Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to West Michigan's morning News.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Steve, Kelly, Brett Pikata, Laurence Smith, Adam a road show
Friday July twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, and it is
top five times smitty.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Where do we start?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
All right, guys at number five. I know none of
us are single and ready to mingle, but I'm just
here to report the science. A new study says you
are more likely to find a husband in Costco than you.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Are on a dating app.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
And this is from Stanford Stanford Universities. You guys know
it's legit, they say, Well, nearly forty percent of couples
actually meet online. It's things like social gatherings and everyday
errands aka eating a hot dog in the Costco food
court that often lead to stronger, longer lasting relationships. Organic
meetings create deeper buns through shared routines and authentic first impressions.
(00:50):
And I'm telling you it's a great way to figure
out an early red flag on a relationship, which is
how do you handle the Costco checkout or.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Who else doesn't judge when you look at what they bought?
Oh yeah, hey, Brett, oh boy.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
You can also learn a lot about somebody based on
their hot dog topping choices in.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
The food court. Well, like if they put ketchup on it.
That's what I'm aiming for. We have a love of
all that is holy.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
Be careful though, because as a retiree, I hope to
work at Casco someday.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
They pay good. I hear, I totally see you at
a best Brett. Oh yeah, doing that check out.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Brett is Chatty at number four in the listen, North
Carolina Road temporarily closed so Cruise could clean up a
freshly minted mess spilled toothpaste mix with sawdust.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
The Ashbroo Police.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Department set on social media the incident occurred Wednesday morning
at gold Hill Road between Old Liberty Road and Giles
Chapel Road. Just in case you were wondering in North Carolina,
the spilled toothpaste was mixed with sawdust and may smell good,
but it sure is slippery, they said, So don't wait
in and think you can get a scoop of bit.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
For the rest of the day, at Number three Football Goalore,
we had the wrap the Big ten Football media Days
in Las Vegas. Yesterday was also MAC Media Day at
Ford Field in Detroit and Yeah, Ocho's Western Michigan Broncos
were on display. Shout out to one of our own two,
Ty Hallick, because Tate Hallick decided to come back for
(02:16):
another year at one year of eligibility left. He did
it at the end of last season. It'll be his
seventh year now. If you ask and say why seven
years we had covid in there. I think it was
a medical red shirt as well when he got injured.
But he is their leader on defense and safety. He
was down there looking good in the bow tie and
he's fired up because guess who they open up against
(02:37):
at Michigan State who we played for. His dad played for,
his sister plays for currently for the women's college basketball team.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
So don't ask Hime for tickets for that game.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
And that's that Friday night of Labor Day weekend at
Spartan State.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Don't forget his brother played there too.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
By the way, Western Michigan.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
Yes, Western Michigan is picked the highest of the three
Michigan teams, but not good as far as the preseason
poll seven eight in nine.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Yeah, Alita is the.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Favorites from somebody who has anchored the marching band. Adam
at number two.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
At number two, Japan is recalling sixteen thousand toy guns
that were prizes in those claw machines.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
They were called the real gimmick Mini Revolver.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Turns out, the hammer on that thing is hard enough
to actually fire a real bullet, and the barrel is
big enough for small caliber rounds. So these claw machines
unintentionally giving away fully functional handguns.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Whoops, all you needed the bullets? Kids?
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Well, then that giant claw machine that you were talking about,
what a day or so ago.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
That was in Taiwan?
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
No, yeah, a cannon?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Look, dad, maybe we should add a list of other
things that kids shouldn't be able to win. Yeah, for instance,
long bladed knives, well, apparently they need to be.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Mature.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Cougars probably not a fun pet to give away. Yeah
that h Throwing stars were always a big thing when
I was a kid. Oh yeah, I never knew anybody
that had one, but we talked about them a lot.
Add throwing stars to the list that shouldn't be in
the clawmettars. Where did you get it? Can you get
(04:20):
them at Young's Army Navy on Division.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
What were you going to do with a throwing star?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Nothing?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Take out another band member number two chair.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Something just went through the timpany.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
My sounds funny.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Finally at uh number one on the list no good deed.
Have you ever wondered what could possibly happen to those
people that jump in the water to rescue beached sharks?
What uh have you ever seen them drag them out?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Well?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Guess what, no good need indeed necessarily goes unrewarded. Twenty
one year old man suffered non threatening injuries on July
sixth when he tried to pull a shark back into
the water at Nantucket. According to the Nantucket Current, the
man had been fishing, caught a sandbar shark this time around,
(05:16):
and tried to release the animal, but when he got
deep enough, it turned around bit him in the leg.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And there you go.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
You're gonna need a bigger line, and.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You're gonna need a bigger coach. Yeah, that's today's.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Way in Nantucket. That's like when they filmed Jaws.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
