Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Johnny Mack with five good news stories and

2
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.839
happy Fourth of July. If you
like flags, you might want to make

3
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:19.679
your way to Seven Gables Park.
Rudy Keller is retired high school teacher who

4
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:24.879
en listen army of volunteers. They
assemble and plant two thousand flagpoles in a

5
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:29.679
park soccer field. Families leave placcards
around the flagpoles in honor of a parent

6
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:35.560
or child or spouse. Manhard Consulting
and Engineering and Surveying firm use lasers to

7
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:39.960
plot the twenty five neat rows eighty
flagpoles in each row. The display stays

8
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:43.000
up through July fourth, in a
tribute to veterans, the fallen, active

9
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:47.520
duty military, and hometown heroes.
The laminated tags attached to the eight foot

10
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.600
tall flagpoles bear their names and often
a personal handwritten note left by their loved

11
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:55.759
ones. Keller said, the message
on that tag makes each flag special and

12
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:59.560
humbling. I believe in what the
flag stands for, and it's a beautiful

13
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.159
event for the community. Some people
are here for twenty minutes and some people

14
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.920
are here for several hours. Pay
attention to the number in the middle of

15
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:12.280
this headline fishermen pull off dramatic rescue
of thirty eight dogs treading water. What

16
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:18.079
happened here? Bob had hired a
local bass fishing guide named Jordan. They're

17
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.079
out on the boat and they suddenly
hear a lot of barking. They figured

18
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:25.200
out some hounds had chased a deer
into the lake. The deer was paddling

19
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:29.079
along in a good clip, the
hounds not so much. Jordan noticed the

20
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.719
dogs were They're treading water and barking. By the time they got there,

21
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.799
the thirty eight dogs were struggling to
stay afloat. Bob said, we're just

22
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.480
flabbergasted because it's dogs everywhere, and
they're all going in different directions because they

23
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.840
can't see the bank on either side. The men knew that they were hunting

24
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:47.560
dogs because they had large GPS collars
on, which provided a good grip for

25
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.560
hauling the soaking, wet dogs out
of the lake and onto the boat.

26
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.519
They had to make three trips to
get them back in. Boy, that

27
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:55.959
would have been stressful leaving a bunch
of dogs out there to begin with.

28
00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.159
Meanwhile, in Japan, pots of
lotus flowers are really pretty, but there's

29
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:04.640
more than you might think about them. Some of them were grown from seeds

30
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.280
found buried on a layer of dirt
from a pond dug by monks there over

31
00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:12.319
two hundred years ago. The seeds
were recovered when the pond was excavated twenty

32
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.000
five years ago, and they're now
bearing a special kind of lotus flower,

33
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:20.199
the beyodo in temple lotus. It's
milky, white and diaphanous. The monks

34
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.879
say they're pleasing to look at during
a moment of stillness. On the opposite

35
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:28.000
spectrum of flowers, the corpse flower
bloomed in San Diego at the San Diego

36
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.520
Potanic Garden. I think you've missed
it by the time you heard it.

37
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.919
I just missed it. I was
in San Diego on Tuesday. The corpse

38
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:38.319
flower began its odorous bloom on Friday. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, the

39
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:43.319
putrid event only lasts for forty eight
hours. The bloom of a corpse flower

40
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.680
is uncommon, since most corpse flowers
need seven to ten years to bloom for

41
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:52.400
the first time, and only bloom
again thereafter every four to five years.

42
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:57.680
This particular flower last bloomed in twenty
twenty one, which is three years.

43
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.759
Hmmm. Ari Novi is the San
Diego Potanic Gordon President and says the blooming

44
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:06.560
of a corpse flower has become an
international sensation, intriguing people from around the

45
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.599
world with its fleeting flower. We
are extremely fortunate to be presenting a bloom

46
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:14.280
from our permanent collection, making this
year's bloom even more special. The heat

47
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:21.199
and smell or used to attract pollinator
insects while also attracting curious humans. There

48
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:25.719
was a live stream see if it's
still up corpse cam and it's story number

49
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:29.240
five, which you know. Lately
I've been like, I don't know is

50
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.759
this good news? But it's fun
news anyway. A man has been warned

51
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:36.319
of serious health consequences. Johnny Mac, this doesn't sound like fun at all.

52
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.360
Why are you making fun of the
man. I'm not making fun of

53
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:40.080
the man. I'm reporting of the
news here. Man has been warned of

54
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:46.000
serious health consequences after it was revealed
he'd been using the same block of parmesan

55
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:53.039
cheese for a decade. A Reddit
user shared a photo which unsurprisingly featured layers

56
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.639
of mold. The woman posted any
Weird Subreddit and wrote, my stepdad has

57
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:02.159
kept the same piece of parmesan cheese
for over ten years. Rediturs We're curious.

58
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.240
When asked, is he vacuum packing
it, wrapping it in foil?

59
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.840
Freezing it? Wan to know I
was keeping it for so long? The

60
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.680
original woman responded, just wrapped in
plain foil. One person warned, that's

61
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.639
not the good mold. Please don't
eat this. Someone purporting to be a

62
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:20.000
cheese expert said that sort of cheese
easily keeps from many years. It's aged,

63
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:24.160
as in unrefrigerated in a room for
at least one year before even being

64
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.240
sold, and then it keeps from
many more years. Ten's a little excessive,

65
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.120
but you could totally eat it.
I'm just surprised that hasn't been eaten

66
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.040
yet. A cheese expert said,
as a general rule of thumb, black

67
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.680
is the only color of mold that
you don't want on cheese. Everything else

68
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:41.920
is usually fine. Johnny Mac is
not a cheese expert. I don't know

69
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:46.399
how to advise you when you should
or should not consume parmesan cheese. Please

70
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.360
use my podcast only for entertainment purposes
and not for your culinary delights. Please

71
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.480
consult an expert. And those are
your five good news stories for today.

72
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:55.959
