Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories.

Be on the lookout for Leonardo da Pinci, a kitten who has been stealing things one hundred and fifty things over the past nine months.

His human says he brings home a lot of things.

He doesn't do much with him once they're inside, but he dumps them on the floor as it goes about his business.

He likes to steal underwear and socks, but isn't too picky.

Hell On the human said one of the things was a really expensive jersey with the tex still on.

Some stuffed toys, loads of underpants and socks, gardening gloves, active wear, hats, sports bras, shorts, and everything really.

According to Helen Sunday's Or the Day, Leo steals most things because that's when the neighborhood tends to be using clotheslines, but says other than that, he's a kidding.

He attacks everything he bites.

He wakes up in the middle of the night.

This cat sounds awesome.

The biggest thing that Leo brought home a five foot long stuffed snake, and he's brought that home twice.

Good News, we found your wallabies.

They had escaped from their owner's home in Now I'm not going to say Australia, Belgium, where of course wallabies live.

Now this is Europe, but the country's a little tighter.

One of the wallabies had crossed the border from Belgium into France.

This is an international incident, I'm telling you about.

Think about it.

The local firefighters on social media said, in order to capture the wallaby safely, painlessly and safely, technicians deployed a net to prevent escape and then grab them more supial by the tail.

This technique is completely painless for the animal, avoiding blows with the tail, scratches with the paws, or potentially the risk of defensive bites.

That wallaby has returned to the owner.

The other wallaby, no one knows.

Let me know.

If you're in Europe and you see a wallaby.

I'm pretty sure if you're in Europe and you do see a random wallaby, it is probably the one we're talking about.

Good news scientists on this one.

They say caffeine may help reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease.

Doctor Frederica Amati said caffeine is the world's most consumed psychoactive drug.

It's a natural plant chemical that plants make to protect themselves from insects and other pets, and it does have a lot of health benefits.

One study found that among healthy individuals and patients with Parkinson's disease, caffeine consumption was significantly associated with a lower hazard risk for the risk or progression of Parkinson's disease.

A second study found that moderate coffee consumption leads to a decrease in all cause and cardiovascular related mortality, hypertension, cholesterol, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation.

But scientists point out whether caffeine is good for you or not depends on you and your genetics.

Now I'm going to take the break here for several reasons.

One now I want to go get my iced coffee from upstairs.

And two, my dog is scratching at the door and wants to come in.

I'll be right back.

Okay, where where we I'm back and the dog is here?

Do you want something?

Yeah, I'm trying to record a podcast in the ice you here, That is my ice coffee.

So that's what's going on here.

Meanwhile, in Chicago, more than eighty two thousand rubber ducks floated down the Chicago River.

It was the annual twenty twenty five Chicago ducky Derby.

That's an annual fundraiser for Special Olympics.

Illinois fans adopted duck for ten dollars donation.

Then the ducks are put in the river for floating race.

There's prizes.

You can win a Trailblazer car, twenty five dollars cash, some Cubs tickets.

After the race, the ducks were removed from the river and they're stored for use in next year's duck race.

That's a lot of fun.

Now, Laura, she was down in Cape May, New Jersey, a very very very awesome pretty beach town.

She took her wedding ring off and another ring to put on some sunscreen and oops, yeah, you know how this is gonna go.

She called the Cape May Fire Department, got connected with Jeffrey, who runs Ring Finders Cape May.

That is a hobby helper service that helps people find their rings.

Jeffrey called her back, bad news.

I got nothing for you, and that's it.

No, that's not how this show works.

How did I just in that like there was nothing to the story.

No, you know how the program works.

A few days later, there was some weather and high winds and rain.

Still no ring.

However, a few days after that, a family was playing in the sand and found the ring.

Through the magic of social media, everybody got connected.

The rings are back and everyone's happy.
