00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.919
Kalaroga Shark media. Good news, we caught your kangaroo after

2
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:16.719
six months in Germany. Ha Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with

3
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.079
five good news stories. You see Skippy the kangaroo. Gotta

4
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:23.160
love that name. Skippy escape from his owner's home in

5
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:27.640
Germany on New Year's Eve. I have so many questions. Unfortunately,

6
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.600
this new story out of Germany doesn't have much to tell.

7
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.000
For example, how did the kangaroo come to live in Germany?

8
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.759
That's one of my questions. Police said Skippy was finally

9
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:42.119
captured by a resident fifty miles from the owner's house. Boy,

10
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:44.719
this kangaroos got stories to tell. The kangaroo is being

11
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.719
housed in the rescuer's horse pen and so the owner

12
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.600
can come bring him home. I have more questions. How

13
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:54.840
does one bring a kangaroo home pickup truck? I don't know.

14
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:59.200
In Copenhagen you can earn credits for public transport, attraction,

15
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:03.880
entrances and more just by picking up litter. Copenhagen wants

16
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.359
to invite good behavior, so rather than penalize you for littering,

17
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.200
they'll reward you for not littering. You can earn rewards

18
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.000
at Copenhagen attractions ranging from her free lunch or a

19
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.519
cup of coffee, to a kayak tour or even a

20
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:20.400
free entrance to a museum by participating in several sustainable activities,

21
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:25.040
including biking or taking zero emissions public transport. Good news

22
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:28.000
for a Greek grandmother in Pennsylvania. She recently won five

23
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:32.280
million dollars playing scratch off lottery tickets. Donna had just

24
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:35.799
successfully beat breast cancer days before her birthday. She picked

25
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.640
the winning lottery ticket after having to cancel a flight

26
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.000
because of consistent delays. She said, I don't know what

27
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.000
I do with myself. I have to keep moving. I

28
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:46.239
think I'll invest some of the prize, but yep, then

29
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:48.879
I'm going to go to Alaska. She was on her

30
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.400
way to Florida, which is not Alaska at all, and

31
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.959
the plane was delayed so many times that she decided

32
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.680
to change your plans and went home. On the way home,

33
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.879
she stopped at the speedway and picked out the first

34
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:02.079
scratch card in the display box. She scratched it off.

35
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:04.560
I went back to the store and said, can you

36
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:06.719
please check this? Is this right or wrong? And the

37
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.560
clerk said it's right. She called her daughter, who was

38
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.120
still at the airport. Apparently a lot of delays. To

39
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.240
share the good news, Donna plans to keep working. She

40
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:18.439
works with the Amish to provide transport to them when

41
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:20.800
they need it. John do have a world record for

42
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.800
us today? Of course I do, and Iowa Family's great

43
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.719
Dane has been named world's tallest living dog. How tall

44
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.599
is the dog? Three feet two inches Kevin. The dog

45
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.159
was measured from his feet to the point at the

46
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:38.520
base of his neck over his shoulders. The previous record holder, Zeus,

47
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.800
died last year. Zeus was three feet five point one

48
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:45.639
eight inches tall. Kevin is three years old. Named after

49
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:49.439
Kevin from the Home Alone Movies. Owner Tracy says, Kevin

50
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.840
is scared of most things. He's terrified of the vacuum.

51
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:53.520
He won't let it come within six feet of him.

52
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:55.960
He'll jump and run to get away with it. Tallest

53
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:58.759
dog ever also named Zeus, but not the Zeus I

54
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.639
already told you about this who was three feet eight

55
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.400
inches tall. That record set in twenty eleven. And good

56
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:10.520
news for Tyler. Tyler has successfully completed his mission, which

57
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.319
was to get all the receipt numbers at the wah

58
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.159
Wah that were numbered zero to nine, nine nine. You know,

59
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:17.919
you go in, you order a sandwich and they give

60
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:19.840
you a little receipt there with a thirty eight on it,

61
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:21.240
and you wait till they call number thirty eight and

62
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.400
get your sandwich. You've done this. You know what I'm

63
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.520
talking about here. Tyler said his mission started out as

64
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:30.120
a joke. He told WPVIIV the collection just got bigger

65
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:31.719
and bigger. Eventually I was like, now I need to

66
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.039
collect them all, and here we are. It took about

67
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.240
three years to end up with at least one slip

68
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.919
for each number from zero to nine, nine to nine.

69
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.400
Tyler says, I've been going to wah Wah my whole life.

70
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.240
I would start my day with a coffee. I usually

71
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.159
get lunch from there, sometimes dinner. I get mac and cheese.

72
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:48.439
Every single day. I get a nice latte every morning.

73
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:51.000
Wah Wah is like a pretty standard part of my diet.

74
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:53.400
I started telling my friends, Hey, I need a like

75
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.599
a two twelve. If you have a two twelve, send

76
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.280
it my way. He posted a slip collection on social media.

77
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.680
Wahwa chimed in and said, this is the level of

78
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:07.479
dedication we're talking about. He's got a new mission He's

79
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:09.240
going to try to take a photo in front of

80
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.800
every single wah wah location. God love it. And those

81
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.759
are your five good news stories for today. You have

82
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:15.319
a good one.
