0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Chinny Mack with five good news stories. Good news, we got the moose out of the pool. Now I know you're like Johnny Mack this time of year. Why is the pool even open? Oh no, it wasn't open. Police and firefighters in New Hampshire responded to an unusual call a moose was trapped in a pool. A video shot by police shows rescuers removing a pool covering after arriving at the home to reveal the adult moose standing on the water. After the cover was removed, the moose strolled out of the shallow end and headed to the woods. Hey, good news. If there's an asteroid heading to destroy the Earth, scientists have demonstrated how a nuclear blast could deflect an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. The experiment was conducted by physicists who showed that radiation from a nuclear blast could vaporize part of an asteroid surface, creating a gas that pushes it off course. The method could protect the Earth from large asteroids. I'll add, if you see the asteroid coming, that's a big part of the challenge here. Researchers are working on ways to shield the Earth from massive impacts given the potentially existential nature of the threat. Yes after the destruction of Hurricane Helene, the storm surge climbed to fifteen feet above a ground level. The disaster took a toll on Florida's sea cows, leaving countless manatees stranded throughout the state in city streets. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission launch an action to save them, they posted on their Facebook page, and collaboration with the public and a network of partners, our biologists have been responding to

1:33 reports of stranded manatees caused by Helene. They point out the top priority has been to help residents and visitors of Florida recover from the impacts of Helene. We're also working swiftly to rehabilitate and conserve these gentle giants. It may take months or years to restore the waterways that manatees call home back to what they once were. When Florida resident posted, seeing this after seeing so much damage and destruction really warms my heart. I'll just point out on the day that this episode was originally published, big Hurricane was heading towards Tampa. Hope everyone remains safe. A thirteen year old rescue dog has saved her eighty four year old owner. The dog led police to the injured man in his own home. Nice job by Gita, who was sitting in the middle of the road. Deputy Right from the Stevens County Sheriff's Office came by and tried to get the dog into his vehicle so he could attempt to find the owner, but the dog would not get in. Right proceeded to check the surrounding area within a mile. Couldn't find an owner. Right since something was wrong, he went back to the dog, which was now laying in the center line of the road. The dog took off and walked up an unmarked roadway. Deputy Right followed the dog. It led him to a small summer cabin.

2:40 Right checked around the area and found an elderly man lying on the ground calling for help. Police said the eighty four year old male, who also had other medical conditions needing regular medications, had fallen and injured his leg. He'd been there for hours and may have had serious consequences if he hadn't been found. Gita is a thirteen year old rescue dog and the best friend of the man in trouble. Authorready said, we credit Gita for saving his life that day. The loyalty and heroism of our furry friends never sees the stew A mazes. All right, Johnny Mack's got another Guinness World Record for you. The record is throwing twenty eight metal chopsticks into an archery target. That's right now. The scientists have solved climate change and we're working on important things like this. David Rush, that's the guy that breaks records that I tell you about frequently.

3:24 He originally broke the record in twenty twenty by throwing nineteen chopsticks in one minute. His record was beaten by somebody who hit twenty one. Rush was like, ah, I got to take that back, he said. The titles difficult because he has to stand more than thirteen feet away from the target and had to hit the two innermost colors on the standard archery target for a hit to count. His very first chopstick throw hit the exact center of the bull's eye. Who glad to hear that. In the end, he now holds the record by throwing twenty eight metal chopsticks into an archery target. And those are your five good news stories for today. Don't forget. We're now doing Chris stories on Saturdays, and I'll be back with a regular episode on Friday. Have a good one.
