00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:09.720
Kalaroka Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five

2
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:12.519
good news stories. A man in France has donated his

3
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:15.679
field so it can be made into an orchard. Michael

4
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:18.519
inherited a large empty field in western France, and he

5
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:21.839
didn't think much of it was overgrown with weeds. No

6
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.399
one in his family had any interest in doing anything

7
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.160
with it. He had the idea to donate the entire

8
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:30.440
land to the town, provided the mayor and council promise

9
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:33.159
to turn it into a fruit orchard and community Gordon.

10
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.320
The town population has five hundred and sixty bucks, and

11
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:37.799
he told them, you know, if I give you the

12
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:39.920
land and you develop, but it's gonna cost you guys

13
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.600
like twelve grand. They went for it. Michael says, there

14
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.840
are apple trees, pear trees, and plum trees, and now

15
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:48.479
we'll let them grow. We'll monitor the diseases, we'll take

16
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:50.039
care of the soil, and then people will come to

17
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:52.079
pick their own apples they wor make jam or whatever

18
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.719
you want to do. It'll take about four years before

19
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:58.520
the first harvests. Meanwhile, in Poland, we found your emu.

20
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.600
The poor emu ran away after the fireworks forestry officials

21
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.920
from the Goruland Forest District said a hiker spotted an

22
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:10.280
ostrich like bird wandering along a nature trail. The hiker

23
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.239
captured video of the animal. The bird wouldn't let anyone

24
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:15.840
get close and deeper into the woods. A search launched

25
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.000
the following day and they figured out it was an

26
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.439
emu named Fabists Fabist. The emo had escaped from his

27
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:25.480
owner's property after those pesky fireworks. Officials say the emu

28
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:29.200
ran two miles into the forest. The poor emu eventually

29
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:31.920
wound up cold, retired, and hungry, and a rescuer is

30
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.799
to approach him. The emu was very calm and trusting.

31
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.480
Everyone is back home safe. That's good. Here's the opposite

32
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:40.439
of the life I've been living. You know how cold

33
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:42.719
it's been this winter. While down in Rio in the

34
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.400
Southern Hemisphere was summer. It was so hot. They had

35
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:48.840
to give the animals at the zoo popsicles to help

36
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:51.079
them cope with the heat. Right now, that sounds kind

37
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.519
of nice, not kidding, man that the Biopark Zoo in Rio,

38
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.760
some jaguars, monkeys, and other animals received popsicles and iced meals.

39
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.359
Zoo official said the froze and foods arranged from fruit

40
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:05.560
based treats for primates to mixtures containing frozen blood or

41
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:10.240
ground meat for carnivores. Zookeepers handed watermelon popsicles to monkeys.

42
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:14.240
A jaguar was eating some frozen chicken. Rio had recorded

43
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:18.319
temperatures above one hundred and four degrees that prompted city

44
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.360
officials to issue a Level three heat alert and break

45
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.439
out the popsicles. You never know what you're gonna find

46
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.199
out there when you're hiking. Could be an emu or

47
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.120
you run into. The sixty six year old man who

48
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.199
had been missing in the backcountry of New Zealand for

49
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.319
over two weeks, they found him. Yeah. Graham was discovered

50
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:34.560
sheltering in a hut in the middle of the National

51
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:37.080
Park by a crew of contractors who were working in

52
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.960
the area. He had gone hiking and didn't return as expected.

53
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.400
Search and rescue went looking for him and they're like, yeah,

54
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:45.960
I can't find them. After two weeks they were like oh.

55
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.680
Local police made a statement and said this is an

56
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.520
amazing result. We're pleased for him and his loved ones.

57
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.560
Obviously he's been through quite an ordeal and everyone involved

58
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:56.199
in the search is delighted to hear that he's been

59
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.560
found alive. If you like this program and you're like,

60
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:01.240
you know what to be even better John is if

61
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:03.560
you didn't have those commercials. I get it. I hear you.

62
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:05.840
Have you seen my heating bill? So what you want

63
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:07.400
to do is you want to open up the Apple

64
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.000
podcast app and there it says uninterrupted listening, and if

65
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.240
you click on that, then for five bucks a month,

66
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.719
you'll get this show and a bunch of others on

67
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.319
the channel, including daily Comedy News which I host seven

68
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.560
days a week in Palace Intrigue about the royal family,

69
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.080
and five daily trivia questions and a bunch of others,

70
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.520
all for that same five bucks, no commercials, and that

71
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:27.560
all comes with a thirty day free trial. So why

72
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:31.319
not try that out? The TSA released the list of

73
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:36.199
most unusual items left at airport security. The list includes

74
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.039
a replica of a bomb, not a good idea and

75
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.919
turtles in a bra not a good idea, but in

76
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.199
a different way. As for the replica bomb, a TSA

77
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.680
explosive specialist responded and access the image and had to

78
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.319
do a bag search and found PVC pipes and wooden

79
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.800
blocks wrapped in paper marked C four who thought that

80
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:57.560
was a good idea to bring that on a plane.

81
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.120
The explosives expert determine the ie were replicas and not

82
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.319
a threat. The passenger said the items were training aids

83
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.919
and was like, yeah, you guys keep them point, I

84
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.319
don't know about that. The TSA made it clear realistic

85
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.759
replicas of explosives are not allowed and checked or carry

86
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.439
on bags. All right. For the rest of the list,

87
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:19.879
Some turtles were found in the pants of a traveler.

88
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:23.680
Some more turtles found in a bra. Apparently turtle smuggling

89
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.959
is a thing. One guy tried to bring a knife

90
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.000
and a knee brace in Illinois. Some others had pills

91
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.800
in a shampoo bottle. Somebody tried a knife in a

92
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.600
car seat. Somebody brought bullets in a bottle of ness quick,

93
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.720
a gun in a golf bag, and the old bullets

94
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.439
and knives concealed in tinfoil. In Ohio, people what are

95
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.120
you doing? And those say you are five good news

96
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:44.800
stories for today. You have an awesome day.
