Five Uplifting Stories: From the World's Ugliest Lawn to a Moose Rescue
In this episode, Johnny Mac presents five interesting stories from around the globe. Among these is the story of an Australian woman who won the world's ugliest lawn competition that was established to encourage water conservation. We get to hear about a couple in New Brunswick who teamed with peace officers to rescue a moose that had fallen into a river, as well as an update on the anticipated double emergence of cicadas in the U.S. for the first time since Thomas Jefferson was president. The news also includes a giraffe named Benito's relocation to a larger park in Mexico following animal rights advocates' pressure. Lastly, a quirky tale about a woman who inherits her grandmother’s breast implants after her cremation is recounted.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.160
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
shunning Mack with five new stories. Congratulations

2
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:17.320
to an Australian woman. Her bandicoots
ravaged yard was dubbed the winner of the

3
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:22.519
World's Ugliest Lawn competition. Kathleen,
you are the winner. The town of

4
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:27.000
Gotland, Sweden, started this contest
two years ago to encourage locals to conserve

5
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:30.800
water. The contest went global,
with lawns in the US, Canada,

6
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:36.640
Britain, Germany, France and Croatia
competing for unesthetic honors. Kathleen's lawn features

7
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:41.359
sparse patches of yellow grass, shrivel
plants, and dry divits caused by local

8
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:45.159
bandicoots. She tells The Guardian.
The bandicoots love digging, That's how they

9
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.759
find a favorite food. Now my
backyard looks like a real life Hungry Hungry

10
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:53.920
Hippo game. She was awarded a
pre owned T shirt with the phrase proud

11
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.359
owner of the World's Ugliest lawn,
I might nominate some of my neighbors.

12
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.640
Did I say that I'm sorry?
A New Brunswick couple teamed up with some

13
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.640
peace officers to rescue a moose.
You didn't think I was gonna say moose.

14
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:07.079
You thought I I was gonna say, dog, didn't you No moose

15
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.040
that fell into a river couldn't get
back out. Joline and Claude were out

16
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.480
for a drive they spotted a moose
that had fallen through the ice into a

17
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:18.239
river. Jolene told the CBC when
she spotted us, she tried to get

18
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:19.040
up, and all she could do
was slip and fall back into the ice.

19
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.159
She couldn't get a grip. We
know if we didn't help her get

20
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:23.920
out, she probably wouldn't be able
to make it. She posted a series

21
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:29.079
of videos on Facebook showing her husband
venturing out to get on the ice and

22
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:33.439
putting a strap around the moose's back
leg. This is like, I mean,

23
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:36.239
i'd call someone. I wouldn't be
like, I'll get the moose out.

24
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:38.599
Joline says that moose was eventually able
to stand on its own. I

25
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.680
don't know if she knew she was
being rescued and it was gonna be a

26
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.319
happy ending for her, but she
was just super calm. All right,

27
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:46.799
good news feel like cicadas. Now. When I was a kid, I

28
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.560
couldn't stand cicadas. I lived in
New York City and I don't know when

29
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:51.959
I was like seven, the cicada
noise would driving me nuts. Now I

30
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.719
live in the suburbs, I love
it. I can't get enough cicadas.

31
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.840
I find them so entertaining, especially
when there's like lots of them and they're

32
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.200
all over Well. This spring both
brewed. Oh I got to do Roman

33
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:07.879
numerals here. Let's say night brood
nineteen and brood thirteen will both emerge this

34
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:13.520
spring XIX and XIII, and catch
you're curious. The last time the cicada

35
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.080
showed up at the same time in
the US, Thomas Jefferson was the president.

36
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.159
If you're in the Midwest or the
southeast, they'll be more plentiful than

37
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:24.800
ever, at least since the Louisiana
purchase. You see, the Northern Illinois

38
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:29.240
brood is on a seventeen year cycle. The Great Southern brood is on a

39
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:31.879
thirteen year cycle. If you miss
it this spring, it'll be another two

40
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:36.759
hundred and twenty one years before that
math works out again. The cicadas will

41
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.080
start to appear in late April.
They will use their fore legs to tunnel

42
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.879
out from the earth. Their beady
red eye is looking for a spot where

43
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.960
they can peacefully finish maturing a few
days is later, the mails will start

44
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:52.599
buzzing trying to find a mate.
Doctor Floyd Shockley from the Entomology Collections Committee

45
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:59.199
at the Smithsonian great name doctor Floyd
Shockley. Doctor Schlockley says the dual emergence

46
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:04.599
will result in more than one trillion
cicadas appearing in the roughly sixteenth state area.

47
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.400
Were you to put one trillion cicadas
in a line end to end,

48
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:12.719
it would cover fifteen million, seven
hundred and eighty two eight and twenty eight

49
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.000
miles. Now, if you're wondering
how long that is, doctor Shockley tells

50
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:20.960
us that cicada train would reach to
the moon and back thirty three times.

51
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.039
A four year old giraffe named Benito
is at his new home and a large

52
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:30.439
animal park in central Mexico. Benito
was transferred following pressure from animal advocates.

53
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:35.039
He had spent the last year totally
alone at a dusty city park in siadad

54
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.639
Horez. He was transferred on a
crate in the back of a flatbed truck.

55
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:43.080
Frank Camacho is the director of the
Safari Park and says he's been alone

56
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.319
for a long time. It's going
to take a few days to introduce him

57
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:46.280
to the rest of the herd.
But even so, we believe this is

58
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.879
a very stable herd and they'll accept
him. It all depends on Benito how

59
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.759
he interacts with the herd. And
I'll leave you with this one. A

60
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.800
woman was kind of surprised grandma passed
away and was cremated, and the mortician

61
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.039
said, do you want her breast
implants? You didn't think I was gonna

62
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.240
say that, did you know?
You didn't think that at all. Normally,

63
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:10.960
non metal materials are not removed before
cremation, but the funeral home decided

64
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:14.159
to take them out anyway. The
woman said farewell to Grandma, and then

65
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:15.959
a team member from the funeral home
took her side was like, do you

66
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.360
want the breast implants? The woman
updated on TikTok and said, my aunt

67
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:23.639
has them now in the box they
put them in. An expert on cremation

68
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:28.879
on TikTok said, if a female's
breast implants, they're not removed. Eventually

69
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.120
the body decomposes and becomes a skeleton
with fake boobs. And that's your five

70
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:36.240
good news stories today. Hope you

71
