Strange and Bizarre News Mostly from Florida · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

0:01
Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show Friday
0:08
morning, at twelfth day of July. I'm Wes. Thanks for starting your
0:14
day with me. I haven't talked about this yet. I know it's Friday
0:18
and we're gonna get to the strange and bizarre news from around the world,
0:22
largely from Florida. This week. I got Florida on the brain. Anyway.
0:28
I'll tell you more about that in a second. But I haven't really
0:30
talked about the fact that articles of impeachment filed against some Supreme Court justices by
0:37
AOC. What are we doing this whole? Like, I just impeach them.
0:42
We're just gonna impeach everybody. Let's just impeach what for? We're just
0:46
gonna impeach. We're gonnampeach them. We're gonna impeach them. Impeach them.
0:48
That's what you gotta do. You gotta get all these It's gonna take away
0:51
all the sting of it. I think it already has. When you can
0:55
impeach someone with no hope or plans of any full disciplinary action other than just
1:03
oh, you filed the impeachment. Oh, this is what your attempt to
1:07
do. That's what you want to You want to get them because they did
1:10
not recuse themselves from court hearings cases that she believes that they should have.
1:22
That they they because they're conservatives, they shouldn't have been part of this whole
1:26
thing with Trump. It's their involvement in actually hearing out the cases and in
1:34
the law following the law that was already in place concerning immunity with presidents that
1:41
are enacting some sort of authority in doing their job, that they should have
1:49
recused themselves because they're conservatives. Meanwhile, we have people, and I'm pretty
1:56
sure she was one of them, that have screamed in the past that they
1:57
need to, you know, pack the core. We got to pack the
2:00
court, got to as many justice as stack pack whatever it is. Got
2:05
to get as many liberal justices in there as possible. So if we're gonna
2:12
say that justices should not hear cases based on the fact that they are conservative
2:20
or liberal themselves, then what's the point of, you know, letting everybody
2:25
know that they're a conservative or a liberal. See, it would be one
2:30
thing if you had a justice who openly said I disagree with this particular ruling,
2:42
but I'm gonna vote for it anyway because I'm a conservative. I disagree
2:45
with this, but I'm gonna vote for it anyway because I'm a liberal.
2:50
Because we didn't get a chance to have the case heard while she was still
2:53
alive, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who said that she openly said that she didn't
3:00
think Roe v. Wade was constitutional and that it should go to the States.
3:06
That's where she felt like it should go. So if Ruth Bader Ginsburg
3:10
had had an opportunity to possibly overturn Roe v. Wade, if she had
3:14
voted not to overturn it while having said that she does not think that Roe
3:21
v. Wade was constitutional, that would be a case where you would say,
3:23
well, now you're just being a party line hack, that's what you're
3:28
doing. So that's the accusation here from AOC because you know, she's I
3:32
don't know, trying to make herself relevant or whatever. I don't know what
3:36
she's doing, but she's followed her impeachment, and I know they're trying to
3:39
bring up some ethics charges against Clarence Thomas. Just imagine a scenario where any
3:49
of the non white justices on the Democrat side, if this was happening to
3:53
them by Republicans. Think of the outrage we'd hear about anyway. All right,
3:59
that's it. Let's I wanna say about that right now. We'll see
4:01
if that goes anywhere, how that becomes more and more relevant in time.
4:06
I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen with it. All
4:09
right, let's talk about strange and bizarre news from around the world, and
4:12
look at a few stories from Florida. I was trying to get together all
4:15
stories from Florida, partly because coming up in a couple of weeks, I'm
4:21
going to be in Florida, not on vacation but working. I've been credentialed
4:29
to go to the unveiling, if you will, of the new Artemis rocket.
4:34
It is currently on a boat somewhere on a barge being shipped around Florida,
4:40
and it will be from New Orleans and it will be taken to the
4:45
Space Coast to the Kennedy Space Center and then it will be taken off the
4:49
boat and they're having an event there. And I got some I got my
4:55
invitation by mail by email, not old school mail, by email. And
5:00
my good friend doctor Sean Cruising also so the two of us are going to
5:04
head down there in a couple of weeks and we're going to do that.
5:06
So that is exciting. That'll be fun. This is going to be the
5:11
rocket that is going to take astronauts around the backside of the Moon and then
5:15
bring them back home. They did this with a rocket without astronauts. Now
5:19
they're going to do it with astronauts and do all the tests and get ready
5:24
to send some astronauts back to the Moon and put some fresh bootprints on the
5:29
Moon. I mean, it's a seventy two it's been that long since we've
5:32
had people on the Moon, and we haven't had a woman up there yet.
5:36
We haven't had a person of color up there yet. They're going to
5:40
check some boxes and say, this is a milestone, and that's great.
5:45
It's great that we'll have that opportunity for people to be able to do that.
5:47
And of course, when Donald Trump talked about doing it as president with
5:51
oh he's going to put boobs on the Moon, that was the joke.
5:55
That was the Oh my gosh, he's going to do that. That's what
5:58
he wants to do. He's going to have a space force ha ha.
6:02
And then Biden becomes president of people go Space force is important. There were
6:06
actually people in you know, the military saying it was important because you know,
6:11
there's actual things in space that we have to protect. A space force
6:15
is important. Anyway, let's talk about We're doing that in a couple of
6:18
weeks. Excited about that. We'll be talking about it more on it.
6:23
We talked about it on yesterday's Made of Stars. We'll talk about it next
6:25
week on Made of Stars, and we're definitely gonna talk about a lot in
6:29
a couple of weeks, So interviews and all kinds of stuff while we're down
6:32
there and looking forward to that. That'll be coming up in a couple of
6:36
weeks. Twenty third is the day of the event. Okay, so I've
6:40
had Florida on the brain. I got some strange and bizarre news from Florida.
6:44
Let's start with a Florida man who stole a golf cart, kind of
6:49
got away with it for the most part, and then he blew it.
6:55
Instead of just getting away with it, maybe driving the golf cart around his
7:00
neighborhood or whatever, he decided to go on social media and try to sell
7:03
it to a police officer. Police were tipped off to a social media post
7:09
by twenty seven year old Zachary David Muller. He shared a photo of the
7:14
golf cart, which had been reported stolen and he was trying to sell it.
7:17
Sheriff's deputy, posing as a potential buyer, contacted Muller and set up
7:21
a time and a place to complete the transaction. Muller showed up without shoes
7:28
on and without a shirt that sounds about right for Florida man, and then
7:35
attempted to flee when he realized, ooh, this is a cop. He
7:39
was chased down by canine dogs and apprehended he wasn't wearing shoes. I don't
7:44
think you're getting away from the canines anyway, but you got a better shot,
7:46
probably with shoes on. Muller was charged with theft. Cops also found
7:51
that he was wanted for crimes in three counties. So nicely done there.
7:58
Guy could have just had a golf cart, driven it around your neighborhood or
8:03
not stolen it. A completely different Florida man thug himself a significant sized hole
8:11
after being caught trying to steal three thousand dollars worth of dirt from a municipal
8:16
Services facility Please. A thirty three year old Dimitri Alexander Alvarado showed up to
8:22
the facility with ten trucks and ordered bacco operators to load them up with dirt.
8:30
Supervisor of the facility showed up for work and an employee told him that
8:33
fifteen loads of dirt worth about three thousand dollars was being loaded onto the trucks.
8:37
The supervisor called police and told him this guy is not authorized to take
8:43
dirt from us. We have no contract with him, no indication of exactly
8:48
what Alvarado was planning to do with the dirt. He was arrested in charge
8:54
with grand theft and booked into the Lee County jail. I mean, I
9:00
guess if you get three thousand dollars worth of dirt, you cut it?
9:03
Have I been watching too many mob shows. You cut it, and then
9:05
you sell a little baggies of the dirt, right, you know? You
9:11
cut it with something it's not necessarily dirt. You cut it with I don't
9:16
know, clay, whatever. It doesn't work, does it? Got to
9:20
cut it up with something else and then you sell it. That's what you
9:24
do. A Florida woman this time went to jail after she attacked her boyfriend
9:31
because he did not want to cuddle with her. At least a twenty two
9:37
year old Gillian Yugen wanted to cuddle, but her boyfriend wasn't in the mood.
9:45
No means no, ladies. You know, sometimes a guy doesn't want
9:48
to cuddle, and if he says no, you have to respect that.
9:54
She attempted to snuggle up with him multiple times and failed. He got angry,
10:00
and that's when she tried to get him in the mood for cuddling by
10:05
grabbing his chest, hair, scratching his face, and then biting him on
10:09
the forehead. She also broke his phone. Seems to be like, that's
10:15
a very different turn, you know, pulling the chest, hair, scratching
10:20
the face, biting the forehead, breaking the phone. Eugen was arrested charged
10:26
with domestic battery in order to have no contact with the victim. So maybe
10:31
in jail she'll find a lady that wants to cuddle, you know, maybe
10:35
that's something that she could find while incarcerated. A Florida man is under arrest
10:41
in charge with a tempted bank robbery after he handed a note to a bank
10:46
teller demanding a penny cop say forty one year old Michael Patrick Fleming walked into
10:54
a bank, filled out a withdrawal slip in the amount of one cent,
10:56
and handed it to the teller. The teller told him that she could not
11:00
withdraw a penny or any amount of money because he doesn't have an account with
11:05
that bank. Fleming then allegedly said, so you want me to say the
11:09
other word. It's unclear what he meant by that, but the teller understood
11:13
that to be a threat and called police. When officers arrived, Fleming was
11:18
still inside the bank and was taken into custody brought to the Sheriff's office,
11:22
where he told deputies he was trying to get arrested. Fleming is no criminal
11:26
record. It's unclear why he wanted to be arrested, but he got his
11:28
wish held on a five thousand dollars bond. And that's where I ran out
11:35
of Florida stories. I tried. I tried to see how many I could
11:37
have. This is a gross Georgia story, and I'm only really telling it
11:43
because it's Georgia's story. It's gross. I'm warning you right now, it's
11:46
gross and disturbing. It's a way Cross, Georgia story. All right,
11:54
here we go. Joe Boyette and Mary Sweat apparently umm got into some legal
12:03
trouble because I guess Joe made a video of himself inside a restaurant, the
12:13
Rodeo Mexican Restaurant in Waycross, Georgia, where he was drinking a margarita from
12:20
inside Mary Sweat's backside. The video shows the man using a funnel. There's
12:28
more, but I'm just gonna stop there and you can use your imagination if
12:31
you want. I don't know. Customers and staff looked on and shocked.
12:35
The man laughed and ditched the funnel, and it proceeded without the funnel.
12:39
According to tmz A, the video of the incident went viral and Mary called
12:46
police to complain that someone leaked it to social media without their permission. Yeah,
12:52
that's the problem is that someone put this on social media, not the
12:58
actual act. Had not been made aware of the video at first brought to
13:03
their attention, and when they finally found out about it, they arrested the
13:07
couple charged them both with public indecency. So wait to go Georgia. See
13:15
that's a weird turn from the Florida stories. To go there? A Russian
13:20
woman got the surprise of her life recently when she found out she married an
13:22
Egyptian man. Too, was married to an Egyptian man for two years without
13:28
her knowledge. The unnamed twenty four year old woman from Saint Petersburg lost her
13:31
passport while on a trip in twenty twenty one and reported it to police.
13:35
Never got a new one. Earlier this year, while trying to get a
13:39
birth certificate for her new baby, she was told by the Russian registry that
13:43
her husband would also need to sign the request for the document. She insisted,
13:48
I've never been married, but government officials informed her that she was married
13:52
to a man named Mustafa, even though she's never met anyone named Mustafa.
13:58
An investigation into the matter concluded that Mustafa used her lost passport to apply for
14:03
temporary residents in Russia, claiming that they were married. A Russian court has
14:09
since annulled the marriage after confirming the woman never even met Mustafa and had reported
14:15
her passport lost three years prior. That's why you got to make sure you
14:18
report those things. You know you lose something, you gotta make sure you
14:24
report it. That's your best way to make sure. That way, this
14:26
kind of thing doesn't bite you all right. One last story today, a
14:31
Chinese man caught by customs agents with one hundred live snakes stuffed into his pants.
14:39
Officials say that the man was trying to travel from Hong Kong to mainland
14:43
China with six canvas bags shoved in his pants. When they opened the bags,
14:46
they found lives snakes of various sizes and colors total of one hundred and
14:50
four many of which were non native species and were seized by authorities. China
14:54
has become the world's biggest animal trafficking hub and or one of at least,
15:01
and has been cracking down at a legal wildlife smuggling. It's unclear what the
15:03
man's punishment will be. Maybe they could punish him by filling his pants with
15:09
snakes, Maybe that would be good. Or leave the snakes in his pants
15:15
and send in a ferret or a weasel, Maybe that would be a good
15:18
one. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science
15:24
Center, inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders.
15:31
That really of all ages, I mean they do it for school age
15:37
kids, as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but
15:39
they also do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy,
15:46
physics, and the careers in space and stem fields are booming right now,
15:52
and you can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC
15:58
dot org. While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming programs.
16:03
They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School of Music
16:10
from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience
16:15
that you can get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when you're
16:18
watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus,
16:22
Georgia. I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens right
16:29
here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the
16:33
new season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows
16:40
and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can
16:44
get outside, sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes
16:48
you get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference
16:52
and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website.
16:56
It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot
17:03
org, I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center
17:08
CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
17:15
For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you
17:19
have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance on
17:26
anything that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
17:30
Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you, and while
17:34
they're there, you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic
17:38
changes you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't
17:44
quite what you want it to be and you need some repair work done to
17:47
the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
17:52
it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
17:56
sort of installation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes that
18:00
stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd
18:04
like to add a screen door to your garage door system that you can put
18:08
down and you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
18:15
You know, if you like to work on your own cars in there,
18:17
or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd like to be able
18:19
to open the door up and not invite all the insects in. They can
18:23
do that for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
18:26
There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
18:32
your garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help, and they
18:36
do those as well. Seven oh six thory five eight forty five hundred seven
18:40
oh six three five eight forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol
18:45
Morning Show. Right after the break, Well, if you're thinking of traveling
18:57
to the state of New York, you may want to pack your own toiletrees.
19:04
Beginning next year, at least hotels in the state will not be allowed
19:07
to offer bottles of shampoo conditioner body lotion because lawmakers are banning them. The
19:15
new law, which is the first of its kind in the country, is
19:18
meant to reduce the amount of waste. Doesn't mean hotels can't still offer complimentary
19:22
toiletries. They'll just have to install wall mounted refillable bottles in the bathroom.
19:26
The law goes into effect in January and will apply to hotels with more than
19:30
fifty rooms, and then in twenty twenty six it will cover all hotels,
19:37
so they'll have a year to make the adjustment. So the idea, I
19:41
guess they got to lock those things down. You got to make sure people
19:42
aren't putting weird stuff in the shampoo? Is that me? Is that just
19:47
me that thinks that immediately where my brain go. Who's doing something weird in
19:51
the shampoo? It doesn't have to be anything gross. It could just be
19:55
eve remember the Brady Bunch. You don't want to get like the orange hair
19:57
or whatever. You don't need any other that Prime Day is Tuesday and Wednesday,
20:03
it's coming up, and some good deals. I'm sure I'm going to
20:07
be perusing the deals. I've already been looking at some of the pre Prime
20:11
Day deals. But how about this. If you're an Amazon Prime member,
20:15
and you've never used their photo app before. If you upload at least one
20:19
photo to their photo app by Saturday, which is tomorrow, I can pick
20:25
up a twenty dollars credit. That's not bad if you've never done it before.
20:29
This is what it says. I'm just I'm the messenger. Okay.
20:33
I can't tell you anything official about this, so there you go. All
20:37
right, let's talk vacation plans other than you know, not being able to
20:41
have shampoo in New York next year. But we can talk about this year.
20:45
So if you're trying to figure out what to do before the kids have
20:49
to go back to school, which is coming up fast. Travel and Leisure
20:53
has published the twenty four World's Best Awards, covering all the best travel destinations
20:57
in the US and around the world. Based on polling. Poles asked readers
21:03
to rate things like cities, islands, airlines, hotels, national parks,
21:07
and it concluded that the best US city to visit is Charleston, South Carolina.
21:12
How about that, topping the list for the twelfth consecutive year. That's
21:17
impressive, twelve years in a row. Second place was Santa Fe, New
21:22
Mexico, followed by Savannah Georgia and Honolulu, Hawaii. Best international city to
21:26
visit, they said, was San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. I guess
21:33
I got that right. Some of the other Best of the World winners Best
21:37
Island, Maldives, Best US National Park Yellowstone. Best international airline Singapore Quantas
21:45
is pretty good. I know I haven't flown Singapore, but Quantas is pretty
21:49
darn good. Best domestic airline JSX, The best domestic airport Minneapolis Saint Paul,
21:57
Best car rental company NASH, Best megaship Ocean cruise Line Virgin Voyages.
22:03
Hey, if you've ever wanted to go to Copenhagen or Copenhagen, but you
22:08
thought, my gosh, everything there is so expensive. You know, you
22:11
go there and you got to pay for all the museums and meals and all
22:17
that stuff train tickets. Well, apparently, if you're planning to visit Denmark,
22:23
the local Tourism board offering some incentives including free meals, free museum admissions,
22:27
free train tickets, and all you have to do is agree to help
22:32
Denmark continue to be one of the greenest and cleanest countries in the world.
22:37
Tourists can earn freebies by simply picking up garbage wherever they see it, using
22:41
bicycles to get around, even cleaning up the harbor. It's part of the
22:47
city's new Cope and Pay campaign. All tourists need to do to redeem rewards.
22:52
They show some sort of proof, like a ticket receipt or photo of
22:55
them pitching in to help. I mean, that's a big get, you
23:00
know, honor system deal there. But you know, if it gets you
23:03
a free ride on a train, free museum, it met free meals,
23:07
it's not bad. You look up flights at Copenhagen or Copenhagen, either of
23:14
those. And how about this. You know, you hear a lot about
23:18
sharks right now. Everybody taking about sharks down in the Gulf area. And
23:22
oh, you gotta be careful of those sharks. Oh, I guess maybe
23:26
on the other side, I don't know, all around Florida we're hearing about
23:30
sharks. How about that? But how about sand? If people really stop
23:36
to think about the fact that apparently more people die from sand suffocation than from
23:42
shark attacks, even in a year when it seems like there's a lot of
23:45
shark attacks. So people just digging holes in the sand, that's it.
23:52
That's all it is. And they say, if someone is falls into one
23:55
of these sand holes at the beach, or you know, something collapses on
23:59
them wile they're being buried in the sand, it's really hard to get them
24:02
out. A sand is heavy and unstable. Researchers try to dig out sand
24:07
to free the victim. When rescuers, I should say, the hole often
24:11
continues to collapse and refill with more sand. Experts say you only have about
24:15
three to five minutes to save a person who's trapped in a sand hole before
24:18
they suffocate. That's why they recommend never digging a hole deeper than two feet.
24:26
How about that? Never think about that, do you. I'm not
24:30
really like, I don't really get overly freaked out about sharks at the beach.
24:34
I understand right now. Or I mean it's maybe not as bad at
24:37
the moment. I don't know. But we had that start to the summer
24:41
where it was like, ah, sharks everywhere, and people are like,
24:45
oh my gosh, there's sharks in the ocean. Who knew. But I've
24:48
never really been a big like bury me in the sand person. My kids
24:52
like it, and I get that, but you know, it's kids and
24:55
you're not burying very much. I've never been a big, hey, bury
24:59
me in the sand person. Don't want to do it, just don't want
25:03
