Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Friday morning, twenty fourth day of January. I'm West thanks
- 0:13Speaker 2: for joining me. We're another step closer to getting our
- 0:19Speaker 2: lives back on track post Southeast snow apocalypse. And I
- 0:24Speaker 2: feel like it's important to note that a lot of
- 0:27Speaker 2: the rest of the country has dealt with a version
- 0:29Speaker 2: of this, and we talked about this earlier in the week.
- 0:32Speaker 2: Those folks that are laughing at us for our three
- 0:35Speaker 2: inches of snow here in the Chattoochee Valley, and I
- 0:38Speaker 2: know a few other places get a little more than that,
- 0:40Speaker 2: so maybe a little less. And yes, it was enough
- 0:44Speaker 2: to shut our whole area down for I don't know
- 0:48Speaker 2: four days whatever. And I know some have had to
- 0:54Speaker 2: continue on with their routines, go to work, do their jobs.
- 0:58Speaker 2: We appreciate you for that, really do. I know that
- 1:02Speaker 2: it's difficult for all of us that aren't used to it.
- 1:07Speaker 2: All I can say for the folks that have had
- 1:09Speaker 2: to go to work and have had to go to
- 1:12Speaker 2: places and have been needed, you've gotten some much needed
- 1:15Speaker 2: experience for next time, because you can say, hey, I've
- 1:18Speaker 2: got some I've done this, I've got experience under my belt.
- 1:22Speaker 2: I have friends that are not from here and they've
- 1:26Speaker 2: been carrying on with their lives, driving around. They know
- 1:29Speaker 2: what they're doing. Maybe they have vehicles more equipped for it,
- 1:33Speaker 2: I don't know, or maybe just their experience with knowing
- 1:35Speaker 2: what to do if they start to skid around. But
- 1:40Speaker 2: the folks that are laughing at us outside of the
- 1:42Speaker 2: Southeast just want to remind you that in you know,
- 1:47Speaker 2: six months or so, it's gonna be really hot. It's
- 1:50Speaker 2: gonna be really hot, and we'll be ready for it,
- 1:54Speaker 2: and maybe you won't. That's all I want to say.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Just I understand. I do appreciate it. I get it.
- 2:00Speaker 2: We're a little more understanding and forgiving when it's summertime
- 2:04Speaker 2: and you're saying, I know, we don't have air conditioning.
- 2:08Speaker 2: We just have a couple of fans in the house.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Maybe we just open our windows. And see, we don't
- 2:15Speaker 2: open our windows because there's you know, I don't know,
- 2:19Speaker 2: thousands of species of insects that are trying to get in,
- 2:23Speaker 2: some of them specifically trying to kill us. And we
- 2:26Speaker 2: have lots of plants that are just trying to kill
- 2:29Speaker 2: us in general. So we do build our houses and
- 2:33Speaker 2: we're more equipped, we're ready for it. And you may think, well,
- 2:36Speaker 2: we don't need that. We can open our windows. We can,
- 2:41Speaker 2: you know, walk outside on a hot summer day and
- 2:47Speaker 2: get some fresh air. And if we do that, if
- 2:52Speaker 2: we go outside, there's things that are trying to kill us,
- 2:56Speaker 2: actively trying to kill us all the time. Plants, animals
- 3:02Speaker 2: specifically insects trying to pass on you know, like the
- 3:07Speaker 2: dingy fever for mosquitoes, those kinds of things. So just
- 3:13Speaker 2: know you can be laughing at us now. Yes, it's
- 3:17Speaker 2: shut us down. It shut it out a good chunk
- 3:19Speaker 2: of the country and has for a little bit, and
- 3:23Speaker 2: some places got significantly more than we did. Just know
- 3:28Speaker 2: that we appreciate it. Most of us take the time
- 3:32Speaker 2: to appreciate it and enjoy it. And this has been
- 3:34Speaker 2: a good stretch. This isn't one of those deals where
- 3:35Speaker 2: we got a little dusting, like a quarter of an
- 3:38Speaker 2: inch of accumulation and then we just have to it's
- 3:41Speaker 2: gone by the next morning. I think most of us
- 3:47Speaker 2: have been able to appreciate it. I did enjoy seeing
- 3:50Speaker 2: yesterday's walk. We saw many more snow men or women.
- 3:55Speaker 2: I don't mean to presume genders. I know there's been
- 3:57Speaker 2: an executive order that's happened this week that says there's
- 4:00Speaker 2: only two genders, but it wasn't specifically referring to snow people.
- 4:07Speaker 2: So I just am glad to see that people once
- 4:12Speaker 2: the I guess moisture from the ground got into the
- 4:14Speaker 2: snow and it was a little you know, a little
- 4:19Speaker 2: bit more malleable so that you could make snowmen and
- 4:23Speaker 2: those sorts of things. We actually met a second one,
- 4:27Speaker 2: and I don't know, we may end up making another one.
- 4:29Speaker 2: We may do that. But anyway, I hope you've managed,
- 4:35Speaker 2: and I hope the people that bought all the eggs
- 4:37Speaker 2: have scrambled all, like a seven or eight dozen of
- 4:40Speaker 2: them that they bought, just scrambled them up, just made
- 4:44Speaker 2: their eggs. Benedict, I hope your hollandaise sauce was able
- 4:47Speaker 2: to cover all of those eggs. Still don't know why
- 4:51Speaker 2: all the eggs were bought. I don't understand. I get,
- 4:53Speaker 2: you know, people that have kids and they need milk,
- 4:55Speaker 2: You need your toilet paper and necessities. I understand that.
- 5:00Speaker 2: I don't understand why all the eggs disappear. I know
- 5:02Speaker 2: people are saying avian flu and bird flu whatever. Okay,
- 5:06Speaker 2: but this was definitely connected to this storm. People were
- 5:10Speaker 2: buying up eggs, and I hope that they're all hard
- 5:12Speaker 2: boiled and poached and all the things, all the things.
- 5:18Speaker 2: All right, let's jump into some weird news, strange and
- 5:21Speaker 2: bizarre news from around the world. We've got some stories
- 5:24Speaker 2: for you today. One is almost a little bit of
- 5:30Speaker 2: a there's no way, it's disgusting. I mean, it's one
- 5:33Speaker 2: of those stories, and I'm glad that the woman says
- 5:35Speaker 2: that she's able to laugh about it later. This is
- 5:38Speaker 2: a story that got to social media. I believe it
- 5:42Speaker 2: happened on TikTok, so at the very least, if you
- 5:48Speaker 2: don't like TikTok I'm not necessarily a big fan of it.
- 5:53Speaker 2: But if you don't like TikTok, at least it brings
- 5:55Speaker 2: us stories like this. And it's one of those deals
- 6:00Speaker 2: where I'm sure they didn't specifically address this, but I
- 6:04Speaker 2: can tell you from experience. When you have small kids
- 6:07Speaker 2: in the house and things get quiet and you think, wow,
- 6:11Speaker 2: it's quiet, that's when as a parent you have to
- 6:15Speaker 2: be concerned. That's when as a parent you have to say,
- 6:18Speaker 2: something's not right. We got a problem. We have a problem,
- 6:23Speaker 2: and this is one of those examples where I guess
- 6:26Speaker 2: things got quiet and things got out of hand. So basically,
- 6:31Speaker 2: this is something that happened in Colorado. A mom wouldn't
- 6:36Speaker 2: have ever seen this coming. Monica Long is her name,
- 6:41Speaker 2: mom of three kids, two toddlers. She said she went
- 6:43Speaker 2: to the bathroom for a few minutes, came out to
- 6:46Speaker 2: find the kids were covered in dirt. They had dirt
- 6:49Speaker 2: on their lips, had been I guess, in their mouths.
- 6:52Speaker 2: She didn't know where the dirt came from, but she
- 6:54Speaker 2: needed to finish getting the house ready for her youngest
- 6:57Speaker 2: child's birthday party, so she got the back, cleaned it
- 7:00Speaker 2: all up, wiped the dirt from the kid's mouths. It
- 7:04Speaker 2: was days later that Monica figured out where the dirt
- 7:07Speaker 2: came from. As she happened to notice an empty cross
- 7:10Speaker 2: shaped container that used to carry her grandfather's ashes. She
- 7:17Speaker 2: realized that the boys had gotten into the urn, opened
- 7:19Speaker 2: it and remembered that they had the mystery dirt on
- 7:22Speaker 2: their mouths, and that's when she became excessively horrified. She
- 7:28Speaker 2: shared the story on social media. She said, I pieced
- 7:30Speaker 2: it together the little swe hey, he figured out how
- 7:32Speaker 2: to open the bottles by biting and unscrewing it. That's
- 7:37Speaker 2: when they had the white dust on their lips, and
- 7:40Speaker 2: I just dusted and cleaned them off, not thinking anything
- 7:43Speaker 2: of it. But they may have eaten part of their grandfather,
- 7:46Speaker 2: which is horrifying. She has yes found some humor in
- 7:51Speaker 2: all of it, and she says that her beloved Paul
- 7:53Speaker 2: Paul would have found the whole story funny. It even
- 7:56Speaker 2: says Paul Paul on the on the container that held
- 8:01Speaker 2: his ashes. So it's disgusting. It's disgusting, but at least
- 8:08Speaker 2: they can find some humor in it later. I don't know.
- 8:11Speaker 2: This one sounds a little like story we've had a
- 8:13Speaker 2: few times. As I guess, there's been an ongoing rash
- 8:19Speaker 2: of criminals that have a bag of drugs and they
- 8:21Speaker 2: label it not a bag of drugs, and typically it's
- 8:26Speaker 2: definitely drugs. I don't know that that would fool anybody,
- 8:29Speaker 2: especially not any police officer who pays attention to strange
- 8:33Speaker 2: and bizarre news. A woman in Florida was arrested on
- 8:38Speaker 2: narcotics charges after officers found methamphetamine drug paraphernalia inside a
- 8:43Speaker 2: zippered bag labeled definitely not a bag of drugs. Thirty
- 8:48Speaker 2: one year old tear in a cree was a passenger
- 8:52Speaker 2: inside a U haul van that was searched by police.
- 8:55Speaker 2: The case is similar to one we discussed back in
- 8:57Speaker 2: October in Oregon, when a couple was arrested for drug
- 9:01Speaker 2: possession and they also found a bag of meth labeled
- 9:07Speaker 2: definitely not a bag of drugs. Sounds like we're repeating
- 9:10Speaker 2: the story. We're not. It's just an inspired Maybe it's
- 9:15Speaker 2: a copycat. Sometimes valuable items are mistakenly thrown in the trash,
- 9:21Speaker 2: but a two thousand year old ancient Greek artifact probably
- 9:25Speaker 2: not typical. Police in Greece are investigating how in antiquity
- 9:29Speaker 2: from the Hellenistic period ended up inside a black garbage
- 9:34Speaker 2: bag tossed into a dumpster. A man reportedly found the
- 9:37Speaker 2: two and a half foot long headless statue, reporting it
- 9:41Speaker 2: to police, who were now conducting lab tests under the
- 9:44Speaker 2: watchful eye of the country's Antiquity Service to determine where
- 9:47Speaker 2: the statue came from, whyatt was thrown out, and who
- 9:51Speaker 2: may have done it. Greece has for years been investigating
- 9:55Speaker 2: the illegal trafficking of ancient artifacts, including others which have
- 9:58Speaker 2: been found in the trash, you know, the trash thing.
- 10:01Speaker 2: Maybe it's somebody panicking and they want to get rid
- 10:03Speaker 2: of it and they don't want to be caught. Or
- 10:06Speaker 2: maybe somebody supposed to come along and get it out
- 10:09Speaker 2: of the trash. You know, that's one of those one
- 10:11Speaker 2: of the way they do those drug drops sometimes, right,
- 10:14Speaker 2: or the money drops for drugs put in the trash.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Somebody comes along who's digging around in the trash the
- 10:19Speaker 2: well that they're looking for it. They know what. I
- 10:21Speaker 2: don't know. That's just my guess. Maybe I've watched too
- 10:24Speaker 2: much TV. An Ohio woman caught shoplifting from a Walmart
- 10:28Speaker 2: tried to run away from a security officer by throwing
- 10:31Speaker 2: everything she had at him, including her wig. I may
- 10:35Speaker 2: have seen this wig? Where did this happen? Ah Ohio.
- 10:38Speaker 2: The fifty one year old was trying to leave the
- 10:41Speaker 2: store with one hundred and sixty dollars worth of red
- 10:43Speaker 2: bull When the officer approached her, She let him on
- 10:46Speaker 2: a footchase through the store. As she tried to get away,
- 10:48Speaker 2: she threw produce at him, articles of her own clothing,
- 10:51Speaker 2: even her wig. None of those helped to get away. Eventually,
- 10:54Speaker 2: police arrived and helped to detain her. The woman, who
- 10:59Speaker 2: at first gave police a fake name, eventually learned her
- 11:03Speaker 2: true identity discovered that she had five active warrants for
- 11:06Speaker 2: her arrests. She's charged with criminal trespassing, theft, and providing
- 11:11Speaker 2: a false identification to police. There's got to be some
- 11:15Speaker 2: charge for that whig thing, right. The Houston Police Department
- 11:20Speaker 2: is taking new steps for storing illegal narcotics ceased from
- 11:24Speaker 2: criminals after noticing that drug addicted rats had been getting
- 11:28Speaker 2: in and eating them. Maybe there was a sign that
- 11:31Speaker 2: said definitely not narcotics, and that's why the rats read
- 11:34Speaker 2: them and started eating them. I don't know. The department
- 11:37Speaker 2: says police headquarters have been storing the drugs, some as
- 11:42Speaker 2: long as decades, even though the cases they're linked to
- 11:46Speaker 2: have long been concluded. There's said to be hundreds of
- 11:49Speaker 2: thousands of pounds of seized drugs stored in the evidence room.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Mayor John Whitmire says that quote, we got four hundred
- 11:58Speaker 2: thousand pounds of marijuana in storage. Rats are the only
- 12:00Speaker 2: ones enjoying it. The department now says that the evidence
- 12:04Speaker 2: collected before twenty fifteen and no longer needed will be
- 12:07Speaker 2: properly disposed of and not left hanging around to feed
- 12:10Speaker 2: the rats. Those rats are going to be jones in man.
- 12:15Speaker 2: I mean, you're used to it being there and then
- 12:16Speaker 2: all of a sudden it's gone. They're going to be,
- 12:19Speaker 2: you know, itching and scratching like a pooky, right, just
- 12:26Speaker 2: really having a withdrawal. I would think that's just my guess.
- 12:31Speaker 2: Florida man under arrest for secretly installing a GPS device
- 12:36Speaker 2: ah New Jack City by the way, GPS device on
- 12:39Speaker 2: an ex girlfriend's car so that he could set up
- 12:42Speaker 2: a coincidental run in with her and rekindle their love.
- 12:46Speaker 2: The hopeless romantic, a twenty two year old Chipotle worker
- 12:49Speaker 2: named Tyler and Michael Strack, had a brief relationship of
- 12:53Speaker 2: the sexual kind with the victim two years ago and
- 12:57Speaker 2: wanted her back, so he's allegedly purchased a cube GPS
- 13:01Speaker 2: tracker and managed to install it on the woman's car.
- 13:04Speaker 2: His plan was to eventually pinpoint her location and then
- 13:07Speaker 2: cross paths with her by chance. In quotes. However, the
- 13:11Speaker 2: woman discovered the device on her car and went to police,
- 13:14Speaker 2: whose investigation led them directly distract who admitted to this
- 13:20Speaker 2: desperate plot, and he was arrested and released on a
- 13:22Speaker 2: five thousand dollars bond. Gotta be careful with those GPS trackers.
- 13:26Speaker 2: You gotta be looking at your phone going the bluetooth.
- 13:30Speaker 2: I guess that's how they spot him. I don't know.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Some phones are automatically looking for those things. Valentine's Day
- 13:36Speaker 2: still a few weeks away, but a man in Taiwan
- 13:38Speaker 2: making sure he's ready by giving his wife an early gift.
- 13:41Speaker 2: Chen Wi Nong, a plastic surgeon and father of three,
- 13:45Speaker 2: gave himself a vasectomy, posting the video of him doing
- 13:49Speaker 2: it on social media. He said he wanted the procedure
- 13:53Speaker 2: and wanted it done right, so he did it himself.
- 13:55Speaker 2: He gave himself local anesthesia, went to the to the
- 14:00Speaker 2: area and started doing the business. Once it was numb,
- 14:03Speaker 2: snipping and tying. The entire process took about an hour.
- 14:07Speaker 2: Was successful. Afterwards, he said it was a strange feeling
- 14:10Speaker 2: to touch and suiture my own urethra. You think. He
- 14:14Speaker 2: also reminded people that he's a licensed surgeon. Well, of
- 14:17Speaker 2: course he is. He's doing surgery on himself. That's a normal,
- 14:21Speaker 2: perfectly normal thing to do. He knew what he was
- 14:23Speaker 2: doing and urged others who wanted a vasectomy to see
- 14:26Speaker 2: a license errologist. Videos viewed more than four million times.
- 14:31Speaker 2: This is not good for anybody, because who's not kind
- 14:35Speaker 2: of thing. I can do this myself. I once had
- 14:39Speaker 2: a surgery that involves screws in my body and had
- 14:42Speaker 2: to go back in for a surgery to remove the screws.
- 14:45Speaker 2: And I remember saying, your brother, Matt, he's pretty handy.
- 14:50Speaker 2: Doesn't he have a power drill? Can he do that?
- 14:54Speaker 1: No?
- 14:55Speaker 2: I mean maybe he could, but why would we do that?
- 14:59Speaker 2: In New York, this man working as a drug counselor
- 15:02Speaker 2: for a rehab facility was arrested last week for being
- 15:05Speaker 2: really bad at his job. Fifty four year old Alvin
- 15:07Speaker 2: Lewis was caught selling crack cocaine on multiple occasions to
- 15:11Speaker 2: undercover agents. Lewis had been working as an overnight drug
- 15:15Speaker 2: counselor at an inpatient rehab clinic in upstate New York.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Police began investigating him after receiving some tips from the public.
- 15:23Speaker 2: It determined that he was a narcotic and dangerous drug dealer.
- 15:28Speaker 2: They also checked with the state's Office of Addiction Services
- 15:32Speaker 2: and Sports and found no record of him being credentialed
- 15:34Speaker 2: to work as a counselor. A search of his home
- 15:37Speaker 2: and vehicle turned up packages of crack ready to be
- 15:40Speaker 2: sold labeled definitely not crack. Now he was arrested and
- 15:45Speaker 2: hit with felony narcotics charges. Yeah, it doesn't sound like
- 15:50Speaker 2: he's very good at his job. I mean, at the
- 15:52Speaker 2: very least he's not licensed. It sounds like he figured
- 15:56Speaker 2: out a way to get some new clientele. I guess.

- 18:21Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 18:24Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
- 18:26Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 18:29Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 18:33Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
- 18:36Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 18:40Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking

- 19:13Speaker 2: somebody to come help, and they do those as well.

- 19:36Speaker 2: if you're a middle child, you're probably the nice one.
- 19:40Speaker 2: A new study found that middle children are more honest, humble,
- 19:43Speaker 2: and agreeable than they're older and younger siblings. Researchers used
- 19:48Speaker 2: the Hexaco Personality Inventory to analyze the six personality traits honesty, humility, emotionality, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness,
