Groundhog Day Comes A Little Late In Pennsylvania

Groundhog Day came a little late this year to one particular town in Pennsylvania, as you will hear in this week's episode of Weird News.

ANNOUNCER - Time now for WDHA's Weird News with Michael Fuzzy Lee.

FUZZY - Today in Weird News, Pennsylvanians just celebrated Groundhog Day a little on the late side after finding a live groundhog in a claw machine packed with stuffed animals.

The rodent found his way into the machine, located in Meadows Original Frozen Custard of Hollidaysburg.

Nobody managed to claim the critter by pulling him out, but the game warden did show up to rescue it.

The shop owners held a contest to name the little fella, and the winning entry was "Colonel Custard."

I did obtain an audio clip of a family trying to rescue the animal before the warden showed up, so let's roll it.

MAN - Now, be careful they are honey, just move the claw a little to the left till you're directly over his head and tap the button to grab him.

GIRL - I know that daddy, but this machine is rigged! There's not enough grip in the claw to grab this groundhog! Where are all the animal-like organizations when you need them? They should be protesting these sh***y machines!

If Punxsutawney Phil was stuck in here, World War 3 would break out!

MAN - Oh, just concentrate honey, hopefully we could rescue this woodchuck for under 10 bucks. Do you remember that rhyme I used to sing to you when you were just a little girl?

Oooooooohhh, how much wood could woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? As much wood as woodchuck could chuck wood if woodchuck could chuck wood.

GIRL - Would you shut the f**k up daddy? I'm not in the mood for your woodchuck rhymes! You sound like Uncle Pecos from Tom and Jerry singing "The Crambone Song!" I'm working here!

FUZZY - I do hear a slight resemblance to Uncle Pecos, but very slight.

And lastly in weird news, police say a 26-year-old woman, a crossing guard for a middle school in Darby, Pennsylvania, was arrested after witnesses reported seeing her giving out babes and marijuana edibles to children and even smoked weed with one of them.

Investigators say she also texted with one student and had conversations about the edibles.

She is charged with drug possession, with the intent to deliver, possession of marijuana, and corruption of a minor.

Corruption of a minor is right! Teach them when they're young, I guess, is the motto here. Kids are like sponges during their middle school years. You really need to be careful.

On the other hand, they're only going to be brainwashed by society later in life with all the crap that you see online anyway, so what's the point? And if you do believe all that crap that's out there, you must really be an idiot.

Hey, what's this? Prince Charles is a vampire? Well, he does have a striking resemblance to Count Chocula cereal. And if it is on the internet, it must be true. Huh, you'll learn something new every day.

And that's DHA's Weird News.

It's Terrie Carr, with a MASSIVE thanks to The Warning and their crew and fans for a beautiful day of music and great vibes as part of the WDHA Parking Lot Party 2024 series! What a tremendous afternoon.

I first became a fan 10 years ago, of these three sisters from Mexico -

Daniella Villarreal (Dani) Vocals, Guitar

Alejandra Villarreal - (Ale) Bass, Piano, Vocals

Paulina Villarreal- (Pau) Drums, Vocals

When I saw them performing Metallica's "Enter Sandman" on Youtube as kids and was BLOWN AWAY!

Here they are performing Enter Sandman in 2022 at WDHA's Rock The Park!

4 records, 2 EP's and mega tours later supporting Muse, Foo Fighters, headlining tours of their own and a fanbase that is more loyal than your own ride or die, The Warning is a band that I am comfortable to say "Is the future of rock and roll" for sure.

They rock Brooklyn NY at The Warsaw on September 17th and 18th and stay tuned for more concert info.

12 killer tracks, with the first three singles charting on Billboard and showing the band's reach, musical diversity, and tremendous growth. My record of the year so far.
