Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Monday morning, tenth day of February. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:16
Speaker 2: joining me. Day after the Super Bowl. Might be dragging
0:21
Speaker 2: a little bit if you ate or drank too much.
0:23
Speaker 2: We'll address some of the reasons people might be calling
0:27
Speaker 2: out of work coming up a little bit later on
0:30
Speaker 2: in the show. A blowout not what Chiefs fans expected,
0:35
Speaker 2: probably not what a lot of people expected. I'm sure
0:38
Speaker 2: Eagles fans were hoping for this, but I don't know
0:41
Speaker 2: if they were even expecting it. So this whole hype
0:45
Speaker 2: about three in a row, it's hard. It's hard for
0:48
Speaker 2: a team to win a championship. It's really hard for
0:52
Speaker 2: a team to win back to back championships. And you
0:55
Speaker 2: better believe it's hard for a team to win three
0:59
Speaker 2: in a row. It just is. It's going to be
1:03
Speaker 2: even if someone had done it yesterday, it would still
1:06
Speaker 2: be hard for someone else to do it. But I
1:09
Speaker 2: think when you have a team that has had the
1:13
Speaker 2: kind of season that the Chiefs had a couple of
1:16
Speaker 2: seasons that they've had, you know, a lot of Eagles
1:18
Speaker 2: fans felt like they should have won the first time
1:21
Speaker 2: these two teams played, and I don't know, maybe they
1:25
Speaker 2: should have. But the call when you watch it the
1:29
Speaker 2: first time, you think even the player for the Eagles,
1:34
Speaker 2: Brad Berryer, whoever it was that was called in that
1:36
Speaker 2: first game for that hold or pass interference or whatever
1:40
Speaker 2: it was. I mean, he said he thought that he
1:43
Speaker 2: committed the foul, So that to me should have been
1:45
Speaker 2: the end of it. Little did we know there would
1:48
Speaker 2: be a series of terrible calls in important games that
1:52
Speaker 2: would seem to always go the chief's way. That certainly
1:58
Speaker 2: didn't seem to be the case yesterday. There was one
2:00
Speaker 2: early in the game that even Brady was upset. As
2:03
Speaker 2: the play by play guy for the game, I'm sorry,
2:06
Speaker 2: the color man for the game and Burkhard was doing
2:09
Speaker 2: play by play. They thought they did a fine job.
2:13
Speaker 2: I think it's interesting that you know, this was Brady's
2:19
Speaker 2: first year doing this. Greg Olsen, the tight end who
2:25
Speaker 2: played for the Panthers, had been promoted to the A list.
2:30
Speaker 2: The last time Fox had the Super Bowl and he
2:33
Speaker 2: called the game, he was the color guy and he
2:37
Speaker 2: got bumped. He got demoted from this A spot so
2:39
Speaker 2: he's not due. He wasn't doing the Super Bowl yesterday,
2:42
Speaker 2: and he voiced his displeasure in that by saying that,
2:47
Speaker 2: you know, he's he'll be back. That's what he said,
2:51
Speaker 2: I'll be back doing the biggest games. Look, there's so
2:57
Speaker 2: many things to say about this, but I get his feelings,
3:01
Speaker 2: and that's what his attitude should be, I'll be back.
3:03
Speaker 2: What gets me is it's not like he went through
3:08
Speaker 2: this long, rigorous career of earning his way along. He
3:12
Speaker 2: kind of had the same thing done for him. That
3:13
Speaker 2: happened for Brady. They just gave him the gig and
3:17
Speaker 2: then he lost the gig, and I think he knew
3:19
Speaker 2: when he got it he probably wasn't going to have
3:22
Speaker 2: it for long. I think that was kind of assumed
3:24
Speaker 2: the way it was going to go for Brady. But
3:27
Speaker 2: you know what it's that's that's he's got every right
3:33
Speaker 2: to feel that way if he wants to feel that way.
3:35
Speaker 2: There's not an opening anywhere at any team that is
3:40
Speaker 2: going to be any station that's going to have room
3:44
Speaker 2: for him on that broadcast team and their a team,
3:47
Speaker 2: but he can feel that way. I just that was
3:49
Speaker 2: interesting that he was like, I'll be back This is
3:51
Speaker 2: wrong what they did to me for But they kind
3:54
Speaker 2: of did it to give him the job at some point,
3:56
Speaker 2: but it wasn't quite the same. But and I'm sorry,
3:59
Speaker 2: but you're gonna take your opportunity to put Tom Brady
4:01
Speaker 2: in the booth. That's what you're gonna do, all right,
4:04
Speaker 2: A couple of things I want to do just quickly,
4:06
Speaker 2: as far as super Bowl goes. And we we were
4:09
Speaker 2: at a party. I told you I had no plans
4:11
Speaker 2: to watch the super Bowl, and I did. I had
4:13
Speaker 2: zero plans. But my friend Jennifer and her husband Richard
4:19
Speaker 2: invited us to their party and we said, well, we'll
4:22
Speaker 2: be there, sure, thank you. Jill, and I did go.
4:25
Speaker 2: Our boys went to a youth event at our church
4:28
Speaker 2: where they played the Mario Kart tournament. Apparently the tournament
4:32
Speaker 2: could not be settled yesterday and they have to go
4:35
Speaker 2: to a sudden death playoff between the two of them.
4:38
Speaker 2: They were the top two finishers in the in the tournament.
4:41
Speaker 2: I don't know what that says about the Carroll House.
4:43
Speaker 2: That they're really good at Mario Kart or that I
4:45
Speaker 2: let them play it too much. I don't know which
4:48
Speaker 2: it is. But and I say I because you know,
4:51
Speaker 2: Jill's not the one saying, hey, go play video games.
4:55
Speaker 2: But we went, and I ended up watching some of
4:57
Speaker 2: the game. I didn't. It got to a point where
4:59
Speaker 2: I just thought, you know, I wanted them both to lose.
5:02
Speaker 2: That was my attitude. I don't like either team. As
5:05
Speaker 2: a Giants fan, I definitely wasn't pulling for the Eagles.
5:08
Speaker 2: I know I wasn't pulling for Barkley. I understand this
5:12
Speaker 2: disillusionment that people have about why you're supposed to pull
5:16
Speaker 2: for the players that went to your college team in
5:18
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, even if they play for the team
5:21
Speaker 2: that you hate. I don't do that. I can't do that.
5:24
Speaker 2: I'd love to say, hey, way to go Jalen Hurtz,
5:29
Speaker 2: or way to go Smith or Dickers. They're players that
5:33
Speaker 2: went to Alabama. And I know I've got friends that
5:35
Speaker 2: are big Georgia fans that are happy that the Georgia
5:38
Speaker 2: players that were on the team won. And that's fine.
5:41
Speaker 2: It's just not me. And if you don't really have
5:43
Speaker 2: a dog in the fight, so to speak, no pun intended.
5:47
Speaker 2: If you don't care, maybe you did, maybe you were
5:50
Speaker 2: pulling for that, that's fine, that's completely understandable. But the
5:55
Speaker 2: people that I know that were Auburn fan and Falcons
6:01
Speaker 2: fans that were pulling for Cam Newton when he was
6:04
Speaker 2: with Carolina. That didn't make any sense to me, Like
6:07
Speaker 2: you're pulling against your own calls, you're pulling for a
6:10
Speaker 2: division rival, You're pulling against your team. And that's just
6:14
Speaker 2: how I view it. And I know some sports fans
6:17
Speaker 2: don't work that way, and that's fine too. You pull
6:20
Speaker 2: for whoever you wanted to pull for. Yesterday, there's a
6:22
Speaker 2: lot of Chiefs fatigue. I get it, and I understand
6:26
Speaker 2: I was part of the Chief's fatigue. I didn't necessarily
6:29
Speaker 2: want them to win that third Super Bowl in a row.
6:31
Speaker 2: I didn't want them to get out of the four club.
6:33
Speaker 2: I didn't want them, you know any of that. I was,
6:36
Speaker 2: But one of them had to lose. One of them
6:40
Speaker 2: had to lose, and there was no way I couldn't
6:42
Speaker 2: figure out a way for them to both lose. But
6:44
Speaker 2: I enjoyed spending time with Jennifer and Richard's dog, Ginger.
6:51
Speaker 2: I mean, that was the high point of my day.
6:53
Speaker 2: It was my own little puppy bowl. That's the way
6:55
Speaker 2: I looked at it. I had my own little Puppy
6:58
Speaker 2: Bowl with Ginger, cute little dog. So anyway, so we
7:03
Speaker 2: were there and just a couple of observations. Just quickly,
7:09
Speaker 2: President Trump was there. I can't believe there hasn't been
7:12
Speaker 2: a sitting president at a at a super Bowl. I
7:16
Speaker 2: don't know why. This is the first time that that's happened,
7:20
Speaker 2: but he was there. When he was on the screen,
7:24
Speaker 2: he was cheered applause while he saluted the flag. We'll
7:28
Speaker 2: come back to that in a second. Taylor Swift, when
7:31
Speaker 2: she was shown on the screen, she was booed. I mean,
7:35
Speaker 2: it's a bit of a reflection on I think where
7:38
Speaker 2: we are culturally. That's a bit of a reflection and
7:41
Speaker 2: you just have to look at this and you just
7:44
Speaker 2: kind of have to maybe evaluate a little bit of
7:46
Speaker 2: where you are on this particular spectrum. And that's not
7:51
Speaker 2: even pointing out I hadn't even discussed yet the fact
7:54
Speaker 2: that Kamala Harris, the former VP, went to a Lakers
7:57
Speaker 2: game the other day and just had like some seats
8:00
Speaker 2: that maybe I would buy. You would think, you know,
8:04
Speaker 2: she's supposed to be a big, big superstar, big rock star.
8:08
Speaker 2: Shouldn't she have been court sided? No, she was sitting
8:11
Speaker 2: up in just regular seats and walking to her seat
8:13
Speaker 2: with no one really paying her any mind, no one
8:17
Speaker 2: giving her any real attention. It wasn't like people were
8:20
Speaker 2: cheering and yelling. No, she was just someone. It just
8:24
Speaker 2: looked like, you know, like a somebody's mom and dad
8:28
Speaker 2: walking to their seats at a game. That's what it
8:30
Speaker 2: looked like. And that's again, that's kind of where we are.
8:33
Speaker 2: So back to Trump and his salute during the national anthem,
8:38
Speaker 2: and some people upset. Oh, he's not supposed to. He's
8:43
Speaker 2: not an active duty serviceman. He's not supposed to salute,
8:48
Speaker 2: and protocol typically would be for a president to put
8:52
Speaker 2: their hand over their heart. Not necessarily, however, there's no
8:56
Speaker 2: rule that says they can't. That's what I don't understand.
8:58
Speaker 2: It's a president can do that as the commander in
9:01
Speaker 2: chief of the army. But I'll just say this for
9:06
Speaker 2: the handful of people who really got them in a bunch,
9:10
Speaker 2: so to speak about this, life must be good. Life
9:15
Speaker 2: must be good in your world. If this is all
9:17
Speaker 2: you've got to worry about, If this is the biggest
9:19
Speaker 2: concern that you have in life, life is pretty darn good.
9:24
Speaker 2: And I understand this is about more than that. These
9:27
Speaker 2: are people that are still mad that they're side lost.
9:29
Speaker 2: These are people that still can't get past the fact
9:32
Speaker 2: that I don't know, their favorite politicians aren't still able
9:36
Speaker 2: to steal our tax money through all these programs that
9:41
Speaker 2: DOGE is shutting down. They're upset, they're frustrated, they're angry,
9:46
Speaker 2: and they've believed a lot of lies that have been
9:48
Speaker 2: told to them. But it's fine you want to say, Hey,
9:52
Speaker 2: and I understand there's some I guess some veterans from
9:56
Speaker 2: former military or current I don't know of any current
9:59
Speaker 2: military that we're upset. I personally know some former that
10:03
Speaker 2: we're upset about it. And you know, like I said,
10:06
Speaker 2: life must be good. I mean, as a veteran, you
10:10
Speaker 2: certainly are entitled to your opinion, your thoughts. I'm not
10:13
Speaker 2: telling it you can. I'm just pointing out the fact life's
10:16
Speaker 2: probably good. I got about one hundred other things I
10:19
Speaker 2: gotta worry about before I can even think about that.
10:23
Speaker 2: But that's just where I am personally. But maybe you've
10:27
Speaker 2: got a different opinion on that than me, and that's
10:29
Speaker 2: all so fine. I'm not telling anybody how they're supposed
10:32
Speaker 2: to think about it. I'm just pointing out the fact
10:34
Speaker 2: that this is certainly just one of those areas where
10:39
Speaker 2: I just assume everybody's got stuff to worry about like
10:43
Speaker 2: I do, and not just man boy. The President saluted
10:47
Speaker 2: the audience there at the game really appreciated him saluting.
10:50
Speaker 2: So there's that halftime show. Don't care. Didn't watch it,
10:56
Speaker 2: didn't watch a second, maybe a second of it. It
10:58
Speaker 2: was enough for me to go, Yeah, this is all
11:00
Speaker 2: I need to do. Didn't care. Not an artist that
11:03
Speaker 2: I would intentionally listen to. I have no interest none whatsoever.
11:09
Speaker 2: I know people were hoping that maybe Taylor Swift would
11:11
Speaker 2: be part of the show because I guess she did
11:13
Speaker 2: a song with Kendrick Lamar. If Kendrick Lamar were sitting
11:17
Speaker 2: in a chair next to me right now, I wouldn't
11:19
Speaker 2: recognize him. It just doesn't matter to me. Give me
11:23
Speaker 2: a show where you had, you know, like Tom Petty
11:25
Speaker 2: or You Two or Prince or one of those shows. Yeah,
11:28
Speaker 2: I'm in. I'll watch, you know some of the others,
11:31
Speaker 2: you know, But I just I didn't watch any of it,
11:34
Speaker 2: didn't care. And I know people like to talk about
11:37
Speaker 2: the ads. The ads have been most of them have
11:39
Speaker 2: been online for a while, it wasn't anything. I'm a
11:43
Speaker 2: big fan of the movie when Harry met Sally. I
11:45
Speaker 2: like the Mayo ad. That was fine, and there were
11:48
Speaker 2: a few other good ones in there. But anyway, I
11:52
Speaker 2: got better stuff. I got better stuff to worry about
11:54
Speaker 2: than Super Bowl ads. To be honest, I was probably
11:57
Speaker 2: in the bathroom peeing. I mean, it's just that's what
12:01
Speaker 2: you do now on that subject. And when I say
12:04
Speaker 2: that's what you do now, it's the tenth of February tomorrow.
12:10
Speaker 2: This is where I got to be personal for a minute.
12:11
Speaker 2: But tomorrow is my birthday. Over the weekend we celebrated
12:19
Speaker 2: my birthday. This is a milestone birthday for me. And
12:22
Speaker 2: it's one of those things where so many people that
12:24
Speaker 2: I know will say to me, and it's a lot
12:28
Speaker 2: and this is just me saying it. It's just the reality.
12:31
Speaker 2: But a number of people will say to me, that's
12:37
Speaker 2: you know, you look about maybe forty, and I take that.
12:40
Speaker 2: They say thirty eight forty something like that, and I'll
12:43
Speaker 2: certainly take that all day. Someone recently said it to
12:48
Speaker 2: me they thought I was about forty, and I was like,
12:51
Speaker 2: it's higher, but I'm turning fifty. Tomorrow, and so cat's
12:58
Speaker 2: out of the bag. Just when people say I look forty,
13:02
Speaker 2: you just I mean, I might correct them, but sometimes
13:04
Speaker 2: I just go thanks, and then you just kind of
13:07
Speaker 2: go with it. Not too long ago, a friend of
13:12
Speaker 2: ours asked me when Jill and I were going to
13:14
Speaker 2: be turning forty, and we just laughed because we were like,
13:17
Speaker 2: we don't even remember turning forty. It's been a while,
13:21
Speaker 2: but I'll turn fifty tomorrow. And I mentioned that today
13:24
Speaker 2: because over the weekend on Saturday, Jill, along with my mom,
13:31
Speaker 2: who they did a great job as far as the
13:34
Speaker 2: catering of this whole thing, and our friends Christy and Cliff,
13:39
Speaker 2: hosted us for a party at their place, and like
13:44
Speaker 2: I said, Jill and my mom and did most of
13:46
Speaker 2: the catering work. Christy and Cliff and their kids helped
13:50
Speaker 2: out with getting things prepared, but had a really good time.
13:55
Speaker 2: And I mentioned it just largely because it was great
13:58
Speaker 2: to get friends together, great to celebrate and as I said,
14:03
Speaker 2: that milestone birthday it's happening officially tomorrow, and right now
14:07
Speaker 2: I'm holding on to my last about twenty a little
14:11
Speaker 2: over twenty four hours I was born in the afternoon
14:14
Speaker 2: but of my forties and then I roll into the
14:18
Speaker 2: fifties and I sort of joke it with people and
14:20
Speaker 2: I say, you know, it feels like I've been hit
14:22
Speaker 2: by a bus, you know, but you're still here and
14:27
Speaker 2: you're still going, and you're still living your life. And
14:30
Speaker 2: when you get people together, like all the friends that
14:33
Speaker 2: came for the party, and there were some you know,
14:36
Speaker 2: we had, you know, we couldn't invite everybody we would
14:39
Speaker 2: have loved to have invited. But you get to that
14:42
Speaker 2: point where you're looking around the room and you're like this,
14:44
Speaker 2: these people are all part of my story, and it
14:47
Speaker 2: was good to be there with them. And there's some
14:49
Speaker 2: of you listening that are part of my story. And
14:53
Speaker 2: I'm thankful for that. This job that I've had since
14:59
Speaker 2: the nineties, right since I graduated at high school, this
15:03
Speaker 2: job of broadcasting has allowed me to meet many of
15:05
Speaker 2: you and many of them and many people so and
15:09
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. And that's just one of those things.
15:11
Speaker 2: All these people become part of your story. My soccer
15:15
Speaker 2: family is part of my story, My ballet family is
15:18
Speaker 2: part of my story, my radio, my podcast, the people
15:22
Speaker 2: that you are part of and just and all I
15:24
Speaker 2: offer of some encouragement for you is to just take
15:29
Speaker 2: some time. You don't have to get to a milestone birthday,
15:32
Speaker 2: to take some time to appreciate those people that are
15:35
Speaker 2: part of your story. Because they are there's something from
15:39
Speaker 2: them maybe that you carry with you. There's something from
15:41
Speaker 2: you maybe that they carry with them, and that's special
15:45
Speaker 2: and that's nice. And one more thing I want to
15:47
Speaker 2: acknowledge is some of you may know and Mark I
15:52
Speaker 2: know is a listener. But Mark Foster, who we've known
15:56
Speaker 2: for a while now, Jill knows that family a little
16:00
Speaker 2: better than even I do. But Mark is the owner
16:06
Speaker 2: of a school bus that is adorned with lights and speakers.
16:13
Speaker 2: And you may have seen it going around Columbus, especially
16:17
Speaker 2: around the holidays, blaring Christmas music. You may have seen
16:20
Speaker 2: it blaring a number of songs even Saturday as Mark
16:26
Speaker 2: came and picked us up from Christy and Cliff's house
16:29
Speaker 2: and drove us all around Columbus downtown. If you were
16:33
Speaker 2: in downtown Columbus or uptown Columbus or whatever you want
16:35
Speaker 2: to call it, and you saw this bus covered in lights,
16:38
Speaker 2: that was us. It's tearing through Columbus and celebrating me
16:44
Speaker 2: getting ready to turn fifty, So I appreciate Mark doing that.
16:47
Speaker 2: It was fun. I was completely surprised. I had no
16:50
Speaker 2: idea that was in the works. Mark and Jill and Jenny,
16:55
Speaker 2: Mark's wife cooked all that up and I really appreciate it.
16:58
Speaker 2: My friends will forget it. The kids of my friends
17:03
Speaker 2: definitely won't forget it for the rest of their lives.
17:06
Speaker 2: The day that they drove around on Mark's party bus
17:10
Speaker 2: and listen to you know, House of Pain, because you
17:14
Speaker 2: got to listen to jump around while you're partying. But
17:17
Speaker 2: I really appreciate that, and thanks Mark. It was a
17:22
Speaker 2: lot of fun and I appreciate it. And as I
17:25
Speaker 2: said again, Mark is part of my story and Jenny
17:31
Speaker 2: part of my These are people that you just along
17:34
Speaker 2: the way you go. They're part of your story, and
17:36
Speaker 2: you've got to take time to appreciate these people that
17:39
Speaker 2: are part of that. So just some words of an
17:43
Speaker 2: almost fifty year old guy. Today's show brought to you
17:46
Speaker 2: by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring
17:51
Speaker 2: and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM
17:56
Speaker 2: career holders that really of all ages. I mean, they
18:00
Speaker 2: do it for school age kids, as school age kids
18:04
Speaker 2: visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also
18:06
Speaker 2: do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
18:12
Speaker 2: and the careers in space and stem fields are booming
18:17
Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
18:20
Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
18:27
Speaker 2: also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got
18:30
Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwobe School
18:35
Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
18:38
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
18:43
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
18:45
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
18:49
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
18:54
Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
18:58
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
19:01
Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows
19:06
Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
19:09
Speaker 2: Where you can get outside, sometimes you do it at
19:12
Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
19:16
Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference
19:18
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night
19:21
Speaker 2: events also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As
19:25
Speaker 2: Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I
19:30
Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
19:34
Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
19:38
Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
19:41
Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
19:47
Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
19:50
Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
19:55
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
19:58
Speaker 2: care of square and that away f and while they're there,
20:01
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
20:03
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
20:07
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
20:10
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
20:13
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
20:15
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
20:19
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
20:22
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes
20:26
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
20:29
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
20:32
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
20:35
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
20:38
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
20:41
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
20:43
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
20:46
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
20:47
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
20:50
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
20:53
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
20:56
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
20:59
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
21:02
Speaker 2: as well. Seven sixty five eight forty five hundred seven
21:05
Speaker 2: O six three five eight forty five hundred O dccolumbus
21:10
Speaker 2: dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after the
21:13
Speaker 2: break well, wallet Hub estimated that one hundred and thirteen
21:25
Speaker 2: point seven million Americans either threw or attended a Super
21:32
Speaker 2: Bowl party, with about seventeen and a half million watching
21:36
Speaker 2: the game at a restaurant or bar yesterday. Or you
21:40
Speaker 2: one of those people, And of course focus of a
21:44
Speaker 2: lot of the parties was the food that tended to
21:46
Speaker 2: be the way it went when you were like me
21:48
Speaker 2: and you didn't like either team, hated both teams, didn't
21:52
Speaker 2: really want to watch any of the game, but did
21:55
Speaker 2: attend a party. You you know, food is a big focus,
21:59
Speaker 2: a serve done by well, it doesn't say who, but
22:05
Speaker 2: found that less than half of people watching the game
22:07
Speaker 2: even cared about who won. That's different than me hoping
22:10
Speaker 2: that they both aw somehow, but fifty four percent saying
22:13
Speaker 2: that the food can help make or break the party.
22:17
Speaker 2: And this yesterday's big of course wings at the top
22:21
Speaker 2: of the list, barbecue, seven layer dip, pizza, and then
22:27
Speaker 2: some form of chicken tenders or nuggets. So probably we're
22:31
Speaker 2: eating some of that yesterday at a party of some kind.
22:35
Speaker 2: And a lot of people calling out from work today.
22:39
Speaker 2: Just sorry if you're going to be one of those
22:42
Speaker 2: people to do it and your boss listens to the show.
22:45
Speaker 2: But the reality here is a lot of people are
22:48
Speaker 2: calling out today. According to the ukg Absenteeism Survey and
22:53
Speaker 2: estimated twenty two point six million Americans, we'll be calling
22:58
Speaker 2: out today maybe having a little too much food, a
23:01
Speaker 2: little too much drink a little too much of both.
23:05
Speaker 2: I would imagine some having a hard time if their
23:09
Speaker 2: team got blown out. Some maybe celebrated a bit too
23:13
Speaker 2: much if their team was the blower outer twelve point
23:18
Speaker 2: nine million saying that they'll probably get to work late today.
23:22
Speaker 2: A survey finding that about forty three percent of employed
23:25
Speaker 2: Americans think that yes today should be a national holiday.
23:30
Speaker 2: Push it back one week one, get rid of a
23:34
Speaker 2: preseason game, add one more regular season game to round
23:38
Speaker 2: it off, and then it all just slides perfectly into
23:41
Speaker 2: President's Day weekend, and then Monday is a holiday. It
23:46
Speaker 2: makes sense. It's going to happen eventually, isn't it. Some
23:50
Speaker 2: folks that maybe didn't participate in watching the Super Bowl
23:54
Speaker 2: yesterday watched a movie survey done by Talker Research revealing
24:00
Speaker 2: that America's all time favorite movie and if you went
24:03
Speaker 2: to a favorite, you might have watched Forrest Gump, Wizard
24:06
Speaker 2: of Oz, Titanic, Lion King, and Dirty Dancing rounding out
24:10
Speaker 2: the top five. I don't see the Three Amigos anywhere
24:14
Speaker 2: in the top twenty, and there's just something wrong about that.
24:17
Speaker 2: By generation. I guess gen X is really driving this
24:20
Speaker 2: survey because Forrest Gump, Rocky in the Star Wars series
24:24
Speaker 2: are our favorites. Gen Z Toy Story, Avengers, Endgame, Shrek.
24:31
Speaker 2: Millennials say Lion King, Forrest Gump, I guess that helps
24:34
Speaker 2: the Forrest Gump numbers and Titanic for them. Baby boomers
24:39
Speaker 2: say dirty Dancing Wizard of Oz and then Forrest Gump,
24:42
Speaker 2: Forrest Gump popping up in a lot of them. So
24:45
Speaker 2: all right, this is probably again. If you're going to
24:48
Speaker 2: work late or you're struggling today, maybe something you could
24:53
Speaker 2: do to help recover is take a nap, and that's good,
24:57
Speaker 2: maybe for many days. A study done University College London
25:02
Speaker 2: and the University of the Republic of Uruguay found that
25:06
Speaker 2: naps are good for your brain. In fact, the research
25:09
Speaker 2: found that regular nappers have healthier brains that age more slowly. Specifically,
25:16
Speaker 2: napping can slow down brain shrinkage, which typically starts around
25:20
Speaker 2: age forty. That means that napping improves cognitive function and
25:25
Speaker 2: could potentially reduce the risk of conditions like Alzheimer's. The
25:28
Speaker 2: study found that people who take naps have brains that
25:31
Speaker 2: appear up to six and a half years younger than
25:35
Speaker 2: those who don't, so don't feel guilty about taking a nap,
25:40
Speaker 2: And why would you feel guilty about taking a nap.
25:44
Speaker 2: Just take the nap, enjoy a healthier brain, less likely
25:49
Speaker 2: to get Alzheimer's taking those naps. Now, if you're taking
25:52
Speaker 2: a nap at work when you're not supposed to be,
25:57
Speaker 2: that's a little tricky and that's different. Maybe you should
25:59
Speaker 2: feel maybe you should feel badly about that. I don't know.
26:05
Speaker 2: NFL made an announcement that the Rams will be the
26:08
Speaker 2: home team during a game in Melbourne, Australia in the
26:13
Speaker 2: twenty twenty sixth season, and the plan is already raising
26:17
Speaker 2: some controversy, with the flight from LA to Melbourne being
26:21
Speaker 2: fifteen hours approximately Melbourne nineteen hours ahead of LA, so
26:27
Speaker 2: the Rams players and whoever their opponent will be will
26:29
Speaker 2: have a slight adjustment to the time difference. It is.
26:35
Speaker 2: I've been there, I've done it. They're going to need
26:37
Speaker 2: some time to adjust for Just you arrive, you're tired.
26:44
Speaker 2: There's no other way to put it. I mean you're
26:47
Speaker 2: going to be dealing with it, and then when you
26:49
Speaker 2: come back home, you got to deal with it. The
26:51
Speaker 2: proposed game will likely be one of the twenty twenty
26:53
Speaker 2: sixth season one of the first of that season so
26:56
Speaker 2: players can adjust, But the NFL Players Association still isn't happy.
27:01
Speaker 2: They say that the time difference has significant implications for
27:05
Speaker 2: our player's rest, recovery, and performance. The players are concerned
27:10
Speaker 2: that these have not been accounted for. Probably should also
27:15
Speaker 2: be another West Coast team, just to be in the
27:18
Speaker 2: interest of fairness. I've done this flight, I've done this
27:21
Speaker 2: trip many many times. I'll be doing it again soon enough,
27:26
Speaker 2: and I'm just telling you part of that would also
27:29
Speaker 2: be the traveling from the East Coast to the West
27:32
Speaker 2: Coast before making the fifteen to sixteen hour flight to Melbourne.
27:38
Speaker 2: All right, that'll do it for this Monday edition of
27:40
Speaker 2: the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you
27:43
Speaker 2: for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
