1 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. 2 00:00:10,439 --> 00:00:13,199 If you skip Thursday's episode, it was Thanksgiving. I get it. 3 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,399 I'm not offended. Go back and listen because story number 4 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,359 five is particularly fun. Just trust me, Go back and 5 00:00:19,399 --> 00:00:22,239 at least listen to the fifth story. All right, today 6 00:00:22,719 --> 00:00:25,480 good news If you vaguely look like Timothy Shalla May. 7 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,320 There's a whole group of you guys yeah in New York, 8 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,079 a loose collective of Timothy Shalla May lookalikes now considers 9 00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:35,759 itself something of a brotherhood. They formed after an unofficial 10 00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:39,840 contest in Washington Square Park last October. That event drew 11 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,759 thousands of people. I remember telling you about it, and 12 00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:44,960 even Timothy Shalla May showed up. Now the group says, 13 00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:47,719 you know, they have similar dark wavy here, but they 14 00:00:47,759 --> 00:00:50,079 acknowledged that they don't much look like each other, but 15 00:00:50,119 --> 00:00:52,320 they all sort of look like Timothy's Shalla May, and 16 00:00:52,359 --> 00:00:55,000 they referred to each other as the brothers Challa May. 17 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,479 One guy in the group took some photos and put 18 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,280 out a book called Call Me Timothy. He said, it's 19 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,439 sort of a high representation of something that you could 20 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,959 argue is a little low brow Sergio, a former hairstylist 21 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,480 for Elton John and Niel Sedaka, love the details in 22 00:01:10,519 --> 00:01:13,159 this story. He was at the contest searching for talent 23 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,439 for his hair product line. He says, Chela may increase 24 00:01:16,519 --> 00:01:19,760 my business and no one guy went all inception on this. 25 00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:22,159 He says, best case scenario, if I do become a 26 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,560 successful actor, then I could say this all came from 27 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,959 a YouTuber who made a lookalike contest of another actor, 28 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,760 and then someone's going to make a lookalike contest of 29 00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:30,239 me in the future, and someone's going to win that, 30 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,920 and then they're going to become an actor. In England, 31 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,840 a naughty flamingo has escaped from a wildlife sanctuary. They're 32 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,239 asking the public keep an eye out for a naughty 33 00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:44,680 teenager flamingo. The flamingo vaulted over the wall. Nick the 34 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,000 sanctuary owner, said, I don't think she knows what she's 35 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,120 looking for, to be honest, she's just like a naughty teenager. 36 00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:51,799 We had sightings back down and hide and she's been spotted, 37 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,480 so we're desperate to hear that someone's found her. We 38 00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:55,760 need to get her back as soon as possible, or 39 00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:58,519 really beside ourselves to be honest, want you know if 40 00:01:58,519 --> 00:02:01,280 they find the flamingo. They did find a dog five 41 00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:04,879 years later, five hundred and twenty miles from home loos Dale. 42 00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:09,719 The chihuahua disappeared five years ago. Christy and Josh never 43 00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:12,479 knew what happened to the chihuahua. It was found wandering 44 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,400 the streets of Florida. Five years later. Brianna and Daniel 45 00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:18,800 are a couple. They found the dog. They took care 46 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,159 of it for a while, posted on Facebook. Eventually took 47 00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:23,639 it to shelter. The microchip scan showed the dog had 48 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,759 been reported missing five hundred and twenty miles away. Again, 49 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,840 it's a chihuahua, the owner say. It appears that the 50 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,400 dog had been cared for during the time she was missing. 51 00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:35,360 She's a little bigger and she's put on a little weight. 52 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,080 In Australia, the man with the world's longest name read 53 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,919 out his world's longest name. It features more than two 54 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,439 thousand middle names. It took him more than an hour 55 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,159 to accomplish. Lawrence Watkins, I won't read his entire name. 56 00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:50,879 I mean, how long do you want the podcast to be? 57 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,719 Had his name legally changed in nineteen ninety to include 58 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,400 two hundred and fifty one middle names, earning him the 59 00:02:57,439 --> 00:03:01,400 Guinness World Record for longest personal name with twy two 60 00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:04,719 hundred and fifty three unique words. He said at his 61 00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:07,319 wedding it took the officials twenty minutes to read his 62 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,960 full name, but when he read his own name for 63 00:03:10,039 --> 00:03:12,919 the Guinness video, it took more than an hour. His 64 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,680 favorite of his names is Azy two thousand. He explains 65 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,319 that means I have names from A to Z and 66 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,719 I have two thousand names. And if you feel like 67 00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:25,479 you're going cuckoo on Long Island, well you're not. Bird 68 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,000 watchers are all excited. Local birdwatchers spotted a cuckoo. No, 69 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,400 a cuckoo is normally found from Europe to Japan. It 70 00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:35,680 winters primarily in Africa. It was spotted in Riverhead, so 71 00:03:35,719 --> 00:03:38,159 that's kind of out on the far end of Long Island, 72 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:40,439 out by the Hampton's kind of sort of. The cuckoo 73 00:03:40,479 --> 00:03:42,719 was spotted by a golfer who sent the image to 74 00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:46,599 his nephew, who is an avid birder. The birder passed 75 00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:50,919 along to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca experts confirmed, yep, 76 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,520 it's a cuckoo. Since then, the cuckoo has been logged 77 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,560 more than two hundred times on the birding site e 78 00:03:55,759 --> 00:03:59,599 bird dot org. Experts aren't sure how it got there. 79 00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:02,520 They say it's juvenile, meaning it hatched earlier this year 80 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,439 and likely became lost or blown off course during its 81 00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:09,400 migratory journey. Researchers say the common cuckoo has been documented 82 00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:12,400 only three other times in the eastern US and Canada. 83 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,040 Jay who works at Cornell says this is definitely a 84 00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:18,439 major event for anyone birding in New York State and 85 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,720 unusual enough for the broader region for a chance to 86 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,079 see a bird they would otherwise be unlikely to see 87 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,839 unless they went to Europe are Asia. If people see it, 88 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,480 don't approach it, Leave it be, and those your five 89 00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:32,360 good news stories for today. Have a good day.
