Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:05
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:08
Speaker 2: Friday morning, fourteenth day of November. I am Wes. Thanks
0:13
Speaker 2: for joining me. We have some good news, and we
0:19
Speaker 2: have some strange and bizarre news from around the world,
0:23
Speaker 2: and I know a few stories at least out of Florida.
0:26
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in just a minute. First, I
0:28
Speaker 2: just want to mention we know that we're getting to
0:30
Speaker 2: this point where government is things are moving in the
0:33
Speaker 2: right direction, getting everybody back on track, and that's good.
0:37
Speaker 2: Getting the government opened back up went on much longer
0:41
Speaker 2: than it ever should have. We can all talk all
0:44
Speaker 2: day about all the behind the scenes nonsense that took
0:47
Speaker 2: place as Democrats were clearly now just trying to make
0:52
Speaker 2: this about this mid midterm election cycle and trying to
0:55
Speaker 2: win those governorships and win a couple of votes and
0:57
Speaker 2: getting people in there to vote. That's pretty obvious now
1:01
Speaker 2: they don't want to admit it publicly, but we are
1:05
Speaker 2: getting back on track now, and we at least have
1:07
Speaker 2: until the end of January for and things like before
1:13
Speaker 2: they have to do another vote, and this is they
1:15
Speaker 2: kick the canda then at least and then till September
1:18
Speaker 2: for things like the snap program and things like that.
1:21
Speaker 2: So I just wanted to quickly mention this because obviously
1:25
Speaker 2: this was a trying time for a lot of people,
1:28
Speaker 2: and it's one of those things that as things start
1:30
Speaker 2: to get rough, and we've gone through a few of
1:33
Speaker 2: these things, this government shut down, Charlie Kirk's assassination. Obviously,
1:38
Speaker 2: anytime you're in an election, a new president getting in,
1:41
Speaker 2: especially one getting back in not something we've really experienced
1:45
Speaker 2: in our lifetime, but getting back in someone who's very controversial,
1:49
Speaker 2: all those things at play put you in a position
1:51
Speaker 2: where you start to think just sort of you start
1:55
Speaker 2: to feel those little elements of unrest, right, it just happens.
1:59
Speaker 2: Sometimes we kind of sense it, we feel it, and
2:02
Speaker 2: we know disaster can strike at any moment. It could
2:06
Speaker 2: be weather related, it could be some sort of unrest.
2:10
Speaker 2: There's other things that people have talked about. I don't
2:12
Speaker 2: like talking about them, but they say, oh, well, these
2:14
Speaker 2: horrible things could happen. And I mention it because I
2:18
Speaker 2: just want to remind you. You probably feel a little
2:20
Speaker 2: behind on prepping for something like that. You want to
2:23
Speaker 2: make sure that you're able to take care of what
2:25
Speaker 2: matters most in those situations, and that is your family.
2:29

4:01
Speaker 2: that you don't get scammed. You don't get ripped off.
4:04
Speaker 2: People buy the tickets for shows like the Nutcracker because
4:07
Speaker 2: it's the great tradition, and they buy them and then
4:09
Speaker 2: they put them online and try to resell them to
4:11
Speaker 2: people who google it. So you don't want to have
4:13
Speaker 2: to go through that. Get your tickets now from one
4:16
Speaker 2: of those three places, Thecolumbus Ballet dot org, Rivercenter dot org,

Speaker 2: fourteenth evening show on the thirteenth matt Enne show at

Speaker 2: two thirty on the fourteenth. Figure out which show makes
4:32
Speaker 2: sense for you and we will see you there for
4:35
Speaker 2: The Nutcracker. My seventh year in the role of the
4:38
Speaker 2: Mother Ginger, the biggest star in the show quite literally. Okay,
4:43
Speaker 2: so I want to talk a little bit about some
4:46
Speaker 2: good news, some positive news that we can take into
4:51
Speaker 2: our weekend. And it's important, I think, for us to
4:56
Speaker 2: really be able to do that. Just something poss is
5:00
Speaker 2: it of something good to start our weekend with, and
5:03
Speaker 2: we will start with. And this kind of rolls over
5:07
Speaker 2: from some of the stuff we were just talking about
5:08
Speaker 2: when it comes to food. There's a Pittsburgh dad. His
5:11
Speaker 2: name's aj Owen, and he and his two sons had
5:15
Speaker 2: an idea. They said, We're going to use one hundred
5:16
Speaker 2: and fifty dollars to buy groceries and set up a
5:18
Speaker 2: little mini food pantry in our front yard. Started with
5:23
Speaker 2: bins of snacks and non perishable foods, and it went
5:26
Speaker 2: viral on social media, drawing millions of views and waves
5:30
Speaker 2: of donations. One anonymous envelope stuff with one hundred dollars
5:33
Speaker 2: bills came with a note that read, May God prosper
5:37
Speaker 2: and bless your food pantry. The pantry has grown to
5:42
Speaker 2: include long tables, weatherproof bins, fresh food, with the help
5:45
Speaker 2: of local police, even Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back. Is it
5:50
Speaker 2: yah yah Black It's spelled Yahya. I guess that's his name. Sorry,
5:54
Speaker 2: I'm not familiar with the player. AJ estimates that they've
5:58
Speaker 2: helped at least one hundred fam so and has no
6:02
Speaker 2: plans of stopping anytime soon. People need to eat, People
6:06
Speaker 2: deserve to be fed. It's no different than me inviting
6:08
Speaker 2: you over to our house for dinner. He said, come on,
6:10
Speaker 2: grab a meal, grab a drink, whatever you need. I'm here.
6:14
Speaker 2: How about that? That is a great story, and everything
6:17
Speaker 2: about the way that this all came together, the way
6:21
Speaker 2: it's just it has this feel of just kind of
6:26
Speaker 2: all playing out in a very organic way, very grassroots,
6:32
Speaker 2: everybody stepping up and doing what they can to help.
6:34
Speaker 2: It's pretty sweet, all right. So from a food pantry
6:40
Speaker 2: in the front yard to a hedgehog hospital inside a home,
6:47
Speaker 2: how about this? A couple in Scotland transformed their home
6:50
Speaker 2: into a hedgehog hospital, complete with incubators, maternity ward and
6:54
Speaker 2: a fleet of volunteer hedgehog ambulances. Sharon and Andy Longhurst
7:00
Speaker 2: started by rescuing two sick hedgehogs and nursing them back
7:03
Speaker 2: to help in their garage. The garage now houses seven incubators,
7:07
Speaker 2: forty cages. They've treated more than five hundred and sixty
7:11
Speaker 2: seven hedgehogs since launching the rescue. Sharon is a school
7:14
Speaker 2: crossing guard, Andy a bus driver. They juggle their day
7:17
Speaker 2: jobs while caring for hedgehogs around the clock. Sharon saying,
7:21
Speaker 2: if there's a hedgehog out there that needs help and
7:23
Speaker 2: is in pain, I can't say no, Well who can, Sharon.
7:28
Speaker 2: Of the hundreds of hedgehogs they've treated, sixty five percent
7:30
Speaker 2: have survived and been released back into the wild, which
7:33
Speaker 2: is a remarkable feet considering the fact that European hedgehogs
7:36
Speaker 2: are now listed is near threatened due to habitat loss
7:40
Speaker 2: and other environmental pressures. Andy's saying, we'll do this until
7:45
Speaker 2: we're unable to their adorable, really lovely animals. I think
7:49
Speaker 2: the other part of this that makes it remarkable is
7:51
Speaker 2: the fact that you know, these aren't, you know, veterinarians.
7:57
Speaker 2: It's not like they I mean, I'm sure the animal lovers,
8:01
Speaker 2: but it's also pretty remarkable that they're able to do
8:03
Speaker 2: this and take care of these animals and basically their
8:08
Speaker 2: spare time and they have full time jobs. Obviously, all right,
8:12
Speaker 2: strange and bizarre news from around the world. We usually
8:16
Speaker 2: end up in Florida at some point, we'll have a
8:18
Speaker 2: couple of stories out of Florida. Right out of the gate,
8:20
Speaker 2: a Florida woman with a serious pizza craving found herself
8:25
Speaker 2: in a deep dish of trouble. Huh, after being clocked
8:28
Speaker 2: at one hundred and seven miles per hour all in
8:30
Speaker 2: a race to get to Little Caesar's before midnight. Authority say,
8:33
Speaker 2: twenty one year old yasmin Erazo was heading north on
8:40
Speaker 2: Highway nineteen in Palm Harbor, just outside of Saint Pete
8:44
Speaker 2: on late last Thursday night. The speed limit was fifty
8:49
Speaker 2: five According to the Sheriff's office, Erazo was trying to
8:53
Speaker 2: get pizza before they closed and needed to get there quickly.
8:58
Speaker 2: A deputy caught hers be on radar, pulled her over.
9:01
Speaker 2: She was arrested for reckless driving, excessive speeding, and then
9:04
Speaker 2: sent to jail and no pizza. I mean, I don't
9:09
Speaker 2: know if maybe, if you know they had any pizza
9:12
Speaker 2: at the jail, that she might have gotten fed. I
9:15
Speaker 2: don't know, but she definitely didn't get her a Little
9:17
Speaker 2: Caesar's pizza. So a Flora man who is accused of
9:21
Speaker 2: beating up his father and his last name is Pancake,
9:26
Speaker 2: was arrested and charged with battery. Thirty eight year old
9:30
Speaker 2: Eric Thomas Pancake was arrested for allegedly assaulting his elderly father,
9:35
Speaker 2: seventy two year old Rodney Lee Pancake, after the two
9:40
Speaker 2: got into a dispute inside the Pancake family home in
9:44
Speaker 2: Palm City. The elder Pancake suffered severe bruises and swelling
9:50
Speaker 2: to his eyes and face. When officers arrived, Eric Pancake
9:52
Speaker 2: was intoxicated and invoked his right to remain silent. He
9:58
Speaker 2: ultimately surrendered without resistance and was arrested on a short
10:04
Speaker 2: stack of charges, including battery on a person over the
10:08
Speaker 2: age of sixty five. You know you do that, It's
10:12
Speaker 2: pretty easy to arrest you, dare I even say, it's
10:16
Speaker 2: like butta, I mean, sometimes the jokes just right themselves.
10:23
Speaker 2: Police in Connecticut, not Florida. We don't worry. We'll get
10:28
Speaker 2: back to Florida in a minute. I've pretty much seen
10:30
Speaker 2: it all. But here's a real head scratcher. State troopers
10:32
Speaker 2: called out to Interstate ninety one near Hartford during a
10:36
Speaker 2: morning commute time after receiving reports of two men on
10:39
Speaker 2: the side of the road trying to steal a giant
10:41
Speaker 2: road sign. When the troopers arrived, they found an enormous
10:46
Speaker 2: highway sign was loosely strapped at the top of a
10:48
Speaker 2: white pickup truck, two men inside about to drive away
10:52
Speaker 2: with it. The suspects identified as forty two year on
10:54
Speaker 2: Andrew Scott Lampkin and forty six year old Jonathan Reoppel.
10:59
Speaker 2: They were both arrested in charge with third degree larceny,
11:02
Speaker 2: reckless use of highway as pedestrians, and improper parking. It's
11:06
Speaker 2: unclear what they intended to do with the stolen sign,
11:12
Speaker 2: So I wonder what the sign was for, you know,
11:16
Speaker 2: big big highway sign. What do you think it said
11:18
Speaker 2: on it? Maybe it was one of those ones that
11:20
Speaker 2: had all the restaurants. This is my theory. It was
11:24
Speaker 2: one of the ones that tells you what restaurants are
11:26
Speaker 2: coming up. And maybe they thought if they moved the
11:28
Speaker 2: sign closer to their house, the restaurants would be closer
11:31
Speaker 2: to us. That's my theory. I don't know exactly what
11:34
Speaker 2: the sign was, but that's my best guess. All right,
11:37
Speaker 2: back to Florida. Our routine day at a goodwill store
11:39
Speaker 2: in Fort Pierce, Florida, turned into a very serious day
11:43
Speaker 2: when a worker was going through some donations and discovered
11:47
Speaker 2: a grenade. This is one of those only in Florida.
11:51
Speaker 2: Police recalled to the scene just before one o'clock and
11:54
Speaker 2: upon arrival, officers confirmed the object was indeed a grenade.
11:58
Speaker 2: That's when Saint Lucy County bomb disposal unit stepped in.
12:03
Speaker 2: They verified the device was real and safely removed it
12:06
Speaker 2: without incident. Authority say there's no indication that it was
12:10
Speaker 2: done intentionally and thankfully no ongoing threat to the public.
12:14
Speaker 2: The investigation is still under way to figure out how
12:16
Speaker 2: the explosive ended up in a donation bin. Oddly enough,
12:21
Speaker 2: it's not the first time that a grenade has been
12:24
Speaker 2: discovered in a goodwill donation bin. In fact, there have
12:27
Speaker 2: been at least seven reported cases over the past ten years.
12:31
Speaker 2: The most recent last year won a World War two
12:34
Speaker 2: air Japanese grenade was found at a goodwill store in Wisconsin.
12:37
Speaker 2: We had that story. It is nuts. It is crazy
12:41
Speaker 2: that that could possibly be a semi regular thing. Right.
12:48
Speaker 2: An la man landed in deep trouble after a police
12:51
Speaker 2: chase took an unexpected plunge. Authority say the man suspected
12:54
Speaker 2: of stealing a car let. Officers on a pursuit. After
12:57
Speaker 2: ditching the vehicle, he hopped a fence at a construction
13:00
Speaker 2: sight in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood and managed to land
13:02
Speaker 2: in a hole about thirty feet deep and four feet wide.
13:06
Speaker 2: Firefighters rush to the scene managed to put the twenty
13:09
Speaker 2: seven year old out of the hole, but official say
13:13
Speaker 2: he's now in critical condition at the trauma center. It's
13:17
Speaker 2: a crazy story, like what would make you just hop
13:22
Speaker 2: the fence and not see that there's no I don't know.
13:28
Speaker 2: I guess if it's nighttime. I guess it was an
13:30
Speaker 2: evening kind of chase, but scary stuff there. Years ago,
13:34
Speaker 2: Jill and I were talking about the fact that when
13:36
Speaker 2: you make a purchase for something that you're going to
13:39
Speaker 2: use every single day and for many hours every single day,
13:44
Speaker 2: it's worth making sure that you purchase something that's high
13:47
Speaker 2: quality and it's something that's going to last for a
13:50
Speaker 2: really long time. And one of those things that we
13:53
Speaker 2: focused on was bedsheets and bedding, because you spend at
13:58
Speaker 2: least a third of every day in your bed eight
14:02
Speaker 2: hours a day or so, maybe six to seven, it
14:06
Speaker 2: depends on how much you sleep, but you might spend
14:08
Speaker 2: about eight hours a day in the bed and you
14:10
Speaker 2: want the sheets to feel nice, you want them to
14:13
Speaker 2: last a really long time, because that's the other thing.
14:16
Speaker 2: When you get a nice set of sheets, you want
14:18
Speaker 2: them to last a really long time. Well, let's talk
14:21
Speaker 2: about Cozy Earth. The folks at Cozy Earth have their
14:24
Speaker 2: bamboo sheet sets. They're cooling, they're comfortable, and they have
14:28

Speaker 2: As Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org,
17:23

17:26
Speaker 2: Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to
17:31
Speaker 2: you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of
17:34
Speaker 2: your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have
17:40
Speaker 2: regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to
17:43
Speaker 2: get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and
17:47
Speaker 2: have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus
17:51
Speaker 2: can take care of squaring that away for you, and
17:53
Speaker 2: while they're there, you can always ask them questions about
17:56
Speaker 2: some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make
17:59
Speaker 2: to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite
18:03
Speaker 2: what you want it to be and you need some
18:05
Speaker 2: repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need
18:07
Speaker 2: a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a
18:11
Speaker 2: noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's
18:14
Speaker 2: some sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder
18:17
Speaker 2: or warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
18:22
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
18:24
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
18:27
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
18:29
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know,
18:34
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
18:36
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
18:38
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
18:40
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
18:43
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
18:46
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
18:48
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
18:52
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
18:55
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven sixty five eight forty five hundred
18:58
Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight five hundred O dccolumbus
19:03
Speaker 2: dot com more West Carrol Morning Show right after the break.
19:15
Speaker 2: All right, this is an alert, a programming alert, if
19:19
Speaker 2: you will, because this could be useful information for you because,
19:25
Speaker 2: as you probably are now aware, for the past few years,
19:30
Speaker 2: we have not had access to one of the great
19:34
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving traditions, that is a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving because unless
19:41
Speaker 2: you have Apple TV, right, Apple TV Plus or whatever,
19:45
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's Apple TV, so basically because they
19:50
Speaker 2: have the rights to it, and it wasn't gonna be
19:52
Speaker 2: put on broadcast TV while they had the rights to it,
19:55
Speaker 2: and I think they worked out a deal one year
19:57
Speaker 2: so that people could still watch it. So there's a
20:00
Speaker 2: couple of ways that you can watch a Charlie Brown
20:03
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving and this is you know, you can either sign
20:08
Speaker 2: up for Apple TV and get the seven day free
20:10
Speaker 2: trial or whatever, or this weekend Saturday and Sunday, Okay,
20:17
Speaker 2: fifteenth and sixteenth, you can watch it for free. They've
20:21
Speaker 2: got a free viewing window, so they're cutting you some slack. Again.
20:25
Speaker 2: This is just because people thought they were big jerks
20:28
Speaker 2: for buying up the rights to it. How dare they?
20:32
Speaker 2: So there you go. You've been warned. This is your
20:34
Speaker 2: weekend to watch it for free on Apple TV. They
20:38
Speaker 2: got a window. You can do that, all right. Let's
20:41
Speaker 2: talk turkey because a report by finance Buzz says the
20:44
Speaker 2: average cost for a fifteen pound turkey is thirty four
20:49
Speaker 2: dollars and sixty five cents. It's about two dollars and
20:51
Speaker 2: thirty one cents per pound, eleven percent higher than last year.
20:55
Speaker 2: Prices varying widely by state, Hawaii topping the list at
20:59
Speaker 2: fifty five dollars and seventy cents, Oklahoma the cheapest at
21:03
Speaker 2: twenty four eighty five. The increase is largely due toizing
21:07
Speaker 2: food cost transportation expenses, especially for states like Alaska Hawaii.
21:14
Speaker 2: So if you're planning a holiday feast and turkey as
21:17
Speaker 2: part of it, you should be prepared for the fact
21:20
Speaker 2: that it will likely cost you a bit more for
21:24
Speaker 2: your turkey. It's just the reality of what we're dealing with,
21:27
Speaker 2: right now as we're trying to get prices stabilized again
21:31
Speaker 2: as a country and get things back on track. So
21:35
Speaker 2: there you go. Depending on where you are, it could
21:38
Speaker 2: be extra expensive for you. All right. Forget about big SUVs.
21:43
Speaker 2: The latest suburban flex is now the golf cart. I
21:46
Speaker 2: know they've been around, but they really are now. Like
21:50
Speaker 2: there was a time you would go into a neighborhood,
21:56
Speaker 2: somebody would have a golf cart. They'd be driving it around.
21:59
Speaker 2: It wasn't overly common, but you started to see more
22:02
Speaker 2: and more of them in sort of the more affluent neighborhoods. Well,
22:07
Speaker 2: now they're everywhere, and you know it's bad because I
22:09
Speaker 2: see them in my neighborhood. So and it's kids driving
22:13
Speaker 2: them around in my neighborhood. But there's a funness to it.
22:16
Speaker 2: It's cheaper than another car. Obviously kids will get a chance.
22:20
Speaker 2: I don't recommend kids driving them in neighborhoods though, it's
22:23
Speaker 2: really not good. Families using golf carts for quick errands
22:26
Speaker 2: around town. School pickups got to be in the neighborhood.
22:31
Speaker 2: I think, I don't know. You start getting out on
22:32
Speaker 2: the main roads, it's a problem. Complaints and injuries come
22:37
Speaker 2: with that some residents hate the carts, saying that the
22:39
Speaker 2: skirt traffic laws are unsafe and unregulated, and there's evidence
22:43
Speaker 2: to back it up pediatric injuries climbing due to golf
22:46
Speaker 2: cart accidents and older kids driving them recklessly, or you know,
22:52
Speaker 2: just driving them in the evening when the time has
22:55
Speaker 2: changed and it's really dark outside, and you know, maybe
22:58
Speaker 2: it's not a good idea for a thirteen year old
23:01
Speaker 2: to be driving a golf cart through your neighborhood. It's
23:03
Speaker 2: probably not something that should be happening. Anyway. We all
23:07
Speaker 2: know sitting at a desk all day can be a
23:10
Speaker 2: pain for your back, and researchers may have found a
23:13
Speaker 2: key to relieving the pain. A study found that alternating
23:16
Speaker 2: thirty minutes of sitting with fifteen minutes of standing is
23:19
Speaker 2: the most effective way to lower to ease the lower
23:23
Speaker 2: back pain for desk workers. Right, And that's the other
23:27
Speaker 2: part of this, as we're talking about desk workers. After
23:30
Speaker 2: three months, those who followed the fixed schedule saw the
23:33
Speaker 2: worst pain drop by one point three to three points
23:36
Speaker 2: on a ten grade scale ten point scale for the
23:39
Speaker 2: gradient of the pain compared to those who just did
23:42
Speaker 2: their own personalized schedules. The thirty to fifteen approach also
23:46
Speaker 2: boosted concentration reduced job stress while being easier to stick to.
23:51
Speaker 2: Seventy two percent followed it consistently versus twenty nine percent
23:56
Speaker 2: in the flexible group. Standing for fifteen minutes feels manageable,
23:59
Speaker 2: and breaking up a thirty minute sitting period prevents discomfort
24:02
Speaker 2: without hurting productivity. So, and if you've got one of
24:06
Speaker 2: those desks that you can stand up and use, I
24:09
Speaker 2: think that also makes a really big difference when you're
24:13
Speaker 2: doing this. Well, we're now into holiday shopping season, and
24:17
Speaker 2: I have some good news for you. If there's someone
24:20
Speaker 2: in your life that you need to shop for that

Speaker 2: is a fan of sports, maybe they're a fan of music,
24:27
Speaker 2: they're a fan of movies, TV shows, comics, NASA, whatever
24:34
Speaker 2: it is, they probably have something to scratch the itch
24:37
Speaker 2: for that fan in your life. And I'm talking about
