00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:09,679
Speaker 1: Kalaroka Shock Media. Hello, I'm Jenny Mack with five good

2
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:13,480
news stories. Congrats to Betty. Betty is eighty years old

3
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:16,160
and has become the oldest woman ever to complete the

4
00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:20,280
Appalachian Trail. She first dreamed of hiking the trail as

5
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,120
a child after reading about it in Weekly Reader. But

6
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:25,039
you know, life a gets in the way and suddenly

7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,480
or eighty. The trail crosses fourteen states from Maine to

8
00:00:28,559 --> 00:00:30,800
Georgia and is so demanding most people only hike it

9
00:00:30,839 --> 00:00:34,520
in sections. She tried in twenty twenty two, but her

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,280
hiking partner, Joe, was injured and she herself was forced

11
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,000
off the trail due to dehydration, lime disease, and a concussion. Yikes.

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,280
She tried again in twenty twenty three, but was cut

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,479
short by another fall. Then she had knee replacement surgery,

14
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,000
and sadly Joe passed away. She resolved to finish the

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,960
trail in his honor. She set out again in twenty

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,320
twenty four, but there was damage caused by Hurricane Helene

17
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:01,280
that forced hikers to leave parts of the trail, so

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,600
she gave it another shot in March of twenty twenty

19
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,519
five and tackled the remaining northern and southern sections. In September,

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,159
she completed the trail, breaking the previous age record by

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,400
six years. Her takeaways keep moving, set big goals, and

22
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,359
don't let others define your limits. Great job. A Georgia

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,480
filmmaker proposed by editing himself into the wedding scene from Shrek.

24
00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:26,239
You didn't think I was gonna say Shrek. Carter spent

25
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,640
five hours digitally inserting himself into Shrek, timing his cameo

26
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,000
to run down the aisle, declaring he'd experienced true love too,

27
00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:38,760
just before Lord Farquad's perfect Brideline. While playing the edited

28
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,799
clip at home, Carter slipped out of the room, changed

29
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,840
into the same suit as the scene, and returned moments

30
00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:48,840
later proposed to dressa He was inspired when Addresses suggested

31
00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:52,200
Shrek for movie night. Chad worked on the editing secret

32
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:55,480
while she slept, nervously, hoping she'd agree to watch the

33
00:01:55,519 --> 00:01:58,959
film on the chosen date without growing suspicious. He filmed

34
00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:00,799
the whole thing at what Viral on Reddit and got

35
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,719
tens of thousands of likes and enthusiastic comments. Congratulations to

36
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,879
the happy couple. The UK is creating Europe's largest oyster reef,

37
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,080
with four million native oysters being restored to the seabed

38
00:02:12,159 --> 00:02:15,039
off the coast of Norfolk. By the end of the year,

39
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,039
around forty thousand specifically designed clay structures known as mother reefs,

40
00:02:19,039 --> 00:02:21,680
will be installed on the seabed in the North Sea.

41
00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:24,800
Each structure will be seated with about one hundred juvenile oysters.

42
00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:27,879
Once mature, the reefs are expected to filter millions of

43
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,000
leaders of seawater each day, improving water quality and creating

44
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,919
a habitat for a whole range of marine species that's neat.

45
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,240
The oyster reefs were almost entirely wiped out over the

46
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,439
last century due to overfishing, disease, and pollutions. Scientists say

47
00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:43,919
their loss meant the disappearance of entire ecosystems, and restoring

48
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,840
them is the key to healthier seas. Good news out

49
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,479
of southern New Jersey. We caught your wallaby. Here's why

50
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:55,520
the wallaby loves Walmart parking lots. It's always about the

51
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,639
details in these stories, right, Rex the wallaby escaped from

52
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,680
the lis of love form Ron owns the place and said, yeah,

53
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,319
Rex had been moved into a barn to shelter him

54
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:10,360
from strong winds but got loose. Police responded to multiple

55
00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:14,599
calls responding what witness has described as a kangaroo hopping

56
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,680
near traffic. Now, I've been to Australia, so when i

57
00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:19,560
went to Australia, you know, I'm from New York City,

58
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:21,599
I was like, Oh, those are kangaroos, And no, they're

59
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:25,080
not kangaroos. They're wallabies. Wallabies look like what you think

60
00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:29,400
kangaroos look like. Kangaroos look like eight feet tall versions

61
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,960
of what you think kangaroos look like. The wallabies a

62
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,680
little cute things and they hop Anyway, The police were

63
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,240
unable to capture Rex the Wallaby. He was later spotted

64
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,000
on video in a Walmart parking lot and then disappeared

65
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,120
into the woods. The next night, he was spotted once

66
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:49,919
again in the Walmart parking lot. That time, bystanders, including

67
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,879
several children and a parent, and some farm staff were

68
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:56,759
able to capture Rex the Wallaby. Rex was returned unharmed

69
00:03:56,759 --> 00:04:00,919
to the Lots of Love Farm. If you enjoy this

That's our big show. We talk about the royal family.

81
00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:28,279
Appreciate the support. An abandoned dog has become an unlikely

82
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,439
ambassador of peace. The dog has been tailing along with

83
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,600
Buddhist monks on a long distance mission promoting unity and compassion.

84
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,399
The monks are on a one hundred and twelve day

85
00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:42,480
piece walk. During the walk, a loca was found abandon

86
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,079
along the route. A loca of the dog chose to

87
00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:47,560
follow the monks as they walked, quickly becoming part of

88
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,120
the group. It wasn't easy. At one point, a local

89
00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:52,399
was struck by a car and later became pretty ill.

90
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,959
The monks appeared to spare him further hardship by placing

91
00:04:55,079 --> 00:04:56,920
him in a truck, but he jumped out of the

92
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,279
truck and wanted to walk with him all in all,

93
00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:01,879
who to take about one hundred and ten days. Good

94
00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:04,279
luck to everybody involved there, including the dog and those

95
00:05:04,319 --> 00:05:06,120

96
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:06,680
