Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
One Radio news time is now five point thirty six.
Good morning, This is West Michigan's morning News. Deean Kelly,
Rert Pakato, Lawrence Smith, Adam a road Joe, our worst
rides in yet, cancelations, just building more snow on the way.
We'll get to traffic and weather in four minutes, y'all.
Let's try a little top five though. First, Schmidy, where
do we start?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Number five? Man? There are some real grinches out there.
A gentleman in the UK shared a note he got
from an unhappy neighbor that's now gone viral over his
Christmas display. Come on it raids in part to the
occupier of this house. I lived on the road and
I'm absolutely horrified by the giant Santa and giant Snowman inflatables.

(00:43):
They look cheap, tacky and completely out of place in
our quiet street. The inflatables are an eyesore, and they
ruin the character of the road, and they make the
whole area look ridiculous rather than nice and tidy. Not
a request, a formal complaint from someone who actually lives nearby.
He's now threatening to go to the council at hl

(01:03):
Lay to get Santa taken down.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
I'd love to see that meeting.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
The letter ends by saying, I swear I will bring
this up again if you don't bring them inside before tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Come on now, ps ba humbug Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Exactly, Gosh, it's a blow up.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Santa at number four in the list of deer broke
into a Christmas theme store in Tennessee and made just
a heck of a mess.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Wait wait for it, rais here. Oh, come on.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Jonesborough Police Department has a sense of humor set on
social media that they were called to Gabriel's Christmas and more.
By the way, sale tomorrow on slightly damaged goods at
that Christmas store.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
The deer's over a.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Dent, slightly dent coverage or something.

Speaker 5 (01:48):
I got a follow up to the top five I
think that Adam had yesterday, and that is Philip Rivers
is now officially signed to the practice squad of the
Indianapolis Colts at age forty four. As Smitty verified, he
is a grandfather. But here's a little deeper about what
Philip Rivers has been doing after retirement. There have been teams,
by the way, that have come out publicly and said

(02:09):
we called him a year or so ago and kind
of looked into his opportunity. He's a high school football
coach for Saint Michael Catholic Cardinals down in Alabama, and
he and his wife Tiffany just welcomed their tenth child
two years ago in twenty twenty three.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Didn't we say he was a grandfather? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Oh, what's that called when you're a grandfather and you're
still having with it?

Speaker 6 (02:32):
And here's the thing is, eldest son Gunner is one
of the top high school quarterback prospects in the country
according to twenty four to seven Sports, top one hundred
for the twenty twenty seven class.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
So there's a lot going on there for Philip Rivers.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
He needs his own TV show.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
I at number two.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
The roads are bad today, but at least we're not
dodging aircraft. I ninety five down in Florida had an
airplane land on top of a car during an emergency
landing and eyewitness giving his state, you.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Know, and I was like, hopefully it lands off to
the side.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
I thought it would maybe try to aim around not
hit the car.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
But bam, the wheel just smack dab right on the
back of the.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Car, landed right on top of a twenty twenty three camray.
Everybody's going to be just fine, but it's all caught
on dash cam. The video is crazy. The camera not okay.
Oh the camri's toast.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
The plane probably not.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Would hate that if that hit Maboo though, use that
little new car.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
How about filing that for insurance? What happens, sir? A
plane landed on my car.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
And you imagine what you saw in your rear view mirror.
And finally, at number one on our list today, England's
National Highway said more than forty nine thousand abandoned objects
collected by the country's roads includes some pretty interesting things.
That includes a boat found on top of a damaged

(03:51):
trailer here in West Michigan. Somebody would just pick that up,
wouldn't you think. Also, a carnival ride was once found well,
and I suppose that's a good thing, because then you
didn't get on that rickety thing. You'll see that entire
list atwoodradio dot com. That is an abbreviated Top five
