Weird World Variety with Matt and Jesse
Two-Faced Calf Curiosities, Eclipse Animal Antics, and the Thrill of Skijoring
Prepare to have your mind stretched to its most whimsical limits, as we share the incredible tale of "Deux's Face," a calf with an extraordinary twist on life. Your curiosity will be piqued by our discussion of polycephaly, and you might find yourselves reflecting on the unexpected delights that nature gifts us, echoing those virtual anomalies in Fallout 76. Then, delve into the world of wildlife mysteries with Adam Hartstone Rose, who brings to light the curious behaviors exhibited by animals during solar eclipses. Picture Galapagos tortoises in an eclipse-driven flirtation or gibbons crooning eclipse ballads, while we unwrap the secrets behind these quirky animal escapades.
Strap on your skis and cowboy hat as we take you through the snowy rush of skijoring in Leadville, Colorado, where skiers and horses form an electrifying duo. You'll be mesmerized by the tales of camaraderie and skill at play, in a sport that’s as much about heritage as it is about the thrill of the race. From the odd to the awe-inspiring, join us for a rollercoaster of tales that promise to entertain, inform, and leave you in wonder at the myriad spectacles our world has to offer.
What's going on? What's going on? Are you weird yet? Seriously, how's everybody doing tonight? And, like Jesse said, are you weird yet? That's what I want to know. Well, let's hear it. Are you guys weird, yet?
Speaker 2:I'm not sure you are.
Speaker 1:I don't know either. I don't know either. I'll tell you what. We've got some awesome things in the news this week. So, like every week, if you don't know, we are a podcast that brings you weird and funny news every single week, and we're going to do that this week. So, without further ado, let's get into our first story. What do you say? All right? All right, here we go. Let's get into our first vault we go.
Speaker 2:That reminds me of the time I came out of vault 76.
Speaker 1:So you were times. I should say what, what happened when you came out of vault 76.
Speaker 2:I'd usually die pretty fast and forget stuff.
Speaker 1:So you die.
Speaker 2:And then well, I immediately fight a robot, like each time I play it.
Speaker 1:So this robot shows up.
Speaker 2:It's kind of like well, I exit the vault and you know, go down some steps and there's a robot there that's willing to kill people and I start shooting or I start attacking it like moron, and it usually kills me.
Speaker 1:This sounds very familiar. It should, I feel like we know this story.
Speaker 2:You should know it's the story so other with other man can talk. I'm sure other people would do.
Speaker 1:So is this what? It sounds like, you sneaking, and then all of a sudden, when you see the robot, Now it's more like Wait, do we have a? Oh man, I wish I had a like the. Remember the punch sound effect they used to have. Yeah, I think I have that somewhere and I don't. I can't find it now. I had a punch sound effect. Here we go. So, yeah, anyway, all right.
Speaker 2:So, besides our silly business, Well, this story kind of ties in with my story A little bit, if you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:Right. So if anybody doesn't know, we're referencing the game fallout 76. And when you get out of the vault, there's a lot of things that are messed up. What's some things that are messed up?
Speaker 2:Well, for instance, I've seen two headed cows, and that really ties into what the story is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that is one of the things that is messed up and, believe it or not, ladies and gentlemen, we do have some weird news related to this topic.
Speaker 2:There was a rare two-faced calf born last month on a Louisiana farm and it's flourishing despite the odds.
Speaker 1:Wait, wait, wait. Do I have a sound for that? Hold on. So basically, what you're saying is we're in fallout without a sound Fallout, without actually having been there. Yes, we're in fallout with the cow, here we go. I had to add that. All right, why don't you tell us how this came about and what's going on with this?
Speaker 2:A rare calf, born with two faces, four eyes, two doses, two mouths and two ears, continued to flourish Thursday.
Speaker 1:Continue to flourish.
Speaker 2:Thursday, eight days after its birth at a Southwest Louisiana farm.
Speaker 1:Probably means it's still alive.
Speaker 2:That's what their version of flourish means they're watching it intently. Let's see how many days it'll stay alive. This mutation is still alive. It's still there. The owners of Breaux Farms LLC and Cossinade Breaux Farms.
Speaker 1:I don't know what you're saying it's Breaux.
Speaker 2:I'm pretty sure that'd be Breaux, breaux, breaux, breaux Anyway.
Speaker 1:It's the Breaux Cord, breaux Cord.
Speaker 2:Breaux Cord Farms LLC and Cossinade, a community about 90 miles west of Baton Rouge, said the calf, which appeared normal, from the ears to the ears, the ears back Appeared.
Speaker 1:Huh.
Speaker 2:I just said appeared. Oh OK, Was named Duke's Face. Duke's is French for two. The chance of this type of birth is one in 400 million.
Speaker 1:You read that Duke's face. I read it as Doe Face, doe Face, whatever, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I mean, I don't see D-O-U-G-H, d-o, Dukes, eric and Don Breaux. Breaux said in a post on Facebook what are these names? We know this calf will have a short lifespan and will most likely only live a few days. That's kind of sad. Don Breaux said she has beaten. She has beaten a lot of odds by being born alive. Don Breaux. Most calves with polycephaly the condition of having more than one head are stillborn. Some live for several hours or days. According to Ripley's, believe it or not, the oldest living two-faced calf survived for 40 days. That's kind of sad. I wish they would live longer than that.
Speaker 1:You know, I've heard of animals having two heads, but I've never seen a cow have two heads. That's pretty crazy. That's like something straight out of a video game. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like you expect it in a video game in some sort of apocalyptic situation, but not in real life. You more or less think that that's out of somebody's imagination.
Speaker 2:We need to go there to see it. I want to go see it. Take some pictures Before it dies. Stand next to it. Do it again.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:At eight days old. How old is this article? When did it was posted?
Speaker 1:It just got published. Oh, this is recent.
Speaker 2:A Duke's face is making.
Speaker 1:I don't know how to say that Slow progress under the care of several veterinarians and the Broxies.
Speaker 2:Broxies or the Bro's, the Bro's, the Bro's, the Facebook post. She has trouble lifting her head, bro's like oh yeah, she has trouble lifting her head but is holding it up more and more. She is getting stronger. I forgot the woman voice. Again, don Bro said an update. I don't know, it's hard to tell when she is not standing on her own yet, so she is unable to nurse on her mom. We have been bottle feeding her from the start.
Speaker 1:That was beautiful, that was great acting.
Speaker 2:I meant to do it from the.
Speaker 1:Acting.
Speaker 2:I meant to do it from the beginning, but I kind of forgot to.
Speaker 1:No, that was great. Acting what? Why can't I talk what?
Speaker 2:do you? You can't, we can't talk at all tonight.
Speaker 1:Everybody applaud for his voice acting, his phenomenal voice acting. Yeah, anyway, next time you act, they might react like this I just need to read slow next time. All right, all right, all right. So let's keep going here. Let's see.
Speaker 2:Well, there is another article, Mike there might be another one.
Speaker 1:Wait, wait, wait. It has more info down here. Let's see what Really yeah.
Speaker 2:All right, are you sure? Yeah, yeah, this is the last one.
Speaker 1:This is the last part of it.
Speaker 2:Duke's face, or doface, is using a sling for support as she works on building her leg muscles. An update from the bros say that they brought her outside to get some sun and a little time with the other cows. The calf is not for sale Not that sad, because I would have bought it and one of their updates, the bro, said they are not allowing any visitors or photos. Oh, come on, we couldn't go get one anyway.
Speaker 1:That's a ball. Now, you can't prove it exists because there's no photos. Really, hold on, hold on, hold on. What do you guys think? Do you guys think that should be booed or not? Yeah, that's what we are thinking. That's what I thought.
Speaker 2:I really wanted a picture with this.
Speaker 1:Come on man, how are you not? Going to let people take pictures. Duke's face. It's not going to live that long. This is history, history in the making.
Speaker 2:Come on, and one of their updates, the bro, said they are not allowing any visitors or photos. For the calf's safety and for her well-being and our privacy we are not allowing any media involvement. So they can't prove it exists. They declined an Associated Press interview, so somebody obviously offered to buy it or something I'm assuming.
Speaker 1:I guess they probably got calls right away from media and everything.
Speaker 2:She does not appear to be suffering or any pain. Another Facebook post said we are monitoring her constantly and taking it day by day. She has beaten many odds, but only time will tell her fate. We are hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. This is the reality of caring for God's creations.
Speaker 1:Yeah, except we don't. I'm glad to have any photos. I glorified God right there, yeah, but we don't have any photos. Like, how are you going to prove it existed if you don't?
Speaker 2:have a photo I don't see. Well, they said they don't want photos taken, but they could have at least uploaded one of the runs.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that sounds sketchy, bro, that sounds sketchy.
Speaker 2:This could be quick If we're not even going to upload one.
Speaker 1:Maybe this is clickbait. It's clickbait, they're lying. They're lying.
Speaker 2:They're lying. Well, you heard about a two-faced calf, born apparently Supposedly.
Speaker 1:Here's a nice segue into our next article that you're going to do. Yeah, um, I don't know. There are things that cause mutations. Now, one thing we've never proven is what is solar eclipse cause of mutation? I? Wouldn't even think that that would do anything to a one, but doesn't that sound like another sci-fi game? Yeah, like where? Like it's the ominous solar eclipse and it caused a mutation in the animals.
Speaker 2:Hmm, I don't know. I mean, it's like a human turned into a werewolf, like.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know, I don't know, but this is your next article.
Speaker 2:I got another one about introduce us to what this is and related Uh well, matt already kind of gave you the kind of, but go ahead and give him the time. Spoiler, how do animals react during a total solar eclipse? Science is planned to find out in April. There's a solar eclipse coming up soon.
Speaker 1:So that means there's an investigation going down. There is a video. We could watch the video sometime, but for now is that flamingos. Yeah, that was the start of the video. So you know it's probably showing like B roll of a bunch of animals.
Speaker 2:All right, for now, let's see what this is, washington. When a total solar eclipse transforms day and the night, will tortoises start acting romantic? What Well, giraffe scallop, will ape sing odd notes?
Speaker 1:I don't know. I don't know the question and it is.
Speaker 2:I never thought to ask that is a strange, researchers will weird. That's weird for you. Well, here, on a weird variety, researchers will be standing by to observe how animals routines at the Fort Worth Zoo in Texas are disrupted when skies dim on April 8th. Hmm, they previously detected other strange animal behaviors in 2017 at a South Carolina zoo that was in the path of total darkness.
Speaker 1:All right, everybody say it together oh, oh.
Speaker 2:Oh, what's going to happen.
Speaker 1:All right, all right.
Speaker 2:I'm done. I'm done. What's going to?
Speaker 1:happen. To our astonishment, most of the animals did surprising things, said Adam Hartstone Rose, a North Carolina State University researcher, who led to observations published in the journal Animals Simple Animals. There you go.
Speaker 2:While there are many individual sightings of critters behaving bizarrely during historic eclipses, only in recent years have scientists started to rigorously study the altered behaviors of wild, domestic and zoo animals. Seven years ago, galapagos tortoises at the river banks zoo in Columbia, south Carolina, that generally do absolutely nothing all day. During the peak of the eclipse they all start breeding Whoa Gaze at Hartstone Raise. The cause of the behavior is still unclear.
Speaker 1:It's romantic, I guess.
Speaker 2:I think I see why would just say something about tortoises being romantic or turn the lights out. I made it. I made a pair of sea amangs, gibbons what Gibbons that usually call to each other in the morning, saying unusual tunes during the afternoon. Eclipse Interesting A few male giraffes began to gallop in apparent anxiety. The flamingos hover around their juveniles.
Speaker 1:Okay, I've got a theory about this. Well, me too. All right, hear me out, hear me out. I got a theory. Everything that we've seen in behavior also seems like it can be related to another thing which causes a change in behavior, and that is frequency. You ever studied that? How sound can affect the mind. I'm wondering during a solar eclipse, does the frequencies in the air change?
Speaker 2:Well, it's the moon blocking the sun, or the other way around.
Speaker 1:Oh, let me look here.
Speaker 2:It's a moon, I think, walking a sun right.
Speaker 1:Oh, I get them mixed up all the time.
Speaker 2:Just take this solar eclipse.
Speaker 1:I am.
Speaker 2:Well, to take what is moons ascending? What Ascending nude? Yeah, so it's the moon blocking the sun, the moon blocking the sun, yeah.
Speaker 1:I had a few.
Speaker 2:I mean, I was pretty sure that's what it was. It's like the one you see in all the movies, where the Mayans are got like the sort of on to something right there, because the sun emits ultraviolet rays and the rays probably have some sort of interference or whatever.
Speaker 1:I'm. I'm seeing a lot of trends of frequency involving everything in life, so like sound affecting everything, whether it's light emitting a certain frequency, whether it's radio waves, whether it's, you know, whether it's lunar, whether it's having to do with the universe. So I feel like a lot of changes that happen on the earth have to do with frequency. There's also rumors of different lights and frequencies being able to heal and being able to modify the body in certain ways too. So I'm wondering if it has anything to do with that. That's all.
Speaker 2:Well, the dress being anxious.
Speaker 1:Yeah. And they're mood changing and they were talking about them singing different tunes.
Speaker 2:The turtle breeding don't make a lot of sense to me, but the turtle breeding is kind of funny.
Speaker 1:All right, what else you got?
Speaker 2:in April, Hartstein raises team plans to study similar species in Texas to see if the behaviors they witnessed before in South Carolina point to larger patterns. Several other zoos along the path are also inviting visitors to help track animals, including zoos in Little Rock, Arkansas, Toledo, Ohio there you go. Indianapolis Interesting. This year's full solar eclipse in North America, chris Cross, is a different route than in 2017 and occurs in a different season, which give or giving researchers and citizen scientists opportunities to observe new habits.
Speaker 1:Well, so this sounds kind of exciting for them actually.
Speaker 2:So animals know some. They know stuff like they can sense things.
Speaker 1:The animals are, like we've said before. They're smarter than we give them credit for a lot so, and I feel like they have instincts based off those frequencies and things that interrupt their daily lives.
Speaker 2:So they know something's off.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like. I feel like this is a really cool science experiment. This is definitely something they should study.
Speaker 2:It's really high stakes. We have a really short period to observe them and we can't repeat the experiment Said it? Oh, there's another woman voice. It's really high stakes. We have a really short period to observe them. We can't repeat the experiments that Jennifer Saruta, university of Tennessee, entomologists who observed a honeybee colonies, who observed honeybee colonies during the 2017 eclipse, nice. The honeybees that Saruta studied decreased foraging during the eclipse, as they usually would at night, except for those from the hungriest hives. Okay, is that a woman?
Speaker 1:I can't tell, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Normally it's during a solar eclipse is a conflict between their internal rhythms and external environment, said University of Alberta's Olav repel I don't know if that's man or woman adding that bees rely on polarized light from the Sunday navigate. Yeah, cuz it could be. Both could be either, yeah. Nate Bickford, an animal researcher at Oregon Institute of Technology, said that Solar eclipses actually mimic short, fast moving storms when skies darken and many animals Take shelter.
Speaker 1:Man. So this okay, so it keeps going. But basically what they're doing is they're just waiting to the eclipse happens and they're studying Different types of animals to see what their reactions are. And that's interesting because you would have think they would have done this by now. You would have thought, you would have thought, yeah, but I mean like you would have thought they would have studied this more in depth, with how much we study animals, like we do study animals pretty in depth, but it's pretty interesting that they're just now, in recent years, getting to Studying solar eclipses cause against animals. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2:Well, there were a bunch of clowns the year before, that's true, we did talk about the clown them the clown Demik of 1984.
Speaker 1:I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2:Except it was 2016.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I don't know. That seems very interesting. As far as, like animals, reactions to solar eclipses, that's crazy. But yeah, I'll tell you what. Let that leads us right into our next section. Here we go, take it away.
Speaker 2:Matthew.
Speaker 1:All right. So our next section, speaking of animals. I thought this was interesting because it has to do what with this?
Speaker 1:It has to do with horses, all right, so I thought it was interesting. I thought it was interesting because I was like this is crazy, so let's check this out. This is the title, and I've seen this pop up in social media lately and get more famous. This is actually a thing. I was like what is going on? So recently we talked about all these new trends coming out and different things going on. This is one of those crazy trends. What do you get when you cross rodeo with skiing?
Speaker 2:The wild and wacky skidgering Skidgering Now.
Speaker 1:I'm going to show you a short video on this and, for our listeners at home, we will describe what is happening in the video and this will tell you a little bit about it. Should show you a little bit about the sport. Aside from the ad, yeah we're not sponsored by them, so sorry guys, we are not. Here we go.
Speaker 2:What in the? So the guy is skiing behind the horse.
Speaker 1:Yes, so for our listeners on screen, they are going down a snowy trail and one of them is riding the horse, so that's the, basically the driver, the guy behind is on a rope and he's going through an obstacle course on skis. Now he has to take the stick. Watch this again. He has to take the stick and catch rings on the way down this obstacle course and he gets points for how well he does it. That's crazy for him, you know, not wrecking and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2:It looked kind of fun. This is one of the sports I saw.
Speaker 1:There was another one that I saw that included kind of like moguls. So they were Moguls, yeah, so they were skiing and they would ramp off these moguls, but the horse was.
Speaker 2:Wait, what's a?
Speaker 1:mogul Just like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like a hill. When you said moguls, I thought you were talking about a rich person.
Speaker 1:No, moguls is what they talk about in skiing, when they go down the hill and they're doing the knee thing, where they're bouncing off the hills and then they ramp. Yeah, so there was one like this, but with moguls. But, as you can see, this is a very popular thing now. I guess I don't know when this sport came out, but it became more and more popular and now it's viral and there are plenty of moguls. There's plenty of moguls and donkeys and horses and all that stuff. Look at this Donkeys. We're crazy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I said it looks fun, but it also could be potentially dangerous it could be dangerous.
Speaker 1:But it also looks like something you and the bros kind of got together and decided you were going to do Not the ones in Louisiana, where we were Hold my drink kind of deal. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2:I totally forgot to say to read, but not those bros.
Speaker 1:Bro, all right, so let's let's read to the audience a little bit more of what's going on. All these articles that we got today are from AP newscom. If you want to join us or kind of our go to news. Hey, they've got a lot of weird news.
Speaker 2:They've got a lot of regular news too but they've got a lot of weird news. That's like that's where the most is.
Speaker 1:AP newscom slash oddities. Are y'all weird yet? Yeah, weird yet from us All right, leadville, I want to say Colorado, leadville, colorado. Nick Burry clicks into his ski bindings, squats to stretch his knees and scans the snowy race course. Moments later he's zipping past a series of gates at high speed and hurting, hurtling off jumps. He might be hurting too, but it's not gravity pulling him toward the finish line, it's the brute force of a quarter horse named serious. Oh, look at that Speaking of not not the X and I mentioned.
Speaker 2:And then we see serious, that's funny.
Speaker 1:Welcome to scheduling and extreme, and I don't know if we are pronouncing that wrong.
Speaker 1:In extreme and quirky winter sport that celebrates the unlikely melding of rodeo and ski culture in the US mountain West. It's a heart pumping white knuckle competition in which horses and sometimes dogs, snow obels and even cars tow skiers by rope at speeds that can top 40 miles per hour over jumps as high as eight feet 2.4 meters for UK listeners and around obstacles as they tried a lance, suspended hoops with a baton, typically a ski pole that's cut in half. Every winter, thousands of people converge on the mining town of Leadville, colorado, high in the Rocky Mountains elevation 10,158 feet or 3,096 meters, lining downtown's main street and packing the saloons to witness one of the most popular scheduling races in the country. The spectacle billed as the granddaddy of them all has been a tradition here since 1949.
Speaker 2:That's all. How will we never hear of it? Till now, though.
Speaker 1:Dude, I don't know. I think it's just because it got famous recently. So because of it being famous, it yeah. Because of it being famous, whatever, and getting more and more popular, is starting to drift on to TikTok.
Speaker 2:Gaining popularity. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:That's what I meant. All right, it's just the pure adrenaline that gets me to do it. And then getting these two different groups of people together with the riders and skiers usually they don't hang out and getting them together we match pretty well, said Murray, who wears a fringe to leather pants with his ski gear. In a nod to the sports Western vibe, skijoring draws its name from the Norwegian word Ski Ski. I don't know your, maybe it's with a K? It's the same thing with a K, or means he driving? Okay, it started as a practical mode of transportation in Scandinavia and became a popular in the Alps around 1900. Today's sport is inherently dangerous and injuries are not uncommon. There you go. What were you just talking about? Do it among writers and skiers alike. Indeed, one of the first riders in the Leadville race earlier this month toppled off his horse and had to be helped off the track as he shook his head. And confusion.
Speaker 2:It's not a half rodeo.
Speaker 1:Unless you get hurt Exactly, it's got to be dangerous. Otherwise it's not a rodeo. Murray did well in the competition despite skiing with a separated shoulder from a hard spill during the race two weeks earlier.
Speaker 2:Well, it sounds like it tickled.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it sounds like it could have been broken bones, but he got off pretty easily.
Speaker 2:Wrong turn, taking a jump wrong. Go tell wrong. You could end your season. Then hospital bills rack up. But it's just for the thrill of it, said Murray. At 26 year old, from Meeker Colorado. Another skier, jason Decker, pulled out of the race at the last minute because he broke his collarbone in a crash during a recent contest. He sometimes wears a protective cup about valuable lesson learned after being hit in the grind by a flying chunk of snow flung by a horse's hoof.
Speaker 1:It's not uncommon that my hands are shaking a little, even after all this time, because the horse's nostrils are flaring and I'm about ready to grab a rope that attached to the saddle. And if I'm not ready to go, then things can go bad really quickly, said Decker, a 43 year old engineer from Pagosa Springs, colorado, who has been skiing since he was two and skidoring for 14 years.
Speaker 2:That's kind of odd. He was only skiing regular skiing for two years.
Speaker 1:No, no, he was skiing, since he was two years old.
Speaker 2:Oh, since he was two, yeah, so he said, skiing for two years.
Speaker 1:Especially you, benning. If you live in Colorado, it's kind of like automatic that you can learn how to ski in snow.
Speaker 2:Savannah McCarthy, a competitive ski juror, said she was 12, describes a similar nervous energy before she mounts her horse for a race, but once she is speeding down the course, her world goes silent.
Speaker 1:I mean she's having fun.
Speaker 2:I don't get a thing when I'm running, she said. When it's happening you really don't have time to think about anything, but when you get done you're like holy cow. That was insane, said McCarthy, a 24 year old financial broker from Durango, colorado, who has won the Leadville Race nine times. One of her more memorable moments was when her horse slipped, pulled back and headbutted her, breaking her nose. Delightful. Then there was the time she lost control of her horse, fall in a race and smashed into a minivan. Both the riders and skiers say that these moments the crashes, the speed, the raucous crowd and the camaraderie make ski drawing what it is, and the sport is growing.
Speaker 1:All right. So what do you think of this sport, man? What do you think about this? Well, would you try it? Would you personally try it If you knew how to ski? Or you could be the rider on the horse.
Speaker 2:I'll steal the horse Eventually, I guess.
Speaker 1:Hey, bring that rider back here. What's he doing?
Speaker 2:I don't know man, I'd have to be pretty bored, or?
Speaker 1:just just like excuse me guys.
Speaker 2:Adrenaline pumping to do it, I guess I think it'd be dangerous?
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it'd definitely be interesting, for sure.
Speaker 2:It's getting to a minivan, yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't know, man. All right, speaking of sports, let's head to our next one. Auburn student makes a 94 foot length of the court putt and wins a car. A car, lucky, wait, wait, I got something for this. Here we go, yeah, but no, seriously, he wins a car. What the heck they were offering a car? Is that a he? I don't know, I said he, she, whoever they them this there person, that human and Auburn University student connected on a long distance shots, draining a length of the basketball court putt on Saturday to win a car. Connor Boyle made the 94 foot putt rolling a golf ball from one baseline and through a sign next to the opposite basket during a promotion in the second half of Auburn's game with Georgia.
Speaker 2:I'm pretty sure that's a guy.
Speaker 1:Yep, maybe we don't know. Well, we're assuming. We're assuming. After the putt found the small opening on the sign, boyle raced around the court celebrating while fans erupted and TV cameras showed Auburn guard Katie Johnson looking on the bench with a stunned expression, mouth wide open. Are you great? Like like he was did honestly well, no, I would be going crazy too If I saw somebody make a shot like that and win a car.
Speaker 2:I kind of like to be very happy for her. What I like to what we call that Excent, not accentuate a dramatize, dramatize.
Speaker 1:Yeah, drama he ruptured like erupted. No, but honestly, I'd be excited to if my friend won a car. That'd be sick, especially if he didn't have a car. Well, you can imagine being a broke college kid like yes, you can be. You can imagine being a broke college kid and and also like you, yeah, I was definitely broke college kid. But you can imagine being a broke college kid like you only get if you get any money per week. You get so much money per week it's hard to pay for anything. So imagine getting a car like your first or second year in college. That's insane.
Speaker 2:I imagine going to college a lot.
Speaker 1:Well, there's that. I don't know what to do about that one you know it was the first winner of the promotion this season, winning a car from a local Toyota dealership. There you go. Hey, there we go, my favorite, brand, Craig noise, a writer from the university's student run site, the Auburn Plainsman, won a car in the contest in February 2023. It was the first time a student made the putt since 2014.
Speaker 2:So there was somebody else that did in 2014.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's crazy. That's a long putt too. You imagine the length of a basketball court. How long you have to put that thing.
