- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Thursday morning, a twentieth day of March. I'm Wes, thanks
- 0:13Speaker 2: for joining me. Is the pollen absolutely kicking your butt too?
- 0:18Speaker 2: It is hitting me harder than it has ever. I've
- 0:22Speaker 2: always had allergies my entire life. I feel like when
- 0:29Speaker 2: I was a kid, really struggled with him a lot.
- 0:32Speaker 2: And it feels like now that I've hit fifty, it
- 0:35Speaker 2: is this is the worst stint that I have that
- 0:40Speaker 2: I have had with it. I guess my whole life.
- 0:44Speaker 2: I mean, I started to feel like fall allergies, we're
- 0:47Speaker 2: getting worse. But this has been terrible. And I'll just
- 0:51Speaker 2: say this, there's pros and cons here on this first
- 0:54Speaker 2: day of spring, right, there's pros and cons to it.
- 0:58Speaker 2: And Jill pointed it out this morning when she said,
- 1:01Speaker 2: you know, yes, I understand, but you got the pipes.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Your voice sounds great. I said, well, normally I go
- 1:10Speaker 2: for the more you know, traditional West delivery, but I'll
- 1:14Speaker 2: take advantage while I got it without having to do
- 1:17Speaker 2: any of you know, some people get the extra pipes,
- 1:21Speaker 2: smoking and all that kind of stuff. I didn't have
- 1:24Speaker 2: to do that. I just have to go outside and
- 1:25Speaker 2: suck in a bunch of pollen, and then I'm able
- 1:28Speaker 2: to take advantage of having just a little extra bass
- 1:32Speaker 2: in the voice. Maybe I need to join a like
- 1:35Speaker 2: a quartet in this barbershop. I could. I could be
- 1:39Speaker 2: the guy that says carbon San Diego. I could be
- 1:41Speaker 2: that guy. Really, I don't know how was that didn't
- 1:45Speaker 2: sound bad in my ears? I know it's not quite
- 1:47Speaker 2: that guy. I'm not quite Rockapella. But anyway, but here
- 1:53Speaker 2: we are getting ready to kick off spring. Lots of
- 1:57Speaker 2: pollen everywhere. I know people are you Now, there's a
- 2:00Speaker 2: couple kinds of people that approach this whole pollen thing
- 2:04Speaker 2: when it comes to the I mean you just see
- 2:06Speaker 2: clouds of it, just wafting clouds of yellow outside, just giant,
- 2:13Speaker 2: just huge clouds of pollen just floating around. Now. I've
- 2:21Speaker 2: talked to a few people that say, oh, man, I
- 2:23Speaker 2: washed the car the other day, I need to wash
- 2:25Speaker 2: it again. And I go, what do you why you
- 2:27Speaker 2: give it a couple of weeks. Let all this, let
- 2:30Speaker 2: this initial you know, in the wave of this take place.
- 2:36Speaker 2: We're gonna get some rain and it's gonna wash first.
- 2:39Speaker 2: That'll wash some of it away, but you got to
- 2:42Speaker 2: get to that point where it's not coming out anymore,
- 2:44Speaker 2: and then then you wash the car. That's my take
- 2:47Speaker 2: on it. But you know, there's different kinds of people.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Some people can't wait. And now I don't wash mine
- 2:53Speaker 2: as much as I should. I acknowledge that. I do
- 2:56Speaker 2: understand that, but I don't think washing it multiple times
- 3:00Speaker 2: during that Now, I did give it a good rent.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Yesterday I did decide it was a little bit much
- 3:05Speaker 2: and gave it a rint. But that's not a proper wash.
- 3:08Speaker 2: A rinse is not a wash, is it. Oh it
- 3:12Speaker 2: is not. Those are two different things. Otherwise people would
- 3:15Speaker 2: just be paying somebody to just hose it off as
- 3:17Speaker 2: you go by. That could be good money if it counted,
- 3:20Speaker 2: if it was the same. All right, let's talk a
- 3:23Speaker 2: little bit about this. You know, the big the word
- 3:27Speaker 2: of the week I think was it related to the
- 3:33Speaker 2: judge that has been trying to step in, intervene and
- 3:38Speaker 2: circumvent the president's ability to deport criminals out of the country.
- 3:45Speaker 2: And impeach has been the word again this week. We've
- 3:48Speaker 2: gone through this a lot of talk about a president
- 3:50Speaker 2: wanted to impeach this judge. The Chief Justice John Roberts said,
- 3:55Speaker 2: not so fast. That's not the way that we do things,
- 4:00Speaker 2: and it's not to be fair. It's not the way
- 4:03Speaker 2: that things have been done. You don't just step in and,
- 4:06Speaker 2: you know, impeach a judge. His specific wording was for
- 4:10Speaker 2: more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment
- 4:13Speaker 2: is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision.
- 4:18Speaker 2: The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose, and
- 4:23Speaker 2: that's ultimately what has to take place. Now. There have
- 4:27Speaker 2: been a few people that have made some suggestions about
- 4:30Speaker 2: ways that maybe this could be avoided. But before we
- 4:37Speaker 2: do that, this is the message that the President posted
- 4:39Speaker 2: on truth social This radical left lunatic of a judge,
- 4:43Speaker 2: a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack
- 4:48Speaker 2: Hussein Obama was not elected president. This judge, like many
- 4:54Speaker 2: of the crooked judges I am forced to appear before,
- 4:57Speaker 2: should be impeached. We don't want vicious, violent, and minted criminals,
- 5:01Speaker 2: many of them deranged murderers in our country. So it
- 5:06Speaker 2: comes down to this, whether we like it or not.
- 5:11Speaker 2: The means of asking these people or deporting these people,
- 5:15Speaker 2: having them leave the country. The way that they've been
- 5:17Speaker 2: leaving not traditionally used for groups of gang members. Typically,
- 5:23Speaker 2: if there's crimes involved and people are deported based on
- 5:27Speaker 2: this criminal statute, there's a process for them being taken
- 5:33Speaker 2: away or asked to leave, or escorted to the county line,
- 5:37Speaker 2: you know, like in those old days. And that's what
- 5:41Speaker 2: this judge, who certainly is doing this for political reasons.
- 5:46Speaker 2: This is not we know the drill. Now we have
- 5:49Speaker 2: all these judges now appointed by folks on the left
- 5:53Speaker 2: with a full like they're activist judges. This isn't something
- 5:58Speaker 2: where someone just has to go. Now, wait a minute,
- 6:01Speaker 2: this doesn't seem legal. This is someone who was put
- 6:04Speaker 2: in place to do this kind of thing. It's something
- 6:07Speaker 2: Democrats have done well, and it's something that Democrats have
- 6:11Speaker 2: done to I think their detriment with the American people.
- 6:15Speaker 2: I think the American people. If we learned anything in November,
- 6:18Speaker 2: we've learned that people are ready for a little bit
- 6:19Speaker 2: of justice. They're ready for a little bit of fairness
- 6:22Speaker 2: in the country. They want when someone commits a crime,
- 6:25Speaker 2: they want them to be punished for it. I know
- 6:28Speaker 2: this isn't true of everyone, but it was enough people
- 6:31Speaker 2: for Trump to win every battleground state and actually win
- 6:35Speaker 2: the popular vote. I mean, that's what I took away
- 6:40Speaker 2: from it. Among other things. I think people were tired of,
- 6:45Speaker 2: you know, DEI. I think they were tired of some
- 6:48Speaker 2: of the gender ideology that's happening in schools. I think
- 6:51Speaker 2: they were tired of school libraries having books encouraging and
- 6:55Speaker 2: teaching people, you know, how to have underage sexual relationships
- 7:02Speaker 2: with the same sex, and the name of well, these
- 7:05Speaker 2: people need to know about this. These kids, boy, they
- 7:08Speaker 2: need to know. No, they don't, not in school, not
- 7:12Speaker 2: in middle school and elementary school. I would are you
- 7:16Speaker 2: not in high school? You might be able to start
- 7:19Speaker 2: to make a case in high school, I would say no.
- 7:22Speaker 2: But I think there are varying levels of how inappropriate
- 7:25Speaker 2: it is in middle school and elementary school. Very inappropriate.
- 7:30Speaker 2: I think it's also very inappropriate in high school. But
- 7:34Speaker 2: I think you can start trying to have that conversation
- 7:36Speaker 2: for some of these books, not the ones that are
- 7:38Speaker 2: being graphic and describing all these very loot acts. I'm
- 7:42Speaker 2: just talking about ones that maybe you're talking about gender ideology.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Maybe you could make a case you're not going to
- 7:49Speaker 2: sell me on it, but maybe you could make that case.
- 7:51Speaker 2: That's all I'm trying to say. So now we have
- 7:55Speaker 2: Florida's Governor Ron de Santis, who has basic come up
- 8:01Speaker 2: with a possible solution for this problem because he said
- 8:06Speaker 2: it was predictable that we would have a judge step
- 8:09Speaker 2: in and do what they did. So this was a
- 8:12Speaker 2: post that he made on X. Congress has the authority
- 8:16Speaker 2: to strip jurisdiction of the federal courts to decide these cases.
- 8:20Speaker 2: In the first place, the sabotaging of President Trump's agenda
- 8:23Speaker 2: by resistance judges was predictable. Why no jurisdiction stripping bills
- 8:29Speaker 2: teed up at the onset of this Congress. Now a
- 8:33Speaker 2: lot of people asking the question, how are you going
- 8:36Speaker 2: to get the votes? Republicans in a position to get
- 8:41Speaker 2: a majority, but they would need sixty to get this
- 8:45Speaker 2: to go through the Senate. So DeSantis's suggestion there is
- 8:50Speaker 2: that you attach it to a must pass bill. That's
- 8:56Speaker 2: the solution that's there. Now, that's the kind of strategies
- 8:59Speaker 2: we've seen many times for many agendas. I am not
- 9:07Speaker 2: a big fan of this, but if it's going to happen,
- 9:12Speaker 2: then it needs to happen. Exactly the way that Governor
- 9:16Speaker 2: DeSantis has laid it out. Personally, I'd like to see
- 9:20Speaker 2: us at a point where every issue is voted on individually,
- 9:23Speaker 2: and then people can't duck it. They can't be told, well,
- 9:26Speaker 2: they're not supporting, you know whatever, they're not supporting soldiers
- 9:31Speaker 2: by not voting for a pay increase for soldiers because
- 9:35Speaker 2: it's packaged in with some sort of Green New Deal
- 9:38Speaker 2: agenda that goes with it. And when people vote against
- 9:42Speaker 2: the Green New Deal thing, and then that's the thing
- 9:44Speaker 2: that's hidden neatly away in there, then they're able to say, well,
- 9:48Speaker 2: they've voted against supporting soldiers and giving them a pay
- 9:51Speaker 2: raise and those sorts of things. I'm against that in general,
- 9:54Speaker 2: but until it goes away, I think Republicans are going
- 9:56Speaker 2: to have to learn how to utilize it now that
- 10:00Speaker 2: they have some control. Hey, another quick thing that's happened,
- 10:04Speaker 2: and this is it's just we're in this stage where
- 10:10Speaker 2: the anti Semitism is really really out there and people
- 10:18Speaker 2: are not even hiding it anymore. It's so interesting to
- 10:22Speaker 2: me that we see this sort of open hate towards
- 10:28Speaker 2: Israel and towards the Jewish people, and yet we find
- 10:33Speaker 2: some people on the left looking for it in individuals
- 10:38Speaker 2: that they just don't like. They say, oh, Trump is
- 10:40Speaker 2: a Nazi and Elon Musk is a Nazi, when they
- 10:43Speaker 2: have plenty of people who are giving them, you know,
- 10:47Speaker 2: clear examples on college campuses, you have people that are
- 10:51Speaker 2: giving you clear examples of the kind of hate that
- 10:55Speaker 2: they're saying that people that they don't like. They don't
- 10:57Speaker 2: want to upset them. They don't want to tip the
- 10:59Speaker 2: apple car art. They don't want in any way to
- 11:05Speaker 2: jeopardize possibly having those people be some sort of weaponized
- 11:09Speaker 2: means of them doing things, whether it's you know, their votes,
- 11:13Speaker 2: whether it's having them go out and be there. I mean,
- 11:18Speaker 2: I call it terrorism when you've got rioting that turns
- 11:21Speaker 2: into violence and you know people that are attacking either
- 11:26Speaker 2: police officers or you know, blocking traffic, any of those things.
- 11:31Speaker 2: If you're doing anything in the name of terror and fear,
- 11:34Speaker 2: isn't that terrorism? But anyway, so this happened because Gal Gadot,
- 11:39Speaker 2: who is the actress who played wonder Woman in the
- 11:44Speaker 2: in the DC movies, any of them that she was
- 11:47Speaker 2: in multiple movies as wonder Woman, not just the two
- 11:50Speaker 2: Wonder Woman movies, also Justice League and Batman v. Superman
- 11:55Speaker 2: and The Dawn of Justice. So she's, by the way,
- 12:02Speaker 2: Israeli and also served in the military, as is the
- 12:07Speaker 2: case there, and she basically had her one of her
- 12:12Speaker 2: moments as a celebrity. And she's got the new snow
- 12:15Speaker 2: White movie coming out this weekend, the controversial snow White movie,
- 12:22Speaker 2: by the way, and for a number of reasons. Don't
- 12:25Speaker 2: let anybody tell you that it's just because the actress
- 12:28Speaker 2: playing snow White is Hispanic. Don't That's not There's more
- 12:34Speaker 2: to it than that they set themselves up for failure
- 12:38Speaker 2: on this movie in so many ways. If audiences go
- 12:42Speaker 2: see it and they like the movie and it does well,
- 12:45Speaker 2: it will do well in spite of all of these
- 12:47Speaker 2: things that they've decided to do to it. Not because
- 12:51Speaker 2: when it fails, and I do think it's not going
- 12:55Speaker 2: to be anywhere near the kind of movie that they
- 12:57Speaker 2: wanted it to be when they first said, hey, let's
- 13:00Speaker 2: do a live action snow White movie. Uh, they're gonna
- 13:03Speaker 2: blame people just resisted. People were they just didn't want
- 13:08Speaker 2: to go see a Hispanic snow White and they because
- 13:11Speaker 2: they're they're already making the excuses. There was a point
- 13:14Speaker 2: where I thought maybe this thing could rebound and people
- 13:16Speaker 2: might just go see it. But this week has been
- 13:20Speaker 2: all about, Hey, people are good, and they just don't
- 13:23Speaker 2: want to go see her because she's not white and
- 13:26Speaker 2: that's not what it is. That is not what it
- 13:29Speaker 2: is at all. They're sure, are there some people? Yes,
- 13:32Speaker 2: there are, there are some people who would there's some
- 13:35Speaker 2: people who wouldn't go see it if they picked a
- 13:37Speaker 2: white snow white and they actually had, you know, little
- 13:41Speaker 2: people playing the dwarfs in the movie instead of not
- 13:44Speaker 2: having little people actors that this is their chance, this
- 13:48Speaker 2: is a big moment for them, an opportunity to be
- 13:51Speaker 2: in this movie. But anyway, uh Galgadot playing the uh
- 13:56Speaker 2: playing the witch? What's the character? I don't remember the
- 13:58Speaker 2: character's name? And snow, what's her name? I don't know.
- 14:02Speaker 2: She's in there though. She's the one with the mirror, right,
- 14:06Speaker 2: the magic mirror. So she basically has obviously supported her homeland,
- 14:11Speaker 2: and she has been outspoken about supporting her homeland, and
- 14:15Speaker 2: she should be. Why wouldn't she be Why would she
- 14:18Speaker 2: say I'm going to oppose that. What would the purpose be?
- 14:23Speaker 2: She's supporting her homeland, a place that she fought for
- 14:27Speaker 2: and of course by standing up four Israel and her people,
- 14:35Speaker 2: she has put herself right in the in the crosshairs
- 14:44Speaker 2: for all of these people, for these protests, and she
- 14:46Speaker 2: had her big moment where they gave her her star
- 14:49Speaker 2: on the Walk of Fame, and she was there for
- 14:53Speaker 2: her big moment that Patty Jenkins, the director of the
- 14:56Speaker 2: Wonder One movies, was there. Vin Diesel was also there,
- 15:00Speaker 2: and people were shouting, you know, pro Palestinian. I don't
- 15:05Speaker 2: know that anything. I didn't see any quotes that specifically
- 15:10Speaker 2: that qualify as you know, directly hateful, other than they
- 15:15Speaker 2: were just pro Palestinian. Now, there may have been things
- 15:19Speaker 2: that got worse. I'm going to be honest. I didn't
- 15:22Speaker 2: really didn't really dive too much into the whole thing.
- 15:26Speaker 2: I can just tell you this. There were people that
- 15:29Speaker 2: were shouting, and they were yelling, and I just assume
- 15:33Speaker 2: that there probably were a handful of people there that
- 15:36Speaker 2: crossed the line, although I didn't see any quotes from it. So,
- 15:41Speaker 2: but Gal Gadott, talking to Variety about a number of things,
- 15:46Speaker 2: she says, I was shocked at the amount of hate,
- 15:48Speaker 2: by the amount of how much people think they know
- 15:52Speaker 2: when they actually have no idea, and also by how
- 15:55Speaker 2: the media is not fair many times, so I had
- 15:58Speaker 2: to speak up. This is about her supporting and being
- 16:01Speaker 2: a pro Israel, and in all of this, it's her homeland.
- 16:08Speaker 2: You know, what is she gonna do? She posted on Instagram.
- 16:10Speaker 2: I stand with Israel. You should too. The world cannot
- 16:14Speaker 2: sit on the fence with these horrific acts of terror
- 16:16Speaker 2: are happening. Yes, that's brave, that's brave.
- 16:22Speaker 1: And she.
- 16:25Speaker 2: Actually that's the kind of thing that somebody who served
- 16:30Speaker 2: proudly for their country, that's something that you would say
- 16:35Speaker 2: you would support your homeland. Why wouldn't you support your homeland.
- 16:38Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense. And people showed up just
- 16:40Speaker 2: to protest while they're trying to say, hey, here's your
- 16:43Speaker 2: star on the Walk of Fame, you're wonder woman. And
- 16:46Speaker 2: people wanted to ruin her day and they wanted to
- 16:48Speaker 2: ruin her moment and it had nothing to do It
- 16:51Speaker 2: had nothing to do with Palestine nothing, It had nothing
- 16:55Speaker 2: to do with it. It had nothing to do with her
- 16:59Speaker 2: day getting her star on the Walk of Fame. But
- 17:03Speaker 2: that's what they want. They just want attention. They want
- 17:06Speaker 2: to get anybody's attention. Any way they can, and good
- 17:09Speaker 2: for the folks that were speaking for just continuing on
- 17:12Speaker 2: with the ceremony. They had to know what was going
- 17:14Speaker 2: to be there. Sadly. Today's show brought to you by
- 17:16Speaker 2: Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and
- 17:21Speaker 2: educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career
- 17:27Speaker 2: holders that really of all ages. I mean they do
- 17:31Speaker 2: it for school age kids as school age kids visit
- 17:34Speaker 2: the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do
- 17:36Speaker 2: it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
- 17:42Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
- 17:47Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
- 17:50Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
- 17:57Speaker 2: also check out some of their upcoming pro They've got

- 18:13Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
- 18:15Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus Georgia.
- 18:19Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
- 18:24Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
- 18:28Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center, and the new season of Music

- 18:42Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
- 18:46Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
- 18:48Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night
- 18:51Speaker 2: events Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As
- 18:55Speaker 2: Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I
- 19:00Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
- 19:04Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
- 19:08Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
- 19:11Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
- 19:17Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
- 19:20Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
- 19:25Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
- 19:28Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
- 19:31Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
- 19:33Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 19:37Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 19:40Speaker 2: to be, and you need some repair work done to
- 19:43Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 19:45Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 19:49Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
- 19:52Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 19:56Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 19:59Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 20:02Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 20:05Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 20:08Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like
- 20:11Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 20:13Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
- 20:16Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 20:17Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 20:20Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 20:23Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 20:26Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
- 20:29Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
- 20:32Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six Thory five eight forty five
- 20:35Speaker 2: hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred
- 20:38Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
- 20:42Speaker 2: after the break. So is it a sign of post
- 20:54Speaker 2: COVID or is there something else going on? But it
- 20:58Speaker 2: seems that people don't really want to go to parties
- 21:03Speaker 2: as much anymore, with a running joke of my favorite
- 21:07Speaker 2: kind of party is the kind that gets canceled. Well,
- 21:11Speaker 2: when people do throw parties, it seems that vibes aren't
- 21:14Speaker 2: typically the same. Guess basically, you know, show up and
- 21:19Speaker 2: sit around on their phones if they show up at all.
- 21:23Speaker 2: And according to nightclubs around the world New York and London,
- 21:28Speaker 2: they're having to shut down. People just aren't going out.
- 21:31Speaker 2: Sales of champagne going down, the party city, the party
- 21:36Speaker 2: planning chain is that what you party planning party supply
- 21:41Speaker 2: store that's probably better going out of business, And basically
- 21:45Speaker 2: the price of a night out is part of it.
- 21:47Speaker 2: Post pandemic people would rather stay in than go out
- 21:51Speaker 2: and socialize, and they say also the increased use of
- 21:55Speaker 2: weight loss drugs like we Go via ozempic curbing appetites
- 21:58Speaker 2: for food and alcohol could also be playing into it.
- 22:01Speaker 2: There's a few things I think going on there. I
- 22:04Speaker 2: think partly the phones, partly post COVID, and I think
- 22:12Speaker 2: that makes sense about those weight loss drugs, throwing that
- 22:14Speaker 2: in the mix. I wouldn't have thought of that immediately,
- 22:16Speaker 2: but that does make a lot of sense. Are adults
- 22:21Speaker 2: only hotels even legal? For some people? Vacation with no
- 22:26Speaker 2: kids running around is a dream, but parents can't just
- 22:30Speaker 2: leave little ones at home. Not good parents anyway. State
- 22:34Speaker 2: officials in California are struggling with the issue. State law
- 22:37Speaker 2: is vague about it, and a number of adults only
- 22:40Speaker 2: resorts existing in California, but courts have ruled against them
- 22:45Speaker 2: when the suits have been filed. Some places have found
- 22:48Speaker 2: loopholes like allowing kids but banning them from the pool area,
- 22:52Speaker 2: or capping occupancy at two people per room. So it's
- 22:57Speaker 2: a strategic way to work around the whole situation. I'm
- 23:02Speaker 2: gonna be honest with you, I don't know. I mean,
- 23:04Speaker 2: if there's other hotel options, then why can't a hotel
- 23:09Speaker 2: just run its business if they want it to be
- 23:11Speaker 2: adults only? Sure, there's some other ways that you could
- 23:14Speaker 2: get away with making it adults only, just by making
- 23:17Speaker 2: sure no one would want the kids to be there.
- 23:20Speaker 2: It would take some creativity. But if you're following my drift,
- 23:23Speaker 2: there there were some creative ways. Maybe you can work
- 23:27Speaker 2: around that. I don't know, but I have been to
- 23:30Speaker 2: some no kids weddings and no photos weddings with rules
- 23:35Speaker 2: put in place, so I think I went to one
- 23:38Speaker 2: that was both of those. As a matter of fact,
- 23:41Speaker 2: all right, the latest gen Z millennial battle on TikTok
- 23:45Speaker 2: is over gym clothes. Apparently consensus seems to be that
- 23:48Speaker 2: millennials like their workout where tight. Gen Z prefers them baggy,
- 23:53Speaker 2: and of course everybody thinks they're right. As a proud
- 23:57Speaker 2: member of gen X, it's whatever clothing that I have
- 24:01Speaker 2: that is probably old, okay for it to be, you know,
- 24:07Speaker 2: stinky after I sweat in it after multiple uses, and
- 24:11Speaker 2: I'll go in just my regular clothes, but they used
- 24:14Speaker 2: to be regular clothes. I guess I'm more practical. I
- 24:18Speaker 2: think that may be a gen X thing. You know,
- 24:20Speaker 2: did I say gen X? I didn't say gen Z.
- 24:22Speaker 2: That a proud member of gen X anyway, all right,
- 24:24Speaker 2: While i'd have released its annual rankings are the most
- 24:26Speaker 2: overweight and obese cities in the US. Their findings were
- 24:29Speaker 2: based on several factors, including percentage of obese adults, percentage
- 24:34Speaker 2: of adults who did not exercise, percentage of adults with
- 24:38Speaker 2: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, percentage of adults with
- 24:42Speaker 2: a low fruit vegetable consumption, percentage of residents who live
- 24:47Speaker 2: close to parks, recreational facilities, and more So, those are
- 24:50Speaker 2: some of the factors that play out in all of this.
- 24:54Speaker 2: And here's what we have found. The most overweight and
- 24:59Speaker 2: obese cities in the US. McAllen, Texas at the top,
- 25:02Speaker 2: Little Rock, Jackson, Mississippi, Mobile Alabama, Knoxville, Shreveport, Louisiana, Augusta, Georgia.
- 25:12Speaker 2: These are all of the South. Lafayette, Louisiana, Fayetteville, Arkansas, Birmingham, Alabama.
- 25:19Speaker 2: I feel threatened that these are all in the South.
- 25:23Speaker 2: And then the other end of I think they were
- 25:25Speaker 2: all in the South. Yeah, other end of the scale.
- 25:28Speaker 2: Cities with the most fit residence Honolulu, Hawaii, Seattle, Denver,
- 25:33Speaker 2: San Francisco, Boston, Minneapolis, San Jose, Colorado Springs, New York City,
- 25:40Speaker 2: and Portland. So this seat there seems to be a
- 25:45Speaker 2: bias of some kind there or just the stats that
- 25:49Speaker 2: they're using to base all this one on. Certainly it
- 25:54Speaker 2: seems to lean a certain direction. Trying to take a
- 25:57Speaker 2: look for where Atlanta in all of this, because I
- 26:02Speaker 2: didn't check ahead of time for Atlanta, but I would yea,
- 26:04Speaker 2: Atlanta's number sixty three, So kind of in the middle,
- 26:08Speaker 2: I guess in all of that. So just wanted to
- 26:10Speaker 2: get some uh some fact or Columbus not ranking on
- 26:13Speaker 2: the list, not ranking in the hot one hundred of
- 26:18Speaker 2: fittest or least fit. I guess all right. That'll do
- 26:22Speaker 2: it for this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks to
