00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:05.559
I'm Johnny Mack with five good news
stories. Yeah, that was a seal
2
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:09.000
in the hardware store. What did
you think it was? Apparently one morning,
3
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:12.919
at six thirty in the morning,
a New Zealand first seal wandered into
4
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:17.960
the Bunnings and started walking around the
aisles. The Bunning's team quickly corralled the
5
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:22.640
seal with heavy boxes of dishwashers and
other appliances to create a makeshift pen.
6
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:28.120
Sarah Yates told Yahoo Australia, I'm
so proud of my team as they troubleshot
7
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:31.960
this very random Monday morning situation.
Yes, I rarely expect to find a
8
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:35.560
seal in my office. Want to
record the podcast? They called the Department
9
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:39.119
of Conservation. The seal went back
to the ocean, where it could eat
10
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:41.960
fish, hang on the beach,
and grow up to two hundred and seventy
11
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.759
eight pounds. Sounds like me,
Hey, Benji the dog, what do
12
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.640
you do in man? You see, Sandra the human was filling up a
13
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:52.799
pool so her dogs could cool off. Benji the Dog snuck in to the
14
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:57.039
garage and discovered a bag of rubber
ducks. These were left over from Sandra's
15
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:02.240
son's swimming lessons. Benji the dog
thought ducks looked pretty tasty and had eight
16
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.560
of them for lunch. Sandra told
the mirror the dog was eating a lot
17
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:07.359
of grass, and then he looked
kind of sick and threw up a slightly
18
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.920
chew duck. When we got home, he was sick twice more. In
19
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.359
the second time, he threw up
four ducks. The next day he threw
20
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:15.840
up two more, but he was
still eating, drinking, going to the
21
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.000
bathroom. Then around six thirty he
was sick all over the place, so
22
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.120
she took him to the vet.
There was still one duck left. They
23
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.400
had to do some surgery. Benji
the dog is okay. He was back
24
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.480
home two days later. Sandra said, Benji's really something. He's quite cunning
25
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.239
when it comes to eating things.
He shouldn't believe it or not. He
26
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:37.079
one time unzipped my son's school bag
and ate through his homework, one of
27
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:41.120
the few times the dog ate My
homework story is actually true. Good job
28
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:45.719
by a postal worker in Scotland who
saved a senior citizen from being scammed.
29
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.280
The scammers had contacted the senior and
claimed to be from her bank, saying
30
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.760
there was unusual activity on her account. Yeah, we know, I'll know.
31
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:53.680
These scammers do this crap all the
time. They told the lady to
32
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.040
withdraw all her savings and set it
to an address so they could deposit it
33
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.359
into a new account. The woman
came into the post office. The manager
34
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.439
said the customer was known to us. We thought it was out of character,
35
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:07.759
and we asked what was in the
package. The customer hesitated but told
36
00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:12.879
her it was money about three thousand
that you're withdrawn from the bank. The
37
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.599
post at worker told her it was
a scam, told her to call her
38
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.960
bank to verify the information, but
the scammers kept calling, but this time
39
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.159
the post at worker answered and the
scammers hung up. A college athlete had
40
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:27.039
won a scholarship to Eastern Michigan to
play football, but he gave it away
41
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.719
to his teammate who was struggling to
pay tuition bills. Offensive lineman Brian Dooley
42
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:36.199
had a scholarship, but he admired
the grind of his partner, offensive liner
43
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.479
Zach Kanti, who made the team
as a walk on. Meeting without a
44
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:43.639
scholarship, Conti paid seven thousand dollars
per semester tuition and all the expenses.
45
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.479
He even had to sell his blood
plasm to make payments. CONTI said,
46
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.080
football something I really loved. So
Ever since I got to school, I've
47
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.199
done whatever it takes to stay here
in a good position with academics and football
48
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.120
and everything. So I work a
landscaping job, but I rip out carpets
49
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.919
and I demo tile floors whenever I'm
not working, not doing football, or
50
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.360
going to school. Leave the kid
with a scholarship. Walked into the coach's
51
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:05.520
office and asked if there's any way
he could transfer his scholarship to Kanti to
52
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.120
keep his friend on the team.
Do leave the Kid with the scholarship,
53
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:12.159
told good Morning America. The offensive
line brotherhood is something that's hard to break.
54
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:14.840
We have each other's back. That's
why I wanted to get Kanti's back.
55
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:16.400
If Kanti wasn't here, I'd give
it to somebody else too. If
56
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:21.800
somebody's working that hard, they deserve
a scholarship. Their season starts September one.
57
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.319
Good news. If you like living
underwater, you'll just have to hang
58
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:30.759
around to the year five thousand,
according to a time traveler. Apparently,
59
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:36.400
a time traveler known as Edward has
revealed a chilling glimpse of humanity's future.
60
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.360
He's got a photo and he claims
it shows life in an underwater city,
61
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:45.159
perhaps Los Angeles, three thousand years
into the future. Edward said he was
62
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:47.680
part of a top secret experiment in
two thousand and four in which he was
63
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:52.400
able to time travel and manage to
get some photos of what he saw.
64
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.439
He told Yahoo News he was working
in a lab in LA when he was
65
00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:00.000
given the task of time traveling and
taking photos. You tend to get assigned
66
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.000
when you work at such a laboratory. Edward said, I was standing on
67
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.000
a huge wooden platform, not only
me, houses, buildings of course,
68
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:11.560
all made from wood. And after
I realized it was Los Angeles but underwater,
69
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.560
Edward claims humans were forced to live
underwater when the ice caps melted.
70
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.120
I'm not sure that's good news,
but those are your five stories. Anyway
