Speaker 1: Kalaroka Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five
good news stories. Congratulations to Alan. He holds the world's
record for most years digging graves, the record seventy three years.
Alan is retiring at age ninety two after digging graves
at Galveston Cemetery in Indiana for seventy three years and
seventy five days. He got the job after covering the
shift of the previous guy who was supposed to cover
for a week back in nineteen fifty two. It turned
into a career and by twenty twenty one he had
the record for longest career as a grave digger. Previous
record sixty eight years, one hundred ninety one days. His
son Dean, said he was planning on digging for a
few more weeks, but after a spell of not feeling well,
we believe he's accepted his decision, both mentally and physically.
Alan is feeling better. In case you're curious, the Auguinness
World Record said the auction of the cheetahzard has resulted
in a new record. Now, if you're like, what's a cheetosard,
obviously it is a flaming hot cheeto shaped like the
Pokemon Cherizard, the cheetosard was auctioned off for eighty seven thousand,
eight hundred and forty dollars, proving someone has too much
money or maybe they don't anymore. That earned the record
for highest price paid for a video game Likeness corn
Snack Dave is the head of consignment for Golden Auctions.
He said, part of what makes this item so fun
and unique is it bridges two fandoms, Pokemon and Cheetos.
The Cheeto was originally purchased on eBay by Paul for
three hundred and fifty dollars, and I'll remind you he
sold it for eighty seven, eight hundred and forty dollars.
Who bought that. I don't know. Nice job by a
waitress in Florida. Gloria has quietly built one of the
most impactful grassroots feeding operations in the country, serving more
than two hundred and seventy thousand meals to people experiencing
homelessness since twenty twelve. Gloria is a sixty two year
old immigrant from Barbados. She started small cooking out of
her home and four Lauderdale with whatever she could afford
from her waitress salary. She said, I started with buying
a little bit of spaghetti and ground beef, and I
started with forty meals. The next week, I went to sixty,
then eighty. Before you knew it, it was two hundred meals
every weekend. Today she purchases large quantities of chicken, fish,
fresh produce, rice, bread, and bottled water, enough to feed
one hundred and seventy five to two hundred people regularly.
At the peak during COVID, she was serving up to
six hundred meals. She says, when it's cold, wendy, raining
doesn't matter, we have to show up. A warning from
the hardin County Sheriff's office, Please do not try to
approach or catch the emu. Authorities in Kentucky have said,
Mystery the emu got loose when storms knocked down her
shelter in her fence. Mystery the emu escaped from the
owner's property on Salt River Road, you know the place.
The police said, Please do not try to approach or
catch her. EMUs will run if frightened, which makes it
harder for her owner to safely get her home. At
the time of this recording, I have no update on
the emu name mystery. It remains mystery, all right, John,
Why relead for work this time? Well? Yeah, see, boss,
and I was driving there on the itin in California
and suddenly this truck turns over and spilled syrup all
over the road. Yeah no, this happened. Boston closed the
highway for like nine hours. Hundreds of gallons of syrup
were spilled all over the tin coltrans showed up. They
tried to use an absorbent material to clean up the syrup,
but it was too sticky, so they had to bring
a water truck to hose down the roadway. The westbound
lanes were closed for like nine hours, and they didn't
open up the lanes until eight pm. So that's why
I was late. And those are five good news stores
for today. I have a good one.
