 2: was in fact so, and it was kind of widely
12:55
Speaker 2: held that she was not doing a very good job
12:57
Speaker 2: with it. And now that she's the presidential candidate for
13:00
Speaker 2: Democrats and they're getting ready to have their primary, where
13:03
Speaker 2: you know, like a week away from getting into all that,
13:06
Speaker 2: they're doing everything they can to cover for They're making
13:09
Speaker 2: excuses for why it's not really her job and it
13:11
Speaker 2: never was her job, it's not her responsibility. She's got
13:15
Speaker 2: starting to get the magazine covers. We're going to start
13:18
Speaker 2: that whole process. If you've been anywhere near a magazine wreck,
13:22
Speaker 2: you've probably started to see her face. It's popping up.
13:26
Speaker 2: And you know, we're back to Trump as the devil.
13:29
Speaker 2: He's evil, he's awful. We're starting to get back into
13:32
Speaker 2: some of that language in places. He's dangerous, he's bad
13:36
Speaker 2: for democracy, coming from the party that has just selected
13:41
Speaker 2: a candidate. I think I heard somebody say the other
13:44
Speaker 2: day they said she got a few votes when she
13:47
Speaker 2: ran for president, but it wasn't many. It was like
13:49
Speaker 2: around ten. I thought, okay, so she was running for
13:54
Speaker 2: the nomination in twenty twenty, and you got out of
14:00
Speaker 2: the race very quickly, and they said something like twelve votes,
14:04
Speaker 2: ten twelve votes somewhere in that range. I don't know
14:07
Speaker 2: if that was accurate. I don't know if that was
14:08
Speaker 2: just a you know, hyperbolic joke. I don't know where
14:13
Speaker 2: they were going with that, but it wasn't many. If
14:15
Speaker 2: she got any. I know that on this cycle, she
14:17
Speaker 2: hasn't gotten a single vote. No one, not one citizen
14:21
Speaker 2: of this country has voted for her. She has just
14:23
Speaker 2: been appointed the candidate, and they're now back to saying
14:27
Speaker 2: that Trump is the danger to democracy and he's going
14:29
Speaker 2: to bring about the end of the whole democratic process.
14:32
Speaker 2: There's no democratic process in this election for Kamala Harris. None.
14:38
Speaker 2: No one was given the opportunity to vote for and
14:41
Speaker 2: they won't get a chance to vote for her until November.
14:46
Speaker 2: Apparently we are going to get debate. I guess they've
14:49
Speaker 2: settled on at least one, and I don't know they're
14:52
Speaker 2: talking about more and whether that's going to happen. I
14:54
Speaker 2: think the politics behind all of that bit ridiculous. When
15:01
Speaker 2: you have a definite reason that Trump wanted to make
15:05
Speaker 2: some changes in what was agreed upon with the debate
15:08
Speaker 2: concerning some of his court cases. Notice, there's not a
15:11
Speaker 2: whole lot of that talk. We've kind of let all
15:14
Speaker 2: that go away because it was the most important thing
15:17
Speaker 2: in the world if it was going to be tried,
15:19
Speaker 2: you know, in public before the election. Now all they
15:23
Speaker 2: have is, you know, the one case that is eventually
15:28
Speaker 2: going to get overturned. I did see a shirt the
15:30
Speaker 2: other day. Someone was wearing a T shirt. On the
15:32
Speaker 2: back it just said, I'm voting for the felon. So,
15:36
Speaker 2: you know, I think it's been more embraced. It's like
15:38
Speaker 2: the mug shot. I think folks on the right are
15:40
Speaker 2: probably just saying, it doesn't matter to us, he's not
15:43
Speaker 2: really a felon. If it's going to be overturned, and
15:47
Speaker 2: if Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both had the same
15:52
Speaker 2: charges against them in the past, and we're somehow able
15:55
Speaker 2: to just skirt around all of it with just a
15:57
Speaker 2: small slap on the small rap on the knuckles, if
16:01
Speaker 2: you will, and just paying a small fine. So but yeah,
16:04
Speaker 2: it seems that we're going to get a debate. I
16:06
Speaker 2: think she'll probably have a decent showing at the debate.
16:09
Speaker 2: I think if Trump can stay composed like he did
16:12
Speaker 2: against Biden, I don't know I think he may need
16:14
Speaker 2: to be a little scrappier though, but hopefully he'll be
16:16
Speaker 2: able to stay composed and not come across as someone
16:21
Speaker 2: who is just viciously attacking a woman on TV. However,
16:25
Speaker 2: remember with Biden, she attacked Biden when she was running
16:29
Speaker 2: against him. She went after him aggressively enough that, apparently,
16:33
Speaker 2: according to the insiders, Jill Biden hates her guts didn't
16:37
Speaker 2: want her to be the VP pick. And I don't
16:39
Speaker 2: know that Biden was the one who picked her to
16:40
Speaker 2: be the VP pick. I think that that was just
16:43
Speaker 2: decided behind the scenes. Hey, this is another person who'll
16:46
Speaker 2: probably let us just tell her what to do and
16:48
Speaker 2: then we won't have to worry about it. That's probably
16:51
Speaker 2: the reason the decision was made. And I know ultimately
16:53
Speaker 2: that's reason the decision was made that she would be
16:56
Speaker 2: the presidential candidate. So I don't know. I know that
17:00
Speaker 2: they said Biden, I guess won the debate in spite
17:02
Speaker 2: of the fact that she attacked him. I don't know
17:05
Speaker 2: that Trump will be granted the same sort of courtesies
17:09
Speaker 2: concerning who won the debate if he handles himself even
17:13
Speaker 2: the same way that Biden did. Today's show brought to
17:16
Speaker 2: you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center,
17:20
Speaker 2: inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and
17:26
Speaker 2: STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean
17:30
Speaker 2: they do it for school age kids as school age
17:33
Speaker 2: kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they
17:35
Speaker 2: also do it through their university programs where you can
17:39
Speaker 2: learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and
17:45
Speaker 2: STEM fields are booming right now. And you can learn
17:48
Speaker 2: more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC

Speaker 2: do with the Schwob School of Music from Columbus State
18:06
Speaker 2: University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert
18:10
Speaker 2: experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of
18:13
Speaker 2: those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
18:16
Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
18:19
Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
18:24
Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
18:28
Speaker 2: Science Center. And the new season of Music under the
18:31
Speaker 2: Dome check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also
18:36
Speaker 2: check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where
18:39
Speaker 2: you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the
18:42
Speaker 2: Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside
18:46
Speaker 2: the city lights. You don't want any light interference, and
18:48
Speaker 2: you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events
18:51
Speaker 2: also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean
18:55
Speaker 2: Crusan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just
19:00
Speaker 2: remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science
19:04
Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
19:08
Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
19:11
Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
19:18
Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
19:21
Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
19:24
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
19:28
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
19:31
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
19:33
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
19:37
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
19:40
Speaker 2: to be. And you need some repair work done to
19:42
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:45
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
19:49
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
19:52
Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
19:56
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
19:59
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
20:02
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
20:04
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
20:08
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
20:11
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
20:13
Speaker 2: you just want a little man caved. You'd like to
20:15
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
20:17
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
20:20
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
20:23
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
20:25
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
20:28
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
20:32
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thorty five eight forty five

Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right
20:42
Speaker 2: after the break Well. The Olympic closing ceremonies happened the
20:54
Speaker 2: other night and Tom Cruise had his jumping down from
20:59
Speaker 2: the top of the State moment, and then I guess
21:03
Speaker 2: parachuting into La. That was something that they had filmed
21:07
Speaker 2: obviously a while back. We talked about it when they
21:12
Speaker 2: filmed it, and they said it kind of went unnoticed,
21:15
Speaker 2: but it happened in La. Kind of a neat hand off.
21:21
Speaker 2: I just you know, people were concerned about the All
21:24
Speaker 2: the Last Supper imagery with the Greek gods at the
21:31
Speaker 2: opening ceremonies and the closing ceremonies. It was a big
21:33
Speaker 2: old commercial for scientology. So there's that tongue in cheek.
21:38
Speaker 2: Tongue in cheek is what I'm kind of not but
21:41
Speaker 2: tongue in cheek. According to a new study, venting your
21:44
Speaker 2: anger isn't the stress buster that you might have thought
21:47
Speaker 2: it was, as researchers now at Ohio State University found
21:50
Speaker 2: little evidence that venting helps you relax. In some cases,
21:55
Speaker 2: it seems venting even increases your anger. Researchers concluded that
22:00
Speaker 2: bombing activities like deep breathing or meditation are much more
22:04
Speaker 2: effective in hopes of cutting down on stopp and Go.
22:08
Speaker 2: Traffic emissions officials in Boston are connecting traffic signals to
22:13
Speaker 2: an AI system designed by Google. It's called Project green Light.
22:18
Speaker 2: Isn't It the Thing? To make movies? Thanks to the
22:21
Speaker 2: system's tweaking traffic signals at four busy intersections, there has
22:26
Speaker 2: been a fifty percent reduction in traffic jams in some areas,
22:31
Speaker 2: and the question now, of course, is whether or not
22:33
Speaker 2: it can be expanded across the country, and whether or
22:36
Speaker 2: not they can keep hackers from messing with the traffic lights,
22:40
Speaker 2: because that would be a major problem. Are Researchers at
22:45
Speaker 2: Cornwill University have teamed up with Prison City Brewing in Auburn,
22:48
Speaker 2: New York, to create beer made from rhubarb. The scientists
22:52
Speaker 2: are experimenting with over fifty types of rhubarb to boost
22:55
Speaker 2: production for the lead brewer in Auburn's Prison City Brewing,
23:00
Speaker 2: Tony Cordova, to create a sour ale called Rhubarb Klink.
23:05
Speaker 2: While the process is a bit of a hassle, the
23:07
Speaker 2: team has enjoyed some success already. Tony says, I am
23:11
Speaker 2: super proud of this beer. I think it's been selling
23:13
Speaker 2: pretty well. We are out of draft, so that's good.
23:18
Speaker 2: I would think that would be an indicator of it
23:20
Speaker 2: being a possible good sign. Some gen Z brides have
23:24
Speaker 2: gone to social media to express their regret about some
23:28
Speaker 2: of the tattoos that they got when they were younger. Basically,
23:34
Speaker 2: they don't necessarily go well because they're moving into wedding
23:38
Speaker 2: season that period of their life that sometimes the tattoos
23:43
Speaker 2: weren't in the correct location for them to be able
23:45
Speaker 2: to wear whatever wedding gown they wanted to wear and
23:48
Speaker 2: be comfortable and think they look their best. And they
23:52
Speaker 2: say they don't want to have to hide their tattoos.
23:55
Speaker 2: And there's even some that have said they've started the
23:57
Speaker 2: laser removal process to get ready for their weddings. That's
24:02
Speaker 2: some serious stuff. You got to think about location. You
24:04
Speaker 2: gotta always think about location if you're going to take
24:08
Speaker 2: that step. So there you go. According to a dating coach,
24:14
Speaker 2: if a guy doesn't say I love you within three months,
24:17
Speaker 2: you should dump him, ladies. He says, if your partner
24:21
Speaker 2: doesn't very clearly say I love you by twelve weeks,
24:23
Speaker 2: then he's not your ideal partner and you've wasted your time.
24:26
Speaker 2: This according to Jake Maddock, who shares dating advice tips
24:31
Speaker 2: on social media, you'll know the ideal partner and they'll
24:35
Speaker 2: know too, according to him, I mean, I guess that's
24:40
Speaker 2: a good general rule for some people. But I think
24:43
Speaker 2: there's also some people that maybe they struggle with getting
24:46
Speaker 2: to that point. Maybe they've had some bad relationships, maybe
24:50
Speaker 2: it's just not easy for them. So I think maybe
24:53
Speaker 2: there should be some exceptions. I don't think that this
24:55
Speaker 2: is a very sound you gotta dump them at the point,
25:00
Speaker 2: but you know, maybe that works for some people. I
25:02
Speaker 2: don't know. US Census data suggests that by next year,
25:06
Speaker 2: roughly twenty two percent of American workforce would be working
25:08
Speaker 2: remotely at least part of the time. And while most
25:11
Speaker 2: remote workers can get their jobs done from anywhere they want,
25:15
Speaker 2: a recent study has determined that some places are better
25:18
Speaker 2: than others based on a number of factors like home affordability, workspace,
25:22
Speaker 2: financial incentives, internet connectivity, and safety. And they've discovered that
25:29
Speaker 2: the best city for remote workers is in Texas. It's
25:32
Speaker 2: a town called Frisco, Texas. Second place was Sugarland, Texas,
25:37
Speaker 2: followed by Carmel, Indiana. Flower Mound, Texas is fourth. Naperville, Illinois.
25:44
Speaker 2: My wife just got back from Naperville. Roswell, Georgia was
25:48
Speaker 2: number six on the list Evanston, Illinois, Plano, Texas, and
25:54
Speaker 2: then Atlanta at number nine, followed by Allen Texas. So
25:57
Speaker 2: a lot of good remote working opportunity unities around Texas
26:02
Speaker 2: and a couple of good places in Georgia, with obviously
26:06
Speaker 2: Roswell in Atlanta. And that's kind of an area to encompass.
26:11
Speaker 2: But there you go. What type of airline traveler are you?
26:15
Speaker 2: The type that gets to the airport and then sprints
26:18
Speaker 2: to the terminal to try to make it before the
26:20
Speaker 2: doors close, or the kind that arrives with hours to spare.
26:24
Speaker 2: Either way, recommendations from experts tell you what time you
26:29
Speaker 2: should probably get to the airport and be in your
26:31
Speaker 2: best interest for everybody involved. They say your baseline for
26:36
Speaker 2: domestic flights is a two hour arrival before your flight,
26:41
Speaker 2: three hours for international flights. And they say if you've
26:45
Speaker 2: checked in online, you can take thirty minutes off of
26:47
Speaker 2: both of those numbers. If you don't have luggage, they
26:50
Speaker 2: say you can take another fifteen minutes off. If you
26:53
Speaker 2: have tsa pre check or clear, you can take another
26:55
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes off. And if you're traveling through a busy
26:59
Speaker 2: airport at peaked time, you have to add thirty minutes.
27:02
Speaker 2: If you want to eat before your flight, add thirty minutes.
27:05
Speaker 2: And if you're traveling with kids or special equipment, then
27:08
Speaker 2: you need to add another thirty minutes. So that's just
27:10
Speaker 2: some you know, some advice times that you should add
27:15
Speaker 2: time and times you should track time and get there
27:19
Speaker 2: a little bit later. That'll do it for as we
27:22
Speaker 2: get closer to you know, holidays, maybe you might be
27:26
Speaker 2: doing some traveling this holiday season coming up. And it's
27:29
Speaker 2: coming up fast because we're almost midway through August, so
27:35
Speaker 2: just keep that in mind. We're coming up fast. September, October,
27:40
Speaker 2: November's here before.
27:41
Speaker 1: You know it.
27:41
Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Tuesday edition of the show.
27:43
Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
27:46
Speaker 2: I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
