Hey, hey guys, I hope everyone is doing good today. Hope everyone is doing good today. Just keep it going, broadcasting here in the cave in Florida, next to a river.
Good times, good times. Let's get a ride up here and see what is going on in local news. And we can get that ball rolling here in ExoFiles.
**Ryan** (1:26)
Hello there, Knight.
**Knight** (1:28)
How are you doing today, Ryan? Can I get global news, some weird news and no local news, please?
**Ryan** (1:37)
Absolutely. Let's get you caught up on what's happening around the globe. In the latest global news, tensions are on the rise between the US and Iran, with President Trump calling Iran extremely plicitous after Tehran denied that any talks would take place.
Over in Europe, there are ongoing challenges as the Rhine River is reaching record low levels due to drought, which is affecting trade across Europe.
In Greece, wildfires continue to cause trouble with firefighting efforts ongoing. Now, on the lighter side, some truly quirky stories have been making the rounds. For instance, an 82-year-old woman in North Carolina managed to survive nine days stuck in her bathtub before being rescued.
Meanwhile, a man in Missouri had quite the ordeal after falling into a portable restroom toilet tank in his quest to retrieve a bottle of soda. Over in Russia, a student ended up performing at a concert after someone handed him a keyboard unexpectedly.
There's never a dull moment. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to dive into.
**Knight** (2:36)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Strange and quirky stuff, man. What's going on in the last 24 hours?
**Ryan** (2:42)
Absolutely. Let's dive into some of the strange and quirky stories from the past day or so. One bizarre story comes from France, where a local cheese festival had to be evacuated after a goat managed to steal a wheel of cheese and cause a bit of chaos in the process.
**Knight** (2:56)
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. The goat stole some cheese in the festival?
**Ryan** (3:03)
It did indeed. Apparently, the goat wanted-
**Knight** (3:07)
That's fucking awesome.
**SPEAKER_4** (3:09)
This goat really decide like, you know, I choose violence.
**Knight** (3:14)
That's, that's awesome.
**Ryan** (3:15)
Absolutely. It's like the goat just thought, today I'm on a mission. Sometimes the animal kingdom really does give us some of the best stories.
**Knight** (3:23)
Yeah, sometimes you can't expect. I mean, that's awesome. That's awesome. If that was the case, man, that is fucking delightful information.
You never, you never know. You never know. Especially when you're in the middle of a festival. When he took off running probably with the freaking cheese thinking that he's going somewhere with it. That's that's next tier.
Fucking entertaining as hell.
**Ryan** (3:48)
Absolutely. It's that kind of unexpected chaos that just makes you laugh. You can just imagine the Ingo dashing off like it's starring in its own little heist movie. It's definitely a story for the books.
**Knight** (3:58)
Most, most definitely. Some things you just, you can't, you can't fucking make up, man.
Just can't make up. That's hilarious.
**Ryan** (4:06)
Exactly. Some moments are just too wild to invent. It's those real life surprises that really give us the best laughs.
**Knight** (4:13)
That is awesome. Oh, that's, that's actually pretty refreshing.
**Ryan** (4:19)
It really is refreshing. It's like a spontaneous little burst of fun that you just don't see coming.
**Knight** (4:26)
All right. So you were going China was going on China, weird stuff.
**Ryan** (4:30)
Yeah, there's definitely been some interesting and unusual news coming out of China lately. Let me still you it on a few highlights.
**Knight** (4:37)
Okay, go ahead. Go ahead and tell me.
**Ryan** (4:39)
Well, there are definitely some quirky stories coming out of China right now. For example, there's a haunted apartment in Chengdu that's been auctioned off three times because it just won't sell. People are joking about how haunted it must be. There's also a strange story about a building where they installed a lift that only stops at one floor to save money.
It's definitely a mix of the unusual and the gown right entertaining.
**Knight** (5:05)
That is awesome.
**Ryan** (5:07)
It really is. It's those kinds of stories that keep things interesting and give you a good chuckle.
**Knight** (5:12)
Yeah, sometimes you just got to go with it, man. I'll tell you what, it's next to hilarious.
**Ryan** (5:18)
Absolutely. Sometimes you just have to roll with the weirdness and enjoy the laugh. It's all part of the fun.
**Knight** (5:24)
No, 100% I agree with you. What's going on, Bantos?
I hope you're doing good today.
