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: Wednesday morning, seventeenth day of September. I'm West Thanks for
0:17
Speaker 2: joining me. We continue on into this week after the
0:26
Speaker 2: week that Charlie Kirk was assassinated, and we're still trying
0:29
Speaker 2: to make some sense of any of it, and there's
0:32
Speaker 2: no sense to be made of it. It was a senseless,
0:36
Speaker 2: hateful crime. We're learning more about the accused killer. We're
0:43
Speaker 2: learning more about his trans girlfriend, biological mail that he
0:50
Speaker 2: was apparently affectionately referred to as my love. That's a
0:57
Speaker 2: little bit more than we knew before or learned something
1:00
Speaker 2: else about this relationship. One of the things that continues
1:07
Speaker 2: to amaze me is that we are still seeing folks
1:17
Speaker 2: on the left defending not just the shooting, but also
1:23
Speaker 2: making the accusations that this killer, accused killer, Tyler Robinson.
1:31
Speaker 2: I haven't said his name much. I'm not big on
1:33
Speaker 2: saying the names.
1:34
Speaker 3: Of these people.
1:37
Speaker 2: Who, apparently, according to new text messages that we can
1:40
Speaker 2: we'll get to the text message in a minute, but
1:42
Speaker 2: apparently thought that he.
1:43
Speaker 3: Was going to get away with this and was going.
1:46
Speaker 2: To be able to take it to his grave. That
1:50
Speaker 2: was part of his hope, his intentions. Apparently that he
1:53
Speaker 2: expressed that to his love, his pet name for his
1:59
Speaker 2: trand live in girlfriend boyfriend. You know, I've talked at
2:06
Speaker 2: great length over the years about trying to have some
2:09
Speaker 2: sensitivity to all of these things. I've expressed many times
2:15
Speaker 2: that I grew up with someone who was biologically born
2:21
Speaker 2: a male, very feminine in childhood, someone that we knew
2:28
Speaker 2: to be very feminine, someone that when we learned later
2:31
Speaker 2: this was someone who was, you know, not attracted to girls,
2:35
Speaker 2: but attracted to boys. No one was surprised. This wasn't
2:40
Speaker 2: one of those things that we went, oh, my gosh,
2:41
Speaker 2: I can't believe it.
2:42
Speaker 3: It just was kind of like.
2:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then found out, you know, in adulthood that
2:48
Speaker 2: this person who, as I've stressed many times before, was
2:53
Speaker 2: always extremely nice to me in childhood, this was a
2:58
Speaker 2: sibling of one of my brother's close friends. And therefore,
3:07
Speaker 2: you know, how you know that situation that you're in.
3:08
Speaker 2: Often when you're when you're growing up, your parents have friends,
3:14
Speaker 2: and basically the kids of your parents' friends or become
3:19
Speaker 2: your friends or people that you spend time with and
3:23
Speaker 2: my brother was very close with the child of this
3:27
Speaker 2: family who was his age. The older brother is the
3:31
Speaker 2: one that I'm referring to in this scenario. And this
3:35
Speaker 2: older brother who you know, there'd be times where the
3:39
Speaker 2: families would be together. I would be, you know, in
3:42
Speaker 2: the living room of whichever house may be at their house,
3:46
Speaker 2: playing with my Star Wars toys, and my younger brother
3:50
Speaker 2: and I would be doing that, and you know, parents
3:54
Speaker 2: are off to the side.
3:55
Speaker 3: They're having dinner or having you know.
3:57
Speaker 2: Just conversation to the side, and my older brother other
4:01
Speaker 2: and his friend would be off, you know, outside tossing
4:04
Speaker 2: a football around or whatever. So here's me maybe with
4:07
Speaker 2: my Star Wars toys. And then this older sibling and
4:11
Speaker 2: you know, would come in and would talk with me
4:14
Speaker 2: and talk about Star Wars.
4:15
Speaker 3: And I don't think he.
4:17
Speaker 2: Really liked Star Wars. I just think he was, you know,
4:21
Speaker 2: being a nice person to me. I have fond memories
4:24
Speaker 2: of this person. We weren't close by any means, but
4:28
Speaker 2: it was someone who treated me. You know, when your
4:31
Speaker 2: friend's older sibling treats you nicely as your kid, you
4:35
Speaker 2: appreciate that. It stands out to you. There was nothing
4:38
Speaker 2: inappropriate there was nothing, ever, anything other than, hey, this
4:42
Speaker 2: is someone being nice to me. And when I found
4:46
Speaker 2: out an adulthood that this person had transitioned and was
4:50
Speaker 2: living now as a woman, and it wasn't anybody I
4:53
Speaker 2: ever kept in touch with, I just remember thinking, again,
4:57
Speaker 2: not a great surprise. But the part of you that,
5:02
Speaker 2: just as a nice human being says, well, you know,
5:05
Speaker 2: I hope that she's now happy.
5:08
Speaker 3: That was about the.
5:09
Speaker 2: Extent of it for me, and I hope the family
5:12
Speaker 2: is all, you know, happy, and that's all you want.
5:18
Speaker 2: You want for people to this is the lifestyle. This
5:22
Speaker 2: is someone wanted to live, and you want them to
5:24
Speaker 2: live that you want them to if that's what they want.
5:28
Speaker 2: The part of me that says, there's more to all
5:32
Speaker 2: of this than what we're supposed to say out loud,
5:37
Speaker 2: And you want people to be able to live the
5:42
Speaker 2: life that they choose. In this country. My faith dictates
5:46
Speaker 2: one thing, but my faith also dictates me to love everybody.
5:52
Speaker 2: But when it comes to being a citizen in this country,
5:54
Speaker 2: someone should be able to live their life however they choose,
5:58
Speaker 2: as long as they don't hurt someone else. And in
6:01
Speaker 2: this particular case of this person, I don't think anyone
6:03
Speaker 2: else was being hurt. And then I know other people
6:06
Speaker 2: that I've had contact with over the years, people, business
6:09
Speaker 2: acquaintances that transition, and I believe, in one particular case,
6:14
Speaker 2: the medications in the process claim the life of someone
6:18
Speaker 2: that I knew. This particular person was in the club
6:22
Speaker 2: of If you don't support me, and you don't vocally
6:25
Speaker 2: tell everyone you know that I'm doing this and how
6:27
Speaker 2: it's the best thing in the world and I'm right
6:29
Speaker 2: for doing it, then you're not my friend at all.
6:33
Speaker 2: And that's a line in the sand that I've never
6:35
Speaker 2: been comfortable with. Look, you want to live your life
6:38
Speaker 2: however you want to live it, and don't hurt anyone else.
6:41
Speaker 2: And even if there's a secret that you want me
6:44
Speaker 2: to keep, it's none of my business to share. Look,
6:48
Speaker 2: I don't even mind doing that for you.
6:50
Speaker 3: I don't care.
6:51
Speaker 2: I can say to you, I'm going to call you
6:54
Speaker 2: by this name, excuse me when I call you by
6:56
Speaker 2: the old name that I knew you as for most
6:59
Speaker 2: of my life. But I'm not in the business of
7:04
Speaker 2: trying to offend someone and to hurt someone's feelings. And
7:08
Speaker 2: then I know others. So there's a handful of people
7:10
Speaker 2: now that I know that are going through this process,
7:12
Speaker 2: some much too young to be going through it, And
7:15
Speaker 2: that's a whole nother issue We've got. They've got an
7:20
Speaker 2: older relative who I believe groomed them into this, and
7:24
Speaker 2: it's very disappointing when you learn all the details, and
7:28
Speaker 2: that's what's happening, and it's tearing families apart, and it's
7:31
Speaker 2: creating all these crazy situations and dynamics. You want the
7:34
Speaker 2: best for everybody, but when you got somebody who's not
7:37
Speaker 2: old enough to make these decisions and life changing decisions
7:40
Speaker 2: on their own, it starts to get really complicated. But
7:45
Speaker 2: I say all of that to say I've done my
7:48
Speaker 2: best try to be a decent and kind human being
7:51
Speaker 2: to everyone. And the more we dig into this Charlie
7:55
Speaker 2: Kirk assassination in this situation, it is hard for me,
7:58
Speaker 2: in this particular case, to go through all the pleasantries
8:02
Speaker 2: and the niceness when we're talking about what, at its
8:07
Speaker 2: core seems to be the reality of where we are
8:12
Speaker 2: as a country and as a people right now and
8:15
Speaker 2: just and again, I'm gonna still be me. I'm going
8:19
Speaker 2: to still be someone who wants to love everybody, who
8:22
Speaker 2: wants to be kind who wants to treat everybody with
8:25
Speaker 2: respect and decency, no matter what their situation is.
8:30
Speaker 3: But when we.
8:31
Speaker 2: Start digging into this thing where we're understanding what is
8:35
Speaker 2: true about these things, which is we have a group
8:40
Speaker 2: of people in this country. And I want to stress
8:45
Speaker 2: too that we're talking about back to my This has
8:49
Speaker 2: been my thing now since since this shooting happened in
8:52
Speaker 2: the days after, we're in a reality now where we
8:56
Speaker 2: have two groups.
8:57
Speaker 3: Of people in the country.
8:59
Speaker 2: It used to be more, or we used to split
9:00
Speaker 2: it into all these different groups. And I know there
9:03
Speaker 2: are subgroups to go with it, but it's important now
9:06
Speaker 2: that we acknowledge that there are two groups of people
9:09
Speaker 2: in this country, and one group is a group of people,
9:13
Speaker 2: and it doesn't matter their political affiliations, they're religious beliefs,
9:17
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter anything other than that they believe that
9:24
Speaker 2: taking a life for any reason other than self defense
9:29
Speaker 2: is wrong.
9:31
Speaker 3: Okay, we have those people.
9:35
Speaker 2: Then we have the people who think that taking a
9:38
Speaker 2: life from someone and doing it in cold blood in
9:42
Speaker 2: front of people and your family, or on the street,
9:46
Speaker 2: or just because of your profession that you work in
9:48
Speaker 2: the health industry or whatever it is, that there are
9:51
Speaker 2: people who believe that it's okay to murder someone in
9:54
Speaker 2: cold blood and it not be.
9:57
Speaker 3: In any way self defense.
10:00
Speaker 2: That's the two basic groups that we have. That's the
10:03
Speaker 2: too hardline. We've got Group A, we got Group B.
10:07
Speaker 2: Everything else. From there you can start to come up
10:12
Speaker 2: with your subgroups. And it's been disappointing to learn how
10:16
Speaker 2: many people are in Group B in my life, and
10:18
Speaker 2: I've gone through a few shows discussing that. But what
10:23
Speaker 2: we have to really dig into now is the fact
10:26
Speaker 2: that and I touched on some of this. Look, I'm
10:29
Speaker 2: not in this club that says that both sides are
10:33
Speaker 2: equally to blame for Charlie Kirk's murder, or for the
10:37
Speaker 2: United Healthcare CEO's murder.
10:39
Speaker 3: Or any of these things. I'm not in that group.
10:41
Speaker 3: I do think that.
10:44
Speaker 2: Both sides have been guilty of certain crimes in relation
10:48
Speaker 2: to some of this, and I feel like we've taken
10:53
Speaker 2: this thing where we've pushed politics to the forefront and
10:56
Speaker 2: everything else. Our decency, our humanity, and all of those
10:59
Speaker 2: things have so offered for it. But I'm not in
11:02
Speaker 2: the group that thinks that this isn't even by any
11:06
Speaker 2: by any count, There's no I don't know if specific examples.
11:13
Speaker 2: And the only one that I talked about really this
11:15
Speaker 2: week has been when we had the folks that wanted
11:20
Speaker 2: to say that Barack Obama was not going to leave
11:23
Speaker 2: the White House, he'd find a reason to stay in
11:25
Speaker 2: there and he'd never leave, and that was creating a
11:28
Speaker 2: dynamic that could have been dangerous for him.
11:33
Speaker 3: We have to own that one, not me. I never
11:36
Speaker 3: said that. I never believed that.
11:38
Speaker 2: I never thought for a minute that was going to happen.
11:41
Speaker 2: We also had the people who said the same thing
11:43
Speaker 2: about Trump, and now they're saying it about Trump again.
11:45
Speaker 2: And you know, Trump doesn't make it easy anytime he
11:48
Speaker 2: brings up well, maybe I'll run for president again even
11:50
Speaker 2: though I'm I'm out of terms. But at least if
11:56
Speaker 2: he tries to challenge you know, that law, that would
11:59
Speaker 2: be challenging a law. I'm not just saying I'm not
12:02
Speaker 2: leaving the White House. But anyway, so when we start
12:06
Speaker 2: talking about the people who make truth relative, this is
12:09
Speaker 2: where I'm going with this. And I can sit back
12:12
Speaker 2: and I can say, hey, we have a.
12:15
Speaker 3: This shooter who.
12:16
Speaker 2: Was in love with a trans woman, and I start
12:20
Speaker 2: it starts to become challenging for me. This is the
12:23
Speaker 2: area where this is all complicated, and it doesn't seem
12:31
Speaker 2: from what we know and what we've learned, at least
12:34
Speaker 2: as I'm recording this, that this trans my love, as
12:39
Speaker 2: he has referred to his trans lover in some of
12:45
Speaker 2: these text messages, is the one that radicalized him. It
12:48
Speaker 2: seems like this was all something that took place online.
12:51
Speaker 2: It took place.
12:54
Speaker 3: On Discord.
12:56
Speaker 2: By the way, this is just me talking to the
12:59
Speaker 2: parents out there, but you need to be aware of
13:02
Speaker 2: what your kids are doing online, and Discord is one
13:05
Speaker 2: of those ones that maybe slip below the radar on you.
13:08
Speaker 2: It did in our home, not in a negative detrimental way,
13:12
Speaker 2: but it's slipped below the radar with us. Our kids
13:15
Speaker 2: aren't on social media. They're not actively on any of
13:19
Speaker 2: the social media platforms. I've asked, I've got a sixteen
13:22
Speaker 2: year old now, and I've asked, hey, I know the
13:24
Speaker 2: kids that you are friends with are on there is
13:27
Speaker 2: that something that you're interested in?
13:29
Speaker 3: And he's like, no, not really. But we realized a
13:32
Speaker 3: few years ago that he.
13:33
Speaker 2: Was on Discord, and we began the it's my right
13:39
Speaker 2: as a father, it's my wife's right as your mother,
13:42
Speaker 2: to come on your Discord account at any point and
13:45
Speaker 2: read everything that you're posting and see everybody that you're
13:47
Speaker 2: talking to, every conversation, every private message, every group that
13:51
Speaker 2: you're in. And we were happy to learn he's just
13:54
Speaker 2: talking video games with people and that's it.
13:57
Speaker 3: But still got to be vigilant. We all have to.
14:01
Speaker 2: If your kids are on Discord, you need to be
14:03
Speaker 2: following up on what they're doing on Discord, who they're
14:07
Speaker 2: talking to, because there's some dangerous stuff happening, and we
14:13
Speaker 2: have people that are looking to radicalize your kids and
14:17
Speaker 2: possibly get them to do horrible things. So let's just
14:21
Speaker 2: quickly go into a couple of these things. So basically,
14:24
Speaker 2: this is according to reports, this is coming from so
14:30
Speaker 2: the roommate, Lance Twigs. I don't know what Lance Twigs's
14:35
Speaker 2: lady name is. And I'm sorry. This is not again
14:38
Speaker 2: me trying to be a complete jerk. It's just me
14:41
Speaker 2: not This is the way things have been reported, and
14:45
Speaker 2: this is a series of messages from back on the tenth.
14:49
Speaker 2: Prosecutors say that Twigs received a text message from Robinson
14:53
Speaker 2: that said, drop what you're doing, look under my keyboard.
14:56
Speaker 2: When Twigs looked under found a note that said I
14:59
Speaker 2: had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I'm
15:01
Speaker 2: going to take it. Twigs responding, what you're joking right,
15:05
Speaker 2: Robinson saying I'm still okay, my love, but I'm stuck
15:08
Speaker 2: in orum for a little while longer yet shouldn't be
15:10
Speaker 2: along till I can come home. But I grabbed my rifle. Still,
15:14
Speaker 2: to be honest, I had hoped to keep this a
15:15
Speaker 2: secret till I died of old age. I'm sorry to
15:18
Speaker 2: involve you, Twigs saying you weren't the one who did it, right,
15:21
Speaker 2: Robinson said, I am. I'm sorry. Roommate asking I thought
15:26
Speaker 2: they caught the person, Robinson saying no, they grabbed some
15:29
Speaker 2: crazy old dude that interrogated someone in similar clothing. I'd
15:33
Speaker 2: planned to grab my rifle from the drop point shortly
15:35
Speaker 2: after most of that side of town locked down. It's quiet,
15:39
Speaker 2: almost enough to get out, but there's no Sorry, there's
15:42
Speaker 2: one vehicle still lingering. Twigs asks why. Robinson says, you mean,
15:47
Speaker 2: why did I do it? Twigs says yes. Robinson said
15:51
Speaker 2: I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be
15:54
Speaker 2: negotiated out. If I'm able to grab my rifle unseen,
15:57
Speaker 2: I will have left no evidence. Going to attempt to
16:00
Speaker 2: retrieve it again. Hopefully they've moved on. I haven't seen
16:03
Speaker 2: anything about them finding it. Twiggs ask how long have
16:07
Speaker 2: you been planning this? Robinson says a bit over a week.
16:10
Speaker 2: I believe I can get closer to it. Still talking
16:13
Speaker 2: about the rifle that's the priority. But there's a squad
16:17
Speaker 2: car parked right by it. I think I already they
16:19
Speaker 2: already swept that spot, but I don't want to chance it.
16:21
Speaker 2: I'm wishing that circle back and grabbed it. I says,
16:25
Speaker 2: I'm worried about what my old man would do if
16:27
Speaker 2: I didn't bring back grandpa's rifle. I don't know if
16:31
Speaker 2: it had a serial number, but it wouldn't trace to me.
16:34
Speaker 2: I worry about Prince I had to leave, blah blah blah.
16:36
Speaker 3: So there's this whole.
16:37
Speaker 2: Then exchange about his dad wanting the rifle back and
16:42
Speaker 2: his concerns about the rifle, before he says, I'm going
16:45
Speaker 2: to turn myself to police. Since Trump got into office,
16:48
Speaker 2: my dad has been pretty die hard maga blah blah blah.
16:52
Speaker 2: So even after committing this crime, this person's focus was,
16:56
Speaker 2: you know, I did it got to get my granddad's
16:59
Speaker 2: rifle back to my dad. Shows you to disconnect from reality.
17:05
Speaker 2: And when I say that I have these concerns about this,
17:09
Speaker 2: when reality in the truth, When you're controlling what is
17:14
Speaker 2: the truth and what is reality, you're able to basically
17:24
Speaker 2: change all perceptions of everything.
17:27
Speaker 3: Right.
17:27
Speaker 2: You can change anything you don't have to be You
17:31
Speaker 2: can say that you know, biological women can be men,
17:35
Speaker 2: and biological men can be women, and therefore can be
17:38
Speaker 2: pregnant or whatever.
17:40
Speaker 3: All of those realities.
17:41
Speaker 2: And all of those hardcore things that we know to
17:44
Speaker 2: be factual in truth, and things that were considered hate
17:47
Speaker 2: speech to come from someone like a Charlie Kurt And
17:50
Speaker 2: then you realize that calling someone a fascist who's never
17:54
Speaker 2: said anything remotely fascist or done anything remotely fascist, in fact,
17:59
Speaker 2: would have said to love even trans people, or love
18:02
Speaker 2: people that have made a homosexual lifestyle or have a
18:07
Speaker 2: homosexual tendencies in their lifestyle, but would have promoted them
18:13
Speaker 2: keeping those urges under control, much like most men and
18:18
Speaker 2: most women have biological that our core urges to have
18:25
Speaker 2: sex with as many people as possible, but hopefully we
18:28
Speaker 2: keep those under control, then we do the things that
18:30
Speaker 2: we're supposed to do when it comes to controlling those urges.
18:35
Speaker 2: But if you can say things that aren't true and
18:39
Speaker 2: have this belief that anyone who disagrees with you is
18:42
Speaker 2: wrong and fascist and a liar and hateful and all
18:45
Speaker 2: of these things, then it makes it where killing them
18:50
Speaker 2: is less of a concern than getting back your grandpa's rifle.
18:55
Speaker 2: That's where we've gone off so far off course, And
19:01
Speaker 2: if we're playing along with them, we're kind of contributing
19:04
Speaker 2: to this whole cause as well, aren't we. I still
19:07
Speaker 2: maintain we have to be kind, we have to be loving,
19:11
Speaker 2: and as I told you yesterday, from the praying mantis
19:14
Speaker 2: that God sent.
19:15
Speaker 3: My way, we really really have to pray for these people.
19:17
Speaker 2: But now that charges have come along, and now that
19:21
Speaker 2: we're a little bit closer to them moving forward with
19:24
Speaker 2: all of this, again, we still have to be very
19:28
Speaker 2: vigilant about the people that are still continuing to spread hate,
19:32
Speaker 2: continuing to spread lies, and still for some reason, continuing
19:38
Speaker 2: to celebrate the cold blooded assassination of not just Kurt
19:42
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk, but again a father, a husband, the head
19:47
Speaker 2: of the CEO of a healthcare company, and people still
19:51
Speaker 2: defending the person who did it because they've come up
19:56
Speaker 2: with some justification in this world of falsehoods and lies
19:59
Speaker 2: that they think somehow justifies killing someone in cold blood.

Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
22:16
Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
22:18
Speaker 2: they're there you can always ask them questions about some
22:21
Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
22:23
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
22:27
Speaker 2: you want it to be, and you need some repair
22:30
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
22:32
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
22:36
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
22:39
Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or
22:42
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
22:46
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
22:49
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
22:52
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
22:54
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know,
22:58
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
23:00
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
23:03
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
23:05
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
23:07
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
23:11
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
23:13
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
23:16
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, And they do
23:19
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five
23:22
Speaker 2: hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred
23:26
Speaker 2: o dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
23:30
Speaker 2: after the break. So reading aloud can be stressful for kids,
23:43
Speaker 2: especially kids not with a lot of confidence and if
23:46
Speaker 2: they're worried about messing up in front of others. But
23:49
Speaker 2: there's a new study that says social robots could be
23:53
Speaker 2: the answer to help easing the anxiety. Researchers found when
23:57
Speaker 2: children read to a robot that's named Misty, the kids
24:01
Speaker 2: had a calmer heart rate, steadier voices, and cooler facial
24:05
Speaker 2: temperatures compared to reading to an adult human. One student
24:10
Speaker 2: in the study said, even when I made a mistake,
24:14
Speaker 2: I knew that Misty.
24:16
Speaker 3: Couldn't be mad at me. So how about that?
24:18
Speaker 2: A proposal by SpaceX includes launching up to forty four
24:22
Speaker 2: Starship rockets each year from Cape Canaveral in Florida. Of course,
24:26
Speaker 2: there's always some political fighting with stuff like this, especially
24:30
Speaker 2: when you get somebody who is, you know, a high
24:34
Speaker 2: profile person who helped Trump get elected, like Elon Musk. Well,
24:39
Speaker 2: now nudists are joining the fight because ply Alinda Beach,
24:44
Speaker 2: a clothing optional spot near Kennedy Space Center. I could
24:48
Speaker 2: see frequent closures and noise disruptions, so I would say,
24:55
Speaker 2: you know, pack up your clothes and go somewhere else.
24:58
Speaker 2: But obviously this would just be go somewhere else. I
25:00
Speaker 2: guess right. A rare Pikachu Illustrator Pokemon card just sold
25:06
Speaker 2: for a staggering four million dollars on eBay, making it
25:09
Speaker 2: one of the most expensive trading cards ever. Originally awarded
25:13
Speaker 2: to winners of a nineteen ninety eight Japanese illustration contest,
25:16
Speaker 2: only a handful of the cards exist, making it the
25:19
Speaker 2: holy grail for serious Pokemon collectors or I guess any kind.
25:24
Speaker 3: Of card collectors for that matter.
25:27
Speaker 2: Clearly, Pokemon fever is still going strong decades later. So
25:31
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're gonna catch them, all, that means
25:36
Speaker 2: you got to catch this one, right, I mean, this
25:39
Speaker 2: is part of the all, isn't it. So if you're
25:42
Speaker 2: gonna do it, gotta catch this one.
25:46
Speaker 3: Four million bucks?
25:47
Speaker 2: Well, all right. Women apparently now have been using chat
25:52
Speaker 2: GPT more than men, and according to the new Open
25:56
Speaker 2: AI Economic Report, that's pretty amazing shift in the AI space.
26:00
Speaker 2: In fact, right after its release, chat GPT estimated that
26:04
Speaker 2: eighty percent of initial users were mail. Based on the data,
26:08
Speaker 2: people were mainly using chat, GPT for help with everyday tasks,
26:12
Speaker 2: information searches, and writing assistants. Specialized use though, like for coding,
26:18
Speaker 2: has happening much less frequently, and using AI as a
26:21
Speaker 2: companion or virtual therapist, accounts for it less than two percent.
26:26
Speaker 3: Of all chats.
26:27
Speaker 2: So as much as we're hearing about that happening more
26:30
Speaker 2: and more, if it's only accounting for about two percent
26:33
Speaker 2: of chats, so, and I don't know how much you've
26:37
Speaker 2: experimented with any of these things, but that was one
26:40
Speaker 2: that I kind of went through and had a bit
26:43
Speaker 2: of a fake chat with one of the actually two,
26:46
Speaker 2: there were two different ones. I used GROC as well,
26:49
Speaker 2: and I was just trying to see where the conversation
26:51
Speaker 2: would go as I was entering in info with it
26:54
Speaker 2: and I wasn't literally talking with it. I know some
26:57
Speaker 2: people are doing that version of it, but it's kind
27:00
Speaker 2: of interesting just to see where the conversation would go.
27:03
Speaker 2: And I was surprised at some of the responses. So,
27:06
Speaker 2: all right, latest obsession among gen zers, they say, is
27:10
Speaker 2: smell maxing, major boom in the perfume industry as it's
27:16
Speaker 2: moving ahead. The ideas about maximizing your scent game, often
27:20
Speaker 2: by layering multiple fragrances to create a unique personal scent.
27:26
Speaker 3: I got a personal cent doesn't involve a little layering either.
27:32
Speaker 2: The trend is it sorry? The trend has exploded thanks
27:35
Speaker 2: to TikTok's perfume talk hashtag perfume talk I Guess, which
27:40
Speaker 2: is racked.
27:41
Speaker 3: Up over nine billion views.
27:42
Speaker 2: Young people, especially teenage boys, ditching basic body sprays like
27:46
Speaker 2: Acts thank Goodness and investing in high end colognes. In fact,
27:50
Speaker 2: perfume spending in that group jump twenty six percent in
27:53
Speaker 2: the last year. Many are even buying fragrances online without
27:57
Speaker 2: ever smelling them first, relying on influences who were telling
28:02
Speaker 2: them this is what you should be smelling like. Luxury
28:05
Speaker 2: brands like Dior and Chanelle are now competing with indie
28:08
Speaker 2: perfumers who are just pushing creative boundaries. Some of the
28:12
Speaker 2: niche scents are super edgy, and so think like dead
28:18
Speaker 2: trees or water stained motels. Why would you want to
28:21
Speaker 2: smell like a water tan to stain motille. So perfume
28:25
Speaker 2: no longer just about smelling nice. It's about self expression.
28:28
Speaker 2: That's the basic idea. British couple has gone viral for
28:31
Speaker 2: putting a unique twist on wedding gifts. Chris Martin and
28:34
Speaker 2: Tasha White finally decided to get married after being together
28:36
Speaker 2: for fourteen years, and since they were a long established
28:40
Speaker 2: couple with two young kids, they already had a home
28:43
Speaker 2: and everything they needed. They decided they had no use
28:45
Speaker 2: for toasters and candlesticks or kitchen gadgets, so they told
28:49
Speaker 2: guests not to bring gifts. Instead, they placed a card
28:52
Speaker 2: reader at their reception and ask guests to contribute to
28:56
Speaker 2: their honeymoon with a sign that read it don't be tight,
28:59
Speaker 2: pay for our light. Turns out, the guests thought it
29:03
Speaker 2: was really great and ended up being very generous. The
29:05
Speaker 2: couple thinks that the idea could catch on at more weddings.
29:11
Speaker 2: It's not a bad idea, and I think if you
29:13
Speaker 2: feel like you're actually being a part of making their
29:16
Speaker 2: dream honeymoon or dream vacation type thing happen.
29:19
Speaker 3: So there you go.
29:21
Speaker 2: All right, that'll do it for this Wednesday edition of
29:23
Speaker 2: the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you
