50,000 bees in the wall, 50,000 bees! Take one down, pass it around...
Highlights include Mike, the alligator trapper, capturing an eight-foot alligator barefoot and showcasing it to a cheering crowd. The script humorously touches on 'savage seagulls' in Britain, forming gangs and causing chaos, with characters like Bugsy Seagull and Steven Seagull. Another story involves a Nigerian chess champion, Tunde, who broke the world record for the longest chess marathon by playing for 60 hours in Times Square, raising $22,000 in the process. Additionally, an infamous 'rat hole' in a Chicago sidewalk, which became a local spectacle, was removed, illustrating community and government response to viral social media. The episode also discusses a peculiar incident where over 50,000 bees were found in a toddler's bedroom wall, turning a nightmare into a real-life 'monster' scenario. Johnny Mac addresses a negative review about the ad ratio on his podcast.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.199
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
shunning man with five good news stories.
2
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:17.440
Good news humans, one, alligators
zero. There was this eight foot alligator
3
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:22.079
and he ran into Mike. Mike
is a licensed alligator and I think I
4
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:26.160
made that termino, But he's an
a licensed alligator trapper an alligates hoor sounds
5
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:30.160
cooler though, Should we go with
that? Mike the alligator caught the alligator
6
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:33.640
by his tail and sat on top
of the eight foot alligator so that the
7
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:37.719
eight foot alligator could not escape.
Mike didn't even have shoes on. He
8
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:41.359
got the upper hand of the alligator. A crowd began to cheer. He
9
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.880
picked up the alligator like a baby. Mike showed the scary looking eight foot
10
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:49.159
alligator was no match for him.
He paraded around with the alligator for everyone
11
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:54.159
to see. All this happened when
the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office reached out, can't
12
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.359
have an eight foot alligator walking through
town, you know? Yeah? Now,
13
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.159
maybe Mike could help with the seagulls. I love this headline. Brits
14
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:07.560
are being terrorized by savage seagulls with
rifle XL gully gangs competing for the title
15
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.959
of Britain's toughiest Avian thugs. Yes, there are some seagulls. They cause
16
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.400
chaos, they come down, they
steal your food, they menace you.
17
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:21.319
One gang of seagulls has been nicknamed
the XL Gullies Gang, and they are
18
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:26.840
led by Bugsy seagull. Local resident
Martin told the Daily Start this seagull walks
19
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:29.480
around up and down the street as
if he owns the joint, swiping any
20
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:34.000
food and get his beacon. Some
other locals are fans of a different seagull
21
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.560
named Stephen Seagull. Ben said,
the bird residing on your front page of
22
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.920
the newspaper couldn't face the web boots
of Steven. You may not be familiar
23
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:46.079
with the burden question, but Steven
has such confidence, such testosterone, such
24
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.959
swagger that he truly believes he's an
eagle. Megan is a fan of Judas,
25
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.120
the seagull who's taken over her garden. She said he's hardcore. Every
26
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:57.560
time another seagull comes anywhere near him, go for them, practically take a
27
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.599
chunk out of their wing. What's
good news about this, John, I
28
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:05.200
don't know. Sometimes the stories are
just fun. I define good news as
29
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.960
not bad news. Judas. The
seagulls favorite foods apparently are pizza fruit and
30
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:14.680
Cathedral City cheese. The fun is
in the details. Another world record in
31
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:20.199
Nigerian chess champion played chess NonStop for
sixty hours in New York City's Times Square
32
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:24.199
to break the record for longest chess
marathon toon day set out to play chess
33
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:29.560
for fifty eight hours, but continued
until he reached sixty at around twelve forty
34
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.560
am in the morning. That beat
the previous record of fifty six hours,
35
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:38.080
nine minutes, thirty seven seconds toon
day. Played against Sean, an American
36
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:42.439
chess champion. That was to keep
in line with the Guinness World Record guidelines
37
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.360
that any attempt to break the record
must be made by two players who would
38
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:51.960
play continuously for the entire duration.
So didn't Sean also break the record or
39
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.080
did he quit like five seconds before
ago? You went like, I'm confused,
40
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.759
but hey, it's fun. For
every hour of the game, they
41
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.360
were given only five minutes break.
The breaks were sometimes grouped together and today
42
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:05.759
used it to catch up with locals
cheering them on. It was a fundraiser
43
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.240
here. They raised twenty two thousand
dollars. Now good news if you live
44
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:14.199
in Chicago and you want nice street
sidewalks. They got rid of that rat
45
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:16.000
hole. One do you know about
the rat hole? There was a sidewalk
46
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:20.879
in Chicago's North Side and it had
like a divot and the divot looked like
47
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.280
somebody had smashed a rat. A
Chicago comedian had shared a photo of the
48
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:28.840
rat hole on social media, and
it became a thing. Locals started complaining
49
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.240
about visitors showing up all the time, leaving coins and other items by the
50
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:35.360
rat hole on the sidewalk. Some
of the neighborhoods said, it's not even
51
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:39.639
a rat, it's a squirrel,
But good news. Erica is a spokesperson
52
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:44.560
for the Chicago Department of Transportation.
She said the square of sidewalk containing the
53
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:49.199
famous Chicago rat hole is now in
temporary storage. This could wind up in
54
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.879
a museum somewhere. How fun,
all right? A fair criticism from Wowie
55
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.800
Wow, who left a one star
review on Apple podcast and said crazy ratio
56
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.080
of ads to the actual podcast.
Well, the show is five minutes long,
57
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.319
and we do need to make some
money otherwise. This is a very,
58
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.360
very time consuming hobby. But one
thing you can do now is we
59
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:12.120
set it up. On Apple Podcasts, you can become a subscriber and get
60
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.319
not only this show, but all
the shows on the network a commercial free
61
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.480
just four ninety nine a month.
So if you have Apple Podcasts open right
62
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.279
now, that option should be right
in front of you. I did try
63
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.839
to back down the ads a little, but like I gotta be honest,
64
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:27.439
Like, at some point, you
know, I gotta eat. Do you
65
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.600
like bees? Just another one of
the stories that I'm not sure is good
66
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.199
news. If you like bees,
it's good news. A toddler told a
67
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.720
mom that she heard monsters in her
bedroom. Well that's not good. Well,
68
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:42.639
a beekeeper came by and discovered over
fifty thousand bees in the wall.
69
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:47.439
Ashley tells people the little girls that
she heard monsters and we'd been watching monsters
70
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.959
inc We told her nobody's in the
closet. We made jokes about fighting the
71
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:54.519
monster. We gave her a spray
bottle full of water that was her monster
72
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:58.800
spray. But the poor girl was
freaking out, kept saying there were monsters.
73
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.800
Then mom noticed a few bees in
the attic. Since they live in
74
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:06.519
a one hundred year old farmhouse,
they decided to call pest control. Past
75
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:10.399
control said they were honey bees,
probably just looking for a place to stay.
76
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.680
They don't spray the bees because they're
in danger, so that opened up
77
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.720
a whole new thing. They went
through several beekeepers who were like, no,
78
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.519
can't help. Finally a beekeeper came
with a thermal camera to assess the
79
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:24.600
situation. It revealed a bee hive. Mom said, at first I thought
80
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.439
it was a body. I was
like, what is that and the beekeeper
81
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.519
says, it's a hive. He
took out a hammer and knocked on the
82
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.519
wall. Bees came swarming out like
a horror movie. Mom says, there
83
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.319
were streams of bees in the wall
where he hit. It was oozing honey,
84
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:40.920
but it looked like blood because it
was really really dark. Running down
85
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:43.879
my daughter's pink walls looked really strange. He opened up the wall and it
86
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.319
was one of the biggest hives he's
seen in his forty year career. Just
87
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.279
fifty thousand bees swarming like crazy my
daughter's bedroom. This poor little girl.
88
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:53.879
We sealed off the room. He
came back the next day. The first
89
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.800
day, the beekeeper was able to
remove twenty thousand bees and a one hundred
90
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.279
pound chunk of honeycomb. They had
to seal off the room. He came
91
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.920
back the next day and he took
out another twenty thousand bees. They introduced
92
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.480
the beekeeper to the little girl and
said his name is mister Munster Hunter.
93
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:13.040

00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:05.759
used it to catch up with locals
cheering them on. It was a fundraiser
43
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.240
here. They raised twenty two thousand
dollars. Now good news if you live
44
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:14.199
in Chicago and you want nice street
sidewalks. They got rid of that rat
45
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:16.000
hole. One do you know about
the rat hole? There was a sidewalk
46
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:20.879
in Chicago's North Side and it had
like a divot and the divot looked like
47
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.280
somebody had smashed a rat. A
Chicago comedian had shared a photo of the
48
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:28.840
rat hole on social media, and
it became a thing. Locals started complaining
49
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.240
about visitors showing up all the time, leaving coins and other items by the
50
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:35.360
rat hole on the sidewalk. Some
of the neighborhoods said, it's not even
51
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:39.639
a rat, it's a squirrel,
But good news. Erica is a spokesperson
52
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:44.560
for the Chicago Department of Transportation.
She said the square of sidewalk containing the
53
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:49.199
famous Chicago rat hole is now in
temporary storage. This could wind up in
54
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.879
a museum somewhere. How fun,
all right? A fair criticism from Wowie
55
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.800
Wow, who left a one star
review on Apple podcast and said crazy ratio
56
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.080
of ads to the actual podcast.
Well, the show is five minutes long,
57
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.319
and we do need to make some
money otherwise. This is a very,
58
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.360
very time consuming hobby. But one
thing you can do now is we
59
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:12.120
set it up. On Apple Podcasts, you can become a subscriber and get
60
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.319
not only this show, but all
the shows on the network a commercial free
61
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.480
just four ninety nine a month.
So if you have Apple Podcasts open right
62
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.279
now, that option should be right
in front of you. I did try
63
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.839
to back down the ads a little, but like I gotta be honest,
64
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:27.439
Like, at some point, you
know, I gotta eat. Do you
65
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.600
like bees? Just another one of
the stories that I'm not sure is good
66
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.199
news. If you like bees,
it's good news. A toddler told a
67
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.720
mom that she heard monsters in her
bedroom. Well that's not good. Well,
68
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:42.639
a beekeeper came by and discovered over
fifty thousand bees in the wall.
69
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:47.439
Ashley tells people the little girls that
she heard monsters and we'd been watching monsters
70
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.959
inc We told her nobody's in the
closet. We made jokes about fighting the
71
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:54.519
monster. We gave her a spray
bottle full of water that was her monster
72
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:58.800
spray. But the poor girl was
freaking out, kept saying there were monsters.
73
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.800
Then mom noticed a few bees in
the attic. Since they live in
74
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:06.519
a one hundred year old farmhouse,
they decided to call pest control. Past
75
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:10.399
control said they were honey bees,
probably just looking for a place to stay.
76
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.680
They don't spray the bees because they're
in danger, so that opened up
77
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.720
a whole new thing. They went
through several beekeepers who were like, no,
78
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.519
can't help. Finally a beekeeper came
with a thermal camera to assess the
79
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:24.600
situation. It revealed a bee hive. Mom said, at first I thought
80
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.439
it was a body. I was
like, what is that and the beekeeper
81
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.519
says, it's a hive. He
took out a hammer and knocked on the
82
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.519
wall. Bees came swarming out like
a horror movie. Mom says, there
83
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.319
were streams of bees in the wall
where he hit. It was oozing honey,
84
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:40.920
but it looked like blood because it
was really really dark. Running down
85
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:43.879
my daughter's pink walls looked really strange. He opened up the wall and it
86
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.319
was one of the biggest hives he's
seen in his forty year career. Just
87
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.279
fifty thousand bees swarming like crazy my
daughter's bedroom. This poor little girl.
88
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:53.879
We sealed off the room. He
came back the next day. The first
89
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.800
day, the beekeeper was able to
remove twenty thousand bees and a one hundred
90
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.279
pound chunk of honeycomb. They had
to seal off the room. He came
91
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.920
back the next day and he took
out another twenty thousand bees. They introduced
92
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.480
the beekeeper to the little girl and
said his name is mister Munster Hunter.
93
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:13.040
