1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:09,400 The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack with five Good News Stories. Do you 2 00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:14,720 like acorns? Probably not as much as Brian, who's seventy six. He's 3 00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:18,559 been hoarding a tree seeds and hopes to send some over to Ukraine, as 4 00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:22,559 he describes trees as a sign of life. Brian has a collection of more 5 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,800 than ten thousand. He says, I'd also like to educate children about trees, 6 00:00:26,839 --> 00:00:29,480 how important they are for our environment, and how easily they can be 7 00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:32,520 grown. I just don't have the finances to be able to take my projects 8 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,240 further to the next stages. I don't know what to do with them all 9 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,159 now. He stores the seeds in his garage and loft. He even bought 10 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,799 an extra fridge to keep them cool. They need to chill for a month 11 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,960 before they can germinate. He even has a small forest planted in an old 12 00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:50,479 kitchen sink. Maybe we should get him a piece lily because NASA says the 13 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,520 peace lily can help remove dust and toxins from the air. The peace lily 14 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,000 takes moisture in from the air through its leaves, and what's better is it 15 00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:02,520 doesn't need direct sunlight to thrive. It'll thrive in bathrooms and bedrooms and help 16 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,959 improve air quality. It's pretty and it's low maintenance. Thanks peace, Lily. 17 00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:10,560 How about the flight attendant who spent an entire trip holding the hand of 18 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,519 a nervous flyer. Floyd Dean Shannon won the hearts of people around the world 19 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,280 after a photo went viral showing him sitting on the floor of the plane during 20 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,040 a flight from North Carolina to New York. There was an anxious woman on 21 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,920 the flight. A fellow passenger said the woman was so nervous about flying, 22 00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:29,319 so he explained every sound and bump and even sat here holding her hand. 23 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,799 When it got to be too much for her, he said, I got 24 00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:34,400 you. Was just very reassuring, told her not to worry. He was 25 00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:37,239 gonna be totally safe, and she was tearing up. With every little noise. 26 00:01:37,239 --> 00:01:38,319 She'd be like, what's that. He said, That's okay, it's 27 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,239 just the jet bridge pulling away or whatever the case may be, and it 28 00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:45,200 really helped her. I just really hope that Floyd gets what he deserves, 29 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,359 which is everyone's love, everyone's praise, everyone's admiration. I'm so happy he's 30 00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:52,959 getting recognition. I really hope it leads to good things for him. Good 31 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,439 news, they found Nugget the dog. It took seven years and Nugget was 32 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,680 found seventeen hundred miles away, but they found Nugge. Nugget went missing in 33 00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:06,840 twenty fifteen in Farmington, New Mexico, and showed up in Travelers Rest, 34 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,599 South Carolina. Jennifer in South Carolina was sitting on a porch was raining. 35 00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:15,080 She saw a limping dog on the road. Jennifer said, my first thought 36 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,960 is I need to take him to the vet and get him checked for a 37 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,919 microchip. They did that, and it turned out the owner lived seventeen hundred 38 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,800 miles away in New Mexico. The owner said, when Gin texted me, 39 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,560 I was like, wait what. That dog never left my side. I 40 00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:30,120 thought he'd walked off to die because he was already old. It is unclear 41 00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:32,840 how Nugget, the dog, who's now sixteen, ended up so far from 42 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,039 home. They suspect Nugget might have been picked up by somebody on a road 43 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,240 trip who decided taking the pet, not realizing that Nugget was microchip and belonged 44 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:50,639 to somebody else. I am Patty Callahan, Henry, I am Mary kay 45 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,840 Andrews. I'm Kristin Harmel and I'm Kristy Woodson Harvey.

And good news for some English soccer fans, the beer gut delivered 58 00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:02,719 in time way Do you hear this? They were stuck on a delayed train, 59 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:08,520 so they ordered beer delivery from Uber Eats. They gambled that the Uber 60 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,360 Eats would show up before the train got to the next station. They were 61 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,919 on their way to watch west Ham play Brighton, but the train delays turned 62 00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:18,240 their one hour trip into three and a half hours. They had brought two 63 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,040 beers each for their ten o'clock train, but didn't get to Brighton until one 64 00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:27,680 thirty. As they were approaching three Bridges station, they decided to put it 65 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,160 on an order with Uber Eats, hoping that they could time this out. 66 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,720 They'd promised the delivery driver and extra twenty if he managed to get the four 67 00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:38,439 beers and two siders to them on time. They shot this on video and 68 00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:41,959 they were communicating with Gino, the driver who was waiting for them clutching their 69 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,240 order at platform five. The nerve racking clip shows Jordan, who only had 70 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,399 a one minute window, hopping off the train looking for Gino. Gino was 71 00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:54,199 there. They got their beers and presumably made it to the soccer game safely. 72 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,439 Who knows, I don't have that part of the story.
