  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, twenty third day of January. I'm Wes. Thanks
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: for joining me. Wherever you are in the country, I
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: hope the weather treats you well this weekend. The weather
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: did not treat our snowman well. Here yesterday, yes our
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: snowman was still hanging on until sometime last night or
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: early morning. Whenever he finally succumbed to the rain. You
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: can put your snowman. This is my little tip if
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: you want to have your snowman around for a while.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: All right. I know it's not you know, I'm not
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the first person to do this. I'm just pointing out
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: to you know when people say, how do you how's
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: your snowman still going? And cause it's been a while
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: since we've had snow, and the snowman has lasted this
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: long because we build him in the shade. That's the trick.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Build him where he's not going to get much sun,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: and you know, that's the trick. Won't heat up as much.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: He'll last a bit longer. The thing that doesn't save him, though,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: is you know, the rain. If you want to put
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: an umbrella as part of your snowman's attire. Then that
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: will definitely help him last longer or her. I'm not
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: going to assume I know the gender of your snowman.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: But my point is our snowman did not survive in
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the rain yesterday, so that was fine, and then warmer,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: it was a little bit warmer. It wasn't hot yesterday,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: but it was warmer. It was warm enough to go.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: So we had already gotten a piece of him, thankfully,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and stored it in our freezer. So we try to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: roll over the snowman piece. I got that from a
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: friend of mine that lives up in Charlotte. You get,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you know, save a little bit, and then the next snowman,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: you make that part of the next one, and that
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: weighs a little piece of him in there or her. Again,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: don't want to assume I know anything about your snowman
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and your snowman's gender. I don't know. I don't know
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: what's going on at your house. But and I realize,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: of course that it's a snowman. There's no gender. But
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: parts of the country obviously are going to be looking
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: at some serious issues. We got some parts of Georgia
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: that have obviously have some concerns and some of We
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: have a lot of listeners spread out around I'll just
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: say that I've mentioned that before. Listeners around the world,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: many around the world. Some of you are you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: you're using a VPN, so I know that's part of
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the around the world stuff. But we have listeners around
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the world. We have a concentration of listeners in this
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: area where I live, so you know, we're kind of
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: in that phase where it's looking okay for us. We're
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: going to get some rain. Parts of the state gonna
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: get hit pretty hard. But again, this isn't a weather show.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I can't give you the up to the minute weather
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: because I don't know when you're listening. I just know
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: at the point of me recording that's the latest, and
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: all the weather people are saying be ready because you
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: never know, it could change. So I don't know, maybe
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: it's even changed since I last checked. My weather man's
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: not up yet this morning, so he's here in my
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: house and he's currently asleep. So that's where I'm at
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: with my up to date ness on the weather. And
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I know up to dateness is a word I just
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: made up, but I kind of like it. And I
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: think I'm gonna use it a lot. It is Friday,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and Friday after a holiday week, so it's a four
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: day boom. Here we are on a Friday, and we've
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: got some good news, some positive news to roll into
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the weekend before we get into our strange and bizarre
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: news from around the world. This story starts back in
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. Deputy Brittany Bratcher, Greenville County Sheriff's Office
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: in South Carolina, responded to a call to protect and
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: met a little girl that would change her life. Brittany,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: already a mother of one, felt a deep connection to
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the child who was in need, and took steps to
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: adopt her. The road to becoming a family wasn't easy,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: involving nearly three years of legal hurdles and immense patients.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: All of the perseverance, though, paid off back on January twelfth,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: when the adoption was made official in a courtroom filled
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: with smiles, kisses, and a few proud family members that
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: included this new big sister. Officials from the Sheriff's office
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: congratulating the family, saying that the adoption showed a willingness
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: and desire to step up when it matters most, both
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: in uniform and in life, describing Brittany not only as
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: a protector but a source of unconditional love, stability, and hope.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: How about that. I'm not going to beat that. You're
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: not going to beat that. For positive news stories, that's great,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: that's fantastic. What great story, great great ending. And it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: not even ending. It's just the next step, right, this
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: is the next chapter is starting for those two. So
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: all those three, there's already another kid in the family,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: all right, So let's try at least to get another
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: good news story in. After seventy years of marriage, Harold
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and Francis Pew of Hopewell, Virginia, finally had the wedding
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: of their dreams in January, just a few weeks ago.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: So here's the deal. Harold Francis. They're ninety one and
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: ninety years old. Originally eloped in their twenties after falling
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: in love at a skating rink in the nineteen fifties,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: but they never had a formal ceremony with family and friends.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: So to celebrate their platinum anniversary, the couple walk down
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: the aisle at their local church with Francis in a
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: sequin jacket and gown. Harold in a dark suit. This
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: is nice. During the val renewal, the couple enjoyed the spotlight.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Guests shared stories of how Harold and Francis spent decades
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: putting the needs of others before their own, and it
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: was clear to all that even after seventy years, love
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: was still in the air, as Francis admired her handsome
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: husband and Harold joked with guests about finally making the
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: big decision. I know it doesn't beat the other one,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: but that's pretty close. Gotta be excited. And other news.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that seventy years was the platinum anniversary,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: so I guess I thought it was seventy five. But
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know. You had silver, you got gold. Those
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: are twenty five increments, right, you jump up to seventy five.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I would have thought that would have been platinum. But
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I guess seventy is all you need to get to platinum.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: It's a pretty big accomplishment. That's a big deal. Seventy
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: years married, that's a big deal, all right. Strange and
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: bizarre news from around the world. Art and Alcatraz. Yeah,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the island had an unusual visitor earlier this week. And
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: it wasn't a tourist just checking out this hot tourist
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: destination in San Francisco. Oh no, it was a coyote.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: They're really common in California, especially in this particular area.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I know LA has a lot of coyotes. Anyway, coyote
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: swam across the bay climbed onto the rocky shoreline of
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the former prison. A tourist on a ferryboat captured video
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: of the coyotes swimming to the island and then alerted
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: park rangers. By the time they searched the island, the
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: animal had vanished. It's believed the coyote likely slipped back
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: into the water, possibly though it's hiding somewhere on the island.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Wildlife observers say that the island has enough food supplies
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: and small pools of fresh water to sustain the coyote
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: for a while. Either way, the determined little swimmer battled
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: a strong current infamously strong current there in that bay,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and completed the mile and a half swim. First time
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: a coyote has been spotted on the rock, So probably
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: a few guys who's nicknames were the coyote, or maybe
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: even people whose professions were coyote, but an actual coyote
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: first time. All right, we're gonna go to Austria. Now
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: we got another cool animal story. This is kind of
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: a big, big thing, right. Basically, researchers in Austria have
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: documented what appears to be the first cow known to
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: use tools, not screwdrivers and wrenches and all that stuff.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I have different names for tools though, I claca claccas
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and click clacks. I got different names for them. It
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: makes sense in my head, it doesn't make sense to
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: anybody else. My brother's the only one who understands what
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about. But that's not what we're talking about.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Scientists observe a cow named Veronica who picked up a
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: broom with her mouth and then used it to scratch
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: her back. Her owner says that she's actually been doing
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: it for years. She uses the broom to scratch hard
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: to reach spots. Who doesn't, I mean, who's not using
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: a broom to scratch her back? I know bears do
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the thing that I more commonly do, which is, you know, scratch.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I don't really do it on a tree. I do
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: it in a doorway, But you know, I got to
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: get those hard to reach spots and a broom works.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: That bristled in of a broomstick, you know, good for
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: tougher skin, and uh, you know, I would think this
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: makes sense. It's just amazing that a cow did it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: BUTI I'll just say the observation could reshape of how
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: we think about farm animal intelligence. She explained that the
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: behavior was clearly intentional and showed real problem solving ability.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Mark my words. This will be part of the justification
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: for somebody to say we got to eat less beef.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, they already want us to eat less. This
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: will be justification for why we should be eating less beef.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I tell you that all the time. Anytime they find out, oh, well,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: cows can communicate, that'll be a reason for us to
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: eat less cow. That's just what they do. But it's
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: still pretty remarkable for I mean, there's video. You can
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: see video of the cow scratching its back with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: broom All right, let's go now to Oklahoma. Some good
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: news for alligator lovers. In Oklahoma, a state lawmaker wants
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: to make it easier for people to own alligators as pets.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: It's good news for alligator lovers, not such great news
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: for people who live near alligator lovers, I guess. Senator
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Wingard introduced a bill that would let sooners own
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: captive bread alligators without needing a permit. Picking one up
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: off the street or out of a swamp would still
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: be illegal, but certain types from breeders would be fair game.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Right now, Oklahoma law bands owning American alligators altogether unless
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: you're a commercial breeder, and even those breeders have to
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: follow very strict rules. The new bill would lose some
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: of the restrictions for everyday residents, So if you're in Oklahoma,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: you might be able to own some alligators. That's what
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: we're getting at. Authorities in Colorado trying to solve big
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: mystery involving a tiny rabbit that's been trying to hop
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: into visitors cars at a ski resort. Guess in the
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: ski Town Copper Mountains say that they've seen a rabbit
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: hopping right up to the vehicles and even trying to
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: jump in. A local employee, worried that it might be
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: a lost or abandon pet, called animal control officers couldn't
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: track the rabbit down, but witnesses later sent in a
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: clear photo of the would be hitchhiker and authorities confirmed
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: that the bunny isn't a runaway house pet. It is
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: actually a wild rabbit and it just happens to be
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: unusually bowled around people. The rabbit hasn't been caught yet,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: but when it is, it will likely be humanely relocated.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: We are working our way towards eastern I'm just saying,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: there is, you know, certain bunny out there. We don't
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: know what he Maybe he's just trying to go skin.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe the Easter bunny's trying to enjoy his vacation time
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: before we get into the Easter season. Because it's coming up.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: It's coming up fast, all right. We got to have
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: at least one in Florida right. Authorities in Florida rested
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: an eighteen year old who was caught attempting a TikTok
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: challenge that involved an overnight stay inside of Walmart. Police
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: in Inglewood say that Isaac Hurley was discovered Tuesday evening
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: tuck between dog beds in a closed store, all while
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: live streaming his so called twenty four hour challenge to
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: his TikTok followers. A nine to one one callar tipped
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: officers off, saying that the young man was broadcasting from
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: inside the building after hours when officers found him. They
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: say that Hurley admitted he hoped to make money from
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: TikTok views and had entered the store about forty five
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: minutes before it closed. His marathon stay did not last long, though,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: employees still inside wrapping up their nightly tasks spotted him
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: before the night was over. Early now faces a felony
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: burglary charge along with a theft count for allegedly taking
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: a sixteen dollars iPhone charger. Yeah, charging his iPhone cost
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: him a theft count. Yeah. He was released on a
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: bond and ordered to stay away from Walmart. Now is
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: this just this Walmart? Or does he have to stay
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: away from all Walmart stores? I don't know how that works.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: But is it worth it? I don't know. Maybe the
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: TikTok fame that comes from this may be worth it
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: in the long run. Today's show brought to you by

• 16:06
  Speaker 2: what you want it to be and you need some
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: some sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.

  Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.

• 16:58

  Speaker 2: by the way, because of the changes of the face
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: increased people spending money on things like plastic surgery because
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: they lost weight more quickly than you do if you
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: kind of slowly do it, and then your body needs
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: that surgery to kind of get things back into place.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Are tightened things up, I guess is actually what it is.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: So here's one where it's actually going to be more profitable.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: I assume for the airlines. And I don't know that
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: this is going to be passed on to us as
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: far as savings go. As they're saying because of the
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: weight loss from ozimpic and Manjarro and things, airlines are
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: going to be saving money and airline fuel bills could
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: basically take millions off of the fuel bills. So analyst
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: at Jefferies says that if Americans slim down by about
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: ten percent, the total passenger weight on flights could drop
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: by about two percent, leading to around one point five
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: percent fuel savings for major carriers. That adds up to
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: about five hundred and eighty million dollars a year saved
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: by airlines like American Delta, United Southwest. Since fuel is
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: one of their biggest expenses. Lighter passengers means lighter planes.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Lighter planes burn less fuel. So people focusing on their
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: health goals and their peersants airlines enjoying the benefits of
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: that as well. And before you get all freaked out
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: and go, oh, they're keeping that money, and I understand
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: it would be great. Believe me as someone who when
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: we fly, we spend lots of money on flights, big
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: international flights typically when we do travel. Just know, some
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: of those airlines still recovering from COVID in the travel
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: that affected them so much. I know it's one of
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: those things. It's hard to hard to feel sorry for
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: some some of the airlines. There's one that's on my
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: list at the moment. Lunch at the office can get
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: especially pricey. A new study found that average office lunch
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: in major cities now runs about twenty three dollars and
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: sixty cents, which is more than an hour of minimum
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: wage pay in those major cities. So if you buy
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: lunch every workday, that adds up to roughly fifty six
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: hundred and sixty four dollars a year. Hybrid workers often
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: spend even more on the days that they're in the
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: office thanks to coffee runs and social lunches, and packing
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: your own lunch still the most affordable way to go,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: though you can do that at about five dollars and
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: fifty cents per meal, saving forty three hundred dollars annually
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: costs this Hiight, it's no surprise that more employees are
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: say that returning to the office feels like taking a
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: pay cut, and why free lunch becoming a pretty tempting
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: worst place perk for people. So yeah, I would say,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: if you got that expense account and you're having to
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: take people out to lunch otherwise, maybe just bring your
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: lunch from home. Twenty four Your old woman from Thailand
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: has gone viral after revealing that she's dating identical twin
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: brothers at the same time. Nong Fa says that she
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: first met Singh and Shway. I'm guessing on this. I'm
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: not really. I've had a lot of practice on the
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Thai names while working at a restaurant, and after they
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: both messaged her on this, she found herself developing feelings
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: for both of them, surprising. The twins don't get jealous,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: say they're fine with sharing a girlfriend. Things are going
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: well and according to Nong that they are now living
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: happily ever after. That's where it gets weird. One thing
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: to be dating and you know, just say, hey, we're
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: kind of testing this all out and seeing where things go. Yeah,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: that's where that's where it starts to get wild when
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: they start talking about happily ever after. You know, all right,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: hot take. Dating is a new thing. No, it's not
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: dating twin tie guys. It is basically laying it all
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: out there right from the start, letting potential dates know
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: exactly how you feel about things. On the first date
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: or even during the early chat process. The idea is
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: to skip to small talk. I'm not a big fan
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: of small talks. That's good, and then be upfront about
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: the stuff that really matters, especially big topics like politics, religion,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: lifestyle choices, and according to Tenders year in Swipe twenty
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: twenty five report, singles are saying shared values are a must.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: So this approach is becoming more common. When it's done thoughtfully,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: it can save time, help you find someone who's genuinely
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: aligned with you. Experts Warren that coming on too strong, though,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: can turn off perfectly good matches or potential matches, so
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: It's all about knowing your deal breakers and keeping a
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: little tact there in the mix. So keep that in
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: mind if you're thinking about diving in headfirst when it
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: comes to this whole hot take dating. That'll do it
• 22:35
