1 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:08,080 The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories saying good news. 2 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,800 If you're missing stuff, the Pirate Kitty might be responsible and we can 3 00:00:11,839 --> 00:00:14,560 find your stuff for you. Came a call in her husband moved into a 4 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:19,519 new apartment near Brisbane. A ginger cat would visit them every day in the 5 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,800 yard. They soon realized that the cat was bringing them toys and other objects. 6 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,280 They were wondering where the stuff was coming from. K posted a photo 7 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,559 of the collection on a Facebook group for local neighbors. Dozens of folks in 8 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:36,240 the group noticed their stuff. He got nicknamed the Pirate Kitty. Now remind 9 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,039 you it's not their cat. McCall identified the cat's owners, who claimed they 10 00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:45,240 couldn't stop him from wandering the neighborhood. Those owners asked the McCalls to help 11 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,560 them find a new home for Pirate Kitty. Another resident in the area, 12 00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:54,359 Ingrid Moyle, decided to adopt Pirate Kitty. The cat's original name was Johnny, 13 00:00:54,799 --> 00:00:59,000 but Moyle renamed him Kilo, after her favorite Star Wars character Kylo Wrenn. 14 00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:02,159 You know the bad guy in the new trilogy, Kilo. He's now 15 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,319 a strictly indoor only cat. Who brings toys to his new owner's bedroom while 16 00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:08,319 she sleeps at night. He's quite spoiled with a large box of toys and 17 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,359 has accumulated quite the fan base. So your stuff is now safe, say 18 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:18,200 good news from the Daily Mirror. A homeless man looks unrecognizable after a free 19 00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:23,799 haircut from a kind hearted barber. Since twenty seventeen, barber Joshua Santiago has 20 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,680 traveled around the United States in his mobile barber shop, offering free haircuts to 21 00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:32,719 those who are unable to afford them. Through his nonprofit organization Empowering Cuts. 22 00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:36,480 He shared a clip on TikTok. An unnamed homeless man can be seen with 23 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,840 matted hair, which Joshua then gently trims away. The end result looks beautifully 24 00:01:40,879 --> 00:01:44,480 neat, with the man's face now clearly visible. You'd find a TikTok under 25 00:01:44,519 --> 00:01:49,359 the account Empowering Cuts Joshua captured the video. Never underestimate the pain of a 26 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,959 person, because, in all honesty, everyone is struggling with something. Some 27 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,159 people are better at hiding it than others. One commenter said, and I'm 28 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,840 not making fun of this. He looks like one of the backstreet boys. 29 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,239 It's amazing how little changes and make a difference. Are you a fan of 30 00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:06,920 Hobbitt houses? Well? Good news. Stewart Grant has a cottage he bought 31 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,919 as a wreck with no roof and no doors. Back in nineteen eighty four 32 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:14,120 when he was renovating a house. He found that project so satisfying that he 33 00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:16,599 decided to renovate the quirky building, which was two hundred years old. He 34 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,879 wanted to make it his house. Stewart is ninety years old. He doesn't 35 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,840 have a mobile phone, he doesn't use the internet. He no longer drives, 36 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,039 but he loves getting out and meeting people, and now he's getting tourists 37 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,800 after his house was posted on a French tourist board that was recommending places to 38 00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:36,919 visit in North Scotland. Grant said, I haven't watched Lord of the Rings. 39 00:02:37,199 --> 00:02:39,120 It's just a coincidence that my front door is almost the same shape and 40 00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:43,759 same kind of wood. It was a shoemaker's cottage and a croft. There 41 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,439 was no roof, just four walls which are two hundred years old. It's 42 00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:51,039 not a fancy house. It's made from other people's leftovers. His neighbors cows, 43 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,479 chickens and a donkey. Grant said, I always always a glutton for 44 00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:58,159 scenic beauty, beautiful houses and thatched cottages in England. I cut the wood 45 00:02:58,199 --> 00:03:00,639 myself from fallen trees and collected stones from the river for the stonework I put 46 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,919 the stairs in. Took quite a few years. I never counted it. 47 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,919 I just enjoyed doing it so much. I was getting such a buzz out 48 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,879 of doing it now that tours come bus loads, and they would apologize for 49 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,719 disturbing him, saying they'd feel a lot better if there was a collection box. 50 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,879 So we put out a collection box. No one has to put anything 51 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,680 in it, but he's pulled over five thousand pounds from it. He says, 52 00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:23,960 you get a real buzz out of doing interesting stuff. Despite being ninety, 53 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,919 he feels like a teenager. From CNNA cancer sufferer who was told he 54 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,319 had twelve months to live was saved by a wonder drug and says, I 55 00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:35,439 feel very lucky. Robert Glynn is fifty one. He was diagnosed with deadly 56 00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:38,400 bild Duck cancer after suffering severe pain in his shoulder which left him unable to 57 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,560 sleep. They gave him the drug and then surgeons found only did tissue, 58 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,240 which meant the treatment had killed off all the cancer cells. Mister Glynn said, 59 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,360 I wouldn't be here today without the trial. When I was given the 60 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,639 option to take part in research, I jumped the chance. You do anything 61 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,080 you can to extend your life. I feel very lucky as I had the 62 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,800 cancer for two years and had no idea, so getting me all clear was 63 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:06,240 overwhelming.

Darren Dowling did that. He ordered a pizza with twenty 78 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:25,279 five toppings. Wound up costing him sixty four pounds for a pizza with all 79 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,800 the toppings. He made a video of it, and he said, Oh 80 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,040 my god, They're just layers and layers of the stuff. The taste was 81 00:05:31,079 --> 00:05:34,160 a bit much, so many flavors kicking about your mouth. It's not for 82 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:39,639 the faint hearted. I'd definitely recommend just ordering a normal pizza. So how'd 83 00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:43,079 this come about? He said, I had just ordered a Domino's pizza with 84 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,319 nothing on it, no cheese, no sauce, So I wanted to flip 85 00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:48,720 that on its head, so I ordered every single topic. As you can 86 00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:53,399 imagine, this got some comments. One person said tuna on a pizza is 87 00:05:53,439 --> 00:05:57,439 wrong. A second said pineapple really, bro The only thing that pizza is 88 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,600 good for now is the garbage in. A third said you lost me after 89 00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:08,480 Tan Doory Chicken half a great Day. I'm Johnny Mack, host of Daily 90 00:06:08,519 --> 00:06:11,720 Comedy News.
