Strange and Bizarre News: Vasectomy Day · 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, fifteenth day of March. I'm West thanks for joining me.
0:13
I told you yesterday, I think it was yesterday that I was gonna just
0:16
remind you. Just take it easy Saint Patrick's Day weekend. Just be careful
0:21
out there. There's no shame in staying at the house. You want to
0:26
drink a little whiskey at home, why not, don't go nuts. If
0:31
you're gonna go out in public, plan accordingly, have a ride set up.
0:36
That's all I'm saying. Just be careful out there. There's nothing wrong
0:39
with enjoying a beverage. It's not really what St Patrick's they supposed to be
0:44
about, but that's what people do. I'm just saying, be careful out
0:47
there. That's all too many options. Make sure you get the uber or
0:50
lift app or whatever on your phone and know how to work it. If
0:55
you're slightly had a couple of beverages, know how to work it. That's
0:59
all I'm saying. How to get a ride home. Maybe take a friend
1:02
with you that doesn't drink. That's always good. Probably got that friend who
1:06
doesn't drink, and people don't invite them a whole lot, or maybe they
1:07
get tired of being invited, but just so that they could be the ride
1:11
home. But just be careful. That's all I'm saying for you this weekend.
1:15
Be very, very careful. The green beers will flow, and just
1:19
be careful out there. That's all I'm telling you. Let's dive into some
1:23
strange and bizarre news from around the world. We got a few good ones
1:27
today. A couple of them involve paper products. I guess that's where we'll
1:33
start first and foremost. Let's go to a CBS store New York City,
1:40
or a pair of armed thieves made off with a bounty of paper towels.
1:48
Two men with knives, eyeing a very specific item, ran to the door
1:53
with a twenty pack of bounty paper towels worth more than two hundred dollars.
1:57
When they were confronted by a war one of the men threatened him with a
2:00
knife and ran out of the store. The duo made a run for the
2:06
subway with their literal bounty, and we're stopped by a police on the street
2:12
who nabbed them. It's a real quicker picker upper. You gotta make the
2:16
joke, right, it's there, you gotta make the joke. I wonder
2:22
how big the mess was. They were trying to get home too. You
2:24
know, they got those commercials where it's a spill and it's about to run
2:28
over a computer or a wedding cake or something, and they freak out,
2:32
Oh no, we got to clean it up fast. So I wonder if
2:38
they could make some kind of justification. We had a spill. It was
2:40
huge. We dropped, you know, eighty gallons of milk, and we
2:46
had to get home and clean it up quickly. It was a big problem.
2:50
Might have to have our kitchen redone if we don't clean it up quickly.
2:53
Seems like that could be a justifiable defense. So another paper product traffic
3:01
on I five Santa Clarita, California, had some backup problems when a truck
3:12
wiped out spilled hundreds of rolls of toilet paper all over the highway. The
3:16
California Highway Patrol trying to figure out exactly what happened. Dare I say,
3:22
get to the bottom of it because the toilet paper that rolled off the back
3:25
of the Ford pickup truck, they don't really know what happened and they're trying
3:29
to work it out. The mess clogged up traffic for about twenty minutes as
3:34
the highway patrol officers walked along the road tossed rolls of toilet paper over a
3:38
cement barrier. I guess as long as it doesn't rain, hey, free
3:43
toilet paper perfect. If you want to know, roll some houses. Maybe
3:47
can save it up in a storage area to Halloween. I don't know.
3:52
A Texas man was arrested after he was caught impersonating a car salesman and a
3:58
divorce lawyer at the same time. Though police arrested forty one year old Jesus
4:03
Lopez charged him with multiple theft defenses related to a couple of scams. First
4:10
one occurred last May, when Lopez allegedly walked into a car dealership and impersonated
4:15
a salesman. While there, he took a fifteen hundred dollars check from a
4:20
customer intended as a deposit for a Chevy Impaula that was due to come in,
4:26
but after some time passed and they didn't hear back from him, the
4:29
customer returned to the dealership and was told Lopez didn't work there. A second
4:33
incident occurred last August, when Lopez convinced a woman he was a divorce lawyer
4:39
and asked her to meet with him at a Burger King and bring a check
4:43
for five hundred dollars to initiate divorce proceedings. The woman met with him two
4:48
more times and paid him a total of sixty three hundred dollars for his fake
4:53
services. One week later, Lopez met with another woman who needed to bail
4:59
her son a of jail. Lopez told her he was a paralegal at a
5:02
law firm and convinced her to pay him a total of thirteen thousand dollars.
5:06
After Lopez promised to bail him out, pay a citations, release his car
5:12
from the m pound lot, and get him a job, he didn't do
5:15
any of that. Police arrested him and held him on a one hundred and
5:20
fifty five thousand dollars bond. Wonderful will represent himself at the trial inasmuch as
5:28
he's a good fake lawyer, I yes, or at least pairalegal. I
5:32
don't know. Maybe he can get one of the lawyers at the fake paralegal
5:36
job, you know as coworkers, to represent him. I don't know.
5:41
Florida woman who was reported missing was found alive and safe. She was inside
5:46
a shipping container. Police and Cocoo Florida were looking for fifty two year old
5:54
Marlene Lopez after she was reported missing last Winday. I assumed no relation to
6:01
the heyesus guy. I was unknown at the time just how long she'd been
6:06
missing, but the very next day she was found locked in a shipping container
6:11
located outside of a business, and had no idea how she got there.
6:15
A police spokesperson said that all Lopez told them was I was in one place
6:19
and found in another. The owners of the shipping container had apparently locked it
6:26
up for the night with no idea Lopez was inside. It wasn't until seventy
6:29
two hours later when someone heard her banging on the door inside the container.
6:33
It is believed that she somehow wandered into the container and then passed out.
6:39
So yeah. A man in Argentina went to a hospital to have his gallbladder
6:44
removed. When he woke up from the procedure, he discovered that doctors had
6:48
instead performed a vasectomy, even though his file clearly stated gallbladder. The mix
6:56
up apparently occurred because forty one year old Jose Basse went in for the procedure
7:01
on a Wednesday. It was originally scheduled for a Tuesday, but he had
7:05
it delayed for one day. And it turns out vasectomies are performed at the
7:10
hospital on Tuesdays and gallbladder surgeries are done on Wednesdays, which is why the
7:15
staff assumed that that's what he was there for. Jose has hired a lawyer
7:20
who says he says he was devastated, especially because he wanted to have a
7:26
child with his girlfriend. That and he still, I guess needs to have
7:30
the gallbladder surgery. I mean, that's my next question is I know that's
7:34
all bad. He wants to have a kid with his girlfriend and he's just
7:38
had a vasectomy, But what about the gallbladder surgery he needed? Does he
7:42
have to wait until the next Tuesday or no Wednesday. I don't know.
7:48
He went on the wrong day, that's all I'm saying. He went on
7:51
the wrong day. It's a pretty efficiently run hospital there. You go depending
7:58
on Wednesday of the week you go in, and that's what kind of surgery
8:01
you have. I need to have my appendix out. Eh, it's Friday,
8:07
We're gonna do knee surgery. That's what we're gonna We're gonna replace your
8:11
hip. That's what we do on Friday. If you want your appendix out,
8:15
you gotta come back on Monday. That's how that works. I don't
8:20
know. Just a weird way to run a hospital, isn't it. Hey.
8:22
Customs officials at the airport in Bangkok, Thailand arrested six men who tried
8:28
to smuggle a large group of exotic animals in their luggage, including an endangered
8:35
red panda. The suspects, all from India, had checked their luggage tried
8:41
to board a flight to Mumbai, but security examined their check luggage and discovered
8:46
a total of eighty seven animals inside, included twenty nine monitor lizards, twenty
8:52
one snakes, fifteen birds, the aforementioned red panda, and others. Thailand
8:58
known as a major smuggling hub in Asia, so authorities are always on the
9:01
lookout for suspicious luggage. All six suspects were arrested, at each facing up
9:07
to ten years in jail. Eighty seven animals. I wonder if they know
9:13
what a cubit is, you know, if they were going to build an
9:16
arc or anything like it with expecting rain. I don't know glad that they
9:22
were able to get on top of that. That's what they need to you
9:26
know, you gotta be aware. You got to be on top of it.
9:30
Hey, here's another airline story. A pair of Indonesian airline pilots facing
9:35
potential discipline reaction when they both fell asleep during a flight and the plane veered
9:39
off course. But Tick Air Indonesia, I guess is the airline had one
9:48
hundred and fifty three passengers on the flight and had just taken off and reached
9:52
its cruising altitude of thirty six thousand feet. Once safely in the air,
9:54
the pilot asked his second in command if he could take a nap, as
9:58
he was tired from the pre his flight. The copilot took the controls as
10:01
the captain slept, and then got a little sleepy himself and not at all.
10:05
First pilot eventually woke up and noticed the plane was off course. He
10:11
then looked over at his co pilot and saw that he was asleep. He
10:13
immediately woke him up, and the two quickly corrected the flights course. The
10:18
plane landed safely in Jakarta. No one was hurt. Unclear how or if
10:22
the pilots will be disciplined. The copilot admitted to being extra sleepy because he
10:28
has one month old twins who'd kept him up the night before. Maybe he
10:33
should make sure that the guy that had the visectomy knows about that, just
10:37
in case that can maybe help make his case a little bit better. I
10:41
mean, maybe it would improve things. Sometimes it's about perspective. Sometimes you
10:46
just need that little bit of perspective. Wisconsin man was arrested last week for
10:54
battery and disorderly conduct. But it's not so much what he did. It's
10:58
gotten people's attention. It's his name. See forty two year old Derek Kroll
11:03
as he was born, had his name legally changed to D's Nuts Kroll back
11:09
in twenty eleven. I remember that story. I'm pretty sure we talked about
11:13
that story on the radio. But he's I mean, you're the kind of
11:18
guy who changes your name to D's Nuts. It's not going to surprise you
11:24
that he realized he made a mistake in twenty eleven because he changed his name
11:30
to Des Nuts Daz instead of d Easy if you want to know how to
11:35
spell D's nuts. And six years later he petitioned the court to change it
11:41
again because he realized, oh, I spelled it wrong, and he added
11:45
the other e. So D's Nuts Kroll was arrested after he got drunk and
11:48
physically assaulted his daughter and her boyfriend he shares a home with them. At
11:54
one point he pulled a gun out in a BB gun. He pulled out
12:00
a BB gun, not two guns, just the BB gun and threatened to
12:05
shoot them with the BB gun. According to police, D's Nuts was upset
12:09
because his daughter hadn't done some household chores and taken care of their puppies.
12:13
He was arrested and bonded out of jail. I mean, you got to
12:18
wonder how that goes over in court if you you know D's Nuts. I
12:24
mean, there's a lot of D's Nuts references in the courtroom, and then
12:28
in jail. How does it go over they calling you these nuts? This
12:33
is your cell over here? Or do they just call you by the inmate
12:35
number? I don't know. A pair of women in Ohio were arrested after
12:41
they pulled a weekend at Bernie's and propped up a dead man who was a
12:48
passenger in the passenger seat of their car and went over to a bank to
12:54
withdraw money from his account. Happened in a town east of Cleveland. Eighty
13:00
year old Douglas Layman passed away, and two women he lived with got him
13:03
dressed, carried him to the car, sat him up in the passenger seat.
13:09
They then pulled up to the drive through at a nearby bank that had
13:13
previously allowed them to withdraw money from Layman's account as long as he was there
13:16
with them. The teller looked into the car, saw Layman sitting there,
13:22
and approved the withdrawal of nine hundred dollars. After they received their cash,
13:26
the women drove to the hospital and dropped Laman off at the emergency room.
13:28
Sounds like nine to five there, doesn't it. I They didn't provide any
13:35
information about him or themselves. Hospital staff called police and were able to identify
13:39
the women as fifty five year old Lauren B. Farrallo and sixty three year
13:43
old Karen Kasbaum. They're both charged with theft and gross abuse of a corpse.
13:52
Man, was that a charge when Weekend at Bernie's was made? The
13:56
gross abuse of a corpse? I mean that was really a gross abuse of
14:03
a corpse in that movie wasn't it hilarious? Though, boy oh boy in
14:07
this made a sequel and everything all right. Finally, a Florida man who
14:11
was wearing a crown of thorns and holding a pinata was arrested on Tuesday.
14:16
Martin County Sheriff's Office in Florida says they received a nine to one to one
14:20
call from a seventy four year old woman saying she was being harassed by a
14:24
man on her way to work. Ruth Bullard told police that the man approached
14:28
her with this crown of thorns and the pinnata was screaming horrible profanities at her.
14:35
She said she was frightened to death. No, you would be with
14:39
that pinata, wouldn't you. Cops responded to the area and immediately identified the
14:43
man as thirty seven year old Gregory Zop, who was known to be a
14:48
public nuisance in the area. Zop Zeo pff Zop denied the woman's claims and
14:54
told cops he was merely singing and dancing to his Leprechaun song. All right.
15:00
He was placed under arrest, charged with disorderly conduct. So the leprech
15:03
he's getting ready for Saint Patrick's Day. That's all he's doing. He's just
15:09
getting ready for the holiday, that's all. So there you have it.
15:16
That's some strange and bizarre. Anything was overly disgusting or gross. I mean,
15:20
we had the guy the vasectomy and the gallbladder, but we you know,
15:24
we didn't have anything that was overly disgusting. There was nothing nothing overly
15:31
gross this week. So we got that going for us, right, I
15:33
mean, we had the you know, the corpse. Well I guess that's
15:35
bad. We did have the gross abuse of a corpse, so I suppose
15:39
that that counts as something really disturbing. Today's show brought to you by Coloma
15:43
State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and future
15:52
STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean,
15:58
they do it for school age kids, as school aged kids visit the Coca
16:02
Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through their university programs where
16:06
you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and
16:12
STEM fields are booming right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
16:18
your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check
16:26
out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they do
16:32
with the Schwobe School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
16:36
It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one
16:41
of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think,
16:45
is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a
16:48
major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
16:56
Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome. Check
17:00
out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check out when the next Astronomy
17:06
Night's coming up. Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
17:10
the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights.
17:15
You don't want any light interference, and you can do that as well
17:17
upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org.
17:22
As Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you
17:29
that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot Org. Today's show
17:36
brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage door
17:40
needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for.
17:47
It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and
17:51
have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
17:56
square and that away for you, and while they're there, you can always
18:00
ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
18:03
your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to
18:07
be and you need some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you
18:11
need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your
18:15
garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've
18:21
got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's
18:25
inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
18:30
door to your garage door system that you can put down and you can use
18:33
your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if
18:37
you like to work on your own cars in there, or maybe you just
18:41
want a little man cavid. You'd like to be able to open the door
18:44
up and not invite all the insects in. They can do that for you
18:48
as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than
18:52
that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't
18:56
open and you need somebody to come help, and they do those as well.
19:00
Seven oh six five eight forty five hundred seven O six three five eight
19:03
forty five hundred o dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after
19:10
the break well. With spring officially rolling in next week, that means get
19:23
ready for breakup season. It feels like you should have theme music. Bump
19:27
bump, bump bum. Holidays call winter months known as cuffing season. That's
19:33
when people decide that they need to be in a couple, perhaps to just
19:40
celebrate the holidays or the pressures of sitting down at a Thanksgiving meal and showing
19:45
up solo or some sort of Christmas gathering, and you don't want to go
19:49
solo. You want to be a part of a couple. Some people do
19:53
that. They just get in a relationship for the holidays. That's that's what
19:57
they do. That happens sometimes, Well, some of those people that got
20:00
into relationships just for the holidays, I get to spring and then realize this
20:06
is time to uncuff. We had cuffing season. Now it's time for uncuffing
20:12
season. And that's when people decide that, you know, we get warm
20:17
weather, coming possibilities of you know, interacting with people more in the outside
20:23
world, not being shut up at home, especially if you're you know,
20:27
in a colder part of the world. So they get excited about the idea
20:32
of meeting new people, and they say sunshine also has an effect on people
20:37
being happier and more adventurous and more likely to clean their house and personal lives
20:44
and all kinds of stuff. So get ready for if you already have kind
20:48
of a rocky relationship and it started over Thanksgiving or Christmas around then and you
20:56
very quickly got invited to some sort of a gathering that maybe you were like,
21:02
really, do they really want me to come to this gathering? This
21:04
might be a time to just kind of look over your over your shoulder,
21:07
you know, just kind of have a look back over your shoulder. Anything
21:11
could happen, that's all you just may want to keep an eye out for
21:15
it. A new study says that electric vehicles will soon be cheaper to manufacture
21:22
than gas powered cars, but are going to cost a lot more to repair.
21:29
Electric vehicles could be as cheap as conventional vehicles as soon as twenty twenty
21:33
seven, according to this study, but they say that the major expenses definitely
21:40
will be there on the back end. Fixing the cars after collisions will remain
21:44
expensive, and so expensive that insurance companies will be keeping an eye on things,
21:48
keeping rates high or denying coverage for some EV models. Altogether, I'll
21:55
believe that electric vehicles are going to be cheaper to buy than regular traditional gas
22:03
powered cars when I see it. They can tell us that it's about to
22:07
happen, but I'll believe it when I see it. Now, you would
22:11
think they're just you know, giving us this, Oh, oh, I
22:17
know what's going to happen. We'll get a different president. And then when
22:19
that doesn't happen, they'll say, ah, we were going to be there,
22:22
but Trump blew it. Maybe that's what it's all about. I don't
22:25
know. Uh. In October, NASA is scheduled to launch an unmanned spacecraft
22:30
to one of Jupiter's moons. It'll be carrying a golden record, a bunch
22:34
of etchings and information that show what's going on here on Earth. The artifact
22:41
contains millions of names, a poem, equations, and a lot extra information
22:47
in case some aliens find it someday, a life from beyond our solar system.
22:52
If they find it, they might want to be able to look up
22:55
information. They might want to know who Peyton Manning was or Tiger Woods.
23:00
Maybe they need to know that kind of information. Maybe they'd like an archive
23:03
of a handwritten text of when Eli Manning beat Tom Brady twice in the Super
23:11
Bowl. Maybe they'd like just something to read about that. They'd like some
23:15
sort of catalog of those events so that they can look at it and see
23:21
what life was like here on this planet at one time in the past.
23:26
No word on whether or not there'll be something to maybe help, you know,
23:32
beings from another some other intelligent life from somewhere in deep space. How
23:37
they would know how to read whatever language it's in. I assume it will
23:40
be in English, maybe different languages, I don't know. Maybe they'll come
23:45
up with some sort of binary system that you know, they can read it,
23:51
they can figure out the math to go with it. Like in that
23:53
movie Contact, you know, it's all about the math. If you can
23:56
calculate the math, you can figure out the language. That'll do it.
