Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Johnny Mack with five good news stories.

2
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:18.800
Recently, it was the Florida Man
Games, described as the most insane athletic

3
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:22.719
showdown on Earth. The event kicked
off with the Star Spangled banner played on

4
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:28.640
electric guitar. Then some spectator sipped
canned beers and frequently shouted expletives as a

5
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:34.280
dozen teams battled in contests inspired by
real events from Florida. James won the

6
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:38.000
first event, which was wolfing down
a plate loaded with barbecue, pork and

7
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:41.600
sausage. He chugged a beer to
celebrate. He gave a great quote.

8
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:45.560
He said, they're calling these events, I'm calling this Tuesday afternoon. Another

9
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:50.679
event dueling in muddy water in an
inflatable pool, pummeling each other with weapons

10
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:55.439
made from pool noodles and duct tape. Another was a theft simulation relay,

11
00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:00.119
in which competitors raced with bicycles,
copper pipes, and catalytic converters. Larry

12
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.719
trained for the relay race by riding
a bike around his neighborhood with a second

13
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:08.719
bike strapped to his back. More
events wrestling sumo style while holding pictures of

14
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:15.040
beer, running from an actual Sheriff's
deputy while jumping fits and avoiding obstacles.

15
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:21.920
Another event grabbing cash, flying around
and simulated hurricane wins. Joshua Bar was

16
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.120
on Team Cooter Commandos. They worked
on getting fan support for the Cooter Commandos

17
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.480
with Facebook posts showing the team chugging
paps, blue ribbon beer, jogging in

18
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.159
jean shorts and mirrored sunglasses. Barr
said, we might be taking it more

19
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.760
seriously than most people. You just
can't have to be part of the joke

20
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:41.519
at this point. So much fun. Nice job by Ari's the three year

21
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:46.079
old dog. The dog with its
owners was in a car accident and ran

22
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.799
to the one place she knew to
get help, Doggie Daycare. Doggy Daycare

23
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.239
was about a mile away from the
crash, according to the local TV station.

24
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.480
The dog's owner said no one was
injured and there was minor damage to

25
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.359
the vehicle. But nice job there, Doggie A Psycho. Thanks for the

26
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:05.079
great American total solar eclipse on April
eighth, I am the last one,

27
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.520
like five years ago. I went
to Nashville where it was a beautiful sunny

28
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.680
day. I had rented a car
just in case the weather was bad.

29
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:15.000
There wasn't a cloud all morning,
and right as the moon blocked the sun,

30
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.120
there was one cloud. It sounds
like I'm making it up, but

31
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.159
I lost hard. I had a
friend across town it was like, oh,

32
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:23.759
clips was amazing. I was like, yeah, I had the one

33
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.840
cloud. A local and I was
standing there watching doing mental math. It's

34
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.680
like three minutes before the eclipse.
We're watching this one cloud and we're both

35
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.400
doing the calculations. We're like,
we're hosed, right, yep, but

36
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.280
there's nothing to be done. So
I'm looking forward to this one. You'll

37
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:38.680
be able to see it in Mexico, Texas, all the way up to

38
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:44.000
Maine in the US, Ontario and
the maritime provinces in Canada. Aki Weather

39
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:49.199
has released its initial forecast for the
event. According to them, southern Texas

40
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:53.080
and areas of the Ohio Valley in
the Great Lakes should have clear weather.

41
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:57.520
Again, weather forecast can change.
Don't take this as gospel. With the

42
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.039
northeast, where I am facing the
highest risk of cloudy conditions, that would

43
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:05.759
make me so sad. Maki Weather
tells us there's a good possibility the cold

44
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.120
front will be moving across central and
eastern US near the time of the eclipse

45
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:13.719
that could influence cloud coverage. I'm
getting up that morning and I'm driving eight

46
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:15.960
hours in some direction. I'm on
a mission to see this thing. Good

47
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:20.759
news. In New England, a
survey team cited a great whale off the

48
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.680
New England coast recently. Why is
that interesting, Johnny mack Well, the

49
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:27.879
great whale has been extinct in the
Atlantic for more than two hundred years.

50
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:32.120
What. Yeah, The aquarium scientists
were flying and they spotted a grey whale.

51
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:36.120
They circle around for forty five minutes
to be like, is that a

52
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.560
great whall? Yeah, I think
that's a great whale. It's a great

53
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:44.159
whale. Orlo O'Brien is an associate
research scientist at the Anderson Cabot Center for

54
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.039
Ocean Life at the New England Aquarium. Worli said, I didn't want to

55
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:51.680
say out loud what it was because
it seemed crazy. Gray whales are regularly

56
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.599
found in the North Pacific, and
you can tell it's a grey whale because

57
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:59.000
it doesn't have a dorsal fin.
It has motted gray and white skin and

58
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:03.439
a dorsal hump followed by pronounced ridges. Obviously, aquarium scientists believe this gray

59
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.919
well is the same gray whale that
was spotted in Florida late last year,

60
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:15.039
possibly participating in the Florida Man Games. The Washington Post says writings from seventeen

61
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.079
to twenty nine was the last time
a grey whale was sighted in the area.

62
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:24.639
That is nuts good news. Kevin
Bacon is back home. No,

63
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.560
not that guy. This is a
pig named Kevin Bacon. Now, I

64
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:30.759
feel like I've spoken about a pig
named Kevin Bacon before. I'm not sure

65
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.800
if this is the same Kevin Bacon
or if you have a pig that's just

66
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:39.720
what you'd name it. Anyway.
A Wisconsin homeowner helped lure Kevin Bacon the

67
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:44.199
pig back home with a trail of
oreos. Kevin Bacon the pig four hundred

68
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:48.199
and fifty pounds had escaped, and
this pig is crafty. It waited till

69
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:51.199
the owner had left town for the
weekend. Kevin Bacon the pig made it

70
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:55.279
a mile down the road. A
guy named Jake said, my wife spot

71
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:59.079
it an unusual shaped figure in our
driveway camera, walking along our garage.

72
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.319
My wife start feeding him right away. That's what she does with any animal

73
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.920
that comes in our backyard. Apparently, Kevin Bacon the Pig had some apples,

74
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.399
rice cakes, tomatoes, carrots,
and they had to figure out whose

75
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:14.120
pig is this. Magically, a
friend of theirs recognized Kevin Bacon the Pig

76
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.360
and told them who the owner was. The owner asked the family could they

77
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:21.720
lure Kevin Bacon the Pig back to
the property, suggesting this could be easily

78
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:27.959
accomplished by offering the pig some cookies, marshmallows, and other sweets. Deputies

79
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:31.000
from the Sheriff's department got involved in
this. It worked. It took two

80
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.120
and a half hours, but it
worked. That's your five good news stories

81
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:38.879
for today. If you enjoy the
program, tell a friend about it.

82
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.319
They might like it too. You
could share the program on social media.

83
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.000
You can give five stars on Apple
Podcasts. Oh and I keep forgetting to

84
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:47.680
do this. I also host a
podcast seven days a week. It's called

85
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.920
Daily Comedy News Vibes, kind of
similar to this. I keep it clean,

86
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.480
but we talk about what the stand
up comedians are up to. Give

87
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.720
it a shot. It's probably more
interesting than you think. You might be

88
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.120
like, I don't care about stand
up comedy. It's more a vibe.

89
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.839
You'll see check it out Daily Comedy
News. Wherever you get your shows,
