1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Fred's show is on it Feels Good, Good News, Happy Stories.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: We share him with you every day on the show

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: What'd you Find Cape.

4
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 2: So, for the first time in over sixty years, one

5
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: hundred and five year old eclipse chaser Laverne Biser had

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: the path of totality near his home yesterday, and he

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: was born in nineteen eighteen. This will mark or that

8
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: marked yesterday, the thirteenth eclipse that he's experienced in his lifetime.

9
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: In a video on social he, Laverne, who will turn

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: one hundred and six in June, said he grew up

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: on a farm and when he did, he has fond

12
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: memories of the sky getting so dark that you could

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: see the Big Dipper o'briyan all the constellations, which is

14
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: what first made him fall in love with this. His

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: wife passed away last year at ninety seven, but the

16
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: last trip they took together was to see the total

17
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: solar eclipse in Nebraska in twenty seventeen, so he said

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: he was going to be thinking about her.

19
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yes, I don't know. I had to do

20
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: this story. It's kind of random, but disaster struck when

21
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: a truck transporting one hundred two thousand young salmon to

22
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: a hatchery, and Oregon overturned and the giant fish tank

23
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: that was carrying all these fish exploded and the fish

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: went everywhere. Except the good news is they were right

25
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: next to a river, and the vast majority of them

26
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: jumped right back in the river and swam away. Breathe

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: the fish like, forget this. So luck was on the

28
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: side of these tiny little salmon fish, almost all of

29
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: whom were able to ride the wave of water out

30
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: of the tank and then into a creek which is

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: a waterway that connects the hatchery that they were traveling to.

32
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: So some of them did pass, but the vast majority

33
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,639
Speaker 1: came out of the truck and slam away. Oh wow,

34
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: that's like our little friend, remember a little piggy George

35
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: who fell off the truck on his way to the factory.

36
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: And then they, you know, they found him and then

37
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: got his turnia fixed and now he lives on a farm.

38
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that's good luck. You're on your way to

39
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: the farm and then you jump off. And so these

40
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: guys they were on their waiting and become big fishies.

41
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: Yeah right, and then wind up in Kiki's air fryer,

42
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: and I think I might have some tonight. None of these, though,

43
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: swimming away from your ass right now. More pread show next,
