He holds the world's 3 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,920 record for most years digging graves, the record seventy three years. 4 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,719 Alan is retiring at age ninety two after digging graves 5 00:00:22,719 --> 00:00:25,920 at Galveston Cemetery in Indiana for seventy three years and 6 00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:30,399 seventy five days. He got the job after covering the 7 00:00:30,399 --> 00:00:33,320 shift of the previous guy who was supposed to cover 8 00:00:33,399 --> 00:00:35,759 for a week back in nineteen fifty two. It turned 9 00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:38,799 into a career and by twenty twenty one he had 10 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,799 the record for longest career as a grave digger. Previous 11 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,479 record sixty eight years, one hundred ninety one days. His 12 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,600 son Dean, said he was planning on digging for a 13 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,039 few more weeks, but after a spell of not feeling well, 14 00:00:49,119 --> 00:00:52,240 we believe he's accepted his decision, both mentally and physically. 15 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,759 Alan is feeling better. In case you're curious, the Auguinness 16 00:00:55,799 --> 00:00:59,719 World Record said the auction of the cheetahzard has resulted 17 00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:01,920 in a new record. Now, if you're like, what's a cheetosard, 18 00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:04,959 obviously it is a flaming hot cheeto shaped like the 19 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,719 Pokemon Cherizard, the cheetosard was auctioned off for eighty seven thousand, 20 00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:12,640 eight hundred and forty dollars, proving someone has too much 21 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,640 money or maybe they don't anymore. That earned the record 22 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,400 for highest price paid for a video game Likeness corn 23 00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:23,400 Snack Dave is the head of consignment for Golden Auctions. 24 00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:25,560 He said, part of what makes this item so fun 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,120 and unique is it bridges two fandoms, Pokemon and Cheetos. 26 00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:32,959 The Cheeto was originally purchased on eBay by Paul for 27 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,400 three hundred and fifty dollars, and I'll remind you he 28 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,480 sold it for eighty seven, eight hundred and forty dollars. 29 00:01:39,519 --> 00:01:43,040 Who bought that. I don't know. Nice job by a 30 00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:46,200 waitress in Florida. Gloria has quietly built one of the 31 00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:49,840 most impactful grassroots feeding operations in the country, serving more 32 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,480 than two hundred and seventy thousand meals to people experiencing 33 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,560 homelessness since twenty twelve. Gloria is a sixty two year 34 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,319 old immigrant from Barbados. She started small cooking out of 35 00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:01,640 her home and four Lauderdale with whatever she could afford 36 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,280 from her waitress salary. She said, I started with buying 37 00:02:04,319 --> 00:02:06,000 a little bit of spaghetti and ground beef, and I 38 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,639 started with forty meals. The next week, I went to sixty, 39 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,719 then eighty. Before you knew it, it was two hundred meals 40 00:02:10,719 --> 00:02:14,840 every weekend. Today she purchases large quantities of chicken, fish, 41 00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:17,520 fresh produce, rice, bread, and bottled water, enough to feed 42 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,759 one hundred and seventy five to two hundred people regularly. 43 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,560 At the peak during COVID, she was serving up to 44 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,919 six hundred meals. She says, when it's cold, wendy, raining 45 00:02:26,039 --> 00:02:29,000 doesn't matter, we have to show up. A warning from 46 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,840 the hardin County Sheriff's office, Please do not try to 47 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,759 approach or catch the emu. Authorities in Kentucky have said, 48 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,560 Mystery the emu got loose when storms knocked down her 49 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,479 shelter in her fence. Mystery the emu escaped from the 50 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,439 owner's property on Salt River Road, you know the place. 51 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,919 The police said, Please do not try to approach or 52 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,360 catch her. EMUs will run if frightened, which makes it 53 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,199 harder for her owner to safely get her home. At 54 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,800 the time of this recording, I have no update on 55 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:03,879 the emu name mystery. It remains mystery, all right, John, 56 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,560 Why relead for work this time? Well? Yeah, see, boss, 57 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,800 and I was driving there on the itin in California 58 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,960 and suddenly this truck turns over and spilled syrup all 59 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,159 over the road. Yeah no, this happened. Boston closed the 60 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,479 highway for like nine hours. Hundreds of gallons of syrup 61 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,759 were spilled all over the tin coltrans showed up. They 62 00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:25,039 tried to use an absorbent material to clean up the syrup, 63 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,919 but it was too sticky, so they had to bring 64 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,280 a water truck to hose down the roadway. The westbound 65 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,000 lanes were closed for like nine hours, and they didn't 66 00:03:32,039 --> 00:03:34,520 open up the lanes until eight pm. So that's why 67 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,800 I was late. And those are five good news stores 68 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:37,879 for today. I have a good one.
