Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is West Michigan's Morning. You used humorous for crying out?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Well? Yes, uh?
Speaker 1 (00:06):
It is Tuesday, October twenty first, twenty twenty five, Steve Kelly,
breb Kata, Lawrence Smith, Adam Or road Show.
Speaker 2 (00:13):

Speaker 3 (00:17):
The Science of Scare Project has revealed its twenty twenty
five list of the scariest movies according to Science now
in that top ten includes the Exorcism of Emily Rose
at number nine. That's my personal scariest. I saw that
my freshman year at Grand Valley. If you have not
seen it, she is possessed in a dorm room.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I slept with my roommate in her bunk bed.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Oh because you were so scared about the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Actually, I figured if that did happen and a portal
did open, I would throw her in front of me.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I didn't meet a couple of gals in college that
were kind of frightening.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I get it was that kind of hazing there.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Oh yeah, yes, right in top five the Conjuring, Insidious,
skinnemer Host and Sinister as the scariest movie according to Science.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yeah, I have this Psycho was kind of spooky to me.
I guess I haven't seen that many new ones.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah, all the Sinister's Bad.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I sort of like the scary movies that show up
on AMC this season, just because they're funny to me,
because they're so campy.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I saw a funny TikTok that said, hey, listen, if
I tell you I like scary movies, I mean hocus
Pocus and Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, I want to see something that you know makes
me not want to go out into my living room
in the middle of the ninth.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
It's officially Halloween season. At the Bikitas, we watched the
original Halloween.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, that's a good one that always kicks it.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Number four in the list, a bear wandered into a
California zoo and interacted in quotes with the families of
the facility's residents before peacefully leaving through a service gate
the Sequoia Park Zoo in Eureka. Sit on social media
and you can see it on camera. At the bear
somehow walked right in, walked up to some of the
cages and appeared to be you know, giving him the
(02:00):
skinny on what it's like on the outside. I'm not
sure that he passed any keys already files through the
fence to help them get out, but apparently left on
his own a court.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Nobody was injured. Hey, yogi, kind of keys, right? How
about a picnic basket.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
NBA tips off tonight another season, and it's gonna look
different because of the new eleven year media agreements with Disney,
NBC and Peacock Network getting back of the game and
a newcomer and Amazon Prime Video, which seems to be
snatching up play by play rights wherever it goes.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
This thing they didn't start yesterday when that was closed exactly.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
The NBA returns to NBC excuse me for the first
time since two thousand and two, beginning with opening night tonight.
Just two games on the docket. Both will be at
NBC and Peacock Network. Seven thirty tonight Houston against the
defending NBA champions, of course, in their hometown, Oklahoma City
on Wood TV, and then ten o'clock Golden State at
the LA Lakers. Pistons will open up tomorrow night in
(02:57):
Chicago eight o'clock tip off. We'll have six won the
game and as a part of the coverage this year,
Michael Jordan himself is going to be part of the
broadcast crew with Relac.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yes, must need the money exactly.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
At number two. You can never underestimate the financial power
surrounding anything involved with Taylor Swift. In the movie she
released with her latest album, she was wearing what the
article calls a vintage aquarium T shirt from the nineties,
and that T shirt hadn't been produced since nineteen ninety five.
It was from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Everybody wanted this
(03:32):
T shirt, so the aquarium started printing them again, and
in forty eight hours they raised two million dollars for
the aquarium's conservation program by selling this shirt.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
By the way, the radiothon for Helen of US Children's
Hospital between Star one and five point seven B ninety
three and Wood Radio will be involved once again.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Is early December, like the fourth fifth h.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah, that first Thursday, Friday, fourth thif.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
If anybody knows how to get a hold of tailor
between now and then, no got the.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Waking up with Wood T shirts she could wear? Well,
there go a song on her new album called Wood Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Finally Number one on our list today it's the police
audio that really makes the story.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
They're flagging me down. There's a surfer in the water
was hit by an otter.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Who knew.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Apparently, Isabelle was surfing on Wednesday evening in Santa Cruz.
She felt something nibble her foot didn't break the skin,
just so you know, jumped off her board and an
otter jumped on.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Apparently this is something they have to deal with there.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Isabelle is the human.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I thought that was the otter they had.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
They're like, Isabelle again taking stuff that's not hers.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Maybe the otter just wanted to turn
