Speaker 2 (00:03):
I can see Adam Rocho to my right, slightly to
my right, but directly in front of me, Brett Pikita
to my left.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Ladies and gentlemen, Laurence Smith.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It is Friday, August twenty ninth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
That must mean top five times Schmidty, Where do we
start at number five?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
A prisoner who died and was brought back to life
is now arguing he has finished serving his life sentence.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
That's number five. Wow, and Iowa, how do you argue
with don?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Right? And Iowa?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Inmate has been trying to appeal this for years now.
Benjamin Schreiber was convicted of murder back in nineteen ninety six.
Clever it's serving life without parole, but had a heart
attack and his study was revived against his DNR wishes,
and now is saying, well then I'm good. See y'all.
(01:00):
Later a judge said, no, you have to be dead dead,
oh dead dead, not just I'm just regular dead dead dead.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
That's a good one.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
That's like something one of the cartoons, isn't that.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
It's like something out of the cartoons.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
There's one life.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
That's a number four the list. Police in Texas say
a large snake caught trespassing at an Austin car wash
was released back into the wild with a stern talking
to but no ticket issue. The Austin Police Association, that's
why they're still there.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Nobody.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I mean they get shotguns and bulletproof vests. Give these
cops a shovel for God's sakes. The Austin Police Association
set on social media that officers encountered a slippery suspect
at the Express car wash in the city. You got
to see a picture of this thing. They stretched the
thing out. It looks like it's forty five feet long.
I could be exaggerating a little bit. Comments under the
(01:50):
post said the serpent appeared to be a non venomous
Western rat snake.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Just so you know, you don't have to put non venomous.
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, still out there if you're headed to Austin this weekend.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Rat snake is creepy. It's just like alligator turtle that
you had. You know, do you combine two animals.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
And one don't start with the turtle guy again, he
already did.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
It's unnatural.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
No, I'm stopping there.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Hey, I'm gonna go north to Big Rapids and top
Taggard Field.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
What a night last night?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
A top ten matchup in the nation in Division two
as the defending national champion Fair State Bulldogs kicked off
their twenty twenty five football season and number one ranked.
They got it done last night, thirty four to seventeen
over number nine Pittsburgh State, a team that beat them
a year ago in the open around the road. And
how about redshirt freshman quarterback Wyatt Bower. He ran for
(02:37):
a game high ninety nine yards and two rushing touchdowns,
was eleven of eighteen through the air one hundred and.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Twelve yards and a touchdown. The Bulldogs start the season
at one to zero.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I don't know that I've ever known more than one Wyatt.
It's just not a name you hear very often.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
And I covered him back in the day Corona High School.
He's got a twin and they're both playing for Ferris.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
What's the twins name are they? W's I think so.
I He'll double check you a little research. Get back
to me on that.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
At number two. Heading over to Spain, where an angry
patron set fire to a cafe because they ran out
of mayonnaise. He talked to two different waiters to try
to get mayo for his sandwich. Both of them said, sorry, sir,
we are out of mayonnaise. So we went to a
nearby gas station, got a leader of petrol, poured it
into the cafe and set it on fire.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
You can't do that.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
No, it's just mayonnaise, and it might have saved your life,
because that's the thing that goes bad though first.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So it sits out there in the sun in Spain.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I've had some questionable mayo. It's never been too terrible.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Worst case you get a little skinnier. Well it is
that quick update. By the way, Terrek Fower, Terris Wyatt,
and Arrek.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Wyatt and Tarrek one played quarterback, one played wide receiver.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
So well that's cute.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, they threw to each.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
At number one on the list Mundane Wayward, space snowball
or extraterrestrial visitor.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
That's right, que the X Files music.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Astronomers believe that our solar system's latest and only third
ever confirmed interstellar visitor, three I Atlas, is almost certainly
a comet, but lingering questions about the object means it's
not yet an open and shutcase. Amid that uncertainty, famed
(04:26):
Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb is pushing the possibility that the
interstellar Interloper is an extraterrestrial artifact, perhaps even an alien mothership,
here to menace or observe us. You be the judge when, which,
though it sounds scary, could be interpret is a good thing.
(04:47):
According to some, that's it. I don't know how long
it's going to take for it to get here, and
it's going to be like one hundred and fifty million
miles away, so even if they put a shore crew out,
we'll all be gone. So there, yeah, something our kids
can worry about. That's today's top five. Thank you all
for being here.
