Good news, the beer made it to the train on time!
Some soccer fans were on the train, but the train was delayed and they were out of beer, so they got resourceful and had a delivery guy meet them at the next stop!
A flight attendant held a woman's hand for an entire flight to keep her calm.

00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:09.400
The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack
with five Good News Stories. Do you
2
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:14.720
like acorns? Probably not as much
as Brian, who's seventy six. He's
3
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.559
been hoarding a tree seeds and hopes
to send some over to Ukraine, as
4
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:22.559
he describes trees as a sign of
life. Brian has a collection of more
5
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:26.800
than ten thousand. He says,
I'd also like to educate children about trees,
6
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:29.480
how important they are for our environment, and how easily they can be
7
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:32.520
grown. I just don't have the
finances to be able to take my projects
8
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.240
further to the next stages. I
don't know what to do with them all
9
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:39.159
now. He stores the seeds in
his garage and loft. He even bought
10
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.799
an extra fridge to keep them cool. They need to chill for a month
11
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.960
before they can germinate. He even
has a small forest planted in an old
12
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:50.479
kitchen sink. Maybe we should get
him a piece lily because NASA says the
13
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:54.520
peace lily can help remove dust and
toxins from the air. The peace lily
14
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.000
takes moisture in from the air through
its leaves, and what's better is it
15
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:02.520
doesn't need direct sunlight to thrive.
It'll thrive in bathrooms and bedrooms and help
16
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:06.959
improve air quality. It's pretty and
it's low maintenance. Thanks peace, Lily.
17
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.560
How about the flight attendant who spent
an entire trip holding the hand of
18
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.519
a nervous flyer. Floyd Dean Shannon
won the hearts of people around the world
19
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:18.280
after a photo went viral showing him
sitting on the floor of the plane during
20
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:22.040
a flight from North Carolina to New
York. There was an anxious woman on
21
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.920
the flight. A fellow passenger said
the woman was so nervous about flying,
22
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:29.319
so he explained every sound and bump
and even sat here holding her hand.
23
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:30.799
When it got to be too much
for her, he said, I got
24
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.400
you. Was just very reassuring,
told her not to worry. He was
25
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.239
gonna be totally safe, and she
was tearing up. With every little noise.
26
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:38.319
She'd be like, what's that.
He said, That's okay, it's
27
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.239
just the jet bridge pulling away or
whatever the case may be, and it
28
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.200
really helped her. I just really
hope that Floyd gets what he deserves,
29
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:49.359
which is everyone's love, everyone's praise, everyone's admiration. I'm so happy he's
30
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.959
getting recognition. I really hope it
leads to good things for him. Good
31
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.439
news, they found Nugget the dog. It took seven years and Nugget was
32
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.680
found seventeen hundred miles away, but
they found Nugge. Nugget went missing in
33
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:06.840
twenty fifteen in Farmington, New Mexico, and showed up in Travelers Rest,
34
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:12.599
South Carolina. Jennifer in South Carolina
was sitting on a porch was raining.
35
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.080
She saw a limping dog on the
road. Jennifer said, my first thought
36
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.960
is I need to take him to
the vet and get him checked for a
37
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.919
microchip. They did that, and
it turned out the owner lived seventeen hundred
38
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.800
miles away in New Mexico. The
owner said, when Gin texted me,
39
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:25.560
I was like, wait what.
That dog never left my side. I
40
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.120
thought he'd walked off to die because
he was already old. It is unclear
41
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.840
how Nugget, the dog, who's
now sixteen, ended up so far from
42
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:37.039
home. They suspect Nugget might have
been picked up by somebody on a road
43
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.240
trip who decided taking the pet,
not realizing that Nugget was microchip and belonged
44
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:50.639
to somebody else. I am Patty

00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:05.240
published books between us. Through end

00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.840
books we've written, the books we're

57

platform. And good news for some
English soccer fans, the beer gut delivered
58
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.719
in time way Do you hear this? They were stuck on a delayed train,
59
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:08.520
so they ordered beer delivery from Uber
Eats. They gambled that the Uber
60
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:12.360
Eats would show up before the train
got to the next station. They were
61
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.919
on their way to watch west Ham
play Brighton, but the train delays turned
62
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.240
their one hour trip into three and
a half hours. They had brought two
63
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:23.040
beers each for their ten o'clock train, but didn't get to Brighton until one
64
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:27.680
thirty. As they were approaching three
Bridges station, they decided to put it
65
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.160
on an order with Uber Eats,
hoping that they could time this out.
66
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.720
They'd promised the delivery driver and extra
twenty if he managed to get the four
67
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:38.439
beers and two siders to them on
time. They shot this on video and
68
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.959
they were communicating with Gino, the
driver who was waiting for them clutching their
69
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.240
order at platform five. The nerve
racking clip shows Jordan, who only had
70
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.399
a one minute window, hopping off
the train looking for Gino. Gino was
71
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:54.199
there. They got their beers and
presumably made it to the soccer game safely.
72
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:56.439
Who knows, I don't have that
part of the story. That's your

9
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:39.159
now. He stores the seeds in
his garage and loft. He even bought
10
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.799
an extra fridge to keep them cool. They need to chill for a month
11
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.960
before they can germinate. He even
has a small forest planted in an old

67
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:38.439

68
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.959
they were communicating with Gino, the
driver who was waiting for them clutching their
69
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.240

70
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.399
a one minute window, hopping off
the train looking for Gino. Gino was
71
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:54.199
there. They got their beers and
presumably made it to the soccer game safely.
