Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is West Michigan's morning News. Steve Kelly, Laurence Smith.
That's Tony Brooks send Adam Roe show on this Tuesday,
February eighteenth, twenty twenty five. Top five ton Schmidty, Where
do we start?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Number five? Tell me you're old without telling me you're old?
TikToker Cool Whittaker posted a video of dad playing twister
with the family and then falling over when his Apple
Watch called emergency services because they thought he needed help.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Wisk y'all the film, so.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
He said, I was playing twister and I fell, So
please do not hurry. Ooh that's humbling, laughing lady, not helpful.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Number four.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
A truck out of Florida Highway overturned while going around
a curve and spilled an estimated forty four thousand pounds
of beer. The Florida Highway Patrol shared photos on social
media showing hundreds of care and beer, including Budweiser and
some of the good stuff bush Light in the media
in Interstate seventy five that was near mile marker two
(01:08):
thirty six.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
By the Way.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Investigators say the driver lost control while going around to curve.
The contents had nothing to do with the crash. However,
Fier officials had no shortage of volunteers I guess in
helping to clean things up at number three in the list.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
At number three. While USA and Canada get to rematch
in hockey in the championship game of the four nations
face off, let's rewind a little bit to their first
encounter Saturday night in Montreal. With the ongoing political tension
between the two nations. Off the ice, the mostly Canadian
crowd booed quite soundly during the playing of the US
national anthem. This has been a big thing lately in
(01:43):
NHL and NBA games. Then the match quickly decided into chaos,
three fights breaking out between players in the first nine seconds.
Both USA and Canada head coaches chalked it up to
the competitive spirit of the teams for their nations and
the fact that the NHL's best from both teams have
not played each other in ten years, as the NHL
did not send players to the Winter Olympics in twenty
(02:04):
eighteen or twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
That didn't help either.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I would say expect the championship game on Thursday night
in Boston to be a bit spirited.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Looking forward to me, I had number two on the list.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
A real estate agent and Omaha, Nebraska got quite a
surprise when she walked onto her back porch to find
a possum struggling to breathe. She looked next to the
possum and the possum had eaten her entire chocolate moose
cake that she had just purchased from Costco. And so
the reason it couldn't breathe was because it had overeaten.
It is now at a rehabilitation center and is expected
(02:37):
to make a full recovery.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
There's a lot going. There's a realtor that had a
cake and she left it out back.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
So it said that her fridge was full and because
it's cold outside, she has left her cake on the
back porch.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
H not smart, No, no, And what there was no
shovel to help the awesome I'm missing a big part
of the story here. This possum needs help is the
thought that came to most of those people.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Now the rehab center is selling shirts that say cake
bandit with a possum picture on it.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
What do they do with the possum once.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
It's yeah, pop it back out, man.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
You know, good advice. Finally, at number one on the list.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
A conservation officer was called to a New Hampshire grocery
store pronounced New Hampshire when a shipment of bananas was
found to be concealing an unwanted hitchhiker, this time a
venomous snake.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Enforcement Division said a
conservation officer arrived at Manchester Market basket and followed a
report that this snake was in a banana shipment. Who
knew that was part of his job description? It was
an ornate cat eyed snake, a venomous species native to Ecuador,
(03:54):
and luckily somebody knew. Mark Robowski, the vice president of
Rainforest Reptile Shows there in New Hampshire, who said was
really excited about the acquisition that he was. He came
right downtown and had lots to say. They're really an
adaptive snake that eats things like lizards and amphibians, and
(04:15):
people kept holding up their hands to him and saying,
just take the damn snake out.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Of here, will you.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I told you it's just not for me. It was
six years of a friendship before I realized one of
my buddies had three pet snakes and I'm no longer
friends with them. Well, you don't need that in your life.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
There's only one snake apparently not native to New Hampshire
that you can see you can keep as a pet.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Every other snake you can't. Good talk
