0:03 Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm joining Mack with five good news stories. A good samaritan found twelve thousand dollars and returned it to the senior citizen who lost it. The senior lost an envelope containing twelve grand at a supermarket. I have a lot of questions, but okay. The man got home, no envelope. They checked everywhere, no envelope. They went back to the supermarket. They got in touch with the manager, Dan, who said he'd checked the security camera footage to see if they could figure it out. Nothing. Suddenly another man shows up and explains, here's the envelope, what every last dollar accounted for? The senior said he showed honor. Many people would not pass that test. The man in question is Skip, whose girlfriend works at the market basket. They have tipped Skip with a three hundred dollars reward. They tried to give it to the girlfriend, but she wasn't there. Hopefully the three hundred dollars made it to Skip. This story is I feel like there's a lot more to this. Why was the twelve thousand dollars with the senior? The rationales that way, It couldn't be taken h move along, John, I think I will.
1:07 After being blown thousands of miles off course, six exhausted sea turtles got a ride back to their home in the Assories aboard a Royal Naval ship, The HMS Midway, was en route to the Caribbean on counter and Arcotics patrol. Rod Jones is the Royal Navy's Senior Maritime Environmental Protection Advisor and said as professional mariners, many of us are keen to do what we can do to reduce the loss of biodiversity at sea. Encountering marine wildlife is one of the greatest joys of seafaring, and if we can assist, even in a small way, to make that more likely in the future, we're pleased to be able to do that. Assisting turtles to return to warmer waters may not be the Royal Navy's primary role, but as a government body, we're pleased to be able to support the UK's ambition for more healthy and diverse seas. Nice job by eleven year old Rosalie. Some crayon drawings she made of a better playground became an actual playground. Her mom brought her to city Hall along with they're drawing and since the city Hall folks had already budgeted for a new playground.
2:04 They were like, okay, buy Centennial park budgeted for, but they had no specifics. The city's head of Parks and Recreation, Eric said, after seeing all the efforts she put none of those drawings and knowing what already ordered the playground for the park right by your house, the next best thing was to say we got a playground coming next year. They reviewed multiple versions, They checked all her boxes and got the colors right. John, you got a world record for us, I sure do. Skyline Chili celebrated at seventy fifth anniversary in the Cincinnati by taking on the record breaking challenge most photos of hot dogs uploaded to Instagram in one hour. The goal set by Guinness was five hundred photos the window eleven thirty am to twelve thirty pm on a Wednesday. The first two hundred and fifty Instagram users were rewarded with fifteen dollars Skyline Chili gift cards.
2:54 All the participants were entered into a drawing for the chance to win five hundred free cheese cony dogs aka chili dogs. I haven't seen a total number, but it was more than one thousand. Nice job by Captain Matthew. After hurricanes Helene and Milton, Southwest Airlines had partnered with animal rescue groups to emergency airlift about one hundred and fifty shelter pets. Captain matt adopted a three month old kitten he had volunteered to fly an emergency plane full of one hundred and forty seven animals displaced during Helene and Milton to shelters in Milwaukee. Captain says, not once did I actually think about coming home with an animal. I was just thinking about making sure we were safe and the animals were comfortable and we were able to operate on schedule. When he landed in Milwaukee, bad weather held him up for about forty five minutes with everyone aboard.
3:40 That gave the captain time to mingle with some of the passengers, and he met Avery, the three month old kitten who was rescued from a shelter in East Tennessee, and he thought to himself, should I bring her home? The captain says, she caught my heart. And those are your five good news stories for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too.
