Hey, is that Dave Grohl on the BBQ? Yes! PLUS It smells like rats!

Hey, is that Dave Grohl on the BBQ?  Yes! PLUS It smells like rats!

A spaniel is trained to sniff out rats, but from there it's the humans' problem.

Dave Grohl volunteered for over 24 hours....on the BBQ!

The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack
with five good news stories. Hey,

2
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:13.080
that guy over there on the barbecue, isn't that Dave Grohl? Why,

3
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:17.160
yes, it is. Dave Grohl
spent over twenty four hours volunteering at an

4
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:22.679
LA shelter to prepare barbecue for hundreds
of people experiencing homelessness. Grohl had brisket,

5
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:26.640
pork butt, ribs, and moore
delivered to Hope the Missions Trebec Center,

6
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:30.359
Northridge, California. The director over
there says he arrived around three in

7
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:32.719
the afternoon, and then he was
in our kitchen. He was prepping the

8
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:34.600
meat, he was cutting it up, and he was there until he put

9
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:37.520
it in the smoker. The meat
didn't go into the smoker until midnight that

10
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:39.960
night because he's like, ah,
that's the season and has to do this.

11
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:42.679
He's definitely a craftsman when it comes
to that. And then he spent

12
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:47.039
the night Hope. The Missions Shelters
served inner around six pm, so Grohl

13
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.240
was working towards that deadline to be
able to serve the meals after they were

14
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.799
prepared. The director said he actually
served our guests. He came out and

15
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.759
was very gracious and took pictures with
the people that recognized him. He wanted

16
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.200
no glory for it. He was
just like, I just want to do

17
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.880
this for you guys. Give back
in that way. Girl told the staffers

18
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.680
that he finds getting into the barbecue
pit therapeutic after he comes off stage.

19
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:08.519
The director said, whenever it comes
off work or anything else. So what

20
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.799
he wants to do, he wants
to cook for people. And by the

21
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.040
way, it was amazing. It
was the best barbecue we've had. There's

22
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.879
a cool video on the internet.
Soccer fans through Teddy bears onto the field.

23
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.959
These were in donation and support for
the children affected by the earthquakes in

24
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.760
Turkey. At the seventeen seconds of
the fourth minute of the match, which

25
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:32.159
corresponds to the time of the first
earthquake, supporters through stuffed animals, scarves,

26
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.760
and other toys onto the pitch,
all of which will be delivered to

27
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.959
children living in the earthquake hit areas. Some of the stuffed animals had cards

28
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.719
or notes attached on the outside.
The event was called this Toy is My

29
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.120
Friend. Other translations have suggested that
the title was this toy is for You

30
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.879
regardless. Good job by the fans
and a very powerful video. A spaniel

31
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.920
has a nose for sniffing out rats. The spaniel is the latest weapon in

32
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.239
the fight to protect seabird colonies off
the Welsh coast. Jinx is the UK's

33
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:06.120
first conservation detection dog. Jinks,
a three year old working Cocker Spaniel,

34
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:09.319
will not be directly responsible for tackling
any rats. Well that's good because you

35
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.840
know it's a spaniel. Let's put
a human in charge of these things.

36
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.360
But Jinks will detect them and then
it's up to you humans decide what to

37
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:21.840
do next. Jinks is trained to
identify rat scent. Emily Williams is a

38
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:25.680
senior marine policy officer, and Emily
says, if Jinks identifies the presence of

39
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:29.680
a rat, we could deal with
it really quickly. If we don't,

40
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.639
rats reproduce very quickly, you have
a serious problem. We deal with the

41
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:36.919
rats, he tells us. If
there are are any Hey, good news.

42
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.639
The results of the snowplow naming competition
in Madison, Wisconsin are in.

43
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.639
The winning salt truck will be named
Saltimus Prime. Good job. He will

44
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:53.800
have Medizine Saltimus Prime sixteen hundred thirty
votes. A smaller agile bike path plower

45
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:59.199
will be named snowbi Wan Kenobi,
the city's loader plow will be named Seymour

46
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:05.120
Pavement and the duel wing plow truck
will be named Dolly Ploughton. Think about

47
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.479
it, I know you did.

All right. About a year ago,

64
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:43.160
Priscilla got a Facebook friend request from
Ed. She hit the lete, who

65
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.600
does he think he is? I
don't want anything to do with him?

66
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.680
All right? I left out some
details. Priscilla's eighty three. This guy

67
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:53.199
Ed had setting her up on Facebook
sixty years ago. He called off their

68
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:57.199
engagement in a letter. She hadn't
spoken him since, Priscilla said, he

69
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.839
broke my heart. Well, good
news they got back together. He's eighty

70
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.879
five now. He proposed again,
and she said, yeah, so way

71
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:09.120
back in the day he had proposed
that he were negged on it. See,

72
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.879
he was a student at West Virginia
University and it's a few hours away

73
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.560
from Hagerstown, where she was living. They committed to a long distance relationship

74
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.120
and then he got cold feet.
He said, everything seemed financially troublesome.

75
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:21.759
He was afraid to start a life
with someone else, and he didn't to

76
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:26.959
get in many choices. Priscilla was
crushed. She remembers his opening the letter,

77
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.360
assuming it would be another sweet note
from her fiance, and she read

78
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.839
alone in her bedroom. She started
a cry and burned the letter and sold

79
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:38.120
her engagement ring and solved to move
on. Four months later, she met

80
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:41.399
Wally. They got married. They
had a son and daughter together. From

81
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.720
the son and daughter, four grandchildren
seven great grandchildren. Ed eventually got married

82
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.560
too in nineteen sixty eight. He
and wife Scotty had three children and five

83
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:54.199
grandchildren. Scotty passed away in twenty
twenty one. After his wife passed away,

84
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:56.519
he'd get on the phone with his
sisters. One of his sisters said,

85
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.800
Hey, remember Priscilla. She was
a special lady. ED said,

86
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:00.759
I that's the thinking about that.
I sent that letter to her, and

87
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.600
I probably heard her feelings more than
I ever knew or wanted. He felt

88
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:08.079
compelled to apologize. He tracked her
down. I didn't know how to find

89
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.000
her. I didn't know her married
name. He wound up on the Facebook

90
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:15.480
page for Saint Mark's Lutheran Church.
That's where they first met. He noticed

91
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.199
somebody by the name of Priscilla was
engaging with posts, and I wondered if

92
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.040
that was the Priscilla. Then I
knew. He figured out that it was.

93
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:25.240
He sent her a Facebook request.
She rejected it. Priscilla says,

94
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.600
he sent me two more messages on
Messenger and I just ignored him. Ed

95
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.800
called the church and asked the church's
administrative assistant to ask her to arrange for

96
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:35.879
a meeting. Priscilla said, tell
him I don't want to see him.

97
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.639
This is great, and then she
thought, the only way I'm gonna get

98
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.199
rid of this guy's to meet with
him and find out what he wants.

99
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.519
So on Easter they met up at
Panera bread. Ed started the conversation by

100
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.199
apologizing. Priscilla said, after all
these decades, she could accept his olive

101
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.319
branch. They chatted for two hours, and it kind of felt like old

102
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:57.360
times. Ed said, she's everybody's
beautiful now as she was. Then I

103
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.720
became obsessed with this lady, an
opportunity to do what I didn't sixty years

104
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.399
before. They started hanging out data
for a few months, and Priscilla sat

105
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:08.839
there for a few months. He
wore me down they got married in December

106
