00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.080
Kalaruga Shark Media. Hey Aaron Johnny Mack with five good

2
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.160
New Stories. Congratulations to the hoy Hoo, which has been

3
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:16.399
named New Zealand's Bird of the Year. It is the

4
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:19.199
second time the hoyho has been named Bird of the

5
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:22.160
Year in New Zealand. It previously secured the top spot

6
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:25.879
in twenty nineteen. Nicola is the chief executive of Forest

7
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:28.239
and Bird and said in a competition that was any

8
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:30.280
birds to win, they showed up with the goods to

9
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:34.399
capture hearts and minds across Aoceroa. The group that was

10
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:37.240
supporting the hoy Hoo put a lot of effort into

11
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:39.799
this thing, and they included a museum, a rugby team,

12
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.280
and a brewery that celebrated the people's penguin with a

13
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.840
special drink. The runner up bird was the Carure, which

14
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.359
was represented by a university student organization and promoted with

15
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:52.600
bird costumes and memes. Nicola pointed out it's a good

16
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.759
time for the hoy Hoo to be named bird of

17
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.320
the year. They've seen their population dip eighty percent within

18
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:00.880
fifteen years. Yikes, Nicola says, hoyo or being hammered from

19
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.480
all angles. They suffer from horrible diseases like diphtheria, and

20
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:08.200
they get attacked by dogs. Jane Goodall, Yes, Jane's Goodall

21
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.000
was also backing the hoy Ho. Now, last year, you

22
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.159
may recall John Oliver got involved with this thing. He

23
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.719
did an elaborate campaign to get the phu tike tik a.

24
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:20.359
Not sure I got that right, but anyway, that bird

25
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:23.799
was the bird of the century. Good news if you're

26
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.920
in Beaver Creek, Ohio. Officials say there is not an

27
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.959
alligator on the loose at a local park despite the

28
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:35.359
reported sighting. Police received a report of a potential alligator

29
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:39.120
sighting at Dominic Lafino Park. A teenage witness had snapped

30
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:43.079
photos of the supposed alligator. Mom posted the pictures to

31
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.280
social media and said, he sent me pictures. It said

32
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:47.079
that looks like an alligator. You need to get it

33
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.200
off the bank or wherever you're at and call the police.

34
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.200
She did. The police got involved, they conducted an investigation.

35
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.799
The police are now saying there is no gator on

36
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:58.840
the use and added additionally, no further sightings have been

37
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.719
reported to the police or city staff. Despite an increase

38
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:04.799
in visitors to the park based on these findings, officials

39
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.599
believe there is no alligator in the pond. Are you

40
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.639
familiar with Floaky the Dog? I love Floaky the Dog.

41
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.360
Flokey is really good at foot volley, which is a

42
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.680
combination of soccer and beach volleyball. Just picture beach volleyball,

43
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.439
except you play with your feet, unless you're a border collie,

44
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.120
in which case you play with your nose. In foot volley,

45
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.879
players are forbidden from using hands and arms. Flokey jumps

46
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:27.800
up from the sand to drive the ball with his mouth.

47
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.360
His human friend says he does things that even some

48
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.000
professionals don't like positioning on the court. Sometimes the ball

49
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:34.439
comes from one side of the court to the other,

50
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:36.319
and he doesn't keep his back turning way. He turns

51
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.840
towards the ball to always hit it straight on. I

52
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.360
could use Flokey on my beach volleyball team. I don't

53
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.599
think we won a game all of twenty twenty four.

54
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:47.039
We may have won one game in April, I no joke,

55
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.520
can't remember. I can tell you for sure. In the

56
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.800
two summer sessions we did not win. We may have

57
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.080
won a game in the spring. Floaky, I need you.

58
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:57.560
A turkish Man has his third Guinness world record. He

59
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.800
sank a blindfolded hook shot from six sixty five feet

60
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.280
seven inches away. Osman beat the previous record for farthest

61
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.439
blindfolded basketball hook shot. That record was sixty feet. Osman

62
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.000
also holds the record for furthest behind the backboard basketball shot,

63
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.319
that record thirty six feet one point zero seven inches,

64
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.759
and the farthest basketball bound shot, which of course is

65
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.280
ninety eight feet five inches. But you knew that, Osman said.

66
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.680
Since I was young, I've been interested in trick shots,

67
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.400
like the longest distant shot, and it was my dream

68
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.400
to break a world record like this. All right, good news.

69
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.840
We figured out how the suv got on top of

70
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.319
the dumpster. Scott said he was on his way to

71
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.879
the store and he saw an suv on top of

72
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.240
a dumpster in Fort Myers. He told the local TV

73
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:41.879
I had to do a double take. I texted my buddy,

74
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:43.719
I'm like, is that fair? Game? Is that free? It's

75
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.960
in the dumpster. It turned out the suv had been

76
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.599
put on the dumpster by a forklift operated by a

77
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:53.719
construction worker who was doing some construction. The construction worker said,

78
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.159
sometimes when you park when you're not supposed to. This

79
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.039
is what happens, don't mess with that guy, and that's

80
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.560
