00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.279
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny mac with Fine

2
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:13.519
the Good News Stories. A woman's birthday wish came true.

3
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:16.640
She found a message in a bottle. She said, I

4
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:18.039
was talking with my boyfriend. I was like, you know,

5
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:20.120
what'd be so cool. I've never found a message in

6
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.679
a bottle. We were laughing about it because it seems

7
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:25.440
like an antiquated thing. Does that even exist anymore? Well,

8
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:27.839
they walk the beach for ten minutes and guess what

9
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.120
they found. That's right, a message in a bottle. She says.

10
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.479
I was stunned. I know it might sound silly now,

11
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:34.799
but I'd said I want to do it, and it

12
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:36.399
was my birthday, and I was like, this is a

13
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.039
dream come true, all right. The glass bottle contained a

14
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:44.079
note dated August fourth, twenty twenty four. The note read,

15
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:46.359
Hi everyone, I am a girl. I love the sea,

16
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:48.600
so I thought I could write a message love Parker.

17
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.759
Parker wrote she was from Charleston. Rebecca posted the note

18
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.840
on Facebook to try and find Parker. She said, I'd

19
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:56.600
love to tell Parker I muscle a girl loves the

20
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.759
sea and this is the best birthday present. Parker's mom, Kate,

21
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:02.439
found out about this showed it to Parker, who's eight

22
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.680
years old. Parker's dad said, Parker really likes the water

23
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.280
and the sea itself. She really does have this affinity

24
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:11.359
for outdoors. Rebecca's a third grade teacher and she has

25
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:14.879
assigned students to write their own messages in bottle style letters.

26
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.239
New Guinness record for you. Some YouTubers have constructed an

27
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:24.519
iPhone fifteen Promax, measuring six point seven four feet tall.

28
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.599
Tech reviewer Mister Who's the Boss teamed up with gadget

29
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:33.560
specialist Dey Perks to build the world's largest smartphone replica.

30
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:35.719
Mister Who's the Boss said he wanted to create a

31
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.799
giant iPhone to celebrate the milestone of his YouTube follower

32
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:43.439
accounts for passing that of the official Apple accountct. The

33
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.480
finished phone is fully functional, including a touchscreen, camera, flashlight,

34
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.040
and charging port. Mister Who's the Boss says it feels

35
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.000
like a full circle moment. I'm so proud of both

36
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.439
our team and diy Perks pulling off what's never been

37
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.239
done before. Yeah, but it doesn't fit in my pocket.

38
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.959
In Perth, they have discovered at Australia's most endangered reptiles

39
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.760
surviving in colder temperatures than they thought. This has inspired

40
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.719
conservationists in Perts to continue trying to save the species,

41
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.039
thought to have only four hundred or five hundred individuals

42
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.919
remaining in the wild. They are now introducing the western

43
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:18.719
swamp tortoise into other areas, looking to find a suitable

44
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:21.560
home for the animal while its natural habitat dries up.

45
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:25.280
Southern Forest wildlife officials were excited when they found that

46
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:29.639
the turtles had survived colder climates. Current weathern patterned models

47
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.400
for Western Australia predicts the current habit of the western

48
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.680
swamp tortoise will dry up to a dangerous degree. They're

49
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.599
hoping that this will be a good solution for the

50
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:43.280
western swamp tortoise. Meanwhile, there may not be one Lochnaz monster,

51
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.719
there might be two. NeSSI Hunter Ian was watching the

52
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.599
webcam of Loch Ness. He was shocked to see not

53
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:51.759
just one, but two apparent objects moving in the water.

54
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.560
That's right, there were two huge wakes visible on the surface,

55
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.360
moving side by side away from the camera before they

56
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.439
combined and vanished. Ian said, I was amazed at the spectacle.

57
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:03.000
I couldn't get my head around in the size of

58
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.120
both wakes and the amount of disturbance they were causing.

59
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:07.840
I expected to see two barwer boats on the surface,

60
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.280
but there was nothing to see. Some sort of live

61
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:13.639
creatures were responsible for these large weeks. There are obviously

62
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.800
two creatures responsible for them. If they are Nessies, well

63
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.840
then there were two Nessies. In New Hampshire. A bunch

64
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.680
of folks played in the Mud Bowl, celebrating its fiftieth

65
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:26.800
year of football, featuring players trudging through knee deep mud.

66
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.879
Jason is a fifty year old quarterback for the North

67
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.400
County mud Crocks, and he said, you're playing football in

68
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.080
the mud, so you gotta have a smile on your face.

69
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:35.800
It's just a different game in the mud. Doesn't matter

70
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.080
how good you are in grass, that doesn't matter in

71
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.400
the mud. This is an annual event that takes place

72
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:44.800
at Haga Colisseum. The weekend kicked off Friday night with music,

73
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.759
followed by the Tournament of Mud Parade on Saturday. A

74
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.319
dozen teams with men and women, competed in the tournament.

75
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.960
Bryan's been playing mudball for twenty years and he says,

76
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:55.400
you get to a point where you're like, I'm not

77
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:57.439
going burrowing anything, I might as well feel like I'm

78
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.000
competing day and day out. The mud gets in the eye.

79
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:01.719
As you get cracks in your feet, you getting button

80
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:03.479
your toenails for weeks. You get it in your ears too.

81
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:05.240
You'll be cleaning out your ears for a long while.

82
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.039
You'll be blowing your nose and you'll get some dirt

83
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:08.639
and you're like, Oh, I didn't know I still had

84
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:10.560
that in there. And those are five good news stories
