Good News about Free Highway Corn! Not roadside, road-on!

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five news stories. Tops. You know the baseball card people, Well, they released a card featuring a squirrel. Yeah. The squirrel ran on the field during a Yankees game against the Red Sox. They had to stop play. Max Fried was on the mound. He told MLB dot Com. This was the first time that's happened to me. My first reaction was, don't do anything that might embarrass you. I thought the squirrel was gonna run around, but it came straight to me and it went a little hole I created on the mound. Video from the game shows Max staring down the squirrel. Freed said, at one point, I think I said, all right, buddy, let's go. He just did his thing. It's definitely a little strange, but it's all in good fun. Eventually, the squirrel made its way back to Foul Territory, and it was last seen darting through the chain link fence. However, they made a baseball card out of it. It was going for nine bucks. It's already sold out. You can't get one. I mean, I guess you can go to the trading store and buy one. On the secondary market.

1:01 You do you I think these Guinness World records are out of control. And Idaho man set one. He is David record Breaker Rush. He collaborated with Jonathan Hollywood hennin and they set the record with ninety six ninety six. What Johnny Mack. Ninety six hits to the face with wet sponges in a single minute. What are we doing? The previous record was ninety two. They previously held the record for most wet sponges thrown in one minute with ninety two. Then another team beat them and scored ninety three. Well, now the record's ninety six. To get the record, one participant has to strike the second participant in the face.

1:42 David record Breaker Rush explains the real challenge. I need my eyes open to track the sponge and make that micro adjustment, but chut for a split second before the scratchy side smacks me in the eyeball. Then as soon as the water washes off, I've got to open them immediately to locate the next sponge. It's a NonStop cycle of precision. Time or just don't do this. There are other ways to apply your time. Like the scientists they're working on spinal cord injury recovery, perhaps even reversal. That's a good use of your time. A team at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities demonstrated a groundbreaking process that combines three D printing, stem cell biology and lab grown tissues to provide spinal cord injury recovery much more important than getting hit in the face with a wet sponge.

2:27 The team created a three D printed framework for lab grown organs called an organoid scaffold that's then populated with spinal neural progenitor cells derived from adult stem cells in humans and in some science has skipped a couple of paragraphs, but in the end, the new nerve cells integrated seamlessly into the host spinal cord tissue over time, leading to significant functional recovery in rats that were tested. That is some good work there. Scientists in New York City Custodians found a decade's old time capsule. It was supposed to be opened in twenty seventeen. Oops that in New York custodians found a time capsule that was supposed to be opened in twenty seventeen. Oops. Students at Smithtown West High School started assembling the time capsule back in nineteen seventy three.

3:11 It was completed in nineteen ninety two. Take your time there, guys. It was supposed to be opened in twenty seventeen. People forgot about it. The custodians found it in the storage room in the back. What was in it? What was it? What was in it? Well? The time capsule it self, a large plastic trash bin with a lid. You guys, didn't work too hard on this thing. It took you like forever to make it, and then you forgot about it. It was just a trash can. No wonder it got lost. You just put it in a nice box and bury it and put a plaque or something anyway. It contained photos, a nineteen seventy four calendar, a nineteen eighty seven banner proclaiming the school to be newsdays in nineteen eighty seven, School of the Year, a nineteen ninety two lunch menu, a student of the month certificate, and a VHS video yearbook from nineteen ninety one. The principal said, if anybody, as a VHS player, would love to swing by and watch this with you, still not over that time capsule?

4:01 Come on, guys, all right, trope time, Why are you laid for work this time, will you see boss? Highway sixty nine was filled with corn. Yeah. Truck loaded up with corn overturned on the highway spilled its load. The Custer County Sheriff's Office set emergency crews responded to Highway sixty nine's mile marker sixty nine. You know, over by hillside just north of Reed Road. You know the spot. This happened at two am on a Thursday. The truck had spilled its load of sweet corn. However, any undamaged corn from the crash was sent to the Wet Mountain Fire Protection District, where members of the public were invited to drop by and take some corn for free. Residents were asked please don't block the fire station driveway. The two am accident was completely cleared by seven pm Thursday.

4:48 But that's why I was late for work. And those are your five good news stories for today. If you like the program without commercials, go to Apple Podcast. Click the banner It says uninterrupted listening. It'll take it from there. Short version five bucks. Have a great day.
