The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Hey,
good news unless you're a chicken. Chicken wing prices are falling just in time
for the Super Bowl. If you are a chicken, I appreciate you listening
because you clearly went through a lot of effort to do that. But for
your humans out there, chicken wings are running about two sixty two a pound,
down from two ninety eight a year ago. Yeah, have you been
to the pub lately? Whatever happened at ten cent wings? Haven't seen that
in two decades, Johnny Mack. The National Chicken Council forecasts that Americans will
eat eighty four million more chicken wings during the Super Bowl weekend than they ate
last year, bringing the total two one point four five billion chicken wings.
The two main reasons are more favorable prices and people getting back to normal and
gathering for the big game, whether at home, at a bar or restaurant.
That is from the spokesperson for the Chicken Wing Council. His name,
and this is a Super Bowl story, And I'm a little suspect here.
The spokesperson's name is Tom Super. Yeah, Tom Super telling us about the
Super Bowl. M Other than wings. Host will be able to save on
avocados for guacamole. That'll make my friend Mike pretty happy. Avocado prices down
twenty percent thanks to a strong crop ear. Unfortunately, beer prices have increased
by eleven percent in the past here. As for the wings, I'll take
twelve hots. Anybody out there a fan of a porter potty? No,
yes, Well, if you're a fan of porter potties, good news.
A startup has invented a porter potty that converts waste and we know what we
mean by waist okay into high quality fertilizer. The Vermont based startup is called
Wasted, and they're not promising to make porter potties kind of awesome, but
at least the waste will get turned into something good. A group of Peloton
enthusiasts. I love that Peloton enthusiasts. They are from the Facebook group Wicked
Smart Zone. They brought a ray of sunshine to the folks at the tavern
on the wharf and Plymouth, mass That's why I dipped into the horrible Boston
accent there. Wicked Smart Zone. Twenty two of them gathered for breakfast.
They left a tip. Guess how much the tip was forty six hundred dollars.
Yeah, there were additional one hundred people who contributed online. The servers
were overwhelmed by the kindness, one saying was the most heartwarming, incredible thing
that has honestly ever happened. Megan, the waitress said, after the hundreds,
there were twenties. We were just tears, tears, tears. It's
incredible. I live alone, I have two daughters. Rent is due in
two days. This was the most heartwarming, incredible thing that's ever happened.
I couldn't be more appreciative. I could cry talking about it right now.
Josh Vernon is the organizer of the Wicked Smot Zone, and he hopes the
group's actions will inspire others to do the same. So if you're at the
tavern this weekend, leave a forty six hundred dollars tip, will you?
The zoners plan to keep spreading kindness and making positive impacts in their community.
