The Week's Biggest Headlines

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here are the facts with human torch was denied a
bank over ped nine good Chad lines. All Right, every
Monday I scour the internet for all the things that
probably aren't making the news but should. And this is
to me an exceptionally prime headlines this week, goodine. So,
Spanish police have busted a criminal group that has been

(00:23):
stealing restaurant chairs. This is legit. Spain's National police have
been on this case for a while, apparently announcing they've
arrested seven people suspected of stealing more than eleven hundred
chairs from outdoor seating areas and restaurants in Madrid, as
well as another nearby municipality. They did all of this

(00:43):
in under two months, more than eleven hundred chairs. A
group of six men and one woman worked at night
to pilford chairs from eighteen different establishments. The impact of
stolen property almost seventy thousand dollars, according to cops. Who
comes up with I mean, I've gone to a lot

(01:04):
of restaurants in West Michigan and I'm like, man, these
are really nice chairs. I love the furniture patio stuff
I get. But two months filling eleven hundred chairs, you
were determined, bad bye, hoisting a kayak paddle and putting
yourself into a pumpkin. Yes, that's right. The famous tradition
in Oregon went down over the weekend where people literally

(01:26):
carved themselves into giant pumpkins and float themselves down the
river in a race that has been going on since
two thousand and four. It's the West Coast Giant Pumpkin
Regatta of this year's winter. Dressing up as Buddy the
Elf from the movie Elf. You know what, euro official
Christmas station, We can respect that. Badbye. And finally, this

(01:49):
makes me so irritated because it's one of my favorite foods.
Texas Tech has had to ban the throwing of tortillas
by fans on kickoff after the Red Raiders were penalized
twice and fine for objects being thrown onto the field
in their latest home game. Their athletic directors and fans
entering the stadium would be instructed to discard the tortillas

(02:12):
and there would be reminders before kickoff for anyone who
took the shells and wanted to throw them on the field.
Anyone caught would have their ticket privileges revoked for the
rest of the academic year across all sports. I had
never heard of this. Why would you pick tortillas? They're delicious.
You should be eating tacos instead of throwing that on
the field. Good, fine, right, you see a good one.

(02:35):
You can be a tortilla band. Go ahead and send
them to me at West Michigan Star Adlines every Monday,
