Don’t Drive Over Spilt Milk

Show Notes
Transcript

A toad survives a supermarket ordeal and is taken to a wildlife care center after a mom finds it in her vegetables. A $50 garage sale painting is verified as a Van Gogh, potentially worth $15 million. Firefighters save a house from a devastating fire and leave a touching letter for the homeowner. A lost GoPro is found underwater after eight months and returned to its owner with intact videos. Finally, a truck spills 4,000 gallons of milk on an interstate, causing a humorous cleanup effort.

00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.320
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Shonny Mack with five

2
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:13.119
good news stories. I'll tell you what the good news

3
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:15.279
is for, but I would spoil the story, so let

4
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:18.000
me just tell you. A mom went to the supermarket,

5
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:21.000
bought some vegetables, brought them home, put them in the fridge.

6
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:23.280
A couple days later, went to cook them. She cut

7
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.800
open the bag and good news for a toad. The

8
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:28.679
toad was in the bag of vegetables. And the good

9
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:32.079
news is the toad was still alive. Mom posted a TikTok.

10
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:34.240
I went to cut the bag with something moved and

11
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:36.439
I said, oh my god, it's moving a toad. It's

12
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.079
very much alive. There's an air hole in the bag,

13
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:41.159
so it manchester to stay alive. Must have been very

14
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:43.759
cold in the fridge. What do we do next? One

15
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:46.439
comment said, just let it out in the garden, get

16
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:48.399
rid of the vegetables, and get on with your evening.

17
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:51.679
Another user suggested taste the difference to get what you

18
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:55.079
paid for. A supermarket spokesperson said we've reached out to

19
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:57.280
the customer to say how sorry we are for her

20
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.719
experience and arrange for a refund. There was an update

21
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.319
video the mom was shown giving the toad to the

22
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:08.280
local wildlife care center. The toad is named Nippy and

23
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.239
is getting proper care. The plan was to release it

24
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.599
back into the wild. Hey, you never know what you

25
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.239
find in a garage sale. A New York based art

26
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.879
firm announced that its experts have verified that a painting

27
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.359
bought for fifty dollars at a garage sale in Minnesota

28
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.400
is indeed a van Go. The painting is titled Elamar.

29
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.239
It was purchased for fifty dollars. It was sold to

30
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:34.840
LMI Group International. If authenticated, the painting would be worth

31
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:40.480
fifteen million dollars. Wow. After the Pacific Palisades fires, Tony

32
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:42.640
went back to his house to see what was still there.

33
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.959
He found a letter in the mailbox from four firefighters.

34
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.239
They wrote, We're so sorry for the devas station your

35
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.359
neighborhood has endured. Truly heartbreaking. We can only imagine the

36
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:54.079
toads taken on everyone affected. When we returned a few

37
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:55.920
days later, it brought us great relief to see that

38
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:57.640
we were able to save your house. The house to

39
00:01:57.640 --> 00:01:59.359
the right of you was completely on fire and burning

40
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.040
the fence about catch your house on fire. We stopped

41
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:03.879
the fire from burning through your side door and kept

42
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:06.159
the fire from your deck and roof. Since then, our

43
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.759
amazing team has found solace on your deck gazing out

44
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:10.719
of the Pacific Ocean. It has offered a moment of

45
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.439
calm and missed the chaos the pink rib and if

46
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:15.080
it's still there, it means the house was a save

47
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.319
and it gave us great pride to hang it. We

48
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:18.960
want you to know that you and your neighbors are

49
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.919
in our thoughts as you rebuild and recover. A camera

50
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.680
was lost in the ocean off the coast of Victoria, Canada.

51
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.159
It was found by a diver eight months later and

52
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.479
returned to its owner, and the videos are still good.

53
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.960
Ken said he and his wife were diving and he

54
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.560
found a GoPro thirty feet below the surface of the water.

55
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:37.680
The camera had taken on some water well I would

56
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.800
imagine so, but the SD card was intact. It even

57
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.520
had a video of the camera falling off the owner's

58
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.639
head and into the water. On the video, it landed

59
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:48.639
face up a little while later, you could see a

60
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:52.520
crab approach the camera. That's amazing. Ken posted some video

61
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.879
clips and screenshots from the camera to social media to

62
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.520
hope to find the owner. The post went viral. It

63
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.919
eventually reached the camera owner's mother. Mom recognized the voice

64
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.319
in one of the video clips. The owner got the

65
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:08.240
camera and the SD card back and why reolate for

66
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:10.879
work this time? Look, man, I was on the interstate

67
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:14.199
and they had a close down. A truck spilled approximately

68
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:18.560
four thousand gallons of milk. Palm Beach County Fire Rescue

69
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.080
said the crash a courage to staff for midnight northbound

70
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.319
Ie ninety five. A truck lost hundreds of crates of milk.

71
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.199
Nobody was injured, and a social media post said none

72
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:33.439
of them needed to be moved to the hospital. Firefighters

73
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.080
estimated about four thousand gallons of milk were spilled across

74
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:38.840
the roadway. Took them almost three hours to clean up

75
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.159

76
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.280
