we start?

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Well?

Speaker 3 (00:13):
At number five, it is now quite viral on TikTok.
A small houseboat that has just been floating along the
waters of the Saint Clair River into Lake Huron has
not just caught the fascination of witnesses in social media,
but now the Coast Guard has headed out to check
on this thing. Apparently people were concerned that maybe this
was not a manned boat any longer. Nope, everybody's good.

(00:36):
According to Lieutenant Samuel Rodriguez, his agency actually tracks the
recreational homemade houseboat down around eleven am. The other morning
voter was not in distress, saying I'm doing just fine,
just getting some nice views.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
Of the waterfront.

Okay to the everyone has their strokes, I guess.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
In a sort of related way.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
At number four the list be careful who you trust
with your life. A woman in Thailand shocked temple staff
when she started moving in her coffin after being brought
in by her brother or cremation.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
What actually, I want to hear the background, give the
background story from the outskirts of Bangkok.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Apparently the brother, who was pretty sure she'd moved along,
threw her in a coffin, drove her three hundred miles
to this temple where they do such thing. That's when
the people at the temple heard knocking and opened the
door and saw her blinking.

Speaker 5 (01:36):
That would freak me out.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Apparently the folks at the temple will take care of
any medical costs. We're not sure if any charges are
expected from her brother because he turned around left.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
See anyone who gasped right there has not grown up
with siblings in these shows.

I'll tell you what, Sarah Lowe, I think I've had
about enough.

a month and a half away.

Speaker 7 (02:05):
Smitty form another season with the Grand Rapids rise. Another
promotional calendar came out. Everyone's excited. January ninth, they opened
on the road. But before we could get to that,
we had our first ever twenty twenty five Major League

Spain Madrid from Indiana University or the University of Indiana,
won eleventh overall. Jordan Wilson, an outside hitter from Arizona
in the third round, and Hattie Bray in the fourth
round out of Marquette, a middle blocker.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
So it's gonna be a lot of fun.

Speaker 7 (02:46):
This was the first ever time they infused the college draft,
and so some great young talent, as you know we've had,
but you just add to the mix and here we go.
Third season. I remember, now it's Major League Volleyball.

Whinshi start.

Speaker 5 (03:00):

Speaker 4 (03:03):
Yep, well done at number two.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Monster rats in the United Kingdom have now caused one
point seven billion dollars in damage to electric vehicles. Turns
out they really like to eat the wiring because the
wearing has peanut oil in it. I don't know why
the wearing has peanut oil in it, but they think
it's food. And now they have caused one point seven
billion dollars worth of damage the reason I do this

(03:25):
story is because I was changing the oil on Alexis's
car recently, and a squirrel has made a nest in
the hood of her car.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Oh yeah, you can change the oil in a car.

Speaker 2 (03:35):

oil in.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Finally a number one on the list, a ninety five
year old Texas man who's been driving city buses for
twenty seven years, has been named the world's oldest bus
driver by Guinness Book of World Records. That's right, he's
still driving. Wichita falls man Raymond Hagar ninety four and
he is now in the Guinness Book of World Records.

(04:18):
He said he started driving at the age of fourteen,
also illegal, and quickly found he enjoyed driving larger vehicles,
so God bless him. If you've seen the video of him,
he hops up the stairs, jumps behind the wheel of
the bus and everybody goes wherever they need to go.

Speaker 7 (04:35):
Actually, back then, it probably wasn't illegal at fourteen and
number two US.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
I want to see what his route is.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Are we more concerned he's in a bus rather? I mean,
