A nineteen eighty one DeLorean DMC twelve was found in a barn and southern Wisconsinate had been there for years, if not decades. There were only nine thousand and eighty such cars built in the eighties. This was a car number five hundred and seventy one. Guess how many miles it had on it? Nine hundred and seventy seven. You're gonna have to do some work on it. The tires had long since deflated, some mice had nested inside of it. Mikeel Ows, DeLorean Midwest An Auto shop had said it was literally sinking into the earthy of this gravel floor barn untouched for years. A guy named Mark had called the shop saying he had a DeLorean to sell. Michael wasn't too interested because it would have had a travel seventeen hours to check it out. Figured it could be a bust, but then he heard about the nine hundred and seventy seven mile O dometer. He traveled there and met the owner in the barn.

1:02 The exterior was covered in dust, the interior in mouse poop. Other than that, the car is in pretty good shape for being more than forty two years old, but it hadn't been driven much and never had parts of placed. It was left in a barn. Mark points out sunfade is a huge killer for cosmetics. Michael was going to refurbish the car and try and sell it for more than one hundred grand, but said, I'm starting to develop a soft spot for it. Good job by Andrea, who's forty two. Andreya had competed in triathlons and even a half iron man, but in twenty fourteen she noticed her times were slowing and her muscles weren't as strong as they used to be. She discovered she had als commonly known as Luke Gerrig's disease. Andrea said, in six months, I went from the strongest I've ever been to walking with a cane. I was shocked and sad in the moment, but I also realized I had no more time to waste in this life.

1:42 Doctors told her her life expectancy was like two to five years. She decided she wanted to use her time and body in a way she loves. She bought a recumbent strike, sometimes used in races as an accessibility alternative, and competed in what she thought would be her last triathlon. She said, I came in last by almost an hour, but people stayed to watch and encouraged her to keep going. Before she knew it, she had completed marathons in every state, the first person with ALS to do so. Her fiftieth one was in Alaska. She wrote a memoir, and her husband says, I hope it can be used to show people how to take on whatever marathon is in their lives, whether it's als or whether it's anything. Amazon driver Elijah delivered more than a package at a Chicago house recently. He also dropped some fashion pointers. You see. Elijah shut up at the house and noticed teenager Luke was struggling to put on a tie, so Elijah stepped in to help. Family member stood around, smiling and laughing. He told the young man, you're killing the game. He was clean. He reminded me of myself when I was coming up. That's how I used to dress. Elijah learned how to tie its sigh when he was ten. He said, all the brothers around me showed me how to do it. Elijah said, it made the news. I didn't believe it at first, but then I had other people calling me. Made me feel good. Good news for a rescue dog named Brett Michaels. Brett Michaels, the dog has been adopted by human rock star Brett Michaels. That's right, you know Brett Michaels from poison.

2:57 He heard about Brett Michael's the dog when the Nebraska Humane Society shared a Facebook post about the dog whose blood was used to save a month old kitten. The Humane Society wrote, it's not very often that our own dogs had get a chance to be a hero. When a kitten's life was hanging in the balance, six year old husky Brett Michaels stepped up to save the day. The kitten was later named Thorn, after poisonous nineteen eighty hit. Every rose has its Thorn. The kitten was suffering from major blood loss, which caused him to develop a nemia. To survive, he needed a blood transfusion. Alec Rose no not axel Rose. Alec Rose, who works at the shelter, said feline blood is very particular as far as typing goes. We didn't have time to figure out what type the little guy was and had to find a suitable donor. That process would have taken a lot longer than he actually had. The shelter's vet came up with a plan called Zeno transfusion, which involves transfusing blood from one species into another. Brett Michaels the Dog had recently undergone a full vet exam, including blood work, and was deemed a viable donor candidate. So that alone made the news. Then they got a message, Hey, Team Brett, reaching out to you. What an absolutely amazing story we wrote to you in a private message, Brett Michael's The Human would like to explore opting Bret Michael's the Dog. Brett Michael's The Rocker said, the story of Brett Michael's the Husky saving Thorn the kitten's life with the blood transfusion was beyond incredible. I was immediately moved and personally contacted the Nebraska Humane Society to say, go no further, I will adopt Brett Michael's the Husky.

4:15 Well, I don't know how you're gonna feel about this next one. Do you want to save some money? Sure you do, right, You're in what could Johnny Mack possibly say to you that would make you go no, I don't want to save any money. Well, a ticktocker explained how you can save money. You're gonna make the switch to family cloth. Get ready for this. She said, we had a toilet roll subscription for the last three years, and I can easily see how much less we're using and how much we're saving. All you need is a set of wipes and a zip wet bag in the last four years. What's this about, Johnny Mack? Well, you see, family cloths are reusable cloths that could be washed after you've been to the bathroom. You get the idea you're gonna do your stuff, use the thing, then you're gonna wash it, and then it goes back. If we're gonna do this, I at least want one with my name on it. You can use your own, I'll use mine, all right. That's five good news stories for today. If you enjoy the podcast, tell a friend about it.
