00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.640
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, Johnny Neck with five good

2
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:13.400
news stories. Would you like some free coffee? All right,

3
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:15.599
here's what you gotta do. You gotta hit up Coffee

4
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:19.000
Millanal Cafe in Middleborough. They got an idea from a

5
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:22.039
pizza shop that pulled off a similar promotion. What you

6
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:24.640
have to do is you have to go in and dance.

7
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:29.160
Olivia is the barista and social media director of Coffee

8
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:31.000
Milanal Cafe and said, we just thought it was gonna

9
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:32.359
be a small thing for the people to come in

10
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.359
every day. A video went viral seven and a half

11
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.159
million views on TikTok alone. She says everybody likes to

12
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.759
see people happy. It wasn't that the coffee was free,

13
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:43.520
it was that people were able to express themselves. They

14
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.719
might do this again in the future. I don't think

15
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.399
they're doing the promotion today. So if you like drive

16
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:52.159
like twelve hours to Middleborough and they're like, we're not

17
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.439
doing that one today, don't get mad at me. Okay,

18
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:57.280
I'll let you know if they do it again. Do

19
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:00.119
you like pop tarts? Do you like Taylor Swift? David

20
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.640
posted a photo of himself receiving homemade pop tarts from

21
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.719
Taylor Swift. David is the defensive backs coach of the

22
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.840
Chiefs and said, Taylor Swift baked homemade Victory pop tarts

23
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:13.920
for me. A handwritten message was visible on the top

24
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.719
of the box from Taylor Swift that read Victory pop Tarts,

25
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.280
Congratulations love Taylor boy. I wonder what you could get

26
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.480
for those on eBay. I might not eat those, then

27
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.959
there's a market there. Coach in New Jersey, a college

28
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:28.959
sports know it all, got a full scholarship to join

29
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:34.079
the university's broadcast team. Alan is blind, but he explains,

30
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.599
I'm reacting to what I hear. He was accepted as

31
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:39.840
a freshman into the Ruin University sports broadcast program to

32
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.480
call the seventy six ers Development League team, the Delaware

33
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.760
Blue Coats. They didn't just hand him the job. He

34
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.239
had to audition. He's now one of the four on

35
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.079
air commentators. Neil runs the broadcast program at Rowan and

36
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:55.400
said Alan deserves it Allan's father, Scott, read a comment

37
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.000
from a listener, He's amazing on the radio. How does

38
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:00.000
he do it? There was a scary moment in Aaron,

39
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.400
Zona on the Double Loop Desert Storm roller coaster the

40
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:07.000
unidentified man told the local NBC news. We start to

41
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:08.719
climb and then you hear the click of the chain

42
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:11.319
of the normal roller coaster. We get up to the top,

43
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:12.919
but I hear a click different from the click of

44
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:14.840
the chain taking us up. So I checked my lap

45
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:17.479
bar one last time and it released. He made the

46
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.120
split second decision to climb off the ride. Yikes. In

47
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.280
video footage, the man is scene getting up from his

48
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.360
seat on the roller coaster as it ascends a ramp

49
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:27.120
high above the ground. He then walks out of the

50
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.439
carriage and onto a walkway as the roller coaster continues

51
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.319
to move toward the top of the ramp. He says,

52
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:33.520
I had mere seconds to act on whether I stayed

53
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.360
on or got off. The rides operator didn't realize he

54
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.639
had walked off. A spokesperson said she should have been

55
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:42.680
watching that car when she saw me climbing out. She

56
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.759
should have been able to hit an emergency release. Should

57
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:48.319
have been able to do something that is absolutely terrifying.

58
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.319
And we started with coffee, let's end with coffee. The

59
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:56.319
world's largest iced latte was served in an eleven foot

60
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.680
tall cup at the corporate headquarters of Duncan Media star

61
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:03.080
Nick teamed up with Duncans, who break the Guinness World

62
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:07.560
Record for largest iced latte. They filled an eleven foot

63
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:11.360
high cup with ice, milk and espresso, two hundred and

64
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.000
seventy six gallons. That'll keep you up at night. They

65
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.520
then divvit it up and portioned it into smaller cups

66
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.919
and served it to more than three hundred employees. And

67
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.120
those are your five good news stories for today. I

68
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.280
could go for a coffee right now. If you would

69
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.240
