00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:14.160
Calaruga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Johnny Mack with five good news stories between
2
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.760
now and Christmas. What we're going
to do is on Monday and Wednesday,
3
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:22.280
I will do the normal five good
news stories on Tuesday and Thursday. Ast
4
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:26.039
Ireland is going to help out.
She's going to do five good news Christmas
5
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:28.559
stories, so you'll still get me
twice a week, and then you get
6
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:32.320
Christmas stories twice a week that starts
tomorrow. How about this story. Some
7
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:37.079
tourists were stuck on a plane the
reason they didn't have enough pilots. Michael
8
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:40.479
was hoping to fly to Spain with
his wife and son and found out that
9
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.560
the grand delay was because they were
missing a pilot. Luckily, Michael is
10
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:48.200
a pilot. He called the bosses
at the plane company and volunteered to take
11
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:52.159
the plane the fifteen hundred miles or
so. The company agreed, and Michael
12
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:56.079
made an announcement. This is the
captain speaking my wife, who's on Roe
13
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.159
fifteen with my little boy. Hopefully
he's asleep by now. I should keep
14
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:02.240
it down or else I'll get told
off. She rolled over and punched me
15
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:03.239
in the back of the head and
said, our flight's delayed. By two
16
00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:07.400
hours because they are minus one captain
for the flight. So just before we
17
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:08.920
went through security, I thought,
I wonder if this is worth a phone
18
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:11.400
call. I think it is because
I'd like to go on holiday. I
19
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.519
phone the airline and said, Hey, I'm standing in the terminal doing nothing.
20
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:17.879
I have my license with me,
got my idea with me, and
21
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:19.359
I'd very much like to go on
holiday. If you need a favor,
22
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.400
I'm standing here ready to go.
They said, would phone you back.
23
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.879
Thirty eight seconds later they phoned back
and said, please, with a big
24
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.000
cherry on top, can you fly
the airplane. Please fasten your seat belts
25
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.760
and prepare for takeoff. Billy Joel
has adopted a dog, Bucky, the
26
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.159
French bulldog. Billy shared the news
on Instagram, writing, a year and
27
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.239
a half ago we lost Rosie.
We were waiting for the right rescue for
28
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.640
our family. Billy shared a de
gray puppy was at a shelter in San
29
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.959
Diego with a bad case of mange
when he was rescued by Road Dogs,
30
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:53.400
who were a California based rescue dedicated
to rehabbing and rescuing medical bulldogs and puppies
31
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.040
with birth defects. Road dogs rescued
the puppy and nursed him back to health.
32
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.959
Billy says, and now he's part
of our family. Good news.
33
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.560
Whose they caught the lion. A
lion was prowling the streets of an Italian
34
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.639
seaside town for several hours. Where'd
the lion come from? Johnny Mack?
35
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:13.080
He had escaped from a local circus. The Mayor's sold residents to stay home
36
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:19.039
good advice, while police and circus
staff combined to work together to try and
37
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:23.759
catch the lion. The lion was
eventually sedated and captured. Ronnie is responsible
38
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.439
for the animals at ronnie Rollers circus, He said, Kimba, the lion
39
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.360
pose little danger. He met with
people in an environment he wasn't used to,
40
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:31.840
and nothing happened. He didn't even
for a second have the instinct to
41
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:37.080
attack a person. Ronnie's fear was
that someone could have hurt the lion out
42
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.840
of fear or excess enthusiasm. The
mayor commet did and said, I hope
43
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:44.159
this episode can stir some consciences and
that we can finally put an end to
44
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.479
the exploitation of animals and circuses.
Meanwhile, if you're walking around at cobble
45
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.120
street in Paris, you'll find a
tribute to one of Melbourne, Australia's most
46
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.639
beloved identities. A tiny stencil artwork
on a building depicts the back of a
47
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.159
man in a check shirt holding a
giant carrot from Melbourne. You know what
48
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.919
this is? Carrot Man calls inner
city Melbourne home. Carrot Man's real identity
49
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.400
is Nathan. Nathan and his carrot
have become a beloved fixture on the inner
50
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:13.000
streets of Melbourne for more than a
decade. He's also popular on the internet.
51
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.400
On Reddit, sub forms feature photos
of Nathan alongside the carrot with revelers
52
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:20.319
in a local nightclub or reading a
book on the train, and there's an
53
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.719
Instagram page titled where is carrot Man? How did this start? Well?
54
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.400
Nathan decided to carry around a big
object around town and make it easier to
55
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.840
socialize after he moved from Brisbane to
Melbourne in twenty nineteen. He shared that
56
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:36.800
hed initially tried a giant turnip,
and carrying it home, he noticed the
57
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.840
joint brought to passers by. He
also tried a giant octopus and his favorite,
58
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:44.400
a squid, but neither got as
good reaction as the carrot. So
59
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.159
I just kept carrying the carrot around
because it was the most successful thing at
60
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:51.680
making people smile. Recently, two
women visiting from Japan were in a drugstore.
61
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:53.599
One burst out of the chain room
excitedly calling a friend over. Pulling
62
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:58.039
out her phone, she shared a
photo of carrot Man she had taken earlier
63
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:01.280
in the day. Carrot Man,
says, shows it's across cultural all right.
64
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.759
Good news. If you want to
live a long time, you should
65
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:09.840
try this remote Greek island. The
ninety nine square mile island of Acaria claims
66
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.599
to have more nonagenarians than any other
place on the planet. As you know,
67
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.240
anthropologists have long pointed to fresh,
healthy Mediterranean diets rich in fish and
68
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:21.319
olive oil as a way to live
long. The so called Blue Zone Somebody's
69
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:26.160
been watching Netflix describes the regions dotted
around the world where populations are thought to
70
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:30.600
live the longest. The researchers found
that most of the oldest islanders reported daily
71
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.959
physical activity, healthy eating habits,
no smoking, rich social lives, midday
72
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:38.360
naps, and what was the good
news, Johnny Mack, Most of them
73
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.800
claim to still be sexually active.
That's your five good news stories for today
74
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.000
Tomorrow Astor. We'll have five good
news Christmas stories and I'll be back on

00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.199
Wednesday with more of this style.
