Gravedigger retires at age 92

0:03 Kalaroka Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Congratulations to Alan. He holds the world's record for most years digging graves, the record seventy three years. Alan is retiring at age ninety two after digging graves at Galveston Cemetery in Indiana for seventy three years and seventy five days. He got the job after covering the shift of the previous guy who was supposed to cover for a week back in nineteen fifty two. It turned into a career and by twenty twenty one he had the record for longest career as a grave digger. Previous record sixty eight years, one hundred ninety one days. His son Dean, said he was planning on digging for a few more weeks, but after a spell of not feeling well, we believe he's accepted his decision, both mentally and physically.

0:52 Alan is feeling better. In case you're curious, the Auguinness World Record said the auction of the cheetahzard has resulted in a new record. Now, if you're like, what's a cheetosard, obviously it is a flaming hot cheeto shaped like the Pokemon Cherizard, the cheetosard was auctioned off for eighty seven thousand, eight hundred and forty dollars, proving someone has too much money or maybe they don't anymore. That earned the record for highest price paid for a video game Likeness corn Snack Dave is the head of consignment for Golden Auctions. He said, part of what makes this item so fun and unique is it bridges two fandoms, Pokemon and Cheetos. The Cheeto was originally purchased on eBay by Paul for three hundred and fifty dollars, and I'll remind you he sold it for eighty seven, eight hundred and forty dollars.

1:39 Who bought that. I don't know. Nice job by a waitress in Florida. Gloria has quietly built one of the most impactful grassroots feeding operations in the country, serving more than two hundred and seventy thousand meals to people experiencing homelessness since twenty twelve. Gloria is a sixty two year old immigrant from Barbados. She started small cooking out of her home and four Lauderdale with whatever she could afford from her waitress salary. She said, I started with buying a little bit of spaghetti and ground beef, and I started with forty meals. The next week, I went to sixty, then eighty. Before you knew it, it was two hundred meals every weekend. Today she purchases large quantities of chicken, fish, fresh produce, rice, bread, and bottled water, enough to feed one hundred and seventy five to two hundred people regularly.

2:20 At the peak during COVID, she was serving up to six hundred meals. She says, when it's cold, wendy, raining doesn't matter, we have to show up. A warning from the hardin County Sheriff's office, Please do not try to approach or catch the emu. Authorities in Kentucky have said, Mystery the emu got loose when storms knocked down her shelter in her fence. Mystery the emu escaped from the owner's property on Salt River Road, you know the place. The police said, Please do not try to approach or catch her. EMUs will run if frightened, which makes it harder for her owner to safely get her home. At the time of this recording, I have no update on the emu name mystery. It remains mystery, all right, John, Why relead for work this time? Well? Yeah, see, boss, and I was driving there on the itin in California and suddenly this truck turns over and spilled syrup all over the road. Yeah no, this happened. Boston closed the highway for like nine hours. Hundreds of gallons of syrup were spilled all over the tin coltrans showed up. They tried to use an absorbent material to clean up the syrup, but it was too sticky, so they had to bring a water truck to hose down the roadway. The westbound lanes were closed for like nine hours, and they didn't open up the lanes until eight pm. So that's why I was late. And those are five good news stores for today. I have a good one.
