00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:12,359
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey, I'm
Chunny Mack with five good news stories.

2
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,480
Good news if you're trying to get
back to the future. A nineteen eighty

3
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,760
one DeLorean DMC twelve was found in
a barn and southern Wisconsinate had been there

4
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,839
for years, if not decades.
There were only nine thousand and eighty such

5
00:00:25,879 --> 00:00:28,920
cars built in the eighties. This
was a car number five hundred and seventy

6
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,359
one. Guess how many miles it
had on it? Nine hundred and seventy

7
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,280
seven. You're gonna have to do
some work on it. The tires had

8
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,560
long since deflated, some mice had
nested inside of it. Mikeel Ows,

9
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,719
DeLorean Midwest An Auto shop had said
it was literally sinking into the earthy of

10
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:48,240
this gravel floor barn untouched for years. A guy named Mark had called the

11
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,759
shop saying he had a DeLorean to
sell. Michael wasn't too interested because it

12
00:00:51,759 --> 00:00:54,799
would have had a travel seventeen hours
to check it out. Figured it could

13
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,920
be a bust, but then he
heard about the nine hundred and seventy seven

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,640
mile O dometer. He traveled there
and met the owner in the barn.

15
00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:06,560
The exterior was covered in dust,
the interior in mouse poop. Other than

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,159
that, the car is in pretty
good shape for being more than forty two

17
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,120
years old, but it hadn't been
driven much and never had parts of placed.

18
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:15,439
It was left in a barn.
Mark points out sunfade is a huge

19
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:18,719
killer for cosmetics. Michael was going
to refurbish the car and try and sell

20
00:01:18,719 --> 00:01:21,480
it for more than one hundred grand, but said, I'm starting to develop

21
00:01:21,519 --> 00:01:23,840
a soft spot for it. Good
job by Andrea, who's forty two.

22
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,480
Andreya had competed in triathlons and even
a half iron man, but in twenty

23
00:01:27,519 --> 00:01:30,480
fourteen she noticed her times were slowing
and her muscles weren't as strong as they

24
00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:34,120
used to be. She discovered she
had als commonly known as Luke Gerrig's disease.

25
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,840
Andrea said, in six months,
I went from the strongest I've ever

26
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,280
been to walking with a cane.
I was shocked and sad in the moment,

27
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,640
but I also realized I had no
more time to waste in this life.

28
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,920
Doctors told her her life expectancy was
like two to five years. She

29
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,599
decided she wanted to use her time
and body in a way she loves.

30
00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:53,319
She bought a recumbent strike, sometimes
used in races as an accessibility alternative,

31
00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:56,280
and competed in what she thought would
be her last triathlon. She said,

32
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,079
I came in last by almost an
hour, but people stayed to watch and

33
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,000
encouraged her to keep going. Before
she knew it, she had completed marathons

34
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,959
in every state, the first person
with ALS to do so. Her fiftieth

35
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,879
one was in Alaska. She wrote
a memoir, and her husband says,

36
00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:10,560
I hope it can be used to
show people how to take on whatever marathon

37
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,960
is in their lives, whether it's
als or whether it's anything. Amazon driver

38
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:17,879
Elijah delivered more than a package at
a Chicago house recently. He also dropped

39
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,599
some fashion pointers. You see.
Elijah shut up at the house and noticed

40
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,360
teenager Luke was struggling to put on
a tie, so Elijah stepped in to

41
00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:29,919
help. Family member stood around,
smiling and laughing. He told the young

42
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,120
man, you're killing the game.
He was clean. He reminded me of

43
00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:36,400
myself when I was coming up.
That's how I used to dress. Elijah

44
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:38,479
learned how to tie its sigh when
he was ten. He said, all

45
00:02:38,479 --> 00:02:40,479
the brothers around me showed me how
to do it. Elijah said, it

46
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,400
made the news. I didn't believe
it at first, but then I had

47
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:47,280
other people calling me. Made me
feel good. Good news for a rescue

48
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:52,400
dog named Brett Michaels. Brett Michaels, the dog has been adopted by human

49
00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:55,639
rock star Brett Michaels. That's right, you know Brett Michaels from poison.

50
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,759
He heard about Brett Michael's the dog
when the Nebraska Humane Society shared a Facebook

51
00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:02,800
post about the dog whose blood was
used to save a month old kitten.

52
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,800
The Humane Society wrote, it's not
very often that our own dogs had get

53
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,159
a chance to be a hero.
When a kitten's life was hanging in the

54
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:12,479
balance, six year old husky Brett
Michaels stepped up to save the day.

55
00:03:13,039 --> 00:03:16,039
The kitten was later named Thorn,
after poisonous nineteen eighty hit. Every rose

56
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,280
has its Thorn. The kitten was
suffering from major blood loss, which caused

57
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:23,120
him to develop a nemia. To
survive, he needed a blood transfusion.

58
00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:27,360
Alec Rose no not axel Rose.
Alec Rose, who works at the shelter,

59
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,159
said feline blood is very particular as
far as typing goes. We didn't

60
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:32,560
have time to figure out what type
the little guy was and had to find

61
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:37,039
a suitable donor. That process would
have taken a lot longer than he actually

62
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,360
had. The shelter's vet came up
with a plan called Zeno transfusion, which

63
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,520
involves transfusing blood from one species into
another. Brett Michaels the Dog had recently

64
00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:49,439
undergone a full vet exam, including
blood work, and was deemed a viable

65
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:53,240
donor candidate. So that alone made
the news. Then they got a message,

66
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,280
Hey, Team Brett, reaching out
to you. What an absolutely amazing

67
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:59,319
story we wrote to you in a
private message, Brett Michael's The Human would

68
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,080
like to explore opting Bret Michael's the
Dog. Brett Michael's The Rocker said,

69
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,520
the story of Brett Michael's the Husky
saving Thorn the kitten's life with the blood

70
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:11,520
transfusion was beyond incredible. I was
immediately moved and personally contacted the Nebraska Humane

71
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,199
Society to say, go no further, I will adopt Brett Michael's the Husky.

72
00:04:15,279 --> 00:04:17,279
Well, I don't know how you're
gonna feel about this next one.

73
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,759
Do you want to save some money? Sure you do, right, You're

74
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,800
in what could Johnny Mack possibly say
to you that would make you go no,

75
00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:27,879
I don't want to save any money. Well, a ticktocker explained how

76
00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:31,959
you can save money. You're gonna
make the switch to family cloth. Get

77
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,519
ready for this. She said,
we had a toilet roll subscription for the

78
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,959
last three years, and I can
easily see how much less we're using and

79
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,160
how much we're saving. All you
need is a set of wipes and a

80
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,600
zip wet bag in the last four
years. What's this about, Johnny Mack?

81
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:49,639
Well, you see, family cloths
are reusable cloths that could be washed

82
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,720
after you've been to the bathroom.
You get the idea you're gonna do your

83
00:04:54,759 --> 00:04:57,560
stuff, use the thing, then
you're gonna wash it, and then it

84
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,319
goes back. If we're gonna do
this, I at least want one with

85
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:03,000
my name on it. You can
use your own, I'll use mine,

86
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:08,680
all right. That's five good news
stories for today. If you enjoy the

87
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:11,560
podcast, tell a friend about it. They might like it too, and

88
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,160
they can follow it for free on
Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, wherever

89
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:17,519
they get their podcasts. Have a
great day,
