0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Barbie's at it again. They've released a new series of trail blazing women athletes, this in anticipation of the twenty twenty four Olympics. The new slogan team Barbie you Can Be Anything. Among of the new Barbies Venus Williams, the very famous American Tannis player, one of the most decorated Olympic athletes. Christine Sinclair is a Canadian soccer player, hailed as soccer's greatest international scorer one hundred and ninety goals to her name. Mary Fler, also a soccer player, became the team's youngest player to be selected for the FIFA World Cup at sixteen.

0:43 Estelle Mostly, a French boxer, crowned as an Olympic champion in twenty sixteen. Alexa Moreno, a gymnast who was Mexico's first female world medalist in the sport. Rebecca Andron Day, a Brazilian Olympic gold and silver medallist, Susanna Rodriguez, a Spanish paratriathlon star, Italian swimmer Frederica Pellegrini who was swaboda the Polish track and field of Springer, who's a decorated championship medalist and holds the record of seven point zero one seconds in the sixty meter race. Venus Williams said, throughout my career, I've always been driven by the ideas of shattering glass ceilings and staying true to myself and Barbie's mission. Couldn't resonate more deeply with that ethos. Good news for the blackfooted ferris. You guys are endangered, which is better than what was going on in nineteen seventy nine when we thought you guys were extinct. Blackfooted ferrets are North America's only native ferret species. Thought to be extinct in seventy nine, they were rediscovered in Wyoming in nineteen eighty one. The conservation has got involved, between captive breeding, wildlife reintroductions, habitat restoration, and even genetic cloning. They're seeing a comeback.

1:46 This story driven by a new litter born at the Smithsonians National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute, and if you go to their website you can look at the ferrets on a webcam. Samantha Salway didn't let battling breast cancer get her down. She ran and hundreds of miles, including multiple marathons. She participated in four races during her pregnancy, she gave birth and ran in another three races while being treated for cancer. She tells USA Today. Mentally, it was hard to constantly see yourself improve then be pushed back down for something that wasn't in your control. But in my mind it was little steps and big goals. If you could take the little steps to get you to that big goal, you'll eventually get there. Back in twenty twenty three, she noticed her left breast was sore. She was pregnant with her third child. She thought, you know, maybe that was related, maybe milk was coming in early or something. She started receiving chemo on Fridays, which allowed her to run Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. By Tuesday, I'd tell myself, hey, you don't have to run, but if you get up and go outside, you'll feel better. She'd start off slow and then start walking and then start running, and you know, felt better. People ask her how she did it, and she says, just set those little goals. Know that those little goals will add up. All right, A doctor is telling us we need to wash our belly buttons every day. I'm not gonna throw you under the bus. I might have missed a day this week. I'm not sure, or it's all. Belly buttons, if not clean properly, can cause an unpleasant stench. Doctor Yodav went on TikTok to urge people to wash their belly buttons. She captured her video. Does shut belly buttons smell?

3:15 Well? You could have a naval stone. You want to prevent this, Please wash your belly buttons. Web MD tells us a naval stone is a condition where substances like seabumskin oil, hair, dead skin cells, and dirt can accumulate and form a hardball. The stone is usually a dark color and firm to the touch. I'm being serious here as I'm recording. All I want to do now is check on my belly button. I did. It seems pretty clean. They may resemble a large blackhead. In the opening of the navel, Doctor Udov tells us if your belly button smells, you need to clean it with a cue tip or with soap or water every day in the shower. Nice job by Blake. He restored his grandfather's cherished nineteen fifty four pickup truck. As a teenager, Richard had bought the International Harvester for fifty dollars and a hog. I don't have more details. I'm curious.

4:06 I can imagine, I can speculate, But hey, nice truck. Is it for sale? Sure you got any money? I got fifty bucks? Will you throw in the hog? Sure? The truck, nicknamed Canniball, stayed on the property for more than forty five years. When Blake was a kid, he thought of Canniball as his truck, even though most of the time it was sitting there broken. When he grew up, he took the truck in for new breaks. However, he eventually decided to do a full restoration. With the help of C and J's Classic and muscle cars, they brought the truck back to working order.
