00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.160
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello Johnny Mack
with five good news stories. This first
2
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.160
one. As I was putting the
script together on Monday, I had to
3
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:17.960
actually make sure this is not an
April fool's joke. This is real.
4
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:23.519
Mike Tyson is selling a new cannabis
product. What is it. It's an
5
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:29.079
edible in the shape of nibbled ears. You may recall Mike Tyson bit off
6
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:33.640
part of Evander Holyfield's ear during a
fight nineteen ninety seven. I was watching
7
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:37.039
that night and we were like,
what just happened? So if you'd like
8
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:41.000
to eat somebody's ear and stay out
of the boxing ring. It comes in
9
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:45.280
flavors including black eye, berry,
sour, apple punch, and watermelon.
10
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:51.280
The article I'm sourcing from says not
everyone in the cannabis industry is said to
11
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:56.840
be enthused about the release of Tyson's
product. A metal detectorist found the largest
12
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.880
gold nugget ever found in England.
Richard rock lucked out. He drove three
13
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.920
and a half hours from his house
for a group dig in the farms of
14
00:01:03.959 --> 00:01:07.400
the Hills. He was even an
hour late. Then he showed up and
15
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.400
his metal detector wasn't working. He
had to break out an older, faulty
16
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:17.640
machine. Twenty minutes into his dig, however, he literally struck gold.
17
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.760
He dug up a sixty four point
eight gram nugget. Now I'm an American,
18
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:25.560
I have no idea what sixty four
point eight grams is. Conversion time,
19
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:30.000
Google helped me out zo point one
four two pounds. The nugget was
20
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.319
expected to fetch at least thirty thousand
British pounds currency. Richard Brock said,
21
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:36.400
I couldn't believe it. I turned
up late, and it was only a
22
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:38.719
matter of minutes, and this treasure
hunting expedition was supposed to last all day.
23
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:44.879
The folks at the I Am Not
a Typo campaign are asking tech giants
24
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.079
to correct autocorrect in the name of
equality. Apparently a lot of people's names
25
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.519
are being called misspellings. I would
like Apple to just accept that teh is
26
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.280
not a word, and every time
I type it. I probably shouldn't do
27
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.959
the story because I'm going to butcher
people's names. But I come in peace.
28
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:05.319
Pretty pr it Ti is among the
forty one percent names of babies born
29
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.879
in recent years that are routinely flagged
as errors. One writer named Drudy says
30
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:13.879
my name is Drudy, dhr u
t I not drew t d r u
31
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:19.759
t ee dirty or even dorito,
try not to laugh. And yet these
32
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.479
are all words that my name has
been changed to, often because of an
33
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.000
autocorrect decision or a rushed message.
My first name isn't even that long,
34
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.319
only six characters, Yet when it
comes up as an error or it's I'm
35
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.639
still laughing at dorrito, I'm sorry. Did you hear me stumbling? It's
36
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:36.919
because I'm giggling. My first name
isn't even that long, only six characters,
37
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.360
Yet when it comes up as an
error or it's mangled or considered an
38
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.159
unknown entity, it's like saying,
it's not just your name that's wrong,
39
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:46.520
but you are research behind me,
I am not. A typo campaign found
40
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.639
that almost fifty five hundred names given
to boys and girls in England and Wales
41
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.520
in twenty twenty one were flagged as
typos. Another story out of the UK
42
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:58.319
in the London Underground, comedian Ed
Gamble I talked about this on my other
43
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.280
podcast. I host a podcast called
Dale Comedy News. I did this story
44
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.719
over there. This is a lot
of fun, right you're ready? Comedian
45
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.879
Ed Gamble has been ordered to change
a subway station poster campaign for his new
46
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.680
stand up show because the image of
a hot dog violated the rules on junk
47
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:16.280
food advertising. The poster for the
show, which is called Hot Diggity Dog,
48
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:22.319
showed a mustard and ketchup smeared Gamble
beside a half eaten hot dog on
49
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.000
a plate. The ad rules are
intended to help curb obesity in children,
50
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:30.039
so Gamble understood it. They took
the hot dog out of the poster and
51
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.879
replaced it with a cucumber. But
Gamble says the new posters promote something way
52
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:38.199
more harmful. They had the other
cucumbers pairwell with ketchup and mustard. Congratulations
53
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:45.599
to Pucksattoni Phil and his wife Pucksattani
Phyllis. They are parents. The Pucksatoni
54
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:50.919
Groundhog Club posted on Facebook that Phyllis
gave birth to two healthy babies. They
55
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.560
did not specify their sex or give
names for either one. I say we
56
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:59.280
name one of them Dorito, and
someday Pucksatoni Dorito can take over for the
57
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:03.919
Groundhog Day ceremony. Thomas Dunkle is
the president of a tuxedo clad group called
58
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:08.560
the Inner Circle that carries on the
groundhog tradition each year. At a news
59
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.719
conference, he said, we're pleased
to announce that Bucks of Tony Phil has
60
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.719
had his first children. We believe
there are two baby groundhogs, and that
61
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.199
Phil and Phyllis I've started a family. We're pleased about it. And I
62
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.519
talked to Phil with my cane,
which lets me speak roundhog ease, and
63
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:25.079
Phil cannot be more excited that he
started a family. And those are your
64
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.240
five good news stories for today.
If you enjoy the program, tell a
65
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.120
friend about it. They might like
it too. You could share it on
66
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:31.800
social media. That'd be kind of
cool. All I'd see next time
