1 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 1: Kalaroga Shark Media congrat relations to Spootles, the parakeet. Spootles 2 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,640 is aged thirty two years in eighty six days and counting. 3 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,679 That set the record for oldest living parakeet in the world. 4 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,679 Parakeets typically live only fifteen to twenty years in captivity. 5 00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:27,160 That was not my experience growing up at all. I 6 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,839 would have been off by a factor of I don't 7 00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:32,280 know eight anyways. Spootles has been with her human friend 8 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,759 Amanda since nineteen ninety seven, when Amanda's mother gave her 9 00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:37,920 the bird as a gift. At the time, Spoodles was 10 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,560 already three years old. Amanda says Spootles isn't quite as 11 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,759 chatty as previously, but still greets each morning with the 12 00:00:44,799 --> 00:00:48,439 familiar phrase pretty bird. Amanda joked, I always say keeps 13 00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:51,119 not dying, so I keep feeding him harsh there. Well, 14 00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:55,000 good luck, Spootles. A Dominoes manager from Virginia has earned 15 00:00:55,039 --> 00:00:59,640 the title of World's Fastest Pizza Maker after assembling three 16 00:00:59,719 --> 00:01:04,200 large pizzas in just over thirty one seconds. Congratulations to Richard, 17 00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:07,239 who won the championship at the Domino's Worlds of Fastest 18 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,359 Pizza Making competition in Las Vegas. What you have to do. 19 00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:14,920 You had to prepare three large pizzas, one pepperoni, one mushroom, 20 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,439 one cheese while meeting strict Domino standards for dough sauce, 21 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,400 cheese and toppings. Richard completed all three and thirty one 22 00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:26,280 point two to two seconds. He earned a five thousand 23 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,480 dollars prize, a trophy and a championship belt. Where you 24 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,239 wear the belt, I don't know, Richard said, winning this 25 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,840 title means so much to me. The competition isn't just 26 00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:37,840 about speed. It's about delivering quality under pressure, just like 27 00:01:37,879 --> 00:01:42,480 we do in stores every day from Australia where they 28 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,879 have all kinds of things that'll kill you. A routine 29 00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:47,200 call to remove a snake from a bedroom, you know, 30 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,159 a routine call happens every day. Hey, we got a 31 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,760 snake in the bedroom. I'll be right over. Stuart was 32 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,400 called to a hope in Queensland after a resident discovered 33 00:01:54,439 --> 00:01:58,319 a large carpet python inside the bedroom. But when Stewart 34 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,000 entered the room, he spotted something else above the bed. 35 00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:04,920 It was a giant Huntsman spider. Video of the rescue 36 00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:08,639 show Stewart carefully removing the carpet python. With a snake hook. 37 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,759 I guess what else would use the snake cook for? Right, 38 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,240 before using his hat to safely capture the spider. The 39 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,960 spider was released outside the home. The python was relocated 40 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,479 to a nearby wooded area. Neither the homeowners nor the 41 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,240 animals were harmed. In California, a camping trip took an 42 00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:29,159 unfortunate turn when one man's attempt to recover a pair 43 00:02:29,159 --> 00:02:32,960 of drop sunglasses ended with an emergency rescue. John, this 44 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,280 doesn't sound like good news, no, but you're gonna tell 45 00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:38,000 your friends about it. Authorities were called to camp Edison 46 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,240 after the man became trapped inside the holding tank beneath 47 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,639 a campground vault toilet. You ever been in one of those, 48 00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:47,240 You know what it looks like at the bottom of 49 00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:50,840 the pit. Now imagine you lost your sunglasses and you 50 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,400 reached in to retrieve them, you lose your balance and 51 00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:57,639 you fall into that tank. Oh my goodness. Deputies and 52 00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:00,759 firefighters pulled the man out after about fifty ten minutes. 53 00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:03,479 The man went through a decontamination process because of his 54 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,840 exposure to waste and gleaning chemicals. The best part of 55 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,319 this story is no one bothered to mention whether or 56 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,360 not he actually got the sunglasses back. In Montana, drivers 57 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,680 on the interest date got a surprise when the Big 58 00:03:16,719 --> 00:03:20,360 Banana Car was pulled over by the Montana Highway Patrol. 59 00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:22,919 That's right, the Big Banana Car. It's a bright yellow vehicle. 60 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,680 You would imagine it's shaped like a giant banana. Yeah, 61 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,759 that all tracks. It was stopped near Billings, but here's why. 62 00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:33,159 The boxes strapped to the cargo rack were partially blocking 63 00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:38,199 the vehicle's license plate, which reads split. The troopers pointed 64 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,759 it out, had a friendly conversation with the driver of 65 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,039 the Big Banana Car and sent him on his way 66 00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:46,639 without issuing a ticket. The Big Banana Car started its 67 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,840 life as a nineteen ninety three Ford F one to 68 00:03:48,919 --> 00:03:52,560 fifty pickup truck. The owner sold most of his belongings 69 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,039 and now just drives the Big Banana Car all around. 70 00:03:55,479 --> 00:03:58,240 He says he gets pulled over frequently simply because people 71 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,000 want a closer look at the car. But this time 72 00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:02,960 the police out a legit reason to pull over the 73 00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:05,360 Big Banana Car. And those are your five good news 74 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,800 stories for today. Have a great day.
