00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.320
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, Johnny Mack with five food

2
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:15.640
news stories. Congratulations to the woman with the world's longest tongue.

3
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:20.079
She's going viral after revealing that she uses her tongue

4
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:25.039
to play jinga and to lift utensels. Chanelle Tapper told Guinness,

5
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:26.879
that's what makes my tongue the most fun when I

6
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:28.800
could do things that are outside the box with it.

7
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.000
Her tongue measures three point eight inches. I've never thought

8
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.159
about how long a tongue is, or not to go

9
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.119
ahead and measure yours. She says. The best reaction I

10
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:40.240
could ever get when someone sees my tongue is screaming.

11
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:42.920
I actually do like when people yell or scream in

12
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.359
shock or horror. Sometimes. My favorite thing about being a

13
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:48.119
record holder has to be when I get to travel

14
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.280
and meet other record holders as well. It's fun, and

15
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:51.520
of course I get to see the parts of the

16
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.039
world I've never seen before. I didn't know that was

17
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:55.759
a thing. She got to go to Milan and have

18
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.119
her tongue painted blue and green for the Welcome Successful

19
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:02.679
Living campaign from the Italian fashion brand Diesel. It's not

20
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:07.319
the thickest tongue that goes to Jinny, whose tongue circumference

21
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.439
is five point two one inches, which, in case you're curious,

22
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:13.359
is wider than the size of a xoda can wow.

23
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.640
Scientists getting it done. A wait, you're the Queen's accents

24
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.799
there that I dropped the g Well, it's good because

25
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:20.319
the story is from Long Island, so I guess I

26
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:24.599
did say it in the appropriate accent. Scientists getting it done.

27
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:26.480
A patient on Long Island is the first in New

28
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.359
York to be cured of sickle cell anemia. Sebastian suffered

29
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.239
from sickle cell anemia for twenty one years and said

30
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:35.359
sickle cell was like a blockade for me, but now

31
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:37.680
it's just like a wall that I jumped over. The

32
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:42.200
scientists used his own bone marrow in IV transfusions to

33
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.400
create normal red blood cells. One of the doctors said,

34
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:47.200
when we could use Sebastian's own stem cells to do

35
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.599
this therapy, we were delighted. Sebastian's mom said, Sebastian's been

36
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:52.680
coming to the hospital since he was two months old.

37
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:54.920
There are not enough words to show you how grateful

38
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:59.239
I am. Great job, everybody. Tennis star Danielle Collins is

39
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:03.560
looking to a donkey Danielle owns seven chickens and five

40
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.079
dogs and wants to purchase a donkey and horses for

41
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.960
her budding form. Colins told The Tennis Channel, my motto

42
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:14.080
is with my merchandise to play tennis cash checks, rescue

43
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.919
animals and give them the booshiest lifestyle possible. In March,

44
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.479
she spotted an injured German shepherd the middle of a

45
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.240
road near a hard rock stadium in Miami. She brought

46
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.479
the dog to a local animal hospital. It's spent five

47
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.639
days there and she adopted the dog. She has named

48
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:33.039
the dog Crash Marino Collins. The name refers to Dan Marino,

49
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.000
the Miami Dolphins quarterback. Colin's her last name, and Crash,

50
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.199
I guess being with the car thing, I don't know,

51
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:41.639
Colin says, I'm just glad I had the means to

52
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:43.000
be able to help him and now he's part of

53
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.719
my family. He's such a sweet guy. She's earned about

54
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:47.800
nine and a half million dollars in prize money during

55
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:49.960
her singles tennis career and says, I just look at

56
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.159
it as bonus time. When all these new hobbies animals

57
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.240
of mine, something's got to pay the bills, right, all

58
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.080
the funds are basically going towards their five star lives.

59
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:01.599
That's awesome. A kangaroo got loose South Carolina. But that's

60
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.479
not even the interesting part. You know how the kangaroo

61
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:07.520
got loose, The goat let him out. Police in South

62
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:11.719
Carolina did a round up the escaped kangaroo. The kangaroo's owner,

63
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.479
Lindsey said, she's just woken up and a neighbor was like, hey,

64
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:16.840
your kangaroo got out. She had to go out in

65
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.840
her pink pajamas to help the police wrangle the kangaroo.

66
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.879
The owner determined that the goat had unlaunched the gate,

67
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.840
and good news. Those swimmers in distress they're okay. You

68
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.960
know why, because they're not swimmers in distress, they're geese.

69
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:36.000
Emergency responders launched a search following report of swimmers in

70
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.479
distress off the coast of New Zealand. The police responded,

71
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:43.439
the rescue helicopter responded, The Coast Guard responded, there was

72
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:47.199
a report to swimmers in distress near Ferguson Park. The

73
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:51.080
helicopter and the Coastguard searched the area for forty five minutes.

74
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:55.479
Then the police were like, chill out, it's just geese.

75
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.639
A Coastguard spokesperson said the caller who mistook the geese

76
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.840
for people did the right thing, adding it's always better

77
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.520
to be safe than sorry. Those are your five good
