Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Calaroga Shock Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five
good news stories. Hey, good news, We found your wallet.
A mechanic was working on a twenty fifteen Ford Edge.
He was working under the hood and he found a
wallet that had been lost by a guy eleven years earlier.

(00:23):
Robert says he remembers the day he lost his wallet.
He was working on vehicles that had been shipped to
the Michigan assembly plant. He told the local TV I
never wore sweatpants to work, but I did that day,
and I had my wallet in my shirt pocket. Robert
and the team looked for the wallet, but there were
two thousand cars they'd worked on that day. He had
to give up. He said. The wallet contained his driver's license,

(00:44):
his Ford Motor Company ID, fifteen dollars, and two hundred
and fifty dollars worth of Cabella's Sporting Goods gift cards.
The Devil's always the details in these stories. Well, eleven
years later, Chad is working on a twenty fifteen Ford
edg Edge. It needed its cooling fans replaced. Chad was
trying to put the box back in place and it

(01:05):
wouldn't fit right, and he found the leather wallet sitting
on top of the transmission. Chad said, I'm surprised to
find stuff all the time, usually tools. I looked through
it and I see a Ford Motor Company badge. I thought,
I'm going to try fighting this guy. They connected over Facebook.
The wallet was in the mail the next day. The
wallet and the edge had traveled about one hundred and
fifty thousand miles together. That's amazing. Oh yeah, and the

(01:27):
fifteen dollars and the gift cards still there. Well, if
you've been waiting to take out the local library copy
of Your Child, His Family and Friends by Francis Bruce Strein,
it's back. It has been returned to the San Antonio
Public Library after eighty two years. It came with a note.
The note explained the book had been found among the

(01:48):
note writer's father's possessions. Apparently grandma had checked the book
out when dad was eleven years old. Fortunately, the library
eliminated fees in twenty twenty one. You're not gonna be
able to take the book out. It's on dis in
the lobby of San Antonio's Central Library. It will be
donated to the Friends of San Antonio Public Library for
sale in the bookseller. Use bookstore at the end of August. Really,

(02:10):
that's what you're doing with it. If you were driving
around in Chicago and you thought you saw a sheep,
you saw a sheep. The sheep was running through traffic
near the Fulton Market district. Several witnesses captured video of
the sheep. The sheep had escaped a slaughterhouse. Chicago Animal
Care and Control were able to corral the sheep and
load it into the van. They didn't know what to
do with the sheep, so they brought it to Chicago

(02:33):
Chicken Rescue. Christian found a Chicago Chicken Rescue and said
the sheep is the first sheep to come to the
chicken rescue in its fifteen years of operations. He told
local news the sheep was at a slaughterhouse and managed
to escape and find his way to the main administrative
office and then smashed through a glass window and ended
up roaming the streets of Chicago. They're trying to find

(02:53):
a new home for the sheep who has escaped the slaughterhouse.
They want to find the sheep a permanent home ontom
that has other sheep. Congratulations to a Soft Drink super
fan Debbie has recaptured the Guinness Record for her collection
of Coca Cola memorabilia five thousand, six hundred and twenty
three unique items. She first head the award in twenty

(03:17):
twenty when she had just twenty twenty eight items, but
then she lost the title in twenty twenty three to
this guy, Jeff, who had fifty two to thirty seven items. Again,
Debbie now has fifty six to twenty three and the
devil's in the details. Debbie said, my husband's father worked
for Pepsi, so from the beginning it was a no
note of coke and definitely not having the household. But

(03:37):
as my collection grew and grew, he finally came to
accept and appreciate it, and he enjoys looking at everything too.
She says. The red, I think is what pulls me in.
While down in Australia, they had a call in the
snake guy again. Stuart Mackenzie from Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers
was called out to a house a resident saw a
snake in his model train set. The Snake Coast Snake

(04:00):
Catchers say the repsile is a healthy and rather large
brown tree snake that decided to have a sleep in
the train set. The snake hunter said in a video
that the snake was preparing to shed its skin. The
video of the snake ends with the snake being released
into a tree. The snake hunter says, back in a
tree where you belong, away from the model train set.
In case you're curious, brown tree snakes are venomous, but

(04:22):
are generally not considered dangerous to adult humans. That said,
you probably don't want one in your train set. And
those are your five good news stories for today. If
you enjoy the program, please tell a friend about it.
