    Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance’s 24/7 Wildlife Explorers Channel now streams live animal cams, zoo encounters, and educational programming to children in 400+ hospitals across 48 states and 12 countries, helping patients who can’t visit in person. A 100-year-old Nebraska WWII veteran and rancher, Roger Steele, became the oldest U.S. organ donor after his liver was deemed healthy for transplant, highlighting that age isn’t a limit. In Hawaii, Tyler and friends rescued 15 horses from chest-high overnight floodwaters without injuries. Michigan animal control responded to a report of a diaper-wearing spider monkey named Brazil trying to enter a home; it was returned next door and is legal as a pet in the state. Philadelphia International Airport set a Guinness record with 1,291 cheesesteaks lined up end-to-end.

    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.

    Vape Squirrel
    May 10 2026
    Johnny Mac presents five good news stories: England completed the King Charles III England Coast Path, a 2,689-mile trail tracing the full perimeter of England’s coastline after 18 years of work, with new bridges, boardwalks, and mostly continuous routing; an opossum stowed away on a cargo ship to Alaska, was found in Juneau, and—since it’s invasive there—was taken to the Alaska Zoo and named Meatball; Chile established a massive maritime protected area of about 386,000 square miles, the third largest protected marine seascape, safeguarding diverse marine life and an underwater mountain chain; in Chicago, two separate delivery robots from Serve Robotics and Coco Robotics crashed into bus shelters and shattered glass, with both companies responding and offering repairs; and in the UK, discarded vapes pose risks to wildlife after footage showed a squirrel chewing on a vape, likely attracted by fruity flavors and exposed to nicotine and microplastics.
