150-year-old bottle of beer tastes pretty ok
Johnny Mac presents five stories: Tom’s Eiffel Tower proposal to Taylor is nearly ruined when a woman with a selfie stick blocks their hidden phone, but the stranger’s own video captures the couple hugging, kissing and showing the ring. In London, Rose alleges a neighbor ripped out her fence, cut into her decking and hot tub enclosure, and moved a new fence over a meter into her garden; police called it civil, but a boundary survey says her original fence was correct and she’s working with the land registry. In Southern Arizona, an endangered jaguar is spotted at a watering hole, the fifth in 15 years. In Utah, archaeologists find an intact ~150-year-old bottle of alcohol and experts say it appears to be a low-alcohol beer they hope to recreate. In Wilmington, North Carolina, Zeke Smash donates 5% of profits to childhood cancer charities.

0:03 Calaroka Shark Media. Oh No, a man's proposal in front of the Eiffel Tower didn't work out after a stranger accidentally blocked the camera he had set up to record the phonement, Oh no, don't worry. This is five good News stories and I'm Johnny MAXI. There's Tom. He's proposing to Taylor in front of the Eiffel Tower. He had positioned his phone behind them, telling Taylor was there to catch the lights, and then he got down on one knee. However, when they reviewed the footage, they found that a woman nearby holding a selfie stick had stepped directly in front of the camera. After realizing what was going on, she pointed toward the couple and then moved closer and filmed herself with them in the background, blocking most of Tom's recording.
0:47 Taylor shared this on TikTok, going you just want to cute proposal video, but a lady with a selfie stick as other plans. But don't worry, it works out. Taylor shared footage filmed by the woman showing the couple hugging and kissing as she displayed ring. As she told her her fans on TikTok don't stress. We got this cute video later. Here's a question, is it my yard or your yard? Well in London, a woman says her neighbor has taken more than a meter of her garden by allegedly ripping out her fence and removing part of her decking and hot tub enclosure. Rose said she spent a lot of money in five months transforming her into the garden, adding a deck and a hot tub in time for her sixtieth birthday. But one day she gets home and finds the neighbor had removed the fence, cut into the decking and the hot tub surrounding, and erect at a new fence further inside her property. Oh no, Rose said, what began is my dream garden has turned into a living nightmare. But she says, I won't stop until what's mine is finally respected. I do have a little sympathy for him, because he honestly thinks it's his land, but just the way he's gone about it is vile. He just doesn't stop. I just want to be able to relax in my garden with my family. I had the opposite problem. My neighbor put up a fence and I like I think I gained the land, but now I have to mow the land that's on my side of the fence, and it's like annoying land of Mode'd rather have just claimed it. Yeah, Rose said, he cut out a bit of our garden. I didn't believe what was happening.
2:07 Who does that? The neighbor ripped out my fence. He sought about a meter off my garden at a slope and took five wooden planks from the hot tub. He left all my hard work ruined. I couldn't believe that someone could do such a thing to someone's property. She went to the police and they were like, yeah, it's a silver matter. But recently, Rose says a professional boundary survey confirmed her fence was correct and that her neighbor's fence is on her land. She's now working with the Land Registry to figure out what happens next. Good Luck A jaguar was spotted at a watering hole in southern Arizona. That's the fifth endangered jaguar found in the region over the past fifteen years. Susan works for the University of Arizona as Wildcat Research and Conservation Center, and Susan says We're very excited. It signifies this edge population of jaguars continues to come here because they're finding what they need.
2:57 The species is recovering. We still have a chance to get it right and keep these quarridors open. Jaguars are the only big cat native to the Americans and are the third largest cat species in the world after tigers and the lions. In Utah, an archaeological team exhoomed a bottle of alcohol estimated to be one hundred and fifty years old, and they gave it a taste test. The bottle was part of thousands of artifacts dating back to around eighteen seventy and eighteen ninety found on US Forest Service land used by a ski resort. Ian Wright is the Utah State Public Archaeologist. He said when they picked it up was still full of out of cork in it. He says it's the only known intact bottle of alcohol to be found from the time period. He explained they sometimes find them in Missouri and in places where the mississippis shifted and there's been a sunken boat or ship, but never in Utah. We rarely find a bottle with a cork at all, or If we do find one, the cork shriveled up and shrunk inside of it or just fragments of it, so that's pretty rare. Isaac Winter is the director of distilling at High West. He was the first to taste it. He told Fox thirteen. I had a little bit of trepidation going in, but you have to try. It didn't smell like gasoline, didn't smell like tobacco spit, he said. But the flavor is fruity.
4:01 There's a little bit of leather, but there's quite an age on it. Experts said the liquid appears to be a low alcohol beer. They're now hoping to recreate the beverage. We're told the very bottom of the bottle was sort of turbid, sort of milky. We're going to take it back and hopefully played it out and find some usable yeast on it. In North Carolina, every smash burger served at a restaurant is helping to fight childhood cancer. The folks over at Zeke Smash are donating five percent of all profits to children's cancer charities, including Saint Baldrick's. Zeke Smash serves smash burger sandwiches, fried cheese, curds, hot dogs, and desserts. The restaurant is named after Zeke, the six year old son of the owner's close friends. Zeke was diagnosed at just three months with juvenile leukemia, a rare, aggressive blood cancer. Kyle, the owner, said, watching the family navigate chemotherapy, hospital visits, and medical bills, even with strong insurance, changed him. Beyond treatment, he saw the emotional hold on long term financial strain that families face, an area he believes is often overlooked in childhood cancer fundraising. The name Zeke Smash became both a brand and emission great food paired with direct community impact. If you're down that way, Zeke Smash six nineteen South seventeenth Street in Wilmington, North Carolina.
