About this episode

Johnny Mac shares five uplifting stories, including a record-breaking feat and a humorous case of mistaken identity.

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: a woman on a road trip in Australia fell waist-deep into a collapsed pit toilet at the Henbury Meteorites Conservation Zone and was trapped about three hours before a passing tradesman, alerted by her husband, used a rope and his car to pull her out over 45 minutes; Johnny Cruz Buckingham (“Mr. World Records”) set the fastest towed asphalt skiing record at 69 mph behind a car to inspire his child; Buffalo hockey fans finished “O Canada” after a singer’s microphone cut out, and the Sabres later won the series in Game 6 for their first playoff series win since 2007; Xavier completed 12,412 pull-ups in 24 hours, beating the prior record by 67; and in Armenia, a reported escaped zebra was actually a donkey painted with stripes, prompting a zoo warning about toxic dyes.
