Good News for a Toucan stuck.....behind a dishwasher?

0:03 Callaroga shark media boy. This show's fun to do. Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Some divers had some fun with an octopus. The octopus came out and took a selfie with them. Yeah. Chris was diving off Vancouver Island with his friend John. They ran into a giant Pacific octopus. The octopus stretched out its arms and grabbed John's camera. John told CBC was carrying around my camera for about five minutes that suddenly was jumping over to give Chris a big hug. Chris said, we originally saw it on our way out. We passed at the beginning to dive. Took a couple of pictures when it was underneath the rock. Half an hour later we passed back on the way home. It stretches quite far from where it was to grab hold of the camera.

0:48 It really went out of its way to get a hold of John and his camera. I like to give him space, but as I tried to swim away, it dropped the camera and started moving towards where I was going, effectively following me. It briefly stopped to interact with another octopus, then saw me up high or filming it and it made a bline right for me and jumped on me. Next Chris said it was wild, it was crazy. What was going on? John says, Chris has some great photos of it actually holding the camera and aiming it towards the wall. That's great. Do you like beetroot juice? Maybe you should. Apparently the blood pressure lowering effect of nitrate rich beetroot juice in older people may have something to do with changes in the oral microbiome. Researchers in England conducted the study. It followed previous research that had shown a high nitrate diet could reduce blood pressure, which could reduce the risk of heart disease. Professor An E. Vanhaldo said encouraging older adults to consume more nitrate rich vegetables could have significant long term health benefits. We know that a nitrate rich diet has health benefits, and older people produce less of their own nitric oxide as they age.

1:50 The good news is if you don't like beetroot, you could try spinach, celery, or kale. What if I don't like any of those? I mean, celery is okay, but I'm only to have cellary if I also have twelve buffalo wings and two beers. Not sure that's the healthiest diet there. Scientists get back to me. Rough day for a twu can, a woman's pet Tucan fell into the toilet and they had to call in the firefighters. Maria said, the two can plopped in. He freaked out. I freaked out. I picked him up, I scooped him, brought him to the sink and started rinsing him off to make sure he was clean. Apparently, the two can is not fond of forced bats and fled the sink before the two can could be dried off. Maria says, next thing I know, I'm like, where did Chester the two can go? He disappeared in the thin air. Poor Chester got stuck behind the dishwasher. She couldn't reach Chester. The two Can called the fire department. Jake showed up. He's been on the fire department for nineteen years, and he said the situation was first for him. He said, see all these comments about them taking us away from service. Jake says, this is our job. This is what we do. We help people and will also help birds whenever we have to.

2:55 All Right, it's not only trope time, it's meta trope time. Guinness celebrating its seventieth anniversary by challenging fans to attempt seventy unclaimed records. I see what you're doing here the unclaimed records. Okay, you want to be in the Guinness Book of World Records. Here are some of the records that are unclaimed. Fastest four hundred meters sack race. I feel like you could do that one farthest distance to bounce a coin into a cup. Now again, if no one's claimed the record, you could just do like one coin bounce and you could be the record holder for about a week until somebody steals your record. But why not the farthest distance, bottle flip, most high fives and thirty seconds. Again, the record's unclaimed, I'm gonna claim it and do one. Fastest time to build a five story playing card pyramid, fastest time to make a burrito, the fastest time to arrange a set of scrabbled titles in alphabetical order. The editor of Guinness World Records said, we're now looking forward and celebrating the current and next generation of record breakers. We want everyone to be part of it, whether that's using our new record selector tool or having a go at one of our seventy unclaimed records there for the taking, and can you pass the salt please.

4:03 Longer Tables is a nonprofit that believes in the power of shared meals. They welcomed thirty four hundred local people who signed up to sit down at the first ever quote mile long table, hence my joke about passing the salt. The table fifty two hundred and eighty feet long, that is indeed a mile. Hundreds of volunteers set up and serve the guests at the mile long table. Longer Table began its mission of promoting shared meals in twenty thirteen. They have since hosted more than one hundred gatherings in five states to help cities, organizations, businesses, and neighborhoods, creek cultures of connection and belonging. That sounds like it was a lot of fun. More info at Longer Tables dot org. And those are five good news stories for today.
