Speaker 3 (01:17):
Breton uh if it's a pond. I'm not going in
because of that.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
I'm with Brett, I'm not jumping into weird water.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah. This guy went under the dock because somebody said
it looked like a really creepy turtle down it. And
not only did he put his goggles on and just
look from the top, he pulled it out of it.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I've seen what Chris pulls out with a fishing line.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
No, thank you, right, what's an alligator? Snapping turtle? You
don't mess around with those. They're huge.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Just proof that if you don't want to go into
the dock, it stops waiting for you.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
You ever got seen the Turtleman? Remember that series?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Turtleman series?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Oh yeah, there's a guy who went in and he
would capture snapping turtle. I had him on the ear
one time. Course you did fascinated.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I bet you. I'll put money on it. Yeah, it
was off. If he's still.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Around, he's missing a couple limbs.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
With bare feet because they bury themselves in the mudd.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
We're gonna do an update on this, Oh yeah, we are.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Hey number three. Dawn Staley. Yesterday, South Carolina head coach
women's basketball was on a podcast with two NBA players
called post Moves, and this is what she revealed.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
If the Knicks would have offered me the job, I
would have had to do it. Okay, not just for me,
it's for women. For just a break open that that
I would have had to enter the New York Knicks.
And I'm from Philly, but is the freaking New York Knicks.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
So there you go. She had a formal interview. Remember
when they had their vacancy, they ended up hiring Mike Brown,
who has bounced around in the NBA. But she had
a formal interview with the Knicks and said, I would
have taken the job if they would have offered it
to me.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
The other breaking news on that is a podcast where
the audios could so yeah wow, that was amazing.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
And number two Massachusetts solicit its residents to submit new
submissions for a state flag and a state motto, and
they did not disappoint. One of the flags submitted was
the state dinosaur, which looks like a raptor carrying a
dunkin Donuts cup waiting under a doc Another submission for
the flag was the famous three to twenty eight scoreboard
(03:31):
when the Patriots came back to beat the Falcons in
the Super Bowl. But some of these mottos that didn't
make it were hilarious. In cod we trust, the Gateway
to New Hampshire and my favorite witch free since sixteen
ninety three.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Oh that's clever.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I like that one.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
We're still doing that. Huh. The body mcboat faces in
the world haven't ruined that?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Nope. Finally a number one on the list. A postcard
lost in the mail for seventy two years seventy two
years arrived at an Illinois post office, where officials were
able to track down the contact. Now eighty eight years old,
the postcard, sent by Alan Ball to his parents, Frederick
and Elizabeth in nineteen fifty three, just arrived at the
(04:16):
Ottawa Post Office, where Master Mark Thompson took an interest
in the mystery. He said the card, which depicts the
UN building in New York, was likely mishandled by the
post office inside the United Nations ended up lost in
a crevice, ooh or other unseen location for decades before
(04:36):
finding itself back in circulation. That's when they were able
to track down the dude that sent it. Can you imagine,
Oh my god, he's eighty eight. He's still probably you know,
not clear on some stuff. I get it.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
We'll all be.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
There, okay, diving under a dock or into a crevis.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I mean, if it's at the un I gotta go
with the crevis. But if it's a crevice under a dock.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
When we've got time, I found the turtleman call wait
to hear this guy.
