0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. Hello Johnny Mack with five good news stories. This first one. As I was putting the script together on Monday, I had to actually make sure this is not an April fool's joke. This is real. Mike Tyson is selling a new cannabis product. What is it. It's an edible in the shape of nibbled ears. You may recall Mike Tyson bit off part of Evander Holyfield's ear during a fight nineteen ninety seven. I was watching that night and we were like, what just happened? So if you'd like to eat somebody's ear and stay out of the boxing ring. It comes in flavors including black eye, berry, sour, apple punch, and watermelon.
0:47 The article I'm sourcing from says not everyone in the cannabis industry is said to be enthused about the release of Tyson's product. A metal detectorist found the largest gold nugget ever found in England. Richard rock lucked out. He drove three and a half hours from his house for a group dig in the farms of the Hills. He was even an hour late. Then he showed up and his metal detector wasn't working. He had to break out an older, faulty machine. Twenty minutes into his dig, however, he literally struck gold. He dug up a sixty four point eight gram nugget. Now I'm an American, I have no idea what sixty four point eight grams is. Conversion time, Google helped me out zo point one four two pounds. The nugget was expected to fetch at least thirty thousand British pounds currency. Richard Brock said, I couldn't believe it. I turned up late, and it was only a matter of minutes, and this treasure hunting expedition was supposed to last all day.
1:40 The folks at the I Am Not a Typo campaign are asking tech giants to correct autocorrect in the name of equality. Apparently a lot of people's names are being called misspellings. I would like Apple to just accept that teh is not a word, and every time I type it. I probably shouldn't do the story because I'm going to butcher people's names. But I come in peace. Pretty pr it Ti is among the forty one percent names of babies born in recent years that are routinely flagged as errors. One writer named Drudy says my name is Drudy, dhr u t I not drew t d r u t ee dirty or even dorito, try not to laugh. And yet these are all words that my name has been changed to, often because of an autocorrect decision or a rushed message. My first name isn't even that long, only six characters, Yet when it comes up as an error or it's I'm still laughing at dorrito, I'm sorry. Did you hear me stumbling? It's because I'm giggling. My first name isn't even that long, only six characters, Yet when it comes up as an error or it's mangled or considered an unknown entity, it's like saying, it's not just your name that's wrong, but you are research behind me, I am not. A typo campaign found that almost fifty five hundred names given to boys and girls in England and Wales in twenty twenty one were flagged as typos. Another story out of the UK in the London Underground, comedian Ed Gamble I talked about this on my other podcast. I host a podcast called Dale Comedy News. I did this story over there. This is a lot of fun, right you're ready? Comedian Ed Gamble has been ordered to change a subway station poster campaign for his new stand up show because the image of a hot dog violated the rules on junk
3:12 food advertising. The poster for the show, which is called Hot Diggity Dog, showed a mustard and ketchup smeared Gamble beside a half eaten hot dog on a plate. The ad rules are intended to help curb obesity in children, so Gamble understood it. They took the hot dog out of the poster and replaced it with a cucumber. But Gamble says the new posters promote something way more harmful. They had the other cucumbers pairwell with ketchup and mustard. Congratulations to Pucksattoni Phil and his wife Pucksattani Phyllis. They are parents. The Pucksatoni Groundhog Club posted on Facebook that Phyllis gave birth to two healthy babies. They did not specify their sex or give names for either one. I say we name one of them Dorito, and someday Pucksatoni Dorito can take over for the Groundhog Day ceremony. Thomas Dunkle is the president of a tuxedo clad group called the Inner Circle that carries on the groundhog tradition each year. At a news conference, he said, we're pleased to announce that Bucks of Tony Phil has had his first children. We believe there are two baby groundhogs, and that Phil and Phyllis I've started a family. We're pleased about it. And I talked to Phil with my cane, which lets me speak roundhog ease, and Phil cannot be more excited that he started a family. And those are your five good news stories for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. You could share it on social media. That'd be kind of cool.
