Speaker 1 (00:03):
Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five
good news stories. Good news for eight year old William.
He's got a stuffed animal back. Yeah. The family was
heading home from a ski holiday. They stopped off at
a restop in Wyoming and there was a lot of
wind on the interstate that day. William was in the
(00:25):
back of the car with the dog, plushy named Dog.
Mom went out to get sandwiches from the cooler in
the trunk. When William opened the door, there was some
winds and off went dog. Dog landed in some high weeds.
They couldn't find it. Nobody noticed until they got to
the motel in Kansas and dog was missing. They cleaned
out the car, couldn't find dog. William. Of course, upset
(00:48):
Dad used Google Maps to find the rest area where
they had eaten lunch. They saw it was in Carbon County.
They contacted the local sheriff's department. Bill wrote an email,
Dear Sheriff, here's what happened. The next morning I got
an email back from the sheriff. I commend you for
taking your child's emotional well being so seriously. Nothing would
make me happier than seeing if we can help insure
(01:08):
dog's safe return to Saint Louis. Our patrol division has
been notified. I'll attempt to search the area later today.
Please tell your son were on the case. They did that.
The sheriff texted Deputy Tyler and said, hey, go look
for the stuffed animal if you got some time. The
deputy was like, that's weird, but okay. Well, Bill got
an email, a text, and a voicemail from the sheriff.
Good news, we found dog Zena. The cat has been
(01:32):
reunited with her family in Florida. She was found in
a North Carolina animal shelter nine hundred miles from home.
The police had responded to a report of an injured cat.
They were able to capture the feline and bring it
back to the shelter. The shelter had one of those chips.
How did the cat make it so far? Apparently the
cat had wriggled out of a harness. When the family
(01:53):
visited the area during Fourth of July weekend, they apparently
hadn't found the cat. They made the nine hundred mile
drive and picked up the cat. It's good congratulations, a
guest to Christian. Christian broke the world record four fastest
backward one hundred meters in heels. These records are out
of control, folks. We got to dial this back a
little bit. I like the content, but what are we
(02:14):
doing anymore? Christian did one hundred meters backwards in high
heels in sixteen point five five seconds. The previous record
was a really slow twenty point oh five seconds. No
wonder he broke it. There are rules. The heels had
to at least be two point seven six inches and
no wider than point five to nine inches, So don't
(02:35):
show up with some point six inch heels. Those don't count.
We take this seriously. Now. This dude holds eighty Guinness
World Record titles. Again, I don't know what we're doing, folks.
Those records include fastest four hundred meters in clogs one
minute one point three eight seconds, Fastest one hundred meters
wearing flip flops twelve ten seconds, Fastest mile traveled while
(02:55):
balancing a pool queue on a finger five and fifty
two point three seconds. Fastest one hundred meters on a
spacehopper twenty nine point nine one seconds. Fastest one hundred
meters carrying an egg on a spoon in the mouth,
seventeen point twenty one seconds, and of course, the fastest
fifty meters backwards wearing swim fins eight point eight two seconds. Well,
(03:17):
good news for the drunk raccoon. A nurse in Kentucky
found a drunk raccoon in a dumpster. She decided she
would save its life. She explained to the news she
was curious because the dumpster smelled like alcohol. She went
over and found the raccoon. Apparently, the distillery had discarded
some fermented peaches in the dumpster and two juvenile raccoons
(03:40):
had gotten stuck. She told the local news. I was like,
we have to get them out. Was the motherly instinct
in me, because I saw that mom and she was
trying so hard to get her babies back, and she
didn't know what to do. So the nights Lady Misty,
she got a shovel, got one of the babies out
pretty easy, but the second was lying in water, which
was probably flammable at that point, seemed unconscious. Immediately I
(04:00):
started doing CPR on the raccoon. The entire time I
was afraid it would wake up and eat me, and
raccoons carry raebies. I was afraid of that. Incredibly, the
raccoon recovered and was taken to animal control to sober
up at the local vet. Nice job there and in Bavaria, Germany,
police have solved the mystery of who's been ringing and running.
(04:21):
Police in Germany were called to an apartment building. Somebody
was ringing doorbells late at night and then leaving and
was annoying. Well, you know who it was. It was
a slug. Dominic lives in the building and he told
the newspaper there was a slug sitting right on our nameplate.
You could even see its slime trails. It crawled across
the sensors. Police relocated the slug to a nearby grassy
(04:42):
area and released it with a warning silly stories today.
Those are your five good news stories for today. You
have an awesome day.
