The World's Ugliest Dog

0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. Congratulations to Wild Thang. I guess Wild Thang you are the world's Ugliest Dog. Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Wild Thang and eight year old's Pekinese, was announced as the winner during the twenty twenty four World's Ugliest Dog Contest. Now what's interesting here to me is this was wild Thang's fourth attempt at winning the contest. So how does it work? Like? Once you win, you can't win again? Did the other dogs get better looking? Did Wildfang get worse looking? Who knows? Wildfang finished second three times before. Right, it was wild Thang's turn. He and his owner Ann walked away with five thousand dollars in prize money.

0:47 The Sonoma Marin Fair in California as hosted the World's Ugliest Dog Contest for nearly fifty years. The world renowned event celebrates the imperfections that make all dogs special and unique. Last year's winner, being out wild Thing, was seven year old Scooter, who had been born with deformed hind legs and was turned over to animal control by a breeder for euthanasia, but a member of the shelter, Linda, adopted him and they live happily in Tucson, Arizona. Good news in Corpus Christi. These scientists have figured out a plant that produces hydrogen from water using renewable electricity. The hydrogen is then converted into diesel for delivery trucks. Green hydrogen offers the potential to cut emissions from transportation. Wait, can you guys hear this? My dog fell asleep on my foot here listen. Very cute. Anyway, electric cars are the trend, but for big, heavy trucks that's not going to work just yet. So green hydrogen could help play a vital role in mitigating climate change. Here we go again, another Guinness World record. I'm not even looking for these. These just come to me. David Rush he's one of those serial record breakers. While he broke his own record for the second time by fist bumping a fellow YouTuber three hundred and ninety seven times in thirty seconds, he originally broke the record with his neighbor Jay. That record was two hundred and seventy three fist bumps.

2:04 Then he broke his own record when he and Howie Mandel fist bumped three hundred and eighty times on an episode of America's Got Talent. Then he went on Doctor Mike's podcast got the number up to three ninety seven and thirty seconds. However, taking that record from himself doesn't add to his total of most records, so he's still at one hundred and seventy seven. He's trying to catch up to the guy who has one hundred and eighty one. And I'm sure I'll be telling you about more records pretty soon. They are fun good news. I know who you stole your lunch. It was a bear. A black bear was caught on camera in California stealing a cooler from the back of a truck and having some lunch. Barry was in his cabin and recorded videos. The bear walked off with the cooler. He told Casey r ATV.

2:46 The bear got the cooler and ate the entire lunch by the deck. This one's pretty cool. An Italian retirement home had their annual gathering of centenarians. They too, broke again his world record. I didn't even realize accidentally put two world records in the one podcast. I try not to do that, but I'm leaving this in seventy people who are at least one hundred years old attended this year's event. Do you want to hear me butcher Italian? I think this translates to the Immaculate Opera Foundation, the Fondazione Opera Amacilatta nailed. It operates eleven retirement homes in Italy and they've been holding annual gatherings of centenarians for about fifteen years. This year's event broke the record for the largest gathering of centenarians, which was set by forty five people in Australia in twenty sixteen. And those are your five good news stories for today.
