The Christmas Decorations Are Up! (checks calendar, sees it is May)
Sure Patches the cat WAS 40 pounds but Patches is trying to work out 4 times a day.
A guy climbed three mountains with a fridge on his back.
And a woman already has her Christmas Decorations up. The radio stations will be changing formats any second now...

1
00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:09.679
The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack
with five good news stories. The next
2
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:12.320
time I ask you to help me
move, I don't want to hear it.
3
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:17.719
Because Michael Copeland has climbed the highest
mountains in England, Scotland and Wales
4
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:22.480
with a refrigerator strapped to his back. That's right. Michael Copeland wanted to
5
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:27.440
raise money for charity. He climbed
three peaks within twenty four hours with a
6
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.519
refrigerator strapped to us back to raise
money for the mental health charity Mind.
7
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:35.600
Copeland said the fridge represents the burden
that mental health can have on us all.
8
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.359
I'm a massive overthinker and always think
I'm not good enough. I always
9
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:42.560
want to be doing more. He
had to overcome grueling weather conditions including heavy
10
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:46.439
rain, snow, and forty mile
an hour winds, So suddenly helping me
11
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.920
carry the TV up four stairs doesn't
sound so bad, does it. He
12
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.359
ended up running downhill with the fridge
from the summit of Snowden to complete the
13
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.640
challenge just in time. He said
the whole challenge felt like a movie with
14
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.600
the changing weather conditions thirty to forty
mile an hour winds as we were going
15
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.920
up snow, so it almost felt
like a grown adult was trying to push
16
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:07.239
me over. Good news for African
leopards. A synthetic fur distribution program is
17
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:12.719
protecting a sacred connection to African leopards
and thus saving the animals themselves. You
18
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:17.719
see, in Southern Africa, leopards
have long been harvested for their beautiful spotted
19
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.519
furs. Those are often used in
ceremonies by cultural and religious groups in the
20
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:27.400
area. So a global wildcat conservation
organization called Panthera has partnered with area communities
21
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:34.200
and world class designers to distribute synthetic
furs for ceremonial garb. New data suggests
22
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.359
the initiatives have tripled the leopard population
in the region. Very cool. Lamar
23
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:44.159
Johnson did twenty eight years in prison
convicted of a murder he didn't commit.
24
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.879
When a judge overturned the conviction,
he said, the first thing he remembered
25
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:51.200
was feeling lighter. It's like twenty
eight years of weight was slowly being lifted
26
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.040
among his supporters in the courtroom.
During his final hearing, his pen pal
27
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.840
of more than twenty years, who
had always believed in his innocence, Jinny
28
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.439
Shrap, in his eighty years years
old. She wrote him weekly letters while
29
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:06.959
he was in prison. Johnson was
convicted in nineteen ninety four of the murder
30
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.680
of one of his best friends.
Several years later, the true culprits confessed
31
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:14.560
to the crime, but didn't overturn
his sentence. The Innocence Project got involved.
32
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:19.080
Took a while. All along,
Sharpin never stopped sending letters. Johnson
33
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.039
said. Over the years they connected
so well. Sharp And said, I
34
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.039
did share things with Lamar, and
he shared things with me. Because we
35
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:27.719
were that connected. I was always
happy when I saw a letter in the
36
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.240
mailbox that was from him. She
advises, reach out to somebody that might
37
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:39.000
need a friend could mean more than
you know. I am Patty Callahan,
38
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:44.400

of us with more than seventy five
published books between us. Through end depth
41
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:58.360
conversations and interviews, we discussed the
books we've written, the books were reading,
42
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:02.000
and the art of storytelling. We
are here with endless stories to support
43
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:07.560
indie bookstores, authors, librarians,
and readers just like you. We are
44
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:14.479
always seeking innovative ways to introduce dynamic

channel, you will find hundreds of
episodes with some of your favorite authors,
46
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:22.039

new releases, as we reveal the stories
47
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.479
behind the stories, offer writing tips, and talk about the creation of novels,
48
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:31.080
memoirs, and nonfiction titles. So
if you love books and you're curious
49

about the writing world, you are
in the right place. You can listen
50
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:47.280
to friends and Fiction on any major
streaming platform. Good news for Patches the
51
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:52.919
can't Patches is six and weighs forty
pounds. Well, Patches is now hooked
52
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.719
up with human k Ford, who
has adopted Patches. They're trying to help
53
00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:00.560
Patches loose and weight. Patches then
got down a thirty eight point eight pounds.
54
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:05.000
Patches is seeing a certified feline specialist
in his diet is pretty experimental right
55
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:08.680
now. He's a big eater,
but he seems to like Pattee and liver
56
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.639
Ford wanted to adopt a large cat
for at least three years. She had
57
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.560
spotted a big cat on Facebook while
spending time with her grandchildren and told to
58
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.240
her grandchildren she wanted to adopt the
big cat and name him Schmorgas Board.
59
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.360
I wanted to help out. It
wasn't just about naming Schmorgas Board. But
60
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:27.480
when you're dealing with grandkids, it's
fun to create a story. Because the
61
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.480
years went by, her family would
nudge here to find a massive cat to
62
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:32.839
help. Recently, her daughter sent
her a post about Patches and said,
63
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:36.959
this is your moment. Ford reached
out and his adopted Patches. Patches will
64
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.680
keep the name Patches. The goal
now is to make sure Patches gets three
65
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.079
or four focused ten minute exercise sessions
a day. Ford says, it's not
66
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:47.000
like I can look at him and
say, hey, it's two o'clock.
67
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:54.079
Time to work out, and good
news, ticktocker, it's Christmas time all
68
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.920
year already? Has the Christmas decorations
up? John? Did you record this
69
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.120
months ago? No? John?
Is this you run? No? It's
70
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.839
May fifteenth, everybody, Yeah,
Christmas two hundred days away or so.
71
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:08.639
The ticktocker, we don't know her
name, has stuff all over the place,
72
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.319
including a mat next to the kitchen
sink that reads marry Everything. There's
73
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.160
tinsel around the window. All her
videos contain up each Christmas music such as
74
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.839
Holly Jolly Christmas or let it snow. Someone in the comments joke they've been
75
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:24.920
waiting for Christmas since January first.
My wife usually starts the Christmas music the
76
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:30.279
day after Halloween, so maybe she's
not so bit. Those are five good
