stories. Just want to thank all

miss an episode. Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Right, it's Aclipse Day.
6
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:29.120
Couple fun facts for you. The
moon is busy today. It's going
7
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:33.159
to eclipse not only the Sun but
also Venus. Will disappear from the sky
8
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:37.520
starting at twelve thirty four Eastern daylight
time and reappear at one forty eight pm
9
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:42.840
the next oculation of Venus Europe September
twenty five. The eclipse begins today,
10
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:47.359
it ends tomorrow because of the magic
of time zones. As the eclipse sun
11
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.840
rises in the Pacific Ocean and crosses
the line islands of Kiribati, it'll be
12
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:56.280
April ninth. There. This is
the longest totality on land in thirteen years.
13
00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.600
Parts of Mexico will experience a totality
lasting four minutes twenty eight seconds.
14
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.920
It's the longest since twenty ten.
If you were down on the Easter Islands
15
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.079
checking that one out. If you're
in Dallas, soak this one in.
16
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.760
You won't get another solar eclipse in
Dallas until twenty three forty five. The
17
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.239
last one in Dallas eighteen seventy eight. This eclipse is part of an alignment
18
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.840
known as Saros one thirty nine.
That alignment will peak in twenty one eighty
19
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.799
six July sixteenth. In particular,
if you want to put it on your
20
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.040
calendar in twenty one eighty six,
the totality will last seven minutes twenty nine
21
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:32.000
seconds off the coast of Brazil.
That will be the longest solar eclipse that
22
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:36.519
signed to say will ever occur.
This is the second eclipse in just over
23
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:40.000
six and a half years. If
you're in an area in Missouri, Kentucky,
24
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.719
and Illinois, they also experienced the
Great American Eclipse in twenty seventeen.
25
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.959
For me, I went down to
Nashville to see the one in twenty seventeen.
26
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.920
It was a perfectly sunnied morning.
I had a rented car in case
27
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:52.439
the weather was bad and I was
gonna drive somewhere in case the weather went
28
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.840
sideways. I got beat by one
cloud. There was one cloud in the
29
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.959
sky at a block the eclipse for
me, so I am obsessed with sea.
30
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:04.760
This eclipse today, it'll be North
America's longest totality since eighteen o six.
31
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.840
That one was four minutes twenty six
seconds on June sixteenth, eighteen o
32
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:13.159
six, in Salem, Massachusetts.
I wonder if they thought witches were involved.
33
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.919
You may be able to see Comet
twelve p Ponds Brooks, look about
34
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:21.800
twenty five degrees northwest of the Sun, close to Jupiter. The next solar
35
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:27.319
eclipse the United States Alaska March thirtieth, twenty thirty three, the contiguous US
36
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.199
two more in twenty forty four and
twenty forty five, And if you enjoy
37
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.199
two days eclipse, the same eclipse
will happen on May eleventh, twenty seventy
38
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.719
eight. That one will have a
totality of five minutes and forty seconds.
39
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:40.520
So if you're young enough you can
catch that one. I'll be in my
40
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.080
low one hundreds, but if I'm
around, I'm going to make an effort
41
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.000
to go see it. Did you
joy the earthquake on Friday? I know
42
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.120
West Coaster is like, yeah,
big deal, but those of us on
43
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.439
the Northeast, it was a big
deal. And it was a big deal
44
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.560
for Justin Allen. He was in
the middle of the getting of aseectomy.
45
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.560
Justin said, I thought the doctor
was messing with me. He had to
46
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.439
stop because everything was shaking. I
thought maybe a train was passing or was
47
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:04.080
something that happens at the office.
Even the doctor was like, I think
48
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.520
this is an earthquake. I figured
he was messing with me, but he
49
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.680
had to stop. The doctor put
the tools down for a moment and we
50
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:14.639
talked about how we'd never forget where
we were during the earthquake. Alan says
51
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:16.520
everything turned out great. I feel
as good as I possibly can, and
52
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.599
the numbing is starting to wear off. New Yorker has had a lot of
53
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.800
fun with the earthquake. One person
opposed on social media if I die from
54
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.360
an earthquake and in a midtown Dwayne
read, I'm going to be pretty ticked.
55
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.400
The world oldest man says the secret
to his long life is moderation and
56
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:38.080
fish and chips every Friday. John
Alfred Tinniswood is one hundred eleven and has
57
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.280
been confirmed as the new holder of
the title by the Guinness Book. This
58
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:46.439
follows the death of Venezuelan Juan Vincente
Perez, who passed away recently at age
59
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:51.159
one hundred and fourteen on March thirty
first, a man in Japan, a
60
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.479
jesub burosnobe, who passed away at
age one twelve. That makes John Alfred
61
00:03:54.520 --> 00:04:00.599
Tinniswood at one eleven, the oldest
man born in Liverpool August twenty sixth twelve
62
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.560
after the sinking of the Titanic.
He never smokes, rarely drinks, and
63
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:08.639
follows no special diet aside from fish
and chips once a week. Good news
64
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:13.960
for nineteen cats who roam the presidential
Palace in Mexico. The President has declared
65
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.560
them to be living fixed assets.
That obligates the Treasury to give them food
66
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.759
and care for the rest of their
lives, even after the president leaves office
67
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:25.120
in October. They asked the cats
for a comment. Cats, Bowie,
68
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:30.639
Cocoa and Olin declined to comment.
NewBay said meow, all right, I
69
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.399
hope you weren't on this flight.
It was a three hour flight from New
70
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:39.319
Zealand to Auckland and a man has
been fined six hundred Australian dollars Why Johnny
71
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.639
Mack he was urinating in a cup
during a flight delay you know, I
72
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.600
can kind of understand, I said, kinda depends how long the delay was,
73
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.639
you know, if it was like
a fifteen hour delay, at some
74
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:54.120
point, hey, can I go
to the bathroom or flight attendants. However,
75
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.560
this plane had only been on the
tarmac for about twenty minutes waiting for
76
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.040
a gate, and then the man
did what he had to and probably could
77
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.439
have waited twenty minutes. An eyewitness
said. The man was obviously quite drunk.
78
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:09.639
Oh and it gets worse. He
spilled the cup on a flight attendant
79
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:13.399
as he left the plane. You're
welcome for that visual. Those are your
80
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.000
five good news stories for today.
