00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:08.720
The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mac
with five good news stories. Good news,
2
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:12.759
we found your parrot. You see, Angela was celebrating with her family
3
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.359
in the yard and she looked over
her brother's shoulder and she saw a shamrock
4
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:19.839
green bird and she was like,
that's weird. And then the bird said
5
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:22.559
peek a boo. We were like, wait a minute. What. Angela
6
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:26.239
posted on Facebook soon got in touch
with the owner, Brent. Brent had
7
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:30.000
been missing Tiki the parrot for three
days. He said, it restored my
8
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.719
faith in humanity that they were so
nice and that everybody was like the whole
9
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:37.280
Northwest Cape pitched in. It helped
me. Brent had wanted a parrot for
10
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.759
a decade before he finally got Tiki. His family had an African gray parrot
11
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:43.079
when he was in high school.
Before he joined the military, he had
12
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.159
a dog, but he always wanted
a parrot. Had the parrot get out
13
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:50.119
well, The girlfriend was cleaning the
house with the door open, thinking the
14
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:53.520
parrot's cage door was closed, but
it was not, and Tiki was like
15
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.520
out of here, Tiki's back home
now and saying his usual lines, Hello,
16
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.039
come here, and of course peek
a boo. Hey, good news.
17
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:04.120
US cigarette smoking dropped to another all
time low last year. In the
18
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:08.640
mid sixties, forty two percent of
US adults were smokers. Last year,
19
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.799
just one in nine. Bad news, as e cigarettes are up from about
20
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.920
four and a half percent the year
before to six percent last year. That
21
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:21.799
concerns doctor Jonathan cemet, dean of
the Colorado School of Public Health. Nicotine
22
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:25.920
addiction has its own health implications,
including risk of high blood pressure and a
23
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.200
narrowing of the arteries. The American
Red Cross has teamed up with Snoopy.
24
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.719
If you give blood, you can
get a T shirt featuring Snoopy. Snoopy's
25
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.680
dressed up as his alter ego Joe
Cool, and the phrases be cool,
26
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:44.719
Give Blood. Kathy posted a six
second TikTok about her shirt and got four
27
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.480
million views. One person commented,
they're finally realizing we'll do anything for merch.
28
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.680
Another set, I'd literally skip class
to go donate blood and get my
29
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.120
shirt. The Red Cross has done
similar projects for Game of Thrones and Wonder
30
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.359
Woman nineteen eighty four. Chang said, I'm glad that TikTok got a lot
31
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.920
of attention because no one will go
out of the way to search out where
32
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:07.200
they can donate blood, but then
they see this incentive on social media and
33
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.560
they do it. Mattel has introduced
its first barbie with Down syndrome. They've
34
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:15.000
worked with the National Down Syndrome Society
in the US to make the doll,
35
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.800
which has a shorter frame and longer
torso than its other barbies. The new
36
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:22.639
doll's face is also a rounder shape
and has almond shaped eyes, smaller ears,
37
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.639
and a flat nasal bridge. The
dollars dressed in a puff sleeve frock
38
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.520
adorn with butterflies and flowers, and
yellow and blue. Those are colors associated
39
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.680
with Down syndrome awareness. This barbie
wears a pink necklace with three upward chevrons
40
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:38.199
representing the three copies of the twenty
first Cribozone, as well as pink ankle
41
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:42.919
foot athotics. Lisa McKnight is the
EVP and Global head of Barbie and Dolls
42
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.159
from Mattel and set our goals to
enable all children to see themselves in Barbie,
43
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.680
while also encouraging children to play with
dolls who do not look like themselves.

47
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:13.439

All right, so you've heard all
kinds of stories about gender reveals. Here's
58
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:11.080
another one. A couple decided to
do it with a cake. All Right,
59
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.520
We're gonna eat the cake and we're
gonna find out if we're having a
60
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:15.639
boy or a girl. Is the
inside of the cake blue or pink?
61
00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:21.480
Alyssa cut into the sponge cake and
it was yellow. She said, I
62
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:27.279
think they gave us the wrong cake. In case you're wondering what they're having,
63
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.560
I don't know, but the cake
is yellow. That's your five good
