  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the Wes
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carroll Morning Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, 13th day of October. I'm Wes. Thanks for
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: joining me. After a long weekend, a very busy weekend
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: with lots of things that we could talk about today.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: We may touch on a couple of small things today.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I try to do that. I plan to do that.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: And then I end up getting stuck on one thing
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: and talk about it basically the whole time. I don't
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: know how this is going to play out. We'll see.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: But it was a lot going on. First of all,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Hurricane Isaias, I guess the last death toll I saw
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: was four. It was a kind of less of an
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: impact for us in the Chattahoochee Valley area, but very
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: serious stuff where it made landfall a very like a
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: dangerous level three tornado that made its way ashore. When
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: you have a budding meteorologist in the house, you when
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: when stuff like that happens, that's his Super Bowl, right?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: That's his it's Black Friday for him. He is tracking
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: every bit of it, everything that's happening, giving his thoughts
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and reactions on all of it, tracking spaghetti models. He
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: is tracking where he thinks it's going to go. He
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: had it pretty close to where it actually went. But
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: we spent a lot of time hearing Isaias repeated over
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: and over and over again. And it was interesting sort
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: of to track it as the storm came in, you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Friday and then into Saturday, and it was like, how
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: is this thing moving fast if it's not going to
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: have an effect on college football in the southeast? And
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: then it ended up having an impact on NFL games
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: on Sunday up in the northeast. So just interesting the
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: way the thing moved and the way it– basically the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: pacing for it and how long it took. So we
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: had that. We did have some football over the weekend. Listen,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to a couple things that I feel
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: like I need to say in general about football. I've never,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I won't say never, when I was very young, when
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I was in high school maybe, I was a ha-ha,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: my team won, boo-hoo, your team lost kind of person.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I outgrew that in my 20s. It's just dumb. It
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: really is dumb. I mean, if you've got a friend
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: that you can do that with and it's truly not mean-spirited,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: but let's just be honest, there's a lot of obnoxious
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: fans in sports, and it depends on sort of where
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: you live. If you're in the Northeast and it's part
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: of that rivalry of the Red Sox and Yankees, um
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: they're they're obnoxious to each other um and and of
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: course in the southeast you know college football is rules
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the day uh and uh georgia alabama game um i
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: mean that was a it was a heavyweight fight that
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: was two teams uh putting it all on the field
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: um and you know i don't know that the game
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: really went the way people thought it was going to
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: go um but uh for a few reasons. But I
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: just like Bama started the season with people going, they're
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: not going to be able to hang with Georgia. There's
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: no way they could even hang with them. So I
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: think in a lot of ways, that's the moral victory
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: to come out of it for Bama. But just one
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: of my observations, and I'm just going to make this
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: point and I'm, I'm look, I have certainly had games
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: where I've gotten frustrated about officiating and I've said, this
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: was bad. This was not, you know, this was a
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: bad call and it had a direct impact on the
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: outcome of the game. I've witnessed that. I've witnessed that
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: on both sides. I've seen it happen for my team.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I've seen it happen against my team. And it's just painful.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: It's painful when you see one, two, calls that have
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: a direct impact on, you know, a drive in the
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: game that's important or the outcome ultimately of the game
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: or potential, you know, you don't know, you don't know
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: what's going to happen. Um, and I'll just say this and,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: and just, my, my, uh, my grandfather grew up, uh,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: in the, in kind of nearish to Tuscaloosa in that area.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: So this has been a generational thing. Um, and I
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: might grumble about bad calls, you know, when I'm watching it,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: maybe a couple of days and then you move on.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's all you can do. I know sometimes
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: it lingers a lot more than that. And I know
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: not everybody is built that way. Some fans of some
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: teams have a tendency to let those things linger on
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: a lot longer. And I happen to know a lot
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: of people that are Georgia fans that have complained about
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the same seven or eight calls for a decade that's
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: happened over the years. And then immediately flipped to boo-hoo Bama,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: you had a bad call that didn't go your way,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: poor you. And I just would think, based on for me,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: knowing that there's been some calls that have gone Bama's
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: way that shouldn't have over the years, Um, I know
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: how it feels when it goes the other way, when
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: it's like four or five significant calls in a game,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: when you have a, what should have like to me
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: watching it at home and hearing, you know, hearing stories of,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: you know, 80 and 90 year old people watching it
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: like grandmother's going, uh, was that targeting? Like, how did
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: he hit him right in the head and knock him
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: out for two games? Um, those kinds of calls, you
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: just go, I don't know how this gets missed. I mean,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: some of them you go, yeah, like holding calls. There's
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: a lot of those that get missed in every game.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: That's just, that happens. It stinks, but it happens. Um,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: that was a pretty, there were about three pretty flagrant
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: face mask calls that were just missed in the game.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: And you go, I don't know how that happens. A
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: pass interference call having an outcome on the end of
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: the game. I don't, I don't know. I know sometimes
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: officials don't want to make calls at the end of
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: games cause they don't want to have an impact on
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: how the game turns out. Um, But in the end,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: there's obnoxious fans of all fan bases, and the reality
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: here is it's a football game. Sure, it's important. Sure,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: we want our teams to win. But the sooner we
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: can kind of put it behind us and move on
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: and go on to the next thing in life, because
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: we've got more things going on than football. And I
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: know that's not words that my wife would have thought
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I would have ever said in my life until the
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: last few years, but it's the reality. Now I say
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: all of that to say this, and I just, I'll
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: maintain this. Um, and this is the reason I'm bringing
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: it up and it's not anything to do with, you know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: specifically the calls in the game or any of that.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: That's not it. The reason I bring it up is this,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: and I've said this on the show before, and I
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: just feel like it's important to say it. Um, I
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: don't know, like, is it, I go to a church
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: that's like very casual. I mean, it's, there's, you know,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: people that walk around with no shoes on at our church,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: like they're in sandals and then they just go barefoot. Uh,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: you know, that is what it is. It's not my favorite.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I like to wear slides or, you know, like I
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: like to wear comfortable shoes, not, I don't wear them
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: to church. Um, but I'm not opposed to wearing them
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to church, but you know, barefoot is a little bit
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: weird to me, but that's all right. I don't, it
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: doesn't bother me. It's, it is what it is. Um,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: But I just would like to point out the fact
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: that if, and there were people that did this at
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: our church on Sunday, and it's bothered me in every direction.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: When my team wins and I see people doing this,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: it bothers me. It's not really the place to put
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: on your ha-ha and your face, you know, let's see
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: who I can annoy close. That's all. It's just not
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the place for it. Like, and if somebody just sees
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: you and says, you know what, I'm leaving, or whatever,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: You know, it's a weird place to come in flexing.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: That's all. That's all I got to say. I'm not
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: saying that this, you know, you're going to wear a
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: tie or you're going to wear a, you know, you're
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: going to wear like a pin on your coat. Like,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: that's one thing. But you come in, you know, wearing
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: T-shirts and shoes and hats and all that. I was
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: a guy wearing a visor. Like. Can you bring your
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: curvy smart visor to church? It's just weird. It's a
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: bit much. But anyway, that's all. Just things to consider.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: So the big news story for Columbus Day yesterday was
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: this federal raid of Ilhan Omar's home. I know this
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: is going to be one of those ongoing stories for
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: a while. I just want to go back to when
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the Biden administration sent federal agents into Morilago. Let's go
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: back to that for just a minute. Let's just go
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: back to that moment when, for the first time ever,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: a sitting president sent federal agents into the home of
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: not just the previous president, but the person who was
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the likely and eventual nominee for the opposing party for president,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: and then ultimately was reelected to be president again. So
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: this was a big topic of discussion then. It was historic.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: This has not ever happened before. No one had ever
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: weaponized the federal government against a political opponent in And
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: especially not a former president. And it was one of
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: those things where you say it would come up in conversation.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: There'd be debates. Trump would say, you know, lock her
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: up about Hillary. We're going to get her. And this
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: wasn't a former president. It was somebody who thought she
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: was a former president, but she wasn't. But in her
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: time as secretary of state, she did a lot of
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: things that were questionable. A lot of things that you
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: could say, well, they could have gone in. But I
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: do like to think to some degree there was someone
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes saying, we don't do this to a
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: former first lady. We just don't do that. We don't
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: go after them. We don't file charges against them. That's
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: just not what we do. And it's ultimately something that
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: they did not do. They didn't go after her in
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: that way. A lot of words. The words have kind
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: of always been the way that you do it. And
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: even that has kind of changed. It used to be,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: you know, you only go after a first lady if
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: they stick their toe in the water of politics. And
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: if they do that, then you go after them. You
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: leave the kids alone until the kids, you know, poke
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: their head up. And then it's whack-a-mole time, right? You
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: don't do that until the kids kind of get into it.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: And when the kids do, that's when you, otherwise, though,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: you leave them alone. So they went after Trump. And
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: it wasn't just about we're going to, you know, he's
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: got these top secret documents. You know, we want to
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: get them back. It was we want to embarrass him.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: We want to publicly embarrass him. And it was, we
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: know that because it was part of a long string
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: of these are going to be ways that we're going
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: to try to embarrass him. They, while he was president,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: impeached him to embarrass him. I mean, this was verbiage
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: that came from the then Speaker of the House. I mean,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi, that was, you know, it was pretty common knowledge.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: They wanted to embarrass him. They wanted him to be
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: a president who had been impeached. That's what they wanted,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: and him to carry that around with him. Even though
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: they knew they weren't going to be able to get
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: the votes to convict him, they just wanted to punish him.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: They wanted to embarrass him. And then as he was
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: heading out the door... They decided, hey, we're going to
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: do it again, right? We want to do this January 6th.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: We want to impeach him again. And we want to
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: basically try to use all of this talk of insurrection
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: to embarrass him, let him be impeached again, and see
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: if we can't pull some Republicans that we know or
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: deep staters that maybe we can draw them into this
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: and we can find a way to get him and
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: then make sure he can't run again. Maybe get him
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: to a position where we come up with some kind
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: of a plea agreement or deal that we can make
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: where he's not going to run. And then that didn't work.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: But they went after him. And the goal was, let's
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: make sure he can't be on ballots in states again.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: That's what they wanted. So they said, we're going to
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: do this. Now, as all this was happening then, and
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: then they decided, well, now we're going to go after him. And,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: you know, real estate stuff. We're going to go after.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Him and this misdemeanor that we're going to turn it
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: into a felony so we can say he's got all
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: these felony counts against him. Because ultimately it was a
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: bookkeeping thing. Something that's a misdemeanor. It's always been a misdemeanor.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: It was a misdemeanor when Barack Obama did it. And
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: paid a fine and moved on. It was a misdemeanor
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: when Hillary Clinton did it. And it was a misdemeanor.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: And you pay a fine and you move on. And
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: that's what it would have been for Donald Trump. Except
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: it was beyond the statute of limitations. And they wanted
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: it to be a felony. And they said, well, that's
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: the only way that we can do this is we
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: find a way to make a felony. So they went
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: after him. They went after him in every possible way
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: that they could. anything that they could do to try
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: to make it stick. And they said, aha, he is
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: a convicted felon. Surely he can't be on the ballots.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: And then he was allowed to be on the ballots.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: And then he won, as they said, surely people aren't
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: going to vote for a convicted felon. And back then
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: I said, this is the danger that we're running into.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: This is the problem that we're running into, is now
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: that this has been opened, now we can get into
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: a situation where what used to be considered, Hey, a
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: little professional courtesy. We're going to leave you alone. Like
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: you've opened the can, you've opened it up. And now
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: here's this potential for, are we going to go? Would,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: would Ilhan Omar have had her house raided had all
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: this stuff not happened? I don't know. It's different. It
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: is different. But this screaming and yelling of, well, this
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: is– they're just coming after a political opponent. That's what
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: they're doing. They're going after– you can't weaponize. Who can't weaponize?
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: It's different when the shoe's on the other foot, right?
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: I saw where someone yesterday said it's different when your
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny has the gun now. Like
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: it's just changed a little bit, hasn't it? And that's
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: kind of how this has played out. It's like, oh,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: you can't weaponize the Justice Department against a political opponent.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: After all of those years of Democrats weaponizing the Justice
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Department against Trump. And now questions come up. about this investigation.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I know this has been questions about paperwork when she
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: was a kid and paperwork filled out by her parents
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: or her dad or whoever. They'll get to the bottom
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: of whatever this is. Interesting timing. Is this the October
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: surprise before the midterms? I don't know. I don't know
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: what all of this means for the midterms. But I
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: do think that had we not gone through all of
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: that with Trump, I don't know where this would stand.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know what would have happened with all of this. Now,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: it's not unheard of for, you know, a sitting member
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: of Congress to be investigated. It's not. And a federal
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: judge had to sign off on this. And federal judges
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: have gotten in the way or involved a lot in politics.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. Where this goes, this is going to
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: be a fluid story for a bit, but yesterday's breaking
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: news of all of this doesn't surprise me because I
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: think we knew, I think we've known for a little

  Speaker 2: incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School of
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Music from Columbus State University called Music Under the Dome.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia?
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: right here in Columbus and Inside the planetarium at the
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Coca-Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music

• 19:21
  Speaker 2: up where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: at the Coca-Cola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: somewhere outside the city lights, you don't want any light interference,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming astronomy night
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: events also on their website, it's ccssc.org. As Sean Cruzan says, charliecharliesamsamcharlie.org.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I just remind you that it stands for Coca-Cola Space
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Science Center, ccssc.org. Today, show brought to you by Overhead
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: commercial or residential, maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus have a lot of
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: can take care of squaring that away for you. And
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: while they're there, you can always ask them questions about
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: what you want it to be and you need some
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: some sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor, you know,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cave that
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: you'd like to be able to open the door up
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: and not invite all the insects in. They can do
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: that for you as well. And again, they do after
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: won't open and you need somebody to come help. And
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com. More West
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Carroll Morning Show right after the break. Well, if your
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: dog sleeps in your bed, there's some good news. They
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: may not quite be the sleep thief that you thought
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: they were. A new study tracked 25 people and 38
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: dogs over a four week period and found that dogs
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: sharing a bed with you did not significantly affect sleep
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: quality or how long people slept. In fact, researchers discovered
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: that humans were often the ones waking up and disturbing
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: their dogs, not the other way around. A study found
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: that people and their pups tend to sync up in
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: their nighttime movements, but owners usually start moving first, and
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: while some dog owners felt like their pets were disrupting
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: their rest, the activity trackers didn't back that up. So
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: go ahead and Let your dog curl up with you.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Science says they may be the more considerate sleeper. A
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: couple of things. Um, we used to, uh, we we've
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: had two, uh, two dogs, two Jack Russells, um, in
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: our time together. Um, our first dog slept in the
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: bed with us. That wasn't the original plan, but it
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: ended up happening. Um, and usually kind of right in
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: the middle. And then in wintertime, like cold months, he
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: would kind of make his way down near my legs,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: kind of to my feet, which I enjoyed that a lot.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: But I roll around a lot. So I think I
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: was probably disturbing him certainly more than he was disturbing me.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Our current dog started as sleeping in the bed with us.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: And then he has since graduated to a little side bed.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: It's on the floor. He's just got a little bed
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: on the floor. It sounds like he's got a special
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: bed as high as ours.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: No.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: It's hard for him to jump from our bed to
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: the floor, and we can't get him to use a
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: ramp or anything. And we had a situation with our
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: first dog where jumping off the bed caused him some problems,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: so we just didn't want that. So we made a
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: decision that we were going to do that. But I
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: would just make this observation about this study. I don't
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: think it's the humans that are, you know, licking their
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: feet and going, well, they're trying to fall asleep. I'm
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: pretty sure it's them that's doing that. That's just my
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: gut on that. I appreciate the study that was done, but,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: you know, and they're the ones that, you know, dig
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: all the rocks and sticks and things out of the
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: way before they lie down and anytime they move and
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: all that fun stuff. So money fights aren't always about money.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Couples therapists say that many relationship arguments actually stem from
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: money scripts, that unconscious belief about spending and saving that
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: we learned from our parents. Some people are just wired
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: to save every penny while others believe money is meant
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: to be enjoyed. Others tie their self-worth to their income
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: or think having more money will help solve their problems.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Trouble starts when two people have very different money scripts
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: end up together. According to therapist and matchmaker Christine Anthes,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: those disagreements over purchases, budgets, and bills are often really
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: about trust, security, and feeling valued, not the money itself.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: So the advice there, is figure out your own money
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: script before it starts writing the story of your relationship.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: This is an interesting thing here. And when you do
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: have someone who sees money the same way that you do,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: I think it does make things a lot easier. Just
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: that every now and then moment where you think, well,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: we need to upgrade this or we need to buy
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: that or we need a bigger house or we need
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: another car, whatever it is, you have that conversation and
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: that's when things change. It also, and you think about
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: when they say what you learn from your parents, being
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: at the stage of Gen X that my wife and
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: I are in, we were, you know, we, our parents
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: are very much boomers. They're very much at an age
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: of people who, you know, they were raised by parents
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: who really went through some stuff. So I think this
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: whole idea of always feeling like maybe there's not enough
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: money around, that does sort of roll downhill, but sometimes
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: you look at it and you go, I don't want
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: to quite be like that, but I also want to
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: make sure that I'm not wasteful. And I think all
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: that stuff kind of falls into that. With college costs
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: climbing and AI raising questions about future careers, a lot
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: of Gen Zers wondering whether a four-year degree is still
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: worth the investment. In fact, the percentage of high school
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: graduates heading straight to college has dropped now from nearly
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: 70% a decade ago to about 60% today. And while
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: younger Americans are increasingly skeptical of higher education, older generations, though,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: are heading back to school in record numbers. More than
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: 40 million Americans have some college credits but never finished
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: a degree, and over 1 million former students re-enrolled during
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: the 2023-2024 academic year. And that's the highest number ever
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: recorded by the National Student Clearinghouse. So while Gen Z
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: is debating whether to enroll, many older Americans are deciding
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: it's finally time to finish up what they started. Good
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: for them. That'll do it for this Tuesday edition of
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you
• 27:13
