00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: Caalaroga Shock Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five

2
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,119
good news stories the Dave Matthews Band. They're gonna tour

3
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,440
and while they're touring, they're gonna plant some trees. They

4
00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:21,239
put out a statement. Since beginning the tour back in

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,559
ninety one, Dave Matthews Band has incorporated sustainability initiatives into

6
00:00:25,559 --> 00:00:28,879
its live shows. They were named a United Nations Environmental

7
00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:32,359
Goodwill Ambassador in twenty nineteen. Over the past two years

8
00:00:32,359 --> 00:00:34,840
they've promoted the On the Road to Zero Waste tour.

9
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,719
They've diverted more than ninety percent of fan generated waste

10
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:43,240
away from landfills through reuse, composting, recycling, or donation. They'll

11
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,560
continue that this year. They have also paired up with

12
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:51,719
the Nature Conservancy to support global reforestation efforts. That partnership

13
00:00:51,759 --> 00:00:55,920
has already resulted in planting six million trees worldwide, another

14
00:00:56,039 --> 00:00:59,240
one million pledged in connection with the upcoming tour. Within

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,439
the United States alone, more than a million and a

16
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:04,040
half trees have been planted with support from the band.

17
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,959
Dave Matthew said in a video, nothing matters as much

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,480
as the survival of the planet. Planting a million trees

19
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,480
is a small step toward a cooler planet, toward cleaner air,

20
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,640
toward more wild places where plants and animals can thrive.

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,879
When you buy your ticket to the tour, you can

22
00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:22,079
contribute two dollars to plant a tree with each ticket purchased.

23
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,519
Congratulations to a mountain gorilla family in the Congo. They

24
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,079
are celebrating the birth of twins the Bajinny gorilla clan.

25
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,519
They live in Vitunga National Park. They now have fifty

26
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,879
nine members after an adult female Mkufu gave birth to

27
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:43,359
twin boys. Twins among mountain gorillas are extremely uncommon. Mccufoo,

28
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:46,319
now a mother of seven, was originally part of the

29
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:51,040
Kabreezy gorilla family. They suffered heavily from poaching. According to

30
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:54,920
the Independent, the global mountain gorilla population has risen to

31
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,120
around one thousand individuals, up from roughly four hundred in

32
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:02,560
the nineteen eighties. Wow job by the conservancy agencies out there.

33
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,359
A new device unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show aims

34
00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:10,599
to make Braille labeling easier for visually impaired people. It's

35
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,879
the Mnemonic Dot cost you just under a thousand dollars.

36
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,479
It's a printer that turns spoken words into peel and

37
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,080
stick Braill labels in seconds. The printer's about the size

38
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,840
of a small stack of coasters. It connects wiresolely to

39
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:25,919
a smartphone app. Users speak directly into the phone. The

40
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,759
app converts the speech to text and then translates that

41
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,560
text into Braill. The printer prints out raised dots onto

42
00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:37,639
adhesive strips. No Braill keyboarder training is required. Congratulations to

43
00:02:37,719 --> 00:02:42,319
a Swedish soccer enthusiast. Daniel broke the Guinness record when

44
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,479
he juggled the soccer ball using only his knees, chest,

45
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:49,039
head and feet for twenty eight hours, twenty one minutes

46
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,360
and two seconds. See Wow. Daniel took the record for

47
00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:56,319
longest marathon controlling a football mail division who is allowed

48
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,680
a fifteen minute break every three hours. The previous record

49
00:02:59,719 --> 00:03:02,360
was twenty six hours, set in twenty ten. The new

50
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,120
record again twenty eight hours and change. Daniel said, I

51
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,719
want to inspire others to push their limits, promote consistency

52
00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:10,080
and focus, and show how social media can be used

53
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,919
to spotlight positive changes and achievements. If you enjoy this

54
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,960
program and you're like, hey, Johnny Mack, this show would

55
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,599
be even better without the commercials. I get it, but

56
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,599
my Moorcer's company doesn't agree with you. So here's what

57
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,080
we're gonna do. You can go to the Apple Podcasts app.

58
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:27,319
There's a batner there that says uninterrupted listening. You click that,

59
00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:30,039
and then for five bucks a month you'll get this

60
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,639
show without commercial interruption, and a bunch of others on

61
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,280
the channel, including Daily Comedy News, which I host seven

62
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,759
days a week, and Palace Intrigue that's about the British

63
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,639
royal family, and a bunch of others like the Trivia

64
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,240
Show that comes with a thirty day free trial if

65
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,439
you want to try it out. All right, John, why

66
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,120
re elate for work this time? Well, you see, boss,

67
00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:50,520
a truck overturned and there were a bunch of crabs

68
00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:54,199
on the road. Yeah, in northern Ireland, a truck carrying

69
00:03:54,199 --> 00:03:58,319
as many as fifteen thousand crabs ran into a ditch.

70
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,599
The driver escaped with injury. After all, this is five

71
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,080
good news stories. But then there were seventy thousand dollars

72
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,120
worth of seafood on the road and the nearby fields.

73
00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:12,199
The truck company owner called it a highly unusual scene.

74
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:15,719
Many of the crabs, which were alive began heading into

75
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:19,240
the fields. A team of ten people had to manually

76
00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:21,480
grab the crabs, beg them up and put them back

77
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,680
on the truck. The recovery operation lasted about eighteen hours.

78
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,560
They think they got ninety five percent of the crabs back.

79
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,360
As for the other crabs, who knows. Good luck to you, fellas,

80
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,199
and those are your five good news stories for today.

81
00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:35,079
You have an awesome day.
