Speaker 1: Kalaroga Shark Media. Hello Johnny Mack with five good news stories.
A painting that had been looted by the Nazis during
World War II has been turned over to the police
in Argentina after a years long search. A Dutch investigative
news outlet contacted the real estate agency, who called the cops.
But when the cops showed up, the painting was gone.
So one of the people at the house was a
descendant of a Nazi party official who during the war
transported large quantities of hard currency, diamonds, and artworks that
had either been stolen by the Nazis or sold to
the Nazis under duress from their Jewish owners. That party
official fled to Switzerland that eventually moved to Argentina, bringing
with him portrait of a lady. Anyway, so the cops
show up. The descendant of the Nazi had tried to
hide a portrait of a lady before the police raids.
When the cops showed up, there was just a picture
of a horse on the wall, but walmarks and even
a hook behind it showed that a painting may have
been moved. A descendant of the original owner said it's
encouraging that the painting is now with the authorities and
that it's no longer missing. I'm relieved that it's now
in a safe and secure place in Michigan. They have
found the wreck of a mysterious ghost ship, the FJ.
King sang in eighteen eighty six off the coast of
Bailey's Harbor, Wisconsin, but for decades they haven't been able
to find it because of conflicting reports from its captain
and a lighthouse keeper. Fishermen have claimed to have netted
parts of the wreck, but nobody could find it. A
team of researchers from the Wisconsin Underwater Archaeology Association and
the Wisconsin Historical Society located the ghost ship on June
twenty eighth. You see what happened was the captain thought
they were about five miles off the coast. The lighthouse
keeper thought they were far closer. So the scientists set
up a two mile grid around the area identified by
the lighthouse guy, and using side scan soner they picked
it up pretty quickly. One of the researchers said, a
few of us had to pinch each other. After all
the previous searches, we couldn't believe we had actually found
it and so quickly. Congratulations to a twenty nine year
old woman. She became the first to cross the United
States on a skateboard. She was honoring her stepfather, whose
ashes were carried in a necklace. Brooke on a skateboard
three two hundred and twenty six miles from Santa Monica, California.
Her journey ended when she walked into the Atlantic Ocean
on Virginia Beach after one hundred and nineteen days on
the road. She lifted her skateboard over her head and
couldn't help but think about her stepfather, Roger, who made
it all happen. Late in life, brook stepfather had broken
one of his vertebrae and became a quadriplegic. As his
health got worse, stepfather and daughter talked about Brook's dream
of cross country skateboarding. Originally, she had planned to push
him across the finish line in a wheelchair. Roger passed away,
Brooke had more motivation than ever. She raised money for
Wings for Life, a nonprofit dedicated to spinal cord research.
She shared her feet on social media and included a
voicemail from Roger that she had randomly found Roger said
in the voicemail, Everything's gonna be fine. We'll get through it.
Brent has become the first Canadian to receive an osteo
odonto care prosthesis. Hopefully I got that right. That translates
to a tooth in eye prosthetic. Brent's tooth has been
surgically implanted into his eye to act as a lens fixture,
which has enabled him to see again. He had already
been through fifty surgical transplants and procedures. He had received
a rare reaction to ibuprofen when he was thirteen that
left severe burns on his cornea. Why a tooth, It's
made of the hardest material produced by the body. A
hole is drilled through the canine tooth and a high
tech lens is fitted inside. The tooth is then attached
to the cheek through the eye, and an aperture to
the retina and optic nervous created so the light can
enter the lens and reach it with glasses. He now
has about twenty thirty vision and good news for me.
I'm gonna leave right now. My wife just texted me.
This is a real thing that happened in Warren County,
New Jersey, not too far from my lift. Thousands of
bags of eminem can have been spilled across Interstate eighty.
So I got to hop in the car because Johnny
Mack likes his M and MS. Now, I'm not being
a jerk. I don't do these stories when anybody's injured
or something horrible happens. Everybody's fine, But apparently a tractor
trailler carrying a full load of M and ms has
been in an accident, and there were dozens of boxes
of M and ms spilled onto the roadway. Again, I
gotta go help the police clean this up. And you
know I might pocket a couple long the way. And oh,
so your five good news stories for today? And also
why I'm late for work and not recording more episodes
of the podcast Johnny Mack Loves em and M's all right,
have a great day.
