About this episode

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories including odd items left in Ubers and a concert performance rescue.

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: Uber’s 10th Annual Lost and Found Index lists common forgotten items like phones and wallets alongside oddities such as dentures, breast milk, an ankle monitor, live fish, butterflies, a fake butt, and even two trees; New York City tops the most forgetful cities, Sundays are worst, and July 17 is the most forgetful date. In Sydney, a concertgoer named Sterling stepped in to sight-read and improvise as pianist during a La La Land score performance after the original pianist fell ill. A Norwegian underwater survey found a 72-foot shipwreck about 2,000 feet down with intact Chinese porcelain cargo, likely sunk around 1750. Scotland residents report a destructive parakeet damaging car rubber seals and wipers. In Lexington, animal control chased a loose chicken that even took a dip in a pool before ending up safe at a shelter.
