00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.199
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Man with five

2
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:14.199
good news stories. A manatee has made friends with a woman.

3
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:17.519
Apparently the woman goes paddle boarding and the manatee likes

4
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:20.960
to hang out. Kendra has shared her relationship with the

5
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.120
manatee on TikTok. She has given the manatee the name Paddle.

6
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.879
Kendra says it seems like Paddle recognizes her whenever she

7
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.359
goes out to do some paddle boarding. Or perhaps it's

8
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:34.880
just the intimate connection we share through our frequent meetings.

9
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.759
Her gentle gaze convinces me she remembers our bond, she

10
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:40.679
told the local TV station. She's been posting these on

11
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.399
social media, but includes a disclaimer in each of her videos,

12
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:47.880
explaining that she does not intentionally approach the manatees, as that,

13
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.119
of course, is illegal to do so in Florida. Do

14
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:54.079
you ever feel like nobody's listening to you? Well, Paul

15
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:57.719
is on a cross country tour up in Canada. He'll

16
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.159
show up, he'll sit down and he'll listen to any

17
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.960
one about anything. It's called I will listen. It's two

18
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.400
folding chairs and a wooden table, Paul told the CBC

19
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:09.760
I'm there as a fellow human to make connections. I

20
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.120
just create that safe space for them, a little bit

21
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.319
like the stranger on the airplane that you're never going

22
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:17.040
to see again. I think they're curious for sure, who's

23
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.719
this older man? People go back and forth few times,

24
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:22.280
and then they get some courage and come sit down.

25
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.159
There's no timeline, no topic restrictions, no charge, no pressure.

26
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.640
That's fun, all right. I got a world record for you.

27
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:35.120
Albl Fozzle has set the record for most spoons balanced

28
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:37.519
on the body. How many spoons do you think somebody

29
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.439
could balance on the body. The old record was eighty five. Well,

30
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.400
Abbil Fozzy has broken his own record ninety six spoons.

31
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.760
He told Guinness he'd been sticking objects to his skin

32
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:51.840
since he was a kid, but after multiple years of

33
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:54.040
practice and effort, I was able to strengthen my talent

34
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.599
and develop it to where it is now. Anything. I

35
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.079
mean it, any object, anything that is a surface I

36
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:03.159
can stick to my body, such as plastic, glass, fruit, stone, wood,

37
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:09.080
even a fully grown human and of course spoons. If

says uninterrupted listening short version five bucks a month, all

42
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.520
that goes away. I haven't had a Lockness Monster story

43
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.879
in a bit. Maybe this will scratch our itch. Geologists

44
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.919
have found the vertebrae of a giant prehistoric marine lizard.

45
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:36.680
James is a geologist at the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.

46
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.280
He said, I was completely awestruck by its size. The

47
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:41.319
feeling you get when you find a fossil, even as

48
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.960
a professional, never gets sold. When you find something you've

49
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.360
never seen before, the elation can be overwhelming. This lizard

50
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.759
is seven inches across. Now you might be like a

51
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:54.319
seven inch lizard. No, I said, seven inches across. The

52
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:58.680
Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality posted while the dinosaurs ruled

53
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.840
the land, these Mezzo Zoic era oceans were likely the

54
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.159
most dangerous of any time and the entire history of

55
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.879
our planet. And of course there were some mosasaurs that

56
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.639
were seven inches across. All right, what are you doing

57
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:11.240
this weekend? You want to run a five k? You

58
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.439
should run a five k this week and you'll enjoy it.

59
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.560
There's one coming up on Saturday in South Carolina. You'll

60
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.400
have a good time. Already one hundred and sixty one

61
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.159
people have signed up. Why don't you do the five k?

62
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.240
The Carolina Foothills Resort is having a five k. You

63
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:27.240
should do it. It's the Buck Creek Streak five k. Oh

64
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:31.199
the Carolina Foothills Resort. It's a newdest resort. Tom is

65
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.159
on the board of directors and said, you can go

66
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:35.199
anywhere and do a five k, but you can't go

67
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.120
anywhere and run a five k naked. He says, a

68
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:39.840
lot of people will come here for the first time

69
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:41.960
to run the five k, which to me is pretty

70
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:43.400
bold to come here for the first time and have

71
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:45.080
that many people around. But a lot of people will

72
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.319
come back after that first visit because they have such

73
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.879
a great time. Your five k registration includes a free

74
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:54.960
lunch and a day pass to explore the clothing optional resort.

75
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.639
Tom says, it's a great time. If it wasn't fun,

76
00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:59.439
we wouldn't have a record number of people signed up.

77
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.599
It's an all day event. It's just a good time.

78
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:03.680
And those are your five good news stories for today.

79
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:04.639
Good luck on your race.
