0:03 Kalaroga Shark Media. Oh no, a police officer has been turned into a frog. Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories in Utah, the PD learned the hard way that, yeah, you can't rely on AI for everything, especially proofreading. The police department began using some AI tools to automatically generate police reports from body camera footage. One of the reports stated that an officer had been transformed into a frog. Obviously, the PD investigated this. So what happened? While? According to Sergeant Rick, the AI picked up audio from a movie playing in the background. The movie was The Princess and the Frog. The software decided the dialogue was part of a real world event. This is a great Sergeant Rick said, that's what we learned the importance of correcting AI generated reports. You think a routine herding trip in Germany turned into a super market stampede. Fifty sheep got away from the shepherd and went into the supermarket.
1:06 Video from inside the supermarket shows the sheep running through the front doors, creating chaos in the aisles and leaving behind damaged goods and a mess. Deeter the shepherd said the sheep separated from a larger flock he was guiding through the area on the way to the river. The trouble started when the sheep were distracted by some acorns scattered in the supermarket parking lot. Really, the sheep used that as a snack deed tour, and then they went into the supermarket. I guess they were still hungry. Deeter, the shepherd said, now they're back with the flock. That's good. Today's fun. Huh Hey. A high altitude Deeredevil from Belarus broke the Guinness World Record. She went skysurfing over Mount Everest. She jumped out of a helicopter at twenty nine and forty five feet. Olga kept control of her board until deploying her parachute and safely landing at twelve three hundred and fifty six feet. Olga said, since I discovered skysurfing, it was my dream to perform a very skydive and to inspire our girls around the world not to be scared, to be bold and to dream big Wow. Meanwhile, in Washington, the police were dealing with a break in. It turns out some goats had tried to enter a retirement facility.
2:15 Police showed up and detained the goat until a friend of the goat's owner showed up to collect the goat. Ruby the goat even took a photo with the police officers. The police report charges were dropped due to extreme adorableness. If you're enjoying this program and you want to support it, one way you can do that is on Apple Podcasts.

A production error has turned a low cost stuffed toy into an unexpected viral hit in China. The four dollars stuffed horse was designed to be a cheerful horse for the Year of the Horse, but however, during manufacturing, the muzzle was sewn on upside down, which gives the horse a frown and nostrils that resemble falling tears. People online have nicknamed it the crying Horse. The factory owners said initial sales in October were about like four hundred a day, but after the images went viral, now they're selling tens of thousands per day. The toy has been adopted as a mascot by Chinese office workers, who described themselves as cattle and horse, used a shorthand for overworked and undervalued. One customer told the South China Morning Post, the little horse
3:48 looks so sad and pitiful, just like the way I feel at work. Sorry, dude, those are your five good news stories for today. Everybody else, well you two, sir, I have an awesome day.
