0:01
Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:06
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Friday morning, first day of May. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:16
Speaker 2: joining me. You the justin Timberlake or more of a
0:22
Speaker 2: Joey Fatone guy.
0:23
Speaker 3: Myself.
0:23
Speaker 2: Nothing against Timberlake, I just, you know, never hung out
0:27
Speaker 2: with Timberlake at Dragon Con. I'm hung out with Fatone
0:31
Speaker 2: a Dragon Con, you know. But what you're gonna do?
0:34
Speaker 2: He didn't have any of those famous hot dogs though
0:37
Speaker 2: that he sells the fat Ones hot dogs. I admire
0:43
Speaker 2: the Joey Fotone thing with the hot dogs. I really
0:46
Speaker 2: do think about the fact that in the height of
0:51
Speaker 2: the Encinct Craze. Okay, and I know you're listening to this,
0:55
Speaker 2: you may have missed out on the Encinct Craze.
0:57
Speaker 3: I mean you're.
0:57
Speaker 2: Familiar with it, I'm sure, but you probably weren't listening
1:01
Speaker 2: the Top forty music at the time. I don't know,
1:03
Speaker 2: maybe you were. I was programming Top forty music at
1:06
Speaker 2: the time, so I am all too familiar with the
1:11
Speaker 2: boy band Craze. Didn't hate it, it was what it was.
1:15
Speaker 2: I mean, it gave us a lot of listeners, so
1:17
Speaker 2: I'll take it. I'm not complaining at all. But had
1:23
Speaker 2: the boy band, you had n sync and it's five guys.
1:28
Speaker 2: That's the classic for the boy band breakdown as you
1:31
Speaker 2: get five. Although if you go old school, I guess
1:33
Speaker 2: maybe the class that you could argue that the Beatles
1:36
Speaker 2: were a boy band. But I'm talking about the late nineties,
1:40
Speaker 2: early two thousands boy band era. It was like, typically
1:43
Speaker 2: it was five guys. It wasn't always sometimes it was four.
1:47
Speaker 2: But you get five guys and they're all, you know,
1:50
Speaker 2: dancers and singers, and you get them together and you go,
1:54
Speaker 2: can you guys just get along with each other and
1:56
Speaker 2: not kill each other for a while. Make some music.
1:59
Speaker 2: We'll help you with the songs whatever. We'll get you together,
2:02
Speaker 2: we'll put you on tour, will front you a bunch
2:05
Speaker 2: of money that you'll pay us back later. It's kind
2:08
Speaker 2: of the way they work. The record labels were working
2:10
Speaker 2: back then. I don't know if they still are. I
2:11
Speaker 2: assume they probably still are. And for whatever, the record
2:16
Speaker 2: labels are still you know, operating at this point. And
2:20
Speaker 2: then they you know, they they would come out and
2:23
Speaker 2: they would be you know, this is you know so
2:26
Speaker 2: and so the cute one, and this is so and
2:28
Speaker 2: so the athletic one, and this is so and so
2:30
Speaker 2: the aggressive dancer or whatever. I don't know I say
2:35
Speaker 2: aggressive dancer like there, but you know what I mean,
2:38
Speaker 2: they're they're the dancer, the one that really shows off
2:41
Speaker 2: all the dance moves. I think they had a spice girls.
2:45
Speaker 2: It's a great example. They even just named themselves based
2:48
Speaker 2: on you know, what they were going to be, and
2:50
Speaker 2: they were. They weren't even dudes. So anyway, the boy
2:54
Speaker 2: bands had their thing and then they had clearly the
2:58
Speaker 2: standout from en Sync was just and Timberlake, who can't
3:03
Speaker 2: seem to get himself out of trouble. Now you know
3:05
Speaker 2: rumors about him and his wife splitting up because of
3:08
Speaker 2: his drinking. I don't, I don't. I don't dabble in
3:10
Speaker 2: the rumors. I just saw the story. I know he
3:13
Speaker 2: got in trouble for the drunk driving and I know
3:16
Speaker 2: that he the video came out of him while he
3:20
Speaker 2: was doing his sobriety test or whatever.
3:22
Speaker 3: But anyway, and then you got.
3:25
Speaker 2: In this case for end Sync and I'm not running
3:27
Speaker 2: through the full lineup, but you had Timberlake who was
3:29
Speaker 2: the standout, and then there was like.
3:32
Speaker 3: Most people go, well J C.
3:33
Speaker 2: Chase was the you know, he was the really like
3:36
Speaker 2: the unsung hero of that group. And that's fine, and
3:39
Speaker 2: then the other guys, and then you had Joey Fatone,
3:43
Speaker 2: and he was the one who looked a little out
3:47
Speaker 2: of place. I don't I don't know why. You know,
3:50
Speaker 2: he just kind of looked different. The others were kind
3:52
Speaker 2: of scrawny, not that they weren't athletic, but they just
3:56
Speaker 2: kind of looked and he was. He looked like a
3:58
Speaker 2: grown man in there, right, And he was the one.
4:02
Speaker 2: And his last name is fat O n E. And
4:06
Speaker 2: he became like the joke was, oh, well, he's the
4:08
Speaker 2: fat One. He's Joey the fat One. So rather than
4:12
Speaker 2: run from that, the guy opened a hot dog chain,
4:17
Speaker 2: fat One's hot Dogs. And you know it's I like it.
4:21
Speaker 2: I got nothing but respect for Joey Fatone. With that
4:24
Speaker 2: nothing but respect, easily could have tried to hide from it.
4:29
Speaker 2: Probably at some point it couldn't have felt great. Probably
4:33
Speaker 2: wasn't happy to have that kind of nickname. He was
4:38
Speaker 2: probably not excited about waking up every day to hear people, oh,
4:42
Speaker 2: there's Joey the fat One.
4:43
Speaker 3: But he swerved into it. Good for him.
4:47
Speaker 2: It is Friday, before we get to the good news
4:49
Speaker 2: and then the strange and bizarre news. I just wanted
4:52
Speaker 2: to quickly just say this the situation with Jimmy Kimmel
4:56
Speaker 2: and Trump. I know that we've revisited all the stuff
4:59
Speaker 2: again and we haven't talked about the Roseanne thing and
5:02
Speaker 2: how much Jimmy Kimmel was excited Roseanne was fired and
5:05
Speaker 2: all that stuff back in the day. I just wanted
5:07
Speaker 2: to point out the fact that Jimmy Kimmel got trolled
5:12
Speaker 2: by Trump this week and doesn't even know what hit him,
5:17
Speaker 2: has no idea that he got trolled by Trump. But
5:21
Speaker 2: Trump made a joke while the King and Queen were
5:25
Speaker 2: visiting about how, you know how long I guess it
5:32
Speaker 2: was Queen Elizabeth how long they were married, And he
5:36
Speaker 2: said something to Milania about you know, you and I'll
5:39
Speaker 2: never make it to that.
5:41
Speaker 3: We won't live along.
5:42
Speaker 2: I won't live long enough for us to make it
5:43
Speaker 2: to that or something. And then Jimmy Kimmel went on
5:46
Speaker 2: his show and said Trump made a joke about him
5:48
Speaker 2: being old and dying and he should be fired. He
5:52
Speaker 2: was taking a shot at you, Jimmy. I mean, that's
5:54
Speaker 2: what he was doing. He was taking a little shot
5:57
Speaker 2: and you fell for it, so poor Jimmy. All right,
6:01
Speaker 2: it's Friday. So I got a couple of stories here.
6:04
Speaker 2: First one, I love when we get a story about
6:06
Speaker 2: an animal that's they kind of have this oldest in
6:12
Speaker 2: the world moniker that goes with them. And there's a
6:16
Speaker 2: Humboldt penguin named Spineb spn eb. I've never seen a
6:25
Speaker 2: name Spineb, but I'm assuming that's how you pronounce it,
6:31
Speaker 2: and it's written this way in a couple of cases
6:34
Speaker 2: in this story, so I'm gonna assume that that's right.
6:37
Speaker 2: It's not a typo, and I'm not familiar with Humboldt penguins.
6:41
Speaker 3: Maybe I am.
6:42
Speaker 2: I just don't know the name, but I think I'm
6:44
Speaker 2: saying that right as well. So this particular penguin just
6:48
Speaker 2: celebrated his thirty eighth birthday Paradise Park Wildlife Sanctuary in Cornwall, England.
6:55
Speaker 2: Penguins usually live about twenty years maybe, but SPINEB survived
7:01
Speaker 2: in infection back in two thousand and seven and is
7:05
Speaker 2: still going strong and to celebrate the thirty eighth birthday
7:09
Speaker 2: her keepers. Oh, I've been calling him a heap, but
7:11
Speaker 2: that's a I didn't know Spineb was a girl name
7:17
Speaker 2: through a party for her with a special cake. It
7:20
Speaker 2: was dyed blue, packed with cornish sardines and sprats.
7:25
Speaker 3: While she enjoyed.
7:28
Speaker 2: Her cake, zoo visitors were there to watch her. Spineb
7:34
Speaker 2: is thriving in retirement. She still enjoys a healthy appetite.
7:38
Speaker 2: Has a special relationship with a twenty one year old
7:41
Speaker 2: penguin named Prince. Well, there you go, you know, into
7:46
Speaker 2: the cradle with Spineb. So good for her, not necessarily
7:50
Speaker 2: on the younger penguin, I mean, I got no but
7:53
Speaker 2: on thirty eight, that's pretty awesome.
7:57
Speaker 3: All right.
7:57
Speaker 2: Another story that about fosters and adoptions. Peter Mudabazi has
8:10
Speaker 2: He says he knows what it feels like to be
8:11
Speaker 2: a child looking for a place to belong. He grew
8:13
Speaker 2: up in an unstable environment in Uganda. After being taken
8:17
Speaker 2: in by a mentor who changed his life, he decided
8:20
Speaker 2: to pay the kindness.
8:21
Speaker 3: Forward in a big way.
8:23
Speaker 2: Over the last nine years as a single father in Charlotte,
8:26
Speaker 2: North Carolina, he opened his doors to forty seven foster
8:30
Speaker 2: children with a stable home for these kids.
8:33
Speaker 3: Who need it the most.
8:35
Speaker 2: He's used social media to tell the stories and has
8:38
Speaker 2: become known online to his followers as the foster dad Flipper.
8:41
Speaker 2: He uses his platform to show beautiful, messy, rewarding sides
8:45
Speaker 2: of foster care, the realities if you will. This month,
8:48
Speaker 2: he published a heartwarming update about the official adoption of
8:51
Speaker 2: a young boy named Jacob, who spent a staggering sixteen
8:55
Speaker 2: hundred and forty days moving through the foster care system.
8:58
Speaker 2: Peter made it official, welcoming him into the family forever
9:02
Speaker 2: as Elijah Mudabazi. For Peter, the greatest reward isn't the
9:08
Speaker 2: social media likes. It's the joy of hearing a child
9:12
Speaker 2: call him dad for the very first time.
9:14
Speaker 3: It's a nice story. Good job for him.
9:16
Speaker 2: All right, it is Friday. It is time for some
9:20
Speaker 2: strange and bizarre news from around the world. We began
9:23
Speaker 2: ware else but Florida as a this is a good
9:29
Speaker 2: one to start with, I guess, but Florida woman who
9:34
Speaker 2: earned a bit of a reputation as not public Enemy
9:37
Speaker 2: number one, but number two by terrorizing people in our
9:41
Speaker 2: neighborhood with a.
9:44
Speaker 3: Week long.
9:46
Speaker 2: Fecal tossing spree. I mean, you had to know what
9:50
Speaker 2: was coming when I said number two, right, Alexis Weber
9:54
Speaker 2: is her name. She was arrested on Tuesday on charges
9:58
Speaker 2: of criminal mischief after she was linked to the incidents
10:02
Speaker 2: where human waste was tossed into yards and spread on houses, mailboxes,
10:07
Speaker 2: and cars. Police said a detective witness the fifty year
10:11
Speaker 2: old relieving herself in the front yard of her home
10:15
Speaker 2: before placing her under arrest in connection with the vehicle incident.
10:21
Speaker 2: Yvett Gomez said her family contacted authorities after finding the
10:25
Speaker 2: waste smeared along the driver side of her husband's work
10:28
Speaker 2: van and reviewing surveillance video that showed Weber in the act.
10:32
Speaker 2: Gomez said, my husband texted me at work, said his
10:35
Speaker 2: work van covered in waist. I'm at living a little bit,
10:40
Speaker 2: but I was like, what do you mean. He's like, yeah,
10:42
Speaker 2: there's poop on my van, and I just couldn't believe it.
10:45
Speaker 3: So good thing they were.
10:47
Speaker 2: Able to get that taken care of. What a horrible
10:51
Speaker 2: way to start your day for work. You go out
10:53
Speaker 2: and then you got to call your boss, Hey, I'm
10:55
Speaker 2: gonna be a little bit. I gotta go to the
10:56
Speaker 2: car wash. It's discussed. Then you got to tell the
11:00
Speaker 2: guy at the car wash, hey, I gotta do this.
11:04
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but no, it's not from an animal, it's
11:09
Speaker 2: a person. A French teenager left a bad taste in
11:15
Speaker 2: the mouths of authorities spotted licking straws and returning him
11:20
Speaker 2: to the clean straw bent at a juice place vending
11:24
Speaker 2: machine de da gasparred Owen. Maximilian was charged with mischief
11:34
Speaker 2: and public nuisance after uploading a video of the prank,
11:38
Speaker 2: which he captioned city is not safe. The owners of
11:41
Speaker 2: the machine say they're pressing charges because they had to
11:43
Speaker 2: replace several hundred straws that could have been contaminated by
11:47
Speaker 2: the teen Maximilian may have thought the prank was just
11:52
Speaker 2: duvenile fun. Cops taking it seriously, though, facing up to
11:54
Speaker 2: two years in prison for the incident. Two years in
11:58
Speaker 2: prison seems like a lot. However, it's disgusting and this
12:04
Speaker 2: idea that these people on social media have where they
12:06
Speaker 2: think it's just a funny prank, it's disgusting and somebody
12:12
Speaker 2: might have actually used one of those straws. So I
12:14
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe two years is fair. Gotta make it
12:17
Speaker 2: severe so people will stop it. They got to knock
12:19
Speaker 2: it off.
12:21
Speaker 3: Feel old.
12:23
Speaker 2: I feel old reading that story, but you know they
12:25
Speaker 2: need to knock it off. An Indian man recently went
12:28
Speaker 2: to an extreme and it's kind of disgusting as well.
12:32
Speaker 2: To cut through some red tape. G two Munda went
12:36
Speaker 2: to the bank to withdraw his late sister's account after
12:39
Speaker 2: she recently passed away, but he was told he wouldn't
12:41
Speaker 2: be able to access the account without an official death certificate.
12:44
Speaker 2: He didn't have the necessary documentation, so he brought in
12:48
Speaker 2: the next best thing, his dead sister.
12:52
Speaker 3: I'th already say.
12:53
Speaker 2: Munda and his sister's body that had been exhumed so
12:58
Speaker 2: that he could bring it to the bank as proof
13:00
Speaker 2: that she was dead. The scene was captured on video
13:03
Speaker 2: shows him walking into the bank with the body wrapped
13:05
Speaker 2: in plastics slung over his shoulder. The bank says it's
13:07
Speaker 2: working with Monda to get the death certificate and promised
13:11
Speaker 2: to settle the matter quickly. I mean, it could have
13:15
Speaker 2: been worse for the guy, but they asked for proof.
13:20
Speaker 2: They asked for evidence. I guess it's just as well
13:25
Speaker 2: he didn't go in there with a friend and her
13:27
Speaker 2: like weekend at Bernie style. But it's still still pretty morbid.
13:32
Speaker 2: A bit of crying over a lot of spilled milk.
13:36
Speaker 2: Recently in Quebec, Canada, as an overloaded tanker was pulled
13:42
Speaker 2: over when milk was seen leaking out of the top
13:45
Speaker 2: of the tank as the truck was driving along. Officials
13:47
Speaker 2: say the truck was inspected and found to be overfilled,
13:49
Speaker 2: weighing more than twenty six tons over the limit. Quebec's
13:53
Speaker 2: Auto Insurance Board filed the violation and the milk leaf
13:57
Speaker 2: was considered a safety and environmental risk. The owners of
14:01
Speaker 2: the tanker were fined more than five thousand dollars. That's
14:09
Speaker 2: a lot of milk. It's a lot of wasted milk.
14:11
Speaker 2: I don't what's the environmental concern there. I don't know that.
14:14
Speaker 3: I understand that. I mean, I get it.
14:17
Speaker 2: They hate cows, like everybody, environmental people hate cows.
14:20
Speaker 3: I don't know why they don't like us enjoying beef.
14:24
Speaker 3: I don't.
14:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, they wanted the price to be as high as possible.
14:27
Speaker 2: They're reveling in that while the price of beef is up.
14:30
Speaker 3: But I don't know.
14:31
Speaker 2: Another worried about cal farts, they said. But anyway, I
14:34
Speaker 2: don't get the environmental I understand it.
14:36
Speaker 3: It's a waste. But hey, two Florida.
14:39
Speaker 2: Teens facing criminal charges after pair of social media stunts
14:43
Speaker 2: intended to be funny. Here we go again, social media, Haha,
14:46
Speaker 2: it's a prank. According to the Okala Police Department, the
14:49
Speaker 2: two eighteen year olds were arrested after one of them
14:52
Speaker 2: recorded the other driving a lawnmower through the front entrance
14:55
Speaker 2: of a target, causing damage to the door. Police say
14:58
Speaker 2: the night before, the duo entered a Culver's restaurant and
15:02
Speaker 2: used a leaf blower inside the building. One of the
15:04
Speaker 2: teens faces charged of criminal mischief disorderly conduct connected in
15:08
Speaker 2: both incidents. The other charged as a principle with disorderly conduct.
15:13
Speaker 2: Police symphasized these were not harmless pranks, saying the stunts
15:17
Speaker 2: endangered people and caused property damage. Yeah, and nobody wants that,
15:23
Speaker 2: and it's not good for the I would think it's
15:25
Speaker 2: not good for the business at all. You don't want that,
15:28
Speaker 2: especially not the target and the door. Deputies in Lake County, Florida,
15:32
Speaker 2: here we go again. Investigating attempted theft that was caught
15:35
Speaker 2: live online. Authority say two suspects tried to steal twenty
15:38
Speaker 2: thousand dollars worth of air conditioning units from Dell Air

Speaker 2: suspects took off after being confronted verbally through the business's

Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
18:46
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
18:48
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
18:52
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
18:55
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
18:57
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:00
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
19:04
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
19:07
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes
19:11
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
19:14
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
19:17
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
19:20
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
19:23
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
19:26
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
19:28
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
19:30
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
19:32
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
19:35
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
19:38
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
19:41
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
19:44
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
19:47
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thorty five eight forty five

19:53
Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
19:57
Speaker 2: after the break. So horror is having a moment right now,
20:10
Speaker 2: and it's not just about the jump scares. It's a
20:14
Speaker 2: popular genre because it's one of the few places in
20:17
Speaker 2: pop culture that it doesn't pretend everything's okay and that
20:21
Speaker 2: everything's gonna be fine. I mean, by nature, it's kind
20:24
Speaker 2: of very pessimistic, isn't it. Something's coming to get you.
20:29
Speaker 2: It's slowly coming to get you, or it's quickly coming
20:32
Speaker 2: to get you. We're all gonna die. It's not overly
20:36
Speaker 2: positive and optimistic, and basically there's no real neat explanation
20:41
Speaker 2: or happy ending necessarily for horror movies. They lean into dread, grief, uncertainty,
20:47
Speaker 2: and you know, all the anxiety. So basically some of
20:52
Speaker 2: the emotions that people are experiencing right now kind of
20:57
Speaker 2: across the really across the planet, I guess, so they
21:00
Speaker 2: basically feel like that turning those fears into monsters and
21:03
Speaker 2: haunted houses scary movies make those feelings seem more valid,
21:09
Speaker 2: and younger audiences keep coming back for it. So basically,
21:13
Speaker 2: in a stressful, scary world, horror doesn't smooth things over.
21:16
Speaker 2: It kind of tells the truth, I guess, is their
21:18
Speaker 2: perspective on it. I think also, maybe this is my take,
21:24
Speaker 2: and again I'm no expert on all of this, but
21:27
Speaker 2: I do think that maybe it's a little more difficult
21:30
Speaker 2: to inject kind of wokeisms into horror movies. And I
21:35
Speaker 2: know that there are horror movies that do that, notably
21:41
Speaker 2: Get Out is one, but it's a weird thing that
21:46
Speaker 2: they did with get out, and I think a lot
21:49
Speaker 2: of people missed the fact that it was kind of
21:52
Speaker 2: more of an attack, not even kind of. It was
21:54
Speaker 2: an attack on white liberals and sort of the rich
21:59
Speaker 2: white liberals of the world, and a lot of people
22:01
Speaker 2: I think miss that great satire in its own way.
22:05
Speaker 2: But anyway, I think that may be one of those
22:07
Speaker 2: things you're not seeing a whole lot of you know,
22:10
Speaker 2: we're going to inject this particular thing, this this idea
22:16
Speaker 2: that we want to push forward in society. We're reprogramming
22:19
Speaker 2: the brains of people. It's probably sprinkled in there. I
22:22
Speaker 2: just think maybe it doesn't stand out as much after
22:24
Speaker 2: you you know, watch a guy get hacked up.
22:26
Speaker 3: With a machete or whatever.
22:28
Speaker 2: I think he kind of lose the impact of those things.
22:30
Speaker 2: That's just me. Everybody's talking about dirty soda. McDonald's is
22:35
Speaker 2: officially jumping in on the dirty soda trend. Basically, you know,
22:40
Speaker 2: it's that idea of adding other things to SODA's, whether
22:44
Speaker 2: it's you know, foam toppings and things that go in
22:48
Speaker 2: there with it so basically, or flavored toppings that go
22:52
Speaker 2: in there. So McDonald's are adding the dirty doctor pepper,
22:56
Speaker 2: the orange dream the sprite berry blast, cold foam topping,
23:01
Speaker 2: rolling out fruity refreshers as well with lemonade bases, freeze
23:06
Speaker 2: dried fruit, and Boba balls. As a Star Wars fan,
23:11
Speaker 2: my brain, you know, sees Boba balls and thinks of
23:14
Speaker 2: something else. But the new drinks hit menus nationwide a
23:19
Speaker 2: couple of days after Star Wars Day, May the sixth,
23:23
Speaker 2: you know, May the fourth Star Wars Day, May the sixth,
23:26
Speaker 2: you can get Bubba balls.
23:28
Speaker 3: I would kind of.
23:29
Speaker 2: Lean into the Star Wars thing if I'm selling bible balls.
23:34
Speaker 2: Probably not the best idea for McDonald's, but I'm just saying.
23:39
Speaker 2: A mom's simple idea for helping kids with friendship struggles
23:44
Speaker 2: is winning hearts online. A seven year old came home
23:46
Speaker 2: upset about classmates not wanting to play with her, So
23:50
Speaker 2: a mom came up with something called a kind Can.
23:54
Speaker 2: It's a can filled with classmates names. Each day, her
23:57
Speaker 2: daughter picks one and does something kind for that person,
24:00
Speaker 2: no strings attached. The goal is an instant friendship, but
24:03
Speaker 2: shifting the focus away from hurt feelings toward empathy. The
24:06
Speaker 2: mom says, it's a way to keep our hearts open
24:09
Speaker 2: even when they want to close. Parents loving the idea
24:12
Speaker 2: because it's simple, it's empowering, and it teaches kids that
24:15
Speaker 2: kindness can change how.
24:17
Speaker 3: School and life can feel. I like it.
24:21
Speaker 2: I do think there are strings attached. They say no
24:23
Speaker 2: strings attached, but there is an intention and a hope there.
24:26
Speaker 2: And I don't think it's bad strings. But if you
24:29
Speaker 2: do something nice for someone and it hopes that someone
24:32
Speaker 2: will be nice back to you, I think that counts
24:34
Speaker 2: as strings. I just don't think it's necessarily bad strings
24:39
Speaker 2: that are attached.
24:39
Speaker 3: Right.
24:40
Speaker 2: Drivers passing through a recycling and landfill facility in Appleton,
24:44
Speaker 2: Wisconsin did some double takes after they saw a rather
24:49
Speaker 2: unusual speed limit seventeen point three miles per hour. Officials
24:54
Speaker 2: at the Outagamy County Recycling in solid waste facilities say
24:58
Speaker 2: the oddly specific number is designed to snap drivers out
25:02
Speaker 2: of autopilot and make them pay attention. With haulers, contractors,
25:07
Speaker 2: local residents moving through the site daily, safety a priority.
25:11
Speaker 2: This sign is quirky and for that reason it's gone viral.
25:15
Speaker 2: It gets laughs and praise. Research shows changing speed limits
25:18
Speaker 2: alone doesn't always slow drivers. Official say even a brief
25:22
Speaker 2: moment of awareness makes the unconventional approach worthwhile, so good
25:27
Speaker 2: for them.
25:28
Speaker 3: It's a way to do it.
25:29
Speaker 2: I've seen some of these in places before, like ten
25:31
Speaker 2: point one miles an hour and things like that, So
25:34
Speaker 2: fifteen point two but a seventeen point.
25:38
Speaker 3: Three I like it. Good job.
25:41
Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Friday edition of the show.
25:43
