Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:08
Friday morning, fifth day of July. I'm Wes. Thanks for joining me.
0:14
Hope you had a good Independence Day yesterday. I don't care if you
0:19
call it fourth of July. That's okay. I know some people get really
0:22
been out of shape about it. You can stop with the fireworks though,
0:26
I mean really, right at dark last night should have been the end of
0:30
it. You didn't need to go until midnight. It's not you know,
0:35
happy New Year. This is hey, it's dark. Shoot some fireworks if
0:39
you're going to do it, and then let's all go to bed. But
0:42
I hope that you were able to celebrate a little bit safely. And if
0:45
you did fireworks, you know, I hope you made sure that your pets
0:49
were okay, kept them inside. That's all complicated. I feel like we
0:54
do these things with you know, Halloween, and we say trig or treating
0:59
is going to start it and it's gonna end at eight thirty or whatever,
1:03
and those are the times we have the announcement. Those are the times that's
1:06
when you have to deal with it, and then you do it and then
1:08
that's it. And then it's over. And if we had something similar when
1:12
it came to the fireworks, you know, you got from like you know,
1:15
seven until nine or whatever, ten whatever, the window is seven to
1:22
ten, that's your window. People know how to take their pets outside at
1:26
six thirty, and then they know that at you know, ten o'clock whatever,
1:30
then they can take the pets out again if they need to. They
1:34
have that window. They know this is when you need to keep the pets
1:37
put away. What do I know? I just offer up these suggestions to
1:41
problems that apparently not everybody thinks is a problem. But for me, I
1:45
just want to know that I know when I can take my dog out and
1:48
then let him do what he needs to do, and he's not going to
1:49
be scared to death because as soon as that first one pops, he doesn't
1:53
want anything to do with going outside for the rest of the night, and
1:56
that complicates things. I just need my window, I know. I need
1:59
to know when I can take him out and then that's it. But anyway,
2:01
and there's no need to fire any off today. If people will be
2:05
doing it tonight, brace yourself. They'll be firing them off tonight and tomorrow
2:08
and all through the weekend because they still have them. That's why. There's
2:14
no other reason other than that they still have them. That's it, all
2:19
right, Let's get into some strange and bizarre news from around the world,
2:23
and we're gonna get it's a little toilet humor starting off. I'm just warning
2:30
you, and that's I don't you know the stories are, what the stories
2:32
are. We got a couple of gross ones. They involve sewage type things.
2:38
It's a little scatological this morning. Bear with me, all right.
2:42
Let's start in Connecticut. Uh And Badard heard a loud bang outside her Connecticut
2:50
home. Went outside to investigate. She saw that a large manure truck overturn
2:54
and crashed into her neighbor's car. The entire stinky load was dumped and sprayed
3:00
all over her yard or neighbor's yard, all over both of their homes.
3:02
She said it was like a waterfall of brown. She said they could see
3:07
sewage coming out of the truck. I guess gasoline as well coming out of
3:12
the top. She said. It just flooded down on the property. Cleaning
3:15
crew arrived a couple days later to remove the mess, and or maybe a
3:21
day later and to dig up a few inches of the soil on the property
3:24
in case any hazardous materials seeped into the ground. The cause of the truck
3:29
crash I was under investigation. Drivers sustaining minor injuries. That's one. Now
3:36
here's this one. And you know, the homeowner's associations. People often have
3:43
horror stories. Some people like them, not many, it seems. I
3:46
don't know. I think the people who like them don't speak up. I
3:49
think that's the problem. So if you've had some problems with homeowner associations in
3:53
the past, probably haven't had this problem, at least I hope not.
3:58
A homeowner Indiana was mowing his lawn and noticed a pile of human waste on
4:03
the side of his house, next to his air conditioner unit. It was
4:08
the second time something like this had happened, so he reviewed his security camera
4:12
footage from the side of the house and saw an elderly woman walk up to
4:16
his house, pull down her pants do her business. The homeowner turned the
4:23
video evidence over to the police and they identified the seventy four year old neighbor,
4:30
who happens to be on the HOA board. The woman at first denied
4:34
the accusation, but then changed her tune. Once she was shown the video,
4:38
she claimed that she had no problem with the homeowner, She just simply
4:41
had to go to the bathroom. But the homeowner disagreed and said that he
4:45
has an ongoing dispute with the HOA and that the woman's act was targeted and
4:49
deliberate. She has since stepped down from the board and has been charged with
4:55
criminal trespass, criminal mischief and public nudity. So there's that, and uh,
5:03
all right, we got at least one warrant here. Methane gas from
5:10
farm animals as a highly significant contributor to greenhouse gases according to experts, and
5:18
soon farmers in Denmark will have to pay more in taxes for the cow farts
5:24
and pig farts. That's exhausting, isn't it. The government has passed a
5:31
new carbon tax bill that would hold farmers accountable for their animals emissions. The
5:36
aim is to curb methane and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by seventy percent over the
5:41
next several years. Starting in twenty thirty, farmers will be taxed about forty
5:45
three dollars per ton of carbon dioxide. The amount will go up to one
5:49
hundred eight dollars by twenty thirty five. Denmark hopes to be a leader in
5:54
fighting climate change and expects other countries to follow them and pass similar tax laws.
5:59
New Zealand And as previously passed an agriculture emissions tax that was supposed to
6:03
take effect next year, but it has since been scrapped and receiving a ton
6:08
of criticism from farmers. I know, typically when we talk on the show
6:14
and do the strange and bizarre news, we don't get too heavy. But
6:16
just a reminder, this is why the electoral college matters. It's why we're
6:23
not a true down the line democracy concerning votes for things like president. We
6:29
have a different system in place so that our farmers do get some sort of
6:33
extra representation in states that don't have as much population. And that's why it's
6:40
important, because this kind of stuff could happen here if those farmers didn't continue
6:46
to get some sort of representation. All right, back off the soapbox.
6:48
It's Friday, it's silly, it's supposed to be, you know, fart
6:53
and poop stories. At least today, that's the last one. We'll move
6:56
on to something else. Now. Convenience store in Missouri was raw of about
7:00
twenty four thousand dollars worth of scratch off lottery games, and it was an
7:03
inside job. Thirty four year old Kelsey Lenna Schnetzler, was the manager of
7:11
the store, would routinely place a cup over the store's surveillance camera and unlock
7:15
the safe where books of lottery tickets were kept. She did this over the
7:18
course of about five months, and even cashed some of the winning tickets at
7:23
the same store. Schnetzler fest up to the crime in a written statement provided
7:28
to police. She'll appear in court this month, So I mean you're gonna
7:33
get caught on that one. I mean cashing in and in the same store
7:39
cashing the man, You're gonna get caught. An Oklahoma man has been sentenced
7:44
to nine years in prison for using a fake Amazon van as a drug mule.
7:47
Forty three year old Brandon Yee was convicted of using the van with the
7:51
emblazoned logo of the Amazon company and emblazoned with that I guess I pick up
8:00
packages of marijuana from licensed cannabis growing facilities across Oklahoma and then transporting them out
8:05
of state to sell. Investigators say he moved and estimated twenty eight tons of
8:11
weed over the years before finally getting arrested. He was convicted of possessing marijuana
8:16
with the intent to distribute and possessing a firearm while distributing the drug. It's
8:22
clever, get some points for clever. A bank in Florida needs to rethink
8:28
its open door policy. A Wells Fargo location accidentally left its front door open
8:35
after business hours and attempted, which tempted a man to walk in and rob
8:41
the place. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't able to get anything other than
8:43
a trip to jail. Thirty three year old Colton van Henheinsteen something like that.
8:52
Heinstein maybe noticed the open door and got the idea to go in,
8:56
but before he did, he thought he could run across the street to a
8:58
convenience store or buy a mask so when no one would recognize him on a
9:03
security camera. The bank's cameras did capture a video of him walking around the
9:07
bank and looking through the drawers for cash. Couldn't find any. The money's
9:13
all locked up at night, especially when you leave the door open, so
9:16
he left figured that he was in the clear. However, the convenience store
9:20
across the street had surveillance cameras that night and caught a good look of his
9:24
face when he came in to buy the mask. Police were able to identify
9:28
and arrest him for burglary, even though he didn't take anything. The bigger
9:33
question is maybe wanted the bank leave the door open. I mean, that
9:37
doesn't seem good at all. Somebody shouldn't be fired. And I'm not typically
9:43
an advocate for it is fire somebody, but that sounds like a fireable offence.
9:48
Police in Indiana rushed to a skate park over the weekend to rescue someone
9:54
not from a skate injury, but from a sewer as police and first responders
10:01
in Evansville were called a Sunset skate park where they were told a woman had
10:05
gotten into the sewer and was wandering around underground. Not clear how she got
10:11
in the sewer, but she was unable to get back out of the sewer,
10:15
so rescuers had to lift a sewer gate in the street and lower rope
10:18
to pull her out. Police say she was not injured in the ordeal,
10:22
but they do have some questions, and I think they should certainly have some
10:30
questions. I mean, why, maybe that's the question, not so much
10:33
how but why why did she end up in the sewer? If a fortune
10:39
teller in Florida predicts that you're going to be held up and robbed at gunpoint,
10:43
maybe you should believe her. A homeowner in Tampa was visited by a
10:48
woman who identified herself as a fortune teller and asked to come inside. For
10:54
some reason, the homeowner obliged, and that's when the fortune teller pulled out
10:58
a gun and pressed it against the woman's She ordered to give her some money
11:01
and followed her to the bedroom to get her purse. Police say she took
11:05
twelve thousand dollars and then left the house. A neighbor's surveillance camera caught video
11:09
of the fortune teller driving away in a white s uv and police were eventually
11:13
able to get a positive id on the woman. Fifty two year old Corolla
11:18
Mitchell was arrested in charge with robbery, kidnapping with a firearm. Police say
11:24
she used her fortune telling services as a rust to gain entry into victims' homes,
11:31
and there were likely some other victims. Probably not, this wasn't the
11:35
first one. I mean, that wouldn't seem like it seems like this was
11:39
kind of or just well fought out. Maybe I don't know. Florida man
11:43
was arrested for trying to shoot down a Walmart delivery drone, which he believed
11:48
was a reconnaissance mission to spy on him. Seventy two year old Dennis Win
11:56
a little paranoid. It's an understatement, or maybe he has something. Either
12:00
way, he was outside working on his pool when he noticed a high tech
12:03
drone flying about seventy five feet in the air near his house. Turns out
12:07
that was descending to drop off a Walmart package nearby. He didn't know that,
12:11
though, he grabbed a nine millimeter handgun and fired a shot at it.
12:16
The bullet struck the drone's payload, and the operator quickly flew it back
12:20
to the store. Two people on the ground who were getting ready to receive
12:24
the package also got out of the way after hearing the gun shot. Police
12:28
were I had notified, and a deputy visited went at his house and asked
12:33
him if he had shot at the drone. When Fest up and said he
12:35
believed the drone was spying on him, he was arrested in charge with criminal
12:39
mischief and discharging a firearm in public. A twenty nine year old Florida man
12:46
tried to steal a car from a senior citizen, but he clearly messed with
12:50
the wrong sixty six year old deputies responded to a call at five am and
12:56
found Blake Robinson lying on the ground bleeding from his mouth. A sixty six
13:01
year old man told police that Robinson tried to break into his truck and ultimately
13:05
came out of the losing On the losing end of the beating, the man
13:11
said it all started when he heard a noise outside his home and thought something
13:16
had fallen on his camper. When he went outside to check, he saw
13:20
Robinson lying trying to open his truck's doors, and he went back inside to
13:24
call nine one one couldn't find his phone, so we were turned outside and
13:28
confronted Robinson. He's quickly turned violent. Robinson started throwing punches, but the
13:33
older man fought back, stood his ground, and eventually dropped Robinson, leaving
13:39
him bloodied and bruised. Cops arrested and charged him with felony battery and attempted
13:46
burglary. Sometimes you just gotta walk away, and if there's a moment,
13:54
I don't know, maybe you start fighting. This guy in his sixty and
14:00
you think I can take this guy. But at some point this fight had
14:03
to turn in a way that this guy had to think I'm not gonna be
14:09
able to beat this guy. That's the point where you check out. That's
14:11
the point where you get out of dodge. That's the point where you say,
14:13
you know what, this is not my day, this is not my
14:16
fight. I'm out. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca
14:20
Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and
14:28
STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean they do it for
14:33
school age kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center,
14:37
but they also do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering,
14:43
astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming right
14:50
now. And you can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website
14:56
CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming
15:01
programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the schwob School of
15:07
Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert
15:13
experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when
15:16
you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in
15:20
Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
15:26
right here in Columbus. Inside the Planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center
15:31
and the new season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for
15:37
the shows, and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
15:41
Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space Science
15:46
Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want
15:50
any light interference, and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night
15:54
events Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin says
16:00
Carlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you that it stands for
16:04
Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
16:11
Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial
16:15
or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always
16:22
good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
16:27
The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away
16:32
for you, and while they're there, you can always ask them questions about
16:36
some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
16:40
Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and you need
16:44
some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new
16:48
garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door opens and
16:52
closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got with colder or
16:56
warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
17:02
at a situation where you'd like to add a screen door to your garage door
17:06
system that you can put down and you can use your garage space as a
17:11
sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to work on
17:14
your own cars in there, or maybe you just want a little man cavid
17:18
you'd like to be able to open the door up and not invite all the
17:21
insects in. They can do that for you as well, and again they
17:23
do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
17:27
trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
17:32
come help. And they do those as well. Seven oh six thy five
17:37
eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred o dccolumbus
17:42
dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break, the European
17:55
Space Agency has been working on ways to make a launch pads and shelters for
18:00
astronauts eventually when we have people on the Moon again, especially ones that might
18:06
be their more long term and one of the big ideas has been to create
18:11
Lego bricks out of meteorite dust. The space bricks that they built will be
18:17
on display soon at a Lego store in London, with the goal of showing
18:21
young builders of tomorrow how Lego brick building can help solve world problems and you
18:27
know, satellite moon problems. You know, that's also part of it as
18:33
well. It's pretty good stuff. I've always thought Lego is one of those,
18:37
you know, gateways and to stem and those sorts of things. Robotics
18:41
is certainly big now, coding and all those sorts of things but Lego's still
18:45
holding its own I like it. According to a new study, your passwords
18:51
probably stink. They say that some eight character passwords can be cracked in as
18:56
fast as seventeen seconds using algorithm of them's often used by hackers. The hackers
19:02
can guess forty five percent of passwords within a minute, fifty nine percent within
19:07
an hour, seventy three percent within a month, and only twenty three percent
19:11
of passwords are so good that it would take longer than a year for them
19:15
to crack them. Uh so, I guess password one two three, I
19:18
should probably change it. I guess that one would probably fall pretty quickly the
19:25
old one two three four five. That's probably not a good one either,
19:30
So there you go. Hey. Dylan McDonald, a self described avid beer
19:34
brewer, recently used yeast from an ancient pottery to recreate an authentic ancient Egyptian
19:41
beer recipe from three thousand years ago. McDonald said that brewing such a drink
19:48
allowed him to taste history and become connected to that area, and he described
19:52
the taste as tangy with a hint of citrus. He basically says it's like
19:57
a sour but no hop flavor. Whatsoever. That's pretty cool. It's like
20:03
a time machine in its own way, isn't it. According to merchandise sold
20:11
in the last year, the top ten NFL players according to basically jersey sales,
20:18
T shirts, Decal's bibbleheads, those sorts of things. A couple of
20:22
these are gonna not be a big surprise, but I think one in two.
20:26
I mean it makes some sense, but it's a little bit of a
20:29
surprise to me. I would have thought maybe some of these others might be
20:33
higher. However, maybe they've already got their merch if they wanted. But
20:41
anyway, Jalen Hurts at the top of the list, and Jason Kelsey is
20:45
number two. See I would if you told me it was Travis Kelcey and
20:48
you had all the swifties that were buying the Travis Kelcey jerseys, I would
20:52
think maybe. But Travis Kelcey doesn't come inuntil number four. Patrick Mahomes is
20:56
three, Christian McCaffrey is five. I would have thought Aaron Rodgers, he's
21:00
at six, but you know, all the jet stuff, you would have
21:03
thought that might have been a bigger push to bump him up. Hire Joe
21:07
Burrow, brock perty Micah Parsons and Justin Jefferson around out the top ten.
21:14
Are you like me? Are you surprised? I definitely thought that would be
21:18
a little different, all right, couple of I guess nerdier type things.
21:22
First up, the Super Mario Brothers movie was a huge hit last year and
21:26
I earned over a billion dollars one point three billion from the theatrical release.
21:32
So, of course, the sequel Super Mario Brothers Movie two will be released
21:38
now in April of twenty twenty six, so little time before that comes out,
21:44
But it takes a while when they do these animated movies. I liked
21:48
the Super Mario Brothers movie. I thought it was a little refreshing compared to
21:53
some of the other things that get made. I didn't feel that there was
21:56
any agenda. I didn't feel like the mess was anything other than the basic
22:00
message and story of the games. They did tie in some different things as
22:07
far as giving it more of a plot in things, but it wasn't you
22:11
know, there was no activism that was glaringly apparent. If there was anything
22:15
in the background. I didn't notice it. My family didn't notice it.
22:18
We just went for a good time at the movies. And that's what we
22:22
got. So mark me as looking forward to the sequel, and my boys
22:26
are were a Nintendo family. We have a PlayStation five. We're more likely
22:32
to play either our Switch or our we the kids are, so we're definite
22:38
Mario family for sure, all right. And then another kind of nerdy thing
22:42
relates to gaming. So some gaming pieces carved from Antler were found underneath an
22:52
old castle in Germany, recently believed to be more than a thousand years old.
22:57
The discovery included some flower shape gaming pieces, a six sided die you
23:03
may not know this about me, a collect dice. I've got a huge
23:07
collection of dice, so this is hitting like all my nerd spots, and
23:11
then a night chess piece. Researchers studying the stuff were most impressed with the
23:17
night chess piece, as they could tell it had a smooth upper half from
23:22
the fingers picking it up thousands of times to play the game all the way
23:26
back in the eleventh or twelfth century. That's pretty good stuff. I like
23:32
it. I like the idea that these are game and I think it's great
23:34
that you got the night piece I guess made out of Antler. That's pretty
23:38
cool. I mean all the pieces that they found, I guess were but
23:42
I think that's pretty good stuff. All right. That'll do it for this
23:45
Friday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and our Patronspatreon dot com,
