Speaker 1 (00:00):
Everybody hold it together here for five minutes. This is
West Michigan's Morning News. Steve Kelly, that's Adam Rochow and
the producers both in Brett Pakita.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Ladies and Gentlemen, Lauren Smith.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
It is Friday, May second, twenty twenty five, Top five
times Schmitty.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Where do we start?

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Oh, boy number five? I'm not sure I'd be smiling
in this mug shop. Her name is Christina Slimetto. She
was officially arrested yesterday after defecating on the hood of
another car because of a road rage incident.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I'll show them.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
She's now facing charges of indecent exposure, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief, harassment,
and depositing waste on the highway.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
But when asked by cops, why did you.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Do it, she said, well, that person called me a
bad name, and then proceeded to say, but it was still.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
A clean poop.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
I didn't even have to wipe.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Okay, that's a little too much there at the end. Yeah,
what was going to give her credit for? Not Florida?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Obviously a young woman, right, so not Florida, Pennsylvania.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Oh, I thought they had it more together.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
There that one doesn't well, I wish they would keep
more to themselves.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
I can tell you that. Ah see what you did there.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Finally, at number four on the list, sorry, Los Angeles
hairdresser captured video unfortunately without audio of a coyote. This
is Los Angeles that climbed onto the roof of a
hair salon and drank water collected in a skylight.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
A couple of things.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
These skylights seem like a good idea.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
But two things.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
They're going to pull water and then wildlife is going
to show up and drink out of it, and that's
really it. And then to complete the scene from Last
of Us, this TikTok video shows just what they did
trying to scare the thing away. Just another day at
our treehouse. The guy said, so, apparently there are other

(02:01):
animals that drink out.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Of the skylight.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
That's you know, gonna leak down the side and eventually
cost thousands of dollars worth of damage to the hair salon.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
And then they're gonna end it was really cool.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
They're going to raise the price of the haircuts because
of the damage to the building, and you all think
that's funny.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Now I'm just saying, we know the.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
nWay Riverbank Run is always the second Saturday in May,
but do you know what is the first Saturday in May?

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Spitty gets your hat ready gains.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Is Oh yeah, it is the one hundred and fifty
first running of the Kentucky Derby to Marl Louisville, Kentucky
Churchill Downs. And yes they will have a total of
twenty horses in the field, even though Rodriguez was scratched
yesterday and one of the kind of top favorites. But
an interesting story here I did not know. And there

(02:49):
always is a backstory. A horse named Render Judgment which
right now currently as of last night, the odds thirteen
to one, so getting better, partially owned by late Toby
Keith and his dream walking rhyms. Yes he is in
the field for the race. It was always a dream
of his to have a horse in the Kentucky Derby

(03:12):
his Oklahoma based farm. This is the first one that
they've ever produced and it's going to be trained by
Kenny McPeak. Going in. The horses only earned two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars in change and it was a
thirty to one long shot, so it has improved to
thirteen and one. But if you want a horse to
cheer for a little bit.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Always my reminder, min Julips make them with real mint,
not mint extract.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Good to know, did it bad move?

Speaker 5 (03:39):
They say that life finds a way, Well so does fashion.
At number two, a group of researchers and bioengineers in
the UK say they're working to produce high end wallets,
clutches and totes using t rex skin. They're growing it
from fossilized remains of the ancient carnivore in an attempt
to create a more sustainable leather, and they say that

(04:00):
it is going to be biodegradable, fully lab grown, and
pretty much identical to leather just made out of t rex.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
I don't think it's a good idea, No, nope. I've
seen the documentary series of Jurassic Part done. Then well
for them, they're gonna marnivore. Yeah no, especially for Newman.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
He was trying to cheat the system anyways. Yeah, but
it seemed like a brilliant way to smuggle.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
I read the book before I saw the movie, and
I'm better than the movie, which is hard to believe
because the the Jurassic Part movie was really incredible.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
The first one the rest of them, okay, kind of.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
All right, I disagree strongly. Yeah, I think they were
all amazing.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
And there it is today's top five. Thank you all
for playing your part and being the fine citizens you are.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Life finds a way.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Maybe I could just go back to be right now
after a roast beef sandwich
