twenty five, and that means top five times Schmidty. Where

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Number four in the list. Emergency responders in Connecticut were
called to a playground for an unusual rescue oh, this
is this fifteen minutes of fame. A forty year old
man became wedged inside the middle portion of a tube slide.
Come on now, it's four thirty in the afternoon, so
I don't know if alcohol's an issue here, but the
(01:35):
town of Vernon Fire Department set on social media that
Cruz responded alongside Vernon Ems Vernon PD, so we got
everybody in Vernon out for this cat. He went headfirst
down the tube slide, got wedged in their horror. They'll
be talking about this in Vernon for a years. The
problem is is that he buckled in on himself. So
(01:55):
it wasn't necessarily that he was too big to go
down the tube. It's that he would and wedgedahli in
for half an hour.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Is he from Vernon had to be terrifying he might
have to move I who wouldn't think so too.

He went to the emergency room and it's just fine
outside of his ego.

let it happen. In an announcement on Friday of its
findings from Michigan sign stealing scandal, the NCAA acknowledge that
(02:41):
Stalin's Stallions engaged in in person scouting from the CMU
sideline early on in the twenty twenty three season by
disguised himself. Remember on the Netflix special which I saw,

a picture of himself, Like, does that really.

chipwas sideline, Remember there was a connection with him and
some other staffers on CMU when they worked at Michigan
with Connor Stout, who cares.
