Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Interesting story going on upstate New York in I believe Whitehall,
New York. And someone texted this to us. This is
Whitehall is a town I think about sixty seventy miles
north of Albany, New York. Okay. So in the Times
Union newspaper, which is online Times Union dot com, the
headline is in Whitehall officials hope a beaver clogged the
water system. I'm like, oh my god, I knew I
(00:28):
had heard that Whitehall is without water. They've been without
water for their citizens since I believe Sunday, no tap
water at all because apparently the water they just don't
have enough water in the system to feed the town
the water it needs. So but according to this headline,
someone thought a beaver clogged the intake or something. There's
a beaver, a roe, a rogue beaver.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
That's so funny to me.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Beaver's the funniest animals. Well, yeah, of course they bring
all sorts of I hate when my bees, I know.
But Froggy Froggy loved the part of the story. He
was asking, well, did they send a diver in to
dive looking for beaver. Was there a beaver diver? Do
you have to look for them? Well, no, but they
(01:15):
have to go into I think it's Pine Lake. They
have to go into the lake to figure out what's
clogging the system. They think maybe a beaver. But I
read the whole story. There's no one mention of a
beaver in the entire story, just the just the headline.
It grabbed me. Bait and switch, the beaver. Bait and
switch is what they did. I thought bea diving was
all the rage. I thought so too. I was hoping
(01:36):
it would be part of the story. Anyway. So if
you know anyone or are you listening to us up
there in near white Hall, we're thinking about you because
being without water is a major, major issue and it's
not to be laughed at. But if there is a beaver,
and then get out, get out of beaver? Yeah, Ams
Gray beaver Bay. Okay, what do you want to do?
(02:00):
We have a game to play today. Do you want
to play something fun? Should we give a feud? We
have a game. Do you have a fun game? We
can save the game for another day and do a
feud for sure. Well, what what are you teasing me for?
