Johnny Mac shares five good news stories that include the latest unusual hobbies celebrities have taken up such as beekeeping and knitting, influenced by the upcoming action film 'The Beekeeper'.

An award goes to Siddhu Kshetri, a martial artist from India who throws punches at a punching bag for 55 hours, setting a new Guinness World record.

Animals also make headlines with a dog discovering a dangerous gas leak in a neighborhood and a parrot escaping from a British Zoo.

In a lighter note, etiquette expert Jackie Vernon Thompson resolves the age-long debate on the correct way to hang toilet paper.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.599
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello Chuting Mack
with five good news stories. You know

2
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:18.519
what the new celebrity hobby is?
Bee keeping? Yeah? Not sure.

3
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:22.399
I'll tell you why in a second, but as the story goes. Stars

4
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:28.399
creating a buzz around the pastime include
Beyonce Scarlett, Johansson, David Beckham,

5
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:33.240
Flee from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and of course sting. Yeah.

6
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:37.679
A poll of two thousand adults revealed
that nearly half forty seven percent are looking

7
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:42.600
for more unusual hobbies such as origami, we're foraging for food in the wild.

8
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:47.159
Yeah. Olympic diver Tom Daily loves
to knit. He and fellow knitter

9
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.799
Julia Roberts were voted as two of
the most inspiring celebrity hobbyists. This is

10
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.200
going somewhere, trust me. Other
activities gaining momentum among the survey participants include

11
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:02.320
open mic poetry, arranging flowers and
cashing a public treasure hunt that uses GPS

12
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.599
locations to bury hidden containers. All
right, Johnny Mack, what's the twist?

13
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:11.359
Well. The survey was commissioned by
Sky News ahead of the action film

14
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:17.480
release of The Beekeeper. The film's
director said, I'm not surprised there's so

15
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:21.760
much buzz around beekeeping. I'm hoping
our film will only enhance that. Boy.

16
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:26.120
That's convenient, isn't it. And
of course Jason Statham is also into

17
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.400
beekeeping. How convenient, the director
says, always want to immerse himself in

18
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.120
a movie. Jason Statham really connected
with the whole zen of beekeeping, which

19
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.000
was quite therapeutic between all the groueing
action sequences. Uh huh. So the

20
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.799
top inspiring celebrity hobbyists are, according
to this number one, David Beckham for

21
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.959
beekeeping, Tom Daily Knittings, Scarlett
Johanson beekeeping, uh huh, Rod Stewart

22
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:53.040
model railways, Beyonce beekeeping, uh
huh. Sting of course beekeeping. Other

23
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.519
than his nickname, he got his
nickname from wearing a black and yellow shirt

24
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.920
forty years ago. Julia Roberts knitting, Brad Pitt pottery, Richard Branson's into

25
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.280
chess flea bee keeping, Nicole Kidman's
skydives, Henry Cavell's into warhammer. Will

26
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:10.400
Smith is into fencing, Francis Bourgeois
is into train spotting, Bill Gates plays

27
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:16.439
bridge, Claudia Schiffer collects insects and
Susan Sarandon is into ping pong. Congratulations

28
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:22.800
to a forty two year old martial
artist in India, Sidhu Kashtari, spent

29
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.919
fifty five hours fifteen minutes throwing punches
at a punching bag. The rules said

30
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.000
you had to throw one punch every
two seconds, but you did get a

31
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.800
five minute break each hour, but
you're allowed to bank the breaks for longer

32
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.639
breaks down the road. He told
Guinness. I've been practicing martial arts to

33
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.520
the last twenty five years. I'm
interested in contributing to my country, so

34
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.960
I decided to attempt this world record. He said. The pain started around

35
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.840
the twenty hour mark. I'll remind
you he went fifty five hours, which

36
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:52.120
is thirty five more hours, and
I'll also remind you there are twenty four

37
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:53.919
hours in a day. At that
point, I reminded myself it was a

38
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.639
test on my limits. I believe
that if I stayed emotionally strong, I

39
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.360
could endure the pain. Good job
by Tobe, the four year old husky

40
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:05.479
who stopped the neighborhood from blowing up. Kobe's owner noticed that Kobe was digging

41
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.120
in the same spot hour after hour. She didn't think much of it because

42
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:12.159
Kobe's a digger. But then the
hole got larger and larger, and the

43
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.039
owner was like, huh. The
owner says, I trust his judgment because

44
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.520
that wasn't typical behavior. He's great
senses and he never digs holes unless he's

45
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.400
helping me. Dig I knew something
was up. Well, there was a

46
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.159
gas leak. Long story short,
and it was pretty serious and Kobe saved

47
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:29.800
the day for that house and a
couple others. Nice job. Also great

48
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.599
job by a parrot who figured out
how to escape a British zoo. The

49
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:38.120
rainbow lorikeet landed on a visitor as
they were exiting the walk in enclosure of

50
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.879
the parrot land. The guest asked
a zoo keeper, Hey, can you

51
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:46.199
get this parrot off me? But
the parrot flew away. The bird was

52
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.120
spotted in several trees in various locations
around the zoo, but fled before it

53
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:54.560
Biguld recaptured. The zoo moved its
other rainbow lorikeets to outdoor enclosures, hoping

54
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:59.800
that their calls would summon their wayward
friend. And good news if you and

55
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.039
your spouse or fighting over which way
the toilet roll should hang in the bathroom.

56
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.759
An expert has settled it. Do
you hang it over or under?

57
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:14.199
Fortunately for US, etiquette expert Jackie
Vernon Thompson has settled this. She tells

58
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.000
The Daily Mail that research reveals that
the proper and most hygienic way to hang

59
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:23.079
your toilet paper is over. She
says that also goes for paper towels.

60
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.519
Not only is that hygienic, it
lends to maintaining proper hygiene, which is

61
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:31.240
proper etiquette. The Inside Out School
of Etiquette explained that the inventor Seth Wheeler

62
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.879
listed the correct way to hang toilet
paper in a diagram way back in eighteen

63
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.199
ninety one. Toilet paper was new
then and he had explained how you use

64
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:42.199
it, and he included a sketch
showing the paper on the holder hanging over

65
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.519
the top. Jackie Vernon Thompson explains
if the paper is over when you reach

66
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.399
for it, your fingers will touch
only the piece that you plan to use,

67
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.839
and in a weird twist, she
also asks people to consider using it

68
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:58.279
the wrong way in a public bathroom, grossing people out encouraging them to hang

69
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.839
their toilet paper the correct way.
I'm just picturing, you know, You're

70
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.839
in a truck stop in I eighty
and I don't even know how that works.

71
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:05.800
Hey, dude, come in here
in this stall. Let me show

72
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:10.680
you something like weird. That's your
five good news stories for today. If

73
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.759
you enjoy the program, tell a
friend about it that you might enjoy you

74
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:15.120
too, and you have a great
day.
