Strange and Bizarre News with Goats, a Horse and a Kangaroo · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

0:01
Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:08
Friday morning, a first day of March. Welcome to March. I'm Wes.
0:13
Thanks for joining me. It's been kind of a heavy week, I
0:17
think, so a lot going on. It's been a very heavy week.
0:23
Thank goodness. It's Friday. That means it's time for some strange and bizarre
0:30
news stories from around the world. I promise we don't have anything as disgusting
0:38
as several stories last week. I know the orifice week was rough last week.
0:44
I know that we do have a couple that I mean, you know,
0:49
but we're going to get into them. You want to do it first,
0:52
we can do it first. We can get it out of the way
0:54
and then move on if that's what you want to do. I mean,
0:57
it's not anything nearly as disgusting as last week. So we'll just start with
1:03
a Florida culinary expert, a cook cook I don't know. He's basically decided
1:11
that he is going to eat raw chicken every day, raw chicken. His
1:18
name is John no last name given, has been eating raw chicken every day
1:23
for weeks, and he promises to keep doing it until he gets sick.
1:27
A tummy ache, I guess is the word he used. Medical experts strongly
1:32
advise against the practice, saying that issues can go far beyond just an upset
1:38
stomach or tummy ache. You can get bloody diarrhea. Those two words that
1:44
right there makes me not even want to eat cook chicken. You just hear
1:48
the words. Oh, you can also get a fever, vomiting, stomach
1:53
cramps, parasites, and more. The Daredevil, who has has tried raw
2:00
challenges, including beef kangaroo brains, says he doesn't see any danger. He
2:07
says, in Japan, they'll have raw chicken on menus. He says,
2:13
I don't think it's the raw chicken itself that will kill you. It's more
2:15
what they're doing to the animals in the factory farms. If something happens to
2:20
me, it's my fault. But I'm pretty sure that I'll be fine.
2:23
If he's got a track record and he's eating brains, and he's not a
2:30
character on The Walking Dead, one of many characters on the way, I
2:35
think he's uh, I don't know. I think he's disgusting, That's what
2:38
I think. I can't even imagine anything close to that ah, eating raw
2:46
chickens disgusting, all right. I don't even like cutting up chicken to cook
2:50
it. I'll do it. I don't like cutting it up. I don't
2:52
even like touching it. It's raw. I don't want to do it.
2:54
Not if I can help it, I do it, but I don't want
2:59
to do it, all right, A so needless to say, I'm not
3:02
like cleaning fish. You know. I'm not pulling birds feathers off off the
3:08
birds themselves and cleaning them. I'm not doing that. All right, Let's
3:14
go to this story again, a little bit of uh. It's just got
3:16
a word in it a couple of times, but it's in the spirit of
3:20
the story. British art gallery owner didn't really think through his plan to recover
3:30
a stolen male organ that was stolen off of a statue in his hometown.
3:38
He offered penis amnesty to the person who stole it. Dale Wells made the
3:44
offer to anybody who would return the goods and get amnesty in instead of the
3:53
junk from the statue. He's been receiving unrelated boxes of things. He runs
4:00
a gallery in Grimsby, England, and he says he didn't mind being swamped
4:06
with body parts from statues, but he knew that they were fakes because he
4:14
says, it looks like clay. I mean, I haven't bitten into them
4:16
or anything like that. I don't know why he went there, he says,
4:19
but yeah, they're just simply clay. And he basically if anybody is
4:29
sending more that they could stop doing that. It's inhospitable. Something only someone
4:34
British could say. That's quite inhospitable. So yeah, I think it through.
4:40
If you're asking people to send you sculpted Wieners, you're gonna have that
4:49
kind of response, I think, I mean, you just have to assume
4:53
that, right, all right, one more, it's different kind of gross.
4:58
We're moving away from the you know, not that that one's especially gross.
5:00
It just has references to wieners. While being arrested for drunk driving.
5:06
It is a handful of things you could do to make things worse. You
5:11
know, there's certain things that you just don't do. Resisting arrest is certainly
5:15
one of those things. The more obstinate you get, that's not helping your
5:19
cause. Well. Police in Las Vegas responded to a call about a domestic
5:23
disturbance and a report about a drunk man who was driving aggressively and trying to
5:27
hit his ex wife. When police got to the area, they saw Franko
5:30
Fois speeding in his car and pulled him over. They discovered that he was
5:34
driving with a revoked license and also observed that he had bloodshot, watery eyes
5:41
and was slurring his speech and smelled of alcohol. That's like the trifecta.
5:45
That's four things, isn't it one two, three, four? Yeah,
5:47
so that's the quad fecta. I'm not a numbrologist. He refused to blow
5:55
in the breathalyzer. That's this sink fecta, and they play him underarrest,
6:00
obtained a search warrant for a blood test. As a Foe was being transported
6:03
to the police station, he threatened to kick out the windows of the patrol
6:06
car, said he would punch the officer in the face when the cuffs were
6:10
taken off, getting worse, and then he was being led into the station,
6:15
he decided to And I don't know how he did this. If he
6:17
was cuffed, maybe they had him cuffed in the front. I don't know.
6:20
A Foa unzipped his pants and deliberately urinated on a police officer's leg.
6:25
He now faces multiple charges that include dui driving with a revoked license and urinating
6:30
on a police officer. I didn't know that was a specific charge it should
6:34
be. I thought maybe it would fall under assault something like that, but
6:41
no, it's apparently that's the name of the charge, urinating on a police
6:45
officer. You can't do that. A twenty one year old Kentucky man with
6:49
good taste in cars and no knowledge of how much they cost, was arrested
6:54
a week ago after he tried to purchase a Porsche with a personal check written
6:58
in the amount of seventy eight eight million dollars. Police in Louisville say Connor
7:04
Litka wanted a Porsche and walked into a dealership and said he it's time to
7:11
buy the car, so he presented them with a massive check the dealer correctly
7:15
assumed was fake. After the dealer informed Litka that he would not be selling
7:18
him the Porsche or Porsche, the disappointed shopper walked into the parks department and
7:25
looked for keys to the vehicle. He also refused to leave and said he
7:28
wasn't going anywhere until he got his car. Police arrived at the dealership and
7:31
placed Litka under arrest, charged with criminal trespassing, disorderly conduct, and urinating
7:38
on a police officer. No, he wasn't charge with that. Just today.
7:41
Earlier, Litka walked into a land Rover dealership with a twelve million dollar
7:45
check trying to buy a car. So guess he figured it needed to be
7:48
more. I guess he thought maybe he underpriced the car, or maybe he
7:55
just thought, well, a Porsche is definitely more expensive than the land Rover.
7:58
I guess. A New Mexico man broke into a home and drank a
8:05
cup of hot chocolate and then ate some instant noodles. The homeowner found Tommy
8:09
Lee Lacero snuggled up in her bed after she returned home from work last Saturday.
8:15
This sounds terrifying. She screamed at him to get him out, before
8:20
running to a neighbor's house to call nine one one, which did no good
8:24
because Lacero stuck around for the cops to come. When the officers asked the
8:28
victim to do a walk through to see if anything was missing, she found
8:31
remnants of the snack that the forty four year old intruder made. She also
8:35
noticed that he'd moved some men's grooming products from a guest room to her bathroom.
8:41
In addition to that, La Saro left his shoes behind and attempted to
8:45
take off wearing a pair that belonged to the victim. No word on if
8:48
he urinated on one of the police officers. UM, sorry, all right,
8:56
texar Canada, Texas about a week could go. Family decided it's a
9:01
nice day, let's take our pet to the park. The problem is their
9:05
pet was a kangaroo, and some people got upset and called police. Police
9:11
received a call about the kangaroo on the loose and responded to Spring Lake Park
9:16
expecting to find something mistakenly identified as a kangaroo. When they got there,
9:22
they were surprised to actually find an actual kangaroo hopping around the park, but
9:26
they quickly understood this was not an escaped animal that needed to be captured.
9:31
It was, in fact, a pet kangaroo named Rocky, who was enjoying
9:35
the park with his family. Officers posed for photos with Rocky and then left
9:39
him to continue enjoying his day. I don't know who owns a kangaroo in
9:43
Texarcana. That's a pretty darn cool pet. They got a nice photo they
9:48
posted with him. They're holding him. No word on if Rocky urinated on
9:52
any of the police officers. A Polish man is looking at up to five
9:56
years behind bars after he stole a horse and then tried to hide it in
10:01
his third floor apartment. Police thought they were being punked when someone called to
10:05
report a man leading an adult horse up the stairs or their walk up apartment
10:11
building, but officers were dispatched to check it out and surprised to learn that
10:16
the report was accurate. A nineteen year old had stolen a horse and walked
10:18
it back to his apartment building, where he thought that they could hide it
10:24
in his home on the third floor. He was still trying to get the
10:26
animal up the stairs when police arrived and was arguing with his angry neighbors.
10:33
Officers took control of the horse, let it back down the stairs. How
10:35
do you do that? I thought you can't do that. How do you
10:39
lead a horse down? I thought you could go up and not down.
10:43
They then returned the animal to its rightful owner, who had already reported it
10:46
stolen. The thief was arrested and charged with theft, not going to say
10:52
anything about urinating on police. Officers. I guess I just did. Though.
10:56
A Missouri man failed miserably in his attempt to commit insurance fraud, and
11:01
in the end he had no leg to stand on. Back in November,
11:03
a sixty year old suffered a tragic accident on a farm when a brush hog
11:09
rotary moor, chopped off both of his legs, or so he said.
11:13
Police responded to a nine to win to one call at the farm and found
11:16
the man with both legs missing and tourniquets on both stumps. In the months
11:20
following the supposed accident, investigators began to doubt his story. First of all,
11:22
the man was paraplegic with no use of his legs before the accident,
11:28
which of course led investigators to question how did he get in the path of
11:31
the moor. They also wondered how his wounds were so clean when they were
11:35
supposedly chopped off by farm equipment, and why there wasn't a big, nasty,
11:39
bloody mess. Also, his severed legs were nowhere to be found.
11:45
The investigation eventually concluded that he had tried to commit insurance fraud by staging the
11:50
accident. In fact, he paid a man to hack off his legs.
11:54
With a hatchet. Yee, since he couldn't feel him anyway. Least say
12:00
that, since he hadn't yet filed acclaim with his insurance company, no fraud
12:03
charges were filed. Ye. A man in India tried to turn himself into
12:13
a human piggy bank. Well not really, doctor sa. Twenty six year
12:16
old man came to them complaining about severe stomach pains and then informed them that
12:22
he'd swallowed thirty nine coins and thirty seven magnets because he thought the zinc in
12:26
the coins would help him build his body. He swallowed the magnets to make
12:33
sure that the coins would stay inside his gut. Because he believed he could
12:39
absorb the zinc from the coins. Doctors had to perform surgery to remove every
12:46
piece of metal from the man's intestines. He spent a week in the hospital
12:50
to recover and has been sent home and is said to be in better I
12:54
guess better condition. I mean that's a bit of an understatement, right.
12:58
So he thought by swallowing the coins, they alone would provide the zinc he
13:03
needed in his body, and that the magnets would hold the coins in his
13:11
stomach so that they would absorb longer. I get I don't understand how the
13:16
magnets and the coins wouldn't pass. Why did he not think that? What
13:20
made him think that the magnets were going to just stay? Was he holding
13:26
a larger magnet against his gut? Maybe? I don't know. That's weird
13:31
all right. Finally, hundreds of goats were hired by the city of Arlington,
13:35
Texas, with the hopes that they would do some landscaping work in a
13:39
part. Turns out the goats didn't really feel like doing any work and just
13:43
decided to start roaming around the city brought in two hundred hungry goats to clear
13:48
unwanted plants and grass from Crystal Canyon at Natural Area, but the animals managed
13:54
to escape from the fenced area ended up wandering through nearby neighborhoods. PO Lice
13:58
received multiple nine calls reporting a large herd of goats on the loose. Officers
14:05
assistant animal wranglers who work to lead the herd back to the park to finish
14:09
their job. Fortunately, none of the goats were lost or injured. I
14:13
just wondered that, like, how do you make sure you get all the
14:16
goats back? That's impressive that they somehow managed to get all of the goats
14:22
back, especially without any of them being on an officer's leg. Today's show
14:26
brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring and
14:31
educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all
14:39
ages. I mean they do it for school age kids as school age kids
14:43
visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through their
14:46
university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers
14:54
in space and STEM fields are booming right now, and you can learn more
14:58
about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
15:07
also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration
15:13
that they do with the Schwob School of Music from Columbus State University called Music
15:18
under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
15:22
It's one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
15:26
you think, is this really in Columbus Georgia. I mean, this
15:30
is a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus, inside the Planetarium
15:37
at the Coca Cola Space Science Center, and the new season of Music under
15:41
the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check out
15:46
when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can get outside. Sometimes
15:50
you do it at the Co Cola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside
15:56
somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you
15:58
can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website,
16:03
it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org,
16:10
I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC
16:17
dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
16:21
For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have
16:26
regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
16:32
that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company
16:37
of Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you, and while they're
16:41
there, you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
16:45
you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite
16:49
what you want it to be, and you need some repair work done to
16:52
the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
16:56
it's making a noise when your garage door open and closes. Maybe it's some
17:00
sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes that
17:06
stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd
17:11
like to add a screen door to your garage door system that you can put
17:15
down and you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
17:19
You know, if you like to work on your own cars in there,
17:22
or maybe you just want a little man caved you'd like to be able
17:26
to open the door up and not invite all the insects in. They can
17:29
do that for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
17:33
There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
17:37
your garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help, And they
17:41
do those as well. Seven oh six thory five eight forty five hundred seven
17:45
oh six three five eight forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol
17:52
Morning Show right after the break. Well, if it's a dream of yours
18:03
to travel the world, Holland America can make your dream and reality. The
18:07
cruise line is offering a four month journey that will take travelers around the world
18:11
with stops in all seven continents, even Antarctica. The twenty twenty six Grand
18:18
World Voyage will leave from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on January fourth of twenty
18:23
twenty six, and Mike stops at forty seven ports in thirty nine countries before
18:27
returning to Florida one hundred and thirty two days later. Cost of the trip
18:32
has not been determined yet, but based on previous Holland America Grand World Voyages,
18:37
it will likely be more than twenty five grand per person. It sounds
18:45
pretty fun, sounds exciting. Also sounds like a lot of time on a
18:48
boat. You know, a lot of time on a boat. Hundreds of
18:56
people gathered for a candlelight vigil in Charleston, West Virginia, a week ago
19:02
to say their final goodbyes to their beloved Hooters, the chain known for wings
19:07
burgers and Waitresses closed its final location in West Virginia, announced that the building
19:14
would be demolished to make room for a new gas station, sheets gas station.
19:21
The news broke their hearts of many Hooters fans in the area, and
19:22
they gathered at the location when last time, shed a few tears, share
19:26
some memories of their time spending the restaurant, and chant long live Hooters.
19:33
This sounds like a good time. I mean, it is other than the
19:37
sadness of them losing their Hooters, but it sounds like a good time.
19:41
They at least get some chicken wings out of the deal. I don't know
19:44
what happens at these kind of events. Do you get some wings? I
19:48
don't know. According to a new study, men are more likely than women
19:52
to gain weight after they get married, particularly in the first five years.
19:56
Researchers discovered that marriage is associated with a significant effect on the BMI scores for
20:02
men, but found there was not a similar trend with women after they got
20:06
married, and the reason isn't complicated. The study found that after marriage,
20:10
men tend to eat more and exercise less. Yeah, that's what happens.
20:15
It's the dadbod, That's what it is. Even if they're not a dad
20:18
yet, but you know, working on it. So you know the Stanley
20:22
Cup thing. Every time I say Stanley Cup, I think of hockey.
20:26
But you know, people were going crazy buying those Stanley's, and I guess
20:33
now people are trying to sell photos of their Stanley's to people that can't afford
20:40
or can't access them. Some of the selling points for these attempted sales of
20:45
these photos, and I guess people are buying them. I don't know,
20:48
says, we can't all afford a three hundred dollar cup, so why don't
20:52
you get the next best thing? A picture? Okay, yeah, so
20:56
a three hundred dollar cup. You can buy a picture sure of the three
21:00
hundred dollar cup for one hundred and fifty dollars. I'll sell you a picture
21:03
of a cup from my house for I don't know, five bucks, two
21:08
bucks a dollar buy me lunch at Hooters. I'll be happy to trade you
21:15
a picture of one of the cups in my house. I've got some good
21:18
cups. Looking at a cool coffee mug right now, right in front of
21:23
me, I'll send you a picture of that for a dollar. About that's
21:27
talk a little bit about gen Z apparently, The gen Z crowd is shaking
21:36
things up in the workplace, and they've been do it in a lot of
21:37
different ways. But apparently they're not afraid to ask for more money. A
21:41
new survey by the American Staffing Association, the Old ASA and Harris Pohl says
21:45
sixty six percent of employees between the ages of eighteen and twenty seven intend to
21:49
ask for a raise this year. This makes sense, especially since an earlier
21:55
survey found gen Z workers were at least likely to consider seventy fourth thousand dollars
22:00
a or were the least likely, I should say, to consider seventy four
22:06
thousand dollars a middle class salary. Speaking of gen Z, they apparently have
22:15
been prioritizing mental health and that translates to the workplace, as new research has
22:21
found that gen Z workers are more likely to call out sick for a mental
22:26
health day than older workers. And while it's good that young workers are taking
22:30
care of themselves, it's also calls for concern for job experts. They say
22:34
it's worrying that young people in their early twenties just embarking on adult life are
22:38
more likely to be out of work due to ill health than those in their
22:42
early forties, and they say sometimes it's not just a mental health day that
22:48
they scatter around here and there. Sometimes they just aren't able to work at
22:52
all. Between twenty twenty and twenty twenty three, two and five young people
22:56
were workless due to ill health health and stated that a mental health problem was
23:02
their main health problem. So there you go. I don't know what it
23:06
means long term, but I mean, I think it's good when you start
23:11
talking about people prioritizing mental health. It is a little concerning when it's such
23:17
a young age, isn't it. Maybe it's preventive care. I don't know.
23:21
There's nothing like a good occasional mental health day, though, really does
23:25
feel good when you can just take the day, not be sick, maybe
23:29
get some things done. Even if it's binge watching the show, sometimes it's
23:33
good. That'll do it. For this Friday edition of the show, thanks
23:37
to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back
