Olivia Rodrigo's New Initiative PLUS a woman's boyfriend steals her toilet!
Johnny Mac delivers five heartwarming news stories ranging from a Barbie rescued from a river auctioned for over $1,000 to fund cleanup efforts, to Olivia Rodrigo's initiative to donate proceeds from her Canadian tour to women's shelters. Additionally, a biotech company's breakthrough in bio 3D printed windpipes offers new hope in medical science. A curious tale follows a man who bought a house on Amazon and found it too small to live in, planning to use it for Airbnb instead. The segment closes with a humorous story of a woman who woke up to find her toilet stolen by her ex-boyfriend, a licensed plumber, prompting an unexpected adventure to Taco Bell for bathroom use. The episode is a mix of humor, innovation, and philanthropy.

00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.839
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
shutting man with five good news stories.
2
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:14.800
Hey, did you see that Barbie
movie? Of course you did. Well.
3
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:17.600
Barbie's are back in high demand,
so when one was found at the
4
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:21.719
bottom of a river, people started
bidding on it. It has a lot
5
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:26.399
of nicknames, Wolf River, Barbie, waterlog Barbie, thousand dollars Barbie.
6
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.239
It was sold for twelve hundred and
twenty five dollars and an auction on eBay.
7
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:34.079
Money will go towards cleaning up waterways. Ed is a scuba diver.
8
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.880
He picks up trash when he finds
while diving. He said it was up
9
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.039
close to the dam. The gates
were closed, and I was getting a
10
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.560
lot of beer cans soda cans out
of there, and then I see Barbie
11
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.359
sticking out of the rockside grabbed her
first one I've ever found. I was
12
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:47.719
pretty excited. A friend suggested he
sell the Barbie, so we started an
13
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.960
auction on eBay for ninety nine cents. Within a day, bidding was up
14
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:54.399
to one hundred dollars when the bidding
ended. The Barbie was sold to a
15
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:58.759
woman in Wisconsin for twelve to twenty
five twelve hundred dollars. Ed's gonna use
16
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:02.119
the money to fund his cleanup effort. It's a nice job there, Olivia
17
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.599
rod Rio posted on on Instagram.
I wanted to take a second and talk
18
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.120
about the next cause is going to
be supporting. As part of my initiative
19
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.879
fund for Good for All the Guts
Worlds or Dates in Canada, I'm going
20
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.959
to be donating a portion of my
proceeds from ticket sales to Women's Shelters Canada.
21
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.239
Women's Shelters Canada supports over six hundred
shelters across the country. They help
22
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.519
women and children who are fleeing abuse
in violence. The nonprofit calls itself a
23
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:27.280
strong, unified Pan Canadian voice on
the issue of violence against women and provides
24
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.359
tools for hundreds of shelters and organizations
so they can channel as much as their
25
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:36.400
energy into helping women as possible.
A biotech company became the first company in
26
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:41.640
the world to produce a bio three
D printed wind pipe that was successfully transplanted
27
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.799
into a human body. Nasal stem
cells and cartilage cells were obtained from other
28
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:52.760
patients who underwent other procedures. Those
were repplicated and combined with polycapro lactone PCL
29
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.280
for structural support, as well as
a special ink made from living cells to
30
00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:00.439
make the wind pipe. A woman
in soul in her fiftiest part of her
31
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.879
own trachea during thyroid removal surgery.
The hope is that the artificial trachea will
32
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.599
allow the woman to live a relatively
normal life until it's expiration date five years
33
00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:12.159
from now. At that point,
the hypothesis is that her body will have
34
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.439
regenerated her own. That's kind of
cool. They're six months into this now
35
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:20.199
and the windpipe is healing and new
blood vessels are starting to form. Great
36
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:24.879
job scientists. A man bought a
house on Amazon for like twenty thousand dollars,
37
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.360
but notice some issues when he stepped
inside. Now, I'm a little
38
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.759
suspicious of the story because the man
at the middle of this, Jeff,
39
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:38.400
is described as a content creator,
So I'm wondering if content creator Jeff did
40
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:43.080
all this to become viral. Who
knows. As the story goes, Jeff
41
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.960
bought the house on Amazon on a
whim, despite it being tricked out with
42
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:51.560
appliances, a bathroom, sofas,
a coffee table. He can't step up
43
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.319
on it in a TikTok video.
The content creator said, I'm twenty three
44
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:58.439
years old. I just bought a
house off Amazon. He realized he could
45
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.639
touch the ceilings. He explained that
he's five to eight and said, I'm
46
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.000
not gonna live here. I'm actually
going to Airbnb because the ceilings are very
47
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.360
low. In the comment section,
somebody said, imagine having to return to
48
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:13.199
your house. A woman ended things
with her boyfriend because he doesn't pay his
49
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:15.520
way. He doesn't tip service staff, so the dude's kind of cheap.
50
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:20.039
They broke up. The woman went
down a lie in her bedroom. He
51
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.280
was packing his bags to get out
of their house. She fell asleep.
52
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.840
When she woke up, she noticed
her toilet was gone. She said,
53
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.479
I split up with my boyfriend yesterday. I fell asleep while he was backing,
54
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.159
and he stole my toilet. He's
a license plumber, so at least
55
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.479
that makes sense, so he knew
what he was doing. I won't lie.
56
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.199
I've been laughing about it too.
Every breakup gets more and more interesting.
57
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:44.039
Oh there's more, she continued her
rend Nothing about him makes sense.
58
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:50.120
He's the cheapest naughty word here fellow
I've ever met. He refused to tip
59
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.039
service at restaurants because that's how they
do it in Japan, according to him,
60
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:54.479
and wouldn't pay the power bill for
the whole time we lived together.
61
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.759
So since she didn't have a toilet
and there was no second toilet, she
62
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:02.319
had to run to Taco every time
she needed to go. But thankfully for
63
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.840
her, she got in touch with
another plumber and now has a brand new
64
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:10.080
toilet. I think my favorite part
is the taco pill part of the story.
65
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.840
Those are five good news stories for
today. If you enjoy the program,
66
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:15.159
tell a friend about it day mon. They could two share it on
67
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:16.920
social media. Maybe someone else will
discover the show and enjoy it. If
