Speaker 1 (00:03):
Calaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five
good new stories. It's hurricane season and they had Hurricane
Aaron last week and making a mess of the shore. Well,
good news. Sharks can be used to predict storms. That's right.
If you outfit a shark with a sensor on their
dorsal fin, they can help scientists better understand Atlantic hurricanes. Now,
(00:27):
I don't know where you get the shark or how
you go. Hey shark, I'm just gonna attach this to
your fin. But I'm not a scientist. I'm a guy
in a basement recording ridiculous news stories. You see, the
sharks swim to areas inaccessible to scientists. These sharks monitors
collect information like water temperature and depth, and those can
be used to predict the power and trajectory of storms.
(00:49):
They're also apparently less expensive to operate than drones. Good
to know. Hey, an update on Sienna. Remember Sienna, the
shelter dog who had detected a man's oncoming seizure even
though hadn't been trained to do so. Deanna has found
it forever home. You may recall in June, Sienna broke
away from a crowd of dogs walking right up to
(01:09):
a man, She sat down, looked him in the eye,
put her pawn his leg, and refuse to leave his side.
And eyewitnessed said she sat quietly at his feet, refused
to budge, softly placed his pawn his leg. Wasn't a trick,
it wasn't prompted. It was pure intuition. Josh had forgotten
to take his epilepsy medication that morning. Sienna somehow knew
about it. Anyway, Sienna the shelter dog now has a
(01:30):
forever home. The locals at the shelter mind, you don't
overlook the stray dog that's in your local shelter. All
of them have amazing traits about them. I have two
shelter dogs. Good news for some ducks. Fifteen local humans
are taking rotating shifts to personally escort twenty ducks to
the town center every evening. The ducks start there fifteen
minute walk from the Codbeck Record around eight thirty pm.
(01:53):
If you head over to the Market Square parking lot
and they sleep there until four point thirty the next morning.
Why do the ducks do this? No, no one knows,
But luckily they have a human escort now. A local
said it's really heartwarming and adorable escorting the ducks on
their walk. Whenever they're leaving the river, they start quacking.
They march up in two battalions. Volunteers place traffic cones
(02:14):
around the ducks. They watch over them until things quality
it down around eleven pm on weeknights and two thirty
in the morning on weekends because there might be some
drunk revelers from the local pub. This seems to be seasonal.
The ducks start doing this in June and they do
it until the beginning of December. Who knows what they
do in the winter. A nice moment for twelve year
(02:34):
old Geese. He got to play in an NFL exhibition
game with the Carolina Panthers. Two years ago. Mom started
to notice bruises building up on her son's body. Jase
has a rare bone condition that can lead to leukemia.
He would need a marrow transplant. He got the transplant,
and then the Make a Witch Foundation notified him that
he could choose a dream to help him carry through
(02:54):
his recovery. He wanted to be the quarterback for the
Carolina Panthers. The Panther were like okay. He signed a
contract with the gm and they drew up a play
with the offensive coordinator and met the mascot got jersey
number twenty six with his name on the back. Then,
at an intrat squad scrimmage at Panthers fan Fest night,
the coaches sent him out. He took the ball on
(03:16):
a hand off outside the ten, raced around the left
end headed towards the end zone. Touchdown and good news
if you're a bear that likes ice cream. Yeah, bear
broke into an ice cream shop. So bad news if
you own an ice cream shop because a bearer broke
in and I assumed there was some damage. But good
news for the bear. This is a positive show. I'm
going to take the bear's point of view on this one.
(03:36):
The bear helped itself to some strawberry ice cream. The
El Dorado Sheriff's Office were called in reports of a
bear eating ice cream. Their social media posts that the
deputies could barely believe their eyes. They saw a large
bear behind the counter of the shop eating a strawberry
ice cream. The Sheriff's office said the bear only showed
(03:57):
interest in the strawberry ice cream particular. It's like my
mom only likes strawberry ice cream. And she passed away.
Maybe she's come back as a bear. That'd be some
good news. Anyway. The bear left the store with some
encouragement from local deputies, were told Fuzzy the Bear. I
don't know how they got the bear's name, but apparently
its name is Fuzzy. Fuzzy the bear caused hardly any
(04:19):
property damage and there was hardly any cleanup. And those
