0:03 Calaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Good news for Alisha and Lauren. They were at the beach. This story takes place in Australia. In case you're wondering why they were at the beach this time of year. Anyway, along comes a big wave and the meaty wave stole their phones and their car keys. Alisha got up and ran, what do you grabbed first? Yeah, she got the phones, but they gave up on ever seeing the car keys again. Then ten minutes later, Alicia was making a video describing what had just happened, and Lauren suddenly spotted the keys floating on another wave. Alsha said, we are so lucky and grateful. We had the keys sitting up on the beach on a rock and a ran.
0:45 A monster wave came and swept them away. About ten minutes later we were laughing that they were gone stuck without our car keys, and a wave brought them back up to the beach about five meters away in another spot. What was even more amazing is they work perfectly despite the swim. We genuinely were so lucky. Switching gears. A dad has donated his kidney to save an eleven year old girl who reminded him of his own daughter who has passed away, and he said he did it without hesitation when he discovered young Amber was in desperate need of a kidney to save her life. Andy's daughter Sarah died from kidney disease at eight years old. The family had been through a widespread campaign, supported by soccer team Leeds United and English national football player Calvin Phillips. Sarah, the eight year old, did secure a kidney transplant. However, she passed away three hundred and sixty four days after receiving the kidney. Andy said, I donated a kidney because a kind stranger donated one of my daughter. I saw the appeal for Amber, and there were so many similarities between Amber and Sarah that I felt I had to push myself forward, and luckily I was a good match.
1:48 A truck driver has been recognized as a highway hero after using his truck to help Corala shooter who had injured a police officer. This happened on I eighty eight Timothy, he was driving along. He was about to pass a state tree trooper who was approaching a car. He just pulled over Tim. He told Fox News Digital, it happened so fast. I wasn't one hundred percent sure what I saw it first, but I saw the trooper kind of skip sideways a little bit. Then he saw the driver draw his gun and start shooting out the back window. This went on for twelve minutes. Tim then pulled his truck in front of the shooter's car, cornering him against the side of the road and ensuring that the shooter was stopped. Tim won the good Year Highway Hero Award. The purpose of the Highway Hero program is to bring more awareness and appreciation to the powerful impact that commercial drivers can have on the roads, individual lives, and communities.
2:33 Congratulations to Cape Town, named the world's best city where you can see penguins and a natural wonder of the world. Time Out Travel editor Grace said, every year we take the pulse of city living by quizzing thousands of locals across the planet about life in their hometowns. This year, more than eighteen thousand, five hundred city dwellers share their insights and everything from food, nightlife, and culture to affordability, happiness, and the overall city vibe. Andrew works for the Timeout website and said, where else in the world can you hang out with a colony of African penguins, Taste some of the world's finest wines, stroll along blue flag beaches, enjoy stunning views from the top one of the new seven Wonders of Nature, and sample some of the most eclectic nightlife vibes in the world, all in one day.
3:13 That's Cape Town. The second on the list was Bangkok. Third place New York. Now they has stationed my voice. I'm from New York, and New York sometimes is better than other times. Right now, in twenty twenty five, New York is nowhere near its peak. New York is not in good shape this these days. So now questioning the rest of the list. Melbourne and London make out the top five. I was in Melbourne ten full years ago and it was wonderful. But then again, New York was better ten years ago. So who knows? What's the point of the story, Johnny Mack, I don't know. Sorry, I try. Okay, here's a new world record for you. A Turkish woman has established the world record four watermelons crushed with thighs.
3:56 I have the same questions you do. A Turkish woman squashed five watermelons within sixty seconds using only her thighs. That is the world record. There's a video clip in which we see Gazdi dug In, the world record holder, sitting between two rows of watermelons, grabbing them one at a time, crushing them, and then cleaning the mess before continuing. I didn't realize you have to clean the mess. Maybe you don't, but she did. She was handed a plaque and was told she is officially amazing. And I think I'm just gonna wrap before I get myself into trouble. And those are your five good news stories for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. See you next time.
