00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:09.679
Kalaruga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five

2
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:14.480
good news stories. Hey, congratulations to those lovebirds Masazeke and Bagel.

3
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:17.000
They've been named couple of the year. That's right, those

4
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:20.199
crazy kids are the couple of the Year, as named

5
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:23.600
by the Odessa Zoo in Ukraine on social media. The

6
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.399
zoo said that Masazeke the cat and Bagel the Lamb

7
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:28.960
were chosen as a couple of the Year, beating several

8
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:33.479
same species pairs including lemurs, tigers and porcupines. Masazeke, whose

9
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.920
name translates to massage therapist, can often be seen perched

10
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:40.799
on Bagel's back. Bagel, again, is a lamb. A Couple

11
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:42.799
of the Year is an annual tradition at the zoo.

12
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:46.520
Last year's winners were a pair of mated sheep. In Mississippi,

13
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:48.920
the police are asking residents to be on the lookout

14
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:53.560
for a felony fleeing and disorderly conduct EMU. The police

15
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.679
said the EMU was last seen on Highway six over

16
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.039
by the Hundai dealership. You know the spot They shared

17
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.840
a wanted boaster for Emu. The greed saying the Australian

18
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:06.000
native bird is wanted for felony, fleeing and disorderly conduct.

19
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.879
The police reminds us please use all caution if you

20
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.000
come into contact with the suspect. It's known to charge

21
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.239
at anyone standing in the way of its freedom. The

22
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.000
police remind you don't honk your car horns. If you

23
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.400
see the UMU. She's scared and the owners have got

24
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.200
a team helping them to get her back home safe.

25
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:23.599
If you spot her, please notify us. We'll get in

26
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:25.840
touch with the owners. Johnny Mack, you got a record

27
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:29.040
for us. Sure, a Minnesota man played the world's fastest

28
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.159
round of disc golf. Most people call it frisbee golf,

29
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.319
but I guess Frisbee's a trademark, so disc golf. Sure.

30
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.680
The man completed a full eighteen hole round of disc

31
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.239
golf in four minutes and fifty eight point seven six seconds.

32
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:44.359
How far apart are these eighteen holes, never mind the

33
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.640
frisbee part. Could you even travel the eighteen holes in

34
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.599
four minutes and fifty eight point seven six seconds. Well,

35
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.799
Jonathan did it. He said. The record attempt combined two

36
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.519
of his favorite sports, disc golf and running. He told

37
00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.760
Guinness if running a disc golf had a baby, it'd

38
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.280
be mey, so the universe whispered to me to do

39
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:06.040
this record. The previous record was seven minutes, twenty nine

40
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.639
point eighty seven seconds. Johnathan did it in just under five.

41
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.199
He's out to set another record most disc golf hosts

42
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.199
played in twenty four hours. He's uh, I'll let you

43
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:20.000
know when he breaks it. A seafood company lost twenty

44
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.719
seven thousand salmon from a fish form off the cost

45
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.800
of Norway, and they're offering a bounty of about forty

46
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.159
five dollars per fugitive fish caught. That's pretty good catch

47
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:33.479
a salmon get forty five bucks. Really, fishermen, get out there. Maui,

48
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.719
the world's largest producer of farm salmon, set about a

49
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.240
quarter of it's one hundred and five thousand salmon escaped

50
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.599
from a fish form and entered the waters of northwest Norway.

51
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:45.120
The company said the fence separating the farm from open

52
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:49.599
waters was damaged by storms. They called on registered fishing

53
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.319
professionals to bring any of the fugitive salmon caught to

54
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.879
designated reception centers well to be paid forty five dollars

55
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.479
of fish. Experts say the escape fish could pose a

56
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.840
major risk to wild sand and in the area, they

57
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.120
could compete for the same spawning grounds and could spread

58
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:09.000
infections such as sea lice. My dogs are here. Are

59
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.000
you guys looking to go out? But I'm recording five

60
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:12.879
good news stories? Can I do one more story and

61
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:14.919
then we'll go out? Yeah, shake your ears. That sounds good.

62
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:17.000
On the microphone, I got to tell the people about

63
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.439
a woman who found love and got engaged after a

64
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:24.520
psychic on Etsy, And okay, I believe it all that in.

65
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:26.680
There was an edit there. You know what happened. The

66
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.159
dog nosed my microphone and knocked it out and the

67
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.960
recording filled, so I had to start over on this story.

68
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.840
Now I could edit all this out, but that's not fun.

69
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.479
My dogs really came in. They did have to go,

70
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.520
by the way. Anyway, a woman found love and got

71
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:45.000
engaged after a psychic on Etsy accurately drew her future

72
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.319
husband to Coole's thirty one. She'd been single for years

73
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.280
and was frustrated with dating, so she connected with a

74
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.479
clairvoyant on Etsy, who prophesied that she would meet her

75
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.439
ideal man within nine to thirteen months. That's kind of annoying, right,

76
00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:58.919
because then you're like, oh, I'm gonna meet somebody, but

77
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:00.919
you got to like run nine months and they're counting

78
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.840
down well. Nine months later, she met Vitour through TikTok.

79
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.439
The clairvoyant said it would be the relationship we've both

80
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:09.319
finally been waiting for, and we'd meet in nine to

81
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.400
thirteen months. She said, he's very kind, had strong features,

82
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:16.360
and she saw him being Mediterranean, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian. It

83
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.600
was ninety percent accurate. I knew he was my husband

84
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.920
when I looked at him. Nicole changed her tactics. She said,

85
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.240
I went in thinking I'm only looking to meet my husband.

86
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.639
They should treat me like a princess. Then dating became

87
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:28.560
fun again. I was telling the universe I was going

88
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.800
to meet my soulmate while she posted a TikTok catching

89
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.839
the eye of vi Tour, who slid into her DMS

90
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.279
with a message that sparked their connection. Not too long after,

91
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:40.879
Vitur was asking to call out for dinner. She said,

92
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:42.800
on that first date, he looked perfect. We stayed at

93
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.720
the restaurant until it closed. The date lasted seven hours.

94
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.800
I felt so at peace. And guess what Those are

95
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.360
Five good news stories for today. If you enjoy the program,

96
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.040
tell a friend about it. They might like it too,

97
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:55.879
and to go see what my dogs are up to.

98
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:56.800
You have an awesome day.
