Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews you need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day. This is the West Carol Morning Show.
0:12
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, July tenth. I'm Wes. Thanks for joining me,
0:18
Speaker 2: coming to you from one of my favorite places, Magnetic
0:23
Speaker 2: Island off the coast of northern Queensland, and continuing on
0:29
Speaker 2: with our shows from Australia. We have a little bit
0:32
Speaker 2: longer we've got heading back from the island here soon
0:36
Speaker 2: and then we'll get back to Townsville over on the mainland,
0:41
Speaker 2: and then we've got some Sydney time coming up before
0:44
Speaker 2: we eventually head home. But I want to talk to
0:48
Speaker 2: you about a couple of things this morning. As in
0:52
Speaker 2: this location today again not outdoors. I'm not surrounded by
0:58
Speaker 2: all the animals and birds and things. It's not quite
1:00
Speaker 2: as it doesn't quite have the atmosphere of doing the
1:05
Speaker 2: show from outside, but still getting the shows to you.
1:09
Speaker 2: Maybe a little bit less distractions, no kids walking up,
1:12
Speaker 2: no bike's coming up, all that stuff, all right, So
1:15
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you this morning about the
1:21
Speaker 2: New York Mayor's race. This candidate from New York who
1:27
Speaker 2: has won the primary and will be the Democrat candidate
1:32
Speaker 2: for mayor. I know There's been a lot of talk
1:34
Speaker 2: about this guy. He just kind of came really a
1:38
Speaker 2: bit out of nowhere when it comes to the political landscape,
1:43
Speaker 2: and I think it's worth talking a little bit about
1:46
Speaker 2: this kind of rise from nowhere. He's not, by most accounts,
1:52
Speaker 2: someone who is considered overly charismatic. He's not someone who
1:58
Speaker 2: is He doesn't have the Barack Obama quality as a speaker,
2:02
Speaker 2: he doesn't have the Donald Trump quality as a presence.
2:08
Speaker 2: I guess perhaps he'll learn these things. I don't know.
2:12
Speaker 2: There's been some talk about sort of how this could
2:16
Speaker 2: have happened, How does this happen in New York City. Well,
2:20
Speaker 2: if it's going to happen somewhere, it's going to happen
2:22
Speaker 2: in a city like New York. I don't think that's
2:25
Speaker 2: the major shock. But when you have a candidate who
2:28
Speaker 2: is very much I guess bills himself as a socialist,
2:32
Speaker 2: a lot of what he's talking about, a lot of
2:34
Speaker 2: what he discusses certainly sounds much more Marxist than that.
2:39
Speaker 2: I know that socialists hate when you compare anything that
2:44
Speaker 2: they do to Marxism. This is someone who seems to
2:48
Speaker 2: be certainly I mean, even if you're being generous. He's
2:52
Speaker 2: towing the line with some of the things that he
2:55
Speaker 2: wants to do, some of his big plans that he
2:58
Speaker 2: has for New York City. I think, if you live
3:01
Speaker 2: in New York City and you were not a Marxist,
3:05
Speaker 2: and you were not a very staunch socialist, okay, if
3:11
Speaker 2: you think some of the socialist things sound kind of okay,
3:16
Speaker 2: And let's be honest for a minute here, when we
3:19
Speaker 2: talk about the US, we were not founded to be
3:23
Speaker 2: anything close to what we are as a country. We
3:25
Speaker 2: weren't founded to be a socialist country. We weren't founded
3:28
Speaker 2: to be labeled a capitalist country. And I also like
3:34
Speaker 2: to point out every now and then that when someone
3:36
Speaker 2: talks about capitalism and they spit and they say, oh,
3:39
Speaker 2: capitalism bad, that term itself is a Marxist term for
3:47
Speaker 2: free markets, for the opportunity to succeed, for the opportunity
3:52
Speaker 2: to thrive, for the opportunity to work hard and actually
3:57
Speaker 2: see the rewards of your hard word. Okay, that's what
4:03
Speaker 2: quote unquote capitalism is. I don't like the word. I
4:05
Speaker 2: don't like the term. I don't like using the words
4:09
Speaker 2: of Karl Marx. I much prefer thinking in terms of freedom,
4:16
Speaker 2: free markets, free trade. I understand there are some restrictions
4:21
Speaker 2: on some of those things that we have functioning in
4:25
Speaker 2: a world. Almost like when you start talking about things
4:29
Speaker 2: being on a sliding scale or on a spectrum, and
4:34
Speaker 2: there's various levels of communism, socialism, and free markets out there.
4:40
Speaker 2: I realize it's not exclusive to that, but that's sort
4:42
Speaker 2: of the way the sliding scale seems to work. Are
4:46
Speaker 2: you pro freedom or you pro big government? Are you
4:49
Speaker 2: pro government controlling things? Are you pro the opportunity to
4:55
Speaker 2: work hard as an individual? And maybe you have an idea.
5:01
Speaker 2: Maybe you're just very good with money. Maybe you live
5:06
Speaker 2: your life in a way that you think I'm able
5:08
Speaker 2: to self discipline and I'm able to save money, and
5:15
Speaker 2: I'd like one day to have something for retirement, or
5:18
Speaker 2: I'd like to have something to be able to pass
5:20
Speaker 2: on to my kids and grandkids. And that's what your
5:23
Speaker 2: vision is for living in a free society. Or you
5:27
Speaker 2: the kind of person who says, look, I think everybody
5:30
Speaker 2: should have exactly the same outcome, except for a very
5:37
Speaker 2: small few who are probably in some sort of political power,
5:41
Speaker 2: probably for an indefinite amount of time, and in a
5:44
Speaker 2: controlling capacity, and can ultimately end up being someone who says,
5:49
Speaker 2: if you don't do things our way, there could be
5:53
Speaker 2: some sort of mass culling of people who disagree. I mean,
5:59
Speaker 2: I'm just looking at the history of communism. I'm just
6:01
Speaker 2: looking at the history that we have. I'm not talking
6:05
Speaker 2: about on a small scale. I'm not talking about do
6:07
Speaker 2: you live in a community that works in a commune system. Sure,
6:13
Speaker 2: that's absolutely something that could be managed by a group
6:17
Speaker 2: of individuals who say we're going to live here together.
6:22
Speaker 2: We're going to we're gonna grow crops, we're gonna have chickens,
6:26
Speaker 2: we're gonna have cattle, we're gonna do all these things
6:28
Speaker 2: in our little community. And this is what we're gonna do,
6:31
Speaker 2: and we're going to take care of each other, and
6:32
Speaker 2: we have a doctor who lives here. All those things
6:35
Speaker 2: can work. You want to function like it's little house
6:38
Speaker 2: on the prairie, you're more than capable of doing that.
6:41
Speaker 2: Even that though they sold things, they had a store,
6:46
Speaker 2: they had the ability to buy and sell things. And
6:50
Speaker 2: there were some has and some have nots okay for
6:54
Speaker 2: whatever reason. But if you want to tell me that
6:57
Speaker 2: you can work in a commune and you can trade
6:59
Speaker 2: fruits and vegetables with one another. Look, that's functional at
7:03
Speaker 2: a small level. But just looking at history, when it
7:06
Speaker 2: comes to a country in a large mass of population,
7:09
Speaker 2: there's ultimately going to be someone who's going to rise
7:13
Speaker 2: who's not going to particularly like the fact that there
7:16
Speaker 2: are people who disagree with their thoughts and opinions in
7:19
Speaker 2: the way that they want to run things. Just history,
7:23
Speaker 2: you can look it up. It's history. It's in the
7:25
Speaker 2: history books. Maybe it's not really in all the history
7:29
Speaker 2: books now. I don't know. I don't know that kids
7:30
Speaker 2: are being taught that. I think some of these things
7:33
Speaker 2: are these crazy concepts and ideas, like the idea of
7:38
Speaker 2: small government and freedom that we don't seem to be
7:41
Speaker 2: pushing anymore anyway, or you know, basic biology an anatomy,
7:46
Speaker 2: although maybe we're making a comeback with that, I don't know.
7:49
Speaker 2: So let's talk about someone who says, hey, I want
7:52
Speaker 2: to come into a city and I want to have
7:56
Speaker 2: these community grocery stores that people will be able to
8:01
Speaker 2: come in and get whatever food that they need. And
8:04
Speaker 2: when people say, well, how are you going to pay
8:05
Speaker 2: for it, he says, I'm going to have rich people
8:08
Speaker 2: pay for it. That's what we're going to do. We're
8:09
Speaker 2: gonna get the rich people of New York to pay
8:12
Speaker 2: their fair share of taxes, this fair share thing that
8:16
Speaker 2: we hear a lot of, and they're going to pay
8:18
Speaker 2: their fair share, and they're going to help fund these
8:21
Speaker 2: grocery stores that I want to implement. Now, he's not
8:23
Speaker 2: the mayor yet. Most of the time, though, when you
8:26
Speaker 2: win the Democrat primary, you end up being the mayor
8:29
Speaker 2: of New York. That's just the way things normally work. Now,
8:32
Speaker 2: will someone end up rising to actually compete against him
8:37
Speaker 2: and maybe take him down. It's a possibility. It could happen.
8:41
Speaker 2: It's not unreasonable to think that someone could do that.
8:45
Speaker 2: But we're going to have to wait and see as
8:47
Speaker 2: we get closer to the possibility of having Zoron Mabdani
8:53
Speaker 2: as the mayor of New York City. So what could
8:55
Speaker 2: that mean for New York Well, it could mean a
8:59
Speaker 2: lot of wealthier people moving out. It could mean a
9:04
Speaker 2: significant change, a shift in population from New York State,
9:10
Speaker 2: but specifically from New York City. And I would think
9:12
Speaker 2: at the very least, maybe they'll get out of New
9:15
Speaker 2: York City. But if they're businesses need to work and
9:20
Speaker 2: thrive in a place like New York. They're going to
9:23
Speaker 2: start looking at other options. They're going to look at
9:26
Speaker 2: other cities that can do business. They're going to look
9:29
Speaker 2: at places like Atlanta. They're going to look at states
9:32
Speaker 2: like Florida. They're going to look at states like Texas
9:37
Speaker 2: and finding ways that they can save on the taxes
9:42
Speaker 2: that would be needed to run some of the social
9:44
Speaker 2: programs that would have to be pushed forward by this
9:52
Speaker 2: potential mayor of New York who says, yeah, the rich
9:55
Speaker 2: people are going to fund it. And what I was
9:57
Speaker 2: starting to say before is we kid ourselves when we
9:59
Speaker 2: pret that we don't have elements of socialism in our country.
10:03
Speaker 2: We do. There are levels of it. We're at a
10:06
Speaker 2: certain place on the spectrum. We a completely free market country. No,
10:12
Speaker 2: does everyone provide their own means of support? No, they don't.
10:18
Speaker 2: And the numbers have increased of people that aren't doing that.
10:24
Speaker 2: So we can't kid ourselves and pretend that there's not
10:26
Speaker 2: elements of it. But when we start talking about this
10:29
Speaker 2: drastic shift, this drastic leap closer to a I don't know,
10:35
Speaker 2: a communist New York City, we got to ask ourselves
10:38
Speaker 2: a question, how is it possible. How does this happen
10:41
Speaker 2: in our largest city? And the answer seems to be
10:45
Speaker 2: right in front of us, And it starts with the
10:47
Speaker 2: fact that there are already people who've moved away. There's
10:50
Speaker 2: already people who've been tired of paying for people in
10:53
Speaker 2: New York that you know, they want to provide social
10:57
Speaker 2: programs for all sorts of people. That the people say,
11:00
Speaker 2: we don't necessarily want these things or we don't want
11:03
Speaker 2: to have to pay for them, so they've moved. They
11:07
Speaker 2: don't like the taxes. You have a lot of businesses
11:10
Speaker 2: that moved out of New York and moved to Texas,
11:12
Speaker 2: moved to Florida. Florida looks pretty good right now to
11:17
Speaker 2: anybody looking at the possibility if you are a large
11:21
Speaker 2: business owner in New York City, a mega corporation owner
11:26
Speaker 2: in New York City, and this primary doesn't have you
11:30
Speaker 2: already at least considering what your options may be in
11:35
Speaker 2: Florida or Texas or Georgia. I mean, we're not I
11:40
Speaker 2: don't want to discount Georgia. But when you start looking
11:44
Speaker 2: also at you start looking at some of the taxes
11:47
Speaker 2: when it comes to income tax and things in states
11:50
Speaker 2: like Florida, if you're not already looking and you own
11:54
Speaker 2: a major company in New York and you're not already
11:58
Speaker 2: starting to make consideration, maybe you start having discussions with
12:02
Speaker 2: some of your employees about the fact that, look, we
12:05
Speaker 2: may not be here if this guy wins. I mean,
12:09
Speaker 2: that's a valid conversation to have. You don't want to
12:12
Speaker 2: put it in a position where you're telling your employees, hey,
12:15
Speaker 2: you better vote against this guy or else. But for
12:19
Speaker 2: a lot of people in New York, you might want
12:21
Speaker 2: to consider voting against this guy. Now, are you going
12:23
Speaker 2: to have people in New York that are going to
12:25
Speaker 2: vote because this just sounds good? Yes, you are. That's
12:30
Speaker 2: how this guy becomes the Democrat candidate. So I guess,
12:34
Speaker 2: and I don't know. Did we have a number of
12:36
Speaker 2: people that in New York that made that slide and say, no,
12:40
Speaker 2: I'm voting on a Republican ticket. I don't know. We
12:44
Speaker 2: saw a lot of things change in the country when
12:48
Speaker 2: it came to the Trump and ultimately Harris. It was
12:51
Speaker 2: the Biden ticket, but it was the Biden and then
12:54
Speaker 2: Harris ticket, and a lot of Americans said, we're done
12:57
Speaker 2: with that. We don't like the vision Democrats have. So
13:01
Speaker 2: you would have thought Democrats might have pushed a candidate
13:05
Speaker 2: that was a little bit more middle of the road,
13:07
Speaker 2: someone more moderate, But that's not what they did. They
13:09
Speaker 2: went even further to the left, as far to the
13:12
Speaker 2: left as I could even imagine that they would consider.
13:18
Speaker 2: So the question is, how does mob Nanni happen? How
13:21
Speaker 2: does this candidate emerge this way? Well, yes, people have
13:25
Speaker 2: already moved out of New York, some of the more conservative,
13:28
Speaker 2: I think some of the moderate maybe right of center
13:31
Speaker 2: people have already gotten out because they didn't feel comfortable
13:36
Speaker 2: they're in New York and they felt like that this
13:40
Speaker 2: is coming. This is something that needs to happen, a
13:42
Speaker 2: move needs to take place. And then we look at
13:46
Speaker 2: stories of our universities, We look at schools, We look
13:51
Speaker 2: at schools in New York, Columbia, we look at schools
13:53
Speaker 2: and we say, this is what they've been working on
13:57
Speaker 2: for a long time. This is the long game. There's
14:01
Speaker 2: a few long games that the left has been able
14:03
Speaker 2: to successfully play. And one of the long games is
14:07
Speaker 2: this indoctrination of these ideas. And if you are taking
14:12
Speaker 2: a kids showing up at a university and they're happy
14:16
Speaker 2: to be at a prestigious school. They're happy to be
14:20
Speaker 2: there and they walk in the door, and maybe the
14:24
Speaker 2: kids in your life that you're sending to these schools,
14:26
Speaker 2: you haven't prepped them. You haven't given them this ability
14:31
Speaker 2: to understand. Maybe they know you're a conservative, but they
14:35
Speaker 2: don't understand why you're conservative. They don't understand these ideas
14:38
Speaker 2: about free markets and what our founders wanted, what people
14:43
Speaker 2: died for in the founding of this country. They don't understand.
14:48
Speaker 2: So they just go and they get to school, and
14:50
Speaker 2: suddenly they're having all of this socialism, good capitalism, bad
14:58
Speaker 2: mentality that is for upon them. And then that's what happens.
15:03
Speaker 2: They start to buy into this, and they start to
15:04
Speaker 2: buy into these ideas, and they start to say, yeah,
15:06
Speaker 2: why don't we have free grocery stores all around our
15:09
Speaker 2: city paid for by the rich? The rich don't pay
15:12
Speaker 2: any taxes, and they don't understand how much taxes rich
15:17
Speaker 2: people already pay. They start getting caught up in this
15:20
Speaker 2: squabble about, well, the average person pays seventeen percent, but
15:25
Speaker 2: rich people only pay fifteen percent or I think it's
15:29
Speaker 2: twenty three and twenty five in some places. And they say, well,
15:32
Speaker 2: why are they paying twenty three Well, twenty three percent
15:34
Speaker 2: of billions is way more than twenty five percent of
15:39
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand. I mean, you don't have to be
15:44
Speaker 2: a mathologist to figure this out. So they start to
15:47
Speaker 2: buy into it, and they start to believe it, and
15:50
Speaker 2: they're they're gradually being schooled into it. The other thing,
15:53
Speaker 2: of course, that they do really well on the left
15:56
Speaker 2: for the long game is let illegals and the country
16:00
Speaker 2: that eventually eighty percent of the time become Democrat voters.
16:04
Speaker 2: That's another long game thing. And it used to be oh,
16:06
Speaker 2: that's a conspiracy theory. That's not something that they do.
16:09
Speaker 2: It's the only explanation for why you would have open
16:13
Speaker 2: borders when Democrats are presidents. Now, sometimes more people get
16:17
Speaker 2: deported under Democrat presidents like Obama, and nobody wants to
16:20
Speaker 2: talk about that. Nobody wants to have that discussion. But ultimately,
16:24
Speaker 2: there is a long game element to it, and they're
16:26
Speaker 2: playing it now because they know there's a possibility that
16:31
Speaker 2: the next president might not be a Republican, or at
16:34
Speaker 2: least in another term of a Republican president, or possibly
16:39
Speaker 2: two terms eventually, if they can stall long enough. Some
16:43
Speaker 2: of the people who've come into the country, will get
16:45
Speaker 2: an opportunity, possibly to get some sort of amnesty, or
16:48
Speaker 2: have gotten married, or have had children, the anchor baby
16:52
Speaker 2: that you're not supposed to say anymore. So that's a
16:56
Speaker 2: big part of how something like this happens. All those
17:00
Speaker 2: things taking place in a city that seems to be
17:03
Speaker 2: lawless to begin with. And again we're starting to have
17:07
Speaker 2: conversations from Mamdani about getting rid of the police. Oh,
17:12
Speaker 2: we have to defund the police. You think New York
17:15
Speaker 2: is going to be a safe place to live, You
17:17
Speaker 2: think the lawlessness that's already there isn't going to get
17:20
Speaker 2: significantly worse. They want to get ice out of New
17:23
Speaker 2: York City. They want to have communist grocery stores, they
17:28
Speaker 2: want to have basically just the complete anarchy on the streets. Ultimately,
17:37
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not a big leap, But when the
17:41
Speaker 2: businesses start to pull out and the people start to
17:43
Speaker 2: move away from fear, that's when you're going to completely
17:47
Speaker 2: lose New York City, possibly for good. Now is the
17:51
Speaker 2: time for the people there the fight. This is their
17:55
Speaker 2: chance to save that city, and a lot of people
17:58
Speaker 2: think it's already beyond saving. But this is sort of
18:01
Speaker 2: the last stand. This is it. This is the last
18:05
Speaker 2: chance for a true revolution in the other direction. Today's
18:08
Speaker 2: show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola
18:11
Speaker 2: Space Science Center.
18:13
Speaker 3: Hey everyone, this is doctor Sean Crusin. I'm the executive
18:16
Speaker 3: director of Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
18:20
Speaker 3: I want to tell you about a very special exhibit
18:23
Speaker 3: that we have on display the summer. It's so big
18:26
Speaker 3: that it can't even fit in our own exhibit gallery.
18:29
Speaker 3: It's just too many pieces. This is a collection of
18:33
Speaker 3: items from the personal collection of astronaut David R. Scott.
18:39
Speaker 3: Dave Scott flew on Gemini eight with Neil Armstrong. He
18:42
Speaker 3: flew on Apollo nine, a dress rehearsal for the moon landing,
18:46
Speaker 3: and then, most importantly perhaps he commanded Apollo fifteen, where
18:50
Speaker 3: he became the first person to ever drive a car
18:52
Speaker 3: on the service of the Moon. Because Dave's brother, Tom
18:56
Speaker 3: lived and worked here in Columbus, Georgia with our Columbus
18:59
Speaker 3: Chamber of cos we got to be good friends with Tom.
19:02
Speaker 3: Tom has coordinated a very generous donation of artifacts and
19:06
Speaker 3: memorabilia from the Scott brothers collection to us here at
19:10
Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center. And again that collection got
19:14
Speaker 3: so overwhelmingly large we couldn't put it on display here.
19:17
Speaker 3: That's why we're doing the exhibit at the Bow Bartlet Center.
19:20
Speaker 3: They are open from eleven am to four pm Tuesday
19:23
Speaker 3: through Saturday. Go down and check out this great exhibit
19:27
Speaker 3: on display at the Bow Bartlet Center. Check out all
19:29

19:37
Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of
19:39
Speaker 2: Columbus for all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
19:44
Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
19:49
Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
19:52
Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
19:56
Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of square in that
19:58
Speaker 2: away for you, and while they there, you can always
20:01
Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
20:04
Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
20:07
Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
20:10
Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
20:13
Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
20:16
Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
20:20
Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insallation issue that you've got.
20:23
Speaker 2: With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in
20:26
Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
20:29
Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
20:32
Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
20:35
Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
20:39
Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
20:41
Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
20:44
Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
20:45
Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
20:48
Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
20:51
Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
20:54
Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
20:57
Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
21:00
Speaker 2: and they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five
21:03
Speaker 2: eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five eight
21:06
Speaker 2: forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol
21:11
Speaker 2: Morning Show right after the break. Well streaming now represents
21:24
Speaker 2: more TV viewing than broadcast and cable combined Yes you
21:32
Speaker 2: heard me, Forty four point eight percent of viewing during
21:35
Speaker 2: May happened on streaming services as opposed to broadcasting cable,
21:39
Speaker 2: which only accounted for forty four point two percent, and
21:43
Speaker 2: streaming has grown seventy one percent since May of twenty
21:47
Speaker 2: twenty one. Netflix is still the eight hundred pound gorilla
21:50
Speaker 2: in the room, but YouTube accounted for twelve point five
21:53
Speaker 2: percent of all television viewing in May, and the free
21:58
Speaker 2: services Pluto, TV, Rokouch and to Be combined for five
22:03
Speaker 2: point seven percent of all viewing. And it does make
22:07
Speaker 2: sense with streaming you can watch things at you're convenience,
22:10
Speaker 2: You can rewatch reruns of old shows, and even with
22:14
Speaker 2: a lot of new releases, you can binge a whole
22:16
Speaker 2: season in just a few nights. Not to mention the
22:20
Speaker 2: fact that I think people have felt like for a
22:23
Speaker 2: long time many of the particularly the satellite services and
22:28
Speaker 2: things really sort of had them in a position where
22:34
Speaker 2: you're in it. It's not that combination thing that you're
22:38
Speaker 2: getting with places like a cable company, where cable will
22:42
Speaker 2: give you the option of also having TV involved along
22:47
Speaker 2: with the service, and then maybe even foam. So when
22:51
Speaker 2: you start talking about the satellite companies that have really struggled.
22:55
Speaker 2: I know some of the satellite companies have also started
22:58
Speaker 2: to really push their streaming when it comes to their
23:01
Speaker 2: products as well, giving you the digital option for it.
23:05
Speaker 2: This isn't a big surprise. I don't think it's just
23:07
Speaker 2: interesting though that it has actually now surpassed the broadcast
23:12
Speaker 2: networks of TV now. Also, I would just like to
23:15
Speaker 2: point out May is not exactly a period like when
23:18
Speaker 2: you start thinking about sports, when you say, okay, college football,
23:25
Speaker 2: the NFL, you get into those months. Maybe you're looking
23:28
Speaker 2: at a little bit more of a bump for some
23:30
Speaker 2: of the broadcast channels, broadcasting cable, but at least for now,
23:34
Speaker 2: with streaming having a really good month in the month
23:36
Speaker 2: of May, I think you have to be you can't
23:38
Speaker 2: be disingenuous and pretend that May is a month where
23:41
Speaker 2: people are sitting around watching a lot of broadcast TV.
23:44
Speaker 2: I know you get into some season finales for some
23:46
Speaker 2: shows and things in May, but again, I think we
23:50
Speaker 2: have to be real for a minute here when we
23:51
Speaker 2: talk about the fact that it was for the month
23:53
Speaker 2: of May, but it's still an accomplishment for streaming. You
23:56
Speaker 2: don't have to tell dog lovers this, but a new
23:58
Speaker 2: study finds that having a says a lot about your personality.
24:03
Speaker 2: And here's you know, not a big surprise either for
24:06
Speaker 2: us dog lovers. It's great for your personality what it
24:11
Speaker 2: says about it. Researchers from the University of Kent found
24:14
Speaker 2: that dog owners are more outgoing, agreeable, less prone distress.
24:18
Speaker 2: But the perks don't stop there. Whether you have a
24:21
Speaker 2: dog or a cat, Having a furry friend significantly boosch
24:24
Speaker 2: your overall happiness and well being on par with the
24:27
Speaker 2: joy you get from close family and friends. But they
24:32
Speaker 2: are family. Researchers say having a pet is worth up
24:36
Speaker 2: to ninety five thousand dollars a year in life satisfaction. Now, look,
24:42
Speaker 2: I think it's more than that for my dog. It's
24:45
Speaker 2: worth way more than that for my dog. However, I
24:48
Speaker 2: do wonder how they come up with that stuff. How
24:51
Speaker 2: do you come to that figure? I just don't quite
24:54
Speaker 2: get it. I don't understand how you get to that
24:58
Speaker 2: particular figure. It seems like a it's an interesting number
25:03
Speaker 2: to come up with. It just seems arbitrary. Ninety five
25:06
Speaker 2: thousand dollars, Yeah, this sounds good right, all right? With
25:11
Speaker 2: rising costs costs and prices that were already up. I
25:16
Speaker 2: say rising costs, but the rising costs have been going
25:18
Speaker 2: on since the last administration, really since COVID. People are
25:22
Speaker 2: embracing something called homestead core. And they say it's living
25:27
Speaker 2: sustainably with compost bins, canning fruits and vegetables, having chickens
25:34
Speaker 2: and vegetable gardens. A little bit of what we talked
25:37
Speaker 2: about earlier, isn't it? And they say, according to the
25:40
Speaker 2: summer transport from Yelp, consumers are seeking ways to become
25:44
Speaker 2: more self sufficient and enjoy a quaint aesthetic. This definitely
25:49
Speaker 2: started soon after COVID, and I think with the bird
25:54
Speaker 2: flu in things going on and price of eggs going up,
25:57
Speaker 2: I think more and more people were considering that as well.
26:01
Speaker 2: All right, it's out now. Have you tried them yet?
26:04
Speaker 2: The brand new Dill pickle flavor of cup noodles that's
26:12
Speaker 2: going on throughout the summer. It's a special summer yet,
26:15
Speaker 2: Rahma noodles and Dill pickle sauce, And they say sauce,
26:19
Speaker 2: it's juice, right, you're basically having pickle juice. I haven't
26:25
Speaker 2: tried them yet, but I wouldn't necessarily rule it out.
26:28
Speaker 2: You know, I have an affinity for pickles on things
26:32
Speaker 2: like my spaghetti and meatballs. I mean, if you have
26:36
Speaker 2: them on a meatball sub, you could have them on
26:37
Speaker 2: spaghetti and meatballs. All right, that I'll do it for
26:40
Speaker 2: this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors
26:42
