The Naked 5K

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Man with five good news stories. A manatee has made friends with a woman. Apparently the woman goes paddle boarding and the manatee likes to hang out. Kendra has shared her relationship with the manatee on TikTok. She has given the manatee the name Paddle. Kendra says it seems like Paddle recognizes her whenever she goes out to do some paddle boarding. Or perhaps it's just the intimate connection we share through our frequent meetings. Her gentle gaze convinces me she remembers our bond, she told the local TV station. She's been posting these on social media, but includes a disclaimer in each of her videos, explaining that she does not intentionally approach the manatees, as that, of course, is illegal to do so in Florida. Do you ever feel like nobody's listening to you? Well, Paul is on a cross country tour up in Canada. He'll show up, he'll sit down and he'll listen to any one about anything. It's called I will listen. It's two folding chairs and a wooden table, Paul told the CBC I'm there as a fellow human to make connections. I just create that safe space for them, a little bit like the stranger on the airplane that you're never going to see again. I think they're curious for sure, who's this older man? People go back and forth few times, and then they get some courage and come sit down.

1:23 There's no timeline, no topic restrictions, no charge, no pressure. That's fun, all right. I got a world record for you. Albl Fozzle has set the record for most spoons balanced on the body. How many spoons do you think somebody could balance on the body. The old record was eighty five. Well, Abbil Fozzy has broken his own record ninety six spoons. He told Guinness he'd been sticking objects to his skin since he was a kid, but after multiple years of practice and effort, I was able to strengthen my talent and develop it to where it is now. Anything. I mean it, any object, anything that is a surface I can stick to my body, such as plastic, glass, fruit, stone, wood, even a fully grown human and of course spoons.

I haven't had a Lockness Monster story in a bit. Maybe this will scratch our itch. Geologists have found the vertebrae of a giant prehistoric marine lizard.

2:32 James is a geologist at the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. He said, I was completely awestruck by its size. The feeling you get when you find a fossil, even as a professional, never gets sold. When you find something you've never seen before, the elation can be overwhelming. This lizard is seven inches across. Now you might be like a seven inch lizard. No, I said, seven inches across. The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality posted while the dinosaurs ruled the land, these Mezzo Zoic era oceans were likely the most dangerous of any time and the entire history of our planet. And of course there were some mosasaurs that were seven inches across. All right, what are you doing this weekend? You want to run a five k? You should run a five k this week and you'll enjoy it.

3:13 There's one coming up on Saturday in South Carolina. You'll have a good time. Already one hundred and sixty one people have signed up. Why don't you do the five k? The Carolina Foothills Resort is having a five k. You should do it. It's the Buck Creek Streak five k. Oh the Carolina Foothills Resort. It's a newdest resort. Tom is on the board of directors and said, you can go anywhere and do a five k, but you can't go anywhere and run a five k naked. He says, a lot of people will come here for the first time to run the five k, which to me is pretty bold to come here for the first time and have that many people around. But a lot of people will come back after that first visit because they have such a great time. Your five k registration includes a free lunch and a day pass to explore the clothing optional resort.

3:55 Tom says, it's a great time. If it wasn't fun, we wouldn't have a record number of people signed up. It's an all day event. It's just a good time. And those are your five good news stories for today. Good luck on your race.
