1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. I love this first story so much

2
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,800
that I kept a picture of this guy. Hi. I'm

3
00:00:11,839 --> 00:00:14,839
Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Brian has become

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,519
one of the most effective matchmakers in New York City,

5
00:00:17,679 --> 00:00:21,199
except he's matching dogs. Once a week, he heads to

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,679
the animal care centers of New York City and loads

7
00:00:23,679 --> 00:00:26,559
a shelter dog into a backpack labeled adopt Me, and

8
00:00:26,719 --> 00:00:30,760
takes the dog out on an adventure subway rides walking around.

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,240
On a recent outing, the dog was Bertha, a white

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,000
pup with brown spots who had been found on the

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,280
streets in October. That's the picture I kept inside the

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,759
subway car. Bertha poked her head out of the backpack,

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,200
licking Brian NonStop and leaning into strangers for scratches. A

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,759
few days later, Bertha was adopted. Brian says that's the

15
00:00:48,759 --> 00:00:51,280
goal of every outing so far. He's taken out eleven dogs.

16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,159
Ten were adopted shortly after the videos were posted. The

17
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,200
lone exception involved a medical issue that needed to be resolved.

18
00:00:57,799 --> 00:01:02,679
Brian writes playful captions for each video. For Bertha, he wrote,

19
00:01:02,679 --> 00:01:05,719
Bertha loves kisses. Many mentions of kisses subway rides, hot

20
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,480
dog specific toys being held, and making friends or one

21
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,519
dislike certain stuffed animals. Ryan said, it's crazy to me

22
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,359
to be able to see a real world direct impact

23
00:01:14,359 --> 00:01:16,120
that you're improving the life of another person and the

24
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:17,760
life of a dog because it took a few hours

25
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:21,959
to go make some content. Fantastic scientists may have found

26
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,400
a new ally against mosquitoes by turning one of the

27
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,319
mosquito's natural enemies into a precision engineered killer. Hope no

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,599
mosquitoes are listening to this episode. They're not going to

29
00:01:31,719 --> 00:01:35,359
like this one. There's a parasitic fungus which attracts insects

30
00:01:35,359 --> 00:01:39,599
with a floral scent, but only after it's killed its

31
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:43,599
first victim. Well, some scientists genetically modify the fungus to

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,519
produce the scent, constantly pumping out the scent around the clock.

33
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,920
The compound is safe for humans. It's even used in perfumes,

34
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,560
but irresistible to mosquitoes. In a test, the engineered fungus

35
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,680
wiped out about half the mosquitoes. Unlike chemical insecticides, which

36
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,159
mosquitoes are becoming resistant stance to this one has millions

37
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:04,359
of years of evolution behind it. Making it harder for

38
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,920
mosquitos to outsmart it. Now, what if they evolve to

39
00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:10,120
avoid this chemical, that would mean they'd have to avoid

40
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,639
flowers entirely, which they need for food. Wow. Not good

41
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,439
news for mosquitoes. A French daredevil who's into bungee jumping

42
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,000
earned his second Guinness World Record by jumping at sixteen

43
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,639
different commercial bungee jumping sites over the course of eight years.

44
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:29,800
Francois's first record was by bunging jumping seven hundred and

45
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,319
sixty five times in one day. Wow, that's one jump

46
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,560
every two minutes. Now the second record jumping at sixteen

47
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,639
different commercial bungee jumping locations over the course of eight years.

48
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,159
Some of the places include Austria's rupert Herner bungee Jumping,

49
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,800
Canada's Greek Canadian Bungee, Nepal's The Last Resort, Switzerland's Double

50
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:57,240
O seven bungee verses, and Zambia's Shearwater bungee. Francois says,

51
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,400
while living my passion, I want to serve a good cause,

52
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,439
with the motto give as much as I jump. He

53
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,599
used his jumps to raise money for the Catholic charity

54
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,879
group Carretas. Here's one out of a movie. A drone

55
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,479
dropped steak and crab legs for a prisoner, but the

56
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,439
guards at the jail found it first. The meal was

57
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,919
dropped into the Lee Correctional Institution prison by a drone.

58
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,319
The South Carolina Department of Corrections went on social media.

59
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,560
They showed a raw steak still in the grocery store,

60
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:27,759
packing crab legs and old bay with the side plastic

61
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,280
baggies of marijuana and a couple of cartons of cigarettes.

62
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:34,800
All that was seized, as was the drone. Prison spokesperson said,

63
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,319
I'm guessing the inmates who were expecting the package or

64
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:40,919
crabby and good news if you like. Golden Retrievers and

65
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,599
he were in Buenos Aires. Golden Retrievers from all across

66
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:48,319
Argentina showed up at the Bosques del Palermo park and

67
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,240
turned the park into a giant living bowl of yellow fluff.

68
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:55,680
Golden retrievers sniffed one another enthusiastically. Some were dressed in

69
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,159
soccer jerseys, others in two two's. One wore a Star

70
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:01,680
Wars bandana. Meanwhile, a tea team of volunteers roamed with

71
00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:04,560
the park with clipboards counting every single golden They could.

72
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,039
The tally came in twenty three hundred and ninety seven

73
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,120
Golden retrievers, shattering last year's world record of sixteen eighty

74
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,240
five set in Vancouver. Fausto is the event organizer. He's

75
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,519
also a Golden Retriever influencer thanks to his dog Ali.

76
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,759
Fausto said, this is a historic event and those are

77
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,079
your five good news stories for today. Have an awesome day.
