Nature Festival Dress Code Requires Clothes, the Unicycle Granny and the Sexy Priest Calendar
Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: Organizers of England’s Cumbria Nature Festival clarified on social media that it’s for naturalists, not naturists, asking attendees to dress appropriately and offering genuine refunds to anyone expecting a nudist event, though none have been needed. In Durham County, North Carolina, the sheriff’s office warned residents about a very large pig on the loose, urging people to report sightings but not attempt capture, and noting the owner is unknown. A long-running Quebec study of northern gannet eggs found levels of “forever chemicals” have dropped dramatically from a 1990s peak. Linda, 69, was confirmed by Guinness as the world’s oldest unicycle rider, extending a record she first set in 2023. Finally, Italy’s “Sexy Priest Calendar” cover model Giovanni, featured for many years, revealed he is not a priest.

0:03 Callarogashark Media. I'm sorry, I'm late there. I'm jutting back with five good news stories. It's just distracted thinking about this first story. The organizers of the Cumbria Nature Festival in England, that's right. The Nature Festival felt the need to let everyone know that the Nature Festival is not a nudist festival. At least one prospective visitor had asked about the details, festival organizers posted on social media. Cumbria Nature Festival is primarily aimed at naturalists, not naturists. While we aim to be as inclusive as possible and certainly do not judge anyone, we are aiming the event at wildlife enthusiasts. Please do dress appropriately. They offered a free refund to anyone who is hoping to come naked. Damn is one of the organizers. He told the BBC the whole thing sounds funny, but the offered or refund is genuine, he said. We have an alter had to refund anyone, so we're hopeful our offering has been sufficient to retain their interest. Despite composing a Driss code just to keep everything straight here, Naturalists study nature. Naturists prefer nature without clothing.
1:12 The Durham County Sheriff's Office in North Carolina has a situation they are handling it. There is a very large pig on the loose. The pig was spotted on Mason Road and Durham County police showed up. They didn't see the pig. The Sheriff's office took to social media to lert the public. They described the pig as the new heavyweight champion and their hem ambassador. Boy, these police departments love doing these things. But they clarified, he's a really big pig. We're talking absolute unit status. He's living his best life on the lamb, but would like to get him somewhere safe before he decides to move into someone's backyard. Residents are asked to report any sightings of the very large pig, but do not attempt to capture the very large pig. Also, the pig's owner has not yet been identified.
1:58 A little more serious forever her chemicals are down, this is good news. Scientists have been studying the eggs of northern gannets. Those are large seabirds on the coast of Quebec. They've been collecting data for fifty five years, and a new study found that levels are so called forever chemicals in eggs have dropped dramatically. Forever chemicals don't break down in the environment. They accumulate. They get into the water, into the fish, into the birds that eat the fish, and then into the eggs. The good news to see that those levels are down from a peak in the nineteen nineties. Congratulations to Linda. She is the unicycle granny. At sixty nine years old, she's been confirmed by Guinness as the oldest unicycle writer in the world. She started riding a unicycle at age ten never stopped. When she went to Florida State University, she performed in the flying Circus program there that led to a circus career and eventually work as a Hollywood stunt performer. These days, she performs in regional and community theater productions. Now, what's even more interesting, this is not the first time she held the record. She first earned the title of world's oldest unicycle right her back in January of twenty twenty three, when she was sixty six and two hundred and thirty four days old, and she's now extended the record to sixty nine one eighty nine And as this article points out, she keeps getting older and keeps setting the record further and further. How can you catch her? She told Guinness, Start very young and never stop. And some shocking news out of Italy. Have you been to Rome? Have you seen the calendar with like the handsome priests on it.
3:27 If you've been to Rome and you've walked around the touristy areas, you have seen this thing. Well, we have found out that the handsome men in priestly at Sire might not be priests. I know this isn't exactly good news, John, I'm sorry. Gavanni has been the cover shot for the so called Sexy Priest Calendar for many of the last twenty three editions. Now, the day that I'm recording this story, my daughter happens to be in Rome. I sent her the story and she sent me back a picture of the calendar. So this is still a thing. She sent me back a picture of the exact guy I'm talking about, Javona on the cover. Giovanni wears a clerical collar and flashes a smile. He said he was seventeen years old when friends put him in touch with the photographer. The whole thing was a lark. Giovanni is now thirty nine and is not a priest. Those are your five good news stories for today. Have a great day.
