What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDifferent story. A Chinese student saw a strawberry farm's address and phone number on his English exam in twenty twenty.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHe figured it was made up, searched it on a messaging app, and it was real.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe South China Morning Post says that farmer now uses the calls to inspire people.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistReal?

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSix years later, the student is headed to a master's program in artificial intelligence. I bet the farmer's phone has been busy ever since.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAC Milan's owner, Gerry Cardinale, is backing coach Ruben Amorim without conditions.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHe told La Gazzetta dello Sport the title is entirely possible, a hundred percent, and he's not being arrogant.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistOkay, here's my number, Hank, and it's a confession: a hundred percent is the amount of rain I forecast for my own heart.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe compared Amorim to the Top Gun wingman line and said Milan will buy players in January. So a hundred percent, with a shopping trip.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's a vote of confidence with a transfer window. Love that for us!

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'll take the farmer's number. It's the only one this hour that picks up.
