Speaker 1: Kalioka Shock Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny mag with five
good new stories. A dad has turned his deliberately terrible
artwork into a thriving side business. He's even earned thousands
of dollars. Jamie first created one of his now signature
paintings as a joke if for his wife in twenty
twenty four. She shared it on social media. The response
was huge. Viewers were drawn to the intentionally clumsy style.
He explained. Most people respond with joy and laughter in
my paintings, which is why it's been so fun, because
they absolutely get it. I didn't expect it to be
a big part of my life, but sometimes I spend
more time painting than I do on my actual full
time job. Each painting takes roughly forty five minutes to
an hour to complete, depending on the number of people
in the painting. At peak demand, he was painting up
to five hours a day, including a stretch in January
when he received one hundred and thirty orders in a
single month. These paintings are going for sixty bucks. More
complex pieces sell for several hundred dollars. He's used the
money to fix up the house, including a new garden.
Jamie says, my kids say the paintings are terrible. You know,
kids are like they speak the truth, but deep down
I know they love it. It's colorful and it's fun.
Recently he painted Judy Ditch. Judy Ditch signed the painting
and donated it to auction. He explains, to have somebody
like Judy Dench look at a piece of my artwork
and agree to sign it is absolutely insane. A hot
air balloon was carrying thirteen passengers it made an unexpected
emergency landing in a California backyard. Hunters said he was
watching TV around eight thirty in the morning. A neighbor
knocked on his door and said, hey, balloon. Hunter went outside,
he found a balloon filled with passengers in his yard
to not notice. Video of the incident shows the balloon
to setting into the property, passengers calmly waving as a
touchdown among the trees. The pilot said shifting wind conditions
forced the unplanned landing. Brianna was one of the passengers
and said the group had been celebrating an anniversary when
the pilot announced they needed a land due to low
wind and a limited fuel. Despite it being an unusual location,
the landing was controlled and uneventful. The balloon was secured
and removed, All passengers exited the basket, and you know
somebody had to be like, can I use your bathroom? Right? Yeah?
Congratulations to the baron. The baron has set the record
for heaviest vehicle pulled by the nipples. This is for
that German TV show where they break world records with
this guy. He goes by the name of the Baron.
He used body piercings attached to what he describes as
the world's strongest nipples to pull the carriage, beating the
previous record of twy one hundred and seventy nine point
twenty seven pounds. The previous record had been set by
Sage who goes by the Great Nippolini. But let's not
get into that. The new record and eighty four pounds. Now.
To make sure that the carriage was heavy enough, a
friend sat in the carriage to get some extra weight
in there. Back in twenty thirteen, the Baron set the
Guinness record for heaviest weightlifted by the nipples when he
lifted seventy one point eighty seven pounds and held it
for more than eight seconds, more than sixty five five
hundred volunteers have built over ten thousand beds in just
twenty four hours for children in need across the US.
The effort took place inside the Charlotte's A Convention Center,
North Carolina. Employees from LOWS worked alongside thousands of volunteers
in support of Sleep and Heavenly Peace. Volunteers turned roughly
two hundred miles of raw lumber into ten twenty seven beds,
using two thousand gallons of stain, more than seven hundred
and thirty thousand screws, and nearly eighteen thousand standing discs.
Jenna works for Low's. She was there and said, I'm
thinking about my own kids. I'm so fortunate to put
them in their own beds. I hope every child feels
as safe and comfortable as mine. The volunteers worked across
sixteen assembly lines, each handling a specific task including cutting, standing, assembling,
and finishing. Organizers say the goal is simple, give every
child a safe and comfortable place to sleep. If you
are a longtime listener, you will remember this story. Here's
an Up to eight three people have been sentenced in
California after staging a series of fake bear attacks on
luxury vehicles. Is this ringing a bell short version? So
people were dressing up as bears and smashing in the
cars and some hucksters. Apparently we're running an insurance fraud scheme.
Three fake bears pleaded no contest to felony insurance fraud,
and they were each sentenced to one hundred and eighty
days in jail. A fourth suspect is awaiting at preliminary hearing.
At the time of this recording. Authorities say the group
submitted multiple insurance claims alleging that a bear had entered
and damaged high end vehicles, including a Rolls Royce, Mercedes
and a different Mercedes. Investigators had reviewed the video footage.
One investigator noted that bear appeared to move more like
a human than an animal, so they called it a
biologist from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife who
was like, yeah, that's a human in a bear suit.
They started an investigation Operation bear Claw. There was also
a key flaw in the story, and this is important
if you want to run such a scam. Brown bears
have not been seen in California since the nineteen twenties,
so it was incredibly unlikely that a brown bear showed
up and started breaking into cars. Captain Hood, who led
the investigation, said, I don't think we saw anything to
the extent in the past where they got a bear suit.
This is unique. Those see five good news stories for today.
I have a good one.
