Speaker 1 (00:00):
And this is West Michigan's Morning New Steve Kelly, Brett Kata,
Lawrence Smith. That's Adam Arocho. Guess what it's no longer
Monday or Tuesdays? Wednesday, September Tour twenty four, twenty twenty
five and Schmidty, where do we start Today's top five?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Number five runner Moshi Later Finn has a very interesting
style of running marathons and name balancing a pineapple on
his head, and he continued over the weekend at the
Berlin Marathon ran an eleven minute mile, which means for
five hours, four minutes and twenty five seconds. He balanced
that pineapple on his head. What not the first stunt
(00:33):
for Later fiend. He has previously run eleven marathons with
a pineapple and did one with a flower pot. He's
become a local celebrity and there's a documentary coming out
about him.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Oh boy, it reminds me of a watch in the
movie Pulp Fiction. But if you get it, you get yeah. Otherwise,
why it's a connection with the pineapple in this cast
he's just got great balance.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Oh yeah, but you.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Could number four in the listen bull moose that fell
into an abandoned well in Maine was pulled to safety
during an elaborate five hour rescue. That's right. When you're
a first responder, you just never know well you will
encounter on the job. The operation happened Wednesday after Cole Brown,
who his family owned the land in northern Maine, spotted
(01:22):
a pair of antlers and hurting noise and initially thought
it was turkeys, but upon closer inspection, realized it was
something a lot bigger. I don't know if you've ever
seen a moose up close, but they're giant. They got
somebody from the main Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife
to tranquilize the thing and then fish some straps under
(01:42):
it and then yank the bad boy out. Once the
sedation wore off, it took off running. I think we've
all been in that situation before, Steve.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
We're gonna have quite a coaching carousel if this continues
by the end of the season. When it comes to
college football. Did you see this? Yesterday? Oklahoma State announced
the firing of long time head coach Mike Gundy, who
used to play for the Cowboys back in the day.
Amid a one and two start, they got absolutely drilled
by organ in Week two, but this was the topper.
(02:12):
They lost to Tulsa in state rival nineteen to twelve
last Friday. It was just a matter of time, and
Chad Weiberg, the athletic director, emphasized after making a decision
that this quote was in the best interest of movie
the program forward in the long term. Here's the thing.
Kirk Farrens, Iways head coach, is the longest tenured FBS coach.
(02:33):
He was there hired in nineteen ninety nine, twenty first
season from Mike Gundy. He was the second most tenured
coach in college football in FBS ranks.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
So if you can call a girlfriend from high school,
a girlfriend lives down there, and she posted this five
page thing on Facebook about how pog is about it.
Oh wow, Yeah, I mean, they're passionate about their football
down there, and I think Oklahom mistake is kind of
the not so much team in that state. But my gosh,
(03:06):
they're passionate about their football.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah, And like I said, when it's one of your
own and alumni, that's tough, especially as long as he's
been there. But they have not been good.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
And number two, congratulations to Michigan's own Betty Kellenberger, who
at eighty years old, became the oldest woman to complete
the Appalachian Trail. She tried back in twenty twenty two
but failed because she got lime disease, tried in twenty
twenty three but failed when she fell off a mountain,
and in twenty twenty four her journey was cut short
by Hurricane Helene. She never gave up, and here's her
(03:38):
reaction after getting down off the mountain.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Oh boy, I'm done, I'm done. I'm done.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yes, congratulations Betty, My gosh, can you think of the
chaf I mean, that's you.

thighs that rub together at that point.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Oh I don't know why we would continue at number.
Speaker 3 (04:15):

Speaker 1 (04:17):

New Jersey gathered two thousand and three hundred and fifty
eight people to play catch and break it, getness World Record.
