Strange and Bizarre News with a Revisit to the Texas Butt Guy · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:09
Friday morning, fourteenth day of June. I'm Wes. Thanks for joining me,
0:14
kicking off your Friday morning with me and getting ready to roll into a
0:20
weekend. And that weekend may involve travel. We'll talk more about that later
0:25
in the show. But this is a good vacation week if you planned ahead.
0:29
The one that's coming up. Got that Wednesday holiday right there in the
0:34
middle for some if your employer is giving you the Juneteenth holiday, it's a
0:40
nice setup for some travel and it's one last day you have to take off.
0:43
Next week, we'll talk more about travel, and we'll talk about bed
0:46
bugs, and if you decide that you would like to try out naked biking,
0:53
we'll tell you the places that you might want to travel this summer and
0:57
experience naked bike. I don't know why you would want to, but we'll
1:00
talk about that coming up a little bit later in the show. It is
1:03
Friday, and that means we'll do some strange and bizarre news from around the
1:07
world, and we'll start in Texas with a follow up to a really disgusting
1:14
story we had, you know earlier in the year. You may remember the
1:19
man who was caught on surveillance camera. He was going around an antique store,
1:26
taking things off shelves and sticking them in a place that you don't want
1:32
to know that an antique has ever been, and then putting them back on
1:38
the shelf. Well, he has now caught a plea deal so that he
1:41
will stay out of jail. Sixty year old Michael vest a six foot six
1:46
two and fifty pound gentleman who was wearing a kilt I guess, and walking
1:53
around an antique store two different stores, I guess, and the kilt allowed
2:00
him easier access to where he'd like to place items and then put them back
2:04
on the shelf. He accepted a plea deal in court last week and that
2:08
put him on probation for twelve months. He won't have to go to jail,
2:13
and if he can stay out of trouble and avoid sticking other things in
2:15
his but at antique stores, well, I guess the charges will be wiped
2:23
from his record. A California man was in his kitchen doing dishes when he
2:28
was visited by a bear. These bear stories, we're back to that time
2:32
of year where we get the bear stories that pop up. I guess there's
2:36
a couple times a year. You get them when it's getting hot, and
2:38
then you get them when it's starting to cool down. Maybe just before hibernation.
2:44
I don't know, but we got some bear stories. We had one
2:46
last week, so Jason Rightman in Sierra Madre, California, had a three
2:54
hundred pound bear walk through his back door enter his kitchen. Rightman grabbed his
2:59
phone own or white men and one, it says an r and one it
3:02
has a white man. I'll just go it. I grabbed his phone started
3:06
capturing the encounter on video. He later shared it on Facebook. In it,
3:09
he can be heard asking the bear, hello, are you nice,
3:14
and then inform the intruder, you're in my house, get out of my
3:15
house. It's nice that he's polite about it. Most people wouldn't be so
3:20
polite about having a three hundred pound animal that could kill you in your home.
3:28
The bear spent a few minutes in the doorway thinking about what to do,
3:30
and eventually returned to the backyard, where he met with a second bear.
3:34
White Man continued talking to them and telling them to leave, which they
3:38
eventually did, and after a few minutes when they climbed a fence and enter
3:40
the neighbor's yard. No damage. No one was hurt that we know of.
3:46
As anybody talk to the neighbor. Is the neighbor? Okay? Has
3:50
anybody done just a well check on the neighbor. I do admire the guy's
3:54
ability to stay calm and peacefully just talk to the bear. I mean that's
4:00
nice. You would think it would be a scream and yell and make noise
4:03
or something, but that wasn't his strategy at all. A flight in China
4:09
was delayed more than an hour after a passenger smuggled a pet sugar glider and
4:15
it got loose on the plane, inside the cabin and found a place to
4:20
hide. Police were called to the airport in Shanghai after receiving report a passenger
4:26
on a China Eastern Airlines plane illegally brought the small animal on board. Passengers
4:30
were forced to disembark while authorities tried to capture the sugar glider. It's type
4:36
of flying possum. The animal was finally caught and its owner was arrested for
4:42
disrupting order on public transportation. The plane eventually took off and reached its destination.
4:48
An hour late. So in the end, you know everybody was delayed
4:54
an hour. You'd be annoyed. If you were delayed an hour, you'd
4:57
be annoyed at the whole sense of all of it. I guess I just
5:00
wonder when someone's able to smuggle a live animal onto an airplane, and we
5:05
hear stories like that from time to time. I just don't understand how they're
5:09
able to get the live animal on the plane, Like, what else can
5:12
you smuggle on a plane if you're able to easily smuggle a flying possum on
5:18
there, I guess that's my question. A British woman who was doing some
5:24
gardening at home discovered something in her garden that had been missing for a couple
5:31
of years. Meg Johnson was pulling weeds out of the ground when she spotted
5:34
a plastic bag that contained what appeared to be a wet, filthy, partially
5:41
decomposed dress, and it occurred to her, hey, this is the dress
5:46
that I ordered in twenty twenty two and never received. Even though the British
5:50
delivery company Yodel insisted no, no, we delivered the dress at the time.
5:57
Johnson and Yodel went back and forth, resolved the matter, but since
6:00
the company said that the delivery was confirmed on their end and they couldn't do
6:03
anything about it, Johnson says it's pretty clear now that the delivery driver likely
6:10
just tossed the package over the fence onto the property instead of placing it at
6:14
her front door, which is why she never saw it. And she contacted
6:18
Yodel to let them know, hey, I found the dress. It was
6:21
buried in the yard, and she says that she received an apology and nothing
6:28
else. Just an apology, that's all. Man went into a Charlotte,
6:34
North Carolina restaurant and ordered a meal for himself and his date, although the
6:39
date probably not going to eat anything because of well, we'll get to that
6:46
in a second. A waitress posted on social media a video of this man
6:53
at the table who was seated with his date, and said that she was
6:58
concerned she might lose her job for posting it because they're not allowed to post
7:01
on social media while they're working as a waitress at the restaurant where she works,
7:06
but she thought it was just something that she had to post anyway,
7:11
even if it meant possibly losing her job. See the man was seated at
7:14
the table across from a blow up doll. So apparently after posting it,
7:23
and this is apparently a nice restaurant in the Charlotte area, and according to
7:30
eventually digging into this, it turns out the man was there with an inflatable
7:34
date because he had lost his fantasy football league and it was his punishment,
7:38
I guess, for finishing in the last place. See, that's one of
7:41
those things that happens in these fantasy sports leagues. It's not just about winning
7:45
sometimes it's also about not losing. So and my issue with fantasy sports,
7:53
that's not even my biggest problem. My biggest problem with fantasy sports, especially
7:56
like football, is what if the only quarterback of available is a quarterback that
8:01
plays for a team that I don't like, it's rivals with my favorite team.
8:05
I don't want to have to hope that Dak Prescott throws eight touchdowns so
8:09
that I can win a fantasy football league or game or whatever. I don't
8:13
want to have to do that. I don't want to have to pull for,
8:18
you know now, to be Saquon Barkley with the Eagles. I don't
8:22
want to have to do that. It's pretty simple for me. I just
8:24
want to be a fan of the team that I'm the fan of, not
8:28
the pretend team. But that's just me. An elderly Florida man thought that
8:33
the existence of nude beaches in Florida gave him the right to go completely naked
8:37
in an RV park, and of course that's not the way it works at
8:43
all. Witnesses saw seventy three year old Roth Braun. That's the name of
8:46
a guy, by the way, that's walking around naked at an RV park,
8:50
Rolf Braun. Witnesses saw him completely nude walking through the RV park and
8:54
called police. When officers arrived at the park, they knocked on the door
8:58
of Bron's camper and were greeted by him wearing a T shirt as shorts and
9:05
the neck part of the shirt was in the front, so you know,
9:09
the important parts weren't really covered up at all. Officers say that he was
9:13
uncooperative and argued there are nude beaches in Florida, so I can be nude
9:20
in this neighborhood. Braun was arrested charge with exposure of his sexual organs that's
9:26
the way it's worded, and resisting arrest. I mean, you're gonna make
9:31
the effort of putting the T shirt on. You know, maybe make sure
9:37
that you know something other than the neck hole is right there in the front
9:41
as you're answering the door. That's all I'm saying. Tennessee man was arrested
9:46
after he got drunk, assaulted deputies and told them that he was Garth Brooks.
9:50
He wasn't. Knox County Sheriff's deputies responded to a call about an intoxicated
9:54
man screaming for help outside a hobby lobby store, but when they arrived,
9:58
he was already go on. Employees at a nearby Low's said that he was
10:01
inside their store's restroom yelling. Deputies found him there and noticed that he was
10:07
unsteady on his feet and smelled of alcohol. Imagine that as they led him
10:13
out of the store, he continued to yell and scream profanities and tried to
10:16
get away from them. He told them his name was Garth Brooks. Deputies
10:20
used facial recognition software to confirm that he was not Garth Brooks but forty seven
10:26
year old Truman Wayne Chapman, and he was already had several outstanding warrants arrested
10:33
in order to stay away from hobby Lobby. How about the Low's Should he
10:39
stay away from there as well? I mean I would think there would be
10:43
that would be part of it, right, stay away from hobby Lobby.
10:46
Oh yeah, And I don't know. Maybe Low's is a little more open
10:50
to the drunk people screaming and yelling inside their bathrooms, which if so,
10:56
that's great, Just good to know. Keep that in mind, put in
10:58
the back. Put it. Just make a note of that, mental note
11:01
of that that if you want to do that, that's where you go.
11:03
Don't go to Hobby Lobby, go to Low's instead. New Jersey man was
11:07
stopped by police for shoplifting ended up being arrested for the rarely used charge of
11:13
illegal possession of a deer. Police received a call from a supermarket for help
11:20
with a shoplifter who had just left the store. When officers arrived at the
11:22
scene, they found twenty three year old Matthew Keighley walking away from the store
11:28
carrying a reusable shopping bag. As they spoke with Keighley, they noticed a
11:33
young deer poking its head out of the top of the bag. Police told
11:37
him that he was under arrest and that Keighley tried to run away at that
11:41
point, but he didn't get very far. I was taken into custody.
11:45
He was searched and found to be in possession of crack cocaine and drug paraphernilia,
11:50
and he was charged with illegal possession of a deer, possession of a
11:54
controlled substance, possession of drug pa fernilia, and resisting arrest. So how
11:58
big is this shopping bag? I'm assuming it was a small deer, but
12:03
even a small deer, how big was the shopping bag? Exactly? The
12:07
La Police Department investigating a strange crime that put public safety at risk and angered
12:13
some dogs. Police say that nearly one hundred fire hydrants had been stolen from
12:20
La County this year. The La County Sheriff's Department says fire hydrants play a
12:24
crucial role in ensuring effective fire response and public safety, and their removal can
12:28
cause serious consequences. Rest assured that our priorities are the safety and well being
12:35
of our community, we are fully committed to swiftly resolving this matter and ensuring
12:39
that all fire hydrants are restored and functioning properly. A Golden State Water company
12:45
that owns and operates these particular Hydrants says that the thefts happened daily and they
12:50
are responded by They have responded by installing locks on the bolts to prevent these
12:56
from unscrewing them. See they're made out of iron and brawn. Investigators believe
13:01
thieves are selling them for scrap metal. In California, where you, high
13:07
taxes have no effect on anything going on there. The crime in California has
13:13
nothing to do with inflation and high taxes or any of that stuff. Spirit
13:20
Airlines passenger whose suitcase never made it to the baggage carousel at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood
13:26
International Airport went into full investigator mode and ultimately tracked it down to a nearby
13:33
home of an airport employee who is now in jail. Paolo Garcia nervously waited
13:39
at the baggage claim for a suitcase where she was carrying her laptop, Apple
13:43
watch, iPad, jewelry and clothing. Normally, she carries the small suitcase
13:48
onto the plane, but this time, she says she was forced to check
13:50
it. After all the bags were picked up and hers never came out.
13:54
She spoke to a Spirit employee who told her not to worry. The suitcase
13:58
would be delivered to her home. The next morning, she received a signal
14:01
from her Apple Watch, and she tracked it to an address that was not
14:05
her home address or the airport's address. She looked it up and saw it
14:11
was a house about fifteen minutes away from the airport. Garcia assumed that the
14:16
Spirit Airlines had mistakenly delivered it to the wrong address, and she would later
14:22
learn no. It was stolen by a man who works at a retail shop
14:26
in the airport. Surveillance video inside the airport captured twenty nine year old Junior
14:31
Brazil rummaging through the suitcase in the back of the store where he worked.
14:37
Police arrested Brazil and charged him with grand theft. Unfortunately, the items he
14:41
stole were gone. Spirit Airlines said in a statement we issued a reimbursement check
14:46
to the guest as a courtesy, even though we are not currently aware of
14:50
any evidence that any Spirit employee was involved. We take any allegation of this
14:54
nature seriously, and we are investigating. A middle school crossing Guarden, Pennsylvania
15:03
is in jail because they say that she helped kids cross the street and then
15:07
supplied them with drugs. Please say that twenty six year old Kiera Lee,
15:11
an employee of Penwood's Middle School in Darby, Pennsylvania, was arrested after her
15:16
witnesses reported seeing her giving out vapes and marijuana edibles to children, and they
15:22
say that she even smoked weed with one of them. Investigators say she also
15:28
texted with one student had conversations with them about edibles. Lee, who also
15:31
worked at a community rec center, is charged with drug possession with the intent
15:37
to deliver, possession of marijuana, and corruption of a minor. And finally,
15:43
a British woman named Kelly Knips is such a prolific shopper she can do
15:48
it in her sleep. In fact, she does two year old. The
15:52
forty two year old woman claims that she wakes up in the morning and she's
15:58
deeper and deeper in debt because she's sleep shops. She's managed to rack up
16:03
four thousand dollars in debt and credit card and she has been diagnosed with the
16:07
strange condition where she yes shops in her sleep. She told The International Business
16:12
Times, this is really upsetting and frustrating going to bed thinking I don't know
16:18
what the night is going to lead to. Knipe says that she never knows
16:22
what's going to show up at her door. She's received things like cans of
16:25
paint, bulk order of Gummy Bears, refrigerators, furniture. She even ordered
16:29
a basketball court, a basketball court that included a pole, hoop, backboard,
16:34
fold up playing surface. She says that she's fallen victim to scammers because
16:40
she's unknowingly given out her personal information online as well. Thinking, you got
16:47
to come up with a way to lock down that computer. That's what I'm
16:49
thinking. You got to lock down the computer, the device, whatever you
16:52
got, so that you're not sleep shopping anymore. Today's show brought to you
16:56
by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Center, inspiring and educating the youth and
17:03
future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean
17:11
they do it for school age kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola
17:15
Space Science Center, but they also do it through their university programs where you
17:18
can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and STEM
17:26
fields are booming right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting your
17:30
degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out
17:38
some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with
17:44
the Schwob School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
17:48
It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of
17:53
those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think,
17:56
is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a major
18:02
city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola
18:07
Space Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome. Check out
18:12
upcoming dates for the shows, and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's
18:18
coming up. Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the
18:22
Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights.
18:26
You don't want any light interference, and you can do that as well upcoming
18:30
Astronomy Night events. Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As
18:36
Sean Crusan says, Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you
18:41
that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show
18:48
brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage door
18:52
needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for.
19:00
It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and
19:03
have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
19:08
square in that away for you, and while they're there, you can always
19:11
ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
19:15
your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to
19:21
be and you need some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you
19:23
need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your
19:29
garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've
19:33
got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
19:38
Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add a screen door
19:42
to your garage door system that you can put down and you can use your
19:45
garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you
19:51
like to work on your own cars in there, or maybe you just want
19:53
a little man cavid, you'd like to be able to open the door up
19:56
and not invite all the insects in. Can do that for you as well,
20:00
and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
20:04
of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
20:08
you need somebody to come help, and they do those as well. Seven

five hundred O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right after the
20:22
break. A busy vacation week coming up next week with the Wednesday holiday.
20:38
Talked about this yesterday, but the Wednesday holiday just seated there right there in
20:42
the middle of Juneteenth. When some people are getting the day off. It's
20:45
one of those deals where maybe this weekend, maybe even today, you're you're
20:49
heading out and you're gonna take advantage of getting you know, you can take
20:52
a couple of days at the beginning of the week and then have your Wednesday
20:56
off and then maybe be back to work by the end of the week,
20:57
or you're taking the whole week off. But it's a busy travel a week
21:02
for this summer, that's happening, this week, that's coming up, So
21:07
just be aware of a few things. First of all, we talked a
21:11
little bit about bed bugs. Experts say, don't unpack your suitcase into the
21:18
drawers when you get there, because potential for bringing home bed bugs. There's
21:25
a lot of different places that they can hide in there once someone else is
21:29
unpacked. I guess once the bed bugs get in there and you put your
21:33
clothes in, you're coming home with bed bugs, unfortunately. And of course
21:36
you should still check the beds, but just one of the extra ways you
21:40
can be careful is not unpacking your suitcase. According to experts, just function
21:45
out of that suitcase as best you can, they say, or hang things
21:48
up in the closet. But let's talk a little bit more about bed bugs.
21:53
I know it's gross if you're listening in the morning. Nobody wants to
21:56
hear this while they're eating breakfast. But according to orcan Pest Control Company orcan
22:03
you know they get that army, they say that Chicago is the most bedbug
22:07
infested city in America. And here's their top ten. And thankfully I can
22:15
say that, you know, I don't see like the nearest to us,
22:19
I guess on this list would be Charlotte. So Charlotte is in your plans
22:25
for your travel maybe next week. So we've got Chicago, New York,
22:27
Philadelphia, Cleveland, LA, Detroit, DC, Indianapolis, Charlotte, and
22:33
for some reason, randomly in their Champagne, Illinois. But I guess that's
22:37
that's some proximity to Chicago, right, So I guess that kind of fits
22:42
with that. I don't know. Also if your travel plans for next week
22:48
or later in the summer involve the desire to bike naked. Yeah, apparently
22:59
people do. They get on a bike and ride it naked. I'm gonna
23:03
be honest with you. I don't. I don't find biking clothed overly comfortable
23:11
just because of that seat. I don't. I'm fairly certain that biking naked
23:15
would just make it worse. I don't want to get too graphic here,
23:18
I don't want you to picture too much. I'm just pointing out the fact
23:22
that biking nicked naked naked biking nicked. This sounds especially disgusting, so that
23:30
the little country slipped out there, didn't it. You heard that? Usually
23:34
don't get that word coming out of me unless I'm speaking with like like a
23:37
family reunion kind of like that's where the word naked might come out, unless
23:44
I'm doing it to be funny. And that was not. That was a
23:47
genuine nicked that just came right out. So so if you're planning to try
23:52
to do some naked biking or nicked, we can offer you some of the
23:56
cities that you might want to travel to if that's what you want to do.
24:00
And I will say this, I don't know any of these cities would
24:03
recognize the word naked. I mean maybe Austin, Texas, and that one's
24:07
not a surprise, but Portland at the top of the list for naked biking.
24:12
Also Chicago, Philadelphia. Now I'm guessing that maybe Chicago, you know
24:18
that was on our bed bug list, right, I'm guessing maybe if you
24:21
go to Chicago and you're planning to bike naked and you don't take a lot
24:25
of clothing, you might be less likely to bring home, So that those
24:27
two stories may be related. Portland, Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle, La.
24:33
San fran Madison, Wisconsin. I don't I don't know that one.
24:37
I don't I mean, I know the city, I don't. I don't
24:40
know why that one's in there, Boston, Austin, and New York.
24:45
I like that Boston and Austin are back to back in there, So there
24:49
you go. I don't know, I don't really understand the idea where people
24:53
go, I've gotta go bike naked. But hey, whatever, whatever you

know gets people exercise. I guess, I don't know, maybe related,
25:03
maybe unrelated. I don't know to this story, but a lot of Americans
25:07
apparently wish that they were more adventurous. That would include naked biking right.
25:12
A survey found sixty percent about sixty percent of Americans said that they wish that
25:18
they were more adventurous, and forty percent of those surveys said that they have
25:22
an adventure bucket list that they want to do. I don't know how many
25:25
of them have naked biking on that list, but they do say many of
25:30
the things on the bucket list have to do with being outdoors sixty two percent,
25:34
So they wish that they spend more time outdoors than they currently do,
25:38
and they say insects and pests primarily are what keep people from doing their outdoor
25:45
adventure. Other wildlife also included on that list, getting lost, needing a
25:51
bathroom and not having one, running out of water, running out of food.
25:55
I mean, these are all valid concerns when you're out enjoying the outdoors.
26:00
And they say that maybe those concerns about the wild explain why nineteen percent
26:06
consider themselves inside cats. I don't know why cats they consider themselves like inside
26:12
cats. They stay away from the outdoors altogether. I guess that's what that
26:17
term is about, inside cats. But anyway, that'll do it for this
