Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:08
Friday morning, seventeenth day of May. I'm Wes, thanks for joining me.
0:14
It is Friday, and I told you back on Monday when everybody was
0:20
it was the thirteenth of Monday the thirteenth. I told you that's way worse.
0:27
Imagine right now if it was Friday the thirteenth, then you'd be saying
0:30
to yourself, I'm scared. But it's Friday. That's where we've come since
0:35
Monday, Monday the thirteenth, much worse. Today's Friday the seventeenth, because
0:41
Monday was the thirteenth, and now here we are enjoying the fact that it's
0:46
Friday the seventeenth. All right, enough about that, Hey it's Friday.
0:51
Let's talk about some weird and I'll say strange and bizarre, but it's some
0:57
weird news stories. And this first one comes out of South Carolina, and
1:02
all I can say is, son, you got a panty on your head?
1:06
A South Carolina man locked up on armed robbery charges after he committed a
1:11
crime basically right from the movie Raising Arizona Police a twenty five year old Corey
1:15
Rahima Felder Junior went to a Dollar General with a gun and demanded diapers.
1:23
He grabbed two packages of diapers and left. The store. Workers gave police
1:26
a description of him, and he was captured about a mile away. He
1:30
told police he only took out his gun because he thought it would make him
1:33
look like he has money. Felder is a convicted felon, so stealing the
1:38
diapers that's not good. You're not supposed to have a firearm if you're a
1:44
felon. So he's charged with armed robbery and unlawfully possessing a gun. No
1:49
word on the panty on the head or not, I don't know. Florida
1:53
man was arrested for illegally bumping dumping tires on private property and then firing a
1:57
rifle at an allegant that tried to stop him. Only in Florida. Police
2:05
became aware of a large pile of tires that was dumped on private property that
2:09
was surrounded by a fence where they clearly placed no trespassing sign. They noticed
2:15
that the gate was open and suspected that the tire dumper was probably planning to
2:20
return to the site. Two weeks later, officers staked out the site and
2:24
watched forty year old Aris Lder Raina Tornez. I feel like that lady reading
2:31
names it graduation entering the pro at Thomas Jefferson University entering the property in his
2:39
mini van while pointing a rifle out the window and firing multiple shots into the
2:44
pond. He then got out of the vehicle continued shooting at the water.
2:46
He eventually stopped firing started unloading tires from the van, and that's when the
2:52
cops swooped in and arrested him. He told officers he was shooting at the
2:54
water because there was an alligator he suspected was going to attack him and thwart
2:58
his efforts to dump the tires. He's charged with littering, possession of an
3:04
open alcohol container, trespassing, no vehicle registration, and no alligator trapping license.
3:09
I think they just dumped that one on there for fun, which I'm
3:12
glad. I think that's a good one to add on there at the end,
3:15
since he said he was shooting at an alligator. Also in Florida,
3:19
a man under arrest in charge with battery after he threw a cheeseburger at a
3:22
police officer while he was handcuffed. Cops and Fort Pierce responded to Ahua Wah
3:29
convenience store, where employees complained about a trespasser who refused to leave the premises.
3:34
They approached seventy three year old Joseph Delancey, who was holding a cheeseburger
3:39
in his hand, and ordered him to leave. He wouldn't move, refused
3:43
to put down the burger. The officer arrested and placed him at handcuffs,
3:46
but he was still holding onto the burger. I didn't know you could do
3:49
that, so he threw it at the officer, hit him in the leg,
3:53
and left burger residue on his pants. Let's talk about what burger residue
3:58
could be catch up usted. Maybe some grease, maybe some cheese, maybe
4:03
even mayonnaise, pisa tomato. I don't know burger residue. Delancey had a
4:12
lengthy wrap sheet and included attempted murder, fraud. Now charged with trespassing,
4:17
battery, and burger residue. I don't think that's a real charge, but
4:23
I think it should be frequent shoper at a target location in San Francisco looking
4:29
at some serious jail time. Now a to you've found guilty of using self
4:31
checkout lanes to steal more than sixty thousand dollars worth of items. Did I
4:39
say he? It's a she. Forty year old Aziza Graves visited the store
4:44
one hundred and twenty times in just over a year, each time managing to
4:46
leave with something she didn't pay for. Prosecutor said that she would scan a
4:51
full card of items and insert a single coin or a bill into the machine
4:56
before leaving the store with the merchandise. She would then sell the stolen goods
5:00
outside the city's civic center. Graves was convicted of felony grand theft fifty two
5:05
counts of petty theft. Her sentencing scheduled for next week, and she could
5:12
get up three years in prison. So sixty thousand dollars that's mighty ambitious.
5:19
It's mighty You see the stories of people that like take a TV and just
5:24
walk out the door. I mean that's ambitious. Stealing sixty thousand dollars worth
5:29
of stuff is really ambitious. All right, let's jump to Iowa. We
5:32
do. We'll spend a lot of time in Florida, a lot of time,
5:38
A lot of time in Florida. In this case, we'll jump to
5:40
Iowa. A man was pulled over a suspected drunk driving and shock police by
5:45
being able to squeeze his eight foot tall body into a Ford focus. That's
5:49
a tall man, police said. They spotted thirty three year old Joel Soloronzo
5:56
Vedea Villa Valeda with that. That really sounds like the graduation lady who was
6:03
driving erradically. They pulled him over. Despite the stop, they noticed that
6:08
he showed signs of intoxication and had an open beer can in the car.
6:13
He was also in possession of methamphetamine. A subsequent breathalyzer test showed that he
6:18
was over the legal limit. When asked for his driver's license, he handed
6:23
police a Minnesota ID that officers immediately suspected was fake because it listed his height
6:28
as eight feet tall. Valeda was not eight feet tall. He was about
6:32
five feet eight inches tall. Solara Solorzano Valeda, probably with a Vieda maybe
6:43
was arrested in charge with narcotics possession while driving, will intoxicated, and possessing
6:47
a false ID. I wonder if it was a mclove and ID that said
6:51
he was eight feet tall Canadian teenager. This is one of those stories that
6:58
it's so bizarre and you just think this can't really have happened, but then
7:03
you kind of know that it could have happened. Canadian teenager tried to redeem
7:08
a McDonald's reward point for a free lunch and it ended up being crazy expensive.
7:16
An eighteen year old a Mason Prima, of Saskatchewan, placed in order
7:21
at the drive through line and slowly rolled up to the window. As he
7:25
pulled up, he looked. He took out his phone, opened the McDonald's
7:29
app to show the reward, and then he noticed there was a motorcycle cop
7:32
knocking on his window. The officer saw him rolling up to the drive through
7:35
window and wrote him a ticket for using his phone while driving. Prima was
7:43
stunned and said, I did think he was just gonna let me go because
7:46
I'm just trying to get a free meal, but no, turns out to
7:50
be a very expensive lunch. I was kind of shocked, to be honest.
7:55
I'd never had that before. I open up my app every time I
7:58
go over to a drive through and I've never had an issue. The ticket
8:05
five hundred and eighty dollars. He has a court appearance scheduled in July and
8:09
he plans to fight the ticket. He should. That's ridiculous in the spirit
8:13
of what the law is about that, ain't it. Also, that's private
8:16
property. I know in the States, you'd go, that's private property.
8:20
I don't even know that they could write a ticket for that in this I
8:22
need to ask someone on the force. Can they even write a ticket for
8:28
that on private property? Because that seems like a strange place, and now
8:31
this is in Canada, seems like a strange place to pull that flex though.
8:37
Colorado woman who was just released from jail for stealing a car went back
8:43
to jail because she immediately got another car that she decided to steal. The
8:48
woman was released from the lock up for stealing a vehicle. The very next
8:52
day, police were called to the scene of a one vehicle accident where a
8:56
pickup truck crashed into a fire hydrant. Off the woman running away from the
9:01
scene and threw her behind bars again. Police say that she found keys inside
9:07
the park truck and attempted to drive it away. When she realized it had
9:09
a manual transmission she didn't know how to drive stick she hopped out of the
9:15
truck and let it roll into the hydrant. Charged with motor vehicle theft.
9:18
Sometimes people just want to go to jail. Sometimes people just seem to be
9:22
obsessed with the idea of going back to Shawshank because they can't make it on
9:28
the outside, man asked Brooks. A North Carolina restaurant has caused a huge
9:35
financial headache for one customer, even though they had good intentions. Ronda Deaver
9:46
aided a Smith's Cafe in Kinston, North Carolina, and accidentally left her credit
9:50
card behind. When she eventually realized it, she returned to the eatery to
9:54
retrieve the card, which the restaurant fortunately held on to. What she did
9:58
not amuse imediately know, though, was that soon after she originally left the
10:03
restaurant, a worker picked up the card tried to find Deaver by posting photos
10:09
of the front and back of the card on a community Facebook page. I
10:15
mean, he was trying to find her, trying to be helpful, but
10:20
putting the card on social media led to a lot of fraudulent charges more than
10:24
two thousand dollars, and she's basically in a dispute with the credit card company.
10:30
It sounds to me like that should be a pretty easy dispute. I
10:35
mean, somebody else put the card number out there, not her, but
10:39
anyway, A cruise ship sailed into New York City with a dead forty four
10:45
foot whale on board. Sort of. The MSc Meraviglia pulled up to the
10:54
dock in Brooklyn with a dead cy whale stuck to the ship's bow. The
11:00
cruise line said, we immediately notified relevant authorities that are now conducting an examination
11:03
of the whale. We are deeply saddened by the loss of any marine life.
11:07
Biologists are conducting necropsy. Is that a I guess, so come into
11:15
conducting a necropsy? Okay, I guess that's an autopsy on a dead animal.
11:20
And that's no word I've never seen before. On the whale to determine
11:22
whether it was killed by the ship or if it was already dead when the
11:26
ship hit it. Early indication is that it was likely killed by the ship
11:30
because it was relatively fresh food inside the whale's stomach side. Whales or an
11:35
endangered species, and cruise ships typically take precautions to avoid them. I'm just
11:41
happy I learned a new word. Neicropsy. Yeah, an autopsy on a
11:48
dead animal. It makes sense. I got it. Okay, Michigan woman
11:54
has been evicted from the home she built for herself behind the rooftop of a
12:00
family Fair supermarket. Police in Midland, Michigan say that there's a ten by
12:05
fifteen foot empty space on the top of the store's roof where the sign's located,
12:11
and that a thirty four year old woman who was not identified managed to
12:13
live there for about a year until contractors working on the roof of the building
12:18
found her and were shocked at how comfortable she was living. The space was
12:22
decked out with flooring, a pantry of food, a mini desk, and
12:26
a printer, clothing, a house plant to give her some air, I
12:31
guess fresh air, some nice oxygen. The workers notified the stor's manager,
12:37
who called police. Officers arrived and were greeted by the woman at the small
12:41
rooftop door, who told them, don't worry, I'm leaving. Officers told
12:46
her that she was trespassing, and she agreed to leave. Police offered her
12:50
information on local housing services and decided she decided not to They decided not to
12:54
formally charge her, and she just left inside the sign on the rooftop.
13:00
Year it's pretty good. She saved a lot of money. She saved a
13:03
lot of rent money, she saved a lot of mortgage money. I mean
13:09
that's a year. Those savings can really add up. A Florida doctor is
13:13
sounding off on the local police because they had the audacity to arrest him for
13:18
pulling a gun on an uber driver. Doctor Sean holland Beck complained that police
13:24
have ruined his reputation after they arrested him last week on charges of false imprisonment
13:30
and aggravated assault with a weapon. According to police, Hollan Beck's thirteen year
13:33
old daughter snuck out of the house one night and took an uber to Pensacola,
13:37
about thirty minutes away from their home in Milton, Florida. When he
13:41
noticed she was gone, he called police. But later on, when his
13:45
daughter returned home and a different uber, holland Beck went out into the street
13:48
pulled a gun on the driver. He then pulled the driver out of the
13:52
car and ordered him to lie down on the road and show him his driver's
13:56
license. He also demanded the driver tell him where he picked up his daughter
14:00
from. Allen Beck called police, and officers arrived on the scene and arrested
14:05
him for threatening the innoson Uber driver. Allen Beck still insists he did nothing
14:09
wrong and argues he was just being a concerned parent. He says he's looking
14:13
forward to his case going to trial because if he gets any parents on the
14:18
jury, they'll all agree with him, at least that's what he thinks.
14:22
Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center,
14:26
Inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really
14:35
of all ages. I mean, they do it for school age kids,
14:39
as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also
14:43
do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
14:50
and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now, and
14:54
you can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website right CCSSC dot
15:01
org. While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming programs.
15:07
They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the schwob School of Music from
15:13
Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that
15:18
you can get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when you're watching
15:22
it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus,
15:26
Georgia. I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens right here
15:31
in Columbus. Inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the
15:37
new season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
15:43
and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you
15:46
can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center.
15:50
Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light
15:54
interference, and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also
15:58
on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan says Charlie Charlie
16:04
SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola
16:10
Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door
16:15
Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
16:22
Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to
16:26
get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
16:33
at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you,
16:37
and while they're there, you can always ask them questions about some of
16:41
the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
16:45
curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and you need some repair
16:48
work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door
16:52
completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
16:57
Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder, warmer
17:02
weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at
17:07
a situation where you'd like to add a screen door to your garage door system
17:11
that you can put down and you can use your garage space as a sort
17:15
of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like to work on your
17:18
own cars in there, or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
17:22
like to be able to open the door up and not invite all the insects
17:25
in. They can do that for you as well, and again they do
17:29
after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
17:33
inside your garage and your garage door won't open and you need somebody to come
17:37
help, And they do those as well. Seven oh six thy five eight
17:41

17:47
dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break, all right,
17:59
we know we've got our options for president. We've got Biden and Trump.
18:06
Part two. This is the third election in a row that it'll be
18:10
Trump. We're seeing where this is all playing out, and that's where this
18:14
is all heading. And it's always one of those conversations that pop out where
18:18
people say, well, maybe Blank will step in and take the nomination for
18:23
one of the parties, Maybe some high profile celebrity will run for president.
18:29
Oprah's name gets brought up all the time. The Rock has been brought up
18:33
many, many years, but neither one of them actually tops the list of
18:40
a new survey that people say which celebrity they would most want to be president
18:45
of the United States, and the Rock actually was in second place. And
18:48
he says he would never do that, or he's got no interest in doing
18:52
that. I don't know it, would never do it, but has no
18:53
interest. Oprah was six on the list. Matthew McConaughey, who after he's
19:00
you know, he's written his book. He started talking a lot, trying
19:03
to make a lot of sense about bridging the gap between Democrats and Republicans.
19:08
Kind of surprised he's at number seven, But here we go, Denzel Washington
19:12
at the top of the list, then The Rock, then Tom Hanks.
19:18
I don't know. I just think of the guy from Bachelor Party. I
19:21
mean, I know Tom Hanks or Forrest Gump. I know he's done a
19:25
lot of great movies. I love Tom Hanks, he's great. Don't need
19:27
to see him as president. Clint Eastwood, he's older than the two guys
19:33
running. He's like twice as old as them. Anything. George Clooney,
19:37
then Oprah, then McConaughey, then Bill Gates, Nope, nope, and
19:42
then they've got Elon Musk on the list. Hate to break it to you,
19:45
he's born in South Africa, so not eligible. And then Mark Cuban
19:51
rounding out the top ten. So I don't know. I don't know that
19:57
i'd vote for any of them. I don't know. I'd have to hear
20:00
what they stood for. That would be the most important thing. What's the
20:03
platform. That's all I want to hear. I mean, based on things
20:07
i've heard them talk about with politics. I've heard Denzel say some good things.
20:11
I've heard McConaughey say some good things. Elon's not eligible. I mean
20:17
that would be, but he's not eligible. He wasn't born here, nor
20:22
were his parents. If you're going to be traveling this summer and you want
20:25
to take your dog, here are some cities that you should should be considering
20:30
because they call them the best dog friendly cities in the country for traveling.
20:36
Portland, Oregon at the top of the list, all right, La Austin,
20:41
Chicago, San Diego, Seattle, and San Francisco rounding out the top
20:47
seven places to take your dog. I'm not planning to go to any of
20:51
those this summer. I do really like taking my I've mentioned that before.
20:53
We really like taking our dog on vacation. It's a vacation for him.
20:59
And as I've said before, if you're gonna pay to bored him or her,
21:03
and then there's a fee or whatever wherever you're staying, it's pet friendly,
21:07
but you have to pay a deposit. It's probably gonna be less than
21:11
what you'd have to pay to bored him, right. I mean it's you're
21:15
gonna come out ahead and you get to spend the vacation with your dog,
21:18
go to a place where you can hike, go outdoors, do some hiking
21:23
around. I think there's some great benefit to all of that in every possible
21:26
way. All right, So questions about coffee all over the years, it's
21:33
always been as coffee good for you? Is it not? They say one
21:37
cup's good, two cups a day good. You know, those are one
21:41
of those surveys that you pick and choose. You cherry pick which ones you
21:44
actually want to listen to. Sometimes they say bacon's bad for you, and
21:48
then sometimes they say it's good for you. I keep the ones that say
21:52
it's good for you and ignore the ones that say it's bad for you.
21:55
Things in moderation, of course. But decaf coffee, some people will say
22:00
that's the way to go. Don't do the extra caffeine, or don't do
22:03
the caffeine. There's gonna be a little caffeine in there. But apparently they
22:07
say that some decaf coffees might be bad for you. Many dcaff coffees contain
22:11
a chemical compound called methylene chloride, which is often used in the process to
22:18
decaffeinate the coffee, but it also happens to be a compound commonly used for
22:22
paint stripping. Heah, you don't need that. Consuming large amounts of it
22:27
could cause a lot of health problems. Health advocacy groups have been urging the
22:32
FDA to ban the use of methylene chloride, and lawmakers in California have even
22:37
proposed to build to ban the use of it in coffee. Sounds like California,
22:41
but health experts say you don't necessarily have to stop drinking DCAF. The
22:45
FDA says that most of the chemical disappears in the decaffeinating process, so the
22:52
amount you would actually get in a cup of coffee is actually very small and
22:56
won't cause you any problems. It's one of those you got to make a
23:00
decision, You got to make a call. It's your call, it's your
23:04
life. This is I think if we did more just let people make their
23:07
call about what they want to eat and drink if they wanted to, Like
23:11
if we had done that with the masks, it would have been much better
23:14
off. Don't you think if everybody just done whatever they thought was best for
23:18
themselves. Including maybe drinking decalf if they want to. Uh, when you're
23:22
on a plane and the flight attendant comes around with a beverage cart, do
23:25
you always ask for the same drink and is it ginger ale. It's one
23:29
of the most popular beverages ordered on airplanes, and there's a scientific reason behind
23:33
it. Researchers have found that our taste buds are altered when we fly due
23:37
to lower pressure in the cabin. That change in pressure changes the oxygen satirization
23:41
in our blood, and our taste receptors become less efficient. That's why meals
23:47
served on planes often need to contain more salt and sugar. Yeah, that's
23:51
wine, and that can't be done for canned beverages. So ginger ale will
23:56
taste less sweet to most people and leave it with a more dry and crisp
24:00
taste that people seem to enjoy more. But that's not the only reason.
24:03
Gingre I'll also is believed to help with upset stomachs and nausea, which is
24:07
why some passengers I think that's why. I think that's why you order it,
24:11
And then maybe when you drink it, you go, wow, this
24:14
tastes a little different, tastes a little better than normal. That's just my
24:17
guess. I think it has something to do with, you know, nausea
24:19
and those sorts of things. That'll do it for this Friday edition of the
24:23
show. Thanks to our sponsors and Patronspatreon dot com, slash Wes Carol.
