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.
0:11
Speaker 2: Monday morning, eighth day of September. I'm Wes. Thanks for
0:18
Speaker 2: joining me. Back at it voice. I think sounds a
0:22
Speaker 2: little different, at least it does in my head. But
0:26
Speaker 2: I think I'm mostly here, mostly hear voice wise, mostly
0:30
Speaker 2: here medication wise. If I say anything that's wildly incoherent
0:35
Speaker 2: or idiotic, please excuse it and know that it's probably
0:38
Speaker 2: from some type of medicine I've been taking. So surgery
0:44
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, my all accounts went very well. I hear
0:48
Speaker 2: I was a great patient. All I had to do
0:50
Speaker 2: was lie there and have nappy nap. But I want
0:54
Speaker 2: to acknowledge, and there's a lot of people to acknowledge,
0:59
Speaker 2: and quite frankly, I was very medicated. So some of
1:02
Speaker 2: the names I'm not going to remember, but the main
1:04
Speaker 2: ones that I feel like I should focus on doctor Westerland,
1:08
Speaker 2: who performed the surgery, and then Ivy Holt, who is
1:14
Speaker 2: his pa. Apparently she's the one who stitched me all
1:19
Speaker 2: up when it was over, and just the rest of
1:23
Speaker 2: the team, everyone at the jack Houston Hospital, the nurses,
1:28
Speaker 2: all of the assistants, everybody who was checking on me.
1:32
Speaker 2: And I know it's a pain. You spend a couple
1:34
Speaker 2: of nights in the hospital. For me, it was one night,
1:36
Speaker 2: But if you spend a night or two at the
1:37
Speaker 2: hospital after a surgery, it's the old three stooges, wake
1:41
Speaker 2: up and go to sleep routine where they you know
1:42
Speaker 2: as soon as you doze off, someone's going to come in,
1:45
Speaker 2: knock on the door, want to check your blood pressure,
1:47
Speaker 2: want to check your vital signs, whatever, and then tell
1:51
Speaker 2: you to go back to sleep. And that's just they're
1:54
Speaker 2: just doing their job. That's what they gotta do. I
1:56
Speaker 2: get it. But and this was my first stay in
2:00
Speaker 2: a hospital where they were didn't allow someone to stay
2:04
Speaker 2: overnight with you unless you're I guess a child. You
2:09
Speaker 2: have to be a miner to have someone stay there
2:10
Speaker 2: with you, which was there is twofold. On one hand,
2:14
Speaker 2: if you need something and you're there in the room,
2:17
Speaker 2: you feel like you don't have to bug them to
2:18
Speaker 2: come get it for you. The staff that's working and
2:22
Speaker 2: if you've got a family member that's there to help,
2:26
Speaker 2: But it also definitely allowed me to say no, no, no,
2:30
Speaker 2: you don't need to do this. You don't have to
2:33
Speaker 2: be here overnight and just on standby constantly. You can
2:37
Speaker 2: go home and sleep in your bed and get some
2:39
Speaker 2: rest and I'll see you tomorrow. There's a twofold side
2:42
Speaker 2: to it, I know, and I know that during COVID
2:45
Speaker 2: there were a lot of these sort of changes that
2:47
Speaker 2: got made. I don't know if that's part of the
2:48
Speaker 2: reason behind it, or if it's just a lot easier
2:51
Speaker 2: for them to do their jobs without an extra person
2:53
Speaker 2: in the room trying to sleep in the little converted
2:58
Speaker 2: chair that turns into a bed. But anyway, they took
3:02
Speaker 2: care of me on Thursday morning and then I was
3:07
Speaker 2: out of there by lunchtime on Friday. I have gone
3:12
Speaker 2: through a number of the important things on the checklist
3:15
Speaker 2: that you have to do after a surgery, and I'm
3:17
Speaker 2: not going to be too graphic with those, but some
3:19
Speaker 2: of those do involve, you know, when you can go
3:22
Speaker 2: to the bathroom, that's important done, check out, check that
3:26
Speaker 2: off the list. Don't want to be any more graphic,
3:29
Speaker 2: but if you've ever been on narcotics and and experienced
3:33
Speaker 2: that kind of surgery, you know what I'm talking about.
3:36
Speaker 2: It's not a fun it's not a fun ride until
3:39
Speaker 2: you get to that check mark, and then after the
3:41
Speaker 2: check mark, it's it. Things are better. But I've been,
3:46
Speaker 2: you know, adding a few more things to my diet,
3:48
Speaker 2: adjusting things a little bit. You start with very soft
3:51
Speaker 2: foods after a surgery like this, and it's just there's
3:54
Speaker 2: a lot going on. And I talked about this, I know,
3:57
Speaker 2: last week, but there's just a lot going on. They're
3:59
Speaker 2: moving things around in your throat. They're moving things around.
4:04
Speaker 2: They've got tubes running down and they're moving it. So
4:06
Speaker 2: you're kind of getting a little bit of some abrasion
4:10
Speaker 2: to it in two places. And that's the reason. I
4:14
Speaker 2: guess my voice maybe sounds a little different. I don't know,
4:16
Speaker 2: it does to me. I hear certain things. Maybe you
4:20
Speaker 2: hear them, I don't know. But I wasn't sure about
4:24
Speaker 2: when i'd be back at it. I heard from many
4:26
Speaker 2: of you that we're basically saying, hey, looking forward to
4:30
Speaker 2: having you back. Hope you're back on Monday, And I
4:34
Speaker 2: appreciate that very much. It's just nice. It's nice to
4:38
Speaker 2: hear hear from you. It's nice to know that you
4:42
Speaker 2: guys were praying for me, that you were thinking about
4:45
Speaker 2: me and my family and everything that goes through all
4:48
Speaker 2: of this. I had it in my head what doctor
4:52
Speaker 2: Westland said, Hey, it's a minor surgery, but they're in
4:56
Speaker 2: there doing stuff around the spine, and any time the
5:00
Speaker 2: spine is involved, you just think this sounds nice to
5:05
Speaker 2: say it's a minor surgery. Is it? How how how minor?
5:10
Speaker 1: Is it?
5:10
Speaker 2: When it's you There's always those adjustments and things that
5:12
Speaker 2: you have to mentally kind of hurdle. But had a
5:15
Speaker 2: lot of confidence in him what he can do. I've
5:17
Speaker 2: known Ivy for a very long time, and I had
5:21
Speaker 2: a there were there was there were a couple of
5:23
Speaker 2: other surgeon options, but I knew I had narrowed it
5:27
Speaker 2: down to two. And I've got a lot of friends
5:30
Speaker 2: who had high recommendations for doctor Westerland. And he was great.
5:34
Speaker 2: He said the things I wanted to hear. He was
5:37
Speaker 2: able to schedule me in a time window that was
5:40
Speaker 2: advantageous to me. I was hoping to fit the surgery
5:44
Speaker 2: in between dragon Con and getting up on stilts for
5:48
Speaker 2: Nutcracker rehearsals, which will be coming soon. But I've got
5:52
Speaker 2: still got my time to heal and basically, and I
5:56
Speaker 2: don't know that I ever used the term, but it's
5:58
Speaker 2: the ACDF surgery that I had. So they go in
6:01
Speaker 2: through the front, they work around the vertical tubes in
6:06
Speaker 2: your throat and get to the back, and they removed arthritis.
6:10
Speaker 2: I've had some bone spurs in there and then took
6:14
Speaker 2: care of herniated disks and put some spacers in. So
6:18
Speaker 2: right now the pain that I'm feeling is from the spacers.
6:22
Speaker 2: I'm being stretched a little bit. I can feel it
6:24
Speaker 2: in my shoulders, I can feel it in my neck
6:26
Speaker 2: and in my back, all of those things that are
6:29
Speaker 2: just part of the process. But overall, you know, I
6:32
Speaker 2: am still working through some of the medications that you
6:36
Speaker 2: have to take post surgery, weaning myself off a bit.
6:40
Speaker 2: I don't like taking narcotics at all, and that reference
6:44
Speaker 2: to the going to the bathroom for that first time
6:47
Speaker 2: that continues on when you're on any sort of narcotics.
6:50
Speaker 2: So I'm trying to, you know, work my way off
6:52
Speaker 2: of that with their advice and things. But I've now
6:54
Speaker 2: been able to shower, and we've been replacing bandages and
6:57
Speaker 2: all of those things. So all big steps moving forward
7:00
Speaker 2: and getting a little bit closer to getting back to
7:04
Speaker 2: the routine, but being able to do. This is part
7:06
Speaker 2: of the routine, and I'm happy and blessed to be
7:08
Speaker 2: able to do this and know that because I do
7:11
Speaker 2: work from home, it's very easy. The commute is very easy.
7:15
Speaker 2: There's no restrictions on commuting to work to come into
7:18
Speaker 2: my studio at home. So but again, thank you, any
7:23
Speaker 2: of you who reached out, any of you who even
7:24
Speaker 2: took a moment to say a prayer and not reach out,
7:27
Speaker 2: any of you who thought about me during it. I
7:29
Speaker 2: appreciate it very much. And hearing from those of you
7:32
Speaker 2: that reached out it means a lot. And some of
7:35
Speaker 2: you are friends, and I know that we have that
7:40
Speaker 2: kind of relationship that you would reach out, and some
7:42
Speaker 2: of you it was the first time I'd heard from you,
7:45
Speaker 2: and I appreciate that as well. And you know I
7:48
Speaker 2: told you. I've always said it's usually easy to reach
7:52
Speaker 2: me on social media and some capacity. I respond to
7:55
Speaker 2: most messages I get on there. They're really nasty ones
7:59
Speaker 2: I stay away from. I don't get too many of
8:01
Speaker 2: those anymore, but I still get some of those. I
8:04
Speaker 2: remember we had one lady once back in years ago
8:08
Speaker 2: when I was still doing the show with Scott Miller,
8:10
Speaker 2: and she would get angry if one of us took
8:13
Speaker 2: a day off from work, like we were just supposed
8:15
Speaker 2: to be there every day, every day. We had no excuse,
8:19
Speaker 2: and she would get it, when are you guys going
8:20
Speaker 2: to be back? What's going on? Let's well, we get
8:24
Speaker 2: vacation sometimes, and you know it was Christmas, maybe you
8:27
Speaker 2: had other things to do that morning instead of listened
8:30
Speaker 2: to us. But she met, well, she just was. It
8:32
Speaker 2: was her way of telling us she missed us. I
8:34
Speaker 2: guess I don't know, but I appreciate hearing from all
8:37
Speaker 2: of you. It meant a lot, and I appreciate it.
8:41
Speaker 2: There's a feeling that you get when you hear from
8:45
Speaker 2: people that way, and you know that they're they're cheering
8:48
Speaker 2: you on and encouraging you so and you know the
8:52
Speaker 2: obvious here in my household, my family and the support
8:58
Speaker 2: they've done, and my bride and my mother and my
9:01
Speaker 2: father who were able to help us out along the
9:04
Speaker 2: way with other things that went with this, as far
9:07
Speaker 2: as logistics and all that stuff. It's just it's a lot.
9:10
Speaker 2: We got two kids, you know, two teenagers in school,
9:14
Speaker 2: and they go to very good schools and they have
9:16
Speaker 2: a lot of things they have to do and it
9:20
Speaker 2: was just a juggling ordeal for a few days, but
9:24
Speaker 2: we got through the weekend. Here we are on Monday,
9:26
Speaker 2: and the story that I feel like I have to
9:29
Speaker 2: and I'm not going to spend a lot of time
9:31
Speaker 2: on it. I've spent most of my time talking about surgery.
9:33
Speaker 2: But I just have a couple of reflections on something
9:36
Speaker 2: that honestly, I got tired of hearing about, and you're
9:40
Speaker 2: probably tired of hearing about it. But I just have
9:42
Speaker 2: to vent for a minute, because can we talk unritten
9:46
Speaker 2: Baseball is one of those sports of unwritten rules, and
9:48
Speaker 2: people always say, oh, there's unwritten rules, and you got
9:51
Speaker 2: to know the unwritten rules and follow them and listen.
9:55
Speaker 2: I've I'm fifty my understanding of the unwritten rules of
10:00
Speaker 2: baseball or home run balls and foul balls go to
10:04
Speaker 2: the person who gets them. If you snatch them out
10:06
Speaker 2: of someone's hand, that doesn't seem to be okay in
10:11
Speaker 2: any capacity. But if someone wants to collect a ball
10:14
Speaker 2: that comes in the stands, that comes to them and
10:17
Speaker 2: they want to keep it, there was a time when
10:20
Speaker 2: no one was frowned upon for doing that. You could
10:23
Speaker 2: be an adult, grown man who catches a ball and
10:26
Speaker 2: there's a small kid nearby that was hoping to get it,
10:29
Speaker 2: and you know, maybe you got a little grief at
10:31
Speaker 2: the game, but it wasn't a televised event that you
10:34
Speaker 2: kept the ball, and you know, you didn't have to
10:36
Speaker 2: find out they'd have to find out your name and
10:39
Speaker 2: where you worked and all these things. That's who we
10:41
Speaker 2: are now as a society. But we'll get to that.
10:44
Speaker 2: There's a time when you just get the ball. Hey,
10:47
Speaker 2: I got a ball. I've never gotten a ball at
10:49
Speaker 2: a major league game. I'd love to catch a ball
10:52
Speaker 2: at a game. Now. If I were sitting there with
10:55
Speaker 2: my kids, which would be the most likely scenario, I
10:59
Speaker 2: would certainly get of them the ball. One of them
11:02
Speaker 2: would get the ball, and at the very least they'd
11:06
Speaker 2: get it, you know, while the cameras were on us,
11:08
Speaker 2: and then I could get it back from him when
11:09
Speaker 2: I get home and say, hey, that's my ball. No,
11:11
Speaker 2: I'm kidding, but or am I? So that used to
11:15
Speaker 2: be the rule. The ball comes in a section, you
11:17
Speaker 2: get it. There's no zone. You're not allowed two rows
11:20
Speaker 2: up and two rows back in twelve seats in each direct.
11:23
Speaker 2: You know, there's not a squared off area that you're
11:25
Speaker 2: allowed to get a ball from. If you want to
11:27
Speaker 2: run to a completely different section where there's fewer people
11:30
Speaker 2: sitting and get the ball, you were allowed to do that. Now,
11:34
Speaker 2: there were some rules. Don't push people, don't knock them down,
11:36
Speaker 2: and again, don't snatch it out of their hand. So
11:39
Speaker 2: we had this thing that happened this Marlin's Phillies game.
11:45
Speaker 2: And I'm sure you've seen it. It's been on social
11:47
Speaker 2: media and all the news channels. And you know, a
11:50
Speaker 2: guy goes over, he gets the ball. There's a lady
11:52
Speaker 2: there that says she touched it first. I don't know,
11:55
Speaker 2: and I don't care. Honestly, it doesn't matter to me.
11:58
Speaker 2: He got the ball, she confronted him about it after
12:02
Speaker 2: he had given it to his son. And it's around
12:04
Speaker 2: his birthday. I don't think it was actually the day,
12:07
Speaker 2: but they're saying it's his birth They were celebrating his
12:09
Speaker 2: birthday at the game. So he gives the kid the ball.
12:12
Speaker 2: The lady comes over and basically says, that was my ball.
12:15
Speaker 2: And there's audio every you know, every cell phone, you
12:18
Speaker 2: know that video that everybody has from the game, different angles,
12:23
Speaker 2: different conversations, and he the guy clearly is doesn't want
12:29
Speaker 2: to be confrontational, so he just gives the lady at
12:32
Speaker 2: the ball and she storms off with it. And then eventually,
12:38
Speaker 2: you know, the Marlins and the Phillies and everybody involved,
12:40
Speaker 2: all both teams and anybody who could from a pr standpoint,
12:43
Speaker 2: they took care of this kid. They took care of
12:45
Speaker 2: this family, took him back. He got to meet the
12:47
Speaker 2: guy who hit the home run. He got a bat,
12:49
Speaker 2: autographed bat, which is way better than the ball. It's
12:53
Speaker 2: like the guy's fifteenth home run of the season. It's
12:55
Speaker 2: not like this was, you know, the Bonds record ball,
12:58
Speaker 2: the McGuire record ball. This isn't one of those, the
13:01
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge record ball. There's other balls that are way
13:04
Speaker 2: more important. But again, maybe the kid wanted the ball,
13:09
Speaker 2: but I feel like he probably made out a lot better.
13:11
Speaker 2: There's been offers to send the family to the World Series.
13:15
Speaker 2: I think they got given a camper, all these nutty
13:17
Speaker 2: things that you just go as a baseball. But that's great,
13:21
Speaker 2: great for them, and I think that's pretty whatever the
13:25
Speaker 2: story ends up being, for the things that they get,
13:27
Speaker 2: great for them. So now comes the part that I
13:32
Speaker 2: have issues with, and I'm not defending this woman. I
13:38
Speaker 2: don't know what the deal was. I mean, I think
13:40
Speaker 2: the moment where the ball went to a kid, you
13:42
Speaker 2: probably just kind of let it go. And I know
13:47
Speaker 2: there was a moment I went to and again, you
13:49
Speaker 2: go to a minor league game and your kid, my
13:51
Speaker 2: son ended up someone gave my son a ball and
13:55
Speaker 2: Luke and then he gave it to a smaller kid
13:58
Speaker 2: because he just thought maybe this kid would like it more.
14:01
Speaker 2: And that's that's kind of the spirit of it, you know,
14:05
Speaker 2: unless you're just a man, I'm gonna collect baseballs at
14:07
Speaker 2: these games. But I think if Luke had caught the
14:11
Speaker 2: ball himself or gotten it himself, maybe it would have
14:13
Speaker 2: meant a little bit more. But the fact that someone
14:15
Speaker 2: gave it to him and he felt like and he
14:17
Speaker 2: thanked them, and then he gave it to another kid,
14:19
Speaker 2: and I think he it's that paying it forward kind
14:22
Speaker 2: of thing. That meant a lot to me as a
14:24
Speaker 2: dad to see it playing out. But I don't fault
14:27
Speaker 2: someone for maybe wanting a ball at a game. That's
14:30
Speaker 2: what I don't understand. The people that are angry, like,
14:32
Speaker 2: why did this lady get so upset if the ball
14:36
Speaker 2: was kind of in her hand even for a moment,
14:40
Speaker 2: and she couldn't quite pick it up and the guy
14:42
Speaker 2: snatched it from her. But you can't. I couldn't tell.
14:45
Speaker 2: But again doesn't matter. We've lost our minds. This has
14:50
Speaker 2: turned into a well, clearly she must be a dot
14:53
Speaker 2: dot dot. This must be how she votes, this must
14:56
Speaker 2: be who she is. And apparently a lot of that
14:58
Speaker 2: was right. I don't know what to believe on the internet,
15:00
Speaker 2: but you know, the Elizabeth Warren comparisons were kind of comical.
15:07
Speaker 2: But the people this is where it got nuts. It
15:10
Speaker 2: was now we have to docks this woman, We have
15:12
Speaker 2: to make her lose her job, we have to go
15:14
Speaker 2: after or they were saying what her name was online.
15:18
Speaker 2: Whether that's true or not, I don't know. There were
15:23
Speaker 2: just a lot of it was a lot for Hey,
15:29
Speaker 2: I touched a baseball, I felt like it should have
15:31
Speaker 2: been mine, and I would like the ball that I
15:36
Speaker 2: thought was rightfully mine. I mean, when did we become
15:41
Speaker 2: so angry and vicious and and I feel like this
15:45
Speaker 2: is one of those things that had been happening largely
15:47
Speaker 2: from the left, and now you got these people on
15:49
Speaker 2: the right that as soon as they smelled oh, she's
15:52
Speaker 2: probably a lefty. We got to get her. Why why
15:56
Speaker 2: is it our job to get her? I just I
15:58
Speaker 2: don't understand. Again, I'm not defending what anybody did. I
16:02
Speaker 2: think the man who diffused the situation and just gave
16:05
Speaker 2: her the ball, I'm sure that was a great lesson
16:09
Speaker 2: for his kids, especially when you know, Okay, Camping World
16:13
Speaker 2: wants to give you a camper. I mean, that's not
16:16
Speaker 2: always how it works out. I've done the right thing
16:19
Speaker 2: before nobody ever showed up and said eh. But I
16:22
Speaker 2: do feel like there's a reward for that, for doing
16:25
Speaker 2: the right thing and trying to do the right thing,
16:27
Speaker 2: even if it's not an actual brand new RV and
16:33
Speaker 2: an invitation to the World Series. I think we should
16:36
Speaker 2: just dial all that back a little bit. And I've
16:38
Speaker 2: said this before and I'm not going to do much
16:42
Speaker 2: on this, but the like the Karen thing, women should
16:46
Speaker 2: be more upset about the Karen thing than they are.
16:50
Speaker 2: And I get tired of hearing the Karen thing because
16:52
Speaker 2: I don't know that women understand this is the Karen
16:55
Speaker 2: thing is ultimately a hey, ladies, shut your mouth? How
17:00
Speaker 2: dare you speak up? I just don't know that I
17:03
Speaker 2: don't know that women realize how offensive the Karen thing
17:08
Speaker 2: is and the fact that it's still going on. I
17:10
Speaker 2: understand there's women who sort of fit this stereotype of
17:13
Speaker 2: what supposedly a Karen is, and this lady certainly seems to.
17:18
Speaker 2: But ultimately, anytime a woman's you know, you get your
17:21
Speaker 2: food and you go, oh my gosh, there's a there's
17:24
Speaker 2: a bone in this food that's not supposed to be there,
17:28
Speaker 2: and you say, hey, look this is a or a
17:31
Speaker 2: piece of metal in your food. Been there and you
17:35
Speaker 2: say this isn't right, Well, you're a Karen if you
17:38
Speaker 2: ask for the manager. Anyone who asks for a manager
17:40
Speaker 2: is a Karen. Hey my coffee. I ordered a hot
17:43
Speaker 2: coffee and it's it's cold. Why did I get a
17:46
Speaker 2: cold coffee that I asked? Oh, here's a Karen. I mean,
17:50
Speaker 2: it's ultimately a message of just shut your mouth. Just
17:54
Speaker 2: shut your mouth, ladies, you don't have a right to
17:56
Speaker 2: speak up. Don't defend yourself all this time time of
18:00
Speaker 2: women should be treated as equals unless you got an
18:06
Speaker 2: objection with some service that you got, and then you're
18:08
Speaker 2: supposed to shut up and be quiet. I like it.
18:12
Speaker 2: I don't like it. I still don't like it and
18:13
Speaker 2: never liked it, not even from the very beginning, Not
18:16
Speaker 2: to mention the fact that I have a sister in
18:17
Speaker 2: law named Karen who actually thought about changing her name
18:20
Speaker 2: because she got tired of hearing it. People don't think
18:22
Speaker 2: about the actual Karen's out there, all right. Maybe I'm
18:27
Speaker 2: getting a little off topic and a little loopy from
18:28
Speaker 2: the medicine, but my point is there's no reason to
18:33
Speaker 2: docks a human being because they wanted a baseball. That's
18:35
Speaker 2: all I'm getting at. I don't care how Nat. I
18:38
Speaker 2: think that she should have handled the whole situation differently,
18:40
Speaker 2: but does that constitute I mean, we've all been at
18:44
Speaker 2: a sporting event and probably said or done something cross
18:47
Speaker 2: the line that wasn't appropriate. But did that mean that
18:51
Speaker 2: the witch hunt should begin? I don't think so. Today's
18:54
Speaker 2: show brought to you by Kalmbas State University's Coca Cola
18:57
Speaker 2: Space Science Center, Inspiring and education the youth and future
19:02
Speaker 2: STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages.
19:08
Speaker 2: I mean, they do it for school age kids as
19:11
Speaker 2: school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center,
19:13
Speaker 2: but they also do it through their university programs where
19:17
Speaker 2: you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in
19:22
Speaker 2: space and stem fields are booming right now, and you
19:26
Speaker 2: can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their
19:30
Speaker 2: website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out
19:36
Speaker 2: some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration
19:41
Speaker 2: that they do with the Schwobe School of Music from
19:44
Speaker 2: Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike
19:47
Speaker 2: any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's
19:51
Speaker 2: one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
19:54
Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
19:57
Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
20:03
Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
20:06
Speaker 2: Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome.
20:10
Speaker 2: Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check
20:15
Speaker 2: out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up where you
20:17
Speaker 2: can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola
20:20
Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
20:24
Speaker 2: city lights you don't want any light interference, and you
20:26
Speaker 2: can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also
20:30
Speaker 2: on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan
20:34
Speaker 2: says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind
20:39
Speaker 2: you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center
20:43
Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
20:47
Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
20:50
Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
20:56
Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
21:00
Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
21:04
Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
21:07
Speaker 2: square in that away for you, and while they're there,
21:09
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
21:11
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
21:15
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
21:18
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
21:21
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
21:23
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
21:27
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
21:30
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes
21:34
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
21:37
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
21:40
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
21:43
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
21:46
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
21:49
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
21:51
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
21:53
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
21:55
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
21:58
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
22:01
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
22:04
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
22:07
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
22:10
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty five

22:16
Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right
22:20
Speaker 2: after the break, well, let's talk a little about pickleball
22:33
Speaker 2: and the obsession that is pickleball in America and I
22:38
Speaker 2: guess around the world. I don't know how popular it
22:40
Speaker 2: is around the world, but I know a lot of
22:43
Speaker 2: people that have converted from tennis to pickleball, so I'm
22:46
Speaker 2: doing a bit of both. I can understand the benefits
22:51
Speaker 2: of switching from one to the other because it's a
22:53
Speaker 2: little easier on your body, a little less ground to cover. However,
22:59
Speaker 2: still doing damage to bodies, so much so that some
23:03
Speaker 2: doctors are now calling pickleball a drug, and not just
23:07
Speaker 2: the addiction of playing it. I guess you could say
23:10
Speaker 2: it's drug like if you're really hooked on playing pickleball,
23:14
Speaker 2: but it's also because of the injuries, and orthopedic surgeons
23:18
Speaker 2: are seeing everything from achilles ruptures to fractured wrists, especially
23:23
Speaker 2: with retirees who play hours a day and then get
23:27
Speaker 2: out and compete in tournaments and things on the weekends,
23:30
Speaker 2: and they forget to do the basics like warming up
23:32
Speaker 2: and stretching. That's one of the deceptive things. You're covering
23:36
Speaker 2: smaller ground and you think, well, I'm not going to
23:37
Speaker 2: be running as much, don't have to stretch so much. Well, apparently,
23:42
Speaker 2: according to some surgeons and doctors, people come in with
23:48
Speaker 2: a pretty severe injury and say, hey, how long is
23:52
Speaker 2: this going to take to heal? Got to get back
23:53
Speaker 2: out there. Yeah, that's drug like. When the addiction is there,
23:59
Speaker 2: then yes. I can't really talk too much because I
24:03
Speaker 2: remember once spraining my ankle pretty severely playing soccer and thinking, now,
24:08
Speaker 2: that it's kind of swollen up a bit. It's locked
24:11
Speaker 2: there in the shoe. I can get one more game
24:13
Speaker 2: in before I go to the emergency room. And that's
24:16
Speaker 2: what I did. And then the doctor asked, you know
24:19
Speaker 2: how long ago this happened? You know, got one more
24:24
Speaker 2: game in? I knew I wasn't going to be playing
24:25
Speaker 2: again for a while. That was the thinking that That
24:31
Speaker 2: was the thinking. It makes sense, doesn't It did to
24:35
Speaker 2: me at the least, does it now? That was a
24:37
Speaker 2: long long time ago. All right? What stresses you out
24:42
Speaker 2: at work? Assuming that you're not working at home? And
24:47
Speaker 2: some people say, you know, the boss are being micromanaged,
24:50
Speaker 2: But for many people there's still a lot of anxiety
24:53
Speaker 2: at work concerning the bathroom. A new survey found seventy
24:58
Speaker 2: six percent of respondent say they've experienced bathroom anxiety at work.
25:02
Speaker 2: The number is even higher for gen Z employees, with
25:05
Speaker 2: eighty three percent saying using the bathroom at work causes
25:08
Speaker 2: them stress. Ten percent of even considered quitting their job
25:12
Speaker 2: due to a humiliating bathroom incident. I kind of laugh
25:17
Speaker 2: because it's just the premise. I mean, I hate it
25:19
Speaker 2: if it's so bad that you thought about quitting your job,
25:21
Speaker 2: but just try. In my head, I start wondering what
25:24
Speaker 2: sort of bathroom incidents that could be to avoid any
25:28
Speaker 2: potential embarrassment. Forty six percent and they wait until the
25:31
Speaker 2: bathroom is empty before going. Thirty three percent avoids certain
25:34
Speaker 2: bathrooms based on who might be in there. In sixteen
25:37
Speaker 2: percent even hold it in. That's not good for you
25:39
Speaker 2: at all, not good at all, not at all. So
25:44
Speaker 2: biggest bathroom stressors realizing there's no toilet paper that would
25:48
Speaker 2: be bad smell or visible mess. Sure clogs, Okay, I
25:53
Speaker 2: assume that's toilet clogs having to go, you know, do
25:58
Speaker 2: old tuesy when other people in the room. Noises that
26:02
Speaker 2: might come from the aforementioned twosies I guess are part
26:05
Speaker 2: of that. A walk of shame after a longer session
26:09
Speaker 2: in there. Again, we really seem to be hovering there
26:11
Speaker 2: right pun intended. And a coworker walking in right after you. Again,
26:16
Speaker 2: I assume it's after a tuesy. So all of those
26:20
Speaker 2: things I think people have experienced when it comes to
26:23
Speaker 2: their work situation with a bathroom. So all right, how
26:29
Speaker 2: about this. If you're someone who keeps your cereal boxes
26:34
Speaker 2: on top of your refrigerator. You might want to think
26:35
Speaker 2: about moving them, as food experts say, that's not where
26:39
Speaker 2: you should store them for a number of reasons. Tops
26:42
Speaker 2: of refrigerators are often warm, sometimes even get hot, and
26:47
Speaker 2: the heat is prevented from escaping by too many boxes,
26:52
Speaker 2: and there's a chance the refrigerator won't cool its contents properly.
26:55
Speaker 2: So cereal boxes coded and chemicals that could cause them
26:59
Speaker 2: not only to burn fast but give off some hazardous fumes.
27:02
Speaker 2: But you never thought of that. The heat from the
27:06
Speaker 2: fridge can also speed up the cereals expiration. Eight food
27:09
Speaker 2: experts say taking the cereal bag out of the box
27:14
Speaker 2: and writing its best by date on the bag and
27:16
Speaker 2: putting it in an airtight storage container is your best move.
27:19
Speaker 2: We made that switch a long time ago, not that
27:22
Speaker 2: we're you know, into these studies. It's just something that
27:26
Speaker 2: made sense then. We just we don't like the cardboard.
27:29
Speaker 2: You don't need the box, you know, are you still
27:31
Speaker 2: reading the cereal box? Remember that was a thing. That's
27:33
Speaker 2: what we have our phones for now right. That'll do
27:36
Speaker 2: it for this Monday edition of the show. Thanks to
27:38
Speaker 2: our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch
