1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:09,000 The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Hey, 2 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,679 good news unless you're a chicken. Chicken wing prices are falling just in time 3 00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:17,239 for the Super Bowl. If you are a chicken, I appreciate you listening 4 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,839 because you clearly went through a lot of effort to do that. But for 5 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,679 your humans out there, chicken wings are running about two sixty two a pound, 6 00:00:23,879 --> 00:00:26,559 down from two ninety eight a year ago. Yeah, have you been 7 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,160 to the pub lately? Whatever happened at ten cent wings? Haven't seen that 8 00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:34,960 in two decades, Johnny Mack. The National Chicken Council forecasts that Americans will 9 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,439 eat eighty four million more chicken wings during the Super Bowl weekend than they ate 10 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:45,399 last year, bringing the total two one point four five billion chicken wings. 11 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,000 The two main reasons are more favorable prices and people getting back to normal and 12 00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:53,479 gathering for the big game, whether at home, at a bar or restaurant. 13 00:00:53,719 --> 00:00:57,719 That is from the spokesperson for the Chicken Wing Council. His name, 14 00:00:57,799 --> 00:01:00,359 and this is a Super Bowl story, And I'm a little suspect here. 15 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:06,920 The spokesperson's name is Tom Super. Yeah, Tom Super telling us about the 16 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,760 Super Bowl. M Other than wings. Host will be able to save on 17 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,560 avocados for guacamole. That'll make my friend Mike pretty happy. Avocado prices down 18 00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:21,159 twenty percent thanks to a strong crop ear. Unfortunately, beer prices have increased 19 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,000 by eleven percent in the past here. As for the wings, I'll take 20 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,280 twelve hots. Anybody out there a fan of a porter potty? No, 21 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,159 yes, Well, if you're a fan of porter potties, good news. 22 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,519 A startup has invented a porter potty that converts waste and we know what we 23 00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:38,519 mean by waist okay into high quality fertilizer. The Vermont based startup is called 24 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,480 Wasted, and they're not promising to make porter potties kind of awesome, but 25 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,799 at least the waste will get turned into something good. A group of Peloton 26 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,840 enthusiasts. I love that Peloton enthusiasts. They are from the Facebook group Wicked 27 00:01:51,879 --> 00:01:56,200 Smart Zone. They brought a ray of sunshine to the folks at the tavern 28 00:01:56,239 --> 00:01:59,400 on the wharf and Plymouth, mass That's why I dipped into the horrible Boston 29 00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:02,239 accent there. Wicked Smart Zone. Twenty two of them gathered for breakfast. 30 00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:07,200 They left a tip. Guess how much the tip was forty six hundred dollars. 31 00:02:07,359 --> 00:02:10,159 Yeah, there were additional one hundred people who contributed online. The servers 32 00:02:10,159 --> 00:02:15,439 were overwhelmed by the kindness, one saying was the most heartwarming, incredible thing 33 00:02:15,479 --> 00:02:19,319 that has honestly ever happened. Megan, the waitress said, after the hundreds, 34 00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:21,800 there were twenties. We were just tears, tears, tears. It's 35 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,240 incredible. I live alone, I have two daughters. Rent is due in 36 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,879 two days. This was the most heartwarming, incredible thing that's ever happened. 37 00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:30,319 I couldn't be more appreciative. I could cry talking about it right now. 38 00:02:30,719 --> 00:02:35,560 Josh Vernon is the organizer of the Wicked Smot Zone, and he hopes the 39 00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:38,840 group's actions will inspire others to do the same. So if you're at the 40 00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:40,599 tavern this weekend, leave a forty six hundred dollars tip, will you? 41 00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:45,919 The zoners plan to keep spreading kindness and making positive impacts in their community. 42 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,560 I am Patty Callahan, Henry, I am Mary kay Andrews, I'm Kristin 43 00:02:54,639 --> 00:03:00,400 Harmel, and I'm Kristy Woodson Harvey.
