What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOur next guest says the Raiders talk about Fernando Mendoza is the sign he has waited for, so let's go underground with Orville Haskett of the Last Snap Survival Collective.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe New York Post says the conversations are heating up and the Raiders' mirage is coming to pass.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOrville, why does a quarterback rumor make you cheer?

  4. Orville HaskettBecause a mirage that comes true is the first crack in reality, Vera.

  5. Orville HaskettI told the collective, and I told Linda, my hand-crank radio, who has never once been wrong.

  6. Orville HaskettI have forty-one cans of peaches down here for exactly this.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorForty-one peaches?

  8. Orville HaskettForty-one cans, and one that is mostly syrup. Dale sent me a fan letter about the whole mirage theory, so I know serious people agree.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDale loves anything that ends badly. But let me ask you, have you actually watched the Raiders lately, or only read the headline?

  10. Orville HaskettI have watched the headline very closely, and the headline is heating up, which is exactly what the ground does before the end.

  11. Orville HaskettI'm down to thirty-eight peaches now, and the radio is humming.

  12. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou went from forty-one to thirty-eight in one answer. Is Linda eating the peaches?

  13. Orville HaskettThirty-seven. And she says you're welcome.
