0:03 Kalaroga Shark Media. I am Johnny Mack with five good news stories and good news for you. You're not dead. Yeah, I know. Main Health apologized they sent out death notices to five hundred people. The five hundred people were alive, so they were a little surprised to find out they were dead. The system error caused Main Health to said letters of condolence to more than five hundred living people to inform their next of kin of their deaths. In a statement, they said, Main Health sincerely regrets this error. Let's add north from there to Nova Scotia. Mark and Grant were supposed to be helping a friend winterize his cabin. Instead they saved three lives. The three lives were whales.
0:46 They were walking on the beach and they saw three pilot whales strand out on the sand. Around nine am, low tide was coming, time was running out. Officials were on their way. They weren't there yet, so the guys stripped down or our briefs and we did the best we couldar told CTV. We got the first one out to see without too much issue. The second one, he took a little longer to come around, but we got him out into deeper water. Then they focused on the third whale, got the third whale in the water and called the authorities and were like, yeah, we're good. Thanks. Mark said, to be able to touch them and look in their eyes, that's kind of what it got us, and I think made us do the right thing. In Hungary, a gamer broke the gidness world record by playing Dance Dance Revolution for one hundred and forty four hours. That's insane. There's one hundred and sixty eight hours in a week, so that's like six plus days loose math. Yeah. Sabulks aka Grasshopper took the records for longest video game marathon as well as longest video game marathon on the Rhythm game title. He broke the record of one hundred and thirty eight hours, thirty four seconds, carried the American and earned her titles playing Just Dance. Grasshopper said, Ever since I learned about Carrie's achievements in marathon gaming, I often caught myself thinking about how she pulled the all time longest session almost a decade ago. I set up stepping Stones long ago to chase after the number one spot by building up the acquired skills in all aspects. Every time I attempted another marathon, I told myself it must feel like a dream achievement to all of us until the final days of each record attempt actually concluded. Grasshopper previously earned the records for longest video game marathon playing a Ruto game, which is twenty eight hours, eleven minutes and thirty two seconds. That sounds a lot easier than
2:18 playing Dance Dance Revolution for almost a week. This guy also has the record for longest racing stimulator in ninety hours Grand Tarismo seven back in twenty twenty three. Congratulations. If you're out by Chernobyl and listening to my podcast, you're a remarkable person. Volunteers with Dogs of Chernobyl. They're a nonprofit who care for the roughly seven hundred stray dogs that roam the abandoned area. They ran into three dogs that were completely blue. A group member said, we're on the ground now catching dogs and we came across three dogs that are completely blue. We're not sure what's going on. Local said it was a mystery because a week earlier the three dogs were regular colored. Everyone was like radiation, but they were like, no, that's not how radiation works. One said maybe they were getting into some sort of chemical. Maybe it's blue dye leaking from a portable toilet. They have still not figured it out, but the dogs appear healthy and active. And good news if you're in Ireland, We caught the lion. Video captured by a truck driver showed what appeared to be an African lion wandering the woods of Ireland, which is all kinds of funny. If you've been to Ireland and you're just picturing a lion roaming around Ireland, it makes no sense, a local officer said. The video came after several reported sightings of an unknown animal in the woods, of course, the infamous Irish lion. The officer said the animal had been seen before by harvesters working on the site, but it was from a distance, moving through the trees. What good news The animal has been found and identified, the police tell us. Turns out it was just a Newfoundland
3:50 dog with a fresh haircut. The dog is said to be very friendly. Those are your five good news stories for today. Have a great day.
