Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:08
Friday morning, second day of February. It's Groundhog Day. How much more
0:15
winter will we get depends on how many children we have. We learned that
0:20
yesterday, didn't we you have more than two kids. It's just selfish and
0:25
you're killing the planet. We'll all be dead in twenty years. Anyway.
0:29
You might as well enjoy some hilarity with Andy McDowell, Bill Murray and Chris
0:34
Elliott, oh and Brian Doyle Murray of course, and just enjoy yourself.
0:40
Have a great Groundhog Day today, and I hope you really are able to
0:44
enjoy it just once through. I don't know, maybe a few times over.
0:49
I don't know what classic movie that is The Groundhog Day, Oh my
0:53
goodness. And we're a little over, like a month and a half away
0:56
from getting her next installed. I think it's a month and a half,
1:00
the next installment of the Ghostbusters franchise. It's a big time for Bill Murray
1:06
fans, just a big time. It is Friday, so it's time to
1:11
I don't know, let's dive into some strange and bizarre news stories from around
1:18
the world. We got a couple of international stories in here. I'm looking
1:23
forward to getting to those, but first we're gonna start in Florida. We
1:27
get a lot of stories from Florida. I almost feel badly for my friends
1:32
that live in Florida because there's a lot of these stories that take place in
1:37
Florida. Some of the really they usually involved drunk people almost always, or
1:42
at least folks that have had a beverage or two. Florida woman was arrested
1:48
after police say she went into a convenient store completely naked and threatened to kill
1:55
a clerk with a vegetable peeler. Police say thirty five years year old Celia
2:00
Barrett was drunken naked carrying a vegetable peeler when she walked into a race track
2:06
store in Saint Petersburg. Who hasn't done that? And started yelling about being
2:10
kicked out of the store the day before. She then destroyed a red Bull
2:15
display, ripped open a carton of cigarettes. That's where I draw the line.
2:20
I mean, you're not destroying a red Bull display, and then showed
2:24
off her vegetable peeler after destroying, ripping open the cart and cigarettes, and
2:29
she threatened to kill one of the workers. When police arrived on the scene,
2:32
Barrett was engaged in some leude activities and was promptly arrested. She was
2:38
charged with aggravated assault, this orderly intoxication, trespassed, criminal mischief and exposure
2:46
of herself, you know, with the nudity and all and the lude activities.
2:53
Pretty lengthy rap sheet already for a variety of convictions in the past.
2:58
Not a big shocker there, I mean, all right now, this is
3:02
a story about someone who was trashed, but not intoxicated. It's a different
3:07
kind of trashed altogether. Police in Manchester, New Hampshire, say that a
3:13
woman somehow fell into a dumpster outside her apartment complex and was then picked up
3:20
and tossed into a garbage truck. Sounds pretty terrifying if it's not scary enough.
3:25
The truck drove around collecting more trash and compacted the trash four times while
3:30
she was in the truck. Somehow she managed to survive. The driver of
3:37
the truck eventually spotted the woman through a camera setup that's inside the truck,
3:40
Thank goodness. He called nine one one. Firefighters rushed to the scene and
3:46
were able to rescue the injured woman. The fire chief said, in thirty
3:49
two years, I've never seen anything like this in my whole career. It's
3:53
alarming because you don't really think it's true. You don't think it really happens.
4:00
But in this day and age, times are tough and people do different
4:02
things. So that was definitely one for the books. The woman told firefighter
4:06
she was throwing away her trash when she fell into the dumpster. So I
4:11
don't know what the police chief was thinking there when he says times are tough.
4:14
I don't know. I don't know where he was going with that particular
4:16
part of the story. But she said she was just throwing trash in and
4:19
she fell in. Thankfully they were able to take care of her. Speaking
4:25
of times being tough, this is an interesting theft caper, if you will,
4:32
that took place in upstate New York. There were two men who were
4:35
arrested for stealing used cooking oil from fast food restaurants. And I guess the
4:44
employee at a Taco Bell is the one who called the police on him.
4:47
Khalio White is his name. Working at Taco Bell, he spotted the men
4:53
who were attaching a hose to an oil tank and pumping out gallons of a
4:59
used cooking oil from the restaurant into a tank inside a rental truck. White
5:05
knew they were exactly what to do, but he just decided he would wait
5:10
and see, you know, give him time. Didn't get involved while they
5:14
were there. Once they left, he says, that's when he caught police.
5:16
By that time, the two men had driven to a nearby Popeye's restaurant
5:20
and we're doing the same thing. White followed them and reported their license plate
5:26
to the police, who caught up with them at a nearby gas station,
5:30
and that's when twenty four year old Gary Rivera and twenty seven year old Jonathan
5:34
Soriano were arrested for larceny in possession of burglary tools. Soreano was given an
5:41
additional charge of criminal mischief to a bathroom at the Sheriff's office. Don't really
5:46
know what was going on there. I don't want to know what was going
5:48
on there. The men had six tanks inside the truck, two of them
5:53
were completely filled with cooking oil. The plan was to fill up all of
5:57
the tanks and take them to a refinery where the oil would be turned into
6:00
biodiesel fuel and then sold, so it's at least a creative caper. And
6:05
I don't really know if it's used oil that's sitting, what do they do
6:10
with it at the restaurants. I assume someone comes and picks it up,
6:13
But are they then using it to make biodiesel fuel? In that case,
6:17
yes, they're definitely. I guess that's what they do with it. I
6:20
don't know. Didn Willie Nelson make that popular and cool. Police in Colorado
6:26
are searching for a suspected thief in a three year long panty pilfering ring.
6:33
Uh huh. Investigators in Lakewood say that a man had stolen roughly thirty thousand
6:42
dollars worth of underwear from apartment laundry rooms. The suspect was identified from surveillance
6:47
camera footage as a thirty nine year old named Hugo Salazar Hernandez, but had
6:54
not yet been captured. Police secured a search horn of his home found more
6:59
than five hundred pairs of women's underwear, bras pieces of lingerie that he'd collected
7:05
over a three year period. Victims are said to be at least thirty women
7:10
and children between the ages of six and sixty nine. They are searching for
7:15
Hugo Salazar Hernandez. Be on the lookout. It's a bolo for a Panti
7:24
raider. I guess I don't know all right. A Florida man was thrown
7:30
in jail for assaulting a convenience store clerk with a chocolate egg. It's back
7:35
in Florida, PULLI in a convenience store. Police say twenty seven year old
7:40
John Mijas stopped into a circle case store to pick up some things and wanted
7:46
to pay, so he waited in line. When he got to his turn,
7:48
he refused to let the clerk ring him up, and for some reason
7:51
insisted on paying the other clerk. He didn't say why. He inexplicably then
7:57
picked up a chocolate egg and threw it the first clerk's forehead. It's not
8:01
clear what kind of chocolate egg he threw. I mean, could it been
8:07
one of those like Kinder eggs maybe or Cadburry. I don't think they have
8:11
a Cadbury egg in a store, now, would they. The clerk was
8:18
hit with the egg. Mihas then jumped over the counter and continued to push
8:24
and strike the victim's face. That seems to be a bigger offense than the
8:28
egg. He was arrested for battery and booked into the county jail. Beating
8:33
him in the face, jumping the counter and beating him in the face seems
8:37
worse than throwing the chocolate egg at him. I'm just saying, all right,
8:41
So if you're ever on an airplane and you get frustrated with whatever is
8:46
going on on the plane, it might be a good suggestion to have on
8:52
your side all of the other passengers on the plane. Well, that's apparently
8:56
what I don't think it was planned this way, but that's the way it
8:58
played out out this particular incident. A passenger who was on an arrow Mexico
9:05
flight got arrested last week after he opened the emergency exit and walked out onto
9:11
the wing while the plane was being delayed on the tarmac, with the support
9:16
of the other passengers. So this is not an intoxicated person. This isn't
9:22
someone misbehaving. The flight that was going from Mexico City to Guatemala was delayed
9:30
for several hours and passengers were forced to endure horrible conditions, poor ventilation,
9:35
no water. So this one man finally got fed up and he opened the
9:39
emergency door. And walked down onto the wing. As he was being taken
9:43
into police custody, passenger circulated a letter through the cabin explaining that this is
9:50
a quote. The emergency exit was opened out of desperation after leaving us locked
9:54
in for almost four hours without ventilation, without water. The lay and lack
10:01
of air created conditions that endangered the health of passengers. He saved our lives.
10:05
All seventy seven passengers on the plane signed it to show their support for
10:11
this hero person they call a hero who was led away by police. So
10:18
airline pass this is a different airline kind of story. Airline passengers who had
10:24
just arrived at the airport in Brazil were forced to remain on the plane for
10:28
ninety minutes because they were being held captive by a huge swarm of bees that
10:35
had surrounded the plane. Moments after the plane landed, passengers were preparing to
10:39
disembark down the exterior stairs when they started hearing a loud, buzzing noise coming
10:45
from outside. The crew ordered passengers to return to their seats and said it
10:50
was because of a large swarm of bees that had surrounded the plane and it
10:54
wasn't safe to open the door. The pilot had to call in the fire
10:56
department for help. Where fighters arrived, took some time to assess the situation
11:03
before deciding to spray as substance at the bees to disperse them. It worked,
11:07
but it delayed their ability to exit the plane for ninety minutes. No
11:11
one was stung. The plane was later checked out by maintenance crews. And
11:16
I guess it's a happy ending for everybody in the end, other, of
11:20
course than the bees. Not a happy ending for the bees. Apparently,
11:26
Florida man stopped a dangerous driver and ended up getting himself arrested because he's not
11:31
a cop. Twenty nine year old Davonte Thompson was driving on the road noticed
11:35
another motorist driving recklessly and there were no police officers around, so Thompson decided
11:41
to pull up next to the driver, flash a badge and ordered him to
11:46
pull over. Problem is not his badge, He's not a cop. The
11:50
badge was stolen. It belonged to a retired sheriff's deputy. Once he had
11:54
the motorists pulled over, Thompson called nine to one one to report he had
11:58
pulled over a motus for motorists for reckless driving. The nine one. One
12:01
operator dispatched officers to the scene and they arrested Thompson for impersonating a police officer.
12:07
He said, I just wanted the police to do their job and help
12:11
get this guy off the streets. He pulled the citizens arrest. Remember that
12:16
Andy Griffith episode. He went full Gomer, chased him around. Citizens Arrest,
12:20
Citizens Arrest. A zoo in the UK is trying to fix a behavioral
12:28
problem with their African great parents, who've become one of the zoo's most popular
12:33
draws. The Lincolnshire Wildlife Park can't get their parents to stop swearing, and
12:41
they've been trying to get him to stop for over three years. The chatty
12:46
birds never pass up an opportunity to drop an F bomb on guests and visitors
12:50
are loving it. But the UK they don't want this. This is not
12:54
a proper language, proper Queen's English or King's English? Is it called King's
13:00
English? Now they want the birds to stop. Well, all the other
13:03
methods they've been using to try to get them to stop if fail. Now
13:07
they're hoping a little peer pressure will do the trick. The parrots are going
13:11
to be added to a flock of well mannered parrots in the hope that the
13:16
appropriate birds will set them straight. Is that how it works? I would
13:20
think that maybe, if anything, the new birds might start up with the
13:26
foul language. Had to I had to, right, it's there. It's
13:31
just it presented itself. You know, sometimes a plate gets in front of
13:35
you and you have to eat. The plate was there, I had to
13:41
eat. The joke was there. Right, I'm predicting that the new birds
13:46
will all start swearing. That's just my thought, all right. Finally,
13:50
Provo Utah police have finally put a stop to some shenanigans being perpetrated by a
14:01
seventeen year old. Police say that this seventeen year old, I don't know.
14:05
We don't have a name for him. I guess he's considered underage.
14:07
He's protected, he's a minor. But this seventeen year old that police say
14:13
had been going around and he was using duct tape to stick fish to ATMs
14:20
and other objects, including a police car. He does it to create content
14:28
that he could share on social media photos of his fish taping, which is
14:33
illegal. Most of the time involved trout. At least he's got a specific
14:41
fish I've been posted on Instagram account called fish Band at eighty four, which
14:46
has sixty two thousand followers. That counts Bio says live laugh tape fish on
14:52
ATMs. Police charged him with two counts of property damage. Still better than
15:00
the lick and the ice cream people. I mean, that's just my thoughts.
15:03
I understand if you own the ATM and you don't want to have to
15:05
clean it and all that stuff, or maybe you're inconvenience because you want to
15:09
use the ATM, Still better than the ice cream liquors. It's just my
15:13
thoughts. Today's show brought to you by Coloma State Universities Coca Cola Space Science
15:18
Center, inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders
15:26
that really of all ages. I mean, they do it for school age
15:31
kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they
15:33
also do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy,
15:39
physics, and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now,
15:46
and you can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot
15:52
org. While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming programs.
15:58
They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School of Music from
16:03
Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that
16:10
you can get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when you're watching
16:12
it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus,
16:17
Georgia. I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens right here
16:22
in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new
16:29
season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
16:33
and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can
16:37
get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes
16:41
you get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
16:45
and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also on
16:49
their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin says, Charlie Charlie
16:56
SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you that it's stands for Coca Cola
17:00
Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door
17:07
Company of Columbus for all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
17:12
Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
17:18
maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at
17:23
Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of square and that away for you,
17:27
and while they're there, you can always ask them questions about some of
17:32
the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
17:36
curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and you need some repair
17:40
work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door
17:44
completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
17:48
Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or warmer
17:52
weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at
17:57
a situation where you'd like to add a screen door to your garage door system
18:02
that you can put down and you can use your garage space as a sort
18:07
of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like to work on your
18:10
own cars in there, or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
18:14
like to be able to open the door up and not invite all the insects
18:17
in. They can do that for you as well, and again they do
18:19
after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
18:23
inside your garage and your garage door won't open and you need somebody to come
18:27
help, and they do those as well. Seven oh six thy five eight

com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break, well, have
18:49
you ever wanted to have the food from Chuck E Cheese, which, by
18:56
the way, it used to be Chuck E Cheese's was the name of it,
19:02
and I've been a strong advocate for pronouncing it correctly, but they have
19:06
since changed the name to Chuck E Cheese. So no, I'm not going
19:11
back on my initial I'm just I'm changing with the times. I've evolved with
19:15
the times, if you will, So, if you ever wanted the food
19:21
of Chuck E Cheese without having to actually go to Chuck E Cheese, you
19:26
know for all the fun at Chuck E Cheese, Well there's some good news
19:32
because there is now an official Chuck E Cheese Cookbook where you can prepare and
19:38
enjoy all of your favorites at home without having to listen to all the whistles
19:44
and bells and ski ball and video games, you know, the fun.
19:48
The one hundred and twenty eight page Chuck E Cheese and Friends Party Cookbook features
19:52
recipes for party favorites like pizza's caseity is, mummy dogs, birthday cakes,
20:00
and breakfast items, appetizers and desserts. So they have breakfast items. I
20:06
didn't know they had bruck but I guess it's just giving it. But I
20:07
see on the pizza. Can you replicate the pizza? I don't know.
20:12
But it's a party cookbook, so it's not just things that you would get
20:18
at Chuck E Cheese, although I would imagine that's, you know, a
20:22
significant part of it. But anyway, so the Chuck E Cheese a cookbook,
20:29
Chuck E Cheese and Friends Party Cookbook. You know, it's set to
20:33
hit shelves on March the nineteenth. All right, So there's a guy in
20:41
I guess he's a social media influencer in China, And I didn't know.
20:48
First of all, I didn't know that there was a Sam's Club in China,
20:53
or maybe he's not in a Sam's Club. Maybe just folks at Sam's
20:56
Club were excited about it. Folks that go to Sam's Club. Anyway,
21:02
this guy, the social media influencer has basically he visits maybe it is a
21:10
Sam's Club in China. He visits the store when he knows that they're going
21:14
to be giving out all of their samples, like the peak times, when
21:18
he knows the most will be there, and he navigates through the store and
21:23
basically ends up putting together an entire meal of food for free. So this
21:30
is what he does. He goes at the peak times. He takes with
21:34
him a bowl of pre cooked rice, so the meal is not completely free.
21:37
He's got to do the rice thing. But he hits all the sample
21:41
kiosk and he asks that the sample be placed in his bowl of rice,
21:45
and he asks for seconds if they'll give him more. He does this until
21:49
he's made himself a big giant bowl of food, and basically it's kind of
21:56
been mixed reactions, with some people's say it's brilliant, some people saying he's
22:03
a freeloader. So but it's interesting. I mean, you got to admire
22:11
the craftiness, don't you think of I mean, who hasn't gone to Sam's
22:18
Club and enjoyed the samples and maybe gone back around and asked for a second
22:23
one for something that you really liked, but you know, to actually take
22:30
a bowl of rice in there with you and think ahead. You know.
22:33
I give him credit for it. It's pretty clever. I've been called cheap,
22:37
but I've never done this before. I'm just saying. Well. A
22:40
new analysis that says plastic consumption in the state of New Jersey has actually tripled
22:48
since the folks in New Jersey started banning plastic bags at supermarkets and other stores,
22:56
and they say it tripled since the band went into effect in summer of
22:59
twenty twenty two. Experts say it's because most reusable bags are made from non
23:03
recyclable plastic, so when you wear one of them out, it goes to
23:07
a landfill. Plus sales of garbage bags have increased. Experts worry that the
23:14
pollution created by manufacturing the reusable bags offsets a lot of the benefit of not
23:19
having plastic bags blowing around. So I guess we'll just see what happens in
23:25
the long term. But the intention this is one of those things where they
23:29
don't have a plan. They often just don't have a plan, do they.
23:33
They don't think it all through. They just kind of throw something together
23:37
and see what happens. A lot of the plastic bags now you can't even
23:41
recycle them, So you know, what's what's the point? Right? All
23:45
right? Finally, do you flush the toilet with the lid up or down?
23:49
The powerful force of the flush can shoot disgusting microscopic particles into the air,
23:56
and that's why some might argue that flushing with the lid down is more
24:00
hygienic thing to do. However, microbiologist Charles Gerbis at the University of Arizona
24:06
has been studying toilet germs for nearly fifty years. Oh what a life this
24:10
guy's had. This guy is just live in the dream, isn't he?
24:15
What a wild scene for fifty years. He says that it doesn't matter because
24:22
anyway you flush it, those particles are being released. He says, a
24:25
lot of people said, all you have to do is close the lid and
24:27
the problem is solved, is solved. All that air when you flush goes
24:32
somewhere, though, and it carries the viruses that are in the toilet bowl
24:34
out of it, so he's an expert. He says, it doesn't matter,
24:37
don't worry about it. That'll do it for this Friday edition of the
24:41
show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll
