Strange and Bizarre News with Bees in the Wall · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

0:01
Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:08
Friday morning, third day of May. I'm Wes, thanks for joining me.
0:13
Star Wars Day Eve, two days before Cinco to Mayo, three days
0:18
before Saye Tomaio, four days before Sieta Tomaio. I'm showing off my Spanish.
0:25
I knew that even before Duo Lingo Man, I didn't meet all that.
0:31
I'm down with some of that Espaniol. Gonna be watching some Star Wars
0:37
tomorrow. I gotta be honest with you, that's gonna happen. And yes,
0:39
I'm gonna be wearing a Darth Vader helmet most of the day because I
0:43
can. And I don't want anybody to try to stop me, unless it's
0:46
my wife, in which I'll listen to her, but most anybody else,
0:49
anybody else, just try to stop me. I'm at the grocery store and
0:53
I'm wearing a Darth Vader helmet, so be it. Leave me alone.
0:55
I'm shopping. It would have been perfectly fine four years ago, right now,
1:00
four years ago, in May, it would have been perfectly fine to
1:04
go to the grocery store wearing a Darth Vader helmet. Doesn't matter. As
1:07
long as people don't have to breathe your COVID germs four years ago, and
1:11
that they know they're supposed to mail in their ballots or whatever then or trust
1:15
somebody else to mail in their ballot whatever, it would have been perfectly fine.
1:19
The main thing was be afraid, I mean, be careful, be
1:23
safe. That was the main thing. More than anything else. That was
1:27
the goal. So if I decide to do that, I can do that.
1:32
We're going to get to strange and bizarre news. But first I just
1:34
want to mention because I talked about this yesterday and then like it just made
1:38
it happen. But the President, Joe Biden, finally said something addressing all
1:44
of the chaos on the college campuses around the country. He gave a very
1:49
general and generic answer to these protests, basically saying that you got to support
1:59
free speech, but it can't be lawlessness, can't be violent, it can't
2:02
be lawlessness, and that stuff isn't going to be tolerated. That's I mean,
2:09
it's a very milk toast kind of response to it. I mean,
2:15
there should have been stronger. You know, we've heard from governors saying,
2:20
if you do this, you're going to be expelled, You're going to be
2:23
thrown out of the school. We needed some maybe stronger verbage on that.
2:28
Even if the President just said, look, I'm going to encourage every university
2:31
to expel students that are doing this. We're not going to tolerate it,
2:36
not at all, or at the very least, you could say, hey,
2:38
I know i'm promising, you know, buying your vote by saying I'm
2:42
going to cancel student loans. But if you're caught doing this, I'm only
2:46
going to cancel half your student loan because I still want your vote. I
2:50
just maybe he could have done that, you know, And let's be honest,
2:53
that's why it took him so long, nine, ten days, whatever
2:55
it was, to get around to actually addressing it. I guess my question,
3:00
and I know it's the question of many common sense Americans Following this theme
3:05
for the week is where was this kind of verbage four years ago? Where's
3:10
it been from everyone on the left. We're not going to tolerate hate.
3:15
He did. The President, by the way, did say that we're not
3:19
going to take tolerate discrimination against anybody. We're not going to tolerate discrimination against
3:25
Jewish people. Or Muslims. There was no reference to Christians in there.
3:32
I noticed that that was absent. So I don't know if that means that's
3:36
fair game or he just assumes that people wouldn't do that, because I mean,
3:39
nobody would ever do such things, would they? And then where was
3:45
this talk about not tolerating violence with these protests, the peaceful protests from four
3:51
years ago. They were not peaceful. They got very violent very quickly.
3:54
They got nasty, as Andy Griffith would say, they got n nasty.
4:01
So I don't know, I don't know where all that was. I mean,
4:03
we know where it was. It's about weighing political advantages. When you
4:09
take COVID and you weigh the political advantages of how it should be handled across
4:15
the country. I think you're willing to look for the advantages and everything.
4:17
And again, this is not a party that can afford to lose any votes,
4:25
not many, if any at all. I should say when it comes
4:28
to November, they're very concerned and they definitely do not want to upset these
4:34
kids on these college campuses, some of them voting for the very first time.
4:39
I would guess most of them, the ones that are actual students I'm
4:41
not talking about the people being bussed in the artists formerly known as Antifa that
4:46
are showing up and hijacking it and saying this is about climate change and this
4:50
is about the Earth or whatever they're protesting. I don't know. The main
4:56
thing that we need to know is that he's finally said something, even if
5:00
he didn't really say anything, and he didn't really address why he didn't say
5:02
something in the past, which is concerning to me because I think that maybe
5:08
we should address the fact that we've been encouraging this behavior and that now that
5:13
it's about something that's really dangerous and it's about, you know, death to
5:16
the Jews, which I can't believe there's any body, any administrator, any
5:25
professor at any school in this United States of America that's just letting that be
5:31
said and acting like it's no big deal. But that's where I guess they're
5:35
drawing the line. So if this was, you know, in the streets
5:41
and setting cars on fire and buildings and destroying businesses and families and lives four
5:47
years ago, it was tolerated, but we're not tolerating it now. We're
5:51
not going to tolerate it now, and we shouldn't. We shouldn't have tolerated
5:55
then, we shouldn't tolerate it now. There shouldn't have been racism actively practiced
6:00
four years ago. There shouldn't be racism being actively practiced, or any sort
6:04
of discrimination being practiced now in twenty twenty four. Shouldn't be And the President
6:11
should address all of that with one speech, But he just kind of touched
6:16
on it and ran away because he doesn't answer questions. All right, strange
6:19
and bizarre news from around the world. Let's start in Abilene, Texas this
6:26
week, after a mother was arrested for sending her son to school stinky.
6:35
You know, there's always every school had a kid that maybe just smelled a
6:42
little funky, needed to have that conversation with a teacher. He usually got
6:46
taken care of. Good teachers pay attention to that stuff and talk to the
6:48
parents. Well, this was a student that stunk. I guess for different
6:57
reasons. It's not the same old. Hey the kid stinks, Hey,
7:01
the kid's got bo Hey, the kid hasn't taken a bath in a while.
7:05
They noticed that something didn't smell right about him, so staff trying to
7:10
identify it, called Child Protective Services officers smelled the boy and suspected, ah,
7:15
maybe it's meth. They paid a visit to his mother, a VC
7:20
Carpenter, and detected the same smell on her. They were both tested and
7:25
the results indeed came back positive for meth amphetamines. During police questioning, Carpenter
7:32
admitted that she exposed her son to meth in her car as she transported him
7:36
to school, and that she also uses meth in the home. She was
7:41
placed under arrest and charged with child endangerments. Terrible story and an interesting way
7:48
that the bust happened. I mean, the kid comes to school smelling like
7:54
meth. Ah. You know the acronym yolo. You've heard that right now,
8:00
And some people live that. Man, you only live once, and
8:03
that's what they want to do. And it may pertain to, you know,
8:07
trying to do something you've never done. Maybe you want a bungee jump
8:09
or skydive or whatever. Most people probably don't use it to say you only
8:16
live once. Time to drive a stolen truck filled with drugs and farm animals.
8:22
I mean, if that's on your bucket list, I guess this is
8:26
a Yolo County, California, which just makes the story better, doesn't it.
8:33
Police stopped a pickup truck they suspect it was stolen, and that was
8:37
all that they suspected. They did not think they were going to eventually find
8:43
the truck was stolen from Seattle. And they found out, yes, the
8:48
truck stolen. They searched it. It was covered in seventy grams of methamphetamine,
8:54
hundreds of counterfeit pills, and two goats three also on board. Police
9:01
aren't sure yet where the animals came from. The Sheriff's office said they were
9:07
safely turned over to animal services. The driver of the truck, who was
9:09
from Seattle, was arrested, charged with possession of narcotics with the intention to
9:15
sell and possession of a stolen vehicle. I guess there's no charges for those
9:18
animals. I don't know. How do they not care about the animals?
9:22
Seems like that should be included somewhere, And where did the animals come from?
9:28
We always eventually end up in Florida, don't we. A car thief
9:30
in Florida stole a man's sports car right out of his driveway and later showed
9:37
that he's not totally without morals. Larry Carter Junior says someone stole his twenty
9:41
twenty three Dodge Charger overnight. The car was his most prized possession, and
9:46
he turned it into a little bit of a moving tribute to his late mother,
9:50
with her name emblazoned on the car and even an urn of her ashes
9:54
in the cup holder. And you can imagine he was pretty upset someone stole
10:01
the car as well as his mom's ashes. Later the day, though,
10:07
Larry noticed something in his mailbox and found the thief had returned the ashes.
10:13
The car wasn't returned, just the ashes. I guess the thief realized what
10:16
they were felt bad about it. Larry still has hopes the car will eventually
10:22
be returned, but he's happy to at least have his mother's ashes back.
10:26
I mean, at least this particular thief has a heart, you know,
10:33
I mean the morals, not stealing the car. That would be the way
10:37
to go. But in this case, at least he did the right thing
10:41
with the ashes. A Spirit Airlines flight going out of Atlanta headed to Newark,
10:46
New Jersey, was going well until right before landing, a mystery liquid
10:52
started flowing through the aisle. Passengers were left puzzled and a little disgusted when
10:56
liquid started flowing from the rear of the plane to the front, raising concerns
11:01
that it might be, you know, coming from the bathroom. And that's
11:07
I guess happened on some other flights. You ever flowing Spirit, I have,
11:13
I haven't seen Europe on the floor, though videos taken on board show
11:16
passengers picking up their bags and lifting their feet to avoid the flow. A
11:18
Spirit spokesperson later confirmed that the lavatory was in fact the source of the flood,
11:24
but added that it was clean, potable water, not sewage. That's
11:28
what they would say, isn't it. The issue was fixed in time for
11:33
the plane's next flight. I actually flew Spirit to Chicago to and from It
11:39
wasn't that bad. I know they've got a reputation now. There wasn't you
11:43
know, toilet water flowing through the plane when I was on it. But
11:46
next time your toddler screams in the middle of the night and claims there's a
11:50
monster in their room, maybe you shouldn't automatically dismiss it as a figment of
11:54
their imagination. Ashley Masis Class and her husband did everything they could to assure
12:00
their daughter there were no monsters in a room. They searched under the bed
12:03
in her closet, showing her there were no monsters. We've all been there
12:07
right. Turns out they should have looked behind the walls, because, as
12:13
they later discovered, there were fifty thousand honey bees living in an enormous hive
12:18
with honey dripping all over the place. Their first clue was the presence of
12:24
a few bees in the house, which prompted them to call an exterminator,
12:26
who believed they came in through a small hole, but the problem persisted.
12:31
More bees were found, so they called in a bee keeper who suggested removing
12:35
part of the wall in the mother I'm sorry, in the daughter's bedroom,
12:39
and that's when they were shocked to find a huge hive and thousands of bees
12:45
flying out of the wall. It took the beekeeper days to remove all the
12:50
bees and a one hundred pound chunk of honeycomb. Ashley says, there's a
12:54
lot more work to be done in the house, which could take months and
12:58
an estimated cost of a twenty thousand dollars. And the bees, you know,
13:05
have been removed, so that's good. It's be free now and monster
13:09
free. And I don't know how big it was, one hundred pound chunk
13:13
of honeycomb. They can't get twenty grand for that? I mean, that
13:16
would be the best ending to the story possible, wouldn't it If they could
13:20
get twenty grand to fix things up for a giant hunk of honeycomb, that'd
13:26
be nice. A Colorado man claiming to be a sovereign citizen may also be
13:31
a wizard because he turned two traffic tickets into a twelve year prison sentence.
13:37
Brett Andrew Nelson has been busy with legal problems for the past two years.
13:41
He's received a couple of traffic tickets and had some other issues in family court,
13:46
but he refused to pay any fines because he doesn't believe he has to
13:50
obey any authority. In fact, he believes the government is infringing on his
13:56
rights as a sovereign citizen, so he has flooded the courts with dozens of
14:00
frivolous lawsuits against government agencies, police officers, judges, authorities, attorneys,
14:05
other individuals. He was so persistent that the FBI had to get involved and
14:11
called his campaign of threats and harassment paper terrorism. Nelson was ultimately charged and
14:18
convicted of extortion, forgery, and threatening judges. He was sentenced to twelve
14:22
years in prison. By the way, you may have seen these videos that
14:26
promise you how to be a sovereign citizen and how you don't have to obey
14:31
the laws, and anytime you see those and you start going, hey,
14:35
what is this sovereign citizen stuff, just keep the story of Brett Andrew Nelson
14:39
in mind whenever you start trying to follow down that path. Today's show brought
14:45
to you by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating
14:52
the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages.
14:58
I mean, they do it for school age kids as school age kids
15:03
visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through their
15:05
university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers
15:13
in space and STEM fields are booming right now, and you can learn more
15:18
about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
15:26
also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration
15:31
that they do with the Schwob School of Music from Columbus State University called Music
15:35
under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
15:41
It's one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
15:45
you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
15:48
this is a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium
15:56
at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music under the
16:00
Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check out when
16:06
the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can get outside. Sometimes you
16:10
do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside
16:15
the city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you can do
16:18
that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot
16:23
org. As Sean Crusan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just
16:29
remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org.
16:36
Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of your
16:40
garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
16:47
time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that
16:52
move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
16:56
care of squaring that away for you, and while they're they you can always
17:00
ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
17:04
your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to
17:08
be and you need some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you
17:12
need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your
17:17
garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've
17:22
got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
17:27
Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add a screen door
17:30
to your garage door system that you can put down and you can use your
17:34
garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you
17:40
like to work on your own cars in there, or maybe you just want
17:42
a little man cavid. You'd like to be able to open the door up
17:45
and not invite all the insects in they can do that for you as well,
17:49
and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
17:52
of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
17:57
you need somebody to come help, and they do those as well. Seven
18:02
oh sixty five eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five
18:06
hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break
18:19
Well, Sunday is Sinco Demayo and Applebee's is bringing back it's dollar rita.
18:26
One dollar margarita will be available. I guess through the whole month when you're
18:30
dining in at Applebee's, if you really want to splurge, you can add
18:37
an extra fifty cents and get flavors like strawberry or mango. So if you
18:41
want a dollar fifty mango dollar rita, you can do that at Applebee's.
18:48
You know you can do it on Sunday if you want to, or anytime
18:52
throughout the month. Celebrate Sinco tomorrow. They're not paying me for this,
18:56
I'm just passing along the info. I is your face reveal your political party
19:03
preference? According to a new study from Stanford. It does seems that AI
19:08
can predict your political leanings from just a simple, expressionless photo. What are
19:15
the giveaways, you ask? According to researchers, it has to do with
19:18
the size and shape of certain facial features, mainly in the lower part of
19:22
the face. For example, conservatives tend to have wider jaws and larger chins
19:27
compared to liberals. The thing is that these slight differences wouldn't be picked up
19:33
by the human eye, but are enough for AI to detect a pattern.
19:37
Scary part is if AI can pick up on our political preferences, what else
19:41
can it tell from looking at our faces? I kind of disagree with this
19:47
thing that human eyes can't pick it up. I think most people I can
19:52
look at them and I can tell you how they vote. Not all the
19:55
time. There's just certain things that I can see, and no, I'm
19:59
not going to tell you what they all are, but some of them I
20:03
don't know that I've picked up on this particular thing. But some people just
20:06
have a look about them, you know. Sometimes there's that maybe it's just
20:11
a hunch, I don't know, maybe it's something deep down inside. But
20:15
I can usually look at somebody and just kind of go. I got a
20:18
pretty good idea how they vote. I met someone the other day and I'm
20:21
like, I already know how they vote. I know which ballot they get
20:25
when they're doing the primaries. I already know. It's pretty clear to me.
20:30
Well, they say, if you have a clean home, you have
20:32
a happy life. We work hard. Some work hard to make sure their
20:36
homes look nice. So it's nice when you get a compliment about it.
20:41
And they say, what's the best compliment you can get about your home,
20:45
according to a new survey, is when people say your house looks clean.
20:48
It's a nice compliment. Anytime someone says your house looks clean. Other things
20:52
people like to hear about their home that it smells good, that the space
20:57
has a good vibe, and not just about the compliments. Ninety percent of
21:03
those who responded said that it nothing feels as good as just relaxing inside their
21:10
clean home. So, you know, clean it up and then relax.
21:15
That's what Some people just want to relax first. They don't even care if
21:18
it's clean or dirty. They just they're focused on getting to the relax part.
21:25
That's all they want. If you get bored at work, they say
21:29
you should do some jumping jacks. Researchers at Ohio State University found that short
21:33
exercise breaks during long lectures were beneficial. Oh this will be at school too.
21:40
Beneficial to both students and professors when it came to being focused and energized.
21:45
According to study author and psychology professor Scott Hayes, nobody can stay on
21:51
task for eighty minutes straight without their mind wandering and their attention waxing and waning.
21:56
If you give students a break and their bodies get moving for just a
22:00
few minutes, it can help them get their minds back to the lecture and
22:04
probably be more productive. I know it helps me as well, So think
22:07
about this as productivity at work or if you're a student in school, whatever
22:12
your situation is. Just getting up and moving around be good for your help
22:18
anyway, But it makes sense that it would be beneficial for keeping you focused.
22:23
If you want a pair of jeans that makes it look like you've urinated
22:29
in them, and who wouldn't want one, you're in luck. The stained
22:33
Stonewashed Genes by Jordan Luca feature a dark stain in the groin crotch region kind
22:41
of looks like someone peed their pants. And here's the great part. They
22:45
only cost six hundred and ten dollars and the light colored gene version has already
22:52
sold out, So you got to get the dark version, you know,
22:56
and you got to be ready to say, if pee and your pants cool,
23:00
consider me, Miles Davis. You know you've heard the expression an apple
23:06
a day keeps the doctor away. Studies have found that eating apples regularly can
23:10
reduce your risk of lung cancer, heart disease, type two diabetes. The
23:15
flavonoids on the apple skin also help the body fight all viruses, inflammation.
23:21
High levels of pectin vitamin C helps lower cholesterol, fiber, antioxidants. And
23:26
they say apples actually do better than any other fruit, all fruits and vegetables,
23:32
or so they're no better than other fruit. All fruits and vegetables loaded
23:34
with the same nutrients stuff keep you healthy. This is similar to another study
23:38
we had not too long ago. This is just doubling down on eating fruit,
23:42
eating vegetables. You know. Smoothies. It's the time of year where
23:48
you can work those smoothies in. Get you some good fruit smoothies going.
23:52
They're popular in the Carol house. Once it gets hot and it's gotten hot.
23:55
All of a sudden, it's gotten hot. That'll do it for this
23:59
