What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA pre-workout supplement has been recalled because it contains an illegal, amphetamine-like ingredient.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSkip Waverly is at a gym this morning, because of course he is.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentHank, I'm standing outside a twenty-four-hour gym, and it is five twenty-one in the morning Eastern, and the parking lot is completely full.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentNobody here is sleepy. Nobody.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWhat is the recall actually about?

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThe supplement is being pulled from shelves because it has an illegal stimulant in it that wasn't supposed to be there.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThat's the consumer safety part, and I'm told people took it before lifting.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentSir, you were just in there. Did you use this stuff? What's your name?
Gary OsterhausGary Osterhaus. Yeah, I took it. Promised unreal focus. I did eleven sets of curls at four a.m. and then cleaned my garage twice.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentTwice?
Gary OsterhausSecond time I alphabetized the screws. My heart's been going like a hummingbird at a drum solo since Thursday.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorGary, please stop taking it and call your doctor. Skip, you're breathing very fast.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThat's just the weather, Hank! And the story! Also I've been up since midnight and I feel incredible, which is a normal thing to say.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentHang on, my gym bag has a tub in it. Let me read the label. Oh no. It's the recalled one.
