Strange and Bizarre News Weekend at Bernie's Style · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:07
Friday morning, nineteenth day of April. I'm Wes, thanks for joining me.
0:15
Getting ready to roll into the weekend. And I still haven't found any
0:22
blue milk anywhere. Didn't do a lot of searching. Yesterday. I went
0:26
into one store, no luck, nothing at all, determined to find some.
0:33
I don't know where I'm gonna have to go. I hope I don't
0:35
have to go far because it's a lot of effort for as my wife pointed
0:38
out, and I said this, I think yesterday on the show, and
0:41
Jill pointed out before she heard me yesterday, just put some villa in some
0:47
blue and milk and you're good to go. That's all you gotta do.
0:51
Easy. You can even make almond star Wars milk if you want to go
0:58
that way. Which I tend to not really drink many beverages that have calories
1:03
occasionally, you know, if I have like a little whiskey, but I
1:07
don't really drink a lot of calories occasionally, just a little bit of juice.
1:11
So the idea of drinking sweetened milk just because it's blue and it says
1:17
something about Star Wars on it is a bit ridiculous, and I know that
1:19
she knows that we all know. That doesn't mean that I don't want to
1:23
track some down though I don't know why. I just want to leave me
1:26
alone. All right, Let's jump into some strange and bizarre news from around
1:33
the world. We got a couple of stories from Florida. I've started to
1:34
really think about this Florida thing, and I'm just wondering now, if they
1:40
just do a better job of reporting these weird stories in Florida, Like if
1:44
they see things a bit in it through a different lens than the rest of
1:49
us. Maybe, I don't know. Well, won't start in Florida,
1:52
though, Let's start in Brazil. As a Brazilian woman was taken under arrest
1:57
after she wheeled a dead man into a bank and tried to obtain a loan
2:01
in his name. Forty two year old Erica Desuza Vieira Nunez walked, I
2:07
love the names. I love when you got this long series of names in
2:12
countries like Brazil, it's great. She walked into the bank and Rio de
2:16
Janeiro with sixty eight year old Paolo Roberto Braga and a wheelchair with three names.
2:22
That's it in a wheelchair, I guess weekend at Bernie Style. She
2:27
told the bank employee that Braggo was her uncle and that she was his primary
2:30
caregiver. The employee band began to think something was fishy when Nunyaz had to
2:35
keep supporting his head with her hand and he seemed to be out of it.
2:38
Nunyaz kept insisting he was fine. He was just a quiet person.
2:44
Eventually, the employee presented Nuniez with documents that needed bragg as signature, and
2:47
that's when employees suspected something was seriously wrong. Nunyaz kept telling Bragga to sign,
2:53
which of course he couldn't do, and she grew increasingly frustrated. At
2:59
one point, she said to uncle, or you're listening, you need to
3:00
sign. If you don't sign it, there's no way I can't sign for
3:05
you. And what I can do, I'll do sign here same as the
3:12
document sign so you don't give me any more headaches. At this point,
3:15
the employee called the police and then started taking video of the bizarre scene that
3:21
was in progress. When police arrived, they determined that Brago was dead and
3:25
had been for at least a few hours nun Yez. As it turns out
3:29
it's not even her niece but a very distant relative. She's been charged with
3:32
vilification of a corpse and attempted fraud. Her lawyer insists that Braggo was alive
3:39
when he arrived at the bank, but died during the loan process. So
3:46
hilarity on the big screen when it involves Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman, not
3:53
so funny when you're trying to steal from a dead man. Apparently. An
4:00
Indiana woman facing drug charges after she called police to report that she was on
4:03
the losing end of a bad drug deal. That's never a good call,
4:09
police say. Thirty four year old Sarah Harris called nine to one one and
4:12
told the operator she wanted to press charges against her drug dealer because he sold
4:15
her a bad batch of methamphetamine. Harris said the drug was not what it
4:23
was supposed to be and knew something was wrong when she snorted a line of
4:26
it and felt something different when it touched her skin and nostrils. She said
4:30
she wanted the drug tested and the dealer arrested. Officers were sent over to
4:34
her home, where she turned over the bad drugs that she called about,
4:40
and was subsequently arrested for possession of illegal narcotics. It's unclear if the dealer
4:45
is facing any charges at this time. I mean, it seems like a
4:48
good opportunity to go ahead and take care of that while you're at it.
4:55
A New York man is in jail because he just was craving too much from
5:02
a dunkin Donuts location in Brooklyn. Thirty five year old Antonio Rosario, a
5:09
convicted felon who had previously served time for arm robbery, went into a dunkin
5:13
Donuts in Brooklyn ordered six pumpkin donuts. The worker said we've only got five.
5:18
He didn't like that. A worker called nine one one and said,
5:23
he wants six pumpkin donuts. It's the stupidest thing. He wants six pumpkin
5:26
donuts, but we only have five at the moment. Now he's screaming all
5:29
in our face, telling us you're gonna make it. Rosario then left the
5:33
store, but returned a short time later. Workers noticed he was shoving some
5:38
kind of weapon into his pants. When he heard police were coming, he
5:42
bolted and went to a nearby deli, where cops eventually found him in possession
5:45
of a loaded nine millimeter semi automatic firearm. As a convicted felon, he's
5:50
not allowed to possess a gun. Rosario pleaded guilty to a federal firearms charge
5:57
and faces up to seven years in prison if convicted. If he had just
6:00
taken the five donuts, none of this would have happened. He would be
6:05
just fine. Right, that's it. Let's get down to Australia. Or
6:10
A racehorse in Sydney broke loose from its stable and made its way to a
6:15
nearby train station, where it tried to board a train. Didn't pay the
6:18
fare or anything. Security camera footage at the station captured the moment a horse
6:25
wearing what appeared to be a rain coat entered the station and then ran up
6:30
and down the platform, frightening people who were waiting for a train. As
6:34
the train rolled into the station, the horse safely stood behind the yellow line,
6:39
which is good nice training, appeared to look for a door to open
6:43
up. A train conductor, having noticed the horse on the platform, form
6:46
wisely kept the doors to the train closed, and then the horse galloped away
6:49
and left the station where it was corralled, and then eventually returned to a
6:56
stable. That's a good ending to that story. That could have been a
7:00
really bad ending to that story. I mean really bad. Florida man was
7:04
arrested last week after he allegedly attacked his roommate with pizza dough. Police in
7:10
Saint Petersburg say thirty two year old Joseph Tressel was making pizza in the home
7:14
he shares with sixty two year old Elvis Singleton. Tressel told the cops that
7:20
he became angry when Singleton started making coughing sounds, which he believed he was
7:25
doing to deliberately irritate him. He also told police he was hearing voices telling
7:30
him how to make the pizza. Trestle finally snapped and through a wad of
7:34
dough at Singleton, striking him in the head. Police responded to the home,
7:40
and although there were no visible signs of an injury to Singleton, they
7:44
arrested Trestle charged him with battery and criminal mischief. He's been ordered to avoid
7:49
having any contact with Singleton and will not be allowed to return to the home
7:54
that he shares with him. I want to know what happened to the pizza.
7:59
Did get made. Did anybody eat it? Did Singleton enjoy it?
8:03
I just want to know what happened to the pizza. That's to me the
8:05
real story here, isn't it. A high school student near Syracuse, New
8:11
York, was arrested last month after police say facts a fake letter announcing that
8:15
the school's principal would be resigning. Cops say the seventeen year old at Charles
8:20
W. Baker High School in Baldwinsville, New York, first created fake school
8:26
email addresses in an attempt to get personal information about another student, and then
8:31
factxed a purported resignation letter from the principal. Cops say they eventually caught the
8:37
team because he wrote in his own cell phone number on the facts cover sheet.
8:43
They arrested the student, who hasn't been publicly identified. He's a minor
8:48
after all, and charged him with criminal impersonation. Yeah, the old writing
8:52
in your cell phone number on the facts cover sheet? Do we will still
8:56
do faxes? Apparently they do. Maybe that's why he wasn't thinking when he
9:01
wrote his cell phone number, and maybe he thought he had to not a
9:05
lot of experience with the fax machines, but landscapers working at a home in
9:11
Staunton, Virginia, were teleported through the wayback machine back to the eighteen sixties.
9:16
They discovered a Civil War era cannonball. Workers said they found the object
9:22
and initially thought it was a huge rock, but one of the workers picked
9:26
it up, rinsed it off, and said, oh, not a rock,
9:30
a cannon ball. The fire department responded to the home when they called
9:33
the state police to safely remove the suspected explosive. Back to that in a
9:39
second. The fire department is warning other residents in the area they find any
9:43
unusual objects on the ground, leave it alone and call authorities. It's believed
9:46
that one of the cannon balls found could mean there are other cannon balls to
9:50
be found. I don't know that I knew that there were exploding cannonballs in
9:56
the Civil War, but I looked it up and it says, yes,
9:58
sometimes they had cannon balls that could explode. I just thought they were you
10:03
know, you're firing a cannon ball at something. I didn't know that they
10:07
might explode, So that was news to me. So consider that a public
10:11
service announcement. If you live somewhere that might have Civil War eraic cannonballs,
10:16
which I guess we could around here. A homeless man was arrested this week
10:20
after he stole the New York City fireboat overnight and attempted to sail it on
10:24
the Hudson River. Authority say the man, identified as twenty two year old
10:28
Juan Hernandez, untied the John J. Harvey fireboat from its mooring at Pierre
10:35
sixty six on the west side of Manhattan and tried to sail it at the
10:39
one hundred and thirty foot vessel on the Hudson. He wasn't able to get
10:43
very far and it became stuck, so he jumped off the ship and swam
10:48
to another boat, which he stole and then took get out onto the river.
10:52
He was able to sail it about fifteen blocks away before the NYPDS Harbor
10:56
Unit responded and stopped him. He was arrest on the deck of the stolen
11:01
ship, charged with two counts of graham larceny. The John J. Harvey,
11:05
by the way, a ninety three year old fireboat that was used in
11:09
many marine rescues until it was decommissioned in nineteen ninety four. It briefly returned
11:13
to service September eleventh, two thousand, and one to help transport people away
11:20
from the twin towers and pump water onto ground zero. This boat itself has
11:28
an amazing story to it, and it's really good that this thing wasn't damaged
11:33
or destroyed by this jackass. That's all I got to say. Great news
11:39
if you are in the Fort Collins Public Library and you have been waiting for
11:43
your copy on the wait list of Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott. The book
11:50
is available to be checked out again because it was finally returned after one hundred
11:52
and five years. The book was returned to the Colorado Library by a woman
11:58
who said her brother found it among their mother's belongings. The book had been
12:01
checked out from the library was due back February thirteenth, nineteen nineteen. Luckily
12:07
for her, the library eliminated late fees in twenty twenty, because at the
12:13
nineteen nineteen rate of two cents per day, she would have owed the library
12:18
seven hundred and sixty dollars. Seems like it should be more than that,
12:22
But when you start thinking two cents a day, I guess that's the way
12:24
it breaks down, doesn't it? No interest, none of that. The
12:30
owner of a bakery in Kansas, is advising her customers to eat their cookies
12:33
slowly and not just for savoring the flavor. She says one of the cookies
12:39
may contain a diamond. Dawn Cis Munroe, owner of Cis Sweet Cookies and
12:46
Cafe in Leavenworth, Kansas, says that she noticed that the diamond from a
12:52
ring was missing and believes it may have fallen into some cookie dough. The
12:56
diamond worth about four thousand dollars, so she'd really like to find it,
13:00
she wrote on Facebook. If you happen to find it, I would forever
13:03
be in your debt if you would return it. If the diamond is in
13:07
a cookie, Dawn believes it's likely to be in a chocolate chip, sugar
13:11
or peanut butter cookie. I guess she was making some cookie dough and oops,
13:18
diamond just disappeared into the dough. That's sad. I hope she gets
13:22
her diamond back. A Florida tour boat captain landed in the tank after he
13:28
set sail while drunk and ended up falling overboard. According to the Clearwater Police
13:31
Department, fifty three year old John Edward Beckwith, who captains the Clearwater Funboat,
13:37
was operating the vessel with thirty people on board, and was so drunk
13:41
that he fell off the boat and into the marina. Employees of the boat
13:46
on the boat told the police that Beckwith showed up for work impaired with food
13:50
all over his face. What's wrong with that? Cops observed that his breath
13:56
smelled of alcohol, his eyes were bloodshot. He failed a field sobriety test
14:01
and breathalyzer test calculated his blood alcohol level well over the legal limit. Beckweth
14:07
was arrested charged with boating under the influence. He has multiple prior DUI convictions.
14:13
This is a it would be a b ui, wouldn't it. I
14:16
mean, does this mean he's got driving and boating or just this is his
14:20
first boating offense. I know they're all bad. I understand that. Finally,
14:26
you never know what she might find tucked away inside an old piece of
14:30
furniture. Sometimes you go looking for change. If you're desperate for some change.
14:35
Maybe you're getting ready to go on a trip that involves toll roads.
14:37
You start looking for quarters. Sometimes that's where the TV remotes are. Some
14:41
food, but an old notebook with an activity log for a World War II
14:48
military ship doesn't seem like the first thing that comes to mind. A Massachusetts
14:52
woman contacted the Noah Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary to let them know that she
14:56
had found a notebook in an old piece of furniture containing a handwritten log for
15:01
the USS Emsbury, which today sits on the ocean floora ten miles west of
15:09
the Florida Keys as an artificial reef. The author of the notebook unknown as
15:13
is the reason why it was tucked inside the furniture. It shows many of
15:18
the ship's voyages between nineteen forty four nineteen forty five, which included journeys between
15:22
Florida and New York and across the Atlantic to England. An entry written on
15:26
April seventh, nineteen forty five reads War ended with Germany. The USS Msbury
15:33
was a US naval destroyer escort that was later converted into a high speed transport
15:39
vessel, and it was retired in nineteen forty six and stationed in Florida.
15:43
About that, that's a cool story, nice, very special piece of memorabilia
15:52
for them to be able to reclaim and have, and very fortunate that that
15:56
furniture wasn't destroyed at some point over the us years or thrown away or whatever.
16:00
So nicely done for this lady to turn that over to them. Today's
16:04
show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring
16:10
and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of
16:18
all ages. I mean they do it for school age kids as school age
16:22
kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through
16:26
their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the
16:32
careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now, and you can learn
16:37
more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're
16:45
there, also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible
16:51
collaboration that they do with the Schwobe School of Music from Columbus State University called
16:56
Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere
17:02
else. It's one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus,
17:03
Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
17:07
this is a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus, inside
17:15
the Planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center, and the new season of
17:19
Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also
17:26
check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can get outside.
17:30
Sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get
17:33
outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference, and
17:37
you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website,
17:41
it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot
17:48
org, I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center
17:53
CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
18:00
All of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have
18:06
regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
18:11
that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company
18:15
of Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you, and while they're
18:19
there, you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
18:23
you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite
18:29
what you want it to be, and you need some repair work done to
18:32
the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
18:36
it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
18:40
sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
18:45
that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
18:48
you'd like to add a screen door to your garage door system that you can
18:53
put down and you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but
18:59
indoor if you like to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
19:02
you just want a little man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
19:04
door up and not invite all the insects in. They can do that for
19:08
you as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse
19:12
than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door
19:17
won't open and you need somebody to come help, and they do those as
19:21
well. Seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred seven oh six three

19:30
after the break. We're getting closer and closer to wedding season as we inch
19:44
our way closer to the summer, and that seems to be the time for
19:48
people to get married, especially June. And apparently getting cold feet before a
19:52
wedding is a lot more common than you think. Seems like it's just something
19:56
a device they use in movies, a plot device. But a new survey
20:00
of Americans who got married between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty four found that
20:03
twenty percent admit that they nearly ran out on their wedding. Another interest interesting
20:10
find from the surveys that bachelor and bachelorette parties aren't as popular as they used
20:12
to be. Over fifty percent of respondents said they skipped their pre wedding parties
20:18
altogether. That doesn't surprise me. I'm surprised at how many people would admit,
20:25
and I guess they're not admitting necessary. I don't know. Maybe they're
20:27
comfortable telling their spouse they got scared at the last minute and almost didn't marry
20:30
them, But that seems like it could be a dangerous area. The bachelorette
20:34
and bachelor party thing does not surprise me that those are becoming a thing of
20:41
the past. I think there's just so many things people are so sensitive about.
20:45
They're just hyper sensitive about doing the wrong thing, something that's not okay,
20:51
something that's not let's be honest, some of the bachelor especially, I
20:53
mean, I guess both, but bachelor party behaviors were pretty out of control.
21:00
I went to a nice steak dinner with my guys before my wedding.
21:06
That's what I did both of the weddings. We got married in the US
21:10
Australia first and then in the US second two weeks later. So in both
21:12
cases it was a nice steak dinner that we had. That was enough.
21:18
You know, those are the good kind. You don't need to worry about
21:22
all that other shenanigans. All right, If you're looking to meet somebody out
21:26
on the single scene, you're looking to find somebody, Apparently pickleball might be
21:33
the way to go if you're looking for someone. The popularity is apparently leading
21:37
to some love matches on the courts. According to a twenty five year old
21:41
player talking to The New York Post, there's some good looking people here,
21:45
so you never know what's going to happen. Yeah, I mean, you
21:48
get a bunch of good looking people together, you really don't know what's going
21:51
to happen. Think about what happens at the Olympics, right. Much of
21:55
the allure is that you get to meet a lot of different people when playing
22:00
because people typically just show up at the courts and rotate in, and the
22:04
courts are small, so it's more conducive to chatting. Another person told the
22:10
Post you can talk during pickleball games. It's a more casual sport. So
22:15
there you go. All right, if you are watching TV and seems to
22:22
be an excessive amount of commercials for these basically body deodorants or sprays where people
22:29
are like, you know, they got the lady, you can rub it
22:30
in your armpitch your butt, crack, you know the Adam talking about.
22:33
And there's a few of these products now that are available and they pop up
22:40
pretty regularly, especially if you're streaming on some of the surfaces. Surfaces,
22:44
so they're saying that there's about a half a dozen on the market and they're
22:48
considered all body deodorants. Well, according to dermatologists, they say that the
22:55
products, if you're going to use them, should be used to target any
23:00
specific part of your body that smells. That's okay, but they say you
23:03
shouldn't use it all over. Spokesperson for Procter and Gamble says, these deodorants
23:07
are showing up on the market because people have been asking for them. They
23:11
conducted a survey of four thousand people and found that fifty to sixty percent of
23:15
people are concerned about groin odor, twenty to thirty percent have chest or under
23:21
boobo or odor. That's the other thing that lady says, and you're under
23:25
boob, your butt crack, uh, and then thirty to fifty percent or
23:29
self conscious about foot odor. It doesn't specifically say butt crack anywhere in this
23:33
study. No information about the butt crack, so if you were wondering.
23:38
And finally, PepsiCo has announced a voluntary recall of it Schwep's zero sugar ginger
23:45
Ale because something got into the drink that shouldn't be in there, sugar.
23:52
According to the FDA, the company distributed two hundred and thirty cases of zero
23:56
sugar ginger Ale that was inadvertently made with sugar. It's believe the cans were
24:03
distributed to retailers in Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and have May twenty twenty
24:08
four sell by dates. So just a heads up if you're traveling to those
24:12
areas and you love a zero sugar Schweps ginger Ale and you can't have sugar.
24:21
That's where the problem comes in, isn't it. Some people like diabetics,
24:23
they can't have a full sugar drink. They're just trying to have some
24:29
sugar free refreshment, liquid refreshment, that's what they want. So just a
24:34
heads up on that. That'll do it for this Friday edition of the show.
24:37
Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch
24:41
you back here Monday morning. This is the West Carrol Morning Show powered by
24:47
Overhead Door Company of Columbus, the Holiday Inn Resort in Panama City, and
24:52
