The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack
with five good news stories. Hey,
2
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:11.160
good news. He can look Tom
Cruise in the eye. There had been
3
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.919
some rumors that you weren't allowed to. But when Tom was out promoting Mission
4
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:19.960
Impossible, some of his co workers
were like, that's crazy talk. Tom
5
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.960
Cruise himself says the whole eye contact
thing is the weirdest story he's ever heard
6
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:29.440
about himself. His co star Simon
Pegg said, Cruise is a normal dude
7
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.799
who just took us go karting and
zip lining. I've been able to hack
8
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:35.679
my way through all the bizarre mythology
that surrounds him. On one side,
9
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:38.399
he's Tom Cruise, this film star
if he wants to know about And on
10
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:40.640
the other hand, he's just a
guy. I like being a normal with
11
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:44.560
him. A man burst into tears
after being reunited with his dog who ran
12
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:48.039
away. The dog ran away when
his owner, Bubba, was in a
13
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.600
coma. Bubba was putting an induced
coma after being hospitalized with a bacterial infection.
14
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.799
He woke up from the coma and
was heartbroken. He learned that his
15
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:00.640
dog had gotten missing. Bubba was
inconsolable to learn that four year old Bullet,
16
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.799
the dog had disappeared. He had
adopted Bullet after being forced to retire
17
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.760
from his truck driving job for medical
reasons. He said the dog pulled him
18
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.319
out of a deep depression. Bubba
said, I had been a long haul
19
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.640
truck driver almost my whole life,
but I could no longer work for health
20
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.280
reasons. I was depressed because I
couldn't work anymore. I don't like living
21
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.719
off the government. I'd rather work, but life is what it is.
22
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.680
The people are staying with at the
time had a dog with babies. One
23
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:23.519
of them wouldn't leave my side.
I don't know why, but he started
24
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.000
hanging out with me, so I
adopted him. He really helped me emotionally
25
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.120
and brought me so much happiness and
joy. We hadn't been apart until he
26
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.519
came up missing. He went on
Facebook, asked for help and lost pet
27
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:34.799
groups, and he said when he
came up missing, I was devastated.
28
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.359
I was praying that he was safe
and he'd be found. Him being gone
29
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.879
was the hardest part of waking up. I was absolutely heartbroken to think I
30
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:42.920
wouldn't be able to see him or
touch him again. Bubba had been found
31
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:48.200
and placed in foster care. Kim
runs a dog rescue in Dallas and was
32
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.760
in touch with Bubba. They're back
together now. That's awesome. A team
33
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:55.920
of researchers at Washington University in Saint
Louis has developed a real time air monitor
34
00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.239
that can detect any of these SAARs
COVID two virus variants that are present in
35
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:05.560
a room in about five minutes.
Spokesperson said, there's nothing at the moment
36
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:07.519
that tells us how safe a room
is. If you're in a room with
37
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.159
a hundred people, you don't want
to find out five days later whether you
38
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.680
could be sick or not. The
idea with this device is you can know
39
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.960
essentially in real time or five minutes
anyway, if there's a live virus in
40
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.400
the air. That's pretty cool.
Do you like hydrogen trains? Will Cood
41
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.039
News The first hydrogen power train in
North America is taking writers on a two
42
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.840
and a half hour trip through central
Quebec this summer. The tourist train runs
43
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:31.400
from Manto Morrissey Falls in Quebec City
to Bay Saint Paul. Runs Wednesday through
44
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.439
Sunday until September thirty. Can carry
up to one hundred and twenty people.
45
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.840
In two rail cars. Nancy Belly
is the general manager of the private railway
46
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.639
that runs the train, says,
when you think that you'll left your car
47
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.639
behind and get on board a train
that amits water vapor, you feel like
48
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:51.280
you're part of an important decarbonization movement
in Quebec. Good news, Furbies are
49
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.039
back. Baby, Yeah, remember
thirty five years ago the furbies. They're
50
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:58.639
making a comeback. The new and
improved Furbye has its familiar giant eyes and
51
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.879
yellow beak. It also box gibberish
response to physical touch from its owners,
52
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:06.560
like the nineteen ninety eight original,
but hopefully less freaky. The Mirror shared
53
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:10.080
some horror stories of furbies. There's
one with two best friends. They remember
54
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:14.400
being kids at a sleepover and they
heard a strange sound at midnight. They
55
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:15.479
said on Reddit. I woke up
in the middle of night to hear he
56
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:20.479
play with me and knocking on the
bedroom door. Of course, my first
57
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.960
instincts were to wake up my friend
Olivia. We slowly opened the door and
58
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:28.960
both furbies were staring at us.
In nineteen ninety nine, furbies were banned
59
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.680
by the NSA and American offices in
the Pentagon administrators believed they could repeat or
60
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:38.639
record top secret conversations. The NSA
circle to the message to staff reminding them
61
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:44.560
recording devices were prohibited. This includes
toys such as Furbies. A spokesperson for
62
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:50.719
Tiger Electronics at Hasbro said the government's
information was based on funny yet incorrect rumors.
63

The NSA did not do their homework. Furby is not a spy.
