0:03 Caloroga Shark Media Man. Good news for me. I was writing the script for the show and my wife came home with black raspberry ice cream. It was delicious. Yesterday was the first nice days since last year. Hi. I'm Johnny Meg with five good news stories. I'm high on ice cream. Good news for Scott Debra. They've got a new roof on their house. That's great, right, it'll keep the rain out. It makes the house look better. Here's the thing, though, they didn't order a roof. The roofing company came by and I'd taken off a lot of the old roof and then realized, hey, we're at the wrong house. The owner said. Had to be humble. We made a mistake. Here's what we can do to fix it. Scott, the house owner said, it was pretty funny. They were very gracious, very sweet. They understood a little shocked and Dug the house owner he's kind of like me, he said. He probably wouldn't even notice the new roof after he got back. But once a week I'll ask my wife how long has that been hanging on the wall there, And the answer is usually like twenty years. Scientists successfully three D printed some human skin tissue into open wounds. WHOA How does this work? Scientists at Pennsylvania State University printed living human skin tissue directly into the open wounds of rats. Why is this good news? Well, current methods of skin and hair reconstruction, like skin grafts, can often result in scars. This could lead to a more seamless treatment for humans. That's good. Did you watch the Oscars the other night? A lot of people did, and The Last Repair Shop took home the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short and that has inspired a bunch of donations for the Music Repair Program in Los Angeles. During his
1:36 acceptance speech, one of the directors talked about the importance of investing in today's youth and removing barriers to music education. He said, LA is one of the last cities in America to give public school students free and freely repaired instruments. We need to fix that because musical education isn't just about creating incredibly musicians, It's about creating incredible humans. Well said. There's a website, the Last Repair Shop dot com and where hours after the Oscars, nine thousand dollars had been raised. The goal is five million, so still a ways to go. Congratulations to Connor. He goes to Auburn University. He was in one of those contests, you know, at halftime of a sporting event, can you win a car? Well, Connor made a ninety four foot putt, rolling a golf ball from one baseline through a sign to the other basket.
2:21 He won a car from the local Toyota dealership. Congratulations Connor. Good news for Mark and his wife. They found the lottery ticket they had lost. They had won fifty thousand dollars. They couldn't find the ticket. Mark walked into the local convenience store. The owner was like, congratulations. Mark's like for what. The owner said, you won the lottery, and he said, I wish she said you did. I have you on video. Mark and his wife looked around. They couldn't find the ticket. They were worried they had thrown it away. The wife said, had been beating myself up for three months, thinking I threw this ticket away. Luckily, Mark went to check on the condition of a company car he sometimes drives, and he saw the ticket inside. The car is not used often. Mark says, I don't know how long it might have sat out there. If I hadn't needed the car. They grabbed the ticket, went to lottery headquarters.
3:06 They got a check for thirty six thousand dollars after taxes. They plan to pay off the bills and might even take a trip. And those are your five good news stories for today. If you join the program, boy, the numbers are really up. I appreciate you all listening to this. People are really catching on. It's fun for me to do so, thank you. Please share the show with a friend that'll help grow the show, and I'll see you on Friday with five more good news stories.
