Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day when you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:12
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, eighth, the day of April. I'm West thanks
0:16
Speaker 2: for joining me. Entering into this second week of the
0:23
Speaker 2: month of April. The images coming in from Artemis two
0:27
Speaker 2: are absolutely fantastic. There's just something about and it's almost
0:34
Speaker 2: real time. That's the remarkable thing about this is we
0:37
Speaker 2: are getting video and images. It feels like it's just happening,
0:42
Speaker 2: like right before our eyes. It's not the delay from
0:44
Speaker 2: you know, fifty plus years ago the last time. It's
0:47
Speaker 2: just remarkable. Some of the photos and well all I mean,
0:51
Speaker 2: they're all remarkable. Everything that we're getting, it's just fantastic.
0:56
Speaker 2: And you know, this is historic on so many level.
1:00
Speaker 2: We've talked about the fact that we have, you know,
1:02
Speaker 2: a black man who's the pilot on this mission. There's
1:06
Speaker 2: a woman who's on this mission, there's a Canadian who's
1:08
Speaker 2: on this mission. All firsts for a mission of this kind.
1:13
Speaker 2: They've gone, you know, farther than anyone's ever gone into space.
1:17
Speaker 2: It's the first time in over fifty years anyone's gone
1:20
Speaker 2: outside of you know, Earth's orbit. This is a remarkable
1:27
Speaker 2: mission and the every accomplishment, every success, and then the
1:32
Speaker 2: images that we're getting back, some of the photos that
1:35
Speaker 2: are you know, just it's like looking at the surface
1:38
Speaker 2: of the Moon and there's Earth now basically you know,
1:45
Speaker 2: off in the distance, the size of the Moon that
1:48
Speaker 2: we see when we look outside, and it's just remarkable
1:52
Speaker 2: and so many accomplishments. If you go back and check
1:57
Speaker 2: out the Mate of Stars podcast when shown Cruisen and
2:00
Speaker 2: I were down at Kennedy Space Center and some of
2:04
Speaker 2: the mission specialists that we talked with that were part
2:08
Speaker 2: of this project manager's mission specialist things, astronauts. There were
2:13
Speaker 2: a lot of people that we talked to about this
2:15
Speaker 2: mission and the importance of it. And I know we
2:18
Speaker 2: are entering into a phase where there are people saying,
2:21
Speaker 2: do we really need to do this? Is it a
2:23
Speaker 2: waste of money? Is it even really happening? First of all,
2:29
Speaker 2: as far as the cynics go, as far as the
2:32
Speaker 2: conspiracy theorists, that will no matter what they do, you
2:36
Speaker 2: could shoot a conspiracy theorist into space and while in
2:41
Speaker 2: space they would argue that they weren't there. I mean,
2:44
Speaker 2: that's how committed they are to this disbelief that we
2:48
Speaker 2: are in space. Have ever been to space. They just
2:52
Speaker 2: can't accept the remarkable accomplishments that have been boxes that
2:58
Speaker 2: have been checked. They just can't accept it. So so
3:03
Speaker 2: that's you have to kind of dismiss that the people
3:06
Speaker 2: that say is this necessary, Yes, it is necessary. There
3:10
Speaker 2: have been a lot of scientific discoveries and health benefits,
3:19
Speaker 2: and they're doing studies right now on health. As far
3:23
Speaker 2: as the slowing down things like cancer, being able to
3:29
Speaker 2: get an idea of, you know, where someone with cancer
3:33
Speaker 2: might be in a period of time. If they can
3:36
Speaker 2: get the cancer cells to space and slow them down,
3:39
Speaker 2: then they're able to study them and know, hey, in
3:42
Speaker 2: three months, this is where this patient is going to be.
3:45
Speaker 2: As far as the progress and things of it, I mean,
3:47
Speaker 2: there's things that they've been able to study up there,
3:50
Speaker 2: and that's one small thing, but it's pretty significant. If
3:52
Speaker 2: you know someone who has cancer, if you know someone
3:55
Speaker 2: who has died from cancer, these are important things in
3:59
Speaker 2: the name of science and research. And you know, being
4:02
Speaker 2: able to do tests on twins and send one up
4:04
Speaker 2: and keep one down, and just so many things that
4:08
Speaker 2: we can attribute to our accomplishments in space, and you know,
4:14
Speaker 2: people to say, oh, is it necessary as far as
4:18
Speaker 2: you know going to the moon. Yes, there will be
4:22
Speaker 2: human beings living on the surface.
4:25
Speaker 1: Of the Moon.
4:26
Speaker 2: There will be human beings living on the surface of
4:28
Speaker 2: Mars at some point, and it is important for you know,
4:34
Speaker 2: the countries that are now in this race, for each
4:37
Speaker 2: of them to get there first. And Americans want to
4:42
Speaker 2: show that we can do this for the world, that
4:44
Speaker 2: we can do this in the name of the world.
4:45
Speaker 2: There are countries that are not trying to do this
4:47
Speaker 2: for the world. They want to have their flex moment
4:50
Speaker 2: yes and say look at what we did, but they're
4:52
Speaker 2: not doing this for all of mankind. They're doing it
4:55
Speaker 2: for themselves. And I know there will be people saying, well,
5:00
Speaker 2: you know, Americans do things for themselves as well, but
5:07
Speaker 2: at least there is talk and taking a Canadian along
5:10
Speaker 2: on this mission is proof that this isn't just about
5:14
Speaker 2: us and being able to say, look, we have hopes,
5:18
Speaker 2: we have plans, we have things that we would like
5:20
Speaker 2: to see accomplished, and we'd like to show what we're
5:22
Speaker 2: capable of as a species here on Earth. We like
5:27
Speaker 2: to show what it is that we're able to do
5:29
Speaker 2: and what is a possibility all of these things are
5:34
Speaker 2: reasons that we need to do this. And when we
5:36
Speaker 2: hear things about space tourism, you hear about, well, you know,
5:40
Speaker 2: it's just rich people going up to space. But you know,
5:43
Speaker 2: rich people going up to space that can afford it
5:46
Speaker 2: are doing it in the early stages because eventually we'll
5:49
Speaker 2: be at a point where space tourism is a thing,
5:51
Speaker 2: hopefully for everyone, as a possibility. You know, flying across
5:58
Speaker 2: the country, flying over the oceans was once something that
6:02
Speaker 2: was reserved only for rich people. And I can tell
6:05
Speaker 2: you right now, I've been to Australia many times. I
6:08
Speaker 2: am not a rich person. It is not a cheap flight,
6:12
Speaker 2: but I am not a rich person. I am not
6:14
Speaker 2: a rich So I'm just letting you know it's very
6:20
Speaker 2: much appreciated all of the rich people who flew international
6:24
Speaker 2: flights before me, back when it was just for rich people,
6:28
Speaker 2: because it makes it where I can afford to send
6:30
Speaker 2: a family of four to Australia to visit my in
6:33
Speaker 2: laws and family and friends down there, So thank you,
6:36
Speaker 2: and that they've been able to visit here, those that
6:38
Speaker 2: have been able to come up, so without the rich people,
6:41
Speaker 2: this would not have been an option. So it's remarkable
6:45
Speaker 2: things that are happening, and remarkable the speed at which
6:48
Speaker 2: we're able to get information and get things back. It's
6:51
Speaker 2: just fantastic. I had planned to talk. First of all,
6:56
Speaker 2: the ceasefire is important in Iran, and I don't want
6:59
Speaker 2: to just blow past that. This is one of those
7:02
Speaker 2: things that we have to see how things go from here.
7:06
Speaker 2: As we know, the President has worked out an agreement
7:11
Speaker 2: to at least for the US and Israel and Iran
7:15
Speaker 2: to stop fighting and enter into at least a two
7:19
Speaker 2: week period of some sort of peace negotiations. Hopefully there's
7:23
Speaker 2: going to be an agreement there that's going to be
7:26
Speaker 2: beneficial for the world. And I pray for the people
7:33
Speaker 2: of Iran. I want them to get to a place
7:35
Speaker 2: where they're they're in a better situation. I talk about
7:39
Speaker 2: this sometimes. I think in some countries where you know,
7:43
Speaker 2: women are so horribly mistreated, and I know that that's
7:48
Speaker 2: the standard there, that's that's the religion, that's the way
7:52
Speaker 2: things are, but it doesn't have to be that way.
7:54
Speaker 2: That's that Iran is a country that this was not
7:56
Speaker 2: the case. You know, in the late seventies and early eighties,
8:01
Speaker 2: this was not the way that they were women were
8:04
Speaker 2: treated there, and hopefully there will be some opportunities and
8:08
Speaker 2: things to come from all of this. That's the prayer,
8:11
Speaker 2: that's the hope, and that you know that no more
8:14
Speaker 2: lives have to be lost in any capacity, and that
8:17
Speaker 2: we're able to move forward with some sort of a
8:21
Speaker 2: better life there, and you know, as Americans and the
8:27
Speaker 2: rest of the world watch and hopefully we can get
8:30
Speaker 2: back to peace. Right, that's what we want. We don't
8:34
Speaker 2: want anyone else in the Middle East to die. No
8:39
Speaker 2: one should want that. No one should. So I don't
8:42
Speaker 2: want to just blow past that. It's important. I don't
8:46
Speaker 2: know how long it will hold. I hope that we're
8:48
Speaker 2: able to get to some kind of a finalization of this.
8:52
Speaker 2: We had a lot of tough talk from the President.
8:56
Speaker 2: We had a lot of you know, some things that
9:01
Speaker 2: you can't just go into a country and blow up
9:03
Speaker 2: all the power plants. You can't do that. You can't
9:05
Speaker 2: just go in there and blow up all the train
9:07
Speaker 2: stations and then expect the people there to navigate those things.
9:11
Speaker 2: And then you know, you have you know, Iran with
9:16
Speaker 2: some potential war crime talk on their own end, saying well,
9:19
Speaker 2: we're gonna we're going to lock arms and have all
9:21
Speaker 2: of our intellectuals and athletes and children all stand there
9:26
Speaker 2: in lock arms on these targets and just be there
9:28
Speaker 2: so that they can't shoot them. That itself is a
9:31
Speaker 2: war crime. You can't do that. So hopefully we can
9:35
Speaker 2: get some progress on things. But what I everything I
9:40
Speaker 2: kind of planned to talk about today kind of got
9:42
Speaker 2: blown up because of something that happened. You have bad
9:44
Speaker 2: choice of words. Everything to talk about today got kind
9:47
Speaker 2: of pushed aside because of something that happened to me yesterday.
9:54
Speaker 2: And I had a message from an old friend, a
10:02
Speaker 2: colleague who had reached out to me, I don't like,
10:07
Speaker 2: maybe a week or so ago, week and a half ago,
10:09
Speaker 2: something like that, right after I was getting back from
10:13
Speaker 2: my Disney trip, my vacation, my time down there on
10:16
Speaker 2: the Florida coast, and he reached out and he basically
10:21
Speaker 2: just said, hey, I want to want to chat, want
10:24
Speaker 2: to catch up. You know, let's let's reconnect. He said,
10:28
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't have your number anymore, and you know,
10:31
Speaker 2: here's mine, and you know, let's let's connect. And he
10:35
Speaker 2: and I worked together, you know, twenty gosh, twenty four
10:42
Speaker 2: years ago, twenty two years ago, maybe somewhere in that
10:45
Speaker 2: R twenty probably in that range twenty two to twenty
10:48
Speaker 2: four years ago, something like that. Worked together at radio station.
10:54
Speaker 2: I had the privilege of giving him, I guess, his
10:59
Speaker 2: first full time radio job. He's doing great things still
11:04
Speaker 2: in the industry, still working and you know, doing some
11:08
Speaker 2: great things. Proud of him. You know, he gave me
11:11
Speaker 2: some credit in the past, and on this phone call
11:15
Speaker 2: that we finally had yesterday for kind of seeing something
11:19
Speaker 2: in him and giving him his opportunity and all those things.
11:21
Speaker 2: And you know that that should be our role in
11:24
Speaker 2: a management position, in a job. I was a member
11:29
Speaker 2: of management at the time I had the opportunity to
11:32
Speaker 2: give him this particular job. I felt like he was
11:37
Speaker 2: more than capable of doing the job. I did see
11:39
Speaker 2: a lot of potential in him, and you know, tried
11:41
Speaker 2: to encourage that. And it couldn't be prouder of what
11:44
Speaker 2: he's done career wise. And for him to say, you know,
11:48
Speaker 2: you're a big part of it and all those things,
11:49
Speaker 2: that's all flattering, but it's his work ethic, it's his drive,
11:53
Speaker 2: it's the thing he went after something. You know, I
11:57
Speaker 2: gave him an opportunity because I felt like that was
12:00
Speaker 2: the right thing to do. I felt like he was
12:02
Speaker 2: you know, I had potential to do this job and
12:05
Speaker 2: do this job well, I hadn't, you know, I couldn't
12:08
Speaker 2: say that. I was thinking, Oh, he's going to still
12:10
Speaker 2: be doing this in twenty twenty six. But it doesn't
12:12
Speaker 2: surprise me. I'm I'm, you know, just really excited to
12:16
Speaker 2: have been part of his journey. But we we caught up.
12:19
Speaker 2: We've had a couple of colleagues that have passed away
12:23
Speaker 2: in the last couple of years. One, you know, the
12:26
Speaker 2: end of last year. One earlier this year. I've talked
12:30
Speaker 2: a little bit about that one that died a couple
12:32
Speaker 2: of years ago, who was a good friend of both
12:35
Speaker 2: of ours, and uh, he just felt the need to
12:39
Speaker 2: reach out, and I was really glad that he did,
12:41
Speaker 2: because we caught up, talked about our families. He's got
12:45
Speaker 2: an adult child now, which blows my mind, and you know,
12:48
Speaker 2: but I practically have an adult child now as well.
12:52
Speaker 2: But the reason I wanted to talk about this today
12:55
Speaker 2: was we we sort of got to the end of
12:57
Speaker 2: our catch up and I think the conversation was about
12:59
Speaker 2: to wrap up and we were about to move on,
13:01
Speaker 2: and then the subject of politics came up, and we
13:06
Speaker 2: did something that I think a lot of people refuse
13:09
Speaker 2: to do now, is we spent about an hour, like
13:13
Speaker 2: another hour on the phone just talking about politics and
13:19
Speaker 2: not sharing, you know, the exact same view on a
13:23
Speaker 2: number of things coming into it. I think we both
13:27
Speaker 2: sort of thought, well, we're about to get into we're
13:29
Speaker 2: going to really step in it here because we probably
13:31
Speaker 2: don't have the same views. I have this show. I
13:36
Speaker 2: have an opportunity here to get things off my chest.
13:39
Speaker 2: I have an opportunity to share thoughts and feelings and
13:43
Speaker 2: you know, predictions and emotions and you know, be right
13:48
Speaker 2: or wrong sometimes about things here. And I'm very blessed
13:52
Speaker 2: to have you listening to me right now. And you know,
13:55
Speaker 2: I've got people that support us by listening. I've got
13:57
Speaker 2: people who support through Patreon. I've got advertisers who've been
14:01
Speaker 2: supporting us from the very beginning, you know, as far
14:05
Speaker 2: as subscribers and people that were you know, downloading the show.
14:11
Speaker 2: I had people that were ready to advertise from the
14:14
Speaker 2: very beginning with Zeros, no one was listening yet, no
14:18
Speaker 2: one you know, we were just getting started. Now we
14:21
Speaker 2: were able to take a base that we had a
14:24
Speaker 2: fan base that we had as a radio show and
14:26
Speaker 2: turned it into a podcast, and we quickly built up
14:28
Speaker 2: an audience and we have a fantastic audience. And I
14:32
Speaker 2: appreciate every single one of you for helping me take
14:36
Speaker 2: this part of my journey. But I have this, I
14:44
Speaker 2: have the opportunity to do this, and I'm flattered that
14:46
Speaker 2: you listen and care what I've got to say about it.
14:49
Speaker 2: I've had people tell me many times, you don't go
14:52
Speaker 2: far enough, You're not extreme enough. I've had some people say,
14:55
Speaker 2: you know, I'm too soft on the left sometimes, and
14:58
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe I am, but this is who
15:00
Speaker 2: I am as a person. I'm not here to be controversial.
15:04
Speaker 2: I'm not here to attack anybody. I do have moments
15:09
Speaker 2: where I have concerns. I think that there are people
15:12
Speaker 2: who should be called out on certain things, and I've
15:14
Speaker 2: done that. But I also think sometimes I go a
15:17
Speaker 2: little too far and I feel like I have to
15:18
Speaker 2: reel it in a little bit, and then I have
15:21
Speaker 2: my moments of frustration and I'm able to express that here.
15:24
Speaker 2: And like I said, I'm flattered that I have you listening,
15:27
Speaker 2: and I do appreciate you very much, and I'm going
15:29
Speaker 2: to say it again before the show's over. But not
15:33
Speaker 2: everybody has that, and not everybody has the opportunity to
15:37
Speaker 2: just have an open conversation with someone, and I often
15:40
Speaker 2: don't do that outside of this show. I feel like
15:44
Speaker 2: there are people who listen here. I tell people sometimes,
15:47
Speaker 2: if you really want to know my thoughts on that,
15:49
Speaker 2: you can listen to the show and I'll probably talk
15:51
Speaker 2: about it at some point. I've had to tell people
15:54
Speaker 2: when I was coaching soccer and that wanted to talk
15:56
Speaker 2: to me about politics, and I've had to just say, look,
15:59
Speaker 2: I appreciate that you want to get my thoughts on it,
16:02
Speaker 2: but I can't do this soccer practice. We had a
16:04
Speaker 2: lot of different opinions here, We got people from different
16:06
Speaker 2: places and backgrounds, and this isn't the place for it.
16:09
Speaker 2: I can't do this here, and don't I don't want
16:11
Speaker 2: this to be I don't want to get my blood
16:13
Speaker 2: up as I'm about to be, you know, talking to
16:16
Speaker 2: kids about soccer and trying to keep them interested in
16:19
Speaker 2: loving a game that I love so much. So he
16:23
Speaker 2: and I talked, and and you know, I think that
16:28
Speaker 2: he said at one point, you know, this is not
16:30
Speaker 2: the way conversations usually go when I talk about politics
16:32
Speaker 2: with people that maybe we don't have the same opinions.
16:35
Speaker 2: And I've said to you here, and I said this
16:37
Speaker 2: to him, I'm not evangelical about politics. I would love
16:42
Speaker 2: for everybody to have the same view of things as me.
16:45
Speaker 2: I would that would be great. It would be a
16:48
Speaker 2: little boring, but I would think that we could move
16:51
Speaker 2: forward on some very positive things in this country if
16:55
Speaker 2: that's where it was. But I'm certainly not right about everything,
16:58
Speaker 2: and I've told you that I don't. Don't pretend that
17:01
Speaker 2: I'm right about everything. All I can do is come
17:04
Speaker 2: from a place of my faith drives my politics. That
17:10
Speaker 2: the way that I was raised drives my politics. In
17:14
Speaker 2: some cases, it might have driven my politics in a
17:17
Speaker 2: different direction because I might have seen something. You know,
17:22
Speaker 2: there's times where my parents, the way that they grew
17:26
Speaker 2: up is kind of not really in line with what
17:29
Speaker 2: I believe. And that's just the way things go. That's
17:34
Speaker 2: the way we are. So all we can do is
17:36
Speaker 2: vote our conscience, vote, you know, the way that we
17:38
Speaker 2: feel we're led to do.
17:42
Speaker 1: So.
17:42
Speaker 2: But I'm not evangelical. I'm not running around telling people
17:45
Speaker 2: you must vote the way I do. I think it's
17:47
Speaker 2: despicable that we live in a place where we have
17:51
Speaker 2: so many freedoms, but we have what feels often like
17:53
Speaker 2: at least about half the country. It's not that many,
17:56
Speaker 2: but at times it feels like it. It just says,
17:59
Speaker 2: if you don't agree with me, we can't be friends.
18:01
Speaker 2: If you don't feel the same way that I do,
18:03
Speaker 2: we're not We shouldn't even talk to each other. But
18:06
Speaker 2: this friend and I did. We talked for about an
18:09
Speaker 2: hour about things, and maybe even longer, and we covered
18:12
Speaker 2: a lot of things that you know, would be considered
18:15
Speaker 2: probably taboo for a lot of people. And I respected
18:19
Speaker 2: his opinions. I respected his point of view. I respected
18:24
Speaker 2: his ability to have a conversation, you know, with me
18:28
Speaker 2: about it, because it's important for all of us to
18:30
Speaker 2: hear what each other has to say. So and he
18:34
Speaker 2: did the same for me, and we just had a
18:36
Speaker 2: civil conversation. We're discouraged from doing that, by the way.
18:39
Speaker 2: We have a lot of people in this country that
18:41
Speaker 2: don't want you to do that because they're worried that
18:43
Speaker 2: you might agree on something. I firmly believe that's the
18:47
Speaker 2: reason that Charlie Kirk was killed. I believe that's the
18:50
Speaker 2: reason that Nick Shirley is probably in trouble. You just
18:53
Speaker 2: we're discouraged from just talking because you got people that
18:57
Speaker 2: feel like there's a there's a definite right answer to
19:02
Speaker 2: every question, and if you don't share that with them,
19:05
Speaker 2: then you're you're wrong and you shouldn't even be listened to.
19:09
Speaker 2: And I just wanted to share that. I wanted people
19:11
Speaker 2: to know that. And I don't encourage you to do
19:14
Speaker 2: it with just anybody, but there are people out there
19:17
Speaker 2: that you can have a conversation with and you can
19:19
Speaker 2: disagree on things and it's okay. And that's that's where
19:22
Speaker 2: we should be. And to be able to do that.
19:25
Speaker 2: Never no one ever get you know, any sort of hostility,
19:29
Speaker 2: no anger, No one was ever upset. I was never upset.
19:32
Speaker 2: I hope I didn't never upset him. Didn't seem to
19:34
Speaker 2: be the case. But it's encouraging because we need more
19:38
Speaker 2: of that, we need more people just being it because
19:41
Speaker 2: by the end, you go, well, we agree on more
19:42
Speaker 2: than maybe we thought we were in the beginning, and
19:45
Speaker 2: that's encouraging. And that's the reality of a more centrist
19:48
Speaker 2: kind of view on things, is that if we can
19:50
Speaker 2: say look, we're more like than we thought. You know,
19:57
Speaker 2: I'm a strong advocate for you know, let everybody live
20:01
Speaker 2: their life. If they're not hurting you and they're not
20:04
Speaker 2: hurting someone else, let them do it. Are they breaking
20:08
Speaker 2: a law, are they hurting someone No, well then just
20:11
Speaker 2: you know, let them do it. It's my faith tells
20:15
Speaker 2: me that we have a God who you know, doesn't
20:18
Speaker 2: dictate what we do. He tells us what we should do,
20:21
Speaker 2: but he doesn't force us to do it. And I
20:23
Speaker 2: feel like that spills over into what the Founders intended
20:26
Speaker 2: for us as citizens here is you know, we have
20:29
Speaker 2: our free will. Doesn't mean that you won't be punished
20:32
Speaker 2: for it, but it means you should be able to
20:34
Speaker 2: make those decisions on your own. We had a great
20:37
Speaker 2: conversation and I really look forward to the next time
20:39
Speaker 2: we talk. We probably won't talk politics at all, not
20:43
Speaker 2: because I mean I would. I would talk politics with
20:46
Speaker 2: him again at any time, just because it was so positive.
20:48
Speaker 2: But I just share that story to say that there
20:51
Speaker 2: is some hope. There are people out there who are
20:54
Speaker 2: willing to chat with you and be able to express
21:00
Speaker 2: things here what you have to express, and that we
21:02
Speaker 2: are there is some hope. That's what I'm trying to
21:06
Speaker 2: share with you. There's some hope. Today's show brought to

Speaker 2: University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert
22:02
Speaker 2: experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of
22:05
Speaker 2: those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
22:08
Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
22:11
Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here

23:01
Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
23:04
Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
23:10
Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
23:14
Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
23:18
Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
23:21
Speaker 2: square and that away for you, and while they're there
23:23
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
23:26
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
23:29
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
23:32
Speaker 2: to be, and you need some repair work done to
23:35
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
23:37
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
23:41
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
23:44
Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
23:48
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
23:51
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
23:54
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
23:57
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
24:00
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
24:03
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
24:05
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
24:08
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
24:09
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
24:12
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
24:15
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
24:18
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
24:21
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
24:24

Speaker 2: o dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right
24:34
Speaker 2: after the break, I realized I didn't say who the
24:46
Speaker 2: person was, and it's it wasn't necessarily intentional. Just sometimes
24:52
Speaker 2: when I share some personal stuff, I don't necessarily say
24:55
Speaker 2: who it is that I was talking to in that situation.
24:58
Speaker 2: But many of you, I know, I had a previous
25:02
Speaker 2: life working in music radio and I worked for a
25:04
Speaker 2: few radio stations, and there was a time when I
25:06
Speaker 2: was program director of a top forty station and I
25:09
Speaker 2: had someone who was working with me there and he
25:12
Speaker 2: did the night shift. I was afternoons. He came on
25:15
Speaker 2: after me, but his name was Chris Klick, and he
25:17
Speaker 2: just he went by the name Click on the radio.
25:20
Speaker 2: So that's who I was talking about. And you know,
25:22
Speaker 2: I'm disappointed with myself that he and I haven't communicated
25:27
Speaker 2: more in the last you know, years, But I'm really
25:30
Speaker 2: glad that he reached out. And I hate that he
25:32
Speaker 2: reached out because of a few people, a few friends
25:36
Speaker 2: that and coworkers that have passed away, but I'm glad
25:40
Speaker 2: that he did. So that's who it was. I didn't
25:42
Speaker 2: I meant to eventually come around and say who he was,
25:45
Speaker 2: but I guess I never did that, so I just
25:46
Speaker 2: wanted to tell you who it was and click. If
25:49
Speaker 2: you're listening, buddy, thanks for jumping in here. Even if
25:53
Speaker 2: you don't stick with it. I don't know, I don't
25:55
Speaker 2: know what you're going to do with it, but I'm
25:58
Speaker 2: really proud of you, buddy, and I'm glad that you're
26:00
Speaker 2: doing what you're doing career wise, and like I said,
26:04
Speaker 2: really glad to have been part of a small part
26:06
Speaker 2: of that journey along the way, I think, and you
26:09
Speaker 2: just keep on doing your thing, man. I just couldn't
26:11
Speaker 2: be more proud of you. All right. So, if you
26:14
Speaker 2: want to have a successful morning routine each day, experts
26:23
Speaker 2: say that you just need to make it a realistic one.
26:27
Speaker 2: They say building a morning routine of getting up at
26:31
Speaker 2: five am every day or copying an influencer's checklist doesn't
26:40
Speaker 2: necessarily always work for you. They say. Routines that actually
26:45
Speaker 2: work are the ones built for real life, not for
26:47
Speaker 2: your fantasy self. And basically you need to focus on
26:51
Speaker 2: simple basics waking up at the same time each day,
26:54
Speaker 2: trying to get some natural light, doing one small thing
26:57
Speaker 2: that gets your body moving. So instead of trying to
27:00
Speaker 2: cram in a dozen habits every morning, pick a few
27:03
Speaker 2: anchors that you can stick to even on low energy mornings.
27:08
Speaker 2: And the goal isn't to impress anyone or to be
27:11
Speaker 2: ultra productive. It's to feel a little bit more human
27:15
Speaker 2: and grounded when the day starts. And this is true
27:18
Speaker 2: throughout the day, this is true throughout the year. We
27:22
Speaker 2: talk about this kind of thing whenever we're talking about
27:25
Speaker 2: New Year's resolutions and some of those things. You can't
27:29
Speaker 2: go into this like with a huge swing and expect it. Now.
27:34
Speaker 2: If you can stick with it with a huge swing,
27:36
Speaker 2: that's great. But here we have some experts kind of
27:39
Speaker 2: just saying, just be realistic, that's all. If you need
27:43
Speaker 2: to relax, and I mean really relax. Travel and Leisure
27:48
Speaker 2: has checked with their experts to name the most relaxing
27:51
Speaker 2: destination in the world, and all of them pick the
27:55
Speaker 2: same place. They say, Costa Rica is your destination. Slower
27:59
Speaker 2: pace of life, strong connection to nature, pure vita or
28:05
Speaker 2: pure vita, so that's pure life, the mindset. Sorry to
28:09
Speaker 2: my Latin speaking listeners, they say that this pure avita lifestyle,
28:17
Speaker 2: that mindset helps you to unplug almost instantly. Rainforest volcanoes, beaches,
28:23
Speaker 2: hot springs, landscape. It encourages the Mayberry effect, the slowdown
28:29
Speaker 2: wellness built into the experience, whether it's forest bathing, surf sessions,
28:34
Speaker 2: spa rituals. But you're basically getting into the famous blue
28:38
Speaker 2: zones where people tend to live longer, healthier lives. So
28:42
Speaker 2: Costa Rica is your place for relaxation, making it easy apparently.
28:47
Speaker 2: A sixty four year old woman says that it was
28:51
Speaker 2: her unusual diet that now has her feeling healthy, and
28:57
Speaker 2: all she had to do to get there was eat
29:00
Speaker 2: sardines for four months. Her name is Jane Krummit. She
29:04
Speaker 2: ate only sardines and a small amount of oil for
29:06
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty days. After years of struggling with
29:09
Speaker 2: weight gain, chronic pain, and inflammation, she says the extreme
29:13
Speaker 2: plan helped her lose about twenty five pounds, It lowered
29:16
Speaker 2: her blood sugar, boosted her energy, and resolved long term
29:20
Speaker 2: foot pain. The diet was recommended by a doctor who
29:25
Speaker 2: calls sardines a superfood, praising the protein and its healthy fats,
29:31
Speaker 2: and says that the short sardine diets can jumpstart metabolism. However,
29:37
Speaker 2: nutrition experts warn that eating only one food isn't balanced
29:42
Speaker 2: and can mean missing key nutrients like fiber. Health officials
29:46
Speaker 2: continue to advise a varied diet and checking with a
29:50
Speaker 2: doctor before trying anything extreme. But I mean, it worked
29:57
Speaker 2: for this lady, maybe it could work for you. That'll
30:02
Speaker 2: do it for I'm not telling you to do it though.
30:04
Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Wednesday edition of the show.
