1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark media, guys, what are we doing? Hi? I'm

2
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,560
Johnny Mack with five news stories. Organizers of the World

3
00:00:14,599 --> 00:00:18,879
Stone Skimming Championships in Scotland set a cheating scandal led

4
00:00:18,879 --> 00:00:22,199
to the disqualification of several competitors. As you know, the

5
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,519
World Stone Skimming Championships are an annual celebration of the sport.

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,399
It's held every September. The rules require the stones thrown

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,159
by competitors to skim across the surface of the water

8
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,039
to be naturally occurring slate stones from the island, but

9
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,880
several competitors this year brought rocks that appeared to have

10
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,679
been shaped and smoothed by a machine. Do you need

11
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:47,399
to win the stone throwing contest that badly that you're

12
00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:50,719
gonna cheat? What is wrong with you? Kyle Matthews is

13
00:00:50,799 --> 00:00:54,320
the event's tossmaster. He told the Scottish Mail. I got

14
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,240
calls from concerned competitors. They were worried people might think

15
00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:00,000
that's how things are done here. I contacted the individual

16
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,399
who had admitted their transgressions and I had to disqualify

17
00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:06,359
them to give them credit. They deeply apologize for bringing

18
00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:10,120
the sport into disrepute and accepted disqualification and we accept

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,200
that that's the end of the matter. Well no, this

20
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:15,239
is now being talked about on an international podcast. This

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,920
is very embarrassing for the sport of stone throwing. Mister

22
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,079
Matthews said. Organizers are considering new rules for future competitions,

23
00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:27,120
requiring participants to choose from stone selected by officials instead

24
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:29,799
of finding your own. But see that's not fun. I

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,040
like finding my own. Let these cheaters go and have

26
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:36,400
their own like man made stone throwing contest and don't

27
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,599
hold it in Scotland. Let's keep this competition pure. The

28
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,640
first round of the competition features competitors attempting to skip

29
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,480
their stones across the surface of the water to the

30
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,680
back wall of the quarry that's about two hundred and

31
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:50,120
six feet. Those who qualify for the second round then

32
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,079
engage in a sauce off to determine the winner. Congratulations

33
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,840
to Jonathan Jennings out of Kentucky. He became the competition's

34
00:01:57,879 --> 00:02:01,680
first ever American winner. In the adult male category of

35
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,959
this year's event, Lucy Woods won the adult female category

36
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,239
for the sixth time. Now, if you hang out with

37
00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:09,840
Johnny Mack, he will often say to you two beers,

38
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:12,159
not eight. Two beers is a nice hang with friends.

39
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,759
Eight is something else entirely, And now researchers have found

40
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,479
this to be true. They find the chimpanzees eating fermented

41
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,960
fruit in their native habitats consume the equivalent of nearly

42
00:02:24,039 --> 00:02:28,120
two alcoholic drinks per day. That's right. The researchers analyzed

43
00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:32,199
twenty one species of fruit regularly eaten by chimpanzees in

44
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,800
Uganda to measure the alcohol content. They tell us, across

45
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,680
all sites, male and female chimps are consuming about fourteen

46
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,680
grams that's like half an ounce of pure ethanol per

47
00:02:41,759 --> 00:02:44,280
day in their diet, which is equivalent to one standard

48
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:47,319
American drink. When you adjust for body masks, it's like

49
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,800
two drinks. We're gonna have to get these chimps in

50
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,759
White Castle to, you know, take the edge off on

51
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,000
the walk home. Scientists tell us human attraction at alcohol

52
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,240
probably arose from this dietary heritage of our common ancestor

53
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,520
with chimpanzees. New York City is turning food waste into

54
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:06,840
black gold to improve these cities' soil health. Waste items

55
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:10,960
like watermelon rines, greasy pizza boxes, and you're trimming they're

56
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,599
being composted at the Staten Island compost Facility. They take

57
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,680
in one hundred to one hundred and fifty tons of

58
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,960
organic material every day. There used to be a garbage dump.

59
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,719
Is that Is that a I feel like that's not

60
00:03:23,759 --> 00:03:25,639
a PC term? Am I allowed to say garbage dump?

61
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,080
Or am I gonna get canceled? There used to be

62
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:33,680
a sanitation facility on Staten Island. It was just like huge, huge,

63
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,400
but they close that down a while back. Tuffs University

64
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,400
will be tuition free for US families earning less than

65
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:43,080
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The president of Toughs

66
00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:45,879
University said, we're sending a clear message that Toughs is

67
00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:48,000
committed to meeting the full need of all its students.

68
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,360
US undergraduate students whose families make less than one hundred

69
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,120
fifty thousand dollars a year will attend tuition free beginning

70
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,639
in the fall of twenty twenty six. Students with an

71
00:03:56,639 --> 00:03:59,240
annual family income of less than sixty thousand dollars will

72
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,759
typically receive a financial aid package with no student loans.

73
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,560
The new policy, known as the Tough Tuition Pact, is

74
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:07,879
meant to ensure that students from all backgrounds know that

75
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,879
a tough education is within reach. I lost track of

76
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:13,280
how many stories. I've recorded a bunch of these today,

77
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,199
including the Halloween ones, and I'm a little punchy from

78
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,560
doing those because those made me laugh. Let's see what

79
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:22,160
did I do? I did? The Stones is one, Beers

80
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,120
is two. Why don't you edit this out, John, because

81
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,360
that's not fun. Black Gold composting was three, toughtless four. Okay,

82
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:31,399
it's five good news stories and this is story number five.

83
00:04:32,079 --> 00:04:34,639
It's one of those world records and it's not you know,

84
00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:37,079
what would those guys do, those guys that make stuff up?

85
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:42,279
They would hop on one leg while juggling. But that's

86
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,879
not enough. They always have to add like a third thing.

87
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,920
Hop on one leg while juggling in fourteen seconds in

88
00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:49,360
the rain. Well, it's not that at all. This is

89
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,519
the Guinness World Record for the largest pizza party. Why

90
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,720
wasn't I invited to this? The Taste of new Haven

91
00:04:57,399 --> 00:04:59,639
held a record attempt at the new Haven Green. More

92
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,360
than no nine thousand slices of pizza were handed out.

93
00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:05,439
I would have had three, four, I mean, if they

94
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:09,480
were free, definitely would had three. There were forty five

95
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,040
hundred and twenty five participants, breaking the record of just

96
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:16,000
thirty three hundred and fifty seven participants set by the

97
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,920
Pizza World Champions in Sulsan twenty twenty three. Now, some

98
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,279
lazy matthire forty five twenty five times two is around

99
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,879
nine thousand, but somebody must have had one slice, so

100
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,040
I could have had a third slice to balance that out.

101
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:31,120
Togains to the nine thousand slices. The new Haven mayor

102
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,439
on social media said new Haven has once again demonstrated

103
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,560
it's pizza supremacy and why the Elm city is the

104
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,439
pizza capital of the country and the world. With four

105
00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:43,399
five hundred and twenty five Pizza Party participants, the love

106
00:05:43,439 --> 00:05:47,360
for pizza and new Haven was literally palpable and unclear display.

107
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,720
And those are five good news stories for today. I'm hungry,

108
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:51,639
have a good day.
