What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's eleven-forty, this is Finally, Some Good News, and a seven-year-old in Monroeville, Pennsylvania just put on fifty sweaters at once.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFifty. The old Guinness record was forty-six, so he beat it by four.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSkyler did it at the Monroeville Public Library, and when he pulled on number forty-seven the crowd started chanting his name. I'm fine.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHis mother made a spreadsheet and numbered every sweater. That's more project management than I've seen in a career.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFlawless rollout. And the original target was one hundred sweaters, so fifty is a right-sized deliverable.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHalf the target.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHe's donating every sweater at the library's drive next fall.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSkyler said he got a little hot near the end, but dancing with his friends afterwards was fun.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSeven years old, fifty sweaters, one fan, and the only thing that ran hot wasn't on the spreadsheet.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThat's finally some good news, and we're back same time tomorrow.
