We talked about this on The Bert Show a week or so ago. The story is un-freaking-real. This is the full-length, unedited 911 call.

“Oh my God, my wife is holding a BABY! Oh my God I’m looking at a BABY!”

(Story from http://www.wzzm13.com/)

It was Angi Adams second night on the job.

“As soon as I took the call and he said his wife was having a baby, the first thing was to get an address,” said Adams.

The Montcalm County dispatcher sent an ambulance to the couple’s Pierson home but their baby wasn’t waiting.

“The head is out” yelled the caller; Adams said she could hear the baby after just two minutes on the phone. This was Adams’ first delivery as a dispatcher but it was the couple got the bigger surprise.

“You didn’t know she was pregnant?” asked Adams on the 911 call. “No! No!” responded the man. “Oh my God my wife is holding a baby! I had no idea my wife was pregnant!

Right away Adams could tell the pair was frantic. “He was in shock. I could tell was beside himself.”

“Oh my God I’m looking at a baby! It’s a boy! Oh my God.” On the recording Adams asked if the mother knew she was pregnant, “She didn’t know how far along she was?” “No. We had no clue,” said the man.

Once the birth was over, Adams knew she still had to coach the couple. “I talked him through cleaning him off, getting his face nose and mouth cleaned off. Getting the umbilical cord tied off, keeping mom comfortable, not moving around. Making sure the baby wasn’t changing colors. It was pretty exciting.”

The 27 year-old mom already has 3 children dad told Adams there were no real signs his wife was pregnant again.

“Oh my God, how could you possibly be pregnant? You can hear his wife responding on the tape, “I don’t know.”

Talking to the dispatcher, the dad said, “You know we quit smoking and my wife put on a little bit of weight and I thought that’s what it was.”

Adams says the surprise pregnancy didn’t change her focus for a successful delivery.

“He’s perfectly fine,” said the dad. “I’m looking right at him. He’s my kid he looks just like me.”

According to the AJC, Spirit the Hawk has been grounded.

The Hawks’ live mascot will no longer be allowed to fly during the player introductions before each game, according to a statement released by the team Thursday evening.

Spirit got loose at the start of the Hawks’ playoff game against Miami on Wednesday night at Philips Arena, causing all sorts of confusion and eventually a stoppage in play before his handler from Zoo Atlanta retrieved him early in the first quarter.

The hawk on the loose garnered national attention Thursday on news and sports shows, everything from NBC’s “The Today Show” to CNN and all of ESPN’s daily programs.

“Spirit the Hawk will no longer fly during player intros,” the statement read, “but he will be back for Wednesday’s Game 5 and be involved in our game night activities.”

The Hawks went on to lose Game 2 108-93 to the Heat. The series is tied at 1-1 with Game 3 on tap Saturday in Miami.

Thanks to Rich Eldredge at the AJC for giving me a bit of love in Peach Buzz … always appreciative of that as it’s the first section of the paper I read each day.

Dauler’s ‘Earth Day’ tips irritate Seydel

Q100 chief imp Jeff Dauler found himself facing off against Captain Planet himself on Earth Day after the cartoon character’s caretaker caught the radio producer littering on Twitter.

Captain Planet Foundation chairwoman Laura Turner Seydel, who follows Dauler on the addictive Internet site, got a little irritated with Dauler’s increasingly absurd Earth Day “tips” he was posting Wednesday.

His tweets included the following:

“For Earth Day, I took all the copy paper in the office and threw it in the Dumpster so nobody would use paper! GO GREEN!” and “I poured a gallon of bleach into the Chattahoochee! Imagine how clean it would be if everyone did that today. GO GREEN!”

Seydel then posted the following message throughout the Twitter-verse: “@JeffDauler not funny. You will have people standing down by the river ‘cleaning’ it up.”

We’re guessing that Dauler didn’t recall that the Atlanta environmentalist co-founded the Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper Fund advocacy group with her husband Rutherford Seydel.

A chastised Dauler apologized by posting: “For real for Earth Day tips, follow my friend @LauraSeydel and check out her great green tips.”

Laura Seydel immediately recalled a hailstorm-hurling Captain Planet in mid-flight and he resumed work on a backyard compost project.

The last line is my favorite.

Thanks, Rich!

Took my little point and shoot to Tybee Island, no big camera for this trip.  I still think I got some shots that may make it into the ‘best of 09′ album.

I’ll have the whole album posted in a day or two.  In the meantime, here are my favorite three:

I call this one IGNORE RULE FOUR. Perhaps my favorite all-time picture of Sasha.

Did a little photoshopping to this one to enhance the colors. Still a work-in-progress.

A shot into the sun that worked without any filter on the lens.

She’s got some strong competition …

Seriously …  nowhere in this process did either of you jack asses think “This might get us fired!?!”

I hope he’s OK.

And if he is, he can plan on getting a TON of crap from his friends tomorrow

A guest on Glenn Beck’s Fox News show passed out as the opening segment was coming to an end.

Beck and his guest, David Buckner, professor of organizational leadership at Columbia University program, were standing at a monitor talking about what is leading American companies to bankruptcy. Around 5:11pm, as they were getting to the final point, Buckner whispered to Beck, “I’m passing out.”

Beck asked Buckner if he wanted to “sit down.” As Beck took his hand, Buckner fell to the ground. The director then cut to a camera shot which showed Buckner on the studio floor, before going to break.

When he came back from the commercial, Beck, who called Buckner “a good friend,” said the professor “was ill, apparently, this morning and just got a little lightheaded, but he is fine and we have medical professionals on the way to the set, and he is up and alert and fine.”

“It’s a wild day here,” said Beck.

This female soccer fan gets doused with a beer.  It’ll happen.  (Especially with the across-the-pond soccer crazies.)  But her companion has virtually no reaction at all.  Is that the right call?

Even though he was likely to get a beer in the face (or worse), should he have stood and demanded an apology?  Or is letting it go and being the bigger man appropriate here?

When you comment, please indicate if you are male or female, as that is very important for the discussion.
