Speaker 1 (00:00):
Says West Michigan's Morning News. See Kelly Read, Keita, Lauren Smith,
see Adam Roach Show. I see a little snow coming down.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Two.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
We will get to that, plus a little traffic and
weather together.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
It is top five time, Lauren, Where do we start
Number five?

Speaker 4 (00:15):
I've got to follow up. Remember the viral drunken raccoon
who passed out in the liquor store.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Oh yeah, Well, the Virginia.

Speaker 4 (00:20):
Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority is decided to get in on
the fun, rolling out three new classic cocktails, the Rye
Rascal Sour, the Trash Panda Old Fashioned, and the Midnight
Masked gin Fizz. Come on now, Yes, they're all kind
of a to go cocktail kit at home if you will.

(00:42):
They say. Each cocktail has specific ingredients with a cheeky
little tagline. For instance, the trash Panda Old Fashioned is
a scrappy, no nonsense twist on the Classic, and the
Masked gin Fizz meant to drift downward and create a dark,
masked streak effect.

Speaker 5 (01:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
I just think it's fabulous that they've used a hammered
raccoon to push.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Boost Man Friends spend Away twas three weeks before Christmas
at number four in the list and in the prison yard,
a drone dropped a package that was found by a guard. Apparently,
an illicit meal was dropped into Lee Correctional Institution prison
by a drone. This on social media, but the guards

(01:28):
got it before the inmates could eat it. This Bishopsville
prison showed in the bag raw steak, crab legs and
old Bay with side baggies of marijuana and cigarettes.

Speaker 5 (01:44):
Oh, come on, there's a party.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Nothing adds to a meal like a little of that.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
No arrests apparently have been made, yet they're still trying
to track down the drone operator.

Speaker 6 (01:57):
Could it continue to be an historic year in Sea
for the Indiana Hoo's football team. Two days after leading
Indiana to its first Big Ten championship in Wait for It,
we told you yesterday fifty eight years Fernando Mendoza, their quarterback,
was announced yesterday as a Heisman Trophy finalist.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
There are four of them.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
Vandalin Vanderbilt excuse me, quarterback Diego Pavia, Notre Dame running
back Jeremiah Love, and Ohio State quarterback we faced in
that Big Ten championship game. Julliansaying you look at Mendoza, though,
and they've never had a Heisman Trophy winner at Indiana.
The closest they got was runner up with running back
Anthony Thomas. You know we finished runner up to remember

(02:39):
this guy for the Lions, Houston quarterback Andre ware back
in nineteen eighty nine. Hoy, So we'll find out Saturday night.
He's kind of the favorite, I think after winning that
championship game over Indiana, who they had lost to are
over Oha State thirty consecutive times dating back to nineteen
eighty eight.

Speaker 5 (02:59):
That's how big that was, Randy, Is this.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
The real deal? Is this a fluke for Indiana's a
one year.

Speaker 6 (03:04):
This is the real deal because last year they made
the college football Playoff. I didn't think they would have
a better year than they did last year, but they did.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Insane number two of them lest and number two is
rare that I jump into the sports world, but I
got a good laugh out of this. The Colts, on
the heels of losing their quarterback Daniel Jones to a
torn achilles on Sunday, are bringing in forty four year
old Philip Rivers for a workout today.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
I know that sounds old to you, but for football though.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Forty four years old and he's been retired.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
What a good two three years?

Speaker 5 (03:36):
Yeah, he hasn't played since twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
How do you talk somebody into that? Do you put
your name out there and say, hey, I just ran
the riverbank run and felt good.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
So if you need me, I.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
Can beat the forty four year old thing. Philip Rivers
just became a grandfather. No, but to have a grandfather
in the NFL, who's.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Got a stats book? Have there been any other grandfathers?

Speaker 4 (03:58):
They're talking about this last night at my friend and
her husband's like, you know, he's a grandpa.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
I'm like, well, I mean Kurt Water was old Warner. Yeah,
but I don't think he was a grampa. No.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
No, And I think this is the oldest right.

Speaker 5 (04:10):
Aaron Rodgers is still in kurtl Water? The great story
was I mean he was a grocery bag guy.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Standing finally number one of the lists of debate that's
torn families apart for years, with selection boxes thrown in
rage and stony silences around the dinner table. It says here,
but now the public have spoken and settled the matter
once and for all.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Die Hard is not a Christmas film.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
This according to forty four percent of those who responded
to a new poll in England. The narrowly out numbered
thirty eight percent argued Bruce Willis's blockbuster is festive. Another
five percent declared their favorite Christmas movie of all time,
and a further seventeen percent presumably have been embroiled in
this debate. And we're unsure Bruce Willis, by the way,

(04:57):
has waited on this thing and said it's a bla
thanking Bruce Willis movie and that's it.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
