Speaker 1 (00:03):
Kalaroga Shock Media. Hey there, I'm shouting Mack with five
good news stories. Now as a regular listen to this program,
We're probably like hate shoanning Mack. How do I get
rid of wolves? Well, I have the answer for you.
You use the voice of Scarlett Johanson. Ever since great
wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park, farmers have had
(00:25):
a deal with a tax on their livestock. So the
farmers aren't allowed to shoot them, they're not allowed to
poison them. So they figured out what could they do.
They tried using acdc's Hell's bills, but what they found
was really working was the scene from Scarlett Johansson's movie
Marriage Story. When I host this program, the devil's in
the details quoted here is USDA District Supervisor. Are you
(00:49):
ready for his name? Paul Wolf? Love it. Mister Wolf said,
I need the wolves to respond and know that, Hey,
humans are bad For some reason. Woolf do not like
these sounds of humans arguing. They find it disturbing enough
to be deterred by them, especially the voice of Scarlett
Johansson proving Colin Jost is not a wolf. In case
(01:10):
you were wondering, putting Scarlett Johansson on a drone show
that wolf attack numbers fell from eleven to twenty days
to just two in eighty five days. In Vermont, a
man is refurbishing payphones in a community with poor cell signals.
Patrick said, I realized, Wow, there's no cell service for
like ten miles in either direction. This community could really
(01:32):
benefit from something like this. He bought an old payphone,
which in Casha Curius sells for between one hundred and
five hundred dollars and installed it outside the general store
in North Churnbridge. He used a device that converts an
Internet connection to an analog telecom line that the phones
can use. He took out the coin operation mechanism, so
(01:52):
suddenly there was free phones for everybody. Store owner Mike said,
everybody's pretty surprised. You like, is that a real payphone?
Does it work? And I'm like yeah, but it doesn't
lost any money. Now, We've had people use it that
broke down. It's a great thing because service is so
spotty in Vermont. Now this isn't set it and forget it.
It costs two to three dollars per phone for the
phone line and another five dollars for calls. Then Patrick,
(02:14):
the guy that hooked all this up, has to act
as the operator, fielding or transferring calls and helping users
when needed. If they dial zero, the operator calls arrive
on his personal cell phone, which uses an app to
keep his number private. In one month, three hundred and
seventy calls, this guy gave himself a full time job
that doesn't pay anything. Awkwardly switching topics, a temporary tattoo
(02:36):
that detects drugs and drinks could prevent spiking with rufees. Well,
this is good. A new sticker responds within one second
to even low concentrations of the drug GHB. According to scientists,
GHB commonly known as rufees. The drugs are colorless and tasteless.
Scientists in South Korea developed a rapid acting test for
(02:57):
rufees that's worn on the skin, using a tatsoo sticker.
To create the stickers, the scientists placed a mold on
top of a thin plastic film decorated with tattoo like designs.
They then poured a gel mixture into the mold containing
a chemical receptor that turns red when it detects roofies.
Then they coated the back of the sticker with a
diluted glue solution, so it sticks to your skin. One
(03:18):
of the scientists said, in practice, a wearer could dip
a finger no beverage, touch the drop to the sticker
and see the result almost immediately. Nice job, scientists, all right.
In the Philippines, an arcade has earned the Guinness World
Record by installing the world's largest claw machine. You'll have
to visit the Playfair Arcade at the Top's Landmark in
(03:39):
Cebu City. They have unveiled clocking seventeen point one six
feet long, eight point one two feet wide and twelve
point seven three feet tall. Clocking takes the record from
Santa Claw, which is a defunct claw machine anyway, installed
in Florida. That one was just sixteen point seven feet
long and some other measurements. Who cares the arcade said
(03:59):
a social media What an epic achievement. We happily share
with Cebu and we're beyond proud to bring this record home.
In Britain, four cows had sank into quicksand the Carlisle
East fire Station set on social media. Cruise responded after
a report came in about cows stuck in quicksand the
firefighters arrived, They found the quicksand had hardened into extremely
(04:21):
firm mud, trapping the cows up to their necks. The
cows had broken through a gate overnight made their way
to the river. The cows were successfully extracted by trained
animal rescue specialists using a telehandler borrowed from a farmer.
The fire department reports it was an utterly good ending
for all those five good news stories. For it today.
