00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.560
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hi there,
Johnny Mack with Five Good News Stories.

2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:17.320
Two Canadians are delighting animal lovers on
Instagram. They're sharing videos of their pet

3
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.239
rats. Yes, pet rats.
What about the pet rats. Well,

4
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:26.359
they're driving around in little cars,
as pet rats do. Kendall and Sean

5
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.480
ended up adopting two rats from the
local animal shelter. Now I know last

6
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:33.719
episode I told you you know,
it's always great to get a shelter animal.

7
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.719
I was thinking dog, maybe cat, rabbit. I wasn't thinking rats,

8
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:40.039
But okay, I mean the rats
need a home too. Thank you,

9
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:45.280
Kendall and Sean. They recalled being
impressed by the ragged rescued rats curiosity

10
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.960
even from within their cage at a
shelter. They adopted Kronk and Cusco,

11
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:54.479
and after their bass that night,
the rats seem to snuggle right up to

12
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:58.600
the humans in bed. What five
Good News Stories has learned, Like all

13
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.880
social animals adopted to live in human
society, domesticated rats are very smart,

14
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.799
but they need stimulation to thrive.
Meanwhile, at the University of Richmond,

15
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.280
scientists, rather than spend time on
the climate emergency, taught rats to drive

16
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.599
tiny cars. They've found the experience
of learning and acquiring mastery of a new

17
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:21.599
skill decreased the rats stress hormones.
Kusku and Kronk were given two little electric

18
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.040
cars. This separate from the study. The scientists aren't that deep into this.

19
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:30.000
Each electric car has three levers which
allow the rats to control their direction.

20
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:32.920
It took one day for the two
rats to learn they could use the

21
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.120
middle lever to go forward, and
after a week they master turning a little

22
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.640
car with the levers on the side. Soon they'll be your uber driver,

23
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:44.719
Sean told the BCTV News. Their
ability to conceptualize where they are, just

24
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.280
as humans do when they're driving,
is pretty incredible. You know, given

25
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.599
the average driver in the Gordon State
Parkway, I think I'd rather follow their

26
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:55.560
rats. Noah Khan do you know
who that is? He's like this super

27
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.879
popular musician. He's got that song
stick season us oldies Noah him. All

28
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.920
the twenty somethings love him. Yeah. Noah launched the Busy Head Project,

29
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.039
a fundraising initiative housed under the Vermont
Community Foundation that provides grant money to community

30
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:14.319
organizations across the country, helping to
provide access to mental health support The goal

31
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.240
was to raise a million dollars in
one year, but within the first twelve

32
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:21.120
months it hit two million dollars.
The funds coming from a portion of ticket

33
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:25.000
sales, direct donations from fans,
and offerings like livestream tickets to sold out

34
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.439
concerts. A nice job, Noah. If you're not familiar with them,

35
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.759
check out the song styxies and you
will like it now. Poor Xavier,

36
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.879
he was scheduled to graduate from kindergarten. The problem was he was scheduled to

37
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.800
take a flight that day. He's
up there. He's thirty five thousand feet

38
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:43.759
above sea level. But luckily the
attendants at Frontier Airlines stepped in to give

39
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.000
him a special ceremony. They called
his name on the intercom. They invited

40
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:50.879
all the passengers to offer congratulations.
As Xavier walked down the aisle on a

41
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.080
red cap and gown. One of
the attendants said, he's missing his kindergarten

42
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:58.879
graduation today because he chose to fly
Frontier. We're giving him his graduation ceremony

43
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.240
on this flight. Mom said he
was just beyond excited. His face lit

44
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:05.560
up. He was super super excited, getting high fives from people and getting

45
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:07.759
cheered on. Hey could I have
another diet coke? When you get a

46
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:12.919
second, Here's another Guinness record for
you. I know there's been so many

47
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:17.199
of these this summer. This one
for the world's largest collection of soccer shirts.

48
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:23.280
Cassio has collected six one hundred and
one shirts since two thousand. His

49
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:29.360
collection includes rare pale jerseys and a
nineteen ninety eight World Cup shirt signed by

50
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.240
Ronaldo. Does he have a big
closet. No, He keeps the shirts

51
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:37.360
at the Alambrado Soccer and Culture,
which is a collector's club he founded in

52
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.479
sal Pallo. The club brings together
sixty people who trade stories in jerseys.

53
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:46.400
The collection includes the shirt worn by
Pele when he met Queen Elizabeth in nineteen

54
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.479
sixty eight. He tells us some
shirts can go up to forty thousand local

55
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:54.919
currencies, but a Pele shirt is
priceless for local currencies are approximately seventy two

56
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.680
hundred dollars. Each shirt contains a
story, stories of wins, losses,

57
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.080
and over coming stories. The document
a bit of the world's greatest sport,

58
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.680
and there's a mystery going on or
in Wichita. Posters resembling roarsatch ink block

59
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:12.599
tests have appeared in various locations around
Wichita. City officials say they are stumped

60
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.839
what's going on. This is like
the the chrome monoliths that I've been showing

61
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.920
up. So far, no one
has come forward to claim responsibility for the

62
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:25.240
ink block tests. The local officials
say they don't consider the artworks to be

63
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.680
vandalism. No laws have been violated. The Wichita Art Museum says they have

64
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.279
no idea who might be putting up
the posters, but point out the prospect

65
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.959
of a new street artist in town
is exciting. And those are your five

66
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:40.399
Kidney stories for today. If you
enjoy the program, tell a friend about

67
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:42.639
it. They Malika too. And
if you're like man John, I love

68
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.519

73
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.000
never know when Queen li It is
going to meet Pele. They both have

74
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.920
to come back for the dead.
But you get the idea maybe King Charles
