About this episode

Johnny Mac shares five uplifting news stories including a lottery win, an environmental project, and a raccoon rescue.

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: a Maryland man stopped at a Royal Farms in Forest Hill for fried chicken, bought lottery tickets, rolled two $50 wins into more tickets, and ultimately won $1 million—so excited he left his food behind and called his kids; he’s played for 30 years and previously won $50,000 twice and $10,000 weeks earlier. In Hawaii, the Hawaii Pacific University-led Bounty Project has removed 84 metric tons of abandoned “ghost gear” in just over three years by paying commercial fishermen to collect it, with 77 fishermen completing 690+ recoveries. Mohammed broke the Guinness record again with 66 thumb pushups with one leg raised in one minute. In Scotland, a man and his Labrador found a message-in-a-bottle from Canada dated August 2024. Vermont firefighters freed a raccoon with its head stuck in a peanut butter jar. John also hosts Daily Comedy News Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!
