- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, twentieth day of November. I'm west thanks for
- 0:13Speaker 2: joining me. We're eight days from Thanksgiving. You're ready, You're prepared,
- 0:18Speaker 2: You got your you know, frozen turkey already. Whatever your yams?
- 0:26Speaker 2: What is the regional situation on the yams versus sweet potatoes?
- 0:30Speaker 2: You know there's a discussion that has to be you know,
- 0:34Speaker 2: there's a line where that discussion changes. You know, the coke,
- 0:38Speaker 2: pop sneakers, tennis shoes, there's all those, you know, or
- 0:42Speaker 2: this I guess in Charlotte they call it pepsi and
- 0:45Speaker 2: not coke. I don't know, that's what I heard. I
- 0:47Speaker 2: don't know if that's true. Who knows, who knows about
- 0:50Speaker 2: those things. I hope you're getting set though. I hope
- 0:54Speaker 2: you're getting ready. And I've noticed too that the Black
- 0:58Speaker 2: Friday stuff has started much much sooner, like much sooner.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Already places talking about Black Friday. I don't I understand
- 1:09Speaker 2: things change. It's you know, you don't have to have
- 1:13Speaker 2: like appointment TV anymore. You don't have to say, you know,
- 1:17Speaker 2: it's it's time for It's Sunday night. It's time for
- 1:20Speaker 2: you know, like The Walking Dead. You know, you don't
- 1:22Speaker 2: have to do that anymore, Like that's not now. You
- 1:25Speaker 2: just watch it whenever you get around to it. You
- 1:27Speaker 2: let all the episodes of you know, the Penguin build up,
- 1:31Speaker 2: and then you watch them. I was just talking with
- 1:32Speaker 2: a friend the other day about that, and he's like,
- 1:34Speaker 2: I'll wait until they were all available, and then I
- 1:36Speaker 2: just went through all of them, and you know, I
- 1:38Speaker 2: had started it and was kind of slowly getting there,
- 1:41Speaker 2: so I knew you get down to the last couple
- 1:44Speaker 2: of episodes and then you want to just you know,
- 1:47Speaker 2: plow through them or whatever. Now those shows still sort
- 1:50Speaker 2: of happen on their appointed day, but then you know,
- 1:55Speaker 2: it's just a changing trend of times. And so now
- 1:59Speaker 2: they can have Black Friday whenever they feel like. It's. No,
- 2:04Speaker 2: you don't have to have Black Friday on any particular day.
- 2:08Speaker 2: It doesn't even have to be Friday. You just have
- 2:10Speaker 2: say it's a Black Friday sale, it's a Black Friday deal.
- 2:13Speaker 2: And I know some of them are doing that today.
- 2:15Speaker 2: I guess they've kicked them off. Maybe for an Amazon
- 2:18Speaker 2: or some of those places. They're getting into it big time. Actually,
- 2:23Speaker 2: this year, and it's not I've not really done much
- 2:27Speaker 2: of the Black Friday shopping for gifts. Typically, there's not
- 2:33Speaker 2: really usually something on a gift list for somebody that
- 2:37Speaker 2: I know on Black Friday. I have shopped for myself
- 2:41Speaker 2: or shop for something that we sort of need as
- 2:43Speaker 2: a family. There's one particular item that we're in need
- 2:45Speaker 2: of here in the Carroll House, and we're keeping an
- 2:49Speaker 2: eye on the Black Friday sales and things. Maybe it's Walmart,
- 2:53Speaker 2: one of them's doing it already, once kicked it off already.
- 2:57Speaker 2: But anyway, so I hope you're you know, taking advantage
- 3:01Speaker 2: of you know, just just check. You want to make
- 3:03Speaker 2: sure that whatever you're buying at the Black Friday price
- 3:08Speaker 2: wasn't that same price like four weeks ago, and then
- 3:10Speaker 2: they marked it up for a couple of weeks, just
- 3:12Speaker 2: so they could tell you that it's now on sale
- 3:14Speaker 2: and you could have bought it four weeks ago. Because
- 3:16Speaker 2: that's one of the things that apparently happens quite a bit.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Let's jump into a couple things I want to talk
- 3:22Speaker 2: about this. Yesterday, there was this poll that was done
- 3:27Speaker 2: on who was the likely front runner for the Democratic
- 3:34Speaker 2: nomination for president in twenty twenty eight. Now, I know
- 3:39Speaker 2: that this is just one of those conversations you have
- 3:41Speaker 2: after this really you know, almost historically bad loss. It
- 3:47Speaker 2: was historic in different ways. I don't know, the loss
- 3:49Speaker 2: wasn't historic necessarily you have to go back to the
- 3:52Speaker 2: Reagan you know, forty nine states when to say you
- 3:57Speaker 2: have a historic loss. But this is one of those
- 4:01Speaker 2: things where because that's the losing side, there's conversation about
- 4:06Speaker 2: what the future means for them, where are they going
- 4:08Speaker 2: with things? I understand that. I just would like to
- 4:12Speaker 2: point out the fact that the right could also start
- 4:16Speaker 2: the same thing. Who are the likely and the likely
- 4:21Speaker 2: possible person to emerge and be the Republican nominee? So
- 4:27Speaker 2: this is a conversation that both sides can have, although
- 4:31Speaker 2: typically you kind of let the party in power that
- 4:33Speaker 2: things play out. You would think that JD. Vance would
- 4:38Speaker 2: certainly have a possible you know, be a strong contender
- 4:42Speaker 2: for it, depending on how he does his VP, depending
- 4:45Speaker 2: on what his relationship with Trump is like, depending on
- 4:48Speaker 2: where things I suspect and I don't know. I can't
- 4:51Speaker 2: tell you anything. I got no insider info on this,
- 4:55Speaker 2: not yet anyway. But I can tell you this, I
- 4:59Speaker 2: think my opinion is that this will be a very
- 5:03Speaker 2: different President Trump once he gets in. I don't know
- 5:07Speaker 2: that he's going to butt heads with as many people.
- 5:10Speaker 2: I may be dead wrong. I think that there are
- 5:13Speaker 2: going to be some people that he probably will need
- 5:15Speaker 2: to butt heads with. He talked about on the Joe
- 5:20Speaker 2: Rogan Experience podcast, in which he did a great job
- 5:23Speaker 2: on that. But I thought he did a great job
- 5:27Speaker 2: explaining some of the complications with the people that he
- 5:30Speaker 2: butted heads with in the first administration and the conflict
- 5:34Speaker 2: and problems that he ran into there, basically saying, look,
- 5:38Speaker 2: I got there, I didn't realize how many people I
- 5:40Speaker 2: was going to have to appoint. You know, more than
- 5:42Speaker 2: a thousand people that you got to appoint. And you
- 5:44Speaker 2: have to trust that people are going to, you know,
- 5:50Speaker 2: give you the right information. There are people around you.
- 5:52Speaker 2: You got to trust them because you can't walk in
- 5:54Speaker 2: the door. I mean right now. You think about if
- 5:58Speaker 2: there's a position available where you work and the person
- 6:02Speaker 2: in charge if it's not you, if someone else is
- 6:05Speaker 2: in charge and they came to you and they said, hey,
- 6:08Speaker 2: we want you to hire somebody for this position. It
- 6:11Speaker 2: can be anybody, preferably somebody maybe that you know or
- 6:15Speaker 2: that you know to be a good employee, and it's
- 6:18Speaker 2: completely up to you to go and hire them. You
- 6:22Speaker 2: could probably think of someone that you know that you thought, man,
- 6:24Speaker 2: I'd like to work with this person, or they're looking
- 6:26Speaker 2: for a job, or they have a situation where you
- 6:29Speaker 2: know they could use you know, this this career change
- 6:33Speaker 2: or any of those things. And then if it was like,
- 6:35Speaker 2: well you need to hire two people, Okay, well maybe
- 6:38Speaker 2: you could think about two people that could fill a
- 6:40Speaker 2: couple of jobs. If I asked you to fill fifteen
- 6:43Speaker 2: hundred jobs, you probably would come up short. You'd probably
- 6:48Speaker 2: be struggling to come up with fifteen hundred names of
- 6:51Speaker 2: people to fill all of the jobs. I would think
- 6:55Speaker 2: that would be a difficult challenge. And that's what he was,
- 6:58Speaker 2: you know, he faced that as he walked in the door,
- 7:00Speaker 2: and he said, look, I trusted people. There were people
- 7:02Speaker 2: there advising me, and they weren't good people. They didn't
- 7:07Speaker 2: need to be there much less the people they were
- 7:08Speaker 2: recommending that I bring in to be advisors and help
- 7:12Speaker 2: and those sorts of things. So you know, I think
- 7:17Speaker 2: maybe he'll do it a little better this time. I
- 7:20Speaker 2: think there's a possibility of that. Anyway, back to the
- 7:24Speaker 2: poll about the Democrats, So they're looking ahead to twenty
- 7:27Speaker 2: twenty eight and they're trying to figure out who is
- 7:30Speaker 2: the likely candidate for president, and it may surprise you
- 7:36Speaker 2: that the pick is none other than Kamala Harris. That's
- 7:42Speaker 2: the pick with a commanding lead. It's still early. It's
- 7:46Speaker 2: very early. I mean, technically we're not even in the
- 7:49Speaker 2: next phase of it yet. It's still very early. And
- 7:53Speaker 2: I guess when you become the nominee, you become the
- 7:56Speaker 2: head of the party, right, so technically that's her role
- 7:58Speaker 2: even if she didn't win the White House. But I
- 8:00Speaker 2: don't know of anybody that's really looking at her as
- 8:02Speaker 2: you know, being the head of the party, or she'd
- 8:04Speaker 2: be the head of the party once Biden resigns, I guess.
- 8:08Speaker 2: I don't know the formality of how that works. But
- 8:12Speaker 2: so in second place was Gavin Newsom, Pete Boudhajeedge was
- 8:18Speaker 2: in there. A Shapiro I think was third, Josh Shapiro
- 8:23Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania, which kind of surprised me. I thought he
- 8:25Speaker 2: probably would be the one, maybe in that second spot,
- 8:28Speaker 2: or even really should probably be the one in the
- 8:30Speaker 2: top spot, and then in fifth place was Tim Waaltz,
- 8:34Speaker 2: which is kind of a joke because that was a
- 8:38Speaker 2: disaster of a pick in the VP slot. There was nothing.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Nothing about him screamed presidential, nothing at all. The only
- 8:50Speaker 2: thing that I would say that maybe you could justify
- 8:54Speaker 2: and you could say, well, is that his You know,
- 8:57Speaker 2: his secrets, his skeleton in his claset are out. We
- 9:01Speaker 2: know where he served and didn't serve in the wartime
- 9:05Speaker 2: situations he wasn't in. We saw video of him not
- 9:08Speaker 2: knowing really how to handle a gun and trying to
- 9:10Speaker 2: be in every man, but he didn't really know how
- 9:12Speaker 2: to handle a shotgun. You know. We know all those things.
- 9:17Speaker 2: We know all of the awards that he claimed that
- 9:19Speaker 2: he won that he really didn't win, and those sorts
- 9:21Speaker 2: of things. So I think we got a pretty good
- 9:23Speaker 2: idea of who he is. Maybe that's the selling point.
- 9:26Speaker 2: You know, he doesn't have anything to come out, nothing
- 9:29Speaker 2: to be exposed. So what does this say about the left?
- 9:33Speaker 2: It says they have no bench. It says that they
- 9:36Speaker 2: did not have a bench. This is a good indication
- 9:38Speaker 2: of how Kamala Harris was just sort of chosen to
- 9:41Speaker 2: be the pick, because right now, even after it's over,
- 9:45Speaker 2: even after a disastrous loss. And you know, I didn't
- 9:51Speaker 2: point this out about Walls either. He didn't even win
- 9:53Speaker 2: his home county in his state, and at one point
- 9:57Speaker 2: there was a question about whether he would even win
- 10:00Speaker 2: his state, whether he would win Minnesota. But anyway, so
- 10:04Speaker 2: this is a pretty good indicator that there's no bench.
- 10:07Speaker 2: I mean, some of these names are the names that
- 10:11Speaker 2: you might expect. And at least i'd say two of them,
- 10:18Speaker 2: maybe three, I don't know, were names that came up
- 10:21Speaker 2: as potential, you know, picks, if you know it wasn't Harris,
- 10:26Speaker 2: I mean, Josh Shapiro's name was floated around. Certainly, Gavin
- 10:31Speaker 2: Newsom's name was Gavin Newsom. I always feel like bringing
- 10:35Speaker 2: this up again any opportunity that we get to say this,
- 10:38Speaker 2: because a lot of people say, man, that dude looks
- 10:40Speaker 2: he actually physically looks just like you know, maybe the
- 10:47Speaker 2: devil incarnate, good looking guy. He just has that look
- 10:51Speaker 2: about him. He's got that smile, he's got that charm.
- 10:55Speaker 2: There's just something that snake oil salesman look about him. Now,
- 11:00Speaker 2: I don't presume he's actually the devil. I don't mean
- 11:02Speaker 2: to say that He's probably a nice human being outside
- 11:06Speaker 2: of being a terrible governor and a potentially terrible candidate
- 11:10Speaker 2: for president. But I don't know. Maybe that kind of
- 11:13Speaker 2: slick snake oil salesman thing would be an appeal for
- 11:17Speaker 2: him as a candidate. I don't know. I do think
- 11:20Speaker 2: that's who they wanted it to be. On the left,
- 11:23Speaker 2: I think that they wanted Trump out, and I think
- 11:25Speaker 2: they would have been happy with a number of people
- 11:28Speaker 2: on the right filling in in the role for Trump.
- 11:31Speaker 2: I think that they would have loved to see a
- 11:34Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis race. I think that's what
- 11:39Speaker 2: they wanted. I've told you that many many times. But
- 11:43Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom was so preparing to be the candidate that
- 11:47Speaker 2: there was a point very early in the Biden administration,
- 11:51Speaker 2: very early on, like in the first six months, I
- 11:53Speaker 2: think that Biden was out of the country, maybe the
- 11:57Speaker 2: first time he was out of the country, and Gavin
- 11:59Speaker 2: newso some point to the White House, flew from California
- 12:02Speaker 2: to the White House. The President's not even there, and
- 12:06Speaker 2: they took him around and they took photos of him
- 12:08Speaker 2: in various presidential situations, sitting at the desk, walking around,
- 12:15Speaker 2: just getting some photos of him, not like like a tourist,
- 12:18Speaker 2: except you know, I need to look presidential. I need
- 12:22Speaker 2: people to see me and know that this is something
- 12:25Speaker 2: that someday I could be doing in case we need
- 12:27Speaker 2: this for any you know, campaign pictures and things. The
- 12:31Speaker 2: pictures cagy they finally came out. I heard about them,
- 12:34Speaker 2: and then I saw them, and then suddenly there was
- 12:37Speaker 2: a story about them, and I thought, Okay, these are
- 12:39Speaker 2: those pictures that people were talking about, or at least
- 12:41Speaker 2: I had someone that told me about it kind of
- 12:43Speaker 2: early on. I do want to quickly change gears because
- 12:48Speaker 2: and that's just an indicator of how bad I mean.
- 12:50Speaker 2: I feel like it won't be any of those people.
- 12:52Speaker 2: That's my that's my gut is that it won't be
- 12:55Speaker 2: any of them. I definitely think Boodhaj Edge and Walls
- 12:57Speaker 2: are out. Harris may stick around. I can't imagine that
- 13:01Speaker 2: that's going to end up being. I don't know that
- 13:03Speaker 2: she can win a primary. Changing gears just very quickly.
- 13:06Speaker 2: I want to talk about this. Pennsylvania Supreme Court says
- 13:09Speaker 2: that the invalid ballots cannot be counted. We have had
- 13:16Speaker 2: this situation for the Senate seat, and it's really it's
- 13:23Speaker 2: become quite embarrassing that ballots that didn't have the right date,
- 13:27Speaker 2: didn't have the right seat. There were all these various
- 13:29Speaker 2: things that disqualified these ballots, and they just kind of
- 13:32Speaker 2: came out. They had folks there saying, look, we're going
- 13:36Speaker 2: to count them anyway. We're going to count the ballots.
- 13:40Speaker 2: We're going to count invalid ballots because every vote should count.
- 13:45Speaker 2: If you know anyone at all in your life who
- 13:50Speaker 2: asks you that maybe a vote's on the left or
- 13:52Speaker 2: even votes on the riot and says, I don't know
- 13:54Speaker 2: how you people could think that the last election with
- 13:56Speaker 2: Trump and Biden in twenty twenty wasn't And if you
- 14:03Speaker 2: don't understand how the you know, if you personally feel
- 14:08Speaker 2: that way, and they don't understand how you can think that, Man,
- 14:11Speaker 2: there were a bunch of ballots cast that were counted
- 14:13Speaker 2: that shouldn't have been counted. Here's your proof. I mean, yes,
- 14:17Speaker 2: this is a different election. But if you've got someone saying, hey,
- 14:21Speaker 2: these votes have to count, even though they're invalid, they
- 14:24Speaker 2: still have to count. We have to count them because
- 14:27Speaker 2: every vote has to be counted, that's your proof. That's
- 14:31Speaker 2: your proof that this is a mindset and Pennsylvania is
- 14:35Speaker 2: one of those states where people were questioning the validity
- 14:37Speaker 2: of all of the ballots that were counted, and it
- 14:41Speaker 2: was a critical state when it came down the stretch.
- 14:46Speaker 2: And I just think, you know, some states tune things
- 14:50Speaker 2: up a little bit. Some states like Georgia said we're
- 14:52Speaker 2: gonna make it harder for people to cheat. We're gonna
- 14:54Speaker 2: make it easier for people to vote. Georgia had their
- 14:57Speaker 2: stuff together this time. Congratulate. Way to go, Georgia, Congratulations,
- 15:01Speaker 2: that's the way you do it. I had no doubt
- 15:04Speaker 2: once once the governor, once our secretary of state said
- 15:07Speaker 2: we're going to do this. We're gonna make it better.
- 15:09Speaker 2: We're gonna make it easier. Are the lawmakers in Georgia
- 15:11Speaker 2: they got together, they said, we're going to make this
- 15:13Speaker 2: easier better. People are going to make fun of it.
- 15:16Speaker 2: That's fine, Larry David, do your thing. But yes, still
- 15:20Speaker 2: have states didn't take those procedures and were prepared to
- 15:23Speaker 2: count whatever votes they could find as late in the
- 15:26Speaker 2: game as possible because they're struggling to hang on to
- 15:29Speaker 2: a Senate seat that they lost. It's over, it's been called,
- 15:32Speaker 2: it's done. Recounts have been done. You can't keep doing recounts.
- 15:37Speaker 2: You can't just keep doing it over and over and over.
- 15:41Speaker 2: You lost. You can't count ballots that are invalid. And
- 15:46Speaker 2: now the Supreme Court in the state says so as well.
- 15:48Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State Universities Coca

- 19:16Speaker 2: the break already you familiar with being snow globed? Do
- 19:29Speaker 2: you know what this term means? So it says if
- 19:33Speaker 2: your new significant other has started to get a little
- 19:37Speaker 2: bit closer during the holiday season, that's the beginning, right
- 19:41Speaker 2: you say, Okay, well, that's the start of this whole process.
- 19:44Speaker 2: And according to some relationship experts, they say you should
- 19:47Speaker 2: maybe worry if that starts to happen over the holidays
- 19:50Speaker 2: because you could be snow globed. This relationship expert minor B.
- 19:57Speaker 2: I don't know what the bee stands for, I says,
- 19:59Speaker 2: snow globing is dating a dating trend during the holiday
- 20:02Speaker 2: season when a person engages in loving acts and appears
- 20:04Speaker 2: to want to become more serious with their partner. Then
- 20:07Speaker 2: they disengage, retreat, or change their behavior after the holidays
- 20:10Speaker 2: are over. So just be aware. I don't know why
- 20:13Speaker 2: it's called a snow globe. I don't know. I guess
- 20:15Speaker 2: because it's a thoughtful gift. Is that why you want
- 20:17Speaker 2: to do something nice for somebody. When I first saw it,
- 20:21Speaker 2: I have a little bit of a sort of a
- 20:24Speaker 2: trauma when it comes to snow globes. I tried to
- 20:28Speaker 2: give one to my bride years ago. I bought one
- 20:33Speaker 2: and it was still all wrapped up in paper and
- 20:36Speaker 2: everything to protect it, and I had it in a
- 20:39Speaker 2: safe place, and it's somehow before I wrapped it, and
- 20:41Speaker 2: it somehow broke shattered, and that water went everywhere, and
- 20:45Speaker 2: the glitter and all the snow and all the stuff.
- 20:48Speaker 2: So I went and got another one, and then that
- 20:50Speaker 2: one broke, and then I just finally gave up. It
- 20:54Speaker 2: was like I'm done. And then one of the years
- 20:57Speaker 2: of doing The Nutcracker a few years ago as Mother Ginger,
- 21:02Speaker 2: Get your tickets now, by the way, December seventh and
- 21:04Speaker 2: eighth at the Rivercenter Rivercenter dot Org. Get your tickets there,

- 21:09Speaker 2: December seventh, evening show December eighth. Matinee, one of the
- 21:16Speaker 2: girls in the show who played one of the pauls
- 21:19Speaker 2: Chanel's It's one of the girls that I'm teamed up
- 21:21Speaker 2: with that dances comes out of the dress. She was
- 21:25Speaker 2: one of the older girls that was in the show,
- 21:28Speaker 2: and she as a gift at the end. You were
- 21:32Speaker 2: so nice here, I want to give you this, And
- 21:33Speaker 2: she gave me this little small snow globe and it
- 21:37Speaker 2: was so it was so thoughtful. It had a little
- 21:39Speaker 2: ginger bread man and it was you know, it wasn't
- 21:41Speaker 2: mother Ginger, but how are you going to find a
- 21:42Speaker 2: mother ginger snowglobe? And it had a little gingerbread man,
- 21:45Speaker 2: which was a nice I thought that was, you know,
- 21:47Speaker 2: it's a good adequate way to say, you know, hey,
- 21:50Speaker 2: your mother Ginger and it's a gingerbread man, so just
- 21:54Speaker 2: the ginger connection. But I tought, I'm gonna break this
- 21:58Speaker 2: thing and I'm gonna feel varrable if I break it.
- 22:01Speaker 2: So far to date it's still fine. Okay, I haven't
- 22:04Speaker 2: broken it. All the stuff still inside and then but
- 22:09Speaker 2: it means a lot. And she was at the show
- 22:11Speaker 2: last year, not performing, she was there watching and I
- 22:14Speaker 2: told her that that was a very thoughtful little gift
- 22:16Speaker 2: that you gave me, and I appreciated it. It was
- 22:18Speaker 2: very nice. So just a small, small, little snow globe.
- 22:22Speaker 2: So I worry about breaking those things. It's traumatic you
- 22:26Speaker 2: can see just the story about being snow globe really
- 22:29Speaker 2: freaked me out, all right. The influence of social media undeniable.
- 22:34Speaker 2: New survey from the Pew Research Center Pew Pew finds
- 22:38Speaker 2: that more than twenty percent of American adults said they
- 22:40Speaker 2: get all of their news from social media influencers. Yuck.
- 22:46Speaker 2: Not about influencers, just that that's a source of news.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Researchers analyzed, way, don't I count as an influencer in
- 22:52Speaker 2: that case?
- 22:53Speaker 1: Yay.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Researchers analyzed five hundred popular influencers who I'm not a
- 22:58Speaker 2: popular influence who regularly posted about current events to more
- 23:04Speaker 2: than one hundred thousand followers. Oh well maybe, and found
- 23:08Speaker 2: that they were the primary source of news for twenty
- 23:11Speaker 2: one percent of adults. The number is much higher for
- 23:13Speaker 2: younger adults thirty seven percent of those between the ages
- 23:15Speaker 2: of eighteen and twenty nine. You should look no further
- 23:19Speaker 2: than social media for their news. Influencers who politically leaned
- 23:24Speaker 2: to the right make up the majority of social media influencers,
- 23:27Speaker 2: except for on TikTok, where they're more left leaning. Communist
- 23:32Speaker 2: China used I'm sorry influencers. Also, male influencers greatly outnumber
- 23:37Speaker 2: of female influencers. I guess when it comes to news.
- 23:40Speaker 2: So there you go. I don't know where I fall
- 23:42Speaker 2: on the influencer charge. I don't know that. I don't
- 23:44Speaker 2: consider myself that. But an airline passenger with a layover
- 23:49Speaker 2: in Miami found an unusual way to kill some time
- 23:52Speaker 2: between flights. The woman could have gotten something to eat,
- 23:56Speaker 2: charged her phone, or taken a nap, but instead she
- 23:59Speaker 2: decided to have a baby at the ticket counter. The
- 24:02Speaker 2: woman had just gotten off the flight in Miami International
- 24:05Speaker 2: Airport and was waiting for her connecting flight when her
- 24:08Speaker 2: water broke and she went into labor. Police officers, firefighters,
- 24:12Speaker 2: and US Customs officers surrounded her and helped her deliver
- 24:16Speaker 2: her baby before an ambulance arrived and brought her and
- 24:19Speaker 2: the baby boy to the hospital. There's been no update
- 24:23Speaker 2: on the mother or baby's condition. It's also assumed that
- 24:26Speaker 2: she didn't make the connecting flight. You think, you think
- 24:28Speaker 2: that maybe she missed the flight and had other things
- 24:32Speaker 2: to do, because there'd be that guy on the flight.
- 24:34Speaker 2: Oh here's this lady was a newborn, of course on
- 24:38Speaker 2: my flight. That's what's happened. She's having babies at the
- 24:42Speaker 2: ticket counter. And I can't keep a snowglobe from breaking.
- 24:44Speaker 2: What does that say? That's why women have the babies
- 24:48Speaker 2: that'll do it. For this Wednesday edition of the show,
