Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, this is West Michigan's Morning News, and I know
that's Laurence Smith. I see Tony Brooks and Adam road Show.
I'm Steve Kelly and it's Wednesday, July sixteenth, twenty twenty five.
That means top five times schmiddy start us off.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Well, the theme is definitely creepy for this top five Today,
a paranormal investigator on his creepy Annabelle tour has unexpectedly died.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Oh have you.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Heard of this doll? It's pretty famous in like paranormal circles.
I've seen a bunch of documentaries on it. His name
is Dan Rivera. He was in Pennsylvania for what he
calls his Devil's on the Run tour, taking this infamous
haunted doll all across the country.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
You could possibly go right right.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Firefighters and medics rushed to his hotel. They did CPR
to no avail. He was pronounced dead unseen. His exact
cause of death remains unclear. He was only fifty four.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Ah, although he was stabbed to death by a tiny dagger.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I mean he had just wrapped his tour in Gettysburg.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
That's just a you don't want to go there same
with national disasters. After Mountain dews, new flavors are released.
I got an earful about that at a meeting last
night too, two thousand and one. We all know what
happened there.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Really, I don't know this is going to touch you
so personally.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Really never form in the list. Residents of a Massachusetts
city are being asked to keep an eye out for
a ball python that's been caught on camera slithering on
the loose in the area. Summerville is the name of
the city. Residents have shared photos and video of the snake,
which is white and black and brown and appears to
be about three to four feet in length. The centbur
of Summerville Animal Control confirmed the snake posted on social
(01:40):
media on Saturday is a ball python has not been located,
also guessing that there's been a record number of days
off and sick days from the folks in Animal Coro
Control there in lovely Summerville.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Check your car engine.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Remember that they're not venomous and can only grow up
to five feet long. So there you go. Just see it.
Let us know at number three.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
At number three this morning. Even though the Super Bowl
is how many months away, NBC is already selling ad
space inside the broadcast. That's typical, and just like everything,
it too is being affected by inflation.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I want to take a guess at what ad space
is going for.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
What do you think the current asking rate is for
one thirty second ad boatload?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
It is eight million dollars. But get this.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Last year Fox started at seven million, and by late
in the season it was able to fetch over eight
million a spot. So it's expected that NBC will be
able to grab considerably more late in the season as well.
Oh and the network has requested even more ad inventory
this year.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
You know if that means more commercials during the Super Bowl,
Just what you wanted to know. That's why Wood Radio
seems like such a better buy when it comes.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Oh yeah, talk to our sales department about what we
can do with a thirty second ad for you.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Six one, four, five nine nineteen nineteen asked for a
man a number two.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I'm so glad I found love Before the dating app era.
A new app that came out called single Riders is
specifically for Disney adults trying to find their happily ever after.
The creator of the app, after being stood up on
a date to Disney World decided, you know what, I
just need to find someone who loves Disney as much
(03:25):
as me. So he created the single Riders app so
that if you're as obsessed with Disney World as he is,
you can find love too.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Some people way into it.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Brilliant idea. I bet he's going to make a bowload
of money.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, like the Small World boatload, you know what I mean,
the only.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Will We were one of the ones that got stuck.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh really, Oh yeah, he had to listen to that thing.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It does take you a decent month to get that
out of your head.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
It gives you time to check your accounts. You're like
you're savings account and watch it tick down. Just lost
one thousand dollars. Finally a number one of the lists.
Speaking of creepy in today's Top five, tarantulis hidden inside
a shipment disguised as cookies found in Germany over the weekend.
The shipment was from Vietnam and intercepted at the airport.
(04:15):
It admitted a strange smell when opened to be looked inside,
they found the venomous arachnids packed in plastic tubes and
said many didn't make the flight just so you know,
the remaining spiders were placed into professional care. What is
that like a college degree job? Is that exactly? First,
(04:36):
they have eight legs. That's a probably class. I mean,
I don't know anything else about Some of them bite
you and you die. He was deeply troubling what some
people do to animals purely for profit. Oh, they're worried
about the animals here. A criminal investigation has been launched
into the package's intended recipient for failing to pay duties
and to make the proper declarations.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
A raknologist. That's that's the occupation of taking care of
spiders like that.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Oh, I was thinking of something completely different, and that's
today's top five. We won't discuss that anymore.
