A banana hammock for your hamster
Good news, your hamster can have its own headphones...or maybe it would prefer a banana hammock which I think is a hammock, but now I am not sure.
Meanwhile, a man visits all 6 Great Wonders of the World in record time...but had to leave the meter running at the Taj Mahal.

00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:09.320
The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack
with five good news stories. Congratulations Jamie
2
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:14.400
McDonald. Jimmie set the world record
by visiting every world wonder in just six
3
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.399
days. Can you name the world
wonders? I could not. I'll tell
4
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:21.000
you what they are in a second
verse. The story Jimmie is a British
5
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.839
adventurer who goes by adventure man.
He made it to the six world Wonders.
6
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.519
Here they are ready. How'd you
do on trivia? The Great Wall
7
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:32.880
of China, the Tsaja, Mahal
Patra, the Colisseum Christ, the Redeemer,
8
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:37.840
Machu Picchu, and Chichen Itza.
He traveled across four continents, landed
9
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.960
in nine countries, flew on thirteen
flights, rode in sixteen taxis, nine
10
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.000
buses, four trains, and one
toboggan twenty two, eight hundred and fifty
11
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.840
six miles in six days, sixteen
hours and fourteen minutes. Now listen to
12
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.079
this. He was ready to sign
a mortgage he had saved up twenty thousand
13
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:57.439
pounds, and he decided I'll go
on a life of adventure instead. He
14
00:00:57.479 --> 00:00:59.719
said, I got this gut feeling
as I was signing the papers, and
15
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:02.799
I thought what's this all about?
Instead, I bought a bike for fifty
16
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:07.920
pounds from a newspaper and I cycled
fourteen thousand miles from Bangkok to Gloucestershire through
17
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.560
twenty five different countries. As for
this trip, he began the trip at
18
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.079
the Great Wall of China and the
world record clock started ticking the moment he
19
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.799
left Vietsuboggin that runs down the hill. He only spent fifteen minutes at the
20
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.680
taj Mahal. Wow, this is
crazy, you could say a John,
21
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.760
this is crazy. Then he traveled
by bus, how boring, to the
22
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.159
ancient city of Petra and Jordan flew
to Rome to see the coliseum, headed
23
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.319
off to Brazil to see Christ the
Redeemer. Machu Picchu drew him to Peru.
24
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.120
I guess that's relatively close. Well. Then he finished at Chichen Itza,
25
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.920
which is an archaeological site that was
a hollowed piece of ceremony in the
26
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.920
Mayan culture. He did all this
to raise money for the Superhero Foundation.
27
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:52.000
As a child, Jamie was diagnosed
with a rare spinal condition. Doctors warned
28
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.439
his parents that he might lose the
ability to walk. After giving a motivational
29
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.239
talk about his fundraising adventures before the
pandemic. Jamie was approached by somebody from
30
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.400
travel Board who asked, I'd be
willing to take on the Wonders Challenge if
31
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:05.359
they were to organize the trip for
him. That's pretty cool, Jamie said.
32
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.639
There were forty three different types of
transport that needed to go right during
33
00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:10.759
the trip, only two didn't go
so well. One Jamie was late for
34
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.960
a train, thought he missed it, but the train was also late,
35
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:16.360
so that worked out. The other
one, he went to the wrong terminal
36
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:20.199
at the airport wound up missing his
flight, but the travel agent was able
37
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.319
to correct it straight away. He
had so little time he even had to
38
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.639
leave the meter of the taxi running
for fifteen minutes while he looked at the
39
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.759
tash Mah Hall. At the end
of the trip, Jamie visited Orchie,
40
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:34.400
who has several pausey This was part
of these Superhero Foundations efforts. He gave
41
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.520
Orchie a check for twenty two thou
eight hundred and fifty six at dollars one
42
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.360
dollar donated by Travelport for every mile
that he had traveled. You know,
43
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.879
as a dad, sometimes you just
want to get away from the family,
44
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:50.120
so I totally understand why dad of
three, David Massey, converted his garage
45
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.680
into a nineteen forties inspired hideaway,
complete with submarine doors at a whiskey bar.
46
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.639
It spent like twenty five grand doing
this. At first, it was
47
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.039
meant to be a place of relaxation
where he could kick back with a whiskey,
48
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.000
but now he has plans to use
it as a shelter in the event
49
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.919
of a nuclear attack amid the Russia
Ukraine War. John getting the lilt out
50
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:13.439
of you've voiced that's not funny,
but it kind of is. He's equipped
51
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.599
it with military suits and enough food
and water to last a month. The
52
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:21.039
one and eighty square foot space also
has its own toilet, shower and fifty
53
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.840
five inch TV. Dave said it's
worth every penny. His inspiration, he
54
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.919
said, when I was a lad, there was a pizza place called Winston's
55
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.080
where my mom and dad used to
take me if I did well at school.
56
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:31.240
It was fully immersive. You'd go
in. They had bunkers in the
57
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.039
basements, sandbags around the door.
The waitresses were all dressed in nineteen thirties
58
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.120
gear. They had artwork from the
War Museum. I felt like it was
59
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.280
an underground London during the Blitz.
They did it well, and not just
60
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:46.560
that they had the best pizzas.
As for those submarine doors, they're like
61
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.000
thirty five hundred dollars each and they
had to be welded on and especially designed
62
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.719
steel frame concreted three feet into the
ground. Asked how long he could survive
63
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:55.919
in the bunker, he said,
well, I have about fifteen bottles of
64
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.759
whiskey, but jokes aside, I've
got supply for a month from four.
65
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.919
I am Patty Callahan, Henry,
I am Mary kay Andrews, I'm Kristin

Harmel, and I'm Kristy Woodson Harvey. Friends in Fiction is led by four

77
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:14.639
You can listen to friends and fiction
on any major streaming platform. New York
78
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.959
City has passed a bill outlawing discrimination
based on weight. More than forty percent
79
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:23.000
of American adults are considered obese.
Studies show waight stigma is pervasive. City
80
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.319
Councilman Shaun A. Bray You said
weight discrimination was a silent burden people have
81
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:30.079
had a carry. He says people
are being discriminated against with no recourse and
82
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.480
society saying that's perfectly fine. Good
news if you care about the environment.
83
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:39.600
The way I do a foldable cup
is changing the disposable plastic takeout industry.
84
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:43.920
The Good Cup is a foldable,
recyclable cup that acts as a mini takeout
85
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.519
container for hot and cold drinks.
It's fully recyclable. It's made with compostable
86
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:54.000
paper and recyclable bio based coding.
If one million twelve ounds Good Cups are
87
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.600
used, ten thousand pounds of plastic
would be saved, and good news for
88
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.000
your hamster. Fashion brand Shine as
a bunch of new items for your hamster.
89
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:08.120
One hamster black headphones showcasing the latest
and pet headwear. Those will cost
90
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.839
you about a dollar. Maybe your
hamster would like a hammock. You can
91
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.399
get a banana hammock for your hamster. No, not a banana hammock.
92
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:17.959
Banana hammock. This is a hammock
shaped like a banana that'll run you like
93
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.439
three bucks. You can get the
same thing in gray with metal sheens for
94
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:26.279
about three bucks. Are you sure
these aren't banana hammock? Banana hammocks?
95
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.079
Get your mind out of the gutter, Chun. You can also get your
96
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.680
hamster a toy motorcycle for like two
dollars that comes in various colors, so

has its own toilet, shower and fifty
53
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.840
five inch TV. Dave said it's
worth every penny. His inspiration, he
54
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.919
said, when I was a lad, there was a pizza place called Winston's
55
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.080
where my mom and dad used to
take me if I did well at school.
56
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:31.240
It was fully immersive. You'd go
in. They had bunkers in the
57
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.039
basements, sandbags around the door.
The waitresses were all dressed in nineteen thirties
58
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.120
gear. They had artwork from the
War Museum. I felt like it was
59
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.280
an underground London during the Blitz.
They did it well, and not just
60
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:46.560
that they had the best pizzas.
As for those submarine doors, they're like
61
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.000
thirty five hundred dollars each and they
had to be welded on and especially designed
62
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.719
steel frame concreted three feet into the
ground. Asked how long he could survive
63
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:55.919
in the bunker, he said,
well, I have about fifteen bottles of
64
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.759
whiskey, but jokes aside, I've
got supply for a month from four.
65
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.919
I am Patty Callahan, Henry,
I am Mary kay Andrews, I'm Kristin

78
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.959
City has passed a bill outlawing discrimination
based on weight. More than forty percent
79
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:23.000
of American adults are considered obese.
Studies show waight stigma is pervasive. City
80
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.319
Councilman Shaun A. Bray You said
weight discrimination was a silent burden people have
81
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:30.079
had a carry. He says people
are being discriminated against with no recourse and
82
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.480
society saying that's perfectly fine. Good
news if you care about the environment.
83
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:39.600
The way I do a foldable cup
is changing the disposable plastic takeout industry.
84
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:43.920
The Good Cup is a foldable,
recyclable cup that acts as a mini takeout
85
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.519
container for hot and cold drinks.
It's fully recyclable. It's made with compostable
86
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:54.000
paper and recyclable bio based coding.
If one million twelve ounds Good Cups are
87
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.600
used, ten thousand pounds of plastic
would be saved, and good news for
