More jobs for Seagull Scarers!
A 90 year old woman went out for a ride on a Harley.
A zoo needs a Seagull Scarer team. Maybe they should hire the guy from the previous episode.

1
00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:08.800
The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack
with five good news stories. Good news
2
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.359
if you're just trying to eat your
fish and chips by the seashore in peace.
3
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:17.320
They've hired somebody to scare away those
stupid seagulls. Corey makes like two
4
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:21.640
hundred and fifty dollars a day chasing
away seagulls. The seagulls will come down
5
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:25.280
and steal chips from people's trees.
But the seagulls are having none of this.
6
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.960
They've been taking revenge on poor Corey
by leaving splotches on his car.
7
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.439
Every day, he dresses up in
a seagull costume, which looks like,
8
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.439
say, a baseball mascot of a
seagull. He says, people love it.
9
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:39.920
They approached me asking for pictures and
whatnot. I feel like a bit
10
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.840
of celebrity. I just charge at
the seagulls when I see them. I
11
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.039
also have to look out for them
getting near people, and when they do,
12
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:47.600
I run at them get them away. I've had goals hit me on
13
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.439
the side of the face with their
wings. They'll come down, they'll take
14
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:52.640
your food. They do it so
quickly you don't even expect it. It's
15
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:56.799
quite frightening, especially for the older
generation if they're walking alongside having some chips
16
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.439
and at the moment they won't leave
my car alone. I clean it every
17
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.719
day. When I'm back, it's
covered in seagull poop. He starts work
18
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:06.200
at six am. One day he
made like eighty bucks and tips. It
19
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:08.159
was a wedding party and there was
seagulls all over trying to get to the
20
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.640
people. I went over and did
my job and they said thanks for doing
21
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.040
that looking after us. There maybe
about fifty people. The shop owner said,
22
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.640
it took me so long to realize
what we needed. A live descent.
23
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.079
If you spend some money every hour
to keep the customers safe in the
24
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:25.760
seagulls away, it's good for the
shop. Congratulations to ninety three year old
25
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:30.640
Joy Ryan. She has visited all
sixty three national parks, calling it the
26
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.599
greatest privilege of my life. Joy
and her grandson Brad started doing this back
27
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:40.239
in twenty fifteen and they visited Great
Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. They
28
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:42.719
recently finished when they made it all
the way to the South Pacific to American
29
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.519
Samoa See. I wouldn't have even
thought about doing that. I would have
30
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.040
stayed to the probably the lower forty
eight. Maybe you remember the other two
31
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.680
states. It wouldn't have occurred to
me to go to American Samoa. Wow,
32
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.599
Brad sold, good morning America.
We departed from our hometown in Ohio
33
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.719
at three am on Saturday. We
took a two day break in o Wahoop
34
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:04.000
before boarding our final flights to Pago
Pago, American Samoa. Three flights and
35
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:08.800
nearly seventeen flying hours. You can
follow their insta at Grandma Joy's road trip.
36
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.319
Brad said, they're not done.
They're going to take this thing international.
37
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.800
They're going to go to Kenya on
a National Geographic Organized expedition as the
38
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:21.439
first stop on a mission a touch
all seven continents. One of those continents
39
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:27.000
is Australia. Terrible Segue Johnny Back. Marine biologists are restoring populations of seahorses
40
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:31.039
off Australia's East coast. A generation
ago, divers might have seen two dozen
41
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:36.360
white sea horses at a time off
Sydney Harbor, but coastal development and boat
42
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:40.479
moorings have disrupted the habitat of the
cool seahorses. Sydney Aquarium has a successful
43
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:46.120
breeding program after they hatch they're taking
to the refugees and lowered down into their
44
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.599
hotels. The hotels, or essentially
cages, meant for much larger animals,
45
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.039
they create plenty of nooks and crannies
that serve as a habit for the seahorses.
46
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.599
Good news if you want to own
a lighthouse. Apparently, the US
47
00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:00.039
government rarely sells off lighthouses to nonprofits
interested in conservation. However, if no
48
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.599
buyers come up, they auction them
off to the public at prices ranging from
49
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:08.680
ten grand not beet nearly one million
dollars little warning, though its total restoration
50
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:13.120
could be thousands of dollars, while
a simple cleaning is much less. New
51
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.120
owners of lighthouses should expect to have
to paint, clean, and possibly restore
52
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:21.400
broken or missing items. Most lighthouses
do not have any utilities, so it'd
53
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.960
be a cost associated with making the
lighthouse livable. This year's six lighthouses are
54
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:30.319
being placed on the notice of availability
and four are going direct to public auction.
55
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:38.280
Get your Lighthouse Now. I am
Patty Callahan, Henry, I am
56
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:44.199
Mary kay Andrews, I'm Kristin Harmel, and I'm Kristy Woodson Harvey. Friends
57
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.240
of Fiction is led by four long
time friends. The four of us with
58
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:53.639
more than seventy five published books between
us. Through end depth conversations and interviews,
59
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.080
we discussed the books we've written,
the books we're reading, and the
60
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:01.120
art of storytelling. We are here
with endless stories to support indie bookstores,
61
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:08.639
authors, librarians and readers just like
you. We are always seeking innovative ways
62
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:13.400
to introduce dynamic voices and trends in
publishing. On this channel, you will
63
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.199
find hundreds of episodes with some of
your favorite authors, including the four of
64
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:20.439
us with our new releases. As
we reveal the stories behind the stories,
65
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:26.199
offer writing tips and talk about the
creation of novels, memoirs, and nonfiction
66
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:30.360
titles. So if you love books
and you're curious about the writing world,
67
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:35.120
you are in the right place.
You can listen to Friends and Fiction on
68
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:46.240
any major streaming platform. Hey,
good news for Kate. We figured out
69
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.680
where your husband's been going. You
see, Kate was walking her dog,
70
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:54.279
Grinson, around the city center and
then the dog tried to make his way
71
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:58.160
inside the sports pub of the standoff, Kate tried to pull the dog and
72
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.879
the dog wouldn't budge. People on
TikTok found this funny and said if the
73
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.079
dog stops at the betting shop,
they'll be hell to pay. Another said,
74
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.720
well, now we know where your
other half says when they're going for
75
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:11.519
a long walk, this is the
real destination. Kate said, he's never
76
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.600
actually been inside that pub to my
knowledge. If my husband was taking him
77
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.439
with a pub secretly, that'd be
quite funny. He does go in other
78
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.439
pubs. She thinks the dog probably
just wants the attention to food and just
79
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:24.720
loves social places. He's just a
sociable dog. He loves people. He's
80
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.240
stubborn and anyone who has in Airdale
would say the same. They have a
81
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.519
mind of their own, are very
willful. The owners of the standoff have
82
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.360
promised Kate a free dinner and if
Kate takes Grintson the dog there for real,
83
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.920
he can get a juicy steak.

good news for Kate. We figured out
69
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.680
where your husband's been going. You
see, Kate was walking her dog,
70
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:54.279
Grinson, around the city center and
then the dog tried to make his way
71
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:58.160
inside the sports pub of the standoff, Kate tried to pull the dog and
72
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.879
the dog wouldn't budge. People on
TikTok found this funny and said if the
73
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.079
dog stops at the betting shop,
they'll be hell to pay. Another said,
74
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.720
well, now we know where your
other half says when they're going for
75
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:11.519
a long walk, this is the
real destination. Kate said, he's never
76
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.600
actually been inside that pub to my
knowledge. If my husband was taking him
77
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.439
with a pub secretly, that'd be
quite funny. He does go in other
78
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.439
pubs. She thinks the dog probably
just wants the attention to food and just
79
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:24.720
loves social places. He's just a
sociable dog. He loves people. He's
80
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.240
stubborn and anyone who has in Airdale
would say the same. They have a
81
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.519
mind of their own, are very
willful. The owners of the standoff have
82
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.360
promised Kate a free dinner and if
Kate takes Grintson the dog there for real,
83
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.920
he can get a juicy steak.
