Steve Kelly, Brett Pakata, Laurence Smith adam a road shoe Monday.
It's August eighteenth, twenty twenty five. Welcome back to school
if you are one of those parents in those school
districts up for the first time since I don't know
May when at school let out. It is time for
our Top five today, Schmidty, Where do we start?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
At number five? A Kentucky woman taken into custody after
allegedly totaling her ex's car following an argument. Thirty one
year old Stephanie Carlquist actually admitted to things like cracking
a windshield, busting the vehicle's radio screen, But what really
did it? She poured salt in the vehicle's engine and
(00:45):
glitter in the air conditioning ven. Oh yeah, the boyfriend
of ex boyfriend excuse me, apparently took it into a
dealership which said, yeah, this is absolutely unfixable. During an
interview with police, girl Quist admitted to pouring glitter in
the events and damaging the windshield that sent her ex
was long overdue for the other damage.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
What was that? It wasn't? Kelly Clarkson who did next time.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Carrie Underway?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
That was a baseball bat. Yeah, no glitter involved. No,
that's a little more severe.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Shit.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I think long and hard on that one. I've felt good.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Number four in the list a book returned to the
San Antonio Library in Texas, nearly eighty two years past
its due date, along with the note explaining it had
likely been checked out by the writer's grandmother, who then
went to Mexico just afterwards.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Way back in nineteen forty three.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
The letter also expressed the writers hope that there wouldn't
be any late fees because Grandma won't be able to
pay for it anymore. I like how they don't take
responsibility as a family for this one.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Help.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, this one's on grandma. She's been dead for fifty years.
The library in San Antonio stopped charging late fees a
long time ago.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
At number three, I know you love this, Steve Kelly,
because Ryder Cup is one of your favorites coming up,
and we've got the build up to that right with
the FedEx Cup playoffs or championships if you will, four
PGA Tour players. How about the way it finished for
BMW Championship yesterday just outside of Baltimore and oh yeah,
Scottie Scheffler.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Key Scheffler.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Get off the green for a chip in and that
was on seventeen to put him over the top. Robert
McIntyre had a four shot lead going into the final
round yesterday, but Scotty did his thing. He wins at
minus fifteen. McIntyre dropped back minus thirteen after he shot
a three over seventy three. Maverick McNeely was third minus eleven.
(03:01):
But Scottie Scheffler his fifth win of the year. He's
putting up Tiger Woods esque numbers. Twelve wins in two
years for Scottie Scheffler. And we've still got the Tour
Championship coming up this weekend at East Lake Golf Club
just outside of Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yeah, he's won like twenty five million already this year.
Not a bad year already. I've gotta work four or
five years to make twenty five million. You guys at
number two.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
South Korea now using life sized holographic police officers to
fight crime. There's a park that they had a lot
of crime in, so they set up this hologram that
from seven pm to ten pm is a five foot
seven police officer and crime in that park has dropped
twenty two percent.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So it's just an image, just an image.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Of a police officer. People are comparing it to a
twenty first century scarecrow and.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
They can't handle it. Come on, man, guy looks dividating.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
I love all the stories. At least a five t
seven tall police officer.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Have you ever seen this in Florida where they just
park the car. Yeah, yeah, it's parked the car. There's
no one in it, you know, just slow people down.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Have you seen a.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Police golf cart Florida?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yeah, that kind of gives it a way though the
tinted windows you at least.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
You don't know. And finally, at number one on the
list of mechanic working on a twenty fifteen Ford Edge
brought into his Minnesota, a Minnesota shop made a startling
discovery under the hood a wallet that had been lost
by a Michigan Ford plant worker eleven years earlier.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Is this year wallet?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
First thing I said was could you find it in
the cars? Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Richard Gilfred, who's now retired, said he remembers today he
lost his wallet while working on vehicles that had been
shipped to the Michigan assembly plant in Wayne. After coming
off an assembly line in Chicago. They tried to search
some cars, but there were two thousand to go through.
Oh the car, which as we mentioned was in Minnesota,
(05:05):
had one hundred and fifty thousand miles on it, so
the wallet had been going through life just like that.
Gilfred said his Cabella's card was in there, and Cabellas
agreed to give him credit for it. It was some two
hundred and fifty bucks fifteen dollars in their return to
the owner, So there you go. Nice honesty is the
best policy. That's today's Top five
