00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.599
Callaroga Shock Media. This is my new favorite story. Hi,

2
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:13.320
I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Good news

3
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:17.239
for Sammy Hagar. You have not been arrested. No, was

4
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:21.960
not Sammy Hagar. It was a man impersonating Sammy Hagar.

5
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:26.879
He was arrested for impersonating Sammy Hagar and if several businesses,

6
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:31.239
including two banks and a vape shop. The man was

7
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.399
claiming to be the real Red Rocker and attempted to

8
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:39.159
open accounts under the name Sammy Hagar Enterprises LLC to

9
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.759
prove his identity. He even busted into a version of

10
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.039
I Can't Drive fifty five. A bank teller told the police.

11
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:47.280
He said he was on tour but needed to cash

12
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.200
a royalty check. He was wearing red sunglasses and smelled

13
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:52.960
faintly of Margarita mix, so I thought it was actually

14
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:58.240
Sammy Hagar. The guy presented a homemade ID card that

15
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:03.759
read Sammy Hagar R God. A girls volleyball team started fundraising.

16
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.760
They found out that the high school custodian didn't have

17
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:09.439
a car of his own. One of the students said,

18
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:11.959
he's just really helpful. Honestly, he supports us through everything.

19
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.400
He's our biggest cheerleader. They found out that the guy

20
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.439
was staying at the school until one a m. Waiting

21
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:20.079
for somebody to pick him up, so they set up

22
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:22.599
a go fundme campaign raised more than three thousand dollars

23
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.159
the first day, eventually got to nine thousand dollars. A

24
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.519
local car dealership heard about the efforts. They called him

25
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:33.200
outside for an emergency. The emergency was, here's your new car.

26
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.200
I mentioned recently, I can't stand the landscapers with the

27
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.200
leaf blowers. Drives me nuts. I might have to move

28
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:42.040
to Jpeak Ski Resort in Vermont. Can I live at

29
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.920
a ski resort? I probably can. For purposes of the show. Again,

30
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:49.200
they're not using the landscaping company. They're using sheep and goats.

31
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.560
The chew crew keep weeds and other overgrowth than check

32
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.959
while reducing erosion, cutting back on fossil fuel use, and

33
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.400
best of all, doing the thing in silence. Cloud Brooke raising.

34
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.959
We'll rent you out of the animals. Adam, the owner there, said,

35
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:05.959
the goats are great at the trees and the golden

36
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.680
rod and the other types of brush, but the sheep

37
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:09.759
really do well with the grasses. So by mixing the

38
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.159
two together we get everything covered pretty well. More good

39
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.639
news for animals. A company in North Carolina is growing

40
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:20.960
leather without arming the animals. George is a biomedical engineer.

41
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.599
He created what he calls cultivated leather made from skin

42
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.080
cells of a cow named Angel who's doing just fine

43
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.159
at an animal sanctuary in New York. The process grows

44
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:35.560
the cells on plant based fibers like dandelion fluff. Finally

45
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.919
a use for that stuff than tans the finished material

46
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.000
using natural tree bark powders instead of horse chemicals. The

47
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.479
goal luxury leather that's cruelty free and far better for

48
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.639
the planet. He calls it a biological gemstone and hopes

49
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.319
it's a glimpse of a slaughter free future for fashion.

50
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.599
Nice job by John bond Jovi He is feeding furloughed

51
00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:01.280
federal workers for free. His community restaurant, Abj's Sole Kitchen

52
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:04.560
as offering complimentary three course meals to government employees affected

53
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.080
by the shutdown. All workers need to do is show

54
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:08.840
their federal idea and they'll be treated to a hot

55
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:10.919
chef prepared meal at either of the restaurants and his

56
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:14.280
New Jersey locations, or a special pop up inside the

57
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.919
library in Redbag, New Jersey John and Missus bon Jovi

58
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:20.919
started Sole Kitchen as a paid forward restaurant where diners

59
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:22.879
who can afford it make a donation to cover someone

60
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.439
else's meal. Those who can't pay are encourage to volunteer.

61
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:29.360
Everyone needs together, no questions asked. The couple says the

62
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.479
goal is simple to serve good food with dignity. Those

63
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.000
your five good news stories for today. You have a

64
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:35.520
