0:03 Calaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Bruno's restaurant in California burned down. Firefighters pulled out a silver crucifix from the ashes. Bruno took it as a sign. He opened a new restaurant and he has been feeding the cities hungry. Katerina's Club, founded in two thousand and five, now serves free dinners to over five thousand children daily in the counties of Orange and La. Every meal served at Serato's private dinner and ballroom that is the Swinky White House in Anaheim helped serve a pasta meal to a child. Now, as for the crucifix, it was a gift from Pope Francis, who Serrato had met four times. He said, this is a sign, a sign of God, for sure, no doubt about it.
0:51 The last time he met Pope Francis, the Pope said, continue like this. Researchers have used four thousand scans from seven hundred and fifteen brain tumor patients training an AI model to predict the risk of cancer recurrence. Wow, that's pretty neat the AI tool successive post surgery scans for even the smallest changes. The AI has predicted within seventy five to eighty nine percent accuracy switching gears. Another world record from David Rush, one of those guys that I tell you about like every third episode. What's he doing now? It's the fastest time to stack ten rolls of toilet paper with one hand. What are we even doing? Mister Rush says it took him hundreds of practice sessions and dozens of official attempts to break the previous record of five point four to five seconds. The new record for stacking ten rolls of toilet paper with one hand is now five point three eight seconds. Rush posted on social I wore out dozens of toilet paper rolls in practice, but they didn't go to waste. After serving their time in the training area, they were moved into bathrooms across the house to live out the rest of their lives in service. Rush says, he's not breaking you so many records lately because he's got a new job. Hey, this is cool. Twelve years ago, a nursing home in the Netherlands implemented a program in which, in exchange for thirty hours of time no companionship, local college students could live in the nursing home rent free. The director explains, it started with the idea of becoming the warmest house for seniors in the area, and we want to do that
2:21 with the energy of the youth. At the same time, there was a shortage of student housing, which meant that more and more young people were staying at home. I then thought, why don't I combine the two. The students aren't caregivers, they're just good neighbors. This was so successful another nursing home adopted it. They said the students bring liveliness to the house and support the sisters with various tasks, providing meals, reception work, help with computers and mobile phones, and medical questions. Oh and this one made me laugh out loud when I saw it. Putting together the show, Zoe, a Kentucky woman, found out that her son was playing with her phone. Her son placed in Amazon order for seventy thousand dumb dumb lollipops. Uh oh now, fortunately that costs only forty two hundred dollars. I was worried it was gonna be even more than that. Holly said she was shocked to discover thirty cases of dumb dumbs showed up on the doorstep. Each case had two three hundred and forty lollipops. Her son in second grade, admitted he had placed an order while playing with her phone. Amazon was like, we'll let you return eight of the thirty cases.
3:26 I don't know why eight. So Mom started attempting to sell the other dumb dums to friends and neighbors. She said. After a long day of working with the bank and talking to a few news stations, Amazon contacted her and agreed to refund the entire purchase. Oh boy, that must have been a fun day in the driveway. Okay, those are your five good news stories for today. Have a good one, will you
