00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.439
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Shoanny Mack with five

2
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:15.359
good news stories. Three bison escape, four bison return. Wait

3
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:17.600
what happened here? Well, the good news is we got

4
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.440
your bison back. All right? What happened in Connecticut? There

5
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:23.160
were three bison that escaped from a farm. They came

6
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:26.160
back with a fourth bison. Where did they randomly come

7
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:29.199
up with a fourth bison? You're curious? I was curious. Well, Amanda,

8
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.600
her family owns three b ranch, had three bison escaped

9
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.399
by knocking over a section of wire fence on a Sunday,

10
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.200
and they all came back on their own Tuesday night.

11
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.159
But they had with them a newborn baby bison. That's right,

12
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.799
Connecticut Insider says, what we've been kind of saying was

13
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:48.079
that the bison went on maternity leave. The police put

14
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:50.799
out a statement saying, these fluffernators, I like that word,

15
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:53.280
had a few eventful days out meeting and greeting the locals,

16
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:55.679
learning about the rules of the road. Everyone knows buffalo

17
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.240
of the right away at every intersection now, and finally

18
00:00:58.280 --> 00:00:59.759
they decided it was time to take a nap in

19
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.039
the comforts of their own pasture. Congratulations, to Mama and

20
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.280
Papa Bison and their good friend apparently who knows, Johnny Mack,

21
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:09.400
you never do any Guinness World records, I know, all right?

22
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.799
How about this one? Aspirance has the new record for

23
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:18.200
most tattooed person female and most body modifications female. She's

24
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.519
thirty six. She's also in Connecticut. She has covered ninety

25
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.280
nine point ninety eight percent of her body and tattoos

26
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.799
and has eighty nine body modifications. She said she got

27
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.239
her first tattoo, which has been since covered up, about

28
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.640
fifteen years ago. Her first body modification a split tongue,

29
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:38.120
ten years ago. Her other body modifications include several body piercings,

30
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.159
as well as tissue stretching mods and tattoos on her

31
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.120
eyeballs and gums. She said she's not done yet in

32
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.079
terms of my body being covered. It's still hard to

33
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.159
imagine a set ending. For many years now, I've been

34
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.359
moving towards more cohesiveness in my suit. That's still a

35
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.799
name of mine. Good news. Scientists think aspirin may lower

36
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:58.439
risk of colorectal cancer. As always on our mind, you

37
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:00.840
don't get your medical information from a guy recording a

38
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.480
podcast in his basement. Consult your local physicians. But a

39
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:09.240
study published in GEMMA Oncology says, after following one hundred

40
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:11.759
thousand men and women for thirty years, all right, so

41
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:15.680
this is no flighty survey, researchers from mass General Brigham

42
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.199
found that aspirin can quote proportionally lower than markedly elevated

43
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.000
risk in those with multiple risk factors for colorectal cancer. Meanwhile,

44
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.759
in Minnesota, they've elected a new mayor. This new mayor

45
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:28.400
loves to scratch his ears and chew toys. If you

46
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.080
figured out the twist yet, you probably have. The town

47
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.439
in Minnesota is so small they don't have a city government.

48
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.680
But what they do have is a ceremonial mayor. Kalisi

49
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.479
the dog was just elected as the mayor. Kalisi beat

50
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.280
out two other dogs and a YouTube star who also

51
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:48.400
read for mayor. Interestingly, Kalisi is originally from Idaho. This

52
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.000
is not the first time a dog has been the mayor.

53
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.560
Duke was mayor from twenty fourteen to twenty nineteen. All right,

54
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:57.639
so there you are. You're in a California beach, you're

55
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.400
a lifeguard, you're enjoying the weather, and oh, oh my god,

56
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.280
is that a human skull. Nope, Nope, nope, Relax. The

57
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.800
Long Beach Police Department said lifeguards contact of authorities when

58
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.080
they found what appeared to be a human skull with

59
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.919
part of its face missing. Rumors spread on social media

60
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.759
about a grizzly discovery. Police said they were close to

61
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.319
launching a homicide investigation when medical examiners determined that the

62
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.919
skull was not from a human or any animal. It

63
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.599
was a plastic prop skull that merely appeared realistic from

64
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:27.639
a distance. And those are your five good news stories

65
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:29.800
