Speaker 1 (00:00):
And welcome to West Michigan's morning News. I see Adam
Rochow and Brett Pikita and Lauren Smith. I'm Steve Kelly
and it's Monday, November twenty fourth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
That means Top five time, Lauren, you go first.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Oh, you know it's my favorite number five.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
After more than forty thousand submissions, Taco Bell announced a
winner for the Fan Style menu, and it's a guy
from right here in Michigan. Yes, it sounds so good.
This was created by a guy named Brock from Michigan.
He calls it the California crunch Rap. So the crunch
wrap subs in steak instead of ground beef and then
(00:35):
adds seasoned fries and guacamole, which is all wrapped into
that signature grilled shell. Brock said, I can't remember the
first time I had a crunch rap, but it's been
my go to for years, and I kept seeing people
in California add fries to their burritos. So one day
I tried it on my crunch rap and it just worked.
Now that's my staple and it will officially be a
(00:56):
part of that menu this week.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Am I the only one that wants you get a
good look at this guy.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I want to marry him.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Well, I don't think you want to cite unseen and
say something like that.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Don't you give me a green flag with coming up
with your homemade taco bell order.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I'm just guessing you are WICHI so.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Number four of the list, nineteen thirty nine copy of
Superman number one has become the world's most expensive comic
book after being auctioned for a super heroic nine point
one two million dollars. Heritage Auctions said the comic book
was found by a North Carolina family while they were
(01:33):
cleaning out the attic of their mother's home after she
passed away. The book was in a cardboard box with
some old newspapers. That's how it always works. Was examined
by the company and decided that it was a grating
of six point or higher. Whatever that means. All I'm
saying is that's a lot of taco bell.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
At number three, I'm going top five. Shout out to
our local college football teams that are still alive. One
had to buy this weekend and we'll be an act
this Saturday. And then another one played on Saturday and
was impressive as you would expect. We're talking about the
Ferris State Bulldogs in Division two Round one of the playoffs,
hosting Northwood on Saturday afternoon, and it was all Bulldogs
(02:13):
in this one, sixty five to fourteen the final. They
improved a twelve to zero rank number one in the
country and Chase Carter.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
They just rotate quarterbacks.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Anyone come in and play quarterback if they want to.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Eleven of twenty one.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
One hundred and thirty three yards, two touchdowns, and I
int he rushed for over one hundred and fifty yards
and two more scores and they get it done. They
will host Ashland coming up on Saturday at Top Taggardfield
in Big Rapids.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
That's a one o'clock kick.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
We are going to carry that game on ninety six
to one, the game starting at noon with a coverage
and also a shout out to Hope College. They will
host Wisconsin Lacrosse, who comes in at seven and two
Hope at nine to one noon on Saturday. Tickets are
available Hope dot Edu at Ray and SEUs Smith Stadium,
so two right.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
In the area. At number two, sixty seven year old
Keith Price of Louisiana was hunting with his grandson and
it was time to come off the deer stand when
he heard some rustling down in the bushes. Turned out
it was a seven foot alligator right at the bottom
of his tree stand. The gator ended up biting his boot.
Fortunately the boot was thick enough for him to kick
(03:15):
the gator with the other boot and it scurried away.
And then the gator was taken out by a nuisance
gator hunter the next day, a nuisance gat hunt.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Where were they deer hunted?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
There where Louisiana.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I a great idea. I didn't know they had.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Good for the deer surviving that long in such a environment.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
It's a little warm.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah, almost got hit by hit by bullet. Yeah, I
got away from that too. And then there's a growing gator.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
What a roller coaster of emotion that was.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Going to be a deer I guess I'd pick Michigan.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
You know what, who knew? Pure Michigan moment.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
You want to talk about a deer hunting store.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Yeah, went out to the tree blodder's nine footing gater
at the.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Bottom of it, and that I can't wait for Michigan
out of doors to cover that. Oh gosh, finally at
number one on the list, a motorist in western North
Carolina escaped injury. Well, I'll let you hear the nine
to one one call.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Okay, you may not believe me, but I just kind
of bold eagle drop a cat through my windshield.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
It absolutely shattered my windshield.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I do believe you, honestly.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Okay, I had a witness.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
You're like, that is the craziest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
How often have you driven through the Great Smoky Mountains
on your way to spring break? Or maybe you just
went to the Great Smoky Mountains? The call there to
nine one one happened just outside the park. It's not
clear how the feline slipped from the eagles talents.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Apparently it had already passed away at old age.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, that picture is insane. She's like she's alive.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It would right right through.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Do you guys do me a favorite? Just don't say
anything of my wife, because you know.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
We're going to the Great Smoky Mountains.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
You know that happened to one of our old coworkers here.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Remember his engine suddenly blew out because of a tree
trunk allegedly, Oh remember that guy?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
That guy?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yea, his elevator didn't stop at all. The flooris to
