00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.919
Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Chinny Mack with five

2
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:13.640
good news stories. Good news, we got the moose out

3
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:15.800
of the pool. Now I know you're like Johnny Mack

4
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:18.120
this time of year. Why is the pool even open?

5
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:21.239
Oh no, it wasn't open. Police and firefighters in New

6
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:25.199
Hampshire responded to an unusual call a moose was trapped

7
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.199
in a pool. A video shot by police shows rescuers

8
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:31.399
removing a pool covering after arriving at the home to

9
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.039
reveal the adult moose standing on the water. After the

10
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:36.560
cover was removed, the moose strolled out of the shallow

11
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.039
end and headed to the woods. Hey, good news. If

12
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.079
there's an asteroid heading to destroy the Earth, scientists have

13
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:45.640
demonstrated how a nuclear blast could deflect an asteroid on

14
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.479
a collision course with Earth. The experiment was conducted by

15
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:52.119
physicists who showed that radiation from a nuclear blast could

16
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.200
vaporize part of an asteroid surface, creating a gas that

17
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.320
pushes it off course. The method could protect the Earth

18
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:01.240
from large asteroids. I'll add, if you see the asteroid coming,

19
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:03.880
that's a big part of the challenge here. Researchers are

20
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.200
working on ways to shield the Earth from massive impacts

21
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.359
given the potentially existential nature of the threat. Yes after

22
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.920
the destruction of Hurricane Helene, the storm surge climbed to

23
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.200
fifteen feet above a ground level. The disaster took a

24
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:21.640
toll on Florida's sea cows, leaving countless manatees stranded throughout

25
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.319
the state in city streets. The Florida Fish and Wildlife

26
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:29.200
Conservation Commission launch an action to save them, they posted

27
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.239
on their Facebook page, and collaboration with the public and

28
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.680
a network of partners, our biologists have been responding to

29
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.400
reports of stranded manatees caused by Helene. They point out

30
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:39.719
the top priority has been to help residents and visitors

31
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:41.920
of Florida recover from the impacts of Helene. We're also

32
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.760
working swiftly to rehabilitate and conserve these gentle giants. It

33
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.280
may take months or years to restore the waterways that

34
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.280
manatees call home back to what they once were. When

35
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:54.560
Florida resident posted, seeing this after seeing so much damage

36
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:58.000
and destruction really warms my heart. I'll just point out

37
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:00.480
on the day that this episode was originally published, big

38
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.560
Hurricane was heading towards Tampa. Hope everyone remains safe. A

39
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.400
thirteen year old rescue dog has saved her eighty four

40
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.800
year old owner. The dog led police to the injured

41
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.199
man in his own home. Nice job by Gita, who

42
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.039
was sitting in the middle of the road. Deputy Right

43
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.120
from the Stevens County Sheriff's Office came by and tried

44
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:21.719
to get the dog into his vehicle so he could

45
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:23.680
attempt to find the owner, but the dog would not

46
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.960
get in. Right proceeded to check the surrounding area within

47
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.879
a mile. Couldn't find an owner. Right since something was wrong,

48
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:31.800
he went back to the dog, which was now laying

49
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.199
in the center line of the road. The dog took

50
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:38.000
off and walked up an unmarked roadway. Deputy Right followed

51
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.039
the dog. It led him to a small summer cabin.

52
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.080
Right checked around the area and found an elderly man

53
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.199
lying on the ground calling for help. Police said the

54
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.280
eighty four year old male, who also had other medical

55
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.439
conditions needing regular medications, had fallen and injured his leg.

56
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.759
He'd been there for hours and may have had serious

57
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.800
consequences if he hadn't been found. Gita is a thirteen

58
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:58.800
year old rescue dog and the best friend of the

59
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.360
man in trouble. Authorready said, we credit Gita for saving

60
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.520
his life that day. The loyalty and heroism of our

61
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:08.439
furry friends never sees the stew A mazes. All right,

62
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.199
Johnny Mack's got another Guinness World Record for you. The

63
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:15.360
record is throwing twenty eight metal chopsticks into an archery target.

64
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:18.680
That's right now. The scientists have solved climate change and

65
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:22.280
we're working on important things like this. David Rush, that's

66
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.400
the guy that breaks records that I tell you about frequently.

67
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.639
He originally broke the record in twenty twenty by throwing

68
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:31.039
nineteen chopsticks in one minute. His record was beaten by

69
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:33.599
somebody who hit twenty one. Rush was like, ah, I

70
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:35.800
got to take that back, he said. The titles difficult

71
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.240
because he has to stand more than thirteen feet away

72
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.960
from the target and had to hit the two innermost

73
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.000
colors on the standard archery target for a hit to count.

74
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.280
His very first chopstick throw hit the exact center of

75
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.319
the bull's eye. Who glad to hear that. In the end,

76
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.560
he now holds the record by throwing twenty eight metal

77
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.080
chopsticks into an archery target. And those are your five

78
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.719
good news stories for today. Don't forget. We're now doing

79
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.240
Chris stories on Saturdays, and I'll be back with a

80
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:04.759
regular episode on Friday. Have a good one.
