What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: Kitsap Sun.
Hank LedgerA pumpkin that weighs as much as a car has just set a new record, and the man who grew it is Wendell Osgood of Osgood Gourd Acres.
Hank LedgerWendell, congratulations.
Wendell OsgoodThank you, Hank. She put on about thirty pounds a day at the peak, and, well, it. It did that on water and patience.
Hank LedgerShe.
Wendell OsgoodIt. A figure of speech. I just like to be on hand in the evenings, in case it needs anything, which a pumpkin does not.
Hank LedgerYou said on the phone earlier that you hauled a tent out to the patch in August. Why does a farmer with a house need a tent?
Wendell OsgoodHeat. Bugs. And she gets lonely, I mean, it gets, look, that songbook is for my nephew, and the lullabies are entirely his idea.
Hank LedgerSo you sang a vegetable to sleep for two months, and now it weighs as much as a Honda Civic. I would say the lullabies worked.
Wendell OsgoodWe did it together, Hank. I mean, I did it. It was mostly her. It.
Hank LedgerLast question, Wendell. Who is carving it?
Wendell OsgoodNobody is carving anybody. This interview is over.
