Speaker 1: Caalaroga Shock Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five
good news stories the Dave Matthews Band. They're gonna tour
and while they're touring, they're gonna plant some trees. They
put out a statement. Since beginning the tour back in
ninety one, Dave Matthews Band has incorporated sustainability initiatives into
its live shows. They were named a United Nations Environmental
Goodwill Ambassador in twenty nineteen. Over the past two years
they've promoted the On the Road to Zero Waste tour.
They've diverted more than ninety percent of fan generated waste
away from landfills through reuse, composting, recycling, or donation. They'll
continue that this year. They have also paired up with
the Nature Conservancy to support global reforestation efforts. That partnership
has already resulted in planting six million trees worldwide, another
one million pledged in connection with the upcoming tour. Within
the United States alone, more than a million and a
half trees have been planted with support from the band.
Dave Matthew said in a video, nothing matters as much
as the survival of the planet. Planting a million trees
is a small step toward a cooler planet, toward cleaner air,
toward more wild places where plants and animals can thrive.
When you buy your ticket to the tour, you can
contribute two dollars to plant a tree with each ticket purchased.
Congratulations to a mountain gorilla family in the Congo. They
are celebrating the birth of twins the Bajinny gorilla clan.
They live in Vitunga National Park. They now have fifty
nine members after an adult female Mkufu gave birth to
twin boys. Twins among mountain gorillas are extremely uncommon. Mccufoo,
now a mother of seven, was originally part of the
Kabreezy gorilla family. They suffered heavily from poaching. According to
the Independent, the global mountain gorilla population has risen to
around one thousand individuals, up from roughly four hundred in
the nineteen eighties. Wow job by the conservancy agencies out there.
A new device unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show aims
to make Braille labeling easier for visually impaired people. It's
the Mnemonic Dot cost you just under a thousand dollars.
It's a printer that turns spoken words into peel and
stick Braill labels in seconds. The printer's about the size
of a small stack of coasters. It connects wiresolely to
a smartphone app. Users speak directly into the phone. The
app converts the speech to text and then translates that
text into Braill. The printer prints out raised dots onto
adhesive strips. No Braill keyboarder training is required. Congratulations to
a Swedish soccer enthusiast. Daniel broke the Guinness record when
he juggled the soccer ball using only his knees, chest,
head and feet for twenty eight hours, twenty one minutes
and two seconds. See Wow. Daniel took the record for
longest marathon controlling a football mail division who is allowed
a fifteen minute break every three hours. The previous record
was twenty six hours, set in twenty ten. The new
record again twenty eight hours and change. Daniel said, I
want to inspire others to push their limits, promote consistency
and focus, and show how social media can be used
to spotlight positive changes and achievements. If you enjoy this
program and you're like, hey, Johnny Mack, this show would
be even better without the commercials. I get it, but
my Moorcer's company doesn't agree with you. So here's what
we're gonna do. You can go to the Apple Podcasts app.
There's a batner there that says uninterrupted listening. You click that,
and then for five bucks a month you'll get this
show without commercial interruption, and a bunch of others on
the channel, including Daily Comedy News, which I host seven
days a week, and Palace Intrigue that's about the British
royal family, and a bunch of others like the Trivia
Show that comes with a thirty day free trial if
you want to try it out. All right, John, why
re elate for work this time? Well, you see, boss,
a truck overturned and there were a bunch of crabs
on the road. Yeah, in northern Ireland, a truck carrying
as many as fifteen thousand crabs ran into a ditch.
The driver escaped with injury. After all, this is five
good news stories. But then there were seventy thousand dollars
worth of seafood on the road and the nearby fields.
The truck company owner called it a highly unusual scene.
Many of the crabs, which were alive began heading into
the fields. A team of ten people had to manually
grab the crabs, beg them up and put them back
on the truck. The recovery operation lasted about eighteen hours.
They think they got ninety five percent of the crabs back.
As for the other crabs, who knows. Good luck to you, fellas,
and those are your five good news stories for today.
You have an awesome day.
