00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.800
Caloroga Shark Media be there of Johnny Mack with five

2
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:13.839
good News stories? Did you enjoy five good news Halloween

3
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:16.239
stories yesterday? I had a ball doing it. I hope

4
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:18.359
you enjoy that. I've actually recorded a few of them.

5
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:21.839
They're a lot of fun to do. And elementary school

6
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.440
teacher in Australia has her head in the clouds after

7
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.480
a proposal from her fiance okay, what happened here? Will

8
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.199
took staff up in a plane and popped the question,

9
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.840
hoping a ten thousand foot view of their relationship would

10
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:37.759
be the winning formula to capture her heart. She told

11
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:39.920
the local news. I thought it'd propose suit, but I

12
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.399
wasn't expecting to do it that way. Oh there's more

13
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:44.399
to this. See he is a farmer. So what he

14
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:47.320
did was he spaced out twelve meter long rows to

15
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.159
form each letter, mark them out in a GPS file

16
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.159
and use that as a guide in his air powered

17
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:57.240
seed spreader. Said the E didn't come out so good,

18
00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:59.079
so he had to redo that by hand. A couple

19
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:02.119
weeks later. Fiancee usually wants to come out on a

20
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:03.920
crop tour and I had to say no, which I

21
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.959
didn't like too much. Anyway, there they are in the

22
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:09.879
plane and guess what it's spelled out in the canola.

23
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.239
That's right, marry me. Nice job there, Let's keep it

24
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.079
in the form. In Maine, a family farm that honors

25
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.719
children's books in local history has once again taken the

26
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.760
prize for the nation's best corn maze. I probably get

27
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.000
a squeeze this in a five Good News Halloween stories,

28
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.959
couldn't I Tree Orgy Orchards has won for the fourth

29
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.640
year in a row in a competition that measures unique

30
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.879
and expressive corn mazes. This one is a carve out

31
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:39.120
of a fisherman. The inspiration of this year's design are

32
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:43.200
the two most important industries in Maine, farmers and fishermen.

33
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:45.840
Those are represented on the state flag. By the way.

34
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.680
They've also won in the past with designs from Peter

35
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.640
Rabbit and Winnie the Pooh. I'm happy with just a

36
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.040
regular corn maze. In fact, maybe I'll do that Saturday.

37
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:57.480
Congratulations to an orchard in Virginia. They have captured a

38
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.280
Guinness World Record. Now, not one of these silliest ones, like,

39
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:03.000
you know, eating most grapes in six seconds using your

40
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:04.879
left hand while standing on your head. You know, not

41
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.240
one of those, this is heaviest peach. I probably just

42
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.080
gave that other guy an idea heaviest peach by growing

43
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.240
a fruit that weighed in at one point eight three pounds.

44
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:17.159
That doesn't seem that heavy, But I've never weighed a peach.

45
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.599
How much is a peach weigh? I guess they're pretty light.

46
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:24.159
The Child's Peach Orchard said peach pickers harvested the massive

47
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:26.919
fruit in September, and they suspected it could beat the

48
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.879
world record, which was one point eight pounds. This one

49
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.080
is one point eight three pounds, much much heavier. Henry

50
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:36.479
Chiles to a local TV We weren't intentionally trying to

51
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:38.479
grow the biggest peach out there. Just so happened that

52
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.680
the weather we had this year turned out good got

53
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.520
a joinormous speach. The Annals of Improbable Science have announced

54
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:48.919
this year's ig Nobel Prize winners, the Ignobel Prize. It

55
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:53.120
was the thirty fifth first annual Ignoble Prizes. They added

56
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.560
out awards for scientific research that makes people laugh then think.

57
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:01.400
The Literature Prize was given posthumously to William. William had

58
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.080
persistently recorded and analyzed the rate of growth of one

59
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.319
of his fingernails over a period of thirty five years.

60
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:11.280
The Nutrition prize went to four researchers who determined that

61
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:15.719
rainbow lizards at a seaside resort in Togo prefer four

62
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.000
cheese to other varizies of pizza. I gotta love this.

63
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.800
The Chemistry prize was presented to some researchers who analyze

64
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.840
weather eating teflon would be an effective way to increase

65
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.520
food volume without extra calories. I'm not sure what the

66
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.840
research was there, but I could guess. The Ignoble Peace

67
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.599
Prize went to some researchers whose study found that drinking

68
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:39.120
alcohol sometimes improves a person's ability to speak in a

69
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.319
foreign language. The flip side of that, The Aviation Prize

70
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:44.520
went to researchers who did a study that shows that

71
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:48.759
alcohol ingestion affects the ability of bats to fly or

72
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:53.039
drunk bats. And the theme of this year was digestion.

73
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.280
Guest speakers addressed a study that links using a smartphone

74
00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.400
on the toilet? Are you doing that now as you

75
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:04.360
listen to me? That's weird and developing hemorrhoids. I think

76
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.000
this is one of those episodes that's actually four good

77
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:10.280
news stories, and this one's it's probably not good news.

78
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.759
I'm not sure it's really bad news. It's just news.

79
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.600
San Francisco Bay area residents are told to be on

80
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.240
the lookout for an aggressive squirrel. The aggressive squirrel has

81
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.399
sent at least two people to the emergency room. Joan

82
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.000
said she was walking and the squirrel came out of

83
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.319
nowhere and attacked her leg and started biting her. She

84
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.160
said it clamped under my leg. The tail was flying

85
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:31.839
up here. I was like, get off me, get off me.

86
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.920
Isabelle was walking in the same area, also attacked by

87
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:39.839
a squirrel, presumably the same squirrel. The squirrel launched itself

88
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.279
from the ground, jumped on her face, wound up on

89
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.279
her arm, leaving it bloody. Flyers have now been posted

90
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.680
warning residents that the squirrel is no joke. More than

91
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.800
five people have been attacked by a very mean squirrel

92
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.839
that comes out of nowhere. Those your five good news

93
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:58.480
stories for today. Why you're laughing, I don't know. It's

94
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:02.279
a silly story. This is just a fun, fluffy show.

95
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:04.560
Have you not figured that out. I don't want anyone

96
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.680
hurt by a mean squirrel, but the flyer is funny.

97
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:08.800
You have a great day.
