Since he didn't play college ball, even at age 21, Matt had his full eligibility and is now a full-time scholarship as cornerback at Alcorn State University.

Mo, good night. Can I ask you something about a story I heard? Oh, please. So I heard that you guys obviously speak German and that you talk some smack while you're playing in German and that Luka Doncic understood what you were saying about him. What were you guys saying and what did he pick up?
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
WWDTM: Moe Wagner
When we say they didn't complain, I think we didn't hear them complain.
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

I suspect there was somebody at NASA who heard a lot of, what the hell are you doing?
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

Alonzo Bowden. They'll be stuck 199 miles away from the dealership in a 200-mile range Tesla. And Paula Poundstone.

We were all sitting back like, oh, this will be the one moment in black history they don't erase.
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
WWDTM: Moe Wagner
Yeah, but you had that written down on your past. Oh yeah, I had that written down. My question would be, is the expert who wrote this, have they ever been on a date?
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
WWDTM: Moe Wagner
I mean, why would you say you're saying these stories like on TV when somebody's 108 or 115? Exactly that. So, if somebody just comes to you and says they're 108, you're actually going to go to a company to verify it? Well, that's what they do. Like, who the hell cares?
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

If somebody's really old and maybe they missed a couple of years, I'd let that go. Once you hit 95, just call it what you want. Yeah. It's not like you're going to get even more of a senior discount. I mean, that's pretty much it. You know what? If you're 105 and you're sharp enough to lie and say 115, I'm going to give it to you. I'm going to be like, wow, okay. Boy, are we different.
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
WWDTM: Moe Wagner
I have a friend, and recently he turned 65. And he said, that's it. There's nothing left. Like, there's no age benefit after that. That's true. So, again, so if you say you're 90 or if you say you're 115, what do you win? You can carry the torch at an Olympics? Please, you were at the first one.

Matt Collins worked for Amazon. Everyone thought Amazon Prime one day delivery was fast. Then they saw Matt run. KCAB obtained this video from a neighbor's ring camera. Matt was dropping a package when Thor, a notorious neighborhood German shepherd, got loose.

In the video, Matt ran past his truck, leaped a small garden hedge, and increased the distance between himself and Thor until Thor simply gave up. Thor wasn't the only one to see Matt run. Pete Walker, who once coached Deion Primetime Sanders, said Matt was the fastest man he's seen since he saw Deion run a 4.240 in college. Pete had to find and time Matt. Matt ran a 4.3540.
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

Now, it's rumored Thor's 40 time was about 4.5, but no one's been brave enough to verify that. It turned out Matt had been a high school player, but he didn't get recruited for college and was working at Amazon to help pay for his education. Well, Matt won't have that problem anymore.
