• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, twenty fourth day of February. I'm Wes, thanks
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: for joining me. Working a way through this final week
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: of February. The best month. I mean, I think that's
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: pretty standard, right. Everybody knows it's the best month. Our
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: birthday is in there, but that's that's not the reason.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: It's you know, love and groundhogs and and it's the
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: short month. You know, you got to make the most
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: of February so that you can, you know, you gotta
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: work work hard to you know, get every every drop
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: from the teat that is those twenty eight days, you know,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: twenty eight and a quarter days.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Someone asked me yesterday. I was on the phone with
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: a friend and he said, is this a leap year? No?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: And he just, you know, why not? What's the because
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: it's an even year, and it's like, well, it's got
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: to be, you know, divisible by four. That's what you
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: need think of. This is the easy way, you know,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: this is and I know most people have this, but
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: for some people they don't know. And it's just is
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: there a presidential election happening, then it's a leap year.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: That's all you need to know. Are there riots and
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: chaos in the streets and we're electing a president, then yes,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: that would be a leap year. Those are the two
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: factors that have to come in. It just seems to
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: be the way, doesn't it. So we're getting we're working
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: our way through these final days and then we'll get
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: into this, you know, roll into the month of March,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: start pushing our way towards graduations and things. I got
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: an interesting story coming up after the break. We'll talk
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: about this mom who says to her children, you don't
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: get to chase your dreams when it comes to college.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: And i'd be honest with you, I'm on board. I
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: know it's not a brand new com but we'll get
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: to that coming up a little bit later in the show.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: So what I have today and this is kind of
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: on the and I was just having this conversation with
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: someone over the weekend about this idea, this notion. I
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: don't remember exactly what the number is because I heard
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: a couple, but I think it's one hundred and eighty.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I think that's the number, the magic number. Maybe one sixty,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: but I believe it's one eighty. But I've heard both numbers,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: heard as many as two hundred. But there's this this concept,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: this idea that there's a maximum number of people that
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: we can have in our lives and have any sort
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: of a significant relationship and connection with. And I'm for
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: the purposes of this, I'm going to say one eighty.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: And like I said, I've heard two hundred. I've heard
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: one sixty one eighties in the middle, I've heard one eighty.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: That's the number I'm going with. But you'll get the idea.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: It's not the specific number, isn't. It's just an estimate.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: It's an average. And they say that based on this number,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: this average, that's about how many people that you can
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: have in your life and have some sort of a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: significant amount of time with them, interactions with them. There's
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: just we're limited on our ability to manage relationships beyond
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: that number of about one pint eighty, and that social
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: media is something that is pushing us to try to
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: expand that number, but we're not able to do that.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: That's not something that we can modify. And it's an
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: interesting thing when you think about it, because what we
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: do typically on social media as we end up sort
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: of collecting some of these friendships and connections and things. Now,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, I do see a benefit in
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe somebody that you you know, you were
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: friends with in elementary school and you'd love to reconnect
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and find some way to just you know, how are things,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: But that's not really part of this one hundred and
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: eighty like unless you're trying to figure out how to
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: fit them in where you're going to regularly keep in
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: touch with them, and of course they have to be
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: on board with that as well. You can't just pop
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: in and like, hey, we were friends when we were seven,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and I want to know how things are, and we're
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: going to have to start having coffee once a week
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: like they they have to be in on this for
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: this to work, you know. But there's people that you
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: can you can connect with that you that aren't going
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: to be part of this group, and that's really all
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: that they're going to be. And then there's the people
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: that you're going to have even acquaintances, some sort of
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: a connection you know, every now and then you check in,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: happy birthday, whatever it is. They can be you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: part of this, I don't spend a lot of time there,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: but they're still, you know, part of my one eighty.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: And then of course, as the as you start kind
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: of whittling this down, you go, you know, you get
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: into this smaller and smaller group of the people that
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: you connect with daily, weekly, whatever it is, very regularly,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: and you spend very quality time connecting with them, and
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: that social media because of how big it is and
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: how like Facebook, for example, and I don't even know
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: what it is, but it's like you five thousand friends
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: or something you cap out, that's what it used to be.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I guess it's the same so and I have. And
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you with complete honesty, I have no idea
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: how many friends I have on Facebook. I know how
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: many actual friends I have on there, and I know
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: how many real friends I have that are definitely part
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: of my one eighty in that small funnel group and
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: aren't even on social media, and I know how many
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: of those people that are important to me. I don't
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: know how many people have sent me a friend request,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: and you listening maybe one of these people. I don't
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: but if you've reached out to me on there and
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: sent a friend request and I've accepted it, and you've explained, Hey,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I listened to you, and you know, look, I appreciate
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: that I do. But I'm all for there being a
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: connection there. But it's very hard for someone to take
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: all of the people that you're friends with on social
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: media and have, you know, pull them into your one eighty.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: It's just it's a challenge. It's a challenge for all
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: of us to do that. So while I appreciate that
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: we've connected, and there's there's many people that I've and
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I've gotten to be friends with, many of you that
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: do listen, and that means a lot to me, like
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: you've become part of my one eighty. And then there's
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: an number of people that have sent me requests because
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: they think I'm another guy named Wes Carroll, and it
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: happens sometimes and sometimes I accept those and sometimes I
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: don't because I don't really know who these people are.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: But I'm just telling you this to say I don't
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: know what my friend count is on there. And there
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: was a time early on in this whole process where
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: people were like, well, it's race to five thousand, and
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: see that's not important to me because I know I
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: can't connect with five thousand people regularly. However, with social media,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: we convince ourselves that we can because we're posting content
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: that people are receiving or sharing or enjoying or whatever
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: it is. And that's when the celebrity thing kicks in
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: because there are cases where people will follow a celebrity
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: they feel like because the celebrity's posting things, they're connecting
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: with that celebrity, so they're somehow now part of their
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: one point eighty without actually knowing that number. So a singer,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: a actor, whatever, whatever, kind of an athlete, somebody that
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: you follow closely that you think this is somebody that
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: you know. I like the things that they post, and
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: these athletes and performers and things start to think, these
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: are all people that are my friends because I have
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: this platform, I have this ability to share my messaging
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: to them, and they're gonna do what I say. They're
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: gonna do whatever. When it comes to voting, when it
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: comes to anything to do with politics, and we've now
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: here recently learned that that's not the case. People don't
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: really care what celebrities are telling them to do when
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: it comes to voting. They like to hear things like, hey,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: here's a movie that I went to see and I
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: liked and you should check it out. Or even here's
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: a song that you know from an artist that I like,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: and because you like my music, maybe you'll also like
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: their music. I think people like that, but I don't
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: think people are listening to Taylor Swift when she says
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: this is who you should go vote for. In fact,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: there's now some research to support that, and some on
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the left are starting to come around on this notion
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: of maybe that's not the best thing as far as
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: the look goes. So when you have someone now like
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Bill Maher, who again not a conservative, this is someone
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: on the left. This is someone who is definitely still
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: very much on the left, but isn't part of the woke,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: progressive far left anymore because he says, hey, I'm still
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: where I was. It's just all moved to the left.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: It's something that Elon Musk also said. But he on
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: his show this week Club Random his podcast, was interviewing
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: John Mellencamp, and he was basically just saying that you've
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: got these tone deaf celebrities. We have these people that
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: are clueless about what real Americans are dealing with. That
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: they're clueless on the messaging that's going out, and it's
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: time for He says, Democrats to cut them loose. You
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: don't need them because they're not helping your cause and
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: they're hurting your cause. And you know this is something
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: coming right after you know, we're in that Awards season
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: and you know there were people that were wearing their
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: be Good supporting Renee Good who was killed in Minneapolis,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: and he's just basically saying we have to pull away.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: John Mellencamp agreed that it was time to pull away
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: from it. And it's an interesting messaging coming from someone
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: who is a celebrity that's telling other Democrats it's time
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: to pull away Democrat leadership. I don't think there's any
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: hypocrisy there. I think he's just speaking like this in
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: this particular show that he does. This isn't you know,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: he does his regular TV show. This podcast is just
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: him talking to people that he either is friends with
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: or that he wants to just you know, have on
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: his show as a guest and maybe not necessarily talk
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: about politics. But this sentiment is starting to grow as
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: people are realizing that no, celebrities aren't helping, they're hurting now,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: you have folks on the right who have tried to
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: embrace certain celebrities, and I think it's been largely a no, no, no.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: We have some too, but let's be honest, and I mean,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: let's have a real heart to heart here. Are you
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Are you going to go vote at any point the
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: rest of your days November? Okay, we have an election
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: coming up in November. Are you going to go vote
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: on something based on what Kid Rock tells you to
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: vote for? Is it something that you're really are you?
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Are you looking to kid Rock for that kind of guidance? Right?
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Are you looking to Dean Kin for that kind of guy?
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: And listen, I'm not mocking either of them. I'm not
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: knocking Kevin Sorbo, super nice guy. By the way, I've
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: spent some time with Kevin Sorbo, super nice guy. I'm
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: not knocking the conservative celebrity. Christy Swanson spent some time
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: with her, super nice person. But I'm not knocking the
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: conservative celebrity. We just lost one, Robert Duvall. Right, That's
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: not what I'm doing because I do think for a
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: while at least it was important to know not all
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: of them or voting on the left not all of them.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: So what's been created, of course, is this situation where
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: you have the folks on the right that are just
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: fed up with it, that are letting Hollywood know with
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: their dollars, they're not going to certain movies, they're not
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: subscribing to certain streaming services. That's been their way to
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: express it. It's not really about voting or not voting.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: It's about the financial side of it. So that's kind
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: of where we are now. And I agree with Bill
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Maher completely on this. I've been saying it for a while,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: but I don't have a don't I don't have a
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: megaphone to the people on the left. The people on
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: the left who listen to me or have someone else
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: listen to me and relay back to them, they're not
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: really relaying back those kinds of things. They just relay
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: back like when I call someone, you know, Reverend Urkele, Senator,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Reverend Urkele, you know, those those kinds of things, get
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: those kinds of things get back to them, or jack
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: ass off. Like I don't know for sure on that one.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I've been told, but I don't have that first hand
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: experience like I do with Reverend Rkele. But my point
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: is it is very important that we realize that celebrities
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: not the best place to go for People on the
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: right have known that, and people on the right should
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: continue to vote with their wallets when it comes to
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: some of these companies if that's where your heart is
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: and that's what you think, and it's important to take
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: note of things like, you know, AARP that is definitely
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: a pro left and if you're paying for a membership there,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: you're supporting left causes. That's what you're doing. That's another way.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: It's another thing. A lot of people don't even stop
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: to think about it, but it's the reality. I made
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: a joke one day on the radio about I'd gotten
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: my stuff from AARP, and I had people, oh, I
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: can't believe you would give them. I was joking about
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: being at retirement age in their minds in my forties.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: When I started to get that that's all I was doing.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: But I got quickly reminded, don't even joke about that
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: fair enough. So just remember this thing about this one
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: hundred and eighty the people in your life that you
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: really want to focus your time on. And I had
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: this conversation with Jake as well recently, he's seventeen. He
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: spends some time online. There's a couple of video game
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: message boards where he's specifically talking about certain games with people.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I go through the stuff, I read it. I read
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: his posts or read their posts. I'm that parent. That's
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: the understanding that we have. He's seventeen, not quite an
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: adult yet. I don't know. As long as I'm paying
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: for the phone plan, I think we have a certain
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: amount of understanding on where things are. But me reminding
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: him this and maybe this is something to pass on
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: to you can maybe digest this, but also maybe pass
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: on to your kids. There's people that are in this
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: one eighty who are becoming part of this one eighty
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: in your life. They're probably not the people that you're
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: talking about Tetris on a message board with right. Those
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: are probably not people that are ever going to make
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: it into your one eighty. There's people that are in
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: your one eighty or who are going to be in
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: your one eighty who needs your attention, they need your focus,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: they need your time. They want that connection and you
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: may not realize it, but you need that connection with
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: them as well. Today's show brought to you by Columbus

• 18:32
  Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six or five eight forty five hundred,

  Speaker 2: more West Carol Morning Show right after the break well,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: as we enter our way closer to March, and that
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: means April May and then an end of another school year. Obviously,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: we got graduations coming up for some, and then the
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: question is what to do next for many coming out
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: of high school, especially Well, there's a mom who has
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: gone viral on social media, specifically I guess on her
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: TikTok account. Her name is Ruth Han, and she says
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: that she is not letting her kids pick just any
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: college major. She says that things are way too shaky
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: in the job market and tuition prices are high, so
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: she says college isn't the place to explore passions anymore.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: It's too expensive for that. She says, basically, I'm giving
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: you four options, four in demand majors that I will
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: allow you to go to school for nursing, accounting, engineering,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: or computer science. Hans says she sees college as a
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: white collar trade school and she wants her kids to
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: graduate with skills that lead to stable, well paying jobs,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: arguing that some schools cost nearly four hundred thousand dollars
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: and student debt topping one point six trillion, families have
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: to treat college like a serious financial investment. A lot
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: of people have been saying this for a while. This
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: isn't a brand new thing, but it's interesting now that
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: we have someone that's putting it out there in these
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: specific terms. So, so when you win the lottery, they
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: always say it changes everything, you know, it just changes everything. Well,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: there's a twenty two year old guy who won the
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: lottery jackpot and he used the numbers tied to family
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: birthdays and milestones, and she said. He says playing the
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: numbers was a bit of a family tradition. He said,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: in my family, it's been an informal tradition for years.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: This is on social media, I guess in Reddit saying
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: on my grandma's birthday, someone usually plays lottery numbers based
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: on important family dates. Sometimes we play together, sometimes everyone
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: plays on their own. There's never been an explicit agreement
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: that if someone wins, the money gets shared. It was
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: just treated as a fun tradition. So he says he
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: bought a ticket himself with his own money, and the
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: wind wasn't huge, but it was enough to pay off
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: debt by a small apartment, put away some savings, and
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: at first, he says, everyone cheered, and then suddenly they
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: did not say that family members taught him he needed
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: to share the money. With him because he used family
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: numbers to win, he refused. Now they've turned on him,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: he says, now that my family isn't speaking to me.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: They're treating me like I betrayed everyone. He said, my
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: parents are But they say I'm technically right. But the
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: sharing would have avoid conflict. It's an interesting concept here.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: I would have to say I'm unless there's been some
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: kind of an agreement made and established. It sounds like
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: he just played the lottery. And if it's not enough
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: money that we're talking, you know, a billion dollar jackpot,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: it's probably not really enough to share around quite the
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: same God, I probably go to his side on this.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know all the specifics, but based on this information,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: it's just tough. Because they say, when you win any
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: amount of money that's over I guess a certain amount,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: it starts to change things drastically, and then everyone comes
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: in and says, well, what about my share of it?
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: So it would be an interesting problem to have, wouldn't it.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I feel like if only God
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: would give me the opportunity to face this challenge, I
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: think I could rise up and do it in a
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: good way with his help and goddance and helping others.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Of course, you know financial technology company called smart asset
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: love the name always have analyze all fifty to states
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: to determine which had the healthiest residents. They looked at
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: a number of factors, including rates of obesity, diabetes, physical
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: activity level, smoking, drinking, air pollution, amount of sleep, and
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: other things. The healthy est state in the country is Utah,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: followed by Colorado, two states where you're just you know,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: probably outside, really enjoying, and then Hawaii is third. That's
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: another one, South Dakota. I mean, these are all places
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: where you just want to be outside. Vermont at number five.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: It all makes sense Towards the bottom of the list,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: West Virginia, Arkansas, Louisiana. I mean want to be outside,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: probably in West Virginia, right, I mean not really the
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: not really the deliverance part, but you know, you'd want
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: to get out there and be out there in it, right,
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: enjoying the outdoors and all of those things. I would think.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: So in case you're wandering, Georgia, Alabama in the bottom half.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: So so in Tennessee, it's like fourth from the bottom.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: I mentioned the bottom of the list, but in an
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Alabama seventh from the bottom. So do with that as
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: you will, read into that as you as you shall.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Tuesday edition of the show.
• 25:34
