00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.279
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five

2
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:13.839
news stories. Congratulations to a park in Japan. It has

3
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:17.679
officially been named the world's smallest park. All right, how

4
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:21.160
big is this park? Two and a half square feet.

5
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:25.480
The park is about an hour from Tokyo. Was created

6
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.440
nineteen eighty eight after a worker at a construction company

7
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:32.000
returned from a trip to the United States. The worker

8
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:34.560
had ran into the Mills Ends Park in Portland, Oregon,

9
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.880
which previously held the record out a gigantic three point

10
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:41.600
one square feet. Juji Cooyoma told Guinness, so they wanted

11
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:43.880
to create an even smaller park. It was completed in

12
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:46.200
eighty eight, but the city didn't bring in Guinness until

13
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.719
just now. Nineteen eight is not five minutes ago anymore. Guys,

14
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:52.799
what have you been doing? Coyoma said. We want to

15
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:54.920
continue maintaining the park with the community, as well as

16
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.399
creating a landscape that is more social media friendly so

17
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:00.439
that even more people will find a track. Actions of

18
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.840
Howard Town. So many quirky records. An Australian father and

19
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.879
son have set a record performing forty five consecutive inside

20
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.280
loops in a glider. David was going to turn fifty,

21
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.200
so he got his son Max to join him in

22
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.719
a twin seat DG one thousand glider in the skies

23
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.719
over South Australia. Dad said, throughout my whole life, been

24
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:21.519
trying to set myself as a role model for young people,

25
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:24.159
in particular my family, to show that goal setting, working hard,

26
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:26.359
having discipline and really trying hard is the way to

27
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:28.040
get what you want to achieve. And that's what we

28
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.000
did with this record. That's good advice there. They completed

29
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:34.799
forty five consecutive loops, which smashed the old record of

30
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:36.920
twenty four, which had stood since two thousand and one.

31
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:39.920
An eighty one year old woman was going through boxes

32
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:44.200
of her mother's belongings. She found an overdue library book.

33
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.159
It had been checked out by her grandfather ninety nine

34
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.640
years earlier. The folks in Berkeley Township said, Mary returned

35
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.439
the books. So if you've been looking to check out

36
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.280
Homemade Toys for Girls and Boys by A. Neely Hall

37
00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.799
and Eve, been waiting since nineteen twenty six, it's back.

38
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.280
You can check it out of the Ocean County Library now.

39
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.359
Mary told CNN, I don't know if grandchildren, my kids

40
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.200
are getting older. You if my son took it, I

41
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:08.919
don't know what to do with it. I figured it

42
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:12.759
belongs to the library. Now. Luckily, the Ocean County Library

43
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.159
is celebrating its one hundredth anniversary. So this is pretty cool. Oh,

44
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:19.560
by the way, Mary, you owe them eighteen thousand dollars

45
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:25.479
in fees. The US Fish and Wildlife Service are begging

46
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.840
you please stop dumping your goldfish into the waters. You

47
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.560
see the goldfish get pretty big. They recently displayed a

48
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.800
megalodon goldfish the US Fish and Wildlife Service. They were

49
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.599
out there doing a survey and they found this thing.

50
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.240
They sat on social media, your pet store goldfish after

51
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.280
two years of the while to call me Megalodon. Goldfish

52
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.639
can turn lakes and waterways in a murky messes, steal

53
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.240
food from native fish, and wreck water quality. One goldfish

54
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.599
might not seem like a big deal, but they multiply

55
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.759
fast goldfish spawns several times a season. Because they have

56
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:04.280
no natural predators in most North American waters, their populations explode.

57
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.879
And our final story today, a toddler called nine one

58
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.560
one to report emergency donuts. The police sprang into action.

59
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.560
That's right. The more police departments shared the audio of

60
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.039
a nine to one to one call involving a young

61
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.039
boy who was playing with an old cell phone and

62
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:25.400
discovered still had emergency calling enabled. The boy requested emergency donuts,

63
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.639
but did tell the dispatcher have a good day. You know,

64
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:30.879
one day this kid could host this very podcast. He

65
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.439
already has a sign off. The police department tells us

66
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:35.639
old cell phones may be unable to use high speed

67
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.080
data networks, take photos, or play music, but they can

68
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.719
still call nine one one in an emergency. As for

69
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:43.319
the young man, his request for emergency donuts did not

70
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:48.280
go unheeded. The police delivered some duncan Those are five

71
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.319
good news stories for today. I'm gonna go have some

72
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.199
emergency donuts and, in the words of the young man,

73
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:54.400
have a good day,
