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 Carrol Morning Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Monday morning, twenty third day of September. I'm Wes, thanks
0:13
Speaker 2: for joining me. It's fall. It hasn't felt like it
0:16
Speaker 2: for a few days. It did for a few days,
0:18
Speaker 2: and then it didn't. We go through that whole false
0:20
Speaker 2: fall thing, right, we know the drill, you know, not
0:24
Speaker 2: to get excited, you know, not to get the heavy
0:26
Speaker 2: coats out or anything. Yet. Don't even worry about the
0:28
Speaker 2: hoodies just yet. You don't need that yet.
0:32
Speaker 1: You know.
0:33
Speaker 2: It was a little bit cool for a few days.
0:35
Speaker 2: It felt nice, and it's been boiling for a couple
0:37
Speaker 2: of days and that's just kind of how it goes.
0:40
Speaker 2: We got some a chance of more of these storms
0:43
Speaker 2: coming in. We're not out of hurricane season yet, but
0:44
Speaker 2: we're officially into fall. That's started. And you know, they
0:49
Speaker 2: get into astronomical fall. Fall started at Labor Day. That's
0:53
Speaker 2: the way we do it. That's you know, September, October, November,
0:57
Speaker 2: that's fall. December, January, February that's winter. That's that's our cycle.
1:01
Speaker 2: That's what it should be, right, I know, you get
1:05
Speaker 2: people that want to be technical about it, but let's
1:07
Speaker 2: you know, March, April, May, Spring, June, July, August. You
1:11
Speaker 2: tell me that those don't match what our normal sort
1:14
Speaker 2: of the most climate wise anyway for us. But anyway,
1:19
Speaker 2: so officially though astronomically, you know, we've we've we've blown
1:24
Speaker 2: right past the old equinox is what I'm saying. We
1:27
Speaker 2: equinoxed over the weekend. Have you have you personally equinox yet?
1:32
Speaker 2: Because we as a society, as a planet, we equinoxed
1:36
Speaker 2: over the weekend, and we're officially into it. We had
1:39
Speaker 2: a couple of tennis practices over the weekend that did
1:42
Speaker 2: not feel anything like fall. It still felt, you know,
1:46
Speaker 2: like you could cook brownies outside. That's what it felt like.
1:50
Speaker 2: You just take a tray of brownies, put it out
1:52
Speaker 2: on your cart. Still felt like that. That's what we're
1:54
Speaker 2: still dealing with and probably in our houses and attics
1:56
Speaker 2: and things. Now. The plus side of this, and I
1:58
Speaker 2: think I may have talked about this on the show
2:00
Speaker 2: last week. You get that period where it's not hot
2:05
Speaker 2: enough for your ac to kick on in your house,
2:09
Speaker 2: right and if you don't have fans and things blowing,
2:11
Speaker 2: you got just kind of stale air, and that to
2:14
Speaker 2: me is hotter than you know, like normal period. Like
2:19
Speaker 2: you know, because the ac when it's kicking in, you
2:21
Speaker 2: got air moving, it feels all right. But when it's
2:23
Speaker 2: there's nothing happening, that's when it feels hot. That's when
2:26
Speaker 2: it's kind of miserable. And I went to and in
2:28
Speaker 2: my studio, I do have some ac that comes in here.
2:32
Speaker 2: But again, if it's not blowing, and you have to
2:36
Speaker 2: be very particular about the fans situation. I have a
2:39
Speaker 2: at the moment, I have a fan blowing that makes
2:43
Speaker 2: no noise. But if I have to get a bigger fan,
2:46
Speaker 2: that does make noise because it's so hot. I mean
2:49
Speaker 2: this time of the morning, it's the you know, the
2:51
Speaker 2: house cooled down overnight. We keep it cooler when we sleep.
2:54
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people do that. I don't
2:55
Speaker 2: unless you don't like sleeping in the cold. But if
2:57
Speaker 2: you know, uh, anyway, So that's where we are. We're
3:00
Speaker 2: officially and we're you know, closing in on inching our
3:06
Speaker 2: way towards a month to election day. That's where we are.
3:09
Speaker 2: Uh So other other things for the weekend, the number
3:12
Speaker 2: of people who have sent me a photo or a
3:16
Speaker 2: link including family. My bride did it the other day.
3:22
Speaker 2: The Oreo cokes or Oreo coke zeros, Okay, I'll be honest.
3:28
Speaker 2: The first time I saw one, I thought, that doesn't
3:30
Speaker 2: interest me. I'm very strict on my Like if I
3:35
Speaker 2: go to buy Oreos, there's two Oreos to me, that
3:38
Speaker 2: go three. The peanut butter ones are good, but typically
3:42
Speaker 2: it's give me the Oreo flavored Oreo. Give me the
3:45
Speaker 2: golden Oreo, the vanilla one. Those are the two. Those
3:48
Speaker 2: are the Oreo flavors. To me. You give me one
3:52
Speaker 2: that's got red velvet in it, and it's just I
3:54
Speaker 2: love red velvet. I don't need that in an Oreo.
3:57
Speaker 2: That's not my thing. Maybe they're good, I don't know.
3:59
Speaker 2: You used to throwing in, you know, some kind of
4:01
Speaker 2: sweet candy in the middle of it. I know. I
4:04
Speaker 2: don't need nerd oreos, right, I don't. That's that's a
4:08
Speaker 2: bit much for me. Don't need churo oreos. I don't
4:11
Speaker 2: need any of that stuff. Any of that sweet and
4:14
Speaker 2: salty or sweet and sour. I don't need it. Just
4:17
Speaker 2: give me Oreos. And when it comes to drinks, like
4:20
Speaker 2: and I do you know, I appreciate the value, and
4:23
Speaker 2: when it comes to a soft drink like a vanilla
4:25
Speaker 2: coke or a cherry coke or any of that stuff,
4:27
Speaker 2: I do I don't drink a lot of those. I
4:30
Speaker 2: don't drink a lot of any of the soft drinks anymore.
4:32
Speaker 2: After my third round of kidney stones, I've cut back
4:36
Speaker 2: a lot on that. But anyway, when when Jill on
4:39
Speaker 2: I Think Friday sent me a link to the uh
4:43
Speaker 2: Oreo flavored Coke zero, I thought, now I'm gonna do
4:47
Speaker 2: something I don't normally do, and that's spend more money
4:51
Speaker 2: on a single bottle of I like to buy the
4:54
Speaker 2: six packs, and I like to buy them on sale
4:57
Speaker 2: because I'm cheap. That's it's just who I am. And
5:02
Speaker 2: the older I get, the cheaper I am. So buying
5:04
Speaker 2: one bottle that costs as much as a six pack,
5:06
Speaker 2: it kind of bothers me a lot. Anyway, I thought, well,
5:09
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it, and I'll give my kids a
5:11
Speaker 2: chance to try it, and I'll try it. So that
5:14
Speaker 2: was part of our weekend. Yesterday, I bought one of
5:16
Speaker 2: those it tastes like you ate a bunch of oreos
5:19
Speaker 2: and drank a coke zero. I haven't done that in
5:21
Speaker 2: a really long time. That's what it tasted like. If
5:24
Speaker 2: you're curious at all, if you're not interested in the like,
5:27
Speaker 2: and if you want to have that taste in your
5:29
Speaker 2: mouth without eating a bunch of oreos, that's the way
5:32
Speaker 2: to go. Now. The other thing that we did is
5:35
Speaker 2: we decided, well the boys and I decided. Jill wasn't
5:39
Speaker 2: really part of this decision. We decided to try. They
5:43
Speaker 2: do a air fryer, a deep fried oreo so and
5:48
Speaker 2: it's basically just your favorite pancake batter and then you
5:52
Speaker 2: dunk your oreos in there, and then you put them
5:54
Speaker 2: on a tray, right, I mean in the tray, but
5:58
Speaker 2: a on a sheet. You get the the paper, you
6:01
Speaker 2: put parchment paper down and you spray it. I'm giving
6:04
Speaker 2: you the full recipe. You spray it with you know,
6:06
Speaker 2: whatever kind of buttery cooking spray, and then you cook
6:11
Speaker 2: your oreos four hundred degrees about five minutes, four to
6:15
Speaker 2: five minutes, flip them over. You know, it's a little
6:18
Speaker 2: tricky sometimes, but you flip them over. They were quite tasty.
6:21
Speaker 2: Put some powdered sugar on them. When they're done. They
6:23
Speaker 2: were a hit and even Jill late two of them.
6:26
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm supposed to tell you that,
6:27
Speaker 2: but she ate two of them. She liked them. She
6:29
Speaker 2: doesn't even typically eat oreos, that's not an Australian thing,
6:32
Speaker 2: but she ate two of them. So we had a
6:34
Speaker 2: big Oreo weekend, big Oreo day yesterday, if you will.
6:37
Speaker 2: But we had tennis as part of our day yesterday,
6:41
Speaker 2: so we earned a bit of that. At least Jill,
6:44
Speaker 2: I know, earned it because she also ran yesterday. All Right, well,
6:47
Speaker 2: let's get into some stuff cuz we're, you know, almost
6:50
Speaker 2: seven minutes into the show, and we got to get
6:54
Speaker 2: into the into what's going on in the world. And
6:59
Speaker 2: I want to talk about a couple things. The fact
7:02
Speaker 2: that we have no one at the wheel, we have
7:05
Speaker 2: no one running the ship in this country. We have
7:07
Speaker 2: suspected that for a while. We have known that that
7:12
Speaker 2: was probably the case, based on the way things went
7:14
Speaker 2: in the election four years ago, the way they were
7:18
Speaker 2: able to just and we've talked about the whack a
7:20
Speaker 2: mole scenario. They took a candidate for president, they hid
7:24
Speaker 2: him away, they hid him in the basement, and you know,
7:30
Speaker 2: really did nothing to actually run a campaign for him
7:35
Speaker 2: for president. He just laid low. That's all he was
7:38
Speaker 2: asked to do was just don't get out in public
7:41
Speaker 2: and embarrasses. And he was the perfect person to be
7:46
Speaker 2: this candidate that should he win. And I think they
7:50
Speaker 2: felt like with everything laid out for them with COVID,
7:53
Speaker 2: he was going to be somebody that they could push
7:56
Speaker 2: across the finish line, that they could weekend earn him
8:00
Speaker 2: across the finish line. Who used that line? That was?
8:02
Speaker 1: Uh?
8:04
Speaker 2: That was DeSantis, wasn't it. That's basically you know what
8:08
Speaker 2: we're looking at in this White House. And if you
8:11
Speaker 2: don't believe that, that's exactly what we're dealing with. He
8:18
Speaker 2: just had an event recently where he was there and
8:23
Speaker 2: he was supposed to introduce the leader of India and
8:28
Speaker 2: he couldn't remember who he was supposed to introduce. He
8:32
Speaker 2: had no memory of it, He had no idea who
8:34
Speaker 2: it was. He just sort of, you know, fumbled his
8:37
Speaker 2: way into all of it, and he just forgot who
8:42
Speaker 2: he was supposed to introduce and decided to, you know,
8:46
Speaker 2: yell at his staff right there in front of God
8:49
Speaker 2: and everybody, as they say, here is the audio of
8:53
Speaker 2: our president forgetting what the event was that he was
8:58
Speaker 2: there for Prime Minister of India's who he's supposed to
9:02
Speaker 2: be introducing. But here's what he did. So I want
9:05
Speaker 2: to thank you all for being here. And now who
9:08
Speaker 2: am I introducing next?
9:13
Speaker 1: Who's next? Distinguished guests.
9:23
Speaker 2: He has no idea, he has no idea. It's sad. Sorry,
9:28
Speaker 2: the audio is not louder than that. That's the best
9:30
Speaker 2: I could get out of it. I mean, I'm I
9:33
Speaker 2: snort laugh, but it's it's sad, it's really it's embarrassing.
9:40
Speaker 2: This is what we're dealing with in the world. This
9:43
Speaker 2: is what our allies are seeing. This is what our
9:49
Speaker 2: enemies are seeing. This is exactly what everyone is seeing,
9:54
Speaker 2: and this is what they know that they're dealing with
9:57
Speaker 2: when they're dealing with us on every level. This is
10:02
Speaker 2: who we are now, this is the country that we are,
10:05
Speaker 2: and this is ultimately what everyone has to deal with,
10:12
Speaker 2: and this realization that there's nobody running anything, there's no
10:17
Speaker 2: one in charge. He goes to bed early, he gets
10:20
Speaker 2: up whenever. I don't know. I don't know what the
10:22
Speaker 2: routine is. I know that he's not available except in
10:24
Speaker 2: a small window of time in the you know, mid
10:27
Speaker 2: morning to early afternoon and that's it. Takes long vacations
10:32
Speaker 2: out on the beach. He eats ice cream and somebody
10:34
Speaker 2: else is making all the decisions. And they love Kamala
10:38
Speaker 2: Harris because they know she'll be the same kind of president.
10:42
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna in my evidence in this came out
10:46
Speaker 2: quite by accident at the Oprah Winfrey events event that
10:53
Speaker 2: happened where she was. They did this big celebrity thing,
10:57
Speaker 2: this Unite for America, and they brought in all these
11:03
Speaker 2: zoomed in celebrities to show you how kind of thrown
11:07
Speaker 2: together it was, because this was really the event they
11:10
Speaker 2: wanted you to think it was. Maybe all these people
11:12
Speaker 2: would have just been there, but they weren't there. They
11:15
Speaker 2: were just zooming somewhere there. Oprah was definitely there. And
11:18
Speaker 2: here's this And let's go back just for a second
11:21
Speaker 2: before we go into what Harris said at this event
11:23
Speaker 2: and a lot of again not answering questions. Oprah Winfrey
11:28
Speaker 2: technically falls under the category of journalists. I think that's
11:32
Speaker 2: what her studies were. That's what she initially wanted to
11:34
Speaker 2: be well as she did I think journalism, and then
11:37
Speaker 2: she did sort of gossipy TV and then she got
11:40
Speaker 2: into serious. I'm gonna tell you how to live your life,
11:43
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna tell you how to lose weight. And
11:45
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tay how to lose weight again because I
11:46
Speaker 2: put it back on. I'm gonna say how to lose
11:47
Speaker 2: weight again. And I'm not mocking her for that. I'm
11:50
Speaker 2: just you know, it's just interesting that you can, uh,
11:53
Speaker 2: you know, become this iconic weight loss guru and you know,
11:57
Speaker 2: up and down, up and down while you're while you're
11:59
Speaker 2: doing it, and that's what everybody deals with. Maybe it
12:02
Speaker 2: makes her more relatable. I don't know. That's what I
12:06
Speaker 2: did for a long time in my life. Lose it,
12:08
Speaker 2: put it back on, lose it, put it back. So
12:10
Speaker 2: I get it. But you know, you buy weight watchers
12:13
Speaker 2: or whatever she did. And then, you know, just you
12:15
Speaker 2: would think that that wouldn't They would only go so
12:18
Speaker 2: far anyway. So, uh, go back to Biden when he
12:24
Speaker 2: was getting interrupted by the Easter Bonnie trying to answer questions.
12:28
Speaker 2: Go back to all the times that Biden started to
12:31
Speaker 2: say something at a press conference or in front of
12:33
Speaker 2: a crowd or to a member of the media, and
12:37
Speaker 2: he would say, oh, they don't want me to talking
12:39
Speaker 2: about that. They won't let me say that I'm going
12:41
Speaker 2: to get in trouble. You know. He would say those
12:43
Speaker 2: kinds of things. I'm not saying, They're gonna come along
12:46
Speaker 2: and have to fix that or whatever. You know. He
12:48
Speaker 2: would have these kind of comments about how he wasn't
12:51
Speaker 2: supposed to say certain things, that he himself was on
12:54
Speaker 2: a leash and he is. And here is some evidence
13:00
Speaker 2: from an Oops moment from Kamala Harris where she basically
13:03
Speaker 2: lays out that she's in the same boat. The conversation
13:07
Speaker 2: comes up about her being a gun owner, and this
13:09
Speaker 2: is something that they want to stress about her, and
13:15
Speaker 2: they want to stress this about Tim Walls, how they're
13:18
Speaker 2: gun owners and they're not coming after your guns, and
13:21
Speaker 2: they're not going to come after guns because they themselves
13:23
Speaker 2: are gun owners. In fact, this is what Kamala Harris
13:27
Speaker 2: says would happen if someone broke into her house to
13:31
Speaker 2: getting shot.
13:33
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I hear that.
13:35
Speaker 2: I hear that.
13:36
Speaker 1: Probably should not have said that, but my staff will
13:41
Speaker 1: deal with that later.
13:44
Speaker 2: That sounds like a very Joe Biden comment, doesn't it.
13:47
Speaker 2: My staff will deal with that later. I shouldn't have
13:50
Speaker 2: said that. My staff will deal with that later as
13:54
Speaker 2: they're all awkwardly laughing about this. I don't falter for
13:59
Speaker 2: the center. A lot of you know, Second Amendment supporters
14:04
Speaker 2: would say, in a heartbeat, Yeah, someone comes in my house,
14:06
Speaker 2: they're going to get shot. That's what we would do.
14:09
Speaker 2: If you think your life is in danger and your
14:11
Speaker 2: family's lives in danger, and you're trying to protect yourself, Yeah,
14:17
Speaker 2: that's the right thing to say. But she does it
14:20
Speaker 2: in a way where she's a I shouldn't have said.
14:23
Speaker 2: I shouldn't have said that. I'll let my staff deal
14:26
Speaker 2: with that later. That's the kind of president that's running.
14:30
Speaker 2: That's who's there. Presidents, least on the left, they seem
14:34
Speaker 2: to have more power once they're out of office, not
14:37
Speaker 2: while they're in office. Think about Barack Obama who said
14:40
Speaker 2: he and his wife in the book said that they
14:42
Speaker 2: were just happy when they got to pick what they
14:44
Speaker 2: were going to eat. That's in his book. I don't
14:48
Speaker 2: know the full context. I do know that he said it,
14:51
Speaker 2: and he was happy when they got to pick what
14:52
Speaker 2: they were going to eat, when they got to make
14:54
Speaker 2: that decision. And people said, oh, his wife's gonna run
14:56
Speaker 2: for president, she's gonna win. She doesn't want to run
14:58
Speaker 2: for president. They don't want to get back into that.
15:01
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to. They have more power now than they
15:04
Speaker 2: had when they were in office. When he was in office.
15:08
Speaker 2: I just did them, didn't I. They did that with Hillary.
15:11
Speaker 2: You know, they were the president. Hillary said that we're
15:14
Speaker 2: the president. No you're not.
15:16
Speaker 1: He is.
15:17
Speaker 2: You're the first lady. Nobody hates you for being the
15:21
Speaker 2: first lady. But you're the first lady. And you know
15:24
Speaker 2: you made a great run. They handed you the nomination
15:28
Speaker 2: instead of giving it to Bernie Sanders, who realistically earned it.
15:33
Speaker 2: But you know they pushed you aside for a Barack
15:36
Speaker 2: and all that. You made a good run at it.
15:40
Speaker 2: You had some other titles. That's great, but there's no
15:42
Speaker 2: we are the president. But yes, the Obamas have more
15:46
Speaker 2: power now than they had when they were in office.
15:48
Speaker 2: They get to decide what they want to eat. So
15:51
Speaker 2: don't kid yourself when and you know that's why they
15:55
Speaker 2: hate Trump. When Trump's the president. Trump's the president. He
16:00
Speaker 2: is the president. There's none of this little game. He
16:02
Speaker 2: doesn't have to wait for somebody to tell him what
16:04
Speaker 2: he can and can't say. That's why they don't like him.
16:07
Speaker 2: But It's also why the people that are running things
16:10
Speaker 2: behind the scenes, the people that Biden was yelling at
16:14
Speaker 2: in that video and the people that Harris says will
16:16
Speaker 2: clean things up, they're the ones that are really running things,
16:19
Speaker 2: and it's why they want her if they can't have him.
16:23
Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca

Speaker 2: from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's
17:16
Speaker 2: unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
17:20
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
17:22
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia. You think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
17:26
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
17:31
Speaker 2: right here in Columbus. Inside the planetarium at the Coca
17:35
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
17:39
Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
17:43
Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
17:46
Speaker 2: Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
17:49
Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
17:53
Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
17:56
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night
17:58
Speaker 2: events Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As
18:03
Speaker 2: Sean Crusan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I
18:08
Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
18:11
Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
18:16
Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
18:19
Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
18:25
Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
18:28
Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
18:32
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
18:36
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
18:39
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
18:41
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
18:44
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
18:48
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
18:50
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
18:53
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
18:56
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
19:00
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder, warmer weather, sometimes that
19:04
Speaker 2: stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at
19:07
Speaker 2: a situation where you'd like to add a screen door
19:10
Speaker 2: to your garage door system that you can put down
19:12
Speaker 2: and you can use your garage space as a sort
19:16
Speaker 2: of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like to
19:18
Speaker 2: work on your own cars in there, or maybe you
19:21
Speaker 2: just want a little man cavid you'd like to be
19:23
Speaker 2: able to open the door up and not invite all
19:25
Speaker 2: the insects in. They can do that for you as well,
19:28
Speaker 2: and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse
19:31
Speaker 2: than that thought of having your car trapped inside your
19:34
Speaker 2: garage and your garage door won't open and you need
19:37
Speaker 2: somebody to come help, and they do those as well.

Speaker 2: their most anticipated movies for the season allegedly is The
20:16
Speaker 2: Holiday Touchdown, a Chief's Love Story. They say it's inspired
20:21
Speaker 2: by the real life love story of Taylor Swift and
20:24
Speaker 2: Travis Kelsey and features a cameo by Travis's mom, Donna Kelsey,
20:31
Speaker 2: just further proving my point that you could easily make
20:35
Speaker 2: all this stuff up. You know, it is what it is.
20:38
Speaker 2: I know people get angry, they say, you can't say
20:41
Speaker 2: that it's not a real relationship. But I just did
20:44
Speaker 2: and I have many, many, many times. So PB and
20:49
Speaker 2: J fans going to be excited about the new Eminem's
20:51
Speaker 2: flavor now available on store shelves. The Mars Candy Company
20:55
Speaker 2: announced the release of peanut butter and Jelly emin M's.
20:58
Speaker 2: The new candy features and an outer berry flavor with
21:01
Speaker 2: a peanut butter center, and Eminem's rep saying in a statement,
21:05
Speaker 2: peanut butter Eminem's have always been a popular flavor with
21:08
Speaker 2: their fans were excited to double down on their excitement
21:11
Speaker 2: with a twist. The new Eminem's peanut butter and jelly
21:15
Speaker 2: taps into a cross generational staple, turning a delicious and
21:20
Speaker 2: comforting snack into a bite sized treat to be enjoyed
21:24
Speaker 2: and shared. I'll try them. Why not? I tried one
21:28
Speaker 2: of those cokes. It tastes like an oreo. You know,
21:32
Speaker 2: it tastes like ate a bunch of oreos and then
21:33
Speaker 2: drink some coke. I'm just saying again, all right, let's
21:38
Speaker 2: talk about you know, TikTok videos tell you these are
21:41
Speaker 2: the things that you should buy. Whether it's a new
21:42
Speaker 2: trend apparently where gen zers are showing off what they
21:45
Speaker 2: don't buy. Calling it under consumption core, celebrating having less
21:50
Speaker 2: and being more financially responsible. I'm down with that. It
21:55
Speaker 2: celebrates things like having an older, paid off car, making
21:58
Speaker 2: coffee at home, having fewer clothes and a minimal makeup routine,
22:04
Speaker 2: and enjoying low cost activities like camping and hiking. Some
22:08
Speaker 2: of even posted videos of themselves taking inventory of all
22:11
Speaker 2: of their unnecessary stuff, decluttering donating what they don't need.
22:15
Speaker 2: All right, let's run through this, all right. Just and
22:18
Speaker 2: for those of you who know me, you know I
22:23
Speaker 2: love having older paid off cars. We have three of them, right,
22:28
Speaker 2: three of them in our family. We also like to
22:32
Speaker 2: make coffee at home. Rarely will you see me purchasing
22:36
Speaker 2: a coffee out in public. It happens, it doesn't happen often.
22:40
Speaker 2: If you see me with a Starbucks cup, you can
22:44
Speaker 2: probably assume that it's had got some coffee I made
22:47
Speaker 2: at home poured into it, and I'm just you know,
22:50
Speaker 2: reusing the cup, and that at some point in the
22:53
Speaker 2: past maybe I may have or I've got a cup
22:56
Speaker 2: from somebody else. Having fewer clothes, yep, that's me. Low
23:02
Speaker 2: cost activities like camping and hiking. Yes. And a minimal
23:08
Speaker 2: makeup routine, all right, this is the one where I
23:10
Speaker 2: break the trend. I mean it's minimal in that when
23:14
Speaker 2: I play Mother Ginger, you know, once a year, I
23:17
Speaker 2: wear makeup and I don't any of the rest of
23:20
Speaker 2: the year. Very occasionally for TV appearances or something. You
23:23
Speaker 2: gotta do that especially at my age, you got to
23:26
Speaker 2: throw a little makeup on a little bit for the
23:29
Speaker 2: bags under the eyes. I mean not all the time,
23:31
Speaker 2: but sometimes you gotta do that. So but it's a
23:34
Speaker 2: lot what I do. So it's not minimal, but it's
23:38
Speaker 2: overall it's a low average if you average it out
23:41
Speaker 2: for the whole year. So there you go. All right,
23:46
Speaker 2: let's talk about reality TV. A new survey says fifty
23:49
Speaker 2: seven percent of respondents think that the reality TV has
23:53
Speaker 2: gone too far after a recent controversial episode of The
23:57
Speaker 2: Bachelorette Ooh Do Tell. In the Bachelorette Season twenty one finale,
24:02
Speaker 2: Jen Tran was forced to rewatch her engagement breakup on
24:05
Speaker 2: live TV. The episode caused a lot of backlash with fans,
24:10
Speaker 2: and many questioned the ethics surrounding the decision to air
24:15
Speaker 2: the incident. Fifty six percent of those surveyed believe reality
24:19
Speaker 2: TV producers should be held accountable for the mental health
24:21
Speaker 2: the show's participants. Forty six percent of rethinking their future
24:24
Speaker 2: viewership of the Bachelor or Bachelorette franchise not me. I'm
24:29
Speaker 2: solidly in place for not viewing the Bachelor or Bachelorette franchise.
24:34
Speaker 2: Forty five percent said Jen Tran's incident made them reconsider
24:37
Speaker 2: the reality TV that they consume. So there you go.
24:43
Speaker 2: I kind of think, if you're going to take the
24:44
Speaker 2: fame from it, you gotta take the brunt of the damage.
24:48
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think you should be mean, and
24:49
Speaker 2: this probably was mean, but I'm you know this, would
24:52
Speaker 2: we be talking about Jen Tran at all? I don't
24:54
Speaker 2: know who that is, But would I have ever set
24:57
Speaker 2: her name if not for this incident? And finally, gen
25:01
Speaker 2: Z has created a new travel trend. It's called the
25:05
Speaker 2: airport tray esthetic. The gray bens that you put all
25:09
Speaker 2: your stuff in when you go through security. You know
25:11
Speaker 2: those things, Well, some gen Z travelers arrange their items
25:15
Speaker 2: in esthetically pleasing ways and then snap photos of the
25:18
Speaker 2: artistic arrangement before posting to social media. You know, the sunglasses,
25:23
Speaker 2: the shoes, the watches, snacks, all placed picture perfect in
25:27
Speaker 2: those trays, those gray bins. And you know it sounds
25:34
Speaker 2: like innocent fun, right Not to the people trying to
25:37
Speaker 2: get through security, it's tsa, you're slowing us down. Move,
25:44
Speaker 2: Go get your own gray bin and play with it
25:48
Speaker 2: at home. You know, we don't have time for this.
25:51
Speaker 2: We're trying to get from point A to point B
25:53
Speaker 2: and you're in the way. That'll do it. For this
