00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.960
Calaroka Shark Media. Hey there, Johnny Mack. Five good news stories.

2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.080
A toilet maker has worn customers not to wipe the

3
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:18.199
seats with toilet paper. Okay, I'll play. Japanese toilet manufacturer

4
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:22.160
Toto has worn customers don't wipe the seats with toilet paper,

5
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:26.120
why it can cause scratches. A series of posts when

6
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:30.920
viral on social people complained about their new toilet seats,

7
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:34.119
quickly ending up with scratch works. The company explained that

8
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.359
the seats are made from plastic rosin for a reason.

9
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.280
We use the current rosin considering its resistance to detergents

10
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.240
at its ability to be molted into complex shapes makes sense,

11
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.200
So don't wipe them with toilet paper. Instead, use soft

12
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:50.039
damp cloths with diluted kitchen detergent. Dudes, that's a lot

13
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:51.719
of work get your toilet seats in order, will you.

14
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.359
The company says there are no plans to change the

15
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.840
material at this time. Good news. If you lost your

16
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.640
spider monkey that was wearing a two tu we found it.

17
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.359
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office reported on social media. The

18
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.000
deputies responded to the area of Highway twenty one and

19
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.400
am with reports of a subject monkeying around like what

20
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:13.920
I make of myself laugh to at this show, They

21
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.799
found a spider monkey dressed in what appeared to be

22
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.719
a tu tuo. After careful negotiations and some coaxing, deputies

23
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:22.599
were able to get close enough to get hands on

24
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.120
with the subject and bring this banana situation under control

25
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:28.599
without incident. Sounds like the police had fun with their statement.

26
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:32.480
Public Safety information coordinator Grant said the monkey actually approached

27
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.400
one of the deputies. The monkey actually kind of came

28
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.280
up and tucked down his pant leg, so they didn't

29
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.000
really know what to do. He squatted down, was trying

30
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:39.920
to offer some sort of safety, and then the monkey

31
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:41.959
reached out and grabbed his hands and he said, Okay,

32
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.760
I guess we'll just stand here together until we figure

33
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.680
out what to do. Turned out the monkey lived nearby

34
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.640
and was returned safely home. A Chinese man has a

35
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.000
unique skill set and he broke a pair of Guinness

36
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.760
World records. What were the records, Johnny Mack. It was

37
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.040
the record for using hand thrown playing cards to slice

38
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:04.120
cucumbers and to light matches. Jang Yazoo told Guinness that

39
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.879
he cultivated his skills by playing with sling shots and

40
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.800
skipping stones as a child. He started throwing cards in college.

41
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:12.960
He used cards to slice through forty one cucumbers in

42
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.520
sixty seconds. Moments later, he earned his second title by

43
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.919
lighting twenty nine matches with his thrown cards. Jao says

44
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:22.680
he's experimenting with new techniques to increase the distance of

45
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.159
his throws and is hoping to take on more challenging

46
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.400
records in the future. I think he would make an

47
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.960
awesome James Bond villain. Good news for a man in Maryland.

48
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.000
He won fifty thousand dollars from a bonus Match five

49
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.439
lottery drawing. He had lost the ticket. He says he

50
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.400
loses tickets all the time, but he found the ticket

51
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.400
in a file container mere days before it would have expired,

52
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.159
and found out that one of the nearly expired tickets

53
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.120
had scored fifty thousand dollars. Another line earned him an

54
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.240
additional four hundred. He says he will use his prize

55
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:55.080
money to pay bills and boost his savings. The Saskatchewan

56
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:58.639
Police have shared some of the nine to eleven emergency

57
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:02.280
calls they got in twenty twenty four. They included number

58
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:05.080
ten a not so tech savvy individual who called nine

59
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.439
to one one to advise that they didn't recognize someone

60
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:11.120
on their social media friend list. Another called the police

61
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.159
to say that their parents were forcing them to clean

62
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:16.719
their room. Number eight, a fox wandering the neighborhood is

63
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.280
scaring a local cat. Number seven reported bees inside their house.

64
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.919
Six asked the police to help unlock their cell phone.

65
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:26.520
Number five told the police someone had thrown ice cream

66
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.400
on the ground. Number four reported their cat was being

67
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.840
mean and asked for a police officer to come help

68
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.479
with the situation. Number three, hey, can you come help

69
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.919
with this malfunctioning washing machine? Number two needed help with

70
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.240
a math problem, and according to the Saskatchewan Police, the

71
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.919
number one call came from a resident who reported someone

72
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.439
had taken their tambourine during a party. The police remind

73
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:49.759
