Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Thursday morning, twenty second day of May. I'm Wes, thanks
- 0:14Speaker 2: for joining me. We are plowing through the month of May. Man,
- 0:19Speaker 2: you know, a week away from June pretty much close,
- 0:23Speaker 2: not quite, but close. A little over a week from June.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Then we'll be knocking on the door of July and
- 0:31Speaker 2: halfway through the year. And go ahead, put up the
- 0:33Speaker 2: Christmas decorations. Go ahead, just go ahead and do it.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Why not? What are you waiting on? Just get them up,
- 0:42Speaker 2: get them, get things decorated. Let's just get on into
- 0:45Speaker 2: the season. Some people still have up their Christmas trees.
- 0:48Speaker 2: I know someone who still has a tree up. And
- 0:51Speaker 2: that's fine. Whatever you want to do, man, You know,
- 0:53Speaker 2: I'm an advocate for letting people live their lives whatever
- 0:56Speaker 2: they want to do. Change your name, change your whatever
- 1:00Speaker 2: it is that you need to do for you to
- 1:03Speaker 2: get through this life, this world, this life that it is.
- 1:06Speaker 2: You do what you gotta do. You live your life.
- 1:09Speaker 2: You be the best you that you can be. That's
- 1:12Speaker 2: my view on this as an American. You do you
- 1:16Speaker 2: just don't ask other people to participate. You want to
- 1:19Speaker 2: have your Christmas tree up, now, that's fine, have it up,
- 1:22Speaker 2: just don't make me put mine up. It's a bit
- 1:25Speaker 2: of a stretch on the analogy, but it's you know,
- 1:29Speaker 2: it's kind of true, I guess to some degree. In
- 1:32Speaker 2: some way, I don't know. Marco Rubio has been the
- 1:37Speaker 2: Secretary of State's been sitting on these hearings and asking
- 1:42Speaker 2: him questions about you know, international affairs, about the Middle East.
- 1:49Speaker 2: He's looking presidential. He's looking good, I think, so that's
- 1:53Speaker 2: my opinion. I don't know that he's going to be
- 1:56Speaker 2: the next guy, but he's kind of in that on
- 1:59Speaker 2: deck circle. I guess President Trump is the one who
- 2:04Speaker 2: threw his name up when he said who might be
- 2:06Speaker 2: next when they were trying to get him to say
- 2:09Speaker 2: and I don't know what he was thinking when he
- 2:11Speaker 2: was talking about having a third term or whatever. He
- 2:14Speaker 2: was trying to talk about all the different ways maybe
- 2:16Speaker 2: he could have a third term, but they keep pushing
- 2:19Speaker 2: him on it, and it kind of seems like he's
- 2:21Speaker 2: just messing with him. But he finally just said, hey,
- 2:25Speaker 2: Rubio would be great, you know, vance would have to
- 2:27Speaker 2: be would be great, and have to be thinking about
- 2:29Speaker 2: Vance or Rubio. They both, and I think that's true.
- 2:33Speaker 2: You know, I got nothing against Vance, but you know,
- 2:35Speaker 2: Rubio has kind of been on the scene a little longer,
- 2:39Speaker 2: had the unanimous support to be Secretary of State in
- 2:43Speaker 2: the Senate, and that's great. Yeah, some of them saying
- 2:46Speaker 2: they regret voting for him now though they just they
- 2:49Speaker 2: have issues with him. But he looks good. I think
- 2:52Speaker 2: he looks he's not being bullied and pushed around. They're
- 2:56Speaker 2: trying to. They're trying to push him around and force him,
- 3:01Speaker 2: like you need to answer our questions yes or no,
- 3:03Speaker 2: and he's like, I'm not doing that. This is not
- 3:05Speaker 2: a game show, which I thought that was a great answer.
- 3:08Speaker 2: So you can't answer yes or no. No, they're complex questions.
- 3:13Speaker 2: So you can't say that we're gonna have this treaty
- 3:15Speaker 2: or that treaty or this or I can't answer that
- 3:18Speaker 2: that way. All right, Well we'll let the record show
- 3:20Speaker 2: you refuse to answer it. Now, I'm trying to answer it.
- 3:23Speaker 2: You just won't let me. No filibustering, that's what they
- 3:27Speaker 2: threw at him. Anyway, I think he's like he's standing
- 3:31Speaker 2: up to the pressure. I think this Secretary of State
- 3:34Speaker 2: gig for Rubio has been great. I think it's this
- 3:37Speaker 2: is definitely, you know, a nice addition to the resume,
- 3:43Speaker 2: and I think he's looked good sitting in there taking
- 3:46Speaker 2: these questions, just being grilled on these things. He's been busy.
- 3:51Speaker 2: You got a president like Trump that is obviously going
- 3:56Speaker 2: to take up the oxygen. That was the thing during
- 3:58Speaker 2: the UH the primaries for the Republican nomination, and that
- 4:04Speaker 2: was the term everybody used, and it was a great
- 4:07Speaker 2: analogy for it. Because he takes up the oxygen in
- 4:10Speaker 2: the room, nobody else really has a chance to to.
- 4:15Speaker 2: You know, the fire can't burn anywhere else. And you know,
- 4:18Speaker 2: it kind of also works the same way here where
- 4:21Speaker 2: he's kind of a defense shield. He's a bit of
- 4:24Speaker 2: a gold dome, if you will, for all the people
- 4:27Speaker 2: underneath them, or most of the people, not everybody. I mean,
- 4:30Speaker 2: we went through the whole thing with you know, some
- 4:33Speaker 2: of the non elected, some of the appointed people like
- 4:39Speaker 2: Elon Musk. You know, those people took some shots. But
- 4:43Speaker 2: people like Rubio, you know, he's and I mean he's
- 4:45Speaker 2: he's taking the shots now. But he's been able to
- 4:49Speaker 2: just be busy traveling the world meeting with world leaders,
- 4:51Speaker 2: doing his job. That's great, that's what he should be doing.
- 4:56Speaker 2: If only he had First Lady also as on his resume,
- 5:00Speaker 2: that would really solidify him as a presidential candidate. I mean,
- 5:03Speaker 2: the Secretary of State is that's good, but First Lady
- 5:07Speaker 2: would would make it better. I think. Anyway, all right,
- 5:12Speaker 2: let's I want to talk about something we've been talking
- 5:14Speaker 2: about this week. We've been talking about the prostate cancer
- 5:17Speaker 2: diagnosis for Joe Biden, former president, with the stage four
- 5:26Speaker 2: prostate cancer diagnosis with a nine score, which is not good.
- 5:32Speaker 2: That's not where you want to be. And obviously a
- 5:35Speaker 2: fight ahead of him, obviously a fight for him, for
- 5:38Speaker 2: his family, a struggle there. They have a history, a
- 5:42Speaker 2: famous history of cancer with his son Bo Biden, who
- 5:48Speaker 2: died in his forties of brain cancer. So what's interesting
- 5:55Speaker 2: about the timing. What's really interesting about the timing of
- 5:59Speaker 2: this announcement is the fact that forty six. I was
- 6:06Speaker 2: trying to know exactly how he was twenty fifteen, he
- 6:08Speaker 2: was forty six. What's really interesting about this timing of
- 6:13Speaker 2: this announcement is the fact that this book has come out,
- 6:19Speaker 2: written by one of the guys from Axios and one
- 6:24Speaker 2: of the guys from CNN, Alex Thompson from Axios, Jake
- 6:28Speaker 2: Tapper of CNN. They wrote this book talking about the
- 6:35Speaker 2: former president's mental acuity and decline. The book is called
- 6:41Speaker 2: Original Sin, President Biden's Decline, its cover up, and his
- 6:45Speaker 2: disastrous choice to run again. What's fascinating about this to
- 6:51Speaker 2: me is there's a number of specific instances of Jake
- 6:58Speaker 2: Tapper being involved in the cover up. Like there's actual
- 7:02Speaker 2: video of him talking with guests and not letting them
- 7:07Speaker 2: talk about the fact that there was cognition problems with
- 7:12Speaker 2: Joe Biden while he was in the White House, questions
- 7:14Speaker 2: about who was running the country, questions about who was
- 7:17Speaker 2: capable of doing the job, all those sorts of things,
- 7:19Speaker 2: and Jake Tapper wouldn't allow that on the show. He
- 7:22Speaker 2: would cut people off for that. I think famously one
- 7:25Speaker 2: of Laura Trump was one of the people he cut off.
- 7:28Speaker 2: I think he apologized to her later. So I think
- 7:33Speaker 2: it's fascinating Jake Tapper can write a book shining the
- 7:40Speaker 2: light on this cover up. It feels a little tell
- 7:46Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong. Does it feel a little bit like,
- 7:49Speaker 2: you know, Tony Fauci telling us about how to take
- 7:53Speaker 2: care of ourselves during COVID Does it feel a little
- 7:57Speaker 2: bit like, let me tell you about COVID? Oh yeah,
- 8:00Speaker 2: you're the infectious disease guy. Maybe you're even kind of
- 8:04Speaker 2: an expert on this specific strand for some weird reason.
- 8:08Speaker 2: It's like you know a lot about it for some reason,
- 8:13Speaker 2: And then people would ask is it because no, no, no,
- 8:15Speaker 2: no that's not because it's not why I don't have
- 8:18Speaker 2: any inside information on this thing. I haven't been sending
- 8:22Speaker 2: emails to people where all of this stuff started. I
- 8:26Speaker 2: haven't been doing that. I haven't been sending emails and
- 8:32Speaker 2: probably audibly going gulp as I was sending them. Probably not.
- 8:37Speaker 2: This is weird, just weird that you got a guy
- 8:39Speaker 2: who's like the guy he's gonna make sure that we
- 8:41Speaker 2: don't all get sick and die, and you know, as
- 8:46Speaker 2: a little behind the scenes like he's got that backstage
- 8:49Speaker 2: pass at the birth of this thing. It's it's kind
- 8:53Speaker 2: of a weird coincidence, right anyway, So here we go.
- 8:56Speaker 2: We got Jake Tapper CNN writing a book about you know,
- 9:05Speaker 2: the cognitive decline, the cover up, and then Biden's disastrous
- 9:13Speaker 2: choice to run again. It's interesting that they put that word.
- 9:18Speaker 2: It's an interesting choice to call it, a disastrous choice
- 9:21Speaker 2: as someone who's calling themselves a journalist, because right there,
- 9:25Speaker 2: that word tells you where their loyalties are. Are they
- 9:29Speaker 2: really a journalist, are they really you know, trying to
- 9:33Speaker 2: be impartial? Are they opinion? There's a difference. I don't
- 9:38Speaker 2: think we get enough attention to that that there's a difference.
- 9:42Speaker 2: You watch Fox and Friends in the morning, you watch
- 9:45Speaker 2: Morning Joe, you watch you know, Sean Hannity just throwing
- 9:53Speaker 2: some names out. You watch a show like The Five.
- 9:57Speaker 2: I would say some of those other channels, but I
- 10:00Speaker 2: don't even know the other people know what's even still
- 10:02Speaker 2: on those channels. You watch Jake Tapper show, you watch
- 10:05Speaker 2: an opinion based show, and you get opinion. If you're
- 10:08Speaker 2: watching somebody who's somebody who claims to be a journalist
- 10:12Speaker 2: and that's just going to read you the news, that's different.
- 10:15Speaker 2: This is a different thing. We have all these news
- 10:18Speaker 2: channels that are really opinion channels. But anyway, that's another conversation,
- 10:22Speaker 2: another topic. So Jake Tapper, who is part of the
- 10:27Speaker 2: cover up, Let's be honest, if he's not letting people
- 10:29Speaker 2: ask the questions how do you know how people ask
- 10:32Speaker 2: the questions? Because we went through this with COVID with
- 10:39Speaker 2: Fuci when people would ask questions and he would say,
- 10:41Speaker 2: you can't question me. That's questioning science. If you question me,
- 10:46Speaker 2: I am science. I mean that's the only translation for that.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Isn't it?
- 10:52Speaker 1: So?
- 10:54Speaker 2: Not being able to ask questions? And this happened during
- 10:57Speaker 2: Jake Tapper Show. You can't ask questions about Biden to
- 11:00Speaker 2: climb well another thing that came up in the book,
- 11:03Speaker 2: as we learn, yes, former president aggressive prostate cancer one
- 11:08Speaker 2: of the things that's addressed in the book. And it's
- 11:10Speaker 2: just so weird the timing of this. I'm not one
- 11:14Speaker 2: of those all in conspiracy guys, right. I appreciate when
- 11:18Speaker 2: there's like a bunch of weird coincidences that kind of happen,
- 11:22Speaker 2: all that stuff with Lincoln and Kennedy and the you know,
- 11:26Speaker 2: Ford Theater and the Ford Lincoln and all that stuff.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Like those kind of things to me, like those are fun.
- 11:32Speaker 2: But I'm not one of those people who's like, oh, wow,
- 11:34Speaker 2: there's some sort of you know, cult that's put a
- 11:39Speaker 2: curse on those two guys or whatever. I don't I'm
- 11:41Speaker 2: not into the you know, Tom Hanks eats Baby's thing.
- 11:46Speaker 2: I learned a new one recently. By the way, there's
- 11:48Speaker 2: another thing in this QAnon stuff I didn't know about,
- 11:51Speaker 2: and it's something to do with pandas, and they say
- 11:54Speaker 2: that pandas and raccoons or code for I'm a child molester,
- 12:01Speaker 2: because they say that when children are molested, their eyes
- 12:06Speaker 2: get black like pandas and raccoons. I learned that one.
- 12:09Speaker 2: I didn't even know that was a thing. I was
- 12:11Speaker 2: watching a clip of Goldie Hawn was talking about how
- 12:15Speaker 2: she thinks that actors and actresses and any kind of
- 12:19Speaker 2: celebrity that starts invoking politics is doing a disservice to
- 12:24Speaker 2: their career and their projects, because you know, you should
- 12:27Speaker 2: be trying to, you know, not eliminate part of your
- 12:31Speaker 2: audience by getting political. Which I thought that sounds like
- 12:35Speaker 2: a great message, and I'm paraphrasing it. That was my
- 12:38Speaker 2: takeaway from her message. She may have said it a
- 12:39Speaker 2: little differently, and there may have been more to it,
- 12:41Speaker 2: but I was more distracted by the fact that there
- 12:44Speaker 2: was a giant panda head picture on the wall like
- 12:48Speaker 2: a piece of artwork, and all of the comments were, oh,
- 12:52Speaker 2: she's got a panda you know what that means, she
- 12:56Speaker 2: must be an advocate for Eh, we've lost it. But anyway,
- 13:03Speaker 2: I'm not a conspiracy person, That's what I'm saying. I
- 13:06Speaker 2: think it's weird when there's coincidences. Now, could there be
- 13:09Speaker 2: a conspiracy? And have we seen a lot of these
- 13:11Speaker 2: conspiracy theories play out and be true lately? Yes, we
- 13:14Speaker 2: have COVID being one of them, and people's connections to
- 13:22Speaker 2: the origin. Right, there were a lot of stuff that
- 13:25Speaker 2: came up about January sixth, a lot of questions, a
- 13:27Speaker 2: lot of I think it's weird that this book comes out.
- 13:33Speaker 2: And one of the things addressed in the book is
- 13:35Speaker 2: the Biden family's ability to hide an illness like cancer
- 13:42Speaker 2: for the purposes of politics. Yeah. So basically bo Biden
- 13:47Speaker 2: found out after he I guess he collapsed at a
- 13:53Speaker 2: family trip of some kind and then they wanted to
- 13:57Speaker 2: remove a brain tumor and they kept it quiet. And
- 14:05Speaker 2: it's one of those things where it's like he was
- 14:07Speaker 2: an elected official. I mean, he was an elected official
- 14:15Speaker 2: and they were keeping this a secret. And in the
- 14:20Speaker 2: book it says publicly acknowledging his illness would make it
- 14:25Speaker 2: a reality. It was them against the world. And that
- 14:29Speaker 2: was what they say is the attitude for the Biden family.
- 14:35Speaker 2: That's why they wouldn't let people know. And I think
- 14:38Speaker 2: the book is kind of addressing the fact that this
- 14:43Speaker 2: is coming from the perspective of, you know, the mental
- 14:48Speaker 2: problems for Joe Biden. The book says Bo's cancer treatment,
- 14:55Speaker 2: also demonstrating the Biden's capacity for denial and the links
- 14:58Speaker 2: they would go to avoid transparent arancy about health issues,
- 15:02Speaker 2: even when the person in question is elected official, in
- 15:05Speaker 2: this case, the sitting Attorney General of Delaware. It also
- 15:11Speaker 2: says in September Biden Both's team initially debated how much
- 15:14Speaker 2: to disclose about Bo, the Vice President's son in state's
- 15:17Speaker 2: top law enforcement officer, but ultimately said nothing. And November
- 15:23Speaker 2: Bo had a total local reporter. He had been given
- 15:26Speaker 2: a clean bill of health. So this is about covering
- 15:30Speaker 2: up that cancer diagnosis ten years ago, twelve years ago, whatever.
- 15:36Speaker 2: He died in twenty fifteen. So certainly the capacity to
- 15:41Speaker 2: think it's none of your business, we don't have to
- 15:43Speaker 2: tell you, even if it's an elected official, even if
- 15:47Speaker 2: it's somebody that we probably should tell you, we definitely
- 15:50Speaker 2: should tell you. So realizing that they're capable of it,
- 15:56Speaker 2: and to think that that means they certainly would be
- 15:59Speaker 2: capable of knowing that he did not have the mental
- 16:02Speaker 2: capacity to be serving as president, and he certainly didn't
- 16:06Speaker 2: have it to serve a second term as president. It
- 16:09Speaker 2: would also suggest that maybe, just maybe, if they did
- 16:12Speaker 2: in fact know about the prostate cancer, they would at
- 16:14Speaker 2: least be capable of not telling the American people and
- 16:20Speaker 2: letting that be something that if people had re elected him,
- 16:23Speaker 2: had he not you know, done such a bad job
- 16:25Speaker 2: at the debate and exposed the other problem that maybe
- 16:30Speaker 2: had he won and been you know, in a second term,
- 16:34Speaker 2: maybe strategically again after two years, we're gonna drop this
- 16:39Speaker 2: bomb on you. Now it's relevant now we can tell
- 16:42Speaker 2: you because we get you know, the ten year capacity
- 16:49Speaker 2: for Harris to you know, become president and then possibly
- 16:53Speaker 2: still serve two more terms after that, So you get
- 16:56Speaker 2: two years in then they might be able to do that.
- 17:00Speaker 2: So it's interesting. It's a book from Jake Tapper telling
- 17:03Speaker 2: us they're capable. According to the book, this is from
- 17:08Speaker 2: Jake Tapper and that dude from Axios, Alex Thompson. They
- 17:15Speaker 2: scroll back to his name. So yeah, they've written a
- 17:18Speaker 2: book telling us at least a Biden family was capable
- 17:20Speaker 2: of it. So we just have to keep that in
- 17:23Speaker 2: mind as we move forward, and this story continues to
- 17:26Speaker 2: be a story Today's show brought to you by Columbus
- 17:29Speaker 2: State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center. Where as we
- 17:34Speaker 2: inch our way a little bit closer into those summer months,
- 17:37Speaker 2: you're going to start looking ahead for things for your
- 17:40Speaker 2: family to do, your kids to do, to keep them engage,
- 17:44Speaker 2: keep their minds in a school type mode, but while
- 17:48Speaker 2: also having fun, and they can do that at Columbus
- 17:52Speaker 2: State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center, and you can
- 17:56Speaker 2: start planning those family activities. Now you're going to get
- 17:59Speaker 2: into the summer months. Maybe this year you got a
- 18:03Speaker 2: staycation that's going to be happening and you're not going
- 18:06Speaker 2: to be traveling. Maybe you've got family coming into the
- 18:09Speaker 2: area from other places and you want to find some
- 18:13Speaker 2: things for them to do well. This is one of
- 18:15Speaker 2: those things to do. And as we get into those
- 18:18Speaker 2: warmer months. Of course, air conditioning is included in the
- 18:22Speaker 2: cost of admission at Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space
- 18:26Speaker 2: Science Center, with artifacts for you to check out of course,
- 18:30Speaker 2: plenty of hands on activities, a lot of fun stuff
- 18:33Speaker 2: just waiting for you there. But actual NASA artifacts, parts
- 18:38Speaker 2: of actual spacecraft that have been to space or at
- 18:42Speaker 2: least close to space, that have been part of launching
- 18:45Speaker 2: things into space, and you can check all of that
- 18:47Speaker 2: out at Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Check out some of the activities and events that are
- 18:54Speaker 2: coming up by going to the events page on their website.
- 18:58Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org dot org. Coca Cola Space Science Center
- 19:04Speaker 2: is what that stands for CCSSC dot org. Today's show
- 19:09Speaker 2: brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for
- 19:12Speaker 2: all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe
- 19:17Speaker 2: you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always
- 19:21Speaker 2: good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that
- 19:24Speaker 2: move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company
- 19:28Speaker 2: of Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you,
- 19:31Speaker 2: and while they're there, you can always ask them questions
- 19:34Speaker 2: about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to
- 19:36Speaker 2: make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't
- 19:40Speaker 2: quite what you want it to be and you need
- 19:42Speaker 2: some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you
- 19:45Speaker 2: need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making
- 19:49Speaker 2: a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe
- 19:52Speaker 2: it's some sort of installation issue that you've got. With
- 19:55Speaker 2: colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and
- 19:58Speaker 2: it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd
- 20:02Speaker 2: like to add a screen door to your garage door
- 20:04Speaker 2: system that you can put down and you can use
- 20:07Speaker 2: your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
- 20:11Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
- 20:13Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 20:16Speaker 2: man caved you'd like to be able to open the
- 20:17Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
- 20:20Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
- 20:22Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
- 20:25Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your

- 20:42Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show. Right after the break, there's a new
- 20:53Speaker 2: survey that says most people think it is perfectly fine
- 20:57Speaker 2: to use a coupon on a first date. Fifty six
- 21:01Speaker 2: percent of Americans say using a coupon on the first
- 21:03Speaker 2: date is no problem. In fact, sixty one percent say
- 21:07Speaker 2: someone who is frugal is attractive, twenty eight percent called
- 21:12Speaker 2: downright sexy if they use a coupon, and sixty percent
- 21:18Speaker 2: of singles say that they're likely to date someone who's
- 21:20Speaker 2: budget conscious, six to fifty five percent saying that a
- 21:23Speaker 2: partner's financial savvy has become more important to them over
- 21:28Speaker 2: the last few years. Interesting, there was a time where
- 21:32Speaker 2: you didn't dare pull out a coupon. No no, no no,
- 21:37Speaker 2: And it also was considered tacky. If you're on a
- 21:40Speaker 2: first date and they want to add cheese to the
- 21:43Speaker 2: whopper and you say, I know, we're not adding the cheese.
- 21:46Speaker 2: People thought that was tacky. So it's nice to know
- 21:50Speaker 2: that you can be frugal. So if you're on that
- 21:52Speaker 2: first date and they order the whopper and they say
- 21:55Speaker 2: I want to put cheese on it, and then you say, no,
- 22:00Speaker 2: I don't know about the cheese. We're not doing that,
- 22:04Speaker 2: they might consider you sexy, downright sexy. At least according
- 22:07Speaker 2: to this survey. Speaking of coupons, what was once a
- 22:12Speaker 2: hobby now becoming a financial need. A new survey found
- 22:16Speaker 2: forty percent of couponers, couponners, couponers say they rely on
- 22:23Speaker 2: it's in my head now they say they're coupons, they're coupons,
- 22:28Speaker 2: how do you say it? Using them to afford basic necessities,
- 22:33Speaker 2: items they simply could not buy otherwise. Seventy percent say
- 22:37Speaker 2: they now coupon out of need, not just for the
- 22:42Speaker 2: thrill of getting a deal. People used to do it.
- 22:44Speaker 2: It was a big deal using those coupons, and it
- 22:47Speaker 2: was like, oh my gosh, I go to the store.
- 22:49Speaker 2: I've got one. I'm gonna buy thirty seven sticks of deodorant,
- 22:53Speaker 2: and then they're going to give me a dollar to
- 22:55Speaker 2: take them. I have friends that would do that. I
- 22:57Speaker 2: don't know if they still do it, but they were
- 22:59Speaker 2: doing it then, and they go, oh my gosh, they're
- 23:01Speaker 2: paying me to take this stuff home. I've got all
- 23:03Speaker 2: of these and then I've got this one that says
- 23:05Speaker 2: I get a dollar back and I get thirty seven
- 23:08Speaker 2: sticks of deodorant. And I remember asking, is that the
- 23:10Speaker 2: deodorant that you prefer no, but that's what we're gonna
- 23:13Speaker 2: use for a while. We got thirty thirty seven sticks
- 23:17Speaker 2: of it, so I mean it's obviously a good skill
- 23:21Speaker 2: to have good rollover skill from back when it was
- 23:24Speaker 2: just a fun hobby, because you know people are using
- 23:27Speaker 2: it right now. We're still in recovery mode, all right.
- 23:32Speaker 2: We all spend too much time on our phones. We
- 23:35Speaker 2: know that. Everybody knows that. But if you ever thought
- 23:38Speaker 2: about the amount of time you spend looking down at
- 23:40Speaker 2: the screen and what it might be doing to your neck,
- 23:45Speaker 2: you might now. A twenty five year old man in
- 23:47Speaker 2: Japan has developed a rare condition known as dropped head syndrome,
- 23:51Speaker 2: and his doctors say that the phone is the reason.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Then admitts to spending hours each day hunched over his phone.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Over time, he developed a noticeable bulge at the back
- 24:03Speaker 2: of his neck eventually lost the ability to lift his
- 24:06Speaker 2: head up on his own. Doctors say the condition is
- 24:09Speaker 2: typically seen in much older people, but prolonged phone use
- 24:14Speaker 2: could cause it in any age group. The man is
- 24:18Speaker 2: undergoing physical therapy to build back the neck muscles so
- 24:22Speaker 2: that one day he'll be able to lift his head
- 24:24Speaker 2: without needing any assistance. A couple things just to add
- 24:29Speaker 2: on this. There are exercises that you can do. You
- 24:31Speaker 2: can look them up. Exercises that helps strengthen your neck. Obviously,
- 24:36Speaker 2: putting the phone down every now and then would be nice.
- 24:38Speaker 2: That would be a big help for all of it.
- 24:41Speaker 2: If you do have the ability to if you're working
- 24:45Speaker 2: like off of a laptop, and you have the ability
- 24:48Speaker 2: maybe to have, like if you've got a home office,
- 24:51Speaker 2: maybe a second monitor that you use that's elevated a bit,
- 24:55Speaker 2: that would help. It's one of the things that I
- 24:57Speaker 2: try to do. I've got neck issues for other reasons,
- 25:00Speaker 2: but it might be something that would help I keep
- 25:04Speaker 2: my I've got two monitors up and then I actually
- 25:06Speaker 2: have my laptop monitors my third screen, but I try
- 25:10Speaker 2: to use the ones up high when possible, so I'm
- 25:13Speaker 2: not looking down even more because I do stare at
- 25:15Speaker 2: my phone too much. We all do. Everybody does. I mean,
- 25:19Speaker 2: let's just face it, almost everybody does. All right. How
- 25:22Speaker 2: far would you go to have good food? There's a
- 25:27Speaker 2: foody motivation that people have. A new survey found thirty
- 25:32Speaker 2: percent thirty two percent of people who respond and have
- 25:34Speaker 2: traveled somewhere just for the food twenty two percent have
- 25:37Speaker 2: gone to another state to get their hands on a
- 25:40Speaker 2: certain food or snack, and ten percent have gone to
- 25:43Speaker 2: another country. Thirty four percent said that they haven't taken
- 25:46Speaker 2: a road or plane trip to get their hands on
- 25:48Speaker 2: a certain food yet, but would if given the opportunity.
- 25:53Speaker 2: I've got a trip coming up this summer and I'm
- 25:56Speaker 2: very much looking forward to one of my favorite restaurants
- 25:59Speaker 2: on the planet. It that I've been too many times,
- 26:02Speaker 2: and I'm looking forward to giving the owner a nice
- 26:05Speaker 2: big hug and saying handback. It's only been five years,
- 26:09Speaker 2: but that's not the reason for the trip, so I
- 26:10Speaker 2: don't know that that qualifies, but I will make sure
- 26:13Speaker 2: to go see her because I'm really excited about my
- 26:19Speaker 2: chance to get food from that restaurant again overseas. That'll
- 26:24Speaker 2: do it for this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks
- 26:27Speaker 2: to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll
- 26:30Speaker 2: catch you back here tomorrow morning.
