00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:05.120
I'm Johnny Mack with five good news
stories. You know who's getting it done.
2
00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:11.279
Scruff, the border collie. Scruff
has become an unlikely recycling advocate after
3
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:15.560
picking up more than one thousand littered
plastic bottles. I got to talk to
4
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:18.600
my dogs and tell them to step
it up. Scruff likes to pick up
5
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.039
the bottles and play with them for
a little bit before delivering them to his
6
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:25.039
humans to be recycled. Scruff is
thirteen now and he used to enjoy stick
7
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:28.839
fetching and then the vent said he's
getting scratched on the inside of his mouth
8
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.640
wanting to try something plastic. His
humans said, this is a focus a
9
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.200
job for him. He's a border
collige, so he loves to retrieve and
10
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.479
collect different things and stuff like that. The human and Scruff go on two
11
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.520
walks a day, one long walk
in the morning, usually between three and
12
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:45.200
four miles wow, then a shorter
mile or so in the evening. Originally
13
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.520
they will let Scruff play with the
bottles and they left them there. Then
14
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.520
they felt bad thought people might think
we were leaving them there, so they
15
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.840
started picking them up and keeping track
and sharing their monthly report with the hashtag
16
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.960
Scruff's bottle patrol, and they have
a rule. They only pick up the
17
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.520
bottles that Scruff sees. So if
the human sees a bottle there and the
18
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.719
dog doesn't see it, that bottle's
not going anywhere. We were just curious
19
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.519
to see how many he could collect. In November alone, Scruff picked up
20
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.480
one hundred and four bottles. Even
though he's thirteen. He looks absolutely fantastic.
21
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.159
His human says, Hopefully it sends
a good message out to other people
22
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.239
around the world to pick up litter, don't leave animals to do it right.
23
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.719
Gratulations. Joyce to Fall She's a
ninety year old Greek grandmother. She
24
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.040
just graduated from Northern Illinois University.
Joyce says, we can never quit learning.
25
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:29.400
If we have the opportunity, and
we're given the opportunity, there's no
26
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.760
reason we shouldn't go for it.
She enrolled in college in nineteen fifty one,
27
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.640
but wound up leaving after three years
to get married and she got busy
28
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:38.920
as some kids some grandkids. But
in twenty nineteen, with the encouragement of
29
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.519
her family, she headed back to
NIU with her original black and white student
30
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.799
ID card. Awesome, it's probably
the same kind of junk drawer. I
31
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.799
have to pick up where she left
off sixty eight years ago. The university
32
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.239
staff dug through decades old records and
transcripts to find out what she needed to
33
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.400
complete her bachelor's degree. They let
her finish a degree in general studies through
34
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.640
online classes. She said, it's
nice to finish something he started. Don't
35
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.640
give up. I know it could
be difficult, but everything in life has
36
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:07.360
its ups and downs. Congratulation's choice. Max Cheveva Tanko had played hockey with
37
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.960
Tyler Hess in summer camps. Max
is part of a group from Ukraine.
38
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.360
It would come to the US and
when the wars started, Tyler Hess asked
39
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.879
if Max could come with his family. Max is supported by the Minutes Hanka
40
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.680
Hockey Association. They've been raising money
to help his hockey fees and beyond.
41
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.680
Tyler's dad, Chess says of Max, he's got a good sense of humor,
42
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:29.319
but it's really really serious, like
he's focused. Then after a game
43
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:30.840
he gets over it and he's like
a kid. For now. He stays
44
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.960
in touch with his Ukraine family through
the phone. Someday he plans on returning
45
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.360
to Ukraine. First responders have rescued
an eagle impaled by a lightning rod a
46
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:44.919
top one hundred and twenty foot radio
tower at Saint George Elementary in mclenney,
47
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:47.240
Florida. Oh No, an eagle
got stuck at the top of the tower.
48
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:51.199
The authorities realized someone would need to
go to the top of the tower
49
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.840
to help the eagle. Crews headed
out to the tower, cut a hole
50
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.159
in the fence, then one up
one hundred feet into the tower. The
51
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.560
eagles found an obvious distress, but
they were able to get him. That's
52
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.680
awesome, and hey, good news
for all of us. Be honest.
53
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:07.360
A new scientific paper has confirmed how
powerful swear words could be. That's right.
54
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:12.960
New research shows that swearing can make
you happier, fitter, I don't
55
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.560
know that, more resistant to pain, and can increase your attention in memory.
56
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.199
Yeah. The effects can include a
range of psychological, cognitive, and
57
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.599
emotional consequences. Now I'm regretting that
I made this podcast clean. I could
58
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.800
lose some weight. In a study, subjects who let rip with swear words
59
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.319
were able to keep their hands in
a bucket of ice water for longer than
60
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.719
non swears. Yeah, I'll believe
that one chanting a swear word was also
61
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:38.120
shown to increase muscle performance during physical
exercise. Messages with swearing in them was
62
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:44.360
seen as more genuine than those without. Remember with your swearing context is key.
63
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.039
