1 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 71 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,160 for the day, follow a show for free on Apple, podcast, Spotify, 72 00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:24,680 YouTube, wherever you get your shows. You have a good day.
