Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews.
0:05
Speaker 2: You need to start your day.
0:07
Speaker 1: You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, twenty third day of June. I'm West thanks
0:15
Speaker 2: for joining me. Inching a little closer to us a
0:20
Speaker 2: ID four two fifty. I don't know. It's come up
0:26
Speaker 2: with as many things as we can to just fit
0:29
Speaker 2: into it works right, More sagas and dramas with that pool.
0:35
Speaker 2: I'm wont trying to call it the stupid pool. It's
0:38
Speaker 2: not that the pool stupid. It's not that the reflecting
0:41
Speaker 2: pool itself is stupid. It's just the conversation about it
0:46
Speaker 2: and how much drama has come from it and people
0:49
Speaker 2: just looking for something to talk about. I covered it yesterday.
0:53
Speaker 2: I just pointing out the fact that I guess you know,
0:57
Speaker 2: we've had vandalism. There's been this algae gate. I saw
1:03
Speaker 2: there was a CNN reporter I didn't even talk about
1:06
Speaker 2: this yesterday that went and got a sample of the
1:09
Speaker 2: water to do testing on it. We're and then there's
1:12
Speaker 2: people protesting about them killing the algae because it's a
1:15
Speaker 2: living thing. It is always fascinating to me that some
1:19
Speaker 2: of the same people that will fight for algae to
1:24
Speaker 2: have a right to live, don't mind an unborn child
1:27
Speaker 2: being killed. It's just one of those what are we doing?
1:31
Speaker 2: But you know, you can't even explain a lot of
1:34
Speaker 2: things anymore. You just can't. There's so many things that
1:40
Speaker 2: just have no explanation at all. There's nothing that you
1:44
Speaker 2: can even try to make sense of. So you just
1:47
Speaker 2: move on, keep pushing forward, and that's all we can do.
1:52
Speaker 2: That's really about all we can do. I got I
1:55
Speaker 2: want them to talk about the mayor. A couple of
1:57
Speaker 2: people ask me why to talk about the mayor yesterday?
1:59
Speaker 2: And I'll get you know, sorry, the incoming mayor, And
2:04
Speaker 2: I'll get to that in a little bit. I just
2:07
Speaker 2: before I do that, I just want to be a
2:10
Speaker 2: couple of things when it comes to this. We've just
2:15
Speaker 2: had this holiday last week, the Juneteenth Holiday, the actual
2:20
Speaker 2: holiday itself. You know, it's fine, it seems like a
2:25
Speaker 2: nice thing for people to celebrate. I think there's a
2:28
Speaker 2: lot of political motivations behind the holiday. It's not the
2:32
Speaker 2: first time that we've had a holiday that had political
2:35
Speaker 2: motivations behind it. I just I thoroughly wish that when
2:41
Speaker 2: we have a holiday that is implemented anything a new holiday.
2:47
Speaker 2: Anytime we have a new holiday that's put into place,
2:51
Speaker 2: I think that there should be required actual historical education
3:02
Speaker 2: about the holiday, about what happened on the day, the
3:06
Speaker 2: significance of the day, and what didn't happen on the day.
3:10
Speaker 2: In some cases, and Juneteenth is certainly one of those.
3:16
Speaker 2: There's a lot of things that you could sit back
3:18
Speaker 2: and you could say, well, why why not celebrate, you know,
3:22
Speaker 2: the amendment that ends slavery. Why not celebrate, you know,
3:28
Speaker 2: the actual day that they were freed, instead of the
3:32
Speaker 2: day that the last slaves were And it's not even
3:35
Speaker 2: that the last slaves were freed that day. They were
3:37
Speaker 2: already free. They didn't know it. The ones that were
3:40
Speaker 2: in Galveston, that's a whole another thing. And many of
3:45
Speaker 2: them continued because the slave owners there, Confederate slave owners there,
3:52
Speaker 2: Democrat Confederate slave owners didn't want to release their slaves
3:56
Speaker 2: before the crops, so they kept them on for a
4:00
Speaker 2: bit longer, at least into the fall and the harvest
4:03
Speaker 2: and things, and then they were forced to eventually let
4:05
Speaker 2: them go. But it's not even that, it's just the
4:07
Speaker 2: fact that there were still slaves in the Americas, still
4:10
Speaker 2: slaves in this not in the actual like you got
4:14
Speaker 2: to go to the you know, but we have a
4:16
Speaker 2: Native Americans reservations that still had like ten thousand slaves.
4:21
Speaker 2: So it wasn't even about all of the slaves being freed.
4:25
Speaker 2: This was you know, about a day where ultimately slaves
4:30
Speaker 2: that had been freed because of the Civil War found
4:35
Speaker 2: out that they were freed. But there's a lot of
4:37
Speaker 2: this that we just there's so much about slavery that
4:39
Speaker 2: we don't talk about. We don't talk about the you know,
4:43
Speaker 2: the beginning of the journey for the slaves who made
4:46
Speaker 2: it to America. We don't talk about what happened in Africa.
4:48
Speaker 2: We don't talk about what happened between warring tribes there
4:52
Speaker 2: and you know, the people that were actually selling Africans,
4:56
Speaker 2: you know, other Africans selling Africans, we to the actual
5:01
Speaker 2: slave traders. We just don't talk about that because it's
5:04
Speaker 2: not a political, politically advantageous to talk about it. Were
5:09
Speaker 2: so we're afraid to talk about that aspect of it.
5:15
Speaker 2: And the fact that you know, slavery wasn't invented in America,
5:20
Speaker 2: that slavery has not ended in the world. There's still
5:23
Speaker 2: slavery in America, there's been a lot of sex slave trafficking.
5:28
Speaker 2: When you think about what's gone on with our open
5:31
Speaker 2: border and people that came in the country and you know,
5:35
Speaker 2: people that were brought in and who knows what happened
5:41
Speaker 2: to some of the kids that came in during that period.
5:44
Speaker 2: There's people still trying to track them down. There's a
5:47
Speaker 2: lot of slavery that it's certainly not what it once was,
5:54
Speaker 2: but it's not over in the world, and we really
5:57
Speaker 2: still turn a blind eye to where it's happening. We
5:59
Speaker 2: look away from China, we look away from places where
6:02
Speaker 2: it's it's still happening.
6:03
Speaker 1: So but.
6:07
Speaker 2: You know, if if it takes having an a Juneteenth
6:12
Speaker 2: Emancipation Day to acknowledge that that was a period in
6:17
Speaker 2: our country that we moved on from, but it needs
6:21
Speaker 2: to be something that we acknowledge that we've moved on from,
6:24
Speaker 2: and that's what's important to it. But anyway, I also
6:27
Speaker 2: think it's important too that you know, there's we have
6:30
Speaker 2: to acknowledge that it's not because of stubbornness, it's not
6:35
Speaker 2: because of people. I remember when the Martin Luther King
6:38
Speaker 2: holiday came along and people said, you know, I'm just
6:41
Speaker 2: not gonna celebrate it. I'm just not going to have it.
6:43
Speaker 2: I'm not going to do it, And I mean that
6:44
Speaker 2: was it was what it was that going back to
6:48
Speaker 2: that period of time, early nineties, there was an era
6:52
Speaker 2: where you know, Arizona didn't have it and they weren't
6:54
Speaker 2: going to have the Super Bowl, and that's not what's
6:59
Speaker 2: happening now with Juneteenth. Just a lot of people don't
7:02
Speaker 2: even know that it's a holiday. They don't know. There
7:06
Speaker 2: were people while we were on our trip that we
7:09
Speaker 2: mentioned the holiday week We mentioned the fact that a
7:11
Speaker 2: weekend that was coming up because it was a weekday,
7:15
Speaker 2: but we mentioned the fact that Friday was a holiday.
7:17
Speaker 2: To people like the hotel where we stayed, this is
7:20
Speaker 2: a holiday today. They didn't know. The staff that worked there,
7:24
Speaker 2: didn't know black or white. They didn't know it was
7:27
Speaker 2: a holiday. So we can't sit back and say that
7:30
Speaker 2: this is a you know, people that are being stubborn
7:32
Speaker 2: and folding their arms and saying, I'm just not going
7:34
Speaker 2: to have a holiday. It's just there's a lot of
7:36
Speaker 2: people that don't know that it's a holiday. It's one
7:38
Speaker 2: of the holidays. It's so political that if you don't
7:41
Speaker 2: watch the news, if you're not watching you know, certain
7:46
Speaker 2: times of day and certain news networks, you might not
7:49
Speaker 2: even know that it's a holiday. We receive our news
7:54
Speaker 2: now in such a way that a lot of people
7:57
Speaker 2: just they just don't know. We're not picking up on
8:00
Speaker 2: the fact that that was a holiday that happened on Friday.
8:04
Speaker 2: And then you also have this case where, you know,
8:07
Speaker 2: we had this guilty verdict on this stabbing, and you
8:12
Speaker 2: had people saying, politicians, people on social media saying that
8:18
Speaker 2: if you think that Carmelo Anthony, who you know, was
8:24
Speaker 2: convicted going to jail for stabbing and killing a kid
8:28
Speaker 2: at school track meet, that he deserves to go to jail.
8:33
Speaker 2: You white people shouldn't celebrate Juneteenth. You should go to work. Now,
8:38
Speaker 2: what's the message in that if you go to work
8:40
Speaker 2: like what happens like we Basically it's daring you to
8:44
Speaker 2: relive the MLK holiday thing is what it's doing. It's
8:48
Speaker 2: just throwing it out there and saying, hey, what if
8:50
Speaker 2: you just went to work, give us something to work
8:53
Speaker 2: with here that you just showed up for work. So
8:57
Speaker 2: there's that. I just think there should be some education.
9:00
Speaker 2: I think we have to have education about a lot
9:01
Speaker 2: of things. That we don't educate, we get uncomfortable, We
9:06
Speaker 2: get very uncomfortable with it. I mean, nobody wants to
9:11
Speaker 2: talk about the African origins of the slave trade. Nobody
9:14
Speaker 2: wants to talk about it. Nobody wants to bring it up.
9:18
Speaker 2: I don't think I could have ever brought it up
9:19
Speaker 2: on the radio and make everyone uncomfortable. But nobody wants
9:24
Speaker 2: to talk about it. Two tribes fight, one tribe wins.
9:28
Speaker 2: The other tribe is, you know, we'll keep the women,
9:31
Speaker 2: we'll keep the children. We're going to kill all the
9:34
Speaker 2: men so that they don't rise up and attack us
9:36
Speaker 2: in our sleep. And then at some point it became, well,
9:39
Speaker 2: wait a minute, instead of killing them, we can sell
9:43
Speaker 2: them off. They're going to go to another country. They're
9:45
Speaker 2: going to go to somewhere far, far away. We'll make
9:49
Speaker 2: money off of them, and that'll be the end of it.
9:53
Speaker 2: We don't have to kill them. Nobody wants to talk
9:57
Speaker 2: about it. It happened, certainly, not the case in every
10:01
Speaker 2: instance of slavery, but slavery's been around for thousands of years.
10:04
Speaker 2: This is not a brand new We didn't just invent
10:06
Speaker 2: it in America. It's a horrible time in our country's history,
10:11
Speaker 2: it's what was going on in large parts.
10:13
Speaker 1: Of the world.
10:15
Speaker 2: It but having a holiday to celebrate that it's over
10:21
Speaker 2: and it's done and we move on, that's great. But
10:23
Speaker 2: we have to acknowledge that it's over and we move on,
10:28
Speaker 2: and we need to know the history behind it, and
10:30
Speaker 2: we need to know who the slave owners were, and
10:33
Speaker 2: we need to know who was fighting in the South
10:36
Speaker 2: to keep slavery, and we need to know all those things.
10:38
Speaker 2: But we just kind of brush it over, accept kind
10:42
Speaker 2: of a revisionist history on it, and we move on.
10:45
Speaker 2: And it's really unfortunate, all right, I said, I talk
10:48
Speaker 2: about the mayor's race. While I was gone on my trip,
10:52
Speaker 2: we had an election, the runoff elections here in Columbus,
10:58
Speaker 2: my hometown, our former city manager, Isaiah Hugley won. Congratulations
11:05
Speaker 2: to him, the first elected black mayor of Columbus. A
11:09
Speaker 2: lot of news outlets flubbed that one first black mayor
11:13
Speaker 2: of Columbus. Nope, had one of those already, just wasn't elected.
11:18
Speaker 2: But congratulations to him. I've made it no secret that
11:23
Speaker 2: I did not want him to win. I don't get
11:26
Speaker 2: to decide by myself. But apparently it only takes like
11:30
Speaker 2: sixteen thousand people to decide it in a runoff. Now
11:35
Speaker 2: you understand one of those runoffs become important because you know,
11:39
Speaker 2: if only thirty one or whatever thousand people are going
11:42
Speaker 2: to show up to vote, that's pathetic for a town
11:46
Speaker 2: the size, it's pathetic. Just you ought to be ashamed
11:50
Speaker 2: of yourself. That's a good way to say it. It's pathetic.
11:54
Speaker 2: It's a city to size. So whatever comes from this,
12:00
Speaker 2: you know, this tenure is mayor. If it's bad, we
12:04
Speaker 2: deserve it. If it's good, we can all be pleasantly
12:07
Speaker 2: surprised and say, well it worked out okay in spite
12:10
Speaker 2: of the fact that you know, we just didn't turn
12:13
Speaker 2: out and vote. And I'm not it doesn't matter who
12:15
Speaker 2: you voted for. It's the fact that you know, thirty one,
12:18
Speaker 2: thirty two thousand people whatever it was, showed up to vote,
12:21
Speaker 2: and it's it's just sad. It's really sad. And it
12:24
Speaker 2: was very close. And I think people should acknowledge the
12:27
Speaker 2: fact that it was close. But I didn't see that.
12:31
Speaker 2: I read a few news stories it said like part
12:34
Speaker 2: of the victory speech from the incoming mayor was you know,
12:39
Speaker 2: calling out some of the city councilors that had him fired.
12:43
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's still upset about that. It was enough
12:46
Speaker 2: for him to you know, follow a lawsuit and all
12:49
Speaker 2: those things, you know, for for wrongful termination or whatever.
12:54
Speaker 2: But you know, we have to we have to move forward.
12:57
Speaker 2: That's what's going to happen. I don't have high hopes.
13:01
Speaker 2: I think we've we've we've gradually spiraled downhill quite a
13:06
Speaker 2: bit as a city in a lot of ways. We've
13:08
Speaker 2: lost a lot of our kind of core cornerstone industry
13:14
Speaker 2: here as far as some of our businesses lost them
13:17
Speaker 2: or in the process of losing them, and all of
13:21
Speaker 2: that kind of happened under his watch city manager. So
13:24
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know that we're going to get
13:25
Speaker 2: but but I'll be hopeful he'll be my mayor, just
13:30
Speaker 2: like he'll be your mayor. And you know, congratulations to
13:34
Speaker 2: the you know, sixty seventy year old sorority and fraternity
13:38
Speaker 2: members that got that that you know, supported him, made
13:41
Speaker 2: it happen. The ones that you know, park wherever they
13:47
Speaker 2: want to park, put the signs all over their cars,
13:50
Speaker 2: and you know, good for them. That's what they wanted,
13:53
Speaker 2: that's what they got. And then you know, had their
13:56
Speaker 2: little parties to celebrate it, and that's great. Good for them.
14:00
Speaker 2: You know, I just think that if we're not going
14:04
Speaker 2: to get more than thirty two thousand people to turn
14:06
Speaker 2: out for an election, it's bad. It's really bad. It
14:13
Speaker 2: was close, you know, when you have less than a
14:16
Speaker 2: thousand votes celebrating, separating the winner and the runner up.
14:22
Speaker 2: It was very close. And you know, there was a
14:24
Speaker 2: lot of criticism of Joe Anne Kogel for not conceding immediately.
14:31
Speaker 2: It's interesting to me that, you know, when the left
14:34
Speaker 2: doesn't concede, it's considered noble when the right doesn't concede.
14:38
Speaker 2: Not that she's on the right. I don't know that
14:41
Speaker 2: she's on the right. She kind of got pigeonholed into that.
14:43
Speaker 2: But you know, when somebody that is perceived at least
14:47
Speaker 2: to be more representative of the right, if they don't concede,
14:51
Speaker 2: then you know their election deniers. We've gone through multiple
14:57
Speaker 2: election denying situations here with our present ssidential elections. In
15:01
Speaker 2: the past. It's actually goes back to you know, George W.
15:04
Speaker 2: Bush in two thousand. A lot of election denying since then,
15:08
Speaker 2: and by both sides. It was interesting to me to
15:11
Speaker 2: hear people say that, you know, it wasn't voting for
15:14
Speaker 2: Hugly wasn't about race, But they're glad that a black
15:18
Speaker 2: man is going to be the mayor. Then it's about race.
15:21
Speaker 2: I mean, you could say it's not, but you're glad
15:23
Speaker 2: that there's just going to be that in there. If
15:26
Speaker 2: that's what you're saying, and you know, that's the way
15:30
Speaker 2: things seem to happen, that's the way things seem to
15:33
Speaker 2: work out. And as long as we continue to do
15:37
Speaker 2: that as a country, were the wounds are never going
15:40
Speaker 2: to heal. Juneteenth will never mean anything until we move
15:43
Speaker 2: on from things and we just we just don't let
15:48
Speaker 2: ourselves heal. We don't let ourselves move forward. We just
15:52
Speaker 2: spend a lot of our time, you know, pulling at
15:56
Speaker 2: the scabs so that the wounds don't heal. And it's
16:02
Speaker 2: just what we do. Unfortunately. But I have enjoyed seeing
16:07
Speaker 2: since the World Club Soccer is going on, the people
16:09
Speaker 2: that have come over and they've seen America for what
16:11
Speaker 2: it is and they've enjoyed it and appreciated it and thought, wow,
16:15
Speaker 2: this isn't what we're being told it is back wherever
16:19
Speaker 2: we're from, and we're enjoying the fact that it's what
16:22
Speaker 2: we used to think it was, and that's great. I'm
16:24
Speaker 2: gonna talk more about that later in the week because
16:26
Speaker 2: I don't have enough time to really get into that.
16:27
Speaker 2: But that's a big thing. That's a huge thing that's
16:31
Speaker 2: going on right now, and I just think it's great
16:34
Speaker 2: that we have people coming in and going. They're lying
16:37
Speaker 2: to us on the news. Yeah, they are, just like
16:40
Speaker 2: our news is lying to us a lot of times
16:42
Speaker 2: here as well. Today's show brought to you by Coalmas

Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
19:07
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
19:09
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
19:12
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
19:16
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
19:19
Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or
19:22
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
19:26
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
19:28
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
19:32
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
19:34
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know,
19:38
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
19:40
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid. You'd
19:43
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
19:44
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in They can do that
19:47
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
19:50
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
19:53
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
19:56
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
19:59
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven sixty five eight forty five hundred

20:06
Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after
20:10
Speaker 2: the break. There's been kind of a weird shift that's
20:21
Speaker 2: been happening concerning jobs and careers. I guess as gen
20:28
Speaker 2: Z starting to see traditionally boring jobs in quotes government jobs,
20:35
Speaker 2: library jobs, municipal departments, public administration things as being a
20:39
Speaker 2: bit more appealing, not because they've lowered their ambitions, but
20:43
Speaker 2: because they're rethinking what success looks like. Jobs that have
20:47
Speaker 2: steady hours, clear boundaries, real benefits suddenly feel like a relief.
20:53
Speaker 2: So it's more about stability, predictability, and not having to
20:56
Speaker 2: constantly market yourself. Basically, gen z Z realizing that having
21:01
Speaker 2: a job that lets you log off and actually live
21:04
Speaker 2: your life might be the real dream. There was a
21:08
Speaker 2: time that those quote unquote boring jobs were where it's
21:13
Speaker 2: at because of that stability, because of that possibility of
21:17
Speaker 2: being able to ultimately, you know, retire one day, not
21:22
Speaker 2: having to hop from job to job to job, and
21:24
Speaker 2: just being able to settle in somewhere, get familiar with it,
21:28
Speaker 2: build little equity in the job. We'll see if those
21:31
Speaker 2: jobs continue to exist and thrive as we move further
21:36
Speaker 2: and further into the AI world. I guess goble into
21:42
Speaker 2: goble intimacy. It's a mouthful, it's it's tricky with those
21:46
Speaker 2: middle letters there, so it's gobl Intimacy is a new
21:50
Speaker 2: dating trend, and it basically flips how things, uh you
21:55
Speaker 2: impress people the things that you do to impress them.
21:58
Speaker 2: So instead of showing up as you're most polished, put
22:01
Speaker 2: together self, you show up as your real, imperfect self
22:05
Speaker 2: right away, your flaws, your quirks, your baggage, everything, all
22:11
Speaker 2: that stuff. And the idea is that by revealing your
22:14
Speaker 2: inner goblin and being brutally honest from the start, you'll
22:17
Speaker 2: quickly weed out people who aren't a good match for
22:20
Speaker 2: you anyway. And since everyone's messy side eventually shows itself,
22:24
Speaker 2: why not just be upfront about it from the start.
22:28
Speaker 2: And sounds good, and experts say that it can be
22:30
Speaker 2: a bit of a double edged sword because authenticity is great,
22:34
Speaker 2: but over sharing too fast or dropping all your baggage
22:38
Speaker 2: immediately can also backfire. Yeah, that was the thing that
22:41
Speaker 2: kind of stood out to me. Those people that are
22:45
Speaker 2: just way too honest, way too fast, everything just kind
22:49
Speaker 2: of falls out of their mouths quickly. If you've watched
22:54
Speaker 2: the show Love on the Spectrum, that happens on those
22:56
Speaker 2: dates sometimes something about having an ASD where you just
23:00
Speaker 2: say a little bit too much too soon, and it
23:04
Speaker 2: can cause the other person to run away. On that show,
23:06
Speaker 2: though sometimes the other person comes back with the brutal
23:09
Speaker 2: honesty and it's fun to watch. Maybe there's a little
23:12
Speaker 2: inspiration to that for this trend of gobl intimacy. I
23:19
Speaker 2: got it write that time. Younger workers are getting attention
23:23
Speaker 2: and praise for something surprisingly simple, taking a full, uninterrupted
23:27
Speaker 2: lunch break, and it's making them better at their jobs.
23:31
Speaker 2: Instead of eating at their desks or skipping meals to
23:34
Speaker 2: power through, many are stepping away for an hour, completely
23:37
Speaker 2: disconnecting for work. For a lot of them, it means
23:40
Speaker 2: leaving their workspace, sitting down, having an actual meal, and
23:44
Speaker 2: then spending that time with coworkers in some cases, and
23:48
Speaker 2: it's not just about food, it's about a mental reset.
23:51
Speaker 2: It lets you create a clear break in the middle
23:54
Speaker 2: of your day and then you can come back more focus, refreshed,
23:57
Speaker 2: and able to work more effectively. It also helps build
24:00
Speaker 2: relationships at work instead of awkward after hours bonding. That way,
24:06
Speaker 2: lunch becomes a low pressure way to connect, collaborate, and
24:09
Speaker 2: get to know colleagues. It also takes away in that
24:12
Speaker 2: same vein some of this sort of times forced after
24:17
Speaker 2: hours socializing, and it kind of ties in a little
24:21
Speaker 2: bit to that nine to five job thing where you
24:23
Speaker 2: can just kind of go you know, I'm gonna go home.
24:25
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go home and see my family. I'm gonna
24:27
Speaker 2: go home and do nothing. I'm gonna go home and
24:30
Speaker 2: do whatever I want to do instead of being forced
24:33
Speaker 2: to be around coworkers. So yeah, you can take advantage
24:35
Speaker 2: of that hour and do that. We talk about this,
24:39
Speaker 2: I think around this time every year, the fast food
24:43
Speaker 2: restaurants that have the best tasting burgers. It's not the
24:48
Speaker 2: best value, it's not it's just about taste. We'll just
24:53
Speaker 2: keep it simple with this. You gov pulled more than
24:56
Speaker 2: forty four thousand people with the question who has the
24:59
Speaker 2: best taste burgers? And the chain that came out on top,
25:04
Speaker 2: and for the price, you would hope they would come
25:07
Speaker 2: out on top, because they're not cheap burgers at all.
25:10
Speaker 2: But that's five Guys tasting the best not far behind,
25:15
Speaker 2: and I think when you consider the fact that they're
25:19
Speaker 2: this close, the difference in price point between the two,
25:24
Speaker 2: you're probably better off going with option to if you
25:26
Speaker 2: really are someone who believes that the second best tasting
25:29
Speaker 2: burger is Burger King. Five Guys was at the top
25:34
Speaker 2: of the list, close behind, like a half a point
25:36
Speaker 2: behind was Burger King, then drop down a bit to
25:39
Speaker 2: in and Out, which, of course we don't have here
25:43
Speaker 2: but not where I live. If you're listening on the
25:46
Speaker 2: West coast or in one of the cities, it has
25:48
Speaker 2: in and Out. Good for you. They are quite tasty.
25:53
Speaker 2: I've only had them in LA, That's all I've had.
25:57
Speaker 2: Wendy's was third on the list, and then mc donald's
26:00
Speaker 2: in fifth place in their top five. So I mean,
26:04
Speaker 2: I'm still saying, if you're going five Guys is one,
26:08
Speaker 2: Burger King is a close to. For the price point,
26:12
Speaker 2: you go Burger King. Don't you. That'll do it for
26:15
Speaker 2: this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors
26:17
