0:03 Kalaruga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. A nice shot by Bill. He was out for a walk and he found a wallet with fifty seven hundred dollars in cash inside, no witnesses. What do you do with it? Well, he did the right thing, he turned it in. He was honored by the Prospect Heights City Council. They gave him a plaque Director Gintry. He said so many people wouldn't have turned it in, especially with this amount of money. The man who had lost the wallet has asked to remain anonymous, and said, I didn't think I'd ever see it again, but my girlfriend reported it immediately. I was just amazed. Bill said he was running early for an appointment and he stopped to kill some time at the viewing area along the road by the airport and Prospect Heights and said, I just walked around to the back of the truck, looked down and there it was. The wallet was huge. It was kind of like George Costanza's wallet. That made him sit at an angle. He tried to contact the owner himself.
0:55 The driver's license had an address, but he couldn't find a phone number. He gave up. He called the cops. Why so much money, Well, the mysterious owner had just finished a paving job and had been paid in cash. He kept the cash on hand he was planning to buy a car with it. He didn't find the corey wanted at the dealership, so he still had the overstuffed wallet when he and his girlfriend got something to eat at McDonald's. They went to the airport viewing area to eat their McDonald's and it wasn't obvious until he woke up at seven point thirty and discovered the wallet was missing. He thought, I must have dropped it outside my house, but it wasn't there anyway. Nice job, Bill. Meanwhile, a bear visited the deck of a California home and was recorded by a security camera as it went in the hot tub, as pears do. But it's not like the hottob was just opening the bear climbed in. That would almost make sense. This bear opened the cover of the hot tub and climbed in. The bear also checked out a nearby inflatable pool, but that got popped by the bear's claws. Sorry inflatable pool owner. Here's one of those Guinness World records. This one a fifty four level house of cards built in just eight hours. Brian is a trained architect. He started breaking card stacking records back in nineteen ninety two. He needed a ladder to complete this card tower. Brian did not use glue or any other form of extra support. He broke the record for tallest house of cards in eight hours. That's like a one incomplete thing. It's like maybe you could build a taller house, but it might take you nine hours. Know what I'm saying.
2:21 Brian also holds the overall record for tallest playing card structure period, which is twenty five feet nine inches. That record had stood since two thousand and seven. Get cracking somebody, Nice job by Luke. He's a member of two fifty six. He's completed an Eagle Scout project restoring and preserving the final resting places of Civil War veterans. Luke said I had previously worked on a similar project in Elgin and it was a meaningful experience. I wanted to bring that same respect and care to Saint Charles where I live. Feels great to contribute to my local community and sure that the sacrifices of these veterans are not forgotten. Matt Clark, a local Eagle coordinator, said projects like these are crucial not only for the upkeep of our cemeteries, but also for honoring the veterans who fought our nation. They help maintain these historical sites integrity and remind us of the sacrifices made for our country. Hey, good news. Do you ever want to live in a nuclear bunker? I mean, I don't think any of us want to live in a nuclear bunker, but say there was a nuclear war, it'd be kind of nice to have a nuclear bunker.
3:15 You know, maybe not? This is awkward. Keep going, John, Okay, a cold war nuclear bunker has gone on the market. It comes with lush velvet curtains and ample bedspace. But there's one major catch. Hmm, wonder what it is. Well, despite being fully equipped to save people's lives in case of an atomic bomb, the nuclear bumper with ample bedspace and velvet curtains doesn't have a toilet. Might be a long time waiting that war out. You might wish you were outside after a while. The bunker does have a giant picture of a nuclear explosion on one wall. You know, you wouldn't want to escape from everything you want to be constantly reminded of the atomic horror outside. Anyway, this thing is being sold by auction on September twenty sixth, they think, go go for around twenty thousand dollars. A hatch and a ladder take you twenty feet down into the ground, where you enter a cozy studio room. It is cream of carpets, a sheepskin rug, velvet curtains, the picture of the nuclear explosion, and again no bathroom. Somebody didn't think this through. There's an electric heater and a stash of beer, which is not gonna help the no bathroom problem at all. No. It also comes with a book, the book Cold War Secret Nuclear Bunkers. You know what, before you head down to the bunker before the war.
4:31 Want you download every episode of this podcast. You're gonna need something to listen to. Those are your five good news stories today. Oh you're laughing at the atomic hard John? What is wrong with you? All right, have a great day.
