Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
0:05
Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
0:08
Speaker 2: Friday morning, seventh day of March. West Thanks for joining me.
0:15
Speaker 2: Getting ready to roll on into the weekend, chewed off
0:17
Speaker 2: a week of the month of March already and love
0:22
Speaker 2: to get to some strange and bizarre news from around
0:25
Speaker 2: the world. But before we do that, I just want
0:26
Speaker 2: to mention just a little update relating to the speech
0:31
Speaker 2: the other night. Tuesday night, the President spoke, and you
0:35
Speaker 2: may have heard the very least that representative from Texas
0:41
Speaker 2: Al Green, got up in protest and shook his cane.
0:47
Speaker 2: You know, Ah, nothing looks like a grumpy old man
0:49
Speaker 2: like shaking a cane. Shook a cane at the President
0:52
Speaker 2: and kept interrupting him, and finally they had to escort
0:57
Speaker 2: him from the room. Some other there may have been
1:00
Speaker 2: some others escorted. I think he was the only one that,
1:03
Speaker 2: at least the only one they decided to censure, as
1:06
Speaker 2: they held a vote yesterday to censure him. Republicans I
1:10
Speaker 2: think voted in unison. Nine Democrats crossed over. And then
1:14
Speaker 2: at the moment when he was there to be he
1:18
Speaker 2: was supposed to come in and get get his stern
1:22
Speaker 2: talking to, because that's what they do, you know, they
1:26
Speaker 2: give you that stern talking to. And then he decided
1:29
Speaker 2: to sing we shall not be moved, and others jumped
1:33
Speaker 2: in to join him. And this all happened after they
1:37
Speaker 2: gave him an opportunity, I guess, to speak about the
1:41
Speaker 2: whole thing. And he said that he would do it again, gladly.
1:45
Speaker 2: He would do what he did to the president again
1:47
Speaker 2: and again and again. And then he also said, loving
1:51
Speaker 2: you forever is what I need. No, he didn't say that,
1:57
Speaker 2: that's the other al Green's, that's the best Algreen I got. Sorry,
2:03
Speaker 2: I've never worked I've never worked on an al Green,
2:07
Speaker 2: so you know, you just kind of do it on
2:11
Speaker 2: the fly sometimes anyway. So, yeah, the censer took place.
2:15
Speaker 2: Maybe they should have sang that with him in in
2:20
Speaker 2: the middle of the room. That would have gone better
2:21
Speaker 2: than we shall not be moved, I think so. Yeah.
2:26
Speaker 2: And apparently obstructing being able to finish finish the center process,
2:30
Speaker 2: I guess itself is worthy of censure. So I don't know,
2:33
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going to go on. I just
2:35
Speaker 2: know that we got chaos going on right now with
2:39
Speaker 2: the opposition, So and the opposition would say there's chaos
2:43
Speaker 2: going on with the party in power. So I guess
2:47
Speaker 2: some people maybe you're just dreaming back to the old
2:50
Speaker 2: days when we had a god napping in the Oval
2:54
Speaker 2: office and his wife and others were running things, the meetings,
2:57
Speaker 2: and they were handing in papers to sign, and he
3:00
Speaker 2: wasn't even aware that he was signing them. So who knows?
3:05
Speaker 2: Who knows? All right, I want to start with this
3:09
Speaker 2: Cheetos story. This is a good story. A Now, I'm
3:15
Speaker 2: not a Pokemon guys, so you have to excuse me
3:17
Speaker 2: that if I get some of these names incorrect, or
3:20
Speaker 2: this one name incorrect, I'm familiar. I've read the name
3:24
Speaker 2: of the card. I think it's called Charizard. This is
3:28
Speaker 2: one of the big ones, right, I think I believe
3:32
Speaker 2: this is one that you'd like to get when you
3:33
Speaker 2: open a pack of Pokemon cards, if you're collecting them.
3:37
Speaker 2: So how about when the two when Cheetos and Pokemon
3:43
Speaker 2: comes together in one flaming hot combination. A flaming hot
3:49
Speaker 2: Cheerio shaped like the Charizard sold in an auction for
3:54
Speaker 2: just shy of eighty eight thousand dollars. The so called
3:59
Speaker 2: Cheetos art was put up for bids through the Golden
4:02
Speaker 2: auction House last month. The bidding started at two hundred
4:06
Speaker 2: and fifty dollars and it eventually went to an unnamed bidder.
4:12
Speaker 2: Earlier this week, the three inch Cheeto four to seven
4:17
Speaker 2: years old, I guess attached to a custom Cheetos ard
4:21
Speaker 2: Pokemon card in case in a transparent box. So good
4:25
Speaker 2: for the person who found it. Now that's got me
4:27
Speaker 2: examining every Cheeto. I mean, I say, it's got me
4:33
Speaker 2: doing it. I haven't had a Cheeto since hearing about
4:35
Speaker 2: this story, but the next time I have a Cheeto,
4:38
Speaker 2: you better believe I'll be comparing it to Pokemon characters.
4:42
Speaker 2: And you know, my extensive collection of Pokemon cards, I
4:47
Speaker 2: don't have any. I don't know if my boys, I
4:49
Speaker 2: don't think they have any. I know they haven't collected them.
4:51
Speaker 2: But maybe someone gave them one some point. I don't know.
4:55
Speaker 2: Maybe we should look for that one and start checking
4:58
Speaker 2: all the cheetah. I need to go buy some cheatah. Apparently,
5:01
Speaker 2: you know they do stories where they say, if you've
5:03
Speaker 2: got a quarter it's got a certain kind of marking
5:06
Speaker 2: on it, then it could be worth thousands of dollars.
5:09
Speaker 2: And then you find yourself looking at every quarter. At
5:11
Speaker 2: least that's me. That's what I start doing. So maybe
5:13
Speaker 2: I need to do that with all the Cheetos, since
5:16
Speaker 2: I eat so many Cheetos, you know, just just choking
5:20
Speaker 2: them down constantly. Ay, I could, though, I could. If
5:25
Speaker 2: I let myself just eat Cheetos all day, I could
5:27
Speaker 2: do it. But try to have some self control. Florida
5:32
Speaker 2: man who was kicked out of his home where he
5:34
Speaker 2: was staying wound up getting himself arrested over a text
5:37
Speaker 2: message that he sent to the home owner. Sheriff's deputies
5:40
Speaker 2: in Holmes County responded to a homeowner's call for help
5:44
Speaker 2: and removing a man who had been staying there. They
5:47
Speaker 2: arrived at the scene and escorted Christopher Newton off the property,
5:50
Speaker 2: but deputies hung around the house for a little while.
5:54
Speaker 2: Moments later, Newton sent a text to the homeowner letting
5:57
Speaker 2: him know that he left a baggie on the nightstand,
6:00
Speaker 2: and deputies found the bagging and its contents tested positive
6:03
Speaker 2: for cocaine. They caught up with Newton and placed him
6:06
Speaker 2: under arrest for possession. The Sheriff's office later posted on
6:09
Speaker 2: social media, if you're going to leave something behind maybe
6:12
Speaker 2: you don't text about it. Now, it sounds to me
6:18
Speaker 2: like this worked out okay for the police department. So
6:22
Speaker 2: I mean I would encourage people to send texts if
6:24
Speaker 2: it's confessing to things that'll connect them to a crime.
6:27
Speaker 2: That seems like the right move, rather than warning them
6:30
Speaker 2: not to. But I think they were saying it in jest.
6:33
Speaker 1: Right.
6:34
Speaker 2: Staying in Florida, Authorities in Orlando or researching the best
6:38
Speaker 2: way to clean diamonds after a jewel thief swallowed a
6:41
Speaker 2: pair of seven hundred and sixty nine thousand dollars earrings.
6:47
Speaker 2: Police say that thirty five year old Jaythan Gilder visited
6:51
Speaker 2: the Tiffany and Co. Store. Is it Co or do
6:54
Speaker 2: you say company like Mario Bros. You say Mario Brothers. Right.
7:00
Speaker 2: I told staff that he was representing a player on
7:02
Speaker 2: the Orlando Magic who sent him to purchase jewelry. The
7:06
Speaker 2: staff allowed him into a VIP area to peruse priceier jewels,
7:10
Speaker 2: and he helped himself to two pairs of diamond ear
7:12
Speaker 2: rings and a ring worth five hundred eighty seven thousand dollars.
7:15
Speaker 2: He then left the store, but a surveillance camera captured
7:18
Speaker 2: the heist and police recalled officers later caught up with
7:22
Speaker 2: him in his car and recovered the ring. They also
7:25
Speaker 2: found the Tiffany and Co. Price tags, which had been
7:29
Speaker 2: removed from an item, but they couldn't find the earrings.
7:33
Speaker 2: He was arrested taking a jail During the search, guild
7:36
Speaker 2: or s jail staff was he going to be charged
7:40
Speaker 2: with what's in my stomach? And added I should have
7:43
Speaker 2: thrown them out the window. A body scan confirmed the
7:46
Speaker 2: appearance of foreign objects in his stomach. He's been charged
7:50
Speaker 2: with grand theft robbery. A jail staff then had to
7:53
Speaker 2: wait for the stolen jewels to pass into that old
7:57
Speaker 2: jailhouse toilet. I guess what happens if you eat the
8:02
Speaker 2: you know, a very rare, very valuable eighty eight thousand
8:06
Speaker 2: dollars charizar cheeto. They have to do the same kind
8:10
Speaker 2: of thing, or they just you know, I guess at
8:13
Speaker 2: that point you've had to chew it up right, you
8:14
Speaker 2: didn't swallow it whole. I don't know. A couple under
8:18
Speaker 2: arrest after they tried to force their way onto an
8:20
Speaker 2: American Airlines flight at the Miami International Airport and allegedly
8:24
Speaker 2: attacked two airline employees that they'd already say twenty nine
8:27
Speaker 2: year old Beatrice Rapaport De Kempo Smaya and forty year
8:33
Speaker 2: old Rafael Serafe Novas were running to make a flight
8:39
Speaker 2: to Cancun to celebrate their engagement, but they showed up
8:42
Speaker 2: late and tried to get onto the jetway. They were
8:45
Speaker 2: denied entry and became irate and tried to push their
8:49
Speaker 2: way through. The woman then allegedly threw her cup of
8:52
Speaker 2: coffee at two gate agents. Serafe Novas was called by
9:00
Speaker 2: police and needed to be held down. He was then
9:03
Speaker 2: led to a police car on the tarmac, charge with battery,
9:07
Speaker 2: resisting an officer without violence, and trespassing. I was charged
9:11
Speaker 2: with battery and trespassing. Once she was let out of jail,
9:15
Speaker 2: she railed against the charges, and while saying nothing about
9:19
Speaker 2: physically trying to force herself onto the plane, she was
9:23
Speaker 2: mostly upset with the claims that she threw her coffee
9:25
Speaker 2: on airline workers, saying it just dropped on the floor.
9:29
Speaker 2: She added, I'm not crazy. We would not throw coffee.
9:32
Speaker 2: Coffee I drink. It's a good quote coffee I drink.
9:39
Speaker 2: I would have gone with the buck and the preacher quote. Yeah,
9:42
Speaker 2: I got your coffee like that movie. Toddler, Oklahoma, was
9:49
Speaker 2: playing with an old cell phone and dialed nine one
9:52
Speaker 2: one to report emergency donuts. Oh, I know those kid's
9:55
Speaker 2: got something going here. The boys parents must not have
9:59
Speaker 2: real that the all phone still had emergency calling enabled,
10:03
Speaker 2: because the child called nine to win one and kept
10:05
Speaker 2: repeating emergency donuts to the dispatcher. The patient call taker
10:10
Speaker 2: adorably played along and asked several times to speak to
10:13
Speaker 2: his mother, but the child kept repeating emergency donuts. He
10:17
Speaker 2: eventually told her to have a good day and then
10:19
Speaker 2: hung up. It's unclear whether the child was asking for
10:22
Speaker 2: donuts or not. Pat The dispatcher sent police over with
10:27
Speaker 2: some donuts. That's nice. It's a nice outcome to the story.
10:32
Speaker 2: You could have gotten the wrong dispatcher and they could
10:34
Speaker 2: have decided to press charges against this kid and all
10:37
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff. But no, this was handled. This
10:39
Speaker 2: was a nice story. A a truck on a highway
10:42
Speaker 2: in Maine miraculously left no one injured, but the entire
10:48
Speaker 2: hall of Curly Fries was destroyed in a fire. The
10:52
Speaker 2: crash occurred on I ninety five just north of Portsmouth, Maine,
10:56
Speaker 2: on Wednesday, and backed up traffic for several hours. The
10:59
Speaker 2: call of the fire. Under investigation, the driver was able
11:03
Speaker 2: to get out of the truck unharmed. No firefighters were injured.
11:06
Speaker 2: Both the truck and the curly Fries were a total loss, though,
11:11
Speaker 2: as was the curly fry shaped like a chartisar now.
11:15
Speaker 2: A Florida man who was denied and we're staying a
11:18
Speaker 2: lot in Florida, aren't we Florida to Maine. We're going
11:20
Speaker 2: up the coast back down to Florida was denied a
11:23
Speaker 2: chance to test drive a BMW over having bad credit,
11:26
Speaker 2: and he wound up having a bad day and went
11:28
Speaker 2: to jail when he got angry and drove his Hyundai
11:31
Speaker 2: right into the dealership. Police in Gainesville say twenty year
11:34
Speaker 2: old Kevin Alexander Lehman walked into the BMW dealership and
11:39
Speaker 2: said he wanted to buy an M four CS. The
11:44
Speaker 2: car costs about one hundred and twenty nine thousand dollars,
11:46
Speaker 2: so the dealership first wanted to check his credit score
11:49
Speaker 2: before allowing to go on the test drive. Lehman was
11:52
Speaker 2: found to have bad credit and denied a test drive.
11:55
Speaker 2: As he began to walk out of the dealership, he
11:57
Speaker 2: tried to swipe the keys to the car. Some salesman
12:01
Speaker 2: then stopped him. When he finally walked out to the
12:04
Speaker 2: parking lot, he got into his car, a Hyundai SUV,
12:06
Speaker 2: crashed it right into the showroom, causing about sixty thousand
12:10
Speaker 2: dollars in damage. He got out of the car and
12:12
Speaker 2: started searching for the keys to the BMW. When he
12:15
Speaker 2: couldn't find him, he left his car and fled on foot.
12:18
Speaker 2: Cops caught up to him moments later placed him under
12:21
Speaker 2: a rest charge with grand theft auto in criminal mischief.
12:24
Speaker 2: This is called not giving up. This is a guy
12:27
Speaker 2: who was determined to leave this car dealership with this car,
12:33
Speaker 2: no matter what, even with bad credit, even if he
12:37
Speaker 2: had to leave his own car behind and smash up
12:39
Speaker 2: the entrance. He was determined that he was going to
12:44
Speaker 2: leave that dealership with that car. I mean, you got
12:49
Speaker 2: to admire the determination, the steely determinate. This is perseverance.
12:55
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but I remember very clearly
12:58
Speaker 2: when I was a kid, we used to read these
13:01
Speaker 2: stories and they would always be stories ultimately that were
13:04
Speaker 2: about perseverance. You know, we had to learn about how
13:09
Speaker 2: you don't give up and you don't quit. This could
13:11
Speaker 2: be a story of perseverance, right, because that's what it is.
13:16
Speaker 2: This is about a guy who doesn't quit no matter what.
13:19
Speaker 2: He's not quitting. He left on foot. I mean, I
13:23
Speaker 2: guess at that point he quit. But the point is
13:25
Speaker 2: he was determined. He was determined. And finally, Qatar Airways,
13:32
Speaker 2: do we go back to Qatar? For a while, we
13:33
Speaker 2: were supposed to say Cutter and then it was Katar
13:36
Speaker 2: because of the World Cup. I'm still saying Katar. Quitar
13:39
Speaker 2: Airways is defending a crew on a recent flight from
13:42
Speaker 2: Australia to Qatar who forced a couple to sit next
13:44
Speaker 2: to the body of a passenger who died mid flight
13:49
Speaker 2: and Edna's breathing on me, right, It's one of those deals.
13:52
Speaker 2: A woman apparently collapsed and died in the aisle about
13:55
Speaker 2: ten hours into the fourteen hour flight. The crew set
13:59
Speaker 2: her body in an aisle seat and covered her with
14:01
Speaker 2: a blanket, while a horrified couple had to sit next
14:04
Speaker 2: to her. An airline spokesperson says that after an internal review,
14:09
Speaker 2: the crew acted quickly, appropriately and professionally, despite the couple
14:13
Speaker 2: insisting that they were not given the opportunity to move
14:15
Speaker 2: to other seats. The airline says it's been in touch
14:18
Speaker 2: with a couple and offered emotional support and compensation. Look,
14:25
Speaker 2: I this is a this is a truth. Let me
14:27
Speaker 2: just tell you this, okay, and I don't know this
14:30
Speaker 2: is a in Qatar Airways is supposed to be a
14:32
Speaker 2: good one, right, I'll just tell you this. I've done
14:36
Speaker 2: the long trips to Australia many times. Fourteen hours, done
14:40
Speaker 2: that one before. We're doing this trip again coming up
14:44
Speaker 2: this summer, and it'll be longer than that. I'm just
14:48
Speaker 2: gonna just a little inside baseball, Okay, just a little bit.
14:53
Speaker 2: The crew has a little area that they can go
14:55
Speaker 2: to rest. There's just a little area. They've got little spots.
14:58
Speaker 2: They can go up a little stair case. It's kind
15:00
Speaker 2: of hidden away, and then they can rest. And that's
15:03
Speaker 2: what they're able to do. I would just offer this suggestion, Okay,
15:08
Speaker 2: you got a dead body on the plane, you got
15:11
Speaker 2: passengers on the plane. You're telling people it shouldn't be
15:13
Speaker 2: a big deal. Maybe maybe you just you take the
15:18
Speaker 2: body and you put it there away from everybody else.
15:23
Speaker 2: The body can lie down in one of the bunks.
15:25
Speaker 2: I realized this would be an inconvenience to the crew,
15:28
Speaker 2: but wouldn't it be better to inconvenience the crew a
15:31
Speaker 2: bit than the passengers, just offering that as just you know,
15:35
Speaker 2: whoever cares, if anyone at all cares, I'm just offering
15:39
Speaker 2: that as a suggestion, maybe that's a better place to
15:41
Speaker 2: put the dead body, because you know in my trip
15:45
Speaker 2: coming up the summer that we don't want to sit
15:48
Speaker 2: next to a dead body either. Aunt Edna is not
15:52
Speaker 2: going to breathe on me. Today's show brought to you

Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
18:17
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
18:20
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
18:22
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
18:26
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
18:29
Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or
18:32
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
18:36
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
18:38
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
18:42
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
18:44
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know,

18:54
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in they can do that
18:57
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after I
19:00
Speaker 2: hows calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having
19:02
Speaker 2: your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door
19:06
Speaker 2: won't open and you need somebody to come help, and
19:09
Speaker 2: they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight
19:12
Speaker 2: forty five hundred, seven oh six three five eight forty
19:15
Speaker 2: five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning
19:19
Speaker 2: Show right after the break. All right, so I got
19:30
Speaker 2: another you know, Pokemon related thing here in this story.
19:37
Speaker 2: Uh So, basically, there are still some brand new Nintendo
19:42
Speaker 2: sixty four consoles out there that let gamers go back
19:45
Speaker 2: and play the old games. Original consoles from the late
19:50
Speaker 2: nineteen nineties could be worth a lot of money as
19:54
Speaker 2: collector's items. For example, an unopened limited edition PIKACHEW Nintendo
19:59
Speaker 2: sixty five and the Jungle Green Nintendo sixty four are
20:04
Speaker 2: selling for up to eighteen hundred dollars these days. If
20:08
Speaker 2: you've got a mint version of the Legend of Zelda
20:12
Speaker 2: Majora's Mask, you could probably get over five grand for it.
20:16
Speaker 2: So it's not a cheeto, but you know it's not
20:21
Speaker 2: you know, eighty eight thousand or whatever cordial. Recent study
20:24
Speaker 2: the World Brewing Alliance conducted the beer industry contributes a
20:28
Speaker 2: staggering eight hundred and seventy eight billion dollars each year
20:32
Speaker 2: to a global economy and supports thirty three million jobs worldwide.
20:37
Speaker 2: The study shows how beer production, sales, and employment support
20:41
Speaker 2: local communities and economies, with that support generating lots of
20:45
Speaker 2: tax revenue for them. So I wouldn't have guessed eight
20:49
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy eight billion. That seems like a high number.
20:52
Speaker 2: Orlando is gearing up to bring flying cars to the region.
20:55
Speaker 2: The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority is looking for partners to
20:59
Speaker 2: develop and operate a flying car landing pad called a
21:05
Speaker 2: vertiport at the airport. If everything goes according to plan,
21:09
Speaker 2: the project would be completed in twenty twenty eight, setting
21:12
Speaker 2: Orlando up for the cutting edge access for small electric
21:17
Speaker 2: aircraft that would take off and land vertically at their airport.
21:25
Speaker 2: I mean, we were supposed to already have this, jetpacks
21:29
Speaker 2: and flying cars. These were things we were supposed to
21:32
Speaker 2: have what twenty five years ago, remember in the year
21:35
Speaker 2: two thousand, all these things in the year too, All
21:38
Speaker 2: these things were supposed to change. Did it happen. No,
21:41
Speaker 2: it's finally maybe. I remember Murdoch on the A team
21:44
Speaker 2: with his little helicopter, and I thought, man, this is
21:47
Speaker 2: going to happen in my lifetime. Well now they're saying
21:51
Speaker 2: maybe three years, so we'll see. I hope that's still
21:53
Speaker 2: my lifetime. A new study from University of North Carolina
21:56
Speaker 2: Charlotte found that bad meetings aren't just they can actually
22:01
Speaker 2: leave you with meeting hangover. More than ninety percent of
22:04
Speaker 2: employee surveys said that they experienced one of these meeting hangovers,
22:07
Speaker 2: leaving them frustrated, distractive, and unproductive afterwards. So what are
22:12
Speaker 2: the factors that can make for a bad meeting? According
22:15
Speaker 2: to the research, some of them include meetings that could
22:17
Speaker 2: have been handled in an email. Yeah that's a popular one,
22:22
Speaker 2: meetings with no real agenda, meetings that go on for
22:25
Speaker 2: too long, and meetings that end with no decisions being made.
22:28
Speaker 2: I'm just going to tell you this, Okay, went to
22:32
Speaker 2: a lot of meetings in my day, A lot of them.
22:36
Speaker 2: Many of them were just so that the person running
22:38
Speaker 2: the meeting could say, yes, we conduct a meeting every week,
22:44
Speaker 2: so you know that that's the case. When a lot
22:47
Speaker 2: of times there's nothing really that's talked about or things
22:50
Speaker 2: that are talked about are afterthoughts, Oh, it's about to
22:53
Speaker 2: be Saint Patrick's Day, we should have had a Saint
22:55
Speaker 2: Patrick's Day promotion. Can we put something together in ten
22:58
Speaker 2: days kind of meetings? And then the other one is
23:02
Speaker 2: when you don't get an agenda. If you're someone who
23:05
Speaker 2: calls for meetings at your office, just do all of
23:09
Speaker 2: your staff a favor and let them know what the
23:13
Speaker 2: agenda is. That also lets them know, hey, this has
23:17
Speaker 2: been planned out and this isn't a last minute thing
23:20
Speaker 2: that's just being thrown together, so that we can check
23:22
Speaker 2: a box. Just offering that as a suggestion, that and
23:25
Speaker 2: the whole you know, put the dead body in the
23:29
Speaker 2: little cabin's bunk somewhere, you know, just somewhere where other
23:32
Speaker 2: people don't have to the passengers don't have to see it.
23:35
Speaker 2: Are people in certain professions more likely to cheat? Well?
23:40
Speaker 2: According to some They say that firefighters people in the
23:45
Speaker 2: military are more likely to cheat than people in other professions.
23:49
Speaker 2: Divorce lawyer Katie Simons says that it's a combination of ego,
23:54
Speaker 2: being away from home a lot, and that women are
23:56
Speaker 2: attracted to the uniform, so is the fact that it's
24:02
Speaker 2: available to cheat. The opportunity to cheat is there. Therefore,
24:06
Speaker 2: sometimes they might actually do that. That'll do it for
24:10
