Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the Wes
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carroll Morning Show.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Friday morning, 16th day of October. I'm Wes. Thanks for
- 0:14Speaker 2: joining me. Friday means a lot of things. The weekend
- 0:20Speaker 2: is almost here. Cooler weather coming this weekend for us
- 0:27Speaker 2: in many parts of the country, but us here in
- 0:29Speaker 2: the Southeast can look forward to some slightly cooler weather.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Friday also means strange and bizarre news from around the world.
- 0:38Speaker 2: But before we do that, of course, we've got to
- 0:40Speaker 2: give you some positive news. Before I get to that,
- 0:42Speaker 2: I just want to quickly say this, and we'll talk
- 0:44Speaker 2: more about James Tallarico and that Texas race for Senate
- 0:49Speaker 2: next week, because I didn't get to it this week.
- 0:52Speaker 2: But he did this thing where in the middle of
- 0:55Speaker 2: this heated debate, race where they feel like, oh my gosh,
- 1:00Speaker 2: this could be one of the seats that ends up
- 1:04Speaker 2: turning the Senate for Democrats. And this is like one
- 1:08Speaker 2: of their rising stars. You know, they get these people
- 1:11Speaker 2: that they say are rising stars. And this is one
- 1:14Speaker 2: of them. They got him. They got Jack Ossoff in Georgia.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Who's the other one? They got another one. They got
- 1:27Speaker 2: these people they call– Raphael Warnock ends up being a
- 1:29Speaker 2: rising star all the time as Senator Urkel, Reverend Senator Urkel.
- 1:35Speaker 2: But this is one of those guys. This guy is–
- 1:39Speaker 2: they thought, oh, my gosh, he could turn this Senate seat.
- 1:42Speaker 2: And who knows? It's hard to imagine that a guy
- 1:46Speaker 2: who just comes in and just kind of makes up
- 1:48Speaker 2: his own rules for religion and people in Texas are
- 1:53Speaker 2: going to go, yeah, that sounds about right. I just,
- 1:56Speaker 2: I don't know. But anyway, in the midst of this race,
- 1:59Speaker 2: he just decided that he was going to take a
- 2:02Speaker 2: couple of weeks off. He says he had the flu.
- 2:06Speaker 2: There were some rumors that he had checked himself into
- 2:09Speaker 2: a place for stress and anxiety and some mental rest.
- 2:13Speaker 2: I don't want to get into the rumors in that
- 2:15Speaker 2: because if he needed that and that's what he did, well,
- 2:17Speaker 2: then that's what he should do. If he did not
- 2:22Speaker 2: do that and he just had the flu and he
- 2:24Speaker 2: just went AWOL on the campaign, that's a bigger concern.
- 2:27Speaker 2: The people that wanted to make a bigger deal about
- 2:29Speaker 2: a guy maybe getting some mental health, I think that's
- 2:34Speaker 2: less of a deal than just checking himself off the
- 2:36Speaker 2: campaign trail. But he's had like a town hall thing
- 2:41Speaker 2: and he got put in his place by a lady
- 2:43Speaker 2: about Catholicism and religion. I thought it was good. We'll
- 2:47Speaker 2: talk more about him coming up, but I just think
- 2:49Speaker 2: it's interesting that the guy said he had the flu,
- 2:51Speaker 2: yet did absolutely nothing for his campaign for two weeks.
- 2:55Speaker 2: No tweets, no social media, nothing at all, and yet
- 3:01Speaker 2: he is a rising star. So he may have lost
- 3:03Speaker 2: the rising star status on things, but we'll do more
- 3:08Speaker 2: on that next week because it's Friday, and we've got
- 3:10Speaker 2: to talk about some positivity first. Some positivity. Let's go
- 3:18Speaker 2: to Florida, you know, for a positive story. Firefighters in
- 3:23Speaker 2: Palm Beach County, Florida, have done a shelter dog charity
- 3:28Speaker 2: calendar that will help local animals find forever homes. The
- 3:33Speaker 2: first run of the calendar last year was a big success,
- 3:36Speaker 2: resulting in plenty of buzz about shelter animals. And a $ 10, 000
- 3:40Speaker 2: donation this year, Palm Beach County Fire, Rescue, and Animal
- 3:43Speaker 2: Care and Control Foundation Teamed up again for another full-color calendar,
- 3:47Speaker 2: firefighters and EMTs stepping outside their comfort zones to model
- 3:51Speaker 2: with adoptable dogs and cats. Firefighter Jose Besosa says, I'm
- 3:57Speaker 2: a little excited but a little nervous, but it's for
- 4:00Speaker 2: a great cause. Organizers held a kickoff event for the
- 4:03Speaker 2: calendar campaign over the weekend, allowing the public a chance
- 4:08Speaker 2: to help decide which firefighter and dog duo will be
- 4:12Speaker 2: featured each month of the calendar. Everyone involved has high
- 4:16Speaker 2: hopes with a goal of doubling their fundraising goal up
- 4:19Speaker 2: to $ 20, 000 this year. This is not normally my kind
- 4:23Speaker 2: of calendar, but if it's for a good cause, doesn't
- 4:28Speaker 2: mean I'm going to hang one on my wall, but
- 4:31Speaker 2: kudos to them for the idea, the marketing strategy, everything
- 4:34Speaker 2: involved with this. I like it. Nice work there. Eric
- 4:40Speaker 2: Thalacker and Kyla Dickey had spent... preparing for their wedding
- 4:47Speaker 2: at South Fork Lodge in Loman, Idaho. But on their
- 4:51Speaker 2: big day, they were supposed to, you know, go and say,
- 4:54Speaker 2: I do. They had a problem. There was a car
- 4:56Speaker 2: accident that closed the freeway, cutting off the route back
- 5:01Speaker 2: to the lodge. With the ceremony approaching and an estimated
- 5:05Speaker 2: four-hour wait, the couple needed a way around the closures.
- 5:09Speaker 2: So a wedding hero, Garrett Kerr is his name, stepped
- 5:13Speaker 2: up to save the day. Garrett was able to help
- 5:15Speaker 2: Eric and Kyla ride around the 16-mile traffic backup using
- 5:19Speaker 2: a small electric pit bike and an all-terrain vehicle offered
- 5:23Speaker 2: up by another person ready to do a good deed.
- 5:26Speaker 2: The story says Samaritan. That's not the right word. It's
- 5:30Speaker 2: just not. We don't use that word correctly. On the scene,
- 5:34Speaker 2: and a woman, this particular other do-gooder, not a Samaritan,
- 5:39Speaker 2: It was named Jessica. So while their hair was a
- 5:42Speaker 2: little messy and, you know, it was a wild ride,
- 5:45Speaker 2: a lot of wind, Eric and Kyla reached the lodge
- 5:49Speaker 2: in time for the ceremony. When Eric finally stood at
- 5:52Speaker 2: the altar looking at Kyla, he was not as stressed.
- 5:56Speaker 2: He was quite the opposite. He said, I remember just
- 5:59Speaker 2: like looking at her and seeing the mountain backdrop and
- 6:03Speaker 2: just being like, this is awesome. This is my wife.
- 6:06Speaker 2: We're going to live a long, awesome life together. We
- 6:08Speaker 2: love each other, and it's going to be great. Nice
- 6:11Speaker 2: job to the non-Samaritan people doing good deeds. Like Samaritans,
- 6:16Speaker 2: they're supposed to be people that you would think they
- 6:19Speaker 2: would hate each other. That's what makes the Samaritan story special.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Not just, you know, just a Red Sox and a
- 6:29Speaker 2: Yankees fan helping each other out. That's Samaritan level. Auburn, Alabama. Auburn, Georgia. Alabama, Georgia.
- 6:37Speaker 2: That's what you need. That makes it a Samaritan story.
- 6:42Speaker 2: Not just someone doing a good deed for crying out loud.
- 6:45Speaker 2: All right, let's get to some strange and bizarre news.
- 6:49Speaker 2: What do you say we start in Florida? Where a man,
- 6:55Speaker 2: not so much into flower power or the age of Aquarius,
- 6:57Speaker 2: but he made his feelings known about that at a
- 6:59Speaker 2: public store in Punta Gorda. Police say 47-year-old Ramsey Thomas
- 7:04Speaker 2: Lyons allegedly attacked a 70-year-old shopper with a box cutter
- 7:08Speaker 2: because he thought the man looked like he was from
- 7:11Speaker 2: the 1960s. That's a decade that Lyons reportedly said he disliked.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Authorities say the victim suffered a cut to his face
- 7:22Speaker 2: that required multiple stitches. Lyons was arrested at the scene
- 7:25Speaker 2: and charged with aggravated battery on a person 65 or older.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Police say the victim and suspect did not know each
- 7:33Speaker 2: other and that the victim was chosen at random while shopping.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Couldn't have been at random because he came right out
- 7:38Speaker 2: of the 60s. That's not random if he didn't look
- 7:42Speaker 2: like one of those hippies. One of those long-haired hippies.
- 7:48Speaker 2: I don't know that he had long hair. A lottery
- 7:50Speaker 2: player in North Carolina likely thought they were being cute
- 7:54Speaker 2: when playing the numbers 0-0-0 in the pick-three drawing, but
- 7:58Speaker 2: those numbers came up. And when they were shocked to
- 8:02Speaker 2: learn that nearly 5,000 others had the same idea, officials
- 8:06Speaker 2: with the North Carolina Education Lottery say 4,917 winning tickets
- 8:14Speaker 2: with the numbers triple zero were sold. And they will
- 8:19Speaker 2: all share the grand prize of $ 1.
- 8:20Speaker 1: 7 million.
- 8:21Speaker 2: That works out to either $ 250 or $ 500, depending on
- 8:22Speaker 2: whether they paid $ 1 or 50 cents for the ticket
- 8:31Speaker 2: The lottery says the combinations of three of the same
- 8:34Speaker 2: numbers are actually the most popular sets of numbers played.
- 8:39Speaker 2: My question is, 0-0-0, it's a pick three, and there's
- 8:45Speaker 2: a $ 1. 7 million prize? Maybe it's just rolled up several times,
- 8:51Speaker 2: or I don't really know how any of this stuff works,
- 8:54Speaker 2: but that seems like a lot for picking three numbers.
- 8:57Speaker 2: I think I could pick three numbers. Okay, maybe not. Uh,
- 9:03Speaker 2: traffic came with a large side of fries along a
- 9:08Speaker 2: stretch of highway in Utah over the weekend. A truckload
- 9:13Speaker 2: of French fries went up in smoke. State Route 6
- 9:15Speaker 2: after investigators say a problem with the trailer's axle likely
- 9:19Speaker 2: sparked a blaze. The driver safely disconnected the burning trailer
- 9:24Speaker 2: before the fire could spread into the truck. No injuries
- 9:29Speaker 2: were reported. The sheriff joked the deputies resisted the urge
- 9:32Speaker 2: to bring ketchup to the scene, adding that while nobody
- 9:35Speaker 2: was hurt, it was sad to lose the french fries.
- 9:39Speaker 2: I would hope if he's making jokes, that should be
- 9:41Speaker 2: an indicator that nobody was hurt. You know, if he
- 9:45Speaker 2: comes in cracking jokes, that's not in good taste at all.
- 9:49Speaker 2: So that's a good indicator that everybody's okay. A bull
- 9:54Speaker 2: moose in Montana found out that if you don't know
- 9:57Speaker 2: how to skate, you should stay out of the skateboard
- 10:00Speaker 2: The moose wandered into a skate park, slipped on one
- 10:03Speaker 2: of the bowls and could not get back out. Wildlife
- 10:06Speaker 2: officials had to be called in and it took them
- 10:08Speaker 2: several hours to sedate the oversized skater and safely pull
- 10:13Speaker 2: him out. Once he came to, he was returned to
- 10:16Speaker 2: the wild and advised to stay away from from skate parks.
- 10:21Speaker 2: Probably a good idea for most moose. Doesn't seem like
- 10:24Speaker 2: a good plan to get back out there. And I mean,
- 10:28Speaker 2: even if they had a good board, you don't want
- 10:30Speaker 2: to get involved with all of that, right? A South
- 10:34Speaker 2: Carolina woman suing a funeral home after she says the
- 10:37Speaker 2: wrong body was placed in her mother's casket before a
- 10:40Speaker 2: scheduled viewing. Yikes. According to the lawsuit, Iris Gordon paid
- 10:46Speaker 2: more than $ 13, 800 to Ocean View Funeral Home and Cremation
- 10:50Speaker 2: Services for her mother's funeral arrangements. When family members arrived
- 10:55Speaker 2: at the viewing, they allegedly found an unknown person dressed
- 10:58Speaker 2: in her mother's clothing lying in the casket. The lawsuit
- 11:02Speaker 2: claims a funeral home owner later admitted the mistake had
- 11:04Speaker 2: been made. Yeah, I think you got caught. I don't
- 11:08Speaker 2: think you have to admit it. It's either her or
- 11:11Speaker 2: it's not, right? The viewing was rescheduled the same day
- 11:15Speaker 2: with the correct body. Phew! Thank goodness they still had it.
- 11:20Speaker 2: Gordon says the incident caused severe emotional distress, anxiety, depression,
- 11:24Speaker 2: and sleep problems, and she is seeking a refund and
- 11:28Speaker 2: additional damages. The funeral home has not publicly responded to
- 11:32Speaker 2: the allegations. Yeah, this could have been worse, believe it
- 11:38Speaker 2: or not. I mean, what if there was a.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Ceremony with a closed casket and she'd already gone in
- 11:46Speaker 2: the ground and there was nobody to even point that
- 11:49Speaker 2: one out so you know i don't know everybody's into
- 11:52Speaker 2: the open casket thing but it might not be a
- 11:54Speaker 2: bad idea just take a peek just to make sure
- 11:57Speaker 2: you're going to the right grave site later right an
- 12:00Speaker 2: iowa woman faces charges after police say she used a
- 12:03Speaker 2: stolen credit card information to rent bounce houses for father's
- 12:07Speaker 2: day and fourth of july parties Investigators allege the Reynolds
- 12:12Speaker 2: left the inflatable company with more than $ 1, 300 in losses
- 12:15Speaker 2: after chargebacks. Police say evidence linked the orders to the
- 12:19Speaker 2: woman through phone numbers, email accounts, and a park reservation
- 12:22Speaker 2: connected to the events. She denied placing the orders, but
- 12:26Speaker 2: now faces theft and unauthorized credit card use charges. In
- 12:32Speaker 2: a case that's definitely taken the bounce out of the party,
- 12:36Speaker 2: she's been released on bond while awaiting arraignment. Uh, yeah, that's, uh,
- 12:45Speaker 2: I mean, you're going to get caught. You're renting them
- 12:48Speaker 2: for a party. You're good. It's not like she used
- 12:51Speaker 2: them and, you know, got some gas or whatever and
- 12:55Speaker 2: went on or went and bought a small item and
- 12:57Speaker 2: went on. You might get away with that. Maybe you'll
- 13:00Speaker 2: get away with that bounce house for a party. You
- 13:03Speaker 2: made a reservation for now. A Wisconsin woman faces felony
- 13:08Speaker 2: charges after allegedly pulling off the world's worst career day.
- 13:11Speaker 2: Authorities say 23-year-old Amy Jones walked into her former Milwaukee
- 13:17Speaker 2: high school pretending to be a substitute teacher. She spent
- 13:20Speaker 2: nearly three class periods insulting students, using profanity, making inappropriate comments,
- 13:26Speaker 2: generally acting like someone who definitely was not a substitute teacher.
- 13:31Speaker 2: Students say she called one teen fat boy, asked another
- 13:34Speaker 2: if she wanted to be a stripper, and even grouped
- 13:36Speaker 2: students by race and gender while making offensive remarks. The
- 13:39Speaker 2: ruse came to an end when school administrators called on
- 13:42Speaker 2: and had her escorted out. Police say Jones later admitted
- 13:46Speaker 2: she went to the school because she was bored and
- 13:48Speaker 2: wanted to mess around. Officials say she got lucky because
- 13:52Speaker 2: several teachers had called out sick that day, creating an
- 13:55Speaker 2: opening she apparently treated like a casting call. She now
- 13:58Speaker 2: faces six felony charges, including impersonating a public employee. In
- 14:03Speaker 2: other words, maybe the first case where someone got arrested
- 14:06Speaker 2: for fake it till you make it activities, because that's
- 14:11Speaker 2: a bit much. Today's show brought to you by Columbus

- 14:28Speaker 2: for school-age kids as school-age kids visit the Coca-Cola Space
- 14:32Speaker 2: Science Center, but they also do it through their university

- 15:03Speaker 2: Columbus State University called Music Under the Dome. It's unlike
- 15:06Speaker 2: any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's
- 15:10Speaker 2: one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
- 15:13Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia? I mean,
- 15:16Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
- 15:22Speaker 2: in Columbus and Inside the planetarium at the Coca-Cola Space
- 15:26Speaker 2: Science Center and the new season of Music Under the Dome.

- 15:40Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get somewhere outside the city lights.
- 15:44Speaker 2: You don't want any light interference, and you can do
- 15:46Speaker 2: that as well. Upcoming astronomy night events also on their website.
- 15:50Speaker 2: It's CCSSC.org. As Sean Cruzan says, CharlieCharlieSamSamCharlie.org. I just remind

- 16:05Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
- 16:08Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial... or residential,
- 16:12Speaker 2: maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
- 16:17Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
- 16:20Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
- 16:24Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away
- 16:27Speaker 2: for you. And while they're there, you can always ask
- 16:29Speaker 2: them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
- 16:32Speaker 2: like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb
- 16:36Speaker 2: appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and
- 16:38Speaker 2: you need some repair work done to the outside door.
- 16:41Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
- 16:44Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
- 16:48Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
- 16:51Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
- 16:54Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
- 16:58Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
- 17:00Speaker 2: door system. that you can put down and you can
- 17:03Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor,
- 17:08Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
- 17:09Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 17:12Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
- 17:13Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
- 17:16Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
- 17:18Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
- 17:21Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
- 17:25Speaker 2: your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
- 17:27Speaker 2: come help. And they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.
- 17:38Speaker 2: More West Carroll Morning Show right after the break. Well,
- 17:49Speaker 2: if you're a fan of Pringles, have I got a
- 17:55Speaker 2: story for you. A Halloween-themed sweepstakes from Pringles giving one
- 18:00Speaker 2: superfan a chance to take brand loyalty to a new level.
- 18:04Speaker 2: The company offering a one-of-a-kind Pringles can-shaped urn complete with
- 18:11Speaker 2: a personalized engraving plus what it calls an after-lifetime supply
- 18:16Speaker 2: of chips estimated at 200 years worth. Fans can enter onceyoudrop.com.
- 18:24Speaker 2: You know, they're all once you pop. Through October 22nd,
- 18:27Speaker 2: by signing a tongue-in-cheek will and testament online, the winner
- 18:33Speaker 2: will be announced on Halloween. The promotion inspired by the
- 18:36Speaker 2: late inventor of the Pringles can, Frederick Bauer. I hope
- 18:41Speaker 2: that's him on the can. That was a slip, but
- 18:44Speaker 2: I hope that's it. Who helped develop the iconic packaging
- 18:47Speaker 2: back in the 1960s. When he died in 2008, part
- 18:49Speaker 2: of his ashes were buried in an original Pringles can
- 18:53Speaker 2: at his request. It's So, uh, yeah, I mean, I
- 18:58Speaker 2: would guess he's a big enough fan for that being
- 19:01Speaker 2: that he designed the can, but, uh, yeah, it's, uh,
- 19:04Speaker 2: it's kind of a unique looking urn. So if you're into,
- 19:09Speaker 2: I like Pringles. I don't know that I'd want to
- 19:12Speaker 2: be buried in a Pringles can, but, uh, you know, it's,
- 19:15Speaker 2: it's better than, uh, you know, paying for a coffin
- 19:19Speaker 2: or paying for, uh, an actual urn. Right. So. House
- 19:25Speaker 2: hunters consider many factors when choosing a new home. Schools,
- 19:30Speaker 2: safe neighborhoods, commute. But apparently there's a new must-have that
- 19:37Speaker 2: is going on many lists for different people shopping for homes. Costco's.
- 19:43Speaker 2: And apparently it's gotten such a loyal following in a
- 19:49Speaker 2: number of cities. that shoppers are choosing where to live
- 19:52Speaker 2: based on how close they live to a store and
- 19:56Speaker 2: valuing easy access to bulk bargains, gas discounts, and those
- 20:00Speaker 2: famously cheap hot dogs. Trend influencing real estate conversations, proximity
- 20:05Speaker 2: to a Costco becoming a selling point. added to listings
- 20:09Speaker 2: in some markets. So, you know, central air, nice big garage,
- 20:15Speaker 2: a pool, nice to have. Costco minutes away could help
- 20:18Speaker 2: seal the deal. And on top of that, for some
- 20:21Speaker 2: Costco shoppers, they say unloading groceries has become such an
- 20:26Speaker 2: ordeal that a growing number of homeowners paying an extra $ 1, 000
- 20:29Speaker 2: to install what's being referred to as a Costco door,
- 20:34Speaker 2: a small opening between the garage and the pantry, that
- 20:37Speaker 2: lets them slide giant bulk purchases straight through into the house.
- 20:42Speaker 2: The trend has taken off on social media. Some builders
- 20:45Speaker 2: say that about half their customers now ask for the
- 20:48Speaker 2: feature once they see it. Fans say they're game changers
- 20:51Speaker 2: for unloading giant packs of paper towels, cases of drinks,
- 20:55Speaker 2: and other oversized grocery hauls. That's dedication to Costco. So,
- 21:03Speaker 2: Who is really deciding your holiday travel plans this year? Well, apparently,
- 21:08Speaker 2: it's your pet. New survey from Subaru found pets are
- 21:10Speaker 2: having a huge influence on where, when, and how Americans travel.
- 21:15Speaker 2: In fact, 73% of pet owners say they're more likely
- 21:18Speaker 2: to drive instead of fly so they can bring their
- 21:21Speaker 2: pet along. Nearly 70% said their pet will affect their
- 21:25Speaker 2: holiday travel plans this year. 45% saying that they've turned
- 21:29Speaker 2: down travel opportunities that could not accommodate their pet. More
- 21:33Speaker 2: than one in four pet owners say they may change
- 21:36Speaker 2: their holiday travel plans because of their pet, whether that
- 21:39Speaker 2: means hosting instead of traveling, shortening or simplifying a trip
- 21:42Speaker 2: to care for their pet, or skipping some gatherings if
- 21:46Speaker 2: their pet can't join. Gen Z and millennials more likely
- 21:50Speaker 2: to bring their pet home for the holidays than Gen
- 21:54Speaker 2: X and boomers, and more than half the respondents said
- 21:57Speaker 2: they'd actually rather road trip with their pet than just
- 22:01Speaker 2: go with another person. That'll do it for this Friday
