1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.039
Caloroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm chining back with five

2
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:12.640
good news stories. Hey, good news. We got the horse

3
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:15.320
out of the pool. It's been a hot summer. I

4
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.640
feel you, mister Worris. Well, well, here's what happened. In

5
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:21.920
Oklahoma City. Police officers came to the rescue of a

6
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.239
horse that fell into a swimming pool. The owners came

7
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:28.039
home and found a horse standing in the pool's corner.

8
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:30.120
How they get the horse out? They used a rope

9
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.119
fashioned into a bridle. Police officers pulled the horse to safety.

10
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.679
The horse was unharmed. I would not do this story

11
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:38.840
if it didn't end well. You know how this podcast rolls.

12
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.000
A police spokesperson said, you know, it's a hot day

13
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:44.200
in Oklahoma City when the pony gets into the pool,

14
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.799
and like they say, you can lead a horse to water,

15
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.119
but you can't make it get out. Maybe we can

16
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:52.679
help the climate with some world changing solar technology that

17
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.159
can harvest energy from any light source. A company in

18
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.119
Sweden has created a durable, flexible miniature solar cell that

19
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.439
you could stick on to like anything, a keyboard, your headphone, speakers,

20
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.359
bike helmets, maybe my baseball cap that I wore all

21
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.920
the time. The lack of light during the winter in

22
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.439
Sweden inspired the co founders to look for other sources

23
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.560
of power for their solar cells, from direct sunlight to candlelight,

24
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.640
even moonlight. These solar cells are waterproof, dustproof, and shot proof.

25
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.680
They think they could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by

26
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.599
about six thousand tons every year. A nice job there.

27
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.640
A fundraising campaign has raised more than one hundred one

28
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.840
thousand dollars to help repair a Liverpool library and community

29
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.519
hub that suffered severe fire damage after being targeted by

30
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:39.480
rioters last week. Yeah, that's kind of awful. Nigella Lawson

31
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.040
is among those who have donated to the GoFundMe page,

32
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:46.120
which was set up and aid of Spello Hub Library.

33
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.040
They had an initial target of five hundred pounds, but

34
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.560
they've raised more than one hundred and twenty thousand pounds

35
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.200
in just over two days, more than six thousand donations.

36
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:56.959
The appeal was started by Alex who said I always

37
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:58.799
loved to read as a child, and seeing a library

38
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.120
and community space destroyed he broke my heart. I felt

39
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:03.280
helpless and want to do something to help. I thought

40
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:05.040
fundraising would be a nice waiter play. Some of the

41
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:09.400
books lost in the fire. Sparrow Hub found itself part

42
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.759
of a violent disorder last weekend. The riot was among

43
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.360
a number of incidents of violences that have taken place

44
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:19.199
across England. Police said when firefighters arrived at the library,

45
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.560
the rioters attempted to stop them. They even threw a

46
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:23.919
missile at the fire engine and broke the rear window

47
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.400
of the cabs. That part's off. All the good news

48
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:30.840
is the fundraiser. Good news for olympian Veronica Freely. She

49
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:33.759
was competing in the Paris Olympics and mentioned on Twitter

50
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.080
that she couldn't pay a rent. That got the attention

51
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.680
of Flavor Fleeve. She had posted, I compete in the

52
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:40.919
Olympic Games tomorrow and can't even pay my rent. My

53
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:42.919
school only said about seventy five percent of my rent,

54
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.360
while they pay football players who haven't won anything enough

55
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.599
to buy new cars and houses. Flave noticed the tweet

56
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:50.919
and wrote, I got you, DM me and I'll send

57
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.439
payment today so i don't have to worry about it tomorrow,

58
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.759
and I'm going to be rooting for you tomorrow. Let's go.

59
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:59.319
When I'm not doing this, I host a podcast that's

60
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.479
called Daily com Many News. Keep you up to date

61
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.199
on what's happening in the world standup comedy. It's a

62
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.560
lot of fun. We talk about everything from Seinfeld, Saturday

63
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:09.240
Night Live, Jim Gaffigan, Joe Rogan, Dave Chappelle, Nikki Glazer,

64
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:11.680
the Roase to Tom Brady. You know that kind of stuff,

65
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.199
and it could be very gossipy. It's a lot of fun.

66
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.240
Same thing. I keep it clean like this show. So

67
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.919
it's called Daily Comedy News, seven days a week, ten minutes.

68
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.000
Where if you get your shows. I got a world

69
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.840
record for you, I know, right, what's this one? Johnny

70
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.719
Mack and Italian man pulled three small planes while walking

71
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:29.960
on his hands. Yes, he broke the record for that

72
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:35.759
most light aircrafts pulled by walking on hands. Congratulations to Mateo.

73
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.560
He said he'd turned two more unusual athletic pursuits after

74
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:41.560
a series of injuries forced him to quit rugby. He

75
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.280
said the worst of them was a bad back injury.

76
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:45.280
The doctor said I can ever play sport again. But

77
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:46.639
they were wrong. All right.

78
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.120
How do you train for the record for most light

79
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.199
aircrafts pulled by walking on your hands? According to Matteo,

80
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.639
you do yoga, cardio and strength training. You could see

81
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.240
the strength training part. Sure, I'm proud of this record,

82
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.280
but I'm also not entirely satisfied about the final result.

83
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:03.719
I'm sure I can pull four aircraft or even more

84
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.080
so I'll try to do that as soon as I can,

85
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.599
and I'm sure Johnny Mack will report on that. And

86
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:10.560
those are five good news stories for today. If you

87
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:12.639

00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:14.919
like it too. And if you'd like the show without commercials,
