Speaker 1 (00:00):
And this is West Michigan's Morning News Steve, Kelly, Brett Kaita,
Adam Road Show, Schmidti back with us soon. It is
Thursday July third, twenty twenty five and Top five Time Adam.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Where do we start?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Well?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Kicking it off?
Speaker 4 (00:13):
It turns out Snakes on a Plane was more of
a documentary than a feature fantasy film. In Australia, a
domestic flight had to be delayed for two hours because
a snake was found in the cargo hold. They called
a snake catcher Mark Pelley, who thought it was going
to be a venomous snake until he caught it with
his bare hands and was like, oh well, this is
just a green tree steak. It not a venomous snake. Here,
(00:35):
I'm asking myself, why are you catching this thing with
your bare hands?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I told you the one we had the other day
was venomous and he was picking it up with its
bare hands.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
What is wrong with these?
Speaker 5 (00:43):
How about determine what it is first and then decide how.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
To capture it?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
They apparently if you pick him up by the end
of the tail, they don't have enough strength to get
their head up.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I've seen that go wrong. I have to Steve Irwin,
I'm not buying that. Yeah, with a.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Gardener snake when nobody's picking up stingrays.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
By the way, Steve, how do you use that philosophy
with like a python?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, he'd have you wrapped up by the time you
found his tail.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Host Number four in the list not suggesting the Steve
Kelly solution here, several pair of EMUs escaped from their
home at a Minnesota farm during a storm and ended
up several miles from home.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
All EMUs break out just to let you know.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Oh yeah, Tom Halleck and his emu's Sammy and Ali
escaped from a partially open gate at the Rush City
property during weekend storms. Also, the thing to remember is
you've got to keep a real good picture of your
EMUs so you don't get him confused.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Here's Tom.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Somebody else in the area that owns the EMUs also
thought they were his, so he ran and he captured him,
brought him home, and he realized, wait a minute, these
are mine.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So they've got to keep a good.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Track of your EMUs.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
And that wasn't Ty's brother. By the way, Tie has
a brother named Tom. It's spelled different. I checked on
that too. I called them both.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Wait up near Greenville.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Yeah, no, Hey, I got good news for basketball fans,
and I'm a big fan myself. Red Panda, you know
the gal who flips on a unicycle the bowls up
on her head for halftime entertainment at basketball games everywhere.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I've never seen this, but I hear it's really entertaining.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Well, her name, her real name is wrong New and
Red Panda is what she goes by.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
She is going to be ready for next season.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Because if you missed it, Tuesday night, during the w
NBA Commissioner's Cup halftime performance, she fell. Oh heartfall, Oh
fell off the unicycle. She's up in the air, broken
left wrist. She'll need further consultation with an orthopedic surgeon.
Butter agency that represents her said she should be good
to go for the start.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Of the upcoming basketball season on the men's.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Side, so you know positive she doesn't have handlebars to
hold on.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
I can't believe she's performed at like the Breslin Center
for Michigan State. She's performed at an on NBA games Pistons.
I mean, come on, Red Panda. But the good news, folks,
she'll be back on the unicycles soon.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Thank heavens. What budget bill? You know what I mean?
It's red pandas Steve, that's what I thought.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
At number two, Tony was just talking about this paying
attention while you're driving. In Wisconsin, a woman was arrested
after rear ending a police officer.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
And why was she distracted?
Speaker 4 (03:26):
She was digging through her taco bell bag trying to
get that fourth meal and it ends up making you
rear end a police officer like that. Come on, yeah,
you can't do that. He hit her at sixty miles
an hour. Fortunately, everybody's going to be fine. And no
word on how the taco bell did.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
A lot of times that meal can be fueled by
alcohol consumption, so yeah, that's probably not going to end
well that way either.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
No, by the way, special thanks to the Mount Pleasant
taco bell that stayed open during my college years.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
The only one, oh.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Man there was one on Grand River in Michigan State.
And when that was two packed, there was some off
brand one just up the street.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
By two am it was ankle deep with wrappers. I
spent more money than I did on books.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
At both of those places, exactly another reason why I
ended up in radio or book.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Refund day was great, though, wasn't it right? Mine? We're
always new.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
That number one on the list still makes that noise
when you open it. A medical clinic in Scotland is
asking local residents to stop bringing in inappropriate or unsolicited
urine samples.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Come on.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
The Salton Surgery in Fraserberg, Atterburgshire said on social media
that doctors and medical staff at the clinic have been
inundated with a high volume of unsolicited urine samples, often
in non medical household containers like the cool whit bowl.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Please don't continue.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Instead of sterile sample containers. Please be advised we're no
longer able to accept your examples.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
