Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:08
Friday morning, twenty seventh day of October. I'm Wes. Thanks for joining
0:13
me. I've heard I've seen a few people asking. I've heard a few
0:18
people asking. I know that people are worried. Oh my gosh, my
0:21
kids don't want to miss out on trick or treating. Is it definitely going
0:24
to be on Halloween. Yes, as it should be. It'll be on
0:27
Halloween. That's when trick or treating is going to happen. I know we're
0:30
going into the to the Halloween weekend and people are concerned. This is just
0:34
a time this weekend, cut loose and have your Halloween parties, have fun.
0:37
If there's a the junk in the trunk or whatever they that's not it.
0:42
That's not it at all, trick or trunk. Junk in the trunk
0:45
means something else. I want to tell you this. If a church is
0:47
having junk in the trunk, you probably want to avoid that. I mean,
0:52
I don't think that that's I mean, if that's what they call their
0:55
trick or trunk or whatever, then they need to think of a different name
0:59
for it. Is all I'm saying the trigger trunk or whatever, trunk or
1:04
treat. I think that's what they call it. See, I don't know.
1:10
It's definitely not junk in the trunk is what I'm getting at. Go
1:12
to those, go to some of the festivals, go to a you know,
1:17
a pumpkin patch whatever, go to that kind of stuff. This weekend,
1:19
have your Halloween parties and then you know, maybe try out your costume
1:25
and then you got it ready to go for Halloween night. Maybe you could
1:26
do that. That's just a game plan. But yes, Halloween night is
1:30
when trigger treating will get started. And depending on your area, it might
1:33
be six to eight, it might be seven to nine. It might be
1:34
six to nine. And if they're having junk or in the trunk, you
1:40
know, maybe you want to stay out a little past trigg or treat time.
1:44
That's a different activity. Let's get into it. It's Friday, and
1:48
that means it's time for some strange and bizarre news from around the world.
1:53
We're starting with a couple of stories from Florida. A student pilot in Florida
2:00
will certainly be grounded for a while. He through a massive temper tantrum,
2:04
got himself arrested. Police say twenty three year old samib Singh, a student
2:09
from India, was upset that his request for a solo flight got rejected,
2:15
so he decided to destroy. Well, we went on a rampage, but
2:19
he destroyed or at least damaged ten airplanes. Authorities say the man was a
2:23
student at Treasure Coast Flight School taking flight lessons at Widham Field Airport in Stuart,
2:32
Florida. School officials call police to report the man was going plane to
2:38
plane, damaging each one. Ten have been grounded until mechanics can fix each
2:43
one. He was arrested and charged with criminal mischief. That's not a good
2:50
behavior for a student of any kind. I wonder how long as a student
2:53
pilot he had been working towards getting his pilot's license and getting cleared, and
2:58
he just lost it as he got told no, I'm sorry, you can't
3:01
have a solo flight. Also in Florida, police in Florida arrested a hardened
3:07
criminal who threatened to shoot CVS employees if they did not give him all of
3:14
the viagra. Let me just tell you right now, ladies, if you're
3:19
dating a guy who needs all the viagra, maybe you should you know,
3:25
look elsewhere. If he needs all the viagra. And I'm not saying if
3:29
he needs some viagra, I'm saying he needs all of it. That might
3:32
be a flag. Cops say, twenty three year old twenty three and he
3:38
needs all the viagra, Cops say, twenty three year old Thomas Muse walked
3:44
up to the pharmacy CBS Pharmacy and handed over a note threatening to shoot employees
3:50
if he did not get bottles of viagra in addition to other prescription drugs,
3:53
including oxycodone, xanax Adderall workers were obliged and filled up up a bag of
4:00
pills. When he left the store, he was immediately greeted by police,
4:03
who took him into custody. Mughes was arrested in charge with several drug trafficking
4:09
and possession charges, as well as armed robbery. Why did he need all
4:15
of the viagra? I just don't understand the quantity. It's one thing if
4:19
he's like, hey, give me a bottle of viagra, and you know
4:23
some of these other you know, the fun drugs, I guess is what
4:26
the other ones are. I don't know. I don't do recreational drugs,
4:30
but I've had oxy coton when I've had surgery, right, those other two
4:35
I've never had. But I you know, I assume that that's what he's
4:39
getting them for recreational purposes or to sell them. But give me all the
4:43
viagra. Maybe he's going to sell those two. I guess maybe that's what
4:46
he's getting at all. Right. We know it's not a good idea to
4:49
clown around with police, especially when you're trying to break the law, but
4:54
a Washington state man certainly tried. Police pulled over a driver using the carpool
4:59
lane with a fake cl dummy posing as his passenger. The police recognized the
5:03
clown was a fake and ticketed the driver. The real dummy, the officer
5:09
later wrote on social media. Love the Halloween vibe, but it still doesn't
5:13
count. It's a pretty terrifying looking dummy that's in the car. Here's the
5:17
deal too, Okay, And if you're I'm not advocating anybody using a carpool
5:23
lane suspiciously under a suspect means, but a clown is probably only going to
5:32
draw attention. I don't know that. You know, if it looked like
5:35
a person, you got a much better shot at pulling that off. But
5:40
if it looks and this thing looks like a terrifying clown, this looks like
5:43
something he bought, maybe at Spirit Halloween, and he just stuck it in
5:46
his seat. So, a sixty pound African tortoise that escaped from its owner
5:51
in Florida, we're back in Florida more than three years ago, remained on
5:56
the run ever since, has finally been found. The animal was reported missing
6:00
in twenty twenty and disappeared without a trace until the sheriff's deputies recently spotted her
6:06
trying to cross a road in Florida, about sixty miles south of Jacksonville,
6:13
to be specific. Deputies said they knew that she was someone's pet because she
6:16
was friendly to people and enjoyed getting patted on the head. The tortoise was
6:20
turned over to a nonprofit animal refuge and was able then to track down the
6:27
owner. It turns out the animals three and a half year journey took her
6:30
about five miles away from home. She likely survived on weeds and flowers.
6:34
Vets say she's in a little bit of rough shape, but otherwise healthy.
6:39
That's a happy story. That's the kind of story that if you watch it
6:43
as an animated movie. He's gonna meet lots of fun characters and friends.
6:47
One of them is gonna die. And that's why I don't watch those kind
6:50
of animated movies. I just can't handle it. I don't want to see
6:55
that. I know they're taking animated ones. I think I've said it doesn't
6:59
bother me as much if it's, you know, showing real animals. I
7:03
can't handle that. I don't want to watch an animal die in a movie.
7:08
I just can't handle that. Reports of a dead body found in the
7:12
woods in England, I guess eventually, like his story, went around and
7:16
then eventually had a happy ending. Police retrieved a call from someone said they
7:23
spotted human limbs sticking out of the woods on the side of the road.
7:26
The road was closed for more than thirty hours as law enforcement and a forensics
7:30
team conducted an investigation. Ultimately, a pathologist concluded that the dead body was
7:34
in fact a very dirty, broken and overused sex doll. Yeah, overused
7:44
in the discarded in the woods. I guess it didn't even provide cab fare.
7:48
Come on, man, all right, coming home from vacation always a
7:53
little depressing, but at least you have somewhere to come home too. An
7:57
Atlanta woman returned from vacation to find her home had been abolished, and did
8:01
you see this story? Susan Hodgson says that her home, which your family
8:05
has owned for a long time and had been boarded up and hadn't been lived
8:09
in for fifteen years, but continued to pay taxes on it and kept the
8:13
yard mode and clean. That she received a phone call from a neighbor who
8:18
asked, it you hire somebody to tear down your house next door to me.
8:22
Hodgen said no, and the neighbor told her whether someone over here just
8:26
demolished her whole house and tore the entire house down. Hodgon says that she
8:31
confronted the demo crew. They were rude to her and told her to mind
8:33
her own business. She identified herself as the owner and asked to see their
8:37
permit, and that's when the worker pulled it out and said, oh,
8:39
I'm at the wrong address. No apology was given, according to the woman,
8:45
and the crew just packed up and left. The company says it's investigating
8:48
what went wrong and working to resolve the issue. That's not good. That's
8:56
not good at all. How do you tear down the wrong how there's a
9:01
lot of Florida stories. We've got a couple more coming up. Florida woman
9:05
has been arrested for driving a car she painted like a Florida Highway Patrol car,
9:09
but not because she wanted to impersonate a cop. She explained that she
9:13
fell in love with a color scheme. Twenty eight year old Yulia Pugachev was
9:20
pulled over in a black and tan Dodge which had a light bar on the
9:24
roof and a police badge on the side. The police logo, the woman
9:30
tried to convince officers she didn't paint the cars and simply bought it that way,
9:33
but officers told her that's impossible. Their patrol cars are always painted before
9:37
they go to auction. The woman was arrested charged with operating a motor vehicle
9:43
with no registration, imitation of a Florida Highway Patrol unit, and misuse of
9:48
a dealer license plate. Seems like the least severe of those charges in there.
9:54
A Florida man on the run from police for aggravated battery barricaded himself inside
9:58
a house, t the trick officers by putting out a sign letting them know
10:01
he wasn't inside the house. Deputies in Lakeland, Florida, were looking for
10:07
forty one year old Johnny Yates and followed him into the house, where they
10:11
were surprised by a whiteboard on the door with a note which read, Johnny
10:13
Yates does not live here. That's what he would say if he didn't want
10:18
the cops to come in right. Cops weren't fulled. They got an allowed
10:22
speaker and ordered him to come out as they As they waited for him to
10:28
leave, they noticed somebody else came out. Deputies told to ignore the sign
10:31
because Yates was in fact inside the house. After an hour went by,
10:37
there was still no sign of Yates. Deputies used a smoke bomb to get
10:39
him out. When that didn't work, they sent in a canine dog to
10:43
sniff it around, and that's when he was found hiding in a dresser drawer.
10:48
After he was arrested and later told deputies he had taken methamphetamines and some
10:52
blue pills. Maybe he's working with another guy, the guy that wanted all
10:58
the Viagara right. Maybe they're working together. That was also in Florida,
11:03
not the same town though, but still they could have been working together.
11:07
This could be like one of those crossover stories like The Walking Dead, and
11:11
then you find out there's another group somewhere else in the store, and then
11:13
they meet each other. Maybe so Finally, a police station in South Africa
11:20
I had to call for backup last week to respond to a surprise intruder that
11:26
ended up being at crocodile. Officers were shocked to find an eleven foot crocodile
11:30
that had wandered into the police station. Understanding that the vast training didn't extend
11:35
to handling an enormous, deadly reptile. It's a dinosaur at this point,
11:39
that's huge. They had to call in the search and rescue team to come
11:43
in and wrangle up the intruder. They were able to safely remove the croc
11:48
and load it on the back of a truck and then taken out into the
11:52
wild and released. I'm looking at a photo of this thing. It is
11:56
massive. This is a big I mean, it's a dinosaur. You know.
12:00
This is Jurassic Park stuff, and it is huge. Today's show brought
12:05
to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring and educating
12:11
the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages.
12:18
I mean they do it for school age kids as school age kids visit
12:22
the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through their university
12:26
programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in
12:33
space and stem fields are booming right now, and you can learn more about
12:39
maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
12:46
also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that
12:52
they do with the Schwobe School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under
12:56
the Dome. It's unlike any concert ex experience that you can get anywhere else.
13:01
It's one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
13:05
you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
13:09
this is a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium
13:16
at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music under the
13:20
Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows and also check out when the
13:26

13:35
lights. You don't want any light interference, and you can do that as
13:37
well upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org.
13:45
As Sean Crusan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you
13:50
that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show
13:56
brought to you by Overhead Door Company of color Columbus. For all of your
14:01
garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
14:07
time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that
14:13
move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
14:18
care of square in that away for you, and while they're there, you
14:20
can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to
14:24
make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want
14:30
it to be and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
14:33
Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
14:37
when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation issue
14:41
that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in
14:46
and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add
14:50
a screen door to your garage door system that you can put down and you
14:54
can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, or you
15:00
know, if you like to work on your own cars in there, or
15:01
maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd like to be able to open
15:05
the door up and not invite all the insects in. They can do that
15:09
for you as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing
15:13
worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage
15:16

15:22
as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty five hundred seven oh six

15:31
Right after the break, well do you like spice on your pizza?
15:43
Well, how about if they get spicier and spicier, or there's a new
15:48
frozen pizza collaboration now available that will let you experience a full range of heat
15:52
with each slice. Banza, it's a brand best known for producing chickpea pasta,
16:00
has teamed up with Tabasco to produce what they're calling Hotter by the Bite
16:03
pizza, each slice containing two different types of hot sauces. First, you'll
16:08
start with a regular red pepper sauce, and as you bite your way toward
16:12
the crust, you'll experience the bites getting hotter and hotter from the scorpion sauce.
16:18
The pizza is made with chickpea flours, so it's gluten free. The
16:22
vice president of bans Are Bonza the heat level bill. This is what he
16:29
says, the heat level bills with each bite. So we found people's reaction
16:32
to the first bite was so much different than their second or third, which
16:36
is exactly what we were going for. The limited edition pizza is only available
16:41
on their Eat Banza, Bonza whatever, Eat Bonza dot com. So here's
16:45
my question. Remember the old stuff crust pizza ads. I think I didn't
16:49
Trump do one of those and they said you eat it backwards. I think
16:55
Rush Limbaugh did one. You'd be one of a kind. You eat it
16:57
backwards, start with the crust, and then you eat towards the front.
17:03
If you'd rather start hot and then work your way to something more mild,
17:07
that that's an option. That's I'm just offering that as an option if that's
17:10
what you want to do. I don't know. I don't know that I'm
17:15
necessarily going to be in the market for these pizzas, and I know that
17:18
my house at Luke would probably eat one. By the way, they retail
17:22
at thirty two ninety nine, and then there's free shipping and it says best
17:30
coping mechanisms are ranch, milk and tears. Okay, and the thirty two
17:36
ninety nine price that comes with two pizzas. You get two hotter by the
17:40
bite pizzas and they're nine inches in diameter. So there you go. It's
17:45
a good looking box, nice colorful box, and it shows the spice getting
17:48
hotter as you shuld come from the middle of the pie towards the outside.
17:53
So yeah, all right, just passing along the info thirty two ninety nine
17:57
if that's what you want to do. You know, whatever, whatever float
18:00
your boat, whatever gets the job done for you. That's what I'm saying,
18:03
all right, so this is a weird study that was done. They're
18:10
ranking best places for vampires. We're coming into the weekend that'll be a lot
18:14
of Halloween parties and obviously Halloween next week. So this study that was done
18:21
ranks the best and worst cities for vampires. Yeah, I don't know.
18:26
It is the best and worst cities for vampire that's what they say. New
18:30
York City number one best city for vampires. The researchers based the results a
18:36
number of vampire friendly metrics, including human population, the number of blood centers,
18:41
casket suppliers, homes with basements. They also considered vampire deterrence like garlic
18:48
festivals and too much sunshine. At least for friendly vampire city is Buckeye,
18:52
Arizona. Top ten best places after New York is Chicago, Columbus, Ohio,
19:00
Philadelphia, LA, Houston, Portland, Madison, Wisconsin, Seattle,
19:04
Washington, Omaha, Nebraska. This is a weird survey, period, but
19:11
I think it's just fun for the fact that it's you know, Halloween season,
19:18
just kind of looking into a little bit of the Southeast. I see
19:21
Charlotte at twenty four, Atlanta at twenty five, and let's see Birmingham,
19:29
Alabama at thirty six, Nashville at thirty seven. Yeah, I think those
19:34
are the big ones. Those are the ones that we need to know about.
19:37
Trying to scan quickly just to see if we've got any more. As
19:41
I'm scanning and I see the Californias, the c as, sometimes they jump
19:47
off as a GA, but no, I think that's about it for our
19:49
area. So I fe Florida, Jacksonville, and Orlando. We on there,
19:53
but they're much further down the list. It's too much sunshine, you
19:57
know you got. If you're gonna be high on the list, you can't
20:02
have that much sunshine. That's just the reality. It's way too much sunshine
20:07
for the vampires. And that's just a reality check that you've got to remember
20:12
when it comes through. On Halloween parties, no one gets more into it
20:17
than gen Z. According to a new poll, forty two percent of gen
20:19
Zers say they take their Halloween parties very seriously, compared to only thirty four
20:26
percent of millennials. They all agree that the elements of a great Halloween party
20:32
are costumes, food, and decorations. When selecting a costume to where,
20:37
they said they consider three things, whether it needs to coordinate with a group,
20:41
if others will understand it, whether or not the food will mess up
20:45
their makeup. Two thirds of gen Zer say they need to have a lot
20:48
of candy at the party, compared to forty three percent of millennials, and
20:52
sixty one percent of gen Z believe decorations can make or break the party,
20:57
compared to only forty percent of millennials. Uh, speaking on behalf of gen
21:02
X, We're probably going to be asleep. No, I'm going to a
21:06
Halloween party this weekend. I am. It's a great Halloween party, and
21:08
I'm looking forward to it, and I'm not really worried about my makeup and
21:11
my food. Just saying that'll do it for this Friday edition of the show.
