Strange and Bizarre News with Strange Items for Sale at Wal-Mart · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carol Morning Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, eighteenth day of July. I'm Wes, thanks for
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: joining me. It is Friday. That means it's time for
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: some strange and bizarre news from around the world. But
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: first we continue this new tradition of bringing some positivity
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: to the show on Friday morning, because yes, we like
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the strange and weird news, but we do like some
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: positive news stories. And how about this fun story out
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: of California. We're a mom. Nause Drake just welcomed her
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: fourth child, who was born on July the seventh, the
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: exact same birthday as her other three children. None of
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the children are twins, no triplets. Nause had four kids
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: in four different years, all on the exact same day,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: and none of the births were induced. That's what I suspected,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: but no, they were not. She says. It's surreal. It's
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: like having Christmas twice a year. The odds of having
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: four kids with the exact same birthday without hospital scheduling
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: procedures are estimated to be in the millions. Now, with
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: four angel babies to take care of Nause will be
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: plenty busy in the months and years ahead, especially since
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: she is a nursing student and expected to graduate this December.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Along the way every July, though, there will be one
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: big party with those babies and four themes. I guess
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: she's got to coordinate themes. But it's easy. You get
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the party done all on the same day. That's nice.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: It's not like you're saying, hey, my kid was born
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: two weeks apart with the other kids, so we're going
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: to have the shared party. We've done that. We do
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: that all the time. Our two boys, their birthdays are
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: not that far apart, so we take advantage that she
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: has the built an excuse for it. But that's a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: nice story.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Though.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: It's wild kids all born on the same day. I mean,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: you could statistically kind of go back and do math
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and figure out, you know, what was going on nine
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: months prior four times, you know, all around the same day.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: But still, it's pretty remarkable that all four kids have
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the same birthday without any any of the kids being induced.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: So pretty pretty wild, how about this? Even though temperatures
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: eighties nineties in Newbern, North Carolina, the community got together
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: for the City second annual Christmas in July festival. It
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: was a day of holiday spirit with food trucks, local vendors,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: live music, even a visit from Santa and Missus Clause.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Normally they're on vacation, you know, you would think that
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: would be a great time for them to I don't
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: know what you do when your Santa Claus in your
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: own vacation. You don't travel the world. That's work, you know,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: he travels for work. Maybe just stay home. But in
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: this case, they both made time to go to Newbern,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: North Carolina. So not only were a participating in Christmas fun,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: there was donation drives for food, clothes, toys, household goods
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: for local charity groups. On top of that, portion of
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: the proceeds raised during the event were also donated to
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: local charities. And of course, doing this in summer heat.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: They say with such a success that the event organizer,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Joe Brown, I don't think it's the judge guy, says
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: he's going to continue the tradition next year, promising something
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: extra special for as a surprise for visitors that come
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: and participate next year. You always hear about people doing
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Christmas in July, but this is like a very specific
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: event that they're doing. You know, this is more than
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: just hey, we're gonna have you know, Hallmark movies on
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: when it's hot outside. There's more to that than this.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: This is an event. There should be more people do this.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I think I like it, and I like the charity
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: aspect of it and the fact that they're doing that.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Let's do another one, because another story where someone raising
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: some money to help others. This is a little different
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: though it's a five year old kid. Xavier Yates Casper, Wyoming,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: known in the neighborhood being helpful and engaged with people,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: so he set up a lemonade stand, which he called
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Xavier's Zesty Lemonade, and the people in the community stepped
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: up to help. After several long hours, Xavier made a
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: profit of forty five dollars, which he then delivered to
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Wyoming Foods for Thought Project, a charity group that helps
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: connect people in need with fresh foods. Xavier said he
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: decided to give the money to Food for Thought because
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: it focuses on kids specifically, and he suggested he has
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: bigger plans for more lemonade sales and more visits for
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Food for Thought. Nice Kid somebody's raising a parent. I'm sorry,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: some parents are raising a kid just right there. Nice job,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: is Xavier's parents? All right, Enough of the good stuff.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Let's get to what you're here for. I don't know.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Maybe you like the good stuff. But let's roll on
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: into some strange and bizarre news from around the world.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Let's start in Florida, where a Florida man was forced
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: to scrap his big evening plans after he was caught
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: stealing two hundred and eighty dollars worth of nighttime toys.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean by that from a Walmart store.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Walmart sells those kind of things. I didn't know that.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I don't I wouldn't even know where to look. Clearly not,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen them in Walmart. But that's weird, isn't it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Forty year old Jeffrey LaForge knew that the toys were
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: sold at Walmart, and he was caught on security cameras
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: removing the adult toys from their packaging and walking out
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: of the store without paying. He also swiped a Reese's
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: peanut butter ice cream. Can't fault him for that. Those
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: are delicious. I mean, I don't know anything about what
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: specific adult toys. He's taken out of the air so
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: that I can make any specific comments on them, but
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I know that Reese's peanut butter ice creams are quite delicious.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Police were called to the store, and they arrested the
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Forge on theft charges. They also shared a detailed list
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: of about a dozen items he stole. The crime would
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: have typically been a misdemeanor, but since the Forge has
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: a history of theft convictions, it's been elevated to a felony.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: It's unclear what his plans were for the adult toys
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: or the ice cream for that matter. I don't know
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: that we need any specifics of what he was planning.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: With all of that, I still have to go back
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: to the fact that Walmart in this particular town is
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: selling adult toys, because I didn't know that. I mean,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I guess the fact that it's in Florida maybe shouldn't
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: be a giant surprise to us. Of course, if it's
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: going to happen somewhere, going to happen in Florida, I suppose.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: But anyway, it's you hear people protesting guns in Walmart
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: or bullets in Walmart. This town apparently is okay with
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: adult toys at Walmart. All right, no crying over spilled milk,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: they say, less sure a truck driver, and you spilled
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: thousands of gallons of milk. Police in Columbia County, New
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: York responded to a scene of an accident involving a
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: large tanker truck which had overturned and spilled milk all
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: over the road. Wasn't this a scene in one of
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: the Smoky in the Bandit movies? A huge part three?
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: A huge cleanup operation was launched involving the state Police,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: has Matt Team, the Department of Environmental Conservation, and local
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: fire departments. The driver of the truck was taken to
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: the hospital for evaluation cause of the crash under investigation.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I will still say that since there was the truck
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: carrying the milk, didn't tip over and Smoking the Bandit three,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: the car jumped through the milk truck and crashed it
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: and got milk all over them enus boys, So I
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: remember that, And it was all in the car and
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: they were looking for a cookie or something some joke
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: involving that. So I still argue, even though the plot
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: of the movie is confusing, Smoking the Bandit three had
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: some great lines from Jackie Gleeson. That's all I'll say.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I can't defend the plot. I can't tell you that
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the plot made any sense at all. But I can
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: tell you that I think that the movie has a
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: certain bit of being underrated to it. That's all. That's
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: all I'm getting at. So all right, something that you
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: don't see every day unless you live in Northampton, England.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Locals were left stunned by the appearance of a bright
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: green pigeon that's been strutting around town. The bird first
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: showed up up in June. Since then it's become a
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: bit of a celebrity, with videos of the birds going
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: viral on TikTok and people actually traveling from all over
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: just to catch a glimpse of the bright green pigeon.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: When local said, Northampton's not exactly a tourist hotspot, so
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: having a pigeon as the main attraction is kind of hilarious.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: As far as the pigeon's green color goes, a bird
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: expert at Birdwatch magazine says it's definitely not natural. He
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: told the BBC, there is no wild pigeon in the
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: world that looks like this. It certainly looks as if
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: it's been dyed and the green coloring is too artificial.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: The RSPCA is not amused and has been repeatedly asked
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: the public not to dye pigeons. Uh you know, I mean,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: if you're gonna die a pigeon, it might as well
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: lead to something exciting, like making your town that's not
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: normally a tourist attraction into a tourist attraction. That's all
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I'll say. And I'm not endorsing dying pigeons. I'm just saying,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: if you're going to do it and it's going to
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: be beneficial to your community, that's a plus. That's all
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. I'm not saying do it. I'm just pointing
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: out that there did end up being a happy ending
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: for at least the town. I don't know how the
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: pigeon feels about it, long as nobody hurts the pigeon.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: If anything, maybe the pigeon would be more protected, is
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. A Florida motorcyclist faces charges after his
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: attempt at a hands free joy ride. It went down
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: like the Titanic. Police in a Penaeus park say that
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: thirty four year old Damon Hankins and it may be Panels.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I realize it may not be the Spanish pronunciation. I'm
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: just going with what's what's written. Thirty four year old
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Damon Hinkins was we have Bunivista Road in Columbus, Georgia,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: so you know, it could be Panellas. I don't know.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Thirty four year old Damon Hinkins was arrested for speeding
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: and reckless driving after officers clocked him going one hundred
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: five miles an hour with no hands on the handlebars
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: and his arms stretched wide to mimic Leo DiCaprio's iconic
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I'm the King of the World post from Titanic. The
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: officer pulled him over, placed him under arrest. He was
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: let go on a three hundred dollars bond. Hankins, it
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: turns out, is not a first time speeder. His social
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: media contains videos of him weaving through traffic on a
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Kawasaki Ninja's z X six R, which can reach speeds
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: up to one hundred and seventy five miles per hour.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: People still keeping the Titanic post going, I'll allow it.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, it seems a little late in the game
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: to still be doing that, but you know, maybe it's
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: been kind of out long enough that you could bring
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: it back. I just don't know how cool you look
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: on a motorcycle doing it. That's all. What's happened again.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: The temptress that is the Arcade Claw Machine as used
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: her as certain of cheap plush toys to seduce and
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: swallow up another child. The latest episode occurring at a
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: community center in Ohio, and like previous episodes, a child
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: sees a toy he wants very innocently climbs in to
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: get it. Security cameras at the Mason Community Center captured
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: the moment the curious little adventurer decided to take playtime
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: to the next level climbed into the prize machine. A
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: nearby volunteer only noticed what was happening as the boy's
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: legs disappeared into the machine. Emergency crews were then called.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: The claw Machine had to be partially taken apart to
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: free the kid, the toy hunter, if you will, who
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: was unharmed. He also left the machine with a stuffed animal,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: which he was proud to show off to his mom.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I mean he stole it right, sounds to me like
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: he stole it. I mean, if he paid his money
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: and then climbed in there. I don't know if there's
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: any rules specifically that say you can't climb in after
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: you pay your money to play the game, But if
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: he paid his money to play the game and went
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: in and got the toy, then I think he earned
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: it otherwise at Kid's a thief. Customs officials at the
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: airport in Germany uncovered a bit of a creepy Crawley
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: surprise inside a shipment of chocolate sponge cake. Authorities at
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Cologne Bahn Airport say they discovered around fifteen hundred baby
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: tarantulas that were packed in tiny plastic containers, all hidden
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: inside what was supposed to be fifteen pounds of sponge cake.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: The shipman had arrived from Vietnam, but officers were tipped
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: off by a strange smell that definitely didn't match chocolate.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Many of the tarantulas were dead and the survivors were
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: placed in the care of an expert handler. Authorities say
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the intended recipient of the spiders faces criminal charges. Yeah,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: that's that sounds like an appropriate charge, don't you think.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Ah.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: A truck that spilled in British Columbia, Canada calls a
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: literal traffic jam. I looked at when we have more
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: than one story and two stories about trucks crashing and
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: making a mess, and this one driver's unexpectedly encountered a
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: sticky situation on the road after a pickup truck spilled
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: a huge load of freshly picked blueberries all over the highway.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Police say the Ford truck was stopped in an intersection.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: When it pulled away, several crates of blueberry slid off
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: the back burst open on the road. Officers responded to
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: what they described as a juicy incident and used shovels
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: to clear thousands of berries off the road. That's a
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: juicy incident for sure. All Right, Finally I got you
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: another Australia story. It's not an alligator of crocodile, but
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I've got something from for Australia and not very far
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: from where I recently was, so I was excited about this.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: This is I was in Townsville, just south of Townsville
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: as the city known as Brisbane. His police in Australia
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: searching for a bizarre thief who probably isn't a good dancer.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Investigators in Brisbane are trying to track down a man
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: who walked into a shoe store in the mall and
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: stole fifty three shoes, not pears, just fifty three right shoes.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Surveillance footage shows the man walking up to the clearance
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: table containing large bags of shoes, and he was seen
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: reaching into the bag, stuffing shoe after shoe into a
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: suitcase that he had in a shopping cart. He then
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: casually walked out of the store. The store shared the
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: footage on social media and explained that the shoes were
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: intended for displays, and that only display on the displays.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: There only is the right shoes, and that's to prevent theft,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: which clearly didn't work. Police are asking anyone who can
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: identify the thief to contact them. I'm guessing in the
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: video the guy has two legs. I mean, I was
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: thinking that maybe when he was still in right shoes,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: that he only had one foot or one leg, and
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: he just was like, Wow, this is my day. This
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: store was set up just for me so I could
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: get all the free shoes that I want. And if
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: he got fifty three shoes that we're all forers right foot,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: assuming that the missing leg is the left one, then
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: that's fifty three pairs of shoes, not pears. But you
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: know what I mean, he's all set. It's not paars.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: It's fifty three individual shoes. But I mean he's got
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: fifty three shoes that he would wear like a normal pair.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: But apparently in the video the guy has two legs.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center. Hey.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Everyone, this is doctor Sean Crusin. I'm the executive director
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: of Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center. I
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: want to tell you about a very special exhibit that
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: we have on display the summer. It's so big that
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: it can't even fit in our own exhibit gallery. It's
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: just too many pieces. This is a collection of items
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: from the personal collection of astronaut David R.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Scott.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Dave Scott flew on Gemini eight with Neil Armstrong. He
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: flew on Apollo nine, a dress rehearsal for the moon landing,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: and then most importantly perhaps he commanded Apollo fifteen, where
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: he became the first person to ever drive a car
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: on the service of the Moon. Because Dave's brother Tom
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: lived and worked here in Columbus, Georgia, with our Columbus
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Chamber of Commerce. We got to be good friends with Tom.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Tom has coordinated a very generous donation of artifacts and
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: memorabilia from the Scott Brothers collection to us here at

  Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center. And again, that collection got
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: so overwhelmingly large we couldn't put it on display here.

  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of square and that
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: away for you. And while they're there you can always
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: And they do those as well. Seven oh six thy
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: five eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five

• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show right after the break. So what is
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: everybody watching these days? Nielsen released its list of most
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: stream shows so far in twenty twenty five, and just
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: like last year, it is topped by Bluey, the Australian
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: puppy that has just over twenty f five billion minutes
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: viewed from January through June of this year. They're at
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: number two Gray's Anatomy with over two point five billion minutes,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: and the rest of the top ten mostly animated series
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: or TV dramas ncis, Family Guy, Bob's Burger's, SpongeBob SquarePants,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Big Bang Theory, The Rookie, Squid Game, and Law and
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Order SVU. It's interesting to me that anything that doesn't
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: have a large quantity of episodes would be in the list.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Most of these shows have a lot of episodes, but
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Squid Game, like, you're dedicated if you're watching and rewatching
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: and rewatching squid Game. That's all I'm getting at all
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: these show, all these TV shows, including blue and the
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: animated more adult shows like Family Guy and Bob's Burgers
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: a lot of episodes. There's a lot of episodes of
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: SpongeBob that's been going on for a really, really long time.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: So yes, I think that the real standout in this
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: story is the fact that squid Game is at number nine.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: That's pretty impressive. I think latest term sweeping social media
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: is kind of like the gen Z version of ok boomer.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: It's called the gen Z stared. It describes the emotionless,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: deadpan look many gen Zers allegedly given everyday interactions like
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: they're buffering, but in real life it's being described as
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: when the gen Z stare is something specifically when somebody
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: does not respond or just doesn't have any reaction in
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: a situation where a response is either required or just reasonable.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: This according to TikToker Jena, and she says recent flight,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: she asks the gen Zer to put a bag under
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: her seat, only to be met with a stare instead
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: of a response. Some say it's the side effect of
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: growing up online. Others say it's social anxiety and lack
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: of social skills as a result of the pandemic. But
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: gen Z, they're saying, maybe they're just tired of nonsense questions.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Plenty of examples in pop culture. Olivia and Paula from
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: White Lotus who practically invented the icy blink and TikTok
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: full of skits and memes and things with people just
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: doing these stare looks. So yeah, I've probably encountered this
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: many times. Didn't know that there was a term for it.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: I just thought, I guess I assumed when I've encountered
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: it or seen it that it is probably.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: More of the.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Just being tired of nonsense questions. I think I think
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: there's some gen X to it too, somewhere in there,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: because I think we don't like, we have no patience
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: for that. But I don't think we're just stare at you.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: We're going to say something, probably probably with a bit
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: of sarcasm. I think that's what the gen X version
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: of that is. The latest decore trend is u core,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: also known as messy girl esthetic. U core emphasizing a
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: personal expression, comfort, or intentional clutter rather than striving for pristine,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: minimalist looks. This style encourages you to fill your space
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: with items that reflect your style, personality, memories, and interests.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I mentioned this because when I do this, people look
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: at me funny. When I put all my little toys around,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm looking around now, and I do see
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: a few toys. It's just that's what fills my space.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: These are things that you know, are encouraged with this.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Look my memories, my interests. I've got a Millennium falcon
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: here in front of me, three D printed by my
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: buddy Andy, who gave it to me. And you know,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: it's filling my space with things that give me good memories.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. I didn't realize that we had
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: to make it a thing so it could be justified.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: How much do people love their pets? The survey of
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: pet owners found thirty one percent said they would date
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: an AI generated human version of their pet. That's kind
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: of weird. That's that's weird, right. Eighty one percent refused
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: to date someone who doesn't like their pet. Eighty seven
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: percent would be willing to give up their dream apartment
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: if it isn't pet friendly. A sixty six percent prioritizing
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: their pets needs over their own AI win. This weird,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: though the others that's all fine. You know you're going
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: to give up an apartment because it's not pet friendly.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: That's what you want to do. You want to live
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: with your pet, want to date your pet. That's kind
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: of weird. That's very weird. There's a lot of weird there. Okay,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: could money lure you away from your relationship? It seems
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: many people would say yes to this. How much money?
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: According to a new survey, forty three percent they would
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: say that they would leave their romantic partner for a
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: million dollars. What else would people do for a million dollars?
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Forty one percent said they would give up nighttime activities.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Fifty nine percent said that they would ditch technology and
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: live off the grid. Fifteen percent said they would frame
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: a friend for a crime they didn't commit. All right,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: so people would dump their partner, live off the grid,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: betray a friend for a million dollars. What would they
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: do for thirty three million dollars? Forty percent said they
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: would take thirty three million, even if it meant ruining
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: someone else's life financially. Forty six percent would risk their
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: life in a real life squid game for thirty three
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: million dollars. I guess these are the people that are
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: watching it over and over again. And just a reminder,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: if you haven't watched it, almost everybody dies in the game.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: You know, It's like ninety nine zero point eight percent
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: people survive. Eighty one percent said they would embarrass themselves
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: on live TV for thirty three million dollars. However, thirteen
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: percent would embarrass themselves on TV for just five thousand
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: dollar and some even said they would do it for
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: five hundred dollars. That'll do it for this Friday edition
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank
• 26:10
