  Speaker 2: year Katie Sackoff, Diana Lee and Esanto and some others.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: You'll know them soon enough. I don't like saying them
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: until the interview's done. I like the interview to be done,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: and I've already done my interview with those two, So
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: that's where I'm at. All Right, let's jump into some
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: positive news before we dive into the strange and bizarre
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: news from around the world. And we'll start with Houston, Texas.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Remember hearing this guy Jim Mattress, Mac Macking, Veil, Mcingveil,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I guess as I say and He's done a number
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: of stunts and gimmicks and things over the years, and
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: he's a community driven guy. With his mattress store. He
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: opened Gallery Furniture Stores as a shelter to those displaced
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: by Hurricane Harvey back in twenty seventeen. Well, Mattress Mac
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: has been stepping up for those affected by flooding in
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the last month, and he launched a campaign called Purchase
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: with a Purpose that provides a mattress to a family
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: in need for every mattress purchased. More than fifty volunteers
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: recently unloaded five eighteen wheelers full of mattresses at a
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: nearby high school. More than four hundred mattresses were given
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: to families in need. Mattress Mac says he hopes that
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: this inspired there's even more Texans to lend a hand.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: He says, it's important for us to give back to
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the community. We've done that for the past forty four years,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: and it's important for Texans to help Texans. That's something
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: we've done for two hundred years. So we're here to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: help Texas and there's a lot of need. Obviously, nicely done,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Mattress Mac. Not the first time we hear of Mattress
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Mac doing nice things, and I'm sure it won't be
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the last way to go, Mattress Mac. This is kind
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: of a fun story. It's a you know, kind of odd,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: but it's still fun. Timothy Sullivan, a farmer from Ohio,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: wanted to propose and decided, you know, let's take it
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: up a notch. So he planted a thirteen acre corn
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: maze that spelled out will you marry me Caroline. After
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: months of planning and planting, the big reveal happened when
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: he convinced Caroline to take a flight with him over
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the cornfield. He told Caroline he wanted to learn how
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: to fly. In reality, he just wanted her to see
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the cornfield. I mean, that's what he planted it for,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: he said. I was just like so amazed that somebody
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: put that much effort into planning a proposal like that.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, that's what she said, according to Caroline, And
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: you know, I expected he would do something quite elaborate
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: and intentional, but nothing to that extreme by any means.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: She accepted the proposal, and the couple is planning to
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: get married sometime in summer of twenty twenty six. No
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: word on really whether or not they're gonna get married.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I mean they should get married in the cornfield, right,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: that just makes sense, or at least maybe by then
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: he can learn how to fly and he can land
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: on the plane and have the ring, and that's how
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: they could Maybe they could leave, you know, cans hanging
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: off the back of the plane, some of those kind
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: of things. I don't know. All right, that's some positive stuff,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: that's some good stuff. Now it's time to dive into
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: this strange in bizarre news. And you know the little
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Boo boos, right, the old La Boo boos. Well, we've
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: now gotten to the point where we have a little
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: booboo crime. Police in southern California have cracked the case
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: involving thousands of dollars of stolen La Boo boos, these
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: collectible plush toys folks of all ages trying to get
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: their hands on. Authorities say the toys were swiped from
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: a warehouse in Chino over several days and ultimately found
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: at a home in the nearby Upland area. Cops recovered
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: fourteen boxes of La Boo Boo's worth about thirty thousand dollars.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: The toys were reportedly being prepped for resale. Not a
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: surprise there, because they're really hard to find, and you know,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: the original seller, PopMart is hard to get them from them.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Online resellers are charging quite a bit for them. So yeah,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: if you steal a bunch of them and you're gonna
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: sell them, you're probably gonna get a lot of money
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: for them. I get it, you know, these LT boo boos.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Especially if they had just hung on to them, they'd
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: managed to keep them quiet until closer to Christmas. Oh man,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: they might have really been able to cash in that way.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Not that I'm advocating the theft, no, no, no, I'm
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: not on their side. I'm just pointing out if only
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: that's probably what they're thinking. If they've been charged, they're
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: probably thinking, oh, we could I just held on to
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: them until Christmas time. A Brooklyn man facing serious prison
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: time after pleading guilty to attempting to smuggle hundreds of
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: protected turtles into Hong Kong. Federal prosecutors say We Kwang
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Lin admitted to illegally exporting about eight hundred and fifty
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Eastern box turtles and three toad box turtles, species known
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: for their colorful markings and high value in the pet trade,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: especially in China and Hong Kong. The turtles were an
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: estimated one point four million dollars in value and were
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: packed in socks and shipped in boxes labeled plastic animal toys.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Authorities intercepted the shipments during a border inspection found the
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: reptiles bound and taped inside knotted socks. Lynn now faces
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: up to five years in prison, three years of supervisor release,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: and a fine of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Sentencing expected to happen in late December. So, yeah, they're
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: just plastic toys. They're just toys that are just you know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: they're wrapped up in socks. That's all. They are, just toys.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: No big deal, nothing there, nothing to see, no big deal.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: An Irish farmer has decided to sell his farm and
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: give away all his money to the poor, but instead
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: of being commended for his generosity, he's being blocked by
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Ireland's High Court. The man, in his forties, sold his
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: farm for about six hundred and fifty thousand dollars has
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: already donated about three hundred and eighty thousand dollars to
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: homeless people and others that are struggling He told authorities
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: that God instructed him to give away all his money
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to secure a place in heaven, but his generosity raised
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: red flags. His bank accounts are now an overdraft, and
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: just last week he handed over one thousand dollars in
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: cash to a homeless woman that he met on the street.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Concern for his well being, the Irish High Court has
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: appointed a guardian task with protecting his best interests. The
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: guardian now has authority to monitor his finances and take
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: necessary steps to prevent further financial harm. The guy is
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: just trying to earn his place in heaven. That's the instructions, apparently,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: says he got. You know, if you just sell your house,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: give everything away to the needy, to the people that
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: need it, then then you know you'll be granted access
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: to heaven. And they're just not letting him in the door.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: They're not going to help him. Hey. Uh. Police in
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Minnesota say that a seventy year old motorcyclist, Lonnie Corey,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: kept riding his motorcycle after his sister was thrown off
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: the back of his Harley Davidson. Just thrown right off
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: the back. The two were reportedly heading home from a
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: bar in Prescott, Wisconsin, when Corey clipped the back of
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: another vehicle while trying to pass. The impact caused the
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: motorcycle to wobble, throwing his sixty year old sister off
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: the bike, but Corey didn't stop. Instead, cameras show him
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: pausing briefly at the top of the next ramp, looking back,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and then driving away. Brother of the Year whitness is
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: called nine one one and medics arrived to find his
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: sister with a severe head injury. See this is where
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: he gets sad. You know, had to get the joke
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: in before we get to the head injury. She remains hospitalized.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: When police arrived at Corey's home later that night, he
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: reportedly admitted he knew she'd fallen off, but said he
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: got scared and just kept driving. A preliminary breath test
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: showed his blood alcohol level well over the legal limit. However,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: he hasn't been charged with anything alcohol related. I guess
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: maybe it was too much of a gap. I don't know.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: He was charged with criminal vehicular operation resulting in great
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: bodily harm and leaving the scene of a crash at
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: seventy I mean they in sixty, I mean their parents
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: may be still alive. I'm guessing not, because I would
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: think he'd have a lot of explaining to do, especially
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: if it was his mom. Moms aren't going for that.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Headline says, if you can read this shirt, my sister
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: fell up an animal at a rescue shelter Rhode Island
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: looking for someone to adopt a pet parrot with a
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: vocabulary more colorful than its feathers, and Scott felt that
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: are quite colorful. The Forever Paul's Animal Shelter in Fall
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: River received a twenty year old parrot named Hendrix who
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: was surrendered by its owner. Hendricks came to the facility
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: in pretty bad shape, malnourished because the owner wasn't feeding
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: him the proper diet for a parrot. It's arriving at
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: the shelter and getting the necessary care. He's made a
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: swift recovery and now ready to be adopted to a
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: forever home. The problem, though, is that potential adopters need
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: to know that Hendrick speaks a lot and has a
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: very vulgar vocabulary. A post on the shelter social media warning,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: if you adopt Hendricks, you're basically adopting Samuel L. Jackson. Yeah,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Chantell Rogers, of staffer at Forever Paul's says, sometimes when
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: you give him something, he'll say thank you. If you
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: call him a pretty bird, he'll say thank you. He'll
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: say good morning baby. And that's about as far as
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: he goes. With the nice cities. It's a lot of slurs, curses,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: things you can't repeat on camera. This is according to
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: the woman from the shelter.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: So I would think maybe this could be a really
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: popular item, this pet, this bird. That's what I would
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: think it maybe just maybe it could be, uh, you
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: know exactly the pet bird that somebody needs. Michigan Highway
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: was left in a mess after a truck sprung a
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: leak and covered the roadway in thousands of pounds of
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: chocolate syrup. Interstate seventy five Monroe County driver was flagged
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: down by a passer by who noticed chocolate spewing out
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: of the back. The driver safely pulled over and walked
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: to the back, and that's where they saw chocolate fountain
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: coming out. Local police and firefighters jumped into action with
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: cleanup gear. Social media show puddles of chocolate coating the pavement.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: The truck was eventually patched up. The ramp was cleaned,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: driver sent on his way.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: No word on exactly how much chocolate was lost. Probably
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: a decent amount, though I mean probably a lot of chocolate.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: A Wisconsin woman has been told to go straight to
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: jail after she pleaded guilty to forging lottery tickets at
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: the gas station where she worked. Twenty six year old
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Hope Johnson admitted to printing more than eight hundred lottery
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: tickets without paying for them, costing the gas station over
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: eighty eight hundred dollars. She then allegedly took the winnings
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: to another gas station at Casha Man, pocketing more than
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: twenty eight hundred dollars in winnings. She's been sentenced to
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: ten days in jail two years probation in order to
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: pay thirteen thousand dollars in restitution. She is also prohibited
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: from working anywhere that sells lottery tickets. Wonder why why
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: can't she work somewhere that sells lottery tickets. Today's show

  Speaker 2: Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: this is a major city traction that happens right here
• 15:02

• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after our calls. There's
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help. And they do those
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty five
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: after the break. So do you and your partner like
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: to gossip about other people? If so, you're probably happier
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: and more bonded than couples who don't gossip. But I
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: thought gossip was bad. This is According to a new
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: study from the University of California Riverside Study, participants gossiped
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: for an average of thirty eight minutes per day, with
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: twenty nine of those minutes spent gossiping with their significant other,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: and it seems that gossip after a social event really
• 18:01
