Lucky the Sheep, Bunk the Squirrel and The Ghostbusters Porsche

1
00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:09.519
The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack
with five good news stories. Do you

2
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:14.599
like women's sports? You should hang
out at the Sports Bra. You'll find

3
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:19.839
trophies, soccer scarves, and team
flags coating the walls. There's beard taps.

4
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.440
But if you pay more attention,
two things will stick out. One

5
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:28.519
the TV's only show women playing sports, and two the bars named after underwear.

6
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:32.079
Jenny's the founder. She was all
excited the night of the twenty eighteen

7
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:36.719
women's NCAA Women's Basketball Championship. She
and her friends headed out to the bar

8
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:40.240
to watch Notre Dame take on Mississippi
State, and they discovered the only viewing

9
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:44.159
option was a tiny, soundless TV
in the corner. She learned that women's

10
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:48.640
competitions make up only four percent of
televised sports, so she decided to open

11
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.119
a place that would only show women's
sports, even it meant turning off the

12
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.840
TVs when there was absolutely nothing on. That's why if you go in sometimes

13
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:00.840
in the mid days you'll see tech
ball, TEQBA L. I'm sure you're

14
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.000
curious what tech wall is, and
I've tried to research it. Not sure

15
00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:07.760
I understand it. Wikipedias as tick
wall as a ball sport played on a

16
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.599
curved table combining elements of tack raw
and table tennis. I don't know what

17
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.760
tack raw is and we don't have
time, but back and forth. The

18
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.000
players hit a football with any part
of the body except arms and hands,

19
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.239
so kind of sort of socker ping
pong. That makes sense. Maybe let's

20
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.799
move on. Good news for Lucky
the sheep. Lucky the sheep ran into

21
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.879
an eight year old girl who helped
nurse Lucky the sheep back to health.

22
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.079
When Lucky the sheep was rejected by
its mom as a lamb. That's sad.

23
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.159
Lacy found Lucky the sheep close to
death. She took her home to

24
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.640
bring her back from the brink with
cuddles. Lacy put her in a box,

25
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:44.000
brought her home, placed her in
front of the fire. Didn't take

26
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.560
long for Lucky the Sheep to come
back around. Lacy nursed her back to

27
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.120
health. That's how she got her
name. She bottle fed Lucky and kept

28
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.920
her warm by wrapping her in blankets
in the house and giving her lots of

29
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.719
cuddles. We've used the word cuddles
along this storage anyway. Lacy tells people

30
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.840
that the reason Lucky survived was because
of how much she loves her. It's

31
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.200
so special to see the relate ship. He could just tell they're going to

32
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:05.079
be friends for life. They even
recently threw Lucky the sheep a birthday party

33
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.280
for her first birthday. But it's
not just good news for sheep, it's

34
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.240
good news for squirrels too. A
woman has formed a bond with a squirrel

35
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:14.360
that she helped raise, and now
that squirrel's not going back to the wild.

36
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.879
Oh no. Patricia adopted Bunk the
squirrel. He too, was rejected

37
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:22.479
by his mother. What's going on? Animal Kingdom? Patricia found Bunk the

38
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:24.680
squirrel back in twenty sixteen. He
was rejected by his mother. He had

39
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:30.439
to fend himself. Tricia's original plan
was to get Bunk the squirrel healthy enough

40
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.360
that he could be released into the
wild, but Bunk didn't want to leave

41
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.520
the house, kind of like me. He tried to release her into the

42
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.240
wild, and he returned five days
later. Refused to leave. Pun holding

43
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.919
on he fell asleep in my hands. Getting him ready to go again,

44
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.719
I quickly found he refused to leave. I wasn't aware that squirrels had that

45
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.319
much personality. But my favorite part
of raising bunk the squirrel was the time

46
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.240
we had to bond. I cherished
this time the most, so Patricia has

47
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.360
created a wild space for the squirrel, complete with a tree house made up

48
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.560
of a variety of wood for him
to chew on Climb up you made out

49
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.919
of furniture she found on the side
of the road. A boy has raised

50
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.919
some money to help out his favorite
waiter. Kaizen is an eight year old

51
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.240
regular at the waffle house. He
always asked to be seen in the same

52
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:15.759
place. His favorite waiter is DeVante
Gardner. However, recently Kaizen found out

53
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.080
Davante was gone through a hard time. Davante and his family had to leave

54
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.159
their apartment due to a mold infestation. They wound up living in a motel

55
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.240
and DeVante had to walk miles each
way to the waffle House and Little Rock.

56
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.479
Kazin set up a fundraiser to help
out, describing Davante as one of

57
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.039
the most joyous and positive people you've
ever met. He was looking for a

58
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:35.800
decent priced cars. Family was unfortunate
and he ended up an apartment riddled with

59
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.319
mold. He had to get his
kids out at set him back a lot.

60
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.439
The fundraiser raised over fifty thousand dollars. Davante was able to get a

61
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.599
new car and get an apartment for
his family for at least a year.

62
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:49.080
Davante said, I love working at
waffle House because I have an opportunity to

63
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.520
make people feel good every day.
I loved people come in, especially Kaysen

64
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.439
I and Patty Callahan, Henry,
I'm Mary kay Andrews, I'm Kristin Harmel,

65

Congratulations to Peter Bailey, he has
been named best Dad in the World.

78
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:15.319
Why he converted his Porsche into a
Ghostbusters theme racer for his seven year

79
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.560
old son. Peter said, my
son watched the Girls version that came out

80
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.199
in twenty sixteen when he was probably
three or four years old, and he

81
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.000
loved it. I was like,
you need to see the original ones,

82
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.120
and that was it. He was
really into it, and he got me

83
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.199
into it because we had the father's
son bond going on. Then they announced

84
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.040
Ghostbusters Afterlife and Peter said he knew
he had a gear up for it.

85
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:36.120
See the pun there. He had
a good job. So he decorated his

86
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:41.160
Porsche to look like an Ecto one
mobile and he and his son wants to

87
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:46.519
see Ghostbusters Afterlife. Dressed in matching
shoes, hoodies and Proton packs. The

88
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.000
Porsche is equipped with flashing ill of
lights, hazard warning tapes, and a

89
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:55.040
Ghostbusters logo. Dad says it was
well worth spending fifty pounds on stickers for

90
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.680
the car, especially after his long
work hours left him feel guilty about not

91
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:00.959
spending warm time on this family.
