00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:10.039
The Shark Deck and Jenny Meck with
five good news stories. I wanted to

2
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.960
get this one in and I'm not
being a jerk, and you'll understand why

3
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:19.239
in a while. Good News.
Bobby the Dog bo b I. Bobby

4
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:23.320
the Dog has been named the oldest
dog on record by the Guinness Book of

5
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:26.960
World Records. Are you a dog
owner, you kind of know how long

6
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:32.640
dogs usually live? Right? Bobby
the Dog is thirty years I didn't speak

7
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:36.799
thirty years and two hundred and seventy
two days old as of February seventh.

8
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:42.240
Lanel Costa was an eight year old
boy in Portugal and he got Bobby the

9
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:46.439
Dog. Now. At the time
Bobby was born, mister Costa's family had

10
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:51.640
many animals and little money. His
father generally couldn't keep the new puppies.

11
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:56.640
Bobby the Dog hid in a pile
of firewood. Costa and his siblings found

12
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.079
the puppy a few days later and
kept it a secret until the puppy he

13
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.200
opened its eyes. Costa said,
we knew when he opened his eyes my

14
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.560
parents wouldn't be able to get rid
of him. Bobby the Dog's breed usually

15
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.799
has a life expectancy of twelve to
fourteen years. The previous record was an

16
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.480
Australian cattle dog that died at twenty
nine years and five months in nineteen thirty

17
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:21.480
nine. Costa attributes Bobby's longevity to
living in calm countryside, never having been

18
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:23.439
chained or kept on a leash,
and always eating human food. Of course,

19
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.640
our love and affection throughout his life
has also helped. They had.

20
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.439
Bobby still loves walks, but age
is taking its toll. The dog is

21
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.400
almost thirty one. Man, he's
less adventurous his first thinning, his eyesight

22
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.879
is worsened, and he needs more
rest than he used to get. His

23
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:42.799
Book of World Records describe Bobby's story
as miraculous. God love you, Bobby.

24
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.439
Good news. If you lost your
wallet, hopefully it was found by

25
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.040
Delavante Johnson, a nineteen year old
who returned it to a complete stranger.

26
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.760
He found de Heartwrider's wallet in a
Walmart shopping cart. She's a grandmother of

27
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:59.079
seven, he's nineteen. People ask
Johnson, why did you bother tracking Heartwriter

28
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.519
down? He said he was simply
brought up to do the right thing the

29
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.200
way I was raised. You don't
take something that's not yours. You just

30
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.439
gotta be honest. There's no telling
what the outcome might be. If you

31
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.120
do good things, good things will
follow. Heartwriter didn't even know she had

32
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.680
lost her wallet. She had gone
into Walmart's so by three gallons of washer

33
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.400
fluid. She loaded the backseat of
her car and drove away. A couple

34
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:22.000
of minutes later, Johnson pulled up, spotted the wallet he pocketed, entered

35
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:23.960
the store to withdraw money for a
tire repair. He didn't know what to

36
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:25.479
do, he said, I don't
know if she was going to come back

37
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.520
to Walmart looking for a wallet that
wasn't there. If they would have watched

38
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:30.560
the cameras and seeing him picked up
a wallet, the police would have been

39
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.719
in my house. So they worked
it out. They met up at a

40
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:36.479
restaurant. Heartwriter said, when he
got there, I jumped out of my

41
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.319
car and I said, I'm gonna
take a picture so I could put it

42
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.960
on Facebook. I gave him a
big old hug. Parkwriter also gave Johnson

43
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.919
twenty dollars. Hey, good news. If you're a fish and you're looking

44
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.199
at a picture, going is that
me? Good news? It is you

45
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:53.599
fish. A research team by specially
appointed Professor Massonori Coda from the Graduate School

46
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:59.000
of Science at the Osaka Metropolitan University. That's an impressive title. Has demonstrated

47
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.120
that fish think, hey, that's
me when they see themselves in a picture.

48
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:05.000
They use a type of fish called
a cleaner fish, which are known

49
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.560
to be able to recognize themselves in
mirrors and regularly attack unfamiliar cleaner fish who

50
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:13.639
intrude on their territory. Each cleanerfish
was presented with four photographs, a photo

51
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.680
of themselves, photo of an unfamiliar
cleaner, a photo of their own face

52
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:21.520
on an unfamiliar cleaner's body. Wow, that must like fry their brains,

53
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.840
and a photo of an unfamiliar cleaner's
face on their own body. Interestingly,

54
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.199
the cleanerfish did not attack photos with
their own faces, but did attack those

55
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.560
with faces of unfamiliar cleanerfish. These
results indicated the cleanerfish to chairman who was

56
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.680
in the photo based on the face
and the photo, but not the body,

57
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:42.000
in a similar way that humans do. Hey, good news after the

58
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.759
Super Bowl. They didn't waste all
that food. The Food Recovery Network is

59
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:50.879
a nonprofit organization committed to reducing food
waste by sourcing and receiving donations of excess

60
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:58.759
food from sources like college campuses and
the Super Bowl. Regina Anderson told Today

61
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.960
dot Com last year recovered about two
thousand pounds of food they had cleaned up

62
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:06.599
the Players tailgate hosted by Guy Fiery
and collected cheeseburgers, chicken wings, and

63
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:16.079
plenty of fresh seafood. I am

You can listen to friends and fiction on

76
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:26.040
any major streaming platform. I have
been mentioning that as I put this show

77
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:30.199
together, there's a lot of McDonald's
stories for some reason, and here's one.

78
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.560
McDonald's has pledged to remove an advertisement
for its new mccrispy chicken sandwich.

79
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:39.439
Why Johnny Mack, Why are they
taking down the ad for the mccrispy chicken

80
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:44.079
sandwich. It was placed next to
a crematorium. One woman whose mother in

81
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.800
law was cremated at the crematorium said, although I can see the funny side

82
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:51.480
of the ad, it's tasteless and
I'm sure some grieving family members won't like

83
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:55.480
to see it when visiting the area
for the funeral and creation of a loved

84
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:59.800
one. The ad agency says they
weren't aware that the bus stop ad was

85
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.680
next to her crematorium, and in
light of the concerns raised by the locals,

86
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:06.360
they've asked for their ad to be
removed. Some online users found the

87
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:10.399
ad to be darkly comical. One
road on Facebook, my parents are in

88
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:13.439
this crematorium. My old man had
a brilliant sense of humor. I'm sure

89
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:15.519
you would have chuckled this. Someone
else wrote, well, that'll get him

90
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.720
plenty of more notice. Another added, thank god it wasn't advertising, burger

91
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:25.759
king and being flame grilled. Ah. That's your five good news stories for
