A self-driving Waymo car is pulled over for making an illegal U-turn

0:03 Calaruga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Chiney Mack with five goodoo stories. Now in France, cheese has its own museum, there's a hospital ward for people who get sick eating French cheese, and of course they have the Cheesemonger Olympics. Now, if you're like, what's a cheesemonger, A cheesemonger is the person who sources and sells cheese. While congratulations to Amelia. She is the first American to win gold in the Cheesemonger Olympics. She's from Philadelphia. She learned the profession at the Philly Cheese School. She's been cheesemongering for years. She told CBS News. My teammate Courtney and I are the first all female team USA. They had never sent two girls before. They beat out cheese stronghold nations like Switzerland, Spain, Italy, and of course France. She had to compete in four events.

0:54 The events are a blind tasting, the perfect cut, a cheese sculpture, and a one hundred centimeter square plateau centered around a theme. She says in other parts of the world, like Europe, being a cheesemonger is seen as a really respected career in America. It's not as respected as it should be. It's definitely skilled labor. We have to have an encyclopedic knowledge of the cheeses. In the case if you want to try some cheese, she recommends that point reyis Formstead in California, who's Bay Blue is the perfect first time with blue cheese. You could open to find and don't even have to pay to import it. All right, that's cool. Good news for Rico the dog. Rico the dog was days away from being euthanized when Rachel, who runs a dog training school, paid two hundred dollars to rescue him from a Portuguese dog pound. She told the news, I saw this picture online of this really cute black and tan dog in Portugal and they said he only two days to live. I paid the fee to get him out of the pound, but they had found him at home, so I ended up paying him and bringing him over to England. She took him home and discovered he's really good at tracking. It was like hide and seek.

1:55 Now Rico is being used to track down lost pets and animals which escaped from their enclosures and probably wind up as the fifth story on this podcast more often than not, including a runaway Campabara. Now Rico is training other dogs across the world to also rescue pitts. That's awesome. Cal Rale from the Seattle Mariners met a twelve year old Marcus, who had wound up with Cal's sixtieth home run baseball. Marcus gave it back to the Mariners in exchange for gifts and experiences. That's nice, kid. You could have probably walked in that thing off. Marcus was there at the game, sitting with his dad, and the baseball landed in their section. After Cal hit the home run, it ricocheted off. Multiple hands came to arrest. Marcus said, at lands in, this guy named Glenn's hands, I go for a high five and just gives me the ball.

2:37 In that moment, I was just surprised that Dad said it happened so quick. He was crying. I was in shock. Within moments, Marcus and Dad were ushered away by Mariner's staff. Yeah, I'm sure they wanted that baseball. Dad said. By the time he rails, what happened that he hit a home run, He's touching history the sixtieth ball. The Mariners escort us away and everything's a blur. The Mariners people asked, Hey, what do we gotta do to get this baseball from you? Dad said, this is your moment. I'm not gonna tell you what to do. You make the decision. I'll support you. The kid decided to trade the ball for a signed bat and tickets to the Dodgers game. He's also given field access with his whole family to batting practice. Marcus told the News, I wanted to exchange the ball because some people wouldell it for a lot of money. But I just wanted to give it to cow. I think that's a special part of it. It's his sixtieh im run and all his family was here. You probably could have gotten more than tickets to the Dodger game. Kid, But hey, nice story. All right, Let's talk about Tom.

3:25 He's very passionate about Bozo the Clown. He's been passionate about Bozo the Clown since his mom got him a bendable Bozo the Clown toy back in nineteen sixty nine. He has now opened up a museum called the Boseium. Love It. Tom said, I don't know how it happened. I really don't. I can't explain it. It's just been piece by piece, day by day, and it's been fun. He is a self proclaimed bosologist. He has written the book on Boso and he's now opened the Boseum, eight hundred square feet on Douglas Avenue, and says, once it's all set up, I think this would be pretty cool. I want people to remember the fun. At sixty one years old, he's looking to the future, hoping one person will take over the collection someday. He said, it'd be nice if it stays together, but if it gets broken up, it doesn't matter. It'll all find its own place. And in California, the police pulled over a car for making an illegal U turn. Here's the problem. It was one of those self driving weaiymos. The Waimo made an I llegal U turn, but there was no driver behind the wheel, so there was no one to give a ticket to.

4:23 They say their citation books don't have a box for robot. They had fun with this on social media. They wrote that's right, no driver, no hands, no clue, and they posted pictures of an officer peering into the driverless car. They contacted Wayboa to report a glitch. Some people were outraged the police didn't ticket the company. People also wanted to know how the police got the car to pull over. A local sergeant said they can only ticket a human driver or an operator for a moving violation, unlike parking tickets that can be left with the vehicle. However, next year a law kicks in allowing police to report moving violations to the DMV. They're trying to figure out how the old ticket driverless car is making illegal you turns. Welcome to the future, folks, and those here five good news stories for today, have a good one.
