Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:05
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:08
Speaker 2: Friday morning, seventeenth day of January. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:14
Speaker 2: joining me. It is Friday. That means it's time for
0:20
Speaker 2: some strange and bizarre news from around the world. One
0:24
Speaker 2: of those strange and bizarre things that's happening is this
0:28
Speaker 2: whole whatever is going on with TikTok over the weekend,
0:31
Speaker 2: so following all of the saga and drama with that.
0:34
Speaker 2: But that's not one of my strange and bizarre news
0:36
Speaker 2: stories today. Oh No, We're going to talk about a
0:40
Speaker 2: few things, starting with Christmas trees. Do you still have
0:42
Speaker 2: your Christmas trees up? Do you still have your decorations
0:44
Speaker 2: up here? Now past the day that most people say
0:46
Speaker 2: is acceptable that was yesterday to have your decorations still up?
0:51
Speaker 2: Some people, I think are keeping the lights up. I
0:53
Speaker 2: just don't know about the tree. I mean, if you've
0:55
Speaker 2: got the fake tree, the aluminum, the plastic, the whatever tree,
1:00
Speaker 2: then you know, maybe you have that up still. Most
1:03
Speaker 2: people that are doing the real tree, I would assume
1:07
Speaker 2: those are looking rough by this point, and if you
1:09
Speaker 2: haven't taken them to one of the places where they
1:11
Speaker 2: throw them in the chippers, or they donate them to
1:14
Speaker 2: you know lakes. If you got a fish in Lake Man,
1:16
Speaker 2: you get some of those trees in there. That's what
1:18
Speaker 2: you want, isn't it. But how about this story? So
1:23
Speaker 2: I guess there's been people eating Christmas trees. Now this
1:28
Speaker 2: isn't in the States, this is in Belgium. Belgium's Federal
1:31
Speaker 2: Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain responded quickly
1:36
Speaker 2: to the City of Ghents recommendation to cook the pine
1:41
Speaker 2: needles as one of the ways to recycle Christmas trees.
1:44
Speaker 2: City officials said in Scandinavia, they've been doing it for
1:48
Speaker 2: a long time. You pick the needles from the branches,
1:51
Speaker 2: briefly immersing them and boiling water, pouring them through you know, strainers,
1:57
Speaker 2: and then ultimately drying them on a clean cloth. Once
2:01
Speaker 2: the needles are dry, they make delicious spruce needle butter
2:07
Speaker 2: and serve them for bread or for toast. The Food
2:12
Speaker 2: Safety Commission warned that Christmas trees should not become part
2:16
Speaker 2: of the food chain, explaining most of those trees have
2:18
Speaker 2: been treated with pesticides flame retardants and that can cause
2:22
Speaker 2: serious illness or even death if consumed In response to
2:27
Speaker 2: the warning, the city of Ghent revised its recommendation to
2:30
Speaker 2: read not all Christmas trees are edible. A Michigan man
2:35
Speaker 2: accused of stealing hot pockets at gunpoint was arrested after
2:38
Speaker 2: cops caught him at work eating a hot pocket. Daniel
2:42
Speaker 2: Hudson is accused of walking into a Dollar General store,
2:45
Speaker 2: stuffing hot pockets into his pockets that would then make
2:50
Speaker 2: them hot pocket pockets. Right an employee confronted him, he
2:54
Speaker 2: allegedly grabbed a container of chicken wings, flashed a gun
2:57
Speaker 2: in his coat pocket, threatened to blow his head off.
3:00
Speaker 2: The manager told Hudson to leave and then called the police.
3:05
Speaker 2: The manager told officers he knew Hudson because he's a
3:09
Speaker 2: regular company and he knows where he works. And the
3:16
Speaker 2: manager told officers he knew Hudson because he's a regular customer,
3:20
Speaker 2: I think, let's say, and then he knew where he worked.
3:22
Speaker 2: Cops then drove to his workplace, where they found him
3:25
Speaker 2: in the break room eating one of the stolen hot pockets.
3:29
Speaker 2: They also found him in possession of a nine millimeter pistol,
3:32
Speaker 2: which he did not have a permit for. Hudson claimed
3:35
Speaker 2: that he did not intend to steal the hot pockets,
3:38
Speaker 2: and that he tried to pay for them. He didn't
3:39
Speaker 2: see a clerk, so he left Hudson, who was already
3:43
Speaker 2: a convicted felon, facing new charges of theft and being
3:47
Speaker 2: a felon in possession of a firearm. Maybe he's a
3:52
Speaker 2: Jim Gaffigan fan and it's just the one way that
3:57
Speaker 2: he can he can, you know, pay homage to one
4:01
Speaker 2: of his comedy heroes. I interviewed and met Jim Gaffigan
4:06
Speaker 2: many many years ago, maybe around of six, something like that,
4:11
Speaker 2: and I got him to sign a hot pocket box
4:14
Speaker 2: for me. I couldn't keep the hot pockets in it,
4:16
Speaker 2: but the box itself he signed for me and seemed
4:20
Speaker 2: to get a kick out of that. I'm sure I
4:21
Speaker 2: wasn't the first or the last. I don't know. Maybe
4:24
Speaker 2: he doesn't sign a lot of hot pocket stuff anymore.
4:27
Speaker 2: Police in Florida looking for a couple accused of robbing
4:30
Speaker 2: a family dollar store using a pretty gross tactic the
4:35
Speaker 2: Polk County Sheriff's office as a man and a woman
4:38
Speaker 2: entered the store and then split up. The man walked
4:41
Speaker 2: around and filled up a cart with nearly five hundred
4:44
Speaker 2: dollars worth of items, which included cleaning supplies, and then
4:49
Speaker 2: his female friend, apparently because what she was going to do,
4:55
Speaker 2: you would understand why he might need cleaning products. He
4:59
Speaker 2: was gathering the cleaning items and she was making a
5:03
Speaker 2: tooozy on the floor in a different part of the store.
5:07
Speaker 2: The incident created a distraction as employees immediately addressed the
5:12
Speaker 2: mess and started cleaning it up. While their attention was redirected,
5:16
Speaker 2: The couple walked out of the store with the stolen items,
5:18
Speaker 2: fled the scene. Police have security footage of the couple,
5:21
Speaker 2: whom they've dubbed mister Clean and Miss Dukie their words
5:26
Speaker 2: not mine, but as of writing of this story had
5:31
Speaker 2: not been caught yet. So if you know the whereabouts
5:35
Speaker 2: of mister Clean and Miss Dukie, please let the Polk
5:40
Speaker 2: County Sheriff's Office know. It's gross. It's disgusting if you've
5:45
Speaker 2: ever worked in a business. That's not a fun day
5:49
Speaker 2: for the people who were stuck actually cleaning it up.
5:52
Speaker 2: The folks forced to be mister or miss Clean dealing
5:57
Speaker 2: with Miss Dukie. Maybe she was a Green Day fan,
6:01
Speaker 2: I don't know. Florida woman was supposed to be going
6:04
Speaker 2: to a drug rehab facility ended up going to jail instead.
6:09
Speaker 2: After texting, a mix up took place. Octavia Wells was
6:14
Speaker 2: about to check into her treatment facility on New Year's Eve,
6:18
Speaker 2: but wanted to score some fentanyl before going in. She
6:22
Speaker 2: grabbed her phone, texted her dealer asking for a couple
6:24
Speaker 2: of points of fentanyl and identified herself as Octavia, and
6:29
Speaker 2: they arranged a time and place to complete the deal.
6:31
Speaker 2: When she showed up, she was met by police, who
6:33
Speaker 2: somehow knew that she was going to be there to
6:36
Speaker 2: buy drugs. Wells quickly realized that she didn't text her dealer. Instead,
6:40
Speaker 2: she mistakenly sent a text to Stephen Pettijohn, an investigator
6:45
Speaker 2: with the Bay County Sheriff's Office. Pettijohn is known to
6:48
Speaker 2: everyone as PJ, which happens to be the same initials
6:53
Speaker 2: as her dealer, and she sent the text to the
6:55
Speaker 2: wrong PJ. Petta John's contact info was stored in her
6:59
Speaker 2: phone because of a prior interaction they once had regarding
7:02
Speaker 2: a drug investigation. A search of Well's vehicle turned up
7:06
Speaker 2: drug paraphernalia and the presence of fentanyl. She was arrested
7:11
Speaker 2: and booked on drug charges. Sometimes these things have a
7:17
Speaker 2: way of taking care of themselves. Sometimes it's almost like
7:23
Speaker 2: you're crying for help in a way. Right, It's almost
7:28
Speaker 2: like just they work themselves out in some way. Maybe
7:32
Speaker 2: she just needed some help and this is the help
7:34
Speaker 2: she needed. We're hoping for a positive ending to the
7:36
Speaker 2: story for her and for all these people really, except
7:39
Speaker 2: for maybe Miss Dookie. Florida man was arrested for DUI
7:44
Speaker 2: after really pushing the blood alcohol limit to the extreme.
7:50
Speaker 2: Police in Polk County say forty three year old Miguel
7:54
Speaker 2: and Well Rodriguez was found passed out in the driver's
7:58
Speaker 2: seat of his car with the engine running and his
8:01
Speaker 2: foot on the brake. An officer tried to wake him up,
8:04
Speaker 2: he was unresponsive. He climbed into the passenger side put
8:07
Speaker 2: the car in park. Inside the vehicle were twelve empty
8:10
Speaker 2: wine bottles. An ambulance was called to transport Rodriguez to
8:14
Speaker 2: the hospital, where his blood alcohol content was calculated at
8:18
Speaker 2: a whopping point five two three. Yeah, there's no zero
8:22
Speaker 2: before that. Five. That's six times over the legal limit.
8:26
Speaker 2: Haynes City Police Chief Greg Gorik said that in his
8:31
Speaker 2: thirty years on the job, he has never seen a
8:33
Speaker 2: BAC level that high, and a living person point five
8:38
Speaker 2: two three horrible, terrible for the purposes of the story,
8:45
Speaker 2: I mean is that a record. Does he deserve some
8:48
Speaker 2: acknowledgment for getting that high? I mean, I don't want
8:51
Speaker 2: to encourage that behavior, but hey, NBA Hall of Famer
8:55
Speaker 2: Sean Kemp spared no expense in security as far as
8:58
Speaker 2: is fortifying his Seattle Bay Cannabis dispensary, but apparently a
9:04
Speaker 2: thief managed to get in any way using a Jaws
9:07
Speaker 2: of Life device. The Seattle SuperSonics legend owns Kemp's hannabis
9:12
Speaker 2: inside an old bank building, and it's heavily fortified, at
9:16
Speaker 2: least he thought so. On Saturday morning, a thief was
9:20
Speaker 2: able to break into the business using a hydraulic rescue
9:24
Speaker 2: tool known as the Jaws of Life, commonly used by
9:26
Speaker 2: firefighters and rescue crews. He used the large tool to
9:31
Speaker 2: pry his way through the glass doors and steal gates.
9:33
Speaker 2: Once inside, use the tool again to break into ATMs
9:37
Speaker 2: and empty out the cash. Surveillance cameras show him bringing
9:41
Speaker 2: the stolen cash outside to his vehicle and returning inside
9:45
Speaker 2: the store to steal other merchandise. Police responded to the
9:49
Speaker 2: scene an hour later. The thief was already long gone.
9:52
Speaker 2: They've been asking for the public's help to identify him.
9:55
Speaker 2: Kemp says, it makes you think, but I think we
9:58
Speaker 2: do pretty good business. He I'm involved with some good partners.
10:01
Speaker 2: We enjoy working with each other. We're not gonna quit. Obviously,
10:05
Speaker 2: we're going to keep doing our business, but we still
10:08
Speaker 2: want to alert people what's going on and definitely beef
10:12
Speaker 2: up our security. I like that he turned it into
10:15
Speaker 2: a commercial. It's a nice move. I mean, you take
10:18
Speaker 2: the press that you think, well, you know, if you
10:21
Speaker 2: take a hit on the insurance, at the very least
10:24
Speaker 2: you want to make sure you get a little insurance,
10:27
Speaker 2: an insurance paid for. I guess advertising that's what you want,
10:33
Speaker 2: all right. A Polish Army general has been given the
10:36
Speaker 2: boot after a major screw up that he tried to
10:38
Speaker 2: cover up until the manager of an Ikea store snitched
10:42
Speaker 2: on him. Major General Arthur Keptjinski was directing soldiers to
10:47
Speaker 2: unload a shipment of military supplies from a train. Unfortunately,
10:51
Speaker 2: a shipment of anti tank minds never made it off
10:55
Speaker 2: the train and left the station. The general knew the
10:58
Speaker 2: explosives were left on the train, but ignore it even
11:00
Speaker 2: forged documents to say that they were never part of
11:03
Speaker 2: the shipment. Just as he believed he had successfully swept
11:06
Speaker 2: it all under the rug, the army received a surprising
11:09
Speaker 2: phone call from the manager of an Ikea store, who
11:12
Speaker 2: said they received a shipment of explosive devices that they
11:16
Speaker 2: do not typically sell, you think, and asked if the
11:20
Speaker 2: military would like to come get them. After an investigation,
11:23
Speaker 2: the general was dismissed from duty and could face legal consequences. Yeah.
11:31
Speaker 2: I don't know how you think that's not going to
11:32
Speaker 2: come back to get you. Dare I say that that's
11:35
Speaker 2: not going to blow up in your face? Because it
11:38
Speaker 2: probably is and it did, I mean not literally, thankfully,
11:43
Speaker 2: but yeah, it's eventually going to end up somewhere. So
11:48
Speaker 2: you got it at some point own up to it,
11:50
Speaker 2: don't you. I mean, I guess you don't until they
11:52
Speaker 2: finally come to you and say, yeah, this this is
11:56
Speaker 2: you're you're You're out. A Canadian man was arrested in
12:00
Speaker 2: after he tried to board a flight back home with
12:03
Speaker 2: a crocodile skull. Customs agents at the airport in New
12:06
Speaker 2: Delhi pulled the man aside at a security checkpoint after
12:10
Speaker 2: they discovered a skull with sharp teeth, resembling a jaw
12:13
Speaker 2: of a baby crocodile. Department of Forrest and Wildlife confirmed
12:17
Speaker 2: that the skull is from a protected species of crocodile.
12:21
Speaker 2: The traveler was arrested for violating India's Wildlife Protection Act
12:25
Speaker 2: and the skull was confiscated. It's unclear where he obtained
12:30
Speaker 2: the skull or what he intended to do with it.
12:35
Speaker 2: You know, a necklace, you know, That's what I'm thinking.
12:39
Speaker 2: You know, you get to you ever see those people
12:40
Speaker 2: like the like the swamp people, like they'll do that.
12:43
Speaker 2: They'll make a necklace with like a tooth. Why wouldn't
12:46
Speaker 2: you want to use the skull? I mean, it's it's
12:49
Speaker 2: kind of taken it to that next level, right, It's
12:52
Speaker 2: just it's bumping it up just a little bit. I
12:55
Speaker 2: mean it's not a clock. But I think for like
12:58
Speaker 2: for the swamp people, you know, I would guess, I mean,
13:02
Speaker 2: he's Canadians, He's probably not swamp people, but you know
13:04
Speaker 2: what I mean, I would think the whole skull of
13:08
Speaker 2: a crocodile would definitely be bumping it up a notch,
13:12
Speaker 2: wouldn't it. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State
13:14

Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
15:01
Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
15:06
Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
15:08
Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
15:15
Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
15:18
Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
15:22
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
15:26
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
15:28
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
15:31
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
15:34
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
15:37
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
15:40
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
15:42
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
15:46
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
15:50
Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
15:53
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
15:57
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
15:59
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
16:02
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
16:05
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
16:08
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
16:10
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
16:13
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
16:15
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
16:17
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
16:20
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
16:23
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
16:26
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
16:29
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thory five eight forty five

Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right
16:40
Speaker 2: after the break Well, if you're looking for work, it's
16:53
Speaker 2: got to be frightening and frustrating to hear this. A
16:57
Speaker 2: new report from the hiring platform Greenhouse found that companies
17:01
Speaker 2: are increasingly posting ghost jobs. The report found that about
17:06
Speaker 2: twenty percent of the jobs posted last quarter were not real.
17:09
Speaker 2: Companies post these jobs with no intention of hiring anyone.
17:15
Speaker 2: According to the data, construction jobs had the highest rate
17:17
Speaker 2: of being classified as ghost jobs at thirty eight percent.
17:21
Speaker 2: Art industry jobs were second at thirty four percent. Legal
17:24
Speaker 2: jobs in third place twenty nine percent. Greenhouse found in
17:28
Speaker 2: the second quarter of twenty twenty four, almost thirty one
17:31
Speaker 2: percent of corporate job postings never led to anyone being hired.
17:36
Speaker 2: A survey from resume Builder found thirty nine percent of
17:39
Speaker 2: hiring managers said that their company posted a fake job
17:42
Speaker 2: listing in the past year. Of those who did, twenty
17:46
Speaker 2: six percent posted one to one to three of those
17:49
Speaker 2: fake job listings, nineteen percent posted five, nineteen percent posted ten,
17:55
Speaker 2: eleven percent posted, fifty ten percent, twenty five, thirteen percent,
17:58
Speaker 2: seventy five or more so. Apparently, the reasoning behind this
18:03
Speaker 2: is that some companies post the fake listings to make
18:06
Speaker 2: themselves look like they're growing, or to keep a stash
18:09
Speaker 2: of resumes kind of amassed for future use. So that's frustrating.
18:17
Speaker 2: That's not great news to hear. A new Gallupole asked
18:23
Speaker 2: Americans which professions they trust the most and which they
18:26
Speaker 2: trust the least. At the very top of the list
18:28
Speaker 2: are nurses, with seventy six percent of Americans so they
18:31
Speaker 2: have a positive view of nurses. That's followed by grade
18:34
Speaker 2: school teachers, military officers, pharmacists, and medical doctors. The least
18:38
Speaker 2: trusted professional is a lobbyist, followed by members of Congress
18:43
Speaker 2: and TV reporters. Ouch. Well, you familiar with this new
18:48
Speaker 2: trend called ab etching. It's a six pack surgery, best
18:55
Speaker 2: way to describe it, with guys deciding that they want
18:58
Speaker 2: to have abs, so they do this ab etching. The
19:01
Speaker 2: procedure as cosmetic surgeons, strategically removing fat around the abs
19:05
Speaker 2: to create a sculpted look. It's a very precise form
19:09
Speaker 2: of life as suction that, thanks to modern technology, has
19:12
Speaker 2: gotten more consistent and dramatic effects. So why starve yourself
19:17
Speaker 2: and suffer through crunches when there's a shortcut to, you know,
19:21
Speaker 2: getting those etched apps. Look, I got mixed feelings and
19:28
Speaker 2: all this stuff, and I think the whole idea of
19:31
Speaker 2: you know, the people that say, hey, I used you know,
19:35
Speaker 2: this medication to help me lose a lot of weight.
19:37
Speaker 2: That's great. It's a very different process than the people
19:41
Speaker 2: who are you know, like watching their food intake or
19:47
Speaker 2: they're watching specific types of food. But whatever gets you
19:50
Speaker 2: to a healthier place, if it's something like this, and
19:53
Speaker 2: again it's your body. You do what you want to
19:56
Speaker 2: do with your body. You know that. I'm an advocate
19:59
Speaker 2: for that. Being able to make up your decisions about
20:01
Speaker 2: what you want to do. It's kind of cheating, don't
20:05
Speaker 2: you think it's just cheating a little bit if you're
20:07
Speaker 2: I mean, whatever you gotta do. If someone told me
20:11
Speaker 2: you have to have a perfect six pack, and you
20:15
Speaker 2: got to have it, you know, in a week so
20:18
Speaker 2: that you're you know, ready for a scene in a
20:20
Speaker 2: movie and we're going to pay you this large amount
20:23
Speaker 2: of money, it probably would do it. But again, it's
20:26
Speaker 2: still kind of cheating just a little bit, isn't it.
20:28
Speaker 2: People put in hard work to get those six packs,
20:32
Speaker 2: all right. Classic claw machine that you can find in
20:36
Speaker 2: arcade Still there is making a big comeback offering luxury prizes, smartphones,
20:41
Speaker 2: designer handbags, even cash, and this isn't really aimed at
20:45
Speaker 2: kids anymore. The expensive stuff inside the claw machines is
20:48
Speaker 2: made playing at a bit of an adult obsession also
20:51
Speaker 2: costs more to play, also a little more high stakes
20:55
Speaker 2: when it comes to you know, you can't cheat and
20:57
Speaker 2: shake the machine or try to just break everything into
21:00
Speaker 2: the thing. It's a little different now, is it not
21:04
Speaker 2: just gambling? I don't I don't understand how how this
21:07
Speaker 2: is not just I know all of our sporting events
21:10
Speaker 2: seem to be sponsored by you know, gambling apps and
21:14
Speaker 2: casinos and things, but I mean, is that not just gambling?
21:18
Speaker 2: I remember when there was a game that we used
21:20
Speaker 2: to be able to play in the arcades. You put
21:23
Speaker 2: in a token and it would, you know, there's all
21:27
Speaker 2: sorts of things moving around, and ultimately, if there's enough
21:30
Speaker 2: tokens there, the machine would push more tokens down into
21:33
Speaker 2: the thing and you would get more tokens and you
21:36
Speaker 2: could play, you know, for an hour and build up
21:39
Speaker 2: enough tokens that it finally pushes the amount of tokens
21:42
Speaker 2: back that you either put in the machine, maybe you
21:45
Speaker 2: come out a little bit ahead the poor sap who
21:48
Speaker 2: would play the machine and then run out of tokens
21:51
Speaker 2: just as he's about to win, and then the next
21:53
Speaker 2: guy comes up and puts in a token, and then
21:54
Speaker 2: they have a big score. And then eventually they took
21:58
Speaker 2: those away and said, no, you're just gonna and tokens.
22:01
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, you're gonna win the little tickets, not tokens
22:06
Speaker 2: because it's gambling. I mean, there was a time you
22:08
Speaker 2: would do it with quarters and it absolutely was a
22:12
Speaker 2: type of gambling. Or it's a strategy game, I guess,
22:15
Speaker 2: but anyway, when there's a cash prize involved, they take
22:18
Speaker 2: all the fun out. I don't know how this isn't
22:19
Speaker 2: the same thing. All right, that'll do it for this
22:22
