1 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 1: Kalaroga Shark Media. Hello Johnny Mack with five good news stories. 2 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,000 A painting that had been looted by the Nazis during 3 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,359 World War II has been turned over to the police 4 00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:22,359 in Argentina after a years long search. A Dutch investigative 5 00:00:22,399 --> 00:00:26,199 news outlet contacted the real estate agency, who called the cops. 6 00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:28,920 But when the cops showed up, the painting was gone. 7 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,000 So one of the people at the house was a 8 00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:34,759 descendant of a Nazi party official who during the war 9 00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:39,000 transported large quantities of hard currency, diamonds, and artworks that 10 00:00:39,119 --> 00:00:41,280 had either been stolen by the Nazis or sold to 11 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,759 the Nazis under duress from their Jewish owners. That party 12 00:00:44,799 --> 00:00:49,000 official fled to Switzerland that eventually moved to Argentina, bringing 13 00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:52,240 with him portrait of a lady. Anyway, so the cops 14 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,880 show up. The descendant of the Nazi had tried to 15 00:00:55,039 --> 00:00:57,520 hide a portrait of a lady before the police raids. 16 00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:00,359 When the cops showed up, there was just a picture 17 00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:03,039 of a horse on the wall, but walmarks and even 18 00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:05,840 a hook behind it showed that a painting may have 19 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,879 been moved. A descendant of the original owner said it's 20 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,040 encouraging that the painting is now with the authorities and 21 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,239 that it's no longer missing. I'm relieved that it's now 22 00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:16,439 in a safe and secure place in Michigan. They have 23 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,239 found the wreck of a mysterious ghost ship, the FJ. 24 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,840 King sang in eighteen eighty six off the coast of 25 00:01:21,879 --> 00:01:25,799 Bailey's Harbor, Wisconsin, but for decades they haven't been able 26 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,599 to find it because of conflicting reports from its captain 27 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,719 and a lighthouse keeper. Fishermen have claimed to have netted 28 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,000 parts of the wreck, but nobody could find it. A 29 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,560 team of researchers from the Wisconsin Underwater Archaeology Association and 30 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,959 the Wisconsin Historical Society located the ghost ship on June 31 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,879 twenty eighth. You see what happened was the captain thought 32 00:01:45,879 --> 00:01:48,159 they were about five miles off the coast. The lighthouse 33 00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:50,359 keeper thought they were far closer. So the scientists set 34 00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:52,760 up a two mile grid around the area identified by 35 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,799 the lighthouse guy, and using side scan soner they picked 36 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,760 it up pretty quickly. One of the researchers said, a 37 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,400 few of us had to pinch each other. After all 38 00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:02,680 the previous searches, we couldn't believe we had actually found 39 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,480 it and so quickly. Congratulations to a twenty nine year 40 00:02:06,519 --> 00:02:09,120 old woman. She became the first to cross the United 41 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,360 States on a skateboard. She was honoring her stepfather, whose 42 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,960 ashes were carried in a necklace. Brooke on a skateboard 43 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,919 three two hundred and twenty six miles from Santa Monica, California. 44 00:02:20,439 --> 00:02:22,759 Her journey ended when she walked into the Atlantic Ocean 45 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,479 on Virginia Beach after one hundred and nineteen days on 46 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,520 the road. She lifted her skateboard over her head and 47 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,960 couldn't help but think about her stepfather, Roger, who made 48 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,400 it all happen. Late in life, brook stepfather had broken 49 00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:36,879 one of his vertebrae and became a quadriplegic. As his 50 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,000 health got worse, stepfather and daughter talked about Brook's dream 51 00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:43,000 of cross country skateboarding. Originally, she had planned to push 52 00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:46,199 him across the finish line in a wheelchair. Roger passed away, 53 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,360 Brooke had more motivation than ever. She raised money for 54 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,680 Wings for Life, a nonprofit dedicated to spinal cord research. 55 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,680 She shared her feet on social media and included a 56 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,360 voicemail from Roger that she had randomly found Roger said 57 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,800 in the voicemail, Everything's gonna be fine. We'll get through it. 58 00:03:02,199 --> 00:03:05,560 Brent has become the first Canadian to receive an osteo 59 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:11,120 odonto care prosthesis. Hopefully I got that right. That translates 60 00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:15,400 to a tooth in eye prosthetic. Brent's tooth has been 61 00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:19,520 surgically implanted into his eye to act as a lens fixture, 62 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,360 which has enabled him to see again. He had already 63 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,759 been through fifty surgical transplants and procedures. He had received 64 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,400 a rare reaction to ibuprofen when he was thirteen that 65 00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:32,520 left severe burns on his cornea. Why a tooth, It's 66 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,719 made of the hardest material produced by the body. A 67 00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:36,840 hole is drilled through the canine tooth and a high 68 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,400 tech lens is fitted inside. The tooth is then attached 69 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,319 to the cheek through the eye, and an aperture to 70 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,400 the retina and optic nervous created so the light can 71 00:03:44,479 --> 00:03:47,400 enter the lens and reach it with glasses. He now 72 00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:51,599 has about twenty thirty vision and good news for me. 73 00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:54,360 I'm gonna leave right now. My wife just texted me. 74 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,840 This is a real thing that happened in Warren County, 75 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,919 New Jersey, not too far from my lift. Thousands of 76 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,159 bags of eminem can have been spilled across Interstate eighty. 77 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,280 So I got to hop in the car because Johnny 78 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,080 Mack likes his M and MS. Now, I'm not being 79 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,280 a jerk. I don't do these stories when anybody's injured 80 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,560 or something horrible happens. Everybody's fine, But apparently a tractor 81 00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:15,360 trailler carrying a full load of M and ms has 82 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,720 been in an accident, and there were dozens of boxes 83 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,199 of M and ms spilled onto the roadway. Again, I 84 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,160 gotta go help the police clean this up. And you 85 00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:24,720 know I might pocket a couple long the way. And oh, 86 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,199 so your five good news stories for today? And also 87 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,240 why I'm late for work and not recording more episodes 88 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,759 of the podcast Johnny Mack Loves em and M's all right, 89 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,480 have a great day.
