0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. King Charles met up with Ethel No. Ethel is the world's oldest living person. Ethel is one hundred and sixteen and the last surviving subject of Edward the Seventh. Ethel told King Charles some stories from his own youth, recalling his nineteen sixty nine visit and telling him all the girls were in love with you and wanted to marry you. I mean, he's a pretty good get. He's the king. She also reminisced about attending a garden party at Buckingham Palace in the nineteen sixties, her granddaughter's tease that she had often described King Charles as so handsome in his youth. The King held her hand and chuck out with the praise, saying, yes, well all that's left of him anyway, Happy birthday. There sounds like a great meeting. And if you'd like to keep up on the British royal family, we do do a podcast. It's called Pallas Intrigue. We do it seven days a week and we talk about the British Royals. So check out Pallace Intrigue wherever you found this program. Staying on the other side of one hundred, a Catholic nun in Ohio celebrated her one hundred and fifth birthday by playing golf.

1:09 Sister Renee and the cohorts from the Humility of Mary visited the Nole Run golf course. Sister Renee said, I think it helps you to know yourself. I do really anyway, and competing with yourself mostly, I think that's a fact. They're very helpful. It's a wonderful place to be, very meditative. It's a beautiful place, grass flowers and it's quiet. She started becoming a nun at age eighteen. She started playing golf in her forties. Her fellow sisters introduced her to golf and said, hit the ball. That was my only instruction that I ever received. Sister Renee plays golf every week and now teaches younger nuns how to play golf, for example, hit the ball. At age one hundred and five, she is legally blind and says, of two fellow nuns. Those two are kind enough to golf with me, and they tell me where my ball is. When I get there, they tell me how far it is to the hole.

1:53 And I use that club Without them, I couldn't golf. I love to do it, and it's a wonderful exercise. It's the one thing that kept me going as well as I have. That's fantastic. In New Jersey, the Yogi Bearra Museum and Learning Center gathered two three hundred and fifty eight people. You could have had twenty three fifty nine, or maybe I would have had to bring a friend. I'll tell you why a second. The three hundred and fifty eight people that did not include me set the Guinness World Record for playing catch. Yeah. You had to split off into pairs, so I would have just been standing there by myself and would have contributed. I get it now, Guinness explained. A spokesperson told MLB dot com. When we say catch, that does involve throwing the ball, not rolling it. There weren't a lot of deductions. So for group this size, I think eight pairs were deducted, which was minimal. Why are you rolling a ball that's not catch? How many stories did we do so far? Three? Right?

2:43 I think I have six in today script? Let me count? Yeah, I have six. Do you want to hear about the pet microchips or do you want to hear about the crab who was on a trade. Let's do the microchips. An animal rescue in Pennsylvania has installed a twenty four to seven microchip scanner, making it easier to help lost pets be reunited with their owners. The scanner is installed outside Paws Across Pittsburgh's rescue house, you know the one on East Sixth Avenue. The president and founder of Paws Across Pittsburgh said, the easiest way if you lose your pet for somebody to get back with you is a chip. Now, my dogs are chipped, but that I had a whole caper. Did I tell you about this caper? My dog escaped. She dug a hole on the fence. She's run around the neighbor, but I have no idea where she is. I started doing loops in the car. I didn't even see her. I had no idea where she was. So after a half hour I saw a local PD and I live in a small town. I'm like, hey, have you seen a brown dog? And he's like no, but let me get the guys on it. Very helpful, but in a small town, this is a big deal. So long story short, we found the dog. But if you were driving past my house. There were four police cruisers in front of the house. If I weren't involved with this, I would have been like, who was murdered? It? Just thank you local PD. Super helpful, super nice. They were great found the dog. But boy, visually it looked pretty bad.

3:58 Oh wait, you're not gonna believe this. I don't have six stories. See under the story number four, I have the story of a crab. But under story number five, I have the story of a crab. Well, good thing, so it's not six at all, it's five. I guess I am gonna tell you about the crab. The crab was on a train in first class. No, I don't even know how a crab gets on a train, but this one had a first class seat. Passengers on the London train spotted the small crab sitting on its own seat in first class, they explain. On a recent journey, one of our drivers, Mark was approached by a polite customer who said, excuse me, driver, there's a live crab on the seat over there, and it's been there since I got on Marked. The driver thought he was being pranked, but he confirmed there was indeed a live crab on the train. Some people were concerned because I was walking around the train station with a crab in my hand, but most people didn't bat an eyelid marked. The driver took Craig the crab to a local pond and freed him.

4:55 Where the crab came from and where the crab is now, no one knows, no is You're five, not six good news stories for today. You have a good one.
