Calaroga Shark Media. Hi, I'm
Johnny Mack with five good news stories and
2
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:15.279
the baseball team has been accused of
fat shaming. Well, don't do that.
3
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:19.920
What did these guys do? They
named its pig mascot after weight loss
4
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.160
drug ozim pic. See if you
could figure out where the joke is gonna
5
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:28.879
be. The Saint Paul Saints chose
ozim Pig from nearly twenty three hundred names
6
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:32.280
submitted by fans. Jokingly, the
pig was ashamed of gaining weight and the
7
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:37.719
promised to slim down. Some on
social media did not like the ozempig pun
8
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.000
one road. I wouldn't make fun
of people's weight and diabetics. It just
9
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:44.039
feels a bit cruel. Maybe time
for a marketing meeting to figure this out,
10
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:47.880
y'all. Meanwhile, in Paris,
waiters and waitresses raced through the streets
11
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.399
of Paris for the first time in
thirteen years. What did they have to
12
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.320
do? They had to balance a
tray with a croissant, a coffee cup
13
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:58.960
and a glass of water. The
fastest competitors from Paris cafes and bistros took
14
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.439
to the line recently. It's a
one hundred and ten year old event.
15
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:04.879
It was held for the first time
after a thirteen year hiatus since being used
16
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:10.400
to promote the summer Olympics coming to
Paris. Around two hundred participants, dressed
17
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:14.879
in their uniforms, loaded up their
trees with their regulation pastry, a small
18
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.519
but empty coffee cup, and a
full glass of water. At the end
19
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.200
of the race, they were judged
on how much liquid they had spilled,
20
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:25.359
as well as their time. Pauline
was the winner fourteen minutes, twelve seconds.
21
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.439
Why was there a thirteen year pause? You're wondering, me too,
22
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.439
don't have the answer. Switching gear
is good news on the medical front.
23
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:36.599
Breakthroughs an artificial intelligence or changing the
tide in a new chapter of healthcare.
24
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:42.159
One breakthrough includes a new visual mapping
AI model that can accurately identify diseases and
25
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.439
tumors in medical images. A scientist
tells us. The idea is to help
26
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.760
catch cancer and disease at its earliest
stages, like an X on a map,
27
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.000
and understand how the decision was made. The AI was able to flag
28
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.920
early signs of tumors, detect hard
conditions and X rays, and identify macular
29
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.159
degeneration. The scientist says our model
will help streamline in the process and make
30
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.519
it easier on doctors and patients alike. That's awesome. Hey, good news,
31
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.439
you've been invited to wedding. Mad
news your friend that invite you to
32
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.639
the wedding. It's gonna charge you
like twenty two hundred dollars to attend the
33
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:16.159
wedding and it doesn't even include drinks. A man named Jack went on Reddit
34
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:20.479
and said he was excited to receive
the invite from his friends. Once he
35
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.319
had RSVP'd, Jack said he got
a message that read thank you for svping
36
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.120
to our wedding and thank you for
helping us have the wedding of our dreams.
37
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.520
He then saw link which said click
here for payment, which he assumed
38
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.240
was a contribution towards the Honeymoon Fund, but it turned out to be a
39
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:38.199
request for just under two thousand British
pounds to attend the event. Jack called
40
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:39.759
the venue, We're like, yeah, the couple wants you to help them
41
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:44.159
have their dream wedding. Jack paid
the fee because he's a cool guy and
42
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.479
expected there to be food and alcohol
included, and he found on the day
43
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:51.000
none of the drinks were free,
and he ended up paying out another two
44
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.240
hundred bucks or so. It worked
out to thirty dollars or so for the
45
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:58.599
drinks and a two hundred dollars tip
the bride and the groom had requested Jack's
46
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.520
rant. Not only did the groom
passed on the cost of a ridiculously priced
47
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:06.439
venue to the guests after people at
rsvpete, essentially putting the venue above guest
48
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.800
attendants, then they passed on the
cost of the tip to the guests without
49
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.919
telling them all caps as a required
charge on checkout. I've never heard of
50
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.439
anything so entitled my life and you
may have seen this story. This made
51
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:22.319
it all the way the mainstream news
of this poor woman, an animal lover,
52
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:28.000
thought she had nursed a sick baby
hedgehog. She tried nursing it to
53
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.879
health all night. The hedgehog wasn't
doing too well. She had found the
54
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:35.479
baby hedgehog on the street and picked
it up and took it home was trying
55
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.080
to nurse back to health. The
hedgehog wasn't looking too good in the morning,
56
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:43.120
so she took it to a local
wildlife hospital. The hospital manager took
57
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.080
a look at the hedgehog and broke
the sad news to her the hedgehog,
58
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:53.520
it was actually a wooly hat a. The woman rushed into the hospital with
59
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.759
a cardboard box under her arm.
She said she had spent the night trying
60
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.680
to get the baby hedgehog to eat. It didn't eat because it was a
61
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.280
hat. The hospitalist explained it was
the first admission of the day. The
62
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:08.000
lady came in with a box,
said she had found this baby hedgehog on
63
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:10.439
the pavement. It was cold,
so she picked it up. I was
64
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.479
just alarmed. It's very early for
baby hedgehogs. I was a bit concerned.
65
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:15.000
I took the box from her and
took it to triage, which is
66
00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:17.920
a separate room. I opened the
box and well couldn't believe what I was
67
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:21.439
seeing. I thought, it's definitely
not a hedgehog. Perhaps it's some kind
68
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:25.439
of other fluffy creature. I realized
it wasn't animated at all, and I
69
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.639
picked it up, and obviously with
the weight, I could feel that it
70
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.240
wasn't a hedgehog or any animal at
all. I put it back in the
71
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.600
box and came out and said to
the lady, it's actually a bobble off,
72
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.800
a bobble hat. She was very
sweet, bless her. Her heart
73
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.279
was on the right place. She
took the box from me and left quite
74
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.399
quickly. And those are your five
good news stories for today. If you
75
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.759

about it. They might like it too.

not a hedgehog. Perhaps it's some kind
68
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:25.439
of other fluffy creature. I realized
it wasn't animated at all, and I
69
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.639
picked it up, and obviously with
the weight, I could feel that it
70
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.240
wasn't a hedgehog or any animal at
all. I put it back in the
71
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.600
box and came out and said to
the lady, it's actually a bobble off,
72
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.800
a bobble hat. She was very
sweet, bless her. Her heart
73
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.279
was on the right place. She
took the box from me and left quite
74
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.399
quickly. And those are your five
good news stories for today. If you
75
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.759
enjoy the program, tell a friend
about it. They might like it too.
76
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.120
You could share it on social media. And if you're not already a
77
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.279
follower, especially if you're on Apple
Podcast, pushed that plus button up on
78
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:55.360
the top right so you don't miss
an episode. New episodes Monday, Wednesday,
79
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.040

a great day.
