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.
0:10
Speaker 2: Monday morning, twelfth day of May. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:15
Speaker 2: joining me, kicking off another week here together. Some of
0:18
Speaker 2: the area schools done, got a few more that'll be
0:22
Speaker 2: wrapping things up over the next couple of weeks and
0:25
Speaker 2: then around the country. It's just be a little bit
0:27
Speaker 2: slower for a few but many schools try to get
0:30
Speaker 2: things done by Memorial Day. I can remember. It seems
0:34
Speaker 2: like just a few years ago they were done by
0:35
Speaker 2: like mid May, like by this point. Even the Muscogee
0:41
Speaker 2: County School District here in Columbus was done, I think
0:44
Speaker 2: by around this point, maybe a little bit later, but
0:47
Speaker 2: that's it was pretty close to around now. But anyway,
0:50
Speaker 2: I hope you had a good Mother's Day yesterday, Mother's
0:55
Speaker 2: Day weekend for the moms, the moms that are listening.
0:59
Speaker 2: I got a few moms I know that have told
1:02
Speaker 2: me they like to listen while they drink coffee. I
1:04
Speaker 2: appreciate that. Some listening in the car and I love
1:09
Speaker 2: hearing from you guys, And when I hear from from
1:13
Speaker 2: someone who says you know you just you make my
1:16
Speaker 2: morning coffee hit just right. I appreciate that. Thank you,
1:21
Speaker 2: that's that's very much a compliment. I like to think
1:23
Speaker 2: that if you're enjoying me along with your coffee, that's
1:27
Speaker 2: I hope. If you're putting me in the same company
1:29
Speaker 2: with coffee, that's pretty darn good. If you throw a
1:31
Speaker 2: little bacon in the mix, then it's extra special, i'd say.
1:36
Speaker 2: But that's up to you. I don't know what your
1:38
Speaker 2: what your protein choices are, so but and for the guys,
1:43
Speaker 2: I hope you took care of the moms, your mom
1:45
Speaker 2: or you know, the mom of your kids or both
1:48
Speaker 2: or whatever. You got to take care of those moms
1:51
Speaker 2: in all those circumstances. I hope you were able to
1:54
Speaker 2: do that. I could spend time with my mom yesterday
1:57
Speaker 2: as well as of course my wife and we were
2:01
Speaker 2: able to go have a nice dinner together at one
2:04
Speaker 2: of our favorite places. And anyway, it's good. It's a nice,
2:08
Speaker 2: nice weekend that came on the heels of last week.
2:12
Speaker 2: And I mentioned this last week. Thursday night was the
2:15
Speaker 2: hooding ceremony for Columbus State University, and I did that
2:20
Speaker 2: ceremony as the official voice of Columbus State University Academics.
2:28
Speaker 2: My old radio partner, Scott Miller, the voice of Columbus
2:31
Speaker 2: State University Athletics. I'm the voice of academics. I'm the
2:35
Speaker 2: one who calls the names of graduation. But we did
2:38
Speaker 2: that ceremony on Thursday night, and then on Friday all
2:42
Speaker 2: day was gratword graduation ceremonies that we you know, I
2:48
Speaker 2: was there for all of those reading all those names,
2:50
Speaker 2: calling all those names. I think it went pretty well.
2:54
Speaker 2: I've said this before. I try to hit in the
2:55
Speaker 2: high nineties for as far as accuracy percentile, I think
2:59
Speaker 2: I probably got. I feel pretty good. I mean, I
3:02
Speaker 2: think ninety eight is a fair ninety seven ninety eight
3:04
Speaker 2: percent that feels like a good number, and I think
3:06
Speaker 2: I was pretty close to that. I'm certain I missed
3:09
Speaker 2: a couple. It happens sometimes I miss one and don't
3:13
Speaker 2: even realize that I missed it. So I try to
3:15
Speaker 2: take that into account. But no, it was a good time,
3:18
Speaker 2: a good ceremony. It was great being there to celebrate.
3:20
Speaker 2: And I mentioned this last week, but I feel like
3:25
Speaker 2: I should say it again. It's an honor to me
3:29
Speaker 2: to be part of it. I like the fact that
3:32
Speaker 2: I basically get just a little bit of time with
3:34
Speaker 2: almost every single person who walks across that stage over
3:38
Speaker 2: the period of the graduations, and I enjoy being part
3:43
Speaker 2: of their day. I enjoy when we have an interaction
3:45
Speaker 2: and they tell me that they heard me call their
3:47
Speaker 2: friend's name or their siblings name and a previous graduation,
3:51
Speaker 2: and then flattery when they say, you know, I'm glad
3:54
Speaker 2: that you're still doing it. I will do it as
3:57
Speaker 2: long as they asked me to do it and as
3:58
Speaker 2: long as I'm able. I really enjoyed being a part
4:01
Speaker 2: of it. And I think it's just to be a
4:03
Speaker 2: tiny little part of their huge day, one of the
4:07
Speaker 2: one of the final minutes of them being at the school.
4:10
Speaker 2: It's nice to be part of that. And it's the
4:12
Speaker 2: school I graduated from many moons ago. But again, I
4:17
Speaker 2: had a great time doing it. I always do. It's
4:20
Speaker 2: a weird skill to know that you have to learn
4:24
Speaker 2: that you have and I wouldn't have ever guessed this
4:26
Speaker 2: would be something that fits into my skill set. But
4:32
Speaker 2: discovering that I was able to do this and do
4:35
Speaker 2: this I think reasonably well, I at least put the
4:38
Speaker 2: effort in so again I appreciate them for letting me
4:42
Speaker 2: be a part of it. And to all the students, congratulations.
4:44
Speaker 2: I know there's high school and other colleges and things
4:47
Speaker 2: doing graduations around the country. So the other thing that
4:52
Speaker 2: happened on Thursday, and I didn't want to talk about
4:55
Speaker 2: it on Friday, there wasn't really much time. I don't
4:57
Speaker 2: there's not a lot for me to say about it.
5:00
Speaker 2: Explain that in a second. But we did, of course
5:03
Speaker 2: last week get a new pope, Pope Leo the fourteenth.
5:07
Speaker 2: This is obviously historic. You've heard all the stories first
5:11
Speaker 2: American born pope. A lot of thoughts about that as
5:18
Speaker 2: far as it being something that maybe would never really happen,
5:21
Speaker 2: or wouldn't happen for a long time. If ever, the
5:24
Speaker 2: feelings that maybe America has a little bit too much
5:27
Speaker 2: controlled on the world stage already. You throw in an
5:30
Speaker 2: American born pope, and you know, some people thought that
5:34
Speaker 2: would you know, maybe cause an imbalance of things. It's
5:37
Speaker 2: interesting when you watch the way the whole process takes it.
5:41
Speaker 2: It's fascinating the history in it, and it's fascinating all
5:44
Speaker 2: the stuff with the smoke, but seeing the crowds of
5:47
Speaker 2: people when they realize, okay, we've gotten the white smoke.
5:51
Speaker 2: We're waiting to find out who it is. And the
5:53
Speaker 2: crowd and it has it has a draft day feel
5:57
Speaker 2: in sports, like the NFL Draft, when all the people
6:00
Speaker 2: gather and they're waiting to hear, you know, their teams,
6:03
Speaker 2: but it's different and that you have all these people
6:07
Speaker 2: that are there to find out who, collectively their pope is.
6:10
Speaker 2: It's like a draft day party just at the stadium
6:13
Speaker 2: for the team. But realistically, I would think there's very
6:19
Speaker 2: little chance of their being you know, the way in
6:23
Speaker 2: a football draft, they pick the wrong player according to
6:26
Speaker 2: the fans, and they're disappointed and they scream and they
6:29
Speaker 2: boo and they cry about it and like Josh Allen
6:33
Speaker 2: and then he ends up being, you know, MVP of
6:36
Speaker 2: the league, one of the best quarter probably the best
6:39
Speaker 2: quarterback playing right now, and you know, suddenly the fans
6:45
Speaker 2: are going, oh, yeah, we complain, but it worked out
6:47
Speaker 2: all right. Not much chance of that happening. I don't
6:50
Speaker 2: think people go into the announcement of the new pope
6:53
Speaker 2: expecting to be disappointed and angry and shaking their fist.
6:56
Speaker 2: Maybe some are, I assume there would be some would
7:00
Speaker 2: be disappointed, maybe especially parts of the world who thought,
7:03
Speaker 2: maybe this is our time to have a first pope,
7:07
Speaker 2: you know, from from this place or that place. Obviously,
7:12
Speaker 2: America is, you know, excited, a lot of American Catholics
7:16
Speaker 2: excited about having an American pope. And there's someone asked
7:22
Speaker 2: me on Friday or one day last week, maybe it
7:29
Speaker 2: was over the weekend, but someone asked me my thoughts
7:31
Speaker 2: on the pope and this was the way that I
7:34
Speaker 2: answered the question. And I just, you know, not being Catholic,
7:37
Speaker 2: there's there's not a lot of input that I can
7:41
Speaker 2: have in the conversation. I feel like when when obviously
7:50
Speaker 2: you have the passing of a pope, then you know
7:52
Speaker 2: there's going to be a new pope announced and you
7:54
Speaker 2: know that this process is going to begin. So as
7:58
Speaker 2: a Christian, I pray for the pope and who the
8:03
Speaker 2: new pope will be, what the new Pope's messaging will be,
8:07
Speaker 2: what the new Pope's influence could be. I think that
8:13
Speaker 2: a growing Catholic Church is only positive for the world,
8:18
Speaker 2: and I think that getting the right person that can
8:21
Speaker 2: do that is important. It's also very important though that
8:26
Speaker 2: the church, much like Christianity in general, you want it
8:32
Speaker 2: to be true to the word. You want it to
8:36
Speaker 2: be genuine, you want it to be scripture based, and
8:43
Speaker 2: you want it to be non political. And it really
8:47
Speaker 2: hasn't sorted. We haven't had a completely apolitical situation in
8:52
Speaker 2: a while, okay. And I know it's hard to keep
8:55
Speaker 2: all that out of it because inevitably questions get asked
8:58
Speaker 2: and there's going to be influences things with it. Again,
9:00
Speaker 2: even that much, for me, I'm seeing it as an outsider,
9:04
Speaker 2: not a member of the Catholic Church, so I feel
9:07
Speaker 2: limited on what I can say with much intelligence. I
9:12
Speaker 2: have very many, very dear friends who are Catholic. They
9:15
Speaker 2: could talk about this at much more length than me,
9:19
Speaker 2: with much more insight. Some of them may be even
9:24
Speaker 2: already rolling their eyes at things I've said. I think
9:27
Speaker 2: I'm being honest with you. I'm not an expert on this.
9:30
Speaker 2: I can't pretend to be an expert on this, and
9:33
Speaker 2: I appreciate someone asking me, Hey, what are your thoughts.
9:37
Speaker 2: And I think there's certainly the potential for an American
9:40
Speaker 2: pope to be great, especially within America. I think all
9:45
Speaker 2: of that is there for that, and I think what
9:47
Speaker 2: we know so far about this guy is it. Maybe
9:52
Speaker 2: this could all be a very positive thing. I pray
9:54
Speaker 2: that it will be. I hope that this is exactly
9:57
Speaker 2: what the Catholic Church in America needs so and around
10:01
Speaker 2: the world. I don't want to, you know, take that away,
10:03
Speaker 2: but you know, you want to be able to see
10:07
Speaker 2: growing numbers. We hear so much about, you know, churches
10:11
Speaker 2: and denominations and things with numbers falling off and trailing off,
10:15
Speaker 2: and you want this to be a positive I have
10:18
Speaker 2: friends and family overseas. Many I have, you know, in
10:24
Speaker 2: laws and very dear friends that live overseas in different countries,
10:30
Speaker 2: that are from different countries, that live here in some cases.
10:34
Speaker 2: But I'm speaking specifically about the ones that live in
10:38
Speaker 2: other countries that for some reason living in other countries
10:44
Speaker 2: and not necessarily working in media of any kind, that
10:51
Speaker 2: think they have a grasp and an honest and sincere
10:54
Speaker 2: understanding of what American politics is like, and they don't.
10:59
Speaker 2: I feel that they're as unqualified to talk about that
11:05
Speaker 2: as I am to talk about the new pope. I mean,
11:07
Speaker 2: That's how I feel about it. Sure, people can have
11:10
Speaker 2: their opinions, but it doesn't mean that their opinions are correct.
11:13
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that they need to be spouting them
11:17
Speaker 2: off to everybody all the time, when really it's not
11:21
Speaker 2: an area that they know anything about, and it's not
11:24
Speaker 2: an area that I know a lot about. I know
11:26
Speaker 2: some I don't know enough. I like to at least
11:30
Speaker 2: approach things honestly and tell you I don't know a
11:34
Speaker 2: lot about this, to tell you what my thoughts are
11:36
Speaker 2: on it. And I can talk to if any of
11:41
Speaker 2: my friends overseas have genuine questions about American politics and
11:47
Speaker 2: they're not just basing it on you know, third, fourth
11:50
Speaker 2: and fifth hand game of telephone for news that's gotten
11:53
Speaker 2: to them, we can have that conversation. But it's really
11:58
Speaker 2: hard for me to have some and say, well, I
12:00
Speaker 2: know what's going on, and this person's bad and that
12:03
Speaker 2: person's good, and this person's worse.
12:05
Speaker 1: Or whatever it's.
12:07
Speaker 2: You know, you're kind of getting that information from a
12:09
Speaker 2: few different sources. I want to change the subject quickly, though,
12:13
Speaker 2: I want to talk. I wanted to get some time
12:14
Speaker 2: in talking about former President Biden, who has done an
12:21
Speaker 2: interview with the View as he's you know, re emerged,
12:26
Speaker 2: he took his you know what they're talking about, how
12:30
Speaker 2: he's out of politics basically retired, he's doing about as
12:34
Speaker 2: much press as he did when he was president. I mean,
12:37
Speaker 2: it really hasn't changed a whole lot he's been I
12:40
Speaker 2: guess on vacation, he spent a lot of time as
12:42
Speaker 2: president on vacation. I really don't knock presidents for taking
12:47
Speaker 2: vacation time or playing golf for any of those things.
12:50
Speaker 2: I've tried not to do that over the years. There's
12:52
Speaker 2: probably a point in time where maybe I did make
12:54
Speaker 2: jokes about it. Now I don't feel so comfortable with it,
12:58
Speaker 2: because I feel like it is a tough job if
13:02
Speaker 2: you're actually doing it, and you do need time to decompress,
13:08
Speaker 2: and I think it's important. But if all you're really
13:11
Speaker 2: doing is, you know, maybe three days of work maybe,
13:16
Speaker 2: and even those are short days, and you got other
13:20
Speaker 2: people kind of doing everything behind the scenes and signing
13:23
Speaker 2: your name to papers I don't know, or digitally signing
13:26
Speaker 2: your name to screens, it's hard for me to say, yeah,
13:30
Speaker 2: they should be taking all of that time off. But anyway,
13:34
Speaker 2: he's spoken on the view and he basically a few
13:37
Speaker 2: things first and foremost. I guess within all of this,
13:41
Speaker 2: he has said that if he had not dropped out
13:44
Speaker 2: of the race. He maintains that he would have won
13:47
Speaker 2: the White House, and he blames the loss of Harris
13:54
Speaker 2: on sexism and racism. He focused a lot on sexism,
13:59
Speaker 2: and he said that basically, if he doesn't drop out,
14:05
Speaker 2: he would win. And he feels like Harris was a
14:08
Speaker 2: great candidate, a qualified candidate, and that yeah, I mean,
14:14
Speaker 2: if not for sexism and racism. And when it came
14:18
Speaker 2: to talking about his cognitive decline, he kind of rambled
14:22
Speaker 2: on and on and on, and eventually his wife jumped in,
14:24
Speaker 2: Jill Biden, who was there by his side, probably much
14:27
Speaker 2: like the Easter Bunny, to keep him on track. And
14:31
Speaker 2: then she basically bailed him out of the situation, as
14:38
Speaker 2: you know, to be able to help him. As he
14:39
Speaker 2: was babbling on and on about his answer to the
14:42
Speaker 2: question they asked him. They were talking about the books
14:49
Speaker 2: that have come out since the election, and they were
14:53
Speaker 2: asking him about the cognitive decline. Biden says, they're wrong,
14:56
Speaker 2: there's nothing to sustain that. Number one. Number two. You know,
15:00
Speaker 2: think of what we left with. We left with a
15:03
Speaker 2: circumstance we had where we had an insurrection when I started,
15:07
Speaker 2: not since the Civil War. We had a circumstance where
15:12
Speaker 2: we were in a position that we well, the pandemic.
15:16
Speaker 2: I'm making this sound way better than he did because
15:20
Speaker 2: of the incompetence of the last outfit end up over
15:23
Speaker 2: a million people dying, a million people dying. And we're
15:27
Speaker 2: also in a situation where we found ourselves unable to
15:30
Speaker 2: deal with a lot of basic issues which I won't
15:34
Speaker 2: go into in the interest of time. And so we
15:38
Speaker 2: went to work and we got it done. And you
15:40
Speaker 2: know one of those things that well, I'm and he
15:43
Speaker 2: just kind of was trailing off. And then that's when
15:46
Speaker 2: his wife jumped in and basically says, I think the
15:49
Speaker 2: people who wrote those books weren't in the White House
15:52
Speaker 2: with us, and they didn't see how Joe worked hard
15:56
Speaker 2: every single day, or how hard Joe worked every single day.
15:58
Speaker 2: I mean he'd get up put in a full day,
16:01
Speaker 2: and then at night he would I'd be in bed,
16:04
Speaker 2: you know, reading my book, and he was still on
16:06
Speaker 2: the phone, reading his briefings, working with staff. I mean
16:08
Speaker 2: it was NonStop. He non stop worked while he was
16:13
Speaker 2: riding and wrecking his bike at the beach and all
16:16
Speaker 2: those sorts of things. It was NonStop. He never stopped working.
16:20
Speaker 2: Let me just say this because there's a lot there
16:22
Speaker 2: and the clear cognition issues that were he was bailed
16:26
Speaker 2: out of by Jill Biden. But that's not even what
16:31
Speaker 2: I want to talk about. I want to just focus
16:33
Speaker 2: on one part of this whole thing, first of all.
16:35
Speaker 2: And the sexism and the racism accusations, We've heard it boring.
16:39
Speaker 2: Let's let's just keep digging that hole deeper and deeper
16:43
Speaker 2: on the left and destroying that party. Here's what I
16:47
Speaker 2: want to focus on, the fact that he still believes
16:50
Speaker 2: that he would have won and on the view the
16:54
Speaker 2: hosts told him it was a brave decision that he
16:57
Speaker 2: made to step down and get out of the race.
17:00
Speaker 2: Had to be a hard decision, and it was brave.
17:03
Speaker 2: I want to call the opposite. I'm calling it cowardice.
17:06
Speaker 2: This is someone who said repeatedly that he uh was
17:13
Speaker 2: was fighting to save democracy, that Donald Trump was putting
17:17
Speaker 2: democracy in jeopardy, that Donald Trump was gonna you know,
17:21
Speaker 2: it was bringing fascism, and he was hitler, and he
17:24
Speaker 2: was all these horrible things. His party had painted this
17:27
Speaker 2: picture of Donald Trump where they were basically begging an
17:30
Speaker 2: assassin to kill him. I mean, not directly, but you
17:34
Speaker 2: say it enough and you call someone a danger to
17:37
Speaker 2: the country and to the world enough, you're you're you're
17:41
Speaker 2: basically saying this. You know, it's it's sort of like
17:47
Speaker 2: lying down in front of a car when you know
17:48
Speaker 2: the person's about to go murder somebody and you're trying
17:51
Speaker 2: to stop him. I mean, you're basically putting people in
17:54
Speaker 2: a position where it's like, what are you going to
17:55
Speaker 2: do to stop them? He couldn't even stand up to
18:00
Speaker 2: the leaders in the Democrat Party to try to stop
18:03
Speaker 2: this man. He believed publicly that Donald Trump was so
18:08
Speaker 2: which by the way, and if he really believed Trump
18:10
Speaker 2: was so bad and such a bad person to step
18:13
Speaker 2: in after him again, why do you even step aside?
18:20
Speaker 2: Why do you I mean, I'm glad, I'm glad that
18:23
Speaker 2: Trump ultimately, you know, handed the keys to Biden left,
18:28
Speaker 2: and Biden handed the keys to Trump. But you're calling
18:31
Speaker 2: this person such a threat to the world, yet when
18:37
Speaker 2: it comes time to actually fighting for it and trying
18:40
Speaker 2: to make sure he loses, you just step aside because
18:44
Speaker 2: they're pushing me out. It was his nomination to keep.
18:50
Speaker 2: He let them push him aside because it was getting hard.
18:55
Speaker 2: That's cowardice. If you say I could have won, and
18:59
Speaker 2: I could have saved everybody this hassle and headache that
19:02
Speaker 2: everybody says was coming, and that people are over hyping
19:05
Speaker 2: and saying, oh, this is the worst thing ever, It's terrible.
19:10
Speaker 2: Then where was this bravery? It was brave to step down. No,
19:15
Speaker 2: it would have been brave to stick in there. It
19:18
Speaker 2: would have been brave to finish out your term and
19:24
Speaker 2: your run for a second term. That would have been brave.
19:30
Speaker 2: Stepping aside isn't brave, especially not when you think the
19:33
Speaker 2: fate of the world. Imagine, you know, soldiers go into war.
19:38
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go fight for freedom. Uh maybe not. That's
19:44
Speaker 2: what the bravery is. The bravery is when you actually
19:46
Speaker 2: go through with it. Not you do everything but step
19:50
Speaker 2: on the plane or the boat. You just say, huh,
19:54
Speaker 2: this is hard. There's people that don't want me to go.
19:56
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stay home. I'm not gonna go over there
19:59
Speaker 2: and fight for this freedom. I'm not going to go
20:02
Speaker 2: put it all on the line for this freedom. The
20:05
Speaker 2: leaders of our Nancy Pelosi is whining and wants me

23:28
Speaker 2: Right after the break, Thunderbolts top at the box office
23:40
Speaker 2: second weekend in a row. For that thirty three point
23:42
Speaker 2: one million dollars centners was in second place, minecraft The
23:47
Speaker 2: Accountant and Clown in the Corfield Cornfield Like Corfield Cornfield
23:53
Speaker 2: three point seven million. That was the only new movie
23:57
Speaker 2: this weekend that broke into the the top five. So
24:03
Speaker 2: Shadow Force and Fight or Flight had a basically a
24:07
Speaker 2: tie for the sixth place spot. So there you go.
24:12
Speaker 2: Thunderbolts is good. It's fun. It's fun movie. You know,
24:16
Speaker 2: it's a good time. It's setting up other Marvel movies.
24:19
Speaker 2: They're hoping to recapture some of that old glory, so
24:22
Speaker 2: you know, maybe they'll be able to do that well
24:25
Speaker 2: with we're still dealing with inflation and high prices and
24:31
Speaker 2: apparently the estimates as far as what people spent yesterday
24:37
Speaker 2: and over the weekend for Mother's Day, the estimation, according
24:41
Speaker 2: to National Retail Federation had the guesses at about thirty
24:44
Speaker 2: four point one billion on gifts and celebrations, and that
24:49
Speaker 2: was expected to be two percent up from a year ago.
24:54
Speaker 2: With eighty four percent of adults celebrating the holiday and
24:58
Speaker 2: spending an average of two hundred fifty nine dollars, Seventy
25:02
Speaker 2: four percent bought flowers, seventy three percent bought a greeting card,
25:07
Speaker 2: and sixty one percent went to dinner or a brunch
25:12
Speaker 2: or maybe a lunch something post church, maybe one of
25:17
Speaker 2: those kind of deals. Anyway, gen Z were expected to
25:20
Speaker 2: be the most likely to buy gifts for Mother's Day yesterday,
25:25
Speaker 2: So that's kind of what the expectations were in the
25:29
Speaker 2: reality that came out of all of that. And here's
25:32
Speaker 2: the deal. This is one of those things statistically about
25:38
Speaker 2: moms in general. If you gave your mom a gift
25:41
Speaker 2: yesterday and she didn't like it, chances are she probably
25:46
Speaker 2: told you that she liked it. Anyway, Sixty two percent
25:48
Speaker 2: of moms say that they like a gift even if
25:52
Speaker 2: they don't like it, So you know, just keep that
25:57
Speaker 2: in mind. You can think, man, she really does that,
26:00
Speaker 2: she really liked it a lot. Maybe not so fast,
26:03
Speaker 2: and let her have it. She's doing it for you.
26:05
Speaker 2: She's doing it for you. So also, one more quick
26:11
Speaker 2: thing on mom's a survey that says seventy percent of
26:15
Speaker 2: people say that they have a cool mom or the
26:17
Speaker 2: cool mom in their group, with sixty two percent saying
26:21
Speaker 2: that their mom is the cool one because she's open
26:23
Speaker 2: and honest, there's no topic off limits. Over fifty percent
26:28
Speaker 2: said that their mom was cool because she bends the rules,
26:32
Speaker 2: and fifty two percent think that their mom has great
26:35
Speaker 2: taste and great style, so things that would you know,
26:41
Speaker 2: constitute making your mom cool. The release of Nintendo Switch
26:46
Speaker 2: to is still expected June fifth. The company insiders are
26:49
Speaker 2: trying to figure out just how many gaming systems will
26:52
Speaker 2: ship the first year. The predictions have been all over
26:54
Speaker 2: the place because of the economy, maybe possible tariff issues,
26:59
Speaker 2: and they settled on fifteen million, which is almost two
27:02
Speaker 2: million less than they thought before. Some changes came along
27:06
Speaker 2: or potential changes came along with tariffs, so as comparison,
27:11
Speaker 2: Nintendo has sold over one hundred and fifty million Switch
27:15
Speaker 2: one units to date, including seventeen point eight million in
27:19
Speaker 2: the first thirteen months after the console was released. Amazon
27:25

27:33
Speaker 2: allow the machines to have a human like sense of touch.
27:36
Speaker 2: The robots are designed to carry out detailed picking and
27:40
Speaker 2: packing jobs in the warehouses, so that now it could
27:44
Speaker 2: before I guess, currently only able to be done by people.
27:48
Speaker 2: But now with this human like sense of touch, they
27:52
Speaker 2: say that they'd be able to cover more of these
27:55
Speaker 2: warehouse type jobs. So there you go, all right, then,
