Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:06
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:08
Speaker 2: Friday morning, twenty seventh day of March. I'm west thanks
0:12
Speaker 2: for joining me. For many kids in the area, a
0:17
Speaker 2: celebration of sorts my kids because it's the last day
0:22
Speaker 2: before spring break starts for their school district. I know
0:26
Speaker 2: some had spring break this current week. They're winding it down.
0:30
Speaker 2: I mean, they still have the weekend to go, but
0:31
Speaker 2: today's the final day of their spring break, and I
0:35
Speaker 2: know this is kind of that time of the year
0:36
Speaker 2: where it's either you know, one week some schools are out,
0:39
Speaker 2: the next week other schools are out. My kids are excited,
0:42
Speaker 2: and we got a little excursion plan for next week.
0:46
Speaker 2: So likely miss a couple shows next week, but I'll
0:49
Speaker 2: be back. It'll be all right. You know. You know
0:52
Speaker 2: you get by sometimes without me. It's okay. I appreciate
0:56
Speaker 2: those of you who feel like you can't. And on
0:59
Speaker 2: the occasion, I think we had a couple of times
1:01
Speaker 2: this week where shows uploaded at weird times, not the
1:03
Speaker 2: time they were supposed to upload. So appreciate you guys
1:07
Speaker 2: letting me know and you know, bearing with me on that.
1:11
Speaker 2: But we'll get back into the swing of things around midweek,
1:15
Speaker 2: and there's a lot a lot for us to talk
1:22
Speaker 2: about next week, at least in the world of space stuff,
1:24
Speaker 2: because talk about possibly launching Artemis too next week, so
1:29
Speaker 2: and I may very well be around for that if
1:33
Speaker 2: it goes on the current plan schedule the time. But
1:35
Speaker 2: we'll get into all that some next week. It is
1:40
Speaker 2: a Friday, and that means we've got some strange and
1:44
Speaker 2: bizarre news to get to. And I would like to
1:48
Speaker 2: begin like we always do on Fridays, or at least
1:51
Speaker 2: not always, but we have been for quite a while now,
1:54
Speaker 2: starting with some positive news, some good news. And this
2:02
Speaker 2: is kind of a fun story, and it takes place
2:07
Speaker 2: at Virginia Wesleyan University. There is a student there, Lindsey
2:14
Speaker 2: Goodwin is her name, and she's a freshman at West
2:20
Speaker 2: Virginia Wesleyan University. And she wanted to revive a piece
2:25
Speaker 2: of Virginia history there in the Commonwealth. So she became
2:31
Speaker 2: the co owner of a nostalgic general store in old
2:33
Speaker 2: town Portsmouth. So basically she was inspired by you know,
2:39
Speaker 2: kind of old fashioned shops when she was a kid.
2:42
Speaker 2: She partnered with her dad to create a store filled
2:44
Speaker 2: with historical charm and family vibes. The shop became a
2:49
Speaker 2: favorite and it draws in customers who stop in their tracks,
2:54
Speaker 2: some just to tell Lindsey how much the space reminds
2:56
Speaker 2: them of the home they grew up in. She balances
3:00
Speaker 2: are full course load at school and stays focused on
3:03
Speaker 2: keeping the shelf stocked and the neighborhood spirit high. So
3:07
Speaker 2: learning life, learning business all as a college freshman, it's
3:10
Speaker 2: kind of a cool, cool story there, so being a
3:14
Speaker 2: part of history and keeping that. But because we're losing
3:19
Speaker 2: those kinds of places, right we're losing them constantly. And
3:22
Speaker 2: as convenient as it is to do online shopping, as
3:25
Speaker 2: convenient as it is to go into a box store
3:27
Speaker 2: and get everything in one shot, it's nice to know
3:31
Speaker 2: that some of these places are being kept around, you know,
3:34
Speaker 2: just that little bit of history that is able to
3:39
Speaker 2: stay and the fact that people are appreciating it, that's
3:43
Speaker 2: pretty fantastic. Also, let's jump down to Florida. Not all
3:49
Speaker 2: just weird news in Florida. Sometimes there's some positive stuff
3:54
Speaker 2: and this is proof of that. I know we all
3:56
Speaker 2: have a tendency to go yep Florida, and even people
3:58
Speaker 2: in Florida go Yep, Florida. Gloria Vargas of Fort Lauderdale
4:03
Speaker 2: a waitress who basically turned some spaghetti into a lifeline
4:09
Speaker 2: for a community, serving over two hundred and seventy thousand
4:12
Speaker 2: meals to people in need. She started her own kitchen
4:16
Speaker 2: back in twenty twelve. She uses her own resources provide
4:19
Speaker 2: fresh chicken, fish and produce for hundreds of people every
4:23
Speaker 2: single week. As her ability to impact others started to grow,
4:27
Speaker 2: she founded a charity group called Care in Action USA,
4:31
Speaker 2: and it accepts donations and allows her, along with her
4:35
Speaker 2: husband and two sons, to provide as many meals as possible.
4:38
Speaker 2: The operation obviously family affair. Her sons write encouraging messages
4:45
Speaker 2: on every meal lid and her husband uses his skills
4:47
Speaker 2: as a mechanic to fix cars for free, so it's
4:51
Speaker 2: more than just food. And family also assists with rent
4:54
Speaker 2: and clothing and open a transition home for basically help
5:00
Speaker 2: some neighbors get back on their feet. So, with the
5:03
Speaker 2: help of volunteers and friends and family and donors, they
5:08
Speaker 2: continue to take care of folks less fortunate through their mission,
5:12
Speaker 2: and they say that making a difference, one person at
5:15
Speaker 2: a time, that's their focus. Nice story see, it's not
5:18
Speaker 2: just weird stuff. It's not just strange Florida man stories.
5:21
Speaker 2: Occasionally we can get more than occasionally. Florida's not so bad.
5:27
Speaker 2: Why does everybody pick on Florida. No, that's a great story.
5:30
Speaker 2: I like it. All right, let's go into some strange
5:34
Speaker 2: and bizarre news from around the world as we get
5:37
Speaker 2: into this Friday deep into this Friday edition of the show.
5:40
Speaker 2: Now we'll start in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where a man, according
5:45
Speaker 2: to authorities, set his own house on fire at three
5:49
Speaker 2: in the morning. All right, that's awful, you know, setting
5:54
Speaker 2: your house on fire. You know what's going on there.
5:58
Speaker 2: The thing that makes it extra interesting is it apparently
6:02
Speaker 2: he was singing or singing along to I don't know which,
6:06
Speaker 2: I guess just singing burning down the House by the
6:10
Speaker 2: talking Heads. I mean, if you're going to burn your
6:14
Speaker 2: house down, that seems to be the correct soundtrack for it, right.
6:20
Speaker 2: Fire crews arrived to find the forty three year old
6:23
Speaker 2: his name Martin Haig, allegedly blocking the doorway as smoke
6:28
Speaker 2: poured out inside, where his mother, his six year old son,
6:32
Speaker 2: and another person all scrambling to escape as a living
6:35
Speaker 2: room chair smoldered in the fireplace. Investigators say Haig, who
6:40
Speaker 2: was as you might not be so shocked to find out,
6:44
Speaker 2: under the influence of drugs and or alcohol, later told
6:48
Speaker 2: hospital staff he was having a bad day and he
6:51
Speaker 2: tossed the chair in the fireplace because it was dirty.
6:55
Speaker 2: You know, they have services that could clean your chair.
6:59
Speaker 2: The home showed. I mean they can clean it right up.
7:07
Speaker 2: You know, even at home, you can clean it. There's
7:10
Speaker 2: there's options. I don't know if this was some kind
7:12
Speaker 2: of fancy leather or home showed melted glass, scorch, wallpaper,
7:16
Speaker 2: burnt fireplace, mantle. Hague facing multiple charges of arson, child endangerment,
7:23
Speaker 2: and uh good taste in music. You know, can't go
7:29
Speaker 2: wrong with talking heads, right, you know, makes me think
7:33
Speaker 2: of Revenge of the Nerds. Remember they caught a house
7:36
Speaker 2: on fire in that one, and we're singing along to that.
7:39
Speaker 2: So maybe he had been watching Revenge of the Nerds.
7:41
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't want to presume anything about
7:44
Speaker 2: this guy. I don't want to. I don't want to
7:45
Speaker 2: get political here. If you were we'll go to Florida. Now,
7:52
Speaker 2: If you were driving on Interstate Forward near Plant City, Florida,
7:56
Speaker 2: in the last couple of weeks, you may have had
7:59
Speaker 2: the play measure of having a bit of a double
8:01
Speaker 2: take when callers reported a pickup truck rolling down the
8:04
Speaker 2: highway with what looked like missiles mounted on the back.
8:08
Speaker 2: Florida Highway patrol track down the vehicle pulled the driver over.
8:12
Speaker 2: After closer look, troopers discovered the missiles weren't weapons. They
8:16
Speaker 2: were plastic props used for shows and events. Everything checked
8:20
Speaker 2: out safely, though the troopers did offer the driver some
8:23
Speaker 2: strong advice about maybe a better way to transport cargo.
8:30
Speaker 2: You know, that looks like missiles going down the road. Yeah,
8:39
Speaker 2: I mean, and looking at the photos, my first thought
8:42
Speaker 2: was they look like maybe rockets for some kind of
8:45
Speaker 2: a rocket competition. That's what I thought, you know, maybe
8:50
Speaker 2: they're you know, launching these toy rocket type things up.
8:55
Speaker 2: And considering the fact that it's kind of hooked to
8:57
Speaker 2: these what looked like PVC things, and I mean, all
8:59
Speaker 2: that kind of fits in the mold of that. But
9:02
Speaker 2: you know, people going to panic, people going to freak out,
9:06
Speaker 2: and I guess it's better to call and just ask questions,
9:10
Speaker 2: you know, But still I don't know that it really
9:13
Speaker 2: constituted getting the police involved. But anyway, all right, still
9:18
Speaker 2: in Florida because you know this one In Palm Beach County,
9:24
Speaker 2: a sheriff's deputy resigned after an internal investigation found she
9:29
Speaker 2: was creating and selling foot fetish content and there was
9:35
Speaker 2: one where she was in uniform. See that's where the
9:43
Speaker 2: line gets crossed, right, that's where you have crossed the
9:46
Speaker 2: line when you're in uniform, as law enforcement investigators say,
9:52
Speaker 2: the deputy, Brandy Tinlan, who served more than twenty years
9:56
Speaker 2: with the agency, ran a subscription account I wonder what
9:59
Speaker 2: the that was focused on foot related content and earned
10:03
Speaker 2: about six thousand dollars over sixteen months. Probe also found
10:07
Speaker 2: some activity happened during work hours on the sheriff's office equipment. Again,
10:14
Speaker 2: that's another part of the problem. I mean, you could say, well,
10:18
Speaker 2: she's got a right, but doing it at work in uniform.
10:23
Speaker 2: Sheriff's Office says that Tenlan violated multiple policies, including rules
10:28
Speaker 2: on outside employment conduct, unbecoming misuse of resources. She also
10:33
Speaker 2: admitted using sick leave to film content after a vacation
10:37
Speaker 2: request was denied. Tenlin resigned while the investigation was underway,
10:41
Speaker 2: and the agency says it remains committed to maintaining professionalism
10:46
Speaker 2: and public trust. So you know, maybe there's a full
10:52
Speaker 2: time career in it for you just hate to throw away,
10:55
Speaker 2: like a twenty year career in law enforcement though. But
11:00
Speaker 2: you know, some people are proud of their feet. Some
11:03
Speaker 2: people really like feet tho. It's like chocolate and peanut
11:07
Speaker 2: butter coming together. I guess I don't know. A small
11:10
Speaker 2: Texas town that has a big personality or a bug
11:14
Speaker 2: personality has ran into a bit of a problem. Bug Tussle.
11:18
Speaker 2: It's a small village with no population, keeps having road
11:22
Speaker 2: signs stolen. More than seventy signs bearing the town's name
11:26
Speaker 2: have vanished over the years. Apparently visitors just can't resist
11:31
Speaker 2: taking them, and now the Department of Transportation says it
11:36
Speaker 2: will no longer install replacements. This is why we can't
11:39
Speaker 2: have nice things. Just can't have them. You know, it
11:44
Speaker 2: should be something for everyone to admire, but no people
11:47
Speaker 2: say I want this at my house. Locals say that
11:51
Speaker 2: they're proud of bug Tussle, which replaced the original name
11:55
Speaker 2: Trusts sometime after the eighteen nineties. No shortage of stories
11:59
Speaker 2: on how ug Tussle got it. One tale says that
12:03
Speaker 2: a church ice cream social was overrun by insects. Another
12:07
Speaker 2: claims that two men were arguing about the town's name
12:09
Speaker 2: got distracted by a pair of bugs wrestling. The third legend,
12:15
Speaker 2: the traveling salesman once asked what folks did there for fun,
12:18
Speaker 2: and someone replied, when there's nothing else to do, we
12:20
Speaker 2: watch the bugs tussle. That seems most likely. You know,
12:25
Speaker 2: if you're driving along State Highway thirty four in Fannin County,
12:28
Speaker 2: you'll probably drive right through bug tussle and may not
12:31
Speaker 2: know it because there's no signs. Here's an idea. I mean,
12:38
Speaker 2: I am a small business owner, all right, but this
12:43
Speaker 2: isn't my area of expertise. I don't know. Maybe it is.
12:47
Speaker 2: It's this is a marketing thing, but let just put it.
12:49
Speaker 2: Let's put it that way. Maybe if they would sell signs,
12:56
Speaker 2: like make the signs, sell the signs, then people that
13:01
Speaker 2: want the signs can buy them, and then they can
13:05
Speaker 2: use the money from selling the signs to buy new
13:08
Speaker 2: signs to put up along the highway. You know, again,
13:13
Speaker 2: I'm just offering that as a possible solution to the problem,
13:18
Speaker 2: but I think it would work. If people want the
13:21
Speaker 2: signs that badly, you'd have some that would pay for them.
13:25
Speaker 2: Worst case, go to West Palm and there's an officer
13:28
Speaker 2: there that maybe she could take pictures of her feet
13:30
Speaker 2: and sell them, and they could no. A Florida driver
13:35
Speaker 2: was clocked it over one hundred miles an hour and
13:37
Speaker 2: tried to beat the rat by offering police the excuse
13:41
Speaker 2: that he was trying to avoid an animal. Deputy SA
13:44
Speaker 2: thirty two year old Gregory dull Scene was pulled over
13:47
Speaker 2: and cited for dangerous excessive speeding, which is a criminal
13:51
Speaker 2: offense under Florida law. He told police officers he had
13:54
Speaker 2: no other choice because there was an animal in the
13:56
Speaker 2: road and he needed to put the to the metal
14:00
Speaker 2: to avoid it. Unclear what type of animal it was
14:04
Speaker 2: that he was trying to avoid while going one hundred
14:07
Speaker 2: and one miles an hour fastest land animals at Cheetah.
14:12
Speaker 2: But that's you know, sixty seventy miles an hour. I
14:15
Speaker 2: mean that cheetah could have been driving a car Chester
14:18
Speaker 2: perhaps because he seems like he would have the ability
14:23
Speaker 2: to do that. You know, still no opposable thumbs, but
14:26
Speaker 2: you know, it's a cool cat. Doul Scene was arrested
14:30
Speaker 2: later released on a five hundred dollars, bond a couple
14:32
Speaker 2: other theories on this animal thing. I know they went
14:35
Speaker 2: to Cheetah because of speed, but let me just offer
14:37
Speaker 2: a couple of other suggestions. Coyote or roadrunner. I mean,
14:43
Speaker 2: they seemed the most I know that you know those
14:48
Speaker 2: stories didn't take place in Florida, but I'm just saying
14:54
Speaker 2: it could have been either one of those that he
14:56
Speaker 2: was dodging at that speed, you know, acme, D and T.
15:02
Speaker 2: Maybe the guy with a truck full of rocket looking items.
15:07
Speaker 2: All these stories seem connected, don't they all? Right? Finally
15:11
Speaker 2: not really connected. But this is another story police in
15:20
Speaker 2: This is Independence, Missouri or Maszura, depending on where you
15:24
Speaker 2: landed on that Missouri Missouri compromise. Police in Independence, Missouri
15:30
Speaker 2: were called to a discount store after security called and
15:33
Speaker 2: reported a suspicious powder inside a Barbie doll package. Test
15:38
Speaker 2: confirmed it was fentanyl, prompting officers to track down five
15:43
Speaker 2: contaminated packages that had already been sold. All five were
15:45
Speaker 2: quickly recovered. No injuries were reported. Investigators say there is
15:50
Speaker 2: no indication the tainted toys were distributed to any other retailers,
15:53
Speaker 2: but the case remains under investigation. This is scary I mean,
16:00
Speaker 2: I know that some people who purchase Barbie's or collectors.
16:03
Speaker 2: Some people who purchase them are you know, adults that
16:06
Speaker 2: have been collecting barbiees for years, But for the most
16:10
Speaker 2: part they're intended for kids. This is a scary story,
16:15
Speaker 2: so they need to figure out is this is this
16:17
Speaker 2: a thing? Is this a way to smuggle things? Is
16:21
Speaker 2: this because they were near things that were being smuggled?
16:23
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's a scary story though, isn't it
16:26
Speaker 2: some breaking bad type? You know, is this version of Barbie,
16:31
Speaker 2: you know, dating Jesse or was she one of Walter
16:36
Speaker 2: White students? I guess we'll find out maybe. Today's show
16:38

Speaker 2: State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any
17:32
Speaker 2: concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one
17:36
Speaker 2: of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
17:38
Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
17:42
Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
17:47
Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space

18:48
Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
18:51
Speaker 2: square and that away for you, and while they're there,
18:54
Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
18:56
Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
18:59
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
19:03
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
19:05
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:08
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
19:11
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
19:15
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes
19:19
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
19:22
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
19:24
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
19:27
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
19:31
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
19:33
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
19:36
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid, you'd like to
19:38
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
19:40
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
19:43
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
19:46

19:55

Speaker 2: helping women get a marriage proposal within ninety days. Would
20:48
Speaker 2: put you on track still for a summer wedding at
20:50
Speaker 2: this point, right She says the key isn't rushing someone
20:54
Speaker 2: into marriage, but being intentional from the start, so women
20:57
Speaker 2: don't spend years with partners who never plan to commit.
21:01
Speaker 2: She says, this is not about pushing for marriage in
21:03
Speaker 2: ninety days. This is about making sure you're not spending
21:05
Speaker 2: five years, sometimes even ten years with a partner who
21:08
Speaker 2: never had the intention of marrying you in the first place.
21:11
Speaker 2: She says women should skip the traditional girlfriend stage that
21:15
Speaker 2: she describes as a period where women essentially are test
21:18
Speaker 2: driven for years before the partner makes a decision. She says, instead,
21:25
Speaker 2: she encourages women to express early on that they're looking
21:28
Speaker 2: for a long term commitment and date with discernment. She
21:32
Speaker 2: also recommends waiting at least ninety days before becoming exclusive,
21:36
Speaker 2: moving in together, or being intimate, emphasizing these boundaries help
21:40
Speaker 2: reveal a partner's true intentions. I mean, this is kind
21:45
Speaker 2: of what the whole courtship thing was about back in
21:48
Speaker 2: the day, isn't it. This is just old school, This
21:50
Speaker 2: is throwback. This isn't anything new, But it's nice to
21:54
Speaker 2: hear that there's some people saying, yeah, maybe maybe go
21:59
Speaker 2: into this as if you're looking for a partner and
22:03
Speaker 2: something long term. Speaking of engagements, a new survey shows
22:07
Speaker 2: a lot of Americans now see engagement rings as more
22:09
Speaker 2: of a financial burden than a romantic tradition. According to
22:13
Speaker 2: the research, people feel more pressure from society and social
22:16
Speaker 2: media to buy an expensive ring than to than the
22:22
Speaker 2: pressure I guess from their families and partners. They say
22:25
Speaker 2: sixty five percent say the whole idea is become too costly.
22:32
Speaker 2: Is what they say. That summarizes it. It was longer than that,
22:35
Speaker 2: but that summarizes it. Younger generations like gen Z and
22:39
Speaker 2: millennials especially open to alternatives, whether it's choosing a non
22:43
Speaker 2: diamond stone, taking a special trip instead of buying a ring,
22:47
Speaker 2: or even getting matching tattoos. Survey also found that three
22:52
Speaker 2: month salary rule doesn't really hold up anymore, most people
22:55
Speaker 2: spending far less, focusing on financial stability and honest money conversations.
23:03
Speaker 2: I mean, it does seem like it could be, certainly
23:05
Speaker 2: by younger generations determined to be a little outdated. I
23:10
Speaker 2: get that. United Airlines has just announced a major new
23:15
Speaker 2: seating option for long haul economy passengers, called the United
23:18
Speaker 2: Relax Row. It's a three seat row that convert into
23:23
Speaker 2: a couch like live flat lounge once the plane reaches
23:27
Speaker 2: cruising altitude, marking the first time a North American airline
23:31
Speaker 2: will offer this type of transformable economy seating aimed at
23:35
Speaker 2: giving travelers more space and comfort without upgrading to premium cabins.
23:40
Speaker 2: Customers who purchase the new seats will also receive a
23:44
Speaker 2: custom fitted mattress pad, specially sized blankets, extra pillows, and
23:51
Speaker 2: stuffy plush toys for children, as well as kids travel
23:58
Speaker 2: kits for families. The United relax Row is exclusive to
24:01
Speaker 2: North America and expected to be available on more than
24:07
Speaker 2: two hundred Boeing seven eighty seven and Boeing seven seven
24:10
Speaker 2: seven wide body aircraft starting in twenty twenty seven. Pretty cool,
24:16
Speaker 2: looks comfortable. I mean it really does, and someone who
24:20
Speaker 2: has done a lot of long haul flights, I can
24:23
Speaker 2: tell you the idea of being able to stretch out
24:25
Speaker 2: and lie down sounds fantastic. But I'm just curious to
24:32
Speaker 2: see what the price tag is, that's the question. It
24:35
Speaker 2: sounds great, but are they really trying to figure out
24:38
Speaker 2: a way to just to upsell you? There? That's all
24:42
Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Friday edition of the show.
