The Morning Quickie: Drunken raccoon (12/03/25)

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Ma'am, I'm time for in the morning quickie on ninety
a rock brought to you by Barjo Forday. Sixty six
degrees across the coast right now with a high of
seventy three, seventy three the average temperature around the Bay Area.
Some of this cloud cover is going to turn into
blue skies over the next few hours and then got

(00:21):
low fifty eight tonight, fifty five tomorrow, rains again on
Saturday for another wave of cold for us. This is
what we love, the wave of coolish cold front since
Florida A jagon boy, Hey, good morning crash.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
And if you haven't been on the Howard Franklin Bridge recently,
well I might not be aware that that the demolition
is still continuing over on the northbound span now. The
crews are systematically removing the old bridge, starting from the
center and working outward in both directions. And while that's happening,
new construction is still continuing. So even though we do
have all the new lanes open that have been open

(00:54):
for several months now, they're still finishing up the construction
that includes a total of eight new lanes, with that
four for general use and then the for future future
express lane lanes as well as the new shared use
path for bicyclist end Pedestriyes, I reached out to.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Me earlier and asked if they were going to put
it like a cage covering over the top of the walkway.
I don't know the answer to that.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
I don't think so, not from my SnO open air
and I've seen, but I could be wrong. One thing's
for sure though, due to the high volume of crashes
and aggressive driving over one thousand annually since twenty twenty two,
they've announced that the speed limit on the Howard Franklin
Bridge is going to temporarily drop from sixty to fifty
five miles per hour and that takes effect next week.

(01:40):
So plan accordingly. It drops to fifty five, and it's
only while construction is going to be happening, which is
expected to be completed sometime next spring.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
When you see some of that construction and to see
the arrows, to move over, move over early, so you
can put out anybody that's working out there out of danger.
Slop over when you see the arrows, all.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Right, for sure, So hey shout out to her, to
anybody that is, you know, on the force, the police force,
especially those right now over in Sarasota that had to wrangle.
Do you see this video of this fourteen foot gator
over what six and sixty pounds?

Speaker 1 (02:12):
It looks like a like could be close to a
record or something.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
A dozen deputies ended up having to carry this thing
as it was right there in front of somebody's front door,
wanting to make its way inside for you know, a
little Christmas activity maybe, But yes, they said it weighed
over six hundred pounds, is fourteen foot long, was trapped
and released at an alligator farm. Not all heroes wear capes.
Sometimes they just got that bad is a swing and

(02:36):
say or she's a maybe it's a heat. Typically females
don't get larger than ten feets. Okay, so yeah, so
unless this is a rare one, who knows, you know,
things do happen. All right, speaking of long, how long
do you think you could sing one sustained note? That
means that same key? How long do you think he
could do that? Because of Richard Finger? The fourth now

(03:01):
has the record?

Speaker 1 (03:02):
All right, still a clip of it.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Now before we really reveal the answer. Yes, here's just
a small, small snippet of it.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
Okay, I said This is a small snippet. This is
a snippet of the same note. Sounds like my fire
alarm or.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Something, which, yeah, right there at the end, poor guy
looks like he was about to pass out and can't
say I blame him for that, and he guesses final guesses.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Let me see, I'm gonna go. I don't know, I'm going.
I'm going one minute, one full minute, I'm going one
full hour.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, one full hour. With hour that means he's not
breathing without.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
That circular breathing.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
At the same time, it was over two minutes. Minutes. Yeah,
big congratulations to him for that two minutes. Yeah. And finally,
animal control officers in near Richmond, Virginia shared some photos
after a mail raccoon broke into a liquor store last Friday.

(04:21):
Nice god, hammered and passed out in the bathroom.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Now it's not clear how we got in, but an
employee found him sprawled on the bathroom floor the next morning,
still unconscious. And you got to see the photos of this.
He knocked a bunch of bottles off the shelves, some
of them broke. He started licking up the booze and
that's when he ended up overserving himself.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
It's like, my friend Charlie reminds me of my buddy
Charlie Beck in college. Right there.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
They did let him sleep it off at an animal
shelter though, before he was released back into the.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Fine All right, what was the foot of choice?

Speaker 1 (04:59):
After what I'm talking about? I got all kinds of questions.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Pizzas you going for something cleaner.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
