00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:10.279
The Shark deck. I'm Johnny Mack
with five good news stories. Angela and
2
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:13.640
Steve. Good news you guys who
won the lottery. They didn't even realize
3
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:18.280
it. They matched all five numbers
and he Set for Life drawing. Angela
4
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:21.239
popped in for some groceries and was
like, hey, can you check my
5
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.480
ticket? And then there was a
problem when they ran it through the machine
6
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.640
because they won the big prize.
She said, every Sunday I buy my
7
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:30.640
Set for Life tickets for the coming
week and normally get both checked at the
8
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:33.039
end of the week in the shop. I never checked the numbers online.
9
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:36.640
Unusually this week I went into the
co op on Tuesday and asked the lady
10
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.039
to check the numbers from the Monday
night draw. She had a puzzled look
11
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.000
on her face and she stared at
the National Lottery terminal and asked for her
12
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:44.439
colleague to take a look. I'm
starting to get nervous or worried there was
13
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.759
a problem. This was not helped
by the large line behind me. The
14
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:50.759
shop is sit and said, I
can't pay out over one hundred pounds.
15
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:53.759
You should go to the National Lottery
line and claim my prize. I didn't
16
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.479
even ask how much. I just
went back to my car and drove home.
17
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.119
I got home, Steve opened the
door immediately asked me, what is
18
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.039
wrong. I didn't look like my
normal self. She told him the story,
19
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:04.319
and then they called the number on
the back of the ticket. The
20
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:08.200
guy at the National Lottery told me
you won. I didn't sleep for days.
21
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.400
I was nervous. Was still a
dream. Was just amazing when everything
22
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.239
was confirmed. I'm not really into
material things, but this fabulous win will
23
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.920
help Steve and I enjoy life to
the full. We're both are tired.
24
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.280
We have the time, so I
want to go on a cruise, and
25
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:23.000
now she can garden more. I
love my garden. It's an oasis.
26
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.439
It's a very special place for me. So I think I'll treat myself to
27
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.959
some more plants. Two year old
Juliana is friends with a tree frog.
28
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.640
They were selling a white tree frog
in a Panama City, Florida store.
29
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.920
That's a whole other topic. What
are you doing, Panama City stores?
30
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.959
Why are we selling tree frogs?
Lead the tree frogs alone? The two
31
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:42.920
year old asked us she could take
the tree frog home. Mom said I
32
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.959
couldn't say no. They adopted the
frog in August. Mom says he just
33
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:49.799
crawls to the top of her shoulder
and they walk around together. He manages
34
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.480
us to hang on somehow. George
the tree frog sleeps in a cage in
35
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.959
Julianna's room. Mom says he's the
first thing she asked about when she wakes
36
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.599
up. When they leave the house, she says, bye, bye,
37
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.200
baby frog. I'll be back.
Mom said, I'd definitely recommend getting a
38
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:06.319
pet frog. He's just a happy
fellow. Well, good news if you've
39
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.680
been bitten by a snake. A
bike courier service in southern China, they'll
40
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:14.360
deliver your anti venom on time.
A bike courier in southern China got an
41
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:20.599
unusual order. A customer requested anti
venom for urgent delivery. The courier picked
42
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.639
up the order and said, sure, no problem at all. The order
43
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.639
requested that the courier collect the drugs
from a pharmaceutical store in a downtown area
44
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.159
deliver them to a small clinic in
the nearby countryside that had run out of
45
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.960
snake anti venom. The courier noticed
his reply hadn't been read. He texted
46
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.599
again, are he's still alive?
He's still alive? I'm passing the number
47
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.879
one middle school. Now hang in
there. The courier made the five kilometer
48
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.599
journey in twenty minutes. Normally that
would take more than half an hour.
49
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.719
When he arrived, I saw the
customer, a woman in her twenties.
50
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:54.919
Sure looked fine, so I felt
relieved. I am Patty Callahan, Henry,
51
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:59.680
I am Mary, Kay Andrews,
I'm Kristin Harmel, and I'm Christie.

What's Harvey? Friends of Fiction is

63
00:03:50.960 --> 00:04:01.159
You can listen to friends and fiction
on any major streaming platform. Hey,
64
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.280
good news if your microwave is dirty, because if it is, he probably
65
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:08.240
live at my house. You want
to get rid of those leftover stains.
66
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.400
No, this isn't a commercial.
It's just a quirky story ball. Say
67
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:14.800
what you do. It's take a
bowl of warm water, would slice lemon,
68
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:16.680
You put it on for about a
minute, then you wipe the microwave
69
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.399
when you're done. People on the
internet, we're talking about this. Somebody
70
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.839
wrote, my friend puts lemon juice
in a dish, puts in a microwave,
71
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:26.160
turns on two minutes, wipes out
with nice soapy water. So simple.
72
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:30.000
I was amazed. Another social media
user said, half a lemon in
73
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.800
a jug of hot water for five
minutes, don't open the door, leave
74
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.800
it in there for a few minutes, then open the door. I might
75
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:39.199
have to try that. Maybe I
have some sauce stains in the back of
76
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:44.000
my microwave. Don't judge and be
careful whose mailbox he messed with. A
77
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.920
man went on Reddit to show how
he got revenge on the mindless vandals in
78
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:51.000
his neighborhood. The vandals kept damaging
his mailbox. He'd come outside and find
79
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.360
a huge dent in his mailbox made
it hard to open. So what he
80
00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:00.199
did was he placed a tube inside
the mailbox, but then surrounded the space
81
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.800
around the tube with concrete to make
it almost impossible to dent. He shared
82
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:08.720
his revenge on Reddit, saying,
let's see how you little punk smash my
83
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:12.600
mailbox now. One user pointed out, you can see the concrete is crack
84
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.360
next to the dent. It seems
like they tried at least one more time.
85
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:17.879
Another user said, I hit some
mailboxes in high school. I got
86
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.639
community service and wrote letters of apology. Still feel bad about it. One
87
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:26.319
more user added, one swift hit
with a baseball bat auto break it the
88
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.560
batter's hand, that is, don't
smash mailboxes that you're five new stories for

00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:13.080
end depth conversations and interviews, we
discussed the books we've written, the books
55
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.639
we're reading, and the art of
storytelling. We are here with endless stories
56
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:23.400
to support indie bookstores, authors,
librarians and readers just like you. We
57
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:29.520
are always seeking innovative ways to introduce
dynamic voices and trends in publishing. On
58
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.360
this channel, you will find hundreds
of episodes with some of your favorite authors,
59
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.599
including the four of us, with
our new releases, as we reveal
60
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:40.120
the stories behind the stories, offer
writing tips, and talk about the creation
61
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:46.120
of novels, memoirs, and nonfiction
titles. So if you love books,
62
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.400
and you're curious about the writing world, you are in the right place.
63
00:03:50.960 --> 00:04:01.159
You can listen to friends and fiction
on any major streaming platform. Hey,
64
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.280
good news if your microwave is dirty, because if it is, he probably
65
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:08.240
live at my house. You want
to get rid of those leftover stains.
66
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.400
No, this isn't a commercial.
It's just a quirky story ball. Say
67
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:14.800
what you do. It's take a
bowl of warm water, would slice lemon,
68
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:16.680
You put it on for about a
minute, then you wipe the microwave
69
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.399
when you're done. People on the
internet, we're talking about this. Somebody
70
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.839
wrote, my friend puts lemon juice
in a dish, puts in a microwave,
71
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:26.160
turns on two minutes, wipes out
with nice soapy water. So simple.
72
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:30.000
I was amazed. Another social media
user said, half a lemon in
73
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.800
a jug of hot water for five
minutes, don't open the door, leave
74
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.800
it in there for a few minutes, then open the door. I might
75
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:39.199
have to try that. Maybe I
have some sauce stains in the back of
76
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:44.000
my microwave. Don't judge and be
careful whose mailbox he messed with. A
77
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.920
man went on Reddit to show how
he got revenge on the mindless vandals in
78
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:51.000
his neighborhood. The vandals kept damaging
his mailbox. He'd come outside and find
79
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.360
a huge dent in his mailbox made
it hard to open. So what he
80
00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:00.199
did was he placed a tube inside
the mailbox, but then surrounded the space
81
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.800
around the tube with concrete to make
it almost impossible to dent. He shared
82
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:08.720
his revenge on Reddit, saying,
let's see how you little punk smash my
83
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:12.600
mailbox now. One user pointed out, you can see the concrete is crack
84
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.360
next to the dent. It seems
like they tried at least one more time.
85
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:17.879
Another user said, I hit some
mailboxes in high school. I got
86
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.639
community service and wrote letters of apology. Still feel bad about it. One
87
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:26.319
more user added, one swift hit
with a baseball bat auto break it the
88
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.560
batter's hand, that is, don't
smash mailboxes that you're five new stories for
