Judy Drench (The Lost Episodes)

0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with another episode of the Lost five Good News Stories. So what happened here is I opened up my file on my computer, which is called Good News twenty four, and I was just cleaning up the computer and I noticed a bunch of scripts that I never actually recorded for one reason or another. So I thought I'd dust them off and do some bonus episodes on Saturday. So when we were not recording in twenty twenty four, a Wichita courtroom had rang out with sobs and cheers when over two dozen people learned that their life savings had been recovered after being lost by the local bank. Yeah, over eight million dollars in funds were returned after the FBI located and seized a cryptocurrency wallet linked to an account in the Cayman Islands. This sounds like a movie. The bank's founder claims he had unintentionally lost it all by investigating in a sophisticated cryptocurrency scam. What kind of bank is the I'll tell you what kind. It's the kind where you lose your defense and you get twenty four years in prison for defrauding depositors and investors. The judge told the shareholders one by one they were going to be made entirely whole again after the FBI's Financial Crimes Division located the cryptocurrency account. Financial experts for mind, you'd make certain you understand the risks before any investment. Always good advice. There, a Canadian professor lost his ring while swimming in Barbados. However, forty seven years later, the man celebrated his eighty third birthday by putting the ring on again after it was

1:35 found by a free diver. Oh my, the professor says. One day I took my younger son and waited into the ocean. He was knocked over by waves. I reached to grab all of him. He pulled on my hand and my mac alumni ring came off. We searched for it, but we were unsuccessful. He had received the ring in nineteen sixty five when he graduated from the Faculty of Science. Fast forward to twenty twenty four, when Johnny mack forgot to record this script, something unbelievable happened. Here's where it gets even more crazy. There was another MacMaster University scholar visiting Barbados, and that guy brought along an underwater metal detector. The free diver Alex found the ring. Luckily, the ring was engraved with the year nineteen sixty five and the initials FMP. That turned out to be Frederick Morgan Perigo, who is the aforementioned professor pretty cool. Back in twenty twenty four, when Johnny Mack forgot to record this lost script, we had the finalists for the twenty twenty four Comedy Wildlife Awards. The finalists included a smiling elephant seal, an otter holding its feet up in the post of a guru, a cheetah playing hide and seek, and a squirrel stuck head first in the nhole of a tree. Other images a raccoon appearing to whisper into a fellow raccoon's ear, a fish chasing an eagle across the sky, in a frog whose head is enveloped by a large bubble in the water. Now, had I told you about this, you would have been able to vote. But since I didn't tell you about it, let's look up who won your winner is. I'm tempted a Ryan seacrushed you and do it after the break, but I won't. I'll tell you now.

3:05 Stuck squirrel Oh, this is so sad, not funny at all. You see a tree with a hole in it, and the squirrel is sideways but his legs are out sideways. Oh my, go to a comedywildlife photo dot com and a couple of those sub things you'll find it. Oh, poor squirrel. A woman broke her leg while hiking. She was rescued by a trio of young men who carried her all the way down the mountain on their backs. Wow. Ursula was out there doing a three point two mile hike. Her goal was to get to the place where she had scattered her mother's ashes twenty three years before. But Ursula is seventy nine now. She made it to the top, left some flowers, and heading down, stepped in a hole, fell, broke her foot, cried out for help. Three young hikers came to her side, called nine to one one. The search and rescue team said we'll be there in five hours. Yikes.

3:57 Troy is an Air Force airman, was hiking up to look out with his fiance and a friend. Ursula's like, got any painkillers and they were like nope. So Airman Troy May told The Washington Post, I knew I was capable of carrying her down. I really didn't make much of a decision. I just knew I needed to carry her down if I could. He strapped her on his back and he started walking down three quarters of the one point eight miles that remained on the journey. On the way, they passed occupational therapist Emily, who helped Ursula with some breathing exercises and why this is amazing, and physical therapist Tim, who splintered her leg. I probably should have recorded this story last year. We would have all enjoyed it. Ursula wound up with eleven screws and a titanium plate. And they had a naming competition for a fire truck. Fifteen hundred different names for the truck were submitted, sixty seven hundred people voted. The nominees were Fred for fire rescue, emergency deployment. That's pretty good, Judy Drench, spraying mantis, the New Zealand words for water in abundance, and the words for fire warrior. Who do you think one? That's right Judy Drench sixty two percent of the votes. The airport traier person said, and just like the Grand Damu inspired the winning name, we're looking forward to our Judy Drench having a long instellar career at Hawke's Bay Airport, And those are your five good news lost stories for today.

5:23 Back tomorrow with a normal episode.
