  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Monday morning, twentieth day of July. I'm Wes. Thanks for
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: joining me, those of you in the Chattahoochee Valley area,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: big chunks of the southeast at least like Georgia, Alabama.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I just want to point out to you something that
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: occurred to me. Well, it didn't occur to me. I
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: knew we were getting close, but my lovely bride yesterday
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: pointed out to me that as of today, she said, tomorrow,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: it will be two weeks until school starts. For our kids,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: it's coming. How are they on the summer work? That's
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: the question. Are they caught up? Are they where they
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: need to be on their summer work? If your kids
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: have that, some kids don't. My kids, especially the little one,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: doesn't think that's fair. But he also goes to a
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: school where he's gonna be pushed for the next four years.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: So we welcome to that school. That's the way it's
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: gonna go. So he might as well get used to it.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: And there'll be summer work, you know, for the next
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: few summers and then bingo. So just a heads up,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: just be aware it's coming. It's coming fast. I've already
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: seen all the you know, staplers and tape and glue
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: sticks and all that in the stores. I think there's
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: only one of those things that they need at school, right,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: just the glue sticks. Depends on their age. Now I'm
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: at the age where they're in high school. They just
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: really primarily just need paper. That's all they really. They
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: might get to school and the teachers like you need
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: a special kind of you know, folder in your binder
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: or something. That might be the case. But other than that,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you know, they all just need those glue sticks and pencils.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: What we got. Oh, the World Cup finished yesterday. A
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: couple thoughts on the World Cup. There's a couple things
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: wrapping up. What's been a huge win for the US.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: It's been a massive win, massive success for the host countries.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Primarily the US was the host country. I know Canada
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: had some games, I know Mexico had some games, but
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: let's just most of the games were in the US.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: The final game yesterday was in MetLife Stadium. I know
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: they're not allowed to call it that because the World
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Cup rules, you know, New York, New Jersey Stadium. Whatever
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: they want to call it. It's where the Giants and
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Jets play their home games. That's where they had the
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: final yesterday, and Spain won the World Cup one zero. Sorry,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: if you get it on the DVR and you're gonna
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: watch it later, it's probably not the case of anyone,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: you know. Now, if you're gonna watch it and you
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: you did know the winner or I you know, I
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: hope I didn't ruin the winter for you. But if
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: you're gonna watch it, there's a few things I want
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to say about it, but just overall, the numbers for attendance,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the numbers for tourists, the success of tourists visiting the
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: US with positive things to say about the US, all
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: of those are wins with people vowing I'm gonna come back.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I didn't, you know. We just believe what we saw
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: on TV. This is a war zone and that everything
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: is like those areas of la where you know, in
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: parts of California where people are just shooting up in
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the streets and defecating in the streets by schools and
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: things like. That's what we've heard. And it's like, well,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: we hear that too, but that's not most of the country,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: you know, there's just there's a few places that have
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: gotten significantly worse, and you know, you get leadership in
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: some of those places saying we're gonna press on. We
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: want to make it as bad as possible, because if
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: they do make it as bad as possible, then the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: terrorists win. Right. Remember we used to say that after
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: nine to eleven, after terrorists attacked Islamic terrorists attack the US,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: And we're not supposed to say any of that. But
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you know, so America got a little bit of a
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: shot in the arm as far as the way we're
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: perceived around the world. That's good. The TV numbers were solid.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I know not all Americans got into it, but I
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: believe there'll be some brand new soccer fans soccer leagues
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: if they're not marketing their fall leagues and things and
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: haven't been marketing them after the World Cup and during
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the World Cup missing out, because that's that's a chane.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: And and I'm not just not even just youth leagues,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: adult leagues. They should have been really pushing this. There
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: there will be an interest in the game. And if
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: they watched the World Cup, they watched a lot of
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: people kind of choking each other and punching each other
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and throwing them on the ground and listening to commentators going,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: that's not a foul. Those kind of things when I played,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: it was a foul when I was in high school.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Those are all fouls. You can grab anybody, you can't
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: throw them down, you can't you know, punch them in
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the back of the neck or whatever. All those things,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you know, and in uh in in in men's World
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Cup soccer and the w NBA, all those things are allowed.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Only only one player in the w NBA. But anyway,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: wins for the US. Concerning the World Cup, uh now,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: this is the other part of this that that kind
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: of you have to get you get to the final,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: you got to the well, let's let's go back to
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Saturday first, when we had the the bronze medal game,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the third place game England and France played. It was
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: a it was a shootout, both teams not really playing
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: a lot of defense. They just kind of went after
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: it and you know, you get this was a six
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: to four game. And people loves the most exciting game
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: in the World Cup. It is if you just want
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: to see goals, that's that wasn't really soccer, that's not
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: you know, if you're expecting ten goals in a game,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: you're getting an unrealistic expectation of what the game is.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Doesn't mean you don't have those sometimes, but you know
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: that's that's not really soccer. It's you don't don't go
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: into soccer expecting that. And the other part of it
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: is we got into yesterday's game and it went into
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: extra time before the one goal was scored, and people
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: were like, oh, it was boring, what a boring game?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: No goals through regular time and we get into extra
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: time and then they scored, and that was soccer. That
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: was soccer, And I know that people would rather watch
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: the high scoring things. Every every sport in existence has
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: looked for ways to get scoring up. They're all looking
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: for ways to get scoring up and in some cases
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: to shorten the game. You know, baseball has done their
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: pitch clock and all those things, and you know even
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: the NFL has done things to shorten games. It's like,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: how many games can we get on TV? We just
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: want people just watch and watch and watch and watch them.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: And I get it from a business standpoint, I don't
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: know that those changes are making those games better, but
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: is what it is. Soccer is not going to do
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: anything that's going to be you know, hey, let's get
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: the scoring up. It's just not at not the World
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Cup level. That's not what they're going to do soccer.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: You have to learn to appreciate what's happening on the field.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: You have to know some field vision. You got to
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: be able to see what's developing. Yes, there were many
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: times in that game yesterday it was frustrating to me
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: because I would see things and say, and I don't
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: pretend to be a World Cup level soccer player or coach.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: There's just some things that you kind of see developing,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: and they've got their strategy that they're doing on the field,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: and for me, I would think, Okay, it's a little frustrating.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: They're going back. They should be put pressing. But that's
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: the way most fans watch sports. I yell at the
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: TV during football too. You know, you just do it.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: That's what happens. But I'll say this, there was a
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: point in the game yesterday where one of the players
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: from Argentina was red carded and taken out of the game.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: He had a one was like an attitude yellow card.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Those were my kind of yellow cards when I played,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: there was the added attitude ones it wasn't for fouls.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Then he had a really hard foul getting aggressive late
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: in the game, and that puts him out two yellows.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: As a red you're out of the game. There was
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: apparently complaints from Argentina that one of the players for
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Spain during all of the you know everything that took
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: place with the red card and things, he apparently put
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: his hand over his mouth and said something to Messi.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: MESSI didn't like what he said and pointed out that's
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: supposed to be a red card, it's an automatic red
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: card by their rules, and that player should have been
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: thrown out as well. That would have even things up,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: would have been a different the whole rest of the
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: game would have been different. But is what it is.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know what was said. I don't know the context.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I just know that if he put his hand over
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: his mouth, he should have been ejected. And I'm not.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I had no stock in either team. When I was asked, like,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: you know, how you think it's going to happen, I'm like,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: you know, you'd like MESSI went again, just because this
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: is going to be his probably his last World Cup game,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Spain seems to be a better team, but you can't
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: count Argentina out, so you know, let's just see what happens.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: If I had to bet, I would have bet on Spain.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: That seemed to be the safe bet. I'm not a gambler.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: So the game plays out the way it does, and
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: you know, an exciting goal late in the won an
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: extra early and extra time, and then you just kind
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: of go, all right, well, I guess it was early
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: in the second lump of extra time. They got through
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the first fifteen minutes they were I guess the first
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: minute of the second fifteen And I know for people
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: who aren't gonna like soccer, they're just not gonna like it.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I can tell you this though. Sometimes you watch those
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: old it's not really the case much anymore, but you'd
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: watch the old college football games and you'd get a game,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: you know, like a nine to six game, just a
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: lot of defense, great field goals, kicker and you know,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: going at it. Somebody makes a long field goal to
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: win a game. And you know, now people would say
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: that's boring watching good defenses do what good defenses do,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: and sports should be appreciated. These were defenses going at
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: it had the red card not happen, and had Argentina
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: made it into penalty kicks, they had a really good
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: chance of winning the whole thing with penalty kicks. A
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: lot of people don't like that as a way to
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: decide a game like this, but I'll just say this
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: was It would have gone down to me as just
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: one of the great coaching strategies in a game. They
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: weren't doing a lot on offense because they were doing
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: very specific things on defense, and they were taking a
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: few chances. They didn't take any shots until extra time,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: not shots on goal. So had it worked out their way,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: it would have been this amazing all all you could
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: have talked about would have been well, it would have
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: talked about Messi, but the coaching and the strategies and
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: them executing it, that would have been what should have
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: been talked about. But losing this player, he got reckless.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: He didn't execute strategy by getting thrown out whatever, by
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: simply just running his mouth. That was the That's the
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: other part of it. And hey, been there, I've been there.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Not in the World Cup. I think in the World
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Cup I could behave myself. I got a lot better
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: in adult rec league. The older I got. I just
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: was too tired playing for T shirts and a photo.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I think now they do a photo with a little trophy.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: You know, it's that's fine. It's fun. It's fun when
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: you're playing with your friends and you win, and that's great.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: But you know, we did that a few times. But
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: that's what you're doing. You're playing for a T shirt
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: and have a good time. That's what you're doing. It's
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: rec league. It's adult rec league. And you know, I
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: was playing in my forties. So anyway, I hope that
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: people understand that third place game England and France, that's
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: not that's not really what you're gonna get most of
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: the time. And what you got yesterday, that's that's two
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: great teams just slugging it out on defense. No, it
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: seems boring, I understand. And if you just found it
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: boring and couldn't enjoy it, it's either gonna grow on
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: you or maybe you're not cut out for it. And
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I've got i've got friends, I've got former teammates, I've
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: got family members. They just don't watch it because they
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: find it boring. And some of them, you know, played soccer,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: find it boring. Anyway, it was a big win for
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: the US though, and it was great seeing Trump on
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: the field. Trump up in attendance. I know that's always
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: going to be some sort of divisive thing whenever he's there,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: but seeing him on the field during the presentations, it
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: was nice. And I think everybody played nice with that.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: One more quick thing just transition over to this, and
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: it's no big shock that, you know, Bill Maher has
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: said something that's upset liberals and Democrats. And he's saying
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: something that a lot of conservatives have been asking here,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: especially these last couple of weeks, and you know, how
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: can the left? How can Democrats support some of these extreme,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: far left socialist candidates? And Mar on his show No No,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: This not on his show, This was on ABC News
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: this week and he was asked about his comments he'd
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: been making about my Democrats are nominating candidates aligned with
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: the party socialist wing. He said that the Democrats are
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: cowardly and he says that radicals are taken over the party.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: And he was asked on this week on ABC if
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: he would consider voting for jd Vance for president if
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: he's the Republican nominee. Mars's answer was yes, if this
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: is the Democrat side, Yes, he would consider voting for JD.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Vance And he said, my vote is in play because
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: it can't be Trump running. So I'm not living in
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: communist America. And he said, I mean, I know the
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: talking point is that it's not communism, it's socialism. Okay,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I've read the quotes from the DSA platform from their
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: own mouths. Don't tell me I'm not seeing what I'm seeing. Yes,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: that is exactly what Bill Marris sing, We're all seeing.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Anyone who understands it isn't just wishing it to be
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: something that it's not. We'll do. I know we're going
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: to get to more on the DSA. But he says,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Democrats don't come and yet they got my vote. What
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: that is? Wait, it's just odd, isn't it. Why is
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: that so? What is that all about? Democrats are cowardly?
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: They're cowardly. So, Yes, growing more and more resentment from
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Democrats who say that he's gone too far by actually
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: having a conversation with Trump when he had a meal
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: at the White House when he was invited, and yeah,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: calling the party cowards. And he's right, they're not fighting
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: for their party. They're just kind of sitting back and
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: writing it out because they're worried about upsetting somebody and
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: they feel like they need every one of those votes.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: And for him to say my vote is in play,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I think we need to really pay attention to some
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: of the other people whose votes might be in play.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: And we talked a little bit about this last week,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: but you got a number of people that really should
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: be taking some inventory when it comes to their blind
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: loyalty and saying, well, wait a minute, because Mar did this.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Mar was a blind loyalist for a long time. He
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: says he wasn't, but he was all in on the left,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: and he's been taking that step back and saying, well,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: maybe not so much, not anymore, not if they're going
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: to be these cowards. And I say good for him
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: for that. Get ready for dragon Con forty. It's the
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: fortieth dragon Con and it happens Labor Day weekend in
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: downtown Atlanta September third through the seventh, and you can
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: get ready for it with the Dragon Con, a pregame
• 17:50

• 21:10
  Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: to be, and you need some repair work done to
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty five

• 22:44
  Speaker 2: after the break.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: One of the big winners from the World Cup was
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: ranch dressing, or as people from outside the US have
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: been calling it, American dressing, and many we've had this
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: story where there were a lot of people, many people
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: were taking bottles of ranch dressing home after leaving the
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: US and spending time here. As a tourist got hooked
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: on the stuff and said, I must take some home.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: It's interesting, you know, I've brought home various foods from trips,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: various assortments of tim tams. If you haven't had the
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: tim Tam cookies from Australia or biscuits as they call them,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: you can find them the kind of basic flavors of
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: them in stores here in the US, but finding the
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: ones the more exotic flavors not so much. So we
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: brought some of those home a number of times on trips,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: especially on our last trip last year, and also of
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: course bringing home things like vegamite, which are very very Australian.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: So on the subject of ranch dressing, which people are
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: taking home, they want to have it, well, this is
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: not really really, I don't know. Maybe some of the
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: people that are taking it home would would like to
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: have this. I don't know. Maybe if they had tried
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: this particular variety of ranch dressing, maybe they would not
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: have wanted to take any home. The folks at Buffalo
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Wild Wings basically were like, what can we add to
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: ranch dressing? I know what it needs pop rocks. So
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: that's what's happened. The chain is rolling out Popping Ranch,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: a packet of ranch flavored popping candy that adds a
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: little crackle and sizzle in your mouth while you're eating
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: your wings. Basically, they're saying it delivers a creamy, tasty
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: ranch flavor along with that, along with that fun popping
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: sensation of pop rocks. They say it goes especially well
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: on wings, cauliflower bites, sliders. Gimmicky, but people say it's
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: fun and they're going to be selling it, I guess
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: beginning today, and it'll be available at Buffalo Wild Wings
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: locations ninety nine cents a packet while supplies last. So
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: anyone leaving the anyone leaving the country, you know, this
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: week after the World Cup, it's as your chance take
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: something very you know, your American dressing as a pop
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Rocks flavor. I don't know, it's weird A psychiatrist and
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: a gen xer, says that people who still long for
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: the eighties aren't really missing all of those kind of
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: classic eighties things. It's not the clothes, it's not the hair,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: or the shoulder pads or even arcades. I beg to
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: differ on that. I do miss the arcades well in
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: a I don't know. We have them, but they're not
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: the same Marcaide Well. In a recent viral video, Jeff
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Knupple says, as the expert in all of this, says
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: that we're missing, as a gen xer from the eighties,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: is six specific things that made everyday life feel simpler
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: and more connected, and he says those things are being
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: unreachable when you're away from home, being bombarded by constant
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: news and notifications, enjoying hobbies without turning them into content,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: being able to fix things yourself, trusting what you saw
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: and heard, and living in a world where scarcity made
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: experiences feel more special. Many of these I would agree with.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: I do want to point out though, that some of
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: these things, if you really are longing for them, you
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: can simply just not do them. You don't have to
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: have your phone on all the time when you're away
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: from home. You don't have to if you're longing for that.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: I enjoy being able to be reached, so that's you know.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: But I'm self employed, you know, so that makes a
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: difference too. I don't have anybody nagging me about things.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: I don't have an I used to have an employer
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: who would say, we'll turn your phone off when you're
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: not at work and then nobody you'll reach you. And
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: then if you had your phone on, they would why
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: don't you have your phone on? Wasn't it on? So
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: I don't have that anymore. News and notifications again, that's
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: on you. You can control that. Enjoying hobbies without turning
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: them into content. Again, you're got that under control now.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Being able to fix things yourself. I think the Internet
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: has made that easier because the YouTube videos will tell you.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: I know, it's harder to fix certain things newer technology,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: trusting what you saw and heard. Yeah, that's uh. I mean,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: if you can learn how to vet information without just
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: diving in head first, that makes a difference. And you know,
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: scarcity does make experiences feel more special, uh, back in
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: the day, and I don't know that we're ever going
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: to have that again. So I don't know there's any
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: control over that. That'll do it for this Monday edition
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank
• 28:13
