• 0:57
  Speaker 2: this Friday together, and I'll give you is some uh
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: you know, something to help at least kill a half
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: an hour of your day. How about that you can
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: always listen to a couple of shows. You can always
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: go over to Met the Stars. We can get through
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: this day giving you some stuff to listen to. Uh.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Let's start with some positive news. I like this story
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: a lot. There's a preschool teacher. Uh. This is Slinker
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Schlinker School in Houston Schlinker. I guess that's how you
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: say that. The preschool teacher's name was Zoe Kompf, and
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: she was going in to school to work. She was
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: thought she was going in to teach, play with the kids.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Preschoolers have fun ABC's and shapes and colors and all
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: the things preschool teachers do. It's the foundation, right. I
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: run into some of my kids preschool teachers, even their
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: very first teacher for like Mother's Morning out, laying the
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: foundation for my kids and their education. Appreciate all the
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: work that preschool teachers do. It really is one of
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: those like you're really into it and you're zeroed in
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: when the kids are there, and then they become this
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: distant memory. And I try to make sure that is
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: not the case for our preschool teachers that we try
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: to stay in touch with when we can't. All Right,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: So this teacher went in to do their thing, get
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the kids going, and I say colors and shapes and
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: numbers and letters, but it's also about getting them on
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: a schedule, right, That's a big part of all of it.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: So she goes in and she walks in on a surprise.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: It was not a regular day. There was a many
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: bridal shower that was being thrown by her preschool students.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: This was all organized by her fiance, Sean Folder, who
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: recruited the students to help pull off the surprise, which
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: featured a classroom full of kids dressed in floral tiaras
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: and bow ties. Celebration was extra special because Zoe and
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Sean actually attended the same pre school together decades ago.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Shawn's grandmother, the school's longest tenured teacher, is one of
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the people who played the role in the I Guess.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: She was the matchmaker for the two of them, and
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: they got engaged at the end of twenty twenty four
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: and they're set to get married in I Guess later
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: this month. So kind of a full circle moment for them,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: their families, the school, the community. Pretty cool that they
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: could share all this moment with the students for Zoe's class,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and a nice job by Sean. I'd say this is
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: all just one of those good stories. Another quick positive story,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: and this is about a guy named David Dominguez Kathy, Texas.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: He got laid off from his job had some free time.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: He wanted to do something special with his time. So
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: he started visiting farmers' markets on the weekend. His idea
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: was to find vendors with no customers, learn their stories,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: film short, genuine conversations with the vendors, and post the
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: videos on social media with a tag only buying from
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: vendors with no customers. That act of kindness brought a
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: lot of attention and orders to different businesses as different
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: people across the country started seeing the videos and started
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: ordering things. So David talked to someone named Donna Thompson,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: who ran a small business called Donna's Jerky. That video
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: got more than thirty three million views on TikTok and
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: resulted in Donna waking up the next morning to more
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: than two thousand orders from across the country. David Hobby
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: grew into a weekly mission. He now travels across Texas
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: places like Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, El Paso. He is
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: excited to help more small business owners like Donna. He explained.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: When I started seeing I could help businesses, I thought
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: maybe I could make some content and help them out.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: In that way. They catch my attention and I try
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: to help them out as much as I can. People
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: helping people, all right, that's as much positivity as I
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: can handle. Let's jump into some strange and bizarre news
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: from around the country. We start in Virginia. Middle school
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: teacher in northern Virginia. Uh, probably not gonna win Teacher
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: of the Year, authority say. The teacher at Ripon Middle
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: School in Woodbridge allegedly got upset with an eleven year
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: old student and threw her shoe at him. In some cultures,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: that is like the most offensive thing you can do.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: It's not considered nice here. Witnesses say she was speaking
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: with the boy when she suddenly reached down, took off
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: her shoe, chucked it at him. The flying footwear hit
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: him in the hand, causing a minor injury. Following an investigation,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: police arrested the thirty seven year old her name Delia Pruitt,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: and charged her with assault and battery. Probably not gonna
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: win Teacher of the Year. Probably not, Probably not even
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: gonna be a finalist, that's my guess. When the drinking
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: age in Wisconsin is twenty one, that doesn't mean twenty
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: one times over the legal limit, as a driver recently
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: found out. Police say that a man was arrested after
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: he was pulled over and recorded a blood alcohol level
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: over zero point four to two percent. Because he had
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: a previous drunk driving conviction, he was required to stay
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: under point h two percent. That means he was about
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: twenty one times over his legal limit. Pretty amazing that
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: he was even conscious at point four to two. Police
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: had him transported to a hospital for medical care before
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: being taken into custody, facing several charges, including second offense,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: operating while intoxicated, failure to install an ignition interlock device,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: and operating a vehicle with a revoked license. This is
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: someone who is very skilled in drinking, right. This isn't
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: someone who's coming in like ature hour. You're drinking zer
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: point four to two percent and you're able to operate
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: a vehicle. Obviously he wasn't operating it well if he
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: was pulled over, and he shouldn't have been driving at all.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: But my point is the fact that he wasn't like
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: immediately crashing it into something, and as you know, pretty
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: remarkable that he was even awake at all. This is
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: a veteran drinker, is what I'm saying. This is someone
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: who is skilled at drinking, lots of experience. I assume
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think this was his first time. Well, it
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: definitely wasn't this first. I don't think it was his
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: second time. Officials in Saint Louis have an update on
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: a mysterious group of vervet monkeys on the loose in
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the city, and it's not that they've been captured. It's
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: just that the story's gotten wild or Residents started reporting
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: sightings of these rare monkeys last week and it now
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: appears that they have an accomplice. There's a small black
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: and white goat that has joined the sounds like a
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Disney movie. You can say it's scary, you can say
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: that it's terrifying and people are losing their minds in
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the city, whatever you want to say. But it's a
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: group of monkeys and they have a goat that is
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: now part of their crew. Animal control officers are wondering
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: just how many animals are on the loose in the
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Gateway city. They also have no idea where the animals
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: came from. No one has claimed ownership of them. The
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Health Department says that the search for the goat and
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: monkeys has been complicated by AI generated photos of them
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: that are turning up on social media again, people trying
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: to have fun with this are making it more complicated,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: but it's kind of special. I would like to see.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I would watch this movie. Would you not watch a movie,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: an animated feature about this crew, about these monkeys and
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: this goat.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I would.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I would absolutely be all over this. That's what I'm saying.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: All Right, this is one of those stories. This is
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: in China. It's not like this is just I'm giving
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: you a heads up if you're having your cereal. All Right,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say the word rectum. I mean I just did,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to say it again. So and I'm
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: going to say it as many times as i need
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: to to tell this story. But this is a story
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: that involves a man in China and his rectum. All right,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: that's two. We'll see how many more we have to
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: do to make this work. All right, Doctors in China,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: we're stunned. When a sixty one year old man arrived
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: at the hospital with a severe abdominal pain, they ran
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: some scans and surgeons discovered that he had a large
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: sweet potato a yam lodged inside his you got it,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: his rectum to the hospital staff, and man admitted he
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: had put the sweet potato in there. Out of boredom
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: late at night, and then he went to sleep, and
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: then he woke up hours later in intense pain. His
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: attempts to get it out himself failed, so he went
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: to the hospital. Standard medical techniques failed to remove it safely.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Surgeons had to perform an abdominal operation to extract the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: sweet potato from his rectum, and doctor say the patient
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: insisted that the incident was just an accident. Uh, all right,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you want to give the guy the
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: benefit of the doubt, that's what you should do. I mean,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: why else would you stick a sweet potato any rectum?
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: What would possess someone to do that? I can't think
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: of anything. I got nothing, I got nothing at all.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Authorities in Harris County, Texas say that a woman faces
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: charges after she set fire to her boyfriend's clothes and
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: burned down thirteen apartments. The Fire Marshall's office reporting that
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: cruise were called to the apartment complex after a blaze
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: broke out on a balcony. Investigators learned that the fire
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: started during a domestic dispute when a woman tried burning
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: her boyfriend's clothes in a barbecue pit. Officials say that
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: she believed she had put the fire out, but it reignited.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: It spread into the attic and moved through the building.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: In total, thirteen apartments damaged by flame, smoke, or water,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: and part of the second floor collapsed. Fortunately, no residents
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: were injured. The woman, identified as Crystal Randall, had been
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: charged with arson. She was taken to the hospital for
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: undisclosed reasons. Later in the day, of firefighter was injured
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: while putting out the hot spot from the same fire.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: That firefighter in stable condition. Randall facing an additional charge
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: of assault on a public servant. This is one of
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: those stories that you just go, what are you What
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: are you doing? You're burning your ex's clothes or whatever,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: and you're doing it inside a barbecue grill, and you're
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: not properly putting the thing out. What are we doing here?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: What exactly, what exactly is going on here? I don't understand.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I don't get what's going on here. But all of
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: that said, it makes more sense than a grown man
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: putting a sweet potato in his rectum. Today's show brought

  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to

  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation

  Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's

• 16:04
  Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: the break, all right, help me out with this one.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: There's a coming from the makers I guess of natural
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Light or they're sponsoring this at the very least. It's
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: a new treadmill that allows you to simulate mowing your lawn,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: and it's called the Treadmower. They're touting this as a
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: first of its kind treadmill designed to look and feel
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: like a lawnmower. The machine features a custom mower deck
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: with a grass textured belt and immersive screen that simulates
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: a never ending lawn, so you can mow even when
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: your yard is buried in snow. No, you're not going
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: to find it at the gym. Basically, the only one
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: of its kind that exists will be won by a
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: fan that goes to the Natty Light social media contest
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: before the end of the month. I guess January twenty eighth.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: So help me out with this because one of the things.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Now I understand the value in the treadmill. I get that.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: What I don't understand is what is the benefit of
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: pretending that you are mowing your grass. It's not like
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: that's something that people want to do. I'll be honest,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: and looking at it, it actually looks like something that
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: would be You'd find it on you know, April first,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: and you'd say this isn't real, But apparently it is,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: and you can enter to win it. So I guess
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: in that sense it's a good promotional thing. I just
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: can't even imagine wanting to do something that simulates an
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: activity that you don't even like to do. I mean,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: make a scenario where you're walking on a boardwalk and
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: there's you know, lots of people in bathing suits, that's
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: you know, bikinis or whatever. That to me would be
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: more of a like, hey, let's get on the old treadmill.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Just saying I don't understand the idea of just an
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: endless lawn demo. That doesn't sound fun at all. Instead
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: of fighting a losing battle with shampoo sprays and strategic hats,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: more and more men are choosing bald max so basically
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: you just embrace hair loss and shave it off. Black
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: guys been doing this for a long time, making it
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: look real good. I'm just saying they've been doing it,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: and some guys don't want to do this. Some guys
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: fight it and resist it all the way in the end.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: But let's be honest. This somewhere in the eighties, a
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: lot of black guys made this cool. They made it work.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: The Michael Jordan's of the world. They just made it work.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: So I guess the whole idea here is that you
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: embrace it rather than deal with the psychological stress and
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: fighting it and trying not to be bald. So a
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: lot more guys, I guess, are leaning into the look.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know that this is a new thing, but
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: apparently maybe it's branching out into everybody can do it
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: and try to look good. There are some some white
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: dudes pull it off, you know, some do. Some look
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: like aliens, some look like thumbs. It's just the reality here.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: But you know, I would It's what I would do.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I know I would look like Charlie Brown or Ziggy.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: I accept that. I know it's not going to be
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: a good it's not going to be a great look
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: for me, but it's probably what I would do. I
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: get the idea of giving up on this fight and
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: pretending that you're going to be able to, you know,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: dig in and resist it. How about this trend of
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Valentine's Day trees that is caught on even more this year,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: and I guess some of the retailers Home Goods, Walmart, Target,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Michael's Pottery Barn and others selling Valentine's trees, we have
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: a house in our neighborhood has been doing this for years,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: and their's is very prominent in the window. Pink red
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: white lights on this thing. It looks fantastic in the window.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I'm all for it. It's not I mean, we feel
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: like when it's time to get the Christmas tree packed away,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: we pack it up way. So I don't see us
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: doing this anytime soon, but I like it as an idea.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: I think it's great, especially if you can get some
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: more life out of your tree or the whole. I mean,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: I know some people are doing this thing year round,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: any opportunity they have to keep their tree up. Good
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: for you. If you found yourself missing physical newspapers or
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: CDs or DVDs renting a movie, there's a new trend
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: in pop culture that may be just for you. According
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: to Forbes, twenty twenty six is the year of analog
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: living and an apparent pushback on artificial intelligence and social
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: media algorithms. Consumers are looking for less tech and more
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: honest experiences. Some of those experiences, according to a Yahoo survey,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: they ask people what they were swapping for analog, ditching
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: apps for actual notebooks and pens and paper calendars. And
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: writing letters and buying or going to a library for
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: physical books, board games, puzzles, old fashioned alarm clocks, grandma hobbies,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: they say, or another big thing needle point crocheting. Knitting
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: starting to surge in popularity, so you know, if you're
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: trying to get off the digital thing, that's some ways
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: you can do it. I wore a scarf today that
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: my cousin knitted for me a few years ago, and
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I will be wearing it a lot over the next
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: few days at the Cold Weather upon Us. That'll do
• 22:26
