  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, eighth, the day of April. I'm West thanks
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: for joining me.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I did a thing the past few days, and I
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: got like a lot of momentum going with it. I'm
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: not I don't often binge shows, and I'm not talking
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: about like, you know, just watch the show all the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: way through. I certainly do that something in my brain,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: something about the way my brain's wired if I start
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: a show, especially like a sitcom back in the day.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: There's not really a lot of sitcoms now that I mean,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I might try one out, and they just they don't
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: make them as much anymore. I know, Tim Allen had
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: his new show. I watched an episode you know, wasn't
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: really me. It wasn't me. I don't I mean, I
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: don't got nothing against him Allen, and the cast was
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: all fine. I just it wasn't. I didn't care much
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: for the show. I wasn't gonna keep watching it, and
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: it was just, you know, I didn't really give it
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: time to I guess get its legs under it. But
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: it wasn't I could tell it wasn't going to be me.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: And then, Uh, some drama shows I get started and
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I start rolling through them, and I think, Okay, well
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna you know, if I like it enough. After
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: a certain number of shows, then I feel like I
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: have to see it all.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: The way through.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: And that's true most of the time. There have been
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: a few exceptions, but for the most part, when I
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: start something, if if I hold my interest, I might
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and it might be season to season, but if after
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: a season, I'm not really enjoying it. And when I
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: give up on a show, it's usually kind of painful.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I think it's very tough for me to just say
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna stop with a show. I'm going to give
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: it up. I don't know, is anybody else dealing with
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the same issue as me? Uh, And there have been
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: a few there were that, like, uh, you know, Walking
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Dead was one. I just got to a point where
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I thought, I can't, I can't do this anymore. I
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: just felt like, you know, I hit that point where
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the whole idea of the show it just I enjoyed
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the show for a very long time, and then I
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: hit a point where I just thought, I don't know
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: that I can continue with this. I didn't. I just didn't.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: There were episodes I didn't like the way I felt
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: when the show ended, and I just thought, I don't
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: want to do this to myself, so I'm gonna I'm
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: gonna cut this out and be done with it. So
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: for the most part, if I start something, I'm gonna
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: probably make my way through it most of the time, right,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: especially if it's a classic show, classic sitcom, whatever, I've
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: probably seen it. If you've heard me talk about a show,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I've probably seen every episode. That's what I'm getting at.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: But I don't often sit and watch a show, like
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: a whole season of a show over a couple of days.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: That's not typically me. And uh, there is one show
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: that I do that with, and they've just had their
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: third season, and I find the show fascinating. I do
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: know some people that have concerns about it. I understand
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: the concerns that they have about it. I get it.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I understand. I don't think that they're unfounded. I think
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that when you watch the show, maybe your your concerns
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: can maybe be eased. But if if you still if
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: you watch it and you still have the same concerns.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't blame you for that either. I
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: don't see it, but I do know some people that
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: have questions about it and the show and it's the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and this is there's been five seasons technically because it's
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: there's two seasons of the Australian version, three seasons of
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the American version, So the third season of the American
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: version has just recently dropped. The kids still saying that
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: to Netflix. And it's on the spectrum, and it's about
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: people on the autism spectrum that are looking for companionship,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: looking for love, looking for relationships. Many of them have
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: struggles and difficulties in finding and meeting someone and dating someone.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: And for the most part, it's really fascinating. And you're
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: getting a very like they're not paid, These aren't paid actors.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: This isn't a reality show in the sense of, you know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: this isn't the Kardashians, This isn't a situation where it's
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: not They're not a game show. The goal isn't to
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you know, finish the race first or not get voted
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: off the island or whatever. It's just people that are
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: on the on the ASD spectrum that are you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: have challenges and difficulties in meeting other people. And it's
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: really interesting. It's very interesting, and it's interesting seeing and
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: understanding more. We're an Autism Acceptance Month is what it's
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: used to be Autism Awareness Month. I think most people
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: are aware of autism now and I think that's probably
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the reason for the change in terminology of it. And
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I think that a lot of people have a perception
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: of what it means to be on the autism spectrum,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: and I think a lot of people don't have the
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: correct perception of what it means. And in some cases,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: maybe whatever you think when you hear someone you know
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: mention the word autism, maybe there's something that sort of
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: pops in your head and you think, this is what
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: it means to be autistic, and that's what it means
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: for whatever you're perceiving who maybe someone that you know,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: someone that you love. But there's obviously this they call
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: it a spectrum for a reason. There's a wide range
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: of challenges that people face when they do have autism,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and they're on the neurodivergent spectrum from in various ways.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: So this show gives some insight into a group of
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: people it's two groups of people because of the Australian version,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: but some of them are you know, very much eager
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: to meet someone. They think, why can't I meet someone?
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Why can't I find love? And in some cases they've
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: got a coach that's on the show on the American version,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: the coach forget her name, her last name is Cook,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: but she she herself is on the ASD spectrum and
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: she works with people and gives them guidance on how
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: to interact, how to maybe go on a speed date
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: or how to go on a blind date, in ways
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: that they can communicate with each other. And in many
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: cases they're they're dating other people that are on the
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: spectrum so that they may have that in common. And
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: it's you know, giving people an opportunity to you know,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: go on a day and try to find out if
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: they're a match and if the uh, the things that
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: maybe have held them back in the past from meeting
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: and finding someone, maybe they're able to in getting the
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: experience of a date kind of realized maybe those things
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: that were holding them back aren't necessarily they don't need
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: to hold them back anymore. And it's been great. I've
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: enjoyed the show I just binged the third season. I've
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: got some friends that or have only just started it,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: so I'm anxiously waiting for them to get caught up
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: on it because it's and it's a show. It's you're
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: gonna feel, You're gonna have feels, you're gonna have some frustrations,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have some some happy feels, you're gonna have
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: some sad feels, and it's but anyway, I recommend it.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I know it's not for everyone. There are some people
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: who think that the people on the show are being exploited.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think that in watching it myself, I don't
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: look at it and see people that are being exploited.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I think these are people that are genuinely trying to
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: be helped. They're trying to be guided along this process
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: and trying to find somebody that is a good and
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: some of them do. Some of them find that person,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: which is fascinating when you see how two people just
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: click and one strengths and the others, and their weaknesses
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: aligned with the other strengths and weaknesses, and it just
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: there's an encouragement there that there's somebody there for everybody.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: And you know, people that aren't on the ASD spectrum
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: don't always find that perfect someone. So it's nice to
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: see this playing out in a show where people have
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: some access to them. Now, is there a reality show
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: type component to it? Sure, they know they're on camera.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: At times they acknowledge that they're on camera. It's more
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: of a documentary than a reality show. But it's good
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: and I recommend it if you have someone in your
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: life that is on the spectrum. It may even provide
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: you an opportunity to talk with them as you're watching
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the show together or giving them a chance to see it.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: And it might also give them some encouragement because most
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: of the people the thing that they have in common
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: on the show is that they're just they're frustrated that
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: they haven't been able to find someone. And it does
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: give you a perspective of some people on the spectrum.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: It's obviously not going to cover everyone doesn't cover when
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: you talk about a wide range of people that are
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: on the AST spectrum. So I think it was a
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: nice I think the timing of it coming out this
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: month for April, I don't think that was a coincidence.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: And anyway, I've enjoyed all five seasons, and like I said,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I've just finished the latest season of it, anxious to
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: be able to talk to people about it. I've got
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: one friend who's finished it. We've been able to talk
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: about it, and I finished it just before she did,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: and I was like, please hurry up, Please hurry up.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about that season finale. A couple
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: of other things I want to jump into today. One
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: and I find this interesting that we are in this
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: time of we're seeing more and more cases as the
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: we have ICE doing their job. They're trying to get
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: people out of the country that aren't supposed to be here,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: and people who came into the country that were allowed
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: to come into the country with malicious intent people that
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: were allowed to just walk across the border and do
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: whatever they pleased. Get settled in, find a place to be,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: probably get shipped to a battleground state in a lot
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: of cases, but just settle in, get used to some handouts,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: get used to things being given to them, and basically
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: encouraging more to come and more. Did some came with,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: you know, terrible intentions. I think some came with correct intentions.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: They wanted to come, and they wanted to pursue the
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: American dream. But when you arrive for the American dream,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: and if things are just handed to you and you're
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: told this is what you do, you take it. And
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: you know, we've talked about the numbers eighty percent of
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: people who come into the country illegally and get amnesty
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: and they settle in and then they ultimately become Democrat voters.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I don't think that that's a coincidence. As it seems
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: when we have a Democrat an office in the White House,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: the border just seems to be wide open, and then
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: a Republican steps in and things get shut down. I
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: don't kid yourself. We've had past Democrats in office who
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: actually did put people in cages. Remember the Obama administration
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: put people in cages and separated families, and everybody seen
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: to forget that. But right now, as Ice is doing
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: exactly what the President said Ice would be doing once
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: he got into office, and once he got started, that's
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: what they're doing. They're rounding up a lot of the criminals.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: They're rounding up people who just aren't supposed to be here.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: And it's caused more and more as you have cases
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: pop up and they say, well, was this person really
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: an American or not, And we talked about that. There's
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: this story that's been floating around an American supposedly got
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: grabbed up sent to El Salvador, and people are saying, no,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: he wasn't an American. So I'm saying he was. And
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: I told you I don't know enough about it to
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: tell you I've heard both, but I will continue. And
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I know there's this there's an incident that's happened now
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: where I guess they said Ice went into a school,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: and I don't. I can't speak specifically to the reasoning
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: behind all of that, but what I can tell you
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: is this, as people are, you know, definitely digging in,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: the digging in and and basically saying, you know, this
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: is a horrible thing that's happened to this family. It's
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: a horrible thing that's happened with these kids. But as
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I have stated and I will continue to state, we
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: are we're in this situation where people are being obstinate,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: people are doing everything in their power to prevent Ice
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: from being able to do their job with postings of
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: their coming. They're in your area, this is where they are,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: this is what vehicle they're in, this is what they
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: look like. There are people on social media encouraging people
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: to shoot and kill and murder law enforcement in these
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: ICE agents. This isn't helping to prevent some of these
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: possible miscommunications or these complicated areas like going into a
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: school or accidentally grabbing up someone and them out of
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: the country when they're still supposed to be here, by
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: not allowing them to do their job, by not assisting
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: them to do their job. See, this is where we've
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: created this dynamic in certain cases with police force. When
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: you have people that are told police officers are bad,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: police officers are going to kill you. Police officers want
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: to hurt you. If that is what you believe to
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: be the case across the board, and you are confronted
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: or stopped by a police officer and it is your belief,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: in your certainty that they're there to hurt you, well
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: that's going to create a dynamic where something bad might happen.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: And I guess my question is is this what the
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: people behind all of this really want? Because if you
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: have a situation where there is a killing that happens
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: at the hand of a police officer, if you have
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: an ICE a agent who does kill someone, or does
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: have to go into a school to get the people
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: that they're trying to take out, or they have to say,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: we accidentally sent someone out of the country we shouldn't
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: have sent out and bring them back. These are the
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: kind of headlines that reinforced this notion of they're doing
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: bad things. See, we're lumping ice into this category of
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: their police officers, so they must be bad. And if
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: they're bad, then it's justified doing horrible things to stop them.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: It's justified in shooting them. And there are people calling
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: for that, just like they've been calling for, you know,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: the murder of our president when he was a candidate,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: and even now still calling for the murder of people
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: that work in the healthcare industry. We saw it happen.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: There's video of it when it happened, and then now
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: a second video of it when someone walked into a
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Walgreens and shot someone. Because they bought into this notion
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: and this idea that it's okay to kill people if
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: they're bad. Are they bad people, then it's okay you
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: can kill them. Ice agents, Well, if they're doing bad things,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: they're going into schools and they ship somebody out of
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: the country who wasn't supposed to be shipped out of
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: the country. Then they're bad, so it's okay to hurt them,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: it's okay to kill them, And it's creating these dynamics
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: where they're creating the possibility for more bad things to happen.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Is it intentional? Are we that organized? I can't always.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I'm just I'm not a conspiracy person, but sometimes you
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: have to sit back and say, how is it organized?
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Is this or is this a strategy? Because often we're
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: learning more and more times where we ask the question
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: is it a strategy? The answer that's coming back is,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: you know, a conspiracy theory, and then we find out
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: that the conspiracy theory was right. And I'm just asking
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: the question at this point, could it be that organized?
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, could it certainly seems like it could right.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring and educating the youth and
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: all ages. I mean, they do it for school age
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Science Center, but they also do it through their university programs.
• 17:35

• 19:05
  Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid, you'd like to
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty five

  Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show right
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: after the break. A new study reveals that the secret
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: to feeling fulfilled isn't about what goals you chase, but
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: why you chase those goals. Researchers from Australia and found
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: that people who pursue goals for personal joy and meaningful
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: social connections are happier than those driven by pressure, guilt,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: or the need to please others. So basically, if you're
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: training for a race because you love running and you
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: enjoy the camaraderie of training and working out with other runners,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: then you're probably going to feel great. But if you're
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: doing it to avoid feeling guilty or to meet someone
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: else's expectations, it won't bring you the same joy. That
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: makes sense, So next time you're setting a goal, ask yourself,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: am I doing this for me or for someone else?
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Your happiness and I guess the overall outcome of it
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: for you personally could depend on it. So there's that
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: gen Z's love of British shows like Love Island and
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Adolescence is having a surprising effect. They're adopting British slaying
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: bonkers as the latest fast growing British slang word in
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: the US, according to research by Northern Arizona University and
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Language at Babbel, Words like q instead of lyne, wonky, cheeky, cheers, bugger,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: posh are also growing in popularity. It feels weird saying
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: some of those words bugger. Of course you have to
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: add the pronunciation to it, which I'm much more familiar
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: and comfortable with the Australian just by dropping the r
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: on it and it's bugger. That's the Australian way, and
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I'm not putting the full emphasis in it. But they
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: don't say, you know, bugger, they say bugger. I didn't
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: realize bonkers was I thought bonkers has been around for
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: a long time and it's American. I didn't know that
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: was a British thing. So when did that become a
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: thing to be British? I didn't Did they take that
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: from us? Didn't we fight a war for bonkers? I
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: don't know. I didn't realize that bonkers was something that anyway,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: and some of those others cheeky. I know that's certainly
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: a British thing, and cheers and all those sorts of things,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: but I didn't know posh was something that would be
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: exclusively British. I thought that we said that here as well.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: I didn't know Q for Lyne. Obviously that sounds Weirdlyft
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: isn't on the list, but that's another one that you're
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: more likely to hear, or a flat for an apartment,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: of those sorts of things, but I would imagine those
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: could probably also pop up, all right. Pat Dreamer of
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Kentucky celebrated her ninety fifth birthday last week and received
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: a card from a lifelong friend, Mary Wheaton, which is expected.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: It's the same card the two friends have been sending
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: to each other on their birthday since they were fourteen.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Each time one receives it, they signed their name with
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: the current year and then get ready to send it
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: back to the other. The streak has earned Againness World
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: record for longest greeting car exchange. It's a nice thing.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, it really is. I have a friend we
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: did that probably, I guess high school age, maybe slightly
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: beyond high school. We sent cards back and forth a
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: little bit. Maybe the same card didn't last anything like that,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: of course, And little did we know way back then
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: that that was a thing, back in the days when
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: you didn't constantly have the Internet to tell you everything
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: all the time. Well, apparently we're in the golden age
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: of robot lawnmowers. There's a new one called the Segue
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Navimo X three, Super Smart, Super Powerful. The X three
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: using AI generated and enhanced algorithms to cut along boundaries
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: of lawns up to two and a half acres. It
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: also has a three hundred degree wide angle camera that
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: navigates complex landscapes, avoids obstacles. It's not cheap though, price
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: rang just between twenty three hundred and five thousand dollars.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: I think about it like this. If you're gonna spend
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: five thousand dollars on a mower, the question, I think becomes,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: how what's the longevity on this thing? How long is
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: it gonna last? Certainly, the thought of being able to
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: just let it go, I think you still have to
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: supervise them. I don't think you can just turn them
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: loose and let them just mow the grass. You don't
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: know what's gonna happen. But if you can sit there
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: and enjoy a beverage while it does all the mowing,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: that's that's certainly got an interesting I don't five grand
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: just seems like a lot for that. It's a lot.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: I just don't know if it's if it's gonna last
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: one year, two years. I need to know the lifespan
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: on this thing before I can think about making any
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: kind of an investment of twenty three hundred to five
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: grand for a mower. I mean, it was a big
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: deal just for us to buy the you know, the
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: the robot vacuum cleaner. I mean that was a big
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: step for us in the Carroll House. You know, I
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: just need to know how long is it gonna last?
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Now that we've got some Now that we've got some time,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: I feel like we could make that investment. And then
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: we did, and I even got it very much on sale.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: But the point is, I need to know how long.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I told you yesterday, I told you yesterday. I'm one
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: of these thrift people. I got a trying to retire
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: before I'm eighty five. That's my goal. That'll do it
• 26:25
