There's a Snake in my Margarita!

0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five figure stories. Nice job by Matt. He treked fifty three miles to raise funds and awareness for endangered species. Oh and I forgot to tell you he did the fifty three miles dressed as a giant bird. It wasn't just any bird. It was a ten foot long handmade costume of the Eurasian curlew, which, as you know, is Europe's largest wading bird, known for its thin, lengthy beak and declining population. Matt's costume was made out of polystyrene and bamboo, and he headed out on April twenty first, which is World's Curlew Day. The Earth has been celebrating World Curlew Day since twenty seventeen to raise awareness about habitat loss, land, used changes and climate change, which are all impacting the bird.

0:55 I'm actually like a big, big environment guy. I'm all about conservation, helping the animals. But it is the story about a guy dressed as a bird, Matt said, does who know me? Well? No, I was eventually going to building giant curlew. She's a real beauty. I wanted to represent curlew as well, because there's such a beautiful bird. It took two days. Matt was a little worried about the wind because the costume is pretty light, but it all worked out in the end. Congratulations to Liezel. She has set a Guinness World record. She has assembled a one thousand and thirty five piece collection of Despicable Me minions. It took fifteen years, she explains. They're in every room and on every spare wall. The back of her car is filled with minions. And when to stop the traffic lights, I see people pointing and laughing and all the minions in my car. Some people call her Minion Lady. She even has a minion tattoo. So many people and kids comment on the tattoo and we start talking about our mutual love of minions. I remember laughing so much at the cute little pill shaped henchmen. They certainly made a huge impression on me. That's an understatement. Good job by a Florida woman. She protected herself and her small dog from a bay. How do you protect yourself from a bear?

2:02 You throw the bear a bag of cookies. This is unofficial advice. Please don't take bear fending off advice from a guy in his basement doing goofy stories on a podcast. Please consult bear experts if ever confronted by a bear. Do not take my advice. But Kristin was out whether chihuahua Ringo. I love these stories. The devil's always in the detail. So Kristin and Ringo the chihuahua are out there, and there's a bear. Kristin told the News. I heard a bird. I was looking for a bird in a tree, and then I saw a black thing come up my leg. I thought it was an awf leash dog at first, and then I realized it was a giant head. The bear was particularly interested in Ringo, the thirteen pound chihuahua. Kristin said, I hauled him like a pinana in the air, and I spun around to get away. She kept spinning to keep ring away from the bear. She fell got some scraps my mom, she lives down the street. She just stopped and handed me a bag of cookies for my kids. I remember to have them in my hand.

2:54 I took the bag. I whacked the bear across the face with the cookies, and then I threw them. The bear came for She sniffed, and she put her head down, sniffed the cookies, and we ran to the front door. Kristin has a good attitude. She has no problem with the bear, she says, I don't put blame on the bear. I'm sure she was just as scared as I was.

The highway was closed for several hours while the dot crews cleaned up the loose change of That is a lot to pick up. And why did it have to be snakes? A snake? It fell from the restaurant's ceiling, landing in a margarita. Oh no, A Virginia woman was out. You know you're having a margarita. You're enjoying your drink. You have some Mexican food at the canteena or let, it sold the news. I leaned in to take a sip and I noticed something hitting me in the forehead. I looked at my husband, like, what is that? When I turned around, I saw the snake in my margarita. It was moving. It started wrapping around my straw. Restaurant workers attempted to get the snake to wrap itself around a stick, but ultimately another customer grabbed this snake and took it outside. The restaurant offered to move her to another table, but she was like no, I'm okay. She added, She's not going out to eat anytime soon. Hey, those are your five good news stories for today.
