00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.919
Callaroga Shark Media, Hey, we
found your donkey. He's been adopted by

2
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:14.759
a herd of elk. Hello Johnny
Mack with five good news stories. A

3
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:19.800
hunter in northern California was out doing
hunting stuff. I guess and whoo.

4
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:23.239
Sounds like the donkey got pretty lucky
if a hunter was out there anyway.

5
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:28.239
The hunter posted on his Instagram channel
video of a donkey separated from its owners.

6
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:32.240
Back in twenty nineteen, Dave was
out walking with Diesel the donkey.

7
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.719
Something spooke to Diesel, the donkey
and Diesel the donkey ran off into the

8
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:39.119
woods. Dave and his wife looked
all over, couldn't find the donkey,

9
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.320
not even with drones. Over the
years. They were sad, and they

10
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:46.520
believed that the donkey probably wasn't up
to the task of surviving in the wild.

11
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.359
However, the elk hooked it up. The hunter said, I pumped

12
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:53.200
into a heard of elk that have
adopted a donkey. I can't get overseeing

13
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.280
it, and I'm amazed. The
donkey looks happy and healthy. Dave and

14
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.520
his wife have since adopted new donkeys, and they said they have no intention

15
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.560
of trying to capture Diesel diesels.
Around eight years old now and with three

16
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.319
quarters of his life ahead of him. To catch him would be next to

17
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:11.079
him possible. He is truly a
wild burrow now, Good job, Elk.

18
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.439
Meanwhile, more than nine hundred artifacts
have been retrieved from two ancient shipwrecks

19
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:21.840
discovered in the South China Sea,
consisting of piles and piles of porcelain along

20
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.200
with other pottery works and copper pieces. The wrecks or a testament to the

21
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:30.519
vast maritime trading network overseen by the
Ming dynasty. Ten thousand items in total

22
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.760
were documented, one tenth of which
were pulled to the surface. The two

23
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.159
ships lie twelve miles apart, around
ninety miles off the coast of Hainan good

24
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.120
news for Dylan. He's ninety years
old and doesn't have to push shopping carts

25
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:47.480
anymore. Karen was a New Orleans
news anchor. She was stunned when she

26
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:51.519
saw ninety year old Dylan pushing shopping
carts in the parking lot of a store.

27
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.760
Dylan is a former Air Force member
who served in Colorado. In Greenland,

28
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:57.840
he said he needed about twenty five
hundred dollars a month to make ends

29
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.640
meat, but only got half of
that from Social Security. That's why he

30
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:04.879
took the job. The fundraiser read, he's a veteran of the United States

31
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.719
military. It's hot. Mister McCormick
was born in nineteen thirty three, making

32
00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:10.840
him part of the Silent Generation.
Please America, let us be his voice.

33
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:15.960
We can do this. The GoFundMe
had a target of thirty five thousand

34
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.479
dollars. In twenty four hours,
two hundred grand rolled in through private donations.

35
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.680
They cut the thing off at two
thirty three. The GoFundMe was updated

36
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.280
saying, no longer will the ninety
year old veteran have to push shopping carts

37
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.319
in triple digit heat just to put
food on his table. Should he choose

38
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.159
to remain working, it'll be just
that his choice. If you're in Chicago,

39
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.759
you might want to check out the
Brookfield Zoo. Koalas Brumby and Willem

40
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:43.479
are the first koals to take up
residents at the Brookfield Zoo. The zoo

41
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.520
turns ninety this month. The Koalas
are on loan from the San Diego Zoo

42
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.680
for two years. I was just
in the San Diego Zoo two weeks ago.

43
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.240
By the time you're hearing this,
Mark is the Zoo's Associate Vice president

44
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.360
of Animal Care and Conservation and says, we do have plans to reinvigorate or

45
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.879
reimagine our Australian area of the Zoo
in the future, and we're hoping that

46
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.479
the Qualas could potentially be a mainstay
for the zoo in the future. He

47
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.639
says, both Qualas are settling in
really well. Meanwhile, I don't know

48
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:13.039
where the Qualas are from, perhaps
from Tasmania. Tasmania is trying to get

49
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.960
winter tourists down there now Our summer
is their winter. Tasmania is offering people

50
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:22.439
the opportunity to swap the daily grind
of your job for an unusual, temporary

51
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:27.879
role during the Tasmanian off season.
Some of the jobs paranormal investigator, wombat

52
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:32.960
walker and stargazer. Now the jobs
are unpaid, However, successful applicants will

53
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:38.199
have all their expenses including travel,
food and hotels, covered by the Tasmanian

54
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:42.759
Tourist Board. That's not bad at
all. The paranormal investigator role is voluntary

55
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.319
and just for one day. It's
open to those with an interest in history

56
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:50.840
and mystery and it devolves picking up
on paranormal activity using the latest ghost hunting

57
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.639
equipment at Willow Court, one of
Australia's oldest asylums. Another job is an

58
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:59.719
oyster organizer. What you do there
is you sort, clean, and categorize

59
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:03.439
oil oysters freshly arvested from the Great
Oyster Bay. There will also be opportunities

60
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:09.319
to taste test the oysters, however, that's purely for quality control. Maybe

61
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.800
you want to be a truffle hunter, or a wine whisper or a wombat

62
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:17.439
walker. During Tasmanian winter's temperatures typically
fall between three and eleven degrees celsius.

63
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:21.759
As I'm sweating here in the basement
recording a podcast as it's about thirty seven

64
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:27.519
celsius down here eleven. That sounds
pretty nice about now. And those are

65
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.439
your five good news stories for today. If you like this program without those
