I hope mom didn't toss your Boba Fett

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.759
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there,
I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories.

2
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:14.960
Happy birthday to Nicki. Nicki turned
thirty seven. All right, why

3
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:17.640
is that good news? John?
I mean, why you don't like Nicki.

4
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:22.399
Nicky's a mandrill monkey who lives at
the Phoenix Zoo and has been confirmed

5
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:27.359
as the oldest mandrill monkey in the
world. Nicki was born at the Oregon

6
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.239
Zoo on January thirteenth, nineteen eighty
seven, and has lived in Phoenix the

7
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:33.399
last six years. Like anybody else, you get old, you want to

8
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.119
get out of the cold weather.
You moved to Phoenix right. Zoo officials

9
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:40.600
told Guinness that Nicki is more than
twice the eighteen point three year median life

10
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:45.079
expectancy of a mandrill. Nicki's half
sister, Victoria, lived to be thirty

11
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:51.039
five before passing away in April of
twenty twenty two. Nicky's caretaker explains that

12
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.759
my joke was on target. The
caretaker, who is not named, says,

13
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.679
I think it helps not having harsh
winters, as the cold is hard

14
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.439
on the joints. Her manjuil companions
are also very late. She's adopted a

15
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.079
good routine the oldest managel on record
was a female who was confirmed to be

16
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:08.120
forty back in two thousand and four. Jim Baker wanted to have a family.

17
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:12.840
She was diagnosed with endometriosis in twenty
seventeen that cut down her chances of

18
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:18.239
conception. She was given only a
fifteen percent chance of conceiving a baby naturally.

19
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:23.079
Strangers donated thirteen thousand dollars for her
to undergo IVF. She said,

20
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:25.920
my chances were slim. I hit
a brick wall. It's soul destroying.

21
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.000
Jim's friend Jen set up a fundraising
page to help pay for the IVF.

22
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:36.200
This story ends well. Little baby
clover Iris entered the world seven pounds eight

23
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.799
ounces. Jim said, I wasn't
incredibly fussy with sperm donors, but I

24
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.239
have a thing for redhead guys and
managed to get one. He's a baker

25
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.560
and does charity work. He sounded
grounded. The baby looks like me and

26
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.560
my dad. Mike Boland puts on
a one man show. He also puts

27
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.000
on a one hand show. Mike
has found ways to make light of his

28
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.079
limb difference throughout his life. Last
month, he took the stage at the

29
00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:00.000
Herberger Theater in Phoenix to share more
about his life. He said, no

30
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.159
problems having one hand. It's something
I can't imagine having two hands. As

31
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.760
I say, sometimes I don't know
how you people walk around with those two

32
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:07.560
things. It's not something I'm used
to. My mom and dad were very

33
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.439
supportive and they never gave me a
break. Because I had one hand,

34
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.319
I was expected to do everything that
my brother and sister were expected to do.

35
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.400
As a teenager, he took up
bowling and says I won my first

36
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:21.240
state bowling title by the time I
was sixteen. By the time I was

37
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.800
twenty one or twenty two, I
was able to earn my PBA card and

38
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.400
bowl on the Pro Bowler's Tour and
be the first person with lim loss to

39
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.159
do that. I don't bowl at
all anymore. What I do now is

40
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.840
I volunteer for the Arizona Disabled Sports. They have a bowling program, and

41
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:37.680
I think I have more fun volunteering
for the program at Arizona Disabled Sports than

42
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.159
I ever did on tour. He
also hosts a podcast called We Are Not

43
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:46.719
Stumped. Congratulations to Luke and his
father Mike. They have set the world

44
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:52.919
record for world's fastest drone with an
average top speed of two hundred and ninety

45
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:54.840
eight point four seven miles per hour. We got to get this thing to

46
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.840
three hundred guys, let's try this
again. The drone is called the quad

47
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.039
Copper Peregrine two, replacing the quad
Coppter Peregrine one, which had reached two

48
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.759
hundred and forty seven miles per hour. The drone is three D printed carbon

49
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:12.719
fiber, battery operated and remote controlled. To get to the record, they

50
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.639
flew the drone in two runs in
opposite directions, demonstrating its ability to navigate

51
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:21.120
tailwinds and headwinds. They clocked an
actual top speed of three hundred and seventeen

52
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.560
miles per hour and an average of
two ninety eight point four to seven.

53
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.159
And I hope your mom didn't throw
out your Star Wars figures because an extremely

54
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:32.639
rare Boba Fet figure was auctioned for
five hundred and twenty five thousand dollars.

55
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:38.159
Heritage Auctions said the action figures now
the world's most valuable vintage choy, breaking

56
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:42.639
the record from a barbie bearing a
one carrot diamond that sold for three hundred

57
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.560
and two grand and twenty ten.
This Boba Fet is hand painted and fires

58
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:51.199
the rockets. Remember when we all
got Boba Fet, we didn't. Boba

59
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.479
Fet figures came out before Boba Fet
was even in the movies, and we

60
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.479
got these and he had this cool
rocket and it was like, oh,

61
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.879
that's neat. But there were prototypes
where the rocket at actually fired. If

62
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:02.159
you're old enough, you remember the
seventies there were a bunch of toys that

63
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.800
had firing rockets, and then kids
were swallowing the rockets and bad things happened,

64
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.639
so then they stopped with all the
rocket firing. Well, this is

65
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.439
only one of two surviving examples made
for Kenner as a line of Star Wars

66
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:17.360
toys in the seventies. Auctions Executive
vice president Joe Maddalena said, the rocket

67
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:21.120
firing Boba Fett action figure from long
ago became such a mythic icon that people

68
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:24.879
worldwide know about it, even if
they don't collect anything at all. We

69
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.519
knew this one had a chance to
enter the record books, and it was

70
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.160
thrilling to see it become the most
valuable toy in the world. A different

71
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.160
Boba Fet, released in seventy nine, sold for eighty four three hundred and

72
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.680
seventy five dollars in the auction.
That figure was still sealed in its original

73
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.399
packing. I mean, yeah,
I get it. I'd like to have

74
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.519
eighty four thousand, But I also
got to play with Boba fet for forty

75
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.279
years. You know what I'm saying. Sometimes you got to take things out

76
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.439
of the case. And those are
your five good news stories. If you

77
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.560
would like this program add free,
what you can do is look in the

78
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:57.000
