Rescued from an Outhouse, Museum Heists and McDonald's Wrapper Sunglasses
If a thrilling museum heist, thousands of rhinos getting their freedom, and sunglasses made out of McDonald's wrappers sound like your cup of tea, then you're in the right place.

If a thrilling museum heist, thousands of rhinos getting their freedom, and sunglasses made out of McDonald's wrappers sound like your cup of tea, then you're in the right place.
First off, we dive right into the messy story of a woman who had to be rescued from an outhouse, all in the name of love...for her Apple Watch. Then, we move on to the tale of the art world’s very own Indiana Jones, Arthur Brand, who helped recover a stolen Van Gogh painting. Next, we celebrate the release of 2000 captive southern white rhinos back into the wild by African Parks.
We also follow the journey of five adorable puppies training to become assistance dogs and learning to navigate Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Finally, we explore the unique endeavor of a man who has found a sustainable use for McDonald's wrappers—making fashionable sunglasses

00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:10.080
The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack
with five good news stories and who good
2
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:15.119
news for a woman. She was
rescued from an outhouse. She climbed in
3
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:19.879
to retrieve her Apple watch and she
got trapped. She had lowered herself inside
4
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.960
the toilet after dropping the watch at
the Department of Natural Resources boat launch at
5
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:29.280
Dixon Lake. First responders were called
when the woman was heard yelling for help.
6
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.799
The toilet was removed and a strap
was used to haul a woman out.
7
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.799
Officials tell us, if you lose
an item in an outhouse toilet,
8
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:41.719
do not attempt to venture inside the
containment area. Serious injury may occur.
9
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:46.799
You're wondering did she get the watch
back? I don't know. I hope
10
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:51.280
so good news. We found your
stolen van Go painting. The painting was
11
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.719
stolen during a museum heist. Heist
is a great word. In twenty twenty,
12
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:59.320
under the cover of COVID lockdowns.
The thief was arrested, but the
13
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.840
painting at large. Now thanks to
art detective Arthur Brand that sounds like it
14
00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:07.640
should be a TV show on Netflix, the painting has been returned to the
15
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:14.120
Groanager Museum After listen to this after
an anonymous person took possession of the painting
16
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:19.599
left it on Brand's doorstep in an
Ikea bag. The painting is the Parsonage
17
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.519
Garden at noonan in Spring from eighteen
eighty four, painted in oil on paper
18
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:27.480
on panel. Art Detective Arthur Brand
said, we knew that the painting would
19
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.439
go from one hand to another hand
in the criminal world, but that nobody
20
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.000
really wanted to touch it. You
can only get in trouble, so it
21
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.840
was a little bit cursed. The
thief was sent to prison for several years
22
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:42.400
and given a nine million dollar fine. Smithsonian Magazine reports that art Detective Arthur
23
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:48.280
Brand has recovered over two hundred artworks
through his detective work, including two bronze
24
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:53.879
horse sculptures commissioned by Hitler and works
by Picasso, Dolly, and even artifacts
25
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.680
such as a fifteenth century Persian poetry
manuscript. The media has branded him the
26
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:01.040
Indiana Jones of the art world.
Good news, if you're one of the
27
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:06.719
two thousand captive Southern white rhinos,
you've been released into the wild. Yeah.
28
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:10.520
Conservation group African Parks works with governments
across the continents and manage twenty two
29
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:16.479
protected areas. They purchased the struggling
Platinum rhino breeding operation. The animals and
30
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:21.639
their offspring will be released in secure, managed locations in Africa over the next
31
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.159
decade. Meanwhile, five puppies are
learning to be assistance dogs, and they
32
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:30.479
had a good time at Detroit Metropolitan
Airport recently. The five pupps and their
33
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:34.520
trainers walked through a TSA checkpoint,
wrote an elevated tram, and board in
34
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.599
an airplane. It was part of
an effort to acclimate the dogs to one
35
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.120
of the many settings they're gonna have
when they get a job. Pause with
36
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:45.639
a Cause is a nonprofit that oversees
the custom training of puppies that become assistant
37
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.919
dogs. Liz Hood said, Eventually, when they're placed with our clients,
38
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.759
they may need to fly with them. So if they have the exposure now
39
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:54.520
while they're young, then it means
it's not gonna be a big deal for
40
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.879
them when they're with their clients when
they're older and hopefully the puppies of TSA
41
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.680
pre I'll tell you that the five
puppies bounded through the airport, earning more
42
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:06.759
than a few quizzical glances from airline
passengers. The dogs shuffled down a jetway
43
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:08.680
and onto a plane, and they
nestled at the feet of their trainers who
44
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:15.039
were seated and gave the pups some
tasty treats. It's been a minute since
45
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.919
I've done one of those wacky McDonald's
stories that keep showing up on this podcast.
46
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:27.120
Well, a man has created sustainable
sunglasses from McDonald's wrappers. Whats yeah,
47
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:31.360
a man makes sunglasses from anything,
including biscuits or McMuffin rappers. He
48
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:36.719
makes thirty five of these a week. Jack studied product design in school,
49
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.560
said sunglasses have always been a weird
interest that he's had. He started making
50
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:46.199
his own by using hardened denim.
Jack explains, I found that sharing the
51
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.639
process of how I make these frames
online was something that people had responded to
52
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.199
really well, so I've done it
more and more. There's only so much
53
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.080
I can show my viewers about the
actual process of making glasses, so I've
54
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.759
had to come up with other unique
ideas, like biscuits or food for McDonald's.
55
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:00.000
But he warns you if you want
to get your hands on up air,
56
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.800
there's an eight to ten week waiting
list. Jack said, I've recently
57
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.479
recruited some team members to help with
the business, so there's four of us
58
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:10.439
now. I'm not sure where the
business is in the future. Right now
59
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:12.960
we only sell online, but in
a year or so, it'd be nice
60
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.000
to see my frames in a store. Okay, and there's your five good
61
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.160
news stories for today. If you
like the show, tell a friend about
62
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.480
it. Maybe they'd like it too. And you can follow the show for
63
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:25.240
free on Apple Podcasts or Spotify,
wherever you get your shows. I should
64
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.360
also self plug. I host a
podcast every day of the week. It's
65
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.639
called Daily Comedy News where I talk
about the comedians and what they're up to.
66
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.639
If you want to check that out, all right, you go,
67
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:33.399
