What Does It Even Mean? · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

0:01
Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:05
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, a fourth day of February. I'm Wes, thanks
0:14
Speaker 2: for joining me. How about that Pro Bowl last night?
0:19
Speaker 2: Huh oh, I mean either, I don't know. I watched
0:23
Speaker 2: a little bit of it with Luke. Luke's at the
0:25
Speaker 2: age now at fourteen, where he understands it's kind of silly,
0:29
Speaker 2: but he also thinks, well, you know, we can we
0:32
Speaker 2: sit down and watch it dad. You know, it's just
0:35
Speaker 2: guys playing flag football. And you know, yeah, he's got
0:37
Speaker 2: a point. I mean, it's it is silly. It is uh,
0:42
Speaker 2: it's really silly. And it's not that the game was
0:45
Speaker 2: ever really. I mean, you're you're talking about a game
0:47
Speaker 2: where people have a tendency to get injured sometimes, you know,
0:53
Speaker 2: non contact injuries. I'm talking about football in general, not
0:57
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl. But if you know, you're just on
1:00
Speaker 2: the field and you suddenly change directions and you know,
1:04
Speaker 2: and then you're out for you know, fourteen months, an
1:08
Speaker 2: entire year for being able to play nobody, you know,
1:12
Speaker 2: you miss a whole season at this point. So no,
1:17
Speaker 2: they can't really take this too seriously. You know, concussions
1:21
Speaker 2: and all you just can't. So what they're doing is
1:24
Speaker 2: all they can do. They can play flag football and
1:27
Speaker 2: give the fans something. And I just would hope that
1:31
Speaker 2: while they're there, you got kids coming up wanting to
1:33
Speaker 2: get autographs and things. So you do all that, you know,
1:38
Speaker 2: but it's a really serious thing. I mean the selection
1:41
Speaker 2: process because Shador Sanders, who played what two and a
1:45
Speaker 2: half games? Five six games? What did you play? He
1:48
Speaker 2: didn't play. He played only about five or six games
1:51
Speaker 2: more than I did last season, and he's in. He
1:55
Speaker 2: was one of the fill ins. I don't know what
1:58
Speaker 2: the circumstances were that at them to him. There were
2:01
Speaker 2: other people that were you know, injured or whatever or
2:06
Speaker 2: not available to play. Typically, this is the way it works.
2:11
Speaker 2: You have, you know, the players that they pick to
2:14
Speaker 2: be in in in the Pro Bowl, and oftentimes, you know,
2:19
Speaker 2: like the quarterback. It's true of any position, but especially
2:22
Speaker 2: with the quarterbacks. You know they might be in the
2:24
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, so they can't be in the Pro Bowl.
2:27
Speaker 2: As the Super Bowl people are getting ready for the
2:29
Speaker 2: game on Sunday, the one that they're you know, the
2:32
Speaker 2: whole this is what it's all about. It's about winning
2:35
Speaker 2: Super Bowls. Unless you're on the Hall of Fame committee,
2:38
Speaker 2: then it's not about winning super Bowls. It's about other things.
2:42
Speaker 2: It's about random other things. Ken Anderson great quarterback for
2:47
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bengals, you know in the Hall of Fame,
2:52
Speaker 2: Eli Manning not And it's like, and they get compared
2:55
Speaker 2: quite a bit. I guess that was a comparison for
2:58
Speaker 2: you know, this Hall of Fame vote. They looked at
3:01
Speaker 2: those two and they said, or at some point they've
3:03
Speaker 2: been compared quite a bit, Eli maybe getting compared to him.
3:06
Speaker 2: And then they say, well, Anderson won an MVP, and
3:12
Speaker 2: it's like, well, Eli won two Super Bowl MVPs and
3:15
Speaker 2: two Super Bowls, So are we putting the MVP as
3:18
Speaker 2: a priority as a priority over the Super Bowls? Anyway,
3:22
Speaker 2: I digress. The point. The objective is to get your
3:26
Speaker 2: team to the super Bowl and win it. That's what
3:28
Speaker 2: they're all trying to achieve. That's the main focus of
3:33
Speaker 2: what they're trying to do as a team. As a
3:36
Speaker 2: quarterback leading a team, So that would be a good
3:40
Speaker 2: thing if you have to miss the Pro Bowl, and
3:42
Speaker 2: that often had and typically Patrick Mahomes has been He's
3:46
Speaker 2: in most of the Super Bowls he's injured now, so
3:48
Speaker 2: he couldn't be in the Pro Bowl, even though he
3:51
Speaker 2: would have certainly I would think made it ahead of
3:54
Speaker 2: Shador Sanders. But long as they're making Dionne happy, that's
3:58
Speaker 2: all that really matters. Right, They're keeping the Colin cowherds
4:01
Speaker 2: of the world happy, That's all that matters. I watched
4:06
Speaker 2: some with Luke. That's it. That's about the extent of it.
4:09
Speaker 2: It wasn't It's never really a high priority. And the
4:12
Speaker 2: good if they're doing it for fan engagement and they're
4:14
Speaker 2: doing all that, and good for them. That's what they
4:17
Speaker 2: should be doing at this point in the season, really
4:21
Speaker 2: going out there with the fans and you know, putting
4:25
Speaker 2: on a very watered down product, very watered down product.
4:31
Speaker 2: But they don't need to get hurt. They don't need injuries.
4:34
Speaker 2: Nobody needs to you know, no concussions, we don't need
4:38
Speaker 2: any of that. This isn't the point in the season
4:40
Speaker 2: where they need any of that stuff. So I wanted
4:44
Speaker 2: to talk a little bit today about fascism, and what
4:52
Speaker 2: I wanted to say about this is I have someone
4:56
Speaker 2: I went to high school with who was sort of
4:59
Speaker 2: asking the question I guess online, like what where does
5:02
Speaker 2: this come from? And why? I don't remember his specific question,
5:05
Speaker 2: but I think that's the gist of it is, you know,
5:08
Speaker 2: where are people seeing this? What is the fascism that
5:10
Speaker 2: they're seeing, and these kinds of things. I could probably
5:15
Speaker 2: pull up his exact wording of his question, but I
5:18
Speaker 2: don't really want to read that. He was just kind
5:20
Speaker 2: of asking, like trying to get other people's thoughts. Some people,
5:23
Speaker 2: believe it or not, still go on social media and
5:25
Speaker 2: try to engage with other people and interact and ask
5:29
Speaker 2: questions and have civil conversations. There are people who still
5:33
Speaker 2: do that. Remember that used to be the way people
5:36
Speaker 2: interacted on there. It was civil and it was you know, hey,
5:40
Speaker 2: this is kind of what I think? What do you
5:42
Speaker 2: guys think? And then people could just talk and exchange
5:45
Speaker 2: ideas and thoughts. And that's certainly not what it is now.
5:50
Speaker 2: If you have a very small, very tight circle of friends,
5:54
Speaker 2: maybe you can do that. But overall, it's not what
5:58
Speaker 2: it's for, that's not what it does. It's really just
6:01
Speaker 2: it immediately takes a turn in one direction or another,
6:05
Speaker 2: and it's just kind of how it goes. And social
6:07
Speaker 2: media enjoys it, the Facebook or Twitter, especially the Twitter
6:12
Speaker 2: x whatever, Bluetooth, whatever, the stupid one is that the
6:16
Speaker 2: left said, we're going to make one. It's all for them.
6:22
Speaker 2: It's specifically about let's get in here and argue and
6:24
Speaker 2: get the algorithms going and fight blue sky. That's what
6:28
Speaker 2: it's called. I knew it wasn't bluetooth, but I just
6:31
Speaker 2: didn't know what it was called. So because they had
6:34
Speaker 2: one that was all pro left, and then Elon Musk
6:39
Speaker 2: messed it up for him, they hated him. They threw
6:41
Speaker 2: stuff at people that drove cars because they wanted to
6:45
Speaker 2: protect the environment and they liked the electric cars, so
6:48
Speaker 2: they were buying Elon's cars. And then suddenly Elon became
6:51
Speaker 2: the devil and then it was got to destroy people
6:55
Speaker 2: that are trying to support the It's a how dare
6:59
Speaker 2: you try to cut back on fossil fuel use except
7:04
Speaker 2: for the ones that are used, you know, to produce
7:06
Speaker 2: the electricity, but other than that, like it's it's still better.
7:13
Speaker 2: It's still better than the gas. But anyway, so that's
7:17
Speaker 2: what social media is. So they went and they made
7:19
Speaker 2: their own. We're going to make our own this blue thing,
7:22
Speaker 2: and then we're going to do that and then people
7:24
Speaker 2: can get over there and pretend like they're still on Twitter.
7:27
Speaker 2: That's what they can do, and they've convinced themselves of that,
7:30
Speaker 2: and then people left Twitter to go to that because
7:32
Speaker 2: you know, Elon Musk waved it people awkwardly and people went, ah, well,
7:37
Speaker 2: that's clearly he's a Nazi. So this person was basically asking,
7:41
Speaker 2: you know, what is this kind of what? You know?
7:44
Speaker 2: What are people seeing? And there was some engagement there
7:47
Speaker 2: and I'm not I don't want to. I'm not a
7:50
Speaker 2: go on social media and argue with people kind of person.
7:55
Speaker 2: There's a time when I certainly did that, and I
7:59
Speaker 2: you know, I'll be honest, there was definitely a time
8:02
Speaker 2: where I did that. This is not that time at
8:06
Speaker 2: this point in my life at fifty years old. If
8:09
Speaker 2: that's what I'm doing, I am not living my best life.
8:14
Speaker 2: That's all I can say. And I know that there
8:16
Speaker 2: are people who feel like they're living their best life
8:20
Speaker 2: by doing that, and you go do that. This friend
8:23
Speaker 2: who I went to school with, who was asking the question,
8:27
Speaker 2: I truly believe was coming from the perspective of looking
8:32
Speaker 2: for genuine conversation with people, not looking to bicker and fight,
8:36
Speaker 2: and that's not what I'm talking about. I think it's
8:41
Speaker 2: a novelty that there are people who still think that
8:44
Speaker 2: this is going to work, and you can police it,
8:47
Speaker 2: you can figure out how you want to how you
8:49
Speaker 2: want to manage it, how you want to do it.
8:52
Speaker 2: I'm past the stage in my life where I want
8:55
Speaker 2: to be confrontational with people, so I just avoid it,
8:59
Speaker 2: even when I and I think, well, maybe I've got
9:01
Speaker 2: something to contribute to this, and if I feel like
9:03
Speaker 2: I do, I'll just send a direct message. I don't
9:05
Speaker 2: need to get involved in the public conversations with it.
9:10
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's just if it would
9:13
Speaker 2: stay civil, that's one thing. But just know we are
9:18
Speaker 2: in a period of time where if you say the
9:21
Speaker 2: wrong thing, even if it's just a misprint, suddenly you're
9:25
Speaker 2: labeled a fascist or a Nazi or Hitler or whatever,
9:28
Speaker 2: and then you're stuck with that. That's how it goes,
9:31
Speaker 2: and then people are sharing it, going can you believe
9:33
Speaker 2: this clown? So I think being very deliberate with who
9:37
Speaker 2: you talk with, what you say to them, and those
9:39
Speaker 2: kinds of things, to me is as much as I
9:42
Speaker 2: feel like I can control now, there's also times where
9:44
Speaker 2: I just don't get involved at all. And in many
9:47
Speaker 2: cases I see things and I just think, if this
9:51
Speaker 2: is going to be a regular thing and it's riddled
9:54
Speaker 2: with you know, follow ups and posts that are full
9:57
Speaker 2: of ignorance, it's easy to just unfollow or you know, silence.
10:02
Speaker 2: For thirty days, I've been a strong advocate for that. Now,
10:05
Speaker 2: I do think it's important that we do see opinions
10:08
Speaker 2: from other people, and I think it's important that we
10:10
Speaker 2: understand that there are other people outside of our protected
10:14
Speaker 2: little bubble. That we have to realize that there are
10:17
Speaker 2: different thoughts and ideas. So as much as I tell
10:21
Speaker 2: you that I don't do that and that I understand
10:25
Speaker 2: I have this to do, I can do this. I
10:27
Speaker 2: have you guys that listen, and I appreciate you for
10:31
Speaker 2: that because this allows me the ability to not mix
10:35
Speaker 2: it up, to not get into that stuff. I just
10:38
Speaker 2: I don't want to do it. Okay. So with that said,
10:41
Speaker 2: this particular person was just kind of asking, you know,
10:44
Speaker 2: what's up with where how did we get to this
10:47
Speaker 2: thing with this constant fascist stuff? And I just there's
10:53
Speaker 2: a few things that I can add to the conversation
10:56
Speaker 2: that I don't that I felt comfortable sharing with him privately,
11:02
Speaker 2: and I've shared some of these things with you. There
11:05
Speaker 2: are things I have learned over the years about the
11:10
Speaker 2: behind the curtain in the way things work. I've told
11:14
Speaker 2: you I have specific knowledge of the deep state things,
11:22
Speaker 2: and I know we hear oh, the deep state, it's
11:24
Speaker 2: not real, it's a conspiracy theory, and I can tell
11:27
Speaker 2: you it is absolutely real. I could get your names
11:32
Speaker 2: of the deep state people, many of them that get
11:35
Speaker 2: to make the decisions behind the scenes. And I've told
11:39
Speaker 2: you before. One of the reasons that both sides do
11:43
Speaker 2: not even the ones who say they do in public,
11:47
Speaker 2: some of them still don't like Donald Trump because he's
11:50
Speaker 2: not playing that game. He doesn't show up to the
11:53
Speaker 2: White House and say all right, I'm the president and
11:57
Speaker 2: they say no, no, no, no, we're going to run things.
11:59
Speaker 2: You just go in there and why Matt Locke and
12:01
Speaker 2: take some ambient and take a nap. That was the
12:03
Speaker 2: last administration, and that's kind of the way things have
12:06
Speaker 2: been with many administrations. I've said this before. I felt
12:10
Speaker 2: like when the Obamas wrote their book and they said,
12:12
Speaker 2: we were just happy when we got to pick.
12:14
Speaker 1: What we ate.
12:15
Speaker 2: That says something right, even if it's just intentional, not intentional,
12:21
Speaker 2: I don't know, but that tells you something. If that's
12:23
Speaker 2: an accomplishment in your day, that you got to pick
12:25
Speaker 2: what food you were gonna eat, that says a lot
12:28
Speaker 2: about what the days were probably like. But I digress.
12:32
Speaker 2: I think we got a great look at behind the
12:34
Speaker 2: curtain with the deep state in the last administration, especially
12:38
Speaker 2: when his son outed the fact that yeah, they're just
12:40
Speaker 2: choking ambient in him. And you know, we know what
12:43
Speaker 2: was going on with the auto pen, and there's still
12:46
Speaker 2: people who defend that. There's still people who say, well,
12:48
Speaker 2: you should have it's a perfectly normal thing to do.
12:51
Speaker 2: And it's no who was elected, not the deep state people,
12:56
Speaker 2: and it's just the reality. Or do we have situation
13:00
Speaker 2: where there are people behind the scenes that can get
13:02
Speaker 2: more things done using the auto pen? Well certainly, but
13:06
Speaker 2: are they doing the things that you were elected to
13:09
Speaker 2: do as the as the actual president and Donald Trump
13:13
Speaker 2: was elected to you know, under this we have a
13:16
Speaker 2: problem with immigration. We have a problem with illegal immigration.
13:20
Speaker 2: And you could argue we have a problem with regular immigration.
13:23
Speaker 2: It's too expensive, it's to time consuming. I can attest
13:26
Speaker 2: to that. My wife immigrated to this country. She loves
13:30
Speaker 2: it here. It was a long process, it was very expensive.
13:33
Speaker 2: But you do everything by the book, and then you
13:37
Speaker 2: see people not doing it by the book. It's very frustrating,
13:41
Speaker 2: and it gets when people start trying to confuse or conflate.
13:45
Speaker 2: They're trying to say, well, you know you're immigrants or
13:48
Speaker 2: the backbone of this country. Absolutely absolutely, unless you wanted
13:55
Speaker 2: to talk to Billie Eilish about it, and she'll say that,
13:57
Speaker 2: you know, it's stolen and she's living on you know,
14:02
Speaker 2: sacred tribal land. Her actual house is on some of
14:07
Speaker 2: the lands, very sacred land of the tribe that she
14:10
Speaker 2: referenced at the Grammys. But I don't know. That's another
14:12
Speaker 2: conversation for another time. It's off topic. Although when you
14:17
Speaker 2: think about someone complaining about no one is illegal on
14:21
Speaker 2: stolen land, and how absolutely like that's riddled with hear
14:27
Speaker 2: me out on this. If no one's illegal on stolen land,
14:32
Speaker 2: then you can't steal the land because you're not illegal
14:34
Speaker 2: like the early American settlers. Can't be illegal based on
14:38
Speaker 2: your logic, right, I mean, am I I don't know
14:42
Speaker 2: that's what I thought when I heard it. But anyway,
14:45
Speaker 2: so we're basically in this situation now where and I say,
14:53
Speaker 2: I can tell you about things like deep state. I
14:55
Speaker 2: can tell you things about some of my experiences with
14:58
Speaker 2: interviews with very politicians over the years, and they'll tell
15:03
Speaker 2: you when the MIC's off a lot of things, I
15:06
Speaker 2: hear a lot of things, And one of the things
15:08
Speaker 2: you hear is, hey, we want to get people worked
15:10
Speaker 2: up because they'll show up to the polls. Both sides
15:13
Speaker 2: will say that. Both sides will tell you we want
15:15
Speaker 2: people a little angry, maybe a little scared, a little frustrated.
15:20
Speaker 2: That's more likely to get them to show up at
15:22
Speaker 2: the polls. What's interesting to me with this fascism thing
15:26
Speaker 2: now is that we have entered this phase of it
15:29
Speaker 2: feels like, you know, Nazis out, maybe because people finally
15:35
Speaker 2: put together that you know, Nazis were democratic socialists, I
15:37
Speaker 2: don't know, but national democratic socialists, right, Nazi national socialists.
15:44
Speaker 2: But and then the Hitler thing. Maybe it's a little
15:49
Speaker 2: played out. They've been doing that since George W. Bush.
15:52
Speaker 2: And I think if people just actually do their homework,
15:55
Speaker 2: and I don't know that a lot of people do,
15:57
Speaker 2: but if they look it up and they might see, hey,
16:01
Speaker 2: you know, why are we saying that they're Nazis or
16:04
Speaker 2: Hitler when oh, by the way, Hitler did these other
16:06
Speaker 2: horrible things. That's what he's known for. This is the
16:10
Speaker 2: main thing he's known for. I mean that in the mustache.
16:13
Speaker 2: But the other things are the thing that you when
16:16
Speaker 2: you want to say someone's evil, you you're equating it
16:19
Speaker 2: to the things that no one is doing. Okay, no
16:24
Speaker 2: one is doing it, unless you count abortion, then it's
16:28
Speaker 2: you know, as a you know, but that's another it's
16:31
Speaker 2: another thing. So I think the reason that fascist is
16:37
Speaker 2: the word now and you can say, and there are
16:39
Speaker 2: people on the left that will say, what's because he
16:41
Speaker 2: actually is a fascist? Well, but maybe it's just because
16:45
Speaker 2: that's a word that most people that use it have
16:47
Speaker 2: no idea what it means, absolutely none, and they just say, eh,
16:54
Speaker 2: I'm just going to use this word. If you're uninformed,
16:57
Speaker 2: you're ill informed, and someone is saying fascist enough about
17:00
Speaker 2: somebody that you already don't like, it's probably easy to
17:03
Speaker 2: get people sucked into believing that they're a fascist. And
17:08
Speaker 2: folks on the left will say, the number of things
17:10
Speaker 2: that Trump is doing right now that is so fascist.
17:13
Speaker 2: It is a boy, it is so fascist, And that's
17:18
Speaker 2: what they're going to say, and they're going to pump
17:20
Speaker 2: it out through all of their research, They're going to
17:22
Speaker 2: pump it out through all of their media outlets. Folks
17:25
Speaker 2: on the right will just say it communist. I think
17:28
Speaker 2: most people know what that is. They know that, hey,
17:31
Speaker 2: that's bad, that's not good if that comes here and Republicans, well,
17:36
Speaker 2: the left is saying fascist president, he needs to go,
17:41
Speaker 2: even if that means killing him or whatever, because we've
17:44
Speaker 2: had that. So when you believe that someone is evil
17:49
Speaker 2: and that dangerous, then you think, well, they deserve to die,
17:53
Speaker 2: and we need to deal with is now. And if
17:54
Speaker 2: that means, you know, burning down someone's house, if that
17:57
Speaker 2: means breaking into a house and kill someone, shooting them,
18:01
Speaker 2: so be it, murdering a guy on a college campus,
18:04
Speaker 2: whatever it takes. We have to fight the fascists versus
18:08
Speaker 2: what Republicans are doing, which is saying the communists are
18:12
Speaker 2: coming and we have to get them in the in
18:15
Speaker 2: the polls, we have to go on election day and
18:19
Speaker 2: deal with them. And it's a really different extreme. It's
18:24
Speaker 2: a very different extreme for the general strategy. I understand
18:27
Speaker 2: you could say, well, there's people on both sides that
18:31
Speaker 2: aren't advocating complete violence, certainly, and you could say that
18:36
Speaker 2: there are some people on the right that maybe are
18:38
Speaker 2: advocating violence. Sure, sure, they're not the ones grabbing the
18:42
Speaker 2: headlines right now, though, they're not the ones trying to
18:45
Speaker 2: take out major, significant targets. But in a nutshell, I
18:50
Speaker 2: think that's what the fascist thing is. I think it's
18:53
Speaker 2: just that people aren't going to look up what it means,
18:56
Speaker 2: They're not going to actually do their homework, and it's
19:00
Speaker 2: easy to just say, well, that's what he is and
19:02
Speaker 2: then get people to just buy it. Today's show brought
19:04
Speaker 2: to you by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center,
19:08
Speaker 2: inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and
19:14

19:24
Speaker 2: also do it through their university programs where you can
19:27
Speaker 2: learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and
19:33

Speaker 2: their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they
19:52
Speaker 2: do with the Schwobe School of Music from Columbus State
19:55
Speaker 2: University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert
19:58
Speaker 2: experience that but you can get anywhere else. It's one
20:01
Speaker 2: of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
20:04
Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
20:07
Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
20:13
Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
20:17
Speaker 2: Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome.
20:20
Speaker 2: Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check
20:25
Speaker 2: out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you
20:27
Speaker 2: can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola
20:31
Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
20:35
Speaker 2: city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you
20:37
Speaker 2: can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also

Speaker 2: dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door
20:57
Speaker 2: Company of Columbus for all of your garage door needs,
21:00
Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
21:07
Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
21:10
Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
21:14
Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
21:17
Speaker 2: square and that away for you, and while they're there,
21:20
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
21:22
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
21:25
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
21:29
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
21:31
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
21:34
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
21:37
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
21:41
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
21:44
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
21:48
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
21:50
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
21:53
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
21:57
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
21:59
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
22:01
Speaker 2: you just want a little man caved. You'd like to
22:04
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
22:06
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
22:08
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
22:11
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
22:14
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
22:17
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
22:20
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six three five eight forty five
22:23
Speaker 2: hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred
22:26
Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
22:31
Speaker 2: after the break, Well, here's a trend we probably should
22:42
Speaker 2: have seen coming, just based on the fact that the
22:46
Speaker 2: world is now a much smaller place and the way
22:50
Speaker 2: that people interact with each other, and how easily you
22:53
Speaker 2: can interact with people that are not necessarily right there
22:57
Speaker 2: with you. Apparently long distance relationships are trending right now.
23:04
Speaker 2: Gen Z flipping the script on long distance relationships. Instead
23:08
Speaker 2: of avoiding them, many actually preferring them. Many young adults
23:12
Speaker 2: say distance gives them space to grow, focus on themselves
23:16
Speaker 2: and still build meaningful connection. Others say long distance keeps
23:20
Speaker 2: things intentional, you communicate more honestly, and you appreciate small
23:25
Speaker 2: moments when you reunite and you make deliberate choices about
23:30
Speaker 2: your future together. Some people calling it the purest form
23:34
Speaker 2: of love. As somebody who was in a very very
23:39
Speaker 2: long distance relationship for a while who is married very
23:44
Speaker 2: happily to the person he was in that long relationship
23:47
Speaker 2: with a long distance relationship with, Yes, I can attest
23:52
Speaker 2: these things are all certainly applicable. But we were anxious
23:56
Speaker 2: to be in the same hemisphere, the same continent. So
24:01
Speaker 2: it wasn't that we were wanting to be so far apart.
24:05
Speaker 2: We just you know, took advantage of some of these
24:09
Speaker 2: things that are laid out there. And I can tell
24:11
Speaker 2: you this, My favorite airport in the world is the
24:14
Speaker 2: airport right before, like the final airport before I would
24:18
Speaker 2: arrive where Jill was living at the time, So the
24:22
Speaker 2: Brisbane Airport. That's my favorite airport for that particular reason.
24:25
Speaker 2: So that's one of those little things that I guess
24:29
Speaker 2: gen Z's talking about. The latest coffee trend is adding fruit,
24:34
Speaker 2: people cooking fruit into syrups, syrups, syrups, syrups. It's all
24:41
Speaker 2: in where you're from, how you say it. And they
24:44
Speaker 2: say that basically they'll muddle it and then they can
24:47
Speaker 2: add it to hot or iced coffee, creating drinks like
24:52
Speaker 2: banana lattes, blueberry espressos. Now that one has a way
24:56
Speaker 2: to say it. These people that put an X in there,
24:58
Speaker 2: I don't know what they're thinking. That extra kick of
25:01
Speaker 2: flavor of fruit also has some health benefits, they say,
25:04
Speaker 2: adding fruit syrup to your coffee can provide micro nutrients
25:09
Speaker 2: that may not otherwise be present in your coffee. So
25:13
Speaker 2: keep that in mind. That's from registered dietitian Jennifer Weeweiss.
25:18
Speaker 2: That's probably wise, all right. So once upon a time
25:23
Speaker 2: you would sit down and you would watch the Super Bowl.
25:27
Speaker 2: You'd sit there, you'd give the game one hundred percent
25:30
Speaker 2: of your attention. That is now a thing of the past.
25:33
Speaker 2: Of course. Now TV is just one of the screens
25:35
Speaker 2: viewers will be glued to. A new Super Bowl survey
25:39
Speaker 2: from digital marketing agency ad Taxi shows that the Super
25:44
Speaker 2: Bowl actually has gone fully digital. TV will be on,
25:47
Speaker 2: but viewers will also be streaming, scrolling, chatting using multiple
25:51
Speaker 2: screens at the same time. In fact, seventy percent of
25:53
Speaker 2: fans say that they will watch with at least one
25:57
Speaker 2: extra device in hand. Streaming now that dominant way to
26:00
Speaker 2: tune in. The survey also finding that people are just
26:04
Speaker 2: as excited for the ads as they are for the
26:07
Speaker 2: game itself. I never understood that. Sure, the ads can
26:11
Speaker 2: be fun. I don't know about liking, but I think
26:15
Speaker 2: that's a people that don't really like football thing, right.
26:18
Speaker 2: Seventy three I mean not really love football. Seventy three
26:22
Speaker 2: percent said that they're into the actual game itself. Seventy
26:25
Speaker 2: two percent say they're looking forward to the ads. Those
26:29
Speaker 2: two numbers don't add up, but I get kind of
26:31
Speaker 2: what they're saying, So I mean, you could do both.
26:33
Speaker 2: I suppose viewers like the expensive ads, the eight million
26:39
Speaker 2: dollar ads. Only one percent of viewers say that they'll
26:42
Speaker 2: make an immediate purchase because of something that they've seen
26:46
Speaker 2: an ad for. I'm just telling you now, I don't
26:48
Speaker 2: know if I've already mentioned this or not, but the
26:50
Speaker 2: William Shatner Raisin Brand ad, I've already seen it. It
26:54
Speaker 2: is fantastic, So brace yourself for that. Save it for
26:58
Speaker 2: the game, wait until the game, and then take it
27:01
Speaker 2: in the way it was meant to be seen. Don't
27:04
Speaker 2: don't you don't have to watch it early. I mean
27:05
Speaker 2: I did, but you don't. You don't have to do that. Hey,
27:08
Speaker 2: a new rule for decluttering. Sometimes the toughest part of
27:11
Speaker 2: organizing your closet and life is deciding what should stay
27:16
Speaker 2: and what should go. Enter the ifs and butts rule.
27:20
Speaker 2: Just one tea in butts. Pretty simple. When you hear
27:23
Speaker 2: yourself making excuses for something like I'd like this if
27:27
Speaker 2: it wasn't itchy, or i'd wear this, but the sleeves
27:30
Speaker 2: are too short, that's when you need to lean into
27:33
Speaker 2: letting it go makes sense. There's the ifs and butts? Right,
27:38
Speaker 2: makes sense? All right. That'll do it for this Wednesday
27:42
Speaker 2: edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons.
