00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Caalaroga Shock Media. There are Shining Mack with five good

2
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:13.119
<v Speaker 1>news stories. The World Cup is coming to an end.

3
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I've loved every second of it. I've been watching so

4
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:18.519
<v Speaker 1>many games, and a lot of Europeans came to the

5
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:22.839
<v Speaker 1>States and really enjoyed. Our traditions are big stadiums and

6
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 1>apparently ranch dressing. Well. I have bad news for the Europeans,

7
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I guess. So maybe this isn't a good news story,

8
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:33.600
<v Speaker 1>but it's a fun one. The Transportation Security Administration aka

9
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.759
<v Speaker 1>the TSA has an important message for fans heading home

10
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>after the World Cup. If you fell in love with

11
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>ranch packet and your checked luggage, that's right. The TSA posted,

12
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:47.039
<v Speaker 1>ranch is the king of condiments, and they noted that

13
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>it pairs with everything from pizza and chicken wings to fries, chips, vegetables,

14
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>and more. However, they warn travelers airport security rules still apply.

15
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Any container of ranch dressing larger than three point four

16
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>ounces cannot be carried through security checkpoints. Travelers will need

17
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 1>to place larger bottles in check baggage, surrender them at security, or,

18
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:10.040
<v Speaker 1>as the TSA suggested, avoid trying to drink the ranch

19
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 1>before boarding. Now Kraft Nosha guys love the ranch. They

20
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>have made special travel friendly kits featuring individual ranch packets

21
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>packed inside a TSA compliant clear bag. The company said

22
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>some visitors leave with souvenirs, others leave with America's favorite dressing. Meanwhile,

23
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 1>a cat in Ireland had become one of the hottest

24
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:35.439
<v Speaker 1>predictors of the World Cup. Billy predicted the winner of

25
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:39.239
<v Speaker 1>the first nineteen matches that hadn't ended in a draw.

26
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.359
<v Speaker 1>Billy's human friends came up with the idea by placing

27
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 1>two national flags in front of Billy before each match.

28
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Billy then made a selection with his paw, and somehow

29
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the cat kept getting it right. Now, I'm going to guess,

30
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>perhaps possibly maybe that they filmed both versions and only

31
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>released the correct one. Anyway, Billy the cat predicted wins

32
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:01.519
<v Speaker 1>by the US, England, France, Germany, Pan Argentina and several

33
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>other nations. One of Billy's humans friends says, as a cat,

34
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.319
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't seem to be bothered that he's an online influencer.

35
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.520
<v Speaker 1>To us, He's still our cat, Still Billy. There have

36
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>been problems. Billy's human friends said there was one incident

37
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 1>where the whole thing was interrupted because there was a

38
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:18.520
<v Speaker 1>fly in the house and he couldn't concentrate. Congratulations to

39
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.919
<v Speaker 1>a skateboarder who crossed the United States of America coast

40
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 1>to coast in just thirty nine days. Chad rolled up

41
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>into Jacksonville, Florida, after traveling more than three thousand miles

42
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.520
<v Speaker 1>from Venice Beach, California. It took thirty nine days, an

43
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.639
<v Speaker 1>incredible seventy two miles a day on a skateboard. He

44
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:36.919
<v Speaker 1>broke the record. The record he broke was his own.

45
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.520
<v Speaker 1>He shaved more than two weeks off his previous time.

46
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>That's no joke. Chad explained that the trek marked ten

47
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:45.400
<v Speaker 1>years of sobriety. Skateboarding was the thing that kept me

48
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:46.960
<v Speaker 1>out of trouble. I did it my whole life. I

49
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:48.599
<v Speaker 1>was obsessed with it. I got injured and I ended

50
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>up quitting. Brought it back and everything turned out better.

51
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 1>Here's an unexpected health tip from scientist. If you just

52
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.919
<v Speaker 1>had a salad, a piece of bubblegum might actually help

53
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.560
<v Speaker 1>your heart. Researchers have found that chewing sugary gum after

54
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:05.280
<v Speaker 1>consuming nitrate rich vegetables can boost the body's ability to

55
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.479
<v Speaker 1>produce nitric oxide, a compound that helps improve blood flow

56
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:12.080
<v Speaker 1>and lower blood pressure. The study focused on vegetables such

57
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.039
<v Speaker 1>as spinach, kale, and beats. You know, the kind of

58
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>stuff you might throw in a salad there. Those contain

59
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>high levels of nitrates. Nitrates are good for cardiovascular health. However,

60
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 1>before the body can benefit, bacteria in the month have

61
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.919
<v Speaker 1>to help convert them into nitric oxide. Researchers wondered could

62
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>chewing gum help enhance that process. To find out, participants

63
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:36.919
<v Speaker 1>drength beetroot juice and then chewed sugary bubblegum or a

64
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>sugar free alternative for several hours. The researchers found the

65
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.039
<v Speaker 1>sugary gum increased levels of nitrate in the mouth by

66
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>about forty five percent. So I guess you could say

67
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.879
<v Speaker 1>four out of five scientists prefer sugary gum. All right,

68
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Congratulations to Jonathan the giant tortoise. Jonathan has officially extended

69
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.360
<v Speaker 1>his title as the world's oldest living land animal. Nathan

70
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>the tortoise is one hundred and ninety four. You'll find

71
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan on Saint Helena, a British territory thousands of miles

72
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.319
<v Speaker 1>from any continent. Jonathan arrived there in eighteen eighty two,

73
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:14.479
<v Speaker 1>already fully grown. Based on records and photographs, experts estimate

74
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>he was born no later than eighteen thirty two. Some

75
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 1>believe he could be even older. Governor Nigel Phillips great name, said,

76
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan the Tortoise is a beloved resident of Saint Helena.

77
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.839
<v Speaker 1>He's met royalty, starting wedding photographs and delighted tourists. Age

78
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.480
<v Speaker 1>has brought some challenges, as caretaker said he's lost his

79
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 1>eyesight and a sense of smell. But at age one

80
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.040
<v Speaker 1>ninety four, Jonathan still enjoys many of life's pleasures, including eating, sunbathing,

81
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 1>and spending time with fellow tortoises. And those are your

82
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.319
<v Speaker 1>five good news stories for today. Have a great day.
