Speaker 1: And now it's time for Benson's week day Up Day,
Speaker 1: featuring veteran news anchor ktth On tweets.
Speaker 2: Here are the important stories he's currently tracking from around
Speaker 2: the world.
Speaker 1: Yesterday we told you about the New Orleans prison break,
Speaker 1: where ten inmates escaped through a hole in the wall
Speaker 1: behind the toilet and sink fixture, and on the wall
Speaker 1: they wrote we innocent and too easy lol. As of
Speaker 1: yesterday's reporting, three of those men had been found, seven
Speaker 1: still on the loose. They have found one more. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we're down to six on the lamb.
Speaker 3: That was really funny.
Speaker 1: Four have been caught. But the big development is this
Speaker 1: a maintenance worker has been arrested is helping them. Thirty
Speaker 1: three year old Sterling Williams shut off the water at
Speaker 1: the jail allegedly, and then it allowed them to remove
Speaker 1: the metal toilet and the sink fixture from the cell wall.
Speaker 1: He claims one of the inmates threatened to quote shank
Speaker 1: him if he did not help them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tough dilemma.
Speaker 2: You guys called this, You guys guess there was a
Speaker 2: you know, what do you do in that situation? Either
Speaker 2: get shanked, help them risk going to prison or just quit.
Speaker 3: I put him by two weeks.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say he is very very stuck to
Speaker 2: the idea of no narks because it just seems to me,
Speaker 2: since the guy's already in prison, that you could go
Speaker 2: to the warden and go that guy threatened to shank
Speaker 2: me if I didn't help him, and then they can
Speaker 2: put him into the thing right.
Speaker 1: Then what if the shank is out though, like you,
Speaker 1: there's no time to go to the warden. No, but
Speaker 1: you tell him like, yeah, I'll do it right now,
Speaker 1: and then instead of going to do it.
Speaker 2: Like he didn't get to walk around with you with
Speaker 2: a shank next to you until you walk to shut
Speaker 2: the water off.
Speaker 1: I feel like you guys are like I'm following you,
Speaker 1: I see you, I hear you, I understand you.
Speaker 3: But here's the problem.
Speaker 1: I think we're just assuming that the warden's highly available.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna admit I haven't been to prison in a
Speaker 2: long time, so things may have changed, But it seems
Speaker 2: to me that like prisoners may just be threatening people
Speaker 2: all the time right in his prison life, and I
Speaker 2: feel like if you go tell the warden on somebody
Speaker 2: that it's not gonna work out. Good for you no
Speaker 2: matter what, or why couldn't you do this? Why couldn't
Speaker 2: you go through with it and tell the warden in advance?
Speaker 2: I was threatened with this, So let's have the whole crew.
Speaker 2: They're ready to just grab the guys and stick them
Speaker 2: in solitary confinement for trying to break out, and then
Speaker 2: I've told you what I'm doing, so we're in on it.
Speaker 3: Like when I wore a wire for the FBI.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like we went through the paces, dude, So you'd
Speaker 2: immediately have to go get a job somewhere else. You
Speaker 2: couldn't be around convicts knowing that you just busted ten
Speaker 2: of them.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad at the age of eleven, I changed
Speaker 1: my career path because I grew up wanting to be
Speaker 1: a maintenance worker at a prison, and when I decided,
Speaker 1: you know, broadcasting could be fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: So also, the inmates left the jail doing these three things,
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to see what you guys thought
Speaker 1: would be the hardest thing to do of these three
Speaker 1: things for you personally. They left the jail through the
Speaker 1: loading dock. Okay, so you have to jump off the
Speaker 1: loading dock. They scaled a wall and then they ran
Speaker 1: across Interstate ten.
Speaker 3: What do you guys think you could do all the trifecta?
Speaker 3: There's no way I would break a leg and at
Speaker 3: least one of those things. My knees started hurting as
Speaker 3: soon as you said jumping off the loading here, was like,
Speaker 3: I could not do that.
Speaker 2: I don't even like taking the stairs. I'm not I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna sit. I'm just gonna do life. What about
Speaker 2: the story where old ten prisoners got arrested at the
Speaker 2: loading dock because they were unwilling to jump off of it?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you know what's so funny about that video
Speaker 1: When they are all jumping off of it and they're
Speaker 1: all on a single file line running, probably just adrenaline
Speaker 1: bump and probably some giggling going on.
Speaker 2: Go back and watch that same video, but superimpose the
Speaker 2: Peanuts music on the.
Speaker 3: Seriously, it's kind of funny to watch it.
Speaker 1: So, a civilian employee of the Sheriff's office was the
Speaker 1: only person monitoring security systems in that part of the
Speaker 1: jail where the escape occurred, but he'd left his station
Speaker 1: at that time to go get some food.
Speaker 3: Okay, what the story is that he went to pee was.
Speaker 2: That another story I saw, Yeah, and in fact, our
Speaker 2: buddy Mike P textan as he goes man, there's a
Speaker 2: story that says that guy wants to take a pee.
Speaker 2: When that happened, he says.
Speaker 3: He went to get food in the New York Times.
Speaker 2: But you know, I multimant, yeah, but Mike P is
Speaker 2: reporting that he went to take a week Okay, so
Speaker 2: uh yeah, and that guy's not being questioned that he
Speaker 2: left his post at the exact time he had to
Speaker 2: go get his third hot dog, and he his roommates
Speaker 2: with Sterling Williams.
Speaker 3: It all seems.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he'd only had two hot dogs for lunch, so
Speaker 1: he was going at dinner time to get his third
Speaker 1: and fourth hot dog because.
Speaker 3: He was starving day.
Speaker 2: I respect that he had an appetizer hot dog. Many
Speaker 2: times he ran down to a Mike's Jemini Lounge and
Speaker 2: was waiting, we get some right off the right off
Speaker 2: their appetizer hot dogs, just to get started here.
Speaker 3: But it doesn't he usually this might just be an
Speaker 3: understaffing thing.
Speaker 1: But usually you would go, hey, man, can you watch
Speaker 1: the cameras for a minute.
Speaker 3: I'm famished. I gotta get my fifth hot dog.
Speaker 2: Dude, Why doesn't anybody do that like they we have sliders?
Speaker 3: Why not have tiny hot dogs? Excuse me, tiny hot
Speaker 3: hot dog appetizers?
Speaker 2: Excuse me, waiter, what's the difference in the entree hot
Speaker 2: dog and the appetizer?
Speaker 1: Why is it the warden bringing these up like an
Speaker 1: order and just kind of keeping his staff doing what
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be doing.
Speaker 3: And you need some replenishment. Aren't those pigs in a blanket?
Speaker 1: Those are pigs in a blanket, for sure, little smoky,
Speaker 1: But well does the croissant make it that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little hot dogs in a bunt.
Speaker 1: Normal.
Speaker 2: I've always thought it was a pancake and sausage made
Speaker 2: it a pig and a blanket?
Speaker 3: Oh, never noticed?
Speaker 2: All right, Coming up next, we crank up the wayback machine.
Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere. This is coming up in less than
Speaker 2: three minutes. We're gonna get you laughing on your way home.
Speaker 2: We return to the sports Inferno, and just over three
Speaker 2: minutes next
