00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:09.880
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm joining Mack with five

2
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:13.400
good news stories. A good samaritan found twelve thousand dollars

3
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.559
and returned it to the senior citizen who lost it.

4
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:20.160
The senior lost an envelope containing twelve grand at a supermarket.

5
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:22.679
I have a lot of questions, but okay. The man

6
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:26.800
got home, no envelope. They checked everywhere, no envelope. They

7
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:29.039
went back to the supermarket. They got in touch with

8
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.600
the manager, Dan, who said he'd checked the security camera

9
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.280
footage to see if they could figure it out.

10
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:38.119
Nothing. Suddenly another man shows up and explains, here's the envelope,

11
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.280
what every last dollar accounted for? The senior said he

12
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.479
showed honor. Many people would not pass that test. The

13
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.359
man in question is Skip, whose girlfriend works at the

14
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:50.560
market basket. They have tipped Skip with a three hundred

15
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.000
dollars reward. They tried to give it to the girlfriend,

16
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.439
but she wasn't there. Hopefully the three hundred dollars made

17
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.079
it to Skip. This story is I feel like there's

18
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.719
a lot more to this. Why was the twelve thousand

19
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.759
dollars with the senior? The rationales that way, It couldn't

20
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.319
be taken h move along, John, I think I will.

21
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.480
After being blown thousands of miles off course, six exhausted

22
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.000
sea turtles got a ride back to their home in

23
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:18.280
the Assories aboard a Royal Naval ship, The HMS Midway,

24
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.519
was en route to the Caribbean on counter and Arcotics patrol.

25
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.959
Rod Jones is the Royal Navy's Senior Maritime Environmental Protection

26
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.599
Advisor and said as professional mariners, many of us are

27
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:30.480
keen to do what we can do to reduce the

28
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.959
loss of biodiversity at sea. Encountering marine wildlife is one

29
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.200
of the greatest joys of seafaring, and if we can assist,

30
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.040
even in a small way, to make that more likely

31
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.120
in the future, we're pleased to be able to do that.

32
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.920
Assisting turtles to return to warmer waters may not be

33
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.640
the Royal Navy's primary role, but as a government body,

34
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:47.760
we're pleased to be able to support the UK's ambition

35
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:51.280
for more healthy and diverse seas. Nice job by eleven

36
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:55.040
year old Rosalie. Some crayon drawings she made of a

37
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.280
better playground became an actual playground. Her mom brought her

38
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.400
to city Hall along with they're drawing and since the

39
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:04.920
city Hall folks had already budgeted for a new playground.

40
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:09.039
They were like, okay, buy Centennial park budgeted for, but

41
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.319
they had no specifics. The city's head of Parks and Recreation,

42
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:14.960
Eric said, after seeing all the efforts she put none

43
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.039
of those drawings and knowing what already ordered the playground

44
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:18.599
for the park right by your house, the next best

45
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.159
thing was to say we got a playground coming next year.

46
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.240
They reviewed multiple versions, They checked all her boxes and

47
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.680
got the colors right. John, you got a world record

48
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:31.400
for us, I sure do. Skyline Chili celebrated at seventy

49
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.560
fifth anniversary in the Cincinnati by taking on the record

50
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:39.120
breaking challenge most photos of hot dogs uploaded to Instagram

51
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.879
in one hour. The goal set by Guinness was five

52
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.879
hundred photos the window eleven thirty am to twelve thirty

53
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.520
pm on a Wednesday. The first two hundred and fifty

54
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:53.879
Instagram users were rewarded with fifteen dollars Skyline Chili gift cards.

55
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:56.520
All the participants were entered into a drawing for the

56
00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:00.000
chance to win five hundred free cheese cony dogs aka

57
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.240
chili dogs. I haven't seen a total number, but it

58
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:08.759
was more than one thousand. Nice job by Captain Matthew.

59
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.919
After hurricanes Helene and Milton, Southwest Airlines had partnered with

60
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.919
animal rescue groups to emergency airlift about one hundred and

61
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.319
fifty shelter pets. Captain matt adopted a three month old

62
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.360
kitten he had volunteered to fly an emergency plane full

63
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.120
of one hundred and forty seven animals displaced during Helene

64
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.560
and Milton to shelters in Milwaukee. Captain says, not once

65
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:30.560
did I actually think about coming home with an animal.

66
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:32.439
I was just thinking about making sure we were safe

67
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.159
and the animals were comfortable and we were able to

68
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.199
operate on schedule. When he landed in Milwaukee, bad weather

69
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.840
held him up for about forty five minutes with everyone aboard.

70
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:41.879
That gave the captain time to mingle with some of

71
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:44.439
the passengers, and he met Avery, the three month old

72
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.159
kitten who was rescued from a shelter in East Tennessee,

73
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:49.560
and he thought to himself, should I bring her home?

74
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.680
The captain says, she caught my heart. And those are
