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.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Okay. So in the Times Union.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
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 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
(00:38):
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 rogue beaver.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
That's so funny to me. Beaver's the funniest animals. Well, yeah,
of course they bring all sorts of thing. I hate
one of my bee, I know.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
But Froggy Froggy loved the part of the story. He
was asking, well, did they send a diver in to
dive looking for beaver.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Was there a beaver diver? Do you have to look
for them?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Well, no, but they 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.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
It grabbed me. Bait and switch, the beaver. Bait and switch.
That's what they did. I thought beaver diving was all
the rage.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I thought so too. I was hoping 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 in it,
get out, just get out of beaver Yeah, as gray
Beaver Bay. Okay, what do you want to do? We
(02:01):
have a game to play today. Do you want to
play something fun? Should we a feud?
Speaker 3 (02:04):

We can save the game for another day and do
a feud for sure. Well, what what are you teasing
me for? Well, what's going on? You have a game?
