Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Callaroga Shark Media. I like this first guy. Hi, I'm
Shohnnie Mack with five good news stories. A man has
taken it upon himself to address what he referred to
as a fun deficit in his town. He's been placing
humorous signs in the style of public notices and road
signs around town, hoping that they'll make people see things

(00:25):
in a new perspective. For a few months, he's been
putting up trick signs. One sign said people were entering
a formal attire only zone. There's also a coffee control
area which is monitored between five am and ten pm.
I saw another sign that said an open air wrestling
area for people sixty five and up was coming soon.
He's not worried about what happens to the signs, as

(00:47):
long as they spark a smile and get people to laugh.
That's a lot of fun. Good news. We found your
eight ponies. They had escaped from your stable in Massachusetts
and the cops got involved. The poor folks at the
Myopia Hunt Club stable found that the ponies had knocked
down a fence. The manager said, all the ponies got out,
they knocked the fence over and went on an adventure.

(01:08):
They ran through the streets of Hamilton. Apparently these same
ponies have escaped multiple times before, like once or twice
each summer. The cops are going to get bored with this,
or maybe the cops are bored. It'll be like, all right,
we got something to do. Lieutenant Donovan said officers were
able to draw on their previous experiences with escaped horses.
He told Salem News. They're like cattle, and they follow

(01:29):
each other. Once one goes, they all go. And that's
typically why when you return them, if you get one
of them to listen, the rest will follow. Congratulations to Dean.
He now holds the Guinness record for most roller coasters
written in one week. His goal was thirty. He did
fifty five. He told Guinness World Records. I visited my
first theme park as a teenager and quickly realized I

(01:50):
love the adrenaline Russia enjoy finding new theme parks to
visit and taking in the whole ambience, from theming, the
music through the rides themselves. His original plan was to
do over six, but then there was some weather issues
and two of the parks unexpectedly closed and mill of
the week. He is now on a quest to ride
every roller coaster in Great Britain and Ireland. Uh. Good

(02:11):
news for this guy, although I'm not sure you want
to be this guy. Emergency responders in Connecticut were called
to a playground a forty year old man had become
wedged inside the middle of a tube slide. The Vernon
Police got a call around four thirty for a confined
space rescue of a forty year old adult male stuck
in a tube slide in the playground. The man was

(02:31):
said to be wedged feet and head first in the
middle part of the slide at the Northeast Elementary School.
Photos from the scene show the man had somehow ended
up sideways with his body folded at the waist. Firefighters
removed a section of the slide to reach the man.
The man was freed within thirty minutes. He refused treatment
and transport to a local emergency room at Good news

(02:55):
for a surfer in New South Wales, Australia. Brad was
in the water around seven twenty six am. Dark shape
in the water next to him. He said it was
an explosion of water and foam. He made it back
to the shore the surfboard. Not so lucky. It was
in two halves with a large bite taken out of
the middle. Now I saw a picture of this surfboard. Okay,
draw a surfboard and then draw like a ridiculous shark

(03:18):
bite in the middle of the surfboard, like a big one,
like a kid would draw. That's what this looks like.
A few minutes later, a drone captured a great white
shark estimated to be sixteen feet long, on the camera.
The good news is everybody's okay, except, of course, the surfboard.
And those are five good news stories for today. If

(03:41):
and I'll tell you how all that works. Short version
