  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the Wes
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carroll Morning Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Friday morning, 23rd day of October. I have an 18-year-old
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: in my house.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Don't know how I feel about it yet. Just got
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: to kind of see how the weekend goes. You know,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: it's just a weird place to be, but they do that.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: They grow up. Getting older beats the alternative, as my
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: mom likes to say, and that is very, very true.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: It is Friday, and that means we'll kick off the
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: show with some positivity, some positive news, like this story
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: of a five-month-year-old kitten named Gelato who arrived at an
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: animal shelter in Cincinnati on And the shelter staff said,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: this kitten, Gelato, is going to need some extra care. Well,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know that Gelato had a name at that point.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: But I guess they gave Gelato his name. He had
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: a lower back injury that left his hind legs paralyzed.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: So the staff built him a mini wheelchair out of
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Hot Wheels cars and wooden rulers and some ribbon. The
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: contraption worked. Gelato was able to get around. Since then,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Gelato was given a more stable and traditional wheelchair, which
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: allowed everyone involved with Gelato to help him regain his
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: strength with regular therapy. And now Gelato's life got even
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: better when he found a forever home. Hope Hollinsworth, who
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: already owns two other special needs cats, officially adopted Gelato.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Hope wanted to give her two cats, Breadcrumbs and Sprinkles,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: who have use of only their front legs due to injuries.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: to have an additional cuddle buddy. Gelato will continue therapy
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: with the hope that he will regain the use of
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: his back legs. Regardless of the success with the therapy, though,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Gelato will have all the help and support he needs
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: in his new home, as Hope explained. Either way, he'll
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: be perfect to me. What a sweet story. Yeah, the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Hot Wheels cars were ambulances. I thought that was a
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: nice touch. And I guess the regular wheelchairs that were
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: available were too big for a kitten. So he had
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to grow into the bigger animal wheelchairs so that he
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: could use those. And ultimately that's what he did. So
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: speaking of wheelchairs, we've got another story here that involves
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a wheelchair. Nine-year-old Kaylin Goodman was born with a rare
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: muscle weakening condition in Needs a wheelchair to get around.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: And Halloween coming up, Kalen wanted to be a princess
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: angel for her school's annual trunk or treat event. But
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: she worried about how the wheelchair would fit in as
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: far as the whole outfit goes. So the 25 eighth
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: grade science and engineering students stepped in. They invited Kalen
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: to their classroom to create designs, sew, use laser cutters.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and ultimately transformed her wheelchair into a stunning wing-adorned angel
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: throne fit for a princess. Kalen says the magical outfit
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: made her feel extra special. They made my wheelchair into
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: a beautiful angel throne, Kalen said, and I got to
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: be a princess angel just like I wanted. She said
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: my favorite part was seeing how they took my ideas
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and made them real, and the wings, I felt like
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: a real princess. Nice job to those eighth graders. They
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: deserve some extra credit. They're getting extra credit for that.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Just in life, man. Just in life. All right, let's
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: head down to Florida for some strange and bizarre news
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: from around the world where in Florida, a driver learned
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the hard way that a laser printer is not a
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: substitute for the DMV. Authorities say that the driver bought
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: a new car and then allegedly snapped a photo of
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: a license plate from another vehicle that he owned, printed
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: it out, and taped the paper copy onto the car
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: instead of getting a real registration, as one is legally
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: required to do, in spite of what many sovereign citizens believe.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: The plan might have worked, except for one tiny detail.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: A Florida Highway Patrol trooper in Fort Myers noticed the
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: plate wasn't reflecting light, the way a real metal tag would,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: and a traffic stop happened, and the trooper discovered the
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: license plate was just a color photocopy. In fact, the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: ink on it was also running. The driver faces a
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: misdemeanor charge. The ink is going to run if it
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: rains or there's high humidity. Those two things never happen
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: in Florida. You never get rain and you never get
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: high humidity, so Yeah, this one's a bad idea all around.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was a try. Misdemeanor charge, you know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: just get a plate, come on. Let's jump up to Canada,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: or at least not really to Canada, but a Canadian
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: tourist had been found guilty of animal cruelty after taking
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: a flamingo named Peachy from its habitat at the Flamingo
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas Hotel. and bringing the frightened and injured bird
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: to his hotel room as a prank. Hilarious. Nothing funnier
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: to a bird than being kidnapped and taken to a
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: hotel room. What a hilarious prank. 33-year-old Mitchell Fairbarn said
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: he drank 30 to 40 beers that day back in
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: March and never intended to hurt the bird. His lawyer
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: argued it was a drunken mistake, not an intentional act
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: of cruelty. but a jury convicted him on both felony
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: and misdemeanor charges. Peachy was later found with missing feathers,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: blood on its plumage, and wing injuries. The Ontario man
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: remains under house arrest and faces up to four years
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: in prison when he is sentenced in December. Veterinarians say
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Peachy has fully recovered physically, but remains more anxious and
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: nervous since the incident. Animal rights advocates say the verdict
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: sends a message that bird abuse and animal abuse Won't
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: be tolerated in Nevada. It shouldn't be tolerated anywhere, I say. No, no, no.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: No toleration for bird and animal abuse. Speaking of birds,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: a runaway emu caused a stir in Santa Cruz, California
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: after wandering in and out of traffic on the highway.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: The California Highway Patrol says dispatchers received multiple calls about
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the large bird. noting that while officers often respond to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: reports involving dogs, cats, deer, and other wildlife, an emu
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: was the first for them. The bird's owner arrived at
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the scene with the help from CHP officers, the CHIPS,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: you know, 7 Mary 3 and whatnot. The emu was
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: safely rounded up and returned home. No injuries were reported.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I think in the States we say emu, but emu
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: is the way they say it in Australia. That's how
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I say it. Live with it. We're a two country family.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: We're a two continent family. So if I didn't say
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: it there, I don't even know some of these words.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I forget the way that they're said here. You know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: sometimes that comes up. I've not said tomato, you know,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: just on the fly, but I have messed a few
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: things up. There's a couple of words that I really
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: don't remember how we even say them here. Just a couple.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Emu is now on that list. I don't know how
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: we say it here, but that's how I say it.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Let's get another animal story. How about a hungry bear
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: in California emerging from the 100-acre wood to make an
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: unexpected stop at Mammoth Lakes Library? And the timing was
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: on point. The 100th anniversary of Winnie the Pooh's first appearance.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: This bear wandered into the library before dawn, went straight
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: for a staff snack stash. helping itself to peanut butter, cookies,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: fruit cups, and of course, a jar of honey. Library
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: officials say the bear browsed the shelves a bit before
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: leaving on its own. Even more surprising, the furry visitor
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: didn't damage any books or knock over any shelves. The
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: only thing missing, care to take a guess? The jar
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: of honey. That seems right on point. If only... If
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: only we could have worked in a, you know, picnic basket.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: That would have also been kind of nice to go
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: in all of this, wouldn't it? Florida man faces misdemeanor
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: charges after police say he was found walking naked through
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: a park next to an elementary school. Yeah, you don't
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: do that. Come on. This happened in St. Petersburg. His excuse, though,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: a little unexpected. Officers arrested 43-year-old Carlos Luis Miller Ramos, Oroka,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: who reportedly told police he thought he was participating in
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: a nude art exhibit and later said he believed he
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: was at a nude resort. School staff reportedly observed the
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: incident from across a fence. He was charged with exposure
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: of sexual organs and released on a $ 500 bond while
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: awaiting trial. Yeah, they don't tend to do nude art
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: exhibits often. Next to an elementary school. That would be the,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: like if you show up and you're like, all right,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: let's get naked for this art exhibit. And on the
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: way there, you pass an elementary school. You go through
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: a school zone and everything. Them speed cameras will get you,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: first of all, if you're naked. I don't think they do.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: They'll get you, though. I don't know if they have those.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I think they're popping up everywhere because it's a cash grab, right?
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: And then the other thing they don't tend to do
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: next to schools is have a nude resort. So, you know,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: nude beaches don't tend to be next to elementary schools.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: There's not a lot of nude anything next to schools.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Just keep that, just as a rule, like of any age.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Maybe a college could get away with it, but you're
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: not doing it by a high school. You're not doing
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: it by a middle school. Definitely not doing it by
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: an elementary school. That's just a rule of thumb there
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: moving forward. After the trial and the sentence and all that,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: you know. A suspected shoplifter's escape plan fell apart when
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: his alleged getaway driver did exactly what he was supposed
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to do. He got away. He just didn't take his
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: shoplifting partner. Police in Paramus, New Jersey, say that a
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: 22-year-old man filled three rolling suitcases with nearly $ 2, 200 worth
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: of clothing from marshals before trying to flee. Officers say
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: that the suspect ran toward a waiting car But the
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: driver sped away before he got to the car. That
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: led to a foot chase across busy Route 17 behind
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: a car dealership down an embankment and into a brook.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: That's where police made the arrest. Authorities discovered 56 stolen
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: clothing items and charged the suspect with organized retail theft.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: You don't want that disorganized retail theft charge. And it
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: sounds like they could have given him that based on
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: the whole activity case. with the getaway driver. That's not
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: very organized. But they're giving him the benefit of the
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: doubt by calling it organized retail theft. And then other
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: offenses on top of that. Police have not caught the
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: getaway driver, though. It's unclear whether they are continuing to
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: pursue him. Maybe he just had this epiphany. He had
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: this moment where he realized, I don't think I want
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: to be here anymore. I think maybe it's a good
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: idea if I just kind of You know, skedaddle. Well,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: if you're like me and my family, you struggle probably

  Speaker 2: a whole different thing. I've cooked Indian food. I've followed

  Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial... or residential,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
• 16:28

• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: for you. And while they're there, you can always ask
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: you need some repair work done to the outside door.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: door system. that you can put down and you can
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: come help. And they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: More West Carroll Morning Show right after the break. So
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: we're all familiar with this thing that happens when March
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: rolls around and college basketball, the tournament gets started, March
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Madness gets underway. And people just start either not showing
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: up for work or they show up for work, but
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: they're watching basketball instead of getting any actual work done.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: And it's this huge dip that the accounting firms say
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: tells how much productivity is lost because of March Madness. Well,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: an economics professor has done the numbers and now believes
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: that the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 is will
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: be responsible for $ 1 billion in lost productivity as employees
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: will be skipping work to play the long-anticipated game. It's
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: coming out next month, and it seemed like it was
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: like the Wu-Tang CD. You didn't know when it was
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: going to come out. Back in the mid-' 90s, you just
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: didn't know when that new Wu was going to drop.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: I guess it was the late-' 90s. They had a flood
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: at the Wu Mansion. And they just, all of the
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: tapes were destroyed. It finally came out. This is the
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: same basic thing. There was probably a flood at Grand
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Theft Auto 6 headquarters. I don't know. That's a lot.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: A billion dollars in lost productivity with people driving cars.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: And it's going to have some nudity in it. Brace yourselves.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: You need to know that if you're going to have
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: your kids playing this game. It's not a game for kids.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: There is going to be nudity and some potential graphic issues.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: nudity in it. I don't think they've said how much,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: but there's going to be some, you know, you know,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? How you doing? Some of
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: that stuff, some of that, aye-yay-yay, you know. Get ready.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: It's going to be there.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: So don't buy it for the kids, and then they'll
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: not go to work and lose a billion dollars on
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: top of that. Cops in Southern California are investigating an
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: epic heist when thieves broke into a FedEx truck parked
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: outside the Professional Sports Authenticator facility in Santa Ana, making
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: off nearly a million dollars in high-value trading cards. Sounds
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: like something for strange and bizarre news, doesn't it? The
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: driver reportedly left the truck unattended before suspects broke the
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: lock and cleared out two full pallets containing rare sports
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: and Pokemon cards. Police estimate the stolen goods at roughly $ 963, 000.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Industry collectors suspect the actual market value could easily stretch
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: into the millions. And yet, it still doesn't total the
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: amount of money that will be blown in productivity because
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: of Grand Theft Auto 6. A few weeks ago, electric
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: vehicle company Rivian offered customers a Ghostbusters-themed software update for Halloween.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: And recently, Tesla rolled out their own Halloween-themed software update,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: turning its vehicles into spooky haunted houses on wheels ahead
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: of the holiday. The update features a ghost costume screen avatar,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: spooky lock sounds, and an exterior trick-or-treat mode that plays
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: scary noises and flashes their lights when people approach a
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: parked vehicle. While driving, the vehicle's touchscreen displays nearby cars
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: as glowing phantoms, pedestrians as zombies, and bicyclists as riding skeletons,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: while turn signals sound like hooting owls.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: So.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: You know, it's a thing. I mean, it's like changing
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: a ringtone for the Halloween. Speaking of which, note to self,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: need to switch it over to the Halloween movie theme
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: song because I haven't done that yet for some reason.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: I got to get on top of that. So yeah,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: that sounds like fun. If you're a Tesla driver, that
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: seems like something that you could do. A team of
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: researchers in Italy are testing a swarm of mini robots
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: designed to track down and clean up dangerous space debris
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: orbiting the Earth. The Starbots will be programmed to surround
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: and capture tumbling inactive satellites and space junk. If they
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: pull this off, they get the Starbots operational. It'll be
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: a huge deal. The swarms will work together to safely
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: clear space lines. This is serious stuff because there's been
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: cases where the International Space Station gets hit and they go,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: is this a problem? What's going on? If you saw
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: that movie Gravity... with Sandra Bullock, and she was an astronaut.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: This all came into play in that movie as well.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was a little different reasoning behind it.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: So this is some good work that's being done there,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: assuming this is all something that they can pull off.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: And finally, inspired by the social media trend that suggests
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: salty french fries and a cold diet Coke is the
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: ultimate hangover helper, McDonald's set up the giant FryAid gift
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: card dispensers in college cities of Ann Arbor, Atlanta, and
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Baton Rouge to help students recover after homecoming weekends. Students
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: in those cities were able to drop by and grab
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: a free McDonald's gift card while fans nationwide get free
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: fries with any $ 1 purchase through the McDonald's app through
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: the end of the year. So there you go. That'll
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: do it for this Friday edition of the show. Thanks
