00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:09.800
Caalaroka Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five

2
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:11.640
canoe stories. So for most of the summer I was

3
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:12.759
telling you about that. You know, there are a bunch

4
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:14.960
of guys that are going back and forth trading who

5
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.359
has the most Guinness World Records. Well, the Washington Post

6
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.920
profiled David Rush. He had one hundred and eighty one

7
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:24.280
Guinness World Records at the time of the article. He

8
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:25.760
says he was looking for a way to share a

9
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:28.559
message about perseverance when he came up with a zany idea.

10
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:30.839
He'd teach himself how to juggle blindfolded and go for

11
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:33.399
the Guinness World record. He broke the record in twenty

12
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.359
fifteen with a time of six minutes and thirty four seconds.

13
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:40.399
He then decided winning one record wasn't enough. He wanted

14
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:42.719
to break as many records as he could. The Washington

15
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:45.039
Post writes, Catch fifty nine morshmallows in his mouth in

16
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:47.240
less than one minute, no problem. Balance one hundred and

17
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:50.560
one toilet paper rolls on his head. Sure. Earlier this year,

18
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.039
he broke the world record for bursting the most balloons

19
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.799
with chopsticks in one minute. Guinness says they no longer

20
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.679
monitor who has the record for most broken records, but

21
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.759
Rush said he knew that they in Italy. Silvio also

22
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:04.799
had one hundred and eighty concurrent world record titles. On

23
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.719
January thirtieth, Rush documented his one hundred and eighty first record.

24
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.200
He smashed fifty five vinyl records in thirty seconds. We've

25
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:14.239
learned how you submit for this. You can either have

26
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.359
an official Guiness representative come on site or you have

27
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.879
volunteer timers and witnesses. Then you submit official paperwork, videos

28
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.200
and photos to Guinness. Silvio the Italian Dude. He has

29
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.439
more than two hundred Guinness records, but about twenty of

30
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.480
them were later broken by other people. Employees at Guinness

31
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:32.680
World Records in London took note when Rush showed up

32
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.200
at their offices early the summer and broke fifteen records

33
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.719
in one day, including fastest time to drink a leader

34
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.200
of lime juice through a straw. I'm glad it's through

35
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:43.879
a straw, not just you know the regular record, that

36
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.879
world title thirteen point nine to nine seconds, just under

37
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:50.680
the fourteen second mark. People thought that would never be broken,

38
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.159
he said. I threw up immediately afterward. All right. What's

39
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.159
the opposite of that story? John Well, expert on fung guy,

40
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.680
has spent a decade trying to discover the identity behind

41
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:04.359
a deserved and mislabeled specimen in an Australian collection. Tom

42
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:08.360
May works at the National Herbarium in Melbourne, Australia. There

43
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:10.800
was a donation to the Herbarium by the Royal Botanic

44
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.840
Gordons in Victoria. In it, doctor May found some small,

45
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:19.039
shriveled mushroom samples bearing an untraceable name. He opened the

46
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:21.800
blue packet a decade ago, hasn't been able to figure

47
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.599
it out. He did find a book from eighteen oh

48
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.719
five published in Latin. Then we get into the weeds here,

49
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.319
Doctor May said. Finding the book was sort of like

50
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.919
putting bits together of a jigsaw. Doctor May's sample appears

51
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.479
as number seven in the two hundred year old book.

52
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.840
Doctor May has been recognized internationally as a Fellow of

53
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:45.560
the International Mycological Association. Congratulations Sir, good news for dolphin

54
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.080
that was stranded on a beach near Cape Town, South

55
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.280
African rugby legend Percy Montgomery. He led the team to

56
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:52.960
victory at the two thousand and seven World Cup. He

57
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.840
was hanging out on the beach, he saw dolphin in distress.

58
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.199
He stopped his car rush down the close to the beach.

59
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.120
He grabbed the slippery dolphin and waded through the surf

60
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.479
to put it back in the ocean. However, the dolphins

61
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.919
seemed disoriented and quickly washed back on the shore. So

62
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.520
Montgomery tried again. And as far as we know, the

63
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:12.280
dolphin is out there somewhere safely swimming. Meanwhile, I got

64
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.000
to hit the museum more often. A French museum has

65
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.080
announced that members of the public are being invited to

66
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.080
view its exhibit on naturism while wearing nothing but shoes.

67
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.439
That's right. It's the more Sae Museum of European and

68
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:26.159
Mediterranean Civilizations, and they say nude patrons are being welcome

69
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:29.479
to pruise the Nature's Paradise exhibit in the nude on

70
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:33.960
designated dates once a month. Nudist Paradise is features hundreds

71
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:37.199
of pieces of art from nature'st communities, including paintings, sculptures,

72
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.400
photographs and films. But why do I have to wear shoes?

73
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:45.439
An official says it's to avoid getting splinters. Danie is

74
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.439
a new father for the second time. He said everything

75
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:49.879
could have gone wrong, and everything went right. Alret his wife,

76
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.960
Rebecca was pregnant. She felt the contractions coming on. They

77
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.039
hopped in the car. It was a fifty six minute

78
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.120
drive in the summertime traffic near Cape Cod to get

79
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.560
to Plymouth. Her water broke. Baby Summer was born there

80
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.280
on the highway. Then they sped off to the hospital

81
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.000
with their newborn wrapped in a blanket. But wait, there's more.

82
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:11.039
At the hospital, Dad noticed his wedding band was gone.

83
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:13.120
A couple days later, he returned to the highway to

84
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:14.639
see maybe it was on the side of the road

85
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.639
where the baby was born. He told WCVB. Just as

86
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.120
we were about to leave, I looked down him. By

87
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.480
the grace of God, I found it right between my toes.

88
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:23.920
I was scraping some grass away and I couldn't believe it.

89
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.920
Everything could have gone wrong, and everything went right. And

90
