00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.000
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Johnny Mack who with five good news stories.

2
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:15.599
Good news. The world's largest hot
dog has arrived in Times Square.

3
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:20.280
This is a public art installation called
hot Dog in the City. It's sixty

4
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:25.719
five feet long. It tops the
world record for largest hot dog sculpture.

5
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:31.239
You'll find out on Broadway in forty
six. It's equipped with hydraulics, a

6
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:37.079
confetti cannon, and deeper message.
Hydraulics will periodically turn the hot dog sculpture

7
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:40.880
upright towards the sky. Once in
that position, confetti will burst on the

8
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:45.439
top of it, mimicking the Times
Square New Year's Eve celebration. The goal

9
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.880
of the installation is to call attention
to broader topics facing the city in the

10
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.600
nation, like the politics of street
vending, immigration, consumption, capitalism,

11
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:59.640
and class. The sculpture might also
stir up questions about American hypermasculinity and showmanship,

12
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:02.359
as well as the underbelly of the
meat industry. Wow, this is

13
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.480
deep. A panel of comedians,
activists and food historians will dive in those

14
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:11.040
topics at T. B. Frank
hot Dog Summit. That's a Timesquares town

15
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.280
hall on June ninth, more events, condoment debates, a hot dog eating

16
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.159
contest, and a Hottest Dog dash
Ound beauty pageant. Hot Dog in the

17
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.400
City will be on view through June
thirteenth. Good news, scientists have figured

18
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.040
out a way to grow synthetic diamonds
in just one hundred and fifty minutes.

19
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.879
That could be bad news for natural
diamonds. Hope they're not listening. The

20
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.799
researchers created a blend of gallium,
iron, nickel, and silicon, then

21
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.480
fitted it inside a graphite chamber that
rapidly heated than cooled the metal, all

22
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.439
while exposing it to a mixture of
methane and hydrogen gas. Hey, scientists

23
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.799
appreciate this, Could you guys work
on climate change please? The carbon atoms

24
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:52.000
from the methane gas seeped into the
melted metal and became seeds for the diamonds.

25
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:56.439
Diamond fragments began appearing after just fifteen
minutes. One hundred and fifteen minutes

26
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.640
later diamonds, the researchers point out, Oppenheimer is one hundred and eighty minutes.

27
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:05.439
Nice job by Zack Bryan. He
helped in Tornado relief efforts for Nebraskans

28
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.479
before performing back to back concerts.
After the recent tornadoes, the community rallied,

29
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:14.520
churches and businesses opened their doors for
shelter. Volunteers came out to help

30
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.840
clean up the devastation. One of
those volunteers Zach Bryan, Nebraska native who

31
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:21.840
happened to be in the area for
his Quinton Time tour. Zach said,

32
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.280
as an American and someone who lived
in Omaha for some pretty formidable years,

33
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.439
I want to offer some honest prayers
and hopes to the communities affected by the

34
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.919
tornadoes that tour through them. The
band and I are standing with you guys

35
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.120
as we're playing some shows in Omaha. I'm sorry to anyone who's having to

36
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.199
deal with picking up the pieces of
their homes and their lives without taking credit

37
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:39.840
from the thousands of people lending a
hand who have roots here. We love

38
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:44.000
you so much and we'll do all
we can do to help. On Facebook,

39
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.800
Mandy wrote, I can't say I'm
a country music fan or a Zach

40
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.120
Bryan fan, but I will call
myself a fan now due to his serving

41
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.520
heart off the stage, I like
this next guy, my kind of guy.

42
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:58.680
He got annoyed at random members of
the public cutting across his lawn so

43
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.199
what did he do? He said, up an automatic sprinkler on his lawn.

44
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:06.360
Any time somebody who stepped on his
lawn, the sprinklers went off.

45
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:13.560
He shared this on TikTok fifty million
views. Not everyone agrees with Johnny Mack.

46
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:15.840
One person commented, how is this
hurting you? It's grass? Chill

47
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:23.960
out, all right? I keep
this program clean. This next story is

48
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.800
just a hair naughty. I will
keep it clean, and I will wink

49
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.000
at the microphone to let you know
about the naughty part. All right,

50
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.719
So stay with me here. But
if you're sensitive, I don't want to

51
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.879
betray our trust here. But this
is fun. Have you been paying attention

52
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.520
to the Internet has been trying to
figure out this song? Back in twenty

53
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.800
twenty one, a user named Carl
ninety two posted a seventeen second snippet of

54
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:51.719
an eighties style music song, and
they were trying to figure out what it

55
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.400
was. Carl ninety two said they
found the clip between a bunch of very

56
00:03:54.439 --> 00:04:00.120
old files and a DVD backup.
The song sounds very very eighties, and

57
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.599
people started calling it Everyone knows that. At least forty eight thousand people in

58
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:06.400
a subreddit trying to figure out,
all right, what is this song?

59
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.919
People look through their archives. They're
trying to figure out the artist the album.

60
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.680
The recording studio TikToker has made fake
videos in eighty SCARB imagining themselves as

61
00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:19.600
their moms and aunts jamming to the
track. Back in the days, conspiracy

62
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:24.360
theories claimed the song was either AI
generated it or some sort of viral marketing

63
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:28.800
stunt for a modern indie band.
Rolling Stone magazine and The Guardian got involved.

64
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.519
The Internet decided the title of the
song was ulterior motives. The phrase

65
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:38.040
appears in the seventeen second clip.
Well, the mystery has been solved.

66
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:43.399
One dinnerate user here comes to the
naughty part. Went through their collection of

67
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.720
films that they have, and you
can find the song at the one hour

68
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:55.040
seven minute mark in a movie titled
Angels of Passion. You're paying attention Angels

69
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:59.639
of Passion from nineteen eighty six.
The description two angels are sent back to

70
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:08.000
Earth to provide some satisfaction to the
humans. Oh holy, So we know

71
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.079
where the song is. And those
are five good news stories for today.

72
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.879
If you enjoy the program, tell
a friend about it. They might like

73
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:16.600
