0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello Chuting Mack with five good news stories. You know what the new celebrity hobby is? Bee keeping? Yeah? Not sure. I'll tell you why in a second, but as the story goes. Stars creating a buzz around the pastime include Beyonce Scarlett, Johansson, David Beckham, Flee from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and of course sting. Yeah. A poll of two thousand adults revealed that nearly half forty seven percent are looking for more unusual hobbies such as origami, we're foraging for food in the wild. Yeah. Olympic diver Tom Daily loves to knit. He and fellow knitter Julia Roberts were voted as two of the most inspiring celebrity hobbyists. This is going somewhere, trust me. Other activities gaining momentum among the survey participants include open mic poetry, arranging flowers and cashing a public treasure hunt that uses GPS locations to bury hidden containers. All right, Johnny Mack, what's the twist?
1:06 Well. The survey was commissioned by Sky News ahead of the action film release of The Beekeeper. The film's director said, I'm not surprised there's so much buzz around beekeeping. I'm hoping our film will only enhance that. Boy. That's convenient, isn't it. And of course Jason Statham is also into beekeeping. How convenient, the director says, always want to immerse himself in a movie. Jason Statham really connected with the whole zen of beekeeping, which was quite therapeutic between all the groueing action sequences. Uh huh. So the top inspiring celebrity hobbyists are, according to this number one, David Beckham for beekeeping, Tom Daily Knittings, Scarlett Johanson beekeeping, uh huh, Rod Stewart model railways, Beyonce beekeeping, uh huh. Sting of course beekeeping. Other than his nickname, he got his nickname from wearing a black and yellow shirt forty years ago. Julia Roberts knitting, Brad Pitt pottery, Richard Branson's into chess flea bee keeping, Nicole Kidman's skydives, Henry Cavell's into warhammer. Will Smith is into fencing, Francis Bourgeois is into train spotting, Bill Gates plays bridge, Claudia Schiffer collects insects and Susan Sarandon is into ping pong. Congratulations to a forty two year old martial artist in India, Sidhu Kashtari, spent fifty five hours fifteen minutes throwing punches at a punching bag. The rules said you had to throw one punch every two seconds, but you did get a five minute break each hour, but you're allowed to bank the breaks for longer breaks down the road. He told Guinness. I've been practicing martial arts to
2:38 the last twenty five years. I'm interested in contributing to my country, so I decided to attempt this world record. He said. The pain started around the twenty hour mark. I'll remind you he went fifty five hours, which is thirty five more hours, and I'll also remind you there are twenty four hours in a day. At that point, I reminded myself it was a test on my limits. I believe that if I stayed emotionally strong, I could endure the pain. Good job by Tobe, the four year old husky who stopped the neighborhood from blowing up. Kobe's owner noticed that Kobe was digging in the same spot hour after hour. She didn't think much of it because Kobe's a digger. But then the hole got larger and larger, and the owner was like, huh. The owner says, I trust his judgment because that wasn't typical behavior. He's great senses and he never digs holes unless he's helping me. Dig I knew something was up. Well, there was a gas leak. Long story short, and it was pretty serious and Kobe saved the day for that house and a couple others. Nice job. Also great job by a parrot who figured out how to escape a British zoo. The rainbow lorikeet landed on a visitor as they were exiting the walk in enclosure of the parrot land. The guest asked a zoo keeper, Hey, can you get this parrot off me? But the parrot flew away. The bird was spotted in several trees in various locations around the zoo, but fled before it Biguld recaptured. The zoo moved its other rainbow lorikeets to outdoor enclosures, hoping that their calls would summon their wayward friend. And good news if you and your spouse or fighting over which way the toilet roll should hang in the bathroom.
4:03 An expert has settled it. Do you hang it over or under? Fortunately for US, etiquette expert Jackie Vernon Thompson has settled this. She tells The Daily Mail that research reveals that the proper and most hygienic way to hang your toilet paper is over. She says that also goes for paper towels. Not only is that hygienic, it lends to maintaining proper hygiene, which is proper etiquette. The Inside Out School of Etiquette explained that the inventor Seth Wheeler listed the correct way to hang toilet paper in a diagram way back in eighteen ninety one. Toilet paper was new then and he had explained how you use it, and he included a sketch showing the paper on the holder hanging over the top. Jackie Vernon Thompson explains if the paper is over when you reach for it, your fingers will touch only the piece that you plan to use, and in a weird twist, she also asks people to consider using it the wrong way in a public bathroom, grossing people out encouraging them to hang their toilet paper the correct way. I'm just picturing, you know, You're in a truck stop in I eighty and I don't even know how that works.
5:03 Hey, dude, come in here in this stall. Let me show you something like weird. That's your five good news stories for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it that you might enjoy you too, and you have a great day.
