At her aunt and uncle's wedding, a four-year-old flower girl stole the show with her playful commentary. When the priest announced, "It's time, you may kiss your bride," the groom leaned in for a kiss, only to receive an unexpected critique from the little girl - "Bad kiss!" Her unexpected comment caught everyone off guard, including the priest. The joyous moment created a memorable and light-hearted atmosphere, bringing smiles to the faces of all who witnessed it.
Country singer Luke Combs found himself in the middle of a heartwarming story of empathy and compassion. Luke learned that a fan had been sued for selling homemade merchandise featuring his face. Shocked and saddened by this turn of events, Luke reached out to the fan personally to apologize and offer his support. He even promised to cover her legal expenses and started selling his own tumblers with all proceeds going to her. This act of kindness showcases Luke Combs' genuine care for his fans and his commitment to making things right.
For the first time in history, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature has successfully moved a species from "extinct in the wild" to "endangered" on its red list. Thanks to the efforts of zoos worldwide and game breeders in the Texas Hill Country, the scimitar horned oryx now has a population of 140 to 160 individuals and is steadily increasing. This incredible conservation success story serves as a beacon of hope for endangered species worldwide.
In a true display of heroism, a group of high school students in Utah came together to rescue a mother and her two-year-old son who were trapped underneath a vehicle. When the accident occurred, the students promptly rushed to the scene and managed to lift the car, allowing the trapped individuals to escape to safety. This inspiring act of bravery demonstrates the power of community and the incredible strength that can be found in the hearts of young individuals.
Meet Lou, a 92-year-old who defies age and continues to practice Kung Fu and Tai Chi. Despite the challenges that come with aging, Lou credits Tai Chi with keeping him fit, healthy, and mentally sharp. After battling repeat chest infections and a bad back, Lou discovered Tai Chi in his fifties and hasn't looked back since. His unwavering dedication to exercise and positive outlook on life serve as a testament to the importance of staying active and embracing new passions at any age.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.560
Calaroga Shark Media. Happy New Year. I'm Johnny Mack with five good news
2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.320
stories. I'm going to try and
settle into a Monday, Wednesday Friday routine
3
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:17.920
here in the new year. So
last year you got two episodes a week,
4
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:22.039
I'll trying to three this year.
A four year old flower girl had
5
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.879
everyone laughing at her aunt uncle's wedding. The priest announced its time, you
6
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:29.320
may kiss your bride. The groom
did just that, and the little girl
7
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:35.039
turned to the priest and said,
bad kiss. I caught everyone off guard,
8
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:39.000
including the priest. He then announced
bad kiss. Wow. Everyone enjoyed
9
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:43.159
the moment. Congratulations to the bride
and groom. Country singer Luke Combs has
10
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.000
said he's sick to his stomach after
learning he had been awarded two hundred and
11
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.759
fifty thousand dollars. Well, that
sounds like a good thing, Luke.
12
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:54.280
What happened? Luke won a lawsuit
against a fan who sold homemade merchandise.
13
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:59.079
Luke Combs said he'd been unaware that
the fan had been sued for selling eighteen
14
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:02.679
drink tumblers with a face on them. The fans said she only learned of
15
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.319
the legal action after the ruling which
came days after she was on the hospital.
16
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.359
Luke comb said he called to apologize
and promised to send her eleven thousand
17
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:14.319
dollars. That's double the fifty five
hundred dollars bill that was initially frozen in
18
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:18.000
her account following the judge's order,
meaning she couldn't pay her bills. Luke
19
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.840
Combs has now started selling his own
tumblers on his official site, with all
20
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.200
proceeds going to the fan. He
said he first learned of the legal action
21
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:29.159
he was watching TV and saw the
fan crying on a TV news interview.
22
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.040
In the report, she said she
didn't know she was being sued and found
23
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.040
the notice in the spam folder of
her email account. At that time,
24
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.159
she said, I just want this
resolved. I didn't mean any horne to
25
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:38.159
Luke Combs. I quit selling the
tumbler. I pulled it down. I
26
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.439
just don't understand. After seeing the
clip, Luke Combs posted a video on
27
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.280
social media and explained, we have
a company that goes after folks. Only
28
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:49.319
supposedly large corporations operating internationally that make
millions and millions of dollars making counterfeit t
29
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.159
shirts, things of that nature,
running legal businesses and apparently this woman has
30
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.159
somehow gotten wrapped in that, and
that makes me absolutely sick to my stomach.
31
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.920
Combs said, it makes me sick
that this would happen, especially during
32
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.200
the holidays. No fan should ever
have to be involved in anything like this.
33
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.239
Money's the last thing on my mind. I invited the fan and her
34
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:08.520
family out to a show this year
so I could give her a hug and
35
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:13.479
say sorry in person. Good news. If you're a scimitar horned oryx,
36
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.240
you were once declared extinct in the
wild, but now you're back baby,
37
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:22.039
although you're still classified as endangered.
It's the first time that the International Union
38
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:25.599
for the Conservation of Nature, the
world's largest conservation organization, has ever moved
39
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.520
a species on its Red list from
extinct in the wild back up to endangered.
40
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:32.840
This thanks to the conservation work of
zoos around the world, but also
41
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:37.840
from game breeders in the Texas Hill
Country who kept the orx alive. While
42
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:42.319
the governments of Abu Dhabi and Chad
work together on a reintroduction program, the
43
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.719
orx have a population of This isn't
a lot. Between one hundred and forty
44
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:50.039
and one hundred and sixty individuals and
it's increasing, not decreasing. Good luck
45
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.960
to the ORYX. A mother and
her son, a two year old,
46
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.439
were trapped underneath a vehicle. They
were rescued by a group of high school
47
00:02:55.479 --> 00:03:00.560
students in Utah. The students lifted
up the car. Video footage shows the
48
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:02.879
students rushing to the school's parking a
lot after mother and her two children were
49
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:06.800
struck and pinned underneath the vehicle.
One of the kids, a three year
50
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.919
old, was able to free herself. About twenty students surrounded the vehicle and
51
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:14.120
lifted it an inch or two above
the ground and allowed the trapped individuals to
52
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:20.360
return to safety. Wow. Lou
is ninety two and still practices kung fu
53
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.639
and tai chi. He says,
at my age, I have friends dying
54
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:25.240
all around me, and tai cheese
kept me going. It's really important to
55
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.599
keep moving, which is lucky because
I can't stand still. He found tai
56
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.520
chi in his fifties after suffering from
repeat chest infections and a bad back.
57
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:36.919
He had been a sportsman most of
his life, playing rugby, weightlifting,
58
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.400
track, judo, soccer, but
he had never done sai chi before.
59
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:44.560
He had watched a tai chi demo
at a fair he had attended, decided
60
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.840
to give it a go and started
weekly two hour sessions, including a half
61
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.520
hour of kung fu. He says, I was fit and healthy, but
62
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.800
these chest infections just kept coming back
just a few months after I stopped antibiotics.
63
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.960
For some reason, I was really
attracted to the slow movement and deep
64
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.000
breathing of the tai Chi has plenty
of exercise is what keeps you going,
65
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.680
and it also gives you a really
positive outlook on life, and it's kept
66
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:09.240
me fully compassmentis I'm training to be
a thriller writer. I don't fight in
67
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.599
kung fu anymore, but I can
still do the hits and kicks. That's
68
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.599
your five good news stories for today. If you enjoy the program, tell
69
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:16.959
a friend about it. They might
like it too, and they can follow
70
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.920
it on Apple or Spotify or wherever
you found it today. All right,
71
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:20.800
I'll see on Wednesday.

00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.599
your five good news stories for today. If you enjoy the program, tell
69
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:16.959
a friend about it. They might
like it too, and they can follow
70
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.920
it on Apple or Spotify or wherever
you found it today. All right,
71
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:20.800
I'll see on Wednesday.
