00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.880
Caloroka Shock Media. Hey there, Johnny Mack with five gunning stories. Say,

2
00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:15.119
good news. You figured out who's been stealing underwear, gloves, socks,

3
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:19.160
and shoes from properties across the area. A little weird, right, Well,

4
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:21.280
turned out it was a cat burglar. That's right, it

5
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:25.239
was a cat burglar. Taboo the cat has been sneaking

6
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:29.920
out Taboo's human friend, Sandra says. Taboo is rarely caught

7
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:33.719
and has become a master of the criminal trade. Sandra says,

8
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:35.520
whenever I come home from my shift, there are all

9
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:37.759
sorts of things waiting for me, either dragged in through

10
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.679
the cat flap or left on the driveway. This morning,

11
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.640
I had four pairs of socks and a pair of underpants.

12
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.520
She loves bringing back items of clothing like that. We've

13
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:48.960
also had a mophead and kitchen rolls. We even had

14
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.039
a half dozen eggs, one still in their box, but

15
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:53.039
all broken. We think she must have taken them off

16
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.880
someone's doorstep when the milkman dropped them off. Neighbors have

17
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.079
joked it they changed the locks of their houses, but

18
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.359
Sandra believes Taboo the cat steal clothes from people's washing

19
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.400
lines and sneaks into their houses that their doors are

20
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.560
left open taboo. The cat's only been caught once, when

21
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:09.519
a neighbor spotted her trying to take a T shirt

22
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:11.799
from his clothes dryer in the kitchen. Sandra says, if

23
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:13.799
she brings back a sock, she'll always go back and

24
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:15.599
get the matching one of this pair. Well that's good.

25
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:17.079
At least you know, if you get your sock back,

26
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.159
you get them both back. I have a box is

27
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:20.799
stuff she brought from me, and every now and then

28
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.319
I go on Facebook and post a photo so people

29
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.079
can claim it. I want to go and join that

30
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.599
Facebook group and see like, hey found your underwear. Sandra says,

31
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.280
whenever she gets something, she sits outside makes a high

32
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:33.599
pitched whining noise to let me know. I've tried talking

33
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.000
to her about it, but she doesn't change her ways. Underwear,

34
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.280
sock shoes, she just keeps bringing them home. I can't

35
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:41.319
tell you how many pairs of gardening gloves she's brought me.

36
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.599
I've never heard of a cat doing anything like this before,

37
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.480
and she shows no signs of stopping. Nice job. Buy.

38
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.359
Some fire departments in Colorado, they put out the annual

39
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:55.000
Fire Rescue Dogs calendar. Features eighteen male firefighters who you know,

40
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.319
pose nicely alongside adorable puppies. In the past ten years

41
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.120
of making the calendar raised nearly one million dollars nine

42
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:04.560
hundred and fifty grand, and they're hoping to top one

43
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.159
million dollars this year. All money raise benefits Lifeline Puppy Rescue,

44
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.439
a no kill shelter based in the Rocky Mountain region.

45
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.879
Proceeds will pay for essential procedures like spaying and neutering, microchipping,

46
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.159
and more. The firefighters also use the image on social

47
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.400
media as are minus for pet safety tips. All right,

48
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:22.360
you gotta gain his world record for us today, John,

49
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:24.479
Of course I do. There's so many of these I

50
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:26.080
don't even go looking for them. They fall in on

51
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:28.759
my lap. A quartet of bowlers in Kentucky set a

52
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:31.960
new record. They rolled two thousand and thirty two strikes

53
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:35.319
in twenty four hours. A nice job by Steve, Trace,

54
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.360
Kyle and Eric. They were down at Lane one, down

55
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.520
a kingpin. This was a new record, and to inaugurate

56
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.639
the record they needed a minimum twelve hundred strikes. I

57
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.520
don't know who decides such things. They crushed that fourteen

58
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:49.840
hours in. They kept going and wound up with two

59
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:54.879
thousand and thirty two. Two restaurants in North Carolina are

60
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:58.400
having a full blown sign war, with dozens of businesses

61
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.599
chiming in to the start. Ione's Born Grill left a

62
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.240
message saying Happy Birthday, Jeff on its mor quy for

63
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.560
nearly a month. Dank Burrito Is established a nearby. They

64
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.719
made their sign read Ione's quit being lazy, change your sign.

65
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.280
Ione's changed their sign to dank. We're not lazy, We're

66
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.280
just busier than you. Dank Burrito had none of that

67
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.400
and said, y'all just look busy because it takes two

68
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:26.439
hours for dollar. Taco Prime Bistro jumped in their sign says, boys,

69
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:30.680
do we need to have a meet ing? Meat? EJW.

70
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.199
Outdoors jumped in and wrote, guys, do we need to

71
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:38.120
taco about it? Little hackey there? EJW Outdoors. The guy

72
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.360
from Ione says he intends to keep the sign wor

73
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:44.280
going as long as I can. Meanwhile, a Royal National

74
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.240
lifeboat crew in England responded to reports of a stranded

75
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.199
person in the water. They arrived on the scene and

76
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.560
they recovered a training dummy. The dummy turned out to

77
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.759
have been lost by a different crew two weeks earlier.

78
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.400
That's embarrassing. The other crew thanked the rescue crew for

79
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.360
finding their dummy named Fred. In a Facebook post. They said,

80
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:07.479
so Fred had an unauthorized holiday and those are your

81
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.000
five good news stories for today. If you enjoy the program,

82
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:11.879
tell a friend about it, or you know, if you've

83
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.120
got a restaurant, put it up on the sign. Do

84
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:15.680
you know I have your signs? Say listen to five

85
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.160
good news stories. I'd appreciate it. See you next time.

86
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:18.800
Have a great day.
