0:13 Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there Shohnny Mack with five good news stories and laughing at this first story. Hey, why relate for work? Well, boss, you gotta understand. The interstate was covered with mozzarella cheese. Firefighters were called in to an interstate in Pennsylvania. There was a crash three tractor trailers, the result mozzarella cheese being spilled across two hundred yards. The Snowshoe Fire Company set on social media that there was a crash at mile marker one five on I eighty, leaving a debris field. I know that I eight well, I've read in Chicago and back many times. This is a good chance. I don't know the particular mile marker, but this is a good chance that that I eight at that point is two lanes anyway eastbound I eighty closed at mile marker one five because of two hundred yards of mozzarella cheese. The firefighters arrived unseen and determined one of the trucks had been hauling boxes of mozzarella cheese yes and was spent wide open with debris all over the roadway. They determined no HASMAT response was needed, but all the cheese was heading to the landfill, as all the cheese had been deemed unsalvageable due to being unrefrigerated for hours. And I will personally editorialize and being spread all over an interstate highway. Now, I am well aware of the tropes of five good news stories. Right, We've got the y relayed for work, the New World Record, and good News we found your animal. Right, I get it.
1:43 But they're fun stories, which is why I do them. The devil's always in the details. So good news we found your EMUs. A pair of EMUs had escaped from their home in Minnesota. Tom said someone left the gate open. He told CBS, I figured the way they can move. Who knows where they'd end up. They were out near Rush Lake Road. The county Sheriff's office set on social media calling all EMU owners. We did make calls to Liberty Mutual Insurance. This is not their EMU. It also isn't Kevin from the popular movie Up. If you happen to know the owner of this EMU, please have them reach out to dispatch to let us know. Tom contacted the sheriff's office. He said the sheriff called back and said, we know where the emos are someone else in the area that owns EMUs thought they were his, so he ran and captured them and brought them home, and he realized, wait a minute, these are not my EMUs. See, I told you the devil's of the details. So that's why we're doing why relate for work. A one thousand year old sword has gone on display. It was found in a river. It dates back to around ten fifty or eleven fifty. The sword is remarkably well preserved after a thousand years. Only the organic components, like the wooden grip and any leather wrappings have succumbed to time. The sword is over three feet in length. It has a crossguard and a semi circular pommel. Basically, if you're imagining a medieval sword in your mind, that's what this looks like.
3:06 Someone else described it as what a sword would look like if he asked a nine year old boy to draw a sword. That's how I described the scar on my arm. So I had like a dot like the size of a period removed for a skin cancer scare. The scar that I have from that little tiny thing is like if you told a kid draw a scar. It is tremendous. I was shocked. I mean, I'm glad that they got it out, but like, oh my goodness, I can't believe the size of the scar in my arm. Now. Luckily it's high up on my arm that you know, unless I'm walking around shirtless, he won't see it. But boy, it looks like if a kid drew a scar. The museum said in a statement, Medieval swords were deeply personal possessions. They were either buried with their owner or alternatively deposited into water as part of a ritual. In that latter case, they were often exceptionally well preserved. This sword could be wilded with one hand. A cross was inlaid on one side of the blade near the crossguard. Another one composed of diamonds. Sounds like a cool sword. Congratulations to the three hundred people who donned inflatable dinosaur costumes and took place in the annual t Rex World Championship Races. It's held annually since twenty seventeen. This year, the t Rex World Championship Races also featured an aerial event. Three people in t Rex costumes jumped out of a plane and parachuted down onto the field. No good news if you weren't there. ESPN two is going to air it sometime later.
4:30 This summer. A woman moved from New York to California. She found a place. It's just five hundred dollars a month. That's pretty good. Caitlyn has a twelve hundred square foot place. Oh, I forgot to mention. It's an underground bunker. Yes, a subterranean shelter, you know, the kind of thing they used to build to avoid the atomic bombs. Caitlyn has a master bedroom with a bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, a lounge area, eighteen bunk beds, an extra bathroom, two additional toilets, and another ship. She proposed to the owners that she could live in and maintain the bunker and garden for just five hundred dollars a month. A typical one bedroom in that area would cost around two thousand dollars. And she adds, and I don't pay utilities. How do you get to the bunker? She has to pass through a hydraulic door, go down fifteen steps, and stride past a blast proof door. Because it's underground, no sunshine, so she has some artificial sunshine in her bedroom. She says, in the winter it can be a little tough because it's constantly dark, both inside and outside the bunker. She hasn't plan to live there forever, but she has negotiated with her friend to let her stay for another year, to which the friend has already agreed. And those are your five good news stories for today.
